             FADE IN:
 
             EXT. SIBERIAN ROCKET BASE - DAY
 
             It is heavily snowing. A
             futuristic rocket (more advanced
             than Thunderbird 3) is preparing
             for launch, near a set of
             buildings and towers.
 
                                              SIBERIA BASE CONTROL (V.O.)
                                              Navigational satellite blast
                                              off minus ten. Final countdown
                                              begins. This is Siberia Base
                                              Control handing over to Sub
                                              Station 2 for launch
                                              procedure. All personnel clear
                                              area.
 
             We hear multiple sirens -
             numerous vehicles, from patrol
             cars to trucks, drive away from
             the scene as far as possible.
 
             CUT TO:
 
 
 
             INT. SUB-STATION 2
 
             A controller is at the console,
             about to contact Siberia Base
             Control through the mike.
             Multiples panels and terminals
             are installed all over the
             walls, and near the windows.
 
                                              CONTROLLER 1
                                              Sub-Station 2 to Base,
                                              acknowledged. We are A-OK.
                                              Preparing for countdown in
                                              five minutes. All incoming
                                              aircraft will require pending
                                              delays on landing, until
                                              further notice.
 
             The door slowly opens, making a
             creaking sound. The controller
             turns round.
 
                                              CONTROLLER 1
                                              Hello? Did I just hear
                                              something?
 
             He resumes working.
 
             HUMAN HAND: A man, wearing black
             gloves, holds a pistol. He fires
             at the controller, killing him.
 
             We reveal the assassin. It's
             Captain Black.
 
             The green Mysteron rings slide
             over the controller who lies on
             the ground. We reveal the
             reconstructed version, now
             sitting down and in charge.
 
                                              CAPTAIN BLACK
                                              This is Captain Black,
                                              relaying instructions from the
                                              Mysterons. You know what you
                                              must do.

             Lieutenant Green pilots the
             aircraft at the wheel. Colonel
             White uses his binoculars to
             look out for Siberia Base.
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE
                                              There's the rocket base, dead
                                              ahead, Lieutenant Green.
                                              Contact Sub-Station 2 for
                                              permission to land. Though I
                                              think they'll ask us to
                                              circle. By my calculations,
                                              they should be firing the
                                              navigational satellite any

                                              Yes, sir.
 
             He flicks a switch on the
             console.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              Calling Siberia Sub-Station
                                              2... Sub-Station 2, this is
                                              Spectrum Transporter 14A
                                              requesting permission to land.
                                              Colonel White aboard,
                                              reporting for Probe Omega pre
                                              launch security conference.
 
                                              CONTROLLER 1 (V.O.)

                                              - repeat - clear to land.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              Acknowledged. Spectrum is
                                              Green.
 
             He turns to the window to view
             the rocket.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              Say, there's the satellite
                                              rocket now, just over to
                                              starboard. Looks impressive.
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE
                                              It certainly does, but not
                                              half so impressive as the
                                              Probe Omega vehicle. See it?
                                              Way over there, about a mile
                                              beyond the main control
                                              buildings.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              It's gigantic, the biggest
                                              space probe man's ever built.
                                              Is it right that 90% of its
                                              bulk is fuel tanks?
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE
                                              Correct. And it'll need every
                                              drop to reach the exploration
                                              area way out of the Mexican
                                              Hat galaxy. It's unmanned, of
                                              course. Entirely remote
                                              controlled once it gets off

                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              Hence the navigational
                                              satellite. That's the box of
                                              tricks that will guide Big
                                              Brother on its journey.
 
             Orange flames and billowing
             smoke start clouding the jet. It
             is ignition vapour, coming from
             the rocket.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              Colonel! Look at the base of
                                              the satellite rocket! Ignition
                                              vapour!
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE
                                              You're right, but control said
                                              the shot was delayed.
 
