I can hear you,
you know?

Ah, yeah, yeah.

You scrape your heels
when you walk.

My mom said the same thing.

- She was right.
- I doubt she was giving me pointers

on how to survive
an alien invasion.

Maybe not, but as your partner,
I'm asking you to --

Pick up my feet.

At least when we're on patrol.
Yes, ma'am.

How'd you know I was here,
anyway?

Because you weren't
in your tent,

and this is where you've been
coming almost every morning.

What?

You spying on me or something?

Not exactly... spying.
I'm just...

- Spying.
- No.

I'm keeping an eye
on my partner.

Mm-hmm. Whatever you say,
Hal Mason.

Whatever you say.

What's up?

So, Weaver wants us to scout
pharmacies and hospitals.

Dr. Glass
is low on supplies.

Good. Been in Richmond
for a week.

I'm going stir-crazy here.
I could use --

They're coming!
They're coming!

Matt, what's going on?
Don't know!

Orders, sir?
You know the drill --

take the rest of the Berserkers,
get on a flank position.

I'll come find you
after I talk to Weaver.

Slow down.
Sorry, dad.

No, no. It's okay.
Just stay close to me.

Captain?

Sentries spotted Mech fire
about one klick out.

More than that, we don't know.

Headed our way?
No sign yet,

but we don't want to get caught
with our pants down.

I want all units on
advanced defensive perimeter.

Tom, get your Berserkers
up on point and recon the situation.

Okay. Question.
Make it quick.

Somebody's getting hit,
and they're getting hit hard.

If that's another resistance group,
we should send another unit to assist.

We'd want them
to do the same for us.

Take your Berserkers.

I'll go with Hal and his unit.
We'll flank the area.

We'll suss it out,
but we're not doing anything

to jeopardize the position
of the 2nd Mass.

Okay. Understood.

We move out in 10.
Okay.

Hey, where's Ben?
Thought he was with you.

Matt, you up
to guarding the med bus?

Y-yeah.

Okay. Stand your post.
Keep Dr. Glass safe.

If Ben shows up,
you tell him I said stay put.

Yes, sir -- Dad.

What the hell
happened here?

These some
messed-up aliens.

What do you think,
boss? Hit-and-run attack?

We ever do one
this good?

No. Not really.

No Skitters,
no resistance --

it's like a ghost town
out here.

Let's investigate this mess.
Check for humans.

See if there's anything
we can salvage.

These are all Mech hits.

There's no shell casings
anywhere.

No humans involved in this
at all, looks like.

So these bastards
are shooting each other now?

That'd be different.

Ben? Ben.

Dad! Over here!

Dad, get him off.
Get him off.

Get him off!
Okay.

Okay.

Rick?

It's Rick.

What the hell's
he doing here?

It's Rick!

I removed a huge chunk
of shrapnel from his shoulder.

He bled a lot, but he's stable.

Thought we'd seen
the last of him.

As soon as he's awake,
give me a call.

So you can do what?
Interrogate him?

Affirmative, Dr. Glass.

Last time, Rick took
everything he knew about us

and gave it to the enemy.

We can't have that
happen again.

He didn't do anything.

They kidnapped him
and put a harness on his back

that made him do things
he would never do otherwise.

They did it, not him.

Point taken.

Just...
please, keep me posted.

Of course.

Are you okay, Captain?

Yeah, I'm fine.
It's nothing.

Can you sit down over here?
I told you, I'm --

Sit down.

Please.

Lourdes, the kit.

Looks like those antibiotics you
gave me are losing the battle.

We can give you
some topical relief at least.

You are one tough lady.
Please.

3-year-olds used to throw up
on my head.

This is nothing.

So, that's --
that's right about there, right?

Hey. Ben show up?
No. Checked all the back roads.

I don't know
where else to look for him.

You got to tell him
what you told me earlier, Hal.

Tell me what?

Tell him.

Tell me what?!
Last week,

at the place -- the harnessing facility...
Yeah?

...Ben's spikes lit up.

Lit up? Wh--
what you do mean, lit up?

They were glowing, like Rick's
this morning, when we found him.

It was like he was making contact
with one of those Skitter harnesses.

And you didn't you tell me?

He begged me not to.

He felt like everybody
was gonna go crazy,

and so I promised him.

I don't know. I --
all right.

Has it happened before?

I think so, but he wouldn't
tell me anything else.

