There is something
wrong with me.

An emptiness.

I thought it started
when my sister died,

but now it feels like
something bigger.

Just a... void.

Or maybe I'm just bored.

Boo.

They send me a job,

I clock in, clock out, you know?

I'm in the cleanup business.

This week, Malaysia.
Next week, who knows?

I thought throwing myself
into work was the answer.

But I'm not focused,
and I'm not happy,

and I don't have purpose.

And without purpose, I'm
just drifting like a river...

Or like an old leaf.

Or like an old leaf in a river.

Which do you think
is bet... 'Ey!

You weren't listening to me.

It's like your mind
is somewhere else.

Well, whatever. You're
useless to me unless

you can get me past that
facial recognition thingy.

Hello.

Can you help me get in there?

No?

Mmm.

You've got your own
problems, I guess.

Well, it didn't say how
to destroy the evidence

in the assignment.

It's gonna get messy.

Stop right there!

Hi.

Now, that's a face that
can open a scanner.

Did Valentina send you?

This research is
property of OXE Group.

You're gonna tell me

-I don't understand.
-You don't understand.

-We've made a breakthrough.
-You've made a breakthrough.

-It's gonna change the world.
-No, no, no.

-It could end the world.
-Blah, blah, blah.

Valentina doesn't understand
what happened here.

Shh, shh, shh.

Look, blame the US government
for their pesky investigation.

Now we have to get
rid of all this stuff.

Do you think I
like taking orders?

Going from job to job doing
the same thing all the time?

Don't do it. I
wouldn't do that.

Always a struggle for a gun.

Oh, God.

You shoot, I dodge.

Oh, my God.

Tell Valentina she's
making a mistake.

You guys can never aim for shit.

Always collateral damage.

You try to say your last words.

Project Sentry isn't
what she thinks.

But you start to fall asleep.

Oh...

Oh, damn.

I needed that face.

Okay.

The assignment is...
Oh, wait. Hang on.

Assignment is complete.

What's next?

Representative Barnes,

as a freshman congressman,
any words on today's hearing?

Well, I'm not on the
impeachment committee,

but the rumors of wrongdoing
are, um, very worrying.

They are, uh, very, very
concerning and worrying.

And, uh, I think that

my Brooklyn constituents
deserve better,

so we're-we're gonna get
to the bottom of this,

um... ...worrying issue.

Thank you.

Now, today, the
committee is meeting

to examine this official
who sits before you.

Articles of impeachment have
been brought against her.

And when we vote in
favor of the impeachment,

she will be removed from
her post permanently.

Please state your
name for the record.

Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

Mm-hmm.

-Uh, Miss Fontaine...
-No.

It's "de Fontaine."
You forgot the "de."

Mr. Anderson, for example,

is Secretary of Defense,
not secretary of "fense."

Miss de Fontaine.

At this moment, you are serving

as a director of
the CIA, correct?

That is correct.

And before that, you were
the chairwoman of the board

of OXE Group?

Yes. Although, I have
fully divested in OXE

since taking office.

I now sit on the board in a
strategic guidance capacity.

And following this
strategic guidance,

the OXE Group maintains
significant holdings

in unregulated labs
in foreign countries

and rumored human
experimentation.

All part of an illegal operation

to develop your own
super... person.

May I speak now, Congressman?

Yes.

First of all, I don't have time

to entertain these
rumors and this gossip.

Right now, there are
multiple rogue nations

with technologies that
far exceed our own.

And you'll recall that our
last president turned into

a bright red superhuman monster

who nearly destroyed this city.

The Avengers are not
walking through that door.

We have no reliable heroes.

That is why the onus
is on me, on us,

the American government,
to shield its citizens.

And you know...

Madame Director.

...anything I have
done in my roles,

both at OXE or at the CIA,

has been done with
that goal in mind.

Order. Madame Director.

I officially reject these
articles of impeachment.

This is a partisan
waste of time.

And your hunt will
come up empty,

no matter how many
nooks and crannies

you happen to
stick your nose in.

So you don't mind

if this committee continues
this investigation?

Oh, of course not.

Shit.

We gotta get all of
this outta here ASAP.

Yep. So far they've removed
all the case studies...

Okay, just get rid
of any hanging chads

that could get me impeached
or land me in federal prison.

Copy. No prison.

What about our shadow
ops out in the field?

Did all those loose
ends get tied up?

Well, the ends are tied,
yes, but the rope is on fire.

What?

Can you please
just say it normal?

Okay, um, one operative
blew up an entire laboratory

in the middle of Kuala Lumpur.

Whatever.

Did the new assignments
get sent out?

Yes, ma'am. All but
one have checked in.

Where is she?

There's Brezhnev.

Those guys with
the little waves.

Get out of my way.

Get out of my...

I click "leave on porch."

Your "subordinance" will
be reported to DoorDash HQ.

Alexei, it's me. Open up.

Yelena?

Hold on!

"Protecting you from
boring evening."

Hmm.

Yelena! So good to see you.

Hi, Dad.

Sorry for the wait.

I was on important call.

Highly classified.

How long has it
been, huh? A year?

Wow, yeah, I guess...
I guess it has been.

You... You've been
busy with work?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, a lot of,
uh... a lot of work.

-Me too.
-Too many irons in fire.

Uh, security.

My limo business.

You would not believe
the important people

I meet driving.

So you... you feel fulfilled?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, so full, so filled.

Move to DC, best
decision I ever made.

Isn't this
technically Baltimore?

No. Baltimore start
next block over.

-Oh.
-But why do you ask this?

What, uh... What
brings you here?

Uh, I... I wanted to talk
to you about Valentina.

Okay. New assignment.

You come to Red Guardian.
You want a little help.

Uh, no, I... I think
I'm gonna quit.

What?

I would burn the city to
the ground to work for her.

What? You just said
you were fulfilled.

Lena, I was lying.

Look around you.
I'm miserable.

Give me her number.

-No way.
-Give to me.

-Alexei, stop, stop.
-I call her. I use...

Lena!

Lena, what is wrong?

The light inside you is dim

even by Eastern
European standards.

I've just been
wondering, you know,

like, what... is the point?

In any of this?

The point of work
is fame and fortune.

Fortune buys friends, and love,

and a lot of cool clothes.

-Okay. Thank you.
-Okay, okay...

-No, never mind. It's fine.
-No, no, no. Okay.

You-You want to know
when I was really happy?

Yes, please.

When I was serving
my country as a hero.

Saving civilians in streets.

Being cheered on by the crowd.

Adored like a god.

There is no higher calling.

Your sister understood
something about that.

Mm-mmm.

Perhaps it is time that
you followed in her path.

Why do you have this photo out?

We were so bad.

You were happy.

I'll make you something.

You know, I'm still super
soldier in his prime.

Maybe you could
put in a good word

with Valentina for me, huh?

Okay, Val. Reporting for duty.
What's my next assignment?

Thank you, Ms. Belova.
I was starting to worry.

After this though,
I... I need a change.

Oh, really?

Yeah, maybe something
more public facing.

Interesting.

Yelena's ready for her close-up?

Yeah, this just isn't
working for me anymore.

Okay, well,

you know I love promoting women.

You complete this last
assignment for OXE,

and you have a deal.

Okay?

Okay.

There's a warehouse facility,

a vault, built a mile
down into a mountain.

