The New Avengers (1976–1977): Season 1, Episode 1 - The New Avengers - full transcript

Welcome my brothers.

God bless you all.

As you know we are,
but a day or so away from ...

... away from
the most auspicious event ...

... in our calendar April 19th

Sanctuary. Sanctuary!

Forgive me father.

He goes back his business.

Mr.Stanner,
you surely cannot deny this.

You can spare yourself more pain ago.
Tell us who sent you here

I told you, I was out fishing.



Looked like a storm blowing up.

And I made for the nearest land
this island ...

... so it was purely fortuitous, hmm?
- Yes.

Fortuitous indeed. That's for us,
not for you, Mr. Stanner.

You haven't seen my Posey Poof?

I see a dog?
I'm sorry I can't help.

If you see him,
you'll bring in the right back.

I would indeed.

Posey Poof?

Stannard?

George?

Oh, you find my pursy pup.

Would you mind picking him up for me?

I'm absolute grateful.



Pursy is my only company.
- No matter if excuse me.

It's so nice when people ...

... help each other nowadays.

You've made an old woman
very happy.

- Gambit.
- Steed.

- I want Purdy.
- Who doesn't.

She's not answering the phone.
You live just around the corner

- Okay where.
- I stand apartment.

Purdey

Good morning, Purdy.
I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?

Duty calls?
And you have not been answering.

You went to preschool too early.

Don't look at me like that.

I tipped you out of bed.
Not into it

41
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,030G
Good night, Gambit.

Yeah.

I never went to pre school.
- I need my beauty sleep

There's a lot of things
you do need,

but that is not one of them.
Definitely not.

Mike Gambit, one of these days ...

I know.
I'm looking forward to it.

What's it about?

Stannard.

Ladies and gentlemen,

May I introduce a most distinguished guest
in Germany, Dr. Maybach von Claus.

Thank you.

I should explain that
I am von Claus.

And this is advert,
but of the two of us.

Albert is surely the most important.

As no doubt, you are aware.
It is not unheard of for hibernate ...

... or a amphibians such as this.

The common frog to remain ...

... quite naturally
in a state of suspended animation

... for periods of many years.

The common frog,
but Albert here is ...

... a very uncommon frog.
Nor is his extremely ...

... chilly condition a natural one.

Albert is the hub of a scientifically
controlled experiment.

Ten years ago I froze him,

but hopefully not to death.

With resuscitation techniques
that I wish to demonstrate to you now.

I intention to bring
Albert back again ...

... to the land of the living
without pain.

And not the worst for his experience.

It was just an informal visit
to George Stannard ...

... at a final briefing.
Then I was clobbered.

There was no George
and I was worried.

That's why I sent for you Purdy.

- Your special knowledge
- Knowledge is what?

George.
Didn't you in here?

Certainly not.
George is a gentleman.

What's that got to do with it?

Yes, there's no criterion.

If it were, all of us it'd be extinct.

George took me out to dinner
a couple of times that's all.

Final briefing, what for?

Von Claus lecture, routine security.
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,700
I'm handling.

Any lead of him with it?

Black Mercedes.

He can't help him.

May be.

G?r?yor musun?
Anorak, waitis, deep sea lines.

All gone

That means he's gone.
Fishing.

And you know where.

Welcome back to Albert.

Already in America.
The dead are being placed ...

... into cold storage.
Against that day ...

... when we can awaken them.
People who a few years ago ...

... would have been pronounced dead

are now being kept alive.
Artificially, indefinitely.

Albert, points us ...

... the way to many miracles.
Asleep. Living death if you wish.

And then controlled resuscitation.

And awakening them from the death.

We walked on the moon,

but to go
on other planets,

we need to find the way

to make astronauts travel
for nearly a hundred years.

I think we are, but one step away
from achieving that. Thank you.

Now Ladies and Gentelmen,
Drinks have been served.

Mike Gambit. I'm with Steed.
Question?

What is this stuff
they serving anyway?

- Claus. In honor of Dr. von Claus.
- Lousy.

A versatile drink.

Yes, they used to run
their bombers on it ...

... during the war.

The ones who didn't come back.

Was that your question?
- No. The black Merc.

Any idea who it belongs to?

I am not the valet parking, Gentleman.

What a pity.
Because he would know.

Find out for me, will you?

There's a good Brown-Fitch.

That is one of the many problems
we have yet to solve.
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,700
You pardon.

Your Germany is excellent,
but forgive me see accent.

I cannot place the district.

Then perhaps, we'd better
speak in English, I doubt.

