Hello?

Hello, my name is Alistair Tilden.

These may be my last words.

A terrible accident happened at the lab today. Now my life is in danger.

It's all because of this.

God, Lindsay, you scared me.

What's going on?

You're supposed to be at practice.

Mr. McArdle's sick. Practice was canceled.

Daddy, what's wrong?

I'm in trouble, honey.

What kind of trouble?

It has to do with a project I was working on.

Did you call the police? It was too late for that. Pack your bags. We're leaving.

Where is it?

Lindsay?

No. No, not Lindsay.

Where's the vessel, Alistair?

I'll count to three.

One. What have you done with my daughter?

The vessel, Alistair!

Two. I won't tell you.

Lester, are you there?

It's Susan.

He's after us.

Whatever he is.

Hide the vessel.

I don't think he's going to stop until we're dead.

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

waves. The first wave is here.

My name is Cade 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 73, century 6.

A daughter of war meets the gallows when darkness' spirit takes flight.

In the land of the Eye of the Stag, Savior and Devil come together as one.

The eye of the stag could be Ohio, the Buckeye State.

I've come here to investigate the murder of Alistair Tilden.

His teenage daughter, Lindsay, is facing the death penalty for the crime.

Unfortunately, a team run amok isn't uncommon these days.

But Lindsay's father worked for ROCOM Industries, a high-tech weapon design

firm, and a prime target for the Gua.

Could Lindsay be the daughter of war that Nostradamus mentions?

Given the impending invasion,

I think it's worth the risk to find out.

Miss Tilden, my name is Jack Reynolds.

I'm from the North American Liberties Union.

We're interested in looking into your case.

I know. They said you were coming.

I didn't do it, Mr. Reynolds. I swear.

You have to get me out of here.

Let's just take it slow.

Take a deep breath.

I need you to tell me what happened.

One minute I was walking home, and the next thing I know, I was inside the

house, and he was there, dead.

You blacked out.

I don't remember going into the house.

I don't remember anything except for finding him in the study.

Did you see anyone, hear anything?

No, nothing.

I'm the one that called the police. Why would I call the police if I killed him?

Lindsay, your father was a research scientist for ROCOM.

Do you have any idea what he was working on?

He wasn't allowed to talk about it. I never knew anything.

What does this have to do with my father's death?

I'm not sure.

Did your father have any enemies?

Did he ever feel threatened by anybody?

I don't really know.

My dad was secretive.

Is there anything else that you can think of that might help your case?

Anything about your father?

Just that I loved him.

I loved him so much.

You believe me, don't you?

I believe you, Lindsay.

Do you know they're executing that psycho Lanning?

Yeah, I heard about it. Why?

I'm scared.

Scared I'm going to die like him.

So she said she's innocent.

Wake up, Foster. It's a sad world we live in.

Kids kill their parents. They kill their pets. They kill each other.

Used to be hopscotch and lemonade stands.

Today it's automatic weapons.

I don't know, Eddie. There was just something in her eyes.

Oh, don't let those baby blues fool you, dude.

All the evidence points to her.

Didn't you ever see the bad seed?

Hey, spare me this psych 101, will you?

This has got to be about Rokom. What'd you find?

Nothing. Not a zip.

Rokom's a high-tech firm that's got the best firewall money can buy.

And Eddie Nambulist couldn't crack it? Whoa, slow down there, cowboy.

Eddie cracked it for nothing.

Seems they've taken the entire R&D section offline.

There's no touching it now.

Sounds like they're scared.

You got an address?

You're not getting within two miles of that place.

They got security at the wazoo.

Eddie, you all right?

Yeah, sure, man.

Just finished buns of steel.

You're doing aerobics?

Sure, man. It's not just caffeine and junk food that keeps this body looking

this good.

I'm gonna... I'm trying not to think about that.

Okay, so Ro comes out.

So I do the next best thing.

Don't make a move.

You.

Hello, Kate.

So you've been watching Tilden's house. You think I was the killer?

Or the Roto-Rooter man.

So you don't buy the stuff about Lindsay Tilden killing her father?

Nope.

Do you?

I'm not sure.

So what are you doing here then, Foster?

Got a guac train up your sleeve?

Maybe. Why don't you tell me what you're doing here first?

Why?

