Ep 5:
Fitz asks Simmons to dinner. 6 months ago. He leaves the room. The rock takes Simmons in. She lands on the alien planet. Screams for Fitz to help her. Takes out her phone. No service, of course. She runs up to the top of a hill. Sees the other moons.
6 hours later. She talks to the recorder in her phone. Air is breathable. Gravity seems to be slightly stronger. Terrain is barren, desert like. No immediate sign of life, vegetation, or water. Fitz will find a way. We're going to dinner.
13 hours. She decides to sleep. Uses her jacket as a pillow.
22 hours. Wakes suddenly. There has to be a sunrise eventually.
71 hours. Where is the sun?! I want the sun!! She's breaking down. I want to go home.
79 hours. She needs to search for water. Leaves her necklace on a rock.
81 hours. Still talking to Fitz, dreaming of their dinner. What if we run out of things to talk about? She slips and falls.
99 hours. She's crawling now. Desperate for water. Sandstorm coming for her.
101 hours. She unburies herself. Stumbles toward a pool and drinks. Laughs. Cries.
109 hours. She's floating in the water. Then gets grabbed. She swims to the ends and beats off the tentacle. Ewwwww.
111 hours. She eats it. Grimaces.
492 hours. 3 weeks. If I don't eat, I won't make it. And the only source of food also thinks I'm food. She hunts the tentacle thing in the water. Goes under. Then comes up and drags more tentacle on the sand. Tries to make a fire. Finally gets it started. Cooks and eats the thing, and belches. LOL. She wishes Fitz could've been here......No, I don't. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Read my mind. I'm alive and I'm terribly alone and afraid. I really need you to come and get me, okay? I know you won't give up so I won't, either.
752 hours. One month. Conserving battery power. Lost her way to the entry point. She hears a noise. Creeps along with her weapon. The rattling of tree trunks in the wind. She falls down a hole and lands hard.
761 hours. Simmons wakes in a cage. She's been left food and water.
783 hours. She's curled up in the corner. The man says, you're still here. She yells at him to let her out of here now! He walks away.
824 hours. She exercises. She gives him her name. If you let me out, I can help you. We can help each other. He leaves more food.
851 hours. You poisoned me. Why would you do that? He opens the door and she hits him in the head and runs. He chases. She falls and cuts her leg on a rock. He says it smells blood, and ties a bandage on, then drags her to a hatch in the ground. Move! They hide underground. She asks what's out there? He says death. It's evil. This whole planet is evil. She says no, planets have ecosystems. He says this planet doesn't have rules, it has moods. He has a first aid kit. He locked her up because he didn't know if she was real. She asks his name. Will. Then if he has alcohol. Sure, I'll run down to the drugstore.
853 hours. She says you came here prepared. He asks if she came alone. Yes. He doesn't know how long he's been here. What year is it? 2015. She follows him into another chamber. There's an astronaut suit. He came in 2001. 14 years! Will says it's hard to keep track. You'll see.
855 hours. She finds a map. He's amazed by her phone. She turns it off to conserve the batter. He says NASA sent power, but it's solar, so.... There's a natural source of heat coming from below the rock. He makes food. NASA was curious about the Monolith. A group thought it was the affordable future of space travel. She says she's with SHIELD. He was an Air Force test pilot. Volunteered first to come here. Came here with 3 scientists. He was to keep everyone alive. She asks about the others. He says It. It makes you crazy in the head. 2 of them committed suicide. The 3rd attacked him and he killed him to survive. He survived mostly by luck. He says you have no idea what the hell is going on here.
She apologizes for implying he went crazy. Suggests they start over. Work on getting home. There's always hope.
1490 hours. They miss real food. Gourmet food. Miss the sun. She shows him a video from her birthday. He says you talk about Fitz a lot. His name is your favorite word. She asks if he has someone. He thought there'd be time later. She turns in for the night. Thanks for dinner. Says goodnight to Fitz on her phone. Goodnight, Will.
3010 hours. She's getting frustrated. Still no closer to an answer. She wants to go to the no-fly zone. He says no. She says there could be something there. he says you are not going.
She goes on the surface. Spots a light. finds a sword stuck in the sand. And a knapsack. And a box with an astrolabe. Sandstorm rises. She tumbles into some dead bones. Something's coming! She runs from him, it. Hides behind a rock.
Will sees her running. She says open the door, it's coming! They get underground. She says you were right, I saw it. He says you could've been killed or worse. She says you knew about that place? He says yes. That Thing has been killing people here for centuries. She says sending people here with no way back is like sacrifices. But....she knows how to get them home.
Simmons works on the map. 3022 hours. The portal is fixed. The planet rotates. Track the stars, and see the rotation rate. She will use her phone battery to power his equipment. He says if this doesn't work, it's the end of Fitz and all your friends. She watches the birthday vid one last time.
More hours pass. She gets it working and hugs Will. Then the computer dies. She's got a location. 18 days from now. He says it's impossible to cross, we'll never make it.
3561 hours. He asks why science. She says scoliosis. She had surgery and her dad would wheel her out to see the stars. She says the portal won't stay home long. We'll send a message in a bottle. She says we have to leave tomorrow. He'll shoot a grappling hook across the canyon.
3575 hours. Eat, shower, or sleep. He'll eat. She'll eat in the shower and fall asleep while doing it. He says geologists think this used to be a Paradise. He brought a gun, one bullet left, in case they see IT. They get to the canyon and it's not 30 yards across anymore. The portal is opening. He'll try to shoot the bottle into it. It closes and the bottle shatters.
Back in the cave. We're never going home. Will says maybe this is our home now. She says this is Hell. He holds her while she weeps. You were right. There's no hope on this planet. He says that's what I used to think. Then you showed up. She kisses him.
4720 hours. She puts her necklace back on. Kisses him. They go outside. Good spot for a sunrise. It'll only last a few minutes. He has wine from the graveyard. To the sun. It's about time. She drinks and spits it out. That's pure vinegar! LOL. She suggests using it in their cooking. Says I think my dad would've liked you. There's a flare!! She says we're going home! They run to it. Will says tops, get back here. No, not now. He tells her to go. She's in sand and loses sight of Will. Then she sees a spacesuit. Will yells at her to run. Don't trust it! IT is here. Will finds her. Looks at me. Run, go, you can make it. She hears a shot. Then hears Fitz yelling her name. She wanders to him, hoping Will will find her again.
She doesn't know if Will is alive or dead. But I never would've survived without him. Talk to me, Fitz, please. He gets up and leaves. Ouch. She goes in the lab, after him. Fitz understands. Then why won't you talk to me? What are you doing? He shows her the computer screen. We're going to get him back. She cries.
Will looks at the sunrise. Tosses the empty gun away. Sun goes down.
Next week - May is back. Bobbi's ready to go back in the field. Too bad Hydra saw them coming.
