Previously on Hunters. I've got a DOD bird that'll fly you to Alabama. From

there, you take a car to Breck's home. See if his recollection of the attack on

your unit is any better than yours.

Something happened to me. It's a fuss.

I need to get past it.

Boys, stay inside!

I'm Breck's hunter, running a hidden comm center.

A son of Flynn. You son of a bitch.

You took Regan's father into custody on that Finnerman's behest.

Finnerman's taking point on interagency cooperation.

I guess you're out of the loop. I need to be.

You okay?

I have papers and photos from those boxes in our house. I know Abby isn't

thought she was.

So you're to find out what she knows and respond accordingly.

You want me to contain her?

Please, just call my dad.

Lynn is not your dad. He's all I've got.

Protect him. Protect the innocent.

Help us, someone! Please help us!

It's Regan.

Jackson needs us at HQ right away.

Look, it's four in the morning. I just got home.

We caught a break off the hunter you took out, Bob Breck.

Apparently, it's time -sensitive.

Okay.

I'm on my way.

Morning, sunshine.

I miss your beauty sleep.

Some of us were up all night cleaning guano shit in Alabama while you were

getting your pedicure. This is Bob Breck's setup from home. Breck was using

Spotify just like McCarthy, embedding clicks into a music track.

He shared the song publicly on the Cymatic Society playlist.

We've been monitoring the site, but this just went out.

Hold on, do you love that new wave?

No. It isn't random. The frequency makes it easier to embed their clicks in

electronic tracks. But when you strip it all back...

Stop there.

Rewind it.

Any idea what they're saying?

It's the same as Moose's name over and over again.

That's all I can make out. Oh, that's bloody useful.

Oh, actually, it is. Taron didn't have much more when he cracked the Enigma

code. We'd be further along if Jules Calloway hadn't been a traitor.

And if Regan's father wasn't blowing smoke up everyone's asses pretending to

help us.

All right, Briggs, enough.

Steph's team is making good progress, but we have to move quickly. When the

hunters find out we've compromised their communications, they'll go dark.

And shut the whole system down.

And we'll be left holding each other's hands.

Rough night?

Lumber party.

Yeah? I went to see Abby.

I've been trying to reach her. What's up?

Em knows about Abby.

She found some paperwork in your garage.

From McCarthy's storage unit.

Why the hell did you keep them?

I've been about to turn that shit in, not with a mole around.

How much did she see?

Enough to know Abby isn't human.

Right.

She must be totally freaked out.

Who knows?

Heath, you intercepted a call from her to you.

Finnaman sent me to find out just how much you knew.

Finnaman? Finnaman tried to bribe me into containing him.

Said she'd give me my father's body if I gave her M's.

She wanted you to kill my kid. It's okay.

She's safe.

We made sure of that.

So you lied to Finnaman and Jackson.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Thank you.

She's innocent.

You're her dad.

You two need each other.

Those were Ted's last words.

There's also this.

Ted saying the exact same thing to Regan seconds earlier.

But this time, just to make sure the message gets through, he hammers it home

hunter click.

That's a direct translation.

As in, direct, direct.

He gave us the alphabet.

In plain English, these two messages combined with Brecht's transmissions are

the cipher to Hunter communications.

You've broken their language.

Smash their enigma wide open. My team are already writing code to translate

Hunter clicks into English by tomorrow.

You can expect a dictionary.

So Ted helped us after all.

That's a substantial breakthrough step well done.

Can this translation work the other way around? English to Hunter clicks,

absolutely.

You want to send out a message?

Not a message.

An order.

I need the ghost DM.

Agent Regan reported Ham's phone call was a false alarm. She doesn't suspect a

thing.

You don't look so good. You've been to see medical yet?

I haven't seen them in a week. I just need a little face time with her.

You have kids.

You get it.

Sure.

You go on. I'll keep you posted. Sir.

Cracking the code really is a game changer.

I'm thrilled for you.

I know it's come at a great cost, but your father wanted to protect all the

innocent. That means humans too.

His translation will help us do that.

It's not the translating that killed him.

He did.

Don't quit the ETU because of Finland. I wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

This message succeeds. It will be because of your father.

And you.

