Don't Hurt Help Tell me how.
Help us - Our crew.
[SOLDIER.]
Your crew is dead.
The enemy have full net superiority.
My contact with US command is hanging by a thread of enemy-jammed radio wire.
They scramble our comms, and now they say, "Help us"? What do you think that means? negotiating on behalf of all mankind.
She's talking to our astronaut.
- And you know that? - [TRANSLATING INTO JAPANESE.]
- She made contact when you could not.
- How do you know what she's talking to? [SPEAKS JAPANESE.]
remove her now.
We could lose contact.
We cannot lose contact.
That signal is giving us the clearest target we have for missile defense.
You're going to nuke them? As of now, we still have our nuclear defense grid and may not have it by dawn.
So yes, unless she can make peace in the next 78 minutes, we strike.
[LINGUIST.]
General.
You're right, that isn't their astronaut.
Gaps.
They don't match breathing patterns.
Look.
This pause here, there's no space for inhale without affecting vocal rhythm, without sibilance.
It's synthesized speech.
Murai-san.

You're an audio engineer, a scientist.
You know sound.
And you know your daughter.
Is that her? Tell me how to save you.
[HINATA.]
Help them.
Help.
That's her voice.
It is Captain Murai's voice.
[MR.
MURAI, IN JAPANESE.]

Where's your mom? [SIGHS.]
She's dead.
[TREVANTE.]
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
You didn't know.
What about your dad? He's gone.
He left a long time ago.
Maybe if he didn't leave, Mum would be okay.
If he would have took care of her.
Would he have? Like, took care of her? He hurt her, and then he left.
Well, you're stronger without him.

You cut me off! She could die! Everyone could die! That isn't Captain Murai! [MITSUKI.]
You don't know her! I know her.
You don't know her.
Let me talk to her.
Not her.
The enemy.
If you think it's "them," let me talk to them! Why cut off contact? Where's the American? Readying the counterattack.
You fucking idiots! We have less than an hour.
[GASPS.]
She's telling us not to attack! Why don't you get it? You'll kill her! You could start a war! [OFFICIAL.]
Start? Entire cities are falling.
People are dying.
They are changing our atmosphere to poison.
That isn't Captain Murai.
[MAN.]
It isn't human.
It's synthetic.
You're a communications specialist.
I know you can see.
It's her.
If that is Captain Murai, then the only way she's still alive is if she's in another craft.
In one of theirs.
We have someone on the inside.
She could tell us about their defenses.
If that were true, we'd have to prove it's her.
Beyond any doubt.
There's no way we can do that here.
I can.
How? Turn it back on.
[GUNFIRE.]
[PANTING.]
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hey.
It's stopped.

She loved Bowie.

Fix it! Now they're playing our radio stations back at us.
I put you back in there, and we'll be listening to Johnny Cash while they bomb us into the Stone Age.
It's her.
You think that changes anything? You will kill her.
My president is willing to sacrifice one life if it means saving billions.
Are you? It's done.
For what it's worth, I think you stalled them long enough for us to fight back.
You gave us a target to strike.
[PANTING.]
Stay close.
