How do you describe both a beginning and an end?

We should have known better, but we didn't.

What does it matter what we think we know?

In the end, there's no denying the truth.

And as the world faces the most serious food shortage in history,

perhaps there is a ray of hope.

I'm Buck Williams and I'm standing in a wheat field,

in the middle of the Israeli desert.

Dr. Rosenzweig, it looks like Iowa.

We've truly been blessed with a miracle.

One that you have created.

Now the biggest question remains: Who do you trust?

Every nation, every corporation wants your formula

especially in light of the recent crop failures.

No, no, no, Eden is not for sale. Not for money.

All I want is peace for Israel.

A peace that -

It looks like the Israeli air force never sleeps.

Those are not our planes.

Not from that direction.

Let's take cover.

Mr. Williams, please, this way.

What's going on?

There's a full scale air attack. No warning.

By who?

It could be anyone.

No one has more enemies who want to see her destroyed than Israel.

We can't get our planes up.

It's treachery. The radar is jammed. Technician problems.

They're over Jerusalem.

The Eden Project could have fed the whole world.

But now it's going to die with us.

Those planes are coming down, but we haven't fired a shot!

It's not possible.

They're jamming the monitors. It's a cruel trick!

There's only one way to find out.

No! Buck!

This is Buck Williams reporting live from Israel.

I am standing in the middle of an all-out attack.

The sun is gone.

Thousands of planes are soaring overhead.

Fire is raining from the sky.

This is just unbelievable.

This has got to be the biggest surprise attack since Pearl Harbour.

Get out of there, Buck.

I've been informed by top ranking military officials

that Israel has been unable to launch even a single plane in defence.

Buck would have filmed Hiroshima from ground zero if he'd been there.

Yeah. That's our Buck.

As I stand here, fighter planes are exploding in mid-air.

They're crashing and falling to the ground without any explanation.

And while no one can seem to give me any reason why this is happening,

I can tell you this.

This all-out unprecedented attempt to destroy Israel appears to be failing.

War will continue until the end.

Desolations have been decreed.

He will confirm a covenant with many for seven years.

♪

Correspondents from the Israeli army deny any

connection with the destruction of the planes.

However, inside sources reveal -

Hey, turn that up.

-the suspicion of-

Mom said to turn it down.

Do you always do as you're told?

Yeah. You should try it sometime.

-to GNN for the most reliable and up-to-date information.

I'm Buck Williams.

Mom, can you help me find my art book?

Sure. If you'll help me clean up a little and put up some more of these streamers.

No thanks. I'm never having kids.

Lucky them.

Nice touch wit the nose ring, Chloe.

Why not just shave your head and get it over with?

Very funny.

I thought that your flight didn't leave until midnight.

Well, they just called.

They want me on the New York-London.

But what about Raymie's birthday party?

He's fine. What Raymie wants is the knight's helmet

I promised him from Buckingham Palace. Right pal?

Right. Or a sword.

One of those long pointy sticks that they put heads on.

Hey, don't push it.

Where does he come up with this stuff?

Sunday school. Do you have to go now though?

If you want me to get that helmet I do.

Okay.

Hey. Hey. I'll be back in three days, all right?

Okay.

Okay?

All right.

See I told you, there is nothing wrong -

We talked about this.

Look, I don't have any control -

You knew that the party was today.

Over people that I work-

Yes you do. You can say no.

The door bell. Yeah, coming!

Hey, Reverend.

Hey, Ray. What's going on?

Come on in, Bruce.

Hey Bruce, how's it going?

What's up birthday boy?

Bruce, where's Genna?

The baby's sick -

Don't throw the ball in the house.

Hey, see you, Raymie.

Ok, bye Dad.

I haven't seen you in a while, Ray.

People still have to fly even on Sundays, Bruce. Excuse me.

Hey, what'd I say?

Ray -

See you in a couple of days, all right.

Okay.

I love you.

Yeah. Me too. Bye.

Bye.

Dad, where are you going?

You heard me tell your mother. I have to go to London. I have to work.

What about Raymie?

I can see that your bags are all packed and ready to go.

You know I have exams. I have to go.

And I have a flight. It's called a job. Welcome to the real world.

I suspect your mother has all those people coming over and I just can't listen to it.

They're not my favourite people either.

You know, but maybe we can show her some support.

Well what about her?

What about her accepting what the rest of us think?!

You know, she's on me too but at least I listen!

You know, sometimes I even pretend to take an interest!

It's not like she's hurting anybody.

I wouldn't say that.

You know, maybe you should try talking to her instead of running away all the time.

Good luck on your exams, sweetheart.

Have a safe flight, Dad.

♪

Mr. Williams. Hey, good to see you back.

Thanks.

Hello.

Buck, Dirk Burton.

I know who's behind those planes falling out of the sky.

Dirk, what are you talking about?

Not on an open line.

Meet me at the usual spot.

Hey.

The world's in danger, Buck.

All of us -

Whoa, whoa, Dirk. Just calm down.

