1
00:00:19,758 --> 00:00:23,128
? High and low I've traveled ?
2
00:00:23,162 --> 00:00:25,897
? Far and wide I'd go ?
3
00:00:25,931 --> 00:00:29,801
? From the desert tracks
to the mountainside ?
4
00:00:29,835 --> 00:00:33,004
? I'll bring you
this traveling show ?
5
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:37,141
<i>Big boy, this is little boy.</i>
6
00:00:37,175 --> 00:00:39,310
<i>How'd things go down
at the chicken coop?</i>
7
00:00:39,344 --> 00:00:42,113
Weigh-station inspector needs
to learn some adult words
8
00:00:42,147 --> 00:00:45,383
and a bit of hygiene,
but he waved us through.
9
00:00:45,417 --> 00:00:48,952
The cargo is secure.
Looks like a clean shot from here.
10
00:00:48,987 --> 00:00:51,989
<i>Roger that. Little girl will
take point on your front door.</i>
11
00:00:52,023 --> 00:00:54,625
See you at the drop
stop, Mack. I'm clear.
12
00:01:12,509 --> 00:01:13,743
Son of a bitch.
13
00:01:19,583 --> 00:01:21,115
- You see that?
- Little girl is down.
14
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:22,450
<i>Repeat, escort two is down.</i>
15
00:01:22,484 --> 00:01:24,653
I know, Sherlock.
What the hell hit us?
16
00:01:30,593 --> 00:01:34,563
We need to go to alt two, alt two.
17
00:01:34,597 --> 00:01:37,364
<i>Nothing over our shoulder.
Back door's clear.</i>
18
00:01:37,398 --> 00:01:39,466
<i>Protect the cargo at all costs.</i>
19
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,635
S.H.I.E.L.D. region CT,
this is Agent Mack.
20
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:44,872
We are under attack from
an unseen I-don't-know-what.
21
00:01:45,367 --> 00:01:47,914
<i>Agent Mack,
advise nature of threat, over.</i>
22
00:01:47,949 --> 00:01:49,843
What in the holy name of...
23
00:01:57,051 --> 00:02:00,153
S.H.I.E.L.D. region CT...
24
00:02:00,154 --> 00:02:03,255
oh, hell, I can't explain.
25
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:05,692
<i>Oh, no!</i>
26
00:02:45,663 --> 00:02:47,396
Are we there yet?
27
00:02:50,182 --> 00:02:53,300

28
00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:01,588
You know you're late.
29
00:03:01,626 --> 00:03:04,628
I'm tired from the morning's workout.
30
00:03:04,664 --> 00:03:07,866
I thought I was joining S.H.I.E.L.D.,
not 24 hour fitness.
31
00:03:07,901 --> 00:03:11,170
It's called relative strength training,
starting with the basics.
32
00:03:11,204 --> 00:03:15,539
And next time, you do 15 push-ups
for every minute you're late.
33
00:03:15,574 --> 00:03:18,642
Fine, Mr. Fun machine.
Better than pull-ups.
34
00:03:18,677 --> 00:03:21,478
I don't ever want to do
another pull-up again.
35
00:03:21,513 --> 00:03:24,481
You find yourself hanging off the
edge of a building 20 stories up,
36
00:03:24,516 --> 00:03:26,217
you're gonna want to do at least one.
37
00:03:27,617 --> 00:03:30,854
Stand here.
Jab cross, like this.
38
00:03:32,523 --> 00:03:35,491
10 minutes.
You know the hardest part about boxing?
39
00:03:35,526 --> 00:03:37,293
Getting punched in the face?
40
00:03:37,328 --> 00:03:40,530
- Keeping your hands up.
- Why do I even have to do this?
41
00:03:40,564 --> 00:03:42,532
I'm sure Fitz-Simmons'
supervising officer
42
00:03:42,566 --> 00:03:45,534
didn't make them do this
muscle stuff.
43
00:03:45,568 --> 00:03:50,405
You said you wanted to be
a field Agent, like Coulson.
44
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,407
Well, if you'd like to
switch disciplines...
45
00:03:52,442 --> 00:03:53,675
Hey, Simmons.
46
00:03:53,710 --> 00:03:56,178
What did your S.O. give
you guys for morning drills?
47
00:03:56,213 --> 00:03:57,579
Oh, atomistic attribute drills.
48
00:03:57,614 --> 00:04:01,082
<i>Yeah, we'd name the mechanical,
chemical, thermal...</i>
49
00:04:01,117 --> 00:04:04,719
- Electrical properties of materials.
- Okay, okay. They made your point.
50
00:04:04,754 --> 00:04:09,124
There will come a moment
when you have to commit to this or bail.
51
00:04:10,092 --> 00:04:13,228
Every field Agent has a defining moment.
Ask Coulson.
52
00:04:13,262 --> 00:04:15,596
When you have to make the hard call
53
00:04:15,631 --> 00:04:19,867
to either dedicate yourself to this
or to curl up in a ball and run.
54
00:04:19,901 --> 00:04:22,669
How can you run if you're
curled up in a ball?
55
00:04:22,703 --> 00:04:27,207
It's my job as your S.O. to make
sure you don't die before then.
56
00:04:27,208 --> 00:04:28,208
Come on.
57
00:04:29,043 --> 00:04:31,078
So what was yours, Agent Ward?
58
00:04:31,112 --> 00:04:33,880
- 10 minutes.
- Your defining moment?
59
00:04:36,616 --> 00:04:38,384
Come on, tell me. I want to know.
60
00:04:38,418 --> 00:04:41,553
I could get Coulson to give
you some of that truth serum.
61
00:04:41,588 --> 00:04:44,356
You could spill your little
heart out to me again.
62
00:04:44,391 --> 00:04:47,626
You mean my level one overshare
63
00:04:47,661 --> 00:04:51,529
that miraculously got you to cooperate?
64
00:04:51,563 --> 00:04:55,066
I hate to tell you this, rookie,
but we don't have a truth serum.
65
00:04:55,101 --> 00:04:58,203
<i>Changing course, briefing in three.</i>
66
00:04:58,237 --> 00:05:00,906
Ah, looks like we're on the move.
67
00:05:00,940 --> 00:05:03,408
<i>S.H.I.E.L.D. 616 with new orders.</i>
68
00:05:03,442 --> 00:05:06,977
Set for Colorado air field North.
69
00:05:09,085 --> 00:05:10,314
A few minutes ago, a S.H.I.E.L.D.
transport was attacked
70
00:05:10,348 --> 00:05:14,618
while carrying a priority red protected
asset off route 76 near Sterling.
71
00:05:14,652 --> 00:05:16,320
Priority red?
72
00:05:16,354 --> 00:05:19,223
The asset was Canadian
physicist Dr. Franklin Hall,
73
00:05:19,257 --> 00:05:20,457
known for his work...
74
00:05:20,491 --> 00:05:22,859
- Oh, no, not Frank.
- Dr. Hall?
75
00:05:22,893 --> 00:05:24,794
He was our chemical kinetics
adviser our second year.
76
00:05:24,829 --> 00:05:27,831
<i>Yeah, he's so enthusiastic about
science, we just adored him.</i>
77
00:05:27,865 --> 00:05:31,067
- We can rescue him, can't we?
- He's one of ours. We're gonna try.
78
00:05:31,101 --> 00:05:34,270
- And the attackers?
- Invisible.
79
00:05:34,305 --> 00:05:38,473
Wait, invisible?
Cool.
80
00:05:39,342 --> 00:05:42,311
But terrible.
