01x10 - Black Panther

[bunniefuu]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

TONY: It seems the Masters of Evil are gathering vibranium.

STEVE: You kids may not be familiar with it,

but vibranium is the hardest metal in the world

and it's extremely rare.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that

what your shield is made from?

That would explain why everything

just bounces right off of it.

STEVE: Indeed.

And there's only one country in the world

that mines this precious metal.

Right.

Wakanda.

Well, if that's the case, then we

should get over there and find out how it's getting out.

[GROANING]

What am I missing?

Wakanda is not an ordinary place.

[THEME MUSIC]

Hang in there.

[CLICKING]

[BEEPING]

I expected to go to voicemail.

How's Wakanda?

Hot as ever I assume.

What do you want?

Oh, don't be like that, Black Panther.

Is that any way to treat an old friend of yours?

I mean, really?

Who's this Black Panther guy?

He's the reigning king of Wakanda.

He also happens to be its greatest superhero.

[CLANGING]

Again, what do you want?

Fine then.

I'll cut to the chase.

Vibranium is somehow making its way out of Wakanda.

I'm requesting your permission for the Avengers

to enter your kingdom to investigate.

Denied.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You of all people should know Wakanda

does not accept visitors.

They are not welcome.

THOR: It is believed among the people in his country

that outsiders bring calamity.

Hard to blame them.

Their people fought foreign invaders

time after time for many years.

Yeah, that would make sense.

I am grateful for the information,

but Wakanda will solve her problems on her own.

Hold on a second!

T'CHALLA: This discussion is over.

We believe it's the Masters of Evil.

Huh?

And I have some additional information.

Can we at least talk about this urgent matter in person?

Very well.

All right.

With one condition.

Which is?

T'CHALLA: You come alone, Tony Stark.

Huh?

Agreed.

T'CHALLA: And you are to leave that high-tech armor of yours

at home.

Huh?

I will not allow weapons of any kind

to be brought into Wakanda.

That is all.

Great.

That's just perfect.

ADI: I see.

So Mr. Stark's going to this meeting in Wakanda alone?

I'm thinking maybe I should go with him.

I mean, if something happens and he doesn't have his armor,

he could be in serious trouble.

I could help him out of that with my martial arts skills.

Also since I can disguise myself,

I'm sure I could find some way--

Chloé, wait.

ADI: Bad idea.

But why?

This isn't something we should get involved in.

What's the big deal?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Well, you saw what happened with Makoto.

[GROANING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I mean, think about it.

What if something like that happened to you, too?

I couldn't.

Hmph.

Excuse me.

I'm gonna get some water.

Koto.

All right!

I'll be a superhero.

I gotta say it's nice to take a trip

by yourself once in a while.

[EXHALING]

Sorry about this, Adi, but I'm not

going to sit around and do nothing just because you

don't want me to go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Whoa.

We've been expecting you.

His Majesty awaits.

[CHUCKLING]

You didn't have to go through all

this trouble for little old me.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Hurry up. You are late.

Right.

Sorry.

T'CHALLA: Emerald crystals.

Yes.

I believe that the Masters of Evil

are going to use the vibranium to mass produce those crystals.

I understand your concern.

Vibranium possesses incredible power.

If it is used on such a scale--

The results would be terrible.

Catastrophic.

This is why we cannot trust other countries.

Oh, thank goodness.

I made it in.

Hey, straighten up that spear.

[CLANKING]

I can't blow my cover.

That's why we have to do whatever it takes to stop

them before it's too late.

We need to start with Wakanda's--

COUNCIL MEMBER: This is the reason I was against letting

foreigners into the country.

When we open our doors to outsiders,

it always brings trouble.

They have nothing good to offer us.

They simply take.

Respectfully, I'm trying to help.

T'CHALLA: This is true.

Please listen to reason.

I thank you for coming all this way

to share this troubling information

with us, Tony Stark, but we do not

need your help in this matter.

What?

As I told you before, Wakanda will

solve her problems on her own.

Black Panther--

We do not allow outside interference.

This is how it is done here.

You don't have the luxury of closing yourselves off.

This isn't just Wakanda's problem.

It's the world's.

Don't you see?

You can isolate yourselves all you want, but someday--

and it could be soon-- you won't be

able to keep out the world and part

of that may be your own fault.

[HYPERVENTILATING]

[SCREAMING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Chloé, what are--

[WHIMPERING]

[GASPING]

Oh, hi there.