That the most illuminating lecture.

However there are
two or three points ...

... I would take issue one.

It's about time
you're lost got it together

I found up. There more than
one would expect of course.

What do you mean?

The black Mercedes.
I have checked and trace the owner.

- And?
- It's one of your lot. Stannard.

You mean Stannard here?
George Stannard?

Over there by the window.
With Doctor von Claus.
00:13:25,500 --> 00:23:30,000
Brown Hifen-Fitch. Is Fitch
smaller or big one? - The bigger.

There's a white car behind us.

We're being followed.

- There's always a possibility.
- We agree.

The next time, you have to die,
die properly.

I'm going to ask you
some questions now.

And you're going to answer them.

You're gonna answer them.

Because when you're trying to kill me,

you throw away
the rule book, understand?
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,700
Open your mouth. Spit it out.
Spit it out!

Yes, I rigidness
the sound of the boat yesterday.

He went straight up.

Let stayed out all night?

- He would.
- Why?

- Because I told him to.
- Why did you?

- Curse on the deep sea bass
- Deep sea bass? - Well.

Well you handle that rod.
You're a fishy man yourself.

Should have said it before.

The deep sea bears are
prolific at this time here.

Early morning, late at night.

That's the best time.
- Yeah. You are fishy man.

It's your outfit who deceived me.

Good strong wrists.
what will you get it?

Tuna fish?
- Or pulling champagne corks.

I searched George's hotel room.

- Nothing
- You worried about Mr.Stannard?

- Not exactly.
- I should think not.

He knows every point here.
Even if not,

... my boat takes him
to his destination.

He's here now.
I know that note anywhere.

Something wrong.
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,300
There was a mark on him.
Nor a scratch.

It was. just here.
Can I borrow your lipstick?
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:51,800
Lipstic?

- What a pretty shade of pink.
- Pink, school since I've been used.

So this is a color,
not accusation.
00:18:00,585 --> 00:18:01,700
Now have a look.

The boat came from the northwest.

Now, what's directly Northwester here?

- America
- Besides America.

- There is island called St Dorca.
- Dorca? What's happened there?

It was mostly fishing, before the war.

Until the war since then
the brothers run it.

- A sort of retreat
- Brothers.

Fathers of St.Dorca. A holy order. Monks.
Now there are residents.

Become ashore wasn't a while.

The by provisions and sell extract.

Dorca fish extracted.

Sort of preservatives.

- Fish poisoning.
- That's it poor George ...

... stand of died fish poisininig.
But how?

Because of eat one
or too many herring fish?

- Do you have to do that?
- But it helped to Sherlock Holmes..

Let's face it.
We need help at the moment.

George gone, John von Claus has
disappeared ...

... dead end
- Very dead.

Our German friends have been
very cooperative and efficient ...

... as usual.
But it doesn't help.

This belonged to a Nazi commander
Fritz Gunner, in December 1942.

- Do we know if he is now?
- Missing presumed dead.

Gunnar was on der Der Adler flight k7.

The last planes to leave Berlin in 45.

Just before the Russians arrived.

Neither he or the plane
have been heard of since.

- Oh, that's the violin.
- There's a link Steed.

German gun, von Claus

- Yes, I know. The link to where or what?
- The autopsy report ...

... of our man makes fun too.

Fish poisoning.
Probably a concentrated ...

extract from the poison sack ...

... of the jellyfish.
- An extract. Steed.

The monks of St.Dorca
specialize in fish extracts.

Monks.
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,000
Did you say monks?

For one moment
that the young men of this island ...

... had friends such a thing
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:16,700
I can't deny this.
Unforgivable.

Our only consolation ...

... is they meant well
- Meant well. I am kidnapped, dragged ...

Yes, yes. I agree that,
but the reason for their act ...

... is purely altruistic take some.
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:31,000
Doctor. Doctor,
please come down.

Take some tea with me.
- Tea? But probably half the ...

country is looking for me.
I want to tell you ...

Unfortunately we have ...

... no telephone meet
with the mainland.

But I have arranged for a boat ...

... to be made ready
for your return.

Meanwhile. I would appreciate
to your opportunity of explaining.
00:20:54,350 --> 00:20:55,700
I can insisit.
00:20:56,900 --> 00:20:58,900
Dr. von Clauss,
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,900
Some weeks ago ...
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,500
... one of our most brillant brother
fell into coma.
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,900
All our efforts to revive him
have failed.
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,500
- But other doctors?
- Indeed.
00:21:09,900 --> 00:21:13,500
Some monks still have medical mentals.
Already right equipments.
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,500
But we'll do that your brillance.
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Doctor, Doctor.
You must understand.
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,100
Man in coma is deep in loved.
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,500
He's some kind of Saint.
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,800
This is why ...
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,500
... this man done
such desperate madness.

