"The
Iron Ceiling" is the fifth episode of the first season of the American
television series Agent Carter, inspired by the films Captain
America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier,
and the Marvel One-Shot short film also titled Agent Carter. It features
the Marvel Comics character Peggy Carter as she goes on a mission to infiltrate
a Leviathan military complex with the Howling Commandos, and is set in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise.
The episode was written by Jose Molina and directed by Peter Leto.
Hayley
Atwell reprises her role as Carter from the film series, and is joined by regular
cast members James D'Arcy, Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, and Shea Whigham.
Neal McDonough guest stars as Dum Dum Dugan, also reprising his role from the
films, the leader of the Howling Commandos. Though no other Howling Commandos
from the films appear, due to scheduling issues, the episode does introduce new
Commandos to the MCU based on existing comics characters. The episode also
introduces the origins of the Black Widow program, which plays a significant
part in several MCU films.

by 4.20 million viewers.
Sinopsis
In
1937 Russia, young girls are trained as merciless assassins to infiltrate
America. Each night they are hand cuffed to their beds, a practice that one
such girl, "Dottie Underwood", still carries out in 1946 as she lives
incognito as the new neighbor of Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) agent Peggy
Carter. Before Carter leaves for work one morning, Underwood manages to steal
the key to her apartment. At the SSR, a high level cryptographer is struggling
to decode a message received on a confiscated Russian typewriter with a
long-range transmitter. Carter uses her cryptography skills and knowledge of
Russian to decode the message herself, and finds map coordinates leading to a Soviet
military complex. The message suggests that at this complex Howard Stark, who
the SSR have been hunting, will be selling weapons to Leviathan, which Chief Roger
Dooley explains is a covert Russian organization. Dooley tasks Agents Thompson,
Ramirez, and Li to meet up with a tactical unit and infiltrate the complex to
cut off the exchange and arrest Stark for treason. Carter convinces Dooley to
allow her to go if she can get the 107th Regiment to assist as their tactical
unit, which she does, having fought with them as a friend during World War II.
As
they are preparing to leave, Thompson tricks Agent Sousa into walking in on
Carter as she is dressing, creating an awkward and embarrassing moment for them
both. Before he leaves her be, Sousa notices two bullet hole wounds on Carter's
shoulder. Thompson, Carter, Ramirez, and Li fly to the Russian border where
they meet up with several members of the 107th: Dum Dum Dugan, Happy Sam Sawyer,
Junior Juniper, and Pinky Pinkerton, a group that Juniper has nicknamed the
"Howling Commandos". On their way to the complex, Carter and Dugan
share some bourbon (from her private stash) and reminisce about their war days,
fighting alongside their friend (and Carter's great love) Steve Rogers, while
also noting that they are most likely headed into a trap. Later, the whole
group share war stories, and Carter convinces Thompson to tell them about how
he earned the Navy Cross – he had fallen asleep on watch in the Pacific during
the War, and had awoken to find Japanese soldiers filling the camp. He killed
them all before there were any American casualties, and before some of his
comrades had even woken up.
Infiltrating
the complex, the group finds the boarding school where Dottie was trained, and
discover supposed children's films filled with subliminal messaging. They come
across a lone young girl, who Dugan approaches. She at first seems innocent,
but reveals that Carter and Dugan were indeed correct about this being a trap
when she stabs Dugan in the chest and shoots Juniper dead, before escaping.
Looking to escape oncoming Leviathan soldiers, the surviving members of the
group carry on into the complex and come across a two prisoners: a brilliant
engineer who has been tasked with creating weapons from Leviathan based on
stolen Stark designs; and his psychiatrist, who attempts to keep him sane while
he does it. The group continues, taking the prisoners with them, but they are
all soon cornered by the soldiers, and Agent Li is killed in the firefight. The
engineer, Nikola, tries to negotiate with the survivors, putting Sawyer's life
on the line, so his psychiatrist, Dr. Ivchenko, kills him. Dugan blows a hole
in the wall for the group to escape through, and Carter holds the enemy off to
help the others escape when Thompson freezes up under fire. Back at the plane,
the SSR agents and Howling Commandos part ways. Ivchenko decides to go with the
agents back to America, willing to help them fight Leviathan in any way he can.
On the flight home, Thompson explains why he froze up: fighting now makes him
feel guilty because of what really happened in the War – the Japanese soldiers
had been carrying a white flag, but Thompson noticed this after he had already
killed them all. He buried the flag to hide what he had done, and his comrades
believed him to be a hero.
While
Carter is gone, Underwood searches her room and comes across photographs of the
Stark weapons that the SSR have confiscated. She takes one of the photographs
with her, otherwise leaving the room exactly as she found it. Dooley meets with
an old friend of his, a journalist who had investigated the Battle of Finow, as
Dooley is doing, and too had discovered that the Russian soldiers were
massacred before the Germans even arrived, and that Stark had been involved in
some sort of cover up. Dooley learns that Stark had gotten into a fight with a
General John McGuinness, but over what is unknown (Dooley approaches Stark's
butler Edwin Jarvis for answers, but Jarvis tells him nothing), and McGuinness
has recently died while Stark has broken ties with the military. Sousa
meanwhile searches through photographs of a woman who has been interfering with
the Stark investigation. Though her face is not captured, Sousa can see that
she has the same two bullet holes on her shoulder, and realizes that Carter is
most likely a traitor.
