Any insurgent radio will pick up our transmission.

Insurgents are the least of your worries.

Connect me to General Orland as soon as possible.

Archer Lima 2, Archer Lima 2, this is Dagger Team. Do you copy?

Archer Lima 2, Archer Lima 2, this is Dagger Team. Do you copy?

Archer Lima 2, Archer Lima 2, this is Dagger Team. Do you copy?

You guys are our new recruits.

And believe me... we could use the help.

Come on, tough guy. Show me what you got.

Hey, I need to ask you something.

Was it your idea... to put the barrier... outside?

Their father. Their father knew.

Their father rolled open barrels of the iron shavings around the building.

He saved their lives.

What happened to your father?

You're a little scrapper, aren't you? [Chuckling]

Hey, buddy, you all right? Come on, get up.

What are you doing?

Are you a ghost? Mm.

Aratare.

He says, "Don't say that word." Ask him what they are.

Lost souls. Souls of the dead.

They're trapped between life and death, and they can't find peace.

How's that happen?

He says, "War."

Come on.

If their father put down the iron shavings,

he knows more about these things than any of us do. Ask her where her father is.

He died outside, when he was making the barrier. She had to bring him in here.

I'm so sorry.

Okay? Yeah.

Ceramic tile.

Ask her how her father knew about the iron filings stopping the Aratare.

What else did he know about them? She doesn't know.

"Masarov."

What is Masarov? It's a place. It's a district up the river.

It's where it all began.

It's where the Aratare killings started. Aratare.

I'm saying we land the helos right here.

Extract us from this roof and get us the hell out of here.

There are power lines everywhere. The helos would have to fly low and slow.

Easy pickings for a teenager with a rocket.

Can you get me up to speed? You spoke with base?

Yeah. The general's sending in helos to come get us,

and tanks to secure the landing zone in an open plaza

about half a mile from here, at dawn. That's a long way on foot.

You think we can make it a half a mile? With kids?

We don't have an option. Okay? All the roads are either blocked or mined.

And since we used the tower to talk to base,

everyone knows where we are. We gotta move out.

You wanna go running around with those things roaming the streets?

Even though we have no way to fight them?

Better than waiting for them to find a way in.

The only reason we're still alive is that barricade out there.

Eventually they're gonna get through. It's just a matter of time.

Wait. We have to take our chances.

This is the best plan that we have. Major.

What if I said I can improve our chances of making that plaza?

I'm listening. Take a look around you.

Everything in this building... is filled with this.

Iron dust.

And the iron stops the hyperspectrals. Exactly. Weaponize it.

Dirty bombs. Best idea I've heard all night. Let's collect the grenades.

Clyne. I need you to be our eyes out there.

Can you haul that camera on foot? I've got a better idea.

This camera already projects the right wavelength of UV light.

If I can turn it inside out, by reversing the polarity of some of the components,

I might be able to turn it from a camera into a searchlight.

We'll be able to see them with our own eyes.

That'd be a game-changer. Think I can talk to the convoy?

I'll them how to do the same with their equipment.

When they come get us, they're gonna need eyes, too.

I'll connect you to the main engineer back at base.

Copy that.

They're ready to equip their vehicles with whatever you need.

Can you repeat the whole request back to me, please?

Okay, yes. That's correct.

What you need is a device that emits a very short wavelength of light.

I can tell you exactly how to rewire that.

Do you have anything you can mount on a tank?

We got movement across the alleyway.

Guys, we got movement. Can we get eyes on it?

Hey, guys, stand clear for a second.

What's the word on the convoy? Last contact was 50 minutes ago.

They're on their way to the extraction point.

Here they come! Get your gear. We're leaving this building in 15 seconds.

Okay, come on. Let's go. That was the fastest way to the extraction point.

Yeah. Hey. She says she can show us another way.

Talbot, you're with Clyne. Diaz, you're on point.

Let's go.

Yup. Moving.

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

Come here.

Everybody's accounted for.

It looks clear. Let's move. Come here. Okay.

She says, "Go right, here."

Hey. Heads up, 6 o'clock.

Move! Move! Move!

They're coming.

Come on.

Come on.

Watch out!

Oh, shit.

