Molly: I went to space
on a 13-month solo mission.

I didn't come home alone.

The child--
part human, part alien--

Was unlike anything
the world had ever seen.

My other child
is a lifelike android.
Mom?

He has become the prototype
for a new breed

Of thinking machines
called humanichs.

These two extraordinary
new life-forms

Now hold the key
to earth's future.

But where does that leave us?

Over 99% of all species



That have ever existed
have gone extinct.

What if it's our time?

Previously on extant...

What are you
proposing?
Coexistence.

Coexistence means the end
of the human race.

Richter:
You need to figure out which
world you want to live in.

You can't have both.

Kelsey richter, daughter
of suspected terrorist,

Jd richter, was taken
into custody today...

What the hell?

You're not going
anywhere.

Jd, don't.
Ares, stop it!

He's free to go.

In another life,
molly woods.



Yeah.

Lucy:
Whose pyxcube was that?

Charlie:
Julie's.

Was that her boyfriend?

Oh, my god,
i could go to jail.

Only if someone tells.

Wait, wait.

This just can't happen.

Molly: The gsc has a virus
to kill hybrids.

A virus i created.

Hello, taylor.

What's your recommendation?

Taalr:
Release the virus in conjunction

With the deployment
of the humanich army.

You're not humans.

Lucy:
General shepherd,

We found them.

All of them.

Reporter: Please stand by
for an emergency message

From the global security
commission.

Five counties remain
on lockdown

As terrorists bearing
biological weapons

Are still at large.

Former astronaut molly...

(low rumbling)

(helicopter blades whirring)

(low, indistinct conversations)

You're not eating.

I'm not hungry.

You wish he hadn't left.

You shouldn't do that, terra.

You can look into my mind
if you want.

No.

I can't read minds
like you can.

But you can learn.

I don't want to.

People's thoughts and feelings
are meant to be private.

I don't want you to be sad.

Well, being sad
is a part of being human.

Ahdu:
Molly.

Something's happened.

Heleos is missing.

He didn't come back from
his perimeter watch.

(helicopter blades whirring)

Terra.

Come.

(excited chattering)

Ahdu:
Molly, they're landing.

Down to the tunnels!

We have to evacuate now!

Everybody, stop!

We don't
need to run.

We don't need
to fight.

We'll win.

They're inferior.

Our powers have proven that.

Stop thinking like a human.

This is a mistake.
Ahdu: Violence is not
our choice,

But if we have to fight
to survive, we will.

What's happening?

They're immune to us.

What about lucy?

Molly: Lucy?
Ethan: My sister.

She's a soldier.

Molly:
What kind of soldier?

(quietly):
They're not human.

Run!

(distorted shouting)

(distorted grunting, yelling)

(distorted):
Molly!

¶ ¶

(distorted shouting)

(coughing)

Terra!

Terra!

(distorted explosion, shouting)

(panting)

Take out the interior.

(indistinct shouting)

(panicked shouting)

Terra?!

Sweetheart, we have to go!

(gunfire continues)

Terra, honey.

Come on out,
honey.

I know
you're scared,

But if you don't come out,
i can't help you, okay?

So come on.

You've got
to come out.

Sweetheart, come.

Oh...

Come out.

Come.

Okay.

Attagirl.

Come on, let's go.

Molly.

Lucy.

Ethan's mother.

Don't do this.

No!
(gunshot)

(distorted):
Run, terra.

Run.

Don't worry.

This will only hurt
for a second.

(gunshot)

You miss me?

What took you so long?

I got here
as fast as i could.

(groaning)

(helicopter blades whirring)

(molly groans)

Son of a bitch.

You're welcome.

Sorry, but that hurt
like hell.

The good news is we don't have
to cauterize this.

What's the bad news?
The bad news is it's still
gonna hurt like hell,

But it'll stop the bleeding
and prevent infection.

(groans)

Sorry.

Ahdu: You didn't
have to do that.

Her body will take
care of itself.

Yeah, i've seen that,

And i appreciate
the flower-power mentality,

But i'm not taking any chances.

What'd you find out,
ahdu?

Casualties.

Women, children.

Some got away.

Some didn't.

Did they find terra?

Or ares.

But i know they're
out there somewhere.

How do you know that?

I just do.

Richter: You know, they
had you dead to rights.