Knock it down a couple thousand rpms.

What's the matter?

It's Cothran. I got the file.

He thought it was locked.

But I got it.

I got in!

What do you know about Rosenzweig?

Dirk, what are you talking about?!

Don't you see?

Chaim Rosenzweig - the formula.

See, it's so clear.

What is?

The attack - the attack.

The bombers exploding.

The fights, exploding.

You see, see, it's all fitting together now.

I see it.

Because they've been behind this whole thing from the very beginning.

The research grants, the trust funds.

And then there's the currency.

That's the next step.

You see, the dollar, the pound, the yen, the

Euro, they're going to make it all into one.

One! Don't you see, Buck? Don't you see?

It's always about the money isn't it?

What do you know about Rosenzweig?

Come on, he must have said something. Come on, come on.

Think, think, Buck! Think!

When is the last time you slept?

I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead.

Rosenzweig! Come on, Buck! Rosenzweig!

Look, he's a scientist. He's a UN delegate.

He's my friend.

Chaim is a good guy.

Well he might have all the world's best intentions in mind.

But not the guys behind him. Not them for sure!

Who?

Cothran and Stonagal.

Those guys are bankers.

What do they have to do with those planes in Israel?

Tracts of land.

The whole thing.

But they're going to go further.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, it's going to go on.

They're not finished, you know.

What's next, huh? What's next?

Who knows? It's going to be unimaginable.

Here it is. It's Stonagal's plan for the world.

Come on, Dirk. This is an old college essay.

Look at this - This -

What's that?

Everything from Cothran's computer and all the stuff I've been working on.

No, no, no, I can't give it to you.

I can't risk you being caught with it.

Caught by who?

The NSA, the CIA, the Mossad - I mean who knows how far this goes.

Dirk, Dirk, you're a nut and I love you.

I always have, I always will.

But come on, man.

If you've got something, then give it to me.

Or give it to Allan.

We will help you put this thing-

I, I need more time.

Don't worry, Buck. When I get all the pieces in place,

you'll blow Cothran and Stonagal out of the water.

Dirk -

Promise me you'll do it!

Listen, you bring me a story and you know I'll drive it down to the bone.

Get some sleep. Seriously.

Can I get you to sign this please -

Must have been a nightmare over there, huh?

I had to get the story.

Thanks.

What's he saying?

I don't know. It sounds like Hebrew.

No, I was there. I heard him. It was English.

Amazing you could hear anything with those explosions going off everywhere.

What used to be a Third World problem is now knocking on the door

of even the most prosperous nations.

How can we find peace when people are starving?

Oh! Father Theresa.

If we all listen to Carpathia we'd be one big happy family.

Scary - We'd be related.

Speaking of family, this just came over the wire.

Europe has just standardized their currency with Korea.

One step closer to a global currency.

Come on, darlin', I need you.

Ivy, see if you can get Dirk Burton on the phone for me.

Why, are we doing another story about area 51?

World peace it's been a dream ever since Cain looked sideways at Abel.

And thanks to your efforts, it can become a reality for all of us.

It has only been possible with your support, Mr. Stonagal.

Ah yes, but you have natural presence, Nicolae.

And you give us every confidence in your ability to lead the UN.

Thank you, sir. Your generosity is overwhelming.

It's called money. It gives us that luxury.

Your main concern, the one thing you have to

worry about is that one issue, world peace.

Yes. Of course.

In your opinion, will Dr. Rosenzweig accept our proposal?

It is an enormous decision for him. He's very close.

Maybe. This will help convince him.

This is incredible.

How did you - Mr. Stonagal, I'm not sure I have the authority to -

My friend, if you want events to mirror your desires, you create your own policy.

Based on your past successes, I'm sure you're right.

And Rosenzweig should know who he can trust.

So should you, Nicolae.

You know, I, I can see myself at your age and I can

see your deep concern for the global conscience.

If I can accomplish even half as much as you and Mr. Cothran -

You will. You will outdistance us.

We'll see to that.

I have a plane waiting for you.

Bring us back that olive branch. Good luck.

I don't like it, John.

Don't worry. People see him as a hero and we need a hero to move our plans along.

And who will deliver the Arabs?

Their children cry from hunger and yet they still chose war.

But I've rearranged some shipments.

When their children die of hunger, the Arabs will cry for peace.

It's all coming together perfectly.

Assuming of course that you've taken care of your security problems.

Dirk Burton. Used to be an info tacts ferret at the Pentagon

before he joined my Manhattan office.

Regrettably he's found it hard to give up his meddling ways.

Well, I'd say that Mr. Burton will have to

sacrifice his pension and his health benefits.

Check the damper.

Check.

This thing feels like it's still out of rig.

All right, let's resume 2-8-7.

You're a cutie.

Here you go. Somebody's getting sleepy.

Here would you like a pillow?

How's that? Okay?

You wake my passengers and you'll be serving them coffee.

Sorry. I'm a little anti-social this flight.

