Original subtitles

Thank you for coming, Dr. Hutchinson. I assume you've reviewed the preliminary

files I sent you.

It's the strangest case I've ever studied.

There are similarities to Jim Jones, Charles Manson, David Koresh, Reverend

Moon. I really need the perspective of an expert in collective delusions and

deprogramming.

How were they caught?

Breaking into a medical storage facility on the south side.

They claimed it was the secret headquarters of an alien invasionary

force.

Fascinating. This is Larry Pazinski, but he likes to call himself Crazy Eddie.

Low self-esteem and a mammoth persecution complex.

He says he's reciting quatrains, the prophecies of Nostradamus.

Supposedly they're a guide to fighting aliens.

Nostradamus?

This is Jordan Radcliffe, heir to the Radcliffe fortune.

Oh, I read about her in the papers.

Didn't her brother kill her parents?

Murder-suicide.

I believe the trauma made her ripe for the collective delusion.

Textbook.

Coping mechanism.

Unfortunately, so is suicide.

Two recent attempts.

Hello, Ms. Radcliffe?

Your alien torture won't work, Gua.

You get nothing from me.

Who are the Gua?

The aliens they believe are invading.

This patient was last seen wandering the streets of Chicago.

A year later, he turns up with this group.

Joshua Bridges, former U.S. Marine Sergeant out of Fort Winston.

I've diagnosed him acute schizophrenic.

He doesn't look violent.

Feeling better, Doctor?

He almost broke my neck during our first interview.

He's sedated now.

Joshua also thinks that he's part of the human resistance fighting the aliens?

No, he thinks he is an alien.

Albeit a renegade one who sided with humanity.

How did he get the scars?

Self-inflicted.

He claimed that as an alien, his wounds would heal instantly.

I saved the best for the last.

In here is the mind that started it all.

Cade Foster strangled his wife, Hannah, three years ago, then went on the run to

fight the aliens he claimed had killed her.

Says he was subject 117 in an alien experiment.

The others are convinced he's the savior of mankind.

Exculpatory rationalization to murder.

Sympathetic mythology.

Grandiose self-perception.

Classic narcissist.

Yet charismatic enough to seduce these people. Well, you have to challenge

them. Make them see that it's a fantasy.

Break them of the collective delusion.

I think I can help.

I know you're here. I know you're here. I know you're here.

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.

Does everything end where it begins?

That's what I'm left to wonder in these final hours.

Stuck in a psychiatric ward, interrogated by doctors who think I'm

crazy.

I believe they're human.

If they were Guai, I'd be dead.

Not that it helps now.

The invasions upon us and the human race doesn't want to know a damn thing.

But they'll sure as hell know when the war comes.

Cade.

Cade, can we continue?

I told you.

19 million people are projected to die on the first day. And that day's today!

You said that yesterday, Cade.

Yesterday. Today, tomorrow. We're still screwed!

Of course.

Tell Dr. Hutchinson here about Mavis.

Mavis is the leader of the Gua, a prophesied antichrist.

You fought this, Mavis.

Well, if Mavis is so powerful, how did you survive, Cade?

I've said enough.

You got my name, rank, and number. That's it.

Jordan, let's drop the aggressiveness, okay?

Dr. Hutchinson is here to help.

You said that your army was effectively destroyed by aliens.

Why did they let you live?

Please answer the question.

I want to talk to Foster.

Jordan, there is no army.

There is no Raven Nation.

You were manipulated by Cade Foster into believing in a fantasy.

You can't keep me here!

On the contrary, Jordan.

I've checked with the executor of your family's estate.

He's...

Concerned about you.

He asked that we keep you here a while.

Something you'd like to say?

You're dead, Kuala.

I'm not United States military.

You were stationed to ship out with your unit to Yugoslavia.

You went AWOL the day before.

I am not United States military.

You had gotten citation for combat bravery in the Gulf.

Why do the chicken dance now?

Damn you, human.

I'm Gua, an acolyte.

You are Joshua Bridges, staff sergeant of the U.S. Marines.

Maybe this will help.

Your daughters, Melanie and Andrea.

I'm a seventh dawn of the seventh day. Twice plus man will run the fields. And

the shadows with his brethren are saving to one who lost the ground.

I'm a seventh dawn of the seventh day. Twice plus man will run the fields.

