Woman: HEY, BONNIE.

HOW DOES CHINESE FOOD SOUND FOR LUNCH?

OH, I THOUGHT I'D SURPRISE MY BOYFRIEND

AND TAKE HIM OUT TO LUNCH.

LAST NIGHT HE LET IT SLIP

THAT HE WAS WORKING OVER ON CONNECTICUT AVENUE.

SO I FIGURED...

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK

YOU'VE TAKEN HIM OUT TO LUNCH.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO

BRIBE HIM WITH QUICHE LORRAINE?

THAT ISN'T FUNNY, JOAN.

IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THEIR LUNCH BREAK IN THERE TILL 12:30.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES.

YOU THINK YOU'RE STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO CRACK THAT SAFE

WITHOUT USING THE PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE?

WITH THIS LITTLE BABY ALONG

IT'LL BE A LEAD PIPE CINCH.

UH-HUH, WELL.

JUST IN CASE YOU CAN'T...

THAT SHOULD CREATE A NICE LITTLE DIVERSIONARY EFFORT

WHILE YOU BLOW IT OPEN.

I REALLY WISH WE DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE

ALL THESE EXPLOSIVES AROUND.

THE ODDS ARE A MILLION TO ONE

AGAINST THIS GOING OFF BY ITSELF.

WILL YOU RELAX?

WE GOT A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE WE SNEAK IN.

LET'S GET A CUP OF COFFEE.

MAYFIELD'S RISKING AN AWFUL LOT

OF EQUIPMENT ON THIS JOB.

WONDER WHAT HE THINKS HE'S GOING TO GET OUT...

MARK!

MARK! WHO'S THAT?

SOME BROAD I'VE BEEN DATING FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DUMP HER.

SHE'S HANGING ON LIKE POISON IVY.

HI. HOW ARE YOU?

( groans )

( fire crackling )

( thunderclap )

* WONDER WOMAN *

* WONDER WOMAN *

* WONDER WOMAN *

* WONDER WOMAN *

* WONDER WOMAN *

( Bonnie shouting )

WILL YOU STOP BABBLING

AND KEEP RUNNING!

GET IN HERE.

WHAT ARE YOUR BOSSES GOING TO SAY

WHEN THEY FIND OUT I BLEW UP YOUR VAN?

YOU DID NOT CAUSE THAT VAN TO EXPLODE.

NO, NOT DIRECTLY,

BUT I HAVE THIS TALENT FOR DISASTERS.

I'M ALWAYS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE WHEN SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.

REMEMBER THE TIME WE WENT BOATING ON CHESAPEAKE BAY?

I LOST MY BALANCE.

IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYBODY.

WHAT ABOUT THE TIME ON MY COUCH?

MY BACK WENT OUT-- I SAID I WAS SORRY.

THE TIME WE WENT SKIING.

LOOK, LOOK, LOOK...

THE MOUNTAIN JUST FELL ON US.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS.

YOU GUYS CAN FLAP YOUR JAWS ALL DAY

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE

BEFORE THEY FIND OUT WHAT'S IN THAT VAN.

( grunts )

( moans )

SEE? YOU SEE THIS?

I AM A JINX!

Trevor: THESE LITTLE PIECES OF FRENCH FRIED MACHINERY

WERE FOUND IN A GUTTED VAN

THAT EXPLODED OUTSIDE OF J&R ELECTRONICS TODAY.

HAVE THE LAB BOYS I.D.'d THESE?

YEAH. THIS LITTLE ITEM HERE

IS A SUPER SENSITIVE LISTENING DEVICE

THAT, IN THE RIGHT HANDS

COULD BE USED TO CRACK OPEN

EVEN THE MOST SOPHISTICATED COMBINATION LOCKED VAULT.

LIKE THE ONE IN J&R ELECTRONICS?

RIGHT.

BUT THE IMPORTANT THING, DIANA

IS THAT THAT LISTENING DEVICE IS ONE OF SEVERAL

THAT WAS STOLEN FROM A GOVERNMENT RESEARCH LAB ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S RUMORED TO BE THE WORK OF WILLIAM MAYFIELD

ONE OF THE BEST WHITE COLLAR THIEVES IN THE BUSINESS.

HE SPECIALIZES IN RARE ITEMS, ONE OF A KIND.

LIKE TOURING INCA TREASURES, OR PROTOTYPE WEAPONRY

THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

I TAKE IT THAT NO ONE'S EVER CAUGHT HIM WITH THE GOODS?

NO ONE'S EVER CAUGHT HIM, PERIOD.

ONE OF THE REASONS IS BECAUSE HE'S AN EXPERT STATISTICIAN.

HE'S OBSESSED WITH THE LAW OF PROBABILITY.

I EVEN HEARD THAT HE HAS A FULL-TIME RESEARCH PSYCHOLOGIST

THAT HE RETAINS YEAR-ROUND.

YOU'VE GOT MORE GAMBLING EQUIPMENT HERE, DOCTOR, THAN ATLANTIC CITY.

THE OTHER WAY, PLEASE.

ONE OF MY SPECIAL FIELDS OF INTEREST, MR. REUBEN.

I DID GRADUATE WORK

IN PROBABILITY THEORY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY.

( sighs )

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS.

I, UH, APPRECIATE YOU SEEING US ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

MY ASSOCIATION WITH MR. MAYFIELD

HAS BEEN A VERY FRUITFUL ONE FOR BOTH OF US.

