Wonder Woman 1984

Some days, my childhood feels so very far away.

And others,

I can almost see it.

The magical land of my youth,

like a beautiful dream of when the whole world felt like a promise

and the lessons that lay ahead yetunseen.

Looking back, I wish I'd listened.

Wish I'd watched more closely

and understood.

But sometimes you can't see what you're learning

until you come out the other side.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

I'm gonna miss out.

I've seen this contest

humble even the most seasoned warriors, Diana.

I can do it.

Just do your best.

And remember,

greatness is not what you think.

Pace yourself and watch.

No!

That's not fair!

No. But...

- You took the short path. - But...

- You cheated, Diana. - No.

But that...

That is the truth.

That is the only truth,

and truth is all there is.

But I would've won, if you didn't...

But you didn't.

You cannot be the winner, because you are not ready to win,

and there is no shame in that.

Only in knowing the truth in your heart

and not accepting it.

No true hero is born from lies.

Your time will come, Diana.

When?

When you're ready.

Look to the golden warrior asteria.

She did not become a legend out of haste.

She did it through true acts of bravery.

Like Patience, diligence,

and the courage to face the truth.

One day, you'll become all that you dream of and more,

and everything will be different.

This world is not yet ready for all that you will do.

Welcome to the future.

Life is good, but it can be better.

And why shouldn't it be?

Everything we've ever dreamed about

is right at our fingertips.

But are you reaping the rewards?

Do you...

Have it all?

Slow down, dude.

No way.

Dude!

Welcome to black gold cooperative.

- Oh, my gosh. Guys! - The first oil company

run for the people, by the people.

Think about finally having

everything you've always wished for.

Let's go!

Hey!

For a low monthly fee,

you can own a piece

of the most lucrative industry in the world.

And every time we strike gold,

- you strike gold. - Oh!

No matter who you are, no matter what you do,

you deserve to have it all.

Do you have everything you've ever wanted?

Aren't you tired of always wishing you had more?

- Hey, move it. It's my turn. - Join me today.

- Yes! - Operators are standing by.

You don't need a pile of money or some business degree to get started.

You don't even have to work hard for it.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Don't even think about it.

At black gold cooperative, all you need

is to want it!

We get what we want, and we go.

- What do you want? - None of this junk.

Word is on the street

you got a nice little black market side business going on back there.

If you don't tell, we won't tell.

Yes, yes, yes!

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Yes, yes, yes!

Sir, are you all right?

Gun!

He's got a gun!

Shut up! Please!

Come on, dude. Can't hide. Let's get out of here!

Stop! Mall security!

No, no, you, you, right there!

Right there! Freeze. Stop!

Move, move, move!

Chief, they're running up the escalator.

Hey! Stop! Freeze!

Freeze!

No!

We have several armed assailants running free.

We need the police here, right now.

Freeze!

Freeze!

Freeze! Freeze!

Whoa, whoa! Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

No. Dude, dude, calm...

- Get back, man. I'll do it! - Hey!

Hey, what are you doing?

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

What are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

- I'm not going back! - No, no, no!

Just chill out. Just chill.

- Stand back! - Don't do it!

No, no, no!

Put the kid back.

Listen to me.

Listen to me!

- No! - What are you doing?

Pull her back. Pull her back in!

I'm not going back!

Gonna let her go!

- No, no, no! - No, no!

What? Who? What?

We won't be doing that today.

Whoa.

We... we... we should go...

Oh, my gosh!

Hold tight.

I hate guns.

We've got to go now. Come on.

Yo.

I'm sorry, lady.

- Shh. - I'm sorry. Okay?

It was his idea.

And the authorities still have questions.

In fact, the first is a real doozy, which is,

who exactly even stopped this crime?

If the story around here is to be believed,

it wasn't the police,

but a mysterious female savior

that multiple witnesses saw.

If this sounds familiar, it should.

We've now had more than a half-dozen similar sightings

across the greater d. C. Area in the last year.

Which, of course, begs the biggest question of today,

who is this woman

and where did she come from?

Excuse me. Are you waiting for someone?

No. Just me.

Taxi!

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there.

Hey, we could share, if you like?

No, thanks. I'll wait.

Oh, my.

- Yeah. - Hey, Jake.

Jake, hi. Can you...

Hi. I know, walk much? The latch of my...

Good morning.

Hi. Thank you.

Diana prince, cultural anthropology and archaeology.

Barbara Minerva. Geology, gemology, lithology,

and part-time cryptozoologist.

Oh, wow.

I kept busy in college.

Sorry. It's these heels, you know. It's stupid.

I don't know why I was gonna wear heels. Scientists don't wear heels.

- Sometimes we do. - Right.

- Right. Those are cool! - Have a nice day.

I like those.

Animal print.

Do you want to get lunch?

I, uh...

Not now, obviously.

It's morning. But later today, or whenever.

Like, around... like, at lunchtime?

I have a lot of work today.

- But maybe some other time? - Oh.

- Yeah, I'm busy today, too. - Great.

Ah! Diana, do you happen to know who a Barbara Minerva is?

Oh, hi, Carol. Hi.

It's me. I'm Barbara. Remember? You hired me.

- Started last week. - Oh!

Gemologist?

Yes. And zoologist.

- We had a couple interviews. - Yeah.

Well, the FBI are gonna drop off some artifacts later this afternoon.

The FBI?

- Yeah. Yes. - They're coming here?

The mall heist yesterday,

apparently they were using a jewelry store as a front.

Front for what?

Black market. Stolen jewels and art meant for private buyers.

But we could use your help identifying one in particular.
