Original subtitles

Heardy. Larry.

Kitchen. Well, we have that view.

Look.

Easy access to the garage.

Corridor through to the drawing room.

Dining room.

Careful!

Almost trodden the dog.

Dog.

We've got to have a dog.

Great big woofly thing.

He's come bounding out to meet you when you come home.

Regan Wolfley.

Definitely Wolfley.

Won't be like his owner, then.

Cause, to be that, it'd have to be Greyhound.

Slim, sleek, beautiful.

And just a touch of fairy princess.

Hey.

Do you want to see the nursery?

First things first.

Hey, I forgot to give you the good news about my father.

Good news?

Yeah, he's flying back from the Middle East, especially for the wedding.

Larry? Regret to inform you of your father.

Larry?

Nobody leave me!

Larry.

Do you want to tell her?

Sure treat. You arranged it. Only fair that you break the good news.

I had to pull strings.

Like a puppet master.

Ah.

You're very happy.

You're very, very happy.

You're so happy because you're pleased to see me.

Close.

Curdy. You're a good girl.

But we're going to overlook that little flaw in your nature.

Now, we think you should get a few perks out of the job. After all, Gambit, he

went to New York.

Steed got the top of the beach.

Now it's your turn.

Now, how about dinner at the Palace?

Lunch at the Houses of Parliament.

A trip round London? Four or five fashion shows?

Grabs you, eh?

Like even the apple. What do I do?

You join part of the security team for this hour of bigwig.

Oh, he's got his wives with him.

No, the Ministry thought that a woman on the team would be desirable, so I put

you out for it.

It's the best job ever.

He's got so many security men of his own that nobody can get within ten miles of

him. All you've got to do is sit back and enjoy it.

I'd rather not.

Rather not?

Purdy, it's the plum job of the year.

Do you realise how hard Steve had to work to get you assigned to it? I know,

very grateful.

But I don't want to do it.

OK?

Thanks anyway.

I'll give it to that girl in C5.

The one with Buck T.

Purdy! Gambit.

But she... She must be crazy. She's Purdy.

She's a woman.

Squadron Leader, tomorrow's demonstration becomes my pigeon once

Which is why the controller here has given me the floor.

I just want to stress to you how important tomorrow's demonstration is.

Nothing, but nothing, must go wrong.

This final briefing is the last opportunity for anybody to raise any

or doubts.

I'm not talking about security.

WOLAC here has a tight grip on that.

I'm talking about when we're airborne.

Flying faster than sound.

The only margin for error we have is measured in tenths of a second.

So, timing, that's it.

Split second time.

Any questions?

Are you expecting a break in the weather, sir?

We don't know. We're expecting an accurate report at about 15.

Right. Any other questions?

Fine. Well, best of luck for tomorrow.

Thank you, gentlemen.

At first I thought the fire might have been started to try and stop today's

flying demo.

Nothing vital was hit.

In fact, if the guards hadn't been attacked, you might well have thought it

an accident.

No, no, the fire was over there.

That's why we're going in the opposite direction.

If the fire didn't hit anything vital, then... It could have been a diversion.

Then we must search everywhere but the side of the fire.

Commendation. Canteen.

Armory, Stokes.

Armory.

Poodie!

Hello, Larry.

You look great.

So do you.

Are you doing a show here or something? I didn't see any posters.

I don't dance anymore, Larry.

No? No, something quite different.

Birdie.

This is Larry Duma, John Steed.

Hello. How do you do?

Larry is an acquaintance of mine from long ago.

Acquaintance?

We really must go now.

Yes, well, so must I.

You might not have a show to put on, but I do. I must fly.

Literally. Will you be here when I get back?

Yes, I'm sure. I doubt it.

Goodbye, Larry.

Goodbye.

Birdie. Our security man is waiting.

We mustn't keep our security man waiting.

Bravo, Charlie, and Z.

Everything okay?

It could have been forced.

It could have been.

What's in here?

Nothing. Nothing now.

It's where the rockets are normally stored.

But all the rockets are up there now.

Those planes.

We're mounting a full airstrike demonstration.

Missiles, bombers, the lot.

It's going to be a spectacular display.

I sincerely hope not.

I think the rocket store was broken into.

Come on, let's get over to control.

Let's get it right, boys.

Aren't you going to stop it?

There's a whole air display mounted up there.

All I have to go on is a few scratches on a boomer lock.

Shall I stop it because of that?

Would you stop it?

We have to play the rules, remember?

Rules before friendship.