Come on, Lewis! Let's go! I think it's working!

In here! This way.

Move, move. Go!

Go!

Move it! Come on. Pick up! Get up.

I'm good. Go! Go!

Steady your gun!

Get down! Take cover, man.

Come on, doctor. Come on.

Incoming!

I got a man down! Man down!

Run!

Moving it up! More on that side!

Hurry.

She says, "Straight ahead, under the archway." Watch yourself.

Hold it. She says this is the place. Go, go.

Looks clear.

Where are they? Get on the bus. Go. Where's the rescue?

Where's the light?

Come on. Come on, come on. Work. Work. Work.

Come on. It's okay.

You sure this is the place? [speaking in foreign language]

Yeah. Ask them if they're sure. She said, "I'm pretty sure."

Major.

This thing is dead. We can't see them.

We're blind.

That's us. This is the landing zone.

Commander, are you seeing this? Those are the targets.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go, go, go. Let's go.

Move. Go on.

On the ground.

Fire.

Get down!

Move on my command. Move it out!

Hey! Hey!

Overhead!

Let's get to the tanks! Move it to the tanks! Move it! Move!

Move!

Open fire! Let it go! Get back! No.

Get back!

Left flank! Your six!

Where are they? I don't know! Where's Bogdan? Where'd he go?

Who's got him? Do you see them?

We'll find you!

Bogdan! Bogdan! Get him!

Bogdan! Bogdan!

Bogdan! Get back here! Get back here!

Come on! Come on. Take her. Get up.

Help her! Save her! I got her.

Let's go.

Come on!

Get up. Come on. Dr. Clyne, come on!

Get in! Okay.

Major. General Orland.

General, go for Sessions. Base has been lost!

We're sending you to our refugee bunker! Yes, sir.

Hey, where are we going? Base is that way. We're not going to base. Why not?

It's been compromised.

Hey, they're spreading through the streets.

They're everywhere.

They just gonna leave us here? There's more people to airlift.

What is this place? Entrance is over here.

Open the door! Open the door! Get back!

Put your weapons down.

Put your weapons down! Do it now!

He's saying, "Safe inside."

Hey.

Okay. It's okay.

Stay close.

Hey, hey, hey. Look at me. Look at me. She's not okay. Come here.

I'm gonna need some room. It's okay. It's okay.

What the hell happened to base? Base got overrun.

The general is meeting us here. So, what is this place?

We're in a civilian refugee shelter.

This bunker has 20 feet of concrete and steel.

Are we safe here? I have no idea. But there's food and water.

Talbot, gather what you can. Toll, Chen, head back to the entrance.

There's a com center. See who you can reach. Alessio, you're with me. Let's go.

There. Where? There. Right over there.

Okay. On the bed. You're okay. Shh. You're gonna be okay.

What happened? It's her shoulder.

Her shoulder has shrapnel in it. We're gonna cut open her sleeve.

Get the IV line ready.

This is yours.

Now, I need your help, Sari, to stop the Aratare.

I need to know what your father knew. What did your father do?

- He worked with ceramics. What did he make?

He made containers.

He made containers for Masarov.

The power plant where the Aratare came from.

Let's get the mask on her. Okay, we have to take her now.

This is the U.S. Armed Forces! Open it.

Lower your weapons.

How many are you? Not many.

Let's give them a hand.

Let's go.

Bring as much as you can. The base was overrun.

It was like a wave.

Invisible. Men just started falling.

Our conventional weapons were useless.

I requested an order to evacuate the base...

but our long-range come are completely scrambled.

So, I took all the gear I could.

I started sending units north out of the area of operation.

Kept five aircraft with the least amount of fuel, stayed behind with one platoon.

Out of the 240 of us, we have 19 remaining.

Did you get a message to higher command? No.

Is there a rescue mission planned? No. We intercepted radio chatter

from Moldovan friendlies to find this place.

We sent that bird to pick you up and bring you here.

If you'd even tried to return to base, you'd be dead.

We're the last U.S. forces in the country? I hope so.

So, what's the plan, sir? Came here to regroup, major.

There's no plan.

I recommend we fortify the entrance. Fortify with what?

We wait till a rescue mission... Fortify with what?

