I also think Whitehall will be harder to kill than we think. When Mack and Bobbie were talking in the cockpit I was thinking “Two can keep a secret as long as one of them is dead”. I figured he was doomed at that point. ---

Maybe Whitehall has 13 twin brothers. ---

Just a note on the end of this thread to say that the Gawker website io9 has a spoiler-free note that tomorrow’s mid-season finale episode is going to be really good: > **[Tomorrow Night's Agents of SHIELD Will Blow Your Goddamn Mind](https://gizmodo.com/tomorrow-nights-agents-of-shield-will-blow-your-goddamn-1668246929)** > > This fall's episodes of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD have been pretty crazy with the twists and the reveals, but tomorrow night's episode — the last until the spring — blows the lid off everything. We saw it, and here are our spoiler-free impressions. ---

Going back and rewatching the episode I’m pretty sure the voice on the radio was Ward. I’m also certain Mack isn’t dead (yet.) Anybody who can take 4 or 5 shots in the back at close range isn’t going to be hurt by a little fall. Hell, landing on the runes at the bottom of the pit just might make him _stronger_. ---

Was’nt Mockingbird married to Barton in the comics? Maybe thats the big secret. ---

Anybody who can take 4 or 5 shots in the back at close range isn’t going to be hurt by a little fall. Hell, landing on the runes at the bottom of the pit just might make him _stronger_. No way it’s Ward - doesn’t sound anything like him. It’s definitely Whitehall - in fact, as soon as the radio announces “SHIELD 616. Do not engage your defenses or you will be shot out of the sky” May turns to Skye and says “Whitehall.” If it was Ward, you’d think they would have recognized his voice and commented on THAT, instead of being surprised that he’s now working for Hydra as he walked down the steps. ---

I’m watching online and on a DVR, so I can listen to voice samples of each character and compare it with the radio message. Absolutely not Ward, and if it isn’t Whitehall, it’s someone who sounds frighteningly like him. The message itself implies it’s directly from him too - “You have someone aboard that I want. A woman named Raina. I’m going to send over a representative to get her.” ---

The Bus has always had the designation 616, and yes, it is pretty cool. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-s02e09-ye-who-enter-here-open-spoilers/706185.md?page=1)
