Captain America: The First Avenger/Transcript

[In Frozen Tundra]
Man 1: Are you the guys from Washington?
Man 2: You get many other visitors out here?
Man 3: How long you been on-site?
Man 1: Since this morning. A Russian oil team called it in about 18 hours ago.
Man 2: How come nobody spotted it before?
Man 1: It's really not that surprising. This landscape's changing all the time. You got any idea what this thing is exactly?
Man 3: I don't know. It's probably a weather balloon.
Man 2: I don't think so.
Man 1: You know, we don't have the equipment for a job like this.
Man 2: How long before we can start craning it out?
Man 1: I don't think you quite understand. You guys are gonna need one hell of a crane.
Man 2: [Men 2 and 3 rappel into ship] Base, we're in. 
Man 3: What is this? 
Man 2: Careful... [Wipes snow off object] Lieutenant!
Man 3: What is it? ...My God.
Man 2: Base, get me a line to the Colonel.
[Over Radio] Man 1: It's 3:00 a.m., sir.
Man 2: I don't care what time it is. This one's waited long enough.
[Small Town Of Tonsburg, Norway, 1942]
[In Norwegian] Man 1: They've come for it.
[In Norwegian] Man 2: They have before. 
[In Norwegian] Man 1: Not like this. 
[In Norwegian] Man 2: Let them come. They'll never find it. [Wall is demolished by military and Man 1 is k*lled while Red Skull pulls up in car] 
Commander: [Addressing men surrounding stone coffin] Open it! Quickly, before he...
Red Skull: [Addressing Man 2] It has taken me a long time to find this place. You should be commended. [Addressing lackey] Help him up. [Addressing Man 2] I think that you are a man of great vision. And, in this way, we are much alike.
Man 2: I am nothing like you.
Red Skull: No, of course, but what others see as superstition, you and I know to be a science.
Man 2: What you seek is just a legend.
Red Skull: Then why make such an effort to conceal it? [Removes lid of coffin and pulls out opaque cube] The Tesseract was the jewel of Odin's treasure room. It is not something one buries. But I think it is close, yes?
Man 2: I cannot help you.
Red Skull: No. But maybe you can help your village. You must have some friends out there. Some little grandchildren, perhaps? I have no need for them to die. Yggdrasil. Tree of the world. Guardian of wisdom. And fate, also.
And the F�hrer digs for trinkets in the desert.
You have never seen this, have you?
It's not for the eyes of ordinary men.
Exactly.
Give the order to open fire.
Fool!
You cannot control the power you hold.
You will burn!
I already have.
Examiner: O'Connell, Michael.
Examiner: Kaminsky, Henry.
Steve: Boy, a lot of guys getting k*ll over there.
Examiner: Rogers, Steven.
Recruit: It kind of makes you think twice about enlisting, huh?
Steve: Nope.
Examiner: Rogers... What did your father die of? 
Steve: Mustard gas. He was in the 107th Infantry. I was hoping I could be assigned...
Examiner: Your mother? 
Steve: She was a nurse in a TB ward. Got hit. Couldn't shake it.
Examiner: Sorry, son. 
Steve: Look, just give me a chance.
Examiner: You'd be ineligible on your asthma alone.
Steve: Is there anything you can do?
Examiner: I'm doing it. I'm saving your life.
[In Theater]
[On-Screen] Narrator: W*r continues to ravage Europe. But help is on the way. Every able-bodied young man is lining up to serve his country. Even little Timmy is doing his part collecting scrap metal. Nice work, Timmy!
[In Audience] Man: Who cares? Play the movie already!
Steve: Hey, you wanna show some respect?
[On-Screen] Narrator: Meanwhile, overseas, our brave boys are showing the Axis powers that the price of freedom is never too high.
Man: Let's go! Get on with it! Hey, just start the cartoon!
Steve: Hey, you wanna shut up?
[On-Screen] Narrator: Together with Allied forces, we'll face any threat, no matter the size.
[In Alleyway Outside]
Man: You just don't know when to give up, do you?
Steve: I can do this all day.
Bucky: Hey! Pick on someone your own size. [Addressing Steve] Sometimes I think you like getting punched.
Steve: I had him on the ropes.
Bucky: [Looking at enlistment file] How many times is this? You're from Paramus now? You know it's illegal to lie on the enlistment form. And seriously, Jersey?
Steve: You get your orders?
Bucky: The 107th. Sergeant James Barnes, shipping out for England first thing tomorrow.
Steve: I should be going.
Bucky: Come on, man. My last night! I got to get you cleaned up.
Steve: Why? Where are we going?
Bucky: The future.
[At Stark Expo]
Bucky: I don't see what the problem is. You're about to be the last eligible man in New York. You know there's three and a half million women here?
Steve: Well, I'd settle for just one.
Bucky: [Waving to girl] Good thing I took care of that.
Girl 1: Hey, Bucky!
Steve: What'd you tell her about me?
Bucky: Only the good stuff.
Announcer: Welcome to the Modern Marvels Pavilion and the World of Tomorrow. A greater world. A better world.
Girl 1: Oh, my God! It's starting!
[Onstage] Lady: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Howard Stark!
[In Crowd] Fan: I love you, Howard!
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? Yes. Thanks, Mandy. With Stark Gravitic Reversion Technology you'll be able to do just that.
Bucky: Holy cow.
