The Girl Who Was Death
"The Girl Who Was Death" is an episode of the allegorical British science fiction TV series The Prisoner. It was written by Terence Feely and directed by David Tomblin and was the sixteenth produced. It was broadcast in the UK on ITV (Scottish Television) on Thursday 18 January 1968 (and a day later on ATV Midlands and Grampian) and aired in the United States on CBS on 7 September 1968.
The episode starred Patrick McGoohan as Number Six and Kenneth Griffith in the first of two episodes he appeared in. According to several sources, including The Prisoner by Robert Fairclough, this episode was adapted from an unused, two-part script originally commissioned for Danger Man.
A cricket match ends in a player (Colonel Hawke-Englishe) being assassinated with a bomb disguised as a cricket ball. Number Six is on an operational assignment, but it is unclear whether this is "real time", pre-The Village, or possibly another induced hallucination.
Secret messages are passed to him at a shoeshine box. In a record shop, he receives an assignment to find a Professor Schnipps who has been working on a rocket that will destroy all of London. It turns out that Colonel Hawke-Englishe was investigating the matter, which is why he was assassinated. He picks up where Colonel Hawke-Englishe left off in another match, but manages to avoid the same fate. He finds a note to meet a mysterious person at the local pub; while there, he drinks from a glass that says You have just been poisoned. He then drinks numerous spirits to vomit out the poison.
When he goes to the restroom, he gets another message to meet at the Turkish bath. While he is relaxing, a mysterious figure locks his stall and places a plastic dome over his head. Avoiding death, he now gets another message to go to the carnival, to the local fight.
At the fight, he is picked for the next match and told by his opponent (whom he beats) to go to the tunnel of love. He then hears the voice of a woman, which is a recording in his boat that is rigged with explosives. He tracks down, and is tracked by, a seductive woman called Sonia, who identifies herself as "Death". She drives away from the amusement park, with Number Six in pursuit.
They come to an abandoned village, where Sonia has set traps. He evades all of them, goes into a shed to avoid being shot, and drives a bulldozer to try to reach Sonia. Sonia destroys it with a rocket launcher and departs, assuming she has killed Number Six.
Number Six tracks Sonia to a lighthouse where Schnipps (dressed as Napoleon) and his associates are based. His lieutenants are dressed in Grande Armée uniforms and represent an apparently anti-London alliance composed of Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and Northern (particularly Yorkshire) marshals.
