Let's get this thing open.

Come on !

All right kids, this is home ..

We'll run operations from here ..

Three floors, HQ ground level.

Medical center second, Control up top.

Get moving !

I'll get that, here.

Looking good, looking good.

And my gear. I got it, I'm on it, I'm on it.

Who owns this place ?

Old south side precinct, baby.

Before they built the new one up on the hill.

Communications ? Rooftop.

Oh, great.

Johnathan ! Yes, sir, yes.

Get me Hendron on the phone.

Right away, sir.

Man, that freakin' thing's huge.

Where you think they're from ?

I have no idea.

Damn.

You can say that again.

No.

I gotta take a leak.

You're kidding me, right ?

I was five beers down when I got the call.

You better hurry, man.

We're gonna get out of here in a minute.

Commander, we have a second unidentified craft

Recording just prior to the one nearby.

Destination ?

I'm working on it.

Johnathan. I need your help on this.

Right away, sir.

What do you have ?

It entered the atmosphere 76 degrees relative to the surface.

Mean velocity of 200 miles per hour.

Do you have point of impact ?

Umm -no.

Do you have anything ?

Wait, I'm picking up a faint magnetic pulse.

I'm trying to isolate the location.

It's not right.

I got it !

We've located the crash in the San Gabriel mountains.

Triangulate the position

and forward to the mobile, OK ?

Time is crucial, so quick, quick.

Yes, sir.

Hopefully it's not somebody's back yard.

We are prepped and ready to go, sir.

Excellent, guys. Load up.

Myron. Yes, sir.

Find Davis, you guys take my six.

You got it.

I hate to break it to you but pee pee time's over.

I'm not kidding man. We're getting out of here now.

You're kidding me, right ? Prewitt's gonna rip our heads off.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Whatever we run into here we want alive.

Okay .. no lead, tranks only.

Where in the hell is Charlie team ?

Sir, I'm trying to get them on the phone right now.

Captain? Sir.

Bravo team. Move your command.

Copy that. Bravo team with me.

Johnathan, Base of operations right here.

I took a look inside, sir.

It's empty.

But it looks like there might be two of them.

Find them.

foot trail located, Commander.

Execute.

Stick with it, B team.

What's the report, Johnathan ?

Three more in London, France and Moscow.

What does that bring the total to ?

Count is fourty two on the ground.

Fourty two ?

Now fourty five.

I need a topographic section

9 9 6 9 5 4.

9 9 5 -

- Listen, son. 9 9 6 9 5 4.

- 9 6 9 5 4. Got it.

Contact rear !

We have contact, sir.

Report.

Going down river.

Location ?

Just over a click north of you.

Just stay on it.

Use your infrared to track it.

We're losing him.

Stand by. I need that map.

There's no signal, I-

OK Bravo, head south south east

and try to slow it down with the tranks.

Roger that, sir.

Push it downstream and I'll intercept.

Charlie team ?

I'm trying. I'm trying.

Stay down !

Stay down !

I need some help getting this guy out of the drink.

You seein' what I'm seein' ?

I got this.

I bet you do.

Sre you OK ?

Were you in an accident ?

Here, you can put this on if you want.

Come on.

We'll give you a ride.

What's the deal ?

I don't know, she's not talking

She's in shock, I think.

Throw her in the back and let's get goin'.

Go.

Yeah sir, this is Myron - uh -

C team is going to rendezvous in about 3 minutes.

You're fifteen minutes late, Myron.

I - I realize that sir, we ah -

We were momentarily delayed.

Go set up a perimeter.

Yes, sir. Right now.

All right, all right..

Johnathan !

Yes, yes.

Get her to a local authority right now.

Well - Who is she ?

I don't know, ask her !

Myron, Glad you could make it.

Sorry, sir.

Bravo team is down.

Two seats in the craft,

only one detained.

Okay you two jock up,

Join alpha, we need to locate the second E.B.E.

Whoa, whoa whoa.

I think we found the other one, sir.

Nice work, Myron.

Somebody check him

I got it.

Sam Peters is on his way down

I want everyone looking sharp.

Get me some scientists

I want to know if we have a lock on these machines, ok?

