Wonder Woman (2017)

[bunniefuu]

DIANA : I used to want to save the world.

This beautiful place.

But I knew so little then.

It is a land of magic and wonder.

Worth cherishing in every way.

But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness simmering within.

And mankind? (CHUCKLES)

Mankind is another story altogether.

What one does when faced with the truth is more difficult than you think.

I learned this the hard way.

A long, long time ago.

And now,

I will never be the same.

Merci.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hello, Diana.

AMAZON : Hello, Diana. Hello.

MNEMOSYNE : Diana! (GASPS)

Diana!

(PANTING) - Come back!

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

It looks very good. Very good.

How is she doing?

She's good.

Keep working with her. I will.

Naomi.

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

(YOUNG DIANA GRUNTING)

MNEMOSYNE : Diana!

Diana, I see you.

Where are you going? Slow down!

(GRUNTS)

(CHUCKLES) Hello, Mother.

How are you today?

HIPPOLYTA : Let's get you back to school before another tutor quits.

YOUNG DIANA : But don't you think it's time to start my training?

Antiope thinks I'm ready.

HIPPOLYTA : Does she?

I could begin showing her some things.

She should at least be able to defend herself.

From whom?

In the event of an invasion.

HIPPOLYTA : Isn't that why I have the greatest warrior in our history leading an entire army, General?

I pray a day will never come where she has to fight.

But you know, a scorpion must sting, - a wolf must hunt— She is a child.

The only child on the island. Please let her be so.

YOUNG DIANA : But, Mother...

There will be no training.

YOUNG DIANA : What if I promised to be careful?

It's time to sleep.

What if I didn't use a sword?

Fighting does not make you a hero.

Just a shield then. No sharp edges.

(SIGHS) Diana, you are the most precious thing in the world to me.

I wished for you so much so, I sculpted you from clay myself and begged Zeus to give you life.

You've told me this story.

Which is why tonight I will tell you a new one.

A story of our people, and my days of battle.

Yes!

So you will finally understand why w*r is nothing to hope for.

Long ago, when time was new and all of history was still a dream, the Gods ruled the Earth, Zeus king among them.

Zeus created beings over which the Gods would rule.

Beings born in his image, fair and good, strong and passionate.

He called his creation "man." And mankind was good.

But Zeus's son grew envious of mankind and sought to corrupt his father's creation.

This was Ares, the God of w*r.

Ares poisoned men's hearts with jealousy and suspicion.

He turned them against one another and w*r ravaged the Earth.

So, the Gods created us, the Amazons, to influence men's hearts with love and restore peace to the Earth.

And for a brief time, there was peace.

ANTIOPE : But it did not last.

Your mother, the Amazon Queen, led a revolt that freed us all from enslavement.

When Zeus led the Gods to our defense, Ares k*lled them one by one, until only Zeus himself remained.

HIPPOLYTA : Zeus used the last of his power to stop Ares, striking such a blow, the God of w*r was forced to retreat.

But Zeus knew that one day, Ares might return to finish his mission.

An endless w*r, where mankind would finally destroy themselves, and us with them.

ANTIOPE : So Zeus left us a w*apon, one powerful enough to k*ll a God.

HIPPOLYTA : With his dying breath, Zeus created this island to hide us from the outside world, somewhere Ares could not find us.

And all has been quiet ever since.

We give thanks to the Gods for giving us this paradise.

And the Godkiller?

The Godkiller?

The w*apon that's strong enough to k*ll a god.

Can I see it?

The Gods gave us many gifts.

One day, you'll know them all.

This great tower is where we keep them.

The Godkiller.

It's beautiful.

Who would wield it?

I pray it will never be called to arms.

But only the fiercest among us even could.

And that is not you, Diana.

You see, you're safe, and there is nothing you should concern yourself with.

(METAL CLANGING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

You keep doubting yourself, Diana.

No, I don't. Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

You are stronger than you believe.

You have greater powers than you know.

- But if you don't try hard... HIPPOLYTA : Diana!

Are you hurt?

No, Mother, I'm fine, I was just— Training.

It seems I'm not the revered queen I should be.

Disobeyed, betrayed by my own sister...

No, Mother. It was me, I asked her to...

Take her to the palace.

Off you go.

You left me no choice, Hippolyta.

You neglect your duty if she cannot fight.

You speak of a time that may never come.

He might never return.

He could have d*ed from his wounds.

Ares is alive.

You feel it, as I do, in your bones.

It is only a matter of time before he returns.

The stronger she gets, the sooner he'll find her.

Hippolyta, I love her as you do.

But this is the only way to truly protect her.

(SIGHS)

You will train her harder than any Amazon before her.

Five times harder, ten times harder.

Until she is better than even you.

But she must never know the truth about what she is or how she came to be.

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Harder.

- You're stronger than this, Diana. (PANTING)

Again.

(YELLS AND GRUNTS)

Never let your guard down.

