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

Agent Johnson saved us all.
Just go with it. You'll thank me later.

Let's start with the secret plan
you cut with Senator Nadeer.

Did you know she has
an Inhuman prisoner locked away?

I'm from S.H.I.E.L.D.

I have friends
who have also gone through this.

- It's nice to meet you, Jemma.
- What's your name?

- Ah! Ah!
- Thank you, Doctor.

- I think we're finished here.
- If you won't read it, I will.

It's too much
for a human mind to bear.

Perhaps I could read the book.

Everybody is trying to do their best
to prevent another tragedy like Lincoln.

But we built Aida
to protect agents like him.

I can't figure you out.
We flirt, we talk on the phone,

we go to dinner, and then nothing.

I've asked Agent Nathanson
to accompany Aida back to your lab.

Oh, my God.

What the...

My apologies, Agent May.
I'll have you cleaned up in no time.

Not just a robot.
It is one that can pass for a human.

There's nothing I'd rather be doing,
no place I'd rather be.

- You?
- I'm right where I belong.

I'll play you music when I can.

Studies show that listening to music
increases dopamine levels by nine percent.

And I'll arrange for more comfortable
accommodations eventually.

But I must keep you hidden...

a secret...

until your substitute has served
her purpose.

So, unfortunately...

you'll have to stay here for now.

Due to recent events,
S.H.I.E.L.D. is on high alert.

This is a serious threat we're facing,

which is why I've assembled
you all here today.

It is absolutely critical
that we safely dispose of the Darkhold.

Phil.

Once the Zephyr's ready, Agents May
and Mackenzie will accompany me.

We'll transfer the Darkhold
to an agent who

specialises in making items
like this disappear.

How's he going to manage that,
some sort of magic spell?

Right, yeah, probably had your fill
of dark-arts jokes,

what with the flame-headed demon
and all of that.

While we're handling the book,
your mission is to accompany Dr Radcliffe

and erase Aida's hard drive.

- What?
- I'm not, I'm not sure...

- Aida read the Darkhold.
- We can't risk having any

of its contents in her memory.
It's too dangerous.

Makes sense, although does seem a little
bit unfair to Aida, considering

- how many lives she just saved.
- Okay.

First of all, that thing is not a "she",
it's a damn robot.

And second of all, what's the matter
with you two chuckleheads?

Have either one of you seen a movie
in the last 30 years?

The robots always attack.

Well, technically speaking,
Aida's not a robot, she's an android.

- That's true.
- Android, robot,

it doesn't matter what you call 'em,
the end result's always the same.

They rise up against their human overlords
and go kill crazy.

You make a fair,
if somewhat intense point.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't see any harm
in replacing her hard drive.

Better safe than sorry, as they say.

So happy you agree, 'cause it's also
an order. Now get to work.

Ellen?

Glad you finally woke up.
Looked like you were having bad dreams.

It was about Mum's birthday,

when the Chitauri attacked.

Worst day of my life.

Though finding you in that cocoon
seven months ago was a close second.

Seven months?

I was gone that long?

What is this, Ellen?

Why are we here?

I needed a place for us to be alone...

just you and me.

Somehow, I feel responsible
for whatever happens next.

Are you sure this is the Inhuman
you saw in the husk?

Absolutely positive.

I knew Senator Nadeer was connected
to him somehow, and in my research on her,

I recognised him.

Vijay Nadeer, her own brother,
if you can believe it.

Yeah, but there's zero evidence
that he's been missing.

He's been posting on Facebook, Twitter.
His bills are paid.

He even recently signed up
for a Master Class in directing.

But there have been no new photos
of Vijay in the last seven months.

So either he's suddenly
gotten camera-shy, or...

- Or someone's hiding him.
- Not someone,

the senator,

considering she's the country's
leading anti-Inhuman hatemonger.

I'd have a much better idea
where she was hiding him

if the Director hadn't insisted I wear
a hood before going on assignment.

Just awful.

It's hard to breathe in those things, huh?

It is nice having someone here
to talk to again...

you, specifically.

- Someone other than Fitz?
- Oh, well, of course, Fitz, but...

- he has been rather distracted lately.
- Distracted how?

