2025 Armageddon (2022) Movie Script

[dramatic music playing]
- [girl] Grandma.
- [woman laughs]
Hey, what are you hiding
behind your back?
Aren't you the smart one?
Grandma brought
you girls a present.
Snakes on a Train?
I thought
they were on a plane.
Well, it's the funny snake movie
you girls wanted to see
when you came to visit,
with that actor who, um...
eh, is in everything.
- We love it. Thank you.
- Aww.
Oh, so welcome,
my sweethearts. Ohh.
So Grandma is gonna
go take a nap, so enjoy.
- We will.
Bye.
You think she forgot
the reason Dad wouldn't
let us see the other one
is 'cause it's R-rated?
[dramatic music playing]
[squelching]
- [screaming on video]
- [growl]
So what's this one rated?
[growl]
- [door opens]
- [video stops]
Is that
the first-place prize winner
you girls are building there?
- I hope so.
- Better be,
because we play to win,
right, Quinn?
Uh-huh.
That-a-girl, Maddie.
Now I want the both of you
to watch your fingers playing
with those magnets, okay?
Oh, don't worry. We're not
gonna get our fingers pinched.
Yeah, we're being super careful.
We don't want to end up
in the emergency room.
- [chuckles]
- Right.
Okay, but your grandma's
upstairs sleeping,
so please keep it down in here.
Don't wake her up. Okay?
I'm gonna go bring
her luggage upstairs.
Quick. Turn it back on.
[static buzzes]
- [crunch]
- Eww.
- He's cutting into his arm.
- Eww, that's so gross.
Shh. Don't want to wake Grandma.
- [glass breaks]
- You're too young to see this.
- [chain saw revving]
- Quit it!
I want to see what happens!
[scream on video]
[birds chirping]
[peaceful music playing]
So how does
your experiment work?
Okay, so see
how the penny won't stick?
But then...
But when we turn the hanger into
a conductor by magnetizing it...
[apparatus hums]
Ah.
You built
a ferromagnetic apparatus.
Aren't you girls
only in the fifth grade?
Brilliant.
Nice.
First-place winners
of this year's
Jefferson School Science Fair,
Madolyn and Quinn Ramsey.
[applause]
Congratulations.
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
[laughter]
[machinery grinds]
[woman] Station,
this is Houston.
We did not copy your last.
Station, I repeat,
confirm thrusters.
This is an actual.
Station,
Control computers are online.
Confirming satellite
relay status.
Maybe it's just
another software glitch.
ISS installed an OPNAV assembly
for Moon imagery collection.
That onboard camera system
should be live.
Patch in. We may be able to see
if the station
has started shifting course.
Got it.
Space Track
at emergency threat level.
Object on course to station,
critical radius.
230 kilometers and closing.
Station, this is Houston.
Near-Earth object on approach.
I repeat,
confirm thruster engageme--
[static crackling]
Station, we did
not copy your last.
N.E.O. on approach!
I have OPNAV camera system
on three-second delay.
It was too early
to move Ramsey
off the TOPO console to FDO.
There's no change
in the OPNAV POV.
They aren't moving.
CapCom, why can't they hear us?
[man] We have incoming.
[alarms blaring]
[woman]
Critical systems failure!
My God.
We've lost ISS.
[alarms continue]
[ominous music playing]
OTC, This is the U.S.S.
Colossus in position alpha.
Awaiting COMEX.
Copy that. Initiating COMEX.
General quarters.
General quarters.
This is a drill.
All hands,
man your battle stations.
COMEX order initiated.
COMEX order initiated.
Commence
enemy-hunting exercises.
We play to win.
This can't be right.
Target submarine no longer
maintaining safe depth,
and it's on approach.
What do you mean, "on approach"?
Colombian Navy understands
the rules
of our warfare exercises.
[man, in Spanish] Mayday!
We're under attack!
It's a creature!
Did he just say, "creature"?
Scanners showing a very large...
unidentified object...