Stark: [Flying car malfunctions] I did say a few years, didn't I?
Bucky: Hey, Steve, what do you say we treat these girls... [Turns around to find Steve gone]
[At Fair Enlistment Center]
Woman: Come on, soldier. [Pulls man away]
Bucky: [Coming up behind Steve] Come on. You're kind of missing the point of a double date. We're taking the girls dancing.
Steve: You go ahead. I'll catch up with you.
Bucky: You're really going to do this again?
Steve: Well, it's a fair. I'm gonna try my luck.
Bucky: As who, Steve from Ohio? They'll catch you. Or worse, they'll actually take you.
Steve: Look, I know you don't think I can do this.
Bucky: This isn't a back alley, Steve. It's w*r.
Steve: I know it's a w*r. 
Bucky: Why are you so keen to fight? There are so many important jobs. 
Steve: What do you want me to do? Collect scrap metal in my little red wagon?
Bucky: Yes. Why not? 
Steve: 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.
Bucky: Right. 'Cause you got nothing to prove.
Girl: Hey, Sarge! Are we going dancing?
Bucky: Yes, we are. [Addressing Steve] Don't do anything stupid until I get back.
Steve: How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you.
Bucky: [Hugs Steve] You're a punk. 
Steve: Jerk. Be careful. [Calling after Bucky] Don't win the w*r till I get there!
Bucky: Come on, girls. They're playing our song.
[In Examination Room]
Doctor: [Nurse whispers in Doctor's ear] Wait here.
Steve: Is there a problem? 
Doctor: Just wait here.
Dr. Erskine: [Addressing Military Police Officer] Thank you. [Addressing Steve] So, you want to go overseas. k*ll some n*zi.
Steve: Excuse me?
Dr. Erskine: Dr. Abraham Erskine. I represent the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
Steve: Steve Rogers. Where are you from?
Dr. Erskine: Queens. 73rd Street and Utopia Parkway. Before that, Germany. This troubles you? 
Steve: No.
Dr. Erskine: Where are you from, Mr. Rogers? Is it New Haven? Or Paramus? Five exams in five different cities.
Steve: That might not be the right file...
Dr. Erskine: No, it's not the exams I'm interested in. It's the five tries. But you didn't answer my question. Do you want to k*ll n*zi?
Steve: Is this a test?
Dr. Erskine: Yes.
Steve: I don't want to k*ll anyone. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.
Dr. Erskine: Well, there are already so many big men fighting this w*r. Maybe what we need now is a little guy. I can offer you a chance. Only a chance.
Steve: I'll take it. 
Dr. Erskine: Good. So where is the little guy from? Actually?
Steve: Brooklyn.
Dr. Erskine: Congratulations, soldier.
[In Dr. Schmidt's Laboratory] 
Red Skull: Are you ready, Dr. Zola?
Dr. Schmidt: My machine requires the most delicate calibration. Forgive me if I seem overcautious. 
Red Skull: Are you certain that those conductors of yours can withstand the energy surge long enough for transference?
Dr. Schmidt: With this artifact I am certain of nothing. I fear it may not work at all. [Inserts tesseract into machine] Twenty percent. Forty. Sixty. Stabilizing at 70%.
Red Skull: I have not come all this way for safety, Doctor. [Turns to max and blue lightning flashes through room]
Dr. Schmidt: What was that?
Red Skull: [Looking at product] I must congratulate you, Arnim. Your designs do not disappoint. Though they may require some slight reinforcement.
Dr. Schmidt: The exchange is stable. Amazing...! The energy we have just collected could power my designs. All my designs. This will change the w*r.
Red Skull: Dr. Zola, this will change... the world.
[In Military Training Grounds]
[In Distance] Trainer: Ready, exercise!
Peggy Carter: Recruits, attention! Gentlemen, I am Agent Carter. I supervise all operations for this division.
Hodge: What's with the accent, Queen Victoria? I thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army.
Peggy: What's your name, soldier?
Hodge: Gilmore Hodge, Your Majesty.
Peggy: Step forward, Hodge. Put your right foot forward.
Hodge: We gonna wrassle? 'Cause I got a few moves I know you'll like. [Peggy decks him]
Colonel Phillips: Agent Carter!
Peggy: Colonel Phillips.
Colonel Phillips: I can see that you are breaking in the candidates. That's good! [Addressing Hodge] Get your ass up out of that dirt and stand in that line at attention till somebody comes tells you what to do.
Hodge: Yes, sir!
Colonel Phillips: General Patton has said that wars are fought with w*apons, but they are won by men. We are going to win this w*r because we have the best men. [Looks at Steve] And because they are going to get better. Much better. 
[Training Montage]
Colonel Phillips: 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.
Trainer: [Steve falls backwards on net] Rogers! Get off of there!
Colonel Phillips: At the end of this week, we will choose that man. He will be the first in a new breed of super-soldier.
Trainer: [Barbed wire falls on Steve while he's army-crawling] Rogers! Get that r*fle out of the mud!
Colonel Phillips: And they will personally escort Adolf h*tler to the gates of hell.
