1
00:00:42,168 --> 00:00:43,876
WATCHER: Time.
2
00:00:46,584 --> 00:00:47,918
Space.
3
00:00:49,376 --> 00:00:50,584
Reality.
4
00:00:53,334 --> 00:00:55,584
It's more than a linear path.
5
00:00:59,876 --> 00:01:04,584
It's a prism of endless possibility,
6
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,668
where a single choice
can branch out into infinite realities,
7
00:01:13,209 --> 00:01:16,251
creating alternate worlds
from the ones you know.
8
00:01:20,043 --> 00:01:21,793
I am the Watcher.
9
00:01:23,543 --> 00:01:26,709
I am your guide
through these vast new realities.
10
00:01:28,334 --> 00:01:32,001
Follow me and ponder the question...

12
00:01:35,418 --> 00:01:37,209
"What if?"
13
00:01:46,168 --> 00:01:49,418
There was an idea
to bring together a group of--
14
00:01:49,501 --> 00:01:50,543
ROMANOFF: Remarkable people?
15
00:01:50,626 --> 00:01:52,543
To see if they could
become something more?
16
00:01:52,626 --> 00:01:54,084
I know. I've heard the speech.
17
00:01:54,168 --> 00:01:55,626
Then you realize what's at stake.
18
00:01:55,709 --> 00:01:57,751
Which is why I'm surprised you'd wanna bet
19
00:01:57,834 --> 00:02:00,876
the future
of the Avengers Initiative on that.
20
00:02:04,084 --> 00:02:06,959
Stark may be eccentric,
but he's got potential.
21
00:02:07,043 --> 00:02:08,459
What he's got is a hangover.
22
00:02:08,543 --> 00:02:10,959
Did I ever tell you about this one time
23
00:02:11,043 --> 00:02:15,209
I actually recruited a Russian assassin
to join my American covert ops team?
24
00:02:15,293 --> 00:02:16,584
Vaguely rings a bell.
25
00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:19,376
Then you should know,
I'm not afraid of a big swing.
26
00:02:20,543 --> 00:02:24,626
Sir, I'm going
to have to ask you to exit the donut.
27
00:02:24,709 --> 00:02:27,418
I told you I don't wanna join
your super-secret boyband.
28
00:02:27,501 --> 00:02:31,334
No, no, no. See, I remember,
you do everything yourself.
29
00:02:31,418 --> 00:02:33,959
-How's that working out for you?
-I've been worse.
30
00:02:34,043 --> 00:02:37,418
You've become a problem,
a problem I have to deal with.
31
00:02:37,501 --> 00:02:41,251
Contrary to your belief,
you are not the center of my universe.
32
00:02:41,334 --> 00:02:43,126
-STARK: I get it.
-Hit him.
33
00:02:43,209 --> 00:02:44,668
(screams) God. What'd she just do to me?
34
00:02:44,751 --> 00:02:46,876
What did we just do for you?
35
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:49,668
That's lithium dioxide.
It's gonna take the edge off.
36
00:02:49,751 --> 00:02:54,001
It's not a cure,
it just abates the symptoms?
37
00:02:54,084 --> 00:02:55,459
Stark! You okay?
38
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:56,668
(coughs, groans)
39
00:02:57,959 --> 00:02:59,876
-FURY: Stark!
-ROMANOFF: Tony. Tony!
40
00:03:04,793 --> 00:03:06,001
He's dead.
41
00:03:08,293 --> 00:03:12,459
WATCHER: Humanity, so eager,
so willing to face the impossible,
42
00:03:12,543 --> 00:03:14,876
yet blind to the bigger picture.
43
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:19,293
Inside one week, three strange
and separate stories unfolded.
44
00:03:19,376 --> 00:03:23,584
A genius battled
his demons both inside and out,
45
00:03:24,626 --> 00:03:28,084
while the world
met the monster hiding in the man.
46
00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:32,084
And a godly prince fell to Earth.
47
00:03:33,209 --> 00:03:34,668
I am the Watcher.
48
00:03:34,751 --> 00:03:36,668
And where humans see chaos,
49
00:03:36,751 --> 00:03:39,084
I see the crucible that would transform
50
00:03:39,168 --> 00:03:43,043
this collection of individuals
into a team of heroes.
51
00:03:44,418 --> 00:03:47,376
At least, that's how things
played out in one universe.
52
00:03:48,168 --> 00:03:49,584
But in this one...
53
00:03:59,459 --> 00:04:01,251
Sir, we found it.
54
00:04:01,334 --> 00:04:03,543
Kind of in the middle
of something here, Coulson.
