00:00:00Just a quick stop, then we hit the road.
00:00:26Promise.
00:00:26It's Saturday. Uncle Rob and his minion offspring will beat us there and we'll get the worst camping spot again.
00:00:34There are no worst spots. There's just slightly less desirable ones.
00:00:40There are bad, terrible spots, and we always get them because we keep making these quick stops.
00:00:45Honey, new observatory, new boss, new responsibilities.
00:00:51Could have turned the job down.
00:00:52Oh, yeah. Hey, how is that new and very expensive phone working out for you, huh, kiddo?
00:00:59Point taken.
00:01:00I liked it better when you worked at George Washington U. My in there was pretty much guaranteed.
00:01:07Still is, champ. I left on good terms.
00:01:10I thought you hated the people there.
00:01:12No, no, I hate politics, not the people.
00:01:15I liked being a professor at the Space Policy Institute.
00:01:19I didn't care for their politics around their policies.
00:01:22I prefer to get science done efficiently.
00:01:26How does that help me?
00:01:28I'm still friends with all the smart people.
00:01:31That combined with your straight A's should do the rest.
00:01:33Besides, now we got way more time for camping.
00:01:36Do we?
00:01:37Because we're not getting to that campsite for at least another three hours.
00:01:40And you still have to go in and grab those papers.
00:01:42And I'll be really quick.
00:01:44Hey, I think you swear.
00:01:47Wait, I'm gonna go with you.
00:01:49What?
00:01:49I have to pee.
00:02:05Hey, just wait in the car, okay?
00:02:09You remember the code, right?
00:02:11Of course I do.
00:02:12I mean, let's make it sure.
00:02:19It's gotta be here.
00:02:29It's gotta be here.
00:02:29I feel much better.
00:02:56Just need two files, and we're gone.
00:02:59I can keep myself occupied.
00:03:04Found them.
00:03:06Could have waited till Tuesday.
00:03:08No one else is working until then.
00:03:09No way.
00:03:10You'll be doing nothing but staring at wide open night skies.
00:03:13What better time to corroborate our new findings?
00:03:16Dad, look at this.
00:03:19Probably just something on the lens.
00:03:20No, it's advancing with each image.
00:03:23Come on, here.
00:03:23Take a look.
00:03:24Come on, here.
00:03:29Slide over.
00:03:32What is it?
00:03:34I've never seen any space junk or spaceship like this, at least that you've shown me before.
00:03:40Do you think this has anything to do with the fast burst anomaly signal that you picked up last year?
00:03:44I mean, it's coming from the same direction.
00:03:47The Rubicon signal?
00:03:48Yeah.
00:03:49I don't know what we're looking at, but maybe I can figure out the trajectory.
00:03:53Hey, it's probably just private sector.
00:03:55Maybe even military.
00:03:56You know, we're not always made privy to their bills, especially the international ones.
00:04:02We're usually made aware of a launch date.
00:04:14Dr. Devlin, this is Dr. Morrow at the Maryland Observatory.
00:04:18We have a UAP sighting.
00:04:20Uh, possibly military or maybe private.
00:04:23But I'm not seeing anything on the schedule.
00:04:26Yeah, I'm sending images and coordinates now.
00:04:29Adam, go wait outside.
00:04:30But I want to listen.
00:04:31Go.
00:04:32Change of plans.
00:04:33Come back to the farmhouse.
00:04:35I'll be out in a minute.
00:04:36But I'm the one who found it.
00:04:37Go.
00:04:37Now.
00:04:38Now.
00:04:38Now.
00:04:47Yes.
00:04:48Yeah, I'm still here.
00:04:49Of course.
00:04:50First sighting was at 0813.
00:04:58Thank you, Dr. Morrow.
00:04:59We'll be in touch.
00:05:04Get me on the phone with President McCoy or SecDep Greer.
00:05:07Now.
00:05:13Mr. President.
00:05:14Sir, I just confirmed the UAP with Dr. Kate Devlin at NASA.
00:05:19Are you sure it's not just a failed satellite that's fallen out of orbit?
00:05:22No, sir.
00:05:23It appears to be a nearly perfect sphere.
00:05:25No known configuration matches this.
00:05:27Russia and China deny involvement.
00:05:29They're watching it, too.
00:05:31What's this trajectory?
00:05:32NASA and our military place it directly towards the east coast, sir, near New York City.
00:05:37All right.
00:05:37All right.
00:05:38Let's put the National Guard on standby.
00:05:40We'll issue a shelter in place for Manhattan and the surrounding area.
00:05:44That should do it.
00:05:46Will do, sir.
00:05:46I'll also divert AWAC to intercept the monitor.
00:05:49You know, Ash, I want a lot of eyeballs on this.
00:05:52President McCoy saves the world.
00:05:55Copy, sir.
00:06:01Hello.
00:06:02Chief?
00:06:02Yes.
00:06:04Put all carrier strike groups on alert.
00:06:06Everybody sufficiently scienced out?
00:06:33Can we go have fun now?
00:06:34Wait till you hear what we found.
00:06:36Is it more important than camping?
00:06:37Hey, I'm really sorry, honey, but we've got to follow up on something we found.
00:06:40I found...
00:06:41Yes, champ.
00:06:42You found.
00:06:46Damn it.
00:06:48Shouldn't have gotten rid of the 250.
00:06:50No way.
00:06:51Evie all the way.
00:06:52You made the right choice, Dad.
00:06:53What's wrong with that?
00:06:55What am I doing wrong?
00:06:58Whoa.
00:06:58We're zapped and we have no idea how to fix it.
00:07:01Hey, hey, we can fix this.
00:07:02See?
00:07:03Yeah, yeah.
00:07:07Told you.
00:07:09All right.
00:07:10Seatbelts.
00:07:17Mr. President?
00:07:18It's half the size of the Capitol Rotunda.
00:07:26The estimate is 40 feet in diameter.
00:07:28And it's just sitting there?
00:07:29Yeah.
00:07:31Sir, this is our science advisor, Dr. Grace Whitney.
00:07:34Thank you, Secretary.
00:07:35There's no detectable activity in the UAP since its arrival.
00:07:38It's an anomaly.
00:07:40Why is it an anomaly?
00:07:42Mr. President, it's a perfect sphere.
00:07:45That's not natural, except in geodes,
00:07:47and those would shatter like glass on impact.
00:07:49Couple with the fact that no agency, military intelligence,
00:07:52or the scientific community believes this is of terrestrial origin.
00:07:56Okay, we know what it isn't.
00:07:58But what is it?
00:07:58We can't ignore the possibility of an extraterrestrial hostile threat.
00:08:03We need to swiftly assess the situation, sir.
00:08:05Agreed.
00:08:06We've got an investigative team on the ground right away.
00:08:09Doctor, the scientists who originally spotted the anomaly,
00:08:12do you have any background on him?
00:08:14Yes, sir.
00:08:15Uh, Dr. Jeff Morrow, widower, two kids.
00:08:20He is an astrophysicist with a Ph.D. from Caltech,
00:08:24specializing in astrobiology.
00:08:26He was at that Space Policy Institute just a few months ago.
00:08:30He discovered that fast radio anomaly,
00:08:31the one that he nicknamed the Rubicon signal.
00:08:35You met him last year.
00:08:36Yes, and you dismissed his theory then.
00:08:38He thought it was an attempt at communication, first contact.
00:08:44That's why he named it what he did.
00:08:46Our entire universe would change if this was extraterrestrial,
00:08:49and no scientific community ever confirmed that.
00:08:51It was radio signals emitted by hydrogen.
00:08:55Unusual, yes, but not completely unheard of.
00:08:58In fact, most likely, some are saying that it would be a neutron star in its final death
00:09:03rose.
00:09:04Or a precursor of a giant metal ball falling from the sky.
00:09:08He obviously knows his stuff.
00:09:10He's not afraid to speak up.
00:09:11And if we had listened to him then, we'd be in a better position now.
00:09:14I want him on the team.
00:09:15Yes, sir.
00:09:17Sir, we must consider the potential dangers here.
00:09:19I recommend full mobilization.
00:09:22Ash, I understand your concern, but we need more answers before we start pointing guns at us.
00:09:29No answer.
00:09:30I told them it was urgent and to call me back.
00:09:32We don't have time for this.
00:09:33Have them send a chopper.
00:09:35Sir, there's got to be people available with similar or better qualifications.
00:09:38Maybe, but clearly Morrow has a clarity that they don't have.
00:09:43And we need that now.
00:09:45Grace, I want you to coordinate the military and NASA.
00:09:48Ash, you have to make sure that our troops are prepared for any scenario.
00:09:53Yes, sir.
00:09:57Really, Adam?
00:09:58A whole box of beef jerky?
00:10:00When the aliens attack, you'll be thanking me.
00:10:02Dad, it's not really aliens, right?
00:10:11Why don't you kids go inside and make some lunch, okay?
00:10:13I'll finish up here.
00:10:15Dad, it's only 9.30.
00:10:16And I know when you're dodging a question.
00:10:21Going in the house.
00:10:30Dad, what's going on?
00:10:31I don't know.
00:10:32You stay here.
00:10:39Dr. Morrow?
00:10:41Yes, I'm Dr. Morrow.
00:10:43Captain Jaffe, Patrick Space Force Base.
00:10:45Kids, hey, go back to the car.
00:10:48Is this about that dot I found at the observatory?
00:10:50Adam.
00:10:54Well, is my son right?
00:10:57I have orders from President McCoy to fly you directly to New York.
00:10:59Fly me?
00:11:01No, I'm sorry, Captain.
00:11:03I can't.
00:11:03I'm on vacation with my kids.
00:11:05I...
00:11:05Wait, why New York?
00:11:08That object you found?
00:11:10It's sitting in the East River.
00:11:12Wait, but if it landed...
00:11:14I mean, you have teams to excavate that.
00:11:19So you haven't excavated.
00:11:20Why haven't you excavated?
00:11:23What do you...
00:11:24What do you need from me?
00:11:25I'll explain to you in the air.
00:11:27Let's go.
00:11:28Leanne, is your cell phone working yet?
00:11:30No.
00:11:32Our car lost power.
00:11:34Then suddenly our cell phones died and the car came back, but...
00:11:39Maybe whatever's in New York hit one of our satellites on its way into our orbit.
00:11:42What's going on?
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:46I'll go.
00:11:47But under one condition.
00:11:49Go where?
00:11:50You leave a frequency modulation radio with my kids.
00:11:53You know, the old school kind?
00:11:55That way I can stay in constant communication with them, especially if another satellite goes down.
00:11:59Dad, where are you going?
00:12:01I'll get one.
00:12:03I have to go to New York.
00:12:06I'm going.
00:12:07No, no.
00:12:07You're staying here with your sister, okay?
00:12:09If this is about that dot that we found at the observatory, then I'm the one that found it.