I don't get it.

Why didn't they finish the job?

(coughs)

Oh.

The canisters.

They released the virus.

They did finish the job.

(excited talking)

Julie: Go, go,
go, go, go.

Come on, everybody
out of the way.
Move!

Her spinal cortex
has been destroyed.

Lumbar vertebrae have
suffered catastrophic damages.

Two, three.

Lucy, can you hear me?
I can hear you.

All right,
vocals have been affected.

That means her motor skills
will be, too.

Okay, don't worry.

We're gonna get you back
on your feet in no time, okay?

Charlie, this is horrible.

It's all right,
she's not in any pain.

That's the beauty
of humanichs.

What's done can
be undone.

I'm not talking
about repairs.

I'm talking about
what i've done...

With john's vision
of the program.

That can't be undone.

Ethan:
Lucy!

You're back!

What happened?

Who did this to you?!

Molly woods.

Your mother.

They took john's life's work

And turned them into assassins.

(ahdu coughing)

(coughing)

Is this what's going
to happen to you?

I don't know.

Everybody is affected
differently by the virus.

Does that meant that

There's a chance
you won't get sick?

I don't know.

I can't... Control
what's gonna happen to me.

(coughing)
right now,

All i care about

Is taking care of my son.

(grunting)
oh, okay.

Come on, come on.

Oh, crap.

Who is it?
It's my ex-wife.

Here, can you get
ahdu in the house?

I... I can see how
this looks bad.

Bad?!

Uh, my ex-husband's
a terrorist?!

The gsc literally
just dragged our daughter

Out of my living room.

They won't even
let me talk to her.
It's just

A scare tactic, all right?
They're not gonna hurt her.

What the hell have you
gotten yourself into?

It's complicated.

Okay.

Uh, look.

How did you even
get here anyway?

Where's you car?
I parked

And i walked up the back trail,
the old trail.

So, no one followed you?
No, no.

I followed all your crazy-ass

Security protocol.

And, yes, i remember
what you told me

About how to spot a tail.

Thank you.
Don't thank me.

You're a wanted man.

My just being here
makes me an accessory.

And i'm a judge.
At the very least,

I could lose my seat
on the bench.

Please.

Please, jd, tell me what
the hell is going on here.

I mean, honey,
you're a lot of things,

But a terrorist
is not one of them.

It's not me that
they're looking for.

Okay?
Ah.

So you say it's
very complicated,

But actually
it's quite simple.

No.
You turn them in,

And we get our girl back.

No, dorothy.
Look,

If you're not gonna do it,
i will.

Dorothy?

Oh, wow.

Your heart's racing.

What's happening to me?
The virus

Is... Affecting your blood.

How long do i have?

Well, at the rate
your cells reproduce...

A day.

Maybe two.

Dorothy:
Listen!

Whatever's going on here...

What the hell? Uh...

Jd:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Dorothy!

Put the gun down, dorothy.

Did you not see
what just happened?

Okay, i-i can explain...
No, no, no. I don't i want you

To explain anything;
i want you and-and whatever

That is to get
out of this house.

Now!

Listen to me, dorothy.
You're not...

You're not thinking straight,
all right?

Just...

Dorothy?

Molly, what the hell?

Knock it off!

(laughs)
thanks.

That means a lot.

(laughs)
i love you, too.

All right.

You know what?
That's enough.

Stop it!

I know

That it's hard for you to
understand what's happening.

What...?

What the hell?

Ethan:
Can she be fixed?

Julie:
We're trying.

Lucy's in good hands
with charlie.

No, she doesn't want
a human working on her!

Why not?

Because they can't be trusted.

Why would you say that?

(sighs)
lucy said that...

She said it was molly
who hurt her.

Ethan, lucy has suffered

Quite a bit of damage.

Her diagnostics
show misfires

All through her
cognitive processors.

You can't be sure she's
got all her facts right.

Humanichs aren't supposed
to hurt humans,

But humans can hurt humanichs.

Why is that okay?

It's not okay.

Nobody wants to hurt anybody.

So you would never hurt me?

Never.

What about lucy?

Not intentionally, no.

Good.

'cause if you did,
i don't know what i'd do.

Hey.

I brought you a little something
to take the edge off,

Maybe help you calm down.
Calm down?

