Hunters

Previously on "Hunters"...

Why did McCarthy single out the new agent?

- He has the scar. - (screaming)

Losing you was the worst thing that ever happened to me.

I know what you are.

Emme, I'm still the same person.

You're not a person.

You're launching a nuclear attack on us.

We're not planning an attack.

We're trying to leave earth.

I'll tell you where the launch is.

In exchange, I get immunity.

This is a kill mission.

All Hunters are to be shot on sight.

We drove straight from the hotel,

got here as fast as we could.

He should be healing, I don't understand.

There are traitors everywhere.

Regan is inside.

Agent Regan can't be trusted.

She's my agent, not yours.

You are no longer in command here.

How'd you know?

I suspected Finnerman when the bomb went off.

I knew for certain the minute she sent me here.

Briggs betrayed me.

I'm sorry, Ruth.

Jackson.

- It's me. - Regan.

Are you all right?

I'm alive, at least.

We have McCarthy.

McCarthy?

He came to us.

Says he'll tell you where the launch is,

but only if he gets immunity.

Do you believe him?

I don't think we have a choice.

He says the launch is in 48 hours.

- All right, bring him in. - To ETU?

- What about Finnerman? - Don't worry about Finnerman.

She tried to have me killed.

Flynn went AWOL with me.

- It's safe, I'll explain... - What? No!

I'll explain later when you get here.

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

It's been a long night.

Just bring McCarthy in.

We need to stop this launch.

Mankind dreams of leaving their home planet.

They build machines to take them.

They know not how these ambitions will end.

How many Hunters have arrived?

Lots of families.

Children.

They're gathered in the hangar.

Liana's sending out a message to any stragglers

using the old system.

We purge in two days.

I must go to them.

Musa, no.

It's not good for them to see you in this condition.

I'll only worry them.

You need to take your medication.

Enough.

Get that away from me.

I should be healed by now.

They are amongst us.

Who are?

The Exalted, the traitors.

I killed as many as I could find.

But some must have survived.

You killed other Hunters?

They must be stopped before this retched flesh takes me.

You need to rest, Musa.

They are... inside.

I must regain my strength.

Take me to my Feelers.

I am weak.

I must feed.

The prodigal Hunter returns.

Truss, long time no see.

You're looking...

not so good.

Upstairs, training room.

Lionel came to us, he is our guest.

We will treat him with respect.

I'm sorry about what happened in the hotel.

I tried to stop it.

So you squared it with Finnerman?

There is something you ought to see.

No shit.

It wasn't us.

I know.

Hunters got to her.

Local P.D. found the body dumped

a few miles from here an hour ago.

They used the syringe, tissue extraction.

It's a warning.

They can get to any of us any time.

She deserved it.

Flynn, I want you to talk to McCarthy,

get negotiations started.

Yes, sir. Gladly.

Nobody deserves this.

She wanted to genocide an entire species.

You gonna defend her now?

You disobeyed a direct order

when you helped that Hunter family escape.

They were innocent.

There are gonna have to be some changes around here

if I'm gonna let you back on the team.

You don't get preferential treatment anymore.

Preferential treatment?

Are you serious?

Briggs treats me like a leper

and Flynn only likes me because I saved his life.

I mean from me.

You're a soldier, Regan.

You do as I say when I say it,

otherwise, I can no longer consider you one of us.

Human, you mean.

Do we understand one another?

Yes, sir.

Here's the deal.

If what you say is true,

we need answers and we need them now.

We're offering protective custody.

A security detail.

Your movement will be restricted,

but you'll be comfortable.

Hunters have our own ways of making a pact.

Get me a dagger,

the blood of six rabbits, and a gyroscope.

We don't need papers, Flynn, old boy.

Come on, man!

Seriously?

After everything we've been through together?

I trust you.

Then tell me where the launch location is.

I'm not just gonna tell you where it is.

I mean, where's the fun in that?

I knew it.

I know you're playing games with us.

I'll take you to it.

Field trip.

All right.

But if you try anything, I'll kill you myself.

Old dog, old tricks.

You don't have it in you anymore.

Don't make me prove it.

We're already tapped into Prism, call-mining for clicks.

They can't hide an entire launch site.

Then we search quadrant by quadrant until we find them.

Thought we were rid of you, Guano.

Get out of my face,

or you will end up like Finnerman.

Finnerman?

You haven't heard?

Hunters bagged your cougar.

Body's in the lab.

Where's this supposed spaceship supposedly going?

Why, to Saturn, of course.

Where the Hunter colony ship lies in high orbit.

The colony's ship will take everyone back

to the Hunter home planet

and so ends Hunter-human relations.

Except with me, of course.

If this checks out, McCarthy,

you got yourself a deal.

There's just one small detail.

Conventional human technology is too slow and inefficient

to travel to Saturn quickly enough,

so the ship that Musa built...

it's like your project Orion.

Go on.

Papa will explain.

Jackson!

I need to call the Defense Secretary and warn him now.

Jackson!

What's going on?

Project Orion was a spaceflight program from the 1950s.

The technology called for an...

The technology called for nuclear energy

to be used to launch a space ship.
