Guardians of the Galaxy (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 22 - Holding Out for a Hero - full transcript

The Guardians have to team up with Loki to try to stop The Serpent before he uses the World Tree to destroy the universe.

Guardians of the Galaxy,

all of Asgard
stands in your debt this day.

For with your aid,
we defeated the Darkhawk invaders

and my corrupted brother,
the Serpent.

Tell me, Thor,
how is it

I specifically saved Father's
life from the Darkhawks,

yet I receive
no such appreciation?

You are a trickster,
Loki, not a hero.

But I helped!

As honorary Asgardians,
you shall receive new titles.

Peter Quill, you are hereby
dubbed Scoundrel Supreme,



for your untrustworthiness
rivals that of Loki himself.

- Hey!
- Hey!

Rocket,
you are hereby dubbed

Master of Combustion
and Explosion.

Mmm. Expensive.

I assume my new title
comes with a weapons upgrade.

Eh, I'll have to take it up
with the All-Father.

What? You upgraded those losers' weapons.
They didn't even ask!

Mm, uh, Drax,
I dub thee...

I am the All-Drax,
for there is no Drax before me!

Huh... zah...

I dub thee Lady Gamora,

Most Dangerous Woman in...

Eight of the Nine Realms.



Eight?

I am Groot?

Ah, but of course.

Who could forget Groot,
the Mighty?

I am Groot.

Guardians,
Asgard salutes you!

- Hmm?
- Mm... mm...

I am Groot.
I am Groot!

You're d'ast right
something's wrong.

I still don't got
a weapon upgrade.

I think it's
something worse.

Aye, Gamora.
Much worse.

The Serpent!
But we defeated you!

We got the medals
to prove it!

Your victory, like my brother
Odin's reign over Asgard,

is nothing but a lie!

Wait! We still keep
the medals, right?

Season 03 Episode 22
Title : "Holding Out For A Hero"

Hey, no fair crashing our...
Whoa!

Brother Odin, it is long past
time I took back this realm

and returned it to power
and glory.

You'll have to go through

the legions of Asgard first,
villain!

You would call me villain,
Thunder Bringer?

The World Tree knows your
father's betrayal and serves me.

Eh, serve this!

We took you down once, Serpie.
We can do it again.

Yield before Lady Gamora
and the All-Drax!

We're not really going
with those titles, are we?

Submit to me, brother.

Never!

Aah!

I banished your evil
once, and I shall do so again!

You forget, brother, I planted this
tree when it was but a sapling.

I feed on its power.

You corrupt its power!

It was never meant
to be a weapon!

It was meant
to enforce my rule!

'Tis not possible!

I will show you
what is possible.

Hold, Serpent!

Aah!

I will hold all of Asgard

In the grip of the World Tree,

which I control!

Uh, you know,
this is a family thing.

Maybe we should just,
you know, go.

We are Asgardians now.
We must fight.

Then you will perish!

I am Groot!

I am Grooooot!

I think we stopped.

I am Groot!

I am Groot.

This is not a joke!

Of course it is not.
If it was a joke, I would not be laughing,

because I do not
understand jokes.

Uh, okay, where are we?

The last place
you want to be.

Loki, what are
you doing here?

Mostly chafing,
after hitching a ride in your shrubbery.

I am Groot!

Many things chafe Drax.

That is why Drax
does not wear shirts.

I'll show you a chafing
if you don't tell us

why you let the Serpent
into Asgard!

Oh, please.
I'm not that foolish.

Oh, yeah?
Then how'd he get in?

I don't know.
I'm not that clever either.

What I do know is the Serpent
has joined with the World Tree.

And no place in Asgard is safe,
least of all this one.

Wait.
We're still in Asgard?

Verily.
The Forge of Asgard.

You mean, the Asgard Forge,

where all Asgardian weapons
are made?

Guys, this is where Thor's
famous nail-knocker comes from!

Shh!

You shush! This is a thing for me!

Can you imagine the weapons in there?

They're made of metal so
advanced, it may as well be magic!

I am Groot!

What? I don't hear
no stomping.

Good guy or bad guy?

Does it matter?

The stone giant both
fuels and defends the forge.

It's programmed
to destroy intruders.

Where are we
supposed to go?

Obviously,
we break into the forge,

steal a weapon... or, better yet,
build one... and defeat the Serpent.

And I suppose get your blaster
upgraded while we're in there?

I wouldn't say no to a much
deserved, long overdue upgrade.

Somebody's got blaster envy.

You need an Asgardian
to operate the forge,

and I'm much more interested in
surviving than weapon-smithing!

Farewell.

Vermin!

What sorcery is this?

A little something
I been tinkering with

called
a "teleportation anchor."

I will make you suffer endless
torment for this humiliation!

Yeah, you're gonna have to get in line for
that, horn-head. Meantime, you're with us.

This door is locked to me.

Trust me, I've tried.
We need another way!

I see one.
Follow me!

No! Wait!
The giant...

- Will never fit through there.
- Now shut up and move!

Ohh!

That's not why
I advised against it!

