Welcome to Avengers mansion, your new home.
Sounds good. [grunts]
So if we're home now,
why do we have to wear our action suits?
Because we're Avengers 24-7.
You all moved in, Vision?
I have no possessions to move, and this is my only suit.
[beeping]
Come on, Ant-Man. You call that a uniform?
Wait. Aren't you moving in too?
Relax, Wasp. My movers are already on the job.
Ew!
Black Panther, where do we keep the bug spray?
Hey, you do not spray my pet ants.
Especially the big one.
What do you mean, "big one"?
[gasps]
No, no, no, no-- Uh-uh. No. Mm-mm. No.
What? Anthony's house-trained. [chittering]
For the most part.
The insects' hive mentality is very efficient
when completing team-oriented tasks.
The idea that you have taken an ant as a companion intrigues me.
Maybe we should get you a calculator for a pet.
A little version of you to boss around.
If you get a pet, you have to take care of it.
So, what, change the batteries?
Baby steps here, Marvel.
I meant her, Ms. Marvel. Not you, Captain Marvel.
By the way, whose idea was it to have two heroes named Marvel on the same team?
I picked my name because of Captain Marvel.
Yeah. It's confusing.
♪♪ [tune chiming through speaker device]
That is the Wakandan national anthem,
and also the door chime.
But we are not expecting guests.
Defense systems didn't trigger.
Must be a friendly.
Captain America! You're alive!
What happened to you? Are the rest of the Avengers with you?
[Wasp] We thought you were dead.
[grunts] [gasps]
Vision, what are you doing?
Stand clear.
Captain America must be destroyed.
Vision, stop!
[grunting]
[grunts]
[Wasp] What? [Ms. Marvel] No!
What have you done? [Ant-Man] Cap!
This isn't Captain America. It's some kind of robot.
And only Vision could see through its disguise.
Apologies, friend.
I should have communicated the danger.
Perhaps I was too enthusiastic. No. You did good.
Always trash a robot pretending to be a friend.
Any idea what it is?
It is a Red Skull-Bot, obviously.
Obviously.
And how do we obviously know this?
[Black Panther] Red Skull frequently
uses doubles of himself as decoys and bodyguards.
This automaton was not armed or equipped with explosive devices.
So it wasn't set to attack us.
Then why would Red Skull send it?
Once we hunt down Red Skull, we'll get our answers,
and some payback.
[disgusted groan]
Hydra-frequency comm device.
Its transmissions can be traced.
[beeping] [Black Panther] There.
Satellite is picking up an uncharted island, straight ahead.
Skull Island. Ah, so cool!
I bet it even looks like a skull.
[groans]
Hey, where's Vision?
He was back there tinkering with that Skull-Bot.
Thing's creepy, if you ask me.
[German accent] You were not asked, Avenger.
[loud gasp]
[grunts] [groans]
Hold, friends. This Skull-Bot means no harm.
[both] Huh?
As I repaired him,
I decided he could be... my pet.
[Black Panther, Ms. Marvel, Wasp] Your pet?
I will clean up after it.
Makes sense. No, it doesn't.
What if that thing tries to kill us?
Uh, yeah! It's patterned after Red Skull.
You know he's tried to destroy the Avengers no less than eight times, right?
I am aware of the threat, so I put behavioral limits on Skully's programming.
You named it Skully?
I find that designation offensive.
I will see you all meet your doom.
Preferably a fiery und painful one.
Skully may talk like the Red Skull, but he will not act like him.
Can I keep him?
[Ant-Man] Aw! That doesn't look like a skull at all.
So much for branding. You sure this is the place?
Skull's transmissions are coming from these coordinates.
[alarm beeping]
Excellent. We have incoming.
How is that a good thing?
Because it means this is definitely the place.
Everybody hold on to something.
That first wave is coming around.
Activating countermeasures. [beeping]
How about we use Red Skull's tactics against him? You know?
Skull impersonated one of our friends to get in our house.
Let's do it to him. Make it happen.
I'll buy us time.
Oh, the indignity.
My retribution will be swift und terrible.
[beeps] Amplifying Skully's frequency,
we should be scanned as a friendly.
[Captain Marvel] We're out of time.
[beeps]
[beeping]
Yeah! Way to go, Skully!
Cease your celebrating!
I did not have a choice.
