The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! (2010) s01e24 Episode Script
This Hostage Earth
[Explosions.]
You dare come here and challenge me? Tell your master he has made a grave mistake.
No one challenges Karnilla.
I am [Gasps.]
[Strains.]
Well done, Mortal.
Zemo was right, your power is impressive.
The Norn queen is a formidable opponent.
Or was at least.
Come, Skurge, let's us give the grey gargoyle his reward.
And then we should collect our prize.
Oh, how much longer are we supposed to wait, Zemo? All will be revealed soon, abomination.
The time has come, Mortals.
As promised.
Ah, the Norn stones you spoke of.
How are a bunch of rocks supposed to help us take over the world? The stones are but the first step, Chemistro.
And where is grey gargoyle? The battle was hard fought.
He did not make it.
Today we become the masters of Earth.
assemble, we are strong forever fight as one [Iron man.]
Gentlemen, prepare to be amazed.
Okay.
Well, this is for Thor, mostly.
And no offense, cap.
None taken.
You were saying, iron man? Right.
As you know, T'challa and I have been working on a way to get you back into Asgard.
We think we've got it.
Ta-da.
I do not understand how this machine can Pierce the veil between Midgard and the other realms.
What we need is a weak spot, somewhere the two planes overlap.
In that spot, we use the door to create a wormhole.
You go in here, you come out in Asgard.
Truly, my friends, I'm impressed.
Not to rain on your parade, Tony.
But I saw a similar machine do that same kind of thing back in my day.
It worked, too.
Where? It wasn't your fault, Hank.
You couldn't have known what would happen with Ultron.
You don't understand, jan.
I should have.
After all, my mind was the basis for Ultron's this is not your fault.
You are not Ultron.
Thor's alive and everything worked out.
We're going to be okay, Hank.
Please, don't leave.
Jan, the whole time I've been with the avengers, I've been betraying everything I believe in.
I embraced violence, and then created something worse.
I created a robot that almost ended all life on Earth.
That's about as far from okay as I can imagine.
[Ant wings flutter.]
[Sighs.]
[Intercom beeps.]
[Iron man.]
Wasp, we need you in the assembly room.
You're gonna want to hear this.
[Captain america.]
Bucky and I had infiltrated a hydra base in Norway, rumor was that the red skull had some kind of doomsday weapon there.
But what we found was beyond anything we'd ever seen.
The skull had a machine similar to yours and he was pulling monsters through it into our world.
He was enslaving them, putting collars on the creatures.
He was creating an army to take over the world.
And if Bucky and I hadn't stopped him [thor.]
But you did, captain.
And from your tale, it would seem that this red skull did indeed open a portal to the Asgardian realms.
The creatures you describe, they are familiar to me.
Hang on, I've got satellite images coming in on hydra base.
Jarvis, trace the energy coming from that location.
[Iron man.]
This spot.
This is what I was talking about.
This is a point where two planes are overlapping like a dimensional fault line.
Fancy.
So what are we looking at? [Black panther.]
Ley lines.
Veins of magic that run through our world, connecting it to others.
Or, as iron man would say, paths of other-dimensional energy that reveal weak spots between the dimensions.
In this case, there are eight, not counting Earth.
One for each realm.
It is said the nine realms are interconnected by Yggradsil, the tree of life.
Big tree.
Call it whatever you want.
This is how we're gonna get you home.
[Jarvis.]
Alert, dimensional energy flares in progress.
Something's affecting the energy at each of the locations, except one that's in an active volcano.
Thor, wait.
Nay.
If the threat we face is Asgardian, I will not allow it to put Midgard in jeopardy again.
Well, we Mortals certainly appreciate that.
But you're on a team, remember? Seven locations, seven avengers.
Whatever's going on, we'll deal with it together.
Stay in radio contact.
If you find anything, call it in.
Avengers, assem well, actually, avengers, dissemble.
They are coming.
You can finally earn your reward, Zemo.
For if you and your team succeed today, you will be given Midgard as promised.
You need not worry, enchantress.
I know their strengths and weakness now.
I know the avengers better than they know themselves.
Guys, I think I've got something.
Some kind of glowy, magic looking rock.
Hang on.
[Screams.]
If got any last words for your friends, now's the time.
Anyone want to switch spots? [Iron man.]
Jan repeat.
What's happening? [Wasp.]
It's a trap.
Abomination is here.
Wasp, get out of there.
Wasp! [Jarvis.]
Magical energy source located.
Warning, pulse in progress.
[Cries out.]
Laser! That's living laser, iron man.
Living, as in something you're not going to be in about five seconds.
