(Diana)
'Yes.'
'Oh, sure. Put him on. Line 1?'
Yes, doctor.
I beg your pardon?
Uh! No,
I don't mind coming down.
I appreciate your calling.
Fine. I'll be right there.
- Steve.
- Yeah.
I've got to run over
to the hospital.
What's happened?
Well, it seems, ten minutes ago
Wonder Woman
was brought into Emergency.
Okay.
What?
Diana.
(male #1)
'We realized almost immediately'
'that it wasn't
the real Wonder Woman.'
'But we called
the IADC anyway.'
Why?
Because of the resemblance
with the makeup
and the wig she was wearing.
She's been unconscious
since they brought her in.
Well, is she going
to be alright?
X-rays show a concussion
but she seems to be very fit.
She'll pull through
with no problem.
And you have no idea
who she is?
Actually, I was rather hoping
that you might tell us
knowing Wonder Woman's
affiliation with the IADC.
Obviously, she isn't
the real Wonder Woman, but--
But obviously she or somebody
else is taking advantage
of her resemblance.
Of course, if you don't wish
to tell me the whole story
I understand.
Secrets are the prerogative
of the IADC.
I assure you, doctor, that
we don't know who she is either.
But I think it might be
a good idea to find out.
Can I have a look at that
costume she was wearing?
Certainly.
(female #1 on PA)
'Dr. Jacob, Dr. Jacob,
please report..'
Due to the unusual nature of
this case, we had it locked up.
The clothes
from Room 408, please.
Oh, certainly, doctor.
You can get into med school
on a football scholarship?
Hardly.
Well, it seems to me
that he oughta be
wearing a football jersey
instead of a lab coat.
- Who?
- Him.
The other physician attending
to our Mary Doe.
As far as I know, I'm the only
one who's been assigned to her.
[dramatic music]
What are you doing?
[dramatic music]
[glass shatters]
- She's okay.
- Get security.
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
There's no way
to trace that syringe?
It contained a lethal mixture
of chemicals
found naturally
in the human body
and easily obtained.
All I can say is
whoever tried to kill her
knew what he was doing.
Well, maybe the costume
will give us some answers.
Remember Sergeant Cline,
no one enters
unless his or her name
is on that list.
Yes, ma'am.
(female #1)
'Dr. Jacobson to radiology,
please.'
'Dr. Hereward,
you're wanted in orthopedics.'
'Please report to orthopedics.'
'Ms. Ketchum, please report
to the main office.'
'Ms. Ketchum, report
to the main office.'
'Dr. Riley,
please call your service.'
'Dr. Riley,
please call your service.'
Yes, this is Lieutenant Smith,
19th Precinct.
I must talk to Sergeant Cline.
I believe he's on duty
there at the hospital
uh, fourth floor.
Thank you.
(female #1)
'Dr. Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert...'
Yes, he is. One moment,
please, and I'll get him.
Could even fool the real
Wonder Woman, don't you think?
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, good, a label. "McCoy
Wardrobe, Arlington, Virginia."
That shouldn't be
too hard to check out.
- Thank you very much.
- Sergeant Cline here.
I'd like to know as soon
as she comes around, also
please, let me know if and when
you find out who she is.
- There's no one on the line.
- Well, there was.
Is something wrong,
Sergeant Cline?
She said I had an urgent call
from headquarters.
- He did.
- Guess someone made a mistake.
(Diana)
Oh, no!
Nancy.
Nancy.
One move and you're dead.
Step away from there. Now!
Okay. Okay, no problem.
Alright, drop that
and kick it over here.
- They're just roses.
- Do it!
Now get up against the wall
and spread them.
Relax, sergeant.
They are roses.
Not until I find out
what's in his pockets.
Spread them.
- Okay, who are you?
- Uh, Todd Daniels.
I'm a friend of Nancy's.
Look, I figured maybe
no one was supposed to see her
but I had to,
I've been worried sick.
- That's her name? Nancy?
- Nancy Clark.
Is she gonna be alright?
She had a concussion
but she'll be fine.
- Thank goodness.
- He's clean. Come on, buddy--
Uh, wait a second, sergeant.
Let me have a minute
with him, okay?
How did you know
Nancy was here?
I heard on the news that a girl
wearing a Wonder Woman costume
was hospitalized.
So I figured it was Nancy.
Why?
'What was she doing
posing as Wonder Woman?'
(Todd)
She poses as a lot of things.
She's a model.
Wants to be an actress.
I keep telling her,
"Don't worry, you'll be one."
She's so beautiful.
Who hired her?
I don't know.
She didn't tell me.
- Did you ask?
- Yeah.
Well, I wonder why
she didn't tell you.
Okay.
She wouldn't tell me.
She wouldn't.
So she's not your girlfriend?
No, she's, uh..
She's just a girl who lives
upstairs from me, that's all.
- 'Where do you live, Todd?'
- Claremont Apartments on Third.
Just head right on back there,
fella, and you darn well better.
Hey, no, look, I'm gonna stay,
if it's all the same to you.
- It's not. You're leaving.
- Wait, sergeant. Let him stay.
If there's another
attempt on her life--
Ho.. Ho..
An attempt on her life?
- No way I'm leaving.
- Look, kid--
Let him stay.
I'll take full responsibility.
Okay. Full responsibility.
You heard her.
[sighs]
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Don't worry about her.
She'll be fine.
Just press the buzzer
for the doctor
when she comes around, okay?
Yeah, I'll do that.
- Uh, miss?
- Yes.
'What kind of trouble
is she in?'
That's what
I intend to find out.
You idiot!
First that girl goes
wanders all over creation
in that costume then you botch
the only opportunity we'll have
to get rid of her.
You're every bit as
muscle-brained as you appear.
I told her time and time again,
don't wear it in public.
What more could I do?
You could've made sure
she didn't wear it in public.
She was on her way home
from our dress rehearsal.
I mean, how was I
supposed to know
she'd try and rescue
some dumb kid?
Well, the point is, she did.
And now all
my plans are ruined.
No, hey, look, just get me
any more of those
other girls you auditioned.
I can teach her the stunts
by tomorrow night. Guaranteed.
That's the least
of my problems, you imbecile.
Thanks to your trainee and you,
the police are involved.
So, say nothing
of the real Wonder Woman
and probably the IADC.
- If that girl opens her mouth--
- She's not going to.
I warned her real good
what happens to people
with overactive vocal chords.
Yes, just as you warned her
real good
not to wear that costume
in public.
When she comes to and finds out
someone tried to kill her
she'll keep her mouth shut.
Guaranteed.
Very well, Mr. Roman.
I'm going to call in
one of our runners-up.
