Post by bunniefuu »

YELENA: It's a synthetic gas.

The counteragent to
chemical subjugation.


(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

ROMANOFF: He had Widows
implanted all over the world.


You should be the one
to tell 'em it's over.


(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi there, Ana.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

Do it.

(YELLS)

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING AND PANTING)

Stop. I'm trying to help you.

Then why'd you break into my house?

- What?
- Sonya, hold her hands.

SONYA: Hurry. Hit her with the antidote.

(STRUGGLING GRUNTS)

Okay.

(COUGHING)

YELENA: The next bit is
gonna be really scary,

but we're here to help you.

(PANTING)

Look what you did to my rug.

Twenty thousand dollars
down the drain. Thanks.

Excuse me?

SONYA: I don't think
she was brainwashed.

What? You thought I was
some rich pervert's prisoner?

Well, yeah, kind of.

Wait, this is your house?
How can you afford all of this?

By doing the thing we're all best at.
k*lling for money.

So, how many widows have you helped?

Many. Many.

Yeah, it's hard work.

It's hard finding them. It's...

It's hard watching them wake.

But it's so worth it.

And when we've cleared
up all of this mess,

we will make good lives for ourselves.

Yelena, how is your sister doing?

She's doing okay.

- ANA: Good.
- Yeah, she's good.

And then, you and Natasha
will be reunited

and go live your Sex and the City
fantasy in New York.

(SONYA AND ANA LAUGH)

Excuse me.

ANA: Sex and the City,
we should watch it together.

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

(OMINOUS CHIMING)

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

(PANTING)

(CHIMING CONTINUES)

(DEVICE POWERING UP)

What's happening? What's going on?

- MAN: Uh, who are you?
- Who are you?

Yelena? Oh, my God, you're back.

Who's that, Mommy?

It's okay, sweetie. She's an old friend.

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

ANA: I got married.

We adopted three years ago,
it's been amazing.

- (GROANS)
- Sonya, who left my house

in a much less dramatic fashion
than you did that day,

realized this and now you will too.

You can start with contract work.

And then you can stay here
as long as you need.

Okay, stop.

Ana, I was in there for five seconds,

I come out and I've lost five
years of my life. Please.

I'm sorry, Yelena.
I was just trying to help you.

I know, I... Thank you. Yeah.

I need to find Natasha.

Can you help me find Natasha?
I need to tell her I'm okay.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

I cannot lose Kate.

I've lost people before.

I know in your line of work,
you have, too.

I understand.

Sloan's a shell company that
launders money for the Tracksuits.

And Jack Duquesne is the CEO.

- KATE: You lost your family in the Blip?
- BARTON: Yeah.

Is that where you met the Ronin?
It's you, isn't it?

Everybody dealt with the Blip
in their own way.

What do you want?

I don't want anybody else to die.

But Maya's need for vengeance
is gonna get her k*lled.


(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

Someone has hired a
Black Widow assassin.

This has gotten very real, very quickly.
So I'm doing this alone.

I chose to be here.

I understand the risk,
I understand all of that.

I'm not gonna do it.

Go home, Kate. It's over.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

ELEANOR: Kate?

Oh, my God. (GASPS)

Are you okay?

And why are you wearing
your archery suit?

I'm okay.

Does this have to do with Clint Barton?

Mom, no. Clint protected me.

You'll be glad to know
he then told me to come home

and stay away from him.

(SHUDDERING BREATHS)

(SNIFFLES) Mm.

(SIGHS)

Look at me.

You're the only thing
that matters to me.

Are you sure you're okay?

(CRYING)

Oh. Come here. Come here.

Oh. My baby girl.

- (SOBS)
- It's okay, hon.

Does Clint think you're a superhero?

No.

I don't either.

Mm. I know it's scary now, Kate.

But this doesn't have
to change who you are.

It just means that what you do

might look a little different
than you dreamed of as a child.

And preferably a little less reckless.

I never wanted to be reckless.
I wanted to help you.

I know, hon.

Recklessness is
the unfortunate side effect.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Bet you regret buying me
that first bow, don't you?

Sometimes.

Kidding.

You were so cute with that tiny bow.

(SIGHS)

God, I thought I could do anything.

I really thought I could be one of them.

Don't b*at yourself up, hon.

Sometimes the paths we're on,

they wind around in ways that
we never would have expected.

