Loki (2021) - Season 1 Edit

A bad memory prison? How quaint.

A bit of both. I suspect the same as you.

A cathedral. A candy box.

A Citadel at the End of Time.

A creature...

A desperate attempt at control.

A desperate play for control.

A detour.

A double cross by history's most reliable liar.

A few questions.

A footnote to my ascent.

A Frost Giant of Jotunheim.

A fugitive Variant's been killing our Minutemen.

A fugitive Variant's been killing our Minutemen.

A god.

A hundred percent. I mean, totally. Yeah

A lot more than you, I assure you. But never at the expense of the mission.

A pity the old woman chose to die, don't you think?

A Queen of Asgard.

A regular person?

A ruler, a conqueror.

A sampling of your greatest hits, if I may.

A series of restricted files from the archives.

A swing and a miss.

A trait that I, the God of Mischief,

A type we should all be very familiar with,

A variant of myself lived on Earth in the 31st century.

A variation of this guy.

A villain. (SIGHS)

A void at the end of time.

A, because I see a scared little boy, shivering in the cold.

About that.

About that...

Absolutely not, you have the wrong person.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not. She's just too dangerous.

Across all of existence at the behest of three space lizards,

After all this time?

After all your struggle,

After I faked my death, I simply drifted in space.

After you.

AGENT: Hand over the case, Stark.

Ah, brain freeze!

Ah, I see. So, when they're finished, what happens then?

Ah, Sylvie.

Ah, yes. Thank you very much.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah. Hello, which one of us are you?

AKA Earth.

Alioth is like any animal.

Alioth.

All I had to do was manage the flow of time

All I know is, I got pruned and I woke up here,

All I know...

All I seek is a deeper understanding of the fearsome God of Mischief.

All I'm suggesting is we just take a minute to think about it.

All Minutemen to armory.

All Minutemen to armory.

All of it.

All of us were arrested by the TVA and pruned, just like you.

All right, how does it work?

All right, I will see you later on.

All right, well, what's your plan, then?

All right, well... Slow down, Variant.

All right.

All right. Now you're the king of Midgard, then what?

All right. You relax your way and I'll relax mine.

All signs point to another ambush.

All so that others can achieve their best versions of themselves.

All that time, I really believed we were the good guys.

All the food and supplies you need.

All the scheming, all the...

All the stuff the TVA didn't know about, I knew.

All these questions, what are you getting at?

All those years on the run.

ALL: He's a Loki!

Allowing time to heal all its wounds.

Almost as cowardly as working for the TVA.

Almost more than any other Variant.

Along with the Variant that I got you permission to bring in here.

Always so perceptive about everyone but yourself.

Always.

Always.

Always.

Am I dead?

Am I getting warm?

Amen

Amen.

An audience with the Time Keepers is on the table?

An exact facsimile of one's own body in its present circumstance,

An obvious anachronism.

ANALYST 1: Temporal lock.

ANALYST 1: There's nothing, sir.

ANALYST 2: Wherever they are, I'm not sure anything survives.

And a glass of wine, and I never thought about it again,

And a reasonable man cannot differ.

And Alioth,

And am I not your mother?

And annihilate the others.

And as soon as I turn that TemPad back on,

And as soon as that created a big enough detour from the Sacred Timeline,

And do in fact possess what many cultures would call a soul.

And do whatever he wants, and we wouldn't know!

And don't be afraid to really lean into this work.

And don't call me "Variant."

And erased your memories.

And everything gets ruined eventually.

And finding out who's behind all of this.

And he discovered that there were universes stacked on top of his own.

And he rightly believes that together we can overthrow and rule the TVA.

And he wants to offer you a deal.

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

And he's gotta be larger than life

And he's worked it out so we can reinsert both of y'all back into the Timeline

And here I was worried that they'd found a better version of me.

And hiding out in doomsdays to cover his tracks.

And how will saving him get us closer to who's really behind the TVA?

And how's betraying us gonna get you any closer to the Time Keepers?

And hurry up,

And I always will be. All right, I get it.

And I am burdened with glorious purpose.

And I assume you mean... Me?

And I can't be trusted.

