Wonder Woman (1975–1979): Season 3, Episode 11 - Pot of Gold - full transcript

Inspector, this is Diana.

'Yes, Diana. I read you.'

I'm outside Thackery's offices.
There's no sign of him yet.

But I'll, uh, let you know
if he makes a move.

'We're standing by
till you give us the go-ahead.'

Good. Good.

Rasputin, come.
Come, come, come. Come.

Come on.
Up, up, up. Come on up.

Oh, what a good boy.
What a good boy.

Oh, good boy, good boy.

Yes, oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.



Now go ahead. Attack!

Cease!

Rasputin will be going with you
on your journey.

Make friends with him.
Slowly.

He doesn't make friends easily.

He may look like
a sentimental old fool

but he'd as soon take your arm
off as look at you.

And he doesn't make friends
easily?

Here. Move very slowly.

Unfortunately, I can't
make this delivery myself.

I, um, well, I have a reputation
with certain customs officials.

But I'll be along
later in the week.

I don't think you'll have
any problems at all.

Not with Rasputin along.



The United States government
is trying very hard

to get its hands on these.

'The most perfect plates
ever created for $100 bills.'

I'm sorry, ma'am.
They're not ready yet.

Mr. O'Hanlon, you promised me

the shoes would be ready
by tonight.

I should have taken them
to a more reliable repairman.

Well, that you should have,
ma'am, because I am not

a shoe repairman,
I am a cobbler.

An expert craftsman that cannot
be rushed in his work.

Well, the only reason
I came here was because

my granddaughter insisted
that you needed the business.

I need nothing
from the likes of you

especially being so close
to Christmas.

Give me my shoes back.

- Take them and be gone.
- Come on, Lisa.

Wait, grandma.

I can't hear!
I can't hear anything.

No tricks tonight, Lisa.

What? I can't hear you.

Really.

Alright, let's have a look.

Well, no wonder
you can't hear anything.

You had a coin in your ear.

Now go on with you, and keep
that money out of your ear.

- 'Night, Pat.'
- Goodnight, me darlin'.

A shoe repairman, indeed.

What-what-what,
what are you doing?

No, I'm not going in there.
No, no.

No, I'm not getting in there.

Let's go.

It's a poor cobbler
you're kidnapping.

- Don't you know that?
- Who's kidnappin'?

All we want is your gold.

Gold? I haven't got any gold.

A friend of ours told us
differently.

- Who might that be?
- Just hang on, me lad.

You'll be finding out
soon enough.

'Hey, hey, hey, that's not bad.'

You ought to try out
for "The Gong Show."

What the..

- 'He's disappeared!'
- 'He's gone.'

I don't believe it.

- Well, where'd he go?
- How do I know?

'United British Airways,
flight number 7 from New York'

'is now arriving
at gate number 22.'

- 'Passenger Richard..'
- Flight to Washington.

'...Richard Alexander,
please report'

'to Mid-Continental Airlines
flight desk.'

'Last call for Trans-European
flight number 10'

'now boarding
at gate number 16.'

- 'American International..'
- Thank you.

'...flight number 4
from San Francisco'

'is now arriving
at gate number 31.'

'United British Airlines..'

Your travels are over, Charlie.

- Where are the plates?
- They're on the dog.

In the vest. But you're
too late, Wonder Woman.

'I can't believe some runt of an
old man got the best of you.'

'We can't believe it either,
Mr. Bonelli.'

He just disappeared.

Well, the next time,
you better be more careful.

You got that?

Listen, why don't we forget
about O'Hanlon?

He's just a poor old shoemaker,
anyway.

Well, that poor old shoemaker's
got a hoard of gold somewhere

and I need all the gold
I can get

to buy those counterfeit plates.

A million and a half dollars
worth.

Now we've only got
until Wednesday.

And if we blow this deal
with Thackery

we're all gonna be getting
funerals for Christmas.

Okay. So what do you want us
to do about it?

We hit O'Hanlon again.
And this time, we make it good.

In two days, I'm gonna be the
guy dishing out the funerals

'and making people sweat.'

No one's gonna stop me
from getting those plates.

Especially not some
stupid old shoemaker.

Oh!

Oh, Lisa, you gave me a fright.

You mustn't sneak up on me
like that.

I'm sorry.

Is this a new game?

I-I've got to go away, darling.

There's some bad men
who are after me.

Do they want your gold?

You are never to mention
me gold again. Do you hear me?

You had no business
peeking in the basement

of me shop
like you did that time.

It was a terrible mistake you
ever found out about me gold.

I didn't mean to see it.
And I'm really sorry, Pat.

I want your solemn word

that you'll never mention
me gold again.

I promised before.
I won't tell anyone ever.

Alright, fine.
Now please be gone.

Be off with you.
I-I-I've got work to do.

