"First discovered in 1956." "breeding inside drums of radioactive waste." "That's correct." "So papagena, thiobacillus, deinococcus." "Which of these three would most likely survive in the extreme environment of the Jupiter moon Callisto?" "And why?" "Tom, can you get the lights, please?" "That's your lab report question for this week, and it's due in my box by midnight on Friday." "That's all for today." "Thank you." "So." "Are you coming to the faculty conference tonight?" "To listen to the Dean's lecture about how the Universe is like a beautiful woman?" " I think I'll pass." " Come on." "It will be fun." "I could pick you up." "I can't." "I have to get back to my own extreme environment." "But thank you." " See you tomorrow." " Yep." "Go." "Go." "Jacob!" "Go!" "Go!" "Come on!" "Come on!" " Yes!" " Jacob, dinner." " You finished your homework?" " Yes." "You just killed me." "Good." "Now that you're dead, you can shut that off and come down for dinner." " Did you order pepperoni tonight?" " No." "Are these clean?" "Yeah." "You had pizza twice this week, so I made you a proper meal tonight." "With vegetables." "Vegetables?" "Eww." "Stop being such a stepmom." "Where did you get this?" "It was dad's." "Yeah, I know." "Where was it?" "I found it in the downstairs bathroom." "It's mine now." "Okay." "Okay." "Come on." "I said, please, shut that off." " You didn't say "please"." " Jacob." "Helen." " Hello?" " Helen Benson?" " Yes." " Dr. Helen Benson?" " You're at 106 Walnut Road?" " Who is this?" "Someone should be there shortly." "What do you mean someone's coming here?" " Who is this?" " Everything will be explained to you en route." "En route where?" "Hello?" "They should be there soon." "Yeah, they are at your door now." "Hold on a minute." "Dr. Benson, if you'll come with us." " What's happening?" " Everything will be explained, but you must come with us right away." " Am I under arrest?" " You're in federal custody." "Why?" " What is this about?" " Everything will be explained en route." " I have a child here" " Is there anyone who can look after the boy?" "No." " Can't his father take care of h" " No, his father isn't here." " I can take care of myself." " Jacob." "You can't take care of yourself." " And there's just no way" " You're coming with us, Dr. Benson." "Helen?" "Jacob, grab your coat." "You're gonna stay at Isabelle's." " It's gonna be okay." " Dr. Benson, there isn't much time." "Okay, we've got her." "Let's go." "Two stoplights down then left to the *** for the highway." "Do you see it?" "This must be a mistake." " Helen Benson." "Social security number 51487843?" " Yeah." " It's no mistake." " What is this about?" "Everything will be explained." " Stop the car." "Can you just stop the car, please?" " Ma'am." "I am not under arrest." "You can't do this." "This is a matter of national security." " You're just gonna have to" " National security?" "Well, that just means whatever you want it to mean." "I'm just asking you to tell me why I'm needed, or to let me go." "Ma'am, I can't tell you why you're needed because I don't know." " But I know they need you and I know it's urgent." " How do you know that?" "Where are all the cars?" " They shut down the highway." " They shut it down?" " For what?" " For us." "Hi." "I'm Yusef." "Helen." "Helen, do you have any idea why this is happening to us?" "No." "One thing we have in common." " What do you do for a living, Yusef?" " I'm a nuclear physicist." " I'm an astronomer." " Geologist." " I'm an astrobiologist." " Fossil record study?" " All right." "So we're all scientists." " No, not me." "I'm a civil engineer." "Put it all together." "What do you get?"