The creatures aren't talking

maybe these robots are.

Current count of the megaliths ?

Megaliths ?

That's what they're called, sir.

Six hundred and sixty six, sir.

Six hundred and sixty six.

Last count.

New day crowd will have a field day with that.

Yeah.

The same time that these larger transports

apperared on our radar

A smaller craft entered the atmosphere

crashing near the San Gabriel mountains.

On board were two E.B.E.'s

Both are in our custody now.

There's two of them ?

We have them, here ?

Yes, sir.

That's the lead, Prewitt.

Don't bury the lead.

The first thing out of your mouth

should have been

There's a creature from another planet

being debriefed in room 15A downstairs.

Of course.

Sorry, sir.

I think you should do the examination.

How the hell would I even know

What I'm looking at ?

These things look like us.

So, what are we looking at ?

It's a tough call.

I mean they're -

not human.

He looks human.

Yes, he does.

Two arms, legs,

Endoskeleton,

Dermis,

That's not what they are.

Has he spoken ?

Not to me.

Just lays there.

Why not just land

in the larger craft ?

Why take the risk of that

fragile pod in the middle of nowhere ?

Didn't you say that he took out a team of your men ?

Maybe they're not as vulnerable as they look.

For all we know the machines are just a smoke screen

for the real threat.

them.

Well, maybe we'll have more luck

with the female.

Davis, station yourself at holding room one

entry only on my order.

yes, sir.

Any communication ?

Not that I'm aware of, sir.

Hello ?

Can you speak ?

Talk ?

What can you tell me

about those things out there ?

Come on.

You didn't travel all this way

to say nothing.

What do you want ?

Jesus.

I don't suppose you know sign language ?

No, sir.

Hi.

Christ.

I need the numbers, I need them now.

Contact Langley and see what

they can find as far as

linguistics experts, ok?

Sign language, symbologists,

freaking charade professionals

whatever they can find.

Gotcha.

And round up some drawing supplies

maybe they can't talk.

After I debrief here

I want to set up with the male

in interrogation one.

Yes, sir.

Test those numbers again.

Right now.

What's going on ?

We're about to knock on their door.

Initial tests have been unable

to penetrate the megaliths,

even with any known x-ray

or microwave

technology.

We have detected rhythmic patterns

emanating from them, broadcast on the

lines of a simple biorhythm.

What does the signal mean ?

It may be their way to communicate.

These scientists, under the protection

of our soldiers are attempting to talk

with the Megaliths using light intervals.

Mathematics, Prewitt.

The universal language.

What do we intend to say ?

'Why the hell are you here ?'

I guess that means they're hostile.

Have any of them attacked yet

that weren't provoked ?

nothing.

six hundred and sixty six quiet.

Ah, they're waiting for something.

Obviously.

How are you with our two friends downstairs ?

No progress.

What if the megaliths are

looking for them ?

lots of 'what if's.

what if they caused this ?

What if they're warning us ?

How will Washington respond ?

Full strike. Possibly nuclear.

UN's working overtime right now

to find it's Achilles' heel.

What if they're benevolent ?

Lots of 'what if's.

They wouldn't hurt her, would they ?

What did you say ?

Your thought patterns are amazingly random.

attaching the meanings and the sounds

has been - quite difficult.

Commander, you might wanna come down

to the interrogation room.

Should be happy you're talking.

Who's Angelina Jolie ?

What ?

Angelina Jolie ?

Ah - she's - an actress.

I was just thinking that you look like her.

What did you say ?

Hey, what's going on ?

Is she reading my mind, or something ?

Stop, clear my mind, try to clear my mind.

Look cut that out, ok ?

It's freaking me out.

Your world is in trouble, Joshua.

We've watched from a great distance.

and observed that you have become a danger.

Your weaponry is too advanced.

you have endangered your own planet.

and have become too big of a threat

to others in the future.

The END is here.

But your world can be saved.

It can save itself.

If you can show me that there is value

in Human life

the destruction can be stopped.

Prove this to me,

and there will be a tomorrow.

He should be here in a second.

You have until the sun is down

at the end of this day

to find a solution.

