You ever hear the name, uh, "Izel"? Keeps popping up in his research. Something from Incan mythology.
Oh, right. So, because I'm from South America, I must know something about Incan mythology? I'm Catholic, Mack.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Well, so there was actually three monoliths, but they were destroyed. I thought it better not to mention anything before we arrive back on Earth.
How did they get on the base? And how were they destroyed?
It's complicated, but they created these anomalies. But it did provide us with a beautiful wedding venue.
Guess I had to be there.
You were, and you were dashing.
Oh, yeah, and brave, and I sacrificed myself for the lives of others. Well, looks like you married Mr. Perfect, doesn't it?
Are you jealous of yourself?
Yep. Yes, I am. 'Cause he'll always be your first husband. I'm only ever gonna be the replacement.
You do realize how ridiculous this sounds?
Yep, absolutely. [Pause] Have fun on your wedding night?
Ohh! It was wonderful. I mean, obviously, you know, it will be nothing compared to the second time.
What? I wasn't enough the first time?
What's her [Izel's] motive?
Hatred. For all living things.
What's yours?
Love. [Pause] No, it's hate. That's my thing, too. Hate and revenge. She took my family from me. I won't stop until she pays for that.
Well, if she's that powerful, how can you kill her?
There's only one way to kill the beast. [Holds a sword]
A galaxy hopping hate-beast that eats planets, and you want to defeat her with a, um, sword?
It's sharp. Feel it.
[Later]
Well, Benson gave us some information that might help us understand her. Has Sarge shared how he plans to take her out?
It's unclear but it may or may not involve a magical sword.
Where is it?
Where's what?
The bomb. Mack's on the phone. He wants to talk. Your boy Pax squealed.
Yes, tell him he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. Did he tell you what kind of bomb?
One that'll leave a crater 200 miles wide.
Well, I don't know miles, but if that's a lot, then yeah, that kind of bomb. I told you I had an insurance policy.
You're not gonna use it.
I am. You were right. Swords just don't cut it. I'm not taking any chances. When Izel lands, I'm gonna blow her, her ship, and her black tower of death into oblivion.
We're just outside a city. You'd kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people along with her.
A small price to pay for saving your planet and countless others. Now, we need to get on the same page and get off this truck before we become part of that small price.
I can't wait to kill you.
Are you sure?
Dead certain.
Tell me why is that?
Because you robbed me of my family, the woman I love, my home. And then you took the one thing I had left, my memories of them.
It's not that I stole your memories, Sarge. It's that you never had any to begin with.

[After seeing Daisy use her powers] Are all the females on your planet this powerful?
They are.
[Hiding from Izel and her crew]
That sounds like S.H.I.E.L.D.
I've never been so happy to hear live ammunition.
All right, everyone. A toast. To those of you who've served since the very beginning. And to those whose journeys have just begun. To the agents we've lost in the line of duty. As well as those who have somehow returned. And to those who stand by us at our best and at our worst. Because without every single one of you, there is no S.H.I.E.L.D.
[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...
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...
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.
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.
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]
[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.
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.]
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.
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.
It's not?
No, it's not. She told me.
There's one day every year where I miss him more.
Your mother's birthday.
That's May.
She's good, too.
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 are you.
[Still testing memories]
When we were on Krylor, you took something.
You knew about that?
I was running that mission. I knew everything. Also, you're not smooth like, at all.
I stole a pen.
A pen?
A space pen. I thought it was cool. Aliens write things down. I did not know that.
He's clear. And also ridiculous.
When the monoliths exploded, it opened this Fear Dimension. I fought a Kree, and I saw my mother, which was horrible, and you got married in a forest a few floors down. That was nice. The other you.
It actually manifested living things? Flesh and blood?
Yes. Coulson went in, sealed it up.
Maybe it wasn't a dimension. Izel said the monoliths had the power to create. Now, we know that one monolith was "space", another was "time". What if the third one was "creation"?
That's where our fears came from?
Yeah, think about it. The physical stones blew apart. That doesn't... It doesn't mean...
...Doesn't mean that the energy went away. It could... The light could just be uncontained monolith energy.
Exactly. Exactly. We're looking for a link. That could be it.
O-Okay, so you're saying that, when Coulson went in there with it...
It's possible that the three energies combined to create another Coulson through space and time on some other planet years ago. And he was left there when our Coulson sealed the Gravitonium device.
If that's true, he doesn't know it.
Just saying, the other you thought it was a Fear Dimension.
Yeah, well, he wasn't the smart one.
[Sarge is shooting Izel to no effect]
I know you're trying to hurt me. If it makes you feel any better, you are. Perhaps not in the way you intend, but it still hurts. Even so, it won't end me. And you don't even want that.
Of course I do. The same way you want to kill me.
Kill you? Oh, my poor dear. If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead. I was trying to wake you up.
Oh, I'm awake. I'm awake enough to remember the people I loved, the family I had, and how it felt when you took them from me.
It's not true.
You're saying you didn't kill them?
I'm saying you didn't have a family. Those memories, they aren't yours.
That makes no sense!
Then how did I kill them? You can't recall because it didn't happen. The family isn't yours. It's a holdover, an echo from the man whose body you inhabit.
No, I don't understand.
I'm only beginning to fully understand myself. I always wondered how you got this form and where it came from. But now, in this place, they recognize that face here. Don't you see? The monoliths created your body, sent it back through time and space, back home to our realm. A planet where we have no form and yearn for it. This human body arrived. It had form. You took it over and lost yourself, lost me. And in return, you got everything that comes with this unwilling vessel.
There was a reason you rushed off to space last year.
I went with you to find Fitz.
We both know it wasn't just that. You have a pattern. It happened after you got your powers. After Lincoln, you walked away.
That has nothing to do with this.
Everything around here reminded you of Coulson, so you left. You didn't want to face it.
