I know this is odd,

but I'd like you to be there.

This is my moment. I want you to see it.

Sure, Darren. Yeah, sure.

I'll be there.

What did you see in me?

I don't know what you mean.

All those years ago, you picked me.

What did you see?

I saw myself.

Then why did you push me away?

Because I saw too much of myself.

He knows. He's baiting you.

We have to call it off.

We're all taking risks.

What if he saw me here?

He didn't. There's no way.

How do you know that?

Darren, hi.

Hope, where are you right now?

I'm at home. Why?

I just saw Hank.

I still get nothing but contempt from him.

Don't let him rile you up.

He's just a senile old man.

We need to start everyone working

around the clock.

Get the assembly line up and running.

And I'm tripling security.

Full sensors at all entrances

and exterior air vents

fitted with steel micro-mesh.

Great. Good idea.

Thank you, Hope.

I'm so lucky to have you on my team.

He's tripling security.

He's lost his mind, and he's onto you.

But he is not onto you.

He's adding full body scanners

to all entrances

and closing exterior vents.

How are we gonna get Scott inside?

The water main.

You can't add security to a water main.

The pressure is too strong,

but if we can decrease it,

that's how I get in.

Somebody would have to reach

the building's control center

to change the water pressure.

Hank and I will be beside Cross.

How are we supposed to do that?

So we expand our team.

What do we need?

A fake security guard on the inside

to de-pressurize the water system,

somebody else to hack in

to the power supply

and kill the laser grid,

and a getaway guy.

No, no. No, no, no.

Not those three wombats. No way.

Thank you for the coffee, ma'am.

It's not too often that you rob a place

and then get welcomed back.

Because we just robbed you.

You know that he was arrested

for stealing a smoothie machine, right?

Two smoothie machines.

Are you sure they can handle this?

Oh, we can handle it.

We're professionals.

You'll forgive us if we're not

instilled with confidence.

Well, hey, everybody just kick back

and relax a little bit, man.

We know our business.

We broke into this spooky-ass house,

didn't we?

I let you.

Well, one could say that I let you let me.

- Look, it's okay. They can handle this.

- Yeah, we can handle it.

- You got their credentials?

- He's in the system.

- I'm in the system?

- You're in the system.

The system?

Yeah, we're doomed.

All right.

There's something

you guys need to see.

When you get to this corner,

there's gonna be three offices

on your left side.

Damn!

Whoa! That's so cool, bro!

Now, look,

this is gonna get weird, all right?

It's pretty freaky, but it's safe.

There's no reason to be scared.

Oh, no, no. Daddy don't get scared.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Good.

This is the work of gypsies.

That's witchcraft.

Wow, that's amazing.

That's like some David Copperfield sh*t.

That's some kind of wizardry.

This is sorcery!

How'd you do that, bro?

Don't freak out.

Look at your shoulder.

Ahhh!

Get off! Get off!

Wait, I thought

Daddy didn't get scared!

I gave them each half a Xanax

and Hank explained the science

of the suit to them.

They fell right asleep.

Hey, look, I wanna thank you for...

No, please don't.

We're all doing this for reasons

much bigger than any one of us.

I'm just glad that you might have

a slight chance of maybe pulling this off.

Hey, thank you, you know,

for that pep talk.

You know, the honest truth is,

I actually went from despising you

to almost liking you.

You really should write poetry.

Get some sleep, Scott.

All right, just so we're clear,

everyone here knows their role, right?

- Dave?

- Wheels on the ground.

- Kurt?

- Eyes in the sky.

- Luis?

- Oh, man, you know it.

You know what? I get to wear a uniform.

- That's what's up.

- Luis.

I'm sorry. I'm good. I'm good.

I'm just excited.

Plus, your girlfriend's really hot.

So, you know,

that makes me nervous, too.

And you are very beautiful, ma'am.

- Oh, my Lord.

- She's not my...

You know what? I was thinking of

a tactic, like when I go undercover.

Like a whistling. You know

what I'm saying? To like, blend in.

No. Don't whistle. No whistling.

It's not The Andy Griffith Show.

No whistling.

All clear in Sector One.

Step out.

All clear.

We're set.

Wish me luck.

Utilities online.

Hey! What are you doing?

Uh... Boss-man said to secure the area,

so I'm securing it.

I'm the boss.

- Oh.

- Utilities 1.3...

Water level is dropping!

Coming up on extraction pipe.

All right, I see it.

All right, come on, I gotta get up there.

That's it. That's it, guys! Yes!

Yes! You got it! You got it! Come on!

All right, let's fly, Ant-thony.

The Ant-Man is in the building.

Pym's pulling up. Right on time.

Got a Crown Vic right outside there.

This is problem?

Considering the Crown Vic's

the most commonly used car

for undercover cops, man,

yes, this is problem.

That's Pym.

Oh, no.

I'm deploying the bullet ants.

Papanera Claire de Merna Merna...

I don't remember what it's called,

but I feel bad for this guy.

- What's up, man?

- Hey.

Ow! Ow!

See? That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I call

an unfortunate casualty

in a very serious operation.

Signal decoy in place.

Mean, pretty lady did good, Scott.

Looks like Pym's getting arrested.

Scott, we have problem.

Problem? What's the problem?

Dave! Dave, that's not part of plan!

Listen to me.

If I don't get into this building,

people will die.

That's awfully dramatic.

Are you kidding me?

Problem solved.

Well...

How do I look?

There he is.

Just in time. Come on.

12-point verification.

Little over-the-top,

don't you think, Darren?

Confirming authorization level.

Well, you can never be too safe.

Access granted.

Gotta hand it to you, Darren.

You really did it.

And you only know the half of it, Hank.

Arriving in second position.

All right, top speed, Ant-thony. Let's go!

Proceeding to command position.

I'll be right back, Ant-thony.

All right, guys. I'm in position.

I'm gonna signal the ants.

No, no, no, no, no!

Did you see that?

Assume formation.

All right, you cute little crazies,

let's fry these servers!

Let's go get 'em, buddy!

Servers are fried.

Data backup completely erased.

Heading to the particle chamber.

Hello, Dr. Cross.

My associates have agreed

to your terms.

Wonderful.

Mr. Carson introduced me

to these fine gentlemen here.

They're representatives of Hydra.

They're not what they were.

They're doing some interesting work.

And I'm enjoying myself.

You tried to hide

your technology from me.

And now it's gonna blow up in your face.

Wow.

Wow! I mean, I saw that punch coming

a mile away,

but I just figured it'd

be all pathetic and weak.

Well, you figured wrong.

I know this van.

Anybody home?

All right, guys. I'm here.

I'm setting the charges.

Great job, guys. I'll take it from here.

Good boy, Ant-thony.

Edgar Wright

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English director, screenwriter and producer. He began making independent short films before making his first feature film A Fistful of Fingers (1995). Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the first film in the Three Flavours Cornetto, the horror comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World's End (2013), which Wright directed and also starred the pair. In 2010, Wright co-wrote, produced, and directed the comedy action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he co-wrote Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin (2011). Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. His latest film, the action comedy Baby Driver, was released in 2017. Wright has also directed numerous music videos, including The Bluetones' "Keep the Home Fires Burning" (2000), The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster's "Psychosis Safari" (2002), Mint Royale's "Blue Song" (2002), Pharrell Williams' "Gust of Wind" (2014), and Beck’s "Colors" (2018). more…
