"Steed?" "Steed?" "Is that you?" "Phase one complete, Lola." "On to phase two, Basil." "If that doesn't bring Steed and Mrs Peel   nothing will." "Mrs Peel ... we're needed." "Now I've seen everything." " Hooper." " What?" "Hooper." "He's one of our best agents." "He's a very upright fellow." " Very." " Well, let's take a closer look." "He must have been shot with this." "It's a crimson glory." "Won first prize at the Chelsea Flower Show." "It's also Hooper's code name." "A rose." "Major B's idea." "He hates the idea of our chaps being a bunch of spies." "Prefers a bouquet of agents." "What was he doing here anyway?" "He came to meet someone." "(Camera rolls)" "Here's Mrs Peel again." "Those photos you supplied, Dr Krelmar, didn't do her justice." "(Krelmar) I agree with you, Basil." "She's enchanting." "Delectable." "Ravishing." "Yes, I think I'm going to enjoy this assignment." "(Shakes dice)" "Look at those legs." "Not a patch on yours, Lola." "(Krelmar) Here is Steed." "Well, those photos didn't do him justice either." "Poised." "Charming." "Ooh, I think I'm going to like this assignment!" "That's not what we're here for." "All right, cut it, Krelmar." "We've seen enough." "The ball's in your court now, Doctor." "I'm ready." "But are you sure that Steed will come here?" "Quite sure." "And when I put this on the door   I am equally sure ... he will come in." "(Peel) Steed?" " A clue." " Rather an obvious one." "It's still worth following up." "(Chuckles) I'll do it." "You take care of the gun." "Still no sign of him." "(Basil) He'll come." "I know Steed." "The way he thinks." "He'll be here." "Help you relax." "Tension is dissipated by a mental attitude." "As a psychiatrist ..." " Are you all set?" " Yes." "Time for the unveiling." "Nervous?" "I have every confidence in the Doctor." "Our people only hire the best." "I'm going to miss you, Basil baby." "You're not the only one." "Are you all right?" " Doctor!" " Don't fuss." "Touch of migraine." "Migraine?" "Take one of these." "(Car approaching)" "I told you, Doctor." "He's here." "Get out of sight." "Settle down." "(Typewriter tapping)" "Good morning." "Good morning, sir." "Can I be of help?" "I hope so." "Ah, stilts." "For yourself?" "A fancy-dress party." "Give me a bird's-eye view if nothing else." "(Chuckles) We have a large selection." "So I see." "Do you sell many of these nowadays?" "It's all right." "You're certain." "Please!" "I experimented during the war." "We had unlimited guinea pigs." "We lost many, but now it is perfected." "Lower the visor." "When you are ready." "If anything should go wrong." "Stop worrying." "It's all so simple." "Have you never felt remote?" "Isolated?" "Detached?" "All I have done is harness this inner self." "Control it and, as you will see, transplant it." "The mind, the soul, the entire psyche." "From one body to another." "And vice versa." "It is quite safe." "You have my assurance." "Now it is vital to keep the mind and body working." "When I give the signal, you will start counting." "(Whirrs)" "(Bleeps)" "Now." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." "11,12 ... 13,14,15,16," "17, 18, 19, 20, 21 22 ..." "(Switches off machine)" "(Groans)" "I made it, lover." "Basil!" " Mm ..." " What's the matter?" "I miss the moustache." "So do I." " You're a genius, Doctor." " I'm paid to be." "(Spits out cigar head)" "Now for Mrs Peel." "Steed." " I've checked on that gun." " And?" "You'll never guess who it was registered to?" " Do tell." " Me." "It's a very odd affair." " Odder than you think." " Oh?" "The stilt shop was empty, but there was a contraption there." "A weird sort of thing." "An electronic device." "Lots of dials and ..." "I think it would be better if you came and saw it." "I'll get my coat." "Help yourself to a drink." " Er, thanks." "I'd ..." " You know where it is." "On second thoughts I think I'd better not." "Keep a clear head and all that." " Ooh, you have changed." "Well, I'm ready." " Eh?" "Good." "Right, Emma." "Shall we go?" "I only hope he can convince Mrs Peel." "He will." "Basil's been well trained." "This operation's taken years to plan as you very well know." "I think you'll agree our English is impeccable." "Yes, but why Steed and Mrs Peel?" "Why not the heads of state?" "The Prime Minister?" "Politicians are replaceable." "What we aim to destroy is the very structure of the security system." "How is that possible?" "Your job was to perfect the machine, not to ask questions!" "And I have done so." "It works, as you see." "(Car approaching)" "Now this is the place." "They're here." "Leave this to me." " Right, where's the contraption?" " Shh." "Round there." "(Footsteps approaching)" "Mrs Peel, look out!" "(Glass shattering)" "Steed!" "Doctor!" "Very foolish, Mr Steed." "I felt that." "That was my face you were bruising." "Go on." "Help the Doctor." "I admire your tailor, old man." " Very good taste." " More than I can say for yours." "Uh-uh!" "Your face remember?" "Relax, lover." "It's all quite painless." "You should know." "Bon voyage!" "Stand by to start counting when I give the signal." "Now!" "One, two, three, four, five ..." "Six, seven, eight   nine, ten." "(Switches off machine)" " Are you OK?" " Mm, great, baby." "That's my Lola." "What do we do with me?" "What is good for the goose is good for the ..." "Help me, Doc." "We make a very handsome couple." "Come on, lover." "We've got a full programme ahead." "If you shout, don't gamble on anyone hearing you." "Ah-ah!" "One second." "Old habits die hard." "Steed!" "That woman!" "That's not me!" "Save your breath, Mrs Peel." "That's not me either." "(Announcer) 'For those who have just switched on to "The Avengers",' 'we'd like to explain that these two villains' 'have swapped minds with Steed and Emma.'"

