THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .1

EXT. GREEK PALACE - DAY

A beautiful Greek City fills the screen. A Majestic Palace in the background surrounded by immaculate stone and marble buildings.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) There was once a beautiful City named THEMYSCIRA, by the edge of a river called THERMODON.

Several tall and beautiful women, wearing peplos of various colors. Several are simply chatting amongst themselves by a beautiful flowered fountain.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Inhabited by a civilization of warrior women known as AMAZONS. Powerful and mighty were they. Several fully dressed guards, are gathered around a training session. Two Amazon women are in the middle of a marked circle in the dirt. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Skilled were they in the art of battle and combat. Skilled and feared. The practice fight between the two Amazons is fierce, deadly, but controlled. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) So feared were they by man. HERODOTUS called them Androktones , "killers of Men." One of the combatants uses a powerful maneuver and overcomes her adversary. She falls as the other is about to deliver a death blow, then stops. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) They were led by two noble Queens... The victor removes her helmet to reveal. A tall beauty of flaming red hair. She smiles as she extends her hand to help her fallen comrade. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) QUEEN ANTIOPE, a fierce warrior and General of the armies... THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .2

INT. GREEK PALACE - CONTINUING

Inside the palace a man servant leaves a tray of fruits on a marbled pedestal.

EXT. GREEK PALACE/BALCONY - CONTINUING Standing in the balcony facing the courtyard, a tall beautiful woman, with flowing, curly, long dark hair. Dressed in a long beautiful soft white silk dress, watches out to the citizens below.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) And QUEEN HIPPOLYTA, ruler of Themyscira. A kind and gentle woman who pursued diplomacy before war.

We notice she is wearing a GIRDLE made of GOLD. Queen Hippolyta turns when the doors behind her open to reveal... INT. GREEK PALACE - CONTINUING A strong, muscled, bearded, wearing a flowing cape of red and a RED PLUMED TROJAN HELMET. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) One day she received a visit from her lover and inamorato. ARES THE GOD OF WAR... Ares removes his helmet upon entering the chamber, and drops to one knee in sign of respect. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Men were not permitted to set foot upon their lands. Only as slaves and servants or unless called upon to render service. Hippolyta rushes to his side with a smile. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) But that night.... INT. HIPPOLYTA'S BED CHAMBER - NIGHT The room is lit by candles, as they lay in bed making love. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) Ares seduction had another agenda in mind. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .3

While kissing Queen Hippolyta, his hand reaches out and drops a liquid into her drink. A goblet made of pure gold, as he picks it up and gently passes it to her.

We see the goblet slip onto the marbled floor, as her hand goes limp.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) His purpose was to take back the Golden Girdle of Gaea he himself had given to Queen Hippolyta.

Ares is standing by her dresser as he takes the Golden Girdle in his hands.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) For it had the power to enhance their strength and heighten their abilities. But, it would also lead its wearer into insanity if worn for an extended period of time. EXT. GREEK PALACE - MORNING Outside the main steps of the Palace, Ares soldiers surround the Amazons. Queen Antiope stands in front of the Amazons sword ready. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) With the assistance of Herakles. Ares threatened to spill the blood of Queen Hippolyta if they did not surrender to them unconditionally. HERAKLES has Queen Hippolyta in chains, his sword across her neck. Ares is standing on the other side of her. Queen Hippolyta looks extremely saddened by the betrayal. Queen Antiope drops her sword. INT. DUNGEON - AFTERNOON We see several of the Amazons locked away. A metal worker puts the final touches on iron shackles on the wrist of Queen Hippolyta. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) They were shackled and imprisoned. Queen Hippolyta is standing in her cell, she looks across towards Queen Antiope in another cell. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .4

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Some of the Amazons were taken away to be used by Ares soldiers.

Queen Hippolyta tries hopelessly to reach out to one of the Amazons being taken forcibly away by two soldiers.

Queen Hippolyta alone, in tears behind her cell bars. Her outreached hand uselessly extended in front of her.

