05x11 - The Lost Temple

[GRUNTS]

This country is nothing
but trees and vines.

How can we ever find the Shrouded
Temple if it's hidden in all this...

Aah!
[GRUNTS]

See? This is what happens
when you wander off, Zemo.

Next time, stay with the tour.

As usual, Captain America,
your humor is elusive.

Hmph. I've got
my eyes on you.

- T'Challa may trust you, but...
- Enough.

The Black Panther does trust me.
This is all that matters.

[BLACK PANTHER]
Trust may be an overstatement.

Let us say our goals coincide.

Our goal is finding
the Shrouded Temple

and unlocking it
with the Panther's Key.

Yet all we have done is wander
aimlessly in this jungle.

For what?

This statue is a marker.
We are close. Shuri?

There's a network of power grids and surge
blocks under this part of the forest.

I'd say very close.

I hate when he does that.

We have found something.

This must be the hidden temple.

Be ready, all of you.

There will be security measures
in place.

[BARON ZEMO] These, uh, "security
measures," Black Panther...

what exactly are they?

[RUMBLING]

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

[CAPTAIN AMERICA] Whatever
they are, here they come!

[PANTHERS GROWLING]

[BOTH GRUNT]

[ROARS]

[YELLS]

Wait. I've seen these.

Princess, look out!

[ROARING]

[GRUNTING]

T'Challa, these things
seem to be based

on third generation
robotics designs.

[GRUNTS]

Understood.

[GRUNTING]

The power cell... disable it.

Got it. Thanks.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Just breaking them
works fine too.

It's a design flaw.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS] We don't make
them like this anymore.

[ROARS]

[GRUNTS]

- Zemo!
- [RUMBLING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

Is everybody all right?

[GROWLING]

[BLACK PANTHER, SHURI GRUNT]

Uh, no. No,
I don't think we are.

[GROWLING]

[ROARS]

[GROWLS, ROARS]

Princess, look out!

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

This one has no power cell!

There has to be another way
to shut it down.

[GRUNTS]

Sure. But I don't see where...

[GRUNTING]

[BARON ZEMO]
Get down, Captain!

[GROWLING]

[SIGHS] Thank you.

You are welcome.
But we're still at its mercy.

T'Challa!

- [GRUNTING]
- [GROWLING]

[BLACK PANTHER] Of course!
The Panther's Key!

- [GROWLING]
- Aah!

[ROARS]

[GRUNTS]

Shuri! The key!

[GRUNTS]

[GROWLING]

T'Challa!

[BLACK PANTHER GRUNTS]

I am well, sister.
No need to shout.

[ROARS]

I think that means
we're invited.

Impressive.

In a dusty,
old-school kind of way.

Your people built all this
only to bury it in the jungle.

Huh. Such a waste.

What do you make of those dots?
Some kind of warning?

I do not think so, Captain.

[BLACK PANTHER]
Stars. They are stars.

T'Challa, I don't think
this is a temple.

It feels more like...
an observatory?

Your are right.
This is not the Shrouded Temple.

But perhaps somewhat more
than an observatory.

What do you think? Any idea of
what this old stuff might do?

It is hard to say.

While our forebears were advanced for
their time, everything here is...

Old. Everything here is old.

Yet according to my scans,
this is an elevator.

That's strange.
I'm not reading any sublevels.

None of you find this
all a bit convenient?

This is precisely the sort of lure
I would use to trap an enemy.

[GROWLS]

You may stay here
if you wish, Zemo.

Alone. In the jungle.

Very well.
If you insist.

[DIGITAL ZAP]

And now?
Is something meant to happen?

[SHURI] I was right.
It is an elevator.

[BARON ZEMO] To doom us
in the depths of space!

We... [GRUNTS]

[CAPTAIN AMERICA] Just how long
has Wakanda had space travel?

Quite a long time, Captain.

Your grandfather and I
weren't close,

but you'd think he would've
mentioned something about this.

The kings and queens of Wakanda
are bound to keep its secrets.

[CAPTAIN AMERICA] Looks like your
grandfather kept his fair share.

Indeed, Captain. Indeed.

And that can only be
the Shrouded Temple.

[CAPTAIN AMERICA]
We found it.

We actually found it.

We did.

So why don't I have
a good feeling about this?

[COMPUTER CHIMES]

[COMPUTER CHIMES]

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

- [MALE VOICE] Intruders.
- [ALARM BLARING]

Engage primary defense.

