INT: Coulson's office on the Bus.
Skye is pleading with Coulson. May is also present.
SKYE: Just let me go in and talk to her, sir, as a friend.
Natasha: She needs to walk before she can run
COULSON: I can't let you do that. It's too dangerous.
SKYE: She's not dangerous. She's nice ... like, overly nice.
Skye pulls up her tablet and starts going over data.
SKYE: She never misses a birthday post to her friends, runs the youth program at her church, rescues dogs. Hannah's a safety inspector not just because she's detail-oriented but because she —
COULSON: She genuinely cares.
SKYE: Right. And someone with that much empathy being responsible for that much loss of life, she's devastated, spouting nonsense about god punishing her for —
Yelena: Again she makes a good point. I am going to meet this Skye and be friends with her
MAY: People believe what they need to believe to justify their actions.
SKYE: Is that how you justify your shoot-first policy?
"Ouuuuu"
Clint: That was bold
Bobbi: That is Daisy for you
May cocks her head, irritated.
SKYE: At least let me try to repair that damage.
MAY: Until we figure out what's going on with her, she stays locked up and you stay away.
[clang] A sphere has fallen to the floor.
COULSON: Thought that was glued down.
Bucky: Spooky
Sam: That plane is haunted
Coulson gets up and picks up the item that fell.
COULSON: You're asking the right questions, Skye, but for now, that's all you get to do. I'm sorry.
Pepper: Phil is a good mentor
Fury: Perfect for helping her understand shield for sure
Skye gapes at him before shooting a look to May, rolling her eyes, and leaving Coulson's office.
INT: the lab on the Bus. Simmons is still working with the 3D holograph of the accelerator. A long pipe is outlined in red in front of her. [computer humming]
SIMMONS: Oh. This must be the coupling from the reports.
Simmons waves her hand. A mini holographic explosion occurs.
SIMMONS: Oh, dear. The technicians were right.
Tony: Funnn
Simmons looks over her shoulder to find Fitz in a gas mask.
Kate jumps a little scared
Clint and Yelena laugh at her
SIMMONS: Were you even listening?
FITZ: You weren't even a wee bit scared?
SIMMONS: More disappointed, really.
Scott: Yah that was lame man
Simmons takes down the hologram. Fitz takes off his mask.
FITZ: It's fine. It's fine. I'm just workshopping here, and, yes, I was listening. I was about to go fetch our own magnetic couplings to run simulations.
SIMMONS: Oh, well, while you're in there, grab some more diazepam for Hannah. She may need to be more heavily sedated. And the prank needs more work, as well.
Gamora: Yes sedate her more that will get the girl to trust you
She rolled her eyess
FITZ: I know. I'm trying different things. It's the timing that matters, Simmons. Skye can't suspect a thing.
Loki: Ahhhh pranks... mischief
INT: a hallway on the Bus. Fitz is carrying the gas mask. He opens a door.
FITZ (to himself): Oh. Couplings. Couplings, couplings. Yes.
Fitz enters the room and sets down the mask. He opens up a drawer and looks through things.
FITZ: Actually... Oh.
Fitz takes something out from the drawer. He picks up the gas mask as well and studies it.
FITZ: Now, this I could use.
Peter: There we go, now you are thinking.
Fitz grabs the mop.
FITZ: All I need now is a little bit of twine and an unsuspecting victim.
As Fitz is talking, we can see the figure from before behind Fitz. When Fitz turns around to leave the closet, the figure is gone, and the hallway is empty.
Strange: Well that is great
Rhodey: That plane is definitely haunted
Clint: Ghost are real.... that is my worst fear
FITZ: Oh, that's fantastic, that is.
INT: the lab on the Bus. Simmons is looking at the 3D model.
SIMMONS: Well, that's odd.
Simmons spins the model around and zooms in on one particular area of the explosion. Her eyes widen.
SIMMONS: My god. Fitz, look at this. What are we seeing here?
Tony: OH SHIT
Steve: Language
Now we get a better view of what she’s looking at. It appears to be some sort of alien landscape complete with some sort of large moon or sun above it.
SIMMONS: It's as if the explosion tore open some sort of window to —
When a male voice—not Fitz, Ward, or Coulson—speaks, Simmons turns around. We know, from Skye's looking at the article, that Simmons is facing the deceased Tobias Ford.
TOBIAS: To hell.
SIMMONS: Aah!
People jump out of there seats except for the spies minus Clint
"AHHHH"
"THE FUCK"
"OH MY GOD"
Yelena just burst out laughing at everyone being scared
Tobias swings a wrench down at Simmons. [Tobias grunts] Simmons ducks out of the way; the wrench smashes into the holocom.
Peter: Watch out
[Simmons screaming] Simmons falls to the ground and tries to scurry away from Tobias. Her back hits some drawers on a desk. When she looks around, Tobias is gone.
Wanda: This is intense
Natasha: I love this
Coulson rushes in. [Simmons panting]
COULSON: Simmons! Are you okay?
SIMMONS: Sir, Hannah's telling the truth. She's not telekinetic. There's someone else on this plane.
Shuri: See you shouldn't make assumptions
T'Challa rolls his eyes at his sister
INT: Bus. We see a power box with different colored wires inside.
