Wonder Woman (1976) s03e21 Episode Script

The New Adventures of WONDER WOMAN That fast? Well, you're going to have to prove it.
The Boy Who Knew Her Secret - Part 2 You must tell me the truth.
I already know you're from another world, and that there are 99 of you.
- Why have you come here? - An enemy is hiding here.
- What kind of enemy? - A murderer.
Eight hundred people on one planet alone died because of him.
Well, you're gonna have to take your little war somewhere else.
If you prevent us from capturing him, others will come.
We have a job to do.
And the souls of the beings we're using cannot return until we've accomplished our goal.
Not one moment before.
All right, who is it that you're after? Whose body is he inhabiting? Answer me.
He's not like us.
He can become whatever he wants, whenever he wants.
Are you telling me you're after someone who can disguise himself as anything or anyone? How are you going to find him? He's in danger as long as we're here.
He'll find us.
You've put me in a very bad position.
I have no choice but to let you and the others go about your business.
However, you will pass the word along that Diana Prince, Skip Keller, and Cameron Michaels have become one of you.
Understood? You're to leave them alone.
And you will also forget everything that we have talked about.
- Skip? - In here.
Cameron, the man who was with me, did he come back? I haven't seen him.
What happened? He can become whatever he wants, whenever he wants.
Let's not talk here.
- Why not? - I'll explain later.
- Is there someplace else we can go? - My hideout.
Right outside of town.
- It's not far.
I'll show you.
- Good.
You're sure they'll leave us alone when they get what they want? - That's what he said.
- How'd you get him to tell you all this? I can be very persuasive when I put my mind to it.
In any case, if we can make them believe that we're one of them they'll leave us alone.
Think you can fake it? It doesn't seem like they communicate telepathically.
Pete or whoever he is now will just think somebody else got to us.
- Which reminds me- - If you don't mind.
I'd like to keep it for myself.
It's the only way I can control things I got.
Okay.
Everything is going to work out just fine.
You have my word.
First thing tomorrow, I'll call Washington and get some outside help, okay? - Time to flip the tape.
- You've been recording all this? It's my diary.
It's better than writing things down where people can see it.
I want to be a writer.
Over here are my notes: two years of stuff I feel, think, see.
I don't ever think I'll be a writer.
It's just something to dream about.
A person becomes whatever he or she really wants to be.
That's a little-known law of nature but if you want to be a writer, you'll be one.
Especially if you keep reading things like Shakespeare, Tennyson Dostoyevsky? Not bad.
I sneaked them out of my dad's library.
I don't want him to know.
I let him and everyone else think I'm a dummy.
Why? In case I never make something of myself, I won't let anyone down.
It's kind of like my secret identity, you know? Only four more to be recovered.
Pass the word to deliver them for assembly as soon as possible.
That's him! He's here spying on us.
He knows it won't be much longer.
Look, operator, I've been trying to call Washington for the past 12 hours.
Don't tell me the lines are still down? Then put me through to an operator in New York and let them patch me through.
So what's the closest city I can call? Spare me the fancy rhetoric, operator.
It's quite obvious what is really going on.
Never mind my name.
I still can't get through.
Seems Crystal Lake is in the middle of the biggest communications breakdown ever.
Two things would make me feel a whole lot better, Doctor.
One is to find out that this communication snarl-up is a coincidence.
It's no coincidence.
It's an extremely well-calculated measure.
A precaution against any outside interference.
The second thing is to hear just what this is all about.
Who doesn't want outside interference? - I can't say.
- You can't say? I can't send in local authorities to help Diana without giving them a reason.
I can appreciate the awkwardness of your position, Colonel.
I should hope so.
You put me there.
But were I to tell you what I know, and were you to believe me the chances are simply too great that word would leak out to the general public.
I believe that the general public has a lot more brains than it's given credit for.
As do I.
But unfortunately, the bureaucrats they've put in office would no doubt find it politically expedient to do something about the situation the consequences of which would be catastrophic.
According to you.
Yes, according to me.
- Yes? - Someone here to see Dr.
Jaffe.
All right, send him in.
There's someone to see you, Doctor.
Here they are, Dr.
Jaffe.
- They were right where you said they'd be.
- Thank you.
Col.
Trevor, my assistant, Cameron Michaels.
It's a pleasure.
- Mel, you've been faking it, too? - Long story.
I've been spying on them, figuring out what they're up to.
It's so good to have someone to talk to- They need those weird rocks for something, I don't know what for.
- But they don't have them all.
- They're not gonna get it, either.
You've got one? Where? I've got it hidden.
I'm gonna use it for a ransom.
- Listen- - Where have you got it hidden? I've got to tell you something.
There's a lady from Washington.
I met her yesterday on the horse trail.
Better keep walking.
We'll meet somewhere later.
So much for finding a phone down the road.