Lisa?

It has been so long since I have worn my own skin.

But we are close.

Soon we will all be as one again.

Our battles will be over.

We just received an urgent message from Bob Brack.

Except it's not from Bob. Who's it from?

It's in our language, and it says it's from you.

This is Musa, the purges upon us we gather today.

And then there's an address.

Where? A hotel in rural Ohio.

They're setting a trap.

No one's been waiting years for a message like that.

Now they're walking into a trap. We have to warn them. We can't. The ETUs shut

down our system after they sent out the bogus message.

Then we set up another one.

We're less than a week out from the purge. There's no time.

What do you propose then?

We do nothing.

We could contact the ETU.

Flynn, negotiate.

We don't negotiate with animals.

That's probably what they say about us. You would know. Our people are going to

die. They won't be the first.

Enough.

We use the number station as a contingency.

Stop who we can.

Number station?

Radio broadcasts. It's what we used before the internet.

We haven't used the number station in over a decade. Nobody will be listening.

Some will. As soon as they realize the network is down.

Won't save them all.

And the hunters who show up at the hotel?

They're already dead.

Hey.

Are you okay?

No. You lied to me about Abby.

I did it to protect you. I was trying to keep you safe.

So everything Regan told me is really true.

What kind is she?

What do you mean?

She's a gray one with something reptilian.

What planet is she from? I don't know.

There's lots I don't know, and that's the truth.

You have to listen to me.

The people I've worked for are very, very serious about keeping this a

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yeah. Your friend pulled a gun on me.

That was pretty serious.

Don't tell anyone about it.

Promise. Not at all.

I won't.

But will you promise not to lie to me again?

You work for some pretty scary people.

The bad guys are worse.

Is Abby bad?

I don't know.

We have a clear visual of the hotel from our attempt command center via CCTV.

We will clear out.

All hotel guests and staff are moving our own people.

Several phone lines shut down Wi -Fi.

Secure exits here, here, and here. When the hunters have all arrived, the

perimeter fence goes up.

Nobody gets out. Like Noriega and the Panamanian judge.

Except we won't be blasting heavy metal music. We'll give the hunters an eight

-hour window to arrive and then move in and detain.

How many can we expect?

We know that hundreds listen to the track with our message. We have no way

predicting how many will show up, if any.

For all we know, Musa has a backup system, and he's told his followers that

message is fake.

If any do show up, we can always use them as bait.

Or collateral.

Even better. Their lives in exchange for stopping the purge. We have a PSYOPs

battalion on standby at Whitehall.

The mission is to detain.

Any more questions?

Just one.

Where's our fearless hunter -killer when we need him?

Flynn is on his way.

I should be inside.

I need you guarding the perimeter.

I can tell who's the hunter right away.

And I can find out what they know about Moose and the Purge.

All right, get changed.

Hunters have proved a formidable enemy.

Is detention really an option?

We have the element of surprise.

We've chosen a location we can surround and control.

This is the best opportunity we've had yet to capture hunters in large numbers.

Capture? The value of the information we stand to gain is immeasurable. We don't

have the facilities to house large numbers of these types of detainees, as

know.

Security will need to be tightened before we try that again.

Detaining them will require substantial infrastructure, yes.

You may need to beg a favor or two.

I never beg trust, you know that.

I'll start making arrangements.

No one showed.

Maybe we should pack it up.

We wait.

Keep the line clear.

Car. End click.

Trap's working. Or they're using our own trap against us.

We could be setting ducks.

Or should I say rabbits?

Coming to you, Regan.

Hi. Hi.

Would you like a brimstone?

Sure, let me see what we have.

Mom's smoking.

You've got a friend to write on?

You can't say anything about Abby over phone calls, email, text.

Everything can be traced.

Snapchat disappears?

Not from us.

Tell me if you need to talk.

You're scared, anything.

Just text or call me. Flynn.

Just don't mention the A word. Flynn.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were dead.

It's okay. Don't be scared. Back into the school.

I know what you are. You told her? I figured it out.

Inside. Now.

Em, I'm still the same person.

You're not a person. I'm the same Abby who loves you. What are you doing,

You don't know if she's bad or not. That's what you said.

