"Madripoor could give New York a run for its money. They know how to party." Sam smiles.
"With that bounty on your head, the longer you're in Madripoor, the less likely you're ever leaving." She stops and gives us earpieces. "All right. He's in there. Container four-two-six-one. I'll keep an eye out while you guys talk to Nagel. But hurry. We're on borrowed time."
We walk past some containers and stop at the right one. I walk behind Zemo as Sam goes in first to see it was empty, "Hey, Sharon. You sure this is the right one? It's completely empty."
"Positive. It has to be."
Zemo walks to the back and rubs his hand across the wall, then pushing open a hidden door. I walk past the men and walk down a set of stairs as I hear music. I then quietly step up behind a man and turn off the music. "Dr. Nagel?" I ask.
He turns around, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"We know you created the super-soldier serum." Sam says.
"Get out of my lab."
I pull out my gun, "Hey! You know who he is, right? This is Baron Zemo. I know you've heard of him, too, right? You seem like a pretty smart guy. So you better become conversational real quick." I point my gun in his face.
"How about a counter proposal? Make me a better offer and I'll talk."
"Guys, we have company. Every bounty hunter in the city is here. We gotta go!" Sharon yells.
"How about I don't kill you if you talk. So sit the fuck down." I force him down.
"Remind me never to make her mad." Sam whispers to Bucky.
"Okay okay....I was brought into Hydra's Winter Soldier program to pick up their work after the five failed test subjects in Siberia. When Hydra fell, I was recruited by the CIA. They had blood samples from an American test subject with semi-stable traces of serum in his system. After much labor, I was able to isolate the necessary compounds in his blood. I was a god. I did what no other scientist since Erskine was able to do. But mine was going to be different. No clunky machines or jacked up bodies. Mine was going to be subtle, optimized, perfect."
"How have we never heard about this?" Sam asks.
"Because...Before I was able to complete my work, I turned to dust. Then when I returned, it was five years later, program had been abandoned, so I came here. The Power Broker was more than happy to fund the recreation of my work."
"How many vials did you make?" I ask.
"Twenty. Karli Morgenthau stole those, so... I can only imagine what the Power Broker has planned for that poor girl."
"Where's Karli now?" Sam asks.
"I don't know where she is. But a couple of days ago, she called and asked if I could help someone named Donya Madani. Poor woman has tuberculosis. Typical of overpopulation in displacement camps like that."
"Well, what happened to her?" Sam sighs.
"Not my pig. Not my farm."
"Is there any serum in this lab?" I ask. He doesn't answer. I press my gun against the side of his head.
"No!"
"Now what?" I put my gun down.
Sharon runs in, "Guys, we're seriously outta time here."
Suddenly Zemo shoots Nagel. "No! What did you do?" Sam asks in shock. Suddenly there's an explosion that throws us all back. "Anybody see Zemo?" Sam yells.
"Let's go!" Bucky pulls me up. We run outside just as the whole container explodes. "All right! Wait for my signal!" We all duck and start to run as people start shooting. "Damn it!" Bucky runs after us.
"And you like living here?" Sam yells to Sharon.
"It's not terrible."
"Ah! I thought we were gonna go left?" Bucky yells.
"You went the wrong way!"
"I was clearing the way!" Bucky points.
"I came out first. You are supposed to follow me!"
"And where are we now?" Bucky screams.
"Guys, not the time!" I yell as I continue to shoot.
"I'm out!" Sharon yells.
"This is a barricade!"
"It's in every action movie!" Sam screams. I put my gun back and pull out my knives, hurling three behind Sam and hitting two people. We duck as there's another explosion, I look up to see a man in a mask shooting....Zemo.
"Go." Bucky points.
"Come on. Let's go." Sharon runs.
I hold up my wrist and electrocute an incoming man. "Buck!" Sam yells as someone shoots at us. He opens a container and pulls me in as Bucky grabs a pole and throws it at the person.
We exit through the back of the container as Zemo pulls up in a car. "Supercharged."
"You're going back to jail." I point.
"Do you want to find Karli or not?"
"He's right. We need him. And there's three of us, and at least 20 of them. Come on." Bucky sits in the front seat.
"Fine. But if you try that shit again..." Sam points as he opens the door for me.
"I wouldn't dream of it."
"Well, that was one hell of a reunion." Sharon smiles.
"Come back to the States with us."
"I told you I can't. Just get me that pardon you promised me."
"Thanks for everything." Sam nods and sits beside me. "You're not gonna move your seat up, are you?" He asks Bucky.
"No."
We then get back onto the plane, Bucky was sitting across from Zemo and Sam was standing up on the phone. When he comes back and sits across from me, I noticed he looked different. "You okay?" I ask.
"Yeah. Just thinking about all the shit Sharon had to go through. And Nagel referring to the American test subject like Isaiah wasn't even a real person. Just makes me wonder how many people have to get steamrolled to make way for this hunk of metal."
"Well, it depends on who you ask. That hunk of metal saved a lot of lives." I nod.
"Yeah, I get that. All right. Maybe I made a mistake."
"You did." Bucky says.
"Yeah. Maybe I shouldn't have put it in a museum. Maybe I should have destroyed it."
"Look, that shield represents a lotta things to a lotta people, including me. The world is upside down, and we need a new Cap, and it ain't gonna be Walker. So before you go and destroy it, I'm gonna take it from him myself." Bucky says as Sam's phone rings again.
"Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thanks. Good work. They found Madani... Dead. She died in Riga, a city near the Baltic Sea." Sam's says.
"I have a place we can go. I, for one, am looking forward to coming face to face with Karli. Oeznik, we're changing the course."
After another couple hours we arrived in a small city, "I heard what became of Sokovia. Cannibalized by its neighbors before the land was cleared of rubble, erased from the map. I don't suppose any of you bothered visiting the memorial?" He looks at us, "Of course not. Why would you? We are here." He points to an apartment.
"I'm gonna go on a walk." Bucky backs away.
I frown. "You good?"
"Yeah. I'll see you guys in a bit." He nods.
