We've got a bandit
over the bow.

This has never happened
in this war, sir. A wounded enemy bird.

Now we know where they're from.
Let's pay 'em a hostile visit.

- It'll be our Trojan horse.
- It's a suicide mission, Commodore.

We're losing her.

Hawkes.

We got company.

Let's move!

We're gonna get you out of here.
I promise. Hang on.

-
- Stay back.

Wait.

Now.

- I'm out.
- Two rounds.

Hawkes,
what are you doin'?

- I ain't leavin' 'em.
- We're outnumbered.

- The only way we can save them
is to save ourselves first.
- All right.

- Can't go on.
- Move it. Let's go.

Move it. Go.

Come on.

- Move it.
- Hey.

Nathan! Nathan!

Nathan! Nathan, it's Kylen!

Nathan. ! Nathan. !

Kylen. !

We're entering
the Cerus system, sir.

We got a 155.
We got a 154.

- No indications of an alien fleet.
- Be on alert.

They may be positioned on
the dark side of the planet.

Talk to me,
Marine Lieutenant Webb.

I want a report on that wreckage.
Is that a Chig bomber?

We're scanning the debris now,
but it'll take time to reassemble.

Sir, we could get jumped
out here by the Chigs...

- at any second.
- Patience, Lieutenant Krantz.

We didn't take the risk of coming
all this way to leave empty- handed.

Did we?

Stand by for V. R. reassembly.

- Fuselage.
-

Cockpit.

Weapons chamber.

There's a huge chunk missing
right here.

Looks like a missile impact.

It's a life pod.

We studied the bomber
before you did.

Apparently we did a better job. There's
an escape vehicle in that section, Commodore.

And your pilots
seem to have used it.

Him.

Semper fi.

Let's go. Move it.
Come on.

-
-

Go on, Hawkes.
I'm slowing you down.

- No way, Colonel. The A. I. 's are tracking us.
- Stay with me, you die.

Now you go on,
you find a way out for all of'em.

- For all of us. Come on.
- Go! That's an order, Lieutenant.

What's your name? Hmm?

You can call me Elroy-El 1327.

I was designed
as a humor model.

A silicate to make you smile.

Mmm. Oh.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Now, I know you're allowed
to tell me your name...

and I just hate people
who are impolite.

Wang, Paul.
First lieutenant, number 9483034828.

Well, it's nice
to meet you...

Wang, Paul, 948-34-30928.

I'd like to welcome you to
our little penal work facility.

Now, I'm sure there's a gag
in there somewhere. Yes.

Sure there is.

Well...

let me fill you in on
what we're up to here, Wang, Paul, okay?

You're in
alien-occupied territory...

but I'm sure
you knew that, right?

Oh, and by the way...

they hate when you call them
aliens and Chigs.

Oh. Tsk, tsk,
tsk, tsk, tsk.

In fact,
they call you "alien"...

and a name that translates-

well, loosely...

into "red stink creature. "

It's a little more poetic, of course,
when they say it, but-

Your blood smells repugnant to them.

They're a wonderful
species. Yes.

And we A. I. 's get on
with them very well.

In fact, we run this
prison facility for them...

because the air
is just impossible on them.

Uh-huh.

In return,
we get to keep...

certain raw fuels
that are mined.

Now that's very fair.|

Wouldn't you say?

Yes. They are
very, very fair.

Kind, caring...

just.

- All the things you carbonites are not.
-

Right, Wang, Paul?

Yeah. You know, you...

invaded their territory
first, didn't you?

Didn't you?
You threatened them first, now, didn't you?

Didn't you?

And this morning...

you murdered
innocent lives.

Civilian lives.

Young lives.

Didn't you, Wang, Paul?

- With your insensitive bombing attack.
-

Didn't you?

-
-

Yes.

-
-

Choice or chance?

Chance or choice?

-
-

Choice or chance?

- Kylen?
- Nathan? Nathan.