Listen to Flynn, Em.

Em, we're just gonna talk.

That's right. Please, go inside.

This is not proper conflict resolution.

You're no longer part of this family.

Move. Move!

They've got 17 so far.

Two more.

Like fish in a barrel.

You sure they're all hunters?

I'm sure.

Weird.

It's like they're a bunch of docker dads and docker moms.

Don't let your guard down. Someone there must know about the purge.

What have you got?

Hi.

I overheard your conversation about Musa.

I'm sorry, I don't know why we're here.

Do you?

That's what I keep asking.

We don't know either.

We just heard the message to come here.

With who?

I'm Allison.

I'm Vi.

And this is my husband, Jeff.

That's Lily.

I like your boot.

Thanks. I like your shoes, too.

You're a teacher?

History and sociology.

Des Moines Junior High.

I'm a pediatrician. And I'm in fourth grade.

Really? I go to Seattle University.

Guess we're both students.

You're kind of old to be a student. Well, you...

So, Martha called us here for the purge?

Yes.

Do you know what that is?

What do you mean that he's gone?

Where? She left just after we got the message. I bet she's gone to warn the

hunters at the hotel.

Risking her life to save others. She's a brave soldier.

She's an idiot.

We'll lose her along with the rest of them. Or worse, they'll capture Abby and

torture her for our location.

How many of our people have died for you?

This isn't a sacrifice. She's making it a mistake.

Since we came here, I've had to ask countless hunters to give their lives.

I remember all their faces.

Know their names.

They also died for you, Liana. For all of us.

I'm not prepared to lose anymore.

I'll bring them back.

The hotel will be surrounded.

No way in or out. Don't be foolish.

There is always a way.

You need to call off the roundup.

You first.

Call Muth to tell him to stop the purge.

Flynn, listen to me. The Purge isn't what you think.

You're launching a nuclear attack on us.

We're calling off nothing.

No, that's what I came here to tell you. We're not planning an attack.

We're trying to leave Earth.

Leave? We're not purging the Earth of humans.

We're purging the Earth of us.

We're going home, Flynn.

Everything we've done, it's all been for this.

To go back where we came from, where we belong.

So everything, the bombings, the drugs, the killings... We're a means to an end.

And not the one you think.

If we wanted to attack humans, we would have already, but we don't. It's not

what we want, and it never has been.

Please tell me you believe me.

You lied to me.

Again.

You're dead.

You believe her?

Definitely not.

But then I'm biased.

This is Abby.

Thank you for coming to see us.

I'm Commander Truff Jackson.

If you're going home as you say you are, why do you need lithium or WMDs?

They're not weapons. They'll be used in the launch.

Really?

Why did Moose send you?

He doesn't know I'm here.

I came because you need to know the truth.

The hunters who are inside, they're innocents. Not according to what we know

about hunters so far.

You are drug dealers, murderers, and terrorists.

You're wrong. They're not sleeper agents, and they're not criminals.

Every hunter in there had to take a human life to look human.

Just like he did. We all had to, but it was the only way we could survive.

It's the murder.

Much as I'd like to believe you, I have only your word to go on. Do you have any

hard evidence?

No. But why would I risk coming here if it isn't the truth?

To create a diversion and aid your colleague's escape.

Go for Jackson. Jackson, we need to talk in person.

Not now.

No, this can't wait.

I might have intel about the purge.

Meet me in the service tunnel.

I'm on my way.

Secure her.

Armed guard at all times.

Ben? What do you have for me?

Quiet.

What?

Don't. You don't get to speak.

Everything you ever said is a lie.

I was just trying to look after my own.

That's all I've ever done.

You keep telling yourself that.

You were a soldier. You killed for your country. How is what I've done so

different? War is war.

Family is family. We had a family.

You broke her in the heart?

I never meant to hurt her.

Yeah, well, it didn't work out like that.

Did it?

Well, when you see Em...

Tell her I love her and that I'm with her.

Thank you.

Everyone talking about swimming lessons and timeshares, not blowing anything up.

They are part of Moose's terror network. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be here.

Being a hunter doesn't automatically make you a terrorist.

By that logic, I'm a terrorist too.

