I once thought this was the
beginning of your story.

Memory is a strange thing.

It doesn't work like I thought it would.

We are so constrained by time.

From his order.

Come back to me.

Come back to me.

Hands up!

Are you the sheriff in town?

I'll hit you with my tickle guns!

I have to chase you.
You better run away.

I remember moments in between.

I love you.

I hate you!

And that was the end.

Come back to me.

Love, come back to me.

But now I no longer know if I
believe in beginnings and endings.

Some days define your
story beyond your life.

Like the day they arrived.

Good morning.

Where is everyone?

Alright, let's get started.

Today we will talk about the Portuguese language

and why it has a very different
sound from other Romance languages.

The history of Portuguese begins
in the kingdom of Galicia...

Excuse me.

...in the Middle Ages...

when language was
considered an art form.

Do you want to let us participate?

Dr. Banks,
can you turn the TV on to the news?

The police have already cordoned off the entire area.

As you can see,
we got as close as possible,

but Montana is currently
in total lockdown.

It appears that the object landed
40 minutes ago, north of I-94.

We are waiting to know whether it is
an aircraft under development or...

One moment.

They tell me there are other items similar to that

they landed in at least eight
other locations around the world.

Yes ? Do we have them?

These images come to us
from the island of Hokkaido.

It's happening all over the
world and it's happening now.

I guess class is over.

Away, away, away!

We ask you to collaborate while waiting

that the authorities evaluate
the nature of the object.

So it's not our work?
Isn't he even from this planet?

We are still gathering information
in concert with other countries.

We are not alone in having
them on our doorstep.

If it's just a peaceful first
contact, why send 12?

Why not just one?

Yes, I know, I saw it too.

I don't know, Mom,
we watch the same news.

Mom, please don't waste
your time with that channel.

How many times do I have to
tell you that they are idiots?

Well, are you feeling nervous?

Exactly, so...

it? You know, always the same.

Mom, I'm fine.

All right, I'll call you later.
HI.

About eight hours after landing,

still no sign of what we
might call "first contact".

These objects are at least 450 meters tall.

Two of them would have
penetrated Russian airspace.

One in Siberia and the other
off the Black Sea coast.

There are currently 12 unidentified objects
reported scattered across the planet.

There doesn't seem to be any
logic to the destinations,

and there is no evidence that
the spaceships are occupied...

...the hypothesis is that,
if it is some sort of vehicle,

may be unmanned.

However, there is a protocol
for scenarios like this.

After the extraordinary events of Tuesday,

this morning the President
declared a state of emergency,

and sent 5,000 National Guardsmen
to the State of Montana alone.

Borders closed, flights cancelled,
and millions of travelers abandoned.

Desperate races to stock up on
petrol, water and food are increasing.

And federal authorities have suspended
the cap on law enforcement overtime.

The ATF has temporarily banned
the issuance of new gun licenses,

obliging many independent
firearms suppliers

to suspend their sales activities.

After 48 hours there is still no news...

Two days.

And the public already expects answers from us.

I am Colonel G.T. Weber.

We don't know each other,

but two years ago he translated from
Farsi on behalf of military security.

He made quick work of those
videos of the rioters.

And you dealt with
the rioters quickly.

She is at the top of any list
when it comes to translations.

And your security clearance
is good for another two years,

therefore he still has access
to confidential information.

That's why I'm in his
studio and not in Berkeley.

I need you to translate something for me.

Why are you here?

Can you understand us?

Where are you from?

Now that you've heard
it, what is your opinion?

That is...

Yes.

How many ?

How many what?

How many are talking?

Two.

Assuming they didn't
talk at the same time.

Are you sure?
They had a mouth o...

What method would you use to translate?

Does it distinguish words or phrases?

I do not know.

So what can you tell me?

I can tell you that it is impossible
to translate from an audio file.

I should stay there and interact with them.

There was no need for
translations from Farsi.

Of course, because I knew the
language, but this is...

- I understand what he wants to do.
- And that would be?

I'm not taking her to Montana.

It will not become a tourist destination

for anyone with a
security clearance.

I only told her what it
takes to do this job.

It's non-negotiable.

If I leave,
he will have lost his chance.

Until we meet again.

Colonel.

You mentioned Berkeley,
now will you turn to Danvers?

Perhaps.

Before taking it,

ask him how to say "war" in
Sanskrit, and its translation.

The signing of a scientific
cooperation agreement seems closer,

now that Russia and China are
participating in the discussions at the UN.