Deuce!

That's it.

Foster!

Foster, I figured it out!

Hey, what is it?

An omega-quatrain!

The fifth one!

What?

What do you mean? It was coded in an algorithm in the other quatrains.

I think I solved it. Listen.

As the second wave is nigh, four must be chained strong as one.

Hammer can smite victor.

Is that it?

What's the rest of it?

Hammer can smite victory.

If honor is granted to Zavala.

What does that mean?

I'll work on it.

Look, meanwhile, we've got to find that hammer.

Zavala.

So these are the prophecies of Nostradamus, hmm?

They're omega quatrains.

Tell me, do all French prophets write about the future in the English

language?

These were in Aramaic.

And he wrote them for Foster.

Did he write them or did you?

I'm a genius, not a mystic. And you agreed to talk to us if I took your salt

test.

Now tell me, Eddie, what is this?

Is this the hammer?

What is that, the hammer?

Hi, Eddie.

I know that you have a brilliant mind.

But why don't you have any evidence?

It ain't easy to get.

No biological or chemical residue?

Not one shred of physical proof to substantiate anything on the Gua.

When they die, their DNA code creates fast-burning acid that destroys their

body and anything else within the immediate vicinity.

Hmm. It's a little convenient, don't you think?

Do you have a sexual relationship with Katie Foster?

No.

Jordan, one of Foster's journal entries talks about a sexual encounter with you.

It says that you were possessed by a demon named Mabus, who made you sleep

with Foster for some unknown purpose.

How did you know what I went through?

I have an idea.

You fell in love with a wife murderer.

And he put you under his spell.

He used you, and you dedicated yourself to him like any abused woman.

Explain this hammer that everyone keeps talking about.

It's a device,

a weapon.

A weapon that can stop them.

And you can use this weapon.

Kate, we're just trying to understand.

You don't believe a word I'm saying.

I think this is a good time to get down to the root of everything.

Why don't you talk about Hannah?

No!

Why don't you tell me how you feel about Hannah?

Tell me what you remember about your wife, Kate.

I didn't kill my wife.

That was already settled in court, Cade.

The authorities also have questions about some unsolved homicides across the

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

Eyewitnesses placed you at the scene.

Some even witnessed your involvement.

Here, take a look.

Under the guise of a mission to stop aliens...

You went on a murder spree across the country.

I know what I saw.

I know what I did.

They weren't aliens, Foster. They were innocent people.

We read about these aliens in one of your journals.

We found it in your duffel bag.

Can someone who's insane tell us they're insane?

They're not insane.

We're gonna get the hammer.

Stop Mavis. Stop this invasion.

I know where the hammer is, Jordan.

Let's go!

Come on, sweetheart.

You're not crazy, Eddie.

Don't you understand?

I'm not crazy!

It's a trap.

They're screwing with our heads.

Shake it off!

We triggered security measures.

It's low-frequency sound waves.

Massive hallucinations. Old tricks, huh, buddy? You know it.

Where the hell are we?

The Gua bunker.

I remember.

We traced heavy Gua movement to this area.

Cade, you have to see this.

I'd say we came to the right place.

That's not what I meant.

The second wave.

The invasion isn't on its way.

It's already here.

My God.

There must be millions of us.

Just waiting to be brought to life.

An invasion from above without an aerial attack.

You didn't know about this?

I'm as surprised as you are.

The Gwadon grow these husks overnight.

It must have taken years.

Preparation for the second wave strictly followed Mabes' plans.

Plans which changed as a result of Foster's efforts.

You led us into this place, Joshua.

How could you not know? Hey, hey.

This is not helping.

What's your take, Joshua?

Typically... A consciousness is downloaded into a husk, but one at a

time.

They must have created a system to download millions at once.

They can do that?

A download of this magnitude would take months and require massive amounts of

energy.

This seems impossible.

Then they must have figured out how to do the impossible.

What the hell could power something like that?

I don't know.

But we have to stop this download.

A mainframe computer could control any consciousness transfer.

We're missing something.

What?

Mavis has a zombie. What the hell is he waiting for? Why not download now?

We'll debate it later.

We should split up.

Cover more ground.

Find the mainframe.

Great.

Incredible, man.

This place is huge.

Josh, are we gonna make it?

The chain's only as strong as its weakest link.

