"Fire at Rig 15" is the 20th episode of the Supermarionation television series ''Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons''. It was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on on ATV Midlands, was written by Bryan Cooper and directed by Ken Turner. In this episode, the Mysterons target the oil refinery which provides all the fuel for Spectrum's vehicles in an attempt the immobilise the whole organisation. ==Plot== In the Middle East desert, the Mysterons sabotage an oil drill at Rig 15 by opening a safety valve, releasing a jet of oil which quickly ignites and turns Rig 15 into an inferno. The nearby refinery, Bensheba, is the one source of fuel for the Spectrum Organisation's vehicles. In view of a Mysteron threat to immobilise Spectrum, Colonel White fears that the enemy will attack this fuel supply and dispatches Captains Scarlet and Blue to Rig 15. On arrival, Scarlet and Blue learn from the controller, Kinley, and his assistant, Hansen, that an explosives expert, Jason Smith, has been called in to "blow out" the fire using a carefully placed charge. However, while Smith positions the device, Captain Black, observing from a distance, uses the Mysteron influence to kill the specialist, who is then reconstructed. The device detonates and the fire is extinguished according to plan. That night, Black instructs Smith's duplicate to leave in his truck and use his explosives to destroy the Bensheba refinery. The body of the original Smith is discovered the following morning and Scarlet realises that the expert has been taken over by the Mysterons. He requisitions a Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle and pursues Smith as he speeds down a highway leading to Bensheba. Cutting through the desert to catch up with his target, he manages to force Smith off the highway before he reaches the refinery. Smith crashes into a sand dune and his truck explodes, but the SPV collides with a set of oil tanks, fatally injuring Scarlet. Scarlet's body is returned to Cloudbase for his recovery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fire at Rig 15」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