Aida.

You know how boys can be
with their robots.

Actually, I really don't.

Speaking of the Director,
here comes his little Smithers now.

What do you want, Burrows?

The Director would like a word with Quake.

- My name's Daisy.
- Well, not according to the press release.

Now, if you'd follow me, ma'am.

I must admit,
we make a pretty impressive pair.

Well, looks like we're stuck
with each other.

Well, I was just trying to make the most
of the precarious situation you put me in.

Is this when I get read the riot act?

Not by me.

However, if you're as smart as they say,
then you'll know that, uh,

I saved you from being thrown in prison.

You saved face.
You turned it into a publicity stunt.

You already had plenty of publicity,

destruction of public property, assault,
armed robbery...

- I never carry a weapon.
- You are the weapon.

- The public was turning against you.
- Now? They look up to you.

You're welcome.

Okay, this isn't how I wanted this to go.

Uh...

we're both Inhuman.

And as you say,
we're stuck with each other,

so why not make the most of it?

I read your written statement,
and I believe it.

You were just trying to protect
the innocent. And I know you're new here,

but that's what S.H.I.E.L.D. is all about.

New here?

It was a joke. I was making a joke
to break the ice.

Got it.

Seems they look up to you too,
the hero of Vienna.

It's a nice pic.

Not as big a deal as they made it.
They gave me too much credit.

You don't get to be modest and have
a framed glamour shot on your desk.

Fair point.

Look, we're a team now,
and I have a saying, a tea...

I read the motivational poster
in the bathroom.

Good. Well, um, the team trust
has been eroded for both of us,

but I'm hoping we can earn it back.

Tackle problems together
within the administrative structure

- and start...
- You want to tackle problems?

The Watchdogs. Enemy number one.

I believe they're funded internationally.

They have ties to people
within the US government.

I don't want to chase conspiracy theories.

It's not a theory if I can prove it.

I want to chase hard facts,
like the fact

that Senator Nadeer is aware of an Inhuman
who's being held against his will.

- Now we're talking.
- Agent Simmons has seen his face.

- If she can ID him, maybe she...
- She did.

He's the senator's brother, breaking news.

How fitting.

No wonder she used
all those cloak-and-dagger methods.

You got a lead on his whereabouts?

No sign of him, but she's been
out of the office all week.

Okay.

Agent Rodriguez is still recovering,
so that leaves you, me, and Agent Simmons.

- Wheels up in ten.
- Wait, wait, wait.

What? Where are we going?

To rescue him.

I wasn't expecting you.

Uh. Change of plan,
my dear Aida.

Change of plan.

Is everything okay, Leopold?

You look sad.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, everything's fine.
Just, um...

- bit overwhelmed with work, is all.
- I'm sorry to hear that.

Bit too observant. Might have to take
a look at that in the next software patch.

It was almost as if she knew
I felt guilty.

- Ah, don't be silly, Fitz.
- Aida can't differentiate...

I know what you're doing, Doctor.
You came here to end my life.

Well, that's not true, Aida.
We simply wanted to make a...

few upgrades, that's all.

Bloody hell.

I made a few upgrades of my own.

Aida.

Ah!

I didn't like feeling pain,
so I fixed that.

Aida, whatever you're doing,
you, you got to stop.

Why would you want to hurt me, Leopold?

I was your shield.

You still make my favourite breakfast.

Yeah.

That's because you don't eat breakfast
if I'm not there to cook it.

I thought you were gonna sell this place.

I had a couple of offers,
but I decided to take it off the market.

I'm glad.

This is one of the last houses
Dad designed before he died.

Seems like it should stay in the family.

You're probably right.

Plus, it's the perfect place for you
to recover after your ordeal.

What happened to you
inside that cocoon, Vijay?

I don't know.

Nothing.

You were in there for seven months.

Surely you have some memory
of being inside.

It was dark.

Lonely.

For a long time,
all I could hear was your voice.

Telling you to fight.

And I did.

It just took a long time.

If it hadn't been
for that S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist...

Wait, does that mean S.H.I.E.L.D.'s back?

Unfortunately, yes.

Well, maybe that's not such a bad thing.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is one of the main reasons
the world has the problems it does.

