Operation Pimlico / 皮姆利科行动
Operation Pimlico / 皮姆利科行动 is the emergency escape plan designed for [[OlegGordievsky|Oleg Gordievsky]] in 80.间谍与叛徒：恕我直言，007的故事弱爆了（上）. The plan used recognition signals in Moscow, an emergency street signal, diplomatic vehicles, and a northern border route to give MI6 / British Secret Intelligence Service / 军情六处 a way to extract its source if the KGB / 克格勃 closed in.
The episode treats Pimlico as trust infrastructure. Gordievsky could keep supplying intelligence only if he believed he would not be abandoned after taking mortal risk. The plan therefore belongs to Spy Source Protection / 间谍线人保护 as much as to escape logistics.
81.间谍与叛徒：恕我直言，007的故事弱爆了（下） completes the operation. After [[AldrichAmes|Aldrich Ames]]’s betrayal and KGB suspicion, Gordievsky signals for extraction, memorizes the final plan from a hidden insert, and reaches the rendezvous after risky detours through Moscow, Leningrad, and Vyborg. Two British diplomatic cars then carry him toward Finland, where border dogs, household objects, children, noise, diplomatic confidence, and luck all matter.
The episode makes Pimlico an Extraction Promise Ethics / 撤离承诺伦理 case. [[VeronicaPrice|Veronica Price]] keeps the plan alive when rescue seems nearly impossible, and [[MargaretThatcher|Margaret Thatcher]] approves action despite diplomatic risk. The result is successful source protection, but not a clean ending: family separation, divorce, protected life, and continued Russian threat remain part of the operation’s cost.
