01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

[Ed] Jim.

Mmph. Mmm.

[murmur of voices]

[footsteps approaching]

Hi, there.

Hmm?

Mmm?

[groaning exaggeratedly]

[gasps]

- Mama!
- Oh...

- [girl crying] Mama!
- [Ed] No! Oh, sh**t.

It... it's okay!

- [sobbing]
- Uh...

Hmm?

[chuckles]

[whimpers]

[both laugh]

- Hmm...
- [girl laughing]

[Ed] It's always gray out there, Jim.

That's why...

[groans]

[growls]

- [gasps]
- [Walter] Careful!

- [groans]
- [Walter] What did I just say?

You all right?

[Jim] What do you mean, am I all right?

[grunting]

Oh, I remember... now.

[Walter] You okay?

b*stard shot a m*ssile at us.

- Damn near brought the whole place down.
- Yeah...

[Walter] Yeah, you'll be fine.

I woke up in the same situation.
But I got out.

- Thanks to that junk.
- [clattering]

[scoffs] Are you able to move at all?

- Hey?
- [whimpering]

- What's wrong?
- [gulping]

[weakly] Sorry.

- So you are injured, then?
- [sniffles]

It... This is all my fault.

[sobbing] I let them all die.

[Walter sighs] I see.

Jeez. [sighs]

Well, can you try and move at all?

- Huh?
- Sorry.

But I'm gonna need
that suit you're wearing.

It'll be easier if the contents aren't
damaged. But I'll take it either way.

Making sense, right, Jim?

[sighs]

[Walter] Shift over.
I'm gonna use this beam as leverage,

and all you need to do is slide out.

[straining]

[groaning]

- [suit whirring]
- Go, Jim!

[Jim groaning]

[metal grinding]

- [Jim gasps]
- [metal creaking]

[both yell]

[both groan]

Oh!

Oh. Ah.

[breathing heavily] Hmm.

[gasps]

[yells]

[yelps]

Wait. Huh?

[squelching and squeaking]

Hmm.

[growls]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[Walter and Jim yell]

- What the hell?
- Do you think it's dead?

Where'd it... come from?

[gasps]

Sig ore.

It makes sense now.
It went after the equipment.

Didn't you think something was up?

It ignored you,
and you were right in front of it.

But... I'm the one wearing an exosuit.

Huh? Come on! Can I even get a thank you?

Wow, seriously? How about "Thank you"?

Why did he risk his life for me?

[Walter] Who knows?

I wasn't able to save any of them.

[Walter] Who exactly
were you supposed to be saving?

Huh?

Everyone here!

It's too late for that now, Jim.

What matters is what you do next.

That's how we can honor the dead.

[crying]

Okay, boss.

You making fun of me?

Surprised I know the slang?
I grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood.

- [clang]
- [Walter] Aah!

What's that thing?

It's a Robocast.
Every escort unit carries one.

[Walter] So that's it, huh?

[Jim] I'm only guessing here, but I think
this is what those things are after.

I noticed all the equipment
they sh*t out was missing its Sig.

They attacked the humans but...
none of them were eaten.

[bleep]

[Walter] You're saying
since I didn't have any Sig on me...

Exactly. That thing must have
been able to smell the Sig.

That's why it went after me.

- [chiming]
- [Walter] Hm.

- Looks like it still works.
- Mm-hmm.

I'll turn on the power saver.

It's a miracle
that the blast didn't destroy it.

This thing is the perfect partner,
gathering intel and acting as a weapon.

[Walter] I don't care
about its fancy features.

As long as it can get us
out of this f*cking prison, I'm happy.

Yeah, same here.

Hmm.

[Jim] We're here. But there's an issue.

We have no ship.
So that's our first problem.

[Walter] There's the heliport
on the first floor?

[Jim] No guarantee
there'll be any ships left.

[Walter] Guess you better pray
for a second miracle.

- [footsteps]
- [Jim] I guess so...

Walter?

Not like the dead are using any of it.

Besides, we don't know what we'll need.

You're right.

[suit whirring]

[gasps]

[Hicks groaning]

[retches]

[Ed] Jim.

[retching]

[sighs]

I need to borrow this. Forgive me.

[gasps]

Huh?

Um, what?

Uh, um... I, uh... found extra underwear.

Okay, boss...

[whirring]

If you have any hope of staying alive,

it is imperative
you listen to me carefully.

If you want to survive here, there are
only two rules you need to follow.

First, you must excavate the mines daily.

Second, obey all orders from he guards.

So, you will contribute to Coldfoot

and atone for the crimes
you have committed.

[wind whistling]

[Walter] So dying in a pile of sh*t
is "atoning for our crimes"?

[Jim] Yeah, such wise words.

[Walter] f*ck her wise words.

[Jim] That doesn't matter anymore.
That life is over.

[Walter] They're gonna eat through
this whole place in a matter of days.

[Jim] At least
they're not trying to eat us.

[Walter] Yeah, we're just a bonus.

It's greedy f*ck like her
who didn't give a damn who got hurt.

Just kept on digging deeper..

[Jim] Let's go.

[Walter] After we loot the prison cells.

[Jim] What? The cells?

You might have grown up knowing our slang,

but it's clear you weren't raised
by a criminal.

[grunts]

Ta-da!

- Whoa!
- [chuckles]

[whirring]

[bleeping]

Goodbye, shoddy sh*thole.

Jim, which way are we going?

Jim?

I don't wanna see this place again.

So we're agreed. Let's go already.

We're just gonna leave these things here
to eat and sh*t out everything in sight?

