"I used to have nothing."

"Where we buried her, there was a tree...

Um...

A pink blossom.

Beautiful.

And there was a tombstone
with her name engraved on it.

What was her name?

Ah.

"Unknown"."

"And then I got this."

"It's... about the time I met
someone.

I was sent to take her out.

And when I got there,

When it was time...

Um...

I couldn't do it.

I just had this feeling that
she wanted out.

Turns out I was right."

"This job."

"Who are you?"

"Natasha Romanoff."

"Are you here to kill me, Miss
Romanoff?"

"No. No. Of course not. I'm
here on behalf of SHIELD."

"SHIELD. How did they find
me?"

"We never lost you, Doctor.

We've kept our distance,

Even helped keep some other
interested parties off your scent."

"This family."

"Where you gonna go?"

"It's funny.

My whole life, I didn't
think I had any family.

Turns out I got two, so...

One of them's a bit of a mess
right now.

I'm gonna go break

A few of them out of prison

See if I can't help patch
things up."

"And I was... I was better because of it."

"I've got red in my ledger,

I'd like to wipe it out."

"Can you?

Can you wipe out that much red?"

"And even though... they're gone..."

"You shouldn't be here."

"Neither should you."

"I've got a job to do."

"Is that what you're calling this?

Killing all these people

Isn't gonna bring your family
back."

"Now, I'm still trying to be better."

"Let me go."

"No."

"It's okay."

"No."

"Clint where's Nat?"

"Whatever it takes."
