Location: In Tønsberg, Norway.
A Man is running towards a temple, he enters the temple, and returns to the keeper.
Man:
They're here
But then the front door is blown up killing the man, an huge tank of high tech is seen from the smoke, then a man named Johann Schmidt enters the Tower and speaks to the keeper.
Johann Schmidt:
Keeper, it took me a long time to find this place ever since the Fuhrer ordered me to find it. I think that you are man of great vision. And in this way we are much alike.
Keeper:
We are nothing alike
Schmidt:
No of course not. But what others see as superstition, you and I know to be a science.
Keeper:
What you seek is a legend
Schmidt:
Then why do you make such an effort to conceal it.
Then he looks at a tomb, he opens the old tomb easily without much effort and picks up the glass cube from the skeletal remains of an old Viking and says
Schmidt:
The Tesseract was the jewel of Odin's treasure room.
*He turns to face the tower keeper and deliberately drops and smashes the glass cube*
Schmidt:
It's not something to bury, but the real one is close.
The keeper:
I'm sorry but I can't help you.
Schmidt:
Of course not but… you can help your village. You must have some friends out there. Some...some little grandchildren perhaps. I have no need for them to die.
Schmidt walks towards to the carving of the tree on one of the tower walls
Schmidt:
Yggdrasil, the tree of the world. Guardian of wisdom and fate also.
he presses a button on the carving of the tree and it opens up to reveal the real cube inside it and it glows. to Schmidt awe.
Schmidt:
It's amazing and beautiful.
Keeper:
It's not meant for the eyes of ordinary men.
Schmidt:
Oh I agree, because I'm not ordinary.
He closes the box containing the glowing cube and turns to his soldiers,
Schmidt:
open fire
The Keeper:
You can't control its power, it will burn you
Schmid turns, and shoots and kills the tower keeper
Date:
February 10, 1934, Berlin, Germany. 8 years ago.
Adolf Hitler, the Führer of Nazi Germany, and the Third Reich. With him are Heinrich Himmler, head of the Schutzstaffel, and Ernst Kaufmann, head of the Sturmabteilung (SA)'s Special Weapons Division are all getting out from the Opera
Hitler:
Wagner line of thought is intimately familiar to me. what is celebrated is not the christian religion of compassion but pure and nobl blood...blood whose purity the brotherhood of initiates has cometogether to guard, a divise process is taking place in terms of world history, the man who see's the meaning of life in conflict will gradually mount the stairs of a new aristocracy
Schmidt meets with them
Schmidt:
But surely the old ways arent to be dispensed with altogether?.
Hitler:
Who?
Schmidt:
Please forgive my manners. i am Johann Schmidt, mein fuhter i conduct graduate research in physics at the university, Herr Wagner music has influenced my work just as it had inspired you to set Germany back on a path to greatness and what he taches us about our heritage is more than metaphorical.
Ernst Kaufmann:
Bah! a student of Einstein and other decadent jewish
Hitler:
Be still Gruppenfuhter Kaufmann
Hitler looks at Schmidt
Hitler:
what is the link between Wagner and Physics?
Schmidt:
What if the old norse tales Wagner adapts into his operas are more history than myth mein fuhrer? and what the supersitious masses refer to as Magic is simply the oldest science ever known?, with the further fundings, i hope to confirm my theories.
Hitler:
Intriguing
Kaufmann:
Sounds like fanatic rubbish.
Hitler:
I doubt it. Kaufmann arrange a full scale meeting between me and the Professor where there is an opening in my schedule.
Kaufmann:
Ja. Mein Fuhrer.
Hitler leaves as Kaufmann turns to look at Schmidt
Kaufmann:
Do you know who i am, peasant
Schmidt:
I believe you are Ernst Kaufmann head of the Sturmabteilung's special weapons division
Kaufmann:
Graf Von Kaufmann to you!
Kaumfann and his men took Schmidt out of the building.
Schmidt:
They say with its Advanced Arsenal. your stormtroopers will soon supplant the german army itself. it would be the ideal place for me to continue my research
Kaufmann:
Shut up! i will let not let you distract out Fuhrer with mystic drivel!. If you ever came near Hitler again I'll kill you
Kaufmann punches Schmidt to the ground, Kaufmann and his goons returned to the building, Schmidt gets up and dusts himself off. He gets ready to leave only to be approached by Heinrich Himmler, head of the Schutzstaffel (SS), the elite Nazi paramilitary unit that served as Hitler's body guard.
Himmler:
Schmidt, I'm interested in your ideals and I'd like to recruit you into the SS. You willing to join?
Schmidt: Herr Himmler?
Himmler:
We should talk.
Date: June 30, 1934.
As part of the Night of the Long Knives, Schmidt goes to the Hanselbauer Hotel, where we see Kaufmann in the pool.
Kaufmann:
Krupp, bring me a Towel when you come here.
then Schimdt approches him
Schmidt:
Gruppenfuhrer Krupp isnt coming, Herr Kaufmann. none of your comrades are.
Kaufmann is surprised to see him
Kaufmann:
Schmidt?!, what do you think you're doing here? what is the meaning of this? this retreat is for SA Officers only!
Schmidt:
There is no S.A. not after tonight. for you this is the night of the long knives the only way the army would support der fuhrer regime was if your stormtroopers were eliminated, Herr Himmler shares my interest in the old ways and the Schtzstaffel is more than happy to oblige.
Schmidt grabs a knife.
Schmidt:
Fear not! your weapons program is in good hands, mine!
Then he throws the knife at Kaufmann, hitting him in the chest, killing him.
Schmidt:
You would be a Stormtrooper Kaufmann? i will bring them thunder!
Date: July 10, 1934
Schutzstaffel seized control of the weapons program. and they begin to kill the personal in a gun fight
Schmidt:
The S.A. is no more! the facility is now property of the SS!
S.A. Member:
Liar! we have received no orders from Gruppenfuhrer Kaufmann about this!
Schmidt and an teammate take cover.
Schmidt:
I would imagine my killing him has something to do with that
SS soldier:
Kaufmann handpicked all these meh, Herr Schmidt, they're loyal to him to the death
Schmidt:
Is that so? lets make them prove it
He returns fire and kills one of the SA.
Date: September 11, 1935.
Sometime After refusing to cooperate with Hitler, Abraham Erskine tries to flee in train with his family, His Wife; Marlene Erskine and Son; Klaus Erskine. His wife's father was a Jew and Erskine wanted to take his family to safety.
Klaus:
But i dont want to go to Genevai
Abraham:
But it has skiing there. Klaus you like Skiing
Klaus:
There's no skiing in September and the school play starts tommorow i was going to be the main tree
Abraham:
A ski chateay is just as good as school, Klaus. you can learn all sorts of usefulthings acceleration the drag of a skier's mass as pulled on by gravity
then the train stops
Marlene:
Why are we stopping?
Abraham:
Nothing to worry about, Marlene dear. perfectly routine. they just need to check our passports.
then he see's Schmidt outside. the Nazis enters the building, holding a picture of Erskine. asking everyone if they have seen him.
Nazi:
Do you know his man, named Abraham Erskine.
Erskine starts to get nervous
Klaus:
That's you Dad!
Erskine slowly gets up
Marlene:
Abraham! dont!
Erskine:
It'll be all right. strangers shouldn't have to suffer because of me
He looks at the Nazis
Erskine:
I am Abraham Erskine.
Nazi:
come with me.
Erskine meets with Schmidt outside.
Schmidt:
You waited too long to Run, Herr Professor.
Erskine:
Run? No, not at all, just a brief holiday. i'll be back in time for the fall mester
Schmidt:
Shut up and sit down
He sits in a chair
Erskine:
May i have my passport back?
