Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. · 679 quotes[Coulson, Hunter and Bobbi have kidnapped Grant Ward's younger brother, Thomas Ward, and taken him prisoner aboard the Quinjet]
Please don't kill me.
Nobody wants that.
That's not very reassuring when he's got a gun to your head.
I hate to break it to you but your brother isn't a very nice guy.
You're the one who just kidnapped me. What's wrong with you people?
Ward hurt someone I care about. And as far as we can tell, you're the only thing left in this world that he cares about. Which means, you're the only way I can draw him out.
Okay... but you better finish him off when you do.
[surprised] Honestly I wasn't expecting that.
It's what Grant's always done; hurt people and lie to himself about it.
So all that talk about a "traumatic childhood" is... just rubbish then?
Sure, whatever he told you about our parents is true. See my Dad, he had some... real anger issues, and my Mom... well she had Dad issues. So they spent most of their time taking those issues out on us.
What about your brothers, you're close?
Christian was a lot older, so we never really hung out much, but Grant... he was my best friend. Protected me from Mom and Dad, and Christian. Then one day he... didn't.
The day he pushed you down the well.
Grant totally changed after that. It was like he felt guilty but couldn't admit what had really happened. Instead he kept promising never to let anyone hurt me again.
Slightly unnerving coming from the guy who just chucked you down a well.
You two keep in touch? Family reunions, holidays, that sort of thing?
Grant was 17 when he burned my parents house down with Christian inside. Ever since I've made sure to give him a pretty wide berth.
[to Coulson] Pretty sound logic actually.
Well, you don't really seem like your brother.
Just because you grow up in a family of abusive monsters doesn't mean you have to become one.
