There's something wrong with me.
A void.
I thought it started when my sister died.
but...
Now it seems like something bigger.
Just a...
void.
Or maybe I'm just bored.
They send me a job, I clock in,
Get in, get out, you know?
I'm in the cleaning business.
This week it's Malaysia and Mexico.
I thought throwing myself into work was...
The answer.
But I'm not focused and I'm not
happy, and I have no purpose.
It's not that I lack purpose, I'm just
drifting like a river.
Or like an old leaf.
Or like an old leaf on a
river.
Which do you think is better?
Hey!
You weren't listening to me.
It's like your mind is somewhere else.
Well, whatever.
You're useless to me unless you can
help me get past that facial recognition issue.
Ah.
Hello.
Can you help me get in there?
No?
Hmm.
Guess you've got your own problems.
Well, it didn't say how to destroy
the evidence in the assignment.
This is going to get messy.
Stop right there!
Hi.
Now that's a face that can open
a scanner.
Did Valentina send you?
This research is Oxford property.
You're going to tell me how I don't
understand.
And how you've made a real breakthrough.
And that it's going to change the world.
No, no, no.
It could end the world.
Valentina doesn't understand what happened here.
Look, blame the U.S. government for...
The troublesome research.
Now we need to get rid of
all of this.
You think I like taking orders, going
from one job to another doing the same
thing all the time?
Don't do it.
I wouldn't do that.
Always a struggle for a gun?
You shoot, I dodge.
Oh my god.
Tell Valentina she's making a mistake.
You guys can never aim for anything.
Always collateral damage.
You tried to say your last words.
Project Sentry isn't what she thinks.
So far we've seen...
Oh, damn it.
I needed that face.
Well.
The task is...
Oh, wait.
Hold on.
The task is complete.
What's next?
lobosolo73
Representative Barnes, as a freshman congressman, any
words about today's hearing?
Well, I'm not on the impeachment committee,
but the rumors of irregularities are very
concerning.
They're very, very concerning and troubling.
And I think my constituents in Brooklyn
deserve better,
so we're going to get to the bottom
of this concerning matter.
Thank you.
Today, the committee meets to examine
this official sitting before you.
Articles of impeachment have been filed against
her.
And when we vote in favor of
impeachment, you will be removed from
your position permanently.
Please state your name for the record.
Valentina Allegra DeFontaine.
A Miss Fontaine.
No, it's DeFontaine.
You forgot the De.
Mr. Anderson, for example, is Secretary of
State, not Secretary of Defense.
Ms. DeFontaine.
At this moment, you're serving as
a Director of the CIA, correct?
That's correct.
And before that, you were the chair
of the board of directors at Ox Group?
Yes.
Although I've completely divested from Ox
since taking office, I now sit on
the board in a strategic advisory capacity.
Following this strategic guidance, the Ox Group
maintains significant stakes in unregulated labs in
foreign countries and rumors of human experimentation.
All part of an illegal operation to
develop your own super-powered individuals.
May I speak now, Congressman?
Yes.
First of all, I don't have time
to entertain these rumors and this gossip.
At this moment, 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 aren't knocking on our
door.
We don't have reliable heroes
which is why the responsibility falls on
me, us, the American government, to
protect its citizens.
And you know, everything I have done
in my role both at Ox and
at the CIA has been done with
that goal in mind.
Order.
Madam 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 into.
Then you don't mind if this committee...
continues this investigation?
Oh, of course not.
Shit.
We need to get all of this
out of here as soon as possible.
Yes.
So far, we've eliminated all the case
studies.
Just get rid of any loose thread that's hanging
that could get me impeached or land
me in federal prison.
Copy.
No prison.
What about our shadow operations in
the field?
Have all those loose ends been tied
up?
Well, the ends are tied up, yes, but...
The rope is on fire.
What?
Could you say it normally please?
Fine.
Um, an agent blew up an entire building.
Lab in downtown Kuala Lumpur.
Whatever.
Were the new assignments sent out?
Yes, ma'am.
Everyone but one has already checked in.
Where is she?
Going home.
Hello, Bridget.
These dudes with the big waves, get
out of my way.
I don't know, man.
I'm clocking out on the porch.
Your underperformers will be reported to DoorDash
headquarters.
I like you.
Milena?
It's open!
Protecting you from the warm nights.
Night.
Milena!
So good to see you!
Hi Dad.
Sorry for the wait.
I was on an important call.
Highly classified.
How long has it been?
A year?
Well, yes, I guess...
I guess it has been.
Have you been busy with work?
Oh yeah.
Yes, lots of...
Lots of work.
Me too.
Too many irons in the fire.
Security.
My limo business.
You wouldn't believe the important people
I find myself driving.
So you feel fulfilled?
Oh yeah.
Yes, very fulfilled.
So fulfilled.
Moving to DC.
Best decision I ever made.
Isn't this technically Baltimore?
No, Baltimore starts at the next block.
But why do you ask that?
What brings you here?
I...
I wanted to talk to you about
Valentina.
Well.
New mission, you get to Red Guardian,
you want help
No, I think I'm going to quit.
I would burn the city to the ground
to work for her.
What?
You just said you felt fulfilled.
Lena, I was lying.
Look around.
I'm miserable.
Give me her number.
No way.
Give it to me.
I'll call her.
I...
Stop, Nancy.
Stop.
Lena.
Lena, what's wrong?
The light inside you is dim even by
Eastern European standards.
I've been wondering, you know, sort of like:
what...
...is the point...
in any of this?
The point of work is fame and
fortune.
