Original subtitles

Of course, Mr. Harrison.

The material is used to have the highest standard. No expense has been spared.

And, um, as you can see, the design is perfect for the use of

maximum security.

Only one entrance, um, secluded site.

Don't you agree?

What about Remek?

Remek?

Well, he's, he's naturally in the center of the complex, in, in, in control.

He needs clean air and lots of it. And temperature control.

All done, Mr. Meryton.

Fully air -conditioned. Central heating.

Fair play circuits.

Oh, nothing but the best.

Hmm.

Are you down?

Oh, yes, sir. And everything's working?

Oh, everything.

What do you think?

That's up to Renner.

Why don't you ask him?

Have you heard that name?

I don't think so, no.

Who is he?

I don't know.

In fact, I know almost nothing about him.

Is he who you expected when I arrived?

No.

I was waiting for a man who does know him, who has been working with him.

One of our people?

Mm -hmm.

Trantha.

Oh, Trantha.

Not like him to be late.

That's what worries me.

Strong, sneaky suspicion.

And he's run into trouble.

I think I'll just check the time locks on the main gate. Make sure they're

accurate.

I shouldn't bother.

Remak's very thorough.

He'd have let us know if anything was wrong.

Rather be safe than sorry.

Oh, please don't.

Not thinking of leaving us.

Aye, Mr. Trancer.

Just going to check something.

What's going on?

You said, what are you doing?

I've just come from Remak. He came up with a very interesting piece of

information.

Trancer here's a traitor.

He's working for them.

You positive?

Remak is.

He doesn't make mistakes.

How much have you told them?

Everything.

My department knows the whole setup.

He's lying.

Remick said he gave no information at all.

That's all right, then, isn't it?

All we have to do is make sure that he can't talk.

One thing certainly runs free to speed.

Get the car.

Tara, first of all, I want you to contact Ed. When do you make it?

Oh, it's about 11 .30. Now, if you contact Ed... No, I mean precisely what

Oh, I see.

Precisely. Three, two, one.

11 .30.

Now.

Hooray.

A pink and purple pass?

Hmm. Valid from exactly 11 .30 today for one whole week.

I'm on holiday.

You didn't tell me.

I thought you might use your influence to stop its issue.

Now, would I do a thing like that?

Of course.

But now neither you or Mother or anyone can stop me.

I'm going to where there's sun and sea and sand.

You don't mind, do you? Of course not. You deserve a holiday. When are you

going? Now.

Enjoy every moment of it.

Send me a postcard.

Every hour on the hour.

Steed, can you set up a meeting of all operatives?

About Remak?

Yes.

And it looks as though you'll have to add another name to your missing list.

Trancer.

I'll be there in less than an hour.

Trump, sir.

Trump,

sir.

Was it Ramek?

Try and tell me about him.

Ramek.

Forbes Blakely, a word with you.

Bad business, feed.

I agree.

Was Transfer able to give you anything?

No, he just mentioned Remak and killer.

And he said something that did bother me.

Polly.

Polly. Mean anything to you?

Parrots.

A flock of killer parrots.

Polly, Polly.

Poly, poly, poly.

Poly.

Thene. I beg your pardon?

Polythene.

Polythene. Poly?

Polythene. Plastic.

Links. Connections.

Now, there's something I'd like you to look into.

The matter of a recently discovered body.

I think I should stay close to Remek. No, wait. This cadaver was discovered in

rather odd circumstances.

How odd?

In a graveyard.

Well, I'm very odd about that. Ah, but this one was wrapped in plastic and tied

up with ribbon.

Now, that is very interesting.

I don't think you've met Lady Diana Forbes Blakely, John Steed. Oh, how do

do, Lady Diana Forbes Blakely? How do you do?

Don't!

Blakely will be accompanying you on this case. She's standing in for Miss King.

Oh. That's splendid. Of course, active duty is a little different from training

school. Forbes Blakeney has just joined us from special service.

Has she now?

Yes. She's just spent 18 months undercover organizing our agents in the

Hemisphere. Eastern Hemisphere.

Well, hardly the Eastern Hemisphere. Just the Orient.

The Orient.

Maybe you can teach me a thing or two.

I doubt that very much.

I would be delighted if you both pay attention to the matter in hand.

The address. Thank you very much.

Right, shall we go?

Where to?

To the little disused graveyard to the north of Farmer's Green where a strange

material body wakes. Wrapped up in polythene.

