In this episode: Dean Winchester (940), Damon Salvatore (715), Sam Winchester (665), Olivia Benson (637), Stephen Fry (608), Narrator (554), Clark Kent (523), Nate (486)

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.

That's what I'm worried about. The butterfly effect. Just us being here, walking down the street, we could've already changed the course of events.

Yeah, the butterfly effect is just one aspect of the multiverse branch theory. Personally, I subscribe to the Time-Stream idea.

Let me guess. That's the one that lets you do whatever you want.

Okay. Imagine time as a stream, right? And we were sticks that were thrown into it. The water, it... it moves us... it moves around us.

But it ends up in the same place.

Right. Now, too many sticks thrown in and that will create what's called a dam, and... and that'll change the direction of the water forever, and that's bad. So as long as we can avoid that, we should be able to splash around a little bit and we're all good.

Okay, I know where this is going. Agent Shaw, you will not be filing any patents. Is that understood?

[The team is posing as members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police]

PPolice Officer

What's a gal like you doing trying to be a Mountie? Can't you find a husband?

Okay. Yeah, I mean, I wish that I could hold on to a husband. But for some reason, they just end up with broken ribs whenever they give me lip. Now move, or a gal like me will knock out a guy like you in front of people like them.

CCain

Time. You will never comprehend its true nature. Our anthropologists have studied Earth for thousands of years. To speak in metaphor, we know the exact thread to pull at the exact moment to unravel S.H.I.E.L.D... forever.

The new gang. They're after Freddy.

EHErnest Hazard Koenig

Oh, applesauce. He's a nobody.

He's a target. Give me a reason.

They're not after his dad's money. When old man Malick jumped out that window, his debts were paid.

What did you just call him?

His full name. What is it?

Wilfred Malick. Why?

Wilfred Malick. As in father of Gideon Malick? Future head of Hydra in America?

If the Chronicoms kill Malick, then Hydra is stamped out before it ever takes hold and S.H.I.E.L.D. is never formed.

So you're saying, to save S.H.I.E.L.D...

We have to save Hydra.

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.

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...

Has no heart.

[Simmons wants to run tests on a drop of green liquid that she found]

I need some alcohol. 90 proof or better.

I like the way this bird sings.

I'm a biochemist, not a bird. I also need some salt, some cork, something made with silver. Let's hope it's not what I fear.

[After testing]

I know what it is. By heating the compound inside an alcohol-based solution, I was able to produce a decomposition reaction, separating and isolating...

Whoa, cut... cut... cut to the chase. I'd like to get this package before Christmas.

The compound is part of a formula that first appeared in Germany during World War II.

D... During World War II? I think you're half-cocked from the moonshine.

It was synthesized by a German scientist named Abraham Erskine.

I don't like where this is going.

And first used by a man named Johann Schmidt.

The Red Skull.

Freddy Malick is about to deliver the key ingredient used to create the Super Soldier Serum.

You give a name like that to your juice, it better have a helluva kick.

You have no idea.