But why didn't they just come up
and ask me?

Would you've come?

yard?m edece.

How long you could
cost them to deal with.

Until a boat is being
made ready to serv.

- Yes.
- well, while I'm waiting,

I might as well
take a look at this man.

Mr.Jud. Mr.Jud.

- This is brother Bury
- Dr. von Claus

Brother Bury heads
our medical team.

You have done well.
Excellent method ...

... of coagulation.
- Thank you.

Would it be too optimistic to say.

I will enjoy working with you.
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Patient's story?
Thank you.

We need hyper thermal equipment.

And sensitizers.
- I anticipated that.

They're on their way.

I will enjoy working with you.
Where can I get ready?

A stranger.

And it looks like
he's planning a long stay.

Oh, just one day or two.
doesn't like to do that ...

... without few life's necessities.

Which way is my room?
- Oh, tWe take care of your luggage, sir.

We're famous for the hospitality.

A drink awaits you after a long journey.
- We'll search everything.

Snow shoes

It's either an eccentric.

That insane.
I don't know what to make of it.

What do you think of these?
Found on the North Beach.

Buried. Hidden.
- Take a look.

This could have
something to do with Stannard.
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,100
- It could have. On the other hand ...
- Let's take look on the beach.
00:25:02,665 --> 00:25:05,816
If I were you ask to Hara
Maybe he saw someone.

Is that old tar?

If he saw something,
he's already forgotten it by now.

direct injection into the heart.

If he responds,
then we will have to restore

... his body temperature ...
to normal.

Gradually, but as quickly as possible.

You understand of course.
This is ...

... the most crucial moment.
This is where we'll fail ...

... or the road we'll
open to success.

Oxygen.

Hello
- Oh, dear.

You're Mr. Hara, aren't you?

Mister? No one called me mister
for a long time.

They laughing at me for keep
forgetting things. - Who doesn't?

You forget things, do you?
- Sometimes.

I forgot.
what we're talking about about

- Forgetting things.
- Oh, oh, yeah.

I do not forget everything.

There are things I'd like to forget.
- what kind of things?
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,900
You'd like to forget?

One big bird.
- What big bird?
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:43,500
Bird. What bird?

Bird you were telling me about.
- Oh ...

.. Yeah, well,
it suddenly appeared in the sky.

By flying very low, as in the song.

A real fireball.
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,300
Visitation.

- When was this?
- Oh, is what?
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,500
The big bird.

- Which bird?
- That fell from the sky.

- Oh, you saw it, did you?
- Yes, but I can't remember when.

Oh, you forgot that thing.

Oh, bad habit.
It should during the war.

A terrible war between someone
and someone else somewhere.

Big Bird came the sky.
They buried it.

They buried it.
- Do you know where?

Oh, yes. It'll take me a minute
to get you there. - Really?
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:39,900
But if I can remember where.
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,800
Pulse speed is steadily.
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,700
You done it Doctor.

We have done it.
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,700
Father Trasker.
Father Trasker.
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,700
You cut corners, doctor.

You take immense brilliant risks.

Risks I would never dare to take.

You brought this man
back from the dead.

I think you are the only doctor
in the world who go to done this.

But you are weary.
Desperately tired.

Doctor, you're boat is ready,

but I insisted you rest a while ...

... before you make the trip.
- Yeah, I guess that would be better.

The pacemaker must be kept constant.
- Do not worry.

I will remain with him.
Go now doctor, rest. - Of course, sir.
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,500
If I remember rightly,
It supposed to be here
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:11,900
Or there. Or here.
Or.. or ...
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,800
If you remember rightly?
- They didn't have time to bury in deep.
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,500
I remember that
Big bird was end of field.
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:25,800
They said that it is the
greatest treasure in the world.
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:28,700
They took the treasure away.
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,600
Greatest treasure in the world!

Of course Mr. Gambit.
All flight records ...

... are efficiently recorded.

Which flight did you have in mind?
- Der Adler flight k7
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:44,900
April 1945?

- Oh, yes.
- I don't have to find the file that one.

Is that so?
- I know it by heart.

The flight Der Adler K7
left Berlin at 22:30 ...

April 29, 1945.
Are you of German origin? - What?

You're so attractive and handsome.
Surely have some ...

... German in you somewhere?

- Sorry.
- Never mind. I like English men too.