Myron ?

She's talking, sir.

Excellent.

Where exactly are you from ?

Why are you here ?

She says she wants us to show her

the value of Human life, sir.

Or what ?

Maybe she should tell you that.

What is your purpose here ?

What exactly did she tell you ?

You have until the sun is down

at the end of this day

to find a solution.

Was she actually reading your mind ?

Yes, sir.

Prove that Human life has value.

How the hell are we supposed to do that,

take her to see the goddamn Lion King ?

How can we even be sure

that she is being honest with us ?

could be a ploy to escape.

I for one, am gonna need a little more information.

More questioning, exactly.

She's proven she can talk,

now it's just a matter of geting the answers.

Plus if she can talk, they both can talk.

I think we work on the man immediately.

If she cares about him,

we can use that to get her to tell us

what we need to know.

That's a good point.

No - Sir -

Let's interrogate them individually

and then we'll try a group session.

OK.

Sir -

I believe her.

It's not that simple.

Well the farthest thing she's asking

to experience is continuing to be

locked up here, subjected to -

She's dangerous, Myron.

You're forgetting that because of the face she's wearing.

Don't you remember how she defended herself

at the crash site ?

Think she's Gandhi, with powers like that ?

At least we have to keep trying.

Need to figure out a way of showing her

how valuable life is inside this facility,

or she's never going outside these walls.

Hey -

You're gonna have to talk to these guys.

What's your name ?

It's difficult to say in your language.

The closest word would probably be "sky".

Sky.

Okay.

Myron, give us some privacy.

Yes, sir.

All right, we tried this the easy way.

Let's give her a nice, full dose.

Hurry up.

I'm trying.

Shit.

She's dangerous, deliver the injection !

SKY !

Sky !

Enough !

Sky.

Commander !

Stop it !

You - are relieved of duty, Myron.

go home.

Cuff her to the chair.

As far as we can tell, they use the

surrounding energy to defend themselves.

Administering a counter current of electricity

will disable the ability.

fighting fire with fire.

Exactly.

How long until the Pentathol takes effect ?

A few minutes.

and what about the girl ?

We shot her up with a sedative.

She's sleeping like a baby.

Maybe Myron should be present

while you question her.

He seems to have formed an attachment.

Josh Myron is no longer a part of the team, sir.

Where you gonna go ?

Colorado.

Go see my father at his cabin.

Going AWOL ?

I was relieved of my duties, ok ?

I'm not gonna stick around this place

and watch them provoke that thing into a fight.

Here.

Hey -

Take care of your family, alright ?

Why didn't you speak to us before ?

There are many forms of communication.

I simply needed to learn yours.

We speak much differently

We ?

For all your technology,

you've barely stepped out onto

the doorstep of this universe.

We are - neighbors, really.

What is your name ?

My name is of little consequence.

I was sent here -

to deliver her.

The woman ?

And what role does she play ?

she is -

the destroyer.

Sir, Washington is ready.

"destroyer", what the hell is that ?

Washington is ready for what ?

Our communication with the EBE

has put us in a position,

We feel we need to hit first.

That's suicide.

Maybe. This isn't ?

What's the assault ?

Probably air.

Tapped into the NSC,

They've launched twenty minutes ago.

How's your boy ?

He's with his mom.

I have visual.

Lock target and engage.

Roger that.

Missiles away.

Weapons ineffective.

Wait, something's happening.

Question is,

did we just pull the tail on this tiger, or not ?

Damn.

Joshua.

Joshua.

Joshua.

Sir, there's heigtened activity readings

from the Megalith.

Oh, shit.

- UH -

It's ok.

It's ok, I'm getting you out of here.

OK.

you gotta be unhooked from these wires.

Listen, you stay close, ok ?

Come on.

Come on.

Get out of the car, Myron.

get out of the car !

Don't do it.

Myron.

Myron !

I can't explain to you

the value of Human life.

I mean, you want to know about

a nine millimeter, I'm your man.

I'm not a philosopher.

I don't know the value of Human life.

in fact,

if you really want to know the truth,

I'm not so sure it all

means anything myself.

It appears to be an EMP, sir.

