All language subtitles for Seeds.of.Destruction.2011.BluR

Man: And we're rolling, sir.

Note that this time, the XO-359
had a spontaneous reaction

to the impurities released
by the cigarette smoke.

This is- this is very good.

This is a very good sign
of progress.

My God.

Carbon monoxide, zero.

Ammonia, zero.

Nitrogen dioxide, zero.

All airborne impurities
were completely eliminated

in a matter of seconds.

This is...

This is astonishing.

The plant has created pure air.

I don'! know, okay?

It doesn't look like
anyone's dumping today.

I thought you were committed
to catching these polluters,

Mr. Not-Gonna-Happen-On-My-Watch.

Yeah, I am.
I am.

But that was before
my leg fell asleep

and my obsessive girlfriend
deprived me of food.

Some bastard
is egregiously polluting

this mine with toxic waste.

Look, if we don't catch them
in the act, Joe,

they're gonna ruin
this whole area.

There'll be acidic seepage
in the drinking water,

and wildlife
will start dying off, and-

I know, I know.
Okay.

I'm sorry.

Joe: I don't know
what I was thinking.

Hey, we've got company.

Joe:
We got you now, buddy.

Woman:
He looks nervous.

Here, come on.

Kyle.

It's good to see you again.

Joe: Aguy in a suit
coming out of a mine?

You gotta be kidding me.

Something's wrong
with this picture, all right.

You came alone, right?

What does it look like?

Keep focused, Kyle.

The sooner you show me the product,
the sooner we can get out of here.

- That the money?
- 'Course.

Show me.

This guy's definitely
not dumping waste.

Well, whatever's going on
doesn't look kosher.

You think it's drugs?

We'll see soon enough.

Now you show me something.

Relax.

It's a demonstration.

Why'd that guy cut himself?

M- maybe this is, like,

some secret cult gathering
or something.

I doubt that.

That guy in a suit
looks like a federal agent.

I'm impressed.

Do you have the seed?

Wait here.

Whoa.

- There's a sniper up there.
- Where?

Right there
on the platform.

- Oh, my God.
- What?

He spotted us.

Man on radio:
Sir, I've got eyes on two bogeys.

- Where?
- 10:00, behind the concrete block.

Who are your friends, Kyle?

Oh, my Revs-

You trying to set us up?

What are you talking about?

- You wearing a wire?
- No.

Let me go.

Give me the seed.

Joe:
He's not looking.

Whoa.
All right, let's get out of here.

Man on radio:
Sir, they're on the move.

Do I take them out?

KY leg

Man on radio:
Take out primary target.

Was that a gunshot?

Oh, my God.
They shot him.

What is that?

Joe: An earthquake.

What?

Woman:
Let's get out of here!

Ah- slower, please.

You might damage
the specimen.

There you are.

Aren't you remarkably
well-preserved?

Specimen 37 is bell-shaped.
Slightly charred.

With signs of extensive hydrolysis.

Preliminary analysis
leads me to believe

it's Helianthus annuus.

Another sunflower seed.

Look, I don't see anything.

Oh, my God.
That was crazy.

Joe, what the heck
was that?

I don't know. I've never seen
anything like that before.

It looked like some kind of
giant root, right?

I don't know.

But whatever just happened,
people have to know about it.

Well, it looks like
someone's on it.

You gotta be kidding me.

Joe: Watch out.
Get in the car.

Get in the car.

Joe: Kate!

Joe:
Kate, get in the car!

Kate, get in the car.
Now!

Sir...

Noel, I've asked you
to move slowly

when you're in the garden.

Plants are very sensitive.

Sir, you need
to see the news.

Newscaster:
You are seeing live footage

of what appear to be
gigantic roots

devastating the remote deserts
of Nevada.

I just verified one of
the seed stock is missing.

And I couldn't find Kyle.

He's not on the premises.

Damn him.

Those seeds weren't ready
to be released

into an uncontrolled
environment.

Woman:
Who are these guys?

Where do they think
they're going?

Woman: Hey, buddy.
No, stop!

Man:
Hey, what are you doing?

Slop!

Slop!

What do you think you're doing?

You just trampled over
a prehistoric refuse pit.

Isn't it an old garbage dump?

Very old.

Dr. Stein, I'm Special Agent
Jack Tompkins.

We need you to come with us.
It's a matter of national security.

National security?
Are you kidding?

- Did I do something wrong?
- Please get in the car.

We don't have
much time to waste.

Are you sure
you have the right Dr. Stein?

I study plant remains.

You may have knowledge pertaining
to a geological catastrophe

unfolding in Nevada.

Now will you please
get in the car?

Jeremy Frame
and Matthew Kyle.

When's the last time
you had contact

with either one
of these gentlemen?

Three years ago.

Dr. Frame hired Kyle
and I to work on

a seed excavation in Turkey.

What kind of seeds?

I don't understand.
What does this have to do

with a geological disaster?

We have reason to believe
this disaster could be man-made.

Well, which is it?
Geological or man-made?

Could be both.

What kind of seeds?

Seeds from the Garden of Eden.

As in...

