"Previously, on "Avengers":" " Tony, wait!" " I joined the Avengers to help you." "Including the villains." "You may be the only one that gets it." "Hank, you did it!" "You saved the world." "It's because of him that the world was in danger in the first place." "Ultron was his machine." "She's right." "I quit." "The Avengers mean a lot to me." "I thought they meant something to you, too." "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." "TheHulk, strongest hero there is." "And Captain America, the first Avenger." "~ Assembled we are strong, ~" "~ forever fight as one. ~" "AVENGERS!" "ASSEMBLE!" "Season2 ,Episode5:" ""To Steal An Ant-Man"" "Hank, you're back!" "I knew it!" "I knew you'd come back!" "This is where you belong!" " Jan..." " You'll get your lab here up and running again, you'll get all your weird bugs back, you'll do smart, crazy experiments..." "I was thinking, maybe we could upgrade my stings, maybe give me a power boost..." "Hank?" "Uh..." "What are you doing?" "I only came to clean up this lab, Jan." "I know you can't accept this, but..." "I'm done." "I'm done with the Avengers." "This isn't me anymore." "No!" " You're Ant-Man!" " I'm not, Jan." "I haven't been, since Ultron." "And, honestly?" "Probably even before that." "This is for the best." " OK, but..." " I'm leaving." "You're leaving... what?" "You're leaving the Avengers?" "You're leaving me?" "We can talk about this!" "We can make it work, if you'd just try!" "Please..." "Talk to me." "Jan..." "You and I were just..." " We want different things." " The Avengers..." "Are not a solution to the world's problems." "One day you'll see..." "This was all a house of cards." "It can't hold forever." "Twenty million dollars disappeared, in what we can only describe as a flash of light." "Bank personnel were not availabe for comment." " But the police confirmed..." " What does that even mean?" "You don't like all the fighting, I get it." "But maybe you could work with the team in other ways." "I mean, you're a genius, Hank!" "We need you!" "If you hate all this so much, then help us find a better way!" "Walking away isn't gonna help anyone!" "Can't you see how much this is hurting me?" "Hank...?" "Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" "I'm sorry, I have to go." "Are you kidding me?" "Hank...!" "Hank!" "No...!" "No, no, no!" "This can't be happening!" "Jan..." "Hank?" "Are you seriously calling me?" "I'm shocked you still have your ID card." "I figured you had already burned it, before it made you beat someone up." " Jan, listen..." " What, are you calling to quit again?" "I get it, Hank, you're not Avengers material, you made it perfectly clear." "I just didn't want to believe it." "Well, I'd never sit around and cry about things like Ultron." "I do something about it!" "So, the question is, Hank:" "What do you want?" "I just..." "Wanted to tell you that I'm sorry." "In trouble?" "Need help?" "Call now!" "Someone has stolen Ant-Man." "Whoever the thief was, they knew who I was, what I had, and where to find it." "Not to mention that they were able to circumvent one of the most advanced electronic locks on the planet." "All of my systems and alarms were disabled without me ever knowing it." "Not dealing with some common thief." "But someone of incredible intelligence." "The rest of the lab appears untouched." "It's obvious the Ant-Man gear was the target." "The helmet, the costume, the belt..." "All of which are dangerous in the wrong hands." "But the biggest danger..." "Is to whomever stole it." "If the thief were to activate the Pym particles in the belt, they'd find themselves in what would look like another world." "Waw..." "Trust me..." "Things look different when you're an inch high." "But more importantly..." "At that size, you are at a whole new level of the food chain." "And ants are nothing, if not territorial." "But even at ant-size, subjects exposed to Pym particles will maintain strength and speed levels relative to being full-sized." "Ant-Man is strong enough to take down full-sized humans." "And fast enough to keep up with them." "All that being said..." "The insect population has distinct advantages over an intruder." "Poison..." "Any number of secretions..." "No..." "No, stop!" "This makes communication, key." "The An-Man helmet allows for communication and influence of insects." "Esentially, allowing the wearer to control them." ""Land!"" "What worries me most, however..." "Are the Pym disks." "They were in development before Ultron..." "Before." "They were designed to be applied to a target and activate it." "Theoretically, shrinking it." "I thought..." "I thought they'd be a non-violent way to subdue super-villains." "The disks weren't stabilized yet." "When used, the affected targets don't stop shrinking." "They go sub-atomic." "For all intents and purposes, they shrink right out of existence." "It's vital the thief be found and subdued..." "Before he or someone else is hurt." "The damage that could be done..." "Staggers the imagination." "So, please..." "Will you take the case?" "Sure..." "But we'll need half our fee upfront." "Down!" "I said "down"!" "Hey!" "Yeah." "This is Michelini." "I need backup." "We've got a superhero snooping around here." "The money..." "Freeze!" "Lie down on the ground, or I will fire!" "Please..." "Just wait!" "Why us?" "I mean..." "Why would Hank Pym come to us?" "Why not go to his own team?" "He's an Avenger!" "I don't get it." "I do." "Man's got pride." "Some dude stole his super-powers." "And started robbing banks with them." "He probably didn't want to have to tell his Avengers buddies how bad he messed up." "That's a good point." "I wouldn't want to tell Captain America that." "But without his gear, he need some muscle to take this guy down." "What are you thinking?" "This bank..." "It's a front." "I remember some punks telling me it's run by HYDRA." "This guy's not too bright if he's