Ep 9. The Carrier

Professor Peter Rose is an idealist, dreaming of a world where all scientists share their secrets regardless of Government. He proposes to sell British secrets to Russia via a man whom he met in Amsterdam. Professor Rose thinks that he is a harmless book-seller, but in fact he is a cold-blooded KGB executioner called Colonel Tamarish.

Callan and Lonely break into Professor Rose's cottage to photograph some of his documents, and everything goes well until Lonely pilfers a shiny silver ornament. Professor Rose notices it is missing and calls in the police. Embarrassingly for Callan, he and Lonely are arrested and Hunter must pull a few strings to have them released.

Colonel Tamaresh arrives in the UK and very quickly realises that the Police are following him. He lures two inexperienced young Officers into Epping Forest and murders both of them, before joining Professor Rose at his cottage.

Callan is sent to kill Tamaresh with as little fuss as possible. He carries out his job leaving a very shaken Professor Rose who will spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.