I'M GLAD TO BE OF...

( light bulb explodes )

SERVICE.

SORRY.

WELL, UM, THAT'S QUITE ALRIGHT, MISS MURPHY.

UM, WHY DON'T WE TRY

SOMETHING A LITTLE SAFER

LIKE FLIPPING A COIN?

NOW, IDEALLY, THE COIN SHOULD COME UP HEADS

HALF THE TIME, AND, UH, TAILS THE OTHER.

THOUGH, IN PRACTICE, THE RATIO'S CLOSER TO 60-40.

BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS.

I, UH... I'VE HEARD ABOUT A COIN DOING THAT.

I'VE JUST NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN IT BEFORE.

WELL, TAKE A GOOD LOOK THEN

BECAUSE THE ODDS ARE 1,000 TO ONE

AGAINST YOUR SEEING THAT AGAIN SOON.

MR. REUBEN, IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE EXERT

SUCH INFLUENCE OVER THE ODDS AS YOUR FRIEND.

HOW DOES SHE DO IT?

ONE SCHOOL OF THOUGHT MIGHT ASCRIBE BONNIE'S, UM, GIFT

TO THE SAME UNNATURAL FORCES THAT PRODUCE POLTERGEISTS.

AND STILL ANOTHER TO...

ELECTROCHEMICAL BRAIN IMPULSES.

WHICHEVER IT IS...

SHE BRINGS OUT THE MORE REMOTE POSSIBILITIES

OF A GIVEN SITUATION.

IN MISS MURPHY'S PRESENCE

ALL THE LINES OF PROBABILITY TEND TO CONVERGE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WELL, IT MEANS...

SHE'S A JINX.

RIGHT.

DID YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH, UH, MAYFIELD?

WELL, SORT OF.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "SORT OF"?

WELL, IT'S MORE LIKE HE GOT IN TOUCH WITH US.

HI.

J&R ELECTRONICS HAS SOMETHING IN DEVELOPMENT

BIG ENOUGH TO WARRANT MAYFIELD'S INTEREST?

Affirmative.

A microwave scrambler

capable of transmitting jamming signals

across a wide bandwidth.

It is conceivable that a prototype model

could cut off all telephone

television and radio communication

within an area of 50 square miles.

WHY WOULD A COMMERCIAL ELECTRONICS FIRM

BE DEVELOPING A WEAPON LIKE THAT?

( beeping )

( whirring )

( beeping )

( whirring )

The project has been subcontracted by the Pentagon

for possible military use.

I BETTER TAKE A LOOK AT IT MYSELF THEN.

IF MAYFIELD IS THAT HOT TO GET IT

HE MAY MAKE A SECOND TRY.

AND FROM WHAT YOU'VE SAID, SOUNDS LIKE HIS KIND OF ROBBERY.

TELL ME, IRA...

HOW DO YOU MAKE THOSE COMPUTERS YOU TAP INTO

TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT?

Let us just say, Diana Prince

that my telemetry is exceptional.

( laughs )

OF COURSE.

WELL, I KNOW IT'S HARD TO ACCEPT, MR. MAYFIELD.

BUT SUCH THINGS HAVE BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED

THROUGH THE CENTURIES.

BONNIE MURPHY CAN BEND PROBABILITY CURVES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHY.

I just know that she does.

WELL, THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL, IT SEEMS YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS A JINX AFTER ALL.

OH, WELL, NOT PROFESSIONALLY.

SHE JUST DABBLES, YOU KNOW.

DON'T BE SMUG, MR. REUBEN.

IF I DID NOT HAVE UTTER FAITH IN DR. KOREN'S JUDGMENT

I CAN ASSURE YOU

YOU'D BE FERTILIZING THE CONTINENTAL SHELF.

SO, WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO

WITH THE RECOVERY OF $50,000 WORTH OF STOLEN PROPERTY?

IT DOESN'T.

IT REPLACES $50,000 WORTH OF STOLEN PROPERTY.

YOU SEE, BONNIE'S THE PERFECT DIVERSIONARY WEAPON.

WHENEVER SHE BECOMES NERVOUS OR UPSET

EVERYTHING AROUND HER GOES HAYWIRE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO ROB A BUILDING

IF, SAY, THERE WAS A TEN-CAR COLLISION OUTSIDE

OR A FIRE, OR A FLOOD?

BUT WHAT IF HER AMAZING ABILITIES

WERE TO BACKFIRE ON US?

WELL, WE KEEP HER FAR ENOUGH FROM US TO BE SAFE

BUT NEAR ENOUGH TO CREATE AN INTERESTING DIVERSION.

ALRIGHT, GENTLEMEN.

MARK, UM, I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS.

YOU DRAG ME OUT OF WORK

YOU MAKE ME DRIVE ALL THE WAY BACK HERE...

MARK, YOU LISTENING TO ME?

YOU'RE MAKING ME VERY NERVOUS.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T BE NERVOUS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, NOW?

DON'T BE NERVOUS.

( whimpers )

ARE YOU IN TROUBLE WITH THE PLUMBING COMPANY

BECAUSE I BLEW UP YOUR VAN?

BONNIE, I DON'T WORK FOR THAT COMPANY.

I WORK FOR THE I.A.D.C.

THE I.A.D.C.?

YES. I COULDN'T TELL YOU BEFORE.

NATIONAL SECURITY, YOU KNOW.