There you go,
painting with a broad brush again...

It's people like me who keep
the world safe.

I'm not making a case
for the whole organisation.

No, just the one good S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.

- Ellen...
- Let's just drop it.

It's a nice day.

How about we go for a walk,
stretch our legs?

That's the signal. The senator will be
transporting the target.

Shoot to kill on my command.
Remember, be prepared for anything.

- Any luck finding Aida?
- I'm checking local APBs, pointlessly.

But Fitz and Radcliffe should be back
any minute.

Maybe they'll have some idea
where Aida's headed.

This isn't some Johnny five
we're talking about.

This is a bloodthirsty murder-bot
on the loose.

- This thing really killed Nathanson?
- Yeah. Question is why.

If we catch her, I'm sure we'll get some
crazy-ass Roy Batty explanation.

Maybe Nathanson saw something
he wasn't supposed to see.

Guess we won't know till we find Aida.

First, maybe we lock up the guy
who created this mess.

Don't, don't be so quick to judge.
Aida's programming was perfect. This is...

Is clearly the Darkhold's fault.

You're saying reading the Darkhold
may have corrupted Aida's programming?

Is that even possible?

Technically, no, but we are dealing
with a book that can read people's minds

and also reveal the hidden secrets
of the universe, so...

I never should have let Aida
near that thing.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Agent May.

I, for one, am glad that Aida read
that book. Otherwise, both of you would

not be standing here alive
at this very moment.

Well, book or no book, you're still a big,
dumb idiot for building that thing

in the first place.

Let's save that debate for another time.
Right now, we need to find Aida,

and the first step is figuring out
what she wants.

Well, that's simple.

She wants to live.

I'm still feeling very optimistic
about this mission.

I bear much of the blame for this Aida
situation. Science and Technology

- are my responsibility...
- It's not your fault.

I knew the risks that came
with using powerful autonomous machinery.

- I knew the dangers and...
- And you thought I was one of them.

You didn't want that technology
to fall under the control

of a Director you didn't know.

No, I did not.

But now it's completely out of control,
and for that, I am sorry.

Well, Agent Coulson will have to handle
it. We have our own life to save.

And, uh...

I'm sorry I put the bag over your head.

Okay. So, what's the play here, Director?

How do we find this senator
and her brother?

Normally, I'd use my contacts
up on the Hill,

go in, rattle a few cages, see what drops
out, but...

I don't want to draw too much attention...

Downside of being front-page news.

Which means we need to find
a more covert way in.

Well, seeing as you both
have more experience with undercover work,

I'm open to suggestions.

- Sorry for the wait, Ms Meeks.
- What can I do for you?

It is absolutely crucial

I speak with Senator Nadeer
about Bill 2474.

- The Armed Forces Bill?
- That's right.

- So, you're Margaret's replacement.
- As if anyone could replace Margaret.

Well, unfortunately,
the senator is away on business.

Maybe we can schedule you
in for a conference call later this week.

Or maybe I could just take
the lobby's sizable campaign funds

to a senator who's willing
to speak right now.

Wait right here. Let me see what I can do.

You know, I have to admit,

Jemma is much tougher than I had
originally given her credit for.

Yeah, well, being in S.H.I.E.L.D.
will do that to you.

I think Simmons has been kidnapped,
like, three times since I've known her.

Really?

Yeah, well, only twice on this planet.

Mr Shockley.

- Yeah.
- I need to speak with Senator Nadeer.

She's unavailable. What's the problem?

Remember the scientist that helped
the senator's brother

get out of that husk?
Well, she's here right now.

That is a problem.

- What should I do?
- Take care of it.

I'm going to need your phone.

Is she okay in there?

Ah!

Simmons, are you there?
Is everything okay?

Yeah. A little bloody and bruised,
but I'll survive.

We may have a bit of a political situation
on our hands when he wakes up.

But now we can trace that call.

I really should get out of the city more.

This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks for bringing me out here.

Remember that zip line
we built out here with Raj?

I'm sorry, Vijay.

Sorry? Why?
'Cause I broke my arm falling off it?

Wasn't your fault.

Wait.

What's going on? What is this?

