" Well, I'm expecting visitors." " Ooh, perhaps I'm intruding." "You're not intruding." "I've just come from an embassy junket." "The rattle of ambassadorial decorations?" "The drone of speeches?" "Mm." "Proceeding at the pace of an infirm, gravely debilitated, very old snail." " Why the midnight vigil?" " I'm expecting Bobby Danvers." " The courier?" "What's he couriering?" " Top-secret papers from you know where." " Hot stuff?" " I've laid out my asbestos gloves." "He should have been here nearly two hours ago." "(Brakes squeaking)" "Wait!" "He hasn't got the box." "He must have ditched it on the way here." "And now he's going into Steed's place." "We've got to know what happens in there, Carl." "We've got to hear what's being said." "But if it was an ordinary delay, he would have telephoned, surely?" "Not necessarily." "Personal contact only." "That's one of the rules of the job." "Now if Danvers ... (Doorbell rings)" "(Gasps)" "They didn't get the box, Steed." "Hid it." "I hid it." "Confused the trail." "Hid it." "Treasure chest." "Red." "Treasure chest." " All right?" " Should be loud and clear." "(Steed) It doesn't make sense." "He hid the box in the red treasure chest." "That doesn't tell us much." " How did he arrive in the country?" " By plane." " (Peel) 'Know where he landed?" "' - 'A small airfield outside of London.'" "Then let's trace the route he took." "That might tell us something." "(Steed) Spread 'em out on the desk." "Carl!" "Were you asleep?" "No!" "'Course I wasn't asleep!" "Well, what's been happening?" "A van came up and took Danvers's body away." " Anything else?" " No, that's all." "(Phone rings over radio)" " (Man) 'Mr Steed?" "' - (Steed) 'Morning.'" " 'There's a parcel for you, sir.'" " The postman!" "(Steed) 'Thank you.'" " How are we doing?" " Not very well." "Even if he came here direct, it still means 35 miles of country roads." "Hm ... (Rattles)" " Aren't you going to open it?" " I know what it is." "Lead weights for your diving boots?" "Rock cakes from my Auntie Penelope." ""George Benstead requests the pleasure of John Steed at his annual car rally."" "Who is George Benstead?" "I have no idea, but he has a key." "For the treasure chest?" "And those are Danvers' fingerprints." "(Peel) 'The rally starts at High Pines, Edgington.'" "(Steed) 'That's about 15 miles from here.'" "Here you are." "The car rally." "Must be the right place." "This way, sir, madam." "Mr Benstead is waiting to welcome you." "(Engine revs)" "One minute 35." "Best time of the day, eh, Bates?" " Mr Steed and guest, sir." " Oh." "Do forgive finding me like this." "I do enjoy a little run, though." "It's exhilarating." "Steed, how good of you to come." "Forgive me." "I can't recall where it was we met." "May I introduce Mrs Emma Peel?" " How do you do?" " How do you do, my dear." " What a beauty." " Oh, I do agree." "Marvellous chassis." "Well, I wouldn't be quite so bold as to say that, but ..." "Her suspension's pretty complex too." "Hey?" "Oh!" "Oh, that!" "My patent simulator." "All controls are geared to the film." "One mistake and a bell rings." " You mean you've crashed?" " Metaphorically speaking, yes." "Would you care for a run?" "Oh, no, thank you very much." "No, Steed's the one who likes the big toys." "Oh, capital!" "Splendid!" "In you get then!" "Well, I ... (Chuckles)" "Oops!" "Ah!" "Fits me like a glove." "I'll adjust the lap speed about halfway." "(Engine revs)" "Shall we say 80 mph until we get used to it?" "Right." " I bet Bobby enjoyed this." " Bobby?" "Bobby Danvers." "We understood he was a friend of yours." "Watch that corner!" "Get into a four-wheel drift there and you've had it." "Ouch!" "There's something wrong with your electrics!" "No, no." "Oh, dear me." "I forgot to warn you, old chap." "When you make a mistake, you also get a mild electric shock." "(Chuckles)" "So I see!" "Gingers up one no end, eh?" "(Chuckles) "End" is right!" "(Exhales)" " Quite an experience, eh?" " Electrifying." "(Chuckles) Well, a stop at the pits is indicated." "(Steed chuckles)" " A drink." "Before the others arrive." " What a very good idea!" "Yes, yes." "A little pit stop." "Excellent." "Interesting prints here." "Picked them up cheaply in Prestatyn." "(Horn blares)" "(Door slams shut)" ""Hi-octane" stuff, eh?" "Exactly." "But all non-alcoholic of course." "Of course." "No problems about driving afterwards." "(Chuckles) Cheers." "What's this?" "Gin?" "A Maserati?" "(Laughter)" "Very amusing!" "(Coughs)" "I beg