Previously on "marvel's
agents of s.H.I.E.L.D."...

You made some mistakes
in your gameplay.

You don't even know
the game I'm playing.

Remember this?

Yeah, from
the castle chamber.
Okay.

What if the group

Who carved this symbol
into the chamber door

Is the same group that sent will
through the portal?

I've only killed
those who deserve it.

Who the hell made you judge,
jury, and executioner?

If we put andrew
in stasis as a human,

It'll slow
his transformation,

Giving us more time
to find a cure.

I wanted to apologize

For missing our meeting
at norad.

I will bring him to you
soon enough.

Time is of the essence.

I'll be in touch.

how about
some breakfast?

The octopus is one of the great
symbols of hydra --

Supremely intelligent,
highly adaptable,

And they are
ruthless killers.

A nearly perfect predator.

Same can 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.

Well, that depends
on your request.

You're one of the last heads
of hydra's old guard.

Thanks in no small part
to you.

You should be thanking me.

I trimmed the fat
from your ranks.

You weren't
just trimming the fat

Going after
the von strucker boy.

You were digging.

And I know what
you were hoping to find.

You're chasing rumors,
ghosts.

The von strucker family vault
does not exist.

Truthfully,
I'd believe you

If you hadn't sacrificed
the only heir to it.

And you control
the vault now, right?

That vault is said to have
hydra's greatest power.

Why don't you and I put it
to good use?

Hydra is a complicated
organization,

And I don't have time
to give you a history lesson.

I do have some
long-standing plans

That are finally
coming together,

And your simple
vendetta...

Doesn't currently
fit in with them.

I will find that vault.

You're a smart predator.

But you don't live
on top of the food chain.

Okay.

Well-fought.

So, malick wanted
me slaughtered,

Which means
I'm on the right track.

See, I know where the vault is.

Just don't know how to get in.

Which creates a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

For anyone who has
accompanied him there.

We're not helping you.

Well, then...

Who's on the bottom
of the food chain now?

That's the compound we used
to tranquilize andrew.

Those tanks should be enough
to keep him sedated if need be.

Tell me we're doing
the right thing.

We are.

He'll be put in stasis,
held in human form,

Before that thing
can completely take him over.

And the cure
you're working on?

We're throwing
everything we can at it.

He was one
of the good ones -- is.

I know he was a friend.
You're doing all you can.

We'll keep you up to speed
on everything we do.

Maybe you should come to
the base in the next day or so,

Talk me through it.

Anyone gonna talk to her?

She'll talk
when she's ready.

Hey, stop.
Stop. Stop.

Okay, just go before you drop
another priceless manuscript.

Why don't you go deface
a picasso or something?

Fitz, what are you doing?
They're all idiots.

Be nice.

Sorry.
Well-meaning idiots.

It's been a rough day.

You brought in
all these books?

every volume

On symbolic anthropology
and iconography I could find.

Hopefully it matches,
um...

...This.

It's the ram's head symbol.

I think will's distant star
pathfinder program

Hid it in the logo.

About 200 years after
the group studying the monolith

Chiseled it into the floor
of the castle.

Yeah.
No coincidence there.

if we get lucky,

Tracing its origin
could give us

Some sort of insight
into how to save...

Sorry.

Just feel so bad for may.

I don't know
how you get over that.

She's been giving me
the hate stare since I got here.

I had to sleep with one eye open
last night.

But you slept.

Yeah, for the first time
in a long time.

I've been running
long enough to appreciate

A secret underground base
no one knows about,

Even if you all live
on top of each other
like keebler elves.

It's one roof, but it's big.
Lots of space.

Not that you need
to keep your space.

I know.

Uh...I'm sorry I moved in.

I hope it's not weird.
Weird?

We kissed.
That happened.

Do we need
to talk about it?

Nope.
We do not need to.

Why don't we just see
what happens?

Will that happen again?

Planning takes the fun
out of it.

Plus, you know,

You'll have tougher decisions
to face, right?

You can't just stay here.

Coulson only lets people
in the base

Who have a role
in his game plan.

