Falling Skies

Previously on Falling Skies...

It might know everything.

And if it doesn't talk?

How long have you been in communication with him?

Some of them have been able to

resist the effects of the harness.

So, how can I convince you?

Together, we could do what neither of us could do alone -

overthrow our oppressors.

What are you doing?!

So let's stop playing games, okay?

We're not safe here.

The fish-heads.

They're looking for you.

They're looking for your boy -- Ben.

I have to go away.

Where are you taking me?

There's a group of Skitters who have developed an ability

to resist their harnesses.

You mean act of their own free will?

I don't know how they did it,

but they've started a rebellion against the Overlords.

How did you find out about this?

Their leader contacted me.

How?

Through my spikes, the same way connected.

When I was harnessed, I saw and heard a lot of stuff.

I mean, I could tell them all kinds of things.

Battle plans, defenses --

Maybe, but we do still have to find them.

How?

Skitters.

Close by. Rebels?

Don't know yet.

Hold it. Those aren't --

You're right, Ben. They're not rebels.

They're with us.

It's as you predicted.

He's been in contact with the rebel leader.

You're wasting your time.

I'm not gonna say anything.

Come on, Ben.

Don't be like this.

You remember how that felt,

being connected...

completely...

fully?

There's so much I want to show you...

teach you.

We're going to do things together.

You can't even begin to imagine.

Ben, get down!

Move, move, move!

Dai, Anthony, keep them busy!

Boon, come on!

Come on! Give it up!

All the Mechs are standing down.

What the hell?

They don't want to risk it getting hit.

He's too important.

Then I guess you're coming with us.

Ouch.

Oh, I can barely move.

That's the idea.

It will remind you not to tear those stitches again.

They've been gone over an hour.

Ugh.

I should have gone with them.

Not with that wound.

Maggie, you need to take it easy.

Right.

Your bus is topped off and ready to roll for Charleston.

You didn't need to come up here to tell me that.

Yeah, well, if we're gonna be stuck

in different vehicles for 500 miles,

I want to grab all the Lourdes time I can.

He hasn't left the window since they went after Ben.

How long do we wait?

If Karen knew we're here, so do the aliens.

Only a matter of time before they lower the hammer.

And for all we know,

Tom's patrol could have been in an ambush --

They're coming back!

They're bringing Ben back,

and we're not leaving until they do.

Damn straight.

Jamil, what are you doing

when we still can't get the GTO working right?

I'm on it, sir. You better be,

because we're moving out as soon as Tom's back.

Captain Weaver, what are you doing out of bed?

My job.

You've got no business walking around

after what you've just been through.

Noted.

Now, is the med unit gonna be ready to move out?

Lourdes just sent the last stretcher down.

Good.

There's still a lot of medical supplies

down in the basement we could use.

No telling when we'll come across a cache like this again.

Take Lourdes. Liberate what you can.

Be back in 20 minutes.

All right.

They're gonna need security. That's you, Matt.

Start moving, soldier.

Yes, sir.

Captain, you're gonna want to see this.

What the hell are you doing out of bed?

The next person that asks me that

is gonna get knocked upside the head with this cane.

Noted.

I'm glad to see you got Ben. What about Karen?

She slipped away, but I brought you something else.

Hell of a catch, huh, cap?

Whoa.

I understood the objective was to recover your son.

And instead, you bring back a fish-head? We had no choice.

This may be our ticket out of here.

Tom, we need to get on the road to Charleston now.

That was the order!

I'm changing plans. We'll take him to Charleston.

They're gonna love him in Charleston.

But I think we got bigger problems.

Anthony, Dai, lock that big bastard down in the psych ward.

Tom and Tector, on me!

Lyle, help the Captain -- I'm fine.

Let's move! Move!

Mechs must be hung over! They can't hit crap!

They don't want to risk hurting their Overlord!

Draw your fire!

Conserve your ammo!

There must be some reason they're shooting.

All this noise is to keep our attention on them!

While they sneak in the back door?

I'll check it out.

Cover him! Cover Tom!

Crazy, Boon, Tector!

Just -- just leave it.

We need to get upstairs.

They backed off after the explosion.

Whatever you did back there...

seems to have settled them down.

I hope so.

Tom.

I know what you're gonna say, Captain.

This is the kind of hard choice I was talking about.

I'm not offering Ben up as a sacrifice.

I'm not suggesting that for a moment.

But we cannot protect him anymore.

I got lots of parents with lots of children here,

and every single one of them is being put at risk

because of what Ben has brought down on us.

Hey, that's not fair.

It may not be fair, but it's true.

And if you had any objectivity,

you would know that it was true, Tom.

Tell me what to do.

Well, right now, we're surrounded by the enemy.

And we're just gonna -- and no easy answers.

We're gonna have to wait and see what their next move is.

Tom Mason!

Well, that didn't take long.

Tom, are you there?

What do you want, Karen?

Things have spun a little out of control here, Tom!

Let's all take a deep breath and talk this out!

Start talking!

Your prisoner, my master --

turn him loose and you're all free to leave!

And if we don't?

Things can only get worse, Tom,

and none of us wants that to happen.

Hal, I'm glad you're okay.

I was worried Ben hurt you.

Really, Karen? Worried?

Yes. Very worried.

You gonna make another speech

about how the aliens forced you to kidnap Ben

and how horrified you were by it all?

My master wanted to take a more aggressive approach.

As difficult as this may be for you to understand,

I am still trying to protect you.

You can't have Ben.

Yes. That's clear now.

Hand over my master, and your lives will be spared.

Pull your forces back.

Once we're clear of the hospital,

we'll release him.

How do I know you won't kill him

the moment he's out of our sight?

You'll have to trust us.

Trusting you is problematic.

You don't have a choice.

If you won't listen to me, talk to him.

You've spoken with him when you and I were aboard his ship.

Dr. Glass, are you okay?

Yeah, I think so. Are you okay?
