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

I have orders
to kill him.

Put the gun down now!

We had the father of Hydra
right in front of us.

Shooting Freddy would've
given the Chronicoms

exactly what they wanted.

Our mission
is to stop them.

Is that clear?

In 1955, there was a classified
project called Helius.

[ Rumbling ]

Deke: If that thing goes off,
it could take out --

The entire brain trust
of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Arrest that man...

[ Quietly ]
Agent Sousa...

...whoever he is.

Wow. Big fan.

They designed this EMP
all wrong,

but if I can
get it working --

We can blackout Helius?
[ Exhales sharply ]
Hope so.

[ Grunts ]

Simmons: Here we go.

[ Powers down ]

Yo-Yo: It's what they do
when you win.

They self-destruct.

[ Sighs ] Damn it.

We need a medic
for these two men or...

at least that one.

Coulson: Fate.

I don't believe in it.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

But I know history.

I know how
the story goes.

And when it's playing out
right in front of you,

it feels like
you can't escape it.

That fate's gonna
catch up to you,

tap you on the shoulder,

that your time's up.

That day started in a fog.

My circuits
were crossed up.

Color had bled
from the world,

and I could hear my thoughts
pinging around my head.

I could break
those cuffs easy...

but something told me
to hold off.

Sousa: [ Garbled ]
Right after everyone arrived,

everything went
haywire.

The base was infiltrated,
my test was sabotaged.

[ Normal voice ]
And my contact --

the scientist --
he's dead.

Niles Lindmore turned out
to be a hostile.

July 22, 1955.

My head was ringing
like a bell,

but that date
rang a louder one.

That was the day that made
Daniel Sousa a legend.

Every recruit
learned about it.

His final mission.

He delivered a groundbreaking
S.H.I.E.L.D. device

to Howard Stark,

kept it from falling
into Russian hands.

And then he was killed.

[ Gunshot ]

This was the day
Daniel Sousa became

the first fallen
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He lives.

I heard enough
to know that this day

had been knocked
off course.

Time for some answers.

Start with your name.

I had to cook up a story
to get things on track.

Fortunately,
I'd already read this one

in the history books.

Name's not important.

What's important is
I'm your contact.

Remember I kept telling you
what a fan I was?

That was me waving a hand
in your face.

First, you're a big shot
from the DoD,

now you're
a brilliant scientist?

Pardon me if I don't
believe a word you say.

Then why don't you ask
the dead guy?

He and I helped develop

the gadget
you're supposed to deliver,

but then
he turned traitor,

sold it
to the Russkies.

I came to the base
to track him down.

You saw the moment
he found out I was onto him.

Those weren't
your everyday fisticuffs.

That typical for
a couple of scientists?

These aren't
typical times.

Lindmore would agree,

seeing as he melted like
the Wicked Witch of the East.

You mean West.

And I can't answer
for Lindmore.

I didn't see it.

Now, you want to play
Twenty Questions,

or should we get this package
to Howard Stark?

Maybe the mention of Stark
sold him,

or maybe he heard
the clock ticking.

[ Sighs deeply ]

[ Cane thuds ]
Where is it?

The package?

I didn't bring it
to the base.

Too many variables
in play.

Well, time
is one of them.

I got to get it
on a train.

To Los Angeles.
I know.

Tell me what train
and let me make a call.

My contact
will bring it to us.

Us?

The plan was for me
to chaperone the gadget,

not a scientist.

It seems like you got
a new plan now.

I couldn't use a 1950s phone

to dial

Sorry, Enoch,

we'll have to link up

Right now, I'm hoping
you have a way

to get a message
to the Zephyr.

It's urgent.

I can do
better than that.

I can transfer you

this hard-ass,

he thought I was gonna be
his whipping boy,

and he also said something about
how my face made him angry.

I got through
to the team, filled them in.

Coulson: Even if it wasn't
the way they intended,

the Chronicoms may have
altered history.

When they took
the body of Dr. Lindmore,

who happened to be
working on technology

vital to the future
of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Okay, so,
just to clarify,

the history books say
that tonight,

Sousa delivers that thing
and then he -- he dies?

