"Unh!" "On your feet!" "Maggot!" "Maggot!" "I'm trying to be nice to you, maggot!" "Move!" "RITA:" "You okay, Cage?" "Oh yeah, yeah!" "I'm good!" "I'm good!" "Your leg's broken." "No." "I can still feel my toes." "Oh, come on." "Aah!" "CARTER:" "Rita." "Rita." "What is this?" "What are you doing here?" " Who's this guy?" " He's me..." " ...before Verdun." " Before Verdun." "What do you mean?" "He's...?" " Yes." "Yes." " When did he die?" " Where?" " On the beach." "Tomorrow." "I'm Bill Cage." "You're Dr. Carter." "We've had this conversation before." "Two fingers behind your back." "I've had the visions." "I've seen the Omega." "CARTER:" "Um..." "It's pretty much game over tomorrow." "So can we move this along?" "Okay." "Where?" "There's a dam." "It's in the mountains." "I saw German writing." "RITA:" "Do you think you can work out where that is?" "I mean, there can't be... too many places that fit that description." "I'll see what I can do." "Training's over." "I'll see you tomorrow." "We don't even know where we're going." "We will soon enough." "In the meantime, you need to figure out a way to get us off that beach." "RITA:" "What next?" "Where are we going?" "Which way?" "Focus." "Which way?" " I'm thinking." " Okay." "CAGE:" "Oh, man!" "RITA:" "How far did we make it?" "You know, it's hard to say, really." "CAGE:" "Hold!" "Hold!" "Okay, go!" "Son of a bitch!" "I thought stepping left, ducking..." "Just for the record." " It was pretty specific." " Stepping left, ducking right." "Stepping left, ducking right." "Move on." "CAGE:" "Hold on!" "Now, remember:" "Across the trench, 12:00!" "Then look to your right!" "You're not being specific." "You need to be specific." "Otherwise, I'm dead." "Rita." "RITA:" "Cage!" "Paces up to the top of the trench." "I'm gonna step left." "A mimic there, which I'll kill." "Ship explosion." "I'm gonna run 30 paces northwest." "I'm gonna duck at the top of that trench and then I'm gonna turn left." "Have I got something on my face?" "No." "SKINNER:" "Cage!"

"I'm sure they're around here somewhere." "You know, the heli's full of fuel, though." "I found a hose." "We're flying, Cage." "Let's just say we find the keys." "You know?" "Get that helicopter started." "We don't have our jackets or ammunition." "It's gonna be dark in a few hours." "Might be better off just going back to the farmhouse." "Seeing what we could salvage."

" Ten minutes." " Okay." "Then I'm killing you." "Fine." "I can't believe you found coffee." "Thank you." "Oh." "Sugar, right?" "Yeah." " Thank you." " No, hold on." "Three." "You like three."

" Rita, if you start that engine, you die." "This is as far as you go." "No matter what I do... this is as far as you ever make it." "There's a mimic buried 20 yards away." "It attacks when you start the engine." "Get your weapon and get in the helicopter, Cage." "There's more in the field back there." "Only one of us ever makes it." "RITA:" "Get in." "Only thing we haven't tried is you walk away." "Go to the farmhouse." "There's a cellar and there's food." "Wait there... till I get back." "You'll be safe." "I'm a soldier." "I volunteered."

" No." "We're not finished." "I can't get it to work." "You built a prototype at Whitehall." "CARTER:" "Yes, and I got fired for it, thank you very much." " What is this thing?" " It's a transponder." "Stick it into the Alpha and it taps into the wavelength connecting it to the Omega." "That's the idea, anyway." "I can't get it to work." "Not with the equipment I have." "How do we get what you need?" "That's the thing." "When I was at Whitehall, I built one." "I was even ready to test it." "When I told my superiors about it, I lost my job." "They thought he was crazy." "So we need to go to Whitehall." "CARTER:" "She'd be arrested 10 feet from the front door." "Psych ward, dissection, remember?" "Hey, hey, hey." "Aren't you forgetting something?" "The transponder requires a live Alpha to make it work." "We don't need one." "We got the next best thing."

