Nightfire

Three weeks ago, the people of Ukraine

sent to the world a desperate call for help.

Today we're here to respond to that call.

In the coming weeks, the United States government

will be sending to Ukraine resources like food,

medicine, weapons, and with them,

American soldiers to help protect

the Ukrainian people from Russian hostilities.

Furthermore, in accordance with the guidelines

set forth by the European Union,

the United States will legally acquire Ukraine's

territory for a funding donation of two billion dollars.

We hope that the Ukrainian citizens understand

that right now this is the best possible course of action

to maintain civilian safety and peace.

Godspeed.

Mr. Williams, please,

please, Mr. Williams. - Mr. Williams, over here.

- Please, Mr. Williams. - Mr. Williams, please.

Are we too late?

Yeah, he's dead.

What limb?

Right arm.

Do you see it?

Yeah, it's there.

- Charges are set, three minutes to fireworks.

Copy that.

You're American.

I love America.

I love Captain America.

Listen, there's a prisoner here.

He's European.

- Shouldn't be a problem, just leave him.

You leave me here, I die.

Make him stop.

Be quiet.

- If you don't make him stop, he's gonna blow our cover.

Be quiet.

I'm sorry.

I need an exit for two!

Hold on.

So much for a quiet exit.

Who's your friend?

Go, go, go, go, go.

Give me your glasses.

Huh?

Give me your glasses.

I cannot see.

Oh say, can you see?

Is this really necessary?

Well if he's gonna come with us,

then yes, it is necessary.

Hey, Pavarotti, shut up and hold still.

You don't have a passport do you?

No passport, they take-d it.

Andrea Olivetti, Italian citizen,

professor of linguistics at Kiev National University.

Turn around, spread your legs.

You teach there?

I write, I am poet.

Oh, you're a poet.

I wrote a poem, you wanna hear it?

Si.

Roses are red, shut the fuck up.

(laughs) It does not rhyme.

It's a nursery rhyme.

- Oh. - All right.

Base, this is Atlas.

Tell him the package is secured.

Yeah, and we're three total.

Yeah, three.

We're all clear.

Sit down.

You should eat something.

Ah, grazie.

Carter.

Grazie, Agent Carter.

And that's Ross.

Where are we going?

That's classified.

We're going to the closest U.S. embassy.

Let's get underway.

You sure you still want him to come?

- I don't want to be inconvenience to your superiors.

Oh, trust me you already are.

He won't be.

As long as we deliver what they asked for,

they won't ask any questions.

I follow orders.

I stand by the laws of my country.

Sometimes it's not about the law,

it's about doing what's right.

Does your government stand by the ideals

and values-- - Hey, Papa John.

I fight for my country because it pays well.

And I get to shoot people.

- Mr. Williams, can you comment on

the missing funds from the deal?

Excuse me, Senator.

Mr. Williams, can you

comment on the missing funds?

Mr. Williams, please. - Later, please.

Later, please. - Please, Mr. Williams.

Mr. Williams, Senator.

Mr. Williams!

Good luck charm?

Hmm?

The coin.

You had it in the submarine.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Worth a lot?

Smart guy.

- It's a dollar coin, my father gave it to me.

Ah, that's nice.

He thought it was interesting.

It's a misprint.

I don't...

Here, look.

One wing is bigger than the other.

Ah, si.

I would not notice.

That's the point.

Mr. Olivetti, I apologize for my delay.

On behalf of the United States,

I'd like to extend my sympathies

for the unjust treatment you've endured.

You're a powerful symbol of hope to many people.

Right now, the world could use that hope.

Please do us the honor of joining me

for my speech this evening.

I don't know what I can offer.

You're a hero, sir.

Heroes deserve a place in the spotlight.

- The real heroes are Agent Carter, Agent Ross.

Without them, I'd still be locked in a cage.

- And I believe your story is a valuable one to tell.

Please join us.

Okay.

All right. (laughs)

How do you say, "molto bene"?

How's my Italian?

- (laughs) Molto bene, si, si. - Molto bene!

Diane will escort you to get ready.

Agent Carter.

Good luck.

I am poet, but I have no words.

You saved my life.

Just doing our jobs.

No, no, you do much more.

Agent Ross, you no like me. But I thank you too.

Ah! (laughs)

This way, please.

- I didn't know we liked Italians that much.

In fact we don't.

But I'd be willing to like him just enough

to get us out of this shit we're currently standing in.

Sir?

Right now, we're standing on a fence

between two groups of people who wanna eat each other.

As long as this deal goes through,

I think everything will be okay.

And that's what we're here to assure them of.

Mr. Olivetti is a perfect reminder

of our country's vast importance,

a reminder of all the good we can do.

Couldn't agree more, sir.

- By the way, next time I ask you to do something quietly,

please do it quietly.

No, no, we'll do that in my office.

- ... had vanished just this morning.

Government officials declined to comment

on the missing two billion dollars

promised by the United States.

As the eyes of the world lay on the Ukrainian people,

who cry out for help--

Getting interested in politics?

Just looking for the hockey score.

Drink?

Please.

Oh, no, I don't drink on the job.

- Always on duty, that's what I like about you.

So, what have you got for me?

Very good.

You boys have done a tremendous service for your country.

That'll be all.

Would you like our reports?

- Actually, no, we're not gonna be submitting

any official reports on this operation.

All right.