             Green struggles to control the
             wheel.
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE
                                              Peel off, Lieutenant!
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              The blast wave! We're out of

                                              Oh dear. Your Colonel is a
                                              lucky man, Lieutenant, and so

             Volochek, Russian, late 50s,
             bearded, enters in a hurry.
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              Excuse me, I have some most
                                              important news that must be
                                              passed to Spectrum
                                              immediately.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              Have you discovered why we
                                              where given clearance to land,
                                              Professor Volochek?
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              The launch of the Probe Omega
                                              satellite has been postponed.
                                              We've discovered the
                                              controller of Sub-Station 2,
                                              Lieutenant. One of my best
                                              men. The poor fellow is dead,
                                              murdered. Someone else gave
                                              you that clearance. Someone
                                              who deliberately tried to kill
                                              the Colonel and yourself.
 
             Green reacts in surprise. He
             hesitates to even respond.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE
                                              I think I got a lead on how
                                              the Mysterons might make their
                                              attempt to destroy the Moon. I
                                              needn't tell you what will
                                              happen if they succeed, Paul.
                                              Violent earthquakes, tidal
                                              waves, perhaps even deviation
                                              of the world into a new and
                                              dangerous solar orbit. Now
                                              just what would it take to
                                              destroy the Moon? A bomb more
                                              powerful than anything man has
                                              yet devised_ Or perhaps a
                                              rocket.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE
                                              Exactly. Now it's my opinion
                                              that the attempt on the lives
                                              of Colonel White and
                                              Lieutenant Green was made with
                                              the objective of
                                              retrometabolising them into
                                              Mysteron agents. They would
                                              have been the Mysteron means
                                              of aiming the rocket direct at
                                              the Moon.

             Scarlet, in full winter gear and
             covered in melting snow, walks
             through the entrance. He is
             greeted by Volochek.
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              Welcome to the Siberian Rocket
                                              Base, Captain Scarlet.
                                              Volochek, professor in charge
                                              of the Project Omega project.
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              Glad to know you, Professor.
 
             They both stand on a moving
             walkway. It travels along the
             hall, covered with a dome full
             of snow on top.
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              This moving walkway will take
                                              us directly to Colonel White's
                                              sick room. He's recovering,
                                              thank goodness. Lieutenant
                                              Green is with him.
 
             The walkway stops. Scarlet and
             Volochek walk towards the door
             leading into -

             - where White lies in his
             hospital bed. The room has a
             narrower perimeter than the
             medical centre. Green sits next
             to him, wearing his Spectrum
             outfit.
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE
                                              Come in, Captain Scarlet. It's
                                              good to see you.
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              And you, sir. Lieutenant
                                              Green.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              Eh... How do you feel,
                                              Captain?
 
             Scarlet touches his forehead. He
             could be having one of those
             senses when a Mysteron is
             nearby.
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              I, er... I feel fine. Both you
                                              and the Colonel are clear.
 
             Volochek seems puzzled by
             Scarlet's actions.
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              Gentlemen, I don't quite
                                              understand.
 
                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN
                                              It was a sort of demonstration
                                              for you, Professor. You see,
                                              though the Colonel and I were
                                              apparently unharmed by our
                                              crash, it could have been that
                                              we had been killed and brought
                                              back to life under Mysteron
                                              control. We know we weren't,
                                              but Captain Scarlet has proved
                                              it conclusively.
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE
                                              You see, Professor, Captain
                                              Scarlet reacts to the presence
                                              of Mysteron agents. Headache,
                                              roaring in the ears for
                                              example. This is why he is
                                              here.
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              Oh, please excuse me.
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              If the Mysterons take over
                                              anyone of the personnel on
                                              this base, Professor, then
                                              I'll know instantly.

                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              It certainly is. Now,
                                              Professor, we must assume that
                                              the Mysterons will attempt to
                                              influence the course of the
                                              rocket on blast-off. Who

                                              devil, at least one of them.
                                              Corrigan, can you spare a

                                              anything happens to him, or
                                              this woman Banda, let me know
                                              at once. A accident, anything.