Remember when I told you
he also fuels the forge?

Move it, move it, move it!

Behold,
the Forge of Asgard.

We need to get up there,
where the good stuff is.

Let's get one thing
straight, rodent.

I am not trudging
through this entire foundry

just so you can drool
all over some Uru swords.

Fine. Suit yourself.

Wait for me!

Aah! Drax is chafing!

Which you wouldn't be
if you wore a shirt.

How's that for irony?

Uh, guys?

I've got this.

Well done,
daughter of Thanos.

Yeah, thanks
for giving it armor!

No way out.

Then we go up.

What are you gonna do now,
rock head?

Ugh! You had to ask.

Yes! Upgraded Element Blaster!

Ha-ha!

Okay, now you're just
rubbing it in.

Do not rub it on Drax.

I will be chafed no more
this day.

We made it.
The promised land!

Ahh...

I am Groot!

No, don't touch!

Only I may touch.

Which one of these weapons can
we use to defeat the Serpent?

Precisely none.

I've told you,
you cannot win.

Well, not with that
krutack attitude.

I am not a hero,
as my brother has said repeatedly.

I am a trickster.

You know
you can be both, right?

We do it all the time.

And if you save Asgard,
think how you could

rub it in your father
and brother's faces... forever.

Hmm? Forever
is a long time.

All right, so what's it gonna
take to slap down your uncle?

Nothing in this chamber.

Perhaps nothing
in all the Nine Realms.

What if we
don't defeat him?

What if we just
contain him?

The Serpent was banished before,
so it is possible, theoretically.

I know you
can make shackles,

and I know just the enchantment
to make them nigh-unbreakable.

Trick is, getting them
on dear old Uncle.

Leave that to me.

Groot, fire up the forge!

I am Groot!

♪♪

♪♪

Did you put
a sword on that?

No!

I put two swords on it!

Mm-hmm.

Now all we have to do
is get topside.

Verily.

Let's just
hope we're not too late.

I will never surrender,
brother.

Nor will I!

Then you will perish!

The World Tree's making
the Serpent too powerful.

Look, we'll lure him away from it,
then Rocket and Loki can shackle him.

Who dares?

That would be us.

Now, my son!

Aah!

This better flargin' work.

Fools!

We prefer "tricksters."

Aah!

Aahh!

It's holding!
We got him!

I saved Asgard! Me!

You had some help,
brother.

Submit, brother!
Your evil heart has failed you.

Your weak heart
has failed you, brother.

You lack the will to rule,
to conquer!

Well, that's bad.

Father. No!

Let the Nine Realms proclaim:

the Serpent rules Asgard!

Asgard belongs
to the Serpent now!

You have fought valiantly.

You are worthy
of serving at my side.

We'll never join you!

He was not
talking to us.

I just figured that out!

Fight beside me,
Odin-son.

Never! You would corrupt
all that Asgard stands for!

Asgard is merely the beginning.

I will use the Bifrost
as it was intended...

A tool for conquest.

The World Tree will expand through
the other realms of the universe,

pulling their power back here!

I will not allow you
to steal the lives

of every world
as you have your own,

nor the life
of my father!

Then you will share his fate.

Hey,
we're all in a sharing mood!

Upgraded Element Blaster.
What are you gonna do?

Guardians, to me!

We must free the All-Father!

'Tis too late, brother!

Father is lost!
Save yourself!

I expect cowardice
from you, Loki,

but the Guardians
will join me.

Actually, Loki's right.
This is a losing fight.

We can't beat that old man
and his tree.

That sounds really lame
out loud.

Aaahhh!

Get to the Bifrost!

I will hold
the Serpent back.

What's wrong?

He didn't try
to stop our escape.

Eh, Serpie's got bigger
thunder bringers to fry.

Come on.

Heimdall,
Asgard has fallen.

Why didn't you spot the Serpent
coming with your all-sight?

I did.

Heimdall, wait.
Loki had nothing to do

with sneaking
the Serpent in.

Possibly.

Just for the record,
we had nothing to do with it either.

I am Groot!

You were supposed to protect
the Bifrost, Heimdall!

He's been doppel-Hawked!

Now we know how
the Serpent got into Asgard.

Feel free to apologize
for accusing me of it.

Anytime.

Lucky for you all,
I brought a sword to this sword fight.

Aw! That thing
shoots swords?

Why, yes. Yes, it does.

Now who's got
blaster envy?

Huh?

Quickly!
We must protect the Bifrost!

Thor? Thor!

We can't let the Serpent
get to the Bifrost.

He'll destroy
the whole galaxy!

There's too many branches!

Submit, Thunder Bringer.

Bow to me!

We may not defeat you now,

but we will stop
your evil from spreading!

No!

Guardians,
finish what I have begun!

You heard the man!
Take out the bridge!

I am Groo-ooot.

Ugh. Now I know how
my socks feel in the dryer.

I'm all that's left
of Asgard now.

I am alone
in the universe.

So were we,
until we found each other.

You're with
the Guardians now.

And I thought this day
couldn't get any worse.
