"It's the third time today." "Where's the epicenter?" "A hundred and twenty miles northwest of the fault." "The seismograph must be malfunctioning." "No, it was serviced last week." "Just keep an eye for me, Charlie." "Uh, and call me if it gets worse." "Where're you going?" "I've got someone I gotta take care of." "Sorry I'm late." "Shouldn't you plug that thing in or something?" "Hybrids are the way for the future, Jake." "Well, If we believed everything that you read we would all be living on the moon and driving flying suitcases by now, wouldn't we?" "It's all marketing, little brother." "You and dad have been telling me that one since birth." "Since I am the only one still on this side of reality," "I figure I owe it to the old man to keep you grounded." "Look, bro, it seems like the old family barbecue thing is a little stressful on you, so if you wanna just take a rain check this month it's not a problem." "I promised mom and dad we'd do this." "I'm not gonna let them down." "That is a lovely sentiment." "However, I don't really think that they can see us, so, you know, you can chill." "You do Chinese takeout." "I got some pizza pockets in the fridge right there." "Chill." "Yeah, that's always been easy for you." "Since you stood up to Tate, you've become a freaking legend." "Even in failure." "You're a success." "Well, you're the one with the big house and the weird car." "All I've got is my fat boy out there, a couple of sober memories with Monica, and my six pack." "My three pack right now." "About to be a two pack right now." "She resigned last month." "Said It was med leave." "But I don't think..." "Mm-mh, buh, buh..." "Let's not bring up the past." "I wanna do something on my own, you know." "Something memorable." "You'll get there." "I'm all show." "I wish mom and dad could see ya." "Little G Q scientist." "They'd be really proud of you." "You really think so?" "I know so." "Let me borrow 20 bucks." "What?" "What about 40 bucks?" "Jackass." "What the hell?" "My God, they're headed right for us." "Call it." "It's a real deal." "Black ten, black ten." "We've a security breach at S-4." "This is not a drill." "Priority one." "Priority one." "Move." "Move." "Move, move." "Take it up." "Okay." "I'm getting old." "Eight, eight, eight from the ranch." "Oh." "Pizza pockets for me." "Gotta go." "Lock up for me, will ya?" "Right." "Probably a bucket of nothing." "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" "Hostile." "Sir, target is hostile." "Target is hostile!" "Where the hell is Alex?" "Let's go." "Let's go." "C'mon." "Go, go go, go." "Go, go, go." "Ready, Captain." "Ready, Captain." "Ready." "Ready, Captain." "Ready, Captain." "You will be fired upon." "Hold your positions." "This Is your final warning." "Fire!" "Medic!" "This is Alpha One." "We have sustained major casualties." "I need immediate backup for my location." "Let's go, let's go." "Charlie!" "We have two unidentifieds crash-land near by." "One target is hostile." "They took out the chopper." "Hangar S-4 is under attack." "Medivac units are already..." "All right, calm down." "Call Tate." "Get Down here now." "Do it!" "Saddle up!" "Let's go!" "Where is my Medivac?" "My men are dying." "I need backup." "Where Is my Medlvac?" "I need help now I" "What happened here?" "Hands In the air!" "Put your hands In the air now I." "Pull back." "Everyone out, now!" "Argh!" "Ah!" "Welcome everyone to Eye Witness News." "The news source In the region." "The source for all of your news and entertainment." "There are reports of a disturbance in the wildlife refuge." "We take you live now to our correspondent standing by." "Sources from the Department of Natural Resources say the explosion within the military wildlife refuge Is nothing to worry about." "Plumes of black smoke can be seen as far as Jefferson County." "So far, park rangers are not saying what caused the explosion, but they are admitting there may be a few fatalities." "Alex." "God!" "What do you mean he's not available?" "This is Jake Townsend, his brother." "Then let me talk to Charlie Weise." "No, you can't take a message?" "What the hell is going on there?" "Hello?" "Fine." "Have it your way, then." "The public has the right to Information." "There are children around here." "You've gotta give us something." "Hands where I can see 'em I." "Jake." "Hey, Charlie." "You got my message." "You shouldn't be here." "Where's Alex?" "I can't answer