Original subtitles

Millions of years ago...

a meteorite made of vibranium...

the strongest substance in the universe...

struck the continent of Africa...

affecting the plant life around it.

And when the time of men came...

five tribes settled on it and called it...

Wakanda.

The tribes lived in constant war with each other

until a warrior shaman

received a vision from the panther goddess Bast

who led him to the heart-shaped herb.

A plant that granted him superhuman strength,

speed and instincts.

The warrior became king...

and the first Black Panther.

The protector of Wakanda.

Four tribes agreed to live under the king's rule.

But the Jabari Tribe isolated themselves in the mountains.

The Wakandans used vibranium to develop technology

more advanced than any other nation.

But as Wakanda thrived,

the world around it descended further into chaos.

To keep vibranium safe,

the Wakandans vowed to hide in plain sight...

keeping the truth of their power from the outside world.

-Lucky shot! -That ain't lucky!

-Whatever! -Get outta here!

Check up. No dirties.

What?

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Got you, E!

Watch me get this...

Tim Hardaway style. That's what I call it, baby.

Hey, look, if we get in and out quick, won't be no worries.

You're in the van, come in through from the west.

Come around the corner.

-Land right here. -Mm-hmm.

Me and the twins pullin' up right here.

We're leaving this car behind, okay? We come this...

Hide the straps.

Yo, is it the feds?

No.

These two Grace Jones lookin' chicks.

They own spears.

Open it.

You serious?

They won't knock again.

Who are you?

Prince N'Jobu, son of Azzuri.

Show me you're one of us.

My King.

Leave us.

This is James. I trust him with my life. He stays.

With your permission, King T'Chaka.

As you wish.

At ease.

Come, brother.

Let me see how you're holding up.

You look strong.

Glory to Bast, I am in good health.

How's home?

Not so good.

Little brother.

There has been an attack.

This man...

Ulysses Klaue...

stole a quarter ton of vibranium from us

and triggered a bomb at the border to escape.

Many lives were lost.

He knew where we hid the vibranium...

and how to strike.

He had someone on the inside.

Why are you here?

Because I want you to look me in the eyes...

and tell me why you betrayed Wakanda.

I did no such thing.

Tell him who you are.

Zuri, son of Badu.

What?

James.

James, you lied to me?

-Leave him be. -I let you into my home...

You were Wakandan this whole time?

-You betrayed Wakanda! -How can you lie to me?

Stand!

Down.

Did you think that you were the only spy we sent here?

Prince N'Jobu,

you will return home at once...

where you will face the Council

and inform them of your crimes.

Look up!

Guard your man, guard your man!

The tiny nation of Wakanda is mourning the death

of its monarch, King T'Chaka.

The beloved ruler was one of many confirmed dead

after a terrorist attack at the United Nations a week ago.

The suspect has since been apprehended.

Though it remains one of the poorest countries in the world,

fortified by mountain ranges

and an impenetrable rain forest,

Wakanda does not engage in international trade

or accept aid.

The succession of the throne

is expected to fall to the oldest of the king's two children,

Prince T'Challa.

My prince...

Coming up on them now.

Sambisa Forest, Nigeria

No need, Okoye. I can handle this alone.

Hmm.

I will get Nakia out as quickly as possible.

Just don't freeze when you see her.

What are you talking about?

I never freeze.

What's going on?

Lost power.

Won't start.

The car not start.

What happened?

The engine's failed.

Ours too.

What is it, Captain?

Defense positions.

Defense positions.

Are we under attack?

Defense positions.

N'jou! Get around to the side.

Defense positions.

Hey! Defense positions!

No games.

What do you see?

Come in. Come in.

-Over there! -Look back!

Watch out!

T'Challa, no!

This one's just a boy.

He got kidnapped as well.

Nakia...

I...

-I wanted... -Hey!

I have her! Don't move! I will shoot!

I will shoot her right--

You froze.

Ah.

Why are you here? You ruined my mission.

My father is dead, Nakia.

I will be crowned king tomorrow.

And I wish for you to be there.

Carry yourselves home now.

And take the boy. Get him to his people.

Thank you.

You will speak nothing of this day.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sister Nakia...

my Prince...

we are in home.

This never gets old.

Queen Mother...

Princess...

A comfort for your loss.

Thank you, Nakia.

