Marvel's Avengers Assemble (2013) s05e10 Episode Script

Hey! What do you think you're doing? I was just about to ask you the same question.
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[YELLS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GROANS.]
I'm not gonna ask you again.
[BLACK PANTHER.]
I would prefer to avoid unnecessary bloodshed in my palace garden.
Yeah.
Still working out if it's unnecessary.
Captain, this is White Wolf.
He is a trusted member of the royal family.
I have recently tasked him with helping Wakandan security.
- Hunter, this is Captain - I know who he is.
I want to know why he's here.
I arranged a meeting of Secret Avengers.
Captain America was invited.
But I wasn't.
What's wrong with this picture? Brother, please.
Fine.
I'll just go make sure everything is secure.
[CAPTAIN AMERICA.]
I'll say this for your brother, he takes the job seriously.
Indeed.
The palace has never been more secure.
While we await my sister's arrival, allow me to present the final member of our group.
"Final member"? What do you mean? He means me, Captain.
Zemo! Hello.
No doubt you're surprised to see me.
[GROWLS.]
Wait.
Stop! - [GRUNTS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- Steve, wait! - [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Stand down, Captain.
Baron Zemo is with us.
- He is on our side.
- What? Your reaction is understandable, but what he says is true.
[GROWLS.]
Tsk, tsk, Captain.
Is this any way to treat your new teammate? Now, then, if you've finished with your heroic display, please take a seat.
You may learn something.
There are three pieces that form the Panther Key.
Decades ago, the previous Shadow Council tried to weaponize a powerful Wakandan artifact but were thwarted by the Captain here and your grandfather.
Your grandfather hid that artifact in a place that could only be accessed via the so-called Panther's Key.
Your grandfather then broke the key into three sections and hid them as well, forcing Black Panther to scour the world to retrieve the sections ahead of the modern Shadow Council.
In that, he has been victorious.
We now have the key here, safe in Wakanda, reassembled.
The Shadow Council has nothing.
But there is yet another problem.
We still don't know what the key is supposed to open.
Indeed, Princess Shuri.
I have automated systems searching my father's records.
[BEEPING.]
Perhaps they will find the answer there.
In the meantime, the key will be kept here, in the palace.
My presentation is complete.
Are there any questions? [CLEARS THROAT.]
T'Challa, can I have a word, in private? You're comfortable with Zemo having access to the key? Zemo has been a strong asset, Captain.
He is under my protection.
Do you know how many evil plots and schemes he's hatched? How many times he's pretended to be a hero just long enough until he can stab us in the back? We are in my palace, in the country where I am king.
My back is well guarded.
Zemo is a manipulator.
If there's a way he can double-cross an ally, he'll find it.
I have made my judgment, Captain.
- This discussion is - [THUD.]
Does Wakanda have blackouts? We do not.
But emergency systems should activate.
Hmm.
Odd.
It's Zemo.
He did this.
I warned you.
Zemo could not have done this.
His access does not extend It's Zemo.
We have to get outta here before he can finish whatever it is he's planning.
[GRUNTING.]
The palace doors require a slight charge to pull them open.
Without it, the doors become an indestructible wall.
It is a security feature.
Okay, so we need to get the doors powered up again.
We do.
The door control mechanism is located inside this wall.
Got it.
[GRUNTS.]
- Shuri, are you all right? - I'm fine.
I was in the east wing when everything went into lockdown.
But I did have to cut through the wall to get out.
We must find out how far the blackout extends.
I'm rerouting emergency power to the conference room.
[ASCENDING WHIRRING.]
What are you people doing in there? The whole palace is blacked out.
- Hunter, where are you? - West wing, helping some Dora Milaje open the doors.
Do you have eyes on Zemo? I thought the good Baron was keeping company with the rest of your little club.
Contact me when you have rallied the palace guards.
T'Challa, what's happening? We are attempting to determine that now, Hunter.
Go.
Hmm? Shuri, please display the palace security schematic.
[BEEPING.]
[SHURI.]
Looks like the palace staff are locked in separate wings and floors.
Nearly all the palace doors are powered off or sealed shut.