And I could also... Set fire to the palace.

And I could do anything I wanted.

And I could go down to Asgard

And I could return and eliminate them for you.

And I didn't want to see anything happen to you.

And I don't think he was lying. Not about that.

And I ended... I ended the Multiversal War.

And I guess I'm wondering why does someone with so much range just wanna rule?

And I have the rest, uh, right here.

And I know why I did it.

And I remember. I was there. Anything else?

And I see the clowns are playing their parts to perfection.

And I suppose it's...

And I think I've had my fill of idiots in armored suits telling me what to do,

And I think if I can get close enough to it, I can enchant it,

And I wondered if he missed me, if anybody else did.

And I'll put you in a time loop.

And I'll tell you whatever I need to tell you.

And I'm glad they're on our side.

And I'm just lucky that the chaos I emerged into gave me all this...

And I'm older.

And I've seen it all.

And if anyone gives us any trouble...

And if they are,

And if you see a Loki, prune it.

And if you think I'm evil, well,

And if you wanna save her, you need to trust me.

And in that scheme, I see myself.

And it happens again and again and again because it's supposed to,

And it occurred to me that everywhere I went,

And it's gonna take me to whoever's behind all of this.

And it's gonna take me to whoever's behind all of this.

And it's my job to catch you up before you stand trial for your crimes.

And it's not.

And it's real because I believe it's real.

And just like you, we all stood around making bad plans that went nowhere.

And just who are you?

And knowing what I now know about his tactics,

And my methods are deceptive.

And never count the cost

And no one good is ever truly good.

And no two are alike.

And now I'm surrounded by Variants of myself, plus an alligator,

And now we're running from God knows what to God knows where.

And now you're just gonna sit there with all that freedom and...

And of course, the collapse of society in the face of annihilation.

And prevent any further branches.

And reset charge is gone.

And right now, I believe she's our only chance of stopping the TVA.

And set time back on its predetermined path.

And she needs me.

And she tries to hit me all the time.

And simply stops.

And so on and so forth, until eventually, a new timeline branches. Yes?

And so that's where I grew up,

And thank you for joining us, here at the castle.

And that planet is about to crash into us.

And that point was about...

And that's a theory I don't wanna test.

And that's not who I am anymore

And that's the gambit.

And that's where we hatched our plan together.

And the collapse of reality as we know it.

And then I'd finally be happy.

And then maybe I can give you something you want.

And then she took me to one of her apocalypses

And then the Time Keepers came along and saved us all.

And then they show up and just prune my cart,

And then what, kill every guard and hijack the train?

And then you could just wake me when we arrive. Yeah?

And then you sent me to die. What happened to you?

And then, give me your... How do I put it?

And then, it shall be so.

And there are a great many, you're the biggest.

And there's nothing necessary about that.

And they want you there, too.

And they're all from you.

And they're all set on war. We need to prepare.

And this guy kept saying he was gonna turn me into a fish,

And this is all based on a theory from the Variant

And this is not the best of circumstances.

And this is the last chance you're gonna get with this Loki.

And this is what I do.

And this.

And until we figure out what's going on, that is what it will get.

And us as an alligator.

And was infiltrating the TVA, was that always sort of the grand plan?

And we meet in peace at the end of time.

And we're gonna put you back where you belong.

And what do these do?

And what else she saw when she was with the Variant.

And what have we always wanted?

And what precisely is there to think about?

And when I do, it'll be because I did it.

And when it does, I'll dispose of her.

And whenever one of us dares try to fix themselves,

And while he's busy with that, we can sneak around the back and...

And who are you?

And who is he?

And who knows, my friend.

And who knows? Maybe there's something that we missed.

And who raised you?

And why do you get to keep all the trophies from my cases in here?

And why does that change anything?

And why is that?

And worth fighting for.

And y'all can live the lives you've always wanted.

And yet it was your idea to bring in another one.

And you call me a magician.

And you can believe whichever one you want.

And you can have it all, together.

And you intend to betray them at some point.

And you kinda feel bad for that ice runt.

And you need the God of Mischief to help you stop him?

And you need the God of Mischief to help you stop him?