It is so good to have you back with us.

Take her to the River Province to prepare her for the ceremony.

Yes, General.

Did he freeze?

Like an antelope in headlights.

You finished?

So surprised my little sister came to see me off

before our big day.

You wish.

I'm here for the EMP beads. I've developed an update.

Update? No. It worked perfectly.

How many times do I have to teach you?

Just because something works

doesn't mean that it cannot be improved.

You are teaching me? What do you know?

More than you.

I can't wait to see what kind of update you make

to your ceremonial outfit.

Shuri!

Sorry, Mother!

How are you feeling today, Mother?

Proud.

Your father and I would talk about this day all the time.

He is with us...

and it is your time to be king.

London, United Kingdom

Good Morning.

How can I help you?

Oh, just checking out these artifacts.

They tell me you're the expert.

Ah, you could say that.

They're beautiful.

Where is this one from?

The Bobo Ashanti tribe.

Present day Ghana, nineteenth century.

For real?

And what about this one?

That one's from the Edo people of Benin,

sixteenth century.

Now, tell me about this one.

Also from Benin, seventh century.

Fula tribe, I believe.

Nah.

I beg your pardon?

It was taken by British soldiers in Benin,

but it's from Wakanda.

And it's made out of vibranium.

Don't trip. I'ma take it off your hands for you.

These items aren't for sale.

How do you think your ancestors got these?

You think they paid a fair price?

Or did they take it, like they took everything else?

Sir, I'm going to have to... ask you to leave.

You got all this security in here watching me ever since I walked in.

But you ain't checking for what you put in your body.

All right, mate, let's have it Come on, mate, time.

I think she might not be feeling too good.

Hey! Somebody get some help! Come here!

Call the doctor, please!

Hey, please, somebody come help!

Medical emergency right away in the

West African exhibit, please, right away.

Watch out.

Step back, please. Step back.

Ho! Medics coming.

I'm gonna take a break.

Let's give the lady some space, please.

Step back, please, gents. Step back, please.

Hey, come here.

Come here, come here.

It's okay.

You can go, but just don't tell anyone, all right?

Bro, why you ain't just shoot him right here?

Because it's better to leave the crime scene more spread out.

Makes it look like amateurs.

Now then, let's see if you know what you're talking about.

That's just a taste.

-You're gonna be rich, boy. -You better sell that quick.

It's already sold.

Whatever you try, the Wakandans will probably show up.

Well, that'll make my day.

I can kill two birds with one stone.

You're not telling me that's vibranium too?

Nah, I'm just feelin' it.

Ahead!

Ahead!

I, Zuri,

son of Badu...

give to you...

Prince T'Challa...

The Black Panther!

The Prince...

will now have the strength of the Black Panther

stripped away.

Glory to the ancestors.

Glory to the ancestors.

Victory in ritual combat...

comes by yield or death.

If any tribe wishes to put forth a warrior,

I now offer...

a path to the throne.

The Merchant Tribe will not challenge today.

The Border Tribe will not challenge today.

The River Tribe will not challenge today.

The Mining Tribe will not challenge today.

Is there any member of a royal blood...

who wishes to challenge for the throne?

This corset is really uncomfortable.

So, could we all just wrap it up and go home?

Mother!

Hey.

-Are they Jabari? -Yes.

M'Baku, what are you doing here?

It's challenge day.

We have watched...

and listened from the mountains!

We have watched with disgust,

as your technological advancements

have been overseen by a child!

Who scoffs at tradition!

And now you want to hand the nation over to this prince...

who could not keep his own father safe.

Hmm?

We will not have it.

I say, we will not have it!

I, M'Baku...

leader of the Jabari...

I accept your challenge, M'Baku.

Glory to Hanuman.

Jabari!

Dora Milaje!

Ahead!

Let the challenge begin!

Oh!

Stand up!

Come!

T'Challa!

Where is your god now?

Hey!

Yes!

No powers!

No claws!

No special suit!

Just a boy, not fit to lead!

Show him who you are!

I am Prince T'Challa!

Son of King T'Chaka!

You can do this, T'Challa!

Yes!

Come on!

Yield! Don't make me kill you!

I would rather die!

T'Challa!

T'Challa!

T'Challa!

T'Challa!

T'Challa!

You have fought with honor!

Now yield!