All you can do is keep moving forward,

even on days when honestly,
it all just kind of feels like sh*t.

Do you ever worry about me
not finding my path?

No.

I know exactly who you are.

And I have a pretty good picture
of who you're becoming.

I need to tell you something.

Clint and I have been
looking into Armand's m*rder.

And we found a lot of incriminating
stuff about Jack, Mom.

Including this Shell company that
he has, called Sloan Limited.

Maybe there's a reason for all...

I don't know. But you have
to please just promise me

that you'll look into it.
That's all I ask.

Okay. Okay, I will.

You go get your things
and come back home.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Hey.

Come on.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Must stop.

Okay?

Oh, my God.

(WATER TRICKLING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Kate Bishop.

(GRUNTS)

Hi.

I made macaroni if you want some.

I'm sorry. What?

Well, I was starving
and you took forever.

So I wanted to make food.

What do you want?

Relax, Kate Bishop.
I just want to talk, okay?

Are you really not hungry?

That fight was so long.

It's really tasty. Really tasty.

I know what boxed mac
and cheese tastes like.

I know it's... It's delicious.

(GROANS) Forks. Forks.

No.

You have one fork?

- I'm one person.
- That's so weird.

Kate, this is not cutlery.
This is not cutlery.

I am not gonna have dinner with you

after you tried to k*ll me
and then broke into my house.

I did not try to k*ll you.

A, I put you on a wire
to remove an obstacle.

And B, I did not break anything.

I am way too talented than that.

And C, stop being so defensive. Okay?

You're so hostile.

I'm not going to hurt you. I promise.

I don't have any weapons on me.

Okay, I take that back.

I don't have any weapons
currently in my hands.

That's a lie also.

Come on, take a fork. Eat. Eat.

Please, my daddy says it's good for you.

(SIGHS)

You're probably thinking,

"What? This is crazy.

I'm going to have dinner with the enemy?

"And she made some really
good smelling macaroni".

But in all honesty,
if I wanted to k*ll you...

You would have already.

Right as you open the door.

- I probably wouldn't have time to shut it.
- No. (CHUCKLES)

- I'd have been dead. Okay.
- No.

Yeah.

(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING)

(CHORAL SINGING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

GRILLS: Hello?

Hey, Grills, it's Clint. Can I come up?

Oh, my God, yeah, yeah, come up.

(BUZZING)

- (DOOR OPENS)
- GRILLS: I've been thinkin' about a name...

- Hey.
- GRILLS: Oh.

Can I come in?

Yeah, come on.

- Are you done?
- Yeah.

- I go?
- Sure, can.

- I could put hot sauce on it?
- Hmm.

Ah, I love hot sauce.

Yes.

So what do you want?

Well, it's my first time
in New York. Mmm-hmm.

It's a business trip,
so time is limited.

But I do want to see some things.

I want to see, uh,
the Empire State Building,

the new and improved Statue of Liberty,
and the Rockefeller Center.

(CHUCKLES) Very funny.

What, it's not good?

Oh. No, they're-they're great.

Yeah, you... I mean,
you've gotta see the tree.

(GASPS) Mmm.

Exactly. See? I love
American Christmases.

The tree, the presents,
the super-powered reindeer, Rudolph.

- Mmm-hmm. Rudolph. Heh.
- He is so weird. (CHUCKLES)

Have you ever eaten reindeer?

- Cannot say I've had the pleasure. No.
- It's... (LAUGHS)

No, it is not a pleasure. (CHUCKLES)

No, it's, um, it's really
tough. It's chewy.

Mm, you have to braise it
for a really long time.

But, hey, Kate Bishop,
you grew up here, right?

You must have some
recommendations for me.

Yeah... Um... (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I-I have. Let's see.
The High Line. High Line is great. Um...

There's a Christmas market
in Union Square. Um...

I'm not quite sure
those are the right fit

for the blood-thirsty vigilante type.

(LAUGHS)

Blood-thirsty vigilante. (CHUCKLES)

Sometimes you're funny, Kate Bishop.

Do you say my whole name
to point out that you know it?

Yes. I know a lot about you.

Mother, Eleanor. Lives on Park and st.

Father, Derek, deceased. Very sad.

And you recently walked
into traffic to save a dog,

which I'll admit is pretty cool,

and you got a few points
from me on that. Um...

University GPA . .
Senior, double major, and...

Right, okay. We get it.

