Thank you.

You did a beautiful job gentlemen.

Beautiful.

The bar is open. Why don't you have a drink? You deserve it.

You got the tickets?

In my pocket.

The girl from the airline delivered them herself.

He's not going to like this, George.

Oh, don't think about that, Cass.

Think about the money we now have that they would have had.

Joey, I don't want any trace of these bodies found.

It was perhaps inevitable that the man-made world would one day require a

unique woman.

A Wonder Woman.

That day has come.

You are that unique woman, Diana.

You will be the Wonder Woman.

So having parted from the many sisters you've known all the days of your life,

now part from these few who are your closest friends.

Part from them with the same dignity and strength your new life will demand.

You make a sacrifice I could never make, Diana.

And I would go in your place without hesitation for the wonders of the

outside world.

There is no greater wonder than the peace and the joy we have on our island,

Angela.

How I shall miss you, Ting.

And you, my daughter.

You're endowed with extraordinary wisdom, love, and strength, daughter.

And now you're charged with a mission.

To accomplish that mission, you must leave this island.

You must adopt other ways, for that is the only true means of taking our pure

and true love of justice and right to that world beyond ours here.

There's deep sadness in having you leave us, but there's also joy.

The hope that your presence in the world of man will open closed eyes to the

genuine value of women.

That you'll never lose the sensitivity that is our real strength.

You carry with you our love.

Yes, sir.

Of course I understand the implications, Commissar.

I think we can work out a compromise.

They're willing to make an exchange, Chernitsky for Lao-Chi.

Consider the proposal, I'll phone back.

Both sides are considering an exchange, Mr. Secretary. I'll phone you back when

a decision is reached.

I want all available agents in here at once, Diana. They're already on their

way. Good.

I reserved the computer and they're waiting for your call at the data bank,

line 3A.

You're always a step ahead of me.

Data bank, line 3A.

Here's today's surprise.

I know it's small, but it's the best I could do on short notice.

That's sweet.

Thanks.

Yes, sir?

Send them in when they get here, Dee.

They're here, sir.

Gentlemen, go right on in.

Dinner, Dee?

Don't answer now.

Think about it.

Gentlemen, the complete list of all our agents in the field, their cover

identities, and their specific assignments has been stolen.

And with that list, the key to every diplomatic and military code in use by

our government throughout the world. Each was broken down into five parts,

all five parts being necessary to use any of them.

There were dozens of decoy books planted in various embassies and consulates

throughout the world. None of those were touched.

Just the ten valuable books.

They were kept in highly secret hiding places.

In Berlin, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, and London.

FAPS took place simultaneously and ingeniously just after our agents had

finished reporting in.

As you all know, an agent in the field reports in every 72 hours at a

prearranged time at 10-minute intervals, which means that we are completely out

of touch with all of our agents for the next 72 hours.

They can't be reached or warned between communications.

If those lists and codes fall into the hands of our adversaries...

Our people will be at their mercy for the next three days.

Completely vulnerable to be apprehended or eliminated.

39 of our best intelligence operatives. And with those 39 lives lost, our entire

organization will cease to exist in that one deadly sweep.

Now, the thief knows that and has set his price for returning those 10 books

accordingly.

$15 million in cash.

He has given us 48 hours to gather the money.

He will contact us again in one of our top secret codes as to where and how the

ransom is to be paid. Given all the pertinent information, our data bank of

computers has come up with only three individuals or organizations capable of

this enterprise.

British crime cartel headed by Winston Thomas with headquarters in Landoff,

Wales. Charles Fangry, freelance operative without nationality, last

known location Caracas, Venezuela.

And Abner Smith.

a contractor who sets up intelligence operations for any number of nations.

Last known location, Cap d'Antibes, France.

Never photographed. This is a car used in an operation last year.

You've each got one hour to devise a counterplan to recover those books and

save those lives.

All right, the clock is ticking. Get on it.

Well, Dee, what do you think?

I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you tonight.

Probably just as well.

Odds are I'll be in Caracas by dinnertime.

Bob, you will be careful.

See you later.

What do you think, Dee?

What can anyone think with that many lives in jeopardy?

Dee?

I'll be away from the office for a while.

A dental appointment. I lost a filling.

Well, it happens.

I hope you'll feel up to coming in tomorrow.

Well, you never know how long these things will take.

Phone in and let me know?

First chance I get.

I can call this dental pool and have someone come in and replace me when I'm

gone. Hey.

Nobody can replace you.

At times like this, I really worry about you.

