All language subtitles for Marvels.Agents.of.S.H.I.E.L.D.S05E01-E02.HDTV.x264-SV

Previously on "Marvel's
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."...

We were all in the Framework together.

We all lost ourselves in there.

No, this is my fault...

Aida, the LMDs, all the deaths.

Those aren't on
S.H.I.E.L.D. Those are on me.

If there's a price to pay,

we pay it together.

Amen.

Anybody else hungry?

I'm not saying we're
definitely gonna get locked up,

but if we are,

wouldn't mind grabbing
a bite to eat first.

- Phillip J. Coulson.
- Yep.

The window closes in
less than two minutes.

Take them.

Haven't done one of these in a while.

You?

My wife thinks

that I'm at a friend's
house for our fantasy draft.

Doesn't even occur to her

that we're in the middle of the season.

Doesn't even occur her.

We left one sitting at the counter, sir.

Yeah. Not on the list.

And the coat pockets.
Clean it up, please.

Watch the clock.

The moment is fast
approaching, everybody.

Is everyone all right?

Yeah, I think so.

Are you out of your skull?

What the hell are you doing,
blowing the damn window?

I... It's called improvisation.

You suicidal? Do you
want to be a vacancy?

I couldn't see another
way to kill that thing.

We're safe now, okay? Quit howling.

The other guy I hired isn't safe.

He's frozen in the vacuum of space.

Yeah, well, I'll take his cut, too.

Relax. You can keep his rations.

- Hi.
- What in the hell?!

Don't shoot. Thanks.

Oh, my God.

My God, you're here.

That I'm slowly figuring out.

Sorry, I-I think I might
be a little confused.

Disoriented, of course.
It's quite a journey.

I didn't know how you traveled here,

but I knew it wasn't
gonna be first class.

You're here. Agent
Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D.

You've come to save us.

Yeah, just to clarify,

where is here, who is us, and from what?

Move! Let's go!

Is this the whole shipment, Vir...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

- No!
- Where are the others?! Wait!

Where are the others?

You weren't the only one
to travel through, were you?

I don't think so. Um,
I'm sorry, what was that?

Ack, the gravitational flux
must've messed with your entry.

We got to wait for
the rest of them, okay?

You'll have to triple my tokens

to get me to stay a minute longer.

One of those Roaches gets us,

you'll pay me to shoot you in the head.

Whoa!

Get back. Stay back. Shh!

All right, all right, that's enough.

Can we... I'd like to
know, if you don't mind,

what is happening here, please.

Yeah. Sorry.

I-I didn't know how much you would know

about our current situation coming in.

Zero.

Walk me through it like I'm a child,

like I'm a foreign child.

What was that thing?

Right. Right. That was a Vrell Nexian.

We call them Roaches.

They can surf gravity storms

so they'd be able to
breach a few years back.

This level's been sealed
up ever since then.

It's my first time here.

And who are you?

Right, sorry. Stupid me.

My name is Virgil.

I'm the greeting party and a fan.

Great to have a name, Virgil,

but looking for big picture, here.

I mean, who are you?

I'm one of the true believers.

Believers in what?

In you.

Mack.

You okay?

What the hell is going on?

I was about to find out.

Oh, my bad.

I see a dirty-looking dude

hovering over you with
a crazy-looking gun.

I acted on impulse.

Where'd that rock send us?

Well, I don't have many details,
but I do know we're in space.

Yeah, that makes sense.

That's the one thing
we haven't done yet.

All right, so, where's everyone else?

Wait. Yo-Yo...

No, no, Yo-Yo, wait!

- It's me.
- Simmons?

What on Earth are you...

I'm lucky there were no knives.

What the hell were you
doing with that mask,

trying to give me a heart attack?

Well, I wasn't sure the
air was safe in here.

They were trying to get out.

I thought maybe it was for air

when I saw this mask on the ground,

but I guess not.

Do you really... Is
that the smartest thing?

They're already dead. There's
nothing to be scared of.

No. Of course not.

Oh, that looks like Momia
Juanita from the Incan...

The Incan mummies, yeah.

These people have been
dead for a long while,

but their bodies seem absent
all interstitial fluid.

It's completely dehydrated
them, preserving them.

Dehydrated how? Frozen?

No.

Drained.

Oh.

"They're already dead.

There's nothing to
be scared of." Really?

What sucks a human dry?

Aliens.

Mack.

I'm happy to see you, too,
but I'm not happy we're here.

Aliens.

Yep.

Coulson's 99 percent
sure we're in space.

Not again.

All right.

Any idea which part of space we're in?

Uh, outer?

And you saw an alien?

No. We saw what they can do.

So we have no idea what kind of creature

these people are
trying to get away from.

Question I'm asking
is, who locked them in?

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

'Cause this wasn't fun enough.

It's stupid. Just stupid.

All right. I get it.