- the Garden of Eden.
- That's right.

You seriously believe
such seeds can exist?

I wouldn't have spent my time
looking for them if I didn't.

Okay.

Frame found lost passages
in the Dead Sea Scrolls

indicating that,
after Adam and Eve

were banished
from the garden,

Adam stole seeds in an urn
to replant a new garden.

But a flood hit
and the seeds were lost.

Stein: So Frame
got funding for me to dig

in an unmapped area
below the 11,000-year-old site

of Gobekli Tepe,

the prehistoric temple believed
to be the location of Eden.

I think we found something.

Kyle:
An intact Neolithic vessel.

This is amazing.

Aren't you dying
to take a quick peek?

Don't even think about it, Kyle.

This can only be opened
in an airtight lab.

Unbelievable.

Stern: One week later,
I got a call from Frame.

Frame: Jocelyn, I'm afraid
we have some bad news.

We've lost our funding.

Why? What about the urn?

Frame: The um was empty.
There was nothing inside.

But there was.
I heard something.

It was just...

chipped pottery.

Frame:
I'm truly sorry.

Where's Frame now?

I have no idea.
He's a bit of a recluse.

I never knew
where he was based.

Do you know what Frame was planning
on doing with these seeds?

Recreate the Garden of Eden.

Oh, man.
This isn't good.

No.

Now what?

Joe.

You're in danger!

Go!
Get out of here now!

Get in, get in.
Hold on.

- What are you doing?
- Just hold on.

Kate:
Joe, where are you going?

This is crazy.

What agency is this?

- Welcome to SCOPE.
- SCOPE?

- Never heard of it.
- We keep a low profile.

Our mandate
is to investigate threats

that fall outside the scope
of known science.

Hence the catchy name.

Man: Got new data from Skynet 2
and Skynet 3.

You're gonna have to put that away.

Got real-time satellite imagery.

Tompkins: You're looking at infrared
of Pershing County, Nevada.

This is what's going on
right now?

Stein:
What is it?

Tompkins: Our recon discovered
massive root growth,

spreading at a rate
of up to 30 miles per hour,

destroying everything in its path
as we speak.

And you think Kyle and Frame
are responsible for this?

Yes, we do.

Dr. Stein,
I'm Director Wilson.

We picked up information
that Frame was conducting

what sounded like
a preposterous experiment.

Recreating the Garden of Eden
using prehistoric seeds

from the original garden
in order to sanitize the planet.

How did you
get this information?

Our intel picked up
correspondence

between Kyle
and an interested party.

Seems your buddy's
trying to sell those ancient seeds

on the black market.

Well, that's impossible.
We never found the seeds.

Unless-

Tompkins:
So Frame lied to you.

Any idea why he'd want you
off the project?

I don't know.

Where's Kyle?

We don't know where he is.

But we are pursuing leads
to his whereabouts.

And what about Frame?

Well, we haven't
found him yet.

His so-called
Garden of Eden

was being developed
in a secret location

somewhere in Nevada.

Joe's voice: Kate, get in the car.

Oh, my God.
This...

This is surreal.

- What are those things?
- I don't know.

I don't know. I can't believe we
just saw all those people get killed.

We need to go
to the authorities and tell them

what we saw happen
at the mine.

Look.

We're not going
to the authorities, okay?

Those guys we saw at the mine,
they looked like Feds.

So what if this is some

government test gone haywire?

I mean, what happens to us
when powerful people

try to cover their tracks?

A lot of people
are getting killed.

So until we know
who's involved,

we don't know
who we can trust.

Okay.

If we do this,
we go all the way.

- Whatever it takes.
- Yep.

All right, the first thing
we need to do

is we need to figure out
where that van came from.

Kate:
I have an idea.

What do you want from me?

I'm not saying
we buy into this whole

"Garden of Eden" thing.

But if these seeds,
in fact, are prehistoric

and have something
to do with it,

we need to know.

And right now
you are our only lead.

Incredible.

I've never seen
a root system develop

on such a massive scale before.

Yeah, well,
you're not alone.

At least the outbreak
is in a remote area.

Now, break it down for me.

Give it to me in science-ese.

Tompkins:
Talk to me like I'm five.

A scientific explanation
for what's happening.

I warned Frame
there was a danger

to awakening
a prehistoric plant

in today's toxic world.

Stein: I don't have
an explanation yet, but...

you can't ignore the warnings
in the Bible.

And I can't formulate
a game plan

for fighting a disaster
based on a fable.

The Bible may be a fable to you,
Agent Tompkins,

but archeologists have found
evidence that events it depicts

have actually occurred
throughout history.

Jack, there's
a new development.

You need to see this.

G- L-9-4-3-X.

- What's that?
- License plate.

- Kate: On the van.
- Yeah? Really?

Okay, well...

now we need someone
to hack into the DMV.

Both: Spit.

Wilson:
We were lucky until now,

but the growth just picked up speed
near Pyramid Lake.

In less than three hours,
this disaster's gonna hit

its first major city.

Bob, Reno needs
to be evacuated.

- That's not your call, Jack.
- Well, then call the President.

