Batteries.

Why don't they
just come?

What are they
waiting for?

Godot.

Okay.

M-A-M-J-J-A-S-O.

What letter comes next?

Uh, N.

March, April, May,
June, July,

August, September, October,
November.

- Who's chasing you, man?
- Batteries.

Oh, right.
Here you go.

Try this one, Einstein.

I'm looking for a word.

The first two letters
indicate a male,

the first three a female,

the first four a great man,

the whole word
a great woman.

What's the word?

Tricky.

Matt?

If I wanted to go to school,
I would've stayed home.

Nice talking with you.

Got it.

He, her, hero, heroine.

Yeah,
that's way too easy.

I thought
the bubbleheads

put up a safety net
around Charleston.

That's why God made people
like you, Craze, not to think.

What I'm trying to say is,
if they did,

why is it necessary
for Mason

to have us
practically living out here?

She's got a point.

What the hell do you think's
gonna happen if we get invaded

while those bubbleheaded
bastards are over there

roasting wienies
in their compound, huh?

We all get scorched.

I'm not taking
any chances.

Maybe
the Professor's wrong.

Maybe the Fishheads
aren't coming.

Oh, they're coming.

You can throw out a mosquito net
the size of Texas.

What happens, huh?

One always gets through.

That's why we're here.

They are coming.

If not today, tomorrow.

And if not tomorrow,
the day after that.

And when
they do get here,

I am gonna
fry me some Fishhead ass.

Little man,
what do you got for me?

All the good stuff.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I got you
some cinnamon buns.

Cinnamon buns, huh?

Coffee.

All right.

You're gonna make one hell
of a thief one day, kid.

Thanks.

Oh, this is great.

Where'd you get
all this stuff?

You want more of anything?

He looks
like Frankenstein.

At least
he's walking without crutches.

Yeah, I thought
he'd be happier about it.

I'm happier about it.

How are you, Maggie?

Long day.

Looks like my day
is just beginning.

Hal.

What I'm saying is,
outside the military,

there's maybe four people

that know exactly
how this place runs.

What are you
worried about?

What am I worried about?

I'm worried about
picking somebody strong enough

to stand up to them
if anything should happen to me.

Any of the guys you're
considering can do the job,

but unless you're planning on

being impeached
or getting a stroke,

I don't think
we have to worry about it.

In the last two years,
I've been kidnapped,

tortured, shot,
implanted with an eye worm.

Last week, I was almost
torn apart by a harnessed kid

and contaminated
by a nuclear reactor.

I think we can count on
something happening, don't you?

- Dan.
- Tom.

I thought I was supposed to have
Anthony's report

on that investigation
on my desk yesterday.

I talked to him
this morning.

You'll have it
by the end of the day.

Thank you.

Jeanne?

We gonna be ready
by tonight?

8 o'clock, right?

Unless the world
falls off its axis.

We'll be ready.

You know, when you first
pitched me this idea,

I wasn't
too sure about it.

But now I see
what you're going for.

The tree of life.

The tree of life.

The tree of... Liberty.

Liberty Tree.

Yeah.
The Liberty Tree.

I like that.

This is good.

Carry on.

I'm gonna have to
make a speech.

I'm gonna need
some kind of speech.

Here.
It's boilerplate,

but it'll give you
something to work with.

Mm. Mm!

Hey, where you going?

I got to
hit the bushes.

Craze?

Take your snow tires.

All right.

She's old enough
to be your grandmother, kid.

I heard that!

I wasn't talking to you.

Ah, give the kid a break,
Pope.

It's probably the most exciting
thing he's ever seen.

That true?

Pretty much.

Oh, man. That is sad.

You stay down, kid.

- You hear me? Down.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Craze? Craze!

Craze!

Path clear?

I'm on it! Go!

I got this!

Craze?

What's going on?

What's going on is this stupid
vest just saved your ass.

Ah!

Son of a bitch!
Come on, look. We got to move!

- Pope! Pope!
- Let's go!

I can't see.

Don't move, okay?
I'll be right back.

No! Don't leave me!

Craze, you fell
on a piece of rebar.

