Original subtitles

- What is the planet called? - Earth.

Two billion inhabitants, primitive nation-states...

crude beginnings in science. They call themselves humans.

They always call themselves human. But they're not.

They're savages. And they're dangerous.

- Not yet. - Do they have atomic power?

They're just beginning to develop it.

But they do have wars?

Yes.

Warlike savages with atomic power. Next: Space flight.

Then they become a threat to every civilized planet.

I vote we sterilize this Earth. Now.

- You don't speak for the Council, Sakri. - Nor do you, Andros.

How long have you been an observer on this Earth?

A little more than 3,000 of their years.

And you identify with them.

Yes, I like them.

You're an observer, Andros.

Civilized, empathetic, but prejudiced.

I'm inclined to agree with Sakri.

- I think this Earth should be sterilized. - No.

The Compact Laws are specific:

Before any action on a primitive planet there must be a judgment.

Very well. You will return to Earth.

We will remain in sensory contact with you.

Show us these humans...

convince the Council that they deserve a chance to survive, to grow.

But it will be up to you to pass judgment.

If you can't convince us, Andros, don't resist us.

Then we would have to destroy you along with the planet.

Yes, sir, certainly. We will notify C.I.C. On a continuing basis.

We've alerted observatories to report any more unidentified objects.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Steve, this phone has been ringing off its hook all morning.

Everyone thinks that that unidentified object last night...

was some sort of secret weapon.

- Any more sightings reported? - No, just the one.

The only other unusual report was on the weather.

Thunder, lightning, and an incredible amount of rain...

at exactly the same time that meteor hit.

Meteor?

That's what the Dominion Observatory thinks it was.

Maybe.

But the Nazis have been perfecting a kind of flying missile...

sort of an airborne torpedo.

In any case, we do have a possible location...

and the search squads have already been out for several hours.

- I've landed. - We are monitoring, Andros.

Commencing judgment survey.

I don't care what kind of terrain you're on.

I want that flying whatever-it-was found.

Who are you?

Identify yourself.

What are you doing talking German?

I'm sorry.

Call me Andros, please. I am a visitor.

A very peaceful visitor, come to speak to the leaders of your government...

- on a matter of considerable importance. - It's a restricted area, mister.

- I need some kind of identification. - I've already told you, my name is Andros.

That doesn't mean anything to me. Who are you?

How did you waltz through a squad of my men?

I'm a visitor.

An alien.

- You were speaking German. - I do not come from Germany, General.

But from what you might call outer space.

And I must apologize for causing this disturbance.

You must understand. It is sometimes difficult...

to come into another culture.

- What are you talking about? - Tightrope walking, Major.

I want to speak to President Roosevelt and some of the leaders of Congress first.

- What? - Then Stalin, Churchill, de Gaulle...

and Chiang Kai-Shek.

Later, of course, Mussolini, Emperor Hirohito, and Adolf Hitler.

It's a bad time for jokes, mister. There's a war on!

Of course. That's why I'm here.

As the representative of...

Call it a Council of Planets. The representatives of the Council...

have been observing Earth and humanity for quite some time now.

Since the Neolithic.

At this moment, there's a great deal of worry...

about the combination of your planet's growing technology...

and continued savagery.

Many of us had hoped that you might be more civilized by now.

Are you here to pass judgment?

No. I'm here to observe, first.

To find the potential for peaceful development...

before it's too late.

- I hope I'm making myself clear. - As mud.

You're either a spy or a mental case.

Either way you're under arrest. Sergeant!

Thank you, Major.

Please do not attack me.

I'm linked to my spacecraft's special support system...

and in guarding me, it might hurt one of you.

- General, as long as Mr... - Andros.

...Andros is willing to come with us peacefully, why not have the meeting?

The President could be informed.

And speaking for intelligence...

I'd like to find out just how he managed to stun those soldiers.

Something to that, Major.

Get clear! Grenade!

Sergeant, report to me at 1800 hours.

And you, Andros...

I'll arrange for you to be conducted to Washington...

to the War Department, pronto. In absolute secrecy.

Come on, Bjornsen, you're a newspaperman...

it's gotta be worth money to you.

A story about a man who catches grenades with his bare hands...

- and holds them while they explode? - I saw him.

I think he's some kind of scientist or something.

And, listen, General Kane himself...

is taking this guy right to the top.

Maybe it would be a human-interest story.

Worth $5.

I ain't fussy. Not on $21 a month.

Von Dreiberg.

Reporting, Herr General.

I have learned the Americans are holding top-level meetings...

with an alien scientist.

Alien? From where?

Nationality unknown, sir.

But it appears he is central to the development of major new weapons.

New weapons? There have been rumors.

Secure all facts on this alien scientist. Then seize him.

But, sir, he will be very closely guarded.

I'm not concerned with that, you will seize him.

Out troops are smashing through Africa, we will soon take Paris.

With this alien scientist's secrets at our command...

we will conquer the world that much sooner.

Yes, sir.

All right, sir, we'll set up a preliminary session for tomorrow.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Mr. Andros, the White House is interested.

Just Andros, please.

All right.

In any case, we will arrange a preliminary meeting...

and demonstration of your techniques for tomorrow.

And that's necessary, before meeting with the President and Congress?

I'm afraid so, Mr...

Andros.

Pardon?

That's classic Greek, sir.

"A messenger to barbarians is a beast of burden," sir.

No offense meant, gentlemen.

Something an old friend of mine once said at a party.

Socrates said that.

Yes, that's correct.

I see I am not alone in having met that great man.

Well, in any case, Major Trevor and Yeoman Prince...

will arrange for your quarters.

They're expecting you at Harrison Academy.

That's an official guesthouse we use. You will be, of course...

a guest of the United States government.

This will be your quarters, Andros. If you will follow me.

- Thanks. - You're welcome, Major.

Though I have the feeling you didn't need much help.

- And thank you, Wonder Woman. - Luckily, I heard the sounds.

- Where's Diana? - She's probably getting help.

I am delighted to finally meet the fabled Wonder Woman.

But not to see you earthlings give in to your weakness for violence.

We better all get inside.

- Paul Bjornsen, Swedish news service. - Thanks again.

- Will I see you again? - Perhaps.

I'll look forward to it.

Here you are, Andros.

Are you all right? I notified the police.

It's okay, Diana. It's all over. Got a little help from Wonder Woman.

Yes, it's fortunate Wonder Woman was so close at hand...

isn't it, Yeoman Prince?

Yes, it was very fortunate.

And we had some help from this Good Samaritan.

- Paul Bjornsen. - Yeoman Diana Prince.

Is this violence customary?

Unfortunately, every big city has some crime.

Yes, of course.

Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrah, and your Barbary Coast.

The names of the cities change, but the squalor and crime do not.

Well, we can talk about it later.

I'd like some details, for my news service.

I'm sorry.

I think we will postpone any meetings, Major Trevor...

- until I gather more data. - Look, they were just petty crooks.

Yes, but why are there always so many of them...

and so few of the others?

He once accused me of being impatient with humanity.

Lincoln?

Yes.

Perhaps I am impatient.

But one week later he was assassinated.

I'll contact you, Major.

I'm sorry, but for your own protection it's best...

I accept full responsibility, sir.

