04x09 - Till Death Do Us Part

[bunniefuu]

They’re going to break us.

[Whistle blows]

We'll come back for her.

Previously on Falling Skies...

She's paralyzed.

Take my spikes. Put them in Maggie.

If your dad's under there, we're gonna find him

It's the crashed Beamer.

Cochise must have nailed it.

'Cause the way out is up.

I think we just pulled the pin on a grenade.

Matt?!

I told you he'd make it.

What the hell is that?

It's about the moonlight.

Cochise: It cannot be that simple.

Weaver: You saw these lights come on?

Yeah, when these solar panels were exposed to the Moon, which I guess makes them lunar panels.

Hey, you remember in the camp, when we figured out that the laser wall was powered by the dirigible? Right.

I think the same principle is at play here, except on a much bigger scale.

I think the Espheni are powering all their tech off the same power source.

Moonlight? No.

A form of energy beamed from the Moon.

Wireless electricity.

Tesla thought it was possible.

The Espheni must have finally perfected it.

And it suggests that the Espheni power core, which our Volm recon teams have found so difficult to locate here on earth, was never on earth in the first place.

It was just... over our heads.

Ex coch'El richt! Fush mach!

Fush mach!

Hey, Cochise, don't b*at yourself up so badly.

[ Inhales sharply ]

I need to be alone for a moment.

[ Sighs ]

So, why do you think they built the power source on the Moon?

[ Sighs ]

The only reason you would beam power from orbit is if --

You wanted to have a vantage point to power the entire planet.

Anne: So, the power core on the Moon supports every laser wall on every ghetto?

All over the world.

Everything else -- every skitter factory, every nightmare that we haven't even imagined yet.

It powers the entire Espheni w*r machine.

Well, then I don't see that we have many options.

We're gonna have to figure out a way to get up there, blow that son of a bitch up.

It's on the Moon.

Anne: [ Chuckles ]

[ Mumbles ]

You heard that part, right?

Yes! Hal: [ Laughs ]

And I know that look you're giving me, Dan.

And I know that smile.

I've seen it when you've tried to talk some crazy bastard from jumping off of a ledge.

Well, guess what. Today the crazy bastard is me.

All right. Let's, uh -- let's talk this thing through.

Firstly, how do we gain access to it?

I don't know. Okay.

And I'm pretty sure that if we do unearth it, it's gonna be a little b*at-up. I don't know.

And, hey, if we find that "on" switch, maybe we can...

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Stop saying that!

[ As President Kennedy ]

We choose to go to the Moon not because it's easy but because it's hard.

Okay, so, this is funny? This is funny to you?

[ Normal voice ] Hang on. Let me finish the speech.

Because, believe it or not, the first time that I heard that speech, I was crazy enough to think that JFK was actually talking to me.

'Cause that is a challenge that we are willing to accept -- one that we are unwilling to postpone and one which we intend to win.

Okay, Tom, we cannot fly to the Moon.

W-well, we wouldn't necessarily have to fly to the Moon.

Cochise?

Just play it a little hypothetical with me.

If the power core is on the Moon, wouldn't it follow the Espheni have some kind of base up there?

In all likelihood, yes.

Okay, well, since we know that Beamers are controlled remotely, if we can figure out a way to set the Moon base as a destination, wouldn't all we need to do is hitch a ride?

I cannot believe I am saying this, but it is not as crazy as it sounds.

You're right. It's crazier.

I honestly don't see any other alternative.

I mean, think about it.

You... Close down a skitter factory, liberate a camp.

What then -- we move on to the next one and we save the world one bloodbath at a time?!

I don't think so!

We got to shut them all down at the same time, at the source.

That's the only way.

Well... We do have a Beamer.

A buried Beamer.

So, let's unbury it.

♪ Falling Skies 4x09 ♪

Til Death Do Us Part

Original Air Date on August 17, 2014

Think you're about full.

Ah, nothing like working all day and barely making a dent.

The Espheni blew up the whole town.

It's gonna take some time to clean it up.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Like I just went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson and he was using brass knuckles and knives and a steamroller.

At least he didn't bite your ear off.

What are you doing up? You ought to be resting.

You just had an alien-spike transplant.

Yeah, and now I've got alien DNA

coursing through my veins and my muscles.

It hurts.

I can't concentrate. I can't sit still.

I got to do something.

[ Groans, sighs ]

Want to move some rubble?

Yeah, more than anything in the world.

You're like a machine.

Hey, I just want to say, I know how you feel about all this.