Meanwhile, there is a crisis in the financial
markets around the world, and the Dow Jones index

lost over 2,000 points,
in the darkest week of its history.

Good morning.

Colonel.

"Gavisti". For him it means "argument".
What do you think it means?

Wish for more cows.

Pack your bags.

- Can you give me 20 minutes?
- We take off in 10.

Dr. Banks, this way, please.

Excuse me, I'll check that it's fastened properly.

Everything OK ?

Thank you.

Sorry, I couldn't understand
what you were saying.

"Language is the foundation of civilization,
the glue that holds a people together.

It is the first weapon that
is drawn in a conflict."

Louise, meet Ian Donnelly.

Louise Banks, Ian Donnelly.

- What a welcome!
- Well, she wrote it.

Yes.

They are the things that are written in
prefaces, to dazzle readers with the ABC.

It's great, even if it's wrong.

Wrong ?

The pillar of civilization is not
language, but science.

Ian is a theoretical physicist from Los Alamos.

She will report to me, but will work
with him when you are in the shell.

That's what they call UFOs.

The first thing: what they
want and where they come from.

And then, how did they get here?
Can they exceed the speed of light?

Here, I have a list of questions
that we can review together.

We introduce ourselves with a
handshake of binary sequences...

How about we talk to him before
giving him math problems?

That's why I brought both.

I'll bring him the coffee.

A coffee with the alien.

Well, escort the two of them to Dr. Kettler.

Yes sir.

Follow the captain to the medical
center, it will take a few minutes.

And then we begin.

They will take care of your
luggage, give me the cell phones.

Cell phones.

Follow me.

Put these on, you will always
have to carry them with you.

- Not while I'm here. - Well.

Sir, they have arrived.

Louise Banks? Ian Donnelly?
When was the last meal?

- Last night. - Me too.

- Last stressful event?
- Included now?

Just to say...

Who did they take away with the air ambulance?

Not everyone can handle
situations like this.

I'll give you a withdrawal

and I give you a dose of vaccine that
covers a series of bacterial risks.

Can you sign here?
And roll up a sleeve.

- Do you suffer from claustrophobia?
- No.

Are you currently taking any medications?
Allergies? Pregnancy?

This dose is a bomb for the
body, it could have side effects:

nausea, dizziness, headache,
a ringing as if you have tinnitus.

- Have you seen what happens to him?
-How the hell does it work?

The data is unchanged, but I don't know...

we are like insects who collect with
newspaper to accompany us out of the house.

Exactly after 112 minutes and 19 seconds,

there is a shift in gravity
that makes us slip away.

Have you found a scientific explanation?

- Is it designed for them?
- No, we think it's for us.

No air circulates inside the chamber,

so after about 2 hours,
we run out of oxygen.

It doesn't take 18 hours to
pump fresh air into a room.

Atmosphere.

Please ?

If their atmosphere is
different from Earth's,

it will take hours to rebalance the O2
content and pressure, every time they open.

So, if they wanted, they could suffocate us?

This is Agent David Halpern of the CIA.

- I'll accompany you to your stations.
- Yes.

Remember, we need answers
as soon as possible.

What they want, where they come from,
why they are here, that's the priority.

Gentlemen, meet Dr. Ian Donnelly,
he will be leading this team.

Did they show signs of reacting to something?
Shapes, drawings, numbers, Fibonacci?

We don't even understand how
they react to a "hello", so...

don't run too much.

- What do you know?
- We're just getting started.

Good morning.

Meet Dr. Louise Banks,
she will lead this team.

Dr. Banks, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Dr. Banks takes over
from Dr. Walker.

It's the signal that there are 15 minutes left.

Have you ever dived?

What kind of radiation will we expose ourselves to?

Minimum, these are just to be safe.

There is the possibility of
establishing physical contact with...

Am I the only one who has difficulty calling them "aliens"?

There is a wall, like a glass
wall, we can't get them closer.

What do they look like?

He'll see for himself soon, let's get moving.

Thank you. Turn around, please.

All units, stand by, over.

At first it feels awkward in
there, but then you get used to it.

Get into the second vehicle

We'll be there in a few minutes.

Hold on.

Acknowledged, Condor,
let's observe without acting, over.

Be careful.

Every 18 hours,
the bottom hatch opens.

At that point we enter.

Red team ready to intervene.

Radar air report: zero movement.
Alpha Team, you may proceed. Step.

Got it, Condor.
We are preparing to go up. Step.

