01x17 - Finding Hydra's Comrades

[bunniefuu]

[EXCITING MUSIC]

CAPTAIN AMERICA (VOICEOVER): I received intel that Bucky was

being held c*ptive in Russia.

So I embarked on a mission to rescue my friend.

I'm coming, Bucky.

[SCREAMING]

What?

Hope I'm not too late, Bucky.

Thanks for coming, Cap.

Just like old times.

CAPTAIN AMERICA (VOICEOVER): Fighting

alongside Bucky felt right.

It reminded me of the good old days.

CRIMSON DYNAMO (VOICEOVER): Here in Russia,

the Winter Soldier is one of the most hated villains.

His list of crimes against our nation is endless.

We've seen the horrors left in his wake.

For the things he's done, he is beyond redemption.

CAPTAIN AMERICA (VOICEOVER): Not long after our reunion,

I was captured by Russia's very own superhero

team, The Winter Guard.

BUCKY (VOICEOVER); No matter what

happens, make sure you find the things that give you joy.

And do your best to be happy.

So long friend.

So long.

MAKOTO (VOICEOVER): You can do it, Cap.

[THEME MUSIC]

Hmm, so you're the renowned Captain America.

I am General Brushoff.

What's a military man such as you doing on foreign soil?

Red Guardian believes your visit to Russia

is personal, rather than politically motivated.

Would that be an accurate assessment of your time here?

Well, you'll have to forgive me for not being

as trusting as our red friend.

Get on with it.

SOLDIER: Sir.

Wow, I can't believe it.

The legendary hero himself.

I never thought I'd meet him in real life.

GENERAL BRUSHOFF: He's just a soldier,

an expendable instrument of w*r.

Expendable?

Explain.

Like us.

We are but flesh and blood following

orders, doing what we must, prepared to lay down our lives.

[SAD MUSIC]

Goodbye, Captain America.

[GRUNTING]

[ENGINE REVS]

[EXCITING MUSIC]

[g*nf*re]

[LAUGHS]

Now, this is fun, I could do this all day.

CRIMSON DYNAMO: We keep this up, and we'll be out of here

in no time.

Pull back.

[SHOUTING]

Quit squirming.

Where is the list?

What list?

You Hydra g*ons know what list I'm talking about.

Now then, I'll ask again.

Where is Hydra's agent list?

Hurry up, little man.

I'll never tell you, you stupid bear.

Oh, I'm no stupid bear.

I'm Balsai Bivian, the great bear.

HYDRA GOON: [SCREAMS]

Well done.

Were you able to gain any Intel regarding the list?

CRIMSON DYNAMO (ON PHONE): No, these

appear to be low-level grunts.

Nothing of substance to share.

We're going to dig around their office

and see what we can find.

Good idea.

Stay on guard.

Copy.

Question.

What's up?

Be honest, do you think that I look like a stupid bear?

Of course not.

You're smart, like circus bear.

You mean it?

You stay here in case anything develops.

I'll get started on the reports for parliament,

explaining the past 24 hours.

Nikolai, stop.

The reports can wait.

You need to get some rest.

Are you poking around in my head, Laynia?

You know full well I don't need to use those powers

to know when you're exhausted.

Why don't you go lie down for a few hours?

And I'll keep an eye on things up here.

Don't worry about the Winter Soldier.

We were doing our jobs.

It doesn't feel right.

But there's no going back now.

Still.

Wait, no, you don't understand.

I can't rest yet.

I've got to make this right.

The Winter Guard is a team.

We are best when we work together.

You don't have to bear all our burdens alone, Nikolai.

That's what teammates are for.

We support each other.

Laynia, when they put on this mask,

I know that I must be willing to make sacrifices for justice.

But during that pursuit, there is

a point when you can lose sight of what

true justice might really mean.

The Winter Guard is my family.

And I must protect them.

Being willing to sacrifice myself for justice's sake

is one thing.

But it's altogether a different thing to ask of you.

I must do this alone.

Yeah, this is beginning to feel like a waste of time

URSA MAJOR: Uh oh.

You find something?

What is it?

We're in big trouble.

It's a b*mb.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Darkstar, it was a trap.

We don't have much time left before--

What was that?

Crimson Dynamo, Ursa Major, do you copy?

[ALARM BLARES]

RED GUARDIAN: Incoming.