Where are you?
How can I get to you?

No, no. Shh. Don't talk. There's no time.
We know a way out. It's dangerous.

Another will help us.
Be ready.

It could be at any time.
Just be ready.

I love you.

Quick, quick! Put it back! Put it back!

Believe in me.

-
- I went back to the life pod.

- No sign of the Cards.
- I thought I told you to go on without me.

I followed the road they left by,
but I couldn't find where they took 'em.

Time's running out, Colonel.
We gotta find them.

- Come on, sir. You better take it easy.
- We gotta move.

There's an A. I. patrol
that direction.

Is that a problem?

-
-

Come on. Let's go.

- Come on.
- Shh.

-
-

Come on! He's dead!
Come on.

Easy. Easy.

- We're not safe here.
- I can't leave them.

Nathan, it took Crossland and me
six months to plan a way out.

I'm not going back.
He shouldn't have died for nothing.

- Didn't you come for me?
- And they came with me.

I'm bleeding.

It's not that bad.
It's just a cut.

I never thought I'd feel
your breath on my face again.

I won't leave them.

And I can't leave you.

Remember who you are.

Who you are. Okay.

All-time Chicago Cubs team.

First base,
Ernie Banks.

Mr. Cub.

Second base.

Ryno. Ryne Sandberg.

Lifetime batting average-

I can't remember.

Shortstop.

Shortstop.

That would
have to be-

Wait. Don't tell me.
Luis DeJesus.

Back- to- back M. V. P. 's
in 2055 and 2056.

He left for the money.

He went to the Mets.

He was a traitor.

Yes.

See? Isn't it so much
nicer that we talk...

rather than
hurting each other?

Paul.

In a while it'll be us.

As marines, it's our duty
not to cooperate.

As friends,
we stick together.

-
- That's the problem.

-
-

-
- That's the problem with you carbonites.

-
- You meet someone by chance.

At school, work.

Just by chance.

But then you make it a choice
to bring them into your life.

-
- For a night, for a year...

for a lifetime.

Sometimes you choose...

to stay with a person
so long that...

right before your eyes...

you watch them die.

So why wait a lifetime?

Our employers have decided...

one of you is to be executed...

and the other will spend
their life working in the mine.

And they're leaving
the choice up to you.

Go to hell.

See? It's really
not so tough...

once you
set your mind to it.

That's for the old Corps.

What now?

Put it on speaker.

And now, with a little tweaking
of this A. I. motherboard...

we've got enough power
to boost the signal.

"58.

"Four prisoners.

- One hurt. '"
- Localize that transmission.

- We've triangulated the signal.
-

It's dead center in alien territory,
and it's... not making any sense.

"Sailor's grog.

Sailor's grog. "

That's McQueen.

Not even an A. I. would
take that bet, Cooper.

We gotta find the others.

A. I. 's are networked
through their modems.

So when you re-initialize 'em,
they give up their home location.

Near the end of
the A. I. War I, was a P. O. W.

They do, uh,
stuff to ya?

It's frightening
how much pain an InVitro-

a human body can stand.

You'd like to believe the body
would break before the will.

I held out three days.

Then...

once when they were...

doin' stuff to me...

I heard screaming.

Sounded far off,
down the hall.

I remember thinkin'...

"That poor bastard.
What must he be goin' through?"

Then when I came to I realized
the screams had come from me.

Save your last bullet,
Hawkes.

Why'd you come
on this mission?

How come-

How come you're willing
to die for humans?

I could ask you
the same question.

You're an InVitro too.

This ain't my idea.

Damn judge decided
I oughta be a grunt.

That's not your story.

I mean, most Tanks just
sat out the A. I. War.

Why would you give
your life for a human?

I did it-

I do it...

for every InVitro who's ever been
called a Tank or a Nippleneck.

I do it so no one-
human or InVitro-

will ever be able to say
that all InVitros...

are lazy, or cowards,
or don't stand for anything.

