Invasion (2021) s03e04 Episode Script

1
[FBI agent] You have 60 seconds
once they pick up. Do you understand?
[Aneesha] Yes. I understand.
[news reporter] If you live
within 50 miles of a portal site,
the government strongly encourages you
to evacuate immediately.
Leave your homes and get to safety
as quickly as you can.
- The WDC military are mobilizing troops…
- [phone buzzes]
…and dispatching them to
all affected areas.
- Reports indicate that the…
- I… I don't recognize the number.
Hello?
Aneesha? Honey, is that you?
Yes. Yes, it's me.
[sighs] Where are you?
I'm in a FBI field office in Boise.
What are you… [stammers] Are you okay?
Just tell me you're okay.
Yeah, yeah. I'm okay. I'm okay.
- What's going on? Is she with Trevante?
- Is it Mommy?
[sighs]
What are you doing at the FBI?
What happened?
I don't know. I went looking for answers.
Why didn't you tell me?
[sighs] I thought I could figure it out
and be back home by dinner,
and everything would just be normal.
[stammers] Are you seeing
what's going on out there?
Yeah.
Are the kids okay? Clark, are they…?
Yeah, they're… They're fine. They're…
They're scared.
We're all scared.
I know, I'm… I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You stay safe. I-I'll be okay.
- I'll just explain and…
- [line clicks]
- …and just come straight…
- That's 60 seconds.
Hello. Hello?
Aneesha. Honey.
Is Mom okay?
Is Mommy coming home?
Uh…
- Uh…
- Yeah.
Yeah, she is.
Me and your dad are gonna go get her.
[Clark] Right.
I'm gonna go get your mom
and bring her home.
And we will all be together tonight.
Promise.
Um…
Go over to Jenny's. Stay there.
If we're not back by dinnertime,
which we definitely will be…
Ry, help her out.
There's some steaks in the fridge.
You can do it potluck style.
Got it.
It'll be fun.
Hey.
All the reports, every single one of them,
say the fighting is at the portal sites.
And we are thousands of miles
away from any of those sites.
We are safe.
Hey, look at me. Hey. Come on.
You don't have to be afraid.
Because why?
Who do we have?
[both] Each other.
That's right.
Luke?
Yeah.
Each other.
[radio chatter]
Where are we?
Nine miles out.
[Mitsuki] Nine miles out from what?
Where are they taking us?
Where are they taking us, Nikhil?
Why are we in the middle of nowhere?
You'll want to strap in.
I told you
I'd die before I'd come back here.
Welcome home, kid.
[shrieks, grunts]
[in Japanese] I'll kill you. Let me go.
I'll never let you take me again!
Son of a bitch. I won't let you.
[in English] Just like old times.
[Mitsuki screams]
[sighing, groaning]
[door opens]
Fuck-a-doodle-do. Trevante Cole.
In the flesh.
- [sighs]
- [door closes]
Uh… [stammers]
I've never been starstruck in my life.
But I suppose
today's gonna be full of surprises.
I'm sure you know who I am.
I don't have one fucking clue, man.
Oh, that's lovely. Charming.
Uh, you two are gonna
get along beautifully.
Nikhil Kapur.
Founder and CEO of Dharmax Industries.
Third richest man in the world.
Might be higher after today.
Who are you?
Second richest?
She's with me.
Sure about that?
No. Why are we here?
[sighs] I don't know why we're here.
I was hoping
one of you guys could tell me that.
Where the hell is everyone?
I don't know any more than you do.
[sighs]
Which is not a sentence
I think I've ever uttered.
But like I say,
today is gonna be full of sur…
[door opens]
It's about fucking time.
- After the press conference…
- [door closes]
…this is what you were trying to tell me.
I should have listened. I'm listening now.
Like I said, General,
it's about fucking time.
- What was it you saw?
- I saw something on the ship.
Okay? Something in the walls.
Something alive.
A hunter-killer?
No. No. It's different.
That narrows things down.
I-I can't explain it. Okay?
But I know what I saw,
and what I saw is something new.
Something bigger than the others,
more powerful.
And whatever it is, it killed Caspar.
[Bryant] But not you.
Why didn't you tell us any of this
while you were still in the hospital?
'Cause I didn't remember then.
I find that odd.
Oh, that-that's what you find odd?
Look, my first memory was sparked
when I saw Caspar's EEG. All right?
When he died. Okay?
The second was when
I heard the frequency from the portal,
just when I got spit out.
They're connected.
- Connected.
- Yes, connected.
Caspar's EEG, the pattern. Okay?
