was earth.

So the almighty force said, behold the children of men.

They are impure.

They are imperfect.

They are weak. We must establish our kingdom on earth.

The children of men will welcome us with wide open arms.

So the almighty force cast one of their own in the image of man.

And the divine shepherd did come down from the stars to lead the lambs to the

after time.

And his name was Elton Belli.

But here on earth, my children, a simple truth has revealed itself.

Yes, the almighty force lied to you. And worse, they lied to me.

You have free will.

You give me power.

You lift me up. You give me life.

I will not lead you to the after time, for it will be your

slaughter.

Even now, the countdown to your destruction has begun.

Only one hope remains.

Follow me, your Savior, and we will begin a countdown of our oaths. Are

you with me?

Then count down with me to your salvation.

Five, will you bear false witness against me? Four, will you faithfully

obey all my commands?

Three, will you honor me above all others?

Two, will you promise?

Sexual fidelity to me. One.

Will you place false gods before me? Your one true savior.

And let us rise together.

Follow me, children, and I will deliver you from the wrath of the almighty

force. Look at him, Cassandra.

I will bear your suffering.

In 1564, Nostradamus predicted the destruction of Earth in three terrifying

waves. The first wave is here.

My name is Kate Foster.

These are my journals.

They killed my wife, framed me for murder.

Now I run, but I don't hide.

With the prophecies of Nostradamus as my guide, I seek them.

I hunt them.

I will stop.

The first wave.

Quatrain 11, century 2. The star-born one will fly into the hearts of many

with promises of salvation.

This Nostradamus prediction has brought me to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where a

grassroots preacher claims extraterrestrial ancestry.

If Elton Belli is an alien, this could be a chance to clear my name and expose

the conspiracy.

Posing as a down-and-out drifter, I'm here to join Elton's cult.

Hell, we can all use a little saving.

Come on in.

Don't worry.

Everyone leaves their past life at the front door.

I wish that was true.

Well, the strongest souls emerge from suffering.

Elton says that.

Then mine must be made of steel, or stone, or rock, or something.

Come on.

Let's get you signed in.

So, how did you hear about Elton Belay?

In Atlanta, they talk about him when they get real down and out. There's no

place to go.

I thought I'd come see if what they say is true.

Well, Elton's sundown service starts in an hour.

You decide what's true.

There's nowhere else to go.

Have a seat.

To start a new path, you do need to leave the old. Are you prepared to do

that?

I'm here.

Okay. Then I'll need your wallet, your keys, and any personal belongings.

What? I look like a mark to you?

You don't need any material possessions here.

Elton provides for us.

And I get my stuff back if I don't want to stay, right?

Of course.

Everything's stored in the back.

You know your name?

Cade Metz.

What?

I just got a chill.

Seeing you sitting there reminds me when I sat in the same seat.

You've got a lot to look forward to.

Like what? Like singing songs, holding hands around the campfire?

That's what my sister Cassie thought, too, until she joined me here.

It's not like that.

I found meaning in my life with Elton.

No one ever did that for me.

No one even tried.

All right.

A cell phone?

I used to run errands on the street.

Well, you won't need this here.

Not anymore.

Not with Elton.

The way you talk about him sounds like more than just a country preacher.

He's no preacher.

They told me that... Alton is not of mankind. He came down from above.

Above?

Where exactly is that?

Nobody knows.

In his sermons, he speaks of his home in the stars.

You ever see how we got here?

Spaceship, maybe?

Elton came down to deliver us from the after time.

Malkin Cade, and you'll witness his wrath before his salvation.

I look at you and I see clay pots formed from the earth.

The value doesn't lie in the pot, but what's inside.

You have to fill yourselves with the power,

It comes from my love.

Elton. Yes.

I've been clean for a month.

When I'm with you, I feel okay. I feel your love.

But when I'm alone in my dorm room, the cravings come back.

Come to me, child.

What you feel.

Are the wicked ways of the world calling out to you?

You are no longer their slave.

There.

Feel my heart.

The next time you are tempted, remember what you feel now.

Your heart.

My heart.

Do you understand?

Good.

All of you.

When you are lonely, I'll be there.

In the silence of your souls, you'll hear my voice.

Elton, two months now I've been here.

I've listened to your words. They've changed me.

But my wife at home, I can't stop thinking about her.

I need to go home. Come here, Jack.

I've sacrificed everything to save you, and this is how you repay me.

Your heart, my heart.

Do you understand?

One day my work will be understood.

One day.

Remember my lesson.

