Peter mentions on a school trip he was bitten by a radioactive spider and got amazing abilities from it. Shooting webs, sticking to walls, sensing danger before it even happens. Captain America comments that he thought webs came out of Spider's butts, but Peter corrects him saying it comes from their abdomen. He continues claiming that he was a small nerd his whole life, but that spider made him stronger than the whole football team combined. Steve asks him why he doesn't want to play then, and Peter says he did! He wanted to athlete like he never could. But that when you don't use your powers for the right thing, and bad stuff happens, it happens because of you. With great power comes great responsibility. Steve tells him he lives his life by that everyday. Peter says that he knows, he used to collect those old comics and read them all the time when he was little.

Soon May Parker comes in and tells Peter that she’s home. Parker informs Captain America that's his Mom! Steve asks if she knows and he claims nobody does but him, and if she finds out she’ll freak. He needs to hide in the closet. Peter lets him in quickly while moving a box out of the way and a few random gizmos drop out. Parker tells Steve that those are some suit upgrades. The old costume he saw is kind of a work progress. Cap picks one of them up and is impressed, saying he gives Stark a run for his money. He then shuts the closet doors and May walks in. Telling Peter about her day and he acts jittery quickly trying to shut down the conversation and get her to go away. May asks him if he's okay...

On the sidewalk, he calls Black Widow. Who says how happy she is Steve called, that S.H.I.E.L.D. is more crazy than ever about pushing the Accords, everyone is really mad at him for running after Bucky like that. Cap says he doesn't want to put the Avengers through this. He’ll come back and they’ll sort this out. At the lobby of Avengers Tower Steve walks in and is confronted by Everett Ross, Steve asks if he’s related to Thaddeus Ross, he tells him they're first cousins. He then says how Steve should be arrested for obstruction of justice, but S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stark both seem to have a lot of faith in him. Sharon Carter explains how they’re willing to come to a compromise on the Accords, they’re testing something new with the Winter Soldier at Camp Hammond in Stamford, Connecticut. If it works it'd make a solid case against what those documents are suggesting. Steve says he can't wait. At the Avengers Facility, Vision is cooking and Wanda recognizes the scent. Vision claims he spoke to Clint about feeling melancholy about everything that's been happening and wanted to make her favorite meal to help "lift her spirits".
  +
  +
Scarlet Witch claims she knows a good spice for this and can get him from the grocery store, but Vision blocks her way bluntly saying he cannot let her do that. Wanda asks if he's not letting her leave and he tells her it would be unwise to do so. She backs down and begins walking back to her room until Vision says that no one dislikes her, they can’t help but be afraid of what they don’t understand. Wanda claims that not a day goes by she wishes her and Pietro never got taken by Hydra, he gives her the analogy how he doesn’t know what the Infinity Stone in his head is, but that despite its dark past accepts it as a part of him. Those who designed the Insight Accords might not trust what she is, but that doesn't mean Wanda must feel that way about herself. There are many who see what she as something... beautiful. The Scarlet Witch smiles and thanks him for making this for her, how despite everything that’s happened, he's always made her feel at home in this cold place. Vision says he'll look in the pantry to see if they have any wine to compliment her meal. He walks inside and Pietro quickly runs in there telling Vision to stop it.

