DAUGHERTY:
A-Team.
Our mission is to seize and control
the B-Dock area,
clear away the bugs,
and evac the survivors.
Now, once we land, we join forces
with the K-12 team
at the fort. It's a standard
grab and go. After the rescue,
we return to the ship, take off,
then we blow the fort
and the bugs.
Are we clear?

We're on a rescue mission, people!
JONAH [OVER RADIO]:

What is your status?
DAUGHERTY:
Too many bugs.
No way to take back Fort Casey.

Wonderful to see you again,

You commandeered my damn ship.
Borrowing it. I'll give it back.
You're never gonna take

Guards, I believe Captain Ibanez
needs an escort to the Alesia.
[GRUNTS]
What do you want
with my ship, Carl?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Carmen, that's
classified. But I can tell you this.
This mission--
Oh, this mission will turn the tide.
You always were
such an assh*le.
And I was always so fond of you
as well, Carmen.
See you on Terra.
Friends always, right?

This is A-Team leader

Exit now. Dock B.

Show some hustle. It's quiet now,

I don't wanna lose

Major Henry Varro

Ha-ha-ha. Yeah. All right.
So, what the hell happened
to you guys down there?
We were right on top
of a m*therf*cking ant hill.
Varro saved our ass.
Then that ESP prick, Jenkins,
sent us on a death run.
Straight into
a g*dd*mn hive.
But you didn't hear
that sh*t from me.
Uh, I'm sorry,
you say something?
DAUGHERTY:
Attention!
You can all be proud of yourselves.
We saved some lives.
[ALL CHEERING]
And we k*lled some bugs.
But we lost
some good troopers today.
Here's to the dead.
ALL: And to the next man to die!
Now let's get back to Terra.
And we can put some real glasses
in these hands.
[ALL CHEER AND LAUGH]
Heh. Check it out.
What's the matter? You never saw
a flanker without her armor before?
Yeah. But they usually
look like Ratzass.
Ratzass?
Heh. That's what they call me.
Because you don't give
a rat's ass about anything.
What a surprise.
Hey,
you want me to show you

I could wash your back.
You don't wanna wash my front?
Hm.

OFFICER:
Captain on the bridge.
Stand down. This is
your ship, not mine, captain.
Simple respect,
Captain Ibanez.
For what happened on Planet-P
Venta Monis alone.
If only more strikes
were ex*cuted that way.
I had a good team.
What can you tell me?
About?
Where's my ship?
And why does Jenkins
want it so badly?
Believe me, if I could provide you
with any information--
This ship is in pursuit
of the John A. Warden, isn't it?
I understand your concern
for the John A. Warden,
Captain Ibanez,
but this is the Alesia
and we command it.
Our orders are to return to Terra.
Then show me the data
on the John A. Warden's path.
Where's she headed?
We don't know, captain.
We lost her signal
shortly after we began pursuit.
Please contact me when you
find the John A. Warden.
Aye, aye, captain.
GUNFODDER:
Hey, man.
Don't write this up, okay?
This is a serious wound.
Could've been a lot worse.
I can't keep something like this
off the record. I--
I'm gonna have to take your arm.
Fine.
But, look, at least do
what you can to make sure
it doesn't get back to my folks.
You can at least do that,
right, doc?
[RUMBLING]
Let's do this.
Um,
why don't we wait

Ratzass gets in one good solid hit

So up for a little training?

You've run long-range ops

What did you do?
Why won't you talk?
And why won't your men talk?
Heh.
[WHIRRING]
There are modifications
you can score on the black market
when you get to Terra.
But as far as what
the Federation will pay for,
it's still a good prosthetic.
Got it.
Nice job. Don't know
what you were nervous about.
I bet this looks as good
as all the others.
What others?
You're my first.
Matter of fact, you're the first guy
I've worked on that's actually lived.

