MAN: Oh, yes, you tell him that.

Yes. And what's more, tell him I meant it.

Now, Ed, you handle that, too, huh?

And please, make sure it's at least 15 minutes

before you call me back, okay?

( growls )

I tell you, somebody ought to write a best-seller

about the newspaper industry.

Call it "Jellyfish."

Some of my managing editors have as much backbone as a...

as an earthworm.

Now I understand why you installed a phone

on this ship before an anchor.

Yeah, I didn't want to see myself coming back into port

the proud publisher of 18 weekly readers.

( foghorn honks )

You know, I think we're getting back just in time.

Looks like it's starting to close in.

Yeah, I think you're right.

What is that over there?

I don't know, let's take a look.

Looks like somebody on a raft.

Right.

Let's get over there.

Yes, sir.

PENROSE: All right, cut the engine!

She breathing?

Yeah, I think so.

Let's get her on board ship. Take her to a hospital.

MAN: Let her try to paddle back to that world from which she came.

Fools and ingrates.

They surround us.

Now, now.

We shan't worry, my lovely.

The lost has been found.

Simon Penrose has her now.

But he won't have her long.

* Wonder Woman *

* Wonder Woman *

( thunderclap )

* Wonder Woman *

* Get us out from under *

* Wonder Woman *

* Wonder Woman *

* Wonder Woman! *

( phone rings )

DIANA: Yes.

Who?

Penrose.

Oh, right, put him on.

Diana? Simon Penrose.

Simon, it's been a long time. How are you?

I'm fine and I'm in need of a favor.

Well, seeing as how the last time

I think it was me saying that, I'm listening.

I'm out here in California, Long Beach.

We picked up a little girl out of the ocean yesterday.

She was and still is unconscious and has been hospitalized.

Who is she?

That's one question nobody is able to answer.

She matches no missing persons report.

Uh, fingerprints, footprints have been run through

a couple of hundred computers without any ruffle.

That sounds hard to believe.

Yes, and it's hard for an old newspaperman like me to accept.

I'd like you to come and see if you can identify her.

The IADC has people who specialize in that

sort of thing, you know. And they also have people who

specialize in evasive rhetoric and bureaucratic double-talk.

Now, if I wanted heartburn, I would have called them.

But I want straight answers. That's why I'm calling you.

Well, I guess I could, uh, be there tomorrow.

You can be here this afternoon.

My plane's waiting for you at Dulles.

It's nice to know you haven't changed, Simon.

I'm hoping that you haven't.

Oceanside Hospital, Long Beach.

There'll be a pass for you at the door.

( Penrose hangs up )

Any changes, Jerry?

No, I'm afraid not.

Why can't you do anything for her?

She's not responding to treatment like she should.

She's just a mystery to everyone in my field.

PENROSE: Yeah, she may die without anyone even knowing her name.

Now look, as a newspaper man and a human being,

I find that possibility abhorrent.

I'm afraid it's a very real one.

Well, I'll be in my office.

I'm expecting a woman, Diana Prince.

She should be here this afternoon.

Now I expect full cooperation from you and your staff.

WOMAN ( over PA ): All available interns report to emergency.

All available interns...

Oh.

( elevator dings )

I know you're Barbie.

They told me there was a goddess

on the sixth floor, so you must be Barbie.

And you must be a new intern.

Lou Davis.

Budding but brilliant radiologist.

Barbie Brown.

Brilliant but, um, married with two children, R.N.

( beeping wildly )

( normal beeping resumes )

He's at that age

where absolutely nothing in the house is sacred.

Okay, okay.

I'm convinced.

Uh, and extremely disappointed.

Aw, well, as I'm sure they say in x-ray...

BOTH: That's the breaks.

Yes.

See you later, Barbie.

Don't count on it, Lou.

Oh, hold it.

Oh, miss, you can't go in there.

Uh, well, I'm Diana Prince

and I'm from the I.A.D.C.

