(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Come on.

Oh, sh*t.

Sarge, hang on!

Hey! That don't sound good!

- What are you doing?

- He's not gonna make it.

- Trent. Trent, come on!

- He's not gonna make it.

- Hey!

- [SARGE] Hurry that sh*t up!

Don't you do it!

Trent!

I'm gonna get you outta here,

Sarge.

If you ask me, you ain't got to

be no f***in' hero!

Swing! Swing!

Come on. Come on!

Hey, boy! Get-get my ass

out of here!

Don't let go!

Sarge, grab the ledge!

I got it! I'm on it!

Trent, look out!

Oh, f***! Ah!

Hold on!

Audrey!

Trent!

- Dad!

- Look at me! Stay with me!

- Dad!

- [AUDREY] Trent!

Save her.

Ah! No! No!

Mark!

Mark! Mark...!

Agh!

Audrey!

[MARK] The baby!

Holy sh*t.

Oh my God!

Come on. You f***in' thing.

Sarge! The baby!

Hey!

Bring it on, b*tch!

Mark!

Back! Get back!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hold on!

Come on!

Wait! Get back!

(ALIEN SHRIEKING)

Kenya, come on!

Are you okay?

Yeah. The baby?

Yeah.

She's grown. Mark,

where did you find her?

I'll explain.

Not the kid.

Sarge.

What if we deserved this?

Sh*t.

I've more than earned it,

but not the kid.

Mark, we have to go.

I'm so sorry, Mark.

Sarge?

Help me up.

River. Thirty feet down.

You got to be kiddin'.

Nope.

You know I'm blind, right?

Yeah. You're the lucky one.

There's a narrow ledge, okay?

So lift your foot.

Wait for me. Okay, you got it.

Sh*t.

Okay, ready?

Let's go.

Mark!

Kanya!

Kanya! Kanya!

Hey.

Take the baby. Take the baby.

Okay. It's okay.

C'mon, big man. That's okay.

Come on. Come on. I got you.

Okay. All right, I got you, man.

You made it, brother. You made

it, brother.

- No.

- What...

No, no.

No, no, no! No, no, no, no.

- Please, please.

- Okay, he's hurt. He's hurt.

- Please.

- All right?

Please. Help.

Do exactly as I say. Or we leave

you here. Move.

Yeah. Okay.

It's okay.

Hey? Excuse me?

The baby needs dry clothes.

Hurry up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- I'm gonna change her.

- Okay.

Shh-shh-shh. It's okay.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Let her go.

All right. All right. All right.

All right.

Police. I should have f***in'

guessed.

Golden Triangle. I already knew.

We're good.

Okay, what the hell does that

mean?

Nothing. Now just get the baby,

just get...

Look out!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Mother f***er.

C'mon, you little boy.

Come on. Come on.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Come on.

Mark! Mark.

Sua! Shh. Shh.

The baby.

Who are they? Warlords? Militia?

Worse... police.

Since the aliens came,

they've been on the warpath.

They take everything...

the women, too.

We need to get out

of this valley.

Look, I'll help you.

You... you get that baby to

a doctor, yeah?

F***.

Oy!

Minefield. No shortcuts in Lao.

She needs to rest.

We camp here.

When I was up on that ship,

I only saw one real alien.

All the rest were just slaves.

Bullshit.

You love your brother, right?

No matter what?

No matter what.

Well, these things are still

human up here.

Our family, our friends,

our brothers.

If one of 'em can be freed,

they all can be freed.

It's not bullshit.

What was her name?

I... I'm so sorry. Sorry.

No. How's the kid?

Uh, she-she's still growing,

Mark.

Yeah, I know.

I mean, what, you think

they can help?

You got a better plan,

let me know.

Right, okay.

Rose... my wife's name was Rose.

That's a classic.

She was.

Shh.

(GASPS)

What?

I don't know what you're sayin'.

I don't know what you're sayin'.

I don't know what...

Hey! Hey, hey, no, it's okay.

He's down. He's wounded.

He can't-he can't hurt you.

We'll take him with us,

so please, please...

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

It's okay, okay?

Okay, come here.

It's beautiful.

Wat Shiva.

A thousand years ago, we built

this to honor the gods.

Now, we use it to fight them.

Jesus Christ.

I hope they have room service.

F***in' Temple of Doom.

Harper.

- Mark.

- Nice to meet you.

What is this place?

Home.

How's it up there?

Not good.

Yeah, it's pretty f***ed, right?

She's got an extremely high

temperature.

What is she, three-years-old?

Try two days.

Yeah. They don't cover this

at med school, huh?

Actually, love, I'm a scientist.

Lemme guess, a chemist by trade.

Well, it pays better than

the CDC.

Plus, you really can't beat

the benefits.

We need to talk.

Tell me about the girl.

What you see in there,

that's what I know, that's it.

You think I care you're police?

You think that matters now?

Some sh*t matters. You hear me?

Some sh*t still matters, like

who I can trust.

I can't trust that guy.

Drug runners aren't real high

on my list.

As soon as Americans stop

buying... we stop making.

Well, I guess the apocalypse

wasn't a total loss...

then, was it?

Apocalypse. Yeah, that's funny.

Look around. When do you think

this place was built?

40 years ago you bombed us.

You tried to destroy us.

But we survived the American

apocalypse.

We'll survive this one, too.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

I've got a present for you.

I've never seen anything

quite like this.

Mm-hm.

Something changed her DNA.

Change how?

I don't know if she's human.

F*** me.

Hey, hey. Hey!

- She's not welcome here!

- Kanya! Hey, Kanya!

- Hey, hey, hey!

- Stop, stop. Stop!

- Enough! Enough! Enough!

- No, no, stop!

Enough, enough!

- Alien!

- No alien!

- No!

- Enough!

Listen to me. When I was on that

ship, I saw them...

doing experiments on our unborn

children, dissecting them.

Unborn babies.

When women see that light,

something happens.

The babies grow fast, most

of them die. She lived.

This child can be the key

to freeing the others.

Do you understand me?

Hope. She's our hope!

Now, I've got good news and bad.

Her cell walls are denser,

almost like a shielding.

Her blood is... nothing short

of extraordinary.

Yeah, right. Okay, good.

What's the bad news?

She's running out.

The constant growth has just

depleted her entire system...

and she's shutting down,

she needs a transfusion.

Oka... okay, but she's...

she's not human.

How can we match her blood type?

I'm not gonna lie.

Odds are we can't.

Hey! What about me?

I was weaponized.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

How ya doin' there, kiddo?

Hey.

Well, I'll be damned.

Yeah.

So, this is actually a bullet...

and this blue sh*t is what fuels

their light weapons...

mind control, all of it.

Can you make a vaccine?

Well, it's not actually a virus.

It behaves like bacteria,

a virus...

a sentient being, the whole

gamut.

Scientifically speaking, it's,

uh... completely bloody alien.

Except... it's biologically

compatible with our DNA.

Do you realize how

unlikely that is?

They've been here before.

I'll go one further.

They might have put us here...

planted us like a crop.

And every couple of millennia,

they come back to harvest.

Huh. You sure he's not doin'

the drugs?

But... they weren't counting

on one thing.

Evolution.

Her serum blocks it.

So, we load one of their bullets

with her blood...

into the right delivery system,