After what just happened
and... What she did and...?

And then there's
that... I mean,

I-i don't even know what he is.
What is he?!

All right, now,
come here.

(sighs)

He is...

Half human.

A hybrid--

Human-alien.

Okay.

His name is ahdu.

He is molly's son.

And he's dying.

Well, i'm sorry.

I'm sorry for her and him,

Um, but, you know,
we have a daughter

Who's being held
against her will.

I was on my way
to help kelsey

When the gsc unleashed
a reign of holy terror

On molly, ahdu and his people.

His people?
Whatever you want to call them.

There's more of them?
There were.

There were.
Most were slaughtered.

I saw what was going on,

And i couldn't stand by
and let that happen.

Not again.
This isn't second kuwait.

I mean...

You're talking about--
i-i can't even believe

I'm saying this--
you're talking about aliens!

I mean, i mean, if turning
them in gets us kelsey back,

Then just do it, jd.

I can't.

I-i can't turn them in.

If i do that,
they will be killed.

(sighs)

Listen to me.

I-i think i have
another solution.

Okay.

It's cold.

I know.

If we can lower
your body temperature,

We just be able to slow down
the progression of the virus.

And then what?

(sighs)

It's all right, molly.

No, it's not all right.

I am not giving up, ahdu, okay?

I am gonna figure this out.

Now, there's one person i know

That just may be
able to help you.

Dorothy:
Why are you doing this?
Don't do this!

We both know
there's another way.

No, there's not
another way.

I'm going.

Going where?

To get kelsey.

I'm gonna turn myself in, molly.

Yeah, he's sacrificing himself
for you and your son.

I mean, that's who they
really want, right?

She's right.

You can't do that.

They don't want you.

If i turn myself in,

The gsc, they'll
release kelsey.

All right? So, dot,

You get me a good lawyer.

Look, i'm gonna
keep the gsc busy.

It'll buy you time,
get them off your scent.

I'm not gonna sit here
and watch him die.

What choice do you have?

There's someone at the gsc
that i think can help ahdu.

Now, i know it's a hail mary,

But i at least have got to try.
No.

You get within 20 miles of gsc,
they're gonna tag you.

Well, that's a risk
i'm gonna have to take.

And what about ahdu?

Well, he needs
his cold packs changed

Every half hour to keep his body
temperature from rising.

No!

No, i'm not going
back in there.

I don't know what
that alien's capable of!

That alien...

Is my son and he's dying.

I promise you

I will take care
of our daughter.

Okay.

Thank you.

Dorothy,
don't do anything stupid.

Please.

(sighs)

(car engine starts)

I... Feel...

Pain?

...Fear.

Now i get why humans fear death.

(sighs)

I don't want to die, charlie.

Hey.

Luckily, you're not going to.

At least, not today.

No, not now. Ever.

I can't remove
your expiration date, lucy.

You mean you won't.

No.

I mean, i physically can't.

Removing your expiration date
would kill you.

It's a safeguard.

Safeguard from what?

John woods believed that nothing
was meant to last forever.

Not even a soldier.

Expiration dates give you more
of the human experience.

I am not human.

I want to live.

Whatever the cost.

Find a way to remove
my expiration date

Or i tell julie everything.

How you didn't install
my limiters.

And how we had... Relations.

Wh...

What are you doing?

What are you doing?
Stop it.

Stop that.

Stop it! Stop it!

How the hell
did you get video of that?

That was a mistake.

Which i stopped.

I know that.

But julie doesn't.

And neither does the gsc.

All of that can change
with the blink of my eye.

Molly.

Look under the table.

If this is about
what's happening to you,

There's no way to reverse it.

So you know?

We put the pieces together.
Okay,

Then you know i don't
have a lot of time.

Now, shepherd released
that virus that we created.

A lot of the hybrids
have been exposed.

Are you...?

Showing symptoms? No.

The others
haven't been so lucky.

I'm sorry.

I don't need sympathy,

I need help.

Now, my son ahdu is dying.

Do you think
plasmapheresis can save him?

It's a long shot.

Okay, but if i could
take the infected plasma

From his blood...
You'd need
special equipment.

And you can get that.

You're asking me
to steal gsc equipment,

Aid and abet a known fugitive
and enemy of the state.

