1
00:00:42,145 --> 00:00:43,853
Time.
2
00:00:46,561 --> 00:00:47,895
Space.
3
00:00:49,353 --> 00:00:50,561
Reality.
4
00:00:53,311 --> 00:00:55,561
It's more than a linear path.
5
00:00:59,853 --> 00:01:04,561
It's a prism of endless possibility,
6
00:01:06,936 --> 00:01:10,645
where a single choice
can branch out into infinite realities,
7
00:01:13,186 --> 00:01:16,228
creating alternate worlds
from the ones you know.
8
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:21,770
I am the Watcher.
9
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,686
I am your guide
through these vast new realities.
10
00:01:28,311 --> 00:01:31,978
Follow me and ponder the question...
11
00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:37,186
"What if?"
12
00:01:46,145 --> 00:01:49,395
There was an idea
to bring together a group of...
13
00:01:49,478 --> 00:01:50,579
Remarkable people?
14
00:01:50,603 --> 00:01:52,520
To see if they could
become something more?
15
00:01:52,603 --> 00:01:54,061
I know. I've heard the speech.
16
00:01:54,145 --> 00:01:55,603
Then you realize what's at stake.
17
00:01:55,686 --> 00:01:57,728
Which is why I'm surprised you'd wanna bet
18
00:01:57,811 --> 00:02:00,853
the future
of the Avengers Initiative on that.
19
00:02:04,061 --> 00:02:06,936
Stark may be eccentric,
but he's got potential.
20
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:08,436
What he's got is a hangover.
21
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,936
Did I ever tell you about this one time
22
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:15,186
I actually recruited a Russian assassin
to join my American covert ops team?
23
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:16,561
Vaguely rings a bell.
24
00:02:16,645 --> 00:02:19,353
Then you should know,
I'm not afraid of a big swing.
25
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,603
Sir, I'm going
to have to ask you to exit the donut.
26
00:02:24,686 --> 00:02:27,395
I told you I don't wanna join
your super-secret boyband.
27
00:02:27,478 --> 00:02:31,311
No, no, no. See, I remember,
you do everything yourself.
28
00:02:31,395 --> 00:02:33,936
- How's that working out for you?
- I've been worse.
29
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:37,395
You've become a problem,
a problem I have to deal with.
30
00:02:37,478 --> 00:02:41,228
Contrary to your belief,
you are not the center of my universe.
31
00:02:41,311 --> 00:02:43,103
- I get it.
- Hit him.
32
00:02:43,186 --> 00:02:44,704
God. What'd she just do to me?
33
00:02:44,728 --> 00:02:46,853
What did we just do for you?
34
00:02:46,936 --> 00:02:49,645
That's lithium dioxide.
It's gonna take the edge off.
35
00:02:49,728 --> 00:02:53,978
It's not a cure,
it just abates the symptoms?
36
00:02:54,061 --> 00:02:55,436
Stark! You okay?
37
00:02:57,936 --> 00:02:59,853
- Stark!
- Tony. Tony!
38
00:03:04,770 --> 00:03:05,978
He's dead.
39
00:03:08,270 --> 00:03:12,436
Humanity, so eager,
so willing to face the impossible,
40
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,853
yet blind to the bigger picture.
41
00:03:14,936 --> 00:03:19,270
Inside one week, three strange
and separate stories unfolded.
42
00:03:19,353 --> 00:03:23,561
A genius battled
his demons both inside and out,
43
00:03:24,603 --> 00:03:28,061
while the world
met the monster hiding in the man.
44
00:03:29,353 --> 00:03:32,061
And a godly prince fell to Earth.
45
00:03:33,186 --> 00:03:34,645
I am the Watcher.
46
00:03:34,728 --> 00:03:36,645
And where humans see chaos,
47
00:03:36,728 --> 00:03:39,061
I see the crucible that would transform
48
00:03:39,145 --> 00:03:43,020
this collection of individuals
into a team of heroes.
49
00:03:44,395 --> 00:03:47,353
At least, that's how things
played out in one universe.
