Avengers Assemble (2013–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - Shadow of Atlantis: Part One - full transcript

Black Panther and the Avengers are called upon to defend New York City from an invasion of monsters.

ENJOY!!!! Do not
miss this tomorrow!

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Whee!

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.

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.

Shuri, these are my
compatriots, the Avengers.

I'm very pleased
to meet you all.

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?

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!

Black Panther!

T'Challa! How does
he expect to get...

Never mind. Let's go.

Okay, people. You
know the drill.

Protect civilians,
stop bad guys.

Aah!

Anybody got an ID on these guys?

Atlanteans, forward!

People of the surface,

I am Tiger Shark of Atlantis,

and this city belongs to me!

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...

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!

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!

Ah-ah-ah!

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...

Nope.

Nope, nope, nope, nope,
nope, nope, nope.

Bad sharky!

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!

Keep him off me.

I need to do some quick repairs.

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.

You're only the first to fall.

All of the surface world

will kneel before Tiger Shark!

So, you think now's a good time
to tell me your favorite color?

Keep the pressure on.
We're pushing them back.

I do prefer throwing, Captain,
but, yes, we are winning the day!

Er, night!

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!

So, reroute from
tier six and three.

No? All right.

Uh, connect auxiliaries at
junction Beta 4-5, and...

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...

One!

Hey, guys, how was the swim?

Welcome back. We can
use the extra hands.

It seems you've contained
the battle to the bridge.

Mostly.

If we win here, the
fight is over.

It is not over until
Tiger Shark is defeated.

Call a halt, villain.
Your war ends here.

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!

Everyone, back!

Well, that was awful.

You have no idea what's coming.

None of you!

Aah! What was that thing?

Honestly, I was kind
of expecting more.

I mean, don't get me wrong.
It was bad, but...

The Horn of Neptune is not
the danger, Ms. Marvel.

The danger is in what it calls.

What does it call?

That.

Down, beast!

Yield! Yield!

I don't think it's listening.

Then we turn up the volume.

This isn't working!

T'Challa, duck!

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?

Awesome!

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.

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.

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?

He is most powerful in water.

It does not make sense he'd
move away from the river.

Unless...

Unless...

Unless what? Finish
your sentences!

Away, vile creature!

You shall not have this bridge!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Aah!

Fool.

Water is my element.

Did you think you could
face me here alone?

Who told you that I was alone?

Aah!

Have you learned nothing?

I have the Horn of Neptune!

Sorry.

We already heard that song.

No dice, fella.

We really can't let
you have that.

It is over, Tiger Shark.

Surrender.

You think you've won?

You've won nothing!

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!

Guys?

Easy, Muscles. We did good out
here, but let's not get cocky.

Guys, look!

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.

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.

High and low, just
like in training.

If I have to smell

this thing much longer,
I'm gonna barf!

Ugh!

Captain Marvel!

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.

Your arc reactor is not enough!

I know. We have to
go with plan B.

Right. Tap the
city's energy grid.

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?

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.

Fair enough.

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...

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.

Shuri did it! We're
at 150 percent.

Yes, yes. Wakandan
technology is fantastic.

Blow the horn!

Yeah! And stay out!

Avengers, the bridge is clear.

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.

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!
