Previously on Marvel's
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D...

S.H.I.E.L.D. still needs a face.

Keep the title, but when it comes
to operations, I'm calling the shots.

We were so close.

Your previous model had
the Darkhold book in her hand.

And all the answers it holds.
Oh, poor Fitz.

We could just reboot the head
in a controlled environment,

and then we could
diagnose the problem together.

Please! Drop it.

- I'm gonna figure out what broke you.
- Thank you, Fitz.

Will there be another opportunity
to acquire the Darkhold?

Agent May's decoy will be more convincing.

Her programming operates
on a subconscious level.

If Agent May isn't aware of her mission
to retrieve the Darkhold,

then she won't be able to reveal herself.

She'll instinctively climb the ranks,
gain access,

and get closer to Agent Coulson,
the man who knows just where this book is.

Sorry.

Didn't think you'd get stuck on a milk run
to Radcliffe's.

- We're gonna miss you in the field.
- I'll catch up.

Can't let you have all the fun.

When this is over, it's time.
We are cracking that bottle.

- You don't have to twist my arm.
- I wouldn't dare. You might whip my ass.

Agent May.

Director Mace... he... he knows
that Aida is...

- what Aida is?
- Yeah. He knows.

I wish I'd been there to explain.

Ho... how did he take it?

He wants to use her on this but concerned.

"Concerned." That's not a happy word.

- Did... Did he say...
- He wants to talk, has questions.

I don't like those words, either.

I hear you're on your way to personally
escort Aida. Why?

Well, no one knows what she can do.
And she saw the Darkhold.

Well, I could help with that.
Once I've studied it,

- I'd be able to determine...
- No. No. No one's touching it.

When this is over,
I'm destroying the book myself.

Because it's dangerous, yeah.
I... I... I understand.

You still need access to my apartment.
Maybe I could, uh...

No, that's never been a problem
for me.

Right, right, right.

Well, I'll reach out to Aida, anyway,
tell her to expect you.

Be ready to help solve
the current problem.

- Sure.
- Okay.

Aida, I want you to access
your information cache.

Locate the Sunset Protocol.

I have it, Doctor.

Activate it.

Hello, Agent May.
I've been expecting you.

Dr Radcliffe gave me
specific instructions. Happy to help.

Allow me to retrieve
the neural-assessment gauge.

What's a neural-assessment gauge?

Oh.

I apologise, Agent May.

Let's get you up to speed, shall we?

- What's a neural-assessment gauge?
- Right this way.

Hope you liked your facial, Melinda.
It's time for your massage. Ready?

I don't remember coming here.

You dozed off.
Obviously, you're very relaxed.

That's good.

Yeah, I don't think I have time for this.
Thanks.

Hope you liked your massage, Melinda.
It's time for your facial.

Look, I... I don't think I want this.

I don't want to be here.

- Hope you liked your facial, Melinda.
- No.

- Aida, no!
- I knew it wasn't real.

Oh. The syringe, Aida.
You have to sedate her.

You bastard.

We may have misjudged
what it takes

to keep Agent May comfortable.

Heart rate normal,
vitals stable.

- Seems to be working.
- You found the solution, Doctor.

Mm. Well, for now, yes.

But it's not a permanent fix.

However, as long as our May replacement
at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base does her job,

- it doesn't have to be.
- Question.

Why does it matter if the original May
is dead or alive?

- Aida?
- It doesn't make logical sense.

We have cerebral replication.
We have physical replication.

No one in S.H.I.E.L.D.
knows she's been replaced.

What empirical difference is there?

Well, for one thing,
the Framework is in beta testing.

- We need May alive for calibration...
- Yes, but I...

But also, we're not killers.

Nathanson was a drastic over-adjustment.

But isn't it preferable to sacrifice
one life to save millions?

Yes, as a last resort, Aida.

But I hope that May won't give us
any kind of problem at all,

and we don't have to face sacrificing her.

Our May Life-Model Decoy
should get us the Darkhold eventually.

And if something goes wrong...

then we have our safety net.

You're referring to the other android...

- now in operation.
- Yes.

Our second LMD.

We have to show the world
who she really is.