I feel like
you're gonna tell me

I didn't make
little league all-stars.

It's rosalind, sir.

I know you two
have grown closer,

And I'm concerned
that maybe you might, uh...

Um, maybe you two...

You can say it.

Are you sleeping
together?

That's none
of your business.

I'm sorry to press, sir,
but I need to know.

Do you have feelings for her,
or are you playing an angle?

Again, not your business.

But you really think
I'm that guy?

If not,
then it is my business,

Because now you're bringing her,
the head of the atcu,

Into our hidden base.

Easy, mack.

I like roz.

Whether she can be trusted --
yet to be determined.

How is that
not a deal breaker?

Because the only spies
without trust issues

Are either young or dead.

I hope I can trust roz.
I want to.

That's why I'm bringing her here
face-to-face --

So I can look her in the eye
and find out.

Meanwhile, the rest of you
will have to go behind her back.

Today, we're launching
operation spotlight.

The objective --

To peer into every shadowy
corner of the atcu.

The last few days
have been hard.

What happened with dr. Garner
is tragic,

But it has also created

A rare moment of opportunity
for us.

The atcu brought
dr. Garner's containment module

Into their research facility.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Is going to use
that as a way to gain access.

Going in on the ground
will be bobbi and hunter.

Quarterbacking from zephyr one
will be daisy and mack.

Handling extraction --
may and...
Him.

Okay.

I guess the new guy
will gain a firsthand look

Of our operations
with agent may.

Let me be clear.

I want to know everything --
what's inside the facility,

How close they are to this cure
they've been working on,

Which inhumans they're holding
and where they came from,

And finally, what it is the atcu
actually wants with them.

Questions?
- Yeah.

Why now?

Because I think the head of
the atcu finally trusts me.

I'd like that feeling
to be mutual.

Let's get to work.

that answer
your concerns?

Just raises all new ones.

You've kept quiet.
I admire that.

These babies burn
up to 2,600 degrees.

I was a bit of a pyro
when I was a kid.

Got me into some real trouble.

But damn if I don't love
the sound of that gas igniting.

You have to incorporate
what you love into your work.

You see, the trick is,

You want them to know
it's gonna hurt.

Build anticipation.

But you have to let them
imagine a better world.

You could walk
into strucker's vault with me.

You just have to show me how.

We can go in there together,
share what we find.

You can torch us all you want.
There's nothing to tell.

He uses different people
when he travels to zepkow.

And even they don't know
where the vault's buried.

Zepkow. Germany.

I lied.

Strucker has many vaults.

I know them all.

Just didn't know zepkow
was the one I needed.

Be proud.
You stayed quiet.

You would've fit in good
with my men.

Miss price...

...Welcome to s.H.I.E.L.D.

Not exactly running things

Out of your mom's basement,
are we?

Did you give it
a slick code name?

Classified.
But to me, it's home.

That's cute.

Almost as cute

As flying me in circles
for six hours on a plane.

I don't know if I'm in
albuquerque or albania.

Imagine the possibilities.
And be flattered.

I waived our usual
blindfold protocol.

Oh, don't say you're going soft,
director.

Then again,

Completely disabled my phone
for the entire flight.

Couldn't even check
my fantasy-football scores.

Such cruelty.

I can reactivate the phone,

But we'll need to sweep
for wireless sniffers first.

Two words I never want
to hear again.

Go for it, cowboy.

You left your
intelligence-gathering phone

At your apartment,
didn't you?

I almost didn't,
but I thought it might be rude.

Please.
We expect nothing less.

Incoming data upload
from rosalind's phone.

Okay.

Let's wake up
the atcu I.T. Asap.

Oh, yeah.
That's my favorite episode.

I mean, darlene was set up
perfectly --

Every word she said.
Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Did you see that?

What was that?

Did you just hack
the atcu?

No, but the containment module

Broadcasts some pretty intense
encrypted homing signals.

You put it inside
a corporate office,

And it'll wig the I.T.
Department out real good.

