02x05 - The Atomic Job

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Agent Carter"...

What's your name, darling?

"Agent."

They've taken all the evidence.

Not all of it.

Tissue sample from Jane Scott's autopsy.

Something is calling me... pulling me away.

To where?

I don't know.

Sousa: The only thing that brought me out west was a promotion, Jack.

Thompson: You sure it wasn't a broken heart?

I'm very happy for you, Daniel.

I love you, Daniel.

I love you, too.

Dr. Samberly: Just because we don't carry g*ns doesn't mean we're not in the SSR.

The council has determined to shut down the Isodyne program.

The woman's body is being taken care of.

You think the men I work for are just criminals.

They're in everything!

Have I been dying to talk to you.

What did you say?

She wanted names.

Frost: Mr. Hunt made a mistake.

And mistakes can be fixed.

Can you come to the lab?

[Breathing heavily]

That's the tissue sample from Jane Scott's autopsy.

Mm-hmm.

What's wrong with it?

Nothing.

Just... watch.

Any moment now.

How are you doing that?

[Chuckling] I don't know.

It's drawn to you.

I'm drawn to it.

It's calling me.

It wants me to...

Wait!

[Grunts]

Jason! Jason!

Oh, my God.

[Grunts]

I know where Jane Scott's body is.

[Carter speaking indistinctly]

I-I can't explain it, but Jane Scott's body is there.

How can you know for certain?

Th... this is more than knowing it.

It's... I can feel it.

That'll be all.

Rose says that address is the county cold storage building.

It also happens to be owned by Calvin Chadwick's chum, Thomas Gloucester.

Just that small amount of zero matter made me tangible.

Temporarily.

With access to Jane Scott's body and what's in it, it's possible I could completely cure myself.

Mr. Jarvis, does Howard have a hearse?

No. But he does have a Woodie.

Eh, good enough.

For what?

We're going to steal Jane Scott's body.

Oh.

I m-must've nodded off.

Hey, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know you had a thing planned.

I had to cover an extra shift.

Let me get some coffee going.

[Sighs]

Regina called in sick.

Actually, do you remember Regina?

Uh, the one with the lisp?

No, no. The one with the mole.

Anyway, her youngest has a stomach bug... vomit everywhere, or so she says.

Rumor is her husband surprised her with one of those televisions.

So she could've been...

Lying.

I, um... I lost something.

Oh.

Let me help you.

What are you... what are you looking for?

You'll know it when you see it.

[Chuckles] You're not making any sense.

I know. Um... I mean...

This is going terribly.

[Sighs] You're wonderful.

You're pretty wonderful yourself.

Thank you.

When I first moved here, I just wanted a fresh start, and then I met you, and you were so...

...mean.

[Laughing] I was not mean.

Yes, you were cruel and uncompromising and lovely.

All those months of physical therapy with you, and I started to feel like myself again.

Because of you.

Daniel.

[Sighs]

Had a whole speech prepared, and none of my plans involved asking you to marry me with my hands in the couch because I lost the ring.

Um, I can't find the ring.

Oh, that's... why.

That's why.

Then, let's find it.

S-so yes? Yes?

Oh, yes. [Chuckles]

Yes.

[Laughs]

Yes.

Okay.

All right.

Oh!

You found it.

No. It's a quarter.

Oh!

Should you really be touching her?

Yes. I have to.

[Gasps]

[Panting]

♪

I need an atomic b*mb.

♪

She wants zero matter.

She's trying to replicate the original atomic test.

How do you mean?

She's a scientist.

And every scientist knows that, in order to achieve the same results in an experiment, every variable must be identical.

That means setting off an atomic b*mb in the same location a-and opening that rift or whatever it was.

I can't emphasize this enough...

We cannot let her do this.

Then, we'll just have to stop her.

Which means stopping an atomic b*mb.

Not just any b*mb...

The bombs used in the Isodyne test.

Those were manufactured by Roxxon.

After 1946, the two remaining warheads were put in storage.

Well, it won't be the first time we've infiltrated a Roxxon facility.

They have several facilities, and the location of each is classified.