No!

This is Red Guardian, patch me into General Brushoff

immediately.

[LINE TRILLS]

What's wrong?

RED GUARDIAN (ON PHONE): Our base is under heavy attack.

We need backup.

Understood.

Sending reinforcements now.

Darkstar, where are you?

Darkstar, stay with me.

I got you, Laynia.

The others, Crimson Dynamo, Ursa Major, we've

lost them all.

What?

[HELICOPTERS WHIRRING]

Russian?

That doesn't make sense.

Brushoff, why would he betray us?

[GRUNTING]

[MILITARISTIC MUSIC]

How could I have been so blind?

General Brushoff must be working for Hydra now.

I think you're right.

[TENSE MUSIC]

They found us.

I'm in no condition to run.

You must save yourself.

No, we're a team, remember?

There's no way I'm leaving you behind.

[GRUNTING]

Huh?

Captain America?

Why'd you come back?

The soldiers on the plane tried to k*ll me.

It appears they're working for Hydra.

Then it's confirmed.

Brushoff is an undercover Hydra Agent.

Where are the others?

We lost contact.

Without the rest of the Winter Guard,

we're going to need some extra help.

We need Bucky.

We cannot trust the Winter Soldier.

He is our enemy.

Hydra is our enemy right now.

Tell me, what would you do if you were in my shoes?

His crimes, they are unforgivable.

I know that.

I'm not asking that you forgive him of his sins.

I'm asking that you trust him.

I know that won't be easy.

But Bucky isn't the Winter Soldier anymore.

I see.

How does that happen to a man?

How can one change so completely?

Bucky became the Winter Soldier because of me.

I failed him.

The Avengers, Adi, Makoto, and Chloe,

how do I make them see everything

I do is to protect them?

Everything.

Even though I'd like to feel bad for myself,

we have a job to do.

You've got to make a hard decision for all of us.

So I don't want you worrying about me.

Right now, we've got to look at what's best for the team,

right?

Red Guardian, help me take down Hydra.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Those are Russian tanks.

They've come to finish the job.

I've got some fight left in me.

Darkstar, you're too injured.

Leave the fighting to me and Cap.

[LAUGHS] Do those two really think they are powerful enough

to take on our entire army?

It's time I show these weaklings the true might of Hydra

and the Masters of Evil.

[g*nf*re]

[EXCITING MUSIC]

[GRUNTING]

[EXCITING MUSIC]

[LAUGHS] I think I'll end you by running you over.

Looks like we're completely surrounded.

I say we split them down the middle.

Great minds think alike.

So have you ever taken down an entire squadron of tanks

before?

This'll be my first.

No time like the present.

Huh?

What is going on?

Who did that?

Well then, I'd say we just got pretty lucky.

[g*nf*re]

Bucky?

Winter Soldier.

Can't be.

I watched you fly away with Bucky in custody.

That's right.

But the powers that be granted his freedom for now.

[SAD MUSIC]

I don't understand.

I'm free to go?

Our parliament and army have granted you an early release.

You're free to go.

But we will never forget what you've done.

They want a copy of you, to convince the world

that you've been captured.

Whoa, would you look at that?

He's an identical match.

I can't tell the difference.

Can you?

Sir, I got a bad feeling about all of this.

Let's just say he's the copy.

I don't forgive you.

If it were up to me, you'd never see the light of day.

I don't blame you.

Good, pray that our paths do not cross again, Bucky Barnes.

It would appear your friend has saved us.

[WIND BLOWS]

[GRUNTS] Winter Soldier, we secured the release.

And this is how you repay us?

Captain America, no, wait, stop.

Let me explain.

Where's the list?

List, what list?

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

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Now, tell me.

I'll never tell.

And there is nothing you can do that will make

me break my silence, Captain.

[GRUNTING]

See, sharing's not so hard.

No, there is nothing to see here.

Stop looking.

I have failed.

We should have looked there first.

CRIMSON DYNAMO (ON PHONE): Red Guardian, come in.

Do you read?

Crimson Dynamo.

URSA MAJOR (ON PHONE): Don't forget your favorite bear.

Ursa Major, is that you?

It sure is.

Little b*mb can't stop us.

Big teddy bear is lucky he had my armor to hide behind.

[LAUGHS]

I'm so relieved.

We thought we'd lost you.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: Bucky.

