Dr. Quincy arrives at WOOHP at about 7:30AM. He goes over to the Security area, to issue his bulletin.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Doctor? The way it is worded, it means 'dead or alive'!"
"I have no choice, Karly!" he answered sadly. "They are all Public Enemy Number One now, and that is the designation we have to give to anyone who falls into that category, even one of our own!
"But, send out a special set of instruction to all WOOHP personnel, that I want them alive and unharmed, after you issue the APB!"
Karly nods and sends out both sets of instructions. Dr. Quincy then sadly goes to Jerry's old office. Maybe he can find a clue there.
As he sits down, GLADIS says, "Good morning, Doctor!"
"Not so good, GLADIS! I had to issue an APB for the capture of Jerry, Sam, Clover and Alex!"
GLADIS lights whir as she absorbs the info. "If you want to know where they are at, I can tell you!"
"You CAN?" asked Dr. Quincy in astonishment.
"Yes! They took KIRTT and some WOOHP equipment with them. All we have to do is trace the tracker signals!"
"Why, that's GREAT, GLADIS!"
"I know!" replied GLADIS smugly, as she projects KIRTT's tracker signal on the screen behind Jerry' desk.
"Is that thing accurate, GLADIS?"
"Of course, Doctor!"
"It shows the car heading straight for WOOHP! It will be here in five minutes!"
It is 7:55 AM, and Jerry and the gals arrive at WOOHP, with KIRTT. All four are just now snapping out of their stupors.
"MY HEAD!" says Clover. "What happened?"
"I don't know, Clover, but I have a major headache too! And what are we doing in this car?" asks Alex.
"I feel like you both do, girlfriends! What's this all about, Jerry?" asks Sam.
"I don't know myself, Sam! I have a terrible headache as well! I have no idea why we are riding in KIRTT, or where we have been! Let's go to my office! Maybe there is a clue there!"
Jerry parks KIRTT in its special place in the WOOHP garage, and takes a secret entrance up to his office. As he and the girls arrive, WOOHP Security moves in and captures them in a muscle numbing freeze ray, bring all movement below the neck to a halt.
"HERE NOW, What is the meaning of this?" demands Jerry.
Ignoring Jerry, the lead guard says, "All captured and secured, Doctor!"
Doctor Quincy steps forward, and says to the guards, "I'll take it from here! You can leave now!"
"But Doctor, there are four of them, and only you!"
"They are under the freeze ray's power! They are not a threat!"
"Very well!" and all the guards leave the office.
"Quincy, what is going on?" asks Jerry.
"Jerry, we are responding to the robbery you four perpetrated at the California Federal Reserve Bank!"
"That's RIDUICULOUS!" exclaims Clover.
"Is it?" asks Dr. Quincy. "Then do you want to explain these videos from the bank? I've already checked the DNA scan, and brain wave patterns. That really is you! Not clones or robots!"
"But….but we wouldn't DO that!" Alex says as she begins to cry.
"But you DID! That's the facts! I'm afraid I am going to have to hand your four over to the District Attorney's Office, if I can't determine you are innocent!"
"WAIT!" Jerry exclaims. "If we did commit that crime, do a complete physical of each of us to make sure we weren't under any hallucinatory influences!"
"I had planned to do that next, Jerry! But, of course, I need each of you to give me written permission."
"You've got it, Doctor! What have we got to lose, except jail time?" exclaimed Sam.
Dr. Quincy releases the four from the freeze ray, but he also has four armed WOOHP Security guards with him during the tests. First, all WOOHP gadgets were removed from the possession of the four subjects. They are then subjected to brain scans, DNA scans, and lastly blood tests.
The four are waiting for the results of the blood tests; all the other tests confirmed that these are the four perpetrators of the crime.
"It's not looking promising, is it, Quincy?" Jerry asks sadly.
"No, Jerry. So far, every test identifies you positively as the perpetrators of the crime! If the blood test doesn't show anything, I have no choice but to hand you over to the District Attorney!" answered an equally sad Dr. Quincy.
The three gals don't know what to think or do. They are confused, and very frightened. The very people they would trust with their own lives appear to be ready to hand them over to the cops! They have no gadgets to try to escape, and they wouldn't get far anyhow! With four armed WOOHP guards to overcome, and GLADIS ready to trip Condition 66A, they'd never get more than ten feet from Jerry's office! All they can do is wait for the blood test results.
While they wait, an agent excitedly enters the room, brandishing a local newspaper.
"Billings! What is it?" asks Dr. Quincy.
"Look at the headlines, sir!"
The headlines read: FOUR WOOHP AGENTS ROB FED and in smaller print "At Large Criminals Wanted Dead or Alive!" A picture of each of the four accused takes up approximately one-quarter of the rest of the front page.
