LOKI:

Grandmaster, I-

GRANDMASTER:

Hey! Don't interrupt me!

Topaz hands the melt stick to the grandmaster.

TOPAZ:

Here you go.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 78.

GRANDMASTER:

Why are you handing me the melt

stick? He was interrupting. That's

not a capital violation.

(refocuses)

My precious champion has come up

missing and its all because of that

Lord of Thunder. It's all because

of him.

(to Loki)

YOUR brother. Whatever the story

is. Adopted, or complicated. I'm

sure there's a big history.

(to Valkyrie)

And YOUR contender.

LOKI:

My dear friend, if you were to give

me twelve hours I could bring them

both back to you.

VALKYRIE:

I can do it in two.

LOKI:

I could do it in one.

GRANDMASTER:

You know what? I woke up this

morning thinking about a public

execution. But for now, I'll

settle for this sweet little "who's

gonna get him first?" So you're on

the clock.

64 INT. GRANDMASTER'S PALACE - DAY 64

Valkyrie exits in a hurry. Loki follows her.

LOKI:

What have you done!?

Val reverses position, putting Loki up against the wall.

VALKYRIE:

I don't answer to you, lackey.

LOKI:

It's Loki. And you will answer to

the Grandmaster.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 79.

Loki moves to reverse position again, but Val BREAKS AWAY,

drawing her TWO BLADES. In response, Loki UNSHEATHES two

long Sakaarian daggers. They eye each other, and then-

-FIGHT! A fast-paced and deadly battle of knives. After a

few exchanges, Val connects a BIG SHOT that SLAMS Loki into

the wall. He scowls.

LOKI (CONT'D)

Why would you help my brother

escape with that green fool?

VALKYRIE:

I don't help anyone.

Loki trails off. He sees her wrist markings. A realization.

LOKI:

You're a Valkyrie. I thought the

Valkyrie all died gruesome deaths?

Now Val ATTACKS Loki! She gets him up against the wall, her

blade against his throat. She looks ready to kill him.

VALKYRIE:

Choose your next words wisely.

LOKI:

Terribly sorry. Must be a very

painful memory...

Quick as a rattlesnake, Loki GRABS Val's head and CASTS an

illusion. Val's eyes CLOUD OVER with darkness as we go to:

65 EXT. HELA'S DIMENSION - FLASHBACK 65

A barren black void of death.

The VALKYRIE, in old school Asgardian armor, charge through

the DIMENSIONAL RIFT, an open portal to Asgard and the Nine

Realms. Val witnesses these events as moments frozen in time.

- Reveal Hela in all her glory, black lightning everywhere.

- Dozens of Valkyrie falling through the dark space.

- The Valkyrie's winged horses lay dead on the battlefield.

- Through the open portal we can see the throne of Asgard.

- Hela advancing on the final few Valkyrie - one is Val,

frozen in fear, shell-shocked.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 80.

- Hela FIRING black weapons at Val...

- One of Val's sisters DIVING IN at the last second, SHOVING

VAL back through the PORTAL and taking the fatal hit!

- Val lands hard in the Throne room.

- Val scrambling to her feet and trying to re-enter the rift

but it's too late. It closes, the last image she sees is Hela

dealing the final killer blow to her doomed Valkyrie sisters.

66 EXT. GRANDMASTER'S PALACE - CONTINUOUS 66

We find Val on her knees in front of Loki, trembling from

this visceral memory that she's tried so hard to suppress.

She turns on Loki, raging, and knocks him out.

69 EXT. SAKAAR - STOOP - DAY 69

BANNER sits, groaning, head in his hands. THOR is beside

him, rubbing his back and on the lookout for threats.

THOR:

The sun's going down. It's getting

really low. The sun's going down.

It's getting real low.

BANNER:

Would you stop saying that!?

THOR:

I just need you to stay calm.

BANNER:

Calm!? I'm on an alien planet!

THOR:

It's just a planet. You've been on

a planet before.

BANNER:

Yeah! One!

THOR:

Now you've been on two. That's a

good thing. It's a new experience.

BANNER:

My neurons, they're firing faster

than my brain can handle the

information.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 81.

BANNER (CONT'D)

The whole thing is totally

different this time.

(beat)

In the past, I always felt like

Hulk and I each had a hand on the

wheel, but this time it's like he

had the keys and I was locked in

the trunk.

THOR:

Alright, well, you're back now,

that's all that matters.

BANNER:

No, it's not what matters. What

I'm trying to tell you, is that if

I turn into the Hulk again, Banner

may never come back. And we're

stranded on a planet that is

designed to stress me out.

THOR:

We're not stranded, I'm gonna

figure out a way to get us home.

BANNER:

Thank you.

THOR:

Not your home, though. Asgard.

BANNER:

What?

THOR:

Listen, my people are in great

danger. You and I, we have to

fight this really powerful being

who also happens to be my sister.

BANNER:

Okay, that is so wrong on so

many... I don't wanna fight your

sister. That's a family issue.

THOR:

No, she's an evil being.

BANNER:

I don't care what she is. I'm not

fighting any more beings. I'm sick

of it. I just told you.
