"Yes, there's an urgent reason for this mission, all right." "And for our government's insistence on secrecy." "I'd like to hear that reason, Mr. Trevor." "Or is it CIA Agent Trevor?" "No, I'm US Government security, not the CIA." "And please, call me Steve." "Get off your soapbox, Sam." "We all volunteered." " We knew we were going into it blind." " That's true, Dr. Ross." "You also knew that you were going into something potentially dangerous." "There have been threats of death, and they have to be taken seriously." "But still, you all volunteered." "Now I'm in the position to give you explanations." "Two nuclear scientists, and two nuclear engineers." " I'd say it was a nuclear project." " And you would be right." "A major installation in Latin America." "As you all know, there have been at least four very effective terrorist attacks... in the past few weeks." "These have been on countries belonging to the Organization of American States." "If these terrorists can hit power lines, dams... destroy two countries' power sources, they can also destroy a nuclear plant." "Right again." "That's why we're flying to Latin America for a top-secret conference." "Now, we're going to be landing... on the northeastern coast of the continent." "Right here, Samarra." "We're going to decide if we can put a plant there... and whether or not we can protect it." "I've prepared some folders here that I'd like to have you study." "Here they are." "My associate quit to get married just before I left Washington." "Obviously I packed these myself." "Thank you." "Now, these are the technical details, all top secret." "Please remember that the conference, the location, the flight... everybody here, all confidential." "Little men, clinging to their petty illusions." " Excellent reception, Kleist." " Thank you, sir." " Where are they now?" " Where are we now, Steve?" "We should be over a very notorious part of the Caribbean." "The Devil's Triangle." "Where planes and ships are supposed to disappear mysteriously." "As I understand it, since the 1800s... over a thousand ships have disappeared." "And in this century alone, over two hundred planes have vanished... without trace, without explanation." "Yeah, I'd say that's mysterious." "Cheap superstition." "Neither superstition, Dr. Samuels, nor cheap." "We must be going through an interference zone..." "I'll see if I can change course." "Hello?" "Communications seem to be jammed." "I'll go forward." "That idiot Gorham!" "The plane's going to crash!" "Get a fix on the plane, we've got to intercept it." "I can't, Doctor Solano." "I'm losing her." "Some type of interference." "I can't detect the source." "Get an approximation!" "I can't, sir!" "It's in a blank area, in the Bermuda Triangle!" "They're aircraft engines, all right." "But not the kind I remember." "It's entering the magnetic field now." "Evadne, run back and tell the Scientific Council... and my mother, tell the Queen... that we'll need some help when the plane lands." "Yes, Diana." "A plane from the outside world is landing." "Yes, I know, it's under our control." "Steve?" "It can't be." " In here." " There are more coming." "There's no wound or illness." "She..." "He has been drugged." "He." " The last time I saw a male" " Was in 1942." " During their Second World War." " Yes." "Of course." " Well, this one is going to be fine." " Thank you, Doctor." "You seem concerned about this man." "Well, it's just that he looks exactly like someone I knew once." "Only that man would have to be over 60 years old." "No wonder he'd look familiar to you." "I know, even his name, Steve Trevor." "Ordinary humans marry and breed, and their children grow into adults." "He was named after his father, the late Major General Steve Trevor." "He looks so much like him." "Ordinary humans have a sort of immortality, at that." "I'm more interested in the reason the aircraft landed on Paradise Island." "The Scientific Council examined the data... and questioned the people, under light hypnosis." "The plane was to be taken over by one of the crew, Joseph Gorham." "Why?" "The man only knows that he was to take over the plane... and then he would be instructed... where to land it by an international terrorist group." "Like the Nazis, 35 years ago." "Maybe worse." "This time, not one nation against others... but an organization trying to destroy all governments." "Praise Athena that that madness doesn't trouble us!" "I suspect, daughter, you've thought of a solution." "Well, yes." "As a matter of fact, I have." "We have to send an emissary into the outside world to investigate this threat." "You?" "As Wonder Woman