Schmidt:
You may not. i know why it took you so long to make up your mind. your research at the university was going so spectaculary well and you were loath to leave it. increading the molecular, density of cellular ribers, skin. muscle. through synthetic proteins of your own devising. my group had been monitoring your progress for some time, to see how much you could achieve without our assitance. but then someone in the party warned you what the Fuhrer would be announcing at the rally tommorow in Nuremberg, Laws against Jews and Aryans intermarrying, restricting the types of jobs, jews can hold by Et cetera, your wife's father was jewish, was he not? that means your kid have somewhere on the aryan heritage chart, yes?, rubbish. racist superstition masquerading as junk science. we know that the superior man will not be born, Professor Erskine. he will not be a member of any "Master race" he will be a race into himself and you are going to help me make him.
Erskine:
You work with the Nazis even though you do not follow their ideology?
Schmidt:
And?
Erskine:
And is that supposed to make me think you are less despicable than them? or so much more?
Schmidt:
Forgive me, Herr Professor for awnsering a question with a question. if i kill your family because of their jewish blood or if i kill your family because you refuse to aid me will they not be dead all the same?
Erskine see's no way out, he looks at him then puts his head down.
Erskine:
when do you want me to begin?
Schmid:
You already have
Date: November 1, 1936.
HYDRA have a fight with a black giant creature.
HYDRA Soldier:
Take him down!
They shoot the creature down with the weapons designed by Arnim Zola,
Jetfire:
ARGHHHHH!
The giant alien Robot, named Jetfire falls defeated. Schmidt shows up and grins.
Schmidt:
Bring the creature to HQ. It may serve some purpose to us.
Date: February 11, 1940.
Schmidt meets with Hitler in his office.
Hitler:
Schmidt, begin searching for the Tesseract. I'm confident that it's real.
Schmidt grins
Date: February 20, 1940,
Howard Stark meets with Colonel Chester Phillips in a cinema who shows him footage found by their undercover agent Agent 13 of HYDRA weapons from the 3 years ago, which shows them using really advanced weapons.
Phillips:
This footage was brought by an undercover agent, As you can see Stark, we need you to develop weapons to use against the Nazis and Hydra.
Later on they drive away.
Stark:
Why? We are not at war with Germany,
Phil:
the General Consensus in the White House and War Department that this is a temporary condition, the Third Reich represents the greatest threat to Liberty and Justice the world have seen
Stark:
I suppose you're right and if their "HYDRA" developed those weapons to fight Spanish rebels 3 years ago
Phil:
God only knows what horrors they've cooked up now exactly, that's why President Roosevelt has authorized the Secret formation of a Strategic Scientific Reserve made up of America Greatest minds and he wants you to join.
Stark:
I'll think about it.
Phil:
Good, in the meantime, let's get rid of this Hydra agent that's been following us.
Stark:
What?
Stark looks and sees a police car chasing them. When Stark goes to slow down the police car tries to run them off the road causing Stark to speed up. The police car continues to follow them.
Phil:
Told you. They probably want to assassinate you.
Stark:
What else is new?
The Hydra agents fire at Stark's car.
Stark:
Good thing i made this bullet proof, but i have a trick under my sleeve.
Stark presses a button which launches small missiles from the top of his car and blows up the HYDRA agents. After all is done Phillips and Stark get out of the Car.
Stark:
after carefully thinking about it, I wants to be in, I haven't had this much fun in months, not since that time a hot chick got drunk and decided to strip in front of me.
Date: February 27, 1940
Location: in Brooklyn.
We see a man, thin Man named Steve Rogers and his best friend James "Bucky" Barnes. The funeral of Steve mother just happened, they are walking to Steve apartment
Barnes:
We looked for you. My folks wanted to give you a ride from the cemetery
Steve:
I know, I'm sorry. I just...kind of wanted to be alone.
Barnes:
I figured. At least she's with your dad now.
Steve:
Yeah, that's about it.
Barnes pauses. Steve knows what he wants to tell him,
Bucky:
We can put the couch cushion 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.
As they get to the apartment door, Steve tries to find his keys, Bucky kicks a brick aside, picks up the apartment keys from under it and gives it to Steve.
Steve:
Thanks but I can fend on my own
Bucky:
You don't have to because I'm with you till the end of the line.
Bucky leaves. As Steve enters back inside his house.
Date: November 10, 1940,
in Schmidt mansion we hear him scream in agony, his "maid" knocks the door
Maid:
Mr. Schmidt it's been two days since the accident and you needs to eat something.
With his face covered in bandages
Schmidt:
there were no accidents!
He grabs a couch and tosses it to the door
Schmidt:
Now go to hell and leave me alone to contemplate the meaning of my fate.
In the dungeons we see Erskine, handcuffed to the walls. Arnim Zola visits him
Zola:
You picked the most inoffortune time fail. But I knew you would fail, all I would have to do is to bide my time and an opportunity for you to provide a technological solution to the Ubermensch soldier program would present itself.
Erskine:
My serum didn't failed, it did exactly what it had to do it enhances what is already within, it was Schmidt who failed...at being a human being,
Zola:
I doubts Schmidt will see it that way and once he recovers from his disfigurement, no doubt he will order your execution, and after that he will execute your family. So I ask you how it feels to have your failures be the reason your wife and kid will die
Erskine!
NO!
The "Maid" shows to the dungeons.
Maid:
Mr. Zola, dinner is served.
Zola:
Thanks.
Zola leaves for eat. Once the space is clear then the "maid" actually the undercover agent, Margaret "Peggy" Carter frees Erskine
Erskine:
I thank you now I can make Zola tell me where my family is so I can at least say goodbye.
Carter:
I'm afraid you can't do that. Zola will be asleep with 80% of the staff once he eats.
Erskine:
What? Just who are you?
Carter:
I'm agent Carter with the British Secret Intelligence, I've been assigned to rescue you. Although, I would've liked it if my commanders didn't waited too long to give to order to free you.
She picks a gun and they get out the dungeons, where they are spotted, she kills them, as more guards shows up,
Carter:
Erskine go up the ladders quickly before the remaining members find us.
They go up as she kills more guards,
Erskine:
I got to find my family they're in a camp somewhere in Germany and most find them before they are killed.
Carter:
Erskine, I already tried and I found something about them. I'm sorry to say this but…they're dead. TYPHUS broken out, thousands of inmates died including your wife and son and that was in 1937, Schmidt never bothered to tell you, so that he would still have leverage, now you must come with me if you want to live,
Erskine grabs the gun of a fallen guard
Erskine:
Then I'm going back down and kill Schmidt and you're not going to stop me,
Carter:
Don't throw your life away. Schmidt's strength due to the serum is unbelievable. You won't stand a chance, no matter how many guns you bring. Instead share your serum with the allies where it can be used against HYDRA and that's how you can get back at him,
Erskine:
I regret even inventing that thing.
Now in the top Carter grabs a gun with a grappling hook, she grabs Erskine
Carter:
Hold tight
she shoots the hook to a plane and they go up, as the bottom part of the place opens, the get inside, we see Stark and Colonel Phillips inside, Erskine recognizes Stark, they haven't seen each other since the Engineering Conference in Geneva in 1934,
Erskine:
Stark what are you doing here?
Stark:
Serving my country in the SSR and would be glad to have you with us.
Date: December 7, 1941.
Bucky and Steve are talking inside an art building, where they are drawing a model. When the boss of the building enters
Boss:
We are at War!, they bombed the hell outta Pearl Harbor, everyone turn in the radio!
Radio:
All those Sailors entombed in their ships at the bottom of the sea what their families must be going through at approximately 8 am local time, Hapanese Aircraft attacked the main base of the us pacific fleet at Pearl Harbot just outside Honolulu
After this Steve and Bucky go to the street.
Steve:
We must enlist.
Bucky:
I know i do but i thought you were gonna put Norman Rockwell Outta business
Steve:
This is a highter calling, Roosevelt won't just go after Japan, we will be at War with Hitler and Mussolini soon enough he will need everybody he can get
Bucky:
I agree but...you
Steve:
Save your breath, I've heard the same script since we were kids. Am I or Am I not talking to the 3 times west since YMCA welterweight champ,
Bucky:
Sure
Steve:
Then you can get me ready to pass that Physical, Buck, I know you can.
