WHITMORE: Perhaps it's fate

that today is the Fourth of July.

(INDISTINCT ECHOING)

You will once again be fighting for our freedom...

Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution...

but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live.

We're fighting for our right to live.

(INDISTINCT ECHOING)

(PINGING)

The world declared in one voice

we will not go quietly into the night.

We will not vanish without a fight.

We're going to live on.

We're going to survive.

Today, we celebrate our...

(SCREAMS)

(GASPING)

LANFORD: (ON SPEAKERS) The countless lives

that we lost in the war of '96...

did not perish in vain.

They inspired us to rise from the ashes...

as one people of one world.

For 20 years, the world has seen no armed conflict.

Nations have put their petty differences aside.

United, we rebuilt our families,

our cities and our lives.

The fusion of human and alien technology...

not only enabled us to defy gravity

and travel with unimaginable speed...

it also made our planet, finally, safe again.

Great speech, Patty.

Thank you, Madam President.

One moment.

(DOOR OPENS)

We're ready for you, sir.

Captain Hiller.

Welcome to the White House.

It's great to be back.

I cannot tell you how proud we are

to have you flying our flag up there.

It's an honor, Madam President.

Your father was a great man.

He'd be so proud.

I think you know the Secretary of Defense.

Sir.

Nice to see you again, son.

I know I don't have to introduce you two.

(CHUCKLES)

MAN: Ma'am, let's get you touched up for photo.

Moving up in the world.

Says America's knight in shining armor.

Oh, you're the one that's back in the White House.

Yeah, as an employee I don't quite get

the same benefits as when I lived here.

Captain. Yeah?

We're ready for you. Thank you.

Dylan...

be nice to Jake when you see him up there.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS)

WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Moon-Tug-Ten, confirm position.

(SWITCH CLICKS)

Seven miles and closing.

The slowest trip of my life.

CHARLIE: Hey, cheer up.

There's worse things that you could be doing...

than towing a half trillion dollar weapon.

Yeah, well, I need a little more stimulation.

Hey, you know?

I didn't have to follow you up here.

Yeah, you did. You get lonely without me.

I was the youngest valedictorian

in the history of the academy.

I could have been stationed anywhere.

Like San Diego, you know?

Beaches, surfing. (CHUCKLING)

You never surfed a day in your life.

But I'm a fast learner.

And I got great balance. Like a cat.

Ah, cats hate water, Charlie.

Four percent. Reverse thrust.

WOMAN: Roger, Tug-Ten.

Reversing thrust, four percent.

MAN: The tugs and the weapon are on final approach.

They're in position, sir.

WOMAN: Docking in three, two...

one.

(CLANGING)

Initiate uncoupling sequence.

WOMAN: All tugs disengage.

CHARLIE: Do you realize that there are only 36 women

on this Moon Base?

I'm sure one of them will eventually come around, pal.

You know, it's not like they all rejected me.

I happen to have standards.

(CREAKING)

Whoa! What did you do?

Nothing!

That didn't sound like nothing.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Tug-Ten collided with the weapon.

- The clamps have stopped. - (ALARM BEEPING)

They're not responding, sir.

All tugs, take evasive action.

Pull back! Pull back!

Charlie! It's gonna crush the base!

JIANG: I said pull back!

That's a negative, sir.

CHARLIE: This isn't a fighter, Jake.

JAKE: Don't remind me!

Lt. Miller...

what are you idiots doing?

CHARLIE: I don't know, sir!

(SCREAMING) We're gonna die! This is how I die!

(GRUNTS)

(CREAKING)

WOMAN: Sir, he's slowing the fall.

JAKE: Go to your happy place.

I'm kicking in the fusion drive.

Are you crazy? We'll burn up!

Yeah, that's very possible!

(YELLING)

Come on!

(ALARMS BLARING)

Yes!

(LAUGHING) Yes!

It's actually working!

(LAUGHING)

(CLANGING)

I honestly didn't think that was gonna work.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

CHARLIE: Oh, shit!

Jiang's coming in hot and he's got that look.

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

He knows we don't speak Chinese, right?

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Whoo! That was a close call, sir.

You almost got us all killed.

Ah, yeah... but then I saved everyone.

You don't get credit for cleaning up your own mess.

And you destroyed one of my tugs.

Uh, actually, sir, if anybody's to blame...

Sir, I lost my focus. It won't happen again.

No, it won't.

You're grounded until further notice.

Can I still watch TV or...

You didn't have to take the fall.

Yeah, well...

He already hates me. Why break tradition?

MAN: (ON RADIO) Transport 103-ARP-1.

General Adams, we are being directed

to Alien Prison, Platform 1.

General. This better be good.

My wife and I were enjoying a very nice morning...

in a very expensive bed and breakfast.

- I'm sorry, sir. - (BEEPING)

I thought you should see this.

BOTH: Sir.

It started a couple of hours ago.

Look how their behavior changed.

ADAMS: After 20 years of being catatonic.

Get me Director Levinson.

We tried.

He's unreachable, sir.

ROSENBERG: You need to take me seriously.

I've been chasing you across the planet

for three weeks now.

But now that I have you...

Excuse me, who are you again?

Floyd Rosenberg.

Government appointed controller.

MAN: (ON RADIO) Please be advised.

Entering hostile territories.

We should slow down.

We don't wanna look like we're posing a threat.

Now, we're gonna start with Appendix 2.

I know a lot of people have

a negative reaction to being audited.

But I've found it's a constructive experience.

Lloyd. Lloyd, Lloyd.

It's Floyd.

We have to meet a friend right now,

a great guy. Come say hi.

ROSENBERG: Where are we?

Director Levinson.

Who are those men?

It's Umbutu's rebel forces.

The warlord?

I don't think there's anything to worry about.

His old man just died and I hear that the son

is much more of a moderate.

Uh, hey, fellas...

howdy doody. Say, um...

I'm looking for Dikembe Umbutu.

I see you found their armory.

The one and only, David Levinson.

Catherine, wow!

(STAMMERS) What are you doing here?

You don't think you're the only expert

he called, do you?

I'm so surprised to see you, a little bit.

I'm a little surprised that you remember my name.

Hey, hey, come on. (CHUCKLES)

Let's be professional.

Well, we both remember what happened

the last time we tried to be professional.

I'm sensing a palpable tension here.

We've bumped into each other at a few conferences.

I bet you have.

Shut up, Floyd.

ROSENBERG: Director Levinson, I'm sorry.

We're not done our business here.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

What papers?

Uh, it looks like this.

Um...

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

So, why does Umbutu Junior need a psychiatrist?

Unresolved daddy issues?

His people fought a ground war with the aliens for 10 years.

Their connection is the strongest I've ever seen.

It's as if their mind is...

tapped into the alien subconscious.

Yeah.

Your obsession with the human-alien

psychic residual condition.

Yeah, you calling me obsessive. That's cute.

How did they get the lights on?

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

We didn't.

It happened on its own.

Two days ago.

DAVID: Of course, you're aware that this is

the only ship that landed in '96.

And so, I appreciate you finally granting us

this access, Mr. Umbutu.

Your father was very tenacious.

His pride caused the death

of more than half of my people...

- including my brother. - DAVID: I'm so sorry.

Be careful!

(ECHOING) Whoa!

Wow!

CATHERINE: What happened here?

DIKEMBE: They were drilling.

For what?

Man, I don't know.

When did the drilling stop?

When you blew up the Mothership.

Right now, for us, any way to get up there?

You're not afraid of heights, are you?

How high is it?

(RHYTHMIC PINGING)

(DAVID EXHALES)

Oh, my God!

That's that same pattern.