Unfortunately, yes.

[ Sighs ] So...

Lindmore's body is somewhere
with his face erased.

And that's where
the device would be.

We need to find
his address.

Coulson, as soon as we do,

I'll send a team
to retrieve this gadget

and bring it to you
on the train.

You'll find me
in the lounge car

on the 5:10
to Los Angeles.

[ Engine rumbling ]

Yo-Yo and Deke
hit the road

to retrieve
the S.H.I.E.L.D. gadget

from Dr. Lindmore's home.

You're quiet.

Still don't have very much
driving experience.

I'm great on a scooter,
though.

In the '50s,

were women allowed
to drive?

Yes, of course.
Why would you --

I'm sorry!
I don't know.

I mean, we were just
in the '30s

and they were
really stylish,

but it was...
so sexist and racist.

But the '50s, though...

...are still pretty sexist
and racist.

It always gets better,
just never fast enough.

And some things
never change.

Can't hurt to try,
though.

Well, it could...

if we lose control
of the timeline

and it goes skidding
off the road.

So, that's not

Yep.

Maybe there was something
we could do about Sousa.

Question was,

could we get to him
before his killer did?

Job is done.

No more prying eyes.

He didn't have
the package, though.

Sousa completed his mission.
Died a hero.

Just like what's in
the history book.

But not everything's
in the book.

Obviously, the answer
to the question,

"Could we get to him
before his killer..."

I thought I shook you.
...was yes.

This'll make sense later.
Maybe.

Turns out being an LMD
has its perks,

like taking two in the back
without a fuss.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

And being able to spend
some time underwater.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

You got here fast.

Simmons: We flew here
as soon as we heard.

Where are
the usual guys?

Day off.

Alright.

Just get the body out of there
before we're all soaked.

[ Monitors beeping ]
How's Sousa?

Still sleeping it off.

It's gonna be
quite a hangover.

It felt good
to dry out.

It felt good to be
back on the plane.

It was going to feel
even better

when my system
was restored to --
[ Static crackles ]

How's that?
[ Devices beeping ]

Better.

Thanks.

And you're not
still hearing it?

Internal monologue's
gone.

Everything's back
to normal.

Whatever...

that is.

I get nothing
off of him.

Time to buckle up.

[ Groans ]

You left this
behind.

Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah, just got a good look
at the status quo.

Not a fan.

Well, maybe next time
we have the chance to change it,

we do.

I'm in.

Here we go.
[ Monitors beeping ]

Wish we didn't
have to leave Enoch.

Me, too,
but he's 3,000 miles away.

He's a Chronicom,
though.

So he'll be wherever
we're headed to next,

which I hope is home.

What did

An ICER.

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

Future S.H.I.E.L.D.

We're in a fight against
body-snatching robots
from another planet

who want to wipe us out
and take the Earth.

The melting man you saw
was one of them.

[ Cane thuds ]

Why didn't you lead
with that?

Do I really
have to answer?

You'd be surprised
what I've seen.

I sort of doubt that.

[ Sighs ]

We weren't sure how
to handle your situation.

What's my situation?

You're dead.

I don't feel so hot,
but I know I'm not dead.

Well, history says
you are.

You were shot
after delivering that gadget.

I can show you
the files.

You're a hero.

So, congrats, and...

condolences.

I'm not dead.

We didn't change history,
we just took you out of it,

faked your death.

You're alive, literally,

but to anyone
not on this plane,

you were killed
at that hotel.

I'm sorry.

Welcome to life
after death.

I'll tell you
all about it.

This plane,
it's how you time travel?

Yep.

So the bump
that woke me up...

Let me guess,
we're not in 1955 anymore.

Nope.

Luke: Oh, not necessary,

I have been left behind
to help you.

You're the man
who called,

told me Sousa
was on the train.

You and I share an enemy,
Mr. Malick.

The only difference

is that mine
is from the future.

I think I might've met
one of them.

You certainly did.

As it is certain

S.H.I.E.L.D. will destroy

It is time

How?

By doing exactly...
