(guitar music)

- Alright Joe, the transfer is complete.

- Do you think it will work, Dad?

- It's hard to say Joe,

but we'll know the answer by the morning.

Well let's get up to bed.

- Okay Dad.

- And Joe, don't forget these.

(gentle music)

(harp music)

(fire crackling)

(clock ticking)

Monte Carlo.

- Monte Carlo.

- Must win the race.

- Must win the race.

- The road's like glass.

- The road's like glass.

- Look out!

- Look out!

(harp music)

- So you see Weston I reckon

World Intelligence London is obsolete.

- Obsolete?

- I know you've done some good work

and I'm sure you and some of your men can be absorbed.

- Absorbed?

- The Army can handle this.

Military intelligence is second to none.

More efficient.

- More efficient!?

- Weston you've got a bad habit there

repeating everything I say.

It's the sign of a sloppy mind.

- [Weston] Sloppy mind?

- Well there you go again.

- Well you look here, General.

You walk into my office and put forward the idea

that the Army are going to take over.

- Weston I'm just stating the obvious.

This tinpot outfit can't match the manpower

and resources of the Army.

- The Army absorbs this department over my dead body.

- That's strong talk Weston.

- I'm ready to back it up with action.

- That's what I figured.

I've never backed down from a fight.

- Neither have I.

- Alright Mr. Weston.

I think I know a way we can settle our little difference,

if you agree.

- Try me.

- Good.

Here's what we do.

(triumphant music)

- And you agreed Chief?

- Yes I agreed.

That General Tempest needs taking down a peg or two.

- I don't seriously think the Army

could take over WIN London.

- No but the General does have a lot of influential friends.

He could make trouble.

- And if we win the General will forget this takeover idea?

- If we win?

Where's your confidence, Sam?

When we win.

- I'm told you're the best driver in this man's army.

So you Private Clooney are our trump card.

- Yes General sir.

That's what I am if in you say so.

- Now Clooney for the purposes of this exercise,

I'm promoting you to major.

What do you say?

- But sir you.

- Be quiet Lieutenant.

Clooney?

- Major.

Well General I just don't know what to say.

- Well there's no need to say anything Major.

You'd better go and get the U87 ready.

- Yes sir.

- Dismissed major.

- You really want to win don't you General?

- Want to?

We're going to Lieutenant.

(birds chirping)

- Let me get this straight.

We, that is World Intelligence,

have got ourselves into a race with the Army?

- That's it.

London to Monte Carlo.

- Sounds like an extended paper chase to me.

- It'll be a test of initiative Professor.

As well as speed and endurance.

- It could be great fun Mr. Weston.

- Fun Joe?

We should never have allowed ourselves

to be talked into this.

- Sam how can we lose with a team like ours?

- Now just exactly who is going to make up our team?

- Why you and I, Professor,

and our trump card,

last year's winner of the Monte Carlo Rally.

Joe 90.

Get it?

(gentle music)

- Will Weston keep his side of the bargain, General?

- Yes if he loses he'll sign a recommendation

that military intelligence take over WIN London.

- Have we any idea what type of vehicle they'll be using?

- I don't know,

but you can bet it will be no match for ours.

Eh Major Clooney?

- If in you say so sir.

- Monte Carlo here we come.

I'm really quite excited about it all.

- So am I Dad.

- I wish Sam could show a bit more interest.

- Where is Sam?

- He's meeting us at the starting point.

(gentle music)

- Well what do you make of all this, Colonel?

- When General Tempest is around nothing surprises me.

- I know what you mean.

Well I think we've worked out a route

that will be a fair test for both men and vehicles.

- Yes and talking of contestants,

here comes the General now.

(truck engine)

- Well looks as though we're first here.

- Good morning sir.

This is Sam Loover, World Intelligence.

- Loover your boss hasn't thrown in the towel

already has he?

- I shouldn't think so General.

- Then where is he?

- I believe you'll find this is him now sir.

(car engine)

- Well I'll be.

- Hello General.

- Hey Weston, what's that you've got there?

- May I introduce my team?

Professor McClaine and his son, Joe.

