Affirmative,we have visual
this is big!
This is Alpha,prepare to attack the mother-ship.
What is that,
that light,it's getting bigger.
Base,do you see this?
A D-Brain is opening.D-Brain?
lt's an open string,
look.There's a tachyon
particle mass erupting spreading.
Sir,it's a time hole.
l'm losing control of my ship,sir!
Sir,l think it just ate the mother-ship!
What happened,where is everyone?
Quick,write down this world line.
Z at 300,Y at -483,
X at 59,65 degrees.
What's that?That,is where our boys just time jumped.
My god.To where?
My guess is,is to wherever the mother-ship is.
Where are we?Earth,baby!
We made it,we on planet Earth man,we never left the planet!
We made it outside!
Something doesn't feel right.
You know what didn't feel right? That damn blood sucking motherfucking shit,that didn't feel right!
Where you going? find that girl that saved us.
lf she did that,she can find that ship again.
Oh,good thinking now that we're out,it makes perfect sense for us to back to that nightmare
Why don't you just go your own way,l don't want to waste your time.
What are you,breaking up with me?!No,l'm just saying,it's my fight. . .
TYour fight,your fight? Really because last l looked these Tripods
had wiped out most of my people in the 23rd.
Hell,last time this happened my girl got zapped.
You think l don't miss holding my girl's hand?
Talking to my brother? Talking to my mom?
Your fight?Please.
Dude,this isn't just about you and finding your son
it's got to be bigger than that.
For me,it's only about finding my kid.
l know this,l've seen this,man.
You've got post-traumatic syndrome,you need to start dealing with reality,man.
My bad,l'm sorry man,wait up wait up,homie.
Come on man,l'm sorry,
l probably got that stress syndrome my damn self.
This is Earth Base to Major Kramer in the Command Ship, come in,please.
Nothing.Son of a bitch!
Oh,shit,look at this,we going to be riding in style,air conditioning,
maybe we can find something out on the radio.
We have keys!
Dead battery.
More than one way to skin this cat
No engine.
This is Alpha.
Can anybody read me?
This is Alpha,is anybody out there?
Alpha.
Oh,Stingray,Thank God.
Alpha,this is Squidkiller,what the hell was that?
We just time jumped.
l thought that shit was made up,sir.Sir,is that Mars?
Affirmative.Let me get a sta tus report.
Fuel cells are 25% functional sir.
Okay.l want all ships to maintain their current position,
l'm going to move in and see what we're up against.
Roger that,Alpha.
Man,that thing pumped me full of crap,l don't feel so good man,wait!
Man,l need to get some water l'm dying of thirst.
This isn't going to work.
What?
We need a plan,we've got to try to get up on the rooftop or something,scan the area.
You stay here,okay,l'll be back in a minute.
Okay,that's a good idea,l'll stay here,because l'm tired.
You are coming back aren't you,
that ship might have just sucked everybody up George,
it might just be me and you.
Man,l'm tired.
The squadron isn't safe here.
Who are you?
l'm one of them,just like you. There are only so many. . .
What,are there more?
There's only one,oh,he'll be so disappointed. . .
Okay,l'm looking for somebody,
l'm looking for a 1 0 year old little boy,his name is Alex.
l know Alex. . .
You do?
He's dead,he's. . . -What?
He was my brother,he died with my dad,he's in heaven now.
l don't believe in heaven!
Good,good,you're alive,okay okay,good,so there's two. . .
. . . is better than one.
Damn,l see you found her.
Actually,she found me.
We have to go,we have to go now.
What's wrong with her?
Rawr!
Oh my god,George!
George,George,that's a strong name.
You'll help us,come on,we have to go.
You see that,on her face?
ls that contagious?
How long is this fool going to have us out here,wait?
Only two?
There were more,some got lost and some didn't follow,
and,sorry,l did the best l could.
Sissy,you did good,you did good.
Only two..
You've doubled our numbers.
You're very brave,let me see them.
Come on,come on.
l'm George,this is Pete.
Shackelford.
Are there any others?
Used to be,now it's just Sissy and l.
Walkers?
You must be thirsty,the filtering process
can leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Yea,you ain't kidding.
How about something with a little kick?
Yea,hell yea!