Fortune buys friends and love and a
bunch of cool clothes.
Well.
Okay, okay.
No, no, no.
You want to know when I was
truly happy?
Yes, please.
When I was serving my country.
As a hero.
Saving civilians in the streets.
Being cheered by the crowd.
Worshipped like a god.
I never had that.
There's no higher calling
Your sister understood something about that.
Maybe it's time for you to follow
in her footsteps.
Why do you have this photo, Al?
We were so bad.
You were happy.
I'll make you something.
You know, I'm still a super soldier
in this pride.
Maybe you could put in a good
word with Valentina for me.
Okay, Val.
Reporting for duty, what's my next assignment?
Thank you, Miss Beloved.
I was starting to worry.
After this, I need a change.
Oh, really?
Yes, maybe something more public.
Interesting.
Yelena is ready for her close-up.
Yeah, this just isn't working for me
anymore.
Well, you know I love promoting
women.
Complete this last task for Ox
and you've got a deal.
Fine.
Good.
There's a warehouse facility, a vault, built
a mile down, into a mountain.
It stores all of Ox Group's most important
sensitive assets.
Intel has reached a dishonest operative
with attributes perfectly designed to steal from me
intends to...
Well, rob me.
I need you to follow the target
Get inside and find out what they intend
to steal.
I'll add your biometric data to the system.
You'll have complete access.
Once you assess what they're stealing,
you have the green light to terminate
-site.
And then, no problem.
You know, we can find you some
good documentary material.
Actually, it's very simple.
It's just a small target.
And then we're done.
No!
What's happening?
You're not even my target!
You're mine!
I'm not here for you.
What?
There you are.
Now what?
Go get her yourself.
Oh.
Is she actually?
the...
Oh.
Oh, no.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm Bob.
Oh.
Yes, these are the Chitauri handcuffs.
Recovered from the Battle of New York
by first responders.
They came with a new property.
Just reminds us that, of course, we
fight.
But then we get back up again.
Oh, wow.
Yes.
That's inspiring.
Thank you, Congressman.
I'm very happy you're here.
Yes, it's a beautiful invention.
Product.
Well, the first responders finally found me.
Yes.
That's cute.
Cute?
Oh.
This will influence the movement of the
savior's ass.
Oh.
Okay, can you go get it?
Bill?
Yes.
Thanks.
This Avenger Guardian propaganda reeks of
desperation.
If you really thought that, you wouldn't
be here.
You're scared because your investigation into my
office came up clean.
Spotlessly clean.
Almost as if someone frantically got rid of
all the evidence.
Or as if someone was incredibly innocent.
Without evidence, this impeachment process is running
on borrowed time.
Excuse me.
Oh.
How cool!
Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
What do you think?
Oh.
Hello.
Mel, right?
Mmm-hmm.
All this must seem like ancient history
to you.
You know, Kierkegaard says that life can...
Only be understood backwards.
Very true.
Is it?
I don't really know.
Though it sounded good.
He believed it was up to individuals
to create values.
Mmm.
I know who you are and what
you're doing.
What am I doing?
You're working with me.
You're trying to get me on your
side.
Okay, look.
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 Valentino on schedule.
Oh, what's this?
Is this your trash?
It's my business card.
Oh.
In case you need help or,
you know, want to share some
secret hidden evidence.
Well.
Goodbye.
Hi.
Who are you?
I'm Bob.
I told you, I'm, uh, yeah.
Shelling.
Jesus Christ, stop saying Bob.
Who sent you, Bob?
Nobody.
Why would they send me?
Were all of you sent?
I'm not sure what's going on here, but
you're all exhausting and my job is
done.
Oh, I bet you see my job.
It's watching you.
So no, you're not
going anywhere else.
So you're watching her,
huh?
That's a pretty decent cover for someone
stealing Hawks assets.
I'm not stealing
She's stealing.
Okay.
It's clear we've all worked for
Valentino in some kind of Shadowhawks role.
So what?
So all of this is Hawks
mysteries.
But so are we.
Which makes us the unknown liabilities in this.
Speak for yourself.
We're the evidence and this is
the shredder.
She wants us gone.
Your theory is flawed.
Oh, please.
Go on.
Fine.
Well, let's look at the facts.
The infamous Ghost.
A SHIELD reject on the run across
15 nations.
Dead girl over there, she destroyed
half of Budapest.
Don't talk about that
And you.
A former Red Room assassin.
Only God knows the blood on your
hands.
Pretty rich coming from a dime-store
Captain America.
I want you to know I was actually
the official Captain America, so.
Yeah, but for like two seconds before you
publicly murdered an innocent man in the
streets.
Do I have that right?
Really define innocent.
Hey, look.
I'm a decorated war veteran, okay?
I have a loving wife and a
son.
Let's be honest.
You guys are just cheap mercenaries, alright?
So clearly I wasn't supposed to bring
you in.
That was funny.
Thanks.
We needed that.
It's getting pretty 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 going to blow it.
But this weirdo wasn't part of the
job, so I need to know.
How did you get in?
I don't remember.
Excellent answer.
Alright, tie him up.
Wow.
No.
And goodbye.
Hey.
Oh.
Do you hear that?
Hey.
I have a plan.
Holy shit, dude.
She's docile.
Docile?
Yeah.
Oh.
I mean, right.
Hey.
My team is preparing a juicy
package for the next hearing.
Package?
Yes, Bucky.
Read the packages.
As of now I can confirm everything.
Your guests are present and in the vault
Level five has been completely sealed.
Alright then.
