[the two pull up to outside an abandoned military base where the signal led them to]

"Honestly? The Chevy Silverado is not a bad lookin' truck," Gabrielle says as she stares at the truck that on-screen Nat and Steve 'borrowed.'

Steve Rogers: This is it.

Natasha Romanoff: The file came from these coordinates.

Steve Rogers: So did I. [later that night as they walk around the base trying to pinpoint where the signal came from] This camp is where I was trained.

Natasha Romanoff: Changed much?

Steve Rogers: A little. [Steve has brief visions of his former, smaller self running past him as he's getting trained with other soldiers]

Tony looked like he wanted to say something, but his and Steve's relationship was still rocky after their giant falling out, so he didn't want to risk it.

Sergeant Duffy: Pick up the pace, ladies! Let's go! Let's go! Double time! Come on Rogers, move it! [his former self stops and stares at Steve as he is now] Come on! Fall in! Rogers! I said fall in! [present Steve watches nostalgically as the former Steve runs off]

Natasha Romanoff: This is a dead end. Zero heat signature, zero waves, not even radio. Whoever wrote the file must have used a router to throw people off. [Steve notices a building ahead of them] What is it? [as they walk over to the building]

Steve Rogers: Army regulations forbid storing ammunition within five hundred yards of the barracks. This building is in the wrong place. [Steve opens the lock with his shield and they enter inside, when they turn on the lights they notice it's a SHIELD office]

Natasha Romanoff: This is SHIELD.

Steve Rogers: Maybe where it started. [they enter a room where they find old framed portraits of Howard Stark, Peggy, and Col. Chester Phillips]

Natasha Romanoff: There's Stark's father.

Steve Rogers: Howard.

Natasha Romanoff: Who's the girl? [Steve doesn't reply and turns away to walk further down the room and stops by a massive book shelf]

Steve Rogers: If you're already working in a secret office... [he pushes the books shelf and slides open to reveal an elevator behind it] Why do you need to hide the elevator? [they go down the elevator which takes them to a room with old looking computers]

Natasha Romanoff: This can't be the data-point, this technology is ancient. [suddenly Natasha notices a small flash drive port, she places the flash drive in it which then activates the ancient computer in the room]

Computer: Initiate system? [Natasha types using the keyboard]

Natasha Romanoff: Y-E-S, spells yes. [Natasha smiles as the old computer starts to cranks up] "Shall we play a game?" [to Steve] It's from a movie that...

"Good movie," Hermione comments and a few people nod.

Steve Rogers: Yeah, I saw it. [suddenly they hear an accented voice speaking]

Dr. Arnim Zola: Rogers, Steven. Born, 1918. Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna. Born, 1984. [they see an old camera moving above them as it analyzes them]

"Oh shit that asshole?" Bucky exclaimed.

Natasha Romanoff: It's some kind of a recording.

Dr. Arnim Zola: I am not a recording, Fräulein. I may not be the man I was when the Captain took me prisoner in 1945, but I am. [the computer screen shows an old photo of Dr. Arnim Zola]
