01:17The DNA was taken from Tissue recovered at the crash site.
01:21Externally, she is a perfect Terran clone.
01:24If she looks, Terran, is she truly a Neo-Sapien?
01:28She is a Neo-Sapien under the skin and loyal to me.
01:37But can a mere exo-tripper get close enough to Admiral Winfield to destroy him?
01:42J.T. Marsh is Winfield's pet.
01:47This female was assigned to Marsh's exo-squad.
01:51It is only a matter of time until she is in Winfield's presence.
01:57I have information that the Resistance is planning to free a shipment of Terran prisoners.
02:03I will arrange for the clone to be among them.
02:34I will arrange for the clone to be among them.
02:56It's all right.
02:57It must be the Resistance.
03:07Okay, move it, folks.
03:09We gotta get out of here before the Neo send out a patrol.
03:13I'm an exo-trooper.
03:15I need to get back to my squad.
03:35Three contacts in sector five.
03:37Come on!
04:05Master Butler.
04:07Three hostiles coming your way.
04:14We're ready for him, Marsh.
04:17You heard the man. Let's do it!
04:22Nobody fires till I do.
04:26A little more...
04:30Fire!
04:37Fire!
04:51I'm on him!
04:56Lieutenant!
05:04Hey!
05:09Hold your fire!
05:10We'll take him alive.
05:20I need some med techs over here. We've got a live one.
05:23Nice shot, Lieutenant.
05:25You didn't think I'd shoot him in the back, did you?
05:31Lieutenant O'Reilly, next time you leave your position to go on a wild neo-chase, you'll be packing jumppots
05:36back at base.
05:37Yes, sir.
05:38If there's been one more of them out there, that might be you lying there instead of him.
05:42Exo-Fleet orders are to take prisoners whenever possible, sir.
05:46I don't need you to remind me of my orders, Lieutenant.
05:49I'll be glad when this mopping up operation is over.
05:53Somebody told me the Resistance is tracking them with dogs.
05:55Yeah, well, there aren't any dogs on Venus anymore. Not since the big famine after the Neos took over.
06:06Cool.
06:07You know what the trouble with Venus is, Marsala? There's no moon.
06:11Can you spare some heat?
06:13Good evening, Lieutenant O'Reilly.
06:15Look, I'm sorry Captain Butler was so hard-nosed today. We took a lot of casualties during the invasion.
06:20Some of us didn't even make it to the ground. I think the Captain feels responsible.
06:24Besides, jump troops just don't like E-Frame jockeys.
06:28Have you ever been inside an E-Frame?
06:31I've gotta fly a night recon. Why don't you, uh, tag along?
06:34I mean, that is, if Marsala here will let us use his two-seater.
06:41It's amazing!
06:44This is a heavy attack E-Frame. It's slow and clumsy.
06:48You love it, don't you? The flying.
06:51I guess you could say that's why I joined the Exo Fleet.
07:00Looks like we got visitors.
07:09Uh, maybe you'd like to go up again sometime?
07:12Are you asking me out on a date, Lieutenant?
07:15Any objections?
07:16I tell the troopers in my squad personal relationships in a command can interfere with the soldier's concentration.
07:22Even cost lives.
07:23You're right.
07:25But...
07:26I'm not in your platoon.
07:31Trooper Alice Naredi reporting for duty.
07:34Sir!
07:34What's the matter, JT?
07:36You look like you've just seen a ghost.
07:39ExoSquad will be back in a moment.
07:42Now, back to ExoSquad.
07:54The outer skin is gonna separate soon! Hang on!
07:57Welcome to Able's squad.
07:59Thanks.
08:00They told me it'd be fun.
08:04Naredi!
08:05Naredi's tumbling!
08:06Fire your stabilizers, Naredi!
08:12Nightmare?
08:15Yeah.
08:15I had one, too.
08:17It was about Naredi.
08:19I guess seeing her again disturbed me more than I thought.
08:21She's the only trooper I ever lost.
08:24I carry her picture in my e-frame to remind me.
08:28It's hard for me to talk about the prison camps. It's almost like I was never there.
08:33Hey, shouldn't you get some sleep, Naredi?
08:35I tried, but I'm just not tired. Must be the excitement of getting back to the squad.
08:40Well, don't let Marsala keep you up all night talking.
08:43Neosapiens may not need sleep, but you do.
08:52A pirate ship was delivering weapons to the Resistance, and I caught a ride with them back to Venus.
08:58I guess I was anxious to get back to the squad and start fighting the sapes again.
09:02We don't use that word, Alice. They're Neosapiens. Neos if you're in a hurry.
09:08Hey, look what I found!
09:10Looks like your stomach's trying to go for help.
09:14It's a pooch.
09:21Take it outside, Bronski.
09:23Aw, come on, Sarge. It's raining cats and dogs out there.
09:27It's all right. Animals never have like me.
09:35How can it lick your face and bark at hers?
09:38Probably thinks Bronski's another dog.
09:39Yeah, yeah, he's just hungry, that's all.
09:43We'll just give you Naretti's food, if she doesn't want it.
10:00Come in.
10:02Have you got a minute, JT?
10:05Yeah, sure. What's up?
10:08I need to get back in an E-frame.
10:10The squad won't accept me as one of them until I do.
10:13I can't let you fly.
10:14It's not my fault I crashed.
10:16It was a malfunction. Bad luck. I'm a good pilot.
10:22Alice, I was just going to say, you can't fly without medical clearance.
10:27You should have had the med techs check you out in Vesta.
10:29You don't blame me, do you? For the crash, I mean.
10:34I blame myself. You weren't ready.
10:37Maybe somebody with more experience would have made it down safe.