Bucky:
I don't know that! I need something to work with first! you get winded taking 3 flights of stairs!, you don't need a trainer Steve, you need a complete body transplant
Steve:
Forget it then, i'll figure it out myself
He turns to leave, but Bucky stops him.
Bucky:
Dont take this harsh, i just dont want to lose you.
Steve:
No hard feelings Buck, but as i said i can take care for myself.
Date: March 10, 1942.
In his new HQ in the Alps, which was given to him by Hitler as a small reward for his injuries, Schmidt is trying out a Mask that HYDRA members made for him in the likeness of his old face.
Schmidt:
This looks great. Thank you.
Hydra member:
Your welcome sir. Any problems come and see me.
Schmidt nods and goes to check on Zola, who is working near to the offline Jetfire, Zola is working on armored suit using Jetfire tech
Schmidt:
I like what I see.
Zola:
They are combat suits, a person can controll the suit from the inside and its made from the creature metal. it was built with multiple weapons in its systems, i am also trying to figure out to do suits that transform like our friend here
Schmidt:
one day, there will be man-made transformers, but for now we have an army of armors piloted by us. Under our control the weak will fear us.
a Hydra member enters the lab.
Hydra member:
Schmidt
Schmidt looks at him
Hydra Member:
Sir we found the location of the Tesseract
Schmidt:
Good I'll be on my way.
Zola:
What's up?
Schmidt:
I'm going to meet the fate of all mankind
Date: March 12, 1942.
The Machine where the Super Soldier test subject for Project Birth will be put in after being injected with the serum is done.
Howard Stark:
I think I would prefer the name to be Project: Brooklyn, but now we can show to the Nazis that they got competition,
Colonel Phillips:
Stark that is the 17th time you have said that. But now we get a subject for the project, Agent Carter what's your opinion in the matter,
Carter:
We only need to find the right subject this time. I've seen what happens when it falls into the wrong hands.
Erskine:
I agree. After all none of the candidates so far are suitable for me,
Phillips:
I think you're being a little crazy and setting a too high of a standard for this Erskine. We had 20 volunteers.
Erskine:
No, the subtext must be the highest,
Phillips gives him a list of potential test subjects and how good they are,
Erskine:
I've seen them, but they are not the right subjects, the serum brings out what is inside them and I somehow can see what's inside them.
Phillips:
If you can't decide, then I will decide it for you,
Erskine:
no. the knowledge of the serum is in my head, only there, I never wrote it down so that Schmidt had no choice but to keep him alive, so only I can make the choice and will not rest until I find the subject, even if it takes time to do so.
Date: March 13, 1942.
Steve tries to enlist again but is rejected again as his paper work is rejected.
Doctor:
Sorry fella, but this is for your own good.
Steven:
*Sigh*
He storms out of the building. As he walks outside to the street, looking at posters and such about the Army wanting you to enlist and help. He slightly gets down but he's determinate to get into the army any way possible. Then he sees a Jerk picking on someone
Steve:
Hey, leave the person alone
So the Jerk begins to beat Steve, while the bullied person runs away. Steve grabs a lid to defend himself.
Steve:
I can do this all day
The jerk grabs it and takes it away
Jerk:
You just don't know when to give up, do you?
He then hits Steve, but then Bucky shows up
Bucky:
HEY!
and kicks his ass, Bucky helps Steve get up.
Bucky:
Sometimes, I think you like getting punched.
Steve Rogers:
I had him on the ropes.
Bucky picks up Steve's enlistment form from the ground
James Barnes:
How many times is this?
reading from the enlistment form
James Barnes:
Ah, you're from Paramus now. You know it's illegal to lie on your enlistment form. And seriously, Jersey?
Steve:
Have you enlisted?
Bucky:
Yes, The one-o-seventh. Sergeant James Barnes. Shipping for England first thing tomorrow.
Steve:
Then maybe you should go already
Bucky:
Nope it's my last night here so I got a better idea but first you have to get cleaned up.
Bucky puts his arm over bucky shoulder, as they walk away.
Steve:
Where are we going?
Bucky:
To the future.
they go to the World Exposition, where various inventors shows their new inventions, they also see the Human Torch android in an presentation with its creator Phineas Thomas Horton as they check the inventions
Phineas Thomas:
And here's my new invention, the world's first fully functional android. this thing can burst into flames and could be usefull for military operations, let me explain how the Torch exactly works.
Bucky and Steve are still watching this among a crowd.
Bucky:
Hey I know how you can enlist.
Steve:
How?
Bucky:
Steal that android and we'll disguise it as you.
Steve:
One problem. It would take six of you to probably lift it.
Bucky:
True.
Then they pass thru Howard Stark doing a demonstration for a flying car
Howard Stark:
Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you that in just a few short years, your automobile won't even have to touch the ground at all.
the female helpers take the wheels of the car on stage
Howard Stark:
Yes. Thanks, Mandy.
addressing the audience again
Howard Stark:
With Stark robotic reversion technology, you'll be able to do just that.
he turns on the switch of his machine and the car starts to hover off the ground
James Barnes: Holy cow!
the robots making the car hover suddenly malfunction and the car falls back on stage
Howard Stark:
I did say a few years, didn't I?
the audience laughs.
Bucky:
What do you think Steve? Steve?
but Steve leaves, as he looks at recruitment posters on the walls of a building. Bucky catches up with him
James Barnes:
You really gonna do this again?
Steve Rogers:
Well, it's a fair. I'm gonna try my luck.
James Barnes:
As who? Steve from Ohio? They'll catch you. Worse, they'll actually take you.
Just as they speak, we see Abraham Eriskine passing by, as he overhears them.
Steve Rogers:
Look, I know you don't think I can do this.
James Barnes:
This isn't a back alley, Steve. It's a war!
Steve Rogers:
I know it's a war. You don't have to tell me.
James Barnes:
Why are you so keen to fight? There are so many important jobs.
Steve Rogers:
What am I gonna do? Collect scrap metal...
James Barnes:
Yes!
Steve Rogers:
...in my little red wagon.
James Barnes:
Why not?
Steve Rogers:
I'm not gonna sit in a factory, Bucky. Bucky, come on! There are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do any less than them. That's what you don't understand. This isn't about me.
James Barnes:
Right. Cause you got nothing to prove.
Theres a brief moment of silence, but Bucky realizes he needs to leave now
James Barnes:
Well i think its time for me to go, want me to give you a ride home.
Steve:
No thanks, i think i will stay here for a while.
Bucky:
Okay then, don't do anything stupid until I get back.
Steve Rogers:
How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you.
James Barnes:
You're a punk.
he walks back towards Steve and hugs him goodbye
Steve Rogers:
Jerk. Be careful.
as James is walking away
Steve Rogers:
Don't win the war till I get there!
As they walk on their own paths, Erskine grins as he sees Steve. He found the guy. Steve goes to enlist again. a doctor is checking on Steve, as nurse enters
Nurse:
Doc, we need to talk.
The Doctor turns to leave.
Steven:
Anything wrong?
Doctor:
Stay here.
The doctors inside start to suspect, Erskine enters the building, Erskine starts to review Rogers file
Erskine:
What do you know about this man?
Doctor:
He's a fraud, he tried to enlist in different centers in the tri-state area claiming to be from a defend state, we must stop him,
Erskine:
No, I want to speak to him first,
Doctor:
Lying to an army recruiter is a serious crime.
Erskine:
so would be losing the war and this young man may be what we need.
Erskine enters the room where Rogers is
Erskine:
do you want to go overseas and kill Nazis?
Steve:
Excuse me.
Erskine:
Do you want to join the army,
Steve:
Who are you?
