Original subtitles

What you got that for, ruthlessness in the field?

Dedication to duty.

Same thing.

I bet, if it came to selling your grandmother or doing the job.

It would be buy buy granny.

You know the rules.

You break the rules faster and more often than anyone I know.

That rule never that rule.

Well, mustn't keep the ambassador waiting.

Who knows if he likes your face, you might get one of these.

Don't agree with you, Spelman.

We need safe ground in every city. - Well, not in London, my hometown.

Especially here. Purdey.

Sorry Mike. Must rush. See you monday, Tony.

- Give my love. - Will do.

If who your love?

Purdey's mother.

She's going home for a few days that's why the rush.

- You've met her mother? - Oh, yes, marvelous woman.

Fun, but beautiful.

Because then she'd have to be, wouldn't she?

You haven't had your feet under that table yet.

Well, you know Purdey. She's very discriminating.

Hmm.

Two of us. Just for one girl. - Three of us.

She's no ordinary girl. Don't underestimate that, Packer.

I won't. But why we need a pack up, I don't know.

Here she comes.

Hello, sweetheart.

I'm not your sweetheart.

HOSTAGE

Send a telegram to her mother.

I'm sorry. I can't make it today.

Right.

Nice action.

You were watching his hands. Should have been watching his eyes.

Try your luck?

My tailor wouldn't approve.

Do you know, you and I have never faced each other.

You're too young to die, Gambit. Besides I never fight fair.

Hi, Tony. - Could you beat him?

I wouldn't put it to the test. He's a very tough man.

But if you had to?

I don't have to do it.

I think, I'd bet on you.

He probably just treated as a sport or a game.

Like you and I at the old school, eh?

I mean, don't even start, if you don't mean to finish.

What's in your mind Tony?

Would you kill him?

If you were�ordered to. If it was necessary ...

... would you kill him?

I don't like that kind of joke.

Joke. Yes, probably.

Jokes. I hope so.

Even when you were active in the field Tony, you were always cryptic.

It's just a whisper John. That may never become a sharp.

- Whisper? - Anonymous.

Without substance, but nevertheless whispering that there may be a traitor here.

... it could be a rotten apple.

Hello, sweetheart.

I told you, I'm not your�sweetheart.

You're anything I want you to be, sweetheart

Who's Purdey?

Purdey?

A friend of mine - Someone you know rather well.

Suzy, you're cool and beautiful. Jealousy doen't become you.

Jealous?

I'm certainly not jealous. - Good.

Then come and sit down. We can enjoy our meal.

You still haven't told me who she is.

When I was twenty one, I rode point for a lazy t.

A genuine cattle drive from Arizona to The Black Hills.

Unlikely cowboy.

You adjust your sitting on the horse according to its posture.

So you learn one more thing.

A maverick for instance. You know what that is?

It's a free spirit. - A free spirit if you like.

An animal that cuts out from the hurt ...

... difficult to tie down.

Cheers.

Hello?

You think Purdey's with her mother, don't you?

- Hey? Take a look in your garage.

Who is this?

Hello?

Purdey.

Leave it!

Hello? - We've got Purdey.

- Now look ... - Just listen.

We know you're not alone.

Get rid of her at once. We'll call you back.

- What about ... - Do as I say so you see her alive again.

I'm sorry. I really am terribly sorry. I wouldn't do this if it weren't very important.

It's vital. It's business.

I'm afraid, I'm�gonna have to throw you out.

That's later in the week.� - I wouldn't rely on it John.

I'm glad you explained about mavericks.

You're letting him sweat a bit.

Yes. Just so the nerves crawl to the surface.

Yes? - You're alone now? - Yes, yes. What about Purdey?

I told you we've got her.

Why? What do you want?

That's better.

It should be okay as long as you�play along.

- What you want? - We'll let you know.

Meanwhile ...

... you tell no one.

Or tell she's dead.

I'm gonna hang up.

Hey?

I'm gonna hang up and ring the alarm bells ...

... unless�you can give me proof that she is all right.

I'm gonna give you three seconds.

One ...

Two ...

Steed!

That's all you get.

And tell no one, got it? - Yes.

Gambit too.

He's not like you Steed.

Headstrong.

The kind that would rush in and get her killed for sure.

I�give you my word. - We'll be in touch.

It could be this thereafter.

Who?

