Invasion (2021) s03e03 Episode Script

["Animal" plays]
[laughing]
- But I think I told her that.
- [chuckling] Yeah.
- No?
- Yeah, you did.
- Ry, honey.
- Yeah?
This yellow one has nuts.
Make sure Miss Denise knows.
- Sure.
- Mmm.
This is amazing. What's in this?
- It's, uh, aubergine and kashk.
- Mmm.
It's like dairy.
- You want some?
- Yes. Thank you.
- Mmm. Mm-hmm.
- It's good, huh?
- So good. [chuckles]
- I know.
Dad! Dad! Dad.
You have to talk Mom into
letting me have a turtle.
A yellow-bellied slider like Isabelle's.
They can be friends.
[sighs] I don't think aquatic turtles
are the kind of pets
you can take over for a play date, honey.
Mr. Evans, check it out. No braces.
Looking good, Jack.
Hey, you owe me a quiz.
Lunch, Monday.
- Okay, turtles.
- Turtles.
Stepped right off that third step.
You know the one on the back porch?
Bert, I want you to come to the hospital
tomorrow so I can take a look.
I will be there around 8:00.
What time will you be there?
No, Doc, I don't want to be a bother now.
No, no. It's no bother.
And I don't like that swelling.
[pedestrian]
Hey, they're getting ready to start!
[crowd cheering]
[Aneesha] There weren't block parties
when we moved here a year ago.
- No, there weren't. [chuckles]
- [guitar playing]
- About time though, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Check, check, one, two.
- Hey, you.
- Hi.
[Sarah] Ew!
[Aneesha] Hey!
[in Farsi]
Sarah, is your sleepover bag packed?
It's under the stairs.
[in English] He's so happy.
He's not the only one.
Hey, Dad.
- Hey. Hi. Do we have some more dips?
- [music continues]
Yeah, yeah.
In the fridge, second shelf on the right.
- Come, I'll show you.
- Wait. Wait.
Blue hoodie, 11 o'clock.
- Okay. [clears throat]
- Mm-hmm.
Kyra. She's in his algebra class.
Do not tell Luke that I told you.
- They're so cute.
- Mmm.
[Aneesha] Biology and Organic Chemistry
in one semester is a lot.
I just wanna
get the prerequisites over with.
You think it's too much?
No, I just think there's no rush.
What about that poetry seminar?
No, the sooner I get into medical school,
the sooner I can do something useful.
Ryder, this is useful.
What you're doing is useful.
Just have fun, meet new people,
do new things.
You're gonna be an amazing doctor.
The world is lucky to have you.
But, like, don't short yourself on youth,
on parties, on poetry.
You know,
your generation had to grow up too fast.
And now you need to teach yourself
to slow down.
Just try.
For me.
Okay. I'll try.
Thank you.
You know,
you're kinda failing at the stereotype.
Most parents would be proud
I'm so goal-oriented.
I'm proud.
I am proud no matter what.
[doorbell ringing]
This must be Jenny.
Can you grab Sarah's bag?
- Yep.
- She said it's, uh, under the stairs.
Okay.
[tense music plays]
Hey.
Can we come in?
I can watch them.
Bring them back later.
Ten minutes to myself? I'll take it.
[chuckles]
You're an angel.
[Trevante] What you did
back in Idabel two years ago,
I've only seen something
like that before once.
Caspar Morrow.
Yeah, he can do that.
You know, just get to the aliens' minds,
see through 'em.
Connect.
I'm not like him.
- I'm just…
- A kid?
Yeah.
He was a kid too.
Brave kid.
A little too brave.
I kinda feel like him and you right now,
you know?
I mean, I can't do what you can do,
but ever since I got back,
I had these images in my head.
These things that I can't get out. And…
[sighs] I mean, they keep nagging at me,
you know?
Things that I gotta remember.
Things that are important.
I mean, I know they are.
You ever, um, feel like that?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Like I said,
I can't just tap in like that.
So I was hoping maybe you could help?
How?
So, Jamila here
was actually a friend of Caspar's.
She was with him the entire time
when it all went down.
When he died.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right.
We wanna show you something.
See if it sparks anything.
If you remember anything.
Would that be okay?
I don't know.
We put this all behind us. You know?
I… [sighs]
I'm sorry for what you've been through.
And I'm grateful. We're all grateful
for everything that you did to save us,
but we've been through a lot too.
[Trevante] I understand.
I do.
But I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't important.
Maybe… [clears throat]
Luke should decide.
Hey.
We show this to you
and then we'll be gone.
Okay?
This is Caspar's brain activity
minutes before he died.
