EMERGENCY CREWS ARE WORKING 'ROUND THE CLOCK, AS IT WERE,
TO REPAIR DAMAGE DONE TO BIG BEN
BY THE RECENT EARTHQUAKES.
SOON, TOURISTS WILL AGAIN BE ABLE
TO VISIT THIS POPULAR DESTI--
AAAAH!
IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE!
OH, MY...
OH! OH, MY WORD!
BIG BEN IS COMING...
AAAAH! AAAAAH!
IT'S COLLAPSING --
LOOK OUT!
WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY WAS JUST THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF SHOCKS
THAT STRUCK BRITAIN AND WESTERN EUROPE.
Oh, why...
DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?
HUH?
N- NO. NO. I-I'M OKAY.
HOWEVER, NONE OF THE KNOWN FAULT LINES IN THE REGION
SHOWS ANY QUAKE ACTIVITY.
MY SEISMIC TESTING INDICATES
THAT THESE TREMORS ARE NOT NATURAL,
BUT APPEAR TO BE CREATED
BY SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC.
OR SOMEONE. IT'S GOT TO BE NAMOR!
HOLD ON, CLINT.
THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT ANYONE FROM ATLANTIS IS INVOLVED.
SOMEBODY'S ATTACKING EUROPE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
KINDA NARROWS OUR CHOICES, DOESN'T IT?
DID YOU SAY NAMOR? THE SUB-MARINER?
I THOUGHT OLD POINTY-EARS WAS ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS.
WHEN IT SUITS HIM.
NAMOR CARES ABOUT HIS PEOPLE FIRST AND LAST.
IT IS NOT WISE TO GET IN HIS WAY.
WE HAVE REACHED THE COORDINATES.
THANK YOU, VISION.
THIS IS WHERE I GET OFF.
GET OFF? SHE'S LEAVING?
JAN'S GOING TO ENGLAND
TO HELP WITH RELIEF EFFORTS AND SEISMIC ANALYSIS
WHILE THE REST OF US GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
I'LL GIVE YOUR REGARDS TO THE PRIME MINISTER.
I COULD GO WITH HER.
NO, TIGRA.
ONCE WE REACH THE OCEAN FLOOR,
WE'LL NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET.
THAT'S JUST GREAT.
WE HAVE LOTS OF TERRITORY TO COVER, AVENGERS,
SO KEEP YOUR COM LINKS ON STANDBY.
HEY, TIGRA, SQUEEZE ME ANY HARDER
AND YOU'LL CRUSH MY AIR TANK.
THEN LEARN TO STEER THIS THING.
YOU'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
MY STEERING'S FINE.
IT'S YOU I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
COME ON, TIGRA, WHAT'S THE --
OHH!
SAM, WHAT WAS --
UGH!
WARN... THE OTHERS.
AAAAAAH!
LET ME GO!
DR. PYM, HAVE I BEEN HERE BEFORE?
IN A WAY.
THE LAST TIME WE CAME TO ATLANTIS,
WONDER MAN WAS WITH US.
YES. OF COURSE.
HELP!
HE-E-E-E-E-LP!
AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!
ON OUR WAY.
OHH!
VISION! IT'S AN AMBUSH!
RETURNING THEIR FIRE NOW.
UGH!
NAMOR!
THIS BATTLE IS OVER.
NAMOR, AFTER ALL THE TIMES WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER --
AND THE TIMES WE HAVE FOUGHT EACH OTHER.
WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU NOW?
HEY. WHY SHOULD WE TRUST YOU?
WE CAME DOWN HERE TO DEAL WITH SOME SUSPICIOUS EARTHQUAKES.
MAYBE YOU'RE BEHIND THEM.
YOUR EYESIGHT IS AS FLAWED AS YOUR HEARING, HAWKEYE.
DID YOU NOT SEE THE DAMAGE SUFFERED BY MY KINGDOM?
NO. I WAS TOO BUSY GETTING ATTACKED BY HALF YOUR ARMY.
OH, IT IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE PAIN YOU WILL ENDURE
IF I SO ORDER IT.
WHAT'S THE MATTER, NAMOR -- AFRAID TO DO THE JOB YOURSELF?
A TEMPTING SUGGESTION.
NAMOR, PLEASE.
WE ARE NOT YOUR ENEMIES.
WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU.
ALSO A TEMPTING SUGGESTION.
WHY DOES HE SPEAK TO HER IN THAT MANNER?
EASY, PAL. YOU SOUND JEALOUS.
PRINCE NAMOR, EVERY DAY, THE GROUND BENEATH US CRACKS.
OUR HOPES CRUMBLE. HUNDREDS ARE INJURED.
NOW THESE SURFACE-DWELLERS APPEAR.
