E1) Pilot part 2
[Fitz-Simmons gather their things and head into a small lab a few steps further into the plane]
Fitz: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch it! That's the night-night gun.
Simmons: Well, it's on my stuff, and it doesn't work, and there's no way we're calling it the night-night gun.
Fitz: The bullets work. Nonlethal, heavy stopping power, Break up under the subcutaneous tissue...
"It's brilliant!" Bruce got excited. "If they make it work.."
Simmons: Oh, with a dose of only .1 microliters of dendrotoxin. I'm not Hermione. I can't create instant paralysis with that. You should have run the specs by me before building the molds.
Fitz: The bullets are hollow! It's a marvel I can keep them from breaking apart in the chamber!
Simmons: Or used a higher-caliber round. Or read a book.
Fitz: Have you ever heard of physics or... What's the other one? Inertia?
Simmons: It's not particularly difficult!
There only few people in the room who could understand any of that and were impressed, but everyone love the idea of nonlethal weapon who actually useful.
[loud thud as Ward drops a duffle bag to the ground. Fitz-Simmons falls silent.]
Ward: Fitz-Simmons?
"Wait! I heard about them!" Clint said. "Really good scientists, rumors said that they're youngest people on shield...
even tho I thought they're one person.."
"Yeah me too" Natasha said.
"It's a common misconception" Hill explains. "They're practically like one person."
Simmons: Fitz. [points to Fitz]
Fitz: [points to Simmons] Simmons. I'm engineering. She's biochem. Agent Ward?
"Just like us brucie" Tony smirked.
"They're so cute!" wanda said. She could totally see them as a couple.
Ward: Coulson said I'd need my comm receiver encoded. [gives Fitz the comm receiver] Don't know if you've worked with that model before. It's-
[Fitz beats the everloving hell out of the receiver, smashing it to bits]
...brand-new.
They all chuckles on the look of ward's face.
"I like him" Tony pointed on Fitz.
FITZ: Don't need the external receiver for the inner-ear comms anymore.
WARD: So, uh, how does it-
[Simmons sticks a swab into Ward's mouth, around which he makes noises of general displeasure]
SIMMONS: Embedded sensorineural silicone matched to your DNA. It's very posh. [she removes the swab] So, are you excited to be coming on our journey into mystery?
"She is too excited about that" Carol shook her head.
"It's cute" Pepper said.
WARD (sarcastically): It's like Christmas.
"He really doesn't want to be there"
[a vintage-looking red car pulls up into the belly of the plane]
"Now that's a nice car" Sam whistle in appreciation.
"You should have seen my cars" Tony muttered. most of them were destroyed.
[tires screech]
FITZ: One of Coulson's old S.H.I.E.L.D. collectibles. Flamethrowers, world's first GPS. He's mad for this crap.
"Oh yes coulson loveee his car" Clint said teasingly.
[Coulson gets out of the car and walks past]
COULSON: Don't touch Lola.
"He never let anyone touch it" Clint grumble.
FITZ: And he calls it a girl's name.
[Fitz slaps Ward on the back]
[Fitz chuckles. Ward looks unamused]
[Coulson, with Ward behind him, climbs up small spiral staircase to the upper level of the plane (the plane is the "bus" in question that May and Coulson were talking about previously. From here on out, the plane will be referred to as the Bus.)]
COULSON: Lola's not just a collectible, you know. People tend to confuse the words "new" and "improved."
[they walk through the upper level of the Bus]
COULSON: This mobile command, they were in heavy rotation back in the '90s, but then we got a heli-carrier. Hey. Did you hear the one about the guy who's afraid of flying?
WARD: I've done a night jump into a drop zone under heavy fire, sir. I can handle it.
COULSON: That was a... joke. The first part of a... I'm not gonna tell it now.
"Can't trust a man who can't appreciate a joke" Yelena laughed. "or you know not trust a man in general."
[May, who was already on the Bus, steps towards them]
MAY: If you plan to unpack, make it quick. Wheels are up in five. We may have a hit on one of The Rising Tide's routing points.
"I still can't believe Coulson convinced Mel to join him" Clint stated in disbelief.
"I thought she didn't really had a choice?" Kate questioned.
"It's Melinda May, she won't do anything she doesn't want." Maria said.
COULSON: Good. We need to do some catching up.
[May nods, walks away]
"She reminds me of you Natasha." Sam tells her.
Natasha smirked in response.
WARD: Is that... who I think it is?
COULSON: She's just the pilot.
