Operation Time
THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS; WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN HEAR US,
EARTHMEN. WE WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE OUR REVENGE. YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR ACT OF
AGGRESSION. OUR NEXT ACT OF RETALIATION WILL BE TO KILL TIME. WE WILL KILL TIME.
Dr. Magnus, a celebrated London brain surgeon is killed by Captain Black on his way home, just as the Mysterons threaten to 'kill
time'. Captain Magenta reads in a newspaper that General Tiempo is due to undergo brain surgery in London, and explains to
Colonel White that 'Tiempo' means 'time' in Spanish.
Captain Scarlet, on assignment in London, escorts Tiempo and Dr. Magnus to Cloudbase. Magnus insists on continuing with the
operation and his assistant, Dr. Turner and the cerebral pulsator he requires are brought to Cloudbase. X-rays are taken
beforehand, and Turner realises that Magnus is a Mysteron when one X-ray, where Magnus' hand was in shot shows the whole hand, not
just the bones. Unfortunately, Magnus in not stopped in time, but Dr. Fawn reveals that he has killed Captain Scarlet, not General
Tiempo.
In the confusion, Magnus escapes and locks himself in the generator room. Captain Blue enters through a maintenance hatch and
Magnus ends up being electrocuted, which kills him permanently.
Note: Colonel White makes a reference to Scarlet's healing ability to a full
Control Room, including General Tiempo. Does this mean that the General has been advised of the
situation?