3 meters.

1.5 meters.

0.5 metres... 0.3 metres...

Alpha, all clear to enter
the antechamber. Step.

Got it, Condor.
Let's move forward. Step.

9 meters to the target.

Suit telemetry fully operational,
despite unknown interference. Step.

1.5 meters... 0.5... 0.3.

Oxygen level: 20.3%.
No contamination. Step.

Gravity at .97.

Reduction of the radio signal by 90%.

85%.

Yes, I didn't dream it.

Well, let's get moving, let's not waste time.

Ready? Ready?

Force.

Condor, I advance first
with Captain Marks. Step.

Here we are. Nominal gravity
in the antechamber. Step.

All right, sir.

- You can proceed. - Ready.

Okay, let's bring them up.

Vital signs normal.
Radio signal stable at 75%. Step.

Everything OK ?

Yes.

Dr. Banks?

He can do it, come on.

I don't know, I think...

Take it!

Doctor Donnelly, are you okay?

Doctor Donnelly, is everything okay?

Doctor Donnelly, are you okay?
Please reply. Step.

Yes.

Holy shit.

We have to get to the bottom,
and she will begin her work.

Okay?

- Then let's move.
- Alpha team in position.

The team is in
position, we're moving.

Condor, Alpha is in the aisle.

We install equipment and telemetry.
Step.

Oxygen level, 21.3%. Step.

And what happens now?

They're coming.

Dr. Banks.

Dr. Banks.

It can begin.

Don't stop until you pass
the airlock entrance.

Do not attempt to remove hazmat suits without
the assistance of authorized personnel.

I repeat: do not remove suits without
the assistance of authorized personnel.

Wait, just a second.

- Am I fired?
- It went better than its predecessor.

That's not much consolation to me.

You have until two hours
to come up with something.

And then what happens?

Go back in there.

The wave of violence continues
across the United States,

in the aftermath of the 12 landings.

The President has imposed
a dawn-to-dusk curfew,

after the iron fist
of the National Guard

failed to prevent a third night
of looting across the country.

It is feared that in North Dakota, 144
members of the San Lorenzo Pentecostal sect

died after setting
fire to their camp.

Their website claims that the arrival of
aliens would have fulfilled a prophecy

according to which "12 groups
of 12 will follow the lamb".

We'll be back in 15 minutes,
do you have any new information?

We listened to some of their sounds.

What do you get out of it?

Well, they play sounds
from a hidden source.

Sounds of what?

Snippets of conversation from the
room, random snippets of dialogue.

Really, we got nowhere.

Minus 14 minutes to access the shell.

Minus 14 minutes to access the shell.

OXYGEN LEVEL IN THE CYLINDERS

Minus 9 minutes to access the shell.

Minus 9 minutes to access the shell.

What is that for?

Visual support.

I won't be able to repeat their
words, if they are talking at all.

But perhaps they have a written language,
the basis of visual communication.

Okay, let's get moving.

HUMAN

Human.

Human.

I am a human being.

What are you?

Human.

My God.

Are you recording?

Yes sir,
I'm transmitting it to base camp.

Louise, this is incredible.

Human.

Okay, slow down a little, guys.

Slow down.

I don't want to belittle his achievement,

but is this really the right approach?

Do you want to teach him to speak and read?
It will take more time.

You're wrong, it's the fastest method.

Everything he'll do in there,

I'll have to tell this to a room full
of people whose only question is:

"How could they use it against us?"

So he will have to give me something more.

Kangaroo.

What does it mean ?

In 1770, Captain James Cook's ship
ran aground near the Australian coast,

they set out to explore and
came across the aborigines.

A sailor pointed to the animals hopping
around with their babies in their pouches,

he asked what they were,
and the Aborigines replied, "Kanguru."

And what would the connection be?

Only later did they discover that
"kanguru" means "I don't understand."

It is necessary to avoid these misunderstandings
or it will take us much longer.

I'll let him digest this for now.

But you will have to tell me the words
you have chosen before the next session.

Right.

And remember what happened to the Aboriginal people.

A more advanced race almost
exterminated them all.

It's a beautiful story.

Thank you. It's not true.

But it served my purpose.

HUMAN?

We think we managed to repeat some
sequences of prime numbers to him.

It's something.

Congratulations, you are a parrot.

It's much more than that,
you bloody braggart!

They can't understand our algebra.

Instead, complex behaviors
are assimilated on the fly.

But this doesn't make any sense or is it a mistake?

Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with
our policy of openness towards aliens.

Do you know General Shang?
Codename: "Grande Domino".

Whatever he does,
at least four other nations will follow.

Louise, you have to make some progress today.

- Do you have a list of words for me?
- Yes.

He will teach them
his name and Ian's.

Yes, so we'll find out their names, if they
have them, and then we'll move on to pronouns.

These are all elementary words.

"Eat", "walk".

Help me understand.

Not the part above!

"What is your purpose on Earth?"

- This is what you're getting at, isn't it?
- And that's the question.

We first need to make sure
they know what a question is.

What is a request for information
that requires a response.

Then we need to clarify the difference there is

between the second person
singular and the plural.

Because we don't want to
know why Joe Alieno is here,

but why did all of
them land on Earth.

And the word "purpose" presupposes
the concept of intention.

We need to find out if
they make conscious choices

or if they are moved only by instinct so
they don't understand the question "why?".

And the most important thing:
we must have a common vocabulary

enough to understand their answers.

Received.

Stick to your list.

But...

don't add anything else.

Gravity at .97.
Oxygen level 21.4%. Step.

Condor, Alpha is in the aisle.

Equipment and telemetry installed.
Step.

Let's get started.

Louise, I'm Louise.

What is that?

A new symbol? I do not understand.

I don't know, I think it's
the symbol for "human" again.

It just has a little curl at the end.

Maybe it's a sign of
questioning, I don't know.

I don't know, Louise,
I think they're getting confused.

Dr. Banks, perhaps we can
move on to the next word.

Dr. Banks?

- Everything's fine.
- What's happening?

- What does he do? - I am fine.

Is she crazy?

They have to see me.

He's taking off his suit.
Doctor !

- Can do it?
- Risks contamination.

- They have to see me.
- Dr. Banks.

- Dr. Banks.
- Goes towards the screen.

Shall we cancel?

- Received, wait for new orders.
- Return to your stations.

This is a proper presentation.

I'm Louise.

Ian, do you want to introduce yourself?

Yes.

Louise.

TO HELL!

We all have to die, right?

Sir, Donnelly is taking off her
suit, permission to cancel?

Continue.

Ian.

Louise.

You.

Who are you?

I believe those are their names.

They have names.

- So what will we call him?
- I do not know.

I was thinking of Gianni and Pinotto.

Yes.

- Yes? - Yes, I like it.

I like.

Team 1, exit the vehicle and
go to the decontamination tent.

Keep your respirators on until you
get to the quartermaster's office.

I know.

Team 2, exit the vehicle and head
towards the decontamination tent.

Keep your respirators on and don't stop until
you get to the quartermaster's office.

How do you feel?

Consumed.

I don't think I need to tell
you that you took a big risk.

There are no signs of
radiation poisoning yet.

We'll see his blood tests.

For now, I'll give you
another dose of the vaccine.

No radiation,
we didn't detect anything else,

but I would still administer
a robust cocktail.

This is the first time we've
made significant progress.

All right, we'll take the risk.

Treasure...

- What are you doing there?
- Honey.

- Can't you tell me anything?
- No, you have to stay calm.

- How can I stay calm?
- Calm down, try to calm down.

Becky asked me if those
monsters will kill her dad!

Honey, nothing like that will happen.

- Be careful. - Don't worry.

Please, I'm so scared!

Here's a lot of what we
don't know about heptapods.

From the Greek "epta":
seven, and "pod": foot.

Seven feet: heptapod.

Who am I?

The search for a sensible answer
is hampered by the fact that,

in addition to being seen and heard,

the heptapods do not leave
even the shadow of a footprint.

The chemical composition of
their spacecraft is unknown.

The shell produces no
waste, gases or radiation.

If the shells communicate with each other,
they do so in an indecipherable way.

The air between the shells is not disturbed
by sonic emissions or light waves.

Are they scientists? Tourists?

If they are scientists,
they don't ask many questions.

Why did they land
precisely in those places?

The world's leading experts
can't figure it out.

The most plausible theory is that
they chose areas of the Earth

with the lowest incidence of lightning.

But there are exceptions.

Another accredited theory
is that Sheena Easton

it topped the charts in every
one of those places in 1980.

So... we just don't know.

How do they communicate?

On this one, Louise made us all look bad.

The first great discovery was
that there is no correlation

between what a heptapod says
and what a heptapod writes.

IAN WALKS

Unlike our written languages,
their writing is semasiographic.