INT. DUNGEON/CELL - NIGHT Queen Hippolyta is praying in one corner.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) One night after many days of prayer. Queen Hippolyta is visited upon by the GODDESS APHRODITE. Whom saw the love and sadness Queen Hippolyta had for her Sisters. A Beautiful Blonde haired woman appears in front of Queen Hippolyta in the form of a glowing spirit. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) The Goddess offered them their freedom on the condition that they leave the land of men and under no circumstance should the blood of man be shed. Queen Hippolyta listens intently, and then nods as she bows her head down. She brings the iron shackles up towards The Goddess Aphrodite. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Queen Hippolyta agreed. The chains on the bracelets dissolve, leaving the bracelets still on. The cell doors all mysteriously open. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) But Queen Antiope's heart was so filled with rage. Hippolyta turns to see Queen Antiope in the open doorway. Queen Antipoe rubs her bracelets as she looks down to her arms, then looks up towards Queen Hippolyta. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .5

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) She disobeyed the condition set upon them by The Goddess Aphrodite.

EXT. GREEK PALACE - CONTINUING Antiope has her armor and sword, as she strikes down one of Ares soldiers.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) And took it upon her to kill her captors, as she led a handful of her Sisters and slaughtered every single man that had been left to guard the city.

We see men one by one being cut down by the Amazon women. An Amazon warrior with blood splatter walks up to Queen Hippolyta and drops to one knee and extends to her the Golden Girdle taken from the palace. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Her Golden Girdle, found by a blood spattered warrior, was returned. Both Ares and Herakles had left the city and were not aware of the events that had unfolded. Hippolyta takes the Golden Girdle, a sad look crosses her features. The Goddess Aphrodite appears to the Amazons, as they all quickly drop to their knees. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) The Goddess Aphrodite forgave the Amazons for disobeying her. But as punishment for their cruel savagery, the bracelets shall remain on them for all eternity, as a reminder of their captivity. All of the bracelets turn into a solid color of gold. Antiope gives Hippolyta a look pleading with her eyes. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .6

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Antiope pleaded with Hippolyta, to beg Aphrodite to remove the bracelets.

Queen Hippolyta simply looks at her and sadly turns away. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) But The Queen refused and accepted their punishment from The Goddess Aphrodite.

We see the sun about to come up, as the Amazons are in an ancient Greek Warship.

FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) They commanded a vessel. In the bow of the vessel stands Queen Hippolyta, along side her is EPIONE the healer. In the aft of the vessel, Queen Antiope watches the city disappear in the distance. FEMALE NARRATOR (V.O.) (continuing) Leaving the land of men, never to be heard of, or seen from again. As it sails away towards the horizon. EXT. SKY - PRESENT DAY A C-23 Military cargo plane travels south towards Guantanamo Bay. The sky looks dark and foreboding. INT. C-23 PLANE - CONTINUING In the cargo area there are about twelve men secured to the floor plates in handcuffs and chains, all of them have hoods over their heads. Watching over them are eight soldiers. Five of them are relaxing, as the other three are armed and are keeping watch. There are several crates within the aircraft braced in the back, to the right of the cockpit. INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Commandeering the aircraft is COLONEL STEVE ROCKWELL TREVOR, his headphones rest on his shoulders. To his right, CAPTAIN LYLE HOWARD. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .7

Captain Howard glances upwards towards the sky.

CAPTAIN HOWARD I hate flying in this weather. We're expecting another storm front moving in from the East.

STEVE (glancing over to Captain Howard) Can't wait to get these boys to Guantanamo Bay, refuel and ask permission to go to the old Ramey Air Force Base if weather permits it.

CAPTAIN HOWARD I can't believe we no longer have any military bases in P.R. That was such a sweet R and R. STEVE I hear you LYLE. At least the Coast Guard there is nice enough to accommodate us. CAPTAIN HOWARD Yep, they have room for the C- 130's that fly in from Florida. They'll have plenty of room for us little guys. STEVE Us? CAPTAIN HOWARD With the Colonel's permission, I'd like to tag along Sir. STEVE Captain Howard... (beat) You have my permission. CAPTAIN HOWARD Sweet! The door opens as FIRST LIEUTENANT RAMIREZ peeks his head in. He brings them some hot coffee. LIEUTENANT RAMIREZ Coffee, Sir. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .8

STEVE Thank you Lieutenant.

CAPTAIN HOWARD Thanks GABE.

STEVE How are our passengers holding out back there?

LIEUTENANT RAMIREZ Fine Sir. How long do we have until we arrive Sir?

STEVE With no complications, about another forty-five minutes to an hour.

