Doctor Strange (2016) Edit

A being of infinite power and endless hunger,

A brilliant student, but he was proud, headstrong.

A few years later, he walked past me on the street.

A harder way.

A place where the soul exists apart from the body.

A reckoning.

A ritual to contact Dormammu and draw power from the Dark Dimension.

A weirder way.

A what?

A world beyond time.

A world beyond time.

A zealot called Kaecilius.

About chakras, or energy, or the power of belief.

Actually, I can.

Actually, you know what, man? I think I know you.

After all this time, you just show up here,

Again, and again, and again, and again, forever.

Agamotto built 3 Sanctums in places of power,

All I need is possible.

All you need to do is focus.

Allow me to help you.

Allowing them to take the strain we can not.

Already know, you'd run from here in terror.

Alright, look. My name is Dr. Stephen Strange.

Alright.

Alright.

Alright.

Alright. Well, it's been lovely talking to you, thank

Always.

An endless looped time.

And after each one, there's always another.

And bring all worlds into his Dark Dimension.

And finally, I found my teacher.

And for the threat upon my life.

And he hungers for Earth most of all.

And here we are, in the consequence of her deception.

And I have just killed a man! I'm not doing that again.

And I talked to someone called the Ancient One, and...

And I, too, was... disrespectful.

And if I told you everything else that you don't

And my mind was elevated. And my spirit deepened.

And New York has been attacked. Twice. You know where they're going next.

And no, I have a very strict rule against dating colleagues.

And put a human spine back together bone by bone?

And relieved him of his head.

And somehow...

And sometimes to contain threats.

And stop.

And the answer is yes.

And the quickest way back there is through a dimensional gateway

And the world would be all the lesser for it.

And then harvest them and 3D print a scaffold.

And then whined about it like a wounded dog.

And there were deeper secrets to learn then,

And they all lead here,

And they all lead here,

And this is the part where you apologize.

And to live within the natural law.

And we can all live forever.

And weapons

And what about this one?

And what did the book say about the dangers of performing that ritual?

And yet, somehow, no one seems to want to call it the Strange technique.

And you are?

And you can muster the strength to snuff them out first?

And you spent your whole life trying to widen that keyhole.

And you'd be dead before you ever left the compound.

And your power will rise.

Another speaking engagement? So romantic.

Any second now.

Any... late fees I should know about? Maybe, perhaps, uhm...

Apneic, further brain stem testing after reflex test...

Are you okay?

Arrogance and fear still keep you

As part of the One.

Astronomia Nova.

At the root of existence, mind and matter meet.

At this temperature, a person can last for 13 minutes

Beautiful. It's freezing, but... beautiful.

Because I see it long last was wrong with the world.

Because one day, it may.

Because one day, it might. Well, today is that day.

Because the warnings...

Because there are other ways to save lives.

Because what the Ancient One hoards, Dormammu gives freely.

Because you may not know of what you speak.

Because you might not like them?

Because, you see, I'm not getting any better!

Bed.

Before suffering permanent loss of function.

Best not to walk the streets wearing an infinity stone.

Beyond death.

Beyond death.

Beyond time.

Beyond time...

Billy! What have you got for me?

Bringing cheese and wine as if we're old friends going for a picnic?

Bullshit. Show me his file.

But at my discretion, others may use it.

But because of your fear of failure.

But I can lose.

But I can't see past it.

But I did not have the strength to receive them.

But I have to go right now.

But I left him chained up in Greenwich Village,

But if it proves your arrogant ass wrong,

But if that word offends your modern sensibilities,

But instead, the Ancient One gives us parlor tricks.

But it will take you no further.

But look at me,

But look at me,

But not because you crave success,

But now you're spending money you don't even have.

But one day he stopped coming. I thought he was dead.

But really, time is the true enemy of us all. Time kills everything.

But the Dark Dimension...

But this isn't medicine anymore. This is mania.

But you will likely go into shock within the first 2 minutes.

But you will suffer.

But... even if my fingers could do that,

But... we're looking for my father.

By also violating the natural laws.

Can I help you?

Challenge round, Billy.

Charging to 200 Joule

Choose your weapon wisely.