[scanner beeping]
coming at us at 50 knots.
Whatever it is,
Captain, it is--
it is no Colombian Naval sub.
Get a target lock,
and ready missiles.
All hands, this is
Lieutenant Commander Webb.
This is not a drill.
This is not a drill.
General quarters.
General quarters.
All hands,
man your battle stations.
Condition red.
Inbound unidentified
submerged hostile.
Up and forward, starboard side.
Down and aft on the port side.
Approaching outer marker range.
Target up, Captain.
Sink it...
immediately.
Confirm detonation battery.
[scanner beeping]
Bogy incoming, starboard.
All stations, open fire!
Open fire!
[alarm blaring]
Sit report.
Commander,
the hull's been breached.
We're going down.
All hands...
this is
Lieutenant Commander Webb.
Abandon ship without delay.
Abandon ship.
I want everyone accounted for.
[alarms blaring]
Abandon ship.
I repeat, abandon ship.
What is that thing?
Jesus Christ,
look at the size of it!
Looks like
a goddamn piranha fish.
Get to the boats, port side. Go!
Starboard is FUBAR.
Move it.
Captain, it's eating
the goddamn ship.
I said, "Move it."
That's an order.
[machine gun firing]
Get off my ship!
[ominous music playing]
Yes, Mr. President.
That is my understanding
at this time.
But NEOWISE,
Mauna Kea, and CNEOS
all missed this thing
before it was too late.
And I certainly
do share your concern
about the loss of further...
sensitive near-space assets.
I have the ISS Flight Director
in my office at this moment
for debrief.
Yes, sir.
Quinn, what the hell
happened up there?
How can every department
that NASA tasked
to find these things
miss this one?
Space Track was able
to locate the N.E.O.
with enough time to warn ISS to
maneuver out of its trajectory.
So why didn't it?
Communication
between Houston and the ISS
was interrupted,
but that happens on occasion.
- We lost a relay satellite--
- Look...
I understand it's not uncommon
to lose contact
with the space station,
but to do so
moments before the impact
of a near-Earth object?
Quinn, that's not a coincidence.
We don't yet know what it is.
NASA, ESA, CSA,
they've all launched
separate investigations.
Does anyone have any idea
where this thing
originated from?
I have been answering
questions about this
for nine hours straight
at NASA HQ.
If I knew anything else,
I would tell you.
What we do know
is CNEOS confirmed...
that it just...
came out of nowhere.
Tell me how something this large
appears out of thin air.
I get daily briefings
from the DIA on new
and emerging counter space
capabilities of foreign nations,
and each and every one of them
pose a serious threat
to the United States
and its allies' interests.
Space is quickly becoming
the next theater
of combat operations.
We may have a national
security matter on our hands,
and I expect
complete cooperation
from you and everyone
in your department.
What, you don't think I want
to know what happened up there?
After all of the criticism I got
for being the youngest
Flight Director in history
to lead Mission Control?
[sighs]
Sure made history, all right.
Quinn, no one's
blaming you for anything.
[telephone rings]
Ramsey.
Yes, sir.
What--Is everything okay?
I need to clear
the room, please.
I'll arrange
your travel back to Houston
as quickly as possible.
Thanks, Dad.
I can get myself home.
Yes, sir. Sorry.
We've got to stop
scheduling tastings
with wedding caterers
on our lunch break.
My meeting with
the Office of Investigation
is in five minutes, and I still
haven't printed out
the spreadsheets.
Well, at least we didn't spend
an hour and a half
bickering over where to eat.
- Ha! That was funny.
- Was good, right?
I just thought of that
off the top--
Not to mention accurate.
Did you drop off
the rent check this morning
before you left?
Yes. Check dropped off.
Hey, I got time.
I can help you prep
for your IO meeting.
[sighs] Fine.
Knew there was a reason
I decided to marry you.
What's that reason again?
Just so--Just so--For me.
Yeah. Good.
Cool. Thank you.
[stapler clicks]
All right. Let's look here.
