Wonder Woman (1975–1979): Season 2, Episode 21 - The Girl from Ilandia - full transcript
While out on his yacht, newspaper man Simon Penrose finds a young girl on a raft. She has no I.D. but wears mysterious, difficult to remove jewelry. Simon calls in his old friend Diana Prince, who recognizes the jewels as being from the other dimensional and legendary Ilandia. Of course she keeps this information to herself, and confides to the girl as Wonder Woman.
Oh, yes, darling,
you tell him that.
Yes. And once more,
tell him I met him..
Now, Ed, you handle
that, too, huh?
And please, uh, make sure
it's at least 15 minutes
before you call
me back, okay?
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 you did
an anchor, Mr. Penrose.
Yeah, well, I didn't wanna see
myself coming back into port
the proud publisher
of 18 weekly readers.
You know, I think we're
getting back just in time.
It looks like it's starting
to close in.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Now 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.
'Alright, cut the engine!'
'Is she breathing?'
Yeah, I think so.
Come on let's get her
aboard the ship.
Take her to a hospital.
'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.

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
uhh, I think it was me
saying that, I'm listening.
Well, I'm out here
in California, Long Beach.
Uh, we picked up a little girl
out of the ocean yesterday.
Now, she was
and still is unconscious
'and has been hospitalized.'
- Who is she?
- 'Well..'
'That's one question nobody'
seems to be able to answer.
And 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,
that's why I am calling you.
I'd like you to come out here,
Diana
'and see we could help
identify her.'
Now, Simon, 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, Diana.
'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, uh, nice to know
you haven't changed, Simon.
And what I'm hoping
is that you haven't.
Oceanside Hospital,
Long Beach.
There'll be a pass for you
at the door.
Any changes, Jerry?
I'm afraid not.
Now why is it you can't seem
to do anything for her?
She's not responding
to treatment like she should.
Simon, she's just
as much a mystery
to everyone in my field
as she is to everyone in yours.
Yeah, but she may die
without anyone
'knowing so much as 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, uh..
I'm expecting a woman,
uh, Diana Prince.
She should be here
this afternoon.
Now I expect full cooperation
from you and your staff.
'All available interns
report to emergency.'
'All available interns..'
- Hello.
- Hello.
I know you're Barbie.
They, uh, told me
there was a Goddess
down at 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.
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...
- That's the breaks.
- That's the breaks.
Yes.
Uh, 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.
I'm from the IADC.
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.
The men with the cart.
- In the elevator.
- I'll call security.
'Nurse Ketchum,
please contact Dr. Conklin.'
'Nurse Ketchum,
please contact Dr. Conklin.'
You better take care of her,
Wonder Woman.
'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 the one 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, well, if the Broncos
are lucky, she will.
Hmm, well, I'll tell you
what, little girl
and I'm getting tired
of calling you "little girl."
You know what I think I'll do,
I'll give you another name.
Tina, alright?
Unless you wanna tell me
your real name.
Tina's fine.
Alright, then Tina it is.
Although, I don't know
how it's gonna look
on the Bronco roster. Tina.
Listen, Simon, can I talk to you
outside for a minute?
- Uh, is it important?
- Yeah.
Alright. See you
in a little while.
I'll be right back.
'Dr. Minch, please report
to Pathology.'
Well, what is it? I hope
you're going to tell me
that 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.
Diana, time has long been
an enemy of mine
as it is with those whose life
is composed of deadlines.
In fact, I have a metaller
just coming up here
in about 20 minutes
to try to trace
the jewelry that she's wearing.
Now, Simon
she's very protective
of that jewelry.
'She might object.'
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.
'Me? Pushing? I'm trying to find
out who she is'
'and where she came from.
That's pushing?'
And in doing so, you're gonna
scare this girl half to death.
She already feels
like a freak.
Uh, Diana, look,
I have been around
in this business
for over 30 years.
Now, I know exactly
what I'm doing.
That hardly qualifies you
for an award
in human relations,
does it, Mr. Penrose?
Besides which,
I'd like to remind you
that you did fly me out here
and I assumed it was because
you trusted my judgment.
Tch. Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry, Diana.
I.. I do trust your judgment.
It's just that
this kid has become
such an obsession with me.
And I-I don't know why.
I don't know what it is.
Plus, you did name her Tina.
Yeah, so what?
Your wife's name was
Christine, wasn't it?
Yeah, and, uh, 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!
Please, come get me.
'Come on, boy.'
'Come on.
I'm not gonna hurt you.'
'Come on.'
'Come on, that's good.'
Come here, boy. Come on.
'Come on.'
That's right. Come on.
C-come on.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Come here, boy. Come on.
Come on.
Come on, boy. Come on.