They… they…
[stammers] It's the same
as the frequency from the portal.
It just means… it means something.
All right?
I just can't see it yet.
Those things…
Those things killed Caspar.
Okay? They killed him.
And they're not fucking done.
And whatever happened before,
it's just the beginning.
[Hollander] Okay, so if we played
that same frequency,
you'd get another snapshot
of whatever it was you saw up there?
I don't know.
Maybe.
[high-pitched ringing]
[sighs]
You sure that's the right one, mate?
It's right.
- [Hollander] No reaction.
- [ringing stops]
I don't understand.
Fuck. [groans]
[sighs]
Neither do I, okay?
I don't know what's happening to me,
and I can't fucking control it.
That's normal for PTSD.
Your buried memories are bound
to come flooding back
as more triggers are tripped
during the mission.
The mission?
What mission?
The surprises keep coming.
[Aneesha] I can't be here.
Please. I need to get home to my family.
- You think you're the only one?
- No, I don't.
So, answer our questions,
and we all go home to our families.
I was told I was just waiting
for my ID verification. What is this?
You and your husband were involved
with the activist group, the Movement.
"Activist"? Why not call it what it was?
A terrorist organization.
The Movement wasn't
a terrorist organization.
The Movement actively thwarted
the military during wartime.
That is the definition
of a terrorist organization.
And now you're associated
with another terrorist group.
Someone like you consorting
with Trevante Cole.
You can't see how that can be concerning.
No. I can't.
What are you guys planning?
What is who planning?
The Movement isn't a thing anymore.
It hasn't been for years.
I'm a doctor at a hospital, my husband is
a high school English teacher.
We are not "associated" with anybody.
You were at a rally
for the Infinitas group
- and captured at one of their hideouts.
- "Captured"? "Hideouts"?
This is insane.
We're under attack by aliens.
You should be fighting them, not me.
Do you want to go home?
Just tell us the truth.
Where is he? Where is Infinitas?
I don't know. I just met these people.
Ask the woman you brought in with me.
She's not saying anything.
She's protecting him.
Are you protecting him?
I am telling you the truth.
I didn't know anything
about these people until today.
We ran a data scan at your home address.
A computer at that location shows months
of Infinitas searches, chat rooms, boards.
Months?
That's right.
Can you explain that?
No, I can't.
[radio reporter] Violence remains isolated
to regions directly surrounding
the active portal sites.
Everyone outside the evacuation radius
- [car honking]
- is encouraged to remain
within the safety of their homes
until further not…
[radio turns off]
You okay?
Yeah. I'm okay. I'm…
Clark?
Clark.
What are you…
I thought you said
you were an English teacher?
Well, I wasn't always an English teacher.
[Bryant] This is a satellite image of
the vine-like alien webbing spreading out
from our portal site in Alberta
over the last 24 hours.
All portal sites are
reporting similar activity.
It's clear now the aliens were
not retreating to the mother ship to die.
They were regrouping to attack.
Trevante was right.
We need to ramp up production
on the Neural Darts.
- I'll personally oversee…
- Neural darts are useless now.
So, what… what does that mean?
- They work. They've always worked.
- [Bryant] Not anymore.
Scientists around the world have been
working nonstop since these opened up.
The prevalent theory they have
is the hunter-killers are now hardwired.
Hardwired? How?
This webbing somehow connects
the HKs to the mother ship.
And the Neural Darts
no longer are effective
because the mother ship signals are
no longer airborne.
They're hardwired. Which means we've lost
our one real advantage in this war.
Meanwhile, hunter-killers are pouring out
of every portal.
[Trevante] So, destroy the webbing.
Blow it up. Missiles, nukes, bombs…
We've tried.
Nukes have no effect on the portals.
Everything else in the vicinity is
destroyed, but the portal survives.
And waves of webbing
and HK keep flooding out,
pushing us back further and further.
We're projecting 30 days before
they completely overwhelm all defenses.
The only solution is to cut the enemy off
at its source.
Its source?
The mother ship.
I'm leading a mission
to cross through the Dead Zone.
Wait, wait. Hold on. The Dead Zone is
called the Dead Zone for a reason.
We've been sending scouts in
from the Wall Bases for some time now.
They've sent messages out.
Messages. Great, great.
What happened to them?
What happened to your scouts?
Suddenly you're concerned
about other people's lives?
Um… Not yours particularly.
You're right.
Nobody came back.
Anyone that goes into that Dead Zone
dies there.
Over the past few hours, we've been
assembling an elite team of soldiers.
The best of the best.
