The Cut Rate Drugs is a pharmacy in New York City.

History

Ambush on the NYPD Officers

"Could be anytime. When he gets here, just count the dough. Let me do the talking."
"You got it, boss."
William Dole and an NYPD Officer[src]

In 1931, William Dole was preparing with two other NYPD officers to receive an illegal shipment of alcohol from Jimmy Bottles. However, Luke, Abel, and Cain entered the pharmacy instead. The Chronicoms announced who they were and killed two of the officers. Luke then used his eraser to assume Dole's identity. While Abel and Cain took off their skin to prepare to do the same, Bottles walked in and dropped the alcohol out of fear, prompting the Chronicoms to kill him. The Chronicoms then assumed the officer's identities and prepared to attack Freddy Malick.

The New York City Police Department later found the officers' faceless bodies and began an investigation.[1]

Investigated by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Alphonso Mackenzie, Daisy Johnson, Deke Shaw, and Phil Coulson later arrived at the pharmacy, pretending to be from the Canadian police. As they entered the pharmacy, Shaw used a facial reconstruction device to create a digital reconstruction of the officers' faces. Coulson then discovered one of the bottles that Jimmy Bottles had dropped, noting the swordfish logo. He realized that it must be connected to a speakeasy that would later become an SSR facility, so he and Mackenzie left to investigate it, while Shaw and Johnson stayed behind to continue investigating the corpses.[1]

Attack of Deke Shaw and Quake

Growing impatient, Daisy Johnson left the pharmacy to ensure that nobody was watching them. As she left, Luke recognized her as Quake, and ordered Cain and Abel to take care of her and anybody else inside. While Cain led Johnson to the back of the building under the guise of investigating a suspicious vehicle, Abel entered the building and confronted Deke Shaw. The Chronicoms attacked, planning on killing the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. However, Shaw used his facial reconstruction device as a weapon against Abel, incapacitating him long enough for Shaw to escape. He barricaded the back door of the pharmacy, and distracted Cain long enough for Johnson to render him unconscious.[1]