Nonsense, Steve. You can't be blamed because this...

alien uses some kind of a super-science gadget on you.

I certainly hope the General isn't too hard on Major Trevor.

Perhaps if he is, a plea from a lovely girl might help.

Our statements may also be helpful.

I'll want regular reports on your investigation, Steve.

- And results. - Yes, sir.

Come on, Diana. We've got work to do.

I'm sorry, Mr. Bjornsen, from here on out, this matter is top-secret.

Even to a friendly, neutral Swedish newspaperman?

I know you're a neutral and have press clearance, but it's still top-secret.

Of course, I understand.

General Blankenship, have you met Mr. Bjornsen?

He's a very well-known correspondent.

And an admirer of yours, sir...

especially your theories on airborne invasion technique.

Well, that's most unusual, Mr. Bjornsen.

A civilian who understands technical military tactics.

Actually, sir, I could use your help and advice...

for a series of articles I'm doing on outstanding military theoreticians.

I guess I have a few minutes. Come in.

And we'll want to get a description of Andros...

out to every police station and sheriff's office, as well.

This is a full-scale search...

and I've got the final responsibility for finding him.

Is there any word on the location of the spacecraft, sir?

No, not yet.

I've got search teams crisscrossing...

every possible landing site in Virginia and Maryland...

and still nothing.

Sir, may I suggest alerting the civil-defense workers, too?

They may help supplement the search for both Andros and spacecraft.

- Good idea, why don't you take care of it? - Yes, sir. Right away.

If you get any other notions, go ahead with them.

Thank you, sir.

As a matter of fact...

I do have an idea.

A local god-figure?

A great human hero...

great because he made peace as well as war.

- Where is he now, Andros? - He's dead.

Humans are short-lived.

How did he die?

He was assassinated.

Of course.

I thought I might find you here.

How did you know me when I was Diana Prince?

I felt the difference between us.

And the sameness.

We're both exiles.

No. I'm a volunteer.

- A volunteer to help mankind? - Yes.

To work and fight for justice and democracy.

I think that's important and necessary, don't you?

Perhaps.

He's an example of what humans can achieve...

can be and should be.

You can help us...

- help the Allies against the Nazis. - No.

I am sworn to certain regulations. I must remain neutral.

Even though General Blankenship hopes I'll give him an arsenal of new weapons.

Mankind is destructive enough.

I understand.

When you arrived, the storms...

You can control the weather, can't you?

I thought you would understand. Yes, I use natural forces...

from tipping the mind to sleep...

- to changing the balance of atmosphere. - I don't understand.

The power you have, it's awesome.

I don't use it lightly.

As I said, I am not here to arm mankind, but to study it.

- Can I help? - I'd like that very much.

I need a guide.

And I need a friend.

$20.

That's a lot of money for a plain, hard-working Swedish newspaper man...

but, here, $20. I bet you...

that Andros demonstration will be at...

- Fort Meade. - No.

Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

I don't think I like this game anymore.

You're right, Etta, and I am sorry.

I know you can't talk about top-secret information.

You're right, everything is always so hush-hush.

But I do know one thing I can tell you.

What's that?

My phone number.

And this $20 would buy a terrific night out.

For two.

Now that's a remarkable idea.

I have agreed to this demonstration to make clear that I am very serious...

and that I must speak to the heads of your government.

I hope what I do here will make you accept that I am not from Earth...

and that I'm here on a most important mission.

I think you've made your point.

I agree, sir.

Then you do accept that Andros is from beyond this planet, gentlemen?

Yes, you've convinced me.

What exactly did you want to discuss with the President?

The Council of Planets is concerned about this war...

and about your atomic research at Oak Ridge.

I'm afraid that's top-secret.

Atomic power is the first step. And the next one is space travel.

Humans will swarm into the galaxy.

Space is vast.

And life is precious and rare.

We cherish it. We do not have wars.

- We didn't want this one, sir. - Who is "we"?

I come to visit not your country, General, but your planet.

And to make a determination.

If this brutal warfare is any image of what mankind is like...

then mankind cannot be allowed to advance into space.

What do you mean "cannot"?

If necessary, General, I will stop it.

How?

By earthquake, tidal wave, volcano...

forces that will topple your civilization.

I loathe the idea.

Then why?

I'm not a diplomat or a polite envoy.

I am judge, jury...

and, if necessary, executioner.

Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrah, and your Barbary Coast.

The names of the cities change, but the squalor and crime do not.

They have been in that meeting 45 minutes now.

You think Roosevelt will believe Andros?

That he is from another planet? I sure hope so. I think he will.

He's been completely briefed on everything that Andros has done...

- and said. - Do you know what I was just thinking?

It's a lot more important that Andros believe the President...

that we are men of good will...

and even though we're right in the middle of this World War...

there still is hope for this planet.

I want to speak to President Roosevelt and some of the leaders of Congress.

I'm not a diplomat or a polite envoy.

I am judge, jury...

and executioner.

I wish they'd call.

This waiting is getting to me.

There can't be too much longer now.

Blankenship.

Yes, Mr. President.

Yes, sir. I understand.

The meeting's over.

The President says he has no doubt that Andros is genuine.

That also he could be a very genuine threat.

He's ordered me to assemble a strike force...

for use against Andros...

if necessary.

It was good of you to wait while I spoke with President Roosevelt.

You know, if my determination is negative...

and I become a threat...

they're going to try to kill me, of course.

And fail.

Of course.

You understand?

I understand that I am Earth-born, Andros...

this is my planet, my world.

I know my mother, the Queen, and my sisters on Paradise Island...

would all agree with me.

We cannot allow you to pass judgment on Earth and destroy it.

I hope you're successful.

Tell me about your Paradise Island.

It's beautiful, it's tranquil and peaceful.

It's outside of time, Andros.

We cherish old ways.

We are close with the ancient, natural order of things.

We live together...

in harmony...

with our living Earth.

If these are basic in your beliefs, why don't you stop this war?

I would, but my powers are limited.

I'm trying. I've placed myself on the side of the Allies to end it.

- By force? - Lf it is necessary.

And is it?

- Is this a war between good and evil? - Yes, I think so.

I'm not yet convinced.

There may be neither good nor evil, only degrees of savagery.

No! You're wrong. There is a choice.

And human beings must be allowed to make that choice.

I was chosen for this mission because I didn't want it.

I want to find hope.

I want to see humankind grow into a true civilization...

into the great comity of planets.

Trust me.

And help me find a favorable answer.

Will you trust me?

Trust me to use my Golden Lasso...

so that I may know you're telling me the truth?

- Have you told me the truth? - Yes.

If you judge Earth a danger or threat to your Council of Planets...

will you destroy it?

- The Council will order it done. - Can we stop you?

No, I think not.

And if you could...

even though I'm monitored by the Council...

I must report via my spacecraft's comweb every three of your days.

If I am somehow killed or imprisoned and the report is not made...

an orbiting battle satellite will instantly attack.

And this planet will become a barren cinder.

I pray that will not happen.

You've spoken the truth to me...

but if it is necessary, we will try to stop you.

I understand.

We can be honest with one other.

We can trust one another.

And for that I'm very grateful.

Thanks, Harrison.

Keep him covered.

What's going on?

I thought that Andros was free to go anywhere he likes.

