Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - Orientation: Part 1 - full transcript
Coulson and the team find themselves stranded on a mysterious ship in outer space, and that's just the beginning of the nightmare to come.
Previously on "Marvel's
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."...
Daisy: We were all in
the Framework together.
We all
lost ourselves in there.
Fitz: No,
this is my fault --
Aida, the LMDs,
all the deaths.
Those aren't on S.H.I.E.L.D.
Those are on me.
May: If there's a price
to pay,
we pay it together.
Simmons: Amen.
Anybody else hungry?
I'm not saying we're definitely
gonna get locked up,
but if we are,
wouldn't mind grabbing
a bite to eat first.

Are you out of your skull?
What the hell are you doing,
blowing the damn window?
I -- It's called
improvisation.
You suicidal?
Do you want to be a vacancy?
I couldn't see another way
to kill that thing.
We're safe now, okay?
Quit howling.
The other guy I hired
isn't safe.
He's frozen
in the vacuum of space.
Yeah, well,
I'll take his cut, too.
Relax.
You can keep his rations.
Coulson: Hi.
What in the hell?!
Don't shoot.
Thanks.
Oh, my God.
My God, you're here.
That I'm slowly
figuring out.
Sorry, I-I think I might
be a little confused.
Disoriented, of course.
It's quite a journey.
I didn't know
how you traveled here,
but I knew it wasn't
gonna be first class.
[ Sighs ]
You're here.
Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D.
You've come to save us.
Yeah, just to clarify,
where is here, who is us,
and from what?
[ Creature shrieks in distance ]
[ Groans ]
Move! Let's go!
Is this the whole shipment,
Vir--
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait!
No!
Where are the others?!
Wait!
Where are the others?
You weren't the only one
to travel through, were you?
I don't think so.
Um, I'm sorry, what was that?
Ack, the gravitational flux
must've messed with your entry.
We got to wait
for the rest of them, okay?
You'll have to triple
my tokens
to get me to stay
a minute longer.
One of those Roaches gets us,
you'll pay me
to shoot you in the head.
[ Creature shrieks ]
Whoa!
[ Breathing heavily ]
Get back. Stay back.
Shh!
All right, all right,
that's enough.
Can we -- I'd like to know,
if you don't mind,
what is happening here,

Yeah.
Sorry.
I-I didn't know
how much you would know
about our current situation
coming in.
Zero.
Walk me through it
like I'm a child,
like I'm a foreign child.
What was that thing?
Right. Right.
That was a Vrell Nexian.
We call them Roaches.
They can surf gravity storms
so they'd be able to breach
a few years back.
This level's been sealed up
ever since then.
It's my first time here.
And who are you?
Right, sorry.
Stupid me.
My name is Virgil.
I'm the greeting party
and a fan.
Great to have a name,
Virgil,
but looking
for big picture, here.
I mean, who are you?
I'm one
of the true believers.
Believers in what?
In you.

Mack.
You okay?
What the hell is going on?
I was about to find out.
Oh, my bad.
I see a dirty-looking dude
hovering over you
with a crazy-looking gun.
I acted on impulse.
Where'd that rock
send us?
Well, I don't have many details,

Yeah, that makes sense.

The Incan mummies, yeah.
These people have been dead
for a long while,

Look, I'm just saying,
what good is it having
a state-of-the-art robotic hand
if you don't have it on you
when you're kidnapped
by Martians?
Looks like he's got
both hands to me.
Ah,
that's his civvy hand.
It's just a prosthetic without
all the cool doodads.
It should've been a hook.
At least you can stab things
with a hook.
Thought I was gonna
be arrested.
So, wait, that one
doesn't have the blowtorch
or the laser gun or anything?
First of all,
I'm not Inspector Gadget.
And second of all,
the authorities
would've confiscated it.
Prison's bad enough
without being down an appendage.
First rule of Boy Scouts
is always come prepared.
How were we supposed to prepare
for this, Mack?
I don't know.
I mean, we got to be prepared
for everything, apparently.
Look, not a day ago,
I was trapped inside
a-a computer-generated
mind prison, and now --
You know what?
You know what, Coulson?
I'm out.
I'm out.
We get through this,
I am packing it in.
Sorry, Mack.
You already quit years ago.
Yeah, well,
I didn't quit hard enough.
Look, I am not comfortable
at the pace at which we deal
with new trials
and tribulations.
Believe it or not, Mack,
this isn't new for me.
I've been hurled through space
by a monolith before.
Best we can do is keep our heads
and apply the scientific method.
That's right.
Learn what we can
about our circumstances.
So, are these people human?
Humanoid, at least.
Means we aren't
the first ones here.
That's good.
Is it?
We don't exactly want
to follow in their footsteps.
They've got no I.D.s.
Fury never said anything
about deep-space outposts
being developed, did he?
There was nothing like this
in his black box.
So, wait, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't
have a space division
called S.P.E.A.R. or something?
Really?
I always thought you guys
had people hiding on the moon.
Hey!
Wake up!
Geez, Mack,
how hard did you hit him?
What do you mean?
As hard as I possibly could.
Look,
I-I don't half-hit people.
It's a punch.
That's why it's called a punch.
What did he say before that?
He said that we were coming here
to serve a purpose.
Yo-Yo: As food?
No.
He said we were here
to save them.
Any idea what that is?
Simmons: Nope.