50
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:49,561
But in this one...
51
00:03:59,436 --> 00:04:01,228
Sir, we found it.
52
00:04:01,311 --> 00:04:03,520
Kind of in the middle
of something here, Coulson.
53
00:04:03,603 --> 00:04:06,978
Not sure it can wait, sir.
Locals are getting curious.
54
00:04:07,061 --> 00:04:09,520
Set up a perimeter
and tell the team I'm en route.
55
00:04:10,686 --> 00:04:13,728
I may not have been a fan of Tony Stark,
but I didn't kill him.
56
00:04:13,811 --> 00:04:15,353
Save your spin for Pierce.
57
00:04:15,436 --> 00:04:17,936
He wants you in New York
first thing for questioning.
58
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,645
Wanna give us a minute?
59
00:04:21,186 --> 00:04:22,353
This wasn't me.
60
00:04:22,436 --> 00:04:25,311
I know that,
but S.H.I.E.L.D. has protocols,
61
00:04:25,395 --> 00:04:27,811
so my hands, like yours, are tied.
62
00:04:27,895 --> 00:04:30,728
- You know these won't hold me.
- Oh, I'm counting on it.
63
00:04:30,811 --> 00:04:33,978
Someone inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
compromised Stark's antidote.
64
00:04:34,061 --> 00:04:37,103
I need someone on the outside
to find out who.
65
00:04:37,186 --> 00:04:39,353
Sure you wanna take
another big swing on me, boss?
66
00:04:39,436 --> 00:04:41,145
Safest bet I'll ever make.
67
00:04:58,186 --> 00:05:00,353
Wow. So serious.
68
00:05:02,353 --> 00:05:04,645
Maybe we should get some tunes going.
69
00:05:06,145 --> 00:05:07,728
Lighten the mood.
70
00:05:09,936 --> 00:05:12,645
You guys are no fun.
Here. Mind holding these for me?
71
00:05:12,728 --> 00:05:14,186
Of course. Uh... What?
72
00:05:18,061 --> 00:05:19,895
I never did get what he sees in her.
73
00:05:19,978 --> 00:05:23,311
Sure, she can land a punch,
but only 'cause people don't expect it.
74
00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:34,311
What? Stop! Stop the truck!
75
00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:40,311
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
76
00:05:43,436 --> 00:05:45,853
Oh! Come on!
77
00:05:54,936 --> 00:05:59,103
Best we can tell, it's extremely
powerful and not from around here.
78
00:05:59,686 --> 00:06:03,145
Electromagnetic, neutron,
vita radiations, all off the charts.
79
00:06:09,228 --> 00:06:11,061
Well, that doesn't sound ominous at all.
80
00:06:11,145 --> 00:06:12,936
It's been happening all night.
81
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:15,061
The artifact has a bit of an attitude.
82
00:06:15,145 --> 00:06:17,145
Also, no one can lift it.
83
00:06:17,228 --> 00:06:19,311
Not even Jackson and he does CrossFit.
84
00:06:19,395 --> 00:06:23,311
Something that powerful goes missing,
someone always comes looking.
85
00:06:25,853 --> 00:06:29,395
We just have to cross our fingers
that someone is an ally.
86
00:06:36,895 --> 00:06:38,061
So, what's the move?
87
00:06:38,145 --> 00:06:42,061
Same as always.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
88
00:06:44,728 --> 00:06:46,686
We got a man down. Sound the alarms.
89
00:06:48,978 --> 00:06:50,895
I think the worst just got here.
90
00:06:52,186 --> 00:06:53,728
Coulson, talk to me.
91
00:06:53,811 --> 00:06:56,770
We got a perimeter breach.
Multiple agents down and...
92
00:06:58,895 --> 00:07:00,186
Whoa.
93
00:07:00,270 --> 00:07:02,436
I got visual on the intruder.
94
00:07:03,478 --> 00:07:06,520
He's a Caucasian male,
mid-twenties with...
95
00:07:08,103 --> 00:07:09,770
really great hair.
