You're late.
Hold up. Please. We didn't have a chance to finish our conversation.
I said what I had to say.
Melinda...
We have a mission, Phil.
[To himself] Good talk, Phil. Good talk.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Just for grins, say I were interested... in someone... anyone. How would I... Like, you got a good thing going.
Don't look at me. Last time I saw Yo-Yo, she lied to me, locked me up, and ran off.
Coulson?
Sorry, bro. Apparently, I'm incapable of expressing my feelings or letting people take care of me.
You guys are useless. It's lemons, then.
Come again?
Well, in my day, when you wanted to tell someone how you felt, you'd just save up your tokens, you'd buy a lemon, you leave it on their bunk. That's... That's a thing here, right?
100%.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
When in doubt, get a bunch of lemons.
RRuby
[To Daisy] You know, for a long time, you were everything that I wanted. You were my hero. And now look at us.
Ruby, let her go.
RRuby
I am more than you will ever be.
Ruby, I am not here to fight you. You need help.
RRuby
I don't want your help! I want to crush you.
Ruby, that's enough! That's enough! You listen to her. She is on your side.
RRuby
Then why aren't you?! Mom, face it, I was never good enough for you.
I found what you're looking for.
My Gravitonium.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has it.
Then you failed. Perhaps our deal has reached its end.
I can tell you where they're hiding. But they won't give it willingly.
You'd have me kill them?
I have no reason to stop you.
[An alien spaceship appears over the Lighthouse.]
GRGeneral Rick Stoner
Please go to the main computer terminal and choose from the following options. If the Lighthouse is experiencing an extreme-weather event, press 1.
KAgent Kim
Agent Coulson, I can't silence the alarms.
SStoner
If you're experiencing a nuclear attack, press 2.
Screw it. [Presses 2]
SStoner
For an alien invasion, press 3. You have selected nuclear attack. For your own health, safety, and radiation protection, all outer doors will remain sealed for 15 years.
Did he just say 15 years?
How was I supposed to know there would be an "alien invasion" option?
You always listen to the whole menu. Always!
[Over the intercom] You may be noticing that the Lighthouse is going into lockdown mode. This is not a drill. The Lighthouse is keeping us safe. All exits, including the hangar, have been sealed to protect us from any outside intrusion. Which is good, 'cause there is currently a sizeable alien spaceship overhead. Oh, and due to a technical malfunction, the Lighthouse thinks we're under nuclear attack, so we may be trapped inside for 15 years... ish.
[Qovas appears on the viewscreen.]
I remember you, too. The lighting wasn't great, but the whole vision thing was hard to forget. Did General Hale send you?
You will be dealing with me now. I'm here for what was promised, the Gravitonium.
Yeah, that's gonna be a hard pass. Maybe you haven't realized it yet, but this bunker, it's apocalypse-proof. It can withstand a nuclear blast. We have years of food, water, and air.
KKim
[Whispers to May] Is that true?
[Whispers back] Not good food.
And pretty soon, the world's gonna realize there's this giant ship in its atmosphere, and I'm thinking, in the current political climate, won't be long before you're blown out of the sky. [To May] Too much?
In the future, we swore... We swore we wouldn't lose ourselves.
I know.
Or lose each other.
I know. I love you. I'm doing this for you, but you need to believe me. You need to trust that I know what I'm doing. Please, Mack. You know me. You know I may run away, but I always come back to where I started.
I know. I just don't know if I'll be here when you do.
Look, I can't tell you if what you did [killing Ruby] was right or wrong. That's up to you to decide. But it doesn't just change you. It changes how people see you. And the only thing you can do is make peace with it.
I'm trying.
I could've warned myself about a lot of things: Ruby, Hale, these aliens; but instead, she told me... Instead, she told me, "Coulson is dying, and we need to let him." I'm sorry, sir. I hated keeping this. I owe you so much. You're my family.
No, you're wrong. Robin said Coulson puts the pieces back together. And you're saying that we should've just left him to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere.
I have to listen, May. She was me. She's lived through this, through the loop, who knows how many times.
Exactly. You don't know. We haven't lost yet, and as far as we know, they can't get in here, and until they do you better believe we're gonna do everything possible to keep him alive.
CMCaptive Marauder
The Confederacy has stood more than 1,000 years. They will seek vengeance, making slaves of you all.
Really wish we could happen upon some non-slave-trading aliens.
Any idea why this one is more rabid than the rest?
It probably has something to do with this. [Holds a bottle of Odium] I'm pretty sure this is the same stuff Kasius took.
Must give them some sort of energy boost.
CMCaptive Marauder
You are not worthy of holding the Odium.
'Course it would have a dumb name.
What was Hydra's arrangement with the Confederacy?
To protect the Earth from being attacked.
In exchange for what?
Resources. Inhumans and Gravitonium above all.
Why Gravitonium?
Because its power is unlimited. It can bend space, build empires, and destroy them.
Couldn't you just find a fun game on your phone instead?
I've been better. It's like the universe keeps reminding me that I should never have come back from the future. Also, some creep put a bunch of lemons on my bed as some weird sort of prank.
Sounds like classic Fitz. Look, I, um I feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be. I, on the other hand, I, I lived in the Lighthouse my entire life, only to time travel into the past and still spend every single day of my life inside the freaking Lighthouse. So it's like, even without Kasius around, this place just has this leash that keeps pulling me back in.
Well, I'm glad you stuck around, even if it's a little crazy.
W-Well, maybe it's not that crazy. I-I-I've been wanting to tell you something since we've gotten, you know, I don't want to say closer, but...
You really don't. Everyone who gets close to me ends up dying.
We were trying to get ahead of the problem.
By having Yo-Yo execute a kid?
Things got messy, but, I mean, it was the only way that Y-Yo...
When does killing become the only way? We're S.H.I.E.L.D. Aren't we supposed to be better than that? None of this would've happened if you would've just said this invincible nonsense wasn't real. But instead you and Simmons lit the match, and now Yo-Yo's responsible for a girl's death.
I'm sorry, Mack. I really am. But it's not that simple.
Simple is how you live a good life. Not with your theories or prophecies. It's following the Good Word and doing the right thing every time, simple as that.
No. Not always, 'cause there are lots of instances in history where, where it was necessary to sacrifice the few in order to save the lives of many.
'Course you'd say that.
Ruby was dangerous and it got complicated and that is just the way it was. So I'm sorry if that doesn't fit whatever narrative that you've built for yourself.
You need to look inside yourself and figure out what kind of man you want to be. 'Cause lately, what you've been, it needs fixing.
If I'm the one you want, fine, I won't resist, but first you have to put Coulson down.
You and I both know you can't be trusted.
I trust her.
Why would you trust Quake?
Because she kept her word. When Ruby was infected with Gravitonium, she tried to help.
Infected? Ruby was weak. Gravitonium wasn't intended for some itty-bitty little girl. It was meant for a hero strong enough to handle it.
You need to take a deep breath and calm your mind, Glenn. You know what's best. It's best if you comply.
Compliance will be rewarded.
That's right.
And so will your betrayal. [Kills Hale]
And how do you plan to stop me? With Earth weapons? The tools of cowards. We Remorath earn our kills. That is how we earn our rank. With humans, it's not about earned power. It's about the gun. It allows the weak to pretend to be strong.
I don't need a gun to stop you.
