[beeping]
Uh, right. I'm on my way.
Diana's on her way.
[instrumental music]
How did you get here so fast?
Oh, there's not much traffic
at 6:00 a.m. in the morning.
Why has every crisis
since World War II
happened right in the middle
of my beauty sleep?
You're not getting
too old for this, are you, Joe?
I was too old for this before
either one of you were born.
(man on TV)
'Thank you all
for responding so promptly.'
'This secret tape
was made yesterday at Miami.'
'An hour ago, IB Analysis
identified this man'
'as Evan Robley.'
It's Robley, alright, sir.
I remember him from the time
he stole the nuclear plans
from the French Navy.
Evan Robley has stolen
just about everything
from everybody.
If there were a thieves'
hall of fame
Evan Robley would be
a charter member.
- Mm.
- 'Well said, Steve.'
'This tape was sent by Interpol'
'after Robley robbed
the Bangkok Mint.'
'You can see it shows him
enjoying his ill-gotten gains'
'apparently free of any fear
of apprehension.'
'I'd like you
to study his disguise.'
'As far as I'm concerned,
he is the grand master'
'not only of disguises'
'but international thieves
as well.'
'And this was the ID he used to
steal the rocket fuel formula'
'from the top secret
Turkish Air Base.'
We got him that time, sir.
[chuckles]
Yeah, for about ten minutes.
He escaped on the way to jail.
(man on TV)
'Well, he's in Palm Beach now'
'the millionaires' sandbox.'
'And I want you to know,
he plays up to it.'
'But I want to know
exactly what he's up to.'
'Thank you, and good morning.'
'A good early morning.'
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Do you think Robley's after
something here in Washington?
Then why would he go to Florida?
I've got an idea. Come on.
[door buzzes]
Well, all of my mornings
spent poring over newspapers
has finally paid off.
Queen Kathryn of Malakar
just happens to be
in Palm Beach, Florida,
at this very moment.
[Steve scoffs]
Brilliant deduction,
my dear Watson.
Thank you, Holmes.
Would one of you mind telling me
what's going on here?
Uh, Queen Kathryn is, uh,
this generation's Cinderella.
She met the Prince of Malakar
on a Mediterranean cruise.
They fell in love
and were married.
Last year, her husband died
and she became queen.
Not bad for little old
Kathy O'Reilly
from Boston, Massachusetts.
Of course. Now I remember,
but who doesn't?
But what has this
got to do with Evan Robley?
Well, she brought with her what
amounts to the Malakar heritage
a priceless diamond
crown and necklace.
[whistles]
- 'Then she'll need protection.'
- 'Mm-hmm.'
Now wait a minute.
She's staying
at the Malakar consulate.
We have absolutely no
jurisdiction there whatsoever.
Well, then, we'll have to go
undercover.
Well, once inside, you'll be
strictly on your own.
Of course.
This is the Malakar ambassador
to the US
greeting her, isn't it?
Yes, it's the same
Gregory Orrick
that was so critical of Kathryn
when she took the throne.
You can't blame the man
for being chauvinistic
about his country, Diana.
Kathleen O'Reilly
was a bit of a wild shamrock.
I would label this whole thing
handle with care.
And dispatch.
- Shall we, Steve?
- Indeed we shall.
I'll make the reservations.
You two get packed.
- We stay packed, Joe.
- Mm-hm.
How's the weather in Palm Beach?
About the same
as it is in Malakar.
- Only more so.
- Mm-hmm. Good trip.
So long, Joe.
Ready Jet Star Number 2 for
Trevor and Prince immediately.
[knock on door]
(Steve)
'Come in.'
- Any problems?
- None at all.
My credentials worked perfectly.
You are serving tea
which I did not order
to the honorable Steven Ludwig
President of the American
Malakar Cultural Association.
I can see that male chauvinism
is still alive and well.
You are the honorable
Steven Ludwig
while I am the honorable
new domestic
hired to serve
at the reception tomorrow.
[laughs]
That's the breaks.
The tea isn't for you.
It's for Count Diaz.
Who's he?
Some distant cousin
of the late king.
- Kitchen talk.
- I'll get it.
Did they say anything else
about him in the kitchen?
- Not much more.
- Oh, uh, watch the butler.
I'm worried about the way
he's watching me.
[chuckles]
By the way, the local IADC
put a tail on Robley
when they got Atkinson's cable.
- Mm-hmm.
- They lost him.
- Well, he'll turn up.
- Just a second.
- All clear.
- Thank you, Mr. Ludwig.
[chuckles]
[knock on door]
Entree.
Your tea, Count..
...Diaz.
- You cannot be a maid.
- Oh.
You must be a princess.
No one as lovely as you
should be serving tea.
Oh, it's my privilege, sir.
Will that be all?
Certainly not.
I intend to order everything
in Cousin Kathryn's
royal kitchen.
Is there a name to go along
with such a pretty face?
Yes, sir. Diana.
Ah, Diana, the goddess of hunt.
'Are you a huntress
like your namesake?'
Because if you are,
I'm your willing prey.
I really must return
to my duties, Count Diaz.
And if I request that your duty
is to join me for tea?
Well, I would be flattered
and fired, in that order.
Then I would throw myself
at my cousin's feet
and I would beg her
to rehire you.
Count Diaz, I trust
your rooms are comfortable?
My accommodations
have brightened considerably.
Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.
What may I do for you?
Queen Kathryn has granted your
request for a private audience.
- 'Before tea?'
- 'Immediately.'
How thoughtful.
I'm afraid, lovely Diana
you'll have to take this
back to the kitchen.
- Oh, yes, sir.
- But keep it warm.
- I'll be in touch.
- Ahem.
Wonderful country, America.
Its servants are more beautiful
than some of my royal cousins.
[dramatic music]
Suppose we stop playing games,
Count Diaz.
You can start
by telling me who you are.
Why, Kathryn, I'm your
dear departed husband's
second cousin, once removed.
In that case,
you may remove yourself
because there is no such person.
'I had to tell
the ambassador something'
to acquire an invitation.
In actual fact, Your Majesty,
I am Agent Clark Scott
'Inter-Agency Defense Command.'
[sighs]
I'd begun to wonder
if my homeland had forsaken me.
Far from it, Your Majesty.
The orders to protect you come
from very rarefied territory.
[sighs]
I'm so surrounded
with enemies in Malakar
it's, it's hard to believe
I could have a friend.
Oh, but you have,
and not just in the top drawer.
'I pulled every string I could
to obtain this assignment.'
'It's an honor to serve you,
Your Majesty.'
How gallant.
- Thank you, Mr. Scott.
- Ah.
Count Diaz, your cousin?
Oh, of course, once removed.
- Won't you sit down?
- Well, thank you.
Now to get back to business.