It conveys a meaning,
it does not represent a sound.

Perhaps they interpret our
writing as a missed opportunity...

to establish a second
communication channel.

TIME - DEATH - TECHNOLOGY

SOLAR SYSTEM - HOUSE
- NUMBER - WRITE

We owe our friends in Pakistan a
useful study on how heptapods write.

Because, unlike the word,
a logogram is free from time.

Like their spaceship,
or their bodies,

their written language has no
forward or backward direction.

Linguists call it
"nonlinear orthography."

Which begs the question:
Is this how they think?

Imagine you want to write a sentence
using both hands on both sides.

You should already know
every word you plan to use

and also how much space each will take up.

A heptapod can write a complex
sentence in two seconds, easily.

It took us a month to
give a basic answer.

"What is your purpose on Earth?"

Next step: expand your vocabulary.

According to Louise,
it will take another month to get to that.

Weber is looking for you.

And why do you think I would hide here?

Salts.

Force.

Thank you.

It's nice here, huh?

Yes, there is a nice view.

Away from the noise...

You know, I was just thinking about you.

Your approach to language is that of
a mathematician, you know that, right?

I take that as a compliment.

Well, it is.

You made us overcome communication
barriers that I didn't know existed.

"Don't tell me!"

Maybe that's why I'm single.

You can understand the mechanics of
communication and still remain single.

It seems to me that everything
that happens in there...

rest on our shoulders.

Yes, but we're not bad, right?
You and me?

Have you seen the jokers we work with?

Good thing I have you.

ALIEN EMERGENCY -
25TH DAY VENEZUELA

LET'S SAVE OUR SPECIES

Breaking news: the first
photo of aliens goes viral.

"There is a very high risk of biological
contamination in the Montana area,"

so say the environmentalist lobbies.

800,000 marched in Washington

against the government's
management of the emergency.

This and much more, in our special.

First contact with whoever is in there
and who is in charge of the operation?

The government. Exact.

The same one that bankrupted our
healthcare system and military.

Look at them,
they don't even have guns!

We risk a total invasion,

and our President will let them
take our house undisturbed.

We're falling asleep at the wheel, people!

You know what I'm talking about, I know!

Wouldn't it be a little smarter
to give him a show of strength?

Let's fire some warning
shots, what do you think?

The first listener is on the air.
Tell us, what do you think?

What is this word?

Planet.

It means...
The Earth is a planet.

Do you want to see my project
for Mistress Garriott?

Yes, little nose.

We had to invent a
favorite TV show...

- Who are those two?
- You and dad.

The program is titled: "Mum
and Dad Talk to the Animals".

It's very cute.

You know it's okay to
be sad if dad and I...

Yes, but I'm not sad.

We both love you so much.

I know, it's just a drawing,
it doesn't really exist.

Are you feeling well?

Yes, I'm fine.

I don't know if that's
something I can explain.

When did you last have a
check-up with Dr. Kettler?

I am fine.

I'm going to get some fresh air.

I am fine.

- Agree. - Everything is fine.

How do you feel?

I need to sleep, but...

I am fine.

You know, I read something about this theory

according to which, if you completely
immerse yourself in a foreign language,

you can rewire the circuitry of your brain.

Yes, it's the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis.

The theory that...

It's the theory that

the language we speak determines
the way we think and...

Yes, it affects our view of the world.

I'm curious.

Do you dream in their language?

I may have had some dreams, but not...

I don't think this
affects my work.

- Did he sleep? - A bit'.

Do you know Mandarin?

The voice he is about to hear is
that of the head of the Chinese army.

General Shang.

Send it.

We have our satellite imagery,
if you want to see who you're talking to.

Wait, come back.

S109 -

He says each of the 12
offers high technology.

Back again. Play.

"Our scientific team is
trying to decode the groups."

"Groups", I don't know what that means.

Something about the benefit…
“Seeds, Honors and Flowers.”

I don't know, it's all here.

I don't understand what it means either.

An hour ago,
China mobilized its army,

and Russia will follow
as a matter of honor.

Shang is about to unleash something.

Matter of honor, "honors."

Seeds, honors, flowers.

They are all groups of mahjong tiles.

My God...

are they using a game to
talk to the heptapods?

Perhaps. Why ?

If I taught them chess
instead of English,

every conversation would be a game,

every idea expressed in terms of opposition,
victory, defeat. Do you understand the problem?

If the only tool I gave
her was a hammer...

Everything will seem like a nail to me.

