Avengers: United They Stand (1999–2000): Season 1, Episode 3 - Kang - full transcript
The Avengers battle Kang the Conqueror, a time-traveler attempting to take over the world.
Hey, chris,
thanks for the personal tour.
Going to egypt has got to be
so cool, Dr. Johnson.
Yes, andrew, especially
when we make discoveries
like we did last month.
We found a site that hadn't
been touched in 3,000 years.
Whoa!
Dr. Johnson, you found
all this at that new site?
No, andrew.
We found this statue buried
nearly a thousand miles away,
but all the markings match
everything from the new site.
Whoa!
Care to do the honors,
andrew?
You sure about this?
Andrew is my buddy,
right, andrew?
How's that?
Just perfect.
What's that sound?
Probably
the air conditioning.
[ Eerie laughter ]
Uncle sam!
Andrew!
Chris, get andrew
out of here now!
Aren't you coming?
I'm just going
to call the police.
Please get andrew out!
Avengers,
we need to assemble.
Free!
I am free
to find my obelisk
and conquer those
who dared to imprison me.
FALCON: What's happening?
It's like that thing's
stopping time.
Subsonic!
computerized VOICE:
Acknowledged.
With my obelisk, no one
can oppose my conquest of time.
Which moment
in history is this?
Which time
will bear witness
to my glorious return?
Ant MAN:
Full alert, avengers!
Falcon's in there.
Yo, ant man, hawkeye...
...you seeing what I'm seeing?
- I'm seeing, tigra.
I'm just not believing.
Hey, guys,
switch to visual.
FALCON: I've got
an alien device.
It stops everything,
like it's freezing time.
Freezing time?
Ant MAN: Tigra, hawkeye,
go low, deploy pattern zeta.
We'll take it
from the top.
Hiya, falcon.
Can we play?
Heads up!
Hey, I just washed
that thing.
The up-double-a!
Go, go!
That's "up"!
And that's "double-a"!
Who dares interfere
with my temporal tracker?
Ant MAN: We do.
We're --
I know who you are,
ant man.
You were called
the avengers,
and I suppose this is some time
in the 21st century.
History remembered
you well.
Unless you wish
to change that, stand clear.
Who are you?
That is none
of your concern.
I will follow.
Vision!
Be careful!
FALCON: Ant man,
we're clear down here.
Ant MAN:
Not for long --
someone's coming your way,
and he's after something.
Think he wants
this thing back?
No, that's only
his bloodhound.
I know what he's looking for.
Buy me a few minutes.
I'll meet you
at the mansion.
TIGRA: We're on it.
Excuse me, but the entrance
is over there.
And you forgot
to pay admission.
He's got some kind
of force field.
Let's shut it down.
Avengers,
on my command...
Fire!
HAWKEYE:
Didn't make a dent!
[ Evil laughter ]
You would oppose
kang the conqueror?
Ha ha ha ha!
Fools!
Let's get you
someplace safe.
What have you done
with my obelisk?
I can no longer
track it!
Hear me well, avengers.
Bring me my obelisk
or prepare
to see catastrophe
unlike you or your time
can imagine!
Ant MAN: Unbelievable!
We're looking
at transdimensional
chronographic distortion.
You know,
time manipulation.
This device actually
froze time.
C- can you do that?
Not in this century.
What's that mean?
It means kang comes
from the future.
We have no idea
how dangerous he is.
KANG: People of New York,
look upon the face
of your future.
I am kang the conqueror --
ruler of
the 41st century earth.
Know that your mighty avengers
have taken what is mine.
What was that?
Until they return it,
you will suffer!
He has a bomb!
Tigra, vision,
go out and execute
containment maneuver number 12.
[ Sinister laughter ]
With my obelisk,
no one can oppose
my conquest of time!
Tigra and vision
are out there! No!
VISION: Avengers,
we require assistance.
Tigra?
[ Breathing heavily ]
Hey, guys...
Guess I forgot
my sunscreen.
KANG: Avengers,
what have you done
with my obelisk?
Bring me my obelisk!
The obelisk may be
our only way
of undoing
what kang did...
If I can unlock
its secrets.
I have studied
kang's force field,
and I have
helpful new data.
The more energy he expends
to maintain the force field,
the weaker he becomes.
HAWKEYE: So we just have
to turn up the heat.
[ Sinister laughter ]
My obelisk...
It is near.
WASP: Henry, please,
just be careful.
