[instrumental music]

[knock on door]

Ja.

- Heil, Hitler.
- Ja, heil Hitler.

[speaking in foreign language]

'Speak English,
if you don't mind'

Herr Kapitan
for secrecy's sake..

...and the off-chance that
someone might be listening

and learn the secret
of your mission.

[door closes]

So, you're excited, ja?

Hmm.

Herr Oberst,
I'm always excited

when performing for the great
and glorious Fatherland.

- Of course.
- Ahem.

[speaking in foreign language]

Oberst, they're warming up
the airship now?

We have deliberately kept
the objective of your mission

a secret from even you,
Herr Kapitan

until the last minute.

It is that sensitive.

And crucial.

[dramatic music]

[pigeons cooing]

Drangel, you will find
the complete maps

for your route
in your bomber.

But here is your goal.

The Brooklyn Navy yard.

Even our XV-12 cannot
carry enough explosives

to destroy
the entire installation.

But the Allies
do not know that.

Nor do they know
that your goal will be..

...this one, sma..

This one, small building
right here.

You mean here.
This is the only building--

The Americans are manufacturing
a new bombsight.

It's called
the Norden Bombsight.

'If they manage to incorporate'

this into the Allied bombers

they will be able
to pinpoint targets

from an altitude far beyond

the effective range
of our anti-aircraft.

Dest..

Destroy this one factory

and it will put them behind
at least a year

in their war effort.

At the same time that you're
bombing the Brooklyn Navy Yard

one of our agents in Washington
will be stealing

the only duplicate set of plans
for the bombsight

thus completely destroying
their production capability.

Of course, your timing
must be...flawless.

It will be, Herr Oberst.

I had hoped to undertake
this mission myself

but unfortunately

the fuhrer wishes me
to be right here by his side.

If you fail..

I will not, Herr Oberst.

(Herr Oberst)
'Then I will have
no other choice'

but to complete your mission
myself, successfully.

I shall not fail,
Herr Oberst.

Well, as our English friends
would say

good hunting, hmm?

And, heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler!

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

This report just came in
this morning from Berlin.

We have to stop Drangel

and that infernal airship,
whatever it is.

Well, let's see now.

Left Germany for Argentina

up over the Bermuda area
and then on to the..

The navy yard? I don't
understand his reasoning.

Nor I. No single
Nazi plane can knock out

all the ships
that we have there.

If the Nazis bomb
the continental United States

it would be a great boost
to their ego

and a terrible blow to ours.

Yes, particularly
if they've developed

some kind
of dreadful new bomb

capable of mass destruction.

Argh.

Any other information
besides this?

No, just the route timing

and the single plane
identification.

How about a squadron
to intercept them?

Uh, dogfight over Brooklyn?

No, I wouldn't wanna
chance that.

Unh-unh.

I'm gonna have
to get him before he reaches

the American mainland.

Oh, look at the time.
Will that be all, Steve?

I have a chiropodist
appointment this afternoon.

- Sure, Marcia, go ahead.
- Thanks.

- Oh, Marcia?
- Yes?

Uh, see you later tonight?

Sure thing.

Shall we get back
to the problem, major?

It's very basic,
as I see it.

If the American people ever
found out the Nazis had a plane

capable of penetrating
the US borders

it would destroy
what's left of their pride.

These days
are dark enough already.

General, we're gonna
have to get that plane

before it ever gets
near the States.

But you'd better be prepared
to evacuate the navy yard

on an hour's notice,
just in case.

Only if necessary.

There should be no publicity.

Which means it's up to me

to bring that plane down
quickly...and quietly.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[clacking]

[beeping]

[telephone ringing]

[speaking in foreign language]

Something wrong,
Herr Oberst?

I can't understand it,
Nikolas.

Drangel was not
in the air over ten hours

when the Americans
knew of his mission.

There is a leak here somewhere

very close to the source.

Cigarette?

Ja, ja. Danke.

Keep the pack.

Perhaps it was one of
the mechanics on the airstrip.

There were orders
on the plane.

Perhaps.

It could be...anyone.

[instrumental music]

I'll try and nail him
over the Bermuda area

in that so-called
devil's triangle.

Since the year 1900,
over 50 ships and 60 planes

have disappeared in that area
without explanation.

- Good thinking.
- Well, it might work.

At least the Nazis won't know
if he's been shot down

or taken by the elements.

