HYDRA found Raina. Tried to grab her in Vancouver.

Establishing

A quick establishing shot of Vancouver, taken from stock footage, sets the scene for the B storyline where Raina is on the run from Whitehall and his goons. This footage is looking northwest from downtown.

Bakery

Raina and the man she’s hanging with, Chad, order food in a bakery before Raina is spooked by Agent 33, still wearing May’s face. Raina takes off out the front door, attempting to look inconspicuous as two goons follow her.

The Hygge Bakery at 1106 S. Hope St, in Los Angeles, plays the location of the bakery perfectly, without even batting an eye.

  • Raina and Chad inside a Vancouver bakery.
  • Raina exits a Vancouver bakery.
  • Men exit a black van on a Vancouver street.
  • Two men in suits run across a Vancouver street.

Parking Lot

As Raina hustles along the sidewalk, she is called into a small parking area by Sam Koenig, who hides her under a cloaked umbrella.

This driveway/parking lot is just south of 1130 Hope Street in Los Angeles. The brick building behind Sam is no longer in existence, but was also from a famous film. It was used as the exterior for Detective Eddie Valiant’s offices in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

  • Raina walking on Vancouver sidewalk.
  • Sam Koenig motions Raina into a Vancouver alley.
  • Raina's POV inside cloaked umbrella.
  • Man looks into empty Vancouver alley.

Sidewalk

Sam Koenig picks up a tail, and when he pauses to check his cell phone, Hunter knocks out the bodyguard, who collapses on the sidewalk.

This portion of “Vancouver” was filmed one street to the east of the Bakery and Parking Lot above. The action takes place in front of 1111 S. Grand Street, also in Los Angeles.

Alley

A quick shot of Agent May taking out two other goons in a van and dumping their bodies into an alley was filmed in the parking lot area from above (1130 S. Hope is the brick building behind May), and in the alley between Hope and Grand Streets (behind 1140 S. Hope St).

  • Agent May in a brick alley.
  • Body in alley by van.

Alleyway

The Vancouver sequence ends with Skye protecting Raina from two goons who run across the street with their guns drawn. Luckily, May shows up with the stolen van and knocks both of them out cold.

This extended sequence takes place on the north side of 1130 S. Hope St. The same green building can be seen in the background, behind the goons, as was seen from Raina and Koenig’s POV in the parking lot above.
