( crowd buzzing )

Man: 15, 24...

HUT, HUT!

( crowd cheering )

( grunting )

( whistle blows )

P.A. announcer: Gain of 11 yards. First down.

( phone rings )

EVE?

( rings again )

COLONEL TREVOR'S OFFICE. Diana?

STEVE! I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOU, TOO.

OH, WELL, I, I JUST GOT BACK. WHERE ARE YOU?

AT A FOOTBALL GAME.

( sighs ) I GET IN FROM

A TWO-HOUR MEETING WITH SECRET SECURITY AND YOU'RE AT A FOOTBALL GAME.

( laughs ) NOW, TAKE IT EASY. I'M ON BUSINESS.

IN FACT, I WANT YOU TO WATCH IT. IT'S BEING TELEVISED ON CHANNEL FIVE.

I'LL EXPLAIN LATER, OKAY?

YEAH, RIGHT, I'LL BE WAITING.

BUSINESS.

THIS I'VE GOT TO SEE.

TV announcer: He's fading back. He's going to pass.

Looking for a receiver...

( grunting )

( crowd cheering )

( whistle blows )

P.A. announcer: Complete down to the 35 yard line.

ANOTHER GAIN LIKE THAT THEY'LL BE IN FIELD GOAL RANGE.

THINK THEY'LL SETTLE FOR A FIELD GOAL?

NO, THEY'LL PROBABLY PASS FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

AND IF THEY DON'T MAKE IT THEY'LL STILL HAVE TIME FOR THE FIELD GOAL.

( fans whooping )

HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY OF THE PROBLEMS

YOU TOLD ME TO LOOK OUT FOR?

NO. BUT REMEMBER

THE KNIGHTS ARE THREE POINTS DOWN.

THEY CAME INTO THIS GAME A 16-POINT FAVORITE.

IT'S ALREADY AN UPSET.

Fans ( chanting ): GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO...

GO!

GO! GO!

GO, GO, GO!

SET... 21, 28, 30.

( whistle blows )

...carries for a gain of six yards on the play.

Third down and one yard to go.

THEY GOT A YARD TO GO FOR A FIRST DOWN.

EVERYBODY FIGURES IT'S A SHORT YARDAGE PLAY

BUT I BET THEY PASS. HE'LL CALL IN HIS WIDE RECEIVER.

WIN, WIN, SCORE...

HEY, GLEN.

THERE HE IS NOW, NUMBER 83.

HE'S TALKING TO THE COACH.

THEY CALL HIM "GLUE FINGERS."

( chuckles )

( crowd cheering )

( horn sounds "Charge" )

( crowd noise building )

Quarterback: DOWN... HUT, HUT, HUT.

Defender: PASS, PASS, PASS!

( thud )

( whistle blows )

The pass in the end zone is incomplete.

SEE? HE COULD'VE CAUGHT THAT BALL WITH HIS EYES SHUT.

I THINK MAYBE HE DID HAVE HIS EYES SHUT.

( crowd cheering )

Coach: COME ON, MAN, LET'S GO.

NOW, REMEMBER, STEVE THIS PLACE-KICKER HAS A 98% SUCCESS RATIO

INSIDE THE 25-YARD LINE.

AND THEY'RE ON THE 22.

BUT IF YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON... HE'LL MISS.

TWENTY-FOUR...

HUT, HUT, HUT!

( grunting )

( whistle blows )

The field goal attempt was missed by Kamenga.

( gunfire off )

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

Man: NOTHING!

( thunderclap )

* WONDER WOMAN *

* WONDER WOMAN *

* WONDER WOMAN *

* WONDER WOMAN *

*WONDER WOMAN **

Diana: BILL, WHEN DID YOU FIRST BEGIN TO SUSPECT

THAT THESE GAMES WERE BEING FIXED?

ABOUT FIVE OR SIX WEEKS AGO.

EVERY WEEKEND SINCE, THE TEAM THAT'S BEEN FAVORED TO WIN

HAS LOST, AND ALWAYS FOR THE SAME REASON.

WELL, THAT SEEMS TO BE A BIT MUCH TO CHALK UP TO COINCIDENCE.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID ONLY I COULDN'T GET ANYONE

AT THE PHYSICAL FITNESS COUNCIL TO LISTEN TO ME.

FINALLY, I MADE SUCH A NUISANCE OF MYSELF THEY PASSED ME OFF TO YOU PEOPLE.

WELL, AS OF NOW

I AM PASSING YOU OFF...

TO DIANA.

FOR WHICH, NEEDLESS TO SAY

I SHALL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

WELL, I WOULDN'T SPEAK TOO SOON, BILL.

ANYWAY, IF THIS THING CONTINUES

IT COULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT NATIONAL MORALE.