You expect the battle to be fair.

A battle will never be fair.

Antiope!

Lay still.

You are bleeding.

DIANA : I'm sorry... ANTIOPE : Wait, Diana, wait.

What have I done?

I'm sorry.

(PANTING)

(AIRPLANE ENGINE WHIRRING)

(GRUNTING)

(GASPS)

(MUFFLED GRUNTING)

(MAN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

MAN : Where did this fog come from?

There. Go forward!

(SOLDIERS SHOUTING IN GERMAN)

GERMAN SOLDIER : There he is! The pilot! I can see him.

He's there! (SOLDIERS SHOUTING)

(STEVE COUGHING)

(PANTING)

Wow.

You're a man.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Yeah. I mean...

Do I not look like one?

Where are we?

Themyscira.

Therma-what?

Who are you?

(SOLDIERS SHOUTING IN GERMAN)

I'm one of the good guys, and those are the bad guys.

What?

The Germans. Come on, we need to get out of here.

The Germans? HIPPOLYTA : Diana!

Step away from her, now!

AMAZON : Ready your bows!

They have g*ns, right?

Fire!

Fire!

Come on!

(SOLDIERS GROANING)

(DIANA PANTING)

(GASPS)

(AMAZONS SHOUTING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(ALL YELLING)

(GROANING)

Stay there!

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

(g*nshots)

Shield!

No!

No!

DIANA : No.

No, no. Antiope. Antiope. (GROANING)

Antiope, hey. Hey, hey.

Hey.

Diana. Be still.

The time has come.

You... You must...

What? What, Antiope?

Godkiller.

Diana, go... Go where?

Go where? Go...

No, please, no. No. No!

No, no, no.

No! (SOBBING) Antiope!

No!

You. DIANA : No.

No, Mother, no.

He fought at my side against the invaders.

What man fights against his own people?

These aren't my people. Then why do you wear their colors?

I can't tell you that.

You need to tell us now!

What is your name?

I can't tell you that either.

We should k*ll him now, and be done with it.

If he dies, we know nothing about who they are, and why they came.

My, uh, (CLEARS THROAT) name is Captain Steve Trevor, pilot, American Expeditionary Forces.

Serial number 8141921.

That's all I'm at liberty to... (GROANS)

Assigned to British Intelligence.

What the hell is this thing?

The Lasso of Hestia compels you to reveal the truth.

But it's really hot.

It is pointless, and painful, to resist.

What is your mission?

Whoever you are, you are in more danger than you think.

What is your mission?

I am a...

(CLEARS THROAT)

I am a...

(STRAINING)

I am a spy.

(PANTING)

I'm a spy. I'm a spy.

British Intelligence got word that the leader of the German Army, General Ludendorff, would be visiting a secret m*llitary installation in the Ottoman Empire.

I posed as one of their pilots, and flew in with them.

According to our intel, the Germans had no troops left, no money, no munitions of any kind.

But our intel was wrong.

The Germans had the Turks building bombs for them.

And not just bombs, new weapons.

Secret weapons.

Invented by Ludendorff's chief psychopath, Dr. Isabel Maru.

The boys in the trenches called her "Dr. Poison."

And for good reason.

(MAN GASPING)

(GROANING)

(GRUNTS)

STEVE : From what I could tell, if Dr. Maru was able to complete her work, millions more would die. The w*r would never end.

I was there to observe and report, nothing more, but I had to do something.

DR. MARU : I'm so close.

I know I can make the gas penetrate the mask.

I just... I need more time.

Unfortunately, Doctor, we do not have more time.

This work, this...

Get that man!

There!

(ALARM BLARING)

(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

(GRUNTS)

(g*nf*re)

But if I can get these notes back to British Intelligence in time, it could stop millions more from dying.

It could stop the w*r.

w*r? What w*r?

The w*r.

The w*r to end all wars.

Four years, 27 countries, 25 million dead, soldiers and civilians.

Innocent people, women and children slaughtered.

Their homes and their villages looted and b*rned.

(GROANS) Weapons far deadlier than you can

(EXHALES) ever imagine.

It's like nothing I've ever seen.

It's like the world's going to end.

Should we let him go?

And risk him bringing more men to our shores?

We cannot hold him forever, my queen.

Mother. Excuse me, but after everything the man said, this must be Ares.

What are you talking about, child?

Forgive me, Senator, but the man called it "a w*r without end."

Millions of people already dead.

Like nothing he's ever seen.

Only Ares could do such a thing.

We cannot simply let him go. We must go with him.

I will not deploy our army and leave Themyscira defenseless to go and fight their w*r.

It is not their w*r.

Zeus created man to be just and wise, strong and passionate...

That was a story, Diana!

There is much you do not understand.

Men are easily corrupted.

Yes, but Ares is behind that corruption!

It is Ares who has these Germans fighting.

And stopping the God of w*r is our foreordinance.