Erskine:
I was from Germany but now I live in Queens. Does it bother you that I'm from Germany?
Steve:
No
Erskine:
So where are you at? We have a file on you and it says that you tried 4 exams in 4 different cities with this being the fifth.
Steve:
Look I know it's…..
Erskine:
the exams is not what interests me. It's all of your attempts. Do you want to kill Nazis?
Steve:
Is this a test?
Dr. Abraham Erskine:
Yes.
Steve Rogers:
I don't wanna kill anyone. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from. Well, there are already so many big men fighting this war. Maybe what we need now is the little guy, huh?
Erskine:
I can offer you a chance. Only a chance.
Steve Rogers:
I'll take it.
Dr. Abraham Erskine:
Good. So where is the little guy from, actually?
Steve Rogers:
Brooklyn.
he stamps Steve's form and hands him back his file
Dr. Abraham Erskine:
Congratulations, soldier.
Steve opens up the file and sees that he's been stamped as accepted meanwhile after gaining the Tesseract, Schmidt returned to his base and gave the object to Arnim Zola for studying.
Zola:
It's beautiful and powerful.
Schmidt:
Indeed. The Tesseract was shown to be so powerful that it could destroy the world but you know what I think we should keep this to ourselves.
Zola:
What do you mean?
Schmidt:
I mean i can overthrow Hitler and rule the world myself.
Zola:
Dont get ahead, yet Herr Schimdt. i still need to see if my weapons will accept the power of this cube.
Schmidt:
It Better...
Date: March 15, 1942.
After we see Steve in a training camp where we see meets with Margaret "Peggy" Carter introduce herself to the recruits
Peggy Carter:
Gentlemen, I'm Agent Carter. I supervise all operations of this division.
Gilmore Hodge:
What's with the accent, Queen Victoria? Thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army.
Peggy Carter:
What's your name, soldier?
Gilmore Hodge:
Gilmore Hodge, your Majesty.
Peggy Carter:
Step forward, Hodge.
Hodge steps forward
Peggy Carter:
Put your right foot forward.
Gilmore Hodge:
Are we dancing? Cause I got a few moves I know you'll like.
suddenly Peggy punches him hard in the face, General Phillips show up. with Dr Erskine.
Col. Chester Phillips:
Agent Carter, i see you have everything handled pretty well here.
He see's the knocked recruit
Col. Chester Phillips:
Get up soldier
Gilmore Hodge does so
Gilmore Hodge:
Yes sir
Col. Chester Phillips:
General Patton has said that wars are fought with weapons but they are won by men. We are going to win this war because we have the best men. And because they're gonna get better. Much better. The Strategic Scientific Reserve is an allied effort made up of the best minds in the free world. Our goal is to create the best army in history. But every army starts with one man. At the end of this week we will choose that man. He will be the first in a new breed of super-soldiers. And they, will personally escort Adolf Hitler to the gates of Hell.
As he speaks we see an montage of Steve training, but failling during his training due to being in bad
Date: March 17, 1942.
The recruits are now pulling push ups, while Steve struggles doing push ups, Phillips and Erskine walk by the area supervising them.
Phillips:
I'm not sure if picking Steve is the best option.
Erskine:
I am looking for qualities beyond the physical
Phillips:
I'm still not convinced that he's our guy. I want one of the other men.
Erskine:
No, they're too aggressive
Phillips:
Do you know how long it took to set up this project?
Dr. Abraham Erskine:
Yeah, I know.
Col. Chester Phillips:
And all the groveling I had to do in front of senator what's his name.
Dr. Abraham Erskine:
I know. I am well aware of your efforts.
Phillips:
We won't win the war with niceness but with guts.
He tosses a dummy grenade,
Phillips:
GRENADE!
all the soldiers move away quickly but Steve jumps on top of it covering it with his body
Steve Rogers:
Get away! Get back!
waits for the grenade to go off but nothing happens, Steve looks at Phillips and Erskine
Steve Rogers:
Is this is a test?
Erskine looks at Phillips as to confirm his point about choosing Steve
Col. Chester Phillips:
He's still skinny.
That night, we see Steve reading a book while he sits on his bed. Erskine then walks towards him and sits on a chair. Steve looks at him.
Steve:
Can I ask you a question?
Dr. Abraham Erskine: Just one?
Steve Rogers: Why me?
Dr. Abraham Erskine:
I suppose that is the only question that matters. So many people forget that the first country that the Nazi's invaded was their own. You know, after the last war the...my people struggled. They...they felt weak. They felt small. And then Hitler comes along with the marching and the big show and the flags and the...and the...And he...he hears of me, my work and he finds me. And he says, you...he says you will make us strong. Well, I am not interested. So he sends the head of Hydra, his research division. A brilliant scientist by the name of Johann Schmidt. Now, Schmidt is a member of the inner circle and he's ambitious. He and Hitler share a passion for a cult power and Teutonic myth. Hitler uses his fantasies to inspire his followers. But for Schmidt it is not fantasy. For him, it is real. He has become convinced that there is a great power in the earth, left there by the Gods, waiting to be seized by a superior man. So when he hears about my formula and what it can do, he cannot resist. Schmidt must become that superior man.
Steve:
Did it make him stronger.
Erskine:
Yes but there were other effects. and here's where comes the most important part, the man. The serum amplifies everything that is inside. So, good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man, who has known power all his life, will lose respect for that power. But a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows compassion. Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.
Steve:
Thanks. I think.
Date: March 21, 1942.
Location: At the HYDRA HQ
Zola enters Schmidt main office, and see's him looking at the window.
Red Skull:
What do you want, Zola?
Zola:
Umm i wanted to report that i was succesfully able to collect the power of the cube for use it on our weapons, and i was told that we've found him, its that true.
Red Skull: Yes its true, Erskine was found, we need to get the serum or destroy it, because with that the Allies will have an army that will outmatch us.
Zola:
Can I give the order.
Red Skull:
It was already given.
Date: March 23, 1942.
Location: Brooklyn
Peggy and Steve are being driven to the location where the experiment will be held. Steve looks at th neighborhood
Steve:
I know this neighborhood. I got beat up in that alley. And that parking lot. And behind that diner.
Peggy Carter:
Did you have something against running away?
Steve Rogers:
You start running they'll never let you stop. You stand up, push back. Can't say no forever, right?
Peggy Carter:
I know a little of what that's like. To have every door shut in your face.
Steve Rogers:
I guess I just don't why you'd wanna join the army if you're a beautiful dame. Or a beautiful...a woman. An agent, not a dame! You are beautiful, but...
Peggy Carter:
You have no idea how to talk to a woman, do you?
Steve Rogers:
This is the longers conversation I've had with one. Women aren't exactly lining up to dance with a guy they might step on.
Peggy:
So are you big with the girls?
Steve:
Not really. My friend Bucky is more of a ladies man than I am. i just want to wait.
Peggy:
For what
Steve:
for the right person.
They arrive to a library, where the owner shows up
Owner:
Welcome, it is a nice day it is?, how can i help you?
Peggy:
We're here about an antique book. The one that requires private viewing.
Owner:
Which book is that dear?
Peggy:
Ab Urbe Condita Libri, by Livy
Owner:
Coming right up.
The owner presses a bottom which reveals a secret room behind a shelf of books, and they enter. As they go down some stairs, they see the machine that Steve will be put in. Steve meets up with Erskine and meets Howard Stark.
Erskine:
Steve, glad to see you
Steve:
Same here
Erskine:
This is Howard Stark.
Howard:
Nice to meet you Steve
Meanwhile on the top floor Phillips meets with the Senator and prepare to see the experiment.
Senator:
This better work Phillips, we've been waiting too long for this.
Phillips:
Agreed.
Senator:
And give that guy a sandwich..
Back with Erskine, he grabs a microphone, as Steve lays on the machine.
