Wonder Woman (2017)
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 shimmering within. And mankind? 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. Yeah.. Si. Previo: Antillan0 Hello, Diana. - Hello, Diana. - Hello. Diana! Diana! Come back! - Looks very good. - Very good. How is she? She's good. - Keep working. - I will. Niobi. Diana! Diana, I see you. Where are you going? Slow down! Hello mother. How are you today? Let's get you back to school, before another tutor quits. But don't you think it's time to start my training? Antiope thinks I'm ready. 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. Isn't that why I have the greatest warrior in our history... ...leading an entire army, General? I pray there will never come when 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. But, mother... There will be no training. What if I promise to be careful? It's time to sleep. What if I didn't use a sword? Fighting does not make you a hero. Just the shield then, no sharp edges. 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'll tell you a new one. The story of our people and my days of battle. Yes! So you will finally understand why war 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' son.. grew envious of mankind... ...and sought to corrupt his father's creation. This was Ares, the God of War. Ares poisoned men's hearts with jealousy and suspicion. He turned them against one another... ...and war 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. 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 defence... ...Ares killed them one by one... ...until only Zeus himself remained. Zeus used the last of his power to stop Ares... ...striking such a blow, the god of war was forced to retreat. But Zeus knew... ...that one day Ares might return to finish his mission. An endless war... ...where mankind would finally destroy themselves... ...and us with them. So Zeus, left us a weapon. ...One powerful enough to kill a god. 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 God Killer? The God Killer? The weapon that is strong enough to kill 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 God Killer. 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's not you, Diana. You see? You are safe... ...and there is nothing you should concern yourself with. You keep doubting yourself, Diana. - No, I don't. - Yes. You do. No, I don't. You arestronger than you believe. You have greater powers than you know. - But if you don't try harder... - Diana! Are you hurt? No, Mother, I'm fine. - I was just... - Training. Seems I'm not the revered queen I should be. Disobeyed, betrayed by my own sister... No, mother. It was me. I asked her... 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 died 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 will find her. Hippolyta, I love her as you do. But this is the only way to truly protect her. You will train her harder than any Amazon before her. Five times harder... ...ten times harder. Until she's better than even you. But she must never know the truth... about what she is... ...or how she came to be. Harder. You are stronger than this, Diana. Again. Never let your guard down. You expect the battle to be fair. A battle will never be fair. Antiope! Lay still.. You're bleeding. - I'm sorry... - Wait, Diana. What had I done? I'm sorry. Where did this fog come from? There... Go forward. There he is! - The pilot! I can see him. - He's there! Wow. You are a man. Yeah. I mean... Do I not look like one? Where are we? Temiscira. What? Who are you? I'm one of the good guys and those are the bad guys. What? The German. Come on, we need to get out of here. - The Germans? - Diana! Step away from her.. now! Ready your bows! They have guns. Right? Fire! Come on! Stay down! Shield! No! No! No. No. No.. Antiope. Antiope, hey. Diana. - The time has come. - No. You... you must... What? What, Antiope? God Killer! - Diana, go... - Go where? - Where? - Go... No, please no. No, no! - No! - Antiope! No! - You. - 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's your name? I can't tell you that either. We should kill him now and be done with it. If he dies... ...we know nothing about who they are and why they came. My... Name is Captain Steve Trevor, pilot, American Expeditionary Forces. Serial number 8141921. 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... I am a... I'm a spy. I'm a spy. I'm a spy. British Intelligence got word... ...that the leader of the German Army Gen. Ludendorff. ...would be visiting a secret military 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 German had the Turks building bombs for 'em. And not just bombs, new weapons. Secret weapons. Invented by Ludendorff's chief psychopath, Dr. Isabelle Maru. The boys in the trenches called her "Doctor Poison". And for good reason. From what I could tell if Dr Maru was able to complete her work, ...millions more would die. The war would never end. I was there to observe and report, nothing more... ...but, I had to do something. Which is.. I need more time. Unfortunately, Dr. we don't have more time. This work, this... Get that man! Now! But if I can get these notes back to the British Intelligence in time... ...it could stop millions more from dying. It could stop the war. War? What war? The War. The war to end the all wars. Four years... 