My parents made that r*fle.
There was an armory

Hell, even I know

You make me sick.
Hm.
What's up, Lieutenant Daugherty?
I thought you were in Medical.
Ah, wasn't as bad
as it looked.
Ah.
Glad you two could make it.
MAN 1: Ow!
MAN 2: Whoo!
[♪♪♪]
RICO:
At ease.
I wanted to brief you all
personally, first and foremost
because I know the sacrifices
that both the crew
of the Alesia as well as
the defenders of Fort Casey
have made
and the great losses
that you've suffered.
And second, I know you could
all use some R&R about now.
Believe me, I've been there myself.
But, unfortunately,
we have a situation.
MAN 3: What?
Stow it.
The John A. Warden
has gone silent.
The Alesia is the only starship
in the area of last contact.
I have ordered your captain
to divert course,
find the Warden, and investigate.
Any questions?
Yeah.
I speak for everyone
from Fort Casey when I say this.
Shut the f*ck up.
It's okay. Go on.
We're only going in
if Hero takes point.
Hero?
Major Henry Varro,
Commander of Fort Casey,
General Rico.
Right.
Arrested by Dr. Carl Jenkins
for insubordination
at the battle of Fort Casey.
Fine. If Major Varro chooses
to participate in this mission,
the mobile infantry
will accept his service.
However, this will not,
in any way
be prejudicial to his trial,
is that understood?
Understood, sir.
We'll probably lose communications
as you cross the nebula.
Godspeed, Alesia. Dismissed.
DAUGHERTY:
Assemble in the staging area.
A word, Captain Ibanez.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Why did you let him take my ship?
[SIGHS]
Carmen, it's not your ship.
It belongs to the Terran Federation.
General Rico, perhaps you recall
there was a certain young trooper
who was with me when
the Roger Young went down.
I vowed that would never happen
to a ship under my command.
This is not my choice.
I mean, look, I don't care
what you thought of Carl
back when we knew him
and I don't care what you think now.
He's minister of Paranormal Warfare
and high command has authorized
him to use the John A. Warden.
Look, Carmen, this is a mission
that's so classified,
I don't even know what--
Look how well it's going.
You know the John A. Warden
like the back of your hand.
I need you to go aboard
with the insertion team.
I looked at the manifest.
That ship didn't just go dark.
Her signal was turned off.
And you know as well as I do,
the only one
who has the gall to run a Federation
starship dark is Carl Jenkins.
And how do you know
we're even close to my ship?
Before we lost contact,
we analyzed some of
the scattered signals.
Calculating course and speed,
we were able to get
a good estimate of its location.
Now, it's not spot on,
but we can get you
pretty damn close.
[♪♪♪]
Fine. I'll do it.
But not to save Carl's sorry ass.
I'll do it to take back my ship.
You just be careful.
We need you back intact
when this thing is over.
Thank you, Johnny.
Hey, Carmen,
when this thing is over,
maybe you and I can
meet at Zim's and, uh... Uh...
Yeah. Yeah. Sheesh.
I gotta tell you.
This will in no way
be prejudicial to your trial.
Aw, come on. I didn't have
anything to do with any of this.
I'm just the damn janitor
trying to clean it up.
[DOOR OPENS]
Look, major,
I'm no more enthusiastic
about saving Carl Jenkins
than you are.
But your men want you.
And something tells me
we're gonna need you.
Hm.
MAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
Lieutenant Daugherty,
we've found the John A. Warden.
Tell Captain Jonah to move
to standoff range. I'll be right up.
So which is it?
Get these chains off me.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
It'd be too bad
if a stray sh*t hit Jenkins.
I know you're pissed
but don't think sh*t like that.
They threw Hero into the brig.
You or me, Holyman or Kharon,
what do you think they'd do
to grunts like us?
They'd shove us
out of a g*dd*mn airlock.
So I gotta watch my ass?
Yeah.
But if you're not gonna do that,
at least watch mine.
Oh. Oh, man, f*ck you.
Can't believe I'm the only one
not getting laid around here.
[ICE BLONDE CHUCKLES]
Looks like you've got
your bases covered.
Tell me, Holyman,
which one's gonna save you today?
[CHUCKLES]
I can take care of myself.
Women, they make
the highs higher and
the lows more frequent.
Are atheists
the only philosophers
you can quote?
I find that believers
such as you say so few things
worth writing down.
And I've found that he who looks
so forward to the abyss
is simply afraid of the light.
Hm.
I'm gonna go get you a pen.
Wait, did you just make that up?
No, no, I'm not writing that down.
[♪♪♪]
John A. Warden, this is the Alesia,

even light code. Nothing.

How did the cannons fire?
And why target our own ship?
Jenkins tried to warn us.
Carl is alive?
Locked himself in a bug cage.
And you're just now telling me this?
Look, captain, if you're ready
for a full debriefing, I'm all for it.
Hero.
Jenkins found a queen on Fort Casey.
He ordered us to capture it alive.
What the--?
Tell her the rest, major.
IBANEZ:
Yes, major. Tell me the rest of it.
I knew trying to take the queen
would result in heavy casualties.
I wasn't gonna sacrifice my men
for a bug hunt.
So that's why
he had you arrested.
But he got the queen
after all.
Wait a minute. How the hell
can a bug control a starship?
HERO:
You're gonna have to ask
Jenkins that.
MAN:
What the--?
[♪♪♪]
We're moving.
Where?
No idea.
But if the queen is in control--
Need to stop her from getting there.
How?
Back to the engine room.
Shut them down.
Negative. Not enough
soldiers or a*mo.
[SIGHS]
What the hell are you doing?
Praying.
Well, keep it up.
We're gonna need
all the help we can get.
BUGSPRAY:
Now we're back in business.
DAUGHERTY:
Captain, you need
to take a look at this.
IBANEZ:
She's heading straight
for the Marjizon wormhole.
It'll take her
straight to Earth.
This is Captain Ibanez
to the L-6 Base.
Captain Ibanez calling L-6 Base.
This is Captain Ibanez
to Johnny Rico.
L-6 Base come in.
This is Captain lb--
What the hell
are you doing?
If she is in the engine room,
then I'm gonna hunt her down.
I'll back you up.
No. You stay.
Besides, you'll never be able
to fit through here.
I'll be back.
You're not gonna stop her?
ICE BLONDE:
She's a big girl.
She knows what she's doing.
Do we?
I bypassed the circuit board.
If we can gain control
without being detected...
[♪♪♪]
Strap yourselves in.
I'm not gonna sit in that blood seat.
Do it.
[BEEPING]
She's onto us.
Damn it.
[BUGS SCREECHING]