that." "I don't really care about the operation anymore." "I just wanna know where my brother is, okay?" "I got a bad feeling about this." "You know I can't disclose classified information to a civilian." "Then let's pretend I'm still in the inside." "I can't do it." "I'm not going anywhere until somebody gives me some answers." "Don't put me in the position." "Cuff him." "Put him in the jeep." "You can't hold me down here without processing me with an attorney present." "Shut up, Townsend." "You've no rights here." "Not any more." "I got it." "Nice acting job, Brando." "Two unidentifieds crashed in the park this morning." "One confirmed hostile target." "Then all hell broke loose at hangar S-4." "S-4." "Yeah." "Sorry, uh, about the cuffs." "Alex took a team to S-4, and hasn't reported back in, yet." "It's big, Jake." "The pros are here." "Tate." "It'll all be covered up by dawn." "Right, right, right." "I gotta go." "For your brother." "Target one appears to be heading west towards the town of Mercury." "Satellite's lost the second target." "Assemble unlit to Intercept target one." "We'll pick 'em off one at a time." "I want them both In a box by sundown." "Yes, Sir." "All right, men, let's move it up." "Mercury." "Chop chop." "Hello, M r." "Townsend." "Where is my brother?" "How does that uniform feel?" "Familiar yet out of reach?" "You're not only trespassing, but impersonating a federal officer." "All I wanna now is where is Alex." "The official story?" "He's on extended vacation." "Fly fishing I think." "Come on, Tate." "Enough for the area 51 cover-up crap." "I think you've overhead too much as it is." "Take this man in hold and have him sedated." "The suits will want to debrief him." "This isn't the end of it." "Sure it is, Jake." "Get a jeep!" "Pull it over, buddy." "Oh, yeah!" "Oh-ho, ho-ho." "Thank you, Play Station." "Jake Townsend has escaped." "He's about to cross the perimeter." "Go find his ass, you pack of geniuses!" "Let's roll!" "Oh-oh." "Get out of the vehicle." "Put the weapon down." "What do you want?" "I need your help." "You speak English." "I speak many languages." "It is part of my training." "You've got a pretty bad Injury..." "It Is not important." "I need your help with something greater than I." "Why me?" "It seems that you are also in jeopardy." "Perhaps we could help each other." "Like what?" "I must find the Omega seed." "A large obelisk." "What do you need that for?" "At sundown tomorrow it will destroy the inhabitants of this planet unless it is deactivated with this." "The Ether rod." "Where you at S-4?" "Did you kill those guys?" "No." "There is another." "Another, another what?" "Another..." "My navigation system was destroyed by an Omega centurion named Kronnan whose sole mission Is to see that the Omega seed detonates." "Will you help me?" "I think I know somebody that can help us." "Get in." "Oh, Yeah." "I heard rumors of the Omega seed, but it was classified even for me." "Look, she might be able to help us out but it could take some time." "Tell her something." "We have little hope." "C'mon." "I don't believe it." "Monica." "My mother said you'd come crawling back eventually." "But you should've brought flowers." "I brought him." "Oh, my God." "We need your help." "Come in." "You're hurt." "It is nothing." "Let us help you." "Come on." "Men." "I require N H4O H." "Jake, hand me the ammonia." "In the cabinet." "Top shelf." "The Omega seed is like a thermometer." "It monitors the development of a planet until it is ripe." "Ripe for what?" "Harvesting." "The Omega race relies on artificial waste products from civilized planets." "Fossil fuels emissions, nuclear waste and alike." "Why they don't just ask for them?" "We'd be happy to get rid of it." "They do not negotiate." "They conquer." "That is enough." "So, what?" "The obelisk sends out a signal when the planet's ready and then they invade?" "The obelisk will send off a signal but it will also detonate, releasing a pathogen into the atmosphere." "Pathogen." "Anything that breaths will be dead in 36 hours." "How do we stop it?" "The Ether rod." "The Omega race designed them." "It's a safety switch to prevent a premature detonation." "We managed to obtain several of them." "However, this one fell into the hands of your race sixty years ago." "Crashes of '47." "As your planet was recently targeted by the Omega race," "I was sent to retrieve the Ether rod and deactivate the