Invasion (2021) s03e07 Episode Script

1
[Jamila] I think somewhere deep down
we all knew it wasn't over.
Like we were just living
in the moments between, you know?
[dramatic music plays]
[helicopter whirring]
[pilot, on radio] CT-one-seven,
we need clearance to land.
Our fuel reserves are at critical.
[device ringing]
CT-one-seven, this is
Charlie-Hotel-niner-niner-four, inbound.
Come in, CT-one-seven!
Damn it.
[copilot] Could be a disturbance
from our proximity to the mothership.
[Trevante] Any word from the base?
Is that weird or what?
Their comms could be dodgy.
It's an old base that went back online
after they built the wall.
But yeah, it's weird.
Hey. She's good. She's with me. Okay?
- So lower your weapon.
- Yes, sir.
[Trevante] Hey, Clark.
What the hell happened back there?
You led them to us?
[sighs] We thought
that they were trying to help.
You gotta believe me.
[Nikhil]
You and I need to have a little chat.
[grunts]
How'd you and your merry band
of maniacs even know where we were?
She won't stop.
No?
How about we throw you
out this helicopter,
then will she stop?
[breathes heavily]
She's not coming to save me.
She's coming to save you.
She's coming to save all of you.
Fucking gag him or I'm gonna shoot him.
[helicopter engine sputters]
[powers down]
Did the engine just stop?
Fuel reserves just ran dry, folks.
We're autorotating in strong winds,
so strap in.
[passengers clamor]
- [pilot] I see the landing strip.
- [automated voice] Fuel low. Fuel low.
- [pilot] Brace for impact.
- Engine out.
- Altitude. Altitude.
- I am too bloody rich for this shit!
Pull up. Pull up.
[passengers clamor]
- [helicopter powers down]
- [panting]
- [Tucker] Are you okay?
- [Trevante] Everyone all right?
- [passengers panting]
- Okay.
- [Nikhil] Where the hell are we?
- [Tucker] Get the hell outta here.
[ominous music plays]
[Tucker] Outpost 17,
we are on base requesting contact.
Does anyone copy?
[Jamila] Where is everyone?
[Tucker] Be ready for anything.
Something is wrong.
[Reese] She's right.
Look.
[Nikhil] The Dead Zone containment wall
failed to live up to its name.
Lovely.
I mean it could've been
low-heat explosives. Could've been…
[Nikhil] Something else.
Keep moving.
Stick together.
You all take the main building.
Samson, Amoako, with me.
[suspenseful music plays]
Go.
[Tucker] Jesus Christ.
What happened here?
[gasps]
[system powers up]
[Trevante] Anything?
What, besides him?
Backup generator's working.
[grunts]
The circuits are fried.
It's like a giant EMP
ran through everything.
Probably strip some of this old tech,
get the console up and running.
But the transmitter's fucked.
So, listen. Hollander,
may he rest in hell,
left a leadership vacuum,
and you need to fill it.
I can't talk to them,
but you, you speak their language,
so, um, tag, you're it.
Listen, I'm just here
to stop those things.
I'm not on active duty.
- What, are you on medical leave?
- Yeah, something like that.
Oh, okay. Sorry. Well, my apologies.
In that case, take all the time you…
Leave's over, big boy.
You want Tucker in charge?
We might as well shoot ourselves.
We'll be dead like these poor buggers
on this base.
They're not buggers.
They were people. All right?
Right, exactly.
So are we.
And if we're gonna survive,
we need to rally the troops,
fly the flag, round 'em up.
Whatever you lot call it.
I'm not a soldier.
Yeah, I couldn't tell.
You think it was those loonies
back at the airstrip did this?
One of their little factions?
I don't know who did this.
Let's go find the others.
Island of the bloody damned.
So, no survivors inside or out.
[Trevante sighs] Looks like it.
Everyone here,
it's like they all went crazy.
Maybe some kind of mass psychosis?
Something in the water, the air?
[Reese] Or whatever made
that break in the wall.
All right. Then we…
we stay inside, wait for backup.
There's no backup.
Whoever did this made sure
the soldiers couldn't call for help.
We have no communications,
our mission's fucked, we have no bomb,
we can't call the WDC,
we can't call anywhere.
The cavalry's not coming
with a magic bullet
- to help us blow up that mothership.
- [breathes shakily]
- How do we get home?
- We can't.
Fuck!
[in Farsi] We're so stuck.
[in English] Wanna yell that
louder so the mothership can hear?
