Thor: The Dark World Page #4

right now,

we would never even know it.

If and when he comes

his men will fall

on 10,000 Asgardian blades.

And how many of our men

shall fall on theirs?

As many as are needed!

Ah!

We Will fight!

Till the IastAsgardian breath.

Till the last drop of Asgardian blood.

Then how are you different

from Malekith?

(CHUCKLES)

The difference, my son, is that I will win.

Jane isn't calling me back,

Erik isn't calling me back,

stupid S.H.I.E.L.D.

isn't calling me back.

- What's S.H.l.E.L.D?

- It's a secret.

Hey, Erik, it's Darcy again.

Thor came back,

he took Jane to Asgard,

and I'm not sure

what I'm supposed to do.

NEWSCASTER:
Something else

went missing this week

when astrophysicist Dr. Erik Selvig

notable for his involvement

in the alien invasion of New York

streaked nude across...

IAN:
Darcy,

you really need to look at this.

Your friend, Erik...

What was his last name again?

And began shouting at visitors

to the historic site.

He was later taken into police custody

for psychiatric evaluation.

Police are still refusing to confirm...

You were not at Odin's war council.

The Bifrost is closed

by your father's orders.

No one is to come

or to go.

We face an enemy

that is invisible even to me.

What use is a guardian such as that?

Malekith will return, you know this.

I need your help.

I cannot overrule my king's wishes.

Not even for you.

I'm not asking you to.

The realms need their Allfather strong

and unchallenged

whether he is or not.

But he is blinded, Heimdall

by hatred and by grief.

As are we all.

I see clearly enough.

The risks are too great.

Everything we do from here on is a risk.

There is no other way.

What do you require of me'?

THOR:
What I'm about to ask of you

is treason of the highest order.

Success will bring us exile

and failure shall mean our death.

Malekith knew the Aether was here.

He can sense its power.

If we do nothing,

he will come for it again

but this time, lay waste to all of Asgard.

We must move Jane off-world.

The Bifrost has been shut down

and the Tesseract

locked away in the vault.

There are other paths off Asgard.

Ways known only to a few.

One, actually.

No.

Thor. After all this time

and now you come to visit me.

Why?

Have you come to gloat? To mock'?

Loki, enough.

No more illusions.

Now you see me, brother.

Did she suffer'?

I did not come here to share our grief.

Instead I offer you the chance

of a far richer sacrament.

Go on.

I know you seek vengeance

as much as I do.

You help me escape Asgard

and I will grant it to you.

Vengeance

and afterward, this cell.

(CHUCKLES)

You must be truly desperate

to come to me for help.

What makes you think

you can trust me?

I don't.

Mother did.

But you should know that when

we fought each other in the past,

I did so with a glimmer of hope

that my brother

was still in there somewhere.

That hope no longer exists

to protect you.

You betray me, and I will kill you.

Hmm.

When do we start?

He will betray you.

He will try.

This is so unlike you, brother.

So clandestine.

Are you sure you wouldn't

rather just punch your way out'?

If you keep speaking, I just might.

Fine. As you wish.

I'm not even here.

Is this better?

It's better company at least.

Still, we could be less conspicuous.

Mmm, brother, you look ravishing.

It will hurt no less

when I kill you in this form.

Very well. Perhaps you

prefer one of your new companions

given that you seem

to like them so much.

Oh, this is much better.

Ooh.

The costume is a bit much. So tight.

But the confidence...

I can feel the righteousness surging.

Hey, do you want to have

a rousing discussion about truth?

Honor? Patriotism?

God bless Amer...

(GRUNTS)

What?

You could at least

furnish me with a weapon.

My dagger, something.

(METAL CLANGS)

At last.

A little common SENSE.

(CLICKING)

And I thought you liked tricks.

Well, what then? Your lovely mortal is

being guarded by a legion of Einnerjar

who will see you coming

from miles away.

I won't be the one who comes for her.

I'm not hungry.

-(GRUNTING)

- What the...

Good. Let's go.

You're...

I'm Loki, you may have heard of me.

That was for New York.

I like her.

S? And what of the Allfather?

It is my sworn duty to notify him

of crimes against the throne.

You called me here on an urgent matter.

What is it?

Treason, my lord.

Whose?

Mine.

TYRI My king!

The mortal has been taken.

ODIN:
Stop Thor.

By any means necessary.

There they are! Take them.

On my command.

I'll hold them off. Take her.

Thank you.

Betray him, and I'll kill you.

(CHUCKLING)

It's good to see you, too, Sif.

Assuming you can get Loki's help

and you can free this mortal

what good would it do?

We'd all be dead the minute

we step one foot outside the palace.

That, my friend,

is why we won't be leaving by foot.

I will give you as much time as I can.

Thank you, my friend.

If you even think about betraying him...

You'll kill me'?

Evidently, there will be a line.

(SIGHS)

(WHIRRING)

I thought you said

you knew how to fly this thing.

I said, "How hard could it be?"

(GRUNTING)

They're on the ship!

Get to the ship!

(YELLING)

(GRUNTING)

Well, whatever you're doing, brother,

I suggest you do it faster.

- Shut up, Loki.

-(ALL GRUNTING)

You must have missed something.

No, I didn't.

I'm pressing every button on this thing.

No, don't hit it. Just press it gently.

I'm pressing it gently, it's not working!

(POWERING UP)

Ha, ha!

GUARDS:
Get him! Get him!

-(LAUGHING)

-(GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

(SCREAMING)

(CHUCKLES)

(ALL GROANING)

(VOLSTAGG LAUGHING)

-(SIGHS) I think you missed a column.

- Shut up!

LOKI:
Look,

why don't you let me take over?

I'm clearly the better pilot.

Is that right? Well, out of the two of us,

which one can actually fly?

(SCREAMING)

(THOR GRUNTS)

(CHUCKLING)

Oh, dear. Is she dead?

Jane.

I'm okay.

Ah!

Not a word.

Now they're following us.

Now they're firing at us.

Yeah, thank you

for the commentary, Loki,

it's not at all distracting!

Well done.

You just decapitated your grandfather.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

You know, this is wonderful.

This is a tremendous idea.

Let's steal the biggest,

most obvious ship in the universe

and escape in that.

Flying around the city,

smashing into everything in sight

so everyone can see us.

It's brilliant, Thor! It's truly brilliant!

(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHING)

I see your time in the dungeons

has made you no less graceful, Loki.

LOKI:
You lied to me.

I'm impressed.

I'm glad you're pleased.

Now, do as you promised.

And take us to your secret pathway.

- Fandral.

- Right.

For Asgard.

Nothing personal, boys.

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

Loki...

If it were easy, everyone would do it.

- Are you mad'?

- Possibly.

LOKI:
Ta-da!

(SPEAKING ELVEN LANGUAGE)

We must strike now.

No.

Asgard is meaningless.

The Aether has found its way home.

(SIGHS)

What I could do with the power

that flows through those veins.
