Captain America: The Winter Soldier Page #6

Can't kill you if

you're already dead.

Besides,

I wasn't sure who to trust.

Sergeant Barnes.

Bucky, no!

The procedure has already started.

You are to be the

new fist of HYDRA.

Put him on ice.

Sir.

He's unstable.

Erratic.

Mission report.

Mission report now.

The man on the bridge.

Who was he?

You met him earlier this week

on another assignment.

I knew him.

Your work has been

a gift to mankind.

You shaped the century.

And I need you to do

it one more time.

Society's at a tipping point

between order and chaos.

And tomorrow morning,

we're gonna give it a push.

But, if you don't do your part,

I can't do mine.

And HYDRA can't give the world

the freedom it deserves.

But I knew him.

Prep him.

He's been out of cryo

freeze too long.

Then wipe him and start over.

This man declined

the Nobel Peace Prize.

He said peace wasn't

an achievement,

it was a responsibility.

See, it's stuff like this

that gives me trust issues.

We have to stop the launch.

I don't think the Council's

accepting my calls anymore.

What's that?

Once the helicarriers

reach 3,000 feet,

they'll triangulate with Insight satellites,

becoming fully weaponized.

We need to breach those carriers

and replace their targeting

blades with our own.

One or two won't cut it.

We need to link all three

carriers for this to work,

because if even one of those

ships remains operational,

a whole lot of people

are gonna die.

We have to assume everyone aboard

those carriers is HYDRA.

We have to get past them,

insert these server blades.

And maybe, just maybe

we can salvage what's left...

We're not salvaging anything.

We're not just

taking down the carriers, Nick.

We're taking down S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D. had nothing

to do with this.

You gave me this mission.

This is how it ends.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been compromised.

You said so yourself.

HYDRA grew right under your nose

and nobody noticed.

Why do you think we're meeting

in this cave? I noticed.

How many paid the price

before you did?

Look, I didn't know about Barnes.

Even if you had,

would you have told me?

Or would you have

compartmentalized that, too?

S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA,

it all goes.

He's right.

Don't look at me.

I do what he does, just slower.

Well...

It looks like you're giving

the orders now, Captain.

We looked for you, after.

My folks wanted to give you

a ride to the cemetery.

I know, I'm sorry.

I just kind of wanted to be alone.

How was it?

It was okay.

She's next to Dad.

I was gonna ask...

I know what you're gonna say, Buck.

I just...

We can put the

couch cushions on the floor

like when we were kids.

It'll be fun. All you got

to do is shine my shoes,

maybe take out the trash.

Come on.

Thank you, Buck,

but I can get by on my own.

The thing is, you don't have to.

I'm with you to the

end of the line, pal.

He's gonna be there, you know.

I know.

Look, whoever he used to be

and the guy he is now,

I don't think he's

the kind you save.

He's the kind you stop.

I don't know if I can do that.

Well, he might not

give you a choice.

He doesn't know you.

He will.

Gear up. It's time.

You gonna wear that?

No. If you're gonna fight a war,

you got to wear a uniform.

Oh, man.

I am so fired.

We are in final launch sequence.

We are go on guidance.

AH personnel to launch stations.

And how was your flight?

Lovely.

The ride from the airport, less so.

Sadly, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't

control everything.

Including Captain America.

This facility is

biometrically controlled.

And these will give you

unrestricted access.

I've been parking

there for two months.

- But it's his spot.

- So where's he been?

I think Afghanistan.

Negative DT Six. The

pattern is full.

Well, he could've said something.

Must be the dish.

I'll check it out.

Triskelion command request

we clear the area for launch.

Excuse us.

I know the road

hasn't exactly been smooth,

and some of you would have gladly

kicked me out of the car along the way.

Finally, we're here.

And the world should be grateful.

Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents,

this is Steve Rogers.

You've heard a lot about me

over the last few days.

Some of you were even ordered

to hunt me down.

But I think it's time

you know the truth.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is not

what we thought it was.

It's been taken over by HYDRA.

Alexander Pierce is their leader.

The S.T.R.I.K.E. and Insight crew

are HYDRA as well.

I don't know how many more,

but I know they're in the building.

They could be standing

right next to you.

They almost have what they want.

Absolute control.

They shot Nick Fury.

And it won't end there.

If you launch those

helicarriers today,

HYDRA will be able to kill

anyone that stands in their way.

Unless we stop them.

I know I'm asking a lot.

But the price of freedom is high.

It always has been.

And it's a price I'm

willing to pay.

And if I'm the only

one, then so be it.

But I'm willing to bet I'm not.

Did you write that down first,

or was it off the top of your head?

You smug son of a b*tch.

Arrest him.

I guess I've got the floor.

Preempt the launch sequence.

Send those ships up now.

Is there a problem?

Is there a problem?

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm not gonna launch those ships.

Captain's orders.

Move away from your station.

Like he said...

Hold it right there.

Put the gun down!

Captain's orders.

You picked the wrong side, Agent.

Depends on where you're standing.

Close the bay door!

Close the bay door now!

Close the bay door!

They're initiating launch.

Hey, Cap, how do we know

the good guys from the bad guys?

If they're shooting

at you, they're bad.

Hey, Cap,

I found those bad guys

you were talking about.

You okay?

I'm not dead yet.

Let me ask you a question.

What if Pakistan marched

into Mumbai tomorrow

and you knew that they were

going to drag your daughters

into a soccer stadium

for execution,

and you could just stop it,

with a flick of the switch.

Wouldn't you?

Wouldn't you all?

Not if it was your switch.

I'm sorry.

Did I step on your moment?

Satellites in range at 3,000 feet.

Falcon, status?

Engaging-

All right, Cap. I'm in.

Oh, sh*t.

Eight minutes, Cap.

Working on it.

What are you doing?

She's disabling security protocols

and dumping all the secrets

onto the Internet.

- Including HYDRA'S.

- And S.H.I.E.L.D.'s.

If you do this,

none of your past is

gonna remain hidden.

Are you sure you're ready

for the world to see you

as you really are?

Are you?

Alpha lock.

Falcon, where are you now?

I had to take a detour.

Oh, yeah!

I'm in.

Bravo lock.

Two down, one to go.

All S.H.I.E.L.D. pilots, scramble.

We're the only air support

Captain Rogers has got.

Disabling the encryption

is an executive order.

It takes two Alpha Level members.

Don't worry. Company's coming.

Did you get my flowers?

- I'm glad you're here, Nick.

- Really?

Because I thought

you had me killed.

You know how the game works.

So why make me head

of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