Erskine:
Ladies and gentlemen, today we take not another step towards annihilation, but the first step on the path to peace. We begin with a series of micro injections into the subjects major muscle groups. The serum infusion will cause immediate cellular change. And then to stimulate growth, the subject will be saturated with vita rays.
Some of the scientist put the super soldier serum on the device Steve receives the first injection to begin the procedure to change him to a super-soldier, penicillin. Then he's injected with the serum.
Erskine:
Stark to turn on the machine,
The capsule closes in with Rogers inside. Erskine knocks at the capsule
Erskine:
Can you hear me?
Steven:
It is too late to go to the bathroom?
Stark grabs and moves a hand wheel in device connected to the capsule to the right, as Steve is being exposed to the vita rays, he screams.
Peggy:
Steve!
He keeps screaming.
Peggy Carter:
Shut it down!
Erskine knocks frantically on the capsule
Abraham Erskine:
Steven!
Peggy Carter:
Shut it down!
Abraham Erskine:
Kill the reactor, Mr. Stark! Kill the reactor!
Steve Rogers:
No! Don't! I can do this!
Erskine looks at Howard
Erskine:
Keep going Stark.
Then Stark moves the hand wheel a bit more. And the machine turns off. And it opens revealing a muscular Steve. Peggy walks next to him
Peggy Carter:
How do you feel?
Steve Rogers:
Taller.
Peggy Carter:
You look taller.
As most of the people in the top floor are glad with the result
Senator:
Our friends on Germany will not happy.
They turn to go down to check on Steve. One of those guy leaves something in his chair. As Steve is putting his shirt on and everyone admires at this achievement, the Senator hand shakes Erskine.
Senator:
Congratulations gentlemen.
Erskine:
Thank you sir.
The guy grabs a device and donates it, causing an explosion, it's an HYDRA agent named Heinz Kruger, and he grabs a remaining bottle of Super Soldier Serum and shoots, shooting Erskine in the process.
Phillips:
It's a Nazi, stop him
Kruger escapes, the owenr of the library grabs a gun, but is shot by Kruger, Steve goes to check on Erskine,
Steve:
Erskine!
Without words, Erskine puts his finger at Steve heart, reminding him to be a good man Erskine than dies. to Steve own fury. Kruger gets inside his car, as his driver drives away and he kills anyone chasing him, Peggy goes outside and from behind kills the driver. Kruger pulls the body out of the car and takes command of his car and tries to run over Peggy, but Steve puts her out of the way
Peggy:
I almost had him!
Steve:
I dont think so,
Steve gets up he goes after Kruger. running in feet, fast as he can. Steve manages to catch up with the car and he jumps on the top of the car, Kruger tries to shot him, Kruger Car crashes into a fruit stand. Steve falls off the car.
Kruger:
Why is there always a fruit stand?
Kruger gets out of the car after crashing into the stand and manages to slip away. He goes into a river where his submariner is at, but Steve dives underwater, opens the capsule then hegrabs and pulls him away back on land, but dropping the serum to the ground, breaking the tube. Kruger grabs a cyanide pill
Steve:
Who are you?
Kruger:
The first of many. Cut off one head and two more shall take its place. HAIL HYDRA!
Then he dies. Back at HYDRA HQ. Some Nazis are sent to check on Schmidt progress on his weapons, when talking to him.
Nazi:
Hitler had enough Patience Schmidt. he gave this base for a reason, he wants to know the progress of the suppliments.
Schmidt:
Come with me.
the Nazis follow Schmidt to the HYDRA lab, which is full of weaponry, even the giant armors they are building, using Jetfire tech.
Schmidt:
There here are some giant armors that we have made and these are some weapons that we made. All are reversed engineered from Alien technology. All of this will bring an end to my enemies and I am working on more.
Nazi:
Alien tech?, forgive me, as amazing your work is so far, Do you know how crazy this sounds?
Schmidt ignores the comment and then actives one of his weapons powered by the tesseract.
Schmidt:
I have harnessed the power of the gods. with this, we no longer need Hitler.
And disintegrates a nearby object. then he points at the soldiers
Nazi:
Wait are you going too? We better go warn Hitler.
Schmidt disintegrates all of the present Nazis.
Schmidt:
We will no longer be in Hitler shadow anymore. HYDRA is its own faction now, Hail Hydra
Hydra troops:
HAIL HYDRA!
Schmidt looks at Zola, who's horrified at what he saw, then he looks at Schmidt
Zola:
Hail Hydra!
Date: March 24, 1942.
Steve is treated with some injections as they take some of his blood sample, with Peggy supervising.
Peggy:
Any hope of recreating the serum remains in your genetic code, but without Erskine it will take years.
Steve:
Erskine deserved more than this,
Peggy:
if it only worked once, Erskine would be glad that it worked on you.
Meanwhile Howard Stark, the Senator and Phillips are investigating the submarine Kruger tried to escape on.
Phillips:
Can anyone tell me how the heck a double agent was able to get into our noses without noticing.
Howard Stark while investigating the submariner
Stark:
I'm not sure but the tech used here is superior to any anything I've ever seen. HYDRA must have some kind of superior technology or scientists,
Senator:
what is HYDRA?
Peggy Carter:
Hydra is the Nazi deep science division. It's led by Johann Schmidt. But he has much bigger ambitions.
Phillips:
Hydra's practically a cult. They worship Schmidt, they think he's invincible.
The Senator:
what they will do,
Phillips:
I spoke to Roosevelt this morning and that the SSR will be retasked to stop HYDRA.
Steve:
I want to go
Philips:
No, you're too valuable
Senator:
If you wants to serve his nation than he can. Speaking of which, Steve, I have a promotion for you.
Steve:
Thank you sir.
Senator:
You'll be a propaganda tool.
Steve gives a dumbfounded look. Within weeks Steve is touring the world preforming campaigns and shows. The events range from talks to fake fights. Steve is even forced to collect scrap metal, something he loathes.
Date: April 10, 1944.
in the battlefield, we many soldiers, both german and allied firing at each other and some try to take cover in the forest we see Bucky Barnes, Dum Dum Dugan, Jim Morita, Montgomery Falsworth, Gabriel Jones, Jacques Dernier and other soldiers shooting at the enemies as they take cover.
Jones:
Behind you!
Bucky returns fire, as multiple explosions occur
Dugan:
I hate these guys!
they keep shooting at the Nazis, but then the Nazis are desintegraded. the shock of the Allies.
Bucky:
The Hell?
All is calm, they slowly get out of their hiding, then we see a giant Hydra tank approching towards them
Date: April 13, 1944
Location: Italy
Steve is addressing a crowd of soldiers in Italy dressed in his super-hero costume
Steve Rogers:
How many of you ready to help me sock old Adolf on the jaw?
silence from the crowd of soldiers
Steve Rogers:
Okay. Uh...I need in volunteer?
Army Heckler #1:
I already volunteered! How do you think I got here?
the crowd of soldiers laugh
Army Heckler#1:
Bring back the girls!
there's a cheer from the soldiers
Steve Rogers:
I think they only know the one song. But um...let me...I'll...I'll see what I can do.
Army Heckler#1:
You do that, sweetheart.
Army Heckler#2:
Nice boots, Tinker Bell!
the crowd of soldiers laugh
Steve Rogers:
Come on, guys. We're all on the same team here.
Army Heckler#3:
Hey, Captain! Sign this!
he stands turns and pulls his pants down, Steve simply leaves in disgust. Steve goes to sit outside in the rain. Then Peggy shows up
Steve:
Why are you here?
Peggy:
Officially I'm not here at all. So how are you?
Steve:
Aside from doing this stuff I'm fine. At least the senator has me doing this. otherwise Phillips would have me be stuck in lab.
Peggy:
And these are your only two options? A lab rat or a dancing monkey? You were meant for more than this, you know?
Steve:
I know. You know what's ironic. For the longest time I dreamed about coming overseas and be on the front lines. Serving my country. I finally get everything I wanted, and I'm wearing tights.