Christine

Christine, I am so, so sorry.

Christine!

Codex Imperium.

Come on, man! Where is the competition?

Come on!

Come on. You've heard of her. She's a huge star, right?

Come on...

Come with me.

Complicated?

Conjure a weapon.

Conjure shields

Could you send me the... got it.

Could you send me the... got it.

Cranial nerves intact.

Dangerous.

Daniel. I see they made you Master of the Sanctum.

Dark places, where powers older than time lie...

Death is an insult.

Death is what gives life meaning.

Did they work for you?

Did you heal a man named Pangborn? A paralyzed man.

Do it, and I'll break the loop.

Do you ever laugh?

Do you know what that means?

Do you know where Kamar Taj is?

Doctor Strange.

Doctor.

Doctor...

Don't like that map?

Don't shut me out.

Don't you see?

Dormammu dwells in the Dark Dimension.

Dormammu is coming.

Dormammu made you a murderer.

Dormammu!

Dormammu! I've come to bargain.

Dormammu! I've come to bargain.

Dormammu! I've come to bargain.

Dormammu! I've come to bargain.

Dormammu!... Dormammu!... Dormammu!...

Dormammu.

Dr. Palmer, the ER, please. Dr. Palmer, the ER.

Dr. Strange... those tissues are still healing.

Dr. West, cover your watch.

Drake. Bono.

Drawn from other dimensions of the multiverse,

Each of those maps was drawn up by someone who could see in part, but not the whole.

Eminem.

End your assault on my world.

Eternal life as part of the One.

Eternal life as part of the One.

Eternal life?

Even death, which no one can control.

Ever present but undetected.

Excuse me. Kamar Taj?

Experimental and expensive, but possible.

Explicit, actually.

Feels So Good, Chuck Mangione, 1977.

Fight! Fight like your life depended on it!

Find me something worth my time.

Fine. I can't watch you do this to yourself anymore.

First, open the Eye of Agamotto.

Fix him up and send him back into the world, heart is just humming...

For a moment, you entered the astral dimension.

For a world beyond time, because time is what enslaves us.

For all of it. And you were right,

For now,

Forged by the fires of his youth.

Forget everything you think you know.

From learning the simplest and most significant lesson of all.

From other realms that may be a threat to this world.

Get up and fight!

Get up, Strange.

Get up, Strange. Get up and fight!

Give me the ball!

Going back thousands of years to the father of the mystic arts,

Golden hours for nerve damage went by while you were in the car.

Good luck.

Good tea.

Good.

Goodbye, Stephen.

Gotta say, I'm very flattered by your policy.

Great.

Hah! It's 1978.

Have you ever known anyone with nerve damage this severe

Have you ever wondered how she managed to live this long?

Have you ever wondered how she managed to live this long?

Have you seen that before in a gift shop?

He came in 3 times a week.

He can fold space and matter at will.

He channels dimensional energy directly into his own body.

He couldn't walk; I convinced him that he could.

He finally needs me. Another dreg of humanity for you to work on.

He folds matter outside the mirror dimension? In the real world?

He had a choice,

He had pain in his shoulder from the wheelchair.

He had to go.

He is not the destroyer of worlds, Doctor, he is the savior of worlds.

He is the cosmic conquerer, the destroyer of worlds.

He left Kamar Taj.

He looks alright to me.

He needs your flexibility, just as you need his strength.

He offers immortality.

He reminds you of Kaecilius?

He was a grieving and broken man,

He won't do it.

He's a hack.

He's escaped.

He's gone.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Her transgressions led the zealots to Dormammu.

Hey, Pangborn, you in it or not?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

His body was in the hall.

His disciples followed him like sheep

His eternal life is not paradise, but torment.

His heart rate are getting dangerously high.

Hong Kong

How about a 22 year old female with an electronic

How about ten minutes ago, when you called the wrong time of death?

How did you get to reattach severed nerves,

How did you learn to do that?

How do I get from here to there?

How do you correct a complete C7 C8 spinal cord injury?

How is this not about my hands?

How is your Sanskrit?

How long have you been at Kamar TaJ, Mister...?

How long until I'm...

Huh. A... Al... Al... alright. How do we do that? Where do we start?