It stores all of OXE Group's
most sensitive assets.

Intel's come in that
a rogue operative

with attributes perfectly
tailored to rob me

is intending to...
well, rob me.

I need you to follow
the target inside

and find out what
she intends to steal.

I'll add your biometrics
to the system.

You'll have full access.

Once you assess
what's being stolen,

you have the go-ahead
to terminate on sight.

And then, no problem.

You know, we can find you
some "good guy" material.

It's simple, really. It's
just one little target...

and you're done.

What is happening?

You're not even my target.

You're mine.

I'm not here for you.

There you are.

Now what?

Oh, get over yourself.

Stay out of my way.

Is she actually dead? Oh...

Whoa. No. Hi. Hey.

I'm... I'm Bob.

Yes, these are the
Chitauri handcuffs.

Recovered from the
Battle of New York

by the first responders.

They came with the new property.

Just reminds us that,
of course, we struggle,

but then we get back up.

-Yes, we do.
-I love it. Yeah.

-That's inspiring.
-Oh.

Thank you, Congressman.

I'm so happy that you're here.

Yes, this is a beautiful
fake event, Val.

"The First Responders
Family Fund."

-Yes.
-That's cute.

Cute? Oh.

This won't sway the votes
enough to save your ass.

Oh.

Okay. So, can you
go get him, Mel?

-Yep.
-Thank you.

This gaudy Avenger propaganda
reeks of desperation.

If you really thought
that, you wouldn't be here.

You're scared

because your investigation
of my office came up clean.

-Hmm. Squeaky clean.
-Mm-hmm.

Almost like someone had
frantically gotten rid

of all the evidence.

Or like someone was
incredibly innocent.

Without proof,

this impeachment thing is
running on borrowed time.

Uh, excuse me.

Turn around.

Oh.

-How great.
-Oh, thank you.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you very much.

Ah...

What do you think?

Oh.

-Hi.
-Mel, right?

-Mm-hmm.
-Mmm.

This must all seem like
ancient history to you.

You know, Kierkegaard says

that life can only be
understood backwards.

-Very true.
-Is it?

I don't know, actually.

It did sound good, though.

He did believe that it
was up to individuals

-to create values.
-Hmm.

I know who you are
and what you're doing.

What am I doing?

You're working me.

You're trying to
get me on your side.

Okay, look. I...

Y-You say you know who I am.

So you know my story,

and you know I didn't have
a choice who I worked for.

But you do.

I need to keep
Valentina on schedule.

Oh.

What is this? This your trash?

-It's my business card.
-Oh.

In case you need some help or,

you know, you wanna share
some secret hidden evidence.

Ah.

Okay. Goodbye.

Who are you?

I'm... I'm Bob. I
told you. I'm, uh...

Yeah. Bob.

Jesus Christ.
Stop saying "Bob."

-Who sent you, Bob?
-Nobody.

Why would I be sent?

Were you all...
You were all sent?

Okay, I'm not sure
what's happening here,

but you're all exhausting
and my job is done, so...

Ah, but you see my job
is to keep an eye on you.

So, no, you are not gonna
go anywhere anymore.

So you're keeping
an eye on her, huh?

That's a halfway decent cover

for somebody stealing
assets from OXE.

I'm not stealing.
She's stealing.

Okay.

It's clear we have all
worked for Valentina

in some sort of
shadow ops capacity.

Yeah. So?

So all of this stuff
is OXE's secrets.

But so are we.

Which makes us liabilities
that no one would miss.

Oh, speak for yourself.

We are the evidence, and
this is the shredder.

She wants us gone.

Your theory's flawed.

Oh, please. Go on.

Okay. Well, look at the facts.

The infamous Ghost.

A SHIELD reject on the
run from 15 nations?

'Cause the dead one over there,

she destroyed half of Budapest.

Don't talk about her like that.

And you, former
Red Room assassin.

God only knows the
blood on your hands.

Pretty ludicrous

coming from the dime-store
Captain America.

I'll have you know
I was actually

the official Captain
America, so...

Yeah, for, like, two seconds.

Before you publicly
murdered an innocent man

on the streets.

-Do I have that right?
-Really? Define "innocent."

Hey, look. I'm a decorated
combat veteran, okay?

I have a loving wife and a son.

Let's be honest, you guys are
just cheap mercenaries. Okay?

So, I... Clearly, I'm
supposed to bring you in.

That was funny. Thank
you. We needed that.

It was getting so tense
in here for a second.

I'm not leaving here without
completing my mission.

Valentina gave me a
clean slate guarantee,

and I'm not screwing that up.

But this weirdo wasn't part
of the job, so I gotta know...

How'd you get in?

I don't... I don't remember.

Terrific answer.

All right, um...
Tie yourselves up.

-Wow. No.
-Oh, my God.

And goodbye.

You guys hear that?

Isn't that amazing? Cheers.

And she said,
"Not on my watch."

-Congressman Gary.
-Hey!

I have a plan.

Holy shit, Bucky.

The assistant, she's ductile.

-Ductile? Oh.
-Yeah.

I-I mean, good.

But next time, why
don't you just text me

like a normal person?

Look, we're safe here.
We're in a blind spot, okay?

Away from those two cameras.

Just hold on, all right?

We don't need to go
rogue in the darkness,

or whatever you people do.

Hold on? You don't know
what Val is capable of.

We need to move fast,

and the assistant
is on the fence.

Without a smoking gun,

the best chance to get Val out
of power is to whip the votes.

And you can help with that

and then let the
system do its job.

The system that goes on
recess every day at 4:00 p.m.

We are in a good
spot, I assure you.

My team is putting
together a juicy packet

for the next hearing.

-Packet?
-Yes, Bucky.

Read the packets.

Is it time?

I can confirm all your
"guests" are in attendance,

and vault level five has
been completely sealed off.

All right, then.

"All right, then. Move on
to the final step"? Or...

Torch it all.

Right. Um...

-Are you... Are you sure?
-Oh, my God.

Hey.

Job or not, can you have
some respect, please?

Yeah, Jesus.

Hold on a second.

What? She'd want
me to have it.

I need it.

What the hell is that?

That doesn't sound
like a shredder.

It's an incinerator.

Two minutes.

Then Valentina's
slate is wiped clean.

You don't know that for
sure. Could be for anything.

Could be for when they
come to pick me up.

Do you feel that?

The temperature
rising dramatically

as if heat was involved?

Okay, it's an incinerator.

Oh, boy. That is no way to go.

Well, how would you
like to die today, Bob?

Okay, ghost lady.

-Ava.
-Sure. Whatever. Don't care.

We need to get you
through the walls,

so that you can open the door.

-She tried that already.
-I know she did.

But we haven't tried shutting
down the sound barrier.

Well, if they built
it just for her,

there's gotta be an
independent power source.

Come on. Let's go.

What... What exactly
are we looking for?

We're looking for
not-stupid questions, Bob.

I think I found it.

Move!

I can override this.

On your left!

Or that works, I hope.

Go, go, go.

You think she's coming back?

I should have seen this coming.

Yelena!

Yelena!

Yelena, c'mon!

What?

Lunch will be over soon.

Why'd you bring us so far out?

Anya, over here!

No.

I'm sorry.

Well done, Yelena. Your
first test is now complete.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hey. Didn't think you'd
come back. Thanks.

