S02E14 The Heist

Feeling bitter after a friend's betrayal derailed his military career, Lee Taylor teams up with a self-proclaimed militia leader to seize an Army shipment. However, the outcome is far more lethal than anticipated. The militia, which includes Lee's brother Calvin, anticipated a load of missiles but instead discovers a sealed crate and a solitary Army Guard. Captain Teri Washington, facing imminent death, refuses to disclose what’s inside, warning that it’s dangerous. The major dismisses her claims until an alien creature launches a terrifying series of attacks. As chaos ensues, discipline falters, and alliances are put to the test.