10:40You wouldn't have spent two years in a neo-prison camp.
10:45JT, I... Lieutenant Marsh.
10:48The door was open.
10:50What is it, Lieutenant?
10:51Intelligence reports neo-activity at a mesa in the desert south of here.
10:55Exofleet wants us to handle it.
10:56Naretti, tell the squad to begin flight prep on the E-frames.
11:05I guess you don't disapprove of personal relationships as much as you thought.
11:14Hey, it's not what you think.
11:22You know the drill, people! Stow your gear and check your jump mask!
11:31Marsala, I want you to go along with the jump troops as liaison.
11:34Naretti will take your place in the E-frame.
11:36Has Trooper Naretti been cleared to fly by medical?
11:39Naretti will take your seat. She'll be weapons tech. Nara will pilot.
11:42Today, Lieutenant Marsh. Let's not keep the Neos waiting.
12:24The end of the tunnel.
12:25The end of the tunnel.
12:27The end of the tunnel.
12:30The end of the tunnel.
12:32The end of the tunnel.
12:33The end of the tunnel.
12:34The end of the tunnel.
12:34The end of the tunnel.
12:34The end of the tunnel.
12:35The end of the tunnel.
12:35The end of the tunnel.
12:37The end of the tunnel.
12:39The end of the tunnel.
12:45Caz, you're flying air support with the Jump Troops.
12:49And the rest of you.
12:56The rest of you, follow me.
13:23Stay in contact when we get inside. J.T. to Marsala. Tell Butler he can start at Jump.
13:30Any heroes in here?
13:32Go, sir!
13:33Good! Let's jump!
13:59Surrender, and you won't be harmed.
14:16Man, these guys don't know how to surrender.
14:34We're going after one, J.T.
14:38I think we lost him.
14:49ExoSquad will be back in a moment.
14:52Now, back to ExoSquad.
15:01This place gives me the creeps.
15:04I've got a bad feeling.
15:05Activating Stealth Mode.
15:15Let's try some psychological warfare.
15:17Why not just open fire?
15:19Why fire if we don't have to?
15:21Put your weapons down and leave your E-frames.
15:29We've got you surrounded.
15:31We've got you surrounded.
15:31Sounds like we've found the war.
15:37Down!
15:59Look out!
16:17There still may be some Neos hiding in the deep caverns.
16:20We'll start flushing them out as soon as we rearm.
16:23Would an old admiral be in the way if he wanted to come down and have a look?
16:26Is that a good idea, sir?
16:28Sitting in headquarters, you can forget what it's like to be a soldier.
16:32That's something we all need to remember.
16:35I'll fly down within the hour.
16:37Winfield out.
16:39Admiral Winfield is on his way.
16:43Winfield is coming here?
16:45Is that important?
16:46No, it's just...
16:48It'll be good to see him again.
16:53Can I talk to you alone?
16:55Yeah, sure.
16:56Marsala, round up the rest of the squad.
17:05Marsala is your friend.
17:07A Neo-Sapien.
17:09The enemy.
17:10No, Phaeton is the enemy.
17:13Neos are just people who look different.
17:15I used to hate the enemy.
17:18But not now.
17:20How do you fight without hate?
17:22You do your duty.
17:24Whatever it takes to get this war over with.
17:26What if that meant taking a life in cold blood?
17:29Say, assassinating Phaeton.
17:33Exo-Fleet doesn't fight that way.
17:36No, Exo-Fleet doesn't.
17:44I knew you'd come back when you got tired of walking.
17:47Was my replacement satisfactory?
17:49Naredi did a good job today.
17:51It was almost like having you back there.
18:07You know, Marsala, I like the desert.
18:11You can see a long way.
18:13Alice Naredi is a Neo-Sapien.
18:16What?
18:17What do you mean?
18:18She never sleeps.
18:20She has avoided the medical examination for her flight clearance.
18:23And the dog that Bronski found barks only at Naredi and myself.
18:28Now wait, you're telling me she's a Neo who looks like a Terran because a dog barked at her?
18:34I would not have spoken if I did not have proof.
18:37Because of differences in the brain, an E-frame control processor must be reconfigured for a Neo-Sapien or Terran
18:45user.
18:46My E-frame did not need to be reconfigured after it was used by Naredi.
18:51Well, maybe the E-frame reconfigured automatically.
18:54JT, you must not let your emotions interfere with your judgment.
18:57Hey, you know me better than that.
19:00It's just that...
19:01Well, losing Naredi came to mean everything that's wrong with this war.
19:04Any war.
19:05A young life.
19:07Wasted.
19:08More lives may be at stake.
19:10If she is a Neo-Sapien, then we must ask ourselves, what is her mission?
19:22Admiral Winfield.
19:36Naredi?
19:43Most of the last pockets of Neo-Sapiens have been cleared.
19:46Are you having any luck getting them to surrender?
19:48The Neos don't give up easily, sir.
19:53Get down!
20:01Fifth platoon.
20:02This is Butler.
20:03Admiral Winfield's been attacked by an exo-trooper in an E-frame.
20:08Naredi.
20:09I don't want to do this, Admiral Winfield.
20:11But the war must end.
20:13What are you doing?
20:16Phaeton has ordered me.
20:17I am a Neo-Sapien.
20:22I am a Neo-Sapien.
20:22Is it?
20:26No!
20:28I am Alice Naredi!
20:45Get ready!
20:51Keep it up, Alice.
20:53Before it's too late.
21:19I'm sorry, J.T.
21:23I'm sorry, J.T.
21:39ExoSquad will be back in a moment.
21:42Now, back to ExoSquad.
22:11Now, back to ExoSquad.