I had to. Someone cut the
power to the elevator.

Lovely evening.

Nice to be in the
room, you know?

Okay. What is it, Mel?

Just spit it out
already. What?

Um, it's your "guests."

They've somehow evaded
the "housewarming gift."

-Oh, come on.
-And, um...

God, is it possible

that they've maybe, um,
joined forces against you?

Mel. These are
defective losers.

Antisocial tragedy
in human form.

You know, honestly,

I cannot think of a
worse group of people

trying to work together.

-My god.
-Right.

It's just that, um...

-What?
-They're working together.

What...

Who the hell is this guy?

I have no idea.

I need an ID on John Doe.

I wanna know how this man-boy

got into my supposedly
impenetrable stronghold.

-Copy.
-And call Holt.

Give him the vault coordinates.

I want the full
strike team mobilized.

-We need to end this now.
-Okay.

Calling now.

Holt? It's Mel. Ready
for coordinates?

I was trying to help...

Everybody's got a reason for
being here except this guy.

Hey, Bobby.

Less talking to yourself,
more talking to us.

-I'm tired of this bullshit.
-Hey, Walker.

You tell me how you got
in here right goddamn now.

I swear, man, I-I just
woke up in this place.

One minute, I was, you
know, getting my blood drawn

for this medical study,
and the next I'm in here.

In my pajamas. I don't
know what's happening.

Okay, then show me
where you woke up.

In... In there.

Where everything's on fire.
That's real convenient.

Walker, relax.

You don't remember anything?

Bag over your head?

-A needle in your neck?
-No.

-Choke hold? Nerve pinch?
-No.

I think he's just a civilian.

If he's a civilian,
he knows too much.

If he's an agent, he sucks.

Either way I say we throw
him back into the fire.

Sorry. Look... You said
you were Captain America?

Why are you laughing?

Just 'cause you're an asshole.

You know?

It's just funny. I mean...

Hey. Whoa. Okay. Okay!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We swung our tiny dicks.

It was a lot of fun.

You go over there.

Bob, come with me.

Come here.

-Are you hurt?
-No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

You do not seem fine.

Yeah, well, we've only
just met. This is...

This is how I am.

Oh.

The talking to yourself?

Yeah.

-The emo aggressive thing?
-I mean...

That... That guy's been a
dick to me from the start.

Oh, I get it. He sucks.

But we have to work together
to get out of here, so...

Well, you guys should just go
without me. It'll be easier.

Oh, no, you'll die down here.

Yeah. Well,
whatever. I mean...

I think everyone's better
off if I just stay put.

Okay, I-I... I understand.

We all feel like shit sometimes.

And loneliness, I
get that. I get it.

And that... that
darkness gets...

...pretty enticing.

And then it starts to feel
a little bit like a...

A void.

Yep. A void.

What do you do about it?

You shove it way
down. You just...

push it down.

That's great... That's
really good advice.

You're welcome.

You guys done with therapy yet?

I think I found a way out.

Look, we're all alone.

All of us.

Let's just stick together

until we make it to the surface,

and after that,

you can start a fight
with a super soldier.

Get yourself killed.
I don't care.

Okay?

Okay. Yeah.

"If the resolution of
impeachment is adopted..."

Stupid packets.

Oh, God. Boring.

Hello?

Hi. This is, uh, Mel.

Mel. Hi.

-You called.
-I did.

I know that you're new to DC,
and I wanted to, um, network.

-Network?
- Mm-hmm.

So, uh, how are you
feeling about your new job?

Oh, it's great. Love it.

It's not ancient
history, you know.

I was in high school
when the aliens came.

And the Avengers.

High school, huh?

I was, like, 90.

It's kinda strange that
it's all over now, right?

I mean, Avengers are gone.

No one else is coming
to save the day.

Maybe we could be the
people that are coming.

Just come in and
testify against her.

You must really
not know my boss.

We can protect you.

Oh, can you?

Is that coming from the
freshman congressman

who hasn't gotten a bill passed

or the Winter Soldier?

Come on, Mel. Just
give me something.

Hey... You can track
my phone, right?

Yes, I can, but I
don't do that anymore.

Thank you, Congressman.
Have a great night.

So,

none of us fly?

What, do we all just
punch and shoot?

Okay. Don't worry. I got this.

You should try that again.

We're pretty far down here.

Hey. Okay, why
don't you walk up

through the walls or whatever

and then just throw
us a rope down?

-Yeah.
-That's...

Okay, well, first of all,

someone other than you
would have to ask me.

And second of all, I'd have
to know where I'm going

'cause I've never been able to
hold it longer than a minute.

So I'd just get lost
in an ocean of dirt,

and then I'd be
crushed to death.

-All right?
-Just a minute?

-Oh, shut up.
-Oh, my God. We suck.

Uh...

I have an idea.

Right.

Left.

Right.

Ew. Which one of you is wet?

I... I run hot. Sorry.

Someone's got a
weird, hard butt.

That's not my
butt. It's my suit.

Well, you need to
get a new suit.

Pardon me for the
inconvenience.

I mean, I only spent
my entire life in labs

hooked up to machines

so I could create
this physical cage

to keep my material body from
disintegrating at all times.

So, yeah, I'm so
sorry about that.

You do not want to start

the whole sob story game.

I win.

Enslaved child
assassin over here.

Well, you were just a kid, so...

Oh, so that's a good thing now?

I just think it might be nice

to know that you didn't
really know any better.

Thanks. I feel way better.

Hey, quit it.

Uh...

All right.

-Okay. Okay.
-Ready?

Right. Oh, God.

Oh, my God. Why
are you gasping?

Please don't gasp at work.

It's the John Doe.

He's Sentry Project.

No, everyone who went through
Sentry Project is dead, Mel.

That's why we're in
this whole stupid mess.

Yeah, but look. There.

Robert Reynolds entered the
pre-trial program in Malaysia,

and he'd had a real
rough go before that.

One of the test subjects.

How did he get in my vault?

He was supposed to be dead.

You threw him out with
the rest of the evidence.

If he survived the
procedure, that means...

Yeah. It might actually work.

Oh, my God.

It's crazy. I can't
even see the floor.

Can we not talk about
how high up we are?

I'm just not great with heights.

Hey, I think I see the door.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Okay. Okay.

Uh...

Now what?

Um...

I guess one of us should go...

first.

Then the other three
immediately fall.

Shit.

Sorry. Yeah, I
guess I didn't...

I didn't really
think this far ahead.

Genius plan, Bobby.

-Always making things worse.
-These bloody boots.

I don't think I can
hold this much longer.

Okay. Hand me your baton.

-I can reach it.
-What?

-Yeah.
-No way.

You're just going to leave us.

Okay.

Spin us around...

...and then I can...
I can latch us on.

I'm not spinning
us around, okay?

Somebody's got to go first.

Cucumber, cucumber, cucumber.

What the hell is happening?

Growing up, somebody told me
that you can stop a sneeze

if you confuse your brain.

I always just
yelled "cucumber."

-Okay.
-I have to sneeze.

But if I sneeze, then I'm
going to lose control.

This is insane, okay? I
can get us all out of here.

-I just need to go first.
-No.

There's got to be another way.

Oh, no.

-Cucumber! Cucumber!
-Cucumber! Cucumber!