And you suffer a crisis of faith and turn to those Variants?

And you think you send them to Thor.

And you threw it all away on a couple of Lokis.

And you won't be able to answer until the synapses have melted.

And you'll be seen by the next available attendant.

And, eventually, we'll catch the other one doing the same thing.

And, hey, if it doesn't work, I'll delete him myself.

And, uh, cards on the table,

Annihilating entire realities, orphaning little girls,

ANNOUNCER: All Minutemen to armory.

ANNOUNCER: All ticketed passengers...

ANNOUNCER: Five minutes until launch.

ANNOUNCER: Five minutes until launch.

ANNOUNCER: My lords, my ladies, welcome

ANNOUNCER: Ten minutes until launch.

Another manipulation.

Another!

ANT MAN: You haven't heard of me.

Any news on C 20?

Any second now.

Any time in history? There's, like, a million of 'em.

Anyone.

Anything goes sideways, it's on you.

Anything we do can create a huge branch.

Anything we do can impact the course of history.

Anything?

Anyway, it got me thinking...

Apex of nexus signature located, ma'am.

Apocalyptic natural disasters and...

Apologies, my liege.

Appears to be a standard sequence violation.

Approach the bench.

Are we sure he's even still alive?

Are you a recording? Or are you alive?

Are you going to call your little friends for help? (CHUCKLES)

Are you guilty or not guilty, sir?

Are you sure she was your mother?

Are you sure you're a Loki?

Are you taking me somewhere to kill me?

Aren't you gonna beg for your life?

Aren't you gonna tell me not to kick the door in?

Aren't you supposed to be interrogating your Variant pet?

As if you're the divine arbiters of power in the universe.

As if you're the divine arbiters of power in the universe.

As promised, the Variants.

Asgard, mystical realm, beyond the stars.

Asgard, the Nine Realms.

Assuming you do get back to the TVA,

Assurances that I won't be completely disintegrated

At last, you've arrived before us.

At least my nexus event wasn't eating the wrong neighbor's cat.

At the end, it is only He Who Remains.

At the same time, other versions of us were learning the same thing.

Au contraire.

Away from Thor, away from everything.

Azaleas are half off.

B 15, come in. What's your status?

B 15, do you copy?

B 15, what is your status?

Back here again.

Back in your cage.

Back to my timeline.

Basically, the branched timeline isn't reset.

Be free, my horned friends, be free!

Because I approve the missions.

Because I could do anything.

Because I couldn't create a diverging branch there, right?

Because I wanna know who's at the top of this.

Because I'm not supposed to exist.

Because I'm...

Because I've had to.

Because if you think too hard about where any of us came from,

Because it has to.

Because it looks like you're the superior Loki.

Because it was just a bit of fun.

Because it's part of the illusion.

Because Lokis survive. That's just what we do.

Because the apocalypse is coming.

Because the nexus event the two of you caused,

Because the timeline's not gonna branch.

Because the TVA has pruned a lotta these guys,

Because they're awesome.

Because understanding this Loki helps me get closer

Because we both know you love to talk.

Because we, my friends, have but one part to play,

Because we're the same!

Because whoever this Variant is, we haven't been able to find him.

Because you can't trust...

Because, uh...

Been a long journey for you, hasn't it?

Before Ragnarok causes its complete destruction

Before she even fought for them.

Before she joined the TVA?

Besides, it's a better metaphor. He's overly sensitive like the rest of us.

Better hurry. Timeline's already branching.

Big metaphor guy. I love it.

Bird noises?

BLACK PANTHER: Wakanda forever!

BOASTFUL LOKI: Glorious purpose!

BOASTFUL LOKI: It's a living tempest that consumes matter and energy.

Boots on the ground now. Archives.

Both of us...

Both of you are swooning over each other.

Bourbon and soda?

Brain freeze associated with coldness... Got it.

Branch is growing at a stable rate and slope.

Branches rapidly forming at a slope...

Breathe, breathe.

Bringing peace by reorganizing the multiverse into a single timeline,

Brute force is no substitute for diplomacy and guile.

Buddy...

Burn it to the ground.

But after eight to ten seconds of consideration,

But approaching Alioth is a death sentence.