So the signal was coming from this ship.

20 years ago...

when we destroyed the Mothership

we detected a burst...

in an X-band frequency...

directed toward deep space.

Oh.

(SCRAMBLED VOICE ECHOING)

WHITMORE: Today is the Fourth of July.

The distress call.

Today is the Fourth of July.

Looks like someone picked up the phone and answered.

JAKE: I'm going crazy up here.

I can't take it anymore.

Tell me how much you miss me.

PATRICIA: Actually, the Chief of Staff

just got a really handsome intern.

Not quite as tall as you, but has great dimples...

- and plays the cello. - (JAKE CHUCKLES)

Mmm. You know how much I miss you.

You know what? I'm gonna steal a tug

and come back and see you right now.

(LAUGHS) No. Please don't.

Because last time you did that

they added a month to your tour.

Come on. Tell me that wasn't the best two minutes

of your life. Yes.

Yes, but I would like my fiancé back permanently.

What was that?

Ah, we've been getting these power surges

the last couple days.

You take a look at the houses I sent you?

No, I haven't yet.

It's okay. There's no rush.

I saw Dylan at the White House today.

I just think you two need to have a conversation.

So he's shaking hands with the president

and I'm stuck on the Moon.

(CHUCKLES) That must be nice.

You nearly killed him, remember?

Give him a little credit, Jake.

(PULSATING)

- P? - (BEEPING)

FEMALE VOICE: Thank you for using QQ.

(EXHALES)

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen...

please welcome

the International Legacy Squadron.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

MALE REPORTER: Captain Hiller,

considering he died during a test flight...

how do you feel taking off for the Moon

from a hangar named after your father?

He would have loved it.

It's too bad he's not here to see it.

FEMALE REPORTER: Captain Lao, China has been integral

to the Earth Space Defense Program.

Is there anything you want to say to the folks back home?

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

I didn't want to text you. I wanted to hear your voice.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

My boy making a name for himself.

Are you gonna be okay, Ma?

Just tell me you'll be careful up there.

DYLAN: Moon Base, this is Legacy Squadron.

We're on final approach, requesting permission to land.

JIANG: Permission granted.

Welcome to the Moon, Captain.

(EXHALES) Just keep it cool.

Just don't hit him. It's easy.

(MUFFLED CHATTER)

(ALL CLAMORING)

(WHOOPING)

JIANG: Do I get an autograph, too?

Back to work.

Uncle Jiang!

You look more and more like your mother.

There is nothing a girl wants to hear more than that.

(BOTH CHUCKLES)

FEMALE VOICE: Mengniu Moon Milk.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I've been looking all over for you.

I've got good news.

Yeah? That pilot that China sent...

is my future wife and I mean it.

I think my heart exploded.

It's like our souls were communing.

(SIGHS)

He just walked in, didn't he?

(WHISPERS) Yeah, he did.

Okay.

You're not gonna finish this?

You mind moving?

We both know what happens when you get in my way.

- (PEOPLE GASPING) - Oh.

(GRUNTS)

I waited a long time to do that.

Morrison!

What's going on here?

I asked you a question.

Yes, uh, sir, the floor is very slippery.

Be careful if I were you. Great to see you, Dylan.

I was so close to punching him back.

I think you made the right choice.

You did almost kill him...

but that's why they have ejection seats.

No, I went too far.

It's the only way I thought I could stand out.

It was never gonna be you leading that squadron.

That's not the way the world works.

You know? He's royalty.

We're just orphans.

The last thing I said to my parents was I hated them.

The only reason I'm still alive...

is because they dropped me off at that stupid camp.

Well, I'm glad they did.

Because you're the only family I got.

MAN: (ON TABLET) All right, final training hop.

Winner leads the Legacy Squadron.

DYLAN: Why don't you just give up, Morrison?

Second place will just have to be good enough.

JAKE: Yeah, we'll see about that, Captain Hiller.

Passing on the left.

DYLAN: Hey, there's not enough room.

Damn it, Jake. You're gonna clip my wing.

Control, I'm going down.

Ejecting! Ejecting!

(EXHALES)

WOMAN: (ON PA) Dr. O'Brien,

please report to the surgical theater.

Good morning, Brakish. How are we today?

I brought you a new one.

Dactylorhiza maculata...

or the spotted orchid.

And when it fully blooms, the lavender...

(INHALES) It's going to take your breath away.

Can you believe it?

You've been in a coma for 7300 days.

I made you a gift.

I took a knitting class.

Is it itchy?

You'd tell me if it was itchy, right?

(BOTH SCREAMS)

(GASPING)

(PANTING) Oh, God.

You're awake!

Did we win?

Eric, bring in the medical team. He's awake!

(STAMMERING) Where's my glasses?

I can't see.

Oh, they're right here.

Oh, yeah.

How long was I out?

Long time, baby. Long time.

Oh, yeah. I can see that.

Babe...

you got a bit fat.

And really bald.

(CHUCKLING)

But you still look great.

RITTER: This just came in from Hubble.

There's some kind of force pulling at Saturn's rings.

ADAMS: Holy Christ!

What about our defense base there?

It's gone.

And it's not just the base.

It's like the whole moon just vanished.

Up the alert level to red.

Right away.

(ALARMS BLARING)

Hey, honey.

Listen, I want you to pack up your stuff

and go to your sister's right now.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Whoa. But this symbol comes up more often...

than anything I've encountered.

Look at the similarities.

How can you not see the relevance?

No, it's not that I don't see it.

I just feel like right now, there are more

pressing matters than analyzing doodles.

Like a giant space ship turning back on.

- Sir. - Yeah?

We've lost all contact with Saturn.

What?

We need to notify the president.

COLLINS: Already tried.

Tanner said he'll get back to us after the press tour.

Bypass Tanner however you can.

We need to talk to Lanford now.

Right.

Thank you.

At least your father spared the elephants.

Good for him.

Look. The Roswell crash in '47.

The farmer who made contact drew the same circle.

And every time I interview

one of my patients and show them this...

they all express the same emotion.

Fear.

I don't think it's a circle.

The night the ship turned on...

I experienced the strongest vision I've ever had.

And I drew this.

That's incredible.

How did you decipher so much of their language?

They were hunting us.

We had to learn how to hunt them.

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

That means you're beautiful.

JAKE: Aw, thanks, man.

Not you.

You have to remove the sub-sonic inlets...

before you can reconfigure

the thermalized plasma cartridges.

That's great. Why don't you put that thing down

and help me?

(RAIN SPEAKING MANDARIN)

CHARLIE: There she is.

Oh! It's happening. God damn it.

The chemical reaction, the pheromones...

all of the blood in my body, it's rushing to my head.

(EXHALES) Your head, huh?

I'm gonna go introduce myself.

Yeah. No problem.

Ah! Shit!

So, you must be the pilot China sent.

Did the giant flag give it away?

It was that.

And the fact that I heard you speaking Chinese earlier.

Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to get a drink.

Maybe fall in love.

Aren't you a little young for that?

I'm 23 and a half.

(RUMBLING)

MAN: (ON PA) All personnel,

report to your stations immediately.

All personnel, report to your stations immediately.

JIANG: Arm the primary.

(MEN SHOUTING)

Get me the Security Council. Yes, sir.

JIANG: On screen.

COLLINS: Sir?

Yeah? This just came in.

It was a spaceship.

MAN: Madam President.

The heads of state are coming online.

David, are you seeing this?

Yes, Madam President. I'm looking right at it.

They could be initiating an attack.

We need to strike first.

Uh, hold on. Hang on a second. To my eye...

the design and the technology of this ship...

is nothing like the ones that attacked us.

