Invasion (2021) s02e05 Episode Script

[RUSTLING, THRUMMING]
[RUSTLING, THRUMMING CONTINUE]
Do you hear that?
[PERSON] What?
Something outside.
- [RUSTLING CONTINUES]
- [PERSON] Martin?
[THRUMMING]
- [RUSTLING]
- [MARTIN] Who's out there?
[RUSTLING CONTINUES]
[PERSON] Martin?
What's happening?
- You don't hear that?
- Hear what?
[RUSTLING]
Who's there?
Hello?
[PERSON WHISPERING]
I don't see anything.
There's nothing out there, darling.
You just miss him.
We both do.
- Oh, Lisa.
- [INHALES SHARPLY]
- [MARTIN, CRYING] I just
- I know.
- [LOUD THRUMMING]
- [GASPS]
- [JACKSON] Sarah!
- [VOLUNTEER] Sarah!
[VOLUNTEER 2] Sarah!
- Sarah!
- [VOLUNTEER 3] Sarah!
[VOLUNTEER] Sarah!
- [JACKSON] Nothing over here!
- No sign of her down the path.
- [PANTS] Sarah!
- [VOLUNTEER] Sarah!
Baby, can you hear me?
- [VOLUNTEER 2] Sarah!
- [ANEESHA] Sarah!
[HANLEY] How much longer are
you planning on staying here?
- [CLARK] What are you saying?
- [HANLEY] What if we don't find her?
Every minute we're here, we're exposed.
We're not leaving without
my daughter. [PANTS]
No one's saying different.
If you wanna go, fine. I'm staying.
[JACKSON] I don't think
your daughter is here.
What do you got?
Someone took her.
What do you mean, "someone took her"?
Those are our footprints.
These
Someone else was here when
we were down in the ravine.
Looks like two army Humvees.
And these big boot prints,
they're military issue.
And then there's this.
[ANEESHA EXHALES SHARPLY]
They grabbed her
and left the way they came.
You recognize those?
[BREATHING HEAVILY] Yeah.
She loves the stars.
These new aliens aren't just deadlier.
They're proliferating
faster than we can count.
The others attacked for
territory tactical position
But these simply attack.
- They're calling them "hunter-killers."
- How imaginative.
[BENYA] I'm glad you can
retain your sense of humor,
because we've made
things worse than ever.
[NIKHIL] It's a war, Madam President.
We hit the enemy, they hit back.
We just need to hit harder next time.
These hunters are
impervious to everything.
Fire doesn't kill them.
Mortar, napalm, biological and
chemical weapons barely stop them.
What he's trying to say is, we
don't know what to hit them with.
They adapted. We'll adapt.
Do it fast, Nikhil.
I got in their head once.
I can do it again,
whatever it takes.
Let's hope you're right, Miss Yamato.
No more time limits. No
more monitoring her process.
She's the only tool we have. We use her.
She won't stop until she breaks.
Stalingrad was the single deadliest
battle in the history of humankind.
You chose that as your
paradigm Your perfect victory.
Two million people died in that battle.
But it won the war.
Whatever it takes, Maya.
Whatever it takes!
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
[INHALES]
[GRUNTS]
Luke, have some of this.
[ANEESHA SIGHS, SNIFFS]
We're going to find Sarah.
We're going to get her back. I promise.
If you need to let something out
If you need to say something,
scream at me, cry,
whatever you need
it's okay to let it out.
[WHISPERS] Luke.
Just say something.
It's okay to feel angry.
It's okay to feel whatever
you're feeling right now.
[LUKE] Stop.
Stop talking to me like that,
like some kind of therapist.
Luke.
[SIGHS] It's my fault.
I should have stayed in the
car. We were safe in the car.
It's my fault we were
even there to begin with.
- It's my fault.
- No.
- No, Luke. No.
- No, you don't understand!
Ana.
We need to talk.
Rachel saw something last night.
[RACHEL STAMMERS]
I was on guard duty last
night. It was pretty dead.