Very well then, let's move to the final
step toward the torture chamber.
Are you sure?
Oh my god.
Hey.
Job or not, could you have some
respect, please?
Yeah, Jesus.
Get out there.
What?
Show me you have it.
I need it.
How was that?
Doesn't sound like a shredder.
It's an incinerator.
Two minutes.
Then Valentina's plate is clean.
You don't know that for sure.
It could be for anything.
It could be for when they come
to pick me up.
You feel that?
Temperature's rising dramatically like heat is
involved?
Well, it is an incinerator.
Oh, boy.
That's not a way forward.
How would you like to get out
there, Bob?
Alright, Ghost lady.
Ava.
Sure, whatever.
I don't care.
We need to help you phase through these
walls so you can open the
door.
She already tried.
I know she did, but we haven't
tried shutting down the sound barrier.
They built it just for her.
It has to be an independent power
source.
Come on, let's go.
What exactly are we looking for?
We're looking for hot, stupid questions, Bob.
I think I found it.
Come here.
Alright, I can override this.
You're laughing.
Well, that works.
I hope.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
You think she's coming back?
Should have seen this coming.
I'm sorry.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Hey, I didn't think you'd come back.
Thanks.
Had to.
Someone cut the power to the elevator.
Good evening.
It's nice to be in the room, you
know.
Well, what's up, Mal?
Just spit it out already.
What?
Umm, it's your guests.
Somehow they managed to evade the housewarming gift.
Oh, come on.
And, uh, is it possible they've...
Maybe, uh, joined forces against you?
Mal, these are defective losers.
Antisocial tragedy in human form.
You know, honestly, I can't think of
a worse group of people trying to
work together
Oh my god.
Right.
It's just that, uh, what?
They're working together?
What?
Who the fuck is this guy?
I have no idea.
I need a John Doe identification.
I want to know what this man looks like.
The guy got into my supposedly impenetrable fortress.
Fine.
And call Holt and give him the
coordinates of the vault.
I want the entire strike team mobilized.
We need to end this now.
Alright.
I'm calling now.
Grove?
Everyone has a reason to be here
except this guy.
Hey, Bobby, talk less to yourself and more...
talking to us.
Shit.
Tell me how you got in here
Right now, goddammit, right now.
I swear, man, 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 here in
my pajamas.
I don't know what's going on.
Okay, then show me where you woke up.
Go on.
In there.
Where everything's on fire.
That's really convenient.
Walk and talk.
You don't remember anything?
A bag over your head and a needle in
your neck?
No.
Chokehold, nerve pinch?
No.
I think he's just a civilian.
If he's a civilian, he also knows
too much.
If he's an agent, he's useless.
Either way, I say we throw him
Back into the fire.
You said you're Captain America.
Why are you laughing?
Just because you're an idiot, you know.
It's just funny.
Hey, wait, okay, okay, wait, wait, wait.
You've jerked our little dicks around.
It was very amusing.
You go over there.
Bob, come with me.
Come here.
Are you hurt?
No, I'm fine.
I'm okay.
You don't look okay.
Yeah, well, we just met.
This is just how I am.
Oh?
Are you talking to yourself?
Yes.
You're being more aggressive.
I mean, that guy's been an asshole
to me from the start.
Ah, I get it.
He sucks.
But we have to work together to
get out of here, so...
Well, you guys should just ditch
me.
It'll be easier.
Oh no, we'll die down here.
Well, whatever.
I think it's better for everyone if I...
Just stay here.
Okay, I get it.
We all feel like crap sometimes.
And loneliness, I understand it.
I get it.
And that darkness becomes pretty tempting, and
then it starts to feel a little
bit like...
A void.
Yeah, a void.
What do you do about it?
You push it down.
Just push it down deep.
Great.
That's really good advice.
You're welcome.
Ugh!
Are you two done with therapy?
I think I found a way out.
Look, we're all alone here.
All of us.
Let's stick together until we make it.
to the surface, and after that,
you can pick a fight with the
super soldier or get yourself killed.
I don't care.
Okay?
Okay.
Yeah.
Hello?
Hi, it's Mel.
Mel!
Hi!
You called.
I did.
I know you're new to DC,
And I wanted to, uh, network.
Right.
So, uh, how do you feel about
your new job?
Oh, it's, uh, great.
I 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 years old.
It's a bit strange.
That it's all over now, isn't it?
I mean, the Avengers are gone.
No one else is coming to save
the day.
Maybe we could be the people who
are coming.
Just come and testify against her.
You really must not know my boss.
We can protect you.
Oh, can you?
That's coming from the rookie congressman?
Who hasn't gotten the bill passed?
The Winter Soldier?
Come on, Mel.
Just give me something.
Yeah, I can, but I don't do that.
Not anymore.
Thank you, Congressman.
Have a great night.
So, none of us can fly?
Or do we just hit things and punch
and shoot?
It's okay, don't worry.
I got this.
You should try again.
We're pretty far down here.
Hey, okay, why don't you just go
through the walls or whatever and then
throw us down a rope?
Yeah, well, first of all, someone else
would have to ask me nicely.
And second, I have to
know where I'm going because I've never
been able to hold it for longer than
a minute.
So I'd just get lost in an
ocean of earth and then I'd be
crushed to death.
Okay?
Hold on a sec.
Oh, shut up.
God, this sucks.
Oh, I have an idea.
Right, left, right.
Ugh! Which one of you is wet?
I run hot, I'm sorry.
Someone has a weird hard ass.
That's not my ass, it's my suit.