[ALL YELLING]
WOMAN:
General.
A Federation starship has just
emerged from the Marjizon Wormhole.
It's... It's the John A. Warden.
On screen.
They're receiving our signal, sir.
Any response?
No, sir, they're not responding.
Something's wrong.
Why would they head back
towards Earth?
Sir, if they keep their current
trajectory, the John A. Warden...
Sir, it's heading straight for us.
John A. Warden.
This is General Rico. Come in.
John A. Warden,
this is the L-6 Base.
If you do not change course
immediately,
we will be forced to engage.
Repeat, the L-6 Base
will take defensive action
if you do not change course.
John A. Warden, respond.
Talk to me, Carmen.

[MEN YELLING]
[BUG WHIMPERS]
Aah!
The L-6 Base.
We've got to warn Johnny.

We can't use the beacon.
She has control of the ship.
Yeah?
She doesn't have control of this.
[YELLING]

WOMAN:
General. There's fire on the bridge
of the John A. Warden.
RICO:
Get me a closer look at that ship.
It's Morse code.
They're trying to send us
a message.
Repeat. Bugs in control.
How the hell do bugs
control a starship?
g*dd*mn you, Carl.
Deployment status?
WOMAN:
Sheridan, Ishizuka, and the Franklin
are heading to intercept.
[♪♪♪]
[SHRIEKS]

The Sheridan has taken
catastrophic damage.
The Franklin is critical
but operational.
Franklin, disengage.
Get clear of the John A. Warden.

The John A. Warden's approaching,

Fire!
Sir. We can't fire now.
They're too close.
[♪♪♪]
They missed us, sir.
Yeah. But why?
Commander,
I have the Warden's trajectory.
It's heading straight for the Earth.
RICO:
They never meant to ram us.
We were just in their way.
RICO:
This is General Rico
to Earth Defense Command.
The John A. Warden
is under bug control
and entering Earth's atmosphere.
It's what? The John A. Warden?
Rico, I don't care if John A. Warden
is on that ship himself,
if that ship is infested,
you take it down.
Just give me a chance to do both, sir.
Rescue our men and gain control.
Rico...
Commander, I promise.
A bug invasion will not happen
on my watch, sir.
It better not.
Spaceborne command.
Prepare a drop.
[♪♪♪]
BUGSPRAY:
What now?
Daugherty, you stay here
and protect the captain.
The rest of you, lock and load.
It's time we exterminate that bitch.

She's trying to crash the ship.

I don't know what to do.

Trig, location?
Trig, come in.
Trig, respond.
Where are you? Trig!
TRIG [OVER RADIO]:
Central storage area.
Have you found the queen?
TRIG:
Oh, yeah. This bitch is disgusting.
Take her out.
Done.

COMMANDER:
Rico, you're not a trooper anymore.
Remember that.
RICO:
I'm always a trooper.
And if there are any of our men alive
on that ship,
I'm getting them out.
COMMANDER:
Should've known you'd say that.
k*ll them any way you can.
k*ll them all.
In T-minus 30, we'll send nukes
to sanitize that site.
So be out of there before we hit.
Don't wait for me.
If I'm not out in 30, nuke it.

Do you understand?

We've got 25 minutes

The rest of you

We're gonna k*ll the queen

Good luck.
Don't worry.
You'll see your kids soon.
But those bugs?

ICE BLONDE: Four more.
Heading to k*ll the queen.
And...
Jenkins?
You're still alive?
I can't die yet.
Not until we win this w*r at least.
So, by controlling
the bugs, you...
I can bring us one step closer
to winning the w*r.
And I can get you close enough
to k*ll the queen.
Then let's get moving.

QUEEN [AS DAUGHERTY]:
Let's negotiate.

Surrender Jenkins to us

They fear me.
Maybe they just think
you're an assh*le.

Then, you die!

These are the last ones
I can control directly for now.

If we put the C4
in the main engine,
we can blow up the ship

Whoa.
We might not make it out
in time.
At least they won't.
[SIGHS]
Okay.
Then do it.
Ratzass, watch his back.

Just like I saved you.