Trainer: Pick up the pace, ladies! Let's go, let's go! Double time! Come on! Faster! Faster! Move! Move! Squad, halt! That flag means we're only at the halfway point. First man to bring it to me gets a ride back with Agent Carter. Move, move! [Recruits scramble to climb up flagpole] Come on! Get up there! If that's all you got, this army's in trouble! Get up there, Hodge! [Hodge falls back down] Come on! Get up there! Nobody's got that flag in 17 years! Now fall back into line! Come on, fall in! Let's go! Get back into formation! [Steve approaches flagpole] Rogers! I said fall in! [Takes out pin in flagpole to make it fall]
Steve: [Hands trainer flag] Thank you, sir. [Gets in car]
[In A Different Section Of Camp]
Peggy: [Recruits are doing pushups] Faster, ladies! Come on. My grandmother has more life in her, God rest her soul. Move it!
Colonel Phillips: You're not really thinking about picking Rogers, are you?
Dr. Erskine: I'm more than just thinking about it. He is the clear choice.
Colonel Phillips: When you brought a 90-pound asthmatic onto my army base, I let it slide. I thought, "What the hell." Maybe he'd be useful to you, like a gerbil. I never thought you'd pick him.
Peggy: Up. [Recruits begin jumping jacks]
Colonel Phillips: You stick a needle in that kid's arm, it's gonna go right through him.
Peggy: Come on, girls. 
Colonel Phillips: Look at that. He's making me cry.
Dr. Erskine: I am looking for qualities beyond the physical.
Colonel Phillips: Do you know how long it took to set up this project? All the groveling I had to do in front of Senator What's-His-Name's committees?
Dr. Erskine: Brandt. Yes, I know. I am well aware of your efforts.
Colonel Phillips: Then throw me a bone. Hodge passed every test we gave him. He's big, he's fast. He obeys orders-- He's a soldier!
Dr. Erskine: He is a bully.
Colonel Phillips: You don't win wars with niceness, Doctor. [Grabs grenade and pulls out pin] You win wars with guts. [Throws grenade towards recruits] Grenade! [Recruits scatter except for Steve, who throws himself on top of it]
Steve: Get away! Get back!
Trainer: It was a dummy grenade. All clear. Back in formation.
Steve: [Addressing Peggy] Is this a test?
Colonel Phillips: He's still skinny.
[In Barracks] 
Dr. Erskine: [In doorway] May I? 
Steve: [Only person in room] Yeah.
Dr. Erskine: Can't sleep?
Steve: I got the jitters, I guess.
Dr. Erskine: Me, too.
Steve: Can I ask you a question?
Dr. Erskine: Just one?
Steve: Why me?
Dr. Erskine: I suppose that is the only question that matters. [Holds up liquor bottle] This is from Augsburg. My city. So many people forget that the first country the n*zi invaded was their own. You know, after the last w*r, my people struggled. They felt weak. They felt small. And then h*tler comes along with the marching and the big show and the flags. And 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 is ambitious. He and h*tler share a passion for occult power and Teutonic myth. h*tler 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 hidden in the earth, left here 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?
Dr. Erskine: Yes. But there were other... effects. The serum was not ready. But more important, 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 may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength. And knows compassion.
Steve: Thanks. ...I think.
Dr. Erskine: [Steve grabs glasses and Dr. Erskine pours two drinks] 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: [Holds up glass for toast] To the little guys.
Dr. Erskine: No, no. Wait, wait. What I am doing? No, you have procedure tomorrow. No fluids.
Steve: All right. We'll drink it after. [Erskine pours Steve's glass into his]
Dr. Erskine: No, I don't have procedure tomorrow. Drink it after? I drink it now. [Drinks entire glass]
[In Dr. Schmidt's Laboratory]
Is there something in particular you need?
I understand you found him.
See for yourself.
You disapprove.
I just don't see why you need concern yourself.
I can't imagine he will succeed.
Again.
His serum is the Allies' only defense against this power we now possess.
If we take it away from them, then our victory is assured.
Shall I give the order?
It has been given.
Good.
Dr. Zola!
What do you think?
A masterpiece.
[Driving Through New York]
Steve: [Addressing Peggy] I know this neighborhood. I got beat up in that alley. And that parking lot. And behind that diner. 
Peggy: Did you have something against running away?
Steve: You start running, they'll never let you stop. You stand up, you push back. They can't say no forever, right?
Peggy: I know a little of what that's like, to have every door shut in your face.
Steve: I guess I just don't know why you'd want to join the Army if you were a beautiful dame. Or a... A woman. An agent. Not a dame. You are beautiful, but...
Peggy: You have no idea how to talk to a woman, do you?
Steve: I think this is the longest conversation I've had with one. Women aren't exactly lining up to dance with a guy they might step on.
Peggy: You must have danced.
Steve: Well, asking a woman to dance always seemed so terrifying. And the past few years, it just didn't seem to matter that much. I figured I'd wait.
Peggy: For what?
Steve: The right partner.
[Outside Shop]
Peggy: [Gets out of car] This way.
Steve: What are we doing here? 
Peggy: [Enters shop] Follow me. 
Worker: Wonderful weather this morning, isn't it?
Peggy: Yes, but I always carry an umbrella. [Peggy and Steve enter secret military facility behind shop] Good morning.
Dr. Erskine: Please, not now. [Addressing Steve] Are you ready? Good. Take off your shirt, your tie, and your hat.
Colonel Phillips: Senator Brandt, glad you could make it.
Senator Brant: Why exactly am I in Brooklyn?
Colonel Phillips: We needed access to the city's power grid. Of course, if you'd given me the generators I requisitioned...
