Previously on Avengers...
Vision, you saved all of us.
Why?
Ultron created me to be perfect.
He thought that meant less human.
I wish to be perfect.
But I believe that means to be more human.
I'm inventing technology for the next century.
Trying to make the world a better place.
The newspaper calls you a futurist.
Taking on SHIELD, giant robots, super-villains...
The whole world doesn't have to rest on your shoulders.
Yeah, it does.
You really think you can fix him, Iron Man?
Cap, come on, it's me.
How are you feeling, Vision?
It is an odd sensation.
Am I being scanned as well?
Yeah, sorry about that. We need to be sure...
that Ultron didn't leave any surprises inside you.
I'm not worried. Vision's his own man now.
I've to give Ultron credit.
He did an amazing job designing you.
I wish the world was as easy to fix.
And trust me, I've been trying.
JARVIS, begin auto repair sequence, now.
Activating.
Entering sleep mode.
We'll see you in 30 days, Vision. Rest easy.
Resuming normal function.
I am complete.
Hello?
Iron Man? Captain America?
Congratulations, Iron Man. You did it.
You fixed the world.
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!
♪ Assembled, we are strong! ♪
♪ Forever fight as one! ♪
Avengers, assemble!
Subtitles: Nakor38.
JARVIS, contact all Avengers via ID card.
JARVIS?
Activating artificial intelligence. Designation: JARVIS.
Resuming functions.
Reboot complete.
Hello, Vision. May I help you?
Why were you deactivated?
All artificial intelligence systems were shut down by Iron Man 14 days ago.
By Iron Man? I do not understand.
JARVIS, what happened while I was being repaired?
When did everything change?
25 days ago, Tony Stark created and launched a prototype satellite he designed...
to generate and transmit free energy to the world.
The Stark Energizer.
23 days ago, Tony Stark addressed the United Nations.
By the end of his speech, the organization voted to disband leaving Mr. Stark in charge.
Within the week, Stark Industries took over all functions of the UN...
and Iron Man began to send squadrons of remotely controlled Iron Man armor...
along with members of the Avengers, all around the world.
Their mission was to end war.
The majority of opponents surrendered.
Additionally, Stark Industries facilities were opened across the globe.
Any remaining resistance was crushed.
Where are the Avengers now?
Yellow Jacket is presently in London...
supervising the European continent.
Miss Marvel oversees South America.
Wasp is in Asia. And Black Panther--
Who is in New York?
Thor serves as Iron Man's bodyguard.
Hawkeye oversees the Iron Men.
And Captain America is behind you.
What are you doing here, Vision?
You're supposed to be shut down!
Captain... The repair program...
It finished.
Access to the Mansion is against the law!
Use of artificial intelligence is against the law!
I do not understand. Why are you doing this?
Why has Iron Man taken these actions?
They are counter to everything I know about--
Iron Man is not to be questioned.
I follow orders!
And you're getting shut down, Mister!
No, this is not right.
This is not what you believe.
JARVIS, I am transmitting audio and visual records...
from my internal memory. Project them.
You think I'm fighting for me?
To save my own life?
That's why you'll never win!
I'm not fighting for me!
I'm fighting for them!
And that's something you'll never understand, machine!
It's the very thing that makes us human.
Captain?
AI designation: Vision.
You are to surrender by the order of Iron Man.
I... will... not!
Never surrender!
Not until we stop Stark!
I don't get it.
This is live from Cap's Iron Men.
Why would he do this? Doesn't make sense.
I agree.
It doesn't make sense at all.
You've created the perfect world, Tony.
People should just sit back and enjoy it.
These things are tough but still not the real deal.
We got lucky.
[JARVIS] Attention. More Iron Men are approaching.
[JARVIS] Two of the omega-- Error.
Remote shutdown in progress.
It's Tony!
JARVIS, begin upload into my mainframe.
[JARVIS] Uploading.
[JARVIS] Upload complete.
[JARVIS] Hello.
- We have to get to the Quinjets! - Ill-advised, sir.
The Quinjets have been moved off site.
How did this happen?
It was like I was in a fog.
I am detecting an unknown energy throughout the city.
Possibly the world. You are being affected as well.
- What is it? - Analyzing.
Match found.
The energy has the same effect on human biology...
As the power of Zebediah Killgrave.
AKA: The Purple Man.
Purple Man. That name... it sounds...
Oh, no!
The same day Tony was fixing you, Vision...
an Avengers alert came in.
It was Purple Man.
The Purple Man was apprehended...
with Mr. Stark's usual flair.
He was handed over to SHIELD.
I think we can safely assume that didn't last.
What happened next?
Six hours later...
Pepper Potts ordered all audio-video recording...
in Stark Tower shut down.
She said that Mr. Stark had a guest.
Within a small radius surrounding...
the Purple Man can control the wills of other human beings.
They will do anything and everything the Purple Man says without question.
And the first thing he made Tony do...
was build a satellite that would transmit his power...
over the entire world.
There is our problem.