I'm telling you, this is not them.

And what if you're wrong?

If you're wrong...

we could be starting a war with a whole new species.

ADAMS: At this point, we know the Saturn base

has been destroyed.

Madam President, this could very well

be a coordinated attack.

Get the cannon into firing position.

Yes, sir.

CHINESE PRESIDENT: (ON MONITOR) We should be cautious...

and listen to Director Levinson.

How does the rest of the Council feel?

Let's hold off until we know more.

We have to be decisive. I vote to attack.

I also vote to strike.

JIANG: Madam President...

I need an answer.

Take them out, Commander.

We are locked on.

I think this is a mistake. Let's take another moment...

Fire!

(CHEERING)

Get me an image.

It crashed in the Van de Graaff Crater.

We're not picking up any signs of life.

Let's hope to God we did the right thing.

Madam President, we need to send

a team up to investigate the wreckage.

We need to know who we just shot down.

There's no sign of life

and the threat's been neutralized.

We can send a team up, but David needs to be in D.C.

No. Can we not make this political?

I need to get up there and get answers.

David, you can lead a team up there...

but after the celebration.

TANNER: You heard the president.

I'll expect to see you next to us tomorrow

wearing your best smile.

DAVID: You want to see my best smile?

Did he just hang up on me?

It sure sounded that way to me, sir.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Where are you going?

Jake. I really think you should think this through.

Okay, everyone...

get out! I'm taking off.

Wait, wait, wait!

Our tug's not gonna fly.

That's why we're taking Mike's tug.

Oh. Jiang is not gonna like this.

LANFORD: (ON TV) At approximately 2100 hours

Earth's Space Defense Program...

repelled an alien attack targeting our planet.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

(TV TURNS OFF)

It wasn't them.

You can't know that for sure.

It wasn't them.

I have to tell the world.

Sir, it's time for your meds.

I have to talk to the Joint Chiefs of Staff!

Matthew, can you just give us a second, please?

You shouldn't be wasting your time with a crazy old man.

You gave up flying to take care of me...

and I know how much you loved it.

You should be with Jake.

He's on the Moon, remember?

Then you should be with the president.

I am with the president.

They're coming back.

And this time we won't be able to stop them.

I will avenge you, brother.

Hey, wait! I need a receipt!

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

COLLINS: So, how do you know this guy?

DAVID: Oh, he's Patricia Whitmore's fiancé.

Thank you so much.

Good job, Collins. Yes, sir.

Someone call a cab?

Thanks for doing this, Jake. No problem.

Let's get moving, though, because I stole this thing.

I'm coming with you.

Um, no. This is an ESD operation.

Strictly off limits to all civilians...

and warlords.

I let you in.

It would be wise for you to return the favor.

(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

(ALL YELLING)

And there he goes. Where's he going?

Oh, I'm coming, too.

Catherine!

Something is drawing him out there...

and I'm going to find out what.

Excuse me, uh, Director Levinson.

Where the heck do you think you're going?

Why don't you join us, Floyd? Everybody else is.

Might do you some good.

No. No, no, no.

You're not getting on that thing.

And neither am I.

We're gonna stay here and we're gonna...

Hi.

I've never been in a space tug before.

Is there anything I should know?

There's a lot you should know.

Seatbelts, obviously.

David, why don't you take a seat.

Where? Really?

What's the matter, are you nervous?

Uh, you know, it's not my favorite.

Ah, don't worry. I haven't crashed in...

a couple days.

But that was intentional.

What?

Okay, here we go.

(DAVID GROANS SOFTLY)

(EXHALES) I forgot how much I hate this.

CHILDREN: Bye!

(LAUGHTER)

Mmm. Mmm.

That wasn't so bad.

I haven't kicked on the fusion drive, yet.

Huh?

(BEEPING)

(YELLING)

(LAUGHING)

JULIUS: And in our darkest moment...

when all hope was lost...

I said, "Never give up.

"You have to have faith."

And in that moment, it came to me, "pow!"...

like a thunderbolt.

And that's when I came up with the idea

that saved the world.

(SCATTERED APPLAUSE)

Yeah.

Um... Sir.

Huh?

Ah. There he is. (CHUCKLES)

Welcome back. (CLEARS THROAT)

This book is a bargain.

$9.95.

It makes a great gift for your grandchildren.

If you're lucky enough to have any.

Are you ready to go?

Don't rush.

(TV PLAYING)

Dad, you awake?

I thought we could watch the celebration on TV together.

Matthew!

(METALLIC CLATTERING)

What was that?

Mmm, we're flying through

the old Mothership's debris field.

(CLATTERING CONTINUES)

Don't worry. These are basically space tanks.

Space tanks? Really?

(LOUD CLANG)

We're coming up to the Van de Graaff crater.

There it is.

That's the crash site.

LANFORD: Today, we are honored...

to be in the presence of some of the brave men and women...

who defied insurmountable odds...

and led us to victory over alien invaders...

two decades ago.

General Grey and his beautiful wife, Audrey.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

We thank you for your unwavering leadership.

Jeffrey. Where the hell is Levinson?

JAKE: So, what are we looking for?

DAVID: Well, I'm hoping we'll know when we see it.

Is there a way of seeing what they're seeing?

You can even talk to them.

Nice tattoos.

That's how many aliens you killed, right?

How did you do it?

You have to get them from behind.

DAVID: (EXHALES) Catherine...

I think I just found another one of your doodles.

Charlie, tell command to prep the lab at Area 51.

(APPLAUSE)

How's it looking up there, Captain Hiller?

It's truly humbling to see how beautiful

Earth is from here, Madam President.

On this day, in 1996...

President Whitmore passionately declared...

"We will not go quietly into the night."

And we did not.

President Whitmore!

LANFORD: What a surprise!

Ladies and gentlemen...

another great war hero.

The one and only, President Thomas Whitmore.

Please say a few words.

Today...

Not going to be...

I came to warn you.

(GASPING AND GRUNTING)

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

(GROANING)

(FAINT RUMBLING)

(DIKEMBE GROANING)

Help me!

That is definitely bigger than the last one.

Holy shit.

Charlie, I think you better come and get us.

Sooner the better.

As in right now!

I'm already on it!

Everybody strap in! It's gonna get bumpy!

JAKE: Charlie, where the hell are you?

Just flying through my worst nightmare!

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

- David! - (DAVID GRUNTING)

Grab my hand! Come on, reach!

We're in! Close the ramp!

This just came in from one of our lunar satellites.

The ship's more than 3,000 miles in diameter.

How the hell did we miss this?

Activate all our defense systems

and shut down the celebration.

ANNOUNCER: Attention! We have an emergency situation!

Madam President.

Move. Get her out of here.

Please leave the premises in a calm and orderly fashion.

I repeat, please leave the premises

in a calm and orderly fashion.

Gotta move! Not without that piece!

Yeah, I thought you were gonna say that.

Charlie, get on the arms.

Talk to me, Charlie.

What's happening?

Damn it! What do you mean, "damn it"?

I'm trying my best!

Stop fighting! Just grab it!

Got it! Go, go!

There's a flying mountain coming right for us!

Hold on!

- (YELLS) - (DAVID GROANING)

JAKE: Oh, shit! I'm losing speed!

Jesus, it has its own gravity.

What does that mean?

It means we're going for a ride.

ROSENBERG: You mean we're stuck under this thing?

(MEN CLAMORING)

Arm the primary!

We're powered up and locked on.

Fire!

FEMALE VOICE: Negative impact.

Negative impact.

- Permission to engage. - WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Negative.

All fighters, clear the blast zone.

Arm the primary and fire again!

Above us. Something's happening.