WHAT IF THERE IS A CONNECTION?
YES. YES.
WHAT IF THEY ARE THE FIRST WAVE OF -- OF SOME SORT OF INVASION?
IF THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE TREMORS,
THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
IF THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE.
YOUR HIGHNESS, I REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE DIVIDED LOYALTIES.
AFTER ALL, YOU ARE HALF HUMAN.
HOWEVER, YOUR SUBJECTS MAY BE LESS SYMPATHETIC.
THERE IS MUCH UNREST.
STIRRED UP BY THAT BARBARIAN ATTUMA!
BUT THE PEOPLE WANT SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE ACTION.
ENOUGH!
I SHALL DEAL WITH THE HUMANS
IN MY OWN WAY... IN MY OWN TIME.
GUARDS, LOCK THEM UP.
IF THEY MAKE A MOVE TO ESCAPE, DESTROY THEM.
THE REST OF YOU, LEAVE ME.
I WISH TO BE ALONE.
YOUR QUAKES HAVE DAMAGED MUCH OF THE CITY.
THE PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL.
GOOD.
NAMOR'S FOLLOWERS WILL RISE UP
AND RID THEMSELVES OF THAT PATHETIC PRINCE.
THEY WILL BEG FOR SOMEONE TO SAVE THEM --
SOMEONE LIKE ME!
SIR, THE DYNAMO IS FULLY RECHARGED.
EXCELLENT!
I SHALL TOPPLE CITIES, MOUNTAINS --
ANYTHING THAT STANDS IN MY WAY.
THE THRONE OF ATLANTIS SHALL BE MINE!
THEN THE SURFACE WORLD!
CAREFUL, VISION.
I- I'D LIKE TO BE ALL THERE WHEN YOU'RE DONE.
VISION, WHAT'S WRONG?
THE LACK OF SUNLIGHT -- ITS POWER RECHARGES ME.
EXTENDED TIME AWAY FROM THE SUN DRAINS MY ENERGY RESERVE.
ALL RIGHT, TIGRA,
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHEN THE ATLANTEANS ATTACKED?
YOU PANICKED. THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU.
BETWEEN YOU AND ME,
EVER SINCE I WAS TRANSFORMED INTO TIGRA,
I'VE HAD THIS -- THIS UNCONTROLLABLE FEAR OF WATER.
I- I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM,
BUT NOW HERE I AM --
TRAPPED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
I'M READY TO JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN!
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL SOMEONE?
WELL, I THOUGHT IF THE AVENGERS KNEW ABOUT MY WEAKNESS,
THEY'D NEVER LET ME JOIN.
THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE, GREER.
THEY BELIEVE IN YOU.
YOU OUGHT TO TRY TRUSTING THEM.
WELL, IT'S A LITTLE LATE NOW, HUH?
HERE COMES ANOTHER SHAKER.
EVERYONE, GRAB YOUR HELMETS! PRESSURIZE YOUR SUITS NOW!
WATER!
I HAVE TO GET OUT!
EVERYBODY, OUT!
WAIT! WHERE ARE FALCON AND TIGRA?!
TIGRA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? PUT ON YOUR HELMET.
I- I DON'T MATTER.
NO, YOU DO MATTER -- TO THE TEAM... AND TO ME.
FALCON! TIGRA! OVER HERE!
WHAT KEPT YOU TWO?
WE WERE TRAPPED BY A PIECE OF WALL.
VISION IS... GETTING WORSE.
WE MUST... HURRY.
FOLLOW ME IN THROUGH THE ROOF.
WHERE'S NAMOR?!
MAN. THIS GUY'S REMODELING BILL IS GONNA BE HUGE.
AAAAAH!
UGH!
NAMOR, WE'VE COME TO --
WHAT ARE YOU SURFACE-DWELLERS DOING TO MY KINGDOM?
NOTHING.
WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU?
IF WE WISHED YOU HARM,
WE WOULD WAIT UNTIL THE QUAKES DESTROYED YOUR DEFENSES,
THEN ATTACK...
AS YOU WOULD.
PRINCE NAMOR, YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU KILL ANT-MAN,
YOU MUST KILL ME, AS WELL.
WHOA! THAT WAS A 6.4 ON THE RICHTER SCALE.
NAMOR, WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER
TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THOSE QUAKES,
OR MILLIONS WILL DIE -- ABOVE AND BELOW THE SURFACE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT I COMPLETELY TRUST YOU.
BUT I FEAR ATLANTIS WILL NOT SURVIVE MUCH MORE OF THIS.
I ACCEPT YOUR PROPOSAL, AVENGER.