BUT THAT VAN WAS PART OF OUR OPERATION, AND YOU DESTROYED IT.

OH, NO.

THAT'S ALRIGHT NOW.

I'M DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO CLEAR YOU.

NOW, IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES

WE'RE GOING TO MEET A FEW OF OUR AGENTS

AND WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IT, SO RELAX.

( breathing heavily )

MARK, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE EXPECTING

THE SKY TO FALL IN ANY MINUTE, OR SOMETHING.

YEAH, THAT'D DO IT.

WHAT?

I SAID... I THINK I SPOTTED

SOME ENEMY AGENTS OVER THERE.

WHERE?

DON'T LOOK. SMILE.

I'M GOING OVER AND CHECK IT OUT.

IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN

JUST... ( kisses her hand )

DON'T BE NERVOUS.

BUT, MARK!

MARK, DON'T LEAVE ME HERE.

MARK, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IF...

( whimpers )

( thunderclap )

( brakes screeching )

ALRIGHT, COME ON.

THEY SAID THE BUILDING MIGHT EXPLODE.

ALRIGHT, EVERYBODY OUT.

( people talking )

Man: DON'T PANIC NOW, COME ON.

Man 2: LEAVE THE BUILDING AS QUICKLY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, GO ON, LEAVE...

Woman: THEY TOLD US TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING.

Man: JUST KEEP GOING.

GET AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE.

Bonnie: MARK?

MARK?

MARK!

MARK? MARK?

Bonnie: MARK?

MARK, WH-WHERE ARE YOU?

MARK?

WHERE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

WHO CARES? LET'S GO.

MARK, WHERE, WHERE ARE YOU?

MARK...

( sirens approaching )

MARK?

MARK?

MARK!

MARK, WHERE ARE YOU?

MARK...

MARK!

MARK... MARK!

Diana: APPARENTLY, MAYFIELD'S MEN

CREATED THE ACCIDENT ON THE STREET AS A DIVERSION.

IT EMPTIED OUT THE BUILDING LONG ENOUGH

FOR THEM TO STEAL THE MICROWAVE SCRAMBLER.

THE QUESTION IS NOW...

WILL YOU HAND ME MY COFFEE?

THE QUESTION IS NOW, DOES MAYFIELD

SELL THE DEVICE TO THE BLACK MARKET

OR DOES HE USE IT TO GO AFTER BIGGER GAME?

AND IF SO, WHAT?

IRA'S BEEN WORKING ON THAT

AND HE'S COME UP WITH ABOUT A DOZEN POSSIBLE TARGETS

THAT FIT MAYFIELD'S PATTERN.

THE MOST LIKELY OF WHICH IS THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

WHAT?

THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES IS HAVING

ITS ANNUAL HOUSECLEANING.

EACH YEAR, CERTAIN DOCUMENTS--

LIKE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THE CONSTITUTION

TREATY OF PARIS AND SO ON--

ARE TAKEN FROM PUBLIC EXHIBITION

AND TRANSFERRED TO A DEPOSITORY

WHERE THEY'RE CHECKED FOR DETERIORATION AND OTHER DAMAGE.

SO YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT MAYFIELD'S AFTER?

WELL, IF HE IS, HE'S SLIPPED A COG SOMEWHERE

BECAUSE THE DEPOSITORY IS PROTECTED BY MORE MARINES

THAN WERE AT GUADALCANAL.

MAY I HELP YOU?

YEAH, UM, I'M LOOKING FOR MY BOYFRIEND.

HE WORKS HERE.

HIS NAME IS REUBEN, MARK REUBEN?

WELL, I'M AFRAID THAT NAME DOESN'T SOUND FAMILIAR AT ALL.

WELL, UM, HE'S TALL, DARK, VERY GOOD LOOKING...

HONEY, THAT DESCRIPTION

FITS HALF THE AGENTS IN THIS BUILDING.

I THINK THEY BREED THEM FOR THAT, YOU KNOW.

BUT MARK IS SPECIAL.

IF YOU JUST LOOK IN YOUR FILES

YOU'LL FIND HIS NAME.

I'M SORRY, MISS

WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANYBODY BY THAT NAME.

BUT IF YOU COULD GIVE ME SOMETHING MORE TO GO ON.

OKAY, ALRIGHT.

UH, HE WEARS CONTACT LENSES.

NO, THAT WOULDN'T HELP.

HE'S GOT A MOLE ON HIS LEFT KNEE.

OH, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, WOULD YOU?

I HOPE.

SOMETHING WRONG, KAREN?

NO, MISS PRINCE, THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS LOOKING FOR A FRIEND.

MARK? MARK, WHERE ARE YOU? (sirens wailing )

HIS NAME IS MARK, RIGHT?

YES, YOU KNOW HIM.

MARK REUBEN.

WELL, NO, BUT I THINK THAT YOU AND I

OUGHT TO HAVE A LITTLE TALK.

WHY DON'T YOU COME INTO MY OFFICE?

GIVE HER A BADGE.

AND YOU'LL HAVE TO SIGN FOR IT.

THIS WAY-- THANK YOU, KAREN.

NOW...

YOU WERE OUTSIDE J&R ELECTRONICS

A FEW HOURS AGO, WEREN'T YOU?

UH, YEAH, THAT'S WHERE MARK AND I

WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET THE OTHER I.A.D.C. AGENTS.

THE OTHER AGENTS?

BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID TO THE VAN.