I am T'Challa, King of Wakanda.
Accept Royal Authority.

Will that work?

It better.

We're sitting ducks out here.

Royal Authority accepted.
[BEEP]

Is that... Grandfather?

Welcome, King of Wakanda.

T'Chanda?!

He looks the same
as he did in the ' s.

[SHURI] It's the interface
for temple security.

T'Challa, the system only responds
to the ruler of Wakanda... you.

Why are you here?

We seek knowledge.

Why was this temple constructed?

What is its purpose?

Come.

There are many
dangerous objects on Earth.


Artifacts of terrible power.

Our ancestors realized they
must be kept hidden from those


who would use
those powers for evil.


Beyond this door is the most
dangerous artifact of all.


It is the reason
the temple was built.


We call it, simply, the Crown.

"The Crown"? T'Challa,
what is he talking about?

- [CLICKING]
- I believe we are about to find out.

This is disappointing,
I must say.

Your people built all this
to contain a single crown?

Hang on. Wait.

I've seen this box before.

When I was with
your grandfather.

What's inside it?

[CAPTAIN AMERICA]
I don't know. We thought...

I thought it was destroyed.

T'Chanda had his reasons for
placing the Crown on this vessel.

I think we should obey those
reasons and leave it where it is.

I'm with the Princess.

The temple is secret.
It's secure.

It was nearly impossible
to get here, even for us.

No one else will find it.

We cannot know that.

Killmonger had access
to many secrets.

We must assume the Shadow
Council shares... [expl*si*n]

That's plasma fire!
We're under att*ck!

What about the Crown?

Leave it.
It's safest here.

Right, T'Challa?

For now.

- [PLASMA FIRE BLAST]
- What?

- We need to get back to the...
- No! Stop!

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

Aahh!

[GRUNTING]

[SHURI] T'Challa! T'Challa, talk to me!
Are you all right?


[GRUNTS]

I am unharmed.

I have enough oxygen for several minutes.
What about you?

- [BOTH GRUNT]
- [YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

The a*t*matic safety systems
have engaged.

We should be fine.

[GRUNTS]

What was that?
What happened?

[MAN] I happened, T'Challa.

[BLACK PANTHER] Killmonger!
This att*ck is your doing!

As always, I am a step ahead.

Thank you for leading us
to the Shrouded Temple.

And here's our Dr. Frost.

All done wrapping up the big
surprise, eh, Whitney girl?

[LAUGHING]

[STRAINING]

Don't call me that.

My name is Madame Masque.

Not Frost. Not Whitney.

Not "girl."
Understand?

[GRUNTING]

I'm sure he does.

Release him.

[GRUNTS]

[GASPING]

[KILLMONGER]
Focus, both of you.

[GROWLS, GRUNTS]

You are not permitted
to enter the temple, traitor.

I don't need your permission.

But don't worry.

I've left you a surprise
to enjoy.

[GRUNTING]

[YELLING]

The Shadow Council's attacking.

How did they find us?

We have another problem.

Those blasts knocked us
out of orbit.

Earth's gravity has us.
We are crashing!

The temple must have
a manual control station.

- We need...
- [KILLMONGER] To be given

a hearty "thank you."

[GRUNTS]

Killmonger!

Indeed. Madame Masque,
if you please.

Traitor! What have you
done with T'Challa?

Nothing, Princess. Only
left him a small surprise.

Now, stand aside
if you want to live.

Aah!

Move, people! We can't let
them take the temple!

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Going somewhere, Cat King?

Tiger Shark!
[STRAINING]

Surprise!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Is this your best effort?

Perhaps your fighting prowess
is overrated. [GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

Anybody ever tell you
you talk too much?

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

You're Whitney Frost.
My brother told me about you.

My name is Madame Masque.

You're some kind of... mechanic
or something, right?

Mechanic? Mechanic?!

[GRUNTING]

Got you on the run now, Zemo!

Looks like you backed
the wrong horse.


[BOTH GRUNTING]

You will never have the
Crown, you ridiculous fool!

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Aah!

[BLOWS]

I beg to differ, Mr. Zemo.

[STRAINING] Yes, Black Panther, fight!

The more you struggle,
the more air you use.

You are right.
But we are close enough now.

[BOTH GRUNT]

[YELLS]

[STRAINING]

What is this?
What are you doing?

- I am hacking your propulsion system.
- [STRAINING]

[GRUNTING]

Stop! No! We'll crash!
Let me go!