96
00:07:10,603 --> 00:07:11,686
Excuse me?
97
00:07:11,770 --> 00:07:14,853
It's an accurate description.
Sir, he's gorgeous.
98
00:07:14,936 --> 00:07:17,853
- I need eyes in the sky. Barton.
- Already on it.
99
00:07:19,936 --> 00:07:21,645
He's making a move on the hammer.
100
00:07:21,728 --> 00:07:24,145
One shot, one kill, sir.
Just say the word.
101
00:07:25,353 --> 00:07:27,645
Hold your fire. I wanna see this.
102
00:07:32,561 --> 00:07:36,395
Whoa. Coulson wasn't lying
about the hair. That's nice.
103
00:07:38,853 --> 00:07:40,186
Fury, now or never.
104
00:07:40,311 --> 00:07:42,228
Hold your...
105
00:07:47,395 --> 00:07:50,061
Damn it, Barton. I told you to stand down.
106
00:07:50,145 --> 00:07:52,520
I did! Wasn't me! I didn't shoot!
107
00:07:53,936 --> 00:07:55,186
Drop your weapon!
108
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:56,978
I swear, I didn't shoot.
109
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:01,395
Your arrow would indicate otherwise.
110
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,395
This doesn't make any sense.
I don't slip. I don't misfire.
111
00:08:11,061 --> 00:08:13,520
- What's the word on our intruder?
- Dead.
112
00:08:13,603 --> 00:08:15,561
And if his blood samples
are to be believed,
113
00:08:15,645 --> 00:08:19,395
he's almost a thousand years old
and not of this world.
114
00:08:19,478 --> 00:08:21,686
First Stark, now Muscle Beach.
115
00:08:21,770 --> 00:08:25,853
That's two high value S.H.I.E.L.D. targets
killed by our own agents inside 24 hours.
116
00:08:25,936 --> 00:08:29,061
- Barton's sticking to his story?
- He's pretty bent out of shape.
117
00:08:29,145 --> 00:08:31,228
- Won't talk to anyone.
- He'll talk to me.
118
00:08:35,936 --> 00:08:37,936
Wake up, Sleeping Beauty.
119
00:08:39,103 --> 00:08:40,270
Barton.
120
00:08:43,061 --> 00:08:45,561
Barton. Coulson, get a medic.
121
00:08:45,645 --> 00:08:48,103
How could this... Who did you let in here?
122
00:08:48,186 --> 00:08:49,353
- No one.
- No one.
123
00:08:49,436 --> 00:08:52,103
Stay with me. Stay with me.
124
00:08:54,645 --> 00:08:57,770
We're running a tox screen
to see if it was a cyanide capsule.
125
00:08:57,853 --> 00:08:59,353
Barton had a wife and kids.
126
00:08:59,436 --> 00:09:01,728
If he was gonna go,
it wouldn't be willingly.
127
00:09:01,811 --> 00:09:02,978
You think he was murdered.
128
00:09:03,061 --> 00:09:07,186
If I had to guess, my money
is on the same someone who killed Stark.
129
00:09:07,270 --> 00:09:09,395
But Barton
was in a locked cell under observation.
130
00:09:09,478 --> 00:09:11,770
There was no sign of struggle,
no entry wounds.
131
00:09:11,853 --> 00:09:14,645
It's weird, but I also have a space corpse
132
00:09:14,728 --> 00:09:17,978
that looks like a Chippendales dancer
rotting on the next table over.
133
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:22,686
Oh, wow.
134
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:25,436
Even while rotting,
he smells like lavender.
135
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,353
Really?
136
00:09:28,311 --> 00:09:29,311
Mmm.
137
00:09:29,395 --> 00:09:31,936
Still, there's not a lot
connecting a billionaire playboy
138
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:35,061
and a S.H.I.E.L.D. assassin,
unless you have any ideas.
139
00:09:35,978 --> 00:09:38,145
There was an idea.
140
00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:54,978
Dr. Ross.
Not sure if you remember me, but...