This thing is destroying
everything in its path.

The fatalities are gonna
be staggering, Bob.

Okay,
we're talking about evacuating

half a million people
in a matter of hours.

Wilson:
It can't be done.

You wanna save these people?

Stop the damn roots.

I:Pit!
Pit!

- Spit, buddy. You in there?
- You there?

Hope the air in there
is breathable this time.

Yeah, don't count on it.
Spit.

HEY-

Hey, man.
What are you guys doing here?

Don't you know what's going on?
Have you seen the freakin' news?

Yeah, yeah. We know, man.
We need your help.

We need you
to track a plate for us.

Tompkins:
Listen, we're running out of time.

This thing is effectively
still just a plant, right?

So why don't we kill it
like you would a weed?

Dump a bunch
of herbicide on it?

Herbicides work too slowly.

The feeder roots
are growing too fast and we'd need

thousands of gallons immediately.

What's a feeder root?

It's the root tip,
where the growth occurs.

So if we cut the root tips
leading to this thing,

we can stop its growth.

It could cripple
the entire system.

That's what we'll do.

Sever the root tip.
We'd launch a surgical air strike,

- we knock this thing out.
- There's a catch.

If the root recovers,
you risk having it regrow...

and multiply.

We don't have a choice.

Get me the President.

We don't have much time here, Spit.
You in yet?

Give me a minute, man.

Oh, my God.

Kate:
Joe, you feel that, right?

Okay, come on, Spit, man.
Let's go. It's coming.

I'm offline.

I lost connection.

- Well, we gotta go now.
- No, we need that address.

Can you get back on?

- Oh- cable got knocked out.
- Yes.

Okay, we have
to leave right now.

Seconds away.

Come on.
We're running out of time.

- I'm in.
- Here.

The plate number.

G- L-9-4-3-X. Come on.

Kate: Hurry, Spit.

Spit: Almost there, Katie.
Just a few seconds.

Come on, come on.

There's your registrant
and address.

- Alamut Corp Industries.
- Got it.

- Let's take my truck.
- Go.

Wait.

I've got to get my cat, man.

- No, no, no! No!
- No!

- Whoa.
- Spit!

Whoa!

Spit.

- Get in the truck.
- Kate: Okay.

This is Ace One.

We're 10 miles out
and coming in low with 3-6-0.

Joe, look.

Joe: Oh, my God.

I think they're
gonna bomb it.

We gotta get out of here.

Pilot on radio:
Approaching targets. ETA 60 seconds.

Initiating separation.

Kate:
This doesn't look good.

We're right
in their line of fire.

We have visual confirmation
on target.

Going weapons hot.
Engaging in 20 seconds.

Can't this thing go any faster?

This thing's
an old piece of crap.

Joe:
I'm flooring it already.

I have missile lock.

Pilot:
Firing in five, four,

three, two, one.

Engage.

Oh, my God.
They've fired.

- Drive faster!
- I'm trying to!

Pilot:
Command, we have a direct hit.

Waiting for debris to clear
to verify destruction of targets.

Have visual verification.

Targets destroyed.
I repeat, targets destroyed.

Wilson:
Okay, that's a kill.

Good work, everyone.

- Nicely done.
- Nice work, Jack.

Poor Spit.

All right.
We're gonna get these bastards.

All right?

Joe:
Whoever caused this.

Jack?

Look at the screen.

Patch me through
to the lead pilot.

Here, sir.

- This is Director Wilson speaking.
- Pilot: Yes, sir.

I need another visual confirmation
of the target's destruction.

Roger, sir.
Give us a moment to double back.

Slow down, Joe.
There's a driveway ahead.

Joe: Is this it?
I don't see an address.

That's got to be it, Joe.

There's nothing else
around here.

All right, well,
let's go down the road.

See if we can find a way
to sneak in.

Approaching visual range.

Pilot: Target remains.

I repeat, target remains.

Sir, I've got eyes
on multiple targets now.

Pilot:
This thing is spreading.

Stein:
It's been burrowing.

It's regenerating exponentially.

Not only that.
Look at where it's headed.

Right here.

Sir, confirming new target
inbound on Carson City.

Okay, engage target.

I repeat, you blast that monstrosity
with everything you've got.

Roger, sir.
Changing vector.

Pilot: ETA one minute
to new target.

The bombing isn't working.
It's only making it worse.

Stern:
You have to stop them.

Pilot:
Going weapons hot.

45 seconds out.

Baker and Charlie,
follow my lead to picking targets.

Pilot #2: Roger.

Target confirmed.

You gotta cancel this, Bob.

- Are you questioning me?
- Nope.

But she's right.

If we bomb this thing again,
it's just gonna get bigger.

We gotta think
this thing through.

This thing is headed here.

I don't know how much time we've got
to think it through.

Pilot: Eagle flight.
Entering debris cloud.

- Pilot: Visibility near zero.
- Bob...

We've got multiple bogeys
on radar.

Command,
Eagle Baker is down!

I repeat,
Eagle Baker is down!

Eagle One, clarify.

It's this debris cloud, sir.

Sir, the roots
are erupting all around us

and they are massive.