We have to ask him the big question.

Ready or not.

No, this is the same as before.

You see ?

Yes, no, but between three and four.

We have to go.

The purpose of the heptapod.

Purpose of the heptapod.
Earth. What is your purpose?

Conversion completed SEND

Is there only Pinotto?

Okay, you're here too.

What does he say?

"Offer weapon".

- But they wrote it!
- Using an ambiguous word for them.

- It can be a request.
- Or a warning.

Silence !

We don't know if they understand the
difference between a weapon and an instrument.

Our language is confusing,
sometimes they can be used as synonyms.

They may ask us to
offer them something

and not the other way around.

As part of an exchange.

How do we clarify what
intentions those words imply?

I'll go back inside,
we'll go there immediately and clarify it.

- It's not that simple.
- In what sense ?

Colonel, the Secretary of
Defense is on the line for you.

Let's keep this information to
ourselves until we understand better.

We don't pass it on to enemy countries.

It could be that our hosts want to
get us to fight among ourselves,

until one side prevails.

- It's a baseless theory.
- The foundation is there.

Get a history book.

The English with India.
The Germans with Rwanda.

In Hungary they even gave it a name.

We are a world without a leader.

It is impossible to deal
with only a part of us.

And now, with the word "weapon"...

Halpern.

Yes, sir.

Nothing ?

What did they say?

China and Russia have
cut communications.

Whatever they discovered in the
last session, it alarmed them.

Yes, sir.

We have orders to do the same.

- They are our allies.
- He can't do it.

- Put us on radio silence.
- Execute.

We received a message from...

Damn !

- We need to be able to talk to each other.
- First find out what this means.

Base camp is now offline.

Interpreters and liaison
officers suspend communications

and introduce themselves to the unit coordinators.

We had never anticipated a session.

Louise, trust me, we have time,
but we have to hurry, okay?

"Use weapon".

This is the message from the aliens that
would have induced the Chinese government

to withdraw its scientists from
the international mission today.

Here is what General Shang said:

"China no longer trusts aliens
who are determined to divide us.

We must protect mankind."

China has asked to immediately
open a table at the United Nations.

Alpha 19, this is Condor. Step.

Alpha 19, this is Condor.
Answer. Step.

Captain Marks, this is
Condor, I'm not seeing you.

Turn on the squelch twice if you hear me.

Captain Marks, all escort
units are under orders to stop.

- Dr. Banks, you can't come in.
- We just have to ask one question.

Dr. Banks!

The session is over,
he can't come back, it's dangerous.

We only need 5 minutes, don't worry.

Marks, let them go.

Hey, Gianni.

What do we call it, session 37?

No, 36, part two.

- Why are they alone?
- We have contacted Captain Marks.

- But the escort units don't respond.
- Why not ?

Send security.

Offer weapon.

Question mark.

Are you offering us something?

"Technology. Apparatus. Method".

Yes, you see, that's a different word.

This segment is much more complex.

Give.

Technology.

Now.

What is he doing?

Captain, ten o'clock.

Security on the way,
T minus 4 minutes.

We have to complete the operation.

- Here we are, ready to fire.
- We just have to keep them at bay.

Received, warning shots only.

Take cover,
stay alert and no one will get hurt.

Gianni wants me to write on the barrier.

Is it possible?

I do not know.

Not with both hands.

What is that?

Slowly, she suffered a head
injury, lay down again.

How do you feel?

-How is Ian?
- Like her, in one piece.

Who was it?

Soldiers who have watched too much TV.

What is this noise?

Slowly, calmly.

The site is no longer safe,
we are preparing to evacuate.

Where's Ian?

Weber came to pick him
up about ten minutes ago.

He refused to leave until
he knew she was okay.

They are all working to understand
what information you received in there.

Is that all? Didn't the explosion
interrupt the connection?

From what we can see, no.

- Found anything?
- I can't tell you yet.

My team and Louise's
team will work together.

- We must join forces.
- We can't leave.

Well, he's up.

We have to go and explain to
him that it wasn't our fault.

- We can't go back there.
- We have to.

They suffered an attack.

We are optimistic, but the order
is to prepare for a counterattack.

And maybe to evacuate.

It's the wrong move,
as long as they stay, we have to stay.

Well, they're not going away.

Why do I have the impression
that this is worse?

China is ready for the offensive.

Their army is ready to blow
up the alien spaceship.

And if it happens, we can't sit back
and wait for a counterattack, be ready.

