- Becca?
- Don't worry. You're safe now.

- Get away from me! Get away from me!
- Okay, calm down!

- Who are you?
- You were shot. We found you.

Wait! Where are you going? Where am I?

Are you gonna literally
bring a knife to a gunfight?

- Please, put that down.
- I'm not putting anything down

until you tell me where I am

and why you got me
locked up like a prisoner.

You are in Cornelius, North Carolina.

My name is Willie McComb.

I live here with my daughter, Alicia,
whom you've met, and her children.

I shot that flying thing
that had a hold of you,

and I also pulled a bullet
out of your leg.

Not one of mine.

No, I know whose it was.

So you some kind of criminal? Thief?

Is that why you got shot?

No, listen to me. I can't stay here.

You're not going anywhere.

That bullet tore a hole in your leg.

It'll be fine in a few days,
but you gotta stay off it.

I was a medic in 'Nam.

I don't think you understand.
There's a war on,

and I've got people out there
waiting for me.

No, sir. There is no fight here, no war.

This is a safe place.

Some fresh clothes.
You can clean up if you want.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Damn it.

Where's a gas station when you need one?

We need to find a real nurse.

Does your gang have a medic?

2nd Mass. Stands for "2nd Massachusetts."

2nd Mass?

Is that some callback
to the Revolutionary War?

Like you're the Continental Army
fighting the British again?

Yeah, pretty much.
How you know about that?

My dad was a history buff.

Yours, too? Mine was a history teacher.

Huh.

We'll find him. Don't worry.

Here we are, good people.

Welcome to Fayetteville, North Carolina,

a rendezvous point before continuing

to the naval base in Norfolk.

From there, it's D.C. or bust.

For the next few days,
this is home, sweet home,

so fire up the Jacuzzi

and get cozy!

Let's get to it.

Hey, Anne.

Hal and dad, still no word on them yet?

- Pope took Hal.
- What?

He kidnapped your brother.

He went out there to go get him back.

Ben and I are taking one of the trucks.

- We're gonna go find him now.
- No, you can't do that.

Whatever's waiting for us
in D.C., I need you guys there.

There's no way around it.
You two and your spikes

make you the star soldiers
of the 2nd Mass.

We need to stick together, okay?

I need you, both of you.

A whiskey distillery.

How did you conveniently
find that on a map?

Well, it was not the Colonel, Anne Mason.

It was the Volm tracking device.

It can detect and track
jamming interference.

But we surmise that the Espheni are hiding

an extraordinarily powerful
communication apparatus here.

I'll have my men
set up sentries, recon,

patrol the perimeter for any sign

of this communication device, Cochise.
Thank you.

Mmm-hmm.

It's so coincidental
that we ended up here.

Place feels like home.

Colonel, I got your bags.
Toothbrush, front pocket.

Socks and undies in the side compartment,

separated from the outer garments.

I got your trousers rolled to the front...

Hey, no need for that, Marty.

I need to help, Colonel.

You saved my life.

I can't leave a big debt unpaid.

I can handle my gear,
and you can stop feeling guilty.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no, you got me!

- Aah!
- So close!

Ooh, I almost got you.

Almost!

Oh, no, I ran out of shots.

- Put the toys away, please.
- Okay.

What happened to your leg, sir?

You're up. You feeling better?

Seeing as you're our guest,

why don't you sit
at the head of the table?

Dear Lord,
we ask you to bless this food,

and we also thank you
for our new friend, Tom,

- and pray for his speedy recovery. Amen.
- Amen.

Would you like some potatoes?

Thank you.
Pass me the corn, please.

Okay, Grandpa.

You have to make sure
you eat some vegetables, sweetheart.

Are you okay?

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

- I'm okay. I'm sorry.
- No. That's fine.

How about some cornbread?

1,000 acres.

No major roads, no neighbors.

Good tree cover.

- Paradise.
- Yeah.

And we farm, we fish, live off the land.

Trap rabbits, squirrels,
catch crawdads in the creek,

get our water from the spring.

I got a gas generator.

I was big on stockpiling
before the invasion hit.

And as soon as it did,

I figured it had to be judgment day.

Yeah, well, I guess we all
figured the world had ended.

All I could do was

protect my family and wait
for the doggone thing to pass.

And that's one thing you learn
when you get to be my age.

Everything passes.

Everything.

Not that we haven't had a few scares.

Explosions and rockets
flying through the air.

Bought this property
40 years ago with the wife.

She died.

That was just before our son-in-law

died in Afghanistan, which is when

Alicia moved up here with the kids.

Their dad was a paratrooper,
and a good man.

No, the biggest problem we've had so far

is just keeping all
of that stuff away from them.

You mean the kids don't know
about the war?