Then they see some injured men being brought for medical attention
Steve:
Must be rough out there.
Peggy:
Schmidt sent out a force to Rosano. Two hundred men went up against him and less than fifty returned. Your audience contained what was left of the one-oh-seventh. The rest were killed or captured.
Steve:
Did you say the one-h-seventh?
Peggy:
Yeah why.
Steve ignores her and rushes to Phillips office.
Steve:
Sir, I need the casualty list for Rosano.
Phillips:
You doesn't give me orders.
Steve:
I just need one name. Sergeant James Barnes from the hundred and seventh. I just want to know if he's alive or not.
Phillips:
I have signed more of these condolence letters today than I would care to count. But the name does sound familiar. I'm sorry.
Steve:
What about the others? Are you planning a rescue mission?
Phillis:
yes, it's to win the war.
Steve:
But if you know where they are, why not at least...?
Phillips:
They're thirty 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.
Steve:
I do understand.
Phillips:
Well then understand it somewhere else. If I read the posters correctly, you got some place to be in thirty minutes.
As Phillips walks away Steve looks at the military map which shows where the men are, Steve determined to save his friend packs his stuff, as he speaks with Peggy
Peggy:
how will you get into the base, just walk like nothing?
Steve:
If that's what it takes.
Peggy:
He might be dead
Steve:
We don't know that.
Peggy:
Steve, the Colonel is devising a strategy to take
Steve:
by then it probably will be late. You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?
Peggy:
Every word.
Steve:
Then you got to let me go.
Peggy:
I can do more than that
Later we see them on a plane piloted by Stark, nearby the HYDRA base.
Steve Rogers:
You know, you two are gonna be in a lot of trouble at the lab.
Peggy Carter:
And you won't?
Steve Rogers:
Where I'm goin', if anybody yells at me I can just shoot 'em.
Peggy Carter:
They will undoubtedly shoot back.
Steve Rogers:
Well, let's hope it's good for somethin'.
Stark:
You do realize that this is probably insane right?
Steve:
Probably but we don't really have a choice.
Peggy:
Guys, we got company.
Steve and Stark:
Crap
The plane is attacked. Steve opens the door of the plane intending to jump off right now,
Peggy:
Steve you can't jump yet.
Steve:
Get the heck outta here.
Peggy:
You cannt give me orders!
Steve:
The heck I can! I'm a captain!
then he jumps off. Meanwhile we see the soldiers being put back in their cells after they do some slave work for HYDRA. meanwhile Steve infiltrates the base, he enters in the place where the develop the weapons, he looks at one with a small glowing bit sticking out and grabs it, perhaps Stark can study the blue thing. Then he spots a deactivated giant armor. But then he goes to find the place where the soldiers are being held at. inside we see Dum Dum and his team being put back in Cell. then Cap shows up and kicks the guard ass. to the suprise of the soldiers.
Soldier:
Who are you?
Steve:
Captain America
Captain America frees the soldiers.
Steve Rogers:
Get out fast and kick their butts. I'll meet you guys in the clearing with anybody else I find.
Gabe Jones:
Wait! You know what you're doin'?
Steve Rogers:
Yeah. I've knocked out Adolf Hitler over two hundred times.
Who begin to cause havoc on the hydra bases, Schmindt looks from his video camera the havoc being caused. He activates the self-destruct device.
Zola:
What are you doing?
Schmidt:
we are outnumbered
Outside the soldiers take some weapons, one of the allies grab one of the HYDRA desintegrators.
Soldier:
How this exactly works?
He fires and desintegrates a HYDRA soldier
Soldier:
Oh motherfu
Then more of the allies take control of some of the HYDRA vehicles and such in order to breakout and defeat their enemies. Dum Dum and Gabe Jones, enter one of the HYDRA tanks, Dum Dum takes control of it
Gabe:
Do you know to drive this
Dum Dum:
it cant be different as a normal tank
He drives, crushing most of the HYDRA vehicles and soldiers in his sight. Then Cap goes to find Bucky, but in the same he discovers Zola trying to escape.
Steve:
Hold it right there
Zola ignores him. Steve goes to chase him but hears Bucky groaning, he finds him in an experiment table. And helps him out, but then he looks at a map which points at other Hydra bases. As they escape.
Bucky:
Who are you?
Steve:
It's me Steve
Bucky:
Steve? But…..
he unstraps him from the chair
James Barnes:
Steve!
Steve Rogers:
Come on.
James Barnes:
Steve.
Steve Rogers:
I thought you were dead.
James Barnes:
I thought you were smaller. What happened to you?
Steve Rogers:
I joined the army!
James Barnes:
Did it hurt?
Steve Rogers:
A little.
James Barnes:
Is it permanent?
Steve Rogers:
So far
the base begins to self-destruct, they try to find a way to escape, they meet with Schmidt. who's about to escape. Schmidt looks at Cap.
Johann Schmidt:
Captain America! How exciting! i saw the films you've made over the years. So Dr. Erskine managed it after all. Not exactly an improvement, but still impressive.
Steve punches Schmidt hard in the face
Steve Rogers:
You got no idea.
Johann Schmidt:
Haven't I!
he goes to hit Steve but Steve protects himself with his shield but before the battle can continue, Zola pulls a lever, disconnecting the floors both Steve and Schmidt are, separating them.
Schmidt:
No matter what lies Erskine told you, you see I was his greatest success!
Schmidt peels off the skin on his face to reveal a Red Skull on his head, Shocking both Steve and Bucky. Bucky looks at Steve
James Barnes:
You don't have one of those, do you?
Schmidt:
You are deluded, Captain. You pretend to be a simple soldier, but in reality you are just afraid to admit that we have left humanity behind. Unlike you, I embrace it proudly. Without fear!
Steve Rogers:
Then how come you're running?
Schmidt and Zola silently enter an elevator in order to escape the base, so the base begins to fall apart, so Steve see an piece of debris handing from the place they are to where the exit is, Bucky passes thru it, but before Steve can it breaks apart.
Steve:
Bucky leave without me.
Bucky:
No
Steve sighs and jumps very high. as the flames engulf the base.
Date: April 15, 1944
In Phillips office, we see him seapking with Carter, regarding Cap status.
Philips:
No sign of Cap yet?
Carter:
No sir
Philips:
I fear we'll have to label him as dead. *Sigh* I can't touch Stark, he's rich and he's the army's number one weapons contractor. You are neither one!
Peggy Carter:
With respect, sir, I don't regret my actions. And I don't think Captain Rogers did either.
Col. Chester Phillips:
What makes you think I give a damn about your opinions. I took a chance with you, Agent Carter. And now America's golden boy and a lot of other good men are dead, cause you had a crush.
Peggy Carter:
It wasn't that. I had faith.
Col. Chester Phillips:
Well, I hope that's big comfort to you when they shut this division down.
Philips is about to say something else but then he sees the Cap returning with the survivors, bringing many of HYDRA weapons and vehicles. Phillips approches Steve, Steve salutes.
Rogers:
Sir you can reprimand me for my actions
Philips:
For what? You did a good job in saving the lives of the captured soldiers.
he turns and walks away from Steve and he notices Peggy
Col. Chester Phillips:
Faith, huh?
Peggy walks towards Steve
Peggy:
You're Late
Steve simply shows her, his destroyed walkie takie. later that day Stark is studying on the glowing thing that was inside one of the weapons Rogers gave him to him. the glowing bit concealed behind a glass, and Stark controls a pair of robotic arms.
Howard Stark:
Seems harmless enough. Hard to see what all the fuss is about.
Hoawrd gets thrown back, as it explodes after both arms touches it. he slowly gets up
Howard Stark:
Write that down.
Later in the SSR base, they are talking about the secret HYDRA bases and next move of action.
Philips:
Thanks to the Captain intel, we now know the location of several Hydra bases. We'll have to assemble a team to take them out. Captain will be in charge of the team.