Hey, Pat.
I can't hear anything.

No. I-I have no time, Lisa.

Aren't you gonna
check my ears?

Lisa, I don't have time!

Okay. Goodbye, Pat.

Oh, Lisa darlin'.

'Thackery pulled a switch
on me, Steve.'

I caught up with the courier

but not before he got the plates
on the plane.

- What flight?
- Global Air, flight 183.

Arrives in Washington
at 10:25 a.m.

183. We'll be there.

Yeah, well,
there's one more thing, Steve.

The plates are on a dog.

On a d.. A dog?

One of Thackery's attack dogs.

Easy, boy. Easy now.

'Seal off all the exits.'

'White zone is for loading
and unloading of passengers..'

Mr. Bonelli, I presume.

That's right. Welcome
to Washington, Mr. Thackery.

Uh, this really is a nifty idea.

It just, uh, doesn't do
to be too far

from the point
of one's departure.

Good thinking.
You know, the boys and I

have taken accommodations
just down the road.

Hey.

Nice.

His Majesty's
Light Horse Brigade.

I saw the movie.

Yeah, cannons to the right,
cannons to the left.

- You collect these?
- In a manner of speaking.

Only when mine reach London,
they won't be lead.

They'll be gold.

I get it. I get it.

You're gonna melt the gold down

and pass it through
as toy soldiers.

It's fantastic.

Mr. Bonelli,
they told me in London

that you were not
a really big operator.

You had no leverage.
You couldn't handle

a really big job. True?

Let's just wait and see how
this operation works out first.

Okay, Mr. Thackery?

I mean, you want the gold,
and I want the plates.

It's that simple.

We're to meet on Wednesday
for the exchange.

The quicker this business
is over, the better for me.

Uh, there is one thing though.
Uh, I need another 24 hours.

It would make things
a lot easier

if we can deliver it
on Thursday.

Are you saying
that you don't have the gold?

No, no, no, no, no.
I have access to it.

It's just that it would make
things a lot easier

if I can deliver it on Thursday.

Mr. Bonelli,
as these gentlemen will attest

I have gone to great risk
in coming to this country.

I did not do so to be lied to
or trifled with.

You've-you've got it
all wrong, Mr. Thackery.

- Everything's ready.
- Wednesday, Mr. Bonelli.

Okay. Okay, you-you've got it.
You've got it.

- Wednesday.
- Oh, very good. Very good.

Oh, hush and be done with you.

"Where are my shoes,
Mr. O'Hanlon?"

"Why aren't you working today,
Mr. O'Hanlon?"

"You're an irresponsible
old man

that's what you are,
Mr. O'Hanlon."

I can't stand here and listen
to that sound any longer.

I won't be caged up with that.

Going somewhere, Mr. O'Hanlon?

Oh, first, it's kidnapping

now it's breaking and entering,
is it?

Well, you'll be getting coal in
your stockings this Christmas.

Your gold, old man.

Send help here right away,
please.

Like he said..

...your gold, old man.

Now why do you think
I've got any gold?

We hit a very prominent
gold exchange outfit.

And your name followed by
several five digit numbers

was on their preferred
customers list.

You can't have me gold. You'll
have to take me life first.

Maxwell, take him in the back
and use the silencer.

And, you,
start tearing this place apart.

Oh, no, no, no, wait, wait.

I'll take you to the gold.

No tricks, old man.

I'm not taking my eyes
or this gun off you

until we see that gold.

No tricks. It's at me shop,
in the basement.

Jackpot!

Okay, gentlemen, bring it up.

I never look a gift horse
in the mouth, old man.

That's why I'm not ask you
how in the world

you acquired all this.

Or why in the world
you haven't spent it.

Let's go. Bring it up.

We'll take this upstairs
and wait for you, Mr. B.

UH, please, can I get out
of here now too?

What's the matter, old man?
Don't you like my company?

Well, i-it's the basement
I don't like.

Dark and secluded places
never did sit well with me.

Well, that's just too bad

because I don't know what else
I can do with you except, uh..

...leave you down here.

No, please, Mr. Bonelli.
Don't do that.

Use your gun. Anything,
but please, don't lock me up!

- I'm back.
- You look beat.

I know. I am.

I'll never make
a jet setter, Steve.

What's the latest on Thackery?

Immigration says
he's still in the country.

I think I've got something
that's gonna lead us to him.

- Great. What is it?
- Gold robberies.

About a dozen of them
in the past month.

Apparently done
by the same person or persons.

Oh, I get it.

Thackery never negotiates
for currency.

Only precious metals or jewels.

Whoever's been stealing the gold

is planning on buying
the counterfeit plates.

Find the gold thief, chances are
you'll find Thackery.

Well, it sounds good on paper,
Steve, but do you think

that this person or persons
will try it again?

It's a long shot,
but we've arranged for a decoy.