Look, I'm just saying,

what good is it having a
state-of-the-art robotic hand

if you don't have it on you

when you're kidnapped by Martians?

Looks like he's got both hands to me.

Ah, that's his civvy hand.

It's just a prosthetic
without all the cool doodads.

It should've been a hook.

At least you can stab
things with a hook.

Thought I was gonna be arrested.

So, wait, that one
doesn't have the blowtorch

or the laser gun or anything?

First of all, I'm not Inspector Gadget.

And second of all,

the authorities would've confiscated it.

Prison's bad enough without
being down an appendage.

First rule of Boy Scouts
is always come prepared.

How were we supposed to
prepare for this, Mack?

I don't know.

I mean, we got to be prepared
for everything, apparently.

Look, not a day ago,
I was trapped inside

a-a computer-generated
mind prison, and now...

You know what? You know what, Coulson?

I'm out. I'm out.

We get through this, I am packing it in.

Sorry, Mack. You already quit years ago.

Yeah, well, I didn't quit hard enough.

Look, I am not comfortable
at the pace at which we deal

with new trials and tribulations.

Believe it or not, Mack,
this isn't new for me.

I've been hurled through
space by a monolith before.

Best we can do is keep our heads
and apply the scientific method.

That's right.

Learn what we can
about our circumstances.

So, are these people human?

Humanoid, at least.

Means we aren't the first ones here.

- That's good.
- Is it?

We don't exactly want to
follow in their footsteps.

They've got no I.D.s.

Fury never said anything

about deep-space outposts
being developed, did he?

There was nothing like
this in his black box.

So, wait, S.H.I.E.L.D.
doesn't have a space division

called S.P.E.A.R. or something?

Really?

I always thought you guys
had people hiding on the moon.

Hey! Wake up!

Geez, Mack, how hard did you hit him?

What do you mean?

As hard as I possibly could.

Look, I-I don't half-hit people.

It's a punch. That's
why it's called a punch.

What did he say before that?

He said that we were coming
here to serve a purpose.

As food?

No.

He said we were here to save them.

Any idea what that is?

No.

Here we go.

Well...

looks like he's from Earth.

Or he ate someone from Earth.

So it is a human outpost.

Yeah, and, of course, it's being overrun

by creatures that suck out your innards.

I should've been a fireman.

Aah!

Hey. Hey. Uh...

How long have I been out?

We can't... We can't linger here.

Yeah, sorry.

Mack thought you were
an imminent threat.

Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie.

Oh, it's good to meet you.

How do you know me?

Oh, I know all of you.

Yo-Yo Rodriguez.

Is it okay if I call you Yo-Yo?

No.

Okay.

Jemma Simmons... Biochemistry.

I'm sorry Fitz didn't
get to make the trip,

but he is thinking of you.

Hey! How do you know us?

I've been studying you
for years, your history.

I mean, I always believed.

I mean, I had moments, but they...

They tried to take that
last bit away from me,

but I always believed
the stories were true.

What stories?

This one...

That you would... You would come.

To save you, Virgil, from those
aliens that were attacking?

No, those... No. The...
The Roaches are an anomaly,

a glitch in the plan.

Don't be crazy.

You're not here to save me.

Who, then?

Humanity.

- W-W...
- I'm sorry.

This is a lot to dump on your plate,

but how do you eat an elephant, right?

This will make a lot more
sense once I show you...

Got to let that guy finish his sentence.

Go.

Go. Go, go. Go.

Right?

Yes, that was right,
and not the only one.

I've been looking for you.

Aah!

You know, I didn't want to hurt you,

but the idea is starting to grow on me.

I deserve better than this.

Tell that to the corpses.

Damn.

I was not prepared for
that, I got to admit.

You pack a big punch
for such a small package.

I got to read the fine print next time.

I hate wasting the charge on that thing.

Honestly, I wasn't trying to hurt you,

but you had a lead pipe at
the ready, and I can't ri...

Okay.

I guess we'll stick with
the first impression.

I don't know what you
did to these people

or why I was dragged here, but...

Save it.

The less I know, the better.

So, is there anything you
want to fill us in on, Coulson?

'Cause now's the time.

You know what I know.

This doesn't have anything to do

with the little bargain that
you made with the Ghost Rider?

Yeah, that thing doesn't ride for free.

There has to be some price.

Nope. This is all new to me.

Sorry. It's... That's just the reality.

Well, maybe this isn't reality.

Maybe someone put us
back in the Framework

- and this is a simulation.
- Please, we have to shut up about that.

- Don't even got there.
- My God, if I even think about that,

my brain will explode.

Again, let's not just postulate.

Let's apply scientific principles

and consider the evidence we have.

Look, this is magic, okay?

Can we all agree there's
some magic at play?

Magic is just science
we don't understand yet.

Ah, please.

We just got zapped through
space by Stonehenge,

and we're trying to
rule out the involvement

of a flame-headed demon from east L.A.?