You will have 24 hours
to get her ready.
- No problem.
- No mistakes.
[instrumental music]
Gentlemen, gentlemen, I said
four tables up front, not five.
Five tables up front
ruins the entire floor plan.
And please, gentlemen, be
very careful with that statue.
Oh, Mr. Percy.
Oh, it's good to see you.
Thank you.
You look a bit bedraggled
especially for 2:00
in the afternoon.
Well, I just heard
from Mrs. Havenhurst.
And everybody
that she invited to this
charity dinner
tomorrow is coming.
Every last one.
That's only 30 people.
Isn't it, John?
Only 30? They're only the 30
richest people in Washington.
Maybe in the entire country.
"The Golden Thirty." Right here
in the hotel that I work for.
What a marvelous opportunity
to introduce so many
highly influential people
to Myerton hospitality.
Or sour them on it for good
in case anything goes wrong.
- Care for some coffee?
- Not for me, thank you.
- Do you mind if I do?
- Not at all. Go ahead.
Nothing is likely to go wrong,
is it, John?
Oh, no, no,
of course not.
There, you see,
you worry too much.
Now I'm sure everything
will go as planned.
In the meantime, I would like
to rehearse my models
on the stage this evening,
if that's alright.
Well, as long as I
get to watch.
I understand your models
are really quite something.
It's all in the eye
of the beholder, John.
And perhaps in a well-placed
dab of makeup or two.
Well, I,
I'll see you this evening then.
- Right, Mr. Percy.
- Thank you.
- Bye-bye.
- Goodbye.
No, no, gentlemen.
I said four tables up front.
Not three, not five.
Four.
That many.
You see?
Would you page
Mr. John Austin, please?
(female #2 on PA)
'John Austin, call on house line
three. John Austin.'
Thank you.
John Austin.
(male #2)
I sincerely hope'
'Mrs. Havenhurst's
charming husband'
'is still planning to attend'
'your hotel's bash
tomorrow night.'
Listen, you creep.
Your threats didn't
frighten me two days ago
and they don't
frighten me now.
Well, why should you be
frightened?
It isn't you I intend to murder.
[dramatic music]
(John)
'They're just crank calls,
Steve. Nothing more.'
I mean, if somebody really
wanted to kill
Ambassador Havenhurst
why would he call me
and tell me about it?
And why would he do it
at a charity event
featuring a fashion show
for Pete's sake?
Look, if you're convinced
this guy
is a crackpot,
what are you doing here?
Advice, old buddy.
I was hoping you might suggest
a way out of this mess.
You tell anybody else
at the hotel?
No way.
This shindig tomorrow night
is gotta be the biggest event
ever held at a Myerton Hotel
anyplace in the nation.
If I do anything to mess this up
there goes my whole career
with Myerton.
So, if you don't
cancel the event
and something does happen..
Not only do I lose my career
I could've somebody's death
on my conscience
for the rest of my life.
What you're saying is that
you're in no position
to take a chance
if those calls weren't for real.
Exactly.
Alright. I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.
Because it is
a government official
whose life's being threatened
I can make security
arrangements for your show.
Steve, I don't wanna
put you in a bond.
- It's-it's no problem. Really.
- Thanks.
But you know,
if word of this leaks out
the party's ruined
and I'm down the drain.
Okay, why don't I stop by
tonight, we'll take a close look
at the setup and maybe
we can come up
with some very discreet
security measures.
[intercom buzzing]
Excuse me.
Hello. Oh, yeah.
Thanks a lot. Okay?
A government agency, discreet?
Hey, there's a first time
for everything.
- I'll see you tonight.
- Okay.
- Thanks, Steve.
- You bet.
Diana?
Hi, Steve.
You got anything on Nancy Clark?
As a matter of fact, I do.
- Police record.
- You're kidding.
Well, it's nothing big, but
nothing she'd wanna brag about
to the folks back home either.
You traced that costume yet?
Just talked to the costume
shop owner.
Getting him to tell me
whom he made it for
was just like pulling teeth
but he finally gave me
a name and address.
I'm on my way there now.
Okay, but keep me posted.
I'll be very interested
to know why
a girl with a police record
was posing as Wonder Woman.
So will I.
[horns honking]
Nancy?
Nance..
Hi, kiddo.
How you doing?
Toad.
- Todd.
- I know your name.
What are you doing..
What am I doing here?
You.. You were in an accident.
'The rescue squad
brought you in.'
I can't remember.
You-you were wearing
a-a Wonder Woman costume
and trying to help some kid.
How many people know? I mean,
about what happened to me?
You made the noon report
on Channel Two.
Oh, no.
You in trouble, Nancy?
Get lost, okay?
Come on, Nancy.
Let me help you.
Eh, look, uh..
Somebody tried to kill you
right after you were brought
in this morning.
- Kill me?
- Yeah.
Percy..
...wants me dead.
Percy?
Who's Percy?
Oh, just get lost.
Come on, Nancy, tell me
what kind of trouble you're in.
I can help. I'd do anything
to help you.
You are such a jerk,
you really are.
- What, for caring about you?
- You don't even know me.
Let me tell you
something, turkey.
You know why I got
that modeling job, huh?
'You know why they hired me?'
Because you're a beautiful girl.
Because I got a record.
Check forgery and shoplifting.
And they figured
anybody desperate enough
to break the law once
wouldn't mind doing it again.
They were right.
How does that grab you?
My brother's been busted
three times for marijuana.
Just get out of here, please.
My head feels like
it's gonna burst.
I.. I'll tell the doctor.
(Nancy)
'Just leave.'
No matter what you say,
whatever mess you're in
I'm gonna help
get you out of it.
I wish you liked yourself
half as much as I like you.
Jerk.
[tires screeching]
[dramatic music]
[tires screeching]
[thunderclap]
[music continues]
[tires screeching]
Hold it!
Just how many stories
did she fall?
Marvelous. No, no, no.
Mr. Roman will contact you
and arrange for your pay.
And good day to you.
[sighs]
'Pity your colleague had to come
to such a dreadful end.'
But life goes on,
and you have work to do.
'Such as helping me steal
several million dollars''
'worth of jewels and furs'
'from the cream
of Washington society.'
- Fred Roman?
- Yeah?
I'm Diana Prince.
- Thanks, George.
- IADC.
I expected to see someone else.
What you mean, don't you,
is that I'm the last person
you expected to see.
Well, you see, I had this
little problem getting here.
Almost as if someone didn't
want me to get here at all.
[scoffs]
Look, I got things to do.
What is it you want?
Well, I got your name from
the owner of a costume shop.
That's where I was, by the way,
when I had this little problem.
The bottom line, huh?