  +
Quicksilver insisting that he knows Vision developing feelings for his sister. The synthezoid claims he has a close bond with her, yes, but if he's worried those feelings could turn romanic to remember that he has no actual genitalia. Pietro warns him not to play dumb, that he knows he's more than just a robot. But that they're on opposite sides here, and to not even think about taking his sister from him. He then leaves as Vision is disturbed by what just occurred. It then shows at a psychiatrist’s office Zemo comes in pretending to be a patient talking about the feelings of loss, sorrow and guilt he's been dealing with as of late. The therapist tells him they're out of time and he has to go somewhere important. Before leaving though, Helmut grabs a wire and strangles the Doctor, stealing his notes and credentials. In Stamford, the Winter Soldier is being detained at Camp Hammond while Captain America is sitting in the control room looking at the cameras. Tony walks in behind him and says that it’s good to see him back, he suggested an alteration to the Accord documents. Rehabilitation efforts before incarceration, maximum imprisonment instead of termination. Steve says that it sounds like a start.
  +
  +
Tony comments that he hoped it would be and asks why Steve couldn’t just advocate for this himself, why he would risk his career and reputation as an Avenger. The Captain insists the original documents was suggesting something totally immoral. If they don't hold truth and justice above all else they're no better than Hydra. Tony asks what this is really about, why is this the hill he wants to die on. Cap stays quiet, and Tony asks him if it’s Bucky. He’s doing this to save his friend. Steve claims it’s not like that and Tony yells to give him a break. When push comes to shove that’s where his loyalties lie. Steve responds claiming that’s part of it, yes. He’s was his best friend, and a good man. His own father Howard vouched for him too. Tony then sarcastically comments how he had no idea his father knew Captain America. Steve says that what’s happening to the Twins and other Agents because of their pasts is wrong too, he shouldn’t pretend like his side is perfect. Tony concludes saying it’s a good thing they’ve found this compromise, nothing that happened can’t be undone. King T’Challa enters Camp Hammond and Tony Stark shakes hands with him. Stark tells him he speaks for the entire government when he says he's grateful to Wakanda for not taking Bucky to one of their prisons. The King says he's not hurt, it's a small price to pay if it gives them more effort to focus on the true mind orchestrating this.
  +
  +
Ironically, Zemo is then escorted into the Camp by Director Maria Hill believing him to be the Psychiatrist hired to examine the Winter Soldier. In Bucky’s room, Steve is talking to him about their past life together. Bucky claims he can't remember any of it and doesn’t even know what's real anymore. He thought he was only born to be an assassin, but now Captain America is telling him he was this beloved war hero.
  +
Everett Ross eventually comes in and tells Steve that he needs to leave, they’re going to do the examination on Bucky now. Steve wishes him good luck and goes to the waiting room with Sam Wilson. Everett then tells the "Psychologist" to take all the time he needs. Zemo begins going over basic questions and then presses a button, which signals a bunch of Hydra soldiers outside to sabotage the wiring all over Camp Hammond. It causes the cameras to go down and the room doors to lock. Steve and Sam realize something’s wrong and begin trying to break out, but Zemo is able to unlock the Winter Soldier's restraints and orders him to break out.

Revision as of 08:35, 10 January 2019

Marvel's Captain America: Civil War is a 2016 live-action superhero film produced by 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios based on the iconic story arc by the same name. It is the overall eighteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was released worldwide May 6th 2016.

Production

During The Avengers Joss Whedon had borrowed a few elements from the comic arc of Civil War in regards to Captain America and Iron Man's relationship. Though he didn't adapt their violent rivalry, he did adapt their inherent ideological differences and disagreements as a major plot in the second act. This was done under the confident assumption by Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige that the Marvel Cinematic Universe would never truly adapt the Civil War arc in a full capacity.

In 2014 after the massive critical success of Joe and Anthony Russo's Captain America: The Winter Solider the Russos were given free reign to do essentially anything they wanted for their next movie, the end of the Captain America trilogy. Having a deep respect for the universe and its character, Joe and Anthony Russo brought up the idea of having the third movie be an based on Civil War seeing that as one of the most memorable and important moments of Captain America's career as an Avenger. The Russos having earned the trust of Marvel Studios were open minded to the idea despite the large contractual and budgetary obligations needed to create such a film. Marvel Studios wanting to produce another popular film along the lines of The Winter Soldier heavily encouraged contract negotiations with Robert Downey Jr. and a majority of the Avengers and Iron Man supporting casts in addition to working their schedule to accommodate one of their largest non-Avengers MCU films to date.

Captain America: Civil War was eventually announced at comic con summer 2015 as part of the Phase 3 line up slated for a May 2016 release date. The Russos assuring the fanbase that even though they would be adapting heavily from the comic the movie will still act as a Captain America movie above all else and continued the plot threads left over from the Winter Soldier, including the whereabouts of Bucky Barnes and the remnants of Hydra. It was also confirmed that Daniel Brühl was cast would join the film as the main villain, Baron Helmut Zemo, who teased in interviews that he would be a recurring menace in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his Civil War appearance.

Plot

The film starts in SIBERIA 1991, Heinrich Zemo and his son, Helmut, arrive at a secret Hydra Workshop. Heinrich tells Helmut to pay close attention as one day it will be him giving the orders. Zemo walks inside and is greeted by the guards until opening a cryo-freezer containing the Winter Soldier inside of it. They thaw him out and as he awakens the Soldier asks what must be done. Heinrich tells him S.H.I.E.L.D. has been rapidly progressing its influence around the world, getting too big to control. Hydra needs him to sway the political climate in their favor again, take them out. It then cuts to FRANCE where The Winter Soldier shoots a car off the road and slowly walks toward it, he then stops in his tracks and proceeds to twitch and slowly put his gun away. Bucky then shuts his eyes and tries to fight his brainwashing until his face reverts to a somber tone and he quickly takes his weapon out again completing his objective.

