(cheerful orchestra music)

- We cut out the third channel blue three,

and the circuit is closed.

All three channels are now sealed.

She's ready for shipment.

- And its completely safe?

- You security people are all the same.

Yes, it's safe.

- How necessary is that thermic safety valve, sir?

- It could be very necessary, Raynor.

When the reactor is stabilized as it normally is,

the auto thermostat controls the temperature.

But during transit, the thermic safety valve

will keep the temperature

below the critical level, 200 degrees.

A failure could result in a nuclear explosion.

- An explosion?

- Oh yes, but all three channels

would have to be reopened as well.

(thunder rumbles)

(gate whirs)

(indicator alarm buzzes)

Ah, the transporters arrived.

Right, mobilize the reactor cradle.

(reactor whirs)

Reactor mobile, sir.

(suspenseful music)

(enthusiastic orchestra music)

- It's a bad night, driver, and a precious cargo.

I hope you drive carefully.

Yes, sir, I got my orders.

Drive at a steady 25 to be in Manicougan by--

- By 0900 hours and no later.

We will be monitoring your progress

at three checkpoints en route.

- Dont worry about a thing.

- Transporter 43 should be coming to the bridge detour now.

- Is it clearly marked?

- Perfectly, we have clearly defined the new route.

He can't miss it.

(suspenseful music)

(thunder rumbles)

- What the?

(tires squealing)

(truck smashes and clangs)

(suspenseful electronic music)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic rhythmic drum music)

- [Mysterons] This is the voice of the Mysterons.

We know that you can hear us, Earth men.

Disaster will strike the Atlantic seaboard

of North America.

We will deal a heavy blow

to the prestige of the world.

We will continue to take our revenge.

(suspenseful electronic music)

(dramatic rhythmic drum music)

(upbeat processional music)

- The Atlantic seaboard.

What are the conditions there, Lieutenant?

- Not good, sir.

Heavy electrical storm since 12:00 Midnight.

- We'll have to bear with it.

Launch Angels One, Two, and Three, Lieutenant.

Order them to proceed at speed ultimate

to area reference points 73 and 7-4C.

- SIG.

[Colonel] And check ground security

and see if there s anything that could be

the target for this Mysteron threat.

- Angel One, immediate launch.

(jet engine roaring)

Angels Two and Three, immediate launch.

(jet engines roaring)

Captain Blue, Captain Scarlet,

report to Control immediately.

(thunder rumbling)

- [Agent] Well, truck 43 passed through

the first checkpoint safely, Doctor.

A couple of minutes late, but otherwise okay.

A delay could have been caused by the weather.

- No doubt, but the storm seems to have passed now.

The next checkpoint should be right on the button.

- Good, everything's going to schedule.

(triumphant music)

- Colonel, Ground Security reports

a coal reactor in transit to the new

Manicougan Power Complex.

- The latest Mysteron threat is focused in that area.

Who's in charge of the project?

- Dr. Sommers, sir.

I put out an immediate call, he s on the line.

- Thank you, Lieutenant.

Dr Sommers, Colonel White, Spectrum here.

We're checking off possible security risks.

We understand you're shipping a nuclear reactor.

- Why yes, Colonel, but there is no risk.

We have completely neutralized it,

in fact it s due to pass through the second

of our checkpoints in just a few minutes.

And we are sure it'll be right on time.

- I think we'll check it out, Doctor.

Whats the route?

Highway 83, but we really didn't wish

to attract attention to the shipment.

That's why there's no conventional escort.

- Well be discreet, Doctor.

Captain Blue, Captain Scarlet,

go to grid reference DP8 and pick up an SPV.

Take Highway 83, it leads right into the

Manicougan Dam site.

(dramatic rhythmic drum music)

- Shouldn't be too long now before we overtake it.

- Right.

(suspenseful music)

Sorry to break my appointment

at the final checkpoint, Doctor,

but there's been a little change in plan.

(dramatic music)

(helicopter roaring)

If you value your life, don't move.

Keep the main flow of helicopter's in operation.

But program one to fly as I instruct.

- Right on time.

(helicopter roaring)

- [Captain Black] This is Captain Black

relaying instructions from the Mysterons.

Switch in the last circuit blue three

and remove the thermal safety value.

(dramatic music)

(regal orchestra music)

- Captain Blue, what s your position?

- We're just about five miles short of Manicougan, Colonel.

And we still haven't spotted the truck.

Security has just been through

to say the reactor has missed the final checkpoint.

That means that somewhere after checkpoint two

the truck turned off.

Go back, Captain, and find that truck.

(tires squealing)

(suspenseful music)

( motors whirring)

- Who's there?

Sorry friend, you're one witness too many.

(gun firing) (suspenseful music)

(helicopter roaring)

First cut off just coming up, Captain.