- [typing]
- That...
Hey, hon...
are these
the viewership data metrics
for, um, Q2 on the Dbop
streaming service platform?
- Yeah. OI plans
to review the data
related to this indie film
company called The Asylum.
They're infamous
for crappy monster movies.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. What--
What are you
talking about, "crappy"?
Honey, they made Sharknado.
The Sharkna movies.
It's money.
[chuckles] I'm talking about
potential
statistics manipulation.
- Huh.
- Or does it reflect
organic consumer behavior?
They had 81 films
on the Top 100 list
on the Dbop platform
this last quarter.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
It's all coming from
their streaming network,
The Asylum Movie Channel.
Oh, my gosh.
I've seen all these.
Mega Shark
vs. Giant Octopus. Great.
Planet of the Sharks, classic.
San Andreas Mega Quake.
I cried twice.
Triassic World.
Sharknado movies, of course.
Elvis Lives!
I mean, these are great.
When are you
watching this stuff?
Uh, usually when you--
after you go to bed, so...
Maybe you're the reason
for the, uh, trend.
Started in the first quarter
with 61 titles
on the top 100 list.
What? By what metric?
Two minutes viewed?
Ten minutes viewed?
No, all the Asylum movies
saw the biggest increase
in millions of minutes viewed,
more than any other
film or TV content
in the whole six-month period.
No, no, this has
gotta be like a--
like a marketing gimmick, right?
Like a publicity stunt.
I mean, you know
what kind of films they make.
Um, they made
a sequel to Titanic.
No, they made
two sequels to Titanic.
It's a--It's a publicity stunt.
I wouldn't put it past them.
Oh, I thought the same thing,
but that would explain
a spike in one or two films.
This is different.
If they're
profiting off of this,
then it's
some get-rich-quick scam,
but they are no strangers
to, uh, lawsuits.
Hmm. Okay, it says here
an average 74% increase
in repeat viewings,
60% increase in combined
hours watched for Q2.
I mean, either this content's
more popular than ever,
or it's fraudulent statistics.
- Hmm.
- Oh. I gotta go.
They're waiting.
- Okay. Bye.
- Thank you. Love you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Who the heck's been
watching MegaBoa
and 6-Headed Shark
that many times in a row?
Break a leg.
Why did--
I get if it's Bachelor Night.
That movie was...
Actually that movie
was a work of art, actually.
[footsteps crunching]
Hey.
How'd it go?
Ah, about as well
as you can expect.
A marathon
of closed-door sessions
with NASA leadership to go.
But I have news.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
JPL and the Planetary
Defense Coordination Office
reviewed footage from all
of their ground
and space-based telescopes.
Now, PDCO found
something we missed.
There was
a second object in orbit,
small enough
that nobody would tell,
but on the same trajectory,
and dropped out of sight
just seconds
after the asteroid
was picked up by Space Track.
Does that--
How big are we talking here?
PDCO believes it's
about 1.6 meters across,
but no one would see it,
because it approached
on the daylight side
of the Earth
from the direction of the sun.
So what else
do they know about it?
Well, PDCO says it's definitely
an artificial object.
Now, it was dwarfed in size
by the asteroid,
but it wasn't
some piece of space junk
or a defunct satellite
that fell out of trajectory.
Look, we wouldn't
have even seen the thing
if it hadn't come
so damn close to the Earth.
JPL and the PDCO
are both positive
that the smaller object
preceded the second one,
impacting com satellites
in our constellation.
Wait. Wait a minute.
PDCO believes
that the second object
made impact with our satellites?
Yes.
Okay, that might fit
the timeline
for Mission Control
losing contact
and the asteroid
making impact with ISS.
Yeah.
[scoffs]
[steady humming]
[crowd yelling]
What is that?
What is that?
[steady humming]
What is...
Oh.
Honey, d-did you see it?
No. I just got out
of my meeting.
There's--There's a drone
hovering over Manhattan.
