06x12 - The Sign

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Marvel's Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D. " Izel said the monoliths had the power to create.

It's possible that the three energies combined to create another Coulson through space and time.

IZEL: This human body, you took it over, and in return, you got everything that comes with this unwilling vessel.

And the only thing powerful enough to defeat me is inside you.

And you're afraid to let it out.

MAY: Getting through to him is still our best sh*t, but it's not something we can force.

Maybe we should.

[WHOOSHING]

The person that is in there is not the man that you loved.

Come on!

What are you waiting for?!

Do it!

k*ll me, Skye!

You were gonna sacrifice yourself.

It's what Coulson would've done.

I think Sarge's powers are very dangerous.

But they might be just what we need.

YO-YO: She's taking people over, possessing them.

Where are we on the Izel problem?

Please tell me you have something.

- We're trying.

- Not yet.

The monoliths could be used to open a doorway between our world and the world that Izel comes from.

My family will come through and take over the Shrike hosts.

With the Di'Allas destroyed, there isn't a way to complete the ritual.

Your minds are going to create them for me.

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

[ECHOING]

I've already shown you that humans are incapable of controlling their fears.

YO-YO: [ECHOING]

But we're not afraid of you.

MACK: [ECHOING]

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're not gonna get any help from us.

Then who's that?

How'd I get here?

YO-YO: Dios mío.

Flint.

It's gonna be okay.

Wh-What's going on?

This is This isn't the Lighthouse.

No, it's not.

It's good to see you, but You have no idea.

I never thought I would.

But you gotta get outta here.

Who did this?!

He's just a boy.

You lock up my friends?

Friends.

Yet they fear you.

Why?

- Stay away from him!

- Flint, don't let her get close to you.

Let 'em go.

You have no idea what I can do.

Flint.

Don't.

[ROCKS RUMBLING]

Stop, Flint.

Stop.

Stop!

- [RUMBLING STOPS]

- [CHUCKLES]

You're special.

Like she is.

Damn right.

So let them go.

Hm.

I thought your friends would bring me the monoliths.

Instead, they brought me you.

You can build them.

There's no way I'm helping you.

I don't need your help.

Just you.

Flint, run!

- MACK: No!

- [EXHALES SHARPLY]

Let's begin.

[ROCKS RUMBLING]

- [SWORD SHINKS]

- Rage.

That's all you feel?

It's the best way to describe it.

And you don't want to be anywhere near it - when it comes out.

- [SWORD SHINKS]

DAISY: Once we land in the jungle, we'll secure Z1, use it as a base of operations.

We go in stealth.

So, how do we get Mack and Yo-Yo out if we can't even get close to her?

Now we can.

You think I haven't seen something like this before?

SARGE: Doubtful.

Our friend Robbie Reyes had something inside him, not exactly a Teddy bear.

He was able to control it.

SARGE: That's my point.

I don't know that I can control it.

This sends a sonic frequency through the body that will prevent you from being possessed.

How many do we have?

- We're working on - I got this.

[CASE THUDS, CLICKS]

Wow.

- When did you - If I had another day or two, I could've had them in rose gold.

No, this is plenty.

You're like a wizard.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I-I picked up a few tricks in the private sector.

This is really great.

- - Yeah.

Okay, so, Izel can't jump into us, but we have other problems.

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.

SIMMONS: Sarge gave us his stockpile of daggers.

And we've melted them down to make b*ll*ts.

FITZ: Yeah, the b*ll*ts are designed to fragment, so they stay embedded in the Shrike.

It's the only way to k*ll them.

PIPER: And Izel?

Will it stop her?

We don't know.

Sarge has his sword, so he's our best hope.

DAISY: [QUIETLY]

Do you think he's ready?

[QUIETLY]

He thinks he is.

And you?

I wish we had more time.

That demon inside him, if Sarge can use it to k*ll Izel, then it's a good thing, but [SIGHS]

after that You think he won't be able to rein it in?

I'm wondering if we can get it out.

Maybe we can separate them.

We have no idea if it works that way.

[SIGHS]

That part of him he's scared of it.

And he's scared because it's not a part of him.

So you want to exorcise it.

I'm saying if Izel opens this gateway I'll find a way to send that thing inside Sarge back where it came from.

You might k*ll him.

Maybe.

[SIGHS]

But if I see a chance to get Coulson back, I'm going to take it.

PIPER: Preparing for descent.

[SWITCHES CLICKING]

[ROCKS RUMBLING]

[THUD]

[THUD]

Flint!

He's breathing.

What did you do to him?

He's extraordinary but, like all Terrans, weak.

[SIGHS]

Beautiful.

