Malick is HYDRA. He was such a close friend/ally to Baron von Strucker that even Werner knew about him, and we know the good baron was very secretive about the HYDRA part of his life. Ward knows that "all others" (other heads of HYDRA) were afraid of Malick, and now Malick is openly advising Ward how to rebuild HYDRA.
