Same Day: Military Base

Infirmary Room

Steven sits on a bed, now in his military uniform, staring at nothing, sad about what happened to Dr. Priyanka. The nurse takes considerable amounts of blood samples. He looks at her and says, "I think you got enough." He rolls down his sleeve.

Jenny and Sadie lean against the table across from him and hear him. As Jenny explains to Steven, Sadie signals the nurse to stop, "Any hope of reproducing a program is locked in your genetic code. But without Dr. Priyanka, it will take years." She holds a file to her chest.

Steven stands beside Sadie and looks ahead with a straight face as the nurse leaves the room with the samples, "She deserved more than this."

Sadie puts a comforting hand on his shoulder, "If it could only work once, she'd be proud it was you." They both look at each other with small smiles.

Main Room

Colonel Dewey leads Senator DeMayo and his aide to the facility, Senator DeMayo saying to him, "Colonel Dewey, my committee is demanding answers."

Colonel Dewey responds, "Great, why don't we start with how a German spy got a ride to my secret installation in your car?" He stops where Stanford is looking at the one-seater submarine, "What we got here?"

Stanford looks at them seriously, "Speaking modesty, 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."

Senator DeMayo asks, "Then who is?" He looks at Colonel Dewey.

Colonel Dewey looks at him and answers, "HYDRA. I'm sure you've been reading our briefings."

Senator DeMayo exclaims, "I'm on a number of committees, Colonel."

Jenny leads Sadie and Steven to the main room, where Colonel Dewey and Senator DeMayo are. Sadie explains, "Hydra is the Nazi deep science division. Spinel leads it." Senator DeMayo looks at the ladies and takes his hat off in respect.

Jenny adds, "But she has much bigger ambitions." They stop near them.

Col. Dewey explains, "Hydra's practically a cult. They worship Spinel. They think she's invincible."

Senator DeMayo asks him, "So what are you gonna do about it?"

Col. Dewey tells them, "Spoke to the president this morning. As of today, the SSR is being retested." He walks over to Jenny and Sadie.

Jenny was confused, "Colonel?"

Col. Dewey looks at the two women, "We are taking the fight to HYDRA. Pack your bags, Agent Carter, Agent Miller." He looks at Stanford, "You too, Mr. Pines. You're flying to London tonight."

Steven looks between Sadie and Dewey before fully turning to Colonel Dewey, standing straight and confident, "Sir, if you're going after Spinel, I want in."

Col. Dewey denies him, "You're an experiment. You're going to Alamogordo."

Steven claims, "The serum worked."

Col. Dewey tells him sternly, "I asked for an army, and all I got was you. You are not enough." He walks away.

Senator DeMayo goes up to Steven and gestures to Colonel Dewey, "With all due respect to the Colonel. I think we may be missing the point. I've seen you in action, Steven. More importantly, the countries seen it. Paper." He snaps his fingers to his aide, brings the paper to him, and shows it to Steven; 'NAZIS IN NEW YORK MYSTERY MAN SAVES CHILD', "The enlistment lines have been around the block since your picture hit the newsstands. You don't take a soldier, a symbol like that. And hide him in a lab." He puts his right hand on his left shoulder and starts walking along, asking him, "Son, do you wanna serve your country on the most important battlefield of the war?" He stops walking.

Steven tells him, "Sir, that's all I want." He stands up straight, looking severe.

Senator DeMayo shakes Steven's hand, "Then, congratulations. You just got promoted." Steven looks at him as he cannot believe that he got promoted to join the army.

On / Off Stage, Photo Shoots, Filming Area

Steven, dressed in a superhero costume, looks forward nervously, "I don't know if I can do this."

DeMayo's aide walks up behind him, "Nothing to it. Sell off a few bonds. Bonds buy bullets. Bullets kill Nazis. Bing bang boom. You're an American hero."

Steven tells him, "It's just not how I pictured getting there." The song on the stage begins to play.

