Skye:
The secret is out.
For decades, your organization
stayed in the shadows,
Hiding the truth.
But now we know
they're among us.
Heroes
And monsters.
The world is full of wonders.
Thanks, Bernie.
You bet.
Ace,
come and get it.
What do you say we go out to
your aunt Mindy's this weekend?
You and Kisha
can swim in the pond.
Sure.
You know, you got a birthday
coming up in a couple of months.
Who's your favorite?
I'm okay.
Hey.
Things are tight right now,
but I'm gonna find something.
Not back at the factory,
but I got prospects.
You and me
what are we?
We're a team.
that's right.
So, who do you
Are you okay?
All right, ace, look at me.
I need you to stay here
with Bernie, okay?
People might be hurt, and I'm
gonna see if they need my help.
Stay with Bernie.
Watch my boy!
Debbie: Help me!
Help me!!
Woman: Come on!
Come on!
Come on! Get out! Get out!
Come on!
Man: Anybody
in the building still?!
Aah!
Help me! Help me!
Man: Keep going.
We can't explain
everything we see.
But our eyes are open.
So what now?
There are no more shadows
for you to hide in.
Something impossible
just happened.
What are you going to do
about it?
Agent ward,
there's been a development.
It's the rising tide.
They've pinned down
the location of the package.
We need to abort.
I'm five minutes away
from retrieving it.
So is everyone else.
They posted the coordinates
online.
If the job was easy
Yeah, it wouldn't be any fun.
Watch your six.
Red tie, by the window.
Your fireplace is broken.
Dumont:
Ward, just a heads-up.
We've got possible hostiles
in your vicinity.
Really?
Hill: What does "S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
"
stand for, agent Ward?
Strategic Homeland
Intervention, Enforcement
and Logistics Division.
And what does that mean
to you?
It means someone
really wanted our initials
To spell out "SHIELD.
"
It means we're the line
Between the world
and the much weirder world.
We protect people from news
they aren't ready to hear.
And when we can't do that,
we keep them safe.
Something turns up
Like this
Chitauri neural link
We get to it
before someone bad does.
Any idea who Vanchat
was planning to sell it to?
I'm more interested
in how this rising tide group
Found out about it.
I thought
they were just hackers.
What changed?
Everything's changing.
A little while ago,
most people went to bed
Thinking that the craziest thing
in the world
Was a billionaire
in a flying metal suit.
Then aliens invaded New York
and were beaten back
By, among others,
a giant green monster,
A costumed hero from the '40s,
and a god.
I don't think
Thor's technically a god.
Well, you haven't
been near his arms.
The battle of New York
was the end of the world.
This now
is the new world.
People are different.
They have access to tech,
to formulas,
Secrets
they're not ready for.
Why was I
pulled out of Paris?
That, you'll have to ask
agent Coulson.
Yeah.
I'm clearance level six.
I know that Agent Coulson
was killed in action
Before
the battle of New York.
Got the full report.
Welcome to level seven.
Sorry
that corner was really dark,
And I couldn't help myself.
I think there's a bulb out.
Director Fury
faked your death
To motivate the avengers.
Hill: Well,
the death of a common ally
Is a particularly effective
team builder.
Female voice: Say "cheese.
"
Plus, it wasn't
that much of a stretch.
I stopped breathing
for about 40 seconds.
Eight.
It gets longer
every time you tell it.
Yeah, well, you get shanked
by the Asgardian Mussolini,
You can tell it
your way.
I was looking
at the big white light,
And it felt like a lot longer
than eight seconds.
Do they know?
The Avengers
that Fury played them?
They're
not level seven.
I got out of the I.
C.
U.
,
Fury stuck me
in a grass shack in Tahiti.
Rough gig.
Mai tais, Travis McGee novels,
and a physical therapist
Whose command of english
was Irrelevant.
But something
put you back in the game.
What is that?
That's a superhero,
agent Ward.
An unregistered gifted.
Identity unknown.
Skye:
The secret's out.
For decades,
your organization
man: On
may 2nd, an unidentified object
Another little present
from The Rising Tide.
How are they
getting this stuff before us?
Same way they cracked
our RSA implementation.
They're good.
So I need better.
Hill: Agent Coulson
has requisitioned
A mobile command unit,
to which you are assigned.
Rising Tide
is trying to draw us out.
I think it's time
they succeeded.
You want me
to cross them off?
Wow.
No.
I want to use them
to get to him.
This man's world
is about to get very weird.
He's gonna need
some help.
I'm sorry.