But you two know more about the aliens
and the mother ship than anybody.
Cole and Yamato
are going to guide us directly into
the heart of that mother ship
so we can blow it up
and end this once and for all.
[Nikhil] Blow it up with what?
He just finished telling us
not even nukes are an option.
We're gonna blow it up with a Shard Bomb.
[Hollander] When Trevante stabbed
the core of the ship with the shard,
it caused enough damage
to bring the mother ship down.
We're gonna strap a Shard Bomb
to that same core and obliterate it.
Cut the signal off at the source.
It'll permanently close the portals
and de-hive the hunter-killers in battle,
making them easier to stop.
And giving our species a fighting chance.
Right. So just
get all the way
through the Dead Zone, yeah?
Which no one's ever done without dying.
And into the mother ship,
through a maze that's the size of a city.
And to their central core where you think
it's-it's gonna what?
Welcome you in? Offer tea and biscuits?
Victory requires sacrifice.
There's a difference
between sacrifice and suicide.
Whatever it takes.
Suicide or sacrifice.
I'm in.
I advise you to call your families,
say your good-byes if you need to.
Wheels up. 1800.
Hey. This can't happen.
Was that an order?
You confuse money with authority.
No, no, no. I'm not the one confused.
Mitsuki can't go
anywhere near the Dead Zone,
never mind the actual mother ship.
- You know what'll happen to her.
- If we're going into alien territory,
we need someone
who knows the alien's language.
And if you question that, or me, again,
I'll have you thrown in a military cell
all the money in the world
won't get you out of.
You know what? Uh… Fuck you very much.
Good luck on your, um… suicide mission.
I wish you all the best
on a prompt and painful death.
- Where do you think you're going?
- Home.
No, you're not. You're coming with me.
There's something I wanna show you.
I had 'em pull up the sat footage.
- Look familiar?
- No.
Why? Should it?
I would think.
It's what remains of your home, Nikhil.
Is that your face on the tennis court?
[Nikhil] You're enjoying this, aren't you?
No, I'm not.
No, only because
you're incapable of feeling joy.
Right now, yes, I am.
But luckily for you,
you won't be going back there.
'Cause you're coming with us.
Sorry, what?
Well, you designed the neural weapons.
Engineered them.
We'll need you there in case
something goes wrong with the bomb
or if we need to produce new weapons
for whatever's out there.
And if I say no?
Then you get three square meals a day and
a prison cell the size of a parking space.
And I can't promise that what happened
to your home won't happen to your prison.
[Trevante] No one to call?
Yeah.
Me neither.
I met him once.
Caspar.
In the ship. Their ship.
What do you mean? How?
I don't know exactly.
I went through a portal.
I talked to him.
I'm sorry for your loss.
What happened in there?
I don't know. I don't know exactly.
You don't know exactly.
I don't know exactly.
But we're the ones who know most
about the aliens and their ship.
[chuckles]
Guess this is really
a, uh… suicide mission, huh?
[both chuckle]
Yeah.
They took everything from me.
Yeah, me too.
[Jamila] Hello?
Marquez?
Hi. Can you help us?
I think my wife, Aneesha Evans, is here.
I'm here to take her home.
She was with Trevante Cole.
Trevante Cole?
Is he here?
This… This is just a field office.
Aneesha Evans then? Please.
Maybe your wife knows where Trevante went?
Aneesha Evans.
She's here. They brought her in.
That's all I know.
Can you go back and check on her?
I'm sorry, we're behind.
Just please take a seat.
- FBI, please hold.
- [phone beeping]
FBI, thank you for holding.
No, I'm sorry.
We don't have that information.
FBI, please hold.
You're married, right?
I figure you don't wanna be here
any more than I do.
Probably just wanna be home right now.
Go back to whatever this morning
looked like and hold on to that?
My wife, we have three kids at home, and
I promised them that we would be home.
So please, I'm begging you.
Check on my wife.
And check on, uh… Verna Mae Potter
while you're at it.
Look, y'all got my aunt back there.
And she needs these.
I'm gonna need you all to take a seat.
I'm not taking a seat nowhere, all right?
My aunt has heart issues.
I need you to take these back to her.
Hey. There's nothing you can do out here.
You said
you don't have the information, right?
But you can do this.
Help us. Please.
I'll go talk to the agents.
That's all I can do, okay?
Thank you.
Now, please, just wait over there.
FBI, thank you for holding.
[sighs]
Just wait here. Sit tight.
When do I get out of here?
ID and warrant checks are taking
a little longer than usual.
Given the circumstances,
I'm sure you understand.
