[Meeting Coulson for the first time]
The powers that be have also recommended...
I told you. We're getting transferred to one of the poles.
...have also recommended you for my team.
This is an honor. Thank you for this opportunity.
Yeah, we would love the chance to discuss it and think about it more, I think, probably, alone.
Of course. Look. I know the field isn't for everyone. Some people want to remain behind the scenes. I get it. But to be out there, seeing the lives you're changing, you end up being the one most changed by it.
I found him so inspiring that day. You still needed a push.
Yeah, well, look at what happened because of it. What was that thing you kept on saying? Um, Oh, yes, that's it. "Chin up, Fitz. There's nothing to be afraid of."
[Arguing]
You know, you hurt me just as much as I hurt you. I was dying on the inside when you left, abandoned me after my brain injury.
And then you get taken away by some rock, only to fall in love with some bloody astronaut...
I was alone on a desert planet.
...who turned out to be Hive, by the way. Oh, and also, are we sure that that happened after you slept with him?
Because, hey, the jury's still out on that one.
Oh, you want to go there? At least he was a person! You built a robot girlfriend...
Well, that's bending the truth.
...and, left to your own devices, turned into a Nazi dictator. Wait, is that is that bending the truth? No! No, it's not!
Yeah, and I suppose you’re the one that keeping me together.
Holier than thou, proving my point!
Because you want to build everything your brain comes up with, so you can couch it in “helping mankind, helping friends.” But the Framework revealed the truth… it’s all ego.
I would love to deal with ego.
‘Cause your id’s out there chewing Mack’s head off.
Oh, really? [Simmons looks outside the containment pod window]
We’re the same, Jemma. You just like to repress your bad thoughts and pretend that it’s not happening. Y-Your ego likes to pretend you’re Jane Goodall, saving helpless, little creatures like me.
[Preparing to face the manifestations of their dark sides]
We're gonna have to face those things out there. And we might actually die trying.
[They leave the containment pod and see their dark sides making out with each other]
[Their dark sides disappear just out of the camera frame apparently doing things that cannot be shown on broadcast television in the United States.]
[Mesmerized by what he is seeing] That is abso... Whoa. Oh. Oh, wow. Didn't know you liked that.
[Also mesmerized] Didn't know you'd do that.
Fitz, we're obviously made for each other, and, I'm sorry I can't give you back the time you missed. But I can give you me. Now and forever.
The whole universe couldn't keep me from you, Jemma Simmons. I am the luckiest man on any planet.
So, this lady [May] was in love with this dead Coulson guy. Anyone else have a thing for him?
Yeah, I'm... Uh, this is too much. [Leaves]
Her, too, huh? Daddy issues?
You're talking about this Shrike creator that's coming. You told May it's a monster.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dealt with a lot of folks who thought they were gods. Just had egos. There's only one God.
Oh, I see. This is that kind of planet. One God controlling everything. Benevolent, right? To make you feel all warm inside when times get tough?
Whatever your fairy tale, I've seen gods up close, and I think you're gonna get that opportunity, too. Believe me. You're not prepared for this.
I'm prepared to protect my people from whatever's coming.
Your people? Hmm. They keep looking at me. You might want to get used to that.
Because by the end of the day, I'll be the one in charge.
KKitson
My grandfather came to this planet with 20 Yookalian slaves and a dream.
KKitson
He built this planet's original settlement with their bare hands. A few ramshackle modules for his games, a small dome for his brothel, and then he kept building so that I, son and grandson of Kitson, would one day have an empire. And you put all that at risk. Using a synthetic to cheat. Bringing bounty hunters in to wreak havoc at my house of games.
Surely a decent soul like you can understand. Somebody who's so proud of his own home.
KKitson
Decency doesn't put food into the mouths of my wives. No, I'm a gambler. And I'm also a man who will deal out a punishment.
Okay, okay. Just There's no need for that. We can work. I'm an engineer.
Yeah. We both know alien languages. I'm a botanist, a chemist...
Yeah, and Enoch, here, is a super-advanced computer, so, we can be of use. Yeah. There's no need to kill us.
KKitson
Killing you is the use I have for you.
KKitson
Killing a synthetic is a wasted sport. He'll be sent to the brothels.
I do not know what I am feeling.
KKitson
You know what? I have something very special in mind for you Terrans. Hope you're not too attached to your heads.
