Marvel Knights: Black Panther (2010) s01e01 Episode Script
1.1
1 Man: Stay focused.
I hear the Wakandans are fierce.
Fierce? Isn't that what you said about the last tribe? Yeah, and the one before that.
Actually, no.
I only said that about the Wakandans.
Well, it doesn't matter.
I hope they can fight because I'm getting bored.
What is that? The Panther's teeth.
Now get focused.
Stay cool.
Hold your ground.
Running will only make it worse.
Oh, it's getting worse.
Run away! Kiss my- Man: Tell your tribe.
Tell everyone.
à Black Panther à à Black Panther, Black Panther à à Black Panther à à Black Panther à à Black Panther, Black Panther à à Black Panther à Get out my way.
Man: They can't do that! We're the United States of America.
Where do a bunch of savages get off telling us they got a no-fly zone? Hey, what are they gonna do, throw spears at our jets? Did I say something wrong? My God, Dondi, I'm sorry.
You- you know I didn't mean you when I say- Shut up, Wallace.
I mean, they're nothing like you.
Shut up.
Is there someone here who can give us some accurate intel on these people? Uh, that would be me, Ms.
Reese.
Mr.
Ross, who the hell are these people, Everett? Wakanda is a small country in Africa notable for never having been conquered in its entire history.
When you consider the history of the region, the fact that the French, the English, the Belgians, or any number of Christian or Islamic invaders were never able to defeat them in battle, well, it's unprecedented.
The Wakandans have a warrior spirit that makes the Vietnamese look like well, the French.
They've also maintained a technological superiority that defies explanation.
Where'd they get their tech from, Soviets? No Cold War alliances with either side.
And no contemporary alliances with the Arab world, including OPEC.
Geologists estimate they have large oil deposits.
Well, that's what our boys at Halliburton said.
They don't even pump it.
That is crazy.
Apparently, they don't need it, as an energy source or a financial base.
They have a variety of eco-friendly alternative power sources, like solar and hydrogen.
Who's in charge? He's called the Black Panther.
What does this have to do with the price of tea in China, gentlemen? Since when has beating the French meant anything? You give me a 12 man black ops squad and I'll- It's been tried, General.
With the best.
The best? As if you had a day of military training.
The best.
à Everett: On his first assignment in Africa, Captain America was young and inexperienced.
He knew little about Wakanda, and even less about the Black Panther.
Cap was on a mission to stop a Nazi squad intent on stealing Wakanda's vibranium deposits.
What Cap didn't know is that the Wakandans were onto the invasion days ago.
Black Panther: You can go home now.
We have already taken out the garbage.
I wanted to question them.
We have the answers we need.
I guess that means I have questions for you.
Goodbye, Captain America.
We need to talk.
Maybe you just lop off the head of every newcomer who hits town.
If we did that, you wouldn't have yours.
But those Nazis were here for a reason.
Yes.
To steal our vibranium.
The mineral that can only be found here in Wakanda.
Hitler needs it for the next generation of their missile systems.
As do you.
These are dangerous times.
You need to choose a side.
We have.
Our own.
We take our borders very seriously, and you have crossed ours.
Now, look here- Mistake.
Okay, buddy.
I've just about had it.
You're just plain rude! Move back.
I've been following your fledgling career, Steve Rogers.
How did you know my name? I think in time you will represent to your nation what the Black Panther represents to Wakanda, and that is a good thing.
But today I must teach you a lesson.
Hmm.