Well, I understand
the shop made
several Wonder Woman costumes
for you.
- Mm-hm.
- Why?
I spend part of the time
teaching acrobatics.
I spend the other part
arranging for Wonder Woman
to show up at parties
and stuff.
You train girls to appear
as Wonder Woman?
I teach them the stunts,
they wear the costumes.
We all make a living.
You got some kind of
problem with that?
No.
It's just that
a girl wearing
one of those costumes
was hospitalized
this morning.
Yeah, Nancy Clark.
I heard about that.
Too bad.
What's worse is that
while she was there
somebody tried to kill her.
- Hm.
- Someone about your size.
Apparently he was afraid
of what she might say
if she regained consciousness.
[knocking on door]
That's all
very interesting but, uh
I've got a living
to make, okay?
Okay.
When I see Nancy tomorrow
I'll be sure and give her
your best.
Yeah, you do that.
Come on, let's get started.
You got a lot of work to do
come tomorrow night.
Four beats to curtain.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Very nice.
Very nice, indeed.
Now, remember those girls
are part of your lifestyle.
Think '20s.
Yes, yes, switch the gun
and sit here.
Very good.
Yes, that's nice.
Sit and straight.
Very nice, indeed.
Excuse me.
Yes, I'd like that.
Now, Leslie, you go first.
All for nothing.
Five, six, seven, eight.
[music continues]
Leslie, that's your first
position. Now, Karen, we'll..
[music stops]
- 'It's broken, sir.'
- Just relax, everybody.
While our mechanical wizard
earns his keep.
Fortunately,
dear fellow, I have
four more tapes
just like that one.
Now, you are the one
looking bedraggled.
Not at all.
You've just witnessed
the reason
why rehearsals were invented.
- Excuse me, John.
- Oh, Steve.
Uh, Mr. Percy,
Colonel Steve Trevor.
- Steve, Edgar Percy.
- How do you do?
This is the man responsible
for what's happening onstage.
Oh, really? What a delightful
responsibility.
- Indeed.
- Well, what do you think?
There's no question about it.
You need professional help.
Oh, no. What do you suggest,
a platoon at every door?
Hey! No.
What I suggest is
that you limit access
to the room to just one door.
and everybody going through it
will be screened electronically
for weapons, and allow
a few of my agents
'to circulate
during the party.'
Steve, this is
a sit-down dinner.
I can't have your men wandering
around eyeing everybody.
- Nobody will--
- Excuse me.
I take it you're discussing
how to keep undesirables
out of tomorrow night's affair.
Something like that, yes.
As you know, my models
and I have entertained
wealthy and influential people
many, many times.
Now, in several instances
security guards kept a discreet
eye on the guests
while posing as waiters.
Three agents,
in uniforms I'll provide.
You got it.
That's a good idea.
I'll have the scanner delivered
tomorrow afternoon.
Oh, and Mr. Percy, I realize
that these guns on stage
are props but we'll still
wanna check them out, okay?
Of course.
But we'll see you here tomorrow
night, won't we, colonel?
My men can handle this
without me.
Oh, no, Steve,
if you're not here
it's no go on any of this.
Alright. I'll be here.
I get to sit at the front table.
- No problem.
- Nice meeting you, Mr. Percy.
- So long.
- Thanks, Steve.
- 'The tape is ready, sir.'
- Alright. Excuse me, John.
Places everybody.
'Exactly, the same position
you had before.'
'Roll the tape, please.'
[instrumental music]
(Nancy)
I'm not hiding anything.
I was coming home
from dress-rehearsing
some stunts at the gym.
I was supposed
to play Wonder Woman
at some guy's birthday party
on Sunday.
Then why is it that somebody
tried to kill you?
- And me, for that matter.
- I don't know.
- Somebody made a mistake.
- About both of us?
Look, you're just picking on me
because I got a record.
I make a couple of mistakes
and all of a sudden
I'm open game
for anybody with a fancy ID.
'Oh, yeah, sure, badger her'
call her a liar,
she's used to it.
Well, I'm not.
I'm sorry.
After all, you're here because
you saved a child's life.
Doubt if I ever do that again.
So, you make
your living modeling, huh?
Supposed to be the best way
to get into acting.
More like the best way
to be broke all the time.
Do you have an agent?
No, what work I get comes
from going over the want ads.
I'm trying to build up
my connections.
Is that how you got the job
playing Wonder Woman?
Yeah. Caught my eye
as soon as I opened the paper.
"Big money. Opportunity
for tall, athletic fe.."
They offered you big money?
For a birthday party?
Oh, no.
I was thinking of another ad.
The Wonder Woman job,
I got that through a friend.
- Nancy.
- That was it.
Nancy, those people
who hired you
they want you to think
that just because
you made some bad decisions once
that you don't know
how to make good ones.
But that's not true.
You proved it yourself
when you saved
that little boy's life.
My head's killing me.
I can't talk anymore.
Okay.
I'll have the doctor
look in on you.
Uh, wait-wait a second, miss.
Could you tell me
where I could find Mr. Percy?
Sure, he's staying in the hotel,
but I have no idea which room.
Didn't I see you hanging around
the stage last night?
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I work
for the hotel. Night shift.
I would've talked
to Mr. Percy then
but he was always too busy.
Well, he'll be back tonight
for the show, that's for sure.
'Listen, would you excuse me,
I have to go backstage'
and try on some costumes?
Wait-wait a second now.
'Cause maybe you can help me.
Uh, I wanted to ask him
about Nancy Clark.
You know, the girl he hired
to play Wonder Woman?
Oh, that's her name, Nancy.
'What about her?'
Well, look, see,
she's my girl.
And I just wanted to know
what Percy hired her for.
- She didn't tell you?
- No.
See, she, she wanted me
to be surprised
but I-I-I'd really
rather know now.
Far be it from me
to ruin a surprise.
Just keep your eyes peeled
during the speakeasy routine.
[knocking on door]
'Come in.'
- Very nice, Mr. Percy.
- 'Thank you.'
The IADC agents
that Trevor sent over
are tied up in the store room.
- Here's their ID cards.
- Good.
Now we simply wait
for the Colonel himself to show.
Is Wonder Woman
well-rehearsed?
She'll do fine. She's waiting
for you to make her up.
Well, despite your blunder
at the hospital
and despite Diana Prince's
knack for staying alive
we'll soon be on our way
to South America
several million dollars richer.
Not a bad way
to retire, Mr. Percy.
You know, for years,
I've been famous for creating
some of the most beautiful
faces in the world.
But the only thing
I'll be famous for tomorrow
is pulling off the most
unique heist in history.