In LONDON present day, Steve Rogers is shown crying being one of the bearers for Peggy Carter during her funeral. Her niece, Sharon Carter, comes up to give the eulogy going over her aunt's life as a founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a hero in both England and America. Sharon goes on to say that Peggy grew up in a time women weren't appreciated to the extent their male counterparts were. That wasn't enough to stop Peggy, she was always determined to do what was right and never gave up. In the wake, Phil Coulson asks Steve how he's holding up and says how he thought everyone he knew was gone when he got out of the ice... she lived a long life and he got to say goodbye, that's all he could've ever asked for. Coulson pats him on the back and Steve walks over to Black Widow and Falcon. He hugs Natasha and she says that she's proud of him for staying so strong. Steve responds asking if there was any news these last few hours and Sam Wilson tells them there's never a dull moment, a distress signal in Seoul reporting a Hydra squad lead by Crossbones. Natasha tells Steve if he wants to sit this one out she and Sam could handle it on their own, but he says he wants to go. Helping other people not go through this with their loved ones is exactly where he needs to be.

In SEOUL, Falcon is undercover along with Captain America and Black Widow using his personal drone called Redwing to spy on the Hydra Agents. When he sees them prepared to perform their heist on the U-GIN Genetic Research Facility, Captain America leads them all into battle. The three of them all work together to fight off the Agents and stop the heist, until Brock Rumlow in his Crossbones equipment comes out and one shots Black Widow and Falcon. He goes after Captain America who's able to fight him. Rumlow taunts Steve by claiming he got promoted and choose his own name and costume as a head of Hydra! Captain America overpowers Crossbones and tells him it's over, he's the last last head. They lost. Crossbones responds by saying that Hydra is getting bigger everyday, it doesn't matter if he won this time, someone else will always be willing to take up the cause. He'll make sure of it. It then shows the Winter Soldier jump from a helicopter and into the U-GIN lab, stealing multiple catheter bags full of different serums proceeding to then shoot Captain America. Crossbones then runs inside revealing himself to be wearing a bomb vest and the Winter Soldier is about to press the detonator. Black Widow, Falcon, and Captain America regroup but don't engage the Winter Soldier as to not provoke him into pressing the detonator. Steve tells Bucky that he spared him back in D.C. and he knows there's still good in him, to please not do this. The Winter Soldier begins twitching once again as he did in 1991 but once again regains focus and casually presses the detonator. Crossbones blows up up the entire lab and murdering hundreds of innocent civilians before escaping. Steve, Natasha and Sam are all horrified at the disaster and Cap tells Falcon to get help now.

It then shows Tony Stark as a teenager where his parents, Howard and Maria Stark, are leaving on a vacation to Europe. Tony proceeds to make a snide remark about how they wouldn't want to stay home on Christmas and Maria apologizes while Howard quips back he should be loving this since now he can party and sleep around without curfew. They begin to leave and Tony instantly changes his behavior telling Howard and Maria how much he loves them and knows they only want what's best. He'll try harder while they're away. Maria hugs her son and Howard responds telling him he's glad to hear to it and to keep them posted. Suddenly, the entire room begins disappearing revealing it to be a simulation invented by the modern day Tony Stark who's revealed to be giving a conference at M.I.T. in BOSTON on his Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing technology. That in reality he insulted both his parents with words he doesn't want to repeat just before they died. But B.A.R.F. allowed him to hijack his brain and change how he remembers their last conversation going. That right now it's still in the testing phases but that he hopes it can someday land in the market and help millions in processing grief. That he knows he's done some terrible things with his technology over the years, Ultron is on his conscious everyday. That he wants to be remembered when he dies as someone who helped the world, not hurt it.