I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING

AND MARK WAS GOING TO TRY AND HELP ME EXPLAIN.

MISS MURPHY, LET'S GET ONE THING CLEAR.

I WAS THE ONLY I.A.D.C. AGENT AT THAT BUILDING TODAY.

YOU AND MARK.

MISS MURPHY, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE

THERE IS NO AGENT NAMED MARK REUBEN WORKING HERE.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU PEOPLE HAVE TO KEEP

YOUR COVER STORIES AND ALL THAT

BUT, UH, I AM REALLY GETTING WORRIED ABOUT HIM.

HE DISAPPEARED SO SUDDENLY...

MISS MURPHY.

I AM AFRAID THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND WAS LYING TO YOU

WHEN HE TOLD YOU THAT HE WORKED FOR THE I.A.D.C.

NOW, IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME THAT SOMEONE, YOU KNOW

TRIED TO IMPRESS HIS GIRLFRIEND

BY TELLING HER SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR NERVE.

MARK WOULD NEVER LIE TO ME.

I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET.

UPSET? NO, I'M NOT UPSET.

WHY SHOULD I BE UPSET?

JUST BECAUSE THE ONLY GUY WHO'S EVER LOOKED SIDEWAYS AT ME

JUST SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS

AND NOBODY WILL TELL ME WHERE HE IS?

AND THEN YOU COME ALONG

AND YOU TELL ME THAT HE'S LYING TO ME

IS THAT IT?

I KNOW YOU'RE WORRIED.

DON'T PATRONIZE ME, MISS PRINCE.

I AM NOT STUPID.

I KNOW MARK PROBABLY ISN'T IN LOVE WITH ME.

MAYBE IT ISN'T AS IMPORTANT TO HIM AS IT IS TO ME.

BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME

WE TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET, YOU KNOW?

AND IF THAT MEANS THAT IT'S SOMEONE TO, TO MAKE DINNER FOR

SOMEBODY TO...

TO WATCH TV WITH

SOMEBODY TO HOLD, THEN I'LL TAKE IT.

AND I WON'T GIVE IT UP WITHOUT A FIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP, MISS PRINCE.

MISS MURPHY!

KAREN, THAT LITTLE GIRL I TOOK INTO MY OFFICE

WHICH WAY DID SHE GO?

SHE WENT THAT WAY LIKE A BAT OUT OF...

OH.

BONNIE!

MMM...

( laughs )

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'RE ACTING LIKE I JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEAD.

YOU MAY AS WELL HAVE.

OH, MARK, I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

YOU DISAPPEARED SO SUDDENLY.

BONNIE, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, NOW.

A GOVERNMENT AGENT CAN'T ALWAYS BE POLITE.

MARK, I JUST HAD THE MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

I WENT LOOKING FOR YOU AT THE I.A.D.C.

WHAT?

WELL THEY WOULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING.

THEY WOULDN'T EVEN ADMIT THAT THEY KNEW YOU.

MISS PRINCE TREATED ME LIKE I JUST FELL OFF

A TURNIP TRUCK OR SOMETHING.

UH, PRINCE, PRINCE...

DIANA PRINCE.

OH, DIANA, YES, OF COURSE.

GOOD WOMAN, GOOD WOMAN; SHE, UH...

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, BONNIE.

SHE COULDN'T REALLY BE SURE THAT YOU KNEW ME.

I FIGURED IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

ANYWAY, DID YOU FIX IT WITH YOUR BOSSES ABOUT THE VAN?

OH, YEAH, YEAH EVERYTHING'S COPACETIC.

GOOD, I'M GLAD THAT'S OVER.

I HAVE AN IDEA.

WHAT?

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO A NICE, QUIET LITTLE DRIVE

IN THE COUNTRY TOMORROW, HMM?

I KNOW A LITTLE PLACE DOWN IN VIRGINIA.

WE CAN HAVE A NICE, QUIET PICNIC BY OURSELVES.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

OH, MARK, THAT'D BE TERRIFIC.

OKAY, I'LL PICK YOU UP AROUND 11:00.

OKAY.

SO I TOLD HER WE WERE GOING

TO TAKE A PICNIC IN VIRGINIA.

SHE'LL BE THERE IF WE NEED HER.

EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT.

YOU KNOW, I HAD MY DOUBTS

ABOUT YOUR MISS MURPHY'S ABILITIES IN THE BEGINNING.

BUT AFTER HER HELP IN OBTAINING THE MICROWAVE SCRAMBLER

WELL, I MUST SAY, I'M IMPRESSED.

NOW, IF SHE CAN PROVE USEFUL IN TOMORROW'S OPERATION

WELL, THEN SHE WILL MORE THAN HAVE PAID HER WAY, SO TO SPEAK.

BUT ALAS, THEREAFTER, FOR SAFETY'S SAKE

WE WILL HAVE TO SURRENDER HER

TO NEIL'S TENDER MERCIES.

YOU HAVE NO OBJECTIONS, OF COURSE?

UH, WELL... UM, NO, NO.

WHERE, UH, SHALL WE MEET YOU?

ROUTE 50, ARLINGTON BOULEVARD

JUST BEFORE IT INTERSECTS WITH THE CAPITAL BELTWAY.

NOW, THE ARMY TRUCK FROM SHEPHERD'S LAB

WILL BE THERE ABOUT 12:25.

