Jim...

- No! Ed!
- Marnie...

Huh?

Jim? Ed?

Keep her safe at all costs!

Get off him!

Jim.

I'm so glad you're here.

Ed!

It's got you...

Ed, forget me!

You and Marnie need to get out of here!

These things are only after Sig!

Take Marnie,
and both of you get out of here!

Please, listen to your old man.

But, Ed!

Move it!

Oh!

Ed!

Ed!

Ed!

- Jim.
- Hang on! I'm coming!

No chance!

Why not? I'll... I know I can save you!

It's too late. I'm done for.

- Save yourself.
- Ed, no!

Go on without me.

- But you...
- I've lived long enough.

Jim. You'll have to promise me
you'll go after your dreams.

No, Ed!
There's no way I'm going without you.

Please! You're the only family I got!

You've made me so proud, son.
The man you've become.

I know you're gonna go on
to do great things.

Mmm... Aah.

The sky is beautiful today.

What? Please don't let go!

Get off this planet.

Always remember,

keep laughing!

Well, would you look at that?

You're still alive.

Captain Bark. What?

What are you doing here?

Status report.

I used to live next door.

I tried to save my family.

I see. But we need reinforcements.

Let's move out.

Mirror!

Sir, I am done following your orders.

Is that so?

Then I'm gonna need you
to return all that equipment.

Including your Robocast.

Huh?

I won't stand by
while you steal our supplies.

Traitors deserve no aid.

Don't you dare f*ck with me, Jim!

You will obey!

I will not.

I have had enough!
I am not your punching bag!

- I see.
- What the hell are you doing?

Don't you see that woman is pregnant?

- Uh...
- Dr. Hadson.

You morons must be
a special kind of stupid,

pulling out a loaded g*n
in front of a pregnant woman.

Marnie, you okay?

Jim, you...

What? Are you deaf or something?
Put your g*ns down!

Time to get out of here.
Call for your ship.

Fine.

Sorry,
but could you get ready?

We can't stay here.

You'll be the one to carry her, right?

- Hmm.
- Good.

Marnie, it's time to go.

I'll take you to a safer place.

Somewhere far away
from all of this danger.

Look at me, please.

I don't care.

Don't say that!

Mom, Connie, and Pete. They're all gone.

What's the point of living

if I'm all alone?

Marnie, the baby is with you.

You don't understand, Jim!
I never wanted to give birth to this baby!

I never wanted to do this.
I only did it to help my family!

I thought I would be able
to endure any misery

if it meant my brother and sister
could get off this godforsaken planet!

We did everything we could
to protect them.

To make sure Connie and Pete
ate the best food we could afford!

That was the whole reason
I became a surrogate.

To protect them!
Not to protect this thing!

It was only for my family.

And now that Connie, Pete,
and my mom are dead,

what's the point of living anymore?

You're wrong.

You have so much to live for.

When that baby comes,
you'll be there to greet it,

and tell them the sky was beautiful today.

Oh, Jim...

I'm sorry. I'm not great with words.

But I would say anything
if it would help take away your pain.

To make you happy.

You think we could do this later?

We need to focus on the situation at hand.

Like that there's nowhere for a ship
to land.

We need to figure out a new plan.

We'll have to climb
out of here on our own.

Seems that way.

It's okay. I can carry you and climb.

We're taking a shortcut
to the rendezvous point.

Hang on tight! Here we go!

Hold on. It's gonna get bumpy!

Walter!

Leave them behind!
You have to save yourself!

Move out!

Huh?

What the hell is he doing?

Okay, jump! Left 15 degrees, 50 up!

Walter!

- Are you f*cking kidding me?
- Gah! Sorry!

You're lucky you made it out alive!

Don't you pull that again.

- Oh, thank God.
- Sorry.

Hey. Uh...

- Thank you.
- Uh, sure.

I thought for sure
I was going to die back there...

I guess what I'm saying
is I'm happy to be alive after all that.

Do you remember...

Yeah, that's right...

Your gramps?

I'm sorry.

Walter Hyams.

I'm Marnie.

Are you far along?

Yeah, almost due.

Congrats! What a surprise.

Are you the dad?

No, she's actually a surrogate.

Oh!

Thank you, Ed.

- Why didn't anyone tell us?
- There were too many of them.

I heard the search and rescue team
at the Sig mines were all wiped out.

We all barely made it out of the Dust Box.

- What are those things?
- ...never go back there...

Every time we sh**t 'em,
they explode, k*lling more of us.

- What's the plan once we get back to base?
- I don't wanna go...

- Do we have to fight again?
- Who knows?

No, I don't want to!

Hey, Jim. Got us a blanket?

No, but I found a coat. Here.