I know.

But please don't. I'm sure I can handle it.

If anyone can, you can't.

I still worry.

Thanks.

Which dentist are you going to try?

I think the French one.

Intuition?

I would have guessed the English.

C'est la vie.

Oh, c'est vous, mademoiselle? Sans faire rien, mon vieux.

702. One of our very best.

Bien, merci.

Wonder Woman.

She's here.

Room 702. Hold on.

You were right, Mr. Smith.

She just checked into the Hotel Saint-Germain, room 702.

Marvelous. It's one of ours.

She should be eliminated.

Just delay, George.

72 hours.

Just delay, George.

72 hours.

Violence and mayhem. That's so gauche.

He can hold her in her room.

If he's able to.

I don't agree with you, Mr. Smith.

This isn't a democracy, George. We don't take a vote here.

You're the boss.

Yeah, George, I am.

Joey, welcome the lady.

Politely.

Thank you, but...

Very well.

Hello?

My name is George Calvin.

Now, you don't know me, but you just passed me in the lobby.

You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. And if you don't

have dinner with me tonight, I'm just going to have to throw myself from the

top of this building.

And maybe I can help you find what you came to Captain Teague for.

Well, then how can I refuse?

How about 8 o'clock?

In the lobby.

In the lobby.

I seriously doubt you'll have the success you think you will, George.

Yacht sails like clouds. You need an angel. Never, George.

Never. Ten thousand says you're wrong.

You've got to bet.

You're wrong.

I think you'll find, Captain T, the very exciting city.

Oh, it is.

So far, a gentleman has dropped in on me from the roof of the elevator.

Oh, my room is bugged. Then you didn't get the room with the trap door on the

floor? They never bugged that room.

Well, now, that's a relief, George.

And, uh, then you called me.

Why?

To invite you sailing.

On Mr. Smith's yacht?

I was out this morning.

It was warm.

There was a wind.

The sails looked like clouds. All that was missing was an angel to make it

perfect.

Come sailing with me tomorrow.

May I bring you an aperitif, monsieur?

Champagne?

I'd rather a glass of Hermitage Blanc, if you don't mind.

A bottle of your very best Hermitage Blanc.

Ice the glasses.

Very good, monsieur.

I don't know that wine.

It's an inexpensive Rhone wine, but it has its own style.

You deserve champagne.

Even if I don't like it?

There are some things in this world worth learning to like.

Voilà, merci.

To this night.

You are so totally captivating.

Let me make love to you.

Why?

Because your eyes reach into mine. You misunderstood me.

I didn't mean why should you want to. I meant why should I.

Don't you find me attractive?

Appealing? Yes.

But there are quite a few attractive and appealing men in this world. I don't

care about the others.

Oh, George.

You don't. You're fast.

I like you.

Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me.

There's no reason to run away.

Oh, I know that, George.

Good night.

Special line A-1267 to the United States operator.

Merci.

Mr. Steve, Trevor.

Trevor. You sound tired, Steve.

Oh, this has been a tough one, but you did pick the right dentist, the

Frenchman. The English dentist is in a hospital in Belgrade, and the other one

is on a long vacation in China.

How's it going?

Somewhat involved, but I'm making progress.

You want me to send you some company for moral support?

No, everything's fine.

We all miss you, Dee.

We did hear about the delivery we have to make. A messenger will be here to

pick it up. Who told you the message?

I really hate to have a guest at one of my parties that I haven't welcomed

personally. Then you weren't in your car when it attempted to run me down

earlier? I was totally unaware of anything like that happening.

I'll discuss it with Georges, I promise.

Now, two more pleasant things.

If you'd like to swim, you'll find bathing attire in the cabana.

Well, that's very kind of you, but I only came by to rescue the books you

borrowed. You have my word of honor.

My word of honor that they will be returned the moment I have the proper

response from you, Mr.

Treble. I find it very difficult to accept your word of honor with 39 lives

at stake, Mr. Smith.

Ah, you do know who I am, huh?

I was wondering if you did.

Not really seriously. I was relatively certain you knew.

About those lives, Mr. Smith.

Those agents you placed in jeopardy. I haven't really.

I'll return the books, and the agents will remain undercover, secret, and

safe.

Given any choice, I'd spend the rest of the evening talking with you, but I

really must go now.

Enjoy your stay in France.

She's on her way up.

Oh, my dear, what brings you to my door at this hour?

Loneliness, I hope.

My key.

I've locked my key in my room.

