The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! (2010) s02e21 Episode Script
The Deadliest Man Alive
Previously on Avengers I got your back, Cap! - Bucky, I told you - Yeah, I know.
But we're partners right? Let's finish this! It's over, Skull! Good bye, Captain America! - Cap! - No! No.
No! Bucky! For your defiance.
You and I still have a score to settle! I have Captain America in my sights You're late.
Smart bombs, nerve gas.
Germ warfare.
OK, this is creeping me out.
HYDRA's been working on this stuff for years Any one of these things could mean big trouble for the Allies.
That's why we're here Bucky.
No matter what We're taking down the Skull, once and for all.
And there came a day unlike any other When Earth's Mightiest Heroes found themselves united against a common threat.
On that day, they became the Avengers The Invincible armored Iron Man Thor Prince of Thunder The Hulk, strongest hero there is and Captain America the first Avenger, Assembled we are strong! Forever fight as one! Avengers, Assemble Quite the country you have built.
Here I sit, a war criminal eating better than most American workers.
Three times a day.
Is this what you call the American dream? It took years for you to infiltrate the US government as Dell Rusk.
Clearly you've set up the sabotage of our country.
I want details.
You have already lost.
Not playing games, Skull! What was Code Red really about? Why did you brainwash Falcon, Doc Samson? And the Winter Soldier.
A disappointment that one.
He fascinates you, doesn't he? One of the deadliest men on the planet, and yet Why? Who is the Winter Soldier? These are questions to which you may not want answers.
But, I will tell you this You have only yourself to blame Captain America.
- What is that thing? - HYDRA! It has to be after the Skull! Get someone to his cell! - You have parachutes on this craft? - Antigrav packs.
Put one on.
What are you? Haven't we talked about arguing with giant robots, Cap? We came as fast as we could when we picked up the SHIELD distress call.
Didn't even did it! Maybe 'cause you don't have one of these.
- You want to come up with an actual plan now? - Aim at the cannon.
Together! Come on, you piece of junk! Whatever that thing was, clearly there are more coming.
No, Sleepers, plural.
This was a serious piece of tech.
The Skull stole some part from the Army when he was posing as Secretary of Defense.
Others pieces date as far back as World War II.
Obviously the Skull has been working on this pet project for a long time.
We need to catch him and shut it down.
Fast.
I'm uploading data collected from the Sleeper's transmissions to everyone's ID card.
Start the search in Washington DC.
The Skull's last base of operations.
Let's move.
Tony I'd like to try a different tactic.
I wanna look for the Winter Soldier.
Call it a hunch.
What 's the deal, Steve? Ok.
I trust you.
But we have zero intel on Winter Soldier.
If you want him, you need someone sneaky and underhanded, with access to very classified files.
So, there's only one place to start.
Things rough at the top Hill? Let's just say I slept better when you were the one being woken up At 3 am to deal with the interdimensional threat of the month.
I'll be back as soon as we wrap up the Skrull hunt.
Until then drink more coffee.
Fury out.
About one last side job before you go back to SHIELD? Clearly Stark doesn't get the concept of undercover affairs.
The Red Skull escaped HYDRA base.
And I think that the Winter Soldier might be the key to catching him.
Skull cut the Winter Soldier loose.
You're wasting your time, and mine.
Fury, this is personal.
Nick, you once told me that if I ever needed something ever i could count on you.
I'm asking you now.
Crazy as it sounds, I think the Winter Soldier might be someone I know.
Whatever the Winter Soldier used to be is ancient history He's an assassin without a country and without honor! SHIELD had uncovered a new HYDRA research facility.
I took in a team to shut it down.
Except I didn't know I had a stowaway.
Move on, team.
We have to No.
I lost good men that day.
But he survived.
This is Columbia.
Afghanistan.
The Gulf.
To virtually every conflict we have a record of, Winter Soldier is there.
Always working from the shadows.
We don't know why he hasn't aged or who he is.
But if the Red Skull's behind him then Winter Soldier is just an intrument of the Skull's plans now.
A machine.
Nothing more.
But there's even a chance that he's I have to know the truth.