What makes it
even better, Mr. Percy
is that the people
that you'll be robbing
are the beautiful people.
Well said, dear boy.
Well said.
[dramatic music]
Well, well, well,
look at you.
And I didn't even know
you were engaged.
I'm not getting married.
- I'm going to work.
- Oh, come on.
Yeah, John Austin asked me
to get him a hand
with the party over
at the Myerton tonight.
I told you about it.
Oh, yes,
the threatening phone calls.
And the security in general.
The combined income of guests
he's gonna have there tonight
would probably rival
the national treasury.
Uh, what's new
on the Nancy Clark thing?
Well, I'm having Ira
run down the newspaper ad
that she answered
to get that Wonder Woman job.
I thought you said
you're gonna talk to her.
I did, and I'm more convinced
than ever
that she's involved in something
very big and very bad.
Well, if you need me,
I'll be at the Myerton.
Uh, wait a second.
Why is it that
you're leaving
and it's only 3:30
in the afternoon?
I've lots of arrangements
to make.
I wouldn't hurry, Steve.
I doubt if any of Percy's models
can get free until
after the show.
Why, Diana, whatever
could you be talking about?
[chuckles]
- Colonel Trevor? Bob Roberts.
- Right.
John Austin asked me
to keep an eye out for you.
Wanted me to point out
a fire exit
that might give us
a bit of a problem tonight.
- You care to take a look?
- Sure. Lead the way.
[dramatic music]
[Rover beeping]
- Hello, Rover.
- Hello, Diana.
- Got something for me, I hope?
- Sure do.
(Diana)
'Oh! Good!'
Oh, great.
Not a completely wasted
Saturday afternoon.
This has got to be
the ad she answered.
It might've even tempted me.
'Good old Ira.'
Good old Ira.
(female #4 on phone)
'Four-four-nine-two.'
Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
I completely blanked out
on who I was calling.
(female #4)
'Do you wish to leave
a message for Mr. Percy?'
Percy?
Percy, uh, yes. Edgar Percy.
(female #4)
'Yes, what is the message,
please?'
Well, never mind. Um, I'm sorry.
I'll just try later.
[beeping]
Looks like I'll be going
to that fashion show, too.
[instrumental music]
- How goes it, colonel?
- Just fine. Look.
Confiscated from
three of our guests.
I explained it was for
their own good, of course.
Of course. Unfortunately, one
can hardly argue with the IADC.
How about the guns
up on stage?
Loaded and ready.
Yes, well, uh, I think
I should go to my room.
Make myself comfortable.
See you shortly.
How about some
hors d'oeuvres, Steve?
I saved you that table
up front.
No, I'm not hungry.
Besides, I can't
do my job sitting down.
Well, you're the boss.
Are you getting a cold?
You're sounding
awfully funny.
Uh, no, it's just a,
a little sore throat.
Another reason
for keeping my distance.
- Okay. I'll talk to you later.
- Yeah.
[indistinct chatter]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Talked to Mr. Percy yet?
No, I, I thought I'd wait
till after
the speakeasy number.
Won't be long now.
That kid's
still hanging around.
The one I told you,
who was asking questions.
- Where?
- There.
Todd?
What are you doing here?
I'm trying to figure out
what kind of trouble Nancy's in
so I can get her out of it.
Listen, something really big
is gonna happen
out there tonight.
I know,
but I have no idea what.
Yeah, I can tell you
one thing.
Whatever it is,
it's not gonna be good.
I can tell you
another thing.
And it's not
gonna be pleasant.
Not for you two.
[audience applauding]
I know, you've all been
looking forward to this
so I won't waste your time
with a long introduction.
On behalf of our hostess,
Mrs. Havenhurst..
[audience applauding]
...and the Myerton Hotel..
I present, "Fashions
That Made the Twenties Roar"
featuring the Edgar Percy
models.
[audience applauding]
Hold it.
I wanna watch the show,
don't you?
[gunshots]
Cut the tape, please.
I said, cut the tape!
[indistinct chatter]
Yes, the gun is real
and it's loaded.
So are theirs.
'Please remain in your seats.'
'Don't move and don't talk.'
Just kindly turn
all your valuables
over to my friends.
[indistinct chatter]
(male #3)
'Come on, move it, move it,
move it here. Come on.'
(female #5)
'Come on, come on,
hurry, hurry.'
'Come on, keep it moving.
Keep it moving.'
(male #3)
Just drop the wallet
and let's go. Come on, come on.
'Let's hurry up.
Move it along.'
Let's have the ring.
Let's have the ring.
- The ring now.
- 'Get out those wallets.'
'Hurry up.'
- 'Let's go. Let's go, lady.'
- 'Drop it in here.'
(female #5)
'They're not gonna hurt you.
They just want your bag.'
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct clamoring]
[gunshots]
[screaming]
[indistinct chatter]
Alright, hold it.
It's all over.
'The men dressed as waiters
are my agents.'
'My men will collect the bags.
Start collecting, that's it.'
'Everybody just stay seated,
just stay calm.'
'Everything will be alright.
Everything is under control.'
Just remain calm. The rest of
you people, drop your weapons.
Now, just stay calm,
keep your seat.
Thanks to Wonder Woman,
we're all safe.
The police have been sent for.
Now, the items that have been
taken from you
will be taken down
to police headquarters.
'You'll get them back just
as soon as we've'
'photographed the evidence--'
Call the police.
Don't worry about that. Go.
(male #4)
'Everything will be returned.
As quickly as possible.'
Now, just be calm
while Wonder Woman and my men
remove these people
so they don't
bother you anymore.
[thunderclap]
'Transportation
will be provided'
'to take you down
to headquarters'
'where you can identify
your valuables.'
[indistinct clamoring]
[screaming]
Real bullets this time,
Wonder Woman.
[gunshots]
[music continues]
So that would've been
Nancy out there
playing Wonder Woman
and helping them get away
with all those valuables.
Maybe not. You know,
she might've..
- Steve. You okay?
- Hi. Oh, yeah.
Another lump on the head
to go along with my collection.
Now, look who I found
waiting in his room
unaware that his plan
had gone astray.
They should not have
gone astray.
I had everything planned,
down to the tiniest detail.
Except you forgot to take one
thing into account, Mr. Percy.
A police record doesn't make
a person all bad.
That's right, if Nancy hadn't
stopped to save that child
you wouldn't be
on your way to prison.
Which reminds me,
I've got a phone call to make.
- Thanks for everything.
- Sure.
- So do I.
- So do I.
I think I'll make
reservations for two
at the Chateau Laffite.
Uh, what's the occasion?
Well, you don't think
I'm gonna let this tuxedo
go to waste, do you?