Sir.

Evacuate, everyone!

(CLAMORING)

Go!

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

(EXPLODING)

(GASPING)

Rain, watch out!

(GRUNTS)

All fighters, fall back! Fall back!

Copy.

It's projected to enter

Earth's atmosphere in 22 minutes.

If it doesn't alter its current velocity...

it's gonna crack the planet in half.

We're not gonna let that happen, Tanner.

Initiate the Orbital Defense System.

Yes, ma'am.

(BEEPING)

WOMAN: (ON RADIO) General Adams,

we are primed and ready to fire.

Initiate simultaneous countdown.

MAN: (ON RADIO) Roger, Command. Syncing now.

WOMAN: Starting countdown.

Ten... Nine...

Eight... Seven... Six...

Five... Four...

Three... Two...

General...

the Asian Pacific Defense System

went offline before they could fire.

Yes, sir. Copy that.

Jake's alive!

He radioed us from the Moon!

He's with Director Levinson.

They're on their way to Area 51.

That Hercules right there is on stand-by.

Madam President, can you take my father

to Cheyenne Mountain?

Yes, of course.

I'm going with you, Patty.

Dad!

You're gonna need me.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Wish us luck.

Ma'am, we have to go.

(ALARMS BLARING)

ROSENBERG: Director Levinson...

I'm gonna talk to my supervisor...

and make sure you get all the money you need.

What are those green lights?

(SIREN BLARING)

TANNER: The ship will touch down over the Atlantic.

Which part? All of it, ma'am.

LANFORD: Issue an evacuation order for every coastline.

I don't think there's time.

So, what's the plan?

We have less than 20 minutes

to get every patient out of here.

Move! Yes, Ma'am.

We still have two in surgery.

Get them in post-op as fast as you can.

Absolutely.

(INFANT CRYING)

Help, please!

I got you, honey. I'm not gonna leave you.

What goes up, must come down.

- Whoa! - (ALL GRUNTING)

Oh, we're free! Oh, God.

Don't worry, we're in a controlled dive.

Falling! It's called falling!

Nope. Controlled dive.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

Whoa.

(GASPING)

(JAKE AND DAVID EXCLAIMING)

Nice, nice.

Jesus.

(YELLING)

They like to get the landmarks.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

Are we dead?

We're okay.

(SIGHS)

Pee your pants?

Yeah!

Me too.

We can access the trench through here.

Are you sure?

Mmm-hmm. Hundred percent.

This, right here. That's the best way in.

Yeah, I got it.

Captain, they're ordering all ships out of the area.

There's a hundred million dollars' worth

of gold on that ship.

They think we're gonna leave it?

They're out of their minds.

Capitaine...

you better come and see this.

(SIZZLING)

(WIND CHIMES CHIMING)

ADAMS: (ON RADIO) To all aircraft

within the sound of my voice...

we expect the devastation

to the East Coast to be beyond imagination.

The rally point for all remaining aircraft...

is Area 51.

Rain, you take the lead.

I'll meet you there.

I gotta see about someone.

Good luck.

Are you okay?

My mother lives in London.

Maybe she made it out.

Yeah, maybe.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Dad, where are you?

JULIUS: (ON PHONE) On my boat. Where else?

David, this one is definitely bigger than the last one.

DAVID: You can see it?

Uh, listen to me. You have to get to shore...

as fast as you can. Dad!

David? David!

Oh, sweet Moses.

(JASMINE PANTING)

Wait!

Wait!

(SOBBING)

We're gonna die.

No, no. Look at me.

We are not going to die.

MAN: (ON RADIO) Marine 3, clear.

I got bodies on that hospital roof

that need immediate evac.

(SCREAMING)

Yes! Yes, come on! Let's go!

Hand him the baby. It's okay.

Okay. Please be careful.

You're gonna be all right. He's got her.

Get on board. Get on board.

MAN: We gotta go right now. (GRUNTS)

Good girl.

(SCREAMS)

Mom!

Pull her up!

Pull her up! No!

No, Mom!

No!

Whoa! Whoa! Oh, my!

(SHIP HORN BLARING)

Why did I buy this boat?

Whoa! Whoa!

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

ADAMS: Glad to have you back, Mr. President.

Been far too long.

Thank you.

Is David Levinson here?

Not yet.

Morrison's tug is still 10 minutes out.

Have them meet us at the prison.

We need to interrogate one.

(ALARMS BLARING)

(DOOR OPENING)

What the...

(ALIENS SCREAMING)

They've gotten worse.

Much worse.

Mr. President?

Dr. Okun.

You're awake.

Very much so.

Why are they screaming?

(STAMMERING) No, no, no.

They're not screaming.

They're celebrating.

General, one of the prison cells

is docking with the chamber.

Where's my dad?

I think he went in there.

Get the weapons! Let's go!

Let's go!

We have alien guns?

FEMALE VOICE: Isolation chamber activated.

ADAMS: How did he get in here?

Dad, it's too dangerous!

Someone get him out of there!

He overrode the system.

Sir, please unlock the door!

Don't you worry about me.

Just get as many answers as you can.

No, don't!

Whitmore locked himself in.

(SCREAMS)

(WHITMORE GAGGING)

Can you hear us?

She has arrived.

Who is she?

She...

is all.

What does she want?

(GRUNTING)

What does this mean? What does this symbol mean?

- (ALIEN SCREECHING) - Why are you afraid of it?

It's killing him!

That's enough!

Move! Kill it now!

(GUNS FIRING)

(YELLS)

(YELLS)

(DIKEMBE PANTING)

(ALIEN MAKING GUTTURAL SOUNDS)

(YELLS)

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

Dad!

He's breathing.

Someone call a medical team!

Is it dead?

DIKEMBE: I told you.

You kill them from behind.

(DAISY CRYING)

(DOG YELPING)

SAM: Daisy, stop crying.

FELIX: She's scared.

MAN: (ON RADIO) An evacuation order...

of the southern and eastern coastal regions...

I want Mommy.

Of the Unites States is in effect.

We'll find her.

They're both dead.

Just shut up, okay? That's enough.

FELIX: You don't even have your license!

SAM: Um, look around you.

You think anyone's gonna pull us over?

The radio said to go inland...

so that's where I'm going.

MAN: (ON RADIO) Proceed in an orderly fashion.

There's a guy in that boat!

I am not stopping.

Look, he was moving!

He needs our help!

Sam, stop the car.

(SIGHS) Unbelievable.

Hurry up, okay?

I think he's just knocked out!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

CATHERINE: I don't think it's a coincidence...

that this thing showed up just before they did.

No, I think you're right.

Brakish, you should be in bed, babe.

(BRAKISH STAMMERS)

Where did you get this?

That's from the ship that we shot down.

We need to cut this open.

WOMAN: (ON PA) Director Levinson...

proceed to Command Center immediately.

Call us soon as you have anything.

Come on, people. Move!

Baby, I'm so happy that you want to dive back into work.

Maybe we should get you some pants.

Pants?

All right. Go on.

Why didn't you tell me my butt was hanging out?

WOMAN: We have infrared of the alien ship, sir.

CATHERINE: Are those dots...

They all must be aliens.

What's that mass?

Enlarge this section, please.

That's what our prisoner alien meant by...

"she is all."

Director Levinson...

I have Cheyenne Mountain

and the remaining world leaders online.

LANFORD: David, what can you tell us?

Ma'am, they're like a hive and I think

we just found their queen...

their very big queen.

This is an infrared image of their ship...

and we think that that's her,

Madam President, right there in the middle.

Christ almighty.

General Adams, we have a live feed

from a reconnaissance aircraft.

Great. Put it up. Yes, sir.