Fbi cyber
investigative task force.

How may I help you,
mr., uh, wilson?

What exactly
is going on over there?

Well, multiple agency servers

Have been attacked
in the last few minutes,

And the traffic
traces back to your ips.

We've already, uh, dispatched

A rapid-response unit
to your location.

Please, just cooperate fully.
Should be fine.

I can assure you,
they're our absolute best.

Listen, agent phillips,

Our systems check out perfectly,
okay?

We're showing
no signs of a breach.

I don't think
you'll be necessary here.

I think
that it was a glitch.

a glitch, yeah.

Of course it looks
like a glitch.

That's the point.

You congratulate yourself,
crisis averted, then go home,

Never noticing
the polymorphic root kit

Buried deep inside
your system...

Until hackers
activate it to...

Bypass that sweet,
stateless multi...

Factor authentication...

Code you are
so bloody proud of.

Red sox fan?

Red coats, actually.

This guy does not look
like fbi.

He wasn't.

Dane here crashed
the pentagon servers,

Mossad's, ashley madison.

He's the best consultant
we have.

Otherwise, he'd be in jail
or I'd have shot him by now.

If he says that you have
a problem, listen.

Our system's airtight.

Well, if your system's
so secure,

How'd your staff's credentials
leak out?

What?

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.

There's no way
someone got past our software.

Who said anything
about software?

We think hardware
was smuggled in.

You called, detecting
some sort of broadcast?

The atcu security
is way too strong.

Was nothing brought into this
facility in the last 24 hours?

No. Our employee's keys
don't make it past security.

We haven't brought in anything,
except the, uh...

Oh, no.

I need to make
a phone call.

We've had some major
breakthroughs here --

Advances in alien biology,
robotics, prosthetics.

Well, it cuts
a hell of a silhouette.

You know,
they mostly got it right.

So you did reactivate it.

Hello, I.T. Department

That calls me
only when there's a problem.

What's the problem?

There's an fbi
task force here.

An energy pulse
was detected inside our facility

Right before, um...
An apparent security leak.

Have you found the cause?

Well, ma'am,
I think it could be

The s.H.I.E.L.D. Containment
module we brought in.

Dearest, is it possible
that your containment module

Tried to access
the atcu's system?

Absolutely.

It scans any local network
it finds.

All our hardware does.

Well, we noticed,

And we're gonna have to go ahead
and shut that down.

Can't blame a guy
for trying.

Hey, steve,

You're supposed to protect
the atcu from things like this.

So play nice with the fbi's
task force, and fix it.

You're lucky you're cute.

We really have to figure out
other ways to flirt.

Are you alphabetizing those?

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm organizing them
by subject and date.

No, you're procrastinating.

Is there something so terrible
about a comprehensive system?

Why don't you want
to go look into one of --
I've been looking.

I just don't like
what I'm seeing.

You found a lead?

Will wasn't sent
on a mission.

He was sacrificed.

The symbol used
for his space program?

Tied to ritualistic
blood sacrifice.

People working with nasa.

Between this and andrew,

I have that sinking feeling
again, fitz...

That we never really know
who's next to us.

thank you.

These should keep me warm.

This gonna get you
in trouble?

Up here,
I control everything.

Always?

You ever find yourself
completely out of control?

I'll be in moscow soon enough
with a day off.

Come see for yourself.

I wish I could,
but I'm not going to moscow.

This was the only flight
I could find

Passing over zepkow.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Please return to your seats,

And keep
your seatbelts fastened.

You may experience
some turbulence coming up.

Don't be alarmed.

That's just your pilot diving
to equalize cabin pressure

Before you freeze to death.

Oh, and, uh...From all of us
here at hydra,

Thanks for flying
the friendly skies.

These symbols trace back
thousands of years --

Groups obsessed with death
and ritualistic killings.

It's intertwined with the origin
of pagan devil myths.

And then, suddenly,
there they were,

Secretly funding
nasa missions.

They knew something.

These texts go back
1,000 years.

Fitz, there's nothing in here
to help open the portal.

