Stephen McFeely - The Winter Soldier: Escape from S.H.I.E.L.D. lyrics

[back at S.H.I.E.L.D., Steve is brought to Pierce who is talking to Agent 13] ALEXANDER PIERCE: For whatever it's worth, you did your best. SHARON CARTER: Thank you, sir. [as she turns to leave she sees Steve] Captain Rogers. [Steve replies coldly as he walks towards Pierce] STEVE ROGERS: Neighbor. ALEXANDER PIERCE: Ah, Captain. I'm Alexander Pierce. STEVE ROGERS: Sir, it's an honor. [they shake hands] ALEXANDER PIERCE: The honor is mine, Captain. My father served in the 101st. Come on in. [they enter Pierce's office where he shows Steve an old photo of Fury with Pierce] That photo was taken five years after Nick and I met. When I was at State Department in Bogota. ELN rebels took the emba**y, and security got me out, but the rebels took hostages. Nick was deputy chief for the S.H.I.E.L.D. station there. And he comes to me with a plan. He wants to storm the building through the sewers. I said, "No, we'll negotiate." Turned out the ELN didn't negotiate, so they put out a k** order. They stormed the basement, and what did they find? They find it empty. Nick had ignored my direct order and carried out an unauthorized military operation on foreign soil. He saved the lives of a dozen political officers, including my daughter. STEVE ROGERS: So you gave him a promotion. ALEXANDER PIERCE: I've never had any cause to regret it. Captain, why was Nick in your apartment last night? STEVE ROGERS: I don't know. ALEXANDER PIERCE: You know it was bugged? STEVE ROGERS: I did, because Nick told me. ALEXANDER PIERCE: Did he tell you he was the one who bugged it? [Steve doesn't reply obviously not knowing this information] I want you to see something. [he brings up footage of Batroc being interrogated] S.H.I.E.L.D. AGENT: Who hired you, Batroc? STEVE ROGERS: Is that live? ALEXANDER PIERCE: Yeah, they picked him up last night in a not-so-safe house in Algiers. STEVE ROGERS: Are you saying he's a suspect? Assa**ination isn't Batroc's line. ALEXANDER PIERCE: No, it's more complicated than that. Batroc was hired anonymously to attack the Lemurian Star and he was contacted by e-mail and paid by wire transfer. And then the money was run through seventeen fictitious accounts, the last one going to a holding company that was registered to a Jacob Veech. STEVE ROGERS: Am I supposed to know who that is? [he hands Steve the file] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Not likely. Veech died six years ago. His last address was 14-35 Elmhurst Drive. When I first met Nick his mother lived at 14-37. STEVE ROGERS: Are you saying Fury hired the pirates? Why? ALEXANDER PIERCE: Well the prevailing theory was that the hijacking was a cover for the acquisition and sale of cla**ified intelligence. The sale went sour and that led to Nick's d**h. STEVE ROGERS: If you really knew Nick Fury you know that's not true. ALEXANDER PIERCE: Why do you think we're talking? See, I took a seat on the Council not because I wanted to but because Nick asked me to, because we were both realists. We knew that despite all the diplomacy and the handshaking and the rhetoric, that to build a really better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down. And that makes enemies. Those people that call you dirty because you got the guts to stick your hands in the mud and try to build something better. And the idea that those people could be happy today, makes me really, really angry. [he hesitates a moment] Captain, you were the last one to see Nick alive. I don't think that's an accident, and I don't think you do either. So I'm gonna ask again, why was he there? STEVE ROGERS: He told me not to trust anyone. ALEXANDER PIERCE: I wonder if that included him. [Steve pauses a moment before replying] STEVE ROGERS: I'm sorry. Those were his last words. Excuse me. [Steve picks up his shield, places it on his back and starts to make his out of the office] ALEXANDER PIERCE: Captain. [Steve stops and looks at Pierce] Somebody murdered my friend and I'm gonna find out why. Anyone gets in my way, they're gonna regret it. Anyone. STEVE ROGERS: Understood. [Steve turns and leaves Pierce's office and goes into the elevator] Operations control. S.H.I.E.L.D. COMPUTER: Confirmed. [just as the elevator doors are about to close Rumlow steps in with two S.T.R.I.K.E. agents] BROCK RUMLOW: All S.T.R.I.K.E. personal on site. S.T.R.I.K.E. AGENT #1: Understood. S.T.R.I.K.E. AGENT #2: Yes, sir. BROCK RUMLOW: Forensics. S.H.I.E.L.D. Computer: Confirmed. BROCK RUMLOW: Cap. STEVE ROGERS: Rumlow. [the elevator doors close and they start riding down] BROCK RUMLOW: Evidence response found some fibers on the roof they want us to see. You want me to get the tac-team ready? STEVE ROGERS: No, lets wait and see what it is first. BROCK RUMLOW: Right. [Steve notices one of the agents touching his weapon suspiciously. The elevator stops and more S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.T.R.I.K.E. agents enter] S.H.I.E.L.D. AGENT #1: What's the status so far? S.H.I.E.L.D. AGENT #2: Administrations level. S.H.I.E.L.D. COMPUTER: Confirmed. S.H.I.E.L.D. AGENT #2: [to Steve] Excuse me. BROCK RUMLOW: [to Steve] Um... sorry about what