I don't know what you mean.

Doom is up there, isn't it?

Very doom.

We are now on final approach to target.

Target dead ahead, Alpha Tango.

You make the first run with bombs.

I'll come in last from behind cloud cover with the rockets.

Roger. Off you go, then.

Well done, Bombard.

We're getting an 85 % register.

Red Leader?

Doomer? Yes, Control?

If your rocket strike is as good, we shall be well pleased.

We're aiming to do better than that.

We'll be in position for attacking run at 8 minus 15.

Control to Red Leader understood.

And Red Leader?

Make it a nice one, eh?

Understood.

We'll put nice big smiles under those brass hats.

Charlie Victor to control.

Target in sight.

A hit.

A palpable hit, I think. Nice work, Charlie.

Peter one to control.

Target in sight.

Rocket away.

Another one, right on the button.

99%, well done.

Doomer, care to make it 100 %?

I'm planning to make my run now.

Cloud cover dense, but the instrument reading puts me right on target.

Rocket away.

Something's gone wrong, I...

Come in, Red Leader.

Come in, Red Leader.

Come in, Red Leader.

Duma.

Duma, do you read me?

I read you.

What happened?

Shockwave nearly turned me over.

Blew up.

We have no confirmation of that here.

It must have exploded behind the cloud cover.

But you can take my word for it. I saw it go. I saw it detonate.

It blew up, all right.

Look, it's probably a defective fuse. I'm afraid it happens.

I'm sure it does, but not the day after someone's just broken into the armory.

Now, it's pure theory, of course, but then so is sabotage.

Sabotage? Perhaps that rocket was meant to go off before it left the plane.

We've got to check every eventuality.

We?

You include Herdy?

Yes, whenever I can.

Not just now, Jack.

She said rather a day.

I told Wolak to handle security at the base.

Flight Lieutenant Wolak seems like a nice chap.

So does Larry Doomer.

That's why I invited him to my party.

Why, Steed?

Because of Berlin.

It was years ago, the first time I went over the wall.

I picked up three bullets and a fractured thigh.

Traumatic.

I felt like jelly.

As soon as I could walk, they made me go over it again.

The best way to destroy a fear is to face it, you see.

That's some shooting.

Defusing it last night.

That was the tricky bit. I followed my instructions perfectly.

She's safe.

Until I activate it again.

Morgan? Morgan?

You got it, then?

No one even knows it's missing.

You know, when you first came up with this scheme, I thought you were crazy.

But she did it.

Put these up around the perimeter, will you?

Are you leaving?

Yes, there'll be a clean -up. I'm going to a party.

A party? Now?

It's not the party. It's the people, the person I have to meet there.

Ferdie, I shouldn't have brought a present, should I?

Well, this is a party. What's it in aid of? It's an anniversary, General.

Anniversary? Yes, an anniversary of the self -same party Steve held at this time

last year.

No idea what that was for, either.

Berlin. Berlin?

Berlin is a couple of towns in Germany.

Purdy.

Champagne. It's the only thing you can get round here today.

And there are things to eat if you're really hungry.

It's very nice of Thede to ask me.

Yes, Thede's a very friendly man.

Yes, I gathered that.

He likes to play Cupid.

No, not Cupid, Larry.

Not Cupid.

You belong to someone here?

Yes.

A beautiful woman belongs to the world.

Someone once said that.

Curtis, it's only a small world, but General Candley's glass is drying up

day.

You been flying long, Larry?

Oh, since I left school.

In fact, before that, my father taught me.

Was he in the Air Force, too? No, no, no, no, no. He was some kind of

troubleshooter for an oil company. Flew his own plane.

Texas, Alaska, and the Middle East. Sounds quite sharp.

Yes, it was.

He's dead now.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So am I.

And I always will be.

It's a nice party.

Nice people.

Did you clear up that exploding rocket mystery?

No.

But Wollack's working on it.

The rocket detonated here.

Dispersal of fragments would be five miles at least.

Right, sir. They will be fragments. You don't stand much chance of picking up

anything solid.

Gives me a chance to try the ministry's latest gizmo, sir.

A sophisticated type of metal detector.

They say you can tune it into any particular type of metal.

And that rocket, sir, was 80 % your aluminium.

As much as a pinhead.

And I'll find it.

The eye of God.

Well, there's no secret about it.

Not anymore.

No, we're very proud of it.

I administrate the whole thing, you know.

I have to talk to you.

There isn't anything to say. There are a thousand things.

Purdy, I have to tell you.

