Thank you.

Steve-O, how you doing, buddy?

Real good, man.

Good. Well, where you been? I figured you got out of the Marines two weeks

ago. Well, I've been coming down the coast slow and easy. You know, kicking

back. Pretty mellow set of wheels.

Yeah.

Gonna be my home on the road for the next few years. All right.

Hey, did I get any mail? Yeah, I think a couple. Hey, take this.

Hey, thanks, man.

You're welcome.

The first telegram I've gotten from this guy, Simon Mills.

Three at the base and one waiting for me here.

What's he selling? Who knows?

Something wrong?

Can I use your phone?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, it's good to hear your voice again, Steve.

Hey, listen, I just got your letter.

Can you tell me what's wrong?

Not at the moment.

I've got to see you.

Can you come over to the house?

Yeah. I'm just up the coast. I could be there in a little while.

I'm going to be stuck here until late tonight.

How about 9 o'clock?

Fine. I can see that Guy Mills and Thousand Oaks on the way into L.A.

I'll see you at 9.

You need me, you got me. You know that.

I'll see you tonight.

Okay.

Hey, thanks, Jerry. Yeah, sure.

Yeah, I'll be talking.

Stay well, here. Okay.

Okay, get out of there

coming at you. Pull out now.

Dr. Mills, Mr.

Steve Rogers is here. Oh, good. Ask him to come in. Come in, please.

Thank you.

Steve, I'm Simon Mills.

I'm afraid I don't place you.

Well, I'm not surprised. We've never met, though I feel I've known you ever

since you were a kid.

Your father was my doctoral advisor.

I assisted him in most of his experiments.

I used to get daily reports on his son, the motorcycle racer and motocross

expert. Yeah, well, that was a while ago.

You're still right.

Yeah, just for the fun of it now.

Oh, I'm glad you could finally come and visit us here. I've been wanting to show

you our work.

Why? I mean, why me?

Well, for one thing, everything we do here is based on your father's primary

research. Were you familiar with that at all, Steve?

No, he never really talked about it much.

I just knew it was very important to him.

Your father developed and perfected the ultimate steroid.

He synthesized it from his own adrenal gland and then, through long research,

developed a super hormone.

He called it FLAG.

That's right. F-L-A-G.

Full Latent Ability Gain.

Not sure I'm following you.

Well, science has known for a long time that man, in all of his endeavors,

mental, physical, uses...

Very rarely more than one-third of his capacity.

And with Flagg?

Close to 100%. Come on over here. I'll show you what I mean.

This little guy is the world's weightlifting champion. Watch.

In human terms, he's lifting something over 2,100 pounds.

Flagg?

He was injected four days ago.

That's fantastic.

running the human equivalent of 57 miles an hour.

But he's also dying.

Dying? And so is the weightlifter.

I've had six years of failure, Steve.

Dr. Day, who has taken over for me, has had three.

Using your father's cultures, we've duplicated the formula, we've produced

the serum, and we've seen it work time and time again.

There's a tremendous increase in strength and agility.

And each time...

Within two weeks after injection, the test animals slowly madden and die.

You have any idea why?

Cell rejection.

Same problem they had in the early heart transplants, if you remember.

You see, Steve, we're still using the original formulations left

us by your father.

And that's why I asked you to come here.

He developed the serum out of his own cells.

The same cells he gave by natural process to his only child.

You.

All I'm asking is that you let us do a few tests.

Simon! Oh, um, there's a phone call for you in my office.

I'll get back. They said it was important.

Oh, Steve, this is Dr. Wendy Day, who's in charge of flag research now.

Steve Rogers.

I won't be a minute.

Hi. Hi.

So you're in charge of flag now, huh?

Yes. Tell me something.

What's he do?

Oh, Simon spends most of his time in Washington right now.

I'm not sure exactly what he does, but I do know he talks to the president a lot.

Has he talked to you about letting us do some tests?

Yeah.

I gather you said no.

Well, I didn't say yes or no.

Steve, I wonder if you have any idea what a tragedy it was when your father

died. I mean, of course, not just for yourself, but for this entire nation.

Maybe I don't.

But he was my dad, and I loved him.