DeMayo's aide tells him, "The Senator's got a lot of pull up on the hill." Steven puts on his head mask, "You play ball with us. You'll be leading your platoon in no time. Take the shield." Steven takes the metal shield from him and gets pushed onto the stage, "Go." The women dancers, also dressed in the same color as Steven (red, white, and blue) in formation, start singing and dancing when he walks on stage.

Steven reads from the cards attached to the back of his shield, "Not all of us can storm a beach or drive a tank, but there's still a way for us that can fight." The women behind him sing and dance, "Series needs defense bonds for each one you buy is a bullet in the barrel in your best guy's gun." He walks off the stage, and the women continue to sing and dance around the stage.

At a photoshoot center, Steven awkwardly holds a baby and smiles for the picture with the baby and its mother, and the baby starts crying when the camera flash goes off. Steven hands the baby back, and DeMayo's aide ushers her to move on. Steven, clearly not what he wanted to be there for but still puts a smile on his face, Senator DeMayo walks up to him and shakes his hand, and puts his other arm around his shoulder, and they both look at the camera smiling, the camera goes off with a flash.

It the filming area, Steven is still dressed in his costume, and a man behind him is dressed in military clothing. They all walk forward with straight blank faces as they walk on a treadmill and a film screen behind them to make it look like they are walking in a forest. The director told them, "Cut." They stop, and a bell goes off, meaning they're off the air and not filming. As they got off the treadmill, the director tells them, "Guys, don't look in the camera."

On stage, a woman danced and sang around the stage. Steven goes back on the stage, still in full costume as he stands in the middle, looking at the audience, smiling, remembering his lines fully, "Each one you buy is a bullet in a barrel of your best guys gun."

On another stage, Steven walks from backstage to the front of an audience as the woman sings and dances behind him.

On another stage, the woman is in a straight line, and Steven walks in from their left to the middle of the stage, smiles a bit, and plays the part. The audience claps and cheers. Senator DeMayo and his aide were sitting in the audience, happy with the results that they were getting. Back on the stage behind the woman is a man that looks like Hitler, sneaking up behind them as Steven says, "Now we all know this is about trying to win the war, but we can't do that without bullets and bandages, tanks and cast and that's where you come in. Every bond you buy will protect someone you love."

The kids in the audience say, "Turn around. Look, he's there behind you."

Steven continues, "The Germans will think twice about trying to get the drop on us." The man playing Hitler pushes the two women in front of him and goes to 'attack' Steven, but he quickly turns around, fake punches him, and the man falls to the ground pretending to be knocked out. And the kids cheered along with the audience as they clapped, and so did the women standing behind Steven. He turns to the audience, smiles, and waves to them.

It's the same in Buffalo, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Steven fake punches the man who was playing Hitler and falls. Senator DeMayo was smiling, impressed and happy at the results. Kids buy comic books to read, and so does a soldier in the war from the street stands.

Filming in black and white, Steven hides behind his shield as bullets hit it and then lowers the shield and gestures to the men behind him to run across. In another take, Steven and a few other men run out from behind a tank and shoot with machine guns across a beach.

In a movie theater, Steven sits in the crowd a little bashfully, with the crowd cheering for him on the screen as they watch.

Backstage, waking down a set of stairs, Steven signs an autograph for a kid with many people moving around and going up and down the stairs, he hands the kid the autograph at the bottom of the stairs, and a blonde woman smiling at him as the fan steps up to him smiling widely says, "Hi." Steven looks at her, surprised that a pretty woman walked up to him instead of a kid.

In New York, by the end of the show, Steven is holding up a motorcycle with three women from the act, sitting on it with his super strength. The women on stage continue to sing and dance as they finish the show, going into a pose. The audience began to cheer and clap for them.

Italy: November 1943

Five Miles From The Front

Steven speaking in a microphone to a crowd of soldiers on stage, "How many of you are ready to help me sock old Adolf in the jaw?" Silence comes from the crowd of soldiers as they look at him. Steven awkwardly continues, "Okay. Uh... I need a volunteer?"