your pardon." "They put the super in the standard." " Did you get them?" " Only just." " Mrs Peel jumped me." " Mrs Peel jumped you?" "!" "Yeah, you didn't see it." "She's well and truly emancipated is that one." "Anyway, you got them, so we're in." "Of course I never married." "Wedded to my cars instead." " Distinct advantages." " You can switch a car off." "Mm." "That's it." "Exactly." "Tell me, isn't there something missing in this room?" "Oh?" "Well, if my memory serves me correctly, didn't you used to have a treasure chest, a red treasure chest?" "(Chuckles) That's rich." "That's really rich." "A treasure chest." "A red treasure chest." " (Chuckles) You'd like to see it now?" " As a matter of fact I would." "Excuse me, sir." "Some more guests have arrived." "Mm." "(Chuckles) Treasure chest." "(Laughs raucously)" "No sign of the famous treasure chest, but we're in the right place." "I ran into some trouble." "Somebody was ransacking Benstead's study." " Did they get anything?" " Not as far as I could make out." "A couple of invitations." "Blank ones." "It's not going to be easy, Alex." "This crowd." "Provides a perfect cover." "Helps to confuse things." "Besides, we are holding the ace." "We know the opposition." "(Indistinct conversations)" "Ladies and gentlemen, if you will give me your attention, please." "It is now time to draw for partners." " Partners." " Certainly, sir." "Driving partners." "Oh."

"I had such trouble with my clutch control." "Miss Playne, you'll be accompanying Mr John Steed." "Oh, who's John Steed?" "Here." "Oh, darling!" "You're with me." "Oh, I'm so glad!" "Because you remind me so much of dear David." " David?" " My fiancé." "In that case, perhaps I should step aside and your fiancé can partner you." "Oh, silly!" "David's dead." "The poor dear feel into a buzz saw." "He was terribly fond of carpentry." "Oh, darling!" " We have to wriggle out of this." " We can't go chasing off in the country." "No, so you better stay here and search." "Mrs Peel ... seems they've paired us off together." " Oh." " Cobin." "Major Mike Cobin." " How do you do?" " You look a good keen navigating type." "I do." "Yes." "And I want to make it clear right now I mean to win this treasure hunt." "Treasure hunt?" "Well, of course!" "Don't tell me you didn't know." "It's a car rally combined with a treasure hunt." "Splendid fun!" "Clues scattered along the route." "And each one leading you closer to the treasure." "The prize!" "The big prize." "It's worth 1,000 guineas this year." "Rich pickings." " I must check my motor." " And I'll get you two ladies a drink." "And you must tell me about your clutch control." "(Engine revs)" "Really, my dear chap!" "I'm shocked!" "Whoop!" "(Chuckles) Deeply shocked." "You do know where the treasure's hidden." "Naturally." "I'm the only who does." "I hid it myself." "But to come right out and ask me where I've hidden it ..." "And you have all the appearance of a gentleman too!" "Look, I'm not interested in the 1,000 guineas, Mr Benstead!" "Oh, no, no." "Of course not." "Just want to know where it's hidden, that's all." "(Chuckles)" "This is important!" "A friend of mine has hidden something in your treasure chest wherever it is." "More than that I can't tell you." "You'll have to trust me." "Look, as a gesture of good faith, I'll double the prize money, if you'll tell me where the treasure's hidden." "Double it?" "Double it?" "More than that, I'm willing ..." "Look out!" "(Tyres screeching)" "Ow!" "(Electric wires crackling)" "(Switch clicks)" "What are you doing?" "The switches, sir." "I was throwing the switches." " So I saw!" " Please, sir." "We have guests." "Someone had altered them to full voltage, sir." "Very dangerous." "Very." "There could have been a nasty accident." "There already has." "(Steed) Just come and look in here." "Mr Benstead, sir!" " Dead?" "!" " (Carl) Yeah, dead." "Well, I didn't touch him." "Well, if you didn't   and I didn't ..." "Yeah." "Who did?" "Isn't it time we're all away, darlings?" "Ah, Bates!" "Do tell Mr Benstead that we're ready." "I'm absolutely panting at the leash." "Go ahead as if nothing had happened." "Oh ..." "Mr Benstead is feeling a little unwell and will watching the start from his bedroom window." " Mr Benstead is ..." " I sincerely hope so, madam." "Take your partners, please." "The rally is about to commence." "I've got mine!" "(Bates) Please don't open it yet." "You know, there's something of Paul about you." " Paul?" " My second