And I am free for dinner tonight.

Where was it heading?
Flight k7.

South America.
I'll show you.
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:16,800
The shape of your jaw lines,
your square shoulders ...
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,100
South America.

Mr Gambit. This was the last
recorded flight out of Berlin ...

... before the surrender.
Where else could have it been going?

Your eyes have a small ...

... Bavarian side.
- I think you're lovely too.
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,000
Who was on board the plane?
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,300
Probably no one else in essential crew.
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,200
And greateset treasury of Germany.
That is a rumor.
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:40,400
Or do they call it
the treasures of Germany?
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:42,300
That is just a rumor, Mr Gambit.
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:44,200
And comfirmed.
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:45,700
What happened to flight K7?

The last radio message
pinpointed it at here.

Mid-atlantic and heading west.
It must have been shot down.

But as you can see,
there's nothing here.

She lies down
the bottom of the ocean.

Are you sure don't have German blood?
- I have that.

- I knew it. - I took three bullets
scrambing the wall last year.

Your people gave me a transfusion.

Dinner tonight ..
is out of the question.

Saturday perhaps? - I'll wait your call.
- You're wrong, you know.

there's nothing there.
there is ...

... a tiny island. St. Dorca
00:33:00,205 --> 00:33:03,959
Germany's greatest treasure is found on
that island after the plane crashes.
00:33:04,285 --> 00:33:05,718
How would you do, Steed?
00:33:07,125 --> 00:33:08,114
Difficult Question.
00:33:09,245 --> 00:33:11,805
I'd accept it without question, honesty.
00:33:12,165 --> 00:33:14,599
They killed any survivors
to keep the pocket alive.
00:33:14,885 --> 00:33:16,603
The people of the island did it.
00:33:16,805 --> 00:33:19,365
poor Stannard
discovered it by chance and ...

I can make the equation.

The thing now is to prove it.

You shouldn't do that when a
lot of people are going to see it.

They might think
you're talking through your hat.
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,500
Is that Purdy?
What's she doing?

Just hanging about.
I've been touch, Gambit.
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,000
I found that aeroplane.
Der Adler.
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,500
And I know all about now.

Germany's greatest treasure
- Yes, how did you know?

- That's Gambas theory to
- Theory? There's no explanation.

Perhaps. Doesn't explain
why they snatched von Claus.

- You can took my hand to enter there.
- You can't do that.

Gentleman's bedroom is very very dangerous.
- But you're no gentleman.

That's one of those dangerous lies.
Good night, Purdy.
00:34:06,005 --> 00:34:08,235
- And another think ...
- We must find von Claus.

von Claus.
Dr. von Claus!

He is not responding, Doctor.
Relapse.

The pacemaker is working?
Well, how this happened?

He left back in to coma.

Let's start the process again.

He's still alive.

Doctor, I am ready to go through
the whole technique again.

- I'm ready doctor.
- This is not the same man.

Dr.Claus this is not possible been.
- This is not the same man.

You must be exhausted.
Perhaps, if rest a little longer,

I can maintain watch here.
- Show me his face.

- Doctor.
- Show me his face.
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,700
- Oh, my god
- No. Dr. von Claus.

This is folisness
- we need him on home.

No, no, no. He will learn just how
determined we are.

doctor, you will do as we say it.

This is hideous. Obscene.
It is the future.

it is the past.
the past to let die.
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
To let die.

It is a pity you saw through
a little deception.

Had it worked, you might
now be on your way home.

And none the wiser.

As it is. You must stay
and work to our orders.

You will have to kill me first.
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,700
Kill you?

My dear doctor,
you are indispensable to us.

We cannot kill you.
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,200
But you do have a wife.

And three very attractive daughters.

Oh yes, in Germany.

And then we still have
a few friends in Germany.

So that is concluded.
See? Absolutely no choice

We have moved the patient back ...

... to it's own quarters.
Quarters no fitting,

but such a person.
You will conduct ...

... your first examination there.

monkey business.

Oh Mr. Steed.
I thought you'd be asleep ...

... by this time, sir.
- So couldn't sleep.

Stroll outside may help, I think.
- Oh, I wouldn't do that ...

... if I were you sir no no, sir.
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:08,500
- No?
- No, sir.

- Chilled night.
- Don't worry about that.

I've got a warm nature.

You're get in bad habits.

You're lucky.
- I am ?

We're bait our hooks
to kill or sleep.

Lucky for you
I fancied using the latter.
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:41,500
Because I fancied other things.

Naughty?
I knew the feeling.