ripping them off." "Pym said that whoever this is..." "They didn't even get the money." "He said it got sucked into something called the microverse." "That sounds messed up!" "Look...!" "What are you so happy about?" "We're working with the Avengers..." ""Power-Man" and "Iron-Fist"..." "Working with the Avengers." "Kind of exciting." "Man, knock that off." "I told you never to call me "Power-Man", Danny!" "If this guy bust a job, he'll try it again." "And if he's ripping off crooked banks, maybe he'll rob another." "Time to shake down some informants." "OK, fine." "Your informant was right." "You still didn't have to bend him like that." "Check it out..." "Looks like we've got some more super-heroes here." "Do we look like "super-heroes" to you?" "You mess with us, you're not going to jail." "You're going to the hospital." "He's called "unbreakable skin"." "Ha, ha, ha..." ""Tough guys"..." "They were in the lookout for more super-heroes." "Maybe they ran into Ant-Man." "You should be using that magic fist of yours to crack heads." "Not to focus your feng shui." "Focusing my chi..." "Maybe if you were open to focusing your own energy, you wouldn't be so angry all the time." "It's not healthy, Luke." "Luke..." "Sweet Christmas..." "Uh... sorry." "Wrong turn." "This is crazy!" "I can't even see him now!" "He's there!" "He's heading your way!" "Got him!" "That was easy!" "I don't wanna fight you!" "Too bad..." "He came back for the money!" "And he's gone." "Alright, for real, we're never telling anyone about that.." " F!" " Agreed." "He caught me off guard." "I'm just sayin'..." "Sure he did, Luke." " Cage." " It's Hank." "I finnished the Pym particle detector." "We can track the thief now." "Wherever he goes." "That's just great." "Ooh..." "I'm going to give you one chance to win this peacefully." "I suggest..." "Scott...?" "You know this guy?" "Scott Lang..." "He's the maintenance man from my lab in Greyburn." " Dr. Pym..." " Why?" "Why have you done this?" "People could have been hurt by my work!" "I'm sorry!" "I don't want to hurt anuone, I..." "Hello?" "I've got it!" "I've got the money." "Please, don't hurt..." "Mr. Lang..." "Scott..." "What's going on here?" "You wouldn't know this, but..." "I used to be an electrical engineer." "A pretty good one." "But then, my daughter got sick." "She had a rare disease, and there was a doctor..." "She needed money to finish a cure." "A lot of money." "I got involved with some bad people." "People who thought that I could put my engineering skills to use opening bank vaults." "Turnes out they were right." "And you gave it all up to mop floors?" "Not exactly." "I got caught." "But I did my time, and Cassie got better." "But when I got out, there weren't a lot of engineering jobs for ex-cons, so I took the janitor position at the college." "I didn't care." "All that mattered was that Cassie was alive." "But then..." "My old partner from the bank jobs found me." "Cross." "I never told him that I used all the money for Cassie's treatments." "He thought I hid it away before I got caught." "He thought I still had it, and he wanted his cut." "If I didn't give him what he wanted..." "He said he'd..." "He'd..." "I didn't have time to research and pull off a bank job, but I knew who you were, Dr. Pym." "The work you did in that lab, it was amazing." "And I knew I could use your equipment to get what I needed fast." "Why didn't you come to me?" "I could have helped." "Forget that." "You should have just gone and taken these chumps out." "Go all "Ant-Man" on them and save your daughter." "Are you crazy?" "I'm no super-hero!" "I'd just be putting Cassie in more danger." "No police, no heroes." "This is my daughter's life we're talking about." "We can help you, Scott." "No." "No one can help me." "No!" "Danny, you got him?" "I'm guessing he went out the window." "It won't be long now." "I've known your dad a long time, little Cassie." "Cross." "See?" "I told you." "Scott Lang is nothing if not reliable." "I've got the money, Cross." "Let her go." "Please." "Lang?" "What are you?" "Is this a joke?" "Are you Ant-Man?" "Cross..." "William." "Please." "Ant-Man?" "You should have told me." "Can you imagine what we could have been doing all this time?" "There's no vault we couldn't get into, no secret we couldn't steal." "Scotty, my boy, we're going to be very rich men." "No." "You got the money." "That was the deal." "Let Cassie go." "Guess what, 'Ant-Man?" "'" "The deal just changed." "I've got my very own super-hero now." "I'm afraid I can't let that happen." "No!" "Get out of here!" "I told you to stay out of this!" "And who are you three supposed to be?" "The Avengers?" "Yeah, we're the Avengers." "I'm Captain America." "My friend in the pyjamas is Thor." "Now how about you back off the girl before we avenge you upside the head?" " Pym?" " Everything is under control, Scott." "Really?" "I'm confused... because last time I checked," "I had the girl." "I hold all the cards." "I disagree." "No!" "Dad, can we do that again?" "I need you to stay right here, Cassie." "Do you understand?" "Daddy's got something he has to do." "You should have stayed out of this, heroes." "You have no idea who I am!" "They don't, but I do!" "You will never threaten my daughter again." "Do you hear me?" "Or what?" "You're not going anywhere." "Dad!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "I'm here." "I thought I'd lost her." "When you shrunk her, I thought she was gone forever, like the money." "The discs you used were prototypes." "The one I used on Cassie wasn't." "Thank you." "I'll hand over all your equipment, and then turn myself in." "Ant-Man was on an undercover mission for the Avengers." "They'll explain the bank robberies to the police." "I don't..." "I'm not Ant-Man." "You are now." "For someone claiming not to be a super-hero, you're pretty good at it." "Want a job?" "Yo!" "Pym!" "Where should I send our bill?"
