And your chance won't be denied
Woman of the hour

You're a wonder

Boy, it's supposed to be a hot one. The middle of the night...
Middle of the night in Washington, D.C., Steve.
It's 1:00 p.m. in Moscow, 12:00 noon in Tokyo,
and 11:00 a.m. in Dar es Salaam.
10:00 a.m. in Dar es Salaam, Joe.
10:00 a.m. in Dar es Salaam. My point exactly.
Once, just once, I'd like to get them out of bed.
...one, zero.
You are watching the last lift-off
supervised by Dr. Kenneth Wilson.
This, as you probably know, is Dr. Wilson enjoying that event.
For 14 years, Dr. Wilson led that portion of our space program
which determined who an astronaut was
and what had to be within his brain if he were to get to the moon
which we accomplished.
And more.
But he's retired now, sir.
A man's mind doesn't retire, Joe.
Don't we have a general update, Diana?
Yes, we do. When he left government service,
he joined the Washington Institute of Research.
More recently, I believe he's, uh, gone
even deeper into his studies of the mind,
become convinced that matter itself can be moved by brain waves.
- Psychokinesis. - Mmm-hmm.
Then it's possibly an even graver situation.
How do you mean, sir?
One hour and 15 minutes ago, Dr. Wilson, his assistant,
and a third man vanished from his offices
in the Washington Institute of Research
without a trace.
Mmm-hmm.
Wow.
This place looks like it was hit by a cyclone.
- What time did you discover this? - 0300 hours, sir.
I heard a loud noise in this room when I was in the one directly below it.
It must have been this bookcase falling.
Boy, it'd take five men to knock that thing over.
When I checked earlier, the only people in the room were Dr. Wilson, Mr. Ishida,
and Mr. Taft, Dr. Wilson's assistant.
Who's Ishida?
He's been working with Dr. Wilson the last three months.
Japanese national?
His clearance came from the Japanese Embassy.
He's a landscape artist conscripted by Dr. Wilson
with some kind of ESP or something.
What time did they check in?
At 0130 hours, miss.
Is it possible that they could have used some other exit?
No, miss.
We have every exit covered 24 hours a day.
The grounds are crisscrossed with laser beams.
If anyone walked across the grass without checking in, we'd nail them.
Dice, cards, boxes...
They're all instruments for checking ESP.
It's hard to believe man's going to be
able to move mountains with his mind someday.
Well, who's to say?
They laughed at the Wright Brothers until their plane took off.
How do you suppose they got out of here?
What's that?
That's the alarm bell to the basement storage vault.
It can only be activated from within.
If somebody's trapped in there, we can't get in there until 8:00 a.m.
- A time lock? Who installed it? - Headly and Billings.
Diana, see if you can get them on the phone.
Get a technician over here right away.
Right.
Please, hurry. Hurry, I'm suffocating.
No, no, you're not suffocating. There's plenty of air in there.
Just breathe slow and easy.
I suffer from claustrophobia.
I can't stand being confined.
I can't breathe!
Hey, relax, will you?
I know what you're going through.
But we've got an expert on his way over here to get you out.
And we will get you out. Just conserve your energy.
I'll try.
All right. Don't worry. We'll be right here.
Good, then I can tell them you're on your way?
Thank you.
Even with a technician, it's going to take time.
He may be running out of time.
Sounds like he's about 30 seconds from shock.
Wonder Woman!
Hi, Steve. Can I help?
- You sure can, but how did you know? - Later. What's the problem?
We've got to get this vault door open. There's a man trapped in there.
It's a time lock. We have a technician...
Don't worry.
All right, okay. It's all over now.
You'll be all right. Here, sit in this chair.
Whoa.
Maybe you'd better take it from here, Steve.
Okay, but what if we need your help on this one?
I won't be far away.
You all right, pal? What happened?
You were with Dr. Wilson tonight, weren't you?
Very briefly.
I...
I was working next door to Dr. Wilson's office
where he conducts his experiments
when I heard this noise, like a thump
between the walls between our rooms.
I didn't think much about it then
until I heard something really loud fall to the floor.
I went next door, I didn't even knock. I just walked in, and...
- And what? - I don't know.
All of a sudden, someone...
Something grabbed me,
turned me around and put something over my mouth.
I tried to turn around, but I couldn't, so all I could see was a wall.
Then, the next thing I knew, I was down here,
the vault door opened,
and I was shoved in there, and then the door slammed shut.
Why didn't you sound the alarm earlier?
I guess I blacked out.
As I said, I can't take confinement, darkness.
But, Mr. Taft, there is no way to open that vault door.
Then you tell me how I got in there.
Hey, hey, hey, it's all right. Look, we're not doubting your word.
But can you tell us anything about what happened to Dr. Wilson
and, uh, this man, Ishida?
No, I didn't see a thing. But have you looked at the tapes?
Tape? What tape?
Dr. Wilson always kept cameras in his lab
to make tapes of his experiments, for his records.
Like this one?
Diana, where'd you find that?
After I made the call, I had a look around.
But there's no playback machine up there,
probably for security reasons.
What happened here?
This man was trapped in the vault. Wonder Woman got him out.
- Wonder Woman? - Yeah.
Wow, that's amazing.
She usually is.
We better get this tape back to the office.
Steve, there's so much to do. Why don't we divide up this job?
That's a good idea.
Okay, uh, I will visit Wilson's family and Ishida.
I found his address in the files.
- Good. I'll see you later. - Okay.
Thanks for your help.
Are you sure you're all right?
I just need rest, lots of rest.
I know my story sounds incredible.
But you were in the vault.
That should do it.
Start the tape, please.
Concentrate.
It won't move.
I am not strong enough.
Oh, yes, you are, Ishida. You can move it.
You must let the brain wave amplifier help you.
Now, try again, and concentrate.
Concentrate harder.
There, you see? You did it.
I did it.
Now, try harder.
Concentrate.
Eleven!
Try again.
Seven!
Eleven!
Now, we must try something else.
Uh, a book. Any book.
A chair!
I knew we could do it!
Now, let's see, I have to call the Pentagon.
This is an incredible breakthrough.
You will not call anyone.
You made this machine for me.