What do you mean they got away?
Find them! Hunt them down and destroy them!
You're trying to resist me, aren't you?
No one can resist me at this range.
Satellite or not.
Look at you. The noble hero.
Don't pretend like all of this wasn't your idea in the first place!
Everything I've made you do in the last few weeks...
it all came from you.
I just gave you the push you needed.
For so long I've been able to take anything I wanted.
But it wasn't enough.
I should have been able to rule the world with my power!
And through you, Stark...
that's exactly what I am doing!
You could've had it all. Anytime you wanted.
Everybody listens to Tony Stark.
Everybody loves Iron Man.
You shouldn't have mocked me.
You thought it would be funny that day in the restaurant, didn't you?
To make fun of me!
To make me look stupid!
Do you feel smart now?
We've got a visual on Captain America and the Vision.
What are your orders?
Eliminate Captain America and the Vision.
Now.
Take... them... down.
We need to fight this on two fronts.
Vision!
That was a freebie, old man.
I just wanted to make sure you knew it was me taking you down.
Sorry, robot, you break the law I break you.
Each statement you just made is incorrect.
I am not a robot.
And you cannot break what you cannot touch.
For your own sake, please, stop.
Thanks for the concern!
My apologies.
But your file indicates that my laser...
will not permanently harm you.
Bye bye.
Hawkeye! Clint! You can fight this!
It's over, Cap. You lose!
You're being used, Hawkeye! By the Purple Man!
You think I'm gonna listen to you?
Stark said you were a traitor.
So I'm taking you down.
You've never listened to anyone.
Not me and sure as heck not Iron Man!
And now you're just gonna blindly follow orders?
You've never done that in your life.
And now you're gonna get yourself killed because Tony Stark told you to?
No one tells Hawkeye what to do!
Come on, Clint!
Cap? Hawkeye?
No. No!
You OK, soldier?
No, not until I have Purple Man's head on my wall.
Even if we have to go through Stark to do it.
Cap, what are we gonna do?
The Purple Man, he's taken the whole world.
We take it back.
I need you, Hawkeye and Vision to find a Quinjet.
There's a satellite up in space that needs to be taken down.
And what of you, Captain?
I'm gonna save Tony.
That was of minimal difficulty.
Did you just say this was easy?
You never say it was easy.
- Ever! - Why?
Your end has come, betrayers!
That's why.
Hey, Cap, I've been waiting for you.
Iron Man, Tony, you can fight this.
You're being controlled by the Purple Man.
Run!
I'm impressed, Captain.
You must have quite the will power to keep resisting me like this.
But what do you think you're going to do?
Even if you get out of here alive...
I control the whole world.
This is bad. What are we supposed to do?
We stick with the plan.
Vision, keep him busy as long as you can.
Keep him right here.
Forgive me, Asgardian.
Vision's not gonna last long against blondie out there.
Vision, degage (?) ! Now!
I can't, I can't.
[JARVIS] Warning, sensors indicate multiple Iron Men are guarding the satellite.
That's bad.
[JARVIS] Warning. Long range sensors indicate that Thor is in pursuit.
That's worse.
JARVIS, where's Thor? How close is he?
I will deal with Thor.
What? Vision, wait.
Increasing density.
Current weight, 500 tons.
Now, this is entertainment.
Got it.
Carol, hold her steady.
I don't know how you tricked me Hawkeye.
But I won't betray Iron Man!
Carol...
You have to fight.
Clint?
Vision?
What transpires here?
It would seem that Hawkeye and Miss Marvel were successful.
You are now free of the Purple Man's influence.
Purple Man?
Purple Man!
Tony, you have to fight! You can beat this!
Look at him, Stark.
I want you to feel this.
I want you to know exactly what I am making you do.
- Cap? - You're mine, Stark!
Forever!
No matter how hard you resist, you'll never be free.
The most you'll ever be able to do is wiggle your finger when I'm next to you.
Now, finish him.
Artificial Intelligence reactivated.
Initiating armor air-filtration system.
Purple Man, you have made a grave mistake.
Please, please don't.
I can do a lot by wiggling my finger.
It will take some time but I will put it right.
Everything I did, I'll fix.
But it will never be enough.
Ever since I became Iron Man...
I've tried to make sure the weapons I made...
didn't fall into the wrong hands.
And I was turned into a weapon.
No one blames you Tony.
The world knows it was the Purple Man.
Everyone was in the same boat as you.
He was controlling all of us.
No, you shook Purple Man's control.
So did the others.
And everything Purple Man had me do, it was all inside me.
They're all ideas I had.
I'm supposed to be the futurist; working to build a better tomorrow.
What I did?
Is that the future I've been working toward?
I don't believe that.
And I don't think it was a mistake that you forgot about the Vision.
Or that you sent me to the Mansion the night he woke.
I think you were fighting the Purple Man the whole time.
I think you hoped the Vision would free me.
I know you believe in the future.
But I believe in people.
And I choose to believe in you, Iron Man.