WELL, AS YOU KNOW FOOTBALL IS THE CLOSEST THING TO RELIGION

FOR A LOTTA PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

AND IF ORGANIZED GAMBLING INTERESTS

HAVE FOUND A WAY TO CONTROL WHO WINS AND LOSES...

THAT'S WHO YOU THINK IS BEHIND ALL THIS? BIG-TIME GAMBLING?

SOMEBODY'S CLEANING UP EVERY TIME A FAVORED TEAM GETS CREAMED.

( music playing on jukebox )

OH, IT'S YOU AGAIN.

HOW MUCH YOU INTO ME FOR THIS TIME?

WELL, I, UH, BELIEVE I WAGERED $1,000

ON THE UNDERDOG AT FIVE-TO-ONE ODDS.

YEAH, YEAH.

YOU GOT FIVE BIG ONES COMING.

( drawer clanks )

HERE'S YOUR BET.

THERE'S ONE...

TWO, THREE...

FOUR...

FIVE-A-RENO.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I DO HOPE I HAVEN'T DEPLETED YOUR RESOURCES.

( chuckles )

TELL THAT TO ALL THEM POOR BOOBIES

WHO KEEP BETTING THE FAVORITES.

I'LL TELL YOU, THOUGH...

THE BOYS UPSTAIRS, THE REALLY BIG ONES

LAYING THE ODDS AND KEEPING THE BOOKS

THEY'RE GOING TO FIGURE WHOEVER KEEPS WINNING

OFF WHAT OUGHT TO BE THE LOSERS KNOWS SOMETHING THEY DON'T.

OH. LET'S JUST SAY THAT I HAVE A SYSTEM.

HOW COME FOR SIX WEEKS NOW YOU'VE NEVER LAID A REAL BET ON ME?

I MEAN, WITH THE STREAK YOU'RE RIDING FIVE THOU IS PEANUTS.

BUT 5,000 WAS ALL I NEEDED THIS WEEK.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU NEXT MONDAY.

YEAH, YEAH.

SAME TIME, SAME WAGER.

HEY!

YOU'RE WEIRD, YOU KNOW THAT?

I MEAN REALLY WEIRD.

( giggles )

WHEW.

HEY, ANGIE, YOU SEE THIS?

FIRE BOMBINGS AT TWO

OF TERWILLIGER'S WAREHOUSES LAST NIGHT.

I THOUGHT WE WERE LAYING OFF TERWILLIGER?

LAST I HEARD, HE WAS COMING AROUND TO OUR POINT OF VIEW.

THE UGLY TRUTH IS, HE WAS.

IT WASN'T US PLAYING WITH THE MATCHES LAST NIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

THEN WHO'S PUTTING THE HEAT ON TERWILLIGER?

TEN TO ONE IT WAS O'HANLON. WE GOTTA STOP THAT PUNK FROM PHILLY.

Man 2: HEY, ARE WE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

I MEAN, HE'S BEEN POKING AROUND OUR BOOKIES

AND NOW HE'S TRYING TO MUZZLE IN ON THE RETAIL OPERATION.

YOU KNOW...

MAYBE A PHONE CALL IS IN ORDER.

GET MR. LAWRENCE.

( doorbell rings )

AH, THERE HE IS MY FAVORITE COLLEGE GRADUATE.

MR. BEAMER, WHAT A SURPRISE.

YEAH. KIND OF LIKE THE ONE I JUST GOT

WHEN SOMETHING WAS CALLED TO MY ATTENTION

SOMETHING HIGHLY UNUSUAL

SOMETHING I DIDN'T LIKE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

SOMEBODY'S BEEN BETTING ON LONG SHOTS.

SOMEBODY'S BEEN WINNING ON LONG SHOTS, CONSISTENTLY.

SOMEBODY IN YOUR TERRITORY MR. CAPPUCCI.

IF THE ORGANIZATION WERE GETTING HURT I'D CHECK INTO IT.

WELL, OF COURSE WE'RE NOT GETTING HURT.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT, MR. CAPPUCCI.

YOU, WITH YOUR FANCY COLLEGE DEGREE MISSED THE POINT.

YOU THINK SOMEBODY'S FIXING THE GAMES?

I THINK THERE'S GOT TO BE A REASON

WHY THE BEST JOCKS IN THE COUNTRY

DO EVERYTHING BUT HAND A BALL TO THE OTHER TEAM

WHEN THE ODDS ARE HEAVILY IN THEIR FAVOR.

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I THINK?

THAT O'HANLON'S RESPONSIBLE.

I THINK A RIVAL ORGANIZATION IS FIXING THE GAMES

LAYING MONEY WITH OUR BOOKIES AND CLEANING UP.

AND I THINK I DON'T LIKE THAT.

THERE'S NOTHING WE COULD DO ABOUT THA...

THE POINT, MR. CAPPUCCI--

YOU WERE ABOUT TO MISS IT AGAIN--

O'HANLON'S GOT A SECRET.

