Thank you.
Tonight, America has spoken in one of the most important
selections of our lifetime.
We recognize the urgency of this moment.
From the disappearance of half of mankind to the emergence of a
celestial mass in the Indian Ocean, the threats we face show
no signs of slowing down, but the only way we can overcome them
is together.
Tonight, President Ross embraced the theme of togetherness in his
acceptance speech, but his past tells a different story, especially
when it comes to working with heroes like Captain America.
As two of our nation's most important leaders, some question
if they can overcome their time's tumultuous history to face the
challenges ahead.
Here you go, Captain.
Anyway, I'm out.
Thanks.
Reading the law, St. Bradley was the sponsor of the
Obama-Clinton vote on Thursday.
Following the call for the abomination to shut down parliament, Ross was
criticized for what some called an unwarranted outburst during a press
conference.
In fact, many blamed Ross for the collateral damage, believing it was his
reluctance to pursue the Banners cult that led to the round-age.
It all resulted in the President's elective strangement from his daughter,
Dr. Betty Ross, Bruce Banner's ex-girlfriend.
But in a surprising turn of events, he managed to shift the narrative and
try to lift his heart of critics by ascertaining the mass he saw over the
abomination.

The buyer told me he was here.
I will not leave until the money that the father gives me.

Where is the buyer?
No.
Silence!
Move! Move! Move!
Silence!
Get the package outta here.
Move! Move! Move!
The Circuit Are Moving the Canister, Sam.
I'M trying to get there right now!
Move! Move! Move!
Redwood, on the Mark.
Stop!
Stay Back! We'll Shoot Them.
Don't worry.
I'LL Stay on the way to get out of here.
Thanks, Camila. Don't tell me.
Thank you. Don't worry.
The circuits are moving the canister, Sam.
And Sidewinder's heading to the chapel.
I already know what you're trying to do.
It can't be at two places at once.
All right, this time.
But don't get yourself killed.
Don't die, Capitan.
Fire didn't show.
Looks like you need better clients.
You don't need to worry.
I'll find more places in my time.
You have bigger concerns.
¡Move! ¡Move! ¡Move!
Captain America, I'm threatened with killings bigger than you.
From having to disappoint?
I bet you'd break easy.
Not that easy.
Not that hard.
Where did you rip go?
Give me a minute.
No. No. Let's get this over with.
I got shit to do today.
¡Move! ¡Move! ¡Move!
Nobody saw that.
Sam, back to security.
I like your stunt perfection.
Oh, man.
Need a minute?
See you back there.
¡Move!
¡Yeah!
¡Move!
Save some for us, Cap.
He has fragile arms, I'll betcha.
Keep your face always to the sunshine.
The shadows will fall behind you.
To quote Miss Betty's idea.
She's still not speaking with you?
No.
She doesn't believe I've changed.
Really changed.
I don't think I'm gonna give it another shot.
Coming up on the end of my first hundred days, Layla.
They're gonna define me.
This treaty's gotta work.
Hello?
Mr. President, the mission was a success.
All right, fill me in.
Cap and the SEAL team saved the hostages.
The package is secure, and they're here to meet us.
How's your brother?
Wow, you remember him. He's in the Air Force.
Yeah.
Probably because of you.
Let's try to hold that against him.
It's a weird place for a handoff, right?
Wide open, soft perimeter.
You think Dubai ever intended on showing up?
They certainly got played.
What did they say?
Same thing.
Contract's anonymous.
50 mil, a steel canister en route to Japan.
They show up here and we can buy it.
Let us know you get a trace on Starlight.
Cool.
Thank you.
You'll notice.
I did not die.
And people are saying I did not die.
Inside.
Who's saying that?
People.
Everybody.
Everybody is saying that.
Look, tell me I don't make your old dealer brand.
You got on the breeze upside down.
I'm sorry.
You look, uh...
Perfect.
That means you're finally going to introduce me to Ang Lee?
Nope.
Well, at least you gotta teach me your aerial kit, Matthew.
Look, if I'm gonna be Falcon, I know everything.
And no way are you ready for that.
Look, I got a guy who'll teach you the fundamentals from the ground up.
Matthew.
No, he's not a people person.
So you gotta learn how to keep your mouth shut.
Can you do that?
He's gonna love me, bro.
Are you kidding me?
That's not the right answer.
What's up, OG?
Who's the pretty boy?
Pretty boy?
Do you know anything about me?
I'm the new Falcon.
No, you're not.
I am...
Joaquin Torres.
I've been working with him for three years.
I haven't figured out how to shut him up yet.
So what are we doing here?
Torpedoes.
Uh...
I don't really know how to walk.
Matthew, bring it in.
Isaiah Bradley.
The...
The Isaiah Bradley.
You brought me to the Forgotten Cab.
Why don't you say something?
It's...
A pleasure to meet you.
Your missions and career are legendary.
And what, and after that, no action?
I mean, a lot has changed in the world
since we introduced another super soldier.
The United States government threw me in prison for 30 years.
They experimented on me for decades.
Uh...
That makes sense.
That sucks.
Can we start?
Let's do it.
No binder in your wings.
No shield.
No super soldier seal.
I want to see if he's got three in him.
Get to the flag, Sam!
Matthew's got it!
That's one.
Let's go.
Ow!
