No one was proud of me.

Gabriel, how are you?

Archbishop Jenkins?

I realize how awkward this must be for
you, especially after all these years.

Gabe, I understand you are on your way
to Iron Mountain Observatory to

investigate the signal.

How did you... Last year I was made
special liaison between the diocese and

employer. I wasn't aware the church had
ventured into outer space.

Um, Gabe, I sent you a video message.

Apparently we are not the only people
keeping an eye on Dr.

Malik.

It starts here.

This is where the end of the world
happens.

I've seen the dark planet in my dream.

Are you... Are you flying on us?

No, no, please, let's... Let's...
Let's... Let's...

Let's... That message came from

Dr. Malick's phone.

The observatory director.

The nun in the video.

He lives in a nearby convent. And we
know the observatory made contact with a

missing space probe.

Ever since, she has been stalking them
with prophetic

rantings. They were going to contact the
authorities, but because of the

religious significance, they called me.

I know what you want.

And I'm not... I work for NASA now.

As an independent contractor, my job is
to find out why an observatory went

silent. Nothing more.

Yes.

Find out why an observatory went silent
after receiving a signal from a missing

probe.

Gabe, your work here is greater than one
task, one place.

Indeed, we are all part of a greater
plan.

I can assure you this is a scientific
matter, not anything religious.

This celestial mystery must be evaluated
from every perspective.

You always had an affinity for outer
space, Gabe.

I'm glad you finally found your calling.

A ride for a stranger?

Uh, I'm sorry, I can't help you.

Gate is wide open.

No security.

This is a bad idea.

What the hell?

I've arrived at Iron Mountain
Observatory to determine why Dr. Malik

offline and if there's any connection
with the lost probe.

Dr. Malik?

Here we go.

There appear to be pages from a Bible
covering the walls

of a corridor.

More specifically, pages from the New
Testament.

There are new locks on the generator
room door.

The keys are hanging on the wall.

Why would he keep the keys next to the
door?

Dr. Malik?

Dr. Malik?

Dr. Malik?

October 17th, Iron Mountain Observatory.

The place is wide open.

Some signs of vandalism, possibly by the
religious group Archbishop Jenkins

mentioned.

Dr. Malik is in order to be... Time
is...

Dr. Malik!

Dr. Malik!

Dr.

Malik!

Dr. Malik!

Jim.

October 17th.

Iron Mountain Observatory.

Impossibly, the probe has seemingly
discovered a planet at the edge of our

system, a planet that Dr. Malik
believes, believed, is

hell.

Hell, as in biblical hell.

Even more impossible.

Something has taken over Dr. Malick's
body, seemingly from within.

Dr. Malick is dead, replaced by an
unknown

life form.

There's also a sound coming from
somewhere in the building.

I may not be alone.

I see you.

Okay, look.

You got me down here.

Now what?

I just want to help.

I'm not here to hurt you.

Did Dr. Malik put you down here?

Did he put those shackles on you?

I think I've got some keys.

It's okay. I've got some keys that might
take those off.

Let's see if this key works, okay?

I'm not going to hurt you.

It's okay.

I want to help you.

Okay?

Nice and slow.

Okay.

Could you put that down, please?

My name's Gabe.

Do you speak?

That's okay.

Let's, um... Let's try to get those out,
okay?

Wait,

wait!

We gotta stick together.

Please, there's something up there.

Look, I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt
you.

Please, I just, I don't understand.

No, I don't know sign language.

You saw, thought, numbers.

You saw the numbers in your dream. You
dreamt the numbers.

What do they mean?

You need to know something.

We're not alone in here.

No, there's something that was Dr.
Malik. It's not Dr. Malik. It's

traveled, maybe from the... And you
don't know what I'm talking about.

All right, Dr. Malik received some
signals from a deep space probe at the

of our solar system.

The probe transmitted images of an
unknown planet, a planet that Dr.

Malik believes...

is hell.

And from your reaction, you do too.

Wait, wait, no, wait!

Sister. What?

I don't understand what you're saying.

This was in your dreams?

Inferno.

He's in power.

What is that thing?

What the hell does it want from us?

It started with the dreams, didn't it?

Dr. Malick thinks the planet is hell.

You think he's right?

The Book of Revelation talks about the
end of time. You think that's what's

happening now?

