00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:25,672
And how did you receive this
money? They write you a check?
178
00:09:32,005 --> 00:09:33,211
(CLANKING)
179
00:09:35,075 --> 00:09:36,748
Paid you in gold?
180
00:09:36,876 --> 00:09:38,514
Now it really feels like the Old West.
181
00:09:40,847 --> 00:09:43,521
It looks like this because it's a dore bar.
182
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:47,194
It means it was made
at the mine rather than in a refinery.
183
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:49,927
It's only about 92% pure.
The cowboy got cheated a bit.
184
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,036
Can you determine the mine
based on the impurities?
185
00:09:52,358 --> 00:09:54,360
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've done that already.
186
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:58,273
It's from the Daoey Mine in Tanzania.
187
00:09:58,698 --> 00:09:59,972
- Hmm.
- Which is owned by...
188
00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:01,538
Quinn Worldwide.
189
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:05,879
I'm sure you studied the CEO in your
chemical engineering classes,
190
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:09,112
or saw him on
the cover of Forbes. Ian Quinn.
191
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:15,623
We can't just pluck
it from the ground like a potato.
192
00:10:15,715 --> 00:10:20,061
It needs to be extracted from the
ore and enriched. I know.
193
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,565
You know, tell him this investment
194
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,065
paid for that ridiculous yacht of his,
195
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:26,570
and that he'll thank me
at the shareholders' meeting.
196
00:10:26,993 --> 00:10:28,404
(DOOR OPENING)
197
00:10:31,231 --> 00:10:32,801
Why is he tied up?
198
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:34,170
Quinn.
199
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:36,677
Does he look like a threat?
200
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:40,344
I'm sorry about these guys.
201
00:10:45,245 --> 00:10:46,349
(LAUGHING)
202
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:49,584
Welcome to Malta, Frank.
203
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:51,952
You know, it's one thing to steal
204
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:53,655
my ideas, Ian, but stealing me?
205
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,332
First of all, I never stole your ideas.
206
00:10:56,422 --> 00:10:58,333
We've always agreed
information should be free.
207
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,332
It's amazing how much money you
made off free information.
208
00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:03,429
And secondly, think of this
as a rescue mission, Frank.
209
00:11:03,530 --> 00:11:06,010
In fact, in a moment
I think you'll be thanking me.
210
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:08,609
My staff intercepted a communication
211
00:11:08,701 --> 00:11:10,510
about the movement of a certain asset,
212
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:13,709
and then when I deduced
that asset was you,
213
00:11:14,107 --> 00:11:16,109
I couldn't pass up on the opportunity.
214
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:19,122
It's a little out of my comfort zone, sure.
215
00:11:21,281 --> 00:11:22,282
Malta.
216
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:26,463
You're not stupid.
S.H.I.E.L.D. can't come after you here.
217
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:28,355
Not just S.H-l.E.L.D.
218
00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:31,128
lam now
a naturalized citizen of this fair country.
219
00:11:31,291 --> 00:11:33,362
Stunning beaches, beautiful tax laws,
220
00:11:33,459 --> 00:11:36,133
and a deep-seated hatred
of outside forces telling them what to do.
221
00:11:36,629 --> 00:11:37,972
Sounds like your dating profile.
222
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:41,641
(LAUGHS) Right.
I moved my entire operation down here.
223
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,544
Bought the old prime minister's estate.
224
00:11:43,636 --> 00:11:44,979
It's not really my style,
225
00:11:45,071 --> 00:11:47,551
but they had this huge
underground facility, so I figured, hey.
226
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:50,650
Always been a stubborn bastard.
227
00:11:50,743 --> 00:11:52,313
And now you've finally found a place
228
00:11:52,412 --> 00:11:53,914
where the watchdogs can't touch you.
229
00:11:54,147 --> 00:11:56,058
Not without breaking international law.
230
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:02,196
Ah! But more importantly,
old friend, they can't touch you.
231
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:11,509
Recognize the design?
232
00:12:14,267 --> 00:12:15,405
We were barely old enough to drink
233
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:16,605
when you sketched the blueprint.
234
00:12:16,703 --> 00:12:19,206
That's just a miniature prototype.
235
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:23,613
A theoretical machine
powered by a theoretical substance.
236
