Original subtitles

in the year 2017

the armed forces of the americas joint

space research division

launched an unmanned probe to intercept

a comet

the same comet passed by 30 years

earlier

and scientists have detected signs of

rudimentary life

this probe was launched to retrieve

samples of that life form

bringing alien life samples back to

earth for study

didn't seem real bright to me but then i

already had a low opinion of the

research

branch of the military that prejudice

goes back to my father's death

and one of their secret experiments gone

wrong

[Music]

this was when i started having a

recurring dream about dad's death

then the whole world woke up to a

nightmare worse than anything i might

have imagined

the probe lost control on reentry and

crashed in africa

a deadly plague swept the earth as a

result

order and infrastructure are collapsing

as billions of people are dying

i'm a geneticist assigned to the

military research division of working on

a cure

i'm working on it with lieutenant anna

pontane

she's a scientist who became my wife and

now

my mortal enemy now

[Music]

ah what a difference a year makes

as of today your services have been

reallocated to the armed forces

you'll be working with me and if i say

no

it isn't your decision considering my

mistrust of all things military

you'll get over it i already have a job

the percivis

i was told you'd resist independent

thought isn't resistance

rigid toilet training lieutenant better

than none at all

remaining in doctor conception don't be

a fool john you were cut out to play the

hero

land and give me the ark

these things aren't even human they

don't even make it the full time

i will not let you destroy them john

[ __ ] she's actually trying to kill

program me for christ's sake

is anyone out there i'm in real trouble

here

what i first noticed about anna was her

love of science 30 years ago we detected

what we thought was a dna structure

on a long period comet as it passed

through jupiter's atmosphere

the comet's return has improved our

knowledge our current data reveals it's

actually an rna structure

there's no sign of reproduction or any

other activity

comet

[Music]

well if it is a virus or virus like in

its behavior

there'll be no indications of life until

it comes into contact with a host anyway

you know all this time we've been

looking for little green men when we

should have been looking for was little

green bugs we're much more interested in

studying its chemistry and what might

come of that

the probe will land in 187 days

you're bringing it back to earth of

course

well what if this thing does behave like

a virus i mean we almost certainly don't

have any defenses against it

if you want them you're gonna have to

capture me alive anna

your father

yes he's a legend in the military

legends become legends because the truth

is obscured

why is it lieutenant that all the papers

computer records

everything regarding this project

remains classified

everyone associated with this project is

dead and still

after 30 years no one seems to know how

or why

my father died

yeah take this in and help my ass

land give me the ark get out

[Music]

gps

[Applause]

good morning

is

i'm in very deep [ __ ] here anyway i'm

losing control

[Music]

the table was a large one but the three

were all crowded together in one corner

no room no room they cried out when they

saw alice coming

there's plenty of room she sat down a

large arm chair i'm scared of you

[Music]

than wasting it asking riddles that have

no actual same

[Music]

everyone expecting rain

[Music]

watch out the lunatics escape

watch out the lunatics escape

good then we don't need a church wedding

who said anything about marriage

certainly not me

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

i keep seeing the same guy taking notes

and the little girl

i can't explain her

maybe it's you that's not funny

you're edgy today yeah well i've got my

own baggage

john i don't like feeling vulnerable

i'll never abandon you anna loyalty john

that's so important to me you got that

what about the baby the baby's fine

lights

music

[Music]

exploding delightful

bigger than we thought

exploding for rightful

i think of it alive

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

wallace here anna is definitely in

pursuit

victory is ours

behold our people seduced and diluted by

inferior

races so that we stand on the threshold

of mediocrity

but this has ended now for the aryan

messiah will rise up

and repopulate a cleansed world

access override complete miranda will

crash on african coordinates

miranda is heading for the exact

coordinates you predicted sir

your prophecy will come to pass the

world is defenseless

and completely at your mercy

excellent global cleansing

can commence

order and infrastructure is failing

everywhere as the death toll mounts

exponentially three billion

dead no one seems to know for certain

how the virus is spreading

whether it is airborne or carried by

water or food

no one is safe no one is immune

high-ranking sources of the joint

command of the americas are quoted as

confirming the renowned geneticist of

john d'neil

biologist anna pontane working in

protective isolation

on a cure and authorities are urging the

planet's citizenry

not to give up

ah

[Music]

