Speaker A
These hands were once worth a fortune. His drawers were filled with luxury watches. His cheapest car was a Lamborghini. This man was Stephen Strange. [music] He was one of the world's greatest surgeons. One day, a patient was shot in the head. Everyone
Speaker A
believed [music] the patient was already dead. Stephen completed the surgery within minutes. He opened the skull and removed the bullet. [music] He pulled the patient back from death. Those perfect hands changed everything. A terrible car accident destroyed [music]
Speaker A
them. Metal pins now held them together. Stephen could no longer hold a scalpel. He lost the identity that defined him.
Speaker A
Months of painful [music] recovery followed. Stephen slowly fell into despair. A doctor finally gave him new hope. A former basketball player.
Speaker A
Doctors said he would never walk again. Stephen himself [music] had made that diagnosis. Fate seemed to be mocking him. Stephen found the man walking perfectly. The man shared his incredible recovery story. He mentioned a mysterious place. It might be able to
Speaker A
heal Stephen's hands. Stephen traveled to Kamar-Taj. Mordo guided him inside. There, he met the Ancient [music] One.
Speaker A
Kamar-Taj had no advanced medical equipment. It offered no traditional treatment. Everything depended on the mind and spirit. [music] Stephen thought the whole thing was a scam. He fiercely argued with the Ancient One. She calmly struck him with one hand. Stephen's soul
Speaker A
flew straight from his body. She sent him through countless dimensions. Everything he saw shattered his worldview. Stephen finally realized how little he understood. He [music] begged to become her student. The Ancient One refused him at first. At the same time,
Speaker A
Kaecilius stole secrets about the Dark Dimension. The Ancient One entered the Mirror Dimension. [music] She confronted Kaecilius inside. With a wave of her hands, the surrounding buildings duplicated and twisted. [music] Space and gravity constantly shifted.
Speaker A
Kaecilius escaped using portal magic. The Ancient One easily stopped his spell. She chose not to chase him. She had already seen the future. Stephen clearly possessed extraordinary talent.
Speaker A
He still needed time to truly grow. Five hours later, Stephen was finally accepted as her student. The Ancient One revealed other dimensional energy. She explained how ancient magic worked.
Speaker A
Magic was like code for reality. It could rewrite the rules [music] of the world. Stephen immediately began training. He still could not master real magic. Stephen blamed his damaged hands.
Speaker A
The Ancient One quickly proved him wrong. [music] Merci, mademoiselle. She suddenly sent Stephen to Mount Everest. She had 30 minutes to return. Otherwise, he would freeze [music] to death. Stephen had no warm clothing. He had no time to
Speaker A
prepare. He desperately practiced the portal spell. [music] Stephen finally opened a portal. He returned to safety just in time. That experience taught him the truth. His hands were never the real limitation. Stephen quickly became more skilled. He could even [music] steal
Speaker A
books from Wong. Stephen still wanted to learn more. One day everyone was gone. Stephen secretly opened a forbidden spell book. He followed the instructions inside. [music] He placed the Eye of Agamotto around his neck. Stephen began moving his hands. The amulet released a
Speaker A
blinding green light. A magical circle wrapped around his arm. One second later, something impossible began to happen.