I know, I know, jan.
Anything I do
to this obelisk
may trip some signal
and alert kang.
Well, I'll work
as quickly as I can.
It's kang!
He's heading this way!
Hold him off
as long as you can!
Avengers, assemble!
Not without me.
Ant MAN: Mansion security,
activate mansion defenses.
computerized VOICE:
Defense systems activated.
Avengers log,
entry 93.
Subject -- transdimensional
time manipulation.
The electrical impulses
inside the obelisk
appear to mimic
the human brain,
but they're
far more powerful.
Tapping into them
like this,
well, I don't know
if I can take it,
but I don't
have a choice.
Kang is breaking through
our defenses.
I can only hope that I can learn
from the obelisk
and not be destroyed by it.
I- i see images.
Ohh, the strain is intense!
Ahh, my brain...
It's being torn apart!
Voices...inside my mind.
Ahh-h-h!
They tell of the far future.
Ant MAN: Ugh!
Kang rules the earth
with an iron fist,
enslaving billions!
There's an uprising
against his tyranny.
Let he who challenges kang
feel my wrath!
[ Painful grunting ]
No! No!
ant MAN:
Kang is defeated,
and he is entombed
between dimensions.
KANG: You would oppose kang?
You will suffer!
WASP: Keep firing!
He's weakening!
Ant MAN: Kang is defeated!
The scientists of kang's era
set up a temporal prison...
To prevent his return
to his own time.
The obelisk is the one thing
that can open the barriers,
so they hide it...
Sending it back in time
to ancient egypt.
It's lost to history
until discovered months ago
by archaeologists
and sent here to New York.
Ant MAN: Somehow kang escaped.
[ Grunting ]
We have to stop him,
or we're all...dead.
computerized VOICE: Warning!
Defense systems will fail.
Scarlet WITCH: He has breached
the mansion walls!
WASP: Scarlet witch, now!
I will not be reduced
by your magic.
Winds of destiny...
Ahh!
[ Grunts ]
I'm not hurt.
His strength
is weakening.
Uhh!
Insolent primitive!
FALCON: It's time
for some payback.
Ahh!
FALCON: Ohh!
Ohh! Ohh! Ahh!
Where is she, kang?
She's trapped,
as I had been.
KANG: The time for talk
is over. Act now!
Clint, fire!
Stop him!
Release her.
Lower your bow, hawkeye.
I know all about you, kang.
You've destroyed
millions of lives and --
and terrorized
billions more.
You stole man's future
and turned paradise
into purgatory.
And if I give this
back to you,
it will all happen again.
I need no history lesson
from you.
Your choice is simple --
the obelisk or the female.
Enough! Let her go.
You win, kang.
Henry, no!
Please, you mustn't.
As master of time,
I always win.
You're talking
about letting him
enslave millions
of people.
Yes, millions
that I'll never know,
but jan's my wife.
She's real.
Just because you won't
hear those cries
or see their tears
doesn't mean those
millions aren't real.
You said the avengers
defend humanity
wherever and whenever.
As a scientist,
I live by logic.
Love isn't logical.
Forgive me.
Henry, please.
If you care about me,
don't do this.
Think about the future.
Do not do this!
For your cooperation,
I'll be merciful.
I'll conquer
this century last.
[ Shouting ] henry,
what have you done?
Ahh!
Something's wrong!
This -- something wrong
inside me!
It's tearing me apart.
No, no!
You...
You puny ant!
You altered the obelisk!
But your primitive mind
could never understand it.
Ahh!
Vision, why don't you escort
kang and the obelisk
to, oh, about 1,500 feet?
Detonation there should reverse
the aging effect
and send kang back
to his temporal prison
in between dimensions.
With the obelisk destroyed,
kang should be there...
Forever.
FALCON: Hank, two thumbs up
for what you did
for tigra and everyone.
Ahh!
Falcon,
we all did it.
And for that,
I'm grateful.
Henry, even though
I was angry
when I thought you were
sacrificing millions to save me,
I should have realized
it was your plan to defeat kang.
And I am sure
the rest of New York
is also grateful.
I know I am.
Gray just isn't my color.
You figured out how
to reverse the aging bomb
and put kang on ice.
Ant man, I'd say you earned
your pay today.
Just one thing, hank.
What would you have done
if your plan hadn't worked?
You know, falcon,
that idea never even
occurred to me.
thanks for the personal tour.