Well, you need to get used to
it.
Oh, excuse me for the inconvenience.
I mean, I only spent my entire
life in it.
Hooked up to machines so I could...
create this physical cage to keep my
body from disintegrating at all times.
Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.
Yeah, you don't want to start
the whole soap story again.
I win.
I'm enslaved to the murder child
over here.
Well, you're just a kid, so...
Oh, so that's a good thing?
I just think it might be nice
to know that you don't actually know
me best.
Thanks, I feel so much better.
Knock it off.
My God, why are you panting?
Please don't get winded on the job.
It's the John Doe.
He is the Sentry Project.
No, everyone who went through the Sentry Project
is dead, Mel.
That's why we're in this whole stupid
mess.
Yeah, but look there.
Robert Reynolds entered pre-trial program in
Malaysia.
And he'd been having a really rough time
before that.
One of the test subjects.
How did he get into my vault?
He was supposed to be dead.
You dumped him with the rest
of the evidence.
If he survived the procedure, that means that,
yeah, it really could work.
This is crazy, I can't even see the
floor.
We're not talking about how high
we are.
I'm not disrespecting the height.
Hey, I think I see the door.
Okay, all right.
Now what?
I guess one of us should go
first.
Then the other three jump right after.
Sorry, I don't think I really thought
that far ahead.
Great plan, Bobby.
Always making things worse.
Those damn boots.
I don't think I can hold this
much longer.
Hand me your staff.
I can reach it.
What?
No way.
You're just going to leave us.
Okay, spin us around and then I'll...
catch you guys.
I'm not spinning anybody around.
Okay, someone has to go first.
Cucumber, cucumber, cucumber.
What the hell is happening?
Growing up, someone told me that you
could stop and sneeze if you confused
your brain.
I always yelled "cucumber."
Good.
I need to sneeze.
But if I sneeze, you know, 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, no, no, no, no, no.
It's gonna be like this.
Oh, no.
Cucumber, cucumber, cucumber, cucumber.
Cucumber, cucumber, cucumber.
Just give it to me.
I got it.
Yeah, you're all safe now.
I made a tactical decision to secure
my own safety and then ensure all of
yours.
Pretty ungrateful if you ask me.
But you'll make it, right Bobby?
Looks like you might have a
leg and chest pain day ahead.
What?
I'm watching him.
I'm observing him.
John.
What, Olivia?
What?
Please.
I'm watching him.
He's fine.
You're on your phone.
You know what?
That's how I do it, and
you can do it yourself.
Okay?
What the hell are you doing?
I'm done.
Fine.
We need to come up with a
plan.
This is what we're going to do.
Oh, now you're the boss.
Cute.
Well, yeah.
It's your only chance to get out
of here, so.
Fine.
I think I'll probably just give up.
Fine, fine.
Every man for himself.
Why should you be in charge?
You almost got us all killed, didn't you?
back 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 U.S. Presidents.
What else?
Uh, oh.
High school state football champions.
Back to back to back.
Go Bears!
Oh, wow.
When I was five, I was on
a little league soccer team called West
Chesapeake Valley Thunderbolts, sponsored by Shane's Tire
Shop.
We didn't win a single game the entire time.
This girl, Mindy, made out with
the midfielder.
Anyone else have any pointless childhood stories
to tell me?
I grew up in a lab prison.
Meth-addicted chicken, sighing and spinning around.
Summer job.
Right.
Well, here's the plan.
We set off an explosion to bring
them in.
I don't know.
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.
Everyone's gonna wait for
you?
It'll only work if you wait.
It's a terrible plan.
Ava, find us an escape vehicle.
What about me?
Stay behind me, Bob.
Let's do this.
What's the latest?
We're entrenched, ma'am.
I've got it covered from every angle.
No way out.
Get the ready team to the front.
It'll be a non-lethal protocol.
Non-lethal?
Nobody told me this wasn't
lethal.
Well, I'm telling you now, Holt.
It's just...
I spent a lot of time planning
for lethal.
So change the plan, all right?
There's someone in there.
I don't want to catch any strays.
Strike team four, move in now.
Non-lethal.
It's been a minute, Barbara.
Maybe I should have a gun?
No, I don't think so.
But we're going to need a fight,
okay?
I'll fight.
Stay behind me.
The medical trial was supposed to make
me better.
I don't know.
I feel like maybe I could help.
I thought you said you didn't
know anything about it?
A little.
I just remember they said I was
going to die.
They said it was for people who
wanted to do something better for themselves.
You can trust me, Bob.
Can I?
No, not really.
I've always had these episodes ever since
I was a kid.
There's a high and then there's a
low, and then my memory just goes
blank.
But this time I feel like there's
something bad that happened, or I did something
bad.
I mean, everyone here has done bad
things.
I think this is like a whole
new kind of...
Yeah.
Wake up.
No.
Why didn't that work?
But you have to turn it back on.
on.
I mean, they were blinded, guys.
Yeah, I know, Bob.
That was your plan.
You're not helping, Bob.
Give me that.
Follow me.
I hate to say it, but I
think Walter was right.
His name is Walker, Bob.
Turn on the lights, Yelena.
I have to do everything myself.
I'll repeat myself.
Tango Foxtrot Lima requesting report.
Next team.
Get in there.
Where is he?
He's gone.
Every man for himself, right?
So...
Get in there.
Get down.
I can help.
Stay.
Walker, come back.
Don't go near them.
I can help.
Shake it off.
How do I do this?
Point and shoot.
Aim a little higher.
That was incredible.
Not so much.