Then a military convoy comes
through Headed south on the freeway.
Could be the same ones who took Sarah.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
[CLARK] According to Rachel,
convoy was headed this way.
If you take I-90 to 25 South,
it leads directly to Camp Pierce.
It's the only operational
army base in the area.
[HANLEY] We got chatter in the
air there's some new kind of alien,
cutting off everything south of here.
"Hunter-killers," they call them.
Say they're worse than the others.
- Worse?
- Maybe that's where the military was going.
You mean she might be there?
Yeah, with a whole new breed
of aliens standing in our way.
What are you saying?
- Is he saying you're not gonna help me?
- He's just laying out the risks.
Right, Hanley?
[HANLEY SCOFFS, SIGHS]
What? What aren't you saying?
Why would the military
go to all this trouble
to snatch one little girl?
It doesn't make any sense.
- You think I'm hiding something?
- Are you hiding something?
Let's just all take a break, okay?
Look, if there's something
you need to tell me
now would be the time.
I'm asking you to trust me. I need
to know that I can trust you too.
Ana. [SIGHS]
Who are you?
I'm a mother whose child is missing.
A daughter whose parents are gone.
A wife whose husband died.
A husband I didn't even
[WHISPERS] Doesn't matter.
None of it matters.
They're gone.
They're all gone.
And I was supposed to protect them.
I was supposed to protect her.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[WHISPERS] And I failed.
I left her in that car.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
It's my fault she's gone.
- I blame myself.
- Ana.
And I blame you.
I told you I begged
you to leave us behind.
You promised me.
You promised we were gonna
be safe, and I trusted you.
Ana.
You didn't answer my question.
Who are you?
[RADIO CHATTER]
[DOOR LOCKS]
You were gone longer than I thought.
I was beginning to worry that, you
know, maybe you changed your mind.
Military is looking for you.
They're going house-to-house.
- [KEYS JANGLE]
- And Wade's looking at me funny.
I think he suspects I let you out.
You're on the level about this notebook?
I'm just asking.
That whole thing about the
kid who could stop the aliens
and see what they saw, you
weren't just fucking with me?
You're starting to have
second thoughts, huh?
- Why did you come here?
- I told you.
Followed the notebook.
So, you just drove
halfway across the country
because of some kid's drawings.
And you aided a fugitive
because of those drawings.
What if it's real?
All of it.
What if these drawings
really came from the aliens,
but it doesn't make any difference?
It'll make a difference.
You don't know that.
It matters.
Okay?
[ROSE SIGHS]
My dad was a lot like you.
Fought in Iraq, the first one.
And when he came home, you
couldn't talk to him either.
He needed to believe
it was all worth it.
That it all meant something.
It shook him to his core if anyone
ever asked the question, "why?"
That book.
That boy. He's your war now, isn't he?
What did you think you
were gonna find here?
Answers.
You sure you know all the questions?
[TREVANTE SIGHS]
Wait. Hold on.
I've seen this before.
I know where this is.
[TREVANTE] How much
further is this place?
Few more miles.
[HUFFS] When did you say
this kid got taken again?
Early days.
Before anyone knew what was going on.
Hmm.
Felix just had his 19th birthday.
And then more started disappearing.
- [BIRDS CAWING]
- [ENGINE OFF]
[BIRDS CONTINUE CAWING]
Crows usually circle like that?
So what's that about then?
[SIGHS] I don't know.
But scarecrow's that way.
What is that?
What's what?
[MITSUKI] That noise.
Where is it coming from?
That sound.
You can't hear it?
I don't hear anything.
[MONITORS BEEPING]
Mitsuki?
What's it been doing?
The alien?
Nothing.
No change?
No, not since the last time you went in.
No monitor spikes. No Maydays.
Are you okay?
I can hear the alien speaking.
I thought it wasn't
communicating since the hack.
It started again. Or it never stopped.
- And you know this because
- Because I can hear it.
It's like a low sound.
A clicking inside my head.
It's something I sense more than I hear,
and it's coming from the alien.
