Lama Sanji. We've not been introduced.

I am Stanislav. Lieutenant first class of the people's red army.

You have no right to be here, Tibet.

You are invaders.

An exploratory mission.

Soon.

Very soon, we shall take the whole country.

Your experiments here intrigue me.

I wish to know more.

I wish to know more.

I insist that I know more.

I will know.

Be careful with him. Be delicate.

You know rumor has it here is more than a hundred years old.

By circling the area, we can surround and reach the entire population.

Nobody must escape.

Our mission,

Our objective ...

It's hideous and astonishing why someone would attack such a worthy cause.

Show you something even more astonishing, Steed.

Just follow me.

What did he die of?

What do you think? Old age.

I must talk to Mrs. Peel about it.

Hello?

Mrs. Peel?

Steed. what are you up to? - A Russian soldier who died of old age.

Well, everyone does eventually.

But this one decimated half of Berkshire before he went.

Sounds like quite a problem. - Yes and one we may never solve.

Hello, Steed.

Mrs. Peel.

How'd you know it was me.

I read the papers.

You haven't changed. You got a long memory.

- Long happy memories. - Yes.

You live France then.

Yes, we're leaving right away. - Well, good luck Steed.

And I've changed my name.

I'm not Mrs. Peel anymore.

Yes, I know. But you're still Mrs. Peel to me.

Goodbye. - Goodbye, Steed.

Mrs. Peel, huh? Calling in reinforcements.

Reinforcing a hunch. We both picked up this.

So we're all up to France.

For a lot of us. - Viv la ...!

Republic.

But anyway Vive la France.

La France.

I spy with my little eyes. Something beginning with L.

- L? - L.

Ladybirds. - Where?

- We just pass them. - Oh? No, not ladybirds.

- Legs. - Gambit.

- Ladder. - Go for ladder. Very good Steed.

No. It's not that. - Lipstick.

- Impossible. - Oh, why?

My little eye can't possibly see under my little nose.

- In the mirror. - It begins with M.

- I just see the lipstick. - The lipstick's wrong anyway.

Oh, I give up.

So do I. - The Lapin.

Come again.

Lapin. Rabbits. There was some just back there.

Well, there's cheating playing in French. - Oh, I don't know.

She's got a point there I thought we are in France.

Yeah, but unfortunately not in the part ...

... where they've got all the clothes and the shoes.

All the follies.

Actually, why are we in France? - Steed needs to replenish his cellar.

No.

Because of this place.

French filling station.

We should have filled up in England.

It looks, you've been hit by a tornado.

Not at all Mademoiselle.

I'm Colonel Martin, by the way. You are? - Purdey.

Purdey. - Mike Gambit.

Mosieur.

Well, Steed.

It's familiar.

Well, you're in the war. God, old 1941 and all that.

Since you mention it, 1965.

It was a Berkshire village. In 1965, it was attacked by a Russian soldiers.

Russian?

The garage owner survived and ...

... and he's been talking over and over about her Russian soldier.

I thought he was delirious, but ... - I don't think he was delirious.

Why would anyone, Russian whatever attack this place?

I don't know.

Nor do I understand the reason for attacking the hippies.

Hippies? - Three young men.

They died in here. - What were they wearing?

Jeans, the old army surplus jacket.

- Uniforms? - What had once been uniforms, yes.

Is that important?

I don't know.

But the attack in 1965 ...

... the victims were wearing uniforms.

Salvation army.

Let's take a look outside. - Very well.

The garage owner. Did he say how old The Russian was?

20 - 22.

Steed. Why is The Russian's age important?

You're not going to believe this,

but the soldier that made that attack on The Berkshire Village ...

... was 78 years old.

You're right. I'm not gonna believe it.

You will be operating far from home ...

...without a proper base or lines of communication.

So the ammunition must be used sparingly and to maximum effect.

You must concentrate upon military targets.

Only military targets.

There is no trail to follow, but it is my guess ...

... if we are dealing with a military man, he would take to the high ground.

You will be far from base, but not alone.

There will be other units nearby.

You must find them. Find them and unite.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Cease fire.

No resistance.

No sign of returning fire.

Obviously, it looks like they're hiding to make us weaker.

