Previously, on "The Last Ship".

Eighty percent of the world's
population is infected.

We're looking at a complete
break-down of the Earth's biosphere..

Americans, we will no longer
cower in fear of your big stick.

This is a full-scale invasion
of the United States.

You are haunted, or maybe hunted.

This is what w*r has done to you.

Captain Nathan James
said, "w*r is a beast."

Which beast is it for you, Admiral?

SASHA: I listened to the tape.

The sonar.

The battleship you said you heard.

It wasn't there.

You played the tape back?

I had to understand how you got

the classification so wrong.

But there was nothing,

and when a ship did show up,

it was in an entirely
different class...

smaller.

Sonar could barely hear it.

So, what...

I made it up?

[SIGHS]

Tom, you said yourself

you've been seeing and hearing
that ship in your dreams.

It's been haunting you,

and the way you've been acting lately,

the risks you've been taking,

it's like you're courting
your own death.

I heard it, Sasha.

I'm worried about you, Tom.