You and I were both there
when the Chitauri killed Mum.

Aliens invading our world.
Everything changed that day.

- What are you doing?
- The Inhuman epidemic was the next phase.

The aliens were now here,
contaminating us,

changing us to be like them,

which is why we made each other
a promise...

- No. No, Ellen, no.
- ...that if either of us was ever infected

by the alien plague, it was
up to the other to do the right thing.

I'm not an Inhuman...

I'm your brother.

Whatever came out of that cocoon...

- is no brother of mine.
- Look at me. Ellen, please,

just look at me!

I heard your voice when I was inside,
telling me to fight.

That's why I was in there for so long.

I was fighting.

- That was only wishful thinking.
- No, it wasn't.

Do you see any scarring,
any special abilities?

That's because it didn't change me.

I'm the same person I've always been.

I beat it...

- just like you said I could.
- Senator.

I'm your brother...

the same one who followed you
around when we were kids.

I've always looked up to you.

I've always loved you.

Please...

don't give up on me now.

Nothing's changed, I, I swear.

You have to trust me.

Trust me.

This is not what Mum would want.

Let him go.

- This isn't what we discussed.
- I said let him go.

Thank you.

Just sent Aida's photos
out to local authorities.

Looks like your creepiness finally works
in our favour.

Shouldn't be too hard to find
your beautiful weird science sex-bot.

That's unfair, Mack.

I've never had sex with Aida.
We're just good friends.

Good to know.

So, Aida's basically a walking smartphone,
right?

If a person loses their phone,
they can track it.

Why can't we do the same with her?

Yeah, well, normally we can,
only Aida's somehow managed

to take control
of her entire operating system.

Which unfortunately includes
her tracking programme.

Meaning Aida can read her GPS history?

- That's not good. That's bad.
- Yeah. How bad?

Looks like we're about to find out.

Hello, Aida.

It's nice to hear your voice,
Agent Coulson.

Okay.
This right here,

it's exactly how The Lawnmower Man ends.

- What is it you want, Aida?
- The thing that gave me a soul.

The Darkhold?

Yeah, I'm sorry, Aida.

You've been acting a little off lately,
so that's not gonna happen.

I was afraid you'd say that.

- She's in the system.
- Fitz, any bright ideas?

Uh, Simmons and I have built a--
a non-Internet server to power the base

in case we ever got hacked again, which

seems to happen all the bloody time,
doesn't it?

At least once a year. Go.

How's Yo-Yo recovering from L.A.?

Well, she knows her limitations,
but I'm sure she'll want to help.

Good. Then take Agents Navarro and Flynn
and go get Yo-Yo.

You four will be the first line
of defence if Aida gets into the base.

What are you and May gonna do?

Try to keep Aida from getting
into the base.

All right. Let's go.

I was hoping you'd pay me a visit.

Unfortunately, it's not that type
of visit.

This have something to do
with the power being out?

Yeah. Radcliffe built a humanoid robot
that's about to attack the base.

Why would he do that?

Has he watched no American movies
from the '80s? Robots always attack.

Been saying that all day.

Smart people are stupid.

All right, gear up.

The robot apocalypse is finally here.

Where we headed?

Emergency staircase
to the base's bar entrance.

We need to lock that down manually.

Don't you think we'd be better off
guarding the Darkhold?

No, the Darkhold's secure where it is.

Better hope so.

Hello, Aida.

My hand does that, too.

You're not getting that book.

Yes, I am.

But I'm gonna need your help.

May...

wake up.

Where's Aida?

Out there, looking for the Darkhold,
presumably.

- I was about to fight her, and then...
- Woke up in here.

Me, too.

Oh.

Yeah.

Seems Aida nailed you pretty good.

Radcliffe failed to mention
she had ninja programming.

There's an electronic lock on this door,

so until Fitz overrides the system,
we're trapped.

And the Darkhold...

you're sure Aida won't find it?

No, there was something different
about her.

- It was like she was actually angry.
- No. I mean, that's just impossible.

I mean, Aida... she doesn't feel anything.
She emulates.

Her reactions are nothing more
than approximations of emotions.

- It's pure mimicry.
- Yeah, well...

that's just it.

