Falling Skies

Our enemy is hell bent on our destruction.

Previously on Falling Skies...

They can't kill us, so they just turn us into them?

Your daughter is not human.

She's a hybrid. An entirely new species.

Our alien allies, the Volm,. have given us superior weapons.

What plans do the Volm have for us after the war.

You must leave as quickly as possible.

Where are we going?

First stop, Charleston.

Form a new resistance movement.

They will not survive.

You tired?

Want to ride in one of the vehicles?

I can do it.

You know, the best football players

use hill training in the off-season.

Walter Payton used to say

that you got to climb until your legs feel like sand.

Who's Walter Payton?

And then until they feel like water. And then stop?

And then keep climbing until you can't feel your legs at all.

He ain't heavy. He's my brother!

You gonna make it up this hill, old man?

Old man? Whew.

I've already been to the top. I'm on my second lap.

How long have we been traveling, anyway? 20 days?

22.

And a half. But who's counting?

I'm gonna get you!

Lexi, careful!

I got her, I got her.

Guess this beats Brazil.

Look, Maggie.

You've been weird with me ever since Karen.

Did what I had to do, Hal.

Watch this.

Dad!

Eyes front, soldier!

Is that the green light to blow off a little steam, Colonel?

Affirmative, Detective. Blow at will.

I heard that.

I'm just happy to be home.

If that's what we're calling this.

We're here, bro.

We made it.

Oh, Charleston. Home sweet home.

All right.

What about you, sweetheart?

You ready to go home?

We don't all have to die here.

Oh, no.

Countermeasures now!

Spread out!

Aah!

Scramble!

Let's go! Let's go!

Move, move! Over here!

Fall back!

Lexi! Hold my hand.

They're fencing us in!

Take her!

Lexi!

Anne!

Lexi!

Lexi! Lexi!

Mommy! Where's Matt?

I don't know! Find him!

Lexi!

Let me go! It's okay!

Lexi! No! No!

Lexi!

Tom!

Matt, run!

== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man

I think that's right.

I told you. It can't have her!

You think throwing me in solitary is gonna stop me?!

I'll have your skitter balls on a skewer!

All six of them! Hey!

Those flying things. Hey! Dan, is that you?!

Come to collect us every day!

Dan!

Dan, it's Tom! Tom!

Tom!

Where are you? Over here.

Tom?

Oh, man!

I'm so glad you're still alive!

Oh, yeah. Right back at you.

You have no idea.

It's been very quiet in here.

What happened to everything, man?

The Volm, your friend Cochise...

What's with the vanishing act?

See, I knew they'd betray us, huh!

Let's not be so quick to judge. We don't know everything.

How's your heart? What?

Nothing wrong with my heart. Don't worry about my heart.

Ain't nothing wrong with my heart.

You just promise me one thing, Tom.

You don't let those things get you.

Here's one now.

What the hell are they?!

I don't know.

I don't want to know.

Give me that food!

I need this food! Get off me!

No! I have a baby!

Give it to me!

I ever tell you I wanted to be a fighter pilot as a kid?

No. You didn't.

I'm sure that's a great story, though.

Now, wise up, Top Gun. It's almost time.

Hey, man. How do we know that thing ain't watching us?

Doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

This right here is probably about to kill us, anyway.

All right.

Now, hold on. This is my dad's idea.

This could be dangerous.

I ought to be the one that throws it.

Relax, man. Your dad's right.

Electricity is electricity. Physics is physics.

We're just gonna blow that breaker,

short out that little, green fence.

Ain't no different from the time

I tried to pirate free power in my sister's trailer.

Whole block went dark.

Besides, I got the better arm.

Oh, please.

All right. On three now.

Here, I'll feed you.

You ready? Yeah.

One... two... three.

We need more power.

Where's the closest Walmart?

Time.

6 grenades, 18 seconds. Not good enough.

Prep it again. Anne, you don't have to...

Reflexes, technique. Again.

Pack up your gear.

We're moving out in 20. Anne!

You don't think maybe you should give the men some rest?

Or at least establish a link with the Volm?

The Volm picked up their mother ship

and left three weeks after they got here.

That was months ago.

You're still waiting for them

to come back home with the ice cream? I know.

And you've done an amazing job

stitching this team together from a million spare parts.

All right, but you're running us ragged.

Almost three days, no sleep?

Do they sleep, Anthony? I don't.

My daughter is still missing.

I just got an update from our scout

1,800 klicks west from here.

Looks like our sharpshooters taking out those Beamers

on their supply routes have the enemy scrambling.

They're using old semitrucks

to transport materials to their bases.

18-wheelers and a CB radio?

Huh. They trying to trick us by going analog?

How reliable is this? Tight.

The truck they've pegged will pass three miles from here.

If this is confiscated ammo, this can answer some prayers.

What time are they due to come through here?

9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Looks like you'll get your wish, sleepyhead.

Oh, my God.

You're awake!

Don't move.

Ben!

Maggie!

What happened? Where am I?

I was so worried you were gonna leave us.

It was a frontal-lobe coma,

but luckily Lourdes was able to stabilize... whoa.

Where's Hal? Where's Matt?

Dad! Dad! They're not here.

Lexi was... where's Lexi? Where's L... where's Lexi?!

Ben, you need to rest.

You're gonna see her soon.

Ben... you're not gonna believe it.

Welcome to Chinatown.

I... don't any of these people know there's a war on?

The war hasn't touched us here.

What are you talking about?

You're up. Lourdes.

She said you would be.

You look amazing.

You want to see Lexi?

I'll bring you to her.

The fact is, there is no war here.

This is a place committed to peace, to nonviolence.

You can commit to whatever you want, Lourdes. The Espheni...

The Espheni haven't come near this refuge.

We've been here months.

They've attacked every other region surrounding us.

Swept humanity clean everywhere but here.
