Coulson: 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.

Yo-yo: (As clone) 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.

- Simmons: What happened? - He iced her.

- She didn't want to come. - I'm not leaving anyone behind.

I'm using Enoch to power the machine.

(Machine whirring)

Son of a bitch!

May: The rock's gonna open. Get here now!

(Explosion)

(Rock music plays)

(Knocking on door)

(Music continues through earphones)

Sure, why wait for me to answer your knock when you can just walk right on in?

And why put your phone down, when you can just be a brainless,

drooling moron?

I always look foward to our chats.

Ears, please.

They're saying you skipped class yesterday.

- I wasn't in the mood. - (Sighs) Ruby.

I expect better from you, okay? This behaviour is not acceptable.

But you're always telling me to stay true to myself.

So, what if I said my true self couldn't care less?

Then I'd say get your ass to class,

othennise you're gonna lose your damn screen time.

Okay.

Sorry, mum.

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, mum?

Are you a good guy?

Where did 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

and thought that they were the good guys, so...

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

- You're obsessed with Daisy Johnson. - Quake.

- My orders are to capture her. - Not kill?

Ruby...

This is my assignment.

Okay? And in the adult realm, we all have to answer to someone.

Even me.

- I do what I must... - "...What I must, to build a better world

"for the downtrodden citizens."

For you, Ruby.

I do this for you, okay? So, try to remember that.

When they resurface, I'll put an end to all of this.

This entire S.H.I.E.L.D. chapter will be over.

(Whooshing)

(Breathing heavily)

(Whooshing)

- Ah. - (Breathing heavily)

Fitz: Well, that was a hell of a thing.

- I'm so glad you guys made it. - Why are we still in the lighthouse?

- Mack: Maybe flint's monolith didn't work? - So, we find him, try again.

(All breathing heavily)

No, it worked.

It takes you through time, but to the same place.

I've been here before with Enoch.

- We made it. - (May chuckles)

- We're home? - Yeah.

(Coulson sighs)

- Simmons: Oh, we're home. - Fitz: I'm gonna try and find some light.

It's hard to believe we're back.

Find me a double cheese burger, I'll believe it.

(Projector turns on)

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. - Coulson: Rick stoner?

- As you know, certain world events... - I've heard of him.

Should they occur, trigger what we here in s. H. I. E.L.D. Call project reclamation.

This protocol was designed as a black ops action,

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

Once initiated, project reclamation is conducted through secure communications

known as "electronic mail."

Our agents were instructed to gather you, the selected elite,

- from a host of nations... - Must never have 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. - 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 wanna kill you.

Stoner: I see you've all brought belongings.

Let's put the non-essentials in the basement storage facility.

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

- that s. H. I. E.L.D. Can offer. - Coulson: Good.

We need communications. May, why don't you take the tour.

- Got it. - Follow me. This way.

(Chuckles) See? Here I am.

- Over here. - May: Fitz, you're with me.

Daisy: You iced me.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping you'd forget that part.

(Grunts) Sorry to disappoint.

It looks the same, but we're... We're home, aren't we?

Did you really think, after everything we've been through, you and me...

That there was any universe in which I left you behind?

- Even with all of the risks, I... - Don't care. I need you here.

Stoner: This S.H.I.E.L.D. technology will make you think

that the 1980s got here a bit early.

Fitz: Okay. Not really a dream-come-true scenario.

There's stuff here we can use... With some adjustments.

Stoner: Now, don't just stand there gawking.

Please follow me into the other room

and deposit your valuables in the provided lock boxes.

Hey, you in the back, you wanna try to keep up.

What is it?

Oh.

That's quite unsettling.

Where did they come from?

- Man: Unknown. - (Both gasp)

Ah. Perhaps I should not have startled you. Hello. I'm Noah.

I'm a sentient chronicom from a planet which revolves around a star

- in the constellation... - Cygnus.

- Got it. - Fitz: You're a chronicom?

- I am. - Did you know Enoch?

I did. He's 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.

Noah: Follow me upstairs, I'll show you.

Noah: Here, we can monitor any unusual activity anywhere on earth.

We chronicoms monitor the line between the world and a stranger world.

Yeah, you monitor it... And do nothing about it.