As Amazons, this is our duty.

But you are not an Amazon like the rest of us.

So you will do nothing.

As your queen, I forbid it.

EPIONE : Strange.

Is it true you saved his life?

Who told you that?

He did.

(STEVE GRUNTS)

Whoa! I...

I didn't see you come in.

Would you say you're a typical example of your sex?

I am

above average.

What's that?

It's a...

Oh! Um...

It's a watch. (CLEARS THROAT)

A watch?

Yeah, it's a watch.

It tells time.

My father gave it to me.

It's been through hell and back with him.

Now it's with me, and good thing it's still ticking.

What for?

Because it tells time.

When to eat, sleep, wake up, work. (DIANA CHUCKLES)

You let this little thing tell you what to do?

Yeah.

Can I ask you some questions?

- Where are we? Themyscira.

No, I got that before. But I mean, where are we?

What is this place? Who are you people?

Why does the water do that?

How come you don't know what a watch is? How come you speak English so well?

We speak hundreds of languages.

We are the bridge to a greater understanding between all men.

Right.

You know, I didn't get a chance to say this, uh, earlier, but thank you for dragging me out of the water.

Thank you for what you did on the beach.

So, you're here to let me go?

I tried, but it's not up to me.

I even asked them to send me with you.

Or anyone.

An Amazon.

The Amazons.

The Amazons?

It is our sacred duty to defend the world.

And I wish to go.

But my mother will not allow it.

Well, (SIGHS)

I can't say I blame her. (ZIPPING)

The way this w*r is going, I wouldn't want to let anyone I care about near it.

Then why do you want to go back?

I don't think "want" is the word.

I guess I gotta try.

My father told me once, he said, "If you see something wrong happening in the world, "you can either do nothing, or you can do something."

And I already tried "nothing."

(EXHALES)

(GRUNTS)

(COW GRUNTS)

(MOOS)

(STRAINING)

(SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

Nice outfit.

Oh, thank you.

Now, I will show you the way off the island and you will take me to Ares.

Deal.

STEVE : I'm leaving in that?

DIANA : We are.

Yeah, we're leaving in that?

Do you not know how to sail?

Of course I know how to sail.

Why wouldn't I know how to sail? It's just...

It's been a while.

(HOOVES THUNDERING)

I'm going, Mother.

I cannot stand by while innocent lives are lost.

If no one else will defend the world from Ares, then I must.

I have to go.

I know.

Or at least I know I cannot stop you.

There is so much...

So much you do not understand.

I understand enough.

That I'm willing to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Like you once did.

You know that if you choose to leave, you may never return.

Who will I be if I stay?

This belonged to the greatest warrior in our history, our beloved Antiope.

Make sure you are worthy of it.

I will.

Be careful in the world of men, Diana.

They do not deserve you.

You have been my greatest love.

Today,

you are my greatest sorrow.

Should you have told her?

The more she knows, the sooner he'll find her.

How long until we reach the w*r?

The w*r? Which part?

The Western Front in France is 400 miles long from the Alps to the North Sea.

Where the fighting is the most intense, then.

If you take me there, I'm sure I'll find Ares.

Ares? As in, the God of w*r?

The God of w*r is our responsibility. Only an Amazon can defeat him.

With this.

(SIGHS)

And once I do, the w*r will end.

(METAL CLANGS)

(STEVE CLEARS THROAT)

Look, I appreciate your spirit, but this w*r is...

It's a great big mess.

And there's not a whole lot you and I can do about that.

I mean, we can get back to London, and try to get to the men who can.

I'm the man who can!

And once I find and destroy Ares, the German armies will be freed from his influence and they will be good men again, and the world will be better.

Great.

You'll see.

What are you doing?

Oh, I thought maybe you'd want to get some sleep.

And what about you? Are you not sleeping?

Does the average man not sleep?

(STAMMERING)

Yes, we sleep. We just don't sleep with, uh...

You don't sleep with women?

No. I mean, I do sleep with... I sleep with... (CHUCKLES)

Yes, I do.

But, out of the, uh, (CLEARS THROAT) confines of marriage it's just...

It's not polite to assume, you know?

"Marriage"?

Marriage. Do you not have that on...

You go before a judge and you swear to love, honor and cherish each other until death do you part.

And do they? Love each other till death?

Not very often, no.

Then why do they do it?

I have no idea. (CHUCKLES)

So, you cannot sleep with me unless I marry you.

I will sleep with you, if you want. I'll sleep right there.

There's plenty of room.

Then, fine, if you don't mind... No, it's up to you.

I know it's up to me, I'm making the choice. I will come sleep with you.

(CHUCKLES) Okay.

STEVE : Yeah, just...

Okay.

(EXHALES)

You know, where I come from, I'm not considered average.

You know, being a spy, you have to show a certain amount of

vigor.

Have you never met a man before? What about your father?

I had no father.