Hello down there.

You must be Steve.

That's right. Name's Clark, forensic department.

How do you do, Lady Diana Forbes Blakeney? How do you do?

How'd he die?

In alphabetical order, he was clubbed, poisoned, shot, bited, stabbed,

and suffocated.

And his eardrums are damaged.

His neck's broken as well.

Take the next left.

Should bring us pretty close to the body disposal area.

We will get there before they find him.

Stupid mistake.

Yes, but I blame myself entirely.

They might do his part of the job perfectly.

It's just possible they haven't found the watch yet.

The baffling thing about it is that he looks so... Tidy.

Yes. Body appears to have been washed, sterilized, dry -cleaned.

Packaged. Quite.

Even the bullet holes in his jacket have been invisibly mended.

Found it in his pocket.

To Arthur Wilkington, with the respect of all his colleagues.

Well, at least we know who he was.

Well,

it's too late.

Who's the body now?

Pity.

Found the watch?

Yes.

I should have told Riemann about the inscription.

Now they know who Wilkington is.

Yeah.

Better get back to the house.

Make sure everything's tidy.

You better get over to his house, find out what he did.

Right. But you know what worries me? Why would anybody want to kill him in so

many different ways?

Practice? Yes, well, leaving a clue like this hardly makes for the perfect

murder. It maybe makes the perfect victim.

I don't know. It's all very odd, isn't it, Mrs. Steed?

Call me Steed, Lady Forbes -Bakeney.

I'll call you Forbes.

Well, where are you going to start, Steed?

I think I'll buy him some ribbons, and if you wouldn't mind.

All right, you already said, check his house.

Good afternoon, sir.

I'm Freddy, packager extraordinary.

Splendid. I'm looking for some ribbon.

Any particular color?

Pink. I'd like to match that.

Oh, pink.

Gorgeous. You know, I have a passion for pinks myself.

Lovely shade.

The murderer thought so, too.

Murder?

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me, sir. Not now, Gillers. I'm busy. I have a lead on Remax, sir.

Oh, good.

How strong is this lead? Seems good. I've arranged to meet a contact at 4 .30

who says he knows Remag.

Ah, but does he know where we can find him?

He wouldn't say.

He seems very nervous about it.

He's, um, asked me to meet him in an old village mock -up left behind by some

bankrupt film company, a place near Starbridge.

Well, it's worth a try, I suppose.

But be careful and check with me as soon as you get anything concrete.

Yes, sir.

Anything? No, nothing but final demands.

Oh. Perhaps he was killed by a consortium of crazed creditors.

Oh, Steed telephoned. He's got a lead. He'll pick you up at five o 'clock.

Did he say what sort of... What is it?

Remak. So Wilkington knew about Remak. You'd better tell Steed about this.

Right.

I hope Gillers doesn't stick his neck out too far.

You want to know about Remak?

Where can I find him?

You'll have to go to... Was

it Remak?

Tell me, was it Remak?

Lower Stormington.

Go to the pirate.

Lower Stormington.

Tyson!

Is this where the pink ribbon came from? No, but this is where we'll find out

where it came from. Freddie knows all there is to know about ribbons. Who's

Freddie? Freddie?

Freddie? Freddie?

He said he'd be here at five.

Is this Freddie a thin, dapper little man in a frilly shirt?

That's him.

And did he have a pink ribbon around his neck? No, the last time I saw him, he

was alive.

Remick?

Paxton sent me.

You know where he is?

Interesting taste, huh?

Just a factory.

You mean that's where he is? In the factory?

Not a bad day for instead.

Looks as though Remek is doing nicely.

Not a minute wasted.

Well, he's to one good agent.

A dead one.

Killers? Afraid so.

How was it done?

He was crushed to death.

Whoever did it must have had superhuman strength.

Incidentally, notice the same eardrum damage as with the other chap.

Death must have been instantaneous.

Fully dry cleaned.

Poor Gillard.

He was following up a lead to Remak. Look where it got him.

I think there's no clue as to where he's been.

He's been to the cleaners.

There isn't a speck of dust on him.

He's even had a manicure.

Yes, Steve, what is it?

Pity. He was our only lead to Remak. Excuse me, sir.

Do you have anything to go on?

Not with Gillis. What do you suggest we do?

Excuse me, sir.

Not now, Calvin.

Sorry, Steve.

Not at all.

