Later, as part of his cover, Gunner is practising with a circus trapeze troop, but suffers amnesia after he falls to the ring below. In the present, an accident causes Gunner to regain his memory; he starts transmitting a code that is received by the department, and ministry official Cromwell sends Steed, Gambit and Purdey into action to locate him. After a frantic chase, Gunner finally confronts the White Rat, now revealed as Cromwell. The two exchange fatal gunshots just as Steed, Gambit and Purdey arrive at the scene. <BR><BR>Patrick Macnee (<B>John Steed</B>), Gareth Hunt (<B>Mike Gambit</B>), Joanna Lumley (<B>Purdey</B>),Ian Hendry (<B>Gunner</B>), Edward Judd (<B>Cromewll</B>), Robert Fleming (<B>Quaintance</B>), Barry Jackson (<B>Cledge</B>), Anthony Sharp (<B>Grant</B>), Jeremy Hawk (<B>Finder</B>), Bernice Stegers (<B>Operator</B>), Jo Kendall (<B>Nurse</B>), Dallas Cavell (<B>Farmer</B>), Sally-Jane Spencer (<B>Mother</B>), Genevieve Allenbury (<B>Bridgit</B>)*, Anita Graham (<B>Helga</B>)* <BR>*Unbilled <BR><BR><B>Directed by James Hill</B> <BR><B>Produced by Albert Fennell and Brian Clemens</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>LWT - 3rd December 1976 <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring John Steed, Mike Gambit and Purdey <BR> <BR> <BR> </BODY> </HTML>