I'm told there could be
a gravitational whirlpool

that pulls the boats down,
but no one's yet

had an explanation
for the lost planes.

It's a strange area, alright.

As a matter of fact,
there are many uncharted

islands in the Triangle.

Sort of a tropical paradise.

You can save them
for after the war, boy.

[both laughing]

Good luck, Steve.

That's what I'm gonna need.

Good luck and a good plane.

Do your best, boy.

[instrumental music]

General, I can only do my best.

[instrumental music]

[aircraft droning]

[music continues]

[gunfire]

[aircraft droning]

[aircraft droning]

[explosion]

[gunshot]

[laughing]
Come on, Rena.

Oh.

Princess.

I've never seen that before.

Neither have I.

Let's find out what it is.

[instrumental music]

What do you think it is?

I think it's called
a parachute.

But what's it doing here
on Paradise Island?

It's a man.

'He's been hurt.'

He's almost dead, Rena.

A man? Here on our island?

Just help me get him
out of this contraption.

Help me lift him.

'Be careful.'

I've never seen a man
in the flesh before.

Who of us have?

[instrumental music]

- 'It looks like a man.'
- What is it?

Where did you find him?

Run ahead to the hospital
and let them know we're coming.

[birds chirping]

(female #1)
'According to his papers,
his name is Steve Trevor'

and he is attached
to the Air Corps

Intelligence Division
of the United States.

It had to happen eventually.

But Paradise Island
is still secret, Your Majesty.

The man is unconscious.

His eyes are bandaged.

Even if he should wake up..

...he wouldn't know
where he was.

This location has always been
perfect for us.

In a 1000 years

no one has ever discovered us.

But why now?

Mother?

Oh, Your Highness, doctor.

Where did you
find the man, daughter?

On the beach, near the cave.

- Will he be alright?
- Yes, in time.

But will we be alright?

(Princess)
'We, mother?'

The instant he returns
to civilization

the world will know about us.

'And our island.'

Then where will we be?

But surely some men
can be trusted.

You're too young
to remember

how we women
were slaves in Rome

and Greece.

I promised myself
it would never happen again.

We found this island

where we could live in harmony

peace, sisterhood.

Be gone.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Now, we may lose it forever.

Let me know if there's
any change in his condition.

- About this man--
- There's nothing to discuss.

Oh, mother,
how can you think that way?

I named this island Paradise

for an excellent reason.

There are no men on it.

Thus, it is free
of their wars

their greed,
their hostilities

their barbaric

masculine behavior.

Thousands of years have passed.

Perhaps men
are now...different.

Perhaps they've come to think
as much of peace as we do.

We shall soon see.

Could I serve as his nurse?

No. You're the princess.

You've been trained to rule

not to care
for the needs of the sick.

Well, then,
as a special favor to me.

No.

- Please, mother.
- No.

- It's just for a few days.
- No.

For scientific study.

Very well then, go.

Observe the male species.

But don't..

Go, my daughter.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

It's, uh, difficult

to find words
at a time like this.

Steve wouldn't have wanted
a long eulogy.

Just a drink in his honor,
that's about it.

You're right.

To Steve Trevor.

'A genuine American hero.'

[music continues]

How is he?

I just gave him
a potion of special serum.

[breathing heavily]

What is your name?

Steven Leonard Trevor.

Major,
United States Air Corp.

Why were you flying
over this island? Answer me.

I was tryin'
to intercept a Nazi plane

'on its way to bomb the US.'

What are Nazis and the US?

Nazis..

...are a group of evil men

'out to rule the world.'

They kill anyone
who doesn't agree with them

like the United States
of America.

What would happen
if the Nazis should defeat you?

Dictatorship.

The end of freedom for mankind.

I've gotta get back.
I've gotta try.

[groans]

He should rest now.

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

A wire, Herr Oberst.

Speak.

[gasps]

Drangel has failed.

He and the XV-12
have gone down somewhere..

...off Bermuda

in the devil's triangle.

- How?
- No one knows.

An allied pilot, the devil.

There must be a leak

somewhere here at the airfield.

Three of the mechanics
were severely interrogated

by the gestapo.

- They have all confessed.
- Useless!

Telephone the factory.

Tell them
to redouble their efforts

to complete the XV-13.

I will fly it...myself.

[instrumental music]

[harp music]

You wanted to see me, mother?

You may leave his care
to others.