They will open the door, and on the other side, they're gathering.

They've never seen anything.

Or heard a song or tasted your pain.

But that will change.

Today.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

Bring me an army!

[SHRIKE SHRIEKING, WINGS FLAPPING]

[ENGINE ROARING]

[ENGINE POWERS DOWN]

Clear!

- She's not here.

- PIPER: Yeah.

And the Quinjet's empty.

Clear.

[SWITCH CLICKS, ELECTRICITY HUMS]

[COMPUTERS BEEPING]

[KEYS CLACKING]

Izel knew exactly the right way to cr*pple the Zephyr.

More like Mack knew and didn't have a choice.

He didn't have to try so hard.

Yeah, this is bad, but it can't be worse - than that one time on that one planet.

- Mm, the smelly one?

- The shiny one.

- [INHALES SHARPLY]

Nothing is that bad.

How quickly can we get Z1 flying again?

Faster if we had Mack.

Lighthouse, come in.

We have Z1.

SIMMONS: Excellent news.

What do things look like on the ground?

We're a few klicks away from the temple, but our vantage point is not ideal.

We have satellites on the move.

When we get a visual, we'll guide you in.

I'd rethink that.

Izel and her Shrike operate on a subset of sonic frequencies.

We always suspected she could hear our communications.

He's not wrong.

We probably shouldn't even be on the radio now.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

We are off to a great start.

All right, we'll go in dark.

Piper, we'll need Z1 ready for extract.

- I'll get to work on it.

- We're signing off.

We'll see you on the other side.

Hey, Sarge.

Do me a solid?

Make sure you end her.

Even going in dark, how are they going to get the cuffs to Mack and Yo-Yo - without confronting Izel?

- [SIGHS]

We need to figure something out.

Some Some kind of distraction.

Something to lure her out of there.

How do we know she'd be lured out as herself?

Yeah, we don't.

What if we could you know get past her?

Have you got something in mind?

It's just something I was working on at my startup.

It's tech.

It It It might not work.

I mean, it probably won't.

But it could.

If you know of a way to get past Izel, then [SLAPS SHOULDER]

you really are a wizard.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Okay, but you promise you won't be mad?

[CHUCKLES]

Why would we be mad?

Well, 'cause it's kinda already here.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GROANS]

I made those, didn't I?

YO-YO: No, it was Izel, not you.

What's she gonna do with them?

Something terrible, I'm guessing.

She ain't gonna use it to feed the poor or heal the sick.

Yeah, when I get my energy back, I'll tear 'em apart.

Don't worry about that just yet.

You got anything left to help us out?

[PANTING]

Yeah [GRUNTS]

Is Izel the Destroyer of Worlds?

YO-YO: No, she's something else.

So, it worked.

You saved Earth.

And you saved the Lighthouse.

[PANTING]

Sweet.

[ROCK SCRATCHING]

Did those bring me here?

Through space and time?

No, we, uh we sorta made you with our minds.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

It sounds crazy, but that's what the third monolith does.

You made me?

What does that mean?

Am I even real?

You look real to me.

[GRUNTS]

We'll take it from here.

[HANDCUFFS CLINKING]

[GRUNTS]

- [BREATHING HEAVILY]

- [ROCKS THUDDING]

When did you get those?

What happened?

I feel like I missed a lot.

A lot did happen, but we're together now, and we gotta get outta here.

Are you strong enough to run?

- Yeah.

- MACK: Let's go.

- [FLINT GRUNTS]

- IZEL: Oh It's sad how predictable humans are.

You just had to see the face of an old friend, and you risk it all.

You must need a reminder of what I'm capable of.

No!

- Yo-Yo!

- [KNEE CRACKS]

- [SCREAMS]

- No!

[FLINT WHIMPERING]

See?

Predictable.

It's okay, buddy.

It'll be alright.

Remember how excited you guys were when I was able to make those cuffs so fast?

Just Just hold on to that feeling.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS, ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS]

Everybody!

I'd like you to meet Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons.

They identify as my grandparents, so please just go with it.

Mr.

Shaw, can I get you anything?

Uh, you want a charcoal water?

Cascara Fizz?

Uh, and here's the rose gold.

Oh, I love the chamfer on this.

Thank you.

- [CUFF CHARGES]

- [LAUGHS]

Walk with me.

You could've just told us you brought in people.

I know, but I didn't.

KAYA: May I introduce you to The ShawDrive.

Is this a jump drive?

It's an experimental, hyper-local, fusion-based transportation device.

Patent pending.

Patent pending?

You stole this.

[LAUGHS]

Could you just Could you give us one sec?