Hypocrite!

I am.

I became a doctor to save lives, not take them.

I came to you, broken,

I came to your office once. You refused to see me.

I can not defeat them alone.

I can not lead another gifted student to power,

I chose to settle for my miracle, and I came back home.

I could have done better.

I didn't have to save his patient either. But,

I didn't.

I don't know you.

I don't know.

I don't want to let you go.

I hate you.

I have a 68 year old female with an advanced brain stem glioma.

I have a 68 year old female with an advanced brain stem glioma.

I headed East, and I ended up in Kathmandu.

I just read it in the book of Cagliostro. Why?

I know how to reorient the spirit to better heal the body.

I know how you do it.

I know that she's steadfast, but unpredictable.

I looked at all your research.

I mean, what the hell is happening?

I mean... just how experimental is your treatment?

I missed you too, by the way.

I needed a specialist to diagnose brain death.

I never got past your assistant.

I once stood in your place.

I pushed your astral form out of your physical form.

I read all the papers you've sent, but... none will work.

I really do have to go.

I said, stop it!

I spent my last dollar getting here

I stolen nothing. This is my power. Mine.

I stranded one in the desert. And the other?

I think he really should have stolen the whole book,

I think he really should have stolen the whole book,

I think I found the problem, Dr. Palmer.

I thought my mind was the only thing I had

I tried to protect you.

I trusted you to be my teacher, and you fed me lies.

I was a complete asshole. I treated you so horribly

I went to a place called Kamar Taj

I will follow this path no longer.

I wrote 2 emails, but you never responded.

I... I control it by surrendering control? That doesn't make any sense.

I... I don't think you realize how severe the damage is, I...

I... I saw the rituals in the book of Cagliostro.

I... I wa... I was just doing exactly what it said in the book!

I... I'm trying to find my own way back.

I... time out. I... I came here to heal my hands,

I'd given up on my body.

I'd like a moment alone with Mr. Strange.

I'm breaking the laws of nature, I know.

I'm emailing you one more time to

I'm fluent in Google Translate.

I'm just going to have to put this thing back on.

I'm late for a cult meeting.

I'm not going to let you operate on a dead man.

I'm not ready.

I'm not talking about money.

I'm now the guardian of these books.

I'm Stephen Strange. I'm a neurosurgeon. Was a neurosurgeon.

I've brought a little power from mine.

I've come to bargain.

I've got a 35 year old Air Force colonel. Crushed his lower spine

I've got a 35 year old Air Force colonel. Crushed his lower spine

I've got a photographic memory. It's how I got my M.D. and Ph.D. at the same time.

I've hated drawing power from the Dark Dimension.

I've nowhere else to go.

I've prevented countless terrible futures.

I've seen the missing rituals from the book of Cagliostro.

I've seen the rituals and worked them out.

I've spent so many years peering through time,

I've... I've never seen a wound like this before.

If he deciphers them, he could bring ruin upon us all.

If I could get a loan together, just...

If you can.

Imagine every detail.

Implant in her brain to control schizophrenia struck by lightning?

In some kind of experimental armor. Mid thoracic vertebral fracture.

In the end, our sun burns out, our universe grows cold and perishes.

In the ER, I get to save one drunk idiot with a gun.

In ways you can't imagine, you reject the possibility?

Included learning of infinite dangers.

Is that why you're working here, without a governing medical board?

Isn't it beautiful?

Isn't it beautiful?

Isn't that why you're here? You've undergone many procedures.

It came to you.

It can take me a while to pull the files from the archive.

It is Dr. Strange.

It is. And it breaks my heart to see you this way.

It's a fickle thing.

It's a place beyond time.

It's amazing you kept him alive.

It's everything you ever wanted.

It's everything you ever wanted.

It's not about you.

It's okay. It's going to be okay.

It's our fear of death that gives Dormammu life.

It's possible.

It's precisely what kept you from greatness.

It's the end and the beginning.

It's too late.

It's too late.

It's true.

It's what made me a great doctor.

It's worth it.

Jonathan Pangborn, C7 C8 spinal cord injury, complete.

Just a little higher.

