All language subtitles for Falling Skies (2011) - S02E02 - Shall We Gather at the River (1080p BluRay x265 Celdra)

Checked you out from head to
toe. You seem perfectly normal.

What if it wasn't something
physical but psychological?

I mean, could they have given me
some kind of posthypnotic suggestion?

And turned you into
what, a sleeper agent?

I don't think anyone, even a
supposedly advanced race of aliens...

could get Tom Mason
to turn against his boys.

You got a lot of faith in a man who walked
onto a spaceship of his own free will.

- They threatened to take Ben away.
- It was a lie. And I fell for it.

I left my boys to fend for
themselves for the last three months.

Tom, you have to believe,
I tried to be there for them.

Oh, I know.

Truth is, your boys
are amazingly resilient.

If anything, they've
grown stronger.

And you?

I'm alive.

Can't say that for most of us.

Lost a lot of really good people
right here, right on this table.

The worst part of it is...

I have trouble remembering
what they looked like...

what they sounded like.

They're just fading away.

So I started pinning
up their pictures...

trying to hang on to them.

Uncle Scott. Rick
didn't make it?

I don't know. One day he was
there. Next day, he was gone.

If you're worried about Ben,
do not be. Ben hates the skitters.

Weaver says he's
one of our best fighters.

But he's still got those
spikes in his spine.

And the crusty
skin is spreading.

If we had an x-ray, I could find
out what's going on inside him.

But until I get my hands on a
machine, there's no way to know.

Like there's no way to know
what's going on inside of me...

despite what you or Weaver
or I would like to believe.

Bridge looks good!

I mean, considering.

We may have a real shot
at crossing here, guys.

That's good.

Aliens have blown up every other
bridge within a hundred miles of here.

Got us pinned on
this side of the river.

Better get back with the intel.
The longer we stand around...

the closer the skitters are to finding
us and turning 2nd Mass into road kill.

Practicing operational silence?
Because you've hardly said a word all day.

You know, it's not your fault.

That's what everyone
keeps telling me.

Hey, Ben! Jimmy! Let's go!

Who would have expected your dad
to have been there after three months?

It was dark, skitters on our
heels, something moved.

Anyone would have shot.

Well, it wasn't
anyone. It was me.

Incoming!

Jamil!

Ben!

Get it, Dai!

Damn it!

Nice shot, Dai.

Twenty mike-mike
armor-piercing discarding sabot.

Accept no substitutes.

Nice. Heh, heh.

Well, I guess we
can't cross here.

After we attacked that structure in Boston,
the aliens want us like hounds on a fox.

Tried every trick I could think
of to shake them, but, uh...

they surrounded us in Fitchburg.

It was a disaster.

They poured fire on us from all sides till
Ben found a soft spot in their lines...

and we managed to punch through.

But we lost a lot of people.

We lost more than a hundred.

My God.

And now the bastards
are trying to do it again.

We got the Housatonic
River right here.

It runs to the
west, to the south.

We are here.

And their units have cut us
off from the north and the east.

And they're moving in.

And if I don't find a way
to get across that river...

they're gonna pin the 2nd
Mass in, and destroy us.

And that is why I need you.

Yeah.

How have my boys done?

Thank God for Hal and Ben.

They really stepped up while
you were gone, both of them.

But they're young...

and they're not ready to be my
XO, which is why I need somebody...

who can ask me
the hard questions...

who can give me a swift kick
in the butt if I need it, you know?

We can't afford
another Fitchburg, Tom.

Now, the scouts should
be back to camp pretty soon.

I'm hoping that they found a
way across this damn river...

and I want you at the debrief.

Dan, I can't.

I know you're not healed. I'm
not asking you to do anything.

The wound's not the
problem. I nicked a rib.

Anne will have the
stitches out next week.

Then what is it?

I don't trust myself.

And you shouldn't either.

You giving me orders now?

I'll decide who I can trust.

And I'll put my money on the man who
pulled my ass out of the fire in Boston.

No, it's true. Dylan's alive.

He's holed up in a mine
shaft in Minnesota...

rewriting his protest
songs into war ballads.