A jewelry corporation's
transferring

a small amount of gold
this afternoon at 4:30.

Our people made sure
the news got on the grapevine.

"Midland Security Transports."

Hmm.

Well, what's a few more hours
without sleep?

- Gee, thanks.
- Welcome.

- Have a good time.
- Oh, I will.

Yeah, that's right.

Like I said before,
I want no foul-ups on your end.

'Uh-huh.'

'Yeah, yeah.'

'Yeah, okay.'

Yeah, yeah, we got it.

Alright, they're working
the run on schedule.

- Now you got the uniforms?
- Yeah.

But why the extra job?
I thought all we needed

to pay Thackery up
was the Irishman's gold.

You deal with a guy
like Thackery, you gotta

be adaptable.
Rancher, you ready?

It will be as good
as the real thing, Mr. B.

Figure it out for yourself,
Maxwell.

In two weeks,
the gold we swipe tonight

won't be worth
what it was yesterday.

I don't get it.

Thackery's discounting our gold.

Alright, listen, you two guys
get the doors. Let's go.

'As soon as you finish
with that'

you better get changed, okay?

You guys got less than an hour.

Shake it up.

- I just can't get over it.
- What's that?

A woman being an agent
with the AIDC

It's the IADC.
What? You don't approve?

Oh, sure.

It's just gonna take some time
to get used to it.

Well, don't take too much time,
you know.

- Why not?
- Well, you might get replaced.

By a woman.

Hey, it's one of our trucks.
We better stop.

- You have a problem here?
- Mm.

- You do.
- Hold it, sweetheart.

Come on out.

Get back there. Move.

Open the door.

Come on, come on, let's go.

Now get in there.

Okay, let's go!

Now you're going to do exactly
as we say or your family's

gonna have a very un-merry
Christmas this year.

Thief! Thief! They're stealing
the gold! Stop..

Halt!

Come on!

Get on!

Hurry!

Go back!

Move it!

'Hey! Hey, come back!'

- He won't get out of the way.
- Run him down!

'Are you alright?'

- Now what did you do that for?
- I just saved your life.

You let them get away
is what you did.

Ugh! Interfering women. Argh!

Well, thank you
very much, miss.

- May I come in?
- No.

Mr. O'Hanlon.

Now, look, miss,
I told the police

and Wonder Woman
everything that I know.

Yes, but you didn't tell her
what you were doing

in the back of that truck.

I was going to rent the truck

and I accidentally
locked meself in..

Now how would you know
what I told Wonder Woman?

- Pat, you're back!
- Oh, Lisa, me darling.

Hi. Uh, so you knew nothing
about those men?

Well, like I said--

Those men didn't catch you
after all.

- What men?
- Uh, well..

It's just a little game
we play, isn't it, Lisa?

Not now, darling.

Uh, yeah, Pat's right.

I was just playing
our little game.

Yes. Now, listen,
why don't you run along?

And I-I-I'll talk to you later.

Missy, thank you very much
for the ride.

- Yes.
- Goodbye.

Lisa, are you really
good friends with Pat?

Oh, yes.

Well, I'd like to think so

but I'm sometimes
not sure about him.

If you really care about him

you'll tell me about those men
who wanted to hurt him.

But I promised not to.

You don't wanna see
Pat get hurt, do you?

Well, are you a policeman?
Well, I mean, a police person?

Well, sort of.

Well, some men tried
to take Pat's gold.

- How much gold does he have?
- Oh, a lot.

He has a big old-fashioned pot
of it filled to the brim.

I saw that by mistake once.

I shouldn't tell you this, but..

...I think Pat's a Leprechaun.

'They always have
a pot of gold.'

A Leprechaun?

Oh, forget it.
I was just playing

another little dumb game.

You won't tell Pat
I said that, will you?

No, I won't say a thing.

And I promise I won't let
anyone hurt him either.

Okay?

Patrick O'Hanlon
has a shoe shop where?

81st. I would like
a full rundown on him

first thing in the morning, Ira.

As you wish, Diana Prince.

You think
O'Hanlon's hiding something?

Yeah.

- A pot of gold.
- A what?

Steve, what do you know
about Leprechauns?

Oh, the wee people.

My grandmother told me
all about them.

It's an old Irish myth.

Magical little men who have been
given a pot of gold to guard.

If you capture one,
he must give up his gold.

And he has to get it back
all by himself.

But if you take your eyes
off of him

the Leprechaun will disappear.

Why do you ask?

Well, there's a little girl
who thinks

that O'Hanlon is a Leprechaun.

Ah, pure fantasy.

As much fantasy perhaps
as Wonder Woman, Steve Trevor?

Yeah.

Right.

Gold's crated.
All ready to roll, Mr. Bonelli.

But that old man, he just--

He must have hid in the truck
while we were here.

