Tensions Rise Among HYDRA Leaders

SS General Roeder: The Führer is not accustomed to being ignored, Herr Schmidt. He funds your research because you promised him weapons.

SS General Schneider: You serve at his pleasure. He gave you this facility as a reward for your injuries.

Schmidt: Reward? Call it what it is, exile. I no longer reflect his vision of Aryan perfection.

Roeder: You think this is about appearances? Your HYDRA division has failed to produce so much as a rifle in over a year. And we had learned through local intelligence you had mounted a full-scale incursion into Norway.

Schneider: The Führer feels, how does he put it? "The Red Skull has been indulged long enough!

Schmidt: [shows them to his lab; [blood; pulls sheet off a Tesseract-powered laser cannon] Gentlemen... you have come to see the results of our work, hmm? Let me show you. Hitler speaks of a Thousand-Year Reich, but he cannot feed his armies for a month. His troops spill their ] across every field in Europe, but still he is no closer to achieving his goals.

Schneider: Thank you, Schmidt.

Schmidt: For what?

Schneider: For making it clear how obviously mad you are.

SS Major Hutter: [studies a map of all European capitals to be targeted, and sees one particular place] Berlin is on this map!

Schmidt: [aims the cannon at the SS officers] So it is.

Hutter: [Schmidt kills him and Schneider] You will be punished for your insolence! You will be brought before the Führer himself!

Roeder: [cornered at the locked door; gets vaporized by laser blast] SCHMIDT!

Schmidt: My apologies, Doctor, but we both knew HYDRA could grow no further in Hitler's shadow. Hail HYDRA.

HYDRA Scientists: Hail HYDRA!

Dr. Arnim Zola: [Schmidt looks to him and Zola reluctantly says] Hail HYDRA!