'The United States
is quite concerned'
about the safety
of the royal jewels.
May I ask why you brought them
on such a risky journey?
[sighs]
Ambassador Orrick insisted
'that it would be the best
possible way to silence'
my many critics in Malakar.
You see, they believe that I'm
nothing but a fortune hunter.
But if I can bring
the crown jewels here
to my native country and then
return them safely to Malakar
my critics
will be out of ammunition.
(Scott)
'I find this advice
questionable.'
But now that the jewels are here
we must do our best
to protect them.
Well, I've, uh, taken a few
precautionary measures
of my own.
(Scott)
'The consulate's security system
is excellent.'
I understand that the vault here
is near impregnable.
I agree, but that would be
the first place
that a thief would look
for the jewels.
T-they're not in the vault?
The crown
and the diamond necklace
are in a hidden safe.
[scoffs]
Then may I suggest, Your Majesty
it remain your secret.
Thank you.
Then I need only trust myself.
An excellent idea.
Now I need only protect you.
I've long believed, you know
that the most valuable jewel
of Malakar..
...was her queen.
Thank you.
'You've made me feel
very welcome, Mr. Scott.'
Uh, won't you join me
for a refreshment?
- Perhaps some tea?
- Well, thank you.
Uh, allow me.
This is Count Diaz.
Would you tell my maid Diana
that she can serve my tea
in here?
'Yes, immediately. Thank you.'
You said you feel threatened
by some of your countrymen.
Have you checked your chambers
for listening devices?
- You mean bugs?
- Yes, bugs.
Let's begin by looking at the
more obvious places, shall we?
Electronic surveillance has
become a fine art, Your Majesty
to the point
where it is now possible
to conceal
a transistorized transmitter
in the olive of a dry martini.
These tiny objects,
no larger than a dime
can be placed anywhere.
Behind curtains.
The telephone, bookcases.
Literally anywhere.
One cannot be too careful,
Your Majesty.
[knock on door]
Our tea. I'll just make sure.
Ah, Diana, I knew,
by asking for you
we'd receive amazing service.
Uh, thank you, my dear,
you've been such a help.
- Uh, you may go.
- Oh.
[knock on door]
(Steve)
'Come in.'
Steve, you're not going
to believe this.
What?
I left with tea for Count Diaz,
right?
Right.
I served it to Evan Robley
in the queen's chambers.
Phew.
He certainly doesn't lack nerve.
Or charm. Kathryn's eating
out of his hand.
What's he doing with the queen
when the subterranean vault
is here under the consulate?
Is it possible the jewels
are not in the vault?
Well, anything's possible
with Evan Robley.
Yeah.
We'd better get rid of him.
Easier said.
Do you think we should warn her?
I don't know,
from what you've told me
she just might blow our cover.
Well, what should we do?
Uh, Joe arranged for a warrant.
If we can get him
off the consulate grounds
we can legally take him
into custody.
He's a very clever man, Steve.
It won't be easy.
I've got a plan
that just might do it.
Meet me by the front gate
after dark.
- Can you make it?
- Question is, can you?
Don't worry about that.
Be careful, Steve.
(Steve)
Good evening.
Lose your way?
As a matter of fact,
I've found it, Mr. Robley.
You seem to have the social
advantage of knowing my name.
Am I committing
some unforgivable faux pas
by not remembering yours?
My name isn't important,
but my business is
so I'll get right down to it.
I'd like to buy
the royal jewels of Malakar.
Unfortunately,
they're not mine to sell.
I see.
Well, before you fence them
I suggest you listen
to my offer.
Ah, this is all purely
hypothetical, of course.
But do you have
any specific numbers
or, uh, types of currency
in mind?
We're talking about
a very realistic amount
of untraceable cash
in the millions.
Hmm. How can I be certain
you'll deliver?
You come with me
and I'll show you.
Are you suggesting
I leave the grounds?
[scoffs]
Mr. Robley, the amount of money
we're talking about
cannot be carried by one man.
If you can't take the mountain
of money to Muhammad..
[scoffs]
Then Muhammad must move
to the money.
Right. It's a short drive.
Fifteen minutes?
[sighs]
I must say, it's a very
interesting proposition.
The sight of neatly stacked
treasury notes
is my favorite scenery.
[chuckles]
Shall we?
This little trip will set you up
for the rest of your life.
- Oh, I'd better call the queen.
- Why?
Well, after all,
she does have custody
of the baubles in question,
however temporary.
Oh, what was
her private extension?
Ah. Oh, I have it here
somewhere.
I'm sure I.. Ah.
[coughing]
[groans]
(Evan)
'Sorry, old boy.'
Nice try.
Now let's see if we can find out
who you really are, hmm?
[sighs]
[knock on door]
[dramatic music]
Count Diaz?
Steve.
[sighs]
[banging]
Oh, Steve.
Diana, get out fast.
- Wh.. Let me untie you.
- No, no, no. There's no time.
Robley sent
for the security guards.
If they find you here,
we're both out of action.
Well, I can't leave you here,
Steve.
You've got to.
He knows who I am.
- He found the warrant.
- Oh.
You're the only one
who can stop him now.
Now put this gag back in
and get out of here.
- But..
- Come on, do it.
[grunts]
[footsteps approaching]
Oh.
Let's put him
in a basement cell.
Fortunately, Your Majesty,
Mr. Scott here discovered
that Mr. Ludwig
was not the president
of the American Malakar Cultural
Association as he claimed
but a rather infamous
jewel thief, Evan Robley.
I, we are greatly indebted
to you, Mr. Scott.
There are times when duty
becomes a pleasure,
Your Majesty.
(Orrick)
'We'll hold him in our basement
detention cell'
until after you've left
the country, Your Majesty.
The publicity might prove
most unfavorable.
'I don't believe
we need have any further fear'
'for the jewels.'
Not as long as Mr. Scott
has my interests at heart.
Now, please, Your Majesty,
you really must get some rest.
- 'You've a big day tomorrow.'
- Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.
And thanks to you, Mr. Scott,
my rest will be untroubled.
Goodnight, Your Majesty.
- Goodnight, Your Majesty.
- Goodnight.
I hope that's the last time
I bow to that American upstart.
Providing, of course,
that you're as good as they say.
With that undercover agent
out of the way
the robbery
will be child's play.
My friends and I are paying you
too much for mere child's play.
If you wanna quibble
about price, let's forget it.
No, no.
No, steal the jewels now.
It'll be worth your fee
just to see Kathryn's disgrace.
When she appears
at tomorrow's reception
and I start the rumor
that her jewels are missing
Queen Kathryn of Malakar will
again be common Kate of Boston.
Please, spare the details.
I find politics a bore.
The queen's order.
Please open the door.