Filtering process?
The Squids know after the first invasion that the microbes in our blood are lethal to them,
but the blood itself is crucial to their survival.
The answer is to homogenize the blood,we've been experimenting
since the first invasion on the best way to do that.
Most of the captured were drained,
and their blood stored until the process could be perfected.
Others are,kept alive experimented on.
Others?
Children.
Damn,not half bad.
lt takes some getting used to it's synthetic.
Moonshine?
Kind of.We make everything around here.
Why is that?
No resources.
lt's hard to get things when you're stuck on Mars.
Anybody else getting a freakshow out there?
Roger that.Whoa,Stingray to Alpha,something's pulling me.
Yea,Roger that Stingray,me too.
What the hell is going on?
lt looks like we're just going to take this war to them.
l don't remember the Mars Rover bringing pictures back of this place.
Yea,whatever disease you two have is messing with your thinking.
Technically,you're still on the ship,but the ship itself is on Mars.
l call this place the Petri dish.
The Squids built it to recreate the viruses.
So,what,it's like a hamster cage?
Exactly.We just refuse to run on the wheel.
Ya'll are crazy.
So,we're definitely not on Earth?
l haven't been on Earth in two years.
Two years?
They captured us after the first invasion.
l assumed there were others,
l slipped through the cracks.
Sissy here,was their guest for quite a while.
Hey,are you guys seeing what l'm seeing.
Alright,let's just lay low,
something tells me we're only going to get one chance at this.
On your mark,sir.
lt kills the pain.
lt's killing your brain cells.
l understand it's difficult to wrap your mind around.
Sissy can show you.
No!No!l don't want to go back.
Unpleasant memories.
George!You don't believe that nutcase,do you?
l don't know,but l've got to find out.
Man,this is crazy.
What else do l have to go on?
This place is as real as l am.
Recreated environments? Petri Dish? Please.
ln there.Find the emergency exit nobody ever tries the emergency exit.
Be careful.
Go ahead G,l got your back.
This is Earth base to Major Kramer in the command ship.
Please come in.
We have no fleet left,no army no militia.
That's right.
Want to get drunk?
Yea.
Steady.Okay guys,hang on.
We're entering the Martian atmosphere.
This is Alpha.Did everybody come through?
Affirmative.This is Squidkiller.
Roger that.We're all here.
Okay,guys.Eagle formation.
Now.
Holy mother of Christ.
Squidkiller,bank left.
Try to make it to the mothership do not get lost in this battle.
We can not waste our bio warheads.
Flank left,we're going to go in,3 in the box.
Roger that Alpha.
Shit.Call in.
Walkman to Alpha,9 o'clock.
Go ahead interference,l'm going in.
Focus.Only fire at the center.
Keep close,Squidkiller,you stay with me.
Make it out alive and l'll hit you square in the mouth.
Target in 8,7,6. . .
Go left?
Alright,l think we gather whatever we can and make it back to the mothership.
You heard what he said.
They keep the kids alive,Alex has got to be here somewhere. . .
Suicide.
Be quiet Mr.Moonshine.
Miles of tunnels,they'd catch you before you even got close
l could have showed you once myself but . . .
What's wrong with you anyway man?
During the time Sissy spent being their lab rat,she was like a superstar.
Anything they threw at her, she survived.
A mix of various bugs created a kind of super-flu.
How come it's not killing her?
lt is,just slowly.
So you caught it from her?
Not exactly,they attacked before l could distribute it,
l infected myself,but it was too late.
So that's why Sissy went back on the ship?
That's why we're here,now.
l don't get it.
You're part of the resistance.
Resistance? You,me,this half dead guy,and the psycho chick?
All l care about it getting my kid back.
Your son is just a tiny little piece of the puzzle,George.
The question is,how far are you really willing to go,to save him?
What are you planning to do with that?
Martian Armageddon.
With this in your system,when the Squids take you on to the ship,
your blood will contaminate their supply.
With all the blood tainted,they won't be able to survive long.
That will kill the ship?
Evenutally.But to bring it down fast
would need to be a direct hit to the heart of the system,
and even l don't know where that is.
Sorry,no thanks.
l do know where your son is George,l know.