Command,
Eagle Charlie is down.

I repeat,
Eagle Charlie is down!

Pilot: Command, I've got too many
bogeys to complete the mission.

Okay, abort mission.
I repeat, abort mission.

Roger.
I'm getting out of here.

Oh, my God.
No!

Woman:
Eagle One, come in.

Woman:
Eagle One, come in.

Woman: Eagle One,
confirm status.

All right, we gotta get
out of harm's way.

Is there any way to predict
this thing's movement?

Growing roots usually take
the path of least resistance.

We'd be safer
at a higher elevation.

All right, let's move.

Okay, people.
Pack it up.

I'm calling a full evacuation.
Head for the transports.

We're moving out.

This has to be it.

They really
don't want visitors, do they?

- Yeah. That's barbed wire.
- Here.

Here we go.
Here, I'll lift you up.

Okay, ready?
One, two, three.

Noel, we have trespassers
at the northwest perimeter.

Frame: At C Gate.

I'll get security on it
right away, sir.

Oh, my God.

Wha-.

Joe?

God.
All right, go! Go!

Get off the fence!

Get off!

Okay.
Okay.

Watch out.

Man on P.A.:
Please evacuate the facility.

Follow the exit path.

Get down!

Kate: Joe!

Kate:
Joe, it's coming.

Wilson: Jack!

Joe, hurry!

Kate: Get up there!

Joe!

Kate, get out of here.

Go! Kate, go!

I'm not leaving you.
Hang on, Joe.

Jack!

Follow Datsun and stay low.

- Datsun!
- Dr. Stein, come on!

Kate:
Joe, Joe!

Kate:
You gotta get up there, now.

Joe, are you okay?

Yeah.
Yeah.

That's weird.
It just suddenly stopped.

Yeah.

What do you think
that means?

I don't know.

But let's not stick around
in case it starts again.

Okay.

- What happened?
- Incredible.

The growth was diverted.

Our garden has repelled
the hostile roots.

Held them back.

- Noel: But they're still spreading.
- Frame: Yes.

They're in a hypermetabolic state.

If I can find a way to reduce
the rate of cell division,

I can slow them down,
control them.

Like the plants
in our garden.

Frame: This work must
not be disturbed,

so you must be sure
to secure the grounds.

It's only a matter of time
before others discover

this is the only safe haven
in the country.

Woman on radio: Remote base
should be up and running in 20 minutes.

Copy that.
ETA 20 minutes.

Mobile unit's waiting for us
40 miles north up the mountain.

Is that elevation
gonna be high enough?

It should be.

- Any idea what our casualties were?
- Tompkins: Substantial.

Doctor, I need to know everything
you know about these seeds.

Is there anything in the Bible,
the Dead Sea Scrolls,

anything at all that can help us
fight this disaster?

There is a warning in the Bible.

From the Book of Isaiah.

"The earth mourns
and withers,

befouled by its
inhabitants.

Hence a curse
devours the earth,

and those who live upon it. "

How does that apply to us?
What does that mean exactly?

Are you starting to get
your faith back, Jack?

I don't hear our science agencies
coming up with any answers.

The seeds are from Eden,
a time when the earth was pure.

Stein:
Before pollution.

I think the Bible was warning us
to take care of Mother Earth

or face her wrath.

What are you saying?

That's why they regenerated
into something bigger

after we bombed them.

Right. The more toxins we throw at it,
the bigger it's gonna get.

To cleanse the earth.

We're not gonna beat this thing
by fighting it head-on.

We gotta find an angle.

Well, the answers
we need are in there.

You see an entrance?

Joe: Bingo.

Guard on walkie-talkie:
Copy that, Team 2.

- Come here, come here.
- What?

There's someone out there.

Guard on walkie-talkie:
Team one, check in.

- Team, go on to zone five.
- Kate: He's got a gun.

- He's coming this way.
- Really?

Yeah.

Go, go.
Now!

- Whoa!
Go, go, go, go!

Why are they shooting at us?

I don't know.
You wanna stop and ask them?

Doctor, the chopper
will be here soon.

That'll give us a better look
than that satellite imagery.

They just confirmed, sir.

Man:
Reno's being devastated.

Jack, look.

The root growth has been destroying
everything in its path.

Except here.

Why would it skip this area?

It's the same elevation as
everything else it's destroyed, right?

Good question.

- We need to go there and find out.
- Right.

I think we've got something here.

Understood.

Doesn't matter.
We're moving on.

- Changing course.
- Changing course?

Operation Safeguard's in effect.

- Sir?
- What is Operation Safeguard?

It's the evacuation
of all Cabinet personnel

to a fallout shelter
in the Colorado mountains.

Don't you think that's a bit premature?
This crisis has just begun.

The President's science advisors
ran computer simulations.

In one week, the whole country
will be consumed.

And in 24 hours,
Cheyenne Mountain

and Colorado
will be inaccessible.

Okay, that gives us
24 hours to fight it.

That's exactly what I and the
Administration will be doing.

But from the safety
of the shelter.

We need to protect the executive branch
of government.

- You know that.
- Look.