My mother sculpted me from clay and I was brought to life by Zeus.

Well, that's neat.

Sorry.

Where I come from, babies are made differently.

You refer to reproductive biology.

Yes, yes. Yeah, I know.

I know all about that.

I mean, I refer to that, and other things.

The pleasures of the flesh.

Do you know about that?

I've read all 12 volumes of Clio's Treatises on Bodily Pleasure.

All 12, huh? - Mmm-hmm.

Did you bring any of those with you?

You would not enjoy them.

I don't know. Maybe.

No, you wouldn't.

Why not?

They came to the conclusion that men are essential for procreation, but when it comes to pleasure, (SIGHS) unnecessary.

No, no.

Good night.

Night.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN GERMAN)

How long until we are operational?

Two days, sir.

You have until tonight, Captain.

Sir, the men have had no food, no sleep.

Do you think I have had any food or rest, Captain?

Do you hear me making excuses?

No.

Your men are weak, complacent.

You've let them forget that an att*ck can happen at any time, from any quarter!

So, let's you and I remind them, shall we?

Doctor. DR. MARU : General.

Progress?

Not enough.

It is over, General.

Germany is giving up.

Von Hindenburg has recommended the Kaiser sign the armistice.

We have run out of time.

As soon as the Kaiser sees the newest w*apon, he will not sign the armistice.

But, without my book...

We will get your book!

It is you that I believe in. Not it.

I know that you can, and will, succeed. Hmm.

It is what you were put on this earth to do.

Something did come to me last night.

A different type of gas.

For you.

To restore your strength.

(GRUNTING)

(SNIFFS)

I've got it. I've got it!

And if it's what I think, it's going to be terrible.

(SHIP HORN BLOWS)

STEVE : Morning!

We got lucky, we caught a ride. We made some good time.

Welcome to jolly old London!

It's hideous.

Yeah, it's not for everybody.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(HORN HONKING)

OFFICER 1 : Morning, darling. OFFICER 2 : What a beauty.

OFFICER 3 : Hello, beautiful!

Gentlemen, eyes to yourself. Thank you so much.

Come on! Come on.

Why are they holding hands?

Uh, probably because they're together.

No, no, no. We're not together. I mean, in that way.

This way.

(SIGHS) To the w*r!

Well, technically, the w*r is that way. But we gotta go this way first.

And where are we going?

We gotta get this notebook to my superiors.

Hey, hey, hey!

No, no, no. I let you go, you take me to Ares.

We made a deal, Steve Trevor.

And a deal is a promise.

And a promise is unbreakable.

Oh, boy. Damn it. All right.

You come with me first to deliver this, and then we'll get you a ticket, uh... (CLEARS THROAT) to the w*r.

Deal?

Let's go. Diana...

What are you doing?

You can't do that because you're not wearing any clothes.

Let's go... Let's go buy you some clothes.

What do these women wear into battle?

They don't, uh... (BABY CRYING)

(GASPS) A baby!

No, no, no. No babies. Oh... Oh...

No, please. No babies.

That one's not made out of clay.

Come on.

Diana! Please.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(GASPS AND CHUCKLES)

Thank God! You're not dead! (GIGGLES)

(GRUNTING)

Hoorah and huzzah!

I did think you were dead until I got your call, you know?

He's been gone for weeks. Not a single word.

Very unlike him.

I'm introducing myself. It's Etta Candy.

I'm Steve Trevor's secretary.

What is a secretary?

Ooh! Well, I do everything.

I go where he tells me to go, and I do what he tells me to do.

Well, where I'm from, that's called sl*very.

(GASPS) I really like her.

Fantastic. Ladies, after you.

Oh, I do, I like her.

ETTA : And it does rather feel like that, except the pay is very good.

We've got our work cut out for us, haven't we?

Is this what passes for armor in your country?

(STAMMERS)

"Armor." It's fashion.

Keeps our tummies in.

Why must you keep them in?

Only a woman with no tummy would ask that question.

Conservative, but not entirely un-fun.

Try it on, at least.

Very well.

Ooh! Ah, ah, ah... No! No, no, no.

ETTA : Ooh! (LAUGHS)

(HUMMING)

(CHUCKLES)

(GASPING)

Come on! Oh!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(EXCLAIMING)

DIANA : How can a woman possibly fight in this?

ETTA : Fight?

We use our principles.

I mean, that's how we're going to get the vote.

Although, I am not opposed to engaging in a bit of fisticuffs, should the occasion arise.

Lovely.

Oop!

It's itchy. It's choking me.

Can't say I blame it. (CHUCKLES)

Etta.

Where is she?

Oh, she's trying on outfit number 226.

Miss Candy, the whole point was to make her look less distracting.

May I?

ETTA : Really? Specs?

And suddenly she's not the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?

Better.

(METAL CLANGS) (DIANA GRUNTS)

Yeah, that's not going to work.

