Eitri: You were supposed to protect us. Asgard was supposed to protect us!
Thor: Asgard is destroyed.
[Eitri stops his attack on Thor. He now believes Thanos had destroyed Asgard and leaving him in a similar survivor role like Eitri himself.]
Thor: Eitri, the Glove. What did you do?
Eitri: [Sits down] Three hundred dwarves lived on this ring. If I thought I did what he asked, they'd be safe. I made what he wanted. A device capable of harnessing the power of the stones. And he killed everyone anyway, all except me. "Your life is yours," he said. "But your hands– your hands are mine alone." [Holds up his hands, encased in hardened molten metal]
Thor: Eitri, this isn't about your hands. Every weapon you've ever designed – every axe, hammer, sword – it's all inside your head. Now, I know it feels like all hope is lost. Trust me, I know. But together, you and I, we can kill Thanos.
[Cut to Nebula suspended in the interrogation room seen earlier, while a technician puts her back together. Nebula ejects her eyepiece and snaps the neck of the tech when he comes close enough to replace it. She walks to a console, straightening her left arm, dragging her still-dislocated right foot behind her, and inputs a code.]
Nebula: Mantis, listen very carefully. I need you to meet me on Titan.
Thor: Asgard is destroyed.

Tony Stark: [While pulling] Is he under? Don't let up.
Mantis: Be quick. He is very strong.
Tony Stark: Parker, help! Get over here. [Spider-Man drops his web-line, and hurries to help Tony with the gauntlet.] She can't hold him much longer. Let's go.
[Star-Lord flies over to join the others.]
Peter Parker: We gotta open his fingers to get it off.
Peter Quill: [Stands in front of Thanos, tauntingly] I thought you'd be harder to catch. For the record, this was my plan. Not so strong now, huh? Where is Gamora?
Thanos: My... Gamora...?
Peter Quill: No, bullshit! Where is she?
Mantis: [Shocked] He is in anguish.
Peter Quill: Good.
Mantis: [Crying] He... he... he mourns.
Drax: What does this monster have to mourn?!
Nebula: Gamora...
Peter Quill: [Pause] What?
Nebula: [Realizing with horror and sadness what has happened] He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone, but she didn't.
Tony Stark: [Grasps the danger immediately and de-helmets] Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, you understand?
[Quill slowly turns to Thanos]
Tony Stark: [Shouting his pleads desperately] Don't, don't, don't engage, we almost got this off!
Peter Quill: Tell me she's lying. [Enraged] ASSHOLE! Tell me you didn't do it!
Thanos: I... had... to...
Peter Quill: [While starting to tear up; quietly] No, you didn't! No, you didn't! [He continues to rage and then pistol-whipping Thanos twice in the face, causing Mantis to let go in pain.] NO, YOU DIDN'T!
Tony Stark and Drax: Quill!
[Iron Man leaps for Star-Lord's arm, re-helmeting and leaving Spider-Man to pull off the gauntlet.]
Tony Stark: [To the struggling Star-Lord] Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!
Peter Parker: It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! [Getting the fingers completely loose] I got it! I got it–!
[Thanos wakes completely, now well and truly furious. He head-butts Mantis, grabbing the cuff of the gauntlet just as it is sliding off his hand, causing Spider-Man to stumble back, and then throwing Mantis away off his shoulders.]
Peter Parker: [Seeing Mantis with far too much air under her] Oh, God. [He jumps and wraps his arms and legs around her, extending his spider legs to form a roll cage for a safe landing.]
Mantis: Be quick. He is very strong.
Tony Stark: Parker, help! Get over here. [Spider-Man drops his web-line, and hurries to help Tony with the gauntlet.] She can't hold him much longer. Let's go.

Thanos: [Walking closer to the Scarlet Witch] I understand, my child. Better than anyone.
Wanda Maximoff: [Snarls] You... could never.
Thanos: [Reaches down to presume to stroke her hair, as if in comfort] Today, I lost more than you can know. But now is no time to mourn. Now... is no time at all. [He reaches forward, clenching the gauntlet, emerald filigree surrounding his wrist, making a gesture very similar to that Doctor Strange made when activating the Eye of Agamotto. In response, a bead of yellow light starts gathering in on itself as time is reversed and growing in size, solidifying into an intact and conscious Vision]
Wanda Maximoff: No! [She lunges for Vision and is swatted away.]