A ghostly hand materializes and grabs some of the wires. Slowly, the rest of Tobias materializes. When he's fully there, he pulls the wires. [electricity powers down]
Rocket: Shit is about to go down
Drax: FINALLY
INT: lab on the Bus.
SIMMONS: What was that?
COULSON: Plane's lost power.
Cut to Coulson and Simmons walking through the powerless plane.
SKYE: Sir, can it be me to talk to Hannah? Her life has been turned upside down, and we stuck her in a nightmare box. She thinks she's being punished. Can I please be the one to deliver the good news?
Pepper: She is so sweet
WARD: That a non-corporeal madman is hunting her?
SKYE: Again, I think it'd be better coming from anyone else, really.
"Ahahaha"
Yelena: Yes you tell him
COULSON: All right. I'll head upstairs, activate the emergency transceiver, and radio HQ.
EXT: Cage. [knock on door]
SKYE: Hannah?
INT: Cage. When Hannah's talking, we're inside the Cage, and when Skye's talking, we're outside of it. Hannah gets up from the floor and walks over to the door.
HANNAH: Who's there?
Skye sits outside with her back to the door of the Cage.
SKYE: My name is Skye. We haven't met yet.
HANNAH: We crashed, didn't we? Are you all hurt? I'm so sorry.
SKYE: No. No, no, no. We're okay. Whatever's happening, it's not your fault.
Clint: I mean maybe we should take notes and by we I mean you three.
He points to Nat, Hill and Fury
Nat raises an eyebrow at him
Hill: What is that suppose to mean Barton?
Yelena: He means you guys don't have a warm and fuzzy vibe.
We were wrong. But you need to stay in that room so that you're safe. Something... bad is out here.
HANNAH: Demons.
SKYE: I don't know what it is.
Hannah sinks to the floor with her back to the door, sitting the same way Skye is, only she's inside the Cage and Skye is outside of it.
We can see both of them sitting this way in profile, the door to the Cage dividing them.
HANNAH: Do you believe in god?
SKYE: Honestly? Not really.
Tony: Only these two god here I believe in
He points to Loki and Thor
HANNAH: Well, I do. And I know that he's punishing me, and I deserve it.
Bobbi: That is rough
SKYE: No. No, you don't. No one does. I had a few nuns around me growing up, and they would talk like that, scaring kids with stories of god's wrath. It made me not want to believe. The only words that stuck with me were something that sister McKenna said from the Bible, I think.
Hunter: I forgot she grew up in an orphanage
May walks up but stays out of sight, listening.
SKYE: She said, "god is love." It's simple and it's a little sappy, but that's the version I like. God is love... the thing that holds us together. And if that's true, I don't think he would punish you for making a mistake. I think he'd forgive a mistake.
Steve: That was beautiful
Vision: Very well said
HANNAH: I want to believe that. I do.
MAY: I'll stand guard now. Coulson needs help with the emergency transceiver.
SKYE: I would rather stay here for a while—
MAY: It needs to get done, not discussed. That's an order.
SKYE (to Hannah): I'll be nearby if you need me, okay? (to May) Try not to hurt her any more than you already have, Agent May
Carol: She really has some serious guts
Natasha: May probably has a little respect for her for the fact that she isn't afraid to stand up to her
Skye walks off. May looks after her.
INT: Coulson's office on the Bus. Coulson and Skye are attempting to fix the transceiver.
SKYE: Seems like a hardware issue, not firmware. I should be with Hannah, anyway. No wonder she keeps screaming in there. You keep sending in the Cavalry, you're bound to get a reaction like that.
Fury: She should really stop calling her that
COULSON: Don't ... don't call her that.
SKYE: Why not? No normal person can shoot 100 Bahrain—
COULSON: That's not how it went down.
SKYE: Whatever, 20. I just— I don't understand—
COULSON: She didn't have a gun. None of us did. And it wasn't a rescue or an assault, whatever they say at the academy these days. We were the welcome wagon. And it went south.
Wanda: Never listen to rumors. Always wrong
SKYE: How many—
COULSON: Plenty. A civilian girl and a few of our guys were stuck inside a building, being held by the followers of this gifted individual ... or worshippers. We never found out.
SKYE: May did.
COULSON: She took it upon herself to get them out. Said she could fix the problem. So she went in, crossed off the enemy force.
Coulson walks around and sits down close to Skye.
COULSON: Didn't say how.
SKYE: Did she lose anyone in there?
COULSON: Herself. May used to be different. She was always quiet, she just... she was warm. Fearless in a different way, getting in trouble, pulling pranks, thought rules were meant to be broken. Sound familiar?
"Awhhhh"
Hill: Now that I think of it she does remind me of May before Bahrain
Sam: She did Pranks?
Clint: Oh ya she was the prank queen
Skye smiles, nods.
COULSON: But when she walked out of that building... it was like that part of her was gone. I tried to comfort her, but she wouldn't tell me what went down in there.
Yelena: Something serious if it caused such a huge change
Peter: I really want to know what happened
Bobbi: It was a complicated situation
She gets confused looks that show that they want more of an explanation
Fury: That is not for us to explain so turn around
Everyone turns back to the screen to continue watching