Beat it!
That's two.
I'm sorry.
What were you saying?
See?
I'm not a people person.
In a fight, the last hit is the only hit that matters.
I know.
Shut up.
Alright, that's it.
Take me in.
I'm ready.
Captain America, let's get to take five.
Let's go.
I need to take this.
I'm not taking five.
Why don't you sit down, Doug?
No, I don't...
I'll sit down.
Maybe I wanted it on there.
Oh, you want me to make the text bigger?
So you can read it?
Yeah, I'll hold for the President.
Where are you going?
You want to talk about it?
It just...
doesn't sit right with me.
Captain America, answer to the President.
The President of the country who stole your life?
It's not just that.
We're talking about Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross.
Son of a bitch earned that name, too.
I know, Isaiah, firsthand.
Remember, Ross threw me in the raft.
Hounded me, Steve, and Natasha for years.
So why are you working for him?
As long as you do, Captain America stands for people like him.
You've got no business working for the government.
You see what's going on out there?
The country is lost.
I'm standing next to the President, even if it's Ross.
He gives people hope.
Now, come on, give me some credit.
I have a friend who works in the White House.
She'll let me know if Ross starts acting out of turn.
None of this means I forgot about you.
I see what you're doing.
Come on.
Pull that counseling bullshit off me.
Trust me.
My eyes are wide open on this, okay?
I know Ross will never change, but he is the President.
So you're going to tell me what he wanted, or are you planning on making me guess?
He invited Joaquin and I to the White House.
And I said under one condition.
If he extended an invitation to you as well.
No, you're going to say no, but it would mean a lot to me if you were there.
We just got to get you a suit.
And why are you always wearing that ratty-ass wetsuit?
Come on, you're going to come or what?
Come on.
See, Isaiah, this is what I'm talking about.
Now you're going to the White House.
Look at that.
You look good, don't you?
I told you I was going to get you out of your own sweat.
Look at you now, man.
Yeah, I didn't know all men's warehouses are made that size.
Baby, I got married with this.
I'm sure she would be proud.
I hope so.
Feels strange to walk right into the belly of the beast.
Yeah, I'm sure it can't be easy.
It ain't.
Which is why we got to celebrate.
I don't care if it is Ross in charge.
We are guests of honor at the White House, man.
When did that ever happen?
And they sent us a limo, man.
What?
And we look good.
What?
Old school, you got your smell good on.
You got the houndstooth on.
Man, you got the good stuff.
Just pour it down.
When you stop, and we start, we get a turn
Take your heads off, we're number one
Place your feet, kick, and we run
into the Danielle
When you stop, and we start, we get a turn
That's my new wallpaper, look at that
Pretty good, can you send it to me?
Yeah, I'll airdrop it to you right now
You know I airdropped it, right?
Of course, I know where the airdrop is
The President of the United States of America
See you guys inside
Hey
What? What about my wallpaper?
This is, no, this is...
Oh, I see, you don't want a picture?
Wilson
Wilson, can you give us a room?
Thanks
Doctor's orders
Not quite a cigar, but
You better let them go
Thanks for coming in
Welcome to the White House
Thank you for the invite, sir
I have to admit, I'm still getting used to that new look
Yeah, well they said
Lose the mustache, or lose the election
Thanks for your help down in Mexico
Retrieving that canister
Might just have saved this treaty
I was just doing my job, sir
You and I haven't always agreed on how much
Latitude enhanced individuals deserve
But what you've accomplished has given me reason to reconsider
Which is why I want you, Captain America
To help me rebuild the Avengers
The Avengers?
Yes, sir
With all due respect, sir
When you passed the Scalia Accords
You tore the Avengers apart
I represent all Americans now
Hell, half of them wouldn't even be here
Without the Avengers
The country needs this
And when we disagree on how to manage a situation
What happens then?
Figure it out together
Look, you don't have to give me an answer now
Just think about it
Prime Minister Ozaki
Good to see you, sir
Thank you for being here
Here we are
Sam Wilson, Prime Minister Ozaki
Bon appétit, Monsieur
Oh, God
Would you like a picture?
Sure, Sam, please
Thank you, sir
Thank you, Sam
The word of me, Sam
Will show the world a better way forward
That was unexpected
Maybe it's an opportunity
So, how did it happen?
He asked me to restart the Avengers
Is he okay?
I don't know
We'd have to work four hands
Ladies and gentlemen
The President of the United States
Thaddeus Ross
Good evening, everyone
Good evening
It's my great privilege to host you
At the White House on this historic evening
When the celestial mass
Emerged in the Indian Ocean
We did what we often do
We squabbled over it
Countries rushed in to claim it
As their own setting of research facilities
To exploit its resources
What was found inside that island
Is nothing short of the discovery
Of the millennium
Its potential applications
In tech, in medicine, in defense
Are immeasurable
It's even more indestructible
Than vibranium
And it's not controlled by an isolationist nation
Ladies and gentlemen
I present to you
Adam Antion
The first and only refined sample
Was stolen from a Japanese mining site
But happily, it's been recovered
And is in a secure location
And we have two incredibly brave men
To thank for that
Joaquin Torres
And our own Captain America
Sam Wilson
What we do next with this discovery
Will determine how history judges us
If we ratify this treaty
Together we can produce enough man-made fuel
To fairly and equitably
Prevent the problems of the past
No nation will ever be constant
Anaya, what are you doing?