How's everybody doing?

[GASPING]

You are quite bold to enter my country without permission.

[AUDIO LOGO]

Take away the trespasser, sir.

Let go of me.

Stop.

Hold on.

I swear she's no danger to you.

Please I know her.

Throw her in a cell.

Her name is Chloé.

She happens to be an apprentice of the Avengers.

Come on.

She's only a kid.

Whoa!

[WINCING]

I said you were hurting me, creep.

Oops.

Chloé.

I'm sorry.

Do you have the slightest idea about what you've done?

T'CHALLA: You broke your promise to me, Tony Stark.

I told you to come alone.

As far as I knew, I was alone.

I was a stowaway.

He had no idea.

What?

Anyway, how can you sit there and call yourself a superhero.

If we don't get to the bottom of this and stop them,

a lot of people all over the world are going to get hurt.

I can't believe you're sticking to some close-minded custom,

not working with others at a time like this.

Hold your tongue.

Need I remind you that you are speaking

to royalty, young lady?

Remove that girl this instant.

CHLOÉ: Don't touch me.

I can walk on my own.

Which way is it?

COUNCIL MEMBER: Just keep quiet.

Oh, man.

I'm sorry.

I never expected something like this to happen.

I did indeed break my promise to you.

That girl.

GUARD: Your Majesty.

T'CHALLA: What happened?

You are injured?

An intruder.

Someone has infiltrated the vibranium processing facility.

[WINCING]

I declare a state of emergency.

I am going to investigate.

Please let me come with you.

The last thing we want is for another outsider

to be inside the facility.

Look, whoever did this is probably long gone by now.

But if you know what to look for,

they likely left some clues behind.

I know all about Wakanda's technological strength,

but, frankly, when it comes to data analysis this delicate,

Stark Enterprises is second to none.

Come with me.

You got it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Looks like it's been picked pretty clean.

They must have felt pressured.

When they realized their plan was blown,

they moved into high gear.

Evil tends to behave that way.

TONY: Just what we need.

Can you analyze it.

No sweat.

Just leave it to me.

ADI: Understood.

I'll crack it open and see what I can find.

Thank you, Adi.

Oh, and about Chloé--

I knew it.

She stowed away, didn't she?

TONY: Yeah.

Just tell her to stay out of trouble if you don't mind.

But I don't know if saying so makes any difference.

No kidding.

If something were to happen to her,

her brother here says you'll have to answer to him.

[CHUCKLING]

I hear you.

Now please excuse me while I do some damage control.

Later.

Have faith in Tony.

It'll be fine.

Right.

And I'll do whatever I can on this end to help out.

[MOANING]

[SNORING]

Hulk, why are--

huh?

Makoto, thank goodness you're awake.

We were worried.

What happened?

Why is he--

Like I said, we were worried.

Hulk's been here all night.

Huh?

Huh?

Black Panther, why are you here?

Are your quarters comfortable?

Oh, it's just great in here.

Well, do you want something from me or what?

Hmm.

Oh.

So you snuck into Wakanda without assistance from anyone.

Quite impressive.

I am curious, where did such courage come from?

Is it to save the world or maybe your country?

I did it for my family.

Hmm.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I have a younger brother.

His name is Makoto, and he--

well, honestly, he can be a total dunce sometimes.

He wants to be a superhero more than anything.

No matter the obstacle, he keeps on going with all he's got.

He won't let destiny control him.

A superhero.

But now he's hurt and can't get out of bed.

It really pains me to see him like that.

I want to do whatever I can to cheer him up and help him heal.

I feel like if I can do that, then maybe

it will help him become a hero.

I see.

Your name is Chloé, correct?

Yeah.

Why do you ask.

Because I would like to invite you to my palace, Chloé.

Let us continue this discussion over some tea.

You are quite strong.

I would like to hear more of your story.

An invitation from a king!

Awesome.

You know, I can't believe you lock

up a lady like me in a dark, cold, and dingy place

like this.

That's just rude.

Did you finish that analysis?

Wasn't easy but yes.

Data retrieved.

Sending you the high res copy now.

That's who it was.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GASPING]

Klaw.

Who's this Klaw?

The enemy of my father.

He will pay for this dearly.

Time for a counter strike.

We will annihilate him.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You're launching an attack?

Does that mean you know where he's going to strike next?