AND WE SHALL BE THERE AT THE SAME TIME

TO RELIEVE THEM OF THEIR CARGO.

WHICH IS?

AH, DON'T BE IMPATIENT, MR. REUBEN.

THERE'LL BE A GENERAL MEETING TONIGHT AT 8:00.

THE FULL SCOPE AND DETAIL OF MY PLAN

WILL BE REVEALED TO YOU THEN.

OH, UH, BY THE WAY...

BONNIE TOLD ME SHE TALKED TO AN I.A.D.C. AGENT, TOLD HER MY NAME.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY KNOW.

WHAT WAS THE AGENT'S NAME?

PRINCE, DIANA PRINCE.

YOU KNOW HER?

YES.

ONE OF THEIR TOP AGENTS AND VERY FORMIDABLE.

WELL, WE CAN'T HAVE HER NOSING AROUND AFTER US, CAN WE?

YOU WANT ME TO TAKE CARE OF HER?

WE'LL LET NEIL TAKE CARE OF IT.

HE'S BEEN A LITTLE RESTLESS LATELY.

AND, UH, HE'S MORE EXPENDABLE.

DON'T PRESS YOUR LUCK.

I SAID I WAS IMPRESSED, NOT OVERWHELMED.

( thunderclap )

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE?

HOLD IT.

WHY IS IT YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS WANT TO LEAVE

JUST WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS GETTING STARTED?

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

MAYFIELD?

AND WHERE DOES HE KEEP HIS, UH, STOLEN GOODIES?

HE KEEPS THE HEAVY STUFF UNDER LOCK AND KEY.

I'VE ONLY SEEN HIS PRIVATE COLLECTION

IN HIS OFFICE... AND IT'S ALL LEGAL.

WELL, SO MUCH FOR THE FRONTAL ASSAULT.

WHAT'S MAYFIELD'S CURRENT PLAN?

WE DON'T KNOW YET.

WE GET IT IN BITS AND PIECES.

HE'S GOING TO STEAL SOMETHING BEING SHIPPED

FROM VIRGINIA TO WASHINGTON TOMORROW.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

SOME KIND OF WEAPON.

WHERE DOES BONNIE MURPHY FIT INTO THIS?

SHE'S A JINX.

SHE'S A WHAT?

A JINX? COME ON.

WONDER WOMAN MUST HAVE BEEN KIDDING.

I KNOW, IT SOUNDS CRAZY, STEVE

BUT THERE ARE THEORIES TO PROVE IT.

APPARENTLY, THIS MURPHY GIRL ATTRACTS ACCIDENTS

LIKE A MAGNET.

LIKE THE WAY THAT CAR RAMMED

INTO THE PROPANE TRUCK

IN FRONT OF J&R ELECTRONICS

AND THE WAY THAT PICTURE

SORT OF JUST POPPED OFF THE WALL

WHEN BONNIE GOT UPSET.

I SUPPOSE MAYFIELD IS TOO INTRIGUED

WITH THE THEORY OF PROBABILITY

FOR US TO DISCOUNT THE IDEA.

WHAT DID WONDER WOMAN DO WITH THE GUY

THAT SHE GOT ALL THIS INFORMATION FROM?

WELL, BEFORE SHE LET HIM GO

SHE USED HER LASSO TO MAKE HIM FORGET THEIR CONVERSATION

AND ALSO TO MAKE HIM BELIEVE

THAT HE HAD, INDEED, KILLED ME, AS HE PLANNED.

IT SEEMS THE ONLY WAY WE'LL GET ANYTHING ON MAYFIELD

IS TO CATCH HIM RED-HANDED

WHICH MEANS LETTING HIM PROCEED WITH HIS ROBBERY TOMORROW.

Mayfield: GENTLEMEN, THIS IS THE DEPOSITORY WHERE, EACH YEAR

CERTAIN DOCUMENTS ARE KEPT WHILE BEING EXAMINED FOR DAMAGES.

THE CONSTITUTION...

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE...

THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

ALL IRREPLACEABLE ITEMS.

THE PLACE IS A VIRTUAL FORTRESS, GUARDED BY DOZENS OF MARINES

VERITABLY IMPREGNABLE...

UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

NOW, THIS IS THE DEVICE THAT WE'LL BE AFTER TOMORROW.

IT'S A PROTOTYPE MODEL OF AN ELECTRICAL DISRUPTER

THAT CAN PROJECT AN ELECTRIC MAGNETIC FIELD

THAT IS CAPABLE OF SHORT-CIRCUITING ANY MACHINE

WHETHER IT IS AN AUTOMOBILE ENGINE

OR ALL THE WAY TO AN ELECTRICAL POWER PLANT.

NOW, TOMORROW NIGHT, ONCE WE HAVE OBTAINED THIS DEVICE

WE SHALL INCAPACITATE THE MAIN GENERATOR

OF THE POTOMAC GENERATING STATION

THEREBY PLUNGING THE ENTIRE CITY OF WASHINGTON INTO DARKNESS, GENTLEMEN.

NOW...

AFTER THAT, WE WILL USE THE MICROWAVE SCRAMBLER

TO CUT OFF ALL COMMUNICATION: TELEPHONES, TELEVISIONS, RADIOS.

EVEN THE ARMED FORCES' WALKIE-TALKIES.

THE CITY WILL BE PARALYZED

AND THE ARMY, THE NATIONAL GUARD, THE LOCAL ENFORCEMENTS...

