STEVE:

(to Etta)

Etta, the whole point was to make

her less conspicuous.

Steve looks around the store, grabs a pair of GLASSES.

He gently puts the glasses on Diana's face. Looks

satisfied.

ETTA:

Really, Steve? All it takes is a

pair of specs, and suddenly she's

not the most beautiful woman

you've ever seen?

Diana LOOKS into the mirror, takes a deep breath and

settles into the dress. She smiles as she fixes her

glasses.

56 EXT. SELFRIDGE & CO./OXFORD ST. - CONTINUOUS ACTION 56

Diana, HAIR UP, in her GLASSES and NEW OUTFIT pushes

through the door as DIANA PRINCE. The MAN IN THE SUIT

from earlier, holds it open for her.

DIANA:

Thank you.

Etta follows Diana and Steve out with the SHOPPING BAGS.

Diana tucks the LASSO into the inside of her coat --

ETTA:

Right then, I'll take the rest of

this. Good luck, I'll take these

back to the office and meet you

both later.

Etta goes for Diana's SWORD, but Diana yanks it back.

ETTA:

It really doesn't go with the

outfit.

STEVE:

It'll be safe. You can trust her.

(beat)

I don't think we're going to run

into Ares at the meeting.

Diana reluctantly lets Etta take the sword along with the

SHOPPING BAGS, presumably carrying her armor.

(CONTINUED)

49.

56 CONTINUED:
56

DIANA:

(earnest)

Please. Protect it with your

life.

ETTA:

(raising an eyebrow)

... Who wouldn't?

57 EXT. STREET (LONDON) - CONTINUOUS ACTION 57

Diana and Steve walk down the street, the SUITED MAN from

earlier follows them. He's suddenly distracted by the

reappearance of the Suited Man from earlier, who confers

with A SECOND SUITED MAN (SM #2).

STEVE:

Come on.

DIANA:

What is it?

STEVE:

Hopefully nothing.

Steve leads Diana down a less-populated street.

Diana sees SM #1 and SM #2 tracking them on opposite

sides of the street.

Steve, distracted, bumps right into SUITED MAN #3 and

looks down to find a GUN aimed at his gut.

SUITED MAN #3

Captain Trevor, I believe you

have something that is the

property of General Ludendorff.

58 EXT. ALLEYWAY (LONDON) - CONTINUOUS ACTION 58

SM #3 backs Steve and Diana into an ALLEYWAY where TWO

MORE men wait. Now all FIVE of the SUITED MEN gather,

THREE of them have their GUNS out on Diana and Steve.

STEVE:

Quite a reception.

SUITED MAN #3

Give us Dr. Maru's notebook.

Steve steps in front of Diana, searching his jacket --

(CONTINUED)

50.

58 CONTINUED:
58

STEVE:

Where did I put that thing?

At which point -- Steve KICKS THE GUN OUT OF SM #3's

HANDS, HITTING HIM INTO THE TWO OTHERS HOLDING GUNS.

Steve holds his arm up, "protecting" Diana --

STEVE:

(to Diana)

Stay behind me!

SM #2 FIRES!

Steve pushes Diana out of the bullet's path, but Diana

reaches out -- THE BULLET BOUNCES OFF HER BRACELET!

EVERYONE FREEZES WITH ASTONISHMENT as Diana realizes her

bracelets may be more than just symbolic.

STEVE:

Or not.

SM #2 and SM #3 FIRE!

Diana RAISES BOTH BRACELETS, deflecting their bullets.

Her technique is clumsy at first as she gets used to the

torque, impact and SOUND.

Steve takes out SM #1 while Diana grabs SM #3 as his LAST

SHOT fires -- and lays him out with a blow.

Diana deflects the last of SM #2's bullets as his gun

runs EMPTY. Everyone is amazed, especially Steve --

STEVE:

How'd you do that?

She smiles as if to say, you ain't seen nothing yet --

The remaining THREE SUITED MEN rush Steve and Diana.

Diana slams her fist into SM #2 while Steve takes on SM

#4.

Diana grabs the dazed SM #2 -- swings him around,

crashing him into SM #5 hard -- and they're both down. A

spilt second later, Steve finishes taking out SM #4.

The suited men run off, leaving only SM #1 behind. SM #1

stirs. Diana and Steve turn to see him make a run for it --

ETTA (O.S.)

I thought you looked suspicious.

SM #1 is stopped in his tracks by Etta, wielding the

GODKILLER, shopping bags at her feet.

(CONTINUED)

51.

58 CONTINUED:
(2) 58

ETTA:

Where do you think you're going?

SM #1 runs in the other direction, but Diana retrieves

the LASSO from inside her coat and uses it to pull him

off his feet, onto his back.

As the lasso glows, Diana kneels at his side,

compassionately placing her hand on his chest. In her

mind, his actions are not his fault.

DIANA:

I am sorry. You are clearly under

his control. Let me help you get

free. Tell me where he is...

Where will I find Ares?

But the suited man pops a CYANIDE pill between his teeth

before she can get an answer.

DIANA:

He's dead.

Diana looks at Steve and Etta, horrified.

59 INT. WAR OFFICE BLDG. - ASSEMBLY HALL - DAY 59

Diana follows Steve into an ASSEMBLY HALL, where an

unruly group of men, MILITARY LEADERS and MEMBERS OF

PARLIAMENT, shout down SIR PATRICK MORGAN (40s), kindly

faced, a CANE at his side. Diana gazes across the hall

like a tourist.
