1945 Agent Carter And The Howling Commandos

1945 Agent Carter and the Howling Commandos

Feature presentation!

This is Peggy Carter's first and possibly only movie with her name in the title.

Peggy, the Human Torch (Jim Hammond) and the Howling Commandos dealing with Hydra cells left after the war.

Espionage! Infiltration! Fighting bad guys!

We open on a memorial service for Steve. They believe he is lost to the icy waters he crashed into.

Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, the Human Torch (Jim Hammond), the Howling Commandos, Colonel Phillips etc attend. Then they share Steve stories at the wake.

Emotions are still raw, especially for Peggy and the commandos.

Howard is still looking for him, the SSR has stopped funding the search so Howard is using his own money. Peggy suggests, however hard it may be, that they try to move on. Howard doesn't believe Peggy, he knows she can't move on. He can't either so he won't give up.

Cut to two young adults being chased down the street in liberated Paris. They are kidnapped. They try to reason with their captors, the young man says, "Do you know who I am?" and the kidnappers know exactly who they are. Not the response he was expecting.

The young woman says "Our father has money, he can pay you". But they are not interested in the money…Hail Hydra.

Back at SSR HQ (or 'the playground') Jim is discussing a mission to locate and take out a Hydra bunker (believed to be in northern Italy) with Peggy and Howard. As they finish Peggy is approached by Lord James Montgomery Falsworth, member of the Howling Commandos, revealed here to be a major financier of the SSR. It was his children, Brian and Jacqueline, that were taken, in Paris, just like their mother. There is no ransom note either, also like their mother.

He is trying to maintain a stiff upper lip but failing miserably. Jim offers to stay and help. Peggy points out that, unfortunately, Hydra won't defeat itself. They resolve to find them. Jim wishes them luck and sets off for Italy.

Cut to Brian and Jacqueline in a holding cell with other prisoners. A Hydra scientist, Werner Rheinhardt, enters carrying the Obelisk artifact in special safety gloves. An armed guard insists one of the prisoners hold it, bare handed. They turn to stone. The stone person is taken away.

They then start harassing Brian to do it, so Jacqueline steps in to volunteer, despite his protests. To their relief, she does not turn to stone. Instead, Rheinhardt utters, 'discovery requires experimentation' and she is taken away as Brian is beaten unconscious with the butt of the guards rifles.

Peggy, Howard and Lord James and the other HCs have travelled incognito, posing as journalists. In their hotel room Gabe and Howard present them with discreet gadgets they designed and produced together. All are impressed with Gabe's hidden talents. Howard laments that he is too well known now to go with them and hopes they don't blow themselves up with the exploding toaster. Jacques excitedly says, "There's an exploding toaster!?". Howard points out that he was joking. Jacques looks disappointed. Howard says maybe next time.

They have traced Brian and Jacqui's last known location to a small café near the city centre. They make discreet enquiries and deduce there is a new waiter who served them on the day and hasn't been to work since.

They go to his address and he seemingly isn't home. Jacques suggests a small controlled explosion to blow the lock. Gabe counters that to be more discreet, then should use the laser disguised as a pack of cigarettes to cut the lock. Jacques is disappointed.

They cut the lock and enter, the apartment is empty but the bathroom window is open. Lord James spies a man on the rooftops who flees. The gang take to the streets while Falsworth squeezes through and pursues across the rooftops of Paris.

The suspect is very good at rooftop running, but not quite as good as Falsworth and they engage in a thrilling chase. Lord James is in constant communication with the team using their walkie talkies disguised as American quarters. Peggy has an idea if he can force the man down to street level.

He is able to corral his quarry down a fire escape and through an apartment window and down the main staircase into the street. The team then begin to cut off his escape routes, through coordination with Peggy, until he is forced down a narrow sidestreet. There he sees Peggy, having not spotted her in the apartment, pleads in French for her help from a gang of pursuing thugs. Je suis désolé, says Peggy pulling out her pistol, my French is a little rusty. The suspect turns away from her to flee again but is punched out by Dugan instead.

Jacques offers Peggy French lessons. She says she lied, she's actually fluent in French, but it was a good line. Jacques looks disappointed.

Falsworth is praised by the group for his amazing free running skills, they ask where he learned them. He says he studied under Georges Hébert who in turn had learned these skills from "indigenous tribes he had met in Africa" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour) for a special military project in WWI.

Peggy surmises that he was the mysterious WWI hero Union Jack. Peggy and the gang are astonished and asked why he didn't show those skills (rooftop running, parkour, amazing feats of agility) before. He says Steve did all that stuff and was better at it too.