That's right, we're just keeping an eye on him.

And this strike force to assassinate him.

Only as a last resort. In case he tries to harm us.

If anything happens to Andros, the Earth will be destroyed.

Our only chance is to be honest with him, to trust him...

not to make a hopeless attempt to murder him.

My assignment is a logical military alternative...

and a patriotic necessity.

To quote Dr. Samuel Johnson, "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. "

- Yeoman Prince. - Yes, sir.

- Dismissed. - Aye-aye, sir.

- Etta, this is confidential. - Yes, sir. Absolutely.

This is Strike Force, Alpha Wings, sir. We've lost him.

You realize that these humans have armed soldiers following you?

Yes, of course. I frighten them.

But you still believe they are capable of civilization?

Yes.

Then we have come to a decision, Andros.

But the survey isn't complete.

True.

But we will refine the process.

If these primitives attack you...

we will not intervene to help.

You will survive or die alone.

I accept that.

They're capable of suspicion, but not mindless murder.

But if they kill you, Andros...

we'll destroy that planet instantly and completely.

No, I don't want a general alarm.

How'd you lose him in the first place?

Just keep looking.

Diana, I have a problem.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Bjornsen. - Paul, please.

Paul, what is it?

It's a problem with Andros.

I'm writing a feature about him for my newspapers...

but I have great respect for him, and I want to be sure...

- he is treated correctly. - I approve of that, Paul.

So I'd like to talk to him personally...

and I need your help to get to him.

I'm afraid that's impossible, Mr. Bjornsen.

Major Trevor already told you the matter is top-secret.

I don't want to get any secrets, just personal background.

- I'm afraid not. - But isn't it up to Andros?

Possibly.

Afternoon, Etta.

I have to talk to you for a second about Andros.

Will you excuse us a moment?

What is it?

Steve wanted me to find you. They've located Andros.

He's in the Library of Congress, reading old books of all things.

We've sent one of our men down there to watch him.

Steve wanted you to go and keep and eye on him.

That way he wouldn't get too suspicious.

- Something has come up. - Of course.

I understand. Wars have a way of coming between people.

Yes, we'll give each other a...

- Rain check. - A what?

When you have to stop in the middle of something...

and you want to start again as soon as possible.

Yes, a rain check, it is.

You've got it.

Dr. Andros.

You will come with us.

Us meaning a Swedish news service?

We can discuss that later.

You believed in these savages. You were wrong.

- They haven't killed me. - They will.

We are canceling your power linkages.

We are deactivating your power source.

You trust these humans, you believe in them, now you are no more than human.

As vulnerable as they are. As easy to harm.

Take him.

We agreed to remove Andros' powers...

to test his belief in these humans, but now...

I'm afraid they will harm him.

Then he dies by his own choice.

And in dying he makes the decision final.

To rid the planet of the human disease.

Then notify the White House they've got Andros.

I want all the local police and the FBI on this. Out.

- How's Wonder Woman? - Alive, barely.

How does Paul Bjornsen figure in all this?

We managed to grab one of his men. He's talking now.

He is a Nazi. A deep spy planted years ago...

until something important enough came along.

Can't think of anybody more important. But don't worry, we'll get him.

I got a description of the truck they left in.

It's being sent to every police force from Florida to Nova Scotia.

I realize a truck that size can't manage some back roads.

But this was planned and I'm sure they'll change vehicles.

I want a police checkpoint on every road, track or cowpath...

leading out of here. Is that clear?

General, with your permission I'd like to go the base clinic now.

Of course, I'm praying for her, too.

Etta, have you heard anything about Wonder Woman?

I just spoke to the doctor. It seems she got hit by a poison gas.

- They don't know what it is. - What treatment are they using?

There is no treatment.

It seems she has an incredible ability to throw off the poison.

She's curing herself!

They got Andros. Bjornsen.

That's right. He's a Nazi agent.

We've already rounded up some people...

and the most massive search in history is going on now.

He must've had this very carefully planned.

Including the escape.

We have to get Andros back.

If the Council of Planets is monitoring what's been happening...

they might launch an attack on the Earth and destroy it.

We've got to find a way to message to them...

- to tell them we'll try to save Andros. - But how can we do that?

I know there's communication equipment on the spaceship.

We were never able to find the spaceship.

Careful.

I'm all right.

I have to find the spacecraft and a way to send that message.

You can't go now. You've been poisoned. It's much too early to leave the hospital.

Steve, I'm going...

to find the spacecraft myself. I'm all right.

We've searched that area a dozen times and come up empty a dozen times.

I know which direction he came from and where he was first seen.

I have to make one final search, for him.

If I don't it might be fatal for Earth.

One of the primitives is trying to activate Andros' key control.

Let her, Gorel.

If the correct signal isn't set,

the satellite would automatically destroy their planet.

We won't have to bother.

And now, the conclusion of Judgment From Outer Space.

One of the primitives is trying to activate Andros' key control.

Let her, Gorel.

If the correct signal isn't sent...

the satellite would automatically destroy their planet.

We won't have to bother.

General, I just received a report of an unidentified submarine.

A PBY spotted it this morning.

I checked AtCom and none of our subs are in that area.

It could be the way of getting Andros out of the country.

Red alert the anti-sub patrol immediately...

and get every available PBY in the air.

I want that craft identified and seized.

We've got to get Andros back.

The Nazi humans now have Andros prisoner...

and are taking him to their homeland.

How much more must we see before the judgment is made?

Please, if you hear me...

wherever you are...

Andros has been captured by the Nazis...

and he needs whatever strength and powers that you can give him.

He told me about his mission here on Earth.

There are good people here, people worth saving.

People who right now are risking their lives...

to try to save a stranger like Andros.

If you can hear me...

please help.

I still say all humans are alike and not worth saving.

It is Andros' mission to decide that.

We cannot leave him without hope as you would wish it.

Then leave him the spacecraft.

If he can gain his freedom...

and if his humans are civilized enough to help him...

why, then, he's proved his point.

Otherwise...

Let him die? Alone, among savages?

Andros chose the test.

I call a vote.

As the Council has decided.

We've been searching all sections of the north and south Atlantic...

for two weeks now.

We have to assume that they've gotten away with Andros.

I think we should proceed immediately on the information...

Prime Minister Churchill gave you.

Yes, Mr. President. I'll implement the plan immediately.

Churchill has told the President that British Intelligence...

knows of a heavily secured enemy intelligence interrogation center.

We feel sure that's where they'll take Andros.

It's heavily guarded and extremely difficult to penetrate.

But not impossible.

I'd like to volunteer to try.

- How soon can you leave for London? - Tonight.

Diana can look after the office while I'm gone.

Of course, sir.

I'll secure full cooperation from the British.

This interrogation center, what's it called?

Schloss Markheim.

- I trust you will be comfortable. - No matter, Mr. Bjornsen.

If you like you may wash, change clothes.

Dinner will be black tie in one hour.

And I'm invited?

You are the honored guest, Doctor.

Guest, of course.

Even given me a black tie.

- General Clewes. - Yes.

You're admirably prompt, Major Trevor.

I had a good flight, sir.

Yes, and God willing, an equally good one over the Schwarzwald.

I'd like to have you meet Evan Mallory.

- Steve Trevor. - My pleasure.

