"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."...
You were dead for... days.
- I wanted to die.
- And we should have let you.
We gave you a pleasant memory
of a beautiful island.
You spent no time at the Academy.
I didn't go to your S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hogwarts or whatever.
And an 0-8-4 is...?
An object of unknown origin.
Kind of like you.
Skye's trying to I.D. the agent
that dropped her off at the orphanage.
- We agreed to protect her from the truth.
- You have to decide why you're here.
If you can't put aside
your personal attachments,
then you shouldn't be here.

I completely blew the question
on Von Neumann's entropy.
Freaking thermodynamics.
[chuckles] Test's over, Callie.
Just let it go.
Yeah, that's easy for you to say.
You probably aced it.
What you need is a little distraction.
- This will distract me just fine.
- Well, suit yourself.
Whoo!
Come on, Callie! Live a little!
[laughs]
Girl: What are you waiting for?
[laughs] Callie, relax!
Girl: Guess, we've earned this.
Come on, have some fun, Callie.
Girl: Come on, take it on!
[laughs]
[cracking]
Guys... get out.
They can't bust us for coming in here!
Get out now!
No! Get it off me!
Aah!
Seth, pull!
I'm trying!
Aah! Aah!
My leg! Get it off me!
[grunting]
Aah!
[breathing heavily]
1x12 - Seeds
Simmons: There is
nothing more unsettling,
being a part of something so
horrible, completely unaware.
The Cadet could have died.
We drew up those concepts years ago.
We didn't know they'd
be applied in that way.
Is this the device they
found in the frozen pool?
Correction... the
instantly frozen indoor pool.
It seems like it was planted
in the filter days before,
like someone was waiting
for those specific Cadets.
Well, as far as they can tell, the device
uses a crystalline nucleation
process she designed.
And a delivery mechanism he invented.
That's why we're being asked
to consult on the investigation.
- So we're going to the Academy?
- Science and technology division.
Cadets are pretty shaken
up over what happened.
Agent Weaver asked if you two
could speak to the student body
- about potentiality to calm them down.
- Of course. The talk.
We've all heard the talk.
- I haven't.
- I guess you will.
Well, I've heard a lot about the Academy.
I'm excited to finally see it.
Me, too.
Never been to Sci-Tech before.
Never? Huh.
The different S.H.I.E.L.D.
academies don't interact?
[scoffs] Ward: Not much.
Academy of communications does,
but they're the biggest and
focused on data analysis.
- It's the easiest to get into.
- Boring.
- That's where you'd be, Skye.
- Thanks.
Ward: Operations is the
most aggressive program.
More people wash out of operations
than the other academies.
So which one's the hardest to get into?
I'm picking up on the rivalry
between sciences and operations.
Are you and Coulson past all that,
or you gonna help Ward steal their mascot?
We're not going.
After we drop you off,
Coulson and I have other
matters to attend to.
[footsteps depart]
Coulson hasn't come out
of his office in awhile.
- Do you think he's all right?
- We saw him at a low.
It's not easy for anybody.
But Coulson's tough as they come.
He'll be good.
Just give him time.
And while he takes that time,
it's on us to figure out
what's going on at the Academy.
Simmons: This was the SSR facility
before S.H.I.E.L.D. was even founded.
"SSR" stands for...
Strategic scientific reserve.
Yeah, I know.
Is this where you got all your PHDs?
Oh, no, you need at least
one to get through the door.
Is science and technology
what you imagined, Agent Ward?
Yep... no uniforms, no rope course,
no defined muscularity on anyone.
No marching in place, no
I.Q.s in double digits.
There they are.
So good to see you.
- You look as lovely as ever.
- I concur.
Thank you.
Agent Ward.
Pleasure to have you, sir.
Agent Weaver.
There's a list of suspects?
Based on the level of
intelligence it would take
to put a device together
like the one we found,
we've narrowed it down to
the top 10% of our Cadets.
I'm worried there's a bad seed.
Ops and sciences have differences,
but both have to be careful
about what we call "bad seeds,"
people who want to use the
tools we give them for...
