Callan, as the new Hunter, tells Bishop that he wants a Mobile Communications Facility, which is his way of describing Lonely behind the wheel of a taxi cab in communication with Headquarters. By this means Callan also manages to put Lonely onto the payroll of the Department.
A man called Kitzlinger contacts Bishop and Callan and tells them that he wants one hundred thousand pounds in return for a list of all the SIS Agents working behind the iron curtain. Callan agrees, as one of the agents' names has been released already, and this man, Bristac, was shot and wounded as he left East Germany.
Toby Meres is back from Washington. He poses as a KGB agent offering a similar amount to Kitzlinger on behalf of the Russians to establish whether Kitzlinger is genuine or not. In the end he and Callan discover that a woman named Myra Kessler is behind the whole scheme, but things are a bit more complicated than this.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Bishop: (Referring to Lonely) The fellow appears to have an IQ of about two and a half.
Callan: He's a late developer.
| Bishop: (Sitting in the taxi behind Lonely who is driving) It's like sitting behind a smouldering rubbish tip.
Callan: He gets a bit nervous in traffic.
| Kitzlinger: (Screaming at Lonely) You stupid, stupid, stinking little taxi cab driver!!!
Lonely: (poring over his London A to Z) Well give us a chance, guvnor, I'm new, you see.
Kitzlinger: Three times you've taken me to the wrong place!!! Three times!!
Lonely: Yeah, but I - we're all right now - oh, I think I've got it this time... yeah, see I - tell you what, care to tip ... ?Well, I got lost, didn't I?
| Callan: (to Meres) Toby, you and I have no reason to like each other - but you are working for me now, and I'm willing to bury the hatchet - but just don't repeat history, son, don't you bury it in my back!
| Bishop: (to Callan) You seem so obsessive about the possibility of a high level leak - it occurred to me that I might be suspect.
Callan: (bland) You are high level, aren't you. You did go on a bit about paying him the money but no, honestly I can say that it didn't cross my mind.
Bishop: Knickers, Callan! I'll tell you something else - if you'd let Kitzlinger sell the KGB that list they'd be down a hundred thousand.
Callan: (angry) Take it out of my wages!
Bishop: You really are a very bad Hunter. You'll have to do much better on your first big job.