00:12:15Leanne, Adam, Captain Jaffe is going to set you up with the radio.
00:12:18We'll be in constant communication.
00:12:21Hope to be back before tonight.
00:12:22Okay?
00:12:24This is all set up.
00:12:25All you need to do is power it on, push that button, and you can talk to your dad in the helo.
00:12:29Can we go now?
00:12:31This sucks, and you know it.
00:12:34I know.
00:12:34I'm sorry.
00:12:36I love you guys.
00:12:37I love you, too.
00:12:41I'll be back tonight, okay?
00:12:42I promise.
00:12:44Stay safe.
00:12:48Well, I suppose we can drive there, right?
00:12:53Soldier up, Doc.
00:12:54The kids are watching.
00:12:56We're going to save the world for them.
00:12:58Let's go.
00:12:59Dad hates to fly.
00:13:05It must really be important.
00:13:12Now, we've established a solid perimeter around the East River and evacuated the press and any civilians.
00:13:17In the meantime, we've deployed surveillance drones around the anomaly.
00:13:20But there's been no activity from the object.
00:13:24Our reconnaissance teams have reported no change.
00:13:26It's just sitting there.
00:13:27No reaction whatsoever.
00:13:29No signal, no light.
00:13:31What is it, a ship and the crew died on impact?
00:13:35Or are they in hypersleep?
00:13:37Or worse, are they readying for an attack?
00:13:40All good questions we hope Dr. Morrow can help us answer.
00:13:43What's the status of Morrow?
00:13:45Somewhere over at Pennsylvania.
00:13:47Dr. Morrow is en route with Captain Jaffe, and they should be here shortly.
00:13:53But until they arrive, as Secretary Greer mentioned, we've deployed surveillance drones.
00:13:59The National Guard is evacuating Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs.
00:14:03We cannot allow this to turn into a circus.
00:14:05No matter what, that's going to take time.
00:14:07New Yorkers will not be told what to do.
00:14:09It's a good idea to get started, though.
00:14:11Thank you, sir.
00:14:12We've also reached out to key allies and are sharing what little information we have,
00:14:15as well as coordinating response strategies.
00:14:17Are we the only country with a UAP?
00:14:19So far, there's been no indication of similar craft elsewhere.
00:14:24I guess that's a good thing.
00:14:27All right, gentlemen.
00:14:28Keep me posted.
00:14:29So you're telling me the President's team at NASA think the Rubicon signal and this UAP are related?
00:14:38Mm-hmm.
00:14:38So my son was right?
00:14:40Yep.
00:14:41You were right in predicting it was some kind of communication.
00:14:44Now we're hoping you can figure out a way to communicate with it.
00:14:48Wait, do they think there's life forms on board?
00:14:49That's another reason you're here, Doc.
00:14:53You're a xenobiologist.
00:14:54You look for any life, I look for any trouble.
00:14:58It's a perfect team-up.
00:15:05It's for you, Doc.
00:15:11Hello?
00:15:13Hey, Dad.
00:15:15You got the radio to work.
00:15:16Dad, we're watching the news about that sphere in New York.
00:15:20Isn't that where you're going?
00:15:23Dad, they don't know what it is.
00:15:24I don't think you're safe.
00:15:26Listen, you stay inside, okay?
00:15:28Do not leave unless you hear directly from me or Captain Jaffe, okay?
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:33Be careful.
00:15:33Love you.
00:15:35Leanne!
00:15:36Leanne, I can't hear you, honey.
00:15:38Honey?
00:15:42And have posted a submarine to keep an eye on it.
00:15:46I don't suppose there's any way I can get you to airlift my kids to the West Coast.
00:15:52If it comes down, we can look at our options.
00:15:59Listen, Doc.
00:16:01My folks live in Pennsylvania, near the Ohio border.
00:16:06It's not exactly the West Coast, but if we need to do something immediate,
00:16:10make sure all the right phone calls, man, all right?
00:16:12Take care of your family.
00:16:13Thank you, Captain.
00:16:18We're in uncharted territory.
00:16:21Yeah, that's why the president wants us to gather information on this thing.
00:16:26Especially while it's still unmoving.
00:16:27Oh.
00:16:31That reminds me.
00:16:33What do you know about drones?
00:16:35I mean, a little.
00:16:38I've bought one for my son.
00:16:40I play with that thing more than he does.
00:16:43Well, that's good.
00:16:45We need to launch some at the Sphere.
00:16:47I need you to take readings and gather information while I fly.
00:16:50Think you can handle that?
00:16:52Okay.
00:16:52Okay.
00:16:52You okay there, Cowboy?
00:17:01Okay.
00:17:06Captain Jaffe, what's your location?
00:17:08ETA three minutes, sir.
00:17:10Do you have all the equipment you need?
00:17:12We're readying the drone protocol put in place by Dr. Whitney, sir.
00:17:16Where's the setup device?
00:17:19It's a laptop in back.
00:17:20You okay to get it?
00:17:43You okay, Dad?
00:17:47Okay.
00:17:48We need to get the sensor readings before we use any of the more destructive equipment.
00:18:02Okay, you get that started.
00:18:04I'm going to make sure we're good elsewhere.
00:18:05Copy.
00:18:06Mr. President, we have all the equipment that Doc asked for.
00:18:12Spectral analyzer, infrared cameras, sonic drones, red, green, and UV lasers.
00:18:20Good.
00:18:20Gentlemen, stand by.
00:18:22NASA has found no evidence of further vehicular anomalies.
00:18:26Yet.
00:18:27Yet.
00:18:28This may be the only one, but they'll continue to scan until we give them the all clear.
00:18:31Let's hope so.
00:18:34Situation report?
00:18:36Should the anomaly react in a hostile manner, we are prepared to contain or destroy it.
00:18:41Destroy it?
00:18:43We'll be ready, Mr. President.
00:18:45We have a Trident sub in the harbor.
00:18:47All torpedoes are fully locked and loaded.
00:18:49We have ten fully armed Blackhawks in close proximity.
00:18:53A phallax of tanks and mobile cannons will be stationed offshore.
00:18:56Five F-35s will be circling at 20,000 feet already.
00:19:01That's fine for the immediate area, but what about the city?
00:19:04What about Manhattan?
00:19:05National Guard is overseeing evacs out of the city.
00:19:09And they're doing their best to maintain the order, sir.
00:19:12Mr. President, do you concur that sufficient precautions are in place for this operation?
00:19:19I concur.
00:19:20Captain Jaffe, did you copy all that?
00:19:23I did, sir.
00:19:25Proceed.
00:19:26Loud and clear.
00:19:37Proceed to the anomaly now, sir.
00:19:40We're heading in.
00:19:47Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me.
00:19:48We good?
00:19:56Blur cams are operational.
00:20:02Blur cams?
00:20:04Forward-looking infrared cameras.
00:20:06They see heat.
00:20:08They work great in smoke or dust.
00:20:10Basically, the brass is seeing everything we're seeing right now.
00:20:13Okay.
00:20:17Let's go say hello.
00:20:18Passive scans are done.
00:20:30No reaction from the UAP.
00:20:33We're going to see.
00:20:34The limit readings are flat across the board.
00:20:36We read no additional heat, cold, radiation of any kind.
00:20:42This thing's not even there.
00:20:44But we can see it, but we can see it so we know it reflects light.
00:20:50That makes me want to see what a laser can do to it.
00:20:53We should move on to the physical testing.
00:20:54This is physical testing.
00:21:09Mr. President.
00:21:11Did you see that?
00:21:12We all did.
00:21:13The UAP is hostile.
00:21:15General Vargas, send in the Blackhawks.
00:21:17Engage.
00:21:20Sir, there's a chance it was just maybe reacting to what happened.
00:21:24You may want to get out of the way.
00:21:26Copy that, sir.
00:21:27I'm on it.
00:21:35We're hit.
00:21:36There you are.
00:21:38We lost Jaffe's clear cam signal.
00:21:40Get me a picture, people.
00:21:41On it, sir.
00:21:42Mr. President, it attacked us again.
00:21:44General, let's give it hell.
00:21:45All forces, authorization Alpha Bravo, 5-5.
00:21:48Fire at will.
00:21:56Where's that picture?
00:21:57Network is down, sir.
00:21:58I'm working on it.
00:21:59Captain Jaffe, do you report?
00:22:01Commander Chow, do you copy?
00:22:04Somebody give me some eyeballs on this now.
00:22:07Hello?
00:22:08Report.
00:22:11Come on.
00:22:17Come on.
00:22:18Cover, have some spot down.
00:22:19No sign of rejection.
00:22:20Better read, no chance.
00:22:25Can we get satellite imagery of New York?
00:22:31We're blind here.
00:22:32All forces.
00:22:33Status report.
00:22:34Commander Chow, sit and rep.
00:22:36Can anybody hear us?
00:22:37Captain Jaffe, report.
00:22:40We have communication.
00:22:41Lost the floor cams, sir.
00:22:43The enemy engaged and defeated our entire defensive line.
00:22:46Colonel, how soon can you get them in the air?
00:22:51Good.
00:22:52Do it.
00:22:53Detail soldiers, we lost visuals.
00:22:55Sir, an extruded weapon and fire directed energy blasts at us.
00:22:59Our armor and weapons were just entirely ineffective against it.
00:23:02Captain, are you in position to observe and report on the enemy's activities?
00:23:06Affirmative, sir.
00:23:08We'll maintain a flight status.
00:23:09We've got three quarters of a tank of fuel left to preserve.
00:23:13Maintain an open radio channel.
00:23:14You're our eyes and ears until we get backup.
00:23:17We're scrambling ten raptors from McGuire.
00:23:19They're about ten minutes out.
00:23:21Excited to see some payback, sir.
00:23:23Let's get this son of a bitch.
00:23:25Ash, we need more fighters from bases further out.
00:23:27Make it happen.
00:23:28Yes, sir.
00:23:31Where the hell are my visuals?
00:23:32We're working on it, sir.
00:23:42We appreciate it.
00:23:44Yes.
00:23:45In front.
00:23:49Captain Jaffe, are you still with us?
00:23:50Sir, the UAP has retracted its weapons and is headed towards the city.
00:23:54We believe it's trying to avoid our counterstrikes by hiding amongst civilian structures.
00:24:01I don't think that's his plan, sir.
00:24:03It's followed through buildings like they're made of cardboard.
00:24:07Ask him where it's headed.
00:24:09You have any idea where the sphere is headed?
00:24:12We don't know its intended destination.
00:24:15It's headed inland at a straight line.
00:24:17Ignoring all obstacles.
00:24:19Just going right through them, sir.
00:24:21Captain, listen to me.
00:24:23Protect yourself, but we have to know where that damn thing is headed.
00:24:26You understand?
00:24:28Understood.
00:24:28Copy that.
