[at the Triskelion where the Helicarriers are being held] S.H.I.E.L.D. COMPUTER: We are in final launch sequence. S.H.I.E.L.D. TECH: We are go on guidance. S.H.I.E.L.D. COMPUTER: All personnel, to launch station. [Pierce meets the World Security Council as they arrive at the Triskelion] ALEXANDER PIERCE: And how was your flight? COUNCILWOMAN HAWLEY: Lovely. The ride from the airport less so. ALEXANDER PIERCE: Sadly, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't control everything. COUNCILMAN ROCKWELL: Including Captain America. [Pierce walks over to one of the guards who hands him a case containing four pins] ALEXANDER PIERCE: This facility is biometrically controlled, and these will give you unrestricted access. [the council members each take a pin to wear] [at the Project Insight headquarters] COM TECH #1: I've been parking there for two months. COM TECH #2: But it's his spot. COM TECH #1: So where's he been? COM TECH #2: I think Afghanistan. [into his earpiece] COM TECH #1: Negative, DT-6. The pattern is full. [to his colleague] Well, he could have said something. [suddenly they hear a sharp noise through their earpiece] Ow! COM TECH #2: Must be the dish. COM TECH #1: I'll check it out. [as he goes and opens the door he's faced with Steve, Sam and Hill on the other side of the door, Sam and Hill point their guns at him] STEVE ROGERS: Excuse us. [the tech holds his hands up and steps aside to let them enter] [Pierce is addressing the World Security Council members] ALEXANDER PIERCE: I know the road hasn't exactly been smooth, and some of you would have gladly kicked me out of the car along the way. Finally we're here, and the world should be grateful. [As they start drinking to Pierce's toast suddenly they hear Steve over the S.H.I.E.L.D. microphone that everyone in the building can hear] STEVE ROGERS: Attention, all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. This is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me over the last few days, some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we thought it was, it's been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The S.T.R.I.K.E. and Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want: absolute control. They shot Nick Fury and it won't end there. If you launch those Helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to k** anyone that stands in their way, unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot, but the price of freedom is high, it always has been, and it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not. SAM WILSON: [After Cap is done] Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head? [The World Security Council looks to Pierce] COUNCILMAN ROCKWELL: You smug son of a b**h. COUNCILMAN SINGH: [to the two HYDRA agents enter the room, thinking they are S.H.I.E.L.D. agents] Arrest him. [the HYDRA agent points his gun at Singh] ALEXANDER PIERCE: I guess I've got the floor. [Rumlow and his men break into the control room, where Agent 13 also is, Rumlow walks over to one of the techs] BROCK RUMLOW: Is there a problem? S.H.I.E.L.D. TECH: I'm... [the tech shakes his head nervously] I'm sorry, sir. [the tech takes a few nervous breaths before replying] I'm not gonna launch those ships. Captain's orders. [Rumlow points his gun at the tech's head] BROCK RUMLOW: Move away from your station. [Agent 13 walks over to Rumlow pointing her gun at him] SHARON CARTER: Like he said! [suddenly all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents draw their weapons and point them at Rumlow] Captain's orders. BROCK RUMLOW: You picked the wrong side, Agent. SHARON CARTER: Depends on where you're standing. [Rumlow drops his gun, but as he does he grabs his knife and cuts Agent 13's arm, leading to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents firing their guns, amidst the bullets, Rumlow manages to release the Helicarriers and runs off] [The bay doors holding the Helicarriers are about to be opened] S.H.I.E.L.D. AGENT: Close the bay door! Close the bay door now! Close the bay door! [the HYDRA agents enter and start shooting and k**ing the crew and techs; at the headquarters Hill watches on the monitor as the Helicarriers are being initiated] MARIA HILL: They're initiating launch. [Steve and Sam make their way to the Helicarriers] SAM WILSON: Hey, Cap, how do we know the good