While
Diana Prince
[LYNDA CARTER]
is discussing security details of the next World Peace Conference
with Cl. Dekker
[JEAN-IVAN
DORIN], a boy named
Matthew [TODD
LOOKINLAND] is taking a picture of
the Conference's Secretary Bakru
[ADAM AGELI]
and to his surprise his dead wife appears on it. The boy convinces
Bakru to go along with him but when he gets into the car drops one
of the photographs. The boy suggests Bakru he should meet his uncle
who has the ability to talk to the spirits of dead people and that
they can contact his wife. |
|
Diana, having been told by Decker that she is no longer needed,
leaves to return to the IADC. As she comes outside she sees the car
drive away and notices the photograph on the floor. She gets into
her car and follows them. |
|
Two men who have
been watching her get into their car and set off after her. The car
pulls into a quarry, then turns around and speeds away. As Diana is
about to turn around and follow it the other car pulls up and blocks
her path. She is told to get out of the car, her wrists are tied and
one of the men places her on a conveyor belt while the other
searches her purse and discovers that she is Diana Prince of the
IADC. Diana falls from the conveyor belt to the ground below, as she
rolls down a pile of stones she spins into Wonder Woman. She leaps
back to where her car is but the men have gone. |
|
At the IADC Diana tries to
convince Steve that it is a psychic photograph that they have. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: A psychic photograph? |
|
•
Diana
Prince: There's no other way to explain
it Steve. The woman standing next to Bakru in that picture is his wife,
she died a year ago in a fire. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Well this picture's a fake.
Someone took a picture of an old photo of his wife and then re-exposed
the film. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: No, the lab boys are positive
it's not a double exposure. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Then some other technique was
used to take it. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: No Steve, that picture was
taken with a perfectly normal instant camera under perfectly normal
conditions. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: It's impossible because this is
not a perfectly normal picture. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Maybe it isn't, but it's not an
impossibility either. Now faces of deceased loved ones have been showing
up in photographs next to living people practically since photography
itself has been invented, a hundred years or so. Granted such
photographs are very, very rare but they do exist. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: I still think it's a fake. We
find out who's responsible for this and we just may be able to explain
away over a hundred years of photographic history. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Or we might find someone with
incredible psychic powers. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: What about fingerprints? |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Well, IRAC scanned both sides
of the photograph but he won't have a readout till this afternoon, says
he's booked solid till then. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Humans should be so popular! Oh
by the way Diana, Colonel Decker says that Bakru's disappearance is your
fault. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: What?! Oh, come on Steve, he
dismissed me, said he had everything under control. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Well no matter what he says, I
want you back at the embassy to keep an eye on Deputy Minister Kell and
Ambassador Yamura. Those two, plus Bakru, are the key figures in these
preliminary peace talks. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: What, you think they're all in
danger? |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: I don't know what to think,
this whole thing is very... strange. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: You almost said spooky didn't
you? |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Yeah I guess I did. |
|
Diana
sets off for the embassy so that she can protect
Kell and Yamura. When she arrives Diana is sent
by Decker to Kell's room, unaware that it is a
trap. Matthew takes a picture of delegate
Kell
[HANNA HERTELENDY]
and it appears his dead son Eric on it, he
convinces her to leave with him too. |
|
Diana enters Kell's room and
talks to the person sitting in the chair, then she notices something
fall onto the floor so she reaches down to pick it up and as she does it
emits a white gas. She sees that the person was in fact a dummy then
collapses. Theodora enters, wearing a gas mask. |
|
Matt
leads the delegate to the Psychic Research
Institute where she is introduced to his aunt
Theodora
[KRES MERSKY]
who tells her that the spirits need to talk to
all three delegates about the peace conference
and that they are awaiting the arrival of Yamura
before any more is revealed.
