- Becca?
- Don't worry. You're safe now.

- Get away from me! Get away from me!
- Okay, calm down!

- Who are you?
- You were shot. We found you.

Wait! Where are you
going? Where am I?

Are you gonna literally
bring a knife to a gunfight?

- Please, put that down.
- I'm not putting anything down

until you tell me where I am

and why you got me
locked up like a prisoner.

You are in Cornelius,
North Carolina.

My name is Willie McComb.

I live here with my daughter, Alicia,
whom you've met, and her children.

I shot that flying thing
that had a hold of you,

and I also pulled a
bullet out of your leg.

Not one of mine.

No, I know whose it was.

So you some kind
of criminal? Thief?

Is that why you got shot?

No, listen to me.
I can't stay here.

You're not going anywhere.

That bullet tore
a hole in your leg.

It'll be fine in a few days,
but you gotta stay off it.

I was a medic in 'Nam.

I don't think you
understand. There's a war on,

and I've got people
out there waiting for me.

No, sir. There is no
fight here, no war.

This is a safe place.

Some fresh clothes. You
can clean up if you want.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Damn it.

Where's a gas station
when you need one?

We need to find a real nurse.

Does your gang have a medic?

2nd Mass. Stands for
"2nd Massachusetts."

2nd Mass?

Is that some callback to
the Revolutionary War?

Like you're the Continental
Army fighting the British again?

Yeah, pretty much. How
you know about that?

My dad was a history buff.

Yours, too? Mine
was a history teacher.

Huh.

We'll find him. Don't worry.

Here we are, good people.

Welcome to Fayetteville,
North Carolina,

a rendezvous point
before continuing

to the naval base in Norfolk.

From there, it's D.C. or bust.

For the next few days,
this is home, sweet home,

so fire up the Jacuzzi -

and get cozy!

Let's get to it.

Hey, Anne.

Hal and dad, still
no word on them yet?

- Pope took Hal.
- What?

He kidnapped your brother.

He went out there
to go get him back.

Ben and I are taking
one of the trucks.

- We're gonna go find him now.
- No, you can't do that.

Whatever's waiting for us in
D.C., I need you guys there.

There's no way around
it. You two and your spikes

make you the star
soldiers of the 2nd Mass.

We need to stick together, okay?

I need you, both of you.

A whiskey distillery.

How did you conveniently
find that on a map?

Well, it was not the
Colonel, Anne Mason.

It was the Volm tracking device.

It can detect and track
jamming interference.

But we surmise that
the Espheni are hiding

an extraordinarily powerful
communication apparatus here.

I'll have my men set
up sentries, recon,

patrol the perimeter
for any sign

of this communication
device, Cochise. Thank you.

Mmm-hmm.

It's so coincidental
that we ended up here.

Place feels like home.

Colonel, I got your bags.
Toothbrush, front pocket.

Socks and undies in
the side compartment,

separated from
the outer garments.

I got your trousers
rolled to the front...

Hey, no need for that, Marty.

I need to help, Colonel.

You saved my life.

I can't leave a big debt unpaid.

I can handle my gear, and
you can stop feeling guilty.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no, you got me!

- Aah!
- So close!

Ooh, I almost got you.

Almost!

Oh, no, I ran out of shots.

- Put the toys away, please.
- Okay.

What happened to your leg, sir?

You're up. You feeling better?

Seeing as you're our guest,

why don't you sit at
the head of the table?

Dear Lord, we ask
you to bless this food,

and we also thank you
for our new friend, Tom,

- and pray for his speedy recovery. Amen.
- Amen.

Would you like some potatoes?

Thank you. Pass
me the corn, please.

Okay, Grandpa.

You have to make sure you
eat some vegetables, sweetheart.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay.

- I'm okay. I'm sorry.
- No. That's fine.

How about some cornbread?

1,000 acres.

No major roads, no neighbors.

Good tree cover.

- Paradise.
- Yeah.

And we farm, we
fish, live off the land.

Trap rabbits, squirrels,
catch crawdads in the creek,

get our water from the spring.

I got a gas generator.

I was big on stockpiling
before the invasion hit.

And as soon as it did,

I figured it had to
be judgment day.

Yeah, well, I guess we all
figured the world had ended.

All I could do was

protect my family and wait
for the doggone thing to pass.

And that's one thing you learn
when you get to be my age.

Everything passes.

Everything.

Not that we haven't
had a few scares.

Explosions and rockets
flying through the air.

Bought this property 40
years ago with the wife.

She died.

That was just
before our son-in-law

died in Afghanistan,
which is when

Alicia moved up
here with the kids.

Their dad was a
paratrooper, and a good man.

No, the biggest
problem we've had so far

is just keeping all of
that stuff away from them.

You mean the kids
don't know about the war?

And not telling them,

- best decision we ever made.
- You think?