"Bad seed" isn't a S.H.I.E.L.D. term,
Ward, just a term.
I know you've already
questioned the victim,
but I have a few questions
I'd like to ask him myself.
I'll arrange for you
to talk to Seth Dormer
when he's out of class.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'd like to get Agents
Fitz and Simmons settled
into the lecture hall.
Skye: Look at them...
the popular kids.
- Who knew?
- I did. Come on.
While we have a minute,
I think there's something
you'll want to see.
- Skye: The Wall of valor.
- Ward: So you've read about it?
Every S.H.I.E.L.D.
facility has a memorial
to the agents lost in the line of duty.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s history can
be traced on walls like this.
Huh.
- "Bucky" Barnes.
- Puts it in perspective... what we do.
Must make you guys proud...
all this history.
Just wish I was a part of it.
It's not self-pity, really.
I'm just saying everyone
here has earned this.
They deserve it. I hacked my way in...
feels like I cheated.
All you need to join is
a dedication to the greater good.
Coulson saw that in you
the moment he met you.
May: [sighs]
- You have got to put that away.
- How can I? You read it.
And you haven't stopped reading it.
I just can't get my head around it.
I remember what happened...
the pain...
- but I also remember Tahiti. It's...
- What's in that file... it's the truth.
Says who?
- Director Fury.
- If I hadn't asked,
he'd have kept it from
me, kept me from knowing.
And now that you know, you feel better?
Put it away.
[sighs]
You want to tell me why
we're flying to Mexico City?
To get your head working
on something else.
I've been looking into
Skye's past, like you asked,
into the agent who dropped
her off at the orphanage.
Agent Avery. She was killed.
But her partner wasn't.
He disappeared.
- Richard Lumley.
- Went off-grid 23 years ago,
- day after Avery was crossed off.
- He's resurfaced?
A few days ago, a Mexican teenager
posted a selfie on his facebook page...
managed to capture our guy leaving
a grocery store in the background.
If he's good enough to avoid
S.H.I.E.L.D. all these years,
- he'll know.
- And he'll be on the move.
We have a short window to intercept.
- He may have killed Agent Avery.
- Or wanted to avoid the same fate.
Find him, we find out.
How long till we touch down?
40 minutes. I'll gas the car.
Today, we're proud to welcome back
two of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy's finest,
our youngest graduates to date.
You know their names.
Please join me in welcoming
Agent Leopold Fitz
and Agent Jemma Simmons.
[applause]
Thank you, Agent Weaver.
It's nice to be back.
Unfortunately, it has to be
under these circumstances.
Fitz: If you don't know the
history of S.H.I.E.L.D. by now,
there's no excuse...
unless you fell asleep in
Professor Vaughn's class...
that's a perfectly acceptable excuse.
[laughter]
Our instinct as scientists
is to move forward,
advance quickly, push the envelope.
But given recent events, it makes
sense to reflect back on our history.
Ward: And you can't think of any reason
a top student would want to go after you?
No.
Um, the top students are my friends.
It's competitive here,
but we usually don't resort
to knocking each other off.
This isn't operations... no offense.
None taken. All these names
you would consider friendly?
Well... not Donnie Gill.
I barely know the kid.
- He doesn't talk to anyone.
- And he was at the pool.
Studying, but I don't think he's the guy.
He just has trouble communicating
with anyone below a 170 I.Q.
And S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded
after the SSR was able to
defeat the nearly indomitable
force known as Hydra.
We tend to forget that
these organizations...
Hydra, Centipede, A.I.M...
were also made up of
extremely brilliant scientists,
men and women who started
with the same unlimited
potential as you or I.
Potential can sometimes be dangerous.
Plutonium has the potential to
power a city... or to be a nuclear bomb.
Simmons: Today, we'd like to share
a few stories from the field
in which we learned this lesson up close
and faced the consequences
when untested technology
or biology lands in the wrong hands.
And don't worry...
we brought pictures.
[laughter] Oh, god.
Oh, god!
What is this?!
Hey, what's happening to me?!
Help me!
Help me!
Get it off!
Make it stop!
Help me get it off!
No! Make it stop!
