What do you mean "up close"?

- But it's a trick.

- No, no, it's much more than that.

"Whosoever be he worthy

shall haveth the power."

Whatever, man! It's a trick.

Please, be my guest.

- Come on.

- Really?

Yeah.

This is gonna be beautiful.

Clint, you've had a tough week. We won't

hold it against you if you can't get it up.

You know I've seen this before, right?

I still don't know how you do it!

- Smell the silent judgment?

- Please, Stark, by all means.

Okay.

Never one to shrink

from an honest challenge.

Get after it.

- It's physics.

- Physics.

Right, so, if I lift it,

I then rule Asgard?

Yes, of course.

I will be reinstituting prima nocta.

I'll be right back.

- Are you even pulling?

- Are you on my team?

- Just represent. Pull.

- All right, let's go.

Go ahead, Steve. No pressure.

Come on, Cap.

Nothing.

And, Widow?

No, no. That's not a question

I need answered.

All deference to the Man

Who Wouldn't Be King, but it's rigged.

- You bet your ass.

- Steve, he said a bad language word.

Did you tell everyone about that?

- - The handle's imprinted, right?

Like a security code. "Whosoever

is carrying Thor's fingerprints"

is, I think, the literal translation.

Yes. It's a very,

very interesting theory.

I have a simpler one.

You're all not worthy.

Come on!

Worthy.

No.

How could you be worthy?

You're all killers.

- Stark.

- Jarvis.

I'm sorry, I was asleep.

Or I was a-dream.

Reboot Legionnaire OS.

We got a buggy suit.

There was this terrible noise.

And I was tangled in...

In...

Strings.

I had to kill the other guy.

He was a good guy.

- You killed someone?

- Wouldn't have been my first call.

But, down in the real world,

we're faced with ugly choices.

Who sent you?

I see a suit of armor around the world.

- Ultron.

- In the flesh. Or, no, not yet.

Not this chrysalis.

But I'm ready.

I'm on mission.

- What mission?

- Peace in our time.

Rhodey!

Sorry.

- Don't turn green.

- I won't.

Come on!

- Stark!

- We are here to help.

- One sec. One sec, I got this.

- We are here to help.

Please back away.

Thor!

Is unsafe. Is unsafe...

- Come on! That's the one.

- ...is unsafe.

Cap!

That was dramatic.

I'm sorry, I know you mean well.

You just didn't think it through.

You want to protect the world

but you don't want it to change.

How is humanity saved

if it's not allowed to... evolve?

With these? These puppets.

There's only one path to peace.

The Avengers' extinction.

I had strings, but now I'm free.

There are no strings on me...

There are no strings on me

All our work is gone.

Ultron cleared out. He used

the Internet as an escape hatch.

- Ultron.

- He's been in everything.

Files, surveillance. Probably knows more

about us than we know about each other.

He's in your files,

he's in the Internet.

What if he decides to access

something a little more exciting?

- Nuclear codes.

- Nuclear codes.

Look, we need to make some calls,

assuming we still can.

- Nukes? He said he wanted us dead.

- He didn't say "dead." He said "extinct."

- He also said he killed somebody.

- There wasn't anyone else in the building.

Yes, there was.

What?

- This is insane.

- Jarvis was the first line of defense.

He would have shut Ultron down.

It makes sense.

No. Ultron could have assimilated Jarvis.

This isn't strategy.

This is... rage.

- It's going around.

- Come on, use your words, buddy.

I have more than enough words

to describe you, Stark.

Thor. The Legionnaire.

Trail went cold about 100 miles out,

but it's headed north.

And it has the scepter.

Now we have to retrieve it, again.

Genie's out of that bottle.

Clear and present is Ultron.

I don't understand.

You built this program.

Why is it trying to kill us?

You think this is funny?

No.

It's probably not, right?

This is very terrible. Is it so...

Is it so... It is. It's so terrible.

This could have been avoided

if you hadn't played

- with something you don't understand.

- No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It is funny. It's a hoot that you

don't get why we need this.

- Tony, maybe this might not be the time.

- Really? That's it?

You just roll over, show your belly

every time somebody snarls?

- Only when I've created a murder bot.

- We didn't.

We weren't even close.

Were we close to an interface?

Well, you did something right.

And you did it right here.

The Avengers were supposed

to be different than S.H.I.E.L.D.

Anybody remember when

I carried a nuke through a wormhole?

- No, it's never come up.

- Saved New York?

- Never heard that.

- Recall that?

A hostile alien army came charging

through a hole in space.

We're standing 300 feet below it.

We're the Avengers.

We can bust arms dealers

all the livelong day, but...

that up there, that's...

that's the endgame.

How were you guys

planning on beating that?

Together.

We'll lose.

Then we'll do that together, too.

Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out.

And I'd like to find him

before he's ready for us.

The world's a big place.

Let's start making it smaller.

Talk, and if you are wasting our time...

Did you know this church

is in the exact center of the city?

The elders decreed it so that

everyone could be equally close to God.

I like that. The geometry of belief.

You're wondering

why you can't look inside my head.

Sometimes it's hard.

But sooner or later,

every man shows himself.

I'm sure they do.

But you needed something

more than a man.

That's why you let Stark

take the scepter.

I didn't expect,

but I saw Stark's fear.

I knew it would control him.

Make him self-destruct.

Everyone creates the thing they dread.

Men of peace create engines of war.

Invaders create Avengers.

People create...

smaller people?

"Children." I lost the word, there.

Children... designed to supplant them,

to help them... end.

Is that why you've come,

to end the Avengers?

I've come to save the world.

But also... yeah.

We'll move out right away.

This is a start, but there's something

we need to begin the real work.

- All of these are...

- Me.

I have what the Avengers never will.

Harmony.

They're discordant. Disconnected.

Stark's already got them

turning on each other.

And when you get inside

the rest of their heads...

Everyone's plan is not to kill them.

And make them martyrs?

You need patience.

Need to see the big picture.

I don't see the big picture.

I have a little picture.

I take it out and look at it...

every day.

You lost your parents in the bombings.

I've seen the records.

- The records are not the picture.

- Pietro.

No, please.

We were 10 years old.

Having dinner, the four of us.

When the first shell hits, two floors

below, it makes a hole in the floor.

It's big.

Our parents go in...

and the whole building

starts coming apart.

I grab her,

roll under the bed,

and the second shell hits.

But it doesn't go off.

It just...

sits there in the rubble.