LIEUTENANT RAMIREZ I'll pass that along sir. Thank you. He closes the cockpit door and secures it. INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING Lieutenant Ramirez, walks over to one of the sentries. As they speak. We slowly move up above one of the larger crates, and notice a slight tear on one of the secure straps the crate is hooked up. INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Captain Howard is looking out into the sky ahead of them as his headphones come to life. He quickly taps Steve on the shoulder then his headphone as Steve quickly puts them on. MALE COAST GUARD (O.S.) Attention all approaching aircraft be advised of weather conditions by the T.C.W.C. Severe winds already reaching fifty-two knots, within the following coordinates. Thirty-two point twenty degrees North, sixty-four point forty-five degrees West... They both look to each other. The information by the Coast Guard continues, as Captain Howard takes off his head set and looks towards Steve. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .9

CAPTAIN HOWARD It's your call Sir.?

Steve stays thinking about it for a moment. Then switches his microphone so that the men in the cargo bay can hear him.

STEVE This is Colonel Steve Trevor.

INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING Lieutenant Ramirez listens in on Steve's message as several soldiers look up towards the speaker system on the plane.

STEVE (O.S.) We have been advised by the Coast Guard of a Tropical Storm. Expect a rough ride gentlemen, secure belongings and loose items. Over. LIEUTENANT RAMIREZ (not too happy) Shit. INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING STEVE Ramirez isn't going to be too happy about that. CAPTAIN HOWARD How come? STEVE Several of the prisoner's had their hoods removed last time, because of fear of suffocation from their own motion sickness. CAPTAIN HOWARD Aww man. EXT. C-23 PLANE - LATER The plane is flying through some real rough weather. INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING The men are all prepared as they brace themselves. The cargo planes shakes violently in the storm. Lieutenant Ramirez faces the prisoners who now have their hoods removed. Ramirez secures himself with one of the straps by the wall. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .10

The prisoners look uneasy as they yell about the rough ride in Arabic and French.

LIEUTENANT RAMIREZ Keep it down!

INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Steve and Captain Howard try to maintain the plane leveled as another nasty bump from the fierce winds rocks the cockpit, sending one of the cups of coffee flying into the air, spilling on Captain Howard's lap.

CAPTAIN HOWARD This thing is kicking our ass.

STEVE No shit.

Suddenly another nasty bump really shakes the cockpit.

INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING This one hits the back hard, as Ramirez tries to hold his balance. Suddenly the strap breaks on the large crate sending it sprawling across the plane. Its first victim is Ramirez, as he is crushed by the huge crate. It continues as other crate now set loose wrecks havoc in the cargo area. As the large crate crushes several of the prisoners secured to the ground. The crate breaks one of the floor hooks where three men were secured, as the chains are now set loose. Suddenly the weapon Ramirez was holding slides towards Prisoner Number One. One of the soldiers fall on the group of men as they quickly strangle him, Prisoner Number Two pulls off his side arm. A soldier quickly brings his weapon up and is knocked sideways by one of the crates. He is then shot by Prisoner Number Two. All hell breaks loose as those that were not crushed by the crates now fight for freedom as two of the prisoners are shot by soldiers, as the soldiers in turn are shot by Prisoner Number One. INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Steve and Captain Howard are shocked buy the sudden sound of gunfire. Captain Howard quickly gets off his seat to secure the door to the cockpit from inside. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .11

Suddenly another sharp bump sends him against the metal edge of one of the metal boxes, cutting him on the head and sending him down to his knees.

STEVE (loudly on the microphone) MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, THIS IS...

INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING Prisoner Number Three has obtained a weapon as the shoot out continues inside the plane.

The last two soldiers are under cover as bursts of fire pin them down behind one of the crates.

Prisoner Number One, has taken the keys from a dead soldier and begins releasing the other prisoners. SOLDIER ONE (loudly on microphone) SIR! THE PRISONERS... INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Steve has gotten off his seat and has placed his head set on the side as he quickly helps Captain Howard to his chair. SOLDIER ONE (O.S.) Have accessed weapons, we are under heavy fire... Steve picks up the head set and listens in. SOLDIER ONE (O.S.) (continuing) Repeat, hostiles are loose and armed. We are under heavy fire, do not relinquish aircraft... Suddenly more shooting is heard. Then... Complete silence. STEVE Oh my God. INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING We see five of the prisoners, taking as many weapons as they can. Prisoner Number One walks away from the dead soldier that was on the com with Steve. He removes the soldiers side arm and secures it on him. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .12

Prisoner Number One walks over to the cockpit door and tries to open it. It does not budge.

