"No Direction Home" is the second episode of the 2nd season of the War of the Worlds TV series.
Plot[]
After the destruction of the Cottage, the team finds a new base of operations to continue the fight against the Morthren.
Synopsis[]
Kincaid takes the others to his underground home, an abandoned military command point.
The aliens also move their headquarters, accidentally abandoning an "engram" which Harrison and Kincaid find. Suzanne determines that it is a memory transfer device. It gives them a vision of Malzor and Mana, who likewise see them.
Meanwhile, Father Tim is captured and cloned. He returns to his street mission where Ralph, a disturbed vagrant, instinctively senses Father Tim's "wrongness" and makes a scene which Kincaid sees on his monitor. Kincaid investigates and realizes the truth. Harrison and Suzanne take the engram to the mission, confronting the clone and his soldiers. They destroy the engram which, in turn, kills the clone.
Notes[]

Quotes[]
- Father Tim: Dear God, save me.
- Mana: God. What does it mean?
- Ardix: It's their idea of the Eternal. This is their sacred text, a mad confusion of myth and contradiction. Their god is invisible.
- Mana: Invisible?
- Ardix: [examining a Bible] The god these humans worship is invisible. They can't see it.
- Malzor: [referring to the Eternal] We also have a god. And it is not invisible.
- Father Tim clone: Friends. Today, I'd like to talk about conflict. There's a lot of conflict in this world. But throughout the Good Book, the Lord instructs us to kill our enemies.
- Ex-Biker: I thought you're supposed to love those who really hate you.
- Father Tim clone: Are you sure?
- Ex-Biker: Word of God, ain't it?
- Father Tim clone: But God says smite down your enemies, an eye for an eye.
