GUEST: “Boy at Dock” Actor Maxwell Newman 

On the Brooklyn waterfront, Heinz Kruger, desperate and cornered, grabs a young boy, clutching him as a shield. The boy’s mother screams, her voice raw with terror. “No! No! Not my son! Stop it! Don’t hurt him!”

Kruger, his eyes wild, snarls, “Get back!”

The boy struggles, shouting, “Let me go!”

The mother lunges forward, pleading. “Let go of my son! Don’t hurt him!”

Steve Rogers, sprinting toward the scene, his enhanced strength propelling him, raises his hands. “Wait, don’t! Don’t!” he yells, but Kruger, in a ruthless move, hurls the boy into the river.

“No! Don’t!” Steve cries, as he reaches the edge of the wharf. The boy bobs up, sputtering but defiant. “Go get him! I can swim!” he shouts.

Kruger bolts toward a waiting submarine, its hatch open as it prepares to dive. Steve’s gaze hardens, his focus locked on the Kruger as the sub’s engines rumble, beginning to submerge.