- How do you know it's from the alien?
- [MITSUKI] A feeling.
I think my interactions
with it somehow connected us.
We haven't detected any signals
or emissions from the alien
since we destroyed the carrier ships.
[MITSUKI] It's not on any
frequency we are monitoring,
but I know it's speaking.
It's hiding from us.
We need to flush it out.
You have a proposal?
I want to provoke it.
Provoke it to the point
where it shows itself.
[MAYA] And how do you
plan to provoke it?
By causing it pain.
What if you provoke it
to become more aggressive?
What if that something up
there sends more killers?
What if it makes everything worse again?
What if it makes you worse?
I'll need every piece of
equipment we have in the lab.
[CHILD VOICES, WHISPERING] Wajo.
Wajo. Wajo. Wajo. Wajo. Wajo. Wajo.
[WHISPERING CONTINUES] Wajo.
Wajo. Wajo. Wajo. Wajo. Wajo. Wajo.
[WHISPERING STOPS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Hey.
You okay?
I thought it would stop.
Mind if I sit?
We're gonna find her.
I never had any brothers or sisters.
You two close?
Were.
We were a family.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Dinners round the table, right?
All those dinners.
They were just just dinner.
But I'd give anything to have
one dumb dinner like that.
Just a normal
nothing-dinner with my folks.
She annoyed me all the time.
We used to get into
fights about everything.
It all just feels so
stupid now, you know?
Yeah, I know.
But it makes us appreciate what we have.
And who we have.
- Your mom's pretty great.
- [SCOFFS]
You don't know her.
I feel like I do.
I mean, a little.
Like I know you.
Can you keep a secret?
Yeah.
I know why they took Sarah.
They want this thing we have
This thing my mom says
we need to keep secret.
People wanted it, so we started running.
We had to change our names.
It's what's kept us alive.
Hey!
Sam, right?
- Yeah?
- I was wondering if I could talk to you.
[ANEESHA] Hey.
Why are you talking
to my son? Come here.
[HANLEY] Just had something I
wanted to get straight with him.
If there's something you need to
get straight, talk to me, not him.
Okay. Is your name really Ana Lewis?
- Excuse me?
- Are you really Ana Lewis?
Or is it Aneesha?
It's true, right?
Aneesha?
And you're Luke.
[CLARK] Is there a problem here?
[HANLEY] She's been lying to us.
Her name's not Ana Lewis. It's Aneesha.
Apparently, she had some
sort of alien object.
Some sort of shard.
- It's why the WDC came after us.
- [CLARK] Hanley.
We saved your lives, and you lied to us.
- Put us all in danger.
- Hanley!
No!
Everything we have
here is built on trust.
We got rules, and she broke them.
She's not one of us.
She didn't lie.
- What?
- [CLARK] She told me.
She told me everything.
Day we found them.
Told me her real name,
the object, everything.
- Figured it was safer not to tell anyone.
- [MOVEMENT MEMBER] If you knew
So if there's blame
here, it's on me, not her.
I'm sorry.
I put you in danger.
I broke my word.
It was wrong. It
should've been your choice.
I can't promise you I won't fail again,
but I can promise that I will try.
I will try really hard not to.
This is what we do, remember?
We protect the people
who need protecting.
- Even if their lies put us in danger?
- Even then.
Especially then.
If that don't sit right
with you or anyone here,
free to go.
Walk out the door.
Take whatever provisions you want.
But if you stay
we're gearing up at dawn
to go get this little girl.
[CROWS CAWING]
[ROSE] There it is.
[CROWS CAWING]
The angle.
- What?
- It's from above.
The angle of the scarecrow
is from above. See?
So what do you think
the birds are about?
[ROSE] Maybe they've spotted prey?
I think sometimes they'll
circle if there's food.
[RUSTLING]
Or danger.
[THRUMMING]
- [ROSE SIGHS]
- [RUSTLING]
[CROWS CONTINUE CAWING]
[RUSTLING]
Hold that.
This isn't military.
