- "I had no idea it was going to end in such tragedy."
- ―Paul Ironhorse
"Vengeance Is Mine" is the twentieth episode of the 1st season of the War of the Worlds TV series.
Plot[]
Ironhorse must deal with a mistake that no soldier wants to make: the killing of an innocent civilian. Meanwhile, the aliens resort to robbery to acquire the rubies they need to power a new line of laser weapons.
Synopsis[]
The aliens rob armored trucks to buy rubies for laser weapons.
Ironhorse accidentally kills a woman named Sarah Cole. Shaken, he is sent off to recuperate and is later captured by Sarah's vengeful husband Martin, using a remote-controlled model helicopter bearing explosives. Ironhorse escapes, persuading Martin to help defeat the "terrorists" who are really responsible.