I just, uh, was gonna tell you [WHISPERING]

First of all, S. H. I. E. L. D. stole this from the Remorath, and I doubt that the evil aliens have a good patent lawyer.

You've stolen all of this!

I use good ideas, okay?

I use math.

Did I "steal" math?

Is Is that Framework code?

Oh, that No, no, no.

That That That's harmless.

That That's just a That's an advanced gaming system.

That you're profiting from!

Profit fuels research.

That's what you said.

A-And the ShawDrive which now that I say it sounds bad that could be the one way to save our friends.

Fitz.

If this works, an agent can jump into the field.

Maybe even into the temple itself.

All right.

Does it work?

We've done some tests that have gone well, and most of the mice survive.

- [INHALES SHARPLY]

- But But with all three of us maybe we can get it working better.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Fine.

Fine, Deke.

Okay!

Everybody!

Hey, listen up.

Drop everything.

Eyes on me.

Now.

Whatever Nana and Bobo want, obviously, run it by me first and then help them.

Let's treat it like it's launch day, people!

We should be able to see the pyramid soon.

This thing's not reading right.

That's what happens when you keep jumping through wormholes.

So where does one get a space-ghost-k*lling-sword anyway?

I don't know.

Just always had it.

I used to not question things thought they were just memories Izel had stolen.

Turns out, I know even less than I thought.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

It's mine to carry.

[BRANCHES SNAPPING]

MAY: Hold.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

[SHOUTING]

[THUD]

Shrike-k*lling b*ll*ts.

Should've thought of that.

Just never been to a planet that was so into g*ns.

She must've infected the resort town nearby.

I'm guessing there's no way to save them?

They're already dead.

I'm pretty sure I k*lled most of the birds at the tower.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

[SHRIKE SHRIEKING IN DISTANCE]

[BRANCHES RUSTLING]

And I'm pretty sure I just jinxed us by saying that.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING CONTINUES, GROWLING]

[g*nshots]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING CONTINUES]

Down!

[SHOUTS]

So much for the stealth approach.

If she didn't know we were coming, she does now.

- You didn't use your s - I'm saving it for her.

[SHRIEKS]

Too much?

I don't know, it kinda felt like overkill.

What?

Nothing.

Lighthouse, be advised that we might've just blown our cover.

Roger that.

Is everyone okay?

Yeah, but things might get messy.

We may have a solve from our end.

Hang tight, we're working on it.

Best not to get their hopes up.

- If we can't deliver - Sure we can.

The ShawDrive The jump drive is ready to jump.

How can you say that?

The targeting system's untested.

After that, the charging system's our next priority.

- Agreed.

- Yeah, but it mostly works, right?

I don't know how it works.

And you can't tell me because you didn't build it.

You were getting along so well.

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.

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.

Jealous?

Of what?!

Half your ideas are mine!

Okay, stop it!

Both of you.

I won't travel down this road again.

It's exhausting.

And Mack and Yo-Yo need us.

YO-YO: You got your Di'Allas and everything you wanted.

Why don't you let us take the kid and go?

[CHUCKLES]

But we're just getting started.

And you've only begun to serve your higher purpose.

And what's that?

Ascension.

If you wanted to k*ll us, you would've done it already.

True.

When the Three arrive, they'll need bodies to inhabit.

All I hear you talk about is how weak we are.

But you want what we have.

And I will have it without your weakness.

You've seen it with your own eyes our wounds will heal, our bones will mend.

You won't be in pain much longer.

And we won't let you hurt him.

[CHUCKLES]

It was your hand that shattered his bone.

The boy has two legs, so sit down.

I am telling you, if we address the quantum targeting That's a backup parameter.

Why would we waste our time tweaking redundant systems?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Well, you would know all about redundant systems.

- I heard that!

- Please, you two This whole ridiculous company is a redundancy.

You're not a genius.

You're a hack.

And no B. S.

Foundation can hide D. S. F. B. F. F.

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 And my best friend turned out to be a spy, and 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 d*ed.

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.

[CUFF CHARGES]

I survived an apocalyptic hellscape - Deke.

- Wait, hang on.

- Okay, let's not - Deke.

- Deke, you have to - so what do I have to do to get a little respect around here?

- Deke, don't even think about - No, no.

[GASPS]

[APPLAUSE]

He is so cool.

[CHUCKLES]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Deke?

- [CUFF CHARGES]

- You're good.

[CUFF CHARGES]

[GRUNTS]

[CHUCKLES]

[SHOUTS]

Hurry up!

Let's go!

Not without him.

- Flint?!

- Deke?

DEKE AND FLINT: What are you doing here?!

It's hard to explain.