Senator Brant: A lot of people are asking for funds, Colonel.
This is...
Clemson: Fred Clemson, State Department. If this project of yours comes through, we'd like to see it used for something other than headlines.
Jesus. Somebody get that kid a sandwich.
Dr. Erskine: Comfortable?
Steve: It's a little big. You save me any of that schnapps?
Dr. Erskine: Not as much as I should have. Sorry. Next time. Mr. Stark, how are your levels?
Howard Stark: Levels at 100%. 
Dr. Erskine: Good.
Howard Stark: We may dim half the lights in Brooklyn, but we are ready... as we'll ever be.
Dr. Erskine: Agent Carter? Don't you think you would be more comfortable in the booth?
Peggy: Yes, of course. Sorry. 
Dr. Erskine: Do you hear me? Is this on? 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 microinjections into the subject's major muscle groups. The serum infusion will cause immediate cellular change. And then, to stimulate growth, the subject will be saturated with Vita-Rays.
Steve: [After being injected with needle] That wasn't so bad.
Dr. Erskine: That was penicillin. Serum infusion beginning in five... four... three... two... one. [Blue vials are injected into Steve] Now, Mr. Stark. [Table is raised and turned into small chamber which Erskine knocks on] Steven? Can you hear me?
Steve: It's probably too late to go to the bathroom, right?
Dr. Erskine: [Addressing Howard Stark] We will proceed.
Howard Stark: That's ten percent. Twenty percent. Thirty. That's forty percent.
Doctor: Vital signs are normal.
Howard Stark: That's fifty percent. Sixty. Seventy. [Steve begins to yell]
Dr. Erskine: Steven! Steven! 
Peggy: Shut it down! 
Dr. Erskine: Steven!
Peggy: Shut it down!
Dr. Erskine: kill the reactor, Mr. Stark! Turn it off! kill it! kill the reactor!
Steve: No! Don't! I can do this!
Howard Stark: Eighty. Ninety. That's a hundred percent. [Electronics spark and device powers down]
Dr. Erskine: Mr. Stark? [Device opens to reveal transformed Steve] Steven. Steven.
Colonel Phillips: The son of a bitch did it.
Steve: I did it. 
Dr. Erskine: Yeah, yeah. I think we did it.
Howard Stark: You actually did it.
Peggy: How do you feel?
Steve: Taller.
Peggy: You look taller.
How do you like Brooklyn now, Senator?
I can think of some folks in Berlin who are about to get very nervous.
Congratulations, Doctor.
Thank you, sir.
Stop him!
What are you doing? Buddy, are you all right?
Hey, this guy's been sh*t!
I had him!
Sorry!
I'm sorry!
No! No! Not my son!
Stop it! Don't hurt him!
Get back!
Let me go!
Let go of my son!
Don't hurt him!
Wait, don't! Don't!
No! Don't!
Go get him! I can swim!
Who the hell are you? The first of many.
Cut off one head,
two more shall take its place.
Hail Hydra.
The F�hrer is not accustomed to being ignored, Herr Schmidt.
He funds your research because you promised him w*apon.
You serve at his pleasure.
He gave you this facility as a reward for your injuries.
Reward? Call it what it is. Exile.
I no longer reflect his image of Aryan perfection.
You think this is about appearances?
Your Hydra division has failed to deliver so much as a r*fle in over a year.
And we had learned through local intelligence you had mounted a full-scale incursion into Norway.
The F�hrer feels... How does he put it?
"The Red Skull has been indulged long enough!"
Gentlemen,
you have come to see the results of our work.
Let me show you.
h*tler speaks of a 1,000-year Reich, but he cannot feed his armies for a month.
His troops spill their blood across every field in Europe, but still he is no closer to achieving his goals.
And I suppose you still aim to win this w*r through magic?
Science. But I understand your confusion.
Great power has always baffled primitive men.
Hydra is assembling an arsenal to destroy my enemies in one stroke, wherever they are, regardless of how many forces they possess, all in a matter of hours.
Your enemies?
My w*apon contain enough destructive power to decimate every hostile capital on Earth.
Quite simply, gentlemen, I have harnessed the power of the gods.
Thank you, Schmidt.
For what?
For making it clear how obviously mad you are.
Berlin is on this map!
So it is.
You will be punished for your insolence!
You will be brought before the F�hrer himself!
Schmidt...
My apologies, Doctor, but we both knew Hydra could grow no further in h*tler's shadow.
Hail Hydra.
Hail Hydra!
Hail Hydra!
Think you got enough?
Any hope of reproducing the program is locked in your genetic code.
But without Dr. Erskine, it would take years.
He deserved more than this.
If it could work only once, he'd be proud it was you.
Colonel Phillips, my committee is demanding answers.
Great. Why don't we start with how a German spy got a ride to my secret installation in your car?
What have we got here?
Speaking modestly, 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.
Then who is? Hydra.
I'm sure you've been reading our briefings.
I'm on a number of committees, Colonel.
Hydra is the n*zi deep-science division.
It's led by Johann Schmidt. But he has much bigger ambitions.
Hydra is practically a cult.
They worship Schmidt. They think he's invincible.
So, what are you going to do about it?
I spoke to the President this morning.
As of today, the SSR is being retasked. Colonel?
We are taking the fight to Hydra. Pack your bags, Agent Carter.
You, too, Stark.