happened with Fury. Messed up what happened to him. STEVE ROGERS: Thank you. [Feeling something is off, Steve looks at the agents in the elevator and notices one of them is sweating, then the elevator stops and more agents enter] S.T.R.I.K.E. AGENT #3: Records. S.H.I.E.L.D. COMPUTER: Confirmed. [As the elevator doors close Steve realizes he's been surrounded by agents] STEVE ROGERS: Before we get started, does anyone want to get out? [there's a moment's pause before suddenly one of the agents turns and uses an electric rod to give Steve a shock, the others grab him and try to strap his wrists with magnetic cuffs, Steve manages to knock some of them down but one cuff remains, then Rumlow uses his rod to give Steve a shock. Sitwell is in a controls room watching them from a monitor] JASPER SITWELL: Mobilize S.T.R.I.K.E. units, 25th floor. [Steve manages free himself from the magnetic cuff and knock all the agents down, he turns to Rumlow] BROCK RUMLOW: Woh, big guy. I just want you to know, Cap, this ain't personal. [Rumlow then goes to attack Steve with his electric rod but Steve manages to defend himself and eventually knocks Rumlow out] STEVE ROGERS: It kind of feels personal. [Steve picks up his shield then opens the elevator doors, but he's faced by a team of S.T.R.I.K.E. agents pointing their weapons at him] 25th FLOOR S.T.R.I.K.E. AGENT: Drop the shield! Put your hands in the air! [Steve uses his shield to breaks off the elevator wires which sends the elevator down, as he forces the doors open he sees more S.T.R.I.K.E. agents approaching him, he closes the door and looks for a way out] S.T.R.I.K.E. Agent: Give it up, Rogers! Get that door open! You have nowhere to go! [Steve breaks through the gla** in the elevator and plummets down to finally hit the ground floor, from his monitor Sitwell watches in shock as Steve gets up and starts running off] JASPER SITWELL: Are you kidding me? [ordering the S.T.R.I.K.E. team] He's headed for the garage. Lock down the bridge! [Steve rides out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. garage on his motorcycle, evading the obstacles laid out but then a Quinjet emerges ahead of him] QUINJET PILOT: Stand down, Captain Rogers. Stand down. [the Quinjet lowers it's machine gun] Repeat, stand down. [as Steve doesn't stop they start shooting at him, Steve throws his shield into the propellers to jam it, giving him an opportunity to hop onto it and do more damage to the jet with his shield before jumping off as the jet goes crashing down and he escapes] JASPER SITWELL: [to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents] Eyes here. [everyone, including Agent 13, to look at Sitwell] Whatever your op is, bury it. This is level one. Contact DOT. All traffic lights in the district go red. Shut all runways at BWI, IAD and Reagan. All security cameras in the city go through this monitor, right here. Scan all open sources. Phones, computers, PDA's, whatever. If someone Tweets about this guy, I want to know about it. SHARON CARTER: With all due respect, If S.H.I.E.L.D. is conducting a manhunt for Captain America, we deserve to know why. ALEXANDER PIERCE: Because he lied to us. [Pierce enters the room] Captain Rogers has information regarding the d**h of Director Fury, he refused to share it. As difficult as this is to accept, Captain America is a fugitive from S.H.I.E.L.D. [Disguised as a civilian dressed in a hoody, Steve goes back to the hospital to retrieve the flash drive from the vending machine but sees it's gone. Natasha appears behind him chewing some gum, in anger Steve pushes her into a room] STEVE ROGERS: Where is it? NATASHA ROMANOFF: Safe. STEVE ROGERS: Do better! NATASHA ROMANOFF: Where did you get it? STEVE ROGERS: Why would I tell you? NATASHA ROMANOFF: Fury gave it to you. Why? STEVE ROGERS: What's on it? NATASHA ROMANOFF: I don't know. STEVE ROGERS: Stop lying! NATASHA ROMANOFF: I only act like I know everything, Rogers. STEVE ROGERS: I bet you knew Fury hired the pirates, didn't you? NATASHA ROMANOFF: Well, it makes sense. The ship was dirty, Fury needed a way in, so do you. STEVE ROGERS: I'm not gonna ask you again. NATASHA ROMANOFF: I know who k**ed Fury. Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists, the ones who do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited with over two dozen a**a**inations in the last fifty years. STEVE ROGERS: So he's a ghost story. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Five years ago I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Iran, somebody shot at my tires near Odessa. We lost control, went straight over a cliff, I pulled us out, but the Winter Soldier was there. I was covering my engineer, so he shot him straight through me. [she pulls up her shirt to show him the bullet wound on the side of her stomach] A Soviet slag, no rifling. Bye-bye bikinis.< STEVE ROGERS: Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them now. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Going after him is a dead end. I know, I've tried. [Natasha holds up the flash drive] Like you said, he's a ghost story. [Steve takes the flash drive from her] STEVE ROGERS: Well, let's find out what the ghost wants.