00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:26,520
Frank, you were right.
237
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:30,384
You found it?
238
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:31,684
FITZ: Gravitonium.
239
00:12:31,851 --> 00:12:32,955
It's an extremely rare,
240
00:12:33,052 --> 00:12:34,360
high-atomic numbered element...
241
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,863
SIMMONS: ...that powers the device.
242
00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:38,595
So extremely rare
that most people didn't believe it existed,
243
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:40,932
much less the theory
that an isolated positive charge...
244
00:12:41,027 --> 00:12:42,973
Yeah, would turn the flow
from isotropic...
245
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:44,905
Guys? High school dropout here.
246
00:12:45,031 --> 00:12:46,874
How does the device work again?
247
00:12:47,367 --> 00:12:50,974
Well, gravitonium
distorts gravity fields within itself,
248
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:53,641
causing an undulating,
amorphous shape.
249
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:57,150
Which causes these, um,
wiggly bits here.
250
00:12:57,710 --> 00:13:00,623
But when an electric current is applied,
251
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:04,092
the gravitonium solidifies.
252
00:13:04,384 --> 00:13:08,298
And those gravity fields erupt,
253
00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:10,891
randomly changing
the rules of gravity around it.
254
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:13,400
Well' so, now you can
imagine what would happen to a big rig
255
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,005
at 100 kilometers per hour.
256
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:17,833
Or you... Well, you could just remember,
257
00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:19,307
'cause we saw it already, didn't we?
258
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:20,742
Yeah, and guess which genius
259
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:23,939
published every theory about
gravitonium, and possible applications?
260
00:13:24,070 --> 00:13:25,071
Years ago.
261
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:26,912
- Doctor Franklin Hall.
- FITZ: Correct.
262
00:13:27,073 --> 00:13:29,451
And Dr. Hall attended
the University of Cambridge
263
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:31,248
at the same time as Ian Quinn.
264
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:33,519
Coulson may be off on this.
265
00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:35,453
Quinn is a notoriously good guy.
266
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:37,925
His charity endowment's
something like $8 billion.
267
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:41,464
Yes. With money made from
leeching the Earth of its resources.
268
00:13:41,587 --> 00:13:43,430
Looks like he's dug up another.
269
00:13:43,956 --> 00:13:47,631
Twenty years, 12 mines, six continents.
270
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,104
But, yes, I finally found it.
271
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:52,933
And now, (LAUGHS)
we get to play with it.
272
00:13:54,934 --> 00:13:58,279
Do you remember,
in all our talks on Orchard Street,
273
00:13:58,371 --> 00:14:01,978
the part where it's very, very dangerous?
274
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:03,951
Everything powerful is dangerous.
275
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:07,616
But I'm not gonna
convince you with more talk.
276
00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:11,793
Talk of 50% shares,
talk of Nobel Prizes. No, not you.
277
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:17,133
You will just have to see it.
278
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:23,062
I built the full-size generator,
279
00:14:23,329 --> 00:14:27,072
but I need you to
tell me how to control the gravity fields.
280
00:14:28,401 --> 00:14:30,881
You can complete your life's work.
281
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:34,144
I plan to do this
with or without you, but I know you.
282
00:14:34,974 --> 00:14:37,181
I know you'd want it done right.
283
00:14:40,346 --> 00:14:42,326
Now's the moment when you thank me.
284
00:14:42,648 --> 00:14:44,685
COULSON: The man's a prisoner,
and it's up to us to get him out.
285
00:14:45,084 --> 00:14:46,358
WARD: We've checked the specs.
286
00:14:46,486 --> 00:14:48,022
There's no way into Quinn's compound
287
00:14:48,154 --> 00:14:49,690
without a large S.H.l.E.L.D. strike force.
288
00:14:49,822 --> 00:14:51,062
Or a man inside.
289
00:14:51,157 --> 00:14:53,660
He's got neodymium laser
fencing surrounding the property.
290
00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:55,430
They'll never
allow a strike force into Malta.
291
00:14:55,528 --> 00:14:57,235
Plus, this weekend Quinn Worldwides
292
00:14:57,363 --> 00:14:59,070
got its annual shareholders' gathering.
293
00:14:59,165 --> 00:15:01,406
We'd risk global outrage. But...
294
00:15:01,501 --> 00:15:02,673
If we go in alone...
295
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:04,371
S.H.l.E.L.D. can disavow us,
claim ignorance.
296
00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:06,775