All right! Come on! Okay,
just give me this. I got it!

You selfish prick.

Yet, you're all safe.

I made a tactical decision

to secure my own safety
and ensure all yours.

Pretty ungrateful if
you ask me, but...

You gonna make it, Bobby?

Looks like you might have
missed arm, leg and chest day.

-John?
-What?

Are you watching him?

What? I'm doing it.
I'm watching him.

-John.
-What, Olivia? What?

-Please.
-I'm watching him. He's fine.

You're in your phone.

Look, you don't like
the way that I do it,

then you can do
it yourself, okay?

It's okay. It's okay.

Walker.

Uh...

What the hell are you doing?

I'm fine.

All right, let's
get out of here.

Okay, we need to
come up with a plan.

-Here's what we're gonna do.
-You're the boss now? Cute.

Yeah, it's our only chance
of getting out of here, so...

Okay, I think I might
just surrender, probably.

Okay, fine. Every
man for himself.

Why should you be in charge?

You almost killed all
of us right there.

Well, let's see. I've
been in the trenches

of every war-torn
country on this planet,

rescued God knows
how many hostages

and shook the hands
of two US presidents.

What else? Uh...

Oh, high school state football
champs back-to-back-to-back.

Go Bears.

Oh, wow. When I was five, I
was in a peewee soccer team

called the West Chesapeake
Valley Thunderbolts

sponsored by Shane's Tire Shop.

We won zero games,

and one time, this girl, Mindy,

she did a poo at midfield.

Anyone else have any pointless
childhood stories to tell?

Grew up in a lab prison.

Meth-addicted
sign-twirling chicken.

It was a summer job.

Right. Okay, here's the plan.

We set off an explosion
to bring them in.

No. Too many variables
with an explosion.

They turn on their night vision.

You handle the first
wave, but you wait for me

after I've blinded
the remaining troops.

I'm just going to wait for ya?

It will only work if you wait.

Terrible plan.

Ava, you...

...find an escape vehicle.

Uh, what about me?

You stay behind me, Bob.

Let's do this.

What's the latest?

We're dug in, ma'am.

Got it covered from all angles.

There's no way out.

Breach team ready at the front.

It's going to be
non-lethal protocol.

Non-lethal? No one told
me this was non-lethal.

Well, I'm telling you now, Holt.

It's just...

I've spent a lot of time
planning for lethal.

Then change the plan. Okay?

There's somebody inside there

I don't want
catching any strays.

Get down!

Strike Team 4, enter now.

Non-lethal.

In one minute, these
all go back on.

Okay.

Maybe I should have a gun?

Hmm. No, I don't think so.

But we are gonna need...

We're gonna need to
fight, right? So...

Mm-hmm. I will fight.
You stay behind me.

The medical trial was
supposed to make me better,

and, I don't know, I feel
like maybe I could help.

I thought you said that you
didn't know anything about it.

No, not much. I just remember
they said it was for people

who wanted to make something
better of themselves.

Mmm.

You can trust me, Bob.

Can I?

No, not really.

I... I've always had these
episodes since I was a kid.

There's a... There's a high,
then there's a big low,

and then my memory
just goes blank.

But this time, I
feel like there's...

I don't know,
something bad happened

or I did something bad.

I mean, everyone here
has done bad things.

I think this was like
a whole new kind of...

Oh.

Lights up.

No. Why... Why
did that not work?

Well, you got to turn
the power back on.

I mean, you got
to blind the guys.

-Yeah, I know that, Bob.
-That was your plan.

You're not being helpful, Bob.

Give me that. Follow me.

I hate to say it, but I think
Walter was right on this one.

His name is Walker, Bob.

Turn on the lights, Yelena.

I got to do everything myself.

I will repeat,

Tango Foxtrot Lima
requesting report.

Next team up, get in there!

-Where is he?
-He's gone.

Every man for himself, right?

-Shit.
-Oh.

Get down!

-I can help.
-Stay behind me.

Bob, stay!

That's it. You're done.

No, wait! I can help!

-Take this!
-Yes! How... How do I use it?

You point and shoot.

Shit.

-Sorry!
-A little higher!

-That was awesome.
-Not at me!

No! Stop! Stop shooting!

Stop! Stop! It's
me! It's John! Stop!

-Where were you?
-Where were you?

The explosion fried the wires.

I told you, too many variables.

I knew it.

-And then, you didn't wait.
-I did wait! And the...

What's going on in there?

Do we need to go lethal?

Okay.

We probably got about 60 seconds

until they mobilize.

And if ghost lady actually
did what she was supposed to,

maybe we'll all get
out of here alive.

I don't really want
to be carried anymore.

Shut up, Bob. You're
injured, remember?

We need a truck.

Where's Ava?

She's gone. Of
course she's gone.

Now what?

Hey! Get in.

You going to be
okay back here?

-Yeah. All good.
-Yeah? Okay.

Second time you came back.

This was the only way out, okay?

-That's all.
-All right.

Oh, shit.

All right. Just, uh, let
me do the talking, okay?

-Oh, my God.
-Here we go.

Identify yourself, soldiers.

Part of the medical team.

Need to get the wounded
to the hospital.

Medical bay's set
up north side.

Nah, medical bay
won't suffice.

We were headed off-base.

No one leaves the premises

until mission is completed.

Orders are no deviations
from protocol.

Identify yourself.

-No.
-Oh, wow, masterful.

Remove your helmets
and identify yourself.

Now, soldiers!

You are messing
with the wrong...

Hey!

Over here!

Oh, no. Bob helped.

Open fire. End this
now. I want him toes up.

What the hell are you doing?

This has gone far...

Cease fire! Cease fire!

Cease fire!

Come on. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.
That's why he did it.

What the...

Is that...

Mel, I need you to connect
me to our satellites.

I need to know exactly where
he's going, and I need it now.

I, uh... I think he's
coming back down.

-No. No, no, no.
-Oh, shit.

Oh, God.

I'll call an Uber.

Jesus Christ.

I know. What was that?

That was her.

She did that to him.

Well, she turned him into
a tomahawk cruise missile.

You were right, she
definitely wants us dead.

To test on someone like
that, it's inhuman.

Yeah, she's lost it.

Nope. She's found it.

And she'll use it.

What is this?

"Power of a thousand
exploding suns."

"Golden Guardian of Good."

That's a mouthful.

Wow.

Sentry.

Very shiny, I'll give them that.

What do you know about this?

There was a rumor that
OXE was on the verge

of some kind of
big breakthrough.

Whatever it was was
way too extreme.

Test subjects were dying.

When the government
looked into it,

Val shut it down.

She put me on cleanup duty.

Let's just make it home
without getting cratered.

Might need new homes.

Anybody hungry?

Cactus berry.

Let me see here.

So, um, that woman
back there that I...

You knew her?

Yeah, I did.

She had a tough life.

She killed a lot of people,
and then she got killed.

Same as us someday.

It's a shit life.

Yeah, well...

what other life can we have?

Says the guy with the
Norman Rockwell family

waiting for him at home.

Yeah.

How do you do it?

Well, you just keep
working at it every day.

Never give up.

Beautiful.

Dr. Phil, that was
really beautiful.

Yeah. You know that show's
not on anymore, right?

Yeah, it is. I watch it.

Nah, it got canceled
a few years ago.

It was a good show
while it was on,

but it's not on anymore.