Of course there is.

No, it's just copious examples
of how this group was evil

And used will
as a blood offering.

But if we can find out
their goal,

We can find out how they tried
to achieve it.

Even if we have
to stay up all night,

We'll find something --

Something to help us
bring back will.

You have to stop.

Excuse me?

Stop. Just stop trying
to do all the right things.

It's too much.

Is this a silver
tie-clip camera?

Platinum.
1963.

Wow. You really are
a s.H.I.E.L.D. Lifer.

I bet there's a story
behind each one of these

That I'd love to hear.

I have a real soft spot
for that golden age.

They recruit you
out of college?

Mm-hmm.

Studying...
History.

I started to inadvertently
uncover how much of that history

S.H.I.E.L.D. Had helped
to shape,

So they snatched me up.

So, you've really never known
anyone in s.H.I.E.L.D.?

I find that
hard to believe.

Only in passing.

Come on.
You can tell me if you have.

I'm the director.
You're inside our secret base.

You know,
I hate to disappoint you, phil,

But until recently,

I was in the normal
intelligence game,
not paranormal.

You're my first.

Hmm.

You know, I got to admit.

I didn't picture
you keeping things so analog.

Yeah, files, book, vinyl.

There's a tactile benefit --

The way they feel in your hands,
the wear and tear.

Oh, the smell.
Ah.

I love the smell of books.

Helps me think.

besides, we both know

How vulnerable the digital world
is to infiltration.

So sorry, steve-o.

Nothing worse for an I.T. Guy

Than someone
logging into a terminal.

Makes you feel violated,
doesn't it?

How do we know he's not just
looking for exploits

To get into our system when it
goes back to being a black hat?

Oh, there's no going back
for dane.

But I am here
to find the exploits,

And I'm gonna need a log-in
to determine if...

The trojan horse hardware
emitted a signal pulse

That allows access...

To your udp or tcp ports,
mate.

Have you checked that yet?

You can use a command prompt
to enter a guest username.

And unwittingly give us
remote access.

Okay, hunter,
type this in --

"c," colon, forward slash,
"system",

Forward slash,
"request user."

Hunter.
Oh, god. Hunter.

Please tell me you know
which one is forward slash.

Yes. Typing.

I'm just helping
your sluggish code keep up.

Hilarious.

And the username.

Username --
"god save the queen."

Yeah, I let him pick it.

Bingo.

May, you're up.

Agent may said she wants
you with her on this, yeah?

Yeah.

Well, then,
I suggest you move your ass.

All right.
There.

Bobbi,
enhanced specimen control --

North, stairs at the end
of the hall,

Three floors down
in the science division.

Ringing your phone now.

hmm.

My superiors
on pennsylvania avenue.

I need to step away for a moment
to give them my full report.

Okay.

Check that section.

See how many inhumans
they're keeping in there.

And grab any samples
of the potential cure.

Now all hunter has to do
is run his mouth and waste time.

Oh, he excels at that.

Daisy?

Thank you.

Here?

So, you need me
to do anything?

Why bring me if you're not
even gonna talk to me?

Where do you get off?

Are you seriously mad at me?

I'm mad at myself
for roping you into this.

It's not fair.

And I'm mad that
you're so willing to help.

As opposed to what?

What do you expect?

I don't know.
Get angry.

I cannot fathom
any way out of this

Without hurting
someone I care about.

You think
that I'm not angry?!

I'm sick to my stomach.

I'm furious,
but not at you.

'cause we're cursed.

The bloody cosmos
wants us to be apart.

The cosmos
doesn't want anything.

Yeah, well,
I beg to differ.

'cause we had years
side-by-side.

Never occurred to us.

And then when it does,

We don't have the courage
to talk about it.

Well, you only mentioned it
at the bottom of the sea,

Facing certain death.
You wait until I'm bound

For a war
on an aircraft carrier,

And then you get swept off
to some far-flung planet.

With him.

Top-marks
pilot astronaut hero man.

I would do anything --

Do you love him?

I don't know.

I think...

