Episode 9:

AIDA takes off her bloody jacket. She has 3 bullet holes in her. She cleans up and changes clothes. May's waking up. AIDA will play music, and arrange for more comfortable accommodations, but I must keep you hidden until your substitute has served her purpose. Unfortunately, you'll have to stay here for now.

Robot May in the meeting with Mace. Phil's going to get rid of the Darkhold. He wants AIDA's hard drive erased. Fitz and Radcliffe aren't happy about it. Mack says robots rise up and go kill crazy. Radcliffe agrees better to be safe than sorry. Mace says it's an order.

The Inhuman? wanders a house after waking. Nice place. Looks outside. Nadir is here. He had dreamed about Mom's birthday. She says he was in the cocoon 7 months. He asks what is this place? She says she needed a place to be alone with him.

Daisy and Simmons discuss him. Simmons is happy Daisy is here to talk to again. Fitz is distracted with AIDA. Director wants a word with Daisy.

He says he saved her from prison. Public was turning against you. Now they love you, you're welcome. He tries again. Read her statement and believes it. Makes a bad joke to break the ice. He says they're a team now. Team trust. Hope we can earn it back, tackle problems. She says the Watchdogs have ties to the gov't. He wants to chase facts. Nadir has an Inhuman held against his will. You, me, and Simmons - wheels up in 10. We're going to rescue him.

AIDA wasn't expecting them. She says Fitz looks sad. He says it's fine. Radcliffe shuts her off. She's awake. You came here to end my life. Radcliffe says no, we only wanted to make a few upgrades. She attacks them. Is shot. Again and again. I didn't like feeling pain so I fixed that. Why do you want to hurt me, Leopold? I was your shield. She tosses Fitz through a door and he sees the dead agent.

Nadir made him his favorite breakfast. He thought she'd sell the place. Last house Dad designed before he died. She says it's the perfect place for him to recover. What happened to you in that cocoon? He says dark, lonely. I could only hear your voice. If it hadn't been for that SHIELD scientist.... She says they're why the world has problems. He says there you go, painting with a broad brush again. How about me go on a walk?

There's a team that's going to shoot to kill for Nadir.

Mack and Robot May and Coulson. Fitz and Radcliffe. The Darkhold corrupted AIDA. May says I shouldn't have let her near that thing. Doc says don't be so hard on yourself. Mack calls him a dummy for building it. Coulson wonders what AIDA wants? Doctor says to live.

Simmons and Mace and Daisy. Simmons apologizes for lying about AIDA. Mace apologizes for the bag over her head. Daisy asks how do we find the senator and her brother? We need a covert way in.

Simmons fakes a Southern accent at the senator's office. Mace is impressed. Daisy says I think Simmons has been kidnapped 3 times. But only twice on this planet.

Simmons cover is blown. She's attacked.

Simmons defends herself. Daisy asks if she's okay? She gets his cell phone.

Nadir's brother thanks her for bringing her here. She apologizes. Strike team appears. She's anti-alien. We made each other a promise. He says I'm not an Inhuman, I'm your brother. Look at me Ellen, please. I heard your voice telling me to fight. I was fighting! It didn't change me. I beat it like you said I could. I'm your brother. I've always looked up to you, always loved you. Please don't give up on me now. I swear. trust me, trust me. This is not what Mom would want. She says let him go. Let him go! He hugs her and thanks her.

Robot May in HQ. She sent AIDA's photos to authorities. Mack calls it a sexbot. Radcliffe says he was only friends with her. AIDA can read her GPS history. That's bad. Phones go berserk. Coulson answers. Mack is freaked. AIDA wants the book. Coulson says no. She's in the system. Fitz and Radcliffe go. Mack and YoYo will protect the base. She says robots always attack. Smart people are stupid.

Coulson and May go to lock down the entrance and AIDA's there. She attacks him. Knocks Coulson out. May says you're not getting that book. AIDA shuts her down. I need your help. She cuts Robot May.

May, wake up. Coulson with her. They woke up in here. Electronic lock on the door.

Fitz says AIDA was angry. Radcliffe says it's mimicry. Fitz says what if the Darkhold made her emotions real. It would explain why she's acting counter to the programming. She's overwhelmed. Radcliffe feels guilty. Is she still just an android now? She has free will. How is she not a living being? How does it not make us murderers?

Nadir and the man argue about Veejay. He suspects she's Inhuman, too. Second man says they have company. Mace walks in with the girls. Daisy says the hex mag is a favorite among the Watchdogs. Mace says we do not wish you harm, but we have reason to think you're holding your brother against his will. She says does Talbot know you're here?

Strike team wants to eliminate the Inhuman.

Mack and YoYo and team. Quinjet on. It fires at them.

Coulson breaks the camera. May asks how many times have we been locked up together? Ever feel like you're living someone else's life? He says every day. She says you don't show it. He says he has a good poker face. She says you're terrible at poker. He doesn't take risks. She says maybe you should. May gets him to say the book is cloaked in Mace's office. Coulson says it was Mace's idea.

AIDA saw through May's eyes and finds the book.

Mack always worried robots would try to kill him one day. It's even in his life insurance. LOL

Fitz gets computer control again.

Coulson and May out.

AIDA, stop. Fitz and Radcliffe. Fitz says surrender the book. Everything will be fine, I promise. She says we both know that's not true. She's locked in. Nowhere to go.

Veejay wants his sister. Watchdogs attack and he's able to fight in fast forward. uess now we know what your power is.

They hear a gun shot.

AIDA regrets killing Nathanson. Darkhold showed me regret and desire. May says it made you dangerous. Mack beheads her. Roll credits. LOL. Fitz says sorry, AIDA. Coulson picks up the book.

Veejay still alive. Simmons and Mace find him. Senator comes in. He says I didn't know. Simmons says you need to come with us. Senator says SHIELD wants you to be a weapon. Simmons says i have friends just like you. Agents, it was their choice. Senator says trust me, we have to go now. Simmons pleads. Mace tells her Veejay had a choice. I'm sorry. You did everything you could. As did you.

In a chopper. Senator apologizes. Then shoots Veejay. We made each other a promise. Never question me again. Understood. We need to strike back at SHIELD. It's time the superior sends men of his own. Now get rid of the body.

YoYo and Mack discuss horror movies. Fitz digging in AIDA's head. Radcliffe's taking the loss hard. Mack says small wonder. LOL. Coulson leaving in the morning.

Radcliffe drinks to AIDA. AIDA's there! Is everything okay, doctor? He says we were so close! She had it in her hand, just couldn't get out with it. The Darkhold can show us how to live forever. She asks if it's possible without the book. He says no. AIDA played her part to perfection. Oscar worthy stuff. Poor Fitz. I had to switch to the long game. She asks if there will be another opportunity. He says no. It's why I'm counting on her to get it for me. May-bot. Up her dosage of propophyl by 50mg. Soon enough, everyone will get exactly what they want. He watches Robot May and Coulson eating together.

Chopper drops Veejay's body with a heavy bag attached. He floats to the bottom of the lake. And turns to rock?

Next - May vs. AIDA. Mace's briefcase. Talbot wants answers.