Gotta be like a YouTube thing.
They took him off cable.

Well, it isn't great.

Seven local outlets

have picked up the
story of the blast.

One has already connected
the vault to OXE.

And I have 15 messages from
concerned House members

on our side of the aisle.

You know, I don't
say it enough,

but I am so impressed

that in circumstances like this,

you can still get me
a good cup of coffee.

It's extraordinary.

Thank you.

Okay, time to pivot.

I'm gonna need a new
team of scientists.

And I want them
there when we arrive.

Okay. DC?

Mm-mmm. No. The new place.

Oh. But, uh, we
stopped mid-renovation.

When we shut down the project.

Exactly. We're
officially unshut down.

What about Yelena
and the others?

Nothing yet.

Get rid of them, Mel.

They're the last
piece of evidence.

On it.

Let me know when our boy in
the box gets to New York.

Those birds are way too high.

They're doing recon
loops at 4,000 feet.

I mean, they don't know
what they're doing.

They'll be five or ten
clicks away in no time.

All right, Walker, we get
it. You were in the military.

Five or ten clicks to the bird.

There.

Uh, it's a... I
don't... What is that?

Oh, no.

What?

It's coming right at us.

-Who is that?
-It's no one.

It's nothing.

-Oh, God.
-Yelena!

It's your dad!

Don't go in the vault!

Valentina's gonna
burn you alive!

Yelena!

So, I finagled

to pick up Miss de
Fontaine at fancy event.

I figure good networking,

but as soon as I overhear
the coordinates of the vault,

I rush home, I get
the tactical beast.

And then, I drive straight here.

Oh, America's so big.

You ever drive through Oklahoma?

It's so flat.

Oh, I forgot to tell you,

don't drink from the
Big Gulp back there.

Alexei, have you slept?

I'll sleep when I'm dead!

Uh, I'd like not to die today.

So maybe somebody else
should be driving.

Mr. Walker,

second coming of
Captain America.

You and I have lot
in common, you know?

I too was state-sponsored
super soldier in Russia.

Mmm. But also very different

because Walker actually
knows what he's doing.

And Ghost. Ah,
what a magician.

You disappear. You reappear.

When you reappear,
does sometimes things

not pop up in right place?

Oh. I find it best just
to ignore him sometimes.

What impressive friends
you've assembled, Yelena.

We are not friends, Alexei.

Nah. We're just
disposable delinquents.

Whatever you are,

the light inside you
is brighter, Yelena.

How about this?

You are a team of
scrappy antiheroes.

-Yeah. Go Thunderbolts.
-What?

-Yelena...
-Oh, my God.

You named them after
your peewee soccer club?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

The West Chesapeake
Valley Thunderbolts.

Sponsored by

Dmitri's Elite Industrial
Lighting and Electronics.

No, no.

Never won a game,

but Yelena had so much fun.

There was a girl who pooped...

-No. It was... It was not...
-...in one game.

It was crazy. I was
yelling at the ref.

It was sponsored by
Shane's Tire Shop.

-Shane?
-Yes.

-What's this talk of Shane?
-It was.

He didn't have
that kind of money.

-Yes, it was.
-No! Shane? What a joke.

You really need to sleep.

Okay. What about this
Bob you mentioned?

What's the plan?
Where am I driving?

It's not like that.

We need to escape
and we need to hide.

Yeah, way smarter
for us to split up.

There's actually an
airfield not far from here.

We'll just disappear from there.

Split up? No, no, no.

You may not see what I see,

but I have been
around long time.

No shit.

This has the makings of a
team that can raise to glory.

A team that can bring
light from the darkness.

A team of heroes that can
be on the Wheaties box

-and have little kiddie toy...
-No, no.

This is not a marketing
opportunity, okay?

Valentina is hunting
us, and we cannot win.

Do you understand?

-You don't understand.
-I do. You don't.

Look, you say that Valentina
is going to use the power

-of this Sentry Project...
-Yes.

...to take over
and kill us all.

Then you need to
stand up to her.

You and your team.

You got a convoy
approaching fast.

-Step on it.
-Aye, aye, Captain.

Is that it?

-Okay, any time now.
-Yeah. We're working on it.

-A little bit faster.
-Takes a second.

Alexei!

-Alexei!
-Okay! Don't worry!

Don't worry. She's
bulletproof, huh?

Engaging defensive measures.

What the hell?

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit. Wait, that's
not supposed to do that.

Oh, my God.

Come on.

Who are you driving?

Walker, shield!

What happened to "bulletproof"?

-Bulletproof-ish.
-Jesus Christ!

God, everyone's a critic today!

Time to break out
the bottle service.

Come on, Ghost, give
me the good stuff.

Okay, not really appropriate.

Vodka! Vodka, now!

Oh, my God. This
is so not the time.

What's wrong with you?

No, no, no!

Give me a break.

Okay, I'll be back. I hope.

Yelena! What are you doing?

There's nothing you can do.

What?

It's Bucky!

The Winter Soldier.

That's what I talk about!

-Yes! Yeah!
-Woo!

Oh, sh...

Congressman!

Why did you call an
emergency session

of the impeachment committee?

What I can say

is that I've gotten a
tip from a trusted cohort

that will be bringing
some new evidence in,

and that evidence is juicy.

The impeachment was
just an appetizer.

They should be getting
a nice, cozy cell

in federal prison ready
for Miss Fontaine.

I just got word

the impeachment committee
is convening tonight.

This is serious, Val.

Were you able to get the
lab fully operational?

Yes, but the rest
of the building

is only 70% finished.

Okay. Mel, we'll get it there.

Welcome to the Watchtower.

Val?

Something happened in Malaysia.

Have you read his file?

Delusions of
grandeur, depression.

Someone that imbalanced
amplified by the treatment...

The people in the labs, they
were just test subjects.

They were never
gonna be the one.

Does this look nurturing enough?

Very nurturing.

Hi. How... How are
you feeling, Robert?

Are you comfortable?

Yeah.

My name is Valentina
Allegra de Fontaine.

Oh, no, no, no. You...
You tried to kill us,

didn't you?

Let me explain. Would...
Would you like that?

Yeah.

You signed up for a
medical study which was,

as advertised,

at the cutting edge
of human improvement.

But not everybody could handle

the amount of greatness
that we had in mind.

What happened to Yelena?

Yelena? Oh.

Well, those people
you were with,

those are not honest people.

They're criminals.
Villains, really.

No, no. They... They helped me.

Robert.

Let's just forget about
them, and let's focus on you.

And how perfect you are.

Perfect, huh?

You always thought of
yourself as a victim.

But you overcame.

You went to Malaysia.

You were lost, right?
You were searching.

And you found me.

How... How do you
know all that?

I know all of it.

I know about your
mom's mental illness.

I know about your addiction
and your juvenile record.

I mean, I even know about
the times your father...

Stop! No, no, no.

I didn't say you
could know that.

Robert, I know
everything about you.

And I still want
you to be my guy.

And isn't that what you want?

To be accepted? To be chosen?

No one else sees it,

but I do.

And I think maybe your past
is what makes you so perfect.

Stay quiet, Valentina.

Completely quiet, no
matter what you hear.

You promise me?

Did I do something wrong?

The man in town
asked where we live.

He said he was your
friend, so I told him.

