Who Do You Trust?

Previously on Avengers. We must move up our timetable. The Kree are coming. Hail HYDRA! What does it mean? It means we got a big problem. Fury was the only one who knew the truth, and he's disappeared. Widow, I don't buy it. - Agent Hill. - Director Hill. I want the Avengers registered and working for SHIELD. 2x07 - Who do you trust? Maria. Relax. We're not going to hurt you. I've got about 90 seconds before SHIELD security detects us, so you need to listen. I'm here to give you a warning. Watch your back. I've been keeping an eye on you, Maria, ever since I left. I'm taking a big risk here. Maybe you're human, maybe you're not. But bottom line, I'm running out of time. If you're human, then the Earth needs you. Everything I know is on there. You can't trust SHIELD. You can't trust the government. Hydra and AIM have been infiltrated, and worst of all, the super-heroes. Everyone has been compromised. I always liked you, Hill. Try and stay alive. Director Hill! Is everything okay? And there came a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, they became the Avengers: The invincible, armored Iron Man, Thor, Prince of Thunder, The Hulk, strongest hero there is, and Captain America, the first Avenger. Assemble, we are strong forever fight as one. Avengers, assemble! Okay. So I'd like to make a toast. Wow. You're really bad at this. Well, I'm really good at you just got fired speeches, Hawkeye, if you catch my drift? I'd like to officially welcome Ms. Marvel to the Avengers. You've been with us two weeks now, and have already saved the planet twice. So we're even considering taking you off probationary status. Considering it. Don't get cocky. I'm just glad there's finally another girl on the team. Hear, hear. Thanks, guys. Really, this means a lot to me. But, uh, do you have someone at the Mansion? You know, in case of random evil? Hmm. We have regular monitor duty assignments. Uh. Hulk is on tonight. And the Black Panther is on Hulk duty. You talk too much. I've been looking for you, Mister Horton. You probably can't even understand me, but I need your help. I need you to do something for me. But the only way you're going to do it is if I give you the worst earache you've ever had in your life. Sorry. This is Quake. Phase one is go. So I joined the Air Force out of high school. They paid for college, but I re-enlisted anyway so I could fly jets. I loved flying jets. What was your squadron name? The hundred and second, the best of the best. Major Carol Danvers, call sign Warbird. They pulled me into Special Investigations not long after. They knew I was a big believer in the law and order. Without rules, we've got nothing. Major? That means she outranks you, old man. And as a SWORD field commander, I outrank you back when you did ops for SHIELD. I like you already, Major. Check, please. Come on, Ms. Marvel, party's over. Time for the after-party. You are way too excited about a giant monster flying down the street. You guys go ahead, I'll catch up once I've got my armor. Make sure the newbie does all the hard work. - Tony, thanks. - Go get 'em, Carol. I'm going to need about The Hulk will tear me apart if I come home without food. You're not going home. This is Widow. I've got him. Wha Widow? What's going on? Where am I? You're in a safe place. You've been out for about 20 minutes. Fury? What's going on here? Where have you been all this time? What's the Black Widow doing here? And where is here? My personal safe house. One of the ones that SHIELD doesn't know about. As to what's going on I'm going to show you. This is a Skrull. A shape shifting alien that can take the appearance of anyone. They're invading Earth. It's already started. Stop. Just Just back up. Start at the beginning. Where did this thing come from? - Uh. Space. - Cute. It was actually because of you Avengers that we found out about the Skrull in the first place. Hawkeye decided to go after the Black Widow against orders. He tracked her to Hydra Island. He didn't know she was working undercover for me at the time. But while the Avengers were messing up months of work Mockingbird took down Madame Viper. When Viper hit the ground, I was going to go back to help your team. But then I saw it. Viper changed, right in front of me. She changed into this. And then Mockingbird did the single most sensible thing that any agent of SHIELD has ever done. She kept it quiet and brought it to me. So if one of these things got inside Hydra At that point, I realized that anyone, anywhere, could be a Skrull. It doesn't make sense. How do you know this? How do you even know this is Skrull? I'm assuming this one isn't talking. Pulled this off it. Some kind of comm device. It's fried, but we've been able to get some data from it. A bunch of hissing, actually, but the word "Skrull" shows up a lot. We've been able to determine that Viper received communications from two locations. One of them was the SHIELD Helicarrier, and the other I've got to get back to my team. Tony. The other communication came from your Mansion. The Avengers have been infiltrated. He's all yours, team. Alright, kitty cat, I don't want to hurt you - We should help. - Why? Did you even read her file? She's as tough as Thor and almost as strong as the Hulk. I'm pretty sure she can handle this. But more importantly, I'm not the low man on the totem pole anymore. She is. Oh. Carol, you're doing it wrong! You're supposed to get out of the way. Yeah, it works better if you tackle the monster, not the other way around. And if it tries to bite you, you should not let it. Are you sure you've done this before? Very funny, you guys. In my day, we gave new recruits a hard time, but nothing like this. In my day it was worse. You're doing great! Watch out for his tail! I get it. That's fine. I'm not afraid of the dirty work. Okay. Let's do this, ugly. Baron Strucker was going to execute us both. They will know, that not even the Avengers can stand against us. But Madame Viper stopped him. She suggested to Strucker they keep Hawkeye alive. We were taken to the dungeons, where they separated us. Why? She said he might be useful. Or she wanted to replace