81
00:05:42,345 --> 00:05:44,512
<i>Dr. Hall was an asset?</i>
82
00:05:44,547 --> 00:05:47,549
<i>One of a few select scientists
S.H.I.E.L.D. has been protecting,</i>
83
00:05:47,583 --> 00:05:49,818
<i>people our enemies would
love to get their hands on.</i>
84
00:05:49,853 --> 00:05:52,054
We keep them hidden,
keep them on the move.
85
00:05:52,088 --> 00:05:54,588
Which is why Fitz and I
were so lucky to have him.
86
00:05:54,622 --> 00:05:57,658
- We don't have him anymore.
- And what does priority red mean?
87
00:05:57,692 --> 00:06:01,929
It means security should have been...
heavy.
88
00:06:01,964 --> 00:06:06,600
It was pretty damn scary, and
I don't spook easily, boss.
89
00:06:06,634 --> 00:06:09,635
- Nothing in the air from above?
- Nothing over our shoulder,
90
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:13,974
<i>but what's scary is they knew our route.</i>
91
00:06:14,008 --> 00:06:15,541
They were waiting for us.
92
00:06:15,576 --> 00:06:18,211
Are you saying they were working
with somebody inside S.H.I.E.L.D.?
93
00:06:18,246 --> 00:06:22,349
Sorry to say... it had to be.
94
00:06:22,383 --> 00:06:27,086
- Fitz, what am I seeing here?
- Well, I'm not wearing
95
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,258
the full-spectrum goggles I
designed, so no clue.
96
00:06:33,659 --> 00:06:35,560
Let me have a look. Come on.
97
00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:37,963
No, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wait! Don't move.
98
00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:39,131
<i>Wait a second.</i>
99
00:06:41,767 --> 00:06:43,567
What the hell?
100
00:06:43,602 --> 00:06:48,873
I think the electro-static field
scanner activated some... thing.
101
00:06:51,966 --> 00:06:55,646
Okay, can we deactivate it? Now?
102
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,415
- Have to increase the density.
- I tried, Fitz, but...
103
00:06:58,449 --> 00:06:59,950
Fitz!
104
00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:03,586
Whoa.
105
00:07:11,429 --> 00:07:13,462
That did all this.
106
00:07:15,899 --> 00:07:17,066
What is that?
107
00:07:20,737 --> 00:07:22,204
Something big.
108
00:07:32,999 --> 00:07:35,101
Either someone cracked our comm system,
109
00:07:35,135 --> 00:07:38,071
or Dr. Hall's movements
leaked from inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
110
00:07:38,105 --> 00:07:39,505
You really think we have a mole?
111
00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:42,308
I think you should go through the
communication logs, rule it out.
112
00:07:42,342 --> 00:07:44,743
We'll work the tractor tread
that we found on the scene.
113
00:07:44,778 --> 00:07:47,915
I can do that instead of pull-ups.
I can upload an image of
114
00:07:47,950 --> 00:07:49,947
the tread pattern, check to
see if there's any sort of...
115
00:07:49,982 --> 00:07:53,118
Already done.
Matched it to a 2010 model.
116
00:07:53,152 --> 00:07:55,487
Found a list of purchasers
within a 500-mile radius,
117
00:07:55,521 --> 00:07:57,789
<i>narrowed down to those with
priors, financial troubles,</i>
118
00:07:57,823 --> 00:07:59,124
<i>or propensity for risk-taking.</i>
119
00:07:59,158 --> 00:08:00,758
Three suspects.
120
00:08:00,793 --> 00:08:02,593
<i>Who may have sold
their construction equipment</i>
121
00:08:02,627 --> 00:08:04,628
to the kidnappers.
We'll ask.
122
00:08:07,132 --> 00:08:08,899
Hey, so, Ward said a funny thing.
123
00:08:08,933 --> 00:08:11,802
He said that you guys
don't have a truth serum.
124
00:08:11,836 --> 00:08:15,172
- Did he? Ward said that?
- Yeah.
125
00:08:15,207 --> 00:08:17,773
- Interesting.
- Yeah.
126
00:08:17,808 --> 00:08:20,510
Hey, wait... hey.
127
00:08:20,844 --> 00:08:23,813
Do you want me to bench press this?
128
00:08:23,847 --> 00:08:27,417
Read it.
Every communication out of HQ
129
00:08:27,451 --> 00:08:30,686
since they decided to transfer Dr. Hall.
130
00:08:30,721 --> 00:08:34,090
Hang in there, Doc.
It's gonna be a while.
131
00:08:42,285 --> 00:08:46,168
- Excuse me.
- Who the hell are you?
132
00:08:46,202 --> 00:08:49,471
A concerned citizen who
happens to be a member
133
00:08:49,506 --> 00:08:53,008
of a giant bureaucratic organization
that's tracking your every move.
134
00:08:53,042 --> 00:08:56,044
- I haven't done anything wrong.
- Of course not,
135
00:08:56,078 --> 00:08:58,713
but you sold your excavator
to some people who did.
136
00:08:58,748 --> 00:09:01,282
And you're hiding out
here until things cool down
137
00:09:01,316 --> 00:09:03,051
because you know it.
138
00:09:03,085 --> 00:09:05,253
I just want to know who paid you.
139
00:09:07,656 --> 00:09:09,923
Paid me enough not to answer
any questions like that.
140
00:09:14,732 --> 00:09:18,365
- Feels like the old west.
- They gave me money for my equipment.
141
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:21,901
That's all. I never saw a face.
I never heard a name.
142
00:09:21,935 --> 00:09:26,139
- And how did you receive this money?
- They write you a check?
143
00:09:33,047 --> 00:09:39,250
Paid you in gold?
Now it really feels like the old west.
144
00:09:39,285 --> 00:09:42,154
<i>It looks like this
because it's a dor? bar.</i>
145
00:09:42,188 --> 00:09:45,924
It means it was made at the
mine rather than in a refinery.
146
00:09:45,958 --> 00:09:49,260
It's only about 92% pure.
The cowboy got cheated a bit.
147
00:09:49,295 --> 00:09:51,529
Can you determine the mine
based on the impurities?
148
00:09:51,564 --> 00:09:53,631
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've done that already.
149
00:09:53,666 --> 00:09:57,334
It's from the Dacey mine in Tanzania,
150
00:09:57,368 --> 00:10:00,337
- which is owned by...
- Quinn Worldwide.
151
00:10:00,371 --> 00:10:04,308
I'm sure you studied the C.E.O.
in your chemical engineering classes
152
00:10:04,342 --> 00:10:09,879
or saw him on the cover
of Forbes... Ian Quinn.
153
00:10:11,949 --> 00:10:14,951
<i>We can't just pluck it from
the ground like a potato.</i>
154
00:10:14,985 --> 00:10:17,887
<i>It needs to be extracted
from the ore and enriched.</i>
155
00:10:17,922 --> 00:10:19,055
<i>I know.</i>
156
00:10:19,090 --> 00:10:22,491
<i>You know, tell him this investment
paid for that ridiculous yacht of his</i>
157
00:10:22,526 --> 00:10:25,861
and that he'll thank me at
the shareholders meeting.
158
00:10:28,932 --> 00:10:32,367
- Why is he tied up?
- Quinn.
159
00:10:32,401 --> 00:10:36,071
Does he look like a threat?
160
00:10:38,031 --> 00:10:40,191
<i>I'm sorry about these guys.</i>
161
00:10:46,514 --> 00:10:48,816
Welcome to Malta, Frank.
162
00:10:50,085 --> 00:10:53,121
You know, it's one thing to steal
my ideas, Ian, but stealing me?