Sam!
Sam, are you hit?
No
Sam!
What happened?
I don't know
But she got her stuff
Sam!
Don't!
I can't go back inside now
Ron, I know what you want to say
Please
Take anything!
I can't let you win
No, no, no, no
Sir, sir, you can't
Sir!
Hey, hey, hey
He stays
Everybody else, out!
Agent Taylor, you too
You okay?
I should be asking you that, sir
Not my first time being shot at
I know how this must look, but
Can we have a minute?
She stays
We need Ruth Betts around
My security advisor
Sir, there's no way Isaiah could have done this
Except he did
Maybe somebody got to him
You're really defending men
who just tried to kill the president in front of...
We don't know
What do we know?
There were fire shooters
Isaiah was one of them
He has been Secret Service and active military
This was a coordinated terrorist attack, sir
What else do you have?
There's someone that preceded shooting
We think it was a cue for the attack
Sir, Isaiah looked like he wasn't in control
He had no idea where he was
So you're suggesting what?
Let me investigate
Don't you think you're a little too close to this?
Sir, your inner circle has been compromised
There's possibility of another attack now
And what exactly do you have to offer
that our entire intelligence and defense apparatus can't?
Well, I won't sit around and let Isaiah...
Look, I know how important Bradley is to you
But consider the optics
Captain America conducts a personal investigation
of a friend who tried to assassinate the president
Isaiah sacrificed everything for this country
He's a soldier, a patriot
He had no reason to do this
He had every reason
Bradley was in prison for rescuing his own man
Experimented on for 30 years
The things done to him are enough to make anyone sad
Sir, you invited me here to work together
So let's work together
I'm afraid that offer expired when your friend tried to kill a lady
Sam, you shouldn't even be in these situations
You're not Steve Rogers
Ruth, you have my full authority to put this thing to bed
Before this treaty gets compromised any further
So that's it
I'm done
You're done
This is bullshit, you know it
This is politics
So you better wise up, son
Son, you call me son?
Sam, what the hell are you doing?
I'm going to clear Isaiah
Storing his ears won't help him
You need Ross by your side
Ross? Open your eyes
Offer to help and he sends me packing
Ross is on his own side, he always has been
Either you can't see that or you don't want to
Hey, don't be that guy
What guy is that?
The one who has to do it the hard way
Let's look ahead to that guy
The agent remains on high alert
This is Dr. Foreman
I signal a death penalty case
Those are the cases against Isaiah Brown
Just five minutes, Captain
I hope you call Russell first
I'll go see him
Please do
How are you holding up?
Well, I took good care of the family
Isaiah
Look me in the eye
Tell me you didn't conspire to kill Ross
Of course I didn't
What in the world happened to make you shoot at the President?
I don't know
You gotta give me one and I'll tell you
I didn't
You gotta give me one and I don't know
Is there anything you remember?
I got a haircut
Picked my suit up at the Queen as the King
We rode in the limo
Took a photo
But my phone was on the fridge
Then
We went over to the East Room
One moment I'm sitting there
The next I'm standing in that park
I should have stayed in my damn house
Minded my business
No this isn't you
Someone's behind all this
Damn
The last thing I want is for this to touch you
I'm sorry
But there ain't no escaping from me
This time
I'm gonna die in here
No you're not
I'm gonna get you out
You wanna help me?
Of course
Don't come back
I'm sorry
Sergeant Jumbo
Get me a copy of the conversation
I want to take a look
Yes ma'am
And good work with Wilson
Let me know if he pays an office visit
Roger that
You get in?
But I made it into the White House's CCTV system
And what am I looking for?
When Isaiah went off in the White House
Made me think of a friend of mine
Being controlled by trigger words
You see any strangers talking to Isaiah?
No, we got there
Took a picture
I airdropped this in and put it up in the crate
And they say his father's on the fridge
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sam
I think I got something
What is it?
This phone is like flashing at me
Oh shit, I had the same thing happen to it
With one of the other shooters
What the hell?
Lenny Cooper
Ross here
The prisoner, he's secure?
I can confirm
The prisoner is innocent
Do we have eyes on the bastard?
I'm looking at him right now, sir
Thank you Cooper
Thank you, Mr. President
Back to Mexico
We were at the White House
Because the buyer never showed
Why hire servants
If you have no intention of collecting?
Maybe they're expecting Captain America to come
What if the buyer wanted Captain America to come?
And what if they wanted us at the White House?
But how will the buyer predict?
That we get the invite
Or that you invite Isaiah
The buyer must be watching us somehow
Another thing
Ruth Baxter off
Ross the security advisor
Find out what you can about her
Copy that
I'll call you back, Lenny
Charlie, look at me
Stand by when I do the dance
No wonder you came all the way from Mexico
Just to blow up my car
You must have made out with the buyer
Get him on the phone
Let me see if I can resolve this
Resolve this?
The buyer told me everything
He mentioned
That if you survived the grenade
There was a 77% chance
You'd try
To talk me down
Go ahead
The buyer told me a lot actually
After he didn't show up in Mexico
He agreed to pay me double
And take you out
What he doesn't know
Is that I would kill you for free
How often do you get a chance to kill
Captain America?