MAY: Without a man inside,
it's impossible.
297
00:15:06,873 --> 00:15:09,012
Unless you're immune
to pulse laser emissions.
298
00:15:09,175 --> 00:15:10,779
If we had a monkey we could get in.
299
00:15:10,877 --> 00:15:12,220
Oh, Fitz!
300
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:14,450
If we had a small monkey,
he could slip through the sensors
301
00:15:14,547 --> 00:15:15,924
and disable the fence's power source
302
00:15:16,048 --> 00:15:17,459
with his adorable little hands.
303
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:18,718
I could go in.
304
00:15:18,851 --> 00:15:20,455
Drop me in the hills outside of Valletta.
305
00:15:20,553 --> 00:15:22,931
I'll spend a few weeks
establishing a cover, gathering intel...
306
00:15:23,022 --> 00:15:24,126
Hall doesn't have a few weeks.
307
00:15:24,223 --> 00:15:25,964
And to restate, any agent of S.H.l.E.L.D.
308
00:15:26,058 --> 00:15:27,731
caught on Maltese soil
can be shot to death with bullets.
309
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:28,861
- Yeah.
- Legally.
310
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:31,066
Not me. I could go in.
311
00:15:31,197 --> 00:15:32,574
Skye, this is serious.
312
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:33,870
Wait.
313
00:15:35,368 --> 00:15:36,369
What are you saying?
314
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:37,777
Well, I'm not an agent of S.H.l.E.L.D.,
315
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:40,077
so I can go in
without breaking all these stupid rules.
316
00:15:40,239 --> 00:15:41,377
International laws.
317
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:43,545
This isn't something
the Rising Tide can hack, Skye.
318
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:46,280
Did you hear the deadly lasers
part? Without a brave monkey...
319
00:15:46,379 --> 00:15:48,222
You said you could go in
with a man inside.
320
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:49,453
And you wanna be that man?
321
00:15:50,216 --> 00:15:52,719
Fitz-Simmons love the guy,
and he needs help.
322
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:54,730
They could be torturing him. Or worse,
323
00:15:54,821 --> 00:15:56,391
making him do strength training.
324
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:58,395
But you don't have the background,
325
00:15:58,491 --> 00:16:01,062
or clearance,
or experience with any of this.
326
00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:02,464
I know.
327
00:16:03,229 --> 00:16:05,231
But I've got an invitation.
328
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:10,073
Well, technically it's an e-vite.
329
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:21,989
I understand your concern,
but we don't have a lot of options.
330
00:16:22,081 --> 00:16:23,492
Hey, I'm impressed.
331
00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:25,585
She just
wrangled an invitation on her phone
332
00:16:25,685 --> 00:16:28,495
using insider
back channel voodoo. In minutes.
333
00:16:28,588 --> 00:16:32,502
But sending her in with no
training, you're taking a huge risk.
334
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:33,969
I know Director Fury felt he owed you
335
00:16:34,093 --> 00:16:35,504
after you sacrificed yourself...
336
00:16:35,595 --> 00:16:36,938
And my card collection.
337
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:40,603
He gave you some autonomy.
But Skye on a covert op?
338
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:42,543
Are you worried
about her safety or her loyalty?
339
00:16:42,768 --> 00:16:45,715
Both. The Rising Tide
is the reason she got an invite.
340
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:47,340
Who knows
how many protocols she violated.
341
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,784
That's her job. Ignore protocol,
342
00:16:49,876 --> 00:16:52,220
find connections and back
doors that nobody else can see.
343
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:54,683
Something else is bothering you.
344
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:56,552
(SIGHS)
345
00:16:57,717 --> 00:16:58,957
She's holding back, sir.
346
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:02,194
She says she wants to be an
agent, but she won't commit.
347
00:17:02,288 --> 00:17:04,131
She doesn't listen, makes jokes.
348
00:17:04,223 --> 00:17:05,463
Were you hard on her?
349
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:07,971
Sure. I tried playing nice, too.
350
00:17:08,461 --> 00:17:09,633
I need a new strategy.
351
00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:13,034
Try no strategy.
352
00:17:13,633 --> 00:17:16,637
Stop thinking like
an operative, start thinking like a person.
353
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:18,409
Maybe Skye will let that person help her.
354
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:20,039
Help her what?
355
00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:22,642
Help her think like an operative.
356
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:27,149
Now, again, slowly, what's first?
357
00:17:30,316 --> 00:17:31,317
And then?
358
00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:33,158
(IN SOUTHERN ACCENT)
Then things are moving too quickly.
359