163
00:10:53,155 --> 00:10:55,257
First of all, I never stole your ideas.
164
00:10:55,291 --> 00:10:57,759
We've always agreed
information should be free.
165
00:10:57,793 --> 00:11:00,561
It's amazing how much money
you made off free information.
166
00:11:00,595 --> 00:11:02,796
Secondly, think of this
as a rescue mission, Frank.
167
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:05,666
In fact, in a moment, I
think you'll be thanking me.
168
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,970
My staff intercepted a communication
about the movement of a certain asset,
169
00:11:10,004 --> 00:11:12,722
and when I deduced that asset was you,
170
00:11:12,723 --> 00:11:15,441
I couldn't pass up on the opportunity.
171
00:11:15,476 --> 00:11:18,444
It's a little out of
my comfort zone, sure.
172
00:11:19,456 --> 00:11:22,649
Malta.
You're not stupid.
173
00:11:22,683 --> 00:11:26,519
- S.H.I.E.L.D. can't come after you here.
- Not just S.H.I.E.L.D.
174
00:11:26,553 --> 00:11:29,722
I am now a naturalized
citizen of this fair country.
175
00:11:29,757 --> 00:11:32,123
Stunning beaches, beautiful tax laws,
176
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:33,659
and a deep-seated hatred
177
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,327
of outside forces
telling them what to do.
178
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:36,795
Sounds like your dating profile.
179
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:38,897
Right.
180
00:11:38,931 --> 00:11:40,198
I moved my entire operation down here.
181
00:11:40,232 --> 00:11:43,435
Bought the old prime minister's estate.
It's not really my style,
182
00:11:43,469 --> 00:11:46,804
<i>but it had this huge underground
facility, so I figured, hey.</i>
183
00:11:46,838 --> 00:11:50,091
Always been a stubborn
bastard. Now you've finally
184
00:11:50,092 --> 00:11:53,344
found a place where the
watchdogs can't touch you.
185
00:11:53,378 --> 00:11:57,281
Not without breaking international law.
186
00:11:57,316 --> 00:11:58,316
Ahh.
187
00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:02,686
But more importantly, old friend,
they can't touch you.
188
00:12:07,692 --> 00:12:10,660
Recognize the design?
189
00:12:12,730 --> 00:12:15,799
We were barely old enough to drink
when you sketched the blueprint.
190
00:12:15,833 --> 00:12:18,467
That's just a miniature prototype.
191
00:12:18,501 --> 00:12:22,705
A theoretical machine powered
by a theoretical substance.
192
00:12:22,739 --> 00:12:26,742
Frank, you were right.
193
00:12:26,776 --> 00:12:30,813
- You found it?
- Gravitonium.
194
00:12:30,847 --> 00:12:33,315
It's an extremely rare
high-atomic numbered element.
195
00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:36,116
<i>That powers the device.
It's so extremely rare</i>
196
00:12:36,151 --> 00:12:37,852
<i>that most people didn't
believe it existed,</i>
197
00:12:37,886 --> 00:12:40,187
<i>much less the theory that an
isolated positive charge...</i>
198
00:12:40,222 --> 00:12:44,091
- Would turn the flow from isotropic...
- Guys, high-school dropout here.
199
00:12:44,125 --> 00:12:46,494
<i>How does the device work again?</i>
200
00:12:46,528 --> 00:12:50,197
Well, Gravitonium distorts
gravity fields within itself,
201
00:12:50,232 --> 00:12:53,400
causing an undulating,
amorphous shape.
202
00:12:53,434 --> 00:12:56,770
Which causes these, um...
wiggly bits here,
203
00:12:56,804 --> 00:13:00,807
but when an electric current is applied,
204
00:13:00,842 --> 00:13:07,880
the Gravitonium solidifies.
And those gravity fields erupt,
205
00:13:07,914 --> 00:13:10,082
<i>randomly changing the
rules of gravity around it.</i>
206
00:13:10,116 --> 00:13:12,551
Well, so, now you can imagine
what would happen to a big rig
207
00:13:12,586 --> 00:13:14,152
at 100 kilometers per hour.
208
00:13:14,187 --> 00:13:18,156
Or, uh, well, you could just remember,
'cause we saw it already, didn't we?
209
00:13:18,191 --> 00:13:21,159
Yeah, and guess which
genius published every theory
210
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,128
about Gravitonium and possible
applications... years go?
211
00:13:24,162 --> 00:13:26,130
- Dr. Franklin Hall.
- Correct.
212
00:13:26,164 --> 00:13:28,867
And Dr. Hall attended the
University of Cambridge
213
00:13:28,901 --> 00:13:30,735
at the same time as Ian Quinn.
214
00:13:30,770 --> 00:13:34,372
Coulson may be off on this.
Quinn is a notoriously good guy.
215
00:13:34,407 --> 00:13:37,174
His charity endowment's
something like $8 billion.
216
00:13:37,209 --> 00:13:40,911
Yes, with money made from leeching
the earth of its resources.
217
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:42,813
Looks like he's dug up another.
218
00:13:42,847 --> 00:13:48,585
20 years, 12 mines, 6 continents,
but, yes, I finally found it.
219
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:52,155
And now
we get to play with it.
220
00:13:53,425 --> 00:13:57,593
Do you remember in all
our talks on Orchard Street
221
00:13:57,628 --> 00:14:01,130
the part where it's
very, very dangerous?
222
00:14:01,164 --> 00:14:03,132
Everything powerful is dangerous.
223
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:06,769
But I'm not gonna convince
you with more talk...
224
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:11,840
talk of 50% shares, talk of
Nobel prizes. No, not you.
225
00:14:11,874 --> 00:14:15,811
You... will just have to see it.
226
00:14:19,515 --> 00:14:22,317
<i>I built a full-size generator,</i>
227
00:14:22,351 --> 00:14:26,487
but I need you to tell me how
to control the gravity fields.
228
00:14:26,521 --> 00:14:29,089
You can complete your life's work.
229
00:14:29,123 --> 00:14:33,160
I plan to do this with or without you,
but I know you.
230
00:14:33,194 --> 00:14:35,663
I know you'd want it done right.
231
00:14:39,501 --> 00:14:41,134
Now's the moment when you thank me.
232
00:14:41,169 --> 00:14:44,203
<i>The man's a prisoner,
and it's up to us to get him out.</i>
233
00:14:44,237 --> 00:14:47,373
<i>We've checked the specs.
There's no way into Quinn's compound</i>
234
00:14:47,407 --> 00:14:50,642
<i>without a large S.H.I.E.L.D.
strike force or a man inside.</i>
235
00:14:50,677 --> 00:14:52,611
He's got neodymium laser
fencing surrounding the property.
236
00:14:52,645 --> 00:14:54,580
They'll never allow a
strike force into Malta.
237
00:14:54,614 --> 00:14:55,914
Plus, this weekend,
238
00:14:55,949 --> 00:14:58,216
<i>Quinn worldwide's got its
annual shareholders gathering.</i>
239
00:14:58,250 --> 00:15:01,954
- We're risk global outrage, but...
- If we go in alone...
240
00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:03,522
S.H.I.E.L.D. can disavow
us, claim ignorance.
241
00:15:03,556 --> 00:15:05,957
<i>Without a man inside, it's impossible,</i>
242
00:15:05,991 --> 00:15:08,192
unless you're immune to
pulse laser emissions.
243
00:15:08,226 --> 00:15:11,362
- If we had a monkey, we could get in.
- Ugh, Fitz!