27 countries... 25 million dead. ...Soldiers and civilians. Innocent people... ...Women and children slaughtered. Their homes and thier villages looted & burned. Weapons far deadlier than you can... ...ever imagine. It's like nothing I've ever seen. It's like the world's gonna end. Should we let him go? And risk him bringing more men to our shores? We can not 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 war without end. Millions of people already dead. Like nothing he's ever seen. Only Ares could do such a thing. We can not simply let him go. We must go with him. I will not deploy our army and leave them scare defences... ...to go and fight their war. It's not their war. Zeus created man to be just, and wise, strong and passionate... That was a story, Diana! This 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 war is our fore ordinance. As Amazons this is our duty. But you're not an Amazon like the rest of us. So you will do nothing. As your queen I forbid it. Strange. Is it true you saved his life? Who told you that? He did. Ah.. I didn't see you come in. Would you say you are a... ...a typical example of your sex? I am... ...above average. What's that? It's a... Oh... It's a watch. A watch? Yeah, it's a watch. Tells time. My father gave it to me. Went through hell 'n back with him. Now it's for me and, good thing it's still ticking.. What for? Because it tells time. When to eat, sleep, wake up, work... You let this little thing tell you what to do? Yeah... Can I ask you some questions? - Where are we? - Temiscira. 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 can 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... ...earlier, but thank you for dragging me out of the water. Thank you... ...for what you did on the beach. So... ...you are 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. In 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... I can't say I blame her. The way this war's going... ...I don't wanna let anyone I care about near. Then why do you want to go back? I don't think "want" is the word, right? 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. Nice outfit. Oh, thank you. Now.. I'll show you the way off the Island... ...and you'll take me to Ares. Deal. I am leaving on that? 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. I am 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 can not stop you. There is so much... So much you do not understand. I understand enough. But 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're 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 will find her. How long until we reach the war? The war, 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 War? The God of war is our responsibility. Only an Amazon can defeat him. With this. And once I do... ...the war will end. Look. I appreciate your spirit... ...but this war 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 look for men who can. I'm the man who can! Once I find and destroy Ares... ...the German armies will be freed from his influence... ...they will good men again and the world will be better. Great. You will see. What are you doing? I thought maybe you wanna... ...get some sleep. What about you? Are you not sleeping? Does the average men not sleep? Yes, we sleep. We just don't sleep with a... You don't sleep with women? No, I mean, I do, I sleep with... I sleep with... Yes, I do.. But out of the... ...confines of marriage. Not polite to assume, you know? "Marriage"? Weird! You don't have that... You go before a judge... ...and you swear to love, honor and cherish each other... ...Until death do you apart. And do they.. love each other till death? Not very often, no. Then why do they do it? I have no idea. So you cannot sleep with me unless I marry you.. I will sleep with you if you want. I'll sleep right there. There is plenty of room. - Then fine, if you don't mind... - No, it's up to you. - I'm just fine. - Coming to sleep with you. Okay. You know, where I come from, I'm not considered average. You know, um.. being a spy... You have to show a certain amount of... ...vigor. Have you never met a man before? What about your father? I have 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 criticism on earthly pleasures 12 huh? Did you bring any of those with you? You would not enjoy them. I don't know. May be. No you wouldn't. Why not? They came to the conclusion that man