Everything that relies on electricity

is useless for the moment.

Vehicles, - I know what an EMP is, son.

How long until we're back up ?

No telling.

Any word from Sharon

before we lost power ?

No, sir.

Goddamn dark ages.

The electric pulse corresponds to two criteria.

There's a result of the simultaneous magnetic beams

and also serves as a harbinger

to the seriousness of the situation.

Harbinger ?

A sign of things to come.

Clear the room.

What's going on out there ?

Did you think that there would not be

consequences to your actions ?

So whatever's happening is because of US ?

The actions of your kind are predictable.

That is why she was sent.

To put an end to the inevitable.

We will find a way to breach those things

since you know us so well,

you know we don't give up very easily.

Yes.

Unfortunately there is no time.

What do you mean ?

The countdown has begun.

The man is talking again.

What's he saying ?

The countdown has begun.

What - what countdown ?

That save Humanity crap ?

There's been some repercussions

due to the attempt on the DC Megalith.

not any of the pilots survived.

We lost communications due to the

electromagnetic pulse, but before

we lost communications,

we were able to capture some vital information.

Each of the Megaliths across the globe

has begun to emit a high intensity

energy beam focused on one central location.

The Earth's core.

The result of this will cause

the core's spin to slow.

Cause the core's spin to slow ?

In other words, the Earth is beginning

to tilt off it's normal axis.

It doesn't make any sense.

Why ?

What do they stand to gain from this ?

Strategically it makes no sense.

Well that's a good sign.

How long do we have ?

Well, it's only an assumption, but -

How long ?

Earth is large, even for the Megaliths -

HOW LONG ??

What are we talking about here ?

Days ? Weeks ?

Hours.

If you've just tuned in,

We're about to recieve a broadcast

from the President of the United States of America.

Hold on, I want to hear this.

My fellow Americans.

together we find ourselves

in the midst of a global crisis,

This is our President.

He's the leader of our country

That's the guy you should be talking to

Not me.

I'm just - I mean -

What is "church" ?

What ?

What is "church" ?

That's the place I was gonna take you to.

It - might not be what you're expecting.

It's kinda all I have, though.

In this Church, will you show me your Humanity ?

God, I hope so.

I mean, I'm not religious or anything

but uh,

you know, when I was a kid

I used to go to church with my mom.

Pastor there had this way of making

complicated things seem kind of - simple.

"Mom" ?

Yeah, my mom.

Get out of the car !

Both of you get out of the car NOW !

Get out, NOW !

There's aliens all over this city

and you guys are the ony people

with a working car.

So get out, or I shoot the bitch.

NOW ! Move it !

go, go.

Move it !

You all right ?

Why didn't you stop him ?

Why would I do that?

Because you can, with this thing.

It's not my place to do so.

I'm here to observe.

Al right, fine. Let's walk.

Sir. Josh Myron's file. Excellent.

Thank you, Johnathan.

Anything.

Carry on.

Where are you, Josh ?

This is what lies in the hearts of Earthlings ?

All this pain.

It's called sacrifice.

Why haven't they run like the others ?

They come here for shelter.

They feel peace here.

We have watched your world from afar.

and we have seen wars and power struggles

and great fear.

from the inside there's so much more.

So much you don't know about.

Wait here.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Father James.

He's not here.

They were all hurt in the Exodus.

He left to help them.

"Game over" ?

What does this mean ?

It means you picked the wrong tour guide.

I chose you because of the questions

you have in your heart, Joshua.

Chose me ?

That's right.

What happens to the world

shouldn't rest on my shoulders.

But it does.

You have a purpose, as I do.

What's it like where you're from ?

Wow.

That was really nice.

Sir.

We got a signal on Davis.

Excellent. Where ?

A church on Hill Street, but -

But what ?

Well, we lost signal.

So we have no contact with Davis or the others ?

Well I mean it could just be -

Form a small team

deploy them to the scene.

How long until sunset ?

Four hours, fifteen minutes.

Well then hurry.

Yes, sir.

Radio check, radio check. Davis to base.

So all I have to do is find Father James

Somewhere out here on the street.

