Description
Nina begs to be freed, but Bruce doesn’t want to comply, because he thinks she was brainwashed. Zackery walks in and throws down the clock he found earlier. He says they have no time and that there is no home, but a prison. Nina tells Bruce to listen to his son, but he still won’t trust her. She asks why he is fighting and he says that he doesn’t know; the enemy could be anyone just like back in Vietnam. At this point, Nina uses her bionic arms to free herself. Meanwhile, Colossus continues through the Cold Warrior base, mowing down soldiers in his path. He rips doors from their hinges and shrugs off bullets, all the while demanding the soldiers tell him why they are fighting. He believes people fight over ideology and that the US and Russia back different sides of wars all across the world. Colossus arrives at Alexander’s room at last and chokes his assistant, Gregory, into unconsciousness. Alexander, surprisingly, is dressed and prepared to go quietly. He explains to Colossus that America fights on foreign soil to protect corporate interests and that America joins wars to get drug connections to finance covert operations. He says all this is necessary to national security. Alexander tells Colossus that his superiors will keep all this out of the papers and keep him away from imprisonment. Alexander has been washing his hands the entire time and Colossus asks him if his hands are clean enough yet. Back at the house, the neighbors agree that there are no victims in these events because there is no such thing as a victim. They believe this is because anyone could always just walk away from a victimizing situation. Inside, Nina is free and Bruce points his gun at her. She argues that he needs her. There is no chance for this to continue, since the Cold Warriors open fire once again and everyone jumps on the floor for cover. Outside, Grampa is sitting in his memory car reminiscing over a picture of Ingrid from Casablanca. His car is getting shot up but he remains ever oblivious.
