This is a good story, good action, and has Patrick Mower and Adrienne Corri as guest stars.
A UFO has landed and an alien is on the loose in a pretty deserted part of the English countryside. Deserted except for a country cottage where Cass Fowler (Mower) is plotting to kill his girlfriend Liz Newton 's ( Corri) husband.
They have lured the husband to the cottage, and are ready to shoot him, on the pretext that they thought it was an intruder, or rather Liz thought so, Cass plans to be gone when the police arrive. Unfortunately for them the hunted by SHADO alien turns up and they shoot him instead.
To protect security SHADO have developed an amnesia drug that they administer to people inadvertently mixed up in SHADO's business and know about aliens on Earth.
So Fowler and Newton are given amnesia wiping out the recent 24 hours. But what of their plan to murder her husband?
Straker thinks it's none of SHADO 's business, and he lets them go free. Callous? Controversial? The last scene of Liz Newton visiting her husband's grave makes it clear that they successfully carried out the killing after being set free.
Straker " The public prosecutor would sure have a good case! What would he go for, attempted killing of the husband or murdering an alien? We can't produce the body, and the two accused would have genuine total amnesia. In our line of duty we ran into a triangle, our involvement made it a square. So we erase the last 24 hours and it's back to the triangle"
