What a lousy business this is.

You know General Al Wyatt,

Counter-intelligence.

Charlie Kray, FBI.

Gentlemen, Captain Matt Hunter.

Despite his youth,

one of the best agents I ever had.

Why was Larry running around without

any secrets for his protection?

He refused it. We warned him

of the danger 100 times.

- What about Pentangle?

- Sit down.

Excuse me, Charlie.

It's some kind of secret society

with extreme right-wing views.

Survival of the fittest, that kind of stuff.

Their symbol is a five-pointed star,

a pentangle.

We believe that each point of the star

represents a member

of the society's inner sanctum.

- We've been after them for years.

- How do they operate?

Buried deep inside big business

disguised as honest traders.

But they're into every dirty

business in the book. You name it.

- Anything to raise money.

- What do they have against Larry?

A couple of years ago,

a Pentangle corporation

tried to grab 10,000 acres of public

parkland to build a chemical factory.

- Larry stopped them.

- We don't have a clue who they are.

Could be any number

of off-shore corporations

hiding behind battalions

of top-class lawyers.

We're pretty certain that the five key

members are high-profile businessmen

with top-level connections in Washington.

- There must be a way to flush 'em out.

- There is.

- They have a weakness.

- Oh, yeah, what's that?

- They have a hunting club.

- A what?

A hunting club.

Except they don't hunt animals.

- They hunt men.

- How do you know that?

Because we've found dozens

of mangled bodies in the bayous.

All of them branded

with the sign of the pentangle.

So, Pentangle put all these guys in the

bayous just so they can hunt 'em down?

Exactly. You see, in order to be a member

you have to pit your skills against the

toughest, most resilient men available.

If we could put an agent in there who

could beat them at their own game...

- No way.

- I only want you to identify Pentangle.

- The Agency'd do the dirty work.

- I can't risk it.

You're the only man who can pull it off.

My mind is made up.

All I can do is protect Larry's family.

Move 'em to a ranch with a guard.

Take care of them till things cool down.

That's it.

All right, Matthew. Thank you.

(man) Well, it's a mess, boys.

The first time our organisation

has failed in its purpose.

And you are directly to blame, Parker.

That's crazy, Elliot. I assigned our

best men. It should've been simple.

Andrew, everybody

makes mistakes. It's all right.

This idiot jumps out of the crowd

and fouled up the whole thing.

Idiot? That idiot killed

four of our best men, Parker.

Let's have a look.

- Is this him?

- Yes, Elliot.

James Booth

James Booth (born David Geeves); (19 December 1927 – 11 August 2005) was an English film, stage and television actor and screenwriter. Though considered handsome enough to play leading roles, and versatile enough to play a wide variety of character parts, Booth naturally projected a shifty, wolfish, or unpredictable quality that led inevitably to villainous roles and comedy, usually with a cockney flavour. He is probably best known for his role as Private Henry Hook in Zulu. more…
