Peggy Carter


[MUSIC PLAYING]
ROMANOFF: This is S.H.I.E.L.D.
ROGERS: Maybe where it started.
ROMANOFF: Hmm.
And there's Stark's father.
ROGERS: Howard.
Who's the girl?
Gentlemen, I am Agent Carter.
I supervise all operations for this division.
SOLDIER: What's with the accent,
Queen Victoria?
Thought I was signing up
for the U.S. Army.
- What's your name, soldier?
- Gilmore Hodge, Your Majesty.
CARTER: Step forward, Hodge.
HODGE: Mm. We gonna wrassle?
'Cause I got a few moves
I know you'll like.
[CHUCKLES]
Our goal is to create the first
in a new breed of super-soldier.
- Faster, ladies! Come on.
- [GRUNTS]
You win wars with guts.
- Grenade!
- [SOLDIERS WHIMPER]
ROGERS: Get away!
SOLDIER: It was a dummy grenade.
BOY: Hey, Ronnie. Get the ball!
ROGERS: I don't know
why you'd want to join the Army
if you were a beautiful dame.
Or a A woman.
An agent. Not a dame.
You are beautiful, but
You have no idea
how to talk to a woman, do you?
This is the longest conversation I've had.
Women aren't lining up
to dance with a guy they might step on.
You must have danced.
Well, asking a woman to dance
always seemed so terrifying.
And the past few years, it just
didn't seem to matter that much.
I figured I'd wait.
For what?
The right partner.
STARK: We may dim half the lights in Brooklyn,
but we are ready.
ERSKINE: Five,
four
[EXHALES]
three,
- two
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
one.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
ERSKINE: Now, Mr. Stark.
PEGGY: How do you feel?
[PANTING]
Taller.
Oh.
Um
You look taller.
[CROWD EXCLAIMS]
MAN: Oh, no.
- As of today, the SSR is being retasked.
- CARTER: Colonel?
We are taking the fight to Hydra.
Pack your bags, Agent Carter.
The Hydra camp is tucked between
these two mountain ranges.
It's a factory of some kind.
[GRUNTING]
- Let's hear it for Captain America!
- [SOLDIERS CHEERING]
CARTER: Howard has
equipment for you to try.
What do you think?
The women of America,
they owe you their thanks.
Yes, I think it works.
We barely got out alive,
and you want us to go back?
I see your top squad is prepping for duty.
You don't like music?
I do, actually.
I might even,
when this is all over, go dancing.
[CHUCKLES]
What are we waiting for?
The right partner.
PHILLIPS: Hydra's last base is here,
in the Alps.
SOLDIER: Watch your back! Move it!
ROGERS: You're late.
- Weren't you about to
- Right.
[TIRES SCREECH]
Get in!
CARTER: Wait!
Go get him.
I'm not kissing you!
- [GRUNTS]
- [ENGINE REVS]
[GRUNTING]
[ENGINE WHIRRING]
ROGERS: There's not gonna be a safe landing.
But I can try and force it down.
I'll get Howard, he'll know what to do.
ROGERS: There's not enough time.
It's moving too fast
and heading for New York.
I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance.
[SOBBING]
All right.
A week, next Saturday, at the Stork Club.
You got it.
CARTER: 8:00 on the dot.
Don't you dare be late. Understood?
You know, I still don't know how to dance.
I'll show you how.
Just be there.
ROGERS: Peggy?
CARTER: Steve?
Steve?
[ALARM BUZZING]
PHILLIPS: We have a locked position on Zodiac.
[MAN GRUNTING]
[YELLING]
Help!
[MAN GROANS]
- [PEGGY GRUNTS]
- [MAN GROANS]
STARK: I have orders for Agent Carter.
If this is about last night, rest assured
she will be properly disciplined.
Tell her she'll be running
S.H.I.E.L.D. with me.
FURY: You've been asleep, Cap.
For almost 70 years.
- You gonna be okay?
- ROGERS: Yeah, I just
I had a date.
SHARON: Margaret Carter was known
to most as a founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I asked her once how she managed
to master diplomacy and espionage
in a time when no one wanted to see
a woman succeed at either.
She said, compromise where you can.
Where you can't, don't.
ROGERS: Be proud of yourself, Peggy.
CARTER: Well, I have lived a life.
My only regret is that
you didn't get to live yours.
You were meant for more than this.
You told me I was meant
for more than this.
- Did you mean that?
- Every word.
CARTER: The world has changed
and none of us can go back.
Gonna miss you, buddy.
ROGERS: I couldn't leave my best girl.
Not when she owes me a dance.
You ready, Cap?
You bet.