Please put the sword down, Diana.

Diana!

Let me try it by myself.

After you, sir. (SIGHS)

(ETTA CHUCKLES)

Etta...

Why don't I meet you back at the office and, meanwhile, I'll take this for safekeeping.

Oh, no, I don't think so.

You gotta put the sword down, Diana. Please.

It doesn't go with the outfit. At all.

Put the sword down, first of all.

(GASPS)

Promise me you will protect it with your life.

(CHUCKLES) Yes... No.

You can trust her. Just hand that over.

Shield. And the shield to her.

There we go. Whoa!

You got it? Thanks, Etta.

This is easy. (CHUCKLES)

Oh. There we go.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

What is it?

Hopefully nothing. Come on.

Steve, why are we hiding? Shh! Come on, come on.

MAN : Captain Trevor.

I believe you have something that is the property of General Ludendorff.

Ah, it's the, uh, bad-guy convention.

(g*n CLICKS) Give us Dr. Maru's notebook.

Where did I put that thing?

(GRUNTS) Stand back!

(GRUNTS)

(GASPING)

Or maybe not. (g*n CLICKS)

(DIANA GRUNTS)

(g*n CLICKING)

(SIGHS) Tough luck. (GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

Is there anything else you want to show me?

Where do you think you're going?

(MAN GRUNTS) (GASPS) Oh!

I'm sorry. But you are clearly under his control.

Diana... Let me help you get free.

Where will I find Ares?

(SIGHS)

He's... He's dead. STEVE : Hmm.

Cyanide.

(INDISTINCT CLAMORING)

Stay here. I'll be right back.

SIR PATRICK : Gentlemen! Gentlemen, please!

The sad truth is, the majority of them don't even know what they're fighting for!

Let him speak!

Yes, thank you. Gentlemen...

Germany is an immensely proud nation.

They will never surrender.

Now, look. The only way to end this w*r...

(WHISPERS) Colonel, I have to talk to you outside.

SIR PATRICK : ...and restore world peace is to negotiate

(STAMMERS) an armistice.

MAN : There's a woman in here. SIR PATRICK : Um...

(WHISPERING) What's she doing in here? Get her out.

Get her out.

Sorry. (CHUCKLES)

Blind sister. She got lost on the way to the bathroom.

I think it's this way. Sorry, guys.

SIR PATRICK : Um... Our only aim at this time must be to achieve peace, at any cost!

(ALL SHOUTING)

Why do they not let him speak? He's talking peace.

Not right now. Sorry.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Trevor, what the hell were you thinking, bringing a woman into the Council Chamber?

The intel that I brought back is time-sensitive.

This is one of Dr. Maru's notebooks.

Notebook or not...

We need to get it to cryptography and I need an immediate audience with the generals.

You do not just barge in here and demand an audience with the Cabinet.

Sir, with all due respect, what I saw in my last mission could change the course of the w*r.

SIR PATRICK : Captain Trevor!

I heard we'd lost you on one of your missions, yet here you are, back from the dead, and I see you've brought a friend with you.

Our deepest apologies for the interruption, sir.

No, no, no. Nonsense.

Thanks to this young woman, the room was finally quiet enough for me to get at least a few words in.

Sir Patrick Morgan, at your service.

Diana, Princess of Themys...

"Prince." Diana Prince.

She is, uh...

And I...

Are...

Working together.

She actually helped me bring this, uh, notebook back here.

That's from Dr. Maru's lab.

I think the information contained inside will change the course of the w*r, sir.

My God.

Dr. Poison, herself. STEVE : Yes.

(GLASS SHATTERS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CLICKING)

(GASPS)

(DR. MARU CHUCKLES)

LUDENDORFF : Yes.

GENERAL HAIG : Intriguing.

Any further intelligence? (DOOR CLOSES)

COLONEL DARNELL : Sadly not, sir. Cryptography have had no luck.

It seems like it's a mixture of two languages, but, as yet, they've failed to determine which two languages.

Ottoman and Sumerian.

Surely, someone else in this room knew that.

Who is this woman?

STEVE : She's my, um, secretary, sir.

And she can understand Ottoman and Sumerian?

She's a very good secretary.

See her out. (ALL LAUGH)

COLONEL DARNELL : Sir, if this woman can read it, we should hear what she has to say.

Yes, very well.

DIANA : It's a formula for a new kind of gas.

Mustard gas. Hydrogen-based, instead of sulfur.

(WHISPERS) Hydrogen-based...

Gas masks would be useless against hydrogen.

The book says they plan to release the gas at "the front"?

When?

It doesn't say.

Wait. "Front" of what?

Sir, that is the evidence we need.

You have to find out where they're making that gas.

You have to burn it to the ground.

Destroy it.

Ludendorff was last seen in Belgium.

We can't be seen sending troops into German-occupied Belgium as we are negotiating their surrender.