We're flying to London tonight.
Sir? If you're going after Schmidt, I want in.
You're an experiment. You're going to Alamogordo.
The serum worked.
I asked for an army and all I got was you.
You are not enough.
With all due respect to the Colonel, I think we may be missing the point.
I've seen you in action, Steve. More importantly, the country's seen it.
Paper.
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.
Son, do you want to serve your country on the most important battlefield of the w*r?
Sir, that's all I want.
Then, congratulations. You just got promoted.
I don't know if I can do this.
Nothing to it. You sell a few bonds. Bonds buy b*ll*ts. b*ll*ts k*ll n*zi.
You're an American hero.
It's just not how I pictured getting there.
The Senator has got a lot of pull up on the Hill.
You play ball with us, you'll be leading your own platoon in no time.
Take the shield.
Go.
Who's strong and brave Here to save the American way?
Not all of us can storm a beach or drive a t*nk.
But there's still a way all of us can fight.
Who vows to fight like a man For what's right, night and day?
Series E Defense Bonds.
Each one you buy is a b*llet in the barrel of your best guy's g*n.
Who will campaign door-to-door for America?
Carry the flag shore to shore for America?
From Hoboken to Spokane The star-spangled man with a plan
Cut. Guys, don't look at the camera.
We can't ignore there's a threat and a w*r we must win Each one you buy is a b*llet in the barrel of your best guy's g*n.
Who'll hang a noose on the goose-stepping g*ons from Berlin?
Who will redeem Heed the call for America?
Who'll rise or fall Give his all for America?
Who's here to prove that we can?
The star-spangled man with a plan We all know this is about trying to win the w*r.
We can't do that without b*ll*ts and bandages, t*nk and tents.
That's where you come in. Every bond you buy will help protect someone you love.
Turn around! He's right behind you! Keep our boys armed and ready, and the Germans will think twice about trying to get the drop on us.
Stalwart and steady and true Forceful and ready to defend the red, white, and blue Who'll give the Axis the sack and is smart as a fox?
Who'll give the Axis the sack and is smart as a fox?
Far as an eagle will soar Who's making Adolf afraid to step out of his box?
He knows what we're fighting for Who waked the giant that napped in America?
We know it's no one but Captain America Hi.
Who'll finish what they began?
Who'll kick the Krauts to Japan? The star-spangled man with a plan!
How many of you are ready to help me sock old Adolf on the jaw?
Okay.
I need a volunteer.
I already volunteered! How do you think I got here?
Bring back the girls!
I think they only know the one song, but I'll see what I can do.
You do that, sweetheart.
Nice boots, Tinker Bell!
Come on, guys, we're all on the same team here.
Hey, Captain! Sign this!
Bring back the girls!
Don't worry, pal. They'll warm up to you. Don't worry.
Hello, Steve.
Hi.
Hi. What are you doing here?
Officially, I'm not here at all.
That was quite a performance.
Yeah.
I had to improvise a little bit.
The crowds I'm used to are usually more twelve.
I understand you're "America's New Hope."
Bond sales take a 10% bump in every state I visit.
Is that Senator Brandt I hear?
At least he's got me doing this.
Phillips would have had me stuck in a lab.
And these are your only two options?
A lab rat or a dancing monkey?
You were meant for more than this, you know.
What?
You know, for the longest time, I dreamed about coming overseas and being on the front lines, serving my country.
I finally got everything I wanted
and I'm wearing tights.
They look like they've been through hell.
These men more than most.
Schmidt sent out a force to Azzano. Two hundred men went up against him, and less than 50 returned.
Your audience contained what was left of the 107th.
The rest were k*ll or captured.
The 107th?
What?
Come on.
Colonel Phillips.
Well, if it isn't the Star-Spangled Man With A Plan.
What's your plan today?
I need the casualty list from Azzano.
You don't get to give me orders, son.
I just need one name, Sergeant James Barnes from the 107th.
You and I are gonna have a conversation later that you won't enjoy.
Please tell me if he's alive, sir. B-A-R... I can spell.
I have signed more of these condolence letters today than I would care to count.
But the name does sound familiar.
I'm sorry.
What about the others? Are you planning a rescue mission?
Yes, it's called "winning the w*r."
But if you know where they are, why not at least...
They're 30 miles behind the lines through some of 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.
I think I understand just fine.
Well, then understand it somewhere else.
If I read the posters correctly, you got someplace to be in 30 minutes.
Yes, sir. I do.
If you have something to say, right now is the perfect time to keep it to yourself.
What do you plan to do, walk to Austria?
If that's what it takes.
You heard the Colonel. Your friend is most likely dead.
You don't know that.
Even so, he's devising a strategy. If he detects...
By the time he's done that, it could be too late.
Steve!
You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?
Every word.
Then you got to let me go.
I can do more than that.
On stage, girls. Five minutes!
Where's my helmet?
Anyone seen Rogers?
The Hydra camp is in Krausberg, tucked between these two mountain ranges.
It's a factory of some kind.
We should be able to drop you right on the doorstep.
Just get me as close as you can.
You two are gonna be in a lot of trouble when you land.
And you won't?
Where I'm going, if anybody yells at me, I can just sh**t them.
They will undoubtedly sh**t back.
Well, let's hope it's good for something.
Agent Carter?
If we're not in too much of a hurry, I thought we could stop off in Lucerne for a late-night fondue.
