Captain America: The Winter Soldier Page #7

Because you were the best,

and the most ruthless person

I ever met.

I did what I did to protect people.

Our enemies are your enemies, Nick.

Disorder. War.

It's just a matter of time

before a dirty bomb goes off in Moscow,

or an EMF' fries Chicago.

Diplomacy?

A holding action, Nick. A band-aid.

And you know where

I learned that. Bogota.

You didn't ask.

You just did what had to be done.

I can bring order to the lives

of seven billion people

by sacrificing 20 million.

It's the next step, Nick.

If you have the courage to take it.

No. I have the courage not to.

Retinal scanner active.

You don't think we've wiped

your clearance from the system?

I know you erased my password.

Probably deleted my retinal scan.

But if you want to stay ahead

of me, Mr. Secretary,

you need to keep both eyes open.

Alpha level confirmed.

Encryption code accepted.

Safeguards removed.

Charlie carrier is 45

degrees off the port bow.

Six minutes.

Hey, Sam, gonna need a ride.

Roger. Let me know

when you're ready.

I just did!

You know, you're a lot heavier

than you look.

I had a big breakfast.

Steve!

Cap! Cap, come in. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm here.

I'm still on the helicarrier.

- Where are you?

- I'm grounded.

The suit's down. Sorry, Cap.

Don't worry. I got it.

Emergency evacuation alert.

All personnel, proceed to

designated safety zones.

All S.H.I.E.L.D. agents

regroup at Rally Point Delta.

Sir, the Council's been breached.

- Repeat, Dispatch.

- Black Widow's up there.

Headed up.

- Falcon?

- Yeah.

Rumlow's headed for the Council.

I'm on it.

People are gonna die, Buck.

I can't let that happen.

Please don't make me do this.

Done.

And it's trending.

Unless you want a two-inch

hole in your sternum,

I'd put that gun down.

That was armed the moment

you pinned it on.

Drop it!

Drop it!

I'm on 41, headed toward

the southwest stairwell.

This is gonna hurt.

There are no prisoners with HYDRA.

Just order.

And order only comes through pain.

- You ready for yours?

- Man, shut the hell up.

Lieutenant, how much longer?

65 seconds to satellite link.

Targeting grid engaged.

Lowering weapons array now.

One minute.

30 seconds, Cap.

Stand by.

Charlie...

We've reached 3,000 feet.

Sat link coming online now.

Deploy algorithm.

Algorithm deployed.

We are go to target.

Target saturation reached.

All targets assigned.

Fire when ready.

Firing in...

Three,

two...

One.

Charlie lock.

Where are the targets?

Where are the targets?

Okay, Cap, get out of there.

Fire now.

- But, Steve...

- Do it!

Do it now!

What a waste.

So, you still on the fence

about Rogers' chances?

Time to go, Councilwoman. This way.

Come on.

You're going to fly me out of here.

You know, there was a time

I would've taken a bullet for you.

You already did.

You will again, when it's useful.

Romanoff.

Natasha.

Natasha! Come on!

Those really do sting.

Hail HYDRA.

You're out of your depth, kid.

Son of a b*tch!

Please tell me you got

that chopper in the air!

Sam, where are you?

41st floor! Northwest corner!

We're on it! Stay where you are!

Not an option!

41st floor! 41st!

It's not like they put the floor numbers

on the outside of the building.

Hill! Where's Steve?

You got a location on Rogers?

You know me.

No, I don't!

Bucky.

You've known me your whole life.

Your name is James Buchanan Barnes.

Shut up!

I'm not gonna fight you.

You're my friend.

You're my mission.

You're my mission!

Then finish it.

Because I'm with you

to the end of the line.

On your left.

Do you solemnly swear to tell

the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth?

I do.

Why haven't we yet heard

from Captain Rogers?

I don't know what there is

left for him to say.

I think the wreck in

the middle of the Potomac

made his point fairly eloquently.

Well, he could explain how

this country is expected to maintain

its national security

now that he and you have laid waste

to our intelligence apparatus.

HYDRA was selling you lies,

not intelligence.

Many of which you seemed to have had

a personal hand in telling.

Agent, you should know

that there are some

on this committee

who feel, given your

service record,

both for this country

and against it,

that you belong in a penitentiary.

Not mouthing off on Capitol Hill.

You're not going to

put me in a prison.

You're not going to put any of us

in a prison. You know why?

Do enlighten us.

Because you need us.

Yes, the world is a

vulnerable place,

and yes, we help make it that way.

But we're also the ones

best qualified to defend it.

So, if you want to

arrest me, arrest me.

You'll know where to find me.

So, you've experienced

this sort of thing before.

You get used to it.

We've been data

mining HYDRA'S files.

Looks like a lot of rats

didn't go down with the ship.

I'm headed to Europe tonight.

Wanted to ask if you'd come.

There's something I

got to do first.

How about you, Wilson?

Could use a man with your abilities.

I'm more of a soldier than a spy.

All right, then.

Anybody asks for me, tell them

they can find me, right here.

You should be honored.

That's about as close as he gets

to saying thank you.

Not going with him?

No.

- Not staying here.

- Nah.

I blew all my covers.

I got to go figure out a new one.

That might take a while.

I'm counting on it.

That thing you asked for,

I called in a few favors from Kiev.

Will you do me a favor?

Call that nurse.

She's not a nurse.

And you're not a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

- What was her name again?

- Sharon.

She's nice.

Be careful, Steve.

You might not want to

pull on that thread.

You're going after him.

You don't have to come with me.

I know.

When do we start?

It's over. Fury has released

everything to the public.

Everything he knows about.

Herr Strucker, if they get

word of our work here,

if they find out we serve HYDRA...

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

Two sides of a coin

that's no longer currency.

What we have

is worth more than

any of them ever knew.

We've only scratched

the surface and already,

there are other facilities doing

HYDRA'S good work around the world.

We'll feed them to Captain America

and his colorful friends,

and keep them off our scent.

What about the volunteers?

The dead will be buried so deep

their own ghosts won't

be able to find them.

And the survivors?

The twins.

Sooner or later, they

will meet the twins.

It's not a world of spies anymore.

Not even a world of heroes.

This is the age of

miracles, Doctor.

There's nothing more horrifying

than a miracle.