What, you're saying I'm a weak link?

Not you.

Then who?

May this occupy Jordan's mind.

No one knows what powers he may retain.

I don't know, man. She's pretty strong.

In a war with the Guas, some might say the weakling was you.

You okay?

Don't know.

I keep getting these weird feelings.

It's these low-frequency transmitters.

They're messing with your head.

No.

That's not it. It's Mavis.

It's like I can still feel him.

How is that possible?

I don't know.

But the hallucination of the psych ward seemed just as real as this.

That's what the world wants you to think.

That's the trick.

Is it?

I mean, are aliens making me believe I'm in a nut house?

Or am I in a nut house because I believe in aliens?

This is what Zavala was talking about.

Who's Zavala?

He's a teacher.

Tried to prepare me for the final battle. This battle.

He said that I could overcome.

That I could control the hammer with purity of belief.

By knowing reality.

What if this isn't reality, Kate?

Mavis is creating these illusions for a reason.

Gotta find out what that is.

Come on.

You have it, yeah? I'm trying.

I'd be lucky if this terminal even taps into the schematic of the bunker.

There.

Download originates from a single power source.

It's gotta be the mainframe.

It can't be.

That's more energy than five nuclear power plants.

And from something that small?

That's impossible.

Unless... Unless what?

He's using the hammer.

We know it controls space and time.

By manipulating those properties, it could create a kind of a quantum

amplifier. And Mavis would have all the power he needs to do the transfer.

We've been made.

Get down and stay down.

If you're going to insist on acting out this delusion, you leave me no choice.

is online.

Initiating post-utero hypergrowth.

Consciousness present and conscious.

We're here to serve Davis.

We gotta fight it?

I saw things.

Saw the host develop for Mavis.

Growing. In some sort of incubation chamber.

From birth?

I don't know.

I mean, it was like a dream.

God, I don't know what's real anymore.

Dr. Oldham is Mavis.

Jordan, listen.

When I was captured by Mavis,

When he was still inside your body.

We... You and I, when we had sex.

And I think that's how the husk from Amos was created.

He used us.

You gotta fight this, Jordan.

You gotta fight it.

There's gotta be some way to break the hold on us.

Kate, does this all seem crazy to you?

Forget about this ward.

We're in a gua bunker trying to stop the download.

You gotta believe.

Believe.

Joshua, you okay?

Stay away from me, Foster.

What do you mean?

I'm seeing it all clearly now.

You tricked me.

I didn't trick you.

The Gwar are doing something to our minds.

We can break out of it. No.

Joshua, I'm going to get you out of here.

I'm a staff sergeant at the Rifle Academy.

This alien stuff.

It's just me going a little off track.

They got to you.

Cade, you need help.

Let them do for you what they did for me.

Let them help you, Cade.

Eddie.

Eddie.

Hey, Doctor. Good evening.

Come on, buddy. We're going to break out of here.

Cade, you ever notice that thing about colors?

What are you talking about?

You know how the colors in the real world never seem really real?

Eddie, snap out of it.

I feel better now, Kate.

Much better.

Oh, Eddie.

Don't call me crazy.

Eddie.

What the hell did you do?

She's dead.

Code nine, the east wing.

I've been deluded.

I see that now.

Explain how you feel.

Everything and anything is possible.

It's possible, but I was wrong.

What are your thoughts about being twice blessed?

What do you think that means?

It just means I need twice as much help, Doc.

You're lying!

Okay.

Let's cut the crap.

What do you want with me, Mavis?

Mavis.

Is that what you believe?

Believe.

I know.

Say this.

isn't part of your delusion.

Wouldn't you want your other friends to stay alive, 117?

You son of a bitch.

I'm prepared to make you a bargain.

You can continue trying to return to the bunker environment, jeopardizing your

life at every turn.

Or you can choose to stay here, in this world.

It's not pretty.

But it beats a bullet in the back of your head.

Go to hell.

If you want me dead, how come you haven't done it yet?

That which you call the hammer is technology that alters time and space.

Choose to stay here and you can go anywhere.

Do anything.

Can you imagine that?

You're thinking about your wife.

Tell me, Kate.

Did you ever get a chance to say goodbye?

Report.

Preparation for the download matrix proceeds on schedule.

Has 117's consciousness been integrated into the mainframe?