55
00:04:03,626 --> 00:04:07,001
COULSON: Not sure it can wait, sir.
Locals are getting curious.
56
00:04:07,084 --> 00:04:09,543
Set up a perimeter
and tell the team I'm en route.
57
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,751
I may not have been a fan of Tony Stark,
but I didn't kill him.
58
00:04:13,834 --> 00:04:15,376
Save your spin for Pierce.
59
00:04:15,459 --> 00:04:17,959
He wants you in New York
first thing for questioning.
60
00:04:18,543 --> 00:04:19,668
Wanna give us a minute?
61
00:04:21,209 --> 00:04:22,376
This wasn't me.
62
00:04:22,459 --> 00:04:25,334
I know that,
but S.H.I.E.L.D. has protocols,
63
00:04:25,418 --> 00:04:27,834
so my hands, like yours, are tied.
64
00:04:27,918 --> 00:04:30,751
-You know these won't hold me.
-Oh, I'm counting on it.
65
00:04:30,834 --> 00:04:34,001
Someone inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
compromised Stark's antidote.
66
00:04:34,084 --> 00:04:37,126
I need someone on the outside
to find out who.
67
00:04:37,209 --> 00:04:39,376
Sure you wanna take
another big swing on me, boss?
68
00:04:39,459 --> 00:04:41,168
Safest bet I'll ever make.
69
00:04:58,209 --> 00:05:00,376
Wow. So serious.
70
00:05:02,376 --> 00:05:04,668
Maybe we should get some tunes going.
71
00:05:06,168 --> 00:05:07,751
Lighten the mood.
72
00:05:08,876 --> 00:05:09,876
(scoffs)
73
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:12,668
You guys are no fun.
Here. Mind holding these for me?
74
00:05:12,751 --> 00:05:14,209
Of course. Uh... What?
75
00:05:14,293 --> 00:05:15,293
(all groaning)
76
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:19,918
I never did get what he sees in her.
77
00:05:20,001 --> 00:05:23,334
Sure, she can land a punch,
but only 'cause people don't expect it.
78
00:05:23,418 --> 00:05:24,584
(all groaning)
79
00:05:31,793 --> 00:05:34,334
What? Stop! Stop the truck!
80
00:05:34,418 --> 00:05:35,418
(tires screeching)
81
00:05:39,043 --> 00:05:40,334
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
82
00:05:43,459 --> 00:05:45,876
Oh! Come on!
83
00:05:49,334 --> 00:05:51,334
(thunder rumbling)
84
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:54,876
(metal detector whirring)
85
00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:59,126
BARTON: Best we can tell, it's extremely
powerful and not from around here.
86
00:05:59,709 --> 00:06:03,168
Electromagnetic, neutron,
vita radiations, all off the charts.
87
00:06:05,501 --> 00:06:06,501
-(guard groans)
-(thuds)
88
00:06:07,126 --> 00:06:08,126
(thunder rumbling)
89
00:06:09,251 --> 00:06:11,084
Well, that doesn't sound ominous at all.
90
00:06:11,168 --> 00:06:12,959
It's been happening all night.
91
00:06:13,043 --> 00:06:15,084
The artifact has a bit of an attitude.
92
00:06:15,168 --> 00:06:17,168
Also, no one can lift it.
93
00:06:17,251 --> 00:06:19,334
Not even Jackson and he does CrossFit.
94
00:06:19,418 --> 00:06:23,334
Something that powerful goes missing,
someone always comes looking.
95
00:06:25,876 --> 00:06:29,418
We just have to cross our fingers
that someone is an ally.
96
00:06:36,918 --> 00:06:38,084
So, what's the move?
97
00:06:38,168 --> 00:06:42,084
Same as always.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
98
00:06:44,751 --> 00:06:46,709
We got a man down. Sound the alarms.
99
00:06:46,793 --> 00:06:47,918
-(alarm blaring)
-(men shouting)
100
00:06:49,001 --> 00:06:50,918
I think the worst just got here.
101
00:06:52,209 --> 00:06:53,751
FURY: Coulson, talk to me.
102
00:06:53,834 --> 00:06:56,793
We got a perimeter breach.
Multiple agents down and...
103
00:06:57,584 --> 00:06:58,834
(guard 1 groaning)
104
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:00,209
Whoa.
105
00:07:00,293 --> 00:07:02,459
I got visual on the intruder.
106
00:07:03,501 --> 00:07:06,543
He's a Caucasian male,
mid-twenties with...
107
00:07:08,126 --> 00:07:09,793
really great hair.
108
00:07:10,626 --> 00:07:11,709
Excuse me?
109
00:07:11,793 --> 00:07:14,876
COULSON: It's an accurate description.