when doomsday was upon us i made the

mistake of suggesting she should end her

pregnancy

a mistake i would never recover from

it's not too late for an abortion

what's your freedom for a life look all

i'm saying is not a good time to

bringing a kid into this world

don't you do this to me john i will not

be torn apart like this anna

you think this baby depends on you i'd

kill for this

child the world's going to hell in a

hand card you react with a female

hormonal imbalance

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

she miscarried a few days later but i

might as well have done it myself as far

as she was concerned

i'm sorry i'm to advise you the virus

has now been

detected on every continent all reports

suggest

it is airborne

the joint chiefs have declared martial

law quarantine areas are being

established

masks being mass produced and issued

this compound is now under military

jurisdiction

and quarantined

what does that mean

[Music]

it there'll be means more children

[Music]

ugh

[Music]

what

this is lieutenant fonte come in

that's very good anna i eagerly await

your return

do

[Music]

now one of the people in our pool is the

antibodies to fight this virus

it's not even from the same solar system

[Music]

it's almost poetic comet races through

the sky bringing with it death and

destruction

maybe the comet is just nature's way of

cleaning house

i don't buy that i don't see anything

divine in this virus

we can stop it we have to stop it

you're right

of course you're right

[Music]

it mutates faster than anything we can

come up with exactly

it's evolving faster than we are

the red queen

remember the red queen theory of course

but why do we have sex we haven't

not you and me

the human race the red queen theory

sex is a form of biological warfare

against the germs viruses parasites

we constantly mix our gene pools to

increase the veritability factor

right we keep changing so they won't

recognize us that's how we stay ahead of

them

like the red queen and alice through the

looking glass you got to keep running

faster and faster

just to stay in the same place but this

thing runs faster than anything we've

come up against

we can't outrun it on our own

we have to go outside our own gene pool

exactly

animals they haven't been affected

that's what we should be looking for our

antibodies

apes chimpanzees do we still have

representative animal samples of dna and

storage

yeah we need to find which animal has

the strongest antibodies

and can genotype itself to humans we'll

start with baboons and we'll work our

way down

it might work it'll work trust me

they shall be too late

it works it actually works

you ran all the tests yeah

data indicates a 73.3

likelihood that the zygotes can achieve

full

maturation would you like to do

a further analysis what if they have

souls

so much for the welcoming party

[Music]

there's something you can do lights

[Music]

same one yeah

yeah i saw wallace he's the man with the

notepad

i don't even want to hear about your

dream sleuthing okay i started dreaming

about that little girl

oh it's a start

not funny thanks they look almost human

three weeks development you can't tell a

pig from a rabbit from a human

i know that i just meant

never mind

six two weeks at this rate will be

months before we've harvested enough

blood

there won't be anyone left to inoculate

do not use the word harvest

maybe came back to work too soon

[Applause]

i think we should let them come to terms

hundreds of thousands of people are

dying every day

it's no longer just their problem our

inner cities are devastated

and you want to be a mother to a bunch

of freaks

you have a better suggestion

we were experimenting with a large-scale

accelerator

what acceleration development was banned

six years ago

by increasing the infusion of integrin

lincolnis and cancerous dna does the

general know about this

it's still only experimental but

with a little denial ingenuity it might

work well enough to bring these things

up to three or four months development

before genetic breakdown and

we can extract enough blood they

wouldn't survive the process

who wouldn't the babe the fetuses

at best they'd be badly deformed by the

process

they wouldn't survive the adulthood

anyway think about it

with a mixture of genes these things

have they couldn't possibly survive

how the hell would you know if they were

allowed to come to term naturally

we're talking about serum material here

not human life

i mean do you actually think we're

talking about the survival of the planet

not the vague possibility of creating

creatures for a comic book

they are living breathing we created

them

they are not even human they have no

more right to exist

then what who knows what nature intended

we all exist because of an accident of

some kind the point is they exist

now not unless we want them to

since when did you become god

our personal feelings have nothing to do

with this

they have everything to do with this i

wanted that baby john

so did i you wanted me to abort

i would love to get into our own little

soap opera here but millions of lives

were at stake

we're wasting time

you're right

if we access the percivis accelerator

we can speed these little devils right

on through to adulthood

but don't worry about a thing it's all

under control

emma well anna will do as i say

no no the honeymoon is over she threw

him out he sleeps in the lab now

what do you think of your wife now

she promised not to tell

loyalty should be a two-way street shut

the [ __ ] up you ran over your head man

she's the general's girl not yours now

they got what they want from you

you'll end up like your old man what do

you know about my father

what do you know about my father i'm not

much more than you

we know he was involved in a viral

engineering project based on

space-related prototypes

we don't know if he was in bed with the

general or not

at least allow me to reduce his pain no

we must learn everything we can

where do you think you're going

[Laughter]

