- New York City 2012
At the Avengers Tower, the Avengers minus the hulk tale Loki and the Tesseract down the elevator to the lobby The future Ant-Man and Tony Stark try to steal the Tesseract, and it ends up knocked over by Loki. Loki grabs it and teleports away.
In the Gobi Desert, Loki ends up falling into the sand after materializing in mid-air and falling. Several local tribesmen approach him, and Loki gets up on a rock outcropping and declares who he is. A portal opens and three Time Variance Authority police--Minutemen--come through it. They find the nearby tesseract, and Loki goes over and tells them not to touch it. Another officer, Hunter B-15, comes through and declares Loki a "variant". B-15 arrests Loki on behalf of the TVA for crime against the sacred timeline.
Loki isn't impressed, and tells them it's their last chance. B-15 hits him in the mouth with her baton, slowing him down to 1/16th speed, and puts a collar on him. When Loki collapses, the officers pick him up and B-15 tells the other officer to reset the timeline. As he plants a reset charge and activates it, B-15 picks up the Tesseract and takes Loki to the TVA base. Loki tries to run, but B-15 uses a remote and the collar it controls to reset Loki back to where he was. He tries to run again, and B-15 brings him back again.
B-15 has a clerk, Casey, enter the Tesseract into evidence. Loki tells Casey to be careful with the Tesseract as B-15 leads him off and shoves him into a cell with a robot. The robot disintegrates Loki's Asgardian clothing and then a trapdoor drops him into an office below. Loki is clothed in a gray prison jumpsuit, and another clerk at a desk shoves a pile of paper at Loki and tells him to verify it's everything Loki has ever said.
Loki finally signs and falls through another trapdoor, and a clerk has Loki testify that he's an organic being and possesses a soul. Once Loki does, the clerk tells him to move through an archway that will melt him from the inside if he is a robot. The archway takes a picture of Loki's temporal aura and a guard tells Loki to take a ticket. There's one other prisoner there who arrived when Loki did, and Loki takes a ticket on the guard's orders.
As Loki moves through the barriers, an animated presentation with Miss Minutes tells him that he's at the TVA and it's her job to catch Loki up before he stands trial for his crimes. She explains that there was a multiversal war and hundreds of warring timelines, and then three Timekeepers reorganized the universe into a single timeline, the sacred timeline. Now the Timekeepers preserve the proper flow of time for everyone and everything, but "variants" veer off the created path, people like Loki. They create a nexus event, which could lead to another multiversal war.
The Timekeepers created the TVA to deal with variants, setting time back on its proper path. Since the variant doesn't have a place in the timeline anymore, they have to stand trial for their offenses.
The other prisoner protests and a guard disintegrates him because he doesn't have his ticket. Loki quickly produces his.
In a church in Aix-En Province, France, in 1549, TVA Agent Mobius examines several dead Minutemen. Another Minuteman informs Mobius that when they arrive to investigate a nexus event, someone killed them. Mobius notes that the stab wounds appear consistent with the others on dead Minutemen, and the reset charge is gone. A Minuteman notes that it's the sixth attack in the last week, and a young local boy comes in.
Mobius approaches the boy and asks him if he saw who killed the Minutemen. The boy points at a nearby painted window showing the Devil, and Mobius says that the devil is afraid of them and they'll put the boy back where he belongs. The boy smiles, revealing blue tainted teeth, and Mobius asks what caused it. In response, the boy takes out a stick of blue gum and Mobius realizes the "devil" gave it to the boy.
The Minuteman warns Mobius that the timeline is near redline and they have to go. Mobius has the boy go outside, and as the Minutemen set a reset charge, a clerk portals in and shows Mobius the file on Loki, saying Mobius will want to see it.
B-15 brings Loki into a courtroom, and Judge Ravonna Renslayer says that he's charged with numerous sequence violations. Loki says that a god doesn't plead, and says that the Avengers are the ones who traveled through time. Mobius comes in and takes a seat, as Loki tell Ravonna that she should give him a taskforce to go after the Avengers. Ravonna says what the Avengers did what was supposed to happen, and Loki escaping was not, according to the Timekeepers.
Loki says that he should talk to the Timekeepers, but Ravonna says that they're busy dictating the proper flow of time. When he tries to teleport away, Loki discovers that his powers don't work. Ravonna tells him that magic powers don't work in the TVA, finds him guilty, and sentences him to be reset.
As Minutemen take Loki away, Mobius approaches the bench. Ravonna warns Mobius that what he's thinking is a bad idea, and if anything goes sideways it's on him. Mobius takes Loki to his office via a balcony overlooking the majestic TVA base. They then take an elevator down, and Mobius introduces himself. Mobius explains that he's taking Loki somewhere they can talk, and they both know that Loki loves to talk.