Sir, he's gorgeous.
110
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:17,876
-I need eyes in the sky. Barton.
-BARTON: Already on it.
111
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:21,668
He's making a move on the hammer.
112
00:07:21,751 --> 00:07:24,168
One shot, one kill, sir.
Just say the word.
113
00:07:25,376 --> 00:07:27,668
FURY: Hold your fire. I wanna see this.
114
00:07:31,376 --> 00:07:32,501
(sighs)
115
00:07:32,584 --> 00:07:36,418
Whoa. Coulson wasn't lying
about the hair. That's nice.
116
00:07:38,876 --> 00:07:40,209
Fury, now or never.
117
00:07:40,334 --> 00:07:42,251
-(Thor grunts)
-FURY: Hold your--
118
00:07:47,418 --> 00:07:50,084
Damn it, Barton. I told you to stand down.
119
00:07:50,168 --> 00:07:52,543
I did! Wasn't me! I didn't shoot!
120
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:55,209
GUARD 2: Drop your weapon!
121
00:07:55,293 --> 00:07:57,001
I swear, I didn't shoot.
122
00:07:58,876 --> 00:08:01,418
Your arrow would indicate otherwise.
123
00:08:05,543 --> 00:08:10,418
This doesn't make any sense.
I don't slip. I don't misfire.
124
00:08:11,084 --> 00:08:13,543
-What's the word on our intruder?
-Dead.
125
00:08:13,626 --> 00:08:15,584
And if his blood samples
are to be believed,
126
00:08:15,668 --> 00:08:19,418
he's almost a thousand years old
and not of this world.
127
00:08:19,501 --> 00:08:21,709
First Stark, now Muscle Beach.
128
00:08:21,793 --> 00:08:25,876
That's two high value S.H.I.E.L.D. targets
killed by our own agents inside 24 hours.
129
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:29,084
-Barton's sticking to his story?
-He's pretty bent out of shape.
130
00:08:29,168 --> 00:08:31,251
-Won't talk to anyone.
-He'll talk to me.
131
00:08:31,334 --> 00:08:32,418
(trilling)
132
00:08:35,959 --> 00:08:37,959
Wake up, Sleeping Beauty.
133
00:08:39,126 --> 00:08:40,293
Barton.
134
00:08:41,793 --> 00:08:43,001
(Fury grunts)
135
00:08:43,084 --> 00:08:45,584
Barton. Coulson, get a medic.
136
00:08:45,668 --> 00:08:48,126
How could this... Who did you let in here?
137
00:08:48,209 --> 00:08:49,376
-No one.
-COULSON: No one.
138
00:08:49,459 --> 00:08:52,126
Stay with me. Stay with me.
139
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:57,793
We're running a tox screen
to see if it was a cyanide capsule.
140
00:08:57,876 --> 00:08:59,376
Barton had a wife and kids.
141
00:08:59,459 --> 00:09:01,751
If he was gonna go,
it wouldn't be willingly.
142
00:09:01,834 --> 00:09:03,001
You think he was murdered.
143
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:07,209
If I had to guess, my money
is on the same someone who killed Stark.
144
00:09:07,293 --> 00:09:09,418
But Barton
was in a locked cell under observation.
145
00:09:09,501 --> 00:09:11,793
There was no sign of struggle,
no entry wounds.
146
00:09:11,876 --> 00:09:14,668
It's weird, but I also have a space corpse
147
00:09:14,751 --> 00:09:18,001
that looks like a Chippendales dancer
rotting on the next table over.
148
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:21,001
(sniffs)
149
00:09:21,084 --> 00:09:22,709
Oh, wow.
150
00:09:22,793 --> 00:09:25,459
Even while rotting,
he smells like lavender.
151
00:09:25,543 --> 00:09:27,376
Really? (sniffing)
152
00:09:28,334 --> 00:09:29,334
Mmm.
153
00:09:29,418 --> 00:09:31,959
Still, there's not a lot
connecting a billionaire playboy
154
00:09:32,043 --> 00:09:35,084
and a S.H.I.E.L.D. assassin,
unless you have any ideas.
155
00:09:36,001 --> 00:09:38,168
There was an idea.
156
00:09:43,584 --> 00:09:45,168
(sniffing)
157
00:09:52,251 --> 00:09:55,001
Dr. Ross.
Not sure if you remember me, but--
158
00:09:55,084 --> 00:09:57,251
(sighs) Oh, I remember.
159
00:09:57,334 --> 00:09:59,168
And I'll tell you
the same thing I told you
160
00:09:59,251 --> 00:10:01,584
the last time
S.H.I.E.L.D. came poking around.