And then one day he was gone.

And all I had left was a letter from the president, a man I didn't even know.

Well, with your father, Steve, Flagg was a great deal more than just a lab

experiment. What do you mean?

I mean, he injected himself with the serum.

And it worked.

It worked, Steve.

Do you understand what that means?

Because it worked, he could accomplish things no other man could hope to.

And so...

He dedicated his life to helping the little guy in our society, to righting

wrongs that the law wouldn't or couldn't touch.

You mean he was a super crime fighter?

In one sense, I suppose you could call him that, yes.

And now you want me to take his place?

No one else can.

We're only talking about some tests, Steve.

Let me tell you something.

All my life I've been taught to live by the three words inscribed in the Statue

of West Point.

Duty, honor, country.

Hey, it hasn't been a bad life. Lots of times I feel pretty good in here.

But it's been yes, sir, no, sir.

For as long as I can remember.

Three military schools and the Marine Corps.

And that's been about it.

I think I paid my dues to Uncle the way my dad would have wanted.

Now I just want to get out on the road, look at the faces of America, maybe get

some down on campus.

I don't want to report in or check out.

I don't want to look forward to weekends.

I want every day to be the same.

I just want to kick back and find out who I am.

A friend of mine has some heavy problems right now and needs my help.

Good luck to both of you.

What do we do?

Yep.

Jeff, can you hear me?

Yeah, that's right.

prospect. Please, please hurry.

Evening, Miss Brackett.

Hayden's dead.

And the film?

What about the film?

Just the camera.

Empty. And the desk counter because he had your name written on it.

Who did you send in there, Harley?

Parker. Parker.

Just one tiny but very important little question.

What idiocy prompted Parker to kill Hayden before we got our hands on the

film? I'm sorry, Mr. Brackett, but it was an accident.

Hayden said he wasn't going to give up the film, that he changed his mind.

Parker only meant to scare him. And with his usual deft touch, Parker killed him.

Well, that film has to be in that house somewhere.

Another problem came up, Mr. Brackett.

Yeah?

While Parker was in there, Steve Rogers showed up.

Rogers, huh?

I thought we took care of him on the road we dumped oil on.

It was him.

Parker dodged him, okay, and got out while Rogers was phoning for the

paramedics. But he said Hayden told Rogers something before he died.

What did he tell him?

Parker couldn't hear it.

And it's fortunate your accident didn't work out.

Get hold of Rogers and find out if Hayden told him where that film is.

And then arrange an accident that works.

Sooner or later, Steve Rogers is going to be given that flag serum, and I want

him out of my hair before that happens. Are we clear?

Clear. I'll go tell Lester the bad news.

Mr. Brackett, you're supposed to put the dust-free gown on before you come into

the room.

I know, Lester. I'm sorry.

Did you get the film?

No, something went wrong.

Well, without that last film sequence, I can't proceed. You're aware of that.

We'll get the film.

Well, we're running out of time, and there's no way I can measure that

neutron link without Hayden's linear time equation.

We're at a dead stop.

All we have now is an exceedingly expensive and very accurate time piece,

not a neutron bomb.

The device is ready.

I'll accept the missing link.

I don't intend to fail now, Lester.

We'll have the film.

Can you remember within a minute or two what time it was when you got to the

house?

I told you it's about ten after nine.

Is that within a minute or two of being accurate?

Does it really matter?

It matters.

Hey, wait a minute. Can I ask a question?

Go ahead.

How are you involved in all this?

I'm in charge of the project Hayden was on.

I thought you were in charge of the flag project.

I'm in charge of several projects for our government.

Steve, this is Charles Barber, Los Angeles FBI.

How are you?

I'd like to ask you a couple of questions, okay?

Sure. If you can think of any that Simon hasn't already asked.

How long have you known Hayden?

All my life.

He was a close friend of my father's.

Steve, earlier today you mentioned a friend who was in trouble. Was that

Hayden? Yes.

You're sure he gave no indication of what his problem was?

Absolutely not.

And when he was dying?

He said, Catherine, my name, and please.

That's it.

Does that mean anything to you?

Anything special?

Catherine's the name of his wife.