But as soon as I took my first steps to getting off the planet,

But bear in mind, I'm very full.

But because you know this Variant is better than you and you can't take it.

But blades are worthless in the face of a Loki sorcery.

But by the time she got in here, she could barely speak.

But feeling all that pain in real time.

But here's what we did find out.

But how do I already have it loaded up with everything I need to know

But I can assure you,

But I don't know you.

But I need assurances.

But I'm downloadin' the files you need now.

But I'm not gonna get very far if you keep trying to kill me.

But I'm not you.

But if they want me to find Loki and the Variant,

But if you blow up, it blows up, and then I end up blown up.

But in the early 1990s, for a brief, shining moment,

But instead, you send them...

But it's definitely you two.

But it's... it's not as simple as a name.

But Loki is an evil, lying scourge.

But maybe I can offer you something better.

But maybe I can offer you something better.

But not just there.

But now I have no idea.

But now I see you lack vision.

But now, we, you...

But sometimes, people like you veer off the path the Time Keepers created.

But that thing out there does.

But that's kind of what's great about her.

But that's not what I want. I have a new purpose.

But the mission, it never was.

But the Variant scares the hell out of me,

But then, the all knowing Time Keepers emerged,

But they turned out to be fake, in case you forgot.

But ultimately, when you reach for it...

But we could use a TemPad.

But we don't die.

But what if by taking him out,

But what if it's a necessary one?

But which kind of Loki, remains unknown.

But while he marinates, I thought maybe I'd interview the other Variant.

But you already knew that.

But you did manage to hang on.

But you do like to lie, which you just did.

But you feel free to take a nap.

But you nearly took down the organization that claims to govern the order of time.

But you will be unless you come with us.

But, don't worry,

But, no, I don't remember an alligator.

But, nothing ever...

But, would you say, maybe, I'm your favorite one?

But, would you say, maybe, I'm your favorite one?

But, yeah, give my regards to Lady Sif.

But, you know, my standards might be a little bit higher in that area than yours.

By the way, at your desk, that magazine?

By the way, I should have an equal amount of security. This is insulting!

By the way, I thought you wanted me dead.

By the way, you did some annihilating too.

Bye.

C 20 and her team went dark

C 20 lost her mind.

C 20? The Variant?

Call the TVA, let the infirmary know...

Came back here to get rich.

Can I help you?

Can I trust you to keep that between us?

Can we do that?

Can we get on with this now?

Can you at least tell me what it is?

Can you hear me?

Can't you see? This is bigger than our experience.

Candy. Do you have candy on Asgard?

Capable of consuming time and space itself.

CAPTAIN MARVEL: Higher, further, faster, baby.

Car.

Cascades into a whole range of other things that aren't supposed to happen.

CASEY: I do not forgive you.

CASEY: Oh, you almost hit me!

Casey.

Certainly not.

Challenge accepted.

Chaotic alterations of a predetermined outcome.

Check it out.

Check out the Green House. We'll meet...

Cheers.

Cheers.

CHILD: Make a wish.

CHILD: Make a wish.

Choice breeds shame and uncertainty and regret.

Claim my throne.

Classic hero stuff.

CLASSIC LOKI: Good luck.

CLASSIC LOKI: I have to say, it feels odd walking toward the gargantuan creature.

CLASSIC LOKI: You really don't remember him?

Cockroach. Got it.

Come and get me!

Come and get me!

Come any closer and I'll kill him.

Come on in.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's take a walk.

Come on, Loki. What is it?

Come on, sit down.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Anywhere and anytime on the timeline. Where'd you go?

Come on. Come on, let's talk in my office.

Come on. You don't see me usually this worked up, right?

Come with me.

Coming along very nicely, thank you.

Completely screwed up the ecosystem.

Continue to prune innocent timelines?

Correct.

Could be any one of them.

Could that be you?

Could that charge the TemPad?

Countless different versions of a very dangerous person.

Countless unique timelines battled each other for supremacy,

Cowardly, a bit amateur ish, but clever.

Create the ultimate power vacuum, and then just walk away.

Created by the organization that controls all of time.

