a suspect?

I skimmed all his posts,
anyone linked to his pages,

hoping for a crazy ex
or super-powered stalker,
186
00:08:49,395 --> 00:08:50,384
and he's clean.

Ward's right. We're missing something.
Dig deeper.

You've been pretty tough on her.
190
00:09:05,011 --> 00:09:06,638
She lied to us.
191

Contacted the Rising Tide
while we were on a mission.
192

If she wants our trust back,
she's got to earn it.
193
00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:13,376
The background she ran on Cross
is a good start.

He detected a strange energy
coming off the body.

00:09:43,783 --> 00:09:46,684
- He's afraid of it, isn't he?
- It's the smell!
203
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:48,310
There's no shame in it, Fitz.
204
00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:50,287
It's perfectly natural to be afraid.
205
00:09:50,356 --> 00:09:52,517
No, the only thing I'm afraid of
206
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:56,585

corrupting my pristine workspace.

you brought a dead thing into the lab?

Oh, not the stupid cat again!

- And it's our lab, Fitz, not your lab!
- The cat! Tell him about the cat.

Yes, sir.

Um, as I was saying,
this is the victim's brain.

a burned baked potato.

of electrostatic energy.

of a lightning bolt.

why the body was floating?

- (DOOR CLOSES)
- Not yet.
221

was temporarily altered

on its effects

A groundbreaking discovery!
414
00:22:06,525 --> 00:22:08,891
I believe the firefighters
initially contracted the virus

from the bodies of the firefighters?

Brain cells, yes.
The last vestiges of the infection.

Some viruses sleep inside host cells
for years before reproducing,
420

as they did inside the helmet,
the initial source.
421
00:22:26,345 --> 00:22:28,313
But what those cells tell us is that
422
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:31,178
we're dealing with a propagating virus,
which means...
423
00:22:31,249 --> 00:22:33,046
The virus can move
from person to person.
424
00:22:33,118 --> 00:22:36,645
Exactly! And that's
the most exciting part, how it spreads.

Everything's gonna be fine.
518
00:27:58,176 --> 00:28:00,770
Please stop saying that.
I see you looking at your watch.
519
00:28:02,947 --> 00:28:05,643
Are you sure you don't need
my help just to...
520
00:28:05,717 --> 00:28:07,412
Are you sure this thing even works?
521
00:28:07,485 --> 00:28:08,577
Yeah, well, you know it does.
522
00:28:08,653 --> 00:28:10,416
My device isn't the issue.
It's the vaccine.
523
00:28:10,488 --> 00:28:12,285
Anti-serum!
524
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:15,053
And all I'm wondering is
whether you calibrated it correctly...
525
00:28:15,126 --> 00:28:17,526
Hey, it's not the device!
Hey, don't put this on me!
526
00:28:17,595 --> 00:28:19,028
I was doing just fine tucked away
527
00:28:19,097 --> 00:28:21,463
in a safe, indoor, non-mobile lab
at the Academy.
528
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:24,798
Then you had to go and drag us into
this flying circus! (PANTING)
529
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:27,971
Didn't even pass our field assessments,
for God's sakes.
530
00:28:28,073 --> 00:28:30,906
Oh, please, as if I forced you
to follow me anywhere.
531
00:28:30,975 --> 00:28:32,408

"Oh, Fitz, it's the most perfect
opportunity for us to see the world!
533
00:28:36,514 --> 00:28:38,414
"We'd be fools to pass this one up."
534
00:28:38,483 --> 00:28:40,917
I hate it when you use that voice.
That's not even how I sound.
535
00:28:40,985 --> 00:28:42,885
And you were just afraid
of going into the field.
536
00:28:42,954 --> 00:28:43,943
I was not afraid.
537
00:28:44,022 --> 00:28:45,284
And don't you dare act like
these last months
538
00:28:45,356 --> 00:28:47,256
haven't been the highlight
of your entire pasty life.
539
00:28:47,325 --> 00:28:49,088
Pasty. Oh, really?
540
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,151
Well, when did you become
so sun-kissed?
541

(SCOFFS)
542
00:28:52,297 --> 00:28:54,697
Because I'm pretty sure
that every minute of every day,
543
00:28:54,766 --> 00:28:56,927
you've been stuck in a lab
right beside me.
544
00:28:57,001 --> 00:28:59,595
At the Academy, at Sci-Ops, this plane,
545
00:28:59,671 --> 00:29:02,572
you've been beside me
the whole damn time!
546
00:29:16,955 --> 00:29:18,820
You have to fix this.
547
00:29:19,657 --> 00:29:21,784
I don't know how, Fitz.
548
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:26,126
The antibodies
from the three firefighters
549
00:29:26,197 --> 00:29:29,132
aren't strong enough to fight this virus.
550
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,430
It's born from alien DNA.
551
00:29:34,806 --> 00:29:38,708
There's no one to create
an anti-serum from,
552
00:29:39,511 --> 00:29:43,174
because no one's actually
survived this except...
553
00:29:45,517 --> 00:29:47,280
BOTH: The Chitauri.
554
00:29:50,488 --> 00:29:53,616
The minky bastard who actually wore
the helmet had the virus...
555
00:29:53,691 --> 00:29:54,783
Yeah, and managed to survive
556
00:29:54,859 --> 00:29:56,827
without ever emitting
an electrostatic pulse because...
557
00:29:56,895 --> 00:29:58,419
- He was immune.
- Yes!
558
00:29:59,764 --> 00:30:02,858
She was just the carrier.
Like Typhoid Mary.
559
00:30:02,934 --> 00:30:06,461
Uh, she? Well, no, wait.
You don't really think that...
560
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:07,971
Okay. Doesn't matter.
561
00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,099
Um, so if I can scrape some epithelial
cells from the inside of the helmet,
562
00:30:11,176 --> 00:30:12,268
we can create a vaccine.
563
00:30:12,343 --> 00:30:15,244
Yes! Anti-serum, but yes!

You can't be in here!

Too late. It's done.

to keep your hands off me, yeah?

you think you're doing, but...

I'm doing what we always do.

but could you please tell my dad first?

I just think my mum would take it better
if it comes from him.

- And I was going to do it.
- I know you were.

00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:41,337
It wasn't Ward giving me hope
when I had none.
692
00:40:41,405 --> 00:40:42,736
It was you.
693
00:40:43,874 --> 00:40:45,569
You're the hero.
694
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:48,677
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
695
00:40:50,247 --> 00:40:51,771
Thank you.
696
00:41:18,542 --> 00:41:20,703
- Blake.
- Coulson.
697
00:41:32,056 --> 00:41:33,353
That's the best
you could come up with?
698
00:41:33,424 --> 00:41:34,823
"We've got a bad connection"?
699
00:41:34,892 --> 00:41:36,917
- I was pressed for time.
- Bold move.
700
00:41:36,994 --> 00:41:38,518
You know our chat
wasn't exactly private.
701
00:41:38,596 --> 00:41:39,620
They never are.
702
00:41:39,697 --> 00:41:41,221
I don't know
what happened to you in New York,
703
00:41:41,298 --> 00:41:42,356
if you really flatlined,
704
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:45,594
or if that's just what they tell us
when we reach Level 7.
