Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.2013

Senator Christian Ward:
What do you want?

Phil Coulson:
An opportunity to clear the air. The attack on the U.N. wasn't S.H.I.E.L.D., it was Hydra - specifically a man named Daniel Whitehall.

Senator Christian Ward:
You're not hear to clear the air. You need something from me. And all this swaggering simply tells me you have nothing to offer in return. What do you want me to do? Go on record defending S.H.I.E.L.D., condemning HYDRA? The American people are looking for a simple enemy, Mr. Coulson. It's what makes them feel safe.

Phil Coulson:
And how do you think they'd feel if they knew your brother was HYDRA? That an awfully complicated ideal to grasp, especially in an election year.

Senator Christian Ward:
Are you threatening me, Mr. Coulson?

Phil Coulson:
No. I'm telling you I have your brother in my basement.