                                              right on schedule, and she'll

                                              late, the satellite's already
                                              in position. It will take away
                                              everything that you created,
                                              Earthman!
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              Don't be too confident.
 
             Scarlet tries to reach for
             Black's gun. Black grabs it and
             struggles to point at Scarlet.
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              Back... back! Into the main
                                              terminals, Mysteron scum!
 
             Scarlet touches his forehead. He
             can hear the Mysteron voice
             surrounding him.
 
                                              MYSTERON (V.O.)
                                              Captain Scarlet. This is the
                                              voice of the Mysterons. You
                                              have troubled us for too long.
                                              Now you will be destroyed.
 
             Black fires his pistol, Scarlet
             is hit; he grimaces and falls on
             his knees.
 
                                              CAPTAIN BLACK
                                              You will never win, Scarlet.
                                              Earth will finally meet its
                                              fate, and humanity will soon
                                              cease to exist. The Mysterons
                                              will become the dominant
                                              species of the universe!
 
             Scarlet weakly points his gun.
             He struggles to talk.
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                              I have got... no choice... but
                                              to end your game. So long,
                                              Conrad.
 
                                              CAPTAIN BLACK
                                              No! No!!
 
             He fires, hitting Black's heart.
             Black hits the terminals and is
             electrocuted. The entire room
             explodes into flames.
 
             Scarlet falls to the ground. He
             is hit by the explosions.
 
             CUT TO:
 
 
 
             EXT. SUB-STATION 2
 
             BOOM! The building explodes.
             Fire and debris everywhere.
 
             CUT TO:
 
 
 
             INT. CONTROL ROOM
 
             Volochek and the controller
             monitor the launch. The former
             speaks into a mike.
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              Over to you, Colonel White.
 
                                              COLONEL WHITE (V.O.)
                                              Twenty seconds to zero...
                                              10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5...
                                              4... 3... 2... 1... 0!
 
             CUT TO:
 
 
 
             EXT. SIBERIAN ROCKET BASE
 
             The rocket launches. It ascends
             without any fault.

                                              CONTROLLER 2
                                              Probe Omega launched, sir.
                                              Exit altitude A-OK, all
                                              systems are go.
 
                                              PROFESSOR VOLOCHEK
                                              Then we can only cross our
                                              fingers that Captain Scarlet
                                              has managed to cancel the
                                              influence of the navigational
                                              satellite. I'm afraid that,
                                              whatever happens, Probe Omega
                                              will go nowhere near its
                                              predetermined destination. The
                                              exploration of the Mexican Hat
                                              galaxy will have to begin
                                              again from scratch. I just
                                              wonder what the World
                                              Government is going to say...
 
             HUMAN HAND: Volochek crosses his
             fingers.
 
             STACCATO CUT TO:
 
 
 
             INT. WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL -
             NIGHT
 
             It is full of delegates, world
             leaders, with Spectrum officers
             and Angels (at the very front),
             who have all taken their seats.
             Captain Scarlet is
             indestructible once again,
             sitting between Captain Blue and
             Colonel White. The World
             President stands behind a
             podium, about to address his
             audience.
 
                                              WORLD PRESIDENT
                                              Ladies and Gentlemen, in
                                              concluding this emergency
                                              meeting of the World Security
                                              Council, I can express my
                                              regret that the Mysteron
                                              agent, Captain Black, was able
                                              to make his escape. However, I
                                              can congratulate Captain
                                              Scarlet on his magnificent
                                              effort.
 
             They all stand in ovation.
             Scarlet remains seated.
 
                                              WORLD PRESIDENT
                                              I can also reveal that by a
                                              strange twist of fate, the
                                              eventual course of Probe Omega
                                              terminated on Mars. The blast
                                              of the collision was noted by
                                              every observatory on Earth,
                                              and it is expert opinion that
                                              thanks to Spectrum, the voice
                                              of the Mysterons will be
                                              silent - for some considerable
                                              time to come.
 
             We focus on Scarlet, who is
             beyond proud of the speech.
 
                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET
                                             (slow and dramatic)