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:36,233
I'm a proper Southern girl.
You'll make me untidy.
360
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:38,661
Twist the thumb, palm the barrel.
361
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:39,995
(IN NORMAL VOICE) Ow.
362
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:43,666
You're gonna die and leave us hanging
out to dry, you know that?
363
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:45,072
You're going in
with no self-defense skills...
364
00:17:45,164 --> 00:17:46,234
I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
365
00:17:46,499 --> 00:17:49,002
You need muscle memory,
fundamentals,
366
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:50,069
the tools to turn yourself...
367
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:51,443
Into a whole bag of tools?
368
00:17:52,171 --> 00:17:53,275
How did you learn computer science
369
00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:54,510
without committing yourself to it?
370
00:17:54,774 --> 00:17:55,844
0.5. comes naturally to me.
371
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,854
I'm sorry
I'm not naturally whatever you are.
372
00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:00,250
You think this came naturally?
373
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:03,917
I had a brother
who beat the crap out of me.
374
00:18:04,016 --> 00:18:05,620
Me and my little brother.
375
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:09,422
For nothing.
For eating a piece of his birthday cake.
376
00:18:09,522 --> 00:18:14,096
I had to learn to protect us, the way I
am trying to protect you.
377
00:18:17,530 --> 00:18:19,305
That was my moment.
378
00:18:20,199 --> 00:18:21,473
You asked.
379
00:18:24,136 --> 00:18:26,275
Sorry. Didn't mean 10 push.
380
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:31,888
But I did manage to take this.
381
00:18:33,546 --> 00:18:35,457
Getting the gun is one thing.
382
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:38,154
Pulling the trigger, that is another.
383
00:18:39,385 --> 00:18:43,458
Now, again, slowly. What's first?
384
00:18:44,056 --> 00:18:46,229
Skye will walk in the front door.
385
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:49,136
The only external access point to
Quinn's underground facility
386
00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:50,730
is from a beach cove.
387
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:54,069
A two-man extraction team
could slip in there, but it's not easy.
388
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:55,474
Fitz-Simmons.
389
00:18:55,668 --> 00:19:00,310
The perimeter is surrounded by
a 20-foot-high neodymium laser grid.
390
00:19:00,406 --> 00:19:01,510
Touch it and you're toast.
391
00:19:01,741 --> 00:19:02,811
Dead toast.
392
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:05,077
The only way to disable the grid is to
393
00:19:05,244 --> 00:19:07,190
crack the system and trigger a reboot.
394
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,324
This would give the team
three seconds to cross.
395
00:19:09,649 --> 00:19:11,151
Of course, Quinn's too smart to allow
396
00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:12,762
any wireless access on his property.
397
00:19:12,918 --> 00:19:14,158
That's where I come in.
398
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:16,665
Yes. Working compact.
Holds up under X-ray.
399
00:19:17,189 --> 00:19:19,999
Desert Rose, to match your
complexion. But, oh, what's this?
400
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:21,832
A readout, okay?
401
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,430
It turns green
if you're in close enough proximity
402
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:26,601
to a computer to gain wireless access.
403
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:28,668
SIMMONS: And when it does,
you just drop this nearby and walk out.
404
00:19:28,768 --> 00:19:30,941
We'll do the rest. Easy as pie.
405
00:19:31,037 --> 00:19:33,779
Or it will be,
if you stick to the plan. (COCKS GUN)
406
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:38,288
Got it. Plan. Green. Drop. Walk. Pie.
407
00:19:40,613 --> 00:19:42,524
I don't wanna question your orders' sir.
408
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:43,954
Good.
409
00:19:44,383 --> 00:19:48,024
But I've already seen far more
combat than I bargained for.
410
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,031
This two-man extraction team?
411
00:19:50,122 --> 00:19:52,693
That's exactly
the kind of action I was hoping to avoid.
412
00:19:52,792 --> 00:19:53,896
That's why you're not on it.
413
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,702
Specialist work is different
from field work, believe me.
414
00:19:57,797 --> 00:19:58,867
When was the last time you...
415
00:19:58,964 --> 00:20:00,875
Hall's one of ours and he's in trouble.
416
00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:03,139
I need two men
to get him out. Ward makes one.
417
00:20:08,474 --> 00:20:10,044
So that's why I'm going in.
418
00:20:10,142 --> 00:20:13,146
You forget,
I saw plenty of action with the Avengers.
419
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:16,885
And you died.
420
00:20:16,982 --> 00:20:19,053
All right, team. Suit up.