And not telling them,

- best decision we ever made.
- You think?

- I can understand why Alicia wouldn't...
- Look, I served.

So you and I both know
that war is not a pretty thing.

The more we can shield
those kids, the better.

I can exit the room if
you wish to speak privately.

No. Stay. It actually might help.

What is it, Maggie?

- Sorry, it's a zoo. What's going on?
- Um...

My spikes.

- I want them out.
- What do you mean?

You want... You want me
to perform surgery right now?

Yeah, I do.

Maggie, it was no small feat

getting those spikes in your spine

in the first place,
and you don't wanna risk

being a paraplegic.

Wait, just... Wait a second. Talk to me.

What is going on here?

Okay, Cochise has
the Volm device to do it.

He said it'll take less than an hour,

and the spikes have a healing...

An engineered bio-plasma.

There is a chance the spine
has regenerated,

making removal of the spikes
potentially harmless.

Potentially.

I'm willing to take the risk.

Is this about Ben?

We're at a critical point
right now, Maggie.

We're on our way to D.C.

I'm not saying no.
I'm just saying not right now.

Oh, right, I forgot.
I'm one of your star soldiers.

You can't afford to lose amazing Maggie

and her death-defying feats of skill,

no matter what it costs me.

That is not fair.
We have all paid a price.

I know.

I know I'm being selfish, but, Anne,

I have been a private person
my whole life,

and I need that independence back.

The ability to choose who I wanna be,

how I wanna act, I'm no use
to anyone anyway without that,

or this war.

I'm sorry, Maggie.

As soon as all of this is over,

I will help you, I promise.

It's not personal.

How could it be more personal?

Hey, hey, hey. You see this?

- You got him.
- This is the one that took my dad.

You see this?
This is his jacket right here.

There's some tracks right here.

Let's go.

I see the President is still battling
Congress over the budget.

Some things never change.

Sorry I'm late.

You know your mother worries
when you miss dinner like that.

I know. I said sorry.

This here is Tom.

He took a bit of a spill,

so we're gonna help him heal up.

Tom, this is my oldest grandson, Kyle.

- Hi.
- Is that Kyle?

Go on. Get in there.

- I told you about this.
- Hey, lay off, Mom.

Uh, do not speak to me like that.

- How old is he?
- Fifteen.

You know you are
to be home for supper.

Whoa!

It's okay. I just cut myself.

Oh! Oh-ho-ho.

I broke a glass.

Wrap this around it.

- Okay.
- Keep it elevated.

Ooh. Okay.

Why don't you see if you
can find a fresh bandage?

- Kyle, first aid kit. Come on.
- Yeah, yeah.

My dad said he explained
our situation to you,

that my kids, they don't know...

Yeah, it's none of my business.

They're just children, you know?

Mmm-hmm. Not my business.

Okay. Good. Oh, this is great.

All right, when I unwrap it,

I'm gonna put this over the wound,

and then I want you to wrap it really
tight with gauze, okay?

- Okay.
- Ready?

Okay.

Start wrapping.

- Go.
- Yeah.

- Like this?
- Okay.

- Keep going. Wrap it around.
- It'll be okay.

- You got it?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Round and round.
- Yeah.

Are you a doctor?

No.

Little tighter, little faster.

No, I'm not a doctor.
My kids and I have had to do

our share of injury wraps
over the years, though.

My youngest son, Matt, he's

13, he's pretty good at it.

On-the-job training, I guess.

Kyle?

Okay, I get it.

He's sheltered and he's too big

to be freaking out at the sight of blood.

You're used to fighting.

You think everyone should be fighting,
even your own kids.

Well, we didn't really
have much of a choice.

Well, as long as I do have a choice,

that's not what I want for my son.

We've been through too much already.

I don't wanna discuss
any of this with him.

This war that you're
pretending doesn't exist

is gonna show up one day,
uninvited, on your doorstep,

and after your father's murdered,

and after you're captured and tortured,
and your kids are enslaved,

then, yeah, I think it would be
a really good idea

if your 15-year-old son knew how
to use a goddamn Band-Aid.

The aliens haven't shown up here
because you've been lucky.

Your luck will run out,
and your son should be prepared.

I am not sending him out there
to get killed like his father.

What? What is it that
you're fighting to restore?

Isn't it this? Normal kids? A normal life?

I'm sorry. Obviously, I...

Thank you for your help with my hand,

but I do not need your help
raising my children.

We know the Espheni
are hiding something here.

Narrow down the search,
start looking inside the perimeter.

- Dismissed.
- Colonel?

Hey, I've been looking all over for you.

- Yes, Marty.
- I just wanna let you know

that your tent space is fit for a king.

I got your personal effects organized.

I got your bedroll laid out...

Marty, you wanna repay me,
here's what you do.