Come on, come on. Oh, yeah.
That's it. That's a good boy.
You see, I'm not gonna hurt you.
Yeah.
Hey, you wanna play?
You wanna play?
Hey, yeah. Here's a stick.
Can you go get it?
Can you go get it?
'Come on. Come on.'
Come on, boy. Come on, come on.
Come on. Can you get that?
Yeah. Yeah.
You're lost too, aren't you?
Just like me.
You wish you could go home too.
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.
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
fingerprints of the two men'
'who tried to take
her out before?'
No, I'm afraid not.
IRA, much to his embarrassment
'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?
Oh, 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 gonna do me
a little favor.
- Forget it.
- No, you forget it.
Now, you 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?
- Hey, maybe I'll share.
Now, you're the right size,
let's go.
- 'No!'
- Shut up, you stupid dog!
Get out of here!
'This just in.'
'Authorities in Long Beach'
'report that 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.'
'Also in the news
this evening..'
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.
- Well, you ready to go home?
Yeah.
Here, boy, come on.
'Yeah.'
Come on. Come on.
- Oh, look what she's got here.
- Oh..
Well, would you like
to take the dog home with you?
Oh, please, yes. Can I?
Well, 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.
Hey, listen, uh..
I'm gonna try to make
arrangements for you to meet
that lady that
we talked about before, okay?
Oh, good.
Well, let's go, uh..
...you two tigers
look pretty hungry to me.
- Come on, Tiger.
- Simon, uh..
A friend of mine at the IADC
is checking on a few leads
right now to find out
exactly where she came from.
- Well, alright, fine.
- Okay?
Uh, can I give you a lift?
No, I've got a cab
waiting outside. Thanks.
Hmm. Well, okay. Keep in touch.
Yeah.
'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.
Alright, assuming Bleaker
really does exist
uh, 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.
- Hey, good morning, Tina.
- Hi.
Hey, what's happening here?
How did, uh, little Tiger
like his eggs?
He likes the bacon better.
I figured that. I figured that.
Let me give him some bacon.
Here we go. Oh.
Well, Tina, when are you gonna
tell me who you really are?
I don't know.
Okay. Okay.
But 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.'
'Yeah.'
The closest I ever let
people come to me was..
...smacked 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, uh..'
...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.
Well, it's all clear. Let's go.
Hold it. Regular laundry
delivery isn't till 11 o'clock.
Now we don't move till then.
Alright, if you say so.
Hey, come on, relax.
Let's get our money's worth
out of the truck, right, huh?
Come on, Tiger, come on.
Come on, Tiger.
Come on. Yeah.
Yeah. Good boy.
Go get it!
- Hi, Tina.
- Wonder Woman!
Oh, look at this.
That's Tiger.
He acts like he knows you.
Come on,
want to catch this ball?
Come on.
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.
- 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.
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.
Now, 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 five thousand.
I'm supposed to protect people
like the policemen here.
That man kidnapped me
just when I was learning
how to use them.
Well...how about if we see
just how much you have learned?
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Wow!
Now that was terrific.
Let's try another.
Not bad.
Not bad.
That was very good.
Now..
...try this.
I know, I know, someday.
Someday.
Aww.
Oh, no.
Someday.
Someday..
Watch this.
'That's gonna land
on the moon.'
Now, 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.
- 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,
like those men
in the hospital, I'll let him.
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 Amadonna.
That's beautiful...Amadonna.
Now, you just let me worry
about getting you home, okay?
Pretty soon,
the people in Ilandia
won't care about me anymore.
Oh..
They'll always care about you.
The people in your world are no
different from those in mine.
Once they love someone,
they go right on loving.
And they'll wait for that
someone to come back to them.
Aww..
'Tina.'
Guess I'd better go now.
Thanks, Wonder Woman.
Trust me, Amadonna.
Tiger.
Tiger, you take care of her,
and if she's in trouble
you come and find me.
Understand?
Just a minute, little girl.
Now, don't you try anything.
None of that funny stuff now.
Quiet, Tiger. Sit.
Now you're being
a smart little girl.
Come on, sweetheart.
Let's go.
'Take a long look, sweetheart.'
You got away from me once before
but I guarantee
it won't happen again.
Tiger.
They've taken Tina?
Can you lead me to her?
Okay, now, hold on.
I-I'll change.
I'll change first. Hang on, boy.
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.
I want you to get to the phone,
call the police
and get them out here
as soon as possible.
Good boy. Now, you stay.
No, I won't let you!
Settle down.
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!
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?
Ah! 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!
Now!
Tiger!
You stay here.
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.
Her life is gonna be
complicated enough
without the whole world knowing
who she is
and where she came from.
And so, gentlemen, your memories
are about to become
a little faulty.