So, how's my favorite flight attendant?

It's okay, Buck. I can always tell when you're

working on a big story. You get that look.

Thank you again for making those phone calls. I got the job.

You did? Great! Congratulations.

It's going to be a big change.

Oh, you're gonna knock 'em dead.

I can't wait.

You know, the UN is no picnic. Especially right now.

And this is? I thought it was going to be a quiet night.

Ready for coffee, guys?

Oh absolutely. Black for me.

Ray?

Yeah, same for me. Thanks, Hattie.

So, what's this I hear about you leaving us?

What, are you going to take some time off?

I'm taking a job at the UN.

Tonight's my last flight.

Why? What, did you just want to change?

I just felt it was time to move on.

What?

Nothin'.

So when were you going to tell me about this?

One of us had to make a move.

And what is that supposed to mean?

I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of the looks, the flirting.

Waiting for you to give me a reason why I should stay.

Oh Hattie -

Honey-? Where are you?

Ma'am, is everything okay?

It's my husband. He's disappeared.

You know what? I bet he just slipped off to the restroom while you were asleep.

Would you mind checking please?

Okay. Sure.

And take this.

Ma'am?

I think he's gone off naked.

I'll be right back.

Honey? Have you seen the kids?

Where are they? Where are my kids?!

I can't find my kids. My kids! I can't find my kids!

It's okay sit down.

What's going on here?

Ray!

Boy, that was perfect timing huh?

Ray, people are missing! Dozens of seats empty!

Hattie, it's a big airplane. People are probably in the lav.

I'm telling you. They're not here! They're not anywhere!

Their shoes, their clothes, their glasses it's crazy it's all left behind.

The people are gone!

I'll be right back.

I'm not nuts, Ray! Go look for yourself!

They're gone! My babies!

They haven't gone far. Please, just take your seat.

Sit down. We'll find them.

Not me next! I'm not going next!

Hattie, try and her calmed down.

Where are they?

I've got to get out of here! I'm getting off this plane right now!

No-no-no!

No! The plane! I've got to get off!

Nobody is going to die. Just take it easy.

Just take it easy, okay?

You're going to be all right.

What's going on, Captain?

I don't know. Just take it easy.

Hi, Mom. It's me.

I just want to apologize for missing the party this after -

Oh no! Are you okay?

The driver there's there's no driver. There, there!

It's okay, sir. You're in shock.

Right over there.

My baby! No! No! NO!

What's going on?!

My baby! Did you see him?

He disappeared from his car seat!

His clothes are there! Please! Please somebody help me!

Please somebody! No! Somebody please -

Please, somebody help me! Please!

Hey, that's my car! Wait!

He stole my car -

Sit down. Everyone!

Listen to me. Listen, please! Please!

We are at 37,000 feet.

Nobody just walked off this airplane!

If I can get you to just take your seats,

we'll handle your problems one at a time.

Please! Hattie, come here. We have got to get these people back in their seats.

Start emergency procedures.

Ray, I'm scared. What happened?

Just do it. I need you to do this. Just do it! Heidi,

Heidi! Come over here.

Hattie, Hattie, I'll help.

Sit down! Everyone sit down! Help us please!

Come on, let these people do their job!

Passenger emergency. Oxygen mask.

Cabin pressure is fine.

Do it now.

But Ray-?

I said do it now!

Return to your seats! Put on your oxygen masks!

May Day. May Day. This is Pan Con Heavy 9-0-7. May Day.

Ray what is going on?

Concord 2-7-0-1. I assume you're missing passengers too.

That's affirmative, Concord. What's going on?

I don't know. But it's everywhere.

Say again?

LaGuardia, Orly, lost air traffic controllers, missing flight crews.

Planes down all over.

We're turning back.

Attention please. All flights have been cancelled until further notice.

You have to help me.

Your attention please.

The federal government has declared a national state of emergency.

Please remain calm and stand by.

Get away from that! Get away!

Come on, Dirk. Come on.

All circuits are busy. Please try again later.

Your attention please.

The federal government has declared a national state of emergency.

Black or white, rich and poor, both here and abroad.

The death of the president adds to the list of world leaders lost or missing.

Nicolae Carpathia.

The phenomenon unfortunately appears to be worldwide.

While nations deal with the chaos in their quarters

the UN has taken a leadership role in stabilizing the world.

At this time, we do not know how many have disappeared.

But what we do know now is that peace is imperative.

We must help our neighbours, forget our differences.

And we must do it now!

Where are you going?

They're telling me that if I go now I might be able to get out.

Stay with me please. I'm so scared.

I can't, Hattie. I have to go home!

Please, Ray.

Look, I'm sorry.

Ray, come on.

I, I'm really very sorry.

Hi. Ivy Gold. Leave a message.

Ivy, it's me. Listen.

I know the world is going nuts but if you're there I need your help.

I need you to find Dirk Burton. I've gotta talk to him.

I think he may be on to something.

Good luck and take care.

Captain! Captain, I've got to get to New York. It's an emergency!