Army Heckler #1 says, "I already volunteered! How do you think I got here?" The crowd of other soldiers laughs, and the man continues, "Bring back the girls!" There's a cheer from the soldiers, meaning they agree with the man.

Steven, not knowing what to do, glancing towards the backstage area and back to the crowd, "I think they only know the one song. But um... let me... I'll... I'll see what I can do."

Army Heckler #2 says, "You do that, sweetheart."

Army Heckler #3 says, "Nice boots, Tinker Bell!" The crowd of soldiers laughs at his comment.

Steven sighs, telling them, "Come on, guys. We're all on the same team here."

Army Heckler #4 says, "Hey, Captain! Sign this!" He stands up, turns around, and pulls his pants down. Steven looks away, and the soldiers laugh. Another soldier stands up and throws a tomato at Steven. Steven blocks it with his shield, and a few more soldiers throw tomatoes at Steven, and he blocks them as the crowd laughs, cheers, and claps. Steven, embarrassed by this, steps back as he lowers his head and walks offstage to his left from the side. Four-woman dancers and singers run in, and the soldiers cheer more loudly as the women pose and wave at them as the music starts to play.

Steven walks down the stairs backstage as DeMayo's aide says to him, "Don't worry, pal, they'll warm up to you. Don't worry." More dancers rush up the stairs to the stage.

Later: Evening

Backstage - Tent

As the rain was pouring outside, Steven was sitting alone in an area where he was covered from the rain. Steven was sitting on a step, not wearing his head mask and wearing a trench coat, drawing in his notebook about him like a monkey in a costume and his shield on a one-wheel bicycle, also holding an umbrella up. He sighs as he glances at the last letter he got from Connie, on the other side of the page from where he was drawing, worried about her. He continues to draw and stops when he hears a familiar voice behind him.

Sadie greets him, "Hello, Steven."

Steven looks behind him to see both Jenny and Sadie, surprised to see Sadie with a 7-month large baby belly but not shocked knowing that she was pregnant through them writing letters to each other, "Hi."

Sadie found out she was pregnant a little while after Steven went off to tour and wrote to her friends about it. The three people she loves the most in the world. Connie and Steven wrote about how happy they were for her and Lars. Lars was completely surprised and shocked at the news. Even though Sadie wanted to tell him in person, she and Lars couldn't leave where they were. They continue writing about their plans when they get back home and when they will see each other again.

Jenny greets him, "Hi."

Steven stands up to hug Sadie as the two of them step down from where they were standing. Steven asks them, "What are you two doing here?"

Jenny answers, "Officially, we're not here at all." She sits on the step from where she and Sadie were standing, putting her coat beside her.

Steven helps Sadie to sit down where she is sitting on his right. They both can still speak and look at Jenny sitting behind them, and Sadie says to him, "That was quite a performance."

Steven nods as he looks down at the floor, "Yeah. Uh... I had to improvise a little bit." He looks up, "Crowds I'm used to are usually more uh... 12."

Jenny asks, "But I understand your America's new hope?"

Steven answers her, "Bond sales take a ten percent bump in every state I visit."

Sadie teases, "Is that Senator DeMayo I hear?"

Steven tells her, unhappy at what he's doing, "At least he's got me doing this. Dewey would have had me be stuck in a lab."

Sadie looks at him, "And these are your only two options? A lab rat or a dancing monkey?" She looks at the notebook in his lap, "You were meant for more than this, you know?" Steven goes to respond but hesitates, "What?"

Steven answers her, "You know, for the longest time, I dreamed about coming overseas and being on the front lines. Serving my country. I finally get everything I wanted... and I'm wearing tights."

Sadie smiles a little and asks him, "Have you heard from Connie lately because it's been a while since Lars last wrote to me?"

Steven answers as he shows her the last letter he got from Connie, "No, I haven't. This is the last letter I got from Connie."