Mobius gets a baton from a guard and leads Loki into Mobius' office. Loki tries to attack Mobius, and Mobius uses a remote to move Loki back to where he started. Mobius has Loki sit down and then explains that he specialized in the pursuit of dangerous variants, and Loki isn't one of them. If Loki answers his questions honestly, then maybe Mobius can give Loki something he wants.
Starting with his first questions, Mobius asks Loki what he'll do if he returns. Loki says that he'll reclaim his throne, and Mobius wonders why someone with so much range just wants to rule.
Mobius then plays a film of some of Loki's "greatest hits". The agent points out that for someone "born to rule", Loki loses a lot. It might even be in his nature. When Loki notes that he killed Coulson, Mobius remind him that the Avengers united to avenge Coulson's death at Loki's hands. Mobius asks Loki if he enjoys hurting people, and Loki insists that he's a liberator.
The agent says that Loki is good at doing awful things and getting away, and plays a film of Loki posing as "Mr. Cooper", a passenger on a jetliner, hijacking the plane, jumping out with a bag of money. Heimdall teleports Loki away as he falls. Loki tries leave, disgusted with the conversation, and Mobius rewinds Loki back to his chair.
Loki asks Mobius what he wants, and Mobius says that he wants Loki to be honest about why he does what he does. Unimpressed, Loki says that the TVA is an illusion conjured by the weak to inspire fear. He insists that his choices are his own, and Mobius shows Loki a clip of him dominating a crowd in Berlin. Loki insists that when he has ultimate power, it will be cause of what he did, not because it was supposed to happen or because the TVA allowed it to happen. He dismisses the TVA as a footnote in his ascent.
Mobius explains that if Loki hadn't reacquired the Tesseract, he would have been taken to a cell on Asgard. The agent explains that the TVA can see Loki's future, and in the film it shows Loki's mother Frigga confronting Loki and then Loki sending the Dark Elves to kill Frigga. Loki insists that Mobius is lying, and Mobius tells Loki that it's the proper flow of time, and it happens again and again. He asks again if Loki enjoys hurting people, and Loki throws his chair at him in fury.
Mobius rewind Loki back to where he was sitting, but the chair isn't there so Loki falls on the floor. He then tells Loki that he was born to cause pain and suffering and death, and that's how it will always be... so that others can achieve their best versions of themselves. Mobius helps Loki up, and B-15 comes in and asks Mobius what he's doing. Mobius says that he's doing his job, and she says that they have a situation. The agent tells Loki to stay put and leaves with B-15.
Outside, B-15 tells Mobius that talking to the variant is a mistake. She says that they've lost another Minuteman unit, and Mobius goes back in to discover that Loki has escaped... and stole the time rewinder remote from him.
Loki returns to where he was, and spots Casey wheeling a card.
Mobius, B-15, and a squad of Minutemen search for Loki.
Loki slips into the room with Casey's desk, grabs the worker, and shoves him down. The Asgardian tells Casey to give him the Tesseract, and Casey opens his desk drawer and gives Loki the Tesseract. There are dozens of Infinity Stones in the drawer as well, and when Loki sees them, Casey tells him that they get a lot of them and some of the clerks use them as paperweights. Shocked, Loki wonders if the TVA is the greatest power in the universe.
B-15 comes in and Loki uses the twister to twist himself away. B-15 and her men continue their search for Loki.
Loki rewinds back to the office, and rewinds the film of his life to the point where Frigga is dead. He then finds his future where he and Thor meet Odin, and then further to where he and Thor join forces. Loki then plays the moment of his death, when Thanos kills him.
The film ends and Loki chuckles, and B-15 comes in and asks him what's so funny. He attacks B-15, and she easily gets him in arm hold. Loki uses the remote to remove the collar, put in on B-15, and rewind her repeatedly so she never touches him. Loki finally rewinds her out of the room.
Casey tells two Minutemen about his encounter with Loki. B-15 appears in front of them and storm off, disgusted.
Mobius returns to his office and tells Loki that there's nowhere left for Loki to run. Loki figures that he can't go back to his timeline, and says that he doesn't enjoy hurting people but he does it because he has had to. It's part of the illusion, a desperate play for control. Mobius figures that Loki does know himself and says that he doesn't see Loki as a villain.
Loki notes that the Tesseract is useless in the TVA, and Mobius says that he can offer Loki something better than salvation. He explains that a variant has been killing their Minutemen, and he needs Loki to help stop the variant. When Loki wonders why him, Mobius tells him that the variant they're hunting is Loki.
In Salina, OK, in 1858, a squad of Minutemen appear in a field. There's a sword driven into the ground, and the Minutemen confirm that it's anachronistic. There's oil on the ground, and they set a reset charge to "prune" the timeline. One of them spots the hooded Variant a few hundred feet away. He drops a lamp on the ground, and it bursts igniting the oil.
The Minutemen are set on fire and die, and the Variant picks up the reset charge.