You can set him free,hold him again.
lt's a one way street,you take it,
and l'll have Sissy show you right where it's at . . .
George,there's a better way.
This dude's dying man,you can't do this!
Tell me where my kid is Shackelford,tell me where my kid is.
Oh,god. . . no. . . no. . . .
You okay?
We're going to figure this out man,stay with me.
He knew where my kid was,he knew he was alive.
And we'll find him,we're going to find him
Hey,l think that's one of ours. . .
let's get Alex.
The fighters could be our ticket home,George.
Yea,if we find them.
Let's just find that door,if we find that door,we find my kid.
That girl would know,all we have to do is find that psycho chick.
She's long gone.
How do you know? We could find her,man.
l'm trying to tell you,finding psycho bitches is my specialty.
George,we got to get out of here.Now.
No.That's my ticket in.
What? No!No!No!!
No.No!
George?
George!
George?!
Oh god,man.
You alright? you are alive?
Take a breath,George,take a breath.
Twinkle,twinkle little star?
lt's Alex.
Careful,careful,don't touch the walls.
Don't touch the walls.
This way.
He's over here.
Alex!
Come on.better let hiim go.
Alex!l don't want to let him go!
We've got to go now,George! Let's go!
Come on!
Come on,let's go.
Wait!Hey!Follow me!
What the hell is that thing?
That's the brain,Pete.
That's how they communicate.
We have to keep moving,man.
Wait.You've got to help me.
What are you doing?
l want you to draw some blood.
Dude,l do not do needles,man.
Draw my blood.
Dad,what are you doing?
Oh,man.
lt's okay,little man.
Out here,messing with needles and all that,
l'm going to draw blood here we. . .
Easy,easy.
Dad,you okay?
Suck on that!
Dad.
You hear that? We have to go now,George!Now!
Stay close,Alex,and don't touch the walls.
Alex.
Come on ya'll,let's go.
l'm just going to reverse the main thrusters
and see if l can muster up enough power to get out of here.
lf anyone can do it,Major you can.
Yea,let's hope so.
l think it's that way.
Major!
Alex,what the hell are you doing here?
Well,you're timeing's perfect, we are about to get this bird out of here.
is there anybody else?
Man,there's a gang of people back there.
Okay,fire up your ship and gather up as many people as you can we're taking off.
Let's go guys,let's get your dad out of here.
The mothership is dying.
Come on in here buddy.
l got something for you,these belonged to the greatest pilot ever,my father.
Hang in there,George.
Hey,don't worry,your dad's going to be alright.
Prepare for takeoff.
George,hang in there buddy.
Hang in there,dad.
Get us out of here,Alex.
5,4,3,2. . .
We need to locate the time jump coordinates.
Hey guys,l think l got something.
Victoria,we need the time jump coordinates.
Victoria,come in! -Gorman!
We need the coordinates to the time jump!
Can you hear me.
They need the coordinates to the time jump.
There,there,over there.
Uh,Z at 300,Y at -43,X at 59 65 degrees.
We got it.We got it guys.
We'll see you back home.
Hold on everyone,we're about to head through the worm hole.
(three months later )
So where'd you learn to cook like that? (three monthes later )
One of the benefits of spending time on KP.
Disciplinary action.
Well,l'm afraid so,sir.
Well,it certainly worked to our benefit today,that was excellent.
Thank you.
You finished,Alex?
Can l be excused?
Sure.
This whole thing's been hard on him.He just a little boy.
Yea,l know.
How you doing,buddy?
Good.
l know you got a lot on your mind.
l just want you to know,Alex that we're all friends here.
lf you have anything at all you want to talk about,just let me know.
Okay.
This world's become a place where boys like you and l have to grow up fast.
l'm really proud of the way you're handling things,Alex.
l miss my dad.
Yea,l miss him too.
Little man!
l'll be damned.
Dad,you're here.
Oh,God,easy slugger.
He's held together with bubble-gum and scotch tape,Alex.
l'll take care of him.
l'm counting on that,son.
Major.
George.Damn good to see you.
Pete.
My man!
Welcome back.
Good to see you,Vicky.
That's quite the watch you got there,my man.
My dad gave it to me.
He certainly did,didn't he.

Oh yea,go on get you some.
Hello,Vicky
