(male #1) 'That's never going to work.‘

When did the Greeks ever use

precipitate of bismuth in their potions?

The Greeks didn't.

But I'm making a counter-potion, remember?

boom

'And you actually believe that pathetic concoction'

will be enough to remove the annihilators vulnerability?

Shh! Be quiet, Felix. I'm trying to concentrate.

Tala, you've come a long way since my untimely demise.

But the student, however gifted

still has much to learn from the teacher.

Maybe I wouldn't if we had spent

more time on curriculum and less time..

boom

And this, from the woman

who once braved the gates of Tartarus itself

to collect my mortal remains?

Right, and I'm supposed to take advice from you

when without my spell, your spirit would have been..

[huffs] ...lost in the winds.

Yes, uh, so very kind of you to trap me in this mirror

for all eternity.

- Beats the alternative. - True enough.

Still, it's hard to believe

you can't solve your annihilator problem.

The answer's simplicity itself.

Are you going to tell me or just keep tormenting me?

No, no, repeat after me.

By the power of Zeus, free his essence from this vessel

and open the path to power.

By the power of Zeus

free his essence from this vessel

and open the path to power.

That didn't do any...thing.

Surprise, sweetheart.

[gasps]

Felix, wait!

[gasping]

This is really bad, isn't it?

You have no idea.

(Wonder Woman) This was a great idea, Wally.

I can't remember the last time

we've had a chance to catch up.

Mostly my fault.

I've been pretty busy in Central City.

I want to hear all about it.

I saw some of it on the news

but it's not the same as..

I'm sorry.

I thought we were having dinner tonight.

Is it Tuesday? Silly me.

Making dinner plans with two beautiful women

on the same night.

Uh-huh.

We can do this another time.

Don't be ridiculous.

We can all have a meal together.

It's a chance for us to get reacquainted, patch things up.

Assuming we want to.

Now, there's an example of exactly the kind of thing

we're not gonna do anymore, right?

I'm tellin' you, once we clear the air

everybody's gonna be pals again.

I always thought the reason you two don't get along

is that you're so much alike.

(Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman) Like her?

You weren't gonna eat that, were you?

You guys aren't even trying.

You could at least talk to each other.

The pasta's good.

It's the sauce.

- This isn't gonna work, is it? - Not a chance.

Hey, where you going? Come on.

I had dinner with two women at the same time.

Because I'm a stud.

[man groaning]

[groaning continues]

Etrigan, calm yourself. Let me help you.

The gates of Tartarus swing both ways.

[groaning]

The balance tips towards chaos.

[groaning]

- 'Usurper!‘ - 'Fiend!‘

[groaning continues]

- What's happening here? - I don't know.

Suddenly all of our members with magical powers..

Well, you can see.

[all groaning]

[speaking in foreign language]

They're in agony. What can we do?

I'm researching.

As soon as I learn something

I'll let you know.

Uh-h-h.

[intense music]

(Wonder Woman) 'Flash!‘

No, no, it's the original speedster.

Hey, Diana, I let myself in.

Hermes. How may I serve the messenger of the Gods?

Don't be so formal, Diana.

You're practically a member of the family.

Not that this is a social visit.

I've got something for you here. It's-it's pretty important.

Zeus paid for overnight service. Here it is.

"For a good time call Podenimus."

Wrong scroll.

I think I got a shot.

It's her cell number.

Here we go.

"By decree of Zeus, father of Olympus

"it is so ordered

"Diana of Themyscira will travel to Tartarus

and set right that which has been disturbed."

- He's telling me to go to.. - Basically.

'Felix Faust is on the loose again.‘

Felix Faust is dead.

Yes, and pretty upset about it too.

(Hermes) His spirit possessed a powerful weapon

called the annihilator.

Then headed straight for the gates of Tartarus.

I mean, straight for it.

The Amazons did their best to stop him.

They're good, but they were out of their weight class.

[Amazons grunting]

Once inside, he went looking for Hades

the master of Tartarus.

thud

Guess Faust is still torqued.

Hades messed him over pretty good a few years back.

- I was there. - And you'll be there this time.

You must defeat Faust

and restore Hades to the the throne of Tartarus.

So far as I'm concerned, they deserve each other.

Why should I care about this?

You mean, other than the direct order from the Gods thing?

Because, you know, there must always be balance

between chaos and order.

When there isn't..

...you've been to the infirmary already, right?

My friends.

Need you to do the right thing.

They're in good hands, Diana.

Yours.

Shayera?

Security override.

User code 0-0-3.

- 'Confirmed.‘ - Unlock this door.

beep

Something I can help you with?

Look, I need it. I'll bring it back.

We become pals while I wasn't looking?

There's trouble on Themyscira. Mystical trouble.

Your mace disrupts magic. I thought--

Whatever's happening on that island of yours

must be pretty bad for you to resort to this.

Life and death. Can I have it?

Uh-uh.

It's a package deal.

You want the mace, you get me too.

swoosh

You're doing this because you want to

prove yourself to me, aren't you?

Well, you don't have to. l forgave you a long time ago.

Did I ever ask you for your forgiveness?

swoosh

[snarling]

[roaring]

[Amazon grunts]

[Amazons grunting]

Drive them back, sisters.

[grunts]

[growling]

Diana, you know you're not supposed to set foot

on this island. The Gods have decreed that--

The Gods are decreeing stuff all the time around here..

...ma'am.

[Amazon screaming]

[Amazons grunting]

I have to go into Tartarus and stop all of this.

I won't allow it.

Neither of us has any choice in the matter, mother.