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

- Ma: "An extinction level event." - Fitz: "An extinction level event."

- 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.

And what's this one?

Noah: 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. (Sighs)

- 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? - Noah: 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 can show you where it is.

- Great. But I'm not going. - What?

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 with all of Noah's dope-ass equipment.

Daisy: "Dope-ass" is a... It's a good thing.

May: So, what do we do?

Just walk out the front door into town?

Well, we are wanted. After what Fitz said about general hale's task force,

- we need to be covert. - Noah: You will be.

The lighthouse has a few covert entrances.

Simmons: This place has secret tunnels.

- Like an Agatha christie novel. - More like c.H.U.D.

Noah: There are a few tunnels, but this one takes you underground

to the charming little town of river's end.

- From there, it is up to you. - No time like the present. Let's go.

(Birds chirping)

(Breathing deeply)

Man: Good morning.

We really are home.

(Bird caws)

We have to get moving.

How about that one, mack?

- Sure. - Here comes the catch.

- But there's a catch. - Come on, we're damn spies.

I think it's admirable of him.

We'll return the Van when we're done. No stealing. I promise.

Okay.

Daisy: If I'm gonna be holed up here for a while,

it's good to know that it's fortified.

It's kind of the perfect place to hide out.

You are typing with my keyboard.

Which is fine, it does not bother me, even though you did not ask.

- But why are you typing? - I'm setting up an alert.

Even though my friends have been out in the world for, like, four minutes,

it'll let me know if one of them is spotted.

- It has been much longer than four... - Dramatic effect, Noah.

These things look roomier from the outside.

- It'll get us where we need to go. - Hey, could be worse.

True. We could be enslaved by an alien sociopath

in a dystopian future.

Or we could be trapped inside a virtual-reality fascist state.

Or stuck at the bottom of the ocean.

- Or stopping a crazy robot lady. - Or falling out of a plane.

- Fighting Daisy's mum. - Or fighting Daisy's dad.

Or dancing.

Wait.

We're not just wanted. We're most wanted.

- Top of the lists. All the lists. - Yes.

It seems you are the object of much interest right now.

Every local pd has our picture.

Which means, to anyone with a badge...

We're famous.

(Siren chirps)

Everyone just stay calm.

- Hi, officer. Is there a problem? - You tell me.

Oh, this right here? No, I was sparring.

No, I mean, the Van. This is John nickel's Van.

Mm. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, is it a clunker or what?

'Cause he's been trying to sell it for months.

Hey, be honest. How badly did he fleece you on this?

Are you kidding me?

You know how long I've been looking for a 1975 t-21600 engine

with shag carpeting? (Chuckles)

John's price was more than fair. It was a steal.

- First time for everything, I guess. - Yeah, yeah.

- You guys have a great day. - Coulson: You too.

Thank you.

That's closer than I would have liked.

Coulson: We're lucky this is a quiet, simple town.

We don't make any noise, we can keep it that way.

(Dog barking)

(Whooshing)

(Pants)

(Sighs)

Oh, boy.

(Pants)

You gotta be kidding me.

(Whines)

- Not from here. - Woman: Hey, I get it.

- It's a pretty tree. - Yeah, I've never seen anything like it.

Yeah, that'll probably stop when whatever you took wears off.

(Whines)

(Yelps)

(Chuckles)

(Breath es h eavily)

(Chuckles)

(Chuckles)

Hey, I did get some of it right.

Barkeep... (Sighs)

I'd like to try a beer. A real one, please.

One real beer. You got it.

(Beer pouring)

(Grunts) Mm...

Oh, god! That does not taste like it looks.

Do you have anything else that's like this, but...

Delicious?

Yeah.

(Uncaps bottle)

(Groans)

Mm.

Oh!

(Chuckles)

Just need you to settle up, buddy.

- Oh. Right. Yeah. Settle up what? - Your tab. You forgot to pay.

Ah! Right. Okay, sorry, here you go.

We take credit cards or cash. Whatever works best for you.

Right.

Credit cards or cash, 'cause that's how people pay for things here. Now. Here.

Okay.

(Grunts, coughs)

- Dude. - No, it's okay, man. I'm from the future.

(Groans)

(Beeps)

- How do you feel? - Like I've never loved gravity more.

