At HYDRA base in a snowy landscape. It's 1991 and a man entered a bunker and removed a red book marked with a black star.
A technician raised a cylindrical chamber, revealing Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier.
Bucky was secured in a chair, a mechanical device either side of his head causing him to scream in pain.
"Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight car. Good morning, Soldier." Karpov said and Bucky hesitated.
"Ready to comply." Bucky said.
"I have a mission for you. Sanction and extract. No witnesses."
Later that night a car was driving down a dirt road alone. The Winter Soldier was waiting at the side of the road with his motorcycle. As the car passed, he followed and came alongside the car and disabled it. It slammed into a tree. The Winter Soldier brought the motorcycle back around and climbed off. Then he walked to the car trunk and ripped it open, revealing a silver case containing several blue packets.
The driver lied on the ground beside the car. It's Howard.
"Help my wife. Please. Help." Howard said and the Winter Soldier walked over and hoist him up by his hair and stared at Howard's bloody face and Howard stared back pleadingly. "Sergeant Barnes?"
"Howard!" Marie said and the Winter Soldier pounded him hard in the face with his metal fist. "Howard!" she said and he slumped dead.
The Winter Soldier put him in the driver's seat with his face against the steering wheel. Maria was in the passenger seat with blood streaked down her face. Then he walked around, gripped her throat and expressionless strangled her.
Later he was back at the HYDRA base.
"Well done, Soldier." Karpov said.
Bucky nodded and left.