Pity. Won't you come in and tell me all about it? Might I impose on you to...

Oh, no imposition at all, my pleasure. Come in, come in.

Would you mind calling my room and waking up my husband?

He's a very sound sleeper and he doesn't hear me knocking.

Oh. Oh, yes, yes, of course, your husband.

What room might that be?

702. We're just across the hall.

Certainly. I'll call him straight away.

You're not surprised.

I wanted to surprise you.

Now, why weren't you surprised?

I take it the trunk is for me?

Had to guess your dimensions, but I think it'll fit.

Now, my friends are going to take you sailing for a few days.

Any place you choose.

Whether I like it or not. Oh, I think you'll learn to like it.

In case it's not clear to you, let me make it clear.

Abner's convinced your life is necessary.

I'm not.

I never would have guessed it, George.

So don't force us to damage you before we put you in the trunk.

You wouldn't like that.

And since he's still the boss, I'd hate to have to explain it to him.

I just can't let you put me in that trunk, George.

I thought you couldn't.

She's here now waiting for you.

That's impossible.

We had an hour lead on her.

I'm standing here looking at her. It's that woman.

Tell him we leave the airport by a different route.

And tell him to have the messenger sent to Steve Trevor.

Pursuant to your instructions, our lab people checked it out by every method.

Except probing an x-ray.

My guess is it's not a bomb.

Those instructions came from the thief.

And I'm to be alone when I open it. Could be there's an assassin in there,

Steve. Sound test picked up a heartbeat or something like it.

I have no choice but to follow their instructions, Colonel.

It's a necessary risk.

All right.

Be careful, please. Thanks, Morris.

I'm telling her she's in her room.

Hello? This is George.

I just got in.

Under the circumstances, I didn't think you'd be sailing the Mediterranean.

Oh, no.

Where you go, I go.

I'm sure you didn't call to chat, George.

I called to invite you to lunch.

Someplace very public, I imagine.

Well, what could be more public than the Governor's Grill at the Peregrine?

Why, George?

I've been told to make you a proposition.

Business, of course.

How about 12.30?

Fine. Shall I pick you up?

I brought your trunk.

That's very thoughtful, George, but I'd just as soon meet you there.

Try not to be late.

This is room 519.

Send up a container of milk and a saucer and tell the waiter to let himself into

the room but to take his shoes off in the hall first.

Yes, that's what I said.

And tell him there's a $50 tip if he gets in the next minute.

Stay right there.

Now pour the milk in the saucer and then walk slowly over here and put it down on

the floor.

But lady... Don't talk.

Just put the milk down and slide it as close to me as you can.

Oh, I'm sorry. I almost forgot your tip.

How can you stand up after that?

Would have been a lot tougher if the snake had bitten me.

Yeah.

She's late.

You didn't happen to arrange something that would prevent her from coming here,

did you, George?

Do you think I'd do anything contrary to your orders?

I misjudged you, George.

She's being seated at your table.

I prefer not to drink at lunch, thank you.

You know, I'll spend the rest of my life wishing I'd met you under other

circumstances.

George, I seriously doubt that any woman could survive in your memory longer than

a few days.

So do I.

But that line usually has a very disarming effect.

Let's stop fencing and get down to business.

I'm empowered to offer you one...

Million dollars to form a professional alliance with my employer.

Well, that's very impressive, but no thanks.

Two million dollars?

That's just not haggle.

What's your top offer?

Five million. Now, even you could find a lot to buy with five million dollars.

I have everything I want.

Except for the books and for the safety of those 39 agents.

That's your final word?

Final.

You've heard Abner's offer. You haven't heard mine.

I think I know what yours is, George.

I won't underestimate you again.

And I won't ask for Abner's approval.

If you turn up again, I'll kill you.

Now, you see, I knew what your offer would be.

Do enjoy your present.

George.

Yes, of course I'm calling from a public telephone booth.

You're not where someone can get at you with a car.

Steve, I'm perfectly safe.

Now, you're supposed to put the money where?

Two leather saddlebags, then take the animal to a place in Nevada, a ghost

town named Alba, at four o'clock this afternoon.

And that's all?

We give the burro a command in Spanish, slap it on the rump, and leave.

Well, don't stand behind the burro when you give him a swat.

Phone in this evening.

If I have anything to tell you.

Bye.

I bring you love from your mother, Diana.

And when you return to the island, give her my love. I will.

My mission.

is to bring you a message of great sadness, sister.

One from among us has fled the island.

Which of us?

Angela.