Shut the fuck up!
Everybody, relax, okay?
We'll take any casualties outside.
We're gonna barricade these windows,
lock the doors and secure the building.
And then we'll figure out
which threat to worry about first. Got it?
It is bad enough
that we're fighting aliens,
now we gotta worry about humans too?
Speaking of, get these traitors in lockup.
- [grunts] No!
- Hold up, hold up!
We're on your side. We can help.
[in Farsi] You speak Farsi?
You were speaking Farsi.
Listen to me, you don't have to fear us.
We can help you.
My husband and I can help you.
Oh yeah, "Auntie"?
[in English] But from where I'm standing,
half my unit is dead because of you.
[in Farsi] Speaking in the "mother tongue"
isn't going to bring them back.
- [in English] Get them out of here! Go.
- No.
- No, you don't have doctors.
- Chen, come on.
- Listen to me.
- [Chen] All right. Let's go!
Let go of me!
Aneesha and Clark didn't know
who they were any more than I did.
Look at them.
They're not killers.
They're collateral damage.
Come on, Trev, you know them.
Vouch for them. Like you did for me.
I'll make sure nothing happens to them.
That's the best I can do.
Aneesha.
[pants] I should have driven away.
I never should have listened to her.
We'll figure this out, okay?
We'll… We'll figure out how to get home.
How? How?
There's a worldwide war out there,
and we just keep getting
further from home.
[Clark] Trevante… The… The mission…
They'll figure it out.
The mission? The mission we just blew out?
That mission you're talking about?
And how will they figure it out, Clark?
- How?
- I don't know!
Yet. I don't know yet.
Hey. [panting]
Who did this? Huh?
- Who are you people?
- [mutters]
We're preparing the world
for what's to come.
And what is that?
Redemption.
Peace.
You didn't think that
we really killed them for good, did you?
The aliens? Our redeemers?
They were always going to rise.
And now it's begun.
W-What has begun?
Our ascension…
to paradise.
[sighs]
[grass rustling]
[laughs]
Thomas, Rhoda, Jenks, this is Barnes.
- [soldier] Oh.
- [soldier 2] Hey.
Verna.
They've been living near the edge
of the Dead Zone
since the mothership came down.
True believers.
Been too long since I've seen you, friend.
Yeah.
Where's Langston?
[Verna] They took him.
You've got eyes on them?
Let's go some place else
where we can talk.
Yeah.
[soldiers gasping, muttering]
It's the first time I'm seeing it
with my own eyes.
[drills whirring]
Hey, you wanna talk?
- [Tucker] About what?
- About the plan.
[scoffs] What plan?
We have no Hollander, no bomb.
We've got a bunch of psychos
on our ass. Got…
A billionaire tech genius
is gonna figure out
how to fix the damn comms
so we can call HQ.
That's the… that's the plan.
Look, I know this is not
what you signed up for.
I don't know what I signed up for anymore.
I figured I'd do a tour,
go home, live my life.
What did… what did you sign up for, Chief?
- [Trevante] We got a survivor.
- [Tucker] What?
Holy shit.
Hey! Hey!
Hey, it's okay!
- Hey! I'm not gonna hurt you.
- [panting, grunting]
- [Tucker] Stop!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- [groans]
It's all right. Hey, we got you, okay?
- Make it stop.
- [Trevante] Who did this to you?
- [Tucker] Hey, easy. Relax.
- Hey.
- What? Look, who did this?
- Make it stop.
- Make it stop. Make it stop.
- Make what stop?
- [grunts]
- [Trevante] No!
- No!
- [choking]
[Trevante] No!
What the fuck? What the fuck, man?
- Hey, you'll be all right. It's okay.
- What the fuck is happening?
It's all right. Just ride it out, man.
Hey, look at me.
- [breathing shakily]
- Breathe. It's okay. It's okay.
It's all right.
We can't do much for him though, can we?
No, we can't.
But he can help us.
[soldiers grunting, screaming on footage]
[scout panting]
No, no, no! What are you…
Fuck. No, no, no!
- What are you doing? No! Ah, shit.
- [groaning]
[scout] Hey! Hey!
We need to get out of here! [grunts]
[Nikhil] So they went crazy.
Killed each other.
[Tucker] Killed themselves.
I bet it's from being this close
to the mothership. Fucks you up.
[Reese] Or that cult got to them.
[screaming continues]
I can't…
Yeah, fuck this.