Apologies for his manners. He
knows very little English.

Big fan. You built half of
Dubai, including the Arabian Blade.
432
00:21:10,536 --> 00:21:14,643
I love that building.
It's super sci-fi. Where's your wife?

00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,044
Wife's name's Nadrah.

this, people. It's like Siri, if it worked.

some pretty big secrets out to the public.

I prefer "hacktivist".
I'm glad you've heard of our site.
456
00:22:07,693 --> 00:22:09,502
I read it. We think very much alike.
457
00:22:09,595 --> 00:22:10,596
More freedom of information,
458

as the encrypted back channel

That's sort of where I live.

Well, I didn't
invite you here for your pretty face.
471
00:22:41,961 --> 00:22:43,634
I didn't know you had a pretty face.
472
00:22:43,696 --> 00:22:46,575
Yes, I wanna hire you,
before someone else snatches you up.

balance those scales.

00:25:10,776 --> 00:25:11,811
Of course you know what I mean.

You probably have, like,
10 pens for all your ideas.

What are you really doing?
524
00:25:19,885 --> 00:25:21,728
All right. I'm busted.
525
00:25:22,454 --> 00:25:24,730
I was trying to
get a glimpse behind your office door,
526
00:25:24,823 --> 00:25:25,893
see how things really operate.
527
00:25:25,991 --> 00:25:27,698
I invite you here as a guest,
528
00:25:27,793 --> 00:25:30,865

like another corrupt institution,

530
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:34,839
- Security...
- No, no, no, wait.
531
00:25:35,868 --> 00:25:39,338
It's just, with all these la-di-da
people, you have to be so guarded.
532
00:25:39,405 --> 00:25:40,884
So careful.
533
00:25:42,241 --> 00:25:46,656
What you say, what secrets you reveal.
534
00:25:48,814 --> 00:25:51,317
And I was hoping that you and I
535
00:25:52,918 --> 00:25:54,158
could be honest with one another.
536
00:25:56,588 --> 00:25:58,067

but she's just
sweet-talked her way into Quinn's office.
545
00:26:26,351 --> 00:26:27,625
How'd she manage that?

S.H.I.E.L.D. got to you?
559
00:26:58,450 --> 00:26:59,656
They picked me up in L.A.,
560
00:26:59,952 --> 00:27:03,297
I helped them in
a crisis, and now they wanna recruit me.
561
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:04,559
Of course they did.
562
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:05,727
So I played along.

I have a bunk on their plane.

I thought this qualified.

Why would they trust you
with a covert operation like this?

Something about S.H.I.E.L.D. not
breaking international laws.

They had no other options.

Well, they wanted me