As you wish.

[GRUNTS]

Noooooo!

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS, GROANS]

Finish him.
I will take the Crown.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]
Listen to me!

The temple is falling to Earth.

It's going to burn up
in reentry.

Look.
See for yourself.

Uncontrolled reentry.

Calculating speed,
vectors, impact force...

[GRUNTS, GROANS]

Well done, sister.
Very well done.

T'Challa!

You're alive!

Apparently.

But our situation remains dire.

Where are Captain
America and Zemo?

Where are the rest
of the Shadow Council?

[CAPTAIN AMERICA]
How about two out of four?

[GROANS]

Glad to see you in one piece.

Tiger Shark has been dealt with.

Madame Masque
and Klaue are down.

That leaves only Killmonger.

And Zemo.

Ha. At last!

Victory is...

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]
Never!

The Crown's power
isn't meant for petty tyrants.

[BOTH GRUNT]

T'Challa's weakness
has infected you.

[GRUNTS]

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS, GROANS]

Zemo's change of heart
is not weakness.

You will never have the Crown.

Aah!

- Do you want good news or bad?
- Tell me all of it.

I've analyzed our trajectory.

The good news is we won't
burn up on reentry after all.

The bad news is that we're going
to crash into New York City!

[SHURI] If we can't change
the temple's trajectory,

we're going to crash
into New York.

What kind of damage are we
talking about here? Worst case.

At this speed, the impact of
something as large as the temple

would be an extinction event.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did he just say
"extinction," as in "everybody wiped out"?

That is what "extinction" means.
Unless...

"Unless"? "Unless" is good.

We could self-destruct.
From here, I mean.

We could.

W-Wait. Who is "we"?

Shuri's right. We could blow up the
temple. It'll save all those lives.

No. It won't.
It won't work.

[KLAUE]
I'm with her.

Stay back, Madame Masque.

Blowing up the temple
won't save anyone.

The pieces will still hit.

- I may be able to help if...
- She said, "Stay back."

Do you want to fix the damage
to this ship or not?

Let... me... help.

[KILLMONGER CHUCKLES]

So weak, T'Challa.

So desperate.

Giving your enemies control
of your fate.

You are no king. You're just
a spoiled little... [CHOKING]

Quiet, please.
I'm concentrating.

Yes, there is a lot of damage.

With help, I can fix most of it.

But someone will still
have to pilot us down.

Where is the pilot's station?

Three levels up, rear seven.

T'Challa, I'm the better pilot.

Shuri, all this, all of you...

you are my responsibility.

You stay here. Use your tech
skills to help Madame Masque.

We're still missing connections
in grids and six.

Those sections were destroyed.

By you!
When you att*cked us!

Rerouting those systems.

There's another problem...
the debris field.

Also created by your att*ck.
I'm seeing a pattern here.

You're seeing the wrong pattern.

The att*ck is the past.
Look at the debris field.

It's spread too wide.

Even if we land the temple,
we'll never catch all of it.

This isn't going to work.

They're failing.
We are all going to die!

No one's dying, Klaue.
Right, ladies?

Inconclusive.

No. I'm sorry.

The correct answer is: "Right, Captain.
No one is dying."

T'Challa, where are you?

Entering
the pilot's station now.

The security system
appears to be damaged.

It is not allowing access. But I
may be able to bypass the systems.

There!
I have taken care of it.

Pilot system engaged.

[PEOPLE CLAMORING]

[MAN, WOMAN GASP]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[YELLS]

You could also extend the temple's
gravity net around the debris field.

The net would be too thin.

We'll need something
to give it a power boost.

A medium, like water, or...
or plasma, or...

[TOGETHER]
Sound waves!

They're looking at me.
Why are they looking at me?

Aaahhh!

I think it's your turn
to be a hero, Klaue.

[GRUNTS]
Oh, no. No, no, no!

I'm strictly a passenger
on this flight!

Shut up, you big baby.
It won't hurt.

It won't, right?

If he keeps his mouth shut.

Okay.

Aah!

[STRAINING]

[YELLING]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING INTENSIFIES]

- [THUD]
- [GRUNTS]

[BLACK PANTHER] We must secure the
Crown before someone stumbles on it.

[CAPTAIN AMERICA] Are we sure
it made it through the crash?

No mere crash
could destroy the Crown.

It is here, somewhere.

Okay, we've got a deadly
ancient object to find.

Let's move, people.