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, of course you do.
Of course you do.

He's strong and smart,

And you gave each other hope
on the edge of nowhere.

Don't do this, fitz.

You think I didn't look
for dirt on him?

I did.
And there's nothing.

I can't hate him.
He's great.

Why else would you fall for him?
He did everything right.

and you dove

Through a hole in the universe
for me!

We're cursed.

Fitz, is that what
I think it is?

Andrew was a phd in psychology.

Now he's a specimen.

Open sesame.

Dr. Garner,
I'm so sorry about everything.

No one warned me
there'd be a flight.

Who are you?

I'm gideon malick.

I advise
the president's staff,

And I want to assure you that
we're working with s.H.I.E.L.D.

To do everything we can
to help you.

With what? A cure?

I know how
pharmaceuticals work.

What are you?
A decade away from treatment?

It strikes me
that no one's asked

If you even want
treatment.

They haven't asked

Your opinion on the situation
at all, have they?

No.

But, then,
all they see is a killer.

Well, surely, you have taken
a hard stance,

But, then, this is an invading
alien contagion

Which s.H.I.E.L.D. Has known
about for quite some time.

They protected no one --
including you.

There's more nuance
to s.H.I.E.L.D. Than that.

Why worry about them?

S.H.I.E.L.D. Has good intentions
but questionable methods.

That much is true.

They can't help themselves

From jumping into the deep end
of dangerous waters.

We agree
on more than we don't.

I can help you,
dr. Garner.

But first,
I need to know what else

S.H.I.E.L.D. Has been hiding
from us.

Andrew isn't here.

Guys, are you sure
this is the right area?

That's the place.

Well, there are no inhumans
being held here.

Let coulson know.

And as far as a cure,

It doesn't look like
they're taking tissue samples,

Studying cell response.

Not in here, anyway.

If they're not working
on a cure in there,

Then what are they doing?

Wait.

Daisy, anything on medications

They've compiled for study?

Because I'm not positive,
but those look

An awful lot like
fish-oil pills.

I'll look.

There's no better time
to be a hacker, really.

I mean, nowadays,
every human on the planet --

Kids have computers
in their pockets, you know?

Instead of stealing candy
from a baby,

You're stealing their parents'
credit-card information.

Okay, I'm gonna grab
some coffee.

Mm-hmm.

I'll have a cup of tea,
please.

Thanks.

Oh, bollocks.

Uh, people,

It's time to download everything
we can and make our getaway.

Our friend mr. Banks
has just showed up,

And I do not have a handkerchief
to cover my face...

And that would be weird,
anyhow.

Copy that.

They're not studying medication,
bobbi.

They're administering them,

Giving mandatory supplements
to all their employees.

"to prevent infection" --
uh, soldiers, office workers.

And it says,
"any public witnesses."

Oh, no.

They're playing the odds,

Giving terrigen
to as many people as they can.

They're not trying
to cure inhumans, they're --

They're turning them.

Hmm.

Do you expect me to stay
in this room overnight, phil?

'cause I might need
a little persuading.

No, it's you who needs
to convince me.

Convince you?

That you're not hydra.

Otherwise, you're never
leaving this room again.

What the hell are you doing,
phil?

Getting the truth out of you
once and for all.

Is this a joke?

I'm not laughing.

What, you think
there's some hidden secret

You can just scare out of me?

I have my people
infiltrating your facility.

I'm getting the truth
regardless,

So this is your final chance
to come clean.

They won't find anything out

That I wouldn't happily
tell them.

What's wrong with you?
Stop lying.

Why don't you tell me
who you really are,

Who you work for,
and what you're hiding?

What the hell is wrong with you?
Look at you.

I'm done playing games.
I wasn't playing games.

I thought...

I thought there was something
between us --

Something real

That wasn't just based in this
spycraft-manipulation crap.

You really think this emotional
appeal's gonna work right now?

No, because you have
no emotions.

This was all a plan?

To sleep with me, gain trust,
and take advantage?

Don't try to talk
your way out of this.