This is a whiskey distillery.
Go find me a bottle.

Yes, sir.

Um...

Anne said you might wanna be alone.

Well, she's right.

I wanna be alone.

Look, I know that
none of this is Anne's fault,

and that I should probably be grateful

she saved my life
with these damn spikes...

I'm going through it, too, you know?

Ben...

I've survived by being
in control of myself,

of my body, and that's who I am.

And now I've lost that,

and apparently,
with surgery out of the question,

there's nothing I can do to change that.

Okay, I'll keep my distance.

I will do the surgery for you.

Forgot the secret handshake.

What are you drinking?

Gilead.

I see.

Give me one.

Your mom would shoot me in my other leg

if she knew about this.

I just found it.

Like, a whole case in
a wrecked car off Highway 24,

like, two weeks ago.

Hey, look, my dad said he had
his first beer when he was 12...

You don't have to explain it to me.

I'm not gonna tell anybody.

Thanks.

You gotta ditch the cigarettes, though.

Those haven't been popular
since the Nixon administration.

Good.

Can't stand 'em.

Was wondering what the big deal was.

Girls.

There's something going on out there,

but my mom won't tell me what it is.

What's, like, happening?

You should talk to your mom.

But you know. I can tell.

Hey, you know, if my dad was alive,

he'd tell me the truth.

I think your mom's just trying to do

what she thinks is best for you.

What do you think is best?

You know what? Drink by yourself.

You're just like the rest of them.

So, how'd you know you could trust me?

To help me, I mean.

You mean rescue you?

- Okay.
- I don't know.

My gut feeling told me that if
Pope hated your father so much,

maybe your father was a good man.

You're lucky to have a father like that.

So, what was your dad like?

Really?

Right.

So, do you think this is the moment

where I snivel about my puppy,
share my feelings,

and cry over your shoulder? Forget it.

Fine. No, no, you're right.

Why don't we chronologically
regurgitate Super Bowl scores?

I'll bet you're great at this game.
But I'll go first. So...

Green Bay 35, Kansas City 10.

- Green Bay 33, Oakland 14.
- Okay, stop.

No, no, hold on.

- We got New York versus Colts...
- Stop, stop, stop.

- No, I cannot hear any more...
- 16-7.

- My father was a diplomat.
- Okay.

He was, um, minister of foreign affairs
in Mexico.

He said,

"Deep down, people are good."

And I was raised believing that.

But I know better now.

People can be savage.

I mean...

I've done stuff that I'm ashamed of, too.

I'm sorry.

I mean, it's war.

It happens.

Iced tea sound okay?

Oh, iced anything sounds like a miracle.

Yeah.

You homeschool them?

Yes.

Yeah, you'd be surprised

what you can remember
from the 11 Th grade.

Oh, wow.

De Tocqueville's Democracy in America.

I used to love teaching this book.

- You're a teacher?
- Yeah.

College. American history.

Great.

Maybe you can answer a few questions

about that book later.

Oh, I'd be glad to.

You know the irony?
I'm a high school dropout.

I met the kids' father my senior year.

He was the first man to
hold open a door for me, so...

Off I went. Military bride.

Thank you.

But necessity is
the mother of invention, right?

Well, not for everyone. Cheers.

Wish we had someone like you back at camp.

I mean, the kids could really benefit

from having somebody like you around.

Oh.

Listen, this is your home.
I understand that.

I have to tell you...

Kyle is angry,

and he's got a lot of questions,

and he's looking for answers.

You think I don't know that?

I can't imagine trying to raise kids
out there in the middle of all that.

Hasn't been easy.

Your eye looks better.

Flesh wounds.

I'll be out of your hair tomorrow.

No. Don't be nuts.

You start walking on that leg too soon,

and, well, it'll get worse.

Well, I've got people that are
wondering where I am.

Well, you're not a burden.

It's been nice having someone around.

You must understand,
I can make no promises.

Once I begin, there is no turning back.

I know. It's what I want.

What?

What's wrong?

I was thinking
how upset Anne Mason will be

when she finds out
I went against her wishes.

And yet, taking care of your friends

is precisely what I learned from her.

Come now.

Let go.

Oh, no.

Her pulse is faint.

Skin is cool. She's hypothermic.

Damn it.

I was afraid removing
the last spike could kill her.

There's no turning back.

It's cutting off her spinal column.

We have to get it out now.

You wanna explain to me
what the hell you were thinking?

Not particularly.

Cochise, Colonel needs you
in the storage cellar right away.

His bags are gone. His closet's empty.

Kyle? Kyle?

Dad?

I checked all the barns!
He's nowhere around here.

I'll check the roads.

You can't drive that thing!
You're injured!

I'll be all right.