Most but not all.
These doors are still active and open.
Does anyone else think that looks like a path? It does.
And it's leading to T'Challa's bedroom? Why would anyone want to go in there? The key is there! Zemo! - Both of you, with me! - Wait! If it was Zemo, he also depowered the prison level.
No, not the entire level.
Only one cell is open.
How could he do that? Which cell? Which prisoner is loose? - [BEEPING.]
- No! [BLOWS LANDING ON DOOR.]
M'Baku.
[LAUGHING.]
Did you miss me? [LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHING.]
I've come to pay respect, Your Highness.
[GRUNTS.]
[LAUGHS, GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
I can escape and bring payback to the little cats who locked me away? This must be my lucky day.
[YELLS.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[GROWLS.]
Kaboom! [LAUGHING.]
Do you have to laugh at everything? [GRUNTS.]
Not everything.
[GRUNTS.]
Only when I get to hurt people.
Like now! [YELLS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
[LAUGHING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[LAUGHING.]
[KNUCKLES CRACKING.]
Don't think I've forgotten about you.
[GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[LAUGHS.]
So quiet.
You're going to suffer in silence? [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
We prefer our actions to speak for us.
[GROWLS.]
[GRUNTS, LAUGHS.]
Well, this has been fun, but I just can't stay.
[GRUNTS.]
Shuri! He's getting away! Every second we waste gives Zemo a chance to get to the key.
M'Baku will rampage through the streets of the city.
T'Challa, our people are in danger.
We need to act.
And we will.
[GRUNTS, LAUGHS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS, GROWLS.]
Is there no way out of this maze? You could always be smart and go back to your cell.
I'm giving you one chance, M'Baku.
Go back.
[LAUGHS.]
You're giving me a chance? Are you mad, Princess? Stand aside.
You're in my way.
You're not leaving here.
You're going right back into the cell where we put you.
Oh, I am leaving, but now I will crush you first and leave you broken for your brother to find.
Mm, I think they may have a problem with that.
"They"? They.
Dora Milaje? [LAUGHING.]
- More little dolls for me to break.
- [KNUCKLES CRACK.]
[ALL GRUNTING.]
- [BOTH YELL.]
- Aah! Bah! I'm not afraid of you.
You both are nothing.
[GRUNTS.]
[YELLS.]
[ALL GRUNTING.]
[YELLS.]
I'm sorry.
You were saying? What in the world? Zemo! I knew it.
Good job, White Wolf.
Hunter, what is the meaning of this? What are you doing here? I had a hunch this criminal would use the confusion to make a grab for the key.
A hunch? I think he's responsible for the blackout.
He probably opened the prison, too, to keep us all busy with M'Baku.
Hate to say I told you so, but that's a classic Zemo move.
[GROANING.]
Captain America Give it up, Zemo.
We've got you dead to rights.
Wait.
You think I am responsible for this? When the blackout hit, I was in the conference room.
Someone struck me from behind, and And you just happened to wake up in my brother's chambers.
Yeah, you're gonna need to come up with a better lie than that, Baron.
You're caught.
I caught you.
Yes.
I am interested in how you caught him, Hunter.
Does it matter? I found him here.
He went for the key, I took him down.
No! That's a lie! He is lying! Quiet, Zemo.
You found him, here.
You know, bringing outsiders into the palace was bad enough, but keeping the key in your bedroom? Why not just set it on the front lawn with a sign that says, "Come steal me"? Hunter, who told you the key was here? I don't know.
You or Shuri.
No.
I am quite sure I did not tell you.
And I do not believe Shuri would either.
Then Zemo.
He must have let it slip at some point.
Only two people knew the key was being kept in my chambers myself and Shuri.
Zemo was not told, nor was Captain America until moments ago.
Hunter, what is really going on here? [CHUCKLING.]
That's your trouble, Whiskers.
You stick to your habits.
You always hid your best toys in here.
Hunter, what have you done? [BOTH GRUNTING.]
Hold still so I can crush you! [GRUNTING CONTINUES.]
- Annoying mosquitoes! Get away from me! - [GRUNTING.]