[Aneesha] This can't be right.
Are you sure this is Caspar's?
[Jamila] Yeah. Of course I'm sure.
You a doctor?
Yes, and…
this activity,
a singular event-spike like this…
Even the morphology, the amplitude…
Doesn't make sense.
WDC doctors looked at this?
Mmm.
What were their conclusions?
Caspar had epilepsy.
They think it was a Tonic-Clonic seizure
brought on by whatever happened up there.
What do you think?
I'm no doctor.
But?
But yeah, I think it's shit.
I think it's just them
saying they don't know
and making up an answer
so they can be done thinking about it.
Put the past behind them, you know?
You recognize it?
Does it mean anything to you?
Um, I actually…
- [sighs]
- [Luke] I haven't heard anything.
Not since the mothership crashed.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
Can you just look at it one more time?
Is that possible? Please.
Just one more time.
- He… He said he's sure.
- Just look one more time for me. Okay?
Luke, buddy, why don't you head out?
Home by 10:00, okay?
Yeah, okay.
Nice meeting you, Mr. Cole. Jamila.
[Jamila] Yeah. You guys are sounding
wicked out there.
Thanks.
[door closes]
[Trevante sighs]
I need to show you something.
[tense music plays]
One minute.
Here it is, here it is.
Infinitas leaked data from
the portal sites a few days ago.
It's been going around.
Infinitas?
He's this… [groans]
Nobody knows who he is.
He leaks government documents
about the aliens, the mothership,
activity in the Dead Zone around the ship.
A lot of conspiracy theorists follow him,
but seems pretty real to me.
- And the WDC hasn't caught him?
- No.
He's a ghost.
Or several ghosts.
Here.
This is the only known photo of him here.
At least, people think that's him.
No way to know for sure.
And there's so much more.
People sensing messages
coming from the hunter-killers.
Reports of bodies found at
the edge of the Dead Zone.
Threads about a mothership master plan.
[Trevante] That is a lot.
[Clark] A lot more since you came back.
You know a lot about this.
Do you teach it in your class
or something?
No, he doesn't.
Here, here, here. Here it is.
Okay. This frequency emanated
from all the portals
approximately three minutes
before you returned from the mothership.
It was recorded, uh,
dismissed as a random ripple.
It happens sometimes.
But then, exactly three minutes
and four seconds later,
you appear.
Now look at this.
- May I?
- Mm-hmm.
How is that possible?
[Clark] I have no idea.
- [Trevante] What the hell does it mean?
- [Clark] I don't know.
I mean, that's all they got on it.
At least, everything I've seen.
Hey, guys, look.
Meetings for Infinitas followers.
[Trevante] Where?
There. Baker City. That's two hours away.
10:00 tomorrow morning.
Perfect. That's where we're going next.
I…
don't think that's a good idea.
These people can be dangerous.
By the time the Movement disbanded,
there were
some pretty extreme factions forming.
Most of us,
we just wanted to go back to normal,
but some people they…
they couldn't accept
that the war was over.
- Yeah, we can take care of ourselves.
- Yeah, what the kid said.
I'm not a kid.
Okay. Listen.
I think it's time for us to go.
We don't want to draw any more heat here.
We'll go back to the motel tonight.
Head out to Baker City in the morning.
Thanks for this, man.
Yeah, I'll show you out.
Let me know what you find out.
If I can, yeah.
[sighs] See you around then.
- It was good seeing you, Trevante.
- You too.
I'm glad you found
what you were looking for.
All right.
Clark.
- Clark.
- Yeah, yeah.
I'll grab our stuff.
[neighbors chattering]
[neighbor] Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Okay. Don't stay up all night.
That's for both of you.
Yeah, and thank Jenny for me, okay?
[speaking Farsi]
[phone beeps, locks]
[Clark sighs] Jenny's a saint for taking
them after 10:00 p.m. s'mores.
Yeah, or a masochist.
I'll bring her a gallon
of coffee tomorrow morning.
Not even close.
[both sighing]
I-I thought we agreed
to stay away from that world.
We did.
We are.
Well…
You have been spending some time online.
A lot of time.
I mean, enough to recognize
that frequency on sight.
Well, it's just something I came
across the other day.
It's nothing.
I don't make contact, I just read.
Read and listen.
Just…
I don't know. To make sure.
Make sure of what?
It just makes me feel comfortable,
that's all.
Knowing what's out there.
You know what they say.
"You can take the guy out of the Movement,
but you can't take the Movement
out of the guy."
- They don't say that.
- Are you sure?
Mmm, maybe they should.
