In Korea with Cho, Ultron and the Maximoff twins. "Cellular cohesion will take a few hours, but we can initiate the consciousness stream. We're uploading your cerebral matrix... now." Dr. Cho said. "I can read him. He is dreaming." Wanda affirmed. "I wouldn't call it dreams. It's Ultron's base consciousness, informational noise. Soon..." Dr. Cho replied. "How soon? I'm not being pushy." Ultron interrupted her. "We're imprinting a physical brain. There are no shortcuts. Even if your magic gem is..."
Wanda, reading Ultron's mind, saw a vision of global annihilation, which horrified her and she screamed and fell back into Pietro's hold. "How could you?" Wanda said. "How could I what?" Ultron asked. "You said we would destroy the Avengers, make a better world." Wanda replied. "It will be better." "When everyone is dead." "That is not-- The human race will have every opportunity to improve." "And if they don't?" Pietro asked. "Ask Noah." "You're a madman." Wanda affirmed. "There were more than a dozen extinction level events before even the dinosaurs got theirs. When the Earth starts to settle, God throws a stone at it, and believe me, he's winding up. We have to evolve. There's no room for the weak." "And who decides who's weak?" Pietro added.
As Ultron was distracted Wanda broke the Scepter's hold off of Dr. Cho. "Life. Life always decides. There's incoming. The Quinjet. We have to move." Ultron said. "That's not a problem." Cho cancelled the upload to Ultron's consciousness. "Ugh." Ultron blasted Cho while Wanda and Pietro ran off. "Ah, wait, guys!" He blasted Cho's technicians. "They'll understand. When they see they'll understand. I just need a little more time." Unplugged himself from the Cradle.

Captain America got out the Quinjet and was on the roof of the U-Gin Genetic Research Lab. "Two minutes. Stay close." Steve said on the comm. Steve entered the lab and found Cho wounded. "Dr. Cho!" "He's uploading himself into the body." Dr. Cho said. "Where?" "The real power is inside the Cradle. The gem, its power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the Cradle to Stark." "First I have to find it." "Go." Nova, Natasha and Clint heard over the Quinjet's comms. "Did you guys copy that?" "We did." Clint replied. "I got a private jet taking off, across town, no manifest. That could be him." Natasha added.
Clint noticed a truck heading across a bridge. "There. It's a truck from the lab. Right above you, Cap. On the loop by the bridge. It's them. I got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver." Clint said. "Negative! If that truck crashes, the gem could level the city. We need to draw out Ultron." Steve jumped onto the roof of the truck. "No, no, no, no, no. Leave me alone!" Ultron said angrily as he blasted the truck door while Steve tried to enter. "Well, he's definitely unhappy! I'm gonna try and keep him that way." "You're not a match for him, Cap." Clint added. "Thanks, Barton."