00:24:29Loud and clear, Mr. President.
00:24:35This thing is clearly headed somewhere.
00:24:37It's had no deviation whatsoever to its path.
00:24:40Is the sphere firing any sort of ordinance?
00:24:42No, it doesn't need to.
00:24:43It's just driving right through everything.
00:24:45General, let's call the mayor, have them issue a shelter-in-place order for all the people who didn't leave when we told them to before.
00:24:51Leaving now would be like walking into a death trap.
00:24:54Yes, sir.
00:24:54We'll activate the civil defense network.
00:24:56All the people on the street can take shelter in the subway.
00:24:58We've got to have the streets clear.
00:24:59I'm already honest, sir.
00:25:01National Guard troops have begun civilian evacs for all cities along the eastern seaboard.
00:25:05We're telling everyone to move far inland as possible.
00:25:08All right, include all the neighboring states because the whole east coast is a war zone.
00:25:12Yes, sir.
00:25:13Sir, I don't want to talk out of turn, but maybe it's time to address the nation.
00:25:17Might be a lot of misinformation going on out there.
00:25:20Dr. Earl, perhaps you should tend to your own affairs.
00:25:23No.
00:25:23No, he's right.
00:25:25We need to tell the people what's happening.
00:25:28They are in the middle of it, and there's no getting around that.
00:25:30The news stations are all over it.
00:25:33I need to address the nation.
00:25:36What are you going to say?
00:25:39I'm going to tell them the truth.
00:25:43Is this helicopter okay after being hit by shrapnel?
00:25:47I mean, should we be following the sphere?
00:25:48Do we need to land?
00:25:50We're flying, Doc.
00:25:51Relax.
00:25:53You handled yourself pretty well back there for someone who's afraid of flying.
00:25:56It's not that I'm afraid.
00:25:58I just know the safety percentages.
00:26:01Sure.
00:26:02It's fine, Doc.
00:26:03I mean, everyone's afraid of something, right?
00:26:07What are you afraid of?
00:26:09Me?
00:26:10I'm a soldier.
00:26:11I'm not allowed to be afraid of anything.
00:26:15I still see a lot of people trying to get out.
00:26:23The evacuating a city is never a fast process.
00:26:26Are they firing guns at the sphere?
00:26:36We have to get them out of there.
00:26:38We're too far away.
00:26:39There's no time.
00:26:42We have our orders.
00:26:50They never had a chance.
00:26:51Listen, that's going to be all of us if we don't figure out a way to stop that thing.
00:26:58How?
00:26:58It destroys everything that gets near it.
00:27:00We observe, we report, we work smart, and we find a weakness.
00:27:03If it has one.
00:27:07Listen to me, Doc.
00:27:08That's your job, is to find a weakness net thing.
00:27:13Captain, clear that area.
00:27:15I got ten raptors coming in weapons high.
00:27:18There's still thousands of people out there trying to get out.
00:27:20Negative, General.
00:27:21Massive civilian casualties if you engage.
00:27:24Repeat.
00:27:25Massive civilian casualties if you engage.
00:27:27Afford.
00:27:28You're a call, sir.
00:27:31This is strike team leader.
00:27:32Approaching the sphere.
00:27:33Standing by.
00:27:35Sir.
00:27:39I may not have much of a legacy after today, but it won't be over this.
00:27:43Abort.
00:27:44Raptor commander, abort strike.
00:27:46I say again, abort strike.
00:27:48Copy that, General.
00:27:49Breaking off attack.
00:27:52Bravo Alpha 1010.
00:27:54Confirmed.
00:27:57Sir.
00:27:58You realize the day will come when you won't have that option.
00:28:02And if that day comes, if there is no option, I will make that call.
00:28:09Thank you, sir.
00:28:12I'll pray to God it doesn't come tonight.
00:28:19Did you see that?
00:28:21It slowed down for the first time.
00:28:24Okay, that's something.
00:28:26Is it good or is it bad?
00:28:28I don't know.
00:28:28I can't tell if it slowed because it liked the electricity or if it...
00:28:32Didn't like it.
00:28:33Either way, we need to find out, though.
00:28:35General Vorgas.
00:28:36We heard.
00:28:37It stopped.
00:28:38Let's try and get closer without attracting its attention.
00:28:41And get us more intel now.
00:28:43Copy that, sir.
00:28:45Will do.
00:28:46I'm going to call my kids before we get too close.
00:28:48Yeah.
00:28:51The UAP is continuing to move inland.
00:28:55The amount of devastation in its wake is staggering.
00:28:58Here, you can see military helicopters firing on it.
00:29:01But there seems to be little or no effect on the UAP.
00:29:05It seems to have some sort of shield causing the bullets or missiles.
00:29:09Dad?
00:29:10Where are you?
00:29:12Did you see those explosions on the news?
00:29:14What's going on?
00:29:15Get at him.
00:29:18He's here.
00:29:19Dad?
00:29:20Are you okay?
00:29:21I'm still in the helicopter.
00:29:23Listen.
00:29:24Are the phones working yet?
00:29:27Yes.
00:29:28Hey, good.
00:29:29That's good.
00:29:30Everything might be back.
00:29:32Listen.
00:29:33I want you to load up the car.
00:29:35Pack up the cases of water.
00:29:37The food.
00:29:39Battery chargers.
00:29:40This radio ad.
00:29:40All of it.
00:29:41Are we leaving?
00:29:42I thought you said to stay.
00:29:44Oh, I know.
00:29:45I know.
00:29:45But I just want you to be ready.
00:29:48You got it?
00:29:49Aren't we safe here?
00:29:50You told us to stay here.
00:29:52Yes, but I...
00:29:53Just be ready for anything.
00:29:55Get the car ready.
00:29:58Listen, honey.
00:29:59I gotta go.
00:30:02I love you guys.
00:30:04I'll check back in later.
00:30:09That was weird, right?
00:30:12I'll pack the food.
00:30:13You take care of the water?
00:30:14Yeah.
00:30:18Do you have any kids?
00:30:26Yeah.
00:30:27I did.
00:30:33Sorry.
00:30:33I didn't mean to pry.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:39Hey, how low can we get this thing?
00:30:40I want to look on the other side
00:30:42and see what the electricity did to it.
00:30:44All right.
00:30:44I don't want to get so close
00:30:45that it'll see us as a threat,
00:30:46but let me see what I can do, Doc.
00:30:54Where did they come from?
00:30:55They shouldn't be here.
00:30:59Civilian helicopter.
00:31:00Leave the area immediately.
00:31:01You are in danger.
00:31:02Repeat.
00:31:03They're too close.
00:31:04They're too close.
00:31:05Order, General.
00:31:13Please, it's our time.
00:31:15You're going down.
00:31:18Hang on.
00:31:26Sir, President Alexei Barikov
00:31:29has initiated a call
00:31:30on the Moscow-Washington line.
00:31:32Fidelity checks confirmed?
00:31:33Confirmed, vetted, and secure, sir.
00:31:36We've also had our urge or inquest
00:31:37from the General Secretary
00:31:38of the Chinese Military Commission.
00:31:42Well, this could be offers of assistance
00:31:45or simply a situation update.
00:31:47Regardless, I will take my leave.
00:31:51Temporarily.
00:31:52Orders, sir?
00:31:54Extending orders.
00:31:55Continue operations
00:31:56and currently established.
00:31:58Yes, sir.
00:32:03Get me General Trowell on the line.
00:32:10Quick, my equipment.
00:32:11Please, Dr. Spoon.
00:32:12Whoa, easy.
00:32:12Easy, sir.
00:32:15You guys are the luckiest bastards
00:32:17I've ever seen.
00:32:18Because that thing,
00:32:20that thing just took out
00:32:20the rest of those news choppers
00:32:21right after y'all went down.
00:32:23The remora.
00:32:24Private, where's your commanding officer?
00:32:26I'm in, sir.
00:32:29Sorry.
00:32:29We were securing an evacuation
00:32:32when all of a sudden
00:32:33that damn bowling ball
00:32:34breached our positions in seconds.
00:32:35Do you have a sat phone?
00:32:36No, sir.
00:32:38I was hoping maybe you guys might.
00:32:39Wait, there's one on Chopper.
00:32:41No, Doc, wait, no!
00:32:46Doc, you okay?
00:32:51Hang on, Shepard.
00:32:52Hang on.
00:32:53I'm okay.
00:32:57Easy.
00:32:57Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
00:33:08Doc, are you hit?
00:33:12I'm okay.
00:33:15All right.
00:33:17That's your hole for now.
00:33:18Stop the bleeding.
00:33:20Captain, you're advanced.
00:33:21Well, I guess you was right.
00:33:25That's where the lucky ones.
00:33:27How's he doing?
00:33:34He's all right for now,
00:33:35but we gotta get some real medical attention.
00:33:44Your phone's closed.
00:33:46Where's your phone?
00:33:50Okay, I'm looking at this.
00:33:52Come on.
00:33:53Come on.
00:33:54There we go.
00:33:56There we go.
00:33:56All right.
00:34:00Wait, you don't know the password.
00:34:01Don't need one.
00:34:02You can dial 911 from every cell phone,
00:34:04even if it's locked.
00:34:06Once I get an operator,
00:34:07I'll be good to go.
00:34:10Hopefully these cell towers are still up.
00:34:12Don't worry, Doc.
00:34:13I'll have us on a helo back to Washington
00:34:15as soon as possible.
00:34:16Gentlemen, welcome to Washington, D.C.
00:34:32President McCoy is temporarily engaged in affairs of this state.
00:34:36Howdy, Captain.
00:34:38Thank you, sir.
00:34:39What does that mean?
00:34:41It means when world leaders call asking questions about our situation.
00:34:44He has to be the one to answer.
00:34:46Understood.
00:34:47Um, who do we report to?
00:34:49You're talking to him.
00:34:51Secretary of Defense Ash Greer.
00:34:54Dr. Morrow, Captain Jaffe,
00:34:55we're grateful for the first-hand intelligence you provided.
00:34:58Thank you, sir.
00:34:58Hopefully it's something you can use.
00:35:00Actually, a news helicopter did.
00:35:02Really?
00:35:02It captured a moment just before it was shot down.
00:35:04Well, let's take a look.
00:35:05Dr. Morrow, we're about to begin a major operation.
00:35:08It's something we can discuss after this next engagement,
00:35:11should it prove necessary.
00:35:13Where is the sphere now?
00:35:15We're about to enter the upper bay,
00:35:16just north of the Jersey Shore,
00:35:17where we have four Navy destroyers
00:35:20waiting for it to clear the civilian quadrant.
00:35:23And once it enters the water,
00:35:24it'll be subjected to a fusillade of 10-ed shells
00:35:26as well as a simultaneous missile aerial strike
00:35:29from 10 F-22 Raptors.