So I can get the Cade Foster stamp of approval?

Look, if you've got something, maybe we can work together.

My family's a major stockholder in ROCOM Industries.

Okay. So what's the deal with Tilden?

The rumor is they're doing some radical stuff with molecular microprocessors.

Sounds like something that would bring the guai to the woodwork.

Agreed. A guy named Gordon McDonald was killed in the lab. A researcher.

The operation was shut down. No details given.

Then Alistair Tilden gets whacked.

That's all I've got. The police took Tilden's files out of here.

Evidence.

Well, they didn't get everything.

The 18th Annual Achievement Awards dinner?

Tilden's team won two years in a row.

This is Alistair Tilden.

Gordon McDonald.

The guy who was killed in the lab.

Susan Wilson, nanotechnologist.

And this is a computer scientist, Francis Jeffries.

Rest of your team outside.

This is my watch.

Running solo surveillance?

You the only one that runs solo, tough guy?

Who the hell is that?

Well, it ain't the Roto-Rooter man.

Easy, Chief.

Please don't shoot me.

Don't shoot me.

What the hell were you doing at Tilden's house?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where am I?

How did I get here?

Hey, Foster.

Hey, Eddie.

Meet Jordan Radcliffe. Finally. I get to meet the brains behind Cade Foster.

Peter Piper picked a pickled pepper.

And I beat him up for trespassing.

It's our password.

You can't be too careful these days, given the Gua's cloning technology.

Cute.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Jordan.

How you doing, Eddie?

Welcome to my humble abode.

What?

Some kind of energy went from the guy into the woman driving the car.

Wait a second, you're talking like an energy transfer?

Maybe. I mean, that's what it looked like. But what was transferred?

Well, don't say consciousness.

The Gua have a special process for transferring consciousness.

I mean, if this guy was Gua, he wouldn't be able to do anything without a

machine. This guy had no memory of what he'd been doing. He was like Lindsay.

It's as if they were someone else during that time. They can't transfer by touch.

Maybe the Gua infiltrated ROCOM.

Got him to develop some kind of a transfer process.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

We've got two scientists dead, and these two unaccounted for. We have to find

them. I'll send out Ravenation recon teams to their houses, see if they can

find any leads.

Send a team to Susan Wilson's. We'll take Jeffrey's house.

Okay.

Hey.

What the hell is that?

Uh, this is an Eddie special number five.

Three slices of white bread, ham, pickles, cream cheese, peanut butter,

liverwurst, fresh orange slices, anchovies, dash of Tabasco.

Knock yourself out.

Thanks, but I think I'm gonna pass.

All right.

I am not pleased with your progress, Francis.

I have the situation in hand.

And where is the vessel?

I assure you, it will be recovered.

We could defeat this miserable species.

Without firing a shot.

Simply by using this device.

But you haven't brought it to me.

There has been a complication.

Do tell.

I was chased from my search. They were armed.

A man and a woman.

Who?

Who were they?

Okay. Keep in touch.

Thanks for keeping an eye on him.

Find anything?

Nothing deserted. What about your recon team? Same thing. No sign of Susan

Wilson. Neighbor said she left in a hurry. Mentioned something about

Bradley's.

Let's check it out.

There's 629 people with the first, middle, or last name of Bradley within a

60-mile radius.

My team found an empty box for a Coleman Lantern, receipt for a sleeping bag.

Eddie, any campgrounds or parks around connected to the name Bradley?

Give me a minute.

I'll get back to you.

Good thinking.

That's why I make the big bucks.

I find this news very troubling, Frances.

I know.

The prophecy of the Fifth Harbinger warns us.

Their alliance could spell our defeat.

117 and the woman must not get the vessel.

I assure you, they won't. For your sake, I hope not.

Bring me the vessel, Francis.

Grind them into dust.

I got it.

It's Jordan. What you got? There's a Bradley Hills hideaway in the Lakes

District. Nice job, Eddie.

Avec plaisir, chérie.

Merci beaucoup.

What are you doing?

Just practicing my French, Foster. It's the international language of love.

Keep your eyes open and don't trust anybody.

Do I ever?

Look around back.

Meet at the last cabin.

Howdy. Please.

Don't. Don't.

Who are you?

I just work here.

Please.

Sorry.

Police business. You better clear on out of here. Yeah.