STEVE : Sir, I've seen that gas with my own eyes.

If it is used, it will k*ll everyone on both sides.

They will all die.

That is what soldiers do, Captain.

STEVE : Send me in with some logistical support.

At least give me the chance to take out Ludendorff's operation myself.

Are you insane?

I can't introduce rogue elements this late in the game.

Sir, I can...

SIR PATRICK : Now, more than ever, the armistice is of paramount importance.

It must be negotiated, it must be signed, and this is...

Well, it's the best way of stopping the w*r.

Captain, you will do nothing.

And that is an order.

Yes, sir.

I understand, sir.

I don't!

Diana, I know this is confusing...

- It is not confusing! It's unthinkable! Who is this woman?

She's with me. She's with us, sir.

I am not with you!

You would knowingly sacrifice all those lives, as if they mean less than yours!

Diana, let's talk about this outside. As if they mean nothing?

Where I come from, generals don't hide in their offices like cowards.

That's enough! They fight alongside their soldiers.

They die with them on the b*ttlefield!

That's enough! You should be ashamed.

My apologies. Diana... You should be ashamed.

- Diana... All of you should be ashamed!

(DOOR BANGS SHUT)

Please slow down!

That's your leader?

How could he say that? Believe that?

And you! (SHUSHING)

Was your duty to simply give them a book?

No!

You didn't stand your ground! You didn't fight!

Because there was no chance of changing his mind!

This is Ares, and he's not going to allow a negotiation or a surrender!

The millions of people you talked about, they will die!

We are going anyway!

You mean, you were lying?

I'm a spy! That's what I do!

How do I know you're not lying to me right now?

I am taking you to the front.

We are probably going to die.

This is a terrible idea.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

We're going to need reinforcements.

(MUSIC PLAYING IN PUB)

(MAN LAUGHING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

DIANA : These are the reinforcements?

STEVE : Yup.

Are these even good men?

Hmm. Relatively.

Even in Africa, gentlemen, we haven't seen such luxuries.

But the luxury that we have now... It's like we can't stop making money!

So, my uncle, the prince, and I...

Boy! Which prince is that?

I decide to extend the opportunity for a few good soldiers...

STEVE : But, seriously, which prince?

Hey, Sultan Angora Mynx Cashmere, could I talk to you for a minute?

(CHUCKLES) Gentlemen, excuse me one second.

"Bar." Well, a "pub."

You bugger. I have been greasing those peacocks all night, and you...

Oh, my goodness gracious.

That's a work of art.

Sameer, Diana. Diana, Sameer.

Hi, Diana. You can call me Sammy, please.

"Sammy."

Sameer, I wouldn't do that, if I were you.

Sameer's a top undercover man.

He can talk the skin off a cat in as many languages as you can.

I mistook his glass for mine. It happens.

This man is no fighter.

Charlie is an expert marksman.

It means he sh**t people.

From very far away.

(CHUCKLES) They never know what hit them.

(LAUGHING)

So, how do you know who you k*ll if you can't see their face?

I don't. Trust me, it's better that way.

You fight without honor.

Who gets paid for honor? Eh?

So, what's the job, boss?

Uh, two days, tops.

We need, uh, supplies and passage to Belgium.

And what's the going rate?

Better be a good pay.

Yeah, well, here's the thing.

Um, I told you it was going to be quick.

And there's a lot to be gained by this.

So, it's for a great cause...

Uh, freedom...

Hmm.

Friendship,

uh, ending the w*r, friendship...

Okay, you have no money. No.

What is this?

We're going to drop her off at the front.

"Dropping her off"? Yeah.

CHARLIE : Listen, sweetheart, I'm not going to get myself k*lled helping a wee lassie out of a ditch.

We don't need your kind around here.

She did it!

I'm both frightened and aroused.

Oh, here they are! Sorry I'm late. DIANA : Sir Patrick!

Yes, that's what I was going to mention.

Sir Patrick. SIR PATRICK : Oh, no, no, no.

Please, gentlemen, sit. Miss Prince, sit.

I assume you're here planning something that's going to get you either court-martialed or k*lled.

And I assume you're here to stop us.

No.

Not at all, in fact.

Well, look.

I was a younger man, once.

And, had I been in better health, I'd like to think that I might do the same.

ETTA : Hmm.

SIR PATRICK : It's a very, very honorable thing you're doing.

Therefore, I'm here to help.

Unofficially, of course.

What's your plan?

If there's another weapons facility, find it and destroy it.

Along with Ludendorff and Maru.

In that case, to allay suspicion, the charming Etta, here, could, uh, run the mission from my office.

"Run"...

(WHIMPERS)

Also, there's enough here for a few days.

Thank you, sir.

You're very welcome.

Take great care, all of you, and good luck.

A liar, a m*rder*r, and now a smuggler.

Lovely.

Careful, I might get offended.

I wasn't referring to you.

Really?