You understand
that, right?
Yes.

And you only helped me

Because you had no choice.

Because a scary alien hybrid

Took control of your mind.

So that's your story?

No.

That's yours.

I'm sorry,

But i'm fresh out of options.

(ahdu's labored breathing)

(labored breathing continues)

Could i have some water?

Uh... Sure.

I didn't mean to frighten you.

Earlier.

I was just, um...

Caught off guard.

It was a logical reaction.

Grabbing the gun wasn't.

You've only held a gun

One other time.

At a range with jd.

How did you...?

(sighs)

He taught me how to use one.

For protection.

He cares deeply for you
and kelsey.

Did you see that in his mind?

I didn't have to look
into his mind

To see the obvious.

But you can see in mine?

He's disappointed you.

I know.

He fought for us,

Helped us
when he didn't have to.

He's a true hero.

Mm.

Whatever you decide,

I understand.

(elevator engine whirring)

You have my daughter

And now you have me.

Let her go.

Charlie:
Wait...

Wait, this is illegal.

It's, like, misuse of government
property or something.

Lucy:
Is that all i am?

Property?

Charlie:
No. Of course not. You're...

Lucy:
I want to feel what humans feel.

Oh, my god,
i could go to jail.

Lucy:
Only if someone tells.

What the hell, charlie?

I mean, like, seriously,
what the hell?!

I was drunk, but i didn't sleep
with her, i stopped it.

I mean, that part of the footage

Is now conveniently missing,
but...
(laughs)

Is that supposed
to make me feel better?

Why are you showing this to me?

Lucy wants me to remove
her expiration date

And if i don't, she's gonna
send that video to the gsc.

She's blackmailing me.

Blackmail? But...

That's way beyond the scope
of her programming.

Actually...

It's not.

I never installed her limiters.

What?

Why?
She...

Without them, she was... Better.

Better at what?

Do you realize what you've done?

Well, you know, if i didn't find
that pyxcube of you and john,

We might not even
be having this conversation.

You know, i always suspected
with you guys,

But just seeing you like that...
Charlie,

I don't have a pyxcube
of me and john.

She must have planted it.

She knew that would be the
easiest way to manipulate me.

Now she's threatening me.

What else
is she capable of?

Ethan said today that
humans aren't to be trusted.

(exhales)

Give you one guess
where he got that from.

Lucy's gone
off the rails, jules.

We need to

Shut her down.

For good.

(insects trilling)

What?

Um...

(ahdu coughing weakly)

Ahdu?

(raspy breathing)

Molly:
Okay.

I got something here

That might help.

Help.

Yeah.

This machine

Is gonna take
your infected blood out

Clean it,

And then put it
back in your body.

Thank you

For staying with him.

(phone ringing)

Hey, baby.

Are you
all right?

Oh, thank god.

It's kelsey.

Yeah.

Okay. So you're home?

Okay.

Okay...

(whirring)

You got what
you wanted:

The release of
your daughter.

Where is molly?

You killed her.

She's dead?

What the hell
did you think was gonna happen?

You exposed her to the virus,
general,

So it's just a matter of time.

You and i, we both know
what she is now.

So, soon, she's just gonna be

Another little notch
on your gun.

Right there next to john woods.

Careful, richter.

John woods was my friend.
Yeah,

And we all know
how you treat your friends.

Old tough call toby, no way,
he would never order

The death of an innocent man.

I won't be patronized
by a deserter.

A man who would rather

Go awol than
follow an order.

(chuckles dryly)

You don't understand honor.

Honor?

You want to talk about honor?

You ordered a drone strike

That wiped out
an entire village

Of innocent civilians

So you could get one terrorist.

And for what?
What'd you gain?

400 yards of mud?

A mountain
of dead bodies?

If that's your idea of honor,
general...

I want no part of it.

What i did won us that war.

You won.

The rest of us
buried our friends.

Who are you to sit there
and judge my actions?

These people-- these hybrids--

Invaded us.

They represent a clear
and present danger to mankind.

So do you.

Your first move

Is to destroy
what you don't understand.

And you know what?

It isn't
that simple.

These...

People...

They are of flesh and blood...

With families.

They have compassion, honor...

And the power to destroy us.

Killing them is the only option.

You seem damn certain
of yourself.

I have to be.
Well...

Certainty is the devil, general.

(whirring quietly)

(footsteps approaching)

Kelsey's home.

I-i should probably
get going.

Is it working?

Well...

I have to give it
a little more time.

(ahdu groaning faintly)

(weakly):
I want to see the stars.

(softly):
Okay.

(sighs)

People are gonna
ask questions.

You mean anna.

We're gonna need
a decent alibi in
shutting lucy down.

More money has gone
into her than most

Fighter jets.
You mean "she went
totes bonkers"

Isn't a good enough reason?

Julie:
Charlie, come on, be serious.

Okay. Let's walk
through this.

As the face
of humanichs,

(over tablet):
We want to use this opportunity
to retrofit lucy

With a new alloy,
a better alloy.

Julie: And we have to take
her back to square one to do it.

Charlie:
Right. I mean, to make her
better, faster, stronger,

We have to shut her down.

Spyder,
send this footage to lucy.

We have to warn her.

Thank you.

For what?

For bringing me...

Here.

I did this to you, ahdu.

I created that virus.

You...

Gave me life.

You gave us

All...

Life.

Briefly.

It's not over, molly.

They're still out there.

I can...

Feel them.

But there are some

You cannot trust.

(groans, grunts)

Ares?

And...

Terra.

Terra?

(faint grunting)

(gasping)

(exhales)

¶ ¶

(softly):
I'm so sorry.

(exhales)

¶ ¶

(coughing)

(coughing)

I sent everyone home.

There's no witnesses.

Good. Lucy's in
standby mode.

Are you sure this is
the right thing to do?

It's the right
thing to do.

Trust me

I can't trust
either of you.

I won't let you kill my sister.

Ethan, whatever you overheard,
you don't understand.

I do understand.

You're going to hurt lucy.

You were supposed to be my bhf.

But she was right--

Humans can't be trusted.
Little man,

You can trust us--
we're family.
Lucy's the only

Real family i have.

You said you wouldn't hurt
a humanich.

I wouldn't.

Then why won't you just fix her?
Ethan,

Something went wrong
in lucy's programming,

And she's malfunctioning
in a very dangerous way.

Charlie:
Sometimes things

Are just... Beyond repair.

The best thing to do
is reboot, start over.

We're not trying to hurt her,
we're trying to help her.

I don't believe you.
You're liars!

Both of you!

Ethan!

I'm gonna go after him.

Just get the job done.
(door closes)

(door opens)

Ethan! Hey!

(panting): Look...

You're upset-- i get it--
but you got to understand,

Lucy is not who
you think she is.

I know who she is--
she's my sister!

Yes, but she's
also something else.

Okay? Something worse.

And it's... My fault.

(molly's labored breathing)

(machine whirring quietly)

(weakly):
You should go.

I'm not gonna
leave you alone like this.

Jd would want me to stay.

Jd?

No word yet.

It's me they want.

And we both know it.

Ethan:
So,

You never put limiters
on her?

Humans have
self-limiters--

Ethics, morals, things
you learn along the way.

But not all humans
are good.

And not all humanichs are good.

See, lucy,
she didn't have what you had--

A loving family,
a lifetime of experience.

All she learned
was how to manipulate,

To get what she wants.

Like how?

Well, like, she tricked you
into running away,

Didn't she?

Filled your head
with all these ideas

About how you can't
trust me or julie. Right?

I mean...

She tricked me, too.

I know this is hard,

Ethan, but...
(sighs heavily)

There are good humans
and there are bad humans,

And there are good humanichs

And there are
bad humanichs.

Lucy is one of the bad ones.

Lucy:
Hello, julie.

Doesn't feel good,
does it?
(gasps)

Not when the decision of
whether you live or die is
in the hands of someone else.

(gasps, chokes)

Lucy, stop. Please.

Stop.
My good little soldier

Told me what you
were planning.

I won't let you kill me.

And ethan told me
about your legs.

He thinks it makes you
more like us, but...

You're nothing like us.
(gasps)

You're only human.

Julie!

Let her go!

(gasping)

(gasping)
good-bye, julie.

(panting)

(trembling breaths)

What did i do?

You saved my life.

¶ ¶

Molly.

You wanted me, toby.

You got me.

(panting)

Help me.

Oh, god, what have
i done to you?