You're haunted by the same planet and
numbers. What numbers?

Those are the same numbers that were on
the entrance.

You wrote those?

How did you know?

That's not true.

What is it you want?

What prophecy?

No! No!

I'll hold that.

Thank you.

We need a plan to get out of here.

If we can get to the main road, I might
be able to get a reception to contact

the authorities.

priest for a very short time.

Gabriel, I received your message.

What is it?

Forgive me, Bishop. It's been more than
two weeks since my last confession.

I'm leaving the church, Bishop, and the
priesthood.

A crisis of faith, Gabriel.

More and more people are turning away
from the church and faith.

It's not working.

Our efforts, my efforts, aren't working.
I chose this path

to make a difference, and I am
struggling with indifference.

I feel it is a war we are losing.

Tell me of your dreams, Gabriel.

Tell me about the pale horse.

I haven't told anyone of that. How could
you possibly know?

What else do you see in your dreams?

The same events over and over and over.

I'm riding a horse.

A white horse.

And I'm riding toward a large, dark
sphere.

There is a deafening sound.

You are destined for great things,
Gabriel.

You are blessed with foresight.

I don't understand.

You will be part of the prophecy.

Hello? Hello?

Is this confessional open?

Yes. Ma 'am, give me a moment, please.

What prophecy?

You will help usher in the end of times.

The apocalypse.

Hello? Is there anyone in there?

Please, ma 'am, be patient.

Hello, are you finished yet? I don't
understand. I've chosen to be an

of God, not of Satan.

This is not about choice.

Your purpose is bigger than you.

Our individual roles collectively bring
about God's plan.

But many scholars disagree on the true
meaning of revelations. And what of free

will?

Can we not avoid a path of destruction
by changing our course? God

willed us that gift.

Open this door!

Ma 'am, I'm almost done!

Sometimes...

God commands us to play our part.

You too will betray mankind one day,
Gabriel.

It is in the prophecy.

I can't live with that. It goes against
everything I've learned in the

priesthood.

Do you hear it, Gabriel?

That sound is the collective evil voice
of all mankind.

Soon it will be loud enough.

And then it will begin.

Open this door!

Open it!

I control my destiny. My destiny does
not control me.

I thought science would change my
outlook, give

me some answers.

I guess I was wrong.

What does this thing want from us?

vessels we are hosts we're evil

the signal the

signal coming through the headphones the
the headphones on dr malik's head

we are not gonna let that be our destiny

Get away from there.

We'll make a run for the parking lot in
my car.

If we can get to the main road, I'll
call for help.

Pray you didn't see us come in here.

Shit. The lock doesn't work.

What is this?

I think we fit into one of these shoving
units.

Squeeze in, no matter what you do, don't
make a sound.

Thank you.

Give me your hand.

I've got a few bars.

Come on.

Bingo.

Jenkins?

Gabe. Just checking in to see if you had
met with Dr.

Malick. Uh, yes and no. There is a
problem.

A problem?

Why do I have a feeling you already
know?

Gabe, you are the right man for this.

I believe in you. A faithless priest
sent to deal with the discovery of hell.

I'm probably the exact wrong person for
the problem.

What is the state of Dr.

Malik? Dead.

Malik is dead.

And there's something else you need to
know. There's something inside the

observatory. It seemed like it crawled
right out of Malik. It's starting.

Just listen to me, please.

Malick is dead. I was nearly impaled.

This is serious. I think that everybody
is in danger.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay, I'll contact the authorities and
have them swing by the observatory.

Good.

Now we wait.

You okay, sister?

You're looking better.

Oh my God, I know.

I know why that thing didn't follow us.

It's using the satellite to send the
signal out over the radio waves.

Holy shit, we've got to stop this. We
need to stop the signal from being

transmitted to every radio satellite on
the planet.

You stay here. I'm going to try to shut
down the main radio control in the

generator room.

I'll turn it off from there.

I see you better than you see

yourself. Stay back.

Gabriel.

You know my name. What else do you know?

I know the soul of mankind.

You can't control your destiny.

Join us.

Join me, Gabriel.

You've been trying to kill us all night.

I'm not trying to kill you.

I'm trying to convert you.

You want to use us as vessels through
some sort of signal.

That's one way to describe it.

What's it like?

Hell.

Like Earth.

