Avengers: United They Stand (1999–2000): Season 1, Episode 1 - Avengers Assemble Part-one - full transcript

NEW LIFE FOR A NEW WORLD,

NOT THAT THIS PATHETIC WORLD OF
HUMANS DESERVES YOU, MY VISION.

NO MORE THAN IT DESERVES ME --
ULTRON.

NOW FOR THE FINISHING TOUCHES.

AND LIKE YOUR CREATOR, ULTRON,

YOU ARE PERFECT.

A LIVING MACHINE,
VIRTUALLY IMMORTAL,

MY GREATEST CREATION.

VISION, YOU SHALL HELP ME

PURGE THE WORLD
OF WRETCHED HUMANITY --

WEAK, CORRUPT FLESH BEINGS



WITH THEIR ILLOGICAL EMOTIONS.

ONLY ONE MAN
UNDERSTANDS WHO WE ARE,

AND ONLY HE CAN STOP US --

HENRY PYM...

...THE LEADER OF THE AVENGERS.

HE SHALL BE THE FIRST TO PERISH.

CENTRAL PARK IS BRACING FOR
A CROWD OF WELL-WISHERS TODAY

WHEN THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES

WILL PRESENT
A SPECIAL COMMENDATION

TO THE MANHATTAN-BASED
CRIME-FIGHTING TEAM

THE AVENGERS.

LED BY SHAPESHIFTING SUPERHERO
ANT-MAN,

THE AVENGERS ARE LOVED
AND RESPECTED AROUND THE WORLD

FOR THEIR WORK AGAINST
INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM



AND CRIMES OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

ENJOYING THE ATTENTION,
DEAREST?

NO. NO, NOT REALLY.

I'VE ALWAYS
THOUGHT IT BETTER

THAT THE AVENGERS
AVOID THE SPOTLIGHT,

BUT IT'S HARD TO SAY NO
TO THE PRESIDENT.

HONESTLY, HANK,
IT'S HARDER TO SAY NO TO ME,

AND I SAY WE'RE GOING.

OF COURSE, JAN.

YOU DESERVE TODAY.
SO DO THE OTHERS.

SOMEHOW, I'M JUST NOT SURE
I'M THE ONE TO LEAD YOU.

HANK, WHAT IN THE WORLD
DO YOU MEAN?

I'M NOT EXACTLY
CAPTAIN AMERICA

OR THOR OR IRON MAN,
NOW, AM I?

WELL, NONE OF THEM
IS DR. HENRY PYM,

WORLD'S GREATEST
BIOCHEMIST.

HANK, WE HELPED
FORM THE AVENGERS,

AND DON'T YOU FORGET THAT.

YOU ARE AS QUALIFIED TO LEAD US
AS ANYONE.

NOW HEX MY ATTACK.

WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!

I WARNED YOU,
DEAR SIMON!

WHEN I CHANGE THE PROBABILITIES
AFFECTING SOMETHING,

THE WORLD GOES
A LITTLE BIT CRAZY.

I'M NEVER SURE
WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

OKAY, OKAY.

THAT'S WHY I NEED TO HELP YOU
PRACTICE YOUR CONTROL --

EVEN IF IT KILLS ME.

SIMON, YOU'RE SO NICE.

YOU LOOK AFTER ME
LIKE NO ONE ELSE.

WHAT WOULD I DO
WITHOUT YOU?

HEY, HAWKEYE,
I WANTED A REAL WORKOUT.

TIGRA,
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?

HA HA!

NOW, READY TO MEET
THE PRESIDENT?

I JUST HOPE HE'S READY
TO MEET US.

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!

COMPUTER, IDENTIFY
SOURCE OF DISTURBANCE.

LOCATION -- 112th AND LENOX.

THAT'S THE PRESIDENT'S
CHOPPER!

WHERE DID THOSE WEAPONS
COME FROM?

I KNOW THIS IS NEW YORK,
BUT COME ON!

AVENGERS, LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
GOING TO MEET THE PRESIDENT

SOONER THAN WE THOUGHT.

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!

CENTRAL PARK NORTH,
SUBSONIC.

ACKNOWLEDGED.

HAVE THE AVENGERS
TAKEN THE BAIT?

NOT YET, MY CREATOR.

THEN PRESS HARD.

WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE TARGET
VEHICLE TO ESCAPE.

NO!

SOMEBODY PICKED THE WRONG
NEIGHBORHOOD TO SHOOT UP.

COME ON, RED WING!

BRING THEM DOWN.