And I want to thank you for your support.

[ Sighs ]

I'm not supporting you.

I'm still thinking you're nuts.

Oh.

But as long as you've got everyone buying into your latest brand of crazy, I'm not gonna rain on their parade.

Lord knows, they don't have anything else to hope for.

So, until they come to their senses, I'm supporting them.

You sure that that's what this is about.

[ Sighs ]

I don't know what you mean.

Come on, Anne, I'm talking about Lexi.

Listen, a lot's happened -- stuff that we shouldn't blame each other about, stuff that we shouldn't be keeping to ourselves.

I disagree.

I think there are some things that are uniquely suited to keeping to ourselves.

[ Sighs ] This Beamer's not gonna dig itself out.

Weaver: Sure could use some more help out here.

Where's Dingaan?

[ Sighs ]

He's down there with Shaq, trying to assess the Beamer controls, which is difficult because the parts they need are still buried.

Well, they should get their asses out of that toasty-warm Beamer and get to work helping us unbury it.

That scorched overlord isn't gonna be gone long.

Sooner or later, he's gonna figure out some of us survived, and he's gonna be right back here.

We're gonna dig around the clock. I promise.

Even if we do, it's gonna take us weeks.

I have a possible solution.

There is... a concealed Volm supply cache several miles from here.

What are you talking about, Volm supply cache?

We studied your pioneer and native American wars closely.

Hidden supply stockpiles proved to be a vital resource for both sides.

This cache should contain tools with advanced technology that could be used to break up this earth and clear it away more quickly.

What? Like a Volm backhoe?

Concussion ordnances capable of sh**ting sound waves deep into the earth, turning boulders into sand, which should expedite this process immeasurably.

Why are we just hearing about this now?

Espheni forces stood between this camp and the supply cache until their recent att*ck.

They have now scaled back their reconnaissance in this area, but the risk is minimal.

[ Chuckles ] Right.

Is it stuck? Oh, I got it.

Here. Give me a second.

No, let me help. All right.

It's stuck on the rebar.

All right.

All right, you ready? Yeah.

On 3. 1...2...3.

[ Grunts ]

Aah!

Whoa.

Who did that?! Mother-- ugh! Ohh! You okay?

No! I fell on my wrist!

[ Groans, inhales sharply ]

All right, look, you're -- you're fine, all right?

Thanks for the sympathy.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, is she okay?

No, she's not okay!

What the hell was all that about, man?

Let's go make sure she's all right. No, no, no, don't.

Keep your skitter-neck girlfriend away from everybody!

It's bad enough we got Espheni trying to k*ll us.

Don't worry about him.

He's right. I'm a disaster.

Everything hurts. I can't think straight.

Are you okay?

No, I feel like I'm operating new machinery, nobody gave me the instruction manual, and I should just stay away from everybody.

No, I -- I've been through this before.

I can help you -- get used to your senses, learn how to control your strength.

Yeah, if you could do that, that would be great.

Maybe you ought to take him up on it.

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, go on.

Anne.

What are you doing?

Weaver told me about the Volm supply cache, and I could use some change of scenery.

Wow, you really blame me, don't you?

You think I persuaded Lexi to switch sides and m*rder Lourdes in cold blood?

You think that was my idea?

[ Chuckles ] No.

But I think you're more than willing to try anything else, no matter how crazy, no matter how reckless.

And you know what?

I do not want to get into this with you.

You know what? Maybe you should blame me.

Because when Ben came and told us about Lexi and said that there was no trail to follow, maybe I was looking for a reason to move on so that our family drama didn't wreak havoc on everybody and everything for once!

But I can't discuss that with you.

You think that's something new, Tom?

You reach a conclusion, and it's like the rest of the world is automatically on board!

Guilty as charged -- I don't think that every problem has to have a Democratic solution, but what's happening right now is that you're upset.

And instead of talking to me about it, you're gonna bottle that up and live in denial.

I am not living in denial, Tom.

This -- this is me.

This is me that's been on the road, surviving.

This is the me who spent months searching for our daughter, and I didn't have a trail to follow.

That was a little different!

You didn't know what she had become!

For all you knew, she was just a little girl in trouble and probably the only family you had left!

It is more than that.

I believe, and what is pissing me off about this situation is I don't understand why -- why don't you believe? Because I can't afford to.

You get to have faith. I have to be the realist!

I'm the one that has to weigh everything and measure everything...

Even in situations where my heart is breaking just as much as yours.

We don't know what we don't know.