[woman screams]
[woman screams]
Simmons: Find exposed skin.
He needs glucose to raise his
body's natural freezing point.
Simmons, I need something
to break the ice.
[crowd murmuring]
- Jemma. Ready?
- Yeah.
Ward: Fitz, talk to me.
Something's doing this to him.
Find it.
- Ward, there it is. Fitz, what now?
- Smash the damn thing!
[cracking]
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
Fitz: It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's over.
[applause]
Who would do this?
I don't want to hear
excuses why it didn't work.
I have people who do that for me.
I just want you to take
care of it before I arrive.
Just keep in mind how much
this will benefit us both, yeah?
Man: Mr. Quinn, plane's
waiting for you, sir.
And you can't think of anyone
here who'd want to hurt you?
I don't know anyone.
Donnie, I'm gonna have you
escorted back to your room.
You get some rest and stay warm.
Sorry I ruined your lecture.
I was really looking forward to it.
Simmons: It's not your fault, Donnie.
No genetic materials or
prints found on the device.
The components are rare and expensive.
Freshman pranks are tradition,
but these are something else.
Attempted ***.
So, Donnie was the
intended target all along?
He have anything in common
with the Cadets at the pool?
- These kids were popular.
Donnie was... - Not.
Donnie hadn't made any enemies here,
but he hadn't made any friends, either.
He had a hard time
adjusting? How old is he?
18, youngest since you guys.
190 I.Q. and failing out of
high school when we met him.
- Probably bored out of his mind.
- Mhm.
If things went well, we were
considering graduating him early
and assigning him to the Sandbox.
Wow.
Well, he would love it there.
But he doesn't like it here,
so I'm afraid he'll wash out.
Ward: Maybe that was the idea.
Agent Weaver, keep working
with investigations...
- interviewing Cadets, instructors.
- Of course.
- And us?
- Their interviews won't bear fruit.
We teach Cadets to keep secrets.
Where did you guys hang out
when you wanted to get
away from the faculty?
Can we tell someone from operations?
Yes, because we need to
conduct our own investigation.
[horns honking]
[engine shuts off]
Coulson: Dario Marquez's dress shop.
Marquez doesn't do the
best papers in town,
but he also doesn't use a computer.
So, if Lumley's gonna make a run for it,
your guess is he might
pass through that door.
It's worth a shot, so we wait.
- Simmons: And when we get there?
- We mingle, low key.
You and Skye get comfortable
with the students...
see if you can get them gossiping.
Skye looks young enough to blend in.
You're not exactly old man river,
and Fitz looks younger than us.
Time will come when you
won't make fun of me for that.
You'll be jealous.
You'll be jealous, wrinkly old hags.
- I want Fitz to go talk to Donnie.
- Sorry?
Donnie's withdrawn, might
know more than he's letting on.
You're a hero here, Fitz.
He looks up to you.
Go hang out with him.
Even if he has no clue
who might be after him,
- he could use a friend.
- That is a wonderful idea.
Ward has them from time to time.
I'll meet you later.
- What? It's strategic.
- It's adorable.
The Tin Man has a heart after all.
So, where are we going?
[both chuckles]
S.H.I.E.L.D. keeps careful watch
of everything within their walls,
so in the late '60s, to escape the cameras
and the prying eyes of the faculty,
a few Cadets started sneaking
down to the boiler room
to play cards, you know, exchange ideas.
Skye: My kind of people.
Some amazing breakthroughs
have come out of here.
- So the tradition lives on.
- Of cramming into the boiler room?
[indistinct conversations]
Well, over the years, we
made a few improvements.
[dance music plays]
Do you have one of these at operations?
- No.
- Did not think so.
Drinks are on me.
- Donnie.
- Agent Fitz, sir.
Oh, please. Call me "Fitz."
Mind if I come in?
Yeah... no.
I mean, no, I don't.
Okay, my room was just
like this, except, um,
um, there was a lot more
laundry on the floor.
[chuckles]
You feeling better?
You know, you shouldn't be afraid
to tell me if you think
someone could be targeting you.
I'm not. It was... it
was probably just a prank.
- Freshmen get pranked.
