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.

Episode Quotes
 
Callan: The war is over, Hunter. I've left the Section.
Hunter: What's the Section for, Callan?
Callan: (wearily) Eliminating people, framing, extortion, death - all the jobs that are too dirty for Her Majesty's Security Forces to touch.
Hunter: Precisely, you're my best man and I want you for this.
Callan: You said I was too soft. Well, I'm still soft, Hunter, I still worry about the people I killed. I'm done with you, mate, I'm finished.
Hunter: Nobody's ever finished with me, Callan. You're a killer, it's all you know. After all, what can you chaps do when you leave me - your talents are so specialised - you use a gun, use your fists, open locks - (disparagingly) - unskilled labour!
Callan: Get yourself another labourer!
 
Meres: I thought I was going to keep an eye on Stavros, sir?
Hunter: You're not jealous of Callan, are you Meres?
Meres: I'm - not jealous, I just don't like the man.
 
Callan: Now, come on in Lonely (wincing) - you know you could have got here a bit later and had a bath first ...
Lonely: I do 'ave a bath, Mr. Callan, the way I smell is psychosomatic.
Callan: Blimey! Who the hell taught you a word like that!
Lonely: The doctor - in the Scrubs, 'e says it 'appens when I'm nervous.
Callan: Well, you're nervous now, aren't you?
Lonely: Yes, Mr. Callan