161
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:02,876
I haven't seen him.
162
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:05,709
I'm not here about the green guy.
163
00:10:05,793 --> 00:10:10,626
His name is Dr. Bruce Banner.
And I'm in a rush, Agent Romanoff.
164
00:10:10,709 --> 00:10:13,418
I'm here about Tony Stark.
I believe he was murdered.
165
00:10:14,543 --> 00:10:16,543
What? By whom?
166
00:10:16,626 --> 00:10:21,293
Me. Or at least someone's trying
to make it look that way, using this.
167
00:10:23,209 --> 00:10:25,668
So, why did you come to me?
168
00:10:25,751 --> 00:10:29,626
You're an expert in the tactical
applications of cellular biology.
169
00:10:29,709 --> 00:10:33,084
There are plenty of others.
Why did you really come here?
170
00:10:33,793 --> 00:10:35,959
I need to keep this
off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar
171
00:10:36,501 --> 00:10:39,626
and you seem to have
some experience in that department.
172
00:10:41,543 --> 00:10:45,043
Mmm. Well, your injector's clean
173
00:10:45,126 --> 00:10:48,834
and there's no traces
of lethal pathogens of any kind.
174
00:10:48,918 --> 00:10:49,918
Then what killed him?
175
00:10:50,001 --> 00:10:52,834
BETTY: Whatever it was,
it wasn't biological.
176
00:10:52,918 --> 00:10:55,543
Your antidote didn't even
make it out of the syringe.
177
00:10:55,626 --> 00:11:00,043
It looks to me like a tiny projectile
of some kind was fired from the needle.
178
00:11:00,126 --> 00:11:02,043
You're thinking nanotech?
179
00:11:02,126 --> 00:11:05,168
I'm a biologist, not a ballistics expert.
180
00:11:05,251 --> 00:11:06,959
And I believe we're done here.
181
00:11:12,251 --> 00:11:14,584
Huh. You got a side job, Dr. Ross?
182
00:11:14,668 --> 00:11:16,459
What? I don't know. I...
183
00:11:16,543 --> 00:11:18,126
A student must have left it there.
184
00:11:18,834 --> 00:11:20,709
-(chuckles)
-(cell phone ringing)
185
00:11:22,293 --> 00:11:24,834
FURY: I got bad news and worse news.
186
00:11:24,918 --> 00:11:27,501
-You in a secure location?
-Not currently.
187
00:11:28,751 --> 00:11:29,959
FURY: Barton's dead.
188
00:11:30,043 --> 00:11:31,293
(inhales deeply)
189
00:11:33,334 --> 00:11:35,001
FURY: I know what he meant to you.
190
00:11:37,126 --> 00:11:38,126
(sighs)
191
00:11:41,876 --> 00:11:44,043
Who do I kill?
192
00:11:44,709 --> 00:11:47,334
FURY: Looks like his
and Stark's murders are connected.
193
00:11:48,001 --> 00:11:50,834
-ROMANOFF: By what?
-FURY: The Avengers Initiative.
194
00:11:50,918 --> 00:11:53,501
Seems our killer
is going after the candidates.
195
00:11:53,584 --> 00:11:55,418
ROMANOFF: If someone wanted
to kneecap S.H.I.E.L.D.,
196
00:11:55,501 --> 00:11:56,709
that's a good place to start.
197
00:11:57,376 --> 00:11:58,668
Who else is on the list?
198
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:02,584
FURY: That's the thing.
Bruce Banner and you.
199
00:12:02,668 --> 00:12:06,543
ROMANOFF: Under different circumstances,
I'd be flattered. So would Clint.
200
00:12:06,626 --> 00:12:10,293
FURY: You need to get yourself to ground.
But first, find Banner.
201
00:12:10,376 --> 00:12:13,459
Funny thing, boss. Think I already have.
202
00:12:15,418 --> 00:12:17,876
I... I'm sorry,
but I can't let you in there.
203
00:12:17,959 --> 00:12:20,251
Move, or I'll make you move.
204
00:12:21,293 --> 00:12:23,793
No need for violence, Agent Romanoff.
205
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:26,918
That's probably not gonna work out.
For anyone.
206
00:12:33,793 --> 00:12:35,543
What? What is it?
207
00:12:37,293 --> 00:12:39,126
We need to go. Now.
208
00:12:39,209 --> 00:12:40,501
(helicopter blades hovering)
209
00:12:41,418 --> 00:12:43,418
(music playing over car stereo)
210
00:12:45,501 --> 00:12:46,918
(cell phone ringing)
211
00:12:50,084 --> 00:12:51,584
FURY: What's your 20, Coulson?