I went undercover and pretended to be somebody else, sh*t people on your beach, and smuggled a notebook.

Liar, m*rder*r, smuggler. Are you still coming?

It's awful.

That's why we're here.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

DIANA : The gas will k*ll everything.

What kind of w*apon kills innocents?

In this w*r, every kind.

You were absent at the council meeting, General.

I see you are negotiating the terms of the armistice without me.

On the Kaiser's behalf. And on your insistence!

We could easily win this w*r, if only you had a little faith.

VON HINDENBURG : We don't.

There are shortages of food, medicine, amm*nit*on.

Every hour we delay costs thousands of German lives.

One att*ck and the w*r can be ours!

As we speak, my chemist...

We stand against you and your witch.

Ludendorff, enough!

Twenty-four hours from now, this w*r will end.

CHIEF : Who is this?

(SPEAKS INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE)

And I am Diana.

Where did you find her?

She found me.

I plucked him from the sea. STEVE : It's a long story.

We don't have to talk about that right now.

What's there?

(SIGHS) British tea for the Germans, German beer for the British.

And Edgar Rice Burroughs novels for both.

And g*ns!

Well, may we get what we want!

May we get what we need.

But may we never get what we deserve.

So, who do you fight for in this w*r?

I don't fight.

You're here for profit, then?

No better place to be.

Nowhere better to be than in a w*r where you don't take a side?

I have nowhere else.

The last w*r took everything from my people.

We have nothing left.

At least here, I'm free.

Who took that from your people?

His people.

CHARLIE : Don't go...

You're safe. Are you okay?

Diana, we have to go. We need to help these people.

We have to stay on-mission.

The next safe crossing is at least a day away.

What are we waiting for? We cannot leave without helping them.

These people are dying.

They have nothing to eat, and in the village...

Enslaved, she said! I understand that.

Women and children!

We need to make our next position by sundown.

How can you say that? What is the matter with you?

(expl*si*n) This is No Man's Land, Diana!

It means no man can cross it, all right?

This battalion has been here for nearly a year and they barely gained an inch.

Because, on the other side, there are a bunch of Germans pointing machine g*ns at every square inch of this place.

This is not something you can cross. It's not possible.

So what? So, we do nothing?

No, we are doing something. We are.

We just... Steve.

We can't save everyone in this w*r.

This has been such an honor for me, taking your photograph.

Thank you so much.

Not everyone gets to be what they want to be all the time.

Me, I am an actor.

I love acting.

I didn't want to be a soldier.

But I'm the wrong color.

Everyone is fighting their own battles, Diana.

Just as you are fighting yours.

It's too much. I wish you well.

Did you find Ludendorff's operation?

No, no, no. But I located him.

And, oh, lucky you, he's only a few miles away, at German High Command.

STEVE : German High Command, huh?

So, intel reports that Ludendorff is hosting a gala.

A sort of "last hurrah" before the Germans sign the armistice.

And the Kaiser himself is going to be there.

As well as Dr. Maru.

Actually, the gala could be perfect cover.

SIR PATRICK : Captain Trevor. Yes, sir.

You are, under no circumstances, to go anywhere near that gala tomorrow night. Do you hear me?

You'd be jeopardizing everything we've worked for.

You cannot compromise the armistice.

Sir, there will be no armistice... Steve!

...once Ludendorff bombs the entire front line.

Hold on one second, sir.

You shouldn't be bothered about upsetting the peace accord.

Why not? Ares would never let...

What?

What is it?

Of course. It makes complete sense.

Ares developed a w*apon, the worst ever devised.

Ares? You mean Ludendorff. No.

I mean Ares.

Ludendorff is Ares!

Sir, this is our last chance, our final chance to find out where the gas is and to learn how Ludendorff plans on delivering it.

No, no, no. I forbid it.

Do you hear me? I forbid it.

If I'm going to a gala, I'll need to know how to dance.

You're not going to the gala. Of course I am.

No, you're not. Why wouldn't I?

Well, for one, you don't know how to dance.

I would argue that they don't know how to dance.

And, um, they love to wake up and read the paper and go to work.

They get married.

I could get in.

You're not going in. It's too dangerous.

Too dangerous? Yes, too dangerous.

And you're too distracting.

So, look, I'll go in there, and follow them to wherever they're working on the gas or, better yet, where it is.

Then I'm coming with you. - No, you're not!

I don't know.

I would say she was pretty undercover on that b*ttlefield.

Thucydides.

Ah! You know your Ancient Greeks.

They understood that w*r is a god.

A god that requires human sacrifice.

And in exchange, w*r gives man purpose, meaning, a chance to rise above his petty, mortal, little self and be courageous, noble, better!

Only one of the many gods believed in that.

Mmm. And he was wrong.

You know nothing of the gods.

Herr General.

Enjoy the fireworks.

What are you doing?

Out of my way! Diana, look at me.

