Season 7 epsiode 20 # 169 Febraury 23, 1973
Summary[]
The mission of the IMF team is to stop a terrorist organization from (what it has been told is) bringing down the United States Goverment.
Plot[]
within 24 hours the IMT must prevent a terrorist organization called "The Pendulum" in "Project Nightfall" in trying to bring down the US Government with the help of traitors within the US government itself. The IMF targets one of the organization members, a brilliant genius/killer by the name of Gunnar Malstrom, by making him believe that an even more powerful terrorist organization, "World Resources Limited," is recruiting him. as the new leader of "The Pendulum" While the IMF was called in to late to stop the latest assassination attempt, at the last second the IMF does succeed in saving the lives of the US General Staff; Malstrom himself is shot, and critically wounded, by his own organization's fellow leaders when he tries to delay "Project Nightfall" in order to investigate "World Resources Limited."
The last scene shows Malstrom in an ambulance, under arrest {and with the apparent arrest and exposure of its leaders); without Malstrom and its leaders "The Pendulum" is kaput.