And it's well past time.
Daisy now represents S.H.I.E.L.D.

- Everything has to be above-board.
- But marching into the Capitol Building

so Daisy can sign the Sokovia Accords?
Senator Nadeer will be there.

- It seems risky.
- We're all aware of the dangers,

- some of us more than others.
- I'm fine with it, Jemma.

Are you? It doesn't seem like you.
And, Coulson, you're letting her.

That... It doesn't seem like you, either.

With Nadeer and her staff in the meeting,
we have an opportunity.

What opportunity?
I wasn't briefed on any opportunity.

While Nadeer's in with Daisy,

Yo-Yo and I will get into her office
and plant surveillance.

We can finally keep an eye on her,
figure out her next move.

What? No. No.

No, there'll be no planting, no eyeing,
no Yo-Yo-ing.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is now legitimate.
We have to remain above reproach.

You mean like juicing our Director
so he can pretend to be Inhuman?

Look, you are reacting to the situation
we had.

You put Jeffrey in place, I understand,
but we're S.H.I.E.L.D.

- We have to be proactive.
- This is politics, Phil,

which means politicians.

They are a festering cesspool
of toxic-waste fires.

You swim in those waters,
you could get pulled under.

You and the Director can handle it.
We'll handle the rest.

May, you with us?

Always.

Hmm. She's stabilised now.

As I said, no reason to even consider
harming Agent May.

Very good, Doctor.

Oh, dear. Not again.

I'm happy Turtleman came out

to play this morning.

You. You're Turtleman.

- It's not a nickname for your...
- Okay, I get it. I get it.

- We could find a nickname for it but...
- No, I'm good.

Okay. Me too.

I enjoy you.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.

I mean, sure, you're an engineer,
and you're smart, and...

your insides are great...

but this outside, these arms...

- they don't even seem real.
- Oh.

You're not so bad yourself.

- "Not bad"?
- Hmm.

I'm a knockout.

And I'm thirsty.

- Want some water?
- No, I'm good.

Oh, is it time for the mission already?

Uh, no, it's a change of plans. I...

I'm not gonna be on this one.

I was just covering
the communications here, anyway.

I, uh... I got to do something else.

Is that the text you just got?

Yeah. It's just a change of plans.

It's, uh...

Look. I'm sorry.

I know it's bad timing,
but you guys are gonna be fine.

Okay?

I'll catch up with you
when you get back.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- Fitz.
- Hey.

- You need something?
- Answers about Aida.

Security report on the incident,
need to close it out.

Okay. What do you need to know?

How much was Aida aware of what she was
going to do before she did it?

Could she have stopped it?

This isn't about a security report, is it?

It's about you.

About ordering Aida to read the Darkhold.

Trust me, I was trying to get her to do
the same thing,

and I'm asking
the same questions that you are.

I think you did what you had to do
in the moment.

It was a hard choice.

Not when it comes to saving you
and Coulson.

No.

That's just how you're built.

Aida?

I need to go out for a bit.

There's a situation
to which I must attend.

Shall I drive you?

No. Shouldn't take long.

Doctor, if Agent May does become
a problem...

Oh, I don't see that happening.

Gentlemen, Agent Mackenzie requested
personal time,

- so he's not with us on this.
- Mack or no Mack, I'm urging you

to reconsider the second part
of this mission.

- Which part is the second part again?
- The stupid part.

Ah. Nadeer's office.

If she discovers you've launched
an unauthorised investigation into her,

it's gonna trigger an investigation
into you. There are always consequences.

It's dangerous, but she's dangerous.

And this is our chance to get ahead
of it proactively.

- Gentlemen, I'm sure we...
- Keep calling me reactive, Phil.

Half the time, I'm reacting

to the steaming pile
of fart pebbles you hand me.

And the other half,
you're not giving me the full story.

- We're like the Odd Couple here.
- Gentlemen, we have a mission.

At the very least,
we need a contingency plan.

If she comes after you,

she's gonna want S.H.I.E.L.D. records,
S.H.I.E.L.D. assets.

Let me take them to a military facility
for protection.

That makes no sense. Our people
are trained to protect those assets.

