Let's think this through. Skye could be anywhere. Running blind puts our people at risk.
She is at risk. Hydra is hunting her, full force.
Call me crazy, but I think she can take care of herself. The smart move is to wait for her to reach out.
Look, this isn't your wheelhouse. I'm sure you're a good schoolteacher, but you're a schoolteacher.
Maybe, but someone once thought I could be more than that. I had a chance to join S.H.I.E.L.D. A man showed up, when I was fresh out of school–
I don't have time for a history lesson. [turns to leave]
[blocks Ward] I said no, because I was afraid. The way you're afraid right now. Don't let emotion cloud your judgement.
That's not what's going on here.
I could've changed my life that day. But it seemed like too much responsibility. I didn't want to shoulder it. Now I think maybe I should have.
Well, when I got that offer I took it. I was serving time, arson first-degree, pretty sure my life was over. That's when someone came to me.
A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent? What was his name?
She'd laugh that you assumed it was a guy. Her name was Victoria Hand. She was the first person to tell me I could be a good man. Skye was the one who made me believe it. Now she's in danger. I can't just sit around and do nothing.
Try not to get killed, okay?
