"After you remove the harnesses, they're able to return to normalcy with no residual effects?" "Well, that's what we're trying to figure out." "We'd like to know if the harnesses cause any chromosomal mutations." "DNA tests should be able to give you an answer to that." "If we had the equipment to run one."

"Dish detergent, salt -- that's everything I need...." "Here are the tissue samples from 12 kids who had their harnesses removed." "Okay." "How are they doing -- the kids?" "Each one of them have varying degrees of post-traumatic stress, but most are adjusting." "We've placed them with families, they're going to school -- resuming their lives as best they can." "It must be...rewarding working with children." "That's why I became a pediatrician." "Although, it wasn't till I had my first that I realized what it meant to be a parent." "You had a child before the invasion?" "A boy " " Sammy." "Is he..." "A piece of shrapnel from a Mech missile went through his right temple." "He bled out in my arms." "There's nothing worse than the silence right af-- after..." "It was a mistake." "I'm sorry." "I don't want to talk." "I'll have these results for you tonight." "Bye." "Hathaway:" "We've spent the last year trying to establish a communications network with as many of the surviving resistance groups as our scouting parties could find." "It's been our whole focus, and it hasn't been easy." "In fact, it's been damn near impossible." "Still, in all, a system has been put into place." "Information does travel." "It's not Federal Express." "It's...more like the pony express, but it's up and running, and I'm not willing to put that at risk." "My guess is that every resistance group you've contacted has said basically the same thing -- that conventional engagement has proven ineffective, guerilla tactics slightly more successful but at too great a cost." "You're absolutely right." "That's why I'm..." "A little more than interested in what your Volm ally has to offer." "And Lieutenant Fisher was certainly impressed with the way their weapons helped you crush that attack." "But you're not convinced?" "No, I'm not convinced." "Give me a reason to believe you, Professor?" "This isn't some academic exercise here." "The survival of the entire human race is at stake." "I'm well aware of that, sir." "And believe me, any vestiges of my former, academic naiveté have been wiped away by the last two years." "My reasons for trusting the Volm are simple but practical -- we need them." "For the last seven months, we've fought side-by-side with Cochise and his soldiers, and we've expanded our perimeter." "We've defended it against repeated attacks." "But moreover, sir..." "We've caused real hurt." "These are real, tangible results." "I trust our ally because in my gut," "I believe that with their knowledge of the enemy and their weaponry, we can win this war." "Donovan:" "Then what?" "What plans do the Volm have for us after the war?" "They have no plan for us." "And you expect us to take your word on that?" "No." "His." "That's why I brought him." "I'm sorry about all this." "[ Sighs ]" "It is to be expected." "Professor Mason has told me a good deal about you -- how the Volm have fought the Espheni... halfway across the universe liberating one planet after another." "And you have questions." "Just one actually." "What are you fighting them for?" "Resources, territory?" "A flower -- the Catarius." "It blooms on my homeland when the weather begins to warm." "A flower that is..." "So valuable that it's caused an intergalactic war?" "The Catarius has no value to anyone except me." "Something you remember from your childhood?" "Actually, I have never seen it." "Just as I have never held the warm soil of my homeland in my hands." "Like the rest of my comrades, I was born on the ships that set out from our world hundreds of years ago." "All I know of the Catarius is an image in a data file and through a poem my brother read to me when I was young." "You never told me that you had a brother." "He..." "He is deceased." "On a planet orbiting one of those spots of light up there -- a most weary, un-bright cinder far from the home I have never known." "He was born to war, grew up in it, and it eventually claimed him." "He died for a world he never saw." "Be thankful that you fight on the soil of your homeland, gentlemen." "That is a gift." "I will never see my home." "But if we win this war, my children's children may one day... gaze upon a real Catarius." "That is what I am fighting for, Mr. President." "Congratulations, Professor." "I think you just made it to round two." "The thing is..." "with my spikes," "I can do things, you know, good things." "I look at..." "[ Sighs ] ...other kids in mess hall, in school or whatever, and..." "I can do stuff they can't, you know?" "We're -- we're part of the solution to this whole mess because of our spikes." "And...yeah, maybe that means we're freaks, but it's worth something -- it's worth the sacrifice." "Isn't it?" "Even if it means you only live to be 20?" "You know..." "It's okay if you still want to do it." "I know." "I'll like you with glasses." "Liar." "Hi, Colonel." "Hal." "Hey, is it true my dad left Charleston?" "Where did he go?" "Can you at least tell me when he's coming back?" "A couple of days probably." "Something wrong, Hal?" "Can I help?" "Ah, it's fine." "It's fine." "Um..." "I'm just gonna wait till my dad gets back." "It's all good." "[ Breathing heavily ]" "[ Grunts ]" "Hal:" "Now, is that the best you got?" "[ Laughs ]" "Now, we both know why you didn't tell Weaver the truth, don't we?"

"[ Sighs ]" "[ Chuckles ]" "This isn't real." "[ Groans ]" "Karen put some sort of implant in me." "And this is a hallucination." "Oh, so, we're back to that excuse?" "It's the truth." "Then what about all the rendezvous with Karen?" "They're dreams." "Dreams?" "[ Chuckling ] Ohh." "Come on." "You know those weren't dreams." "So, you go to the woods to meet Karen..." "Because you love her." "'Cause you want her." "And you just can't stop thinking about her."

"They can't face the truth... any more than you can." "[ Laughs ]" "No!" "Oh, Hal." "You seem stressed." "I'll tell you what -- how about I take over for a little while, give you a break?" "I don't like it, Tom." "I didn't think you would." "But this is the right thing to do." "The President needs me and Cochise to present the Volm's position to the people." "[ Sighs ] Whatever's going on," "I've learned the hard way that to argue with you after you've made up your mind is a waste of time." "That's true." "Listen, I'm not sure when I'm gonna be back, so tell Anne and the boys that" "I love them and I'll see them as soon as I can." "You can tell her yourself." "She just came in." "You speak there." "Tom?" "Can you hear me, Tom?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm here." "So, you heard that?" "Yeah." "And you understand?" "No, not really, but I know you have to do what you believe is right." "I'll be back as soon as I can." "I know." "Kiss Alexis for me, and..." "Everything's gonna be all right." "You got to believe that." "I do." "I love you." "I love you, too."

"It's nothing short of miraculous." "I'd love the opportunity to examine that de-harnessing machine." "Of course." "Anytime." "Sample number five is an anomaly." "It's strands of something -- alien DNA or who knows what -- intertwined with the human DNA." "It's like a parasitic jungle vine wrapped around a tree and slowly strangling it."