Well...
looks like
he's from Earth.

Maybe someone put us
back in the Framework

Please, we have
to shut up about that.
Don't even got there.
My God, if I even
think about that,
my brain will explode.
Again,
let's not just postulate.
Let's apply
scientific principles
and consider
the evidence we have.
Look, this is magic, okay?
Can we all agree
there's some magic at play?
Magic is just science
we don't understand yet.
Ah, please.
We just got zapped
through space by Stonehenge,
and we're trying
to rule out the involvement
of a flame-headed demon
from east L.A.?
Science my ass.
Now, let me see that gun.
Maybe I can try

Fitz would agree, but,
apparently, he didn't get taken.
No. At least, he wasn't

I was the last to go through.
I saw it all.
Well, that's some relief.
He's safe from this,
better off than we are.

Yeah, it looks man-made.
Could possibly be a colony?
Moving mankind to the stars?
Maybe that's what
Virgil meant by "humanity."
I don't know.

wasn't man-made,

You were right, Jemma.
I figured it out
using magic.
[ Console beeps, whirs ]
I can try and find
a layout and track May.
It's in English.
They're tracking debris fields
called "frozen oceans."
[ Keyboard clacking ]
They're collecting water
from ice in space.
This is a colony.
Which means unless they all came
through a monolith...
Then we're close enough to Earth
for people to travel here.
And we can get home.
Yes, but just as important,
collecting ice means
they have a spacecraft,
and if they have a spacecraft,
they must have
a laser-based
rapid-transmission system.
If we can find the ship and fly
above the debris field...
We can send a message.
...we can send a message
to Fitz back on Earth.
Okay, okay,
so if I can find a layout,
find a ship, find May,
it's a start.

Get that spacecraft in the air.
Send out the signal.
Daisy and I will find
Mack and Yo-Yo.
No, no, wait.
You stay here.
What?
I've got two good fighters
down there
once I get
the restraints off.
I'll be fine.
We can't lose our leader again.
We need answers.
You want me to stay here

Good plan.
What do the Kree
want with us, Deke?
All they ever want --
submission.

Whoa.
How many Kree live here?
Too many.
Think about it.
The Kree have been
studying humans for years,
moving here
in large numbers.
Kree who were bred
to kill.
Bred to kill and living within
striking distance of Earth.
This isn't an outpost,
May.
It's a staging ground.
They're planning
an invasion.

What do you mean

Attack on whom exactly?
Humans.
Why would they do that?

Just stop!

So, then why did the Kree
build this place?
They didn't build the bunker.
Humans did.
Why don't you know
these things?
Even in waste processing,
they know the history...
You're not from processing,
are you?
No.
I was enjoying a meal,

I'm from Earth.
Yeah, well, that would be

Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

We need to get up
off this debris field

Yeah, if I can figure out
how to send one.
I mean, the good news is,
I-I recognize

so we're -- we're at least
in our own galaxy.
[ Sighs ]
That doesn't make sense.
How long ago
did they build this place,
and when did you first
come here?
I don't know.
They built it 90-some-odd
years ago, minimum.
But I -- what do you mean
"come here?"
I was born here.
Que pasa, Mack?
These --
These filtration systems,
they weren't designed
for this.
They've been repurposed.
Yeah, I feel like this machine's

about when you were taken.
We were -- We were sitting

No, not -- not where.
When?
What year?
That monolith was different,

We didn't travel