Everyone applauds as Tony exits the stage. Pepper begins going over their dinner and interview plans tonight until Bethany Cabe gets his attention, claiming Steve Rogers is calling for him he asks what he wants and Cabe explains there's been an accident. All over the news there are reports of what happened in South Korea where people are afraid of Hydra and angry and The Avengers for not doing more to stop it. In NEW YORK at the Avengers Facility Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Vision are being trained by Hawkeye. Clint praises Vision but scolds Wanda and Pietro for not putting their all into it. The twins are in there room at the facility where Quicksilver rants to his sister about how unfair Hawkeye is being. That they survived on the streets of Transia which taught them everything they need to know, they're being treated like children. Wanda responds that she agrees, but that being with the Avengers is good for them, it’s better than their old lives as globe trotting vigilantes. Vision then phases into the twins room and Pietro sternly tells him they talked about this, he can't just walk through walls like that. Wanda stands up for him though claiming the door was open and it's not a big deal. Vision tells them he's aware it's not proper social etiquette but that they’re all instructed to come to the boardroom to discuss something important with S.H.I.E.L.D. involving a recent mission gone weary.

Captain America is at the facility and Sam says he shouldn't beat himself up over what happened, it was no one's fault. Steve tells him he knows, it's just that he thought with what happened during the uprising... one of these days he'd get some good news. Bucky surrendering from Hydra and getting rehabilitated. Sam says he wished he could've met him. Steve smiles and then continues on claiming to Wilson that he and Bucky knew each other since they were kids. He wasn't just a friend, he was his brother. They both enter the boardroom with the other Avengers and Tony Stark tells Steve he knows exactly what he's going through and he's got his back. To just play along and all of this will blow over. Scarlet Witch along with her brother sit down. Wanda asks Black Widow what's going on and she says she doesn't know either. Director Maria Hill soon comes in and thanks everyone for coming, that as they are well aware morale for the team has been at an all time low after everything that happened with Ultron. But that this recent incident in Seoul is the pebble that broke the camel’s back, Hydra and the Winter Soldier are one of the greatest threats to humanity S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever faced, but people don’t trust the Avengers to deal with it.

Falcon asks what she means and Director Hill puts down a stack of documents called the Insight Accords. They allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to target anyone associated with Hydra instantly. No trial, no warnings, no rights. Over a 107 countries have signed it and if the Avengers do too, this can be their one chance at finally cutting off all of Hydra’s heads for good. Scarlet Witch asks what happens to people like her and Pietro. Hill says due to their indirect involvement with Hydra intensive background checks and questioning will need to be done once the Accords are put into action. Everyone is silent until Tony says he fully supports this, that between stealing the Heart of Knowledge to this Hydra is getting too big to control, and he knows from experience the best hands to deal with it are not always their own. Captain America proudly states that he couldn’t disagree more. That he wants to stop Hydra just as much as they all do, but that this doesn’t sound like the steps towards freedom, it sounds more like a worldwide Martial Law against good men who just happen to be tricked or forced into fighting for the wrong side.

Tony asks if Steve is seriously going to stand up for the same people who blow up the entire U-GIN building in Seoul. The Captain tells him he’s not standing up for them, just acknowledging diplomacy matters. Tony responds saying that sounds dangerously arrogant thinking that they can just talk all of Hydra out of being villains, asking him how well that worked with Crossbones. Black Widow brings up if these Accords were implemented thirty years ago she might’ve been killed by them for being an assassin for the Red Room. Even when she was at S.H.I.E.L.D. the remnants of McCarthyism were still apparent. These accords are walking a really dangerous line. Hawkeye tells her this is different than the Cold War, Hydra isn't some competitor to S.H.I.E.L.D. they're a menace to every country on Earth. We've tried every which way to stop them but they just keep coming back stronger. Tony thanks Clint for that saying it seems like he's the only one who remembers what happened last year. Quicksilver then calls him out saying just because he made a mistake with Ultron they all have to suffer for it with this political fascism. Bethany quickly comes in to defend Tony from Pietro's accusation and everyone starts arguing until Vision requests that everyone calms down, this is merely a discussion. Captain America agrees and asks the Director how long they have to think it over. She says a week, they’ll be a United Nations meeting then and she hopes The Avengers will be on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s side. As the Director leaves Quicksilver sarcastically tells her thanks while flipping Maria his middle finger.