David, is this one of their plasma drills

you briefed us about?

Yeah, I believe so.

The funnel's over a mile in diameter, sir.

That's 20 times bigger than the one in Africa.

I think they're after our molten core...

which means no magnetic fields...

our atmosphere would evaporate.

Basically, the end of life on this planet.

Oh, so, you're saying we're already finished.

Not necessarily.

Back in '96, the drilling in Africa stopped

when we blew up their Mothership.

There must have been a queen up there

that we didn't know about.

Assuming that this hive theory holds true...

General, if we could blow up this queen,

maybe it could work again.

LANFORD: All right, then I'm authorizing

an immediate retaliatory strike.

Let's do it.

Scramble the fighters. Right away.

MAN: (ON PA) Attention, all pilots,

report to mission briefing in Tminus 10.

I repeat, all pilots report to

mission briefing in Tminus 10.

JAKE: Hey.

Come find me after the briefing, okay?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I'm so sorry, Dylan.

I was right there, man.

I just couldn't save her. I was too late.

I know I'm probably the last person

you want to hear from right now...

but I've been where you are.

I know how deep it hurts.

She wouldn't want you to give up now.

Come on, man. You got to lead us.

(DYLAN EXHALES)

See you up there, Lieutenant.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

ADAMS: Good afternoon.

This red mass on the top of the ship...

that's your target.

We're gonna send a fleet of drones

to go in ahead of you...

and disable their shields.

Your mission...

is to fly cover for the bombers...

who will be armed with cold fusion warheads.

Now, the blast should penetrate the hull...

and kill that alien queen.

Captain Hiller will brief you on the flight plan.

We'll all try to converge at the same time.

But whoever gets to the target first...

will deliver the payload.

We have to expect...

that they're gonna come at us with everything they got.

So, protect the bombers at all cost.

We all lost someone that we love.

So, let's do it for them.

MAN: (ON PA) Alpha strike launch in one minute.

PATRICIA: Jake.

I'm coming back.

I promise you.

Make them pay.

We're not going up there to make friends, right?

I looked at the houses.

The one on Harrison Street...

with the stone walkway.

If it's still there.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay, it's getting real.

It's getting real real.

DYLAN: All right, form up. On me.

It's the Fourth of July.

So, let's show them some fireworks.

(CHEERING)

I want you to give me one of your katana blades

and teach me everything you know.

Fine.

You know what? I'll figure something out.

(MEN CHEERING AND LAUGHING)

What are you idiots doing?

Ah. The world's going to end.

Even worse, we lost the gold.

Mmm-hmm.

So, we thought we'd drink a little!

The US Government is on the line.

They say the aliens are drilling

to the Earth's core...

and they're looking for a ship in the area

to monitor their progress.

We're the only ones left.

Tell them we'll do it...

for a hundred million dollars.

(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

BOUDREAUX: Look at this guy! Whee!

Yeah, hold on one second.

MAN: He's drunk.

They said, "It's a deal."

(INDISTINCT MUTTERING)

I got it. I got it.

(HORNS BLARING)

BOBBY: Look, Sam, they're going off road.

Maybe we should do the same.

(GASPS) Ouch!

Shit. What the hell happened here?

We rescued you.

Oh, thank you.

Is this really you?

Of course it's me. Who else would it be?

BOBBY: What's your son like?

Can you get us his autograph?

BOBBY: How often do you see him?

These days we only see each other

at Thanksgiving, but unfortunately...

last year he had to cancel.

What about you?

Where are your parents?

Um...

Visiting our grandparents in Florida.

Oh, I see.

Where should we go, Mr. Levinson?

I think the safest place for all of us

to be right now is by my David.

Since you're the leading expert on his condition,

I really wanted you to see this.

How can his connection be so strong?

During the first attack...

he was exposed to their collective mind.

It was completely unfiltered.

I need to ask him about this.

I already have.

He doesn't even remember drawing them.

Okay, let's try this baby on for size.

You know, I helped bring that thing back from space.

Is there anything I can do?

Yeah. Back off.

Yeah. Of course.

(SAW WHIRRING)

(EXHALES)

Command, we have visual.

ADAMS: Roger, Captain Hiller. Continue approach.

Mission is a go.

Bay-18, sir.

Why'd you put it all the way up there?

Give me that. Get the ladder down there.

Come on!

Couldn't leave it on a bottom shelf? Here we go.

All right, coming for you, baby. There she is.

What is it? An alien laser?

Nope.

It's the Okun laser.

Why aren't they attacking us?

Careful what you wish for.

DYLAN: There's the queen's ship.

Bombers, prepare to drop.

You just had to jinx us!

Evade, evade!

(GRUNTING)

DYLAN: Fire on command!

RAIN: Two hostiles!

DYLAN: Squad, pull out. Bank right.

Maintain defensive posture.

Down! Down! Down!

Protect the bombers! Dive! Dive!

Command, the queen's ship is too heavily defended.

We have to regroup and find a new approach.

JAKE: We have incoming.

Damn, they're fast!

ADAMS: Jesus, look at their firepower.

DYLAN: Keep them off the bombers.

CHARLIE: There's too many!

I got you now. I got you, I got you. (GRUNTS)

(YELLING)

Whoa!

I can't shake them. Son of a bitch!

Ah, come on. Help me out here.

I got you.

(DYLAN GRUNTING)

JAKE: Dylan, that's me, 12 o'clock.

Ah, come on. Come on.

Bank left!

Oh, God!

Whoo! You can thank me later.

Hell, I'll thank you right now.

(MAN GRUNTING)

MAN: We just lost bomber 9...

and bomber 13, sir.

Command, we can't get to the top of the ship.

It's too heavily armed.

We're dropping like flies out here.

Come on!

I think we need to fly inside.

No, that's suicide. Sir?

Morrison's right. This is our only shot.

Do it!

We'll detonate the bombs from the Command Center...

and we'll give you enough time to get the hell out of there.

DYLAN: Copy that.

Jake, follow my lead.

JAKE: I'm on your wing.

DYLAN: All bombers, we're going in.

They didn't follow us.

MAN: Form up on your leads.

JAKE: Charlie, look at those fields down there.

They have their own ecosystem.

(GRUNTING)

Sir? Dad?

You have to warn them.

She knows that they're coming.

We got eyes on the target.

Tally-ho.

That's what we came here for.

All bombers, open bomb bay doors.

PATRICIA: Get them out of there!

It's a trap.

(GASPS)

Come on. No!

Command, I have engine failure.

We have engine failure.

DYLAN: Attempt to restart.

We're going down, we're going down!

(GRUNTING)

DYLAN: I can't restart!

JAKE: Come on!

(SCRAMBLED SCREAMING)

DYLAN: We've lost all power!

JAKE: Command, you have to trigger the bombs!

It's the only way!

Don't let us die for nothing.

Do it!

Madam President, requesting authorization.

Permission granted.

Detonation sequence initiated.

JAKE: (SCRAMBLED) Tell Patricia I love her.

(SOFTLY) I love you, too.

RITTER: In five...

four...

three, two...

one. (YELLS)

That's a negative impact!

The bombs were contained by an energy shield!

(SCRAMBLED) The bombs were contained by an energy...

We lost the signal, sir.

- Wait. - (BEEPING)

Something's happening.

(ALL GROANING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

She baited us.

(EXHALES)

Tanner, we have to have a status report.

We're trying. Our satellites are down.

We're completely blind.

(ALARM BLARING)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Madam President!

There will be no peace.

(GRUNTS)

- (GUNS FIRING) - (GRUNTING)

Careful! You'll agitate the crystals!

I built it back in '94.