AND THE ONLY SECRETS I LIKE ARE THE ONES I GOT.

ANY OTHERS ARE UNHEALTHY.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS MR. CAPPUCCI, UNHEALTHY?

I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.

GOOD.

IT'D BE A REAL SHAME FOR ALL THAT EDUCATION

TO GO TO WASTE.

GO GET LOUIS AND BRING HIM HERE FAST.

IRA, DIANA NEEDS THE NAME OF A BOOKIE

SOMEONE WHO MIGHT KNOW OF ANYBODY WHO'S BEEN BETTING CONSISTENTLY

AGAINST THE FAVORED TEAMS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

The term "bookie" is imprecise.

HMM? OH.

UH... OKAY, UH...

BOOKMAKER-- WE NEED THE NAME OF A BOOKMAKER.

Of what significance

is a binder of books for publication

to gamblers?

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

ODDS-MAKER. HOW'S THAT?

Why didn't you say so?

YEAH, I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE HERE ALL DAY.

No such luck.

The name of an individual known as Lou "the Lithuanian"

has relevance to your request.

WHERE CAN I FIND HIM?

On most Saturday afternoons

he can be found at the Sip and Bite Deli.

He is partial to their egg creams.

VERY GOOD.I'LL HAVE DIANA BRING YOU BACK A PASTRAMI ON RYE.

Make it corned beef, hold the mayo.

Ha... ha... ha... ha.

OKAY, LOUIS, LET'S GO.

COME ON, LOUIS, LET'S MOVE IT.

WHAT? DON'T

HEY, WAIT.

HELP ME!

SOMEBODY HELP ME!

YOU WAIT HERE.

( dishes clanking )

( thunderclap )

WHAT? HEY!

HEY, YOU GUYS LET HIM GO!

( fires twice )

( clanking )

( tires squealing )

( groans ) WHAT HAPPENED?

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

YEAH, THOSE GUYS...

DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!

I'M AFRAID THEY ALREADY HAVE.

WISH WONDER WOMAN HAD STAYED AROUND A WHILE.

WHY IS THAT?

I WANTED TO THANK HER FOR HELPING ME OUT.

OH, WELL, I'M SURE THAT SHE KNOWS THAT YOU'RE GRATEFUL.

HOW'S YOUR HEAD?

AH, NOT MUCH BETTER.

YOU KNOW, SEEING DOUBLE ISN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL.

YOU MAKE A PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING SET OF TWINS.

( groans )

WELL, WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

BLEW THE ONLY LEAD WE HAD.

WELL, I WAS THINKING OF TALKING

TO SOME OF THOSE, UH, BALLPLAYERS

WHO'VE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPSET IN THOSE GAMES.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

WE CAN DO THAT TONIGHT.

WHAT'S TONIGHT?

THE OLD TIMERS' CLUB IS GIVING

AN AWARDS BANQUET RIGHT HERE IN WASHINGTON.

ALL THE TOP COLLEGE PLAYERS WILL BE THERE-- AS WILL WE.

WE WILL BE DOING NO SUCH THING

BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HAVE A MILD CONCUSSION.

I'LL GO ALONE.

AW, I HATE SENDING YOU OFF ALL BY YOURSELF.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE JOCKS CAN BE REAL LADY-KILLERS.

WELL, DON'T WORRY, BILL.

IF ANY OF THEM GET OUTTA LINE I'LL

PENALIZE THEM 15 YARDS.

OH, HIYA, HARRY.

LOUIS HERE.

UH, LOOK, I GOT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.

ANGIE, WHAT DO YOU THINK? YOU KNOW ANYBODY BEEN PLACING BETS

SHOULD WE LEAN ON HIM A LITTLE?

NAH. HE'S SCARED WITLESS.

WE START LEANING ON HIM, HE MIGHT SELF-DESTRUCT.

OH. WELL, UH,

IF, IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING LEAVE ME KNOW, HUH?

OKAY. THANKS, BUDDY. THANKS.

LOOKS LIKE I AIN'T DOING SO HOT.

I MEAN, I CALLED ABOUT EVERYBODY I COULD THINK OF.

THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO TRY SOME MORE WON'T YOU, LOUIS?

BECAUSE IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE ORGANIZATION TO FIND OUT WHO THIS GUY IS.

AND WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE ORGANIZATION

IS GOOD FOR YOU.

ON THE OTHER HAND...

OOH, OOH! I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMEBODY ELSE!

OH, FINE, LOUIS, FINE.

WHY DON'T YOU PHONE THAT SOMEBODY ELSE?

( phone rings )

( rings again )

YEAH?

HEY. HOW ARE YOU, LOUIS?

WHAT CAN I DO YOU OUT OF?

YEAH, IT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT.

I GOT A GUY WHO'S BEEN DOING JUST THAT.

