Wonderwoman Page #37

The debris combusts around Diana, unable to harm her!

Diana HURLS what's left of the tank aside. As Diana

turns to Ares, Maru runs away.

She walks CALMLY towards Ares.

DIANA:

They're everything you say, but so

much more.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

LIES!

Ares commands everything around him, bringing a MASSIVE

SWIRLING STORM of DEBRIS AND WEAPONS TOGETHER -- he

charges at her in a FURY! But she holds her ground,

deflects the barrage and then -- absorbing the power --

sends Ares back!

Ares falls back, his helmet blown off. Diana walks

towards him.

He stands, creating a MASSIVE LIGHTNING BOLT SPEAR.

SIR PATRICK/ARES

They do not deserve your

protection.

DIANA:

It's not about deserve...

Diana stops, "catches" the massive lightning bolt in her

gauntlets. The energy courses between them.

DIANA:

It's about what you believe... and

I believe in love --

Ares CRACKLES WITH LIGHTNING, summoning EVERYTHING HE CAN

from the STORM ABOVE!

SIR PATRICK/ARES

I WILL DESTROY YOU! THEN I WILL

DESTROY THEM!

Ares sends all of the lightning at Diana -- she raises

her gauntlets "catching" it!

DIANA:

Good-bye, brother.

Diana runs towards Ares as he unleashes the very last of

his power, erupting towards her.

(CONTINUED)

134.

124D CONTINUED: (5) 124D

Diana LEAPS into the AIR over Ares' last blast. She

crosses her bracelets midair. She sends the lightning

BACK INTO Ares!

Ares cries out as the lightning strikes him, overwhelming

him! Ares EXPLODES! A HUGE ERUPTION of POWER creates a

CRATER in the Earth!

And the God of War is gone FOREVER.

As the rain falls all around her, Diana's feet land

softly onto the scorched earth below...

124E EXT. AIRFIELD - DAWN 124E

The rain washes away the blackened smoke from the sky,

DAWN breaking through the clouds.

Diana looks around, the soldiers rousing, as if they were

waking up from a nightmare, the better side of man

returning. They pull their gas masks off. Dr. Maru has

vanished.

Diana gazes out over the battlefield, looking at the

team, the Germans -- the last of the ASH swirling around

her as the SUN RISES. The sunlight hits Diana's face...

Diana looks at Steve's watch -- it's finally stopped

ticking.

SERIES OF SHOTS:

People all over Europe, explode in cheers. For them, the

war is over.

125 EXT. TRAFALGAR SQUARE - DAY 125

Wonderful chaos in Trafalgar Square! CONFETTI,

STREAMERS, FLAGS, people embracing with JOY. HORNS and

BRASS BANDS. CHEERING SOLDIERS with CROWNS OF FLOWERS in

their hair GRAB pretty NURSES for a kiss. DRUMS THUNDER

BY.

Diana and Etta walk towards the massive, wondrous

celebration. Diana is dressed as Diana Prince, hair up,

glasses on. Etta is dressed up, like everybody else

partying in the streets. They take in the joy.

ETTA:

You saved everyone.

(CONTINUED)

135.

125 CONTINUED:
125

DIANA:

(correcting her)

Steve did that.

Charlie, Sameer, and The Chief, cleaned and scrubbed and

wearing suits, join Diana and Etta.

CHARLIE:

(to Diana; excited)

Did Etta tell you? That General

whats-his-name, you know --

ETTA:

Haig.

CHARLIE:

He only went and made us all

spies! Oops. We're off to

Petrograd! Oops.

ETTA:

There's a revolution going on.

Even Chief's coming. You should,

too.

DIANA:

(touched)

I don't think so.

Etta stops in front of a recently erected wall of WAR

MEMORIAL PHOTOGRAPHS. Steve looks dashing, happy, and

very much alive. Diana's already fighting tears.

SAMEER:

Behind all beauty, all wisdom,

there is pain. You must take your

pain and make it beautiful.

DIANA:

Where did you read that?

SAMEER:

I didn't.

(beat)

You taught us that.

She forces a smile.

DIANA (V.O.)

I used to want to save the world.

136.

126 INT. LOUVRE MUSEUM - DIANA'S OFFICE - AS BEFORE (PRESENT 126

DAY)

THE PHOTOGRAPH:
Diana, in WONDER WOMAN ARMOR, and her

TEAM.

DIANA (V.O.)

To end war and bring peace to

mankind.

She contemplates the faces of friends long dead, her eyes

linger on STEVE TREVOR.

DIANA (V.O.)

But now I've touched the darkness

that lives in between the light.

Seen the terrible things men do to

each other in the name of

hatred... and the lengths they'll

go to for love.

(beat)

And now I know that only love can

truly save the world.

(beat)

So I stay and I fight and I give

for the love I know can be. This

is my mission now. Forever.

Diana takes Steve's watch from her pocket, turns it over

in her hand twice, feels its smoothness.

The watch has stopped -- and has been stopped since the

moment Steve died.

She places the watch beside the photograph.

AT HER COMPUTER:
