Now he’s in real trouble, especially since the Gua will probably join the hunt. Taking a hostage is a desperate move, but he can’t trust anybody.

Looking around her kitchen, he finds a knife. He cuts her hand, and she bleeds normally – she’s human.

He applies a bandage to the cut and apologizes for hurting her. As he looks out the window for cops, the woman begins working at her bonds.

He flips on the television. A newscaster updates viewers on the manhunt, reminding them that Cade killed his wife and is a suspect in five other murders.

"It’s not true," Cade tells the woman.

A cop stops a man on the street and asks for his identification. Discovering the man is a bounty hunter, the cop encourages him to move along.

As he moves along, the bounty hunter spots Cade’s dropped cell phone. He checks the last number dialed.

Picking up, Eddie warns Cade that the line he’s using isn’t secure. Elsewhere, the bounty hunter begins tracing the number he got from the cell phone.

Cade wants to use "contingency #1", but Eddie counsels him to stay hidden until night falls. He can hack into the police dispatch system and slip Cade out during a shift change.

As they talk, the bounty hunter succeeds in tapping the line, overhearing most of the conversation.

Lena Hansen breaks free and runs for the door. Cade catches up with her and drags her back.

As he ties her up again, he promises that he will leave at nightfall without harming her. He doesn’t gag her this time.

Eddie breaks into the dispatch system. He begins tracking the movement of the police cars, looking for an opening.

Lena asks him why he killed his wife, and Cade tries to explain that he was framed.

On the television, the newscast blames him for robbing a jewelry store during his escape from the police. Lena realizes that Cade was in the car with her when the robbery happened.

It’s typical, Cade tells her.

"Authorities lie," he says. "The newspapers lie, it’s all one big fabrication."

"This time we’re going to do things my way," he says. "To catch a human, we’ll use a human."

The bounty hunter – whose name is Hatcher – calls a friend in the police. He wants to learn the location of Eddie’s phone.

Cade has lost a lot of blood, and he’s having trouble standing. Lena’s mother was a nurse, and she offers to wrap and sterilize the wound.

He frees her, and she examines him. A few well-placed bandages reduce the injury to an inconvenience.

Lena’s neighbor Corey knocks on the door. She wants to warn Lena that the "nutcase" has been sighted in the neighborhood.

Lena thanks Corey for her concern and closes the door on her.

Elsewhere, Hatcher’s friend has traced Eddie’s location, though Eddie’s unregistered phone taps made it difficult.

Terence gives Joshua advice. "People are saying your strategy regarding 117 is reactionary," he says.

Joshua tells his assistant that he respects Subject 117, a concept Terence can’t understand.

It’s the respect of one soldier for another, Joshua explains. Terence looks doubtful, and Joshua asks him, "You’ve never fought in a real war, have you?"

Trying to understand why she’s being held captive, Lena asks Cade why he was framed.

"What would you do," Cade asks, "if this entire building was on fire and everyone was still asleep?" Cade’s trying to wake everybody up, but instead they’re blaming him for setting the fire.

When she asks him what the fire is, he tells her to check out the Paranoid Times web site.

In his trailer, Eddie continues to study the police cordon. Hatcher breaks in and demands to know where Cade Foster is.

"I was hoping we could do this friendly," he says, and grabs Eddie in a most unfriendly fashion.

Lena reads the website in her apartment. She finds the idea of an alien invasion "insane."

She’s a bit more sympathetic than Hatcher is, though. As Cade looks out the window, she asks him if he misses his wife.

Cade says he does, though it bothers him that he can’t picture her face clearly anymore. "It seems like another lifetime," he says.

She offers to make some food, and they talk about the prophecies that guide Cade and Eddie.

There’s another knock on the door. It’s Corey again, but she’s got company.

A man with a pistol introduces himself as "Detective Nealy." He’s looking for Cade, and he’d like to search her apartment.

Nealy pushes his way into the apartment, saying that Corey reported a man who looked like the fugitive. Lena claims that her friend "Mark" has already left, but Nealy spots the two plates she had set out for dinner.