[soldiers screaming, groaning]
[taps key]
What happened here?
Could be some sort of toxin, maybe.
Whatever it is, it's gone now.
How do we know?
'Cause we're not killing ourselves.
Yet.
[Amoako shouting indistinctly]
…not at each other!
- There's no reason for us to be here!
- [Reese] They gave us a mission.
[Samson] Amoako's right.
The mission's dead.
As long as we stick around, we'll be too.
[Amoako] If we start walking now,
there's a chance we make it home.
- [Reese] It's not our call!
- [Samson] Whose call is it?
Hey, Tucker. I say we put
as much distance as possible
between us and this hellhole.
- Start walking south.
- Just… Just settle down.
We're safe in here. We're figuring it out.
- Safe? What ride are you on?
- Look around, boss!
The longer we stay here,
the deader we get.
- [Tucker] You don't know that.
- To hell, we don't.
- Chief, what do you think?
- [Amoako] Who cares what he thinks?
- [Tucker] Yo, shut up!
- [Amoako] You shut up!
He can't help us now. Right, Tucker?
Right?
[sighs] I wanna hear what he has to say.
What do you think?
Retreat's not an option.
I wish it was, I do.
I wish we could just go back, regroup,
reload, but that's off the table.
So, we're just fucked?
No bomb, no backup,
no intelligence, no plan.
And any minute now,
we're gonna start killing each other.
[Jamila] You're alive now.
You're alive now. So, figure it out.
Make a new plan.
Or your friends died
back at that airport for nothing.
Caspar Morrow died for nothing.
How many people died for nothing?
[sighs] It can't all be for nothing.
We gotta finish what they started.
Come on, we have to.
- Kid, it is not that easy.
- I know it's not that easy.
And you don't look
that much older than me.
[fingers snap]
She's right.
Listen, I hear you.
I hear all of you, but she's right.
If we don't finish this, then there'll be
no home to go back to for anyone.
Listen, I don't know
what happened on the base, okay?
But for now, I do know
it's that we have our minds.
And if we work together,
maybe, just maybe,
we'll beat whatever the fuck is out there
and win this fucking war.
For real and for good.
How? With what?
The bomb's gone.
I know you took that ship down
once before, but how do we kill it dead?
Same way he did before.
You get me every piece of shard.
Shard bullets, shard blades, all of it.
The rest of you,
find every explosive. Yes?
Everything and anything that goes boom.
Bring it here.
I'm gonna build us a new bomb.
Hey. You coming?
[soldiers groaning, screaming]
What are you looking at?
You see those orange flags?
That's the scout path.
I always said that I would come here,
travel down that path
and see her for myself.
Her?
The mother.
She's out there, waiting for us.
I… I'm… I'm sorry f-for all of it.
- I never should have…
- It's not important.
It is important.
[Clark] No. [inhales deeply]
The only thing that matters is
that we survive. [sighs]
We survive and we get home to the kids.
That's it. [inhales deeply]
[Aneesha] Okay.
- What do we have?
- [door opens]
Aneesha, Clark. Come with me.
[Nikhil] Where's all the bloody casings?
[copilot] We didn't think you needed them.
I didn't say to throw them though, did I?
I need the powder for the initial charge.
Is everyone here thick as mince?
- I thought you only needed…
- Don't think.
That's where you made your first mistake.
Mitsuki… Wh-where the hell is Mitsuki?
So, we follow the flag path
as far as it's marked,
- and then we scout…
- Hey, what the fuck?
Look, we need all the help we can get.
And they fought on our side back there.
So, I had to make the call.
- [Amoako] You made the call?
- Yes.
You should have asked us.
Listen, Clark, Aneesha,
they got caught up, all right?
And if we're gonna go into the Dead Zone,
we're gonna need a doctor.
Clark has tactical skills too.
We need all hands on deck.
I'm asking you to trust me at this one.
Can you do that?
[Reese] So you're gonna be
the chief, Chief?
If you'll let me.
We'll help any way we can.
You know, maybe we can set up
some food in the next room?
[Samson] I'm not mad at a meal.
All right. We're settled, then.
You two, patrol the perimeter.
We'll take shifts. Got it?
All right, let's do it.
See what you got.
[Verna] Indigo Seven, do you read?
This is Indigo Seven. Come in.
This is Marigold Three.
We made it. We're at home base.
[Carolann] They're here.
They've got Langston locked up
in Outpost 17 HQ.
Keep eyes on him. We're on our way.
Over and out.
