Original subtitles

In 1953, Earth experienced a war of the worlds.

Common bacteria stopped the aliens,

but it didn't kill them.

Instead, the aliens lapsed into a state of deep hibernation.

Now the aliens have been resurrected,

more terrifying than ever before.

In 1953, aliens started taking over the world.

Today, they're taking over our bodies.

Paul is dead.

Headquarters, come in.

Headquarters?! Anybody!

Who are you?

Remember nothing!

Arrival complete.

Beginning seven day mission.

What is that?

Where is the Advocacy?

Tell me, where are your leaders?!

37 dead aliens in the last

two days?

And we haven't had anything to do with it?

That is affirmative.

Then who is doing it?

Well, whoever it is is real good.

Chalk up three more

dead aliens to the body count.

Could they be having some kind of civil war?

My own theory

is that it's an armed mutiny against the alien leaders.

But why?

Well, maybe they promised their people

an easy victory they did not deliver.

Bad policy.

Leave me alone!

Stay away!

Get back!

I... I know who you are.

You're-you're from Qar'To!

Since you know that,

you also know I seek your leaders.

Last time... Where is the Advocacy?

Whereabouts of alien leaders still unknown.

Day Three.

Damn. What a way to go.

Yeah, without a parachute, too.

It's a pretty rude stop at the bottom.

Do you have any theories?

Well, I think we're dealing with the same phenomena here.

Whatever's out there killing aliens did that, too.

But we're talking about a different M.O. here, Harrison.

There's no signs of a struggle.

Now, wait a minute.

Are you suggesting that he'd let himself

be pushed into this shaft?

No, I think he jumped.

23 floors?

Now, why the hell would he do that?

Because whatever he was afraid of

is worse than 23 floors without a parachute.

What could be worse than that?

They are destroying us

street by street, city by city.

Who is "they?"

Who is killing us?

Humans who have found a way of recognizing us.

But how?

We are invisible

inside their repulsive, primitive bodies.

It is obvious that is no longer the case.

We must warn all units

of this new and growing danger.

Our soldiers must avoid human contact

except where absolutely necessary.

We are ready, Advocate.

Find those with the ability to see us as our true selves.

How is this to be done, Advocate?

Those humans

will come looking for us again.

But do not kill them.

Bring us their living bodies,

so their minds and memory

will betray their comrades.

So it will be.

To life... immortal.

To life immortal.

We're under attack, Advocate!

Who is attacking you?

Come in! Report immediately!

Where is the Advocacy?!

Come in! Report immed...!

Our communications link has been broken.

So it would appear.

But by whom?

What is the true nature of this killing menace?

Discover that, comrades,

and we will discover the means of fighting back.

Roger, 74.

Coroner's unit dispatched...

With these three, the tally's up to 86 in four days.

We still don't have a clue as to who's doing it.

Except for this new from

of alien residue, whatever it is.

And extremely high radiation readings,

like the ones inside.

Like the other hits that we can't explain...

Over five cities now.

And each time it happens, Colonel,

they go a little more public.

Suzanne?

I got what I need.

Let's go.

Harrison.

How can you see anything?

Harrison!

Did you knock?

Yes. Three times.

What are you doing?

I'm contemplating the problem.

Well, if we could

finally catch some of these aliens,

maybe they could tell us what the hell is going on.

Here's today's lab results

from the alien residue analysis.

Well, this is just what I expected.

Do you know those white crystals?

Organic tissue turned into glass.

I've only seen this phenomena

recorded once before.

Where was that?

That was at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Are you saying that these aliens

have been killed by some small nuclear device?

Well, it would fit.

The radiation levels are far above the norm,

and there's this... this chalky white outline

around the alien bodies.

Do we have any kind of weapon

that would do something like that?

Atomic bullets?

Nothing like that on Earth exists.

Thank God.

Colonel...

my hunch is that we're dealing with

something entirely new here.

Yeah, but what?

New players in the game.

What do you mean new players?

New aliens.