They gave me special clearance downstairs.

Okay, right.

Uh, Mr. Penrose is expecting you.

I'd like to be able to tell you

she's getting better but I'm afraid that...

how could this happen?

The doctor was just in here.

It's the men with the cart. In the elevator.

I'll call security.

( thunderclap )

You better take care of her.

She's more important to you than we are.

Get after them!

You'd better hurry up and get well, young lady.

We have a lot to talk about.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, looks like you're recovering quite nicely.

How's the food?

It's okay.

Not quite chocolate shake and fries, is it?

Ooh, someone brought you clothes.

Simon did.

I wish I had a blouse like this. It's beautiful.

May I sit down?

Sure.

My name is Diana and I'm a friend of Mr. Penrose.

What's your name?

I know this must be all very confusing to you.

This country must be very different from you're from.

I know the jewelry that you wear lets you do things

no other boys and girls can do.

And I also know that it cannot be taken off.

Did someone try to kidnap you

because of that necklace and those bracelets?

How did you know?

The woman you saw before when those men tried to hurt you...

Wonder Woman?

She told me about Ilandia.

That's where you're from, isn't it?

Can Wonder Woman take me back?

Maybe, if she can figure out who kidnapped you.

He's awful.

His eyes...

they shine.

I was afraid.

Bleaker.

I was afraid people would laugh at me

if I try to tell them where I'm from.

I was scared they wouldn't believe me.

I know, I know.

Hoo-hoo.

Well, it's nice to see you eating like a football player.

You think she'll be in shape in time

for the Broncos' summer training?

Oh, if the Broncos are lucky, she will.

Hmm, I'll tell you what, little girl--

and I'm tired of calling you "little girl."

You know, I think I'll give you another name.

Tina. Unless you want to tell me your real name.

Tina's fine.

All right, then Tina it is.

Although I don't know how it'll look on the Bronco roster.

Tina.

Can I talk to you outside?

Is it important?

Yeah.

Alright. See you in a little while.

Be right back.

Well, what is it?

I hope your IADC connections

have finally come up with something.

No, they're still working on it.

What I want to talk to you about is that...

Simon, I think you're pushing too hard.

She has to learn to trust us, she needs time.

Time has long been an enemy of mine,

as it is with those whose life is composed of deadlines.

I have a metaler just coming up here

in 20 minutes to try to trace the jewelry that she's wearing.

Simon, she's very protective of that jewelry.

She might object.

PENROSE: Well, I'm sure that, uh...

the miracles of modern medicine, there is a pill or two

that would overrule her objections.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

You're pushing too hard.

PENROSE: Me? Pushing?

I'm trying to find out who she is

and where she's from-- that's pushing?

In doing so, you're gonna scare her half to death.

She already feels like a freak.

I've been in this business for over 30 years.

I know what I'm doing.

That hardly qualifies you for an award in human relations.

Besides which, I'd like to remind you

that you did fly me out here

and I assume it was because

you trusted my judgment.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, Diana. I do trust your judgment.

But this kid has become such an obsession with me.

I don't know why.

You did name her Tina.

Yeah, so what?

Your wife's name was Christine, wasn't it?

Yeah, and, she had blonde hair and blue eyes.

But look, spare me the psychology lesson, Miss Prince.

Let's just, uh, focus our attention on the living.

Tina.

Tina.

Oh...

( seagulls crying )

Please, come get me.

( dog whimpering )

Come on, boy.

Come on.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Come on.

Come on, that's good.

Come here, boy, come on.

( whimpers )

Come on.

That's right, come on.

Come on, I'm not going to hurt you.

( whimpers )

Come here, boy, come on.

( whimpers )

Come on.

( whimpers )

Come on, boy. Come on.

Come on, come on. Oh, yeah.

Now that's it. That's a good boy.

See, I'm not going to hurt you.

Yeah. Hey, you want to play?

Hey, yeah. Here's a stick. Can you go get it?