You're different.

So are the hunters inside.

None of them have speeding tickets, let alone criminal records.

I'm sure their orders were to lay low, but even if some of them aren't

terrorists, we can't just let them go.

We can't just lock them up because they're hunters.

We are detaining them.

Where? Another black site?

Torture them like my dad? They didn't do anything wrong.

Protect the innocent ones.

There are families in there.

Children just like I was.

I'll talk to Finneran.

How many do we have?

47.

Lock it down.

No one else goes in or out.

We are go for lockdown.

Lockdown in effect. Repeat, lockdown in effect.

Any agents still inside, get out immediately.

Falcon 4 counter -response, get into position.

You have to go. Why?

Come on.

It's a trap.

Let's go.

What? No. I know a way out. Follow me.

Now.

This is the last open exit.

Run.

Stay together.

Don't look.

Be brave, okay?

Lockdown is my call. We've lost the element of surprise.

It's time to strike.

This is my operation route. Suspicious vehicle, south perimeter.

Everybody on full alert.

Out of the vehicle.

I want to see trust Jackson.

Get up.

On your knees.

Watch his hands.

Get on your knees or I'll shoot.

To surrender.

With a suicide vest?

To stop you from killing me.

If you're here to surrender, then surrender.

We won't shoot.

You have my word.

My people will fight to the death.

Unless I tell them to surrender.

If you let me inside, I will calm them.

Then we will all surrender.

Peacefully. Don't trust them.

No one gets hurt this way.

On either side.

Tell me where your weapons are.

Please, Jackson.

Let's bring this to a peaceful end. Huh?

No WMDs.

No deal.

You take off your vest, and I'll let you in.

No!

Yeah.

Thank you.

Now the vest.

That's right, all the way up.

Slowly.

Check them for weapons.

And then let them in.

Wait Check his back

You've

just given him exactly what he wanted the operation has changed

I led you here like lambs to the slaughter.

I have come to set you free.

We're going to have another Waco on our hands. No.

We have the terrorists exactly where we want them.

Regan is inside.

Her intel has these hunters as part of the network, but not engaging in any

criminal activity.

Agent Regan can't be trusted.

Agent Regan has repeatedly proven her loyalty.

She helped these hunters escape.

Let them out a secure door.

Well, there must be some explanation. There is.

Treason.

Take those hunters and Carol's wife inside the hotel.

My pleasure.

What are you doing?

Echo protocol.

You're going to kill them all.

That's genocide.

Genocide? Oh, please, Jackson.

There's what?

47 of them. There's plenty more where they came from.

And we need to strike at their numbers while we still can. If you kill

we'll have no way of finding out where their nukes are. They are a useless

asset. It'll take years to crack a hunter. Time that we don't have.

What about Regan?

She stays with her kind. She's my agent, not yours.

I've made my decision.

You are no longer in command here.

I'm pulling her out.

Get him out of here.

Take your hands off me.

You told me this was a detainment mission.

This is wrong.

Initiate echo protocol.

No hunter leaves alive.

Our intel is clear.

The hunter combatants are not willing to surrender.

Therefore, they leave us no choice.

Biochemical weapons are, unfortunately, not yet an option.

This is a kill mission.

All hunters are to be shot on sight.

Every last one of them.

Command.

Regan's in there.

Are you using her as an excuse to go in and rescue your wife?

I delivered her tea.

Cuffed.

I expect her to walk out of here.

We will not forget your sacrifice. All that you have lost.

You are a true patriot.

Easy for the generals to say when they're nowhere near at the battle

I could go in there and lay down my life here today.

I would do that.

We are what those monsters fear.

And they will fear us.

Jackson, Clint, what's happening?

Briggs, come on, it's me, your favorite guano.

Sharper than the night.

Wakes you under the other hand.

This way.

We have defeated the Exalted, and we will defeat this enemy too.

We all must give a piece of ourselves.

The Hunters have released some kind of tear gas. They've contained it to the

floors. It's a trap.

Do not pull back.

Repeat, do not abandon the mission.

We have lost communication I can't hear anything

I can't hear anything

floor.

Kill this child.

They'll kill me too.

Come on.

Let's get you out of here.