guys from the bad guys? STEVE ROGERS: If they're shooting at you, they're bad. [Sam, in his Falcon suit, flies off and Steve heads down, the HYDRA agents starting shooting at them, Sam flies around avoiding getting shot] SAM WILSON: Hey, Cap, I found those bad guys you were talking about. STEVE ROGERS: You okay? [flying off as the HYDRA agents continue to shoot at him] SAM WILSON: Not dead yet. [Pierce watches from the window the commotion caused by Steve and Sam trying to stop the Helicarriers launching, he turns to Singh] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Let me ask you a question. What if Pakistan marched into Mumbai tomorrow, and you knew that they were gonna drag your daughters into a soccer stadium for execution? [Pierce hands Sing a gla** of champagne] And you could just stop it with a flick of a switch. Would you? Wouldn't you all? COUNCILMAN SINGH: Not if it was your switch. [Singh tosses the gla** aside, one of the HYDRA agents hands Pierce his gun and Pierce points it at Singh, suddenly Hawley kicks Singh away, then takes down the other HYDRA agents in the room before taking the gun and pointing at Pierce, she then removes her disguise to reveal it's Natasha] NATASHA ROMANOFF: I'm sorry. Did I step on your moment? Charlie Weapons Tech: [referring to the Helicarriers] Satellites in range at three thousand feet. MARIA HILL: Falcon, status? SAM WILSON: Engaging. [Sam manages to fly down to the Hellicarrier bay taking down the HYDRA jets chasing him] Alright, Cap, I'm in.[just then another HYDRA jets heads his way and starts shooting at him] sh**! [Sam manages to fly off and avoid getting hit, meanwhile Steve is fighting off the HYDRA agents as he tries to get inside the Helicarrier] MARIA HILL: Eight minutes, Cap. STEVE ROGERS: Working on it. Councilman Rockwell: [to Natasha who is on the computer] What are you doing? ALEXANDER PIERCE: She's disabling security protocols and dumping all the secrets onto the Internet. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Including HYDRA's. ALEXANDER PIERCE: And S.H.I.E.L.D.'s. If you do this, non of your past is gonna remain hidden. [Natasha continues typing into the computer] Are you sure you're ready for the world to see you as you really are? NATASHA ROMANOFF: Are you? STEVE ROGERS: Alpha locked. MARIA HILL: Falcon, where are you now? SAM WILSON: I had to take a detour! [Sam is flying towards one of the Helicarriers when heat-seeking missiles are shot at him by HYDRA, so he flies back towards the Helicarrier and manages to get the missiles that were aimed at him to hit the Helicarrier giving him entrance] SAM WILSON: Oh, yeah! [Sam flies into the Helicarrier; to Hill] Bravo locked. [Sam flies out of the carrier] MARIA HILL: Two down, one to go. S.H.I.E.L.D. Pilot: All S.H.I.E.L.D. pilots, scramble. We're the only air support Captain Rogers has got. [Suddenly Bucky appears and starts firing at the S.H.I.E.L.D. pilots and agents k**ing them all after which he gets into one of the jets and flies off; back inside the building with Natasha, Pierce and the council members] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Disabling the encryption is an executive order, it takes two Alpha Level members. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Don't worry, company's coming. [just then a helicopter appears outside, lands and Fury steps out to enter the building to Pierce's surprise] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Did you get my flowers? [Fury looks at him coldly] I'm glad you're here, Nick. NICK FURY: Really? Cause I thought you had me k**ed. ALEXANDER PIERCE: You know how the game works. NICK FURY: So why make me head of S.H.I.E.L.D.? ALEXANDER PIERCE: Cause you're the best and the most ruthless person I ever met. NICK FURY: I did what I did to protect people. ALEXANDER PIERCE: Our enemies are your enemies, Nick. Disorder, war. It's just a matter of time before a dirty bomb goes off in Moscow, or an EMP fries Chicago. Diplomacy? Holding action, a band-aid. And you know where I learned that; Bogota. You didn't ask, you just did what had to be done. I can bring order to the lives of seven billion people by sacrificing twenty million. It's the next step, Nick, if you have the courage to take it. NICK FURY: No, I have the courage not to. [Fury takes Pierce to the retinal scanner with Natasha pointing