(Diana)
'Yes.'
'Oh, sure. Put him on. Line 1?'
Yes, doctor.
I beg your pardon?
Uh! No,
I don't mind coming down.
I appreciate your calling.
Fine. I'll be right there.
- Steve.
- Yeah.
I've got to run over
to the hospital.
What's happened?
Well, it seems, ten minutes ago
Wonder Woman
was brought into Emergency.
Okay.
What?
Diana.
(male #1)
'We realized almost immediately'
'that it wasn't
the real Wonder Woman.'
'But we called
the IADC anyway.'
Why?
Because of the resemblance
with the makeup
and the wig she was wearing.
She's been unconscious
since they brought her in.
Well, is she going
to be alright?
X-rays show a concussion
but she seems to be very fit.
She'll pull through
with no problem.
And you have no idea
who she is?
Actually, I was rather hoping
that you might tell us
knowing Wonder Woman's
affiliation with the IADC.
Obviously, she isn't
the real Wonder Woman, but--
But obviously she or somebody
else is taking advantage
of her resemblance.
Of course, if you don't wish
to tell me the whole story
I understand.
Secrets are the prerogative
of the IADC.
I assure you, doctor, that
we don't know who she is either.
But I think it might be
a good idea to find out.
Can I have a look at that
costume she was wearing?
Certainly.
(female #1 on PA)
'Dr. Jacob, Dr. Jacob,
please report..'
Due to the unusual nature of
this case, we had it locked up.
The clothes
from Room 408, please.
Oh, certainly, doctor.
You can get into med school
on a football scholarship?
Hardly.
Well, it seems to me
that he oughta be
wearing a football jersey
instead of a lab coat.
- Who?
- Him.
The other physician attending
to our Mary Doe.
As far as I know, I'm the only
one who's been assigned to her.
[dramatic music]
What are you doing?
[dramatic music]
[glass shatters]
- She's okay.
- Get security.
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
There's no way
to trace that syringe?
It contained a lethal mixture
of chemicals
found naturally
in the human body
and easily obtained.
All I can say is
whoever tried to kill her
knew what he was doing.
Well, maybe the costume
will give us some answers.
Remember Sergeant Cline,
no one enters
unless his or her name
is on that list.
Yes, ma'am.
(female #1)
'Dr. Jacobson to radiology,
please.'
'Dr. Hereward,
you're wanted in orthopedics.'
'Please report to orthopedics.'
'Ms. Ketchum, please report
to the main office.'
'Ms. Ketchum, report
to the main office.'
'Dr. Riley,
please call your service.'
'Dr. Riley,
please call your service.'
Yes, this is Lieutenant Smith,
19th Precinct.
I must talk to Sergeant Cline.
I believe he's on duty
there at the hospital
uh, fourth floor.
Thank you.
(female #1)
'Dr. Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert...'
Yes, he is. One moment,
please, and I'll get him.
Could even fool the real
Wonder Woman, don't you think?
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, good, a label. "McCoy
Wardrobe, Arlington, Virginia."
That shouldn't be
too hard to check out.
- Thank you very much.
- Sergeant Cline here.
I'd like to know as soon
as she comes around, also
please, let me know if and when
you find out who she is.
- There's no one on the line.
- Well, there was.
Is something wrong,
Sergeant Cline?
She said I had an urgent call
from headquarters.
- He did.
- Guess someone made a mistake.
(Diana)
Oh, no!
Nancy.
Nancy.
One move and you're dead.
Step away from there. Now!
Okay. Okay, no problem.
Alright, drop that
and kick it over here.
- They're just roses.
- Do it!
Now get up against the wall
and spread them.
Relax, sergeant.
They are roses.
Not until I find out
what's in his pockets.
Spread them.
- Okay, who are you?
- Uh, Todd Daniels.
I'm a friend of Nancy's.
Look, I figured maybe
no one was supposed to see her
but I had to,
I've been worried sick.
- That's her name? Nancy?
- Nancy Clark.
Is she gonna be alright?
She had a concussion
but she'll be fine.
- Thank goodness.
- He's clean. Come on, buddy--
Uh, wait a second, sergeant.
Let me have a minute
with him, okay?
How did you know
Nancy was here?
I heard on the news that a girl
wearing a Wonder Woman costume
was hospitalized.
So I figured it was Nancy.
Why?
'What was she doing
posing as Wonder Woman?'
(Todd)
She poses as a lot of things.
She's a model.
Wants to be an actress.
I keep telling her,
"Don't worry, you'll be one."
She's so beautiful.
Who hired her?
I don't know.
She didn't tell me.
- Did you ask?
- Yeah.
Well, I wonder why
she didn't tell you.
Okay.
She wouldn't tell me.
She wouldn't.
So she's not your girlfriend?
No, she's, uh..
She's just a girl who lives
upstairs from me, that's all.
- 'Where do you live, Todd?'
- Claremont Apartments on Third.
Just head right on back there,
fella, and you darn well better.
Hey, no, look, I'm gonna stay,
if it's all the same to you.
- It's not. You're leaving.
- Wait, sergeant. Let him stay.
If there's another
attempt on her life--
Ho.. Ho..
An attempt on her life?
- No way I'm leaving.
- Look, kid--
Let him stay.
I'll take full responsibility.
Okay. Full responsibility.
You heard her.
[sighs]
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Don't worry about her.
She'll be fine.
Just press the buzzer
for the doctor
when she comes around, okay?
Yeah, I'll do that.
- Uh, miss?
- Yes.
'What kind of trouble
is she in?'
That's what
I intend to find out.
You idiot!
First that girl goes
wanders all over creation
in that costume then you botch
the only opportunity we'll have
to get rid of her.
You're every bit as
muscle-brained as you appear.
I told her time and time again,
don't wear it in public.
What more could I do?
You could've made sure
she didn't wear it in public.
She was on her way home
from our dress rehearsal.
I mean, how was I
supposed to know
she'd try and rescue
some dumb kid?
Well, the point is, she did.
And now all
my plans are ruined.
No, hey, look, just get me
any more of those
other girls you auditioned.
I can teach her the stunts
by tomorrow night. Guaranteed.
That's the least
of my problems, you imbecile.
Thanks to your trainee and you,
the police are involved.
So, say nothing
of the real Wonder Woman
and probably the IADC.
- If that girl opens her mouth--
- She's not going to.
I warned her real good
what happens to people
with overactive vocal chords.
Yes, just as you warned her
real good
not to wear that costume
in public.
When she comes to and finds out
someone tried to kill her
she'll keep her mouth shut.
Guaranteed.
Very well, Mr. Roman.
I'm going to call in
one of our runners-up.