He signals the men to step back as he takes a few steps back and begins shooting at the door with the automatic weapon.

The door itself is reinforced, as the bullets simply bounce off.

He snarls angrily as he looks around, his gaze stops at something that has called his attention.

INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Steve and Captain Howard glance towards the door that was just shot at.

CAPTAIN HOWARD You know we can't let them commandeer this plane? STEVE I know. Suddenly the decompression gauge comes to life, notifying them a hatch or door has been opened. STEVE (continuing) What the hell? Suddenly a noise attracts their attention. Coming from the right side of the plane. Captain Howard quickly looks out to see... EXT. C-23 PLANE/RIGHT WING - CONTINUING The propeller being shot at. Sparks fly off, suddenly a cloud of smoke appears, as the propeller stalls then stops dead. INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING CAPTAIN HOWARD THEY'RE TAKING US DOWN! EXT. C-23 PLANE/RIGHT WING - CONTINUING All hell breaks loose as the propeller suddenly catches fire. INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Captain Howard looks back out again as his eyes flash towards something curiously. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .13

He stays staring at something out of his window, something that should not be there.

EXT. C-23 PLANE - CONTINUING The plane quickly loses altitude as the storm hits them really hard. The wind and water from the rain stops the fire on the wing from spreading.

INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Steve and Captain Howard try to control the falling aircraft.

STEVE I CAN'T IT HOLD UP! WE'RE GOING DOWN!

Captain Howard takes the com as he yells into it again. CAPTAIN HOWARD (loudly) MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY... INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING The men close the door, as they sense the plane coming down. PRISONER # 1 Secure yourselves. The other four men quickly go to secure themselves. EXT. C-23 PLANE - CONTINUING We see the plane coming down too fast as it is about to hit water. INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Steve tries with all his might to control the falling aircraft. STEVE BRACE YOURSELF! EXT. C-23 PLANE - CONTINUING The plane slides a little forward, suddenly the tail dips into the water with such tremendous force, that it tears off half of the back portion of the aircraft spewing cargo and metal across the ocean. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .14

INT. C-23 PLANE/CARGO AREA - CONTINUING

We see two of the men fall to their deaths along with the debris, as the other three hold on for dear life. Prisoner Number One loses the automatic weapon.

EXT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Suddenly the plane trips over, flipping as the nose heads into the water.

INT. C-23 PLANE/COCKPIT - CONTINUING Steve and Howard are shaken.

The water begins to seep into the cockpit. The cockpit lid opens as Steve grabs Captain Howard.

They both begin swimming up towards the light. Steve takes one more look down at the fallen aircraft sinking into the depths of the sea. He looks up to see something floating on the surface of the water, ahead of him Captain Howard reaches the surface before he does. EXT. OCEAN/BERMUDA TRIANGLE - CONTINUING Steve exits the water onto a life raft as he looks up to see the three main prisoners that have survived the crash and have commandeered a life raft from the fallen plane, a few small supply bags were grabbed before the aircraft went down. They are armed as they push Captain Howard towards the edge, who begins to help Steve up onto the raft. Prisoner Number One eyes them both carefully with the 9MM in hand. PRISONER # 1 (french or spanish accent) What is your rank and name? STEVE Colonel Steve Trevor. PRISONER # 1 Colonel Trevor. (beat) Do you know where we are? Steve looks around trying to get his bearings, then turns to face his captors. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .15

STEVE We are somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

PRISONER # 1 How far are we from land?

STEVE Land? There is no land for miles.

Captain Howard looks away from his captors as Prisoner Number One notices this.

PRISONER # 1 You. Speak?

