STEVE:

It's not about whether they

deserve it or not. It's about

what you believe. You think I

don't get it? All I've seen out

there? I wish I could tell you

that there was one `bad guy' to

blame. Maybe we're all to blame.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't

try to do better.

(beat)

And if you believe this war should

stop, Diana, if you want to stop

it, then help me stop it. Now.

Diana still isn't there.

STEVE:

If we don't, they're going to kill

thousands more.

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

111.

101 CONTINUED:
(4) 101

STEVE (CONT'D)

(beat)

Don't give up on them. Don't give

up on me.

Diana doesn't respond. She isn't there yet.

STEVE:

Please. We gotta go...

(beat)

I have to.

It kills Steve to release her hand, but he has no choice.

He has to. He does and can only look back, hoping she'll

follow.

Diana's left alone, everything she ever believed in

destroyed.

She watches as Steve runs off --

102 EXT. AIRFIELD - CONTROL TOWER - CONTINUOUS ACTION 102

Steve joins the team as they arrive and regroup --

SAMEER:

(to Steve)

Where's Diana?

STEVE:

We're on our own.

Despite their hesitation and confusion about that, the

team follows Steve towards the hangar --

103 EXT. CONTROL TOWER - CONTINUOUS ACTION 103

Diana takes in a breath, SMELLS the CHEMICALS in the air,

HEARS the sounds across the AIRFIELD -- she has become

hyper aware of the harshness of the world around her.

Diana turns, seeing a FIGURE THROUGH the windows looking

at Ludendorff's plans. For a brief moment, she thinks

it's Steve.

DIANA:

Steve?

The figure pauses, then looks over at Diana. Diana

wonders:
Who is it?

(CONTINUED)

112.

103 CONTINUED:
103

DIANA:

Who's there?

(beat)

What are you doing?

The figure finally speaks --

VOICE (O.S.)

I've been waiting for you to see

the truth.

She looks closer, a shiver up her spine -- confusion

overwhelms Diana as she sees it's --

DIANA:

Sir Patrick?

Sir Patrick is there, like a dream -- or a nightmare --

calmly gazing over at Diana THROUGH the glass.

SIR PATRICK:

You're right, Diana. They don't

deserve our help.

(beat)

They only deserve destruction.

Diana freezes.

DIANA:

You're him.

You.

SIR PATRICK:

I am. But I'm not what you

thought I was. You blame me, but

the truth is...

(motions to the

airfield)

... all of this -- I did none of

it.

Alarmed, Diana reaches for her sword -- but her hand

grasps at nothing -- she quickly realizes it's still in

Ludendorff! Diana leaps OUT OF FRAME to retrieve it!

104 EXT. AIRFIELD - HANGAR - CONTINUOUS ACTION 104

Steve and the team regroup, taking cover behind a hangar,

Charlie scanning the area with his scope.

CHARLIE:

I can't see where they're taking

the gas.

(CONTINUED)

113.

104 CONTINUED:
104

They duck behind CRATES as gas-masked soldiers march by.

Sammy points out over the airfield at --

-- the enormous, modern PROTOTYPE BOMBER on the runway,

being loaded up with bombs. The workers hurry as the

storm continues to build around them.

SAMEER:

Wherever Diana is, I think we're

gonna need her.

Steve watches as a soldier motioning to the crew to pick

up the pace.

Steve and the team see soldiers loading bombs in the back

of the plane. Steve motions to the team and they head

around the back of the hangar.

105 INT./EXT. AIRFIELD - CONTINUOUS ACTION 105

Diana leaps down from above, the GODKILLER back in her

hands -- she circles the tower like a tiger, looking

THROUGH the glass -- but Sir Patrick remains very calm.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

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 horror...

As he speaks, Diana holds the sword with TWO HANDS,

trying to regain her confidence but struggling.

Stepping in the doorway, he vanishes. She looks around.

Finds he's suddenly outside.

DIANA:

(to herself)

I am Diana of Themyscira, daughter

of Hippolyta... and I am here to

complete her mission --

Diana c*cks back her sword for battle when Sir Patrick

disappears again -- reappearing behind her. She spins

and plunges the GODKILLER into him --

Sir Patrick simply holds up his hand and the sword

DISINTEGRATES INTO A CLOUD OF DUST, right down to the

hilt! Diana can't believe it --

(CONTINUED)

114.

105 CONTINUED: 105

DIANA:

The Godkiller...

SIR PATRICK/ARES

The Godkiller? Oh, child. That

is not the Godkiller.

(truly feels her

shock)

You are. Only a god can kill

another god.