Tony Stark leads her out while insisting he’ll get them to come around, that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes still have rose tinted glasses on but he'll turn them around. Agent Hill requests that he keeps the twins in close proximity until they get a say on if the Accords pass or not. Going on how the Avengers aren’t actually the only ones who didn’t like it. In BERLIN at the Zemo Estate, Helmut Zemo who is now an adult and the Baron of Hydra is watching a WHiH News report of King T'Challa of Wakanda rejecting the Accords vehemently insisting they would violate his country's strict isolationist policies. Two Hydra guards come in and inform Zemo that the serums were successfully acquired from U-GIN and the Baron adds on but at a cost. He then calls The Winter Soldier on his tablet and he picks up while undercover in BUSAN. He asks what he needs and Baron Zemo says the United Nations and S.H.I.E.L.D. plan on taking extreme action to root out what remains of Hydra, he must deal with this before any of their plans can proceed. The Winter Soldier says it will be done and hangs up. Zemo then says how he envies Crossbones and Winter Soldier being able to fight, saying how boring it is being a Baron, he didn’t ask for this job and wishes he could still serve in the field. One of his servants simply asks what’s stopping him.

At the Avengers Facility, Bethany and Sam start arguing the merits of the Accords. Vision makes the observation that in the time since the Battle of New York the amount of world ending threats has gone up exponentially, and perhaps the way the world has changed means that drastic action such as the Insight Accords are more necessary than ever. Captain America asks if he thinks they’re not doing enough. He rephrases stating that subtly may no longer a viable option in this political climate. This continues on until Tony Stark gets up and says that he’s spent years carelessly ignoring the world around him, and then six years ago everything caught up to him. He stopped making weapons because of it, this is the same thing. The world is taken hostage by Hydra just like he was with the Ten Rings. Black Widow says how it almost looks like he’s going right back into weapon’s development all over again. Those too were sold only with the means to stop terrorism. Tony says the reason they went into the wrong hands was because of criminals like Hydra using them improperly. He also points out the hypocrisy of Natasha who’s worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. as long as he can remember is now going against them. She just claims that she’s feeling the terrain.

Scarlet Witch in another room is using her telekinesis to lift objects until she hears something and moves a knife to the door, only for the camera to reveal it's Hawkeye who says he just wants to talk. Wanda asks him what he wants and he tells her that he knows she and Pietro aren't too crazy about the Accords. Wanda tells him it's not just that, they've dealt with politics their whole lives in Transia and once they joined the Avengers, they thought that life was behind them. Clint insists that he understands but to just know this only has to be as bad as they make it. Maybe the Accords will be implemented maybe they won't, her brother is too hotheaded to understand, but he wants her to know that half the battle is how you take your aim. Wanda thanks Clint and says she'll keep it in mind. Hawkeye then tells her she reminds him of his daughter and to consider that her daily lesson on how to be an Avenger. Steve is reading the fine print of the Insight Accords until Natasha comes in and kisses him, saying it's been a long day.

Cap responds it's feeling a bit better with her around. Black Widow smiles and says Tony is stubborn as a mule and Hill isn't going to back down either. Their only hope is the United Nations. Steve says he wishes he could just agree to this, but something doesn't feel right. These Accords, even after everything Hydra's done he can't give up on them. When he sees a situation pointed south he can't ignore it. Black Widow responds that's because he's a good person who always does the right thing. They then kiss more and Natasha eventually straddles him, telling Steve she wants to do something for him. Something he should've done a long time ago. They get onto a bed and the Captain says he doesn't know what he's doing but Natasha insists she'll show him. In MANHATTAN at the United Nations summit, Rhodey is talking to Pepper Potts both of them exchanging awkward stories of friends they had in the government and Stark Industries who turned out to be Hydra.

Captain America then shows up and sits next to Sharon Carter. He asks her for the rundown and Sharon explains they're going to go back and fourth for a little bit, the World Nations are going to see it as too controversial to implement. Everyone is walking on eggshells because of what's happened these last few years, they're going to risk pissing more people off. Steve says he hopes she's right and the moderator announces the debate is to begin. It starts with Chicago politician Mariah Dillard who announces her full support for the Accords citing that her home city has the largest amount of enhanced people in the entire country, if Hydra wanted they could turn the city on its head. King T'Challa goes to the podium after and brings up how S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by none other than Hydra two years ago and asks what laws like this would do in the hands of the very criminals it was supposed to stop. He will not let Wakanda be open to such risk. Outside, the Winter Soldier begins getting ready for his attack and opens fire on the meeting. Two bullets hitting into T’Challa as the people start to panic. In the chaos, Captain America chases after the Winter Soldier. Director Hill and Sharon Carter go to help T’Challa who is surprisingly unharmed from the bullets, claiming there are many reasons why he doesn’t want S.H.I.E.L.D. in Wakanda, irregardless of how big a threat Hydra may be.