Philips than looks at Steve
Phillips:
Pick who you want to be on your team.
Steve:
I'll take Dum Dum Dugan, Jim Morita, Montgomery Falsworth, Gabriel Jones, Jacques Dernier and Bucky for my team.
Philips:
Sounds good.
Then we see later see Steve, talking to his recruits in a bar.
Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan:
So let's get this straight.
Gabe Jones:
We barely got out of there alive and you want us to go back?
Steve Rogers:
Pretty much.
James Montgomery Falsworth:
Sounds rather fun, actually.
before speaking Morita burps
Jim Morita:
I'm in.
Gabe Jones:
Yeah We're in.
Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan:
Hell, I'll always fight. But you gotta do one thing for me.
Steve Rogers:
What's that?
drinks the rest of his beer in his glass in one go
Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan:
Open a tab.
the others laugh and Steve gets up to go to the bar
Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan:
Well, that was easy!
Steve looks at Bucky
Steve Rogers:
You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?
James Barnes:
Hell, no! The little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him. But you're keeping the outfit, right?
Steve Rogers:
You know what? It's kinda grown on me.
James smiles. Steven then gets up
Steve:
Well i need to meet with Stark.
Later we see Howard showing Steve a bunch of shields in a table that he have built for him.
Stark:
Each one of these is made from the best of materials and have been made specificly for you.
Rogers picks up a round silver looking shield, which is a prototype.
Rogers:
What's this one?
Stark:
it's made from Vibranium, a rare metal that comes from Wakanda. It's stronger than steel and a third of the weight. It's completely vibration absorbent.
Rogers:
Can I see if that's true
Stark:
Sure. leave it on that table that is close to wall.
Rogers:
Sure
Rogers leaves it on the table, then Stark shoots at the shield, they look at the shield no holes, the bullets are laying on the table, flat. Steve gives Stark a grin like a kid in a candy store.
Rogers:
I'll take it.
Over the next few months Steve, the Howling Commandos and the SSR destroy various Hydra bases and weapons. Steve runs pass his men like a bat out of hell. They look at him weird and realize that the bomb is going to go off sooner than it's supposed to. They quickly follow him. The troops sneak into a base and destroy it.
A Hydra agent goes into a mess hall of one of the bases. The howling commandos enter through a shaft into the cafeteria. The agent takes one look at captain and runs.
Bucky:
Wonder what that was about
Bucky grabs a sandwich off a lunch stall.
Date: February 10, 1945
Schmidt vents his rage on Zola, as they explore the ruins of a HYDRA base
Johann Schmidt:
You are failing! We are close to and offensive network that will shake the planet. And yet we are continually delayed, because you cannot outwit a simpleton with a shield!
Dr. Arnim Zola:
This is hardly my area of expertise! I...I merely develop the weapons. I...I cannot fire them.
Johann Schmidt:
Finish your mission, doctor. Before the American finishes his.
Date: March 1, 1945.
The Team prepare to attack a HYDRA train, as Falsworth watches them from his binoculars and pots the train
Falsworth:
they're here.
The group is looking down a long and steep zip line they'll have to use in order to land on the train
Bucky:
Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone on Coney Island?
Steve Rogers:
Yeah, and I threw up?
Bucky:
This isn't payback, is it?
Steve is grinning*
Steve:
Now why would I do that?
The group then use the Zip line asthe train approches, the land on the train safely, as they install a bomb, which goes off, as Steve and Bucky inflitrate the train Zola watches them enter thru his security camera and he grabs a microphone
Zola:
Kill them
They hide as they hear footsteps approaching. They see a bunch of Hydra agents.
Hydra agent:
Surrender now and we may spare your life.
Captain America:
Same goes to you.
Hydra Agent:
Then we are at an impasse. Kill them.
The groups start firing at each other. Captain America hurls his shield and takes out several agents at once. One of the guards using Tesseract powered weapons shoots at the wall of the train as Bucky and Steve dodges it, . Bucky grabs Cap's shield and uses the shield to block the weapons fire. He gets knocked out of the train. Bucky hangs onto the side. Cap knocks the HYDRA agent and disables his tesseract powered weapons and goes to save Bucky. but then one of the HYDRA agents outside grabs a regular gun.
Bucky:
Cap look out.
Cap pins him down, but the agent shots, the bullet hits Bucky in his left arm hitting an important nerve on his arm, Bucky falls to a nearby river, Steve goes to check on Bucky, but he's gone.
Steve:
Bucky!
He sees him fall, as he mourns the death of his friend. Meanwhile the other of the Howling Commandos manage to break into the control room and capture Zola.
Date: March 2, 1945.
Zola is in the SSR custody. Phillips enters the room to speak to him, Zola is uncomfortable.
Zola:
So are you here to execute me or something worse?
Philips:
No, I just want to talk.
Zola:
About what?
Phillips:
I want to know what Schmidt is planning, You aren't like other HYDRA agents, you didn't carried a cyanide pill, every other agent bit the pill before we could capture them, so does that mean you wants to live?.
Zola:
You're trying to intimidate me?,
Phillips passes him a piece of paper
Phillips:
Read it loud.
Zola:
Given the variable information he has provided, and in exchange for his full cooperation, Dr. Zola is being remanded to Switzerland,
Phillips:
I sent that message to Washington this morning. Of course it was encoded. You guys haven't broken those codes, have you? That would be awkward.
Zola:
Schmidt will know it's a lie,
Phillips:
He's gunna kill you anyway, doc. You're a liability. You know more about Schmidt than anyone. And the last guy you cost us was Captain Roger's closest friend. So, I wouldn't count on the very best of protection. There's you, or Schmidt. It's just the hand you've been dealt.
Zola:
Schmidt thinks he walks in the footsteps of the Gods, only the world itself will satisfy him,
Phillips:
this is nuts.
Zola:
But the sanity of the plan is of no consequence.
Phillips:
why
Zola:
because he can do it,
Phillips:
what's Schmidt Target,
Zola:
it's the entire world. He wants to make it burn and make everyone his slave.
Phillips eyes wide open, meanwhile at the Hydra HQ, Schmidt gives a speech to his followers.
Schmidt:
Tomorrow, Hydra will stand master of the world. Born to victory on the wings of the Valkyrie. Our enemy's weapons will be powerless against us. If they shoot down one plane, hundreds more will rain fire upon them! If they cut off one head, two more shall take its place. Hail Hydra!
Hydra soldiers:
Hail Hydra!
Steve is at a bar trying to drink his sorrows, he's gone into depressesion due to the death of Bucky, Peggy goes to check on him
Steve:
Dr. Erskine said that the serum wouldn't just effect my muscles, it would affect my cells. Create a protective system of regeneration and healing. Which means um...I can't get drunk. *Sigh* Bucky was the only person there for me throughout the good times and the bad. He even once said that he was with me till the end.
Peggy:
It wasn't your fault.
Steve Rogers:
Did you read the reports?
Peggy Carter:
Yes.
Steve Rogers:
Then you know that's not true.
Peggy:
You did everything you could, you should stop blaiming yourself and Allow Barnes the dignity of his choice. He damn well must have thought you were worth it.
Steve:
I'm going after Schmidt and I will not rest until Hydra is gone.
the team prepare a battle plan to take down Red Skull at his headquarters
Col. Chester Phillips:
Johann Schmidt belongs in a bug house. He thinks he's a God. He's willing to blow half the world prove it, starting with the U.S.A.
Howard Stark:
Schmidt's working with powers beyond our capabilities. He gets across the Atlantic, he will wipe out the entire eastern sea board in an hour.
Gabe Jones:
How much time we got?
Col. Chester Phillips:
According to my new best friend, twenty four hours. Hydra's last base is here.
holding a photo he points to the base
Col. Chester Phillips:
In the Alps. Five hundred feet below the surface.
Jim Morita:
So, what are we supposed to do. I mean, it's not like we can just knock on the front door.