The destruction has skipped
this entire area for some reason.

We need to get there,
find out why.

It might hold the answer
on how to stop this thing.

And what if it doesn't?

What then?

It's a waste of precious time.

Hiding in the mountains.
That's a better use of our time.

The plan is to get out of harm's way
until we can come up with a solution.

That's absurd.
On whose orders?

The President's.

We've been assigned to join the team
at Cheyenne Mountain.

Military transport
will be here in 30 minutes.

You can choose to be on it
or you can risk your life on a hunch.

Your choice.

Dr. Stein, you're
more than welcome to join us.

After all, we need
to protect great minds.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Joe, what...

Whoa.

Kate: It's beautiful.

What- what is this place?

What do you think
they're hiding?

Something they don'!
want us to find.

Not if they're shooting at us.

Maybe we should leave, Joe.

This is getting dangerous.

You're bleeding.

Oh, my God.
You're shot.

It's just a graze.
Don't worry about it.

No, that looks serious, Joe.
You need medical attention.

Yeah, well, that's not
gonna happen.

Besides, I'm not leaving until we
get proof to nail these guys.

Okay?

Okay.

Try to stop the bleeding
with this.

- Okay.
- You're no good to me if you're dead.

Okay, we gotta lose these guys.
Let's go.

You want to explain to me
what's going on, Bob?

As far as I know, our responsibility
is to protect this country,

regardless of the risks.

We were trying
to protect this country.

What are you talking about?

- We screwed up today, Jack.
- What do you mean "we"?

SCOPE had a covert team
in the field

when this thing went haywire.

What were they doing out there?

Securing the seeds from Kyle.

You're kidding me.

Those seeds
are a security threat.

Once we had credible evidence
of their existence,

we had no choice
but to pursue possession of them.

Why wasn't I told about this?

I couldn't talk about it.
It was top secret.

Top secret?
Screw top secret.

You hid a vital piece of intel

when millions of people's lives
were at stake.

Bob.

That's how the game's played, Jack.
You know that.

It's not a game.

There's real people out here
losing their lives.

Transport will be here
in 10 minutes.

You can still join us.

Give the President my regards.

- Where are you going?
- To clean up the mess you made.

There's an answer here.

We just have to
find out what it is.

Couldn't agree more.

Where exactly are we going?

You're not coming.

This could be a one-way ticket.

I want you to stay here
and wait for the transport, okay?

- All right.
- You take care of your family, Datsun.

Thank you.
Good luck, Jack.

- Doctor.
- Be safe.

Tompkins:
Keep your head down.

This is where we're going.

Put your headset on.

Pilot: Stand by for lift off.

Tompkins: Copy that.

Joe!

Hey, look.
We need to get you help.

Yeah, from who?

From those
trigger-happy lunatics?

Okay, maybe we can find
a first-aid kit somewhere.

Kate...

Kate...

What's happening to me?

You're healing.

This doesn't make any sense.
How?

It's the leaf.

Something in the leaf
healed you.

- I can't believe it.
- Would you stop that?

Sorry. It hurts?

No, um, I'm ticklish.

This is no ordinary garden.

No, it's certainly not.

Can you smell the air?
It's so fresh, so pure.

No time to smell the roses.
Let's go.

Datsun:
Sir, you need to see this.

- What's happening?
- Movement.

It's coming at us fast.

What are you talking about?

I thought we were safe
at this elevation.

Not anymore, sir.

Root growth just erupted
around Lake Tahoe.

The disaster's really picking up steam.
It's spreading everywhere.

How long before transport arrives?

I'm unable to make contact
with them.

Okay, what do you mean
you can't make contact?

Man: Whoa, whoa.

We need to evacuate
right now.

- Let's go.
- You guys get out of here!

Soldier: Move, move,
move, people!

Datsun:
I don't see it following us yet.

Look out!

Reverse.
Reverse! Get us out of here!

Datsun:
I can't. It's behind us.

Kate:
I don't see him.

All right, come on.

Whoa.

What do you think's
going on here?

I don't know.

Joe: But this has got to be
where those roots came from.

Look at that.

- Are those seeds?
- Yeah.

That's cold.

They're keeping
these seeds dormant.

- Why?
- I have no idea.

Go, go, go, go.

You people better pray this area
we're going to hasn't been affected.

'Cause no way can I land
this thing anywhere else.

And depending on how fast
those roots spread,

we may not have enough fuel
to get clear.

Let's pray for a miracle.

Good luck with that.

You don't believe
in miracles?

Six months ago, my wife and daughter
were involved in a car accident.

My wife died instantly.

My daughter was in a coma
for four weeks.

I prayed by her bedside
every night

to any god who would listen.

Then my child died.

So, no.

I don't believe
anybody's looking after us.

What was that?

The world needs to see
this footage, Joe.

Yeah.

We got enough evidence
to nail them.

Let's go.

Tompkins: These seeds
Frame is using in his experiments,

if they're in fact
from the Garden of Eden,

what exactly is it
we're gonna find down there?

If Frame did recreate the garden
and we find it,

it'll be miraculous.

