While on assignment in East Germany Callan is captured and sent to Russia by the KGB where he is ruthlessly interrogated.
In the meantime, the Department have put it around that Callan has died and they stage a funeral and arrange a burial with a coffin and a real body in it. The only people who know that Callan is still alive are Bishop and Hunter.
Lonely refuses to believe that Callan has died and starts making a nuisance of himself, but this is soon handled by the ruthless agent Cross. Cross and Stafford are told by Bishop to go and collect the KGB agent Richmond. It is Bishop who really values Callan and arranges for an exchange between Richmond and Callan. Hunter tells Callan that he did not want to lose Richmond, in effect telling Callan that he considers him expendible.