Your people need you.

T'Challa!

Yield, man!

T'Challa!

T'Challa!

Yes!

Yes!

He-he-hey!

I now present to you,

King T'Challa!

The Black Panther.

Zuri.

My King.

Wakanda forever!

Wakanda forever!

Allow the heart-shaped herb

to restore the powers of the Black Panther...

and take the Ancestral Plane.

T'Chaka...

we call on you.

Come here to your son.

Glory to the ancestors.

Father.

My son.

I am sorry.

Stand up.

You are a king.

What's wrong, son?

I am not ready.

Have you not prepared...

your whole life to be king?

Have you not trained and studied...

always by my side?

That is not what I am talking about.

I am not ready to be without you.

A man who has not prepared his children for his own death

has failed as a father.

Have I ever failed you?

Never.

Tell me how to best protect Wakanda.

I want to be a great king, Baba.

Just like you.

You're going to struggle.

So you'll need to surround yourself with people you trust.

You're a good man

with a good heart.

And it's hard for a good man to be king.

Breathe.

T'Challa, breathe.

Breathe.

He was there.

He was there.

My father.

Just one.

Come home, Nakia.

I'm right here.

Stay.

I came to support you

and to honor your father.

But I can't stay.

It's just, I found my calling out there.

I've seen too many in need just to turn a blind eye.

I can't be happy here

knowing that there's people out there who have nothing.

What would you have Wakanda do about it?

Share what we have.

We could provide aid and access to technology

and refuge to those who need it.

Other countries do it, we could it do better.

We are not alike, these countries, Nakia.

If the world found out what we truly are...

what we possess,

we could lose our way of life.

Wakanda is strong enough to help others

and protect ourselves at the same time.

If you were not so stubborn, you would make a great queen.

I would make a great queen because I am so stubborn.

-Ah, see, you admit it! -If...if that's what I wanted.

Is that him?

Hoo!

Glory to Bast, man. Is he still growing?

Of course.

I see Nakia is back.

You guys going to work it out?

T'Challa...

What's wrong?

Nakia thinks we should be doing more.

More like what?

Foreign aid, refugee programs.

You let the refugees in,

they bring their problems with them.

And then Wakanda is like everywhere else.

Now if you said you wanted me and my men...

to go out there and clean out the world, then I'll be all for it.

But waging war on other countries has never been our way.

You too, huh?

Bast! We're in trouble.

My King.

My love.

You will never guess who just popped up on our radar.

A misidentified Wakandan artifact

was stolen yesterday from a British museum.

We have learned Ulysses Klaue

plans to sell the vibranium

to an American buyer in South Korea

tomorrow night.

Klaue has escaped our pursuits for almost 30 years.

Not capturing him is perhaps my father's greatest regret.

I wish to bring Klaue back here to stand trial.

Wakanda does not need a warrior right now.

We need a king.

My parents were killed when he attacked.

Not a day goes by when I do not think about

what Klaue took from us.

From me.

It's too great an opportunity to pass.

Take me with you.

We'll take him down together side by side.

I need you here protecting the border.

Then I ask...

do you kill him where he stands...

or you bring him back to us?

You have my word.

I will bring him back.

We will proceed with the mission.

My King!

Stop it. Stop it.

I've already sent a car ahead to Busan for you.

Who are you taking with you to Korea?

Okoye.

And Nakia as well.

You sure it's a good idea to take your ex on a mission?

Yes.

We'll be fine. Besides, you'll be on call should we need backup.

Yes!

I have great things to show you, brother.

Here are your communication devices for Korea.

Unlimited range, also equipped with audio surveillance system.

Check these out.

Remote access Kimoyo beads.

Updated to interface directly with my sand table.

Ah.

And what are these?

The real question is what are those?!

Why do you have your toes out in my lab?

What? You don't like my royal sandals?

I wanted to go old school for my first day.

Yeah, I bet the elders loved it.

Try them on.

Fully automated.

Like the old American movie Baba used to watch.

Mmm.

And I made them completely sound absorbent.

Interesting.

Guess what I call them.

Sneakers.

Because you...

Never mind.

If you're going to take on Klaue,

you'll need the best the design group has to offer.

Exhibit A.

-My design. -Old tech.

-Old? -Functional, but old.

"Hey, people are shooting me. Wait, let me put on my helmet."