- Air force and infantry are on alert.
- Yes, sir.

China has become the first world
power to declare war on aliens.

After the failure of
UN diplomatic efforts,

China confirmed that their
linguist experts today

they issued an ultimatum at
the Shanghai landing site.

In a televised
statement, General Shang,

head of the People's Liberation Army,

he said the aliens have 24
hours to leave Chinese territory

or they will be annihilated.

And he urged other world leaders
to take a similar position.

The massive gathering of
troops at their landing sites

suggests that Pakistan, Russia and
Sudan will follow China's example.

It can't be random.

It will take us years.

What is that word...

Mom.

Mom.

Love.

What is that word that is
used, it is a technical term,

to say that we both
gain from our agreement?

- Compromise. - No.

There's some sort of dispute...

from which both parties emerge satisfied.

Is everyone happy?

- It's kind of more scientific.
- For scientific matters, call your father.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Don't worry, I'm awake.

What time is it ?

It's time to open that
bottle you keep hidden.

You deciphered something, right?

Yes, come here.

Check out this section,
it seems to be about the weather.

Their symbol for time is everywhere.

So what is this?

A formula for superluminal velocity?

Who can say.

There are too many gaps, nothing complete.

And then, the lighting.

You come.

Look.

Don't focus on the full spaces,
look at the empty spaces.

How much of this represents data?
How much negative space?

I calculated it.

0.0833 periodic.

Maybe you see it better as a fraction.

One divided by 12.

Here they are telling us
that this is only a twelfth.

- We are part of a larger whole.
- Or we are one of 12 contestants.

- Why do I have to talk to him?
- We're all working together.

We need to talk to the other sites and
tell everyone how to interpret their data.

I remind you that we are isolated.

China threatened to destroy
them, we are on our own.

- But all the pieces fit together.
- And no one cares.

Two hours ago we pulled this audio
from a secure channel in Russia.

Someone on the science
team was spreading it.

During the last session,
the alien said: "There is no time.

Many become one."

We all received weapons.

If anyone is listening, please...

Well, you can interpret what he
said in many different ways...

I don't need an interpreter
to understand what he says.

Russia executed one of their
experts, to protect their secrets.

“Many become one” may be their
way of saying “needs assembly.”

Why give it to us in fragments
and not in its entirety?

What better way to force us
to work together for once.

Even if you believed her, how would you convince
everyone to cooperate and give us their data?

We offer them ours in exchange.

- An exchange?
- It's not a zero-sum game.

Not a zero-sum game.

That's it, yes. Thank you.

There is a total communications
blackout at 9 landing sites.

To talk to us you have to get there
and shout at the border guards.

We are trying,
but it will take too long.

There must be a way to
get the message to him.

To our allies, perhaps,
but now it is too little, too late.

We should inform all other nations

before one of them
launches a global war.

- But we have no way of contacting them.
- Wait a minute.

There is a way.

We have it above our heads.

At the moment I find it difficult.

The Pentagon is convinced that
our shell will counterattack.

I have a feeling they'll order
us to evacuate within the hour.

They are not our enemies,
they have never shown hostility.

Maybe this is their way of being hostile.

That's not the problem.

And what is the problem?

How do we get you back in there if
they're almost a kilometer in the air?

Our work is done.

It is now in the hands of our superiors.

What the hell is he doing?

Oh, no. Oh God, no...

Pinotto?

Where is Gianni?

Gianni in the process of dying

I am sorry.

We're sorry.

I need you...

I need you to send a
message to the other sites.

Louise has weapon

Use weapon

I do not understand.

What is your purpose here?

We help humans

In three thousand years...

we need humans to help us

How do you know the future?

I do not understand.

Who is that little girl?

The program is called: "Mom
and Dad Talk to the Animals."

Louise sees future

Arma opens time

Wait.

No, wait!

- Doctor Banks! -Louise!

Is he okay?

- Are you OK ? Come on, come on.
- Ian, I'm fine.

- What happened?
- I tried to understand, but it's too...

It doesn't matter now,
we have orders to evacuate.

- Why ?
- Russia and Sudan are following China.

Ian, I don't understand why...

Help me, mom.

Louise?

Hate.

Mom.

Mom.

Sorry, honey.

- What day is it today? Do you know, love?
- Sunday.

Will you leave me
too like dad did?

Hannah, love,
daddy didn't leave you.

You'll see it this weekend.

He doesn't look at me the same way anymore.

It's my fault.