I was trained from day one
as a specialist.
I go in alone.
I get it done.
Defusing a nuclear bomb
I'm your guy.
A welcoming committee?
not my speed.
I know
it's not what you want.
Agent Hill
did a very detailed assessment
Of your last three missions.
Combat top grades.
Espionage
She gave you the highest marks
since Romanoff.
Under "people skills,"
she drew a
I think
it's a little poop
With knives
sticking out of it.
What?
It
That's bad, right?
And given
your family history,
I'm surprised
it's not worse.
But
I think you're the guy
for this.
Dr.
Streiten:
We're meeting now.
If I'm wrong, you go
straight back to your bombs.
Team's approved.
Physicals are all fine.
Fitz-Simmons
is not cleared for combat.
I'm told
that won't be an issue.
Agent Ward here
he's almost too fit.
That's an issue.
That should be an issue.
Maybe I can't join
the team
God, are you dismissed.
Because my
It was a porcupine.
It was not a poop.
It just means that he
No, I'm pretty sure.
And it's not just Ward.
Your whole roster is sketchy.
Well, they're cleared.
I would have been very happy
not to clear you, Phil.
I'd love for you
to rest up some more.
I've had plenty of that.
Thanks.
You sure?
You should go sometime.
Where?
Tahiti.
It's a magical place.
Three days in, I'd be begging
for an assignment.
Exactly.
Tahiti.
He really doesn't know,
does he?
He can never know.
I-is there any way
I can thank him?
are you sure nobody saw him?
male reporter: So,
the identity of the hooded hero
Still remains unknown.
Female reporter: Researchers
at UCLA medical center
Released a study today which
shows that supplemental
Just act natural.
What?
Just pretend
that we're talking.
We are.
Good.
'Cause you never know
who's listening.
I don't even know
who's talking.
I'm Skye.
And you're
the hooded hero.
Please tell me that you're not
staying with that name.
Wait.
What? I'm not
I'm a factory worker.
Sure, by day.
I saw you.
You're a hero.
Like, a for-real superhero,
which is
I'm not, like, a groupie,
stalker type, but
My god!
That is so cool!
Okay, okay, chill.
Just don't
don't draw attention.
You're in danger.
You got the wrong guy,
lady.
No, you've got
the wrong approach.
The cute girl from the hospital
is dying to thank you
And possibly "thank" you
And you're hiding.
The clip of you rescuing her
has had the most hits
Since that puppy
with vertigo,
And you can't even
find a job.
What do you mean
about danger?
S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
Shield, what?
I should carry a shield?
S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
Government.
Scary men in dark suits
who come after guys like you.
They knew about
the battle of New York
Before it even happened
And then cleaned it up
Before anyone could ask
any real questions overnight.
How long do you think it'll take
for them to clean you up?
And you want to know
why I'm hiding.
What if you didn't hide?
What if you got
in front of this
And let people know
that you're a hero?
I'm just a guy.
Well, a guy like that
gets work, gets perks.
I can help.
I'm great with computers
like, weirdly great.
I mean, I could help you create
a whole new identity or
A mask.
O-kay.
Ok
Well, you could just also,
we could just stick with the
hood.
Listen, you cannot
walk away from this.
With great power comes
A ton of weird crap that you are
not prepared to deal with.
Now, my office is
You have an office?
Yes, I have an office.
It's a mobile Office.
It's a Van.
I live in a van by choice.
But it's always in the alley
around the corner
Free wi-fi
and you can come by anytime.
Thank you.
They're coming for you.
Mike.
Coulson: Agent May.
No.
So you've been briefed.
I'm not going back
in the field.
Yeah.
You've got
such a nice setup here.
You ever thought
about adding a moat?
I just need you
to drive the bus,
Liaise ground transpo,
some on-site supervision.
This isn't a combat op.
Then you don't need me.
I do.
'Cause we'll be running
ourselves.
Picking the ops
Making the calls.
No red tape.
This is where they actually
make the red tape, isn't it?
I always wondered.
Melinda.
You're really just asking me
to drive the bus?
I'm not asking.
But it's a really nice bus.
Man: You need to know?
Man 2:
Yeah.
Asap, please.
Man 3: That's gonna be on a secondary.
Man 4: Yeah, got it!
whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch it!
That's
the night-night gun.
well, it's on
my stuff, and it doesn't work,
And there's no way we're calling
it the night-night gun.
The bullets work.
Nonlethal,
heavy stopping power,
Break up under
the subcutaneous tissue
With a dose of only
.