Stark is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen.
He's mad enough to brave this airspace. We're lucky to have him.
So, are you two... Do you...
...fondue?
This is your transponder. Activate it when you're ready and the signal will lead us straight to you.
Are you sure this thing works?
It's been tested more than you, pal.
Get back here! We're taking you all the way in!
As soon as I'm clear, you turn this thing around and get the hell out of here!
You can't give me orders!
The hell I can't! I'm a Captain!
As you can see, production of the Valkyrie is progressing on schedule, even with components of this size.
Increase the output by 60% and see to it our other facilities do the same.
But these prisoners, I'm not sure they have the strength.
Then use up what strength they have left, Doctor.
There are always more workers.
Not now!
You know, Fritz, one of these days, I'm gonna have a stick of my own.
Fellas.
Who are you supposed to be?
I'm Captain America.
I beg your pardon?
What, are we taking everybody?
I'm from Fresno, Ace.
Is there anybody else? I'm looking for a Sergeant James Barnes.
There's an isolation ward in the factory, but no one's ever come back from it.
All right.
The tree line is northwest, 80 yards past the gate.
Get out fast and give 'em hell.
I'll meet you guys in the clearing with anybody else I find.
Wait. You know what you're doing?
Yeah. I've knocked out Adolf h*tler over 200 times.
You know how to use that thing?
Okay.
What is happening?
Hey. Not exactly a Buick.
- That one. "Z�ndung." Z�ndung?
Get this thing going, Dugan!
I didn't know you spoke German.
Three semesters at Howard, switched to French, girls much cuter.
Didn't ask for the resume.
On your left! Up top!
No, no! What are you doing?
Our forces are outmatched.
Keep moving! Grab those grenades!
Sergeant. Three-two-five-five-seven.
Bucky?
Oh, my God.
Is that... It's me.
It's Steve. Steve?
Come on. Steve.
I thought you were dead.
I thought you were smaller.
Come on.
What happened to you? I joined the Army.
Did it hurt? A little.
Is this permanent?
So far.
Captain America!
How exciting!
I am a great fan of your films!
So, Dr. Erskine managed it after all.
Not exactly an improvement, but still, impressive.
You've got no idea.
Haven't I?
No matter what lies Erskine told you, you see, I was his greatest success!
You don't have one of those, do you?
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!
Then how come you're running?
Come on, let's go. Up.
Sir? Are we going to the roof?
What about me?
Where will I sit?
Not a scratch, Doctor.
Not a scratch.
Let's go. One at a time.
Gotta be a rope or something! Just go! Get out of here!
No! Not without you!
Hell.
Senator Brandt, I regret to report that Captain Steven G. Rogers went missing behind enemy lines on the third.
Aerial reconnaissance has proven unfruitful.
As a result, I must declare Captain Rogers k*ll in action. Period.
The last surveillance flight is back.
No sign of activity.
Go get a cup of coffee, Corporal. Yes, sir.
I can't touch Stark.
He's rich and he's the Army's number one w*apon contractor.
You are neither one.
With respect, sir, I don't regret my actions.
And I don't think Captain Rogers did, either.
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.
It wasn't that. I had faith.
Well, I hope that's a big comfort to you when they shut this division down.
What the hell's going on out there?
Look who it is!
Some of these men need medical attention.
Medic, we got wounded. Right over here.
I'd like to surrender myself for disciplinary action.
That won't be necessary.
Yes, sir.
Faith, huh?
You're late.
Couldn't call my ride.
Hey!
Let's hear it for Captain America!
I am honored to present this medal for valor to my personal friend, Captain America!
Captain America!
Captain, that's your cue!
I thought he'd be taller.
The fifth one was here in Poland, right near the Baltic.
And the sixth one was about here, 30, 40 miles west of the Maginot Line.
I just got a quick look.
Well, nobody's perfect.
These are the w*apon factories we know about.
Sergeant Barnes said that Hydra shipped all the parts to another facility that isn't on this map.
Agent Carter, coordinate with Ml6.
I want every Allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base.
What about us?
We are going to set a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass.
What do you say, Rogers? It's your map.
You think you can wipe Hydra off it? Yes, sir. I'll need a team.
We're already putting together the best men.
With all due respect, sir, so am I.
So, let's get this straight.
We barely got out of there alive, and you want us to go back?
Pretty much.
Sounds rather fun, actually.
I'm in.
We're in.
Hell, I'll always fight. But you got to do one thing for me.
What's that?
Open a tab.
Well, that was easy.
Another round. Where are they putting all this stuff?
See? I told you.
They're all idiots.
How about you?
You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?
Hell, no.
That 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?
You know what?
It's kind of growing on me.
Captain. Agent Carter.
Ma'am.
Howard has some equipment for you to try. Tomorrow morning?
Sounds good.
I see your top squad is prepping for duty.
You don't like music?
I do, actually.
I might even, when this is all over, go dancing.
Then what are we waiting for?
The right partner.
0800, Captain.
Yes, ma'am. I'll be there.
I'm invisible.
I'm turning into you. It's like a horrible dream.
Don't take it so hard. Maybe she's got a friend.
Emission signature is unusual.
Alpha and beta ray neutral.
Though I doubt Rogers picked up on that.
Seems harmless enough.
Hard to see what all the fuss is about.
Write that down.
Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr. Stark.