Well, thank you,
but I would prefer to stay on

until I'm certain
that he's well.

That was a command

not a request.

Am I allowed to ask why?

You are very intelligent.

I am your daughter.

There are so many things
you don't know.

Do you have any idea
of your age?

By what standard?

- By the earth's clock.
- No.

You are immortal,
as are all of us

on Paradise Island.

If you should
ever leave here

you could revert
to a human being.

Why are you telling me
this now, mother?

Because I sense

what might happen
between you and that man.

We are stronger, wiser,
and more advanced

than all those people
in their jungles out there.

'Our civilization
is perfection!'

No.

There's something missing,
mother.

When I look at Steve Trevor..

...I feel things things.

Things I've never known before.

There are some things
that are better not known.

Young Amazon minds
are best occupied

with athletic discipline
and higher learning.

[sighs]

We now know
why he was in the area.

That man must be returned
to his own country.

- But why, mother?
- For his safety.

And ours.

One of our young Amazon girls
will escort him to his country

and then return
to Paradise Island.

But all the girls
will want that task.

I know.

To forestall any ill feeling

I have planned a tournament
of athletic games.

By which I alone
shall determine

the strongest, nimblest

and most likely aspirant
for the assignment.

A tournament.

That's a wonderful idea,
mother.

I'll look forward
to participating

in the games myself.

You?

- Never.
- But, mother--

I cannot risk my only
begotten child, our princess

on a mission in behalf
of the life of a, a savage.

- Is that your final decision?
- Yes, it is.

Then I'd rather not stay
for the tournament.

Perhaps I'll go on retreat,
o the summer palace.

As you wish.

Trust me in this.

[instrumental music]

(Hippolyta)
Noble Amazons, masked

in the tradition
of our tournaments

with only your
individual skills

and prowess to rely upon.

'One of you will win'

'for the glory of all'

and to preserve our Paradise.

Let the tournament begin.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

The events have been tallied..

...and two Amazons
are now tied for the honor.

There is only one way
to break the deadlock.

Bullets and bracelets.

[intense music]

For only women have the
necessary speed and coordination

'to attempt
bullets and bracelets'

without the loss of life.

Are you ready?

Begin.

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshots]

[indistinct chatter]

[intense music]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[all clamoring]

This is the golden belt.

It is the symbol
of Amazon supremacy.

So long as you wear it

you will retain
your cunning and strength

away from Paradise Island.

And this
is your golden lasso.

Beside being made
of an indestructible material

it also carries with it

the power to compel people
to tell the truth.

Use it well
and with compassion.

'You realize the task
you have chosen'

is the most difficult sacrifice

any person can make.

I do it because
I love my people.

I love my queen..

...but most of all..

[crowd gasping]

...I love my mother.

[instrumental music]

I'm sorry, mother..

...but it was the only way.

I would've expected..

...nothing less
from my own daughter.

I did it for you, mother.

[instrumental music]

(Hippolyta)
'The colors were chosen
to show your allegiance'

'to freedom and democracy.'

The skirt can be discarded
if it should prove cumbersome.

The material
is indestructible.

Oh, it's beautiful, mother.
Thank you.

I designed it myself

never knowing that it would be
worn by my own daughter.

I'll make you proud.
I promise.

There are many things you don't
know about the world of men.

There are even some women there

who are less than
our Amazonian ideal.

I believe
I can handle them, mother.

I know you can.
You are my daughter.

And a princess.

[sighs]
The invisible plane is waiting.

The American is already aboard.

Go in peace, my daughter.

And remember that in the world

of ordinary mortals..

...you are a Wonder Woman.

[instrumental music]

I will make you proud of me..

...and of Wonder Woman.

[instrumental music]

[groans]

I must be dreaming.

No, you're not.

I must've died
and gone to heaven.

Two wrong. One guess left.

The last thing I remember was..

...getting shot while
coming down in my parachute.

Shh.

Relax.

'We'll be landing soon.'

[instrumental music]

- Could I help you, please?
- Yes.

I would like to get
this patient admitted.

Uh, just fill out
these forms in triplicate.

You don't understand.

He's quite ill
and needs immediate attention.

- Thank you.
- 'Calling Doctor Wesly.'

- 'Doctor Wesly..'
- Hey.

This is Major Steve Trevor.
He's very ill.

Major Steve Trevor?
But he's dead.

- Who are you?
- I'm his personal nurse.