(Chuckles)

Hey, maybe you should have Simmons take a look.

I'm fine. Just a headache.

Sir? I think we found something.

(Sighs) You got a location where that light is pointing?

It's an aerospace industries laboratory. It just seemed a bit serendipitous.

Yeah, so it got me thinking,

we were assuming we were seeing a light coming down from the sky.

- But we're not. - Well, it only looks like that

because of the frame rate. It's like...

How a strobe can make dripping water look like it's moving upwards.

So, if I adjust the frames per second...

- It's being sent from earth. - Fitz: Yeah.

So, once we saw that, we knew what it was.

Noah said the wavelength was unusual. He was right, but it's also familiar.

This is the beacon hive used, sir...

To call the kree to earth.

Now, someone's using it again.

I know what's got you worried.

- No, it's just... - "How will I ever find job satisfaction

"without crushing rocks for no good reason?"

- (Yo-yo chuckles) - Mack: Am I right?

It's like you can read my mind.

- (Sighs) - Hey.

A lot of stuff happened.

I mean, kasius was toying with us.

- And we don't know what we saw back there. - I do.

She said things. Upsetting things.

Kasius was using her to mess with you.

Or he was using her to mess with me. I mean, we can't let her rattle us.

And what if I can't let it go?

Uh. Well, look at it like this.

We're gonna change the future anyway.

I hope we do.

He was crazy.

But we can't let him in our heads. We need our heads in the game.

Both of us. Right?

Yeah.

(Breath es deeply)

Okay. (Sighs)

Who knows what's true and what's not, right?

That's right.

Now... (Chuckles)

Do I need to find a giant rock so you can crush it?

- Hm? - (Chuckles)

Baby, I don't need a rock to crush it.

Oh... (Chuckles) No, you do not.

(Mack chuckles)

(Computer beeps)

- Rick stoner, you mad genius. - (Computer beeps)

(Computer beeps)

Noah: What was that noise?

It's the alert that I set up, but this...

This is impossible.

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

This man is unfamiliar to me.

I know him, but from where we all just were, he... he can't be here.

I mean, he cannot be around the cops.

You're concerned he will alert the authorities to your presence?

We're the only people that he knows in this time. He could tell them that.

You have to go get him out of lockup. I obviously can't go.

I cannot. That would be interfering

- with the natural course of... - You people literally kidnapped us

and then took us to another time.

As has been thoroughly explained, that was an extinction-level event.

Also, it was Enoch.

Enoch is very reckless. But you know this, you've met him.

(Sighs)

(Sighs) Fine. |'|| go.

But first, I'm gonna need your clothes.

(Engine roars)

(Explosion)

Simmons: Still not a soul.

Facing no opposition is usually a good thing, but this...

Yeah, it's giving me the creeps.

Simmons: It's a firewall. An actual firewall.

It's a safety protocol.

Fitz, signs of life?

(Tablet scanning)

Wait, hang on. There's someone in there, and they're alone.

Now.

- Not another step, or I'll... - Coulson: Piper?

Hey, guys. (Pants)

(Sighs)

I don't know how the exact people I needed to show up just showed up, but...

- Thank you, universe. - The feeling's mutual, trust me.

- What are you doing here? - (Sighs) Same thing as you, probably.

That thing's about to fire up again.

I don't know how to stop it.

I'm saying that it's impossible to imagine anything

that you can't imagine. Like, I couldn't imagine food

that was shaped like animals. Like that was...

It totally caught me by surprise. I...

Look, I get that you're not believing my story, sure. But I've got friends.

I've got friends in really high government places.

We just need to get to them, and then they can smooth this all out.

- Hi, there. - Yes?

Um. Chief wellins, is it? I'm here for deke Shaw over there.

I'm his state-assigned social worker.

He didn't mention a social worker was supervising him. Your name?

- Sinara. Sinara Smith. - (Scoffs)

It's Portuguese. Sinara. (Chuckles) Not Smith.

He wandered off during a day trip. My apologies.

- He was out of control. - Daisy: Yeah.

- Says you. - He's not even my toughest customer,

believe me. He's just a little slippery.

If you check online, you'll see that I sent out an alert when I lost him.

What are mr Shaw's issues?