again?" "No." " Mother." " Never!" "Mother." "Never." "Those in favor of my daughter returning to the outside world... raise their hands." "Those opposed." "So be it, I suppose." "You forget, Your Majesty... that it is the right of any Amazon to challenge the Princess... to the traditional Olympic Contests, or any part thereof." "At the age of 3,200 years... you don't think about going out into the outside world, do you?" "Not I, Your Majesty." "Evadne." "In the spirit of sisterly competition... and in keeping with the traditions of Paradise Island..." "I challenge my cousin, the Princess Diana... to the supreme test:" "Bullets and Bracelets." "I accept the challenge." "Diana, Evadne, are you wearing your protective bracelets of feminum?" "Good." "Since neither of you can be harmed, the contest can begin." "Bullets and Bracelets!" "Look." "Princess Diana hit the star." "She's won the contest." "The Queen is bound by tradition." "But you are my mother, and even now, if you tell me to stay..." "I'll stay." "I love you." "And I'm proud of you." "And I'm also worried about you." "You're my daughter, but I am the Queen, and you must go." "Asclepia will make arrangements for human acceptance of you." " You have been assigned a new assistant." " I have been assigned a new assistant." "Her identification is verified... by your personnel computer." "You will accept her and prepare others to accept her." "Her name is Diana Prince." "Diana Prince." "Good." "She will report to you in Samarra." "You will remember, without conflict." "Now sleep." "He has accepted you on an unconscious level." "Thank you, Doctor." "I'll stay here a while." "Don't worry, Steve, I'm here." "It's Diana." "Everything will be all right." "Magic bracelets." "Your tiara." "The costume with the secret belt of strength." "The golden lasso of truth and then forgetfulness." "The garb of justice." "My daughter, they are yours." "Remember, in the outside world... without these things that I have given you... you are only an ordinary woman with no special powers." "I'll remember." "If you need me, you can contact me through the ruby of your tiara." "I'm proud of you, daughter, and I'm worried for you." "Of course, children always have to go... and parents always have to stay and wait." "And worry." "They're in the exact same positions as when they were gassed..." " verified by their own memories." " Good." " And Steve and Gorham?" " They're all under light hypnosis now." "Our magnetic control will take the plane to 12,000 feet." "Then a note on this flute will revive them, with no memory of what's happened." "Good." " And my invisible plane?" " It will follow." "Before they are fully awake... you will transfer to it and then be able to get to Samarra before them." "They look so peaceful." " In need of protection." " They are." "That's why I'm going back into their world." "You'd better leave now, and clear the area." "We've already said our farewells, daughter." "You're going to need money in the outside world." "These tetradrachmae are quite old, and valuable." "Athena be with you, daughter." " What happened?" " We were gassed." "The air-filter system must have pulled it out of here." "We're lucky." "Flight deck?" "This is Trevor, you guys okay?" "Yes, sir." "A little turbulence." "And we seem to have lost altitude." "I'll take her back up to cruising level." "We're fine, right on schedule." "What is this?" "You have located them after two days?" "I demand that you provide us With some answers, Trevor." " They've captured Gorham, Dr. Solano." " Yes." "They've captured Gorham." "The gas vanished." "As did the plane, the passengers, and the crew, for two days." "Quite incredible." " I can't imagine." " Of course not, Kleist." "That's why you're a superb technician:" "a blessed lack of imagination, no sense of mystery." "And this is a mystery." " The Devil's Triangle." " No." "That's fantasy, not mystery." "Fortunately, I know their destination." "I'll meet them at Samarra." "Why, that's absurd, this can't be the 6th!" "But it is, Doctor Samuels." "Wednesday, the 6th." " You have been missing for two days." " That's insane!" "But we were in communication." "Yes, you were in talking to our controller here in Samarra, Mr. Trevor." "We lost communication with you on the 4th." "At that time you were over The Devil's Triangle." "We feared the worst." "We have been conducting massive air and sea searches... trying to locate you, as has your government... until today, when you landed." "Now, frankly, we are baffled." "Frankly, Colonel Acevo, so are we." "I just can't believe that the Devil's Triangle caused this." "There's gonna