Yo-YoStop making me the bad guy. I'm not. You just don't want him to die.
Yo-Yo
I don't want him to die, either, but he's just one man.
[Stops Daisy before she can start forward] No, no! None of that. Think about what you're doing here.
Yo-Yo
You won't listen. I'm in a nightmare, and I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, and none of you can hear me!
Yo-Yo
Well, you won't listen! You all saw what happened, and none of you will help me stop this! I'm alone, and even you, even you won't help me.
No, you're not alone. We're in this with you, but we need to hold it together.
Yo-Yo
There's nothing holding us together.
Yes, there is! Hope. We never give up. We're always held together by hope.
Remember how good it felt to walk in here when we first got back? The Zephyr has been the one place we've been able to call home these last few years.
I'll always miss the Bus.
Yo-Yo
I wish I would've known you guys back then.
We were different people back then.
I spent a lot of years– Sorry. I've lived a life– surrounded by heroes. None bigger than all of you. Since the day you joined, same as anyone in the line of duty– heroes, because you– because we sign up to lose each other. To get close to good people– and have them taken away. We've all suffered losses. Never lose sight of that.
I never forget those we've lost.
Yeah. That's why we're putting that badge up in the cockpit. To never forget.
You don't have to forget. But you have to move on.
No. With respect, sir, you're wrong. We don't move on. We hold that place in our heart, we close it off, we lock the door, we visit from time to time, but we don't move on. Even after we say goodbye.
You forgot to mention the fact that your former boss had died and come back to life before.
Are you sure? This LMD theory's not panning out. LMDs don't have DNA.
Yo-Yo
We didn't bring him back to life trust me. That was a hot topic.
Well, maybe he never died in the first place. You love secrets, Melinda. Anything you want to share?
I was there until the very end. He's gone. You have no right to question that. Find me a way to kill that thing out there pretending to be him. And if that's too hard, you know your way back to the bar.
That sounds nice right about now. And good luck sorting out this evidence alone.
Okay, that's enough. Now, is this the DNA you're talking about?
Yeah. This is a sample from the convenience store. At first, I thought it was alien radiation markers I've never seen, foreign methyl groups. Strip that all away, and what you have left is a 100-percent match for Phillip J. Coulson.
Yo-Yo
So, you and Mack, in his office.
Yo-Yo
You told him. I wish you would have talked to me about it.
KKeller
If it makes you feel better, he didn't exactly let me finish.
Yo-Yo
He doesn't want to know so he doesn't have to put us on different missions.
KKeller
I'm sure that's part of it, but... It's just, I also got the sense that he isn't over you.
Yo-Yo
Why would you tell me that?
KKeller
You should know how he feels before or if we... You should know. But to be clear, I'm in. I will fight for you if I have to. Not fight-fight—Mack terrifies me—but more emotionally fight.
Yo-Yo
Ugh. Always acting so noble.
KKeller
I think you like that act.
Yo-Yo
I've made hard choices before. Being right doesn't stop it from feeling wrong.
I know what you mean. Two years back, I got a call. Car crash.
Yo-Yo
Your husband?
Brain-dead, machines breathing for him. Tom didn't want that. His family fought me on it, but after a few days, I had them turn off the ventilator. They never will forgive me. It's the hardest choice I've ever made, but I took comfort in knowing it was the right one. And so should you.
Yo-Yo
Prisoners give you any trouble?
Well, the big man [Jaco] seemed content on breathing his home planet's air, but the, uh the twitchy dude [Pax] wasn't too thrilled to find out, uh, we were tracking Sarge.
Yo-Yo
That's the first time I've ever heard you say that.
Yo-Yo
Call somebody a "big man".
I'm not used to going up against giants.
Yo-Yo
Well, now you know how the rest of us feel when we're talking to you. It involves a lot of looking up.
You know, I don't feel like a lot of people have been looking up to me lately.
Yo-Yo
You can't let Sarge get to you, Mack. Everybody at S.H.I.E.L.D. believes in you.
Wish I could say the same.
You ever hear the name, uh, "Izel"? Keeps popping up in his research. Something from Incan mythology.
Yo-Yo
Oh, right. So, because I'm from South America, I must know something about Incan mythology? I'm Catholic, Mack.
[In Yo-Yo's quarters]
Uh, yeah, it's, uh, I don't mean to keep you up. It's just, uh, I have a few things that, uh, I want to say, that I've wanted to say. But, you know, I-I can, um, I can be slow sometimes, so...
Yo-Yo
How many beers have you had?