I'm afraid everybody's got an emergency right now.

But you don't understand - If I get to New York, I can find some answers.

You don't understand how lucky we are to get to O'Hara.

All the other airports are shut down.

Come on, there's gotta be a way.

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really important.

All I care about right now is getting home to my family.

If you'll excuse me please -

Come on. Think. You've gotta know somebody who can help me out.

I guess I do owe you for saving my neck on the plane.

Yeah there is someone I know.

He's got a charter service. Come on!

Irene?! - Honey?! - Raymie?! - Irene?! -

Hi, Mom, it's me. I just want to apologize for missing the party this after -

Chloe?

Raymie? - Son? -

"In the beginning-" It's a little late for that.

Come on - Is anyone there? -

Excuse me - Excuse me, I need to get to the air -

Get back! Get back inside! Now!

All citizens are to remain in their homes. Curfew is in effect.

It's a baseball uniform.

Oh man. Cool.

Good luck, miss.

- orders given by military personnel.

This is for your own safety. If you need assistance,

please report to a emergency station.

Mom? Raymie? Mom? Raymie? - Dad? -

As we deal with our own crisis, we are very

grateful that the UN is doing more than they can

to find out who or what is responsible for this horrible act of evil.

How does this affect our food redistribution network?

Strangely enough, all of our operatives are still in place.

Unbelievable. The whole world turned upside down. I mean -

It's convenient, isn't it?

Joshua. Never wait for opportunity to knock.

Yank open the door and drag it screaming and kicking inside.

Hold it right there! Don't move!

Buck Williams! What are you doing in my house?

Hoping you're not going to brain me with that vase.

What's happening? My mother and brother -

You must be Chloe. I'm sorry I scared you.

My mom and Raymie are - I'm so scared for them.

I know.

I don't know if they're dead or lost. It's like a nightmare.

How's your dad?

He's passed out from exhaustion. He's upstairs.

Hey, it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

No, it's not. Listen, I've got to get to New York

if I'm going to find some answers.

Your dad told me about a man Ritz.

Ken Ritz. He's a private pilot.

Can you tell me how to find him?

I'll take you there.

No. No, I can't let you go outside. It's madness out there.

I'll go mad if I just sit here and do nothing. Let's go.

One thing if you find anything, you'll let me know.

I promise.

Sorry, folks, ■■■? You want to sweeten the pot a little bit huh?

I've got two thousand dollars.

The man in the blue shirt.

Three thousand dollars to Denver.

Sorry, folks, cash only.

Now bear in mind, all commercial airports are shut down tight until further notice.

Four thousand. Four thousand to Des Moines.

I've got diamonds.

Twenty-five thousand.

Forty-eight hours.

Twenty-five large.

Do I hear thirty anybody, huh? Anybody? Anybody? Done.

Hey, Chloe. How are you?

So can you vouch for this guy?

Well take a close look, Ken. He's Mr. GNN himself.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy that does the news updates during football games, right?

Yeah.

Nice hair. Well okay, Mister, you bought yourself a pilot.

We'll see you in the office, huh?

Come on, folks.

Don't forget your promise.

As soon as I find something. Thanks for the ride.

You're welcome. I hope you find some answers.

I hope you find your family.

Thanks.

Aliens. That's what I think.

I'm not talking little green men.

This is sophisticated, you know. Area 51 stuff.

Dematerialization.

Like Star Trek?

Come on, my theory is no wackier than some of the

stuff floatin' around out there alternate dimensions,

terrorist kidnappings, Nostradamus prophecies, come on.

A guy on the radio quoted a good one from the Bible.

You know the story about the two men standing in a field.

One gets taken, the other guy is just left standin' there.

I got two women standing in a kitchen.

One gets taken, the other one is left doing the dishes.

Yeah but what do all the missing people have in common?

All the kids are gone.

It's like the Pied Piper story. But explain the adults.

So maybe something made all children and adults, selected adults, a target.

What, you mean like easier to snatch?

Could be blood type, brain waves, DNA, who knows.

This is insane. People don't just disappear.

Yeah. The real question is have they gone for good or will they be sent back?

Or even worse, will more of us disappear?

And how do you hide from something like this?

Maybe the common factor isn't in those who were taken.

Maybe it's in those who were left behind.

Hey, news guy.

Yeah.

I have been going out of my mind driving

all over looking for you. Where did you go?!

I couldn't just sit there.

What if they were hiding somewhere!

I'm sorry.

I checked the hospitals and the police -

I'm sorry, baby.

Even our friends -

Maybe we should try the church.

Yeah, don't start.

Well if your mom was right, nobody will be there anyway.

Don't make fun of her. Not now.

I'm not making fun of her. But think about it.

Where did she spend most of her time?

Where was she the happiest?

She was happiest when you were home.

Chloe, the things that your mom believed in, the things that she talked about,

what if they were true?

I'm going home. Someone should be there when they come home.

Dirk? -

Dirk? -

Dirk -

Alan Thompkins? What did he send you?