"Make your way directly across the court yard to the main barracks." " Helen." " Hi, Michael." " Been a long time." " Are you behind all this?" "Yes." "Glad you came." " I didn't have a choice." " Sorry about that." "I had you put on the vital list." "Thought it was important to have you as part of this team." " Why?" " I'm keeping up with the work that you've been doing with Professor Barnhardt." "What does that have to do with this?" "I'll have to *** in the conference room." "Object 07/493 was first spotted just beyond Jupiter's orbit by the Spaceguard Program." "It was notable for the fact that it was not moving in an asteroidal ellipse." "but rather it had a hyperbolic orbit and was shooting through our solar system." "The object - it's moving at speed still up to 3 times 10 of the 7th meter per second." "At first it was projected to pass millions of miles outside of Earth's orbit." "However, we soon discovered that the object was not following a gravitationally free fall trajectory." "As such  its path was recalculated." "IMMINENT COLLISION" "This time a crisis response team was activated and everything you see around you is set in motion." "IMPACT LOCATION MANHATTAN" "Couldn't we launch a missile to intercept it?" "The military is attempting to do just that." "In fact, they may launch several." "But given the speed at which this object is moving, our chances of success  are slim at best." "Then why don't we evacuate the area?" "We simply do not have enough time." "The affected area contains some 8 million inhabitants." "The best we can do is to plan for the aftermath." "How long do we have?" "Hey." "What did the cops want anyway?" "Well  there is gonna be a big storm tonight." "And they needed some scientists to help out." "You know..." "Planning stuff." "So..." "Pretty soon you're all gonna go down to the basement, okay?" " I already told Isabelle." " I haven't seen anything on TV" "Jacob, just... just do it, all right?" " All right." "I should go." " Wait." "Could we talk just a little bit longer?" "We're having dinner and I really should go." " You know I love you very much." " Okay." "Bye, Helen." "Is that a cell phone?" "Can I borrow it?" "What are the odds of an asteroid making impact in Manhattan?" "Astronomical." "Plus there is no light signature." "Then it can't be an asteroid." " A primordial black hole perhaps." " What?" "Do you know what that would mean?" "Look, whatever it is, if this object is moving at 3 times 10 to the 7th meters per second, there will be no aftermath." "If they can't stop it before it hits, there will be nothing left but dust." "It will destroy the Earth." "This is all theater." " They say we lost launch capabilities." " What?" "!" " What's that mean?" " The missiles are disabled." " Disabled by what?" " We don't know." "But they're gonna restart it, right?" "There's a fallback." "They have to launch." "Object impact in 7." "6." "5." "4." "3." "2." "1." " Where is it?" " Did they make a mistake?" "Wait." "Roger that." "They say the object's still in its approach." "Well, then where is it?" " Slowing down." " Slowing down?" "I see it." "The radiation level is slightly elevated." "But it's not dangerous." " I'm getting a lot of electrostatic interference." " Me too." "Did you feel that?" "Feel what?" "I feel it." "It's close." "*** 06." "Who has tactical plan?" "State district 4917." "I need to know who has jurisdiction on this site." "What the hell is that there?" "Should we engage?" "Cease fire!" "All stations cease fire!" "Cease fire!" "Don't shoot!" "Do not shoot!" "We need a medic." "Get a DNA swab." "A DNA swab now!" "What's the O2 stat?" "Give me an O2 stat." "Go!" "No one else!" " What are we supposed to do now?" " Here!" " Should we start an IV?" " No, no, no." "We don't know his physiology." " For all we know, the fluids might kill it." " What do I do then?" " What do I do?" " Its blood is red." "It must have hemoglobin." " She is right." "Start the drip." " Okay." "I can't find a vein." " It doesn't have any veins." " Look for a central line site then." "It's going into a cardiac arrest." " ***?" " Yeah. *** Now Go!" "Go!" "Clear!" " *** short out." " Heart rate is stabilizing." "It's stabilizing." "What now?" "Do you have a surgeon?" "Normally, for a gunshot we'd be using a general anesthetic." "But as we don't know how the patient will react," "I have opted for a local." "I'm making the first incision now." "No explosions." "So far so good." "Pale flesh." "The texture..." "***" "***" "Whale blubber." "I'm taking a specimen now." "Let's pack that on ice and chopper to the geonomics lab for DNA mapping." "I'd like a sample of that as well." "I am entering the wound." "And..." "Oh, my god." "What is this?" "I'm sorry." "I'm a little taken aback." " What's wrong?" " Nothing is wrong." "That's the thing." "It's all so familiar." "The