1 microliters of Dendrotoxin.
I'm not hermione.
I can't create
instant paralysis with that.
You should have run the specs by me before
building the molds.
The bullets are hollow.
It's a marvel I can keep them from breaking apart
in the chamber.
Or used a higher-caliber round.
Or read a book.
Have you
ever heard of physics or
What's the other one? Inertia?
It's not particularly difficult.
Fitz-Simmons?
Fitz.
Simmons.
I'm engineering.
She's biochem.
Agent Ward?
Coulson said I'd need
my comm receiver encoded.
Don't know if you've worked
with that model before.
It's
Brand-new.
He'll repurpose
the I.
D.
I.
S.
Chip.
Don't need the external receiver
for the inner-ear comms anymore.
So, how does it
Embedded sensorineural silicone
matched to your DNA.
It's very posh.
So, are you excited to be coming
on our journey into mystery?
It's like christmas.
Fitz: One of Coulson's
old S.

I.
E.
L.
D.
Collectibles.
Flamethrowers,
world's first GPS.
He's mad for this crap.
Don't touch Lola.
And he calls it
a girl's name.
Lola's not just a collectible,
you know.
People tend to confuse
the words "new" and "improved.
"
This mobile command,
They were in heavy rotation
back in the '90s,
But then
we got a heli-carrier.
Hey.
Did you hear the one about
the guy who's afraid of flying?
I've done a night jump into a
drop zone under heavy fire, sir.
I can handle it.
That was a Joke.
The first part of a
I'm not
gonna tell it now.
May: If you plan to unpack,
make it quick.
Wheels are up in five.
We may have a hit on one of
The Rising Tide's routing points.
Good.
We need to do
some catching up.
Is that
Who I think it is?
She's just the pilot.
Melinda May
is "just the pilot.
"
Come on, sir.
What game
are you really playing?
Better stow your gear.
Skye:
How will you come at us?
From the air?
From the ground?
How will you silence us
this time?
How can you?
The truth is in the wind.
It's everywhere.
You cannot stop The Rising Tide.
You will not find us.
You will never see our faces.
But rest assured
We will rise against those
who shield us from the truth.
And nothing
nothing can stop us in the
Hey.
What up?
You guys are making
a big mistake.
You don't look that big.
Coulson: Sorry
for the lack of finesse.
Agent Ward here has had a little
history with your group
The Rising Tide.
I don't know
What you're
Okay, there are two ways
we can do this.
Is one of them
the easy way?
No.
What's your name?
Skye.
What's your real name?
That can wait.
It's another name we need
a certain hero.
What makes you think
I know that?
Well, you made
a little mistake.
The phone you filmed
the hooded hero with
Had the same
cryptographic signature
As a few
of The Rising Tide posts.
Wow.
Yeah.
Was that a mistake?
Or am I now sitting
In the center
of your secret headquarters?
What is this?
A plane?
I got inside.
And by now,
you've discovered
You can't beat the encryption
on my equipment,
So you got nothing.
We have a fairly strong
coincidence
You being on the scene
Right before
it went up in flames.
Want to tell me
what my team is gonna find out?
How did you know the hooded man
was in the building?
Did you blow it up
to draw him out?
Did you?
That's not our style.
I was just kidnapped
by your "style.
"
S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
Covered up
New Mexico, Project Pegasus.
Of course you'd be
covering up Centipede.
Holy no way.
You don't know
what that is.
Billions of dollars of equipment
at your disposal,
And I beat you with a laptop
that I won in a bet?
You need to think
about your friend.
We're not the only ones
interested
In people with powers.
We'd like to contain him,
yeah.
The next guy
will want to exploit him,
And the guy after that
will want to dissect him.
What is Centipede?
Yeah, I get it, but
Listen, doctor, people saw me.
They saw what I can do.
If I went public,
that might be good.
I mean, your product works.
It works amazingly, and
Yeah, yeah,
I-I-I know what I signed,
But if we got out
in front of this, maybe
Then what?
You want me to go crawling back
to the factory?
I couldn't even get workmen's
comp from those crooks.
I don't think
Yeah, ye
Doctor, I just thought
Okay.
This was a lab.
Was this leased
as a lab?
Mnh-mnh.
Self-empowerment center.
With a top-of-the-line
motion-sensor security system.
So a secret lab.
And a superhero.
Not a coincidence.
So, was this explosion sabotage?
Was it meant for him?
Or were they just
in over their heads?
Yeah,
working the problem.
Ladies, if you'll just
Sorry.