Not police, neither.
Might belong to Martin, Felix's dad.
So what you think Martin was
doing in the middle of a field
with a 12-gauge shotgun?
Shooting at birds?
[THRUMMING]
[MECHANICAL SQUEAKING]
The hell?
[THRUMMING]
[ROSE] It's coming from the house.
- [MECHANICAL SQUEAKING]
- Wait.
[MECHANICAL SQUEAKING GETS LOUDER]
[SWING SQUEAKING]
Martin?
Martin.
Are you okay?
Martin!
[MARTIN, WHISPERING] Wajo.
Wajo.
[CROWS CAWING]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
What's all this?
Electromagnets, mostly.
Have you seen the birds above
the ship? Their flight pattern.
Strange, yes?
Yes.
Birds are attuned to our
planet's magnetic field.
It's like their GPS.
I think the aliens are
connected to that field.
That's why we've had the gravitational
effects on our weather, tides.
If we disrupt the field,
it might affect the alien.
Cause it distress.
Ichiko.
Ichiko?
- What?
- I don't know.
You never gave me a last name.
You just said Ichiko was
your college roommate.
Remember?
If you came here to
convince me to stop
I came here to see how you are.
How are you?
Angry? Guilty? Is that
what you want to hear?
No, it's not.
I wanna show you something.
What is it?
Something that could save your life.
[BIRDS CHIRPING, CALLING]
[MITSUKI] What?
Where is it?
[MAYA] All around you.
Biologists used to think
everything in the forest
was an individual organism,
fighting for survival alone.
But they were wrong.
It's all interconnected.
Everything's connected, Mitsuki.
Even you.
You may think you don't
need my help, but you do.
I'll be watching.
If I see your survival at
risk, I'm pulling you out.
[IN JAPANESE] Ok.
Let's see how you like this.
[BEEPING]
[WHIRRING]
RF is clean, nothing on gravitational.
Spectrometer?
- No response.
- Nothing here.
[DISTORTED BUZZING]
[WHIRRING INTENSIFIES]
[PANEL BEEPING]
- [HIGH-PITCHED HUM] - Okay.
- [CRACKLING]
- [HIGH-PITCHED HUMMING]
[BEEPING RAPIDLY]
[MISHA] Oh.
Report. Report.
We have an RF signal.
Nothing else?
[MAYA] Just the RF.
- [HIGH-PITCH HUMMING CONTINUES]
- [CRACKLING CONTINUES]
[DISTORTED VOICES, INDISTINCT]
Let's see if this does it.
[HIGH-PITCHED ELECTRONIC HUM]
[RATTLING]
[ALARM BEEPING]
We have a microwave emission.
Seismograph's erratic,
ambient temperature in the
enclosure is up five degrees.
Record every vibration, squeak
and dust particle in there. Yeah?
[DISTORTED VOICE, INDISTINCT]
[CRACKLING INTENSIFIES]
[HIGH-PITCH SHRIEKING]
[NIKHIL] Ow!
What the hell's happening?
Mitsuki? Can you hear me?
Do you require extraction?
[ALARM BEEPING]
[MITSUKI] No. Do not extract.
Repeat. Do not extract.
This is amazing.
[DISTORTED VOICE, IN JAPANESE]
Please stop!
Please, it hurts!
Stop!
Please stop!
Please, it hurts!
Stop! It hurts!
Please!
Please, it hurts!
[ALARM BEEPING]
[DISTORTED VOICE, IN JAPANESE] Stop!
Mitsuki? What are you doing?
[DISTORTED VOICE, IN JAPANESE]
Stop, it hurts!
[IN JAPANESE, DISTORTED]
Stop, Mitsuki, stop!
Please, it hurts!
Stop, it hurts!
Martin, can you hear me?
We're getting you help, okay?
[ROSE SIGHS]
Martin, where's Lisa? She's not inside.
[WHISPERS] Lisa.
Yes, Lisa.
Do you know where she is?
She's gone.
Gone where? What happened, Martin?