outer layer of the flesh is exotic." "It's strange, but it's like deeper it's muscle, vein, nerve, bone." "I'm extracting the bullet." "This gray flesh." "It seems to be just falling away." "It's... it's removing itself." "I think I need to keep extracting it." "Yes." "Continue." "Can you explain any of this?" "It's dreaming." "Any signs of neural activity?" "It lit up the FMRI like Times Square." "Get help." "Code White." "Subject is conscious." "Help!" "It's looking at you, so try saying something to it." "My name is Dr. Helen Benson." "We are trying to help you." "You have nothing to fear from us." "Help you." "Nothing to fear." "Global markets are panicked in early trading this morning in response to the crisis in Central Park." "Trading has been halted on the New Your Stock Exchange, the Nikkei and the Hang-Seng as Manhattan prepares for a massive evacuation." "In other cities around the world people are voluntarily evacuating population centers, fearing that the sphere in Central Park may be the vanguard of an impending alien attack." "The President and the Vice President have been taken to separate and secure locations." "Until this situation has some kind of resolve, I am the eyes and ears of the presidency." "So, what do we know?" "Madam Secretary, we lost contact with one of our DSCS3 listening satellites orbiting Earth." "What is that image?" "You're saying that sphere in Central Park isn't the only one?" "In fact, we have intelligence that said small spheres have landed at other locations around the world." " Different sizes." " General, where exactly are these spheres right now?" "I think we're asking the wrong questions." "What questions should we be asking?" " Well, let's start with this: where is our satellite?" " We lost contact with it." "In the scheme of things, the loss of one satellite isn't necessarily" "DSCS3 stands for Defense Systems Communication Satellite." "Remember what it communicates with?" "They were able to access our defense mainframe via that satellite." "That's how they temporarily shut down our missile defenses and entered our air space." " We have changed all the codes." " And on top of that there is a vast amount of vital intelligence on that mainframe." "They know everything about us now." "While we know nothing about them." "Almost nothing." "The fact that they chose to disable our defenses tells us something about their intentions." "Madam Secretary, we brought in several specialists to analyze the tissue samples we harvested from the being." "This is our chief geneticist, Dr. Hideo Hicovaga." "This is our chief astrobiologist, Dr. Helen Benson." "Hello." "Doctor." "The being is in a nascent state." "The DNA samples we've taken seem to represent three distinct life forms." "Three different DNA types?" "Yes, including the being's brain." "The body tissue is human, as far as we can tell." "The gray flesh encasing it is organic material." "Some kind of bio-engineered space suit." "What it resembles hardly enough is placental tissue." "Which makes sense given the placenta is a life-support system." "and that basically in order to survive in our environment the being had to be born here." "In its human form." "They must have come here in the past and obtained the DNA sample from a human subject." "Now, since that birth the being's growned exponentially." "This is one hour after surgery." "This is three hours." "Six hours." "How much can you tell us about it by decoding its DNA?" "You don't understand." "These are the Dead Sea Scrolls." "Geneticists are gonna be studying this code for generations." "No, they aren't." "This code is the property of the US government." "Its very existence is classified." "I wanna see it." "Water." "Bring him up." "Does it actually speak our language or does it just parrot what it's heard?" "No." "It seems to already understand our language." "They compromised our satellites." "They know everything about us." "Mr. Driscoll." "My name is Regina Jackson." "I'm the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America." "This body will take some getting used to." "I've been sent here to determine who or what you represent and what your intentions are." "It feels unreal to me." "Alien." "It'll take time to adapt." "What were you before you were human?" "Different." "Different how?" "It would only frighten you." "Do you have a name?" "Klaatu." "Do you represent a civilization?" "I represent a group of civilizations." "Where is this group of civilizations?" "All around you." " What is your purpose in coming here?" " There is a gathering of world leaders not far from here." "I will explain my purpose to them." "I'm afraid that's not possible." "Perhaps you should explain yourself to me instead." " Do you speak for the entire human race?" " I speak for the President of the United States." "Now please, tell me." "Why have you