Time-space machine cells have already been integrated with subject 117 at 83%.

Mavis, keeping him alive this long only creates additional risk.

It's necessary for now.

I don't understand. Nor do you need to.

Mavis, there's interference on the cerebral link to 117.

He's resisting.

It will pass.

Electromagnetic field holding systems online.

It's time.

Bring forth the army of the Gua.

In this orb, the end of humankind.

Ten million Gua.

Today, the second wave begins.

Jordan? Where am I? You're okay.

What happened?

We're out.

This device is cerebral conduit to link us together.

The asylum was the creation of this machine.

Hell of a lot of trouble to send us on a head trip.

This device can also be used to extract cerebral data.

So we were put into the machine to get information?

A brain drain?

Anything. But I do.

When I was in the asylum simulation, Mavis wanted something from me. What?

He needs me to use the hammer.

The hammer's the most powerful device ever created by Gua.

Perhaps his makers realized its destructive potential and created a

failsafe to prevent that, requiring the abilities of not one, but two unique

beings.

So Mavis is one, and Foster's the other.

You're being used to power the download.

Kate, this is the last place you should be right now.

Look, you've got to get out of here. No.

I've been through too much. It ends now.

You've tried to kill Mavis before.

How do you expect to do it now?

I don't know.

But I'm asking you all to do one thing.

Believe in me.

Mavis, 117 and the others have gotten past the guards and the security

measures.

They're coming this way.

Guard the perimeters!

No!

Let them come.

The invasion's over.

And so it comes to this.

Your bullets are powerless against the hammer.

You failed, Mavis.

You can't do the download without me.

It seems we've reached an impasse. Except I've got your armor, you freaky

son of a bitch.

You try anything, I'll smash this orb.

Let me clarify the situation for everyone present, then.

Seems pretty clear to me.

You're done.

On the contrary, Foster.

You fulfilled every mission objective I asked of you.

Obtaining information on the hammer.

Exposing the Raven Nation.

Delivering these... resistors.

What are you talking about?

What do you think you know, 117?

I'll tell you.

You know nothing.

Operative Cade Foster, Osmosis 117, infiltration expert.

One of our best.

Until you started believing your cover.

No.

I know who I am. Think about it.

Tear the lies away.

We gave you an identity. Standard for an osmosist. A seamless past.

On a mission to gain followers.

To become a false messiah.

Chosen for Operation Twice Blast.

You played the part to perfection.

But I always knew, somewhere inside that husk, you knew who you were.

Because you believe in Gua.

It's not true, man.

Your entire journey through this wretched world comes to this one

purpose.

Now join with me and initiate the download of the second wave.

Show them what you believe, 117.

Together, we can wield the full power of the Hampton.

Bring me the army of the Gua.

Mavis is gone.

We stopped the invasion.

I'm sorry you couldn't understand what had to happen.

But everything's gonna be alright.

How'd you do that?

I believed.

Don't pinch me.

I don't wanna wake up.

Is this real?

The last thing I remember... Sacrifices had to be made.

Mavis? Gone.

At least I think so.

Did we do it?

Did we stop them?

Mavis gone.

I think invasion plans will be aborted.

We didn't.

We stopped the second wave.

Take it easy, Eddie. We don't know that for sure.

Come on, guys, lighten up.

This is gonna make the greatest cover story of all time.

All right, let's get three shot.

What's wrong?

A download contained the consciousness of millions of Gua.

I'm only passing.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Let's get out in the light.

There's just... There's just one more thing I gotta take care of.

Aren't you going to be late for your meeting?

What's the matter?

I just... I just want to say goodbye.

It's taken him so long.

Why'd he wear this suit?

Be patient, Eddie.

We ain't out of the woods yet.

Almost.

Hey, brother.

Let's rock.

Kate, are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm okay now.

We're all okay.

For every journey, there is an end.

We look back at the struggles we faced, the victories and losses, the joy and

sorrow.

But the road's made smooth by friends who give comfort in the darkest hour.

The journey's never really over, for we carry in our souls the memories of those

who've touched us.

I was rescued by a woman named Hannah, and I loved her with all my heart.

But Hannah's death brought me to Eddie, Jordan, and Joshua.

And they saved me from the darkness.

I'm not sure I really knew what it meant before, but I know now.

I know why I'm truly twice blessed.