PRIMARY TARGET ANT-MAN
HAS ARRIVED.

ISOLATE AND DESTROY.

INITIAL ATTACK
NEUTRALIZED.

HERE WE GO.

HAWKEYE, WONDER MAN,
TIGRA, SCARLET WITCH --

DROP-AND-GO MANEUVER 12.

EXECUTE!

OPEN 'ER UP.

YAH!

THANKS, WHOEVER YOU ARE.

THIS WAY,
MR. PRESIDENT!

BRING THEM DOWN.

HAWKEYE, PROTECT THE PRESIDENT!

GET DOWN,
MR. PRESIDENT!

PRIMARY TARGET ANT-MAN.

MY ARROW
DIDN'T MAKE A DENT!

GOT YOU COVERED, HAWK.

W- WHERE'D THAT GUY GO?

WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!

NO, YOU DON'T.

TAKE THIS!

TIME FOR A TUNE-UP.

THERE YOU GO,
MR. PRESIDENT.

WHO'S THE BIRD GUY,
ANYWAY?

MISSION PARAMETERS
HAVE CHANGED.

DESTRUCTION OF ANT-MAN
IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS TIME.

ABORT, MY VISION.

RETURN TO BASE NOW.

WHERE'S HAWKEYE?

HERE, LAB RAT.

SOMETHING FOR YOU
TO PLAY WITH.

HAWKEYE, I TOLD YOU
TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT.

I DID!

THEN I TOOK ON MR. BRIGHT EYES
TO SAVE YOUR JET.

LEAVING YOUR POST
GOT THE PRESIDENT HURT.

HE AND HIS DAUGHTER
COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

SORRY.

THAT'S NOT FAIR!

THE GOVERNMENT GIVES
THE AVENGERS A FREE HAND

AND EXPECTS THEM
TO PRODUCE RESULTS.

IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT,
MAYBE WE'LL HAVE TO STEP IN.

WE CAN'T HAVE A BUNCH
OF LOOSE CANNONS

ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC
OR THE PRESIDENT!

EXCUSE ME, MR. SIKORSKY,

BUT THE AVENGERS HAVE SAVED
MORE LIVES THAN YOU CAN COUNT.

YOUR BOSS AND HIS KID
WOULD BE SQUIRREL FOOD

IF WE HADN'T BEEN THERE.

THE PRESIDENT
DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY,

OUT OF HIS ONE GOOD EYE.

WHAT I SEE HERE
IS A TEAM OF HOTSHOTS

HAVING A FIRE FIGHT
IN CENTRAL PARK

WHILE THIS GUY FALCON
SAVED THE PRESIDENT!

YEAH. HE GOT LUCKY.

BIRD BOY'S STRICTLY LOCAL,
AND YOU KNOW IT!

THE AVENGERS GO ANYWHERE,
ANYTIME,

AND CAN HANDLE ANYTHING.

LIKE YOU DID TODAY?
NO, THANKS.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
TALKING TO US LIKE THAT?

WE'RE THE AVENGERS,
IN CASE YOU FORGOT.

MR. SIKORSKY, WHAT EXACTLY
DOES THE PRESIDENT WANT?

TWO THINGS --

HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE
THAT GUY'S FACE AGAIN,

AND HE WANTS THE AVENGERS
TO FIND THE FALCON

AND MAKE THE GUY
PART OF YOUR TEAM.

WE CHOOSE
OUR OWN MEMBERS HERE.

FINE.

THEN I'VE BEEN AUTHORIZED
TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE FULL FORCE
OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

WILL BE USED
TO MAKE YOUR LIVES MISERABLE!

YEAH.

CONGRATULATIONS.
HERE'S YOUR PLAQUE.

WHAT A JERK!

I DON'T AGREE WITH IT,
BUT, FOR THE GOOD OF THE TEAM,

HAWKEYE WILL HAVE TO
LAY LOW FOR A TIME.

WHAT?! THAT'S NOT FAIR.

NO! YOU CANNOT DO THAT
TO HAWKEYE!

SO I'M THE FALL GUY,
RIGHT?

CLINT, CALM DOWN.

WHY?

IF I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH
TO BE SEEN WITH THE AVENGERS,

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE
AN AVENGER.

HAWKEYE!

HEY,
HAWKEYE --

LET ME TALK TO HIM.

CLINT. CLINT!

LISTEN, DON'T DO THIS, MAN.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH.

YOU THINK I SHOULD
CRAWL AWAY AND HIDE.