Maybe Lexi will come back. Maybe she's not too far gone.

Maybe -- I don't know -- in some unimaginable way, everything that happened needed to happen so that things work out the way they're supposed to.

I don't know.

I thought you said you couldn't afford to have faith.

I don't. I can't. I have hope.

There's a difference. Faith is your department.

That's why I have you. That's why I need you.

You're right.

Let's just stick to what we do.

I'll k*ll skitters. I'll patch people up.

You'll [Sighs] fly to the Moon.

[ Sniffles ]

And if we both survive, we'll just --

[ chuckles ] We'll just figure out the rest.

Deal?

Deal.

[ Sighs ]

Quite the melodrama back there.

Stomping off, all in a huff.

You raiding the, uh, icebox here, huh?

Yeah, I'm trying to find something for my wrist.

It hurts like hell.

[ Pills rattling ]

Vicodin. I thought you said you gave this stuff up.

I am. So, what -- you chip a nail, and you've fallen off the wagon again?

Is that it? I'll tell you, you got one hell of a commitment to sobriety, sweetheart.

Okay, you might want to shut up right about now.

Maybe you should think twice before you go on giving these big public speeches about the old Sarah and the new Sarah and how you're off all this crap.

'Cause you know what? I actually believed you.

What an idiot, huh?

[ Pills rattle ]

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Matt's turned into quite the soldier -- hiking for hours, low rations, no complaints.

Are you sure it was a good idea to bring him?

Cochise said it was low-risk.

It's got to be safer than that reclamation project.

There's enough sprained ankles and cuts to last a lifetime there.

[ Coughing ]

What's that smell?

I think it's chlorine.

There are lethal patches of toxicity throughout this area.

Matthew, if you'll open your duffel bag.

Uh, sure.

You'll all need to put one of these on.

Oh, lovely.

[ Coughs ]

Weaver: Any particular reason you decided to hide your stash in a toxic dump?

The toxicity is an effective deterrent to scavengers.

We Volm can breathe chlorine.

The cache is buried 4 feet below this cistern.

Tom: I assume you have a way to access it.

Matt!

Mira?

[ Breathing heavily ]

Hey!

Are you okay?

Hang in there.

[ Gasping ]

She gonna be okay?

I can breathe.

You'll be all right over here, away from that crap.

What are you doing out here?

I finally got out. I did it, Matt. I escaped.

Anne: Matt told us a lot about you.

Sounds like you guys looked out for each other at that camp.

Matt kept me alive.

I was afraid I'd never get out of there.

Yeah, how did you?

I did just what you told me to.

I pretended to go along with them until they let me graduate.

What was that like?

Oh, man, it was so weird.

Team leader Kent taught me all these things, like how to find refugees, escapees, militias, how to get them to trust you, how to raise the alarm.

Wait. W-what does that mean, raise the alarm?

There was this whistle that we were supposed to blow if we found any outsiders.

They especially wanted us to track down family members -- people that would trust us.

The whistle calls a Beamer strike.

Anne: And then the skitters come?

No, team leaders from the youth camp I was held in.

They capture the dissidents and take them back to the Espheni.

Where's your whistle?

I-I threw it in the river as soon as I left.

I didn't want any part of that thing.

I'm so glad you found me.

Pretty lucky. I was hiding in the woods, watching the road for someone who would take me with them.

And then you all came along, and I thought I saw Matt, but I figured it was just wishful thinking.

So, you just happened to come across us?

At a Volm weapons cache.

Yeah, I had no idea.

Please, you have to believe me.

Mira, what I have to do is keep everybody safe. Stand up.

Matt: Dad, what are you doing?

Dad, she's my friend! I know.

I hope that's true, Matt, but I'm not gonna take any chances.

Can't just leave her here! We're not gonna leave her here.

She's gonna rest here while we do what we came to do.

[ Clattering ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Sighs ]

Are these tubes or tentacles?

Espheni technology mimics a musculoskeletal system.

The cords are connected, and their movement is coordinated.

So, if I pull on... This cord...

[ Whirring ]

Something moved. I heard something.

Try another.

[ Whirring ]

[ Sighs ]

That came from over here.

These two are connected.

[ Grunts ] We have to get inside these walls and map the connections between the cords, create a diagnostic showing which cords control which movements.

Which we can't get to until the Beamer has been unearthed.

[ Grunts, chuckles ]

You really think those concussion ordnances can do the trick?

Hmm.

[ Chuckles ]

Okay, I'll take that as a yes.