You will have 24 hours
to get her ready.
- No problem.
- No mistakes.
[instrumental music]
Gentlemen, gentlemen, I said
four tables up front, not five.
Five tables up front
ruins the entire floor plan.
And please, gentlemen, be
very careful with that statue.
Oh, Mr. Percy.
Oh, it's good to see you.
Thank you.
You look a bit bedraggled
especially for 2:00
in the afternoon.
Well, I just heard
from Mrs. Havenhurst.
And everybody
that she invited to this
charity dinner
tomorrow is coming.
Every last one.
That's only 30 people.
Isn't it, John?
Only 30? They're only the 30
richest people in Washington.
Maybe in the entire country.
"The Golden Thirty." Right here
in the hotel that I work for.
What a marvelous opportunity
to introduce so many
highly influential people
to Myerton hospitality.
Or sour them on it for good
in case anything goes wrong.
- Care for some coffee?
- Not for me, thank you.
- Do you mind if I do?
- Not at all. Go ahead.
Nothing is likely to go wrong,
is it, John?
Oh, no, no,
of course not.
There, you see,
you worry too much.
Now I'm sure everything
will go as planned.
In the meantime, I would like
to rehearse my models
on the stage this evening,
if that's alright.
Well, as long as I
get to watch.
I understand your models
are really quite something.
It's all in the eye
of the beholder, John.
And perhaps in a well-placed
dab of makeup or two.
Well, I,
I'll see you this evening then.
- Right, Mr. Percy.
- Thank you.
- Bye-bye.
- Goodbye.
No, no, gentlemen.
I said four tables up front.
Not three, not five.
Four.
That many.
You see?
Would you page
Mr. John Austin, please?
(female #2 on PA)
'John Austin, call on house line
three. John Austin.'
Thank you.
John Austin.
(male #2)
I sincerely hope'
'Mrs. Havenhurst's
charming husband'
'is still planning to attend'
'your hotel's bash
tomorrow night.'
Listen, you creep.
Your threats didn't
frighten me two days ago
and they don't
frighten me now.
Well, why should you be
frightened?
It isn't you I intend to murder.
[dramatic music]
(John)
'They're just crank calls,
Steve. Nothing more.'
I mean, if somebody really
wanted to kill
Ambassador Havenhurst
why would he call me
and tell me about it?
And why would he do it
at a charity event
featuring a fashion show
for Pete's sake?
Look, if you're convinced
this guy
is a crackpot,
what are you doing here?
Advice, old buddy.
I was hoping you might suggest
a way out of this mess.
You tell anybody else
at the hotel?
No way.
This shindig tomorrow night
is gotta be the biggest event
ever held at a Myerton Hotel
anyplace in the nation.
If I do anything to mess this up
there goes my whole career
with Myerton.
So, if you don't
cancel the event
and something does happen..
Not only do I lose my career
I could've somebody's death
on my conscience
for the rest of my life.
What you're saying is that
you're in no position
to take a chance
if those calls weren't for real.
Exactly.
Alright. I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.
Because it is
a government official
whose life's being threatened
I can make security
arrangements for your show.
Steve, I don't wanna
put you in a bond.
- It's-it's no problem. Really.
- Thanks.
But you know,
if word of this leaks out
the party's ruined
and I'm down the drain.
Okay, why don't I stop by
tonight, we'll take a close look
at the setup and maybe
we can come up
with some very discreet
security measures.
[intercom buzzing]
Excuse me.
Hello. Oh, yeah.
Thanks a lot. Okay?
A government agency, discreet?
Hey, there's a first time
for everything.
- I'll see you tonight.
- Okay.
- Thanks, Steve.
- You bet.
Diana?
Hi, Steve.
You got anything on Nancy Clark?
As a matter of fact, I do.
- Police record.
- You're kidding.
Well, it's nothing big, but
nothing she'd wanna brag about
to the folks back home either.
You traced that costume yet?
Just talked to the costume
shop owner.
Getting him to tell me
whom he made it for
was just like pulling teeth
but he finally gave me
a name and address.
I'm on my way there now.
Okay, but keep me posted.
I'll be very interested
to know why
a girl with a police record
was posing as Wonder Woman.
So will I.
[horns honking]
Nancy?
Nance..
Hi, kiddo.
How you doing?
Toad.
- Todd.
- I know your name.
What are you doing..
What am I doing here?
You.. You were in an accident.
'The rescue squad
brought you in.'
I can't remember.
You-you were wearing
a-a Wonder Woman costume
and trying to help some kid.
How many people know? I mean,
about what happened to me?
You made the noon report
on Channel Two.
Oh, no.
You in trouble, Nancy?
Get lost, okay?
Come on, Nancy.
Let me help you.
Eh, look, uh..
Somebody tried to kill you
right after you were brought
in this morning.
- Kill me?
- Yeah.
Percy..
...wants me dead.
Percy?
Who's Percy?
Oh, just get lost.
Come on, Nancy, tell me
what kind of trouble you're in.
I can help. I'd do anything
to help you.
You are such a jerk,
you really are.
- What, for caring about you?
- You don't even know me.
Let me tell you
something, turkey.
You know why I got
that modeling job, huh?
'You know why they hired me?'
Because you're a beautiful girl.
Because I got a record.
Check forgery and shoplifting.
And they figured
anybody desperate enough
to break the law once
wouldn't mind doing it again.
They were right.
How does that grab you?
My brother's been busted
three times for marijuana.
Just get out of here, please.
My head feels like
it's gonna burst.
I.. I'll tell the doctor.
(Nancy)
'Just leave.'
No matter what you say,
whatever mess you're in
I'm gonna help
get you out of it.
I wish you liked yourself
half as much as I like you.
Jerk.
[tires screeching]
[dramatic music]
[tires screeching]
[thunderclap]
[music continues]
[tires screeching]
Hold it!
Just how many stories
did she fall?
Marvelous. No, no, no.
Mr. Roman will contact you
and arrange for your pay.
And good day to you.
[sighs]
'Pity your colleague had to come
to such a dreadful end.'
But life goes on,
and you have work to do.
'Such as helping me steal
several million dollars''
'worth of jewels and furs'
'from the cream
of Washington society.'
- Fred Roman?
- Yeah?
I'm Diana Prince.
- Thanks, George.
- IADC.
I expected to see someone else.
What you mean, don't you,
is that I'm the last person
you expected to see.
Well, you see, I had this
little problem getting here.
Almost as if someone didn't
want me to get here at all.
[scoffs]
Look, I got things to do.
What is it you want?
Well, I got your name from
the owner of a costume shop.
That's where I was, by the way,
when I had this little problem.
The bottom line, huh?