are essential for procreation... ...but when it comes to pleasure... ...Unnecessary. No. Goodnight. How long until we're operational? Two days, sir. We'll have it up tonight, Captain. Sir, the men have had no food, no sleep. Do you think I have had a neat food or rest, captain? Do you hear me making excuses? No. Your men, they are weak, complacent. You've let them forget for an attack can happen at any time. ...from any cover! So let's you & I remind them... ...Shall we? - Doctor. - 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 weapon... ...he will not sign the armistice. But without my notebook... We will get your book! It is you that I believe in, not it. I know what you can and will succeed... It is what you're put on this earth to do. Something, did come to me last night. A different type of gas. For you. To restore your strength. I have got it! I have got it! And if it's what I think... It's going to be... ...terrible. Morning! We got lucky. We caught a ride, we make some good time. Welcome to Jolly old London! It's hideous.. Yeah, it's not for everybody. - Good morning Darling. - What a babe. Oh no! Gentlemen, eyes to yourself. Thank you so much. Come on! Why are they holding hands? Probably because they're together. No... No.. We're not together, I mean, in that way. This way. To the war! Well, technically, the war is that way. But we gotta get this way first. And where are we going? We gotta get this notebook to my superiors. Hey! Hey..! No. I let you go. You take me to Ares. - We made a deal, Steve Trevor. - Yeah. And a deal is a promise. And a promise is unbreakable. Oi, damn it, alright. Come with me first to deliver this... ...and then we'll give you a ticket... ...to the war. Deal? - Let's go. - Diana... What are you doing? You can not do that because you're not wearing any clothes. Let's go... Let's go buy some clothes. What do these women wear into battle? They don't... A baby! No, no.. No babies. One's not made out of clay. Come on. Diana! Please. Thank God! You're not dead! Hurray! I did think you're dead till I got your call, you know? He's been gone for weeks.. Not a single word. Very unlike him. I am introducing myself. It's Etta Candy. I am Steve Trevor's secretary. What is a secretary? Well, I do everything. I go where he tells me to go and I do what he tells me to do. Well, where I am from, that's called slavery. I really like her. Fantastic. Ladies after you. Oh.. I do, I like her. Is this what passes for armor in your country? Ah. well, "Oh my". It's fashion. Keeps our tummies in.. Why must you keep them in? Any woman with a tummy would ask that question! Conservative, but not entirely unfun. Try it on at least. Very well.. No! Come on! How can a woman possibly fight in this? Fight? We use our principles. I mean that's how we are gonna get to vote. Although I am not opposed to engaging in a bitter fist stickups.. ...should the occasion arise. Lovely. It's itching. It's choking me. Can they blame it? Etta. Where is she? She's trying on upto number 226. Ms. Candy, the whole point was to make her look less ...distracting. May I? Yeah, really? Specs? Certainly she's not the most beautiful woman you've ever seen? Better. Yep, that's not gonna work. Please put the sword down, Diana. Diana! Let me try it by myself. After you, sir. 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. Promise me you'll protect it with your life. Yes... no. You can trust her. Just hand that over. - Shield. - And the shield to her.. You got it? Thanks, Etta. This is easy. There we go. What is it? Hopefully, nothing. Come on. - Steve, why are we hiding? - Shh! Come on, come on! Captain Trevor. I believe you have something that is the property of Gen. Ludendorff. Ah, it's the bad guy convention. Give us Dr Maru's note book. Where I put that thing? Stand back! Or maybe not. Oh, tough luck. Is there anything else you wanna show me? Where do you think you're going? I'm sorry, but you're clearly under Ares' control. - Diana. - Let me help you get free. Where will I find Ares? He's... He's dead. Cyanide. Stay here. I'll be right back. Come on! Gentlemen, please! 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 war... Colonel, I need to talk to you outside. ...and restore world peace... is to negotiate... ...an armistice. There's a woman. What is she doing here? Get her out.. Ger her out.. Sorry. Blind sister, she got lost on the way to her bathroom.. I think it's this way. Sorry guys. Our only aim at this time... ...must be to achieve peace... ...at any cost! Why you been not hearing speech? He is talking of peace. Not right now! Trevor, what the hell were you thinking bringing a woman into the counsel? The Intel that I brought back is time sensitive. This is one of Dr. Maru's notebooks. Notebook or notes... We need to get it to Cryptography. And I need a immediate audience with the generals. You do