Captain America: The First Avenger Page #3

Synopsis: It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erskine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erskine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's secret HYDRA research department (headed by Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull), Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot; however, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America, and his war against Schmidt begins.

Mr. Stark.

How are your levels?

- Levels at 100%.

- Good.

We may dim half the lights in Brooklyn.

But we are ready.

Good as we'll ever be.

Agent Carter, don't you think you would

be more comfortable in the booth?

Oh yes, ah, sorry.

Can you hear me, is this on?

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Today we take not another

step towards annihilation.

But the first step towards the path to peace.

We begin with a series of micro injections,

into the subjects major muscles.

The serum infusion will cause

immediate cellular change.

Then to stimulate growth.

The subject will be saturated,

...with Vita rays

That wasn't so bad.

That was penicillin.

Serum infusion.

Beginning in, five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One.

Now, Mr. Stark.

Steven.

Can you hear me?

Probably to late to go to the bathroom, right?

We will proceed.

That's ten percent.

Twenty percent.

Thirty.

That's forty percent.

All signs are normal.

That's fifty percent.

Sixty.

Seventy.

Steven, Steven.

- Shut it down!

- Steven.

Shut it down.

Turn back, Mr. Stark. Turn it off kill it, turn back.

No!

Don't

I can do this.

Eighty...Ninety.

That's one hundred percent!

Mr. Stark.

Son of a b*tch did it.

- I did it,

- Yes, yes.

I think we did it.

You actually did it.

How do you feel?

Taller.

You look taller.

How do we look now, Senator?

I guess the folks in Berlin

are about to get very nervous.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

Stop him!

- They're coming, come on.

- Now.

You all right? Hey!

This guy's been shot.

I had him.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Whoa, whoa.

No.

No, darling no.

Tommy no. Don't hurt him.

Go on.

Let me go.

No, don't hurt him.

Wait don't.

Don't.

No, don't.

Go get him, I can swim.

Who the hell are you?

The first of many.

I got off one hit.

Two more shall take it's place.

Heil Hydra.

The Fhrer is not accustomed to

being ignored, Herr Schmidt.

He funds your research because

you promised him weapons.

You serve at his pleasure.

He gave you this facility as

a reward for your injuries.

Reward, call it what it is, exile.

I no longer effect his image of Aryan perfection.

You think this is about appearances?

Your Hydra division has failed,

...to deliver so much as a rifle in over a year.

And we have learned through local intelligence.

You have mounted a full

scaled incursion into Norway.

The Fhrer fears, how does he put it?

The Red Skull has

been indulged long enough.

Gentlemen.

You have come to see the

results of our work, hmm?

Let me show you.

Hitler speaks of a thousand year Reich.

But he cannot feed his armies for a month.

His troops spill their blood

across every field in Europe.

But still he is no closer to achieving his goals.

And I suppose you still aim

to win this war through magic.

Science, but I understand your confusion.

Great power has always baffled primitive men.

Hydra is assembling an arsenal that will

destroy my enemies in one stroke.

Wherever they are, regardless

of how many forces they possess.

All in a matter of hours.

Your enemies?

My weapons contain enough destructive power,

...to decimate every hostile capital on Earth.

Quite simply, gentlemen.

I have harnessed the power of the gods.

Thank you, Schmidt.

For what?

For making it clear how obviously mad you are.

Berlin is on this map!

So it is.

You will be punished for your insolence.

You will be brought before the Fhrer and ....

My apologies, Doctor.

But we both knew Hydra could

grow no further in Hitler's shadow.

Heil Hydra.

Heil Hydra!

Heil Hydra.

Think you got enough?

Any hope of reproducing the

program is locked in your genetic code

But without Erskine it would take years.

He deserved more than this.

If it could work only once.

He'd be proud of you.

Colonel Phillips, my committee is demanding answers.

Great, why don't we start with how a German spy,

..got a ride to my secret installation in your car?

What do we got here?

Speaking modestly I'm the best

mechanical engineer in this country.

But I don't know what's inside this thing.

Or how it works.

We're not even close to this technology.

Then who is?

Hydra, I'm sure you've been reading our briefings.

I'm on a number of committees, Colonel.

Hydra is a Nazi Deep science division.

It's led by Johann Schmidt.

But he has much bigger ambitions.

Hydra's practically a cult, they worship Schmidt,

they think he's invincible.

So what are you going to do about it?

I spoke to the President this morning.

As of today, the S.S.R. is being retasked.

- Colonel?

- We are taking the fight to Hydra.

Pack your bags, Agent Carter.

You too, sir.

We're flying to London tonight.

Sir.

If you're going after Schmidt, I want in.

Your an experiment, you're going to Alamogordo.

The serum worked.

I asked for an army, and all I got was you.

You.

You're not enough.

With all due respect to the Colonel.

I think we may be missing the point.

I've seen you in action, Steve.

More importantly.

The countries seen it.

Paper.

The enlistment lines have been around the block

since your picture hit the news stands.

You don't take a soldier, a symbol like that.

And hide him in a Lab.

Son.

You want to serve your country.

On the most important battlefield of the war.

Sir.

That's all I want.

Than congratulations.

You just got promoted.

I don't know if I can do this.

Nothing to it.

Sell a few bonds, bonds buy's bullets.

Bullets kill Nazi's, bing, bang, boom.

You're an American hero.

It's just I don't think I'm getting there.

The senator's got a lot of pull up on the hill.

You play ball, with us.

You'll be leading your own platoon in no time.

That's you.

Go!

Who's strong and brave,

here to save the American way.

Not all of us can storm a beach.

Or drive a tank.

But there's still a way all of us can fight.

Who loves to fight like the

man for whats right by day.

Series E Defense bonds.

Each one you buy is a bullet in

the barrel of your best guys gun.

Who built and came door to door for America?

Carries the flag shore to shore for America.

From Hoboken to Spokane.

The Star Spangled Man, with the plan.

Cut.

All right, don't look at the camera.

We can't ignore there's a

threat and the warning is big.

Each one you buy is a bullet in

the barrel of your best guys gun.

Who'll hang the noose on the

goose that we loosed from Berlin.

Who will redeem heed the call for America.

Who buys it all, gives his all for America.

Who stands to prove that task.

The Star Spangled Man, with the plan.

We all know it's about trying to win the war.

We can't do that without bullets and bandages.

Tanks and casts.

And that's where you come in.

Every bond you buy will help

protect someone you love.

Look out there, he's there behind you.

The Germans will think twice

about trying to get the drop on us.

Stalwart, and steady and true.

See how this guy can shoot!

We can tell that there's no substitute

Forceful and ready to defend

the Red, White and Blue!

Who'll give the Axis the sack
