Synopsis for "Time's Arrow (Part 2)"

In 1968, the White Soldier infiltrates Beijing, China, sent on a mission to assassinate Professro Zhang Chin discreetly, killing anyone who sees him.

In the present, Captain America and Black Widow are meeting with the latter's UN contact, Ollie, who is being transferred to Madripoor, not just because he brought an unregistered hero to the UN, but because the UN is afraid of what he may have shown Cap in their database. Widow assures Bucky that Nick Fury and Tony Stark erased all traces of the White Soldier from existence but believes that the UN doesn't want any Captain America to find out what they are hiding. They split up to do their own investigations into this. Bucky personally looks to his black market contact as to information regarding Batroc.

Elsewhere, Batroc is interrogating a man named Doctor Penfield, demanding to know where a certain UN facility is. Once Penfield caves, Batroc calls his employer, who is more interested in the new Captain America to catch on.

Meanwhile, Bucky locates the apartment of an ex-special forces soldier named Griffin and locates information regarding transportation of Batroc's target. Next day, he goes to intercept Batroc as a convoy carrying the unspecified item is moving. He engages Batroc in combat but then, out of nowhere, a shadowy figure appears, knocking him off the truck.

Flashing back to 1968, the White Soldier holds Chin at gunpoint. Chin recognizes the White Soldier as Bucky; Bucky is surprised, as he was mindwiped by the Soviets. Then out of nowhere, Chin's shadowy bodyguard appears to protect him.