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 then...
What's going on in there?
We probably had about 60 seconds until
they mobilized.
If Ghost Lady actually did what
she was supposed to, maybe we'll all
get out of here alive.
I don't want to carry this anymore.
Shut up, Bob.
You should remember it.
I need a truck.
Where's Ava?
She's gone.
Of course she is.
This way.
Get in.
You gonna be okay back there?
Yeah.
Yeah?
I'm fine.
Shit.
That's the second time he's come back.
This was the only way out, okay?
That's it.
Oh, crap.
Okay, it's funny you talk like that.
Oh my god.
Identify yourselves, soldiers.
Part of the medical team.
Did you get that injury at the
hospital?
Medical bay set up on the north side.
Now medical bay wants to fight.
We're heading to the bay.
Don't let Mr. Patterson bother you.
Military order.
Identify yourself.
No.
Oh, wow.
Master.
Remove your helmet and identify yourself now,
soldiers.
You're messing with the wrong...
Hey!
There!
I'm not sure about that.
Open fire.
End this now or I want it
tipped up.
What are you doing?
Stop!
Come on, let's go.
That's why he did it.
Is that it?
Mel, I need you to connect me
to our satellites.
I need to know exactly where
He's going and I need you now.
I, uh, think he's going to come back down.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, no.
What was that?
That was her.
She did that to him.
Yeah, she turned him into a Tomahawk
cruise missile.
You were right.
She definitely wants us dead.
Testing someone like that is...
unsafe.
Yeah, she lost it.
No.
She found it.
And she's going to use it.
What is this?
Power of a thousand suns in explosion.
Golden guardian of the good.
It's a mouthful.
Wow.
Sentry.
Very bright.
What do you know about this?
Uh, there was a rumor that Ox is
on the verge of some kind of
major breakthrough.
Whatever it was, it's too extreme.
Test subjects were dying.
And then the government investigated.
Val shut it down.
She put me in charge of the clamp-down.
Let's get home without getting ourselves
killed.
New accommodations might be needed.
Is anyone hungry?
Cactusberry.
So, uh, that woman back there, did she...
I...
Did you know her?
Yes, I did.
She had a hard life.
She killed a lot of people and
then got killed herself.
Same as all of us someday.
It's a shit life.
Yeah, well, what other life can we
have?
Oh, there's the guy with the
Norman Rockwell family waiting for him at
home.
Yeah.
How do you do that?
Keep working at it every day.
Never giving up.
Beautiful.
Dr. Vail, that was truly beautiful.
Yeah, that show's not on anymore, is it?
Yes, it is.
I watch it.
Yeah, it got canceled a few years
back.
It was a good show.
It was on, but it's not on
anymore.
Yeah, you two take him to the
pub, too.
Well, this isn't great.
Seven local media have picked up the
explosion story.
One has already connected the vault to
Ox.
And I've got 15 messages from concerned
housekeepers from our side of the aisle.
You know, I don't say it enough,
but I'm so impressed that in
circumstances like these, you can still get
me a good cup of coffee.
It's extraordinary.
Thank you.
Well, time to change course.
I'm going to need a new team
of scientists, and I want them there
when we arrive.
DC? No.
New place.
But we stopped mid-renovation when we...
shut the project down.
Exactly.
We're no longer officially shut down.
What about Yelena and the others?
Nothing yet.
Get rid of them, Al.
They're the last piece of evidence.
On it.
Let me know when our guy arrives.
The box gets to New York.
Those birds are flying too high.
They're doing reconnaissance circuits at 4,000
feet.
I mean, they don't know what they're
doing.
They'll be five or ten clicks away
in an instant.
Okay, well, could we get it?
You're in the army.
Five or ten clicks.
It's heading straight for us.
It's nobody.
It's nothing.
Oh God.
Yelena!
It's your father!
Don't go into the box!
Valentina is going to burn you alive!
Yelena!
So I was able to catch up with
Mr. Fontaine at the fancy event.
I thought it would be good networking.
But as soon as I hear the
coordinates of the vault, I rush back home.
I understand the tactical part.
Then I drive straight here.
Oh, America is so big.
Have you ever driven through Oklahoma so fast?
Ah, I forgot to tell you.
Don't drink from the big old back
there.
Alexei, have you slept?
I'll sleep when I'm dead!
I'd prefer not to die today.
So maybe someone else should be driving?
Mr. Walker, second coming of Captain America.
You and I have much in
common, you know.
I too was a state-sponsored super soldier.
In Russia.
But also, very different because Walker actually
knows what he's doing.
A ghost?
Ah, what a magician.
You disappear, you reappear.
When you reappear, sometimes things aren't
appearing in the right place?
No, I think it's better to just...
Ignore him sometimes.
What impressive friends you've gathered!
We're not friends, Alexei.
No, we're just disposable criminals.
Whatever you are, the light inside you
is brighter in my opinion.
How about this?
You are a team of anti-establishment fighters-
heroes.
Yeah, I guess.
Thunderbolts.
What?
You learned that, huh?
Oh my god.
The West Chesapeake Valley Thunderbolts, sponsored by
Dimitri's Elite Industrial Lighting and Electronics, never
won a game.
But you and I had so much
fun.
There was a girl who pooped during
a game.
It was crazy.
I was yelling at the referee.
It was sponsored by Shane's Tire Shop.
Shane?
What are you talking about, Shane?
You didn't have that kind of money.
No, Shane, what a joke.
You really need to sleep.
What about that light bulb you mentioned?
What's the plan?
Where am I driving to?
