Wonderwoman Page #36

---

She explodes with grief and anger -- freeing herself from

Sir Patrick's hold. He stumbles back!

IN A RAGE, Diana turns to Ares -- jumps into the air at

Ares, slamming her foot down across him. Diana tackles

him, leaps up -- they crash through a hangar, GERMAN

SOLDIERS watching, scattering as Diana slides Ares across

the ground.

Ares punches Diana off him, motions towards a TANK -- it

turns, FIRING at Diana! She rolls out of the way and

catches the shell, throwing it back at the tank! As it

explodes, German soldiers RUN -- until Ares sees them --

and using his growing power, takes them over. They all

freeze in place.

CLOSE ON A GERMAN SOLDIER

THROUGH his GAS MASK we see his eyes turn black.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

The soldiers AIM their guns at Diana, firing dozens and

dozens of BULLETS -- she blocks them, charging towards

Ares. As the soldiers move in all around her, blocking

her way --

CLOSE ON DIANA:

her eyes begin to DARKEN.

She's lost in Steve's death, transformed into a VIOLENT

MACHINE! In a brutal, stunning move, Diana attacks the

soldiers in a fit of rage. She decimates the soldiers!

One after the other! Tearing through them!

She spins through the crowd, slamming into the soldiers --

building to a SUPER SPIN that blows them all back!

Diana charges Ares, flipping over and around him, dodging

his sword, kicking him, leaping away, landing, and

throwing her LASSO around his leg.

She wraps her lasso around her own leg, flipping him over

her head, slamming him down onto the ground!

Diana leaps into the air, smashing her elbow into his

back. Breathing heavily, full of anger, Diana pulls Ares

up, getting close enough to realize --

ARES IS SMILING. She's almost his.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

(enjoying every

second)

Yes, Diana. Don't stop...

Diana pauses, breathing heavy like a wild animal. But

resists. Ares blasts Diana back into a TANK. Trying to

anger her into fighting.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

Do it... fight.

Diana lifts up the tank!

SIR PATRICK:

You came here with such hope and

determination and look at you now.

Mankind did this to you. Join me

in the fight... and we can destroy

them forever!

But still Diana resists, the darkness in her eyes

flickering, Ares sneers with disgust, he turns towards --

THE RUNWAY.

-- using the winds to take hold of a MILITARY VEHICLE

Maru is desperately trying to escape in.

(CONTINUED)

131.

124D CONTINUED: (2) 124D

The vehicle SPIRALS towards Diana, spinning end-over-end

and breaking apart. MARU tumbles out -- lying in front

of Diana BENEATH THE UPHELD TANK.

SIR PATRICK/ARES SIR PATRICK/ARES

Look at her and tell me I'm (ALT)

WRONG. Take her. And then take

them all...

Diana looks at Maru, the anger boiling in her. Maru

cowers. Her METAL MASK FLAPPING OFF in the wind,

grotesque and pathetic.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

She is the perfect example of

these humans. And unworthy of

your sympathy in every way.

CLOSE ON DIANA:

her eyes BLACK as she struggles... she wants so badly to

end Maru.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

Destroy her, Diana.

Diana stands over the trembling, terrified woman -- about

to crush her. But Diana hesitates...

SIR PATRICK/ARES

You know she deserves it, they all

do!

Diana snarls, her arms shaking with the weight of the

tank over her head. Her anger threatening to overtake

her.

Ares uses his power on Diana's lasso, wraps it around

her, holding it tight.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

See the truth for yourself!

Maru looks up at Diana. Diana looks down at her...

STEVE (V.O.)

(from far away)

Diana...

She closes her eyes and in her mind... but it isn't the

ugliness of mankind.

FLASHBACK - EXT. AIRFIELD - NIGHT

She sees STEVE. Their last moment together replaying,

but this time she hears him --

STEVE:

Diana! I have to go.

DIANA:

What are you saying? Steve,

whatever it is, I can do it. Let

me do it --

STEVE:

No. It has to be me. I can save

today, you can save the world.

(beat)

I wish we had more time.

DIANA:

What?

He presses something into her hand. She looks at it,

confused, then looks up to see him running away.

STEVE:

I love you.

Diana looks down in her hands at Steve's watch.

END FLASHBACK.

EXT. AIRFIELD - NIGHT

A GOLDEN GLOW begins to emits from Diana, a warmth within

her building.

The lasso CRACKLES with power, building up a SURGE OF

ENERGY that explodes, runs from Diana, running down the

lasso and into Ares, blasting him backwards!

Diana opens her eyes.

DIANA:

You're wrong about them...

Ares EXPLODES in a NASTY, SNARLING, VICIOUS rage! He

raises his hand -- A MASSIVE STORM OF DEBRIS smashes down

towards Diana and Maru! It strikes into the tank, but

Diana doesn't move!

SIR PATRICK/ARES

NO!