Captain Howard gives Steve a look. CAPTAIN HOWARD In the air before we came down, I thought I saw an island. PRISONER # 1 Where? Captain Howard points towards his right just ahead of the men with guns. PRISONER # 1 (continuing) We go. Find this island. STEVE The Coast Guard is probably already on their way, searching for us. PRISONER # 1 Then for your sake. Hope that we find this island before they find us. EXT. EDGE OF THEMYSCIRA ISLAND/WATERS - LATER Steve and Captain Howard are rowing the life raft. Prisoner Number Three is behind them, and Prisoner Number Two in the front, as they maintain their weapons on them. They row closer towards the island. They stop rowing to look at the island itself. Steve looks at a beautiful Tropical Island just ahead of them. In the background covered by the dense bush and palm trees filled with coconuts, we see a towering mountain. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .16

Prisoner Number One turns to look towards Steve and Captain Howard.

He brings his gun up and points it towards Steve, an intense few seconds pass as...

Prisoner Number One begins to squeeze the trigger. Suddenly, Prisoner Number One changes direction of the gun and shoots Captain Howard instead.

STEVE Nooooooo!

Steve turns to face Prisoner Number One. He gets ready to pounce him but holds back as he is about to get fired upon by Prisoner Number Two.

PRISONER # 1 You choose to live, or die? STEVE You bastard why did you have to kill him? PRISONER # 1 I only need one hostage. Prisoner Number Three forces him to sit back down. Steve turns to look towards the dead body of Captain Howard as it floats for only a moment then begins to sink under the water, as the water turns crimson. Steve brings his head down and closes his eyes. EXT. THEMYSCIRA ISLAND/BEACH - DAY The four of them are on the beach walking into the jungle. Steve has his hands tied in front of him as one of the men pushes him ahead with his weapon as he leads the group. EXT. THEMYSCIRA ISLAND/JUNGLE - LATER The men continue trekking for a while. They approach a small clearing. There are several large trees, as most of the dense brush is behind them now. To their left towards the mountain a slight ridge of a hill. More trees and vegetation abound beyond the ridge. They stop as they suddenly hear noises coming from the top of the ridge. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .17

Prisoner Number Two quickly turns to face towards the sound.

Steve is pushed down by Prisoner Number One. Steve throws a glance to see the man pointing the 9MM at his head. The man places his finger on his lips for Steve to remain silent.

Prisoner Number Three secures himself behind a large tree and prepares his weapon as he looks out over the ridge.

Prisoner Number Two stands there, with weapon in hand still looking around as the jungle has now turned eerily quiet.

Suddenly he senses movement in one particular area. All of a sudden he begins firing in a particular direction.

After a short burst of automatic fire, Prisoner Number Two stops firing and tosses an inquisitive quick glance towards Prisoner Number Three by the tree. Suddenly Prisoner Number Two is struck by an arrow as it impales itself on his chest. His weapon goes off harmlessly on the ground as another arrow quickly joins the first one on his chest. Prisoner Number Three quickly turns from around the tree and shoots towards a figure on one knee on the edge of the ridge with a bow in her hand, close to her is her shield. She quickly drops the bow and brings up the shield for protection from the short bursts of the automatic weapon, as a few of the bullets deflect off the shield. She quickly seeks cover behind a large tree towards the right of the shooter. We can tell it's an AMAZON by the short white Greek styled dress and wearing leather straps to sustain her sword and gear. A Golden Helmet covers the features and head of DIANA PRINCE. Her identity is not revealed to us as yet. Prisoner Number Three continues shooting from the cover of his tree. Suddenly another arrow slams into the tree near his face, he quickly hides back and changes the direction of his shooting, towards another tree on his left side. Prisoner Number One pulls Steve to his feet as they quickly begin to move behind some trees, and circle around. Prisoner Number Three quickly takes several shots towards the direction of both trees again. Then hides back behind the tree as another arrow strikes the tree. We finally reveal POLYDORA. She has her bow ready to strike again, as she turns and fires towards the tree. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .18

We follow the arrow as it impales the tree Prisoner Number Three is hiding behind.

Diana glances towards Polydora behind the tree. As she signals silently with her hands to "use the spear."

Polydora tries to move towards the spears that are lying on the ground between both trees in the open clearing. Because of the ridge the spears were not visible to the shooters.

Polydora is suddenly forced back behind the tree by the automatic weapon fire From Prisoner Number Three.

Polydora silently nods "no" towards Diana as she prepares another arrow on her bow.

Diana silently signals her to shoot her arrow on the count of three.