Inquiry method useless.

Will pursue other access.

Day Five.

Okay, excepting for the mutant alien, Quinn,

we've had absolutely no information from the enemy.

And to win this war, we're going to have to have it.

Therefore, the object of this operation

is to capture these aliens alive.

Colonel.

For our trap, I have selected

an old warehouse in a relatively

deserted urban area.

Why a warehouse?

Well, aside from

reducing the risk to innocent civilians,

it fits all the criteria

for a typical alien-style

strategic location.

So, what's the plan, Colonel?

Omega Squad will set up

a perimeter outside

the warehouse here.

The hostiles will enter

there... the only open way in or out of the complex.

Now does anyone have any suggestions

as to how we lure them inside?

Well, I could set up a transmitter inside

and we could broadcast recordings of intercepted

alien transmissions on all frequencies.

There is only just one problem.

What's that?

I have absolutely no idea what those transmissions say.

I mean, it could be bird calls for all I know.

Well, it's no need to know.

Whether they think it's a lost alien patrol using crude SOS

or a trap, doesn't matter either way.

They're gonna have to check it out.

And once inside,

we've got them.

Good.

Suzanne, how's that new weapon coming?

Just finished.

I've developed

a dependable bacterial method of capturing the aliens alive...

Unconscious,

but not dead... using microbes friendly to humans.

Excellent.

Well, if all goes according to plan, then,

we'll be able to use our new psych program

to make these alien prisoners talk.

Well, without it we're dead.

"Know your enemy."

"And know yourself,

and victory will be yours."

Well, I'm glad to see they are still teaching Sun Tzu

at West Point, Colonel.

Little did an old Chinese general ever imagine

that one day his advice

would apply to aliens from outer space.

Only the face of the enemy has changed.

An obvious trick to lure us into a trap.

The idiocy of the humans never ceases to amaze me.

Idiocy, comrade, or brilliance?

Trap or not,

it would appear we must take their bait

if we ever hope to learn their secret.

And so it shall be.

It's a brilliant idea...

Playing back their own messages as bait.

You know I think this one's actually gonna work, Harrison.

Don't thank me. Thank Norton.

Thank you, Norton.

You're welcome.

If it works. It'll cost you a cigar.

The bacterial jet guns are tested

and ready for action.

Now this will work, yes, Suzanne?

It'll bring 'em back alive.

At least it ought to.

That's reassuring.

Bogie in sight, Apple One. Over.

Let them get inside, Apple Two. Over.

Aye, aye, Colonel. Over.

They've recorded our broadcast communications.

Obviously they have no idea what they mean.

Are all cameras operating and functional?

Proceed according to counsel.

The birds are loose, Apple One. Over.

Steady, Apple Two. Over.

Birds in the cage, Apple One.

Now!

We got 'em! We got 'em!

Okay, get their weapons!

What's that?

It seems to be coming from... everywhere.

Remember nothing.

What's wrong?

Ironhorse!

Ironhorse!

Paul!

Colonel!

Paul?

Colonel, where are you?

Stay where you are, Harrison!

Paul?

Colonel! Paul!

Remember nothing.

Paul!

Paul!

Ironhorse!

Ironhorse is dead.

I prefer to believe he's in pursuit of the aliens.

Norton, even if he was in pursuit,

he would call in, wouldn't he?

Look, his people are doing

everything they can to find him.

Let's face it...

He's dead.

Let's not face it yet, Harrison.

Take a look at the analysis of the alien body remains.

Same M.O. Same weapon.

No human casualties.

Oh, Suzanne, maybe he is safe.

I betcha Paul has them right where he wants them.

Where am I?

Earth!

Who are you, human?

Lieutenant Colonel Paul Ironhorse, U.S. Army.

Tell me, commander of the humans...

Where is the Advocacy?

Who the hell are you?

Last time.

Tell me!

Where are the leaders

of the aliens?

If I knew that, I would kill them myself long ago.

I... am... Katara.