come to our planet?" "Your planet?" "Yes." "This is our planet." "No." "It is not." "We decided to sedate him and move him to a more secure location." " Are you going to interrogate him?" " That's a possibility." "Madam Secretary, as scientists we can't consent to this." "He says he wants to speak to the UN." "History has lessons to teach us about first encounters between civilizations." "As a rule, the less advanced civilization is either exterminated or enslaved." "I'm thinking of Pizzaro and the Incas." "Columbus and the Native Americans." "The list goes on." "Unfortunately, in this case the less advanced civilization is us." "This is a representative of an extraterrestrial civilization." "This is the most important discovery in the history of mankind." "It may well be the last discovery in the history of mankind." "We need to know what they're planning." "And we need to know now." "So you wanna drug him?" "Interrogate him?" "I'm sorry we won't do that." "Do you understand?" "I understand it completely." "Of course, if you won't do it, we'll have to call in someone who will." " Well, I'm sure you can find someone who will" " I'll do it." "Helen." "I'll do it." "H2O SALINE SOLUTION" "That won't be necessary, doctor." "We already prepared the solution for you." "I just need a syringe." "I wanna apologize to you." "Seems we got off to a bad start." "It seems we did." "We are going to transport you to a different facility." "With better medical care." "No, you are not." " Excuse me?" " I am leaving." "This is a military installation." "You are surrounded by hundreds of soldiers." "There's no leaving here." "I have done nothing wrong." "You invaded our air space." "That automaton that emerged from the sphere." "It attacked our troops." "It acted to defend me." "It activates in the presence of violence." "Dr. Benson, please." "Run." "It's done." "You'll come with us, ma'am." "Keep moving." "I'm going to ask you a series of control questions." "Are you currently in a seated position?" "Yes." "Are you human?" "My body is." "Do you feel pain?" "My body does." "Are you aware of an impending attack on planet Earth?" "You should let me go." "I'll repeat the question." "What gate did you use to enter this base?" " East loading door." " How do I get there?" " 100 yards left from the back of this building." " Is there a security code?" "44B30." "What size is that suit?" "42 long." "Take it off." "I'm leaving you now." "No." "Put every arm of the government - military, law enforcement - federal, state and local on high alert." " If the media gets word of" " Use a cover story." "We can't risk a panic." "Call him an escaped convict." "Use every surveillance satellite." "Every drone aircraft." "Every freeway camera." "Use every resource we've got." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "TUNA SALAD" "Don't push me." " Just give me that ticket." " I'm not giving you anything." "Give me the ticket." "What's the matter with you?" "Call an ambulance." "Leaders around the world criticize the US response to the arrival of the spheres." "Reactions from national and international religious communities have been varied." "While some of them respond in cold and measured optimism, most religious communities have considered recent events to be apocalyptic." "There are gatherings and rituals in virtually every major city." "Many see the arrival of the Central Park sphere as a sign of Evil or perhaps even the end of the world." "Leaders around the world are protesting the US's decision to deny foreign scientists full access to the being." " Have you done your homework?" " School's cancelled on account of the aliens." " They say it's an invasion." " Well, they are wrong." " What makes you so sure?" " I just know." "Don't get that!" " Jacob!" " Hallo?" "Can I speak to Dr. Helen Benson, please?" "It's for you." " Hallo?" " Dr. Helen Benson?" "Yes." "I'm calling from the Newark train station." "We've got your patient here." "I'm sorry." "I think there's been a mistake." "I'm not that kind of a doctor." "Hold on a second." "He says you got his medication." "I'll be right there." "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "I'm sorry." "Somebody called me." "My name is Dr. Benson." "Good." "He's over there." "He's your problem now." "Go ahead." "Take him." "You know I took a huge risk back at the hospital." "Did I make a mistake?" " Are you a friend to us?" " I am a friend to the Earth." " Hello." " Hi." "Okay." " Now what?" " Drive." "Look in your pocket." "Your inside pocket." "Turn left." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, sir." " All right, everybody!" "We got our mission." " All right." "Target acquired and confirmed, sir." " We're locked on." " Madam Secretary." "They are sending in the drones." "Bring in the reapers." "We have a go." "Roger that." "Ascending to 12.000."