If the tiff off was accurate and there is a rotten apple in the barrel,

... could be this they want.

The full allied attack plan.

We have to keep it in our custody.

We hand it�over to the Americans at the end of next week.

Not a responsibility that I relish, but a responsibility that I take very seriously.

John.

Sorry, I was miles away. - Not a good habit.

You can dream within the safe walls of this office,

but one night down some dark alley.�

I'm not in that dark alley. Tony, excuse me.

John Steed, any calls for me?� - No, Mr. Steed.

See you Tony.

Gambit.

Oh, hello Steed.

We're going to the range to try out this new toy.

Want to come along?

Sorry. Seen Purdey by the way?

No, she took off yesterday� to see her mother.

You saw her go from here. - Yes.

- Carrying a suitcase? - No.

Oh, She probably went back to her place first.

Steed?

Anything I can do?

Headstrong. The kind that would rush in and get her killed for sure.

Nothing at all Gambit.

You won't find any clues there Steed.� Nothing that leads to us.

You just gotta play along. So listen carefully.

We'll talk money.

5 000 pounds?

I find that vaguely insulting.

Even a mere leader of commerce merits more than that.

It's not the money we're interested in.

It's what we have in mind. That's chicken feed 5 000 pounds.

Take the main road to Edge Street.

Keep going until you reach number 14.

At�the front door, you'll see two garbage cans.

Put the envelope in the one nearest the door.

As soon as you've done that get out of the�area.

Go home and wait to hear from us.

We'll be watching.

He delivered? He obeyed instructions? - Here's letter.

- We've really got him sweating.� - Yeah, so we can't let up.

Hold her.

Hello.

From here on, we won't talk too long.

You're not getting a chance to trace calls Steed.

I did as you asked.

You got the money. - The money doesn't matter.

We'll send it.

What about Purdey?

Look outside the front door.

- Suzy. - I don't usually pursue a man, but I am, unashamedly.

The other evening, I had no right to ask you about Purdey.

Is this what you're looking for?

You can have it in�exchange for a firm dinner date for tomorrow night.

John, even mavericks show some consideration, don't they?

Some manners.

John.

What is it?

Just a lock of hair this time Steed. - What do you want?

No turn of trace of course, Steed. I told you.

You have to move now, on the double. - Listen ...

No, you listen.

A mile down from the end of your drive there's a phone booth.

We'll start calling it exactly three minutes from now.

You better be there.

Purdey.

I'll call you, Suzy.

I promise.

Hello? -Steed.

You only just made it. - I've got to know about Purdey.

She's fine. So far. - If it's not money, what do�you want?

Look under the back seat of your car, Steed.

The business with the money was just a dummy run.

To see just how far you would go to cooperate.

All the way would, Steed. All the way to save Purdey.

Well, that's how far you do have to go. All the way.

Because what we want is ...� - You won't do it.

He'll never agree to that.

Steed's a pro through and through. - We'll see.

He's steel, no teak. Inflexible. He won't do it

I hope he does.

For your sake.

Those are our terms, Steed.

There's nothing else we will accept.

If you want to see Purdey alive again, you will accept ...

... and do exactly as we say.

You'll find the means in the top drawer of your bureau.

Good evening. - Good evening.

- Don't usually see you this late. - Urgent business.

He's in. - Okay.

He's in.

He must value you very very much.

Personally, I don't blame him.

Packer!

Steed.

I saw a light and ... ... just wondered

Just looking through McKay's diary. There's a vip meeting later this month.

And you want to make sure you ... ... have a clean colour on.

I want to make sure I miss it.

There's nothing here. Maybe there's something on the notice board out there

I'll have a look.

Nothing at all.

Fancy for a drink?

No, thank you. I'm in a bit of a rush.

Have to rescue a beautiful damsel in distress.

Something like that. Good night, Mike.

Good night, Steed.

He's put his head in the noose and this will help tighten it.

- It'll give me pleasure to do sir. - Spelman?

Hello, Purdey. You're surprised.

Yes, of course. You would be.

It's not really a Spelman, you know. Just a name that evokes magic.

Just think.

You introduced me to your mother?

What do you think, sir?

Well you know, Steed.� He often plays his own games.

I didn't tell him about that house.

All the fact that we have it under surveillance nor did Spelman.

Did you, sir?

Well, what I mean is that house is� a drop-off place for their agents.

It's their post office.

All right investigate. But discreete mind.