her gun at him] S.H.I.E.L.D. COMPUTER: Retinal scanner active. ALEXANDER PIERCE: You don't you think we wiped your clearance from the system? NICK FURY: I know you erased my pa**word, probably deleted my retinal scan, but if you want to stay ahead of me, Mr. Secretary... [Fury removes his eyepatch to reveal his scarred dead eye] You need to keep both eyes open. [they both look into the retinal scanner with Fury using his dead eye] S.H.I.E.L.D. COMPUTER: Alpha Level confirmed. Encryption code accepted. Safeguards removed. [back with Hill at the headquarters] MARIA HILL: Charlie Carrier's forty-five degrees off the port bow. [she notices two HYDRA agents making breaking into the headquarters, she shoots and k**s them as they enter] Six minutes. [Steve is trying to get away from the HYDRA agents shooting at him on the Helicarrier] STEVE ROGERS: Hey, Sam, I'm gonna need a ride. SAM WILSON: Roger! Let me know when you're ready. [Steve just manages to jump off the edge as a HYDRA agent shoots a missile at him] STEVE ROGERS: I just did! [Sam flies in just in time to catch Steve] [Sam flies himself and Steve onto the last Helicarrier] SAM WILSON: You know, you're a lot heavier than you look. STEVE ROGERS: I had a big breakfast. [suddenly Bucky appears and pushes Steve off the edge] SAM WILSON: Steve! [as Sam goes to fly off and help Steve Bucky grabs one of his wings and throws him back, Sam starts shooting at Bucky and as he goes to fly off Bucky uses his weapon to rip off one of Sam's wings and kicks him off the Helicarrier, Sam manages to get his parachute out and lands on the roof of the Triskelion] Cap? Cap, come in. Are you okay? [we see Steve is holding onto the side of the Helicarrier] STEVE ROGERS: Yeah, I'm here! I'm still on the Helicarrier. [he pulls himself up] Where are you? SAM WILSON: I'm grounded, the suit's down. Sorry, Cap. STEVE ROGERS: Don't worry, I got it. [Bucky watches Steve from above the Helicarrier] [as everyone at the Triskelion is rushing around trying to evacuate the building Rumlow fights and k**s some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents] HYDRA AGENT: Sir, Council's been breached. BROCK RUMLOW: Repeat dispatch. HYDRA AGENT: Black Widow's up there. BROCK RUMLOW: Headed up! [Hill notices Rumlow on the monitor] MARIA HILL: Falcon? SAM WILSON: Yeah? MARIA HILL: Rumlow's headed for the Council. SAM WILSON: I'm on it. [inside the Helicarrier Steve is confronted by Bucky] STEVE ROGERS: People are gonna die, Buck. I can't let that happen. [Bucky stares at him coldly] Please, don't make me do this. [Seeing Bucky won't back down Steve throws his shield at him and they start battling each other, as they fight Steve manages to bring up the targeting blade system, but as Bucky attacks him the chip falls from Steve's hand; back at the Council] NATASHA ROMANOFF: Done. [she looks at her mobile device] And it's trending. [Just then Pierce sets off the pins he gave the council members, causing it to burn deeply into their sternum, Natasha and Fury points their guns at Pierce; to Natasha] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Unless you want two inch hole in your sternum, I'd put that gun down. [Natasha doesn't back down] That was armed the moment you pinned it on. [Fury and Natasha reluctantly lower their weapons. Back at the Helicarrier as they are battling it out, Bucky stabs Steve in the shoulder with his knife and then grabs the fallen chip, but Steve manages to get the knife out, grab Bucky by the throat and hold him down] STEVE ROGERS: Drop it! Drop it! [Bucky continues to hold the chip and Steve breaks both of Bucky's arms and holds on to his throat until he pa**es out and lets go of the chip, Steve then grabs the chip and rushes off; back at the Triskelion] BROCK RUMLOW: I'm on forty-one, headed towards the south-west stairwell. [just then Sam attacks Rumlow but Rumlow manages to knock Sam down] This is gonna hurt. There are no prisoners with HYDRA, just order. And order only comes through pain. You ready for yours? SAM WILSON: Man, shut the hell up. [they both go to attack each other] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Lieutenant, how much longer? CHARLIE WEAPONS TECH: Sixty-five seconds to satellite link. Target reengaged. Lowering weapons array now. MARIA HILL: [to Steve as she watches from the monitor] One minute. [Steve