Come on.
It wasn't all bad.
Found each other.
We survived.
We turned stolen minutes into years.
Who'd have thought?
Not me.
See?
Not all bad.
If you're worried about something,
just talk to me.
Just don't hide things from me.
I know.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
- [furniture banging]
- [glass shattering]
- [furniture thuds]
- [glass shatters]
Trev?
Trevante? You okay?
You okay?
[Trevante groans]
Sorry. Sorry if I woke you.
Go back to bed.
[somber music plays]
- [Jamila] It's all right.
- [panting]
I can stay.
- Do you want some water?
- No, I'm fine. Thank you.
- Did you remember something? Is it…
- No.
- Okay, so maybe if we talk about…
- I said, "No."
Look. If we're in this together…
We're not in this together. Okay, Jamila?
Remember,
I didn't want you here to begin with.
No one is in this with me.
Well, you know what they say
about sharing the load.
You don't want what's inside of my head.
Trust me. No one does.
Go back to bed.
Look,
I watched Casp close himself off
like no one could possibly
understand what was happening to him.
And you know what helped?
Talking to people.
The WDC sent the best and the brightest
to try to shrink this shit out of me.
You know what they got?
They got nothing. Okay?
So, I need you to leave me the fuck alone.
Go back in your room,
- so I can deal with this my way.
- Fine.
Speaking as the one who didn't rearrange
- the furniture at 2:00 a.m.
- I apologized for that already.
And probably wake half the motel.
Your way's not really working, is it?
And I can handle more than you think.
I told you, I'm not a kid.
Leave me alone.
Fine.
[breathing deeply]
[furniture thuds]
[Aneesha] Luke.
What's wrong?
Why are you awake?
[sighs]
I drew those.
When?
The day he came back.
Trevante.
I heard the aliens again.
It was only for a second
and then they were gone.
And then…
I saw that in my head.
I lied to him.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Why didn't you tell me?
It was so quick and then it went away.
I thought it was okay,
or maybe I imagined it, you know?
I guess I just wanted
everything to stay normal.
To be normal.
I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry I lied.
- I don't know…
- No, no, no.
You don't have to be sorry.
I want the same.
I want things to be normal too.
It's gonna be okay.
Is it happening again?
- Is it all gonna happen again?
- No, no.
No, I don't think so.
Listen, I…
I want you to get some rest, okay?
And I'll take care of this.
Are you gonna tell Dad?
Let's just keep this between us for now.
Your dad worries. You know how he is.
And I'll figure it out,
then we will talk to him and everyone.
It's gonna be all right.
Now, go get some sleep.
Okay.
- Good night, Mom.
- Good night.
[knocks on door]
I thought you said
you had an early shift at the hospital.
I called another doctor to cover.
Why'd you do that?
Look, I know the area around Baker City.
I can help you find this place.
And besides,
you want to keep a low profile.
I can give you cover.
Back up, if you need it.
I need to know what's going on.
I need to know if it's happening again.
Where's your husband?
Took the kids to the amusement park.
Our daughter
heads back to college tomorrow.
It's been planned for a while.
I don't want my family involved in this
if it's nothing.
I want them safe.
You can understand that.
Yeah.
I can understand.
[door opens]
Hey.
Hey. Good morning.
I'll get my things.
Are you all right?
Not really.
Can I help?
I don't know.
You're a doctor, right?
You know anything about PTSD and amnesia?
Trevante.
Mmm.
I know that recovery from something
like that is a long and difficult process.
He needs professional care.
This is not a job for a young person.
I haven't been a young person
since them things came to Earth.
- Still.
- Look, he's not okay.
So, I thought
you might have some tips or whatever.
'Cause I don't know how to help him.
What are his symptoms?
Loss of sleep?
- Paranoia?
- Yeah, and then some.
He chucked our phones,
and we switched cars twice
on the way here.
Oh, um, he has nightmares too.
Are you worried about self-harm,
or harm to those around him?
If you're a chest of drawers, maybe.
He gets mad, he'll beat up a wall.
The furniture.
B-But he wouldn't hurt me. I'm sure of it.
- [door opens]
- [Trevante] Jamila.
Can we talk for a second?
[sighs]
Look, I'm sorry, but she's
a doctor, and you clearly need help.
Yeah, well, doctors can't help me, okay?
Hey, look,
I'm going to need you to stay put.
Um, where we're going is
probably going to be a little dangerous.
I'm going to drive with Aneesha.
And, uh, we'll be back in, like,
a few hours, all right?
No, sod that.
I told you I'm in this.
And you're not leaving me behind, Trev.