- Until she deposes all of you.
- General, the assets belong here.

And for the record, Nadeer tried to kill
several people, including me.

Coulson is right.
We need to get ahead of her.

Yeah, but you have to say that, don't you?

Excuse me.

Perhaps you are going to be a problem
after all.

I like you, Agent May.

I don't wish for you to suffer.

I promise to make this quick and painless.

Thanks. I'm not worried.

How're you holding up?

- It's okay to be nervous, you know.
- Me?

Nah, I don't get nervous anymore.

Okay.

Well, I'm just saying, if you are...

I mean, it's not my comfort zone,
but I'm good.

I'll just tell the truth.
I'm good at that.

You?

You don't talk much about your childhood,
do you?

The foster homes, bouncing around.

I imagine, a lot of the time,
it felt like you had to perform

to convince people to like you.

Only the places I wanted to stay.

- Why are you asking?
- Because if you enter every room...

thinking you got to do a song and dance,

eventually everything becomes
a performance.

And believe me, I know how it feels
putting on an act full-time.

Yeah.

You do, don't you?

Anyway, I know it's not an act with you.

Coulson's been saying since day one
that you're the real deal,

and I've learned to trust his read
on people...

so...

He believed in me before I believed
in myself.

You too, you know.

It's why he wants you with us still. He...

He keeps saying you were trying to do
the right thing.

Oh, you've talked about it, huh?

Sure.

And listen, with me...

sometimes it's...

Sometimes I think it's an act.

You got this.

- Jeffrey, I'm surprised to see you.
- Yeah, I'm sure you are.

Surprised to see him not dead, you mean?

There'll be plenty of time to ask
questions after we've started, Ellen.

I expect a lot of questions will be
answered in this meeting.

Have fun.

- Great. What does that even mean?
- I think we're gonna find out.

All right,
let's bring the meeting to order.

Agent Daisy Johnson,
we'd like to swear you in.

You're clear, sir. Go ahead.

Thank you.

- That went well.
- Fitz is an artist.

- So, Mack, personal time, huh?
- Don't put me in the middle of this.

What middle? No middle.
But you know something.

It's not for me to say.
Mack's a very private person.

All I know about him
is what's in his file.

I spent six months on a plane
with the guy.

- I bet I know less than you.
- So, maybe something's on his file.

Maybe you should ask him.

Well, I don't know about annoying him,
but you're starting to annoy me.

Isn't it better to learn things
organically

- instead of all at once in a report?
- No, all at once. Much better.

Private person, secret, same thing.
Must be even tougher with May.

If it's better to get to know each other
in tiny, slow, annoying pieces...

- I don't think that's how I put it.
- ...then you two will never get together.

Me and May?
No. It's not like that.

Please. I don't need to read
a file on you two to know.

You know, no one likes a smart-ass.

That hasn't been my experience.

- You and May ready for the op?
- Yeah, we've got it covered.

Uh. We could always use
a fresh pair of eyes

- if you'd like to join us.
- Yeah, no. I've...

- stuff to do here.
- Okay.

You know, one of the upsides of having
a girlfriend is you get to...

talk about what's bothering you.

Yeah, well, doesn't really sound like
an upside for the girlfriend.

I know you're upset about Aida.
I'm in a strange position.

I don't want to intrude on you
while you're... processing.

But I also want you to know
you can talk to me.

Always.

Yeah, I know.

Just, uh...

You know I go all quiet
when I'm processing.

Okay.

No, Senator, I understand.

Being a party to the Sokovia Accords
would be

very different from being
an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

Well, you'll answer to a different
authority... the public.

Believe me, I've... I've had worse bosses.

- Uh. Next up is Senator Nadeer.
- Thank you, Mr Chairperson.

Agent Johnson, as an Inhuman yourself,
do you feel more responsibility

- to help Inhumans than normal Americans?
- Well, first of all, Inhumans are normal.

Let's be clear about that.

But with regard to whom I'll help,
I'm here for all Americans.

But more often than not, Inhumans are left
to fend for themselves with few resources.

- So, Inhumans cause more trouble.
- No.

