32 CLOSEUP ON EMMA'S DIAMOND RING

gleaming thru a tear of blood as she pounds the glass --

33 BACK TO SCENE

PETER:

(faint)

Emma ... Emma ...

As a GROWLING sound grows till

BOOM! An EXPLOSION rocks the vault -- flames burst out -- sound and vision

separate -- Emma hears explosion as a slow moving tear thru her psyche. A trauma.

34 ANGLE (IN EXTREME SLOW MOTION)

The blast flings Emma back thru space, flying unconscious as if in a dream, floating

backwards in --

A milky way op-art swirl of glass and steel fragments, now -- out of control,

weightless, powerless, as --

The background of sealed doors, white corridors all vanish. A spinning, black void

opens up behind her, as her eyes shut, head falls back --

An orgasmic, dream of near-death, as a CRASH OF MUSIC BEGINS a hip new

version of the "AVENGERS" THEME TUNE --

CREDITS SEQUENCE.

35 SERIES OF SHOTS

In stark silhouette The swishing of a bowler hat spinning thru space

An umbrella tossed in the air, flicked like a deadly weapon --

A rich velvety feel, key colors black/white/red. Dandyish and erotic followed by blasts

of violence, dreamy op-art puzzles and psychedelic patterns over --

A sensuous BLACK, background -- slowly revealed to be a woman's leather-clad

body --

In silhouette -- A bowler hatted man, Steed, a catsuited woman Emma. Flashes of:

hair -- eye -- a red rose -- in bloom -- petals folding and unfolding, then tightly shut.

A thorned stem, sharp to the touch --

FROM black and white INTO color -- leather Background metamorphosing into black

and white of a chessboard as ...

A medieval knight moves around its queen in a formal dance --

A fetishistic attention to detail: leather catsuit, swish of legs, boots ... hair tossed

back - - red nails over black ... creamy white skin ... zips ...

A silhouetted man in bowler hat in Savile Row suit -- old Etonian knotted tie --

umbrella stabs like a sword --

Umbrella with knotted stems of a rose furling round -- then a tear, gash -- rose cut and

tossed into --

His lapel. Until, at the end: together in silhouette.

Bowler hat thrown, skimming, swishing thru air, until --

Now only a single HEARTBEAT ... BA-BOOM ... BA-BOOM ...

Then --

PISTOL SHOTS OVER as:

36 INT. EMMA'S BEDROOM - PRE-DAWN

A gasp as Emma wakes abruptly from her nightmare, years later, startled by the shots,

naked beneath satin sheets. Her HEARTBEAT FADES as she looks around her Klaus

Oldenberg room, vinyl comforter, satin sheets. A toss of her hair.

Looks more mature. Sexual, haunted. Mrs. Emma Peel -- widow.

Same every night. Next to the clock, a framed photo of her dead husband, Peter Peel.

From outside ANOTHER SHOT ...