- I'm sorry. I should have told --
- Yeah, you should have.

Get your unit together.
I'll get the Berserkers.

We'll make one more sweep
of the city.

But Weaver's orders were for us
to go scout pharmacies and hospitals.

Dr. Glass is critically low
on supplies.

Okay. Then I'll trade you
Tector and Crazy Lee for Dai.

He's a better tracker.

Sure.

Keep your eyes peeled
for any signs of your brother.

All right.

Dad! Dad!

Rick -- he's awake,
and he's really freaked out.

Captain Weaver wants you to
meet him at the med bus.

You hear me? Rick?

I tried to question him.
All I get is this.

He woke up
completely disoriented

and panicked --
he needs rest.

We don't have time for rest.

Is Ben with you?

No. No, he's not.

He's in danger.
We're all in danger.

How, son?

Was he with you?
Yeah.

And he's hurt --
hurt real bad.

- Where is he, Rick?
- I don't know, but I can find him.

What do you think?
Is he well enough to move?

- I suppose. But...
- H-h-hold up. Wait, wait.

We do not know enough

to follow this boy
wherever he says to go.

He could lead us
directly into a trap.

Listen,
if my son's at risk,

it's a chance
I'm willing to take...

Alone, if I have to.

Go.
Okay.

All right.

Now, what exactly are we
supposed to be looking for?

Don't know.

Maybe that.

Rick's spikes are glowing.

He's near.

Ben?

Yes. Ben's near,
too.

What do you mean?
Ben's with somebody else?

This way.

Here.

Ben?! It's dad!
Are you hurt?!

Dad!
Just -- just go away!

Ben...

It's me, Rick.
I brought them here.

Why would you do that?

Because he needs their help.

Otherwise he'll die

and everything that
he worked for will be lost.

Okay?

I'm not gonna let you hurt him.

Hurt who, Ben?

No! That's not possible!
No! No!

Lower your weapon, Professor.
I know this Skitter!

He was on the ship with me!
He tried to kill me!

I saved you, Professor.

I saved you from death.
You know this to be true.

We must talk.
It is urgent you understand.

So put down your weapon.

Dad, if we don't help him,
he's -- he's dead.

He's dead.

I know
it is difficult to understand,

but we are fighting
the same enemy.

Anger, hate --
these I feel, too.

But until we defeat
the overlords...

We cannot hope to li--

Stop!
Stop talking!

Many lives have been sacrificed,
Tom Mason.

Many more will...

No.

Move out of the way, son.
Dad!

Dai, get Rick.
Take him out of here.

It's time
to send this cockroach

back to the hell it came from.

No argument here, Captain, sir.

Ple-- please!
- Wait, wait, wait! No! No!

No! Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Ho! What?!

We need him --
as a prisoner.

No way.

The only good Skitter
is a dead Skitter.

It was there
when I was interrogated.

They trusted it.
It might know something.

It might know everything.

I think the military
in Charleston

would be interested to know
what we can get out of it.

And if it doesn't talk?

Then it's of no use to us,

we dispatch it to hell,
just the way you said.

Step back.

Any luck?

Ah, just a couple bags
of cotton balls.

Bottle of
dextro-metho-something.

Should probably take that
from her before she drinks it.

Ow!

That's two hospitals down,
one to go.

Isn't looking good.

Cover, cover!
Get down!

Here. Go, go, go,
go, go, go.

Get down.
What?

Get --

Stay calm.

Stay calm.

I'm calm. You calm?

Very calm.

I've never been so calm.

Yeah. Me, neither.

If you ask me, we ought to throw
that shrimp on the Barbie.

Ooh, maybe a little beer batter.
Yeah.

Stand clear.

This isn't a town-hall meeting.

Back to your posts,
people.

Anne, he needs your help.
Please.

I don't even have enough
supplies for right now.

- But even if I did, why would I help it?
- He's different.

- Why would you, Ben?
- Please.

You need to trust me. Just trust me.
I wish I could.

- Why won't anyone listen to me?!
- Ben! Ben!

Calm down.

Anne, we just got to
keep it alive

long enough to question it.
All right. I'll try.

Lyle, Boon -- you two
keep an eye on Rick.

Don't let him out
of your sight.

Come find me
when the Skitter starts talking.

You got it, boss.

Ben,
I want to talk to you.

Let's get this thing
out of here.

You need to help me here,
Ben.

I'm trying to explain.
By telling me

some crazy story
about a Skitter rebellion?