- I can understand why Alicia wouldn't...
- Look, I served.

So you and I both know
that war is not a pretty thing.

The more we can shield
those kids, the better.

I can exit the room if you
wish to speak privately.

No. Stay. It
actually might help.

What is it, Maggie?

- Sorry, it's a zoo. What's going on?
- Um...

My spikes.

- I want them out.
- What do you mean?

You want... You want me
to perform surgery right now?

Yeah, I do.

Maggie, it was no small feat

getting those
spikes in your spine

in the first place, and
you don't wanna risk

being a paraplegic.

Wait, just... Wait a
second. Talk to me.

What is going on here?

Okay, Cochise has
the Volm device to do it.

He said it'll take
less than an hour,

and the spikes have a healing...

An engineered bio-plasma.

There is a chance the
spine has regenerated,

making removal of the
spikes potentially harmless.

Potentially.

I'm willing to take the risk.

Is this about Ben?

We're at a critical
point right now, Maggie.

We're on our way to D.C.

I'm not saying no. I'm
just saying not right now.

Oh, right, I forgot. I'm
one of your star soldiers.

You can't afford to
lose amazing Maggie

and her death-defying
feats of skill,

no matter what it costs me.

That is not fair. We
have all paid a price.

I know.

I know I'm being
selfish, but, Anne,

I have been a private
person my whole life,

and I need that
independence back.

The ability to choose
who I wanna be,

how I wanna act, I'm no use
to anyone anyway without that,

or this war.

I'm sorry, Maggie.

As soon as all of this is over,

I will help you, I promise.

It's not personal.

How could it be more personal?

Hey, hey, hey. You see this?

- You got him.
- This is the one that took my dad.

You see this? This
is his jacket right here.

There's some tracks right here.

Let's go.

I see the President is still
battling Congress over the budget.

Some things never change.

Sorry I'm late.

You know your mother worries
when you miss dinner like that.

I know. I said sorry.

This here is Tom.

He took a bit of a spill,

so we're gonna help him heal up.

Tom, this is my
oldest grandson, Kyle.

- Hi.
- Is that Kyle?

Go on. Get in there.

I told you about this.
KYLE: Hey, lay off, Mom.

Uh, do not speak
to me like that.

- How old is he?
- Fifteen.

You know you are to
be home for supper.

Whoa!

It's okay. I just cut myself.

Oh! Oh-ho-ho.

I broke a glass.

Wrap this around it.

- Okay.
- Keep it elevated.

Ooh. Okay.

Why don't you see if you
can find a fresh bandage?

- Kyle, first aid kit. Come on.
- Yeah, yeah.

My dad said he explained
our situation to you,

that my kids, they don't know...

Yeah, it's none of my business.

They're just children, you know?

Mmm-hmm. Not my business.

Okay. Good. Oh, this is great.

All right, when I unwrap it,

I'm gonna put this
over the wound,

and then I want you to wrap it
really tight with gauze, okay?

- Okay.
- Ready?

Okay.

Start wrapping.

- Go.
- Yeah.

- Like this?
- Okay.

- Keep going. Wrap it around.
- It'll be okay.

- You got it?
- Yeah, yeah.

Round and round. - Yeah.

Are you a doctor?

No.

Little tighter, little faster.

No, I'm not a doctor. My
kids and I have had to do

our share of injury wraps
over the years, though.

My youngest son, Matt, he's

13, he's pretty good at it.

On-the-job training, I guess.

Kyle?

Okay, I get it.

He's sheltered and he's too big

to be freaking out
at the sight of blood.

You're used to fighting.

You think everyone should
be fighting, even your own kids.

Well, we didn't really
have much of a choice.

Well, as long as I
do have a choice,

that's not what I
want for my son.

We've been through
too much already.

I don't wanna discuss
any of this with him.

This war that you're
pretending doesn't exist

is gonna show up one day,
uninvited, on your doorstep,

and after your
father's murdered,

and after you're captured and
tortured, and your kids are enslaved,

then, yeah, I think it
would be a really good idea

if your 15-year-old son knew
how to use a goddamn Band-Aid.

The aliens haven't shown up
here because you've been lucky.

Your luck will run out, and
your son should be prepared.

I am not sending him out
there to get killed like his father.

What? What is it that
you're fighting to restore?

Isn't it this? Normal
kids? A normal life?

I'm sorry. Obviously, I...

Thank you for your
help with my hand,

but I do not need your
help raising my children.

We know the Espheni
are hiding something here.

Narrow down the search, start
looking inside the perimeter.

- Dismissed.
- Colonel?

Hey, I've been
looking all over for you.

- Yes, Marty.
- I just wanna let you know

that your tent
space is fit for a king.

I got your personal
effects organized.

I got your bedroll laid out...

Marty, you wanna repay
me, here's what you do.