Sent from planet Qar'To

to annihilate the People of the Three

from planet Mor'Tax.

Then you're not the same kind as the other aliens.

That is obvious to all.

Where's the rest of your team?

I am the only one.

You're it?

Against thousands of hostile aliens?

Only one is needed

to accomplish this simple task.

I think...

you and I can help each other.

What the hell are you doing?

You might call it mind reading.

I think I'll pass.

Yield... to me.

You were ordered not to return

without those humans who know us.

Spare me, Advocate.

They are not human.

Not human?

I saw their method of attack.

I saw their weapons.

What are you saying?

I saw their leader.

It is a Synth from the planet Qar'To.

It has assumed the shape

of a human female.

But you can recognize the leader?

Yes.

Our camera recorded its abhorrent image.

This is the one.

Join us comrades and hear our plan.

No one from Qar'To can be allowed

to live on this planet.

Find the leader and bring her here.

I am nothing without your counsel.

To life immortal.

To life immortal.

And through General Henry J. Wilson,

I have direct authority from the President of the United States

to wage war against the aliens.

I...

believe...

I don't remember that I already told you that.

That is good.

It is good.

Remember nothing.

Open your eyes now.

What did you do to me?

My throat, it's so dry.

You had much to tell me.

What the hell did I tell you?

What you know,

I know.

My God.

Do not fear me, human.

We share a common enemy.

If those from Mor'Tax conquer this planet,

both our peoples will suffer and die.

Do you understand?

Not exactly.

What do your people have to do with this war?

We come from the same star system

as those aliens who invaded the Earth,

but we wish to preserve humanity.

I must kill the alien leaders,

and without their counsel, the others will soon die.

You will help me accomplish this mission.

My power has some...

limitations.

What do you want me to do?

What I ask.

You will tell your people

that I am a friend.

Tell me I don't need to do this, Norton.

Can't, Doc.

It's been over 24 hours, and not a word from Ironhorse.

We have to evacuate.

Hi.

I've got to talk to you.

Okay, okay.

Check me out.

I know the drill.

I'm the one that made the security rules.

I am not an alien.

He's clean.

Thank God you're safe.

We were so worried about you.

You are too cool!

We thought

you were D-E-A-D dead!

Where have you been, huh?

You were right, Harrison.

There are new players.

We are not alone in our fight against the aliens.

I knew it!

I knew it! It had to be new aliens.

And who are they?

Peaceful aliens, Norton,

from beyond the stars.

Natural enemies of the aliens that we're

at war with.

They have sent help to save

Earth from these creatures.

What kind of help?

A friend from another planet who needs us.

Someone called Katara.

Uh,

just one someone?

Only one is needed to accomplish this simple task.

Together, we will kill the aliens.

Excuse me?

Maybe you better tell us about this,

about how you came to know

about this.

Well, I need to, I... I want to.

But something is

wrong with Katara, and we have

to help her.

She's on our side!

Nothing here, either.

But I know the life signals

of the one from Qar'To came from over there.

Then we will find her.

What's going on here?

Time for a picture.

Assume position.

Ah, they're okay.

They are gone.

She must be here.

I knew it.

This is it.

We have done very well.

Our enemy is near,

very near.

We have good news, Advocate.

We are here. Speak.

We have located the Synth assassin from Qar'To.

Then bring it here.

We can not, Advocate.

We are too few in number.

Remain where you are, then.

We will lead this momentous battle ourselves.

Bring us fresh human bodies.

We also need to prepare a circuit disabler weapon

to destroy the Synth.

One will be constructed

immediately.

Those bodies should do nicely.

To life immortal.

I'm in a large room...

a very large room...

over water?

Do you know where this is?

Yes, I do.

Good then, Colonel.

You can go to sleep now.

It's possible he suffered a memory loss

from some kind of post-hypnotic suggestion,

or a psycho traumatic experience, but

physically, he's in top condition.

And he certainly believes what he's telling us.

Do you?

I want to.

Okay, yes.

So do I.