Prisoner Number Three turns and shoots towards Polydora, as he throws a quick glance and shoots towards the tree Diana is hiding behind as well. Polydora nods as she prepares another arrow. Diana gives her the first signal. Polydora takes a deep breath. Prisoner Number Three prepares his weapon, ready to shoot as he cautiously peeks around. Diana makes the second signal. Polydora pulls back the arrow, as it points towards the ground, you can tell she has incredible strength by just how far she pulls back her bow, her head turns slightly to wait for the third count from Diana. Diana makes the third signal as she moves towards the two spears on the ground near their equipment. Prisoner Number Three turns and fires towards Diana as she moves with incredible speed towards the spears. Polydora turns to shoot her arrow. The bullets easily miss and land behind Diana as she reaches the spears. Another arrow lands near the area where his head is as Prisoner Number Three runs out of bullets. He quickly drops the cartridge and starts to reload the last one. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .19

Diana lands, and rolls on the ground as her hand picks up a spear and in one swift motion tosses it towards Polydora.

We see the spear travel through the air. Polydora drops her bow and catches the spear in one smooth and swift movement. She spins to the other side of the tree and lets loose the spear with all her might.

Prisoner Number Three prepares to shoot when he hears the whistling sound of something flying through the air with incredible speed.

Suddenly the spear impales itself through the tree and then through Prisoner Number Three, as he drops his weapon, and places a hand on the spear as if trying to grab it and pull it off as he dies standing, with the spear sticking out of his chest.

Diana stands and faces Polydora, without warning. Prisoner Number One appears behind her and points his 9MM hand gun at the back of Diana's head. Just as he pulls the trigger. Steve deflects his hand sending the bullet into the air harmlessly above Diana's head. Diana turns to see Prisoner Number One and Steve struggle for just a moment. Prisoner Number One pushes Steve and hits him with the gun at his head, making Steve lose his balance. Steve falls from the ridge area and rolls down towards a cluster of large rocks. His head slaps very hard against a boulder rendering him unconscious. Prisoner Number One turns to face Diana, and for the first moment does not truly understands. A twisted smile forms on his features, he brings his weapon up and shoots at Diana. Diana easily deflects the bullet with one of her Gold Bracelets. Prisoner Number One completely surprised begins shooting quickly as... Diana runs towards him deflecting each shot with ease, she shortens the distance between them. Prisoner Number One fires until he empties his clip, as he suddenly sees Diana leaping into the air. Diana draws her sword in the air then comes down. The sword slashes his chest, she then spins and slashes the man again, then delivers the DEATH BLOW. Prisoner Number One, falls face down dead. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .20

Diana spins her sword as she clears it of blood and puts it away. She turns to see Polydora walking up to her as she places her bow on her back.

DIANA Are you alright Polydora?

POLYDORA I am unharmed Diana. Who were these men?

DIANA I do not know. But this disturbance is sure to attract the BANA-MIGHDALL.

POLYDORA We must leave this area quickly.

Diana and Polydora walk towards their equipment.

POLYDORA (continuing) I will not leave my spear. Diana then throws a glance behind her towards the direction of the unconscious Steve still laying by the large rock. Polydora stares emotionless at the dead eyes of Prisoner Number Three. She tears at his shirt and with her right hand she pulls and slides her spear off of him and the tree with one hand. Polydora bends down and using the dead man's clothing she continues wiping the blood off her hands and spear. She looks up and notices Diana walking down the ridge towards the unconscious form of Steve. POLYDORA (continuing) Diana? Diana reaches the unmoving form of Steve Trevor. Steve stirs for a moment as he looks up everything seems faded and out of focus. To him the appearance of Diana seems Angelic. STEVE (softly) Beautiful Angel... He passes out, as the gash on his head looks pretty nasty. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .21

Diana checks for a pulse and smiles slightly.

Polydora reaches her side. POLYDORA What are you doing?

DIANA He still lives.

POLYDORA He is no of concern to us. Leave him to the animals of the jungle with the other carcasses to feast upon.