It's sticking
into the back of your head.

- You can't feel that?
- No.

I'm gonna get some--
I'm gonna get some help, okay?

I will be right back.
You do not move.

Tector!

Go!

I need a hacksaw.

What's up?

We're taking fire
on the perimeter, Tom.

- How bad?
- I'm not sure.

Right now, it seems to be
confined to the northern sector.

The 2nd Mass is out there...
Ben, Matt.

Could be an advance.
Could be a probe.

Or it could be
the Espheni offensive

the rebel Skitters
have been warning us about.

I got to get up there.

Mr. President,
you being out there

isn't gonna change
a damn thing

till we know
what we're dealing with.

You'll be here, right?

Where else would I be?

Then you don't need me.

All right.

Hey!

Hey!

You seen your brother?

Came by, changed our batteries,
and headed out.

- What do we got?
- Ghosts. Lots of firepower.

- Harnessed kids?
- Don't know.

How many?

At least six,
maybe more.

On me, Tom!

Dan!

Cover me!

Cover me.

Dan, please tell me
that's not a human being.

What the hell?

- Where's he from?
- I don't know.

If he's the real deal,

he could be
an expeditionary force

or he could be
some nut job

who ransacked
an army-surplus store.

We should try
and talk to them,

let them know
we're on the same side.

He's right.

If they were
interested in talking,

they would've approached us
before they attacked us.

Listen,
we can't afford

to be having this fight
right now.

Not with the Espheni invasion
hanging over our heads.

- I don't like the idea.
- I don't like it, either.

Ben!

If anybody comes for this guy,
we want them alive!

Yes, sir!

- Tec? That you?
- No.

It's just the kid, Craze.

Come on. Come on down here.
I need your help.

I need you to hold her head,
all right?

Very firmly, but very gently,
okay?

Move her hair back.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Then why did you stop?!

Would you shut your cake hole
for two seconds

and let me do this?

Just pull it out!

Stop moving!

Okay. Okay.

Don't.

Mommy.

Anne?

Anne, hey.
What happened?

I'm okay. I'm fine.

Like you were "fine"
the other night? Anne...

Talk to me.
What-- What's going on?

I want to help.

I was trying
to take her blood.

And she said, "Don't,"
and pulled her foot away.

Then, when I was examining
her blood in the microscope,

she said, "Mommy."

And when I turned around,
she was standing there

in the crib.

Looking at me, Lourdes.

Just looking at me.

Why-- Why were you
taking her blood?

Is something wrong
with her?

It's not normal, Lourdes.

Whatever it is,
whatever's going on with her,

- it is not normal!
- Okay. Okay.

I believe you.

I'm just trying to help.

You seen my son?

He's next door with Pope.

- Matt!
- Dad!

Stay where you are!

I got him, Professor.

What do you got?

Library.
Upper right side.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

I saw the muzzle flash.
He's there.

That's where I'd be.

So, what are we up against,
Professor?

I'm not sure...
human beings.

What the hell they got
against us?

That's the $64 million question.

Medevacs are in.

Western sector reports
two Humvees moving out

across
the Cooper River bridge.

Okay.

If he's in there,
he just lost his ride home.

You ready?

Hey!

We're humans over here!

Stop shooting!

We want to talk!

Can you hear me?!

So much for talking.

He...

She is still alive.

We can't question her
if she's dead.

This bitch shot Craze.

Killing her
won't change that, son.

You sure
this is gonna work?

Just hold her still,
okay?

Yeah.
Don't distract him, kid.

He might
cut off your fingers.

I had this dog
when I was a kid.

Man,
that dog could do tricks.

I'd put a treat
on her nose,

and she'd just sit there
for, like, five minutes.

She could smile, too.

She had
the most beautiful smile.

What was her name?

Annabel.

Sounds... regal.

Yeah.

Yeah, she was.

Till her hind legs went out

and she started
pissing all over the house.

Then, one day...
she just won't eat anymore.

That's a real uplifting story,
Craze.

Shut up.
I'm trying to make a point here.

What's your point?

My point is...

Her time had come,
you know?

Time for what?

Pope knows.