fiancé." "Poor love." "Insisted on surveying mountains by air." "Popped up in his helicopter and then his whirly things, whatever you call them, bumped against a glacier." " Did he come down again?" " Very rapidly." "Your first clue, sir." "Please don't open it yet." "Ladies and gentlemen, the first clue is sealed in your envelope." "When I give the signal, run to your cars, read the clue and then off you go." "Remember ..." "I shall be watching you." "I am the scrutineer." "Ready?" "Steady?" " No, no!" "You drive!" " Thank you!" "What are you doing?" "You're supposed to be with me!" "We haven't got a clue." "(Laughter)" "What's the first clue?" "(Chuckles) "The Vaults at Mithering."" "The Vaults at Mithering?" "That's what it says." "My fiancé had a car like this." " Poor Harold." " Harold?" "My third fiancé." "Oh, divine man." "Cross-Channel swimmer." "And one day he had this simply super idea of swimming it both ways." "Underwater." "(Sighs) Poor Harold." "He simply had no sense of direction." "(Sighs)" "(Tyres screeching)" "It's a short skirt ..." "I mean a short cut!" "(Penny chuckles)" "Short cut." "Should put us a good ten minutes ahead of the others." "(Mike) Any more good ideas?" "So much for your short cut." "Well, this is The Vaults at Mithering." "The bank vaults do you think?" "Now that wouldn't be a problem if we had dear Albert here." " Fiancé number ...?" " Four." "Or was it five?" "Anyway Albert was always blowing things up." "Went all over the world ..." "just demolishing things." "Is that so?" "It must mean something." "Let's try over here." "The last thing he blew up was a bridge." "Only he was so absent-minded, poor Albert." "He set the charges and then ..." " ... forgot to get off!" " See what's on that sign!" "Get in the car!" "(Tyres screeching)" "Well, we're ahead now." "Yeah." "Got to make sure that we stop ahead." "I shall make sure." "The next fast stretch." "(Laughter)" "Well, this is it." "Bombs away!" "(Chuckles)" "Look out!" "(Tyres screeching)" "Lucky." "We missed them." "I doubt if anyone else will." " Don't you think we should ...?" " We haven't got time." "Look out!" "(Tyres screeching)" "(Grunting)" "(Exhales) That reminded me of the bobsleigh run I did with Henry the fifth." " Henry V?" " My fifth." "I was thrown clear, but poor Henry." "Well, he really should have been wearing a crash helmet, don't you think?" "(Tyres screeching)" "(Tyre punctures)" "(Tyres screeching and clattering)" "Oh, I say." "(Chickens clucking)" "Someone awfully keen on winning, aren't they?" "Another short cut?" "This one's more reliable." "It should put us about five minutes ahead of anyone else." "(Tyres screeching)" "By the time I'm finished maybe more than five minutes." "Winning tactics?" " By hook ..." " Or by crook." "Anything?" "Not a thing." "Ah, we're still ahead." "(Alex) Hold it!" "(Laughter)" "That should upset someone, eh?" "(Tyres screeching)" "Fool!" "Well, somebody must have changed that other sign before we got there." "Somebody's cheated." "Well, it's not my fault if some people are dishonest." " They're ahead of us now." " We just turn around and go back." "No, no, no." "Chance it." "Take that road." " Well, this is Swingingdale." " Mm-hm." "Not very swinging." "(Mike) "Get a move on." That's what the clue said." "Get a move on." "(Tyres screeching)" " "Galding"?" " "The village of Galding."" "All right." "Get on." ""The village of Galding ..."" ""Mr Smith's hammer."" "Yes, I've always been fascinated by men of action." "Men who get up and go." "Sounds as though most of them got up and went." "Well, yes, I've had rather a run of bad luck." "There was that parachutist, for instance." "Desperate to break the record for a delayed drop." " And did he?" " Oh, he broke it, all right." "But unfortunately his neck as well." ""Mr Smith's hammer." What do you think it means?" "Smith and hammer, Smith and hammer." "What does that conjure up to you?" "Erm ... a blacksmith's!" "Mr Smith's hammer." "Hammer!" "Look! "Barrels ..."" ""Of." "Fun." "At." "Treetops." "Farm."" " Come on." " Wait." "But Mrs Peel's ahead of us!" "And Steed is right behind us." "Can't be too far behind." "This will narrow down the opposition." "(Penny) Steed?" "Not a word!" "Over there!" "Quick!" "(Penny) Steed?" "Look what I found, Steed." "It's sup...posed to be lucky." "Get this thing off me!" "Quickly, you fool." "Careful." "(Tyres screeching)" "Well, it is supposed to be lucky." "We have to get 'em." "They can't be far ahead." "If