Yes, well he was.

Remember I told you
not to talk to anyone?

Yes, daddy. I'm so sorry.

It's okay. Just
stay hidden for me.

You know...

I've been in this
business a long time.

There's always someone
like you, smart, but cocky.

A hungry dog who already
had a bone in his mouth.

Let's have a drink, shall we?

You still think you're
getting away with this.

Don't worry, I'll look out
for your sweet Valentina.

Would you excuse me
just for a moment?

No. All right.
Wait. Wait. Wait.

I can control it.

Great.

All right.

Let's get the press
here in the morning.

It's time to show everyone
what I've been working on.

Val, you put a serum into
someone like Steve Rogers,

he becomes Captain America,

but you do it to
someone this unstable,

I mean, who knows
what it did to him?

That's why we build
in safeguards.

Didn't we make a kill switch?

Yeah, but we threw it out
along with everything else.

Well, then remake it.

I don't really care
who this guy was.

I do know what he can become.

Get the press here like I asked.

No, no, no, no!

Just when I get
my team together.

Mr. Soldier, you are
making terrible mistake.

Save it for the committee.

What committee?

You're all evidence

in the impeachment
trial against Valentina.

We don't even work
for Valentina anymore.

She tried to kill us.

We were ordered to destroy
all of her secrets,

but really, we were just
sent to kill each other

in this vault.

-But then we met Bob.
-Yeah. Bob.

There was a man in the vault.

She's done something to him.

It's called Project Sentry.

Okay, he shot up into
the sky. He exploded.

And then he crashed
into this mountain,

and then he died, didn't die...

Yes, I got it. He's
very, very scary.

-So rude.
-Okay.

"Congressman Barnes."

All right, Walker.

What's that supposed to mean?

Means you know me, Bucky.

So cut the shit and listen to
what we're trying to tell you.

Yeah, I know you, John,

and you made your choices.

I know it's been hard

since Olivia left you
and took your kid,

but still, this is on you.

Bucky, there won't be
a committee left. Okay?

There might not even
be a government.

She has some big...

Threat. Yes. I got it.

Named "Bob" or "Sentry"
who flies. Right?

And you're all heroes

going after Val,
ready to save the day.

Am I supposed to believe that?

We weren't going
after her together.

We were just trying to
get home alive, actually.

That's even more pathetic.

Yeah, I know. That's what
I've been telling them.

-Shut up.
-No, you shut up.

All right. Plane
lands in six minutes.

-Will you be quiet?
-Yes?

Bucky, I need your help.

What is it?

Val has gone off the rails.

I mean, Project Sentry,
it's not just a failure,

it's dangerous.

Project Sentry?

She has too much
power in her hands.

And this guy is a disaster
waiting to happen.

-What guy?
-Bob.

Bob?

Bob!

We're at the old
Avengers place.

The press are set to
come tomorrow morning.

Someone has to do something.

Shit. Okay, I... I have to
go. But come now, please.

Bring anyone.
Everyone you can.

Bob.

-Bob.
-How many times?

I know.

It's bad, Bucky.

Hang on. What are you doing?

I'm letting you go.
You're coming with me.

Why?

For the glory.

Well, you know Valentina.

She's got this thing out there.

People are gonna get hurt,
and I gotta stop her.

And you are gonna help me.

Wait. Us?

Why? You got some place to be?

Bucky, you have
the wrong people.

Look, I've been where you are.

You can run, but
it doesn't go away.

Sooner or later it
catches up to you,

and when it does, it's too late.

So you can either do
something about it now,

or live with it forever.

Stop Val and save Bob.

-Fine.
-Mmm?

Yeah.

Go on, then.

Yes!

Yeah!

What'd you think this
job was gonna be?

I don't know. I hope
I've done some good.

"Good."

Good girl. Good enough.

You want to be good?

Or do you want to be somebody
who changes the world?

Can't I be both?

I mean, I thought you
wanted to change the world

for the better too.

Mel, righteousness without
power is just an opinion.

Look, you're brought
up to believe

that there's a good
guy and a bad guy.

But then eventually,
you come to realize

that there's a bad
guy and a worse guy.

And nothing else.

Let me know when to
come to your senses.

Um, I don't know.

Okay, yeah. We just try again.

Yeah.

Let's just focus.

Mmm.

I believe in you.

I can do that?

You can do anything.

People think they know you.

They just see you as "Bob."

They pity Bob.

I'm the only one who knows

what your true
potential is, Robert.

And it's limitless.

Ready for the next lesson?

And then I have these
little, Widow...

...bite things.

-And in the left...
-Yeah. I... I remember.

And then I have this 19.

Forty-five. The long barrel.

Mmm.

-Wow. It's big.
-Yeah. Well, it's...

-It's long.
-Mmm.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Okay, it's a little long.
-Yeah. Big gun.

And, uh... your...
what about your hat?

Uh, the hat? The... The helmet?

Yeah. Whatever you
want to call it.

It's, like, cool.
Right? You like it?

Do... Do you like the hat?

Yeah, I think the
hat's pretty...

-pretty sweet.
-Then, cool.

What kind of super
serum did you get?

I don't know. Regular. Hydra.

Hydra? Oh.

-Fancy.
-Yes.

Mine was Soviet recreation.
But it's still good, you know?

-We are same. You and me.
-Well...

I mean, we are different,
but we are same.

You know, we could be
coleaders in this, huh?

Little different.

You get tired, I drive.

Huh?

I don't get tired.

No, I mean metaphorically.

I don't actually want to drive.

Are we there yet?

-Almost!
-Almost!

Okay. Mr. Soldier, what
is secret plan, huh?

The plan?

Yeah.

I like this plan.

Jesus, you guys,

I literally just
put that drywall in.

I left the door
unlocked for you.

Come up.

How crazy is it to think of
all the monumental fights

that happened exactly here
where you're standing?

Eh. I don't really care.

I mean, the place wasn't cheap,

but it's got good optics.

Well, it's over, Valentina.

This ends today.

Congressman Barnes, wow.

You know, I never really thought

you'd have a promising
political career.

But less than half a term?

Yikes.

We're taking you in, Val.

I don't think so.

Junior Varsity
Captain America.

Walker.

Oh, nice to see you, Ava.

Yelena. You look awful.

You sure you're really ready

for that public facing
role you asked me about?

Eat shit, Valentina.
Where's Bob?

Look at you. You
are all so adorable.

Just think, I send you down
there to kill each other,

and instead, you make
nice and you form a team.

Who's this old Santa?

I'm Alexei Shostakov.

The Red Guardian.

What?

-Where's Mel?
-Mel?

Oh, Mel. Yeah.

Uh, Mel is having a
little loyalty issue.

But I'm just so grateful

that she stayed long
enough to lure you all in.

I'm not alone.

Robert?

Oh, my God.

That's Bob?

Yeah, he's changed a little.

It is my great honor

to introduce to you The Sentry.

Hey, guys.

Wow. That's cool name.

All-powerful. Invincible.

Stronger than all of the
Avengers rolled into one.

And soon to be known as
Earth's mightiest hero.

Have you dyed your hair?

Yeah. Well, it was...

Yeah, it was my idea.

People love a classic hero.

Okay, I'll bite.
What's the plan?

You haven't figured
it out yet, Bucky?

Geez.

Well, at least
you're kind of cute.

