Nitpick: it’s Cavalry. Agent May is not the hill where Jesus was crucified (as far as we know!). 
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.
I know! If only someone could figure out a way to patch through a phone call.
Does the CEO of Southwest Airlines handle his pilots’ radio traffic for them? Does a military commander patch himself through to enemy aircraft? Just seems odd.
Maybe they have a voice mode that makes EVERYONE sound like Whitehall? Dude’s such an egotist.
Maybe Whitehall has 13 twin brothers.
Daniel’s the tall one.
Of course they don’t. That sounds like something like a comic book villain would do.
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:
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.
So that’s what happened in Budapest.
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.
Back to the Tivo! 
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.”
I bow to reality.
How many hours until tonight’s episode?
Was it really 616? Nice inside joke.
The Bus has always had the designation 616, and yes, it is pretty cool.