him with a Skrull agent. This is insane. You're saying Hawkeye is one of these these things? I know Hawkeye. I saw Viper every week over the course of a year. The Skrull had her appearance, her voice, yes. But it also had her memories. She was perfect copy in every way. He's a suspect, Tony. That's what we're saying. And how do I know you're not a Skrull? Now you're getting it. I can't Right. Oh man, you guys, you're so lucky. The look on the Griffen's face when he bit down on your leg. Hopefully his teeth will grow back. No one's going to take him seriously like that. I felt bad! He got those big puppy dog eyes, like I yelled at him or something. Well, next time the Hulk gets out of line, we're sending you in. I think you can take him. What's so funny? Nothing. I don't see any food. The Griffen attacked, Hulk. We had to leave dinner early. Sorry, pal. Lucky for you. I was stuck here with him. I'd rather be fighting. What are you looking at? Iron Man. He is standing in the corner, cloaked. Iron Man? Uh. Tony? You in there? What's going on? I just got back from meeting with Nick Fury. And I've got a quick question I need to ask. Is anyone here a shape-shifting alien? What? You saw Nick Fury? Remember when the Kree showed up? Captain Marvel told us how they were at war with an alien race called the Skrulls. Well, the Skrulls are here, and they can look like anyone. And Fury thinks that one of you has been replaced by one. Wait. You're being serious. You've got to be kidding. That's just not possible. We're we're us. We know each other, no one here is some alien imposter. You're holding back. Fury wouldn't have come to you with this if he didn't have someone pegged. You're right. It was you. He said you were the Skrull, Clint. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wasp is right. This is crazy. I've saved this team more times than I can count. I've helped save the world! I'm not some alien. Hawkeye Clint. I need you to come with me. What are you talking about? I may be an Avenger now, but I'm also an Agent of SWORD. This is what we do. If Nick Fury thinks you're one of these Skrulls, I need to bring you in for interrogation. Those are the rules. Don't touch me. Don't make me do this the hard way, Hawkeye. Look, there are rules, and without them You can stuff your rules, Major. I'm not going anywhere with you. Carol, stop this! Hawkeye's one of us. So much for "Avengers, Assemble. " All of you, stop this! We're the Avengers! We're supposed to be better than this. If we can't trust each other, then we've got nothing. T'Challa. It's me, T'Challa. You have to believe me. You know me. Iron Man is correct. If the Skrulls truly are here, any of us could have been replaced at any time. Look at Ant-Man's recent behavior. Who is to say that the Ultron incident was not intentional? Hey! No one truly knows anyone. Not that well. I'm giving you one last chance. Come in with me to SWORD, we'll sort this all out. How about this? If you don't put your arms down, you're gonna lose 'em. Hawkeye's with me. I've earned my place on this team, and I've earned your trust, Stark. You and Ms. Rules here need to back off, right now. I'm sorry, Hawkeye. You're going with Ms. Marvel one way or another. We'll find a way to determine if you're who you say you are. And if you're not a Skrull, then you've got nothing to worry about, right? Yeah? Unless you're a Skrull. Or Ms. Marvel is. Let's everyone just breathe. Everyone just Whoa. She really is that strong. I can't believe you're doing this! We made you an Avenger, we welcomed you in. We trusted you. Do you think this is how I wanted today to go? I have to do this, Jan. This isn't just a hobby for me, this is my duty. Don't do this, Iron Man. I have to. I I can't trust you, any of you. Hulk and Wasp are already shape-changers. Captain America could have been a Skrull from the day we found him. Ms. Marvel was working with an alien when we met her. And Panther Panther was gathering information on all of us, he even hacked Jarvis for our files. And we just blew it off. We don't have any proof, Tony. I saw it. I saw Fury's Skrull with my own eyes. This is happening. If Skrulls really are invading, then the world needs us. The Avengers can fight this. Panther was right to leave. I can't trust any of you. And if we can't trust each other, we can't fight anything. I started this team because I needed people I could count on. And now I can't. The Avengers are over as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a Skrull, and I'm not some flunky for SHIELD. I'm an Avenger. And if you're gonna try and take me in, you'd better be sure. You'd better be sure about all of us. This was supposed to be my welcome party. I can't believe this is happening. We can't let this be the end. Get real. Iron Man was right about one thing. The Avengers are over. No. This is what the enemy wants. To tear us apart with paranoia and mistrust. To win the war without ever firing a shot. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not going to let that happen. Being an Avenger is the only thing I have in this world, and I'm not going to give it up that easy. I'll lead you, if you'll have me. If I leave, it's like admitting I'm guilty. And that's not going to happen. I'm in. I'm not going anywhere. I made a deal. Besides, what's some Skrull going to do to me? Thank you, Cap. I can't believe he just came out and asked them if they were Skrulls. This is a man who kept his secret identity for about five minutes. Why did you think he wouldn't tell them? But I got what I needed. Iron Man's the real deal. Oh, great. Except that by revealing your involvement, he let the Skrulls know that you're on to them. I assume they've always known I was on to them. Iron Man's doing the same thing I did. He's putting the Skrull in a position where he can mess up and reveal himself. So what now? Now we wait. It's the Skrulls' move. My Dora Milaje. Prepare Wakanda for invasion. Ms. Marvel, on approach you said you had a report to file? No. Nothing to report yet. And how did it play out? Exactly as you predicted. Soon, Earth will be ours. As it is written, my Queen. As it is written.