He's in with Colonel Phillips.
Of course, you're welcome to wait.
I read about what you did.
Oh, the... Yeah.
Well, that's, you know.
Just doing what needed to be done.
Sounded like more than that. You saved nearly 400 men.
Really, it's not a big deal.
Tell that to their wives.
I don't think they were all married.
You're a hero.
Well, that depends on the definition, really.
The women of America, they owe you their thanks.
And seeing as they're not here...
Captain!
We're ready for you, if you're not otherwise occupied.
Agent Carter, wait.
Looks like finding a partner wasn't that hard after all.
Peggy, that's not what you thought it was.
I don't think anything, Captain, not one thing.
You always wanted to be a soldier, and now you are, just like all the rest.
Well, what about you and Stark?
How do I know you two haven't been fondue-ing?
You still don't know a bloody thing about women.
Fondue is just cheese and bread, my friend.
Really? I didn't think... Nor should you, pal.
The moment you think you know what's going on in a woman's head is the moment your goose is well and truly cooked.
Me, I concentrate on work, which at the moment is about making sure you and your men do not get k*ll.
Carbon polymer.
Should withstand your average German bayonet.
Although Hydra's not going to attack you with a pocket knife.
I hear you're kind of attached.
It's handier than you might think.
I took the liberty of coming up with some options.
This one's fun.
She's been fitted with electrical relays that allow you to...
What about this one? No, no, that's just a prototype.
What's it made of? Vibranium.
It's stronger than steel and a third the weight.
It's completely vibration absorbent.
How come it's not standard issue?
That's the rarest metal on Earth.
What you're holding there, that's all we've got.
You quite finished, Mr. Stark?
I'm sure the Captain has some unfinished business.
What do you think?
Yes, I think it works.
I had some ideas about the uniform.
Whatever you want, pal.
You are failing!
We are close to an offensive that will shake the planet, yet we are continually delayed because you cannot outwit a simpleton with a shield!
This is hardly my area of expertise.
I merely developed the w*apon. I cannot fire them.
Finish your mission, Doctor, before the American finishes his.
Sir!
I'm sorry, Herr Schmidt.
We fought to the last man.
Evidently not.
Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone at Coney Island?
Yeah, and I threw up?
This isn't payback, is it?
Now why would I do that?
We were right. Dr. Zola's on the train.
Hydra dispatcher gave him permission to open up the throttle.
Wherever he's going, they must need him bad.
Let's get going, because they're moving like the devil.
We only got about a 10-second window.
You miss that window, we're bugs on a windshield.
Mind the gap.
Better get moving, bugs!
Stop him! Fire again!
I had him on the ropes. I know you did.
Get down!
Fire again!
k*ll him! Now!
Bucky!
Hang on!
Grab my hand!
Sit down.
What is this? Steak.
What is in it?
Cow.
Doctor, do you realize how difficult it is to get ahold of a prime cut like that out here?
I don't eat meat.
Why not?
It disagrees with me.
How about cyanide? Does that give you the rumbly tummy, too?
Every Hydra agent that we've tried to take alive has crunched a little pill before we can stop him. But not you.
So, here is my brilliant theory.
You want to live.
You're trying to intimidate me, Colonel.
I bought you dinner.
"Given the valuable information he has provided
"and in exchange for his full cooperation, "Dr. Zola is being remanded to Switzerland"?
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.
Schmidt will know this is a lie.
He's going to k*ll you anyway, Doc. You're a liability.
You know more about Schmidt than anyone.
And the last guy you cost us was Captain Rogers' closest friend, so I wouldn't count on the very best of protection.
It's you or Schmidt.
It's just the hand you've been dealt.
Schmidt believes he walks in the footsteps of the gods.
Only the world itself will satisfy him.
You do realize that's nuts, don't you?
What?
The sanity of the plan is of no consequence.
And why is that? Because he can do it!
What's his target?
His target is everywhere.
Tomorrow, Hydra will stand master of the world, borne to victory on the wings of the Valkyrie.
Our enemies' w*apon will be powerless against us.
If they sh**t down one plane, hundreds more will rain fire upon them!
If they cut off one head, two more shall take its place.
Hail Hydra.
Hail Hydra! Hail Hydra!
Hail Hydra! Hail Hydra! Hail Hydra! Hail Hydra!
Blackout is still in effect throughout the London area.
Please wait for the all-clear.
Your attention, please. All citizens shall remain indoors until further notice.
Blackout is still in effect throughout the London area.
Dr. Erskine said that the serum wouldn't just affect my muscles, it would affect my cells.
Create a protective system of regeneration and healing.
Which means
I can't get drunk.
Did you know that?
Your metabolism burns four times faster than the average person.
He thought it could be one of the side effects.
It wasn't your fault.
Did you read the report? Yes.
Then you know that's not true.
You did everything you could.
Did you believe in your friend?
Did you respect him?
Then stop blaming yourself.
Allow Barnes the dignity of his choice.
He damn well must have thought you were worth it.
I'm going after Schmidt.
I'm not gonna stop until all of Hydra is dead or captured.
You won't be alone.
Johann Schmidt belongs in a bughouse. He thinks he's a god, and he's willing to blow up half the world to prove it, starting with the USA.
Schmidt's working with powers beyond our capabilities.
He gets across the Atlantic, he will wipe out the entire Eastern Seaboard in an hour.