( barking )

Come on, come on.

Come on, boy. Come on, come on.

Come on. Can you get that? Yeah.

You're lost, too, aren't you? Just like me.

You wish you could go home, too.

( whimpers )

The people I miss are somewhere out there.

They don't know what's happening to me,

but I'm trying to go home. And I will go home.

And when I do, I'll never leave.

Never, ever again.

TREVOR: She's gone?

I'm sorry to hear that, Diana.

Do you think she was abducted?

Well, we're not sure yet.

Have you got anything on those two men

who tried to take her out before?

No, I'm afraid not. IRA, drew a complete blank.

Well, let's give him a chance to redeem himself.

I'd like a readout on everything he's got

on a scientist named Bleaker.

Bleaker? He's a legend, Diana.

A mythological antihero of the underworld.

Antihero, yes.

Myth, no.

I have reason to believe

that he's all too real.

Come on.

We'll get you something to eat.

Hey, you found something, huh?

Good for you.

What do you want?

You're going to do me a little favor.

Forget it.

No, you forget it. Now, see that window up there?

All I want is for you to crawl through that window,

go around to the side door

and open it up for me.

So you can rob the place?

Maybe I'll share.

Now, you're the right size, let's go.

Shut up, you stupid dog! Get out of here!

( bracelets humming softly )

( siren blaring )

MAN: This just in: Authorities in Long Beach

report that the so-called "mystery child"

who has been missing since 12:30 this afternoon, has been found.

"Tina," as she has been nicknamed by the press,

remains in the custody of the police,

who still have no clues as to who she is

or where she came from.

Did you hear that, my lovely?

She's in custody!

That means she can be watched, followed,

and, at the proper moment, taken!

We have her, my lovely.

We as good as have her!

All the paperwork has been taken care of?

Well, my attorneys are finally working

for the retainers that I keep them on.

Until Tina's parents are found, she'll be in my custody.

Ah, here she is now.

Tina!

Hi, Simon. Hi, Diana.

Hello, Tina.

How are you, sweetheart?

Fine.

Ready to go home?

Yeah.

( barking )

Here, boy, come on.

Yeah...

Come on. Come on.

Oh, look what she's got here.

( chuckles )

Would you like to take the dog home with you?

Oh, please, yes. Can I?

Of course you can. Do you have a name for him?

Tiger.

Tiger. Well, what do you think of Tiger?

I think Tiger's great.

I'll make arrangements for you to meet that lady, okay?

Oh, good.

Well, let's go.

You two tigers look pretty hungry to me.

Come on, Tiger.

Simon, at the IADC is checking on a few leads

to find out where she came from.

Well,okay , fine.

Okay?

Can I give you a lift?

No, I've got a cab waiting, thanks.

Oh. Well, okay. Keep in touch.

Yeah.

IRA: Bleaker, a man rumored to have two or more doctorates

in every major field of science.

He allegedly possesses an IQ so high,

he talks only to himself.

Oh, now, wait a minute, IRA.

Are you saying this man Bleaker really does exist?

The IRAC computer is not prepared

to debate the question of his existence.

Rather, I have simply compiled

all that has ever been attributed

to a man named Bleaker, as requested by Steve Trevor.

Okay, okay.

Forgive my outburst.

You are only human.

Yeah.

All right, assuming Bleaker really does exist,

do you have any indication of his whereabouts?

He is rumored to have been responsible for

the sabotage of oil tankers off the California coast

by means of a submarine.

Submarine.

Then his headquarters could be on or near a coast somewhere.

A commendable deduction.

Thanks.

I'll get the word to Diana.

( whining )

Hey, good morning, Tina.

Hi.

Hey, what's happening here?

How does little Tiger like his eggs?

He likes the bacon better.

( laughs )

I figured that. I figured that.

Let me give him some bacon.

Here you are, baby... ooh.

Well, Tina, when are you going to tell me who you really are?

I don't know.

