[chittering continues]
[screeching, growling]
[groans]
[soldiers grunting]
[screeching]
Who's still alive?
Let's check the pilot.
Oh, shit.
Check it. [coughs, sniffs, grunts]
They're out there.
[screeching]
There's ten… twelve of them.
[soldier 1] Better arm up, sir.
Hey! Hey, over here!
We're here!
- Got 'em! I need down to that chopper!
- Over here!
[soldier 2] Two klicks southwest, boss.
Aliens incoming!
[soldiers panting]
Hold your fire until we get eyes on.
Lock and load.
- Let's go! Let's go!
- Now! [grunts]
[shouts]
[soldier 3] Go! Go!
[Caspar] I saw things
that could've stopped them.
Hey! If you're not gonna use that…
[soldier 4] We've gotta get outta here!
[captain] There's a clearing!
Go in for the landing!
Let's get them out of there!
[pants]
They're landing!
Three, four klicks north. Let's go.
- Go! Go! Go!
- [soldiers clamoring]
[grunts]
[in Japanese] Connection.
The other side.
[in English] Hey, you okay?
Hey, what's happening to you?
[Mitsuki] I feel what they feel.
- [soldier 3] Let's get outta here!
- Hey. You all right?
- You okay?
- [soldier 3] Let's go! Let's go!
[soldier 5] Double time. Let's go!
[panting, clamoring]
[alien growling]
[roars]
- [panting]
- [soldier 1] Trevante!
Trevante!
Chief, come on!
[alien growls]
- [Caspar groans]
- [Trevante groans]
I said, "Don't stop!"
[gunshots]
- Chief!
- Everyone, get to the chopper.
Hey, he's our asset!
We can't leave him back here.
Rodriguez, Chen, with me.
The rest of you, secure the bomb.
Move! Go!
[screams]
Holy shit!
Get down! Get down!
[shouts]
- [Mitsuki] Trevante! Get out of there!
- [gasps]
[grunting, panting]
Trevante, go! Get up!
I'm trying.
[groans]
[screams]
[shrieks, groaning]
[Mitsuki] Don't!
Stop! Stop!
[Chen] What the hell?
- I've got him, you've got her. Come on.
- [groaning]
If I gotta drag your dead weight…
- Come on, goddamn it.
- [engine sputtering]
[engine sputtering]
It's dead.
- What?
- Electronics are fried.
Must be the signal from the mothership
coming through those vines.
What are you talking about?
- I'm saying the chopper's dead.
- [alien growls]
Fuck!
[breathing heavily]
Samson! Amoako, Banks. Come on.
All right, the three of you
draw them here.
Chopper's dead. We need a head start.
What? Draw the aliens, sir?
You're disposable. The assets aren't.
You got a problem with that?
[chuckles] No problem, sir.
The planet thanks you for your service.
- Breathe, Banks.
- [inhales sharply]
Come on, let's get these
alien bastards to come to us.
[growling continues]
[grunts]
[screeching]
[gunshots continue]
[soldier 6] Hey! Over here!
[clamoring]
She okay?
What happened to her?
He did.
Come on! We gotta keep going.
Figure it out later. Let's go.
[roars]
- [soldiers shouting]
- [gunshots]
Grenade!
- Three…
- [panting]
Two…
- [shouting]
- One!
Let's move!
You too, Hurricane.
[chattering]
Where are we?
What is this place?
Hey. I asked a question. Where are we?
Wanna go home,
we probably shouldn't answer.
[chuckles] Long journey?
Yeah, you look it.
Come on, I got some grub inside.
- We're not hungry. Uh…
- I am.
Sorry. W-We just have to
get home to our kids.
I mean, if you're not holding us here.
No. No, of course. I understand.
Where's home?
- Just outside of Boise, Idaho.
- Uh…
Maybe you should come in the house.
There's something you should see.
[anchor] Fighting has spread rapidly
from portal areas
to the surrounding terrain and beyond.
Aliens have now occupied territory
across the region,
- including areas south of Spokane…
- [Clark sighs]
- …in parts of Oregon, Montana and Idaho.
- What? What is it?
We're cut off from home.
- Clark.
- We're calling them, Aneesha.
I told them we'd be home in a few hours.
That's definitely not happening.
They're scared.
They need to hear your voice.
[anchor] Evacuation routes
have been posted online
and the WDC is working
with local governments
- to guide evacuees to safe territory.
- [phone buzzing]
- Hello?
- [Aneesha] Jenny. Jenny, it's me.
- Uh, Clark's here with me.
- Oh, my God. Aneesha.
[inhales sharply] Here.
Mom, are you okay?
Yes. Yes. Luke, honey, I-I-I'm okay. I'm…
[stammers]
I'm sorry I'm not there.
We're okay. We're together and we're safe.
[stammers] Are you guys okay?