244
00:15:11,396 --> 00:15:13,664
If we had a small monkey,
he could slip through the sensors
245
00:15:13,699 --> 00:15:16,567
and disable the fence's power source
with his adorable little hands.
246
00:15:16,602 --> 00:15:19,504
- I could go in.
- Drop me in the hills outside of Valletta.
247
00:15:19,538 --> 00:15:22,238
I'll spend a few weeks establishing
a cover, gathering intel...
248
00:15:22,272 --> 00:15:23,406
Hall doesn't have a few weeks.
249
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,875
And to restate, any
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
250
00:15:24,909 --> 00:15:26,910
caught on Maltese soil can be
shot to death with bullets...
251
00:15:26,944 --> 00:15:27,986
- Yeah.
- Legally.
252
00:15:28,021 --> 00:15:31,882
- Not me. I could go in.
- Skye, this is serious.
253
00:15:31,916 --> 00:15:34,484
Wait.
What are you saying?
254
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:36,920
<i>Well, I'm not an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.,</i>
255
00:15:36,954 --> 00:15:39,354
so I can go in without
breaking all these stupid rules.
256
00:15:39,389 --> 00:15:40,689
International laws.
257
00:15:40,724 --> 00:15:42,758
This isn't something the
Rising Tide can hack, Skye.
258
00:15:42,792 --> 00:15:45,494
Did you hear the deadly lasers part?
Without a brave monkey...
259
00:15:45,529 --> 00:15:47,362
You said you could go
in with a man inside.
260
00:15:47,397 --> 00:15:48,564
And you want to be that man?
261
00:15:48,598 --> 00:15:51,333
Fitz-Simmons loved the
guy, and he needs help.
262
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:55,603
They could be torturing him, or
worse, making him do strength-training.
263
00:15:55,638 --> 00:15:58,172
But you don't have the
background or clearance
264
00:15:58,206 --> 00:16:01,275
or experience with any of this.
265
00:16:01,276 --> 00:16:04,345
I know. But I've got an invitation.
266
00:16:06,814 --> 00:16:09,683
Well, technically, it's an e-vite.
267
00:16:17,524 --> 00:16:21,460
I understand your concern, but
we don't have a lot of options.
268
00:16:21,494 --> 00:16:22,795
Hey, I'm impressed.
269
00:16:22,829 --> 00:16:25,296
She just wrangled an
invitation on her phone
270
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:27,865
using insider back-channel
voodoo in minutes.
271
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:31,368
<i>But sending her in with no training,
you're taking a huge risk.</i>
272
00:16:31,403 --> 00:16:35,039
I know Director Fury felt he owed you
after you sacrificed yourself.
273
00:16:35,073 --> 00:16:36,340
And my card collection.
274
00:16:36,374 --> 00:16:40,009
He gave you some autonomy,
but Skye on a covert op?
275
00:16:40,044 --> 00:16:41,945
Are you worried about
her safety or her loyalty?
276
00:16:41,979 --> 00:16:45,148
Both. The Rising Tide is
the reason she got an invite.
277
00:16:45,182 --> 00:16:47,050
Who knows how many
protocols she violated?
278
00:16:47,084 --> 00:16:49,185
That's her job... ignore protocol,
279
00:16:49,219 --> 00:16:51,655
find connections and back
doors that nobody else can see.
280
00:16:51,689 --> 00:16:54,324
<i>Something else is bothering you.</i>
281
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:58,327
She's holding back, sir.
282
00:16:58,361 --> 00:17:01,464
She says she wants to be an
Agent, but she won't commit.
283
00:17:01,498 --> 00:17:04,700
- She doesn't listen, makes jokes.
- Were you hard on her?
284
00:17:04,734 --> 00:17:07,436
Sure.
I tried playing nice, too.
285
00:17:07,471 --> 00:17:09,004
I need a new strategy.
286
00:17:10,038 --> 00:17:12,807
Try no strategy.
287
00:17:12,842 --> 00:17:15,777
Stop thinking like an operative,
start thinking like a person.
288
00:17:15,811 --> 00:17:17,846
Maybe Skye will let
that person help her.
289
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,416
- Help her what?
- Help her think like an operative.
290
00:17:23,751 --> 00:17:28,154
Now, again, slowly, what's first?
291
00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:31,892
- And then?
- Then things are moving too quickly.
292
00:17:31,926 --> 00:17:33,460
I'm a proper southern girl.
293
00:17:33,495 --> 00:17:35,662
You'll make me untidy.
294
00:17:35,697 --> 00:17:38,198
<i>Twist the thumb, palm the barrel.</i>
295
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,636
You're gonna die and leave us
hanging out to dry, you know that?
296
00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:45,605
- You're going in with no self-defense skills...
- I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
297
00:17:45,639 --> 00:17:49,509
You need muscle memory, fundamentals,
the tools to turn yourself...
298
00:17:49,543 --> 00:17:52,344
- Into a whole bag of tools?
- How did you learn computer science
299
00:17:52,379 --> 00:17:53,946
without committing yourself to it?
300
00:17:53,981 --> 00:17:55,214
C.S. comes naturally to me.
301
00:17:55,248 --> 00:17:57,216
I'm sorry I'm not
naturally whatever you are.
302
00:17:57,250 --> 00:17:59,684
You think this came naturally?
303
00:17:59,719 --> 00:18:02,888
I had a brother who beat
the crap out of me...
304
00:18:02,922 --> 00:18:05,757
me and my little
brother... for nothing,
305
00:18:05,791 --> 00:18:08,627
for eating a piece of his birthday cake.
306
00:18:08,661 --> 00:18:11,630
I had to learn to protect us
307
00:18:11,664 --> 00:18:15,533
the way I am trying to protect you.
308
00:18:15,567 --> 00:18:21,271
That was my moment.
You asked.
309
00:18:21,305 --> 00:18:26,577
Sorry.
I didn't mean to push.
310
00:18:28,013 --> 00:18:31,581
But I did manage to take this.
311
00:18:31,615 --> 00:18:35,184
Getting the gun is one thing.
312
00:18:35,218 --> 00:18:39,756
Pulling the trigger... that is another.
313
00:18:39,790 --> 00:18:43,059
Now, again, slowly, what's first?
314
00:18:43,093 --> 00:18:45,675
<i>Skye will walk in the front door.</i>
315
00:18:45,710 --> 00:18:47,920
The only external
access point to Quinn's
316
00:18:47,921 --> 00:18:50,131
underground facility
is from a beach cove.
317
00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:53,501
<i>A two-man extraction team could
slip in there, but it's not easy.</i>
318
00:18:53,536 --> 00:18:56,538
- Fitz-Simmons.
- The perimeter is surrounded
319
00:18:56,573 --> 00:18:59,207
by a 20-foot-high
neodymium laser grid.
320
00:18:59,241 --> 00:19:02,143
- Touch it and you're toast.
- Dead toast.
321
00:19:02,178 --> 00:19:04,111
The only way to disable the grid
322
00:19:04,145 --> 00:19:06,681
is to crack the system
and trigger a reboot.
323
00:19:06,715 --> 00:19:08,783
This would give the team
three seconds to cross.
324
00:19:08,817 --> 00:19:11,235
<i>Of course, Quinn's too smart
to allow any wireless</i>
325
00:19:11,236 --> 00:19:13,621
- access on his property.
- That's where I come in.
326
00:19:13,655 --> 00:19:16,090
Yes, working compact
...holds up under x-ray.
327
00:19:16,124 --> 00:19:19,426
Desert rose to match your complexion.
But... oh, what's this?
328
00:19:19,461 --> 00:19:23,348
A readout, okay? Turns
green if you're in close
329
00:19:23,383 --> 00:19:25,799
enough proximity to a computer
to gain wireless access.