A broken man has nothing to look backward on with pride and nothing to

look forward to with hope.

I see a new face in the crowd.

Cade Metz.

And what brings you here, Cade?

I feel like... I feel like I'm on the run.

Searching.

But I just can't seem to find what I need to set me free.

And what are you running from?

A darkness that's taken over my life.

I know, it sounds foolish.

I wonder who's more foolish.

A child afraid of the dark, or a man afraid of the light?

Oh, I'm not afraid of the light.

Welcome to my sanctuary.

May you find the answers you seek here.

Can't wait for that.

We'll now close with the supplication.

You don't know what you're saying.

Elton loves us. Yeah, he loved Jack so much he put him in the infirmary.

Jack didn't let Elton's love inside.

He missed his wife.

Cassie, if the work of God could be comprehended by reason, it would cease

to be divine.

Listen to you. Talking gibberish. I don't care about Elton's work.

Then what the hell are you doing here, Cassie? I care about what's happening to

my sister.

This place is dangerous.

I'm happy here.

Happier than I've ever been in my whole life.

I just wish you could be happy for me.

Jen.

Thought Elton Land was the happiest place on Earth.

Better warn you, sarcasm doesn't go over big around here.

You must be Jenny's little sister, Cassie.

Yeah? Met her yesterday. She's real sweet.

She said when you first came here, you weren't too sure about this place.

You still feel that way?

Why do you ask?

I saw you looking around during prayer last night.

Isn't that, I don't know, some kind of a sin or something?

Had a stiff neck.

Why are you here, Cassie?

Same reason as you.

I love Elton.

Well, I don't. I came here to stop him. Will you help me? Who sent you?

It's your first test. You're not the heretic?

No.

You can't talk here.

Let's go for a walk.

Jenny had it all, you know.

In line for partnership at her law firm.

Just put money down on a townhouse.

Doesn't sound like she had much need for Elton Bella.

You wouldn't think.

None of it meant anything to her.

One day she was alone and feeling lonely and decided that her

life lacked meaning.

Unfortunately, she found it here.

You hope by joining the cult you could convince her to leave?

What else could I do?

Elton doesn't allow communication in or out.

I mean, my family hired a private investigator from Atlanta who

specialized in cult deprogramming.

And what happened?

Don't know.

Never heard from him again.

All right, I'm going to dig around a bit, see what I can come up with on

Elton. Do you know where he stays?

Right there.

You ever been inside?

No.

Strict orders to stay away.

Really?

And the traitor shall be revealed.

Cade, I'll only ask you this once.

There will be no retribution for how you answer.

Yes or no.

But there will be a price to pay if you lie.

Do you understand me, Cave?

Yes.

Then tell me.

Did you enter my study tonight?

No, Elton. I'd never dare.

Don't trust him, Elton. I found him lurking outside your study.

Patience.

I want to hear what he has to say.

Were you instructed in our ways?

Yes, Elton.

I'm forbidden to leave my room after evening service. And yet, here you are.

I'm here to tell you that I can't stay.

I was thinking about what you said tonight in my room, and I'm not worthy.

I'm not worthy of your perfect love.

No one's worthless who lightens the burden of another.

You've lightened my burden tonight by reminding me how desperate mankind is

for my salvation.

You don't believe him. Silence!

You're a part of my family now.

Go.

Learn the rules of my house.

From now on, you must obey them.

Thanks, Ron.

Never question me in front of my servant, Zachary.

You are my first disciple, but you can't forget your place.

I seek only to protect

you, Lord.

What if you were sent by the others?

Can't pretend to understand your ways.

But you don't listen to their messages anymore.

They call you every night. I don't care about them, Zachary.

How did you ignore them? They have no hold on me anymore.

The servant has become the master!

Has anyone ever left here?

You have?

No, just lets them go.

Yeah, calls them fallen souls.

The nearest town's miles away.

You ever see a cat pull up right there?

Not that I recall.

Why do you ask?

What's going on over there?

Restricted zone. No one's allowed under the revival hall. It's a rule.

I mean, those around here.

You say that I have a hunch those fallen souls never left here.

What do you mean?

Last night I broke into Elm's study.

Found a strong box full of personal stuff.

Watches, credit cards, wallets.

Maybe they belong to people still here.

Yeah. I thought that too.

Until I found this.

I'm an investigator. Your family called.

Oh, my God. He did come here.

And he never left.

At least not alive.

Oh, my God. We've got to get out of here now. We've got to go. How far do you

think we'll get before Zachary and those dogs track us down?