|
|
Due to
Dekker accusations Diana is taken off the
supervising mission. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Agent Marcowitz is on his way
over to the embassy. |
|
•
Colonel
Decker: Which means you no longer need
to worry about the peace talk negotiations. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Steve, I'm perfectly capable of
finding out who abducted those two diplomats. |
|
•
Colonel
Decker: On your last assignment you
were found sleeping serenely on a backroom couch while supposedly
watching deputy minister Kell who disappeared. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Somebody lured me into that
room and chloroformed me to get me out of the way and you know it! |
|
•
Colonel
Decker: No, no, no, there was no odor
of gas in that room, there was only you. Whatever you were sleeping off
it wasn't chloroform. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Steve am I on this case or
aren't I? |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Diana, we've all been anxious
for you to take a little leave time. I mean you've been really working
hard. Why don't you fly to Florida, get a little sun, you can sail,
scuba dive... |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Not until I find out how that
picture was taken, who's got Bakru and Kell and who's trying to get me
out of the way! |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Okay, okay...you leave the name
of the hotel where you'll be staying and we'll let you know the minute
we find out. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Steve you're not going to let
him get away with this are you? If it wasn't for his lax security in the
first place this never would've happened. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: Diana, I'm sorry, it's out of
my hands. Now go, have fun, get a good tan, read a couple of good books. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Don't call us Diana, we'll call
you. |
|
•
Steve
Trevor: The minute we have some good
news. |
|
•
Diana
Prince: Well with him in charge I won't
hold my breath! |
|
Matthew's uncle reproaches him because he lost
of the pictures, and reminds him what is his
function in the Institute. It seems that they
have moved many times, never staying in one
place for too long, traveling all over the
world. |
|
Before
leaving the IADC Diana tries to obtain some
information from IRAC, though she is not
authorized to do so. However IRAC gives her the
information he has, saying as she leaves the
room that Steve said he was not authorized to
give information to Diana but had not banned him
from giving it to Wonder Woman. |
|
Back in
the Institute they are discussing details for
the séance and they also plan to get rid of
Diana Prince and decide to put a bomb in her
car. |
|
Diana spins into Wonder Woman and
challenges them, mortal or otherwise to show
themselves, they disappear. Disguised as a
wealthy widow called Carol Littleton, Diana
infiltrates the Institute and discovers they are
using Matthew's psychic powers in dirty
business. |
|
That
evening on the way to the Institute, Diana's car
engine stops and a wall of fire appears on the
road ahead making in impossible for her to go
on. She gets out of her car hearing ghostly
voices warning her of danger and telling her not
to go on. Diana quickly spins into Wonder Woman and
challenges them, mortal or otherwise to show
themselves, they disappear. Disguised as a
wealthy widow called Carol Littleton, Diana
infiltrates the Institute and discovers they are
using Matthew's psychic powers in dirty
business. |
|
Back at
the IADC Steve discusses the latest events with
Eve
[SAUNDRA SHARP].
Yamura has now disappeared too. They know about
Matthew Koslo and his uncle Lawson Koslo. He's
been successful in using legitimate psychic
phenomena to con people and he is now Matthew's
legal guardian. Steve says he'll ring Diana with
the news but Eve tells him that she tried to
call earlier and there was no answer. |
|
When
Ambassador Yamura arrives at the Institute,
Diana watches him from her bedroom window,
behind her door Matt takes a picture of Diana
where she looks differently and she is forced to
tell him that she is an IADC agent and that his
uncle have been using him because he is such a
special young man. It is difficult for Matt to
believe that his aunt and uncle use his powers
to make people believe what they tell them. She
continues to tell him that his aunt and uncle
are now arranging a séance for the three members
of the peace conference so they can 'talk" to
their beloved deceased. |
|
During the séance Bakru
will talk to his wife, Ms. Kell to her son, and
Yamura to his father. All three will be told to
discontinue the peace conferences. His aunt and
uncle will be paid a handsome price by an enemy
country if the peace conference is called off
and the border wars continue. When he leaves the
room Diana looks at the two pictures he had
taken, which have now developed, one shows her
as Diana Prince, the other as Wonder Woman. She
screws the photo up. |
|
Matthew's uncle sees him leave her room, he
makes him tell him who Diana is and what she is
doing there. He realizes that he'll have to get
her out of the way. Diana leaves her room when
she hears voices, almost a whisper, calling her
name. She walks toward the voices and suddenly
the floor opens up under her feet and she drops
out of sight. She hits the floor, her head
smacks against the wall, she is dazed, her
vision clouds and her eyes close. A pipe in the
wall starts to fill the room with white gas.
|
|
A séance
is in session and in the room are Theodora,
Matt, Bakru, Kell and Yamura. There is total
silence and suddenly a chorus of voices is heard
as the deceased loved ones appear before them.
Eric is telling his mother to cancel the
conference as is Bakru's wife and Yamura's
father. They insist the border wars must
continue. |
|
In the meantime, Diana has regained
consciousness and whirls into Wonder Woman. She
leaps up through the open trap door and takes
off down the hall. When she reaches the control
room, she slowly opens the door and sees Koslo
seated at the control console of a large
machine, pushing buttons and turning dials
mechanically creating the ghostly effects of the
séance. Also on display are video tapes which
are manipulated to effect the images in the
séance room. Wonder Woman enters. She turns the
knobs, pushes up switches and pulls out the
control box and suddenly the ghosts disappear
from the screens. She rips open the drapes and
reveals a horrified Koslo to the people sitting
at the table. He tries to escape but Wonder
Woman grabs his leg and flings him up and onto
his desk. When Theodora tries to escape Matthew
uses his power to lock the door and Wonder Woman
uses her lasso on Koslo to get information about
why the peace conference was to be prevented
from taking place. |
|
The
three members of the conference return to the
meeting and resume negotiations. Diana and Steve
pulled a few strings and get Matt a grant to the
International Science Foundation. And Steve, who
wants to punish Diana for staying on an
assignment she taken off, insists she take a
vacation and hands her a plane ticket, hotel
reservations and official orders to have the
time of her life. She tells him that she doesn't
want to go, that she's not prepared but
everything she says she doesn't have, suntan
lotion, books and a film for her camera, Rover
manages to produce. So she has no choice but to
go. |