- I remember vividly,
but that doesn't mean that every
freshman needs to be thawed.
Is that a design for organic
light-emitting diodes?
- For active camouflage, I'm thinking.
- Hmm.
An ionized air cannon?
- It's so small.
- Well, I was able to double the
- pressurization by making...
- By making it compact.
Clever. I must say...
these ideas are way beyond
what I was toying with
in my first few months.
You shouldn't keep these
big ideas to yourself.
You should run them by your instructors.
These aren't my big ideas.
So... say you're gonna
do what this guy did...
leave S.H.I.E.L.D., go off the grid.
What's your move?
I'd hide in the wheel well of a 747 flight
from Newark to Singapore.
Oxygen, a chute.
The back half of the trip
passes over 3,000 miles of land,
a dozen countries...
could drop anywhere.
You'd probably head to South America.
- You speak Spanish.
- Vacation Spanish.
Lima, most likely, what
with the growing food scene.
- All right, what's up?
- You tell me.
- You're talking, more than ever.
- 'Cause you're not.
And you suddenly became active
on the Skye investigation?
She's proved herself...
stepped up in a big way...
for our team, for you.
Is that it, or is it just to distract me?
[sighs] Both.
I know you're having a
hard time believing what...
They changed my memories.
Who's to say they didn't change more?
[sighs] I say.
I know you, Phil, and I knew you before.
You'd know I'd be the
first to go down that road
if I thought it led somewhere.
Do you believe me, at least?
- Do you...
- Yes.
Good.
But I'm tired of secrets,
so I'm glad we're here.
We need to root out all the secrets.
Agent Ward and I have been having sex...
I got him.
[car door opens]
[indistinct conversations]
He's headed your way.
Looks like he's heading down the alley.
Aah!
[grunting]
[tires screech]
I'm Agent Coulson, with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Oh, thank god.
It's about the baby girl, isn't it?
Cyanide?
What did you think we
were gonna do to you?
- What they did to her.
- Agent Linda Avery?
She wasn't the first one to die.
We were headed into the
Hunan province of China.
A senior agent had
called in an 0-8-4.
An object of unknown origin.
We've dealt with those before.
He said the entire village had
died trying to protect this one.
Avery and I were just
fresh out of the Academy.
And there was five of us
just running the back end,
until we lost communication
with the first team.
We went searching.
We found the senior agent under a bridge.
He... he managed to escape
with a gunshot wound to the neck,
but he bled out.
He was still holding on to the 0-8-4.
[scoffs]
Poor thing was covered in blood.
We thought she was dead, too,
but sh... she was just asleep
in the dead agent's arms.
I... the baby?
The girl was the 0-8-4?
If she had powers or something,
we never witnessed it.
The five of us helicoptered
the kid off, headed home.
After we landed, we
started getting crossed off.
- Executed?
- Tortured, heads bashed in.
And when it came down to Avery and I,
we realized the only
way to keep our people
and the kid from being hunted...
- Was to erase her from existence.
- Avery was smart.
She used the lead agent's credentials
to fake a level 8 clearance,
she set up a nearly invisible protocol.
The foster system was ordered
to move the child around every few months.
- But they still got to Avery.
- She died protecting that secret.
- And you left town.
- Oh, I left everything.
I mean, whoever killed that kid's family
and all those agents was
a force to be reckoned with.
- And that girl...
- Don't tell me a damn thing about her.
I don't want to know.
You understand?
Just tell me... is she okay?
- She's safe.
- Then maybe it was all worth it.
- You taking me in?
- Yeah.
No.
I'm not sure S.H.I.E.L.D. is the
safest place for you right now.
We'll get in the air and drop
you somewhere along the route.
Thank you.
Bit of advice... stop digging and
stay the hell away from that girl.
'Cause wherever she goes, death follows.
It's best no one knows about this,
for Skye's safety and for ours.
You can never tell her.
[dance music plays]
- Bartender seemed chatty.
- He's in computer sciences.
Didn't take long to convince
him I was a level 7 CS operative.
And guess where I'm
stationed... the Sandbox.
- Good thinking.
