Captain Scarlet versus Captain Black

             FADE IN:

             EXT. CORNISH COAST - DAY

             It is very sunny. Along the

             fields of grass, we see a small

             figure running for his life. He

             isn't too far from the coast -

             the brink of death.

             Captain Blue hides beneath a

             tree stump, using binoculars and

             his cap mike.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Here he goes! Over that rise,

                                              about 300 yards right on my

                                              position. Can you see him,

                                              Captain Ochre?

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE (V.O.)

                                              I see him, Captain Blue, and

                                              he's trapped. There's nothing

                                              on his back, but the sea. And

                                              he'll never make it down the

                                              cliff faces in a sheer drop.

                                              He'll have to give up.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Give up? Don't you believe it,

                                              you've had field experience.

                                              Have you ever known a Mysteron

                                              agent who'd give himself up?

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE (V.O.)

                                              Will you call in the Angel

                                              strike?

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              No. You have the new electro

                                              ray rifle, and this is your

                                              chance to give it a real test.

                                              The Spectrum scientist claimed

                                              it'll be effective on

                                              Mysteronised subjects, and

                                              you're gonna see if you're

                                              right. Can you get a clear

                                              shot of him?

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE (V.O.)

                                              SIG, Captain.

             We reveal Captain Ochre, holding

             a long futuristic rifle, but

             feeling nervous at the same

             time. He positions himself

             behind a rock, and aims at the

             figure.

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE

                                              Range 100... there.

             He fires. The figure trips and

             begins to lose his balance.

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE

                                              Got him!

             The figure screams, as he falls

             off the cliff into the water.

             Ochre reacts in horror to what

             he has done.

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE

                                              Oh no! Oh, that's awful!

                                              Awful! I never thought...

             Blue approaches.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Good shooting, Captain. Hey,

                                              what's the matter? You look

                                              real beat.

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE

                                             (stammers)

                                              The effect of this rifle,

                                              it's... it's frightening.

                                              He... he just wasn't a man

                                              anymore. It just... just...

             He puts the rifle down, feeling

             ashamed.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Captain Ochre, get one fact

                                              very firmly fixed in your

                                              mind. We are not fighting

                                              against men, we're fighting

                                              against Mysterons.

                                              And although they may look

                                              like men, they are completely

                                              inhuman. They have no

                                              feelings, no minds of their

                                              own, they're just puppets.

                                              What you killed was already

                                              dead, he died when the

                                              Mysterons took over. Remember

                                              that, always.

                                              CAPTAIN OCHRE

                                             (realises)

                                              Yes. Yes, you're right,

                                              Captain, it was only that for

                                              a moment...

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Forget it. It's a tough job,

                                              Captain, but it has to be

                                              done. Now, let's get back to

                                              the SPV and report that the

                                              electro-ray rifle works. It'll

                                              be standard equipment in all

                                              patrol and pursuit vehicles,

                                              from now on.

             STACCATO CUT TO:

             EXT. GRAVEYARD - NIGHT

             Captain Black stands underneath

             a damp tree, right by the gates,

             making telepathic communication

             with the Mysterons.

                                              MYSTERON (V.O.)

                                              This is the voice of the

                                              Mysterons. Captain Black,

                                              explain the failure of agent

                                              in Cornwall.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              The Cornish agent was

                                              eliminated by members of

                                              Spectrum. They used a new

                                              weapon. A rifle which can

                                              immediately destroy, even a

                                              subject possessing the power

                                              of the Mysterons.

                                              MYSTERON (V.O.)

                                              The weapon the Earthmen plan

                                              to use against us shall be

                                              turned on them. You will

                                              obtain one of these weapons.

                                              It will be a new tool in our

                                              campaign against Earth.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                             (laughs evilly)

             TITLE: "SPECTRUM IS MAROON"

             STACCATO CUT TO:

             EXT. FARM

             Situated on an open field of the

             countryside. We see a middle

             aged farmer tossing corn at his

             chickens. He puts a few eggs

             inside a basket.

                                              FARMER

                                              There, my dears, easy now. I'm

                                              just gathering your eggs.

             He turns round, noticing Black

             who is wearing his Spectrum

             outfit.

                                              FARMER

                                              Allo then. What can I do for

                                              you, stranger?

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              Spectrum. SPV required,

                                              urgent.

                                              FARMER

                                              Oh, aye. Identification then.

             HUMAN HAND: Black shows his

             Spectrum pass.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              Yeah, and I'm in a hurry.

                                              FARMER

                                              Alright then. That grain

                                              silo's got what you want.

                                             (beat)

                                              Here, hold on a bit? Let's see

                                              that identity again. I

                                              thought...

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              Too slow, Earthman.

             Starting to realise that this is

             all a ruse, he recognises the

             identity of the Mysteron agent.

                                              FARMER

                                              You're Captain Black!

             Black punches him to the ground,

             knocking him unconscious.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              Good. Very good. This should

                                              bring Spectrum to me, but I'll

                                              need protection. I think I

                                              know how...

             We hear engines roaring, coming

             from the silo. Grain scatters

             all over the place, revealing

             the SPV. It drives off, right

             onto the road.