I told him something he
wasn't ready to hear.

What ?

Well...

believe it or not...

I know something that will happen in the future.

I can't explain to you why I know, but I know.

And when I told your
dad, he got really angry.

And he said I made the wrong choice.

What is going to happen?

There is a very,
very rare disease involved.

And it's unbeatable.

A bit like you.

How do you swim...

and write poetry, and all the other
wonderful things you give to the world.

I'm unbeatable.

Yes.

I am here.

I understood why my husband left me.

- My husband left me.
- Were you married?

Come on, let's get out of here.

- Mom? - Yes?

Why is my name Hannah?

Your name is very special,
because it is a palindrome.

It reads the same
forwards and backwards.

I need a hand here.

That goes behind.

Ready.

Civilian consultants must wear their
identification badges during procedures...

THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
DOCTOR LOUISE BANKS

All personnel,
complete evacuation procedures...

"To Hannah"

We're done here.

We carry this with us.

TRANSLATING THE
HEPTAPOD A MANUAL

I know how to read it.

- I understand what it is.
- What ?

It's not a weapon, it's a gift.

The weapon is their language. They gave it to
us as a gift, do you understand what it means?

That we can learn the
heptapod, if we survive.

Once you learn, really learn,

you begin to have the same perception
of time as them, to see what will be.

But for them time is a different thing.

It's not linear.

We tried, but it wasn't enough.

The captain will escort you to the
helicopter, take off in 5 minutes.

Ian, Louise,
it was an honor working with you.

Good luck.

Colonel...

I'm trying to find out where they're taking us.

Wake up, mom.

Dr. Banks.

What a pleasure.

General Shang,
the pleasure is all mine, truly.

Its President said he was honored to
have me as a guest at this celebration.

But I confess...

that's the only reason I'm here

it's to meet her in person.

I'm flattered, thanks.

18 months ago,
you did something extraordinary.

Something that not even my
superior has ever managed to do.

That is to say ?

It changed my mind.

We owe this unification only to her.

Because she managed to contact
me on my private number.

His private number?
General, I don't know your private number.

Now yes.

I'm not saying I know how
his mind works, but...

I think it was important for her to see it.

I called her, didn't I?

Yes, he did.

- Well, let's shut down the system.
- Gentleman ?

A satellite cell phone is
calling China from here.

How, from here?

Force !

Whose phone is it?

It's your phone, sir.

Search the base.

Find out who is using it.

- Stay on those coordinates.
- Yes sir.

Reply...
And then what do I tell him?

What do I tell him?

Force.

Answers !

I'll never forget what he said to me.

He repeated my wife's last words to me.

We have found who is calling, he is in the
clean room, we are waiting for instructions.

What are you doing ?

- What are you doing ?
- I change someone's mind.

- Can you gain 20 seconds?
- There's no time.

Trust me,
just 20 seconds i Do you trust me?

Dr. Banks.

Put down the phone or we'll disappear.

- Put it down! - Yes, I'm sorry.

He is committing an act of treason!

Yes.

- Put it down!
- It's done. I did.

The blockade of communications between
the 12 landing sites continues.

MILITARY ACTION "INEVITABLE"

Wait a minute, we just received news...

We interrupt the service
for some important news...

China called an extraordinary
press conference.

General Shang,
leader of the People's Liberation Army,

announced in a press conference that
China is withdrawing its troops.

China has declared that all
the data in their possession

will be immediately communicated
to the other sites...

Scientists around the world are
examining data received from the UK...

The Russian military is disclosing
the information it has acquired

on both sites in their territory...

One of the 12 pieces of this puzzle
that is gradually taking shape.

So, Hannah...

this is where your story begins.

The day they left.

Are you OK ?

Even though I know the path...

and the destination...

I welcome it.

And I love every moment of it.

H-A-N-N-A-H.

Now backwards.

H-A-N-N-A-H.

Hannah.

Are you ready, love?

Okay! -

HI.

Everything OK ?

Yes, see you later.

Dad!

Are you OK ?

Daddy gets in here now!

Ready?

Think about it: star stuff.

- Ian. - Yes?

If you could see your whole
life, from beginning to end...

would you change anything?

Maybe I would say more often what I
feel, I don't know.

For as long as I can remember my eyes
have been focused on the stars...

And do you know what the
biggest surprise was for me?

Don't meet them.

But meeting you.

I had forgotten how beautiful it
feels to hold me close to you.

Do you want to have a baby?

Yes... yes.
