Winged Assassin
"Winged Assassin" is the second 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 David Lane, it was first broadcast on 6 October 1967 on ATV Midlands. In this episode, Captain Scarlet establishes his indestructibility as Spectrum attempts to prevent the assassination of the Director-General of the United Asian Republic at the hands of the Mysterons.
Due to similarities between the storyline and the September 11 attacks, "Winged Assassin" was postponed when ''Captain Scarlet'' was repeated in the UK on BBC Two in 2001.〔 In 1980, footage from "Winged Assassin" was re-edited and incorporated into the ''Captain Scarlet'' compilation film ''Captain Scarlet vs. the Mysterons''.
==Plot==
The Mysterons vow to assassinate the Director-General of the United Asian Republic, who is currently on a state visit to the United Kingdom. An initial attempt to kill Xian Yoh in his London hotel room is thwarted by the swift action of his bodyguard, Spectrum agent Captain Grey (voice of Paul Maxwell). Maximum security is subsequently imposed at London International Airport, where the Director-General is to board his private jet and leave the country. With the permission of Colonel White (Donald Gray), the Mysteron reconstruction of Captain Scarlet (Francis Matthews), which has assumed the consciousness of the deceased officer and is now effectively "indestructible", returns to active duty; Scarlet departs Cloudbase with Captain Blue (Ed Bishop) to head the operation. Meanwhile, the Mysterons use their powers to trigger mechanical failure on board the airliner Delta-Tango 19, which is destroyed on impact with the Atlantic Ocean. A reconstruction of the aircraft, devoid of crew and passengers, continues on the original flight path from New York to London.
A double of Xian is driven to London Airport in a decoy motorcade. The Director-General himself arrives in Yellow Fox, a Spectrum transporter disguised as an aircraft fuel tanker. When DT19 lands a short distance from Xian's jet, Scarlet is briefly overcome by nausea – unknown to him, forewarning that the Director-General is in danger. Breaking away from the terminal building, DT19 rolls forward, poised to crush the jet. Leaving the Control Tower in their Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle, Scarlet and Blue prepare to fire on DT19's undercarriage, only for SPV's cannon to malfunction. Having activated Blue's ejector seat, Scarlet rams the wheels with the SPV; although the airliner is brought to a stand-still, the SPV collides with a radar bunker and Scarlet is fatally injured. The Director-General's jet takes off, but remains too low to avoid the crippled DT19: it clips the other aircraft's wing and crashes into a field, killing all on board. As Scarlet's body is taken away in an ambulance, Blue assures the airport chief that, despite Spectrum's defeat, Scarlet will return to fight the Mysterons again.