- I asked if any of the Cadets
had hopes on getting assigned there.
Behind me... the curls.
Callie Hannigan... ambitious,
gunned hard for getting
assigned to the Sandbox.
And apparently, word's gotten
around she just lost the top spot.
- She was at the pool.
- But didn't want to go in.
Fitz: A battery that
carries a terawatt of energy?
- This is amazing.
- Would be if it worked.
I'm... I'm close.
I've built some quarter scale,
and they would work at that size,
but the beat increases at
a 4-to-1 ratio with scale.
And it melts down.
Why not use oxygen...
you know, breathe it in from the outside?
Sure, it's not gonna react
as well with the lithium ion,
but the cooling effect
would surely make up
for that discrepancy.
- No?
- Holy crap.
- I mean, it's just an idea.
- That's insane.
Uh, but you should show it to
Agent Weaver before you test it.
You have no idea how
powerful this thing could be.
Of course.
Wow. I'm sorry.
That... that was awesome.
It's true what the other guys say...
you are the smartest
person to come through here.
Is that what they say?
Yeah?
Well, Simmons is probably
smarter, technically,
but that's because she likes
homework more than life itself.
Nice to have someone to talk
shop with all the time...
or to just plain talk to.
You know, um, I didn't like it
here at the Academy at first.
- You didn't?
- No.
I was shy, a bit of a loner.
My Mum did her best at home, but
I may as well have been speaking
Japanese when I talked electronics...
- So I kept things to myself.
- Me, too.
The kids in my hometown
wouldn't talk to me.
And when S.H.I.E.L.D.
told my Dad I was gifted,
- He said, "at what?"
- [chuckles] Yeah.
Well, hang in there.
You'll find a friend here.
Actually, I'm off to
meet the team right now
at the boiler room...
if you'd like to join.
Uh, maybe later.
I'm gonna try to draw
up some of those changes.
- Later it is.
- And... thanks.
No problem.
- Not a bad shot.
- You mean for a girl.
For anybody.
Elastic collision equations,
contact point geometry,
and practice.
So, why is a guy from operations
hanging out in the boiler room, anyway?
Looking for the smartest mind
you have here to duck out,
join my top shadow unit.
Is that you?
Could be. Shadow unit doing what?
I've said too much already,
but that tech in the lecture hall...
it was impressive.
Whoever built that tech...
I could see them moving
to level 6 within the year.
Even though Donnie and Seth were hurt?
The boys survived.
Yeah, probably the best thing
that's happened to them all year.
Why don't you tell me
what you meant by that?
And I'll not tell Agent
Weaver how eager you were
to jump rank over at operations.
I'm just saying they
got to meet Agent Fitz.
[chuckling] They've been
talking about it for weeks.
Weeks? We just came here...
- Talking about it to whom?
- Each other.
[whirring]
Jemma, please don't tell me
you've left the boiler room already.
Fitz, they staged the attacks.
- Well, that's nonsense. Why?
- To lure us to the Academy
and to take them off
our radar as suspects.
You need to get out of
there. He's after you.
Relax. I'm out.
You're overreacting.
He's just a lonely kid.
We had a nice little hang session.
I actually helped him solve his...
power problem.
[sighs]
Oh, no.
That's what you're trying to power...
a bigger version of the ice machine?
You weren't supposed to see this.
This is very, very dangerous, okay?
You can't have this here.
We have to turn it in to Agent Weaver.
You weren't supposed to see this.
We need to go.
Come on!
[sighs]
- How could I have been so stupid?
- Fitz, will you stop?
- I'm sorry, sir. It's my fault.
- Any word on the missing Cadets?
Ward's coordinating the search
effort with Agent Weaver.
They've set up a perimeter and
are going building to building.
Where did you guys go?
- We were trying to reach you.
- Not now.
- How dangerous are they?
- Extremely dangerous.
This device turns any moisture
around it to ice very rapidly,
at a great range.
But Donnie's a good kid...
just felt isolated.
Seth must have befriended
him to manipulate him,
using him to finish the...
the product.
Product?
[sighs]
Okay, I think they have a backer.