Well, I understand
the shop made
several Wonder Woman costumes
for you.
- Mm-hm.
- Why?
I spend part of the time
teaching acrobatics.
I spend the other part
arranging for Wonder Woman
to show up at parties
and stuff.
You train girls to appear
as Wonder Woman?
I teach them the stunts,
they wear the costumes.
We all make a living.
You got some kind of
problem with that?
No.
It's just that
a girl wearing
one of those costumes
was hospitalized
this morning.
Yeah, Nancy Clark.
I heard about that.
Too bad.
What's worse is that
while she was there
somebody tried to kill her.
- Hm.
- Someone about your size.
Apparently he was afraid
of what she might say
if she regained consciousness.
[knocking on door]
That's all
very interesting but, uh
I've got a living
to make, okay?
Okay.
When I see Nancy tomorrow
I'll be sure and give her
your best.
Yeah, you do that.
Come on, let's get started.
You got a lot of work to do
come tomorrow night.
Four beats to curtain.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Very nice.
Very nice, indeed.
Now, remember those girls
are part of your lifestyle.
Think '20s.
Yes, yes, switch the gun
and sit here.
Very good.
Yes, that's nice.
Sit and straight.
Very nice, indeed.
Excuse me.
Yes, I'd like that.
Now, Leslie, you go first.
All for nothing.
Five, six, seven, eight.
[music continues]
Leslie, that's your first
position. Now, Karen, we'll..
[music stops]
- 'It's broken, sir.'
- Just relax, everybody.
While our mechanical wizard
earns his keep.
Fortunately,
dear fellow, I have
four more tapes
just like that one.
Now, you are the one
looking bedraggled.
Not at all.
You've just witnessed
the reason
why rehearsals were invented.
- Excuse me, John.
- Oh, Steve.
Uh, Mr. Percy,
Colonel Steve Trevor.
- Steve, Edgar Percy.
- How do you do?
This is the man responsible
for what's happening onstage.
Oh, really? What a delightful
responsibility.
- Indeed.
- Well, what do you think?
There's no question about it.
You need professional help.
Oh, no. What do you suggest,
a platoon at every door?
Hey! No.
What I suggest is
that you limit access
to the room to just one door.
and everybody going through it
will be screened electronically
for weapons, and allow
a few of my agents
'to circulate
during the party.'
Steve, this is
a sit-down dinner.
I can't have your men wandering
around eyeing everybody.
- Nobody will--
- Excuse me.
I take it you're discussing
how to keep undesirables
out of tomorrow night's affair.
Something like that, yes.
As you know, my models
and I have entertained
wealthy and influential people
many, many times.
Now, in several instances
security guards kept a discreet
eye on the guests
while posing as waiters.
Three agents,
in uniforms I'll provide.
You got it.
That's a good idea.
I'll have the scanner delivered
tomorrow afternoon.
Oh, and Mr. Percy, I realize
that these guns on stage
are props but we'll still
wanna check them out, okay?
Of course.
But we'll see you here tomorrow
night, won't we, colonel?
My men can handle this
without me.
Oh, no, Steve,
if you're not here
it's no go on any of this.
Alright. I'll be here.
I get to sit at the front table.
- No problem.
- Nice meeting you, Mr. Percy.
- So long.
- Thanks, Steve.
- 'The tape is ready, sir.'
- Alright. Excuse me, John.
Places everybody.
'Exactly, the same position
you had before.'
'Roll the tape, please.'
[instrumental music]
(Nancy)
I'm not hiding anything.
I was coming home
from dress-rehearsing
some stunts at the gym.
I was supposed
to play Wonder Woman
at some guy's birthday party
on Sunday.
Then why is it that somebody
tried to kill you?
- And me, for that matter.
- I don't know.
- Somebody made a mistake.
- About both of us?
Look, you're just picking on me
because I got a record.
I make a couple of mistakes
and all of a sudden
I'm open game
for anybody with a fancy ID.
'Oh, yeah, sure, badger her'
call her a liar,
she's used to it.
Well, I'm not.
I'm sorry.
After all, you're here because
you saved a child's life.
Doubt if I ever do that again.
So, you make
your living modeling, huh?
Supposed to be the best way
to get into acting.
More like the best way
to be broke all the time.
Do you have an agent?
No, what work I get comes
from going over the want ads.
I'm trying to build up
my connections.
Is that how you got the job
playing Wonder Woman?
Yeah. Caught my eye
as soon as I opened the paper.
"Big money. Opportunity
for tall, athletic fe.."
They offered you big money?
For a birthday party?
Oh, no.
I was thinking of another ad.
The Wonder Woman job,
I got that through a friend.
- Nancy.
- That was it.
Nancy, those people
who hired you
they want you to think
that just because
you made some bad decisions once
that you don't know
how to make good ones.
But that's not true.
You proved it yourself
when you saved
that little boy's life.
My head's killing me.
I can't talk anymore.
Okay.
I'll have the doctor
look in on you.
Uh, wait-wait a second, miss.
Could you tell me
where I could find Mr. Percy?
Sure, he's staying in the hotel,
but I have no idea which room.
Didn't I see you hanging around
the stage last night?
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I work
for the hotel. Night shift.
I would've talked
to Mr. Percy then
but he was always too busy.
Well, he'll be back tonight
for the show, that's for sure.
'Listen, would you excuse me,
I have to go backstage'
and try on some costumes?
Wait-wait a second now.
'Cause maybe you can help me.
Uh, I wanted to ask him
about Nancy Clark.
You know, the girl he hired
to play Wonder Woman?
Oh, that's her name, Nancy.
'What about her?'
Well, look, see,
she's my girl.
And I just wanted to know
what Percy hired her for.
- She didn't tell you?
- No.
See, she, she wanted me
to be surprised
but I-I-I'd really
rather know now.
Far be it from me
to ruin a surprise.
Just keep your eyes peeled
during the speakeasy routine.
[knocking on door]
'Come in.'
- Very nice, Mr. Percy.
- 'Thank you.'
The IADC agents
that Trevor sent over
are tied up in the store room.
- Here's their ID cards.
- Good.
Now we simply wait
for the Colonel himself to show.
Is Wonder Woman
well-rehearsed?
She'll do fine. She's waiting
for you to make her up.
Well, despite your blunder
at the hospital
and despite Diana Prince's
knack for staying alive
we'll soon be on our way
to South America
several million dollars richer.
Not a bad way
to retire, Mr. Percy.
You know, for years,
I've been famous for creating
some of the most beautiful
faces in the world.
But the only thing
I'll be famous for tomorrow
is pulling off the most
unique heist in history.