Omega seed." "But It was not until recently when the seed began to activate that I was able to determine the rod's true location." "What about all the interest in area 51?" "Well, the government obviously leaked stories towards Mexico to keep the enthusiasts away from the real deal here in Missouri." "Why don't you just use another Ether rod?" "Because each Omega seed has a specific Ether rod." "A key to a deadly lock." "This is the only one that can stop it." "But without my navigation system, I am blind." "I've heard about a "Mythigalian" structure discovered underground in the '30s." "The story goes the government covered up classifying lt, but I've no idea where it is." "The location of the seed is coded onto the Ether rod itself." "So, you can speak English, and you can fly a spaceship but you can't translate the Ether rod." "My hard drive has been disabled." "You might wanna think about night school." "Look, I brought him here because I thought you might help us decode the glyphs." "So, so now I'm your go-to girl?" "You wouldn't let me study it before it was put in a classified storage." "Then you vanished and I was stuck in a file room for two years." "No calls, no emails." "I was discharged." "What?" "I signed a release for you to have the Ether rod for study." "And Tate got a hold of it and freaked." "If I had talked to you about it, we'd both been court marshaled." "It was part of the agreement that you and I would never speak again." "You protected me." "Jake, I'm..." "I'm sorry." "There's nothing to be sorry for." "You have access to the Ether rod now." "Can you decipher it?" "Maybe." "It's gonna take some time." "You must hurry." "Alex is missing." "What?" "Zero contact." "I'm sure he's just gone deep." "You used to vanish too, remember?" "I don't know this time." "He'll turn up." "Time Is running short." "I've almost got it." "We've got another 18 hours." "Kronnan must have the location locked by now." "He is coming." "U h, not helping." "Just let her work, okay?" "So, uh, you got a name or..." "Jude." "I'm Jake." "So, where are you from?" "Far away." "You have family there?" "I had a mate." "Had?" "Killed by Kronnan." "Jude!" "Jude!" "Jude!" "Jude!" "What was her name?" "Quintana." "I'm sorry." "I lost my parents." "I am sorry." "I found it." "It's in Potosi." "Go, go, go." "Let's go." "Hands where I can see 'em." "No." "Nobody gets hurt." "Your weapon, sir." "Your weapon." "Jake, you're becoming quite a thorn." "Don't you know this thing Is dangerous?" "He's here to help, Tate." "Oh, please." "Humvee's ready, Sir." "Roger that." "We'll debrief there." "But I want our visitor here shackled now." "Remember these bad boys?" "Unbreakable, my friend." "What about the others?" "I'll take that." "Monica." "I told you she couldn't be controlled." "Screw you, Tate." "I know the truth." "She's got a bigger mouth than yours, Jake." "I know you're here to contain alien activity." "How many of these visitors have you exterminated?" "Does he seem like a girl scout to you?" "We're cleaners, Monica." "Mr. and Mrs. Muster sitting down on the prairie can't handle the truth." "They should thank me every day for keeping them safe in their towns of mediocre life." "So just shut your damn mouth, all right?" "All right, let's move it out." "Tate, I know how much you like to cover things up, but you have no idea how public this is gonna be." "We're talking global disaster." "Well, good luck with that, M r." "Conspiracy." "Does he look like a conspiracy to you?" "Who, E. T.?" "Trust me, he's going on a long vacation." "You can't shove the facts under the flag forever, Tate." "It's my job to interpret the facts, Jake, not yours." "Oh, really?" "Then what about Alex, huh?" "Where were the facts whenever Alex disappeared?" "You wanna know what happened to Alex?" "I'll tell you, Jake." "He's dead." "Evaporated in that hangar along with everyone else thanks to this thing." "Did you kill the men in the hangar?" "Did you kill my brother?" "Answer me!" "That's enough, Jake." "That's enough!" "Kronnan." "You need to leave now." "We need you." "Take It down I" "What the hell is that thing?" "My problem." "You have the Ether rod." "Yes." "Make sure he does not get it." "What about you?" "Let's go." "C'mon." "Not so fast, honey." "God, I hate fighting women." "You okay?" "Yeah." "You okay?" "Yeah." "It's changing." "It's missing a gem." "Maybe you shouldn't use the alien space rod as a night lighter." "Now I remember why we broke." "Argh!" "Wait, wait." "We're missing a gem." "It will not function without all six gems." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Get in." "C'mon, c'mon." "C'mon." "I must have missed hot-wiring 101." "Let's go back to my house." "No, we can jack one of the Humvees." "Sweet." "Left your trail for us to see you, Little Red Riding Hood." "And I, I am the big bad wolf." "The Omega seed is located in Potosi." "Fifty miles to the south." "What about this missing stone?" "The Ether rod Is useless without all six gems." "We must hurry." "Kronnan will attempt to stop us." "What is he?" "Part of him is what your technology has just begun to explore." "Quantum physics." "Nano machines, only refined far beyond your capabilities." "But there is the other side." "The side that most species I have seen share." "Even yours." "What's that?" "Biology." "Protected by a sentient exoskeleton." "He can be killed." "I've seen those weapons that you've got." "You don't have something that can take him out?" "This explosive device can level an entire building." "It Is useless against his armour." "Only the absence of his armour will open him to mortality." "My hydrochloric acid sphere affected him, but it is not permanent." "H is technology is simply too strong." "That's it." "We just gotta find the right can opener." "We have got to find the stone." "It's a classified location In Potosi." "I'm sending you the coordinates now." "I want my team assembled the moment I get there." "The missing gem Is closer." "Turn down that road." "Great." "A junkyard." "So what?" "We're just gonna wave the magic stick around until we hit pay dirt?" "Have some faith, Monica." "Right." "We must hurry." "N ice hang." "Keep an eye out if there's a couple of rabid Rottweilers around this place." "Uh, yeah, nice car dog." "Holy crap sticks." "Joe?" "Who's asking?" "I'm Jake Townsend." "We're from the base." "Yeah, well, he's not from the base." "No, no, he's not." "He's not, but he's here to help us." "Help us with what?" "Halloween?" "I don't need no help." "I didn't put up a sign or nothing." "Isn't that right, Sparky?" "Look, Joe, have you ever heard of something called the Omega seed?" "Omega." "Omega." "No." "Omega vitamins maybe." "My wife Ethel made me take them before she kicked five years ago." "Yeah." "Maybe she was the one who needed to take the vitamins." "She would nag me day In and day out..." "This is pointless." "Yeah, look, Joe, we're a little tight on time." "We're looking for the missing piece of a puzzle that could be lethal." "It's just a small gemstone about the size of a nickel." "And?" "And our friend is here to help." "We were just hoping that you could help us locate lt." "How do you know he's not lying?" "H is kind killed people back in the crashes of '47." "It was the Omega race, not us." "Well, you learned how to talk." "You ran off one of their ships before we shot you down." "We were protecting you." "The casualties were regrettable." "You call straight from the barracks friendly fire?" "You have few hours left." "How do I know we can trust you?" "Look, Joe, Joe." "He's here to help us." "The aliens had shot down our back." "We've gotta stop them." "Please." "Yeah, alright." "C'mon." "Captain Kirk stays outside." "H is kind shot down over a dozen planes." "Killed a lot of pilots." "Are you sure it was his species?" "Yes, damn it!" "Never question a man who owns a junkyard." "I'm In touch with the past, like a 1- 800 psychic." "Look, let's assume for the moment he's telling the truth and the casualties were accidental." "We've seen Kronnan." "The other one has killed dozens of people." "Jude has done nothing but help us." "Oh, you have no idea what he's capable of." "Believe me." "I have seen it first hand when I was a boy." "But that's why I spent my life on that base doing my father's work." "See?" "It's missing a gem." "Damn right it is." "So, you know where it is?" "Look, you don't wanna bring those gems together." "The thing lights up like a Christmas tree." "It emanates some kind of radiation." "We decided to remove one of the gems so we could figure out what It was." "Then I took it with me when I retired as a safety measure." "So you have it with you." "No." "I, uh, pawned it off to buy this place." "You what?" "Joe, the Ether rod can deactivate the Omega seed but it's no good without all six gems." "Well, maybe your