Created from all the tears in reality,

Creating and organizing the Sacred Timeline.

Creepy, right? But...

Damn it!

Damn it! Animals, animals!

Damn it! Why won't it work?

Dance while you still can!

Darling, I

Darling, I...

Death, Casey. Violent, painful death.

Definitely anachronistic.

Delightful.

Desperate, alone.

Despite my acquaintance behaving like an animal...

Dictate the proper flow of time according to their dictations.

Dictating the proper flow of time.

Did Judge Renslayer really feel betrayed by her beloved TVA?

Did Loki say anything while you were in there?

Did the, uh, scream make you feel better?

Did you enjoy hurting them?

Did you watch any of the training videos you were supposed to?

Didn't need your help!

Didn't the Avengers come together to literally avenge him by defeating you?

Different powers, although, powers, generally include

Do a lot of people not know if they're robots?

Do it.

Do you believe you deserve to be alone?

Do you care about her?

Do you enjoy hurting people?

Do you have a plan of action?

Do you have any good memories?

Do you have any idea how impossible it is to keep the timeline stable?

Do you know how many times

Do you really think you deserve to be alone?

Do you remember me?

Do you swear she didn't implant those memories in Hunter C 20?

Do you think that what makes a Loki a Loki

Do you think you're even capable of trusting anyone at all?

Do your worst.

Does he want us to just let them all branch?

Doesn't make sense, does it?

Doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter. She's a pawn.

Don't ask me how I know.

Don't be an ass. I saw some people looking at you weirdly.

Don't be. I enjoyed it.

Don't ever call me that.

Don't go anywhere.

Don't hesitate to let us know how we're doing.

Don't hesitate to let us know how we're doing.

Don't tell me the Variant ambushed and killed another team of Minutemen.

Don't touch that.

Don't you wonder how I'm able to get out of the way just before you kill me?

Don't.

Doomsdays. The Variant's been ambushing our soldiers

Down there, we're awful to get what we want.

Dragon swoops towards the palace,

Dressing as a guard and getting on a train is just doing a thing.

Drunk with power, blinded to the truth.

Drunk with power, blinded to the truth.

Duh. Of course you did.

Duplication casting.

Each variant fighting to preserve their universe

Enchanted me and take the TemPad and leap out the train?

Enchantment is a clever trick.

Enjoy your last meal while you can!

Enough with your games. I've been trying to help you.

Enough! (GRUNTS)

Enough.

Eons ago, before the TVA,

Eons of friendship.

Especially when they clatter to the ground just before your neck is snapped.

Especially you, forming this kind of sick, twisted romantic relationship.

Et cetera.

Eternity with you

Even an Infinity Stone is useless here.

Even someone good.

Even when you're wooing someone powerful you intend to betray?

Even with that...

Every moment those Variants are out there,

Every step you took to get here,

Every time I start to admire your intelligence,

Every time there is an attack, the Variant steals a reset charge.

Everyone who works at the TVA.

Everything burns.

Everything clouded.

Everything from the beginning of time.

Everything okay?

Everything okay?

Everything proceeded correctly, my entire life,

Everything that's, uh...

Everything they prune.

Everything we know to be true. Everything.

Everything you guys did on Lamentis, I saw.

Everything.

Everywhere and every when I went, it caused a nexus event.

Evil Loki's master plan comes together.

Exactly the way you've always wanted.

Existence is chaos.

Expect the expected.

Exploited time and time again simply by listening.

Eyes on the road.

Fair enough.

Fair enough. You believe it's real.

Fake.

Fan out and search for her.

Fancy technology.

Feels like a fresh start.

Final boarding call.

Find them!

Fine.

Fine. Do it.

Fine. For my next trick, I'll make you disappear.

Fine. What about causing a nexus event?

Fine. You want the truth?

Fine. You wanted a fair fight. I respect that.

Fire!

Flesh and blood.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Absolutely.

Flight time today, approximately...

Follow up to a field mission. You know how it goes.

For a long, long time.

For all time.

For all time.

For all time.

For everyone and everything.

For hours.

For nearly every living thing,

For now.

For the record, this really does feel like a killing me kind of a room.