"Yes, he certainly has something, I must say." "Mm." "I do so agree." " Dear Lola, Mrs Peel is not unappealing." " Oh?" "As they say, a change is as good as a rest." "Yeah." "But I wonder if they think so." "So you imagine I'm part of some fiendish plot, Mrs Peel?" "I know Steed." "And you are not he." "And to quote, or nearly, you are not she either." "Transmigration." "Interchange." "Switch." "Swap." "Call it what you will." "No." "It's some trick." "Well, I'll say one thing." "You certainly retained your stubborn streak." "Do you remember that drive from Montbard to Dijon?" " "Turn right," you said." " You turned left." " If I hadn't ..." " We'd have missed that chateau." " Except for the claret." " The Chablis, Mrs Peel." "It was Chablis." "Are you still doubtful?" "Well, I know who I am." "And if you are Steed, I wonder what WE are up to." "(Door opens)" "Well, well." "This is a pleasant surprise." "It isn't often you two drop by." "Erm, coffee, Mrs Peel, Steed?" "Thank you, Major, but this isn't a social visit." " Oh?" " We came to see you about Hooper." " Hooper?" " Hooper." "Ah." "Poor Hooper." "Poor, poor Hooper." "How do you interpret his death?" "Oh, unlucky break." "Chance encounter with someone from the other side." "Sorry." "We think it's more far-reaching that that." "We look on it as the beginning of an attack on the whole floral network." "Oh, but that's impossible." "Well, you know the way I've reorganised." "I've split the whole of Europe into sections." "We're running the entire show from these shores." "Even though are agents are based here doesn't make them less vulnerable." "We want to check the whole network." "Oh." "Well, really, Steed, you know that information is highly confidential." "I realise their locations are strictly hush, hush, but a brief word with each of them might clear up the whole affair." "All we want is their telephone numbers." "Hm." "Er, Tulip ... (Tulip) 'Major.'" "You've got a copy of the list of network security numbers?" "'Yes, in the file.'" " Would you mind bringing it in?" " 'Certainly, Major.'" "Thank you." "Oh, we'll get to the bottom of this, Steed." "Steed, Mrs Peel, how nice to see you." " Hello, Tulip." " How are you?" "Blooming." " The file you wanted, Major." " Ah, thank you, Tulip." "Well, there we are, Steed." "Make good use of it." " Oh, we will, Major." " You may depend upon it." " Goodbye, Major." "Tulip." " Mrs Peel." "Steed." "(Chuckles) Ah, splendid pair."