Yes! And that
he is their leader.

How long have you been
in communication with him?

Since Jimmy died.

And your spikes? Glowing?
How long?

Who told you that?
Hal told me.

It doesn't matter who told me!
How long?!

Around the same time.

Why wouldn't you tell me?!

I didn't want you to see me
as the enemy.

- The enemy, Ben?! Never the enemy!
- Damaged, then -- broken!

I'd have been concerned, yes!
I would have tried to help you!

Help me now!
How?!

Just believe me!

All right. Sit.

A Skitter rebellion.
How is that even possible?

We know they were harnessed,
too.

Yes, but... some of them
have been able to

resist the effects
of the harness.

They've been trying to overthrow
their overlords for more than 100 years.

They've been fighting,
they've been resisting,

but they failed every time.

But now they think they have
a chance -- with us, together.

Ben, that one tortured me --
and others. He executed them.

Well, he had to do that

so they wouldn't question
his loyalty!

So he could get in, gain access
to their battle plans,

and most importantly, so
he could find others like him.

That doesn't add up.

And history is full of excuses like,
"I was only following orders."

And there's no excuse
for murdering innocent people.

He didn't kill you.

You're alive.

He saved your life.

Why? Why would he?

Because he believes the human
race and our resistance movement

is the best chance they have,

that the only way
to form an alliance

is through people like me
and people like you

and countless others
around the world.

This is it.

Ow. So damn bony.

I'll bring you a pillow
next time.

Ow.
Oh!

You know,
my first car was a Civic.

It had 212,000 miles on it.

Nobody understood
why I wanted it, but...

I'd just started dating
this girl -- Rita.

And there weren't
too many places we could go.

So that car...

Was like your bachelor pad?

You got to love tinted windows.

Gave us our privacy.

Ri-ta.

What's wrong
with Ri-ta?

It's kind of
an old-lady name.

Okay, Margaret.

She was no old lady,
I'll tell you that much.

She was a dancer --
jazz.

They would do these shows
for school.

And she would wear these, like,
stretchy dance pants.

A leotard?

No, no. This wasn't a leotard.
This was like, some --

this was like a special,
like, jazz pant.

First time I saw her onstage
dancing, I was in love.

Like,
love at first sight.

Love at first sight
of jazz pants.

Ah, I've never met anybody
that talks like you.

Not even Ri-ta?

There weren't a whole lot
of words between us.

Or Karen?

I didn't really get a chance
to find out.

I-I'm sorry.
No, no. No, no. It's okay.

It's okay.

I think we're okay to --
to move out now, anyway.

Yeah.

My problem is

I don't know how to stop myself
from going too far.

Like I said,
it's no big deal.

It is.
I mean, it has to be.

So I'm a jerk for going there,
and I'm sorry.

I should have just stuck
with trashing Rita.

We good?

Always.

All right.

Guys, ever notice

how you never hear
crickets at night anymore?

Traffic?
Or jets in the air?

Or Mr. Omanski's
TV next door,

Rangers' game blaring away.

Bottom of the ninth,
bases loaded,

and the sweet crack
of the bat -- crack!

The crowd goes wild.

Sorry. I just miss
that stuff is all.

Oh. Well, maybe they
have baseball in Charleston.

Yeah, maybe a TV.

Can it talk?

Yes, I can.

We don't have time
for a lot of shenanigans.

We need answers,
and we need them now.

Of course,
and you will get them.

But first, I wish to address
Professor Mason alone.

We're not going anywhere.

As you wish.

It's okay, Captain.

Everybody out!

Let's leave them here.

Come on.

You have a remarkable planet,
Professor Mason.

I'm not much in the mood
for platitudes.

I understand.

I want to know what you know.

You want to know why your son
is so important to me.

Yes.

Above all,
I want to know that.

Yes, and I will try to answer
that to your satisfaction,

but there's just so much
to tell you

and very little time
to tell it in.

I've got all the time in world.

I'm afraid not.

As we speak, there's a death
squad on its way to kill me...

and everyone in this camp.

Oh.
Clean sheets.

I haven't seen that in a while.

All right. We got bandages,
antiseptic, aspirin.

That's enough stuff to load up
the med bus for a while.

Hey, hey.
Pharmacy.

Nice!

Yee-haw!

Shh!
Y-you got to do that?

Just expressing
some positivity, jefe.

Nice.