I KNOW EVERY INCH OF THIS OCEAN FLOOR
TELL ME WHAT YOUR INSTRUMENTS HAVE LEARNED.
OKAY, TO START WITH -- CURRENT SONAR IMAGING SHOWS
MUCH GREATER CRUST DAMAGE IN THIS SECTOR
AND THE HEIGHTENING OF THIS RIDGE.
THE BURNING FIELDS.
THEIR BRITTLE OCEAN FLOOR ROLLS WITH MISERY AND DEATH.
IT IS NO PLACE TO LIVE, BUT PERHAPS A CLEVER PLACE TO HIDE.
CUTE LITTLE PLAYGROUND.
I DON'T SEE ANY BAD GUYS MAKING EARTHQUAKES.
MAYBE YOU NEED TO LOOK MORE CAREFULLY.
A BARBARIAN DAGGER.
I SENSE THE EVIL OF ATTUMA IN THIS PLACE.
UNIDENTIFIED MARINE LIFE APPROACHING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS.
BARBARIAN SEA SLUGS!
TIGRA, STAY WITH THE SHIP.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT RESTARTED.
BUT YOU NEED ME OUT THERE.
NO, I NEED YOU IN HERE -- DRY AND WITH YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU.
YOU CAN DO IT, TIGRA.
I TRUST YOU.
CAN YOU MAKE IT, VISION?
I... SHALL DO WHAT I CAN.
I HAVE YOU NOW, PUNY HUMAN.
SORRY. DID YOU SAY "PUNY"?
WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!
AAAAH!
AAAAAAAAH!
THAKOS, DARA --
YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME TO ATTUMA.
ATTUMA IS OUR FUTURE.
YOU... HALF HUMAN.
YOU WERE NEVER ONE OF US.
FAREWELL, DEAR PRINCE.
UGH!
WHAT DO YOU KNOW, NAMOR.
THAT ROTTEN SMELL WASN'T YOU, AFTER ALL.
NOW... WHERE IS ATTUMA?!
OHH...
AAAAAAH!
ATTUMA!
LOOK UPON YOUR DEATH, NAMOR.
MY DYNAMO CAN SPLIT THE EARTH.
I WILL GO TO YOUR PRECIOUS ATLANTIS
AND BLAME THE AIR-BREATHERS FOR THE DAMAGE.
YOUR SUBJECTS WILL BEG ME
TO LEAD AN INVASION OF THE SURFACE WORLD!
NOT WHILE I HAVE BREATH LEFT IN ME!
YOUR AGE BETRAYS YOU, NAMOR.
I AM FASTER.
I AM STRONGER.
I AM...
FINISHED!
OHHHHHH!
HENRY, I JUST RECEIVED A SEISMIC REPORT.
THERE'S ANOTHER QUAKE BUILDING, AND IT'S THE BIGGEST ONE YET.
I KNOW, JAN. WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
THERE MUST BE A WAY TO SHUT IT DOWN!
I SHALL NOT ALLOW IT TO DESTROY ATLANTIS!
LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER.
HELP ME ATOP THE MACHINE.
ARE YOU... SURE YOU CAN DO THIS?
I... MUST... TRY.
INCREASING DENSITY.
IT IS MOVING, BUT NOT ENOUGH.
MAYBE I CAN HELP.
HEY, HAWKEYE, YOU STILL WANT TO TUSSLE WITH NAMOR?
BAD IDEA.
FISH FACE?
GET HIM OUT OF WATER, AND I CAN TAKE HIM.
IN YOUR DREAMS, PAL.
CLEANUP OPERATIONS HERE AND IN THE REST OF EUROPE ARE GOING NICELY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD USE MORE HELP.
CARE TO... JOIN US, NAMOR?
MY DUTIES ARE BELOW, WITH MY SUBJECTS.
I HAVE A CITY TO REBUILD.
BESIDES...
I'M NOT VERY WELCOME IN YOUR WORLD.
NEVERTHELESS, PERHAPS SOMEDAY,
YOU AND I CAN ARRANGE A LITTLE... SOCIAL CALL.
NAMOR, I WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
EXTRAORDINARY FELLOW, THAT NAMOR.
YEAH? WELL, I STILL DON'T TRUST HIM.
YOU JUST GOT TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
A LITTLE FAITH IN SOMEONE CAN -- CAN MEAN A LOT.
VISION, HOW'S THE RECHARGE COMING?
IF HE'S NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO FIGHT YET,
AT LEAST HE'S GONNA HAVE A GREAT TAN.
IS SOMETHING FUNNY?
THE EARTH TREMBLED.
THE SEAS CHURNED.
YET THE AVENGERS LIVE.
I MUST STOP LEAVING THEIR FATE IN THE HANDS OF OTHERS!