not just barge in here. Sir with all due respect.. What I saw in my last trip... ...will change the course of war. Captain Trevor! I heard we lost you in one of your mission... ...and yet here you are, back from the dead... ...and I see you brought a friend with you. My deepest apology for interruption sir. No, no no... non sense. Thanks to this young woman... ...the room was finally quiet enough for me to get atleast a few words in. Sir Patrick Morgan, at your service. Diana, princess of the... "Prince". Diana Prince. She is... and I.. ...are... ...working together. She actually helped me bring this notebook back here. That's from Dr Maru's lab. I think the information it contains inside will change the course of the war. My.. God. - Dr Poison herself. - Yes. P s a g m e n o .com Yes. Intriguing. Any further intelligence? Sadly not, sir. Cryptography had no luck. It seems like it's a mixture of two languages... ...but as if they failed to determine which two languages. Ottoman & Sumerian. Surely someone else in this room knew that. Who is this woman? She is my... ...secretary, sir. And she can understand Ottoman and Sumerian? She's a very good secretary. Sir, if this woman can read it... ...we should hear what she has to say. Yes, very well. It's a formula... ...for a new kind of gas. Mustard gas, hydrogen based instead of sulfur. 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. In "front" of what? Sir... ...that is the evidence we need. You have to find out where they are making that gas. You have to burn it to the ground. Destroy it. Ludendorff was last seen in Belgium. We can't be seen in sending troops into German-occupied Belgium... ...As we are negotiating their surrender. Sir, I have seen that gas with my own eyes. If it is used, it will kill everyone on both sides. They will all die. Yes, that's what soldiers do, Captain. 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 case. Sir, I can take... Now more than ever... ...the armistice is off paramount importance. It must be negotiated it must be signed.. It's the best way of stopping the war. Captain, you will do nothing. And that's an order. Yes sir. I understand, sir. I don't! Diana, I know this confusing... - It is not confusing! It's unthinkable! - Who is this woman? She is with me, she is with us. I'm not.. I am not with you! You would knowingly sacrifice all those lives. ...as if they mean less than yours. - Diana, let's talk about it 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 battlefield! - That's enough! My apologies. - You should be ashamed. - My apologies. - You should be ashamed. - Diana... Diana! - All of you should be ashamed! Please slow down! Is that your leader? How could he say that? Believe that? And.. and you! 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 anything. This is Ares and he's not going to allow negotiation, ...nor 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'm taking you to the front. We are afraid you're gonna die. This is a terrible idea. We're gonna need reinforcements. These are the reinforcements? Yep. Are these even good men? Well, relatively. Even in Africa gentlemen, we haven't seen such luxuries. The luxury that we have now is like... is like we can't stop making money! So my uncle, the Prince, and I... Which prince is that? I decided to extend your profanity... But seriously, which prince? Hey, Sultan, Angoora, Next Kashmir... ...Care to talk for a minute? Gentlemen, excuse me one second. - A bar... Well, a pub. - You hypocrite. I've been racing those peacocks all night, and you've... Oh my goodness, gracious. That's a work of art. Sameer, Diana. Diana, Sameer! Hi, Diana. You can call me Sammy please. "Sammy". Oh Sameer, I wouldn't... do that if I were you. Sameer is a top undercover man. He can talk the skin off a cabbage many ways as you can. He doesn't look that impressive to me. You do for me. Your eyes, as soft as your smile. And your eyes... ...looks like they want something. I know Chinese too, tricky girl. But, can you recite Socrates in ancient Greek? Oh, you're done. Where is Charlie? Voila! At least this Charlie is good with his fists. That's not Charlie. That's Charlie. Steven! May god grow a flower upon your head son. Good to see you. So what were you fighting about? I mistook his glass for mine. That happens. This man is no fighter. Charlie is an expert marksman. Means he shoots people. From very far away. You never know what hit 'em. So, how do you know who you kill 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? So, what's the job, boss? Two days tops. We need supplies and passage to Belgium. What's the going rate? Better be a good pay. Yeah, well, here's the thing. ..I told you it was going to be quick. And there's a lot to be gained by this. It's for a great cause... ...Freedom. Friendship... ...ending the war, friendship... - Okay, You have no