-
I'd be careful going that way.
-
We just had the floors waxed.
-
Yeah, I'm looking
for Doctor Strange.
-
You're about
five years too early.
-
Stephen Strange is currently
performing surgery
-
about 20 blocks that way.
-
What do you want from him?
-
That, actually.
-
Ah!
-
I'm afraid not.
-
Sorry, but I wasn't asking.
-
You don't want to do this.
-
You're right, I don't.
-
But I need that stone
and I don't have time to debate it.
-
Let's start over, shall we?
-
Please, please.
-
I'm sorry,
I can't help you, Bruce.
-
If I give up the Time Stone
-
to help your reality,
I'm dooming my own.
-
With all due respect,
all right...
-
I'm not sure the science
really supports that.
-
The Infinity Stones create
-
what you experience
as the flow of time.
-
Remove one of the stones...
-
and that flow splits.
-
Now, this may benefit
your reality...
-
but my new one, not so much.
-
In this new branch reality...
-
without our chief weapon
-
against the forces
of darkness...
-
our world would be overrun.
-
Millions will suffer.
-
So, tell me, Doctor.
-
Can your science
prevent all that?
-
No...
-
but we can erase it.
-
Because once we're done
with the stones...
-
we can return each one
to its own timeline...
-
at the moment it was taken.
-
So, chronologically...
-
in that reality...
-
it never left.
-
Yes, but you're leaving out
the most important part.
-
In order to return the stones,
you have to survive.
-
We will. I will. I promise.
-
I can't risk this reality
on a promise.
-
It's the duty
of the Sorcerer Supreme
-
to protect the Time Stone.
-
Then why the hell did
Strange give it away?
-
What did you say?
-
Strange. He gave it away.
He gave it to Thanos.
-
- Willingly?
- Yes.
-
- Why?
- I have no idea.
-
Maybe he made a mistake.
-
Or I did.
-
Strange is meant to be
the best of us.
-
So, he must've done it
for a reason.
-
I fear you might be right.
-
Thank you.
-
I'm counting on you, Bruce.
-
We all are.