Yes.

Most likely our largest vibranium processing facility.

I want to come with you, but I'm

going to need my armor first.

No!

This is Wakanda's battle.

Come on already.

The fate of the entire world is riding on this.

You've got to let me help.

I beg you.

There's too much at stake here.

I agree with Tony on this.

Do as you wish.

Listen, Friday.

I need you to find the nearest possible rendezvous

point to deliver my armor.

Once you have it, send me the coordinates.

I'll head over there and the Avenget and suit up.

What about me?

What can I do?

Well, he did say do as you wish.

MAKOTO: Hulk, I want to apologize.

For what exactly?

I'm-- I'm not sure what to do.

Hmm.

What if the same thing happens again?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[expl*si*n]

Where?

Where is the vibranium?

Where are they hiding it!

It has been a while, Klaw.

Ooh.

If it isn't His Majesty himself.

This is quite the honor.

Have you come to meet the same fate as your father?

Do not dare mention him.

I have come here to take you down!

[FIGHTING SOUNDS]

Incredible.

Wakanda's greatest warrior in action.

Black Panther means business.

I've gotta hurry.

It is over.

Hah.

[WINCING]

Don't underestimate me.

[WHIRRING]

[SCREAMING]

It hurts.

What in the world is that?

[WINCING]

What's the matter?

I was expecting more out of Wakanda's greatest warrior.

Your sonic attack will not stop me.

Look at that.

You've still got some fight left.

[SCREAMING]

He can't take much more.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

How long?

FRIDAY: We will arrive at the rendezvous point in 60 seconds.

All right, Friday.

Take the controls.

FRIDAY: Yes, Mr. Stark.

[GROWLING]

Those are impressive moves.

Your responsibilities as king must inspire you.

Amazing how much like your father you are.

I told you not to speak of him.

KLAW: Still it won't be enough.

Slowly watching your pride turn into crushing despair

is something I'll enjoy immensely.

[WINCING]

And like your father before you, you

will suffer the same pathetic and wretched end.

Your reign is over.

Say goodbye.

[GROANING]

[SCREAMING]

You're done for.

[AUDIO LOGO]

Black Panther, we're not going to give up.

Chloé, it is dangerous.

Stay back.

I'll fight alongside you.

Listen to me.

This is a fight that we can't afford to lose.

Yes.

We cannot allow him to win.

It is my duty to protect my people.

OK, then.

Let's do this.

What is this?

Your worst nightmare.

Indeed.

[GROWLING]

Why you little--

stand still.

Stop it.

Let go of me!

Chloé.

Stupid kid.

Meddling with my plans.

[WHIMPERING]

This is over.

TONY: Repulsor!

Chloé, are you all right?

Woo, just in time.

Though I have to admit, we superheroes

do seem to have a knack for showing

up at just the right moment.

What took you so long?

You get stuck in traffic?

I'm not done with you.

[GROANING]

It's some kind of sonic blast.

Analysis, Friday, now.

FRIDAY: Yes, Mr. Stark.

[GROANING IN AGONY]

Come on, Friday.

Get it done.

[GROANING]

Have you got it?

FRIDAY: Analysis complete.

All right.

Let him have it.

What happened?

Your sonic blast neutralized his.

Just a little bit of noise canceling.

[GROWLING]

[GROANING]

Leave, Wakanda-- no, leave the world alone.

You will talk in my prison.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I want to thank you for all of your help with this matter.

From this point forward, I will consider

you, Tony Stark, and the rest of the Avengers

as trusted friends of Wakanda.

And should another crisis befall the world,

I promise we will not hesitate to help.

That sounds good to me.

T'CHALLA: Chloé, your bravery has moved me.

You stood tall in the face of battle.

I thank you.

No sweat.

That's what friends are for.

Indeed.

I suppose so.

[LAUGHTER]

[END THEME]

(SINGING) Avengers.

Avengers.

Future Avengers.

Avengers.

Avengers.

Future Avengers.

Yeah.

Avengers.

Future Avengers.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

ANNOUNCER: Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for.

Our beloved Spider-Man is here.

That's right.

The most popular superhero of all time

will lend a helping hand to the Avengers.

This addition will make them undeniably invincible,

but the next enemy is--

what-- the Hulk?

The next episode of "Marvel's--

Future Avengers-- The Rampaging Hulk."

Catch the future Avengers.
