Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. · Season 1
Perhaps it's best if we start over since we're going to be working together.
Working together? On what?
On getting home.
There's no getting home. Sooner you accept that the better. Survival's all that matters.
I will not accept that. There's always hope.
Eat, shower, or sleep? What are you gonna do first when we get back?
Eat. Please. Who you talking to? What're you gonna do?
Ummm, I'm going to eat in the shower and fall asleep while doing it.
That's very efficient. I expect nothing less.
If you're not with NASA, how did you get into the monolith?
It's not with NASA anymore. It's with S.H.I.E.L.D. They've had it for quite some time. I'm not sure how or why.
That's real, S.H.I.E.L.D?
It was, I was recruited right out of the academy.
I was a test pilot for the Air Force, recruited by NASA. Now here I am.
Here we are. At least you volunteered.
Yeah.
[having lost the opportunity to return to Earth] You were right. There's no hope on this planet.
That's what I used to think. Then you showed up.
Lash was tracking us. He knew where our truck was. He needed inside info for that.
You think he's got access to ATCU information?
No, I think he's in the ATCU. We know that he can transform himself into a regular size guy and back. What if he's hiding out as one of them?
That's a scary thought.
Andrew didn't get all the details exactly right. He said there were four men on the scene, but only three bodies were recovered: Coulson's man and two Hydra guys. The fourth guy was one of Andrew's students. [brings up the I.D. for "Alexander Braun"] That's his I.D., but it's an alias. He's not Alexander Braun. [glances at Bobbi] He's Werner von Strucker.
Wait, von Strucker? As in-
[nods] Hail Hydra.
[nods] Ward was starting his own little Hydra dynasty. Cute.
We find the Strucker kid, he'll lead us back to Ward.
You got a how?
S.H.I.E.L.D's been monitoring several Hydra bank accounts for a while now, one just woke up. Cayman Islands.
Strucker needed funds, makes sense. So what's the op?
How's your Mandarin?
[in Mandarin] You tell me.
If we head down there, maybe we'll pick up his trail. He's on the run from Ward. From us. Almost makes me feel sorry for the kid.
What, you don't think I should help Simmons rescue Will?
Do you think you should? He's the competition. If your girlfriend's ex wants to visit from Phoenix, you do not buy him a plane ticket.
That's really specific. Anyway, this guy kept Simmons alive. I owe him. He deserves my help.
Is that a person?
Oh god.
Is he dead?
No they're monitoring him. He's alive.
But in, some kind of what... a coma?
This is ATCU. This is where they're storing Inhumans they find. Like animals in cages.
Safe as houses.
What?
It's an expression, people say that.
Sure. And someday you can tell me how you survived the Dust Bowl and the Hoover Administration, Grandpa.
That's an ugly side of you, Daisy.
The ATCU is looking for a cure. I'm not suggesting that's for everyone, because it's not, but some people might want to...
We are not a disease.
I didn't say that you were.
You can't just expect people to go through that kind of change and immediately have a handle on it. Do you remember how scared I was at first?
Yes, I also remember you iced yourself so that you wouldn't hurt any of us. You've got to admit, things are getting out of hand.
Just admit it, you're afraid of people like me. Afraid of our power.
Absolutely. Do you even know your own strength? Could you take down this plane for instance?
I wouldn't do that.
But if you wanted to? You could kill me right now. Mankind's scary enough as it is, some psycho gets a gun and watch out. But now, people are their own weapon.
Not everyone is like...
Some is enough. That's all it takes.
You only see the terrible things.
That's not true.
I protect people.
It doesn't matter.
How can you say that?
Because for every Daisy Johnson, there's a Lash and it's ignorant for you to think otherwise.
So, are you gonna tell me what really happened? Cause I'm not quite buying this shark attack bit.
You're not buying that? One of my men cut it off. Saved my life.
By chopping off your hand?
Kind of had to be there.
Does it hurt?
Everyday.
Phantom pain. The thing that's missing is the thing that you feel the most.
Makes it hard to forget.
So maybe you don't. But it's also important to look ahead. See what's in front of you.
[after May shoots Andrew into the containment unit and is shown to have survived]
How did you know that wasn't going to kill him?
I didn't.
Revenge only provides a temporary pleasure.
But a pleasure nonetheless.
You should think on a grander scale.
Oh, it'll be grand. I'm going to cut off the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., because without Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't grow back.
The octopus is one of the great symbols of Hydra. Supremely intelligent, highly adaptable, and they are ruthless killers. A nearly perfect predator. Same could be said of you.
Well it's a terrifying symbol, but not my idea of dinner. Then again, I am adaptable. I hope you can be too.