Or even sadder,

You didn't plan
to sleep with me,

But you just have
such deep issues

That you stopped trusting me
as soon as you did.

You lied to me.

Andrew isn't being kept
at your atcu facility, is he?

Of course not.

Are you torturing me?

Is that the idea?

Drag me around, waiting for
the other shoe to drop?

I know how dangerous you are.

But if you blame me for bringing
out the monster in that man,

I'm not apologizing
for that.

I've been trying
to figure out what to say,

Because I do want
to apologize...To you.

For andrew.

He killed your friends
in cold blood,

Tried to kill you.

I'm sorry.

I should've known.

I should be thanking you

For being willing to put those
bullets in him when you did.

May, bobbi and hunter
may need extraction

Sooner than we thought.

Can't charm my way
out of this one.

Hunter, I'm gonna need you
to get down here,

And bring me my briefcase.

Hunter?

Almost finished?

Uh, yeah, things have got really
complicated in here just now.

Um, listen, steve,
you seem like a really good guy,

And you were spot-on about
not being able to trust me,

Just wrong about why.

See, I'm not very good
at computers.

Aah!

Now, now, now!

Gonna need that briefcase!

Coming as fast as I can,
love.

Of course we don't keep inhumans
at that facility.

We can't risk
some duplicitous nut case

Breaking in to look around.

Looks like we made
the right move.

You're always one step ahead.
I feel like an idiot

That I thought
you were different.

Stop with the mind games.

I'll admit, you're good.

Pretending to fall for me --

Well enough that I actually
went along for the ride.

But in the back of my mind,

I always had one finger
on the eject button.

That's because you're incapable
of anything else.

No.

Because you slipped up.

Tahiti.

The first time we met,

You tried to get under my skin,
talking about tahiti.

So I was hoping
against all hope

That today,
you would confirm

A high-level source
from within s.H.I.E.L.D.,

But you claim
you have none.

That's because
I've been honest.

The only other possible way
that you could know about that

Is if you got your intel
from hydra.

So why don't you share
your source?

I'm not sharing anything
with you anymore.

I didn't think so.

Except for this.
You know what?

To be honest,
I did fall for you, phil.

I did.

But it turns out
you're impenetrable.

You like to joke about your
robot hand and not being human.

I'm not sure
you're so off the mark.

Yeah, that means a lot
coming from you.

You were stabbed
through the heart.

You must derive
sadistic pleasure

In doing the same
to others.

At least I didn't use
the story of my dead husband

To sell the idea that the atcu
was working on a cure

When we both know
that's a lie.

How dare you mention --

Oh, cut the melodrama.

My agent at the center
of your compound confirmed

That you're not trying
to cure inhumans.

You're making
as many as you can.

What are you talking about?

"enhanced specimen control."

They're inside, roz,
so you know what they found.

No.

No one's allowed on those floors
for risk of infection.

Intentional infection.

I got to admit,

Handing out the contaminant
as a cure --

No, that's not what we --
that's especially sinister.

No, I get weekly reports fr--
from malick.

Excuse me?

Gideon malick.

I know the name.
Industrialist.

He once served
on the world council.

He's a friend.

I've worked with him
more than a decade.

He advises
the president's staff,

Helped design the atcu,
oversees the science...Division.

He gave me the tahiti intel.

Connection's down.

Look.
Last file we pulled --

A catalog of all the inhumans
they turned and put into stasis.

But --
let me guess.

They didn't put them all
in stasis.

Well, once again,
too little and too late.

I'll remind you that we're
basically the same height.

I just don't wear
bloody heels.

Aliens.

I pine for the days

Where we didn't fight
bloody aliens.

It's just not
a fair fight.

let's see if we can level
the playing field.

Really?

Your batons?
That's your game-changer?

Well, all right, then.

Let me make a call
to my people.
Your people?

Yeah, I don't see that
happening.

If malick went
to these lengths,

Your agents
are in serious danger.

I can get them out.
Or sell them out.

Phil, look at me.

Please believe that I don't know
what's going on.

We need answers --
both of us.