A lot like Earth. Don't come any closer.

Your death is not my end goal.

What is your end goal?

You are the Pale Rider.

You go to hell.

Where do you think we are?

No.

Mister, resist.

We don't have to accept this.

It's spreading, Dave.

Time is running out.

Soon, no one will be safe.

Help you.

Helping a nun.

Stab me with a compass.

Stay with me. Stay with me. Come on now.

Hey, hey.

Sit down here.

Stay with me, sister.

What are you saying?

Are you praying?

Lord's Prayer.

Lord's Prayer, okay?

Our Father, who art in heaven.

I would be their name, their kingdom
come, their will be done.

It's helping.

As we forgive those, it's working.

What a... God, oh my God.

I don't want to hurt you.

I think I feel it, I think I feel it.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

hold on hold on

Not sure.

It's okay. Trust me. I just want to see.

See?

It's dead.

Nope.

And it's growing.

Up you go. Come on, come on.

In here.

Now, three. One, two, three.

Good job. Okay.

Let's get to the water.

Good job.

All right.

You good?

have to stop this.

If I can throw the breakers in the main
fuse box and power down the generator,

it won't be able to communicate with the
probe or transmit the signal.

I'm going to try to get to the
generator.

Will you be okay here?

No! No, I won't believe it!

Powering down the facility won't stop
the probe.

It was never powered from here. If
anything, we need to keep it powered up

communicate with it to stop it from
transmitting the signal.

How do we communicate with the probe
that might be on the edge of our solar

system?

Okay.

Maybe Dr. Malik left an open line of
communication.

Input coordinates.

Fuck.

Sorry, we need the coordinates.

If we have the precise location of that
planet, and we know where the probe is

to feed it the directive...

Stop the transmission.

Space travel is like traveling anywhere,
right?

Land or sea.

We need longitude and latitude.

We need those numbers, though.

The numbers.

Coordinates.

The numbers.

The numbers you've been dreaming about.
You think that those are the coordinates

for the probe?

Okay, you're up.

Try again.

Go slower this time.

Damn it. All right.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Zero.

Did you add a zero?

Technically, they're coordinates. They
should have a zero.

Try with a zero.

Yeah.

All right.

Yes.

Yes, good job.

Excellent one. Okay.

That's a live feed.

What?

Sister, where are you going?

Sister!

The probe.

It was never at the edge of the solar
system.

It's been right here all along.

The thing that came out of Dr. Malik
didn't travel across space. It was

within him.

The same thing that was in you.

The same thing that's in all of us.

Hell.

is here on Earth.

All the evil.

It became a wave of darkness.

And it has the power to awaken the
monster in all

of us.

The biggest cosmic prank of all time.

Making mankind believe that hell was a
place far, far away.

When in reality, it's right here in
front of us.

It's always been here.

But deep down inside, you know it's the
truth.

Holocaust.

Famine. Disease.

It's not just irony that Earth is a
place where sickness, death, and

are in such endless abundance.

Moments of joy and pleasure are merely
meant to set us up for the next

moment of horror.

Joy only makes the pain more painful.

We are born in pain to a short...

and disappointing existence.

Each of us is walking the earth waiting
for our true inner selves to be

unleashed, to give rise to our
Necronauts.

Listen to the signal.

It is time to fulfill the prophecy.

You never called the authorities.

Why would I?

And the signal is being transmitted
through all the airwaves.

All roads have led to this moment in
time. Don't for a minute think this was

anything other than fate.

You are the Pale Rider.

Come to help unleash the Tribulation.

Even Judas knew he was cast to play a
pivotal role in the history of all

mankind.

Now it's your turn.

Let her. the signal transmit.

Awaken the Necronauts, Gabriel.

Unleash hell on earth.

Get to the car.

Save whoever you can.

And when he had opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice of the beast say,

Come and see.

And I looked, and there before me I saw
a pale horse.

Its rider's name was Death, and
following close behind was

Hell.

I can't ignore the voices any longer.

Go.

Save whoever you can from the signal.

Sister. Shocked to learn that we are all
born into the place we were taught to

fear. And that our demons are waiting to
be reborn.

To reign supreme in this time of
prophecy.

This time of tribulation.

You can run, sister.

But we will find you.

In a few hours, the signal will have
reached millions of us.

Soon.

We will all...
