Sydney and Nigel are in Thailand to meet a professor who told them he is looking for the urn of Confucius. Instead, they are captured by Masters (Roger R Cross), a mercenary who takes them to Cambodia. Nigel is not pleased he has to jump with a parachute, but Masters is not open for alternatives (you can go out with or without a parachute, your choice!"). Sydney is even less pleased that De Viega (Simon MacCorkindale), the villain we met before in the episode 'Sydney at Ten', is behind the relic hunt. The urn is supposed to be found in the middle of a minefield, and the subterranean vault is expected to collapse any moment. Besides, the air force approaches to bomb the area in 2 hours. Escape is impossible for Sydney and Nigel, as De Viega has abducted their assistant Karen to ensure they stay – until the bombs will fall...
Maybe the most dangerous mission of the whole season, a race against time, a terrific episode. Masters, the landmine expert, is a great guest role, sympathetic even if working for the bad guys.