THEY WILL HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL, GENTLEMEN.

NOW, THE BLACKOUT WILL EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF

THE DEPOSITORY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD.

AND ONCE WE HAVE NEUTRALIZED THE MARINE GUARDS

THERE WILL BE NO PLACE THAT THEY CAN DRAW REINFORCEMENTS.

AND, MY FRIENDS, THE DEPOSITORY

AND ITS ENTIRE CONTENTS OF AMERICAN HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS

WILL BE MINE!

MINE FOR THE TAKING.

GENTLEMEN, TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BECOME FAMOUS.

OR SHOULD WE SAY INFAMOUS

AS THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT ALL OVER WASHINGTON.

I MADE TUNA FISH SANDWICHES.

I HOPE THAT'S OKAY.

FINE, BONNIE, FINE.

THEY'RE LEAVING NOW, STEVE.

I'M FOLLOWING.

YEAH, WE GOT YOU, DI.

ALRIGHT, WE'LL PICK UP THEIR TRAIL

RIGHT AS THEY LEAVE THE CITY.

WHERE'S THE TRUCK?

LEAVE IT TO THE GOVERNMENT TO BE LATE.

AH, JUST RELAX, WILL YOU?

WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO ANYTHING

UNTIL MARK SHOWS UP WITH CALAMITY JANE ANYWAY.

OH, THIS LOOKS NICE, MARK.

WHY DON'T WE STOP HERE.

UH, WELL, I KNOW A LITTLE BETTER SPOT

JUST A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD.

OH, OKAY.

IS, UH... IS SOMETHING WRONG?

I DON'T KNOW. THAT CAR'S BEEN PACING US FOR THE LAST TEN MINUTES.

DON'T LOOK AROUND.

UM... YOU DON'T THINK THAT, UH...

THAT IT'S THE OTHER SIDE, DO YOU?

COULD BE, BONNIE, COULD BE.

OH!

( groaning )

I'M TURNING OFF NOW, STEVE.

HE'S ALL YOURS.

THANKS, DIANA.

WE'VE GOT ANOTHER CARE COMING.

AS SOON AS THEY MAKE THEIR MOVE, WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE IN.

LET'S GO.

THEY'RE GONE NOW.

( sighs )

I GUESS WE'RE BOTH JUST A LITTLE JUMPY.

MAYBE.

CALDWELL, THIS IS TREVOR.

WE'RE FOLLOWING REUBEN'S CAR, HEADING WEST ON ROUTE 50

ABOUT A MILE FROM THE CAPITAL BELTWAY.

WELL, HERE COMES OUR LITTLE BAD LUCK CHARM NOW.

LET'S GO.

( engine starts )

UH, THIS IS TREVOR.

THEY JUST PICKED UP ANOTHER TAIL.

MUST BE ONE OF THEIR ACCOMPLICES.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

WE'RE GOING TO LAY BACK A LITTLE

GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO PULL OFF THEIR HIJACK BEFORE WE MOVE IN.

( gasps ) OH, MY LORD, MARK.

I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT.

Bob: DON'T YOU TOUCH THAT!

ALRIGHT.

NOW YOU FELLOWS DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY

AND NOBODY WILL GET HURT.

NOW YOU HIT THE GROUND, HEAD TO TOES.

HIT THE GROUND! HEAD TO TOES! TURN AROUND!

100 PUSH-UPS, LET'S GO!

HUT-ONE, HUT-TWO, HUT-THREE...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THEY LOOKED KIND OF STUPID

STANDING THERE WITH THEIR HANDS UP--

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, OR WHAT?

WELL, WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY

THESE KIND OF GUYS MADE ME DO PUSH-UPS.

SO I WANT TO GET BACK NOW

AND HAVE THEM DO SOME PUSH-UPS....

WE'RE HERE FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

WELL, YOU GUYS, LET'S GO, READY?

AND ONE... COME ON.

GET SOME PUSH-UPS GOING, LET'S GO!

WILL YOU... WAIT TILL I...

HUT-ONE, HUT-TWO...

HUT-ONE, HUT-TWO...

HUT-ONE, HUT-TWO...

HUT-ONE, HUT-TWO...

WE HEARD SOME TIRES SCREECHING.

WE THOUGHT THAT WE'D COME DOWN AND...

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

STAND BEHIND ME, BONNIE.

MARK, NO WONDER THINGS HAVEN'T GONE WELL FOR YOU LATELY.

THAT'S YOUR FRIEND, BOB.

NOW, KNOCK OFF THE CONVERSATION.

IF YOU TWO KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT

YOU MIGHT JUST LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER SUNSET.

YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS, BOB.

THE I.A.D.C. DOESN'T FORGET TRAITORS.

RIGHT THERE, DROP YOUR WEAPONS!

BONNIE, LISTEN.

I'M SORRY I GOT YOU INTO THIS

BECAUSE NOW WE'RE BOTH GOING TO DIE

AND I'LL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE TO TELL YOU

HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME.

ALRIGHT, DROP THE GUN SLOWLY.

( thunderclap )

ALRIGHT, FREEZE!

ALRIGHT, WONDER WOMAN.

ALRIGHT!

ONE MORE MOVE AND SHE BUYS THE FARM.

YOU WOULDN'T SHOOT YOUR OWN GIRLFRIEND.

TRY ME.

MARK, I THOUGHT WE WERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

SHUT UP.

ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO THE TRUCK.

NEIL! BOB!