00:35:32We have a battery of tanks on the Jersey side
00:35:34to prevent its egress from the bay.
00:35:35Sir, conventional weapons don't seem to work against it.
00:35:37It just destroys whatever it precedes as a threat.
00:35:40Nothing beats a tribe but a failure, Dr. Morrow.
00:35:43Satellite imaging on screen.
00:35:47Mr. Secretary?
00:35:52Spearhead!
00:35:53Talon!
00:35:54You are weapons free!
00:35:56Fire at will!
00:35:57This is Spearhead, reading you loud and clear.
00:36:00Commencing fire, sir!
00:36:13General, sit right.
00:36:15The attack appears to be working, sir.
00:36:18The Spear slowed down.
00:36:20It could be adapting.
00:36:21It could be adapting.
00:36:21Tankers, stand down.
00:36:42Do not engage.
00:36:43I repeat, do not engage.
00:36:45All units, retreat.
00:36:46Do not engage.
00:36:47Get the hell out of there!
00:36:48General, analysis.
00:36:49We just lost a lot of good people.
00:36:51I need to know why.
00:36:52It changed tactics.
00:36:54It didn't even use its beam weapons.
00:36:56At all.
00:36:57It took our own missiles and used them against us.
00:36:59They either just tested that tactic for the first time,
00:37:02or they just wanted us to know they could do it.
00:37:05Either way.
00:37:05General, what are we dealing with here?
00:37:10I don't know.
00:37:11But we need to find out.
00:37:15So this is the footage from the news helicopters?
00:37:29Yes.
00:37:30That's the last footage that the news helicopters sent back.
00:37:32There.
00:37:35That's where it paused.
00:37:36Do you see how the electricity flows around the sphere?
00:37:39We saw this in person.
00:37:40It's like the electricity is holding it there.
00:37:43Or it's choosing to hold there.
00:37:45Mm-hmm.
00:37:46Mm-hmm.
00:37:46And do you see how the ripple effects on the sphere
00:37:49right before it plows into the power station?
00:37:50We saw the same effect when a guy hit by the 10-inch guns.
00:37:53Yeah, but we didn't see that ripple effect
00:37:55when the drone pointed the laser at it.
00:37:56No, that first beam was the equivalent of a cat toy.
00:38:00Essentially harmless.
00:38:01But I believe it may have been interpreted as a hostile act.
00:38:04So, what's going on here, doctor?
00:38:07And you are a doctor.
00:38:09So, is this an it, or is it a they?
00:38:13Is it a machine that we have to break,
00:38:15or is it some kind of alien, cruel soldier that we need to kill?
00:38:19I honestly don't know, sir, but I'm not sure how that matters.
00:38:23It matters to me.
00:38:24Well, if there are life forms on board,
00:38:28they're very well protected.
00:38:29And if it is akin to a drone,
00:38:31then it's just going to keep doing what it does
00:38:33until it runs out of power.
00:38:34We figured that out for ourselves, Dr. Morrow.
00:38:40Mr. President.
00:38:42Mr. Secretary.
00:38:44Dr. Morrow has the floor.
00:38:46Yes, sir.
00:38:47You have enough problems without issues of respect.
00:38:50Yes, sir.
00:38:51Were your discussions productive?
00:38:52As much as they can be with world leaders
00:38:54who have access to nuclear weapons
00:38:56and are more concerned about our lack of progress.
00:38:59You appreciate your candor, sir.
00:39:00Good news is that they have offered access
00:39:03to their military and university science divisions.
00:39:06Good.
00:39:07That's a lot of extra brain power
00:39:08and potential firepower to bring to the table.
00:39:11Well, let's make use of it.
00:39:12Your respective counterparts will be linking to you shortly.
00:39:16Thank you, sir.
00:39:17Looking forward to it, sir.
00:39:19Let's go.
00:39:19Um, Dr. Whitney,
00:39:21has NASA reported any further speeds or objects?
00:39:24No, but they've got all available observatories
00:39:27and satellites watching the skies.
00:39:29Okay.
00:39:29I believe we should follow up on this observation
00:39:32that electricity or electromagnetic energy
00:39:34from the power station affected it.
00:39:36I agree.
00:39:38But completely correlating this data
00:39:40is going to take a lot of time,
00:39:41so we're going to have to...
00:39:42The thing we have precious little of.
00:39:47You aren't the only people
00:39:49who have scientists on speed dial.
00:39:51I've just received an alternate plan
00:39:52from the CERN think tank in Geneva.
00:39:55CERN?
00:39:56The European Council for Nuclear Research?
00:39:59No, they run the collider.
00:40:01They run the largest particle physics laboratory
00:40:03in the world.
00:40:04They deal exclusively with cutting-edge technology.
00:40:07Yes, that's true, sir, but...
00:40:09Mr. Morrow.
00:40:10The doctor.
00:40:14Dr. Morrow.
00:40:16They have a workable plan.
00:40:18Do you?
00:40:20No.
00:40:22Not as of yet,
00:40:23but that's why we need more time
00:40:24to analyze the data.
00:40:25CERN has analyzed the data,
00:40:26and they have a proposal
00:40:27which we can implement now.
00:40:31Doctor, sit down.
00:40:33Please.
00:40:35Mr. Secretary, proceed.
00:40:38I've just received confirmation
00:40:40that my colleagues in CERN
00:40:41have designed a definitive strike.
00:40:43Why are we just hearing about this now?
00:40:45They were working out the math, sir,
00:40:47which you can appreciate, doctor.
00:40:49At any rate,
00:40:50they feel a direct payload
00:40:51of liquid nitrogen
00:40:52would freeze at least a portion of the sphere
00:40:54before it has a chance to attack,
00:40:56whereupon repetitive direct hits
00:40:57should crack it open like an eggshell.
00:40:59Yeah, it's like putting a rubber ball
00:41:00in liquid nitrogen.
00:41:02Drop it, it'll shatter like glass.
00:41:03What do you think, Dr. Morrow?
00:41:05I mean, it's technically viable,
00:41:09but how the hell are you going
00:41:10to get liquid nitrogen on it?
00:41:11Are you going to drop it from a tree?
00:41:14General?
00:41:16The Sikorsky King Stallion
00:41:17can easily carry a tanker
00:41:19for liquid nitrogen.
00:41:20Yeah, and the Warthog A-10s
00:41:21have the precision accuracy
00:41:22to pound that thing over and over again
00:41:23until they get the job done.
00:41:28Give me Colonel Watt
00:41:29at the 87 airbase wing of the line.
00:41:32Sir, you're going to need somebody
00:41:33to blaze that target
00:41:34and guide those guns.
00:41:36We've done enough, soldier.
00:41:39You know that's never the answer, sir.
00:41:41Take care of yourself, Captain.
00:41:44I'll try, sir.
00:41:46Can I just be the voice of reason
00:41:48and point out that we don't know
00:41:48what's going to spill out of that Easter egg
00:41:50when you crack it open?
00:41:52This is why we'll need
00:41:53a training server in the field.
00:41:55Thank you for volunteering, doctor.
00:41:57Volunteering?
00:42:00Yeah, come on, doc.
00:42:01Break up the team now.
00:42:03Let's do this.
00:42:07Let's go.
00:42:15Good trick.
00:42:21I'm glad they were able to evacuate.
00:42:24Me too.
00:42:25If we're pointing another laser at the sphere,
00:42:27we need to make sure we do not miss.
00:42:29Why?
00:42:31We have to keep it pinpointed
00:42:32on the coat of ice formed
00:42:33by the liquid nitrogen,
00:42:35not the sphere's surface.
00:42:37If we do,
00:42:39it might...
00:42:40it might notice us.
00:42:42I'm giving us at a distance
00:42:45that seems to be safe, doc.
00:42:48If we stay at least 200 feet away,
00:42:49it's ignoring us.
00:42:51Okay.
00:42:52Okay.
00:42:54I'm trusting you.
00:42:56I'll keep the birds steady.
00:42:58You do your part.
00:43:00Ice, guns, shatter.
00:43:01The hogs are locked in on the beam.
00:43:03This will be over in no time.
00:43:05Trust me.
00:43:05You know what I don't understand?
00:43:09Where is it going?
00:43:10Why is it going there so slowly?
00:43:13It's like it...
00:43:15It's like they want us to shoot at it.
00:43:18Look, I don't have a problem with that, doc.
00:43:19This thing has killed thousands of people.
00:43:22It needs to be stopped
00:43:23and put down hard, now.
00:43:25This thing just doesn't make sense.
00:43:27Look, it doesn't need to.
00:43:28It just needs to be dead.
00:43:32Hammer, this is Skywatch.
00:43:34We're in position.
00:43:36Drop the payload.
00:43:41These were dead.
00:43:42Come on.
00:43:43Direct hit.
00:43:50Yes.
00:43:51There's a target, doc.
00:43:52Right there, top of the sphere.
00:43:57Strike team, target is lit.
00:43:59Take this bastard out, now.
00:44:07Damn it.
00:44:11Nice, it's disintegrated, bud.
00:44:14This sphere looks undamaged.
00:44:15It's not moving, though.
00:44:18Maybe it was affected.
00:44:20All right.
00:44:20I'm going to call for them to make another run.
00:44:23Wait, wait, hold on.
00:44:24Do not fire.
00:44:25Look.
00:44:26There.
00:44:27At the bottom,
00:44:28it's beginning to ripple.
00:44:31Just like it did before the last attacks.
00:44:33All right, I'm backing off
00:44:33to give the Warthard's clearance.
00:44:35Pull off the second wave.
00:44:36We all need to evac now.
00:44:37Afford, afford.
00:44:39Hang on.
00:44:40Oh.
00:44:43Land this thing right now.
00:44:53Put the landing target in the sky.
00:44:55They're cold, doc.
00:44:56Hang on.
00:45:00Oh, they're sacking the ship.
00:45:02Oh, my doc.
00:45:02They're doing outside.
00:45:04We've got a long run back.
00:45:05Oh.
00:45:05Oh.
00:45:06McGuire, this is Skywatch.
00:45:21The operation was a total failure.
00:45:23Repeat, total failure.
00:45:25Turn it to base.
00:45:26Damn it!
00:45:33The Sphere is now firing beams
00:45:35and destroying power stations.
00:45:36There's parts of New Jersey without power.
00:45:38Has the Sphere changed course?
00:45:40No.
00:45:41On the same course,
00:45:42south of New Jersey.
00:45:42It is.
00:45:43But electrical power stations
00:45:44within a 20-mile radius
00:45:45are blowing up.
00:45:47It's crippling our infrastructure.
00:45:48We need other options.
00:45:49This damn metal ball
00:45:52cannot be impervious
00:45:53to everything we have.
00:45:55It's either deflected
00:45:56or defeated
00:45:56every single conventional weapon
00:45:57that we've thrown at it.