141
00:09:55,061 --> 00:09:57,228
Oh, I remember.
142
00:09:57,311 --> 00:09:59,145
And I'll tell you
the same thing I told you
143
00:09:59,228 --> 00:10:01,561
the last time
S.H.I.E.L.D. came poking around.
144
00:10:01,645 --> 00:10:02,853
I haven't seen him.
145
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:05,686
I'm not here about the green guy.
146
00:10:05,770 --> 00:10:10,603
His name is Dr. Bruce Banner.
And I'm in a rush, Agent Romanoff.
147
00:10:10,686 --> 00:10:13,395
I'm here about Tony Stark.
I believe he was murdered.
148
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,520
What? By whom?
149
00:10:16,603 --> 00:10:21,270
Me. Or at least someone's trying
to make it look that way, using this.
150
00:10:23,186 --> 00:10:25,645
So, why did you come to me?
151
00:10:25,728 --> 00:10:29,603
You're an expert in the tactical
applications of cellular biology.
152
00:10:29,686 --> 00:10:33,061
There are plenty of others.
Why did you really come here?
153
00:10:33,770 --> 00:10:35,936
I need to keep this
off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar
154
00:10:36,478 --> 00:10:39,603
and you seem to have
some experience in that department.
155
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,020
Mmm. Well, your injector's clean
156
00:10:45,103 --> 00:10:48,811
and there's no traces
of lethal pathogens of any kind.
157
00:10:48,895 --> 00:10:49,895
Then what killed him?
158
00:10:49,978 --> 00:10:52,811
Whatever it was,
it wasn't biological.
159
00:10:52,895 --> 00:10:55,520
Your antidote didn't even
make it out of the syringe.
160
00:10:55,603 --> 00:11:00,020
It looks to me like a tiny projectile
of some kind was fired from the needle.
161
00:11:00,103 --> 00:11:02,020
You're thinking nanotech?
162
00:11:02,103 --> 00:11:05,145
I'm a biologist, not a ballistics expert.
163
00:11:05,228 --> 00:11:06,936
And I believe we're done here.
164
00:11:12,228 --> 00:11:14,561
Huh. You got a side job, Dr. Ross?
165
00:11:14,645 --> 00:11:16,436
What? I don't know. I...
166
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,103
A student must have left it there.
167
00:11:22,270 --> 00:11:24,811
I got bad news and worse news.
168
00:11:24,895 --> 00:11:27,478
- You in a secure location?
- Not currently.
169
00:11:28,728 --> 00:11:29,936
Barton's dead.
170
00:11:33,311 --> 00:11:34,978
I know what he meant to you.
171
00:11:41,853 --> 00:11:44,020
Who do I kill?
172
00:11:44,686 --> 00:11:47,311
Looks like his
and Stark's murders are connected.
173
00:11:47,978 --> 00:11:50,811
- By what?
- The Avengers Initiative.
174
00:11:50,895 --> 00:11:53,478
Seems our killer
is going after the candidates.
175
00:11:53,561 --> 00:11:55,454
If someone wanted
to kneecap S.H.I.E.L.D.,
176
00:11:55,478 --> 00:11:56,686
that's a good place to start.
177
00:11:57,353 --> 00:11:58,645
Who else is on the list?
178
00:11:58,728 --> 00:12:02,561
That's the thing.
Bruce Banner and you.
179
00:12:02,645 --> 00:12:06,520
Under different circumstances,
I'd be flattered. So would Clint.
180
00:12:06,603 --> 00:12:10,270
You need to get yourself to ground.
But first, find Banner.
181
00:12:10,353 --> 00:12:13,436
Funny thing, boss. Think I already have.
182
00:12:15,395 --> 00:12:17,853
I... I'm sorry,
but I can't let you in there.
183
00:12:17,936 --> 00:12:20,228
Move, or I'll make you move.
184
00:12:21,270 --> 00:12:23,770
No need for violence, Agent Romanoff.
185
00:12:23,853 --> 00:12:26,895
That's probably not gonna work out.
For anyone.