It's been said "He who walks
among the garden

shall have
the healing power of gods. "

I just don't know that
my belief system's ready

to take that big of a leap.

Well, regardless
of the seeds' origin,

do you have any idea
what this means if we find them?

The miraculous good
they can do for the earth?

Are you nuts?

These seeds need
to be destroyed immediately.

- Destroyed?
- Yes.

I don't think so,
Agent Tompkins.

These seeds are
the greatest find in history.

Everything you've ever read
in a science hook

is going to change.

These seeds are
the single greatest threat

mankind has ever seen.

That's because the roots
are out of control.

If we can modify the seeds,

they have the power
to revitalize the earth,

the power
to regrow rain forests

and areas inflicted
with droughts.

Nothing on earth
has such powers.

Tompkins:
They're too dangerous, Doctor.

All I see is my country
being destroyed.

The irony is, we started it.

What are you talking about?

SCOPE was involved
in a covert op that went bad.

That's how
the seeds got out.

Federal agents were trying
to get their hands on them.

Why didn't you
tell me this before?

I didn't know about it
until Bob told me a half an hour ago.

The roots stem from
an original embryonic root.

The taproot.

If he knows exactly
where the seeds began growing,

we might be able to stop them
by killing the taproot.

Contact SCOPE.

I need to talk
to Director Wilson.

Yes, sir.

Good news, Noel.

I created a serum that can lower
the metabolism of the roots.

Does that mean we can stop
the overgrowth?

If we can find
the original embryonic root,

we can put it to sleep
and bring it here.

Analysis of the taproot
can tell us

what went wrong,
how it mutated,

and how we can prevent such
a catastrophe from happening again.

Come on, come on.

- Guard: Hey!
- Go! Run, run!

- Sir?
- Yeah.

I've just learned
SCOPE'S mobile unit

was taken out
just after we left.

- Are they sure?
- Pilot: Yes.

Pilot: Reports are the whole
Tahoe area has been destroyed.

Guard on walkie-talkie:
Intruders are northwest of me.

Shoot on sight.
Shoot on sight.

Oh, God.

Don't- don't stop.
Go, go, go, go, go

How much further?

I think I see it up ahead.

That's incredible.

That forest is like an oasis.

It's completely untouched.

Any idea what would've
kept it so insulated?

Stein:
If it's Frame's property,

he's certain
to have modified the plants.

But I'll have no way of knowing
until we get down there and investigate.

- You okay?
- I can't run anymore.

Okay, that's okay.
I think we lost them.

I can't believe I lost
that damn camera.

We have to go back
and get that video, Joe.

The- that video
is the only proof we have.

No, no way.
It's too risky.

Besides,
they probably found it.

Maybe they didn't. Maybe it's just
lying there on the ground.

You hear that?

Yeah.

Hide. Hide.

Man, these guys
just don't give up.

Maybe it's not
the same guys shooting at us.

They might be someone
who could help.

- Only one way to find out.
- Okay.

Tell security they are not to let
that aircraft land on the grounds.

Frame: My work is at
too critical a stage for interruption.

Yes, sir.

- And tell them to mind the clocks.
- Yes, sir.

Security...

There's an open area to land in
near that dome.

Gonna take her down there.

Get down!

- I'm taking fire!
- No kidding! Get us out of here!

We're going down.
Hang on.

Oh, my God.

Joe: They hit it.

This is not gonna be
a soft landing.

Check for survivors.

Are you okay?

For God's sake.
Who's shooting at us?

Somebody who doesn't
want us here.

What are we gonna do?

I mean, these guys are ruthless.

Why would they shoot down
a helicopter?

Well, the same reason
they're shooting at us.

Well, should we check
if there are survivors?

No. No, I guarantee
those gunslingers

are on their way
to that wreckage right now.

There's nothing we can do
to help them.

We need that video, right?

Okay, let's go back and look for it
while those guys are distracted

and then we'll get
the heck out of here.

Okay.

Is he alive?

No.

You ever use one of these?

Me?

No, no, no.
I don't do guns.

Oh!

Oh, my-

Jack, look at this.

- Yeah, this is the spot.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Where's the camera?

- You see it?
- No.

Joe.

You found it?

Bag's empty

They took the camera.

Newscaster: Moments ago,
we received this stunning footage

from our affiliate in Sacramento

showing enormous roots
growing out of

the Sierra Nevada Mountains
of Central California, heading west.

Tens of millions of people
are in its path.

Chaotic evacuations have jammed
the roads and trains,

bringing the transportation system
to a standstill.

Just as alarming...

...the growth is accelerating...

It was a government helicopter.

They only found
the pilot dead.

Have them sweep the grounds.

Someone else
had to be aboard.

One of the guards
found this.

Here, come here.

Oh, my God.

Tetracentron.

It's an extinct plant genus.

This is the garden, Jack.

So this is Frame's property.

That's no coincidence
it's remained unscathed.

I can't believe that bastard's
trying to kill us.

Those roots-
those monster roots,

they just can't seem
to get in here, right?

So there's gotta be something here
that's stopping them.

Something in the plants?

Something in the soil.

How's that?