Science my ass.

Now, let me see that gun.

Maybe I can try to get it working.

Fitz would agree, but,
apparently, he didn't get taken.

No. At least, he wasn't in
the room with the monolith.

I was the last to go
through. I saw it all.

Well, that's some relief.

He's safe from this,
better off than we are.

Yeah.

You okay?

Fine.

What, do you think he isn't
better off? He has to be.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

Or that he did something drastic?

He wouldn't do that.

He was right there with us at the diner.

No, I'm not saying any of that.

It's just you guys are
constantly torn apart.

Cursed, as he would say.

Well, I'm not afraid that he isn't here.

I'm thrilled.

He's no doubt working this problem,

probably trying to get a
message to us right now.

Better for everyone he isn't here.

Yeah, well, May did get pulled through.

I saw it. So we should find her.

We should split up.

- Aw, hell, no. No, no.
- Yeah, let's not do that.

We are sticking together 100 percent.

Haven't you ever seen an alien movie?

Mack, it's the best way
to cover the most ground.

Okay, you see, you see,
that's exactly what they say

before they get picked off one by one,

and you know who the first one will be.

It's your call, boss.

This has to be the
coolest we've ever looked.

That should keep the
Roaches away for a while.

Smell drives them nuts, I think.

But you kick me again,

and I'm gonna leave
you to be their dessert.

Now, this is gonna hurt like hell,

but it's better than the
other way we can do it.

I don't know where you flushed out of,

but in this sector, you can't
go 10 feet without a Metric.

Hey. Don't move.

One inch the wrong way,
and you're a vacancy.

Yo-Yo, you want to scout up ahead?

All clear for now.

Seems like it's just a lot of work

just to keep this place afloat.

But it's designed for
humans to survive...

Atmosphere and simulated gravity...

And the machinery seemed to be
for reclaiming water, I think.

Yeah, it looks man-made.

Could possibly be a colony?

Moving mankind to the stars?

Maybe that's what Virgil
meant by "humanity."

I don't know. That plasma
gun wasn't man-made,

and I don't think they
could've built this place

without some outside help.

Got some serious miles on it.

Decades by the look of it.

Means this program would've
had to have been started

back in the, what,
'80s with Howard Stark?

That doesn't feel right.

Yo-Yo found something.

Nothing.

Nothing alive.

Hey.

They didn't get to her, did they?

May would've put up a fight.

And they left the other bodies here.

"Water reclamation."

You were right, Jemma.

I figured it out using magic.

I can try and find a
layout and track May.

It's in English.

They're tracking debris
fields called "frozen oceans."

They're collecting
water from ice in space.

This is a colony.

Which means unless they all
came through a monolith...

Then we're close enough to
Earth for people to travel here.

And we can get home.

Yes, but just as important,

collecting ice means
they have a spacecraft,

and if they have a
spacecraft, they must have

a laser-based
rapid-transmission system.

If we can find the ship and
fly above the debris field...

We can send a message.

We can send a message
to Fitz back on Earth.

Okay, okay, so if I can find a layout,

find a ship, find May, it's a start.

This interface looks similar to...

Coulson, do you recognize this language?

No.

I don't think humans are
running this place after all.

Mack? Yo-Yo?

_

_

_

_

Hey.

What are you gonna do with our friends?

Whatever we want.

Experiment.

They knew the rule, and they broke it.

They're not gonna make it easy for you.

No.

They'll beg for their lives
as you humans always do.

I've done 22 rotations,

and I have never observed anything else.

It's great to get some
alone time with you,

but I really wish

you had run away with
your superspeed instead.

Yeah, you forget I snap
back to where I started.

Sometimes it's very useful,

but other times, it's super annoying.

You speak English?

Of course.

Let her go.

She didn't do anything.

I said we speak English.

That doesn't mean I want to hear it.

_

_

_

Okay. New theory.

The Kree have been abducting humans

to this outpost for years.

Running experiments?

Well, their genetic work in
creating Inhumans is well-known.

Maybe they're doing more of the same.

Yeah, well, I'm not gonna
wait around to find out.

So...

May.

Buddy! Just go with it.

I've been looking
everywhere for you guys.

Man, what a mess back there, huh?

These poor suckers.

Virgil... you know, from R&R?

He was trying to scam these
guys out of some tokens.

This one came running to me

begging for help, the poor thing.

When I get my hands
on that no-good louse,

he's gonna have some explaining to do.

So where is Virgil, anyway?

He's dead.

Good.

Good.

Got what he deserved, then, didn't he,

for trying to drag these poor transfers

up from processing into the wet works

just to steal their Metrics.

So he's just Roach food then, huh?

Oh, yeah.

One more vacancy, right?

That's what I was gonna say.

Guys,

what did I say about
trusting Virgil, huh?

We went over this. What did I say?