money. - No. All I want now is a picture of that beautiful face. You will not need a photo... ...because I'll go with you. What? What is this? We're gonna drop her up at front! - "Dropping her off"? - Yeah. Question sweetheart, I am not gonna get myself killed... ...with helping every last human. - That's no I mean. - Here's the little thief now! I am both frightened and aroused. Oh here they are! Sorry I'm late. Sir Patrick! Yes, that's what I was gonna mention. - Sir Patrick. - No... No..! Gentlemen, sit. Ms. Prince, sit.. I assume you are here planning something... ...that's going to get you either court martial or killed. And I assume, you are here to stop us. No. Not at all in fact.. Well, look. I was an younger man once. And had I been in better health, I like to think that I might do the same. It's very very honorable thing you're doing. Therefore.. ...I am here to help. Unofficially, of course. What's your plan? If there's another weapon's facility, find it and destroy it. Along with Ludendorff and Maru. In that case, to allay suspicion... ...our charming Etta could run the mission from my office. "Run"... Also. ...There is enough here for a few days. Thank you sir. You're very welcome. Take great care all of you... ...and good luck. Fresh ice-cream. Hello miss, would you like to buy an ice cream? - Me? - You hungry? Yes. Thank you. Eight pence please, sir. There you go, and keep the change. Thank you very much sir. - What you doing? - It's wonderful! Yeah. - You should be very proud. - Thank you very much! You should be very proud. I hope I got niches here. The chief's expecting us before dark. Chief? Oh yeah. A smuggler. Very reputable. A liar, a murderer, and now a smuggler. Lovely. Careful, I might get offended. I wasn't referring to you. Really? I wanna recover from pretending to be somebody else. ...I shot people on your beach, smuggle a notebook. A liar, murderer and smuggler. You still coming? It's awful. That's why we're here. The gas will kill everything. What kind weapons kills innocents? In this war... ...Every kind. You were absent at the counsel meeting, General. I see you are negotiating the terms of the armistice without me. - On the Kaiser's behalf. - I'm on your insistence. We could easily win this war if only you had a little faith. We don't. There are shortages of food... ...meds and ammunition. Every hour we delay costs thousands of German lives. One attack and the world could be ours. As we speak, my chemistry... We stand against you and your... ...witch. Ludendorff, enough! 24 hours from now... ...this war will end. It is over. It's over for you. It is over for all of you.. But the mask won't help. They don't know that. Let's go. Time to stage a demonstration for the Kaiser! You're late. Cowboy sneak attack, chief! How are you? - Good to see you pal. - Big mike. - Good to see you. - Oh yes! Good to see you my friend. Yaa beauty! Who is this? And I am Diana. Where did you find her? She found me. - I plucked him from the sea. - Well. It's a long story. You don't have to talk about that right now. What's there? British tea from the Germans... ...German beer for the British. And Edgar Rice Brurroughs novels for both. And guns! Well... May we get what we want? May we get what we need. But may we never get what we deserve. Bang! Strange thunder. German 77's. Guns, big ones. It's the front out there. - The evening hay. - So, who do you fight for in this war? I don't fight. You're here for profits then? No better place to be. Nowhere better to be than in a war where you don't take a side. I have no where else. The last war took everything from my people. We have nothing left. At least here... ...I'm free. Who took that from your people? His people. Don't go... Don't go there. Do not go! Don't go in there. You are safe. You are safe. Are you okay? Shut up, you woman! Stop making a fuss! God! He sees ghosts. Hey, you're gonna get cold. Oh I do... Don't worry about Charlie. He doesn't mean any, alright? These animals, why are they hurting them? Because they need to move quick! - Like us! - But this is not the way. I could help them. There is no time. Come on, woman! Mama! That man... he's wounded. There is nothing you can do about it, Diana. We must keep moving. What is this? You wanted me to take you to war. This is it. Then where are the Germans? Couple of 100 yards across the field. - The trench is... - Watch out! Chief! Oh it's good to see you. Oi, chief's back! Chief's back! Alright, let's move. Help me please. They have taken everything... ...houses, food... ...and those who could not escape... ...they were taken away as slaves. Where did that happen? In Veld... On the other side of No Man's Land. Diana, we have to go. We need to help these people. We have to stay on mission! Next safe crossing is at least a day away. - What are we waiting for? - We can not leave without helping them. These