All right.
Well, let's grab what we need.

We'll catch a couple hours
of sleep on those beds

you were talking about.

You guys earned it.
We'll head back to camp tonight.

I'm gonna go let Maggie know.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

Tector and Craze
are packing up some stuff,

and they're gonna bed down
for a while.

There's real beds in there,
clean sheets.

Why don't you come inside?

Nah.

Not in a hospital.

Because of the cancer?

You know, you never did tell me
what kind of cancer you had.

No, I did.

You said you had
the "bad kind."

Like there's a good kind
of cancer.

Brain tumors.

More than one?

Yeah. They operated on me
three times.

I have actual holes
in my skull. Here.

You feel that soft spot?

Uh-huh.

Doesn't freak you out?

No.

When I went in
for the third operation,

I remember thinking,
"if I don't come out of this,

if I just die on the table --
I'd be okay with that."

Wow.

It was that bad?

It's like you're out...
out of life.

You're at your last
little drop.

So, if it just drips away --
wasn't much left, anyway.

I'm glad you got it back.

I didn't get it back...

not all of it.

Maggie...

Don't.

Just don't say anything.

Forget it.

There's nothing you've said
to me so far that's convinced me

that any of your claims
are real.

20 of my fallen comrades
in this morning's battle

wasn't good enough for you?

I don't pretend to know
what this morning was about.

I don't really give a damn.

But a revolution?
A resistance movement?

I don't buy that.
Doesn't make any sense to me.

So, how can I convince you?

You can give me a reason!

A credible one!
I owe you that at least.

Strange as it may seem to you,

my planet
was much like yours once.

We lived in relative peace
and tranquility.

Go on.

Then they came and laid waste
to everything we hold dear.

We were pressed into slavery,
made to do their bidding.

The Khelmoch was infused
on our spines as children --

the same way they had us
do to yours.

You talking about the harnesses?
Yes.

We tried to fight back,
but they were too powerful.

And --
and then we came here.

And we saw you,
how your species fights.

Even after
you were almost wiped out,

you refused to capitulate.

Don't you see, Professor?

Together, we could do what
neither of us could do alone --

overthrow our oppressors.

It's an interesting story.

I can see why my son likes it.

He always went in
for fairy tales.

But the problem is
I've watched your kind.

I've seen how easy it is
for you to destroy,

to rip a person to pieces.

When you kill,
there is no regret.

There's no remorse.

I have much regret
and only remorse, Professor.

So you cannot begin
to understand

the depths of my sorrow.

The evidence speaks
to the contrary.

Perhaps, but the point
of the matter being

your weapons are substandard
and you do not understand

their strategies
nor their tactics.

So you can join us and survive

or fight alone and die.

Man, I forgot
what a bed feels like.

Very bouncy.

- Hey, Maggie.
- What?

- I just wanted to say --
- Look.

- Just --
- Look.

What's important
is I know you got my back,

and you know I got yours.

We're partners. All right?
That's what partners do.

We watch out for each other,
but that's it.

There's nothing else here.

I want there to be.

Yeah, well,
we all want a lot of things.

But this? No.

There can't be.
So, just stop. Now.

Almost home, people.

- What is that?
- It's as I feared.

The death squad
got onto my trail.

They will kill us all.

Anybody see where that came from?!
Hell no!

Where's Maggie?!

Go!
Get the hell out of here!

Cover me!

Why?!
We got nothing to shoot at!

No!

What are you doing?!
Get out of here!

I can't! I got to haul
your lazy butt back to camp!

Come on!

Idiot!

Hold on!

Get away from it, Tom.

The bastard has led them
directly to us.

No. No.
That's not it.

- Wait.
- Lyle, Dai --

get those kids
away from the cage.

Dan, there's something
you need to hear.

You stand down, Tom.
This isn't the way.

I'm giving you an order.
No.

You stand down --

now, damn it!
Aah!

No, no, no, no!
No!

Don't shoot!

Rick!

Rick.

All right.

I got you.
There.

Is she gonna be all right?
We don't know yet.

We've got to move!

Can you find me a driver?

Hal!
Yeah. Yeah, I got it. I got it.

You got her?
Yeah, we got her.

Slow and steady, Hal!

All right.
All right. Slow and steady.

Slow and steady.

Ben...

Ben, it's okay.

Killing this one person
doesn't matter.

We'll win it.
I know it.

Just...
talk to your father.

You have a father,
Ben...