Come!

You drive like an Englishman.

- Well? - On the wrong side of the road.

Okay.

Okay. - I don't understand it.

That chateau, they were attacking ...

... it's empty. Completely empty.

It has been empty for years.

Did you know did Normand are considered ...

... to be the healthiest regions in France owing to the pine scented air?

What a great place around here now.

How odd.

- An x5 pin grenade. - Without the pin.

Hey?

Well, I see what you mean. Sorry.

Come on!

What's so special about an x5 pin grenade anyway?

It's practically a museum piece.

It went down of use when ...

... 1944? - 45.

Sounds as if they've gone.

Sounds.

Are you all right? - Yes, I'm fine. Okay.

Snipper. And that's true.

He got his pinned in.

I don't know. I reckon I could sprint to the tree without he hitting me.

I reckon you could, but what then?

You start climbing that tree and sitting down.

That isn't what's on my mind.

A man run through a wooden door.

- Hey? - My karate master told me that anything is possible.

As long as a man focuses his mind.

As long as he concentrates ...

... anything.

Even a tree.

Gambit that was magnificent. - I was damn silly.

I must have a word with my karate master.

I think, I've dislocated my knee.

Well, you've more than dislocated his neck.

It's broken.

The Russian linguist.

I'm not absolutely sure, but ...

Private Sokolov. Russian army. - No.

That uniform. It's years out of date.

Well, so is he according to this paybook he was born in 1925.

Eh... 1925?

That would make him not a day over 52 years old.

Vassili? - Ivan.

Good to see you again.

It's been. How long since we last met?

- 33 years. - 33 years.

And now we are together again. Comrades in arms.

Come.

Have you learned any news? - Not yet.

I've met no opposition. The countryside seems quiet.

Obviously, the war hasn't reached here yet.

But it will be different, when we get to Paris.

You'll see. - We have other targets first.

Near here?

Here.

And here. - Excellent.

We will join forces and attack them together.

Yes.

Yes, okay. Right away.

The day hasn't been all bad.

They haven't destroyed the champagne.

I thought, you English drank only beer.

Beer?

Beers for the thirst?

The wine. Good wine like this ...

... is for the senses.

I believe you. We are dealing not with the senses.

But the senseless to attack this place.

Perhaps 30 years ago it would have made sense.

But now ... - 30 years ago?

Just after the war. When the cold war was very cold.

Then this chateau was the headquarters of allied security.

Well, we still have a small wall left to fight, don't we?

If we take the right flank ...

... your men infiltrate here along the road. - Captain.

Break come up! We're pulling back. - Pulling back?

No direct confrontation with troops.

Those were our orders. They still are.

Our designated targets are more important.

52 years old quite impossible, Mr. Gambit.

Then his army paybook must be wrong. - It must be, because I most certainly am not

I have examined him thoroughly and that Mr. Gambit ...

... is the body of a young, muscular, powerful man in his twenties.

Why not call me Mike?

Mike. I'm Jeanine. - Jeanine.

You examined him thoroughly.

Every centimeter. - Inch.

We British do things by inches.

Every inch.

And it was perfectly normal.

Very. Very normal.

Hmm ...

One last question.

Well, I have to ... - Apartment B, number twenty-four.

I shall be ready at 8 30. - You'll choose the restaurant?

Apartment B, number twenty-four.

I'm an excellent cook.

But you may choose what we do afterwards.

Yes, I ...

I'm sure, I think of something. - Yes.

You have the look of an imaginative man.

8:30 then.

Any news?

Military units are searching.

Yes.

Yes, of course.

They've moved on heading south. - South?

What's in the south here? - Open country, a few chateaus.

Why aren't you mounting a full-scale military operation colonel,

... with airstrikes and tanks?

So far it seems we are up against only a dozen perhaps two dozen crazy men.

Well, if you can contain it without starting a nationwide panic.

Exactly. If we can contain it.

Yes, just now.

Another attack about eight kilometers north.

Come, move!

I must have phoned to Penrose.

Come!

Down.

I want all alive.

I want him alive.

On foot?

The other way.

Hello, comrade.

Very good.

But not good enough.

I found the way to a man's stomach.

