Excuse me.
I don't drink.
Have we met?
No, but I've been watching you.
Following your career, I mean.
You are Dr. Isabel Maru.
The most talented chemist in the German Army.
I am a fan.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
I hope I am not crossing a line.
I know you and General Ludendorff are
very close.
We work well together. Yes.
But having someone like me behind you,
I could provide a lot more.
And who are you?
A man who would show you appreciation a genius like yourself deserves.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
I love fire. Don't you?
It is like
a living act of entropy.
The ultimate weapon of destruction.
Reminding us that, in the end,
everything eventually returns to the ash it came from.
There is something reassuring about it.
I see all of that in your eyes.
Perhaps you could show me what you're working on.
I hear it is...
I hear it is extraordinary.
I appreciate your interest in my work,
but I am loyal to General Ludendorff.
Besides,
now I see your attention is
(CHUCKLES)
elsewhere.
(GASPS)
Enjoying the party?
I confess, I'm not sure what it is we're celebrating.
A German victory, of course.
Victory?
When I hear peace could be so close.
Peace?
There's only an armistice
in an endless war.
Thucydides.
Ah! You know your Ancient Greeks.
They understood
that war is a god.
A god that requires human sacrifice.
And in exchange,
war gives man purpose,
meaning, a chance to rise above
his petty, mortal, little self
and be courageous,
noble, better!
Only one of the many gods believed in that.
- Mmm. - And he was wrong.
You know nothing of the gods.
Herr General.
Enjoy the fireworks.
What are you doing?
- Out of my way! - Diana, look at me.
If you kill Ludendorff before we find the gas,
we won't be able to stop anything.
I will stop Ares!
What if you're wrong?
What if there is no Ares?
You don't believe me.
I can't let you do this.
What I do is not up to you.