Thank you.

Mallory is going to guide you to the Nazi Interrogation Center...

Located at Schloss Markheim.

You see, I have a very solid false identity...

as a Nazi officer just returned from the Russian front.

You'll have papers identifying you as a technical aide on the mission.

Sounds like you've got everything set up.

- British efficiency. - British!

Dear, no, my friend.

I'm Welsh.

It's a temporary alliance against the Nazis, eh?

Welsh madman. But then, all the Welsh are a bit mad.

That's possibly why he's a most efficient secret agent.

- You're in good hands. - I'm sure of it.

- When do we leave? - Now. Within the hour.

- Good luck, sir. - Thank you, General.

You're the busy one.

Got a lot of things to clear up before this weekend.

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

The weekend. I thought maybe we could...

go down to the beach and splash in the water...

lie on the sand...

maybe drum up a little interest.

I'd love to, but I've already made plans for the weekend.

Really? What're you gonna do?

Well, you might say I'm going hunting.

Hunting? Diana, you couldn't hurt a fly.

I'm not going hunting to hurt anything.

I'm going to find something.

Hopefully.

You have no idea of how this mechanism works?

Only that it connects to some power source, sir.

I trust Dr. Graebner will soon tell us more.

We will begin analysis at once.

Question: This Andros will cooperate?

I think I can persuade him.

And if you cannot...

I have experts who can.

"Lieutenant Felzer. " Good papers.

The best.

There really is a Lieutenant Felzer.

He's on the Eastern front. He'd better stay there.

If he comes back, we will both be shot.

Dr. Andros, welcome to Markheim!

May I introduce Colonel-General Heinrich Von Dreiberg.

- Dr. Andros. - No "Doctor," please. Just Andros.

On my planet, we've given up the custom of using titles.

I'm Professor Graebner of the Ministry of Science.

And you, Dr. Andros, are you...

an alien from outer space?

I'm precisely what I claim to be.

But you are involved in atom research?

No, we completed our atomic research long ago.

Now our children learn atomic and sub-atomic physics...

in primary school much as your children learn primitive fire making.

Very interesting, Doctor.

But let us leave serious talk for later. Now, dinner.

May I introduce Fr�ulein Engel.

Shall we go in?

Bjornsen.

He is impertinent.

And the ridiculous cover story about an alien from outer space.

Gentlemen, he has already admitted his connection to atom research.

We are convinced he is a key scientist in the Allied scientific establishment...

but like many scientists, he is naive.

I think I can persuade him to join our cause.

And if you can't?

Sir, perhaps Fr�ulein Engel can.

I promised you, Andros...

that we'd have a chance to talk more privately.

And more pleasantly.

Well, I'm flattered.

Thank you.

Prosit.

It's beautiful, bubbly.

It's alive.

It's too bad the sparkle is so short-lived...

and then it's dead.

Tell me something.

Why do you let yourself be used like this?

A charming object...

sent off to seduce a stranger.

Love isn't a commodity.

It is at least, a gift...

at best, a sharing.

You remember when you were a little girl?

The ocean sunrises over Wesermunde.

The golden dreams of a knight come riding.

How did you know?

And the girl who knew she was beautiful.

No!

Touching.

I see you've decided to communicate with me again.

You do have faith in these primitives, Andros.

It is a quality the Council needs.

I'm exercising my privilege.

I'm canceling the Judgment's survey and bringing you back.

And this planet Earth?

Destroyed, of course.

No.

Andros, you must realize...

your romantic faith in these humans is false.

They've captured you. They will kill you.

No, they're not all savages.

I'm an anachronism, Gorel.

I'm a romantic. I still have faith.

You're wrong.

These people are savages.

And if they kill you, Andros...

I will lose a friend.

And their planet will be destroyed in any case.

You have quite a remarkable collection of artworks.

An example of our historic culture, Andros.

Seize her!

Come on, I'll get you out.

No, wait!

Wonder Woman, I can't leave yet.

There's much to learn here before I make a judgment.

They're holding you prisoner! They are Nazis.

Yes, they are Nazis.

Your friends are Republicans and Democrats.

The Russians are Communists. All different, all human.

I told you, I intend to meet the leaders of humankind.

- Including the Nazis? - Yes.

You brought me here by force...

but I would stay of my own will and necessity...

- if you do not harm Wonder Woman. - Of course.

We'll make you a good Nazi yet, Andros!

At the very least, you are an honored guest.

And you are quite a different kind of guest.

Take them away.

There is no doubt she is an Allied agent, this Wonder Woman.

So why do we play games, Bjornsen?

Take her below and have her questioned.

Questioned scientifically.

With all due respect, I disagree.

This Wonder Woman has been involved...

in some very curious episodes in the past.

There are reports of extraordinary physical strength...

- speed... - Utter nonsense.

She is a woman!

An unusual woman?

I suspect an experimental agent.

Perhaps the result of scientific processing.

Connected with this Dr. Andros?

Very possibly.

So I have arranged to leave them together.

Privately...

so to speak.

I don't understand...

how you can be friendly with the Nazis when they've taken you prisoner!

So did the Americans.

But that was different, for temporary security.

Americans don't make arbitrary arrests or use concentration camps.

I think you better explain that to Americans of Japanese descent.

Democracies are not perfect. I mean, there are...

mistakes made but not warfare against civilians.

Not deliberate torture.

Distinctions, not necessarily differences.

I'm not interested in national squabbles. I am here to study humanity.

Or inhumanity.

And you have no feelings, one way or the other?

I have very strong feelings.

That's why I cannot indulge them, believe me.

I'm as vulnerable as you are.

No.

You're a guest of Bjornsen, and his Nazi masters!

Bjornsen is a Nazi but all Germans are not Nazis.

I cannot judge him, or his beliefs until I understand them both.

I am a prisoner, and thanks to you, they have my Belt and my Lasso...

so I am as helpless as you.

Or else you would be trying to tear this castle to pieces.

Yes.

Who would be waging warfare then?

A few more days, and he will be on our side.

Good.

I will need his help. I must confess...

as of yet I don't understand the scientific principles behind his mechanism...

or the devices of that woman agent.

Andros will cooperate.

As for Wonder Woman...

No.

Nothing...

will happen to her.

Until she gives us the information we want.

I'll be careful.

All in order, Captain Braun.

But your case is slightly different, Lieutenant Felzer.

In what way?

Your papers indicate you have recently served on the Eastern front...

- von Paulus' command. - Yes. So?

As it happens, we have another man just back from the Eastern front...

Lieutenant Berghoff, also served under von Paulus, also in headquarters.

You two must have known each other.

Of course, it's possible, Captain Grau.

I'd like to meet him.

- Lieutenant Felzer. - Sir?

You have forgotten, your social life must wait...

until after we have delivered the dispatches.

Your General von Dreiberg is waiting for them personally.

If they are delayed...

Lieutenant Felzer will undoubtedly return to the Eastern front.

- And we will accompany him. - I apologize, sir!

Of course we can't have delays...

but I had Berghoff notified, he was eager to meet an old comrade.

Some other time.

Dispatches for General von Dreiberg.

Thank you, Captain.

I'm only asking for a few simple explanations.

We realize, of course, that these devices are connected...

to your American atom research.

