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

What makes you certain that we cause it?

There was a light from the sky.

Aliens is what I heard.

S.H.I.E.L.D. tried to stop it and failed.

How are you alive?

They killed me,

brought me back to take my blood.

Phil Coulson is dying, and you have to let him.

We found a literal piece of the puzzle.

This could be our way home.

Yeah, but the shard alone isn't enough.

We need the whole Monolith.

All right? I can help.

What happened?

He ICE'd her. She didn't want to come.

I'm not leaving anyone behind.

I'm using Enoch to power the machine.

They're saying you skipped class yesterday.

I wasn't in the mood.

Oh, Ruby.

I expect better from you, okay?

This behavior's not acceptable.

Well, you're always telling me to stay true to myself,

Then I'd say get your ass to class.

Otherwise, you're gonna lose your damn screen time.

Okay.

Sorry, Mom.

How about I bring us some breakfast, huh?

We haven't done that in a long time.

No, thanks, but if I do turn 11 again, you got it.

Hey, Mom.

Are you a good guy?

Where'd that come from?

Well, you're off to a strategy meeting, right?

How to stop S.H.I.E.L.D.?

But up until recently, everyone rooted for them

are you sure that you're not a bad guy?

You're obsessed with Daisy Johnson.

My orders are to capture her.

Not kill?

Ruby...

And in the adult realm,

we all have to answer to someone.

I do what I must -- What I must

Welcome to the Lighthouse, the world's last bastion

against the encroaching darkness.

If you're here,

you understand the gravity of the situation.

The world as we know it has come to an end.

My name is General Rick Stoner.

Rick Stoner? I've heard of him. As you know, certain world events, should they occur,

trigger what we in S.H.I.E.L.D. call Project Reclamation.

This protocol was created

as a black-ops action made only known

to the highest-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives.

Once initiated, Project Reclamation

is conducted through secure communications

we call electronic mail.

Our Agents were instructed to gather you,

the selected elite, from a host of nations

and bring you here... Must have never been initiated.

The 1972 Hydrogen Wave Crisis was averted --

And, what, people just forgot about this place?

There's nothing in Fury's toolbox about it.

Mack, those injuries need to be treated.

No, I'm fine.

I'll decide that.

So will I.

Well, I'll be there while she decides.

Let's find a medical station.

Maybe have Simmons look at you, too, Coulson.

That's a bad cut.

We can worry about it later.

Simmons: Actually, I wouldn't mind checking everyone out.

We did just experience an unexplored phenomenon.

Worry about it later. You look after Mack.

I'll stay here with Daisy.

When she wakes up, she'll have questions.

When she wakes up, she's gonna want to kill you.

Let's place the nonessentials

There, you will also find the latest state-of-the-art

I did.

He is the one who alerted me to the presence of this place.

I'm glad to see

you made your return journey safely, Agent Fitz.

Why are you here?

Why are they here?

This bunker was built

with extensive fallout shielding.

Ergo, a secure place to store unsafe items.

These Monoliths are more than unsafe.

No one should get anywhere near them.

The other deciding factor.

Everyone who knows about this bunker is now inside of it.

So the world is protected from these Monoliths,

and they are protected from the outside world.

So the outside world up there is still safe --

normal and all that?

For now, though we are watching very closely.

Follow me upstairs. I'll show you.

Here, we can monitor any unusual activity anywhere on Earth.

We Chronicoms monitor the line

Yes, we observe without interfering, unless there is --

Yeah, we got it. Yes, we know that story.

What are you observing now?

Noah: Various potential threats.

You'd be surprised how frequently

S.H.I.E.L.D. is mentioned.

We have a small but active fan base.

There are several events of note.

A well-known politician

attempting to delete his FBI files.

An Asgardian spotted in the city.

What's this one?

Potential alien contact. Why?

Does this event mean something to you?

Yeah. I think it does.

Coulson: A light from the sky.

Figured you'd be interested.

This is what Voss warned me about.

If he's right, then this is where it all starts --

hell on Earth.

And we're back.

How long since it first appeared?

It showed up a few weeks ago,

then appeared intermittently for some time after.

You think it's alien?

The wavelength is unusual.

Simmons: Showed up where? Where was this?

St. Louis, Missouri.

Well, guess we're going to St. Louis, Missouri.

Hunter and I left the Zephyr cloaked just outside of town.

I'll show you where it is.

Great. But I'm not going.

What?

If I'm responsible for ending the world,

I'd rather not get near one of the first omens.

Hard pass.

We could use you out there.

I'll be more useful in here.

I'll run back end on the mission

Dope-ass is a -- it's a good thing.

So, what do we do?

Just walk out the front door into town?

Mack: Well, we are wanted.

After what Fitz said about General Hale's task force,

we need to be covert.

You will be.

The Lighthouse has a few covert entrances.

This place has secret tunnels, like an Agatha Christie novel.

More like "C.H.U.D."