- You've got to be joking.

You call that boy a genuine member of World Intelligence.

- He is.

He's WIN's most special agent.

Where's your team?

- Right there.

Lieutenant Burns and Clooney.

Major Clooney.

- If he's a major, why's he wearing a private's uniform?

- I promoted him this morning.

- Okay General if that's the way you want it.

- That's the way I want it.

No holds barred.

- Eh gentlemen please.

The navigators have been given sealed envelopes.

Your route and the information you must stop

and find on the way is in them.

Stick to the rules of this contest

and the first team in Monte Carlo with the correct answers

to the questions wins.

Are you ready captains?

- Ready.

- All set.

- Alright get to your vehicles.

- A helijet will pick us up in 30 minutes.

Take us to Monte Carlo to see the finish.

- Fine well I'll get them started.

(upbeat music)

- Well this is it.

- Stand by Clooney.

(triumphant music)

(engines running)

- Yeehaw.

Being a major sure beats guard duty sir.

- Just concentrate on your driving, Clooney.

(horn honking)

- Get over.

Let me pass.

Road hog.

(honking)

- Take it easy Professor.

There's a long way to go

and we've still got our trump card, eh Joe?

- Yes Mr. Weston.

(gentle music)

(engine running)

- Is this the bridge Lieutenant?

- Yes sir.

We have to find the year it was built.

The date will probably be carved in the stonework somewhere.

- Okay Clooney get moving.

- Sir?

- Go and find the date on that bridge.

Well even you should be able to manage that.

- Yes General sir.

(playful music)

- We seem to have lost the opposition sir.

- Yeah they may have taken the wrong road back there

where I had the signpost switched.

No holds barred, remember?

(trumpet blaring)

- I think we've taken the wrong road, Joe.

- Yes I've checked the map and there's only one explanation.

The road sign must have been switched around.

- That two timing General.

We'll lose too many miles if we have to go back.

- There's no need.

We can turn off along here and pick up the coast road.

- What about the first question?

The age of the bridge?

- That's the Oldchester Bridge built 1890.

It's a well known rally point.

- That's my boy.

Joe when we gave you the brain pattern

of a Monte Carlo winner, we just made sure we'd win.

(engine running)

- Well.

- 1890 would you believe it?

- What kept you?

- I got talkin' to this guy.

A fisherman.

He told me the date and all about the bridge.

Very interesting.

- Clooney, this is supposed to be a race,

not a social outing.

Get in and drive.

(engine running)

- They must have driven straight off the edge of the cliff.

- Why that Weston, son of a gun.

That heap of iron must be able to fly.

- What are we going to do sir?

- Well as I told the opposition, no holds barred.

Get to the airport.

Monte Carlo here we come.

(playful music)

- Well we seem to have gotten a good lead.

We'll take a 10 minute lead and change drivers.

- I checked on the time of today's high tide at Callie's

as we came through.

We'll find the answer to the next question

at the old Ruin Abbey at Fontey.

(engine running)

- Where in tarnation did they come from?

- Were they surprised to see us.

Did you see their faces?

- That twisting, scheming.

- Steady Mr. Weston.

No holds barred, remember?

(engine running)

- Keep your foot down, Clooney.

They've started after us.

That's right, the high tide at Callie.

0508 hours.

Thank you.

- Isn't that cheating General?

Calling up the Army weather station?

- Son you're a major now.

How do you ever expect to make general

thinking things like that?

- I see that sir.

I think.

Do you suppose I ever will make general, General?

- Clooney when you win this race you'll stay major

for about two minutes.

That's a promise.

- Why thank you sir.

(playful music)

- Is this where we turn off Joe?

- Yes a shortcut right to the Abbey.

According to my calculations we should save about 10 km.

(engine running)

(gentle music)

(tires screeching)

- They must be miles back down the road.

There was no sign of them from the top of that ridge.

- Good.

Okay let's go find the clue.

- Alright Clooney move.

(engine running)

- Kind of spooky in here General.

- Alright Clooney the clue's supposed to be in a niche

below the Crosses of David.