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Ringing ]

Sarah: [ Distorted ] Why are you following me?!

Pope: [ Distorted ] Because nobody walks away from me!

[ Chuckling ] Oh, God. Think much of yourself, Pope?

What do you care?! Do you want me to be in pain?! [ Grunting ]

Is that it?! Right now?! Yes!

Think this used to be a museum. You know what? Just -- just leave me alone.

Shut up, already!

What?

No, not you.

I can hear Pope and Sarah's conversation, and Pope's being a jerk.

Sarah's voice is a really shrill voice.

You'll get used to that.

Do you listen to everyone's conversations all the time?

No, not anymore. You, um... You learn to tune things out.

Sarah: You know what? Get lost!

God, I want them out of my head!

Focus on something else. Come here.

It's okay. Come on. We could easily make this jump.

No, no, uh, I don't want to.

It's a piece of cake. Come on. I'll show you.

Ben, just leave me alone, all right?

Back off.

It's okay. I -- I know it feels weird.

No, it doesn't feel weird. It feels invasive.

Like something's crawling inside of me, taking me over, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Maggie, I promise, one day, you're gonna love your new powers.

You're gonna be stronger and more badass than ever.

That sounds pretty sweet.

It is. Trust me?

3...2...1.

[ Both chuckling ]

You okay?

My hands are k*lling me.

Well, I can't untie you.

I understand.

I missed you so much.

I missed you, too.

[ Grunting ]

Do they really hurt?

The rope is cutting into me.

He tied it too tight.

[ Sighs ]

I know I'm gonna regret this.

Don't be silly.

Thank you, Matt... Really.

Here.

[ Grunts ]

You know, it was really hard in the camp after you left.

W-well, I wanted to make you come with us, but...

I know. But you know what?

I'm actually glad I didn't.

I learned so much.

What do you mean?

We were wrong about everything.

You really should have stayed.

[ Whistle blowing ]

No!

No, seriously, that's the most amazing I've ever felt.

I don't know how you're not jumping off of roofs all the time.

I'd be up there every chance I got.

Well, uh... I kind of was, in the beginning.

I mean, I'd sneak out at night and jump or run faster than I've ever run before in my life, almost like I was in a race, except, I guess, it was only a race with myself.

Eventually, I realized I was freaking people out, so I brought it down to a need-to-jump basis, you know?

I think I'm gonna need to jump a lot.

We can jump together.

We'll just warn everybody first.

Deal.

How are you feeling?

Like, great, amazing.

I mean, your pain from the transplant.

Is it still there?

No. It's gone.

I'm just realizing it's gone.

The spikes are starting to understand that they're part of you.

Wait. You make it seem like they've got a mind of their own.

They do.

This isn't just physical strength.

There's an alien life-form fusing with your human DNA.

It -- it wants to control all of you.

It wants?

Yes, it has feelings, desires stronger than anything you've ever felt.

So, I'm gonna be really, really mad sometimes?

And really, really hungry.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, no.

And curious and afraid and... sometimes really, really... in love.

And... When you're happy, you're ecstatic.

Sometimes I think about life before the invasion.

We were back in Boston, sitting in my room, reading a book.

And I feel so happy, I can't stop smiling.

But then...

What?

I think about my mom -- losing my mom.

It works both ways.

[ Humming ]

I can feel your sadness like... like it's mine.

That's new.

Um...

I guess we're just gonna have to get used to that, too.

You have to be careful, from now on, that...

[ Sniffs ] It's easy to get overwhelmed and lose yourself until... you learn to control your power.

All right.

How do I do that?

Use it.

[ Sniffs ]

Ready to have some fun?

[ Grunting ]

Good! Weapons.

We'll take them.

[ Grunting ]

Outstanding.

Now, be very careful with this.

What is it?

Subspace communicator.

Highly tuned to all manner of Espheni communications.

This will enhance our ability to cut through enemy firewalls to contact Volm reinforcements light-years away.

You break it, you buy it.

What about the concussion ordnance?

Wasn't that the main reason for our joyride here?

Dad! Dad!

I thought I told you to leave her back there!

I shouldn't have untied her! But her hands hurt.

She had this in her shoe, and she blew it!

You want to explain yourself?!

[ Breathing heavily ]

No. Let me forgive you, Tom Mason.

Oh, God, she's on their side.

We need to get the hell out of here.

Everybody take cover! This way!

Mira! Mira!

I haven't located the concussion ordnance yet.

Let's go!

You got something to say to me?

