Wonder Woman

- 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 let you know if he makes a move.

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

Good.

Rasputin, come.

Come on. Up.

What a good boy.

Good boy. Yes.

Go. 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...

I have a reputation with certain customs officials.

But I'll be along later in the week.

I don't think you'll have 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.

That you should have, ma'am. Because I'm not a shoe repairman.

I'm a cobbler, an expert craftsman, that cannot be rushed in his work.

I came here because my granddaughter insisted you needed the business.

I need nothing from the likes of you,

especially it 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.

All right. Let's have a look.

No wonder you couldn't hear anything. You had a coin in your ear.

Go on with you. And keep that money out of your ear.

- Good night, Pat. - Good night, me darling.

A shoe repairman indeed.

What are you doing?

No, I'm not going in there. 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 kidnapping? 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.

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.

- Where did he go? - How do I know?

United British Airways flight number seven from New York...

is now arriving at gate number 22.

Passenger Richard Alexander...

Flight to Washington.

...Richard Alexander...

...please report to New Continental Airlines' flight desk.

Last can for Trans European flight number 10...

now boarding at gate number 16.

American International flight number four from San Francisco

is now arriving at gate number 31.

United British Airways flight number...

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.

The next time

you better be more careful. Got that?

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

He's just a poor old shoemaker anyway.

That poor old shoemaker has 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.

We've only got until Wednesday.

If we blow this deal with Thackery,

we'll 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.

Lisa, you gave me a fright. You mustn't sneak up on me like that.

I'm sorry.

Is this a new game?

I've got to go away, darling. There's some bad men who are after me.

Do they want your gold?

You're never to mention me gold again. You hear me?

You had no business

peeking in the basement of me shop like you did.

It was a 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 you'll never mention me gold again.

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

All right, fine. Now, be gone. I've got work to do.

Hey, Pat...

- I can't hear anything. - No, I have no time, Lisa.

- Aren't you gonna check my ears? - Lisa, I don't have time.

Okay. Goodbye, Pat.

Oh, Lisa, darling.

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 am.

183, we'll be there.

Yeah, 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.

This really is a nifty idea.

It just doesn't do to be too far from the point of one's departure.

Good thinking. The boys and I have taken accommodation just down the road.

Hey...

Nice.

- His Majesty's Light Horse Brigade. - I saw the movie.

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.

You're gonna melt the gold down, and pass it through as toy soldiers.

That's fantastic.

Mr. Bonelli,

they told me in London that you weren't a really big operator.

You had no leverage, you couldn't handle a really big job. True?

Let's wait and see how this operation works out first. Okay, Mr. Thackery?

You want the gold and I want the plates. It's that simple.

We're to meet Wednesday for the exchange.

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

There is one thing, though. I need another 24 hours.

It would make things a lot easier if we can deliver it on Thursday.

Are you saying you don't have the gold?

No. I have access to it.

It's just that it'd make things easier if I can deliver it on Thursday.

Mr. Bonelli, as these gentlemen will attest,

I've gone to great risk in coming to this country.

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

You've got it all wrong, Mr. Thackery. Everything's ready.

Wednesday, Mr. Bonelli.

Okay. You've got it. Wednesday.

Very good.

Hush and be done with you. "Where're my shoes, Mr. O'Hanlon?"

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

"An irresponsible old man, that's what you are, Mr. O'Hanlon."

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

I won't be caged up with that.

Going somewhere, Mr. O'Hanlon?

First, it's kidnapping. Now it's breaking and entering, is it?

You'll be getting coal in your stockings this Christmas.

Your gold, old man.

Send help here right away, please.

Like he said, the gold, old man.

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.

No, wait.

I'll take you to the gold.

No tricks, old man.

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

till 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 gonna 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.

Please. Can I get out of here now, too?

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

It's the basement I don't like.

Dark and secluded places never did sit well with me.

That's just too bad.

Because I don't know what else I can do with you except...

Leave you down here.

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

- Great. What is it? - Gold robberies,
