'Jeremy Mason' ( Richard Lynch ), master of disguise, escapes from a maximum security prison by impersonating a UNIT agent. KARTEL hires him to steal a top secret laser satellite system known as 'Seeker'. The only lead UNIT has to Mason's whereabouts is his ex-girlfriend, a nightclub dancer. Sloane and Torque keep her under watch. They don't have to wait long for him to appear. Mason is after revenge on Sloane for putting him behind bars for three months, and KARTEL want 'Seeker' to assassinate a visiting African Premier.
Lynch specialised in creepy villains, and this B.W. Sandefur-scripted episode gives him a decent role. One wishes it were a two-parter as the concept of 'Seeker' is particularly interesting. Unlike the laser satellite seen in the Bond film 'Diamonds Are Forever', 'Seeker' can destroy designated targets by homing in on magnetic discs placed on the victim's person. 'Seeker' will eliminate you no matter where in the world you are. I'd like to have seen more of 'Seeker' in action.
Sloane's gadgets - a shaving foam spray that doubles as a mini-flame thrower.
One moment found its way into the opening titles - Sloane falls on the bonnet of a moving car and breaks the windscreen. Originally produced under the title 'Master Of Disguise'.