DIANA No. He saved my life. I shall spare his. We shall take him to the Queen. Let her decide his fate. POLYDORA (not too happy) Fine. You carry him! Diana, tenderly picks him up effortlessly, and walks up the ridge with Steve. EXT. THEMYSCIRA ISLAND/JUNGLE - LATER Dogs are fighting over the carcass of the speared man by the tree. Suddenly the sounds of several horses approaching draw nearer. In the front leading the group is QUEEN PHTHIA, a very powerful yet beautiful blonde haired Amazon. On the ridge path, we see approximately eight Amazon riders on horse back all wearing armor and leather, these are royal guards, the lead rider's best fighters. Queen Phthia stops her riders and dismounts, she kneels down and touches the ground as she inspects the area. Several of the Amazons dismount their horses, as one of them throws a rock towards the dogs, hitting one of them who yelps and takes off running. From the ground Queen Phthia, looks towards the dead man Diana had taken down with her sword. She observes ANTANDRE her General walking back towards her. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .22

Queen Phthia rises as Antandre approaches her and placing her right hand on her chest bows down and keeps her head down.

ANTANDRE My Queen. This man is an Outlander. He was killed by sword.

QUEEN PHTHIA It has been centuries since an uninvited Outlander has set foot onto this Island.

Antandre simply keeps her head bowed as Queen Phthia walks down the ridge and looks at the man fallen by the bow.

QUEEN PHTHIA (continuing) Hmmm. I see our sisters have been enjoying a little sport. She walks over to the tree. She is at the other side of the tree when she leans in and sneaks a peak through the hole in the tree caused by Polydora's spear. A beautiful blue eye suddenly appears on the other side though the hole. Queen Phthia calmly steps back and around, and gives a disdained look at the partially eaten dead man, as flies swarm around his carcass. Stepping back from the tree is MALA a beautiful Blond haired and well built beauty with spear in hand. QUEEN PHTHIA (continuing) Speak to me MALA? MALA Spear, powerful, and very accurate. Mala smiles towards the Queen and nods. QUEEN PHTHIA Whom do we know among our sisters, can throw with such accuracy and force. Besides you Mala? MALA Polydora! QUEEN PHTHIA That means the Princess Diana was near. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .23

ANTANDRE (O.S.) My Queen.

Queen Phthia turns to see Antandre crouching down at the area Steve Trevor had been injured. She makes her way there.

QUEEN PHTHIA What have you found?

ANTANDRE Another Outlander, seriously injured...

She turns to see the footprints of Diana, she had left while carrying Steve's additional weight.

ANTANDRE (continuing) Carried off by an Amazon. QUEEN PHTHIA How long ago would you say this occurred? ANTANDRE Not more than three hours my Queen. MALA (to Antandre) Can we track them? ANTANDRE Yes. Mala quickly turns to make her way back to her horse. QUEEN PHTHIA Wait. (beat) Does it not strike you odd? That they would take an injured Outlander back to her city? MALA Perhaps this man is already dead? QUEEN PHTHIA No. I do not think so. Queen Phthia starts walking back towards the horses. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .24

QUEEN PHTHIA (continuing) Come let us return home, we still have a war to prepare for.

INT. CITY - CONTINUING The city is a replica of ancient Greece, homes are built with stone and marble.

Pillars and statues are seen depicting the Greek Gods of Mythology. All the statues and busts that are seen are of the Female Gods. The streets are clean, vegetation in abundance it is in fact a PARADISE.

Diana and polydora ride into the city. Steve is dragged by a makeshift gurney behind Diana.

POLYDORA I hope you know what you are doing Diana? Several Amazons bring their vision up and stop in surprise to see Diana of all people bringing into the city an injured male, wearing the clothing of an Outlander. A small group of young girls, follow along for a brief moment. Diana smiles as she looks down towards two of the girls particularly. A dark haired DONNA TROY and a younger blonde haired CASSANDRA. DIANA DONNA? Are you not supposed to be with your instructors at this time? The girls start to laugh as Polydora gestures to the girls to go away. DONNA Come on Cassandra. Diana smiles as she watches the two girls run away. POLYDORA (to Diana) I will inform the Queen of our arrival. DIANA I shall join you at the great hall, after I leave this one with Epione the Healer. Polydora nods in disapproval, turns and quickly rides off. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .25

Diana moves her horse towards a small but humble home and dismounts.

Epione, A tall, mature, but still beautiful Amazon walks out. She is the CHIEF HEALER of the city. Diana finally removes her helmet and we can see her beautifully striking features, her hair is as dark and as flowingly beautiful as her mother's the Queen Hippolyta.

DIANA (continuing) Greetings Sister. I have need of your healing abilities.