N-No, it's, it's not that. It's, uh, t-there are, um, situations that, uh, will, um, will get complicated, no matter how hard you try to...
Yo-Yo
Mack. Today, we survived. It's been a good night. Let's not...
I screwed up. With you. I screwed up. We've been through hell and back, both of us. And I figured if, if I could get you off my mind, then that would help me be a better Director. You know, clear-headed, even-handed.
Yo-Yo
And did it?
I don't know, 'cause you're always on my mind. And today, when they took over Z1 and you weren't there, I never for a moment worried you weren't safe. In fact, I knew you would be.
Yo-Yo
I always told you not to worry about me.
I know. And you were right. I'm not asking for forgiveness now. Just, uh, just a chance to earn it. Eventually. All right, um, Good night. [Goes to leave]
Yo-Yo
[Uses her power to shut the door before Mack leaves] We can take it slow.
Did you, by any chance, see May in the corridor?
Oh. Yeah. After I blacked out, she was the first thing I saw when I came to, so I was in bad shape. She was cool about it, sweet, really.
Yo-Yo
Melinda May was "sweet?" Is there a different meaning for that word?
She said I looked like I was having trouble, couldn't argue with that, and I had to go rest. And yeah, now that I hear it out loud, she usually is more gruff.
[The team realizes that Izel can possess people but cannot access their memories.]
Yo-Yo
So everybody just needs to share a secret that she wouldn't know. The more private, the better.
Right, but it has to be something that one other person can confirm.
Yeah. We'll clear everyone here first, then everyone else in the base. It's the best plan so far.
Yo-Yo
Okay. I'll go first. Um, I, uh, tell people that the only time I miss Pitosí is during Christmas, but that's not exactly true.
No, it's not. She told me.
Yo-Yo
There's one day every year where I miss him more.
Yo-Yo
That's May.
Okay, um Daisy anonymously sends part of her S.H.I.E.L.D. salary to someone every month.
Amanda Campbell, Lincoln's sister. Mack's clear.
So far, your doomsday ritual is a bit underwhelming.
This temple was built from the same stone as the Di'Allas. When they all resonate in harmony, they'll open a gateway to my home.
Yo-Yo
So you can go back there and never bother us again?
My family will come through and take over the Shrike hosts spread across the galaxy.
If it were that easy, you would've done it already.
True. With the Di'Allas destroyed, there isn't a way to complete the ritual. We must rebuild them.
Yo-Yo
That sounds like a you problem. And maybe you shouldn't tell us your bad-guy plans. That always happens right before the bad guy dies.
I'm telling you the problem because you're going to solve it for me. The three monoliths, as you call them you've seen them intact. You know what I can do with them. So your minds are going to create them for me.
But you can't do it yourself. That's why you need us.
I've already shown you that humans are incapable of controlling their fears.
Yo-Yo
But we're not afraid of you.
Our worst fears have nothing to do with you or the damn monoliths. It has to do with losing the people we love.
Yo-Yo
And we've already faced that fear. We're still here.
I know for a fact that he's the only one that can kill Izel.
Oh, let me guess, he tell you that?
Look, Sarge started to remember who he really is. And you would've seen it for yourself if you didn't volunteer to be kidnapped.
Yo-Yo
Do we really have to do this right now?
You really think this man is Coulson?
Maybe not all of him, but he remembered my name. He called me "Skye." How would he have known that?
Because that's what they do! I went to enough Sunday School to learn that when the devil shows up, he'll be wearing the face of someone you trust! He'll make you question everything you see and everything you know!
We don't know what he is.
[The team find themselves in 1931 New York]
Navigating the past happens to be my specialty.
Yo-Yo
Last time, you got stupid drunk and ended up in jail.
That's not true. I was pleasantly drunk. It was hilarious.
He'll be fine. It's Prohibition, so alcohol's illegal anyway.
It's what? Who would think that's a good idea? Even the Kree let us make our own boot juice.
If Hydra doesn't form, then S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't form in response.
Well, because it doesn't have to. I mean, think about all the future lives we'll save if there's no Freddy Malick.
We can't disrupt the timeline. If we take out Malick, something even worse could rise up in his place.
But then we'll just deal with it when we get back, right?
To a future we won't recognize... Killing Malick was the Chronicoms' intent. They do know the consequences.
And we'll only know what happens if he lives. None of this is pretty.
Yo-Yo
But why does it have to be a live-or-die situation? Can't we stay here awhile, uh, be a good influence for him, change his heart?
Technically, that would still be killing the historic Malick, who...