If she complains the food's cold
should I tell her
who's to blame?
Thank you.
- What is it?
- Late supper, Your Majesty.
At this time of night?
I ordered no supper.
Oh, what do you want?
I had to see you, Your Majesty.
You're being tricked.
The royal jewels are in great
danger and so are you.
And how does a maid
acquire this information?
I'm not a maid.
My name is Diana Prince
and I work with the IADC.
You're working with Agent Scott?
[scoffs]
He's not an agent.
He's a jewel thief.
Evan Robley.
But Robley's been captured.
That wasn't Robley. That was
Steve Trevor. We're both agents.
We were sent to protect you
and to stop the real Evan Robley
from stealing the royal jewels.
Agent Scott's credentials
were thoroughly checked
by my ambassador.
- You're obviously lying.
- No.
Your Majesty,
I'm telling the truth.
You've got to believe me.
Call this number.
It's in Washington.
They'll verify everything
I've told you.
Excuse me for disturbing you
so late, Your Majesty.
Telegram from Washington.
Eyes only.
This is not your handwriting,
my queen.
Someone wishes you
to spend your time
chatting with a White House
telephone operator?
In the middle of the night?
[sighs]
This maid, she's been telling me
the most incredible story
about Agent Scott.
She claims he's an impostor.
Guard!
Your Majesty,
you've got to believe me--
She's an accomplice
of that jewel thief we captured.
Place this woman under arrest!
[dramatic music]
After her!
Follow me.
Gentlemen.
[dramatic music]
[iron bars creaking]
[sighs]
You're in no danger.
- Wonder Woman?
- Yes.
[sighs]
I must,
I must still be asleep.
I, I thought you were a dream,
a legend.
I'm real. I'm as real as you.
If you want physical proof,
I suggest
that you examine your window.
Let me help.
- Well.
- Your Majesty.
Thank you.
- You did that?
- Yes.
[creaking]
Oh, even seeing it
with my own eyes
I can't believe it.
- So you're not a fable.
- No.
Well, tell me, why did you come?
Because there's no one else
that can help you.
Before tonight,
I would have believed you.
[sighs]
Since my husband died
I've been alone
among many enemies.
But now I have help
from my native government
Agent Scott of the IADC.
Your Highness, I'm afraid
that you've been badly deceived.
You see, the man
that you think is Agent Scott
is really Evan Robley.
You see, he tricked you
into giving away your secret
about the jewels and he tricked
you into imprisoning
the real American agent
sent to protect you.
Some maid told me more or less
the same thing earlier
but I refused to listen.
Oh, that poor man.
We must release him.
We can't now.
You see, if-if we do,
they'll know someone else
on the inside of the consulate
is on your side.
You'd really be in danger then.
Now Steve Trevor is safe
where he is.
He's an agent and he'll
understand what we're doing.
Robley seemed..
...such a pleasing man.
Your Highness, I think that
he was just taking advantage
of your vulnerability.
But what we have to do now
is protect your jewels.
How?
Robley knows
where you've hidden them.
How can he? I've told no one.
You didn't have to.
When he came to see you earlier
as Count Diaz
he watched you very closely.
[sighs]
In your distress,
you gave away their location
without even knowing it.
Men like that,
they train themselves
to notice every indication.
They're hidden in the safe
behind the coat of arms
in your sitting room.
How did you know that?
Oh, I thought
I'd been so clever.
There are no clever victims.
But don't worry about that now.
I'll keep them safe for you.
[sighs]
I'm glad you are on my side.
Me too.
Let's go and get your jewels.
[dramatic music]
They're gone. Stolen.
We're too late.
My enemies have won.
[sighs]
One battle doesn't win a war.
I must remember to put up a sign
please knock before trespassing.
Well, uh, what do I do?
Um, salute?
Do thieves salute?
[sighs]
If there's something worse
than a trespasser
it must certainly
be a name-caller.
To liberty and to beauty.
Now how about some champagne?
Then you can toast me.
How long have you been
in this room, Robley?
Mm, about 32 hours.
I checked in yesterday
at 2:30 a.m., Paris time.
I'm only interested in tonight.
Am I suspected of something?
Yes, of stealing
the queen's jewels.
I really don't have to answer
such a discourteous insinuation.
Will you excuse me?
I did not steal
the royal jewels.
- Are you playing games with me?
- Games?
[swoosh]
Repeat that, please, if you can.
I did not steal
the royal jewels.
My apologies, Mr. Robley.
[scoffs]
It's quite alright.
As a matter of fact,
you're, uh
you're welcome
to search my rooms.
Maybe I didn't ask you
the right question.
Mm,
it's a distinct possibility.
Must I?
I hate the idea of being forced
into doing anything.
It's my criminal nature,
I suppose.
May I have some more champagne?
- Please?
- Please?
[sighs]
I should have asked you if you
knew where they were hidden.
And I would have told you
they were most probably
in the consulate security room.
Go on.
Well, as you undoubtedly know
stealing is the only work
I'm trained to do.
And may I say that none of my
other professional endeavors
have introduced me
to such a charming investigator.
[clears throat]
Well, what a pity
it was all for nothing.
You call these nothing?
A slight exaggeration,
I suppose.
Actually, they're worth,
in these inflationary times
about, uh, $83.
I asked you if you'd stolen
the royal jewels.
You're telling me
these are fakes?
Or phonies, if you prefer.
Cheap imitations.
- Well, why did you bother?
- I was tricked and so were you.
Hmm.
It's Queen Kathryn
who's been tricked.
She's the one
who's gonna suffer.
Whoever stole the real jewels
has stolen her throne as well.
- She'll be forced to abdicate.
- Really?
Yes, but she won't give up
without a fight.
They don't call her
the Wild Shamrock for nothing.
Robley, we have to devise a plan
to get those jewels back
before the reception.
- Do you know where they are?
- I'm not sure.
The real jewels were stolen
long before I stole the fakes.
Who do you suspect?
I think I can prove who took
them on two conditions.
First, you must
keep yourself hidden
for about five minutes,
and, um..
Second?
A bothersome detail, actually.
Amnesty.
- Amnesty?
- Mm-hmm.
Why should you be given amnesty?
Because if I'm not,
I'll only have to escape.
And frankly,
I'm growing very weary
of wearing disguise
after ridiculous disguise.
Alright, I do have
a few friends at the IADC.
I might be able
to arrange it for you.
I'm sure you can.
And meanwhile,
to show my good faith
I'll just invite
my suspect in here.
[knock on door]
What's the meaning of this,
Robley?
'You're supposed to be
on your way to the airport.'
I ran into a slight problem,
Mr. Ambassador.
The jewels that you hired me
to steal are fakes.
[laughs]
Well, what does it matter?
You weren't stealing
on a commission basis.