330
00:19:25,833 --> 00:19:28,034
When it does,
you just drop this nearby and walk out.
331
00:19:28,069 --> 00:19:30,436
We'll do the rest. Easy as pie.
332
00:19:30,471 --> 00:19:33,139
Or it will be
if you stick to the plan.
333
00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:34,440
<i>Got it.</i>
334
00:19:34,475 --> 00:19:38,410
Plan, green, drop, walk... pie.
335
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:41,947
I don't want to question
your orders, sir.
336
00:19:41,982 --> 00:19:43,248
Good.
337
00:19:43,282 --> 00:19:47,755
But I've already seen far more
combat than I bargained for.
338
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:49,321
This two-man extraction team?
339
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:51,856
It's exactly the kind of
action I was hoping to avoid.
340
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:53,457
That's why you're not on it.
341
00:19:53,492 --> 00:19:56,527
Specialist work is different
from field work, believe me.
342
00:19:56,561 --> 00:20:00,131
- When was the last time you...
- Hall's one of ours, and he's in trouble.
343
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:04,168
I need two men to get him out.
Ward makes one.
344
00:20:07,772 --> 00:20:10,107
So that's why I'm going in.
345
00:20:10,141 --> 00:20:14,044
You forget... I saw plenty
of action with the Avengers.
346
00:20:15,469 --> 00:20:18,999
- And you died.
- All right, team, suit up.
347
00:20:44,007 --> 00:20:45,816
Thank you.
348
00:20:51,681 --> 00:20:53,214
<i>Hors d'oeuvre, madame?</i>
349
00:20:53,248 --> 00:20:54,348
Mmm.
350
00:20:54,383 --> 00:20:55,949
<i>Who are you?</i>
351
00:20:55,984 --> 00:20:59,286
Oh, apologies for his manners.
He knows very little English.
352
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,255
Oh, that, uh, that's...
what... whatever.
353
00:21:02,290 --> 00:21:03,256
Skye.
354
00:21:04,291 --> 00:21:06,959
- Qasim Zaghlul.
- Big fan.
355
00:21:06,994 --> 00:21:09,862
You built half of Dubai,
including the Arabian blade.
356
00:21:09,897 --> 00:21:12,599
I love that building.
It's super sci-fi.
357
00:21:12,633 --> 00:21:14,033
Where's your wife...
358
00:21:14,068 --> 00:21:16,436
- Wife's name's Nadrah.
- ...Nadrah?
359
00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:17,737
<i>Twin sons.</i>
360
00:21:17,771 --> 00:21:19,438
She staying at home with the boys?
361
00:21:19,472 --> 00:21:20,906
How's she doing?
362
00:21:20,940 --> 00:21:21,907
<i>She's good.</i>
363
00:21:21,941 --> 00:21:23,942
The pleasure is mine.
364
00:21:23,976 --> 00:21:28,198
I could get used to this, people.
It's like siri if it worked.
365
00:21:28,233 --> 00:21:30,249
<i>Really, the best thing
about your deal is...</i>
366
00:21:30,283 --> 00:21:32,718
Skipper to Bravo.
I got eyes on top dog.
367
00:21:32,752 --> 00:21:34,652
The Eagle is landing on it.
368
00:21:34,687 --> 00:21:38,723
- What are you doing?
- Uh, sorry, I... I don't know.
369
00:21:38,757 --> 00:21:40,925
I see Quinn.
I'm gonna go talk to him.
370
00:21:42,461 --> 00:21:45,062
<i>I mean, that and its effect
on the industrial average.</i>
371
00:21:45,097 --> 00:21:46,698
<i>That was good.</i>
372
00:21:49,335 --> 00:21:50,900
Ian Quinn.
I'm your last-minute party crasher.
373
00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:55,639
- Skye.
- Oh. Wow.
374
00:21:55,673 --> 00:21:57,841
Great to meet you.
375
00:21:57,875 --> 00:21:59,909
Um, this is Skye, a
member of the Rising Tide.
376
00:21:59,944 --> 00:22:01,811
<i>They're a group of hackers.</i>
377
00:22:01,846 --> 00:22:03,847
I've gotten some pretty big
secrets out to the public.
378
00:22:03,881 --> 00:22:06,849
I prefer "hacktivist."
I'm glad you've heard of our site.
379
00:22:06,883 --> 00:22:09,918
I read it. We think very much alike...
more freedom of information,
380
00:22:09,953 --> 00:22:11,787
less government infringing
on everyone's rights...
381
00:22:11,821 --> 00:22:13,522
- I'm a fan.
- That explains the invite.
382
00:22:13,557 --> 00:22:16,024
This is a tough party to get into.
383
00:22:16,059 --> 00:22:18,494
Not as hard to get into as
the encrypted back channel
384
00:22:18,528 --> 00:22:20,696
you contacted us through
to request the invite.
385
00:22:20,731 --> 00:22:23,100
That's sort of where I live.
386
00:22:23,135 --> 00:22:24,666
You've got to show me
how you did that...
387
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:29,003
- I mean, if you sign on.
- Sign what, now?
388
00:22:29,037 --> 00:22:32,720
I've been known to turn a few
black hats into white hats,
389
00:22:32,755 --> 00:22:35,543
not just for vulnerability analysis,
but for very creative thinking.
390
00:22:35,578 --> 00:22:38,312
A-are you offering me a job?
391
00:22:38,346 --> 00:22:40,314
Well, I didn't invite you
here for your pretty face.
392
00:22:40,348 --> 00:22:42,849
I didn't know you had a pretty face.
393
00:22:42,884 --> 00:22:46,420
Yes, I want to hire you before
someone else snatches you up.
394
00:22:46,454 --> 00:22:48,355
<i>That seemed to go well.</i>
395
00:22:48,390 --> 00:22:51,792
Yeah. It did.
396
00:22:52,826 --> 00:22:57,297
<i>Many of you shareholders
have been with us for years,</i>
397
00:22:57,331 --> 00:22:59,198
<i>and I see a few new names here,</i>
398
00:22:59,232 --> 00:23:02,067
<i>but I want to thank you
all for traveling so far</i>
399
00:23:02,102 --> 00:23:03,736
<i>to this beautiful country</i>
400
00:23:03,771 --> 00:23:06,839
<i>and, well, for slumming
it at Shaba Tal-Banar.</i>
401
00:23:08,008 --> 00:23:10,810
<i>This country where we are allowed</i>
402
00:23:10,844 --> 00:23:13,112
<i>to pursue progress and profit</i>
403
00:23:13,146 --> 00:23:16,348
<i>without the stranglehold of regulations</i>
404
00:23:16,382 --> 00:23:18,784
<i>that are now choking our world.</i>
405
00:23:18,819 --> 00:23:22,721
<i>The United States government,
the R.U., the DRTC,</i>
406
00:23:22,755 --> 00:23:25,657
<i>S.H.I.E.L.D...
these are just a few of the institutions</i>
407
00:23:25,692 --> 00:23:29,160
<i>that are guilty of halting the
development of new technology</i>
408
00:23:29,195 --> 00:23:32,163
<i>for anyone...