[GROANS]

We gotta go.

- [CUFF CHARGES]

- Here, take this.

It'll keep her out.

- What about you?

- It's okay.

I got problems with wearable tech anyway.

[GROANS, BREATHING HEAVILY]

There's a S. H I. E. L. D. team incoming.

We've gotta clear out and get back to Z1.

[FLINT GROANS]

Is that a jump drive on your back?

Yes, and I would give it to Flint to get him out of here, but we did tests, and most of the mice did not survive.

[FLINT GROANING, PANTING]

Uh, guys.

Go.

I'll draw them away.

You sure?

Yes, I got an escape hatch on my back!

Go!

MACK: Thank you, Agent Shaw.

Anytime, Director.

Over here, you big dummies!

Let's go!

[PANTING]

Thanks for the party, guys but I gotta jump.

[ZOMBIES GRUNT]

Unexpected.

[ZOMBIES GRUNT]

Lighthouse, Lighthouse, come in!

- Deke!

- I got the tech to Mack and YoYo, but the jump drive isn't working.

Yeah, well, of course it isn't w [WHISPERING]

I cannot deal with that [EXHALES SHARPLY]

[LOUDER]

It needs time to build up a charge, 20 to 30 minutes at least.

Well, I wish you would've told me that!

You jumped away!

Wearable tech!

[QUIETLY]

You saw it.

That was Coulson.

Even had the same damn twinkle in his eye.

[QUIETLY]

Or Sarge finally learned how to land a joke.


- [DEVICE BEEPING]

- Izel.

She built an army.

MAY: [EXHALES DEEPLY]

Even with the b*ll*ts, there are too many of them.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

I'll do what I can.

I'll make a lot of noise.

- Wh - What other choice do we have?

Just do the damn thing.

[VOCALIZING]

[PANTING]

You know, one good thing is this gave me an idea.

What about a game where you k*ll zombies?

I bet nobody's done that.

Yeah, that's an excellent idea.

You could k*ll dog zombies and fast zombies and slow zombies, and you can k*ll them with knives, maybe one with, like, a chainsaw [IZEL VOCALIZING IN DISTANCE]

Whoa, did you hear that?

[VOCALIZING CONTINUES]

[VOCALIZING CONTINUES]

[ROCKS RUMBLING]

Are you seeing this?

What is it?

I don't know.

But I think it means we're too late.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[GROANING]

- [BAG UNZIPS]

- Hey, where'd you come from?

Lady, if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

Oh, you'd be surprised.

You're lucky you made it here.

There's something out in that jungle.

Shrike zombies.

It's like a Romero movie out there.

Zombies.

Why not?

Oh, so this is Zephyr One.

I never thought I'd see it.

Or see a jungle.

There are so many plants.

But no oranges.

And the air is sticky.

Well, it sounds like you feel better, but you gotta try to relax, okay?

- Okay.

- Piper?

PIPER: [QUIETLY]

Can you wrap this up?

Thanks.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

That's Flint.

Wait, "Flint" from the future who saved everybody?

Yeah, that's him.

Izel shattered his leg, so when the shock wears off, it's gonna be bad.

Can you fly him out of here?

Yeah, I mean, he helped save the planet.

I think we owe him one.

Thank you.

Yo-Yo and I are gonna head back to the temple.

Well, Daisy, May, and Sarge will appreciate the backup.

Sarge?

He's here?

Yeah, Daisy think he's the only one who can k*ll Izel.

Okay.

This is Piper.

She's gonna take you out of here and get you fixed up.

FLINT: [GRUNTS]

It's gonna be okay, Flint.

This world it's so much better than the one you came from.

You guys still have tacos, right?

All the tacos you want, Pebbles.

We'll hit a drive-through when we get back.

Cool.

Wait, what's a drive-through?

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[QUIETLY]

Here.

[g*n COCKS]

[DEVICE BEEPING]

I thought Daisy was going to lead them away.

Give her a minute.

[IZEL VOCALIZING IN DISTANCE]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

What is it?

That's her song.

I hear it in my sleep.

[SIGHS]

I don't like this.

It means she's close.

To opening the gate, to summoning them last chance to walk away.

I'm not afraid.

That's one of us.

Whatever we're about to face in there, you'll do the right thing.

How can you know that?

Because I know who you are.

Look, this isn't gonna be easy to hear, but if you're harboring any hope that after all this, I'm gonna turn into this "Coulson" guy, you gotta let that go.

Do I want an alien passenger in my head?

No.

But if I kick it loose, what's left of me won't be the love of your life.

- Maybe - There's no maybe.

Maybe Phil Coulson is gone forever.

I've accepted that.