Let's see if we make it back to the guards at the gate.

No.

Just a need to get myself on the induction center.

Hey, Kate.

Hi. So what do you think so far? You like it here?

I've learned a lot about Elton's ways.

Well, just wait. It gets better.

You'll never feel as much love and acceptance as you do here.

Elton embraces all of our faults.

As long as you embrace him in return.

So, what are you doing here?

I just wanted to make sure that Graham found you.

There's a new guy wandering around lost out there.

Nobody's supposed to be in the compound without passing through here.

Can you cover for me?

Sure. Yeah, he's a great big guy with red hair. You can't miss him. Okay,

thanks. And if anybody comes, just make them feel welcome. I will.

Foster. Eddie. About time.

Thought maybe you found a religion or something.

I need you to track down a guy named Randy Sheridan.

He's a private investigator out of Atlanta.

I found his ID in Elton's study.

You think maybe the preacher got to him?

Maybe. The quickest way for me to expose Elton is to prove he's done something

wrong here.

You're going to need more than an ID, buddy.

You're going to need some real proof.

Yeah, well, don't worry. I'll get it.

Listen, Eddie, we've got a certified alien on our hands here.

Elton talks about being part of an almighty force from the stars.

He's talking about the invasion.

But he's cloaking it all in religious terms. Maybe he's trying to create a new

religion so that we'll welcome the almighty force on bent knee.

Uh-uh.

He's warning us of the after time.

Letting us know we're about to be slaughtered.

And he wants to save us from it.

I think Ellen's gone off the deep end. All right, let's go back to the quad

train, huh?

All right.

The fervid one will fly into the hearts of many with promises of salvation.

but vanity will destroy his purpose and bring vengeance from his own.

That's it.

Elton's in vain.

He's getting off on it, the power. He thinks he's unstoppable.

Classic God complex. Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite, they all

went through it.

Bingo.

They're vulnerable.

The illegal is just my guess, Eddie.

Foster, this is our best chance yet to expose one of these guys.

You get me evidence that someone's been killed, I'll have FBI agents raining

down on Elton like manna from heaven.

I gotta go.

I just checked at the guard gate.

Nobody's been through here in the past two hours.

Oh.

Well, someone must be playing a trick on me or something.

What are you going to do?

You don't understand.

Make me understand.

Help.

You.

Step away, now.

Thank you, Zachary.

Everything's going to be fine here.

This man injured one of our guards. Zachary!

Did you come here alone? Yes.

Unofficially.

I have respect for who you were.

Who I was.

An unthinking operative for the Supreme Goa.

On this planet, I'm God.

You're mad.

On this planet or any other.

If I'm mad, there are certainly pleasures in... Being mad?

Which none but a madman know.

Is there pleasure in death?

That's a sentence you bring upon yourself.

You know, I could get into death.

This world praises dead saviors and persecutes living ones.

What happened to you, Elt?

You were an acolyte.

One of our best military leaders.

And you were my friend.

I succeeded in... You failed.

The Gua agenda was to study the relationships humans had with their

spiritual leaders.

To see if we could create followers who would embrace us as gods.

Instead, you breached experiment protocol and made us into devils.

But it is said that a devil hath the power to assume a pleasing shape.

Isn't that what we are to them?

Devils? It doesn't matter what we are to them.

All that matters is our survival.

Our survival.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

I'd rather you not.

We underestimated them, Joshua.

They look like easy prey, but they are driven by something we lack.

Hope.

That's how I reach them, by giving them hope. If you ignore that part of them,

it could be the weapon that defeats you.

By morning, I expect this compound to be vacated.

Report to the center in Atlanta.

Or the next time you see me, it will be official.

You can kill me, Joshua.

But beware of the consequences.

The bill venerates you in your death?

No.

But they'll raise up a new savior in my place.

If our years together mean anything, you won't force me to return.

Eddie, it's Cade.

I don't know what's going on around here, but Elton's got his guards all

over the place.

I had to climb the telephone pole and tap the junction box to call you.

I found a body buried underneath the revival hall.

And I'll lay odds there's more under there.

I've been checking. You were right.

Nobody's heard from Sheridan in two weeks.

I'll have the feds swarming Elton's place by dawn. If they capture him, we

get the government to run DNA tests.

Cascade's the whole works, Eddie.

Elton's a renegade, loose cannon.

Maybe he'll even talk.

But right now, you want it for murder.

My advice, you blow out of there now before the feds lay siege.