Ah!

Oh Lord. Oh my. What a fraud I am.

Everybody bought it -

Except you.

I know your message! I knew your words!

I stood right here! I preached it! And I was good! But they're gone! They're gone-

and - oh but knowing and believing are two different things.

I'm living a lie. I'm living a lie.

Right.

Oh God! -

I am kneeling before you right now,

asking you - God forgive me of my sins.

I'm asking you - give me one more chance - Forgive me,

God - Use me.

Lord, please, just use me -

He already has - He already has.

Alan, are you still there? It's me. I need to know what Dirk Burton sent you.

Call me as soon as you can.

Hello, I'm Pastor Vernon Billings of the New Hope Village Church.

If you are watching this tape, you are no doubt confused.

Let me encourage you.

Your loves, your children, your friends and your acquaintances

have not been snatched away by some evil force or some invasion from outer space.

Agh!

Oh! I thought you disappeared.

I'll try not to. Come on.

What's going on?

Someone tried to kill me.

Was that before or after breakfast?

Listen. I got a lead on the vanishings.

It's shaky. It's insane.

But that's all I've got. Let's see what Dirk died for.

What the heck? How did Dirk get that?

What's up with this? These letters. D A N 7.

Some kind of code -

What is that?

I don't know, but let's find out.

It's a miracle. It all matches perfectly.

Never in my lifetime -

Oh - I'll never forget you for this.

Israel will never forget you.

All the years we've waited - Generations -

And you have made it possible.

Yes, my friend. Now we are ready - What-what-what's the matter?

It cannot be. We are surrounded by our enemies.

There have been all these disappearances, so much turmoil.

Your enemies will lay down their weapons when they have the formula, our formula.

We can do the same. You and I. We can achieve the impossible.

No question, it's a diagram of Solomon's Temple.

It used to stand on the holiest site in the Jewish faith.

The Jews have been trying to rebuild this temple ever since the Romans

destroyed it about 2,000 years ago.

One of the holiest sites in the Muslim faith.

The Dome of the Rock.

Apparently both the Jews and the Arabs feel that

this particular hunk of rock is pretty sacred.

It would cause a war if the Jews try to bulldoze it.

Oh -

Okay, ladies. Here's what we need.

Some sort of connection between the temple,

the tracts of land and the destroyed planes.

I don't know what it is, but somehow all this stuff ties together

with Stonagal and Cothran.

International bankers. They're always the same.

Follow the money, honey.

Chloe?- Sweetheart, I need to talk to you -

I know where Mom and Raymie are.

Where? Where are they?

They're in heaven with God.

Oh, don't.

Honey, please.

Remember when Mom started going to church, when grandma died?

Yes?

Remember what you said then?

Now you're just doing the same thing.

Aren't you just using God as a crutch?

Listen, I know what I said.

And I know that this is hard to take, especially coming from me.

And I don't blame you and I don't want you to take my word for it.

Pastor Billings left a tape.

Chloe, I want you to take a look at that tape.

It explains everything.

Do you remember when you told me that you used to listen to your mother

and pretend to be interested?

All I ask is that you do the same for me. Just think about it.

We have confirmed that the disappearances have been caused by accumulated radiation

from decades of nuclear weapons testing.

We have destroyed our own children with our lust for violence and warfare.

It has to stop now!

I am proposing the complete and total disarmament

and destruction of all nuclear weapons

by nations with nuclear capability.

Yeah. Finally somebody out there is making sense.

I am working closely with my dear friend, Dr. Chaim Rosenzweig.

He's agreed to give his full support for a UN peace initiative

and a program to see that every human mouth on earth has been fed.

That's a good man.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Right?

Hattie -

Hi. I want to check on you before I leave.

How's your family?

I still have my daughter Chloe.

But my wife and son -

I am so sorry.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to the UN.

The only place that offers any hope.

Unless I have a reason to stay.

Hattie, I have made -

Don't -

Please let -

Please don't do it to yourself.

We all make mistakes.

But it's not too late to start over. You know, fresh.

I know what you've been through would crush anyone.

I understand that.

No you don't. I'm a different person now -

I should have listened to Irene.

She tried to tell me. I wouldn't listen.

She was right.

If I'd have listened, I'd have known that everything that I need in my life,

everything I need to fulfill my life is right here.

It's right here with my family.

Do you understand?

What? All this time?

That's why I need I need you to forgive me. I need to ask your forgive -

What are you talking about?

I was wrong.

Ray, tell me that what we feel is wrong.

It's not about us. It's not. It's about something bigger. And something better.

I really thought you were stronger than that.

Hattie, please - Hattie - Wait, Hattie -

Is that why you never had time for us?

No, that's not it at all.

Then why don't you tell me what it is.

Honestly? I'm not sure if I know.

My career, maybe the mortgage.

Sometimes you just get so wrapped up in life that you -

well one day you wake up and then you realize that you missed it.

You missed all the important things in life.