What makes it
even better, Mr. Percy
is that the people
that you'll be robbing
are the beautiful people.
Well said, dear boy.
Well said.
[dramatic music]
Well, well, well,
look at you.
And I didn't even know
you were engaged.
I'm not getting married.
- I'm going to work.
- Oh, come on.
Yeah, John Austin asked me
to get him a hand
with the party over
at the Myerton tonight.
I told you about it.
Oh, yes,
the threatening phone calls.
And the security in general.
The combined income of guests
he's gonna have there tonight
would probably rival
the national treasury.
Uh, what's new
on the Nancy Clark thing?
Well, I'm having Ira
run down the newspaper ad
that she answered
to get that Wonder Woman job.
I thought you said
you're gonna talk to her.
I did, and I'm more convinced
than ever
that she's involved in something
very big and very bad.
Well, if you need me,
I'll be at the Myerton.
Uh, wait a second.
Why is it that
you're leaving
and it's only 3:30
in the afternoon?
I've lots of arrangements
to make.
I wouldn't hurry, Steve.
I doubt if any of Percy's models
can get free until
after the show.
Why, Diana, whatever
could you be talking about?
[chuckles]
- Colonel Trevor? Bob Roberts.
- Right.
John Austin asked me
to keep an eye out for you.
Wanted me to point out
a fire exit
that might give us
a bit of a problem tonight.
- You care to take a look?
- Sure. Lead the way.
[dramatic music]
[Rover beeping]
- Hello, Rover.
- Hello, Diana.
- Got something for me, I hope?
- Sure do.
(Diana)
'Oh! Good!'
Oh, great.
Not a completely wasted
Saturday afternoon.
This has got to be
the ad she answered.
It might've even tempted me.
'Good old Ira.'
Good old Ira.
(female #4 on phone)
'Four-four-nine-two.'
Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
I completely blanked out
on who I was calling.
(female #4)
'Do you wish to leave
a message for Mr. Percy?'
Percy?
Percy, uh, yes. Edgar Percy.
(female #4)
'Yes, what is the message,
please?'
Well, never mind. Um, I'm sorry.
I'll just try later.
[beeping]
Looks like I'll be going
to that fashion show, too.
[instrumental music]
- How goes it, colonel?
- Just fine. Look.
Confiscated from
three of our guests.
I explained it was for
their own good, of course.
Of course. Unfortunately, one
can hardly argue with the IADC.
How about the guns
up on stage?
Loaded and ready.
Yes, well, uh, I think
I should go to my room.
Make myself comfortable.
See you shortly.
How about some
hors d'oeuvres, Steve?
I saved you that table
up front.
No, I'm not hungry.
Besides, I can't
do my job sitting down.
Well, you're the boss.
Are you getting a cold?
You're sounding
awfully funny.
Uh, no, it's just a,
a little sore throat.
Another reason
for keeping my distance.
- Okay. I'll talk to you later.
- Yeah.
[indistinct chatter]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Talked to Mr. Percy yet?
No, I, I thought I'd wait
till after
the speakeasy number.
Won't be long now.
That kid's
still hanging around.
The one I told you,
who was asking questions.
- Where?
- There.
Todd?
What are you doing here?
I'm trying to figure out
what kind of trouble Nancy's in
so I can get her out of it.
Listen, something really big
is gonna happen
out there tonight.
I know,
but I have no idea what.
Yeah, I can tell you
one thing.
Whatever it is,
it's not gonna be good.
I can tell you
another thing.
And it's not
gonna be pleasant.
Not for you two.
[audience applauding]
I know, you've all been
looking forward to this
so I won't waste your time
with a long introduction.
On behalf of our hostess,
Mrs. Havenhurst..
[audience applauding]
...and the Myerton Hotel..
I present, "Fashions
That Made the Twenties Roar"
featuring the Edgar Percy
models.
[audience applauding]
Hold it.
I wanna watch the show,
don't you?
[gunshots]
Cut the tape, please.
I said, cut the tape!
[indistinct chatter]
Yes, the gun is real
and it's loaded.
So are theirs.
'Please remain in your seats.'
'Don't move and don't talk.'
Just kindly turn
all your valuables
over to my friends.
[indistinct chatter]
(male #3)
'Come on, move it, move it,
move it here. Come on.'
(female #5)
'Come on, come on,
hurry, hurry.'
'Come on, keep it moving.
Keep it moving.'
(male #3)
Just drop the wallet
and let's go. Come on, come on.
'Let's hurry up.
Move it along.'
Let's have the ring.
Let's have the ring.
- The ring now.
- 'Get out those wallets.'
'Hurry up.'
- 'Let's go. Let's go, lady.'
- 'Drop it in here.'
(female #5)
'They're not gonna hurt you.
They just want your bag.'
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct clamoring]
[gunshots]
[screaming]
[indistinct chatter]
Alright, hold it.
It's all over.
'The men dressed as waiters
are my agents.'
'My men will collect the bags.
Start collecting, that's it.'
'Everybody just stay seated,
just stay calm.'
'Everything will be alright.
Everything is under control.'
Just remain calm. The rest of
you people, drop your weapons.
Now, just stay calm,
keep your seat.
Thanks to Wonder Woman,
we're all safe.
The police have been sent for.
Now, the items that have been
taken from you
will be taken down
to police headquarters.
'You'll get them back just
as soon as we've'
'photographed the evidence--'
Call the police.
Don't worry about that. Go.
(male #4)
'Everything will be returned.
As quickly as possible.'
Now, just be calm
while Wonder Woman and my men
remove these people
so they don't
bother you anymore.
[thunderclap]
'Transportation
will be provided'
'to take you down
to headquarters'
'where you can identify
your valuables.'
[indistinct clamoring]
[screaming]
Real bullets this time,
Wonder Woman.
[gunshots]
[music continues]
So that would've been
Nancy out there
playing Wonder Woman
and helping them get away
with all those valuables.
Maybe not. You know,
she might've..
- Steve. You okay?
- Hi. Oh, yeah.
Another lump on the head
to go along with my collection.
Now, look who I found
waiting in his room
unaware that his plan
had gone astray.
They should not have
gone astray.
I had everything planned,
down to the tiniest detail.
Except you forgot to take one
thing into account, Mr. Percy.
A police record doesn't make
a person all bad.
That's right, if Nancy hadn't
stopped to save that child
you wouldn't be
on your way to prison.
Which reminds me,
I've got a phone call to make.
- Thanks for everything.
- Sure.
- So do I.
- So do I.
I think I'll make
reservations for two
at the Chateau Laffite.
Uh, what's the occasion?
Well, you don't think
I'm gonna let this tuxedo
go to waste, do you?
[chuckles]