have to be a complete investigation." "Of course." "But meanwhile, the first conference session is tonight." "Your hotel rooms are waiting." "I'm sure you would like to rest and refresh yourselves." " Definitely, Colonel!" " Follow me." "Certainly, Colonel, and thank you." "What about this guy who tried to take over the plane, Gorham?" "We've had him checked with Interpol." "He's a mercenary, nothing more." "No criminal record, no motive beyond money." " Your associate has the full report." " My associate?" "Yes." "This way, please." "Hi, Colonel Acevo said that you were my new associate." "I just flew in." "I'm Diana Prince." "You will accept her." "Yeah, of course." " Forgive me." "I've been out of touch." " It's all right." " Miss Prince." "Ms. Prince?" " Diana." "Please." "Good." "Call me Steve." "Have you had the chance to get yourself organized?" "Yes, sir, I have the conference agenda... and some background studies." "The first meeting's at the Institute of Technology." "Good evening, Mr. Trevor, and welcome." "I'm Gloria Marquez." "How do you do?" "I'd like you to meet my associate, Diana Prince." " Hi." "How do you do?" " Yes." "We just received your name." "I was sort of an afterthought." "I can't believe that." "Steve, the meeting is just about to begin." "You don't mind if I call you Steve?" "That's my name." "What country do you represent, Miss Marquez?" "It's Gloria, please." "I'm with the Guanarayan delegation." "I see." " Here's your seat." " Thank you." "Excuse me." "Hi, you sit here." "Ladies and gentlemen... may I have you attention, please?" "Thank you." "The chairperson for this evening's meeting... is the honourable representative from the Republic of Guanaray, Dr. Solano." "Solano." "That's a curious name." " Why is that?" " It's just that it's supposed to be unlucky." "In Spanish, solano means nightshade." "As in deadly nightshade, the poisonous plant." "Thank you very much, my friends." "It gives me great pleasure... to extend a formal thanks to the United States government... for their gift of a nuclear generating plant, a new source ofpower for us all." "That's very kind of you, Dr. Solano." "Only just, Mr. Trevor." "But We all ha ve the same questions." "How will the plant be transported to Samarra?" "Once it is here, how will it be protected?" "We could ring the dock area with troops." "My country has another suggestion." "Ships are slow, easy to spot, easy to attack." "We are prepared to fly the plant in, airlift it." "Fly an entire nuclear plant in?" "That's right, Doctor Solano." "It would be fast, secure... and your countries will ha ve an adequate supply ofpower within a month." "When do we get details of the airlift?" "Unfortunately, you don't." "Security, you understand." "Yes, of course we understand." "But surely you can outline the plan for us?" "Only in very general terms." "Slow-witted cretin wouldn't reveal any key facts!" "What were you able to discover?" "That Steve Trevor is a very dedicated man." " What about his associate?" " The Prince girl?" "Not your type." "This is very important to me." "I've got to know the details about that airlift." "All right, Solano." "I've arranged to meet him in Washington." " I'll work on him there." " And you'll be successful?" "It's infuriating!" "I spent months, and millions, controlling the government of Guanaray..." " just to get that nuclear plant." " Why's it so important?" "Because it is power." "Because Latin America is the fulcrum... on which geopolitical power is balanced." "With nuclear fuel, I could disrupt that power." " You'd start a war." " Several wars." "Small ones." "Each one bleeding strength away from the antique concept of nationalism... creating a new, international structure in the world!" "With guess who on top." "Yeah, of course." "But only because the future belongs to him who creates it." "Peace, order, these have to be born out of blood and violence." "But once it's done, I'll give humanity a new world, a new paradise!" "I have to use terror." "I bear the weight of that." "Because in the future, in my future... they may very well build monuments to me!" "Yes." "But great dreams are built on small realities." "We shall begin with the very vulnerable interior... of Mr. Trevor's very stubborn mind." "And as you can see, the department uses... only the latest and the most sophisticated of computer technology." "And now, Miss Prince, before you leave, I'd like to show you IRAC." "The computer is also voice-actuated." "Interpret IRAC." "Information Retrieval Associative Computer." " Thank you." " You're Welcome." "Some of the other technicians refer to it as Ira." " And