If you k*ll Ludendorff before we find the gas, we won't be able to stop anything.

But I am not what you thought I was.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

CHIEF : What is it?

(SIGHS) The future.

I am not your enemy, Diana.

I am the only one who truly knows you.

And who truly knows them, as you now do.

They have always been, and always will be weak, cruel, selfish, and capable of the greatest horrors.

All I ever wanted was for the Gods to see how evil my father's creation was.

But they refused.

I am Diana of Themyscira...

So I destroyed them.

...daughter of Hippolyta, and I'm here to complete her...

(DIANA GASPS)

The Godkiller...

My dear child, that is not the Godkiller.

(BLOWS)

You are.

Only a god can k*ll another god.

Zeus left the child he had with the Queen of the Amazons as a w*apon to use against me.

No. You liar.

I compel you to tell me the truth.

I am.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(DR. MARU SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

SIR PATRICK : I am not the God of w*r, Diana.

I am the God of Truth.

Mankind stole this world from us.

They ruined it, day by day.

And I, the only one wise enough to see it, was left too weak to stop them.

All these years, I have struggled alone, whispering into their ears.

Ideas, inspiration for formulas, weapons,

but I don't make them use them.

They start these wars on their own.

All I do is orchestrate an armistice I know they cannot keep, in the hope they will destroy themselves.

But it has never been enough.

Until you.

When you first arrived, I was going to crush you.

But I knew that if only you could see what the other gods could not,

then you would join me, and with our powers combined, we could finally end all the pain, all the suffering, the destruction they bring.

And we could return this world to the paradise it was before them.

Forever.

DIANA : I...

I could never be a part of that.

My dear, I don't want to fight you.

But, if I must...

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

SAMEER : Steve! STEVE : Come on, let's go!

Sammy, let's go!

Get this plane out of here!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(DIANA SHOUTS)

Oh, my dear, you have so much to learn.

(SHOUTS)

(PANTING)

CHARLIE : Oh, my God!

What are we gonna do?

There's not much we can do, if that's who I think it is.

(MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

But we can stop that plane.

CHARLIE : If we can get on the radio, we can ask Flying Corps to sh**t her down.

No. If it crashes, it'll wipe everyone out for 50 square miles!

We gotta ground it!

SAMEER : Bad news. It's on a timer.

If we ground it here, it's the same thing.

Is it flammable, Chief?

Yeah, she said it's hydrogen. It's flammable.

I need you guys to clear me a path to that plane.

No, Steve! Hey, Steve!

Come on!

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(INAUDIBLE)

(MEN GRUNTING)

SAMEER : Come on! This way! Steve!

CHARLIE : Go, Steve, come on. CHIEF : Go!

DIANA : Steve!

CHARLIE : Go, Steve. Come on. SAMEER : Run, run!

(STEVE GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

ARES : Let's see what kind of god you really are.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

You will help me destroy them, Diana,

or you will die.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

SAMEER : Come on, come on. Let's go, go, go!

CHARLIE : Move it, boys! Now! CHIEF : Let's go! Run!

(GROANS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Is that all you have to offer?

It is futile to imagine you can win.

Give up, Diana.

CHARLIE : Guys, I'm out.

Chief! Anything left?

I got nothing.

Anything! SAMEER : No.

(MEN SHOUTING IN GERMAN)

(PANTING)

Steve.

(EXHALES)

(LAUGHING)

(EXHALES)

Steve...

No!

(SOBBING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(GRUNTS)

ARES : Yes, Diana!

Take them all!

Finally, you see.

Look at this world.

Mankind did this, not me.

They are ugly, filled with hatred, weak, just like your Captain Trevor.

Gone, and left you nothing.

And for what?

Pathetic!

(LAUGHS)

He deserved to burn!

(GRUNTS)

(YELLING)

Look at her and tell me I'm wrong.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

She is the perfect example of these humans and unworthy of your sympathy in every way.

Destroy her, Diana.

You know that she deserves it. They all do.

Do it!

STEVE : Diana!

Diana...

(INAUDIBLE)

DIANA : What?

I have to go.

What are you saying?

Steve, whatever it is, I can do it.

No. No.

Let me do it. No.

It has to be me.

It has to be me.

I can save today. You could save the world.

I wish we had more time.

What? What are you saying?

I love you!

You're wrong about them.

They're everything you say, but so much more.

Lies!

They do not deserve your protection!

(CRACKLING)

It's not about deserve.

It's about what you believe.

And I believe in love.

Then I will destroy you!

(CRACKLING)

Goodbye, brother.

(ALL CHEERING)

DIANA : I used to want to save the world.

To end w*r and bring peace to mankind.

But then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light and learned that inside every one of them, there will always be both.

A choice each must make for themselves.

Something no hero will ever defeat.

And now I know that only love can truly save the world.

So, I stay, I fight, and I give,

for the world I know can be.

This is my mission now.

Forever.