Well take a look.

- Could be first time lucky.

- Right, let s go.

Look, something moving over there.

- Seneca. Seneca!

- He s passed out. Why was he shot?

- Seneca, does it mean anything to you?

- No, check the clearing.

I ll arrange to get him into hospital.

- SIG.

(birds chirping)

Captain Scarlet, fresh tracks alright!

And whatever made them was pretty heavy.

And here's something else.

Looks like some kind of valve.

- It seems the transporter was here, it cant be far away.

(jet engine roaring)

- I have located the transport,

but it is headed away from the Manicougan .

Shall engage?

- No, jsut maitain visual contact.

Captain Scarlet, Destiny Angel has spotted the transport

carrying the reactor.

She'll key you in on it's position.

Your orders are to stop that truck at all costs!

- SIG, Colonel

The injured man is comfortable.

- [Colonel] Good, hell be picked up in three minutes.

- Oh, we found a valve, part number 4B832.

- We'll check it out

Lieutenant, get Dr. Sommers.

(jet engine roaring)

- I can see the SPV.

The truck is about a mile ahead of you.

If you maintain present speed,

you will catch him before he reaches the woods.

- There it is, we've got him!

(engines rumbling)

(dramatic upbeat music)

- [Driver] Spectrum!

Watch out!

(tires squealing)

(truck crashing and banging)

Let's get that truck open and take a look at the reactor.

( motors whirring) (dramatic music)

Empty!

The reactors been switched.

Were back to square one.

(dramatic rhythmic drum music)

(ship engine whirring)

- Colonel, Dr Sommers has just confirmed

that the 4B832 valve is part

of the safety device in the reactor.

It could start to overheat and go critical.

- Captain Scarlet, the Manicougan site

is now an emergency area.

Security has blocked off the entire county.

The only things moving in there

are a couple of supply helicopters

for a construction company building Expo 2068.

- Helicopters?

- [Colonel] Yes Captain, the Seneca company

have them under remote control.

- Seneca!

Colonel, how big a cargo can they carry?

- Pretty big.

Wait a minute!

- Yes, Colonel, I believe one of those helicopters

is carrying the reactor.

And without that valve it must be overheating.

(upbeat suspenseful music)

Bring the helicopter into a hovering position

directly above the Expo tower.

(helicopter roaring)

How much further?

About four miles.

(helicopter roaring)

- Stabilize that position and lock off the controls.

(helicopter roaring)

(suspenseful music)

- [Dr. Sommers] This is Dr. Sommers calling Captain Scarlet.

- Yes, Doctor?

Captain, as soon as you gain access to the reactor

follow my instructions in their exact sequence.

I will tell you precisely what to do.

But it is vital that you follow my instructions

to the letter. - SIG.

(dramatic music)

There it is, hovering above the tower.

Crash that helicopter.

You'd told me the lock off the controls.

(pack whirring)

(suspenseful music)

No! (gun firing)

(electrical fire crackles)

(helicopter roaring)

- I'm going to attach the harness to the crate.

(harness gun fires)

- Lieutenant Green, alert Dr. Sommers

- [Lieutenant] SIG.

(saw whirring)

(helicopter roaring)

- Hes almost reached the reactor, you all set?

- Yes, I can give the instructions.

I just hope he has time to carry them out.

(helicopter roaring)

(saw whirring)

- Right Doctor, I'm inside the crate.

Start the shut procedure.

- First, the reactor, is it going critical?

- Yes, there's a terrific heat build-up.

- The thermal gauge, Captain, what does it register?

- It's 189 degrees and rising.

That reactor will blow at 200 degrees.

The coolant supply switch is on Emergency A panel.

Turn it to maximum.

(switch clicking)

Coolant supply switch at maximum.

Is the gauge holding?

- No Doctor, its rising! Now 194 degrees.

Quickly then, the three primary circuits.

Remove the inspection cover

marked red circuits 1 to 50.

- Red circuits 1 to 50.

(helicopter roaring)

(reactor crashes)

Ah!

- Captain, are you alright?

Captain?

- Yes, yes, I think so.

- You must disconnect the wires

from terminals 4, 19, and 37, in that order.

- 4, 19, and 37.

- [Dr Sommers] What s the thermal reading, Captain?

It's at 196 - 196!

Quickly, those circuits!

(suspenseful music)

- Captain Scarlet, you are running out of time!

4 and 19 disconnected.

(antennae crashing)

Captain Scarlet, terminal 37!

(suspenseful music)

(helicopter roaring)

- Captain Scarlet!

(helicopter crashes)

(dramatic rhythmic drum music)

(engine roars)

Colonel White, prepare the sick bay for Captain Scarlet.

I'm bringing him in.