Nonsense.

I expected you to be stubborn.

But you, Dr. Andros, I'm sure you can give us some details?

Do the Americans have an atom bomb yet?

Herr Bjornsen, I'm here to meet with your leaders.

Not discuss dangerous toys.

You call the most powerful explosive device...

known to scientific theory a toy?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be condescending.

But my people discovered basic atomics...

some thousands of your years ago and...

we experimented with it...

and then outgrew the uses of such power, such weapons.

We developed other uses: More effective, less clumsy and polluting.

- Enough of this other-world nonsense! - Please.

Let him continue.

We know planets where atomic explosives were discovered...

leading to war and destruction...

and the planets did not survive. Earth is entering the atomic age...

and if you do not outgrow your emotional primitivism...

you'll destroy yourselves, and others.

It is that we cannot allow.

Where's Felzer? Sorry.

I'm Lieutenant Berghoff. Felzer and I were pretty close on the Eastern front.

Berghoff, too bad!

You just missed him. He just went through a few minutes ago.

Then, perhaps, I can see him when he comes out.

He still has a uniform of mine that he borrowed...

and I'd like to get it back.

It must have been a very loose fit on you, Lieutenant.

No, as a matter of fact...

it's just about the best-fitting uniform I own.

But you can't be more than 5'9", 5'10"...

Felzer's at least 6'2", 6'3".

Georg Felzer?

Impossible. He and I are exactly the same height!

- Are you sure? - Positive.

Whoever he is, that man's an imposter.

Get me Oberst Bjornsen at once. Emergency!

I see.

Thank you, Captain Grau. We'll handle it.

General Von Dreiberg.

Major Trevor, how nice to see you again.

Disarm them!

Wonder Woman, you, too?

I came to free Andros. But he doesn't want to be freed.

Dr. Andros has become friendly.

But I think, Doctor, the time has come...

for you to give us a concrete demonstration of that friendship.

To be specific:

We know you're a key scientist in the American atom program.

We've been patient.

Those colorful stories of alien space.

But now: Facts.

- I told you. - You told us charming fairytales!

The Third Reich is at war. We need weapons. Atomic weapons.

No.

I think you're confused, Doctor.

I'm not asking you politely.

I have the top American female agent...

the head of an American Intelligence operation...

and the leading British spy in the Third Reich!

I have them! And you will see them die!

- You don't understand! Why don't you... - It is you who does not understand.

The talk is over!

Take them down. For questioning.

I'd get nightmares like this.

But I wasn't lucky enough to have you in them, Princess.

This leads to the wine cellar, which we have enlarged.

This whole section of the foundation was carved out of living rock.

It took us a year and a good deal of forced labor.

The ultimate plague: Man's inhumanity to man.

Rather the strong's use of the weak.

Not pretty, Dr. Andros, but the truth behind...

all power, all governments: Strength.

The strength of a frightened, evil child...

too terrified to trust in gentleness.

Only in paradise, Wonder Woman.

I hope not.

You will see we have modernized it a bit.

Have them cover all exits.

Put them in there.

We'll go to the laboratory.

Get your hands off...

Don't confuse heroism with stupidity.

You are a hundred meters down in the heart of the mountain.

You have very few options.

He's right, Steve, for now.

Look, you, the war isn't over yet.

But don't worry, Colonel.

I'll notify you when we've won. If you're still alive.

Professor Graebner has been examining your devices.

And I must admit, up till now I've made very little progress.

This is clearly a control mechanism of some kind...

operating on electronic principles.

These artifacts...

They are gifts.

But what do they do?

How do they function? I want detailed technical data.

There are none.

- You're being stubborn. - And stupid!

Let us start with your device, Dr. Andros. You will explain it.

Even if I were willing, it would be impossible.

You don't have the scientific knowledge.

It's not a machine.

It's part of my mind, perhaps, part of my soul.

That is mystic nonsense, and I want facts!

I'm sorry. No.

I'm disappointed, Andros.

Let me be clear.

If you refuse to cooperate...

- You'll use force on me? - No.

On her.

While you watch.

They are savages.

They have convinced me.

You are right.

I am a terrible threat to your planet, and yet you are here...

at risk of life, to help me...

and so is Major Trevor, and Evan Mallory.

The Americans, the Allies...

they have human virtues, human flaws...

- but the Nazis... - I don't need a lecture on ethics!

Nor would you understand it.

You spoke to me of your cultural inheritance.

Your inheritance is in a direct line with Genghis Khan, Attila.

You celebrate the darkness in the human soul.

Start on her!

Gorel!

Stop her!

If we could break up this bunk we could use it as a battering ram.

Lock all the exits, stop Wonder Woman.

Whatever happened, my dear princess...

your coming here to help me has renewed my faith in humankind.

I'm stripped of my powers.

The only way I can return to my spacecraft safely is with human help.

And I will have made a point.

If I'm killed...

Then it would prove we aren't civilized.

And then Earth...

Would end.

And you have risked your life for us.

No, for what I believe in.

I don't risk my life:

My life is what I believe in.

Too bloody well-made, bloody perfectionists.

Go after them.

That way!

Go on.

No, she's here to help us.

- How do you know you can trust her? - Andros knows.

I don't care about the rest of you but I won't see him killed!

This way.

A secret exit. In case of heavy bombing.

You can break the door, there's a tunnel that leads past the security points.

Thank you.

- Thank you, Lisa. - Don't.

- I don't even know why. - I do.

And when that knight comes riding he'll know, too.

I'm no longer important...

but Wonder Woman is. Surely by now you've seen the potential...

for good in humans.

Wonder Woman is the hope of the human race.

The hope of this entire misguided planet.

Grant me back my powers that I may help her.

Do you have your powers back?

Yes, because of you.

- Has the decision been reached, Andros? - Yes.

We found war, violence...

injustice and torture.

Your planet is troubled. Humankind is flawed with self-destruction.

But that is only a flaw.

It's the disease of racial childhood.

I found a balance.

And I remember how you gave me back my power:

Freely, ethically.

Then the Earth won't be destroyed?

No, the spirit be thanked. I won a vote in the Council.

Fifty of your years, Princess.

I am empowered to grant you that: 50 years.

And you'll have atomic power...

you'll begin to explore space...

- I hope you discover answers. - We will.

No, we may.

It's a question.

Perhaps the next 50 years will give us something of an answer.

I can answer in regards to you, Princess.

And I can offer you an invitation.

Come with me.

- Into space? - Yes, to the real world.

A planet of water, and a civilization of dolphins...

a planet of gardens, where you can meet plant intelligences...

a planet where the gravity allows you to fly.

There are thousands of worlds...

you can see them, you can even taste them if you wish.

Then spend some time with me.

Us.

On my home.

I can't. Andros, I'm pledged as well...

to my Earth...

humanity and my destiny.

Of course.

It's only 50 years.

In 1992, I'll be back and renew my offer.

Hi, Diana.

The General still in with Steve?

I know that look.

Who's the fella?

I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said.

I said you were thinking about a guy.

And I want to hear all about it, in minute detail.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking about someone...

- but by this time he is very far away. - Overseas?

You might say so.

Don't worry, he'll be back.

I'm not worried. He'll come back, I know, he promised.

And he seems to be a man of his word.

