SimmonsSo, you're Hydra, and you've been protecting Skye?
Yeah. That's why I joined the Resistance.
SimmonsOh, always the double agent. [to Daisy] And this is who you woke up with? You two were together? Oh, this isn't the Framework. This is Hell.

SimmonsSo, you're Hydra, and you've been protecting Skye?
Yeah. That's why I joined the Resistance.
SimmonsOh, always the double agent. [to Daisy] And this is who you woke up with? You two were together? Oh, this isn't the Framework. This is Hell.
SimmonsYou're not crazy!
I live alone and make my own soap.
SimmonsIt's quaint. Hipster, even!
[Confused] "A team that trusts is a team that triumphs"? [Chuckles] That's– That's a little cheesy.
SimmonsYou had t-shirts made, coffee mugs. I realize how it sounds. No one wants to hear they're just an avatar in a digital prison, but sometimes that happens and here we are.
SimmonsWhat are you smiling at?
Same thing you are. Big fake dad loving his little fake kid, in this crazy, fake world. I finally get why you don't like me, you think I'm someone I'm not.
SimmonsForget I said anything, you don't believe me. And I, can't really look at you.
Wow, what did I do, in this other reality? Did I hurt someone? Did I kill someone?
SimmonsMore than one.
For what it's worth, for whatever I did do, I'm truly sorry. Look at them, you feel that, don't you? The way he loves his kid?
SimmonsOf course.
Well doesn't that make it real?
[May enters a collapsing building to confirm Mace's death. Coming around the stairs, she sees children and aims her weapon at them.]
Wait, don't shoot! They need help up there!
[Lowers her weapon and talks on comms] This is Agent May, there are kids in here. Why the hell are there kids in here? [Enters room where Coulson, Mace, and more children are] Where's the Patriot?
Put that gun down! We need help here, there's a kid buried under that pile of rock.
It's coming down!
SimmonsNo, it's coming up.
[Lifts up giant pieces of rubble] Get him out.
Nobody move!
Are you insane? He's trying to save a kid!
So was I.
Agent May, he's the only thing keeping this building from falling down on all of us. You shoot him, we all die.
We don't have time for this, we've gotta save that kid. Form a team, find something to pop up that beam. Either shoot us or help, but don't just stand there. Snap out of it, May!
Wake up! There is no back door, just like she's not Moses about to take you to the Promised Land.
That's it. What if I quake that thing?
SimmonsAnd part the Red Sea.
They did not just go and use the Bible against me.
The good news is that Talbot is alive, he's in a coma, but alive.
The bad news is they know we're here and they're on their way.
Yeah, you should go while you can.
Yeah, we're all going.
Nah, I'm gonna stay. This is my fault, AIDA, the LMDs, all the deaths. Those aren't on S.H.I.E.L.D., those are on me. And I can explain that I built the LMD that shot Talbot, that way–
Fitz! We were all in the Framework together, we understand how confusing and screwed up that world is. And trust me, it's gonna take me years to process everything that happened in there. But the one thing that I don't need time to understand is that we are all in this together. I tried to take the blame for everything not too long ago. I dyed my hair, I ran away. I thought that separating myself from the team would help me protect it, but in truth I kind of just lost myself. And you, you were the one who pulled me back in. This is not on you, okay? We all lost ourselves in there. And yeah, it might take you a long time to forgive yourself, but speaking on behalf of the team: you have nothing to apologize for.
If there's a price to pay, we pay it, together.
SimmonsI'm in.
Look, I'm just saying, what good is it having a state-of-the robotic hand if you don't have it on you when your kidnapped by Martians?
Looks like he's got both hands to me.
Ah, that's his civvy hand. It's just a prosthetic without all the cool doodads. It should've been a hook. At least you can stab things with a hook.
Thought I was gonna be arrested.
So, wait, that one doesn't have a blowtorch or the laser gun or anything?
First of all, I'm not Inspector Gadget. And second of all, the authorities would've confiscated it. Prison's bad enough without being down an appendage.
First rule of Boy Scouts is always come prepared.
SimmonsHow were we supposed to be prepared for this, Mack?
I don't know, we gotta be prepared for everything, apparently. Look, not a day ago, I was trapped inside a-a computer-generated mind prison, and now... You know what? You know what, Coulson? I'm out. I'm out. We get through this, I am packing it in.
Sorry, Mack. You already quit years ago.
Yeah, well, I didn't quit hard enough. Look, I'm not comfortable at the pace at which we deal with new trials and tribulations.
SimmonsFury never said anything about deep space outposts being developed, did he?
There was nothing like this in his black box.
So, wait, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have a space division called S.P.E.A.R. or something?
[nods no]
Really? I always thought you guys had people hiding on the moon.
SimmonsAgain, let's not postulate. Let's apply scientific principles and consider the evidence we have.
Look, this is magic, okay? Can we all agree this is magic at play?
SimmonsMagic is just science we don't understand yet.
Ah, please. We just got zapped through space by Stonehenge, and we're trying to rule out a flaming-headed demon from east L.A.? Science my ass.
So we'll have to find our own way back.
SimmonsWell, I'm a biologist, but sure I can invent time travel. Just give me a minute.
How is Fitz even here?
SimmonsI don't know! He just showed up out of nowhere with his own spaceship.
It's a baller move. Not to mention the whole bounty-hunter look he's rocking.
SimmonsI still prefer him in cardigans.
Do you have any idea what he's planning?
SimmonsYeah, I'm not sure, actually. We haven't had a moment to speak, though it would seem he's here to purchase us.
What if it doesn't work?
SimmonsI have a knife. [Shows Daisy a butter knife.]
We can do better.
SimmonsWell, there was limited cutlery to choose from.
I'm never leaving you again.
[They kiss. Fitz ICEs Sinara.]
SimmonsThen marry me, Fitz.
Absolutely.
SimmonsOkay, come on.
Also, um, just to say, I did propose earlier, when Kasius had your hearing turned off.
Simmons[sarcastically] Oh, of course you did.
No, I... Seriously, I did.
I have a ship. We get there, then comes the plan. Hey, how's your head?
I'll tell you when the ringing stops. By the way, "fight to the death"? Really?
Yeah, well, I had to make a splashy entrance.
Yeah, well, you could have jumped in the octagon yourself, then.
Well, wouldn't be fair. I do push-ups now. Double digits.
SimmonsYou have no idea how good it is to see you. You're here... with a spaceship. Seems impossible.
Nothing is impossible anymore.
SimmonsFull story later.
Yeah, there will be pints.
SimmonsThere will be gin.
Well, it's convenient, you showing up right now.
Convenient? No, it's mind-blowing I managed to escape my room after Coulson welded the door shut. I had to crack a window. A lot of my personal valuables are now floating around space, thanks very much, everybody.
What? This story's supposed to make me feel better, that Coulson locked you up?
We were working out our differences, all right? I don't have time to get into this.
Can we discuss this after we're out of the line of fire?
Yes, thank you, this guy. Now please follow me. We go up the service shafts. It'll lead us right onto the trawler.
No, no, no, no. This is the guy that sold me to Kasius.
SimmonsOh. Kill him. He's a snake.
I'm gonna cut his throat open.
I'm a pragmatist, all right? Just lis... just listen. I told you that I would lead you to your friend. There she is. And I stopped you from doing something drastic that would have gotten people killed in the process. [Notices a wounded Fitz.] Though you don't look great.
Thank you.
