Marvel's Avengers Assemble (2013) s05e01 Episode Script

Shadow of Antlantis Part I

[MS.
MARVEL.]
Whoo-hoo! [LAUGHS.]
Yeah! Whee! [IRON MAN.]
That's the spirit.
Like I always say, if you're gonna be late, make an entrance.
And here we are.
Sorry I'm late, guys.
School night.
Ms.
Marvel, great to have you here.
Kamala! Welcome to the party! Nice to see you, Ms.
Marvel.
Hey, Shortstop, glad you made it.
Did I miss her? Is she here? Oh, I really wanted to meet her.
[BLACK PANTHER.]
You have missed nothing, Ms.
Marvel.
Indeed, now that you have arrived, I can officially present the reason for this gathering.
My sister, Shuri, princess of Wakanda.
[NERVOUS CHUCKLE.]
Shuri, these are my compatriots, the Avengers.
I'm very pleased to meet you all.
- [AVENGERS CHATTERING.]
- You said this was formal.
It is your formal introduction to the team.
Just try to Hi.
So, I'm Kamala.
Oh.
Whoops.
Sorry.
Superhero names, right? Ms.
Marvel.
My brother has told me so much about you.
Well, he told us next to nothing about you.
Shocking.
I've never met a real princess.
It must be awesome.
It has its perks.
You didn't have to go to all this trouble for us to meet your sister, who is stunning, by the way.
We could've just ordered some pizza, watched a movie on the TV.
Shuri is the crown princess of Wakanda.
She does not order in.
Maybe she should.
Maybe you should.
You gotta start relaxing, buddy.
We are colleagues.
Allies.
I don't think we are buddies.
You're an Avenger.
I'm an Avenger.
We're practically family.
If that is so, we'd know things about one another that the general public would not, correct? Well, yeah, in theory.
Then tell me, buddy, what is my favorite color? I'm gonna go with black? - [RUMBLING, THUD.]
- Huh? Breaking news.
Hundreds of unknown soldiers are attacking Manhattan.
First responders have been activated all over the city.
Stay tuned for updates.
Shuri, go to the embassy.
But, T'Challa, I can Please do not argue.
Go! [IRON MAN.]
Black Panther! T'Challa! How does he expect to get Never mind.
Let's go.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING.]
Okay, people.
You know the drill.
[MS.
MARVEL.]
Protect civilians, stop bad guys.
- [YELLS, GRUNTS.]
- Aah! [MS.
MARVEL YELLS, GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
[HORN BLARING.]
[PASSENGERS SCREAMING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[PASSENGERS SCREAMING.]
Anybody got an ID on these guys? [MALE VOICE.]
Atlanteans, forward! [GRUNTS.]
People of the surface, I am Tiger Shark of Atlantis, and this city belongs to me! [GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[CLAWS CLACKING.]
[YELLS.]
- [BLOW LANDS.]
- [GROANS.]
[ALL GRUNTING.]
Atlantis already rules three quarters of this world.
The oceans must rule it all! You will fall before me, surface dwellers! All of you will [GRUNTS.]
What are you doing here, Tiger Shark? What is this madness? Black Panther.
I hadn't thought to find you here.
No matter.
You will die just like the rest! [YELLS.]
Attuma signed a treaty with the surface world.
Why is Atlantis attacking now? Attuma is a fool.
I will conquer this city.
I will rule the surface, and Atlantis as well! [IRON MAN.]
Ah-ah-ah! [GRUNTS.]
Oh.
Wow.
I felt that.
Tiger Shark? He's more like Tiger Tank.
Tiger Shark is one of Attuma's generals.
He is a formidable opponent.
Formidable? He went down with one punch.
You're welcome for the save, buddy.
Save? I was attempting to learn the reason for this attack when [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
[IRON MAN.]
Nope.
- Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
- [GROWLS.]
Bad sharky! [GRUNTS.]
Wow.
That was easier than I expected.
It is not over.
I think it's over.
And BT-dubs, you're welcome, again.
There was no splash.
Why wasn't there a sp - Iron Man, look out! - [YELLS.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[YELLS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Keep him off me.
I need to do some quick repairs.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
[CRIES OUT.]
[BEEPING STOPS.]
That was my intention.
Okay.
I'm taking back the "one punch" thing.
This guy's like the Hulk down here, with fins.
Tiger Shark is vastly more powerful underwater.
[YELLS.]
[YELLS.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
You're only the first to fall.
All of the surface world will kneel before Tiger Shark! [IRON MAN.]
So, you think now's a good time to tell me your favorite color? [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
Keep the pressure on.
We're pushing them back.
I do prefer throwing, Captain, but, yes, we are winning the day! Er, night! [YELLS.]
[GRUNTS, YELLS.]
The Asgardian is right, my lord.
The Avengers are winning.