It's not like that.
We need to escape and we need
to hide.
Yeah, it would be much smarter for us to split
up.
Actually, there's 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 for a long
time.
This team has everything needed to be a team
that can rise to glory.
A team that can bring light from
darkness.
A team of heroes that can be deployed
at the weakest points and perform at their
best.
No, no, this isn't marketing.
opportunity, okay?
Valentina is hunting us and we can't
win.
Do you understand?
But I do, you don't.
Look, you said Valentina is going to
use the power of this century's
project to take us over and kill us
all.
You need to face her,
You and your team.
You've got a convoy approaching rapidly, step by step.
On it.
Hey there, Captain.
Is that all?
We'll get it any moment now.
We're working on it.
A little faster.
Alexei!
It's okay, don't worry, don't worry.
Keep firing, all right?
Deploy defensive measures.
Got it.
Ah, oh my God.
What are you doing?
What the hell?
Get out of the minefield!
Keep going, bitch!
Jesus Christ!
Not everyone's as clean as you today!
Time to bring out the bottle service.
Come on girls, give me the good
stuff.
Not very appropriate!
Vodka!
Vodka now!
Oh my God.
This is nothing, guys.
Oh, what's wrong with you?
Give me a break!
Alright, I'm back.
That's what I'm talking about!
...from the impeachment committee.
What I can say is that I have
received intel from a trusted colleague
that we're bringing some new evidence
in.
And that evidence is juicy.
The impeachment was just an appetizer.
They should have a nice, cozy
federal prison cell ready for Ms.
Fontaine.
I just got word the impeachment committee
is meeting tonight.
This is serious, Val.
Were you able to get the lab
fully operational?
Yes, but the rest of the building
is only 70% complete.
Well, we'll move up there now.
Welcome to the Watchtower.
Val, something happened in Malaysia.
Have you read his file?
Delusions of grandeur, depression.
Someone who's unbalanced, amplified by the treatment?
People in the labs?
They were just test subjects.
You were never going to be the
one.
Does this look enriching enough?
Very enriching.
How are you feeling, Robert?
Are you comfortable?
That one.
My name is Valentina Allegra DeFontaine.
No, no, no, you tried to kill
us.
Let me explain.
Would you like that?
You signed up for a medical study,
which was, as advertised, on the cutting
edge of human enhancement.
But not everyone could handle the amount
of greatness we had in mind.
It happened to Yelena.
Yelena?
Well, those people you were with,
they're not honest people.
They're criminals.
Villains, really.
No, no, they helped me.
Robert, let's forget about them and...
focus on you and how perfect you
are.
You've always thought of yourself as a
victim, but you overcame that.
You went to Malaysia.
You were lost, weren't you?
You were searching.
And you found me.
How do you know all that?
I know everything.
I know about your mother'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 tell you
that you could know.
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?
Embraced?
To be chosen?
Nobody else sees it.
But I do.
And I believe that maybe your past is
what makes you so perfect?
Don't tell anyone
Yes, Dad, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Now don't keep it a secret.
You know, I'm doing this job for...
a reason.
Dogs make you be your worst self.
Let's go for a walk.
What do you say?
Robert, maybe it's time we go.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of it.
Wait!
Would you excuse me just for a
moment?
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I can control it
The press will be here in the morning.
Time to show everyone what I've been
working on
Val, you gave someone a serum.
Like Steve Rogers, he becomes Captain America.
But you do it to someone this
unstable, I mean, who knows what it's
doing to him?
That's why we're building safeguards.
Didn't we make a kill switch?
Yes, but we threw it in the trash
along with everything else.
Well, then remake it.
I really don't care who this guy
was.
I know what he can become.
Bring the press here, as I asked.
No, no, no, no!
Just when I'm getting my team together.
Mister soldier, you are making a serious
mistake.
Save it for the committee.
What committee?
All of you are evidence in the impeachment
against Valentina.
We don't even work for Valentina anymore.
She tried to kill us.
We were ordered to destroy all
of her secrets.
Actually sent us to kill each other
in this vault.
But then we met Bob.
There was a man in the vault.
She's done something to him.
It's called Project Sentry.
He shot up into the sky, he
exploded and then crashed into this
mountain, and then he died, didn't die.
Yeah, I got it.
He's very, very scary.
Good.
Congressman Barnes.
It's okay, Walker.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you know me, Bucky.
So cut the crap 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 tough since Olivia
left you and took your son, but
anyway, this is on you.
Bucky, there won't be any committee.
Okay?
There might not even be a government.
She has some big...
Yeah, I got it.
His name is Bob or Sentry and he flies.
Right?
And all of you are heroes going after Val,
ready to save the day.
You're chasing her together.
We were just trying to get home.
Alive, actually.
That's even more pathetic.
Shut your mouth.
Alright, the plane lands in six minutes.
Yeah.
Bucky, I need your help.
What is it?
Val has gone off the rails.
I'm talking about Project Sentry.
It's not just a failure; it's dangerous.
Project Sentry?
And this guy is a disaster waiting
to happen.
What guy?
Sentry.
Sentry!
We're at the old Avengers compound.
The press is coming tomorrow
morning.
Someone has to do something.
Shit, okay, I gotta go.
But come now, please.
Bring whoever you can, everyone you can.
Sentry.
It's Bob, Bucky.
I'm letting you go
You're coming with me.
Why?
For glory.
Well you know Valentina.
She has this thing out there.
People are going to get hurt.
And I need to stop her.
And you're going to help me.
Wait, us?
Why? You got somewhere to be?