Had to shelve it, though,

after the meltdown in sector three.

Here, put her over here. Brakish...

you're overexerting yourself.

What is that thing doing here?

All right, be a good boy. Go stand over there.

Wait a second. What meltdown?

Are we sure this thing is safe to use?

Highly unlikely.

Clear!

What's the status of the fleet?

Only seven percent made it back to base.

Seven percent? Yes, sir.

General, Cheyenne Mountain is gone.

All members of the presidential

line of succession are presumed dead.

They're here to swear you in, sir.

Attention to orders!

Please repeat after me.

I, Joshua T. Adams.

Do solemnly swear.

(CRYING)

I'm so sorry.

You were right.

We're not gonna beat them this time.

SAM: God, look at the line. There's a thousand cars.

We're never gonna get gas.

Have a little faith.

You wanna talk about faith?

My parents are probably dead right now...

and most of my friends.

She's just upset because her boyfriend, Kyle,

is for sure a goner.

What's a goner?

Someone who's dead.

Felix!

Why don't you pull over here?

Let me drive and you take a little break.

(CRYING) Okay.

MAN: Not many. I'm gonna try to get

what I can and salvage these.

David, you should be in the Command Center.

President Whitmore.

Thank God you're okay.

It's been a while.

I had 20 years to get us ready.

And we never had a chance.

We didn't last time either.

We always knew they were coming back.

But look how far we've come.

In the last 20 years...

this planet has been unified in a way

that's unprecedented in human history.

That's sacred.

That's worth fighting for.

We convinced an entire generation

that this is a battle that we could win...

and they believed us.

We can't let them down.

And it wasn't luck last time.

It was our resolve.

We all have to fight...

till our last breath.

And that is gonna lead us to victory.

You understand some of their language.

I'd like you to tell me if any of these writings

mean anything to you.

So, okay, how about this one?

This talks about an intergalactic war.

This concerns the whole universe.

What about this one?

DIKEMBE: Something about an enemy.

It needs to be destroyed before it gets to us.

Wait.

I had a case study in Brazil...

where my patient didn't describe the circle...

as "fear." He referred to it...

as "enemy."

Of course.

Their enemy is our ally.

Um, your laser's smoking.

Uh-oh.

Get it outta here.

Tell 'em to try to pull it open.

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

Hello, gorgeous.

Time to find out what secrets you're hiding.

All right, let's go get everyone.

Bring them here.

MAN: Yes, sir.

MAN #1: Watch your back!

(GASPS)

Scorpio!

MAN #2: Come on, they're picking us up! Move!

(MEN GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

Jake, get out of the way!

(GRUNTING)

(BOTH EXHALES)

BRAKISH: Guys...

you really need to see this.

I've run every possible scan.

It's not giving off any kind of signal.

I mean, nothing.

It's like it doesn't even exist.

It's almost like it's trying to hide itself.

It's really smooth.

Hey, whoa! You're not wearing gloves!

You'll contaminate it. Remove your hands, Floyd.

That's weird. I can't.

What do you mean you can't? Rosenberg.

Okay, I'm trapped. Somebody do something.

It's swallowing me!

Just stay calm and don't panic.

This thing is trying to eat me,

and your advice is not to panic!

(GRUNTS)

(ALARM BLARING)

Looks like they're mobilizing.

David, please tell me

this isn't some kind of a Trojan horse.

I don't think it's a danger to us.

But it must be to them.

He turned it on just by touching it.

SPHERE: I activated myself...

when I detected your biological signature...

to be different from theirs.

It speaks!

(LAUGHS) In English!

SPHERE: I deconstructed your primitive language.

We're primitive?

Correct. My species shed our biological existence...

for a virtual one thousands of years ago.

Far out.

Why are you here?

When I intercepted their distress call...

I knew they would come to exterminate you.

I came to evacuate as many of you as possible.

But you attacked me

with the same weapons they used on us.

They attacked you?

Correct.

A Harvester Ship conquered our planet...

and extracted its molten core.

They use them to refuel their ships...

and grow their technology.

They have done this to countless civilizations.

We fought them for thousands of years...

but they destroyed all of our ships.

I am the sole survivor.

BRAKISH: I am so sorry to hear that.

Do you have a plan?

My system holds the key to superior technology.

And there is a hidden planet...

where I teach refugees from other fallen worlds...

how to build weapons that will defeat them...

once and for all.

CATHERINE: That's why they're afraid of you.

You're the only ones who threaten their existence.

Correct.

But now that I am activated...

the queen will detect my signature...

and hunt me down.

It's too late.

She's already on her way.

Yeah.

She's coming.

Hey, what would happen...

if we were able to kill her?

No one has ever killed a Harvester queen.

That's encouraging.

But as a hive...

her fighters will fall,

and her ship will leave your planet.

Recalled by other Harvester queens.

But it's too late now.

You must terminate me...

or she will get the coordinates

to the refugee planet.

And that will be the end.

Wait, wait a second.

If we're so sure that she's coming here to get you...

maybe we can bait her...

like she baited us.

Mr. President, Dr. Okun thinks...

that we can replicate

the Sphere's RF radiation signal...

David, English, please.

Every computer has a radioactive signature...

whether it's your laptop, your phone, even your watch.

But the Sphere has an RFR

that's completely off the charts.

So, if we hide the real Sphere...

inside the isolation chamber...

and pack this decoy transmitter,

so to speak...

onto a tug filled with cold fusion bombs...

and lure her out to the salt flats...

We can fly it right up her royal ass and bon voyage!

You set off cold fusion bombs...

you're gonna kill everyone from here to Houston.

Not if we use the shield generators

from this base to contain the blast.

Without our shields, you better put

a blaster in every able bodied hand...

and get them ready to shoot some aliens.

RITTER: Yes, sir.

Now, we just need a way to see her coming.

Follow me.

Do your thing.

My thing? Do my thing? My thing!

MAN: Take it off!

Copy, sir. Watch it.

ADAMS: This old radar truck

was supposed to go to the Smithsonian.

They never picked it up.

RITTER: It's a good thing they didn't.

Yeah, drive it to the highest point.

The higher, the better.

Yes, sir.

Look what I found in the hold.

We should be able to communicate with this.

Let's hook up the antenna.

(RADIO STATIC)

- (CRASHING) - What was that?

(ALARM BEEPING)

(STAMMERS) The drill is cracking the outer mantle...

but that shouldn't happen for another...

We were wrong.

We do not have seven hours until the Earth core breach.

We only have...

one.

Call it in.

Area 51, do you copy?

(SIGHS)

DAVID: So, the idea...

is to get her to follow this tug...

into the salt flats...

using the decoy transmitter on board.

And once she's taken the bait...

our cold fusion bombs can go to town.

It's a Hail Mary!

But it can work.

ADAMS: There's a catch.

As you know, they took out all of our satellites...

which means that somebody...

is gonna have to fly it in manually.

And I know that I'm asking

for the ultimate sacrifice. I know that.

But you...

you are the only pilots we have left.

And I need a volunteer.

Let's get it done.

I'll fly it in.

WHITMORE: No, you won't.

I'll do it.

ADAMS: Mr. President.

(EXHALES)

Dad, what are you doing?

WHITMORE: Patty.

There are a lot of reasons why I'm the best choice for this.

You all have to pick up the pieces once it's over.

This is my part.

Matthew...

do not let him get on that tug.

Do you understand me?

MAN: Get the hell off the road!

If we go any slower, we'll be going backwards.

Don't be a shmuck. We have to conserve gas.

Area 51 is still 75 miles away.

We're running on fumes.

What do we have here?

Who's in charge here?

No one.