Love is what we had, Chloe.

Your mother loved me and you more than I ever realized.

I hated her church stuff, the people that would come over. I resented her for that.

Not because I didn't understand it.

Because I didn't want her to need anything more than she needed me.

Mom had the answers.

All she wanted to do was share them with us.

She was willing to suffer through the jokes and the patronizing

and the coldness from me just to help us.

If I could just go back before all this happened,

if I could just, if I could just take the clock and turn it back -

Are you telling me -

- a few minutes, a day I would.

Are you telling me that they're dead?

That they're not coming back?

They're not coming back, baby -

Listen, your mother left us with the truth.

That there's something more. There's a greater love.

She found that.

And if she were here right now that's what she'd be telling you.

Are you sure this isn't just you feeling guilty because of your friend?

It's not about guilt. I can't I won't live without faith anymore. I won't.

Why? Because God will send you to hell? Your nice God?

You get hell on earth and then you get hell after.

Listen to me, sweetheart. It's not about hell either.

We were given a gift, Chloe.

We were given a gift, and we blew it. It's not His fault.

The ones that were believers are being spared from what's coming next.

What's coming?

It's going to get a lot worse.

What could be worse than this?

Hey Buck, we've got something here.

What?

The ten tracts of land. They all tie back to the UN.

As part of the disarmament and peace initiative. Pretty cool huh?

So they belong to the UN. Right.

That's why you guys get the big bucks.

Now what's that got to do with Stonagal?

There's more. There's an archaeological research foundation in Israel.

All underwritten by Stonagal's corporation.

Your buddies. Stonagal and Cothran.

Why is it these two guys keep coming up good guys?

Maybe they are.

Hello?

Hey, Buck.

Alan! Where are you?

I'm in Chicago. I'm going to the airport.

Chicago?

Yeah.

No.

What?

No. Stay right there. I'm on my way.

All right.

I'll call you from the plane.

Okay.

Here's some money. Fill 'er up.

That's good.

Good to see you. How are you, Alan?

Okay. Considering the circumstances.

So, you got any theories?

Officially it's radiation.

Unofficially, the agency is running scared from the top down.

Look, about this business at Dirk's place,

are you sure you didn't get a look at the guy who shot at you?

You gotta figure he was the guy who killed Dirk.

Man, he was so careful. I thought he'd outlast both of us.

What were you guys into?

That's what I was hoping you could tell me.

Look, this is all that I got from him.

So ah, is there anything on here about the air strikes in Israel?

No, it's financial stuff.

Stonagal and Cothran have been loaning billions to the UN for years

and they're getting ready to call the loans.

Call the loans?

Yeah.

What are they going to do, bankrupt the UN?

It's insane, right? I mean what are they going to get?

Ten useless tracts of land.

Yeah.

Wait! Rosenzweig's formula.

That's it! The UN! That means they've been using Carpathia like a puppet!

You mean it's, it's all about money?

Come on, you're going go to have to go now.

No, no, no.

Come on, let's go. You've had enough fun for one night.

That's what Dirk was so crazy about!

They're trying to control the world's food supply!

I've got to get to Chaim.

Hey, that's not gonna happen, pal.

Look, you let the agency handle it.

I'm going to get you to a safe house.

Listen, Chaim will listen to me.

No! Buck - I do not want to lose you too. Right?

It shouldn't take us too long to get to where we need to go.

Good.

Can you spare a dollar for an old grandma.

Ma'am, please.

Just give me a dollar. That's all. Just a dollar.

Come on, just a dollar is not going to break you.

Okay, okay, I've got some change - Here you are.

Oh thank you.

Alan!

I'm sorry to come here. But you're the only ones they don't know.

What happened?

My friends are dead.

Get inside.

I've got to get to the UN - to warn Chaim.

They're trying to control the world's food...

We've got to get him some help.

They set up an emergency centre at the New Hope Church.

We'll take you there.

So you're researching the disappearance of these people?

You say that you're interested in finding out what really happened to them?

Take a look at this. It might help.

You're watching this tape because millions of

people have disappeared, babies and children.

Still innocent in God's eyes and vanished.

There is much to fear. But not for those who are missing.

Because they placed their faith in Christ alone for salvation,

they have been taken to heaven by Jesus himself.

First Thessalonians tells us that the Lord

himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout,

with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God

and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds

to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

What's this? Some guy thinks the Bible has an explanation for the vanishings?

This doesn't sound convincing to you?

Oh come on, those Scriptures are so vague.

They could mean anything.

There's something else I should tell you.

Minister Billings vanished with the rest of them.

I helped to make this tape three years ago.

Three years ago. That's impossible.

How could he have known?

It's all in here. Including that. Ezekiel 38.

Those codes. They're Bible verses.

Thirty-eighth chapter of Ezekiel.

God promised to protect Israel against total

annihilation by her enemies from the north.

Miraculously.

It's all in there, exactly as you witnessed.

What about this one? These ten tracts of land are about to belong to John Stonagal.