You're desperate, aren't you, Peter?
No
Just a little, Peter
Well done, Captain
But you're not going to like what's coming next
With it
How can we exhaust you to leave
When you've got him
In your own house in order?
We have the shooters in custody
All I'm asking for is patience
Patience?
From the Hound Hunter?
That was a long time ago
Well, Mr. President
I was almost killed
In your home yesterday
And today you are still alive
And today you are still up in your bunker
You're not in a position to be asking for anything
I agree
We should continue this conversation another time
Gentlemen, wait
Please
This treaty is too important to let it fall apart now
We made a promise to our people
A promise to the world
We must prevail
We need Japan to proceed
And Prime Minister Osaki's absence is for use
I'll get Japan back to the table
Osaki and I go back a long way
He's running for re-election
He needs to assert leadership on this treaty
All right, Mr. President
We'll remain patient
While you try to get Japan on board
But if you don't
We'll have to take measures into our own hands
I'll make a call back once I get out of here
Sooner
It seems not to be easy
The longer I stay here
The weaker I look
What the hell happened to you?
A sidewinder tracked me down
Well, it looks like you did a lot more than that
He's in police custody now
You good?
I will be
Last call
Trace it
All right
Yo, get this
Ross's advisor, Ruth Badger
She was born in Israel and trained in the Revenue
She's ex-Widow
That basically means stay the hell out of her way, trust me
Okay
Now this is weird
Isaiah had Ross in his crosshairs
Couldn't miss
I don't get it
Why go through all that trouble just to not kill Ross?
I don't know
I think I'll locate Sidewinder's last call
He's in the middle of nowhere in West Virginia
It's just like near some forest
Database only shows one name
Camp Echo One
No satellite imagery
Away from air traffic
No infrastructure in the area
You think it's military?
Yeah
It's a place they send you and you never leave
Ross told me to stay out of this
Eh, he's just the President of the United States
Yeah, I know
You don't have to come with me
No?
No, let's go miss this little movie
Pack as much gear as you can carry
I'm not going to hold you back
What, you mean like right now, right now?
Yeah
Well, it's a long after I close the door, so if there's any snacks
Why did you not invite me?
What?
Luke, what's the rep?
Isaiah Bradley's been holding cell 14
The other shooters are at 15
Do you need an escort?
I think I'll be just fine
Thanks
Yes ma'am
Yes, yes
I'd like to speak to him one at a time, can you?
Excuse me
Ayumu, I'm talking to you, hey
No, don't do it!
Ayumu, what are you doing?
Fuck
Ayumu
Yeah!
Where's Dr. Eccles at?
You tell her
I did the whole five miles
And Luke?
He touched down in Tokyo in O-600
You still think this is a bad idea?
Sir, whoever orchestrated the attack on the White House is still in the wild
International travel brings security risks we can't anticipate
We barely got Congress together on this thing
We lose our international partners
This treaty's toast
I have to make this work
Three miles have changed, I'll let Dr. Eccles know
Five
Do we have eyes on Wilson?
He left the base a few hours ago with Joaquin Torres
They ditched their smart phones, they're off grid
I want a variable out there that I can't control
Get a team, pick them up, bring them in
Yes, sir
Breaking news out of Washington
President Ross is on his way to Japan
Just a day after providing his...
I thought you used to play this old-ass game all the time
Ah, this is hard
Right
How far are we from Canada?
We are about an hour away
Damn shit
They just shot a bunch of his prisoners
Is he okay?
Yeah, I'd say he's good
The others?
They're dead
Shit
Should we go back?
No
We keep going
The buyer's pretty smart, but we're not taking the bait
The only way to help Isaiah is to figure out who's behind this
And whoever's behind it
They do not want us getting closer
Cooper, what's happening?
Mr. President, as a precautionary measure, I have moved the President to Japan
President Ross
I miss our little visits
Tell me something
You never stop to ask yourself, who's playing the music?
It's you, Whitehouse
The assassination attempt
That's the way of putting it
I helped you more than anyone else
Only to get what you want
What do you want?
I wanted my life back
But it's too late for that now
You gotta understand my position
Oh, I do
You let me rot in this prison
And it was my curse to watch your betrayal written in probabilities
I'm making my own choices now
So many surprises left
When I'm done, everyone will know just who you are
And fate will despise you even more
Goodbye, Mr. President
What the hell's going on?
They're putting you in solitary
Nobody's gonna put me in solitary ever again
It's for your protection
I'll tell you this one more time, for your protection
I ain't going in a box ever again
You won't be able to guarantee your safety
Safety ain't always cracked up to be
Do you still think I have something to do with all this?
I don't know
Mr. President
I need you to drop whatever you're doing
I can't back off once we compromise
Yes, sir
Come on
This is it
Camp Echo One
Telescopes must be on the side
We've got to see what's underneath
We've got cameras and guards
Redwood, cover fence and go loot the feed
We've got a twenty-eight second window to get past the guards
Then enter the door manually
Three, two, one, go
Come on
Fifteen seconds, come on
Come on
No prisoner
Come on
Why is there a lab in this prison?
I don't know
What the hell is this place?
Come on
What the hell is this place?
