[inside a bank vault, the HYDRA agents fix Bucky's metal arm and as they do so he has a brief flashback to his old life after he was recovered by Zola and the HYDRA agents. The Winter Witch is standing off to the side, her eyes cold and calculating as she gazes at Bucky.]
Dr. Arnim Zola: Sergeant Barnes... [he has to flashback to falling off the train at the edge of the mountain with Steve trying to save him]
"No," Bucky whispers as he shuts his eyes tightly. Gabrielle grabs his hand in comfort.
Steve Rogers: Bucky, no! [he then has a flashback to after he's picked up by Hydra agents]
Dr. Arnim Zola: The procedure has already started. [we see the Zola and the Hydra agent amputating his left arm and replacing it with the metal arm] You are to be the new fist of HYDRA. [to his men] Put him on ice. [we see Bucky being frozen after which he comes back to the present and knocks over the HYDRA agent fixing his arm, Rollins points his gun at him to stop him from attacking any further. The Winter Witch watches with interest]
[as Pierce enters the bank vault Bucky is being held in]
Scientist #1: Sir, he's... he's unstable. Erratic. [Pierce enters with Rumlow and some other HYDRA agents and goes over to Bucky]
Alexander Pierce: Mission report. [Bucky; looking blank, doesn't respond] Mission report, now. [Pierce moves closer to Bucky and suddenly strikes him hard in the face. The Winter Witch's eyes flash with rage but she quickly gets control of her emotions. When he doesn't respond, he turns to the Winter Witch] Mission report.
Winter Witch: Jasper Sitwell was killed in the crossfire. The two targets got away.
Alexander Pierce: You let targets get away?! [he slaps her across the face]
Bucky Barnes: The man on the bridge... [he has a flashback to Steve calling him by his name] Who was he?
Alexander Pierce: You met him earlier this week on another assignment.
Bucky Barnes: I knew him. [Pierce sits in front of Bucky]
Alexander Pierce: The Winter Soldier and the Winter Witch, two of the world's deadliest assassins. Your work has been a gift to mankind. You shaped the century, and I need you to do it one more time. Society is at a tipping point between order and chaos. Tomorrow morning we're gonna give it a push. But, if you don't do your part, I can't do mine, and HYDRA can't give the world the freedom it deserves.
Bucky Barnes: But I knew him. [Pierce turns to the scientists]
Alexander Pierce: Prep him.
Scientist #1: He's been out of cryo-freeze too long.
Alexander Pierce: Then wipe him and start over. [he pauses. He points to the Winter Witch] Her, too. [the scientists strap Bucky in his chair and then place a teeth shield in his mouth as they begin the process of wiping his brain with Bucky screaming in pain]
Gabrielle and Bucky both had each other's hands in a death grip at the sound of on-screen Bucky's screams.
"What were they doing to you?" Remus asks quietly.
Gabrielle takes a long, deep, shaky breath. She looks down at her hands, her flesh left hand shaking. "They were... erasing his memories."
The magicals stared in shock at the screen. Muggles can do that? was going through all their heads.
[back at the secret facility]
Nick Fury: [looking at a photo of Pierce] This man declined the Nobel Peace Prize. He said, "Peace wasn't an achievement, it was a responsibility." See, it's stuff like this that gives me trust issues.