Enough.

Now, look at these.

Do you like that one?

Tempting.

But the idea is to not be noticed.

This one.

Now tell it to go on.

Whoo!

The entire suit sits within the teeth of the necklace.

Strike it.

-Anywhere? -Mm-hmm.

Not that hard, genius!

You told me to strike it. You didn't say how hard.

I invite you to my lab, and you just kick things around?

Well, maybe you should make it a little stronger.

Hey...

Wait a minute.

The nanites absorb the kinetic energy

and hold it in place for redistribution.

Very nice.

Strike it again in the same spot.

You're recording?

For research purposes.

Delete that footage.

Busan, South Korea

This way.

Bast willing, this will go quickly

and I can get this ridiculous thing off my head.

It looks nice. Just whip it back and forth.

What? It's a disgrace.

Hello, Sophia.

Nice to see you.

Who are those two?

My friends from Kenya. Very wealthy. They're good.

Good for causing trouble...

like you?

Thank you.

Spread out.

The buyer is likely already here.

♪ You know I'll ride again ♪

♪ It's all the same ♪

♪ Tell me who's gon' save me from myself ♪

♪ When this life is all I know ♪

The woman outside.

What "trouble" was she referring to?

Ah. I got into a disagreement with some ivory traders.

-Made a bit of a mess. -Hm.

And will there be any trouble tonight, Miss Kenyan Heiress?

It depends...

on how quickly we finish the mission.

Can we please focus?

Thank you.

Here.

Glass of whiskey.

Eyes up.

Americans.

I count three.

Five.

How could you miss Grease Lightning there behind you?

Six.

I just spotted an old friend who works for the CIA.

It just got a little more complicated.

Agent Ross.

Your Highness.

You are buying from Klaue?

What I'm doing or not doing

on behalf of the U.S. government is none of your concern.

Now, whatever the hell you're up to...

Do me a favor, stay out of my way.

I gave you Zemo.

Didn't I keep it under wraps?

That the king of the third world country

runs around in a bulletproof cat suit?

I'd say we were even.

You really need to leave, now.

Klaue is leaving out that door with me.

You've been warned.

Three, craps.

Hey, you won!

You know what?

I think I'll just take these,

bring 'em over here

-and hold on for safekeeping. -Mm-hmm.

Okay, heads up. The King of Wakanda is here.

He cannot leave with Klaue.

All right.

Vibranium from the attack on Sokovia links back to a person

that I'm not actually saying I'm here to make a deal with.

But that deal will not be called off.

When the dust settles,

you and me can work something out.

I'm not here to make a deal.

Klaue, plus eight.

General.

In position to secure our exit.

And the vibranium?

I don't see it yet.

I thought there were no weapons allowed in here.

There's not supposed to be.

Somebody did not get the memo.

Definitely armed.

Well, that is quite the entourage.

You got a mix tape coming out?

Uh, yeah, yeah, actually, there is one.

I'll send you the SoundCloud link, if you like.

Hey, Dave, can you get the link to the...?

Please, don't make me listen to your music.

I just meant you got a lot of people with you.

You think they're for you?

Do not worry.

I can do a deal with you all by myself, thank you very much.

Six more. It's a set up.

You got the diamonds?

I think that's enough.

-We need to move on Klaue. -Stand down.

We can't afford a shootout.

Vibranium?

Well, I was going to buy a fancy suitcase, but I...

thought I'd save myself some money.

It's now or never.

Don't!

Hey!

I've been made.

Wakandans! They're here!

-Get out of here! -Kill them all!

Diamonds, quick!

Assassin!

You know,

you look just like your old man.

I made it rain!

Let's get out of here, boss!

That was awesome!

It was awesome!

Let's go! Go, go, go, come on!

-Do we just leave him? -He'll catch up.

Shuri!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Remote driving system activated.

Wait! Which side of the road is it?

For Bast's sake, just drive!

Okay, calm down.

Whoo! Let's go!

Put some music on. What do you think this is, a funeral?

What one is he in now?

Hey, split up!

-They're trying to lose us. -I'll take the right.

We'll take the other two. I see a shortcut.

I'm not going to make it!

Keep going!

Oh! Brother!

Hey, what was that?

Don't worry about it. You're doing great.

Guns.

So primitive.

It's a