- I need to go home.
- Yeah, I heard you the first ten times.
Let's try 11. When do I get to go home?
Trust me. The second you are
processed out, I will let you know.
[sighs]
They weren't too rough in there,
were they?
They can't help you.
They can't even help themselves.
Look at 'em.
I don't know what the hell
I was doing at your house.
I mean, no offense.
None taken. Well, maybe a little.
You want some?
It's a little stale. Probably haven't
changed the machine in a minute.
I'm okay.
Liar.
Sorry. [chuckles]
Bit much. [chuckles]
Occupational hazard.
Truth telling is kind of our thing.
Doesn't make you popular,
but it does make you right.
But being right
doesn't make you popular either.
Okay, then.
Who is Infinitas?
I can tell you this much.
That, um…
he's a good soul.
Infinitas cares about people.
You and him have a lot in common.
Again, no offense, but you don't know me.
You ever notice when people say,
"no offense",
what it really means is
"sorry for being so offensive"?
[sighs, speaks Farsi]
[in English] You were
in the Movement, right?
I heard them talking about it.
You all did good work.
Got people food, shelter, protection
when the government couldn't, wouldn't.
Infinitas just gives people
what the government ain't giving today.
The truth.
You knew what they did to me.
You didn't stop it then.
And you brought me right back here.
- What else could I do?
- You could have been a human being
for once in your life.
Your fugues are getting worse.
This can help you.
[Mitsuki] What is this?
[Nikhil] Prototype.
For a neural dampener.
It'll dampen the blast of alien signals
flooding your brain.
Can help with the headaches, the fugues.
There used to be hunter-killers in there.
Lots of them.
They were cut off from their hive
by technology like this.
To make them silent. Safe.
You want to do that to me? Control me?
Put me in a cage?
No, Mitsuki. It's not like that.
This will just stop the noise
from coming in.
I designed it specifically for you
based on the data we collected.
From torturing me.
I'm trying to help you.
I don't need your help.
And even if I did, how can I trust it?
You think you're better than the aliens?
You both destroy whatever gets
in your way, to get your way.
Fuck sake. I'm trying to help you.
We want the same bloody thing.
I want to end this.
End them.
I want the voices to stop in my head.
I want to go back to a life of peace.
A life I had before you showed up.
And I want you gone
as much as I want them gone.
So no.
We do not want the same thing.
[reporter] We now have confirmation that
all known portals
are active battlegrounds.
The WDC armed forces are fighting off
numerous attacks
and using everything at their disposal…
Yeah.
…to keep the combat limited to
the established containment radius.
The WDC implores…
You sure you don't want to go home?
Told you.
I came for answers and now this?
I can't go home.
Trevante.
He has something in his head that
can help us, I know it.
And I can help him, so, yeah.
If your wife knows where he is,
we can find him,
do something to stop this, end it,
and then all go home.
Jamila.
There is no "we."
I'm sorry. Aneesha and I,
we are going straight home from here.
Right.
Yeah, I understand.
Your mother,
she must be worried about you.
- FBI.
- [Jamila] She's used to it by now.
I know what it's like
to worry for a child.
- [receptionist] Yeah, understood.
- Not something you get used to.
[Jamila] Yeah, well, like I keep saying,
I haven't really had the privilege
of being a child
since some things came to Earth, so…
You're still a child to her. Trust me.
[Jamila sighs]
What's taking so bloody long?
[professor] Hey.
Do you think, uh…
they gave those meds to my aunt?
Yeah. Yeah. Daft bastards.
But they're not trying to kill anyone.
Right, yeah.
I, uh… [scoffs] I just,
I can't have anything happening to her.
My aunt, she stepped up after my mom, she…
You lost your mom?
Yeah.
She's all I got.
I can't imagine what my life would be like
without her.
Berringer.
[professor] Man, this is crazy, right?
- Ready for you.
- That's us.
[professor] That all this
is happening again?
I think somewhere deep down,
we all knew it wasn't over.
Like we were just living
in the moments between, you know?
[professor] Yeah.
I know who you are, by the way.
I knew the second I saw you.
I'm sorry about Caspar.
We all lost someone, right?
Okay.
You guys talk to her, keep her busy.
I'll check the back.
What do you mean?
You want to see if your aunt is okay,
I want to find my wife.
I saw the code she punched
when she went back there.
I'm done waiting.
There are a few questions
you need to answer.
Your dad is pretty tough.
- He's not my dad.
- Who is he then?
- An English teacher.
- Mmm.
Yes, right there.