If you're gonna be in the field,
agent Fitz,
You have to
get your hands dirty.
No, I don't.
Skye: Centipede
it was chatter on the web
And then gone.
I traced the access-point
mac address to that building.
What were you after?
The truth.
What are you after?
World peace.
You pseudo-anarchist hacker
types love to stir things up.
But you're never around
for the fallout.
People keep secrets
for a reason, Skye.
Well, just because
you're reasonable and
Firm
Doesn't mean that you're not
an evil, faceless
Government tool bag.
Just give us
your guy's name.
He's not my guy!
You understand
he's in danger.
Then let me go.
Let me talk to him.
Me, not the T-1000 here.
You want to be alone with him.
Of course.
She's a groupie.
All this hacking into
S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
, tracking powers
She might as well be one
of those sweaty cosplay girls
Crowding around
Stark tower.
What?! I would
It was one time.
Ward.
Is it the girl?
She getting under your skin?
Sir?
Or is it
the assignment?
Are you so anxious
to get out of this
That you'd deliberately
blow an interrogation?
give me a minute alone
with her, you'll have your answers.
She's an asset.
She is such an a
Wait "asset"?
We don't know anything
about her.
Do you appreciate
how often that happens?
That never happens.
We need
What she knows.
See, we designed each
with their own capabilities,
So, um, some recording
The dimensions and textures
of the room,
And then some testing
the matter density, radiation.
I mean, one is basically
just smelling.
Fitz: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I've got something in something.
Who's got it?
Bashful.
Aww.
Surveillance camera.
Deep-fried.
Yes, but that model
Has flash memory in case of brownouts.
Now, I could sync that with data
from the motion detectors
And, with a little luck,
Get some images
from before the blast.
And by "luck," I mean
"unappreciated genius.
"
Yeah, we'll need it.
Snow's reading some compounds
that are
Whoa.
My god.
Explosive?
Not of this earth.
This is QNB-T16.
It's the top-shelf Martini
of Sodium Pentothal derivatives.
It's a brand-new
and extremely potent truth drug.
Don't worry.
The effects
only last about an hour.
And you'll have
a nice little nap.
And we'll have
all the answers to our
Hey!
What the hell?!
I'm sorry.
Did that hurt?
No.
But you've lost
your mind.
You should never do that
to a member of your team.
And, yes,
it did hurt a little bit.
But I always try and mask my
pain in front of beautiful women
'cause I think it makes me
seem more masculine.
My god,
this stuff works fast.
Don't trust us?
Ask him
whatever you'd like.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
You can't just
This is definitely
not protoco
You seem nervous,
agent Ward.
I'm calling to mind
my training.
There's no way I'm gonna reveal
classified secrets
To a girl who's hell-bent
on taking us down.
Have you ever
killed anyone?
Yes, a few.
High-risk targets.
But they were
terrible people
Who were trying
to *** nice people.
And I didn't feel good
afterwards.
And does your grandmother
know about these things?
Gramzy?
My hands are tied, Mike.
It's company policy.
You didn't meet quota.
I had to let you go.
Gary, look, I got no choice.
It's just me and my boy now.
There's no openings, Mike,
and even if there were,
I got a hundred guys standing
in line that are just like you,
Only they won't ***
when their back hurts.
I was injured,
but I'm stronger now.
I can handle
twice the load I used to.
What are you not hearing?
You don't cut it.
When I say I need things moved,
I need
Man: Hey! Hey!
Like that?
Are you
out of your mind?!
Heads up!
These are people, Gary.
Men!
Not parts you replace
when they break.
it's not me, man.
It's the company.
I'm not the bad guy.
I'm not the bad guy,
man.
Yes, you are.
It's simple now,
just like we used to read about.
You're the bad guy.
And I'm the hero.
Coulson: Did agent Ward
give you anything?
He told me he's been to Paris,
but he's never really seen it
And that he wishes
you had stayed in Tahiti.
It's a magical place.
Ward doesn't like
your style.
Kind of think I do.
What about his?
Remains
in critical condition.
Employees could not identify
the attacker,
But security footage confirms
That this man assaulted
the factory foreman
Before damaging
thousands of dollars' worth
Of company property.
This is wrong.
This is not The guy I met.
He was
With us here on KZQM25.
He just needs a break.
Then give him one.
What have you got?
Coulson:
Michael Peterson
Factory worker,
married, one kid.
Gets injured, gets laid off.
Wife jumps ship.
Good guy, bad breaks.
Best guess is,
somebody tells him
They can make him strong again,
make him super.