Not until I get some answers.
Look, I can't focus on
what I need to focus on
if I'm worried about keeping you safe.
I don't need you to keep me safe.
I've been taking care
of myself a while now.
I'm an adult. When are you going to
get that through your head?
Is this about last night?
I'm not afraid of you, Trev.
And I can help you
if you would just let me.
Fine.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Good.
Good.
- It'll be good, you'll see.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm invaluable.
- Sure. Whatever you say.
Get your stuff, we're probably not gonna
come back here tonight, all right?
Okay.
Two minutes.
I've got a good feeling about this lead,
you know.
I think if we, um…
- Trev?
- Sorry. It's for your own good.
- Trev!
- [banging on door]
[Jamila] You can't do this. Let me out!
Trev!
Ready?
Jamila?
Decided to sit this one out.
- [banging on door]
- [panting]
Hey!
Fuck.
[grunts]
[Nikhil] Whoo!
[Jensen] Nobody finds out
about this, right?
[Nikhil] In and out before you know it.
And you can upgrade your next vacation
to somewhere better than bloody freezing.
[Jensen] Who's that?
You didn't tell me
you were bringing anybody else.
My assistant.
What, you think I travel without staff?
The first patrol is at 0400.
That'll be tight to get what we need
from the portal servers.
- [door opens]
- This is Brady.
Do one more sweep
of the portal control level…
- Wait. [shushes]
- …then I'm heading back up. Over.
[operator] Copy that.
While you're down there, check
the pressure modulators in the back…
Yeah, that's clear. Over.
Hey. Give me that thing
before you do something stupid.
They will not take me alive. Not again.
I'll do what I have to.
- Look, if you want to do this together…
- We're not together.
I'm using you to get what I want.
That's all.
Well, I have quite a lot of experience
the other way around.
So, this should be refreshing.
[operator] Get up here quick
so I can deal you in on the next hand.
Rest of your money.
[Brady] 10-4.
Okay, we're clear. Let's go.
[radio chatter]
[passenger] Well, shit.
[Trevante] Not your typical Sunday mass.
[Aneesha] No.
Let's do this.
[metal detector beeping]
[guard] Arms up.
Hey.
[metal detector scanning]
[guard] You're good.
- You see that unit tattoo at the door?
- Yeah.
Those guys are full-blown psychos.
So make sure you watch your six.
[vendor] We're gonna start
rounding up the sensitives again.
Heck, we should have
locked them up the last time.
I got books on 'em, ammo
for self-protection, whatever you need.
You know the WDC
ain't gonna protect us, right?
Hey.
Brand new, man. No numbers. Untraceable.
Is it fully adaptable to shard-tip?
It comes with your regular magazine
and your adapted magazine right here.
Nice.
I saw this place on an Infinitas thread.
[vendor 2] Yeah, sure.
There's a bayonet mount too
if anything gets too close.
Thanks.
It latches on to your
hunter-killer, and instant neural cut-off.
They can't get no signal from the hive
and you got yourself a tame alien.
That there's the real deal.
You with Infinitas?
What's it to you?
Same as you.
I'm tired of the WDC
not giving us the truth.
Listen…
if I have information to share,
do you know if there's
someone here I can talk to?
Take off your hat.
I said take off your hat. And glasses.
Fuck you, man.
[member] Cole? Trevante Cole?
Fuck. That's Trevante Cole, man.
[member 2] The hell's he doing here?
- [member 3] No way.
- Yeah, that's him!
I met someone who visited the portal base.
I think Infinitas would love…
[member 4] Who the fuck
let that guy in here?
[people murmuring]
What the hell's wrong with you, man?
What you doing here?
- Could be a damn alien in here.
- He's WDC!
- Two years?
- Hey, poster boy!
Hey!
- [gun clicks]
- [Trevante] Back the fuck up!
- [member] He's fucking WDC!
- Goddamn traitor to your species.
- Get out of here!
- You ain't American!
[clamoring]
- Come on, come on! Let's go! Fuck.
- [tires screech]
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Fuck!
- [screams]
- You okay?
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Shit.
- Did you get anything in there?
- No, I didn't have time.
- You?
- No, nothing.
- Ah, man.
- I got nothing.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have dragged you here.
I mean, I should have just left you alone.
- Luke lied.
- What?
Luke. My son.
He lied to you yesterday. And to us.
He heard them again.
The aliens.
The day you came back, he saw that thing.
That EEG spike.
He didn't tell me.
I need to know if it's happening again.
You know what it feels like
when you have everything you ever wanted?
Everything.
It's absolutely terrifying.