Peggy says oh pish posh (or something else peculiarly British like that) and tells Falsworth to take the compliments.

They take the suspect for questioning.

Back at the Hydra research facility, Rheinhardt is monologuing to Jacqui about how few people could survive contact with the Obelisk and how they are yet to exactly determine why they do. From what they have discovered by interrogating and dissecting other survivors they believe it is something to do with their genetics being different to other humans. Genetics, muses Werner, you appear to share with your mother. Jacqueline asks if they took her mother, if she is still alive. Werner says she escaped and they don't know how (he is irritated by not knowing things).

He resumes monologuing. There are mentions of a ritual, he says, for beings such as you…to awaken their true potential. The ritual involved crystals and Rheinhardt has actually managed to procure some. He instructs the guard to break it and leaves for the observation room.

The guard follows the instructions and the gas from the broken crystal turns both them and Jacqui into stone. Rheinhardt is disappointed as he believed they were finally getting somewhere. He tells his assistant to put the stone bodies into storage.

Brian, meanwhile, is about to have the latest batch of Hydra brand super soldier serum. It uses the blood of the Obelisk survivors to make up the gaps in Erskine's original formula. After the procedure, they are surprised to see he has survived as the last 47 batches have resulted in death for the test subjects.

Their success is short lived however as Brian, unaccustomed to the super-strength, breaks the lab and accidentally kills the technicians.

The café waiter/suspect wakes up in the basement of an abandoned building. He is interrogated by Peggy (good cop) and Dum Dum (bad cop).

He eventually confesses that he was blackmailed under the threat of being revealed as a Nazi collaborator. An old contact had heard of the Falsworth children coming to Paris. The Café was a favourite of the Falsworths in the interwar years. They had installed the young man as a waiter with instructions to call if they came to the café. They ask for the number and Jim radios Howard to call back to base to trace it to its origin.

The young man says he couldn’t do it before because he was too scared.

Peggy says "Do what?"

The man says that he is now more scared of what will happen if he is found out. He says they are executing collaborators.

Peggy says perhaps they can come to an arrangement, then she realises his intentions. It is too late. He bites the hidden cyanide capsule and dies.

"It's Hydra" says Peggy, "of course it's bloody Hydra."

The number then comes back as Austrian. Howard, glad to feel useful again, will fly them. Dugan realises, entirely too late, they could have used the hand-held hypno-beam disguised as a hair dryer.

The Hydra research facility is masquerading as a grand hotel. Peggy checks in with Howard as he's terrible at espionage and is under strict instructions to keep his mouth shut. Her German is still good and she even manages an Austrian accent. Their disguises are top notch and so they go to their room without suspicion. They do some reconnaissance and Peggy finds an area that is off limits to guests and the staff don't know what's in there.

Peggy goes back to the room and calls reception for help as her "hair dryer" has an American plug. It is secretly the hypno beam. She convinces the receptionist to let the Howling Commandos in the service door. They are disguised as staff and the hypno beam makes the receptionist tell anyone who asks that they are new.

Howard, putting on a slightly different accent, plays the brash American tourist (not a big stretch for him) and wanders into the restricted area and starts taking pictures. The receptionist makes a fuss about not being allowed in there.

The Howling Commandos rush over and Gabe, who also speaks good German, assures them that they'll take care of it. Peggy hurries over with the pretense of rescuing her 'dummkopf' American husband.

The camera is actually a portable x-ray scanner and shows a secret door that is sealed electronically.

The receptionist is starting to get suspicious when Gabe activates the EMP joy buzzer which lets them in the door. They slip away unnoticed in the ensuing chaos. When the lights come back on the receptionist goes to check up on them and they are gone. With no knowledge of the secret door they reason that they simply didn't notice them go past.

They gain access to the underground bunker (it's always an underground bunker isn't it?), stow their gear and change into Hydra uniforms. Jim Morita uses the UHF Pin to radio for backup with instructions on how to get in.

They try to go stealth mode for a while but arouse suspicions when they don't know some of the new Hydra protocols. Howard confirms it with his feeble attempt at a 'Hail Hydra'.

Aware that Hydra research subjects tend not to survive, they launch a full on assault of the facility with back up already on the way.

Jacqueline awakens from what we now realise was terragenesis and has gained pyrokinetic powers. She and her brother make their own way through the compound, with somewhat unintentional violence.

They are heading away from the labs, towards the centre of the huge underground complex of corridors and tunnels. Peggy's team are heading down through the tunnels to reach the labs. They all converge near the centre of the complex.

