Invasion (2021) s01e08 Episode Script

He watches over you.
Your home awaits.
- Fuck.
- Sir! Sir!
- Sergeant, he wouldn't stop.
- Hey!
SOC Trevante Cole, US Navy SEAL.
I need your first plane back to America.
DC, Virginia, whatever the fuck you got.
- Okay?
- Chief, there is no next plane.
This is an air base, an airfield.
What the fuck you talking about?
It is here for the
defense of these people.
We certainly aren't flying
anyone or anything to the US.
Fine. I'll get on a commercial.
Private. Just whatever you got.
I don't think you comprehend.
No one's flying to the US.
There's no longer any operating
air traffic control system.
We just got here, sir.
And we've grounded you.
You're one of the lucky few.
We've lost more aircraft
than I care to count.
A bloody good number over the Atlantic.
Just get me a pilot, a plane or a
fucking manual is all I'm asking.
No one is leaving here. Not in
the air and not on the ground.
We have no planes, no transports, Chief.
- Sergeant, show him out.
- Don't fucking touch me.
Hey! Listen, I got a wife.
And she's waiting for me, okay?
- Sir.
- Please. I made a promise to her.
I've already come
halfway across the world,
and I'm not stopping now, okay?
I made a promise.
And I'm not about to let some
tight-ass British motherfucker
like you or him get in
the way of that happening.
Do you comprehend that, sir?
Airman, tell our gunners
that Chief Cole here is clear to
leave the perimeter as he wishes.
We will allow him his sidearm,
and we wish him Godspeed on his
journey to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
May he find a worthy sailboat.
Hey, Luke.
You got a special mom here.
He's a lot more special than I am.
Can I go? I don't wanna eat this.
You need to eat something.
Can I please just go?
- Where would you go?
- To Dad.
Okay. You will go right to him.
Mom, he's literally right there.
Right to him.
I will.
Hey, hey, hey.
Take your backpack and
keep it with you. Okay?
Take your food.
You're a good mom.
I don't know. I try.
I didn't know you had a family.
I have them.
Yeah.
I had a family.
Oh. I'm sorry. I
No, uh No, no, not from this.
Uh, it's been a few years.
Nothing happened, just
Highest rates among doctors and all.
Highest rates?
Divorce.
Mmm.
We made sense when we started.
Then things changed.
Or maybe I did.
I know what you mean.
I'm happy you found this place.
I mean, we need you here.
Doctor, you are smart.
You're skilled. You're instinctive.
We're all just making it up as we go.
Hey.
Can I show you something?
Hey.
I'm Jack.
Luke.
Wanna see something cool, Luke?
I mean, scary cool, but cool.
It's the part of the place
they don't want us to see.
They're lying to you.
Whatever they've told you.
If you don't free me,
if you don't help me,
the whole world will die.
Everyone you care about will die.
You hear me?
What's your name?
Coward.
How many times do I
need to tell you to
are you stupid?
Give us the room.
Please.
You?
I didn't have a choice.
We need immediate access to the
Hoshi-12 communications system.
I was seconds from contact!
- You stopped me
- We have fixed coordinates.
They're locked on.
We need access.
"Fixed coordinates"?
It's in geo-sync orbit.
It's being held.
By them.
It's the only contact.
The Hoshi-12 is the only
communications channel we have up there.
What's left of the Hoshi-12.
I won't give them anything.
She's gone.
Please.
Don't do this to yourself.
The Hoshi mission is over.
This is something else now.
To you maybe.
This is bigger than us.
There may be nobody left to save.
Tell them I'm the only chance
they have at making contact.
They know that
And I'm only helping
if I'm the one making contact.
I don't think you're in
a position to negotiate.
I don't think you have any other choice.
Tell them.
She'll run the comms team.
Unless you want
to waste six hours tripping
the security lockout
protocols she's installed.
Then let's move.
Bring her team in.
"Lockout protocols"?
Like you said. We need you.
This is how it always is.
Is Is that Dettol?
Mum?
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Come on. Fu
Okay.
Come on. Fuck it. Come on.
Work, work, work. Come on, work.
You worked before. Come on.
Okay. Fucking work.
Work.
It should work. Work.
Uh
421-6274.
Pick up, pick up, pick up.
Pick up.
- Hey.
- Rah! Hey! It's Trev. Rah! Hello?
I don't even know if
you're gonna hear this
But I don't have cell, and this
is the only landline I know, so
I guess you know
there's no work anymore.
Everyone's hiding. Everyone's running.
But maybe you'll call here anyway.
They're making us all leave. It's bad.
I don't know what's gonna
happen or where I'll be, so
I can't promise I'm not scared.
I know you're worried.
I know you are, 'cause you worry a lot
even when you're not here.
And that's okay.
I worry about you too. I'm
always worried about you.
- Trev?
- Yeah?
This is a war we can't win.
And I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad at what happened to us.
Because I didn't do that.
You didn't do that.
And And there was nothing
you could do, except
except maybe be here with me.
And I know why you aren't. I know.
And And like I
said, I'm not mad, I
Maybe I am. Maybe I am mad.