186
00:12:33,770 --> 00:12:35,520
What? What is it?
187
00:12:37,270 --> 00:12:39,103
We need to go. Now.
188
00:12:50,061 --> 00:12:51,561
What's your 20, Coulson?
189
00:12:51,645 --> 00:12:53,686
Coffee run. Needed a breather.
190
00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:56,478
Got you a double macchiato.
Just how you like it.
191
00:13:00,061 --> 00:13:01,145
What the...
192
00:13:06,561 --> 00:13:10,103
Director, sensors are reporting
a massive energy surge.
193
00:13:10,186 --> 00:13:13,603
- Seems like it came out of nowhere.
- What are you seeing, Coulson?
194
00:13:13,686 --> 00:13:16,436
A meteorological phenomenon of some kind.
195
00:13:19,895 --> 00:13:23,270
Oh, boy. Whatever it is,
it came with bogeys.
196
00:13:23,353 --> 00:13:25,993
- They look like they're from Earth?
- Maybe Middle-earth?
197
00:13:33,770 --> 00:13:35,103
Go get 'em, boss.
198
00:13:46,103 --> 00:13:49,728
Looking for directions, sir?
Because you seem to have lost your way.
199
00:13:49,811 --> 00:13:54,061
You would do best
to kneel before a god.
200
00:13:54,145 --> 00:13:58,853
We don't really do that here.
No matter who or what you are.
201
00:13:58,936 --> 00:14:03,061
I am Loki, Crown Prince of Asgard.
202
00:14:03,145 --> 00:14:04,561
The rightful king of Jotun...
203
00:14:06,395 --> 00:14:10,311
Jotunheim. And God of M...
204
00:14:11,478 --> 00:14:14,395
Mischief. Are you gonna take that?
I'm in the middle of something.
205
00:14:14,478 --> 00:14:15,770
Damn it, Fury! Pick up.
206
00:14:15,853 --> 00:14:19,436
Hey, I'm telling you, it's safer
for everyone if I fend for myself.
207
00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:23,020
- I sort of can't die.
- Then I guess you're in luck.
208
00:14:33,686 --> 00:14:35,061
Look alive, people.
209
00:14:35,145 --> 00:14:38,686
I want strike teams locked, loaded,
and ready to move in on my mark.
210
00:14:40,436 --> 00:14:41,978
I'm a little busy here, Widow.
211
00:14:42,061 --> 00:14:43,912
Oh, good.
We'll start a support group.
212
00:14:43,936 --> 00:14:47,353
I've got General Ross,
a dozen snipers and a few tanks.
213
00:14:47,436 --> 00:14:49,436
- What are you dealing with?
- Space Vikings.
214
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,020
- Show-off.
- Handle it, then get to ground.
215
00:14:53,353 --> 00:14:54,395
Lady trouble?
216
00:14:54,478 --> 00:14:57,603
Well, what exactly is it
that brought you here, Mr. Loki?
217
00:14:57,686 --> 00:14:59,020
Vengeance.
218
00:14:59,103 --> 00:15:04,436
An agent of this planet murdered
Thor Odinson, the Crown Prince of Asgard.
219
00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:07,311
Natasha Romanoff, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
220
00:15:07,395 --> 00:15:11,020
I have Bruce Banner in my custody.
You need to stand down.
221
00:15:13,103 --> 00:15:15,895
- Hey, hey! Don't shoot!
- Who the hell opened fire?
222
00:15:15,978 --> 00:15:17,145
Not us, sir.
223
00:15:17,228 --> 00:15:19,561
Bruce! It's okay. We're okay, right?
224
00:15:19,645 --> 00:15:21,728
I'll get you out of this.
I swear on my life.
225
00:15:21,811 --> 00:15:25,895
Director Fury, you fail to comprehend
the enormity of the situation.
226
00:15:25,978 --> 00:15:27,978
Oh, I'm comprehending, all right.
227
00:15:30,061 --> 00:15:34,728
Agent Romanoff, I think you might
be better off getting out of here.
