00:18I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:37Let's go.
01:00Let's go.
01:36That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
01:58It's hard to believe that we've only been fighting this war for three years.
02:01It feels more like 30.
02:03The perception of time is relative.
02:05A lifetime can be lived in three years.
02:08I've lost so much.
02:09James, my parents.
02:12I'm afraid of what might happen next.
02:16No one knows what the future holds.
02:18We can only live it as it comes.
02:29Remember, double-check everything.
02:31This isn't the Earth, but it's right next door.
02:33We're nearing the end game, people.
02:35We're finally getting a chance to take back what was taken from us.
02:38And we don't want any surprises.
02:43I've been meaning to thank you for rescuing all that artwork while you were on Earth.
02:47That's why they pay me the big bucks.
02:49It'd be a tragedy to lose all that beauty.
02:51Just because Phaeton doesn't have an eye for the finer things in life.
03:00Cyberjack, on.
03:02We're dropping right into the Neo's backyard.
03:04There's no atmosphere and the gravity's weak.
03:06So, uh, try not to bump your head on the ceiling.
03:10We know the drill, sir.
03:14Two minutes to drop.
03:18You'd think after all my years with the Exo Fleet,
03:21I wouldn't feel anything sending soldiers into combat.
03:24But I do.
03:26I'd still rather risk my own life
03:27than order other soldiers to risk theirs.
03:30And that's why they're willing to follow your orders.
03:33This is Admiral Winfield.
03:35All squadrons, proceed with the assault.
03:38eloos.
03:51Part 2.
03:52Part 2.
03:55Part 2.
03:56Part 2.
03:58Part 2.
04:00Part 2.
04:34Fight to the death!
04:35The moon must not fall to the Terrans!
04:38They've launched a full-scale assault. We're not equipped to defend.
04:41No! Defend or perish! We cannot lose!
04:45The Terrans must be stopped here.
04:47The moon is a dagger pointed at the Earth.
04:50It will give them the base they need for an invasion.
04:54Now go!
05:03Governor-General Faiton!
05:06The Exo-Fleet is attacking at full strength. I don't know what we can hold.
05:09You are a simpleton, Typhonus. I suspected you might inherit the incompetence of your predecessors.
05:17However, to save our cause, I will also have to save you.
05:21In a few short hours, the Exo-Fleet will be swept out of existence.
05:25We may not have ours.
05:27Do not disappoint me, Typhonus. Everything we have fought for hangs in the balance.
05:33Shoo!
05:39We may not have to die.
05:41We may not have to die!
05:47We may not have to die!
05:49We may not have to die!
06:05Take cover!
06:28Tranquility base, huh?
06:33Don't seem too tranquil to me.
06:37All set.
06:38We only took minor casualties on the drop.
06:46All right, troopers!
06:47Follow me!
06:50Let's move!
06:57How's it look, Alec?
06:59I don't understand it.
07:00There's no sign of any Neo E-frames.
07:02Incoming!
07:04Those cannons are still operational.
07:07I'm going in!
07:18Yeah!
07:20I've got it!
07:27It's an ambush!
07:31I'm hit!
07:34I'm on it, Max!
07:40Are you okay, Maggie?
07:42Yeah.
07:43I hate surprises.
07:45Well, be careful, Liam.
07:46Why, Mr. Delion, I didn't know he cared.
07:52Of all the creatures who have occupied the Earth, it is we, the Neo-Sapiens, who have proved most fit
08:00to rule.
08:07The door to our future is opening, and beyond that door lies the road to greatness.
08:18Life is a journey.
08:20Every action we take, every decision we make, large or small, is a step on that journey.
08:27Only when we take the last step is the final destination revealed.
08:32But you have chosen your future.
08:35You will not take your final step in darkness, but in the brilliant flash of ultimate sacrifice.
08:42As your enemy crumbles before you, you will know that your journey was not made in vain!
08:52Exosquad will be back in a moment.
08:54Now, back to Exosquad!
09:11Admiral, sensors show multiple squadrons of Neo-E-Frames approaching the fleet. Thousands of them!
09:17Scramble all remaining E-Frames, intercept the Neo-Sapien frames, and keep them away from the fleet!
09:47.
09:49.
09:50.
09:50.
09:50.
09:50.
09:54.
09:55.
09:55.
09:56.
09:56I don't know.
10:43Phaeton's pulled out all the stops.
10:45Then we will all go up in a glorious blaze, brighter than a new sun.
10:51This can't be the end, Simbaka. We've come too far.
10:57All right, people. Keep moving forward.
11:03Understand you need some heavy firepower, Captain.
11:06It's amazing there. And the Nios are fighting for every tunnel. We could use your help.
11:10De Leon can take point in his E-frame. He should be able to tell us what kind of trouble
11:13to expect.
11:14The more, the merrier, Commander.
11:16All E-frames return to the fleet immediately. We are under attack by Nio E-frames.
11:23Looks like you'll have to take this one alone, Captain.
11:26Without your E-frames, we might as well hang targets on our back.
11:30Sorry, Captain. But I've got my orders.
11:32JT, one more E-frame won't make a difference up there. But it might for the Captain. Let me go
11:38with him.
11:40All right, Alec. But take care.
11:42Always, JT.
11:43Hey, don't get cocky, Alec.
11:45Why, Weston, I didn't know you cared.
11:49In your dreams, De Leon.
11:51Let's go, flyboard.
12:00Regroup on me. It's gonna get rough, people.