The Winter Soldier has too big of a lead on Cap and manages to get into his Helicopter but Steve with his superhuman strength grabs the Helicopter and prevents it from flying away. After forcing it to land the Helicopter breaks into pieces and Captain America is told to stop by armed police officers to freeze where he is. Steve responds by jumping off the rooftop and while free falling through the air is saved by a man in a homemade costume gliding on a web. He puts Steve down and the Captain tells thanks him but the man is starstruck, saying how he's a huge fan and takes his mask off claiming that he's Spider-Man. Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier gets up on the ground until War-Machine flies down and arrests him. Outside the United Nations Building, T'Challa is walking until Rhodey goes up to him and says they captured the Winter Soldier. The King responds that it is good to hear that, but ultimately he must delay his return to Wakanda because of this. He has seen many cruel tyrants in his time as ruler but that man is not one of them. Every Hydra has one head above the rest, it must be cut off in the traditional way, through standard warfare, proving the Accords unnecessary. It then shows Zemo, undercover overhearing the whole ordeal. Who calls his Hydra soldiers telling them to keep "an eye on this entire situation".

It then shows Peter Parker walking through the hallway of his Queens apartment before entering the home. Once there, he gives Steve a New York Pizza for lunch and asks the obvious question, why was he running from the cops. Steve explains that a friend of his is caught up in a bad situation and he has to help him. Peter than asks him why he can’t get the rest of the Avengers to help, and Steve says that it’s complicated. Parker responds saying if he ever needs someone watching his back, he’s actually kind of a superhero himself. Steve gives him advice that he shouldn’t give his identity away just like that, saying that an unregistered vigilante like him could get in serious trouble if the wrong people caught on. Peter says that he knows, he’s new to this crime fighting thing and only has time to do it between homework breaks. Steve then realizes how young he is and asks why someone his age would be doing this.

Peter mentions on a school trip he was bitten by a radioactive spider and got amazing abilities from it. Shooting webs, sticking to walls, sensing danger before it even happens. Captain America comments that he thought webs came out of Spider's butts, but Peter corrects him saying it comes from their abdomen. He continues claiming that he was a small nerd his whole life, but that spider made him stronger than the whole football team combined. Steve asks him why he doesn't want to play then, and Peter says he did! He wanted to athlete like he never could. But that when you don't use your powers for the right thing, and bad stuff happens, it happens because of you. With great power comes great responsibility. Steve tells him he lives his life by that everyday. Peter says that he knows, he used to collect those old comics and read them all the time when he was little.

Soon May Parker comes in and tells Peter that she’s home. Parker informs Captain America that's his Mom! Steve asks if she knows and he claims nobody does but him, and if she finds out she’ll freak. He needs to hide in the closet. Peter lets him in quickly while moving a box out of the way and a few random gizmos drop out. Parker tells Steve that those are some suit upgrades. The old costume he saw is kind of a work progress. Cap picks one of them up and is impressed, saying he gives Stark a run for his money. He then shuts the closet doors and May walks in. Telling Peter about her day and he acts jittery quickly trying to shut down the conversation and get her to go away. May asks him if he's okay... Peter is silent and May says she knows it's been hard for them since his father died, but if he wants to talk about it she's always here. Peter says that he knows and May leaves to give him some space. Steve walks out of the closet and Peter now melancholy says to always appreciate your loved ones when you have them. Steve is touched by this and says he shouldn't have dragged him into this, that he'll leave out the window. Peter exclaims it was nice meeting him and Captain America claims that he likes the name Spider-Man, thinking that it could catch on one day.

On the sidewalk, he calls Black Widow. Who says how happy she is Steve called, that S.H.I.E.L.D. is more crazy than ever about pushing the Accords, everyone is really mad at him for running after Bucky like that. Cap says he doesn't want to put the Avengers through this. He’ll come back and they’ll sort this out. At the lobby of Avengers Tower Steve walks in and is confronted by Everett Ross, Steve asks if he’s related to Thaddeus Ross, he tells him they're first cousins. He then says how Steve should be arrested for obstruction of justice, but S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stark both seem to have a lot of faith in him. Sharon Carter explains how they’re willing to come to a compromise on the Accords, they’re testing something new with the Winter Soldier at Camp Hammond in Stamford, Connecticut. If it works it'd make a solid case against what those documents are suggesting. Steve says he can't wait. At the Avengers Facility, Vision is cooking and Wanda recognizes the scent. Vision claims he spoke to Clint about feeling melancholy about everything that's been happening and wanted to make her favorite meal to help "lift her spirits".