What if reading the Darkhold

somehow made the emotions
that Aida was mimicking real?

Well, I mean, I can get how
the book can pass knowledge along

to its reader, but human feelings?

I mean, that's like something
from one of Mack's movies.

Well, it would explain why she's
acting counter to our programming.

What, you're saying
she's been overwhelmed by this...

this flood of new emotions?

Yeah, well, think about it.
Fear, anger, they're powerful feelings,

feelings that make people kill,
so can you imagine then being bombarded

- with them all at once?
- Fitz.

I mean, we've had our whole lives
to process complex emotions.

Aida would've had days.
It would be overwhelming.

Damn it, that's enough!

Who are we kidding?
We know it was my fault.

It was nothing more than hubris
that led me to create Aida.

If only I'd shown some bloody restraint.

- You were trying to save lives.
- Yeah, but more,

I wanted to create an android
that could pass as human.

Never in my wildest dreams
did I imagine she'd actually become human.

- Aida is still just an android.
- Yeah, but is she?

She has her own experiences,
her own thoughts.

Now she even has free will.

How then, is she not a living being?

It's just a theory.

A theory we both know to be true.

And we're supposed to, what, kill her?

How does that not make us murderers?

What the hell were you thinking?

I need more time to see what he is.

- He's an Inhuman.
- Then why hasn't he changed?

Vijay still looks the same.
He's shown no new abilities.

'Cause he was hiding them from you.
Your brother has been in a husk

- for seven months.
- Fighting the disease.

For which there is no cure.

We've both read the reports.

This isn't something
you just will your way out of.

- Still, I'm not convinced.
- I wonder why that is.

What are you implying?

Maybe you and your brother
aren't so different after all.

You know, there's ways of finding
out if you're Inhuman.

Don't threaten me.

It's only a threat if you're one of them.

We've got company.

I'm surprised to see you here,
Director Mace, especially in the company

of Quake, a known terrorist.

Guess you haven't been watching
the news lately.

Agent Johnson here is a national hero,
helped save a lot of lives in L.A.

Really? Is that what they're saying?

Funny how easily the press can be fed
a false narrative.

Is that a Hex Mag?

It's not really something
the Secret Service use,

but it's a favourite among
the Watchdogs.

- Guess it's not just a theory after all.
- These men are simply providing security.

The world has become
a very dangerous place because

- of people like you.
- Why, even today,

I had an aide attacked in my office,

which is why I'm sure you understand
my wariness to have S.H.I.E.L.D. agents

show up uninvited to my private property,
especially if they wish me harm.

I can assure you we want no such thing.

But I do have reason to believe

that your brother's being held here
against his will.

At gunpoint.

That's a serious accusation you're making.

Well, if you have nothing to hide,
I'm sure you wouldn't mind

- us taking a quick look around.
- Actually, I would mind.

Does General Talbot even know you're here?

- This operation doesn't concern Talbot.
- It will once I return to D.C.

Unless you have some paperwork
from the UN, I think it's time you leave.

I just got off the phone
with the superior.

He says eliminate the Inhuman.

Someone needs to make Radcliffe
watch all the Terminator movies.

- Even Salvation?
- He brought this onto himself.

Are you hearing this?

She did not just go
all Maximum Overdrive on us.

Everyone, take cover!

Now it's just the two of us.

How many times have we been locked
up together?

Huh.

Hard to say.

First time by a robot, though.

You ever feel like you're living
someone else's life?

Every day.

Funny.

You never show it.

That's 'cause I have
an excellent poker face.

- You're terrible at poker.
- That's true.

I'm too cautious,
don't take enough chances.

Maybe you should start.

I'll keep that in mind if we ever get
out of here.

Won't be long till Fitz retakes control
of the system.

Where are we headed once he does?

Back to where we came from.

Mace's office?

Why there?

Because that's where you hid the Darkhold.

- But there's no safe in that room.
- Which is why we cloaked the book.

It was actually Mace's idea.

I always worried that robots would try
and kill me one day.

Really? We grew up different.

Even got a special provision
in my life insurance for death by robot.

- Are you serious?
- Yep.

This goes sideways,
my brother's gonna be one rich dude.

This gunfire's not letting up.