Who has the tech
to do that?
And why would they
want to?
Fitz, what do we have
from the security footage
Before the blast?
What are we seeing?
Well, the man is angry
at the other man.
The data
is very corrupt.
Yeah, like cold war Russia corrupt.
Yeah.
I-I can't sync the timecode
without
What if
you had the audio?
I was Running surveillance
on the lab.
I had my shotgun mic pointed at
the window before the blast.
The digital file's
in my van.
There's too much
background noise for me,
But y could probably you
can clean that up, can't you?
Find a sync point and use
cross-field validation
To find but I can't scrub
for expression patterns
When the vit-c is all well, is
there a Chrominance subcarrier?
Yeah, attached
to the back porch.
Brilliant.
Um, that audio would be great.
Thank you very, very much.
We will take that audio, please.
Your van's here,
but you were right
We couldn't decrypt
the files.
The encryption's
coupled to the GPS.
Get my van back to that alley,
and then I'm in business.
Agent May will escort you.
And on your way out,
wake up Ward.
Woman on P.
A.
: Volunteer
services to oncology 1.
Volunteer services
to oncology 1.
You're
Wow.
You're Him.
I'm glad
you're doing okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
They're beautiful.
What the hell
are you doing here?
I don't know where to go,
doctor.
Everything's getting
I-I know what's right.
I do.
But no one
will listen to me.
I volunteered because
you said things would change.
And You said
you could keep it together.
Our first subject
lost it
Walked into the lab
with a fricking bomb.
I'm not like him.
Well, tell that to your foreman
in the I.
C.
U.
I saved you.
You exposed me!
You exposed the program.
The people
who gave me this technology
They are very serious,
And they do not
want to be revealed.
Mike Peterson
needs to disappear.
You're right.
I'm not him anymore.
I'm someone else now.
Please.
You're juiced, Mike.
And you're losing it,
just like the last guy.
This is a disaster.
No.
It's an origin story.
Audio file
should be coming through.
It's not compressed,
so it might take a minute.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm getting it.
So,
when when you get back,
I'll show you my thing.
A thing.
It's not
I-it's my hardware.
My equipment.
Let's Hang up.
So, the alien metal
wasn't the explosive?
Well, I assumed
from the break pattern
And dispersion
that it was,
But it's just dripping
with gamma radiation and
Now it's actually dripping.
Fun.
So, what did that get us?
Skye's sending us the rest of her
decrypted files on Centipede.
But we have her audio.
I've loaded it up.
Nice work.
now,
using motion estimation,
Bayesian inference,
a beam splitter,
And a little
diffraction theory,
Our mystery man
Appears.
It's like magic.
But it's it's science.
Ward:
Explosives in the case?
To please calm down.
Just let me check your vitals.
I feel fine.
I want to feel more.
Where's the doctor?
Where is she?!
I-if you don't settle down,
I-I'll have you sedated.
Where is she?!
Wait.
Did you
did you see that on his arm?
Coulson: What does that
look like to you?
A Centipede.
It's an intravenous filter
for his blood.
This goo, sir
very similar to the serum
Dr.
Erskine developed
in the '40s for the
Super soldiers.
I'm reading alien metal,
gamma radiation, the serum
Every known source of superpower
thrown in a blender.
We need to see
the origin of the blast.
Run it back
from the last point recorded.
That should do it.
Let's head back.
All right, let me
just
Mike.
What are you doing?
Saving you.
From the scary men
in dark suits.
- And you're gonna help save us.
- "us"?
Don't cry.
Okay?
Stay strong for me, Ace.
What are we?
We're a team.
That's right.
Now drive.
Extremis.
It's new.
Completely unstable.
Poor man
didn't bring an explosive.
And Mike has the same stuff
in his system.
And judging by
his strength level, a lot more.
So any minute now,
Mike is gonna
He'll take out anyone
within a two-block radius.
Well
You wanted a bomb.
Simmons: Sir?
He didn't explode
because he was angry.
The two are connected.
It it's kind of
a chemical surge.
But calming him down
will buy him a minute at most.
He will detonate
within the next few hours.
Solution?
Isolate him,
get him away from people.
Or?
Put a bullet
through his brain.
If he's dead, this irradiated
metabolic process will stop.
We need to come up with
a third option
One that doesn't involve
Mike's son losing a father.
We have a couple of hours
at most.
There's no way
that we could possibly
Don't ever tell me
there's no way!
It's on you.
Get it done.
May?
He took Skye.
You all right?