- You do?
- Fancy things.

Right now I fancy.
A steak au poivre.

Preferably, George V, in Paris.

I found this.
Know when and why?

Oh, yes. Look. You're probably
gonna find this ...

rather difficult to believe,
but I ...

I can't remember.
I can't remember a thing.

I must have bumped my head
or something.

Thanks for putting me up.

And oh, thank you for everything.
I think, now I really must go.

brothers, brothers of sigdoc.

As you know tomorrow is
the 20th of April. A birthday.

And a rebirth. Brothers.
On April 20th 1889.

It came amongst us a man.

Who was to change
the face of the world.

He is still with us.
And tomorrow. On the very day of ...

... his birth.
He will be restored to us.

I asked you now to honor him.

I ask you to cast aside
these trappings we have ...

... presented to the world
for so many years.

To cast them aside
and stand proudly.

As we most truly are.

Rule Britannia.
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:46,500
- Steed.
- Purdy?

Come on, get me out of here.

Get you out.
I'm in the cell next door.

You think the whole thing

What's going on, Steed?
- Wish I knew.

Nazis. 1889. Von Clauss ?

You were one of the original group.
- There were forty two of us ...

... while the plane crashed here.

Men and women.
All of us dedicated to the F?hrer.

The whole island.
How did you manage that?

It's not so difficult.
We almost had ...

... numbers of population.
s

All those young men
on the way to war.

All these simple women,
children and a few old men ...

... can be overcome.
Those who submitted to our will ...

... were allowed to survive.

And the rest were slaughtered?
- More used for experimentation.

The end justifies the means.

Oh, yes, that battle cry has been ...

... excuse for a great deal of bloodshed.

This island is ours now, doctor.

Over the years,
we have populated and control it.

It is ours now.
- Last best unit Nazi German.
00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:55,000
No, first.

From here we will spread ...

... and grow and conquer again.
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,500
With your proffessional assistance.
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Karl here will be watching your
every move, Doctor.
00:43:10,00 --> 00:43:12,500
One force move.

And think of your wife ...

... and those three pretty daughters.
00:43:29,285 --> 00:43:33,164
Time saves us surprises:
we announce a storm.
00:43:33,365 --> 00:43:35,435
Low pressures
over the Atlantic ...

They probably kill us, weren't they?

I do fear they have something rather

permanent in mind, yes.

Steed, I want to confess.
- The habit was just as disguise.

I didn't really think you like ...

... St. Paul's Cathedral.
- What?

Gambit thinks that
you're old-fashioned,

But I said, suppose you are.
Isn't St. Paul's.

But you persuasive a very long time.

You are to be executed immediately!
- Oh, Thank goodness.

You brought it to me gently.
Heil! - Heil!
00:44:27,500 --> 00:44:30,000
One of my old-fashioned tricks.

Whatever's going on,
it's going on there.

I loath violence.
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:17,000
And loud gunshots made me blink.
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,700
Where did you learn that,
Royal Marines?
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:55,500
Royal Ballet.
They trough me out.

What did yo do? Lamed the leading man
after the party does? - Too tall.

The direct injection
into the heart.

Yes, seconds away.
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:38,500
Please gentlemen.

Dr. von Claus. Don't know
what you're doing here.

But I imagine
you're under some of duress.

Would you kindly move out
of the line of fire?

No, he will die.
A man will die.

- Is this true, Doctor?
- There is a man in coma here, yeah.

He has been in coma
since April 1945.

The result of an air crash.
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,300
And continue?

You had not yet seen who this man is.

He is dead.

No. Comatose.
In a state of suspended animation.

Every organ of his body is ...

... perfectly preserved.

Kept alive artificially.
- Every organ.

He looks awfully well.

Germany's greatest treasury.
- Nazi Germany.

You see.
Now, I welcome your intrusion.

You will continue, Herr Doctor.

The gun you hold
is taken from ...

... one of my men.
Ammunition has been a precious ...

... commodity here for many years.

Give us advise other ways of killing.

The gun, remains merely ..
a method of intimidation.

They are seldom loaded.
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,000
And this one is ...
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:01,500
You will continue, Herr Doctor.

Store our glorius leader to us.
So that he may lead us again.

This time to victory.
Continue her Doctor.

Complete your work.

This is a Smith and Wesson.
Magnum 38.

I loaded it myself this morning.

If you pull the trigger,
it fires into target.

Karl, it must go on.
It is important. - Yes.

You promise me.
- I promise.

My life means nothing, but his ...
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:06,700
No.
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,600
No. No.