(Evan)
'Somehow, I, uh,
I feel shortchanged.'
And I imagine
your co-conspirators
will feel the same way
if they knew
you had appropriated
the jewels for yourself.
Then I would suggest
that you don't inform them.
You did your job and you were
generously paid for it.
'I suggest you forget the rest.'
That is,
if you value your life.
Uh, well, of course,
uh, Mr. Ambassador
if you put it that way,
I'm sorry I asked.
Good. I'd hate to see you,
uh, neutralized, Mr. Robley.
We may find other occasions
to do business together.
Hopefully.
I imagine you're keeping
the jewels in the security room?
I thought your dangerous attack
of curiosity had been cured.
Oh, a momentary relapse.
My apologies.
It's none of my concern.
Now you're getting the picture.
Goodbye, Mr. Robley.
Look after your health.
How very thoughtful. Thank you.
An immediate change of climate
is a prescription
that should do wonders
for your longevity.
Color me vanished.
Mr. Robley,
you make an excellent detective.
Please, there's no need
to be cruel.
At least I know who's behind
this and I thank you.
You're welcome.
He undoubtedly has the jewels
in the security room.
It's the only logical place.
He wouldn't risk moving them
from the consulate.
And the security room
provides maximum protection.
Maximum is an understatement.
That vault makes Fort Knox
look like a piggy bank.
The entire floor
is an electronic alarm
and the slightest pressure on it
will fill the room
with deadly gas.
Well, then, how could you
have possibly expected
to get in there
in the first place?
- Did you have a plan or--
- Of course, I have a plan.
Good.
Then I'll help you carry it off.
Better still,
we release Steve Trevor
and there will be three of us.
All for one and all that.
"The Three Musketeers."
Well, let me tell you,
my fellow musketeer
there's a slight detail.
The floor of the vault
could blow all three of us
'to kingdom come.'
See for yourself. They're gone.
I'm devastated, Your Majesty.
How may I help?
There's nothing you can do now.
Soon, the world
will, will witness my shame.
If only there were some way
to spare you this ordeal.
Perhaps if I announced
your abdication?
I have more courage
than you think, ambassador.
I'm not a blue blood
in the purest sense.
True, my grandfather came
to this country in steerage.
He left my mother in London.
And my father
always had to work hard.
He began life with what is known
as an Irish teaspoon.
A shovel.
But since I never expected
to have a throne
the thought of abdication is..
...less of a trauma
than you might think.
Aye, Your Majesty--
I don't necessarily
mean you, ambassador.
I merely meant to point out that
though I haven't
experienced poverty personally
it is certainly
no stranger to me.
I don't fear it for myself.
I do, however, fear it
for my people.
The Americans, Your Majesty?
My people are the Malakans.
Yes, of course.
Please, if you leave me now.
I must think what my husband
would have wanted me to do.
Resigning now
would save you much grief.
Of course, we both know
that you are innocent
but the facts do appear
otherwise.
Why torture yourself?
And why torture
those of us who..
...who love and admire you?
Thank you.
Ambassador Orrick?
I realize my enemies would stop
at nothing to dethrone me.
But when they get my head
they will be getting
the head of a queen.
Well, musketeers, this is it.
Now one of us
has to stand guard.
And needless to say,
an interruption could be fatal.
No problem. You know the area.
She's got the power.
- I'll cover for you.
- Thanks, Steve.
[dramatic music]
Well, you say that the slightest
pressure on this floor
would release a lethal gas?
If we drop a hair on this floor
it will kill us both
in half a second.
Then this trip
will have to be by air.
[thud]
Tie this off
and hold onto it tight.
Right.
Now, now lower me.
No, wait, stop! Not that much.
Oh, sorry.
Don't be sorry. Just pull.
Slowly.
Okay. Stop. That's enough.
'Now tie it off.'
- I know the combination.
- So do I.
Okay, I'm going to throw it
to you. Catch.
[sighs]
(Orrick)
Over there.
What sort of circus performance
is this?
'You should have left
when you could, Robley.'
I warned you
about your curiosity.
You're not the only one
who knew the area, Robley.
Orrick knew it too.
Get down there, Robley.
Oh, come now, Mr. Ambassador.
I'm sure you don't want my messy
footprints on your shiny floor.
You wanted to see the safe,
Robley.
There it is. Down!
Mr. Trevor,
you can join the act too.
[clank]
[dramatic music]
[sighs]
Was I right about the jewels?
Yes, you were.
[sighs]
You know,
if you play your cards right
I think you can talk me
into a permanent partnership.
[chuckles]
Right, Robley.
[sighs]
Oh, where did you..
- How did you--
- Not now.
No one is more deserving
of this
than you, Your Majesty.
This is a very private
coronation.
Each one of you in your own way
is responsible for it.
And my apologies to you,
Mr. Trevor.
[chuckles]
It comes with the territory,
Your Majesty.
I must tell you,
it was long my husband's dream
that our two countries
be united in friendship.
You've helped
make that dream come true.
Thank you.
Come on, Steve.
Get me out of this.
No, no, we'll blow our cover.
My favorite maid. Diana.
- I thought you'd forsaken me.
- Mnh-mnh.
I think
I'll have some champagne--
Since you'll no longer be
working as a thief, Count Diaz
why not try your hand
as a waiter?
Diana is an agent for the IADC.
[chuckles]
[applause]
[indistinct chatter]
(Evan)
'Your Majesty.'
How did you get in here?
They've been asking
that question
ever since I can remember.
I feel neglected, Your Majesty.
I needed some way
to attract your royal attention.
I should have thought anonymity
was part of your stock-in-trade,
Mr. Robley.
The unfortunate truth is,
I no longer have a trade.
Frankly, I hold you responsible.
Must I drink alone,
Your Majesty?
I hope you won't feel neglected
if I don't offer you
a knighthood, Mr. Robley.
A simple, uh, thank you
would do nicely, Your Majesty.
Exactly what am I supposed
to be grateful to you for?
There's Gregory Orrick
whose downfall
I most certainly hastened.
Well, Wonder Woman and the IADC
had something to do with that,
you know.
Of course, but would they have
appeared at all
if I had not provided
the impetus?
[laughs]
Your logic amazes me.
Then consider this.
Where are they now
when you're in real danger?
Danger?
Of being kissed.
Oh.
I'd rather give you
a knighthood, Mr. Robley.
Oh, that's what you say now
but as we become
better acquainted
you may change your mind.
Will that be all, Mr. Robley?
Don't you mean Sir Evan?
[chuckles]
You truly are everything
they say about you.
And willing to be more.
I could use an ambassador.
[applause on TV]
Wonder Woman
would have loved this.
[chuckles]
Oh, Steve, she's..
...she's probably
seen it all before
with the original cast.

