Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. · Season 1
Where's your power come from?
I made a deal with the Devil.
Right... okay... just... [walks over to Mack] Okay, ghosts, devils. You believe any of this stuff we're dealing with?
I believe in God, so I gotta believe in the other thing.
In my experience, gods usually turn out to be aliens.
Alien would definitely explain the things he can do.
[Robbie grabs James' flaming chain]
I don't know who the hell you are, but you just made a big mistake.
Funny, I was gonna say the same thing, without the accent.
Now I see why you've been spending so much time here.
What?
AIDA. She's beautiful.
Is she? She's all right I guess. I prefer classical beauty myself.
She's so real. Her conversational responses, her range of motion.
Those are weird things to say about a person.
Fitz, she's an android. You do know she's an android right?
Of course I know that she's an android, because I helped out. Why do you think her dynamic reaction force is so low?
If that thing is that dangerous, then why not tell him? He's the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
We don't know if we can trust him.
[nodding at Robbie] So why the hell is he here?
Without him, we wouldn't know the Darkhold had resurfaced. But the fewer people who know about it, the better. Fury had no problem opening Pandora's box from time to time, but even he was afraid of this thing. It's powerful, it's deadly, and now probably in the hands of a pissed off mad scientist ghost. So, thoughts, feelings? This is a safe space.
If we're going to get my uncle, I'm going with you.
No, you're not.
If your uncle can lead us to Lucy, then maybe we'll let you out to bust some ghosts, but until then, your ass stays on the plane.
I don't take orders.
Then this will be a new experience.
You can't keep me here.
Maybe not. But you take this plane down, you'll be burning up the only people in the world trying to help you.
I need to get off this plane, now.
[typing on her laptop] That should put you in... rural Utah. And you think you're pissed off now...
Lucy leaves a lot of crazy in her wake. If we're gonna track her down, we're gonna need that antidote. Fitz said that they were close.
I don't want it close. I want it here.
You know, you never did tell me what you saw when you died.
Really? Now? Is it because it smells like death down here
You saw something.
You want to know what I saw, Phil?
Yeah.
I saw you. Don't let it get to your head.
As a former director, I have a better sense than most about how precious your time is. How important it is to prioritize the critical from the trivial. Which makes me wonder why you'd waste half a day flying here on a wild goose chase.
It's not a wild goose chase if there are geese. You deny they're on board?
Geese? I have zero geese. We are goose free.
You know what a hero is?
Are we really going to do this?
Everybody loves Han Solo. Rebel, rule breaker, lone wolf. But to my old-fashioned sensibilities he's not a hero, he's just a guy who always puts himself first.
I agree.
A real hero's a team player, someone who acts selflessly.
Not sure you heard the part where I agreed. Personally I always felt that Admiral Ackbar was the unsung hero. A strategic military man who led combat ops against the Empire.
Is that how you see it Phil? S.H.I.E.L.D. is the Empire and your ragtag group is the Rebels?
I've devoted everything to S.H.I.E.L.D. I gave my life for it. Literally.
Oh, I don't deny that you've done a lot of good in the past, but a true hero doesn't protect a brutal killer.
What are you talking about?
[looks at a tablet] Yesterday your fiery friend killed a prisoner named Santino Noguera. Was the man a murderer with three strikes? Yes, but the legal system sentenced him to prison, not to death.
Now this is the part I never told you, the thing I try to hide. When I was thrown from the car I begged God, I begged the universe, I begged anyone who would listen that you be spared. I swore that I'd give anything to save you.
Don't stop there. Then what?
Well then I hit the street, and I died. Then there's nothing. It's just darkness. Then I heard a voice. It was asking me if I wanted a second chance, did I want to punish those who hurt my brother? Did I want to avenge my own death? I answered yes, more than anything, yes. I was alive again. And you're right, there was someone there when I came to, but it wasn't a Good Samaritan, it was the Devil. Whatever was inside him, he passed it into me.
Ghost Rider.
That's the deal I made. I swore to go after those who spilled innocent blood, and then I was reborn.
Hey guys? I've got some big, fat, disappointing news. I can't hack in or shut down the plant's operating system from here.
Well, you're out of practice. Too much punching, not enough hacking.
Very funny. No, I can't hack in because their system isn't on a network, it predates the internet. Coulson, how did anything ever get done back in the old timey days?
I ask myself that all the time.
Am I supposed to be afraid of you?
My uncle is Eli Morrow.
Of course. I've seen your picture. You're his nephew, Gabriel. Like the angel.
No. [his eyes light up with fire] I'm the other one.
The Chinatown Crew was working with Eli when he was in prison. And now that he's out, they might know his location. Now, I figure if I find their hideouts, I find Eli, and then I can...
Slow down. We're not gonna just go cracking heads.
It's not cracking heads.
Let him go. Someone should.
Look, my job is to keep people safe.
Mine, too. So first we sharpen the ax, and then we chop the tree.
My ax is plenty sharp. And a shotgun.
I knew Robbie was disturbed, but... but I was afraid that was 'cause of me... 'cause I was holding him back.
No, you... you're what he held onto. You grounded him.
But I wanted him to leave. You know, figure himself out. I didn't know that was what he was up against.
Your brother loves you more than anything.
I just wish we had talked. You really think he's not gone?
I know the feeling when someone's gone, and I don't feel that now. Plus, your brother's pretty damn stubborn.