Wait, if you are to attempt such a feat

you must have access to your full power.

Because you stole your armor and lasso

you were never told of all the powers they possess.

zap

When the time comes you'll know everything you need to know.

- Bring my daughter back to me. - Nothing to worry about.

She's almost as good at kicking butt as lam.

[Amazons grunting]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

It's getting kind of hot in here.

Considering where we are?

Point taken, but still.

[grunts]

[gasps]

[all gasp]

That's right, I'm an angel.

You can mess with me if you want to

but I don't think you want to mess with the boss.

If we're lucky, they'll all be that dumb.

We need a way to find Faust.

Faust? We should free Hades first.

Hades can take care of himself.

- I'm not here to help him. - You're not?

Then what are you here for?

- You know what I mean. - I really don't.

You told me our mission is to put Hades back on the throne.

Whatever he's guilty of, we've still got a job to do.

You wouldn't say that if you'd been there.

If you'd seen what he tried to do to my mother, to me.

Be practical, we're going to need Hades

to help take Faust down.

I don't even need your help.

Yes, you do.

I can't make this decision for you, Diana

but however you want to play it, I'll back you up.

Then it's Faust.

The only problem is finding him.

Oh, that's not a problem.

Where's Faust?

Let me think. Oh, yeah, he's over there.

No, wait, he's over there. No, there.

One more answer and it better be the right one.

Or what? You'll kill me?

eternal torment as punishment for my sins.

Oh, wait, I already am!

(Wonder Woman) 'Let me try.‘

Tell me your name.

Abnaguzar.

'Tell me where to find Faust, Abnaguzar.‘

In Hades' library.

- Lead us there. - Okay.

swoosh

How'd you do that?

Magic lasso. Who knew?

If you don't want to tell me, fine.

Not yet. I've got one more question.

Is there anything else we should know?

Yeah, you really, really shouldn't go in there.

Now, could you please take this rope off of me?

I'm a demon. The truth hurts.

[gate opening]

[fire crackling]

[intense music]

Whoa!

thud

Shh.

[paper rustles]

Incredible.

Wouldn't you agree, princess?

"'The Lost Scrolls'

Of Herculaneum"

Merlin's "Juvenilia"

Pierre Menard's "Don Quixote."

Dark tomes that make "The Necronomicon"

look like a children's book.

There's enough arcana here to quench

even my thirst for knowledge.

At least for the next 5,000 years or so.

Why would anybody bother taking over this dump?

To get revenge on Hades for betraying me.

I planned to torture him for a few millennia

but Hades tried to make a deal.

He told me about this place.

He kept his end of the bargain

but I didn't keep mine.

I still don't understand why he was surprised.

But now I'm in heaven, figuratively speaking.

We're revoking your library card.

Oh, you want to fight. Not in the mood.

swoosh

[both grunting]

[both screaming]

Darn. Lost my place.

[screaming]

[grunts]

[grunting]

- You okay? - Yeah.

Didn't think I'd need a jacket where we were going.

Aren't you cold in that outfit?

- Not really. - Of course not.

The princess doesn't get cold.

The princess doesn't even sweat in the fire pits of Tartarus.

I do, too, sweat.

Please. You glow.

I wouldn't be surprised if you never have to..

[man screaming]

[intense music]

[screaming continues]

Get off of him!

[cawing]

[grunting]

Did Faust send you?

Did he decide the vultures weren't enough?

They aren't enough, monster.

[grunts]

[grunts]

splash

It appears I'm in your debt, my child.

Thank the Gods, Hades. If it were up to me..

But even here there has to be order.

Faust doesn't care what happens to this place.

No one ever appreciates your work until you're gone.

Come on. We're putting you back on the throne.

Or die trying?

Not in the plan.

[rumbling]

swoosh

[sniffing]

[crackling]

My books!

[footsteps thumping]

[grunting]

[grunts]

This time I'll leave nothing of you behind to torture.

zap

[screaming]

[grunts]

zap zap

[grunting]

Give up, Faust.

I know the secret of the armor.

It's fueled by rage.

If we don't fight you, you're powerless.

[grunts]

That was before I fixed it.

Good to know.

You actually hurt me.

Allow me to return the favor.

I hit a lot harder than she does.

[grunts]

[Faust screaming]

Shayera?

Your mace protected me from the worst of the explosion

but I was afraid you..

You're all sweaty.

Told you.

Ah, well, who has time to read these days?

Besides, I've got a new hobby.

Tormenting Faust's pathetic soul.

Any problems with that?

Not my department.

- 'And you, my child?‘ - Have a party.

But don't call me "my child" again

or you'll get what he got.

Your mother never told you, did she?

Weren't you ever the least bit curious

about your father's identity?

I don't have a father.

My mother sculpted me from clay and breathed life into me.

Your mother and I sculpted you together.

When I met you a few years ago

I realized Hippolyta must have brought you to life

sometime after I was condemned to Tartarus.

As a reminder of me, perhaps.

He's lying, Diana. We can prove it.

Use the lasso on him. Make him tell the truth.

The real truth is, it doesn't matter.

I know what I need to know.

I know who raised me and I know what I was raised to do.

clang

[all cheering]

Thank you for unlocking my armor's powers.

I might not have made it without them.

You earned them a long time ago.

I was too stubborn to admit it.

- I'd better go. - Stay and rest for your trip.

At the very least, you and your friend can share a meal with me.

But I've been banished. The Gods--

This is your home and I'm your mother.

If the Gods don't like it

they'll have to take it up with me.

What about us? Are we good?

Like oil and vinegar.

We go together, but we don't mix.

Works for me.