I'm mad because I love you.
I will always love you.
And I will always love him.
Me too.
Love doesn't die, Trev.
People do sometimes.
And I guess
Oh.
I'm in London. I I mean, I
don't really know where I am. I
I don't know where
I'm going. I'm just
I love him.
I love him too.
I can't stop loving him.
It hurts.
And I'm scared.
2,000
There's no planes, Rah.
No people, just just
nothing. The world's over.
It's
Now it's just me and you.
I want you to know that
I'm I'm there with you.
I'm holding you. I'm touching you.
I'm telling you that I love you.
I'm telling you I love you
when you're yelling at me in
the kitchen under the light,
throwing all types of shit
at me 'cause you're mad.
Right?
And that's okay.
You're That's okay.
Because I'm telling you that I'm
sorry, and that I mean it this time.
And maybe you'll
And maybe you'll give me another chance.
And I'm holding you, you know.
And I'm telling you I love you.
I love you.
I love you. I love you.
I really love you.
Don't be scared, baby. I'm here.
You remember when you
used to have scary dreams
and you'd sleep with me and Mommy?
Remember what I told you?
That dreams aren't real.
Mm-hmm.
It's just like watching
movies in your head.
Yes.
And I sang you our song
and then you'd fall asleep,
and then you'd wake up in your own bed.
And you stopped having
those bad dreams, right?
So you don't have to be
afraid of falling asleep.
I'm not afraid of
falling asleep anymore.
I'm afraid of staying awake.
Where's Mommy?
Uh, she went with Luke.
Just to eat.
- She's safe?
- She's here. Yeah.
She's here, and we're here.
We're all together here.
Military's taken most
of the useful stuff.
We had to race out of there. Up
here, we got no real equipment.
If anything else happens, another
attack happens, we're left with
Antiseptics and Band-Aids.
We need people who can improvise now.
I think that's you.
You think?
I know.
How do you know so much about me?
I know you're a survivor.
I know you're good with your hands.
I know you're a good mom.
I know you're not wearing your ring.
Are you okay?
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Um, did you see a
woman and a boy in here?
A lot of people fit that description.
Oh, yeah. Um, he's he's he's
ten, and she she'll look like us.
They with another guy?
Maybe.
The boy left that way.
I didn't see where the other two went.
- Daddy?
- Yeah? Yeah, baby?
All right, thanks.
Okay, baby.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. I shouldn't
- Don't.
Think I just got overwhelmed and
That was nice.
I haven't been kissed
like that in a long time.
Yeah.
I haven't kissed anyone
like that in a long time.
You're a
You're a very good doctor.
I'm not a doctor.
I mean, I was going to be.
I went to med school, but I'm a mom.
I'm a mom.
You're a mom who saved
your family's lives.
You got them here on your own.
It wasn't me.
We would've died without it.
Without what?
See?
It's cool, right?
The aliens kill them
and then they put that stuff on them.
My dad says the aliens
are gonna kill everyone.
Guns don't work on them.
Nothing works on them.
My mom killed one.
You're lying.
I'm not.
No way. How?
How could she kill one?
We got no time.
We need to learn their language.
We need to talk to them
so they understand us.
And we need that shuttle
comms channel to do it.
We might be all that stands
between life as we know it
and the end of all existence.
Does she speak English?
Japanese.
Fujimoto-san,
I need to transmit from the terminal.
Tell me what she's doing.
Tell me what you're doing.
Can you please tell
me what you are doing?
- He demands to know.
- I'm sending a command.
To open the shuttle comms channel.
Or
do you prefer being locked out?
Hopefully, we understand them
better than we understand each other.
Shuttle comms are open.
They can hear us now.
Tell me about your mum.
I wanna meet her.
Um Um
She couldn't stand.
But
It was like she was always taller
than everyone else, you know?
Yeah.
Uh
Sh-she would
She would never tell me if I messed up.
I messed up a lot.
All the time.
She would buy dresses from the '60s.
She'd listen to Kate Bush.
Cyndi Lauper.
DEVO. And they're all really annoying.
We used to fight about it.
She's right. Kate Bush is ace.
Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Nuh-uh.
God, she'd like you.
I like her.
Me too.
If I was here
- I would've killed it.
- You couldn't.
Yes, I could.
I know I could.
I know I could like I know
we're gonna go and find your mum.
You don't know where my mum is.
Yes, I do. Okay.
She's at the hospital where
she works. Like you said.
We have to go there.
- Why?
- I have to go.
- Okay?
- Why, Casp?
I have to go there because I
could've done something. Okay?
I could've stopped it.
I still can.
I think I can.
Casp.
What could you do? Hmm?
I saw them. That satellite and this.
What is this?
I don't just see it
when it happens, okay?
I taste it. I breathe it.
I feel it closing in on me, you know?
Like It's It's dark.
And whenever it happens,
it's like something else
behind the darkness, uh, moving.
I ran from it.
I've been running from it.
And then it came here.
I'm not gonna run from it anymore.
No more meds.
I need to talk to it.
"Talk to it"?