Our driver left us to take a ride to Minnesota.

Just like that? He just left?

He went to go have sex with his girlfriend.

Yes! All aboard!

Wait! What about our car?

We'll get a new one when you get your license.

On the bus, everybody!

(SWITCH CLICKS)

Tell the General we're up and running.

ADAMS: Bring it in.

Spin it around.

All right, plug it in.

RITTER: Radar is operational, sir.

ADAMS: Son of a bitch.

All right, they're coming in fast. David...

we got a real fire storm coming our way

and not a lot of time to prepare.

Give me numbers, Mr. President.

Nine minutes to the queen's ship's arrival...

roughly 22 minutes before the drill reaches our molten core.

Jesus Christ. Take your positions.

We don't have a second to lose.

Are we gonna make it, sir?

You bet your ass we will.

MAN: All right, here we go, men.

Get up on that barricade.

Prepare to fire!

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

This thing is way cooler than a machete!

(GUN FIRES)

Sorry! Sorry, everyone!

That was my bad!

(CLEARS THROAT)

(GRUNTING)

I'm gonna see if it's clear.

Jake! (LAUGHS) (GRUNTS)

Hell of a time to scare a guy!

Sorry.

Oh, it's good to see you!

It's good to see you, too.

I didn't think you made it. Why not?

You haven't flown a fighter in a while, so I figured...

You're alive, that's what counts.

Enough with the reunion. They're gonna hear us.

More of us made it!

You're still talking loud.

(PANTING) So, what now? Go in guns blazing?

Hey, what are you doing?

You guys get to those fighters and don't leave me hanging.

Wait!

Excuse me!

Down here!

There you go.

Listen, I usually don't hold a grudge...

but you killed my parents.

- So... - (ALARM BLARING)

I'm gonna make an exception for you guys.

Charlie, Rain...

you two take the first fighter.

Been holding that one for a while. (LAUGHS)

Their technology hasn't changed at all!

Get the weapons ready.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Whoo!

New interface.

(ALIENS CHITTERING)

(GRUNTS) Shit.

(GRUNTING)

Jake's in trouble! Let's go!

(PANTING AND GRUNTING)

Getting a little low there, Rain.

(ALIENS SCREECHING)

Nice!

DYLAN: Oh, no, you don't! (GRUNTS)

Should've kept running. Get your ass out of there!

(GRUNTING) Take this!

Oh, man. Yeah. Hey, thanks for that.

Get up there where you belong.

What, you don't want to fly?

Hell, no. I wanna shoot.

DYLAN: All pilots, go to channel six on your radios.

Anytime, gentlemen.

You guys go ahead. We'll cover the rear.

CHARLIE: Big closing doors!

Big closing doors! Jake!

Where are you?

We're on our way! Rain, how long we got?

20 seconds, max.

No, Rain, stop! Bank left!

We have to go!

No! We're not leaving anyone else behind!

No one else dies today!

You with me?

I'm with you.

It's getting dicey up here!

Rain, just get out of here!

Respectfully, sir, no way in hell!

- (GRUNTS) Come on! - JAKE: Hey, man...

I just want you to know...

if we don't make it out of here...

I'm really sorry for almost killing you in training.

If we don't make it out of here,

I just want you to know...

I'm not sorry at all about punching you in the face.

(GRUNTS)

Hey, way to go, Charlie!

Whoo!

(LAUGHS)

JAKE: All right, we're clear. You lead, we follow.

Faster, Rain!

Faster!

(GRUNTING)

Hang on to your seat, buddy!

(PANTING) Jake, did you make it?

(PANTING) Rain...

did you see him come out of there?

I'm not sure.

Jake?

JAKE: Did you miss me?

(EXHALES)

(PANTING) You can't do that to me.

(EXHALES)

I told you you'd get lonely without me.

DYLAN: All right, aviators, let's turn and burn.

Clock's ticking, we gotta get out of here.

MAN: (ON RADIO) Stand by for a broadcast

from the United States government.

ADAMS: I understand that many people around the world...

are tuning into this channel on their shortwave radios.

To you out there and here at home...

make no mistake, this is humanity's last stand.

What we do in the next 12 minutes...

will either define the human race or finish it.

To those of you listening...

no matter your nationality, color or creed...

I ask that all of you pray for us.

No matter our differences, we are all one people.

Whatever happens...

succeed or fail...

we will face it together...

standing as one.

WOMAN: (ON PA) Decoy mission launch,

T-minus 60 seconds.

TRAVIS: Patricia!

Patricia!

What is it? It's your dad.

He collapsed. Come with me quick.

WOMAN: (ON PA) Mission is fueled,

loaded and ready for launch.

Where is he?

He asked me as a friend. As a father.

Dad!

(PATRICIA PANTING)

ADAMS: Decoy convoy...

hold and ready position.

It says here, you got to fly on Air Force One.

You meet the president?

My dad says your son never went to space...

and it's just a conspiracy.

Oh, yeah?

Your father's a putz.

(FAINT WHIZZING)

Wait.

Do you hear that?

What, the kid making fun of me?

No. That sound.

JULIUS: Oh, boy.

Kids, hold on to your seats!

(BEEPING)

They're inbound.

10 seconds till contact.

(SIREN WAILING)

They're gonna target the cannon first.

We won't get too many shots off,

so you just make them count.

OFFICER: On my command...

fire!

(ALL CLAMORING)

(ALL GRUNTING)

I have to take this fighter.

We're still priming the fusion drive.

It's only at 32%.

That's more than enough. Give me the harness.

MAN: General, we're up and running.

ADAMS: All right, Tom, we are ready to go.

Activate the decoy transmitter on my mark.

Three... two...

one.

FEMALE VOICE: Isolation chamber activated.

The convoy is a go.

Give them cover fire. Now.

(MEN SHOUTING)

Now, Tom, now.

CATHERINE: It's working.

She's following the decoy.

Wait, what are you doing?

It doesn't matter. We're isolated.

I'm gonna turn it back on.

ISAACS: Why would you do that?

To see what else this thing knows.

Excuse me, just have a few questions, if you don't mind.

Sir, there's a school bus

headed directly towards the trap.

No, no, no.

ADAMS: David, the queen's ship will be there in two minutes.

DAVID: Who is that? No, no, no!

There's a tall, dangling man waving us down over there.

JULIUS: Tall, dangling?

That's my David!

Who is this blind idiot?

Yeah! Yes, thank you.

Dad?

(CLAMORING)

BRAKISH: This is going to catapult our civilization...

by thousands of years.

Our understanding of physics...

wormholes, everything, everything!

Hey, calm down. Calm down!

I don't want to calm down!

Ah! David!

What, we have to wait for the end of the world

for us to get together?

Come, David!

I'm so happy you're alive, but I'm busy right now.

You'll be happy to know I made some acquaintances.

They came to see you.

I'm a little busy right now, Dad.

You and I, we're gonna have to talk.

I said not now! Look!

Yeah, I see...

ADAMS: Tom, it looks like the plan is working.

She thinks you've got the Sphere.

She's only going after the fighters.

We gotta get these kids to cover. Go, go!

It's good to see you flying again.

Your place is in the air.

You should've let me do this.

You saved the world once before, Dad.

I'm not saving the world, Patty.

I'm saving you.

(GASPS AND GRUNTS)

T om, what's going on?

She's in my head.

ADAMS: Mr. President...

you've got incoming fighters on your 6.

Can you get me to the target, Lt. Whitmore?

Yes, sir. Follow me.

Come on.

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

Go now!

Now, now! Activate the shield!

FEMALE VOICE: Shield engaged.

ADAMS: Lt. Whitmore, clear the blast zone.