security for IRAC?" " Maximum." "The computer, after all, contains all the personnel files... for five major federal departments." "IRAC can be activated only by a specific code key... which you just saw." "Now, furthermore..." "I'm now locking the chamber." "The combination I am tapping out is the only one that will open it." " It's changed daily." " That's very resourceful." "Thank you." "I trust you are satisfied?" "Mr. Trevor merely wanted a routine security check." "And, yes, I'm satisfied." "Thank you very much, you've been very helpful." "Response activated." " Hello, Ira." " Hello." "This is a direction." "Following data to be classified, retained, and filed." "Identity:" "Diana Prince." "Female." "Age, 25." "Past employment:" "Inter Agency Defense Command..." "Overseas Division, past three years." "Prior:" "Student, University Of California, Berkeley campus." "Records damaged, confirmation by interview." "Current grade:" "GS-16." " Response." " Response activated." "Hello, I am unable to accept this data it is false-to-fact." "I am overriding your program code." " You are tampering with me." " Only out of necessity, Ira." " Override response?" " I have no choice." "I accept the data, Diana Prince." " Thank you, Ira." " You are welcome." "You have very good manners." "I am programmed for social politeness." "May I be of any more service?" "No, thank you." "I think that's all for today." "Wait a minute." "Can you give me the name of a reliable coin dealer?" "Well, they're fairly good Syrian coin." "Quite old." "Mr. Kalten, they're brilliant, uncirculated tetradrachmae of King Demetrius." " You know." " Demetrius?" "Yes, I knew him." " But he's dead, of course." " Pity." "One always tries." "One doesn't always succeed." "They're perfect." "Rarity, 8." "I don't know what they'd bring at auction... but I'll offer $20,000 for them." "Mr. Kalten..." "Apiece." "Mr. Kalten, I was about to say that I trust you." "Miss, you are a very able negotiator." "$25,000 apiece, and that's tops." " Very well?" " Very well." "Got her." "For $500?" "For rent?" "A month?" "What did you expect?" "The last time I was in Washington..." "I think I paid $40 a month, including utilities." "Not unless it was 30 or 40 years ago, before you were born." "Yes, I'll take it." "And there's a last month's deposit, and a security month's deposit." "All right." "Can you tell me a place to buy some clothes?" "If I can afford anything at today's prices." "And for the rest of the day, she just went shopping." "Paying in cash?" "As she did for the apartment?" "Everything was in cash." "As from an intelligence agency special fund." "Which would make Miss Prince a person of considerable importance." " Gloria, I want you to get some rest." " Thanks." "I need it." "Yes, because I want you to go to her new apartment tonight." "If she's isn't there, I want you to search it and bug it." "Turn around slowly." "Over here." "You're a woman." "We shouldn't be enemies." "I don't know where your head is at, baby." "Women are naturally enemies." "Just keep the exit clear." "I want to see who you are." " Hello?" " Steve, its Diana." "I'm sorry to bother you, but I thought I'd better call." "I just had a woman visitor who ransacked my apartment." "What?" "Are you all right?" "Yes, I'm fine." "Thank you." "Is anything missing?" "Well, I haven't had a chance to check, but I don't think so." "I didn't get a good look at her, unfortunately." "Okay." "We'd better follow up on that tomorrow... after we lock up the operational plans and security procedures at Blandings." "I want to lea ve at 8:30 in the morning... but I'd like to introduce you to the rest of the staff first." "Then you don't want me to call the police tonight?" "No, we'll decide what to do about her tomorrow." "Okay." "Good night, Steve." "Yes, we certainly shall." " Good morning." "I'm Diana Prince." " Hello." "Steve went down the hall to round up Joe Atkinson." "I'm Beverly Ryan, and your office is all ready." "At least the desk is here... and chairs and filing cabinet." "If you wanna bring something from home, you know, a picture of family..." " Something to brighten it up?" " Yeah." "It's fine just like it is." "Thank you." "Good morning, ladies." "Diana, say hello to Joe Atkinson." "Joe, this is my new associate, Diana Prince." " How do you do?" " Miss Prince." "Joe has been in the Intelligence Records since the days of Roosevelt." "I wish you'd specify that was Franklin and not Theodore." "Welcome to the IADC, Diana." "Between Steve and IRAC, you come very well recommended." "Thank you." "I'll try to live up to it." "Diana, we're running a little