And what do you suggest we do about it?

[Jim] You have to drop me off
at the excavator.

[Walter] Huh? You can't be serious.
Are you crazy?

Well, yeah. I could be, I guess.

I am not going to run away from this.

We have to try to destroy the Swarm.

So you're gonna k*ll us
in the process of k*lling those things?

[Jim] No. They'll k*ll themselves.

Aah. You got an idea for that?

[Jim] I do. But I'm gonna need your help.

[sighs] It always seems to be
the quiet ones who snap, isn't it?

- Shoulda known from that look.
- What look?

See for yourself in the mirror.

Hmm. You're right.

I must be angry.

I would be concerned if you weren't angry.

If you're looking to dish out
a little payback, I'm in.

Let's go.

[machine powering up]

First, hit 'em with sound.

[clanking and grinding]

Next, rocks.

Finally, Sig scent.

Come on, come on...

Yes!

[Sarah] Don't worry. It's no different
from the one you're used to holding.

[yelling]

[squealing]

- [Hicks] What's with the long face, Jimbo?
- Aah!

[yelling]

Yaah!

[bleep]

[grunts and groans]

[crashing]

We did it.

We did it!

[Sarah] You really call that a salute?

[Hicks] God, why is this always
a problem with virgins?

[Walter] You did it, Jim!

[Jim chuckles] Yeah!

Great idea, blowing those
little f*ck up! Genius!

Couldn't have done it without you
and your perfect timing.

- That's right.
- [bleeps]

Didn't forget you. You did great!

- Huh?
- [chiming]

[alarm beeping]

[gasps]

Walter! Get outta there!

Hm? What's that?

I said we gotta move!

That gas is expl*sive!

[gasps]

- [Walter] That was a close one.
- [Jim] Yeah.

The gas those things secrete
is pretty combustible.

Hence the big expl*si*n.
Guess I got carried away.

[Walter] Doesn't matter.
It all worked out in the end.

You ask me, those things got
what was coming to 'em.

We buried their asses like they did to us.

[Jim] This time, maybe...

But we can k*ll them now.

We just need to damage them enough
to ignite the gas inside them.

That would explain what happened
when the gunship exploded.

Or when you shot it with the flare g*n.

- What are you getting at?
- They're like living dynamite.

So it was all the sparks from digging
that set the first expl*si*n off?

[Jim] Yeah.

[Walter] Good job picking up on that.

Thanks.

You did good too. Appreciate you.

[chirping]

So where to?
We can make it to the spaceport.

No.

[Ed] It's always gray out there, Jim.

[Jim] There's somewhere I need to go.

[Walter] Yeah? Where's that?

[Ed] That's why you should
paint it whatever color you want.

[Jim] Head to the Dust Box.

[Walter] Dust Box?

It's the town where I'm from.
I need to check on my grandpa.

And this girl, Marnie.
I need to make sure she's okay.

I see! Your grandpa and your girlfriend.

Walter! What's going on?
We're losing altitude!

Any higher and the wind'll be
too strong to steer through.

I'm using the exosuit as much as I can!

Just hang on! [growls]

Check it out, Jim!
Those things left a trail.

They must have come this way
after White Prison.

Yeah.

Can't tell how many, but I bet my life
we run into 'em up ahead.

Ed. Marnie!

- [buzz of voices]
- All right, everyone, let's keep going!

- Single file!
- Only bring the essentials.

Be sure all children and seniors
are accompanied by a guardian!!

[man] What are those things?

[crying] Mommy! Mommy!

[screaming]

[g*nf*re]

[screaming]

I don't think we have much time.

Hide in the smoke
and get as close as you can.

Use the red-light district heliport.

Don't suppose you know a shortcut?

Don't worry.
I'll be in and out as fast as I can.

[grunts]

I'll sh**t up a flare as soon
as I find them. Be ready for us!

Yeah. Just hurry.
Don't think we have a lot of time.

Okay. Be careful.

Yeah, you too.

Let's go.

Excuse me. Sorry!

[man] Hey! Get the hell out of the way!

I'm sorry! I'm looking for my family!

- Huh?
- Have you seen them?

[sighs] No, haven't seen 'em.

Thank you. Um, excuse me!

[woman] Excuse me...

[man] ...so much easier if I could just...

[panting]

[klaxon blaring]

[whirring]

[crash]

[gasping]

[wheezing] It... hurts...

[man coughing and groaning]

[Jim gasps]

[soldier] This way to the escort ships!

Bring 'em this way!

[Jim] This man needs help!

He breathed in the toxic gas. Mask him!

[wheezing]

First aid! Over here!

Hey, you.
We need your help over on A block.

- Uh, no. I'm not here on duty.
- What's that?

I'm here looking for my family.
Not a soldier.

Where did you get that uniform?

I work part-time as a guard.

ID card?

How 'bout you focus?
Your job is to rescue people!

- The outer wall's been breached!
- Huh?

Anyone without a mask
will be exposed to this gas.

Quit wasting time!

You need to transport Robocasts
to get people to safety!

Are you sure you're a civilian?

A civilian looking for his family!

Hey! Wait! Come back!

Have you seen either of them?

No, I haven't seen them.

I see. Thank you.

[soldier] Wait! Stop!

Hey, Ed!

[gasps]

Marnie! Serena!

[wind whistling]

[shudders]

[breathing shakily]

[whimpering]

[gasps]

[sobbing] You were waiting for us?

Forgive me.

[Ed groaning]

Ed?

Ed!

Jim?

Jim! Are you okay?