BETTING THE UNDERDOGS THE PAST FIVE, SIX WEEKS NOW.

NOTHING BIG, BUT CONSISTENT, YOU KNOW?

WELL, WELL, LISTEN, WHO IS THIS GUY?

I MEAN, WHERE COULD SOMEBODY, LIKE, LAY HANDS ON HIM?

( mice squeaking )

( knocking persists )

PROFESSOR BRUBAKER, I PRESUME?

YES, I'M BRUBAKER, WHOEVER YOU ARE.

I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY IMPORTANT EXPER...

HEY, YOU JUST CAN'T COME WALKING IN HERE LIKE THIS.

YOU LEAVE RIGHT THIS MINUTE OR ELSE I'LL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DRASTIC... OH!

YOU SHOULDN'T TALK LIKE THAT TO MR. CAPPUCCI.

THANK YOU, SAM.

WHA... WH-WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?

WHAT I WANT, PROFESSOR, PUTTING IT BLUNTLY

IS IN ON YOUR LITTLE SCAM.

MY LITTLE SCAM?

NOW, YOU SEE, PROFESSOR

SINCE YOUR NAME CAME UP IN SOME RESEARCH I WAS DOING A FEW HOURS AGO...

I, UH, HAD YOU CHECKED OUT RATHER THOROUGHLY.

YOU WORK IN A HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL FIELD OF ENDEAVOR--

SO CONTROVERSIAL, IN FACT

THAT YOU'RE UNABLE TO SECURE GRANTS

TO FINANCE YOUR... EXPERIMENTS.

BECAUSE THEY'RE A BUNCH OF NARROW-MINDED PEA-BRAINS.

OH, BUT YOU CAN'T REALLY BLAME THEM, CAN YOU?

I MEAN, REMOTE CONTROL OF KINETIC FUNCTION

IS RATHER OBSCURE, WOULDN'T YOU SAY, PROFESSOR?

( laughing )

AS IF A MOBSTER LIKE YOU HAS EVEN

AN INKLING OF WHAT KINETIC FUNCTION IS.

I HAVE AN INKLING THAT YOU CAN MAKE FOOTBALL PLAYERS DROP PASSES

MISS FIELD GOALS, AND GENERALLY MESS UP

WHEN YOU'RE CONTROLLING THEM.

AND I ALSO HAVE AN INKLING THAT YOU'RE DOING SO AT THE BEHEST

OF SOME OTHER ORGANIZATION.

ORGANIZATION?

I DO IT FOR MYSELF.

YOU'VE HAD NO DEALINGS WITH A MR. O'HANLON?

I JUST DO IT TO GET MONEY FOR MY RESEARCH.

AS YOU SAID, I CANNOT GET A GRANT.

ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?

WELL, PROFESSOR, YOUR WORRIES ARE OVER!

FROM NOW ON, YOU'LL GET ALL THE MONEY YOU NEED.

UH, NO. THANKS, BUT, UH

I, I'VE BEEN DOING JUST FINE.

DON'T FOOL YOURSELF INTO THINKING YOU HAVE A CHOICE, PROFESSOR--

BECAUSE YOU DON'T.

I WANT A DEMONSTRATION.

I WANT TO SEE YOU MAKE PEOPLE'S MUSCLES DO WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO.

WELL, I, I WAS DOING AN EXPERIMENT

HERE WITH REX...

NO, NO. NOT REX.

NOT RATS.

PEOPLE.

ATHLETES.

I HOPE YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY PLANS FOR TONIGHT, PROFESSOR.

( drilling faintly audible )

OH, PERFECT.

YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE ROOM.

COME ON, DIANA. I'M TELLING YOU WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER.

FLY BACK TO THE COAST WITH ME AFTER DINNER.

WELL, I WOULD, EXCEPT THAT, UM

I'VE TO TALK TO THE COLLEGE PLAYERS HERE.

YEAH, AND I THOUGHT QUARTERBACKS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO THROW PASSES.

YOU'VE BEEN MAKING PASSES AT THIS POOR KID SINCE SHE WALKED IN.

WHAT ARE YOU, HER HOUSEMOTHER?

THEY'RE ALL SO UNCOUTH.

LET ME TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS.

SORRY, BUT I'M ON BUSINESS.

ISN'T THAT, UH...

ONE OF THE QUARTERBACKS

FROM THE OHIO CHESTNUTS OVER THERE?

HIM, YEAH, THAT'S TEDDY DAVIS.

BUT I WOULDN'T GO ASK HIM ABOUT LAST WEEK'S GAME.

NOT AFTER HE THREW FIVE INTERCEPTIONS

THREE OF WHICH GOT RUN BACK FOR T.D.s.

BESIDES, YOUR SALAD IS HERE.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW? SAVED BY THE SALAD.

OKAY, SAM, YOU AND NICK GET BUSY.