There's no way to know which one is housing the bombs.

Well, that's... not entirely accurate.

Mr. Stark's rivalry with Hugh Jones is ever ongoing.

He's had extensive research done on Roxxon and all its facilities.

Call it corporate espionage.

There is one particular Roxxon location a few hours outside of Los Angeles, which I believe would be the most likely place.

Why is it our leading contender?

The security.

Compared to the other facilities, it's quite intense.

I believe the word "impenetrable" was used.

In my experience, nothing is impenetrable.

That may well be, but Mr. Stark has never been able to get anyone inside this particular location.

The elevator requires a special key...

One that's impossible to duplicate.

We don't need a key. We'll blow the hinges off the door.

Which would trigger the expl*sives set inside them and k*ll us all.

We'll drill into the lock.

Which would Pierce the acid core, spraying into the elevator, and k*ll us all.

We'll dig a hole...

Which would trip the 3,000-volt mechanism underground... and k*ll us all.

And k*ll us all.

So, a key, you say?

We cannot steal atomic bombs.

It's not stealing if your company made them, dear.

Well, tell that to Hugh Jones.

If the council found out, I...

If we obtain more zero matter, Cal, then the council answers to us.

This is insane.

People thought Galileo was insane.

This plan will work, Cal.

It will work.

Look at me.

You have seen what I can do with just a small amount of zero matter.

I mean, can you imagine?

Just imagine what we could accomplish if we had the power to bend the world to our will.

No more w*r, no more fear, and you... you... you would finally get the recognition and the respect that you deserve.

[Breathes sharply]

How do you, uh, see us accomplishing this, hmm?

I think it's time we lean on my connections.

[Laughter]

Sousa: I wake up. I'm searching my pockets.

It's gone.

[Chuckling] The ring is completely gone.

I can't find it.

What's all this, then?

Didn't you hear?

Chief finally asked his girl to marry him.

[Laughs] Poor Violet.

Doesn't realize she could do better, huh?

[Laughter]

Congratulations, Daniel. Violet's a lucky woman.

Thank you. That means a lot.

Can I speak to you a moment?

Yeah.

Thompson called, poking around for you again.

How many vacation days you got left?

Plenty. I haven't had a day off since Pearl Harbor.

How is your disguise department shaping up?

For you? Low on evening gowns. Why?

I need to sneak into Hugh Jones' office.

At Roxxon? Are you sure that's a good idea?

Didn't you meet him last year in New York?

I'm sure he doesn't pay that much attention to every woman he meets.

Oh. He'd remember you, Peg.

The guys at the lab have something new.

If it works, you wouldn't have to rely on just a disguise.

Thanks. We'll need this.

What for?

Greasing the wheel.

[Inhales deeply]

What's the catch?

No catch, Dr. Samberly. Just pie.

We thought you'd enjoy a slice.

And m-maybe Agent Carter could borrow that thing you're working on.

I knew there were strings attached.

We call it the memory inhibitor.

You place it like so.

[Electricity crackling]

No.

Well, you put it to the subject's temples.

It disrupts the pathway of the prefrontal lobes.

It makes them forget the last two minutes.

Amazing. And it works?

We've run several tests on Jerry with positive results.

No, you didn't. [Chuckles]

I'm sorry about that. He was being very inappropriate.

So...

...do we have a deal?

Deal.

This field serves as a runway for private planes.

There's a minimum of four guards, all heavily armed, stationed within this perimeter.

And this fence is electrified, I assume.

Indeed.

Once we're inside the building, we'll need to find the freight elevator and use the key to access the lower levels, where Roxxon stores its highly classified items.

So you're saying once we get past the guards and the electrified fence, all we have to worry about is diffusing the atomic bombs?

Actually, I don't think you'll need to worry on that front.

Chief Sousa has the steadiest hands I've seen.

Well, since mine, of course.

Former reconnaissance scout.

Let's just say this won't be my first time diffusing a b*mb.

These aren't just bombs.

One mishandled uranium rod could trigger an expl*si*n that would decimate the entire city.

Sounds like a b*mb to me.

You just destroyed all of Los Angeles.