people are dying. Nothing to eat and in the village... - enslaved it there! - I understand that. Women and children! We need to make our next position by sunset. How can you say that? What is the matter with you? This is No Man's Land! Diana! Means no man can cross it, alright? This battalion has been here for nearly a year... ...and they barely gained an inch. Alright? Because on the other side, there are a bunch of Germans ...pointing machine guns at every square inch of this place. This is not something you can cross. This is 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 war. Steve... This is not what we came here to do. No... ...but it's what I'm going to do. Diana! What the bloody hell she's playing at? Engage, fire! She's taking all the fire! Let's go! Sniper! stay down! Stay down! That's an order! Come on! She's done it! Let's go! Steve! Let's go! Come on, go! Stay here, I'll go ahead. - What the... - Let's move. We need more firepower. Sniper! Move! Get in! Charlie, bell tower. Come on, Charlie. Shoot him. It's okay. Follow me. Give me some cover. Good! We're gonna put this on our back and when I say go.. - ...Lift hard! - All right. Diana! Shield! Go! Stay very very still, for me my friends. Please. It's so important. Thank you very much. This has been such an honor for me taking you photograph. Thank you so much. For obvious talk of shooting... ...you cannot shoot. Not everyone gets to be where they want to be all the time. Me, I'm an actor. I love acting. I didn't want to be a soldier. But I'm the wrong color. Everyone's fighting their own battle, Diana. Just as you're fighting yours. Oh it's too much. I wish you... Thank you. Hi.. I'm on the phone... Ah, it's "Veld", V-E-L-D. It's a tiny village. It may not even be on the map. Ooh! I found it! Did you find Ludendorff's operation? No. No, but I located him. And oh, lucky you, he's only a few miles away... ...At German High Command. The German High Command? And to Intel report... ...Ludendorff is hosting a gala.. Sort of a last hara... ...before the Germans sign the armistice. And then the Kaiser himself is going to be there. As well as Dr. Maru. Actually the Gala could be perfect cover. - Captain Trevor. - Yes sir. You're under no circumstances to go anywhere near that... ...gala tomorrow night. Do you hear me? You'll be jeopardizing everything we've worked for. You can not compromise the armistice. - Sir, there will be no armistice... - Steve! .. once Ludendorff bombs the entire front line. Hold on one second, sir. We shouldn't be bothered about setting the peace agreement. - Why not? - Ares would never let... What? What is that? Of course, it makes complete sense. Ares developed a weapon, 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. Sir, I am losing you! Sir? - Hello? - Sir... How likely is he to respect my wishes? Not very like convinced. Sammy, Sammy, no, no. Sammy, I have to work. I gotta rustle up with a German uniform I took to plough the course tomorrow. That's easy, boss. Come on. There's nothing we can do till tomorrow. You said yourself, Steve. - Thank you. - Thank you. You did this. We did. Do you have dancing on... ...Paradise Island? Oh, dancing, yeah of course. These people are just... swaying. Okay, if you're gonna be fighting the God of war... ...I might as well teach you how to dance, you poor thing. Alright, probably without the gun. If you would... Well... If I'm going to the Gala, I'll need to know how to dance. - You aren't going to the Gala. - Of course I am. - No. - Why wouldn't I? Well, for one, you don't know how to dance. I would argue with this, they don't know how to dance. Be polite. Be polite. All right. Give me your hand. Like so. And I'll put my arm... ...around you like so. And we just.. What do you call it? Sway? We'll just sway. You're awfully close. Nice ritz. I see. I haven't heard him sing in years. It's started to snowfall. Touch it. It's magical! It is, isn't it? Yes, yeah. Is this what people do when there are no wars to fight? Yeah. Yeah, this... and other things. What things? They have breakfast. They really love a breakfast. And they love to wake up... ...read the paper and go to work. They get married. Makes some babies and grow old together. I guess. What is that like? I have no idea. The villagers gave them to us. - A gracious gift. - And they call us heroes. You are. Hey, fellas, I know that... ...I said this job was 2 day's... ...and a deal is a deal. You can't last without us. Yeah. We all know Diana is capable of taking care of herself. I'm worried that you won't make it. No more money. We have been paid enough. No, Charlie. Who will sing for us? - Yeah. - Oh no, please. Sing? You asked for it. The reeds are green. The reeds are green. The sweetest hours I could live. You must think I was born yesterday. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Every word. Wait...wait. There is a whole island of women like her? And not a single man among them? How do we get there? And she thinks.. ...that Ludendorff is Ares, the god of war? And only by killing him will the war end. Don't be daft. You saw what happened out there. The way she dropped that machine gun next. The way she took out the tower? May be it's true. I think it's true. I believe it's true. Steven son, you don't really believe those rubbish thing? Diana, Diana, hide in.. How the hell do we get into that? I see only a couple of guards in the door to distract. Yeah, it won't look suspicious... ...when I wanna come sauntering out of the woods. I could get in. You are not going in there, it's too dangerous. - Too dangerous? - Yes, too dangerous. And you are too distracting. Look, I will go in there, follow them to.. ...where ever they are working on the gas or better yet, where it is. - I'm coming with you. - No, you are not coming with me. What you're wearing isn't exactly undercover. I don't know. I would say she was pretty undercover on that battlefield. It's just gonna, we can't get you there. It's all scouted out, we'll put back... But as long as he's still alive, it doesn't... You cannot go into German high command and kill anyone. You just can't. You have to trust me. - Oh, Wow! - Where did that come from? Oh, can I drive it? Please let me drive it! Yes, I'll be your chauffeur. Come on... come on. Stay put! Where this come from? A field over there. It is full of them! Chief, I think you and me scope out the area... ...in case we need to beat the haste and retreat. - What do you say, Diana? - Huh? Colonel. Steve, they have invitations. Don't worry. Play it cool, you go this, you got this. Your invitation, please. Thank you sir. The Colonel and I wish... ...many blessings and all my love to fall up in your head. Your head must be empty. Find the invitation, you idiot. I am sorry. I am so sorry, I must apologize a thousand times, my master. I made the most horrible, the most unforgivable mistake. - I lost the Colonel's invitation. - What? You saying we travelled all the way through the mud and rain... - ...Only for you to loose my invitation? - No, I am a bug. Not even a bug, I'm a dung of a bug. And you're right master... Blessing will up on us. This is ridiculous. I'm not gonna be spending my evening out here. You stupid idiots! Move your car! What are you supposed to be? What are you doing? Excuse me. I don't drink. Have we met? No, but I have been watching you. Following your career. You are Dr. Isabel Maru. The most talented chemist in the German army. I am a friend. I hope I'm not causing any... I know you and General Ludendorff are... ...very close. We work well together.. Yes. Tell me some one like me behind you... I could provide a lot more. And who are you? A man who shows you appreciation a genius like yourself deserves. I love fire. Don't you? It is like... ...a living act of entropy. The ultimate weapon of destruction. Reminding us that in the end... ...everything eventually returns to the ash it came from. There is something reassuring about it. I see all of that in your eyes. Perhaps you could show me what you're working on. I hear it is... I hear it is extraordinary. I appreciate your interest in my work... ...but I'm loyal to General Ludendorff. Besides... ...Now I see your attention is... ...elsewhere. Enjoying the party? I confess I'm not sure what it is we're celebrating. A German victory, of course. Victory? When I hear peace could be so close. Peace? It's only an armistice... ...and an endless war. Thucydides. You know your ancient Greeks? They understood... ...that war was a god. A god that requires human sacrifices. And in exchange... ...war gives man purpose... ...meaning, a chance to rise... ...above his petty, mortal little self... ...and be courageous... ...Noble! Only one of the many gods believed in that. 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 kill Ludendorff before we find the gas... ...we won't be able to stop anything. I will stop Ares! What if you're wrong? What if there's no Ares? You don't believe me. I can not let you do this. What I do is not up to you. Diana! Diana... The gas. The villagers! What they cheering for? Diana! What did they fire? The gas. - It was Ludendorff. - I saw him, he was in the tower. Wherever he goes you follow. How will you find us? I know how. Diana! They are dead. They are all dead. I could have saved them. I could have saved them if it weren't for you. You stopped me from killing Ares! - No! - Get away from me! I understand everything now. It isn't just the Germans that Ares has corrupted. It's you too. All of you. I'll find Ares... ...and I'll kill him. Diana! That smoke... ...it's the chief! He followed Ludendorff. Follow the smoke! Hey! Diana, Over there! Come on. Let's go! Ooh! what a surprise. Strange. Unfortunately, I have another