We're gonna
get you out of here.

I'm not gonna let you
die in this hole, okay?

I promise.

Keep sawing.

Oh, I didn't know
you were back.

Cancel
my afternoon meetings.

Tom,
can I talk to you?

I'm sorry, Lourdes.
I don't really have time

- right now.
- It's about Anne.

Thank you.

I found her in the lab
with Alexis this morning.

She was doing a blood workup
on the baby.

So, you're worried
about Alexis?

No. Anne.

She's not in good shape,
Tom.

I think it's possible

she's suffering
from postpartum depression,

maybe even psychosis.

She believes the baby is
talking to her and standing up

and behaving in ways
that just aren't possible

for a 3-week-old infant.

I appreciate you
letting me know.

Tom.

I did all the routine tests
on Alexis when she was born.

They were normal.

There's nothing
wrong with her.

Has Anne talked to you
about any of this?

Um...

Where you going?

I'm leaving.

I don't understand.

Maggie...

God!

What is
going on with you?!

You know
how you accused me

of holding
something back,

keeping secrets
from you?

I was right, wasn't I?

Those dreams I've been having
aren't dreams.

I've been
going to see Karen.

She implanted something
in me.

She controls me...
or part of me.

All I know for sure

is that I've been
going to see her.

Okay.

So, we get it out...
the bug.

- It's too late for that, Maggie.
- No, it's not too late.

We'll go to the infirmary.
We'll talk to Anne!

Listen to what I have to say!
I am the President's son.

I have access
to information,

and Karen wants
information.

We have a mole.

- Do you understand what I'm saying?
- Hal, you're not the mole!

And if you think I'm letting you
out there where Karen is,

you're crazy.

I have to go.

Fine.

Every relationship
I've ever been in

has ended
just like this.

Something happens
that I don't like,

and my head explodes,
and I bail.

But not this time.

I'm not giving up on you,
Hal Mason.

I don't care
what that bitch has done to you

or what she's made you do.

We're gonna undo it,
okay?

You hear me?

I'm not gonna
let her win.

I'm sorry.

- What for?
- For being an ass.

This job, it's, like,
25 hours a day, eight days a week,

and I don't think
I realized

the toll
that it was taking on us.

With this invasion
hanging over our heads,

I've been...
more than preoccupied.

I've been neglectful,
and I'm sorry.

You knew
what you were getting into

when you said yes
to this job.

Lourdes came to see me.

Listen, you don't have to
go through this alone,

whatever it is.

We're in it together.

I know that I haven't
really been doing my part,

but that's gonna change.

From now on,
I'm gonna be there for you.

You have no idea
what you're talking about, Tom.

Okay, you're right.

Why don't you tell me
what's going on with you?

You're not gonna
like it.

I'll keep an open mind.

I don't think
she's human.

The rebar runs approximately

across
the middle cerebral artery.

The dark color here
is blood

because the artery
has been ruptured

and she's hemorrhaging.

- Is that why she can't see?
- No.

The occipital lobe here
controls sight.

And the rebar went through that,
ended up over here,

missing the temporal lobe,
which is in front.

That's why
she's still able to talk.

We're not pulling
that thing out, are we?

Right now, the rebar is the
only thing keeping her alive.

It's acting like a cork.

- So, as soon as we--
- I got it.

The key is the fold.

It's all in the fold.

So, you want to tell me
what happened today?

Your mom says that you've been
talking up a storm

and standing around
in your crib,

staring at her.

What's next, the 100-yard dash?

You know you're not supposed to
be doing any of that, right?

See, this is where
the wings come into play.

You just fold it over
like that...

and pin.

See?
It's all in the fold.

I'm not crazy.

I know.

But have you looked at her
lately?

I don't mean
through a microscope.

I mean, have you
really looked at her?

She's beautiful.

Ten fingers. Ten toes.

No claws. No scales.

She's perfect.

They've taken
almost everything from us.

Don't let them take her.
Don't--

Don't do that.

I am not crazy, Tom.

You're going through something,
though.

I'm not a doctor.
I don't know what it is.

Dad, sniper's
regained consciousness.

