The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 3 Synopsis

Episode Written by: Derek Kolstad

Episode Directed By: Kari Skogland

Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes make their way to Berlin, where Bucky meets with Baron Helmut Zemo in his cell to get intel on the super soldier serum and the Flag Smashers. Without informing Sam, Bucky sets in train Zemo’s escape so that the three can work together.

Using Zemo’s resources they head to Madripor where Bucky must become his previous incarnation - The Winter Soldier - and Sam must play the alternate personality Conrad Mack (aka Smiling Tiger). They meet with a mid-level perp called Selby who informs them that a scientist, Doctor Wilfred Nagel, was hired by the Power Broker to continue his work on the serum.

As Sam’s cover is blown an unexpected guardian angel in the form of Sharon Carter comes to their aid, killing Selby. This places a bounty on the heads of Zemo, Bucky and Sam. Sharon joins them as they track down Nagel at the Madripor docks.

After Nagel tells them of his work on the serum with Hydra using the blood of Isaiah Bradley, then with the CIA after the fall of Hydra, he's now employed by the Power Broker. He also explains that Karli stole the only remaining 20 vials of serum from the Power Broker and headed to Riga, Latvia to try and save her teacher and mentor Momma Donya Medani.

With his information given up Zemo kills Nagel as a group of bounty hunters close in on them. After an intense shootout at the docks, Bucky, Sam and Zemo escape Madripoor and head to Riga to find Karli and the Flag Smashers. However, as they arrive in Latvia, Bucky Barnes makes his excuse to go for a walk around town, but soon finds himself face-to-face with a the Wakandan Dora Milaji, Oya, who has come for Zemo!