I'm almost over it.

It's almost finished.

A few more hours and I'll be free.

Ferdie.

Darling, I still love you. Larry. I still want you.

Larry, please.

Everything okay?

Ferdie?

Everything's fine.

Larry and I were just reliving old times.

We haven't been introduced. My name's Mike Gambit, friend of Purdy's.

A close friend.

Yes, the eye of God.

Sees all and tells everything.

Just imagine.

A satellite in the sky no bigger than... than that.

Takes pictures from more than a hundred miles up. Pictures so clear that you can

read the number plate on a car. Now that's good news. Not for those being

on. I like sunbathing au naturel.

Peepers? Who said anything about peepers?

Right now we're assisting archaeologists.

Come on, General.

The fact.

Old earthworks, the site of ancient buildings, they show up like a scar

the country.

Example, yesterday the satellite passed over an area that a particular study

group was interested in.

And we're going to make those pictures available to them.

They'll be able to see every blade of grass in the county of Buckinghamshire.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Are you all right?

Yes, yes, yes, I'm fine, but I have to go. Say thank you to Steve for me. Are

you sure you're all right? Yes, yes, I'm fine, but thank you if you're

concerned.

Well, I'd have concern for a stranger. We're not exactly strangers, are we?

No, we're not.

Bye, Gambit. Goodbye, Steve.

Excellent party, but work here.

Goodbye, Paddy.

Goodbye, General.

How are you feeling?

Like jelly.

Like someone with three bullets and a fractured thigh.

Didn't I see you at the party just now? Mm -hmm. Having trouble? Anything I can

do? Yes.

You can get out of the car nice and slow.

Get in.

Now, look here!

You're a fool, Dumas, a fool. This man is important to me. For pity's sake,

a general.

So what?

There's only hours left, and he can put a stop to it. I've been working for

years on this, and he can foul it all up.

He's going to be missed. Eventually, yes.

Not before we've made him talk.

Reliving the past?

An old friend?

Except that you and he didn't look that, uh, friendly.

Now to tweet out.

Used to go for that type, eh?

Look, Gambit, as you're so curious, I will tell you.

It's none of your business.

No, but this may be.

Commander East, liaison officer to General Canvey.

Hello. Hello.

Canvey's missing.

Eh? He didn't turn up at base, so I thought perhaps he'd become too

about Steed's party.

He knows my parties.

Exactly. So I came over to fetch him.

Found his car on the road.

Abandoned.

Keys are still in the ignition.

I've checked the nearby fields.

Larry Doomer.

Larry.

He left the party about the same time as the General. Maybe he saw something.

It's possible.

I'll drive over and check with... No.

I've got to scale that wall twice.

Remember?

I think there's something you're not telling me.

There's a lot you're not telling me. But I wouldn't dream of asking.

Now, General.

General.

Your satellite, your spy in the sky.

A hundred pictures a second.

Sharp and clear.

And then they passed on to ground control.

Where, General, and when?

Should let me have him.

No, no, no.

He's a soldier. He understands pain.

No, this will do the trick.

Even for a general.

Now.

Tell me again, General, about how they deliver the film.

Dispatch rider.

Dispatch rider, yes.

Bike. Bike.

My... H... HQ.

Yes.

Call Morgan.

She's mine.

She belongs to me.

I knew you'd come.

Then you knew more than I did.

It's madness we're not still together. Larry, this is business.

General Canvey's disappeared.

We found his car. He may have been hijacked.

Well, you left at about the same time as him.

You may have passed him on the road. Did you see him? I tried to contact you.

Called your old address.

I tried so hard to find you again, Purdy.

I know.

Didn't want to be found?

That's right, I didn't want to be found.

General Canvey?

No, no, I didn't see him.

Or if I did, I wasn't aware of it.

Nothing at all.

All right.

Purdy.

If you were to come back to me, I think I'd stop this right now.

Forget all the old wounds.

I'm sorry, Larry.

Call Morgan.

I want that dispatch rider.

Who else knew the route the writer was going to take?

Me and the general. Which explains why I was hijacked. Refresh my memory.

How wide an area does this film cover? Well, that's what I don't understand.

Normally, we have film of Eastern Europe. But this film, it was a favour

some archaeologists.

This film only covered Britain.

Britain? So Canby was hijacked for an aerial photo of our own country.

The satellite must have picked up something so vital that someone was

we shouldn't see it.

But what?

No, he won't know that for another 30 hours when the satellite's in position

transmission again.