             The farmer watches in horror.

             On the console video screen, we

             see footage of the stolen SPV -

                                              And get me Captain Blue, I'll

                                              speak to him direct.

                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN

                                              tracker's out of commission,

                                              he's in the middle of Bodmin.

                                              COLONEL WHITE

             He flicks a switch and begins to

             speak through the mike.

                                              LIEUTENANT GREEN

                                              Captain Blue, report your

             On Scarlet's monitor - the

             glimpse of the stolen SPV).

                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET

                                              I saw it, Captain.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              And if that wasn't an SPV

             The SPV stops, just nearby the

             Scarlet and Blue exit.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Come on, and bring that rifle.

             Scarlet collects the electro-ray

             rifle.

             Both men walks towards the

             doors.

             HUMAN HAND: Scarlet slides the

             door to the left.

             Only the stolen SPV remains on

             the spot, no sign of Black or

             the children.

                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET

                                              Can't see anyone inside. Could

                                              he have abandoned the vehicle?

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              But why leave it in full

                                              sight? He must have known we'd

                                              be tracking him. Well, there's

                                              only one way to find out. But

                                              just in case, I don't think

                                              we'll go in by the front door.

                                              Get the hover pack.

             Scarlet makes some final

             adjustments to his flying gear.

                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET

                                              Right, that's on. If you

                                              create a diversion, I'll get

                                              up to the roof. There should

                                              be a skylight, since there

                                              aren't any side windows.

                                              SIG, Captain Scarlet. And if

                                              Black's in there, watch out.

                                              He'll have an electro-ray

                                              rifle too, remember?

             Scarlet takes off and ascends

             Black, gripping firmly on the

             children's arms, steps out of

             The shattered glass falls, but

             misses Black and the children.

             He loses grip of Timmy, who then

             makes a run.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              Scarlet! I won't miss this

             Scarlet descends from the broken

             window. He lands and raises both

             his arms.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              You fell for it, Scarlet. This

             on the floor.

                                              That's right. And now, wait it

                                              for it. Point blank range,

                                              Scarlet. I can't miss.

                                              Scarlet. I'm going out of

                                              either. Give me that hover

             He firmly squeezes Betty's

             shoulder.

                                              BETTY

                                              Alright, I've got no choice.

             He hands his hover pack over to

             Black.

                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET

                                              There it is, but you won't get

                                              If only I can get in a shot,

                                              but I can't risk killing

                                              Captain Scarlet, not with this

                                              rifle. I need something open!

             He spots an old motorbike,

             leaning on a disused shed.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              An old motorbike. It'll do

                                              fine for this job.

             On the motorbike, Blue turns to

             the children.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Wait by the SPV, I shouldn't

                                              be long.

                                              TIMMY

                                              Alright.

             He starts up the engines. The

             motorbike roars and departs onto

             the road.

             STACCATO CUT TO:

             EXT. SKY

             Scarlet and Black, both still

             struggling to fly, are

             approaching a dock.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              Nearly there, Scarlet. There's

                                              the... sea.

                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET

                                              I'm hanging on, Black. Staying

                                              with you... till Captain Blue

                                              catches up.

             CUT TO:

             EXT. CLIFF ROAD

             The motorbike approaches the

             dock and screeches to a halt.

             Blue is thinking of what to do

             next.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              If only I can hit the hover

                                              pack, but I've got to risk it!

             He picks up the electro-ray

             rifle and aims at the two

             figures in the sky.

             CUT TO:

             EXT. SKY

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                              Not far... now, Scarlet.

                                              CAPTAIN SCARLET

                                              I'll get you, Black!

             CUT TO:

             EXT. CLIFF ROAD

             Blue fires.

             CUT TO:

             EXT. SKY

             They are both hit. The hover

             pack explodes, causing Scarlet

             to lose grip and fall. Black

             flies out of control.

                                              CAPTAIN BLACK

                                             (screams)

             CUT TO:

             EXT. SEA

             Scarlet crashes into the water.

             A small boat sails along. Blue

             is on the lookout, as a skipper

             steers.

                                              SKIPPER

                                              Er, back here, you said,

                                              Captain?

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Yes, this is where they fell,

                                              alright.

                                              SKIPPER

                                              I'm sorry, Captain, but I

                                              don't see nothing. Maybe er...

             Blue spots Scarlet's uniform.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              There! Look there! That patch

                                              of red.

                                              SKIPPER

                                              Ah, I see him. Nearly there.

             The boat continues moving, then

             stops. Both men drag Scarlet's

             unconscious body onboard.

                                              SKIPPER

                                              Boy, 'tis a man. Been pretty

                                              knocked about.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Captain Scarlet! Don't worry,

                                              he'll survive okay.

                                              SKIPPER

                                              But I don't no sign of t'other

                                              fella. I fear he be drowned

                                              here for certain.

                                              CAPTAIN BLUE

                                              Drowned? I wish I could think

                                              you were right. But, somehow,

                                              I don't think we've seen the

                                              last of Captain Black. Not

                                              yet...

             We focus on Scarlet, all bruised

             but still able to move slightly.
