"S.H.I.E.L.D. found the train. Turns out it switched tracks shortly after we got off. That grenade must have released some kind of toxin. Made us believe no time had passed."
Phil Coulson to Melinda May

T.R.A.C.K.S. is the thirteenth episode of the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Synopsis[]

Hot on the trail of the Clairvoyant, Coulson and his team board a mystery train that seems to be headed for certain death.

Plot[]

In order to find the Clairvoyant, the team boards a train in Italy, on which a Cybertek Inc. security group led by Carlo Mancini was shipping a ten million dollar package to Ian Quinn. The team takes over the mission for an Italian police member named Luca Russo. The team splits into groups, with Phil Coulson and Jemma Simmons posing as a father and daughter, while Leo Fitz and Skye work with Grant Ward and Melinda May to track down the package. However, the group is exposed, leaving Coulson and Ward to flee the train. When they look up, the train is gone.

At the same time, May parachutes off the train to avoid gunshots and finds Coulson and Ward, frozen by a sedative. She hotwires a car, but is captured by Luca Russo, who was with Cybertek all along and tortured for information. May manages to escape, and returns to the Bus. Coulson and Ward also return to the bus and try to figure out how to work Fitz-Simmons' Holotable when Russo arrives for help. May sneaks up and swiftly kills Russo, much to the confusion of Coulson. At the same time as the train shooting, Fitz and Skye are in the bed of the train when Simmons runs in saying they have been made. A Cybertek man then runs in with a grenade. Simmons sacrifices herself and hugs him before the grenade goes off. However, the grenade is a sedative and she is just knocked out.

Fitz and Skye then disembark to track the package to Quinn's mansion. In the basement, Skye is confronted by Quinn and Mancini, who reveal that Mike Peterson is alive, having been kept in a hyperbaric chamber. The team regroups with Simmons on the train as they go into the mansion to help Fitz and Skye. Back in the basement, Mancini opens the package containing a high-tech prosthetic leg which he then fits onto Peterson's amputated right leg. To test Peterson's obedience to the Centipede Project, Quinn orders him to kill Skye. He refuses, stating that Skye is not who he is supposed to kill. Quinn then shoots Skye twice in the stomach and leaves her for dead, stating that he has his own orders. Peterson then executes the Cybertek security team because they led S.H.I.E.L.D. to the mansion.

Quinn walks right into the S.H.I.E.L.D. raid on the mansion. Coulson cuts him off and sees blood on his hand. He demands to know where Skye is. Quinn teases Coulson. They run and find Skye in the basement, bleeding out. Simmons orders everyone to put Skye in the chamber keeping Peterson. They configure the temperatures and Skye finally breathes. They go to bring her to a hospital. Peterson has gained his new prosthetic leg through Project Deathlok. He secretly observes his son at a playground and requests through his robotic eye that his handler let him see his son, by writing on a piece of paper for the handler to read. He receives a response of "not yet."