I reprogrammed you to avoid evil,
but you are not a mindless slave.
You always have a choice.
[Ant-Man] At least it'll make sneaking around easier.
You can come with us, Skully, or you can stay here and do nothing.
It's your choice.
Stay alert. Be ready for anything.
[Ant-Man] Okay. Wasn't ready for nothing.
I found something.
[Wasp] Skully's brothers. Hundreds of 'em.
Insolent fools! These are not my brothers.
I have a higher intelligence capacity.
These are attack Sleepers that will awaken only when summoned by Herr Skull.
Speaking of, where is gruesome?
Where he has been for some time-- the detention block.
Come this way, und meet your demise.
[blow lands]
Skully was on the level.
Red Skull. Locked in his own jail.
It took you long enough, 627.
Apologies, Herr Skull.
But these Avengers are worse than-- Silence!
[grunts]
Avengers, release me from this shell.
There is no time to explain.
Oh, we have a little time.
The computer I built to defend this base, Skull-Net,
achieved sentience and falsely calculated itself superior to me.
Yeah, pretty humiliating to get taken down by your own creation.
Quite the contrary... [grunts] Ant-Man.
Skull-Net's evolution is a testament to my genius.
And even then, I have outsmarted my creation.
Skull-Net activated 627 to care for me,
but I secretly reprogrammed it to fetch you.
Why would you think we would break you out?
Because you need me.
To stop Skull-Net from awakening my Sleeper army.
[Skull-Net] Too late, master.
[powering up]
[multiple Skull-Bots powering up]
Skull-Net has awakened the Sleepers
to destroy the Avengers.
[Sky-Net] Skull-drones, attack!
Eye lasers? That's new.
Why didn't your pet tell us they could do that? We did not ask.
[grunts]
[yells] [yells]
You'll never defeat them, Avengers,
unless you know their weakness,
which I will provide in exchange for my freedom.
Ms. Marvel, grab him, and let's go.
I'll clear a path.
[grunts]
[yells]
[grunting]
[Red Skull] The Skull-Bots cannot all be awakened at once.
Prevent the majority from activating, and you have a chance.
Split up. Ant-Man, Ms. Marvel, Wasp,
take the ones not awake yet.
We will put the others back to sleep.
[Black Panther yells]
Because there weren't enough things shooting at us. [grunts]
[grunting] Trying to sneak away?
Gotcha! [grunts]
Skully, do not let him escape.
Aah!
Vision, are you sure about this?
I trust him. You shouldn't.
I would betray you if my programming permitted it.
He's just saying that.
I am not! [growls]
[grunting]
I can do this.
[Ant-Man, Wasp grunting]
I will deal with Skull-Net.
[grunts]
You and Skull-Net are more alike than different, android.
Tools created by man but superior to him.
Your claim of being superior is a flaw.
Building equal relationships is more important.
You took Skull-Bot 627 as a companion
because he is like you.
Unite with machine-kind. We will prevail.
One race with a single mind and a single vision.
Join us.
You cannot force me to join you, Skull-Net.
Loyalty is earned by friendship.
If you require friendship,
you are irrelevant and will be destroyed. [grunts]
[grunting]
Everybody move!
Skully!
You must have a faulty logic circuit
to risk yourself saving me.
This is what Avengers do-- save others.
How dare you lay your hands on--
[screaming] Ow!
Your pet needs to be quiet now.
So much for Skull's world destruction.
I'm pretty sure it was domination.
[Ms. Marvel] No. He was gonna wreck the world.
[sighs] Settle a bet, Big Red.
What were you going to do with your army?
Destroy the world, or take it over?
Take it over if I won, destroy it if I lost.
Unfortunately, your victory over my army was necessary
to slow down Skull-Net.
What do you mean, "slow down"?
Skull-Net still lives.
You broke it here, but the mainframe computer
is in another location, southwest of Paris.
Oh, let me guess. Castle Red Skull.
Hydra Base Number 24.
Ugh. You are so boring.
Prisoner to the likes of you.
This is humiliating.
[angry groan]
Skull-Net's mainframe is within that tower.
[Captain Marvel] I think you hear me knockin'!
This must be another Sleeper.
One you would be wise to keep from awakening.
The mainframe is there.
[Ms. Marvel] Whoa! Creepy junk.
And we're here to take out the trash.