Some plants
have pesticidal abilities.

They excrete an antitoxin
into the soil

to protect against
invasive vegetation.

I'll bet you anything
this garden has enriched

the surrounding soil
with antitoxins.

Like an antibody.

It has to be what's
keeping the roots out.

These antitoxins are the key.

You need to get to work
making a-

what is it- serum
or something, right?

How?
I don't have the equipment.

I need a lab to extract
the antitoxin.

It's that facility.
I bet there's a lab in it.

And if there is,
I know I can get us inside.

Let's go.

SCOPE agent on video:
The sooner you show me the product,

the sooner we can
get out of here.

Kyle on video:
Is that the money? Show me.

SCOPE agent on video:
Now you show me something.

Come on, come on.
This way.

Don't hurt him, please.

Who are you?

We didn't mean anything.
We're only trying to save lives.

- Who are you?
- We're environmentalists, okay?

- Who are you?
- Were you in that chopper

they shot down?

What are you doing here?

We're trying to prove that these guys
started this disaster.

- Who?
- They're like some kind of

fringe scientists
or something.

We've been to their lab.

They have, like, test tubes
with roots and seeds in them.

Get up.

You need to take us
to the lab now.

No- no way.
It's too dangerous.

- Now.
- They're trying to kill us.

Do you have any idea
what's going on out there?

This country is being destroyed.

If we don't stop it,
there'll be nothing left.

What?

Well, then we need
to get to our families.

You can't.
There's nowhere to go.

We're surrounded by destruction.

This area's the only part
of the region that's been spared.

Oh, my God.

Wh- why do you need
to go to the lab?

To make an antitoxin
to kill the roots.

You wanna see
your family again or not?

Your call.

Joe's voice on video:
Was that a gunshot?

Kate's voice:
Oh, my God. They shot him.

What's happening?

Joe's voice on video:
An earthquake.

What is that?

Kate's voice:
Oh, my God. What? Okay.

The taproot.

So we were watching
an illegal hazardous waste dump.

A man in a van showed up
with some other men.

They shot him.
He dropped something,

and then those giant roots
grew like crazy.

No wonder
the roots grew so fast.

The seeds were released
in a hazardous waste site.

The roots had the same reaction
to the bombs.

They mutated as
a defensive measure, right?

To cleanse the earth
of all toxins.

Jack, they can show us
where the taproot is.

Freeze!

Put your hands in the air!

This is Noel. I've captured trespassers
in the northern woods.

Need security here now.

Guard on walkie-talkie:
Roger that.

Noel is it?

I'm a federal agent.

We need to use
your lab, okay?

- Put your gun down.
- Can't do that.

Noel, it's me,
Dr. Stein.

We've talked on the phone.

Frame hired me
to find the seeds.

I said don't move.

Stay right there.

Easy! All right,
I'm gonna drop to a knee,

okay, guys?

When I do, I want you to run
right back the way we came.

- Okay?
- Yep,

- Everybody good?
- Mm-hmm.

In position.

Go.

Get down!

Come on.
We'll take you to the lab.

This way.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Guard:
We've got him pinned down!

Wallace, circle around!

I was right.

There's some kind of
chemical compound in the soil.

The antitoxin
you were talking about?

I have to extract it.

Can you get me
some water?

- Do you have a lighter?
- Yeah. Here.

So you think this stuff
can stop the roots?

Frame:
Who's in there?

Frame: There is critical work
in there that can't be disturbed!

I warned you
there was a danger

to releasing
a prehistoric plant

in this toxic world!

What, you know this guy?

Frame:
Jocelyn, is that you?

There's no need
for this, Jocelyn.

Open the door.

Frame:
Kyle betrayed me.

He released a seed
before it was ready.

It caused the metabolism
of the roots to go wild.

That's why
I've contained my work

to soils that were pure.

That magnificent garden out there
that the seeds have spawned.

That's my vision.

Not the horrible destruction
that was unleashed on the world.

I don't want that
any more than you do.

I've found a way to stop it.

Frame:
Then we must work together.

In a matter of hours, the roots
will reach the coastline.

This will cause an explosion
of new growth

as they consume
the polluted ocean waters.

The whole world
will be threatened.

You already tried
to kill me once.

What guarantee do I have
that you're telling the truth?

I was defending my life's work.

I had no idea it was you.

I would never harm you, Jocelyn.

You know that.
Please.

Open the door.

We need to work together
to solve this crisis

before it's too late.

You're not really gonna
open that door, are you?

We can turn this around.

The mutated roots
are purifying the earth.

They're destroying
man's pollutants.

So imagine
what they can do if we-

if we can control them.

Good to see you, Jocelyn.

I've extracted an anti-toxin
from your garden soil.

If we inject it in the taproot,

it will kill it.

That's going to be difficult
without knowing

the exact location of the taproot.

They know the location
of ground zero.

Noel.

You shouldn't play with guns.

They can go off.

That's it. Get up.

Let's go.

Frame: Noel.

Jack, we don't have
as much time as we thought.

Within hours,
the roots will hit the Pacific

and this crisis
will go global.

