Do you have an appointment?

No, but I'm sure he'll see me.

John Steed, from the Ministry.

One moment.

What is it?

Mr. Steed is here to see you.

He says he's from the Ministry.

Send him in. I'll see him.

-Go through, please.

-Thank you.

Kind of you to see me.

-I'm very busy. You did say the Ministry?

-about Project 90.

and broadcast power.

Is it possible?

Your Ministry doesn't think so.

But you do.

I spent years proving it.

all it got me was the sack.

-Dr. Creswell thinks it wasn't fully proved.

-Dr. Creswell doesn't think.

Why are you so sure

about broadcast power?

Why are you so interested?

Because someone has been trying

to destroy all trace of Project 90.

and those who worked on it.

I heard about Bryant and Grey.

accidents, they said.

No accidents.

Yesterday Maurice Jubert was murdered.

Well?

You seem to be taking it calmly.

I'm busy and I don't believe a word.

I can assure you they were not accidents.

I don't doubt it.

But not because of Project 90.

The applications of broadcast power

are quite ordinary.

There was no motive for murder

in the work we did.

You could be mistaken.

Very well, I'll show you.

as simply as possible.

This device here produces static electricity.

a development of a Windshurst machine?

That makes things easier.

The electrostatic energy is converted

to a high-frequency wave here.

Fed into this transmitter.

and just about ready.

You see this electric fan?

No wires, no hidden batteries, but...

Observe.

No power source other than the energy

I'm broadcasting.

That's very strange.

Dr. Grey was designing a fan

when he was murdered?

Doesn't mean a thing. This is the

equipment we used on the project.

Hardly the ultimate weapon.

-What if the...

-Do be careful.

What if the range in power were unlimited?

and it could be unlimited.

If we'd been given time to develop it

you could power anything.

Cars, aircraft, entire cities.

Creswell never believed in it.

Treated it like a toy.

But he surely gave

the authorisation for the research?

Forced us into a demonstration

we were against.

You failed?

I knew we'd fail.

We weren't ready.

at least Creswell got the sack

along with the rest of us.

What are you doing here?

Still developing broadcast power?

Wish I was.

This is a commercial outfiit.

I spend most of my time tarting up

stereophonic sound and radar.

Whenever I get the chance,

I'll return to this.

I should be careful.

I have a feeling someone has another use

for broadcast power.

Know anyone who wants to buy

a vintage Bentley...

...in the newtwo-tone

shade of green and slightly singed?

I have survived an electrifying

experience and I'll swap the details...