Inhumans are more likely the victims
of hate crimes, which is not fair.

They are our friends,
they are our co-workers...

our brothers.

They all deserve help,
wherever they may be.

Agent Johnson...

let's discuss your theft of more than
seven million dollars from three banks

while you were undercover
from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Illegally acquired funds going towards
illegal activity.

So, you say. Has the U.S. government
recovered those funds?

The money has been distributed
to worthy causes.

I see. So, you took the entire
justice system into your own hands.

We're in position.

Place them around the room,
and they'll give us geometric scans.

Coulson.

Security officers approaching
the location. Hold.

Okay, they're moving past. We're good.

I was working
as a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative...

Without signing the Accords,
so either you committed

an illegal act by robbing banks
or S.H.I.E.L.D. committed an illegal act

- by using an unauthorised enhanced agent.
- Mr Chairman, this line of questioning...

And S.H.I.E.L.D. is still doing it.

Transmitting images now.

Hold on.

What the hell just happened?

What's this?

- Freeze! Stay right there.
- That's her, the fast one.

Leg cuffs go on her.

Radio it in.

Even as we speak, S.H.I.E.L.D. continues
to engage in illegal activity.

- That's not true. No.
- No?

General, moments ago,
my people apprehended

two S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives breaking
into my office.

Seems they were trying to install
surveillance equipment...

to spy on my staff and me.

Uh. There... there must be
some mistake here.

This Inhuman, Ms Rodriguez?

She signed the Sokovia Accords,
but now she's been caught red-handed

in a S.H.I.E.L.D. sanctioned operation
without UN approval,

just as S.H.I.E.L.D. did
with Agent Johnson.

It appears S.H.I.E.L.D. really
is a criminal organisation after all.

That conversation
does not look fun.

I have a feeling no conversation
with that woman is ever fun.

She knew we'd be there.
Not just any Inhuman.

- You specifically.
- There has to be a leak.

Yeah. There has to be.

- Well, we're all free to go.
- Because there's a catch, right?

- Well, maybe a slight...
- You're damn right there's a catch.

There's gonna be a full investigation,
starting with a Senate committee hearing.

They may even bring charges.

That's unlikely, so let's all just take
a beat...

Unlikely? They're gonna drag us
in front of every subcommittee,

- asking us who we are and what we do.
- This was the risk in going legit.

No, this was the risk in going
after Nadeer.

Couldn't have known she'd be ready for us.

Maybe if somebody had warned you first?

- Guys.
- No, you do this all the time, Phil.

I give you the benefit of my expertise,
and you just ignore it.

You're never up front with us, General.

You lied about Taiwan,
you lied to us about Jeffrey...

They kidnapped my son!

And I put Jeffrey in that position
because you have too damn much baggage

- to hold that position yourself.
- We have very different styles.

- We always have.
- And your style just gave the bad guy

all the ammunition she needs to go
after us.

- That's not how I see it.
- Really? How do you see it?

This move just exposed the fact
that we have a leak.

Someone tipped Nadeer off we were coming.

You opposed the op.

Did you warn her?

I believed in you when no one else did,
Phil.

No. I am not the leak.

S.H.I.E.L.D. only exists because of me.

And maybe that's a mistake.

Hello, Agent May.

Time to give this up, please.

No.

You'll have to kill me.

Very well.

But know that it will not make me happy.

- Oh, no.
- Hello, Agent May.

Congratulations.

You got further this time than your
previous attempts at this course.

What is this?

We call it the Framework.

Your journey to escape
Dr Radcliffe's lab,

our fight, all of this...

it's a simulation.

I assure you, you're safe.
We've moved you to another location.

You put this in my head.

Dr Radcliffe knew the best way to keep
you busy

was to give you something to fight.

- Something like you.
- Yes.

But this is the program's end.

We're coding more,
but we can't keep up with you.

You keep getting through it faster.

I'll wipe your memory
and send you through again.

You wipe my memory,
but I get better every time?

Yes. Memory traces.

So, I'm beating it.

And I'll get out eventually...

beat you.

In three, two, one...

Oh, dear. Not again.

I don't know what's going on,
but someone gave us up.