Okay... okay.

Can I tell you something?

You know that you and I have a secret?

Did you know that?

Mm-hmm.

You, you don't want anybody to know who you are,

where you came from, or why you ran away.

And me, I, uh...

I don't want anybody to know just how much a, uh...

a certain gutsy 12-year-old little blonde

has come to mean to a...a certain bachelor like me.

( chuckles )

Yeah...

The closest I ever let people come to me

was smack out of a headline.

It was safer that way.

Oh, I got hurt once.

Well, maybe twice.

But you...

you just came smack out of the headlines

and landed right here in my life.

So, what I'm trying to say is

that if anybody ever hurt you

where you came from,

and, uh...

you don't ever want to go back,

you, you don't have to.

But I want to go home.

Oh...you do.

I mean, I...

Well, uh...

whenever you decide that you're ready,

you let me know.

I'll get you home.

Um...I'll see you tonight.

( Tiger whimpering )

( birds singing )

Well, it's all clear. Let's go.

Hold it. Regular laundry delivery isn't till 11:00.

Now, we don't move till then.

All right, if you say so.

Hey, come on, relax.

Let's get our money's worth out of the truck, right, huh?

( chuckles )

Come on, Tiger, come on.

Come on, Tiger!

Come on. Yeah.

Yeah.

Good boy.

( barks )

Go get it!

Hi, Tina.

Wonder Woman!

( barks )

Look at this.

That's Tiger. He acts like he knows you.

( chuckles )

Come on, want to catch this ball?

( sighs )

Now, what's your name?

Your real name.

The one given to you in Ilandia.

Diana said you knew where I was from.

That's right, I do.

I want to go home.

Please, take me home.

( sighs )

I can't.

Yes, you can.

It's where the sun sets, across the ocean.

I know it is.

Ilandia is in a world within this world.

( sighs )

It's in another dimension.

Now, there is just one doorway

to that world

but I don't know where it is.

I'll never go home?

Oh...yes, you will.

Because I'm going to find the man who kidnapped you

and make him take you back.

As I remember from the books I've read, where I come from,

only very, very special young people are given bracelets

and a necklace like this, right?

One in every 5,000.

I'm supposed to protect people

like the policemen here.

That man kidnapped me when I was learning how to use them.

Well... how about if we see

just how much you have learned?

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Wow!

( barks )

Now that was terrific. Let's try another.

Not bad.

( barks )

Not bad.

( barks )

( barks )

That was very good.

Now... try this.

Oh! Oh!

TINA: I know, I know. Someday.

Someday.

Aw.

Oh, no.

Someday.

Someday.

( laughs )

Watch this.

TINA: That's going to land on the Moon.

( barks )

There's one more thing you should be able to do.

What's that?

Well, if you hold your hands... like this...

and you concentrate hard enough

on making a shield around your body

you can make anything-- bullets, knives, arrows--

bounce off you without hitting.

But only if you concentrate.

Are you ready?

Again, throw it harder!

Okay, but concentrate.

( whimpering )

It can't hurt me!

That's right.

Only as long as you concentrate.

The man who kidnapped me can't hurt me.

Well, I don't know about that.

If he tries to take me again, I'll let him.

( sharply ): No!

Then I'll make him take me home.

Promise me you will do no such thing, Tina.

You're not strong enough yet.

Tina!

My real name is Emodonna.

That's beautiful.

Emodonna.

Now, you just let me worry about getting you home, okay?

Pretty soon, the people in Ilandia

won't care about me anymore.

Aw...

( laughs gently )

They'll always care about you.

The people in your world are no different from here.

Once they love someone, they go right on loving.

And they'll wait for that someone to come back to them.

Oh...

PENROSE: Tina.

Guess I'd better go now.

Thanks, Wonder Woman.

Trust me, Emodonna.

( exhales deeply )

( Tiger barking )

Tiger!

( stops barking )

( whimpering )

( whimpering )

Tiger, you take care of her.