And this is all the intelligence that we have?

Nothing from the inside?

I'm afraid Mr. Stark's men have never been able to gain access.

We'll be going in blind.

And unarmed, given the volatile nature of the materials inside.

And severely outmanned. I don't like this.

11.

I went with the SSR because I was told I had an opportunity to use my expertise in field operations.

Who told you that?

You did, chief Sousa. Don't you remember?

That hurts me... right here.

Listen, I interviewed a lot of prospects.

But you picked me.

And I picked you because I thought I'd be doing more than tinkering around this lab while other agents went off on missions.

Fine. You're on the team.

What else you got?

Let me go pack up my bag of toys.

How can you be sure he's not in the council's pocket, as well?

Bleeding appears to be under control.

This would really be better if you went to a hospital.

No! No.

Then, deep breaths, Peggy...

'Cause this is gonna hurt.

Aah!

We'll need to get more uranium.

You just need to call Hugh Jones and explain the situation.

Explain the situation?

Yes.

Hugh is a good sport, Cal.

Just convince him that we need to run the zero-matter test again.

No, no. No!

Whitney!

[Glass shatters]

I will not go to Hugh Jones.

I will not ask another favor.

I will not put myself in another ridiculous position where I may die.

You need to calm down.

You are overreacting, dear.

What?

Because of you, I am now indebted to a lord of the criminal underworld and at the mercy of the council.

And the council does not trade in mercy.

If we had gotten the bombs...

Oh, if we succeeded, that would've been one thing, but this was a disaster, Whitney, and I'm not helping you anymore.

You need to stop. You're out of control.

Mnh.

[Breathing quickly]

You'll watch your tone.

Yeah, she's gonna be okay.

Thanks, Rose.

Rose and Dr. Samberly just finished securing the uranium rods.

Well, that's a plus... [Grunts] at least.

Mnh. Oh, God.

[Grunts]

[Sighs]

You really scared me there.

Please do not do that again.

Get impaled?

Yes, chief.

♪

You're bleeding's already under control.

The rebar missed everything vital.

You'll need to rest, which means no more...

Well, doing whatever the hell you were doing.

You just need to be boring for a while.

Ah, good. You're awake.

I pulled the car around.

Ah.

She really shouldn't be moving around all that much.

It might be better if you stay with me for a few days, Peggy.

Oh, I couldn't possibly ask any more of you.

Here we go.

Thank you, Violet. Truly.

Any time.

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Door opens]

[Sighs] Thank you so much.

[Door closes]

You were amazing tonight.

You didn't tell me.

Tell you what? About the mission?

You... you know I can't tell you about the...

No, I'm not talking about the mission.

You said you moved here because you wanted a fresh start, but that's not the whole truth, is it?

Of course it is.

You were running away.

No. No, I wasn't.

God, you were running away from Peggy.

Okay, Violet...

It's not what you think it is.

Well, I think you're in love with her.

Aren't you, Daniel?

[Rotary telephone dialing]

[Sighs]

Get the council together.

I want to call an emergency meeting.

I don't care about procedure.

They're gonna want to hear this.

♪

Oh, please, Mr. Jarvis, I'm fine.

I'm not going to be able to breathe with all these blankets on me as it is.

I didn't think of that.

I just need to sleep. So do you, might I add.

You did disarm an atomic b*mb today.

Two...

Two atomic bombs.

Well, I think you've earned your bedtime.

Very well.

But finish your tea and get some rest.

Butler's orders.

You know, these adventures...

They're only enjoyable if you return from them, Miss Carter.

I heartly can't go, Mr. Jarvis.

Does it hurt?

[Sighs]

Not compared to the pain that I felt when she touched me.

The place where zero matter comes from... it's dark.

Painful.

It's not the place you want to be.

Is that so?

How do you know that?

It's a conversation for another night.

Maybe for now we could just... listen to some music, or something.

You know, rest.

Butler's orders.

♪

It's your song.

"I Wanna Be Loved".

Don't be alone.

Peggy, I...

Jason.

Jason, what's happening?

[Indistinctly speaking]

Jason!

Jason!