You, of course, know what happened to her.

I know she was killed in a plane crash in Europe last year.

What about his daughter, Tina?

She's at USC. We haven't been able to locate her yet.

Oh, great.

Now, look, I would like you to look at this room very carefully for me.

And try and remember if it looks exactly the same as it did the last time that

you saw it.

Looks the same. Take your time. Take your time.

There's a very sophisticated little camera here.

It's not there now.

Anything else?

Wait a minute.

There was a death calendar here, too.

Do you remember anything written on it? A name, maybe?

No.

Inspector, Tina Hayden's downstairs.

Does she know yet?

Only that something is wrong.

She might have seen the coroner's car leaving.

Let me tell her.

It's happening. Where's Daddy?

You've got to be strong, honey.

He's dead, isn't he?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I just talked to him today.

He said that you were coming over to see us.

He sounded so happy.

I called earlier to see if anyone was home.

Thank you.

but I recommend the hospital for a day or two.

I'll call for an ambulance.

Simon?

What exactly does being in charge of these projects really mean?

How do you really figure in all this?

Let's say that Barbara and I work for the same boss.

FBI? No.

My classification is a little more complex than that. Don't explain.

I just don't want to get involved.

We're all involved in this one, Steve.

Our friend Hayden, Tina, you, me, maybe a lot more.

I'm sorry about Hayden, Steve.

Yeah.

What was he working on, Simon?

He was director of one of the most secret and carefully guarded projects

this nation has.

Its code name is Zeus.

Never heard of it.

It's the neutron bomb.

Now you can understand the implications.

The camera.

Hey, wait a minute.

Do you think Jeff was giving out information about the bomb? I think

somebody is trying to get that information. We don't know yet if Jeff

gave it to them.

I hope we're wrong.

Hey, I can't believe it.

I won't believe it.

Simon, if he was photographing classified material,

There's got to be another reason.

Jeff Hayden was no traitor.

I'll stake my life on him.

Good night, Steve.

Hello? Steve Rogers?

Yeah. Who's this?

A friend.

A friend who's very upset about what happened to Jeff Hayden.

Well, what do you know about it?

Don't interrupt.

I haven't got much time.

There's a gas station on Pine Canyon Road, about two miles north of

Interstate 5.

Do you know where that is?

Yeah. If you can be there alone in 20 minutes, I'll tell you who did that

little job tonight and why.

Wait. 20 minutes.

No more.

are you guys what have you got to tell me you got it all wrong

it's what you can tell us we're here to listen where's hayden's film strip i

have no idea he talked to you just before he died didn't he how do you know

that do i have to explain that

Dressing. Finish the dressing, please, Susan.

Yes, Doctor.

Simon, I'm afraid it's very bad.

What about the heart, Pastor?

I'm afraid it's too late. Jason, blood pressure 52 and falling.

She should have knocked you.

Is it that bad?

Medically, he's dead now.

I think there's just one chance for the vaccine.

We can't.

We don't know what... Wendy, he lost too much blood before they brought him in.

Nothing has been able to reverse the shock.

Bring me a vial of the serum from the lab, quickly.

Simon, we can't. We haven't tested. I'll take full responsibility and I'll do the

injection. I'll do as I say.

you

There's no sound rejection.

I think I've almost been had twice now, Simon.

What do you mean?

On the way over to your lab the other day, an oil truck spilled crude all over

the road and sent me flying.

I thought it was an accident.

Now I realize it wasn't.

I wish you'd told me about that earlier.

Why?

What's going on, Simon?

Who's mad at me?

I might have the answer to that, Steve, but first I, uh...

There's something I have to tell you.

You were almost gone when they brought you in here.

We tried everything, but nothing worked.

I made a decision on my own.

I felt that the flag serum would give you that one chance, a chance for your

body to use its full latent recuperative powers.

So you used it, flag?

I used it.

And you're alive.

So what happens now?

Frankly, I don't know.

But there's no cell rejection, Steve.

I was right about that.

That means I don't die like a laboratory rat? That's my guess. Your guess?

Is that the best you can give me?

Well, nothing is 100%, of course.

What I mean is... What you mean is you really don't know.