Take good care of him.

I'm going to leave
my patient in your hands.

Thank you.

Marcia, Steve is alive.

All we know is that
a woman dressed

in a red, white
and blue uniform

dropped him off
at the hospital.

- And nothing more about her?
- No.

But as soon as
he regains consciousness

there's a lot
we have to ask him.

Until then, let's just
be thankful he's alive.

Oh, believe me, I am,
General Blankenship.

See you later, Marcia.

[chuckles]

[dramatic music]

Operator, I'd like to place
a long distance call, please

person-to-person,
to Mr. Carl Hoff

room 451, Hotel Bennett,
New York City

Murray Hill 3667.

My name is Kaye Beasley.

And make it collect, please.

[sighs]

Carl? Marcia.

I need your help, fast.

Get down here
to Washington right away.

Steve Trevor is alive.

Apparently some woman
is responsible

and she must be found
and stopped.

[instrumental music]

[man whistling]

I saw you through the window

and I said to myself..

Brenda, you have something
that would be perfect..

...for a figure like hers.

Now, what you're wearing
is just fine for summer.

Far be it from me
to criticize

but with winter coming..

Oh..

That is most becoming,
my dear.

You certainly use a lot
of material in your dresses.

Oh, well,
this is downright stingy

by comparison
to what we had before the war.

These days, what with
all the rationing

the dresses are half the size.

Thank you very much
for the dress.

- You're welcome.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye. Uh, just a minute.

You can't leave without paying.

- Paying?
- That dress is 6.95.

Marked down from 10.

I haven't the slightest idea
what you're talking about.

No money, no dress.

And next time, lady,
try to con somebody else.

[instrumental music]

[gunshots]

Get back in there,
and you won't get hurt!

[gunshots]

[tires screeching]

Excuse me,
but that's very rude.

- Get out of here, broad!
- It's also dangerous.

Please, put those guns down.
You could hurt people.

- Shoot her, Nadzeel.
- Me?

I never shot a woman before

except in self-defense.

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[groaning]

[engine revving]

[siren wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

Alright, what's going on
here? What happened here?

Officer, those men
robbed our bank.

You say these men
robbed your bank?

Yes. And this wonderful woman
in the bathing suit stopped 'em.

Okay, stand back. Stand back.

Now, what's your story, lady?

Story? Well, I know
a few myths, but--

Oh, a joker, huh?

Okay, I suppose
we start with your name.

- Wonder Woman.
- Sure.

That's the last name, Woman?

First name, Wonder, right?

- Right.
- Wonder Woman.

Hey, Mike, the guy
in the back of the truck

he's startin' to stir.

Stay right
where you are, Wonder.

You caught the robbers,
saved the money

you're gonna
have to fill out forms.

We're gonna need
your statement.

They steal money

and I have to fill out forms.

[chuckles]
What a country this is.

[engine revving]

(Ashley)
'Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo, lady!'

'Lady! Yes, you, lady?'

- What is it?
- Have you got a second, lady?

H-h-how would you like
to accumulate a bundle of money?

Well, I don't rob banks.

Rob banks?
Who needs to?

Not with that bit you had with
the bullets and the bracelets.

Sensational!

I could make a star
out of you, lady

if you play your cards right.

"Ashley Norman: Dogs,
dwarfs and daredevils?"

- 'What does that mean?'
- I'm a theatrical agent.

Oh, well, I'm not
a theatrical performer.

Are you kidding?
You are the greatest!

You do that trick on stage with
the bullets and the bracelets

you'll make people forget
about Harlow and Grable.

Why, Betty Grable looks like
a boy compared to you.

Just a minute.

If I do this bullet trick,
what do I get?

- Money.
- Well..

Apparently, I do need money
to survive here.

(Ashley)
'And lots of it.'

Do you know
that a good steak dinner

costs over a dollar these days?
It's disgusting.

And what do you get
out of this?

- Fifty percent, sweetheart.
- Half the money?

But I'm the one
that's getting shot at.

That's show business.

Well, perhaps I'll get in touch
with you when Steve..

- Uh, when I'm interested.
- 'Oh, no.'

'No, you better
move fast, lady.'

The story
of how you caught those crooks

will be in the papers tomorrow.

You've gotta strike
while the iron is hot.

Remember, there's nothing deader
than yesterday's news.

Call me.

[instrumental music]

How much longer will it be until
my XV-13 will be delivered?