Diana's on her way.
[instrumental music]
How did you get here so fast?
Oh, there's not much traffic
at 6:00 a.m. in the morning.
Why has every crisis
since World War II
happened right in the middle
of my beauty sleep?
You're not getting
too old for this, are you, Joe?
I was too old for this before
either one of you were born.
(man on TV)
'Thank you all
for responding so promptly.'
'This secret tape
was made yesterday at Miami.'
'An hour ago, IB Analysis
identified this man'
'as Evan Robley.'
It's Robley, alright, sir.
I remember him from the time
he stole the nuclear plans
from the French Navy.
Evan Robley has stolen
just about everything
from everybody.
If there were a thieves'
hall of fame
Evan Robley would be
a charter member.
- Mm.
- 'Well said, Steve.'
'This tape was sent by Interpol'
'after Robley robbed
the Bangkok Mint.'
'You can see it shows him
enjoying his ill-gotten gains'
'apparently free of any fear
of apprehension.'
'I'd like you
to study his disguise.'
'As far as I'm concerned,
he is the grand master'
'not only of disguises'
'but international thieves
as well.'
'And this was the ID he used to
steal the rocket fuel formula'
'from the top secret
Turkish Air Base.'
We got him that time, sir.
[chuckles]
Yeah, for about ten minutes.
He escaped on the way to jail.
(man on TV)
'Well, he's in Palm Beach now'
'the millionaires' sandbox.'
'And I want you to know,
he plays up to it.'
'But I want to know
exactly what he's up to.'
'Thank you, and good morning.'
'A good early morning.'
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Do you think Robley's after
something here in Washington?
Then why would he go to Florida?
I've got an idea. Come on.
[door buzzes]
Well, all of my mornings
spent poring over newspapers
has finally paid off.
Queen Kathryn of Malakar
just happens to be
in Palm Beach, Florida,
at this very moment.
[Steve scoffs]
Brilliant deduction,
my dear Watson.
Thank you, Holmes.
Would one of you mind telling me
what's going on here?
Uh, Queen Kathryn is, uh,
this generation's Cinderella.
She met the Prince of Malakar
on a Mediterranean cruise.
They fell in love
and were married.
Last year, her husband died
and she became queen.
Not bad for little old
Kathy O'Reilly
from Boston, Massachusetts.
Of course. Now I remember,
but who doesn't?
But what has this
got to do with Evan Robley?
Well, she brought with her what
amounts to the Malakar heritage
a priceless diamond
crown and necklace.
[whistles]
- 'Then she'll need protection.'
- 'Mm-hmm.'
Now wait a minute.
She's staying
at the Malakar consulate.
We have absolutely no
jurisdiction there whatsoever.
Well, then, we'll have to go
undercover.
Well, once inside, you'll be
strictly on your own.
Of course.
This is the Malakar ambassador
to the US
greeting her, isn't it?
Yes, it's the same
Gregory Orrick
that was so critical of Kathryn
when she took the throne.
You can't blame the man
for being chauvinistic
about his country, Diana.
Kathleen O'Reilly
was a bit of a wild shamrock.
I would label this whole thing
handle with care.
And dispatch.
- Shall we, Steve?
- Indeed we shall.
I'll make the reservations.
You two get packed.
- We stay packed, Joe.
- Mm-hm.
How's the weather in Palm Beach?
About the same
as it is in Malakar.
- Only more so.
- Mm-hmm. Good trip.
So long, Joe.
Ready Jet Star Number 2 for
Trevor and Prince immediately.
[knock on door]
(Steve)
'Come in.'
- Any problems?
- None at all.
My credentials worked perfectly.
You are serving tea
which I did not order
to the honorable Steven Ludwig
President of the American
Malakar Cultural Association.
I can see that male chauvinism
is still alive and well.
You are the honorable
Steven Ludwig
while I am the honorable
new domestic
hired to serve
at the reception tomorrow.
[laughs]
That's the breaks.
The tea isn't for you.
It's for Count Diaz.
Who's he?
Some distant cousin
of the late king.
- Kitchen talk.
- I'll get it.
Did they say anything else
about him in the kitchen?
- Not much more.
- Oh, uh, watch the butler.
I'm worried about the way
he's watching me.
[chuckles]
By the way, the local IADC
put a tail on Robley
when they got Atkinson's cable.
- Mm-hmm.
- They lost him.
- Well, he'll turn up.
- Just a second.
- All clear.
- Thank you, Mr. Ludwig.
[chuckles]
[knock on door]
Entree.
Your tea, Count..
...Diaz.
- You cannot be a maid.
- Oh.
You must be a princess.
No one as lovely as you
should be serving tea.
Oh, it's my privilege, sir.
Will that be all?
Certainly not.
I intend to order everything
in Cousin Kathryn's
royal kitchen.
Is there a name to go along
with such a pretty face?
Yes, sir. Diana.
Ah, Diana, the goddess of hunt.
'Are you a huntress
like your namesake?'
Because if you are,
I'm your willing prey.
I really must return
to my duties, Count Diaz.
And if I request that your duty
is to join me for tea?
Well, I would be flattered
and fired, in that order.
Then I would throw myself
at my cousin's feet
and I would beg her
to rehire you.
Count Diaz, I trust
your rooms are comfortable?
My accommodations
have brightened considerably.
Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.
What may I do for you?
Queen Kathryn has granted your
request for a private audience.
- 'Before tea?'
- 'Immediately.'
How thoughtful.
I'm afraid, lovely Diana
you'll have to take this
back to the kitchen.
- Oh, yes, sir.
- But keep it warm.
- I'll be in touch.
- Ahem.
Wonderful country, America.
Its servants are more beautiful
than some of my royal cousins.
[dramatic music]
Suppose we stop playing games,
Count Diaz.
You can start
by telling me who you are.
Why, Kathryn, I'm your
dear departed husband's
second cousin, once removed.
In that case,
you may remove yourself
because there is no such person.
'I had to tell
the ambassador something'
to acquire an invitation.
In actual fact, Your Majesty,
I am Agent Clark Scott
'Inter-Agency Defense Command.'
[sighs]
I'd begun to wonder
if my homeland had forsaken me.
Far from it, Your Majesty.
The orders to protect you come
from very rarefied territory.
[sighs]
I'm so surrounded
with enemies in Malakar
it's, it's hard to believe
I could have a friend.
Oh, but you have,
and not just in the top drawer.
'I pulled every string I could
to obtain this assignment.'
'It's an honor to serve you,
Your Majesty.'
How gallant.
- Thank you, Mr. Scott.
- Ah.
Count Diaz, your cousin?
Oh, of course, once removed.
- Won't you sit down?
- Well, thank you.
Now to get back to business.