desperately tries to get back up to the Helicarriers to get to the targeting system when Bucky becomes conscious and shoots at Steve, but Steve still manages to climb up] Thirty seconds, Cap! STEVE ROGERS: Stand by. [as he gets the chip out Bucky shoots Steve in the stomach and he falls] CHARLIE WEAPONS TECH: We've reached three thousand feet. Satellite coming online now. CHARLIE XO: Deploy algorithm. CHARLIE WEAPONS TECH: Algorithm deployed. CHARLIE XO: We are go to targets. [Hill watches as the weapons are being targetted at Washington] CHARLIE WEAPONS TECH: Targets saturation reached. All targets a**igned. CHARLIE XO: Fire when ready. CHARLIE WEAPONS TECH: Firing in, three, two, one. [at that moment Steve manages to get up and place the chip in the Helicarrier's targeting blade overriding the system and locking it down] STEVE ROGERS: Charlie locked. [as they watch the targets go offline] CHARLIE XO: Where are the targets? Where are the targets? MARIA HILL: Okay, Cap, get out of there. [Hill gets then gets the Helicarriers weapon targets to open fire upon each other] STEVE ROGERS: Fire now. MARIA HILL: But, Steve... STEVE ROGERS: Do it! Do it now! [reluctantly Hill makes the Helicarriers open fire on each other, Steve still inside the Helicarrier looks at Bucky below him; back at the Triskelion Pierce watches the Helicarriers as they are firing at each other] ALEXANDER PIERCE: What a waste. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Are you still on the fence about Roger's chances? ALEXANDER PIERCE: Time to go, Councilwoman. This way, come on. You're gonna fly me out of here. [as Pierce starts to leave with Natasha] NICK FURY: You know, there was a time I would have taken a bullet for you. ALEXANDER PIERCE: You already did. You will again when... [just then Natasha activates her pin causing it to burn into her, this gives Fury a chance to shoot Pierce, which he does so twice, Fury then walks over to Natasha who is lying unconscious on the floor] NICK FURY: Romanoff! Natasha! Natasha, come on! [Natasha opens her eyes] NATASHA ROMANOFF: Ow. Those really do sting. [The Helicarriers continue to destroy each other as Pierce lies on the floor and whispers his dying words] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Hail, HYDRA. [Just then one Helicarrier crashes into a dam beneath the Triskelion; as the Helicarrier continues to fall with Cap and Winter Soldier inside, at the Triskelion Sam and Rumlow continue to fight each other] BROCK RUMLOW: You're out of your depth, kid. [Suddenly the second Helicarriers crashes into the Triskelion, catching Rumlow in the destruction; to Natasha who is in the helicopter] SAM WILSON: Please, tell me you got that chopper in the air! NATASHA ROMANOFF: Sam, where are you? SAM WILSON: 41st floor, north-west corner! NATASHA ROMANOFF: We're on it, stay where you are. [Sam desperately tries to get away from the destruction the Helicarrier is causing the building] SAM WILSON: Not an option! [as the building is being destroyed Sam jumps out of the window as Natasha and Fury fly their chopper in time to catch him] SAM WILSON: 41st floor! 41st! NICK FURY: It's not like they put the floor numbers on the outside of the building! NATASHA ROMANOFF: Hill, where's Steve? You got a location on Rogers? [inside the third Helicarrier we see Steve help Bucky out from being trapped under some fallen rubble] STEVE ROGERS: You know me. [Bucky lashes out at Steve in anger] JAMES BARNES: No, I don't! STEVE ROGERS: Bucky, you've known me your whole life. [Bucky hits Steve but Steve chooses not to fight back] Your name is James Buchanan Barnes. [Bucky hits Steve again] JAMES BARNES: Shut up! [Steve takes off his mask and drops his shield out of the Helicarrier] STEVE ROGERS: I'm not gonna fight you. You're my friend. [Bucky pushes Steve to the ground] JAMES BARNES: You're my mission. [he then mercilessly punches Steve repeatedly across the face] You're my mission! STEVE ROGERS: Then finish it. [Bucky hesitates holding his fist up] Cause I'm with you to the end of the line. [Bucky looks at Steve as if he's starting to remember just then the bottom of the Helicarrier falls sending Steve down into the river below as Bucky watches from the Helicarrier, then we see an unconscious Steve being pulled out of the water and dragged onto the shore by Bucky before he turns and walks away]