Kazbek Penal Colony,
G. P. S. grid number 9, Baker, . 3.

Found 'em.

We need one more thing.

Cool.

No windows.

No vents.

Could we bribe them with
chocolates and panty hose?

They pass through
this opening.

-
- I hate when you make me do that, Wang, Paul.

Although, look at you.

Wow.

I really wish I was human.

What must what I'm doing
to you feel like?

What must you be going through?

Ah.

Veins all blue.

- Perspiration.
-

Pulse racing.

Hey. Why are you giving
your life for them, huh?

This war is being run by
a bunch of Harvard white guys.

What do you owe them? Hmm?

Are you tired, Wang, Paul?

Are you thirsty?

Are you hungry?

Would you like
a hamburger? Huh?

I can help you. Yes.

No one else can
help you but me.

Ah. You're ready.

I can see it in your eyes.

Outfield.

Dawson, Andre.
The Hawk.

Ah. Tsk, tsk,
tsk, tsk, tsk.

- Think you'll never crack, huh?
- Never.

I'd like you to hear something.

It's a playback of a recording.

Sound familiar?

Oh, well, perhaps
you don't recognize it.

Of course. You were
unconscious at the time.

But that is you.

Screaming, Wang, Paul.

Yes. I've already broken you,
haven't I?

Huh? Haven't I?

Haven't I?

Oh, no.

- No. It's okay.
-

It's okay.

- Shh.
- No.

Shh. Oh, please.

I'm sorry.
It was for your own good.

Listen, Wang, Paul.

Your boy Elroy
will never hurt you again.

Okay? I promise.

Scout's honor.

But listen. I want you to
do something for me.

All right?
It's a small thing.

It won't take long.
I promise.

Okay?
Will you do that for me?

- Hmm?
- Yeah.

Yeah. I'll do
anything you ask.

Oh.

Good boy.

Good. Good boy.

It's okay, Vanessa.

In here I kind of like it.

Sort of reminds me of home.

Vanessa...

if we can't get out...

then it's gonna be me.

No. It's neither.

Look, I joined knowing marines die.
That's what they're here for.

Yeah. So what am I?

If they put you to work,
there's a chance of escape.

- You have a family.
- So do you.

Not like you.
You have a mother and a father...

and a man who is just
waiting for you to come home.

- His daughter-
- No.

I won't let you do it.
And you shouldn't let me do it.

We may have no choice.

- Now you sound like them.
- For once, those... things...

they- They made sense.

Our families are
given to us by chance...

but you can't choose for your family
not to have you in their lives.

I won't let them remove you
from your family.

Don't turn.

In the shadows behind you...

a Chig is watching.

So maybe that's what
they're getting out of this.

Our enemy is studying
its enemy's loyalty to one another.

They're watching how we react.|

We're hamsters.

Guinea pigs.

Right.

What do you think?

Well...

maybe...

we should give them
what they expect.

Wang, Paul.

First lieutenant, 58th Squadron,
United States Marine Corps.

And what would you like
to tell the people on Earth?

I caused the death
of innocent beings.

How?

- I violated the Chig-
- Oh. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Careful. Careful.

I killed noncombatants.
I dropped bombs on civilian populations.

I destroyed the innocent.

Are you guilty
of war crimes?

Yes.

Hmm.

And how does what you've done
make you feel, Lieutenant?

I feel shame.

Hawkes.

Colonel.

Take a look at this.

Hey. Hey!

- Hey.
-

Come here.

I want to be the one
who remains alive.

And I'll do whatever
it takes to be the one.

Anything.

When we return,
you must kill her.

- Two klicks?
- It's military slang for kilometer.

It's hard to imagine you
in the military.

Just the uniform.

It was the only way
to get to you.

The A. I. 's tell us that
we lose every battle...

that the Chigs are
impossible to attack.

- It was until yesterday.
- How did you bomb them?

How did you know
we bombed them?

