Cleveland

Vasily Karpov sits, eating at the table in a cluttered house. He hears the sound of something crashing outside and peers through drawn blinds. out, Helmut Zemo stands by his car, the front end crumpled against Karpov's car

Helmut Zemo: Hello? Is this your car out front?

Zemo comes to the door.

Helmut Zemo: I jumped the curb

Karpov eyes his gun nearby.

Helmut Zemo: Maybe we could take care of it ourselves. If you wanna call the cops, that's okay too, I guess.

Vasily Karpov: No.Ni cops

Helmut Zemo: Thank you

Karpov slides a heavy-duty lock and opens the door, Zemo punches him.

All jumped at the sudden violence

Zemo is using a sledgehammer to smash a hole in the wall. He retrieves a large box from inside the hole and tips the contents onto a table. Karpov is hanging upside down, tied to pipes in his basement. There are various documents and a red book with a star on the cover. He holds the red book for a moment then opens a file. Inside is a photo of Karpov in military uniform and beret.

Helmut Zemo: You have kept your looks, Colonel.Congratulation

Karpov's head is in a sink, which is filling with water.

Helmut Zemo: Mission report: December 16, 1991

Tony, Steve, and Bucky tensed up at the date.

Samaira hug Tony as he just cuddled into her

Caroline is doing the same with Steve

Vasily Karpov: Who are you?

Helmut Zemo: My name is Zemo. I will repeat my question. Mission report. December 16, 1991

Vasily Karpov: How did you find me?

Helmut Zemo: When SHIELD Fell, Black Widow released HYDRA files to the public. Millions of pages much of it encrypted, not easy to decipher but...I have experience and patience. A man can do anything if he has those.

Natasha groaned saying

"Oh shit"

James and Harry just cuddled her saying it was not her fault

Vasily Karpov: What do you want?

Helmut Zemo: Mission report. December 16, 1991

Vasily Karpov: Go...To...Hell

Zemo goes to lean on the sink as water continues to flow into it. He turns off the tap and studies Karpov's upside-down face.

Helmut Zemo: HYDRA deserves its place on the ash heap. So your death would not bother me. But I'd have to use this book...and other bloodier methods to find what I need. I don't look forward to that. You'd only be dying for...Your pride

Zemo starts at Karpov then nods resignedly. He turns the tap back on. The water is up to Karpov's eyes. Zemo watches the water level rise.

Vasily Karpov: hail HYDRA

Holding the red book Zemo walks away. Karpov twitches and struggled in his bindings

 Tony looked with an emotionless face as he remember his kidnaped time in Afghanistan