This is a whiskey distillery.
Go find me a bottle.

Yes, sir.

Um...

Anne said you might
wanna be alone.

Well, she's right.

I wanna be alone.

Look, I know that none
of this is Anne's fault,

and that I should
probably be grateful

she saved my life with
these damn spikes...

I'm going through
it, too, you know?

Ben...

I've survived by being
in control of myself,

of my body, and that's who I am.

And now I've lost that,

and apparently, with
surgery out of the question,

there's nothing I can
do to change that.

Okay, I'll keep my distance.

I will do the surgery for you.

Forgot the secret handshake.

What are you drinking?

Gilead.

I see.

Give me one.

Your mom would
shoot me in my other leg

if she knew about this.

I just found it.

Like, a whole case in a
wrecked car off Highway 24,

like, two weeks ago.

Hey, look, my dad said he had
his first beer when he was 12...

You don't have
to explain it to me.

I'm not gonna tell anybody.

Thanks.

You gotta ditch the
cigarettes, though.

Those haven't been popular
since the Nixon administration.

Good.

Can't stand 'em.

Was wondering
what the big deal was.

Girls.

There's something
going on out there,

but my mom won't
tell me what it is.

What's, like, happening?

You should talk to your mom.

But you know. I can tell.

Hey, you know, if
my dad was alive,

he'd tell me the truth.

I think your mom's
just trying to do

what she thinks is best for you.

What do you think is best?

You know what?
Drink by yourself.

You're just like
the rest of them.

So, how'd you know
you could trust me?

To help me, I mean.

You mean rescue you?

- Okay.
- I don't know.

My gut feeling told me that if
Pope hated your father so much,

maybe your father
was a good man.

You're lucky to have
a father like that.

So, what was your dad like?

Really?

Right.

So, do you think
this is the moment

where I snivel about my
puppy, share my feelings,

and cry over your
shoulder? Forget it.

Fine. No, no, you're right.

Why don't we chronologically
regurgitate Super Bowl scores?

I'll bet you're great at this
game. But I'll go first. So...

Green Bay 35, Kansas City 10.

- Green Bay 33, Oakland 14.
- Okay, stop.

No, no, hold on.

- We got New York versus Colts...
- Stop, stop, stop.

- No, I cannot hear any more...
- 16-7.

- My father was a diplomat.
- Okay.

He was, um, minister of
foreign affairs in Mexico.

He said,

"Deep down, people are good."

And I was raised believing that.

But I know better now.

People can be savage.

I mean...

I've done stuff that
I'm ashamed of, too.

I'm sorry.

I mean, it's war.

It happens.

Iced tea sound okay?

Oh, iced anything
sounds like a miracle.

Yeah.

You homeschool them?

Yes.

Yeah, you'd be surprised

what you can remember
from the 11th grade.

Oh, wow.

De Tocqueville's
Democracy in America.

I used to love
teaching this book.

- You're a teacher?
- Yeah.

College. American history.

Great.

Maybe you can
answer a few questions

about that book later.

Oh, I'd be glad to.

You know the irony?
I'm a high school dropout.

I met the kids'
father my senior year.

He was the first man to
hold open a door for me, so...

Off I went. Military bride.

Thank you.

But necessity is the
mother of invention, right?

Well, not for everyone. Cheers.

Wish we had someone
like you back at camp.

I mean, the kids
could really benefit

from having somebody
like you around.

Oh.

Listen, this is your
home. I understand that.

I have to tell you...

Kyle is angry,

and he's got a lot of questions,

and he's looking for answers.

You think I don't know that?

I can't imagine trying to raise kids
out there in the middle of all that.

Hasn't been easy.

Your eye looks better.

Flesh wounds.

I'll be out of your
hair tomorrow.

No. Don't be nuts.

You start walking
on that leg too soon,

and, well, it'll get worse.

Well, I've got people that
are wondering where I am.

Well, you're not a burden.

It's been nice having
someone around.

You must understand, I
can make no promises.

Once I begin, there
is no turning back.

I know. It's what I want.

What?

What's wrong?

I was thinking how
upset Anne Mason will be

when she finds out I
went against her wishes.

And yet, taking
care of your friends

is precisely what
I learned from her.

Come now.

Let go.

Oh, no.

Her pulse is faint.

Skin is cool. She's hypothermic.

Damn it.

I was afraid removing
the last spike could kill her.

There's no turning back.

It's cutting off
her spinal column.

We have to get it out now.

You wanna explain to me
what the hell you were thinking?

Not particularly.

Cochise, Colonel needs you
in the storage cellar right away.

His bags are gone.
His closet's empty.

Kyle? Kyle?

Dad?

I checked all the barns!
He's nowhere around here.

I'll check the roads.

You can't drive that
thing! You're injured!

I'll be all right.

I'm gonna head down that way.