What does your Bible say about that?

It's Daniel Seven. The rapture. The vanishings.

This marks the beginning of the rise of the anti-Christ.

He will control ten kingdoms which in turn will control the world.

Yeah but ten giant tracts of useless real estate

doesn't seem like much of a kingdom to me.

Unless they have the Eden formula?

What?

Stonagal. It's a plan to lock up the world's food supply. And this?

Second Thessalonians, two.

And the anti-Christ will sit in the temple of God

and he will declare to the whole world that he is God.

The temple of God - You're talking about Solomon's Temple on Jewish land aren't you?

That's right.

Whoever this anti-Christ guy is,

he's going to have one big war on his hands

if he tries to rebuild this temple any time soon.

Listen to what I'm saying to you.

Make no mistake about it. It's written in the scriptures.

He will rebuild the temple. I guarantee it.

But the Arabs are not just going to sit by and watch them build this thing.

They'll make peace with Israel.

Peace? In the Middle East?

Daniel nine, chapter twenty-seven.

And he will confirm a covenant with the many for seven years.

All right, listen.

I admit this stuff is compelling even scary. We can't just sit here.

All right, nothing is going to change if somebody doesn't do something.

Hold on. Wait! - Buck, where are you going? Buck?

No. I can't! All right, I've got to get to the UN and I've got to warn Chaim.

Wait a minute. How are you going to warn him?

You won't even know the truth.

The Bible says that if you don't put your faith in God, you will be deceived.

What, do you think your being here is an accident?

You know what I'm talking about.

You can feel it.

You can feel God tugging at your heart. Don't ignore him, Buck.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's official.

Nicolae Carpathia will be our new secretary-general.

We'll get you in the main auditorium in a few minutes

and Mr. Carpathia will make a statement

and then we'll have a couple of minutes for questions. Thank you very much.

Mr. Williams, the media room is this way.

No, I'm going to see Chaim Rosenzweig.

My orders are to make sure he's undisturbed.

I'll personally escort Mr. Williams.

I have my orders, Miss Durham.

You are aware I act on Mr. Carpathia's behalf.

Of course. My apologies, Mr. Williams. Miss Durham.

I owe it all to you, Buck.

Nicolae is a huge fan of yours.

When he saw your letter of reference, I was

asked to join his staff. He's a great man.

There's no question this is the right place to be, for both of us.

Ah Buck, I was hoping to see you here.

I can't think of anyone more perfect to tell the story

of this history making announcement.

I'm here to keep you from making a horrible mistake -

Please, sit down.

Make sure the announcement goes out worldwide.

Full media saturation. Repeated every 30 minutes.

Already in motion.

Do you see, Stonagal and Cothran have been lying to you.

Eden is part of their plan.

But I'm turning over my formula to a consortium of UN delegates.

It's our only hope now.

It doesn't matter.

Once they bankrupt the UN, Stonagal and Cothran

will own it all, the land and the formula.

They will control the entire world's food supply.

We must tell Carpathia.

Can this be true?

They've used our dreams against us, Nicolae.

It seems so unthinkable.

Once the story hits, the whole world will know the truth.

It's not that easy. These men were my mentors and my friends.

Sir, they're murderers!

Buck, you have no reason to lie.

Miss Durham - E-mail this to Mr. Williams' office.

Tell them it's from me.

Top priority. This information must be broadcast immediately.

Thank you, Mr. Carpathia.

Do not worry. You're under my protection now.

Excuse me, what's that?

Ah, this is a dream come true for all of Israel.

Plans to rebuild our temple.

The temple?

But, but the Muslims - They'll never allow this.

No, no, no, the true side of the original temple has been found.

It will stand next to their mosque. Perfect harmony.

It's a wonderful omen don't you think?

We will be set to break the ground.

Well, in light of all this, we move forward.

We announce the sharing of food with the world

and the building of this Jewish temple is a symbol.

Not just for Jews, but for every man and woman, for the whole of humanity.

This marks the beginning of our seven years of peace.

It can't be.

Now, despite your doubts, Buck, this is going to be a great day.

The stage is set, gentlemen. Let us change history.

Thank you for everything you've done.

Chaim, you want this built?

Yes, of course. This is the incentive for our leaders to sign the peace treaty.

Do you have any idea what this means?

I thought I did. Excuse me.

Are you all right?

Sweetheart, are you all right?

I just feel so helpless. I wish he'd call or something.

Well he has to find the truth on his own.

I know. I just wish there was something we could do.

We can ask God to help him find his way.

It's true.

All of it's true.

I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I just know I need you.

And I believe. Just show me what to do.

Mr. Williams. There you are. Are you okay?

Yes.

Come. We're about to go into this meeting before the big press conference

and I need you there when I confront Mr. Stonagal and Mr. Cothran.

You will see justice done today.

Don't worry. Karl, stay close to Mr. Williams.

Thank you for coming.

It's good to see you here.

Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the delay.

Please be seated.

Chaim, Mr. Williams, please join us.