Wait for me outside,
please.

I love you.

And I'm here.

I'll see you later.

She say anything?

Name, rank,
serial number,

and a few choice words
for my spikes.

Why were you firing
on my soldiers?

What are you doing here?
What are you looking for?

Katherine Fisher.
First Lieutenant.

- Serial number 02--
- 022487.

Yeah, I heard you
the first time.

Unless you want
to get out the water board,

I don't see her
telling us much.

Well, I hope it doesn't
come to that, Colonel.

Figure of speech, sir.
Figure of speech.

You hungry?

Did you offer her
any water?

She hasn't asked
for any.

- Ben.
- Yep.

Tell you what.

Since you don't feel
like talking,

how about I guess
what I think happened,

and if I'm wrong,
you can feel free to disagree?

You're wasting
your time.

Maybe,
but I got five minutes.

I think you've been out there
checking us out.

Maybe for a day, two.

Maybe more.

I think you saw us working
with Skitters, spiked kids.

I think you saw aliens
you hadn't seen before.

And you probably thought

that you'd stumbled
into an alien compound

filled with human collaborators.

Am I right?

The world has changed,
Lieutenant.

We are no longer fighting
the Espheni by ourselves.

The Skitters that you saw
are rebels fighting with us.

And the aliens you saw
are a race called the Volm,

also our allies.

You really want
to know what I think?

Yes.

I think the only good alien's
a dead alien.

Colonel,
who the hell is this bozo?

You best not
let your mouth

overload your tail there,
soldier,

or this could go south
real quick.

That man is the President
of the new United States,

and you'd do well
to show some respect.

You think
somethings funny about that?

I work for the President,
sir...

the real President,
Benjamin Hathaway.

Who do you think
sent me here?

If it is the case,
I guarantee you

her squad is
hightailing it back

to whatever hole
the President is hiding in.

They're gonna tell him we're
collaborating with the enemy,

and he's not gonna
look kindly upon us.

Unless
she's making it all up.

She could be
spinning a fairy tale

about President Hathaway.

Well, if she isn't,
they'll be back in force.

If she is, then we need
to get to the President,

tell him what the hell
we're doing here.

Professor,
we're on high alert,

anticipating
an Espheni strike any day.

Every man, woman, and child
who can fire a weapon

or fill a sandbag
is spoken for.

We can't afford
to be sending anybody out

- on a wild goose chase right now.
- We can't afford not to, General.

You really want to be fighting
this war on two fronts

against the Espheni
and ourselves?

If Benjamin Hathaway
is alive,

we don't know
where he is.

Unless
we take the gloves off,

that sniper's not gonna
tell us.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I thought
you might be hungry.

And thirsty.

That must've set you back.

I'm sorry
about this morning.

I shouldn't have
spoken to you like that.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

How you feeling?

I'm fine.

I'm not fine.
I don't know.

I mean,
looking at her now,

she's everything I could've
wanted Tom's and my child to be.

But?

But I stopped believing
in Santa Claus two years ago.

You want
to know what I think?

Thank you.

I think for two years,
all we did was run.

We survived
by doing things

we never thought
we'd be capable of.

And now that we're settled down
in Charleston,

it's catching up to us.

We're all suffering
on some level.

I just--

I can't afford
to fall apart right now.

- You know?
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't have to be back
at work until tomorrow.

I can stay here all night
if you need me to.

Thank you.

Wait.

Did Tom send you here?

He doesn't even trust me
with my own baby.

- He trusts you, Anne.
- Just leave.

- Leave, Lourdes! Now!
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I--

Tom asked me to stay
until he got home.

How you doing, Bear?

Hi, Dad.

I brought you

some hot chocolate.

Mm. Hot. Thank you.

I like this.
This is--

This is good.

I-- I think
people are gonna like it, yeah.

If anyone lives
to see it.

The Espheni are coming,
Dad.

We all know it.

That makes
what you're doing here

unimportant,
a waste of time?

No, sweetheart.

This is...

We're all gonna die.

Yes. Someday.

Someday,
I surely plan to.

I mean at their hands.

Maybe.

But as long as we're here,

we can't stop doing what we do,

being who we are.

