Marvel's Agent Carter

Previously on "Agent Carter"...

The machine that Dr. Wilkes built is working.

And we've located Dottie.

Don't expect Peggy Carter to come and rescue you.

I need you to discredit and subdue Agent Carter.

Dig something up on her.

Drop your weapons!

Peggy, is this supposed to be a rescue?

What did you tell her?!

You knew this was a trap. Of course.

But it wasn't set for you.

Jason.

Jarvis: Ana.

We can help each other control it.

You can't control it.

You get what you need, sweetheart?

Not everything.

You won't get away with this.

She won't stop coming for you.

Aah!

Ana!

"An orange glow would indicate

"the nitramene has reached peak volatility

and should be handled with caution.

Cracking its shell would result in an implosion

with a blast radius of..."

Oh. 500 yards.

Delightful.

There's one last note here.

"Avoid touching the core to the containment ring.

Touching the core will result in..."

Death?

I was going to say "core overload,"

but yes.

Edwin, I'm home!

Uh, I won't be a moment, Ana!

Hello, darling.

How was your life-drawing class?

Excellent.

Next week, we begin nudes.

- How very progressive. - Mm.

Who was that on the telephone?

That was Mr. Stark's newest associate.

Is he going to help exonerate Mr. Stark?

- Who? - The man on the phone.

Woman, actually.

Miss Peggy Carter.

Oh.

I don't think she's like the others.

I think he respects her.

Mm.

Oh, where's my head?

Benny Goodman is starting.

- - You are trying to distract me.

Nonsense.

From what?

Worry.

There's nothing to be worried about.

I promise you.

Miss Carter won't interfere with our lives in the least.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Wasn't sure how much cream...

The only thing I can get this ridiculous machine to tune into

is Groucho Marx.

I'll try.

We have a very precise schedule.

And if I can just get Benny Goodman, then maybe she'll...

Oh!

Sit.

Look.

She's out of surgery.

She has color in her cheeks.

Miss Carter, they can't even say if she'll wake up.

What Ana needs right now is for you to be beside her,

listening to your voice, no one else's.

I'm going to go home, pick up one of Howard's radios,

bring you a change of clothes, toothbrush, razor,

so that when she does wake up,

you will look like you.

All right?

Good.

Frost: You're awake.

By my timing,

you'll begin to lose mass in two minutes.

You're studying me?

I'm studying us.

Now tell me... what happens when you vanish?

Do you travel to someplace else, or...?

Tell me what you've learned.

You have me handcuffed, and you actually expect to compare notes?

Yes.

Physicist to physicist.

And then you'll let me go?

Hand me some paper and a pen, and I'll write down the formulas

- I used to create my containment unit. - No, you're killing time.

Excuse me?

You think if you wait one minute,

you'll just fade through those handcuffs and escape, don't you?

Or maybe you're waiting

for Peggy Carter to come and rescue you.

- You want the truth? - Yes.

I'm hoping I disappear and don't come back.

Oh, I don't believe that.

I don't believe that for a moment,

not after you've worked so hard

to stay in the realm of existence.

And there is another option for you to consider,

aside from your demise.

We work together. Yes.

Examining each other.

We already know that if I get close to you,

you draw zero matter from me and become solid,

which you can't control.

I discovered that while you were unconscious.

Don't touch me!

Just answer me this one question.

Do you hear it?

Hear what?

The voice...

As if it's coming from your own thoughts,

but it's coming from someplace else.

D-do you... Do you hear it?

Or am I truly going crazy?

10 seconds.

Don't worry.

I promise you, this won't hurt a bit.

Thank God you're all right. What happened?

Whitney Frost. She has Jason.

Is he hurt?

Ana Jarvis.

Oh, no. She...

She's in hospital.

I... I don't know.

What did you get into?

Oh.

Vernon Masters isn't above

ordering an old-fashioned beatdown.

He's looking for the uranium rods for Whitney Frost.

Well, if she wants them so badly...

Let's get them to her.

You're willing to give up the uranium rods for Jason?

I need Whitney to think I am.

Question is, how do I reach her?

Maybe Joseph Manfredi.

His soldiers were helping out at the Roxxon factory.

But aren't they just men for hire?

No, they're more than that.

Wait. Where you going?

I need to change.

Well, really, I need a hot bath, but, um...

- Uh, neh? - Oh, yeah. Um...

You were saying?

Joseph Manfredi, Whitney Frost?

Uh... yeah.

They were an item.

Movie-star Whitney Frost and a mobster?

Remember the figueroa street slaughter?

Six criminals gunned down during a card game.

Tabloids say that happened the same day

Whitney dumped Manfredi for Calvin Chadwick.

So he's a maniac.

He's a man in love.

Looks like we got company.

We're looking for some spaghetti.

We only serve steak.

- I have a message for your chef. - Sorry.

We're closed.

Aw, nonna, you're gonna love my gravy.

I put a couple of cloves in there at the end,

- spice it up real nice. - No, no, no, no.

- - No, I'm not!

- - No, I'm just trying something different!

Oh, okay. What would you like?

You want me to throw it in the trash?

Is that what you want me to do? Will that make you happy?

- Ah! Ah! - Of course not!

Of course not, 'cause nothing makes you happy, right?

- You can't be happy! - Unh!

Looks like we got two more for lunch.

Man: Hey!
