4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 32.

But the force of the blast also cracks the ice below, the

shockwave continuing to spread outwards. It moves out to

where his comrades are running, breaking up the ground

beneath them, exposing the black void of space below.

VOLSTAGG (CONT'D)

What's Thor done?

LOKI:

Likely killed us all!

As the Jotuns race towards the Asgardians, they open their

mouths wide and breathe out an ICY FOG. The swirling mists

quickly engulf the fleeing Asgardians before them.

The Asgardians stand in the mist, unable to see. Hogun takes

a step back, the ice cracking beneath him. They dare not

move, for fear of falling through, into the void below.

Thor sees he's put his friends in even greater danger. He

raises Mjolnir high, SUMMONING THE WINDS. They lift him off

the ground and carry him across the frozen wasteland to his

comrades.

35A EXT. BIFROST LANDING SITE (JOTUNHEIM) - DAY 35A

Thor lands beside his comrades in the shroud of mists.

THOR:

Loki, we have to see.

Loki raises his arms, concentrates, the mists dissipating.

But as they do, the Asgardians see before them the faces of

the Frost Giants. And there are HUNDREDS of them -- too

many, even for a Thunder God.

VOLSTAGG:

(TO LOKI)

Actually, could you bring the mists

back, please?

Thor realizes that he and his comrades are as good as dead.

The Giants move in for the kill, when they hear a deafening

ROAR. A hole in the sky opens up, and the Bifrost blasts

down onto the inner edge of the planet. Out of the maelstrom

comes the sound of THUNDERING HOOVES, and, to the shock of

all, tearing across the frozen wasteland comes --

ODIN ALLFATHER:

Astride his powerful, eight-legged steed SLEIPNIR. He's clad

in battle armor, Gungnir in his hand -- an imposing sight.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 32A.

The Giants part in fear as he thunders into their ranks,

stopping before Laufey and the Asgardians.

Laufey slams his fists into the ground, and the ice beneath

his feet raises him towards Odin. The Asgardians start to

react, thinking it's an attack, but Laufey just stands face-

to-face with Odin.

Asgardian and Jotun alike look on uneasily, unsure what's

about to happen.

Laufey sizes up Odin, notices that as powerful as the

Allfather still is, the years have taken their toll. He's

not the foe he once was. The two rulers talk quietly, out of

earshot of the others.

ODIN:

Laufey. End this.

LAUFEY:

Your boy sought this out.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 33.

ODIN:

You're right. These are the

actions of a boy. Treat them as

such. You and I can stop this

before there's further bloodshed.

Unseen by Odin and the others, Laufey starts to form an ice

blade at the end of his arm.

LAUFEY:

We are beyond diplomacy now,

Allfather. He'll get what he came

for -- war and death.

Odin looks grim, determined.

ODIN:

So be it.

Without warning, Laufey swings his ice blade at Odin, but

Odin is quicker. The Allfather brings his spear down upon

the ice. Laufey and the nearest Jotuns go falling backwards

in a wave, the ice cracking beneath their feet.

The other Frost Giants turn tail and run. Thor watches the

fleeing Jotuns with delight.

THOR:

Now! We'll finish them together!

ODIN:

Silence!

Odin raises his spear. The hole in the sky opens, the

Bifrost energy blasting forth from it. The Bifrost envelops

the Asgardians, yanks them off the ground and up through the

hole. The vortex closes behind them as all falls silent.

Laufey stares up after them contemptuously.

36 INT. HEIMDALL'S OBSERVATORY - DAY 36

Heimdall stands at the Observatory controls. Odin pulls

Heimdall's sword from the control panel and throws it to him.

Heimdall backs away.

THOR:

Why did you bring us back?

ODIN:

Do you realize what you've done?

What you've started?

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 33A.

THOR:

I was protecting my home.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 34.

ODIN:

You cannot protect your friends.

How can you hope to protect a

kingdom?

Odin turns to the others.

ODIN (CONT'D)

(RE:
FANDRAL)

Get him to the healing room!

Sif, Volstagg, and Hogun hurry to help Fandral out of the

room.

THOR:

There won't be a kingdom to protect

if you're afraid to act!

Odin stares at him.

THOR (CONT'D)

Whatever the cost, the world must

know that the new King of Asgard

will not be held in contempt.

ODIN:

That's pride and vanity that talks!

Not leadership! Have you forgotten

everything I've taught you? What

of a warrior's patience, cunning?

THOR:

While you wait and be patient, the

Nine Realms laugh at us! The old

ways are done. You'd stand giving

speeches while Asgard falls!

ODIN:

You're a vain, greedy, cruel boy!