Delvalle heard one of his
broadcasts over that set he built.

Oh, man, that thing
doesn't even work.

It couldn't pick up a
conversation in the next tent.

Never mind a broadcast from
Minnesota, if there even was one.

Man, shut up. What
the hell do you know?

- What is...? How did you do this?
- Wrench slipped.

Thought you might come out
here and kiss it, make it better.

Ah!

So, what's the deal
with the professor?

What do you mean?

Just kind of figured he'd
give us all an oral history...

in alien-interrogation techniques,
but all we got is brooding silence.

- Well...
- What's up with that, now?

I'm a medic, not a shrink.

Scouts are back!

Let's hope they found a
way across that damned river.

Good luck.

Yeah, this should be fun.

Is the captain in there? Thanks.

You can't even walk
across this thing.

Heh. Dollars to doughnuts, the Beamers will
bomb the hell out of your work crews...

10 minutes after they
started trying to rebuild.

Didn't say I had everything
worked out. This is our best chance.

May be better off probing for a weak
point and then fighting our way out.

Yeah, the mech and skitter columns I saw
weren't carrying any weak points with them.

So far we've managed to stay hidden.
They're looking hard and closing in.

Gonna be on us
in two days. Tops.

Why don't they just nuke the whole
damn city and be done with us?

We might not be worth it.

Haven't seen them drop neutron
bombs in months, not since Boston.

They won't need a nuke
if they trap us on this side.

What about that boat that you
liberated from a store, Jamil?

It was rubber,
seats five, no motor.

Best guess, it'd take us 40
minutes, round trip, across the river.

That would take too long
to get everybody across.

We'd have to leave all the vehicles, all
the heavy weapons, wounded, supplies.

Yeah. Not acceptable.

Captain, it seems our best and
only option is to rebuild the bridge.

We don't have to rebuild it,
captain. We could just patch it up.

You know, the supports look
like hell, but I think they'll hold.

We can build decking, bridge them
over these gaps and drive across.

Doesn't have to last
forever, right? Just one night.

We have no choice.

Start building the
decking, Jamil.

Hey, man, what
about the Beamers?

It's too bad they learned
how to beat our jamming.

We'll figure out a way
to deal with the threat.

Once we get across, we have
no idea what's in that forest.

Could run smack into an ambush.

Somebody's got to go for a
look-see. Anybody up for a swim?

I'll do it. Maggie and I will take the
boat. We'll go across. We'll check it out.

It'll take you too long to paddle across.
I can swim it faster and not be seen.

Really?

You've been away,
Dad. This is what I do.

He's right, Tom.

He's the best man
for the job, yeah.

You take Jimmy with you to cover
your route to the riverbank. Tonight.

Swimming across that
river's nothing for Ben.

It's those spikes.

He can run for miles
without breaking a sweat.

He has ears like a jack
rabbit. He can see like a hawk.

Ah. Comes at quite a price.

It's the world we live
in, not the world we want.

I think we've all
changed a little bit.

Oh, I know.

Weaver told me
how you stepped up.

Saw it for myself
in that meeting.

Proud of you, Hal.

You know, I'm sorry. Haven't had a chance
to catch up since you've been gone...

but maybe when we get across
this river we can have a family dinner.

Yeah, maybe. Hey.

I got to ask a favor of
you, and it's important.

Sure, anything.

While the aliens had me...

there's big chunks of
time that I can't remember.

I think they may have
done something to my mind.

Like what?

I don't know.

But I need you to
promise me something.

- Anything.
- Just keep your eye on me.

If I do anything strange,
anything that would endanger...

Okay, but, Dad. You're not...

Yeah, but if I do, I
want you to stop me.

Stop you?

- How?
- By any means necessary.

You've been through
a lot of crazy stuff, Dad.

Let's go talk to Anne, all
right? We'll go see Weaver.

I already talked to them. I'm talking to
you. And I'm not asking! You gotta do this!

I don't want to hurt anybody,
Hal, least of all you or Ben or Matt.

I'm afraid, Hal. I'm scared...

- Dad? Dad, are you okay? Dad!
- Aah!

