Wonderwoman Page #5

---

Pushed to her limit, Diana brings both arms up -- then

SLAMS her bracelets together!

BOOSH! A FIELD OF ENERGY EMANATES FROM DIANA'S CORE.

We get the sense that this is just the beginning of her

true POWER. Still, it's powerful enough to knock Antiope

off her feet. Diana stumbles back...

Diana, amazed and elated, realizes that something

unbelievable has happened. A tiny GOLDEN SPARK in her

eye quickly fades.

Diana's ecstatic, scared and confused. She looks to her

mother:
Did you see that?

But Hippolyta is worried about the implications of

Diana's power -- and Diana mistakes it for judgment.

HIPPOLYTA:

What have you done?

Diana looks to Antiope, blood streaming from a cut to the

head. Diana rushes to her side.

DIANA:

I'm sorry --

But Antiope holds up her hand --

ANTIOPE:

Stay back.

Diana looks at the other Amazons, who all stare back in

silence, even Artemis -- then back to her mother's

forlorn face, filled with fear. Diana slowly takes a

step away, feeling frightened, guilty, rejected --

And Diana runs --

A COLD WIND blows across the hill. Fear falls on

Hippolyta's face, taking in Diana's actions.

22 EXT. CLIFF (THEMYSCIRA) - CONTINUOUS ACTION 22

Diana races up a grassy embankment to a CLIFF overlooking

the ocean.

She looks down at her open palms, clenches them shut.

What was that? Then --

An UNFAMILIAR SOUND: a strange gnawing BUZZ. Diana

looks upward, quickly spotting --

A SHAPE on the horizon, moving closer. Something she has

never seen before: A GERMAN WARPLANE, a Fokker, out of

control, trailing SMOKE.

Diana's sharp gaze catches sight of SOMEONE IN THE

COCKPIT, struggling to escape.

The PLANE dives down, crashing into the water!

Without hesitation, Diana DIVES off the cliff, hurtling

hundreds of feet through the air and into the sea.

23 EXT. UNDERWATER (AEGEAN SEA) - MOMENTS LATER 23

The plane SINKS, its PILOT already underwater.

He struggles to break free from the cockpit, but his

MESSENGER BAG is caught!

A loud CREEEEAAAK pierces the water. The PILOT looks up

to see a deep FISSURE running along the tail. It BREAKS

free and the engine and cockpit sink like stones.

As he sinks, he loses breath, the light fading.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, DIANA APPEARS ON THE PLANE'S

TAIL, above the surface. The sun blazes, framing her, an

epic vision -- like an angel.

The PILOT blinks into the light one last time. The DARK

DEPTHS closing in on his face as his eyes fall shut.

Diana DIVES in and grabs the Pilot.

She braces her feet against the plane and rips him away,

kicking to the surface.

17.

24 EXT. SURFACE (AEGEAN SEA) - CONTINUOUS ACTION 24

Diana surfaces with the Pilot, swimming effortlessly to

shore, unaware that behind them a WWI GERMAN

BATTLE-CRUISER and its THREE LANDING CRAFT head towards

the island.

25 EXT. GERMAN BATTLE-CRUISER - DECK - CONTINUOUS ACTION 25

A GERMAN COMMANDER stares into the THICK FOG with FIELD

GLASSES. His LIEUTENANT at his side, bewildered.

GERMAN LIEUTENANT

Where did this fog come from?

GERMAN COMMANDER

Find the plane.

26 EXT. GERMAN LEAD LANDING CRAFT 1 - CONTINUOUS ACTION 26

GERMAN SOLDIER #1 spots something, pointing --

GERMAN SOLDIER #1

(to ship's tillerman)

It's there!

Landing craft 1 steers through the FOG toward the

Fokker's TAIL SECTION, still afloat.

27 EXT. GERMAN LANDING CRAFT 1 - CONTINUOUS ACTION 27

German Soldier #1 REACHES OUT over the side and HIS HAND

disappears in a BLINDING REFLECTION, like fractal SHARDS

of LIGHT hitting a mirror.

He briefly sees a flash of a beautiful island --

startled, he jolts back, the image vanishing into fog.

He leans back out and there it is again! Beyond the

protective RING of FOG and reefs -- AN ISLAND! And Diana

swimming the Pilot toward the beach!

Stunned, he leans inboard, once again enshrouded in a

foggy, cold, gray day.

GERMAN SOLDIER #1

(stammering)

The pilot. He's... there?

The tillerman is skeptical but slowly turns the boat.

18.

28 EXT. BEACH (THEMYSCIRA) - CONTINUOUS ACTION 28

Diana drags the Pilot onto the beach, his bag around his

shoulder.

She gently lays him on the sand and gets her first real

look at the FIRST MAN SHE'S EVER SEEN. His mouth, lips,

jaw, hair, stubble -- captivating.

This is CAPTAIN STEVE TREVOR (30s), rugged, handsome. An

American fighter pilot undercover for the British.

Steve wakes, squinting in the sun, surprised to discover

Diana's not a hallucination. He takes in the strange

surroundings, blown back by her breathtaking beauty.

STEVE (PILOT)

Wow.

She backs away as he sits up, surprised by the timber of

his voice. Diana studies his eyes. They're so blue.

DIANA:

You are a... man?

STEVE:

Yes, I mean --

(lowering his voice)

Yeah. Do I not look like a...

where am I?

DIANA:

You are on Themyscira.

STEVE:

Thema-- say it again?

DIANA:

Who are you?

They're cut off by the ear-splitting SOUNDS OF SCRAPING

METAL. Diana and Steve turn to see the GERMAN

BATTLE-CRUISER running aground on the protective REEF

around Themyscira.

STEVE:

I'm one of the good guys, and

those are the bad guys.

The wounded battle-cruiser sinks, but her THREE GERMAN

LANDING CRAFT steam towards the beach.

STEVE:

Y'know... Germans.