running

[Music]

huh

we've been secretly recording the

general for several weeks now

ironic we finally have hard evidence and

there's hardly anyone left to care

anyway we caught him at his own game i

intercepted that transmission just a few

hours ago

i've sent a copy to percivis they've set

up a resistance unit

that bastard did kill my father we've

sealed the entrance to percivas a

commando team is ready to get the

vaccine out to a hidden lab

what do we have to do

this is mad hatter come in

state your purpose i don't do machines

or lunch

i'm real and i'm hungry who is this

i i don't have a code name well i'll

just have to call you alice

my name's robert where are you robert

i can't say put me through to somebody

with hair on his chest

i can't why not

i'm locked in a storeroom man oh man

it's not funny i'm hungry yeah so you

said

how old are you robert 21.

you have parents yeah

oh [ __ ]

robert find the welcome party

find me a map and get that acceleration

room warmed up for me

i got the cure in my hands

you're not going anywhere are you robert

i don't think that's very funny

you're a tough audience look

there's got to be a vent above you or

something go exploring

i'll get back to you

oh [ __ ]

robert i could cheer you some back up

here

out of the closet yet

you get the purse of his head and didn't

heal

[Music]

what if i just said i was sorry

your hero quest is over john i want the

ark

anna you don't have to have a spare

smoke do you

guess that means no

are you sure you wish to permanently

delete these files

i got the whole world in my hands

burn baby burn

loyalty she's got some nerve

no

no you set me up [ __ ]

no one betrays me

[ __ ]

[Music]

do

the white knight or mad hatter or

whatever the hell he's calling himself

is inside persibus

just another one of life's little

metaphors

she can be trusted she has already sent

us the coordinates and she will lead us

to the accelerator

lord if you can hear me

i swear if i live

i'll never get married again

bad hatter this is robert i tried to

lead through the vents like you said

but i don't know where i'm going

neither do i no one ever gave me the

tour of the dungeon

where exactly are you an event

somewhere over the main complex where

the [ __ ] is everyone

i don't know i can't hear or see

anything

get to the acceleration tank i don't

know where it is

besides i don't have clearance

it's in a sealed room off the security

compound

robert

i gotta greet the duchess

who's the dentist

[Music]

this has nothing to do with him

you betrayed me he betrayed us both

i've got to kill my father you're

pathetic john

he doesn't give a [ __ ] about you oh and

you do

yeah then give me the ark i can't do

that

then you made your choice john

i know you're out there i'll kill you if

i have to

you can't bring your father back john

and you won't find redemption in this

garbage

maybe it's not too late for counseling

wow

all right i'm in a poor man's version of

raiders of the lost ark

[Music]

that's great robert

robert i'm hanging in a drain pipe

i got the future of mankind hidden in my

crotch

it stinks like hell my wife is trying to

kill me

and i wish i wish i had a smoke

just take a chance put yourself in this

end state find a manual

read the little engine that could just

do it okay doctor neil

you can give me the code when you have a

minute

robert i'm heading towards the mother of

all smells

get in that room and get that

accelerator up and running

you're gonna wish the compactor had

crushed you

uh

just open the grate and see what's down

there

just a lot of empty space

what's that sound sir i just flushed my

foot down the toilet

call me john

all right look in both directions

what do you see just a couple of old

20th century computers

and some chairs good

you found it this can't be it it's a

storage room

not everything is what it seems robert

just get in that room and contact me

when you're in

good luck

[Music]

ugh

surprise do you mind if i flush

put the lid down first

can i turn around now

give me the ark

are all the king's horses and all the

king's men

will never allow you to perform again

okay careful

don't ever ever threaten a man

give me the ark john and i'll let you go

you can't win jon

[Music]

uh

oh

[Music]