Dr. Glass, come quick!

Something's happened to my dad!
- Dad, I'm right here!

Ad, can you hear me?

- Is he gonna be okay?
- Of course he's gonna be okay.

- Well, we just got him back.
- I know, buddy.

You think it's true,
what he was saying...

that he might hurt us?

There's no way.

Look, it's Dad.

Those old fish-heads couldn't
change him if they tried.

He escaped from
their ship, didn't he?

Found his way back to us, despite
everything they did to stop him, right?

He's gonna beat this too.

All right?

- This is gonna sting.
- Just do it.

You see that? It's
lodged in his sclera.

- What is it?
- Could be a cyst.

Like some kind of growth?

No. It wasn't there when I
examined him this morning.

Whoa. TOM: What? What's wrong?

It's moving. TOM: Yank it out!

Wait. Hold on. You don't
know what this involves.

If I get this wrong, you could lose sight.
- Then I'll do it.

- Easy. Tom, easy.
- Oh, God. Like hell!

Lourdes, get a specimen jar.

- Dan, hold his head steady! WEAVER:
I got you. Easy. Easy, Tom. Easy.

It's all right. Come on.

Okay.

Ready?

It looks like a...

Parasite.

One long, two
short means it's me.

All clear is two
short, one long.

And if you got
skitters following you?

- You get the first shot.
- Awesome.

Wait, uh, you might need this.

Weaver's compass.

Yeah, just don't make me come
after it. That water's freezing.

Heh. It's invigorating.

Invigorating!

You say it just snapped shut?

Like a pill bug.

I don't see any seams.

You should destroy it.

- I agree.
- Yeah?

What if it's a tracking device?
It could give away our position.

Tom's been with us for days.

If it was tracking our position, the
alien would have attacked us by now.

Or it could be, like Tom
said, a mind-control device.

- Yeah.
- Well, it's out now.

That doesn't mean it's the end
of it. There could be others in me.

What do you recommend, Tom?

I don't think that
you've got any choice...

except to put me in restraints, at
least until we get across the river...

and we learn more.

- Tom, we removed it. You're probably fine.
- You said I was fine before. Come on.

Put all personal feelings aside. Now
is not the time to take any chances.

Give me your hands.

You can go see your old man now.

- I don't want to.
- What do you mean you don't want to?

- I don't want to!
- Hey, Matt.

Hey, captain.

I heard they pulled a circuit board
out of Tom's head. Is that true?

We don't know what it is.
Dr. Glass has removed it.

The scouts should be back any
minute, Pope. Report to the C.P. in 10.

You're not taking him across that
river with us. That's not gonna happen.

He's unarmed and in restraints.
The situation is under control.

He could still be wired
direct to Skitter Central.

You should have
put a bullet in his head

the second he took a
step towards that ship.

- I want to see...
- Hey!

Two guns against
one. That's hardly fair.

Actually, it's three
against one, Pope.

Walk softly.

Anthony, you're
a disappointment.

I thought I was having a
positive influence on you.

Yeah, there's nothing
that I would like better

than to truss you up
and leave you here.

Be thankful that we need you
and your band of degenerates...

for now.

Get out of my sight.

Don't kid your yourself, cap.

Sooner or later, you're gonna have to deal
with that human LoJack you got in there.

Dad.

Nightmares?

Ahem. Yeah.

Yeah, I had a lot of those
after Anne took my harness off.

How'd you shake them?

I stopped sleeping.

Just came back from across
the river. Heard what happened.

Oh, it's for the best.

Until we know more, until I can
figure out what it is they did to...

Wanna know my secret? To
make sure they can't control me?

Mm-hm.

Hate. I hate what they did to
me with all my heart and soul.

- I hate that they turned me into a freak.
- You're not a freak.

You got to hold on
to your hate, Dad.

If you can do that...

If you can do that, it doesn't
matter what they've done to you.

They won't be able
to change you inside.

You're right. Hate is a
very powerful emotion.

And I hate them too.

Ah. But if all you've got left is hate,
then they've already changed you.

It wasn't my hate that kept me
going the last couple of months.