Are you alright, Tina?
I want to go home.
With you.
Really?
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Wow.
Oh, you don't know
how happy that makes me.
Hmm, I guess I'm gonna 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
a lot 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.

you tell him that.
Yes. And once more,
tell him I met him..
Now, Ed, you handle
that, too, huh?
And please, uh, make sure
it's at least 15 minutes
before you call
me back, okay?
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 you did
an anchor, Mr. Penrose.
Yeah, well, I didn't wanna see
myself coming back into port
the proud publisher
of 18 weekly readers.
You know, I think we're
getting back just in time.
It looks like it's starting
to close in.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Now 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.
'Alright, cut the engine!'
'Is she breathing?'
Yeah, I think so.
Come on let's get her
aboard the ship.
Take her to a hospital.
'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.

Oh, right, put him on.

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
uhh, I think it was me
saying that, I'm listening.
Well, I'm out here
in California, Long Beach.
Uh, we picked up a little girl
out of the ocean yesterday.
Now, she was
and still is unconscious
'and has been hospitalized.'
- Who is she?
- 'Well..'
'That's one question nobody'
seems to be able to answer.
And 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,
that's why I am calling you.
I'd like you to come out here,
Diana
'and see we could help
identify her.'
Now, Simon, 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, Diana.
'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, uh, nice to know
you haven't changed, Simon.
And what I'm hoping
is that you haven't.
Oceanside Hospital,
Long Beach.
There'll be a pass for you
at the door.
Any changes, Jerry?
I'm afraid not.
Now why is it you can't seem
to do anything for her?
She's not responding
to treatment like she should.
Simon, she's just
as much a mystery
to everyone in my field
as she is to everyone in yours.
Yeah, but she may die
without anyone
'knowing so much as 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, uh..
I'm expecting a woman,
uh, Diana Prince.
She should be here
this afternoon.
Now I expect full cooperation
from you and your staff.
'All available interns
report to emergency.'
'All available interns..'
- Hello.
- Hello.
I know you're Barbie.
They, uh, told me
there was a Goddess
down at 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.
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...
- That's the breaks.
- That's the breaks.
Yes.
Uh, 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.
I'm from the IADC.
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.
The men with the cart.
- In the elevator.
- I'll call security.
'Nurse Ketchum,
please contact Dr. Conklin.'
'Nurse Ketchum,
please contact Dr. Conklin.'
You better take care of her,
Wonder Woman.
'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 the one 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, well, if the Broncos
are lucky, she will.
Hmm, well, I'll tell you
what, little girl
and I'm getting tired
of calling you "little girl."
You know what I think I'll do,
I'll give you another name.
Tina, alright?
Unless you wanna tell me
your real name.
Tina's fine.
Alright, then Tina it is.
Although, I don't know
how it's gonna look
on the Bronco roster. Tina.
Listen, Simon, can I talk to you
outside for a minute?
- Uh, is it important?
- Yeah.
Alright. See you
in a little while.
I'll be right back.
'Dr. Minch, please report
to Pathology.'
Well, what is it? I hope
you're going to tell me
that 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.
Diana, time has long been
an enemy of mine
as it is with those whose life
is composed of deadlines.
In fact, I have a metaller
just coming up here
in about 20 minutes
to try to trace
the jewelry that she's wearing.
Now, Simon
she's very protective
of that jewelry.
'She might object.'
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.
'Me? Pushing? I'm trying to find
out who she is'
'and where she came from.
That's pushing?'
And in doing so, you're gonna
scare this girl half to death.
She already feels
like a freak.
Uh, Diana, look,
I have been around
in this business
for over 30 years.
Now, I know exactly
what I'm doing.
That hardly qualifies you
for an award
in human relations,
does it, Mr. Penrose?
Besides which,
I'd like to remind you
that you did fly me out here
and I assumed it was because
you trusted my judgment.
Tch. Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry, Diana.
I.. I do trust your judgment.
It's just that
this kid has become
such an obsession with me.
And I-I don't know why.
I don't know what it is.
Plus, you did name her Tina.
Yeah, so what?
Your wife's name was
Christine, wasn't it?
Yeah, and, uh, 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!
Please, come get me.
'Come on, boy.'
'Come on.
I'm not gonna hurt you.'
'Come on.'
'Come on, that's good.'
Come here, boy. Come on.
'Come on.'
That's right. Come on.
C-come on.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Come here, boy. Come on.
Come on.
Come on, boy. Come on.
Come on, come on. Oh, yeah.
That's it. That's a good boy.
You see, I'm not gonna hurt you.
Yeah.
Hey, you wanna play?
You wanna play?
Hey, yeah. Here's a stick.