Stop right there, Cap.

You know I can't come with you, not after all the things

I've done.

I need to find my own way to atone for my sins.

But first, there's one more thing I need to do.

Winter Guard, I'll need your help.

I stand before you today with a heavy heart.

All members of the Winter Guard were defeated by Hydra,

as it pains me to report.

They fought valiantly and did everything in their power

to overcome their enemy.

But in the end, Hydra's forces proved to be

too much for the Winter guard.

[AUDIENCE MURMURS]

Rest assured knowing we will not stop until we've avenged them.

We will scour the globe to bring those responsible to justice.

And we have just the team to lead the charge

and assist us in this endeavor.

Behold.

[SHOCKED GASPS]

[GASPS]

Freeze.

Step aside, comrade.

This is Captain America and Bucky Barnes.

They're working with us to assist

in uncovering Hydra agents.

GENERAL BRUSHOFF: May I present to you Russia's very own army

of super soldiers?

We selected our best and brightest

and enhanced them with the same cutting edge technology

behind Hydra's ultimate weapon, the Winter Soldier.

Thanks to the help of the Winter Guard,

we were able to capture him and reverse engineer his technology

to create our own strike force.

We will use them to avenge our fallen comrades

and bring about justice for the Winter Guard.

It is they who will sniff out Hydra

and take down this vile syndicate once and for all.

[APPLAUSE]

Red Guardian, best of luck.

And I'm sorry for ever doubting you, sir.

Thank you all for your support.

Together, we will defeat Hydra.

If only the Winter Guard were--

RED GUARDIAN: But we are.

What?

What a relief to see you all standing there.

We thought you'd met your doom.

Enough Brushoff.

Your name was listed among hydra's undercover agents.

The jig is up.

We're taking you in.

Well, seems I should be on my way.

But before I take my leave, it's best I make certain you

don't leave here alive.

Let's see how you fare being outnumbered.

Avengers, assemble.

What is all this?

Hi there, general.

Rumor has it you've been hosting tea parties with the Masters

of Evil and Hydra these days.

That didn't seem like a bad idea to you?

I mean, you've heard of the Avengers, right?

Stopping baddies is kind of our thing.

This should serve as a real eye opener for you, general.

May you learn from your mistakes.

Prepare for a fight you'll never forget, you big jerks.

Oh, this is awesome.

A fight of epic proportions, the ultimate superhero team up.

Good guys versus evil.

Easy there, turbo.

Leave this one to us.

I'm not cool with you unleashing an aerial act

while they're all holding sharp objects.

OK, OK, you make a good point there.

Winter Guard--

Avengers let's do this.

[SHOUTING]

Oh, that looks like fun.

You're the reason we're not allowed to join them.

It's all your fault.

Don't kick a guy while he's down.

[GRUNTS]

Capturing me will have no effect in slowing Hydra's progress.

Soon, the entire world will be in our grasp.

There is no stopping it now.

The future belongs to Hydra and its countless allies.

Hydra will soon be a relic of the past.

You've lost.

I'm taking you home.

There, you will stand trial for the crimes you have committed.

We can do this the easy way.

Or we can do this the hard way.

[GRUNTING]

Hey, general, try to remember what we talked about.

You cross one Avenger, and you've crossed them all.

[HEROIC MUSIC]

Cap, is Bucky not coming back home with us?

Not today.

He doesn't need me watching his back anymore.

He's flying solo.

Goodbye.

Bucky's back to his old self.

But he'll always have to live with his past.

It'll be hard.

But that's his journey now.

Only he can overcome those obstacles,

like your friend, Bruno.

He'll come around eventually.

We'll see.

MAKOTO (VOICEOVER): See you soon, Bruno.

[THEME MUSIC]

Avengers.

Avengers.

Future Avengers.

Avengers.

Avengers.

Future Avengers.

Yeah.

Avengers.

Future Avengers.

NARRATOR: What a strange turn of events.

It looks like Captain America got his friend

back only to set him free.

I'm sure it was for the best.

I hope you're ready for the next episode.

That guy in the red Spandex is back.

No, not Spider-Man.

It's the merc with the mouth, the jabber

jaws who loves chimichangas.

That's right, let's all say it together on three, one two,

three, Deadpool.

Next on "Marvel Future Avengers," it's Deadpool again.

Catch the future, Avengers.