I'm gonna head down that way.

Kyle?

It is definitely Espheni
communication technology.

So this is what the Volm Intel
was zeroing in on.

Nice work, Marty.

You think the Overlords are
using this to communicate?

It is quite possible, yes.

We have long believed that the Espheni

have perfected a transcendental method

to access each other remotely
across long distances.

- A shadow plane.
- Yeah, well, then this must be

some kind of a hub,
like a communications relay.

And if we can access their communication,

intercept their intelligence...

It could mean a path to victory.

What was it?

There's Overlords,
and they're communicating.

That's a Mega Mech,

used by the Espheni,
our enemies in the war.

We've been at war against
alien invaders for three years.

Most of the world's population is gone.

Look, I wanna be a fighter, like my dad.

Take me with you.

These aren't like the enemies
your dad was fighting.

So they're worse, scarier, whatever.

Look, teach me how to fight them.

Teach me what to do.
I'll be the best soldier you got.

God knows I could use
all the good soldiers I can get.

And I believe you would be a good one,

but your mom doesn't see it that way,

and she's already lost so much.

That's not my fault. All right?

I can't bring my dad back.

Take me.

Please.

Yeah, did you really think
lying was the best thing for me?

But, Kyle...

I'm gonna go fight in the war.

I guess I was holding out
for as long as I could.

But sometimes...

I mean, is this really what he wants?

He wants to go and fight, to be a soldier?

Like his dad.

- What would you do?
- Oh.

I don't know that I can
make that choice for you.

I do think that

Kyle has to decide for himself,
or he'll never forgive you.

He can go with you.

I promise I'll look after him,

like he's one of mine.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just... It's, um...

It's been a long time since I've been...

- Get the hell off my property!
- Whoa! Easy now.

I'm sorry!

Look, you stop
right where you are!

Let me see your hands!

- No, no, no!
- Take it easy.

That's my son!

Dad.

Oh, boy, am I glad to see you.

Wow.

It was a really close call,

but all your spikes are completely out.

- Thank you.
- It wasn't me.

It was Cochise.

Okay, I want you to try and stand up.

Okay.

It's okay.

- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I guess you won't be
climbing any 30-foot walls anytime soon.

But the fact that you're alive
and not paralyzed

is a hell of a lot more than okay.

I've never gone behind your back,
'cause I trust you.

And I thought you trusted me, too.

I do. I...

Anne, you always come through for me.

And I'm...

I'm sorry.

We gotta get back to the 2nd Mass,

get back to focusing on winning the war.

Sounds like a solid plan to me,

unless you're thinking about
sticking around here.

Don't tell me you're not
gonna miss this place.

Well...

Let's just say that I've got a clearer
picture of what we're fighting for.

They've stayed out of it
the whole time?

Yeah, they have.

Wow.

Some lucky kids.

Got this old jalopy working like a charm.

She's ready to go.

Now, you keep safe with our boy now.

Yes, sir, I will.

Reading material for the road.

Um...

Hey, Kyle.

Yeah?

You remember when you asked me
what the best thing was?

Stay here. That's the best thing.

What are you talking about?
We decided. I'm going.

Look at them.

I'm telling you,
the bravest thing that you can do

is stay here and protect them.

The people that love you.

No. You can't just change your mind.

This is what we're fighting for.

We're gonna win this war.

We're gonna rebuild America.

There's gonna be
a lot of battles yet to come,

and they're gonna need to be fought
by strong families, led by strong men.

I knew it.

I felt something,

like a piece of myself being torn away.

I just didn't wanna believe it.

You could have told me that this is what

- you were planning to do.
- I wanted to.

Please know that I wanted to.

Maggie, I...

I gave a part of myself to you,

and you threw it away like it was garbage.

You know what?

You probably would've talked me out of it,

and then I wouldn't
have gone through with it.

I would have tried to understand.

I'm sorry, Ben.

But I had to.

But I love you.

Thank God.

What happened?

Well, I got shot.

I got shot, too.

Uh, I'm sorry to cut the reunion short,

but Mason and I got business.

And this here, this is
my youngest brother, Matt.

We were worried about you.

Thanks for looking after him.

- You made it.
- Yeah.

- You're hurt. Are you okay?
- Yeah, no, I'm good.

Your spikes.

They're... They're gone.

Mmm-hmm.

Uh...

So, Isabella, this is... This is Maggie,

and, Maggie, this is Isabella.

I've heard a lot about you.

- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.

It's nice to meet you.

Yeah, nice to meet you, too.

Hey.

Welcome back, Mason.

You actually don't
look like shit this time.

- My squeaky wheels got a little oil.
- Good.

Then you'll be ready more than ever
for the big showdown.

I think we found the first nail
in the Espheni's coffin.
