After going from country to country, Black Widow, now with a symbiote, finally found him to offer some help. Hawkeye reveals that he wasn't framed, he actually did kill the Russian Minister.

As the spiders morph back into pieces of the symbiote and return to her, she can now look into the man's memories. She sees Clint was in an explosion, but she won't believe it...