228
00:15:34,811 --> 00:15:37,770
Which is why I have to ask,
what's in the box?
229
00:15:37,853 --> 00:15:39,145
Ooh.
230
00:15:39,228 --> 00:15:41,478
Such insolence will not be tolerated.
231
00:15:41,561 --> 00:15:44,978
And your planet
will be taken as retribution.
232
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:58,686
Take it down!
233
00:16:32,603 --> 00:16:34,728
Oh, you want some of this? Come on!
234
00:16:34,811 --> 00:16:38,061
Father! No! Stop! Stop, please!
235
00:16:39,061 --> 00:16:41,645
Stop!
236
00:16:42,728 --> 00:16:46,061
- There's nothing you can do.
- That's my father. He'll listen to me.
237
00:16:46,145 --> 00:16:48,103
The General
isn't the one who started this.
238
00:16:49,728 --> 00:16:50,853
Then who did?
239
00:16:57,353 --> 00:16:58,520
Bruce!
240
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:02,103
Bruce!
241
00:17:10,978 --> 00:17:13,728
No. No, no, no. Bruce.
242
00:17:13,811 --> 00:17:18,145
But he can't die. He can't die.
243
00:17:19,811 --> 00:17:21,186
He can't.
244
00:17:26,853 --> 00:17:32,103
Declaring war on this planet
will not bring your prince back!
245
00:17:32,186 --> 00:17:33,311
Wait.
246
00:17:33,395 --> 00:17:37,186
He's not wrong.
The All-Father would want us to listen.
247
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:42,103
We have the same enemy here.
248
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:45,228
The person who killed your brother
also killed two of my people.
249
00:17:45,311 --> 00:17:48,311
Good people.
We should be working together.
250
00:17:48,395 --> 00:17:50,520
We are not allies.
251
00:17:50,603 --> 00:17:52,478
Then let me help you.
252
00:17:52,561 --> 00:17:55,103
I promise,
when I find your brother's killer,
253
00:17:55,186 --> 00:17:57,853
you will have your pound of flesh.
254
00:17:57,936 --> 00:18:00,186
What a fascinating choice of words.
255
00:18:01,186 --> 00:18:04,270
But I shall require the entire corpse.
256
00:18:05,103 --> 00:18:06,353
You need to give me time.
257
00:18:10,478 --> 00:18:11,520
Very well.
258
00:18:11,603 --> 00:18:16,770
You have until the next rise of Midgard's
sun to deliver my brother's assassin,
259
00:18:16,853 --> 00:18:21,020
or I will reduce
this planet to ash and ice.
260
00:18:33,311 --> 00:18:35,353
Why do you need my password?
261
00:18:35,478 --> 00:18:38,270
I need to get
into the Avengers Initiative files,
262
00:18:38,353 --> 00:18:42,061
but I'm locked out of the system
and wanted for murder.
263
00:18:42,145 --> 00:18:44,079
I'm not telling you
my password, Romanoff.
264
00:18:44,103 --> 00:18:45,983
- Why not?
- Because I'm not.
265
00:18:46,061 --> 00:18:48,895
Coulson.
Clint was your friend, too.
266
00:18:50,686 --> 00:18:56,311
Hashtag-Steve-Steve-Steve-
I-heart-Steve-0-7-0-4.
267
00:18:56,395 --> 00:18:57,436
Wow.
268
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,145
- Good one, Coulson.
- What?
269
00:18:59,228 --> 00:19:01,395
No, nothing. That's great. Thank you.
270
00:19:28,686 --> 00:19:31,395
Huh. How did a woman
who died two years ago
271
00:19:31,478 --> 00:19:33,145
access the database yesterday?
272
00:19:39,353 --> 00:19:44,561
You won't win. Not against me.
Not against S.H.I.E.L.D.
273
00:19:52,978 --> 00:19:55,228
You found me. You know what to do.
274
00:20:03,770 --> 00:20:06,353
Fury, it's Hope! It's all about Hope!
275
00:20:22,645 --> 00:20:25,145
It's Hope! It's all about Hope!