Lord James is obviously thrilled that they are both alive and seemingly well.

His kidults tell him to stay back and relay some of their harrowing experiences. They are both afraid of their powers.

Human Torch arrives. He destroyed the Italian base and left an SSR clean up crew. He followed a lead from that base to Austria. Word in Italy was that Werner Rheinhardt is the last head of Hydra.

Seeing Jacqui's fear, the Torch remembers his own struggles in learning to control his own powers.

He reassures her that she can't hurt him and he will help her learn to control it.

Brian wants to be left behind and is distraught at all the death he has caused. Peggy and Lord James convince him to join, albeit reluctantly.

Rheinhardt has escaped to a storage facility.

As it turns out, the kids powers prove useful in accessing the escape tunnel, though the transport is long gone.

Werner is desperately trying to load up as many artefacts as he can before he escapes, especially the Obelisk. He laments that he cannot experiment further on Jacqueline as she not only survived but gained powers too. He is relieved to hear they have more samples of the batch of serum that gave Brian his powers.

Peggy's team arrive, with backup (and the Torch) and get the drop on Werner. They arrest him and his goons. Peggy volunteers to interrogate him.

In the chaos of securing the base, Brian is able to destroy the whole batch of serum. Howard is livid at losing a possibility to complete Erskine's work. Peggy however, approves. She believes that Steve was unique and worries that they could end up with hundreds of Johann Schmidts running around instead.

She sees that Brian has recognised that risk too and that says something about his character.

Peggy arrives at the Playground after her first interrogation of Rheinhardt at the Rat.

Colonel Phillips has been leading the debrief. He notes that Jacqueline and Brian have been reunited with their father. He says their presence here indicates they have some degree of control over their powers.

Jim Hammond says their training is going well. Jacqueline says she hasn't set anything on fire today, at least, not by accident. The two are clearly getting on well.

Brian is more reticent. He hasn't managed to get through a training session without injuring an instructor. Peggy volunteers to help him as she has some experience with super soldiers.

Phillips asks if she got anything useful from Rheinhardt. She says he may have lost his marbles, he keeps going on about blue angels. Besides, she has seen the results of his experiments for Hydra and isn't sure if gaining his knowledge is worth the moral cost.

Colonel Phillips says there are two big announcements. First, after days of research and fact checking and double checking, it appears Hammond was right. Werner Rheinhardt appears to be the last head of Hydra. It's over.

(Many congratulations all around. Apart from Peggy who shakes her head).

Second, he is retiring.

(Various reactions).

He'd been thinking about it and, with the last piece of news, it just seemed like a good time.

He hands over to the new Agent in Charge, John Flynn.

Flynn: Hello everyone. A pleasure to meet you. If I could get straight to business…with the war over and Hydra defeated-

Peggy (interrupting): Don't be so sure they're gone. We have to-

F (interrupting back): Settle down, sweetheart.

P (standing): What did you just say to me?

Howard manages to convince her to stand down. Flynn continues. They will be relocating the SSR base from London to New York. Effective immediately. Everyone will have to relocate. Uproar. Colonel Phillips settles everyone down.

Flynn says the Falsworth children will need to stay on base until they are deemed to be safe. The Falsworths are not happy.

Flynn is starting to get flustered. He apologetically tells Howard that they can longer justify spending SSR funds on a futile search for Captain Rogers. Howard points out they are his funds and he can damn well do what he pleases with them. He walks out. Peggy follows him, leaving the debrief in chaos behind her.

Howard apologises and said he had heard rumours that Phillips was retiring but didn't realise he was being replaced by a moron. He says they should have asked her to take charge. She agrees. This lightens the mood somewhat.

Howard: Listen I was thinking of starting up my own agency.

Just think…you, me, the boys. If Union Jack over there comes with us we can run it our way, the right way. Be like a shield of armour around the world.

Peggy: I'll think about it…

Will you really keep looking for Steve?

H: I have to.

P: You can't move on?

H: I can't. He was my friend.

P: I suppose I can't stop myself helping broken soldier boys either.

Howard leaves her to consider her future with the SSR.

Mid credits:- Lord James Falsworth has just agreed to join Howard's new project and is trying to get the SSR to release his children. Jacqueline and Brian approach him with a theory about their mother.

Post credits:- From a deep dug mass grave in a forest (with Hydra's grand Austrian hotel dilapidated in the background) a person digs their way out. They spend a moment processing their survival. Then they notice they look different from how they remember. It is…Baron Blood!