Ozaki-san
I want to assure you
America remains committed to sharing our enemy
with the rest of the world
I trust you
Japan shares our commitment
The world needs this treaty
Diplomacy must be hard for you
A man in a country
so used to taking whatever he wants by force
Excuse me?
allows to explain your theft of our money
only to return it to us in Washington
What you're accusing us of is baseless and insulting
So, the information my intelligence team received
and verified is incorrect
How's that?
I'm a fool
I'm a fool to negotiate with someone so naive
they don't realize they're being played
Naive
If I'd stolen the sample
why would I order Captain America to retrieve it?
I'm supposed to go in heaven, aren't you?
Whatever game you're playing
Japan wants no part of it
Don't get so superstitious
There's an awful lot of genetic data in a lot of people
Don't make me look up words, Ozaki
I think he's figured out a way to plant commands
into people's subconscious using flashes of light
His Mr. Blue song seems to be some kind of trigger
Mind control
Yeah, I'll explain that to him
And that, more importantly
I hate rednecks
I think it's those incredible brainless
It wasn't half bad-looking, was I?
Samuel Starnes
You know, it takes an awful lot to surprise me
There was an 89% chance you'd turn around
if I put Isaiah Bradley at risk
The air you stand
You're the buyer
Indeed, hiring Serpent was a necessary step
to create a chain of statistical certainties
Maybe you're not as smart as you think you are
I am, actually
My mind sees it all, every probable outcome
So you hire Serpent to steal the enemy team
and shoot up Ross' summit announcing it
And now you're just sitting here waiting
Why do you want to kill Ross?
Why does everyone think that I want to kill Ross?
Is it because he imprisoned me here without a trial
after an infusion of a drug?
After an infusion of Gamma
warped the structure of my brain?
Well
Once Ross discovered how useful I could be
he kept me here for 16 years
turning my mind to solving his problems
My solutions brought him the highest office in the country
If I wanted Ross dead
he'd be dead
Whatever you're doing
You're hurting a lot of people, including my friend
So this is the last chance I'm going to give you to stop it
Why are you protecting him?
Ross knows I'm responsible for the White House
Yet he's still letting Isaiah sit in prison for it
You know it'll never change
Let me finish my work
I'm afraid I can't do that
Please
don't
be
boring
Do you think they'll stop us
for long enough?
You're a fascinating problem
but soon you'll be off the board
so you don't surprise me again
You must understand you have no choice
but to shove it into your ass
Ah!
Oh, gas
Ah!
Stand back
I'm taking them in
I'll deal with this
Okay
Ah!
What the hell are you guys doing here?
Well, that's what I should be asking you
Where's Stern?
If Stern's in the White House, that parameter
roadblocks, air support
he can't have gone far
Why are you helping us?
You're right
I thought it was nothing
Freeze!
Oh, it's okay
We have orders to take Captain America into custody
You already have one Captain America in custody
You want another?
You're under arrest for trespassing
by a restricted number of property
Me and Ryan always go on tests
most of the time
I have appearances
It's been a long day
She's ex-widow
and this is Saturday
These orders come from the President himself
Get them out of here
And I'm just coming
You, come with us now!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Mr. President
Japan's claim seems to be true
We're trying to determine the point of the bridge
Sir, we have to tell Ozaki's team something
We've got to stop him leaving
I need some time alone
We don't have much time, sir
Ozaki just decided to advance his navy on Celestial Island
He intends to secure the out of India for himself
Jesus
France and India are drawing up occupation strategies
Yes, Mr. President
I suggest a return to D.C. immediately
No, I disagree
We need to regroup
No, absolutely not
Absolutely not
Run!
I want the carrier
Strike group 5
Deployed immediately
Tell him I'm on my way there now
Sir, are we seriously talking about taking control of Japan's Adamantium?
I'm not going home empty handed
Only one country is going to control Adamantium
It's going to be us
Make the call!
Taylor!
I want to be en route to the Indian Ocean within the hour
Mr. President, this is extremely dangerous
If a war breaks out...
I was a wartime general
I'm a wartime president
Yes sir, Mr. President
What are we doing here?
You see, Ross' orders was to take us into custody
So I called in the table
Thanks for doing this
No problem, Captain
The rest of the mix is down here
The terminal's set up, ready to go
You sure you can knock out Sterns by control?
I should be able to run a program that blocks the light signals that Sterns has been sending out to control people
What if he's already got you someone?
That's a good point
Are you crazy?
We're clear here at least
Do you have anybody that you trust that can take a look at these and tell me what's in them?
Sure, I got someone
Now get on it
Thanks
I got you
Through there
Listen in
I'm amazed you're still standing
Most men don't survive when axed to the gutter
Got a lot of weed, I presume?
First, a job
You said you were going to find a man who wasted your time
I want to know what you learned
Samuel Sterns
Gruesome fellow, don't you think?
I've seen worse
Not without your avengers
Full of unity in all talk
You're crazy
Who are you kidding?
You're here because you're all out of options
You've heard what he did to those shooters
A guy like Sterns doesn't like loose ends alive
Reduce sentence
I'll do it
My own self
Let me hear what you got first
You know who's modeling it?
It's my own Sterns and the wreckage of home
They said he'd been infected with Bruce Banner's blood
But it didn't give him strength
What did it give him?