Thank you.

Are you in New York to talk to Clint?
Is that why you're here?

No. No, no, no.

I'm here to k*ll him.

I have a question for you.

What is it?

Why do you risk your life
for him, Clint Barton?

How has everybody
forgiven him for his past?

He saved the world.

No. My sister saved the world.

Natasha Romanoff, she saved the world.

Stop pretending like you're not
surprised. It does not look cool.

You're really Natasha's sister?

Yes.

Wow. I did not see that coming.
Thank God, I didn't k*ll you up there.

(LAUGHS BOISTEROUSLY)

You k*ll me?

Again, oh, Kate Bishop,
you are so funny.

That's hilarious.
That one is the funniest.

Natasha and Clint were friends.
Why are you after him?

You are so fond of him.

It tells me you don't
really know who he is.

He came out here to protect me.

No. He came here
to protect his reputation.

Do you know how many people he k*lled?

The trail of blood that follows him,

it could wrap around the entire world.

Okay. Wow. That was very Russian.

YELENA: Hmm.

He's still an Avenger.

What does that word even mean? Huh?

That it holds so much power.

You call him a hero
no matter what he does?

It means that when you choose to
spend your life trying to help people,

there are going to be
things that you lose.

When you face the kind
of threats that he has,

there's going to be collateral damage.

My sister is gone because of him.

What? No. No, that is... No.

She's gone.

Is she collateral damage?

No, look, there is no way
that that is true.

He would not let that happen.

How long have you known Clint Barton?

About a week.

It will not be difficult for me
to complete this assignment.

Wait a minute, somebody
hired you to k*ll him?

All I'll say is that
if there is someone out there

that is telling you Clint is a bad guy,

then maybe you should ask yourself
what kind of person hired you.

He is not perfect. Nobody's
perfect. But he is good.

However he convinced you about who he is

or how many people think
or call him a hero,

truth is it doesn't matter.

We are defined by what we do.

Not by nice words.

Like it or not, there
is no escaping this.

So...

Where is he?

I don't know.

Okay.

(SNIFFLES)

Thank you for the girls' night, truly.

(SCOFFS)

Oh. And, Kate Bishop,
do not get in my way again.

(DEVICE SWISHES)

(SCOFFS)

BARTON: Well, I really
appreciate it, thank you.

GRILLS: No problem.

Since there was this... This guy.

GRILLS: Come on, man, of course.

You think you could, um, look after
the dog just for a few more days?

GRILLS: Sure.

I, I got a hotel, and they don't have...

- They don't allow dogs.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.

- Hotel?
- Yeah, it's just, uh...

No way.

Hawkeye's gonna stay
in a hotel for Christmas?

Man, take my couch. Really, take my bed.

The-The-The couch will
be great, thank you.

Here, bud.

Almost forgot.

Missy dropped off the new
outfits for you and Kate.

You wanna see 'em?

You know I do. Just... (BREATHES DEEPLY)
Just not right now.

OFFICER: We're gonna need you to
come in and answer some questions.

I promise you this is all
a big misunderstanding.


I've never worked a day in my life.

We have some tax records
that will beg to differ.

I'm telling you, the only
Sloan I've ever known

was this woman I dated in Palm Beach
and she was an absolute nightmare.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

ELEANOR: I looked into it,
honey, and you were right.

I don't blame you
for calling the police.

I would have done
exactly the same thing.

I've obviously been framed.

I'll clear all this up

and be back in a jiffy for your
Christmas party, you'll see.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(SNIFFLES)

Natasha...

I really need to talk to you right now.

You were the bravest
of us all, weren't you?

Loyal, stubborn.

You always had to win, didn't you?

And for a stupid orange rock.

I replayed that a million
times in my head

hoping for a different outcome.

But I do my best every day
to earn what you gave me.

Just wanna say I'm...

Just wanna say I miss you.

And I'm so sorry for
what I'm about to do.

(GRUNTS IN PAIN)

(SIGHS)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hey, it's me. Um...

Listen, I know you said,
"It's over", but it's not.

Not for me.

- Call me back.
- (BEEPS)

We need to talk about
the other woman on the roof.

Not Maya, no, the other one.

I don't wanna say much
on the phone. Call me back.

So, the police arrested Jack,
which is all pretty crazy.

- Would be great to discuss.
- (BEEPS)

Yeah, okay, sure,
I've screwed up a few times.