It will be delivered
to Berlin within hours.

Ah!

Excellent. Excellent.

Drangel's disaster
will soon be mitigated

by my triumph
over the skies of New York

before the week is done.

[sighs]

It's a miracle he's alive
with all the wounds he's got.

Have they found out
anything more about

that unusual woman
who dropped him off?

No, nothing, except that
she was strangely dressed

very attractive, quite strong

and unfemininely pushy.

[groans]

Where is she?

Where is that
beautiful girl, that angel?

Steve, it's me,
General Blankenship. Steve?

[mumbles]

'Can you hear me?'

- Where is..
- How did you get here?

What happened
with the plane, Steve?

What..

Nurse,
how is he coming along?

As well as
can be expected, sir.

General.

General, what are you
going to do?

Well..

...I'm momentarily blanked
on this one, Marcia.

If our Intelligence is correct
about the Nazis being able to

take anything at the navy yard
with a superior plane..

...we are in serious difficulty.

We just have to pray
that Steve gets better fast.

- Lieutenant?
- Yes, sir.

I want someone
with him at all times

in case he wakes up long enough
to answer questions.

Very well, sir.
I'll see to it.

Thank you.

Well, let's go, Marcia.

There's nothing more
we can do here now.

Alright.

I'll bet you were surprised

to see Steve again, weren't you?

[chuckles]
You don't know how surprised.

Well, keep up
the good work, lieutenant.

Sir.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

It's you.

- It's really you.
- Shh.

No, it isn't.

You're just dreaming.

'But stay asleep.'

I'll be near
watching over you.

Even if I do have to earn
some money first.

(Ashley)
'Tomorrow night's the night.'

The academy theater
is all booked.

The ads will hit the paper
in the morning

at the same time
that the bank robbery story

hits the front page.

Well, you're quite
sure of yourself.

Absolutely.

If there's one thing
Ashley Norman knows about

it's a woman's mind..

...and money.

[instrumental music]

[applause]

The delightful little lady
you've all come here to meet.

The two most exciting words

in show business today..

...Wonder Woman!

[applause]

Let's hear it! Let's hear it
for this beautiful creature!

Let's hear it!

Now, to prove
that this is no trick

and that the bullets
in these guns are not blanks

I will shoot
at this metal wall

which we have built
to protect the backstage.

Wonder Woman,
step aside, if you please.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Gun and real bullets.
Now, watch this.

[gunshots]

Ho! Ha!

Thank you. You're very kind.
You're very kind.

Now if those of you
who are interested will now

step on stage,
we'll go on with the show.

Come on, have we
a hardy soul here tonight?

'Who's..
Ah, there's a Marine!'

♪ From the shores of Tripoli
my friends ♪♪

Yes, I knew
it would be a Marine.

Bless you, son. Bless you.

Here you are.
Choose your weapon.

Ah, there's another gentleman
right there.

'Another gentleman,
nice big hand.'

'Nice big hand. Who else?
Who else?'

'Do we have a third?
Oh, no, grandma.'

[chuckles]
'A woman. A woman. Let's
hear it. Thank you, ma'am.'

Marine, go ahead!

And he has
sharpshooting medals.

Go ahead,
fire at Wonder Woman.

'Alright.'

'Here comes the shot.'

[gunshot]

[applause]

Ah, here's another man now.

'Go ahead, go ahead, sir,
choose your weapon.'

'And fire away.'

[gunshots]

Bounced right off,
ladies and gentlemen.

Yes!

Just a flick of the wrist

and the bullets slipped off.

Yes.

Ladies, give a nice big hand
for grandmother here

who came up
to fire at Wonder Woman.

Uh, I am not used to firearms,
but I was just wondering

I have a gun that I have fired

and I am comfortable with.
I may use it?

Anything that makes you
comfortable, go right ahead.

[chuckles]
She's comfortable with
that little gun that she..

Hey!

Ah. Ah-ha.
Ohh, ooh, ooh.

[indistinct chatter]

'Hey, lady.'

'Ah, ah, ah, ah.'

Machine gun,
that's something else.

[laughing]
Oh, no. Oh, no.

But in the advertising you say
she, she would face any weapon

is that not so?

Right.

[applause]

Hmm, just a moment, please.

It is up to you,
Wonder Woman.

Go ahead.

Hold your fire. Ha-ha.

Wonder Woman says

she is not afraid.

