"Traitor" is the 29th episode of ''Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons'', a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Tony Barwick and directed by Alan Perry, it was first broadcast on 23 April 1968 on ATV Midlands. In this episode, following a series of Spectrum hovercraft crashes in the Australian Outback, the Mysterons claim that there is a traitor within the organisation. ==Plot== Transmitting to Earth, the Mysterons declare that there is a traitor within the Spectrum Organisation. Following a series of unexplained Spectrum Hovercraft crashes in the Australian desert, Colonel White (Donald Gray) dispatches Captains Scarlet (Francis Matthews) and Blue (Ed Bishop) to Koala Base where, he believes, the vehicles are being sabotaged by a double agent. Scarlet and Blue travel to the Outback ostensibly to deliver lectures to the cadet hovercraft pilots. One, Phil Machin, is suspected by his patrol partner, Joe Johnson, and the base commander, Major Stone, to be the traitor; Machin, however, publicly calls Scarlet's loyalty into question after Blue relates how the officer was under Mysteron control during the kidnap of the World President. A fire in Scarlet and Blue's quarters, seemingly started deliberately, appears to leave Machin's guilt in little doubt. The next day, while Scarlet and Blue accompany Johnson and Machin in another hovercraft, the vehicle again goes out of control. Machin openly accuses Scarlet and threatens him with a gun, but is disarmed when a sudden bump throws the weapon from his hand. All four men – including Scarlet, who successfully removes the hovercraft's control unit – jump to safety before the vehicle crashes into a rock face and explodes. Analysis of the unit reveals the cause of the accidents, as well as Spectrum's "traitor", to be none other than a faulty valve in the hovercraft hydraulics. Spectrum's metallurgists are baffled by the component, whose molecular structure appears to have been altered – presumably by the Mysterons. 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「Traitor (Captain Scarlet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