Bucky, you hit the wrong people.
Look, I've been where you are.
You can run, but it won't get you
far.
Sooner or later, it'll catch up to
you.
And when it does, it'll be too late.
So you can do something about it.
Do it now or live with it forever.
Stop her and save Bob.
Hmm?
Yeah.
Yes!
Who did you think this job was going to
be?
I don't know.
I hope I've done something good.
Good.
Good girl.
Good enough.
Do you want to be good?
Or do you want to be someone
who changes the world?
Can't I be both?
I mean, I thought you wanted
to change the world for the better too
Mel, justice without power is just an
opinion.
Look, they raise you to believe that
there's a good guy and a bad
guy.
But then, over time, you realize
that there's a bad guy and a
worse guy
And nothing else.
Let me know when you come to
your senses.
Umm, I don't know.
It's okay, no, just try it again.
Yeah.
Let's just focus on it.
I believe in you.
Can I do that?
Do anything.
People think they know you.
They just see you as Bob.
They feel sorry for Bob.
I'm the only one who knows what
your true potential is, Robert.
And it has no limits.
Ready for the next lesson?
And then I have these little white
things.
I remember.
And then I have this 19.
45.
The long barrel.
Oh, wow.
It's big, it's long.
Yeah, it's a bit long.
And what about your hat?
The hat?
The helmet?
Yeah, whatever you want to call it.
It's like, cool.
You like it?
Do you like the hat?
Yeah, I think the hat is pretty nice.
What kind of super serum did you use?
Get?
I don't know, the standard one.
Hydra.
Oh, how fancy.
Mine was a Soviet recreation, but still...
Good.
We're the same, you and I.
I mean, we're different, but we're...
The same thing.
We could be co-leaders in this.
You get tired, I drive.
I don't get tired.
No, I mean, let's coordinate.
I don't actually want to drive.
Almost!
Fine.
Mr. Soldier, what's the secret plan?
The plan?
Plan.
I like this plan!
Isn't it crazy
To think about all the
Monumental battles that happened right here where
You're standing?
I don't really care.
I mean, the place wasn't cheap, but...
It has good optics.
Well, it's over, Valentina.
This ends today.
Wow, Congresswoman Barnes!
You know, I never thought you'd have
A promising political career, but less than
Half a term in.
Jeez!
We're taking Annabelle.
I don't think so.
JV team, Captain America.
Walker.
Oh, good to see you, Ava.
Yelena.
You look terrible.
Are you sure you're really ready for that
Public-facing role I asked you about?
Eat shit, Valentina.
Where's Bob?
Look at you.
You're all so adorable.
Just think, I send you down there to
Kill each other, and instead
You do me a solid and form a team.
Who's this old Santa?
I am Alexei Shostakov.
The Red Guardian.
What?
Where's Mel?
Mel?
Oh, Mel, yes.
Mel is having a bit of a loyalty issue.
But I'm very grateful that she
Stayed long enough to lure you all
In.
I'm not alone.
Robert.
Oh my God.
That's Bob.
Yes, he's changed a bit.
It is my great honor to present to you
The Sentry.
Hi, guys.
Oh, that's great.
All-powerful, invincible, stronger than all
The Avengers combined into one, and soon
To be known as Earth's mightiest hero.
Did you die with her?
Yes, well, it was...
Yes, it was my idea.
People love a classic hero.
Okay, I'll bite.
What's the plan?
Haven't you figured it out yet, Bucky?
Well at least you're somewhat cute.
You're not going to hurt people.
Oh, no.
No, I'm not going to hurt people.
I'm going to hurt you.
You see, the press is on their...
Way up here now and they're going to...
Witness the amazing power of Sentry as
He takes out this ruthless group of
Rogue agents, thus beginning a new era
In which I decide how to keep
The American people safe.
Answerable to no one.
I will be untouchable.
That's never going to happen.
Sentry, your first mission is to take
These criminals out.
I don't want to hurt you, guys.
Why don't you just surrender?
No, you don't want to do this,
Cop.
You can call me the Sentry.
Please, don't do this.
You don't 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 you do.
Enough talking!
Nobody messes with West Chesapeake
Valley Lightning!
Lightning?
No, no, no, no!
Wait!
Alexei, wait!
Stop!
Stop it, Bobby!
I'm so glad you could catch it.
A glimpse before your retirement.
The 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 have to do what I tell you,
Robert.
Why?
Okay, we need fresh blood.
No, no new plans.
The pain is too powerful.
Let's just regroup and think.
There has to be a way to
Stop that guy.
We're not regrouping, this isn't even a...
Team.
Of course we're a team!
We're the Thunderbolts!
I don't know what that means.
We need to go somewhere to discuss
This.
Discuss what?
We're going to regroup!
Oh my God, stop!
There is no us, there is no
Us.
Look, Bob transformed into that thing and...
There's nothing any of you can do
About it.
And what exactly did you do?
Because I seem to recall you got
Your ass kicked way worse than mine.
Yeah, yeah, I'm a mess!
I'm terrible.
We're all terrible.
And you're not a hero, you're not
Even a good person.
Bitch.
Slow down.
Alexei, I am not your little friend.
I haven't heard from you or seen
You in a year.
Okay, be nice to him.
Plus, now you're nice.
Is it my turn?
No, you know you're a piece of
Trash, Walker, your family too.
Jesus.
We're all losers.
And we lost.
It has to be more than a
Collaboration.
The hair, for example.
Maybe I should have had more of
A say.
Don't let those idiots get in your
Head.
