SAMEER:

Yeah, we know Diana's capable of

looking after herself, but I'm

worried you wouldn't make it.

STEVE:

There's no more money, boys.

Sameer pets his horse with a smile.

SAMEER:

We've been paid enough.

The Chief nods, but Diana spots Charlie's hesitation.

DIANA:

If you're coming, Charlie, perhaps

you'll sing more for us.

(then; the truth)

I enjoyed it very much.

Charlie brightens at a rare compliment from Diana.

SAMEER:

Ah! Don't encourage him!

Despite Sameer's protests, Charlie starts to SING LOUDLY --

but joyfully -- as the team moves on.

OFF Diana, moved by the continued goodness she's

discovering within these unlikely men.

(CONTINUED)

93.

84 CONTINUED:
(2) 84

CHARLIE (V.O.)

(pre-lap)

She's a real life Amazon?

85 EXT. FOREST (BELGIUM) - DAY 85

Diana leads the men on HORSEBACK. They trail behind.

Diana turns, smiles, unaware Steve's just told them all

about her.

CHARLIE:

(to the boys)

That's the craziest story I ever

heard!

SAMEER:

Wait. There's a whole island of

women like her? And not a single

man among them?

(beat)

How do we get there?

STEVE:

You're not their type.

CHARLIE:

You're all going daft.

STEVE:

It's true... every word.

SAMEER:

And she thinks Ludendorff is Ares?

The God of War?

CHARLIE:

And only by killing him will the

war end?

SAMEER:

You saw what she did out there.

The way she charged that machine

gun nest. The way she took out

that tower. Maybe it's true!

Chief nods in agreement.

CHARLIE:

(to Steve)

You don't really believe all this

rubbish, do ye?

Steve wishes he does, but deep down he doesn't...

94.

86 EXT. FOREST/CH�TEAU (BELGIUM) - DAY 86

Through the trees, still on HORSEBACK, Diana and the team

see the WELL-GUARDED fortress that is German High

Command. Steve uses FIELD GLASSES to survey the scene.

Chauffeured LIMOUSINES go through a HEAVILY-GUARDED

CHECKPOINT at the gate, behind it, a long line of cars

delivering well-dressed GUESTS to the ENTRANCE of the

ch�teau, a SINGLE SENTRY stationed there.

STEVE:

How the hell are we gonna get in?

THE CHIEF:

The way in is through the gate.

CHARLIE:

(sarcastic)

Thank you, Chief, for that ancient

tribal wisdom, that's very

helpful.

The Chief gets off his horse, hands the reins to Sameer,

then wanders off into the forest.

Charlie looks through his scope: several guards at the

gate, but only one at the door.

CHARLIE:

If you could get through the gate

I only see one guard at the door

to distract.

STEVE:

It won't look at all suspicious

when I come sauntering out of the

woods on foot --

DIANA:

I could get in.

STEVE:

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

DIANA:

Dangerous?

STEVE:

I know how to do stealth -- been

doing it my whole life. I'll

follow them to wherever they're

working on the gas or better yet

find out where it is.

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

95.

86 CONTINUED:
86

STEVE (CONT'D)

(beat)

Plus, we can't make a scene.

DIANA:

I can be stealthy.

STEVE:

Diana, what you're wearing doesn't

exactly qualify as `undercover.'

SAMEER:

(attempting humor)

I don't know, I'd say she was

pretty under covered.

Only Charlie laughs.

STEVE:

(to Diana)

There's no way to get you in. Let

me scout it and report back.

Worse case, we follow Ludendorff

when he leaves and you can use

that magic lasso of yours to get

him to tell us where it is.

DIANA:

But as long as he's still alive --

STEVE:

You can't go into German High

Command and kill anyone! You have

to trust me, Diana.

Suddenly, a gleaming, ROLLS-ROYCE LIMOUSINE pulls into

the forest, The Chief in the driver's seat.

STEVE:

(to The Chief)

Where did that come from?

THE CHIEF:

Field over there is full of them.

SAMEER:

Can I drive it? Lemme drive it.

I'll be your chauffeur!

Steve looks at Diana.

STEVE:

(pointedly)

Diana. Please, stay put.

(CONTINUED)

96.

86 CONTINUED:
(2) 86

Steve climbs into the back seat and Sameer drives the

limo off.

CHARLIE:

We should scout the area. In case

we need to beat a hasty retreat.

What do you think, Diana?
