From THOR 2


MALEKITH kills FRIGGA and a short montage of the funeral.


V.O
The Allfather was devastated after the death of his
beloved wife Frigga in the hands of Malekith - he did 
not have the strength nor the will to oppose Loki.



CUT TO:


INT – A CORRIDOR UNDER THE ASGARDIAN PALACE,
VARIOUS PRISON CELLS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CORRIDOR


ODIN is walking down a corridor followed by two GUARDS.
LOKI is walking behind them. They stop at a large wooden door with a small window. LOKI opens the door and steps aside gesturing to ODIN to walk inside. The two GUARDS position themselves on both sides of the door, they stand there facing the corridor. 

ODIN walks into what appears to be series of interconnecting rooms. The first room is very scarcely furnished - there is a bed, a chair, a table and a bookcase. ODIN looks at the room briefly and turns to face LOKI who's standing at the doorway. ODIN looks weary.



LOKI
I have prepared these special lodgings for you. I'm sure
you will be very comfortable here. If there is anything
else you require please … do not hesitate to ask.


ODIN
My son, you do not know what you are doing.


LOKI
But of course I do. Haven't I watched you and learned
all my life? I will be be a great king. The best yet.
And – just a quick reminder - I'm not your son.


ODIN
You will not be great, nor will you be a king.


LOKI
Who's going to stop me? Thor doesn't care.
You have given up. Who's is next in line?
Hmm? (ODIN does not respond in any way) See?


LOKI turns away from ODIN.


LOKI (cond.)
I will come and visit you soon.


LOKI pulls the door shut and moves his hand over it,
the door makes a locking sound. LOKI leaves.
ODIN sits down on the bed.


CUT TO:


INT - THE ARGARDIAN THRONE ROOM


LOKI is sitting on the throne. THOR approaches.


THOR
Why are you sitting on the throne?


LOKI
Well, hello you too, brother.
You don't seem surprised I'm alive?


THOR
I received word.


LOKI
I trust you are well? How were your exciting adventures
in Midgard? I am so disappointed not to have received even 
a postcard. And to answer your confused enquiry - 
because I am the king of Asgard. Again.


THOR
King? Where's father?


LOKI
Don't fret, your father is quite safe. It seems he hasn't 
the fortitude to rule any more. And I'm sure you 
agree Asgard needs a king. Since you are not 
willing I believe the pleasure falls to me.



THOR
You claim to be of Jotunheim, refuse to call yourself my
brother and yet when it suits you you are Asgardian. You
are the one who is confused. You have no right to sit
up there. No more or less as you did before.


LOKI
Interesting word … “before”. Surely you mean
always”. And omit the no on both accounts.


THOR
Don't toy with me Loki. I have had enough your games.


LOKI
Oh, but these are not games. I haven't got time
for games. These are simply … the facts. Now,
tell me, what useful position shall we find
for you in the kingdom?


THOR
None. Do what you will. I am going back to Midgard.


LOKI
Yes of course … Love! Give her my best,
I'm sure she misses me.


THOR
When it all goes wrong and it undoubtedly will …
don't come to me for help.


LOKI
Don’t worry, we’ll be fine. Now, it gets quite cold
down there sometimes - doesn't it? I'll have someone
knit you few pairs woolly socks if you wish?


THOR looks at LOKI with indifference and walks away.


CUT TO:


INT – A CORRIDOR IN THE ASGARDIAN PALACE
LEADING AWAY FROM THE THRONE ROOM.


THOR runs into SIF who's walking towards him.


SIF
Thor? When you did get back?


THOR
Just now. But I'm going back straight away.
What has he (points to the throne room)
done with father?


SIF
The Allfather is safe but he is locked up.


THOR
Show me.


SIF
This way.



THOR and SIF go down a set of stairs.


CUT TO:


INT – OUTSIDE ODIN'S CELL BELOW THE ASGARDIAN PALACE


THOR
(To the GUARD standing on the right next to Odin's cell)
Open this door.


GUARD
I'm afraid I'm unable.


THOR
Open this door at once.


SIF
He's not lying. Loki cast a spell to lock the door.


ODIN gets up from the bed, comes to the
door and speaks to THOR through the
small window in the door.


ODIN
It's all right my son. I am fine.


THOR
Father. You are the king of Asgard.
You can not let Loki have his way.


ODIN
I am tired. I have had enough. Loki can do as he wishes.
I'm sure he will not harm the citizens of Asgard and that
is all I can ask for. Go, do what you must but please
I beg of you - do not get into a fight with him. He will 
not give up – he will fight you to death. Let him be.


THOR
Why has he locked you up?


ODIN
He did not give me a reason. I can only assume
he is afraid I might want to take charge again.


THOR
Father, you should! I can talk to him, make him see sense.


ODIN
No. That will do no good. Just let him be.


THROR
Father?

ODIN
Go.


THOR bows his head and leaves. SIF walks behind him.



CUT TO:


INT - JANE'S HOUSE ON EARTH, KITCHEN


THOR arrives through the back door into the kitchen
and hugs JANE who's standing by the sink doing the dishes.
She is surprised to see him.


JANE
Thor! You're back so soon?


THOR
Yes. Loki has lost his mind and declared himself
king. Father asked me not challenge him.


JANE
Oh. Well, I'm glad you're back. I have some news
that will hopefully make you feel better.


THOR
Yes?


JANE takes THOR’S hand and places it on her belly


JANE
I'm pregnant.