- [Clooney] How about there?

- That could be right Clooney.

Check inside.

- You mean put my head in?

- Here stand aside.

(trumpet music)

- What have you found sir?

Is that the clue?

- Yes Clooney now that didn't take me too long to find.

- What does it say, General?

- It says you're an imbecile Clooney.

- Yes sir.

(engine running)

- We'll be in the mountains soon

and on the other side Monte Carlo.

- Great.

With you driving now Joe 90, we're going to make it.

- [Professor] Are you insinuating?

- No, no, no, no.

Have a cigar Professor.

- We wasted an hour at those ruins.

Just wait until I see Weston.

Putting the clue halfway up a 20 foot wall.

- They must have a good lead sir.

- I think they may find they get delayed.

- I'm sorry we have our orders.

- They wouldn't come from a General Tempest, by any chance?

- I'm sorry that is classified information.

As soon as we are satisfied you are not carrying explosives,

you cannot continue.

- That two timing, twisting, scheming, cheating, four star.

- Talking of the General, here he comes now.

- Just wait for that greasy smile.

- Weston what seems to be the trouble here?

- As if you didn't know.

Call your goons off, Tempest.

- I don't quite follow you sir.

- The roadblock supposedly looking for explosives.

- Well there must be some mistake.

Lieutenant.

- Oui General?

- I can vouch for my friends here.

Remove the roadblock.

Oui General.

- Well it seems it's going to be a closer finish

than I anticipated.

- We can still beat you if you play it straight.

- Why not?

I have the U87, the fastest vehicle in the Army.

Specially designed for mountain roads.

And Major Clooney handles it like a charm.

- Right.

It's 50 miles to Monte Carlo.

Let's make it a straight race.

- Sun of a gun.

You're on.

(engines running)

- You ready Clooney?

- Yes sir.

I'm ready to go.

- Okay Joe.

Remember you have the knowledge

and experience of a top rally driver.

The U87's faster,

but I'm betting we've got the better driver.

- It's up to you Joe.

- I'm ready.

(fast music)

(gunshot)

(engines running)

- Come on Major.

I can see those four stars on your shoulder right now.

- Yes sir!

Yee haw!

- [Professor] Come on Joe, don't let him get away from you.

- If I can slipstream him all the way, we've got a chance.

(fast music)

- Get it up Joe.

(fast music)

- Come on Joe 90!

- Watch the drop, Clooney.

It's a long way down.

- You're doing great Joe!

(engines running)

- Faster Clooney, faster.

- There's a long bend just ahead.

I'm going to try to take them there.

(fast music)

Hold on, I'm going to take a round on the throttle.

(fast music)

(engines running)

- That was the greatest piece of driving I've ever seen.

(dramatic music)

- We've made it Joe.

We're going to win.

(dramatic music)

- Well I make it World Intelligence are the winners

by about eight feet.

(engines running)

(gentle music)

- Well Weston, you beat us fair and square.

I'll have to admit it.

- Nice of you to take it like that General.

Thanks Joe, you were just great.

- Can I have some more ice cream please Mr. Weston?

- Of course you can.

Garcon.

- I've been thinking General.

- Alright Clooney.

Hit me.

- Monte Carlo's a great place

and I understand the Mediterranean command

will soon be needing a new CNC.

General Carter is retiring.

- And Mediterranean HQ is in Monte Carlo.

Clooney you're not quite so dumb as you make out.

- Why General,

us mountain boys was always noted for our intelligence.

How's the ice cream Joe?

- Fine Major Clooney, just fine.

And then everyone started to laugh.

- Yes?

What happened then?

- We just laughed and laughed Dad.

- Yes the tears were running down your cheeks, weren't they?

- That's right Dad.

- Joe you know what this means?

- Not exactly.

- Well last night when I gave you my brain pattern,

we both had a dream

and the dream you had was exactly the same

in every detail as mine.

- Yes Dad.

- It means that the BIG RAT

cannot only transfer the knowledge

and experience of one brain to another,

but also the patterns of the subconscious.

Joe we've made a very exciting discovery.

(triumphant music)