- Oh? - It's not through his heart.

It's incredible.

They used to declare war.

Now, it's like bandits.

My best possessions.

A mess.

Even worse.

In the grand room they shot Napoleon.

Is no more.

What else is new?

I heard nothing on the radio about the invasion.

Took us by surprise. The Russians.

We must be careful with him. He's very old and fragile.

Captain Vassili enlisted in 1941, aged 29.

That makes him ... - 65.

It's incredible. Total degeneration.

The tissues, the skin tone, muscles, all have degenerated with seen a decay.

Instant old age, if you like.

I definitely do not like.

I want to creep gently into the twilight of my years.

Gathering happy memories of life.

And beautiful women as I go.

This apparently young man was in fact very old.

Age kept at day. - Ah! Drugs, hypnosis?

I'm not sure.

Perhaps a combination of both.

There was one thing.

I x-rayed the body and ... - What is it?

I thought it was a silver plate.

If a man has sustained a skull fracture,

... it is not unusual to insert a silver plate but. - But?

Well, it's not the usual shape for such a thing.

It reminds me ... - It reminds you?

Well, it looks.. like a bug.

A bug? - A bugging device.

A small radio transmitter.

It's a terrible sacrilege. It's ...

It's all right. Friends. Allies.

Steed. - Tell me about the filling station.

The filling station that was attacked our reason for coming here.

A lonely isolated french village. And yet ...

Years ago, it was flourishing because of the army base nearby ...

... the airfield.

Yes. U.S air force base.

But it was closed down in 1948.

There was an airfield near Winkfield.

Winkfield?

That little Berkshire Village 12 years ago.

This place.

It once was allied headquarters.

This chateau. - Headquarters of allied security.

All military targets.

Yes, but military targets that are 30 years out of date.

Or perhaps their mission map is also out of date.

That's our prisoner could enlighten us.

A prisoner?

We didn't come empty-handed colonel.

Napoleon is dead.

Well, had to happen.

General, this is John Steed. General Gaspard.

An old and revered soldier.

English.

Where were you?

On the Somme monsieur.

I asked to English battalion to cover my left flank.

They never turned up.

Perhaps they got lost.

Have you looked since?

You make jokes Mr. Steed.

Steed.

There was a sir Everington Steed at Waterloo.

A relative?

You can't hold me entirely responsible for Waterloo general.

Everington Steed was a brilliant soldier.

It is my contention that he taught The Duke of Wellington all he knew.

Really? Well, as a matter of fact he's my great, great ...

Great uncle.

Then I'm privileged monsieur. Privileged.

Captain Vassili.

Vassili?

It can't be. No.

And yet ... - You know this man?

Well, I knew Vassili, but.. years ago, years ago.

I was military atasha in Moscow and ...

No, this couldn't possibly be Vassili.

Unless ...

Yes ...

Vassili had a son.

Your father, I knew your father.

General Gaspard. Did he ever mention me?

He taught me the delights of vodka and caviar.

You shouldn't be unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Your duty is clear. You must escape.

Even if you die in the attempt, try to escape...

He was a good pupil your father, but ...

... I caught him once across the neck.

It's impossible. This can not be Vassili.

What if it were he, he would be older than I am.

It's my duty to escape. - Duty?

As a prisoner of war.

What war? - You mock me.

It's also my duty to destroy the enemy.

And you're most certainly that.

Gambit, we wanted him alive.

Conflict of interest.

I wanted you alive.

Who was he?

I ...

I thought it was Vassili, but how could he be?

30 years or more.

He would be an old man.

Like this?

Someone will pay for this.

You failed. You failed disastrously.

You will be stripped of your office and all privileges.

And then you will be tried for gross negligence.

Enter.

Colonel Stanislav.

You know of course, why I have summoned you.

You may go, but ...

... you will remain under house arrest.

The blame is on their shells.

But the cure is on yours colonel.

A malfunction of deficient equipment and poor design.

All those responsible will be liquidated.

What happened?

It is not the case of what happened colonel,

... but what is happening.

You have heard the news from France? - I take no interest in western affairs.

But this is very much our affair.

You recall the facts.

July 25th 1965, Berkshire, England. - I remember.