He knows where we are.

I'm not worried about O'Hanlon.

He's got something to hide

or he would have gone
to the police long before this.

But if he shows up again..

...kill him.

You just let us know
where you want

the transaction to take place.

Fine. We're on our way.

Alright, now go on.
Back up, the both of you.

You're making one big mistake,
O'Hanlon.

Oh, not me, boy. Oh, I'm not the
one making the mistake, you are.

Tangling with the likes of me.

I'll just take what's mine
and be gone.

I don't think Mr. Rancher's
gonna let you do that.

Aren't you the sly one?

Well, I'm not as big a fool
as you think.

I lost O'Hanlon.

One minute, his car was right
in front of me

and the next minute,
it was gone.

You'd better put out
an all-points bulletin.

That's not good news, Diana.

Right now, we need any lead
we can get.

Thackery's apparently
made arrangements

to leave the country tonight.

Tonight?

Which means
that he'll be passing those

counterfeit plates off today

and must have figured out
some clever way

of moving the gold back
to England.

Oh, it's rumored
that there's a cheap hood

named Vincent Bonelli who, uh,
is negotiating a gold deal

that's gonna put him
in the big time.

Bonelli? He started off
as a trigger boy in Philly.

I should think
that a deal with Thackery

would put him in
way over his head.

Well, in any case,
if a hood like that gets a hold

of those plates,
we're in big trouble.

Say no more.

I'll keep looking
for Mr. O'Hanlon.

And nail it up tight.

I don't want this guy
getting out.

Alright, now get him up.
Let's go.

Straight back.

Straight back to the door.

There you go. Come on.

Alright, open that door now
and lock him in.

Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

'That will get you
out of my hair'

and keep you out, old man.

Anybody comes looking for you

and opens that door..

...you're gonna meet with
a very unfortunate accident.

Hey, what is this?

Hello!

Where in the devil..

'Help!'

'Somebody get me out of here!'

'Help! Somebody help me!
Get me out of here!'

'Would you be looking
for someone, Miss Wonder Woman?'

Well, yes, as a matter of fact

I was looking for you,
Mr. O'Hanlon.

Ah, you thought
I was one place

when actually
I was somewhere else.

A common enough mistake.

That thief Bonelli thought
the same thing.

- What are you doing in here?
- Getting me gold.

Well, if you had cooperated
with Diana Prince before

she might have been able
to help you.

Don't you bandy words with me,
Wonder Woman.

You of all people
should know the rules

under which I must operate.

Well, uh, do you have any idea
where they went?

If I knew that, do you think
I'd be standin' here?

Mr. O'Hanlon, this is the center

of Bonelli's operations,
isn't it?

It is that.
Would you care for a tour?

Follow me, ma'am.

Now here's where
he conducted his business.

Well, I think
I might have an idea

where Mr. Thackery's
conducting his.

Oh? Where's that?

Well, if we're lucky,
it's near here

and that's where
the gold is headed.

'And so are we.'

By we, I mean the IADC
and several squad cars

Mr. O'Hanlon, 'cause I'd like
for you to call Steve Trevor

at the IADC and..

Rasputin.

Pretty soon,
we'll be in possession

of over a million and a half
dollars worth of gold

as well as
the counterfeit plates.

- He's late.
- No, not likely, Bonelli.

'Because of you,
it is I behind schedule.'

Well, let's see what you have.
Get on with it.

'The doors, come on.
This way.'

This could take hours.

Bonelli
could be meeting Thackery

anyplace in the airport.

- Maybe we better split up.
- That's a good idea.

- I'll go with them.
- Okay.

Steve.

Let's go.

It's all there.

The question is, uh,
where are the plates?

The plates? Well, they're right
where they've always been.

There in Rasputin's vest.

Go get them, Maxwell.

What are you trying to pull,
Thackery?

It seems to me as if Rasputin

doesn't want to give up
the plates.

Can't say that I blame him.

Shoot the dog.

Oh, uh, uh. I-I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

'Your two friends will load this
gold into that helicopter now.'

You there, old man, stop!

Hold it! Nobody moves.

Everybody, drop your weapons.

Pat, it's alright.
Just get down from there.

I could have handled it meself,
missy, and you're me witness.

Hold it there, Thackery.

Come with me and move very
carefully and very slowly.

Come on now, old man.
Get in here quickly.

Quickly!

Come on, let's get out of here.

- Oh, get out!
- Ah!

Will you put me down?

I just cannot make it
a habit of saving your life.

Let's get out of here.

What's going on?
Get us out of here!

Get out of here.

Get us out of here!

Rasputin, attack!

Ah, come on, old fellow.

You know better than that. Sit.

Darling puppy.

Mr. O'Hanlon,
how did you do that?

Ah, we all have
our little secrets

don't we, Miss Wonder Woman?