They'll come through whatever you use.

We need to take our chances on a helo... There's 20 minutes of flight time!

Twenty minutes of flight time in those birds. Not more!

There's not enough room for all of us anyway.

We need to form teams and take the aircraft. But where you gonna go, major?

You can't run from them. You can't stop them. Your weapons are useless.

We have no idea what they are!

If they come through that door, we're sitting ducks.

We can't stop them! We can't stop them!

Take what we can and go.

I know what they are.

I know what they are.

I know what they are.

We think we're seeing things.

We think it can't be real, but it kills. So, it is real. It's something.

It's not light, it's not shadow,

or some trick of the mind. Pass through walls, check.

Outside the visible spectrum, check.

Kills to the touch, check.

Comstock. He was under a ceramic bathtub, is that right?

Tank armor. It couldn't pass through tank armor.

M1 Abrams tank armor, that's ceramic plating everywhere.

It cannot pass through ceramic. You know what that means?

It means this stuff isn't natural.

Someone made it.

It's man-made.

Man-made how?

Okay. You have solid, liquid, gas. Lava can turn into rock.

Ice can turn into water. Metals can melt. These are natural states.

But there are unnatural states. Artificial states, man-made states.

Condensate.

Bose-Einstein condensate.

A state of matter that was predicted by Nath Bose and Albert Einstein.

It has some very unusual properties. It can be slowed down by iron filings.

It cannot pass through ceramic, but it can pass through walls.

It's so cold it will kill you instantly on contact.

It can do everything we've been seeing here.

To create Bose-Einstein condensate, you need power, and you need a lot of it.

Masarov. The power plant. Yes, Masarov. Where they were made.

You said this country was pouring billions into weapons research.

This is a weapon.

And it was set loose, or it broke loose. All right, but these things climb.

They're like humans. It looks like a person.

So can marble and clay in the right hands. And I wanna know why.

Why they look like people. I can't tell you how they did this.

What I can tell you... is that someone made them.

If someone made them, they don't escape the laws of the world. Nothing does.

It shines light on new laws, and that's what we have to learn.

They have order and structure. They can be broken down.

Anything can be. It's just energy. And since I know what they are,

I can build the right weapons. What kind of weapons?

Plasmic-discharge. They can tear apart the condensate.

Where will we find weapons like that? We're gonna build them.

Build them with what? Anything we can find in this bunker.

Anything with electronics. Optics, ballistic casings.

All the gear you brought from base.

We can take it all apart, and I can build an arsenal.

And then we can go to Masarov and stop this before it goes any further.

Because if we don't, the condensate will feed on all the energy in its path.

It'll grow exponentially. There's no limit to how far they can spread.

Unless we stop them.

Let's get this gear inside, guys. Come on. Let's move!

Same number each side.

All right, let's go, boys!

Any med patches in there? We got three of them over here.

It's a ground-to-air tracking scope. We can use this. They have good optics.

Good. This is good. Two more over there. See that 305?

Half of these are labeled "defective." We need a voltage counter.

I want you to start testing these.

All right, open it up.

Get that one open. Pop it.

Is that what I think it is? We got the lotus from base.

That's badass. Looks like a mechanical Rottweiler. Look at that.

Clyne's making a few changes.

They're taking down a chain hoist and putting up a searchlight. Déja vu.

What does it fire? It's a focused energy pulse.

If my math is right...

It should break down condensate.

Masarov.

The single largest power plant in the region.

It's where the killings started. If they're man-made, they were made here.

It's less than ten clicks from here.

Our birds can make that, but... it's probably one way.

I've been digging for clues with the civilians. I found intel on Masarov.

It's been retrofitted several times over the last decade by the central regime.

It's got "weapons research" written all over it.

Okay, you and Clyne need to be embedded to infiltrate.

It's up to the both of you to figure out how to stop this.

We have to create a diversion.

We'll draw them out here so you can infiltrate the structure

and try to find the source.

Clyne's predicting the charge from these will be extremely hot.

Enough to destroy condensate. We'll find out soon enough.

All right, boys. This is it.

If you have any last words... now's the time.

All right, listen up. You are using untested weapons...

against an enemy that, to this point, has been unstoppable.