This ...

... blipped once.

No more than the hiccup ...

... and one soldier responded.

The whole incident was covered. Forgotten.

One hiccup, one blip.

Three days ago ...

... on the seventh orbit of the 2000 cycle,

... the satellite went wrong a gain.

Not a blip this time, colonel.

A full signal of some 22 minutes duration.

The satellite was over France, at the time.

There has been immediate response.

Several units of our brave commandos are already fighting for their lives.

Just west of Paris.

There are probably more hastening to the cause.

They will all die, naturally.

Die?

My own father. - Yes, colonel.

I am aware that your father is among them, but our country comes first.

Does it not? - Of course.

But why must they die?

Colonel, times have changed.

Yes, yes, I am familiar with your guerilla work in the early days.

But times have changed and attitudes.

We have peace with our western neighbors now.

Peace?

A tenuous peace.

It is imperative that we do not disturb the balance.

It was perhaps meant a sign from the gods.

Perhaps we should take advantage launch a full-scale war.

Gods colnel?. We do not believe in gods now, surely.

Only the great and glorious cause.

Of course, naturally.

What do you want of me?

You infiltrated our secret army.

Now, you must help us to destroy them.

Yes, colonel. Even your own father or else ...

... there are still plenty of empty cells, colonel.

You will leave for our embassy in Paris, right away.

Ambassador Toy. - Colonel.

For one man to bow to the other suggests inequality.

And we are all equal ... - Yes, colonel. I'm sorry.

To say sorry is to admit failure.

I am.. I am pleased to see you. - At the moment perhaps.

But in a few minutes, you may not be.

Have you heard the reports? Russian soldiers fighting in France.

- Last year, it was flying saucers. - They are Russian soldiers

They are fighting brave men. Fighting men.

My own father amongst them.

Your own fath .. Forgive me colonel, if I sit down.

A map of France. - Yes, yes.

You will not believe me. - If you say so colonel, I will believe.

Very well.

In 1945, where were you? - I .. I was ...

... I was in commerce. Until I saw the error of my ways.

I was in the mountains a secret project.

The cold war was at its height. I was a young man then.

Just a lieutenant first class, but young proud ...

... in my prime.

We found the monk both holy man and medical man.

Both medical and holy.

He professed to be 102 years old.

But had the mind and the face of a 30 year old.

So we inquired further.

Lama Sanji

I know it is the destiny for a monk such as yourself to suffer.

But such suffering.

And in the name of what?

So you are 102 years old, huh?

Well, now ask yourself this question Lama.

Do you want to reach 103?

I saw your tsar turn back the mongolian hordes.

Mongolian hordes?

That would be 1854. - 55.

I was not a boy then.

That image ...

... stays with me.

The blush of the sun.

The cry of wounded horses.

And an imperial guard.

A bull of a man. Seven feet at least.

And almost as broad.

There was a legend about such a guard.

It is no legend.

I saw him.

I saw him with these eyes.

These old ...

... young eyes. I saw him.

We inquired further and so we found this sleeping dragon.

That's the end of it, Steed.

What are the newspapers called it?

The red peril?

Well. Perhaps we will never know how or why.

But it's over.

Come, they have shot napoleon, but not his cognac.

To the end of it and the beginning of something else.

The beginning of something else.

Mr. Steed ...

... there is a telephone call for you.

He might need it.

On the wall, please. - Thank you general.

Steed, hello? - Steed. - Yes?

At last, I've tracked you down.

Toy! Is that you Toy? How's the black market in Moscow?

Steed please. Remember everything is monitored.

Well, I'm terribly sorry.

How things Toy? - Terrible. You know I like Paris.

- So I. - In 24 hours, it may be gone.

- Gone? The Arabs buying Paris too?

I'm serrious Steed.

Paris, London, New York, Moscow.

Soon they may just be nothing. Piles of ashes, nothing.

What on earth are you talking about?

World War 3.

Toy. - Steed I ...

I will call you back.

Toy!

What was all that about?

World War 3 - World war 3?

Okay?

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. Purdey?

Martin, seems it isn't all over. Another attack.

Must be an isolated group overlooked by the palace.

- Perhaps. - One way to find out.