friend outside is gonna use it as a triggering device to blow us all to smithereens." "Have you ever thought about that?" "How do you know you can trust this guy?" "Have you had him over to your house for Thanksgiving dinner?" "Did you find the gem?" "It ain't here." "Kronnan." "You have any weapons?" "Are you kidding?" "I may be smart but I'm still a redneck." "Here." "I think we're gonna need something with a little more kick." "Think this will do ya?" "I told ya." "Wait!" "No!" "No, no, no, no." "Guys?" "Guys!" "Get out of here." "Go!" "What about you?" "Just go." "Oh-oh." "No!" "You killed him." "Get in the vehicle." "No." "Get in the vehicle." "We have to go now." "Jake!" "Jake!" "Jake!" "No!" "Jake!" "Whoa." "Joe." "Get up." "He tried to kill me." "He took the gem." "I told you about him." "He's got your girl." "You've got to stop him from detonating the Omega seed." "How?" "I don't care how you do it, but at least get your girl back before the big kaboom." "We'd better ammo up inside." "Put the saw away if you understand me." "Put it away!" "You might be tough, but one of these in the face is gonna do some damage, so you gonna listen to me." "You understand?" "Good." "So, you're here to protect us?" "Stop the Omega seed?" "How can I trust you?" "I am a centurion." "I have pledged my life to protect this planet and the Omega seed." "The other, he is a rogue, a terrorist." "The rod he carries Is the switch that will detonate the seed and destroy us all." "What about those men and women you killed?" "It was they who attacked me." "Do you not have order on this planet?" "Are the rules not the same?" "I want heavy artillery ready within the hour." "Make sure everyone is loaded with explosive armour piercing rounds." "That'll slow his ass down." "Yes, Sir." "We're ready." "Establish a blackout as well." "I don't wanna see any other military faces here but ours." "Am I clear?" "Yes, Sir." "Move your ass, soldier!" "Sir." "Jake." "Open fire!" "Jake is with Kronnan." "They're gonna stop you." "No." "Please." "Please, please, please." "Take it." "You never told us the exact location, correct?" "No." "Take the Ether rod and go there." "I do not know where the Omega seed is." "Kronnan does." "It was his species that created it, not mine." "Then why is Kronnan chasing us?" "To get the Ether rod." "To prevent the shutdown." "Take it." "To deactivate the Omega seed you must slide the Ether rod into the terminating port." "I beg you." "Go and do it immediately." "How do I know it won't detonate it?" "If you do not trust me, wait until Kronnan reaches the Omega seed." "Then you will know the truth." "Please, go." "Time is running out." "I will delay Kronnan long enough for you to do what is necessary." "Please." "What are you doing?" "Go!" "She's on the path." "Hurry!" "Jude?" "Jude?" "Oh!" "Ow!" "Jake!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "Jude saved my life." "I can't believe I trusted Kronnan." "We have a job to do." "How much further?" "Just over the ridge." "What do we do when we get there?" "Jude said we have to connect this to the terminating port." "Whatever that means." "One port is the off switch." "The other detonates us all." "Great." "That's it?" "I don't know." "It's a little anticlimactic." "There it is." "Oh, my God." "Give me a hand here." "Going down?" "Going down." "Be careful." "Jake!" "Wow." "Wow." "It's okay." "It's some sort of air duct or something." "I think It's safe." "That's what you said when we went hand-gliding in Cabo." "Stop it." "The Omega seed." "It's supposed to reach all the way down to the Earth's core." "From the looks of it, we don't have much time." "Let's go." "This way." "Can I see it for a moment?" "Start looking for the terminating port." "What does it look like?" "No idea." "Oh, well, then this should be a piece of cake." "Wait a second." "The symbols." "Did you find a match?" "Maybe." "Ah!" "The Ether rod." "Where is it?" "The Ether rod." "Kronnan!" "Jake!" "Jude!" "No!" "This is the one." "Stop the seed." "Help." "Help me." "Wait." "Thank you." "C'mon." "C'mon." "Right over here." "Over here." "Hurry." "C'mon." "C'mon." "Give me your hand." "Give me your hand." "I'm sorry about Alex." "Thanks." "He was so, so proud of you." "Do you think so?" "Oh." "I, I know so." "I'm proud of you, too." "Yeah?" "Well, you didn't do so bad yourself." "Did you really throw a whole career for me?" "Would it matter if I didn't?" "No."