Only remember, do it discreetly.

AND THEN POOR DAVIS JUST SEEMED TO FALL APART.

HE EVEN THREW ONE PASS CLEAR INTO THE STANDS.

(coughs )

DARN MOSQUITOES.

( coughs )

THINK THEY'D BE ABLE TO KEEP BUGS

OUT OF A FANCY PLACE LIKE THIS.

THE DARTS ARE ABSORBED IN THE BODY WITHIN 20 MINUTES.

BUT BEFORE THEY DISSOLVE THEY ACT AS RECEIVERS FOR THE SIGNALS I SEND OUT ON THIS.

AND THE SIGNALS TRANSMIT SCRAMBLED MESSAGES

TO THE BRAIN, WHICH FOUL UP MUSCLE CONTROL?

YES. I CAN EVEN TRANSMIT TO A HIGHER BRAIN CENTER

THE ONE THAT CONTROLS EMOTIONS.

( continuing to cough )

( chatting )

( beeps )

WHAT, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE FIRST?

Cappucci: ROMAN GABRIEL.

GET A CRAMP IN HIS LEFT FOOT.

( giggling )

( beeping )

OH... OOH.

LAURENCE McCUTCHEON-- CAN YOU GET HIM TO SPILL HIS WINE

AND START AN ARGUMENT WITH THE WAITER?

( clatter )

HEY, DUMMY, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!

SAM, YOU AND NICK START SPREADING THOSE DARTS AROUND FAST.

( feigned coughing )

GET THEM ALL ON THEIR FEET, CONFUSION.

That's what we want, a whole lot of confusion.

( woman screaming )

( both laughing )

( yelling, clattering )

( men grunting )

( yelling )

THAT'S ONE PARTY CRASHER WE CAN DO WITHOUT.

( groans )

WHY? WHY DID I DO THAT?

AND WHY AREN'T YOU QUEEN?

OKAY... GET READY TO PULL OUT.

( yells )

( chuckling )

( yells )

( grunting )

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO MAD IN MY LIFE.

I NEVER HIT A WOMAN BEFORE BUT THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

( grunting )

I'M GOING TO GET ALL OF YOU! NOW HOLD IT!

YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HURT YOURSELVES.

( drops bottle )

( catching breath )

Cappucci: HER NAME'S DIANA PRINCE.

SHE'S A GOVERNMENT AGENT.

SHE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS AT THAT DINNER LAST NIGHT.

YEAH. SHE THREATENS TO BECOME A THORN IN OUR SIDE

BECAUSE OF THIS MAN, WHO'S CURRENTLY WORKING WITH HER.

HIS NAME IS BILL MICHAELS.

HE'S CURRENTLY ON LEAVE FROM THE PHYSICAL FITNESS COUNCIL.

APPARENTLY, HE'S AS CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE FOOTBALL UPSETS

AS WE WERE.

SO NOW WE HAVE BOTH OF THEM IN OUR HAIR.

NEED I SAY MORE?

( doorbell rings )

I HEAR YOU.

COMING!

( ringing persistently )

( coughing )

YEAH? I'M SORRY, SIR.

PACKAGE FOR MISS ABERGAS.

MISS WHO? ABERGAS.

NATALIE ROSE ABERGAS. WANT TO SIGN HERE?

I NEVER HEARD OF THE LADY. YOU HAVE THE WRONG APARTMENT.

I'M SORRY, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I MAY BE ABLE TO FIND HER?

WELL,YOU SEE, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S IN THIS APARTMENT BUILDING OR NOT.

WHY DON'T YOU TRY THE MANAGER, FIRST FLOOR?

I'LL DO THAT.

RIGHT.

OH.

I JUST SAW OUR GIRL HEADING FOR BILL MICHAELS'S PLACE

AND MICHAELS JUST TOOK ONE IN THE NECK.

ALRIGHT, NICK, YOU DID FINE.

UH... GIVE THEM A FEW MINUTES.

I WANT HER COMPLETELY OFF-GUARD

WHEN WE PULL MICHAELS'S CHAIN.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO TRANSMIT?

WHAT ELSE?

INSANE, MURDEROUS RAGE.

HE, HE COULD REALLY KILL HER, YOU KNOW?

OH. SQUEAMISH?

JUST SHOW ME WHAT BUTTONS TO PUSH.

BILL, WHAT'D THE DOCTOR SAY ABOUT YOUR HEAD?

HE SAYS IT IS STILL CONNECTED BUT I DID TAKE A PRETTY GOOD LICK.

WELL, THAT'S NOT ANYTHING, THOUGH.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN SOME OF THE THINGS

THAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS PLAYING BASKETBALL FOR A LIVING.

NO OFFENSE, BUT I'M GLAD I DIDN'T.

