Episode Summary |
| |
Bishop tells Callan that a British official working in Moscow has been expelled as a spy, despite the fact that he isn't one. In return, Bishop says that they must expell a Russian embassy employee and they must harass one of them until he wants to go back.
The job of harassment is handed to Cross. The man is named Medov and he is the cultural attachee to Moscow with a wife and young daughter. In the end Medov cracks under the strain, and approaches Cross asking for asylum. He says that once you start being harassed you become suspect. While all this is happening, Medov's young daughter attacks Cross who accidentally strikes her over the head with his gun butt.
The girl ends up in a critical condition in hospital with brain damage.

Cross: Anyway, there wasn't a back exit.
Callan: Well invent one, son. And why Lonely?
Cross: There is a taxi at the Section's disposal - your memo, sir.
Callan: Look it's ABC - you use a clown like that when he can't be seen, not at seven o'clock in the morning when he's obvious. You're bloody lucky he was awake .. So the girl saw you?
Cross: Mmm. Well, has anything happened as a result?
Callan: No no, even your flaming cock-ups result in a thundering clap of silence.
Cross: I wasn't aware that something will happen.
Callan: You stick to routine.
Cross: I'm not to touch her.
Callan: You're not to touch her. There are other ways.
Cross: Such as?
Callan: Well why don't you think about it! It's in your file - you're flexible, imaginative ...
Cross: (sarcastically) Will do better next term.
Callan: (equally sarcastic) Provided he keeps away from the little girls! |