212
00:12:51,668 --> 00:12:53,709
Coffee run. Needed a breather.
213
00:12:53,793 --> 00:12:56,501
Got you a double macchiato.
Just how you like it.
214
00:12:57,626 --> 00:12:58,626
(rumbling)
215
00:13:00,084 --> 00:13:01,168
What the...
216
00:13:06,584 --> 00:13:10,126
Director, sensors are reporting
a massive energy surge.
217
00:13:10,209 --> 00:13:13,626
-Seems like it came out of nowhere.
-What are you seeing, Coulson?
218
00:13:13,709 --> 00:13:16,459
A meteorological phenomenon of some kind.
219
00:13:19,918 --> 00:13:23,293
Oh, boy. Whatever it is,
it came with bogeys.
220
00:13:23,376 --> 00:13:25,959
-They look like they're from Earth?
-COULSON: Maybe Middle-earth?
221
00:13:33,793 --> 00:13:35,126
Go get 'em, boss.
222
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:49,751
Looking for directions, sir?
Because you seem to have lost your way.
223
00:13:49,834 --> 00:13:54,084
(chuckles) You would do best
to kneel before a god.
224
00:13:54,168 --> 00:13:58,876
We don't really do that here.
No matter who or what you are.
225
00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:03,084
-I am Loki, Crown Prince of Asgard.
-(cell phone ringing)
226
00:14:03,168 --> 00:14:04,584
The rightful king of Jotun--
227
00:14:06,418 --> 00:14:10,334
-(clears throat) Jotunheim. And God of M--
-(cell phone continues ringing)
228
00:14:11,501 --> 00:14:14,418
Mischief. Are you gonna take that?
I'm in the middle of something.
229
00:14:14,501 --> 00:14:15,793
Damn it, Fury! Pick up.
230
00:14:15,876 --> 00:14:19,459
Hey, I'm telling you, it's safer
for everyone if I fend for myself.
231
00:14:20,043 --> 00:14:23,043
-I sort of can't die.
-Then I guess you're in luck.
232
00:14:33,709 --> 00:14:35,084
Look alive, people.
233
00:14:35,168 --> 00:14:38,709
I want strike teams locked, loaded,
and ready to move in on my mark.
234
00:14:38,793 --> 00:14:40,376
(cell phone ringing)
235
00:14:40,459 --> 00:14:42,001
I'm a little busy here, Widow.
236
00:14:42,084 --> 00:14:43,876
ROMANOFF: Oh, good.
We'll start a support group.
237
00:14:43,959 --> 00:14:47,376
I've got General Ross,
a dozen snipers and a few tanks.
238
00:14:47,459 --> 00:14:49,459
-What are you dealing with?
-FURY: Space Vikings.
239
00:14:49,543 --> 00:14:52,043
-Show-off.
-FURY: Handle it, then get to ground.
240
00:14:52,126 --> 00:14:53,293
-(cell phone beeps)
-(groans)
241
00:14:53,376 --> 00:14:54,418
Lady trouble?
242
00:14:54,501 --> 00:14:57,626
Well, what exactly is it
that brought you here, Mr. Loki?
243
00:14:57,709 --> 00:14:59,043
Vengeance.
244
00:14:59,126 --> 00:15:04,459
An agent of this planet murdered
Thor Odinson, the Crown Prince of Asgard.
245
00:15:05,043 --> 00:15:07,334
Natasha Romanoff, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
246
00:15:07,418 --> 00:15:11,043
I have Bruce Banner in my custody.
You need to stand down.
247
00:15:11,668 --> 00:15:13,043
(groans)
248
00:15:13,126 --> 00:15:15,918
-Hey, hey! Don't shoot!
-Who the hell opened fire?
249
00:15:16,001 --> 00:15:17,168
SOLDIER 3: Not us, sir.
250
00:15:17,251 --> 00:15:19,584
Bruce! It's okay. We're okay, right?
251
00:15:19,668 --> 00:15:21,751
I'll get you out of this.
I swear on my life.
252
00:15:21,834 --> 00:15:25,918
Director Fury, you fail to comprehend
the enormity of the situation.
253
00:15:26,001 --> 00:15:28,001
Oh, I'm comprehending, all right.
254
00:15:30,084 --> 00:15:34,751
Agent Romanoff, I think you might
be better off getting out of here.
255
00:15:34,834 --> 00:15:37,793
Which is why I have to ask,
what's in the box?
256
00:15:37,876 --> 00:15:39,168
Ooh.
257
00:15:39,251 --> 00:15:41,501
Such insolence will not be tolerated.
258
00:15:41,584 --> 00:15:45,001
And your planet
will be taken as retribution.
