"Dangerous Rendezvous" is the 19th episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Tony Barwick and directed by Brian Burgess, it was first on 9 February 1968 on ATV Midlands.
In this sequel episode to "Crater 101", Spectrum uses the crystal pulsator removed from the Mysterons' lunar outpost to contact the enemy and propose a cessation of hostilities between Earth and Mars.
Following the success of Spectrum's mission to destroy the Mysterons' lunar outpost, the Nash Institute of Technology's Dr Kurnitz has discovered that the extracted crystal power source can be used to communicate with the Mysterons on Mars. Captain Scarlet (voiced by Francis Matthews) escorts Kurnitz to Cloudbase, where an interplanetary transmitter has been built. After the pulsator is integrated with the machine's circuitry, Colonel White (Donald Gray) hails the Mysterons; recalling the Zero-X mission to Mars, he insists that Captain Black's destruction of their city was motivated not by aggression, but fear. White concludes his broadcast with an offer of peace; the Mysterons, however, have vowed to destroy Cloudbase itself at midnight. Hourly sweeps with Mysteron Detectors have so far failed to uncover any suspicious devices.