[Applause]

no pickles not [ __ ]

[Music]

go ahead no

the compound is clean no virus that

remained localized in the food

i'm afraid sir

you should be faded what's left of the

world depends on what you do right now

that's not very encouraging sir well i'm

not trying to encourage you robert

i'm trying to scare you into doing what

needs to be done

about your sisters

robert do you have a pet rabbit why

would i have a pet rabbit sir

no reason just curious

get in there and call me back yes sir

owen robert sir

i made you a hero sandwich mad hatter up

is my chopper on standby

access granted

you are now

who the [ __ ] are you you are still in

possession of a weapon

please leave all weapons in the bin by

the door this is your final order

yeah well final warning this

i hope this is good news anna yes

i have them sir

[Music]

down

the seal on the ark is broken we only

have 52 minutes before the temperature

in the arc reaches a point where the

embryos will not survive

i'll send the chopper immediately don't

zap me

don't stop me please i am a nice guy

you are

the embryos will be brought to term

maybe it is safe

the acceleration electronic bouncer my

ass

i've outsmarted every bouncer in the

world let's see a deal with this pal

[Applause]

immediately

are you talking to me the process could

alter the genetic structure

not only would it render the embryos

useless your babies would die

and we still wouldn't have the serum

violent behavior immediately did you say

this is your final warning you haven't

seen violent behavior

ah he didn't tell you about all the

failures huh

he's convinced you had something to do

with his father's death

and you're going to trust the dreams of

a madman over me

[Music]

[ __ ] you and the horse you rolled in on

and a [ __ ] cavalry behind you

[ __ ]

he's not mad sir i'm disappointed in you

lieutenant

you only call me lieutenant when you're

angry

betrayed would be more accurate

yes john

is convinced i have avoided getting

involved in your personal affairs

but you've got to know something dr de

nil is an

unstable man

[Laughter]

he has a profound proclivity towards

delusions of grandeur

a messianic impulse and a profound

susceptibility towards paranoia when put

under severe stress

in a word he's a madman

a liability now i am sorry

that he has hurt you but you are a

soldier anna

you've got to suppress your pain clear

your head

you meet me at the rendezvous point

do i make myself clear if i understood

yes sir good

[Music]

hi honey it's my weekend with the kids

built to myself

this is getting way out of hand all i

asked was for your loyalty john

you know in the old days this would have

been settled without a

couple of good lawyers and a really bad

therapist

you could just walk away you're gonna

have to kill me

mad hatter are you there john come in

i'm here robert

i thought maybe uh i'd lost you

i'm not that easy to kill robert who's

trying to kill you

my wife why does your wife want to kill

you

you've never been married have you

robert

no but my parents were gotcha

you look older on camera robert

okay robert take two baby steps to your

left that should be enough

done good

now look down stop

[Music]

there

careful

this couldn't wait no i've never done

this before

[Music]

it's a gamble dr daniel i like to gamble

[ __ ]

security access

thanks i needed a night in tarnished

armor

you're running out of time not if i

find liquid nitrogen you use the ark to

create a bunch of freaks and kill the

rest of humanity

still smoking superior huh john how do

you know

they won't turn out to be smarter and

better than us

you are not the crowning glory of

evolution you'll use them as slaves

hysterical paranoid delusional

those embryo clones are my babies

what about me

hey yeah isn't the hero get a last wish

huh

got a light

[Music]

if these embryos are brought to full

term

and are as resistant to the virus as we

expect that they will be

we can extract the serum

and still keep them alive

oh my god

yes sir have my chopper ready

immediately mad hatter are you there

hatter are you there yeah

yeah i'm here i'm here

the pig embryos keep melting and the

cats just disintegrate

do their smiles remain robert

sir oh are you eating

yeah i'm eating robert

i'm eating our hair off family don't you

think eating will slow you down

no eating just saved my life robert

what should i do

wait for me i won't find me a smoke

i'll be there

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

it was

he took his vorpal sword in hand

beware the jabberwocky my son the jaws

that bite

the claws that catch this is lieutenant

pontane

come in john daniel is dead

i have the ark it's damaged i need

immediate support or the babies will die

i'm not going to the pickup point i must

find a lab to stem

the breach i'll notify you as to my

location

surprise

hi honey did you miss me

[Applause]