[Thanos picks up Vision by the throat, lifting him to eye-level, and digs the fingers of his right hand into Vision's forehead, digging out the Mind Stone. He pulls it loose, and Vision goes limp and colorless; he tosses the lifeless android aside like trash. Bringing his gauntleted hand up, he slowly moves the Mind Stone over the last empty setting, and drops it in. The energy surge is much more than any previous – his torso is wreathed with iridescent static and he bellows from the sensations.]
[As Thanos studies the completed gauntlet, a massive bolt of lighting strikes him, digging him into the ground and grinding him back for meters. Thor has arrived, eyes glowing with power, stooping down from the sky like a bird of prey. The God of Thunder pauses his attack, reverses his position, raises Stormbreaker above his head and hurls it – Thanos fires the whole might of the gauntlet against it, but it only creates a rainbow-like bow-shock, not slowing the ax as it slams right into Thanos' chest. ]
Thor: I told you... You'd die for that!
[He takes hold of the back of Thanos's head and forces Stormbreaker deeper into his chest, staring angrily into his eyes while Thanos cries out in pain]
Thanos: You... should have gone for the head!
[He holds up his hand and snaps his fingers]
Thor: NO!
[Thanos is now briefly inside the Soulworld, where he sees a young Gamora on the home world of the Zen Whoberi]
Thanos: Daughter?
Gamora: Did you do it?
Thanos: Yes.
Gamora: [Beat] What did it cost?
Thanos: [Solemly] ...Everything.
[out of the Soulworld, Thanos is snapped back into reality, notices the damages inflicted on the scorched Gauntlet, and the stones are no longer glowing]
Thor: What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?!
[Thanos closes his fist, Using the Space Stone to teleport away, leaving Thor left on the Wakandan field]
Captain America: [Stumbles into the clearing, holding his left side] Where'd he go? Thor, where'd he go?
Bucky Barnes: Steve?
[Bucky suddenly collapses into a pile of ashes. Steve walks over and touches the ground where Bucky's ashes evaporated unbelievably. On the battlefield, Wakankan soldiers disintegrate to ashes, much to M'Baku's horror]
T'Challa: [While reaching for a fallen Okoye] Up, General! Up! This is no place to die. [He holds out his hand for Okoye. But T'Challa then turns into ashes and an anguish Okoye falls back on the ground]
Okoye: Kumkani?!
Groot: [Slowly corroding into ashes as well] I... am... Groot... (Translation: "Dad?")
Okoye: [Off-screen] KUMANI!
Rocket: No. No, no, no, no! Groot... No...
[Scarlet Witch is mourning over Vision. She then turns into ashes. An injured Falcon turns to ashes, hidden in the brush]
War Machine: [Searching for Falcon, missing him by only a few feet] Sam!
[Okoye is seen hyperventilating fearfully over T'Challa's disappearance]
War Machine: [Off-screen] Sam, where you at?!
[Back on Titan, the remaining members of the Guardians and Avengers help themselves up from their battle against Thanos they had lost]
Mantis: Something's happening. [She gets disintegrated into ashes]
Drax: Quill?
[Drax gets disintegrated next]
Tony Stark: Steady, Quill.
Peter Quill: [Staring around in horror] Aw, man.
[Quill turns into ashes also]
Dr. Strange: Tony. [Tony turns to Dr. Strange] There was no other way. [Finally gets erased]
Peter Parker: [Realizing that he's fading away] Mr. Stark? I don't feel so good...
Tony Stark: [Trying to be calm] You're alright.
Peter Parker: [Stumbling and terrified] I don't... I don't know what's happening. I don't– [Parker falls into Stark's arms, clutching him tight and crying] I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go! Sir, please. Please, I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go. I'm sorry.
[Parker disintegrates into ashes in Stark's arms.]
Nebula: [To Tony Stark, seeing Thanos' victory] He did it.
[Stark mourns silently at their failure it caused. Back on Wakanda, the remaining team members, Captain America, Thor, War Machine, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, and Rocket are left mourning near Vision's dead body.]
War Machine: What is this? What the hell is happening?
Captain America: [Pause] Oh, God.
[Meanwhile, in a different place, in a rustic house on a terraced slope with a scarecrow made of discarded armor, Thanos sits down and watches the sun rise.]
Wanda Maximoff: [Snarls] You... could never.
Thanos: [Reaches down to presume to stroke her hair, as if in comfort] Today, I lost more than you can know. But now is no time to mourn. Now... is no time at all.