[YELLS.]
[CRASH.]
Don't be a fool, M'Baku.
[PANTING.]
[YELLS.]
[GROANS.]
Return to your cell before you get hurt.
Ha! Hurt me, little Princess? No.
I am the one who hurts you! [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[STRAINING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[WHITE WOLF IN EARPIECE.]
Everything Zemo said is true.
I knocked him out.
- I dragged him here.
- Wait.
What? I'm the one who cut the power and put the palace in a lockdown.
Finish this.
I'm needed at the palace.
As you wish, Your Majesty.
Finish me? [GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Ha! I am M'Baku! [YELLS.]
[CRYING OUT.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
I am sick of you! I am invincible! [ROARS.]
[GRUNTING.]
I am I am I'm going back to my cell.
Why, Hunter? Why would you do this? Because of Father.
I'm following his wishes.
You're betraying everything he stood for, all because of this! Grandfather hid the key for a reason.
Father kept it hidden, kept it secret.
You should just destroy this thing and be done with it.
That is not your decision to make.
It is my duty to protect Wakanda.
To do that, I must have the key.
[GROWLS.]
These outsiders have you confused.
Just let me take it.
I'll hide it where no one will ever find it again.
Hunter, I am the king.
I command you to return the key! So be it.
[YELLS.]
[YELLS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
Relinquish the key! [GRUNTS.]
Never! [BOTH GRUNTING.]
Never say "never.
" [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Now, Captain! - [BLOW LANDS.]
- [BOTH GRUNT.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[GRUNTING.]
[YELLS.]
[GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
The key, Hunter.
I will not ask again.
Ask all you want.
The answer is no! [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
You are not taking it! [BOTH GRUNTING.]
You'll thank me later.
You'll see! [GRUNTS.]
Stand down, son.
It's over.
T'Challa, please! You're my brother.
That is why I am giving you a chance to stop this madness.
Now, Hunter.
All right.
If that's how you want it.
[ALL GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[LAUGHS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Thanks for the save, Baron.
[GRUNTS.]
They're too far away.
What should we do? I don't really care what you do, Zemo.
You still don't trust me, do you, Captain? I'm glad we understand each other.
[BOTH GRUNT.]
Hunter, it is time to stop.
No! [GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Aah! [GRUNTS.]
Hunter, you can't do this.
I have to.
Shuri, someone has to save you from yourselves.
Please, see reason.
[GRUNTS.]
You're the ones who are blind.
[YELLS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[BEEPS.]
Get out of my way, Zemo.
I knocked you out once today.
I'll do it again.
And as much as I would relish the chance to beat you in fair combat, I am only the distraction.
[GRUNTS.]
Enough, Hunter! I have had enough! The key You never should've dug up the key.
It was an easy decision to leave it alone, and you blew it! - You think being a king is easy? - [GRUNTING.]
My choices have consequences! - Who survives.
Who falls.
- [GRUNTS.]
Aah! What is best of all of us.
[GRUNTS.]
- Everyone telling me what I should do! - [GRUNTING.]
What I should not do! Who I should be! How I should rule! Stay back.
This is my brother's fight.
This isn't about you! This is about our people! It's about Wakanda! - [GRUNTING.]
- You think I do not know that? Our people trust me to do what is right.
I will never betray that trust! I am their king! - Not the Avengers! - [GRUNTING.]
- Not my ministers! Not our sister! - [GROANS.]
- And not you! - [GRUNTS.]
Father wouldn't want this.
He would never have allowed enemies into Wakanda, - [HANDCUFFS CLICKING.]
- into the palace.
Please, Shuri.
You know me.
Talk some sense into our brother.
The only enemy T'Challa allowed into the palace was you, Hunter.
You can't be trusted.
I see that now.
Take him away.
Zemo! Look out.
He's [BEEPS.]
If anyone needs me, I will be in my room.
[CREAKING.]
[GRUNTING.]
White Wolf's antics damaged the palace, but his actions did not affect the search through my father's files, which is good, because we've discovered a piece of new information.
We have the key, and now we know what it unlocks the Shrouded Temple.
