One of our best agents, Mrs. Peel. Or rather, he was.

What are the details?

Early this morning at exactly 3 .45 a .m. He was fished out of the tent.

Obviously done.

Obviously. Obviously.

Strand? Shot. With this.

It was fire. From a 16th century gun, medium caliber.

Only a sporting piece.

Used almost exclusively by noblemen in the Elizabethan period.

With that answer, you gain ten points. Your team goes into the lead.

Curiously, our case... Ah, but the problem is very much to date.

Notorious criminals, miscreants, evildoers... Men on the run.

...are disappearing without trace.

Well, it's a fact. On the run, one minute, vanish the next. Someone has

an escape route.

Ah, exactly what we at the Ministry think. Well, there was an escape route,

right. Paxton was on to it. I'll show you the file. Excuse me. At my

Oh, uh, thanks for all your help.

The first one was Karl Blechner, a German financier, ran off with half an

embezzled million. Ah, yes, I've got him. A very greedy face.

Oh, there's an even greedier one.

A French bank robber. He disappeared with a cool million.

Now, there's a face full of avarice.

Reminds me of an auntie of mine. This one needs no introduction.

President B .B. Jinn. Arrived at election APU, took off his hat. Took off

coat. Took off the party funds.

I wonder what did happen to B .B. Jinn. None of these notorious criminals and

evildoers have ever been found.

Nor their ill -gotten gains. And stranger than that, they were last seen

for these shores. Now, most men on the run go to South America. Not these. They

all come in here. Now, there's an evil face, if ever I saw one. That's Tubby

Vincent. He's on our side.

One for Tubby.

Friend Tubby's going to wreck that bell.

Colonel Justino.

Justino, the ex -dictator.

That's gone in with half the treasury.

Another man on the run.

Dino arriving from South America with a black crocodile.

Make contact 12 .30.

Do you think he'll turn up? I hope so.

He could lead us to the escape route, the first link in the chain.

Starting at Maki Daki Court.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Took quite a beating.

Luckily, it repealed you.

I made a turner top.

There.

Like it?

Remarkable, quite remarkable.

Oh, it's not that good. But you can sew.

Known you all this time, never knew that you could sew.

Well, our relationship hasn't been exactly domestic, has it?

Shall we go?

Remember, I followed the escape route and... I?

Follow you.

How do you do?

My name is John... I will take your passport.

Well, I'm very sorry that I haven't got it with me.

Oh!

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Business is brisk, eh?

Ask no questions. You obey implicitly.

I trust that is clearly understood.

Well, your trust is not misplaced.

Excellent.

You have travelled far.

Far enough.

You are now near the end of your road.

Oh.

But from now on, Ganesha is with you.

Ganesha. The elephant god.

Good for human beings, too.

It is the remover of all obstacles.

With its help, you can surmount any barriers.

How do I get the ganesha to shine on me?

What would you give for an escape?

For freedom?

For complete liberty?

Half my kingdom.

Our terms exactly.

You will leave the shop, turn right, and then left past the barber's.

And then?

Oh, in the lap of the guard. You will turn right, then left past the barber's.

One more thing.

Your height was estimated at six foot two. Your weight at 170 pounds, correct?

Correct, but you know... You end up carrying your umbrella in your right

Please continue to do so.

He's here.

And what are you escaping from? Forgive me, but I don't recall your notorious

exploits, Mr. Steed.

I haven't been found out yet, Mr... Titan, Waldo Titan.

You have foresight, Mr. Steve.

I have far more than that.

In currency?

Diamonds. How did you hear of us, Mr. Steve?

A friend of a friend of a friend.

Do you know my terms? 50 % of the... The spoils.

Just so.

My problem is immediate.

Then we will deal with it immediately.

Mine is a unique service, Mr. Steed, and one that has been utilized by many

before you.

Bleschner, Joubert, B .B. Ginn, Colonel Jusino.

He disappeared quite recently, didn't he?

Reports say he's in South America.

Yes, but the reports are wrong.

You can see Colonel Jusino if you wish.

Here? Oh, you'll never be here, Mr. Steed, but you can still see him.

Come over here.

That's Epson, isn't it?

Derby Day, 1904.

A little before my time.

Not necessarily.

And I would have thought before his time, too.

Colonel Jusino.

Well, Mr. T?

I can send a man back through the centuries, back to an era where before

never even existed.

Thank you.

And where better to hide? A place where authority may never pursue you.

Incredible, if it can be done.

Yes, yes, they're all sceptical at first. That's why I insist on this trial

so that you may see for yourself that it is possible.

Well, I always had a hankering for the 18th century.

Gadzooks and Daphne Vitals.

Now, where shall I arrive? Waterloo?

You'll be travelling through time, not distance.

You'll arrive at your point of departure.

This house, in the year 1790.

This house?

Yes. It's been in my family since the 15th century.

Oh, well, then I shall run into your forebears.

1790. Samuel Tyson was alive then.

A philanderer by repute, a great one for the ladies.

How about the others?

Bruno, a sportsman.

Edwin, a duelist.

Herbert, squire of four counties.

How about this chap?

Oh, that's Matthew Tyson.

The black sheep, an inquisitor and torturer. It is said that he invented

rack.

Well, I think I prefer...

Samuel the philanderer. It's far more my line.

Are you ready to find out?

Mm -hmm.

Right. Through the doors, then, if you please.

Oh, I... I will control the rest.

