Coulson: Not my first rodeo, so I might’ve already figured out a *little* about what’s going on here. You’ve got the gravitonium and the total disregard for human safety, check. You’ve got Ivan Drago and Crusher Creel on the payroll, check! And then there’s you, rogue general operating with zero oversight. Add it all up, it just doesn’t feel like an Air Force operation.
Hale: It’s not. It’s Hydra.
Coulson: I thought we stomped you out.
Hale: Yes. Just as you were stomped out. And yet, here we are in the same room. I’d like to tell you my story. And then you’ll know it’s time.
Coulson: Time for what?
Hale: It’s time for SHIELD and Hydra to finally unite.