Otherwise,
we're just already dead,

dead on our feet,
and what good is that?

How do you stay
so optimistic?

If I'm optimistic,

it's because I got
something worth dying for.

Mm.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I heard about
what you did out there.

I'm proud of you.

Sometimes the best thing
that we can do for people

is just to be there for them
as a witness...

...when they leave.

You could be a real pain
in the ass, you know that?

But you could fight
like a banshee.

Thank you.

Nice words, Professor.

But as usual,
too little too late.

Pope.

That's all right, Dan.
Let him speak his mind.

She never should have been
out there.

Hell, she was dead on her feet

long before
that shot rang out.

Man,
you got half my Berserkers

working on your top-secret
bubblehead project,

and the other half are
on the frontlines

just in case
the Fishheads get hungry.

There's no rest.

There's no explanations.

We don't even know what the hell
it is we're helping them build.

Do you?

You don't--
You don't care.

Not really.

Lee's lying in there
with a hole in her head

not because of them,
because of you.

Mr. President.

You.

You're right.

Pope, is that you?

It's me.

I'm right here.

Where's the kid?

Where's Matt?

He took a break.

He's coming.
He's coming back.

You know his name, huh?

Pope?

Yeah, sweetheart?

When we get out of here,
take me someplace, okay?

Sure.

Where you want to go?

Disneyland.

- Disneyland?
- Yeah.

Yeah,
we could steal a car.

No, not just any car...

A nice car.

Just me, you,
and the kid.

I can't go to Disneyland,
Craze.

They won't let me in.

Why not?

I got into a fistfight
with Goofy

last time I was there.

I'm banned for life.

Just my luck, huh?

Pope?

Hal, listen to me.

People died
because of the information

the mole gave Karen.

The Vice President
was murdered.

Do you remember
killing him?

Do you remember
telling Karen anything

that would've gotten
people killed?

Does it matter?

Yeah, it matters, because
she made you do those things.

Whatever it is you did,
if anything,

you're not
responsible for.

Tell that
to the people who died.

Listen to me.

This is treason
we're talking about, all right?

Murder.

Do you have any idea
what's gonna happen to you

if you turn yourself in?

You have any idea how amped up
people are about this?

They'll hang everything on you
whether you did it or not.

Not even your father's gonna
be able to save you.

You better
be sure about this, Hal,

before you say
anything to anybody.

I'm sure.

I pushed the meeting
with Adam Nye to tomorrow.

Water and Power and
the Housing Authority can wait

till the end
of the week.

And I've set the follow-ups
with the V.P. candidates

- for first thing in the morning.
- No need.

I've already made my decision.

- Who?
- You.

Me?

What-- I don't know
if I can--

But it's not--

- I'm not--
- You'll be fine.

President Clinton once said

that there would always be
a place in our collective memory

for those who've willingly given
their lives

so that we could live ours.

Two years ago on this day,
our lives changed forever.

Many of us lost our families,
our friends, our neighbors,

but as I look--

The truth is as I look
around here this evening,

nothing much has really changed.

We're still fighting,
still losing loved ones.

Still living under fear,
still searching for... hope.

In fact, as I look around here
this evening,

it's really hard to look
at what we've built

and not compare it
to what we've lost.

I lost a friend today.

And her sacrifice is
an all too familiar reminder

that every single day matters.

Every single one of us matters.

Every single one.

Tonight, we will inscribe
on the leaves of this tree

the names of your loved ones
who have fought and fallen,

those who have died
and deserve our remembrance.

And so, like my friend,
they'll live here,

on the Liberty Tree, forever.

And though the branches
will undoubtedly grow,

because the cost of freedom
is high,

this memorial means that
no matter how much time goes by,

no matter how hard living gets,
we will remember.

We will remember that it's not
about how long we live

but how we live
and what we leave behind.

And we will remember
my friend, Lee Tedeschi.

And all the others
and why they fought...

and why we do.

Lexie?!

- Take cover!
- Everybody, come on!

Man your defensive positions!

Fire!

Hey!

Hey, let me fight!

Let's go! Let's go!
