Falling Skies

Aliens killed my wife.

It wasn't my hate that kept me going.

It was my love...

Previously on Falling Skies.

Since I woke up with the spikes,

I feel like... I'm drawn to you.

Espheni power core,

was never on earth in the first place.

It powers the entire Espheni war machine.

We are gonna blow that son of bitch up.

Who do you propose

to pilot that flying saucer to the moon?

Me.

Let me be your weapon.

Bye, Daddy.

Tom always finds his way home.

That overlord said that there was a danger coming,

and until he does...

We have to finish what he started.

We have to end this war.

Tom mason. It's about time.

You are safe and sound. We come in peace.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Who's there?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Show yourself.

Tom mason.

It's about time.

Oh, my God.

You're beautiful.

What is it? You look pale.

Rebecca?

Wait.

What are you doing here?

Where are we?

Nice try, Tom.

You promised me ‭we'd talk before dinner.

How did we get home?

This is just another game.

This is another game.

What do you want, Rebecca?

The cancer's back. ‭We have decisions to make.

I remember this conversation.

I know.

Me too.

They say with breast cancer,

you're not out of the woods for five years.

It's been four.

I almost made it.

But this time...

The, uh, radiation, like we talked about,

would be the safest.

It's not enough.

What do you mean?

I want to do the chemo, too, hit it with both barrels.

Just a round of radiation.

And maybe

this monster goes back into remission.

But maybe not.

Then we have to have this conversation again.

And again and again.

I'm tired of running for my life.

I want to eradicate this.

So that it leaves me and never comes back.

I don't want to just survive.

I want to take back control of my life,

of our lives.

Don't you?

Yes.

I am so tired.

And you can't be afraid.

You never know where a rogue cell might be hiding.

We have to stop reacting.

We have to kill it at its source.

You have to get mad, Tom.

More than mad.

Tap into your primal rage until this is over,

Even if it costs you.

Okay?

Find your warrior.

It's time.

They're waiting.

Dan, they're your soldiers.

They're your people, Anne.

They need to hear from you.

I know it hurts,

but you got to own the pain

so that you can get through it.

Okay.

Own it.

It's been two days.

No sign of Lexi and Tom.

So, I'm just gonna say

what you're all already thinking.

They're gone.

They're gone.

That's the bad news.

The good news... they succeeded in their mission.

They succeeded.

The Espheni power core is down.

And in the days leading up to our victory,

we witnessed a mass exodus

of their ships leaving our planet.

We don't know why,

but we know they have their work cut out for them now

dealing with the mess we just made for them,

and that means one thing...

For once,

we have the upper hand.

So, let's do this!

My husband and my daughter gave their lives

so that we could finish this,

and that's what we're gonna do...

Finish it.

I know that some of you can never forgive Lexi.

There are days I'm not sure I've even forgiven her.

But whatever she was guilty of,

there's no denying the sacrifice that she made

with her true father by her side.

They flung themselves into the unknown for us.

That was my husband.

That was my daughter.

That was my family.

I want these barricades up by nightfall!

Move!

What's the matter, Butterfield?

Is that too heavy for you?

You want me to get ‭one of the little children

to carry it for you?

Hey, Colonel!

What's with this barricade? The power core's out.

We need to hit them now. We need to hit them hard.

What we're not gonna do

is spend another night risking any surprise ambushes.

What are you talking about?

They're not gonna attack anybody.

They're running scared.

It's not the time to get cocky. We need to be smart.

We're shoring up our defense

so we can get through the night in one piece.

Relax. Hunting season opens at first light.

Yes, sir.

Let's move!

Come on!

Find your warrior.

That's far enough.

Mason.

No, no, no.

You have got to be kidding me.

Hang on.

Don't do that.

Let me get this straight.

You hijack an alien ship,

fly a one-way ticket to the moon,

get lost somewhere up there in the void of the galaxy,

and you still won't die.

What's in the bag, Cambridge?

Hey, hold on a second. Wait one damn second!

What the hell happened to you?

Oh, my god.

Tom?

Oh, god.

If I'm dreaming, ‭then I'll never want to wake up.

-Are you okay? - ‭I'm okay.

You have to tell me.

Lexi?

She saved us all.

Is that some kind of new Volm toy?

Have you used it before?

Relax.

It's gonna detect abnormalities

faster than I can right now.

I think if I had been force-fed eye worms, I would know it.

Has a certain subtle telltale feeling

like electroshock therapy.

So, you've told us everything about the overload... - "Scorch."

Yeah, and your last-second escape from the beamer and...

But you haven't told us how the hell you got back here.

You're all clean.

-What? - ‭Take that off.

-My necklace? - ‭Take it off.

Take it off. ‭I don't want you to wear it.

- What? - I'll explain it to you later.

Just trust me.

Thank you.

Yeah, anyway, like I said,

I was back in my bedroom in Boston.

You mean back home?

Yeah, except it wasn't a dream. It was a memory.

And it wasn't invasive like with the Espheni.

It was, um...

There was something very vivid about it,

almost pleasant.

Warm.

It was coming from somebody who really knew me.

Somebody that knew you?

Well, what was it?

The memory was, uh, a long time ago

when your mom,

Rebecca, had breast cancer.