- Don't trust Virgil.
- Not to trust him.

God, you repeated it back to me,

and we said back... it was
like a pass-and-catch thing.

Look, I really appreciate
your help with these guys,

but I can take them off your hands,

and then I'll slip you a few
extra tokens for your trouble.

Listen, I'll be...
I'll be honest with you,

man to... more than a man.

If I can't get these guys back
to processing at warp speed,

I am gonna be in some pretty hot water.

So I know it's not ideal, but...

Look, if you...

If you come by the
gallery for an hour or two,

I'll make it worth
your while, all right?

All good, gang. So, single file.

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

We'll spare you

to provide us greater satisfaction

than killing you would bring.

She'll pay that price for you.

Stop! Stop!

No! No!

You good?

Mm-hmm. Banged up but okay.

We in space?

That's affirmative.

Copy that.

What the hell happened to Virgil?

The Roaches get him?

Sorry to say. Was he a friend?

Acquaintance.

He owed me a ton of tokens for this job.

Job?

All he said was that he
wanted to hide some people.

That's not unheard of.

So I was hired to supply the
Metrics and swap them out,

but you guys don't even have Metrics,

which means that you
don't have the tokens

to cover Virgil's end, so have fun.

Hey, wait, wait. We need your help.

We need to find our friends.

Your friends?

Your friends attacked a Kreeper.

They're as good as gone.

Those blues are bred to kill,

so you just... you
make your peace with it.

We'll take our chances.

Listen, if you could
just help us find them

and then get to the spacecraft...

You mean the Trawler? To do what?

The only pilot I knew was Virgil,

may he rest in peace, apparently.

So best of luck to all you
guys, but mine's running out.

You got a name?

Deke.

Well, Deke, we just wanted pie,

and now we don't know where
we are or what's going on,

and we finally found someone who does,

so you're not walking away.

Where's the Trawler?

Take a lift down to level
nine. You can't miss it.

May, take Simmons.

Get that spacecraft in the
air. Send out the signal.

Daisy and I will find Mack and Yo-Yo.

No, no, wait. You stay here.

What?

I've got two good fighters down there

once I get the restraints off.

I'll be fine. We can't
lose our leader again.

We need answers.

You want me to stay
here and grill this guy?

Find out where the hell
and what the hell... sir.

Good plan.

What do the Kree want with us, Deke?

All they ever want...

Submission.

Whoa. How many Kree live here?

Too many.

Think about it.

The Kree have been
studying humans for years,

moving here in large numbers.

Kree who were bred to kill.

Bred to kill and living within
striking distance of Earth.

This isn't an outpost, May.

It's a staging ground.

They're planning an invasion.

_

_

What do you mean "submission"?

Are the Kree planning
some sort of attack?

Attack on whom exactly?

Humans.

Why would they do that?

Stop!

Please! I'll do anything! Just stop!

Quiet, or we'll change
our minds about you.

Can you start her up?

That's the ignition port, I think,

but, uh, we obviously
don't have the key.

What are the chances of
them leaving it in here?

Wait.

Well, that worked out.

Have you ever flown a spaceship?

You know the answer to that question.

I... have no words.

Don't need them.

So, then why did the
Kree build this place?

They didn't build the
bunker. Humans did.

Why don't you know these things?

Even in waste processing,
they know the history...

You're not from processing, are you?

No.

I was enjoying a meal,

and then I was taken
and zapped to this place.

I'm from Earth.

Yeah, well, that would be

the one thing that I do know, wing nut.

But from where? What area?

Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Are you high on
something? Can I have some?

You okay?

Thought you were gonna lose
these for a second there.

I was starting to picture
myself with two hooks.

Wait. Wait.

Yeah, help me get him up.

We can gain access now,

maybe talk to the Trawler
ship, find their location.

We need to get up off this debris field

if we want a clear signal.

Yeah, if I can figure
out how to send one.

I mean, the good news is,

I-I recognize some of
these constellations,

so we're... we're at
least in our own galaxy.

That doesn't make sense.

How long ago did they build this place,

and when did you first come here?

I don't know. They built it
90-some-odd years ago, minimum.

But I... what do you mean "come here?"

I was born here.

Que pasa, Mack?

These... These filtration systems,

they weren't designed for this.

They've been repurposed.

Yeah, I feel like this machine's
out of its element, too.

I found the coordinates to this place,

but it's listing our location
in longitude and latitude.

The postcard.

90 years ago? That... That's impossible.

The tech in here couldn't have
been developed in the '20s.

Wait.

No Metrics, no scars,

Wisconsin, pie.

Tell me again about when you were taken.

We were... We were sitting
in our favorite diner

just off Columbus Drive.

No, not... not where.

When?

What year?

That monolith was different, wasn't it?

We didn't travel through space.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

I know, May.

I recognize all of these constellations.

I meant that.

No reason to send a
message back to Earth.