And if she's in trouble, you come and find me.

Understand?

( resumes barking )

Just a minute, little girl.

Now, don't you try anything. None of that funny stuff now.

( barking )

Quiet, Tiger. Sit.

( quiets down )

Now you're being a smart little girl.

Come on, sweetheart. Let's go.

( snarling, growling )

( whimpering )

( barking )

Take a long look, sweetheart.

You got away from me once before,

but I guarantee it won't happen again.

( whining )

( sniffing )

( whines, barks )

( barking )

Tiger.

( whining )

They've taken Tina.

( whining )

Can you lead me to her?

( barking )

Okay, now, hold on. I'll change.

I'll change first. Hang on.

There, there, my lovely.

We knew it was just a matter of time, didn't we?

Now we'll take immediate steps to see

that she never keeps us waiting again.

Take me home.

She looks none the worse

despite her little escapade.

Necklace, bracelets intact.

As unremovable as ever.

You're going to take me home!

We were too gentle with her before.

Too frightened of diminishing

those psychic energies which the necklace and bracelets

transform into physical energy.

Too gentle. Too timid.

Too patient!

Never again.

Listen to me!

You're going to take me back to Ilandia.

I can make you.

We'll use the globe again,

but this time we'll be more thorough.

We'll get rid of any and all thoughts

she ever had of going home.

Coast.

So it is Bleaker.

( whining )

( barking )

( barking )

I want you to call the police, and get them here

as soon as possible.

Good boy. Now you stay.

( whimpers )

No, I won't let you.

Settle down.

( electronic warbling )

She knows.

She knows that what she can do is just a matter of thinking.

You're going to take me home.

Thinking and concentration.

What she doesn't know is that concentration can be broken.

( high-pitched screeching )

( screeching stops )

Dr. Bleaker.

I always wondered when I'd have

the displeasure of meeting you.

She knows who we are.

Oh, I've heard of you.

But you should have stuck to sabotaging oil tankers.

Kidnapping little children isn't good for anyone's image.

She doesn't appreciate the fact

that with such a child properly trained,

we shall be untouchable.

However, you did find the doorway to her world.

Wherever it is, you are going to take her back.

She knows of dimension travel?

Of course.

A mythological creature come true herself,

she can embrace all possibilities.

Now, Bleaker. Take her back to Ilandia.

Can it be that we have a worthy adversary?

Perhaps you'd like another demonstration

of my worthiness, Dr. Bleaker?

She presents an obstacle that must be destroyed.

Tina!

Bleaker!

It's poison.

It's poison!

( coughs )

Now!

Tiger!

You stay here.

( coughing )

He's tricked us!

Oh, no!

Tina.

Get away.

Tina.

He can't leave me here.

I can't stop him.

But I want to go home!

Please make him take me home.

You'll go home some day.

I promise you.

But until then you've got to stop being so scared.

I'm not scared.

Yes, you are.

You're scared that all the things you love

and that you miss in Ilandia-- your friends, your parents,

the people that you love, the people that love you--

you're scared you're going to find

all those things right here.

You're scared that when someday comes,

you won't know whether you really want to go back.

It might hurt a lot when that day comes.

But you have to take the chance.

And right now you have no choice.

In Ilandia, I had a dolphin.

We played tag in the ocean all the time.

( whining )

( siren wailing )

Her life is going to be complicated enough

without the whole world knowing

who she is and where she came from.

Your memories are about to become a little faulty.

Are you all right, Tina?

I want to go home.

With you.

Really?

Are you sure?

Yes.

Wow.

Oh, you don't know how happy that makes me.

I guess I'm going to let

a 12-year-old little girl break my heart.

I'll take chances if you will.

Oh, I heard that line before.

I guess I have to thank you for what you've done.

Tina is quite a special little girl.

Oh, she sure is.

She's one human interest story

that I'm going to have to live with for the rest of my life--

if I'm lucky.