Maybe we ought to think of getting
to safety.

No. Almost got it.

- Was that?
- Yeah. Let's go.

Aida, stop.

Careful, Fitz. She's dangerous.
Fitz, it might be best not to engage.

Surrender the book.

Everything will be fine, I promise.

We both know that's not true, Leopold.

I took the base offline.

You're no longer in the system.

There's nowhere for you to go.

Where's my sister?

Probably best that she's not here
for this.

What the...

Guess now we know what your power is.

He's here.

We don't know that.

- Okay, now we do.
- Go find Vijay. I'll take care of them.

It's over, Aida.

I did not kill anyone here.

- That was intentional.
- You murdered Nathanson.

Nathanson insisted he reboot me
before repairing my wounds.

I regret what happened.

Regret's not part of your programming.

The Darkhold fixed that.

It showed me regret and desire,
so many astonishing things.

It made you dangerous.

I only wanted to help you.

Roll credits.

Sorry, Aida.

Take him out!

- Did you know he could...
- I did not.

Vijay.

I didn't know.

Vijay...

you need to come with us.

- Jemma.
- She's seen what you are.

That's why they're here. S.H.I.E.L.D.
wants to make you their weapon.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

It's like I said when we first met,
I have friends just like you.

Are they agents?

- Yes, but that was their choice.
- She's lying.

I trusted you.

Now trust me.

We're family...

please, we have to go now.

Vijay, don't do this.

You're making a mistake.

- He's not safe with her.
- Jemma...

Vijay had a choice, and he made it.

I'm sorry.

You did everything you could.

As did you.

Get us out of here.

Little brother, don't worry about them.
Look at me.

I want you to know how sorry I am.

But we made each other a promise.

Never question me again.

Is that understood?

S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't going away.
We need to strike back.

I can assemble a team.

That won't be necessary. I think it's time
the superior sends some men of his own.

I trust they'll be able to get
the job done.

But there is one thing I still need
from you...

get rid of the body.

Okay, here's another one,

have you ever watched Chopping Mall?

Eight teenagers trapped
in a shopping mall

while three deadly security robots
hunt them down.

Of course, I've seen Chopping Mall.
Come on, now.

You got to do better
than that. Hey, Turbo.

Drink up.

Ah. How's Radcliffe holding up?

He's taking it pretty hard, actually.

Aida was his life's work.
She was kind of like a child.

Small Wonder.

Yes, Director.
I'll handle the Darkhold personally.

We'll leave first thing in the morning.
Copy that.

- You gonna need a pilot?
- I think it's more a solo mission.

Sounds like Senator Nadeer was the one
who's been organising the Watchdogs.

Hmm. At least now we know who our
real enemy is.

To Aida.

To Aida.

- Is everything okay, Doctor?
- It will be.

It's just...

We were so close.

She had it in her hand, Aida,
in her hand!

She just couldn't get out with it.

Your previous model
had the Darkhold book in her hand.

And all the answers it holds.

I've only glimpsed it,
but it opened my eyes to possibilities

beyond my wildest imaginings.

- It can show us how...
- How to live forever.

Well,
it's a bit more complicated, but yes.

Man could, once and for all,
break the bonds of his mortal restraints.

Is it still possible to make such a leap
without the Darkhold?

I'm afraid not...

which is why I took a chance
and had Aida make a play for it.

- It was a risk we had to take.
- But she failed.

Ah, through no fault of her own.

She played her part to perfection,
right down to my little speech

about how the Darkhold was making her
a real girl.

Oscar-worthy stuff.

Though poor Fitz, he was quite down
in the dumps afterwards.

But I had to protect myself,
switch to the long game.

Will there be another opportunity
to acquire the Darkhold?

After today...

they're never gonna let me near it again.

Which is why I'm counting on her
to get it for me.

I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am
about all of this, Agent May.

But it's for a good cause.

The situation requires drastic measures.

I think we might need to adjust her
propofol levels.

Up her dosage by 50 milligrams,
see how that takes.

Relax, Agent May.

I promise you, everyone at S.H.I.E.L.D.
is doing just fine.

We must be patient.

And soon enough...

everyone will get exactly what they want.