How much time we got?
According to my new best friend, under 24 hours.
Where is he now? Hydra's last base is here.
In the Alps, 500 feet below the surface.
So what are we supposed to do?
I mean, it's not like we can just knock on the front door.
Why not?
That's exactly what we're going to do.
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?
He told me you were insane.
He resented my genius and tried to deny me what was rightfully mine.
But he gave you everything.
So, what made you so special?
Nothing.
I'm just a kid from Brooklyn.
I can do this all day.
Of course you can, of course.
But, unfortunately, I am on a tight schedule.
So am I.
Rogers! You might need this!
Thanks!
We're in! as*ault team, go!
Move out!
Move!
Keep your spacing!
Cut off one head, two more shall...
Let's go find two more!
You're late.
Weren't you about to... Right.
Get in!
Keep it steady! Wait!
Go get him.
I'm not kissing you!
You don't give up, do you? Nope!
You could have the power of the gods!
Yet you wear a flag on your chest and think you fight a battle of nations!
I have seen the future, Captain!
There are no flags! Not my future!
What have you done?
No!
:[Captain America takes control of the Red Skull's plane and peaks over the radio]
:Captain America: Come in, this is Captain Rogers, do you read me?
:Jim Morita: Captain Rogers, what is your--[Peggy interrupts]
:Peggy Carter: Steve, is that you? Are you alright?
:Captain America: Peggy, Schmidt's dead!
:Carter: What about the plane?
:Captain America: That's a little bit tougher to explain.
:Carter: Give your coordinates, I'll find you a safe landing site.
:Captain America: There's not gonna be a safe landing. But I can try and force it down. [Col. Phillips signals Jim Morita and they leave the room.] 
:Carter: I'll get Howard on the line, he'll know what to do.
:Captain America: There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast and it's heading for New York. I got to put her in the water.
:Carter: Please, don't do this. We have time. We can work it out.
:Captain America: 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 puts his compass with her picture on one of the controls as he dives the plane down to the ice below] Peggy?
:Carter: I'm here.
:Captain America: I'm gonna to need a rain check on that dance.
:Carter: All right. A week, next Saturday, at the Stork Club.
:Captain America: You got it.
:Carter: 8:00 on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?
:Captain America: You know, I still don't know how to dance.
:Carter: I'll show you how. Just be there.
:Captain America: We'll have the band play something slow. I'd hate to step on your-[radio goes to static]
:Carter: Steve? Steve? [Colonel Phillips is nearby as a tear drops down Peggy's face] Steve?
To the Captain.
Sir?
Take us to the next grid point.
But there's no trace of wreckage.
And the energy signature stops here.
Just keep looking.
Curve ball, high and outside for ball one.
So the Dodgers are tied, 4-4.
And the crowd well knows that with one swing of his bat, this fellow's capable of making it a brand-new game again.
Just an absolutely gorgeous day here at Ebbets Field.
The Phillies have managed to tie it up at 4-4.
But the Dodgers have three men on.
Pearson beaned Reiser in Philadelphia last month.
Wouldn't the youngster like a hit here to return the favor?
Pete leans in. Here's the pitch.
Swung on. A line to the right. And it gets past Rizzo.
Three runs will score.
Reiser heads to third. Durocher's going to wave him in.
Here comes the relay, but they won't get him.
Good morning.
Or should I say afternoon?
Where am I?
You're in a recovery room in New York City.
The Dodgers take the lead, 8-4. Oh, Dodgers!
Everyone is on their feet.
What a game we have here today, folks. What a game, indeed.
Where am I really?
I'm afraid I don't understand.
The game.
It's from May 1941. I know, 'cause I was there.
Now, I'm going to ask you again.
Where am I?
Captain Rogers... Who are you?
Captain Rogers, wait!
All agents, code 13!
I repeat. All agents, code 13!
:[Upon discovering where he is, Steve runs out into modern-day Times Square and is very shocked and confused; he is approached by Nick Fury and many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents]
:Nick Fury: At ease, soldier! 
:Steve Rogers: Who are you?
:Fury: Colonel Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. You would have known us as the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
:Rogers: Where am I?
:Fury: 46th and Broadway. Look, I'm sorry about that little show back there, but we didn't know what your mental state might be, so we thought it best to break it to you slowly.
:Rogers: Break what?
:Fury: You've been asleep, Cap. For almost 70 years. 
:Rogers: How am I alive?
:Fury: Well, to be honest with you, we don't really know. My docs say it was suspended animation. Could be Dr. Erskine's formula, the extreme cold. I don't know.
:Rogers: What about the war? Did we win?
:Fury: Hell, yes. Unconditional surrender. Taking down HYDRA was a big part of that. But the world hasn't changed all that much. There's still a lot of work to be done. A soldier's work. The world can still use a man like you, Cap. There's a place here for you. [Steve is silent with shock] You gonna be okay?
:Rogers: Yeah. Yeah, I just... I had a date.
:[Post-credits scene: Steve is pummeling a punching bag in a gym and in anger knocks it off its chain, sending it flying across the room when Fury enters the gym]
:Fury: Trouble sleeping?
:Rogers: You're here with a mission, sir?
:Fury: I am.
:Rogers: Trying to get me back in the world?
:Fury: Trying to save it.
You think you're the only hero in the world?
Gentlemen?
You're up.
Got a mean swing.