I'M WELL AWARE THAT YOU COULD CATCH UP TO US

WITHOUT WORKING UP A SWEAT, BUT YOU DO AND SHE DIES.

NOT EVEN YOU ARE FAST ENOUGH TO STOP THAT, ARE YOU?

MAN, THAT WAS GREAT

THE WAY YOU STOOD UP TO WONDER WOMAN LIKE THAT.

I WOULD HAVE LOST MY LUNCH.

NOTHING TO IT

IF YOU GOT THE NERVE.

AH, WELL, IF THIS LITTLE SUCKER

DOESN'T GET US BACK ON MAYFIELD'S GOOD SIDE

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.

YEAH, YOU WOULDN'T THINK SOMETHING THIS SMALL

COULD BLACK OUT AN ENTIRE CITY, WOULD YOU?

WELL, SIZE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING IN ELECTRONICS.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME AT ALL, DID YOU?

ALL YOU WANTED TO DO WAS USE ME.

I TRUSTED YOU.

I'VE BEEN DUMPED ON SO MANY TIMES

THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER TRUST ANYBODY AGAIN.

BUT I TRUSTED YOU.

STOP WHINING, WILL YOU PLEASE?

YOU ROTTEN, NO-GOOD, LYING...

HONEY...

( loud bang )

Reuben: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

HEY! HEY, HEY, HEY!

BONNIE?!

BONNIE! BONNIE!

WAIT, WILL YOU FORGET IT?

LET'S JUST FIX THE TIRE AND GET OUT OF HERE.

LET HER GO.

FOUND THE ARMY TRUCK--

ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE IT WAS STOLEN.

BUT THERE'S NO SIGN OF MARK OR THE DISRUPTER.

YOU SURE YOU CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING

THAT MIGHT GIVE US A CLUE

AS TO WHERE THEY WENT?

NO... I-I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REMEMBER FOR HOURS

BUT ALL I CAN THINK OF IS

WHAT MARK SAID BEFORE I ESCAPED

HOW HE, UH, DID HIS BIG JOB TONIGHT.

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE.

I'M SORRY, COLONEL TREVOR.

CALL ME STEVE.

STEVE.

( chuckles )

TELL ME, HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS TALENT OF YOURS?

ALL MY LIFE.

WHEN I WAS FIVE

MY PARENTS WANTED ME TO ENTER NURSERY SCHOOL.

I CRIED AND CRIED.

THEY FINALLY HAD TO FORCE ME INTO THE CAR.

THEN ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL, WE REAR-ENDED A TRUCK.

HAPPENED EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT WEEK.

THEY FINALLY GAVE UP.

I DIDN'T ENTER SCHOOL TILL KINDERGARTEN.

BONNIE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU...

WAIT.

THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO A DENTIST

THE POOR GUY SLAMMED THE DOOR ON HIS FINGER

AND BROKE IT IN TWO PLACES.

MY FIRST DATE TOOK ME ROLLER SKATING ON LONG ISLAND.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

I G... I GUESS I'M USED TO IT NOW, YOU KNOW?

I JUST, I JUST EXPECT IT.

NOW, THERE, YOU SEE?

THAT'S THE TROUBLE.

YOU EXPECT BAD LUCK

SO THAT'S ALL YOU GET.

NO, IT'S THE ODDS.

IT'S NOTHING I CONTROL.

I DO SOMETHING WEIRD WITH THE ODDS.

BONNIE, THE ODDS CAN WORK BOTH WAYS, GOOD OR BAD.

MAYBE IF YOU FELT

A LITTLE BETTER ABOUT YOUR LIFE...

NO.

NO, IT'S NO, IT'S NO USE.

I'M A JINX.

COME ON, BONNIE, CUT IT OUT.

YOU'RE MUCH TOO PRETTY A GIRL

TO GO THROUGH LIFE PLAYING CAT'S CRADLE

WITH YOUR FINGERS.

YOU MEAN THAT?

YES, I DO.

I TALKED TO THE POLICE

AND THERE'S STILL NO SIGN...

UH, I CAN COME BACK LATER.

WELL, IT'S GETTING LATE, DIANA.

I'LL HOLD DOWN THE FORT.

WHY DON'T YOU GO ON HOME

BEFORE IT GETS TOO DARK?

WELL, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

DARK, DARK... THAT'S IT!

WHAT'S IT? WHAT?

WELL, IN THE TRUCK.

THEY WERE MOVING THAT DISRUPTER THING

AND MARK'S FRIEND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT

"IT'S AWFULLY SMALL TO BLACK OUT AN ENTIRE CITY."

BLACK OUT A CITY?

WASHINGTON?

YOU KNOW, HE COULD DO IT.

HE COULD USE THE DISRUPTER TO SHORT-CIRCUIT

THE MAIN GENERATOR ON THE POTOMAC RIVER.

STEVE, THAT'S CRAZY.

A BLACKOUT COULD CAUSE RIOTS AND LOOTING

HOSPITALS SHUTTING DOWN...

PEOPLE COULD DIE.

ALL JUST SO MAYFIELD CAN STEAL THOSE DOCUMENTS.

I'LL GET A SECURITY TEAM

TO THE DEPOSITORY RIGHT AWA...

DIANA, MAYBE WE OUGHT TO...

DIANA?

NEIL, LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.

SHORT-CIRCUITING AN ELECTRICAL GENERATOR IS NOT EXACTLY LIKE

WELL, BLOWING OUT A CANDLE.

