Loki, Alex, Selvig the other S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel are in the parking lot of the facility, quickly gathering certain weapons. Agent Hill watches in confusion, referring to Loki. ALEX REID "Need these vehicles", pointing to the Loki team. AGENT HILL "Who's that?". ALEX REID "He didn't tell me". Agent Hill looks suspiciously at them as they get into the truck and turns to leave, as she's walking away... FURY "Hill, do you copy?!", he said through the walkie-talkie. Loki and Alex sharply look at Agent Hill.

Back at the lab, Fury is sitting up, pulling out the bullet, breathing heavily. FURY "Alex is... 

Back with Loki, Alex, and Agent Hill. Suddenly, Hill turns to shoot at Alex, but Alex is already pointing her gun at her and starts shooting, Alex gets into one of the trucks and moves the driver's seat and drives off as Hill keeps shooting.

Back at the lab, Fury is holding his side, running. FURY "He's got the Tesseract! Track it down!". The energy is really brewing a fucking shit storm from the vacuum chamber ceiling. 

Back in the tunnel, Agent Hill slips into a jeep and follows Alex's truck. Loki's truck screech across the tunnel. Several SHIELD trucks pull up to them. A drive-by shooting ensures. Loki, who stands on top of the bed of the truck, uses his scepter and emits energy blast, flipping over SHIELD trucks. They get in, the cars roar out after them. Agent Hill puts herself at a distance. On the Facility floor, Fury out of the hallway, avoiding falling pipes. The entire facility is now in a full earthquake. Agent Coulson and several SHIELD agents fall down the steps, dropping a silver case of the information. They attempt to grab them, but... AGENT COULSON "No! Leave it!". They run out of there like a bat from hell.

In the tunnel, Agent Hill's jeep roars out of a side of Alex's truck and pulls up alongside them on the left. She goes way ahead and pulls her break, swerving into a 360, facing Alex's truck, and driving in reverse. Alex's arms reach out the open window and opens fire. Agent Hill figures 'fuck it' and shoots her windshield opening fire on Alex. Agent Coulson jumps into a SHIELD van. On his walkie: AGENT COULSON "You're clear, sir! You need to go! 

On the helicopter pad Fury bolts out of the facility and jumps into a helicopter. The surface of the pad gives way, plunging the helicopter through the surface, but Fury's chopper barely makes it out.

In the tunnel, still in a chase and drive-by sequence, Alex pushes the pedal harder, which causes Agent Hill's jeep to wobble out and put her back behind.

In the Radiation Facility, the Tesseract's energy cloud now shrinks into a small ball of white light. Then... a cloud of blue light consumes the entire facility and parts of the desert. Fury watches from below, a rapid build-up into what may be an implosion. 

Several miles away, Agent Coulson's van feels a jolt of the Tesseract's blastwave. The entire facility swallows into itself -- a terrifying, unimaginable implosion.

The blastwave of the Tesseract causes the tunnel to cave in. Like an ocean wave, blinding crumbles of falling rock, fall onto Agent Hill's jeep, leaving her nearly trapped under this blanket of rock. Alex's truck escaped the tunnel and drive into the desert landscape. Fury's helicopter roars over Alex's truck. Loki looks up. From the chopper's door, it slides open and Fury stands there, holding a gun, shooting at Alex's truck, giving an honoring image of Jules Winnfield. Loki looks at Fury and in a fit of rage, points his scepter and shoots out the blue light. The chopper catches on fire, going down in a fiery ball. Fury, like the boss he is, jumps out and touches down onto the desert floor. The chopper barrels along the ground. Fury, coming back to his senses, fires at Loki, but they're too far and too late. Loki looks back, smiling. Fury stands there, mind reeling. Then... AGENT COULSON, on the walkie-talkie, "Director? Director Fury, do you copy?". FURY "The Tesseract is with the hostile force. I have men down. Hill?".

In the tunnel, Agents Hill climbs out of her jeep, which is sandwiched in, but luckily, not her. AGENT HILL "A lot of men still under, don't know how many survivors". FURY "Sound the general call. I want every living soul not working rescue looking for that briefcase. AGENT HILL, over the walkie-talkie, "Roger that". FURY "Coulson, get back to us. This is a level seven as of right now. We are at war. AGENT COULSON, over the walkie-talkie, "What do we do?". Fury stands there, thinking, he looks up. On his face is a sign of hope.