259
00:15:45,084 --> 00:15:47,001
(Banner groaning)
260
00:15:55,418 --> 00:15:56,959
(roars)
261
00:15:57,043 --> 00:15:58,709
-Take it down!
-(guns firing)
262
00:16:07,459 --> 00:16:08,501
(Hulk roaring)
263
00:16:10,543 --> 00:16:12,501
(all screaming)
264
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:17,584
(Hulk grunting)
265
00:16:21,793 --> 00:16:22,793
(all screaming)
266
00:16:26,126 --> 00:16:27,126
(roars)
267
00:16:31,543 --> 00:16:32,543
(roars)
268
00:16:32,626 --> 00:16:34,751
Oh, you want some of this? Come on!
269
00:16:34,834 --> 00:16:38,084
Father! No! Stop! Stop, please!
270
00:16:39,084 --> 00:16:41,668
-(man screaming)
-(sobbing) Stop!
271
00:16:42,751 --> 00:16:46,084
-There's nothing you can do.
-That's my father. He'll listen to me.
272
00:16:46,168 --> 00:16:48,126
The General
isn't the one who started this.
273
00:16:48,209 --> 00:16:49,668
(gasping)
274
00:16:49,751 --> 00:16:50,876
Then who did?
275
00:16:53,626 --> 00:16:54,626
(grunting)
276
00:16:57,376 --> 00:16:58,543
Bruce!
277
00:17:00,876 --> 00:17:02,126
Bruce!
278
00:17:11,001 --> 00:17:13,751
(sobbing) No. No, no, no. Bruce.
279
00:17:13,834 --> 00:17:18,168
But he can't die. He can't die.
280
00:17:19,834 --> 00:17:21,209
He can't.
281
00:17:26,876 --> 00:17:32,126
Declaring war on this planet
will not bring your prince back!
282
00:17:32,209 --> 00:17:33,334
SIF: Wait.
283
00:17:33,418 --> 00:17:37,209
He's not wrong.
The All-Father would want us to listen.
284
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:42,126
We have the same enemy here.
285
00:17:42,209 --> 00:17:45,251
The person who killed your brother
also killed two of my people.
286
00:17:45,334 --> 00:17:48,334
Good people.
We should be working together.
287
00:17:48,418 --> 00:17:50,543
We are not allies.
288
00:17:50,626 --> 00:17:52,501
Then let me help you.
289
00:17:52,584 --> 00:17:55,126
I promise,
when I find your brother's killer,
290
00:17:55,209 --> 00:17:57,876
you will have your pound of flesh.
291
00:17:57,959 --> 00:18:00,209
What a fascinating choice of words.
292
00:18:01,209 --> 00:18:04,293
But I shall require the entire corpse.
293
00:18:05,126 --> 00:18:06,376
You need to give me time.
294
00:18:10,501 --> 00:18:11,543
Very well.
295
00:18:11,626 --> 00:18:16,793
You have until the next rise of Midgard's
sun to deliver my brother's assassin,
296
00:18:16,876 --> 00:18:21,043
or I will reduce
this planet to ash and ice.
297
00:18:33,334 --> 00:18:35,376
COULSON: (over phone)
Why do you need my password?
298
00:18:35,501 --> 00:18:38,293
ROMANOFF: (sighs) I need to get
into the Avengers Initiative files,
299
00:18:38,376 --> 00:18:42,084
but I'm locked out of the system
and wanted for murder.
300
00:18:42,168 --> 00:18:44,043
COULSON: I'm not telling you
my password, Romanoff.
301
00:18:44,126 --> 00:18:46,001
-ROMANOFF: Why not?
-COULSON: Because I'm not.
302
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:48,918
ROMANOFF: Coulson.
Clint was your friend, too.
303
00:18:50,709 --> 00:18:56,334
(sighs) Hashtag-Steve-Steve-Steve-
I-heart-Steve-0-7-0-4.
304
00:18:56,418 --> 00:18:57,459
Wow.
305
00:18:57,543 --> 00:18:59,168
-Good one, Coulson.
-What?
306
00:18:59,251 --> 00:19:01,418
No, nothing. That's great. Thank you.
307
00:19:04,501 --> 00:19:05,501
(inhales deeply)
308
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:31,418
Huh. How did a woman
who died two years ago
309
00:19:31,501 --> 00:19:33,168
access the database yesterday?
310
00:19:39,376 --> 00:19:44,584
You won't win. Not against me.
Not against S.H.I.E.L.D.
311
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:46,834
(groaning)
312
00:19:53,001 --> 00:19:55,251
FURY: You found me. You know what to do.