I think it's worth taking another look at Wilkington's place, seeing as how he

was killed by Remak.

Very well. Excuse me, sir, but I really must... Calvin, I'm busy.

Write it down.

Oh, yes, sir.

It might be useful...

Checking on his neighbours, you know, find out where he came from, what he was

up to. Thank you, sir.

You'll let me know if any other leads come up.

Calvin!

Calvin!

Steve, send Forbes Blakeney to Wilkington's and you get over and look

young Calvin. He's gone to meet Remick at...

Yeah. Remax.

You came about Remax. Look, I'll get help.

No, no, no.

It's no good. It's too late.

I'll give it.

Remax.

Is he there?

No.

You go to the pirate.

Pirate? Lower Stormington.

Stormington, yes.

Say I'll send you. Yes.

I've done the department a fine service, old chap.

You won't be forgotten.

You've done the department a fine service, old chap.

Thank you.

Where is he?

I'm afraid they got him.

Nasty business, this.

Remark.

Where can I find him?

I know you saw the place there.

Is it?

I'm afraid I've lost Calvin.

Well, he hasn't checked in here yet.

What a devil of a business.

Any word from Forbes, Blakeney?

No. Let's hope she has more luck at Wilkington's. I beg your pardon?

I said, let's hope she has more luck at Wilkington's.

Sorry, I thought you were somebody else.

Well, have you gone stark raving mad?

Do forgive me, but what are you doing here?

Well, I came to collect my partner's papers.

So Wilkington was your partner?

Who the devil are you?

I've been with the family.

I see.

Well, I'm Ralph Bleach.

I gather you know about Wilkie's death.

Yeah, that's why I'm here.

Do you by any chance know what kind of work he was doing?

No, I don't. He went all mysterious about six months ago, working on some

project somewhere he wouldn't talk about. I was hoping to find something

his papers.

Yeah, well, by the look of things, we're not the only ones.

He was some sort of electronic expert, wasn't he? Yeah, best in his field.

Automation, computer systems, that sort of thing.

What did he say where he was working? No, he didn't.

Though he did phone me once from a place called Lower Storpington.

Lower Storpington? Yes, from a pub, as a matter of fact.

Yeah, well, go on.

Well, for a friend of the family, you're very inquisitive.

No, I just hate mysteries.

Well, go on. You were going to say something.

It's nothing.

I must get off.

Well, I'm sorry I don't help you.

It's a tragic business.

Splendid idea, taking tea like this.

Listening to the people go by.

Very much.

From

now

on, No one follows any lead on Remak. Except for you.

Precisely. Three agents gone.

And all we've got is a fake dead body and a meeting place.

Put him on. Plus Remak.

Calvin should have been ready for trouble. Instead he goes and gets

killed. Garrotted by a man with tremendous strength.

Thank you, Clark. Send in your report.

We've got to stop it, Reed.

We've got to stop this man Remak before he destroys our entire organisation.

find a new starting place.

There might be someone, someone who knows about Remak.

The master, Remak. Remak.

What a pity you can't come out and join us.

I don't think it approved the alcohol.

It's a human weakness. He has none of those.

Indeed, he's a paragon of the virtuous.

Don't be alarmed, gentlemen.

Would you sit down, please?

I'm Ralph Bleach.

You don't know my name, but I know yours.

And Remick's, too. Please.

What do you want?

A drink first.

You don't mind, do you?

Nice place you have here.

What do you know about Remick?

Only that he's a killer and that he's in the building.

Good health.

I was Wilkington's partner, you know.

After his demise...

I started to check on his project.

And? I garnered a few facts, made a few assumptions, and reached a conclusion.

Such as?

That I shall feel very proud to be associated with you as an equal partner.

You want to join us?

Yes.

Of course, there's no hurry to discuss the level of my financial participation.

Blackmail?

Precisely. I've always admired audacity, Mr. Bleach.

But you realize, of course, there is a third partner.

Mr. Remick, you mean? Quite.

He'd have to be convinced.

Yes.

Oh, where is he?

I'll arrange for you to meet him.

Grant, mother, make no contact with Remick until you check with me first.

Understood?

Davis, mother... The next one to go in is me. I make the next contact.

I'd like to go with you.

Agreed.

Lawson, mother.

I have a lead on Remak.

That's one thing you must know first.

The contact faked his own death.

I'm on my way to meet the contact at the old film set.

No. Steed will go in first.

We'll report on my return.