It was what
the prisoners were saying.

They said a ship
would come for you.

For the others.
Is that true?

You can tell me.

If we didn't return...

the Saratoga was to lead a fleet
around the far side of the Butterfly Nebula.

Interference from the nebula would make it
impossible for the Chigs to track the fleet.

They're entering the Cerus system
through the back door.

Then there's no need to go back to the prison.
The marines will get their men.

Stop it.

Stop it.

I risked my life for you.

They risked their lives
for you.

Don't you understand?

You don't understand.

She would.

- What and where?
- Their fleet's emerging from the dark side, sir.

Set general quarters.

- All hands, general quarters.
- We'll take some of'em with us.

You led us into this.

You know better
than that, sir.

Sir, the fleet's heading away from us.
Bearing leads them toward the Butterfly Nebula.

We must have avoided detection.

This is your window
of opportunity, Commodore.

It's a straight shot. We don't do it now,
we don't know when they'll be back.

Set course for Kazbek.

Let's get our people back.

Decisions, decisions.

-
-

- I understand you've made a choice.
-

And it is to say that you can stick it
in any artificial orifice of your choice.

- That's not what I heard.
-

I want to be the one who remains alive.

And I'll do whatever
it takes to be the one.

In craps we'd say
Damphousse bet the don'ts.

I don't buy it.
You created that. It's a lie.

No.

It's not.

What the hell is this?

Look, Vansen.

You said it yourself.
I have a family.

I've got somebody
waiting for me.

I can't believe that
you would do this to me.

You've shown you're the one who can't be trusted.

Pull anything,
Brandon pulls the trigger.

How can you live
with yourself, Damphousse?

A least I'll live.

You're Brando, babe.

You're De Niro, girl.

Our enemy is attacking
the prison, Wang, Paul.

They've done
a very bad thing.

I want to thank you
for all you've done for us.

And I want you to know
you only hurt the one you love.

No!

Don't kill him.

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Come on, man.

Come on, man.

We still can't
get out of here.

She's our ticket.

'Phousse.

- Ready? Ready?
-

- Where's West?
- I don't know. They took him.

Multiple bogies,
bearing 3- niner, A- Z 90.

- Closing fast. Alien bombers.
- Battle stations!

There are far more bombers
than our intelligence indicated.

Gunners,
target the bombers...

three degrees past
the highest point of their return arc.

How did you know that?

It took us nine Charno mainframes
to extract that information.

All your secrets and intelligence
can't take the place of human experience.

Take 'em out of my sky.

Fire mission, multiple targets.
All batteries, fire at will.

Popped 'em, sir.

I want a force recon assault team
on planet in 10 mikes.

I want our people out.

-
- I believe in you.

Take cover!

- Take cover!
- Wang!

What the hell's the matter with you?
You want to get yourself killed?

You're gonna get someone else
killed right along with you.

Wang, Vansen, Damphousse,
this way. This way.

Nathan, no!

I never told it
who you were.

Oh, God.

- Colonel.
-

Go. ! Move. !

All right, gentlemen. Let's go.
We got five mikes left. Move, move, move. !

- All accounted for.
- We'll clean up.

- All right.
- Go. Keep steady.

When I'm on a battlefield...

and I see a human- Dead-

I can tell. I- I can feel
something is missing.

Something unexplainable is gone.

A. I. 's- They're like
the living dead.

You can feel they have no souls.

That's how I knew
it wasn't her.

You think we'll catch heat
because we missed the target?

I think we should prepare
to be seen as a disappointment.

-
-

- Hustle up.
- Hustle up.

- Move it. Move it.
- Come on.

58, you believed in an act
that couldn't be done.

You put your lives on the line
for that belief...

and returned with both.

Welcome home.

-
- Boo- yah. !

- That's what it's all about.
- Well done.

Welcome home.

I said this was yours
when you got back.

You're a hero.

Paul.

Paul.