But I still believe there's good in you, even if it isn't him.

Let's hope you're right.

[RUMBLING]

Daisy, right on cue.

Let's go finish this thing.

[VOCALIZING IN DISTANCE]

I don't want to be here when this lady hits the high note.

I'm getting out now.

SIMMONS: Negative!

You don't have enough power to make it back to the Lighthouse.

[ROCKS FALLING]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

I'll take anywhere but here!

- FITZ: Deke, no!

- I'm out!

[SHOUTS]

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[SHOUTS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I'm okay.

I made it.

I'm safe.

[BUSHES RUSTLING]

Cancel that!

Not safe!

Not alone!

[GRUNTING]

SIMMONS: Get to the Quinjet!

It's closest.

[GRUNTS]

Where's that?!

West!

What's west?!

FITZ: Towards the bloody sun!

Let's roll out.

That's all the firepower we've got.

[PANTING]

Oh, you guys are the best things I've seen all day.

Those things out there, not so much.

- [SWITCH CLICKS]

- Where's May and Sarge?

- [RAMP CLOSING]

- At the temple.

Come on.

You left them?

You guys missed a lot.

Long story short, I had to lure away an army of zombies.

Turns out, they were the fast kind.

Not easy to shake, so we have to get in the air now.

[IZEL VOCALIZING]

[ROCK RUMBLING]

[ROCK RUMBLING]

[DEVICE BEEPING]

There's no signal down here.

- We're blind.

- Of course we are.

[VOCALIZING CONTINUES]

Are you okay?

[STRAINING]

Get me to her.

Maybe you should just [DEMONIC VOICE]

Get me to her.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[ROCK RUMBLING]

Izel wasn't messing around.

She made me dismantle the avionics bus.

- Yeah, I figured.

- But if we can re-route the lab's power to the thrusters, maybe we can get off the ground.

We don't have enough time.

We can We can take the Quinjet.

We can't.

Piper took it.

We had to get Flint out.

Flint?!

Our Flint?

Do I even want to ask how he got here?

The monolith energy.

So, we lost Piper, and the Quinjet and he's not even real.

- You tell that to him.

- He is real.

And Mack and I are responsible for him.

You weren't there.

You have no idea what we've been through.

If she got the monoliths, I have a pretty good idea.

You have no right to question our judgment.

You're the one who brought Sarge on this mission the man who just tried to k*ll us with a nuclear b*mb.

Like I said, a lot has happened since then, Director.

- [GLASS SHATTERING]

- Fall back!

Fall back!!

Go!

DAISY: How did they get in here?

[ALL GRUNTING]

There's too many of them.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Okay, I made it.

Now what?

- Now you wait for extract.

- Isn't there a way that you guys can fly me out of here remotely?

I mean, if not, I'm sure Elon could do it.

I could call him.

He kind of owes me a favor.

Just stay put.

Someone will be there shortly.

Are you seeing this?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

IZEL: You seem much more like yourself.

And just in time.

They're on the other side, waiting for a sign.

Why don't I send you through and you can tell them yourself?

Stand back.

She's mine.

I've always been yours.

Not like this.

[WHOOSHING]

- [BOTH GRUNT]

- [BREATHING HEAVILY]

There you are.

[SWORD SHINKS]

No.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

How do you still have that?

It doesn't belong in this world.

Neither do you.

I've watched you destroy planet after planet.

All you are is death.

Even that song cuts through me like death.

This pain I'm done with it.

[GRUNTING]

[LAUGHS]

You can't do it, can you?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Sarge?

Great tactical decision, luring the zombies back here.

That obviously was not the plan.

I had to clear a path.

What, for a man we can't trust?

We don't know what tricks he has up his sleeve.

I know for a fact that he's the only one that can k*ll 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.

IZEL: Do you remember now?

They're waiting for the sign.

- She's playing you, Sarge.

- You hear me, don't you?

- Don't listen.

- Like you have new senses, - new understanding.

- 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 Kn*fe 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.

- [BREATHLESS]

Yes.

And now I know how to end it.

[SWORD SHINKS]

[GASPING]

To cut it out of me.

Slice it away and be done with it.

[SWORD SQUELCHES]

How's that for a sign?

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]

[SLURPING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Greetings, Isaiah.

Apologies for the unfortunate surroundings.

Unfortunate indeed.

How are our efforts fairing?

Were you able to reach out to our fellow anthropologists?

I have.

My plan is ambitious, to be sure, but I believe together we may endeavor to rebuild our home planet.

Enoch, there is a problem.

The Chronicoms on your list are no longer anthropologists.

That is not possible.

They have all been reassigned.
