4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 3A.

The SUV lurches.

6 EXT. DESERT 6

Winds HOWL around the SUV now. Up ahead, spiraling down from

out of the clouds comes --

AN ENORMOUS TORNADO

Suffuse with the strange rainbow light, ROARING like a

thousand freight trains as it touches down.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 4.

7 INT. SUV 7

Selvig looks up through the still-open sunroof at the

enormous glowing funnel cloud with wonder. Jane clambers

into the front seat, beside Darcy. She leans way out the

window, TAPING the storm.

JANE:

You've gotta get us closer so I can

take a magnetic reading.

Darcy laughs.

DARCY:

Yeah, right! Good one!

(then, realizing)

Oh God, you're serious...

JANE:

You want those college credits or

not?

8 EXT. SUV 8

The SUV tears across a field towards the tornado, Jane

leaning out the window, taping the event. The SUV disturbs

two RAVENS perched on a cactus as they race past. The birds

take flight, when -- KRAKABOOM! A huge BOLT OF LIGHTNING

strikes down through the center of the funnel cloud before

them with a terrifying intensity.

9 INT. SUV 9

The SUV rocks from the blast. Darcy's had enough. She turns

the wheel, starts to head away.

DARCY:

Keep the credits. I'll intern at

Burger King.

JANE:

What are you doing?!

DARCY:

Saving our lives!

Jane grabs the wheel, jerks it hard the other way. They

struggle for control, when the headlights fall on --

A MAN:

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 5.

Directly in their path, stumbling through the winds. Darcy

slams on the brakes, Jane turns the wheel hard to avoid him.

The SUV swerves -- but too late.

10 EXT. BIFROST LANDING SITE (EARTH) 10

The side of the SUV slams into the man with a THUD, sending

him flying. The car SKIDS to a stop.

11 INT. SUV 11

Jane, Darcy, and Selvig trade shocked looks, breathing hard.

They peer through the dust clouds, unable to see through.

A paralyzed moment, then they all leap out of the car.

12 EXT. BIFROST LANDING SITE (EARTH) 12

The three race from the SUV with flashlights. Jane spots the

man lying on the ground. He's dressed in tattered clothing,

charred and blackened.

DARCY:

I think that was legally your

fault.

JANE:

Get the first aid kit.

Darcy heads back inside the SUV as Jane, concerned, kneels

next to the man. Selvig hovers, protectively.

She gently turns his head to the light, and we see him

clearly for the first time. He is magnificently handsome,

long blonde hair flowing around his classically sculpted

features. She cups her hands around his face, as if willing

the life back into him.

JANE (CONT'D)

Come on, big guy. Do me a favor

and don't be dead, okay? Open your

eyes and look at me.

Suddenly, he GROANS, and she's startled, then relieved, as

his eyes flutter open. She looks deep into his confused,

azure eyes, which at last focus on her own. Locking onto

them.

For a moment, they each forget to breathe.

The connection is broken as Darcy returns with the kit. She

freezes when she sees how gorgeous the man is.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 5A.

DARCY:

Wow. Does he need CPR? Because I

know CPR.

A flustered Jane smooths her hair and sits back on her heels.

She looks up at Selvig. Back to being a scientist.

JANE:

HIS EYES--

DARCY:

(DREAMILY)

--are beautiful.

JANE:

--are dilating. That's a good

sign.

SELVIG:

We still have to get him to a

hospital.

JANE:

(HOPEFULLY)

After we get a reading on the

storm?

SELVIG:

Immediately, Jane.

Jane sighs and nods, regretfully watching the storm EVAPORATE

above their heads. A thought strikes her.

JANE:

Where did he come from?

They exchange puzzled looks, as we move up through the last

glowing remnants of the storm, and into:

13 EXT. SPACE 13

EARTH spins slowly before us as we hear a voice, deep and

resonant -- the voice of HEIMDALL, Gatekeeper of Asgard.

HEIMDALL (V.O.)

Questions, they've always asked

questions -- this race called man,

on this planet they call earth.

Passionately longing to know how

they are connected to the heavens.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 6.

We pull away from the planet, widening, past other worlds,

cosmic debris -- leaving first our solar system, then our

galaxy.

HEIMDALL (V.O.) (CONT'D)

In ages past, they looked to us as

gods, for indeed so many times we

saved them from calamity. We tried

to show them how their world was

but one of the Nine Realms of the

Cosmos, linked to all others by the

branches of Yggdrasil...

We pull back until we see it -- YGGDRASIL. Immense,

sprawling, like a quasar or a nebula twisted into the vague

shape of a TREE, its branches of glowing energy stretching

out into the black void of space.

HEIMDALL (V.O.) (CONT'D)

...the Worlds Tree. Nine Realms in

a universe of wonder, beauty, and

terror that they barely

comprehended.

We move in through Yggdrasil, until we reach what looks like

a galaxy, slowly spinning before us.
