Col. CHESTER PHILLIPS: Johann Schmidt belongs in a bug house. He thinks he's a god. He's willing to blow half the world prove it, starting with the USA!

HOWARD STARK: Schmidt's working with powers beyond our capabilities. He gets across the Atlantic, he will wipe out the entire eastern seaboard in an hour.

GABE JONES: How much time we got?

Col. CHESTER PHILLIPS: According to my new best friend, twenty four hours. Hydra's last base is here. [holding a photo he points to the base] In the Alps. Five hundred feet below the surface.

JIM MORITA: So, what are we supposed to do. I mean, it's not like we can just knock on the front door.

STEVE ROGERS: Why not? That's exactly what we're gonna do.

[Steve goes alone on a motorcycle and attacks the base. He fights off a few HYDRA soldiers, but then some of them trap him in a ring of fire. When the fire is put out, more forces come and capture him. He is then brought to Schmidt's weapon lab]

JOHANN SCHMIDT: Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait, but I must say you do it better than anyone. But there are limits to what even you can do, Captain. Or did Erskine tell you otherwise?

STEVE ROGERS: He told me you were insane.

JOHANN SCHMIDT: Ah. He resented my genius and tried to deny me what was rightfully mine. But he gave you everything. So, what made you so special?

STEVE ROGERS: Nothin'. I'm just a kid from Brooklyn. [after Schmidt has beaten him] I can do this all day.

JOHANN SCHMIDT: Oh, of course you can. Of course. But unfortunately I am on a tight schedule. [Schmidt takes out his cube-energy pistol and points it at Steve]

STEVE ROGERS: So am I! [just then Steve's team crash through the windows of the weapons lab. As Schmidt escapes, Jacques throws the vibranium shield towards Cap]
JACQUES DERNIER: You might need this!

STEVE ROGERS: Thanks!

[Steve scours the halls of the HYDRA base and fights off some enemy soldiers. However, one of them ends up having a flamethrower and Steve has to hide behind a small wall. As the flames come closer, Steve suddenly hears gun shooting and the flamethrower stopping. He sees Peggy.]

STEVE ROGERS: You're late. [he and Peggy stare at each other lovingly]

PEGGY CARTER: Weren't you about to...

STEVE ROGERS: Right!

[As the doors of the main chamber close, he throws his shield and stops their closing. However, he runs behind and is too late in catching up to the Valkyrie. Suddenly, Colonel Phillips and Peggy appear in Schmidt's car]

Col. CHESTER PHILLIPS: Get in! [they finally approach the valkyrie before it lifts off]

STEVE ROGERS: Keep it steady.

PEGGY CARTER: Wait! [Just as Steve is about to leap from the roadster onto Schmidt's plane Peggy stops him and kisses him. Steve, surprised by the kiss, looks at Phillips]

Col. CHESTER PHILLIPS: I'm not kissin' you!

[Steve gets onto the Valkyrie and confronts Red Skull]

JOHANN SCHMIDT: You don't give up, do you?
STEVE ROGERS: Nope! [they fight]


JOHANN SCHMIDT: You could have the power of the gods, yet you wear a flag on your chest and think you fight a battle of nations. I have seen the future, Captain... there are no flags.

STEVE ROGERS: Not my future. [proceeds to take the cube out of its containment. It starts to glow]

JOHANN SCHMIDT: What have you done? [he watches the cube glow] No!

[The cube seems to burn and open some kind of hole. Schmidt is absorbed into some kind of blue burning and the hole closes. Steve watches as the cube burns the floor of the Valkyrie and drops into the ocean]

STEVE ROGERS: Come in this is, Captain Rogers. Do you read me?

Col. CHESTER PHILLIPS: Captain Rogers, what is your-

PEGGY CARTER: [takes the mic] Steve, is that you? Are you alright?

STEVE ROGERS: Peggy! Schmidt's dead.

PEGGY CARTER: What about the plane?

STEVE ROGERS: That's a little bit tougher to explain.

PEGGY CARTER: Give me your coordinates, I'll find you a safe landing site.

STEVE ROGERS: There's not going to be a safe landing. But I can try and force it down.
PEGGY CARTER: I'll get Howard on the line, he'll know what to do.

STEVE ROGERS: There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast and it's heading for New York. I gotta put her in the water.

PEGGY CARTER: Please, don't do this. We have time. We can work it out.

STEVE ROGERS: Right now I'm in the middle of nowhere. If I wait any longer a lot of people are gonna die. Peggy, this is my choice. [as he's forcing the plane down towards the water] Peggy?

PEGGY CARTER: I'm here.

STEVE ROGERS: I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance.

PEGGY CARTER: [with tears in her eyes] Alright. A week, next Saturday, at the Stork Club.

STEVE ROGERS: You got it.

PEGGY CARTER: Eight o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late! Understood?

STEVE ROGERS: You know, I still don't know how to dance.

PEGGY CARTER: I'll show you how. Just be there.

STEVE ROGERS: You'll have the band play something slow. I'd hate to step on your- [the line goes static and Peggy begins to cry]

PEGGY CARTER: Steve? Steve? Steve?

[In a bar, the Howling Commandos are mourning the death of their captain and leader]

DUM DUM DUGAN: To the Captain. [they all take a shot in honor of Steve]

[Howard Stark and his assistant use their resources to try and find Steve. Stark is frantic to find his friend]

STARK'S ASSISTANT: Sir.

HOWARD STARK: Take us to the next grid point.

STARK'S ASSISTANT: But there's no trace of wreckage... and the energy signal trace stops here.

HOWARD STARK: Just keep looking.