He finds Cade in the darkroom, and orders him out at gunpoint. He knocks Cade to the ground as they leave the room, but Cade rolls with it and comes up shooting.

Nealy stares at the bullet wound in his chest for a moment and dissolves.

Cade tells Lena, "That’s an alien." Cops don’t have silencers on their guns.

Hatcher repeatedly dunks Eddie in a barrel of water. Eddie refuses to give up Cade’s location, and tries to convince Hatcher that the bounty hunter is working for aliens.

Terence reports to Joshua that a Gua fringe group made an assassination attempt on Cade. The assassin hasn’t returned.

Joshua says, "Tell them not to wait up for their killer."

Lena asks Cade how he can go on. He says he can’t give up, and that maybe the people he convinces give him strength.

"You must be so alone," she says.

"Sometimes I don’t even know what I’m fighting for," he agrees.

She begins to kiss him, but they’re interrupted when a helicopter zooms by.

Hatcher continues to dunk Eddie, and Eddie continues to rant about aliens.

"Next time I hold you down for good," Hatcher warns him. Eddie still refuses to betray Cade’s location, and Hatcher holds him down in the water.

The phone rings, and when Hatcher picks it up, he sees the Caller ID of "Lena Hansen." He says nothing, and hangs up.

"Thanks for the help," he tells Eddie. He knocks the half-drowned sidekick out and leaves.

Cade is worried that Eddie didn’t answer, but Lena reassures him. "You’re too hard on yourself," she tells him.

He’s says, "It’s what keeps me alive."

They kiss. "It’s been a very long time," he warns her, and they go to bed.

Terence has news: Acolyte agents have been dispatched to deal with Cade. Joshua tells him to alert the hunter.

Terence rebels, accusing Joshua of having too many doubts to lead effectively. "Foster is an embarrassment to our race," he says.

"Do your job," Joshua growls.

Cade and Lena enjoy the afterglow. In a moment of optimism, Cade tells her, "Soon I won’t be fighting this war alone."

Lena has more questions about the prophecies. Cade explains that the Gua haven’t killed him because they want to get the book of Nostradamus, and she asks where it is.

Eddie calls with good news and bad news: the police perimeter is shifting, but a bounty hunter is on the way. It’s time to Cade to run again.

Lena wants to go with him, but Cade tells her it’s too dangerous. He thanks her for "reminding me of what I’m fighting for."

Two Gua agents enter the building. Hatcher parks in front of it and follows.

As they come up the stairs, the agents shoot Corey. As Cade goes to investigate the gunshot, Lena begs him to tell her where the book is – "in case something happens."

As a terrible suspicion grows in Cade’s mind, the Gua agents burst in and put a gun to his head. Lena is furious, claiming she almost had the information.

"You took too long," they tell her.

Turning her attention back to Cade, Lena promises him that the Gua won’t kill him if he hands over the book.

Hatcher approaches. Hearing him, the Gua whirl around with guns drawn.

The bounty hunter reacts instantly. He shoots them, and they dissolve.

"He was right," Hatcher says, staring in amazement at the remains. "That damn Crazy Eddie was right."

Lena tries pretending to be a hostage again, but Hatcher doesn’t believe her. He asks Cade, "Is she one of them?"

"She’s human," Cade tells him. "The aliens hired her to trick me."

"Bringing you in would have set me up for life," Hatcher complains. He shrugs and walks away, leaving Cade with Lena.

Lena tells Cade that she set him up because she needed the money. She promises to help him now, saying that she’ll do anything for the cause.

"When you’re alone," Cade tells her, "ask yourself if it was worth it."

Disgusted, he leaves.

"Calling in Acolytes was a mistake," Joshua tells Terence. He had an agent monitor Terence’s phone -- Terence called in the agents instead of calling the bounty hunter.

As Joshua makes the full extent of his displeasure clear, Cade reunites with Eddie. They grab each other in a manly hug, and Eddie asks him what happened.

Cade replies, "Heaven and Hell, my friend, all in the same day."
