The prisoners are kept away from the factory floor, in tall cages that remind Steve of the monkey house at the Brooklyn zoo. There's only one guard on duty--Steve knocks him out with a single punch.
"Who are you supposed to be?" says one of the men from the cage below.
"Um, Captain America." He grabs the guard's keys and climbs down to start unlocking the doors, as another man says, "I beg your pardon?"
There are dozens of men still alive, largely unharmed. He unlocks every door, asking about Bucky--"I'm looking for a Sergeant James Barnes."
The news he gets is chilling: "There's an isolation ward in the factory but nobody's ever come back from it."
No time to dwell on it. He orders the men to meet him in the clearing outside the factory, and takes off to find Bucky.
One of the men calls after him, "Wait. You know what you're doing?"
"Yeah," Steve replies. "I've knocked out Adolf Hitler over two hundred times."
He takes off for the factory at a run, and can hear the men fighting their way out behind him. It's not long before the explosions and gunfire begin.