Is it not now time to use the weapon? We will deploy the weapon when I decide, if I decide.
Keep to the plan! [IRON MAN.]
So, reroute from tier six and three.
- [BEEPING.]
- No? All right.
Uh, connect auxiliaries at junction Beta 4-5, and - [BEEPING.]
- No again.
Uh T'Challa, tell me you've got something.
- I do.
- Hey, stop that! I'm having enough trouble with Tiger Shark damage.
The net is an Atlantean version of the Starktech plasma cable, is it not? Basically.
The phase variance is a bit off, but Wait a minute.
How do you know about the plasma cable? We're not releasing that until the next Stark Expo.
That is not important now.
I have the solution.
I believe if we combine systems, we can create a counter-variance pulse and And disrupt the net.
Good thinking, buddy.
Please do not call me "buddy.
" Rerouting tier four to upper plating.
Repulsor packs charging.
Connecting junctions 15, 6, and 78.
Ready for counter-pulse in five, four Three, two [BOTH.]
One! [GRUNTS.]
Hey, guys, how was the swim? [GRUNTS.]
Welcome back.
We can use the extra hands.
[GRUNTING, GROANING.]
It seems you've contained the battle to the bridge.
[GRUNTING.]
Mostly.
[GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS, YELLS.]
[SCREAMING.]
If we win here, the fight is over.
It is not over until Tiger Shark is defeated.
[YELLS.]
Call a halt, villain.
Your war ends here.
[ANGRY GRUNT.]
No, Asgardian.
Here is where the war begins! Mm, no.
I'm pretty sure this is the part where the bad guy gets smacked unconscious, and the Avengers win.
My lord, the weapon! Now is the time! You are right.
Now is the time.
The Horn of Neptune! [INHALES.]
Everyone, back! [HORN BELLOWING.]
[AVENGERS GROAN.]
[GROANS.]
Well, that was awful.
[GROANS.]
[LAUGHS.]
You have no idea what's coming.
None of you! [LAUGHS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Aah! What was that thing? [GRUNTS.]
Honestly, I was kind of expecting more.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
It was bad, but [GROANS.]
The Horn of Neptune is not the danger, Ms.
Marvel.
The danger is in what it calls.
- What does it call? - [RUMBLING.]
That.
[ROARS.]
[ROARS.]
Down, beast! [GRUNTS.]
Yield! Yield! [GRUNTING.]
I don't think it's listening.
Then we turn up the volume.
[CREATURE GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
This isn't working! T'Challa, duck! [GRUNTS.]
Tiger Shark must not be allowed to use the Horn of Neptune a second time.
Split the team.
It's the only way.
Heavy hitters, hold the bridge.
That means you, too, Ms.
Marvel.
Wait.
I'm a heavy hitter? [CHUCKLES.]
Awesome! [ROARS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ROARING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Come on, boys! We're going shark hunting! Iron Man, Black Panther, we're moving out.
You really like giving orders, don't you? Old habits.
Come on, buddy.
I'm your ride.
[ROARS.]
[BLACK PANTHER.]
I'm getting traces of the horn's unique energy signature, but nothing conclusive.
What's the skinny on this Horn of Neptune thing? What are we actually dealing with? It is a powerful Atlantean artifact.
Wakanda keeps track of such items.
This is one of the worst.
All right.
Well, he's used it, and we have our giant sea monster.
What more can he do? There are many such creatures in the oceans' depths.
The horn can summon all of them if Tiger Shark wishes.
[IRON MAN.]
See? This is the kind of thing you share with your buddies before the super-powered megalomaniac tries to take over the world.
What's important is finding Tiger Shark ASAP, before he can use the horn again.
Why is he running away? He's got that horn.
Why not stay with his soldiers? [BLACK PANTHER.]
He is most powerful in water.
It does not make sense he'd move away from the river.
Unless Unless [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Unless what? Finish your sentences! [CRIES OUT.]
[YELLS.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[CRIES OUT.]
[YELLS, GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[SCREECHES.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Away, vile creature! You shall not have this bridge! [GRUNTS.]
Guys, whatever you're doing, do it faster! I don't know how long we can hold this thing! The horn's energy signature is stronger here.
Tiger Shark definitely came this way.
[IRON MAN.]
Can you track him? I can.
Can you track me? Absolutely, buddy.
With your stealth mesh turned off, you're lit up like a Christmas Tree.
[SIGHS.]
Fine.
Follow and be ready.
All is well, my lord.
Your army will take this city, after all.
With the power of this weapon The horn is nothing.
This city is nothing.
Find the others.
Meet me at the rendezvous point.
Go! [BEEPING.]
Tiger Shark, what are you playing at? Have you secured the target? How dare you speak to me thus! I dare quite a lot, Atlantean, and you are running out of time.