I've got a thousand square city blocks,

No ride,

and four hours 'til sunset, perfect.

"When the going gets tough the tough get going" ?

Yeah, that's one of my father's favorites.

You know what, I'm not so sure

I like you being in my head all the time, Ok ?

Your thought patterns are very confusing.

you know sometimes we consider

our thoughts to be private

here on planet Earth.

What is it that you seek to hide ?

God, we need transportation.

Let's try this thing.

Come on.

No keys.

Look.

I'm gonna need you to participate here

Ok if you want me to show you

the value of Humanity, you're gonna

have to help out.

I told you, I do not get involved.

Fine.

Look

Put these on.

If We're gonna walk you might as well wear those.

might be a little big

but they're better than nothing.

Hey - That's our car !

That's the guy that took our car !

Hey, get out of the car !

Josh, put the gun down.

Go, go go.

go ! Run !

Run !

Scan the vehicles, front and back.

Josh.

Come on, buddy.

Doesn't have to be this way.

Take a ride downtown

everything will be fine.

All right Josh.

This is your last chance to

hand over the girl.

Josh, man.

What are you doing ?

Why are you doing this, man ?

I'm just trying to do what she asked.

Let's just take her to headquarters.

She's the only hope we've got.

Josh !

Josh !

Agent Lewis says they found you

wandering the halls of our facility.

I was curious.

I know the feeling.

Your time is running out.

Sunset, right.

And what happens at sunset ?

Whatever it is, it happens to both of us.

My life is - not important.

and Ours ?

We see you as the agressor.

you are a threat.

You came to our planet

To avoid our inevitable conflict.

So the plan is to eradicate the problem

In this case us

before it becomes a problem ?

So who's the agressor ?

It's just practical.

Practical ?

Practical ?

There are so many things

wrong with that statement.

What about making first contact

that's peaceful ?

What about communicating with us ?

That is what she is for.

What if she is not shown

the value of Humanity ?

Then you will die.

Look.

This is my son.

His name is Cory.

He's twelve years old,

he's a little boy.

Look at him !

There's your threat.

This is worth fighting for.

This is the value of Humanity.

Why then are you not with him now ?

Hi, this is Sharon Prewitt

I can't come to the phone right now

But leave your name and number

And I'll get back to you

As soon as possible.

Hi, It's me.

I don't know where you are

I'm sure it's impossible that

you are gonna get this, but

Wherever you are, if you do,

just stay there, ok ?

You can't outrun this thing

I'll find you.

I love you guys.

Listen, I don't want paperwork and reports

All right, we don't have time for that.

I just want straight information.

The UN security council has authorized

the use of nuclear weapons.

A nuclear strike has been issued

against the Megalith stationed on the

Pacific island of Naru.

WHY ?

Naru has a population of nine thousand.

It will produce the least amount of casualties.

The least amount of casualties ?

Christ, Prewitt. We have what -

Four hours before sunset ?

What do you want us to do ?

We're talking nine thousand against billions.

It's not the time to get on some

moral bullshit podium right now.

It's crazy.

No.

No.

Let him Get a breath.

Target in sight.

Tell me we destroyed it.

What's wrong,

What's happening to you ?

So much pain.

What can I do, Sky ?

What do you need me to do ?

Sky !

God, dang it.

A state of emergency has been declared

for the Los Angeles county and the surrounding areas.

Anyone still remaining in the down town area

must evacuate immediately to designated shelters

where food and medical - -

You scared me.

I thought it was too late.

As long as there's sunlight

there's still a chance.

one day is just not enough time.

I mean, Ive been living here for years

and I don't have the answers you're looking for.

In one day, I can't do it.

It's all that you have.

What can I possibly show you

that you don't already know ?

You cannot reach a destination without a journey.

What does that mean ?

It means that you are the way.

We just recieved this report

apparently a giant tsunami wave

has obliterated the tiny island

of Naru, leaving no survivors.

Our only real alternative at this point

lies in the captured EBE's.

The female has a great deal of power

That's obvious.

All our resources at this time

are focused on locating her.

Two hours thirty four minutes to sunset.