313
00:19:55,334 --> 00:19:57,251
(all groaning)
314
00:20:03,793 --> 00:20:06,376
Fury, it's Hope! It's all about Hope!
315
00:20:06,459 --> 00:20:07,668
(screams)
316
00:20:22,668 --> 00:20:25,168
ROMANOFF: (over phone)
It's Hope! It's all about Hope!
317
00:20:30,668 --> 00:20:32,918
It's Hope! It's all about Hope!
318
00:20:35,126 --> 00:20:37,709
It's Hope! It's all about Hope!
319
00:20:38,418 --> 00:20:39,959
COULSON: Four hours to sunup, sir.
320
00:20:40,876 --> 00:20:42,668
I haven't forgotten.
321
00:20:42,751 --> 00:20:46,293
Sir, I understand that this
Prince Loki situation is the very reason
322
00:20:46,376 --> 00:20:48,334
you proposed the Avengers Initiative
323
00:20:48,418 --> 00:20:51,626
for a group of remarkable individuals
to fight the battles we can't.
324
00:20:51,709 --> 00:20:52,793
I wrote the speech.
325
00:20:53,918 --> 00:20:55,626
There's still one name left, sir.
326
00:20:57,209 --> 00:20:58,251
Yours.
327
00:21:03,668 --> 00:21:05,459
I'm not the only Avenger left.
328
00:21:08,793 --> 00:21:10,168
What?
329
00:21:19,751 --> 00:21:22,126
COULSON: Is that a beeper from the '90s?
330
00:21:23,043 --> 00:21:24,626
Also our last hope.
331
00:21:25,918 --> 00:21:30,709
"Hope. It's all about Hope."
332
00:21:31,626 --> 00:21:33,459
(chuckles) Widow.
333
00:21:37,084 --> 00:21:38,834
COULSON: Boss?
334
00:21:40,001 --> 00:21:42,584
-Where are you going?
-Not sure.
335
00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:46,293
Either make a pact
with a god or deal with a devil.
336
00:22:08,543 --> 00:22:09,876
You got a name, soldier?
337
00:22:13,834 --> 00:22:15,376
I'm here to see your boss.
338
00:22:35,376 --> 00:22:37,793
If it isn't Hank Pym.
339
00:22:37,876 --> 00:22:43,668
HANK: The balls you have to come here
and stand over her grave.
340
00:22:43,751 --> 00:22:45,001
Oh, don't worry about her.
341
00:22:45,084 --> 00:22:47,668
I doubt she'd mind,
considering she's dead.
342
00:22:47,751 --> 00:22:51,209
She died because S.H.I.E.L.D. killed her.
343
00:22:51,959 --> 00:22:53,418
She died because of you.
344
00:22:53,501 --> 00:22:59,001
Agent Hope Van Dyne was killed
on a mission outside Odessa, Ukraine.
345
00:22:59,084 --> 00:23:00,334
Agent?
346
00:23:00,418 --> 00:23:03,418
She was my daughter! My little girl.
347
00:23:04,001 --> 00:23:06,793
She missed her mother
and you exploited that!
348
00:23:06,876 --> 00:23:08,793
Her mother was an agent?
349
00:23:08,876 --> 00:23:11,626
Don't play the fool with me, Fury.
350
00:23:11,709 --> 00:23:17,543
You filled her head with nonsense about
protecting humanity and saving the world.
351
00:23:17,626 --> 00:23:21,668
You just left out how she died
the same way her mother did,
352
00:23:21,751 --> 00:23:23,709
doing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dirty work!
353
00:23:23,793 --> 00:23:28,668
And that gave you
permission to murder them?
354
00:23:28,751 --> 00:23:33,043
Anthony Stark? Clint Barton?
Bruce Banner? Natasha Romanoff?
355
00:23:33,126 --> 00:23:36,126
You took everything from me.
356
00:23:39,126 --> 00:23:41,209
I wanted you to hurt.
357
00:23:42,918 --> 00:23:46,876
To witness everything
you've ever worked for...
358
00:23:48,876 --> 00:23:50,459
fought for...
359
00:23:53,251 --> 00:23:54,709
hoped for...
360
00:23:57,751 --> 00:23:59,126
die.
361
00:23:59,709 --> 00:24:02,209
And what of Thor, Prince of Asgard?
362
00:24:02,293 --> 00:24:05,876
Goldilocks? You would have
recruited him in a heartbeat.
363
00:24:05,959 --> 00:24:09,293
Sold him some malarkey about being a hero.
364
00:24:09,376 --> 00:24:12,751
That's what you do.
What S.H.I.E.L.D. has always done.