Load up.
We're bringing Langston home. Let's go!
This is how you're getting your kicks now?
Watch this.
[Nikhil] Okay. Lovely.
Carnage and mayhem.
Horror's not my favorite genr…
Look.
At-At what? What-What are we looking at?
It's just m…
Hey, play that again.
What was that?
That shadow in the background.
[Mitsuki] Something else is on this base.
I think it's what killed them.
Is it still in here?
I don't think so.
That doesn't look like a hunter-killer.
Doesn't look like any of them.
Trevante said he awakened
something new in the ship.
You think that's it?
[Mitsuki] I don't know.
You, stay here. Figure out what that is,
how to track it down, and how to…
[breathes shakily] …how to stop it.
Right. That's what I was doing.
Wasn't "getting my kicks."
- [gunshot on screen]
- [grunting, screaming]
[Nikhil] Is it working?
The neural dampener?
You're not feeling, hearing anything?
It's working.
[gasps] Of course.
A signal disruptor. A signal disruptor…
[screaming on screen continues]
[Nikhil] Am I speaking a foreign language?
I can say it slower if that'll help.
You want us to take every neural dart,
every neural rifle, everything,
and use it for parts?
Miracle of miracles.
Someone was listening.
You are telling us
to disassemble our weapons.
To build a bigger and better one, yes.
But we'd be stripping ammo
instead of arming up.
Listen to me. The darts don't work
on the hunter-killers anymore.
But they're all governed by that hive.
Yes, one giant brain
made up of electricity.
If we hit it with the equivalent
of a neural EMP, we fry the brain.
- No more brain, no more…
- No more synapses,
no more nervous system, no more
transmissions to the hunter-killers.
All right. Not bad for a medic.
[Aneesha] My specialty was oncology
and cardiology.
But I did my graduate studies at Harvard
in biochemistry
with a subspecialty of neurobiology.
Fuck me. Finally, someone
with functional brain waves.
Okay. So, what I'm proposing is that
we adapt the neural darts
we've been using on the hunter-killers.
So, they're essentially
a high-payload neural inhibitor
that sends an electric pulse,
severing the hunter-killers from the hive.
We amplify them, lace 'em with shard
so we're sure to cut through…
And we give the hive
the biggest stroke in history.
Exactly.
Okay, get to it. All the darts,
neural weapons, back to me.
Yes?
The hive will have redundancies,
like our brains do.
So, even if a small fraction
remains viable, it's still alive.
Okay, so we detonate them all
at the same time for maximum damage.
- Yeah, but…
- Yeah, but what?
People survive strokes
because it's a single blast to the brain.
So the damage doesn't spread the way,
say, cancer or a virus self-replicates.
So if we create something like a virus,
attach the signal to a repeating pattern…
Like a transsynaptic viral tracer.
Uh, a what?
I can say it slower if that'll help.
[Clark chuckles]
Uh, what are you?
- He's Clark. He's my husband.
- And an English teacher.
Lovely. I'll let you know
when Shakespeare might come in handy.
So, it self-replicates, yes?
The explosion doesn't just blow up.
It-It builds until…
Until every viable
neural pathway is destroyed.
That's when we declare a patient dead.
Here. I'll show you.
[muttering] Look.
Aneesha, why don't I know you?
W-Why don't you work for me?
I don't know. I'm here now.
- Look. This.
- Yes?
This is how we're gonna do it.
The tracer…
[sighs]
The tracer starts like this. Here.
Nikhil said you had a eye
to who or what did this?
[Mitsuki] I'm working on it.
Look, here.
This shadow.
That's what did this?
[Mitsuki] I think so.
And I also found this.
You're really good at this, huh?
Eight years telecommunications for JASA.
This is what I used to do.
This is who I used to be.
I don't remember much, but…
I remember this.
I miss this.
It suits you.
[warbling on computer]
[Mitsuki] There.
This sub-thread was recorded
moments before the flicker.
It's outside of human register.
[Trevante] What is it? A bird?
Alarm going off?
No.
I think it's the same as what was
recorded from the portal station
after you came through.
There's something new
in this communication thread.
Something different.
It's not the same language as before.
I heard it on here, and… Listen.
- I heard it on the scout footage too.
- [warbling continues]
It was here at this base.
Whatever that shadow is,
it's sending a signal.
And it's in charge.
I'm working on isolating the signal.
You can hear that?
You can… hear them? Understand them?
Yeah.
Does that bother you?