Oh, you may experience a little dizziness at first. That's just

force. Don't worry. It'll soon pass.

An escape in time.

Bon voyage.

Samuel, a philanderer by repute.

No!

No, if Samuel turns, he'll whip me.

Samuel's outside with his latest doxy.

Come on!

Welcome back, Mr. Steed. I take it that you have no further doubt.

What happens now?

Well, you purchase a one -way ticket to the past,

and your troubles of the present are over.

The price?

Well, you said you had diamonds, Mr. Steed. I'm inordinately fond of

Well, I can't put my hands on them right away.

But we can give you time, Mr. Teed. After all, time is our speciality.

You get changed now.

We'll contact you in a day or two.

And you'll have to leave as you arrive, blindfolded.

Forgive me, but it's our precaution against... Against unwelcome intruders.

A woman!

A European agent should have warned us.

I shall have to check with head office. Head office already know they were my

original contact.

Even so, I ought to... I was told to expect an efficient operation. The

of fuss is an example of your efficiency. Wait.

I should have been warned.

You will leave the shop, turn right, then left past the barbers.

You will then make your final contact.

Wait here.

Is it Theo?

Is it Theo?

We're looking for a house, a 15th century house. I don't know which road.

Well, somewhere around here.

Somewhere?

Oh, I was blindfold when I was taken there. Yes, Matthew. Oh, chap.

A house in an area the size of that. Well, blindfold or not, there's some

I do remember.

Hilly terrain.

Hills.

Church clock.

Churches.

But there are dozens of them. Oh, a bridge.

Bridges.

Any more useful information?

Yes, turkeys.

Turkeys? Yeah, there were turkeys about.

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Escaping to the park?

Well, better.

Do you have a particular vintage in mind?

It's a woman's privilege.

The choice is yours.

I really don't care.

As long as it's a good year.

Victorian? I hardly think they'd be amused.

No, perhaps not.

Women then, well, they lacked your independence.

I'm thoroughly emancipated.

Does Elizabethan appeal to you?

Not at all. The men were so tiny.

Yes.

And Matthew was alive then.

I wouldn't want you to meet Matthew Tyson. He was so cruel, especially to

women.

The 1790s. Ah, Georgian. A man at gracious age. Women had their say then,

men appreciated them. And you, Mrs. Peel, you need to be appreciated.

I appreciate your appreciation.

When do I leave?

There's no time like the...

Present?

There you are.

This is it, or very near it.

The farm came from my back, so the house must be over there.

Behind that farm.

It suits you.

Oh, yes.

It suits you.

You'll become one of the beauties of the year, a matching pompadour and... If I

decide to take up permanent residence.

Yes, yes, quite so. Well, the sooner I'm there, the sooner I'll know.

Are we ready?

Through these doors, Mrs Peel.

Through the doors.

By your leave.

Tyson?

Tyson!

Tyson! The woman who was here. She's the one who followed the escape route.

She can't be. She is, I'm certain of it.

How did she get here?

That we must find out.

She's on her way to the 1790s, but we will divert her to another era.

Matthew Titan's here. He will know how to deal with her.

Now, look, old chap.

I know you're laboring under a strain. You're worried about Mrs. Peel.

But if that's a 15th century house to you...

I've already told you. My name is Peel, Mrs. Emma Peel. These strange clothes

you wear.

The devil's work.

Designed to daze and to bewitch a man's senses.

To enslave him to lust.

You should see me 400 years from now.

You're a heretic!

A bawd!

A witch!

to think of some names to call you, too.

Short, up -to -date, highly descriptive names.

Do you know who you're addressing, madam?

Tyson. Matthew Tyson.

You're honored, madam. Oh, benighted. Whatever happened to the gracious manor

1790? How can you hear?

I will know, madam.

We shall loosen your tongue from your very head, if necessary.

We shall purge your secrets from you.

You'll tell us how you came here. You'll recount every tip of your journey.

That would take some time.

Time is something that we have aplenty.

Yes?

Where?

Right. You deal with them.

I'll tell Tyson.

I see you doubt our ability.

Well, we will know, madam.

We will know.

Looking for your associate, Mr. Dean?

Why, how do you call her an associate?

She's an old friend.

A late, lamented friend.

When Matthew finished with her.

Oh, Matthew.

He's the really nasty one, isn't he?

Well.

Well?

Mrs. Peel in the hands of the enemy.

My confederate lying unconscious.

A loaded gun pointed at my neck.

I'm trapped.

Shall we dance?

Well, thank you.

Get down.

How do you do?

How'd you come?

You're a little ahead of your time, aren't you? And your time, Mr. Steed, is

running out.

Oh, come now, Waldo. Do you mind if I call you Waldo? Would you prefer

Edwin, Samuel?

He's very good at them all.

He's Matthew's marvellous.

Oh, I prefer Samuel. He's a lovable little rogue. No, no, no, no. His

much more in character.

I think I see your point.

Oh, right.

That's enough.

Drop it.

Drop it. Drop it.

Drop it.

Drop it!

Game over.

A time machine through there, a few cleverly placed mirrors, some colored

lights. Pass the canister to a beeping gas.

For the trial run, that is. Now, once the loot's been handed over... The game

much more lethal now. How do we get back?

The way I came. Through the 1690s into the 1790s.

Back into the 1960s. Next stop, the moon.

Didn't we get the vote?

Escape route.

Dangerous? Pleasurable. I'm taking you to a party.

I've got a taxi waiting.

Wouldn't it be safer by horse?