" Get outta there!" " Control, ***." " Negative." "I lost link." "I've lost control." "Whose in control of the aircraft then?" "I am out of control." "Anyone got any other ideas?" "Why are people running?" "They should stay and fight." "They didn't come here to hurt us." "Well, we should kill them anyway." "Just to make sure." " Don't say that." " That's what dad would have done." " I think he would have looked for a different way." " He would have fought." " I'd like to think I knew him pretty well." " I knew him, too." "Longer than you." "What do you think?" " Of what?" " Should people run?" "Or should we stay and fight?" " Neither." " What should we do then?" "There is nothing you can do." "This is it." "Pull in here." "McDonald's?" "Where are you going?" " Jacob, where are you going?" " To the bathroom." "Where is the boy's father?" " He's dead." " How did he die?" "He was in the Army." "So the boy wishes his soldier father were here to rescue the world from the aliens." "The boy wishes his father were here for a lot of reasons." "Aliens being the least of them." "He wasn't even that kind of a soldier." "He was an engineer." "He went over there to build." "Not to fight." "And his mother?" "She died when he was a baby." "I married his father." "A year ago he was killed." "Why did you come here?" "From what?" "He's here." "Here is your tea, old man." "Thanks." " Are you one of them?" " One of who?" "Never mind." "Sorry." "You didn't contact us for a long time." "I have a secret mission." "It is enemy territory." "I understand." "I guess they can come to an agreement." "I am afraid they are unreasonable race." "I've been living here for 70 years." "I know them well." "And?" "Every try to explain it to them was a failure." "They ruin everything." "And that shall never change." "Is it your official point?" "The trouble is they know their destiny." "They can feel it." "And can do nothing about it." "That's decided." "I'll begin the process ASAP." "We need to prepare to leave." "I am staying." "You can't stay here." "I can and I will." " If you stay, you'll die." " I know." "This is my home now." " You yourself called them a destructive race." " That's true." "But still." "There is another side." "You see, I love them." "This is a very strange thing." "I can't find a way to explain it to you." "For many years I..." "I cursed my luck for being sent here." "Human life is difficult." "But if this life is coming to an end..." "I consider myself lucky." "To have lived it." "No sudden movements." "No aggressive actions." "No matter what happens, no gunfire." "Truck is in place, sir." "Container panels are in position." "We are ready on your order." "On my command." "Move your panels into place." "Three." "Two."

"Scooch over." "He's work friend." "What's his name?" " Klaatu." " Klaatu?" "What kind of name is that?" "It's foreign." "I think." " I never heard you talk about him before." " I haven't known him for very long." "We're just giving him a ride." "Where?" " Here?" " The forest?" "Stay here. *** lock the door, okay?" "And don't open it for anyone but me." "I'm serious." "Helen." "What's going on?" "We're getting images of these spheres from all over the world." " Ocavango." "Gobi." "Baku." " Which of our agencies gathered this intel?" "None of them." "We pulled these off the Internet." "Is that... them?" "No." "It's us." "Those are ordinary cephalopods." "Squid." "Octopus." "I don't like him." "He's weird and why are we driving him around anyway?" "It's complicated." "Is he coming home with us?" " No." "No." " Well, what if you decide to like him and he wants to move in?" "No, it's not like that." "God, no." "Listen to me." " No one is moving in." "You don't understand." " Whatever." "You wait for him." "I'm going home." "Jacob." "Jacob." "Jacob!" "What is the matter with you?" "These spheres now appear to be leaving in the same manner as they came." "Now the only sphere that doesn't appear to be leaving is the giant sphere in Central Park." "You think we scared them off?" "They are not afraid of us." " I need to get back to the city." " Not until you tell me what's going on." " Did you do that?" " Yes." "Jacob." "Get in the car." " He's one of them." " Please get in the car." "Get in the car." " I need to know what's happening." " This planet is dying." " The human race is killing it." " So you've come here to help us?" "No, I didn't." " You said you came to save us." " I said I came to save the Earth." "You came to save the Earth." "From us." " You came to save the Earth from us." " We can't risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species." " What are you saying?" " If the Earth dies, you die." "If you die, the Earth survives." "There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life" " You can't do this." " This one can't be allowed to perish." "We can change." "We could still turn things around." "We've watched, we've waited and hoped that you would change." " Please." " It's reached the tipping point." "We have to act." " Please." " We'll undo the damage you've done and give the Earth a chance to begin again." "Don't do this." "Please." "We could change." "We could change." "The decision is made." "The process has begun." "Oh, God." "It won't make any difference, Helen." "Even if they arrest me." "Even if they kill me." "The process will continue." "Both of you, hands on the car!" "Right now!"

"But you saved him." " He was an obstacle but I meant him no harm." " You could stop this, couldn't you?" "If you wanted to." " I tried to reason with you." " I tried to speak with your leaders." " Those aren't our leaders." "If you wanna speak to one of our leaders, I'll take you to one." "Let me take you." "Get in the car." "Maybe they are just collecting specimens from our planet." "It's not our planet." "That's what he said to me in the hospital." "An ark." " Excuse me?" " It's an ark." "So are all the other spheres." "They are saving as many species as they can."

