"Did you get anything?" "Not much." "He's planning something." "Something to do with Zeta, I think he said." "And that's all the department had to start with." "But who is this Zeta?" "They still don't know." "But you do." "Mm-hmm." "Zeta is a woman who runs a kind of colony called Angvia." "What is it?" "It's a..." "A sort of..." "Well, no," "It's a kind of..." "Well, you see, there's this strange race of women." "Women?" "Mmm." "But not ordinary women." "Why?" "They don't have any men." "But how do they..." "They don't." "Oh." "How boring." "And they live in Angvia." "Where is Angvia?" "I think it's out in space somewhere." "Or perhaps it's not." "Perhaps it's right here," "In a different time scale or something." "All I know is that it exists." "**" "The whole place is like a vast supernatural ant colony." "The women... the Angvians..." "Are picked up" "From all over the world and by brainwashing processes," "Conditioned for their allotted functions." "Some of them become administrators," "Some workers, some fighters." "Zeta herself is the queen ant." "Who she is or where she originally came from" "Is a mystery." "But she holds the key to the whole set up." "All the others have come from Earth." "They're specially selected after careful observation," "Then a kidnapping party is sent out." "The girls are grabbed off the street, rendered unconscious" "And transported to Angvia" "By some sort of time or space machine" "Housed in a pantechnicon." "In a what?" "A large van." "Oh, you're making this rubbish up." "You think so?" "Well, you can't really expect me to believe it." "Oh, nobody's going to believe it." "But you wanted to hear it." "Oh, but you can't leave it like that." "I mean, what happened?" "I mean, how did the Angvians come into it?" "And what was this Bourdon doing?" "I thought you said it was rubbish." "Well, you must admit, it is a bit far-fetched." "Yes, it is, isn't it?" "Well, where was I?" "Angvia." "And what's it got to do with Major Bourdon?" "Ah yes, Major Bourdon." "Well, you see, he discovered about Angvia" "And he thought that if he could find out where it was," "He could perhaps take it over." "Why?" "Power, perhaps?" "So what happened?" "(James) So, he got his sidekick Swyne to follow a couple of Angvian girls" "And W's man was following Swyne." "Hey... you can't do that, love!" "I'll be reporting you if I see you doing that again." "Oh, I beg your pardon." "Just a minute, mate." "Where are you going?" "Oh, yes, um." "Um, Islington." "Shan't keep you a moment." "If you think I'm changing that, you've got another think coming!" "Oh my God, it's gonna be one of them days!" "All right then, go on, up the stairs!" "Go on and I'll come up when I've got some change." "Um, I'm getting off." "Just a minute here, you!" "Not only will I 'ave you for jumpin' on this bus," "But I'll 'ave you for not paying your fare either!" "Come along..." "Thank you very much!" "Hey, Four-Eyes!" "You ain't got your change!"

"The snatch is arranged then?" "Yes." "Come on." "(Delta blues playing inside club)" "Oh, lovely girl, sir." "Show's starting right now." "All lovely girls." "Does this girl work here?" "No, not her..." "This one." "They all work here, sir." "What's her name?" "That's Clarissa Richambeau, Queen of the G-string." "Is that her real name?" "Oh, no, that's her stage name, you understand." "I'm not at liberty to, uh..." "No, of course you're not." "Half a moment." "That's Edwina Strain." "Lovely girl, mind." "(Phone beeping)" "Hello, Major Bourdon?" "(Bourdon) Is that you, Swyne?" "Where the hell have you been?" "Listen, Major." "I've got some fantastic news." "I've been following those two Angvian girls" "Here, there and everywhere." "Anyway, I was walking along and following them" "And I was just behind them when..." "Get to the point, man, get to the point!" "I haven't got all day." "Yes, well, Major," "I discovered who they are going to abduct next." "It's a girl who works in the striptease club." "You're sure about that?" "Oh, absolutely certain." "I heard them all talking about it." "Get her over here." "Bring her to you?" "But how?" "What the hell do you think I pay you for?" "Think of something!" "(Phone clicking)" "(Traffic passing, horn honking)" "Edwina Strain?" "Yes?" "Edwina, will you accept these flowers?" "I'm not supposed to receive presents from the clients." "Oh, you misunderstand." "I'm not a client." "As a matter of fact," "I have some very important business to discuss with you." "I'm afraid that's what they all say." "No, this is serious." "It's very important that you cooperate with us." "Us?" "I'm a secret agent, Department Five." "Do you have any credentials?" "Oh, yes, of course." "Here is my card." "My boss..." "That's Major Bourdon..." "He's most anxious to have a little talk with you" "And if you don't believe me," "It's only just around the corner." "Mmm." "Well, if there's any funny business, I'll call for the law." "But of course." "Taxi!" "(Bourdon) It may all seem a little fantastic," "But it's frighteningly true." "It's incredible." "If what you say is true, then these... thank you." "Yeah, he's got some bird with him at the moment." "These Angvians," "They could take over the entire world in no time at all." "Unless they're stopped." "And you want me to help?" "By finding them." "I'll try." "W's a boy, but he's as pecked as any." "We, in uh..." "In Department Five," "Have been trying to discover their whereabouts." "They seem to have some secret hideaway," "An operational base in this country." "Now that's where you come in, Edwina, dear." "Please call me Ted." "Everyone else does." "Listen, do you want me to become one of them?" "Well, um, Ted," "I hardly think it'll be necessary to go as far as that." "But if we can get you into their hideout," "By swallowing this homing device," "You can lead us to them." "(Edwina) All right." "(Bourdon) Swyne, a glass of water." "(With American accent) Hello?" "Hello, Word..." "Is that you, Word?" "What..." "What, W..." "What did you say?" "I want to have a word with you" "About a little matter that's blowing up." "Just a moment."