John Steed's the hub of this organization.

He gets wind of it and hands in his resignation.

I'll be very discreet, sir.

Yes, the mail arrives at Steed's place around nine.

Hello? - Twenty minutes.

North side of Pembroke Park.

I'll take that. Security business.

Walters?

He took off in a hurry. But I intercepted his mail.

I thought I told you to be discreet.

It was a calculated risk zone. It may have paid off.

There must be about five thousand pounds here.

It's no note. It's post mark one. - Where are you�now?

Pursuing. General direction of Pembroke Park.

The deal is off. You are followed.

Lose him and be back here in exactly one hour.

Walters to McKay.

Come in.

Either he spotted me or he's very late for an appointment.

Taken off like a bat out of hell.

I'm tailing him.

I've lost him. - Get back here straight away.

Report you want it, sir.

How am I look? - Okay.

He's on his way.

Walters is returning to base. Go to it.

And don't get any prints on that gun.

He won't fool him for a moment.

Oh, yes, he will.

And it's dark down there.

Steed?

I've got him again.

Where?

He's right below. Down here in the car park.

Tell him I want a word.

He's behaving I don't think he wants a word just now.

I'll try and persuade him.

Steed?

John.

John?

We're not sure of you anymore, Steed.

- I had no idea I was ... - Go home and wait.

You two. Check the area. - Right.

My office.

He could be doing anything.

Discarding a cigar wrapping. He's a very neat person.

He's a very neat person.

He's a very neat person.

He took off in a hurry. But I intercepted his mail.

There must be about five thousand pounds here.

Well?

Walters last message.

He's right below you� down here in the car park.

It's circumstantial. We still don't know what happened.

And�there's another thing.

It's important documents are kept in this safe.

Every time�the safe's open ...

... the event is recorded here.

And the exact time the safe was opened.

I've opened it ten times. The eleventh time it was open was twenty three fifty seven.

Long after I left the office.

So what does that prove?

Steed knew the documents were here.

Steed wouldn't possibly got to.

Yes Gambit?

Gambit?

I found him in here the other evening. - What time?

Around midnight.

But he was nowhere near the safe.

He was by your desk. Checking your diary about some special vip visit.

Yes, the minister's due here in a week.

So there you are. He was telling the truth.

Mike, it still doesn't explain the other things.

So?

Why me? Why not Spelman?

I can't order you to tag Steed,� but I'd rather it was you.

Gambit, I don't believe any more than you do ...�

... that Steed has realigned his interest. That's why I want you to tag him.

At least, you'd have a sympathetic eye.

You'd be looking for innocence.

Spelman. Yes, he's a good man.

But he plays it by�the book.

And you and I both know that playing it by the book was never Steed's style.

All right. But as you said. I'll be looking to prove him right

Good.

Do you have a drink?

No. I don't think this is the occasion.

Yes.

Wait until there's something to celebrate, eh?

It's just a tag. Surveillance.

Nothing has been confirmed against Steed.

But Gambit.

If it is confirmed, you bring him in.

Mike.

Do you think Steed did take those papers?

I think.

I will have that drink now.

This distracts them. Where did you put it?

- Like you told me. - Any minute now then.

Come in.

It's okay. - Okay.

Right. It's on. I'll give you 15 minutes ...

... to get there then I'll call you. - All right.

Not long now.

Been fired once and the serial number fit Steed's.

McKay to Gambit.

Come in.

Gambit, this time it's for real.

We've got confirmation about Steed.

Bring him in.

Gambit.

Hello Steed.

Unexpected surprise.

Life's full of surprises.

Some good ...

... some bad.

Very bad.

What brings you here?

Hello?

Steed, the meeting's on.

Now, bring the stuff with you.

- Where? - Get into your car ...

... leave the side door unlocked. Drive north at exactly 10 miles per hour.

I didn't believe him.

- Believe what?� - McKay.

Confirmation against Steed.

Look Mike, I could explain.

But I'm too close.

It's dangerous. - What's left to explain?

Mike give it to me. - So you can hand them over.

That's what the call was all about. The payoff.

I need those papers.

I'm sorry Steed.

I'm taking you in.

Then you'll have to kill me.

Once you start, you'll have to kill me. - You know better than that Steed.

A leg shot.

And you won't be going anywhere at all.

Don't make me do it.

All right, it's Purdey They've got her.