I mean, how much time do you have, sir? (Chuckles)

Uh... complex neurological deficiencies. Low...

Low IQ. Poor motor skills.

Oh. He hasn't... uh, soiled himself today, has he?

No, but he was quite inebriated. He told us he was saving the world.

- Hm. Imagine that. - Not the first guy we've picked up

who's made big claims.

It seems like you've got your work cut out for you with this one.

Chief, you have no idea.

You look like you're ready to suit up for battle.

We just got a call, ma'am. S.H.I.E.L.D. has been spotted.

Orders?

Keep them there.

(Indistinct chatter)

I can't tell you how relieved I am to see you all. (Sighs) In one piece.

So, what happened? How'd you end up here?

May: Yeah, and last we saw you, you haloed out of the Zephyr.

With instructions that if the fight didn't go your way, I'd tell your story.

Make sure aida and the Russian didn't get away with it.

- Ivanov. - Yeah, but I never heard

which way it went.

No news. No confirmation if...

- If we were dead? - Yeah, that.

So, I looked for you. Everywhere.

Safe houses, any S.H.I.E.L.D. contacts I could find.

- I even had eyes on your families. - May: Great.

One more thing for my mother to be paranoid about.

I was stealth. Hey, let's not forget, I'm most wanted too, you know?

So, where on earth were you hiding?

Well, technically, it was earth.

Story for another time. Go on.

I had my eye on every news outlet.

Anything that looked like you guys getting into trouble, or out of it.

Saw a report about a light coming from the sky.

And you recognised the beacon?

- Well, even took Fitz-Simmons a few hours. - Piper: Yeah, well, let's not forget,

that was my first mission to union city with you all. Called up from the minors.

It was a big day for me. Plus, aliens, you know, they leave an impression.

(Scoffs) You have no idea.

So, you came here to warn the staff.

Yeah, and to kick the blue ass of anything that showed up. I was trained well.

They had the beacon here on government contract.

Just examining it, and it turned on. Totally random.

- Did they try to shut it down? - Yeah, they couldn't.

And I don't do science, so I sent everyone away.

Well, Fitz-Simmons will figure it out. Hm. Eventually.

Yeah. Question is... How long is eventually?

Yeah. Could be too late.

(Whirring)

Daisy: So, yeah, if you check river's end pd online account,

you'll see that I went ahead and took care of mr Shaw's bail.

(Clears throat) What did we discuss about wandering off without permission?

- Don't wander off without permission. - Don't... exactly, we went over this.

Uh. I also went ahead and made a small contribution

to the department's charity fund to thank you for your trouble.

Truth is, I have no desire to keep drunks here in the office.

You should go, but take better care of your charges, ms Smith.

Yes, chief. Thank you. Of course.

Hold on!

Yeah?

(Sighs) There's still papennork you need to fill out.

Yeah, of course. Whatever you need.

- Dude. - I know.

There'sjust so much papennork, right?

Oh, you probably meant how did I get here? Well, I don't know.

I was with the monolith, and there was a shard,

and I turned the machine on, and then the rock turned to liquid,

and then there was, like, buzzing, dizzy, and pushing and pulling,

but then bang, zima!

How do you show up in another time and, like, immediately get arrested?

Have you even tried zima?

(Daisy clears throat)

Thank you. I thought they might've gotten you to talk about us or something.

What? No. I... I know you guys are covert.

I'm not gonna talk about you. You forget, I survived the kree.

Yeah, by ratting people out.

Yes, true, that did happen, but not this time.

I thought you'd be, like, emotionally distraught or something.

Emotionally distraught? This is awesome! I thought that I was gonna die.

But instead, I'm about to go for a walk outside.

Also, there is an outside!

I was walking here, and yes, I was pretty drunk,

but I saw in a store window there was these green apples, and steaks,

and this thing called gummy bears.

You know, what people aren't eating here is sterilisation pellets.

- I love this place so much. - Okay, yeah,

but it's not all fun and games, okay? So...

Great. So, just this and then we're free to go?

That, and I'll need a number where I can reach you,

so we can follow up.

No problem.

(Cuckstongue)

(Whirring)

- Think I've got it. - Makes me look like an idiot. (Sighs)

You've taken on a lot alone.