[Simmons, Fitz, and another Gambler are in guillotines]
After everything, this can't possibly be how we come to an end. No one would believe it.
GGambler
House always wins, don't it?
KKitson
Are you ready for a deadly game from the early days of Kitson? Three contestants put their lives in the balance. Now, who among them is strong enough to keep their blades from falling? Blades made from Veroovian steel the densest metal in the galaxy. The player that cannot hold the weight, will decapitate. The bets are in! Let the fun begin! Who will be the first to die? The scoundrel who tried to steal my most coveted brothel worker?
GGambler
Guilty as charged.
KKitson
Or will it be one of the Terrans? Criminals wanted for nefarious intergalactic deeds.
GGambler
[To Simmons] If I get out of this, I could use the company of a pretty lady.
[Nearly dropping the blade] Hey! Hey! Hey! Knock it off!
[Fitz and Simmons notice Enoch walking away]
Hey. Hey! Enoch. Where you going?
My mission is complete. The Earth was saved, and you have secured passage home. I have a new mission to find a home for my people.
Wait, you're just gonna leave without saying goodbye?
You humans have a saying. "Goodbyes suck." I thought I'd spare you.
Thank you for everything, Enoch.
Thanks, Enoch. Even though you did totally disrupt my life.
[Hands Fitz a communicator] "Don't be afraid to call." Another of your expressions.
Yes, but use it only as needed, for I will not miss you very much, Leopold Fitz. I am bluffing.
Prisoners give you any trouble?
Well, the big man [Jaco] seemed content on breathing his home planet's air, but the, uh the twitchy dude [Pax] wasn't too thrilled to find out, uh, we were tracking Sarge.
That's the first time I've ever heard you say that.
Call somebody a "big man".
I'm not used to going up against giants.
Well, now you know how the rest of us feel when we're talking to you. It involves a lot of looking up.
You know, I don't feel like a lot of people have been looking up to me lately.
You can't let Sarge get to you, Mack. Everybody at S.H.I.E.L.D. believes in you.
Wish I could say the same.
You ever hear the name, uh, "Izel"? Keeps popping up in his research. Something from Incan mythology.
Oh, right. So, because I'm from South America, I must know something about Incan mythology? I'm Catholic, Mack.
Well, so there was actually three monoliths, but they were destroyed. I thought it better not to mention anything before we arrive back on Earth.
How did they get on the base? And how were they destroyed?
It's complicated, but they created these anomalies. But it did provide us with a beautiful wedding venue.
You were, and you were dashing.
Oh, yeah, and brave, and I sacrificed myself for the lives of others. Well, looks like you married Mr. Perfect, doesn't it?
Are you jealous of yourself?
Yep. Yes, I am. 'Cause he'll always be your first husband. I'm only ever gonna be the replacement.
You do realize how ridiculous this sounds?
Yep, absolutely. [Pause] Have fun on your wedding night?
Ohh! It was wonderful. I mean, obviously, you know, it will be nothing compared to the second time.
What? I wasn't enough the first time?
What's her [Izel's] motive?
Hatred. For all living things.
Love. [Pause] No, it's hate. That's my thing, too. Hate and revenge. She took my family from me. I won't stop until she pays for that.
Well, if she's that powerful, how can you kill her?
There's only one way to kill the beast. [Holds a sword]
A galaxy hopping hate-beast that eats planets, and you want to defeat her with a, um, sword?
[Later]
Well, Benson gave us some information that might help us understand her. Has Sarge shared how he plans to take her out?
It's unclear but it may or may not involve a magical sword.
The bomb. Mack's on the phone. He wants to talk. Your boy Pax squealed.
Yes, tell him he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. Did he tell you what kind of bomb?
One that'll leave a crater 200 miles wide.
Well, I don't know miles, but if that's a lot, then yeah, that kind of bomb. I told you I had an insurance policy.
I am. You were right. Swords just don't cut it. I'm not taking any chances. When Izel lands, I'm gonna blow her, her ship, and her black tower of death into oblivion.
We're just outside a city. You'd kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people along with her.
A small price to pay for saving your planet and countless others. Now, we need to get on the same page and get off this truck before we become part of that small price.
I can't wait to kill you.
Because you robbed me of my family, the woman I love, my home. And then you took the one thing I had left, my memories of them.
It's not that I stole your memories, Sarge. It's that you never had any to begin with.