00:45:59The Royal Canadian Air Force
00:46:00is dispatching a squadron
00:46:02of CE-145C
00:46:03vigilance aircraft.
00:46:04ETA is four hours out.
00:46:06Having more eyes
00:46:07in the sky
00:46:07is a good thing,
00:46:08but we need superior firepower.
00:46:10Has anybody else
00:46:11offered anything?
00:46:13We've shared
00:46:14every bit of intel
00:46:14with the scientific community
00:46:16and the military
00:46:16of all nations.
00:46:17They're working
00:46:18on their own data analysis.
00:46:20They all want to help
00:46:20in their own way,
00:46:21but they're all worried
00:46:22they might be next,
00:46:23so they don't want
00:46:24to draw attention
00:46:24to themselves,
00:46:25and I can't say
00:46:26that I blame them.
00:46:27CERN's working
00:46:28out another plan.
00:46:32When Dr. Morrow returns,
00:46:34have him integrate himself
00:46:35with all of these
00:46:36scientific agencies.
00:46:37This is no longer
00:46:38just an American problem.
00:46:40Yes, sir.
00:46:41Make sure he gets access
00:46:42to that video
00:46:43he's been asking about.
00:46:44If he's on to something,
00:46:45we're going to need it pronto.
00:46:46Assembling it now.
00:46:48Let's have that video
00:46:49sent up to the SATCOM room,
00:46:50have copies sent over
00:46:51to JPL, NASA, and Spacelab,
00:46:53and any other armchair
00:46:56space nerd that Morrow trusts.
00:46:59Absolutely, sir.
00:47:00Let's go, people.
00:47:01We're not living in a vacuum.
00:47:02Let's get some eyeballs
00:47:03on this.
00:47:05Where's Captain Jeffy now?
00:47:07He should be landing
00:47:08in Meguiar by now.
00:47:09All right, Doc.
00:47:23Come and open the base.
00:47:26Thank God.
00:47:27Sit her down.
00:47:28I am never, ever getting back
00:47:40on one of those things
00:47:41ever again.
00:47:43Truth is, I've done much worse,
00:47:45so you're going to need
00:47:46to walk it off, Doc.
00:47:47You've got way bigger problems
00:47:48to deal with.
00:47:49You're right, Captain.
00:47:50I'm sorry.
00:47:51It's you.
00:47:54Starting to rub off on you.
00:47:55Make a soldier out of you yet.
00:47:57I've got to check in.
00:47:58Let's go.
00:48:01Captain, I know
00:48:01we lost a lot of people.
00:48:02I just, I know
00:48:03we're missing something.
00:48:05I'm missing something.
00:48:06Hey, do not go down
00:48:08that path, Doc.
00:48:10NASA and CERN
00:48:11haven't figured out
00:48:12a way to stop
00:48:12that damn thing.
00:48:14Do not do that
00:48:14to yourself.
00:48:17You know,
00:48:17I keep going back, too.
00:48:19I keep thinking about
00:48:19that incident
00:48:20at the power plant.
00:48:22I mean, you saw it, right?
00:48:23It stopped for a reason.
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:25I just,
00:48:26I just need to figure out why.
00:48:29Okay.
00:48:30What do you need?
00:48:32I need to look
00:48:33at all the available data.
00:48:34Wait, do we have access
00:48:35to that footage here?
00:48:36Yeah, I can get it.
00:48:37Okay.
00:48:39I also need to talk
00:48:39to Dr. Devlin at NASA.
00:48:41Okay, there's a phone
00:48:41in the office.
00:48:42Come on.
00:48:46There you go.
00:48:48All right, I'll be back.
00:48:51Devlin here.
00:49:03Dr. Devlin?
00:49:05It's Dr. Morrow.
00:49:06Has your agency detected
00:49:07any other spheres in orbit?
00:49:09No.
00:49:10Well, anyone else?
00:49:12ESA?
00:49:13Mars Cosmos?
00:49:15No, no one's reported anything.
00:49:18Would you be able to backtrack
00:49:19and give an estimate
00:49:20on its point of origin?
00:49:21Already on it.
00:49:23We detected a faint radiation trail
00:49:26that we've been backtracking.
00:49:27Well, where's it leading back to?
00:49:29Deep space.
00:49:31Jeff, your, um,
00:49:33your fast radio burst theory,
00:49:35your Rubicon signal,
00:49:37we said it was
00:49:38a random burst of noise.
00:49:39You said it was
00:49:40an attempt at first contact.
00:49:42Okay, it doesn't...
00:49:44We have concluded
00:49:45the source of the radiation trail
00:49:47and the FRB
00:49:49have the same point of origin.
00:49:53Oh.
00:49:54Hang on, Jeff.
00:49:55We may have something for you.
00:50:05No.
00:50:06No?
00:50:08No what?
00:50:10Dr. Morrow,
00:50:11your FRB was a warning.
00:50:15We found even more spheres,
00:50:17and they're in our solar system
00:50:18close to Jupiter.
00:50:20Dr. Morrow,
00:50:20we may have
00:50:21a doomsday situation
00:50:23on our hands.
00:50:25Ten spheres
00:50:32situated around Jupiter.
00:50:33Are you kidding me?
00:50:35NASA tracked the origin
00:50:36of the first sphere.
00:50:37It's the same exact location
00:50:38of Dr. Morrow's
00:50:40fast radio burst.
00:50:41The Rubicon signal
00:50:42that he said
00:50:43was extraterrestrial communication.
00:50:45The origin point
00:50:46led us to these.
00:50:48Ten more spheres.
00:50:49ready to attack
00:50:51at a moment's notice.
00:50:52Jesus,
00:50:53we're struggling
00:50:53with one.
00:50:55Sir,
00:50:55we need to alert
00:50:56our allies.
00:50:57I'm very sorry, sir,
00:50:58but there's more.
00:51:04What am I looking at here?
00:51:06What...
00:51:06In addition
00:51:07to the ten spheres,
00:51:09Dr. Morrow
00:51:09and Dr. Devlin
00:51:10believe that it's actually
00:51:12a fleet.
00:51:14Extraterrestrial ships
00:51:15ready to finish the job.
00:51:19Has this been verified?
00:51:20It's the same exact location
00:51:22as Dr. Morrow's FRB.
00:51:23It doesn't make any sense.
00:51:25Why would E.T.
00:51:26give us a road map
00:51:27to where they're hiding?
00:51:28Well, we don't think
00:51:29that's what they did.
00:51:30We think that the last planet
00:51:31that they destroyed
00:51:32was a warning to us.
00:51:33A bit of a jump
00:51:34in logic there.
00:51:35Possibly.
00:51:36But NASA is retargeting
00:51:38the Hubble and the James Webb,
00:51:39so we will know soon enough.
00:51:42This is an extraterrestrial fleet.
00:51:44It is the most
00:51:45logical conclusion
00:51:47given the available data, sir.
00:51:48Now, is this fleet en route?
00:51:50We don't know,
00:51:51but NASA is checking
00:51:53as we speak.
00:51:54They start to advance.
00:51:56We think that they're going
00:51:57to send the ten ships
00:51:58near Jupiter first.
00:52:00I mean,
00:52:00it could just be more drones.
00:52:03But I guess
00:52:06we shouldn't rule out
00:52:08something like
00:52:08a first wave
00:52:10of alien soldiers.
00:52:12Either way,
00:52:12Mr. President,
00:52:14it would be prudent
00:52:15to assume
00:52:15that we are facing
00:52:17an imminent
00:52:18hostile invasion.
00:52:22Give Captain Jaffe
00:52:23and Dr. Morrow
00:52:23on the horn.
00:52:24Come on.
00:52:27Patch me through
00:52:28to Captain Jaffe.
00:52:33All right, let's go.
00:52:43This is Captain Jaffe.
00:52:44Captain Jaffe,
00:52:45did you have Dr. Morrow
00:52:46there with you?
00:52:47Yes, sir.
00:52:48Mr. President.
00:52:50Sir, may I put you
00:52:51in speakerphone?
00:52:51Please.
00:52:54Dr. Morrow,
00:52:56are there any further
00:52:56details you can provide
00:52:58me with regarding
00:52:59this fleet?
00:53:00You seem to be
00:53:01the only one
00:53:02who had any idea
00:53:03that there was
00:53:04potentially something
00:53:05out there
00:53:05three months ago.
00:53:07I see you talked
00:53:07to Dr. Whitney.
00:53:09Sir, after studying
00:53:10the sphere,
00:53:10I am fully convinced
00:53:11that it is a probe.
00:53:13A probe?
00:53:14Yeah, it's collecting
00:53:15our data, sir.
00:53:16Probing our defenses.
00:53:17I kept asking myself
00:53:20why?
00:53:22Why is it moving
00:53:23so slowly?
00:53:24Like it wants us
00:53:25to shoot at it.
00:53:25Which we have been.
00:53:27Just like we're
00:53:27supposed to, sir.
00:53:28Every time we attack it,
00:53:30it just relays our defenses
00:53:31to its main fleet.
00:53:32The units we discovered
00:53:33near Jupiter.
00:53:34That's the real
00:53:35invading force.
00:53:36And they'll destroy us all.
00:53:38Whether through
00:53:39unmanned weaponry
00:53:40or full-on
00:53:40alien soldiers,
00:53:43we need to be
00:53:43prepared for it all.
00:53:45What is this based on?
00:53:46It's empirical.
00:53:47Sure.
00:53:48But Dr. Devlin
00:53:49thinks it's a possibility, too.
00:53:51But that's it.
00:53:53That's all I got.
00:53:55Anyone else?
00:53:56Mr. President,
00:53:57I concur with Dr. Devlin
00:53:58and Dr. Morrow.
00:53:59I do, too, sir.
00:54:01This is a basic
00:54:02military strategy.
00:54:04It's assembling
00:54:05its forces.
00:54:06It's sending out
00:54:07its scouts
00:54:08to verify
00:54:08enemy position
00:54:09and strength.
00:54:10It's going to
00:54:11soften up its targets
00:54:12and invade
00:54:13when the resistance
00:54:13has been eliminated.
00:54:15Where is this sphere now?
00:54:16It's just outside
00:54:19of Baltimore, sir,
00:54:20where it's been
00:54:21systematically targeting
00:54:22our electrical power
00:54:23substations.
00:54:24I have family
00:54:25in Baltimore.
00:54:27All of Baltimore
00:54:28has been evacuated.
00:54:29Half the eastern
00:54:30seaboard
00:54:30is without power.
00:54:31They've obviously
00:54:32been studying us
00:54:33and our power grid
00:54:34in great detail.
00:54:35How long before
00:54:36the sphere is in D.C.?
00:54:37We've extrapolated
00:54:38this all based
00:54:39on its movement
00:54:40since its arrival.
00:54:41How did you
00:54:42figure out
00:54:43the path?
00:54:44All right.