The White House just called. The President wants your final report on Andros.

Final report?

The man's vanished from the face of the earth...

that's about the only final report I can make.

The General's right.

How do we know it's a final report if we can't find a trace of Andros?

From what you told me, Andros was the most honest man you'd ever met...

he said he was going back to his own planet, why doubt him?

I don't.

I guess I'm just a little jealous, that's all.

I saw the way Wonder Woman looked at him...

and just wanted to make 100% sure he is gone.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

No matter how much Andros would have wanted...

Wonder Woman to go back with him...

I'm sure she'd rather stay here with you.

With us.

All personnel clear the test area.

Bazooka teams are ready.

Bomb squad is ready.

Test vehicle is manned and ready.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Commence operation.

Well, gentlemen, thank you very much.

Boy! That was really an impressive demonstration, General.

Absolutely amazing.

- Steve. - Yes, sir.

I wanted you to see for yourself...

just how important Professor Moreno's formula really is.

The tires on that truck were made of rubber...

treated with Moreno's secret Formula 407.

The land mine explosions, the bazooka shell, they're all direct hits...

- but not one sign of tire damage. - Exactly.

Moreno's formula not only makes rubber practically as strong as steel...

it also makes it more durable than anything we've tested.

Travel orders are being cut for you right now.

- Travel orders? For where? - Buenos Aires.

Professor Moreno's a neutral, a citizen of Argentina...

but he knows our cause is just and has offered his formula to us.

You'll proceed immediately, pick up the formula...

and hand-deliver it back to Washington.

- Yeoman Prince. - Yes, sir.

According to your service file, you speak Spanish.

Yes, sir, I do, fluently.

Good. You will accompany Maj. Trevor and act as his official interpreter.

Yes, sir.

Why didn't I pay more attention in my high school Spanish class?

This isn't going to be a pleasure cruise.

Yes, sir.

Officially, Argentina's a neutral country.

But there are a great many people there who are very pro-German.

I'll feel a lot better when you're both back safely with that formula.

- The consistency holds. - For the hundredth time.

With a formula of this importance, you can't be too sure.

But we are sure. It's a marvelous formula.

We tested it and tested it, and we tested it again.

There is not a doubt in the world.

It will do everything you dreamed it would.

Yes, I know you're right.

But I've worked so hard for so many years.

I can't believe it's developed exactly as I calculated it would.

If it weren't for this horrible war...

you could publish a paper on your formula...

and win all the scientific awards there are to win.

Awards are not important, not while half the world is fighting to survive.

If my formula can help stop the killing...

then all my work will have been worth it.

We're Argentineans. We're supposed to be neutral.

Where Nazis are concerned, how can one be neutral?

Anyway, the American agents will be here soon.

They'll take the formula to Washington.

And then Lydia and I will go on vacation.

And if you wish, you're more than welcome to join us.

A vacation. That sounds very nice.

...and inasmuch as our direct source of raw rubber has been cut off...

from here and here...

you can well imagine how important this Professor Moreno's formula...

- has become to our war effort. - Yes, sir.

We must keep it out of the Americans' hands at all costs, do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Not only out of their hands, but you, Major...

must bring it back here to help bring about our own victory.

Nothing will go wrong, sir.

Our tanks will roll into Paris, London, and New York...

on treads made of the Professor's Formula 407.

When you return to Berlin, after what I know will be a most successful mission...

I'll personally see to it that you're promoted to general staff rank.

Thank you very much, sir.

I will not fail.

- Hi, Diana. - Hi.

Finished packing yet?

Yes. And as soon as I finish with these papers...

Maj. Trevor and I will be on our way to the airport.

Do you have any idea how much I envy you?

You and Steve alone...

under an incredibly huge South American moon.

That's scientifically impossible.

The moon is the same size in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

- Diana, sometimes I don't understand you. - Why?

I'm talking about hot-blooded gauchos...

sizzling romance, exciting adventure.

You're talking as if you're going around the corner to the grocery store.

Well, this is an assignment, you know, and I have to be on duty.

I give up, Diana. You're hopeless.

...and even though Argentina's supposed to be neutral...

it's still a pretty hot spot.

Nazi agents?

Agents, saboteurs, provocateurs, you name it.

It seems as if there are more accents here than in Berlin.

They all have Swiss passports...

and all seem to work for an import-export company in Geneva.

- How did you know? - Lucky guess.

With all the pro-German sentiment here...

we're lucky to have a friend in Professor Moreno.

You don't have to worry about that.

Moreno's one of the great men of this or any other time.

He won't let anyone but us have that formula. Thank God for that.

It's a shame about all this.

- Buenos Aires is such a lovely city. - Yes, I can see.

I hope I get to see everything. I promised a friend I was gonna tell her all about it.

The embassy is outside of town. It's a lovely drive. You'll see everything.

Thank you, sir.

Americans!

You can bet if they were Nazi agents, they would arrive on time.

Not in Buenos Aires. Anyone would be late.

Be patient, Hans. It won't be much longer.

I never could stand waiting like this.

Hans, patience.

You're not in Munich beer cellars any longer.

You just can't break heads like you used to.

When we finish here...

we'll let it be known in town that the Argentine peasants...

rose in fury against the hated Americans...

in a spontaneous demonstration.

The American agents will be taken care of.

There'll be an exchange of letters between foreign agencies.

And that will be an end of it.

Here they come!

All right. Out!

Leave the girl. It's Trevor and the ambassador we want.

All right. Out!

- Don't worry. Take care of the driver. - Come on. Move!

Move along!

Are you okay?

Come on. Let's get out of here!

Wonder Woman! What are you doing in Buenos Aires?

I came to help.

Help? Young lady, you were like the United States Cavalry.

Cavalry?

Yes, arriving in the nick of time like that.

Didn't you ever go to the Saturday matinees when you were a kid?

You didn't? Then it's a date. Someday I'll take you to the movies...

and show you how the cavalry always arrives in the nick of time.

- Are you all right, Mr. Ambassador? - Yeah, I'm fine, thanks to this young lady.

If I hadn't seen that with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

I still don't believe it. I'll bet they don't, either.

Thanks again. We would have been in real trouble...

if you hadn't come along when you did.

- Yeoman Prince and the driver. - They're all right.

The driver was just stunned...

and your very capable assistant is taking care of him.

Goodbye.

- Wonder Woman, wait. - Yes?

We're going to a party at Professor Moreno's.

Why don't you come along?

Are you expecting more trouble?

As a matter of fact, we're not. Quite the contrary.

We expect it to be a very enjoyable evening.

Perhaps. We'll see. I've never been in Buenos Aires before...

and there are so many things I'd like to see.

Goodbye, Steve.

It's lovely.

Ambassador McCauley, how nice of you to come.

It's truly a pleasure to be here.

Allow me to present Major Steve Trevor.

- Maj. Trevor. - How do you do?

Yeoman Diana Prince.

Miss Prince.

It's really my fault that we're late.

You see, I wanted to stop by the embassy first to change clothes.

May I say it was worth every minute. You look lovely, Miss Prince.

The days seemed like months...

waiting for you to come and take my formula safely to Washington.

Tomorrow you shall have it...

and all the supporting research journals...

and my long waiting period will be over.

Now, enough business. I'd like you to meet my family. Come.