WARD: Melinda May is "just the pilot." Come on, sir. What game are you really playing?
"Honestly I would have been suspicious too."
COULSON: Better stow your gear.
[engines whirring]
[Coulson goes up another tiny spiral staircase, this one leading to his own little office space]
[the cargo hold door closes as the Bus prepares for takeoff]
[May does some pilot-y stuff in the cockpit. Radio chatter.]
[the plane starts to taxi as the V.O. starts]
SKYE (V.O.): How will you come at us? From the air?
[In L.A., we see Skye's van in an alley]
SKYE (V.O.): From the ground?
"I told you it was her" Strange smirked.
[we see the interior of the van]
SKYE (V.O.): How will you silence us this time? How can you?
[the Bus achieves liftoff]
SKYE (V.O.): The truth is in the wind.
[int van]
SKYE (V.O., until it isn't): It's everywhere. You cannot stop The Rising Tide.
SKYE (V.O.): You will not find us.
"That's really dramatic" Shuri laughed.
[Coulson on the Bus]
[back to Skye]
SKYE: You will never see our faces. But rest assured... We will rise against those who shield us from the truth. And nothing... nothing can stop us in the-
[van door opens. Coulson is on the other side with Ward next to him]
SKYE: Hey. What up?
everyone snort and laugh on the timing.
[Ward puts a bag over her head. Blackout.]
"It's a little bit aggressive." Steve didn't like this.
[Ward and Coulson lead a bag-headded Skye onto the Bus]
INT: Bus's interogation room.
[Ward manhandles Skye, head free of bag, into a chair]
[Coulson closes door behind him]
SKYE: You guys are making a big mistake.
WARD: You don't look that big.
COULSON: Sorry for the lack of finesse. Agent Ward here has had a little history with your group... The Rising Tide.
SKYE: I don't know... what you're-
"She really make it obvious" Gamora wish that Skye would be less obvious. She didn't knew her but it was painful to watch.
WARD: Okay, there are two ways we can do this.
SKYE: Oh. Is one of them the easy way?
WARD: No.
SKYE: Oh.
WARD: What's your name?
SKYE: Skye.
WARD: What's your real name?
"Is she lying though? She also introduced herself to Mike as Skye.." Peter was unsure about this.
"Could be an alias." Bruce answered. She seem the type to have one, but she look sincere about her name is some way. He was confused.
COULSON: That can wait. It's another name we need... a certain hero.
SKYE: What makes you think I know that?
"The way you act.." Natasha said to the screen. "She has guilt all over her"
COULSON: Well, you made a little mistake. The phone you filmed the hooded hero with had the same cryptographic signature as a few of The Rising Tide posts.
"Seriously? She hacked shield but she couldn't hide the signature." Sam asked in disbelief.
"She could.. It's not that hard, unless..." Shuri said.
SKYE: Wow. Yeah. Was that a mistake? Or am I now sitting in the center of your secret headquarters? What is this? A plane? I got inside. And by now, you've discovered you can't beat the encryption on my equipment, so you got nothing.
"She is really cocky" Quill said.
"Anyone will be that cocky if they manage to hack shield like she did." Bruce commented.
"Yeah but she also smart. Honestly she could be a really good agent." Natasha said. "Kinda want to train her, see how good she can be"
"Me too" Carol add. They all could see the potential, even tho she technically against shield.
COULSON: We have a fairly strong coincidence... you being on the scene right before it went up in flames?
[In L.A., a S.H.I.E.L.D. van pulls up outside the building at which the events of the start of this episode took place]
COULSON: Want to tell me what my team is gonna find out?
[Simmons gets out of the van. Fitz does, too, and she grabs his shoulders playfully. May gets out from the driver's seat. They all look up at the building.]
[May walks to examine the dent in the ground left from Mike jumping and landing]
COULSON: How did you know the hooded man was in the building?
WARD: Did you blow it up to draw him out?
"Is he serious? She may be anti government hacker but like she doesn't seem the type to do this." Rhodey said. He doesn't really like those hackers who make his job harder but still.
"He need to chill"
SKYE: Did you?
COULSON: That's not our style.
SKYE: I was just kidnapped by your "style." S.H.I.E.L.D. covered up New Mexico, Project Pegasus. Of course you'd be covering up Centipede.
Fury and Hill knew she had a potential, Coulson wouldn't have recruited and fight for for her so hard if she didn't. It was interesting to watch this from his point of view considered they only know what he and may told them.
Skye was definitely more than they originally thought. They need to see more.