'The United States
is quite concerned'
about the safety
of the royal jewels.
May I ask why you brought them
on such a risky journey?
[sighs]
Ambassador Orrick insisted
'that it would be the best
possible way to silence'
my many critics in Malakar.
You see, they believe that I'm
nothing but a fortune hunter.
But if I can bring
the crown jewels here
to my native country and then
return them safely to Malakar
my critics
will be out of ammunition.
(Scott)
'I find this advice
questionable.'
But now that the jewels are here
we must do our best
to protect them.
Well, I've, uh, taken a few
precautionary measures
of my own.
(Scott)
'The consulate's security system
is excellent.'
I understand that the vault here
is near impregnable.
I agree, but that would be
the first place
that a thief would look
for the jewels.
T-they're not in the vault?
The crown
and the diamond necklace
are in a hidden safe.
[scoffs]
Then may I suggest, Your Majesty
it remain your secret.
Thank you.
Then I need only trust myself.
An excellent idea.
Now I need only protect you.
I've long believed, you know
that the most valuable jewel
of Malakar..
...was her queen.
Thank you.
'You've made me feel
very welcome, Mr. Scott.'
Uh, won't you join me
for a refreshment?
- Perhaps some tea?
- Well, thank you.
Uh, allow me.
This is Count Diaz.
Would you tell my maid Diana
that she can serve my tea
in here?
'Yes, immediately. Thank you.'
You said you feel threatened
by some of your countrymen.
Have you checked your chambers
for listening devices?
- You mean bugs?
- Yes, bugs.
Let's begin by looking at the
more obvious places, shall we?
Electronic surveillance has
become a fine art, Your Majesty
to the point
where it is now possible
to conceal
a transistorized transmitter
in the olive of a dry martini.
These tiny objects,
no larger than a dime
can be placed anywhere.
Behind curtains.
The telephone, bookcases.
Literally anywhere.
One cannot be too careful,
Your Majesty.
[knock on door]
Our tea. I'll just make sure.
Ah, Diana, I knew,
by asking for you
we'd receive amazing service.
Uh, thank you, my dear,
you've been such a help.
- Uh, you may go.
- Oh.
[knock on door]
(Steve)
'Come in.'
Steve, you're not going
to believe this.
What?
I left with tea for Count Diaz,
right?
Right.
I served it to Evan Robley
in the queen's chambers.
Phew.
He certainly doesn't lack nerve.
Or charm. Kathryn's eating
out of his hand.
What's he doing with the queen
when the subterranean vault
is here under the consulate?
Is it possible the jewels
are not in the vault?
Well, anything's possible
with Evan Robley.
Yeah.
We'd better get rid of him.
Easier said.
Do you think we should warn her?
I don't know,
from what you've told me
she just might blow our cover.
Well, what should we do?
Uh, Joe arranged for a warrant.
If we can get him
off the consulate grounds
we can legally take him
into custody.
He's a very clever man, Steve.
It won't be easy.
I've got a plan
that just might do it.
Meet me by the front gate
after dark.
- Can you make it?
- Question is, can you?
Don't worry about that.
Be careful, Steve.
(Steve)
Good evening.
Lose your way?
As a matter of fact,
I've found it, Mr. Robley.
You seem to have the social
advantage of knowing my name.
Am I committing
some unforgivable faux pas
by not remembering yours?
My name isn't important,
but my business is
so I'll get right down to it.
I'd like to buy
the royal jewels of Malakar.
Unfortunately,
they're not mine to sell.
I see.
Well, before you fence them
I suggest you listen
to my offer.
Ah, this is all purely
hypothetical, of course.
But do you have
any specific numbers
or, uh, types of currency
in mind?
We're talking about
a very realistic amount
of untraceable cash
in the millions.
Hmm. How can I be certain
you'll deliver?
You come with me
and I'll show you.
Are you suggesting
I leave the grounds?
[scoffs]
Mr. Robley, the amount of money
we're talking about
cannot be carried by one man.
If you can't take the mountain
of money to Muhammad..
[scoffs]
Then Muhammad must move
to the money.
Right. It's a short drive.
Fifteen minutes?
[sighs]
I must say, it's a very
interesting proposition.
The sight of neatly stacked
treasury notes
is my favorite scenery.
[chuckles]
Shall we?
This little trip will set you up
for the rest of your life.
- Oh, I'd better call the queen.
- Why?
Well, after all,
she does have custody
of the baubles in question,
however temporary.
Oh, what was
her private extension?
Ah. Oh, I have it here
somewhere.
I'm sure I.. Ah.
[coughing]
[groans]
(Evan)
'Sorry, old boy.'
Nice try.
Now let's see if we can find out
who you really are, hmm?
[sighs]
[knock on door]
[dramatic music]
Count Diaz?
Steve.
[sighs]
[banging]
Oh, Steve.
Diana, get out fast.
- Wh.. Let me untie you.
- No, no, no. There's no time.
Robley sent
for the security guards.
If they find you here,
we're both out of action.
Well, I can't leave you here,
Steve.
You've got to.
He knows who I am.
- He found the warrant.
- Oh.
You're the only one
who can stop him now.
Now put this gag back in
and get out of here.
- But..
- Come on, do it.
[grunts]
[footsteps approaching]
Oh.
Let's put him
in a basement cell.
Fortunately, Your Majesty,
Mr. Scott here discovered
that Mr. Ludwig
was not the president
of the American Malakar Cultural
Association as he claimed
but a rather infamous
jewel thief, Evan Robley.
I, we are greatly indebted
to you, Mr. Scott.
There are times when duty
becomes a pleasure,
Your Majesty.
(Orrick)
'We'll hold him in our basement
detention cell'
until after you've left
the country, Your Majesty.
The publicity might prove
most unfavorable.
'I don't believe
we need have any further fear'
'for the jewels.'
Not as long as Mr. Scott
has my interests at heart.
Now, please, Your Majesty,
you really must get some rest.
- 'You've a big day tomorrow.'
- Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.
And thanks to you, Mr. Scott,
my rest will be untroubled.
Goodnight, Your Majesty.
- Goodnight, Your Majesty.
- Goodnight.
I hope that's the last time
I bow to that American upstart.
Providing, of course,
that you're as good as they say.
With that undercover agent
out of the way
the robbery
will be child's play.
My friends and I are paying you
too much for mere child's play.
If you wanna quibble
about price, let's forget it.
No, no.
No, steal the jewels now.
It'll be worth your fee
just to see Kathryn's disgrace.
When she appears
at tomorrow's reception
and I start the rumor
that her jewels are missing
Queen Kathryn of Malakar will
again be common Kate of Boston.
Please, spare the details.
I find politics a bore.
The queen's order.
Please open the door.
If she complains the food's cold
should I tell her
who's to blame?