Do you?

Are you talking about a guarantee?

I'm talking about my life, Simon.

Yeah, I'd feel pretty good about a guarantee.

You're right.

But it is my best medical opinion that you will experience only beneficial

results from the serum dosage.

Beneficial, like the super strength and all?

Yes.

When do we find out about that?

We'll find out about it together.

As soon as you're well enough, we'll start testing.

No, Simon, we won't.

What do you mean?

We will not test.

We're not going to find out what Flag may have done to me, because I don't

want to know.

Steve, you owe it to science to continue... To continue something I

didn't start?

Something that may kill me in a week, a month, a year? To continue something

your own father started and that so far has saved your life, not taken it? I'm

grateful for that.

But I'm not grateful for the fact that for the rest of my life, I'll never

really know how long I have.

Hey, hey, it's okay. I understand.

But it's over.

I'm not unconscious now.

The choice is mine.

I don't choose to play.

When can I get out of here?

In a day or two.

Your healing powers are really quite remarkable now.

Well, if you should ever decide to change your mind about this... I know.

I'll get in touch.

Goodbye, Simon.

Good luck.

How am I?

About as fully recovered as any patient in the history of medicine.

Well, when can I leave?

Doctor told me in the morning, if you'd like.

Get dressed, Mr. Rogers.

We're going to take a little trip.

It won't make a sound, pal.

But it'll make a very big hole.

Now move it.

So we meet again.

Fun, huh?

I still need that film.

I still don't know what you're talking about.

We've got as long as it takes, pal.

Now, let's try it again.

Get him up.

Your friend Hayden took some very important pictures for us.

Then he got cute and hid the pictures.

And then he got dead.

Now, we know he said something to you that night.

We need to know what.

Ain't that simple?

What's in it for me?

You get to live a little longer.

You want to live as long as possible, don't you? Yeah, I guess so.

Fine.

Where's the film?

Once more, where's the film?

I don't know.

Well,

Mr. Rogers.

Yes, I got a message for Agent Barber.

Tell him there's three suspicious characters down here at Pearson

Brothers' meatpacking plant.

And they may know something about Jeff Hayden's death.

Oh, and tell him to hurry.

I think they're getting a bad case of frostbite.

Not bad.

You've got talent.

It's what I had in mind for maybe the rest of my life.

Until I met you.

It's different now.

How does it make you feel, Steve?

Being, well, more than other men.

Frightened?

Not exhilarated?

Well, that too, sure.

But it's scary and a big responsibility.

If I'm not thinking about what I'm doing, I could hurt or kill somebody.

If I move this pencil too quickly, or hold it too tightly,

how

would you feel,

Simon?

I understand.

And I also can't help thinking how your father would have felt seeing his life's

work coming to fruition in his own son.

I never knew him well enough to be able to make a judgment.

He was truly the most patriotic man I ever knew. And not in a typical flag

-waving, corny politician way, but in the real sense that he believed in the

American ideal and he tried to live it.

Put his life on the line for it time and time again.

American ideal.

It's a little tough to find these days, isn't it?

Not if you know where to look.

Right on.

It was the spoilers of that ideal my father went after. The real criminals.

The bosses, the organizers, the ones in the really high places.

Yeah, I never really got that picture before.

He shook so many of them out of the trees that they coined a nickname for

him.

Captain America.

Captain America?

They meant it as a mockery, of course, but in a way, it fit.

to offer you a job.

Very much like mine, only using your very special talents.

You don't mean Peyton, do you?

You know what I mean.

Sure. Full aid and ability gain. That's a big part of it.

Only four people would know.

You, me, Wendy, and the President.

Does he really know about me?

And you're gonna make me look bad if you refuse.

I've even gone so far as to have some very special equipment designed with you

in mind.

I'll think about it.

Anything you say.

Pull your scrap.

Sensational. Can I keep it?

It's all yours.

Steve, think about what I said, huh?

And, uh...

Stay in touch Okay

Does he know his business?

Hold on.

I've got Phoenix on the telephone, Mr. Brackett. They verify the time locks for

noon tomorrow.

Anything else?

Not for them.

All right. Good job.