Fire at will.

[machine gun firing]

Did you see that,
ladies and gentlemen?

'Ladies and gentlemen, you saw
this with your own eyes!'

[applause]

Did you see her
divert those bullets?

By God, it was fascinating!

[cheer and applause]

[instrumental music]

Well, Nikolas, we may
never see each other again.

Oh, don't say that,
Herr Oberst.

I know in my heart
you will return.

Ah!

There are several times
in a man's life

when he might be glad
that he never married.

I think, Nikolas,
that this is one of them.

Yes.

I will leave only my pigeons

and my good friend..

...Nikolas.

Thank you, sir.

Contact Washington
and in quote Charlie One

inform Agent M of the
approximate time of my bombing

and have her inform
the U-boat, off Long Island.

Jawohl, Herr Oberst.

May I shake your hand?

Under the circumstances,
why not?

Goodbye, Nikolas.

God bless America.

Terrific.
You knocked 'em dead.

Read what they said
in the papers, huh?

We're gonna be a smash
from coast to coast, sweetheart.

- Coast to coast?
- Yes.

I already got an advance on
Madison Square Garden, New York

and the Coliseum in LA.

One year on tour
and we will be on easy street.

No, not me.

P.. P-pardon?

That's it, I'm through.

W-w-what are you
talkin' about?

Now, you-you-you
can't quit now.

I'm sorry, Mr. Norman

but I came
to the United States

to do something
very important.

Much more important
than this.

Oh, sure, well, I understand.
That's the way it goes.

Some people get caught up
in the smell of greasepaint

and some people don't.
Ha-ha.

Look, why don't you
sit down?

Take it easy?
I'll be back in a moment.

I'm just going outside
for a little drink of water.

Here, just read
the rest of the reviews

at least keep
a few memories. Ha-ha.

Excuse me, Mr. Norman,
but that's my money too.

Whoops. How, how,
how right you are.

How right you are. Look,
I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll just leave it here,
you take your half

leave me the rest,
I trust you.

I can avoid that bullet faster
than you can shoot, Mr. Norman.

Ashley Norman,
you are certainly one man

who is not to be trusted.

Please, don't, don't hurt me.

Hurt you?

Where I'm from,
we try never to hurt people.

Goodbye.

[instrumental music]

Hello, Marcia?
This is Carl.

I tried everything I could to
stop her, but it didn't work.

Okay, okay, so I failed.
You want me to follow her?

Oh, left Argentina already?

Okay, I'll wait
at the apartment.

Heil Hitler. Gee.

[instrumental music]

- 'Hello?'
- Hello, Steve, how are you?

(Steve)
'Oh, coming along.
How's everything there?'

Not so good.

Our Argentine source
reports that a top Nazi

in new their long range
bomber, the XV-13

is already headed
for the States.

It'll take the measure of
anything we can put in the air.

Well, that's terrible.

Von Blasko, their ace
is flying it himself.

Uh, latest intelligence
reports he took off

from the refueling base in
Argentina about an hour ago.

'Von Blasko?'

General, if he's flying
that mission himself

then the target must be more
than the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Steve, what about
the morale factor?

If the Nazis bomb
the continental United States--

No, it's more than that,
much more.

General, now you
never told me, but, uh..

...the Norden bombsight..

'Is that being manufactured?'

My God, Trevor, that must be it.

I'll warm up a squadron
of P-38s right away.

No, no, they wouldn't
have a chance.

Von Blasko would carve 'em up
with that XV-13.

Now if that bombsight
is being manufactured there

then secrecy must be kept.

General, warm up my new plane.

But you never tested it.

And orders are that
you stay in bed, Steve.

Hello? Hello?

Uh, we must have a bad
connection here, general.

Make sure they have that plane
gassed up and ready to go.

I should be at the air base
within half an hour.

General Blankenship's
gonna go through the roof.

You needn't worry. I'll take
all the responsibility.

I'll send a car
to take you out to the base.

No, no, no, there's no time.
I'll catch a cab.

If I shortcut along
the old Georgetown Road

I should be there
at 16:00 hours.

Take care, Steve.

Don't I always?

Can't you go any faster?

If you wanna drive,
I'll let you drive.

Uh-oh, trouble.

Hi. What seems
to be the problem?

Stay right where
you are, fly-boy.

Oh.

That is a problem.
Hey, taxi!