Not particularly, no.

No? Really, not -- not a word to say?

Are you honestly gonna stand there, debating me on what I haven't even said yet?

[ Scoffs ]

Unbelievable.

No, you know what's unbelievable?

What's unbelievable is that you never have to wonder what a person's really like -- I mean really like, on the inside -- 'cause the more you hang out with them, the more you get to know them, when they reveal themselves, they'll show you exactly who they are.

Do you mind?

Just so I understand this thunderous revelation of yours, what exactly do you think that I told you I was?

You're an addict.

That means you're weak... And you're a liar.

Now, I'm not the one to judge, but... this isn't my first rodeo.

I know addicts, and I am not gonna be the one that you use and you lie to and then move along.

So bye-bye.

In what way did I use you?

Tell me! In what way did I use you?!

I was fine before I met you!

I-I'd never been att*cked by skitters!

I had never k*lled anything!

But I fought with you, side by side, risking my life for you!

And you see me with one pill bottle in my hand, and your go-to response is that I am a liar and a user?!

You know what I think? I think you're afraid.

[ Laughs ]

I think you're afraid of what we might be.

Spare me the analysis. I'm not interested.

Obviously not.

You know what's in this bottle?

Vicodin!

Aspirin.

The labels got mixed up when everything went to crap.

You do actually have to look to know what's inside.

[ Pills rattle ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Matt! Matt!

Have you seen Matt? I think he went that way!

It's the team leaders from the youth camp!

Go, Joe, go! Go!

[ Machine-g*n fire ]

Mira... Help me.

It's too late for that.

[ Groans ]

[ g*nsh*t ]

This one isn't going anywhere. Get him!

[ Machine-g*n fire ]

Matt: Mira, help me.

[ Groaning ]

Cochise!

[ Breathing heavily ]

That stun should hold them for a few hours.

I can't see in this thing!

The air's okay here! You can take it off.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I'm empty. You all right?

I got nothing left. Yeah, I'm fine.

We need to find better cover than this.

Aah! Anne!

Ohh! You all right?

Ugh! I'm okay!

Ugh. Stay where you are!

[ Groaning ]

Kent: Tom Mason, this is team leader Kent Matthews.

We have your son, Matt!

He is subdued!

He's being collected right now!

We don't want to hurt you, Tom!

We're here to take you to safety!

The w*r is over.

Our Espheni brothers want to welcome us into their society!

Please, come with us, Tom.

[ g*n clicking ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

You're out of b*ll*ts, Tom.

Now it's just a matter of time!

Come out! I won't att*ck!

Truce!

Those fumes are toxic, Tom!

That container could explode at any moment!

You better come out!

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunting ]

Hey, wait!

Anne?

Hey, wait!

Ugh!

[ Gasping ]

How could you do this to your own people?

Progress is made when we embrace our Espheni brothers.

[ Gasping ]

I'm not a traitor. I'm a new patriot.

[ Gasping ]

Tom...

I gave them... my mother.

[ Gasping ]

Here you are. Here you are.

Here he is. Hey.

Dad.

[ Grunting ]

You decided to stay?

What are you talking about?

[ Grunts ]

I figured you were going with Sarah.

She came by a few hours ago, picked up a r*fle, a couple days' rations.

How?

She said she knew of a nearby farm where there might be some food.

I just assumed you were going with her.

Okay, let's see what you can do.

Bull's-eye.

Keep going. Plenty more where that came from.

How do you like me now?

[ Breathing heavily ]

I like you too much.

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Oh, I'm so sorry. No.

I shouldn't have done that.

I'm glad you did, but...

Hal. Yeah.

Oh, my God, am I going crazy?

I...

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

Since I woke up with the spikes, I feel, uh, like I'm drawn to you.

Yeah, and you didn't before?

No, I love -- I love Hal.

[ Breathing heavily ]

This, um... This feels different.

God, this is so intense.

I, um...

[ Breathing heavily ]

I really want to kiss you right now.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Don't.

I know. I know.

I know.

Oh, God.

Looks like we're in the clear... for the time being.

I owe you all an apology.

I misled you, put you at unnecessary risk, and we did not even retrieve the essential item we came for.

[ Sighs ] We'll just have to dig a little harder when we get back, Cochise.

How are you doing?

It hurts...

Like a thousand needles sticking into me.

Bet it does.

Sorry about being such an idiot about Mira.

You're 13.

Puppy love is not easy, especially when it's life-and-death.

It's not puppy love, Dad.