They hear a sound of a car horn beeping behind them. They turn their heads to see a military medical truck with military doctors unloading an injured person to the medical tent that the truck stopped in front of. Steven nods at them and comments, "They look like they've been through hell."

Jenny tells him what's happening, "These men, more than most. Spinel sent out a force to Azzano. Two hundred men went up against her, and less than fifty returned. Your audience contained what was left of the 107th. The rest were killed or captured."

Steven and Sadie both quickly looked up, "The 107th?"

Jenny looks at them and asks, "What?"

Outside

Still raining, Steven runs out and gestures to Sadie and Jenny, who cover both her and Sadie with her jacket as they try to keep up with Steven. Sadie has a little more difficult time running due to her pregnancy.

Army Base:

Tent

Steven walks up to Colonel Dewey at his desk, "Colonel Dewey?"

Col. Dewey looks at a report and glances at Steven, "Well, if it isn't the star-spangled man with a plan. And what is your plan today?"

Steven stands tall and asks him straight up, "I need the casualty list for Azzano."

Col. Dewey tells him, "You don't get to give me orders, son."

Steven says to him, "I just need two names. Sergeant Lars Barriga and Sergeant Connie Maheswaran from the 107th."

Col. Dewey points to Jenny and Sadie, "You two and I are gonna have a conversation later that you won't enjoy."

Steven pleads, "Please tell me if they're alive, sir. C-O-N-"

Col. Dewey gives in, "I can spell." He holds a piece of paper and says, "I have signed more of these condolence letters today than I would care to count." He stands up from his desk, "But the name does sound familiar. I'm sorry." Behind Steven, Sadie held back her tears, and Jenny rubbed her back softly in comfort.

Steven took a moment to let that in, then asked, "What about the others? Are you planning a rescue mission?"

Col. Dewey tells him, "Yeah! It's called winning the war."

Steven exclaims, "But if you know where they are, why not at least-"

Col. Dewey interrupts him, "They're 30 miles behind the lines. Through the most heavily fortified territory in Europe. We'd lose more men than we'd save. But I don't expect you to understand that because you're a chorus girl."

Steven is upset with him but does nothing, "I think I understand just fine."

Col. Dewey tells him, "Well then, understand it somewhere else. If I read the posters correctly, you got someplace to be in 30 minutes." He walks away from them as Steven looks at the military map, which shows where the soldiers are.

Steven answers him as he does, "Yes, sir. I do." He leaves the tent.

Colonel Dewey points at Sadie, "If you have something to say, right now is the perfect time to keep it to yourself."

Backstage Area:

Tent

Still in his uniform, Steven rushes to pack a bag as Jenny and Sadie walk in, all soaked from the rain.

Sadie questions Steven worriedly, "What do you plan to do? Walk to Austria?" She says, not wanting to lose him too.

Steven answers her, not changing his mind about going, "If that's what it takes."

Jenny tells him, "You heard the Colonel. Your friend is most likely dead."

Steven tells her, trying to stay calm, "You don't know that. And one of them is not just my friend. She's more than that." He puts on his trench coat.

Jenny tells him, "Even so, he's devising a strategy to take time-"

Steven interrupts her, raising his voice, "By the time he's done that, it could be too late!" He grabs his bag and his shield and rushes out of the tent with Sadie and Jenny following him.

Outside

Steven rushes to the nearest military car and throws his bag and shield in it, about to go in, but Sadie grabs his arm, "Steven."

Steven turns to her, "You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?"

Sadie looks at him and says entirely seriously, "Every word."

Steven tells her softly, "Then you gotta let me go."

Sadie nods and says, "I can do more than that."

Later On:

Backstage Area

The singers and dancers are about to go back on stage for another performance. Senator's aide told them they had 5 minutes. All the singers were grabbing their helmets. One could not find hers, and she looked around, confused, "Where's my helmet?"

The Senator's aide looks around, asking, "Has anyone seen Steven?"