THOR
Really?!


JANE
(Laughs with tears in her eyes) Yes, really.


THOR
Jane, that is the best news.



THOR kisses JANE on the forehead and
takes her by the hand and kisses her
knuckles. They hug.

CUT TO:


INT – THE ASGARDIAN THRONE ROOM


LOKI sitting on the throne. SIF, FANDRAL, VOLSTAGG,
HOGUN and HEIMDALL all stand in front of him.


LOKI
This, my friends, (Spreads his arms and points to
the throne) is the now the order of things. Either
embrace me as your king … or leave never to return.


FANDRAL
(Mutters to himself under his breath)
It's like some sort of nightmare deja-vu ...


LOKI
Excuse me?


FANDRAL
Nothing, My Liege. I said “Nice to see you too”.



They all look at each other and after
a while they kneel one by one.


LOKI
Excellent. As I thought. Now, go about
your business. It's a new day in Asgard.



They get up and leave. LOKI looks pleased with
himself. He puts his hands behind his neck,
leans back on the throne and sighs contentedly.


FANDRAL
(To the rest of the group while they're walking away from LOKI)
This is not going to end well.


SIF
When he is around does it ever?



CUT TO:

A MONTAGE

An aerial overview of POHJOLA. Then a close up montage: a
dark frosty gloomy place, everybody is dressed in threadbare
black clothes and have dirty tired faces and hands,
they're working on frozen fields and mines


CUT TO:


INT – THE THRONE ROOM OF LOUHI'S PALACE IN POHJOLA


Mistress Of The North LOUHI is looking over some paperwork on a big table in front of her throne. LOUHI'S pet LYNX with a shimmering collar coloured like the northern lights sits next to the table. Her daughter Miss Of The North, NEITO, the leader of Pohjola's army is standing next to her. LOUHI is not happy with what she sees. She slams the papers onto the table. They spread out and fall off the table. NEITO tries to comfort her by placing her hand on her mother's shoulder but LOUHI grabs NEITO'S hand and throws it off her.


V.O
The peace was not to last long. Mistress Of The North
called LOUHI, a witch of great powers, the ruler of Pohjola, 
a dark and desolate place on the furthest edge of the Northern Hemisphere, had other plans. For decades she had been
looking for one final piece of magic to add to her great machine, a forge called Sampo, in which weapons so strong no power or magic would be able to withstand them, can be built.


A group of 4 SCIENTISTS enter the throne room. They bow their heads to LOUHI. The head scientist VISIN gives LOUHI some drawings of a great machine, a forge. LOUHI has a quick look at the drawings and shoves them back into VISIN'S hands.


LOUHI
It's not good enough! It needs … more!
Something more! I can't wait another 100 years!


VISIN
I assure you, Your Highness, as soon as you get me what
I've asked for it will be just as you want.


CUT TO:


INT – THE ASGARDIAN GUARDS QUARTERS


A group of 6 Asgardian GUARDS are sitting round a large table. They're deep in discussion. A spy, LOUHI’S right hand man called KIJA arrives through a wormhole which appears on the wall. He gives the HEAD GUARD sitting at the the head of table a scroll. The HEAD GUARD offers KIJA a drink. KIJA takes the drink and sits down in the corner of the room. The HEAD GUARD opens the scroll and reads out loud LOUHI'S message to the other guards.


V.O
LOUHI has spies in many realms. She hears that a
group of Asgardian guards are not happy Loki is on the
throne. She seizes the opportunity to get them to steal
Uru”, a powerful metal which is able to store powers
and magic, for her in return for well paid 
positions in her employ.


CUT TO:


INT – THE ASGARDIAN WEAPONS AND ARTEFACTS VAULT


The HEAD GUARD enters the vault, has quick look around,
finds a case of Uru, takes it and walks out.


CUT TO:


INT – THE ARGARDIAN GUARDS QUARTERS


The HEAD GUARD enters carrying the case containing Uru.


THE HEAD GUARD
(To the other GUARDS)
I will be back for you once the deal with Louhi is done.


The other GUARDS nod in agreement.


KIJA writes ancient text in an shape of an arc on a wall of the guards room. A wormhole opens up. The HEAD GUARD and KIJA walk into the wormhole. The wormhole closes up behind them.


CUT TO:


INT – THE THRONE ROOM OF LOUHI'S PALACE IN POHJOLA


The HEAD GUARD and KIJA come through a wormhole which appears on a wall of LOUHI'S throne room. As soon as they are through the hole closes up. LOUHI gets up from her throne and stands
in front of it, gesturing to KIJA eagerly.


LOUHI
Finally! Show me!


KIJA and the HEAD GUARD bow their heads.


KIJA
Your Highness.


KIJA walks over to the table in front of LOUHI'S throne,
places the case containing the Uru on the table and opens it.



LOUHI
Oh! Wonderful. (She almost touches it)
Ooh! It's so … delightful.


The HEAD GUARD approaches the table.


THE HEAD GUARD
(To LOUHI)
Madam, your end of the bargain?


LOUHI
Ah yes! Of course. Silly me! Where are my manners?


LOUHI points to the HEAD GUARD and a lightning bolt comes out of her finger, winds around the neck of the HEAD GUARD and starts to strangle him. She slowly lifts him up and once he is high enough, she moves her hand quickly towards the wall and releases the lighting. The guard bounces off the wall and falls to the floor.