Not this time, you don't.
Just proving a theory, Ms.
Prince.
That's all.
Skip, there are only four more to be recovered.
They must be brought to the old barn at County Line Road immediately.
Yeah, sure.
Mel, we gotta arrange some place to talk, okay? Drop the act, will you? And what's this about the old barn? Sunny.
- Pete was wrong.
Skip's not one of us.
- Don't bother.
He knows too much.
It won't be hard for the others to remove him permanently.
- Who is it? - Cam.
- Where on earth have you been? - Running for my life.
Just like you, right? No need, if you pretend you're one of them.
See, they don't know the difference.
Now you tell me.
I could use a drink.
Of water, I hope.
That's all that's here.
- Do just fine.
- There's some ice water in the pitcher.
Thanks.
If I had known where you were staying- - Care for some? - Thanks.
If I'd known where you were staying we could've gotten together to compare notes.
- That's right.
I never told you, did I? - No, you didn't.
Here you go.
Thanks.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Where are you staying? - A motel.
I could've sworn I tried them all.
- Which one? - Down the road.
You know they have roadblocks set up? I decided that trying to bluff my way past was too risky.
- How've you been getting in and out? - Wasn't difficult.
Sit down, Diana.
Tell me what you've been doing.
I think I would rather have you tell me why you just did that.
You haven't fit all the pieces together yet? Maybe we should review them.
I'm sure the alien you caught up with in the woods yesterday told you that he and all the others are here to capture an enemy from their planet.
Right, Diana? Here, you really should sit down.
I'm sure he told you that this person can change his form at will.
He can become a mouse, or a cat or somebody who's become close to you.
You see, he's quite diabolical, quite ruthless.
Which, I suppose, is the reason why the authorities on his planet are so determined to destroy him.
You still haven't answered my question.
I'm sorry.
The tetrahedrons, when reassembled into the object you saw in the good doctor's sketches can imprison him long enough to return him for sentencing.
It is therefore in his best interest to prevent their reassembly.
How? By compelling our little friend Skip to relinquish the fragment that he has probably by now the only one they need.
And how does he do that? That's right, Diana.
By becoming the only person in the world he and everyone else trusts without question.
Yes, that was me this afternoon testing a little theory I've had since our first encounter in the garage concerning your true identity Wonder Woman.
It could be worse, Diana.
I could kill you.
But it would be so much easier if you simply forgot who you really are.
That's the reason for the hypnotic drug, Diana.
In order for me to become her you're about to forget you're Wonder Woman.
We're only missing one.
One piece and he's ours.
We've scoured every inch of countryside.
By count, all 99 have been recovered.
Yet only 98 are here.
Which means someone who is not one of us has it.
If it's him, we've failed.
We'll be here forever.
In any case, we've got to find out.
No, I'm not surprised.
I'd react the same way if he called me with that kind of request.
No, I can't explain.
That's the whole problem.
Yeah.
Thanks, anyway.
Colonel? Still no word from her, Dr.
Jaffe.
No way to get help to her.
I'm on my way to Crystal Lake.
I thought I'd let you know.
Keep in touch.
If I hadn't distrusted my own findings, I wouldn't have No.
The truth is had I not been so frightened with my own life I would've gone in the first place and spared your agency and your operative.
I'm sorry.
Doctor for whatever reasons you made her go, bring her back.
Hi, Skip.
Come on in.
What are you up to? About 5'9".
- Listen, I've been spying on them- -5'9".
That's cute.
Standard comeback line.
It seems to me they're building a pyramid thing out of those rocks- I'll have to remember that one.
Diana, are you listening? This pyramid thing seems to be some sort of weapon or something.
What are you doing? I'm packing.
I gotta get back to Washington.
- You're leaving? - Yep.
My boss called me and says I have to be back there tonight.
Your boss? I thought you couldn't get through to Washington.
- I didn't.
He got through to me.
- How could he? All the long-distance lines are screwed up.
You told me so yourself.
Skip, I distinctly remember talking to my boss on that phone.
- There's something the matter with you.
- Thanks a lot.
Diana, you can't leave.
You've got to stay here and help me.
You're the only one who can get things back to normal.
Diana, I know you're really- Hi, I'm Bill Keller.
I saw my son's bike outside and thought - You are here.
- Come in.
I'm Diana Prince.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Your mother's been worried sick.
Diana, it's a trick.
I just saw him at the old barn where they're building that thing.
- Skip, is he your father or isn't he? - Yes, but No, he's one of them.
Come on, stop this nonsense, son.
Let's go home.
No.
Diana, please help me.
I don't understand what's happening.
I'm sorry, he's very high-strung.
End of the trail, Skip.
It would've been so much easier if you'd cooperated.
Now it's too late.
You're about to meet with a tragic accident.
There are less than 100 of you.