We need all satellites pointed at

down town L.A. Plug into every

traffic cam, freeway cam, ATM, signal light -

Our moves are recorded two hundred times a day

there's gotta be something out there.

On the ground ?

Our guys are crawling over every

square inch of this city.

Good 'cause we're running out of time.

Don't you worry.

Hey ! hey !

You have to help us.

What's the matter ?

My wife is pregnant

you have to bring us to the hospital.

OK ?

She's uh,

She's gonna have a baby.

It's gonna be ok.

A small child.

Listen uh -

We're under martial law

the hospitals are closed right now

Where do you live ?

We're right across from the hospital.

Oh, god.

Hold on, hold on.

All right this is - let's put this back

Watch your head.

Easy, now easy now.

Hey, hey hey -

Hang on, we're being followed.

Ah - push !

You want to know the value of Humanity ?

You're staring at it.

Hey - Lisa ?

Hey, she's not breathing !

We need help

She needs CPR.

Look out.

Slide her down, slide her down

two hands, two hands.

Breathe !

Breathe !

Don't stop, don't stop.

No, Don't stop.

Hey -

Where are they ?

Who ?

I don't have time to play games.

The others.

There's no one here but me and my wife.

And my new daughter Sky.

Search the building.

Tell me we did it.

The sun's still up, did we do it ?

Huh ?

Do you feel that ?

You got involved when you said you wouldn't.

That's called compassion.

That's - that's it

What you felt in your heart

That's it.

That's what it's all about.

Tell me we did it.

What else do we have to do ?

I must get back to my transport.

That's it, I just have to get

you back to the transport ?

Don't move, Myron.

Don't move.

Call a medic !

Find anything ?

What ?

You are in the custody of the United States government.

You are being treated as a terrorist.

Do you understand ?

There will be no escape this time.

You an I are in this together.

Sir, he's gone.

Find him.

Sam -

Just listen to me for one second, ok ?

Let's get her back to the ship

and she can put an end to this.

You showed her the meaning of life ?

No offense, but I doubt it.

We're so close.

What the hell do we have to lose ?

For all we know

the only reason they haven't

destroyed the planet is because

she's on it somewhere.

I think we'll hold on to her.

She's already seen what she needs to see,

let's just get her on the Megalith.

In her current condition

I doubt she'll be going anywhere.

Let's go.

Sam, we gotta try.

Sam !

Sam, we gotta try !

How long do we have ?

At best, you have but one hour.

Was it worth it ?

He's safe.

What ?

They're both safe.

Isn't that what you really want to know ?

You should be with them.

The boy is afraid.

She and others are gathered together,

but she feels alone.

How do I save them ?

Your world is ending.

don't you think you should be holding your son ?

Everyone evacuate the building, now !

Evacuate the building, that's an order !

Where's Prewitt ?

Where's Prewitt ?

Get out of here, kid !

Get her I.V we'll get her out of here

Let's go.

Prewitt ?

Prewitt !

Prewitt, what are you doing ?

Myron, stop the car

or God help me,

I will shoot you myself,

You got that ?

Sorry, Sam.

We're taking her back to the transport.

Prewitt, you know she's the

only leverage we have left.

She's our bargaining chip.

Pull it over, NOW !

Sky, hang in there.

You can't take her back to the ship, Myron.

I've gotta get her back.

Take her back, to the ship,

they will destroy this planet.

That's a chance we'll have to take.

You're gonna have to trust me.

She's dying, Sam

and I've gotta get her back to the ship NOW.

You don't stop that car,

we may all die

You hear me ?

Too late, sir.

Myron -

Damn it.

Make her shut them off or I will shoot you !

Myron !

Sam, let them go.

Myron !

Let them go.

Myron !

My short time on the other side

Taught me that we need to learn

To live in harmony.

Not just with ourselves

But with the entire universe.

They returned to their planet.

Leaving us here to pick up the pieces.

Our families will be reunited.

our cities rebuilt.

Somehow.

Every night my eyes search the stars

Wondering where she might be amomg them.

We have learned the value of peace

and just as the memory of her face will fade

So will the warning that she had brought with her.

Our world once divided

Learned to hope.

Together.

But I knew

They would be watching.