Thank you.
- What is it?
- Late supper, Your Majesty.
At this time of night?
I ordered no supper.
Oh, what do you want?
I had to see you, Your Majesty.
You're being tricked.
The royal jewels are in great
danger and so are you.
And how does a maid
acquire this information?
I'm not a maid.
My name is Diana Prince
and I work with the IADC.
You're working with Agent Scott?
[scoffs]
He's not an agent.
He's a jewel thief.
Evan Robley.
But Robley's been captured.
That wasn't Robley. That was
Steve Trevor. We're both agents.
We were sent to protect you
and to stop the real Evan Robley
from stealing the royal jewels.
Agent Scott's credentials
were thoroughly checked
by my ambassador.
- You're obviously lying.
- No.
Your Majesty,
I'm telling the truth.
You've got to believe me.
Call this number.
It's in Washington.
They'll verify everything
I've told you.
Excuse me for disturbing you
so late, Your Majesty.
Telegram from Washington.
Eyes only.
This is not your handwriting,
my queen.
Someone wishes you
to spend your time
chatting with a White House
telephone operator?
In the middle of the night?
[sighs]
This maid, she's been telling me
the most incredible story
about Agent Scott.
She claims he's an impostor.
Guard!
Your Majesty,
you've got to believe me--
She's an accomplice
of that jewel thief we captured.
Place this woman under arrest!
[dramatic music]
After her!
Follow me.
Gentlemen.
[dramatic music]
[iron bars creaking]
[sighs]
You're in no danger.
- Wonder Woman?
- Yes.
[sighs]
I must,
I must still be asleep.
I, I thought you were a dream,
a legend.
I'm real. I'm as real as you.
If you want physical proof,
I suggest
that you examine your window.
Let me help.
- Well.
- Your Majesty.
Thank you.
- You did that?
- Yes.
[creaking]
Oh, even seeing it
with my own eyes
I can't believe it.
- So you're not a fable.
- No.
Well, tell me, why did you come?
Because there's no one else
that can help you.
Before tonight,
I would have believed you.
[sighs]
Since my husband died
I've been alone
among many enemies.
But now I have help
from my native government
Agent Scott of the IADC.
Your Highness, I'm afraid
that you've been badly deceived.
You see, the man
that you think is Agent Scott
is really Evan Robley.
You see, he tricked you
into giving away your secret
about the jewels and he tricked
you into imprisoning
the real American agent
sent to protect you.
Some maid told me more or less
the same thing earlier
but I refused to listen.
Oh, that poor man.
We must release him.
We can't now.
You see, if-if we do,
they'll know someone else
on the inside of the consulate
is on your side.
You'd really be in danger then.
Now Steve Trevor is safe
where he is.
He's an agent and he'll
understand what we're doing.
Robley seemed..
...such a pleasing man.
Your Highness, I think that
he was just taking advantage
of your vulnerability.
But what we have to do now
is protect your jewels.
How?
Robley knows
where you've hidden them.
How can he? I've told no one.
You didn't have to.
When he came to see you earlier
as Count Diaz
he watched you very closely.
[sighs]
In your distress,
you gave away their location
without even knowing it.
Men like that,
they train themselves
to notice every indication.
They're hidden in the safe
behind the coat of arms
in your sitting room.
How did you know that?
Oh, I thought
I'd been so clever.
There are no clever victims.
But don't worry about that now.
I'll keep them safe for you.
[sighs]
I'm glad you are on my side.
Me too.
Let's go and get your jewels.
[dramatic music]
They're gone. Stolen.
We're too late.
My enemies have won.
[sighs]
One battle doesn't win a war.
I must remember to put up a sign
please knock before trespassing.
Well, uh, what do I do?
Um, salute?
Do thieves salute?
[sighs]
If there's something worse
than a trespasser
it must certainly
be a name-caller.
To liberty and to beauty.
Now how about some champagne?
Then you can toast me.
How long have you been
in this room, Robley?
Mm, about 32 hours.
I checked in yesterday
at 2:30 a.m., Paris time.
I'm only interested in tonight.
Am I suspected of something?
Yes, of stealing
the queen's jewels.
I really don't have to answer
such a discourteous insinuation.
Will you excuse me?
I did not steal
the royal jewels.
- Are you playing games with me?
- Games?
[swoosh]
Repeat that, please, if you can.
I did not steal
the royal jewels.
My apologies, Mr. Robley.
[scoffs]
It's quite alright.
As a matter of fact,
you're, uh
you're welcome
to search my rooms.
Maybe I didn't ask you
the right question.
Mm,
it's a distinct possibility.
Must I?
I hate the idea of being forced
into doing anything.
It's my criminal nature,
I suppose.
May I have some more champagne?
- Please?
- Please?
[sighs]
I should have asked you if you
knew where they were hidden.
And I would have told you
they were most probably
in the consulate security room.
Go on.
Well, as you undoubtedly know
stealing is the only work
I'm trained to do.
And may I say that none of my
other professional endeavors
have introduced me
to such a charming investigator.
[clears throat]
Well, what a pity
it was all for nothing.
You call these nothing?
A slight exaggeration,
I suppose.
Actually, they're worth,
in these inflationary times
about, uh, $83.
I asked you if you'd stolen
the royal jewels.
You're telling me
these are fakes?
Or phonies, if you prefer.
Cheap imitations.
- Well, why did you bother?
- I was tricked and so were you.
Hmm.
It's Queen Kathryn
who's been tricked.
She's the one
who's gonna suffer.
Whoever stole the real jewels
has stolen her throne as well.
- She'll be forced to abdicate.
- Really?
Yes, but she won't give up
without a fight.
They don't call her
the Wild Shamrock for nothing.
Robley, we have to devise a plan
to get those jewels back
before the reception.
- Do you know where they are?
- I'm not sure.
The real jewels were stolen
long before I stole the fakes.
Who do you suspect?
I think I can prove who took
them on two conditions.
First, you must
keep yourself hidden
for about five minutes,
and, um..
Second?
A bothersome detail, actually.
Amnesty.
- Amnesty?
- Mm-hmm.
Why should you be given amnesty?
Because if I'm not,
I'll only have to escape.
And frankly,
I'm growing very weary
of wearing disguise
after ridiculous disguise.
Alright, I do have
a few friends at the IADC.
I might be able
to arrange it for you.
I'm sure you can.
And meanwhile,
to show my good faith
I'll just invite
my suspect in here.
[knock on door]
What's the meaning of this,
Robley?
'You're supposed to be
on your way to the airport.'
I ran into a slight problem,
Mr. Ambassador.
The jewels that you hired me
to steal are fakes.
[laughs]
Well, what does it matter?
You weren't stealing
on a commission basis.