A mind
Capable of impossible calculations
Ross being Ross
He saw an opportunity
Instead of removing the gamma from Sterns' blood
He upped the dose
Made Sterns his own personal think tank
Creating technology
Weapons for the state
Knowledge and meaning
Why did Sterns go along with it?
Chem echo one was the stick
I imagine our partner was the carrot
Ross told Sterns he'd let him go
Once he became president
And yet
Here we are
So Sterns hired you to steal Japan's adamantium
Knowing it would divide the two countries
He bailed us through a CIA blackboard
That could kill the treaty and start a war
And Ross would be blamed for the chaos
How do you think a man with Ross' temperament
Will deal with being caught in a trap?
If you break out of Allenwood
I'll find you
When I break out, Captain
You won't walk away alive
Did you know?
Of course not
But Ross is not that man anymore
None of us have to be defined by our powers
Captain
My guy needs 24 hours on the post
Okay
We need to get to D.C. and tell Ross what Sterns is planning
President Ross is in D.C.
He's on the USS Milius
They just moved into the Indian Ocean
Japan's warships are also in proximity
Shit
Suit up
We need to move
Hello, Admiral
May I use your phone?
Holy shit
Have you ever seen anything like this?
No, I haven't
Hi
Let me know the top of your head
I'm going to take Ross back to D.C.
You better stay out of it
Because whatever Sterns is planning
It's happening soon
What's he doing here?
I told you not to get involved
I brought him, sir
I want him out of here
Sir, you asked me to run this investigation
And the situation is going...
Don't bother with excuses
You had a simple job and you failed
Mr. President
We've uncovered intel at Camp Echo-1
That could put millions of lives at risk
And you and I both know I say this
And I'm happy to have this conversation
Open, if you'd like
This is crazy
Japan's supposed to be around here
Jack, Jack, do you copy?
Make it quick, Wilson
I've got Japan's fleet on my ass
Trying to make it to that island before we do
And that's exactly what he wants
Sterns has been pulling the strings on everything
Serpents, theft of the adamantium
The attack on the White House
The CIA link to Japan
He's pitting you and Japan against each other
To ensure that this moment happens
How the hell did he do all that from prison?
Mind control
He created a technology that allowed him
To control the minds of anyone he targeted
Including maybe you, sir
Have you been feeling like you're still sleeping?
Of course I have
But he has your data, sir
Why?
I don't know
If he can control minds
Surely he can hack files
But the logs show that you visited Camp Echo One numerous times
To ensure a high-value prisoner was secured
But the scans, the EKG, the blood work
Was all taken there, sir
This is ridiculous
Mr. President, answer the question
I don't have to answer you
Why visit a black site in the middle of nowhere
And order you to stop to conduct these tests?
Why?
Because I was dying, goddammit
Because my heart was failing me
No one could figure it out until he did
These things kept me alive
And in return I gave him hope
That he might get his life back
He got a lab
To do the work
I even tried to get him wooed
But you couldn't risk losing the pills
After your friend the Hulk and the Abomination destroyed Harlem
Someone had to take the fall
Stearns was just collateral damage
I have dedicated my entire life
To serving this country
The one person who matters
Because he understood
That he never forgave me for
Sending the army after Banner
I had to survive
So did
My daughter knew
That there was more to her father
That I'm the same man
That used to take her to see the Cherry Blossoms
She's still K.M., sir
I know what it's like
To feel your heart
To feel you have something to prove
Everyone only seeing one thing
But when showing there's more to you
It's not about when times are easy
It's about moments like this
And we're here because
Stearns wants revenge
And doesn't care if he incites a war
We're playing right into his hands
Mr. President, two of our F-18s just fired on the Japanese fleet
What the hell are those pilots doing?
Call them back here
Don't try it, sir. Chocolate whiskey won't respond
I've got cadet birds in the air
You have two ready to fly now, sir
Oh, shit
Stearns got to the pilots and watched them down the system
We need to get the Japanese out of the air
Let's go
Don't get yourself killed
Don't die. Copy that
Oh, shit
Return to your fleets
Get a move on. Get some of them
Tenshi Kaido, take it to night
Jackal headed towards the Japanese fleet
Shit! He just fired on them
Mr. President, you're not to send more fighters out
We need Japan to see we're trying to de-escalate
Shin, I'll leave handles. I'll meet you at the hill
Give us this
Sir, we have six Japanese missiles inbound
Watch interceptors
Shit!
Damn! Two got through
Take the one on the right
Right wing, move!
Oh, shit!
We're taking the missiles in hand-ground and flying
This is what we expected the last presidency
Mr. Prime Minister, two of our pilots have gone rogue
Call off your planes. We're being manipulated
Certainly. Why are you hiding your assassins behind Captain America?
He's trying to bring them down now, sir
If those pilots are not taken away from here, then who gives them their commands?
That's what I thought
Mr. President
Who are you?
Ah, now we're getting somewhere
That fire in the belly, the rage
Why don't you just let it out?
Are you all right, sir?
Mr. Prime Minister
Akihiko, he's coming in!
Copy that
Get down!
We're down!
Close, we're down!
We've got a piece in your boat!
Activate! Activate!
What's the story?
Is that my skin?
Guys, I'm sending rescue. We have two capital spiders coming up on your tail
Why the hell are they still chasing us? We're trying to help them
Because we're all supposed to tell them who's really behind this
All that hatred you try to hide, all the ugliness
It's still there with us, smoldering behind the eyes
Akihiko!