EPIONE And what have we here?

INT. GREAT HALL - CONTINUING Polydora walks into the great hall. It is a beautiful marbled hall, with pillars and busts of the Goddess Aphrodite. A throne sits in the middle facing a set of huge double doors. To the right a section is used as we see. Queen Hippolyta is gathered by a table with several OLDER AMAZONS. Her Senators, HELLENE, SMYRNA, and AGAVE. There are several Amazons in uniform as well. LIEUTENANT EGERIA, PHILIPPUS CAPTAIN of the GUARD, and IPHITO. Several soldiers at the other side of the table are wearing full gear, their helmets in their hands. They gather around a topographical map of Themyscira. There are strategically placed pieces on the map, as if planning a battle. They turn to see Polydora approaching them. Her helmet in her left arm, her hair is bleach white and braided. She stops before reaching the table and dropping to one knee, she places her right clenched fist on the left side of her chest and bows down towards their direction. POLYDORA My Queen. QUEEN HIPPOLYTA Rise my sister. Tell me what has your reconnaissance discovered? POLYDORA You were correct my Queen. The Bana-Mighdall have fortified their armies, it appears they also seek the MARPESIANS to add to their numbers. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .26

QUEEN HIPPOLYTA I know Queen Marpesia may not be swayed so easily. But, Queen Lampedo is the daughter of MARS, his blood runs through her veins. Lieutenant Egeria?

EGERIA QUEEN ANTIANEIRA, has already enlisted her legion to our armies if needed.

AGAVE I still believe we should continue pursuing the channels of communication, find a medium ground instead of this course.

PHILIPPUS That has been tried and attempted with no success. How many ambassadors are we going to send to their deaths Agave? Suddenly two more Amazons in uniform arrive with helmets in hand as they approach the table, they both clench their fists and bow. QUEEN HIPPOLYTA Ahh, what news have you brought to me THESEIS? THESEIS The GORGONS of the northern portion of AFRICA, pledge their allegiance to you my Queen and are prepared if needed. The Queen turns back and faces the table. QUEEN HIPPOLYTA IPITHO? IPHITO My sister ANDROMACHE of the THERMODONTINES, will fight by our side if needed. QUEEN HIPPOLYTA What say you Smyrna? SMYRNA The AGEANS. Nor the LYDIANS. Wish no part of this war. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .27

There is a silence between them as Queen Hippolyta takes a step away from the table in thought.

QUEEN HIPPOLYTA I do not blame them for I too truly do not wish war between my own sisters. But we must prepare for the inevitable.

Her thoughts trail away for a moment, then as if an after thought, turns towards Polydora.

QUEEN HIPPOLYTA (continuing) Polydora? Where is my daughter Diana?

Polydora hesitates for a moment. Queen Hippolyta gives Polydora a very suspicious glance. INT. EPIONE'S HOME/MEDICAL CHAMBER - CONTINUING Epione walks away from a table where Steve is peacefully lying down in deep sleep. A blanket covers his body. He has been stripped down to his underwear. His head has a fresh bandage. INT. EPIONE'S HOME/WAITING ROOM - CONTINUING Standing outside is Diana, as she waits patiently for Epione who exits the bedroom and walks pass her and preparing herself a cup of tea. DIANA How is he? EPIONE Fortunate that you brought him to me in time. He shall heal from his wounds. Diana smiles. Epione notices this, she smiles as well and turns towards the area where Steve lies in sleep. EPIONE (continuing) Your thoughts betray you Princess. DIANA I am merely concerned with his recovery. After all he did save my life. THEMYSCIRA: LEGEND OF THE AMAZONS .28

EPIONE Imagine that. A mere mortal risking his life to save an Amazonian Princess. What a story that shall make for our scholars. (beat) Still... He is of fair countenance. Would you not agree?

DIANA Epione. That was bold, even for you.

EPIONE Forgive me my Princess. With my age, even I have no such qualms with speaking the truth.

DIANA Hmm. And did you have to remove all of his garments? EPIONE I had to make sure he had sustained no other injury. She takes a sip of her tea, as Diana gives her a suspicious glance. Diana turns as she prepares to leave, she stops at the doorway. DIANA Take good care of him and notify me the moment he recovers well enough to speak. EPIONE Of course my Princess.