00:54:45I believe
00:54:46that it is
00:54:47slow walking
00:54:48to the people's house,
00:54:49which is the real
00:54:50seat of power
00:54:51in this country
00:54:51and is going
00:54:52to be gathering
00:54:53data all along
00:54:54the way.
00:54:55As you said,
00:54:56Dr. Morrow,
00:54:57two hours
00:54:58and seven minutes
00:54:59until it reaches
00:54:59this exact location,
00:55:01sir.
00:55:02And then
00:55:03that'll be
00:55:04the showdown.
00:55:06Captain Jaffe,
00:55:08Dr. Morrow.
00:55:09The CERN plant
00:55:10is a failure.
00:55:11We need you here
00:55:12in D.C.
00:55:12to formulate
00:55:13a new plan
00:55:13of attack,
00:55:14if you are willing.
00:55:15Yes, sir.
00:55:15Marine One is
00:55:16en route
00:55:16to pick you up.
00:55:17Over now.
00:55:18I know.
00:55:23We have to be
00:55:23in D.C. ASAP.
00:55:25My house might be
00:55:26in the direct line
00:55:27of Spears' path.
00:55:28I've got to get my kids.
00:55:29You told them
00:55:30to pack up the truck
00:55:31and be ready to go.
00:55:32I'm sure they can
00:55:32clear the air.
00:55:33You heard those guys.
00:55:34Half the eastern
00:55:35seaboard is without power.
00:55:37All right.
00:55:37I'll send a detail
00:55:38to secure your kids
00:55:39on the way to D.C.
00:55:40Got it.
00:55:42Captain,
00:55:43I have to get my kids.
00:55:45No.
00:55:46We need to get to Washington.
00:55:47I will send
00:55:47soldiers to retrieve
00:55:48your family.
00:55:49That's not good enough.
00:55:50Those army guys
00:55:50are out there
00:55:51doing army stuff.
00:55:53I need to guarantee
00:55:54my kids are safe.
00:55:59All right.
00:56:00Fine.
00:56:01I'll go.
00:56:02You get into that
00:56:03chapter to Washington
00:56:03right now
00:56:04and I'll look at your kids,
00:56:06I swear.
00:56:08Thank you,
00:56:09Captain Chaffee.
00:56:10It's all.
00:56:11Sean.
00:56:12Thank you, Sean.
00:56:13It's approaching
00:56:25the outskirts
00:56:26of the city, sir.
00:56:27All of D.C.
00:56:28has been evacuated.
00:56:29All non-essential personnel
00:56:30have been moved
00:56:31to a safer location.
00:56:32Mr. President,
00:56:32we should consider moving
00:56:33to a secure location
00:56:34as well.
00:56:35I agree, sir.
00:56:37Dr. Morrow,
00:56:38Captain Chaffee
00:56:39just checked in.
00:56:41He's about to pick
00:56:41up your kids.
00:56:42Thank you, sir.
00:56:43I'm very grateful.
00:56:45You're welcome.
00:56:46Family first.
00:56:47Mr. Motto I ran out.
00:56:48That's why I voted
00:56:49for you, sir.
00:56:50Dr. Devlin reports
00:56:51that the fleet
00:56:52hasn't moved,
00:56:53nor have the 10 spheres
00:56:54near Jupiter.
00:56:55So they're definitely
00:56:55waiting for the sphere
00:56:56to reach the capital.
00:56:56Sir, Joint Special Operations
00:56:59have arranged
00:56:59for experimental rail guns
00:57:01to be deployed
00:57:01within five hours.
00:57:03Five hours?
00:57:04They're installed
00:57:05on our destroyers.
00:57:06That's how long
00:57:07it's going to take
00:57:07to unmount them
00:57:08and fly them
00:57:09to this location.
00:57:10How long until
00:57:11the sphere gets here?
00:57:13An hour and 52 minutes, sir.
00:57:16Is there any branch
00:57:17of the military
00:57:18that can deploy something?
00:57:20No, sir.
00:57:21Nothing that wouldn't hurt us
00:57:23as much as it hurt them.
00:57:25You gotta give me something.
00:57:26Anything.
00:57:27There's gotta be something.
00:57:28You are missing
00:57:29something, General.
00:57:30Give me 15 minutes, sir.
00:57:31I believe I
00:57:33may have something.
00:57:34Leanne, something's coming.
00:57:44It's the sphere.
00:57:45We gotta go, now.
00:57:46It's not the sphere.
00:57:47It's Dad.
00:57:50Adam!
00:57:54Dad!
00:57:55Dad!
00:57:56Hang on!
00:57:56Don't get too close!
00:57:58We gotta move.
00:57:59Where's Dad?
00:58:00He's doing his job.
00:58:01Mine is to keep you safe.
00:58:02Move!
00:58:02Let's go.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:03Go.
00:58:05Let's go, kids.
00:58:05Come on.
00:58:06Move!
00:58:06Wait, we need to go back.
00:58:11We left our stuff.
00:58:12Ref, Andy, hold on.
00:58:14Adam, it doesn't matter.
00:58:15We'll buy new stuff.
00:58:17Give me a fun ride.
00:58:22Now remember,
00:58:23up until this point,
00:58:24the sphere plowed through
00:58:25a dozen buildings
00:58:26without even blinking.
00:58:27And then suddenly,
00:58:28it slows down
00:58:30at a power station.
00:58:31Why?
00:58:32The electrical discharge
00:58:34from the Transformers.
00:58:36Yes.
00:58:36Why there?
00:58:38Because of this.
00:58:41Now, it took me forever
00:58:42to notice this,
00:58:43but we may have found
00:58:44a potential weakness.
00:58:51Doctor, what are we looking for?
00:58:54So, frame two,
00:58:56there's a blur distortion
00:58:57here,
00:58:58and then frame A,
00:59:01it's gone.
00:59:02Now, it's easy to miss,
00:59:03but the fact is,
00:59:04the sphere is sharp
00:59:06up until here,
00:59:08and then it goes soft
00:59:09at this point,
00:59:10right as it plows
00:59:12through the buildings.
00:59:13And this means what exactly?
00:59:15It means
00:59:16it has a force field.
00:59:18That's the attenuation
00:59:19of light through
00:59:20an intense magnetic field.
00:59:22Yes.
00:59:22And that's the critical point.
00:59:24not only does it have a force field,
00:59:26it doesn't have it on
00:59:27all the time.
00:59:30Why not?
00:59:32I can answer that.
00:59:34It's a major power drain.
00:59:36Precisely.
00:59:37It needs something strong enough
00:59:38to shrug off all the stuff
00:59:39you've been throwing at it,
00:59:40but that requires
00:59:41massive amounts of energy.
00:59:43So I've combed through
00:59:46all the available video footage
00:59:48I could find
00:59:48between every interaction
00:59:49with the sphere.
00:59:51Watch.
00:59:52On.
00:59:53Off.
00:59:54On.
00:59:55Off.
00:59:56On.
00:59:57Off.
00:59:58Now, it's subtle,
01:00:00but it's unmistakably there.
01:00:02The clear interaction
01:00:03between photons
01:00:04and an electromagnetic field
01:00:06is strong enough
01:00:06to pull them off course.
01:00:08Why didn't we see this before?
01:00:11We were too far away.
01:00:12Frankly, too busy
01:00:14evading explosions.
01:00:16Well, we wouldn't have
01:00:16caught it at all
01:00:17if you and Captain Jaffe
01:00:18hadn't risked your lives
01:00:20to report the attack.
01:00:22Footage of those
01:00:22news helicopters captured
01:00:23was instrumental.
01:00:25Sir, I believe we might
01:00:27have a possible turning point.
01:00:29Explain.
01:00:29You gotta explain that, Doctor.
01:00:31Sir, every time
01:00:32we attack this thing,
01:00:33it turns on its force field.
01:00:36Anytime it wants
01:00:36to bulldoze something,
01:00:37it turns on its force field.
01:00:39I think that maybe,
01:00:41maybe,
01:00:42it's vulnerable
01:00:43when its field is not on.
01:00:46Well, what about New York
01:00:47when you hit it
01:00:47with a laser point?
01:00:48No, you already had
01:00:49all your assault weapons
01:00:50on the field.
01:00:51All I did was ring
01:00:51the bell for round one.
01:00:53He's right.
01:00:56That spear engaged
01:00:57every piece of ordinance
01:00:58we threw at it.
01:00:59Look out our Blackhawks,
01:01:00our F-35s,
01:01:02our tanks,
01:01:03our mobile artillery.
01:01:04And it kept moving
01:01:05inland for more.
01:01:06Everything that this thing does
01:01:07is either a weapons test
01:01:08or an asset's crippler.
01:01:10Our power grid infrastructure.
01:01:12Correct.
01:01:13All right,
01:01:13so how do we use
01:01:14this knowledge?
01:01:17Okay, we know
01:01:17the unexpected surge
01:01:19from the power plant
01:01:19caught it by surprise.
01:01:21And it stopped short
01:01:22before it could
01:01:23turn the field back on
01:01:24and protect it.
01:01:25So it's only active
01:01:26when a threat is perceived.
01:01:28Otherwise,
01:01:28it conserves power.
01:01:30So we need to isolate it
01:01:31and throw something
01:01:32it can't see
01:01:33and prepare for.
01:01:34It might be able
01:01:35to penetrate its defenses.
01:01:36What can we throw
01:01:37at this that we haven't already?
01:01:41What about an EMF?
01:01:45Yes.
01:01:46Yes, our own
01:01:47electromagnetic field.
01:01:49I mention that
01:01:49because the White House
01:01:50has a lot of pulse generators
01:01:52in its surrounding buildings
01:01:53in case of unknown attacks.
01:01:54Well, if we could use those,
01:01:56we could possibly
01:01:57set up a trap.
01:01:58Find an area
01:01:58where we can bombard it
01:01:59with EMF pulses
01:02:00and hopefully we
01:02:02catch it by surprise,
01:02:04weaken its shielding
01:02:04and disrupt it.
01:02:07Yeah, but how do you
01:02:08get it into the trap
01:02:09and where's the bait?
01:02:10That's the easy part, sir.
01:02:12We know exactly
01:02:12where it's going
01:02:13and how it's getting there.
01:02:14Speaking of coming and going,
01:02:16where are my kids?
01:02:18Dr. Whitney,
01:02:19is the captain checked in?
01:02:20Yes.
01:02:21The captain has brought
01:02:22your kids to his parents'
01:02:23home in Pennsylvania
01:02:23and then they're going
01:02:24to head to Tobyhanna
01:02:26Army Depot.
01:02:29Okay.
01:02:30Commandeer all resources
01:02:31necessary to implement
01:02:32this plan,
01:02:33Mr. Secretary.
01:02:33Yes, sir.
01:02:34What do we do
01:02:35once the sphere
01:02:35has been stunned?