Don't make a move!

Or we're gonna mess up
that pretty little

soldier suit of yours.

[grunts]

[speaking in foreign language]

[grunting]

Kaputt.

I say we kill
the pig now.

Put away the knife.
Idiot.

If we do that,
the Gestapo will have us killed.

Let's get him back
to the apartment, schnell!

Schnell.

- Nurse Buck.
- Yes?

Major Trevor.
He's not in his room.

I've looked all over
the hospital for him.

- I think he's gone.
- That's right.

His doctor wanted him
to stay several more days

but he wanted to get back
to the war, so I let him.

He's a real soldier.

Would you happen
to know where he went?

Oh, he's good lookin'
and single too.

Uh, he's with
military intelligence.

It's that big marble building
down on D Street.

Whoops! Gotta make my rounds.
See you later.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Steve Trevor knows
the combination to the safe

containing
the Norden bombsight plans.

But he wouldn't give it to us
under any torture.

We're gonna have
to use truth serum.

First, prepare the hypodermic.

It took me five years
to gain his complete confidence.

He will respond
to my voice under the drug.

Hmm. What time is the rendezvous
with our U-boat?

1:00 a.m.

If I'm not back
from the office by midnight

Trevor is to be killed.

If I do get back in time,
we'll take him with us..

...to the fatherland.

- Heil Hitler.
- Heil Hitler.

But why bother?

Because, you fool,
he is the key

to American Intelligence
activities.

I gave him the shot.

Good.

Hello, Steve darling.
It's Marcia.

Marcia.

It's very important
that we get into the safe

in your office now, Steve.

Important?

- Safe?
- That's right.

Just give me the combination
and I'll take care of it.

[laughs]

I can't.

It's a secret.

Tell me the combination,
Steve.

The general needs the plans
to the Norden bombsight.

[chuckles]

I can't do it.

[speaking in foreign language]

You'll bring him back
to consciousness.

Let me try another tack.

Steve.

You trust me, don't you?

Oh, sure, Mar.. Marcia.

You're my good friend.

Yes, I am.

Now, give me the combination.

Steve, the whole country
is depending on you.

The whole country?

Millions of people.

Millions of people?

For old glory?

Twenty-four left..

...twenty-six right..

And thirty-three

to the left.

I knew it was you
all the time.

You didn't know anything.

Well, I knew that
you had a friend

who carried a machine gun
in her purse.

'And you won't get away
with whatever you're doing.'

Oh, and who's gonna stop me?

Oh, you of all people
should realize

how useless
that gun is against me.

I don't need a gun
to take you, Wonder Woman.

I was Nuremberg judo champ!

I assume...that
that is supposed to impress me.

Ha!

♪ Wonder Woman ♪

[groaning]

Ah.

[grunting]

[instrumental music]

Ah.

[grunts]

Ha!

They didn't teach you
to fight fair.

Aah! Oh!

♪ Wonder Woman ♪♪

Now, you are going
to tell the truth.

I.. I..

Don't bother fighting it.

That lasso compels you
to be honest

and you must
answer every question.

Where is Steve Trevor?

M.. M.. My apartment.

Uh, 20.. 2809 West 20th street,
Chevy Chase.

- Is he alright?
- Ah. Until midnight.

If I'm not there by then,
he'll be killed.

[laughing]

That's the same hour that

the Brooklyn Navy Yard
will be bombed

and the Norden bombsight
destroyed.

You may be fast,
Wonder Woman

but nobody can be at two places
at the same time.

[laughs]

Its over, Marcia.
You're through.

You may have me.

But the Third Reich
will never be through.

It will go on a 1000 years.

I heard the Greeks and
the Romans say the same thing.

You heard that?

I may be older than I look.

Now, what number do I call
on this instrument

to reach your apartment?

Capitol 6-7-3-2.

We'll get even
with you for this.

My people
will send more agents.

No. The Nazis don't care
about their women.

They let you
fend for yourself.

And any civilization that
does not recognize the female

is doomed to destruction.

Women are the wave
of the future

and sisterhood
is stronger than anything.

(in Marcia's voice)
This is Marcia.
The plans have been changed.

I'll be there an hour later.

What about the rendezvous
with the submarine?

Advise them
of the alteration.

No!

You are going to stay
right where you are.

You must obey.

I m-must obey.

And to think that
Steve Trevor was fooled by you.

I'm going to have
to get accustomed

to men and devious women.