"Look, I want to see you right away." "Right." "At my apartment." "I'll be waiting for you." "True, but unfortunately   when the Doctor left he took his fiendish machine with him." "And unfortunately we've got to find him." "And the only way to find him ..." "is to find the other me." "Yes." "If you were you, where would you head?" "Back to my apartment." "Bright girl."

"They could be useful." "No violence." "I must have them alive!" " They've slipped the net." " They might turn up again." "We've got to find a new headquarters." "How about my apartment?" "It's quieter." "Much more discreet." "Yes, Major." "I'm at Steed's place." " They've escaped." " I know." "The Major called." "Well, don't worry." "I'll be ready for them if they turn up." "(Sighs) Been having a ball." "The last of my '47." "And not even chilled." " Now, Steed, don't get irate!" " Irate ..." "My cigars!" "They've been smoking my cigars!"

"Dr V Krelmar." ""The Manor House, Hambledon."" "Well, I'm sure we made the right decision." "We're going to have fun, Lola." "Lots of fun." " In separate apartments?"

"Force you to what?" "(Groans)" "And if you want further proof ... (Whispers)" "Ooh." "Mrs Peel." "Well, at least I'm back to normal." "Yes, and what about me?" "Did you do it?" " I ..." "I had some trouble." " But you destroyed the machine?" "No." "Krelmar stopped me." "He said it was his brain child." "Krelmar stopped you?" "I'd give you the pleasure of dealing with him." "Oh ..." "I know there have been some changes lately, but there are certain things about Lola I don't want you to change." "Hadn't we better deal with Krelmar?" "How's it feel to be back home?" "Tulip calling B, Tulip calling B." "(Major) 'Come in, Tulip.'" "I've located both agents." "The Manor House, Hambledon." "I'm going in." "Not to my taste." "Nor is your perfume." "(Groans)" "Well ... that's hurt him more than it did me." "Does that solve your problem?" "(Car approaching)" "My pleasure, remember?" "This way, Steed." "Steed?" "I shall have to get used to calling you that now." "Not in private." "Let's hear it Lola." "Let's hear my own name." "(Cocks gun)" "What's my name?" "It's the real Mrs Peel, isn't it?" "Sorry." "I far prefer Lola." "(Cocks gun)" "Sorry!" "Look out for that machine!" "Look out, Basil!" "Thanks!" "(Car approaching)" "The chair." "Quick!" " Can you work it?" " I think so." "(Machine whirring)" "Right." "Start counting ... now." "One, two, three, four, five, six ... seven, eight ... nine   ten." "(Switches off machine)" "All right, stand back." "Steed, Mrs Peel, not too late?" "Almost too early." "Ah, good!" "Yes, cunning pair, these two." "Tried to pretend they were you." "(Both) Us?" "(Buzzes)" "Thank you, Mrs Peel." "Oh ... don't tell me they got the entire network." "Hardly, but the survivors delivered these personally." " You are popular." " It happens to be a special occasion." " Does it?" " It does." "Well, don't tell me." "Easter's gone." "Can't be Mother's Day." "It's too warm for Christmas." "It couldn't be someone's birthday?" "It could." "Ah, well, I suppose one should never take a man for granted." "I quite agree." "But flowers are so commonplace." "Now my idea of a celebration is to take wing on a flight to Paris, an aperitif at Lafayette, dinner in Montmartre, liquors in the moonlight at Saint-Tropez." "I do so agree." "Start packing, Mrs Peel." "Already have." "One should never take a man for granted, but one does." "Come along, Basil baby." "Coming, honey child."