THERE ARE BACKUP SYSTEMS, FAIL-SAFE DEVICES

AND I'M SURE YOUR ASSOCIATES

ARE PUTTING THEM OUT ONE BY ONE.

NOW, I'LL BE WAITING THREE BLOCKS AWAY.

SINCE THIS IS GOING TO CUT OFF ALL RADIO COMMUNICATION

THERE'LL BE NO CONTACT UNTIL YOU RETURN WITH THE DOCUMENTS.

GENTLEMEN, GOOD LUCK.

( crickets chirping )

( soft music plays )

( music stops )

END OF STEP ONE.

( buzzing and whirring begins )

( car horns start honking )

AT LEAST OUR EMERGENCY GENERATORS ARE OPERATING.

TOO BAD THE WHOLE CITY OF WASHINGTON DOESN'T HAVE ONE.

HELLO, LOU, I NEED A CONTINGENT

AT THE "K" STREET DEPOSITORY...

HELLO?

DARN!

THE PHONE'S DEAD.

I WONDER...

YEAH, THE TELEVISION'S OUT, TOO.

MAYFIELD MUST BE JAMMING

ALL THE TELEVISION AND TELEPHONE TRANSMISSIONS

WITH THE MICROWAVE SCRAMBLER.

GUESS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ROUND UP

AS MANY AGENTS AS I CAN RIGHT HERE IN THE BUILDING.

STEVE, LET ME COME WITH YOU.

BONNIE, I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT.

WHY NOT?

YOU AFRAID I'LL JINX YOU?

YOU WIN.

COME ON.

( crackling and popping )

( horns honking )

( crickets chirping )

OKAY. LET'S HIT IT.

( small explosions rippling )

( erratic sizzling, buzzing... )

( fires twice )

WELL, IF YOU TWO AREN'T GOOD FRIENDS BY NOW

YOU WILL BE BY THE TIME THEY GET YOU OUT OF THIS.

Steve: THE LIGHTS ARE ON.

ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT?

UH, I DON'T THINK SO.

WELL, STICK AROUND.

YOU MAY BE OUR GOOD LUCK CHARM.

( clicking above )

( hushed ): MARK

THE LIGHTS.

YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THEM?

THEY'RE BACK ON.

RIGHT.

OH, TERRIFIC. TERRIFIC.

BY THE TIME I GET THIS OPEN

EVERYBODY AND THEIR BROTHER WILL BE IN HERE.

COME ON, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DOCUMENTS, MAYFIELD?

( laughs )

MAYFIELD CAN STICK THE DOCUMENTS UP HIS NOSE!

I'M NOT ABOUT TO GET CAUGHT IN HERE

WITH A BUNCH OF TRIGGER-HAPPY MARINES.

COME ON!

FREEZE! I.A.D.C.

( pulls trigger, click )

WONDER WOMAN, WAIT.

Reuben: BONNIE!

I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T

LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME!

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

BONNIE!

I WANTED TO DO IT MYSELF.

( laughs )

ANY SIGN OF MAYFIELD?

Steve: UH, NO SUCH LUCK.

AS SOON AS THE LIGHTS WENT ON

HE PROBABLY FLEW TO BRAZIL.

WELL, HE MIGHT.

BUT MAYFIELD ISN'T AN ORDINARY THIEF.

HE'S A COLLECTOR.

ONE OF HIS HOODS TOLD ME EARLIER

THAT HE'S GOT A PRIVATE COLLECTION IN HIS OFFICE.

RIGHT THERE.

YOU KNOW

YOU'RE A VERY UNIQUE SORT OF THIEF

MR. MAYFIELD.

I THINK PEOPLE OUGHT TO GET A CHANCE TO SEE

WHAT KIND OF A MAN WOULD BLACK OUT AN ENTIRE CITY

TO SATISFY HIS OWN PERSONAL OBSESSION.

HOW ABOUT IF WE RUN A TOUR THROUGH HERE

ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK?

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

THAT OUGHT TO KEEP YOU.

YOU'LL BE SAFE HERE.

Diana: OH, ONE THING, BONNIE.

STEVE TELLS ME THAT

WHEN MARK PULLED HIS GUN ON YOU DOWN AT THE DEPOSITORY

IT DIDN'T FIRE.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT YOU'RE BEGINNING TO DELIVER GOOD LUCK?

WHO KNOWS? MAYBE NOW THAT I'M FEELING

A LITTLE BIT BETTER ABOUT MYSELF

MAYBE THE ODDS WILL TURN UP

A LITTLE MORE EVEN--

SOME GOOD, SOME BAD.

THAT'S ALL ANYONE CAN ASK OUT OF LIFE, RIGHT?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU TWO

BUT I AM STARVING.

ANYBODY INTERESTED IN FINDING

AN ALL-NIGHT STEAK HOUSE?

WELL, THANKS, BUT NO, THANKS.

I'M GOING HOME AND SLEEP UNTIL NOON.

HOW ABOUT YOU, BONNIE?

WANT TO HAVE A LATE DINNER WITH ME?

OH, I'D LOVE TO.

GREAT!

GOODNIGHT, DIANA.

WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

RIGHT, STEVE.

TAKE CARE, BONNIE.

AND I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT YOUR LUCK

IS DEFINITELY TAKING A TURN FOR THE BETTER.

WELL... KEEP WORKING ON IT.
