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.
(Pictured at right is Russell Hunter as Lonely).

Episode Quotes |

(The scene is a church where a funeral is taking place)
Minister: Sometimes on occcasions such as this I am asked to say a few words about the person we mourn. Now I did not know David Callan but his friends have provided me with some notes about him. I have been asked to read them to you. His life was sedentary, as it had to be, sedentary and solitary, too. The weak heart which finally took him away from us forbade any physical exertion. He worked patiently - uncomplainingly, as a clerk in a humble employment - and may I say how good it is to see so many of his friends and colleagues here today. Not rich, often ill, he accepted his lot, living a life of quiet usefulness. The law-abiding citizen who refused to succumb to the temptations of these turbulent times ...
Lonely: (mystified) Mr. Callan?
Minister: ... not for him the violent passions and so-called pleasures that do so much to mar the image of our generation. This was a gentle man, always willing to help others, doing good by stealth, a man of peace ...
Lonely: (incredulous) Mr. Callan??!!
Minister: ... a man who can meet his maker as our prayer book says, in the sure and certain hope of resurrection, for gentleness and goodness, though they may be unfashionable, yet still they merit a great and everlasting reward.
Lonely: (wide-eyed) Gor blimey, they're burying the wrong geezer!!
| Ivy: I wish you'd talk about something else.
Lonely: I'm sorry, Auntie Ivy, it's on me mind.
Ivy: Then get if off yer mind! Damn it - bloody morbid the way you go on.
Lonely: I can't 'elp it.
Ivy: Course you can 'elp it! Look, you went round to 'is gaffe, right?
Lonely: Right.
Ivy: The milkman told you 'e was dead, right?
Lonely: Right.
Ivy: Then you went to 'is funeral, all 'is posh mates was there, and you saw the coffin, right?
Lonely: Right.
Ivy: Wot more d'ya want then - 'is life insurance?
Lonely: Oh, no, Ivy ...
Ivy: Right.
Lonely: Look, Ivy, it's not that.
Ivy: Wot the 'ell is it then!?
Lonely: Mr. Callan would 'ave never got ill without tellin' me!
Ivy: Oh, my gawd, you think he can pick and choose when 'es gonna die?
Lonely: No. But there's all that stuff Dr. Parsons said about Callan bein' a man of peace.
Ivy: Gorblimey, you wouldn't expect 'im to say he was a tearaway you met in the nick. You've got to show some respect for the dead.
Lonely: Yeah, but this bloke really meant it.
Ivy: 'Is posh mates must have slipped 'im a few nicker.
Lonely: You can't do that, not wiv a reverent. Ivy ...
Ivy: Wot.
Lonely: D'you know wot I think?
Ivy: No, but let's 'ave it.
Lonely: I think they've buried the wrong geezer!
Ivy: Oh, my gawd.
Lonely: (hesitant) Don't you think I should go and see the law?
Ivy: No, I do not.
Lonely: But Ivy, there's a sergeant I know - 'es not bad for a rozzer - I could talk to 'im...
Ivy: Now you listen to me, Lonely - you stay away from the coppers - you start calling on them and you'll get yourself talked about and me and all!!
| (At Callan's 'grave')
Callan: (coming up behind Lonely, who has flowers) Oy!
(Lonely faints and Callan catches him. Callan reads the inscription on his headstone.)
Callan: "At Rest". That'll be the day, mate! That'll be the day.