For this theory to hold, the disasters have to be

Free will?

Free will?

Friends against time, allies to the end.

Friendship like ours is uncommon.

Friendship like ours is uncommon.

FRIGGA: Hmm.

From all of you.

FYI, that wasn't even a plan.

Gather around for a briefing.

Get back!

Get inside, find its heart or brain or whatever,

Get off my leg!

Give It To me. You don't know how to Recharge it.

Give me the Tesseract, or I'll gut you like a fish, Casey.

Give me your TemPad.

Glorious purpose!

Glorious purpose.

Go ahead and run this for sequence period and any hints of temporal aura.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go on, have a seat.

Go on.

Go on.

Go!

Go!

God, it's just one damn thing after another, isn't it?

God. Now I understand why Thor found this so annoying.

Good evening, passengers. Hi.

Good point.

Good riddance.

Good tinder for your fire, though. Come on.

Good, 'cause I'm runnin' out of it.

Good.

Good.

Good. 'Cause that's not who I am anymore. I'm Sylvie now.

Good. Because this is gonna suck

Good. Yeah.

Good. Yeah. Smart.

Goodbye, Variant.

Gosh! Unbelievable. Wherever you go, it's just death, destruction,

Great. And then that thing they're not supposed to do,

Great. How do we do that?

Great. I'll get the file.

Great. That's all I'm gonna need. (SIGHS)

GRETA THUNBERG: How dare they!

Grow up! Grow up, Sylvie!

GUARD: Get back!

GUARD: Get out of the way.

GUARD: Go! Go! Go! Move it!

GUARD: Hold it! Stop right there.

GUARD: Quiet down!

GUARD: Remain calm. We're now at capacity.

GUARD: Return to your homes.

GUARD: Tickets?

GUARD: Tickets?

GUARD: To Shuroo? This way, sir.

Guilty of a crime against the Sacred Timeline?

Guilty of finding all this incredibly tedious? Yes.

Guilty...

Half the fun of being a trickster

Hands up.

Hang on a second. So, tell... Tell me about your mother.

Hang on,

Hang on.

Hang on. Ow.

Happen when someone does something they're not supposed to do, right?

Happily ever after?

Happy readin'.

Happy reading.

Has this whole thing been a con?

Have a chance to do them for a good reason.

Have a competition, see who finds it.

Have a look.

Have an idea of what he's capable of.

Have any of you met a woman Variant of us?

Have I made you proud?

Have you got nothing else to do?

Haven Hills, Alabama, corporate town

Having some fun.

He can't keep going back and just camping out, over and over.

He can't keep going back and just camping out, over and over.

He cares about you.

He could be hiding anywhere and should be considered hostile.

He created all and he controls all.

He ensures none of it ever returns.

He is green, isn't he?

He just uncovered a huge hole in our security.

He should be reset!

He was a scientist

He Who Remains, a jerk.

HE WHO REMAINS: Bingo!

HE WHO REMAINS: Incredible.

HE WHO REMAINS: No, wrong.

HE WHO REMAINS: One...

HE WHO REMAINS: Right.

He Who Remains.

He Who Remains.

He Who Remains.

He'll go after the big meal first.

He's back.

He's been making a few creative adjustments,

He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast

He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon

He's hiding in apocalypses.

He's hiding in apocalypses.

He's impressed.

He's lying. Just playing games.

He's on it.

He's planning something.

He's praying. He thinks we're going to die.

He's really arrogant.

He's seen everything. He knows everything.

He's softening in the Time Cell,

He's terrifying. He planned everything.

Hello?

Hello... Oh, I don't know.

Help him!

Hence, the Time Keepers and a highly efficient bureaucracy.

Hence, the TVA.

Hence, the Variant could be hiding in the apocalypse

Hence...

Her name was Sylvie.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Here we go. Now, you've already told me about 50 lies in the past 10 minutes.

Here.

Here's a good trick for you.

Here's an idea. What if you enchanted me and you could walk for both of us?

Hey, hey!

Hey, how long have we been best friends?

Hey, there you are.

Hey, y'all.

Hey, y'all.

Hey! Change of subject. I thought of an answer.