In less than 24 hours, we'll be underway.

Get as many men as you need and stay on Steve Rogers.

I don't want him in the way.

Is that clear?

He won't be.

Get a line on that film yet, Mr. Brackett?

Oh, the film is in the house somewhere.

Hayden was tailed every minute. Has to be there.

The agent's under every bush. How are we going to get back in?

I think I can work that out.

Oh, gosh.

How'd you manage to get away

from Mills? I promised to try a little special recruiting technique.

Okay, begin.

My heart isn't in it.

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?

Steve, I'm not even sure I want you in the company.

Thought you ran an eco-opportunity store. Look, you've been run off the

road. You've been blown up. You've been kidnapped.

Maybe you ought to get the message.

Are you worried about me?

Maybe.

I wish you hadn't done that.

Why?

Simon's looking.

I hope I'm interrupting.

Well, I've been on the phone with Inspector Barber. He's been going over

Hayden's background with a fine-tooth comb, and there's nothing.

You and I were his only friend. We and a heavyweight industrialist named Lou

Brackett, who came up with some endowments to the university over the

years. Clean, as far as we can tell. That puts us right back where we

started. Except for one thing.

The death of Jeff's wife.

It was an accident.

Maybe. But don't forget.

One of the last words he said to me was his wife's name. Why?

Why what?

Why would he say, Catherine, please, instead of maybe tell me who killed him?

Maybe he didn't know who killed him. I still think there's something there.

Something to do with Jeff's wife. The crash was an accident. It was checked

out. Maybe.

It's still the only unusual event in Jeff's life.

We checked with Tina. She doesn't remember anything unusual.

She can't remember because she's really upset.

Why don't you take her to lunch? Try and get to know her.

I'd be delighted.

Where do I find her?

Well, Barbara tells me she moved back into her house.

Here.

I'll see you guys later.

She really is something, isn't she?

She sure is.

Made up your mind yet?

The boss is going to want an answer one of these days, in or out.

He'll be the first to know.

Well, in that case, I want to show you something that might help you to decide.

Get your clothes, come on.

Standby chopper, they're getting ready to leave.

How'd you get a hold of that?

We borrowed it from the people you had repairing it. We finished the job and

added a few little touches of our own.

Those the touches you wanted me to see?

Mm-hmm.

Doesn't look that much different.

The difference wasn't designed to be noticeable.

Does this thing scramble eggs on Sunday, too?

And it whistles Dixie.

How do you get it out of here?

Rocket assist for launch out of the van. And jet assist for high-speed

acceleration.

Come on over here.

There's a switch under here. Keeps it standard. You flip it back and it's

whisper silent.

Now look.

The material and the aerodynamic design of the shield is really interesting.

It's bulletproof and a rather deadly weapon.

Why don't you try it out? See what it can do.

It's not just strength and agility.

It's vision and hearing.

I can see everything.

And I can hear them even over the sound of the chopper. Of course. We should

have anticipated that.

How much more in-game will there be?

Well, you've attained maximum capability by now. From here on, it's just

discovering what that really means.

Learning to adapt to it.

How to live with it.

Yeah.

That'll be the tough part.

Tina come here Look I know how you feel about your father.

I know he wasn't a traitor to his country But I also know that you and I

can prove it.

How do we do that applied logic?

Sit down You know

I've never known a father and daughter closer than you two were It was

really something very special to see, Tina.

Your father was a bright man.

I can't believe he would hide that film so you couldn't find it if anything

happened to him and clear his name one day.

He never said a word.

Well, he wouldn't.

He couldn't.

Tina, think back.

Was there something between the two of you, something special that nobody else

could know?

What were the things you did together?

Things you both loved, just the two of you.

There were so many things.

Reading, games, fishing.

Fishing.

Go on.

It's silly. It's too far out. Try it, Tina.

Well, I was probably only 11 or 12.

We used to play a game.

We'd hide little notes from each other. If we couldn't find them, we had to do

whatever the other one had written down on the note.

Things like, he'd have to take me fishing with him or buy me something.

He would have done it for me anyway.

Once I hid the note so well he couldn't find it, so I had to drop clues until he

caught on.