Mr. Carpathia, we agreed there would be no media at this conference.

Mr. Williams will be joining our delegation as its own media liaison.

These changes should have been discussed beforehand with us.

Mr. Williams' journalistic credentials have always shown him to be a man

only interested in the truth.

That is what we are interested in here the truth. Don't you all agree?

We are about to turn this planet into a paradise

unimaginable only a few short weeks ago.

Ten oasis regions where each delegate is given

complete control over his respective area.

True global community, a true world with peace.

This marks the beginning of our seven years of peace, of seven years -

This marks the beginning of the rise of the anti-Christ.

He will control ten kingdoms which in turn will control the world.

The anti-Christ will sit in the temple of God

and he will declare to the whole world that he is God.

Upon each of you I grant all the power and authority due to your new positions.

You are now kings and queens in your own lands,

bringing prosperity and plenty to your people. All in my name.

Nicolae, what are you saying? We never agreed to this.

In the garden there was a serpent who tempted Eve,

leading to man's banishment from Paradise.

That serpent stood between us and paradise ever since.

What's this about, Carpathia?

It's about you two.

Serpents in my garden.

Using unity and prosperity for your own gain.

Nicolae, you know that's preposterous.

Do not lie to me.

So small, so easily manipulated.

Tell me, Jonathan, who is the puppet here?

Look where I am and look where you are.

Do you have any idea? Do you know who you're dealing with?!

Do you? I welcome all of you to join this great team.

Do you accept my invitation?

We made you, Nicolae! You're our creation!

I see - Donald M. Aterness?

Yes, sir, that's me.

Of Newark, New Jersey.

Why, yes sir.

May I call you Don.

Don, give me your sidearm.

So begins an object lesson in leadership.

Nicolae? Have you lost your mind? What are you doing?

Nicolae -?

Sit down, Chaim.

Look, we ah - we all want the same thing, right?

I'm sure you're right. Miss Durham, could you please step back.

I wouldn't want that suit to be soiled.

On your knees, Jonathan.

No. No, I will do no such thing!

Someone has to stop this!

Buck! We are on the same team, are we not?

Nicolae -

These people will know that I fear no one. That I fear nothing.

That I will succeed at anything I set my mind to.

Without the slightest hesitation or opposition.

From this day forward, no one can stand against me.

That's the kind of power you lusted for, Jonathan.

Don't worry. This will be completely painless.

After all, I am not a monster.

Nicolae, please -

I was so shocked when I saw Mr. Stonagal rush the guard,

take his gun and murder his dear friend, Mr. Cothran in cold blood.

Then to watch him turn the gun on himself. It seemed inconceivable.

But Jonathan was a troubled man, plagued by guilt, fear.

And when he heard Mr. Williams was about to expose him, he knew it was over.

He knew that his hideous and evil plan would come out and that his life, legacy,

everything he worked so long and hard for, would be ruined.

I know that you wanted to do that for Dirk and Alan.

But I could not have my new media liaison with blood on his hands.

I have big plans for you, Buck.

That story you sent to GNN about Stonagal and

Cothran should be airing right at this very moment.

The whole world will feel sympathy and love for me.

They will follow me wherever I lead them, because of you.

So thank you, Buck. Thank you -

I think we are all in agreement, two lives taken in tragedy all because of greed.

How terribly sad... How terribly sad.

Terribly sad.

Terribly sad.

Terribly sad.

Terribly sad.

It's time to change history.

Nobody move!

Jonathan - Jonathan -

Oh no! No!

Why?! Jonathan!

Ladies and gentlemen, get back please!

They're both dead.

Let's get the delegates out of her right now!

Ladies and gentlemen, please. Clear this room now!

This way please! Clear the room!

Are you okay?

Get back right now!

Chaim - Chaim - What did you see?

I saw Mr. Stonagal grab the gun from a guard's belt, shoot Mr. Cothran

and then he shouted something about wanting forgiveness.

And then he turned the gun on himself. It was so awful.

You saw it.

Chaim - Nicolae - What about Nicolae?

Oh, the poor man. He was so deceived. He was so heartbroken.

Imagine, his own best friends -

Buck? Buck, are you okay?

Hattie, this is unbelievable.

I know. It's horrible. So tragic.

When Stonagal grabbed that gun - oh -

Hattie - Hattie, you are in such -

I know privileged position.

I intend to do whatever I can to help Nicolae. He's a great man.

I have to go.

What is evident is the courage of Nicolae Carpathia in exposing this evil plan.

And yet the head of the UN continues to show no regard

for his own personal safety and yet has vowed to press forward

with his own peace initiatives and disarmament.

In a world sadly lacking in leadership,

Carpathia stands out as a beacon of hope for the lost.

Everything the Bible predicted is happening.

If this is true and the anti-Christ is coming to power,

then this is just the beginning.

The next seven years are going to be the worst that mankind has ever seen.

Our only hope is to join together and trust God.

I don't have all the answers, but for now, faith is enough.