The device... the components
are incredibly rare and expensive,
nothing either of them could find
on the open market themselves.
If the parts are that rare,
we can trace the purchases.
Sometimes, it's not a bad seed,
just a bad influence.
Let's go.
No, no. No, that's not the issue.
Look, Donnie and I have
the device ready to sell,
a-and we solved the power problem,
but, uh, look, we... we...
we ran into some trouble.
- S.H.I.E.L.D.'s looking for us now.
- Seth, what did I say
was the most important
aspect of this deal?
That nobody know about it.
Right. Well, now the
deal's gonna have to change.
Skye: We were worried
about bad influences?
- He's the worst there is.
- Ian Quinn. You gotta be kidding.
Fitz: Thermopile radiation sensors.
Shipped to Seth's father,
who's a lawyer for Quinn worldwide.
Quinn's buying their technology.
Simmons: [sighs] What a ***.
The Cadets have no idea he's a criminal.
- To them, he's just a venture capitalist.
- This is Quinn's M.O.
He finds young talent and
he takes advantage, right?
- Hello?
- Contact Ward and Agent Weaver.
Have them widen their
search to include Ian Quinn.
[sighs]
- Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
- I have to brief May.
- Just two seconds... that's all.
- Yeah.
This is an unfortunate situation
you've gotten us into, Seth.
Where are you?
We're... we're hiding at a parking
garage near the Academy.
There's checkpoints set up all around.
- We're boxed in.
- It looks like I'll be turning around.
Sorry we couldn't do business.
No, no, wait!
M-Mr. Quinn, please.
Can you send a chopper or
something to come and get us?
Look, believe me... it's worth it.
- Prove it, Seth.
- What do you mean?
A demonstration...
I want to see what I'm paying for in
action, right there at S.H.I.E.L.D.
- Then you'll come and get us?
- I wouldn't be able to resist.
[sighs] The deal's a no-go. Let's
turn around, go back to the Seychelles.
- You copy that, sir.
- Darling, can you freshen this up?
Ready for this, Donnie?
Hey. We've come this far.
- Maybe it's too far.
- [sighs] We're in this together...
you and me against the world, right?
How many times have we
said we want a chance
to do something incredible?
Well, this is it,
and it comes with a ton of money.
Come on. Say something.
I'm... I'm nervous.
The... the prototypes are harmless,
burn out in minutes, but this?
We haven't run virtual simulations.
At this size, with the new power
source, it's not... it's not safe.
Donnie, you need to grow a pair.
Now, you can't bail on me now.
We have one chance to impress Mr.
Quinn, and now he's our only way out.
We can't turn back after
what we did back there.
What... what... what you did.
- You knocked Agent Fitz unconscious.
- He found us out.
And it was your idea to draw him here
to fix your damn power source.
Our plan has worked so far,
Donnie, and so will this.
[whirring]
[beep]
W-what happened?
I-is it a dud?
I-I don't... I don't... I don't know.
Ever since you got back
from who knows where,
you won't even look at me.
And I know things have
been heavy right now,
but... did I do something wrong?
No.
I did.
[sighs]
Ian Quinn's not the only one
who manipulates people, Skye.
We do it all the time...
actually teach it at the Academy.
- It's our trade.
- What are you talking about?
I've been keeping something from you.
But recently, I realized
I had no right to do that.
You lied to me.
Agent May and I went down to
Mexico City to talk to somebody...
somebody who knows where you came from.
- Tell me.
- When we started this, I warned you...
- that you might not like what you learn.
- And I told you...
that it can't be worse
than what I have imagined.
It is.
The agent who dropped you at
St. Agnes was not your mother,
but she was killed trying to protect you.
24 years ago, an entire S.H.I.E.L.D.
team in a small village...
was massacred...
in attempt to secure you.
[music]
[wind rushing]
[thunder crashing]
I'll be damned! We did it!
It worked!
I did it.
Seth: The ice stopped.
So it's ending?
Donnie: No. It's just beginning.
We're in the eye of the storm.
A storm?
But crystalline nucleation
- should only create ice around the...
- It did...
up there.
We seeded the clouds.