It was my love...

for you and for
Hal and for Matt.

Gotta go.

Wow. How did
you find this wreck?

Saw the Beamer
get hit and fly off...

figured it was trying to
regroup with its forces...

so I followed
the course it took.

When I found the ship...

I just kept going the way it
was headed and found that.

Good thinking, Ben.

They're not using any kind
of engine I've ever seen.

It's some sort of
organic biotechnology.

Captain, we should try and grab
as much of this wreck as we can.

- Could learn a lot.
- It's a bad time for a project.

It's a bad time for everything.
We need to know our enemies.

Once we get there, take
the truck, grab what you want.

And we'll hightail it into the
forest, get away from that base.

We're not going if we don't figure
out how to shut down the air power.

Now, we see anything in these
pictures that can help us do that?

- No pilot.
- No.

No, uh, seats, no controls,
nothing for any kind of pilot.

Ben, did you see anything
that looked like a radio?

Did you hear anything?

No.

If they're drones, they
gotta get their commands.

Yeah.

I mean, it's most
likely this base.

Yeah, this big flyswatter-looking thing is
probably their communications antenna.

The best way to take down
the air power, blow that up.

- Which is exactly what you'll do.
- Yes, sir.

You take your unit in the boat,
infiltrate that base, smash that antenna.

That'll keep those Beamers off
of us long enough to get across.

Those mechs aren't
just gonna step aside

while we walk in with
a suitcase full of C-4.

That's why you're gonna have
to find a way to take a shot.

We'll rendezvous with you
on the other side of the bridge.

Anthony?

You, Pope, and the berserkers
will stay here and cover our asses.

You see skitter and
mech columns moving in,

kick them in the
teeth, and run like hell.

Because once we get across,
we're gonna blow that bridge.

Roger that.

It's a scientific fact, dirt mixed
with sweat makes you waterproof.

Tector, I don't give a rat's
ass if it makes you fireproof...

you stink so bad you could
gag a dog off a gut wagon.

When we get to the other
side, either you take a hot bath...

or me and the boys
will give you one.

You'll pay hell getting it done.

Think of all the skitters
we've blown away.

They got to reproduce
to keep their numbers up.

Yeah, I wonder how they do it.

Maybe they're hermaphrodites.

What, like earthworms? No way.

You've become
quite the mechanic.

Yeah. A little different from
working on my mom's hybrid.

Uh, be careful tonight.

- Things could get pretty hot out there.
- Ah, I'm looking forward to it.

When I was a kid, my dad got
me the biggest LEGO collection...

outside of Legoland. I used
to build cities in my basement.

Ferris wheels and cable cars.

Wish I could have seen that.

You think they mate for life?

No. They gotta have
multiple sex partners.

So you think skitters
sleep around, huh?

How do you know for certain?

Well, think of all the critters in
our world. Very few mate for life.

The best hope for
survival is to hook up...

with anyone healthy enough
to enrich the gene pool.

We still talking about skitters?

Wag it and shag it,
people. Let's move!

- You get that law rocket?
- I'm on it.

Nice. Hey, Matt. Come on,
buddy. You're riding on the med bus.

Dad's there.

Exactly. I need you to
look after him for me.

Go mount up. Thanks, Matt.

So, uh, I guess I'll
see you on the other...

Bye.

Hold on, Tom. This old
girl isn't exactly a luxury ride.

Hey, Matt.

Glad you're riding with us.

Yeah.

Let's go! Let's move!

Here we go!

Come on.

All right.

Captain! We're in business!

Let's fire them up! Let's
go! Let's roll! Let's roll!

Take it slow!

Let's roll!

Easy, easy, easy!

- I wish we had a bigger rocket.
- I hear that.

Let's go. We
don't have all night.

You haven't said a word
since you got on the bus.

What's going on, Matt?

Nothing.

- I'm still your dad, you know?
- If you say so.

You've got to believe I'd
never do anything to hurt you.

That thing that
came out of you...

how do you know it didn't
do something to you?

Honestly, I don't know.

That's why I've got this,
just to be safe, just to be sure.

But what I do know in my
heart is that you're my son.