And so your mother spoke according to our just law.

Angela is not to be trusted. She must now face her times of trial alone.

So be it, sister.

To my great sadness.

And mine.

I'm delighted you decided to accept my invitation to join me in this

enterprise, Angela.

Well, how could I refuse?

I'm curious as to when my part in it begins.

Now, find George and go to the Glen.

He knows where it is.

All right.

Just, uh, why did you decide to pay me all this money?

I'm sure it's not to keep George company in some Glen.

In every illegal operation, there is a need for someone like George Angela.

Someone with an ego so large that he succeeds because he can't really live

with failure.

But inevitably, two things occur.

First, he decides to take over at some point.

And second, he runs up against a problem he can't really handle.

When either one of those situations arises, I want you there to set things

straight.

I think I can manage that.

I'm sure you can. If you don't forget that George is both heartless and has a

clever, if grotesque, turn of mind.

Not to worry, Mr. Smith.

The animal's been sprayed overall with a non-toxic, harmless ultraviolet fluid.

This will enable you to track it easily from the air with the aid of special

lighting. It's already installed on the helicopters.

Day or night, shine the light on him and he'll light up like a Christmas tree.

Good. What about electronic tracking?

Oh, yes.

We have microtransmitters between the hoof and the shoe. Four of them in all.

And there's no way four hoof transmitters are going to go on the

fritz. One, maybe two, but not all four.

Fine.

That's a strange kind of messenger, don't you think, Steve?

I thought so until I saw the topographical map of the area around

Alba, Nevada.

Burrow's a perfect choice.

Here's the rancher, Steve.

I really wish you'd let us mark that cache, Steve.

He's too clever enough to give it a thorough examination when he gets it.

No, if he finds some way to get his hands on the money without us being

right behind it and discovers the money is marked, he'll sell the lists and the

codes to our adversaries.

That means 39 dead or in prison agents. It's too big a risk.

He retired at the conference, so I authorized the bags to be fitted with

tear gas elements.

Maybe we should remove them. No, no departure from routine.

I'm sure Abner Smith knows our procedure almost as well as we do.

How do they activate?

Usual way, shot blowing either bag.

Routine.

I think we're being watched.

Let's get out of here.

The hoof transmitters on the barrel are all go, Steve.

Good. What now?

Wait.

Something's going wrong, Steve.

We're not getting any signals from the hoof transmitters. We better get copters

in here to make visual contact.

No need.

That contingency is already taken care of.

Thank you.

Why don't we just pick a comfortable spot where we can wait for the burrow

and relax?

George, you don't want to relax.

Now, why would you say that?

Pick a target.

You pick it.

That stump over there.

How much?

Name your own price.

For hitting that stump.

George. Oh.

Fifty.

You're on.

All right.

Now hit the javelin you just threw.

Devil or nothing.

You're on.

That burro should be here any time now.

There's someone riding it

I've

got five big one says you can't take her off from here

This isn't the way I expected to see you again, Angela.

What other way could there be now, Diana?

Must we make war against each other? We have no choice.

We both know your goal.

And mine.

The last time we were in contest together, there was no victor.

I remember.

George, take the burrow and leave.

And I advise you to do as you were instructed.

You would not take my life. I didn't save your life on the island to take it

now. Would you allow me to replace my weapon?

No, Angela.

No more fighting between us.

Hold no hope that I shall ever return to the island.

I've made my choice.

I want the things this world has to offer.

We were so much alike.

Never. Then our sisterhood ends here.

Not until I repay my debt.

I owe you my life.

Set your price, I'll pay it.

That was in our childhood.

I won't be indebted to you, Diana.

Set your price.

Where is he taking the money?

To the mushroom-shaped rock on the north rim of the Great Canyon.

Your debt is paid.

Oh. Tell Mr. Smith.

I will explain.

You know as well as I do that we will face each other again.

And if I win, I will take your life.

Where is Angela, George?

Still at the Glen.

Guess who turned up riding the burro?

She does have a style.

A style all her own.

Open the pouches, George.

Shall I check at the margin?

Trevor wouldn't risk marking it.

Two million of it's mine.

Would you like it to be three million, George?

I'll make you a wager for a million.

What is it?

That she followed you here.

She couldn't.

Even if Angela lost the fight and told her where to come.

She's on foot.

Well, then you can't lose.

I don't think...

You just cost me one million dollars.

You're going to regret it.

I guess our honeymoon is over, George.

You won the bet.

I've looked forward to meeting you for a very long time.

