Recap

At a cricket match, agent Potter is acting as scorekeeper and removes a pair of binoculars from a bag and spots an attractive woman dressed in white. He also watches the bowler, Colonel Hawkes, who winks at him in acknowledgement. The bowler knocks his ball into the nearby bushes as the woman in white slips away and replaces the ball with one of her own. The next swing the bowler takes, the ball explodes. The woman in white watches from the treeline...

Episode Notes
Patrick McGoohan (Number Six) does not have any dialogue for over twenty minutes in this episode.

This was the second to the last episode of the series filmed. The last was the finale, "Fall Out".

Kenneth Griffith (Schnipps/Number Two) would later play the President of the Assembly in "Fall Out".

Along with "Living in Harmony", this is one of only two episodes in which Angelo Muscat (The Butler) does not appear.

Number Two is not seen in the opening credit sequence, to hide the fact that Dr. Schnipps is in fact Number Two.

Episode Quotes
Killer Karminski: Eh, take it easy, sir, will you? Me face is me fortune. You might knock it back into shape!

Sonia: (to Mr. X) I love you madly. I love the way the hair curls on the back of your neck. You'll make a beautiful corpse. I'm going to do you the honour of letting you die superbly.

Sonia: You are a born survivor. I am a born killer. We were made for each other.

Sonia: Mountaineering rope. It would hold an elephant.
Mr. X: I must remember that next time I go climbing with one.

Dr. Schnipps: (to Mr. X) I say... you're not the Duke of Wellington, are you?

Sonia: You see, when the roocket reaches London, you will be the first to know! Won't that be exciting?!?
Mr. X: I'll just go to pieces.

Number Two: That one wouldn't drop his guard with his own grandmother!

Number Six: Goodnight children...everywhere.