We're already here.

-- www.Addic7ed.com --

And all-new episode of
"Agents of SHIELD" starts now.

It's gone.

Ever... Every...

Everyone.

What was that?

Let's hope this ship is
designed to take a few hits.

Aah!

Hold on!

Thrusters are misfiring!

- Talk to me... what do we do?
- You're the pilot!

It knocked something out of alignment.

Nothing's working properly.

Simmons...

we don't want to hit that.

Are you trying to kill us?

First rule of I.T....

Turn it off and turn it back on again.

Oh!

No, this should be working.

No! Come on!

Hang on.

- This is Earth.
- We're in the future!

It's all destroyed. Coulson,
please, tell me it's impossible.

I think we can all agree at this
point that anything is possible.

Glad you're all right.

Your guy, Virgil... He
didn't tell you anything else

about his plan to bring
us back from the past?

I'm just still trying to fit
all these ideas inside my skull.

And you haven't heard
anything about a gateway?

A rock that transports people?

If I had, do you think
I'd still be here?

There was no second monolith
when I landed on Maveth.

So we'll have to find our own way back.

Well, I'm a biologist, but
sure, I can invent time travel.

Just give me a minute.

Well, without some miracle,
then we're stuck here,

and we need to stay alive.

Oh, and you... You...

You all want me to help
you with that, yeah.

Well, that's a big surprise.

Well, all I can offer you is these.

Who's first?

You think I'm gonna let
you do that to anyone else?!

You are lucky that I am even offering.

The only way to not die is
to blend in and work hard,

and you can't do either of
those things without these.

Come on. Keep moving.

What do they do? Track us?

I don't think we want that.

I don't think you have a choice.

Deke?!

Tess, yeah, sure, join the fray.

You took out the damn
trawler? Where's Virgil?

If you lifted off in
that thing without...

What? What's wrong with your face?

I'm sorry.

Virgil's gone.

Deke...

this true?

Roaches got him on three.

What was he doing on three, Deke?

- That's a sealed-off level.
- This wasn't my...

- What did you get him into?!
- I... He hired me.

- What...
- Listen!

He hired me to hide these people.

From where?

Well, that's the thing.

Remember all that deranged garbage

that Virgil was always spouting

about people arriving from the past?

I think you're looking at them.

That's insane.

Doesn't mean it's not true.

We came through a gateway,
some sort of temporal shift.

I don't want to believe it, either,

but look at their clothes.

They got matching buttons.

Not exactly locals.

How can we prove it to you?

Here. It's from last year.

Still shiny.

You don't have a Metric.

Never did.

That's... too weird.

Virgil said you'd be Agents of...

S.H.I.E.L.D. Pleased to meet you.

Then there should be more of you.

There's one girl that went
to go pry the others away

from the Kree guards.

You let them go face the Blues?

I didn't let them d...

They do whatever they want!

It's like herding rats.

- Just go get them.
- Me?

No!

No. Think again.

They are radioactive.

Virgil already got himself wasted.

I intend to learn
something from his vacancy.

I'll double his price.

You don't even know the
number that you just agreed to.

All right, fine.

You stash these people,
you make them blend in.

I'll see if I can...

talk the others out of certain death.

I just... I can't believe this.

Me neither.

No, no, no, no!

He's all right. He's all right.

How did you get that Kreeper's axe?

Please tell me he was sweet on you.

You killed a Kree?

It was us or them.

Well, you made the wrong choice.

Is that gonna be a problem?

Two?

You killed two?

It's only a problem
for the herd of people

they will kill in retaliation.

We got to cover this up.

What do you think we're doing?

We could just make it
look like an accident.

- Shut up! Just let me think.
- Wait a minute.

What if we leave them
upstairs with the other bodies?

Use the elevator?

We can't exactly be seen in the lift

with a pair of dead guards.

Well, maybe we don't
put them in the elevator.

All right, well,

I hope you saved some of
your energy there, Tiny.

What happened to the Earth?

Good question.

Ask anyone, they'll
give a different story.

What's yours?

All we really know is the
planet was torn apart...

Some cataclysmic event.

And the Blues showed up, restored order,

but destroyed all historical data...

Files, books.

Said it would keep us
focused on the future.

Now they oversee everything that's left.

What is left? What do people do here?

We survive.

Welcome to the end of the world.

It's called the Lighthouse.

Back when Earth was round,

this was an underground survival bunker.

This is the Exchange.

Need anything...

this is where you get it.

Virgil mentioned stories... About us.

Stories from when we were kids.

Some of the elders swore that
a group called S.H.I.E.L.D.

would come from the past to help us.

Can we talk to these elders?

That would be nice,
but the Blues got rid

of anyone who believed in the movement.

Fed them to the roaches.

- Kill the belief.
- And it worked.

Only Virgil held out hope,

and everybody thought
that he was a crackpot.