Just after he strung up the former librarian,

Just as you gave Kaecilius powers from your dimension,

Just how good can his kingdom be?

Just so I can watch the snow.

Just tea.

Kaecilius still has the stolen pages.

Kaecilius was her fault.

Kaecilius!

Kaecilius.

Kaecilius.

Kamar Taj is a place that collects broken things.

Kamar Taj?

Kamar Taj...

Kathmandu, Nepal

Keep me alive, will you?

Key of Solomon.

Learning of an infinite multiverse

Left. I should at least try to elevate that.

Liar.

Life, everlasting.

Like Dormammu?

Like the rule against conjuring a gateway in the library?

Like what? Like you?

London.

Look around you. It's over.

Look at these fixators.

Look at you now.

Look beyond the world in front of you.

Look, I'm talking tonight at a Neurological Society dinner. Come with me.

Look, I'm using trans sectioned spinal cords

Look, if you're not going to start making sense,

Looking at this exact moment.

Lost, bleeding.

Master Hamir.

Master Kaecilius.

Master Strange.

Mastery of the sling ring is essential to the mystic arts.

Maybe I should...

Maybe it's time to consider stopping.

Maybe we can hyphenate. Strange Palmer technique.

Maybe we can hyphenate. Strange Palmer technique.

Maybe. Who am I to judge?

Me on an operation table now. Just you.

Meditate...

Merciless, yet kind.

Mordo's soul is rigid and unmovable,

More reason why you should be my neurosurgeon on call.

Mr. Strange!

Multiple torn ligaments.

My hands would just be waving in the air. I mean,

My old life?

My work is at least going to save thousands for years to come.

Need you to. We've already called brain death.

Never come back.

No fibrillation...

No knowledge in Kamar Taj is forbidden. Only certain practices.

No minor feat.

No more questions.

No one could have done better.

No one ever is.

No one knows the age of the Sorcerer Supreme.

No one steps foot in this Sanctum.

No one.

No price to pay?

No reflexes. I'm not reading any brain activity.

No, Billy, while Feels So Good may have charted in 1978,

No, doctor.

No, I reject it because I do not believe in fairy tales

No, Mr. Strange.

No, no, no, no no no no!

No, not again.

No, Stephen. You lack a spine.

No!

No! No... No! Shit!

No! Open the door! Please!

No!!!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Don't pity me.

No. I mean, come on. Look at your face.

No. No no no no no no no! Stephen! Stephen!

No. No, Doctor.

No. Now is exactly the time not to stop.

No...

No... No!

Not even Dormammu?

Not even the great doctor Stephen Strange.

Not everything does. Not everything has to.

Not Master Strange, not Mr. Strange,

Not necessarily.

Not tea.

Not to fight in some mystical war.

Nothing can stop him.

Nothing can stop him.

Now I'm being told to blindly accept rules that make no sense.

Now I'm told you question every lesson, prefering to teach yourself.

Now we receive the power to destroy the one who betrayed us.

Now! I don't have any time!

Of course.

Oh come on, just give me the book, huh?

Oh god!

Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!

Oh my god.

Oh my.

Oh shit!

Oh, come on, Billy. You've got to be messing with me.

Oh, good! I'm glad something is named after me.

Oh, I didn't correct it.

Oh, I... I've got this, Stephen. You've done your bit. Go ahead, we'll close up.

Oh, no. It's... it's very good. It's just...

Oh, okay. So, if you've found Odin,

Oh, that's funny.

Oh, wait a minute. You're not... you guys aren't...

Oh, what do you want?

Oh! Please.

Okay, that's, uh... a thing...

Okay! Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

On a one way ticket, and you're talking to me about healing through belief?

On a quest to invade every universe

Once they regroup, the zealots will be back.

Once, in this room, you begged me to let you learn.

Once, in this room, you told me to open my eyes.

One guy, yeah. Factory accident, broke his back. Paralyzed. His leg wasted away.

One of the rituals was stolen by a former Master.

Only its possibilities.

Only its possibilities.

Only New York and Hong Kong remain now to shield us from the Dark Dimension.

Only that she is Celtic and never talks about her past.

Only to lose him to the darkness.

Only together do you stand a chance of stopping Dormammu.