276
00:20:30,645 --> 00:20:32,895
It's Hope! It's all about Hope!
277
00:20:35,103 --> 00:20:37,686
It's Hope! It's all about Hope!
278
00:20:38,395 --> 00:20:39,936
Four hours to sunup, sir.
279
00:20:40,853 --> 00:20:42,645
I haven't forgotten.
280
00:20:42,728 --> 00:20:46,270
Sir, I understand that this
Prince Loki situation is the very reason
281
00:20:46,353 --> 00:20:48,311
you proposed the Avengers Initiative
282
00:20:48,395 --> 00:20:51,603
for a group of remarkable individuals
to fight the battles we can't.
283
00:20:51,686 --> 00:20:52,770
I wrote the speech.
284
00:20:53,895 --> 00:20:55,603
There's still one name left, sir.
285
00:20:57,186 --> 00:20:58,228
Yours.
286
00:21:03,645 --> 00:21:05,436
I'm not the only Avenger left.
287
00:21:08,770 --> 00:21:10,145
What?
288
00:21:19,728 --> 00:21:22,103
Is that a beeper from the '90s?
289
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:24,603
Also our last hope.
290
00:21:25,895 --> 00:21:30,686
"Hope. It's all about Hope."
291
00:21:31,603 --> 00:21:33,436
Widow.
292
00:21:37,061 --> 00:21:38,811
Boss?
293
00:21:39,978 --> 00:21:42,561
- Where are you going?
- Not sure.
294
00:21:42,645 --> 00:21:46,270
Either make a pact
with a god or deal with a devil.
295
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,853
You got a name, soldier?
296
00:22:13,811 --> 00:22:15,353
I'm here to see your boss.
297
00:22:35,353 --> 00:22:37,770
If it isn't Hank Pym.
298
00:22:37,853 --> 00:22:43,645
The balls you have to come here
and stand over her grave.
299
00:22:43,728 --> 00:22:44,978
Oh, don't worry about her.
300
00:22:45,061 --> 00:22:47,645
I doubt she'd mind,
considering she's dead.
301
00:22:47,728 --> 00:22:51,186
She died because S.H.I.E.L.D. killed her.
302
00:22:51,936 --> 00:22:53,395
She died because of you.
303
00:22:53,478 --> 00:22:58,978
Agent Hope Van Dyne was killed
on a mission outside Odessa, Ukraine.
304
00:22:59,061 --> 00:23:00,311
Agent?
305
00:23:00,395 --> 00:23:03,395
She was my daughter! My little girl.
306
00:23:03,978 --> 00:23:06,770
She missed her mother
and you exploited that!
307
00:23:06,853 --> 00:23:08,770
Her mother was an agent?
308
00:23:08,853 --> 00:23:11,603
Don't play the fool with me, Fury.
309
00:23:11,686 --> 00:23:17,520
You filled her head with nonsense about
protecting humanity and saving the world.
310
00:23:17,603 --> 00:23:21,645
You just left out how she died
the same way her mother did,
311
00:23:21,728 --> 00:23:23,686
doing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dirty work!
312
00:23:23,770 --> 00:23:28,645
And that gave you
permission to murder them?
313
00:23:28,728 --> 00:23:33,020
Anthony Stark? Clint Barton?
Bruce Banner? Natasha Romanoff?
314
00:23:33,103 --> 00:23:36,103
You took everything from me.
315
00:23:39,103 --> 00:23:41,186
I wanted you to hurt.
316
00:23:42,895 --> 00:23:46,853
To witness everything
you've ever worked for...
317
00:23:48,853 --> 00:23:50,436
fought for...
318
00:23:53,228 --> 00:23:54,686
hoped for...
319
00:23:57,728 --> 00:23:59,103
die.
320
00:23:59,686 --> 00:24:02,186
And what of Thor, Prince of Asgard?
321
00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:05,853
Goldilocks? You would have
recruited him in a heartbeat.
322
00:24:05,936 --> 00:24:09,270
Sold him some malarkey about being a hero.