Yeah. [inhales sharply]
We're at Jenny's.
Ryder's with Sarah and Izzy.
I was watching the news.
When are you coming home?
They're saying we might have to evacuate.
- We're working on it, buddy.
- [white noise crackles]
Luke?
Luke, buddy,
the connection is breaking up.
Uh, let me talk to Jenny.
Wanna talk to you.
Are you both safe?
We're safe, but… [sighs] …it's gonna
take us a little bit longer to get home.
- Listen, I'm sorry.
- [crackling continues]
You have your own family to take care of
and I know it's a lot to ask…
Don't. You know that
you don't need to ask.
I'll take care of them.
If we evacuate, I'll leave word.
- Thank you, Jenny.
- I need to talk to them.
Mom, is this all happening
because of me? Because I lied?
No.
No. Luke, nothing you did caused this.
But I could've told someone.
Could've told Trevante.
No, there's nothing
you could've done to stop this.
Luke, I want you to listen to me.
- I don't want you to think…
- [white noise]
- Luke? Luke?
- [phone disconnects]
- Luke, buddy?
- Luke. Hello?
[sighs]
This is my fault.
This is all my fault. [inhales sharply]
What was Luke talking about?
- [breathing shakily]
- When he said he lied, what was he…
He heard the aliens again.
The day Trevante came back.
I'm sorry. I-I should've told you.
Why didn't you tell me?
I thought I was doing the right thing.
I thought I was protecting us.
We protect us. We do that together.
We're a team, Aneesha.
I didn't want to believe that it
was true, that it was happening again.
- So, you go with Trevante…
- I didn't leave with Trevante.
- I just…
- Okay, we can't… We…
We can't do this right now.
All that matters is that we get home.
We work together, yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.
[grunts]
What's the status?
We got lucky. Everything's still intact.
All right, let's keep it that way.
- Anything?
- Can't get HQ on the SAT phone.
Too much interference.
And we're still 20 klicks
from the airport.
All right, we have no choice.
We march the rest of the way.
[Nikhil] I'm sorry.
Maybe you missed
the hordes of hunter-killers
moving like fucking monkeys
through the trees.
We don't have another option, Nikhil.
And that's a fucking order!
[sighs] The soldier back there,
the one we lost in the firefight.
- Rodriguez.
- Rodriguez.
Hector Rodriguez.
Did he have a family? Kids? Wife?
I don't know.
Tucker might.
They were tight.
[sighs]
Hey, look.
It's your first time being back in bed
with those things, Chief.
It's completely normal to freeze up.
No, it's not.
It's not fucking normal.
[choking, groaning]
Medic!
- What's happening?
- Help her.
[medic] Okay.
Her fugues are getting worse.
Can you do anything to help her?
[gasping, gagging]
I can.
[panting]
[grunting]
[panting]
[grunting, panting]
Indigo Seven to Marigold Three.
Do you copy?
This is Indigo Seven to Marigold Three.
Do you copy? [panting]
Marigold Three. Go ahead.
What's your status?
[stammers] Clem…
Clem's dead.
- What happened?
- [groans] I'm not sure.
There was something out there.
- I think it attacked us.
- You think?
I-I can't explain. [breathes shakily]
I-I felt something. Something close.
A-And then I-I was on the ground
and-and Clem was dead, and there was…
there was blood everywhere.
Listen, this-this wasn't
hunter-killers, okay? It was new.
Something we've never seen before.
And-And it didn't show up
on any of our tracking devices.
- Okay, listen…
- [nephew] Jamila?
[grunts] Sorry, I wasn't trying to, uh…
I-I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
I was just heading upstairs and I heard…
No, it's fine.
This concerns you too.
- Come in.
- [nephew sighs]
We're in communication with people
patrolling the Dead Zone
around the mothership.
I-I thought that was all quarantined.
It is.
So why would you send people there?
The WDC wants to pretend
like everything's fine.
That's why they built that giant wall
around the Dead Zone.
But we believe we need to
understand the aliens, what they want.
You can't fight what you don't know.
You said this concerns me.
Your friend Trevante,
he's part of a mission
to reach the mothership.
They're refueling at an airstrip
a few hours north of here.
Wait, how do you know that?
We have communication all over the world.
We know a lot of things.
But there's something new.
It's been killing our scouts.
That mission, Trevante's mission,
doesn't know what's waiting for them
once they reach the Dead Zone.
So warn them.
Well, we can try, but the WDC
is not inclined to listen to us.
Thomas, call in an anonymous tip.
Maybe that reaches them.
Come on.
The mission…
They're a few hours north of here?
What if we warn them?
I'll go with you. Trevante knows me.
He'll listen to me.
- We can't ask you to do that.
- You didn't.
Hey, listen.
Listen, I'm really sorry
about Rodriguez, man.
You got him killed.
