The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

He is gone.

Uncle Sam!

Sam, the boat's gotta go.

I'm doin' everything I can to keep this business afloat.

And every day I'm making $5, and spending $10.

That shield is a monument to a bygone era.

A reminder of all the people history just left out.

If anything, that shield should be destroyed.

I heard what became of Sokovia.

I don't suppose any of you bothered visiting the memorial?

Of course not.

So you're telling me that there was a black Super Soldier

decades ago and nobody knew about it?

You know what they did to me?

They put my ass in jail for 30 years.

Why'd you give up that shield?

Can you accept that I did what I thought was right?

Karli Morgenthau, you're under arrest.

- So, this is what that was? - No, wait...

Tricking me until your backup arrived?

No, I think we had enough time to talk.

- You Nazi. - Why don't you...

If you had the chance to take the serum, would you do it?

Hells, yeah.

You wouldn't be worried about how it might change you?

Power just makes a person more of themselves, right?

Hey, Lemar.

Lemar. Lemar. Lemar.

It wasn't me!

It wasn't me!

It wasn't me!

You told me.

You didn't want me to go in.

- Why didn't I listen? - You all right, man?

This suit, it comes with expectations, brother.

Why?

Look, John, I know you want this. I get it.

You consistently make the right decisions in the heat of battle.

Time to go to work.

Time to go to work.

Walker...

You guys should see a medic, you don't look so good.

Stop, Walker.

What?

You saw what happened. You know what I had to do.

I killed him because I had to! He killed Lemar!

He didn't kill Lemar, John.

Don't go down that road. Believe me, it doesn't end well.

I'm not like you.

Listen, it was the heat of the battle. Okay?

If you explain what happened, they may consider your record.

We don't want anyone else to get hurt.

John...

You gotta give me the shield, man.

Oh,

so that's what this is.

You almost got me.

You made a mistake.

You don't wanna do this.

Yeah, we do.

Why are you making me do this?

Why are you making me do this?

This isn't you, John.

We could've been a team.

I am Captain America!

No!

It's mine.

It's over, John.

It's mine.

The GRC is conducting raids to try and find Karli,

but so far they've only found her followers.

They've searched this camp,

and just like the last camp, nothing.

She's gone. We'll never find her.

Hey, you got your sleeve back.

Are you off to take care of Zemo?

All right, good to know you survived.

What's our next steps, Torres?

Captain America killing a foreign national in public,

it's kinda like a big deal.

Like international incident big.

Folks, uh, higher up on the payroll are

all over it now. So, unfortunately...

They're taking jurisdiction.

Yeah.

What happened to these?

- So is there anything we can do? - Not really.

As you can see, they've cordoned off the whole camp,

and Karli's a ghost.

After what went down, she is laying extra low.

Like, under-underground.

And that's why it makes sense for us to get involved.

The longer we let her regroup, the harder it's gonna be to find her.

She's got people helping her from all over the world, on all platforms.

She's really, really good at this thing.

Yeah.

How'd these break?

Anyway, all we can do now is sit tight and just chill.

Sometimes, there's nothing to do until there's something to do.

That's bizarrely wise.

- Well, I'm a bizarrely wise man, Sam. - Yeah, all right.

- Thanks, Torres. - For sure.

Wait, yo, you forgot the wings.

Keep 'em.

John F. Walker, it is the order of this council

that you are no longer to act in any capacity

as a representative of the United States government or its military.

You are hereby stripped of your title

and authority as Captain America,

effective immediately.

Senator, uh, permission to present to the council testimony

as to the circumstances of the incident.

Circumstances of the incident have been considered.

It's only because of your previous exemplary service to this country

that I'm recommending against a court-martial.

With all due respect,

I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation fully,

thereby, have misunderstood the circumstances...

- This is not a negotiation. - I understand that.

- This is a mandate. - I'm just asking to be heard.

It is a mandate.

I understand that! I understand that!

I lived my life by your mandates!

I dedicated my life to your mandates!

I only ever did what you asked of me,

what you told me to be and trained me to do, and I did it.

And I did it well.

You will be given

an other than honorable discharge

retroactive to the beginning of the month.

You will hold no rank in retirement and receive no benefits.

You built me.

Senator, I am Captain America.

Not anymore.

And if you continue to demean and denigrate

the priorities and dignity of this council,

you will spend the rest of your life

in the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks.

Consider yourself extremely fortunate, Mr. Walker,

and return the shield to us with expedience.

They just do not know what it takes to be Captain America,

they just don't.

- It's not like I'm just gonna disappear. - Okay, focus.

Take things one step at a time.

You start by visiting Lemar's parents.

They need to see you. And then, we can build...

Well, these boots are not made for walkin'.

Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

Actually, it's Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

I know it's hard, but I don't like to repeat myself,

so you can just call me Val.

But don't call me Val, just keep it in your head.

I'm gonna...

Look...

I would have killed the bastard too.

Nobody in there is mad at you about that.

I mean, you would've been doin' 'em a favor

if you'd taken out the whole lot.

But these guys in ties, you know,

they got a whole thing to protect.

Excuse me. Who are you?

Anyway, you did the right thing

taking the serum.

Yeah, of course I know about that. And I'll tell you something.

It has made you very, very valuable to certain people.

I actually think it was the second best choice

you've ever made in your life.

Oh, you wanna know what the first best choice was?

Oh...

Tied with marrying

this fabulous firecracker sitting right next to me.

How's it going?

Picking up the phone when I call you.

Oh, by the way, don't worry about the shield.

I know you don't have it.

Here's a little, dirty state secret.

It doesn't really belong to the government.

It's kind of a legal gray area.

I'll be in touch.

There's... There's nothing on it.

It says here the GRC accused them

of harboring and abetting international fugitives,

so they raided the place and shut it down.

Mathias.

Mama Donya.

Nico.

I've lost count of how many others.

How many times do we have to pay with our lives

just to be citizens of this goddamn planet!

The movement is ready.

They're not going to stop.

Not unless we make them.

It's time.

I thought you'd be here sooner.

Don't worry.

I've decided I'm not going to kill you.

Imagine my relief.

The girl has been radicalized beyond salvation.

I warned Sam, but he didn't listen to me.

He's as stubborn as Steve Rogers before him.