Can you go get it?
Can you go get it?
'Come on. Come on.'
Come on, boy. Come on, come on.
Come on. Can you get that?
Yeah. Yeah.
You're lost too, aren't you?
Just like me.
You wish you could go home too.
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.
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
fingerprints of the two men'
'who tried to take
her out before?'
No, I'm afraid not.
IRA, much to his embarrassment
'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?
Oh, 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 gonna do me
a little favor.
- Forget it.
- No, you forget it.
Now, you 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?
- Hey, maybe I'll share.
Now, you're the right size,
let's go.
- 'No!'
- Shut up, you stupid dog!
Get out of here!
'This just in.'
'Authorities in Long Beach'
'report that 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.'
'Also in the news
this evening..'
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.
- Well, you ready to go home?
Yeah.
Here, boy, come on.
'Yeah.'
Come on. Come on.
- Oh, look what she's got here.
- Oh..
Well, would you like
to take the dog home with you?
Oh, please, yes. Can I?
Well, 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.
Hey, listen, uh..
I'm gonna try to make
arrangements for you to meet
that lady that
we talked about before, okay?
Oh, good.
Well, let's go, uh..
...you two tigers
look pretty hungry to me.
- Come on, Tiger.
- Simon, uh..
A friend of mine at the IADC
is checking on a few leads
right now to find out
exactly where she came from.
- Well, alright, fine.
- Okay?
Uh, can I give you a lift?
No, I've got a cab
waiting outside. Thanks.
Hmm. Well, okay. Keep in touch.
Yeah.
'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.
Alright, assuming Bleaker
really does exist
uh, 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.
- Hey, good morning, Tina.
- Hi.
Hey, what's happening here?
How did, uh, little Tiger
like his eggs?
He likes the bacon better.
I figured that. I figured that.
Let me give him some bacon.
Here we go. Oh.
Well, Tina, when are you gonna
tell me who you really are?
I don't know.
Okay. Okay.
But 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.'
'Yeah.'
The closest I ever let
people come to me was..
...smacked 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, uh..'
...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.
Well, it's all clear. Let's go.
Hold it. Regular laundry
delivery isn't till 11 o'clock.
Now we don't move till then.
Alright, if you say so.
Hey, come on, relax.
Let's get our money's worth
out of the truck, right, huh?
Come on, Tiger, come on.
Come on, Tiger.
Come on. Yeah.
Yeah. Good boy.
Go get it!
- Hi, Tina.
- Wonder Woman!
Oh, look at this.
That's Tiger.
He acts like he knows you.
Come on,
want to catch this ball?
Come on.
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.
- 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.
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.
Now, 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 five thousand.
I'm supposed to protect people
like the policemen here.
That man kidnapped me
just when I was learning
how to use them.
Well...how about if we see
just how much you have learned?
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Wow!
Now that was terrific.
Let's try another.
Not bad.
Not bad.
That was very good.
Now..
...try this.
I know, I know, someday.
Someday.
Aww.
Oh, no.
Someday.
Someday..
Watch this.
'That's gonna land
on the moon.'
Now, 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.
- 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,
like those men
in the hospital, I'll let him.
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 Amadonna.
That's beautiful...Amadonna.
Now, you just let me worry
about getting you home, okay?
Pretty soon,
the people in Ilandia
won't care about me anymore.
Oh..
They'll always care about you.
The people in your world are no
different from those in mine.
Once they love someone,
they go right on loving.
And they'll wait for that
someone to come back to them.
Aww..
'Tina.'
Guess I'd better go now.
Thanks, Wonder Woman.
Trust me, Amadonna.
Tiger.
Tiger, you take care of her,
and if she's in trouble
you come and find me.
Understand?
Just a minute, little girl.
Now, don't you try anything.
None of that funny stuff now.
Quiet, Tiger. Sit.
Now you're being
a smart little girl.
Come on, sweetheart.
Let's go.
'Take a long look, sweetheart.'
You got away from me once before
but I guarantee
it won't happen again.
Tiger.
They've taken Tina?
Can you lead me to her?
Okay, now, hold on.
I-I'll change.
I'll change first. Hang on, boy.
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.
I want you to get to the phone,
call the police
and get them out here
as soon as possible.
Good boy. Now, you stay.
No, I won't let you!
Settle down.
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!
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?
Ah! 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!
Now!
Tiger!
You stay here.
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.
Her life is gonna be
complicated enough
without the whole world knowing
who she is
and where she came from.
And so, gentlemen, your memories
are about to become
a little faulty.
Are you alright, Tina?
I want to go home.
With you.
Really?
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Wow.
Oh, you don't know
how happy that makes me.
Hmm, I guess I'm gonna 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
a lot 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.
