00:00Tango. Tape running? Tape running. I'm at the crash site now. I've just had a

00:09close look at the bodies of the pilot and the navigator. From the position of

00:13the bodies it looks as if they were running away from something when they

00:15died. The expression on their faces is unmistakable. They were terror-stricken. I

00:20don't get why the vultures died either. There isn't a mark on them. The plane

00:25landed on its belly. I'm going inside now. Stand by. Tango, I want you to take every

00:32possible precaution. Against what? I can't tell you. Difficult.

00:55There's no sign of any technical trouble. They're not out of fuel. Maybe they had his

01:11hand storm. I'm gonna have a look at the cargo now.

01:25Tango? Yes. Are you all right? Taking pictures. The cargo is composed entirely of

01:47cylinders. Colored red, green, and pink. Some of them broke away on impact. I'll give you

01:54the markings. Green, ZPL-19. Red, ZPJ-27. And the pink.

02:08Hang on.

02:24Green, ZPL-18.

02:40Green, ZPL-19.

02:45Green, ZPL-19.

02:47Green, ZPL-17.

02:51Tango, are you receiving?

03:04Tango.

03:07Tango.

03:10Are you sure you still have the correct setting?

03:12Of course I'm sure.

03:21Tango, come in, Tango.

03:38Tango, are you receiving me?

03:45Miss Frequency.

03:46Scrambler on.

03:51Scrambler on.

03:53Gauntlet.

03:57Gauntlet.

04:00Gauntlet.

04:02Gauntlet, problem.

04:03What happened?

04:05We've lost the ferret.

04:16Tango, are you receiving me?

04:21Come in, Tango.

04:26Tango?

04:28He's coming through.

04:31Stand by, Gauntlet.

04:32He's coming through.

04:35Tango?

04:35Are you all right?

04:38Near enough.

04:40It was gas.

04:42Some kind of nerve gas.

04:43Sends you mad.

04:45Did you get much of it?

04:46No.

04:47Hold on, I'm on to London.

04:48I'll be back to you in a moment.

04:51Gauntlet?

04:52Receiving you.

04:53The cargo was some form of gas.

04:57Confirms what we thought.

04:58Is Quiller all right?

05:00More or less.

05:01He only got a whiff of it.

05:02Good.

05:03Right, here are your instructions.

05:07Tango?

05:08Tango.

05:10Tango listening.

05:12Here are your instructions.

05:14Keep clear of the plane for the moment.

05:17Search the bodies.

05:19Take their papers and return to your camp.

05:21Clear.

05:23What's in the plane?

05:24Pretty deadly form of gas.

05:26As suspected.

05:28You knew?

05:29Why wasn't I told?

05:31We don't really know what it is.

05:35Now repeat.

05:36Keep clear for the moment.

05:38We'll arrange an airdrop to you.

05:41After nightfall.

05:43What are you sending?

05:44I'll give you that at the final briefing.

05:46After the drop.

05:48Clear.

05:48Lowen, Lowen.

05:50Send some more water.

05:51It's a furnace out here.

05:53Will do.

05:54Oh, my God.

06:24Oh, my God.

06:54Oh, my God.

06:57Can't go.

07:07Can't go.

07:08Receiving you.

07:10You took your time. Anything wrong?

07:12No. No.

07:14You?

07:15Nothing much.

07:16Apart from the fact that someone's got a spotter plane out.

07:18They're moving in fast.

07:20Hopefully not fast enough. Where's Lohman?

07:22He's gone to arrange the drop with Chirac.

07:24He's arranged it for as near as he can make it to 20 hundred hours.

07:2820 hundred hours, check.

07:30Right. Over and out.

07:32No, not yet.

07:33Sorry?

07:34I feel like a chat.

07:35There's no one else around here.

07:36Have you fixed things so that he can hear me?

07:42Tango, Gauntlet calling. Do you receive?

07:45Quiller.

07:46Yes, I can hear him.

07:50Go ahead, Gauntlet.

07:52Quiller.

07:53Listen very carefully.

07:55Time is running critically short.

07:57It is vital that Tango, Victor, and her cargo be destroyed.

08:02How fast can they send me a new time fuse?

08:05They can't.

08:07There isn't time.

08:09As you gather, the opposition are closing in on you.

08:12It is vital that you complete your operation tonight.

08:16Has the gas dispersed?

08:18I'll have to charge that.

08:19I don't know what you talk about.

08:24I haven't dropped anyone into death hurt.

08:28You're asking me to blow myself up with the plane?

08:31I'm not asking anything, Uncle Quiller.

08:34That time fuse is broken.

08:37This nerve gas was manufactured in England?

08:39Yes.

08:40How did the opposition get it?

08:42Before the government's ban on nerve gas,

08:45three men working on the chemical plant

08:47that had been producing gas under government contract

08:49turned their minds to private profit.

08:53Now, the nerve gas now on Tango, Victor,

08:56was bought from them for a considerable fortune.

09:00Then it's not the British government's fault.

09:02That's not the point.

09:03It was made here.

09:05And for our enemies, that's more than enough.

09:07It's no good talking politics to a dying man.

09:11Go on, Angus.

09:12Sell it to me.

09:13Sell me my own execution.

09:15The expendability of a shadow executive

09:18is part of his contract.

09:21So Lohman reminded me yesterday.

09:26I'm sorry, Quiller,

09:28but I must report that you achieved your objective,

09:31that your mission was successful.

09:35A man in my trade could get himself a worse epitaph.

09:38Right.

09:44I'll set it up.

09:45I'll set it up.

10:08A man in my trade which has to be anievous horror
