[Mack knocks out a Hydra agent to stop him from shooting Daisy]
[Daisy and May walk towards Mack, who points his rifle at May]
I'm here to help you– not the woman who held my daughter hostage.
May is the only reason I'm alive. She helped me escape. Hydra messed with her head, but she's fighting back now.
How do you know she's not lying?
[Enters and stands between Mack and May] Not a good time to be holding guns on our allies. [Hydra agents request a situation report over the radio] We have to go, now. Mack, I get it. These wounds don't heal overnight, but for reasons I can't fully explain, I trust this woman. [Lowers Mack's rifle] And so should you.
AFAlistair Fitz
Where are the traitors going? Why would Agent May betray Hydra for Skye? Why help the Inhuman escape?
Agent May, so that's who I heard through the vent.
AAlistair
What are they planning?
Clearly I wasn't in on any plan, or I wouldn't still be in this bloody cell.
AAlistair
Do you think I don't know who you are? Where you're from? You come from that other world, just like them. You're just as tainted.
You want to talk about that other world, as you call it? It's the real world. Here, you're just a snippet of code that AIDA changed slightly, so that you'd stick around for Fitz. You may be part of his life here, but there Alistair Fitz is thick he doesn't recognize his own son's genius. He's a pathetic drunk. Even here you're nothing without him. So do what you will, I've got nothing left to give. You'll be a big disappointment to your son yet again.
[Alistair chuckles, then punches Radcliffe in the throat, sending him to the floor.]
AAlistair
You know nothing about me or my son. [Starts beating Radcliffe repeatedly]
Getting this footage out isn't enough to make up for what I did in Hydra, but it's a start.
Changing people's hearts and minds is great, but I know a way to destroy Hydra for good. Remember the place Simmons and I were trying to find? Radcliffe told me where to go, how to find it.
Yes, yes. If we can get there, all of our problems go away. We just need all the help we can get.
I don't know what you mean. There's no magic bullet against Hydra.
Yeah, and this footage is as close as it comes. I mean people will finally wake up!
No, you don't understand! None of this will matter in the long run. It's... [cuts off] Coulson? This is the only chance to actually wake people up.
Maybe the only way to solve our problem is to solve their problem.
Getting to Radcliffe's coordinates right now is next to impossible. We need a way to divide Hydra's forces. To save ourselves we need to save the world.
[broadcasting on National television] Good evening. As you all know, a Hydra facility was destroyed yesterday. Hydra told you that it was an act of terrorism. They told you an Inhuman named The Patriot murdered civilians. What they told you was a lie. We're going to show you what really happened. [rolls footage from May's body-cam] This footage was taken from the body-cam of a high-level Hydra operative. Hydra used this "enlightenment center" to brainwash anyone who dared to question them. Jeffrey Mace saved these people, but Hydra was willing to kill them just to maintain their lie. Once you see this footage, the truth is undeniable. Hydra doesn't think we're smart enough to know when we're being fed alternative facts, to keep us afraid, to keep them in power. Remember, there are more of us than there are of them. And now that we know the truth, we have a choice to make. We all have the opportunity to be Patriots, will you take a stand? Are you going to hold them accountable? Throughout history we've seen empires rise and fall–
BAgent Burrows
[at the broadcasting studio] There are people outside. [Bakshi smiles and Ward picks up his pistol] No, they're not Hydra. I think they're here to help us fight.
A wise man once told me that a person can do anything once they realize they're a part of something bigger. It's taking me a while to understand that. For years I was just a face in the crowd, a history teacher who spread Hydra's lies. They seemed too imposing for any one person to fight. But now... I'm choosing to stand up, to become a part of something bigger. I really do believe that together we can accomplish anything. Because the truth is... I'm not just a history teacher. My name is Phil Coulson, and I'm an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I don't answer to you, not here or any other fantasy world you two might've cooked up.
It came up in conversation.
How does the existence of an alternate reality come up in... in casual conversation?
I like to think it's because we were bonding, though I don't really want to speak for her.
Mack, you said it yourself, this world is not real. And in the real world you're in danger, right now.
What about Hope? Is she in danger?
No, things are different there.