The X-Men adaption of my heart would in fact be a low-stakes sitcom about the Mutant Brotherhood. Yes, they are absolutely getting up to world-shaping shenanigans off-screen, it's just not central to the story.

Episodes would include:

- Magneto is trying to plan a Pesach seder and keeps getting interrupted. Interruptions range from "Dad, we tried to bake more matzah and somehow the oven caught on fire and Pyro tried to help and now the whole kitchen is on fire!" to "No, Erik, we have to reschedule the seder because we need to assassinate this Senator tonight."

- Wanda accidentally opened a portal to Hell while experimenting with her powers, and now everyone is scrambling to get rid of all the demons, curses, and general chaos before Erik gets home.

- X-Men vs. Brotherhood prank war. Pietro moves all of the furniture in the X-Mansion two inches to the left. Kitty sneaks into the Brotherhood's headquarters and glitterbombs everything. Wanda puts an actual curse on the X-Men uniforms that just ties everyone's shoelaces together at inconvenient moments.

- The Brotherhood has a betting pool on Magneto's relationship/intensely homoerotic rivalry/frienemies with benefits set-up/kismesitude with Professor X. Mystique is trying to "subtly" rearrange circumstances in order to win the bet. So is Angel. So is Emma Frost.

Unbeknownst to them, the X-Men also have a betting pool on Professor X's relationship/intensely homoerotic rivalry/frienemies with benefits set-up/kismesitude with Magneto. Jean Grey is also trying to "subtly" rearrange circumstances in order to win the bet. So is Gambit. So is Kitty Pryde.

Chaos ensues.

1941 Namor the Submariner Vs The Human Torch

Be prewarned! This is a long post people!

This was written long before I saw Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but only needed some minor edits to make it work with that movie.

The Talokanil have extremely long lifespans compared to humans, though none as long as Namor or Thor (for example). This way we can start to build a relationship between Namor, Namora and Attuma here.

Open on Talokan at night time. Guards on night watch are snatched one by one. We look from the last guards pov as they hear the commotion then see their comrades bio luminescent lamps dropping down in the ocean. The unseen attacker gets closer and closer, snatches the guard's partner and then them, Merrano's face (just for a second), blackout.

Cut to Jim Hammond (Human Torch) in his human disguise. He has been given a placement with the NYPD through the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR). As an employee of the SSR he must secretly keep his ear to the ground for shenanigans in New York (mainly Hydra). He proudly vows to serve and protect.

Cut to another night time raid on Talokan.

Namora: Namor, wake up it's happening again.

He chases and loses Merrano but finds a seaplane with Talokanil being bundled inside. He swims towards it but it takes off. He flies after it and disables the engine. It lands bumpily. He frees the prisoners and interrogates the crew. They are Americans, just taking payment to deliver Talokanil (the Americans refer to them as Atlantis people and mermaids) to a floating fortress in the Atlantic. He leaves them stranded (with a warning) and heads for the fortress location with the Tri team (Namora and Attuma with water breathing apparatus). The scientists are from all over the world but they all work for Hydra (complete with snazzy green and yellow uniforms!).

They split up to scout the structure.

Jim is finishing up his first shift when he gets a call from Howard.

He was made aware of American seaplane pilots being repatriated after being stranded at sea off the coast of Mexico.

They have an incredible story of kidnapping mermaids and a floating fortress and a man with ankle wings. Something in the tale leads Howard to believe them.

Namora and Attuma come across the Atlantean living quarters. They are kept in a room with several sea water sprinklers which they all gather around, desperate to get some water over their gills. The Tri Team are horrified.

Attuma sets to working on their escape. Namora continues to scout.

Namor comes across Merrano in a seawater tank. He knows he should carry on covertly and meet back up with the team, but he can't ignore the traitor. He smashes the tank and engages in battle.

Merrano is much stronger than Namor remembers. He gets regular doses of a specially adapted version of Erskine's serum that adds to his Talokanilian strength. If he misses a dose, the strength wears off.

They are fairly evenly matched, but Namor is gaining the upper hand. Then Hydra goons arrive and set the flamethrowers on them. Namor, dehydrated, is subdued and captured.

He wakes to Merrano complaining about how he could have been killed by the flamethrowers. This is addressed to Johann Schmidt who is admiring his unusual specimen. His colleague, Arnim Zola, is particularly fascinated by the ankle wings and the fact that Namor isn't blue out of the water. Schmidt asks a suffering Namor where his friends are and, getting unsatisfactory answers, boasts about the horrible experiments his people are undergoing (discovery requires experimentation). The continued threat to his people does not break him.