SAY, I UNDERSTAND THINGS WENT PRETTY WILD LAST NIGHT.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

WILD ISN'T THE WORD.

ALL OF A SUDDEN EIGHT OR TEN OF THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS

JUST WENT BERSERK. I MEAN, IT WAS THE CRAZIEST--

OKAY, BILL, KNOCK IT OFF.

BILL!

HEY, BILL.

( grunts )

( grunts )

( grunts )

( grunts )

BILL?

WHAT HIT THIS PLACE?

YOU DID.

IT'S REALLY NOT YOUR FAULT, BILL.

UM, SEE, I THINK THAT THIS IS WHAT MADE YOU DO IT.

COME HERE, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

USE THIS, IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET A CLOSE LOOK AT IT.

WHAT THE HECK IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW. IT WAS EMBEDDED IN THE SKIN ON YOUR NECK.

IT RAISED A SLIGHT WELT.

I GUESS I'M JUST ALLERGIC TO CIRCUITRY.

LOOK AT THAT, DIANA.

SEE WHAT IT'S DOING?

Michaels: IT SELF-DESTRUCTED.

THAT'S TOO BAD.

I'D HAVE LIKED A CHANCE TO REALLY STUDY IT.

WELL, AT LEAST NOW WE'VE GOT AN IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.

WE DO?

WELL, IF WE DON'T, I KNOW A CERTAIN COMPUTER THAT WILL.

THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED, MR. BEAMER.

THE KNIGHTS ARE A 35-POINT FAVORITE.

THE ODDS ARE TEN TO ONE IN THEIR FAVOR.

AND YOU THINK ONE MILLION WILL DO THE TRICK?

IT'S A SMALL AMOUNT THAT IF WE SPREAD IT TO ALL O'HANLON'S BOOKIES

IT WON'T UPSET THE ODDS.

IT WILL GROSS US A TIDY TEN MILLION WHEN THE DUSTERS WIN.

ONLY $1 MILLION WILL DO THE TRICK.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO TO O'HANLON

WHAT YOU THOUGHT HE WAS DOING TO US.

$1 MILLION OF ORGANIZATION MONEY.

IT'S A SURE BET, MR. BEAMER.

BRUBAKER CAME UP WITH IMPLANTS THAT LAST TWO HOURS

INSTEAD OF JUST 20 MINUTES.

I MEAN, WE JUST CAN'T FAIL.

I'M GOING TO TRUST YOU, MR. CAPPUCCI.

YOU KNOW WHY?

NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR IMPRESSIVE EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

or your youthful eagerness

but because I'm going to entrust you with $1 million.

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW

THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THOSE FUNDS

YOU'LL BE ONE SORRY MAN.

LISTEN, THERE'S NO PROBLEM, MR. BEAMER.

LOOK, I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

Sam: DID HE PROMISE YOU A PROMOTION

AFTER WE DO A JOB ON O'HANLON'S BOOKIE?

OH, YEAH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WHERE'S BRUBAKER?

IN THE KITCHEN, I'LL GET HIM.

HE'S PROBABLY FIXING HIMSELF A BICARB.

HE'S BEEN LOOKING A LITTLE GREEN

EVER SINCE WE COME BACK FROM BILL MICHAELS'S PLACE.

Cappucci: YEAH, THE PROFESSOR HAS LED A SHELTERED LIFE, HASN'T HE?

THE PROFESSOR'S NOT IN HIS ROOM AND THE DOOR'S OPEN.

I THINK HE SPLIT.

WHAT?

LOOK, DON'T WORRY, ANGIE.

WE'LL FIND HIM AND BRING HIM BACK.

HOLD ON, JUST HOLD ON.

IT HAS JUST OCCURRED TO ME

I CAN OPERATE THE PROFESSOR'S DEVICE

JUST AS WELL AS HE.

AND PERHAPS HE'S OUTLIVED HIS USEFULNESS TO US ANYWAY.

BUT HE KNOWS TOO MUCH.

WE'LL PUT A CONTRACT OUT

ON HIM IN DUE TIME.

I'M SURE HE'S TOO FRIGHTENED NOW

TO DO ANYTHING BUT RUN.

( all chuckle )

Michaels: WELL, WELL.

LOOKS LIKE PROFESSOR BRUBAKER

IS READY TO HEAD FOR THE HILLS.

IT'S AS IF HE KNOWS

HIS NAME CAME OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER.

LOOK, BILL, WHY DON'T YOU

GO IN THROUGH THE BUILDING

AND SEE IF YOU CAN'T TALK HIM INTO COMING WITH US PEACEFULLY?

RIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

WELL, I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD STAY HERE

IN CASE HE COMES THROUGH ONE OF THESE WINDOWS.

UH-UH, SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TAKING

THE HEAVY PART OF THE JOB.

BELIEVE ME, BILL, I WON'T GET HURT.

YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW

THAT I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

RIGHT.

RIGHT.

( thunderclap )

PLEASE... PLEASE!

I'LL GIVE THE MONEY BACK.

I JUST NEEDED NEW EQUIPMENT FOR MY EXPERIMENTS.

SO YOU USED YOUR INVENTION

TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF FOOTBALL GAMES

AND YOU BET AGAINST THE TEAMS YOU TAMPERED WITH?

ALRIGHT, I ADMIT IT.

YOU ALSO USED ONE OF THOSE DARTS ON BILL MICHAELS

ALMOST KILLED DIANA PRINCE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT.

MR. CAPPUCCI MADE ME DO IT.

HE'S TAKEN OVER MY INVENTION.

BUT I DIDN'T WANT ANY PART OF MURDER.

THAT'S WHY I RAN AWAY FROM HIM.

ANGELO CAPPUCCI?

THE MOBSTER, YES.

HE'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING REALLY BIG.

HE SAYS HE'LL WIN $10 MILLION ON ONE FOOTBALL GAME.

WHICH GAME, WHAT TEAM?

I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T HEAR. I WAS BUSY RUNNING AWAY.

( door closes )

THAT'S THEM. THEY'VE COME TO GET ME

FOR RUNNING OUT ON THEM.

NO, THAT'S BILL MICHAELS.

LISTEN, I WANT YOU TO FORGET I WAS HERE.

SURRENDER TO HIM AND DIANA PRINCE.

THEY'LL PROTECT YOU AND GIVE YOU A CHANCE

TO MAKE UP FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE

IF YOU COOPERATE.

OH, PLEASE.

PLEASE.

I'LL COOPERATE.

I WANT TO COOPERATE.

JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO.

BILL, YOU NEED SOME HELP?

NO, I'VE PRETTY MUCH GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL HERE.

WELL, UH, WHAT HAPPENED?

Steve: NOW, THIS IS THE FOOTBALL GAME CAPUCCI'LL HIT--

THE ONE BETWEEN THE COLORADO KNIGHTS

AND THE CALIFORNIA DUSTERS, RIGHT?

Affirmative. It is the only upcoming game

in which the organization could win the amount of money

Brubaker specified.

BUT THE KNIGHTS ARE 35-POINT FAVORITES IN THAT GAME.

You did indicate that Angelo Capucci has a way

of controlling the outcome of the game, did you not?

WELL, YEAH, BUT I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SEND BILL AND DIANA

OFF TO CALIFORNIA TO WATCH THAT GAME

WHEN THE GAME THEY REALLY SHOULD BE COVERING IS IN KANSAS.

Trust me, Steve Trevor.

AS IF I HAD ANY CHOICE.

TALK ABOUT YOUR NEEDLES IN YOUR HAYSTACKS.

WE KNOW IT'LL TAKE CAPPUCCI A WHILE

TO THROW THE GAME AND MAKE SURE IT STAYS THROWN.

THAT GIVES US ABOUT TWO HOURS TO FIND HIM.

SAY, DO YOU HAVE THOSE PICTURES?

SURE, SO DOES EVERY OTHER AGENT

THAT THE I.A.D.C. FIELD OFFICE COULD SPARE.

PRETTY SOON THERE WILL BE ABOUT 50 PAIRS OF EYES

LOOKING FOR THESE GUYS.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW FOR SURE THEY'RE GOING TO BE HERE.

THESE ARE MY COUSINS FROM AMES, NICK.

PHYLLIS AND GILDA.

WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA, GIRLS.

Both: THANK YOU, NICK.

WHY DON'T YOU GIRLS GET ON THE BUS?

NICK WILL EXPLAIN THE ASSIGNMENT TO YOU--

AND GIVE YOU THE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT WE PREPARED FOR YOU.

EVERYTHING'S MOVING RIGHT ON SCHEDULE, MR. BEAMER.

YEAH, ALL THE BETS HAVE BEEN PLACED, ALL IS IN ORDER.

YES, I AM WELL AWARE OF HOW MUCH YOU TRUST ME.

( all talking )

WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA, BOYS.

HOPE YOU FELLAS LEAVE OUR HOME TEAM

THE WAY YOU FIND IT.

( all talking )

NOT TOO MANY BROKEN BONES, OKAY?

( all talking )

( hooting and hollering )

WE SHOULD BE AT THE STADIUM IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES.

ENJOY THE RIDE.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED

DON'T FORGET TO ASK ONE OF OUR LOVELY HOSTESSES.

Man 1: WE ALREADY ASKED HER SOME QUESTIONS.

Man 2: THERE YOU GO, BUS DRIVER.

FIRST AND FIVE

AND WE GOT TO GO FOR THE, WE GOT TO GO FOR THE...

THE TRAINER ASKED US TO GIVE YOU

YOUR VITAMIN DRINKS ON THE BUS.