[ Sighs ]

I'd tell you to forget about her, but I doubt you could.

Strange as it sounds, you should try to remember the feeling you had for her.

The feeling is important.

Why?

'Cause it's pretty rare in life when you meet somebody who cares about you as much as you do about them.

Hey.

Hey, how did things go with Maggie?

Fine. Good.

Hey, hey.

Those, uh -- those spikes of yours -- they help you heal quickly, right?

Yeah. Good.

Ugh! Oh, oh!

You were supposed to help Maggie adjust to her spikes.

Doesn't mean it's open season on my girlfriend.

Hal, I would never -- You know what, Ben?

Just save it, okay? Because I saw you.

And, look, I get it.

She's gorgeous. She's amazing. But she's mine.

I'm sorry.

I didn't see your leash on her.

[ Scoffs ]

Just stay away from her.

[ Sighs ]

Hey, everybody.

I was starting to worry about you guys.

We ran into a little trouble. We made it out.

Ben: Dad!

Everything go okay?

What happened to your face?

Nothing.

Okay.

Dingaan.

Ah. How goes the alien small-engine repair?

[ Scoffs ]

Not great.

The rubble prevents us getting to the necessary controls.

Were you able to bring back that tool to help us raise the Beamer?

No, we got ambushed.

The cache was destroyed.

Back to square one, but it wouldn't be the first time.

Let's get these weapons and supplies stowed before we get some shut-eye.

I did find this.

Supposedly, this can call Beamers.

I don't know if it's a tone or a frequency.

See what you can do with it. Be careful.

Do not blow that.

I'll take it to Shaq right away. Coming?

Yeah.

Now...

Anything you boys need to tell me?

No.

Okay.

So, let me see if I remember this correctly.

We were surrounded.

[ Sighs ]

Situation sucked, and only one way out, and that's for one of us to be dead -- me.

One has to be smart and stay alive -- you.

Those are the basic rules of engagement.

Used to teach a course on it at Bunker Hill Community College.

Oh, give me a break.

But instead of doing the smart thing, you...

If my memory serves, ran out without a w*apon, without a plan, and yelled -- what was it, again? -- "Hey, wait"?

I didn't know what else to say.

"Hey, wait"? That was your big master kamikaze plan?

"Hey, wait, look over here!

Hey, wait, don't sh**t him! sh**t me!"

I thought you were going to die.

I know.

I probably would have done the same dumbass thing if you were the one getting sh*t.

But I've been thinking.

Maybe there's a reason the b*ll*ts missed you.

When you said to me, "if we survive this, we'll figure out the rest,"

that was very hard for me to hear, because I don't really know what "the rest" means, but... then I realized I don't really care.

Whether it's a long time or a short time, I just want to spend it with you... if you'll have me.

That sounds like --

It is.

My God.

I'm not saying it's gonna be easy.

[ Sighs ]

But will you marry me?

Yes.

[ Chuckles ]

Wait.

How do we know we're doing the right thing?

We don't. We don't.

But I have hope.

Yes.

[ Chuckling ] Yes.

[ Grunting ]

Hmm.

I promise to always have your back in a firefight, and I promise to try not to get k*lled.

I promise to do the same.

So, Anne... Do you take this man...

For better, for worse...

[ Clears throat ]

...for richer, for poorer.... till death do you part?

[ Sighs ]

Yeah. I do.

I do, too.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, you may kiss the bride.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clears throat ]

Tom Mason... I must speak with you.

For God's sake, we're having a wedding here!

You may resume your ritual after I speak to Tom Mason about the Beamer.

[ Sighs ]

The Beamer is important.

Congratulations.

[ Crowd murmuring ]

So, why the hell did you interrupt?!

Shaq: I have been deconstructing the Espheni whistle you brought back.

You are correct.

It communicates directly with the Beamer...

Engaging the engine.

Okay, what else can it do?

[ Beeping ]

Can it access the homing beacon on the Moon?

A different signal is required to direct the Beamer to a certain location... But --

But he's saying it's one hell of a start, you crazy son of a bitch.

I was able to isolate the homing amplitude of the whistle.

It is an ultrasonic frequency that humans can't hear and human tech wouldn't know to look for.

I've captured the signal within this communicator.

Okay. How does it help us?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whistle blows ]

[ Rumbling ]

Whoa, whoa.

Stand back!

Back!

[ Rumbling continues ]

[ Beamer whirring ]

[ Laughs ]

I guess that's how.

We choose to go to the Moon.