late." "We'd better get out to the base." " What about the steak, eggs, coffee" " I have no time." "That's all right." "I'll eat them for him." "They're on the way." "Roger." "Run for it, Diana." "Now, the truth." "Are you all right?" "I'm not sure." "I'm not sure I'm even awake yet." "Wonder Woman?" " Here?" "Now?" " That's right." "Are you sure you're all right?" "Well, I've had better mornings." "What happened to those guys that jumped me?" "Well, they tried to substitute a watch exactly like yours for your own." "I suppose there was some kind of electronic device in it." "It's a bug." "I would have gone into that top-secret Air Force briefing bugged." " And you stopped them?" " Yes." "I also questioned them... but they were hired simply for one job, and knew nothing more." "And you made them tell the truth with the lasso?" "That's right." "I can also make them forget everything that happened." " You know all about that?" " Sure." "When I was a kid, my father raised me on stories about Wonder Woman." "How they worked together, and all the adventures that they had." "And I used to think he exaggerated." "Your father was a very truthful man." "He must have been." "He also said you were gorgeous." " You must have known him well." " Yes, I did." "From the J-shaped burn scar on his right shoulder... to the 20 mm shell casing he used as a paperweight." "That's right." "Hey, wait a minute." "You couldn't have known him." "You can't be more than 23 or 24." "Tell me the truth." "Are you a relative of this Wonder Woman?" "Is there an organization?" " You want the truth?" " Yeah." "All right." "There is no organization." "Only myself, Wonder Woman." "And as for age..." "I will be 2,527 years old... on my next birthday." "You're in pretty good shape for your age." "All right." "You don't have to tell me." "You helped me out, and I appreciate it." "You're everything my father said you were." "Thank you, Steve." "And if you ever need me, I'll appear." "Wherever or whenever." "That mean we're gonna get to know each other better?" "Didn't I tell you?" "She's unbelievable." "She, yes, but who is she?" "Look at the way she's holding that truck and car." "It's remarkable physical strength." "That outrageous costume." " Perhaps a sort of uniform?" " And there are a number of them?" "No, we'd have encountered one of them earlier." "She must be an experimentally enhanced agent in Trevor's department." "And very effective." " I want a priority search on her." " I'll get right on it." "Focus on areas of vulnerability." "Whoever or whatever she is, she is dangerous." "She'll have to be eliminated." " What did you find out?" " She was called Wonder Woman." "Was?" "When?" "1942 through 1945." "Here are photos, news stories." "Amazing physical resemblance." "Obviously, this woman has deliberately copied the original." "I also have a number of Nazi documents." "They regarded this Wonder Woman as a very serious enemy." "Yes, of course." "Striking physical gifts, dramatic appearance." "My respect for the United States intelligence apparatus... has just risen dramatically." "They've created a mystery weapon in this woman." "If she is a woman." " You saw the tapes." " I did." "Including your footage of her actually holding a truck and a sedan." "You considered the possibility she might be a construct, a robot?" "Impossible." "I saw her." "Impossible is only an admission of temporary ignorance, Gloria." "Combine a sophisticated servomechanism with computer controls... and you have..." "I have a superhumanly efficient robot." " I thought you were still testing it." " I am." "And to date, it has passed every test perfectly." "Even when it's set on its lowest speed, or its highest." "Of course, it's tireless." "Powered by a miniature nuclear reactor source, unlimited strength." "Only possible to stop it, like this!" "Do you think this Wonder Woman might be another robot?" "It's possible." "That's why I've had my lab... working around the clock on this one." "A robot is supernaturally powerful and swift... but it can be defeated by another machine." "But what if Wonder Woman is more powerful... and your robot loses?" "That's the nuclear power source under my remote control." "If the robot is in danger, I can force the reactor to go critical... to become a small atomic bomb." "I want this Wonder Woman intact, alive, a prisoner." "But, if she, it, whatever, bests this machine... she'll be destroyed." "And a substantial portion of Washington will blow up with her." "If they have to, the planes can refuel right here at Key West... and then continue on down to Samarra." "Somebody to see you, Mr. Trevor, from the