I'd like to see where he lived,

see if we can find any clues
as to what his plan for us was.

I can take one of you there. Sure.

Hey.

Why don't you fight them?

We depend on them to survive.

That can't be true.

It's not right, but it's true.

That's a lot of pressure

to carry the fate of
humanity on your shoulders.

It's taught us the value of a life.

Everyone has a role to play

to keep the Lighthouse
from falling apart.

What's her role?

Sometimes the Kree take humans
to their levels to serve.

Call it an honor.

But when they visit,
they don't talk much.

I don't see many guards.
We've got the numbers.

And they've got the weapons.

We're not exactly military-trained.

We are.

Maybe it's how Virgil
thought we could help...

- To fight.
- Keep it down.

Deke was right. You have to blend in.

Hear me?

- Coulson, right?
- Yeah.

I'll take you to Virgil's room.

You two gonna be good?

We'll get the lay of the land.

Okay.

Keep your head down,
do what the others do,

you'll be fine.

Great.

You couldn't have told
us there was a skylight?

What's a skylight?

Oh, boy.

It is what it is.

I just can't picture
somewhere so... open.

How did you make that much air?

We didn't make it. It was just there.

You've never been in a
place without four walls,

- have you?
- Do spacewalks count?

Definitely.

What about all the dangers...

Earthquakes, floods, sharknados?

Feels safer inside, no?

Okay, hold up.

The whole sharknado thing...

that's just entertainment.

Who would put a shark inside a tornado?

They wouldn't. It's fiction. A movie.

L-Like I said, we have pieces.

It... It seems like it was nice.

You would've liked it.

Quit howling!

I did the grind. I should get my share!

You were docked for insubordination.

Now piss off.

Tess!

Trawler went out, but
I didn't get a drop.

You hauling for somebody else?

No, Grill.

We were training a new pilot.

Virgil's dead.

Really?

Damn.

You the one filling his seat?

No.

I'm just passing through.

That's a shame about Virgil.

I didn't trust that head case,

but I liked him.

Well...

vacancy or no, next time...

you owe double.

Tess!

What did I just say?

Double. Got it.

Avuncular fellow.

Just like anyone else.

Makes trouble if you make trouble.

We got to come up with a system,

'cause I'm not doing this
every time we take out a Kree!

The system is, "No more dead Kree"!

We're two past maximum!

Hopefully, the bodies
are still warm enough

for the roaches to take 'em.

Here, right here. That's the door.

- Daisy, the door.
- Daisy?

Pretty name. Like the flower?

Does that line work in the future?

I guess not.

Virgil loved his artifacts.

You should've seen my office.

Don't suppose you ever
saw "Singin' in the Rain."

What about just plain old rain?

Only drips from reclamation pipes.

But you fear sharknados.

We need to fix everything.

What about the surface of the planet?

Will it ever be livable again?

For humans? No.

Land of the roaches now.

Virgil always kept this in the trawler.

Said the world might look
this way again someday.

Crazy, right?

But he was right about you guys, so...

You two were close?

Yeah.

Not as close as he
would've liked, but...

He was crazy Virgil, you know?

Could never take him too seriously.

I'm sure he knew you cared.

Yeah.

You know anything about this?

Maybe a flight log?

Think it's important?

Important enough to hide.

Virgil's the only one who had answers.

I just wish we'd spent
more time with him.

Me, too.

That's the first piece of
tech I've seen on this floor.

They keep people in
the Dark Ages here...

No progress, no innovation.

Meanwhile, the aliens are so advanced...

Fitz would be going out of his mind.

Time is strange.

Somewhere out there,
he's still fighting.

But from our reference
point, he's lived his life.

Or not.

Shh!

Something is going down.

Today, Kasius has seen fit

to feed the most vulnerable amongst us.

We've hit the North-Korean-dictator
level of creepy.

Food! Get some!

Hey! Move over!

- Give it to me!
- Get out of my way! Me first!

- Out of my way!
- Hey! Hey, me first!

Give me that!

You got your share!

Come on!

Yeah!

It's a knife.

I need to cauterize his wound.

What's she doing? Who's that?

- She's crazy.
- What is that? What's she doing?

Okay.

I'm very sorry about this next part.

Aaaah!

Aah.

No, no. You can't move him.

No, don't move him!

You can't...

Hey.

- At least you're okay.
- What do you mean?

Wait, where's Simmons?

The Kree took her.

- What?
- How?

Can I talk to you for a second?

This is not exactly
flying under the radar.

What the hell happened to her?

A servant got stabbed, was bleeding out.

The girl saved him.

She thought she was doing a good thing.

These people... They're...

they're not like us.

No, they're frickin' hazardous.

They'll get us all killed.

Maybe not.

Maybe Virgil was right...

Just... Just stop it.

Just the fairy tale was toxic.

The morons that believed
it were eaten alive.

I know, Deke.

