[Steve visits Peggy, who is now lying sick in bed]

Steve Rogers: You should be proud of yourself, Peggy.

[Steve looks at Peggy's family photos by her bedside table showing her with her children]

Peggy Carter: Mm. I have lived a life. My only regret is that you didn't get to live yours.

[Steve looks sad]

Peggy Carter: What is it?

Steve Rogers: For as long as I can remember I just wanted to do what was right. I guess I'm not quite sure what that is anymore. And I thought I could throw myself back in and follow orders, serve. It's just not the same.

"Seventy years difference, pal." Bucky shakes his head.

[Peggy chuckles]

Peggy Carter: You're always so dramatic. Look, you saved the world. We rather... mucked it up.

Steve Rogers: You didn't. Knowing that you helped found SHIELD is half the reason I stayed.

[Peggy takes Steve's hand]

Peggy Carter: Hey. The world has changed and none of us can go back. All we can do is our best, and sometimes the best that we can do is to start over.

[Peggy starts to cough, Steve turns to get her some water and goes to hand it to her]

Steve Rogers: Peggy.

[suddenly Peggy looks at Steve like she's seeing him for the first time since he was frozen]

Peggy Carter: Steve?

Many students look down, mainly muggleborns, remembering elderly relatives that also had Alzheimer's.

Steve Rogers: Yeah.

Peggy Carter: You're alive! You... you came, you came back.

Steve Rogers: Yeah, Peggy.

[Peggy begins to cry]

Peggy Carter: It's been so long. So long.

Steve Rogers: Well, I couldn't leave my best girl. Not when she owes me a dance.

[Fury is alone in his office; to his voice-controlled computer]

Nick Fury: Secure office.

[all the windows are blackened, Fury takes out the flash drive Natasha had downloaded all the files from the Lemurian Star and places it in his computer]

Nick Fury: Open Lemurian Star's satellite launch file.

SHIELD Computer: Access denied.

Nick Fury: Run decryption.

SHIELD Computer: Decryption failed.

Nick Fury: Director override, Fury, Nicholas J.

SHIELD Computer: Override denied. All files sealed.

Nick Fury: On whose authority?

SHIELD Computer: Fury, Nicholas J.

"That makes no sense."

[Fury looks confused and worried]

[Fury enters elevator]

Nick Fury: World Security Council.

SHIELD Computer: Confirmed.