Scarlet Witch claims she knows a good spice for this and can get him from the grocery store, but Vision blocks her way bluntly saying he cannot let her do that. Wanda asks if he's not letting her leave and he tells her it would be unwise to do so. She backs down and begins walking back to her room until Vision says that no one dislikes her, they can’t help but be afraid of what they don’t understand. Wanda claims that not a day goes by she wishes her and Pietro never got taken by Hydra, he gives her the analogy how he doesn’t know what the Infinity Stone in his head is, but that despite its dark past accepts it as a part of him. Those who designed the Insight Accords might not trust what she is, but that doesn't mean Wanda must feel that way about herself. There are many who see what she as something... beautiful. The Scarlet Witch smiles and thanks him for making this for her, how despite everything that’s happened, he's always made her feel at home in this cold place. Vision says he'll look in the pantry to see if they have any wine to compliment her meal. He walks inside and Pietro quickly runs in there telling Vision to stop it.

Quicksilver insisting that he knows Vision developing feelings for his sister. The synthezoid claims he has a close bond with her, yes, but if he's worried those feelings could turn romanic to remember that he has no actual genitalia. Pietro warns him not to play dumb, that he knows he's more than just a robot. But that they're on opposite sides here, and to not even think about taking his sister from him. He then leaves as Vision is disturbed by what just occurred. It then shows at a psychiatrist’s office Zemo comes in pretending to be a patient talking about the feelings of loss, sorrow and guilt he's been dealing with as of late. The therapist tells him they're out of time and he has to go somewhere important. Before leaving though, Helmut grabs a wire and strangles the Doctor, stealing his notes and credentials. In Stamford, the Winter Soldier is being detained at Camp Hammond while Captain America is sitting in the control room looking at the cameras. Tony walks in behind him and says that it’s good to see him back, he suggested an alteration to the Accord documents. Rehabilitation efforts before incarceration, maximum imprisonment instead of termination. Steve says that it sounds like a start.

Tony comments that he hoped it would be and asks why Steve couldn’t just advocate for this himself, why he would risk his career and reputation as an Avenger. The Captain insists the original documents was suggesting something totally immoral. If they don't hold truth and justice above all else they're no better than Hydra. Tony asks what this is really about, why is this the hill he wants to die on. Cap stays quiet, and Tony asks him if it’s Bucky. He’s doing this to save his friend. Steve claims it’s not like that and Tony yells to give him a break. When push comes to shove that’s where his loyalties lie. Steve responds claiming that’s part of it, yes. He’s was his best friend, and a good man. His own father Howard vouched for him too. Tony then sarcastically comments how he had no idea his father knew Captain America. Steve says that what’s happening to the Twins and other Agents because of their pasts is wrong too, he shouldn’t pretend like his side is perfect. Tony concludes saying it’s a good thing they’ve found this compromise, nothing that happened can’t be undone. King T’Challa enters Camp Hammond and Tony Stark shakes hands with him. Stark tells him he speaks for the entire government when he says he's grateful to Wakanda for not taking Bucky to one of their prisons. The King says he's not hurt, it's a small price to pay if it gives them more effort to focus on the true mind orchestrating this.

Ironically, Zemo is then escorted into the Camp by Director Maria Hill believing him to be the Psychiatrist hired to examine the Winter Soldier. In Bucky’s room, Steve is talking to him about their past life together. Bucky claims he can't remember any of it and doesn’t even know what's real anymore. He thought he was only born to be an assassin, but now Captain America is telling him he was this beloved war hero. Everett Ross eventually comes in and tells Steve that he needs to leave, they’re going to do the examination on Bucky now. Steve wishes him good luck and goes to the waiting room with Sam Wilson. Everett then tells the "Psychologist" to take all the time he needs. Zemo begins going over basic questions and then presses a button, which signals a bunch of Hydra soldiers outside to sabotage the wiring all over Camp Hammond. It causes the cameras to go down and the room doors to lock. Steve and Sam realize something’s wrong and begin trying to break out, but Zemo is able to unlock the Winter Soldier's restraints and orders him to break out.
