[In a hospital, in a room guarded by two armed agents, we see Steve waking up in a bed to hear Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" playing with Sam sat next to his bed]

Steve Rogers: On your left. [Sam looks at Steve and smiles]

"I will get you back one day," Sam says as he points to Steve. He laughs.

[we then see Agent 13 practicing shooting at a shooting range wearing a CIA t-shirt; we see Hill at Stark Industries about to undergo a lie detector test; then Senator Stern getting arrested and then a badly burnt Rumlow being treated by doctors at the hospital; Natasha is then being sworn in at a committee hearing]

"I wish you died," Gabrielle says when Rumlow shows up on the screen.

Bailiff: Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Natasha Romanoff: I do.

Committee General: Why haven't we yet heard from Captain Rogers?

Natasha Romanoff: I don't know what there is left for him to say. I think the wreck in the middle of the Potomac made his point fairly eloquently.

Committee General: Well, he could explain how this country's expected to maintain its national security now that he and you have laid waste to our intelligence apparatus.

Natasha Romanoff: HYDRA was selling you lies, not intelligence.

Committee General: Many of which you seem to have had a personal hand in telling.

Scudder: Agent, you should know that there are some on this committee who feel, given your service record, both for this country and against it, that you belong in a penitentiary, not mouthing off on Capitol Hill.

Natasha Romanoff: You're not gonna put me in a prison. You're not gonna put any of us in a prison. You know why?

Scudder: Do enlighten us.

Natasha Romanoff: Because you need us. Yes, the world is a vulnerable place, and yes, we helped make it that way. But we're also the ones best qualified to defend it. So if you want to arrest me, arrest me. You'll know where to find me.

Gabrielle smirks and says, "Nice."

[she gets up and walks away, meanwhile Fury gets rid of any trace of his existence, including his passports and eyepatch, burning them and his hiding place]

Nick Fury: [wearing sunglasses and hoodie, Fury meets Steve and Sam at a cemetery at his own grave] So, you've experienced this sort of thing before?

Steve Rogers: You get used to it. [we see Fury's gravestone which bears bears the epitaph "The path of the righteous man. Ezekiel 25:17"]

Nick Fury: We've been data-mining HYDRA's files. Looks like a lot of rats didn't go down with the ship. I'm headed to Europe tonight, wanted to ask if you'd come.

Steve Rogers: There's something I gotta do first.

Nick Fury: How about you, Wilson? Could use a man with your abilities.

Sam Wilson: I'm more of a soldier than a spy.

Nick Fury: Alright then. [Sam and Steve shake Fury's hand] Anybody asks for me, tell them they can find me right here. [Fury looks to his gravestone and walks away, just then Natasha joins Steve and Sam]

Natasha Romanoff: You should be honored, that's about as close as he gets to saying thank you.

Steve Rogers: Not going with him?