Where did you hide it?

He was cleaning some fly rods.

So when he closed his eyes, I rolled up the note and dropped it inside the

hollow part of the rod.

I see.

I remember because that's what he was doing the night.

Where, Tina?

Where was he cleaning them?

Upstairs in his den.

Tina, would you see who that is?

It's a woman. I don't know who she is.

I do.

She works for the government. She can help us.

Yes, come in. Thank you.

Now we'll all take a little ride.

How long has it been since Wendy checked in?

Almost 12 hours.

They're either on to something or the other side has made a move.

If that's it, we'll hear from them.

Tina's just a kid.

Mills here.

I have two visitors here.

Are they all right?

For the moment, yes.

But they're aware of certain facts that I can't afford to have made public right

now. Let me talk to one of them. Just listen.

If you ever hope to see either of them alive again, you will do absolutely

nothing.

You will keep the FBI out of this. And most important,

You will keep Steve Rogers out of this.

Disobey, and they will die.

Truck ready.

Finished. Is everything understood?

Parker and I drive you in the truck.

Everyone else arrives by helicopter at 8 minutes after noon.

The timing must be precise.

Our man has synchronized the time locks to open at exactly 12 noon.

We detonate the bomb at exactly 11.58.

The bomb.

All right, get it on the truck.

The radiation suits, too.

Unless, of course, you care to die, Phoenix.

There's a hundred men in the field right now, but where? Give me something to go

on. I've told you all we know.

What about the guy's voice?

Accent, timbre, inflection, everything unusual.

Could have been anyone, Charles.

Simon?

Remember what I told you the flag did for my hearing and all?

Well, during that call, I think I heard something that might help us.

Like what? I'm sure I heard somebody say, put that tanker in pumping bay

number seven. Does that mean anything to you? Well, a tanker sounds like oil or

gas. Wait a minute, that rings a bell.

A company called Andreas Oil made several research grants to Hayden over

the years.

So? Lubraca, it owns Andreas Oil.

Brackett was one of Hayden's oldest friends. They worked together as young

men. My guess is he knew exactly what Hayden was working on.

And probably has Tina and Wendy right now.

It also explains how come an oil truck accidentally spilled all over the road

you were on.

Lou Brackett.

Andrea's oil company.

Could it be?

Let's find out. Hey, wait.

If we're right, he'll be ready.

We go in there in force, we'll never see Tina and Wendy again.

He's right.

Simon, I'd like to talk to you alone.

I'll be outside.

Simon, you have the authority to make a decision stick.

I want you to make one. Don't make it too tough.

I could do this my way.

I go in there alone.

So we both know I have the talent.

Barbara wouldn't understand.

But you make it stick anyway.

Okay, but I've got one condition.

Well, you would have.

You gave me the idea yourself.

Steve Flagg has made you a marked man. You know that. They've tried to kill you

three times already just on the chance that you might turn out to be the man

your father was.

Think about it.

Every time you use that strength or special skill of yours, intentionally or

otherwise, it'll be like writing your name in the skies.

That's possible.

All right.

You're going to need something to protect you on that bike anyway.

Why not make it a disguise?

Something that'll make it impossible for them to remember or even recognize you

at all.

You've got to be kidding. This is my drawing. Why not? It's perfect.

They ridiculed your father, remember?

Called him Captain America and finally murdered him.

Be Captain America, Steve.

Jam Captain America down their throats.

And at the same time, protect yourself.

Will this work?

As long as your heart continues to beat, the bomb won't detonate.

Until, of course, you disconnect and trigger it.

What if we run into trouble, like the police?

Well, they dare not shoot you if the bomb goes off.

That's your safe passage.

21, 22.

The girls, where are they?

In a room under number two stack.

They're all right.

Where's Brackett?

He's gone.

Show me where his office is.

Brackett's confidential paper.

In the cabinet.

Open it up.

Check this file. I think you'll find it interesting.

Get out of here.

Where's Brackett? There's nothing you can do. It's too late.

Too late for what?

It's too late to stop him. They pulled out four hours ago.

What's he going to do?

Tell me.

He's got the bomb.

The neutron bomb.

What's he going to do with it?