323
00:24:09,353 --> 00:24:12,728
That's what you do.
What S.H.I.E.L.D. has always done.
324
00:24:12,811 --> 00:24:14,645
Find others to fight your battles.
325
00:24:14,728 --> 00:24:17,436
That's it?
You murdered him because you could?
326
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,145
His death was a favor.
Yours will be a triumph.
327
00:24:34,811 --> 00:24:36,270
What the...
328
00:24:36,353 --> 00:24:39,895
You're still pretty spry
for a guy with a corner office.
329
00:24:48,978 --> 00:24:50,770
You never cared about Hope.
330
00:24:50,853 --> 00:24:52,770
I don't give a damn about any of them.
331
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,728
Fury! Come on.
332
00:25:03,811 --> 00:25:07,645
You're supposed to be a killer?
Well, come on, then. Kill me.
333
00:25:10,395 --> 00:25:11,853
Ooh.
334
00:25:14,311 --> 00:25:16,395
How are you...
335
00:25:16,478 --> 00:25:19,061
Stop moving, Fury.
336
00:25:19,145 --> 00:25:21,145
What are you doing? Let's go...
337
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,895
It's like you're everywhere. Aah!
338
00:25:51,228 --> 00:25:53,936
Uh, what's with the goth kid?
339
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:56,436
Hello. Trickster God. Hi.
340
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,811
S.H.I.E.L.D. is people,
341
00:25:58,895 --> 00:26:02,561
people willing to give their lives
for something greater than themselves
342
00:26:02,645 --> 00:26:06,478
to save the world from men like you.
343
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,395
Agent Hope Van Dyne understood that
and she will never be forgotten.
344
00:26:14,978 --> 00:26:17,478
Then you honor her.
345
00:26:19,728 --> 00:26:21,270
Then honor her.
346
00:26:22,228 --> 00:26:25,395
Well, this was
an absolute pleasure, Director Fury.
347
00:26:25,478 --> 00:26:28,186
Good. Now take your hammer
and get off my planet.
348
00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:31,520
About that,
we should be allies.
349
00:26:31,603 --> 00:26:33,520
You know, I've just had an idea.
350
00:26:33,603 --> 00:26:36,853
I was thinking I might extend
my stay here on Midgard.
351
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,020
For how long?
352
00:26:52,145 --> 00:26:54,770
Good evening, my loyal subjects.
353
00:26:55,353 --> 00:26:58,770
It is with great pride
that I stand before you today
354
00:26:58,853 --> 00:27:01,436
to announce that in just one day's time,
355
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,103
the nations of Earth
have put aside their differences
356
00:27:05,186 --> 00:27:08,436
and united under my command.
357
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,436
It's the unspoken truth of humanity
that you crave subjugation.
358
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,020
The bright lure of freedom hobbles you,
diminishes your life's joy.
359
00:27:17,103 --> 00:27:20,311
You were made to be ruled.
360
00:27:20,895 --> 00:27:27,145
So I have come
to help you fulfill your destiny.
361
00:27:33,436 --> 00:27:36,478
The Avengers fell
before they had a chance to rise.
362
00:27:36,561 --> 00:27:38,020
May they rest in peace.
363
00:27:38,103 --> 00:27:40,103
They can, but we won't.
364
00:27:41,228 --> 00:27:44,686
The Avengers were always
meant to be more than a team.
365
00:27:44,770 --> 00:27:46,311
They were an idea,
366
00:27:46,395 --> 00:27:52,353
the affirmation of humanity's need
to believe that in our darkest hour,
367
00:27:52,936 --> 00:27:55,603
we will find our heroes.
368
00:27:59,561 --> 00:28:03,686
I believe that in this universe,
as in every other, hope never dies.
369
00:28:05,853 --> 00:28:09,853
As long as someone keeps
their good eye on the bigger picture.
370
00:28:11,645 --> 00:28:12,853
Welcome back, Captain.
371
00:28:15,895 --> 00:28:17,561
So where's the fight?