No, no.
It's just, you know…
That's what you're here for.
It's to our advantage, right?
Well, let me know
if you need anything else.
I will, thanks.
So, are you in charge now?
Yeah.
I am.
It suits you.
[Jamila] Got you something to drink.
[Joel] Thanks.
[groans] I'm parched.
Was any of it true? Anything you told me?
All of it.
And you guys are what, some kind of cult?
We're people who've lost people
and wanna see them again.
I know you know what that feels like.
What would you do if you knew
that Caspar was out there waiting for you?
What would you do if people,
like your friends,
wanted to destroy him forever?
How far would you go to stop them?
[Jamila sighs] So you think
your mom's out there? In that ship?
Yeah, I do.
I do.
But it's… it's not just her. It's…
It's heaven, Jamila. Heaven.
Or nirvana, eternity…
They are building it for us.
A new Eden just out there.
And people wanna… wanna blow it up?
You believe in atoms and…
and the soul and love, right?
Why is it so hard for you
to believe in something
that you can see with your own eyes?
It's right out there.
I never wanted to hurt anybody, Jamila.
I know you know that.
I know you can feel it.
I know you still do.
You really like looking out this window.
Got it. Thanks for the chat.
Jamila, wait.
Let me tell you my truth.
My friend stood for us. He fought for us.
He gave everything to kill those monsters,
including his life, so that we could live.
And I wanna finish what he started.
Listen up, mate.
I'm gonna burn your heaven to the ground.
[door slams]
Hey. I need to talk to you.
- I talked to Joel.
- What? Why would you do that…
[Jamila] I had to. Listen, I think
Verna has one of her people on the base.
I know she has people in the Dead Zone.
Back at their farm, or whatever,
I heard her talking to one of them
on a HAM radio.
Joel's been staring
out that window at something.
So I took a look myself.
It's a radio antenna
on one of the buildings.
- Holy shit.
- If we get our hands on that radio,
we can contact the WDC, Trev.
We can call home.
[Trevante] Now, that sounds like a plan.
You stay here.
Tucker and I will check it out.
And stay here this time, okay?
And tell Clark and Aneesha.
They need to know.
- You're welcome. [chuckles]
- Thanks.
Aneesha. I think I may have found
a way to reach home.
- What?
- How?
[Jamila] There may be a radio.
- A working radio?
- Yeah, I think so.
Trev and Tucker,
they are checking it out now.
[Aneesha] I need to see.
You guys go. I'll crack on with this.
- [Aneesha] Where is it?
- The building on the right.
[gasps] Clark, we could reach the kids.
We could call for help.
We could go home.
[typing]
[warbling on computer]
[high-pitched chittering]
[chittering continues]
[soldiers chattering]
…go there together. [chuckles]
[chittering continues]
[Samson] Amoako.
- Hey.
- Don't shoot. We need her alive.
- Go, go, go, go, go, go!
- Shit.
- Hey!
- [Tucker] WDC, stop!
[Aneesha] She took the radio.
Hey!
Stop, goddamn it!
- Stop, stop.
- [grunting]
[Tucker groaning]
- No, no. No!
- Get off me. What the fuck?
Eternity is coming.
[crying] No. No, the radio.
Trev.
No. No.
- [explosion echoes]
- That was one of our mines.
[Trevante] Shit.
[Tucker] How'd you know?
Look. Triggers. They're everywhere.
[crying] No, that radio was it.
It was our only chance.
[soldiers screaming]
[all screaming, groaning]
Sorry!
I'm sorry!
- [distorted screaming]
- [high-pitched chittering]
Guys, please help! Help!
Please! [gasps]
[Aneesha] Stop it! Stop it!
[shouting] What's happening?
Mitsuki, what's happening?
It's the sound. It's-It's the sound.
[Nikhil, distorted] Mitsuki?
Mitsuki, wake up!
Mitsuki! Wake up!
Hey!
[grunts]
Hey! Stop! Nikhil!
[panting]
[chittering continues]
[chittering stops]
[Nikhil] Wake up! [exclaims]
[panting]
[screaming stops]
- [Tucker] It stopped.
- What happened to us?
- [Aneesha] I don't know.
- I do.
- It's the sound I found in the footage!
- [copilot] What?
That's what triggered the soldiers
here before. I turned it up and…
- [Samson] You did this to us?
- What? No.
- You tried to kill us.
- No.
- [Trevante] Everyone, calm down.