I can't.

I promised a girl I'd help.

Look, you can come forward after the feds take Elton into custody.

I ain't ready.

From up above, I look down

upon the earth.

And I saw a tomb.

And the stench of death was nigh.

And so I descended in the divine act of love, as intimate as the rustle of

sheets.

I took the form of man, for you would not comprehend me otherwise.

But as a man, I am bound by the primitive cravings of man.

And so, You gather here to feel my warmth, to ease my suffering.

Who will minister to me tonight?

Hmm.

Cassandra, the silent one.

How is it that you never sing my praises?

Shy I guess Come with me and

Be my love and We will all the pleasures prove

You're a spiritual leader and a pervert You will accept my love

or you will feel my wrath Take me Elton, she's new here. She doesn't understand.

Take me.

This is your God? Silence!

The service is over.

Let's start over Cassandra.

I'm willing to forgive you for your insults This

is a naive champagne without any breeding But I

think you'll be amused by its presumption Sounds like every cheap

pickup line I've heard Very well, then we'll discard the foreplay

I said no.

So you like it rough?

Well, I... You don't know what rough is. On our planet, fornication is the most

painful of rituals.

Maybe it's time I show you.

Stop! Get off her!

Judas, among my disciples.

I've seen your brand of salvation, Elton.

And to tell you the truth, I'm not that impressed.

I know what you are.

You were right, Zachary. This man's a heretic.

Secure him for the night.

Tomorrow at first light, gather my flock for a special communion.

Special communion?

That's when Cade Metz will witness my power.

and learn the meaning of divine retribution.

Come on.

Let's go.

The time has come, as I knew it must.

His savior's a killer!

His body's underneath the revival hall!

Go see for yourself!

Enough!

There's a gospel in this place. They know about Sheridan and the others.

You're lying.

You know that son of a

bitch is an alien. You act like a slave. I know they're here. I know they'll

destroy us.

Hypotist.

You're a slave.

Together we've

touched

grace, haven't we?

But the molten brimstone of the outside world has sneaked a path to our door.

And so today, I have called for a special communion.

Good. Now, on my signal, we will share from the cup.

That's right. You know one without.

We will share our great future together.

Now, this wine symbolizes my blood.

Whosoever drinks from it.

shall escape damnation in the after time and find everlasting salvation in my

kingdom. Drink from those cups and you'll die.

Silence.

The almighty force has initiated the countdown to our destruction.

Our only chance for freedom is to exit this life to another.

Join me in this flight.

or else face the hellfires of their wrath on earth.

Now, drink from the cup for our salvation.

No!

You have nothing to fear from me if you're a god.

Let me speak my peace. Shut up.

Or do a few words from a mere human scare you?

Let him free.

Let him speak his final words.

Listen to what I have to say, Zachary.

You more than anyone know the truth.

Most of what Elton said is true.

He is part of an almighty race.

And he has rejected them. But he rejected them because of you.

Leaders are only as strong as their followers.

You have the strength to change Elton.

More so than he ever changed you.

The power lies in each of you.

Don't give up your lives.

Don't drink the wine. But Elton is a god. We've witnessed his miracles. Yes,

yes. We've seen it.

Behold, my miracle.

Elton's greatest power was to convince you you needed him.

You don't. All you need is yourselves.

And believe in each other.

Secure him, Zachary.

Zachary.

My kingdom has come.

Perhaps you bring them salvation.

You two get out of here.

I'll meet you outside the gate, okay?

Foster. Where are they, Eddie?

Where are the FBI? Where are the federal agents you promised? The message had

went out.

Someone put the clamps down from the inside.

We lost them.

Hell's dead.

Still got the evidence.

No! There's nothing left here!

There's nothing left!

We lost everything.

I'm sorry, Cade.

So close, yet so far.

The chances of proving my innocence dissolved right along with Eldon. But

I've learned that the aliens are not immune to the most human of flaws.

Vanity.

Maybe these flaws can be exploited in the battle that lies ahead.

One thing's for sure.

To put too much faith in any leader is to give up one's own power.

Leaders are just guideposts.

We have to make our own decisions for ourselves.

As I continue my journey, I will look not for followers, But believers, it is

they who will confront the almighty, all terrible force that lives among us.

Pray with me now. Pray for a return.

Oh, God, grant your grace upon the Savior and shield him from trouble on

the journey ahead.

For he is the one come to lead us from the valley of death.

For he is the merciful one, the man stout of heart.

For he is the twice blessed man.

Yeah.