Merrano is still complaining…

Schmidt: Do you still want to conquer Atlantis?

Merrano: Yes, of co-

Schmidt (interrupting): You can achieve this without Hydra?

Merrano: No.

Schmidt: Then shut up!

Arnim Zola: We need more specimens to study. We need more technology from Atlantis before we can strike.

Namor (spying Namora above, grinning): Actually, it's called Talokan.

She takes them by surprise, besting Schmidt and the scientists. She frees Namor from his arid prison and protects him as he is weakened. As they are surrounded by onrushing guards Attuma arrives with refreshed Talokanil.

The Talokanil are strong, but only the Tri Team have their weapons. They more than hold their own in the fight but are starting to fall to Hydra's flamethrower troops.

Outside we see the Talokanil conch division surface (they were always part of the plan but Namor couldn't keep his rage at Merrano in check leading to an early confrontation). This division will mind control humans in BP:WF but here they summon a Kraken with their toot horns.

Namor has been trying different tactics to limit their losses and stay in the fight until reinforcements arrived. When he hears the conch division he has Namora lead a retreat to the submarine bay. The Talokanil are escaping to the water with Hydra in pursuit when the Kraken strikes.

Namor has his Warriors take out any land dwellers escaping from the sinking fortress. No mercy. Though Schmidt, Zola and Merrano will all have to make an escape.

The survivors are returned home to much fanfare and remembrance of those who were lost. Namor is pissed off.

The next day.

The SSR go to investigate the reports of the floating fortress and find the wreck. They are mistaken for a raiding party by the Talokanil. They are attacked and their boat destroyed. Howard witnesses these incredible scenes (i.e. his team getting attacked by blue people and dragged underwater) from his propeller plane. He just about manages to get away from Namor who chases after him. He radios a message to HQ telling Jim to get back to work and listen out for anything out of the ordinary, especially if it involves blue people.

The SSR team are taken prisoner, though they protest their innocence. They are American.

Namor takes the Tri Team to attack a target on American soil. They trash the Coney Island lighthouse in retaliation and anyone who tries to stop them is put in their place.

Namor wants to go further inland, but Namora and Attuma are unsure as they cannot breathe the air like he can.

He sends them back and goes on to New York alone.

Jim overhears the call about blue people trashing the Coney Island lighthouse and takes Betty to investigate. She complains that it is not their beat and that it sounds ludicrous, but Jim says he has a hunch.

Namor is accidentally sucked into a sewage pipe, and comes out near a power station. He trashes the power station.

Jim and Betty survey the massive damage done to the lighthouse. The people who tried to stop the vandalism say it will take years to restore it it, but restore it they will. Jim asks about the blue people. They say they didn't think the police believed them. Jim says he does.

They say that two blue people swam back thattaway but the one with wings on his ankles swam up the river towards New York. Betty rolls her eyes.

Namor is accosted by a nervous security guard and accidentally kills him in anger after being shot. He flees another after being shot at again, though they miss this time. He is too tired, injured and weak to fly away so he runs.

NYPD Police start a big manhunt for a man with winged ankles. This information is not released to the press as Howard used some leverage to make them do it. The officers naturally don't believe the story. Jim does, of course, and he and Betty take part in the hunt.

Namor is fairly easy to spot on the run with his swimming costume and winged ankles (also with a bullet wound), too tired and injured to fly and can't get close enough to the water.

Whilst being pursued he causes havoc, wrecking New York along the way. Sometimes accidentally because of his strength while fleeing, other times on purpose using his super strength to help him escape. He is also still pissed off but pretty scared now.

Namor disguises himself with a homeless man's clothing. He manages to hide out in Central Park till near dark. He has a flashback of the security guard's death. He is quite terrified, out of his depth, literally.

He climbs in Central Park lake to calm down, but is spotted and soon has police on his tail again.

He escapes and swims down the Hudson. Namor is tiring. Police helicopters and boats are closing in. He can't outrun them.

He makes it to the Statue of Liberty. He uses his superhuman strength to barricade the door. Some sightseers are trapped inside, terrified. He says he will only harm those who would harm him or his people. He makes his way up to the head to recuperate.

Police set up outside. Officer Betty Dean is trying to talk him down with a megaphone. Jim says tell him that The Human Torch is on his way (The Torch is well known on the streets of New York for fighting crime). Namor says he doesn't care. He can beat the surface dweller's champion. Jim makes excuses and leaves the scene, turning on his flame in secret.