"When you left this office today, I never imagined you'd be back... let alone with my most decorated soldier." "I'm gonna tell you a story." "It's gonna sound ridiculous." "The longer I talk, the more rational it's going to appear." "[PHONE RINGS]" "Tell him you'll call back." "Tell who?" "Major General Beaumont, calling from Halifax." "His plane's just been delayed." "Bad weather." "Yes." "Thank you, Beaumont." "I'll call you back." "CAGE:" "Tomorrow's invasion is a slaughter." "I'm dead within minutes of landing along with every other soldier you are sending." "And that's because the enemy knows we're coming." "How do I know this?" "Before I died..." "I killed a mimic, only this one was different." "It passed something on to me." "In my blood." "Now I live the same day over and over again." "Just like they do." "Just like Sergeant Vrataski at Verdun." "Tell your secretary everything's fine." "Beg your pardon?" "SECRETARY:" "Sorry, general." "I thought you were alone." "It's fine." "She typed up those orders for you to authorize." "But she left out the ones referring to the fuel dump at Greenwich." "Your name is Iris." "Your birthday is September 17th." "The general pulled some strings... stationed your son in Australia, as far from the war as possible." "Tell the general his dinner's been canceled." "The call came in just now." "Your dinner was canceled." "You forgot the fuel dump." "Thank you, Iris." "That'll be all." " Cage, let's go." "Come on." " CAGE:" "Rita." " Let me..." "Don't shoot him again." " RITA:" "What are we doing?" "Okay?" "Just..." "General, this isn't the first time we've had this conversation." "That's because you're stubborn." "You won't believe me when I tell you that Dr. Carter was right." "That the enemy can manipulate time." "The invasion will fail." "No matter how many bodies you throw at it." "The only way to win this war is... by finding this power source of the mimic horde and killing it." "And the only means of finding it is in that safe right there." "No matter how many times we have this conversation... you refuse to accept that the enemy breaks through to London tomorrow... and we lose." "We lose everything." "Let's say for one moment... that I can't rationally explain... your impressive parlor tricks." "Dr. Carter told me... this device requires a live mimic to work." "What use is it to you?" " That's my concern." " BRIGHAM:" "On the contrary." "According to you, this concerns the whole world." "Well, what would you do if you believed everything I just told you?" " I would locate this..." " Omega." "Bomb it out of existence." "You're not mentally equipped to fight this thing." "And you never will be." "What do we do now?" "I don't know." "We've never gotten this far." "That was easy."

"And then he tells me my second grade teacher was called Miss Polio." "She wouldn't let him go to the bathroom made him wet his pants." "Shut up." "Look, I am telling you, man." "He knows everything." "About all of us." " Bullshit." " Yeah?" "He says your name ain't really Ford." "Says Ford was your friend." "Died in combat on his first day." "You took his place."

"Well, this is great." "Really good confidence boost for tomorrow." "Thanks." "But we can change it, right?" "There has to be something that we can do." "There has to be a way that we can win." "There is a chance." "It's a slim one." "But it means coming with me right now." "GRIFF:" "Listen, pal." "I don't really care what you think you know about us." "We just met you."

"Do not kill an Alpha." "If we do, the Omega will reset this whole day." "We'll never remember we had this conversation." "They're gonna know we're coming." "What am I supposed to do if an Alpha is about to kill me?" "You take a hit for the team." "When we're on the ground... there's not gonna be a lot of time before they know we're there." "We're gonna need eyes up here." "I'm going in, Cage." "Thirty seconds till contact." "GRIFF:" "Cage!" "Kimmel!" "No!" "[YELLS]" "Ford!" "Let's go!" "Cage!" "Talk to me, Rita!" "We gotta go."