[dramatic music]

(man on radio)
'Calling Von Blasko.
Calling Von Blasko.'

'U-boat 23 calling.'

You were ordered
to maintain radio silence.

(man on radio)
'Plans changed.'

'The estimated time
of departure now, 02:00 hours.'

That's 2:00 a.m.

Nein! Nein!

We rendezvous at midnight.
At midnight.

If the others are late,
they will pay

for their tardiness
with their lives.

[music continues]

[grunts]

(man on radio)
'Take it up now.
Surface your U-boat.'

[music continues]

Who are you?

- Your welcoming committee.
- I don't think--

Just nose your plane down
to the closest airstrip

and everything will be fine.

No one can stop
this mission.

Least of all, a woman.

You obviously have
little regard for womanhood.

You must learn respect.

I prefer not to soil my hands
on female flesh

but if you insist.

(man on radio)
'Calling Von Blasko.
U-boat 23 calling.'

- 'Come in, Von Blasko.'
- Ja.

(man on radio)
'We have you approaching
the Brooklyn Navy Yard.'

What is your position?

'Thirty-two miles due east
off Long Island.'

'Latitude 40, 45, 06.'

'Longitude 73, 59, 39.'

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

You again?

This man is a top Nazi spy.

Put him in a cell
and throw away the key.

You can't just dump a spy
and walk away like that.

You've gotta come in
to the station house

and fill out some reports.

Goodnight, gentlemen.

Ten minutes to 1:00.

The sub doesn't
answer, something's wrong.

Let's kill him
and get out of here.

No, no, no, Marcia said
to wait until 1 o'clock.

You can stay if you want,
but I'm gonna leave now.

Alright, let's plug him,
get out of here.

So, Mr. Norman..

...my old friend the agent,
we meet again.

[gunshots]

[gun clicking]

Ha!

♪ Wonder Woman ♪♪

Sit down, Steve.

I don't know who you are
but get this chair off my back.

- It's you!
- Mm-hmm.

Well, how did you..
Look, I've gotta get

out of here. There's
a spy plane on the way to--

No, there isn't.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is safe.

And so is
the Norden bombsight.

You knew
what they were after?

Von Blasko is in jail

his XV-13 is at the bottom
of the Atlantic

along with the submarine
that was to pick up these men..

...and Marcia.

Marcia?

She was the leader
of the pack, Steve.

A most untrustworthy
associate.

[sighs]

Marcia.

I really have to go now.

Now, wait a minute.

You can't just keep walking in
and out of my life like this.

Who are you? Where are you from?
How are you able to do--

Shh.

We'll be together again...soon.
Somehow.

But I owe you my life.
How can I ever repay..

(Steve)
'At least I've learned
one good thing.'

'From now on, I'm going to have
an ordinary-looking secretary.'

(Blankenship)
'Well, I anticipated
the way you'd feel, Steve'

'so I personally interviewed
15 prospective secretaries.'

The one I chose
was a Navy wave

who scored highest in all
the office aptitude tests

but she's duller
than a fat lapdog after dinner.

[both laughing]

She's waiting for you
in your office right now.

Good. I've had it
up to here with pretty girls.

Well, a man can't get
too much of a good thing.

Uh, Prince.

Yes, general.

Uh, Major Trevor, this is yeoman
first class Diana Prince.

- Nice to meet you, Diana.
- Major.

Uh, no rank around here, let's
just make it Steve and Diana.

- Alright?
- Thank you, Steve.

- Good.
- Well.

I'll be off
and let you two get acquainted.

Oh, j-just a minute,
general, um..

Did you get
any further information

on that, uh, Wonder Woman?

Not a thing. She vanished
as quickly as she appeared.

Sort of, uh, captivated
by her, were you?

We'll talk about that
some other time, alright?

Of course, I understand.

Uh, take a letter, Diana.

Take a letter to, um..

Uh..

Say, "Dear miss, um.."

You're at a loss
for words, sir?

Yes, for the first time
in my life.

You see,
I wanted to tell someone..

...something and..

And you couldn't say it.

Well, I'm afraid
I don't know how.

Just say it.

You mean straight out?

Whatever the language,
be honest.

You're very perceptive,
Diana.

I'm a woman.

Where I was brought up

women were taught
to respect honesty.

Now, I like that.

You know...we're gonna
get along just fine.

I'm sure we will.