- [Chen] She was right next to that thing
- and nothing happened to her?
- Hold on.
- Why didn't anything happen to you?
- [Mitsuki] Nikhil, tell them.
[Samson] She's not like us.
She's one of them.
- I told you. She's a fucking alien!
- Everybody, chill the fuck out, okay?
All right? She isolated the sound
on my orders, okay? My orders.
It wasn't the humans
that killed the soldiers on this base.
That's what I was trying to tell you.
It was the aliens.
Those things aren't just on the ship.
They're out there.
They were in this base.
It was on the video.
[soldiers muttering]
So, why didn't it affect you?
Probably because I'm a fucking alien.
[Aneesha] Okay.
I need everyone to calm down.
Let the effect wear off.
- I need all of you to sit.
- She's right.
Everyone, just step away
from each other, okay?
Tucker, where the fuck were you, man?
One of those cult weirdos was holed up
in the North Barracks with a radio.
- A radio?
- [Trevante] It's gone.
Scout path has been mined.
We have to find another way in.
[all panting]
Come in, Indigo Seven.
Indigo Seven, come in.
[radio static crackling]
Carolann.
[Barnes] They know we're here now.
What should we do?
We'll cut into the Promised Land
and meet up with Carmichael's camp.
Together, we outnumber them.
We'll be waiting.
If they even make it that far.
Path's mined all the way through.
[Verna] Have faith.
[Samson] If the aliens can do that
to our minds…
Take our worst memories,
ramp up our pain, then…
They don't even need to kill us.
- We do it for them.
- [Nikhil chuckles]
What's funny?
We locked ourselves in here
like that was gonna make us safe.
But the worst danger's not even out there.
It's in here.
This is our fucking minefield.
If they can weaponize our minds,
our memories,
then we're all just
walking time bombs, aren't we?
Mitsuki's only safe
'cause she doesn't have any memories.
Lucky her.
And who knows whose side she's on?
Hey. I know
you didn't do it intentionally.
You're pissed off at me?
Because I… What? Because
I didn't defend you or something?
You might've noticed I got a bit
messed up by the transmission.
You did what you always do.
Nothing.
[in Japanese] And you keep doing it.
[in English] Trevante.
- [Trevante] Yeah?
- Look at this.
[Trevante groans]
[Clark] There's a secondary path.
According to the notes,
they abandoned it about six months ago,
but they got pretty far.
How do we know we can trust it?
[inhales deeply] Do we have a choice?
Hey, Tucker, Reese, Hering.
Clark said he found a new path.
All right. So, we could start here.
Obviously, we go through this path.
There's a slot canyon right here.
We could navigate that.
We could cut off a couple of days.
[Reese] That's actually more direct.
[Clark] Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, the explosion was a lucky break.
If we send an advance team, they can
navigate for us before we even get there.
You all right?
[Samson] If this route's faster,
we can travel light.
I'll just go pack the medical kit.
[Clark] But we should still pack
for contingencies.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
What is it?
I just realized something
in there just now.
You were in your element. You were alive.
And suddenly, I could see it.
All those nights looking
at Infinitas threads,
looking at this other life
I thought we had left behind,
but… but you didn't.
- You never really left.
- Aneesha.
You know when… when we first met,
you told me…
you said, "I am with the Movement."
And back then,
I didn't realize what that meant.
It's a part of you. It's who you are.
Okay, stop. Just stop.
- I am not the reason that we are here.
- [scoffs]
You were the one who left, okay?
Yeah, yeah. I know. I know, I did this.
And I blame myself
more than you can imagine.
I should have talked to you,
but I was afraid of what you'd do.
So, I made a choice.
I made a stupid choice
and look where it got us.
Look where we are.
You know, in there, you said… [sighs]
- You said that explosion was lucky.
- Come on. I would…
I know. I know you.
I know you didn't mean it that way.
But, suddenly all the pieces
just fell into place.
Aneesha, you're right. I am in my element.
Because this mission is the only way
that we get home to see our kids.
And I would very much like
to do that again.
[breathes shakily]
And you're doing the same.
I see you with Nikhil.
Right now,
we need to focus on this mission.
Yeah.
Let's do that. [sighs]
This conversation is not over.
[Aneesha] It's okay.
Let's go. Let's end this.
Mitsuki…
Mitsuki?
Mitsuki!
[Nikhil, on radio] Mitsuki, it's me.
[high-pitched chittering]
[panting]
[twigs snapping]
[chittering]
[chittering echoes]