You're my Matt.

A brave, strong boy.

I'd never, ever let
anything happen to you...

even if that means me having to
be tied up like this. You understand?

Sounds like Pope made contact.

Means those columns
will hit the bridge soon.

That's bad news for Weaver,
but good news for us. Look at this.

Mechs are headed towards the firefight.
The approach to the antenna's open.

You know what they
say about gift horses.

- Ben, what's wrong?
- Nothing. I'm fine.

Get down!

Damn. They'll be on the guys
in half a tick. Dai, how's it look?

It's too far away.

The probability's no
better than 50 percent.

That's not good enough.

Looks good.

Whoa.

Everybody, take cover!

What if he misses?

- We've only got one of those things.
- He isn't gonna miss.

Are you, brother?

Tick, tick.

- Boom.
- Boom.

Signal's gone.

Nice shot, brother. Nice shot.

All right, let's get back to
the bridge. Come on. Let's go.

You gonna lie there all night?

You picked a great
place to take cover.

You want to see a pretty sight?

I think Hal's team
knocked out that antenna.

When their signal goes out, they're
probably programmed to fly home.

Keep it up.

Almost done.

Better step it up, cap! We got beaucoup
skitters and mechs right behind us.

Non-essential
personnel, dismount!

Go! Over the bridge
on foot now! Go!

Move it! Go, go, go!

You're okay. Hang
on to something.

Matt, got your pocketknife?
I need you to cut me loose.

But you said you might...

I know what I said.
Come on. You can do it.

- Lourdes.
- Hey.

Get to the other side
now. Come on. On foot. Go!

Lourdes. Dr. Glass, is there any
way you can get out and hoof it?

I can't leave the wounded.

Come on, Matt. Please.

That's it. Just cut me loose.

On the double!

Get this bus out of here.

Ready? One, two, three.

Go!

Good boy.

Tom!

Get across the bridge!
Wait for Hal and Ben!

Let's move!

Go! Go! Go! Get
across! Come on! Go!

Go, go, go!

Come on, what are
you doing out there?

Run! Run, Matt!

- My dad's back there!
- What?

And the skitters and
mechs are still coming!

Tom, get the hell out of there!
We're gonna blow the bridge!

Dad! HAL: Dad, run!

Run, Dad!

- Dad! Dad, get back here.
- Blow the bridge!

Come on, Tom! - Blow it!

- Blow the bridge! WEAVER:
Get the hell out of there!

We got skitters and
mechs! A lot of them!

Hold it.

- Jamil.
- Dad, come on!

Do it now!

Do it now! BEN: Dad!

Jamil! MATT: Dad!

- Blow the bridge!
- Jamil!

- Jam...
- Aah!

No!

Dad!

Hey, Hal, Hal! Hal, come
on! We're out of time!

We got no time,
Hal. We got no time.

Just come on. Mount up!

Move out!

Go!

Hey.

Thanks.

Come on. Come on, we can do it.

As soon as we get
to the next camp...

you and I are going
back with a search party.

How did we do?

We lost three
vehicles, a food truck...

and six of the finest fighters I've
ever had the honor to serve beside.

But we did it.

Well done, people.

Captain, we spotted an airport
about 5 miles west of here...

and no sign of alien activity.

Sounds like a good place
to hole up, lick our wounds.

You okay?

You okay, pal?

In the bus, I stayed
away from him.

I was afraid.

He understood, I'm sure.

Uh, listen, about your
old man, I just wanted to...

You know, what he did
on the bridge back there.

I gotta admit he had some
pretty hard bark on him.

Unh! DAI: Whoa, Hal!

You saw a chance to
frag him, and you took it.

You son of a bitch!

No! HAL: You son of a
bitch! Dai, let go of me.

Who's there?

Don't shoot, Ben.

Dad. TOM: Once
is enough, I think.

What took you so long?

- Dad.
- The river sucked off one of my boots.

Slowed down my stride.

Tom Mason, I'm getting
damn tired of losing you.

I'm gonna tie a cowbell
around your neck.

All right.

Let's get it in gear!

I want to get to that
airport before daylight.
