My, uh, (CLEARS THROAT)
name is Captain Steve Trevor, pilot, American Expeditionary Forces.
Serial number 8141921.
That's all I'm at liberty to... (GROANS)
Assigned to British Intelligence.
What the hell is this thing?
The Lasso of Hestia compels you to reveal the truth.
But it's really hot.
It is pointless, and painful, to resist.
What is your mission?
Whoever you are, you are in more danger than you think.
What is your mission?
I am a...
(CLEARS TH ROAT)
lam a...
(STRAINING)
I am a SPY-
(PANTING)
I'm a spy. I'm a spy.
British Intelligence got word
that the leader of the German Army, General Ludendorff,
would be visiting a secret military installation in the Ottoman Empire.
I posed as one of their pilots, and flew in with them.
According to our intel, the Germans had no troops left,
no money, no munitions of any kind.
But our intel was wrong.
The Germans had the Turks building bombs for them.
And not just bombs, new weapons.
Secret weapons.
In vented by Ludendorff's chief psychopath, Dr. Isabel Maru.
The boys in the trenches called her "Dr. Poison."
And for good reason.
(MAN GASPING)
(GROANING)
(GRUNTS)
STEVE: From what I could tell, if Dr. Maru was able to complete her work,
millions more would die. The war would never end.
I was there to observe and report, nothing more,
but I had to do something.
DR. MARU: I'm so close.
I know I can make the gas penetrate the mask.
I just... I need more time.
Unfortunately, Doctor, we do not have more time.
This work, this...
Get that man!
There!
(ALARM BLARING)
(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
(GRUNTS)
(GUNFIRE)
But if I can get these notes back to British Intelligence in time,
it could stop millions more from dying.
It could stop the war.
War? What war?
The war.
The war to end all wars.
Four years,
27 countries,
25 million dead,
soldiers and civilians.
Innocent people,
women and children slaughtered.
Their homes and their villages looted and burned.
(GROANS) Weapons far deadlier than you can
(EXHALES)
ever imagine.
It's like nothing I've ever seen.
It's like the world's going to end.