nice and easy out here

that's it

[Music]

that wasn't very nice first thing you do

on a visit

is to say how do you do shake hands

just like tweedledee tweedledum

now it's time for you to tattle

there that's better

you give me what it is that i want

or i'll be forced to crush you tweet my

hungry jaws

who are you just talking to just now my

little pretty

nobody nobody

i only wish i had such eyes

the king remarked in a fretful tone

to be able to see nobody it's as much as

i could do to see

anyone by this light you're [ __ ] nuts

i only wanted to save lives

i'll lead them into slaughter

we're dead already

go ahead make your day

they're gonna die unless i stem this

breach

the accelerator is ready we're gonna

generate a vaccine right from here

[Music]

i hear noises from down the hall

robert can i get back to you

things are kind of up in the air right

now

john give me your hand and i'll help you

i promise it's okay give me your hand

come on it's okay

come on i'll help you i promise

[Music]

give me your hand

now let me have the ark

you have to trust me

please trust me

trust me

[Music]

mad hatter mad hatter come in

yeah are you okay

yeah i'm okay

[Music]

my divorce just came through

[Music]

time

[Music]

get out

[Music]

my babies

the anti-proton heat shocks will enable

us to accelerate them quickly without

another test

no time

[Music]

estimating two hours

[Music]

the time has come the walrus said

to think of many things of shoes and

ships and ceiling wax

with cabbages and kings and whether pigs

have wings

it seems a shame to play such a

trick to have brought them out

so far and after such kindness

that would be a dismal thing to do a

touch of the absurd right up to the air

i have my ways and you have yours

you're infected with a virus just like

us

i don't think so oh so those children in

the nursery

were given cookies and milk and went to

sleep

and then dressed for halloween they had

cookies and milk

that too robert

i made you a hero sandwich sorry john

call me dr daniel

i hope you enjoyed yours johnny it was

your last

are the embryos ready ambrose yes sir

now if he moves

you shoot to kill i'm already a dead man

you're right

if he moves shoot the other one

are you willing to gamble on untested

civilian technology

your in vitros might not make it well if

we fail

at least we will have cleansed the world

of its filth

tell me something i don't have to tell

you anything

sure you do that guy always tells the

hero the truth before he kills him

shoot i wish i could

was my father an [ __ ] like you

johnny

your daddy was a fool

you know like you

he well

he just couldn't see the big picture

he he sacrificed himself

for the good of the team that's

that's what he wrote for public

consumption

but you know the truth is that sacrifice

destroyed all of

us because 30 years ago

we had simulated a virus based on the

spectral readings on the long-term

comment he destroyed all that

all of it

he decimated every single one of my

viral cylinders

and he erased every one of my computer

schematics

took me 30 long years for that comet to

return but it did return and when it did

i was able to capture it live

no johnny your daddy

was a pathetic little [ __ ] just like

i don't know what miami's on you to

begin with

i don't think anna would have

appreciated your betrayal

the lieutenant's sentimental desires are

of no consequences

you're late you were supposed to meet me

at the rendezvous point

and over your weapon

[Music]

well that's better thank you lieutenant

you betrayed me

[Music]

uh

i was so sure you were dead

[Music]

i hate not finishing when i begin

let them lift one please

[Music]

there was hope

and people dare to dream

well the illusion of it anyway

it's time

[Music]

is she sleeping yes darling she's

sleeping

the lady wanted her babies to live

i know honey what are you doing

trying to save the world and keep a

promise at the same time

i hope this works

estimating 48 hours

john

thanks sweetheart

dad i hope you're watching

[Music]

commander we found dr denil

are you okay no sure

i'm just waiting for obi-wan and my

father to appear

i'm doing okay for a dead man

in 48 hours you'll have your serum

[Music]

lastly she pictured to herself this same

little

sister of hers would in the aftertime be

herself a grown woman

and how she would keep through all her

riper years

the simple and loving heart of her

childhood and made their eyes bright and

eager with

many a strange tale perhaps even with a

dream of wonderland long ago

and how she would feel their simple

sorrows

and find a pleasure in all their simple

joys

remembering their own child life and the

happy summer days

[Music]

so you can watch

[Music]

appears

[Music]

it seems that you can't lose

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

in

[Music]

i'm getting tired

you know just

[Music]

is

[Music]

you