Kyle?

It is definitely Espheni
communication technology.

So this is what the Volm
intel was zeroing in on.

Nice work, Marty.

You think the Overlords are
using this to communicate?

It is quite possible, yes.

We have long believed
that the Espheni

have perfected a
transcendental method

to access each other
remotely across long distances.

- A shadow plane.
- Yeah, well, then this must be

some kind of a hub, like
a communications relay.

And if we can access
their communication,

intercept their intelligence...

It could mean a path to victory.

What was it?

There's Overlords, and
they're communicating.

That's a Mega Mech,

used by the Espheni,
our enemies in the war.

We've been at war against
alien invaders for three years.

Most of the world's
population is gone.

Look, I wanna be a
fighter, like my dad.

Take me with you.

These aren't like the
enemies your dad was fighting.

So they're worse,
scarier, whatever.

Look, teach me
how to fight them.

Teach me what to do. I'll
be the best soldier you got.

God knows I could use all
the good soldiers I can get.

And I believe you
would be a good one,

but your mom
doesn't see it that way,

and she's already lost so much.

That's not my fault. All right?

I can't bring my dad back.

Take me.

Please.

Yeah, did you really think
lying was the best thing for me?

But, Kyle...

I'm gonna go fight in the war.

I guess I was holding
out for as long as I could.

But sometimes...

I mean, is this
really what he wants?

He wants to go and
fight, to be a soldier?

Like his dad.

- What would you do?
- Oh.

I don't know that I can
make that choice for you.

I do think that

Kyle has to decide for himself,
or he'll never forgive you.

He can go with you.

I promise I'll look after him,

like he's one of mine.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry. I
just... It's, um...

It's been a long
time since I've been...

Get the hell off my property!
MAN: Whoa! Easy now.

I'm sorry!

Look, you stop
right where you are!

Let me see your hands!

- No, no, no!
- Take it easy.

That's my son!

Dad.

Oh, boy, am I glad to see you.

Wow.

It was a really close call,

but all your spikes
are completely out.

- Thank you.
- It wasn't me.

It was Cochise.

Okay, I want you
to try and stand up.

Okay.

It's okay.

- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I guess you won't be climbing
any 30-foot walls anytime soon.

But the fact that you're
alive and not paralyzed

is a hell of a lot
more than okay.

I've never gone behind
your back, 'cause I trust you.

And I thought you
trusted me, too.

I do. I...

Anne, you always
come through for me.

And I'm...

I'm sorry.

We gotta get back
to the 2nd Mass,

get back to focusing
on winning the war.

Sounds like a solid plan to me,

unless you're thinking
about sticking around here.

Don't tell me you're not
gonna miss this place.

Well...

Let's just say that I've got a clearer
picture of what we're fighting for.

They've stayed out
of it the whole time?

Yeah, they have.

Wow.

Some lucky kids.

Got this old jalopy
working like a charm.

She's ready to go.

Now, you keep safe
with our boy now.

Yes, sir, I will.

Reading material for the road.

Um...

Hey, Kyle.

Yeah?

You remember when you asked
me what the best thing was?

Stay here. That's
the best thing.

What are you talking
about? We decided. I'm going.

Look at them.

I'm telling you, the bravest
thing that you can do

is stay here and protect them.

The people that love you.

No. You can't just
change your mind.

This is what we're fighting for.

We're gonna win this war.

We're gonna rebuild America.

There's gonna be a lot
of battles yet to come,

and they're gonna need to be fought
by strong families, led by strong men.

I knew it.

I felt something,

like a piece of myself
being torn away.

I just didn't wanna believe it.

You could have told
me that this is what

- you were planning to do.
- I wanted to.

Please know that I wanted to.

Maggie, I...

I gave a part of myself to you,

and you threw it away
like it was garbage.

You know what?

You probably would've
talked me out of it,

and then I wouldn't
have gone through with it.

I would have tried
to understand.

I'm sorry, Ben.

But I had to.

But I love you.

Thank God.

What happened?

Well, I got shot.

I got shot, too.

Uh, I'm sorry to cut
the reunion short,

but Mason and I got business.

And this here, this is my
youngest brother, Matt.

We were worried about you.

Thanks for looking after him.

- You made it.
- Yeah.

- You're hurt. Are you okay?
- Yeah, no, I'm good.

Your spikes.

They're... They're gone.

Mmm-hmm.

Uh...

So, Isabella, this
is... This is Maggie,

and, Maggie, this is Isabella.

I've heard a lot about you.

- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.

It's nice to meet you.

Yeah, nice to meet you, too.

Hey.

Welcome back, Mason.

You actually don't
look like shit this time.

- My squeaky wheels got a little oil.
- Good.

Then you'll be ready more
than ever for the big showdown.

I think we found the first
nail in the Espheni's coffin.