01:02:39Blow it up.
01:02:40No, nothing you've
01:02:41hit it with affects it.
01:02:43You don't know
01:02:43what will work.
01:02:44We haven't thrown
01:02:45everything at it yet.
01:02:47Are you suggesting
01:02:48we go nuclear on it?
01:02:50No.
01:02:51Absolutely not.
01:02:53We need to isolate it
01:02:54and throw everything
01:02:55we got left at it.
01:02:57Cluster, combustible,
01:02:58chemical, whatever.
01:03:00How do you isolate
01:03:01a floating ball?
01:03:03I don't know, Dr. Morrow.
01:03:04Why don't you tell me?
01:03:05Enough.
01:03:06We need ideas, okay?
01:03:09In the meantime,
01:03:10let's just work
01:03:10on getting this EMF
01:03:11in place.
01:03:12The bunkers.
01:03:14The underground bunkers
01:03:15in the White House.
01:03:16Are they...
01:03:17Do we have access
01:03:18to those here?
01:03:20It's not like that,
01:03:21Dr. Morrow.
01:03:22Okay, but
01:03:22if we can find
01:03:24a place along
01:03:25the sphere's path
01:03:25that align with
01:03:26the underground maze
01:03:27of bunkers,
01:03:28then we can
01:03:28spring...
01:03:30I'm not following
01:03:31you, doctor.
01:03:32Okay.
01:03:34Look,
01:03:34I know I'm not
01:03:36from here,
01:03:37but I know
01:03:37there are bunkers here.
01:03:39Someplace where
01:03:39the senators
01:03:40and the president
01:03:41go to be safe.
01:03:43Right?
01:03:43Yes, there is.
01:03:44Okay.
01:03:45We find a place
01:03:46along the sphere's path,
01:03:48and then we
01:03:48open one up,
01:03:50create a hole,
01:03:51and then we bombard it
01:03:52with the EMF blast.
01:03:53It falls into
01:03:54this concrete area,
01:03:55and then you,
01:03:56General, you just...
01:03:56You go at it.
01:03:57You just hit it
01:03:58with everything you got,
01:03:59all right?
01:03:59Full court press,
01:04:00kitchen sink,
01:04:00whole nine yards,
01:04:01everything.
01:04:02Everything you got,
01:04:03but no nukes.
01:04:05That's your plan, huh?
01:04:08Yeah.
01:04:10All right.
01:04:11Let's make this happen.
01:04:13Really?
01:04:14Hey, good, bad,
01:04:15it's the only plan
01:04:16I'm hearing in this room
01:04:17right now.
01:04:18You're right,
01:04:18Mr. President.
01:04:20We'll survey the area
01:04:21for the best site
01:04:21right away.
01:04:22Good.
01:04:23You have only about
01:04:2480 minutes.
01:04:26Get the demolition team ready.
01:04:28Three would do it.
01:04:30Four to be sure.
01:04:31Sure.
01:04:31Once it's in,
01:04:32we isolate it,
01:04:33and then we throw
01:04:34everything we got at it.
01:04:35Dr. Murrow?
01:04:36A simultaneous attack
01:04:40combined with
01:04:40EMF bombardment?
01:04:42Even in its battle mode,
01:04:43we might stand a chance.
01:04:45But we'll only have seconds,
01:04:47if that much,
01:04:48before it turns back
01:04:49on its defenses.
01:04:50We should move to the
01:04:51fallout shelter
01:04:52beneath the Capitol building.
01:04:53We'll be much safer there.
01:04:55Agreed.
01:04:56Let's go,
01:04:57everyone,
01:04:57now.
01:04:58Good job,
01:04:59Dr. Murrow.
01:05:06Come on,
01:05:07moving, soldier.
01:05:18Now,
01:05:18it's right at Lafayette Square.
01:05:20It's the perfect place.
01:05:21It's so damn close
01:05:22to the White House.
01:05:22It's indirect paths,
01:05:24or we're gonna have
01:05:24plenty of room.
01:05:25All right, look,
01:05:26no one is gonna miss
01:05:27Andrew Jackson's statue,
01:05:28so go ahead,
01:05:28blow that up.
01:05:30Our EMF generators
01:05:31will be deployed
01:05:31here, here, here,
01:05:33and here.
01:05:34Now,
01:05:34the sphere is gonna
01:05:35destroy the White House.
01:05:36We're gonna weaken
01:05:36the sphere
01:05:37with an EMF pulse blast,
01:05:39and then blow a crater open,
01:05:40drop the sphere
01:05:41into the hole,
01:05:42and then what?
01:05:43A squadron of F-15s
01:05:44from Langley
01:05:45and Sizemore Johnson
01:05:46will target the sphere
01:05:47with its sidewinder missiles.
01:05:48But the sphere
01:05:49has been turning
01:05:50ballistic missiles
01:05:50back on themselves.
01:05:51Yes, sir.
01:05:52That's why we're
01:05:52using multiple waves, sir.
01:05:53The hope is that
01:05:54the sphere will be weakened
01:05:55by the EMF field.
01:05:57Our fighters will be able
01:05:57to launch their missiles
01:05:58then retreat
01:05:59to a safe distance.
01:06:02Attention!
01:06:04Yes, sir.
01:06:08How'd you work?
01:06:10So four squadrons
01:06:11consisting of five F-15s
01:06:13each will attack,
01:06:14then circle back
01:06:15for a second pass?
01:06:16There will be
01:06:16a continuous barrage
01:06:17of bullets and shells
01:06:19as well
01:06:19from our ground forces.
01:06:20So the combined barrage
01:06:23with the EMF pulse blast
01:06:25will weaken it
01:06:25and hopefully burn out
01:06:27the force field?
01:06:28That's our hope, sir.
01:06:31Projected casualties,
01:06:32General.
01:06:34For our ground troops,
01:06:3680%.
01:06:37will be a good man.
01:06:39Accre-sons.
01:06:39Okay.
01:06:40Yes.
01:06:41This is our last stand, sir.
01:06:44Every man and woman
01:06:45on that line understands
01:06:46what will happen here today.
01:06:49And they all show up
01:06:50for duty.
01:06:51Well, let's make sure
01:06:52that this day
01:06:54is a day we can all
01:06:55be proud of,
01:06:56no matter the outcome.
01:06:57Yes, sir.
01:06:59History will judge.
01:07:00Now, we ignored the Rubicon's signal when it first appears.
01:07:05But we will not ignore it now.
01:07:07Now, where is the sphere, and how soon can we be ready to go?
01:07:10It's in direct route for the capital, sir.
01:07:12It's one click out.
01:07:14And it doesn't know that we are here.
01:07:17Another question I have is, why us?
01:07:20Why D.C.?
01:07:21Why isn't it attacked New York or Los Angeles?
01:07:24London, Tokyo, Sao Paulo?
01:07:26Why isn't it attacked the major population centers?
01:07:29It's testing us.
01:07:31It knows that if it can take us down in D.C., then it can take the whole world down with it.
01:07:35Doctor, are you not sure about all this?
01:07:40No, sir. Not entirely.
01:07:42But there has to be a reason why they haven't unleashed their full army yet.
01:07:46Dr. Morrow might be on to something, Mr. President.
01:07:48They could be trying to eliminate their biggest threat.
01:07:51To assert their dominance.
01:07:53Sir?
01:07:55The EMFs are in position.
01:07:57Thank you. It's time.
01:07:58Here we go.
01:07:59All teams ready.
01:08:21Standing by, sir.
01:08:22The field is yours, General.
01:08:23Demolition team, confirm target coordinates.
01:08:28T minus 35 seconds.
01:08:3135 seconds.
01:08:3235 seconds. Copy that.
01:08:39Sky team, land team, on one.
01:08:42Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
01:08:59Engage.
01:09:05Fire in the hole.
01:09:06It's rippling.
01:09:13It's analyzing the attack.
01:09:14Keep it off balance.
01:09:15Keep hitting it.
01:09:20Increase the EMF pulses.
01:09:21Just keep it overwhelmed.
01:09:23Get it in the hole, Morales.
01:09:27Missed.
01:09:28That means it's working, right?
01:09:29Missed.
01:09:30It's in the hole.
01:09:34Blow that damn thing up!
01:09:49Captain, status report.
01:09:52Captain, do you copy?
01:09:54We lost visuals.
01:09:55There's too much smoke.
01:09:56Could we get it?
01:10:00Spotter, target status.
01:10:04Sanders, updates.
01:10:05Ordinance confirmed and deployed.
01:10:09Could we get it?
01:10:10Can't tell.
01:10:11Is there a spectral graph?
01:10:13Anything?
01:10:14There's too much damn smoke.
01:10:17Screw it.
01:10:18Hit it again.
01:10:19All units, resume attack.
01:10:21Fire at will.
01:10:23Blackhawks, EMFs on.
01:10:25Converge on sphere.
01:10:26All teams, danger close.
01:10:28Exercise extreme caution.
01:10:33Anything?
01:10:35Nothing yet, sir.
01:10:44Conline 32 down.
01:10:4743 down.
01:10:48Captain, hello?
01:10:49113.
01:10:51264 down.
01:10:52Captain, status report.
01:10:55What was that?
01:10:55Status report, Captain.
01:11:06Did it work?
01:11:07Does that mean we won?
01:11:09We don't know.
01:11:11You saw how it destroyed everything around it.
01:11:15That was the final death throes of a once formidable enemy.
01:11:20And the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives to see it finally destroyed will not soon be forgotten.
01:11:26On this day, that will be written as a new chapter in American history.
01:11:30One where Americans showed what they do best.
01:11:34We do not bow to those who wish to see us destroyed.
01:11:37We do not bow to those who wish to see us destroyed.
01:11:40You're goddamn right, sir.
01:11:43Mr. President, our contact in Moscow says they're getting some odd readings.
01:11:51Mr. President.
01:11:52Yes?
01:11:53Mr. President, I got a message from the strategic air defense of NORAD.
01:11:58Ten?
01:12:00Ten spheres just dropped into our atmosphere?
01:12:03This is far from over.
01:12:05It's just begun.
01:12:12How did they get here so fast?
01:12:14Weren't they at Jupiter?
01:12:15It doesn't matter.
01:12:16They're here already.
01:12:17That's what that red flash was.
01:12:19They were summoning backup.
01:12:21A beacon.
01:12:22What do we do now?
01:12:23We could barely handle one.
01:12:25All right, Ash.
01:12:26You gotta get down the horn and alert all the world leaders that at least the EMF will potentially stun the sphere.
01:12:32Yes, sir.
01:12:32I'll have my people call right away.
01:12:35We have a few more options on the table, sir.
01:12:38All right.
01:12:38Let's explore the least extreme first.
01:12:41We'll have time for the others later.
01:12:42Sir, we start lobbying nukes at this thing.