- The senator had inside information.
- I know. Details.

It's like Nadeer had eyes inside our...

our headquarters.

- Hey. J...
- You've been studying Aida

- even though you were ordered not to.
- Yeah, Jemma, okay...

I tried to give you a wide berth

because I knew you were worrying
it through, but this is an obsession.

- You turned it on, didn't you?
- It's not an obsession.

Fitz...

did you turn on Aida's ocular receptors?

Okay. Okay, yes.

I... I see where you're going
with this and you're not wrong...

We personally gave
Radcliffe Deathlok's eye technology.

- Aida has it inside her head, doesn't she?
- Yeah, but Jemma...

A camera, watching us this whole time.
Aida hacked our base.

Hell, it could've been broadcasting.
Nadeer knew the details of our mission.

No, that's impossible. I wasn't
in that briefing. Aida never saw that.

Why on earth would you do this?
You put us all at risk in a hundred ways.

Jemma. Jemma, please.
Just stop, okay? I have a working theory.

I wanted to help you get through
this obsession of yours,

- but if you continue to...
- It's not an obsession!

Jemma, it's an investigation.

What the hell did you do to me?

Answer me. What did you do?

- What tipped you off?
- Because I'm not an idiot. And I got hurt.

Oh, I was worried about injuries,
but there wasn't time to...

Tell me, how does it feel?
What's your reaction?

How does it feel?

How much of me is me?

Am I even me at all?

I assure you,
the real Melinda May is fine.

She's safe and healthy,
and under my protection.

I don't care about your assurances.

You had me spy on my own people.

Your own people! That's delightful.

Please, believe me, everyone is gonna
come out of this all right.

I don't know.

Once I tell Coulson,
it might be rough for you.

You're not telling Coulson.

Why not?

Because you have a mission.
Call it an instinct.

It'll kick in when it's time.

Till then, you won't be able to jeopardise
what you need to do.

What mission?

See, I sent you in unaware
so that you would seem more real.

I didn't want you distracted by such...
things.

You can't know when May's memories end
and my coding begins. It's all one.

You're wrong.

I know it's not easy to accept.

There's enough May in me
to do what has to be done.

You can't. Sorry.

It's programming.

That's why I won't tell Coulson who I am?

Did you program me so I can't tell anyone?

No.

I programmed you so you wouldn't want to.

There's no reason to resist.
You don't need to.

Why don't you simply...

do what you truly want?

What do you think I want?

Come now. We both know.

- You don't know me.
- Mm.

I've been inside your brain.
I know what you want, or, rather...

whom.

See? You do know.

I've seen the closeness between you.
It's always been there,

but you've been resisting that, too.
Why?

If only May... and you, for that matter...
could be happy.

Forget duty and honour and simply take
what you want.

You are who you are.

You're wrong.

I'm not.

But May has no time for happiness.

She's too busy fighting some fight

she's already lost in her past
long enough to enjoy...

Is that it?

Is that what May needs?

Get away from her.

- What's... Fi... Fitz, what's going on?
- You don't talk to him.

Did you think he wouldn't find out?

Fitz had a theory after Aida betrayed
us...

that it wasn't reading the Darkhold
that changed her.

That you programmed her to do it.
He was right.

Fitz, I can explain.

May? What are you doing here?

Something Fitz said got me thinking.
And then the leak.

Came to see what he knew.

And the truth came out.

Get him out of here.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- How'd the mission go?
- Not well.

- We could have used you.
- Uh...

- Well, I'm sure that...
- I'm tired of playing games, Mack.

Coulson said that if I wanted to know
where you went today,

I should ask, and he's right.

Um...

I went to see my ex.

I... I've been wanting to talk to you
about this, and...

- tell you about Hope.
- Hope.

- Mm-hm.
- All right.

- That's it, then.
- Elena, no...

I've been giving this a lot
of thought.

And you know, we go out to dinner,
and then you do nothing,

and then we do something,
and then you go away.

- Because I don't take this lightly.
- Look, Mack...

I like you.

You know that. But this...

I'm not a jealous woman.
I don't pry, I don't nag.

That's not me. That's a...

That's a cliché.