Joaquin, I'm going after Jack!
Roger that, I'll keep you guys busy
What are you doing to me, you bastard?
What? We agreed on maybe a hair or two
You poisoned me
Stop taking the pills then
But we both know you won't
Give me what I want
Stop fighting it
No!
Akihiko!
Sam, Jack's on the bottom left
I got one, I'm going after the other
Back off, I'll get it!
No, no, no, I got it!
Back off!
I got it!
Akihiko!
No!
Joaquin's down, I'm going after him!
We'll send for the rescue, you have to stop Jack
Damn it, I'm putting an end to this now
Give in to your rage
I'm taking your legacy as we speak
Come on, Ross, you're almost there
You will rip their fleet apart with your bare hands
And kill Captain America
Akihiko!
Oh shit
Let the monster inside you out
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Unleash your anger
Unleash your hatred
Unleash their blood!
Nothing can stop you, Ross
You can crush them all
Mr. President?
Sir, are you okay?
Captain America neutralized the rogue pilots
Japan's recalling their planes
There is something I don't like
We should fix this
Captain America has been rescued
We will lead the way
Where's Joaquin?
I bet you he's not with you
Thank God
A crisis was narrowly avoided when a brief dogfight broke out
between Japanese and U.S. military forces over Celestial Island
U.S. Air Force Captain Joaquin Torres was shot down during the service
and is now in surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
His condition is critical
I'm gonna need the package
Instructions
I can't see anything
More instructions
Instructions
It's a private room
Go away
I missed you
Missed you too
I hate to admit it
I'm glad you're here
I feel good out there on that 6 o'clock
That I saw this
Doctor said to restart his heart
I don't know what...
This isn't your fault
That makes me think of Steve
How many alien invasions did he start for you?
Two
Wow
What made me think I could follow that?
I should have took the serum
Like Steve, like you
Why?
Because this is all starting to seem much bigger than me
Ross
He asked me to restart the Avengers book
But Joaquin's in here
Isaiah's in prison
And Stern's
I had him, I had Stern's
Right in my hands
And he got away
He damn near pushed us to the brink of war
Because I wasn't
Is that what you mean to say?
Steve made a mistake
No he didn't
He gave you that shield
Not because you're the strongest
But because you're you
Do you think if you had that serum
You'd be able to protect all the people you care about?
Steve had it and he couldn't
You're a human being and you're doing your best
Steve gave people something to believe in
But you
You gave them something to aspire to
Did your speech writers help you with that?
They did, yeah, they had me a little bit
Did you like it?
It was good, solid, people, emotional
Very, I felt good, but just enough
Listen, I gotta catch a plane
I have a campaign going right now, it's so stupid
It's gonna be alright, man
Thanks, bro
I love you, buddy
I love you too
Was that?
Yeah
Future Congressman James Buchanan Barnes
He's taller than real life
Nice smile, too
Good luck, too
Great posture
He's 110 years old
I can work with that
...attempted a shocking shooting at Joint Base
that's not going to be a bowling until underway
Isaiah Bradley is set to go before a military judge tomorrow
He's a stunning fall from grace
for a man brought out from the shadows by Captain America
Just two years after being exonerated for unjust charges
Bradley now finds himself held in solitary confinement
and facing a possible death sentence
Duffy
Talk to me
Duffy, did you check out my report?
Alright, what am I looking at?
Those pills you gave me?
They're loaded with gamma radiation
engineered to be absorbed into the blood
Where the hell did you get these?
Shit, I gotta make a call
This sound is currently affecting your equilibrium
When I turn this dial, it will disrupt your heartbeat
I take no pleasure in your death
but I can't have you calling the captain
Who are you?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm the hero
Hello?
Agent Taylor?
Just wanted to let you know
that every guest has been screened
and we also did three sweeps of the Rose Garden
Thank you
See you out there
Yes, sir
Hello
Hi
How are you?
I'm sorry, I should have called after the attack in the lab
Are you okay?
I'm fine
It's really good to hear your voice
I didn't think you'd answer
Betty, I know I've made a lot of mistakes
but I'm trying to change
to be a better person
Maybe we could take a walk sometime
see the cherry blossoms
It would be nice
Yeah, that could be nice
I'm okay
I love you
I know
Please
Good afternoon, everyone
When I took office, I promised
we would create a true, lasting peace
Today, we begin to realize that promise
Captain America
Would you do me the kindness of counseling a bitter man
at the end of his rope?
That's what you do, isn't it?
Guess we have five minutes until the MPs drag you ass out here
You ruined my grand finale on the Indian Ocean
So now I'm forced to turn myself in to get what I want
You're waiting for an apology
We'll be here a while
I'm waiting for you to realize that we both want the same thing
For the world to see Ross as he truly is
I'm proud to say our treaty will finally be signed
I'll take a couple questions
Sir, what do you say to reports that relations with Japan broke down
over your handling of the White House assassination attempt?
Despite fabrications that some have used to turn us against each other
our bonds have proved strong
You kept Ross alive for years
Didn't kill him when you had the chance at the White House
The way I see it
the Indian Ocean wasn't about starting a war
You wanted to destroy his legacy
Yes
But you haven't figured out how
The pills
I got somebody I'll have to
Not anymore you don't
Is it true hostilities in the Indian Ocean occurred because the Japanese discovered
it was in fact your government who paid for the suffragette mercenary
to steal their adamantium?
