DIANA:

I --

SIR PATRICK/ARES

Zeus left the daughter he had with

the Queen of the Amazons as a

weapon to use against me.

Diana's mind reeling --

DIANA:

You lie!

Diana throws her LASSO around Sir Patrick, who doesn't

try and avoid it. On contact with Sir Patrick, the lasso

glows BRIGHTER than previously seen --

DIANA:

I compel you to tell me the truth!

Sir Patrick calmly looks into her eyes, the lasso's

GOLDEN ENERGY courses between them.

ARES:

I am.

107 OMITTED 107

107A EXT. AIRFIELD - HANGAR - CONTINUOUS ACTION 107A

Steve and the team put on GAS MASKS and JACKETS pulled

from a handful of UNCONSCIOUS SOLDIERS they leave behind

as they creep around the hangar to the plane.

Steve and the team blend in with the crew working on the

plane.

115.

107AA EXT. AIRFIELD - CONTINUOUS ACTION 107AA

Sameer boards the plane while Steve moves to the front

wheel, trying to get a better look at the plane's

position.

The Chief spots soldiers examining a MAP just inside the

hangar. As they walk away, The Chief sneaks in --

107E INT. CONTROL TOWER - CONTINUOUS ACTION 107E

The lasso is still tight around Sir Patrick, crackling.

Diana holds it, still unsure what to think --

SIR PATRICK/ARES

I am not the God of War, Diana. I

am the god of truth... All I ever

wanted was to show my father how

evil his creation was. But he

refused.

As Sir Patrick runs his finger along the lasso, a SURGE

of energy runs from his hands and down towards Diana --

into her, causing her to see FLASHES OF THE PAST. Each

is like a pulse that fades and returns us to the scene at

hand.

107EA FLASHBACKS - EXT. NO MAN'S LAND - DAY 107EA

We PUSH THROUGH the bleakness of the world.

SIR PATRICK/ARES (V.O.)

Mankind stole the world from us.

They ruined it, day-by-day.

107EB EXT. MOUNT OLYMPUS - NIGHT 107EB

Ares falling to the Earth... His armor falling off...

SIR PATRICK/ARES (V.O.)

And I, the only one wise enough to

see it, was left too weak to

destroy them myself...

107EC EXT./INT. TBD - NIGHT 107EC

Somewhere dark, ARES shivering, powerless... the remnants

of his armor CRACKING and BREAKING APART around him.

(CONTINUED)

116.

107EC CONTINUED: 107EC

SIR PATRICK/ARES (V.O.)

All these years, I've struggled.

Whispering into their ears...

107ED INT. HANGAR - DR. MARU'S LAB - DAY 107ED

Maru at her workbench. The SPECTRAL FORM of SIR PATRICK

whispering silently to her, unseen by anyone. A STRANGE

WIND passes as he does. Her eyes light up. She starts

mixing chemicals frantically.

SIR PATRICK (V.O.)

Ideas. Inspiration. For weapons.

Formulas. But I don't make them

use them... they start these wars

on their own.

END FLASHBACKS.

107EF INT. CONTROL TOWER - NIGHT 107EF

The FLASHBACKS FADE and we RETURN TO Diana's stunned

face.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

(enjoying the

revelation)

All I do is orchestrate an

armistice I know they will break,

in the hope they will destroy

themselves. But it's never been

enough...

(beat)

When you first arrived I was going

to end you, Diana. Then I felt

something I haven't for thousands

of years. Stronger.

Sir Patrick clenches his fists. His neck pulses.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

It was your power. Healing me

more than you could ever hurt me.

Diana's eyes narrow, trying to understand. Sir Patrick's

hands begin to FLICKER with FIRE --

SIR PATRICK/ARES

And I knew that if only you could

see what the other gods

couldn't...

(CONTINUED)

117.

107EF CONTINUED: 107EF

Sir Patrick runs his finger along the lasso, energy

arcing down the lasso and into Diana! As it hits her --

107EG VISION - EXT. NO MAN'S LAND - DAY 107EG

-- they are transported to the barren, war-torn No Man's

Land

SIR PATRICK/ARES (V.O.)

All the suffering. All the pain

and destruction they create. You

would join me.

Diana looks around her.

SIR PATRICK/ARES (V.O.) SIR PATRICK/ARES (V.O.)

With out powers combined, (ALT)

we could finally end this. With our powers combined,

we could finally end them.

The barren no man's land transforms into a lush, "Garden

of Eden" -- like Themyscira itself!

SIR PATRICK/ARES

We could return the world to the

paradise it was before them.

(beat)

And there would be absolute peace,

Diana. Forever.

CLOSE ON DIANA:

taking it in.

Sir Patrick smiles, pleased.

But Diana resists.