Guanarayan Embassy." " Just a moment, please." " Yes, sir." "I'll keep these in my office." " Send him in, please." " All right." "Send him in?" "Steve, you are a terrible chauvinist." " Gloria, I apologize." " Accepted." "I came by to make sure you hadn't forgotten... my invitation to the little reception at the embassy tonight." "No, I hadn't forgotten, but I thought I'd have to call you." "I seem to be stuck with a top-secret headache." "Steve, I know you can't tell us any State secrets about the nuclear airlift." "But all the people that will be there tonight are concerned and hopeful." "And the very fact that an American official of your rank stops by, even briefly... well, it's really what your good-neighbor policy comes down to." "I'll be on a tight schedule, but I'll stick my head in." "Thanks, Steve." "And speaking personally, it just might be a lot of fun." "I just wanted to make myself perfectly clear." " I am not a him." " I'll go along with that." "See you tonight." "Around 8:00." "I heard your visitor go." " Do you want to continue?" " Yes." "Steve, black tie." "Sorry, Miss..." "King?" "Duke?" "Prince." "Diana Prince." "How could I have forgotten?" "You must come, too, dear." "Bye, Steve." "Shall we continue?" "There's something very familiar about her." "She was at the conference." "Yes, I know that." "But it's something else." "It's ready." "How successful is the surgery?" "We'll know in a few seconds." "It scans almost perfectly on point-to-point overlap." "And his skin?" "We're toning surface coloration now." "That's the last detail." "All right, let's see what we've got." "My face feels almost perfect." "It is." "It looks almost perfect." "It is perfect." " Steve." " Hello." "And Diana." "Welcome." "There's somebody you have to meet." "It'll only take a second." "You will forgive me, Diana?" "Of course I forgive you, Gloria." "Excuse me." "Very good." "Hi." "I'm Steve Trevor." "You really are." "Idiot." "Wristwatch." "You've been briefed on Diana Prince." "Don't slip up." "Excuse me for a moment, please." " Good night." " Good night." " Everything okay?" " Never better." "I'm sorry Gloria had to drag me off like that." "It was a small group of Samarrans." "I understand." "It's a very small country with a big responsibility." "Thanks for understanding." "Can you be understanding one more time?" " Try me." " I've got to go out to the base." "I know." "Don't you want me to go with you?" "I want you to, but I think it would be a good idea... if one of us stayed here as an official presence." "I don't know how convincing I'll be as an official presence... but I'll do my best." "You'll be fine." "I'll pick you up as soon as I can." "Gentlemen, there's been some developments since our original briefing." "You'll be delivering your cargo to a new destination." "That new destination is Guanaray." "Coordinates: 21-54, north... 17-22, east." "It's a mountain valley with a mining site airstrip." "It's primitive, but it'll handle the traffic." "Now, remember, complete radio silence." "And I mean complete." "If you hear anything from anybody... including myself or the President of the United States... ignore it." "It will be neither of us." "Or it will be a message forced with a gun to our head." "Mr. Trevor, are we flying this mission without a fail-safe signal?" "No, Major, I was coming to that." "The fail-safe code word is "capsize. "" "Gentlemen, this is a hot one." "We can't afford to blow it." "So once you're in the air, you go." " Is that clear?" " It's clear, sir." "There'll be an official from the Guanarayan government to meet you when you land." "His name is Dr. Solano." "He's already on his way." "You'll be in good hands." "Hurry." "We've got to be in Guanaray when those planes arrive." "Yes, Solano." "I'm hurrying." "Not bad." "Yes." "Very comfortable." "Come on, Diana, let's relax." "We're home free." "It doesn't seem to me we're home free as long as those planes are in the air." "Look, I know you don't drink ordinarily... but if I called the liquor store down the corner, perhaps we could" " How did you know that I don't drink?" " I just assumed." "It's true that I don't... but I don't recall that subject ever coming up between us." "All right." "I assumed." "Relax." "Take it easy." "We owe ourselves a little vacation, some fun." "What are you doing?" "Come on, you're all grown up." "You can figure that out, can't you?" "Maybe we ought to say good night." "Oh, no." "It's been a long, successful evening, but it's not over yet." "Isn't it?" "Steve, please." "Remember when you told me that story... about how your father got that scar on his leg from a 20 mm