except themselves.</i>
409
00:23:32,198 --> 00:23:34,933
<i>We dare defy them with a new idea,</i>
410
00:23:34,967 --> 00:23:38,436
<i>they steal in and sweep
it out from under us.</i>
411
00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:40,271
<i>But not today.</i>
412
00:23:40,306 --> 00:23:42,940
<i>You're all aware of what Quinn
worldwide has been able to do</i>
413
00:23:42,974 --> 00:23:46,609
<i>with basic minerals, let
alone uranium or plutonium,</i>
414
00:23:46,644 --> 00:23:49,146
<i>despite these unjust restrictions</i>
415
00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:52,515
<i>that weigh the scales
in the other guy's favor.</i>
416
00:23:52,550 --> 00:23:55,719
<i>Well, today, I'm
announcing something new...</i>
417
00:23:55,753 --> 00:23:58,855
<i>an element that could
balance those scales,</i>
418
00:23:58,889 --> 00:24:01,090
<i>and I mean that quite literally.</i>
419
00:24:01,724 --> 00:24:04,060
<i>Imagine if you could control gravity,</i>
420
00:24:04,094 --> 00:24:08,231
<i>if instead of drilling for
oil, it rose up to greet you.</i>
421
00:24:08,265 --> 00:24:11,100
<i>Imagine if you could move a
super tanker's worth of cargo</i>
422
00:24:11,134 --> 00:24:12,468
<i>with a swipe of your hand.</i>
423
00:24:12,502 --> 00:24:16,333
<i>Well, we will do this and more.</i>
424
00:24:16,368 --> 00:24:18,473
<i>This could have been a
traumatic experience for Dr. Hall.</i>
425
00:24:18,507 --> 00:24:22,010
He may not be the same when we
find him, Ward. I'll talk him down.
426
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:24,379
We don't want your
personality to set him on edge.
427
00:24:24,413 --> 00:24:25,914
Great time for humor, sir.
428
00:24:25,948 --> 00:24:29,751
My people skills are the least of
our problems if Skye can't get us in.
429
00:24:38,694 --> 00:24:42,229
- It's locked, but there's no lock.
- Eh, check for a keypad.
430
00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:47,635
Nothing.
What, you can hack a keypad?
431
00:24:47,669 --> 00:24:50,905
- No, not over the phone.
- Is there a reception desk?
432
00:24:50,939 --> 00:24:53,740
Okay, yeah.
433
00:24:54,775 --> 00:24:57,344
Well, now what do I do?
434
00:24:57,379 --> 00:25:01,815
<i>What are you trying to do?</i>
435
00:25:01,849 --> 00:25:06,286
Just looking for a pen.
Here we go.
436
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,322
Got to write down all those
good ideas, you know what I mean?
437
00:25:09,356 --> 00:25:11,157
Of course you know what I mean.
438
00:25:11,191 --> 00:25:13,692
Probably have like
10 pens for all your ideas.
439
00:25:13,727 --> 00:25:16,296
What are you really doing?
440
00:25:19,065 --> 00:25:21,785
All right.
I'm busted.
441
00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:24,169
<i>I was trying to get a glimpse
behind your office doors,</i>
442
00:25:24,203 --> 00:25:25,370
see how things really operate.
443
00:25:25,405 --> 00:25:27,205
I invite you here as a guest,
444
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,841
you treat me like another
corrupt institution,
445
00:25:29,875 --> 00:25:32,377
looking for trade
secrets to leak online.
446
00:25:32,412 --> 00:25:34,521
- Security.
- No, no, no, wait.
447
00:25:34,556 --> 00:25:36,814
It's just, with all
these la-di-da people,
448
00:25:36,848 --> 00:25:40,318
you have to be so guarded,
so careful...
449
00:25:40,352 --> 00:25:46,057
<i>What you say, what secrets you reveal.</i>
450
00:25:46,091 --> 00:25:52,095
And...
I was hoping that you and I...
451
00:25:52,129 --> 00:25:54,354
could be honest with one another.
452
00:25:56,033 --> 00:25:59,150
If you know what I mean.
453
00:26:07,180 --> 00:26:10,180
<i>Wow, that's a less space, more wheels.</i>
454
00:26:10,281 --> 00:26:15,050
<i>- Wow, a view of the ocean and the pool.
- Not a bad place to do business.</i>
455
00:26:15,285 --> 00:26:18,220
Got the dispatch leaking Hall's
location. User's an alias.
456
00:26:18,255 --> 00:26:20,122
Oh, can you trace the DHCP server...
457
00:26:20,157 --> 00:26:22,257
Trace is running, but
it'll take time. Our girl?
458
00:26:22,292 --> 00:26:24,660
I thought she was done for,
but she's just sweet-talked
459
00:26:24,661 --> 00:26:27,162
- her way into Quinn's office.
- How'd she manage that?
460
00:26:27,197 --> 00:26:29,631
- Pbht!
- She probably just used her, um...
461
00:26:29,666 --> 00:26:34,197
uh... uh...
her, uh... ah, boobs.
462
00:26:34,404 --> 00:26:36,822
Ugh. That's the only explana...
463
00:26:36,823 --> 00:26:39,240
<i>Oh my gosh. It seems it goes...</i>
464
00:26:39,274 --> 00:26:40,675
Dead!
Fitz!
465
00:26:40,709 --> 00:26:44,745
- What... I didn't. She must've...
- Oh, lord.
466
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:50,384
<i>Much better.</i>
467
00:26:50,419 --> 00:26:52,453
Haven't felt that "someone's
watching my every move" feeling
468
00:26:52,487 --> 00:26:54,154
since I failed my driver's test.
469
00:26:54,189 --> 00:26:56,489
You want to tell me
what the hell's going on?
470
00:26:56,524 --> 00:26:59,292
- S.H.I.E.L.D. got to you?
- They picked me up in L.A.,
471
00:26:59,327 --> 00:27:02,930
I helped them in a crisis,
and now they want to recruit me.
472
00:27:02,964 --> 00:27:04,397
Of course they did.
473
00:27:04,432 --> 00:27:07,500
So I played along.
Talk about inside info...
474
00:27:07,535 --> 00:27:11,270
I have a bunk on their plane.
I've been gathering intel,
475
00:27:11,304 --> 00:27:14,107
biding my time until
I could become useful.
476
00:27:14,141 --> 00:27:15,942
I thought this qualified.
477
00:27:15,976 --> 00:27:19,278
Why would they trust you with
a covert operation like this?
478
00:27:19,312 --> 00:27:22,215
Something about S.H.I.E.L.D.
not breaking international laws.
479
00:27:22,249 --> 00:27:25,971
They had no other options, whereas
480
00:27:25,972 --> 00:27:28,453
I like to keep mine open.
481
00:27:41,767 --> 00:27:43,134
Next patrol any minute now.
482
00:27:43,168 --> 00:27:46,803
<i>Skye's offline.
Repeat, we've lost audio and vitals.</i>
483
00:27:46,837 --> 00:27:49,205
Abort is not an option, but
if she's compromising...
484
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,207
She's still our only way
in to get to Dr. Hall.
485
00:27:51,242 --> 00:27:52,542
And we're their only way out.
486
00:27:52,577 --> 00:27:57,347
<i>Beach is all clear.
Let's move up the ridge.</i>
487
00:27:57,382 --> 00:28:00,751
You're saying they wanted to rope me
in because I pose a genuine threat.
488
00:28:00,785 --> 00:28:03,952
- Yes, and fit their profile.
- Profile.
489
00:28:03,987 --> 00:28:07,256
Sure. You're a criminal.
You have a warrant somewhere.
490
00:28:07,291 --> 00:28:09,425
- Probably.
- Specialized skill set.
491
00:28:09,459 --> 00:28:13,496
- I try to stay humble but fail.
- No family.
492
00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:19,801
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to hit a nerve,
493
00:28:19,835 --> 00:28:22,103
but that is what these people do.