(Evan)
'Somehow, I, uh,
I feel shortchanged.'
And I imagine
your co-conspirators
will feel the same way
if they knew
you had appropriated
the jewels for yourself.
Then I would suggest
that you don't inform them.
You did your job and you were
generously paid for it.
'I suggest you forget the rest.'
That is,
if you value your life.
Uh, well, of course,
uh, Mr. Ambassador
if you put it that way,
I'm sorry I asked.
Good. I'd hate to see you,
uh, neutralized, Mr. Robley.
We may find other occasions
to do business together.
Hopefully.
I imagine you're keeping
the jewels in the security room?
I thought your dangerous attack
of curiosity had been cured.
Oh, a momentary relapse.
My apologies.
It's none of my concern.
Now you're getting the picture.
Goodbye, Mr. Robley.
Look after your health.
How very thoughtful. Thank you.
An immediate change of climate
is a prescription
that should do wonders
for your longevity.
Color me vanished.
Mr. Robley,
you make an excellent detective.
Please, there's no need
to be cruel.
At least I know who's behind
this and I thank you.
You're welcome.
He undoubtedly has the jewels
in the security room.
It's the only logical place.
He wouldn't risk moving them
from the consulate.
And the security room
provides maximum protection.
Maximum is an understatement.
That vault makes Fort Knox
look like a piggy bank.
The entire floor
is an electronic alarm
and the slightest pressure on it
will fill the room
with deadly gas.
Well, then, how could you
have possibly expected
to get in there
in the first place?
- Did you have a plan or--
- Of course, I have a plan.
Good.
Then I'll help you carry it off.
Better still,
we release Steve Trevor
and there will be three of us.
All for one and all that.
"The Three Musketeers."
Well, let me tell you,
my fellow musketeer
there's a slight detail.
The floor of the vault
could blow all three of us
'to kingdom come.'
See for yourself. They're gone.
I'm devastated, Your Majesty.
How may I help?
There's nothing you can do now.
Soon, the world
will, will witness my shame.
If only there were some way
to spare you this ordeal.
Perhaps if I announced
your abdication?
I have more courage
than you think, ambassador.
I'm not a blue blood
in the purest sense.
True, my grandfather came
to this country in steerage.
He left my mother in London.
And my father
always had to work hard.
He began life with what is known
as an Irish teaspoon.
A shovel.
But since I never expected
to have a throne
the thought of abdication is..
...less of a trauma
than you might think.
Aye, Your Majesty--
I don't necessarily
mean you, ambassador.
I merely meant to point out that
though I haven't
experienced poverty personally
it is certainly
no stranger to me.
I don't fear it for myself.
I do, however, fear it
for my people.
The Americans, Your Majesty?
My people are the Malakans.
Yes, of course.
Please, if you leave me now.
I must think what my husband
would have wanted me to do.
Resigning now
would save you much grief.
Of course, we both know
that you are innocent
but the facts do appear
otherwise.
Why torture yourself?
And why torture
those of us who..
...who love and admire you?
Thank you.
Ambassador Orrick?
I realize my enemies would stop
at nothing to dethrone me.
But when they get my head
they will be getting
the head of a queen.
Well, musketeers, this is it.
Now one of us
has to stand guard.
And needless to say,
an interruption could be fatal.
No problem. You know the area.
She's got the power.
- I'll cover for you.
- Thanks, Steve.
[dramatic music]
Well, you say that the slightest
pressure on this floor
would release a lethal gas?
If we drop a hair on this floor
it will kill us both
in half a second.
Then this trip
will have to be by air.
[thud]
Tie this off
and hold onto it tight.
Right.
Now, now lower me.
No, wait, stop! Not that much.
Oh, sorry.
Don't be sorry. Just pull.
Slowly.
Okay. Stop. That's enough.
'Now tie it off.'
- I know the combination.
- So do I.
Okay, I'm going to throw it
to you. Catch.
[sighs]
(Orrick)
Over there.
What sort of circus performance
is this?
'You should have left
when you could, Robley.'
I warned you
about your curiosity.
You're not the only one
who knew the area, Robley.
Orrick knew it too.
Get down there, Robley.
Oh, come now, Mr. Ambassador.
I'm sure you don't want my messy
footprints on your shiny floor.
You wanted to see the safe,
Robley.
There it is. Down!
Mr. Trevor,
you can join the act too.
[clank]
[dramatic music]
[sighs]
Was I right about the jewels?
Yes, you were.
[sighs]
You know,
if you play your cards right
I think you can talk me
into a permanent partnership.
[chuckles]
Right, Robley.
[sighs]
Oh, where did you..
- How did you--
- Not now.
No one is more deserving
of this
than you, Your Majesty.
This is a very private
coronation.
Each one of you in your own way
is responsible for it.
And my apologies to you,
Mr. Trevor.
[chuckles]
It comes with the territory,
Your Majesty.
I must tell you,
it was long my husband's dream
that our two countries
be united in friendship.
You've helped
make that dream come true.
Thank you.
Come on, Steve.
Get me out of this.
No, no, we'll blow our cover.
My favorite maid. Diana.
- I thought you'd forsaken me.
- Mnh-mnh.
I think
I'll have some champagne--
Since you'll no longer be
working as a thief, Count Diaz
why not try your hand
as a waiter?
Diana is an agent for the IADC.
[chuckles]
[applause]
[indistinct chatter]
(Evan)
'Your Majesty.'
How did you get in here?
They've been asking
that question
ever since I can remember.
I feel neglected, Your Majesty.
I needed some way
to attract your royal attention.
I should have thought anonymity
was part of your stock-in-trade,
Mr. Robley.
The unfortunate truth is,
I no longer have a trade.
Frankly, I hold you responsible.
Must I drink alone,
Your Majesty?
I hope you won't feel neglected
if I don't offer you
a knighthood, Mr. Robley.
A simple, uh, thank you
would do nicely, Your Majesty.
Exactly what am I supposed
to be grateful to you for?
There's Gregory Orrick
whose downfall
I most certainly hastened.
Well, Wonder Woman and the IADC
had something to do with that,
you know.
Of course, but would they have
appeared at all
if I had not provided
the impetus?
[laughs]
Your logic amazes me.
Then consider this.
Where are they now
when you're in real danger?
Danger?
Of being kissed.
Oh.
I'd rather give you
a knighthood, Mr. Robley.
Oh, that's what you say now
but as we become
better acquainted
you may change your mind.
Will that be all, Mr. Robley?
Don't you mean Sir Evan?
[chuckles]
You truly are everything
they say about you.
And willing to be more.
I could use an ambassador.
[applause on TV]
Wonder Woman
would have loved this.
[chuckles]
Oh, Steve, she's..
...she's probably
seen it all before
with the original cast.
[laughs]