matter... ...to attend to. What are you? You will soon find out. As magnificent as you are, you are still no match for me. We'll see about that. I am Diana Temiscira... ...daughter of Hippolyta... ...Queen of the Amazons. And your wrath upon this world is over. In the name of all that it is good in this world... ...I hereby complete the mission of the Amazons... ...by ridding this world of you... ...forever! Diana? Diana! I killed him. I killed him, but nothing stops. You kill the god of war, you stop the war. Exactly what we have to do now. We need to stop the gas. Come on. No. All this should have stopped. Diana... The fighting should have stopped. Why are they? I don't know! I don't know. Ares is dead. They can now stop fighting. Why are they still fighting? Because maybe it's them! Maybe... Maybe people aren't always good. Ares or no Ares... ...Maybe it's just, who they are. - Diana... - No. Diana, we can talk about this later. - I need you to come with me. - No, no! After everything I saw, it can't be! Can not be! They were killing each other. Killing people they cannot see. Children... Children! No, it had to be him. It can not be them! Diana, people... I... She was right. My mother was right. She said the world of men do not deserve you. They don't deserve our help, Steve. - It's not about deserve! - They do not deserve our help. Maybe we don't! But it's not about that. It's about what you believe. You don't think I get it, after what I've seen out there? You don't think I wish I could tell you that I was one bad guy to blame? It's not! We are all to blame. I am not. But maybe I am! Please. If you believe that this war should stop... ...if you want to stop it... ...help me stop it right now. Because...if. If you don't, there will be thousands more. Please, please come with me. I have to go. I have to go. Hey! - Where is Diana? - We are on our own. - What? - What did you see, Charlie? Seems like a bunch of gas pumps... ...but I can't see where they're taking them. How are we gonna get in there? I have got an idea. Come on guys. Come on! Who's there? Sir Patrick. You were right, Diana. They don't deserve our help. They only deserve destruction. You... You are him. I am. But I'm not what you thought I was. What is that? Future. I'm not your enemy, Diana. I'm the only one who truly knows you. And who truly knows them, as you now do. They 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 Temiscira... So I destroyed them. ...daughter of Hippolyta... ...and I am here to complete her... The God Killer... My dear Child.. ...that's not the God Killer. You are. Only a God can kill another God. Zeus left the child he had with the queen of the Amazon. ...As a weapon to use against me. No. You liar. I compel you to tell me the truth. I am. I'm not the god of war, 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... ...destruction they bring. And we could return this world to the paradise it was before them. Forever. I... I can never be a part of that. My dear, I don't want to fight you. But if I must... - Steve! - Come on, let's go! Sammy, let's go! Get these things out of here. Oh my dear, you have so much to learn. Oh my God! What are we gonna do? There is not much we can do... ...if that's who I think it is. But we can stop that plane. If we could get on the radio... ...we can ask flying corp to shoot her down. No. If it crashes, it will wipe everyone out for 50 square miles. We gotta ground it! Bad news. It's on a timer. If we ground it here, it's the same thing. Is it flammable, Chief? Yes, you 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! Come on! This way! Steve! - Come on, Steve. - Ahead! Go! Steve! Let's see what kind of god you really are. You will help me destroy them, Diana. Or you will die. Come on! Let's move, let's go! Go. Go. Go. - Now! - Go! Run! Is that all you have to offer? It is futile to imagine you can win. Give up, Diana. Chief! Anything left? I got nothing. - Anything! - No! Steve. Steve. No! 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! He deserved to burn! Look at her and tell me I'm wrong. She is the perfect example of these humans... ...and unworthy of your sympathy in every way. Destroy her, Diana. You know that she deserves. That they all do. Do it! Diana! Diana... What? We 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 could save today. You can save the world. I wish we had more time. What? What are you saying? I love you! You are wrong about them. They are everything you say... ...but so much more. Lies! They do not deserve your protection! It's not about deserving. It's about what you believe. And I believe in love. Then I will destroy you! Goodbye brother. I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind. But then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their mind ...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. |