494
00:28:22,137 --> 00:28:24,406
S.H.I.E.L.D... they prey on fear
495
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,743
<i>and loneliness and desperation,
and then they offer a home</i>
496
00:28:28,778 --> 00:28:31,713
to those who have no
one else to turn to.
497
00:28:31,747 --> 00:28:36,249
<i>I can offer you something better.</i>
498
00:28:48,296 --> 00:28:51,564
Damn.
A little rusty, I guess.
499
00:28:54,067 --> 00:28:56,636
Guys, clock's ticking.
Where's Skye?
500
00:28:56,670 --> 00:28:59,905
<i>You stay with us, there's no secrets,
no lies, and no agenda.</i>
501
00:28:59,940 --> 00:29:02,775
You're free to do what you do
502
00:29:02,810 --> 00:29:05,010
without big brother watching over you.
503
00:29:06,179 --> 00:29:08,814
But first, you have to tell me
504
00:29:08,848 --> 00:29:12,451
exactly what agenda S.H.I.E.L.D.
sent you in here with.
505
00:29:12,485 --> 00:29:18,289
Well, they wanted me to do
whatever it takes to get in here.
506
00:29:22,261 --> 00:29:24,094
Get in here and...?
507
00:29:28,365 --> 00:29:33,404
Bat my eyes.
Get you talking.
508
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:35,305
- We're in!
- She's done it!
509
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:37,842
- Fitz, you're up.
- Oh, mother of all things.
510
00:29:37,876 --> 00:29:41,745
Move, move, move!
Uh...
511
00:29:41,779 --> 00:29:45,415
<i>We have a man down.
Hostiles on the east ridge!</i>
512
00:29:47,852 --> 00:29:49,919
Aah!
We need a reset here, Fitz!
513
00:29:51,321 --> 00:29:53,356
Fitz!
514
00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:56,458
Saying his name repeatedly
does not increase productivity!
515
00:29:56,493 --> 00:29:58,227
- Okay, go!
- Oh, maybe it does.
516
00:29:59,363 --> 00:30:02,731
<i>System rebooting in two, one, now!</i>
517
00:30:11,540 --> 00:30:14,242
- I'll look for Dr. Hall down in the lab.
- I'll get Skye.
518
00:30:15,811 --> 00:30:17,712
<i>No, you can't be the only angle.</i>
519
00:30:17,746 --> 00:30:20,916
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s thorough enough
to know about me and my exploits.
520
00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:24,019
It takes more than a
pretty face to disarm me.
521
00:30:24,053 --> 00:30:26,288
Sir, we have a security breach.
522
00:30:26,322 --> 00:30:28,822
Oh, the timing on that was perfect.
523
00:30:38,866 --> 00:30:43,404
Dr. Hall. Agent Coulson.
We have an exit strategy.
524
00:30:43,438 --> 00:30:44,838
- S.H.I.E.L.D.?
- Yes, sir.
525
00:30:44,872 --> 00:30:47,340
- Let's get you out of here.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Coulson.
526
00:30:47,374 --> 00:30:52,011
- I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
- I'll be honest,
527
00:30:52,046 --> 00:30:55,849
our strategy did not take into
consideration you saying that.
528
00:31:00,253 --> 00:31:02,421
Oh, no.
529
00:31:02,456 --> 00:31:04,356
Look, I don't know what Quinn
is promising you, but...
530
00:31:04,390 --> 00:31:05,491
An opportunity.
531
00:31:08,762 --> 00:31:12,031
We can't let Quinn have control of this.
It's too dangerous.
532
00:31:12,065 --> 00:31:14,800
We can't let anyone have control
of this. That's why I'm here...
533
00:31:14,834 --> 00:31:18,537
To bury it at the bottom
of the ocean, with him.
534
00:31:21,174 --> 00:31:25,109
<i>Coulson.
The leak came from...</i>
535
00:31:25,144 --> 00:31:26,811
Dr. Hall.
Yeah, I'm getting that.
536
00:31:26,845 --> 00:31:30,549
All petitions, embargoes in
the world couldn't stop Ian.
537
00:31:30,583 --> 00:31:32,983
He grows more powerful every day.
538
00:31:33,017 --> 00:31:35,919
And then I get word he's found this.
539
00:31:40,658 --> 00:31:45,529
I'm sorry, Mr. Coulson.
I had to make a choice.
540
00:31:48,132 --> 00:31:50,359
<i>Something tells me that
wasn't the "off" button!</i>
541
00:31:57,623 --> 00:32:01,192
- Guys, we need to talk.
- Lost you for a minute.
542
00:32:01,226 --> 00:32:05,029
- We're aware of the problem, sir.
- Hall wanted Quinn to kidnap him?
543
00:32:05,064 --> 00:32:07,365
- Yeah, why would he do that?
- What is wrong with him?
544
00:32:07,399 --> 00:32:11,301
Quinn built a gravity generator,
like the one we found but bigger.
545
00:32:11,336 --> 00:32:14,372
Hall knew Quinn would need
him to control its raw power,
546
00:32:14,406 --> 00:32:16,474
but Hall just wanted to unleash it.
547
00:32:16,508 --> 00:32:19,209
The one we found was 2.5
centimeters in diameter.
548
00:32:19,244 --> 00:32:21,778
It stopped a semi.
How big are we talking?
549
00:32:21,812 --> 00:32:24,947
12 feet. It'll definitely
take down the entire compound.
550
00:32:24,982 --> 00:32:26,949
- It'll sink the place.
- No, it'll do more than that.
551
00:32:26,984 --> 00:32:30,820
Work a solution. I'll disconnect
the power before things get...
552
00:32:30,855 --> 00:32:33,790
<i>crazy.</i>
553
00:32:36,827 --> 00:32:39,127
They can't help you.
554
00:32:42,532 --> 00:32:48,003
Soon, it'll reach an
exponential acceleration state.
555
00:32:50,507 --> 00:32:52,040
I'm sorry.
556
00:32:54,576 --> 00:33:00,481
- My team's here... good people.
- Sworn to protect all mankind?
557
00:33:00,516 --> 00:33:03,918
That's what I'm doing, I promise...
558
00:33:03,952 --> 00:33:05,420
making things right.
559
00:33:18,633 --> 00:33:20,199
Don't you get it?
560
00:33:20,234 --> 00:33:22,068
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s against
everything you stand for.
561
00:33:22,102 --> 00:33:25,805
- They're big brother.
- Maybe, but they're the nice big brother
562
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:28,140
who stands up for his
helpless little brother
563
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:29,408
when he's getting beat up
564
00:33:29,443 --> 00:33:32,778
because he ate a piece
of cake that he wasn't...
565
00:33:32,813 --> 00:33:35,213
you know, you kidnapped a person!
566
00:33:35,248 --> 00:33:37,917
<i>I set him free! I saved him!</i>
567
00:33:38,951 --> 00:33:44,456
- And I could've saved you.
- This place is massive.
568
00:33:44,490 --> 00:33:47,724
<i>- Where am I heading?
- Southwest corner.</i>
569
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:49,392
<i>Ward, tell me you've got
things covered on the ground.</i>
570
00:33:49,427 --> 00:33:51,595
I can't do a damn thing from out here.
571
00:33:51,629 --> 00:33:53,363
I'm working on it.
572
00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:58,569
Tell me what they're doing!
573
00:34:00,271 --> 00:34:03,539
Tell me what they're doing.
You have to talk.
574
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:06,075
You have no other way out of this.
575
00:34:07,143 --> 00:34:08,911
You're expendable to S.H.I.E.L.D.
576
00:34:08,946 --> 00:34:11,113
they sent you in here with nothing.