That is all. This is a recorded message.

Mother, I have a lead on Remak.

Let's hope we get there in time.

FACT 10!

Remake. It's too... I don't know.

No time.

I'm finished, old man.

You must warn Brinstead.

He knows all about Remake.

I have to wait here for someone.

It'll be too late then.

Warn Brinstead now.

The pirate.

Lower.

Lower.

Stop him, son.

Lawson! Lawson!

He should have been here by now.

Lawson?

Why didn't he wait?

Why can't any of them wait?

With Remek's compliments.

Where was he? The usual place, the graveyard.

No sign of how they got there or where they'd been. That man's arrogance is

insufferable. And it's always the same system. Bodies in the same place. There

must be a reason for that.

Yeah. First of all, the rendezvous at the old film set.

The contact faced his own death.

He's got to go somewhere else. Into the trap. Place where Remek can process his

victims. Kill, sterilize, and package them. All ready for delivery.

Lawson died with some sharp instrument that punctured his heart. Calvin

Garrotti, Gillers crushed. Where's your pattern?

But they were all trained agents.

Yet they died instantly without any form of struggle.

They were executed.

I gave orders that no one should follow up any more leads. That's right, but

he's not one of ours.

Ralph Bleach. The partner.

Yeah, but why was he going to follow up a lead to Rema? Maybe he didn't need to

follow a lead.

Right, of course.

You're making to play a chord.

Dorpington. Lower Dorpington. The pub.

I'll be in touch.

Come on.

What's the devil doing here?

Does mother know you're out?

Rather a hot lead on Remek.

Wasn't time to call in, but I'm sure my contact was genuine.

And died proving it, no doubt.

How on earth did you know?

Intuition.

You just stay here until you're contacted.

Don't follow us, we'll follow you.

Two tomato juices with everything.

How did they find it?

It's a bit tricky.

We're not ready for them yet. We can't pass Chattel on while they're around.

No.

We'll just have to lose them, won't we?

Gosh, Bea.

Doesn't look the fancy frills type to me.

He was a man at Wilkington's place. The one that was burning the ribbon.

He disappeared very efficiently.

Yes, you know, I've got a funny feeling we've been misled.

Funny you should say that.

A left and a right. Nice shooting.

One of what he's like with Kraut.

Which reminds me.

Napoleon.

Special reserve.

Well, we can't stay here all night.

No, what with Chattel sitting in the bar waiting for Remick. What are you doing?

Ancient diary lentil trick.

Now, if I can get his attention away from you for just a minute.

You think you can surprise him?

Surprise him? I'll give him the shock of his life.

Great. Give me just five minutes.

Sayonara.

Chattel's not here.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I can't think of a better way of delivering bodies.

Especially when those bodies show signs of being dropped.

You take the coach, I'll take the factory.

Dummies!

Subject's collar size, 15 and a half.

Steed. How did you get in?

Agent's manual, section three, paragraph four. Always go in through a skylight.

There's a gun mouth at the end of that passage on some sort of automatic sight.

Now, how to convince Remak that I'm dead.

Lovely cleaning job.

And the bullet holes have been invisibly mended.

remote electromagnetic agent killer.

Vremak, a computer.

Programmed for murder.

Shall we put him out of his misery?

Let me do it.

Don't touch anything.

You'll leave him alone.

One million pounds he cost me.

To mass -produce murder.

Decimate your intelligence service, Steed.

The perfect killer.

Do you know the trouble with computers is that they have no loyalty.

They'll take orders from anybody.

What do you mean?

CPSL.

Murderers!

Killers!

I can't amend that last order.

Do you hear me?

Now listen to me.

I feel you, Remax!

You're very damn real!

A souvenir.

Weather magnificent, Mitsu.

Tara.

Bushu here. Tara.

Having a lovely time. Tara. Tara.

Tara.

Tara! I'm back.

Welcome. Thank you.

My goodness me, you look fit. Did you have a good time?

Marvellous. Lots of sun and sea and sand. And how were you?

I survived.

Speaking of survival, I have a present for you. Oh, you really?

I shouldn't have done.

Go on, open it.

That's what I've always wanted.

Do you really like it?

That's beautiful.

They're very difficult to come by.

Oh, don't open it.

What

is

it?

It's an inflatable dinghy.

This thing's getting bigger than both of us. Do you think we ought to abandon

ship?

How do we deflate it?

Well, the instructions are in the little box.