Dr. Quincy's face turn crimson red with anger. He TOLD the DA that they first must verify that it was, if fact, the four agents who perpetrated the crime, not clones or robots, before he was to release any information about the crime. He quickly goes to a telephone.
"Yes, I want to talk to the DA!…. I don't give a damn WHO he's meeting with! Just tell him to get on the phone! NOW!"
After about three minutes, Dr. Quincy explodes over the phone, "You agreed to keep a lid on this case until we confirmed that it really was the people, and not imposters who committed the crime!
"ARE YOU ACCUSING WOOHP OF FABRICATING EVIDENCE TO CLEAR THESE FOUR?
"Very well! Should we capture them, WE will turn them over to the FBI, IF they are guilty, and IF they are not, YOU'LL have to eat those headlines!" Dr. Quincy slammed the phone down.
"Blasted glory seeking, jerk!" Dr. Quincy said under his breath.
In his LAMOS lair, Terry has 10 copies of the local paper spread out all over his office.
"This is perfect! PERFECT! WOOHP' s image has been irreparably damaged, and Jerry is wanted Dead or Alive!"
One of his underlings interrupts. "Sir?"
"What is it?" Terry barks irritably. He doesn't like his gloating disturbed!
"The DA is on the phone for you!"
Terry picks up the phone.
"Yes! I know you were holding the story up, but the more time you delay, the greater the chance of their escape! You KNOW WOOHP is going to try to hide them until this blows over!
"That's right! You can't trust those clandestine organizations.
"Okay, goodbye!" and Terry hangs up. What's the DA miffed about? Sure LAMOS leaked the story and the pictures, but the DA has the videos! That's enough to convict anyone. Well, at least the DA sees it HIS way now.
Terry chuckles, as he goes back to his gloating!
The blood tests finally come, and Dr. Quincy sadly reviews the results for Jerry, first. It doesn't appear that there is anything unusual. But then his assistant, Carol, notices something.
"Dr. Quincy! Look! A trace of Amzen-3! That's a mind controlling drug that quickly breaks down in the body after 24 hours!"
Dr. Quincy perks up. "Based on the residue, how much was in Jerry's blood 24 hours ago?"
Carol breaks out a scientific calculator and punches up some numbers. "About 100 times the amount now present!"
"And at a concentration of 100 times more, a person could control the recipient of the dosage, couldn't they?"
"For almost 24 hours, they could!"
"That's the evidence we need!" Dr. Quincy excitedly checks Sam, Clover and Alex's blood test results. They too have the same percentage trace of Amzen-3 detected.
"Carol! I want you to extrapolate formal results, and put them in a formal report!"
"Right away, Doctor!" Carol responds enthusiastically, as she goes off to do the formal calculations and the report.
Dr. Quincy walks over to the four waiting suspects. They know something is up, as they saw how excited Carol was. Maybe it is their vindication, they hope?
"I have good news! Traces of Amzen-3 were found in all four of your blood samples. That means someone subjected you to the compound, and took control of your minds!"
The three gals let out a happy cheer, as Jerry says, "That's good! But we aren't clear yet, are we, old friend?"
"Sadly no, Jerry! We must recover the money, and nab the perpetrator or perpetrators. Then you will be cleared!"
"But how will we do that?" asks a frustrated Clover.
"We don't even know where we were!" adds Alex.
"Or who the real criminals are, or where they are!" Sam says sadly.
"Maybe I can help!" interjects GLADIS.
"How?" asks Jerry.
"I have a detailed log of where KIRTT was, as I activated his homing transmitter when you took him. My logic circuits could not resolve the discrepancy between you wanting those suitcases and also wanting KIRTT!"
"Suitcases? WOOHP Suitcases?" asked Dr. Quincy.
"Yes! And I can activate the homing transmitter in them whenever you want!" replied GLADIS.
"GLADIS you are a TREASURE! Activate those transmitters now!" responded Jerry happily. Following KIRTT's route, they can find the criminal's lair, and with transmitters in the suitcases, they can find the money, if they try to escape!
Watching the blips on the screen behind Jerry's desk, they can see that the four suitcases are going in four directions.
"I'll send a WOOHP Crime Lab Team to follow KIRTT's trail. Meanwhile, you four better each track down one of those blips! And remember! Thanks to our dear DA, you're wanted Dead or Alive now, so make sure you disguise yourselves!" said Dr. Quincy.
The four trackers take laser lipsticks (and pen for Jerry), Jetpack Backpacks, digger-jet-ski loafers, homing dart guns, and voice cycles (Jerry's is black).
