Infiltration into the Russian Inhuman Sanctuary

"If Malick and his Russian patsy want to build some Inhuman Sanctuary, why not build it someplace nice and sunny?" "Same reason they don't put a prison camp in Malibu. "Not in my backyard"."

- Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson

The Infiltration into the Russian Inhuman Sanctuary was an attempt by S.H.I.E.L.D. to investigate HYDRA leader Gideon Malick's involvement in the creation of the Russian Inhuman Sanctuary.

Background
"We're in the belly of the beast. We'll call you when we land."

- Lance Hunter to Phil Coulson

During the Symposium on Alien Contagion, Russian representative Anton Petrov suggested to create an Inhuman Sanctuary in which Inhumans coming from all over the globe would be gathered in order to form an independent community for their own safety. Actually, Petrov intended to use these Inhumans, along with his fellow minister General Androvich, who happened to be an Inhuman as well, to overthrow the Russian Prime Minister Dimitri Olshenko.

Petrov's received the support of the HYDRA leader Gideon Malick, who was also pursuing the creation of an Inhuman army to be commanded by the ancient Inhuman Hive who had been brought back from Maveth. Malick and Petrov decided to cooperate for the creation of the Inhuman Sanctuary, which was located in an isolated area of Siberia. Unbeknownst to them, however, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse had infiltrated their plane and followed them all along.

"Find out what Malick's up to and get back to me. And keep a low profile."

Aftermath
"Someone must pay for what happened here. And it will not be me."

- Dimitri Olshenko

Due to President Matthew Ellis' personal intervention, Interpol stepped in for the interrogation of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse, who were taken to the Interpol Black Site. Even when faced with the threat of losing each other, Hunter and Morse denied working for S.H.I.E.L.D., who was still labeled as a terrorist organization. Phil Coulson personally joined them in the interrogation room and scrambled with the communications, enabling them to openly talk about S.H.I.E.L.D. without anyone being able to hear them. Hunter and Morse chose to leave the agency to protect it. Hunter and Morse were publicly disavowed, keeping them from having further contact with their former colleagues. However, while they were drinking at Teddy's Bar, they spotted their friends who offered them drinks and silently bid them farewell from a distance during an emotional spy's goodbye. Hunter and Morse would thus carry on their lives without S.H.I.E.L.D., even nearly getting married once again.