[Ward looks at Coulson like in question as if he had no idea what she talking about and muttered 'Centipede?']
"Did he just fucked up the interrogation" That man seriously annoyed Bucky. Ward was supposed to be really good agent how he fucked up so bad.
A lot of them, especially the agents in the room could see it was a bad move.
SKYE: Holy no way. [laughs] You don't know what that is. Billions of dollars of equipment at your disposal, and I beat you with a laptop that I won in a bet?
"Got to say I'm impressed" Tony really wanted to meet her now, see how good she really is.
COULSON: You need to think about your friend. We're not the only ones interested in people with powers. We'd like to contain him, yeah. The next guy will want to exploit him, and the guy after that will want to dissect him.
WARD: What is Centipede?
They all wanted to know.
Inside Mike's home
[Mike is on the phone. Ace is sitting nearby, tossing a basketball up and down.]
MIKE: [sighs] Yeah, I get it, but... Listen, doctor, people saw me. They saw what I can do. If I went public, that might be good. I mean, your product works. It works amazingly, and... [he scratches at a mechanical, bug-shaped device attached to his forearm] yeah, yeah, I-I-I know what I signed, but if we got out in front of this, maybe [the person on the other end says something] Then what? You want me to go crawling back to the factory? I couldn't even get workmen's comp from those crooks. I don't think- [person on other end] Yeah, ye- Doctor, I just thought... [collects himself; nods] Okay.
[hangs up phone]
"He need help" Sam muttered. "Poor guy he was just trying to keep them going."
They all felt sympathy for him.
INT: now-destroyed building in L.A.
SIMMONS: This was a lab. Was this leased as a lab?
MAY: Mnh-mnh. Self-empowerment center. [ha] With a top-of-the-line motion-sensor security system.
SIMMONS: Ah. So a secret lab.
MAY: And a superhero. Not a coincidence. So, was this explosion sabotage? Was it meant for him? Or were they just in over their heads?
None of them like what they saw, another secret lab in attempt to creat superhero never end well.
FITZ [approaching]: Yeah, working the problem. Ladies, if you'll just- [walks around Simmons] Sorry.
MAY: If you're gonna be in the field, agent Fitz, you have to get your hands dirty.
[beeping as Fitz sets some drones up]
FITZ: No, I don't.
[drones whirring as they go into the air]
"Ohh nicee" Peter said.
FITZ: ♪ Heigh-ho, off to work you go ♪
INT: Bus interogation room
SKYE: Centipede- it was chatter on the web And then gone. I traced the access-point MAC address to that building.
COULSON: What were you after?
SKYE: The truth. What are you after?
COULSON: World peace.
Fury and Maria snort at Ward, as the only one who knew the truth about him.
WARD: You pseudo-anarchist hacker types love to stir things up. [approaches Skye] But you're never around for the fallout. People keep secrets for a reason, Skye.
SKYE: Well, just because you're reasonable and... [pushes his chest] firm... doesn't mean that you're not an evil, faceless government tool bag.
Oh, the people here have no idea how right she is, Maria thought.
"She is hilarious!" Yelena grinned. She liked Skye and wanted to meet her.
WARD: Just give us your guy's name.
SKYE: He's not my guy!
COULSON: You understand he's in danger.
SKYE: Then let me go. Let me talk to him. Me, not the T-1000 here.
"T-1000 ha! That's amazing" Tony laughed so hard. Like Skye he also doesn't love the government and the description is perfect.
WARD: You want to be alone with him. Of course. (to Coulson) She's a groupie. All this hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D., tracking powers... she might as well be one of those sweaty cosplay girls crowding around Stark Tower.
SKYE: What?! I would... It was one time.
Everyone glance at Tony.
"What can I say? People love me" He said.
COULSON: [opens door] Ward.
[the men step outside and walk through the Bus]
COULSON: Is it the girl? She getting under your skin?
WARD: Sir?
COULSON: Or is it the assignment? Are you so anxious to get out of this that you'd deliberately blow an interrogation?
"No seriously what his problems" Kate muttered.
WARD: Give me a minute alone with her, you'll have your answers.
COULSON: She's an asset. [gets a case]
WARD: She is such an a... wait... "asset"?
COULSON: We don't know anything about her. Do you appreciate how often thathappens? That never happens.
Natasha knew that this Skye girl have a potential. It's practically impossible to stay completely under the radar when you live in the city besides everyone leaves trails.
We need... [opens case to reveal a gun] what she knows.
"Whoa!" "Hey" "No need for that" several shouts were heard in the room for the look of the gun.
