Secret Invasion Episode 1 "Resurrection" Synopsis

Executive Producers - Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Samuel L. Jackson, Ali Selim, Kyle Bradstreet, Brian Tucker

Head Writer: Kyle Bradstreet

All Episodes directed by: Ali Selim

Episode Written by: Kyle Bradstreet and Brian Tucker

Former CIA agent Everett Ross meets a contact, Agent Prescod, in Moscow, where Prescod shares his theory that multiple coordinated terrorist attacks point to an infiltration of a secret force of shape shifting Skrulls across the planet.

Ross kills the operative and escapes with the information. When he realises he's being pursued he calls Maria Hill for an extraction. But as the pursuit intensifies, Everett Ross falls to his death in front of Maria. But as his body transforms to its original Skrull form, his pursuer reveals himself as Nick Fury's close Skrull friend Talos.

Nick Fury returns to earth from his mission setting up the planet's defence system S.A.B.E.R. Talos tells him all about the new Skrull threat, a young Skrull Gravik, disillusioned by Nick Fury's failure to provide the Skrull refugees with a new home. His methods to build a new Skrull homeland on earth are extreme and violent with the intention to start a war between countries. Gravik has been calling other Skrulls to his cause at his base, New Skrullos, in an abandoned nuclear facility where he is planning his next strike against Moscow.

Using his contact in MI6, Sonya Falsworth, Nick learns of a bomb maker in Moscow who is working with the Skrulls. Fury and Talos confront the bomb maker and learn of the plot to set up three explosions around a central square in Moscow which will plunge the planet into another Cold War.

Talos meets his daughter G'iah who has joined the renegade Skrull forces under the leadership of Gravik. He pleads with his daughter to help Fury stop the bomb and G'iah agrees to mark the bombs so they can be tracked.

Fury, Maria Hill and Talos converge on the bombers thanks, seemingly to the tracers placed by G'iah, but their backpacks are empty. As the bombs go off and chaos erupts, Maria is shot by a Skrull who takes the face of Nick Fury to trap her. Searching for her murderer Fury is faced by Gravick as he makes his escape.