You're not going to hurt people.

Oh, no.

No, I'm not gonna hurt people.

I'm gonna hurt you.

You see, the press is
on their way here now.

And they're gonna witness
the awesome power of Sentry

as he takes down this ruthless
group of rogue agents,

thus beginning a new era

in which I decide how to keep
the American people safe,

answering to no one.

I'll be unimpeachable.

That's... never gonna happen.

Sentry, your first mission is
to take out these criminals.

I don't wanna hurt you guys.

Why don't you just
turn yourselves in?

No, you don't wanna
do this, Bobby.

You can call me The Sentry.

Please, don't do this.

You do not need
to listen to her.

Robert, they don't think
you're good enough.

-That's not true.
-Remember?

You can trust me. I know you.

I don't think that you do.

Enough talking!

No one messes

with the West Chesapeake
Valley Thunderbolts!

Thunderbolts?

Hey. No, no, no! No!

Wait!

Bob, no!

Alexei, wait!

Stop, Bob.

I'm so glad you were
able to catch a glimpse

before your, uh...

retirement.

Camera crews are assembling.

Finish the job, Robert.

Finish the job?

No.

What?

They're not a threat to me,
so why do I need to kill them?

You need to do
what I say, Robert.

Why?

"Why"?

Okay. We need new plan.

Nah, no new plans.

That thing is just too powerful.

We just need to
regroup and think.

There's got to be a
way to stop that guy.

Oh, my God. We're
not regrouping.

-This isn't even a team.
-Of course we're a team.

We are the Thunderbolts.

I don't know what that means.

It's her peewee soccer
team thing. It's...

We need to go somewhere
to discuss this.

-Discuss what?
-We are going to regroup.

We are going to
go back in there.

He turned my shield into a taco.

Oh, my God! Stop.

There is no "us."
There is no "we."

Bob changed into that thing,

and there's nothing any
of you can do about it.

And what did you do exactly?

'Cause I seem to remember
you getting your arse beat

way worse than mine.

Yeah. Yeah. I
suck. I'm terrible.

We're all terrible.

Ava, you're not a hero.
You're not even a good person.

Bitch.

See?

Slow down. Um-nichka.

Alexei, I am not your um-nichka.

I haven't heard from you
or seen you in a year.

Okay, go easy on him.

-Oh, so you're nice now?
-Is it my turn?

No, you know you're a
piece of trash, Walker.

So does your family.

Jesus.

We're all losers.

And we lost.

Yelena!

It... It needs to be
more of a collaboration.

Like, the hair, for example.

Maybe... Maybe I should
have had more of a say.

Don't let those idiots
get in your head.

The blond is great.

You sure? 'Cause,
I don't know,

I thought I liked it.
Now I'm not so sure.

Enough about the hair.

Well, it's not just
about the hair.

Well, you keep talking
about the hair.

No, it's everything. My
suit. My name. My missions.

I mean...

why...

why would a god take
orders from anyone at all?

I think you're throwing
around the word "god"

a bit loosely there.

No, no. Because you said I
was all-powerful, invincible,

and stronger than a
whole team of Avengers,

which includes at
least one god, so...

But I'm starting to think

maybe you don't know what I am.

Oh, goddamn it.

Or what I'm capable of.

Maybe I need to show you.

This is so irritating.

You were gonna turn on me,

just like the rest of them.

I'm not afraid of you, Robert.

It's not Robert you
need to be afraid of.

Good girl.

You came to your senses.

Come here. Help me up.

-I want a raise.
-Hmm.

Okay, fine.

Get cleanup on the body.

And tell Holt it's finally time

to go lethal on these losers.

Yelena!

-Little one.
-Go away.

No, I will not.

Well, then, chase me forever.

Fine, I will, because
that's what family does.

Oh, my God, stop.

If you cared, you
would have called.

I would have heard from you.

I lost my sister
again, but forever.

And you disappeared.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how to do this.

I'm not good at it.

I didn't think you wanted me.

I did.

I see that.

I'm late, but
I'm... I'm here now.

Daddy, I'm so alone.

I don't have anything anymore.

All I do is sit and
look at my phone

and think of all the terrible
things that I've done.

And then I go to work.
And then I drink.

And then I come home to no one.

And I sit

and I think about all the
terrible things I've done

-again and again.
-Yelena, stop. Stop.

And I go crazy.

We all have things
that we regret.

No, but I have so many.

My first test at the Red Room.

Anya. She was just a child.

-She was so small.
-So were you.

I know.

I know there were dark
times. Very, very dark times.

But before, you were such
a special little girl.

Did you know this?

You walked into a room.
You made it brighter.

You felt a lot of joy.

I don't remember that feeling.

You were so kind.

Do you remember why
you want to be goalie

on your terrible soccer team?

I...

So I didn't have to run as much.

No.

Maybe that too, but you told me,

"I want to be the one
everyone can rely on

if they make a mistake."

That Lena is still in you.

I still see her.

I don't.

You're stuck. You're alone.
You look only at the bad.

When I look at you, I
don't see your mistakes.

That's why we need each other.

Okay, that was really good.

-Val?
-Yeah?

It's cleanup from the penthouse,

and they're saying,
well, there's no body.

What?

I don't know what I'm
looking at up here.

It doesn't look good.

Aren't you tired of fighting?

Let me help you.

Holt, are you seeing this?

Is that...

Oh, no.

It's time.

Follow me!

Go, go! Go!

Dad!

Come on. You've got
to... You've got to...

Mom?

You're safe, little one.

You all know the truth.

You can't outrun the emptiness.

I think Bob's dark
side got superpowers.

-Get everybody off the street.
-Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

Come on! Come on!
Go, go, go, go!

Everybody! Come on! Come on!

-Go, go, go!
-Go, go! Inside, inside!

Go, everyone, inside!

Let's go! Get in. Get in.

Yelena!

-Come on.
-Go, go, go!

Yelena, what are you doing?

It's what you said.

We're all alone.

All of us.

Wait!

Yelena!

-No, no, no! No! No, no!
-Hey, hey, hey. Come on.

Yelena!

Yelena, c'mon!

Lunch will be over soon.

Why'd you bring us so far out?

Anya, over here!

I'm sorry.

Bob!

Yelena!

No. No.

No, no, no!

No! No, no, no! No!

It's too late
for that, friend.

Yelena!

Bob!

Bob! We don't have
time for this.

Stop.

There you are.

-I'm going after her.
-And then what?

If she did that, she
did it for a reason.

Well, what if she's dead, huh?

What if there's no coming back?

What if she isn't?

How do you know that?

No, no, no, wait, hold on.

I think she might have a point.

When... When I was back in
the vault, I-I saw something.

I-I went somewhere. I
can't explain it, but...

What did you see?

Enough, Bob.

Enough.

Yelena?

Hi.

Hey.

I just want to talk, okay?

About what?

About the stuff we spoke
about in the vault.

Hi.

What's up?

Um...

Not much. You know, just
watching New York disappear

into a big maze of
interconnected shame rooms.

You ever seen anything
crazy like that before?

I... I don't know what
you want me to say.

That you'll stop.

Oh, it's not "me" me.

It's-It's-It's "It."

The Void.

I... I have these
good days, you know?

Where I feel... I
feel invincible.

But then there are
a lot of bad days

when I remember that nothing...

nothing matters, you know?