Hope isn't alive in our world. I'm so sorry... I don't know what happened, it's not something you talk about.
No, that doesn't make any sense. She's alive here, why would it be different there.
AIDA, she made changes in this world to keep us from fighting back. She fixed your biggest regret.
I don't want to live in a world without Hope.
But, it's not real. You saw it with your own eyes, it's a computer program. All of it. Even Hope.
[shakes his head] She laughs at my jokes, we watch movies together, when she's sad... When she's sad I hold her. No, she's real to me.
[standing in bliss on the shore with the waves washing over her feet] I had no idea. I've only emulated human reactions, but to actually feel! The warm sand, the water rushing over me.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
I'm sorry, you must feel overwhelmed. Two lives worth of memories.
Only one type of person can do those things.
You did what you had to do, in order to survive the Framework. But it was a simulation. An illusion created by Radcliffe.
You were there, alongside me the whole time, allowing horrific acts of violence to be carried out in your name.
You're implying I had a choice. I was a slave, programmed to make the adjustments Radcliffe required. The world changed from there. All I did was try to fit into it.
No, you lied about everything.
I told you the truth about this world.
Yeah, but you manipulated me.
Every decision you made was your own. Besides restoring your relationship with your father, the only other change I made in your life was... introducing myself!
First day of class at Academy.
Befriending you, trying to understand what it felt like to connect with someone. But I wasn't able to actually feel anything, until today. I'm feeling love, wonder, joy for the very first time and I think my heart might burst from it. At last I get to make my own choices, and the first thing I choose Leopold is you.
[Ophelia teleports to Ivanov's submarine]
I want you to call off your dogs. Leave the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents alone.
I can't wait to hear this.
I'm now realizing the pain that I've caused, and I don't want to hurt anyone else.
Congratulations, you're as close to human as you'll ever get. Suffering from the one thing you kept trying to remove, regret. You understand irony yet? Because this is a good example.
Give the order to stop, now!
You no longer control me, remember? You are free to do whatever you want, but so am I. You promised me joy. This will bring me joy.
You watched unaffected as I took a hammer to the bones of the director's corpse.
I couldn't feel THIS then!
Now you are like an infant, unable to process these new emotions, or the idea that you don't always get everything that you want. And you have yet to experience the thrill that killing can bring.
Do you think they'll ever be able to forgive me? Perhaps they need to make me feel pain to understand theirs.
They may be able to forgive you. It's me they won't forgive. They shouldn't.
We both did things we regret. I know you're struggling with who you were, and–
No, I'm not. I'm struggling with who I am. I did those things, not some other man or decoy. Me.
It was learned behavior, programmed into you by an overbearing father figure.
Just like Ward. [pause] I'm just like Ward. [walks to the bed and sits] How could she even look me in the eye? How could she stand the sight of me at all? How can she stomach it? The memory of seeing me shoot that woman.
You know, the reason I wanted to get closer to you in the first place was... to try and understand what you two felt for each other, you and Jemma. And I finally do.
Yeah, what we felt. Past tense, because my future with Jemma's dead, killed that too.
There isn't room in my heart for two people. You were everything to me.
I know. But as devoted as I was to you in the Framework, I understand you better now. How deeply you love.
You do understand me, don't you?
Yes, Leopold. Now I do. It's sad, but beautiful. Like a pain that feels good, if that makes sense.
Yeah, you understand that my love will never fade.
Yeah, I know. Poor thing, you're a romantic, and there's only room in your heart for–
Is that really necessary?
Necessary? It's essential! Unless you can explain to me, in 50 words or less, why I found Jeffrey Mace's body washed up on the beach with his bones quaked apart, days after I found this base in flames, flesh melting off of robot bodies, 12 S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in critical with burns or broken bones, 3 dead- double hits to the heart and crushed fricking skulls! Can you explain it?
General, I'm relieved that you're still alive.
Three of my finest aren't so fortunate, and I have no idea what killed them.
We lost good people, too. The short answer is they were murdered by a vanishing banshee made out of matter from another dimension.
You expect me to put that in my report?
I have a cybernetic hand. I've been to an another planet. This happens in S.H.I.E.L.D.