Steve Rogers:
Why not? That's exactly what we're gonna do.
Date: March 3, 1945.
The SSR puts Steve's plan into action. Steve rides into the base alone on his motorcycle. Multiple HYDRA soldiers on motorcycles ride behind him, planning to kill him. Steve defeats them with weapon systems made into his motorcycle. Steve dodged the attacks of a tank that was set up in front of the base and then rides over the wall that protects the base. He defeats many of soldiers in the outer area of the base. And hops off his motorcycle, which explodes on a metal door. Steve continues to fight the soldiers, but is eventually subdued when many of them arrive with flame throwers and many others arrive with guns. Steve is then taken prisoner and taken to Johann Schmidt.
Schmidt:
Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait, but I must say you do it better than anyone. But there are limits to what even you can do, Captain. Or did Erskine tell you otherwise?
Steve Rogers:
He told me you were insane.
Johann Schmidt:
Ah. He resented my genius and tried to deny me what was rightfully mine. But he gave you everything. So, what made you so special?
Steve Rogers:
Nothin'. I'm just a kid from Brooklyn.
This angers Schmidt and he punches Steve until he becomes calm again.
Steve:
I can do this all day.
Johann Schmidt:
Oh, of course you can. Of course. But unfortunately I am on a tight schedule.
Schmidt takes out his cube-energy pistol and points it at Steve
Steve Rogers: So am I!
Before Schmidt can shoot Steve in the head, the Howling Commandos break into the room, thru the glass, Schmidt runs from the chaos while his soldiers fight the commandos. Steve runs after him. meanwhile the entire SSR begins an assault on the base using some of HYDRA weapons that were retrivied.
HYDRA Soldier:
Cut off one head, two more shall...
Col. Chester Phillips blows him away
Phillips:
Let's go find two more!
Agents from both sides fire at eachother. Missiles and bullets fly as soldiers and agents drop dead. Schmidt tries to kill many of the soldiers as he tries to escape. When Steve eventually catches up to Schmidt, he throws his shield at him, but it gets stuck in a doorway. Steve tries to get it out, but a HYDRA soldier with a flame thrower tries to attack him, so Steve hides to protect himself. Peggy Carter runs up behind the soldier and shoots his flame thrower, killing him.
Steve:
Your late.
Peggy:
He's getting away
Steven:
Oh right!
Steve gets his shield and continues to run after Schmidt.
Schmidt:
Get inside our biggest drone.
One of the Hydra agents, get inside their biggest armors so far and activates it. Steve while chasing Schmidt passes by a giant black transformer, Jetfire, he stares at it in awe. But a noise gets his attention, he goes to check and it's a giant armor.
Steven:
What the?
Cap evades the robot. who smashes its fit on the ground, Steve grabs a nearby gun and shoots at the robot. The agent laughs as the bullets bounce off the drone. Steve looks at some nearby explosives and tosses them at the armor, only for the automaton to swat it aside. As luck would have it, the satchel blows open the Cryo-containment chamber holding Jetfire, Jetfire wakes up. Sickened by the robot, Jetfire drives his fist through the HYDRA robot, tearing out its human components and causing it to drop to the floor, deactivated. Jetfire then turns to look at cap
Jetfire:
how can your own kind could do so monstrous a thing.
Steve:
What the heck are you?!
Jetfire:
Sorry, i have no time to stay here around, i've been in slumber for so long, i have a mission to accomplish.
Jetfire breaks thru the walls, transforms and goes to continue with his mission of finding the Star Harvester, the Matrix and destroy them before his master can get a hold of them. Steve still looks at awe.
Steven:
What the heck did i just saw?.
Schmidt boards the Valkyrie, inserting the Tesseract in a tube on a machine in the center of the ship. Along with many soldiers. Steve runs through the battle to get to the Valkyrie and stop Schmidt from bombing cities all over the world. He fails to catch up, but Chester Phillips and Peggy Carter arrive in Schmidt's car.
Phillips:
Get on!
Steve leaps into the car, As they help him to reach the ship. Before it lifts up and gets away, just as Steve is about to leap from the roadster onto Schmidt's plane Peggy stops him
Peggy Carter:
Wait!
she kisses him
Peggy Carter:

Steve knocks Schmidt into the ships controls, making the ship freely fall. During the battle, they keep punching at each other, thenn Steve and Schmidt manages to get the ship back into a normal flight path. Schmidt shoots at Steve, but he throws his shield at him and he flew into the Tesseract capsule breaking the capsule. the cube begins to protect itself as it glows more futher and more energy coming out from it.
Schmidt:
What have you done?!
Schmidt grabs the Tesseract with his ungloved hand, and a portal through a void opens, Schmidt ends up being disintegrated as he's pulled into the portal, The Tesseract then melts a small hole out of the plane and falls into the ocean. Steve begins to pilot the plane and tries to fly it out of its current path to destroy New York City. Steve uses the ships intercom to call the HYDRA Headquarters, which is now controlled by the SSR. Peggy Carter uses the bases intercom and talks to Steve.
Peggy Carter:
Steve, is that you? Are you alright?
Steve Rogers:
Peggy! Schmidt's dead.
Peggy Carter:
What about the plane?
Steve Rogers:
That's a little bit tougher to explain.
Peggy Carter:
Give me your coordinates, I'll find you a safe landing site.
Steve Rogers:
There's not going to be a safe landing. But I can try and force it down.
Peggy Carter:
I'll get Howard on the line, he'll know what to do.
Steve Rogers:
There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast and it's heading for New York. I gotta put her in the water.
Peggy:
Please tell me your kidding? dont do this We have time. We can work it out.
Steve:
I'm sorry but no I'm not kidding. Right now I'm in the middle of nowhere. If I wait any longer a lot of people are gonna die. Peggy, this is my choice.
He descends the ship down, and as he does he and Peggy speak to each other as if Steve wasn't going to crash.
Steve:

POST-CREDIT SCENE #2:
Date: November 3, 2010.
We see Coulson walking around San Francisco trying to find the address he's been given by someone under the code name "Fire Dragon." He looks a bit confused as he finally sees a building that has a statue of a winger monster with the plaque under it that says "Age of Monsters memorial house founded by Dr. Kyohei Yamane." He enters in the building seeing exhibits of different time periods of monster attacks and how they impacted the world. Coulson Notices a display of a ruined Tokyo with a metal statue of Godzilla using his atomic breath at the jets. Coulson looks stunned.
Coulson: Wait...Is that?
A woman of Japanese descent goes up to him.
The woman:
Yes its him, Many people think of him as a fictional character, due to the movies, but they tend to forget he was based off a real event
Coulson looks at her
Coulson: Yeah, agreed, i saw the files about him... and you are?
Emiko:
I forgot my manners. I'm Dr. Yamane's daughter Emiko.
Coulson Looks a little surprised.
Coulson:
Oh well. It's an honor to meet you.
they shake hands,
Coulson:
Your father was talked about often back at where I'm from.
Emiko:
I can imagine that. My Husband did say that Shield does mention him a lot when it comes to Kaiju history making an impact on the organization Mr. Coulson. I think it's best we talk more at my office.
Later on in the office.
Emiko:
Anyway I can tell you're wondering who sent you that text about coming here from "Fire Dragon."
Coulson looks suspicious.
Coulson:
I did and I'm betting you're this "Fire Dragon"?
Emiko:
Correct... I didn't want to resort to doing this but I had to since my husband has his plates full with the heads of Monarch and how they're keeping a tighter grip on our...findings...
Coulson:
What findings?
Emiko:
This.
then she shows him a video on a huge screen about a giant MUTOs Egg that's inside a cave with dozens of scientists examining it. Coulson is Shocked
Coulson:
What in the name of-What is this?!
Emiko:
A warning...I beg you to report this to Nick Fury and tell him of what the mistake Monarch is going to do ...I'm afraid that history will again repeat itself.