shell?" "Yeah, sure." "What about it?" " And who cares?" " I do." "And so does the real Steve Trevor." "What are you talking about?" "That scar was on his shoulder." "It wasn't on his leg." "Aren't we clever?" "Only now, we got a problem, honey." "I'm afraid I can't let you spread that word around." "Open the door." "Come on, I was only kidding." "Leave the girl alone." " Who are you?" " Never mind who I am." " Where's Steve Trevor?" " It's none of your business." "Where is Steve Trevor?" "And where did you send the cargo planes?" "Answer me!" "Solano's estate, outside Arlington." "41 Rivercrest Road." "And where did you send the cargo planes?" "Guanaray." "Rio Seco mine site." "He carved out an airstrip there." "It's too late." "They're gone." "Relax, hero." "It'll all be over in a few hours." "You mean, when the cargo planes land in Guanaray?" "That's right." "Then you can go back to the office and explain everything." "Am I glad to see you." " Solano?" " Yeah." "He rigged a double of me." "Yes, I know." "And diverted the cargo planes to Guanaray." "He cut out an airstrip at some place called the Rio Seco mine." "I know where that is." "Maybe I can call them back." "There's still time." "They should be off the coast of Panama right about now." "It'll be daylight in a few minutes." "Mayday, Mayday." "This is Steve Trevor, calling Operation Eggshell." "Come in, Eggshell One." "Over." "Eggshell One request code clearance and fail-safe." "Barry, this is Steve Trevor." "Code clearance, fail-safe." "It's Gaines." "Code:" "Toro." "Cordillera." "Mar. Level:" "Montana." "There is no fail-safe." "Barry, you've been suckered." "This is your authorization to change course." "Over." "No can do, Steve." "We're locked in." "You gave us our orders." "You know that." " Your double." " He's not gonna believe that." "All right, Major." "This is an override." "I am ordering you" "I've got my orders." "Eggshell One, out." "Eggshell, come in." "Barry." "Nuts!" "They're gonna be landing in about an hour with Solano waiting for them." "Steve, you said you know where this Rio Seco mine is?" "Sure." "It was a possible site for the nuclear plant." "Why?" "The man who impersonated you is tied up in Diana Prince's apartment." "We should go there now." "Of course." "He'd know the fail-safe code." "He briefed the pilots before takeoff." "That's right." "But if you stop this mission, Solano might get away." "I can't help it, Wonder Woman." "I'm responsible for the lives of those men and that cargo." "I understand that, Steve." "But I've got a plane that can get us to the island ahead of the cargo planes." "You have?" "Well, what's keeping us?" "Getting nervous?" "It's been a long night, and a long day." "The best is yet to be." "What are you doing here?" "How did you get here?" "Well, I'm looking for you." "Believe it or not, I got here in an invisible plane." "What are you talking about?" "I'd listen if I were you, people." "It's over, Doctor." "Astounding." "I think we have a stand-off." "But I must confess, I've almost looked forward to this meeting." "If I have to go, I'd almost like you to be the instrument." " But I can give you a way out." " What do you mean?" "I challenge you to a duel." "One-on-one with sabers." "No, Wonder Woman." "He has to be an expert, or he wouldn't challenge you." "Winner take all." "Agreed, if she and the others put down their guns." "My dueling sabers, the finest blades on earth." "Don't do it." "Can't you see this is a setup?" "Don't worry, Steve." "It's a robot!" "I want her eliminated." "She's won." "Let's get out of here." "Once that atomic pile blows, the whole mountain will go." " Our men are there." " Victory is always born out of sacrifice." "Everybody, run." "This is Trevor calling Operation Eggshell." "Come in, Eggshell One." "Eggshell One, request Code Clearance and fail-safe." "Code:" "Toro." "Cordillera." "Mar. Level:" "Montana." " Fail-safe?" " Fail-safe:" "Capsize." "Roger." "Alter your course to the original destination." "Your fuel supply is sufficient to get you to Samarra." "Over." "Roger." "Eggshell One, out." "Well, at the very least, you've averted an international disaster... and put an end to Doctor Solano." "I wonder." "Thank you very much, sir." "I'm afraid that would be difficult." "She finds us." "It's not the other way around." "Yes, sir." "Goodbye." " The White House pleased?" " Seems to be." "In fact, if we could get Wonder Woman to the South Lawn... he'd pin a medal on her himself." "I don't think she's interested in medals." "I think she came back to help you." "Us." "Let's hope she comes around again." "I think you can count on it."