You don't get to talk about him.
You know, I lost someone too.
Yeah, I know. The kid.
Nah, before that.
When the aliens just got here,
my best friend. He was in my unit.
Chavez.
And I had to fucking bury him
in the middle of the desert by myself.
Then I had to go tell his wife and kid.
Sam.
Who's that? A guy in your unit?
No, he's my son.
Sam Tucker. Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
If I, you know… die, you let him know.
Given you got practice at it.
Sole survivor and all that.
Plus he's got all kinds of posters of you
on his wall and shit.
He'll probably ask you for an autograph.
Big fucking hero.
We got movement. [shushes]
- Whoa, whoa. Don't fire. Friendly.
- Ah.
[sighs]
[chattering]
- How'd you make it?
- We dropped the grenades in the chopper
- and ran like hell.
- All right.
- You good?
- Yeah.
Banks?
- It's good to see you guys. Come on.
- [sighs] Thanks for waiting.
- All right, that's it.
- [sighs]
- You look like shit.
- [chuckles]
Got point.
[distant chatter]
- They're all coming back in.
- It's now or never.
I'll get Jamila.
[breathes shakily] I'll go find the car.
We can do this. This is what we do.
This is who we are, right?
[sighs] Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah, right in here.
- Okay.
[pants]
[indistinct chatter]
Clark, I need to talk to you.
I need to talk to you too.
- Where's Aneesha?
- Come with me a sec.
Why?
[breathing heavily]
- Just…
- [stammers]
- What are you doing?
- This way.
I know where Trevante is.
- What?
- [sighs]
He's on a WDC mission to the mothership.
Clark, he's headed straight into a trap.
We need to warn him.
[sighs]
No.
What we need to do is get home.
This is not our fight, Jamila.
If that mission is walking into a trap,
it's everyone's fight.
[Jamila scoffs]
Look, I know you wanna make a difference.
That's why you were
surfing those websites, right?
[breathing heavily]
[engine sputtering]
Uh…
Oh, easy now.
[chuckles] You don't need that. Trust me.
I don't trust you.
Well, I guess I can understand that.
You lied.
I withheld. For your own good.
I was protecting you.
I had no idea that you would
end up in that ambulance.
That's the truth.
May I?
- What do you want?
- [sighs]
It was nice talking to you,
back in that bullpen.
I don't get very many opportunities
to just talk.
What you did was insanely dangerous.
Ingesting an allergen like that?
I mean, you could have died.
Yeah.
Well, if I had had any other option…
Whatever it is you're doing here,
I can't get involved.
I need to get back to my family.
I know that.
And I know that you saved my life.
Joel told me.
I'd like to repay the favor,
if you'll let me.
'Cause there's no way you're getting home
in this old junker.
Well, I don't have any other option.
Actually, you do.
We're headed to an airstrip
three hours away from here.
We're going to warn your friend Trevante
about what's waiting for him
once he gets to the Dead Zone.
Why?
Because it's the right thing to do.
More importantly,
we're headed to an airstrip.
'Cause that's the only way
you're gonna get home, through the air.
If you come with me,
I'll make sure you get on a plane.
I promise.
Your choice.
But if you do decide to drive,
take the Buick.
Third gear sticks on this one.
[sighs]
[chattering]
[groaning]
Wait, wait, wait. She's waking.
Hold here.
What do we got?
Well, hello there.
- [groaning]
- Looks like you're alive after all.
What's going on?
We had to, uh, ditch the helicopter.
We're… [inhales sharply] …walking
to the airport now.
- [sighs]
- Not my favorite mode of travel.
How are you feeling?
[groans]
Wait, wait, wait.
Take it easy, take it easy.
[grunts, pants]
[grunts]
What did you do? What is this?
Well, I saved your life,
or your mind at least.
- It's tamping down the alien signals.
- I told you I don't want this.
Yeah. Yeah, you did, but, uh,
I figured you'd rather be pissed off at me
than dead. So, yeah.
Why?
Why did you make this for me?
[inhales sharply] You know, a simple
"thank you" would suffice.
"Thank you, Nikhil, for saving my life.
- Thank you for being a genius."
- Can she walk?
[Mitsuki sighs]
I can speak for myself.
Tucker, Chen, Reese.
Perimeter around the assets.
Nikhil, with me, please. Thank you.
Hey, you all right?
- Yeah.
- Okay, good.
Feels strange.
My mind is quiet now.
What happened to you back there?
[sighs]
Well, I, um…
I saw… I mean I remembered, I guess…
Caspar.
He was calling for me
and I couldn't save him.
I nearly got you killed.
What was that?
What you did with the aliens.
It was like I was inside their network.
All their connections,
synapses lighting up,
all firing together.
It was beautiful.
Beautiful?
They just took out half our troop.
You think that's beautiful?
- No, that's not what I…
- Hey, hey, listen.
