Wonder Woman

We've got to stop meeting like this.

Come on, Mary Lou.

We'll never be able to stop meeting like this.

Well, don't think about it.

We have to think about it. Henry, what are we going to do?

I want to get married.

So do I. More than anything.

Look, our parents hate each other, and we're the ones who suffer.

We've got to elope.

Hon, we've been through that.

If I ran off with you, my folks would cut me off without a penny.

No money, no journalism school.

No journalism school, no future.

Of course, I was thinking...

that if we did elope, and then we sold this car of yours...

Are you kidding?

If I ran away with you, my folks would have it repossessed

faster than we could get it out of the garage.

What're we going to do?

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh!

What is it?

It's a UFO, just like the one Jake saw last night!

- What are you doing? - I'm going to get a picture.

No, Henry. Stay here.

Are you nuts? This is the chance of a lifetime.

Henry, no!

No, Henry. Henry!

Where are you going?

Henry?

Please come back.

Terror and tragedy seem quite out of place

in the small, quiet town of Berryville.

Yet for the past week, strange light formations

have violated its night skies.

More UFOs have been sighted here in the last five days

than were sighted in the whole country this past year.

But last night the terror here in Berryville reached new dimensions

when one of its citizens, Henry Wilson

inexplicably, and perhaps tragically, disappeared.

Excuse me.

- Mrs. Wilson? - Yes?

I'm Diana Prince with the I.A.D.C.

I know that you're very upset, but I would like to ask you a few questions.

- Is that all right? - I suppose.

Mrs. Wilson, a few words with you, please.

It was your son who disappeared...

Are we rolling?

It was your son who disappeared in those UFO sightings last night?

Yes.

Could you speak just a bit louder for our cameras, please?

Yes, it was my son Henry.

What makes you assume he was abducted by creatures from outer space?

Henry said he was going to the library.

He's a student at State, you know. He studies so hard.

I know it's very painful, Mrs. Wilson, but please go on.

Henry always walked to the library...

in fact, he walked almost everywhere, especially at night.

But what makes you so sure he was abducted?

Because to get to the library he'd have to pass by that field...

where our neighbor, Jake, saw one of those things the night before.

It's like Henry was just picked up and whisked away by some awful creature.

But what of the fact that your son Henry

may be the world's first intergalactic space traveler?

Isn't that some solace to you, Mrs. Wilson?

Would you hold the picture to our cameras, please?

I just want him back.

He belongs here in Berryville, not out there.

Did you say you were with the government?

Yes, the I.A.D.C. I'm trying to find out about those sightings.

I've been hoping an outsider like you would show up.

Why?

What I know I can't say to anybody in town.

- About this abduction nonsense? - It isn't nonsense.

Henry really was captured by a UFO.

I have proof.

If anyone in town ever found out Henry was in my car last night, my folks would

never be let out of the house again. That's why I have to keep this a secret.

Tape recorder?

Henry's a journalism student. He and his equipment are inseparable.

He says he always wants to be ready for the big story.

You mean, he had this with him when he was carried off by the UFO you saw?

Uh-huh. He must have dropped it. Play it.

The object in front of me is about 14 feet by 20...

made of a metallic substance similar to...

well, it looks like silver rubber.

It's oblong and ringed with blinding red and white lights.

And now... Wait!

Something's coming out of the bottom.

Yes. Beings!

Beings from another planet.

They're small, about five-feet-four.

Grayish, with no features.

They're coming closer.

It's okay.

You see? They really did take him.

Attention. Emergency alert in progress. Please clear the streets.

- Where outside Berryville? - I don't know.

Quit picking your toes and find out!

I'm in Berryville right now,

in case you imbeciles back there have forgotten.

Excuse me. What's going on here?

We're being attacked by a fleet of starships, that's all.

It's the biggest news story since the Flood.

- What? - You don't have a television?

There's a battle going on between us and aliens from outer space

somewhere in these hills, and we're losing.

And we're just sitting here. Come on, Mac.

- How about showing me where a phone is? - Okay. Come on.

Hey, hey! You're not part of a news team, are you?

- When did it start? - About 10 minutes ago.

First it was only on CBS, but now all the networks have a feed.

They're convinced it's for real, Colonel.

I've never seen anything like it.

These starships are annihilating everything in their path.

Nothing can escape their lasers.

The Lord help us an. I don't think anything can stop them.

Yeah. No, not now. Hold all my calls.

This small group of farmers and deputies,

who are making a courageous stand in this field,

are certainly no match for the incredibly devastating weaponry

that is being displayed by this group of aliens.

All right.

We're all on red alert until somebody gets to the bottom of this thing.

Above all, stay calm.

All we know is what we've seen on television.

It's probably some kind of a hoax, or a colossal mistake.

At any rate, we all have our jobs to do, so let's do them.

Bobbie...

I want you to contact the media, especially television...

tell them to bottle this thing up. We don't want mass hysteria.

If they ask for a statement, simply say:

"The government does not confirm any of it."

- Right, Colonel. - Bobbie, one more thing...

I want you to find the television feed that the networks have been picking up.

Already have, Colonel.

Apparently an unlicensed pirate station

in Pennsylvania is relaying the broadcast.

- Where in Pennsylvania? - Just outside Berryville...

where you sent Diana.

The broadcast stopped abruptly about 10 minutes ago,

but according to our satellite sensors,

the feed originated at an unlicensed transmitter

about 9 miles west of Berryville.

I want to hear back from you in exactly one hour.

Is that understood?

Okay. Goodbye.

Diana's trying to locate the people who were broadcasting that battle.

She also said to be on the lookout for a tape

that she had messengered over here.

She wants the lab boys to test its authenticity.

Will do. Meanwhile, there's about 10 zillion people to see you

about this invasion,

one of whom is a UFO man, Colonel Robert Elliot.

- Oh, good. - No, I'll get him.

There's likely to be a riot if you poke your head out there.

Colonel Elliot, he'll see you now.

- Long time, Colonel. - It's nice to see you.

As the airforce's leading expert on UFO's, do you have any theories?

All I can say is I'm on my way to the airport...

then to Pittsburgh, and on to Berryville

for a firsthand look at what we're up against.

Sorry to hear that.

I was hoping you were in on this thing to prove it a hoax.

I'm afraid not.

One of our pilots has spotted what looks like the battle site

in the foothills of the Alleghenies.

That is a fact which, I trust, will go no further than this office.

Of course. You mean there really is an invasion?

Well, again, all I can say is we're facing a situation here

that warrants swift and careful investigation.

Can't the authorities in Pennsylvania handle it?

We haven't been able to reach any of our people there.

The matter is much too delicate

to enlist the state's law enforcement agencies.

We can't risk panicking the public any further.

I'm sorry to blindside you like this, Colonel,

but I couldn't discuss it with you on the phone.

Yeah, I understand.

But let me ask you, are you being sent to Berryville

because of your past work with Project Blue Book

or because of your present involvement with our nuclear weapons program?

Let me put it this way.

My superiors felt that not only was I the best person

to figure out what we're up against

but they also felt I was the best person to figure out how to eliminate it.

I have to go, Colonel.

I just got word that someone in Berryville

was apparently abducted last night by a UFO.

I didn't give it much credence until now.

How did you come by that information?

I sent an agent to see if there was anything to the sightings.

My Lord, they wiped out every last one of them.

A handful of defenseless farmers, county deputies...

destroyed like paper dolls.