Open your eye.

Or never having existed at all?

Or to serve something greater than himself.

Or... Aristotle.

Other dimensional beings that threaten our universe.

Others filled with malice and hunger.

P s a g m e n o . com

Pain is an old friend.

Palmer Strange.

Pangborn, J. Metropolitan General Hospital

Partial paralysis of both hands.

People think in terms of good and evil,

Perhaps Kamar Taj could use a man like Strange.

Perhaps Kamar Taj could use a man like Strange.

Please be careful with the needle.

Poor Stephen Strange, charity case.

Power?

Power... has a purpose.

Questioned the Ancient One, rejected our teaching.

Quite.

Rapid onset central nervous system shutdown.

Ravenous... and waiting.

Read it. Classical Sanskrit.

Really?

Really? Are you sure you got the right place?

Rest.

Right. Forget everything I think I know. I'm sorry.

Right. Right.

Run!

Searching for answers in the mystic arts.

Seduced by false doctrine.

See the destination in your mind.

Seriously, Billy, you said this one would be hard.

Severe nerve damage in both hands.

She did what she thought was right.

She does draw power from the Dark Dimension.

She draws power from the Dark Dimension to stay alive.

She made me what I am.

She taught us it was forbidden,

She was complicated.

She wasn't who I thought she was.

Show me your strength.

Sign: Himalayan Healing! Find Peace! Find Yourself!

Silence your ego

Sleeping together. Sorry, I thought that was implicit in my disgust.

So I sat with gurus, and sacred women.

So if a volume from this collection should be stolen again, I'd know it.

So might I offer you some advice?

So speed it up. Pass the stent under the brachial artery under the radial artery.

So they're forbidden?

So, Earth has wizards now, huh?

So, I could have my hands back again?

So, I keep a watchlist of individuals and beings

So, just how ancient is she?

So, what can I do for you? Man!

So, why bring him here to New York?

So, you figured out a way to reprogram nerve cells to self heal?

So, you know.

Some benevolent and life giving;

Some things just can't be fixed.

Something about that doesn't feel right to me.

Spacious paradoxes! Time loops!!!

Spells working.

Spirit... to heal the body.

Status, Billy? 1977.

Stealing power, providing nature... like you.

Stephen Strange has left to surrender to his power.

Stephen, come on.

Stephen?

Stephen. You've always spent money as fast as you could make it

Stop!

Stop! Make this stop!!!

Stop!!!

Stop.

Strange!

Strange! Get down here and fight!

Strangers carried me to mountain tops to see holy men.

Stretching one moment out into a thousand,

Stubbornness, arrogance, ambition... I've seen it all before.

Study and practice. Years of it.

Surrender, Stephen.

Take your zealots from the Earth.

Tampering with the continuum of probability is forbidden!

Teach me!

Tell me, Mr. Doctor.

Temporal manipulations can create branches in time.

Thank you for... huh!

Thank you, Master Hamir.

Thank you, Master Mordo. Thank you, Master Hamir!

Thank you, Masters.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That does sound interesting.

That door leads to the Hong Kong Sanctum,

That door to the New York Sanctum.

That is hilarious.

That one looks a little more... Kamar y Taj y.

That one, to the London Sanctum.

That ritual will bring you only sorrow.

That you'll die protecting it.

That's a long story. A family drama, that kind of thing,

That's it. I'm putting this thing back on. This world doesn't have to die, Doctor.

That's not true.

That's right.

That's the book of Cagliostro. The study of time.

That's... bleeding edge medical tech.

The album was released in December, 1977.

The Ancient One is the latest in a long line of Sorcerers Supreme

The Ancient One will send for you.

The Ancient One? What's his real name?

The Ancient One.

The Ancient One's private collection.

The bill comes due.

The bill comes due.

The bill comes due.

The Bolting Boots of Voltor.

The book of the invisible sun.

The clearer the picture, the quicker, and easier,

The Cloak of Levitation.

The Dark Dimension is volatile.

The Dark Dimension.

The Dark Dimension.

The Earth has no Sorcerer Supreme to defend it.

The gateway will come.

The great and beautiful One.

The language of the mystic arts is as old as civilization.