Agent Tompkins,
I'm Jeremy Frame.

Yeah, I know who you are.

My apologies for the aggressive nature
of our defense.

Surely you understand
how high the stakes have become,

given my property's
the only sanctuary.

Jack, I extracted
the antitoxin from the soil.

Is it strong enough
to kill the roots?

Yes. inoculate it directly
into the taproot,

it should circulate
through the system

- and kill all the roots.
- You concur with that?

Dr. Stein has never disappointed.

Well, there is one problem.

Once the taproot realizes
its limbs are dying,

it could regenerate new ones
the way it did after it was bombed.

It would start the whole disaster
all over again.

So we'll just blow it up
after we poison the roots.

Tompkins: But how do we
even get to the damn thing?

I don't believe that the aircraft
you arrived in

sustained any
mechanical damages.

No, but you killed my pilot.

- Who's gonna fly it?
- Frame: I will.

I have a Class One
pilot certificate.

Okay, you kids sure you remember
where ground zero is?

- Yeah. Kemble Mines, near Lovelock.
- Mm-hmm.

Good. Let's move.

Are you sure you want to go through
with their plan, sir?

Isn't the taproot the key
to learning what went wrong?

You guys are crazy,
you know that?

Are you really gonna trust
this lunatic?

- You wanna fly this thing?
- Yeah, this guy gives me the creeps.

We don't have a choice.
Hop in.

Frame: We've reached
the coordinates of the mine.

Either one of you
recognize anything?

It all looks so different.

Hey, hey.
Over there.

I can see the entrance
to the mine.

See those cluster roots?
That's where the taproot is.

Well, if that's ground zero,
it means the roots are cutting

right through the mine shaft.

- Right here.
- Where can you land?

I see a level area

just above the mine entrance.

We can land there.

All right.
You two kids stay in the chopper.

What, are you kidding me?

We didn't come all this way
just to sit here.

You did your part.
Now let us do ours.

Tompkins:
Watch your step.

No telling what's down here.

Besides hazardous waste?

Could be anything.

Bats...

rusted metals...

rattlesnakes.

I've trekked through
tropical jungles,

waded through
infectious waters,

and I meet my demise
on a rusty nail.

...from Sacramento
have been cut off

as aerial footage shows
massive destruction

and possibly thousands dead

as the anomaly spreads west.

Whoa.

Good God.

Tompkins:
So that's the taproot.

I've never seen
a taproot anything close

to this kind of structure.

Magnificent.

Shame we have to destroy it.

I could spend the rest of my life
studying this thing.

That thing is a killing machine.

I can't tell you how much sleep
I'm not gonna lose

once I blow it
to kingdom come.

First we need to poison
the root system

before the roots
reach the coast.

How long before the poison
kills all the roots?

With a taproot this size,

it could take a while.

What's happening?

Stein: Incredible.

It's already starting
to regenerate.

It knows the roots
are being poisoned.

Why is the ground shaking?

Kate:
Something's wrong.

I don't know.

Joe:
But it can't be good.

I'm gonna set this detonator

for one minute, before this thing
has a chance to regenerate.

- Tompkins: Get ready to run.
- Not so fast.

I think we should go see
if they need help.

Let's go.

Whoa.

Come on, Frame.

What are you gonna do,
shoot me?

Yes.

What are you doing?
We have to stop this.

The root, yes.

There's no need
to destroy the taproot.

Yes, there is. It will regenerate
a new root system if we don't.

Open the case.

I won't ask again.

- What is this?
- Take it out.

It's a serum.

It will put the taproot
into a dormant state

so it can be studied.

Frame: You said yourself
it would be a shame to destroy it.

Inoculate the root.

You're insane.

This thing is way
too dangerous to preserve.

If I can train the taproot
to grow normally

in polluted environments,

it will cleanse the world.

We can start anew
in a purified Earth.

The Earth that God
intended it to be.

God never
would've intended this.

No!

Ah

Jack!Jack!
Jack.

Oh, my God.
Hang on, Kate!

Come on.

We don't have much time.

Kate: They're all around us.
What do we do?

Joe:
Just hang on to something.

You okay?

We need to get you
to a doctor.

Good luck with that.

Oh, my God.
You guys okay?

He's been shot.

We have to get him
out of here.

No, no, no, no.
We can help him.

You're doctors?

Yeah, I wish.

Leaves from
the garden?

Yes.

This I gotta see.

Hey, don't knock it, man.

These saved my ass today.

Oh. "W"

How?

They secrete a resin

with extraordinary
healing powers.

No kidding.

You're right. We're all gonna have
to buy new science books.

Yeah.

I think I got it.

Look how tame this one is.

How'd you do that?

Frame's research
and some

good old-fashioned
genetic modification.

"Good old-fashioned
genetic modification. "

Good thing about these seeds having
accelerated metabolic rates

is that you can alter their genomes
in a matter of hours.

Well, yeah, you know...

'Course.

This is how Frame
created his garden.

This plant is a miracle.

Yes, it is.

Go on.

I still don't trust it.

Have faith, Jack.

Will you-
will you look at that?

What-
what do you know?

Wow.