Ben...

make him believe.

Make --
make them believe.

You can do it.
You could do it.

Ben...

He needs my help.

He needs my help.
Ben.

He needs me.
Ben.

He needs me! He needs me! Needs me!
We need you.

We need you.
We need you.

I need you.
It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It doesn't look like there
are any bullet fragments, Hal.

It missed her lung.

Dr. Glass
thinks she'll be fine.

I'll give you guys
a little time.

Why'd you come back for me?

"Why?"

What kind of a question
is that?

You could have
gotten yourself killed.

And you would have died
out there.

There's people
who depend on you, Hal.

There's people who need you.

Same with you.

No.

I need you, okay?

I need you.

You said it yourself.
We got each other's backs.

We look out for each other.
We take care of each other.

And if anything ever happened
to you, Maggie, I --

Hey.

What is this?

It's just that, uh...

...I know you're gonna say this
is crazy and stupid,

but when I saw you laying there
on the ground...

I...

Hey.

What?

Nothing.

I'll just...

What?

Can you do me a favor?

Anything.

Sit down.

Okay.

And can you just stay here
till I fall asleep?

I can do that.

This is the third time you've stuck
me with a needle, Doctor.

What the hell is this one for?

To help you sleep.
You mean like a sedative?

You tricked me.

Oops.

Good to finally have
the proper tools and medicines.

Back in the day,
the surgeon

would have just cut your leg off
and hoped for the best.

Well, I guess I should be
thankful for small miracles.

You wanted to see me, Captain?

I did, Tom.

Doc, could you give us
a moment?

All right.
Not too long, Captain.

I need you off that leg
and resting.

You have my word.

There's no roundabout way
to say it, Tom.

I'm pissed as hell at you.
Understandable.

Forget the danger
that your actions put us in.

You disobeyed a direct order.

I know.

And for that,
I'm sorry.

Your apology is accepted,

but --
and this is big --

I'm worried about Ben.

I have been
ever since Jimmy's death.

Me too.

I'm not talking about worried
about his well-being.

I'm concerned about the risk
he poses to the 2nd Mass.

No. You're right.

I've been concerned
about that, too.

He's my son, Dan.
I don't know what to do.

I understand.
I do.

The point is...

hard choices have to be made
sometimes.

I agree.

And when the time comes,

how will you be
with the hard choice?

I don't know.

I honestly don't know.

Fair enough.

But I'd just as soon
not have to make it for you.

- Understood?
- Understood.

Fine.

I got to lie down now.
Doctor's orders.

Yes, sir.

Tom...

when Porter first put us
together,

I didn't like you very much.

Really?
Couldn't tell.

Well,
I don't mind telling you

that the feeling
was more than mutual.

I can be a stubborn
son of a bitch sometimes.

Sometimes?

I didn't ever see
how some Professor

gonna be any use in battle.

But...

Tom...

...I've come
to respect you...

to...

I feel the same way,
Dan.

- Is he out?
- Completely.

Probably more sleep than
that man has had in four months.

I have three new antibiotics
to try on his infection.

I'll have a better feel
for it tomorrow.

We're lucky
we found this place.

Got another two weeks
of rough road

before we get to Charleston.

This will give us all
a chance to recharge.

Amen to that.
How's Ben?

He's, you know --
he's... Typical teenager --

he's having trouble
relating to his father,

and he wants to
change the world.

You may not be that far off.

No matter what else is going on,
he is a teenager.

He's just
so damn sure of himself.

It's like he knows
exactly what he's doing.

He's more sure of himself
than I am.

Just be there with him.
You'll be fine.

Ah, I suppose so.
I hope so.

That's all we have for now.

Looks like Jamil got the hospital's
emergency generator going.

Now if we can just get him
to work on running water.

Oh, we got to have something
to look forward to

in Charleston.
I suppose.

Still...

Oh, there's a lot of rooms
around this place.

You notice that?

It was the first thing
I noticed.

Really?

Really?

Not afraid of heights anymore?

No.

Don't feel scared
of anything anymore.

That's impossible.

Why?

Just because.

That's not much of an answer.

No.

You're right.
It's not. It's not.

Matt, if I, uh...
If I told you something,

you think
you could keep it a secret?

I think so, yeah.

I, uh...

I have to go away --
at least for a while.

Is it because of that Skitter?

Something like that.

When?

Uh...

I don't know, Matt.

I don't know.