Will you help me or not? The data points here.
The Appalachian mountains.
COMSAT triangulated that the distress signal the Sleeper fired off is siding with that of the Winter Soldier There Another one! Out for a stroll with your friend.
Hold on Fury, look.
He's trying to stop it.
Bring the mountain down on it.
You shouldn't have come here.
I had to, Bucky.
Who's Bucky? Still don't believe me? Stop it.
Fury, he doesn't know what he's doing How'd you like to lose the other eye? I fought by your side for years! I know that's you, snap out of it Bucky Stop calling me that! Stop! We were supposed to be a team! This is my reward for being your partner? I didn't know you'd survived, Bucky.
We can help you.
No one can help me, Rogers.
When you took a long nap the world moved on.
And I moved with it.
Cap! Captain America has abandoned you little one.
You have a new teacher now.
Under my guidance We will make a difference, soldier.
He trained me.
Did things to my mind that made me cold as ice.
They put me in hibernation between missions.
You expect us to believe that? You never even questionned that things you were being told to do? Nick.
You don't have any skeletons in your closet, right Fury? This is on Red Skull.
This is was he does.
He destroys good people.
Turns friends against one another.
If we want to settle this if we want to bring an end to it We need to stop him.
Whatever's happening here just know that you and I have unfinished business.
Let's put the past aside for now.
Tell us where the Skull is and what he's up to.
I don't know where he is.
But the Sleepers are his failsafe.
If this machine and Dell Rusk failed The Sleepers would wake up and rick revenge on the world.
Since I broke free from his programming I've been trying to find and shutdown all the Sleepers.
I don't care if anybody believes me.
And I don't care about saving your skin.
I just want to make the Skull pay for what he did to me.
That's not supposed to happen.
Found zip down here, Stark.
- Any luck tracking the signal from the sky? - Can't pinpoint it.
Looks like the Skull set up scrambling baffles all over the city.
He really thought this good.
Tony, keep an eye up for trouble I think another Sleeper has just been activated.
Thanks for the heads up.
Cap, you might want to hussle down here.
And bring everyone.
It's headed for the Capitol.
It's the prototype of the Nova cannon Skull finished these things with American weapons.
No.
You are not alone Iron Man.
Together we will defeat it.
Even if we hold out the Nova blast - The Sleeper will get - We've got to try something.
There's no way to crack the external armor.
Not a time to save the Capitol.
If we got inside the main CPU we could do some damage.
Get me in close to the head.
I'll shut down.
Who is that? Tony, the Winter Soldier is helping us.
Helping us get blown up in the sky.
They are going to the head Avengers, give the Sleeper eveything you've got You should stay.
This is gonna be a one way trip.
We do this together And this time, no one gets left behind.
Just like old times.
Whatever.
Cap, if you don't drop that thing now It's going to destroy the Capitol building.
If I get past the defense perimeter I could fry the neural circuit with my arm.
Hope you remember that one.
You.
Yes, me.
You let your emotions blind you Captain.
I set up one trap I knew you couldn't resist.
The ghost of you dear Bucky.
In one fell swoop, I will destroy the US capital Repay this cretin for his treachery and rid myself of my greatest rival.
Destroy me won't stop the Avengers.
I have no intention of destroying you.
I will enslave you, as I did him.
Freeze you, and use you when duty calls.
That way you can both share a long cool future.
- Together.
- No, never again! Bucky! Get him, Cap.
This is for what you tried to do to the country.
This is for the damage the Sleepers did.
And this is for Bucky! The coward, he flees.
Cap, what's the status, pal? Do you have the Skull? What are you doing? Go after him.
Not without ypu, partner.
The world needs Bucky too.
Please, be Cap.
Please, be Cap.
Where are they? That was better than last time.
Thanks for the save.
Come back with me.
We get things right with the Avengers.
Can't do that, Steve Not yet.
I need to sort things out in my head.
Need to clean up the wreckage of my past.
Alone.
Bucky You know I can't just let you walk out of here.
When were you ever able to stop me from doing something I wanted to do? I hope you find what you're looking for, soldier.
Bucky out.