And if you don't let me
get on the phone right now,

We lose everything.

Well, that'll buy us
very little time.

Come with me.
I'll get you out of here.

If you're worried
you can't trust me,
worry on the move.

He'll lead them
to the northwest parking lot.

You hear that?

May is en route.

I don't see them.

Got them.

I'm hardly ever impressed.

I've shaken hands
with presidents,

Held technology
from other planets --

Didn't really faze me.

But I got to tell ya,
I'm at a loss for words.

You left me to die.

I left those men there
to kill ya,

But you --
you cut through them like cake.

And to locate this place,
much less get here?

Phew!

I only got here
a few minutes before you,

And I have my own jet.

This was all just a test?

No, I wanted you dead.

You pose a legitimate threat
to everything that I've built.

But now...

Now I'm beginning to think
that maybe I was looking at it

From the wrong angle.

You just might be
hydra's second head

That's grown
right next to me.

I should kill you.

Then you'd miss that history
lesson we've been talking about.

I know you're all about
rebooting hydra and all that.

But do you know much about
our history, our origin?

Yeah.

World war ii.

Red skull used nazi funding
to build this whole --

oh, no, no.

Red skull was following

The principal
that hydra was built upon,

That the ultimate power
was not of this world.

But hydra...Well, we're much,
much older than that.

Hydra's actually as ancient
as this stone.

This one here and other
surviving stones like it

Have been passed down
for 100 generations.

Keep your eye on it,
mr. Ward.

You don't want to miss it
when it does its thing.

This was cut
from a much larger stone,

A monolith that possesses
otherworldly properties.

Literally.

It's a portal
to another world.

He recruited me in '01.

I met him when his company was
consulting on a program at --

At nasa.

Yes, how did you...

Thousands of years ago,

An inhuman was born
on this planet

That was destined to rule it,

So powerful, so fearsome

That others were consumed
with dread,

And so they banished it
from the earth,

Sent it through the portal
to a distant planet.

Hydra was founded

With the sole purpose
of engineering its return.

Over generations,
hydra's taken different shapes.

The entity has been given
different names.

But every generation has sent
men through the portal,

Hoping to save
or at least serve

Our leader
on the other side.

Now we're building
an army

For it to command
when it returns,

And you and I
will rule beside it.

Okay.

That's, uh...
A lot to take in.

well, it's a tall tale.

I know.

And why exactly
should I believe a word of it?

Because we're closer than ever
to the final chapter.

We're gonna write it
ourselves.

But you don't
have to believe me.

I know you want revenge,

To cut the head
off of s.H.I.E.L.D.,
to watch it writhe.

I'll help you do that.

And in return?

You'll help me learn
how s.H.I.E.L.D. Was able

To achieve something
with the portal

That hydra,
in thousands of years,

Has never been able
to accomplish.

And what is that?

They brought someone back.

Hey!

Hey.

Someone want
to fill me in?

How long are you gonna
keep me in here

Without any idea
of what's going on?

No, no, no, no, no, no!

I don't need
to be sedated anymore.

I just -- I just --
I need to talk to someone

About what's going on.

All right.

Let's talk.

I could use
a session with you, doc.

I seem to be carrying around
a lot of baggage these days.

It's nice
to finally meet you.

My name is grant --
I know who you are.

What are you doing here?

Learning.

Spent a good few days
educating myself.

Now we get to learn
about you.

You feeling powerful
behind this glass?

Well, you're gonna die --
with a hole in your chest.

You can try to sedate me,
but I promise --

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, this isn't the sedation
compound from s.H.I.E.L.D.

This is chloroethyl sulfide...
Something.

It's, uh,
basically mustard gas.

You see, s.H.I.E.L.D. Showed us
how to turn the monster off.

Now we want to know
how to turn that back on.

oh, uh,
I also wanted to thank you

For helping me
find closure.

You see,
I thought I knew

All the best ways
to bring melinda pain.

But you...

May thinks I'm a monster,
but you actually become one.

Aah!

Guess we know her type.
