Callan has almost entirely recovered physically from the bullet wound to the lung which Meres gave him, but psychologically he has been damaged. Dr. Rose tells Hunter that Callan's aggression has lessened, that Callan is worryingly mild-mannered, but Hunter wants him back the way he was.

During the five months that he has been in hospital Callan's flat has gone, and Lonely has been sent to prison for stealing. One of the first things which Callan does is to visit Lonely in Brixton where he has been remanded in custody. Callan tells Lonely that he will get him out.

The agent Cross makes his first appearance in this episode, replacing Meres who has been sent to America.

He intends to write his memoirs and have them published. Hunter is extremely worried about the effect that this will have on the Section, and orders Callan to do something about it.

26 :03x04 - A Village Called `G' (May/13/1970)
Liz is late for work and Hunter is so anxious that he puts The Section on Red Alert. Liz is in a red file as she probably knows more about the Section and its workings than anybody else.

Hunter tells Callan a bit about Liz. She is of Polish origin, having escaped the Nazis but being the only person in her village to do so, both her parents dying at the hands of the Nazis. Brought to England, she was adopted by a couple called March. They were killed in a road accident by a drunken driver five years earlier. Liz has no family at all, and her life is rather a solitary one.

Callan soon finds that Liz has been taking shooting lessons, and also that a revolver is missing from The Section. Coinciding with this is the arrival in London of Sabovski, a man who is a wanted war criminal, and who was responsible for the deaths of Liz's parents and their entire village in Poland. Callan discovers that Liz has been dating Cross, which is against the Section's policy.

It is a race against time for Callan and Cross to find Liz before she kills somebody or gets killed herself.