Marnie, this should help.

That's good. Thanks.

Are you sure?
Do you need to shift positions?

No, I'm okay here, just like this.

Okay.

You did great work there.

Thank you.

Uh... can I give you a name?

Casper.

Like it?

That's a good name, Jim.

Glad to have you on the team, Casper!

- Okay.
- What are you doing?

Collecting intel.

From Casper? How are you doing that?

When that m*therf*cker Bark was connected,
I took the liberty of syncing the data.

Really?

- It's already been automatically updated.
- Oh!

All we have to do
is hack his security.

Then we'll have access
to everything from operation plans

to helicopter flight manuals.

I feel pretty good, knowing
I swiped it from that b*stard.

Right...

Walter, Can you find any files
about the creatures?

Hmm.

Operation "Sucker W".

There's an entry from the survey team.

Looks like they discovered
the monsters' fossil-like eggs

in the underground mine about a month ago.

These experts keep using the word "Swarms"
to describe them.

So they knew,
and they left them all there.

Does it say who the "expert" was?

- Hm?
- I saw him on the tram this morning.

I'd never seen
vintage glasses like that before.

Seems that people from Central
definitely have their own sense of style.

I'd say Dust Box folks
aren't so different, really.

Wait...

Chronological dating calculations.

The rescue team's records
were given to the expert.

They came up
with the same conclusion you did.

Their bodies are filled
with combustible gas.

When they're injured, they self-destruct.

Those f*cking nasty b*stards.

So the expl*si*n
at the excavation site

was caused by the Swarms' inner gas
leaking after being shot.

That means
the gunship expl*si*n that saved us

was really the Swarms' self-destruct.

Hmm.

And here's more information.

Apparently, these things can smell Sig.

Make sense. It's their food source.

Doesn't really help us now.

The scent from the rocket must be strong.

So what are they planning next?

The army is prepping
an evacuation shuttle

to send survivors
to a large tanker in orbit.

Hmm.

What are they doing?

They're going to try to revive them?

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Mmm. It's not that. The baby just kicked.

Oh, wow... It kicked?

- Guess I owe you one, huh?
- Uh...

Thank you, Jim.

Glad to have you here.

- Everyone's calling you a hero, you know?
- Huh?

Try not to look surprised. You earned it.

How are you feeling?

There's some pressure...

Okay, let's take a look,
shall we?

Are you the father?

No! Just a friend.

Oh. Well then, maybe we
should give her a little privacy.

- Robert! Do me a favor.
- Hmm?

Hand me your coat,
so we can use it to block the view.

Uh, sure.

- Hmm?
- Where are my manners?

This is my assistant, Robert.

- Not to worry, he's also a doctor.
- Hmm.

I'm James Mirror.

I'm Walter.

Hmph.

I'm Hadson. Now, Jim and Robert.
Privacy, if you wouldn't mind?

- You're a better man than I.
- Huh?

I mean, it's not like it's your kid, Jim.

Uh... right.

I don't think I could do that.

Take care
of someone else's child like that.

You're really somethin'.

I don't think so.

But you're gonna help raise it?
At a time like this?

That's commitment, man.

I...

Hey, wanna take a peek?

After all you've done,
you have a right to look.

- Go on.
- No! It's not right!

All done.

She's all right. The child
is going to be here pretty soon.

We'll have a better idea, though,
once we get to base.

We only have makeshift supplies
here on board,

but there will be
proper medical equipment there.

Right.

She said it's a boy.

I'm still not sure how I feel
about someone else's child

continuing to grow inside of me.

Even if I manage to give birth,

I'll have to give him up
and never see him again.

That is true. But you're looking ahead.

I know you're right.

I should just be grateful
that the baby and I are healthy and safe.

Mmm.

Hey, Jim?

I haven't properly thanked you yet
for what you did.

Thank you so much for saving my life.

Thank me when we're off this planet.

Question. Would you draw me?

Hmm?

I just thought it would be nice

to have a picture of myself pregnant,

before it's over.

Oh.

What an honor, Jim. What about now?

Uh... Mmm...

I gotta use the bathroom.

I'll be right back.

Sure. Not a problem.

Huh?

Heard you risked your life out there
for the doctor.

Huh?

I heard the whole Dust Box was collapsing
around you and you didn't care.

Where did you hear that?

Captain Bark's squad is telling everyone.

You're a real hero.

Way I hear it, that rescue
was nothing short of a miracle.

Uh, no.
I was just doing the right thing.

Gotta give it to the kid, he's good.

I know it was right,
but what a thing to do!

- On behalf of our whole squad, thank you.
- Seriously...

- That was pretty amazing...
- We need more men like you.

I have to go to the bathroom!

I'm so pathetic.