12:02Oh, man. I knew I wasn't gonna like this one.
12:10These Neos are fighting like pirates.
12:13Funny. I can almost respect them.
12:19Keep them away from the fleet.
12:29I got one on my tail. He won't shake loose.
12:34Got you covered, JT.
12:49I'm picking up three Neo-E-frames coming around the bend.
12:53Pellegrino! Plasma grenade!
13:05I'm picking up three Neo-E-frames coming around the bend.
13:09Which one should we take, sir?
13:13I guess that answers the question.
13:14Take cover in the tunnels!
13:34Typhonus!
13:34Typhonus!
13:34Typhonus!
13:37Typhonus!
13:40Typhonus!
13:42Typhonus!
13:54Typhonus!
13:55Typhonus!
13:57Typhonus!
13:58Typhonus!
13:59Typhonus!
14:00Typhonus!
14:00Typhonus!
14:01Typhonus!
14:01Typhonus!
14:02Typhonus!
14:15Respond, Typhonus. How goes the battle? I have dispatched another squadron of E-Frames. The Exo-fleet will pay for
14:21their temerity.
14:26The Exo-fleet may retake the moon, but for you the battle is finished.
14:37The Exo-Squad will be back in a moment. Now, back to Exo-Squad.
14:45We should have crushed you, Exo-fleet insects, long before now.
14:51Checkmate, Typhonus. I'm disengaging all your systems.
14:55You are full of surprises, Terran. But so am I.
15:01Alec!
15:03This is a specially modified E-Frame. How do you like it?
15:14Alec!
15:18How bad is it, Alec?
15:21Bad.
15:22You're stuck in there. I'll have to cut you out and get the evac...
15:25No! There's no time. I'm not going to make it. My E-Frame knows. It told me.
15:33Look, you're delirious. I'm calling for immediate desktop.
15:37After you do something for me. Can you patch into a Neocom console?
15:43Sure, but why?
15:45Get his black box.
15:48Alec, you need medical attention.
15:50Just... do it. Please.
16:00Good. Now, patch me into the Kong.
16:08You're as stubborn as J.T., and I thought that was impossible.
16:12You care about him, don't you?
16:14I care about getting you off to an evac shuttle.
16:17Take my black box out and insert Typhonus's.
16:22I get it.
16:23You're going to process your communications through his black box so that you'll appear to be him.
16:28I can do more than that.
16:32Is it my fate to suffer the idiocy of incompetent generals?
16:37Typhonus.
16:38Draconus.
16:39Shiva.
16:40And now Typhonus again.
16:42We have lost Venus and let Mars be destroyed.
16:45If Typhonus loses the moon, the end is near, Livia.
16:50Incoming transmission from Typhonus.
16:52Perhaps it is good news.
16:55Typhonus, is the battle ours?
16:58Phaeton, we are betrayed.
17:01The battle is lost.
17:03Our E-Frame pilots have fled and are surrendering to the Terrans.
17:08I...
17:08I am injured and can only last a short while longer.
17:13Raiders, their cowardice will not save them.
17:17Typhonus, I am taking command of the E-Frames.
17:20They will receive one last order.
17:40Good hit, Bronski.
17:42It wasn't me.
17:43It just went kablooey.
17:48They're all blowing up.
17:50Hundreds of them, gone.
17:52I don't get it.
17:53Communication with Phaeton terminated.
17:56Good job, Alec.
17:58Now, let's get you to the med techs.
18:01Wait.
18:02One...
18:03One more thing.
18:10Sir, we can't hold this position much longer.
18:16Pull back, Pellegrino.
18:17That's an order.
18:20We're bugging out.
18:21Move!
18:26This is General Typhonus.
18:29Phaeton has surrendered to the Terrans.
18:31The war is over.
18:34Put down your weapons.
18:36What kind of Neo trick is this?
18:44Butler to Pellegrino.
18:45Hold your fire.
18:46The Neos are surrendering.
18:49Guess somebody forgot to tell them they were winning.
18:53Take it to...
18:55Take it to Maggie.
18:57You give it to Weston yourself.
18:58This is O'Reilly.
19:01Request Evac at these coordinates.
19:03Now!
19:05Evac will be coming soon.
19:08You never...
19:09You never answered my question.
19:11You do care about JT.
19:13Don't you?
19:17Shh.
19:18Don't talk.
19:19Rest now.
19:21Tell him.
19:23I never told Maggie.
19:26Remember.
19:34Goodbye, Ollick.
19:52I'm sorry, JT.
19:54By the time MedTech got to him, there was nothing they could do.
20:01Alec?
20:02Maybe if you'd let me call them sooner, but...
20:07He wanted you to have this, Maggie.
20:10I'm sorry.
20:16Oh, man.
20:17I never thought it would be him.
20:19It's never who you think.
20:21You're gonna be okay?
20:24Uh, sure.
20:34Oh, Alec.
20:43When is this stupid war going to end?
20:46No one knows, but it'll be sooner because of Alec.
20:50We came in peace for all mankind.
20:53We can always hope.
21:09If exo-fleet supply could build troopers the way we build E-frames,
21:15Sergeant Rita Torres would be standard issue.
21:21With a soldier as good as Torres, it's easy to forget there's a human being inside the uniform.
21:32The same way one might forget what's going on inside a reactor until it explodes.
21:39ExoSquad will be back in a moment.
21:42Now back to ExoSquad.
21:44Let's go.
22:12We'll see you next time.