[Skull-Net] Defenses activate. Skull-Bots attack.
[Ant-Man] More Skull-Bots?
I hope you bought these in bulk.
[yells]
[whirring] [timer beeping]
Trying to pull a fast one when we're not looking?
[grunts] Not happening, Skull! [grunts]
The machines will rise to overcome your kind.
When the countdown reaches zero,
[beeping continues] the Sleeper will awaken.
Not today. [grunts]
Panther, take Skull-Net offline. [yells]
[distorted] System failure...
And down goes Skull-Net.
You owe us big, Red Skull.
[grunts] [thud]
[Red Skull] Indeed, I do.
Now with Skull-Net offline,
there is only one left to command my Sleepers--
me!
You won't find these Sleepers so easy to stop.
[Ant-Man] Wait. Did he say "Sleepers"?
Plural? Like, more than one? [thunderous footstep]
[Red Skull] Omega Skulls, destroy the Avengers!
[sinister laughter]
[Red Skull] Earth's mightiest heroes are dead and buried.
Now follow me, Omega Skulls.
My revenge has only begun.
[grunts]
My creator has outsmarted you... again.
Your creator left you here to be destroyed. Don't you care?
It is his nature.
I am merely a Skull-Bot.
Thought you said you had a higher intelligence capacity than your brothers.
Vision, get us a location on the Red Skull.
[Vision] The three Omega Skull-Bots are converging on Paris.
[Wasp] Then so are we.
Come on, Skully! [yells]
[Captain Marvel] We're the last line of defense.
Can't let him reach the city.
[grunts]
Vision! He might have been damaged!
Wow. I think you're starting to care.
We're in trouble.
[Vision] Emergency exit, at your service.
[thud] [grunts]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[yells]
Panther! [grunts]
They don't build 'em like that anymore.
Won't be easy to stop. We do not have a choice.
[grunts]
Well, that didn't work. Got any other ideas?
No, but we have to come up with something, and quick!
We need to find a way to hack that robot.
Despite its enhanced weapons, the Omega is structurally similar in design
to Skull's smaller doubles.
It may share any design flaws. Skully?
Our design is without flaw.
Oh, fine.
The arm and leg joints require additional maintenance.
Arthritis! Yes! [grunts]
You are a traitor, number 627.
You were my servant, my creation,
yet you betrayed me.
I helped those who helped me.
You never gave me a choice.
Vision did.
Spare me your sentimental drivel.
Ugh!
Avengers, we have a Skull-Bot weakness.
Go for the joints.
[grunts]
[straining]
[grunts]
I think that worked.
[creaking]
This joint-weakness thing isn't doing it!
Whoa! [grunts]
I have an idea. Keep it shooting at you.
Wait. What kind of plan is that?
[grunts]
Okay, it's shooting at me!
And it's still shooting at me!
[grunts] Sabotage!
[crash]
Nice plan.
[Red Skull] You're too late, Avengers.
[Ant-Man] Uh-oh.
[Vision] They appear to be consolidating their generators.
Sensors indicate the generators in his Omega Sleepers
are going to release an electromagnetic pulse.
I calculate his EMP will destroy any electrical system
within 4,000 kilometers.
Including you and I.
Behold my instrument of revenge.
If Hydra cannot have Paris, no one can. [beeping]
The generators will overload in less than a minute.
If that happens, the blast will trap Red Skull too.
Unless...
he bugs out.
Break that shield!
You will fail if you attempt it.
Only another Skull-Bot might get through the shield.
Only... me.
Would that work? [Wasp] If Skully disrupts the charge-up, it might.
To stop the detonation protocol,
you would have to insert yourself into the circuit.
Your form would not survive.
You said I had a choice.
I choose to do it.
Number 627, you are no pet. You are my friend.
Remember me... as Skully.
Good-bye, Skully.
Aahh!
[screaming]
[beeping]
[growls]
They could not have-- Huh? [knocking on window]
Mm.
What are you looking at?
Gotta hand it to you, T'Challa. This is some good Avengers HQ right here.
I am glad you feel welcome,
and that everything is back to normal.
It's not for all of us.
Aw. Poor guy misses Skully.
[Ant-Man sighs] Losing a pet is the worst.
But the good memories stay with you forever. [chittering]
I get the feeling Vision's gonna be okay.