We'll deal with that later
at length.
Right now, we need to figure out
where they went.
How long
is this gonna take?
This is top speed.
Trust me.
It's not like
I'm deleting a facebook page.
I'm bypassing
the license bureau's
A.
E.
S.
-Protected
data stream.
So chill.
How do I know
you can really do this?
I've done it before.
Come on.
Give me more paralysis.
less rigor mortis!
Come on!
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
Just pretend
it's an exam.
We're taking an exam.
An exam yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't want an "F.
"
"F" equals a massacre.
Whoa.
No!
What is this nonsense?
Why are you making nonsense?!
This isn't me!
It's noise.
Someone's hacking
our secure channel.
It's longitude
and latitude.
Mike took Skye.
She's telling us where.
Mike: We'll take the nice lady
with us.
We we we can't go
to the airport,
So we'll
we'll take a train.
And there, she'll
she'll help us start over,
Make a new life
A better life,
like I always said.
Look at this place.
You're gonna risk thousands
of lives over some nobody.
Nobody's nobody, Ward.
Fitz-Simmons
will come through.
mr.
Peterson, good morning.
We're not a threat.
We're here to help.
But you're in danger,
and we need to take you in.
What did you do?!
Man: Whoa! Get down!
Come on.
Come on.
Woman on P.
A.
: Please return
to check-in counter.
Yeah, we won't.
You're right
he is a little ***.
Yo, get him! Get him!
Ace, get back!
Get out the way, man!
Come on! Come on, now!
aah!
Ace!
Man: Tell dispatch we'll need backup!
Man 2:
I don't know.
Just go.
Just keep going
to the other side.
you need to get inside.
Hey.
Let's get him out of here.
I want my daddy.
I promise.
Woman: Come on, honey.
Ace!
Ace!
Look the stuff inside you
is unstable.
It'll kill you
and everyone in here.
Who's gonna miss us?!
Man: Come on! Get inside!
We're at the north entrance,
May.
You told them
to hold fire.
I don't think that's us.
We may have
a third party here.
He's gonna head down
to the tracks.
You stay high.
I'll go low.
Only take the shot
if you have to, Ward.
Ward!
If I have to.
You got to stop!
These people
can help you.
The men in suits?
They're your buddies now?
Where did they take
my son?!
Get down!
Think
that means anything?
I know you got men everywhere
waiting to put me down.
I know
how this plays out.
I don't.
I know you got poison
in your system.
I know
it's burning you up.
Mike, the last guy
who wore that exploded.
I'm not like that other guy.
I'm
It matters who I am
inside, if I'm a good person,
If I'm strong.
I have a clear shot.
Do you copy?
I know you're strong.
Your boy knows it.
He needs you
to let us help.
You took him!
you took
my wife, my job, my house.
You think
this is killing me?!
All over, there's people
being pushed down, being robbed.
One of them
tries to stand up,
You got to make an example
out of him.
You bring this building down
on us, will that help them?
That's a lie!
All you do is lie!
You said
if we worked hard
If we did right
We'd have a place.
You said it was enough
to be a man.
But there's better
than man.
There's gods.
And the rest of us
What are we?
They're giants.
We're what they step on.
I know.
I've seen giants
up close.
And that privilege
cost me
Nearly everything.
But the good ones
The real deal
They're not heroes because of
what they have that we don't.
It's what they do
with it.
You're right, Mike.
It matters who you are.
I could, you know?
Be a hero.
I'm counting on it.
Coulson:
Subject is in stable condition.
All clear at Union Station.
come on.
Hey.
Come on.
I told him
his father was coming home.
He will.
We have some experience
with this.
He almost blew.
We almost died.
We have some experience
with that, too.
Don't have it all
mapped out.
True.
We didn't cut off
the head of the Centipede.
Whoever sponsored that little
experiment is still out there,
Among other things.
It's a brave new world.
And a really old car.
Lola can keep up.
What about you?
Have you thought
about the offer?
Hitching a ride
on the crazy plane?
I'm not exactly
a team player.
We're not exactly
a team.
But we're in a position
to do some good.
You'd be a great help.
And you'd be front row center
at the strangest show on earth,
Which is, after all,
what you wanted.
I was able to hack S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
From my van.
You're gonna show me
something new?
go.
Sir, we've got an 0-8-4.
Is that confirmed?
They want us to go in
and confirm it.
What's an 0-8-4?
You've got
exactly 10 minutes
To decide
if you really want to know.
There's no way we can make it
to the airfield in
The tide is rising.