Now, it's imperative that we meet this Katara

and give her our help.

What?! She's a killer!

Who's gone out

out of her way not to harm humans, remember?

Now, we share a common enemy and a common goal.

She's an intelligent, superior,

highly evolved life-form from across the galaxy.

And she means us no harm.

I wish I was convinced of that.

Well, Ironhorse is proof enough for me.

Suzanne, if we could

take what we have learned about the aliens on Earth

and combine it with what Katara knows

about them from out there,

we could find the leaders, and we can kill them.

And then what?

According to what Katara told the Colonel,

without the advice of the Advocacy,

the lesser aliens are helpless,

and they'll die.

Breaks my heart.

Yeah, mine, too.

You know something?

I never thought I'd be able to say this.

I think we're going to win this war.

All right, Colonel.

Where do we go now?

There she is.

It's the Synth from Qar'To.

Okay. Let's go, Norton.

I will remember her.

The Advocates will be here soon.

She must not escape.

Does any of this look familiar?

This is the place.

Just as you described it... Over the water.

Going to be the new fair grounds.

I don't like this, Harrison.

I really don't.

It's all right, Suzanne.

Katara's our friend.

And she needs our help.

We better hurry.

Katara!

These are the friends

that I promised to bring to you.

I am... your friend.

Do not worry,

humans.

Know my power

and believe what I tell you now

as my time here grows short.

That was fantastic!

Damned amazing if you ask me!

But we only came here to help you. Katara.

Paul said you needed our help.

I do.

I must conserve my energy

until I leave.

Listen carefully now

and remember well my words when I am gone.

You are at war

with an enemy that my kind lives to destroy.

They are alien parasites,

an imbalance in this galaxy that must be exterminated

before they spread.

That's exactly what we've been trying to do.

And you have done well,

Dr. Harrison Blackwood.

You all have.

I probed your colonel

and saw your pictures in his mind.

Harrison, she knows our names.

Yes, Suzanne.

And much more.

You have nothing to fear from me, humans.

I am your friend.

Then why are you leaving us?

To reach your world from mine,

I traveled this space

between the dimensions.

I must return

before that space folds back on itself again.

Do you understand?

Yes.

At least I think I do.

No matter.

What is important is that you continue to fight

against your enemies and do not lose hope.

Fear...

is your worst enemy.

The people of my planet

wish to preserve humanity.

I return reenergized

with another of my kind

inside one Earth year.

When the space folds back again?

Yes, human.

You do understand.

I try.

Where's the fire?

This is unfortunate.

Now you cannot leave.

This structure is surrounded by those aliens who you fear.

How do you know that?

I can see them by their auras.

I tried to draw the Advocacy

into leaving their safe hiding place.

But I thought them

too cowardly to respond.

I was wrong.

Well, terrific.

Now what are we going to do?

We're completely exposed out here.

We've got to try for the roof to limit the line of fire.

No! It is my directive to preserve you at all costs.

No human lives may be lost.

You must wait behind there.

Let us try and protect you.

No, I do not need help, human.

Go.

Norton!

Right.

I'm sure glad you gave me these stick fighting lessons, Norton.

You were a good student but personally,

I'd prefer a bazooka.

Where the hell did you get that?

Birthday gift from Uncle Hank.

I had a feeling about today.

Here.

We hear her here, Advocate.

Kill her first, and the humans will be helpless.

So it will be.

Colonel, they're coming from below.

Norton!

Harrison!

Norton.

Suzanne!

Colonel!

She needs us. Let's go.

I'm right behind you.

Are you all right Suzanne?

What the hell is that?

She's an android.

A robot?

This answers all our questions.

What are you doing?

If your lost life energy

is not replaced,

you will all die.

It's no dream, Suzanne.

I feel great!

I must leave now.

Then let me help you.

I feel your thoughts.

You cannot follow me into the next dimension.

I don't understand.

Your body is not evolved to travel the paths I can.

Because you are synthetic?

I will return.

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