Look, I can.
I know I can.
I If I
Have a seizure.
Yeah.
One that doesn't stop.
You can't make that happen.
The hospital can.
They killed my mum.
So, you're gonna kill them? Hmm?
- How?
- I I don't know.
Okay? But I will. I will. I I know
it. I I feel it.
I've been feeling it.
And now I know.
It's me against them.
You coming?
Does the queen shit in heels?
Let's kill 'em all.
Can you respond?
Recursiveness is the
foundation of all speech.
We won't be able to talk to them
unless we can decipher their rules.
We need that to find a shared meaning.
Can't just choose words.
All they ever do is fight.
I could help, if I knew what it was
Training parallel neural
nets using live input
to approximate the signal data format,
so we can encode any data format back.
right.
Machine translation?
They've sent entire dictionaries.
And no change in signal.
No matter what we send.
No response from what's
holding that shuttle.
Or the crew.
You told Hashimoto before you told me.
About you
and her.
Should I have told you?
Well
You don't own any part of me.
No one does.
Not you.
Not my mother.
Not my father.
Not JASA.
Only her.
We all have someone
we care about more than anyone else.
I have you.
I don't understand it.
That's because it's my language.
Maybe they'll speak it.
It's like another mile
to the hospital if we just cut across.
There's one of them.
No. We can't stop.
Come here.
Hey.
Help. Help us.
Hey, you're a soldier.
Help us.
I'm an operator, kid.
Soldiers are Never mind.
Sir.
Um
I need to get to the hospital. Now.
No. I'm not going to
another fucking hospital
as long as I fucking live.
Okay? And hopefully that's
not too long from now.
- Get outta here.
- No.
Fuck him.
Wait.
I said, "I need to get
to the hospital, now."
- Do you see what's happening out there?
- I've seen some shit, kid,
that you have no idea about.
I've seen more than you.
Seen more than me?
"I've seen more than you."
Come on, come on. All right, yeah?
Yeah? You've seen more than me?
Fuck you seen? Hmm?
I saw them.
But I saw them before
they even got here.
I saw things that could've stopped them.
In my head, all right.
I need to get to the hospital.
You're a soldier and you can take us.
- Operator.
- Operator.
Same thing.
Look.
It's nice. It's cute.
Nice coloring book.
I said, "Look."
Aren't you guys supposed to be
in school or some shit? Jesus.
What am I looking for?
This is nice. Cute.
Cool.
What's that?
I told you.
When I seize, I I I see.
Yeah, but what's that?
I I don't know. I just saw it.
Saw it how?
I see things when I seizure, okay?
And sometimes, my seizures, they're
big, really big. Things like
- And when when did you do this?
- Three or four days ago.
On the bus that night.
It was soldiers. Just shapes.
And then they were gone. That's all.
You gonna stare at pictures
or you gonna help us?
All right.
All right, let's go. Come on.
Come on, let's go. Come
on, let's go. Let's go.
- I'm sure they're with him.
- I'm sorry. I can't.
Angela.
Luke!
I thought I lost you.
You stay back.
Is he yours?
Luke?
Luke.
One A is showing the
same defensive response.
Closing and hardening with contact.
No. No progress on communication.
- Sir, yes, sir.
- Pressure still increasing.
2.1. Still increasing. Point two.
- Understood.
- No reaction.
Point three.
No, sir. I won't tell anyone.
- Same as the others.
- Understood.
Thank you, sir.
Keeps growing.
Los Angeles has gone dark.
Yamato -san.
Your job is only to keep signals open.
You've done that.
Let the linguists work.
They'll never figure out their language.
They don't have a language.
Not like ours.
We'll never understand them.
I thought the neural net
could decode for us but,
the pattern changes.
Too complex.
Too intelligent.
Smarter than us.
Smarter than me.
So then
what are you doing?
Transmitting.
Transmitting?
Files.
What files?
What files, Mitsuki?
What are you doing?
I had a dream we were in a band.
But we didn't play music.
There was a microphone, but
What is this?
My daughter.
We were the most famous
band in the world.
There is the sun.
I feel so good.
Wake up!
Mitsuki!
See, kids are playing.
It's thousands of these.
Videos. Pictures.
All of her.
What have you done?
Converted.
To their format.
Let them
see us.
What?
Sending on all frequencies
on the dish I commandeered.
Oh, look at those flowers
with beautiful colors!
It's okay. Mitsuki.
It's okay.
Stop the transmission.
It's already been sent.
Are we all going to die?
Because she sent that?
Because,
no one down here could figure
out how to break through
all this noise.
But,
we would have tried.
It's morning.
This is a park bench.
Look! Everyone is walking.
Kids are cute.
And this is a tree. See?
It's about to bloom, isn't it?
And the grass.
The sun is up in the sky.
It's fun to walk, isn't it?
Walk and talk.
See?
The sun is up high in the
sky and shining brightly.
Look, look, this.
Wake up already!
I'll get pissed!
I'll come to you!
Wajo. Wajo. Wajo.
Wajo. Wajo. Wajo.
Wajo.
Hinata?