The blonde is great.
Sure?
I don't know, I thought I liked it.
And now I'm not so sure.
Enough about the hair.
It's not just about the hair.
Are you still talking about the hair?
No, it's everything.
My suit, my name, my missions.
I mean, what?
Why would a god take orders from...
Anyone at all?
I think you're using the word
God a little loosely there.
No, no, because you said I was.
All-powerful and invincible and stronger than
An entire Avengers team, which includes
At least one god.
So I thought I was starting to...
I think maybe you don't know what I
Am.
Oh, damn it.
Or what I'm capable of.
Perhaps I need to show you.
This is very irritating.
You were going to turn on me,
Just like the rest of them.
I'm not afraid of you, Robert.
That's not what you need to be
Afraid of.
Good girl.
You've come back to your senses.
Come here, help me up.
I want a raise.
Fine, fine.
Clean up the body and
Tell Hulk it's finally time to go
Lethal on these losers.
Go.
No, I won't.
Not forever.
Fine, I will, because that's what family
Does.
Oh my God, stop.
If you cared, you would have called.
I would've liked to hear from you.
I lost my sister again, but for good.
And you disappeared.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how to do this.
I'm not good at it.
I didn't think she wanted me.
She did.
I can see that.
I'm late, but I'm here now.
I'm so alone.
I don't have anyone anymore.
All I do is sit and look
At my phone and think about all
The terrible things I've done, and
Then I go to work, and then
I drink and then I go home
To nobody, and I sit and
Think about all the terrible things
I've done again.
Stop, stop.
We all have things we regret.
Me?
My first test in the Red Room.
Anya, she was just a child.
She was so small.
So were you.
I know there were dark times, very,
Very dark times, but before, you were
Such a special girl.
Did you know this?
You walked into a room.
You made it bright.
You felt so much joy.
I don't remember that feeling.
You were very kind.
Remember why you wanted to
Be a goalkeeper on your terrible soccer team?
Team?
So then I didn't have to run?
Maybe that too, but you told me.
I want to be the one everyone
Can trust to catch them when they make a
Mistake.
That Yelena is still in you.
I still see her.
No.
You're stuck.
You're alone.
You just stare at your phone.
When I look at you, I don't...
See your mistakes.
That's why we need each other.
Well, that was actually good.
Okay?
Yeah?
They just cleaned the penthouse
And they say well, there's no body.
What?
Are you tired of fighting?
Let me help you.
Are you seeing this?
You're stuck.
Follow me!
Get in, get in!
Help!
You're safe,
Little one.
All of you know the truth.
You can't escape the void.
I don't think Bob's dark side has gotten
superpowers.
Take her to the street.
Let's go, let's go.
You heard him.
What are you doing?
It's what you said.
We're all alone
All of us.
Yelena!
Yelena, come on!
Lunch will be over soon!
Why have you brought us so far?
Anya, over here!
I'm sorry.
Yelena.
What is this?
No, no, no.
Bob, we don't have time for this.
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?
And what if she isn't?
I didn't know.
No, no, no.
Wait, wait.
I think she might be right.
When I went back to the vault,
I saw something.
I went somewhere.
I can't explain it, but what happened,
you see?
That's enough, Bob.
Enough.
Yelena?
I just want to talk, okay?
About what?
About the things we talked about in the vault.
Um, not much.
You know, just watching New York disappear
into a big maze of interconnected shame
housing.
Have you ever seen anything that crazy
before?
I don't know what you're trying to
say.
That you'll stop.
Oh, it's not me, me.
It's, it's, it's that.
The void.
I have these good days, you know?
where I feel, I feel invincible.
But then there are a lot of
bad days.
And I remember that nothing, nothing matters.
So you're just going to sit here
and let it take over?
There's no point fighting it.
At least I found a nice room.
The other rooms are much worse.
It's nice and quiet here.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
What I told you before was
wrong, Bob.
You can't stop it.
You can't contain it all by yourself.
Nobody can.
We have to let it out.
We have to spend time together.
And even if it doesn't
make the void go away, I promise you
it will feel lighter.
How do you know?
Because it's already done that for me.
Are you going to try to leave this place?
Leave?
What's happening?
Well.
Good.
What did you see?
Are you okay?
Oh, I'm fine.
I have a great past.
I'm totally fine.
Yeah.
This place is a mess.
We're here together.
Thanks guys.
Really?
Of course.
Here we are.
Shane's elite electronic Thunderbolts.
It's not Shane.
Well.
How do we get out of here?
As far as I know, it's just
infinite rooms.
Wait, you said this was the
nicest room you found and the others
were much worse, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, show us the worst.
He seems nice.
I hit the edge of the poster.
One more time.
That was the worst.
This way.
Let's go.
Help.
Okay.
I've been
here before.
It started.
I was traveling through Southeast Asia.
Thought I'd figure something out.
At least find more drugs.
Then there was this guy.
Started telling me about a medical
study.
An experimental drug that could make me...
stronger.
Felt like a miracle.
Finally I could prove to everyone that
I was more...
something.
And look what you unleashed.
The most embarrassing part was
thinking you could be anything more than...
nothing.
We're leaving.
No.
NO!
Let them go.
You think they care about you?
You don't matter...
to anyone.
That's not true!
Don't hurt her.
Robert De Niro.
I'm stronger than you.
Let's see.

I know we're all going through a lot
of feelings right now.
I am too.
I get it.
Give me half a second.
Are we live?
Excellent.
For years I've been working in secret
to develop a new era 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.
Now you're ours.