Okay, I know what you lost.

But maybe they didn't die in vain.

Maybe it's real.

And that's worse.

If it's real...

it'll be a massacre.

We have to get Simmons.

Hit them hard and fast
and get up to the surface.

There's barely any surface left, Daisy.

The planet's been blown apart.

And what's there is uninhabitable.

So out, not an option.

As far as in here...

We get Simmons. I'll do it.

- They won't know what hit them.
- Hey, hold up.

No one knows you two have
abilities, so let's keep it that way.

For the moment.

But right now... at this moment,

we don't know jack squat about anything.

Including where Simmons is being held.

Deke.

He seems to have this place
dialed in. He might know.

He's too afraid to make noises.

Yeah, but that's 'cause
he's protecting himself.

He has a scam up and running.

He's afraid we're gonna blow it for him.

I agree.

I'll tail him, dig up some dirt,

encourage him to help us.

Those tablets... Could have intel.

Hello? Yo-Yo, master thief.

I am not gonna tell you this again.

Get them to blend in.

That's my ride. Wish me luck.

We'll meet back here, yeah?

You really don't know where
they might've taken our friend?

Someplace I've never been.

Kasius welcomes you to his suites.

Oh. Someone who talks.

Please, tell me how the
injured man is doing.

Please take this opportunity
to undress and clean yourself.

Even Hala doesn't have a view like this.

So...

you're the one who saved a life.

So, all this talk
about protecting people,

you were worried about your speakeasy.

I'm in a Framework program.

Oh, no.

She must feel like she's
stepped into a new world.

Mm.

Pretty.

But she appears more dormouse
than medical practitioner.

Your actions caused quite the stir.

I was only trying to save a man's life.

By rather elaborate means.

Do you have a name?

Jemma.

And where are you from, Jemma?

Processing.

Processing.

Good we had you bathe.

So, tell me, Jemma, how does one learn

such specific curative skills

working in sewage all day?

My mother taught me.

How resourceful.

Did she also teach you the cost

of interfering in my affairs?

The man would've died.

A life spent, a life earned, yes?

You thought this law did not apply?

I only did what I thought

would make you happiest in the end.

That is the superior answer...

To any question, really.

This was a fight over food, Sinara?

The pressure must be building up there.

Tell the guards to give
them some breathing room,

for mercy's sake.

A renewal will do them some good.

Life is a fragile thing.

We must cultivate the beauty...

and prune back the rest.

I always found humans to
be inelegant creatures,

but you...

Your Metric... It's gone.

I removed it. I'm sorry.

No scar.

Not even a scratch.

Just a pristine canvas.

Such marvels make me wonder

if you're even from a place
as tough as Processing.

I think I would like to
see how my Servitor fared

under your handiwork,

and if your wrist is any indication...

I should be quite pleased.

They keep the tablets in there.

Once May gets Tess out
of the picture, we'll go.

Hey, I rustled up some grub.

- Pre-packaged, but it's decent.
- Oh, great.

Listen, Tess, is there somewhere
I could change my bandage?

Sure.

How sure are you that's
actually a steam pipe?

Um, say 50/50.

Either Coulson's gonna
release hot steam or...

raw sewage.

Either way, it'll get attention.

Ready, and go.

You should see
go-face in slow-motion.

Classic.

You're showing off.

If you got it, flaunt it.

They'll never know what happened.

Let's hope not.

Remove the children.

Line up and present your Metrics.

This is not a good thing.

So far, any new
development in this place

is not a good thing.

Why don't we put those on?

Because they go through your damn wrist!

But without them, who knows?

I want to make a trade.

Not the time.

I think it's exactly the time.

Okay.

So much for "passing
through." What do you want?

I have a working Kree tablet.

I'll trade it for
three Metrics installed.

I was right to be suspicious of you.

A tablet's not worth three Metrics.

But anyone who can steal it is, so...

I'll get you hooked up.

Thank you.

But you'll work for
it, and it won't be fun.

Line up and present!

We can work. We're in.

Get inside.

Where is it?

Did you throw out the old papers?

Yeah, it was a mess.

Stop doing that. You're always cleaning.

Yeah, you programmed me to.

Really? Because I don't
remember programming you

to talk back to me.

It was a joke, because I...

I did program you to talk...

Just will you find the papers, please?

Yeah.

You may as well pull up
a stool and have a beer.

Clearly, you're a talented pusher,

but I will pass, thanks.

It's probably for the best,

because I have no idea what
actual beer tasted like.

You want to tell me where I am?

You're passed out at
my place of business.

You got too close to my transmitters

when you were stalking me.

So this is your racket?

You're... You're pimping
out the Framework?

I never called it that, but yeah.

That's the technology

the hardware interface is based on.

I-I had to rebuild the
software from scratch

because Kasius had the
historical archives erased.

But I was able to get
my hands on the servers.