577
00:34:12,148 --> 00:34:13,816
Ah!
578
00:34:13,851 --> 00:34:17,620
- They taught me a few things.
- Kid's got balls.
579
00:34:17,654 --> 00:34:20,622
Thanks, but... yuck.
580
00:34:20,656 --> 00:34:23,959
But do you have what it
takes to pull the trigger?
581
00:34:25,027 --> 00:34:26,862
Nope.
582
00:34:32,802 --> 00:34:33,935
Get her.
583
00:34:44,178 --> 00:34:48,448
Hall.
We have to evacuate.
584
00:34:48,483 --> 00:34:51,885
Get the chopper. Now!
585
00:34:57,825 --> 00:35:01,528
<i>All I had to do to get
access to Quinn's lab</i>
586
00:35:01,562 --> 00:35:06,098
was drop little clues, create
a puzzle for him to solve.
587
00:35:06,133 --> 00:35:09,768
- Quinn likes to feel smart.
- So you leaked your location.
588
00:35:09,802 --> 00:35:13,204
- Why not try reasoning with him?
- You can't reason with an addict,
589
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,674
and he's addicted to
exploiting opportunities.
590
00:35:15,708 --> 00:35:20,278
<i>He never gives a thought
to the friends, ecosystems,</i>
591
00:35:20,312 --> 00:35:22,948
future generations
left ruined in his wake.
592
00:35:22,982 --> 00:35:25,950
Like Agents Fitz and
Simmons, your former students?
593
00:35:25,984 --> 00:35:29,554
I've got them in my ear right now,
telling me you're not a bad guy.
594
00:35:29,588 --> 00:35:31,522
We could've worked with you on this.
595
00:35:35,894 --> 00:35:37,227
<i>S.H.I.E.L.D.?</i>
596
00:35:37,262 --> 00:35:39,963
S.H.I.E.L.D. is just as
guilty of the same thing!
597
00:35:39,997 --> 00:35:43,567
Experimentation without
thought of consequence!
598
00:35:43,601 --> 00:35:46,736
Your search for an
unlimited power source
599
00:35:46,771 --> 00:35:50,874
- brought an alien invasion.
- Fair point.
600
00:35:52,610 --> 00:35:58,847
T-this element is far too powerful
for you, for him, for anyone!
601
00:35:58,882 --> 00:36:01,416
<i>I don't have to tell you that.</i>
602
00:36:01,451 --> 00:36:02,551
You're feeling it now.
603
00:36:21,904 --> 00:36:22,904
<i>- Get her!
- Come here...</i>
604
00:36:22,905 --> 00:36:24,472
No, no. No, no!
Please, please!
605
00:36:44,558 --> 00:36:46,459
Are you hurt?
606
00:36:46,494 --> 00:36:49,762
Just follow my orders.
I'll get us out of here.
607
00:37:02,007 --> 00:37:06,545
<i>I see the future, Mr. Coulson,
and it's a catastrophe.</i>
608
00:37:06,579 --> 00:37:09,114
I just see a lot of people in trouble.
609
00:37:11,183 --> 00:37:13,485
Nothing. Fitz-Simmons?
610
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,087
<i>I tried to cut the power.
It's still going.</i>
611
00:37:16,122 --> 00:37:17,755
- Find a catalyst.
- You need to find a catalyst.
612
00:37:17,789 --> 00:37:20,224
Something to create a
chemical reaction in the core.
613
00:37:20,259 --> 00:37:22,926
It's not too late to do the right thing.
Help me find a catalyst...
614
00:37:22,961 --> 00:37:26,897
I am doing the right thing...
a completely selfless act.
615
00:37:26,931 --> 00:37:30,401
<i>I know that history never
celebrates what didn't happen.</i>
616
00:37:30,435 --> 00:37:32,302
They'll call this a-a tragedy.
617
00:37:32,336 --> 00:37:34,904
<i>They won't understand
the good I did here.</i>
618
00:37:34,938 --> 00:37:40,277
- Killing innocent people?
- Saving millions.
619
00:37:40,311 --> 00:37:43,513
We have to live with
the choices we make,
620
00:37:43,548 --> 00:37:46,949
but sometimes we have
to die with them, too.
621
00:37:47,984 --> 00:37:49,885
I understand.
622
00:37:51,954 --> 00:37:55,123
- You made a hard call.
- Yes.
623
00:37:55,158 --> 00:37:57,660
And now I have to make mine.
624
00:38:36,864 --> 00:38:39,565
<i>- Say it back to me.
- Deepest level of the fridge,</i>
625
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,500
<i>unmarked vault, no access granted.</i>
626
00:38:41,535 --> 00:38:43,603
And no recorded entry.
I don't want it listed.
627
00:38:43,637 --> 00:38:45,538
I don't want it flagged
for the slingshot.
628
00:38:45,572 --> 00:38:49,508
Anyone finds out, you're
responsible... and suffering.
629
00:38:49,543 --> 00:38:51,677
- Understood?
- Yes, sir.
630
00:38:51,712 --> 00:38:55,180
That's what Hall would've wanted.
631
00:38:55,215 --> 00:38:58,650
Used to have this down.
632
00:38:58,684 --> 00:39:04,056
- Should be just muscle memory.
- You're making a habit of it, sir.
633
00:39:04,090 --> 00:39:08,160
Trying.
Guess I'm a little rusty.
634
00:39:08,194 --> 00:39:12,496
Of these close calls, I mean.
I don't enjoy running back end.
635
00:39:13,904 --> 00:39:16,634
You want off the plane?
Go ahead.
636
00:39:18,771 --> 00:39:20,004
I want in.
637
00:39:22,074 --> 00:39:24,608
Reporting for combat next time it's up.
638
00:39:24,643 --> 00:39:29,045
You committed to the cause
or just watching my back?
639
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,548
Same thing.
640
00:39:32,583 --> 00:39:35,159
And you are a little rusty.
641
00:39:54,004 --> 00:39:58,940
You and your brothers...
where'd you grow up?
642
00:39:58,974 --> 00:40:02,210
Massachusetts, mostly.
643
00:40:02,244 --> 00:40:08,249
- A house?
- You didn't?
644
00:40:08,884 --> 00:40:11,385
One house.
645
00:40:13,955 --> 00:40:16,156
The Brodys.
646
00:40:21,762 --> 00:40:27,100
I was 9. Sent me back to
St. Agnes after a month.
647
00:40:27,135 --> 00:40:32,404
- Said I wasn't a good fit.
- Foster parents.
648
00:40:32,439 --> 00:40:38,444
- Your first?
- My third.
649
00:40:38,478 --> 00:40:44,150
I had heard it before, but...
this one was different.
650
00:40:44,584 --> 00:40:47,774
'Cause you wanted them to like you.
651
00:40:49,989 --> 00:40:51,957
Bad.
652
00:40:55,962 --> 00:41:00,498
I called her "mom" once...
653
00:41:00,532 --> 00:41:02,766
tried it out.
654
00:41:04,736 --> 00:41:06,603
Guess it wasn't a good fit.
655
00:41:11,977 --> 00:41:14,544
Hoping for something and losing it
656
00:41:14,579 --> 00:41:17,646
hurts more than never
hoping for anything.
657
00:41:21,018 --> 00:41:24,087
- We won't turn our back.
- Doesn't matter.
658
00:41:24,121 --> 00:41:27,891
I made my choice.
I want this.
659
00:41:27,925 --> 00:41:30,360
Bad.
660
00:41:33,863 --> 00:41:37,732
<i>- And I know there's a truth serum.