(If we're going with Sandy as a grown woman/romantic partner in Namor's solo movie then she can have a small role in this movie. Say, the Pierces are watching this on TV. Sandy says she has to go, she can help. Then she does go, despite her parents' protests.)

Torch flies up to Lady Liberty's head and tries to threaten Namor into coming down, Namor does not respond well to threats.

The police have breached the doors, released the civilians and are coming up. Namor decides to fight. Somewhat rested he is now able to fly and fight. He takes on the Torch and fights well. He has to break from the Torch periodically as his touch is dehydrating. In flight Jim is his match, but Namor will not run away. The Torch thinks he has the upper hand, but Namor really shows his strength. He strikes Hammond and knocks him all the way down to the police gathered at the base of the statue, including Betty

Namor stops the fight to check she's alright.

The Torch is back up…

THT: You nearly killed those police officers.

N: You were attacking me! I have a right to defend myself and my people.

THT: You trashed New York! And what's more, you did kill a man...at the power station.

B: He's right, you did.

Namor says the death was an accident but refuses to apologise, America attacked Talokan first. They both tell him America is not attacking his home as they didn't know it existed but he doesn't believe them.

The argument escalates.

Namor and Jim basically tell Betty to stand back (her response is something like 'for goodness sake') so they can fight again.

Namor is quite durable so can stand up to the heat without getting badly burned but he is becoming dehydrated. This is his weakness. Jim notices and tries to press his advantage.

Namor plunges back into the river and swims south, heading for open water.

Jim manages to catch up and grabs him, tries to pull him out of the water. The contact with water weakens Jim a little, Namor notices and tries to pull him down.

They do make landfall and have an epic battle back on Coney Island, wrecking the place. The residents are up in arms! 'Not again!' they cry.

After crashing together into an industrial building Namor mistakenly jumps in a water tank thinking it will lead into a tunnel like the one at the power station. Instead he is trapped.

Jim busts open the water tank and the spill knocks Namor out.

He comes to behind Howard Stark's unbreakable glass, though Namor tries.

Stark, Torch and Agent Flynn are discussing what can be done.

Officer Dean is being kept in an interview room nearby as Namor seemed to respond to her. Jim reveals his true identity and asks for her help.

((If we are having a Sandy storyline) Dean picks out an officer radioing that he has been approached by a Sandy Pierce, a woman, who is claiming to have befriended Namor. She also claims her father, Henry, went into business with the Talokanil. This would corroborate Namor's story that he is a prince of the underwater kingdom. Stark says he knows a Henry Pierce who's in the oil business.

Officer Dean goes to Namor says is it okay if she brings in a visitor, who claims to know him. He gets flustered when he sees it's Sandy.

Dean is called out. Sandy half convinces him that the USA is not attacking Talokan).

Officer Dean comes back with another visitor after a raised voices outside (Flynn doesn't think the visitor should go inside). President Roosevelt!

The PUSA further convinces Namor they are not enemies, "In fact, if your people are under threat, we will lend you our Human Torch and the resources of the fine men and women of the SSR to find the culprits"

"Thank you President Roosevelt"

"I must insist on a written apology for the family of the security guard that was killed. Accidental or not.

It won't bring him back, and I can't guarantee a pardon, it is a serious crime. But it would be a first step towards an understanding between our people."

Namor is uncharacteristically lost for words.

"Perhaps, with the help of your (two) friends here, we can negotiate a peace treaty between our nations...

And then, Prince Namor, I would ask for your help in return."

(Sandy and) Officer Dean encourage Namor through this whole exchange with the PUSA.

The SSR prisoners taken at the fortress are released at an agreed location and taken back to headquarters for medical checks.

Cut to boat with Jim, Betty Dean (Namor insisted she came) and Howard Stark following Namor, Namora and Attuma (J (aside to Betty): They really are blue… BD: Says the bright red man…)) to the ruins of the fortress where his people were taken. Hydra is long gone but Howard has a macguffin which allows them to track Talokanil. Most traces lead back to Talokan, but there are some heading to Europe. They follow the trail to (country? Spain maybe?) and discover Meranno and his mind controlled Talokanil army. They divide and conquer (dehumidifier for Stark, Betty Dean, Namora, Bobo and Jim's group, super strength for Namor) and manage to rescue the majority of Namor's people. Merrano is defeated but escapes again.

Namor returns to Talokan with Betty and the peace treaty and declares that he will help the allies against the axis.

1945 Agent Carter
