Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S4E14 "The Man Behind The Shield" Recap

Many years prior, Coulson and May were tasked with retrieving an item from a Russian outpost which resulted in them defeating an SVR team that Ivanov was on. As a result, those SVR agents were tortured and killed with the exception of Ivanov. As an extension of his revenge, Ivanov forces S.H.I.E.L.D. to go on a treasure hunt that takes them all over the world to various places including that outpost in order to find Mace. Ivanov beats and tortures Mace because of his actions to try to be like the Inhumans. The team eventually reach Ivanov, whom Daisy overpowers, while Coulson and Mack rescue Mace just before he is killed by Ivanov's thugs. Fitz and Simmons work to try to locate the Framework in order to find May but are unable to do so. The team returns to the base while Aida comes across an injured Ivanov. Fitz and Simmons had installed an LMD security system and discover that four of the agents on their team were replaced by LMDs, including Coulson.