She saved our asses back there.
[Tucker] Nah, Chief.
She saved your ass. We all did.
Yeah.
Come on.
[sighs]
Thank God for that.
Come on!
[radio chatter]
Hey.
Are you remembering
more from the mothership?
I feel like I'm losing
more and more of myself.
At least you get pieces of yourself back.
The pieces don't come back fast enough.
I'm not the man I used to be.
- Hollander.
- What?
You were right. About me.
Listen, if I get on that chopper,
I don't know if my memory is gonna
come back in time to help anyone.
But I do know that I could probably hurt
a lot of people on the way
and I just can't have any more
blood on my hands, man.
[inhales sharply] I'm willing to
sacrifice my life, but not theirs.
I see.
You want a pep talk.
- No, that's not what I said…
- No, no, no. How's th… How's this?
As little faith as you may have
in yourself right now,
trust me when I tell you I have even less.
[inhales sharply] Chief Cole,
if there was another way, any other way,
you wouldn't be on this mission.
But you are. With me. Right now.
So, unless and until we find
another living soul
who survived that ship with a map buried
somewhere deep inside their psyche,
I'm gonna hold your hand and walk you
down the yellow brick road
until we meet the goddamn wizard.
You cowardly fucking lion.
That do it for ya?
[on radio] Anyone else got eyes on this?
- [radio chatter]
- I got vehicles approaching.
Get weapons on those cars. Now.
That's close enough. Stop 'em.
Everyone out! Hands above your heads!
- You heard him. Get out!
- Hands above your heads!
Away from the car!
We just wanna talk!
Hey. Hey, I know them.
What? What?
Weapon.
[Clark] We just wanna talk!
Is Trevante Cole with you?
Who the fuck are they?
Jamila.
[radio chatter]
Well, we've got the military
monitoring the Dead Zone 24-7.
Why would you know more than them?
Because my scouts have gone
deeper than yours.
There's something new out there.
Trevante, I was there.
I heard the transmission.
It's the truth.
You vouch for this?
I vouch for her.
[clears throat] Auntie.
Let me use your antenna
to contact my person in the Dead Zone.
You can hear it for yourself.
See if I'm lying.
[sniffs] You got five minutes.
[sighs] It's over there.
[sighs]
Um…
- Four minutes.
- All right. All right.
This is Marigold Three to Indigo Seven.
Indigo Seven, this is Marigold. Come in.
[Trevante] Tucker. Nikhil.
Smile and pretend like
we're shooting the shit.
- Uh, what? What?
- [chuckles] Hey.
[chuckling] Hey, you finally lost it.
I said, "Smile."
We've got a problem.
Indigo Seven, this is Marigold Three.
This is Marigold Three
to Indigo Seven. Come in.
Come in, Indigo Seven. This is Marigold.
This is Indigo Seven.
- Come in.
- [sighs]
[Trevante] Listen, they got hostiles
on the hangar rooftops right now.
- What? [mutters]
- Don't look.
Just smile and act natural.
All right? You got it?
- Fuck.
- What do we do?
We gotta get everyone on that chopper.
Now.
Hey, Reese. Get everyone on the transport.
- But I thought we had the…
- Now. Now.
- Okay.
- Great.
I've got someone here with me.
He's from the WDC.
The WDC? Wha… They-They took you?
No. No, nothing like that.
We're in this together.
[Trevante] Jamila! She's good.
I need to get you on the chopper.
Huh? Why?
We're moving out.
Trust me.
And only me.
[Verna] I need you to tell him exactly
what you encountered in the Dead Zone.
Are you sure?
Yes. Tell him everything.
He needs to know the truth
about what's out there.
Where's Chen?
He's getting Hollander.
- Let's go. We're moving out!
- Chen, wait!
[Hollander] Let's start with this.
Who am I ta… [chokes]
Chen, wait!
[grunts]
[groaning]
[grunts, groans]
Get… [grunts]
Joel, let's go!
[choking]
Don't fight it.
May our redeemers forgive you your sins.
[grunts]
What?
Jamila!
Get back in!
[breathing heavily]
They're leaving.
Trevante said to get on the chopper.
Let's go.
- Oh.
- Run.
Run! [grunts]
- [grunts]
- Sir, I can't shoot like this.
[breathes heavily]
Take my weapon. Here.
[sighs] Okay.
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
[grunts]
Chen, go!
Goddamn it!
Hold! Run!
[hostile] Don't let them escape!
[grunts]
[Trevante] Amoako, Freeman,
I got you covered. Move it!
[soldier] Man down! Man down!
[screams]
[grunts]
Chief! The bomb!
Fuck.
All right, let's go! Now!
[soldier] Take cover!
[grunts]
Grenade!
[grunting]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[breathing heavily]
[breathing heavily]
[breathes shakily]