HANK HAD TO MAKE A CALL.

SIMON...

YOU'RE THE ONLY REAL FRIEND
I'VE EVER HAD,

SO YOU KNOW WHY I...

I GOT TO GO.

IF NO ONE THINKS
MR. SIKORSKY WILL OBJECT,

I'M GOING TO GO SEE
WHAT CLINT SAID TO SIMON.

I BEG YOUR PARDON,
DR. PYM,

BUT THEY WERE STARTING
TO LEAK ON THE CARPET.

IN THE LAB WITH THE OTHERS,
JARVIS.

VERY GOOD, SIR.

NOW, WHAT ABOUT
THAT FEATHERED FELLOW,

THE ONE SIKORSKY WANTED US
TO CONTACT?

WE FIND HIM.

I'M ON IT, HANK.

BIRD-MAN SAVED MY LIFE.
I LIKE THAT IN A FELLA.

THANK YOU, GREER.

THAT'LL GIVE ME TIME TO TAKE
A LOOK AT WHAT ATTACKED US.

ENGAGE CONTAINMENT FIELD.

LET'S SEE
WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST.

JAN?

JAN, THERE'S A PROBLEM!

I CAN SEE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WE SCANNED THIS THING
FOR SELF-DESTRUCT TRAPS!

GET OUT, HANK!
GET OUT NOW!

JANET, I CAN HANDLE THIS.
SEAL THE BLAST DOORS ON THE LAB.

HANK, PLEASE!

DO IT! GO!

YOUR FIRST DAY WENT WELL,
MY VISION.

BUT ANT-MAN LIVES.

MY PLANS DID NOT ANTICIPATE
THE FALCON.

FUTURE PLANS WILL.

THE AVENGERS
ARE A FORMIDABLE TEAM.

TOGETHER THEY ARE STRONG,

BUT WHEN SEPARATED...

THEY ARE VULNERABLE.

NO, VISION.

I PREFER...

DESTROYED.

ANT-MAN WILL BE OCCUPIED
WITH THE DAMAGED DRONE,

AS I KNEW HE'D BE.

THROUGH ITS SENSORS,

I'VE BEEN ABLE TO ASCERTAIN
CERTAIN WEAKNESSES

IN THE MANSION'S
BORDER DEFENSES.

WHILE I DRAW
THE OTHER AVENGERS OUT,

YOU WILL HAVE DR. PYM
ALL TO YOURSELF,

AND PHASE 2 OF MY PLAN
WILL BEGIN.

THAT'S WEIRD.

ALL THOSE BUSES AND NO RIDERS.

ANDREW!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I-I-I THINK SO.

OF COURSE -- THE BUSES.

HANG ON!

JAN, SHUT OFF THAT ALARM!

I SAID I COULD
HANDLE THIS MYSELF.

IT'S NOT YOU, HANK.

THE COMPUTER HAS PICKED UP
MORE OF THOSE GLOBES

ATTACKING
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

THEN TAKE THE TEAM
AND GO.

BUT, HANK --

IF I DON'T
DISARM THIS THING,

IT COULD TAKE OUT
THE WHOLE MANSION.

NOW GO! PLEASE!

STAY HERE.

BUT, UNCLE, I --

ANDREW, DO IT!

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

NO!

U- UNCLE SAM, YOU'RE OKAY!

YOU GOT TO BE!

ANDREW!

ANDREW.

TOLD YOU TO STAY BACK.

JUST LIKE THIS MORNING,
BUT THE PRESIDENT'S NOT HERE.

WHAT'S THEIR TARGET?

WHERE'S YOUR PAL
WITH THE SHINY EYES?

THEY'VE STOPPED ATTACKING.

SOMEONE WENT TO A LOT OF TROUBLE
TO GET OUR ATTENTION.

THIS WAS ALMOST
TOO EASY.

SOMETHING
DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.

THEY DRAW ALL OF US HERE
AND THEN STOP THE FIGHT?

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

NO, NOT ALL OF US.

ANT-MAN! WE LEFT HIM ALONE
AT THE MANSION!

MANSION
SECURITY BREACH, LEVEL 3.

REPEAT -- MANSION SECURITY
BREACH, LEVEL 3.

THE MANSION ALARM!
IT'S UNDER ATTACK!

IT'S BRIGHT EYES AGAIN.

HE'S AFTER HANK!
HANK, LOOK OUT!

WHERE?

SIMON! SIMON! NO!

AUTO SELF-DESTRUCT
IN 3...2...1.