Yeoman Prince, Maj. Trevor. You know Ambassador McCauley.

Maria.

My pride and joy, the apple of my eye, my daughter, Lydia.

Papa.

And my assistant, Maria.

- It's so nice to meet you. - It's a pleasure.

There would be no great formula if it were not for my Maria here.

She's not only my assistant, my researcher, but she's my...

- how shall I say it? - Your right hand?

Yes. My right hand.

But I'll be losing her soon, isn't that so?

Professor.

And there he is, the man who's gonna take her away from me:

Her fianc�.

Your wine is really very delicious, Mr. Moreno.

Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.

When this terrible war is over...

and more normal lines of distribution are open...

then the world will get to know how wonderful our Argentinean wines are.

It really is excellent wine, Professor.

Perhaps when there's peace in the world again...

my firm can make some exporting arrangements with you.

I'd be delighted, Karl.

I thought the European wines were wonderful. Wouldn't that be like...

Like carrying coals to Newcastle.

That would be a tough sale, wouldn't it, Mr. Keller?

We Swiss are a stubborn breed. Challenges urge us on to greater heights.

In business?

In everything, Mr. Trevor.

Shall we go into the sitting room...

where coffee, brandy, and, hopefully, good conversation awaits us?

- Thank you very much for the dinner. - It was excellent.

- Diana. - Yes?

- My one true weakness. - What?

American girls.

You are so smart, so healthy.

And you always have such a good figure.

It's true, the legs are always good.

The legs?

Do you know, Diana...

if you would only take those terrible glasses off...

you'd be a most attractive lady.

I'm afraid a very near-sighted one, as well.

I'm so very glad you have this business with my father, Maj. Trevor.

- Please, call me Steve. - Steve.

- Otherwise, we might never have met. - Yes, I was just thinking the same thing.

But then again, perhaps we were fated to meet.

- Do you believe in fate, Steve? - Sometimes.

- Now? - Positively.

Good, that makes me very happy.

Our Lydia seems to be quite taken with the American.

Yes, Lydia's very young, and he's quite attractive.

It's a new game to her.

She does play it very well.

The American could very well be...

in a great deal more danger with her than with us.

Please, Karl, you said no one would get hurt.

Of course no one will be hurt.

But your Major Steve Trevor is one of the Americans' great war heroes.

If he should try to stop us...

Karl, you promised.

I will try my very best to see that no one is hurt.

I gave you my word as an officer on that.

Besides...

the formula is the only really important thing.

It will help us win the war that much sooner and put an end to all the suffering.

That's not such a bad goal, is it?

Why don't you join the others in the living room?

I'm going to take a walk and get a little fresh air.

I'll join you in a little while.

Major Keller.

Sorry, sir. We didn't realize it was you.

Thank you. Very good.

I'm delighted to see you're so alert.

Your orders are to see no one leaves and you're doing that.

- Are all your men in position? - Yes, sir.

Good.

- All the estate exits are covered. - Very good.

We've had a stroke of good luck.

Not only are we going to snatch the formula...

right out from under the Americans' noses...

but they've sent one of their most famous war heroes here to pick it up.

Major Steve Trevor.

We'll take him back with us.

But, Major, what of Wonder Woman?

I know what you said, it was all in your report. But really...

But it was true, Major. She threw our men around as if they were pebbles.

I would have to see this Wonder Woman for myself.

She was successful last time...

because she took you by surprise.

You will be ready for her next time, won't you?

Yes, sir.

Then let me hear no more of any super-powerful woman...

who defeats Nazi soldiers.

Keep your men alert and wait for my signal.

What is it, Maria?

Nothing, I was just thinking.

No more of that, we've done enough thinking for one day.

And first-rate thinking, too.

My reports from Washington are that that formula of yours is extraordinary.

My only wish is your government puts it to good use...

and ends this terrible war as quickly as possible.

You can count on it.

Please, Mr. Antonio, you'll really have to stop saying things like that.

How can I?

Behind those awful glasses and that severe hairstyle...

there's an exciting, vibrant, beautiful woman. I'm sure of it.

But it's true and I must say it.

What a lovely night.

A bright moon, all those stars.

- It would be a shame to waste it. - We're not going to.

Come on, Steve, I will show you why Argentine nights like this are so famous.

- Famous? For what? - That's what I'm going to show you.

Please, Mr. Antonio, I do think you are getting the wrong idea.

But how can romance ever be the wrong idea?

When there's only one person with it on their mind.

I believe you have a phrase here in Argentina:

It takes two to tango.

Diana, my dear.

Mr. Antonio, I'm afraid I must warn you...

the W.A.V.E. Training manual is quite explicit on its instructions...

on the handling of unwarranted attentions.

But what do instruction manuals know?

I'll bet there's not one chapter on Argentine gentlemen.

If you keep this up, there's going to be one.

Your friend Antonio's really rushing Yeoman Prince.

She's an attractive woman...

and South American men are trapped by the "romantic lover" image...

they feel they must forever uphold.

But beware, it's we South American women who are really dangerous.

How dangerous?

You're beautiful.

I knew the romance of the Argentine nights would finally get to you.

May I have a glass of champagne, please?

Yes, of course. I'll be right back.

Thank you very much.

- Good morning, Professor. - Good morning.

- Have you been here all night? - Yes.

I'm sorry I left the party so early.

I just wanted to recheck everything before turning it over to the Americans.

- Did you see everyone off all right? - Yes. Yeoman Prince left early by herself.

Anything to get rid of Antonio.

He was furious. He left in a huff right afterwards.

The ambassador left on his own, too.

And Maj. Trevor was with Lydia in the gardens.

They make a wonderful couple, don't they?

Yes, they do.

But still, alone...

so late in the garden on their first date. They should've been chaperoned.

Professor. It's 1942.

There is nothing wrong with a pretty young lady like Lydia...

to share the moonlight in the garden with a very handsome man.

Until all hours of the night?

I'll have to talk with her when she gets up.

Hello. It's hardly a good morning.

Are you all right?

I think so. They must have used chloroform on me.

It smells terrible.

I think I'm all right.

We're in a wine cellar.

Don't try yelling for help. I've done that. These walls must be four feet thick.

It's obvious the Nazis are after Formula 407.

- Can you stand up? - I can try.

- You sure you're okay? - I'll be fine in a moment.

Whatever it was they gave you sure packs a wallop.

A wallop?

It's just an expression. The main thing is you're all right.

- There we go. - Incredible.

Maybe we can trick the guards.

If I can just tip this over.

Get their attention.

Wonder Woman.

Come on. Hurry up!

But se�or Keller, I don't understand.

It's not se�or, it's Major Keller...

on special assignment with the S.S.

So this is your nice Swiss fianc�? This Nazi?

There is no need to be concerned, Professor.

I will guarantee the safety of you and your family.

And the Americans?

They are of no consequence. I am only concerned with the formula.

No, I cannot give it to you.

Please, Professor, it would be better if you do.

How could anything be better with you people out to destroy the world?

It is unfortunate you feel that way.

Not only must we have the real formula...

but you must construct a false formula to send to Washington.

That way the Americans will manufacture defective, inferior rubber for months...

before they realize what's happened.