The London Sanctum has fallen.

The many becoming the few, becoming the One.

The mighty Agamotto.

The Mirror Dimension.

The one who betrays the world.

The pages that Kaecilius stole.

The patient's not dead, but he's dying. Do you still want to harvest his organs?

The place you're looking for is called Kamar Taj.

The real magic she keeps for herself.

The real world isn't affected by what happens here.

The ritual gives me the power to overthrow the Ancient One and tear her Sanctums down,

The same as you. The same as everyone. Life. Eternal life.

The sanctuary of our teacher. The Ancient One.

The Sanctum has already fallen.

The Sanctums protect the world, and we sorcerers

The Sorcerer Supreme defends existence.

The sorcerers of antiquity called the use of this language spells.

The source code that shapes reality.

The true purpose of a sorcerer is to twist things out of there proper shape.

The Wand of Watoomb.

The warnings come after the spells.

The Why of all existence.

The Wi Fi password.

The world is not what it ought to be. Humanity longs for the eternal,

Their connection to the Dark Dimension makes

Them more powerful in the Mirror Dimension.

Then answer me this, bachelor's degree.

Then you will spend eternity dying.

There are many relics.

There is no such thing as spirit!

There may be dark days ahead.

There may be dark days ahead.

There's a new procedure in Tokyo. They culture donor stem cells

There's a strength to him.

There's no fame, there's no CNN interviews...

These zealots will snuff us all out,

They allow us to travel throughout the multiverse.

They can't affect the real world, but they can still kill us.

They carried you into Kamar Taj on a strecher.

They did teach me to tap into powers that I never even knew existed.

They just roll of the tongue, don't they? When do I get my relic?

They really should put the warnings before that stuff.

They rushed you in a chopper. But it took a little while to find you.

They're back.

They've got no sling ring. I mean, they can't escape, right?

This is a relic.

This is how things are now.

This is the part where you leave.

This is the Staff of the Living Tribunal.

This is time.

This isn't real it isn't real it isn't

This isn't the end. There are other things that can give your life meaning.

This isn't the time for showing off, Strange.

This one's got pages missing.

This section is for Masters only.

This universe is only one of an infinite number.

This was a mistake.

This wasn't clever. This was suicide!

This world can take its rightful place among so many others,

Those books are far too advanced for anyone other than the Sorcerer Supreme.

Thoughts shape reality.

Time is an insult.

Time is relative. Your body hasn't even hit the floor yet.

Tiny, momentary specks within an indifferent universe.

To cast spells,

To do this, and actually recover?

To know your days are numbered,

To let the Dark Dimension in.

To make magic.

To put itself back together in all sorts of ways?

To put themselves together in very specific ways.

To return to to his own life

To see more, know more. And now, on hearing that it can be widened

To stimulate neurogenesis in the central nervous system.

Together, the Sanctums generate a protective shield around our world.

Told you so!

Too many sorcerers.

Too premature. We need to get him prepped for a suboccipital craniotomy.

Trust your teacher. And don't lose your way.

Uh, thank you, Ancient One... for... seeing me...

Uh, thank you. And thank you.

Uh, what's this? My mantra?

Uh, you know, people used to think that I was funny.

Uh... alright.

Unstable dimensional openings.

Until then,

Up the voltage and hit me again.

Up.

Up.

Useless? The man charted a top ten hit with a Flugelhorn.

Uuuh... okay. Okay.

Visualize.

Wait, Stephen... what do you think you're doing?

Was it enlightenment?

We all come with the promise of being healed,

We are made of matter, and nothing more.

We are not friends, Christine. We were barely lovers.

We broke our rules, just like her.

We did it.

We do not tamper with natural law. We defend it.

We don't get to choose our time.

We don't seek to rule this world.

We got a second chance.

We harness energy

We have to end this. Now!

We have to run.

We need to relieve the pressure on her brain.

We never lose our demons, Mordo.

We only learn to live above them.

We seek to save it, to hand it over to Dormammu,

We should start with Maxim's Primer.

We sorcerers safeguard it against more mystical threats.

We use the Mirror Dimension to train, surveil,

We will finish this.

We will finish this.
