58 EXT. OUTSIDE OF CRATER - DAY 58

Cars, pick-ups, and SUVs are parked around the crater, the

sound of a BOISTEROUS PARTY coming from within.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 51.

59 EXT. INSIDE OF CRATER 59

It looks like the whole town has turned out. LOCALS sit on

lounge chairs, drink beer from coolers, laugh and talk. They

watch the center of the crater, where LARGE MEN have formed a

line to take a turn with the mysterious object.

One of them struggles and fails to lift it. As he gives up,

the next man steps up and takes his turn, straining from the

effort. Other Townies SNAP PICTURES of the scene with their

cell phones.

They hear an approaching RUMBLE, then clear a path as a large

PICK-UP TRUCK backs its way down the crater's edge. An EAGER

TOWNIE hops out the passenger side and pulls a thick chain

from the back of the truck.

He fastens one end around the object, then securely affixes

the chain to the bumper and the rear of the undercarriage.

EAGER TOWNIE:

This'll do it.

He yells to the driver.

EAGER TOWNIE (CONT'D)

Okay, let 'er rip!

The townsfolk watch as the pick-up's engine ROARS, then

STRAINS, its wheels spinning futilely, until finally the rear

of the truck, along with the back wheels and axles, break off

and go flying.

People dive out of the way.

The PICK-UP DRIVER sticks his head out. He is STAN "THE MAN"

LEE. He looks back, shocked. The townsfolk laugh, the party

continuing. They don't notice as --

ON THE CRATER'S EDGE ABOVE THEM

An imposing GOVERNMENT VEHICLE pulls up to a stop. A Fed in

a suit climbs out, peers down at the boisterous gathering

below, his eyes fixed on the object at the center of the

crater.

He is SHIELD AGENT COULSON. He stares down at the object

which glows with an otherworldly blue energy -- MJOLNIR. He

pulls out a phone.

COULSON:

(INTO PHONE)

Sir -- we've found it.

60 INT. SMITH MOTORS - LAB - DAY 60

In a back room, Thor, now shirtless and wearing jeans, looks

around for a t-shirt.

Jane and Darcy, standing in the lab, can't help but notice

his reflection in the mirror. Darcy eyes his powerful build,

rippling biceps.

DARCY:

You know, for a crazy homeless guy,

he's pretty cut.

Jane turns away. Thor emerges from the back room, holding a

t-shirt.

DARCY (CONT'D)

Hey, sorry I tased you!

Thor heads over to Jane's work area, starts fiddling with the

equipment there with interest. Jane hurries over to put a

stop to it.

JANE:

Excuse me... excuse me!

She leads him away from the work station. Thor holds up the

t-shirt. On the front, it bear a sticker which reads:

"HELLO, MY NAME IS DR. DONALD BLAKE". Thor looks at it,

puzzled. Jane rips the sticker off.

JANE (CONT'D)

My ex.

Thor stares at her a beat.

JANE (CONT'D)

They're the only clothes I had

that'll fit you. Sorry.

THOR:

They will suffice.

Thor turns his attention to the pictures of the Bifrost on

the wall.

JANE:

You're welcome. Now tell me...

Thor studies the frame-grabs with interest. Jane points to

his form in the Bifrost photo.

JANE (CONT'D)

What were you doing, in that?

He glances at it, dismissive.

THOR:

What does anyone do in the Bifrost?

Everyone stares at him. Selvig seems to recognize the word.

Jane opens her notebook, quickly writes the word down. Thor

moves close to her, eyes the notations and drawings within

the book, curious.

SELVIG:

(amused, skeptical)

The Bifrost...

Jane starts to get uncomfortable with Thor standing so close

to her, looking over her notations. She quickly closes the

book.

JANE:

What exactly is the Bifrost?

THOR:

(IGNORING HER)

This mortal form has grown weak.

JANE:

BUT--

JANE (CONT'D)

Somebody get the mortal a Pop-Tart.

61 INT. ODIN'S CHAMBERS - DAY 61

Frigga sits at her husband's bedside, holding his hand. Odin

lies there -- looking pale and lifeless, his body and the

space around it warped from the effect of the Odinsleep. The

walls of the chamber have moved close around him, protecting

him like a dark crypt, sealing off any daylight.

Loki sits at Odin's side, across from Frigga. She speaks

softly to him.

FRIGGA:

I asked him to be honest with you

from the beginning. There should

be no secrets in a family.

LOKI:

So why did he lie?

FRIGGA:

He kept the truth from you so that

you would never feel different.

You are in every way our son, Loki,

and we your family. You must know

that.

Loki takes this in, stares at Odin.

FRIGGA (CONT'D)

(RE:
ODIN)

You can speak to him. He can see

and hear us, even now.

LOKI:

How long will it last?
