S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Izel has conjured an image of Benson's late husband, Thomas]

I was driving. Then seeing something in the road. Then darkness.

An accident. I sat with you for days, hoping you would wake up.

I know.

What?

I heard every word that you said.

EElena

It's a lie, Benson!

Don't listen to it! It's not real!

When the doctor came in and said I was beyond helping, I heard that.

No.

When my dad and sister begged you to hold on longer, I heard that, too.

You were brain-dead.

I heard you say goodbye. I felt your hand on mine. You were so close, I could smell the liquor on your breath.

No, Thomas. I I-I didn't.

How much were you drinking that night?

Do you really think you can beat me?

Yes. This time, I'll actually kill you.

Go ahead. It'd be easier than doing it myself. Come on! What are you waiting for?! Do it! Kill me, Skye! If it works on me, it'll work on her. But you have to do it now, before I get any stronger.

Wait...

You can't wait. Don't you understand? It's all coming back to me. The memories, the pain. Her song ringing through every bone in my body.

What memories?

It's too late for that. I'll lose control. I could kill everyone here. End it!

I can't do it.

You've always been capable of more than you think. Now do it. Do it! Do it.

You were gonna sacrifice yourself. It's what Coulson would've done.

Maybe we could hyper-stimulate our brains with some sort of chemical, and that way, if she [Izel] possesses us, she won't be able to put us into an unconscious state.

You're suggesting we all take amphetamines.

Yeah. Yeah, okay, fine. I can see how that would be counterproductive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And we've already faced that fear. We're still here.

You kept it in check when Daisy spoke to you. Whatever she did got you thinking straight.

There's no thought. Only the rage. And if I see Izel...

You'll defeat her. You let the rage out. Then let the other part of you rein it in.

It's not as simple as you make it sound.

That's why I'll be there. To remind you.

You copied tech that you never understood in the first place, and now we've got bugger-all to show for it!

We've got bugger lots. We are close.

[To Simmons] You said our grandson was a delight.

He's a work in progress.

Oh, you know what? You are just jealous that I came up with the big solve.

No B.S. Foundation can hide the fact that you built this company not to advance science but to get rich!

I built this company because no one liked me!

Deke, he didn't mean...

Yes, he did. I built it because I've never belonged anywhere, because the place that I'm from doesn't even exist anymore and because all of my friends are gone. And the woman that I gave lemons to thinks that I'm a loser, so I went out into the world to try and be what everybody wants me to be, and she still thinks that I'm nothing! And my best friend turned out to be a spy, and my girlfriend turned out to be a psychopath.

Snowflake was not good for you.

I was talking about Sequoia. Oh. I mean, the family that I do have wants nothing to do with me.

Deke, we care about you. We do.

You say that and you try to be nice, but you didn't even want me to know that Fitz died.

I wanted to spare you the pain.

But I could've shared that with you. I could've helped. Even my own grandparents think I'm a joke.

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.

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!

He is not the devil.

We don't know what he is.

[To Sarge] Don't let that thing inside you take control. There is good in you. Look at me!

Your friend doesn't know when to quit. Tell me. What do you feel?

Anger. And fear. Fear of this pain that's been a knife in my heart for so long.

That's love. That pain is love. I know because I was afraid of it, too. But you let me feel it. You gave that gift to me. You pulled me out of that cubicle. You gave me purpose, a crew. Remember me. Remember us: Daisy and Mack and Yo-Yo, Fitz and Simmons. You love us.

You're right. It's love. The pain is love.

Yes.

And now I know how to end it. To cut it out of me. Slice it away and be done with it. [Stabs May with a sword and shoves her through the portal] How's that for a sign?

[Enoch, disguised as Isaiah, has just rescued Fitz and Simmons from two Chronicom hunters]

Sorry. This must be confusing, best friend. But I had to take bold action.

Enoch?

I found that bluffing was much easier if you kill someone and take their skin. There is a second wave of Hunters coming. I have a strategy that will save your lives and the lives of your fellow Agents, but, unfortunately, time is of the essence. We must act now.

Yeah, of course. What?

This will be the hardest thing you have ever done.

I doubt that.

Nothing's ever easy with you, is it?

What do we have to do?

[Dramatically] Change the natural course of your lives forever.

[They have heard this before.]

Oh, that again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I see you discovered life and death are meaningless in this realm, which is why we find it so curious that you cling to one and dread the other. I sang my song. Connected our worlds. Now I will open the door to this temple so our kind can pass through, find a voice of their own.

Humans will fight back. Always do.

Agent Shaw, you got your orders.

Stay here and take out any zombies while you go Quake Sarge back to whatever planet he was barfed out on.

You sure you can handle the gunplay?

Oh, he's been practicing his shooting. You should see his video game.

Why continue?

Let me guess surrender and we'll never suffer again.

Oh, no. I'll make sure you do. I'll handpick the spirits to take you, to use your flesh, to ravage your insides. Every waking moment, a battle will rage within you.

[Simmons has brought Mack, Daisy, Yo-Yo, Deke, and a comatose May onto Zephyr One. They realize that they had jumped to 1931]

I would say I need a drink but those are illegal now, aren't they?

Are there any other bombshells you want to drop, Agent Simmons?

Yes. There is one. We have a problem that Fitz and I could not solve, but Enoch provided a possible solution. The Chronicom Hunters have Fury's Black Box as well as centuries of anthropological research to pull from. Our team needs an expert in S.H.I.E.L.D. history to have a chance of stopping them, to even know what the Hunters might target. I would ask May her opinion, but she's out of commission for the time being. The rest of us could vote, but truthfully, this decision should be left up to him. And he has already voiced his opposition to anything like this. He has all of his own memories and has been upgraded with complete knowledge of everything he's missed. He has Chronicom hardware, which makes him our most advanced LMD. And there is no better person to be your right hand, sir.

Simmons...

I was deeply against it at first but the more I thought about it, the more I think he'd understand. I believe it's the right thing to do. And frankly, I miss him. So what do you think?

He would want us to consider the ramifications.

[Daisy presses a button. A door opens revealing an LMD of Coulson]

Hey, guys.

[The team find themselves in 1931 New York]

Navigating the past happens to be my specialty.

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.