So you're just gonna sit
here and let it take over?

Well, there's no
use in fighting it.

At least I found a nice room.

The other rooms are much worse.

It is nice and quiet here, yeah.

What was that?

Disrespected in my own house!

Don't mind them.

It'll be over soon.

Say it again! Say
it again, Annie!

I... I shouldn't
have. I'm sorry.

Don't touch her.

Big man speaks up.

-Bob, shut your mouth.
-Mom, no.

My son, the hero. Look at you.

-What are you gonna do?
-Bob. Sit down.

You a hero, Bobby?

Sit down. You're
making it worse.

You always made it worse.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

What I said to you
before was wrong, Bob.

You can't stuff it down.

You can't hold it in all alone.

No one can.

We have to let it out.

We have to spend time together.

And even if it doesn't
make the emptiness go away,

I promise you it
will feel lighter.

How do you know?

Because it already has for me.

We can find a way
out of here together.

Will you try and
leave here with me?

Okay.

Look out!

Who's doing this, Bob?

I think I am.

Just try to get
used to it, okay?

There's no death here.
The pain only gets worse.

Evil pillow!

Lena.

You came for us.

What did you see?
Are you okay?

Oh, I'm fine.

I have a great past,
so I'm totally fine.

Yeah, this place is messed up.

We're here together.

That's what matters.

Thank you, guys. Really.

Of course.

Here we are, Shane's Elite
Electronic Thunderbolts.

It's not Shane.

Okay, okay. Just how-how
do we get out of here?

I mean, as... as far as I
know, it's just endless rooms.

Wait, you said that this was
the nicest room you found

and the others are
way worse, right?

Yeah.

Okay, well, show us the worst.

Where do you think
you're going, Robert?

Well, he seems nice.

The strangest mission
I've ever been part of.

-This way!
-Go, go, go!

Come on!

Oh, no.

Bob, you hit me with that
sign one more time...

I was on meth!

This way!

Come on. Come on. Go.

I've been here before.

This is where it started.

I was roaming around
Southeast Asia,

thought I'd figure
something out,

or at least find more drugs.

Then there was this guy,

started talking to me
about a... a medical study.

A trial drug that
could make me stronger.

Felt like a miracle.

I'd finally get to show
everyone that I was more.

That I was...

something.

And look what you unleashed.

The most shameful
thing of all was

thinking you could
be anything more than

nothing.

We're leaving.

No.

Stop.

Just... let... let them go.

Wait. You think
they care about you?

You don't matter.

To anyone.

That's not true.

No!

Don't hurt her.

Robert, the hero.

I'm stronger than you.

Let's see.

Get up, Bobby.

You thought you were
gonna be some great man?

Some savior?

You can't even save yourself.

We will always be alone.

Is that all you've got?

This isn't right.

Bob, stop!

This is what he wants!

I'm here.

It will always be just us.

I'm here. You are not alone.

Come on.

Sweetie.

You were great in there, Bob.

Thanks, Walker.

Hey, wait, in where?

Whoa.

What happened here?

Sorry, I'm... I'm just a
little... I'm a little fuzzy.

Okay. Are you serious?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yes. I need an
extraction right now.

What? No. I don't have backup.

I need help.

I'm going to kill that person.

Okay. Wait, wait,
wait. Hold on.

What happens when he
regains his memory?

-Okay. Come on.
-Oh, me too?

Yep. We stick
together from now on.

That's nice.

Can't kill her. We
gotta take her in.

Can't kill her.

Maybe when we take her
in, I break a few bones.

Oh, I'd like to kill her.

Maybe when he does
get his memory back,

he can fix this stupid thing.

At least let me break her legs.

Okay, guys.

Then you can drag her.

I know we're all having a
lot of feelings right now.

-I am too. I get it.
-Hi.

Give me half... half a second.

Are we live?

Great.

For years, I have
been working secretly

to develop a new
age of protection.

Today, the citizens of
the United States needed

that protection.

And thanks to my hard
work, they got it.

Ladies and gentlemen...

meet...

the new Avengers.

We own you now.

Wow, so many choices, huh?

Hard to decide.

Oh, look, Wheaties. Wow.

With its toasted
wholewheat flakes,

wholegrain, vitamins.

Give you energy.
Good for kids, huh?

Okay.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

That's me on the box.

? And we can Build
this dream together ?

? Standing strong forever ?

? Nothing's gonna
Stop us now ?

? And if this world
Runs out of lovers ?

? We'll still
have Each other ?

? Nothing's gonna stop us ?

? Nothing's gonna stop us ?

? Ooh ?

? All that I need is you ?

? All that I ever need ?

? And all that I want to do ?

? Is hold you forever ?

? Forever and ever ?

? Hey! ?

? And we can build
This dream together ?

? Standing strong forever ?

? Nothing's gonna
Stop us now ?

? And if this world
Runs out of lovers ?

? We'll still
have Each other ?

? Nothing's gonna stop us ?

-? Nothing's gonna stop us ?
-? And we can ?

? Build this dream together
Standing strong forever ?

? Nothing's gonna
Stop us now ?

But we are the Avengers.
The government said so.

How does Sam Wilson
not understand that?

Well, he does have the shield.

-Well, I got a shield too.
-It's not a shield.

-Yeah, it is a shield.
-It's a shitty shield.

It's a great shield, Bucky.

Okay, if he puts
together a team,

and then the team is
called the Avengers,

who are the real Avengers?

Well, that's the question
the Internet has been asking,

and judging by the very
nasty memes that I've read,

they don't think that it's us.

Weren't you going
to talk to him?

I already did.

-And?
-It went poorly.

I don't know what any
of these buttons do.

It's unbelievable they
didn't mark any of them.

You know he's filed for
copyright of the name?

-Did he?
-We're losing credibility.

Which we had very
little to begin with.

And now there's this
huge space crisis,

and no one's
telling us about it.

We're running out of space
already? It's impossible.

This building is enormous.

-What?
-Outer space.

Outer space.

Run a threat analysis.
I want a full report.

Running threat analysis.

Hello, team.

The hell are you wearing?

I heard about Sam Wilson.

He's dumb, litigious
man, but I am smart.

I am smart man. I
have smart solve.

Avengerz.

Avengerz.

With a 'Z, ' there
is no copyright.

-No.
-So soft too.

Feel like bottom of baby seal.

You want to... you
want to savor that?

I don't want to touch
your baby seal butt.

-I have one for you.
-I don't want it.

I have one for
you. I got you one.

I got you one.

And for you, Bob, in
the corner hiding,

pretending to read the book.

We're all matching.
All part of super team!

Unidentified craft
entering orbit.

You should get a
satellite image.

-Uh. Get a satellite image.
-And fire up...

And fire... I was gonna say
that. And fire up the jets.

We wouldn't need
to fire up the jets

if we had a Sentry
who could fly.

I know... Sorry. Sorry, guys.

Can't be the Sentry without
the, you know, other side.

I did the dishes though.

And what are we gonna do,
just ride Bob into the sky?

Yes. Can you
imagine Red Guardian

riding on top of Sentry,

cresting over the clouds?

This is why we are
Avengers with a 'Z.'

Satellite image populating.

Extra dimensional ship
entering atmosphere.

Extra dimensional?
What does that mean?

It's a... it's a cool ship.