01:12:45The entire planet will be uninhabited.
01:12:46We are not lobbying nukes anywhere, okay?
01:12:48We're not lobbying nukes.
01:12:52Relaying our EMF strategy to every military force is a good start.
01:12:56There's not enough EMFs on the planet.
01:12:59Sir, another sphere is headed this way.
01:13:06So we should evacuate while there's still time?
01:13:08No.
01:13:09No, there's nowhere to run.
01:13:10There's no time.
01:13:11I wouldn't leave anyway.
01:13:13But you should all leave now.
01:13:15Not a chance, sir.
01:13:17We have a chance to stop it while we're here, sir.
01:13:19For the sake of the entire planet, I'm...
01:13:21I'm staying, too.
01:13:24Okay.
01:13:26Well, what do we do now?
01:13:28Well, about six years ago, in the previous administration,
01:13:30we approved an orbital satellite carrying ammunitions to ISS.
01:13:34Are you telling me we have a weapons platform in orbit?
01:13:40That's a violation of every international space treaty and agreement, Ash.
01:13:44Understood.
01:13:45But we had reason to suspect the Russians were already doing this.
01:13:48What kind of weapons are we talking about?
01:13:51Missiles?
01:13:52Nukes?
01:13:54EMFs?
01:13:55Lasers.
01:13:55Not EMFs.
01:13:57No.
01:13:58But lasers can be used to generate electromagnetic radiation with any specific wavelength frequency.
01:14:03Hey, Mike, you're lucky.
01:14:07Okay.
01:14:09So where are they?
01:14:10On the International Space Station?
01:14:12No, sir.
01:14:13We never got that far.
01:14:14They're circling the Earth, waiting to be docked.
01:14:16Or launched.
01:14:17We're going to talk about this later, Ash.
01:14:19Can we communicate with these satellites?
01:14:21I need to make a few calls.
01:14:22I can call my kids.
01:14:23Moscow, Paris, and London have just reported this fierce MA landfall.
01:14:29Sir, they've initiated combat, sir.
01:14:34Yeah.
01:14:35God help us.
01:14:43There's no tentative probing anymore.
01:14:46Any engagement is final.
01:14:48Doctor, what's the ETA in this sphere targeting all of D.C.?
01:14:52Honestly, any moment.
01:14:54Unless they're targeting higher population centers like Los Angeles or New York.
01:14:57Listen to me.
01:14:58We are Earth's last hope.
01:15:00We don't get those satellites online.
01:15:02It is over, people.
01:15:04Yes, sir.
01:15:04We called in our last fighters.
01:15:06We're sending up a perimeter of tanks and mobile altitudes.
01:15:09What about the EMF units?
01:15:11We're not sure if they'll still be effective.
01:15:13We have no way to coordinate with the EMFs once they arrive.
01:15:17Skywatch to Talon.
01:15:18Over.
01:15:19Chun?
01:15:20Get him up on comms.
01:15:23Skywatch, Talon here.
01:15:24What's your 20?
01:15:25Prepare to land, Talon.
01:15:26I got a job for you, son.
01:15:29I thought I missed the party.
01:15:31Looks like I'm right on time.
01:15:32Chun, it's so good to hear your voice.
01:15:36My kids.
01:15:37On the outskirts of Pittsburgh right now.
01:15:39We're with parents.
01:15:40Probably eating some cookies.
01:15:43We take care of our own, Doc.
01:15:46General, how can I be of service?
01:15:49Stand by, Captain.
01:15:51Copy that, sir.
01:15:52We're going to zap it first with the EMFs.
01:15:55Then all batteries fire on incoming bogeys.
01:15:58All interceptors fire on incoming bogeys.
01:16:01Take this out of my sky.
01:16:03We're just knocked it off course, that's all.
01:16:17It just bought us some time.
01:16:20Devlin here.
01:16:23We've initiated contact with the orbital platform and are attempting to activate the laser targeting systems.
01:16:29Are we ready?
01:16:32We believe all satellite targeting systems have been successfully activated.
01:16:36What do you mean believe?
01:16:37They've never been tested, sir.
01:16:39Some diagnostics did not respond fully.
01:16:41How many?
01:16:41All of them think they're on, they just never fully passed a weapons check.
01:16:44What does that even mean?
01:16:46If it fails, we'd be alerting the enemy.
01:16:49Now, are we a go, sir?
01:16:51The timing on this is very critical.
01:16:53Every affected country has to know exactly when to blast the sphere, and we will zap them then.
01:17:01Are these satellites in the correct orbital positions to target the spheres?
01:17:05The satellites are in a geostationary orbit, and their weapons are aimed at the same capital cities that the spheres chose to target.
01:17:13We've given every military commander all the info we've learned.
01:17:17I hope it's sufficient.
01:17:18Sir, the sphere is active.
01:17:19We're not ready yet.
01:17:26We need to fire the lasers now, sir.
01:17:28No, you can't defeat the spheres with normal weapons.
01:17:30We need those lasers.
01:17:32We need the EMFs.
01:17:33Have you alerted all the leaders?
01:17:35Russia and Italy are the last ones.
01:17:36Wait.
01:17:38I've got Italy's coordinates.
01:17:39Still waiting on Russia.
01:17:41Sir.
01:17:41Sir, the sphere is three minutes away and closing fast.
01:17:45Hold.
01:17:45Give me the president of Russia on the phone.
01:17:47Give me Captain Jaffe on the line.
01:17:48Line four.
01:17:49Captain Jaffe.
01:17:50What do you need, Doc?
01:17:51Do you still have those portable EMFs from your last skirmish?
01:17:54We have three Blackhawks in the vicinity with the EMFs.
01:17:57Great.
01:17:57Use them to stall the sphere.
01:17:59We just need a little more time.
01:18:01You hear that, Captain?
01:18:02Loud and clear.
01:18:04You stall them, but you do not engage.
01:18:06Copy that.
01:18:08Man, this thing just won't give up.
01:18:10The EMFs are engaged.
01:18:15Is it slowing down?
01:18:16Target locked.
01:18:17Missile away.
01:18:23Contact.
01:18:24Result?
01:18:25Shaker, but not stirred.
01:18:27The sphere is still headed in this direction.
01:18:30How many more missiles do you got?
01:18:31One more.
01:18:32I'm going in close for this one.
01:18:34Sean, remember, no less than 200 feet.
01:18:38No can do, Doc.
01:18:39I'm taking this one ready to its heart.
01:18:41Take care of your family, Doc.
01:18:43We had some great kids there.
01:18:44Charge and ready to deploy, sir.
01:18:46Missile locked.
01:18:47Fire the damn laser.
01:18:49Missile away.
01:18:50Fire.
01:18:59Fire.
01:18:59Fire.
01:19:08Attack it with everything we got left.
01:19:10Fire.
01:19:10Fire.
01:19:15It's getting closer.
01:19:16This will work.
01:19:17It has to.
01:19:18I hope you're right, Doctor.
01:19:26This whole place is coming down.
01:19:27Out.
01:19:28Out.
01:19:28Everyone out.
01:19:29Get the president out of here now.
01:19:30Everybody, let's go.
01:19:31Everyone out.
01:19:32Let's go.
01:19:32Move.
01:19:33Move.
01:19:33Move.
01:19:33Move.
01:19:36Let's go now.
01:19:38Doctor, now.
01:19:38Let's go.
01:19:39Let's go.
01:20:09Hey, I think we found someone.
01:20:23Over here, hurry.
01:20:28I can't believe you two got here so fast.
01:20:30We were right by an airbase, Dad.
01:20:33It was easy to hitch a ride.
01:20:34Especially since everyone wanted to make sure we got here before you woke up.
01:20:38It was all over the news.
01:20:39There were aliens inside the ship.
01:20:42Wait, those weren't drones?
01:20:43No.
01:20:43At least, the ones near Jupiter weren't.
01:20:46But the news said that it was likely the first wave of alien soldiers.
01:20:49But the ships have all been destroyed, and everything inside of them.
01:20:53The president said you did that?
01:20:54You blew them all up?
01:20:56No, we did that.
01:20:58Our team.
01:20:58Well, you guys kicked ass.
01:21:01Marriage for marriage.
01:21:02Marriage for marriage.
01:21:03What about Captain Jaffe?
01:21:06He, um...
01:21:07He kicked the most ass out of any of us.
01:21:13This way, sir.
01:21:14He's just here to be a curtain.
01:21:15I'll tell you about it later.
01:21:16Um, hello.
01:21:17Uh, president and, uh, doctor.
01:21:21Are we supposed to salute that?
01:21:23Is everyone...
01:21:24Everyone made it out of the bunker.
01:21:26Everything's fine, so...
01:21:27We wanted to show you this.
01:21:29What's this?
01:21:31That is your Rubicon signal.
01:21:33You were right all along.
01:21:35You were also right that it didn't matter that there were aliens inside.
01:21:39But as soon as they realized that we could break their toys,
01:21:42they left the playground and went straight home.
01:21:44Let's go.
01:21:44I'm just sorry it took me so long to figure out how to beat them, sir.
01:21:48But you did it.
01:21:51And I want you on my staff, Dr. Morrow.
01:21:54Well, that's...
01:21:55It's very flattering, sir.
01:21:56But, um...
01:21:58I actually wanted to stay out of politics.
01:22:01Well, maybe part-time consultant.
01:22:05You think about it.
01:22:06Your country needs you.
01:22:08Okay.
01:22:10Thank you, sir.
01:22:11Um, I'll...
01:22:12I'll think about it.
01:22:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:22:15Sean.
01:22:16Captain Jaffe?
01:22:17Well, you're alive?
01:22:18Yeah.
01:22:19You're kidding me, right?
01:22:21POTUS, President of the United States,
01:22:23offers you a full-time position,
01:22:25and you'll think about it?
01:22:27What's there to think about?
01:22:29Well, I didn't say no, sir.
01:22:31It's a big decision.
01:22:32Come on, man.
01:22:33So, you must be the young man who first spotted the UAP.
01:22:38On behalf of a grateful country, I want to thank you.
01:22:41Thank you, Mr. President.
01:22:43You know, I could do a lot more if I had a job at NASA.
01:22:47Certainly.
01:22:48Well, the word intern comes to mind.
01:22:51Paid, of course.
01:22:53What about you, young lady?
01:22:55Oh, um, I've had enough space drama
01:22:57to last me a lifetime, so...
01:22:59I understand.
01:23:01Um, however, Earth and environmental studies...
01:23:04Oh, my area of interest.
01:23:06I am in need of an assistant.
01:23:09Oh, a job offer?
01:23:10Mm-hmm.
01:23:11Then I accept.
01:23:13Well, looks like we're going to be in D.C. for a while.
01:23:17Yes, we are.
01:23:18Thank you, Mr. President.
01:23:48Thank you, Mr. President.