As I've looked forward to meeting you, Mr. Smith.

You are exactly as I picture you.

Exactly.

You're taller than I expected.

Angela asked me to extend her apologies.

I'm sure she did her best to get here.

You had a very long and dry trip.

For your peace of mind.

Thank you.

We have to kill her.

Oh, I certainly hope not, George.

She's not going to just let us walk away with that money.

She might.

And what if she doesn't?

There is time to decide that then, isn't there?

Not if she's told Steve Trevor where she is.

If you took the time to study your adversaries, you know she didn't. And

you'd probably be in business for yourself instead of working for me.

Now, will you see that the copter is fueled, George?

You found what has to be the most unlikely place to live in the entire

country, Mr. Smith.

Inside the north wall of the Grand Canyon. I would thank you, but I had

nothing to do with making it what it is.

I'm sure you realize we have something of a problem to solve.

Yes, a problem.

Before we confront that, will you answer a question for me?

If I can.

That burro.

We scrubbed off the ultraviolet spray, deactivated the signal transmitters,

visually confused it with three other identical, identical burros, and you

still followed it.

How? Tracks, Mr. Smith.

You see, hoof prints are almost as distinctive as fingerprints.

The most basic and simple factors are the ones we overlook.

Tracks, of course, tracks.

I have another question.

Do you mind?

That depends on the question.

I left Cap d'Antibes a full hour or more before you could have.

And you were in New York well ahead of me. How? I have this marvelous plane

that flies that much faster than yours.

I'd like to see it sometime.

I'm afraid that's just not possible.

Even if I give you my word, I'd make no attempt to steal it.

It's not that.

You see, my plane is invisible.

And you are invisible when you fly it.

Of course.

Convenient.

Now, let's get back to our problem.

Now, we have $15 million in these pouches, and I

have 10 books, which, since the ransom is paid, I intend to return to your

government. That should assure your mind that your agents will be safe.

Oh, the books, I mean, it's...

Leather case.

Now, I propose to leave here with the money by helicopter, leaving the books

with you.

That seems fair.

If this was a normal business transaction, Mr. Smith, it would be.

But you don't think it is.

You violated the law.

And there is the basic morality of right and wrong.

To which you adhere.

To which I've dedicated my life, Mr. Smith.

Abner. Oh, please.

Abner.

Consider. There is no way for you to leave here.

No way for you to stop me from leaving.

Common sense would seem to indicate that you re-evaluate your decision.

May I show you around?

I'd like that.

Good. This way, please.

The elevator system was the most difficult engineering job.

I stole the plans for it from the strategic air command.

Brilliant people there.

I'll tell them that you appreciate their talent. I hope you'll have the

opportunity.

May I look?

If you give me your word, your word, that you won't like to sabotage it.

I'll have to pass.

all these books?

Something more than half.

And this is where you planned the robbery?

That is a very interesting story.

I was in Lisbon where I bought some information on something or another.

You were wearing two bracelets when you arrived.

Now there is only one.

Where is the other?

Now put those saddlebags and that box on the floor.

Get them, Joey.

No, leave that.

Why? We can sell them again.

Because we made a deal, George.

And a word has to be good.

Why the gun, George?

We've got to kill her.

No, no, no, no, no.

Killing people makes other people much more angry than they ever get over

money. Makes them dogged.

We don't need that.

And we may want to do business with them again.

I sincerely wish we might have spent more time together.

Well, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. I look forward to our

next enterprise together.

I take it you're to be the one who sees to the world.

Yes, sir.

The people you're leaving it with have children.

Four. Oh, that's fine.

That's fine.

Perhaps you'd better start out now.

You'll see to paying Cass and Joe and the others, George.

And then join me, all right?

Right. Thank you again.

What about a parting drink?

No thanks, George.

We were there the last time you offered anybody a parting drink.

Why, George?

The money.

You want all the money, George, huh?

Fifteen million dollars, Mr. Smith.

Why not?

Just give me the saddlebags.

You'll find a way to be broke in a year, George.

You came close, Abner.

Thank you, you're welcome.

Let's go buddy Wonder

woman, I love you

After we get through the calls, we've got to lay out the quarterly personnel

evaluations. And don't forget the call to maintenance about the air

conditioning. Oh, and you've got a conference at 11, heads of departments.

Right. See if we can move that to another day.

That's everything.

All right, let's start with the call to London.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Dee, you didn't tell me.

When you finally caught up with him, how was the bout with your dentist?

Painful.

A little.

Thank you very much.