they can only get at the treasure ..." "Well, they can't get far." "I sugared their petrol." "You what?" "Well, it isn't exactly that I wanted to cheat." "Although 1,000 guineas would buy a lot of hats." "But I am so used to giving sugar lumps to horses and cars are sort of horses, aren't they?" "And when I saw that lonely little car standing there sugar-less," "I just naturally ... (Banging door down)" " Look out!" " Hey!" "Watch it!" "Well, that put paid to the opposition." "From now on it's plain sailing." "Penny Playne sailing!" "(Gunshots)" "(Tyres screeching)" "(Penny pants)" "They told me this windscreen was bulletproof." "There's a farm." "Bottom of the hill." "The other side of this wood." " Did you see any of the others?" " No." "We're way ahead." "All on our own." "(Tyres screeching)" "Where do we start?" "I don't know." "Your guess is as good as mine." "(Chickens clucking)" "Barrels of fun!" "Right, I'll start here." "You try the other rooms." "(Grunts)" "Barrels of fun!" ""Back at my place - what a shocking place to hide the treasure!"" "Mike!" "Mike?" "Mike!" "Mike?" "Had any luck?" " Yeah, in the store room." "I found ..." " You found ...?" "A barrel with something written on the bottom of it." "The clue I think." " It's the one nearest the window." " Right." "Bates!" "(Bates groans)" " Bates, are you all right?" " (Groans) Oh, Miss ..." "I ..." "I think so." "Mike Cobin, Miss, he's ... he's an imposter." "You must stop him getting the treasure." "You must." " Are you sure you're all right?" " Mm." "Don't worry." "I'll stop him." "Now where shall we start?" "(Bates groans)" "Bates!" "Sir ... madam." "Explain." "Have you ever woken up, sir, and realised it just wasn't going to be one of your days?" "And then I saw Cobin shoot at you, sir, and I followed him here." "And that's when he attacked me." "And then Mrs Peel arrived." "Where's Mrs Peel now?" "She drove back towards the house, sir." "(Tyres screeching)" "Nice bit of driving, Mrs Peel." "Bates wouldn't tell me where the treasure was." "Maybe you will." "Oh, you're such a splendid driver!" "Almost as good as Edward." "Another fiancé?" "He went off on safari." "Determined to bag a rhinoceros." "It." "Bagged." "Him." "(Chuckles)" "You are being stubborn, Mrs Peel." "That's unfortunate." "You see, I haven't much time." "No time for finesse." "For gentle persuasion." "The final clue, Mrs Peel." "You will tell me the final clue!" "(Bell rings)" "Better concentrate on the road, Mrs Peel." "Just a mild shock the moment." "Nothing to worry about." "Let's push the speed up, shall we?" "And increase the voltage." "The next shock won't be so pleasant." "I hate to tell you, but that opposition you lost ..." "(Tyres screeching)" "(Tyres screeching and bell rings)" "I keep telling you!" "There's nothing hereto interest you." "Oh, come on now, Mrs Peel." "I've no loyalties." "I sell to the highest bidder." "I keep my ear to the ground, my eyes open." "When I saw you and Steed go off on a treasure hunt with two of the opposition tailing you, there's got to be something in it for me." "(Tyres screeching and bell rings)" "It's obviously not going fast enough!" "The final clue, Mrs Peel." "What is it?" "(Tyres screeching)" "They're gaining!" "(Shouts) Talk!" "What about?" "The weather?" "This is going to be very unpleasant for you soon, Mrs Peel." "(Bell rings)" "(Bell rings)" "Now!" "On the right." "Get up his side." "Again!" "Try." "On the side, on the side!" "(Tyres screeching)" "Oh!" "Road hogs!" "(Gunshot)" "(Clanking)" "(Engine revs)" "(Bell rings)" "(Yells) Where is it?" "(Bell rings)" "My patience is wearing thin, Mrs Peel!"

"Mrs Peel, you do realise in a few moments you're likely to die?" "(Gunshot)" "(Gunshot)" "(Gunshot)" "I say, you're awfully good at it." "Switch it off!" "I warn you, I'm simply hopeless at mechanical things." "I've done it!" "Don't touch me." "Oh!" "It's no good." "It just keeps going round and round." "I've just been introduced to a rarity from Reed." "Steed, the voltage control!" " The voltage control?" " Yes, the voltage control!" " Oh, that!" "I disconnected it." " You what?" "(Bell rings)" "Ah!" "Each grape individually crushed." "So that's how you do it." "The custom, I believe, is to toast the glorious victor." "What about the treasure?" "Well, the final clue was, "What a shocking place to hide the treasure."" ""What a shocking place to hide the treasure."" "You're warm." "Very cold." "Getting warmer." "Warmer." "Sizzling hot."