" Down here!" " What are you doing?" " Down here!" " What are you doing?" " I'm trying to help them." "That's why I called them." " What?" " I told them where we are." " Jacob, you didn't!" " You shouldn't be helping him." " Jacob." " I'm trying to help us." " Let's just kill him." "That's what dad would have done." " You fight me on everything." "On everything." " If my dad were here" "But he isn't here." "He's gone." "Jacob." " We got a visual on the male." " Yeah, I see him." "Yeah, got it." "Target acquired." "Permission to engage." "We're clear to engage." "We have a go to take out the target." "Roger that." "Please don't hurt me." "Thanks." "I don't know where we are." "Can you help me get home?" "This way." " He's come here to exterminate us, hasn't he?" " You can't stop him." "The only chance we have is if he changes his mind." " You have to let me talk to him." " What makes you think he'll listen to you?" "I don't know that he will." "But I think he trusts me." "And I don't think he wants to do this." " We have the situation under control." " Madam Secretary." "General Quinn needs to see you in the briefing room." "He says it's urgent." "You're not in control." "You don't know what he's capable of." "But she didn't do anything wrong." "So they should let her go, right?" "You are afraid you're going to be left alone." "I already am alone." "Helen just someone that was stuck with me when my dad died, you know." "I forgot." "You're an alien." "You don't understand anything." "We're good to go." "Hold it." "Your sleeve." "Let me out." "***" " No." " Open the door!" " But we have to flash." "Our protocol" " I decide what protocol is." "Open the door!" "Let me out!" " Let me out!" " Reset the drill." "Open it!" "I said reset the drill." "Let me out!" "Let me out!" "Open the door!" "Let me out!" "Sir, the restrains!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "This facility has been sealed." "No one leaves." "We've lost contact with the flash chamber, sir." "***" " Were there any survivors?" " No." "As you know at 0523 hours our powers launched Sidewinder air-air missiles into the heart of the mass." " And?" " Every strike made it larger." "And this mass." "Where is it heading?" "Everywhere." " Dr. Benson." " Madam Secretary, please." "I don't wanna die here in this room without seeing my son one more time." "Do you really think you can persuade him?" "I think you should let me try." "Go on then." "But I make you no promises." "I still answer to the President." " You're on your own." " No, she's not." "I'll go with you." "It doesn't work." "Go ahead." "It's me." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "He's right here." "She wants to talk to you." "Yes." "I need to get back to the city." " Yes." " Tell her I know where we can meet her." "I told Helen we should kill you." "Yes, I heard that." "I didn't mean it, though." "You didn't?" "Well, not anymore." "So what's gonna happen to us?" "I was just wondering the same thing." " The end of the world!" " Good luck." "This is it." "This is where we're supposed to meet her." "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "It's this way." "You can do this." "Just like with the trooper." " There are some things I can't do." " But you have powers." "I'm sorry." "Please." "Please." "Jacob." "Nothing ever truly dies." "The Universe wastes nothing." "Everything is simply transformed." "Just leave me alone." " It's not fair." " No." "No, it isn't fair." "He left me alone." "Oh, baby." "You're not alone." "And he didn't leave you." "I see him in you." "All the time." "All the time." "Sometimes it's hard for me to bear." "Do you miss him, too?" "So much." " I'm sorry." " I'm sorry." "It's all right." "He's here to help." "There's another side to you." "I feel it now." "Is that how it ends?" "Yes." "You can't stop it?" "I don't know." " ***." "To you and your way of life." " But we can change." "You know that now." "Please." "Please." "Just give us a chance." "I'll try." "I must get back to the city." "Of course, Mr. President." "I understand the situation." "But with all due respect, sir, any further military action will only make things worse." "I believe we may still be able to open a dialog." "Yes, Mr. President." "As you wish, sir." "Thank you." " Checkpoint." " We can't stop." "There isn't time." "Stop!" "Lincoln Bravo One to Lincoln Bravo Two." "***" "Roger that, Bravo One." "Bravo One." "We've got orders to let them through." "Do you copy?" "Roger that." "They're slowing down." "Letting us through." "Why?" "Where is everybody?" "They've cleared the area." " Stop the car." " What?" "Stop the car!" "Jacob." " Jacob!" " I'm okay." "Michael?" "Michael." "We have to get to the sphere." "Helen!" "We won't make it." "We can't keep them out for long." "Mom." "What's happening to him?" "Jacob." "They're inside him." "He's dying." "Help him." "Help him." "Please." "Your professor was right." "At the precipice." "We change." "It's leaving." "No." "He is leaving."
