Invasion

You have 60 seconds once they pick up. Do you understand?

Yes. I understand.

If you live within 50 miles of a portal site,

the government strongly encourages you to evacuate immediately.

Leave your homes and get to safety as quickly as you can.

- The WDC military are mobilizing troops… -

…and dispatching them to all affected areas.

- Reports indicate that the… - I… I don't recognize the number.

Hello?

Aneesha? Honey, is that you?

Yes. Yes, it's me.

Where are you?

I'm in a FBI field office in Boise.

What are you… Are you okay? Just tell me you're okay.

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

- What's going on? Is she with Trevante? - Is it Mommy?

What are you doing at the FBI? What happened?

I don't know. I went looking for answers.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought I could figure it out and be back home by dinner,

and everything would just be normal.

Are you seeing what's going on out there?

Yeah.

Are the kids okay? Clark, are they--?

Yeah, they're… They're fine. They're…

They're scared.

We're all scared.

I know, I'm… I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You stay safe. I-I'll be okay.

- I'll just explain and… -

- …and just come straight-- - That's 60 seconds.

Hello. Hello?

Aneesha. Honey.

Is Mom okay?

Is Mommy coming home?

Uh…

- Uh… - Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

Me and your dad are gonna go get her.

Right.

I'm gonna go get your mom and bring her home.

And we will all be together tonight. Promise.

Um…

Go over to Jenny's. Stay there.

If we're not back by dinnertime, which we definitely will be…

Ry, help her out.

There's some steaks in the fridge. You can do it potluck style.

Got it.

It'll be fun.

Hey.

All the reports, every single one of them, say the fighting is at the portal sites.

And we are thousands of miles away from any of those sites.

We are safe.

Hey, look at me. Hey. Come on.

You don't have to be afraid.

Because why?

Who do we have?

Each other.

That's right.

Luke?

Yeah.

Each other.

Where are we?

Nine miles out.

Nine miles out from what?

Where are they taking us?

Where are they taking us, Nikhil?

Why are we in the middle of nowhere?

You'll want to strap in.

I told you I'd die before I'd come back here.

Welcome home, kid.

I'll kill you. Let me go.

I'll never let you take me again! Son of a bitch. I won't let you.

Just like old times.

Fuck-a-doodle-do. Trevante Cole.

In the flesh.

- -

Uh… I've never been starstruck in my life.

But I suppose today's gonna be full of surprises.

I'm sure you know who I am.

I don't have one fucking clue, man.

Oh, that's lovely. Charming.

Uh, you two are gonna get along beautifully.

Nikhil Kapur. Founder and CEO of Dharmax Industries.

Third richest man in the world. Might be higher after today.

Who are you?

Second richest?

She's with me.

Sure about that?

No. Why are we here?

I don't know why we're here.

I was hoping one of you guys could tell me that.

Where the hell is everyone?

I don't know any more than you do.

Which is not a sentence I think I've ever uttered.

But like I say, today is gonna be full of sur--

It's about fucking time.

- After the press conference… -

…this is what you were trying to tell me. I should have listened. I'm listening now.

Like I said, General, it's about fucking time.

- What was it you saw? - I saw something on the ship.

Okay? Something in the walls. Something alive.

A hunter-killer?

No. No. It's different.

That narrows things down.

I-I can't explain it. Okay?

But I know what I saw, and what I saw is something new.

Something bigger than the others, more powerful.

And whatever it is, it killed Caspar.

But not you.

Why didn't you tell us any of this while you were still in the hospital?

'Cause I didn't remember then.

I find that odd.

Oh, that-that's what you find odd?

Look, my first memory was sparked when I saw Caspar's EEG. All right?

When he died. Okay?

The second was when I heard the frequency from the portal,

just when I got spit out. They're connected.

- Connected. - Yes, connected.

Caspar's EEG, the pattern. Okay? They… they…

It's the same as the frequency from the portal.

It just means… it means something. All right?

I just can't see it yet.

Those things…

Those things killed Caspar.

Okay? They killed him.

And they're not fucking done.

And whatever happened before, it's just the beginning.

Okay, so if we played that same frequency,

you'd get another snapshot of whatever it was you saw up there?

I don't know.

Maybe.

You sure that's the right one, mate?

It's right.

- No reaction. -

I don't understand.

Fuck.

Neither do I, okay?

I don't know what's happening to me, and I can't fucking control it.

That's normal for PTSD.

Your buried memories are bound to come flooding back

as more triggers are tripped during the mission.

The mission?

What mission?

The surprises keep coming.

I can't be here.

Please. I need to get home to my family.

- You think you're the only one? - No, I don't.

So, answer our questions, and we all go home to our families.

I was told I was just waiting for my ID verification. What is this?

You and your husband were involved with the activist group, the Movement.

"Activist"? Why not call it what it was? A terrorist organization.

The Movement wasn't a terrorist organization.

The Movement actively thwarted the military during wartime.

That is the definition of a terrorist organization.

And now you're associated with another terrorist group.

Someone like you consorting with Trevante Cole.

You can't see how that can be concerning.

No. I can't.

What are you guys planning?

What is who planning?

The Movement isn't a thing anymore.

It hasn't been for years.

I'm a doctor at a hospital, my husband is a high school English teacher.

We are not "associated" with anybody.

You were at a rally for the Infinitas group

- and captured at one of their hideouts. - "Captured"? "Hideouts"?

This is insane. We're under attack by aliens.

You should be fighting them, not me.

Do you want to go home? Just tell us the truth.

Where is he? Where is Infinitas?

I don't know. I just met these people.

Ask the woman you brought in with me.

She's not saying anything. She's protecting him.

Are you protecting him?

I am telling you the truth.

I didn't know anything about these people until today.

We ran a data scan at your home address.

A computer at that location shows months of Infinitas searches, chat rooms, boards.

Months?

That's right.

Can you explain that?

No, I can't.

Violence remains isolated to regions directly surrounding

the active portal sites.

Everyone outside the evacuation radius

- - is encouraged to remain

within the safety of their homes until further not--

You okay?

Yeah. I'm okay. I'm…

Clark?

Clark.

What are you…

I thought you said you were an English teacher?

Well, I wasn't always an English teacher.

This is a satellite image of the vine-like alien webbing spreading out

from our portal site in Alberta over the last 24 hours.

All portal sites are reporting similar activity.

It's clear now the aliens were not retreating to the mother ship to die.

They were regrouping to attack. Trevante was right.
