Episode 4:

Train yard. Jarvis paying some thugs. 3 guys outside as guards. Jarvis is told to give more money. A smuggler deal.

A guard checks out a rail car. Peggy knocks him out. The other 2 come investigating and she takes them out, too. All in a dress.

Jarvis says he doesn't agree to extortion. They insist. So he presses a button on the briefcase. They open it and a gas takes out one. Peggy knocks out the other.

Their package is Howard Stark! He asks how they're getting along. Peggy asks why he came. He says he'll explain at the house. She spots 2 agents and tells Jarvis to take a left. He asks where can I hide? She says take a right up ahead. They stop at The Griffith.

Peggy sneaks him in the building. She tells him to get in the dumbwaiter. Miriam finds Peggy. The hours you keep worry me. Do you know how many men I've caught in that dumbwaiter? She insists on walking Peggy to her room.

Chief and Thompson at the office. They don't know where the signals go from the typewriter. Chief wants to go to Germany. Nobody wants to talk about what really happened in Finhau. He leaves Thompson in charge.

Miriam and Peggy. Miriam says young women do not know how to govern their own impulses. Your laundry? Peggy gets a sack from the dumbwaiter. No Howard. Miriam leaves her. Howard is in another girl's room already. 3B. He has lipstick all over his face.

Howard wants to order room service. She says there is none. And he's bound for Rio in 3 days. How many of my devices have you recovered? She asks why not have Jarvis ask me. Howard has a pen camera. Heh.

Thompson calls a meeting. Says he's in charge and none of you will be resting. Form a single file to my office to get your assignments. Sousa and Peggy talk. He wants to check out the public phone. Peggy is told to get lunch orders.

She visits the lab. And starts taking photos with the pen. The scientist says Howard Stark is either an ignoramus or a genius. She says most likely both.

Sousa at the dock. Chats with a couple guys. Homeless guys. Did you see anything? One says he wasn't there. The other, Frank, gets arrested.

Mr. Mink is not happy with his goons. Kills them with a rotating barrel pistol. The actual model would be a muzzle-loader. A bit of TV magic on this one.

Peggy returns home. No Howard. He's in a different room with a different girl. Peggy says he's disgusting.

Sousa brings Frank in. Tells Thompson the man may have seen something. The agents mock him.

Peggy and Howard look at the negative. Angie's knocking. Howard tells her she should go. But bring back some food.

Sousa talks to Frank. I walk into a diner and everyone starts clapping. For me in my dress uniform. And then another GI walks in. And no one claps. They clapped for my leg and my crutch. Clapping because I make them feel guilty. We're both people nobody cares about. Frank says no one clapped for me. We all got sad stories, but I still don't talk to cops, even pathetic ones. Sousa leaves the room. Thompson listened. Sousa says the guy would say so if he didn't see something, so he saw something.

Angie and Peggy. The girls sneak food from the dining hall. Peggy goes back to her room. Howard says I need you to steal one of my inventions from your lab.

Every invention can cause large scale destruction. The Blitzkrieg Button will cut out all the power and the lights won't come back on. The grid gets destroyed. Howard says he's the only one that can deactivate it. He tells Peggy to not let anyone touch that device. Hands her a mock-up to swap.

She meets up with Jarvis.

Thompson comes in on Sousa's interrogation with food and booze. Eating and drinking in front of Frank. Sousa tells him he should leave. Thompson says this is yours if you tell us what you know. Frank says a fancy guy and a woman got off the boat. That's all....he hid when the cops came.

Nuremburg Prison - Chief meets with the Nazi. Do you know these men? They're Russians said to have died in Finhau. Tell me what happened at that battle and I'll help you escape.

Peggy and Jarvis. Jarvis is nervous. She says you don't think Howard would use it, do you? Of course not. A car is following them.

Chief and the Nazi. Chief offers him cyanide. Now tell me about the Battle. There was no battle. No German fought a Russian there. We found a massacre. Whoever attacked them was long gone. Chief doubts the story. Nazi insists. Chief gives him a pill. He leaves and offers the guard a breath mint. Ha!

Thompson tells Sousa he did good today.

Peggy sneaks into the lab and does the swap. Leaves the lab. She looks at the device. Uses the switch and opens it. There's a vial inside of blood?? She goes in a room and....runs into Thompson. He says only the men had to stay late. He asks why she works here. He says you're hiding something. And no man will ever consider you an equal. It's how the universe works. She says she can always rely on him to tell the truth. Goodnight.

Peggy goes home and asks Howard what's in the vial. Okay, you're angry. She says she's curious. He says you know, we both know. She says I don't. Tell me. He says Steve Roger's blood. She punches him.

Mr. Mink followed her home. He enters the lobby. Brought flowers. For Peggy. Miriam says he can't deliver them. Are you the delivery man or suitor? He says he loves her. Then leaves.

Peggy and Howard argue. She's angry. He says I grew up on the Lower East Side. You don't climb without learning some bad habits. My natural instinct is to lie, and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you. 1 vial went to Howard. The gov't has 11. He thinks Captain America's blood holds the key to saving millions of people. She accuses him of only looking for profit. Steve Rogers dedicated his life to this country. So thank you for reminding me who he was and what I aspire to be.

Mr. Mink went through the ventilation shaft. He's on the 3rd floor. Dotty kills him and takes his pistol! Oh damn!

Peggy is joined on the street by Jarvis. She tells him he's a bad liar. He says he and Howard respect her. She isn't interested. Jarvis isn't happy with Howard. Stan Lee borrows the sports section of the paper from him.

Sousa colors the photo of the woman to darken her hair.

Chief returns. He tells Thompson what the Nazi said. Thompson shows him a record of Howard on a plane. Chief says we got ourselves a conspiracy.

Peggy returns home and turns the radio on loud.

Dotty in 3F. Mink is under her bed. She's very happy to have his pistol.

Peggy pounds a hole in her wall to hide the vial.

Chief sees the typewriter activate.

Next ep - Peggy gets a mission to Russia. With the Howling Commandos.