Now, you are heading into unknown territory.

And hear me when I say you're gonna see things you will not understand.

Our enemy has spread through the city in a matter of days.

There's no telling how far they will spread... unless we fight back.

Most men never even come close... to changing the future.

This is the place.

And now is the time.

Make no mistake, you're the last line of defense.

Let's go do what we came here to do.

Let's go, let's go!

One minute.

Thirty seconds. Spearhead 1, proceed with descent.

All right, let's go.

Here we go.

Let's move!

We have a visual.

Hostile target gathering at 12 o'clock on east end of platform.

Move, move!

We are a go.

I have a confirmed spectral kill.

We're a go. I say again, all units go.

Let's show them what we've got. Come on. This is it! Let's do it!

Let's go. Drop.

Copy, Spearhead 1. All units engage.

Spearhead 2 taking north peninsula.

Spearhead 3 beginning descent over south peninsula.

At least a dozen targets coming out. Go! Go! Let's move!

On me! All units, you are clear to engage.

Move in! Move it!

Lock and load. Move out. Let's move.

Right behind you! Weapons free! Weapons free!

Let's go. Move up!

Move! Come on!

I said go, go, go! Move!

Spearhead 2, you're go for infield. Proceed to insertion point.

Go, go, go!

Get down!

Right there.

Toll! Go! Go!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Somebody get on top! Down right there!

We got more incoming! Keep formation! Let's move it!

Fight! Fight! Move!

Let's go, go, go! Go, John!

Do we have a sit-rep? Right now.

Clyne, what's the situation down there? Sessions, we got split up.

We're still looking for the lab. We're holding. Don't know how long.

Do you copy? Can you hear me? Sessions?

We gotta keep going.

We gotta be close now.

God.

Look over here. Bose-Einstein condensate.

Look at these x-rays.

They were scanning people. On a molecular level.

And printing them out of condensate.

It's an assembly line.

Like some kind of...

industrial process. You're right.

It's a weapon.

What happened here?

It looks like a catastrophic failure. Half the cells are broken and empty.

Some structural failure must have set them free. Opened up Pandora's Box.

Now what?

Incoming!

Hey!

Hey, 12 o'clock!

Do it! They're coming back! They're moving! All eyes on target.

One of them is reforming. [man 2 over radio] Bring it down!

"Top research advisers of the central regime."

This man was trying to stop it. They did lose control.

Can you translate this?

It's an emergency shutdown procedure. Half these words I've never seen.

What about the other half?

"Decouple... Decouple procedure.

Disconnect the umbilicals to, uh... interrupt the... neural activity."

Okay. So, you gotta unlock all these ports.

And then you gotta pull this bracket here to release all the cables. And then?

That should stop them.

Take this.

Come on! Get up!

Right there! There's more! Another one!

Got it right there!

Clyne! I know!

What the hell? I did them all. Nothing's happening.

Clyne! Pull the bracket! In the middle!

No! No!

Is it over? I don't know.

Can you walk?

I'm all right. Come on. We have to find a way out.

Do you hear that? Yeah.

This is it.

They weren't just scanning people.

They're not just printouts.

This is what's controlling them.

These are from real corpses.

They're not alive.

They're not dead.

They're just trapped somewhere in between.

But they are in pain.

How do you know?

This is pain.

But how do you know they can feel?

I can't prove it.

I can't.

So, maybe there are things science can't answer.

No. Wait, no.

This is why we came here.

This is the evidence. This is why you came, remember?

Remember? So many people have died. You said it.

You said, "I wanna know why." I know enough.

You have to think about the bigger picture.

I am.

Help them off single file.

Got more coming in! Put them in Unit 5.

Over here. Over here. Watch his neck.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Give me your hand.

Right there, sir. Welcome back.

You okay?

New survey teams. They're gonna take Masarov apart piece by piece.

Measure everything.

Try to reverse-engineer it. Fight over ownership.

I've been asked if you wanna go back out there. I said I'd ask, but...

I've seen what I came to see.

They don't stop, do they?

I don't think they know how.

I told you you'd go home to Virginia without unpacking. Delta Unit, move out.

Thank you.