At noon, they're all gonna die.

Barbara's had his best interrogators working on Wyant for over two hours.

You won't tell him a thing.

At noon, they all die.

Who dies?

Where? Why?

Well, if Brackett has the neutron bomb.

That could mean an awful lot of people. But why?

Brackett is no mad dog killer. He is after something.

The question is, what?

Well, whatever it is, it's got to be within the 500-mile radius of Los

Angeles. Why?

I mean, what if they're traveling by jet?

No, why it said pulled out.

That doesn't sound like an airplane to me.

Simon, how big is a neutron bomb?

About 2,000 pounds. You'd need a truck. Right.

Andrea Soil has lots of trucks. And trucks pull out.

We're looking for an Andreas oil truck within about 500 miles.

Let's find out from national security what the prime secure targets are in

that area. Is your computer operative? Sure is.

Access route AX1A1.

Stand by for voice print ID.

Standing by.

Insert voice print ID, please.

Willow tree 100.

You're cleared for access.

Let me have an update on prime secure targets within 500 miles of Los Angeles.

Hard copy.

12 in-place missiles within that area, four mobile missiles.

Los Angeles gold repository, 92 million currently on deposit.

Far West National Emergency Command Center under the San Bernardino

Mountains and the Phoenix International Gold Repository, 1.4 billion in bullion.

And a neutron bomb only kills people. The gold will be intact.

Simon, that's got to be it.

If it was the L.A. repository, they'd be there by now.

Why would they settle for 100 million when there's over a billion available?

What time is it?

Six minutes to ten. We've got about two hours.

Could the Air Force help?

They could have that truck blown sky high.

Along with every man, woman, and child in the area.

And it's got to be done by hand.

Simon, can you still jock a helicopter?

A fast one?

That's something you don't forget.

I'll meet you at the pad.

a truck scale which road do you think they'll take the old road we can get to

it by crossing the reservoir

I'll stay in touch.

I was watching.

My people are picking it up now.

Okay.

I'm inside the trailer.

I'm looking at a large metal object 10 feet by 2.

Are there any lights or dials on the thing?

Yes, there's two blue lights and one green blinking light.

There's also a digital clock.

Is there a faint hum just a little louder than an electric clock might

make? Yes.

Well, it could be a neutron bomb, that's for sure. Is Brackett there? Yes, he's a

little sick from some fumes I routed in here.

Chopper. Go ahead.

Simon, this guy's got some device strapped to his chest.

What is it?

It's like a dead man's switch of some kind.

I guess it's reading his pulse.

Well, if you're right, it probably means the bomb goes off if his pulse stops.

How's he doing?

Not so good.

Describe what he looks like.

His lips are blue.

He's gasping for air and it kind of rattles in his throat when he does

breathe.

All I can see are the whites of his eyes.

That doesn't sound good.

Roll him over on his back, Steve.

Make sure his throat is clear and that he's not strangling on his own tongue.

If he dies, we all die.

I'm almost there.

now, that's all right.

Gonna make it?

That means we're all gonna make it, right?

Right.

Sounds like the cavalry's about ready to arrive.

Cops, MPs, and a bomb squad from the Atomic Energy Commission.

Why don't you wait for me in the chopper? I'll turn this over to them and

we can get out of here.

He's a doctor.

Will you stop saying that?

Right. Thank you.

Barbara's bringing your mom over now.

I can't believe it. I can't believe she's really alive.

You better believe it.

Tall plane crash is faked. Brackett held her prisoner all these months.

Tina, the pressure on your father had to be incredible. Not being able to tell

you the truth.

Knowing your mother's life depended on him delivering film on the neutron bomb

to Brackett. How can I thank you all?

Just be happy.

His mother.

That's beautiful.

Yes, it is.

Captain America did a pretty good job.

Yeah. He did jam himself down a few throats, didn't he?

What do you say, Steve? Do we put Captain America on a permanent basis?

Yes.

But there's still one thing bothering me, Simon.

If I'm going to be Captain America, I want to be the same Captain America my

father was in every way.

I don't just want to do the things he did.

I want to look the way he did as well.

How do you like it, Simon?

Magnificent.