This battle with the Avengers is taking too long! Watch your tone, human.
All goes according to my plan.
"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
" Robert Burns.
Well, the king of cats.
So brave, so foolhardy.
Not so foolhardy.
Cats do eat fish, after all.
And sharks eat everything! [YELLS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING, YELLING.]
Aah! [GROANS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Fool.
Water is my element.
[YELLS.]
Did you think you could face me here alone? Who told you that I was alone? [GROANS.]
Aah! [GROANS.]
[YELLS.]
Have you learned nothing? I have the Horn of Neptune! [INHALES.]
Sorry.
[GRUNTS.]
We already heard that song.
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
- [INHALES.]
- [GRUNTS.]
No dice, fella.
We really can't let you have that.
[GRUNTING.]
[INHALES.]
[SCREAMING.]
[GROANING.]
It is over, Tiger Shark.
Surrender.
You think you've won? You've won nothing! [YELLS.]
Tiger Shark's gone again.
He destroyed the horn.
That's a good thing, right? Please tell me that's a good thing.
Thor, what's your status? Victory is ours, Captain.
Uh, guys? The beast's power was tremendous, but we have taken the field! [RUMBLING.]
Guys? Easy, Muscles.
We did good out here, but let's not get cocky.
Guys, look! [ROARING.]
[ROARING.]
All right, then.
Hey, Army, you know what would be great? If you guys could do whatever it is you're going to do with that horn.
Please? Now? Like, right now? The big brains are working on it.
You'll just have to hold the line, soldier.
[CAPTAIN MARVEL.]
Easy for you to say.
No circuitry, no working parts.
How can it be just a shell? Two possibilities.
A unique lattice of fissures in its structure allowed it to produce its effects when air was forced through.
Or "Or"? What's "or"? Or it is magic.
Okay, let's reconstruct.
These monsters are just monsters, right? They're not trained to obey.
They are mindless.
The horn calls them, and they follow, attacking everything in their path.
So this thing has to have an off switch, right? Yes.
A counter-charm.
But it requires the horn to be in one piece.
We'll leave you to it.
Come on, Cap.
[ROARING.]
[GRUNTING.]
- High and low, just like in training.
- [YELLS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [CRIES OUT.]
[GRUNTS.]
[BELLOWING GROWL.]
[STIFLED GAG.]
If I have to smell this thing much longer, I'm gonna barf! Ugh! [GRUNTING.]
Captain Marvel! [GRUNTS.]
[ROARING.]
[CAPTAIN MARVEL, THOR GRUNTING.]
632, 633, 634, 635! Yes! We've got our off switch.
The mapping is good.
It is a perfect replica.
See? That wasn't so hard.
Couple more compliments, and we'll graduate from buddies to bromance.
Right.
Well, this hologram cannot stand in for the horn itself.
It lacks sufficient energy.
Pretty sure my armor Cannot generate enough energy.
We need something at least four times as powerful.
Something like that.
Well, two for the penthouse? Indeed.
I believe your arc reactor might be just enough.
- [ELECTRICITY ARCING.]
- Your arc reactor is not enough! I know.
We have to go with plan B.
Right.
Tap the city's energy grid.
[BEEPS.]
Sorry, New York.
It's only temporary.
Almost! Almost there! "Almost" won't cut it! I need more! There is no more! The city is dark! Somebody's still got their lights on! Who is that? [BLACK PANTHER.]
The Wakandan Embassy! Of course! Makes sense.
You're using one of those Vibranium Gyroforges as a generator.
Am I right? The Gyroforge is a secret.
How do you know of it? We're buddies.
We know things about each other most people don't.
[HUFFS.]
Fair enough.
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[BELLOWING GROWL.]
[ROARING.]
Guys, seriously, what's the holdup? You see? If you had let me stay and help you, all of this could've been avoided.
How would your presence have changed [FRUSTRATED GROAN.]
Never mind.
Shuri, please just do as I say.
Connect the embassy's Vibranium Gyroforge to the city's power grid.
Sisters, huh? You have no idea.
[ASCENDING WHIRRING.]
Shuri did it! We're at 150 percent.
Yes, yes.
Wakandan technology is fantastic.
Blow the horn! [HORN BELLOWING.]
[HORN CONTINUES BELLOWING.]
[ROARING.]
[GROWLS.]
Yeah! And stay out! Avengers, the bridge is clear.
[GRUNTING.]
Nice work, team, but we've got some bad news.
We got ambushed by some Atlantean stragglers.
We lost Tiger Shark's trail near Embassy Row.
[IRON MAN.]
Embassy Row? What's Tiger Shark want there? Oh, no! Reconnect to Shuri, royal priority! And another thing.
Aren't you the one who strictly forbids us from connecting the embassy to outside systems? - Honestly, for a king -Shuri, behind you! Shuri!
