Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Previously on Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."...

I got another glimpse... into the future.

I don't know when... but someone on our team is gonna die.

Keep the faith, Alphonso Mackenzie.

Your friends are very persistent. They keep fighting us.

If it happens again, there'll be no absolution.

Every Inhuman is here for a reason and serves a purpose.

Now you're free.

Ragtag base, I'm coming home.

Hive could create an all-in-one virus

that instantly transforms any humans

into swayed Inhumans completely under his control.

If he finds a way to disperse it high enough in the atmosphere.

He could potentially infect a significant percentage of the human race.

He has a way. He stole a fully operational warhead.

How long do you think we can survive in here?

We're the last ones.

You always find a way to survive, don't you?

It's in our blood.

I knew someone was gonna go.

I just didn't know everyone would.

Once I connect the wires, I can hack the controls on the module

- and finally pilot us back to Earth. - Daisy...

...this is Earth.

The kill switches to our vests, if it comes to it.

How we holding up?

Not sure. It wasn't designed for this.

I've told you everything I know.

I'm here to provide progress updates

based on the intel you gave us ... nothing more.

And they only send you. Why?

If anything I tell you jogs any memories,

any pertinent information at all, I'll ask you to divulge.

It's because you're the only one I didn't hurt ...

personally, I mean. That's why.

Have you thought of any new pertinent information?

As I said, Hive's followers tell him everything,

but he rarely returns the favor.

I'm sorry that's not enough to act on.

Well, we are acting on a new lead.

We've located a U.S. missile silo in the Pacific.

Seems like a good fit.

If that's where they plan to do it, they'll be there ahead of you.

Yes. The silo's staff went silent five hours ago.

Sir, the warhead is in place, and the missile is armed.

The man who starts the launch sequence ...

is he willing to cooperate?

Yep. Turned out to be a real team player.

What about S.H.I.E.L.D.? I've warned you about cloaking.

And we've calibrated for it.

If they fly anywhere near this island, we'll see it.

Very good.

We're looking for the freight dock on the North side.

Even if you infiltrate, you can't shut down the launch ...

not without government Kill Codes.

- We are aware. - Hand-delivered by a D.O.D. official.

- It's not hackable. You won't be ... - We are aware.

I'm sorry. The answer is no.

I'm asking you for one Missile Launch Kill Code, General.

Violating chain of command.

"Chain of command." Chain of command's gonna take two weeks.

You like to cut red tape. I get it.

But procedures are in place for a reason.

You'd say the same thing.

I don't even hold Kill Codes here at the D.O.D., Glenn.

They're held at the Defense Logistics Building,

and I need an Arms Nullification order

before I can request them from Undersecretary Thomas.

Okay, fine. Red tape it is.

Defense Logistics Building. Did you get that, sir?

Copy that.

The team's just got to secure that uplink in time.

All right, here. This is us.

- Now, look, none of this works unless you ... - We'll get the uplink.

Coulson's just got to get those codes in time.

Okay.

- You sure this is gonna work? - Nope.

Many men on the Moon. The ... maaaaah.

Stop it.

Andaz is an inch taller than I am.

Undersecretary Thomas,

thank you for getting back to us so quickly.

General Talbot. General Andaz.

Yes, Undersecretary Thomas.

I have an Arms Nullification order,

and I need you to provide the Kill Codes for ...

The code must be provided in person.

I have a high-level ATCU agent waiting outside right now.

He's acting under my authority.

I'll need his credentials.

Oh, he has them. You bet.

Okay.

Launch sequence has begun, sir.

- Undersecretary Thomas? - Very good.

We're in. Uplink's established.

Daisy's intel panned out.

- We got security feeds, too. - Yeah, bonus.

Every time I see his face, I want to punch something.

They've got us the uplink. Ready, sir.

Did you get it? Read it out to me.

Okay. It's ... Oh.

We are at 20 seconds. Give me the code, sir.

Okay, try to keep up.

Bravo. 5. Hotel. 9. Mike. 1. Charlie. 1.

3-4-2-0-0-9. Sierra. Tango.

1-3-5. Sierra. Whiskey. 0-1-2-0-0-9.

Come on. Come on.

The only thing you gave us that didn't pan out was that word.

You said he mentioned "absolution." Any idea what he meant?

He thinks he's the savior.

Someone shut us down.

That can only be done within the building.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Again.

Fix this. Bypass this override!

Me? W-What ... What can I do?

I'm not a-a flight systems engineer.

No, you're not.

So the only thing that's left to decide

is whether to add your mind to my current collection...

or just consume your flesh.

No, I-I can handle it. I'll fix it, I swear.

Please, don't... do those things.

You two, escort Dr. Radcliffe to the missile silo...

...while I show S.H.I.E.L.D. something they haven't seen from me yet.

Rage.

Start searching on the main floor and work your way down.

Any S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents you find, bring them to me.

Well, Fitz came through. That's good, right?

Well, we have pissed-off Inhumans

and a pissed-off Hive, so good and bad.

But, I mean, at least Lash ... at least Andrew didn't die in vain.

The information Daisy brought back has been useful.

You're trying to make us feel better.

Find meaning in Andrew's death or what Daisy's done.

- Maybe. - Don't do that.

- They know where we are. - I need to move fast,

make my way up to the silo and secure the warhead.

- Good luck. - You, too.

Okay. Let's see...

Your work ... it's too slow.

Well, I'm sorry we all don't have superspeed.

Oh, this isn't about superspeed. This is about your turtle speed.

You work and then you stare and work and then more staring.

- We have to go. - Hurtful.

Finish. We have to get the hostages.

Well, if this doesn't work, the hostages won't matter.

Neither will we.

'Cause if Hive gets through here, we're all dead...

or worse.

Would you really use these?

Good. Because I'd rather die than be anyone's slave.

I don't even know why you're on this damned mission.

It's too dangerous.

- That's why you should have this. - What do you think you're doing?

I'm giving you your cross back. You need it more than I do.

This isn't a lucky rabbit's foot. This is a symbol of faith.

Who would return such a gift?

Now hurry. We're running out of time.

You walked Mack through the assembly?

Yep, more times than I can count and gave him written directions.

And I think it's out of our hands now.

- Taking down Hive's up to the field team. - They're not just fighting Hive.

There's a legion of memories inside him.

They're up against every soldier, every genius,

every killer he's ever been. That's a lot of people to outsmart.

- Daisy's awake. - Did she have any more information?

Did she remember what "absolution" means?

- I don't think she knows. - Maybe it's buried too deep.

We have to keep digging.

All right. We don't have much time, so let's just jump right in.

Obviously, someone has fed a code

into the facility's network, thereby disabling the system.

All I have to do is... bypass it altogether

and manually launch the missile.

However, that situation would require a rocket scientist

or an engineer, and I am neither.

Therefore, we're gonna have to put our heads together

and sort this out.

I'm gonna call you "Ronald" and you...

"Ronald Two."

Now, as I'm sure you were both productive,

intelligent members of society before you... became... you.

So, tell me ... have either of you retained any ...

any knowledge from your past, any computer skills,

engineering, or mechanics?

I don't know if you remember what begging is,

but this is exactly that, so please give me something,

because I don't have the tools to...

All right. This is progress. Just keep pushing on.

I know you're in here, Lincoln.

It's useless to hide.

I think it's time we had a heart-to-heart, don't you?

Sorry for taking Daisy from you.

Oh, I know that hurt. She told me it would.

Fitz entered the Kill Code in time. That's step one.

- And Hive? - That's step two.

Thank you for the update.

I know you're doing everything you can

to try to jog your memory, but when he said absolution ...

I told her everything I know.
