Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

Special Assignment (1x10)

Uitzenddatum: Dec 01, 1967

Spectrum Intelligence entrust Captain Scarlet with a ""special assignment"" which is to deliberately lose a large sum of money at a casino, and to place himself on their debt owners list for 5,000 credits. When this is reported to Spectrum Headquarters, Colonel White fires Scarlet on the spot for violating the organisation's code of conduct, and his career is over. Living in a cheap shabby hotel room temporarily, a pair of Mysteron agents, posing as sought after gangsters, formulate a deal with the now Paul Metcalfe, with his I.O.U. for 5,000 credits, in return for a Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle, which will be utilized to break into the Nevada Nuclear City Complex, with an atomic incendiary device, which will obliterate the whole of North America.