I gathered bits of data
here and there, and...

the rest is guesswork.

But your customers don't
know the difference.

You've got them addicted to
Earth-as-it-was scenarios.

Among other simulations, yes.

So this is the business
that you're protecting?

Your creepy opium den of fantasy?

Well, I can't get real opium, so...

I'm selling escape.

The only other way out
of here is the final exit.

They're trading one prison for another.

You think the Lighthouse is a prison?

Sweetheart...

prison would be nice.

No.

Is this about my team?

It's much worse.

It's a renewal.

I feel less good about this.

What's a renewal?

A low-earner will be selected.

Their Metric will turn red.

Then they owe a life...

Their own or someone else's.

A life spent...

- A life earned!
- A life earned!

Let's go. Come on!

What's going on?

It sounds like people
are dying out there.

A life is owed.

Now, we stay safe in
here, but if that fails...

we make sure they find you first.

Oh, thank God.

Thank God.

Hey!

You gonna leave us here to die?!

- That's the hope.
- If we don't,

you and me are gonna
have a conversation.

Where's an axe when you need one, huh?

- Still too soon.
- That's not something to joke about.

Where's Grill?

Grill!

My tab was low 'cause you didn't pay me!

Now you owe me a life!

I left you three out there.

Grill's the one you
want. Don't forget that.

He's got to come out sometime, right?

He strung you up for me?

That's twisted.

Aah!

I'm sorry.

I owe a life.

Aah!

He didn't have to die.

Somebody did.

Is this the last life owed?

Yes, Commander.

This is unformatted. Who are you?

I've been recalibrating
their Metrics, but I...

do pledge that they work for me, sir.

Is this true? Where's your station?

It's true. We work in Salvage.

They owe me a sizable debt, sir,

so they will be stationed
here a long time.

Hmm.

Carry on.

I am happy you came to your senses,

and I will be happy

to call the watch commander back if not.

Trying to preserve humanity.

Feels like they lost it a long time ago.

What are you doing on your feet?

Yes. She is right.

What is this man doing
up in this condition?

Of course, that you made the effort

shows why you're the
finest of your people.

Will it heal?

He is my most precious.

Of course. It's barely been hours.

But it'll scar.

Um, or with time or advanced procedures,

it can look much better.

My servitors must symbolize perfection

when they represent me.

Perhaps with his tunic on,

no one will notice.

This, however...

No, I can... That can be minimized.

No one will notice.

- I will notice.
- It's a miniscule cut.

On the man's face.

Please don't...

I'm sorry.

I demand perfection.

He's now marred.

Unh! Oh!

Whereas you remain immaculate.

And a woman of your talent...

What is wrong with you?

A life taken...

a life earned.

What is wrong with you?!

Silence!

You are a beauty worth cultivating.

But you must...

learn...

silence.

Aah! Aah!

Oh!

The Kree have her.

You can't help her. To
try is too dangerous.

You said the same thing
about Mack and Yo-Yo.

How'd that turn out?

A catastrophe!

This entire place is a
very delicate ecosystem,

and you all just keep
taking a leak in the water

- left and right!
- You're worried we'll mess this up

or we'll mess this up for you?

I mean, do the Kree even
know about this operation?

Because...

Of course they know about it.

They're crazy about it, because I'm...

I'm improving people's lives.

I'm giving them something other than

just hour after hour of endless grind.

They condone it 'cause
it keeps them placid.

I have seen the Framework
in action before.

Pretend that wishes are coming true

so the real hope dies.

- Hope is what gets people killed.
- Make them forget reality

- so they don't try to make a move to fix it!
- No, I'm making reality livable.

- Don't make any waves, because
- No, you don't want to make any waves,

'cause if you start a fire, you want
to know what's combustible in there.

- We're mixing metaphors all over the place.
- telling them to just chill

- so they don't rock the boat is so wrong!
- No, the boat sank!

Do you understand that?!

We are a breath away from extinction.

We make one wrong move,

and in a blink, mankind
is gone for good.

Wait.

That... That... That... That's it.

That's what I'm looking for. That!

Daisy Johnson.

And you say you're not dangerous.

So you know who I am.

Quake.

You see, I'm the one person

that's pieced the history together,

who has an idea of what happened.

You want to know what kind of force

can tear a planet apart?

It was you.

You think if you work hard enough...

if you inspire them, that...

you can put the pieces back together?

You think you can save mankind?

Give them back a world
with justice and freedom

and all that other
pledgeof-allegiance garbage?

I'm telling you to make peace with it.

Surrender to it and make this your home,

just the way it is.

Because S.H.I.E.L.D.
tried to save the world.

And you want to see the consequences?

Take a look.

Do you see an Earth that can be saved?

It's too late.

It's already been quaked apart.

We'll return in a moment.

Jemma.

You look wonderful.

And I hear you're learning well.

That's good.

Just in time for my guests.