What're you gonna do, knock off the whole town? The rest of the town doesn't know anything.
They think that it's a virus going around.
But you know better, don't you? Too bad.
Take care of it.
Do it.
You do something to me, you'll never complete that pyramid.
That's right, I've got the 99th piece.
Hidden.
Where? First, we play Let's Make a Deal, right? You can't leave.
You've got to stay here and help me.
You're the only one Who can get things back to normal.
Now that they know I have it, they'll probably never leave me alone.
So I guess I'll deliver it to the place I told Pete, or whoever he is and hope he keeps up his end of the bargain by not having me eliminated.
I don't have a real big choice.
As for Diana, I don't know what happened to her.
It's like, all of a sudden, she turned off to everything going on here.
Like she just didn't care.
Anyway, she's probably gone by now.
Well, here I am.
I've never been so alone in my life.
Man, I never thought I'd see you again.
I came for the rock that you have.
I need to take it with me.
Sure.
Boy, am I glad to see you.
I met Pete up on the bike path and they were gonna get rid of me.
I have promised that I'll give it back to them.
Well, you're safe now.
Will you give me the rock? You were acting so strange back at the motel.
I guess I'd better tell you.
I know your secret.
You what? I found out by accident.
I saw you at the stables when you chased after Pete.
I won't tell anyone, I promise.
Skip, I wanted to tell you Give me the rock, Skip.
Wonder Woman.
I had no idea you kept such company.
Give me the rock, Skip.
Skip, what's wrong? - Skip, what is the matter with you? - I'm just going nuts, that's all.
Everything's upside down, backwards, not the way it's supposed to be and no one's around to explain why.
- Let me try to help.
- You're the worst part, Diana.
One day, you promise you'll end this whole nightmare.
Next day, you act as if you don't know what's happening.
What're you trying to do to me? My boss said there was nothing more to worry about.
Nothing to worry about? My best friend is out to get me, they're out at the barn on County Line putting those rocks into something that's suppose to destroy somebody you're getting long-distance calls on phones that don't work- Skip, calm down.
And I just saw you and Wonder Woman at the same time.
I saw you, Diana.
I saw you change and chase after Pete.
I know you're Wonder Woman.
- That's ridiculous.
- Will you stop it, Diana? Will you stop it and leave me alone? Diana, help me.
I don't understand What's happening.
Skip, neither do I.
Why don't I just get it all over with? It shouldn't be a young boy.
It should be an old man who spent a lifetime watching and listening and unraveling the mysteries of the stars without ever taking part.
Don't! This is the way it should be.
I thought you couldn't get through to Washington.
He got through to me.
All the long-distance lines are screwed up.
You told me so yourself.
So what's the closest city I can call? There's something the matter with you.
My boss said there was nothing more to worry about.
What're you trying to do to me? My boss said there's nothing more to worry about.
You're the only one Who can get things back to normal.
If you prevent us from capturing him, others will come.
My best friend is out to get me.
I distinctly remember Diana, it's a trick.
I gotta get back to washington.
I saw you, Diana.
You see he's quite ruthless.
I saw you change.
That was me this afternoon.
I know you're Wonder Woman.
I could kill you.
I know you're really- You're about to forget you're Wonder Woman.
You fools! Don't you know how many have preceded you have chased me from galaxy to galaxy through eons of time? And to no avail.
You're here to bring me back for sentencing but it's you who've been sentenced! You and all those hapless creatures whose bodies you're using sentenced to death at my hand.
No one will ever capture me.
That remains to be seen.
You see, you didn't get rid of me after all.
You slipped up.
That's what usually happens at the beginning of the end.
The beginning of the end for whom, Wonder Woman? Everybody's okay, but they don't remember a thing.
What are we gonna do? Well, we're not gonna do anything.
I think it's best that everybody forgets everything, don't you? Sure, but I We all need our privacy.
You have your tree house, I have Diana Prince.
Someday, somehow, it could slip out, couldn't it? - Can I still be friends with Diana? - Of course.
In fact, you two will be seeing a lot of each other.
Really? Word is she's gonna be on permanent assignment in Los Angeles by the end of the month.
- We'd make a great team.
- Her thoughts exactly.
- All right.
- All right.
What do you mean you can't tell me about your trip to Crystal Lake? I can't.
I can't remember.
That's just what Dr.
Jaffe said.
How about that? I guess we both can't remember.
Diana, do you realize how frustrating these past three days have been? I had no idea what had happened to you, no way to get in touch, nothing- Steve, I know.
I'm sorry.
But I'm back now and everything's okay.
Seeing as though you are a government employee and your trip to Crystal Lake was financed by the American taxpayers you have a report to dictate.
Good luck.
I'll need it.
It's good to have you back.
You've been recording all this? It's my diary.
It's better than writing things down Where people can see it.
Today I found out that Diana Prince is really Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman? English