Yeah, but you guys don't look like you've been on vacation.

When do I get the download?

- (Whirring stops) - (Sighs)

Power source was being set off by this.

It's a bimetallic thermal expansion trigger.

Well, that... (Stutters) Basically, it's a timer.

- Looks man-made. - Yeah, it is.

Everything else in here is new to me. This was installed by hand.

- Fitz: A little sloppily, if you ask me. - Piper: I told you. I don't do science.

(Gun cocks)

Relax, no one needs to get hurt.

(Guns cock)

What is this?

- I'm sorry. Hey, I'm most wanted too. - You cut a deal?

- You're saying the beacon... - The beacon wasn't meant to call aliens.

It was meant to call you.

Commando: Drop your weapon.

(Gun clatters)

The guns are just so nobody does anything stupid.

- Too late for that. - Piper, why?

I followed your orders.

Truthfully, I thought you were dead. When they nabbed me, I told your story.

- To general hale. - Everything.

Ivanov, Radcliffe, lmds, framework. Look, hale knows you're not guilty.

She guaranteed your safety. She just... she wanted to bring you in.

You don't have to run anymore.

Commando: Your orders?

Kill them.

(Whooshing)

(Yells)

(Grunting)

(Grunting)

- Guaranteed our safety? - What...?

(Grunting)

(Yo-yo grunts)

(May grunts)

No, it's "do not engage." It's capture, not kill.

Looks a lot like kill.

(Electricity crackles)

They're not human! Go for the face! (Grunts)

- You were trained better than this. - No, hale is an ally.

Talbot's in a coma, she's general in command. I thought...

No, she's us military. Look, I just wanted to help.

And you got played.

(Grunting)

We have to take this thing and get out of here

before we're all killed. Are you gonna help?

(Mack grunts)

(Groans)

Piper, pick a side, but we're going.

I'll cover you.

(Groans)

Mack!

- (Whooshing) - (Flesh slicing)

Yo-yo! Yo-yo!

(Yelling echoes)

(Echoes) Go. Go.

Hold on, we're gonna get you to the hospital.

It's too risky.

Confia Jemma.

- We're right here. - (Yo-yo groans)

I'm so sorry.

It's all coming true.

Okay, fancy stuff, here we go.

You don't know what any of this is, do you?

I know computers.

- These are computers, right? - Hello. I'm Noah.

I believe saving you from imprisonment was wrong.

Oh. All right, cool. Well, you seem fun.

May: (On radio) Daisy. Daisy, come in. We need to land.

Somewhere close, and fast.

May, yeah, I've got a surprise for you.

- Rick stoner put in a... - May: Send me the coordinates, now!

- May? You guys okay? - May: Hurry, Daisy. Please.

You're late.

Perhaps you'd like to explain what the hell happened out there.

I forced their hand.

Is this some sort ofjoke to you?

They're gonna have to seek medical attention.

Now maybe that's gonna get them right where we want them.

No, we had them

- right where we wanted them. - We didn't have Daisy Johnson.

- You promised me Daisy Johnson. - She didn't show up tonight.

Well, I think if! Keep cutting her friends' arms off, she will.

Your work is sloppy and incomplete, and you've been trained to do better.

- Which is why you don't skip class. - Does it matter?

- They took the beacon. - The beacon was a back-up.

A prop.

You're my daughter.

And a disappointment.

At least the beacon will do what it's supposed to do.

(Tablet beeps)

Daisy: Fitz...

- I just wanted to make sure... - Yeah, we scanned for signals before

- we landed. We're not being tracked. - Okay, good.

We're just waiting for the internal circuitry to cool down.

- Just takes a lot to power this thing. - But it is not cooling down.

- How is... how is she? - Still no word.

- Jemma's in with her now. - In fact, it is heating up.

- Run. - What?

Run. Go. Go, now!

(Whirring)

(Explosion)

(Panting)

Mr creel.

(Sighs)

Figured I'd see you again soon.

Yes, well, I told you I'd find you once S.H.I.E.L.D. showed up again.

I told you, I'm not interested in being the government's hired gun.

I'm done with that. Didn't do Talbot any good.

Yes, well, I'm not interested in a hired gun.

I'm putting together a team.

(Exhales)