We did not pay them
Ross turned me into a monster
It's only right that I do the same thing to him
Why aren't you smiling?
Calm down!
Never use that big brain of yours to consider that maybe you're wrong about Ross
Wanna bet?
Yeah
Where are you going?
To stop this
Get on the front bench!
I feel like coming back to America
If I'm right about Ross
You're going to die
You're gonna die!
Mr. President
Dr. Samuel Sturge just turned himself in
He claims you promised him a part where he worked on secret government projects with him
That is a lie
President Ross
I miss our little visits
What do you want?
I wanted my life back
I'm ready for that now
I helped you more than anyone else will ever sleep
You have to go!
You better understand my position
No I do
You let me rot in this prison
Leave me alone!
Let me go!
I cannot let you
You can't let me
Let me?
Larry will know just who you are
And Betty will despise you even more
It's a race
It's a regulation
It's a hot
They put you on a hot list
If they can get it we can buy it
Stop!
Where's Betty?
I don't know
This isn't so tough
Come on!
Jesus
We have to get these people out of here
There's a bunch of them around the corner
Come on!
Move it! Move it!
Jesus!
They're choking on me
Come on!
Move it!
Ruth, I need you to clear Hank's point
I'll lower Ross to him
Sam, are you crazy? He'll kill me
Move it!
Come on!
Sam!
You can still fight this Ross
Do you see where you are?
Do you remember this place?
You used to come here with Betty
That didn't work
Follow me!
Come and get me!
Come on!
Sam!
Sam, can you hear me?
Sam, are you okay?
Please tell me I locked this up with Richard
I have to find Richard
No! Tell them to wait
What?
I should have taken that serum
Lucky, it's full of shit
But who's that thing?
Ross!
We both know you can take me out with one punch
But I don't think you want to do that
Well, I know
You've done some terrible things
Now, I might be crazy
But I think you're trying to change
Now's the time to prove it to the world
Prove it to Betty
Sam!
I'll meet you at the entrance
We should head to the hospital
That's the one we gotta go first
That's three, old man
I told you I'd get you out
Took you so long
Thank you, sir
I got you
You broke your bones, son
Come on, Mr. Brandy
We gotta hand the paperwork to Pharoah
And then you're free to go
Worldwide talks continue in the arms race for the newly discovered element
As we enter the great new world of Atlantia
Back in our nation's capital, ground was broken on the restoration of the White House
Marking a significant step towards normalcy for the country
Mr. President
How are your days?
Intentionally uncomfortable
I heard food hasn't gotten any better either
You heard right
Bradley got out
Yes, sir
Mr. President
Yes, sir
What's the matter?
Mr. President, a bunch of blood work
It seems Stern's raised the level of gamma in those pills over time
It built up in your body over the years
That led to your...
Led to my little tantrum
Which is why I have to be in here
Good Sean Wallace
Yeah
But I have to say
It wasn't nothing to see you take full responsibility for your actions
You gave up your office
Accept your sentence
Had to let the country war
Japan decided to uphold their treaty, by the way
Us too
It was Docky Ross Accords
It didn't
Same way here
Sir
We're on different sides of this thing
Every step of the way
Look, we can't see the good in each other
We've already lost the fight
Besides, I wanted to make sure an old soldier was okay
I'd love to stay, but
Looks like you have another visitor
Hi, Dad
How was your day?
Did you get a rain check on that walk?
It's all right
I think I just sit and talk for a little while
I like that
Me too
How's the kid doing today?
Still a little out of it, but
Doing better
I don't want to let you two catch up
Where are you headed?
After Baltimore?
No
I got a booth for the meat tickets for the last game
Courtside
This will be a second to forget me out
I'm happy you found a friend as grumpy as you are to go to games with
Say it again
Oh
I'm sorry
The Falcon Awaken
Gonna let you have all the fun
I'm sorry I screwed up
Screwed up? Get out of here
I did
You never messed up with Ida
You never got shot out of the sky and nosedived into the Indian Ocean
You were always on point
Yeah
Because if I'm not on point
I feel like I let down everyone else who was fighting for a seat at that table
That's pressure man
It weighs on you
Makes you wonder if you'll ever just be
Unknown
Where I grew up
I only ever got to see heroes online
Or on TV
I always felt so far away
I kept thinking maybe if I get out of Miami
Then maybe one day I could be Don't Say Ant-Man
Oh man
I want to be you
Wow, Sam Wilson
Because I'm the guy
That guy I won't ever give up
That pressure, that responsibility you talk about
I want that too man
You know it's all about timing right?
Control your spin
And hit your thruster before you kick
No
Yeah
That's it
If I get shot out of the sky more often
You will
You're going to come back for this
I know
When that time comes
Make sure the suit's ready
Sam Wilson's right about one thing
The world needs the Avengers
For real?
Yeah
I wasn't thinking about it before
But now that you bring it up
Since all the other wings are damaged
I was thinking
What can I do
Whatever you guys
I'm just saying
If you get me a hookup
On an upgrade on the wings
You're going to ask the Wakandans for a hookup
Yeah
That is the most Miami thing in the world
You know man