Surprised to see me?

Do it. Push the button, Tom. Do it, Tom.

That's right. We got you.

On behalf of the planet Earth...

Happy Fourth of July.

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

(CRYING)

Do we have confirmation, David?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I think it's safe to say, Mr. President...

that we got her!

- Yes! - (ALL CHEERING)

(ALL GASPING)

(ALL GRUNTING)

Wait, if she's dead,

why are her fighters still attacking us?

(ALARM BLARING)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

Command, we have a breach!

ADAMS: How many do you think? About two dozen, sir.

Under no circumstances...

do they see the Sphere.

You do whatever it takes. Do you copy?

Copy that.

This is Sam. My navigator.

Um... You're a lot taller than I imagined.

JULIUS: This is her sister, Daisy.

Um, sir... There's Bobby.

Is that supposed to happen?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Not good.

Oh, my God.

She has her own shield.

GIRL: What is that?

Okay, back in the bus, kids. Back on the bus.

Let's go. Get back on the bus!

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

Get her!

(DOG BARKING)

SAM: Ginger!

Where are you going? No, no, no!

SAM: Come on, girl! Let's go!

We have to wait for the dog? I guess so.

Hurry, Sam! Come on!

- Come on! - DAISY: Get in here, girl!

Come back!

- Okay. Close the door. - DAVID: Oh, shit.

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

FELIX: Oh, my God!

Drive!

PATRICIA: (ON RADIO) All remaining pilots,

target the queen.

Unload everything you've got!

(RUSTLING)

Did you hear that?

We need back up down here, now.

We've got a serious breach in cell block five.

We got aliens on the loose. We need back up now!

Hey! Where are you going?

(BOTH SCREAMS)

Oh, my God! Where'd she go?

Sir, that thing just leapt into the air!

What'd he say? Something about jumping.

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

Look out!

Whoa! Whoa!

We are within six minutes, sir.

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING)

ADAMS: David, six minutes to Earth's core breach.

(YELLING)

General Adams, her shield is down!

Yes! I repeat, her shield is down.

Great job, Lieutenant.

(GASPING)

(GROWLING)

(PANTING)

I got you, baby!

(GRUNTS)

We're gonna get you out of this.

Aim for her gun, Charlie. Aim for her gun.

This is Captain Hiller.

We've hijacked a couple of alien fighters.

Yes! Yes!

Do not shoot at us!

We're the ones trailing smoke.

ADAMS: Roger that, Captain Hiller.

Go on, get her!

Shoot her down!

ADAMS: Whitmore destroyed the queen's ship

and his daughter knocked out her shield.

Now, listen up! They're going for our molten core.

You've got 4 minutes...

to destroy the queen. So give her hell.

Copy that. No pressure.

(ALIENS CHITTERING)

We're really running into an alien prison.

This is the one!

Open up! We're here!

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

She knows!

(GRUNTING)

She's coming!

(PANTING)

Dylan, what's happening?

I don't know. My controls just stopped responding.

Same here.

- Charlie, do something! - CHARLIE: I can't!

She must have taken control of our systems.

I think we're part of the hive now.

Looks like we're not the only ones.

DYLAN: The hell?

She's taking us straight to Area 51.

(ALL GASPS)

What are you doing?

You're not going to follow her!

Stay behind the yellow line, please, Dad.

There is no yellow line. Imagine one!

(YELLING)

Take that!

(PANTING)

See?

Told you I'd figure it out.

- (SCREAMING) - (GRUNTS)

- (GRUNTS) - (ALIEN SCREECHING)

You talk too much.

(GASPING)

(CHUCKLING)

Baby, we're saved!

(WEAKLY) They got me.

Oh, no.

Don't worry. I'm gonna get you to sick bay.

Don't worry. I'm not going to make it.

Wait a minute. Wait.

You can't go.

(STAMMERING)

Who's gonna water the orchids?

Who's gonna make sure

you put your pants on in the morning?

(CHUCKLING) Right.

I've got something I gotta tell you.

What?

This!

That was supposed to be a sweater.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Oh, no, no.

No. Oh, no.

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

JAKE: What the hell is she doing?

That's close enough, David.

I think they're trying to protect her.

DIKEMBE: More are coming.

Give me that thing.

Take that.

(BRAKISH YELLING)

Two minutes, sir.

Two minutes until core breach.

Captain Hiller, you've got two minutes.

Two minutes.

Man, we gotta get out of this tornado.

JAKE: Every tornado has an eye, right?

I think if we want to get a shot at her,

we gotta get up there.

But how are we gonna do that?

We don't have any manual controls left.

Don't these things have fusion drive or something?

CHARLIE: Are you kidding me?

That thing is made for outer space.

Down here, we'll burn up.

You got a better idea, Charlie?

Because from where I'm sitting...

it looks like it's our only damn chance.

Our only chance to die.

Charlie, shut up!

Rain, arm the thrusters.

- You're all crazy! - DYLAN: One...

two, three!

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

Still alive.

You all right? Whoo! Man!

I got the controls back.

JAKE: And our weapons are working!

Yeah, but our engines are fried.

All right. It's gotta be a controlled dive, then.

JAKE: There she is!

Everybody, we got one shot at this.

Let's make it count.

(PANTING)

Thanks for always looking out for me, Jake.

You got it, buddy.

(BRAKISH GRUNTING)

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's over. You got 'em all.

Okay.

(CRASHING)

Except that one.

Oh, my God. She's got it.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

(PANTING)

Get ready for a close encounter, bitch!

Charlie!

Go for her back right where the tentacles are!

That's her weak spot.

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS) Yoo-hoo!

(SCREECHING)

Keep shooting, Charlie!

CHARLIE: What do you think I'm doing?

- (GRUNTS) - CHARLIE: Shit!

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

This thing got ejection seats?

CHARLIE: Negative.

BOY: Look out!

I told you not to get too close, David!

David, let's get out of here! (ENGINE STARTS)

Back up. Go back!

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

(SAM GASPING)

We're alive!

We're rich!

Oh, my God. (LAUGHING)

General Adams...

the Earth's core is secure.

(ALL CHEERING)

Whoa! Look at that!

(SQUEALING)

SAM: She's dead. We got her.

- (GUN FIRING) - JAKE: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Baby, put the gun down.

Jake?

Jake!

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

We're not even married yet,

you're already trying to shoot me?

Maybe we should try that.

You know.

(CHUCKLES)

Dinner, first!

Oh...

Director Levinson.

Well done.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Good job.

Catherine...

Um...

Don't say anything. You'll just ruin it.

Who are you?

David never mentioned a beautiful woman in his life.

Dad!

I'm Julius. I'm his father.

Enchantée. I'm Catherine Marceaux.

Could you give us a second?

I was never here.

Listen, maybe you guys should stay with me for a while...

I think that we'd really like that.

Yeah, so would I.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Are you okay?

SPHERE: I am. Thanks to you.

This wasn't all for nothing.

You are a remarkable species.

Not so primitive after all, huh?

You think they'll let me keep this thing?

You have the heart of a warrior.

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

Hell of a job.

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

(MEN SPEAKING ARABIC)

(ALL CHEERING)

(ALL CHEERING)

We are rich! We are rich!

(WHOOPING)

We are rich! We're wealthy!

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING CONTINUES)

I don't know if this planet could survive another attack.

(STAMMERS)

Excuse me, Director Levinson...

you won't believe...

the weapons and the technology...

this thing has on its proverbial hard drive.

It wants us to lead their resistance!

What do you mean?

Two words...

interstellar travel.

Take the fight to them.

When do we leave?

We are gonna kick some serious alien ass.