You would have killed him.

That's the idea, isn't it? He's human.

Right now, he's Gwa.

If a human has to die to stop this monster, then so be it. That's not the

way I work.

I think I found Susan.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I know who you are.

You're Francis Jeffries.

My name is Cage, Susan. We're here to help you.

How do you know my name?

We know about ROCOM Industries.

And Tilden. So does Jeffries.

Stay away from me! I'm not Jeffries.

There's no one else left at ROCOM. We need to talk to you.

There's no one left.

We're all dead.

We're not going to hurt you, Susan.

We found Jeffries in the lab, working on the vessel.

And then all of a sudden, there was some kind of power surge.

And then Jeffries touched Gordon, and this energy moved into him.

And then Alistair took the vessel, and I ran out of there.

And I guess Gordon never made it.

What happened to Jeffries' body?

This is going to sound crazy, but it just disintegrated.

Does that make any sense?

Yes, it sure does.

Susan, we want to stop Jeffries, but we need to know exactly what he was after.

We called it the vessel.

It was a nickname for the VSSL project.

VSSL?

Virtual Super Storage Logarithm. It's a weapon.

What kind of weapon?

Think of it as a handheld supercomputer.

Its main function is that it can suck every bit of information out of another

computer's memory without even touching it.

Somehow Jeffries must have figured out how to use it on himself.

We have to find it.

If Tilden escaped with the vessel, then his daughter must know something.

I already talked to her.

Maybe it's time I talked to her.

Hey, watch your back.

Foster, I'm a big girl.

But I appreciate your concern.

Susan, you should come with me. We'll get you somewhere safe.

There's no telling when Jeffries may want to return engagement.

Okay.

Lindsay, I'm looking for something your father may have brought home the day he

was killed.

My mother died three years ago.

Do you know that?

No. I'm sorry.

She had cancer.

My dad and I were never that close until she got sick.

Did you ever know anyone that died?

Yes.

My brother.

And my parents.

See, that's kind of why I'm here.

I think that the same people that killed them are responsible for your father's

death.

What's that?

A symbol for the Raven Nation.

Lindsay, I need you to trust me.

Tell me what happened that day.

I'm sorry, I don't remember anything.

Did your father have any hiding places?

He was dealing with a lot of top secret stuff.

I don't know. He kept to himself mostly.

I'd like to talk to Socrates.

Socrates? What do you mean?

This statue my mom gave him was in the foyer.

And that was pretty weird.

The vessel uses a quantum molecular processing chip, coupled with a

transceiver that doubles the speed.

I get it.

I get it.

It's fantastic.

Well, you should have seen it work, Eddie. It was beautiful.

Put Foster on the line.

Did she help you out?

Unbelievable, man.

This thing is huge.

No one to the Gua wanted so bad.

So what do you think? Could this thing download a consciousness?

From what Susan said, definitely.

Jeffries must have used an electrical charge as a catalyst to separate himself

from his husk, then into the vessel.

From there, he was essentially unbound, somehow transferring by touch.

That device might let everyone do the same thing.

Yeah, yeah, that's it, man. I mean, the aliens get their hands on this and game

over.

They won't have to grow any husks.

Every human on the planet will be right for the picking.

That's why they're not going to get their hands on it.

When are you and Susan going to get here?

We've got to go by Susan's sister's place first, pick up her son, make sure

that he's safe.

Great. Love kids.

Good. Might need you to do some babysitting.

I wonder what you know.

Anyone home?

My sister's still working, but my son should be home from school.

Patrick?

Sweetie, you here?

Yeah.

Hey, Mom.

Yeah, come on, baby. It's time to go.

Wait.

Who are you?

He's just a friend. I'll explain in the car. Just a second.

Patrick, who's your teacher?

Answer the question.

Miss McArdle.

Right?

Stay right there. Oh, my God.

Mommy, I missed you so much.

I want the vessel, Suzanne.

Don't have it.

The vessel, now.

Don't move.

Go ahead, Foster.

Shoot me.

No!

You can't do it, can you?

Mom,

what happened?

Now,

where were we?

Foster, it's Jordan. I found the vessel.

Eddie's checking it out right now.

Well,

tell him to be careful.

Is he still in the same place?

Yeah. We're at Tinson.