They, uh [STAMMERING]
It was a, uh, a pull.
It took
Up.
Up?
[MARTIN] Up.
I couldn't I I
couldn't I I tried.
They took her.
- [TREVANTE] Up where?
- [MARTIN WHISPERS] I tried. I tried.
I got away.
I left her.
I left them.
[TREVANTE] Who's "them"?
Billy was there.
W-What? Where?
Up.
Martin, what do you
mean, "Billy was there"?
What are you talking about?
Billy was where?
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
Does your doc drive a truck?
Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
Shit.
[SOLDIER] Mr. Williams?
Mr. Williams, we're here to help you.
[TREVANTE] What are
they gonna do with him?
[SOLDIER] Watch your step.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Hey, Rose.
Rose!
Who's Billy?
What?
I mean, he mentioned Billy.
[ROSE WHIMPERS]
Who is he?
- [SOBBING]
- Hey. Hey.
Hey.
It's okay. It's okay.
[MURMURING, SIGHS]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
Thank you.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth.
I'm sorry I didn't trust you.
I understand.
I'm going to try the trust thing.
Really hard.
I might be rusty though.
Let's go get your daughter.
[GRUNTS]
[ANEESHA SIGHS]
[MOVEMENT MEMBER] You
take the 9935 south.
And if you see it, just keep moving
[CLARK] Okay. Get ready to roll.
It's not your fault.
None of it.
I really need you to believe that.
We're going to get your sister back.
Who do we have?
Each other.
- And all we need is
- [ANEESHA] No.
I was wrong.
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
We need help.
[HIGH-PITCHED HUMMING]
[IN JAPANESE] Who are you?
You know who we are.
We thank you.
Who is we?
what's happening in there?
- Why isn't she responding?
- [MITSUKI, IN JAPANESE] Answer me.
- [NIKHIL] What's she seeing?
- [MITSUKI] Who are you?
- [NIKHIL] Who's she talking to?
- [MITSUKI] What do you want?
but she is responding.
- [MITSUKI] Do you understand why I'm here?
[MITSUKI, IN JAPANESE]
I came here to stop the aliens.
You came here because
of how you hurt us.
How you hurt me.
What did you say?
You remember our first time in Odawara?
With the cherry blossoms,
you said they looked like
A sunset.
What have you done with her?
[CHILD GIGGLES]
You're angry.
We remember your temper.
What do you want?
We wish to know why your
species is in conflict with us.
This planet is our home,
and you're trying to destroy it.
We don't understand.
We can't just let you destroy us.
[DISTORTED CHITTERING]
[HINATA] Like you destroyed me?
Hinata?
- "Hinata."
- It's time to pull her out.
- Mira.
The signal's still holding.
No one has ever gotten this close.
Whatever she's doing, it's working.
She's communicating with it.
[IN JAPANESE] Is there
anything left of you?
Really you?
[HINATA] I heard you playing
our song.
[HINATA] Let me feel you
[ALARM BEEPING]
Mitsuki, what are you doing?
Mitsuki, what are you doing?
- We need to get her out.
- [NIKHIL] No.
["SPACE ODDITY" PLAYING, DISTORTED]
[ALARMS BLARING]
[SONG CONTINUES, DISTORTED]
[GASPING]
- [MAYA] What's happening?
- [TOMAS] Holy shit.
- [MIRA] Oh, my God!
- [MAYA] Get her back.
Get her out!
[MITSUKI GASPING, PANTING]
[SONG CONTINUES, DISTORTED]
[GASPS]
- Get her out!
- [ALARMS BLARING]
- Get her out!
- [MISHA] It's not working!
[CASPAR] Hello?
[SONG CONTINUES, DISTORTED]
Is someone there?
Can you hear me?
Who's there?
Jamila?
[SONG CONTINUES, DISTORTED]
- [SONG STOPS]
- [GRUNTS]
[ALARMS BLARING]
[ALARMS STOP]
Mitsuki.
Mitsuki. Mitsuki.
They're out there.