And with that defective equipment doing battle with ours...

the odds will be so much in our favor...

that I really will have earned my promotion, won't I?

There's only one thing wrong with your plan.

You can never get me to do anything for you.

Never say never, Professor.

I said never.

Even if it means never seeing your daughter, Lydia, again?

Lydia?

- What have you done with her? - We have her prisoner.

She is quite safe. For now.

But you must cooperate to keep her that way.

You're lying. She's sleeping upstairs in her room.

I'm afraid not.

She went for a walk after dinner with the American.

And that's the last time you saw her.

Isn't that right?

Their moonlit stroll was...

shall we say "interrupted. "

The American is now tied up in your basement...

and Lydia is our guest somewhere.

You said no one would be hurt!

And you believed him, this Nazi!

You have exactly one hour...

to see that the real formula is delivered to me.

I wonder what happened to Yeoman Prince and Ambassador McCauley.

I'm sure they're probably very safely back at the embassy.

Must have left last night thinking I was still out sharing the moonlight with Lydia.

Lydia! Why didn't they have her tied up with us?

Steve, she's much too valuable to them.

I'm sure they've got her in a very special hiding place.

Right. That's how they'll put pressure on Professor Moreno.

Maria...

Please, don't cry.

Come sit down.

It's all my fault.

I've made such a mess of things.

You believed a man who lied to you.

Women have been making that mistake for centuries.

But now, because of me, we might never see Lydia again.

We will see her again.

You can't give Karl the formula.

I thought of him as a decent man...

only interested in ending the war as quickly as possible.

Now...

I know him for what he really is.

Another murderer.

Please, Professor, you can't give them the formula...

and help them win.

I know I can't.

But I can't stand by and watch them kill Lydia, either.

Now, please, leave me to my work.

Go and rest. Go on.

I will do whatever I have to do.

Professor Moreno.

- Maj. Trevor, you're all right. - Yes, I'm okay.

And this must be the famous Wonder Woman.

You flatter me, Professor.

The best friend any of us will ever have.

But they said they were holding you prisoner.

They were. Wonder Woman helped me escape.

They said they were holding Lydia prisoner, too.

Where's Lydia?

I'm sorry, we don't know. But don't worry, we'll find her.

If they lied about keeping you prisoner...

they must have lied about keeping Lydia prisoner.

No, they had me tied up and neatly locked away, that's for sure.

They jumped us last night when Lydia and I were taking a walk.

We've looked all through the house for her.

We've had to be very careful because they've got guards everywhere.

We're sure they're not holding her here.

Yes, but where?

Wherever it is, she's probably very secure.

They're using her to pressure you for the formula.

I know, Keller told us that.

- Keller? He's behind this? - Yes.

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Professor...

you aren't going to give them the formula, are you?

I have no choice.

I know what it will mean to the world for the Nazis to win this war.

But I'm not strong enough to stand by and watch my daughter, my child, in danger.

Professor Moreno...

I know how you must feel, but you can't give them that formula.

Please, give us some time, we'll find Lydia for you.

No, I cannot take a chance on my daughter's life.

Professor, trust us.

I promise, we'll get her back safely for you.

Who are you?

A friend.

Whose friend?

Yours, I hope.

- What do you want? - To help.

We must find Lydia.

You're a stranger, I've never seen you before.

Why do you care what happens to any of us?

Why shouldn't I care? You're good people.

All of you.

It is all done, sir.

The girl is in the cabin, tied and bound.

We have communicated with U-boat 275...

and they will rendezvous as ordered at 1400 hours.

Good. 1400 hours will give us plenty of time.

Maria, I know you made a mistake.

And I can understand how that could happen.

I saw the way you looked at Keller.

Saw? When?

That doesn't really matter. I know you loved him very much.

And he used that love to make you betray the Professor and Lydia.

I know how you must feel.

No, you can't know.

I do understand.

That's why you must help us find her.

If only I could.

Karl never told me the truth.

Not about Lydia, not about anything.

I don't know where they're holding Lydia. I don't know!

The Professor will give us the real formula...

deliver the false one to the Americans...

and we will be on our way back to Berlin as heroes.

And the girl?

It will be your duty, Dietrich, to take care of her.

Keller's down there with his men.

Yes, it's time.

They've come for the formula and the supporting research journals.

And will you give it to them?

I still don't know.

I don't want them to have it any more than you do...

it's my daughter that they're holding.

Let's go.

Time's up. You're gonna have to make a decision.

All right.

Maj. Trevor, I'll do whatever you think is best.

Good.

- Do you have a phony formula ready? - Yes.

All right. The first thing I want you to do is pass it off as the real thing.

When they leave with it...

I'll follow them and make sure that Lydia is safely released.

All right.

You, come with me. Schmidt, guard the door.

Your hour is up, Professor.

Yes, I'm just finished.

Here's the formula and the research journal.

It's very foolish of you to try and trick me this way, Professor.

Trick you? I don't know what you mean.

This is not the real formula.

Why do you suppose the high command singled me out for this mission?

Before the war, I was a research assistant working on a formula similar to yours.

We never achieved the success you have.

But I'm still experienced enough to know an unworkable formula...

for what it is when I see it.

I want the real formula, Professor...

and I want it right now.

But I assure...

And I mean right now.

Thank you, Professor.

You've performed a great deed for the Third Reich and we thank you for it.

You will release my Lydia?

Lock the old man up.

Both the formula and a captured American war hero.

Quite a coup.

Let me see what's happening.

Cover the back.

We must stop them.

No, it's better if I follow them.

Stay here and look after Professor Moreno.

Perhaps it would be better if there were no witnesses left alive...

in neutral Argentina.

Yes, sir. I understand.

- Join us at the beach. - Yes, sir.

You there, stop!

Where are they taking Maj. Trevor? And where are they holding Lydia Moreno?

No.

Tell me, where is Maj. Trevor?

A rendezvous on the beach with a U-boat, 1400 hours.

And Lydia?

An old shack, on a cliff above the beach.

Take care of the Professor. He can't harm you now.

All right, let's get him to the beach.

Come on. Out.

Come on, move!

All right, this is far enough.

Our transportation is waiting.

Take care of the girl.

- Are you all right? - Yes, thank you.

- You're sure you're all right? - Yes.

Okay.

Now don't worry. Stay here.

I'll be right back.

It's Wonder Woman. Get her.

Hi, what took you so long?

Steve.

Diana, the postcard made it sound so exciting.

And a handsome, romantic South American...

and all that moonlight, and walking...

And don't forget a half a dozen Nazis and a squad of enemy frogmen.

Come on, Steve.

Buenos Aires is still a very romantic place.

In fact, I'd like to go back there sometime...

when there's time to enjoy it.

And with a special someone...

just like in a movie.

If that special someone happens to be Antonio Cruz...

I wouldn't bet on him waiting for anyone.

No, he wasn't the one I had in mind.

But, maybe Lydia will still be waiting for you.

Lydia?

Private Candy...

please tell General Blankenship I've just come back from Ordnance.

And the first heavy equipment using the Professor's formula...

will come off the production line within a week.

Yes, sir, I'll tell him right away.

Later.

If it wasn't for Wonder Woman...

that formula would be in the hands of the enemy by now.

I wonder how she always knows when we need her the most.

Well, it could be feminine intuition.