Foster, is everything okay?

Everything's perfect.

Eddie!

Damn, boss, you scared the hell out of me.

Sorry.

I've been analyzing this quantum vessel.

It's amazing.

Where is it?

Oh, I hid that puppy good.

We are on to something big here, dude.

What do you mean?

With this thing.

We can literally suck a Gua consciousness out of a tusk.

Right? So you build enough vessels and we can beat every one of these alien

sons of bitches.

Hey, sounds pretty good to me.

Yeah.

Where's Jordan?

She went out to go get some supplies. Her taste buds aren't sophisticated

enough for an Eddie special.

Hey.

Oh, that's delicious.

You okay?

Oh, yeah, I'm just hungry as hell.

So where is it?

Where's what?

The vessel, dude.

Let's have a little peek at that baby.

Foster, are you all right?

Sure. Dude?

Peter Piper picked a pickled pepper?

That's pretty good. You do it three times fast.

The vessel!

Jordan's on her way back! The vessel!

She's armed and dangerous!

So am I!

I'm gonna give you a count of three.

One, two, three!

You go ahead and kill me.

Where's the vessel, you freak?

I'm gonna have to kill you now, buddy.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

lead on jeffries i gotta go check out hold on let me give the stuff to eddie

i'll come with you no no it's okay you uh you keep eddie company it'll just

take a second i gotta go foster everything okay everything's just peachy

Jordan, I screwed up.

I didn't ask the password right away.

Shh. It's okay.

Thank you.

I'm just glad he didn't kill you.

Oh, man.

Now the gwa got a device that's gonna let them jump into our bodies anytime

they want.

Come on, Eddie.

Isn't there any way we can track Foster?

Maybe.

I might be able to triangulate the roam signal of his cell phone.

You find Cade.

I'll get the vessel.

I'm on it.

Jordan, wait.

How are we going to stop Francis Jeffries without killing Foster?

This is Francis Jeffries.

I'm ready for pickup.

That's right.

I'll be on the dock.

Oh, you'll definitely recognize me.

Any luck?

Got it.

At the end of Route 87 in Monmouth County, there's a commercial seaplane

dock. He's obviously going to fly somewhere and deliver the vessel.

Not if I can help it.

Jordan? Yeah?

Cade's my best friend.

I know.

Memory's full.

I think the transfer worked.

Foster?

Is that you?

Hold on.

One way to be sure.

Get that away from me!

Welcome back, buddy.

What happened?

Tranquilizer. Ten cc's of nebutal out of a modified sniper's rifle and a maxed

out defib at 350.

Jeffries took over your body, man.

We got him out using a vessel.

How?

We used a high voltage defibrillator.

It blew his control of you and threw him back into the vessel.

Take a look at this.

I found it at Tilden's house.

at the lab today.

Now my life is in danger.

It's all because of this.

I'm not sure what happened. There was a power surge.

Jeffries was electrocuted.

That must have been what allowed him to use the vessel.

I know he's after me. He killed Gordon.

I'm next. I have to go.

Tell my daughter I love her.

See, between Tilton's video and a conversation I had with Susan, I had a

theory about how to yank Jeffrey's consciousness out of your body and into

the vessel.

I'm just glad it worked.

Can we use it against the wall?

I don't think so.

See, this is a prototype.

And putting Jeffrey's consciousness out of you pretty much fried the entire

circuit board.

This thing is as good as junk.

What about Jeffrey's?

This is the core memory, dude.

This is where Jeffrey's is.

And where he's going to stay.

Hold on. If he got out once, he could get out again.

We've got to make sure that we've beaten Jeffries.

You said an electrical charge catalyzes his release.

Yeah, that's how he jumps into a human body.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking about a way to stop Jeffries from ever jumping bodies again.

What's the diagnosis, Doc?

Gonna live another 30 seconds, right?

The Gua tried to obtain a weapon that could have spelled easy victory in their

invasion.

As always, innocent people were hurt.

Fortunately, Tilden's videotape casts enough doubt on Lindsay's case to have

it dismissed.

But the Gua have put her in a prison not defined by bars.

They've destroyed her life.

I wonder how many more people have to suffer before this nightmare ends.

I hope one day it's a distant memory.

As for today, we continue to fight them.

Today, our army grows by one.