( jocular chatter )

PHYLLIS, COME HERE.

Man 3: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

( squeals ) ALRIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

OH, I GOT...

Man: HOT DOGS HERE.

( crowd cheering )

( whistle blows )

Announcer: He drops it!

Get the ball! Get the ball!

( whistle blows )

( crowd cheering )

Announcer: Retallick drops the kickoff.

Run in by Kramer for a touchdown.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT ANGIE'S HERE.

YEAH, BUT WHERE?

WE'VE COVERED ALMOST HALF THE STADIUM ALREADY.

WHICH MEANS WE ONLY HAVE HALF TO GO.

Quarterback: SET, 21, 28, 34, HUT, HUT, HUT!

Referee: FUMBLE!

( cheering )

( whistle blows )

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IN ALL MY YEARS OF SPORTSCASTING

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THE INCREDIBLE DEBACLE

THAT IS TAKING PLACE BEFORE MY DISBELIEVING EYES TODAY.

THIS CHERRY BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

UNBEATEN IN ITS LAST 12 GAME, AND A HEAVY FAVORITE

OVER ADMITTEDLY ONE OF THE WEAKEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAMS

IN THE NATION TODAY, IS MAKING ERROR AFTER ERROR

MISTAKE AFTER MISTAKE

IN THE MOST DISMAL DISPLAY OF ATHLETIC ASININITY

THAT THIS REPORTER HAS EVER WITNESSED.

AND THAT'S TELLING IT LIKE IT IS.

( horn sounds "Charge" )

Quarterback: 13-24-HUT-HUT!

( whistle blows )

Announcer: The tackle was made by McKeown

for a loss of three yards.

Third and 13.

DIANA, THAT'S IT.

WE'VE COVERED THE ENTIRE STADIUM.

ONLY PEOPLE WE SAW WERE OTHER I.A.D.C. AGENTS.

THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY BETTER LUCK THAN WE HAVE.

WE KNOW CAPPUCCI'S HERE.

OH, YEAH.

WHAT DID PROFESSOR BRUBAKER

SAY THE MAXIMUM RANGE

OF HIS TRANSMITTER WAS?

ABOUT A MILE, I THINK.

YEAH, A MILE.

A MILE.

( horn sounds "Charge" )

Fans: CHARGE!

MAYBE MR. CAPPUCCI JUST DOESN'T LIKE CROWDS.

WHAT?

UH... NOTHING.

I'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE, OKAY?

YEAH, SURE.

( whistle blows )

NOTHING LIKE A GOOD CLEAN FOOTBALL GAME ON AN AFTERNOON.

Announcer: The tackle was made by

Impassi and Knowdell on the line of scrimmage.

Fourth down and one yard.

( thunderclap )

Announcer: Attention, Dr. Lansbury.

Dr. Lansbury, please report to the main ticket stand.

HERE SHE COMES AGAIN.

PUSH HER!

( grunts )

Referee: FUMBLE!

( whistle blows )

( beeps remote )

Quarterback: HUT-HUT!

Referee: FUMBLE!

Announcer: Dodd fumbled on the play.

Recovered by Wasluski, first and ten.

ANGIE!

THE TRANSMITTER, DROP IT!

Announcer: Tom Carey for a gain of 15 yards on the play.

First down.

ANGIE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ONCE YOU GET UP HERE?

Announcer: Carter carries it in for a touchdown.

Trevor: THE AUTHORITIES HAVE DECIDED

NOT TO PROSECUTE YOU, PROFESSOR.

THEY THINK A JURY WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU DID.

THEN THAT'S IT? I CAN LEAVE?

YOU'RE A FREE MAN.

OH...

BUT WHAT ABOUT CAPPUCCI?

I HEARD HIS LAWYERS GOT HIM OUT ON BOND

TEN MINUTES AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED.

HE'LL TRY TO KILL ME.

HE IS SO MEAN, I KNOW HE WILL.

I THINK THAT MR. CAPPUCCI HAS ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT

ALL ON HIS OWN, PROFESSOR.

THE KNIGHTS-DUSTERS GAME IS BEING REPLAYED

THIS WEEKEND, FAIRLY AND SQUARELY.

AND DON'T FORGET, ALL BETS STILL STAND.

I DON'T THINK CAPPUCCI'S SUPERIORS

ARE ANY TOO HAPPY WITH THAT MILLION-DOLLAR INVESTMENT.

MY GUESS IS THAT ANGIE WILL SOON BE FITTED

WITH A CEMENT-LINED SWIMMING SUIT.

( chuckles )

THANK YOU.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME NOW.

GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE.

BYE.

BRILLIANT MAN.

I WONDER IF WE'VE HEARD THE LAST OF HIM.

OW!

DIANA?

OH, NOT TO WORRY.

IT'S A FOR-REAL MOSQUITO.