Okay? Fine, (SCOFFS)
whatever, I'm still learning.

- (SHATTERING)
- Oh, sh*t.

Do you think I wanna do this, Clint?

You think I wanna leave these
messages like a crazy person?

- No, this is your fault.
- (BEEPS)

This isn't over, Barton.
I'm gonna find you.

The mailbox is full and cannot accept
any messages at this time.


(GRUNTS ANGRILY)

(UPBEAT HIP HOP CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING)

- (BEATBOXING)
- (CHUCKLES)

- Run-DMC's classic tracksuit.
- Classic. Classic.

Or, uh, Tommie Smith in Olympics

or Royal Tenenbaums, right?

Tony Soprano, "Forget about it".

Royal Tenenbaums? Come on.
Do we look like Royal Tenenbaums?

Yes.

MAN : You know what
you don't see anymore?

- MAN : Tell me.
- MAN : Brass knuckles.

MAN : What are we gonna do, huh?

Pull them out of your pocket
in middle of fight?

"Wait one second please.

Let me put on brass knuckle
to punch your face".

(SCREAMS)

(PANTING RAPIDLY)

MAN : "Maya, meet me tonight
where you first met the Ronin.

Alone".

But we are not Maya.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hey. Perfect timing.
I just put Nate down to bed.

BARTON: Yeah, good. We need to talk.

Uh-oh, no fun conversation's
ever started that way.

Yeah.

Look, I... I'm sorry, this problem
just keeps getting bigger.

This Maya is relentless.

She's got her hands on the watch.
She looked into our family.


Someone has hired a black widow.

And I... I don't wanna think
about where this all goes.

Clint, we've been
so careful, really. I...

I mean, the kids and I are so far away.

It's not far enough.
It's never far enough.


If I don't end this tonight, um,

it's just a matter of time
before the big guy gets involved.

Jesus. Are you sure?

Can't be sure.
It's just a sinking feeling.

Then follow your gut.

What? It's not what you wanted to hear?

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, no.

Listen, you didn't call
looking for permission

and you don't need it from me so...

I trust your judgement.

You do what you have to do.

Okay.

LAURA: And know that
I'll always understand


more than anybody else ever could.

BARTON: I love you.

LAURA: I love you. Go end this.

(HORNS HONKING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, let's talk. (GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

(PANTS)

I wanted you...

No.

But if you or anyone comes
after me or my family,

it will be the last thing you do.
You have my word.

You and I, we're the same.

We're weapons.

But when you're filled with
rage, it makes you blind.

It could be used, could be manipulated.

Trust me, I know.

Yes. Your boss.

Your boss wanted your father dead.
Now he's using you...

- (BARTON GRUNTS AND GROANS)
- (MAYA GRUNTS)

(GASPS)

(SWORD CLATTERS)

(PANTING)

KATE: I bet you're wondering
how I found you.

- You tracked my phone again, didn't you?
- KATE: Yeah.

So this rescue mission,
you got an escape plan?

- Hey, are you Tabitha?
- Yes.

DRIVER: All right. Hop on in.

(HIP HOP SONG PLAYING)

(KAZI PANTS)

Thank God.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

So...

That's it? He got away.

(KAZI PANTING)

God damn it.

What are you talking about?

I don't know. I didn't get the call.

You sure?

(ENGINE REVVING)

Well, there's, uh...

one more thing we should worry about.

Yeah? What's that?

Um... Do you remember the girl
from last night, the one in the mask?

- Uh-huh.
- Um, I spoke to her.

And?

She said she's Natasha's sister.

Yelena?

KATE: Yeah.

Okay.

BARTON: Okay.

You all right?

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

- GRILLS: Dance. Oh!
- KATE: Oh!

- GRILLS: Good job, buddy.
- Wait. I wanna try.

- You're amazing.
- Here, you try it.

- All right. Dance.
- (WHINES)

No, dance.

You made it look so easy and cool.

- (DOG WHINING)
- Yeah, Grills is cool.

You can cook, you can LARP,
you can put out fires.

Ah. Stop it.

(PHONE BUZZES)

GRILLS: Hmm.

BARTON: What is it?

(PHONE CHIMING)

(GASPS)

BARTON: Kate?

(SHUDDERING BREATHS)

KATE: Look at this.
Who's that with my mom?

Well, that's the guy I've been
worried about this whole time.

Kingpin.