Those papers are the price.

Yes, that will be your last card.

Use Purdey against me.

Now, come on.

Well, let McKay decide.

Look. Please Gambit, give me a chance.

Please give me a chance. Let me run, please.

Please.

I did warn you.

I never fight fair.

Keep your eyes on the road. Drive.

I wouldn't. I put an incendiary in there.

Feel it.

Open it up. It'll go out in flames.

I can defuse it.

When you've taken me to Purdey.

Take the next on the left.

Well. We're home and drive.

You don't really think he'll bring those papers, do you?

Purdey.

So that would be a Steed style that triggers enforcement.

It doesn't matter.

I don't give a damn about the allied attack plans.

Now, they'll probably be out of date in a couple of months.

Anyway.

After today, you won't have any allies.

And then they trust you.

Doubt is our weapon.

Steed incriminated.

Steed.

That's going to pull the rug out from under your security ...

... and have everyone�doubting everyone else.

Doubt ...

... like an acid.

Eroding, destroying.

It's gonna rock your�department.

Make it ineffectual for years.

The fact that you're telling me ...

... gives me�an awful sinking feeling.

And now you're starting to understand.

Steed isn't going to have a chance to kill himself.

He won't leave here alive.

And unfortunately ...

... even you.

It's Purdey.

They've got her.

That envelope is the price.

It's Purdey.

Purdey! Purdey ...

Hello?

Could I speak to Purdey, please? - Purdey?

Yes. There is her mother, isn't it?

Yes, but Purdey isn't here.

She would come and vist me.

And then she called and said couldn't make it.

Hello. Hello!

I'm sorry. Thank you.

And by the way, I�hope to have dinner with you sometime.

Who is that?

McKay.

Come in McKay!

You got him?

No, I did not get him.

He got me. - You were prepared, you knew.

Who else knew about the papers? - What?

The allied attack plans. Who else knew about them?

- Well ... - Look, it's important. Who else?

- Walters. - He's dead, try again.

No one else, but Spelman of course.

But then he has to. He's allied liaison.� - Spelman.

Where does he live?

North London. You won't believe, but looks like a fun fair.

They're here. Coming in the front.

Steed!

Steed! Steed!

Gentlemen.

First time I saw something like this was at The Savoy Grill.

Quite delicious.

Are you all right? - Yes. Steed, you know it's a trap.

Yeah, I gathered that.

I've just had an encounter with Gambit.

You've got the papers.

Spelman.

The rotten apple in the barrel.

Don't open it. He rigged a�device in it.

You can feel it.

I'm the only one who can defuse it.

It'll take�me an hour or so i'm afraid.

Take me time Steed.

Tales I make up.

This. These papers.

Final nail in your coffin Steed.

You're right. I was playing for time, but not much just a few moments.

Place to be surrounded by now. You don't think, I came on my own, do you?

McKay's men followed me every inch of the way.

There was no tail. I'd stake my life on it.

You may have to. Go and look.

You take the roof.

Marvin come with me.

You won't see anybody, you know.

You're all highly trained men.

The first thing you'll know is when they start shooting.

Steed stay where you are or I'll kill you.

I was going to take a look myself.

They're probably already in the building.

Their guns are trained on you, Spelman.

Skilled marksmen watching you now.

They'll take you first and wait take aim to shoot you first.

You must already be in their sights.

They'll press the trigger.

Now.

Behind the settee. Try and get them from the other side.

I'll cover you.

Steed.

Jammed.

Have you run out Steed?

Has your gun jammed?

Marvin? They're behind settee. Get over there and I'll cover you.

You've got a chance Steed. Run. - Desert a lady in distress.

The scoutmaster turn in his grave.

Speaking of graves.

Hat.

Steed, it's me!

You'll help him, won't you?

He's capable of meeting anyone.

Well, almost everyone.

Anyway, he helped restore his confidence.

He's confidence, Steed.

I don't know how you got here Gambit. But I'm certainly glad you did.

I'll explain later.

There'll be a lot to explain later. - There's no need to.

Allied attack plans.

But this is the genuine article.

Make all the rules, but not that rule.

I wasn't sure what they had in mind.

You mean, you were prepared to hand these over for me?

It's only paper.

You're Purdey.

Steed.

Can you do me a favor?

Can you square things away with Suzy?

She thinks, I'm inordinately fond of you.

Silly deluded girl.