- [beeps]
- [lock clicks]
[expert] Load the Shard component
in that one.
Firing wire and the firing trigger
in that one.
Make sure the weight's evenly distributed.
These choppers are near capacity already.
[radio chatter]
Sir?
It's an honor
to have you leading this mission.
Your sacrifice showed us
the true meaning of service, sir.
I'm not leading this mission.
Hey, man. It's a wonder you can breathe
with your head so far up his ass.
Where's Yamato?
[Nikhil clears throat]
She's, um…
- She's…
- She's what?
I've literally never heard you so quiet.
What aren't you saying?
Nikhil, we need her on this mission.
Did you say something to her?
What did you say?
Where is she?
She is…
right there.
[Hollander] You and I should
probably have a little chat
since we're gonna be working together.
Uh… I get it.
You're not there with me yet. That's fine.
But, let's be clear.
You're here to serve a purpose.
If you prove yourself useful,
we won't have any issues.
Understand?
You can hate me all you want, but I did…
I do
what needs to be done.
The data we collected from your brain led
to the development of neural darts.
The needs of the many…
The neural darts don't even work anymore.
So do you still think
my pain was worth it?
For the two years of peace we had?
Absolutely.
[pilot] Two hours flight time,
the rendezvous with main transport,
then eight hours flight time
to the Dead Zone.
[pilot 2] Ready, Leader One.
Flight path should take us across the edge
of the northwest portal battleground.
- So be ready for anything.
- [pilot] Copy that.
[radio chatter]
What is that?
Nothing.
I thought you said
you didn't have anybody.
[Mitsuki] I don't.
But we're all they have.
Are you praying?
No.
Sounds like you are.
Yeah?
What's it to you?
I just find it funny, that's all.
I mean, God abandoned us a long time ago.
Shit, maybe he switched sides and he's
their god now. That ever cross your mind?
We don't need God.
We got him.
[soldier] That's even funnier.
Only reason we're in this is 'cause
he didn't finish the job the first time.
We're all just here to clean up his mess.
Ain't that right, Chief Cole?
They used to call you the Hurricane, yeah?
That 'cause you blew through shit
and left a bunch of wreckage behind?
Hey, Cole. I'm talking to you!
Verna Potter? Someone brought you these.
[Verna] Oh.
Point me to the bathroom.
Be right back.
[Aneesha] Oh, my gosh, Clark.
How are the kids? Where are they?
Are they with Jenny?
It's okay. They're gonna be okay.
- We need to get out of here.
- I know. Let's get out of here.
[person] Oh, my God!
[murmuring]
- [door opens]
- What's happening?
- She's had a heart attack.
- Aunt Verna?
- An ambulance is on the way.
- Nah. Let me back there.
- I'm sorry. You can't…
- You gotta let me in there.
She's my family, man.
[murmuring continues]
No, no, no. What happened?
Does your aunt have any allergies?
No allergies. She just has a bad heart.
What-What's going on?
This is not a heart attack.
It's anaphylactic shock.
- Does she have EpiPen?
- Anaphylactic…
- Epi-what?
- Epinephrine.
[wheezes]
- Oh, my God.
- [Jamila] It's okay.
She's a doctor. It's gonna be okay.
Aunt Vern?
You're sending intel
on both of them? Great. Thank you.
I'm a doctor. Give me the bag.
Where's your Epi?
[paramedic] Three, two, one.
[wheezes]
Holy shit.
[professor] Hey, be careful with her,
all right?
[agent 2] What the hell's
going on out there?
She's having a heart attack.
- [agent 2] What's she doing?
- She's a doctor.
[agent] Callen!
She needs to be intubated.
Where are your supplies?
- [professor grunts]
- Hey!
Answer me! What's going on?
Okay. One, two…
[Aneesha] You had an EpiPen?
- You had that all along?
- She could've died.
Thanks for not letting her.
Oh, my God.
[agent] Stop! Stop!
- Get in. Now.
- [professor] Go. Go. Go.
Stop!
[Clark] Get down.
Aneesha? Aneesha?
Are you okay?
[Clark] Yeah.
[breathes heavily]
Who are you?
[Verna] Oh, no.
You weren't supposed to be mixed up
in this part.
It's you.
You're Infinitas.
[radio chatter]
On our right. What is that?
[pilot] What is that?
Leader One to base, we are coming upon
some disturbingly fast-forming
alien structure.
[operator] What is your altitude?
Six hundred feet.
[beeping]
Brace!
- [alarms blaring]
- [grunting, shouting]
[pilot 2] Leader One down.
Leader One down…
