[Monica Rambeau meets Jimmy Woo on the outskirts of Westview]
Monica RambeauWhat's the story here, Agent Woo?
Uh, I've got a witness set up down the road in Westview, and this morning, it looked like he flew the coop.
Monica Rambeau
Your missing person is in the Witness Protection Program?
I have contacted known associates, relatives...
Monica Rambeau
And let me guess, none of them have seen him either?
No. None of them have ever heard of him. Something seemed hanky to me, so I took the first flight out of Oakland to interface with local law enforcement, which is when I encountered a new wrinkle.
Monica Rambeau
What is that?
[turns to the Sheriff of Eastview] Pardon me, Sheriff. Would you mind repeating your claim about Westview to my colleague here?
SSheriff
[with a billboard reading "Welcome to Westview" behind him] No such place.
Monica Rambeau
You're saying the town of Westview, New Jersey doesn't exist?
SSheriff
It's what I keep telling your G-Man here, but he won't listen.
Monica Rambeau
I see. And, um, I'm sorry, what ... What town are you from?
Thank you, Sheriff. I'll reach out if we need any further assistance.
This isn't a missing person's case, Captain Rambeau, it's a missing town. Population 3,892.
Monica Rambeau
Why haven't you gone inside to investigate?
'Cause it doesn't want me to. You can feel it, too, can't you? [They both look down the road at the Westview outskirts] Nobody's supposed to go in.
[Monica has broken character in front of Wanda by mentioning Pietro's death]
Monica Rambeau
[slipping out of character] I...don't remember. [Wanda steps menacingly towards Monica]
[in a harsh whisper] Who...are you?
Monica Rambeau
[forces a smile] Wanda, I'm just your neighbor.
Then how could you know about Ultron? [she conjures telekinetic energy in both of her hands] You're not my neighbor. And you're definitely not my friend. You are a stranger. An outsider. And right now, you are trespassing here. And I want you to leave. [she throws a bolt of energy at Monica, who is thrown backwards through the wall, two fences, and the Hex barrier]
[SWORD has sent a drone in to talk to Wanda]
Monica Rambeau
Wanda, this is Captain Monica Rambeau. Can you hear me? [Wanda glares up at the drone] I just want to talk. That's it. [As she watches, Wanda's eyes glow a bright red]
Monica Rambeau
Uh...my controls aren't working. Reconnect patch!
[to another agent] Disregard. Take the shot.
Monica Rambeau
What? No, the drone isn't armed.
[The drone operator fires the missile. Just as quickly, the feed goes dead]
Monica Rambeau
[rips off her headset; to Hayward] What did you do?!
[An alarm goes off]
SWS.W.O.R.D. agent
There's a breach, sir!
[Everyone piles out of the room, gets into their cars, and drives to the spot of the breach. After several seconds of waiting, the Hex barrier flickers a few times. Wanda emerges, dragging the drone behind her as she marches towards the S.W.O.R.D. agents]
Is this yours?! [Wanda tosses the drone at Hayward's feet]
The missile was just a precaution. You can hardly blame us, Wanda.
Oh, I think I can. This will be your only warning: Stay out of my home. You don't bother me, I won't bother you.
I wish it could be that simple. You've taken an entire town hostage.
I'm not the one with the guns, Director!
Monica Rambeau
But you are the one in control.
[irritated] You're still here. [Wanda conjures a ball of energy in her right hand]
Monica Rambeau
Wanda, I didn't know the drones were armed. But you know that, don't you? A town full of civilians and you, a telepath, brought a S.W.O.R.D. agent into your home. You trusted me to help deliver your babies! On some level, Wanda, you know I am an ally. I want to help you.
How? What could you possibly have to offer me?
Monica Rambeau
What do you want?
I have what I want. [glares at Hayward] And no one will ever take it from me, again.
Hey, there he is. The guy who almost got murdered by his own murder squad.
[regards Darcy] You work for me?
Monica Rambeau
She's with me.
I see. And which one of you is the sassy best friend?
There is no time for you to diminish your colleagues when you're about to start a war you can't win.
Maximoff was never gonna negotiate with us. We take her out, this whole nightmare ends.
Monica Rambeau
We don't know that. We actually have no idea what will happen in there or out here if Wanda dies.
So, what? We just surrender to that? Not happening.
Monica Rambeau
We can't outgun her. And clearly antagonizing her is only making things worse. If Wanda is the problem, she has to be our solution.
Captain Rambeau, you have become an impediment to this mission. Constantly advocating on behalf of super-powered individuals. Yes, I know your history with Carol Danvers. You know, you people who left, still have the luxury of optimism. You have no idea what it was like. What it took to keep the lights on.
Monica Rambeau
Don't use the last five years as an excuse to be a coward.
Maybe it's a good thing you weren't here when your mother died. Because clearly you don't have the stomach for this job. [Pause] Get her off my base. Now. All of 'em.
[Monica tracks down Wanda to her house in Westview]
Monica Rambeau
Wanda? Wanda!
Monica Rambeau
Wanda-
How did you get in here?!
Monica Rambeau
Listen to me. This whole thing, it's about Vision-
[seething] Get out of my house!
Monica Rambeau
Hayward was trying to bring him b- [Wanda grabs Monica and flings her out of the house, levitating her over the sidewalk]
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! THE DRONES! THE MISSILES! PIETRO! [laughs darkly]
Monica Rambeau
What, Pietro? No-no-no-no, that wasn't us!
[snarling] ALL YOU DO IS LIE!!! [Wanda shoves Monica into the sidewalk. Monica lands on the concrete, her eyes crackling with energy as she gets back on her feet]
Monica Rambeau
The only lies I've told are the ones you put in my mouth!
[conjures energy in her hands] Careful what you say to me.
Monica Rambeau
Do it then. Take me out. [Wanda's complexion falters, horrified by the suggestion] It's easy. That's where you and Hayward differ. He's going to burn Westview to the ground just to get what he wants. Don't let him make you the villain!
Maybe I already am. [Agnes looks out her window, investigating the commotion]
Monica Rambeau
Wanda, you have to trust me.
Monica Rambeau
I'm not afraid of you, Wanda. I lost the person closest to me, too. The worst thing I can think of has already happened to me. And I can't change it. I can't undo it. I can't control this pain anymore, and I don't think I want to, because it's my truth. [There's a pause as Wanda processes Monica's words] Wanda- [Agnes walks over]
Young lady, I think you overstayed your welcome. Poor Wanda's been through enough.
Monica Rambeau
This doesn't concern you. [Agnes puts her hands on Wanda's shoulders]
Oh yeah? Run along, dear. [Agnes begins steering Wanda towards her house]
Monica Rambeau
Wanda, you have to take it down!
[points a finger at Monica] No! Don't make me hurt you.
[Jimmy is overseeing the cleanup of Westview in the wake of Wanda's departure]
Monica Rambeau
Authority looks good on you, Jimmy.
Monica Rambeau
Ah, something about "Debriefs are for the weak."