In the most effective
way in history, Seth.
[thunder rumbling]
- We created a superstorm.
- He said he wanted a demonstration.
- What are you doing?!
- I have to try to reverse the process.
Look, Quinn specifically said
he needed a working apparatus
to come and pick us up.
All the money in the world
won't matter if we're dead.
Please. Please help me.
Coulson: How do we stop it?
We can't stop it.
They're in real trouble.
- Where is the device?
- Most likely right there...
dead center of the storm.
Coulson: We've got to
get Donnie out of there.
Ward, how are things on the ground?
We've got most everyone
safe in the boiler room.
Everybody, move back!
Make some space!
How bad is this gonna get?
Bad. Can you reach the
North campus parking garage?
We think Donnie Gill and his device
may be trapped in the center of the storm.
That's not far from where I am.
I can get there.
[wind rushing]
Yeah, I can't get there.
Is there any other way to get to Donnie?
Think fast, people.
I know one way.
Hold on tight.
[thunder crashing]
[electricity crackling]
Seth, hold the barium hydroxide
chamber in place!
- Okay!
- Hold on!
Okay, that should do it.
Now take...
[electricity crackling] [screams]
Aah.
Seth!
Seth? We're gonna have
to try to get underground,
ride it out till the storm passes.
Hey, Seth.
Seth! Hey, hey, Seth.
Seth, can you hear me?
[wind rushing]
[whirring]
He's been hurt!
Please, you need to help him!
Simmons: He's in cardiac arrest!
Skye, get a blanket for his head!
Lay him down here!
Sir, I need the A.E.D.!
Fitz, oxygen.
0.4 millimeters of epinephrine.
Fitz: I got it.
[thunder rumbling]
Get ready to clear.
- Charging.
- Aah!
Get back!
[electricity charging]
And clear!
Pulse?
- Nothing.
- Charging.
[electricity charging]
Clear.
- Pulse?
- Coulson: No.
- Charging.
- He's gone.
[breathing heavily]
No, sir.
Seth! Seth!!
Come on, no!
No.
Don't go.
No.
Donnie, I wanted to wish you
good luck. And I'm very sorry.
Don't say you're sorry.
My only friend is dead because of me.
- I don't know what else to say.
- Then don't say anything.
May: What will happen to him?
They're moving him to the Sandbox,
but not as a researcher.
They want to keep an eye on him.
- Did, uh, you hear what I said in Mexico?
- What, specifically?
- A-about Ward and me, um...
- Yeah, I heard.
[scoffs] I trust you
know what you're doing,
- and if it's a problem...
- I'll end it.
Skye requested a moment alone on campus.
- You told her, didn't you?
- I had to.
It must have destroyed
her to hear all that.
That's the thing about Skye.
What I told her shattered her world.
Her lifelong search led
to stories of ***,
and now it's too difficult to continue.
Her search is over.
Her story ends here.
- But you know what she said?
- Tell me.
She said "no"...
her story started here.
Her whole life, she
thought she wasn't wanted,
that she didn't belong,
that every family that took her in
didn't want her to stay, didn't care.
But all that time, it was
S.H.I.E.L.D. protecting her,
looking after her.
That's what she took
away from the story...
not the family she'll never have
but the one she's always had.
Here I am, telling her something
that could destroy her faith in humanity.
And somehow, she manages to
repair a little piece of mine.
The world is full of evil
and lies and pain and death,
and you can't hide from it...
you can only face it.
The question is, when you do,
how do you respond?
Who do you become?
[cracking]
Coulson: We'll return in a moment.
[telephone rings, clicks]
Quinn: Seth, I've gotta say...
you have exceeded my expectations.
Coulson: We're on to you.
Who is this?
Agent Phil Coulson with S.H.I.E.L.D.
We've never actually met, but
I'm familiar with your
work... all of it.
So, this is a "getting to know you" call?
No, just a message
that the first time your aircraft drifts
over any country allied
with S.H.I.E.L.D.,
we will shoot you out of the sky.
So this is a courtesy call.
Well, thank you, Agent Coulson.
And I have a message for you.
The Clairvoyant told me to say hello.