- And I refuse to be a cliché.
- Yes, I know.

So, if you want to be a man
that has secrets and goes off

and meets other women, that's fine.

But that's another cliché
I'm not interested in.

I love that you're not a cliché.

Hope was my daughter.

And she died.

- Oh, my God.
- No. It's... It's okay. It's...

It was 11 years ago.

My ex, Nicole...

we had a life planned together.

She got pregnant and we were happy.

But... when Hope was born, it was, uh...

it was touch and go...

and she only lived for four days.

Her story was over before it ever started.

- Mack, I didn't know.
- No, I know. I know.

But tomorrow's Hope's birthday.

And Nicole has a hard time with it.
That's why she texted me.

So, I went to see her
so she wouldn't be alone.

Maybe I wanted to spend a day
remembering Hope, also.

I've been wanting to tell you that
for a while.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Mack.

Long day. Drink.

Today wasn't great.

Cauliflower isn't great.

Today was a kick in the balls.

You know that won't be the end of it.

Nadeer busted us.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s on the ropes again.

- Talbot's pissed.
- Talbot's always pissed.

Yeah. But this time he has a point.

I was reckless.

- Why didn't I listen to him?
- You were protecting your people.

- Yeah, but...
- Reckless? Maybe.

Who cares?

Phil...

we are who we are.

Flaws and all.

And you're fine with that?

Yeah.

I am.

Fitz! Oh, Fitz,

this has all been a big misunderstanding.
You have to believe me.

- Things just got out of control.
- Yeah, they did.

You know, the whole time I was testing
my theory, looking into what you did...

Do you know what I wanted to find
more than anything?

- That I was wrong.
- I know...

Because you're my friend.

But it's a pattern.

I almost hoped this time it was
my paranoia.

I actually hoped I was paranoid.

But no.

- You've turned on everyone.
- No, no, Fitz,

I didn't want to hurt anyone.
I... I... I wanted to help everyone.

That... that's what this is about.
These people matter to me.

You've got a sociopathic way
of showing it.

- I don't bond well with actual people.
- You know that.

When you rescued me from Hive,
they were ready to lock me up.

- You believed in me. You stood by me.
- My mistake.

No, it wasn't.

You've been more than a friend.

- You've been like a son to me.
- Yeah, well...

- that's why this sucks.
- I get overeager, Fitz.

You know that.
But I meant well. I still do.

Talk to them, Fitz.
Help me explain it to them.

- You're mad.
- I wouldn't harm anyone.

My only goal is to preserve life.
My first priority, always.

Right.

Fitz. Fitz, no.

- Wait.
- I need to borrow that, please.

I... I still have feelings.
I still care about you, Fitz.

I've got to hand it to Radcliffe.
You certainly act like it.

I still care about you, Fitz.

I still care about you, Fitz.

I still care about you, Fitz.
Fitz.

Gonna need some assistance.

- Medical and engineering.
- Yes, sir.

Looks like you have a problem.

I knew this was coming.

I knew it the moment Aida failed
to get the Darkhold, I wasn't safe.

- So, I replaced myself.
- And that's when you first called me.

Seemed prudent, given how exposed
I'd become.

I said I needed your protection.
Now you can see why.

But I won't be the one protecting you.

You'll have to meet the Superior.

Fine. Whatever it takes.

How's our guest?
Didn't give you any lip, did she?

Not at all.

She's been a model patient,
even with the move.

- I tried the scenario you suggested.
- Uh-huh. A memory.

Well, an altered memory,
but there was enough for me to work with.

I'm easing her pain.

It's working even better
than the other programs.

May herself proved to be the key.

Peacefulness wasn't enough.
She'd keep fighting.

And fighting wasn't enough. She'd win.

But once I remembered that she was
fighting a fight she'd already lost...

all I had to do was change the fight...

take her back to Bahrain.

Did you see that move?
How did she take out that many people?

Had to have been 30 guys.

They're saying the mother was the one

who made everyone crazy with her powers.

- Agent May took them all on.
- The Cavalry went in after all.

Melinda?

I did it, Andrew.

Thank you.

I saved the girl.

Yeah.