You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to this.
[Grunts.]
I don't know if you heard him, but iron man recommended you run.
[Grunts.]
[Yells.]
You're done, do you hear me? There's no escape for you.
[Cries out.]
[Grunts.]
Paste pot Pete? No, wait, you're the hypno-hustler.
Am I right? How can you not remember who I am? You punched me in the face! That doesn't really narrow it down, pal.
[Wonder man.]
I'm warning you, avenger, back off.
I don't want to fight you, but I can't let you have the stone.
I can only assume the other masters of evil have been dispatched to the remaining six locations.
What interest does Zemo have in Asgard? Zemo, he it's nothing that you can stop.
I hear the doubt in your voice.
Whatever Zemo is planning, you obviously have reservations.
You don't understand.
What? That Zemo is keeping you alive? I believe that Wakandan science could solve your problem as well.
Come, let us discuss this like rational men.
Avengers, I believe I have found the source of the disturbances detected by iron man's computer.
It is a Norn stone, an artifact of Asgardian magic created by Asgard's most powerful sorceress.
[Enchantress.]
You insult me, Odinson.
Karnilla's power is nothing compared to mine.
Dynamo, shut down the avengers' communications.
[Card beeps.]
[Static crackles.]
What is the meaning of this, enchantress? Why have you brought the Norn stones to Midgard? Midgard was once the center of the nine realms.
I am going to make it the middle realm once again.
The stones are going to tear down the walls between Asgard and Earth.
You are more of a fool than I originally thought, Zemo, if you think that [Grunts.]
What do you mean all communications are down? Why? [Jarvis.]
External interference.
[Grunts.]
Having fun yet? What are you even doing here, parks? What is it you're after? Zemo wants something.
Don't know what, don't care, because I'm doing exactly what I want, turning you into a smoking pile of ash.
You're useless, bug.
You know that, right? [Yelps.]
Even the guys with no powers, with the shield and the bow, even they'd put up more of a fight.
You? You're nothing.
[Strains.]
Maybe so, but I'm still gonna kick your sorry hide.
[Grunts.]
[Chuckles.]
I should of brought my camera.
No one's ever gonna believe [growls.]
Iron man did exactly as I knew he would, the fool.
He divided the avengers.
And while they may have defeated my masters of evil as a team, individually they will fall.
Think to test your strength against mine, Mortal? I have no need to, because your defeat was planned before you even arrived.
[Grunts.]
[Cries out.]
[Groans.]
Fool.
You had your chance to escape this.
But you turned your back on me.
[Strains.]
For your arrogance, Midgard will pay the price.
[Growls.]
[Strains.]
Say goodbye, girl.
[Pants.]
[Strains.]
[Yells.]
Are you okay? Yeah.
Hank, I can't believe you came.
And oh, wait.
Can I change my answer about being okay? What's going on? Isn't this your plan, genius? [Grunts.]
[Unintelligible whispers.]
Kto who is there? Show yourselves! Do not trust the enchantress, Zemo.
Whatever she promised you, it is a lie.
To her, mortals are nothing, they are beneath Asgardians.
Not equals to be bargained with.
[Chuckles.]
Do you really believe that I ever trusted her? [Strains.]
You dare? Now, enchantress, continue your spell.
But when the armies of Asgard come to Earth, I want them under my control.
Huh, light weight.
[Overlapping murmurs.]
No, stay away! I'm afraid I can't do that, dynamo.
[Grunts.]
Nyet.
Nyet, please! Always stay focused on the matter at hand, comrade.
[Card beeps.]
[Ant-man.]
Anyone listening? We got a big problem here.
Aah! Hey, hey, help me! Get this armor off me.
This stuff is dangerous.
No kidding.
[Card beeps.]
Uh, does anyone know how to stop this, whatever it is? There's an elf here giving me a dirty look.
[Cries out.]
What is this? What's happening? I do not know, Sam Williams, but if do you truly believe that there will be a world left for you to live in if you help Zemo? Jarvis, begin energy absorption.
[Strains.]
Energy release, now! [Screams.]
[Groans.]
Thor? Thor, any tips on turning off a magic rock.
I've never slain an Asgardian before.
I'm looking forward to it.
[Grunts.]
[Grunts.]
Avengers, no matter the cost, you must destroy the stones.
The fate of the world depends on it.
No.
No! [Jarvis.]
All magical activity has subsided.
Threat level, zero.
Connection to iron man armor lost.
Connection to avengers id cards lost.
Avengers bio-signatures not found.
What an unexpected surprise.
Nay.
Welcome home, brother.
[Laughs.]