365
00:24:12,834 --> 00:24:14,668
Find others to fight your battles.
366
00:24:14,751 --> 00:24:17,459
That's it?
You murdered him because you could?
367
00:24:17,543 --> 00:24:21,168
His death was a favor.
Yours will be a triumph.
368
00:24:34,834 --> 00:24:36,293
What the...
369
00:24:36,376 --> 00:24:39,918
You're still pretty spry
for a guy with a corner office.
370
00:24:49,001 --> 00:24:50,793
You never cared about Hope.
371
00:24:50,876 --> 00:24:52,793
I don't give a damn about any of them.
372
00:24:52,876 --> 00:24:54,376
-(Fury laughs)
-(grunts)
373
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:03,751
Fury! Come on.
374
00:25:03,834 --> 00:25:07,668
You're supposed to be a killer?
Well, come on, then. Kill me.
375
00:25:10,418 --> 00:25:11,876
-(gasps)
-Ooh.
376
00:25:14,334 --> 00:25:16,418
HANK: How are you...
377
00:25:16,501 --> 00:25:19,084
-(Fury laughing)
-Stop moving, Fury.
378
00:25:19,168 --> 00:25:21,168
What are you doing? Let's go--
379
00:25:21,251 --> 00:25:23,918
It's like you're everywhere. Aah!
380
00:25:26,001 --> 00:25:27,251
(grunts)
381
00:25:37,626 --> 00:25:39,209
(all laughing)
382
00:25:51,251 --> 00:25:53,959
Uh, what's with the goth kid?
383
00:25:54,043 --> 00:25:56,459
Hello. Trickster God. Hi.
384
00:25:56,543 --> 00:25:58,834
S.H.I.E.L.D. is people,
385
00:25:58,918 --> 00:26:02,584
people willing to give their lives
for something greater than themselves
386
00:26:02,668 --> 00:26:06,501
to save the world from men like you.
387
00:26:09,543 --> 00:26:14,418
Agent Hope Van Dyne understood that
and she will never be forgotten.
388
00:26:15,001 --> 00:26:17,501
Then you honor her.
389
00:26:19,751 --> 00:26:21,293
Then honor her.
390
00:26:22,251 --> 00:26:25,418
Well, this was
an absolute pleasure, Director Fury.
391
00:26:25,501 --> 00:26:28,209
Good. Now take your hammer
and get off my planet.
392
00:26:28,293 --> 00:26:31,543
(chuckles) About that,
we should be allies.
393
00:26:31,626 --> 00:26:33,543
You know, I've just had an idea.
394
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:36,876
I was thinking I might extend
my stay here on Midgard.
395
00:26:37,543 --> 00:26:39,043
For how long?
396
00:26:46,043 --> 00:26:48,043
(camera shutters clicking)
397
00:26:52,168 --> 00:26:54,793
Good evening, my loyal subjects.
398
00:26:55,376 --> 00:26:58,793
It is with great pride
that I stand before you today
399
00:26:58,876 --> 00:27:01,459
to announce that in just one day's time,
400
00:27:01,543 --> 00:27:05,126
the nations of Earth
have put aside their differences
401
00:27:05,209 --> 00:27:08,459
and united under my command.
402
00:27:08,543 --> 00:27:12,459
It's the unspoken truth of humanity
that you crave subjugation.
403
00:27:12,543 --> 00:27:17,043
The bright lure of freedom hobbles you,
diminishes your life's joy.
404
00:27:17,126 --> 00:27:20,334
You were made to be ruled.
405
00:27:20,918 --> 00:27:27,168
So I have come
to help you fulfill your destiny.
406
00:27:33,459 --> 00:27:36,501
The Avengers fell
before they had a chance to rise.
407
00:27:36,584 --> 00:27:38,043
May they rest in peace.
408
00:27:38,126 --> 00:27:40,126
They can, but we won't.
409
00:27:41,251 --> 00:27:44,709
The Avengers were always
meant to be more than a team.
410
00:27:44,793 --> 00:27:46,334
They were an idea,
411
00:27:46,418 --> 00:27:52,376
the affirmation of humanity's need
to believe that in our darkest hour,
412
00:27:52,959 --> 00:27:55,626
we will find our heroes.
413
00:27:59,584 --> 00:28:03,709
I believe that in this universe,
as in every other, hope never dies.
414
00:28:05,876 --> 00:28:09,876
As long as someone keeps
their good eye on the bigger picture.
415
00:28:11,668 --> 00:28:12,876
Welcome back, Captain.
416
00:28:15,918 --> 00:28:17,584
So where's the fight?
417
00:28:18,709 --> 00:28:20,709
(theme music playing)
