1 :01x01 - A Magnum for Schneider (Feb/04/1967)
Callan is contacted by Hunter, for whom he had once worked in British Intelligence as a hired killer until he lost his nerve. His first job is to eliminate a gunrunner by the name of Schneider, who has been smuggling Magnum pistols and other armaments for terrorists.

Callan decides that it would be poetic justice to use a Magnum pistol to murder Schneider, and requests Lonely to get one for him.

He suspects, but is not absolutely sure whether he can trust Hunter not to betray him after he has carried out the killing.

2 :01x02 - The Good Ones are All Dead (Jul/08/1967)
Callan is badgered by Hunter into kidnapping a suspected Nazi War Criminal who is wanted by the Israelis. If taken alive, Strauss, who is known as Stavros, will be tried under Israeli law and British Intelligence will be given some good information on the Egyptians by the Israelis. Hunter tells Callan that he (Callan) is in a red file, and that he will be killed if he refuses to work for the Section.

Callan gets a job as a book keeper with Stavros, and soon finds enough evidence to convince himself that Stavros is indeed Strauss, even though he has already been identified by a Jew who was a victim of the holocaust.

Hunter arranges things so that Callan is publicly insulted by Lord Borrowdale. A former colleague of Callan's, Beverly, approaches Callan with a proposal to cheat during a card game with Lord Borrowdale, and Callan, still smarting from the insult, agrees.

Lord Borrowdale loses heavily and invites both Callan and Beverly to his country home so that he can have another chance at winning back his losses.

Callan, as ever, is suspicious and after breaking into Beverly's house discovers that Lord Borrowdale is a corrupt man who would sell his country down the drain given the right circumstances. Hunter is aware of this, and also knows that Lord Borrowdale has some information which could seriously damage Anglo/American relations, and is preparing to use this information by selling it to the Russians.

Lord Borrowdale loses heavily at cards yet again and ends up owing Callan a lot of money. Eventually there is a show down between Callan and Lord Borrowdale and the peer is killed. Callan makes sure that Beverly is the police's number one suspect.

The KGB have helped him to escape from prison, and he is after the secret formula for a poisonous nerve gas which he had stolen prior to his arrest. He has left it with his girlfriend and her mother, who are innocent parties to the affair.

Lonely gets involved in the affair and Meres beats him up, so that he ends up in hospital. Callan gets his own back on Meres by informing Pollock that Meres is not the Russian agent he purports to be, but a British one in disguise. Pollock bashes Meres, then Callan moves in and arrests him.