Wolak's disappeared.

Flight Lieutenant Wolak, RAF security.

Now, control says that he was going to the detonation area of the rocket.

That'll be about here.

Gambit? I'll check it out.

The eye of God.

What would that see?

What would it photograph?

Right, there you are.

That's what projectors do.

Wind velocity.

You'll have to drift.

Taken into account.

She'll arrive on the button, Dumas.

I promise you.

Us too.

We're so close now. We are so close.

I know why I'm doing this, Dumas.

And Morgan's doing it for money.

What's in it for you?

I'm settling an old score.

Any luck with Harry Domer? He didn't see the general.

What about you?

Nothing, but there seems to be a connection between the air base and the

premature firing of the rocket. Now, Wollack has disappeared.

He was on the track of the rocket.

His insecurity was so good, no one could get within ten miles of him.

Eh? Isn't that what Gambit said when you first offered me this job?

No one could get within ten miles of him.

Oh, Larry, oh, God.

Purdy. What range does this rocket have? More than ten miles?

Larry Doolman.

Seven years ago, Larry's father was shot.

And rightly or wrongly, you hold this man responsible.

He has tried to kill him before.

Come on.

Time to go.

And now the scene in Parliament Square is starting to take on the appearance of

the state occasion.

Guards are already lining the route and the crowd is getting better every

moment. Tie him up.

Tie him?

You mean you're going to leave him here to talk?

I'm finished with England, Kilner.

There's nothing for me here.

Africa!

They're part of Africa where they need good pilots and there's no questions

asked.

Fine.

I don't want any unnecessary killing.

No unnecessary killing.

An hour from now, we're going to wipe out the Houses of Parliament.

Goodbye, General.

Thanks for your help.

And don't feel bad about it.

I'm giving you a ringside seat.

General Canvey.

General... He's drunk.

Drunk?

It'll be quite a while before he makes any sense.

Heard he was right.

Here's his motive.

The motive of a madman.

Not mad.

Obsessed, hurt, terribly hurt, but not mad.

Yes, I see.

You're giving me a ringside seat.

The state visit.

He's due at the House of Parliament within the hour.

There's a map here.

Buckinghamshire.

Unmarked map.

Buckinghamshire. Now, the range of that rocket would be about... More than

adequate.

Must be somewhere about here.

Now, that's what he didn't want us to see.

Well... Buckinghamshire's a big county.

I know.

The drawing room was going to have two bay windows with a love seat in between.

And there was going to be a great big woofly dog.

A dream house.

Just there.

Steed. Please give me five minutes alone with him, just five minutes. No, Purdy,

not this time.

Please, Steed.

Twice over the wall, okay.

Three times, unlucky.

And now the whole motorcade has come to a stop outside the Houses of Parliament.

The Sergeant of the Guard gives the order, and soon the whole retinue will

moving into the House itself.

Now, all I have to do... No!

I must do it.

I have to do it.

Activated.

Countdown has begun.

All right, nothing can stop it now.

Except the target when it makes contact.

All right, let's split.

Come on.

to get clear. No, you go.

I won't leave till I see it on its way.

You did well, Kilner.

Couldn't have done it without you. I'm the best ordnance man outside of

army.

Hey, Dumas.

Hey, we should work together again.

We're a good team.

Come on.

No.

I must see it go.

Anyway, only a few minutes left.

Suit yourself.

I'll be fine what you're looking for, do you know?

I found it.

Then I lost her.

That was a chicken run and you lost.

Eddie!

Don't go away.

It was treason.

The act of a traitor.

Purdy. What she did? She was obeying my direct orders. What? She deliberately...

My orders.

Anyone who says differently is going to have to tangle with me.

Purdy, don't come any closer.

Please!

Larry, I have to stop you.

Nothing can stop it now, Purdy.

It could be defused.

Maybe, but no one's going to get close enough for that.

No one!

Larry, don't make me do it!

Think you could?

Think you will?

Well, go ahead.

You're like killing a part of yourself.

Purdy, darling, you can't kill me. You can't!

I think it'd be a good idea of you to release your safety belt.

Whatever you say.

Now open the door.

Open it.

Jump.

He had a gun pointed right at you, Purdy.

Shoot to kill in those circumstances. Those that are ruled, that's what they

teach us.

He would have used it, Purdy.

He wouldn't have hurt me.

I didn't know that. I still don't know that.

What if it had been me, Purdy?

What would you have done?

I don't know.

God help me.

I don't know.

She's birdie.

She's a woman.