Yeah.
I've got an idea of what that's like.
How do you live with it?
The fear?
Me? Chase fucking ghosts
and beat up furniture.
I heard you and Jamila talking about me.
And the fact is, I'm no different
from those guys back there.
Even if I hate to admit it.
So I need you to listen, all right?
I don't have a choice.
I don't have a choice.
What's in my head, I keep seeing it.
But you, you have a choice.
What I need you to do right now
is I need you to drop me off,
and I need you to go home
and take care of your family
and keep them as far away from this
as possible. You got that?
[phone chimes]
[sighs]
What is it? Is it Clark? Everything okay?
[Trevante] Infinitas.
This location is only a few hours away.
I'll go home after we do this.
It's okay, we have plenty of time.
I'll be home by dinner.
[rumbling]
Come on.
[Nikhil] How much longer?
[Mitsuki] I'm working as fast as I can.
It's downloading two weeks.
That's enough to pick up any signals
from before Cole returned.
Two weeks is a bloody mountain of data.
Do I need to remind you you're a fugitive?
- One week's enough.
- I'm the expert here, not you.
It's my skin on the line too, you know.
Do you have any idea what would happen
if they knew I was helping you?
They might take away
your precious contracts?
It's not your skin on the line.
It's your money. There's a difference.
I pressed to have you released.
Was that before or after they cut me open?
Before or after they gave you
your contract?
How much was my skin worth?
[guards chatting]
Down! Get down!
[guard] I'll check.
- [panting]
- [ethereal ringing]
We're good.
[guard speaks indistinctly]
Shit.
[Jensen] Hurry.
- It's happening again, isn't it?
- I'm fine.
You're clearly not fine.
I'm fine.
[Nikhil] Tell me what you're feeling.
Something's…
getting stronger.
Pin says here. Slow down.
What are you thinking?
Looks like the perfect place
for an ambush.
Twenty-two is right there.
[tires squeal]
Hi, I'm Debbie.
Leave your phones in the car
and I'll drive you the rest of the way.
[phone ringing]
You have kids?
Yes. Sorry for the mess.
I just dropped them at soccer practice.
[Aneesha] Mmm.
- How old?
- Six and eight.
You have kids?
Is your name really Debbie?
[Trevante] Hmm.
[Debbie] It was nice meeting you.
[Trevante] You too.
All right, just stay behind me. All right?
We were just ordering sandwiches.
You hungry?
We're here to see Infinitas.
You and everyone else who
walks through that door.
Is he here?
Is that funny to you?
- Hey.
- Hey. That's my nephew.
He means you no harm.
Yeah. Maybe you do.
We came to see you.
Last time we saw you was on TV.
Getting an award from the WDC.
You can imagine how an organization
the WDC is not too fond of
would be curious when you
come knocking on one of our doors.
The WDC's not fond of me either.
They're looking for me right now.
As we speak.
So, ladies, please.
Is he here or not?
- Hey, where is he going with my gun?
- You won't need that here.
Hey, please.
We just came a long way to talk to him.
Please.
If we decide that we can trust you,
there's a car waiting
out back of the house.
It'll take you where you want to go.
And if not?
Debbie will done with
carpool in about an hour.
You have something for us?
Not exactly.
But that's what you said to
one of our men at the rally.
We have a question.
Okay.
This document Infinitas
leaked three days ago,
this frequency…
What does it mean?
It came from the portals
three minutes before Trevante returned.
What is the significance of that?
It seems like that'd be
a question for you, wouldn't it, chief?
What happened in there three
minutes before you came back?
I can't remember.
[Trevante] I can't.
[Aneesha] You guys know something?
You gonna keep eyeballing back there
or you gonna tell us the secret?
It's not a secret. We don't keep secrets.
That's the WDC.
We don't know what it means.
Last time we saw it was years ago.
It came from a DSN station.
When the hunter-killers showed up.
When the hunter-killers showed up?
Appeared. Adapted. Yes.
That was the other time
this frequency popped up.
This was from that DSN hit.
[high-pitched ringing]
[shouts, groaning]
[Aneesha] Trev.
[loud ringing]
[ringing continues]
[growling]
[alien growling]
[Trevante screams]
- [door slams]
- FBI!
Everybody down!
- Down!
- Stay down! Stay down!
Take him.
We are unarmed.
- We are unarmed!
- [Trevante] Listen to me!
- Hey!
- They're in there.
- They're in the walls of the ship.
- Where are you taking him?
Asset extracted.
What do you want to do with the others?
Bring everyone in.
No.
No, no, no, no.
Step back! Step back!
