Thor: The Dark World Page #5

It would consume you.

LOKI:
She's holding up all right.

For now.

She's strong in ways

you'd never even know.

Say goodbye.

Not this day.

LOKI:
This day, the next,

a hundred years, it's nothing.

It's a heartbeat.

You'll never be ready.

The only woman

whose love you've prized

will be snatched from you.

And will that satisfy you'?

Satisfaction is not in my nature.

Surrender is not in mine.

- The son of Odin...

- No.

Not just of Odin.

You think you alone

were loved of Mother'?

You had her tricks, but I had her trust.

Trust?

Was that her last expression?

Trust? When you let her die'?

- What help were you in your cell?

- Who put me there?

Who put me there?

You know damn well!

- You know damn well who!

-(GRUNTS)

(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)

She wouldn't want us to fight.

Well, she wouldn't exactly be shocked.

(CHUCKLES)

I wish I could trust you.

Trust my rage.

You'll have to sign

for your father's belongings, Mr. Selvig.

(STAMMERING) What?

Oh, yeah.

My father, Dr. Erik Selvig.

One man's leather wallet, brown.

One key ring, three keys.

Prescription medicine...

Various.

- And... (GRUNTS)

- Erik.

- These.

- Yeah.

Those.

Thank goodness.

Erik.

Yes'?

It's, uh, Darcy.

Darcy.

So good to see you.

Oh, I missed you, too.

How did you find me?

You were naked on TV.

Okay, time to go, lots to do.

Getting weird now.

I should not be left in charge

of stuff like this.

I don't get paid enough.

I don't get paid, period.

I'm Ian by the way, uh, Darcy's intern.

Yeah, I don't get paid either.

Are you all right?

I've had a god in my brain.

- I don't recommend it.

-(BEEPING)

Dr. Selvig, sir,

your gear is beeping at me.

It's happening.

It's sooner than I calculated.

Wait. What's happening?

Birds?

Birds are happening?

They're starlings.

It's called a murmuration.

My dad, he used to take me

bird watching as a kid.

- Nerd.

- Look!

Where did they go?

(DARCY SCREAMING)

(WHIMPERING)

What the hell was that?

Why are you smiling?

There's nothing more reassuring

than realizing that the world

is crazier than you are.

Take me to Jane's lab.

THOR:
Jane.

Malekith.

All right. Are you ready?

I am.

You know, this plan of yours

is going to get us killed.

Yes, possibly.

You still don't trust me, brother?

Would you?

No, I wouldn't.

(GRUNTS)

JANE:
Thor!

No!

You really think I cared about Frigga'?

About any of you?

All I ever wanted

was you and Odin

dead at my feet!

(SCREAMS)

(MOANING)

(GASPS)

Malekith!

I am Loki of Jotunheim,

-and I bring you a gift.

-(JANE GRUNTS)

LOKI:
I ask only one thing in return...

A good seat from which

-to watch Asgard burn.

-(SPEAKING ELVEN LANGUAGE)

He is an enemy of Asgard.

He was a prisoner in their dungeons.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

(THOR GROANING)

Look at me.

(GASPS)

Loki! NOW!

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

Ah!

(GRUNTS)

(THOR GRUNTS)

(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

Ah!

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

-(PANTING)

-(GROWLING)

- Ah!

- No!

(STRAINING)

(GROANS)

(LOKI PANTING)

See you in hell, monster.

(BEEPING)

No. No, no, no.

Oh, you fool, you didn't listen.

I know...

I'm a fool, I'm a fool.

Stay with me, okay?

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Shh...

It's okay.

It's all right.

I'll tell Father what you did here today.

I didn't do it for him.

No!

He's going to unleash it.

Not just on Asgard, or on a star.

Malekith is going to destroy everything.

How'?

Jane, how'?

I saw him on Earth.

Why would he go to Earth?

The Convergence.

Oh, God.

None of this would have happened

if I hadn't found the Aether.

Then Malekith

would've only possessed it

that much sooner.

I only found it

because I was looking for you.

Jane...

Now we're trapped here.

(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

It's not me.

Hello'?

Hi, Jane, it's Richard.

Richard? Where are you'?

I'm still at the office.

It's been a crazy day here today.

- Oh, my God, this is amazing.

-/s it?

I quite enjoyed our lunch

despite never actually

ordering anything.

How am I getting service here?

Is this a bad time?

Do you want me to try you later?

JANE:
No, no, no. Please, whatever

you do, do not hang up the phone.

Okay, then.

I was just wondering

if you want to try again.

Uh, maybe dinner next time.

JANE:
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Just stay on the phone, okay?

- Yeah, I will.

On, my God. (GASPS)

Am I interrupting something?

No, no, no. Nothing at all.

Come on.

I'm losing you there.

Are you in a tunnel?

Where are we going?

RICHARD:
Hello?

Why are there so many shoes in here?

I'll just text her.

(KEYS JANGLING)

(ENGINE STARTING)

-(SIGHS)

-(GEARS GRINDING)

So, who's Richard?

Really?

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKI NG)

- Jane!

- Hey.

You can't just leave like that.

The whole world is going crazy.

All the stuff we saw is spreading.

- Did you go to a party'?

- Erik?

Jane! How wonderful.

Oh!

- You've been to Asgard.

- Where are your pants?

Oh, he, uh...

He says it helps him think.

Okay, well, I'm going to need

everything you got on this.

All the work you've been doing

on gravimetric anomalies, everything.

Okay.

- Are you well, Erik'?

-(LAUGHS)

Your brother's not coming, is he?

Loki is dead.

Oh, thank God!

I... I meant, I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Forgive me, my liege.

I've returned from

the Dark World with news.

Thor'?

There was no sign of Thor,

or the weapon, but...

What?

We found a body.

Loki.

JANE:
Malekith is going to

fire the Aether at a spot

where all the nine worlds

are connecting.

Amplifying the weapon's impact.

For each additional world,

the power will increase exponentially.

The effect would be universal.

But the Alignment is only temporary.

He must be in

exactly the right place at the right time.

Well, how do we know where that is?

We follow the directions.

This has happened before

thousands of years ago,

and the Ancients were there to see it.

All the great constructions,

the Mayans, the Chinese,

the Egyptians.

They made use of the gravitational

effects of the Convergence.

And they left us a map.

Stonehenge,

Snowdon,

the Great Orme.

These are all coordinates taking us...

HGFE.

Greenwich?

The walls between worlds

will be almost non-existent.

Physics is going to go ballistic.

Increases and decreases in gravity,

spatial extrusions.

The very fabric of reality

is going to be torn apart.

I better get my pants.

DARCY:
Focus! This is important.

We have to hammer them in

all around the site

and then Jane and Erik

will activate them from the tower.

-(BEEPING)

- They're taped together.

Do you even know

what these things do'?

Uh... No.

Neither do I.

(JAN E'S SHOES SQUEAKING)

Shh!

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

- Come on, come on, come on!

- Right.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Holy...

IAN:
Sh*t.

Ah!

(CLAMORING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

You needn't have come

so far, Asgardian.

Death would've come to you

soon enough.

Not by your hand.

Your universe was never meant to be.