It's making this--
this weird noise.
[steady warbling]
There it is. I see it.
Oh, wow.
It's putting on
some kind of light show.
[drone humming]
It's coming back.
It's coming back this way!
[wincing]
[rumbling]
[growling]
Is that a...
I...
[growling]
Aaron, honey,
we gotta get out of here.
- Come on.
- Yeah. Okay, okay.
[growling]
Come on. We gotta go.
I understand. We're evacuating
the building right now.
Sir, we need to get you to
a secure location immediately.
That was the director
of the Secret Service.
He just informed me--
The Capitol is down.
Article One, Section Two
designates you
as the acting president.
I got Marine One waiting.
I need to get you
to Mount Weather.
Sir, we need to leave now.
- Dad.
- Quinn.
They're moving me
to a secure location.
Dad. This is Jerry Ford,
CapCom for my team
at Mission Control.
Sir.
Tom, we have to go.
- We have to go.
- Okay.
[crowd screaming]
[engine thrumming]
Okay.
We're clear. Take off.
The director
of the Secret Service
said that there's been sightings
of UAVs on the National Mall.
I saw it. W-We both did.
I-It flew over
Virginia Highlands Park
and into Washington, D.C.
I-It was cylindrical in shape,
about five feet across,
made an awful humming sound.
And then there was
some red light or beam
that came out of it,
projected on everyone,
and then it just disappeared.
We thought
it was gonna kill us,
and who knows? It might.
I mean, Lord knows what level
of radiation that thing had.
How does that correlate with
the intel we've gathered so far?
The same.
There have been
similar sightings
over Los Angeles, New York,
Chicago, Houston, London, Paris.
But what the heck
are they doing here?
Jesus.
I mean,
look at that son of a bitch.
[dramatic music playing]
[growling]
Something like
those creatures down there...
attacked the U.S.S. Colossus
off the coast of Colombia.
That's privileged information.
Ship was destroyed, sunk.
She's listed as missing,
presumed...
No. [laughs] No, no, no.
She's too much
of a control freak.
She's not gonna die
without dictating
exactly how and
when it happens, down--
Quinn, that's enough!
I won't have you
mocking her like this.
I stood by hoping that
the two of you would reconcile,
because it wasn't
my place to be involved,
but if you have
unresolved issues,
that doesn't give you
an excuse to act like this.
Sir...
it's time to take
the oath of office.
They can witness.
Wait. He could do that here?
Without the Chief Justice?
Yeah. LBJ did it
on Air Force One
when JFK was assassinated.
The Constitution, Article Two,
does not stipulate
who administers it.
[sighs]
I, Thomas Ramsey, do solemnly
swear to faithfully execute
the office of the President
of the United States of America,
to preserve, protect,
and defend the Constitution
of the United States
of America,
so help me, God.
All right.
That's it. Th-That's the drone,
like the one before.
[dramatic music playing]
Oh, my God.
It took out both choppers.
[rumbling]
- [alarm blaring]
- We've been hit!
Oh, crap. That sound
means we're going down.
- Brace for impact.
- How do you know?!
Look, I've flown
enough of these things
to know when we're going down.
Brace for impact, sir.
[alarm continues]
[explosion booms]
ADMIRAL: Jerry didn't make it.
[crashing]
TOM: Quinn, don't move.
Quinn, don't move. Don't move.
You always did suck
at hide-and-go-seek, Quinn.
Madolyn?
Is that you, Madolyn?
That fight must have
damaged both the robots.
It's not responding
to any more of my commands.
Stupid thing
just crapped out on me.
[sighs]
Dad, are you okay?
- I'm--
- Is anything broken?
I'm fine. What happened?
The Navy said you were missing.
I-I saw the footage!
Yeah, I...
- Uh...
- Hey.
Hey.
Sorry.
[clears throat]
Glad you're still alive.
Thanks.
- Yeah.
- Same.
Lieutenant Commander Webb.
You were 48 hours away
from being declared
officially dead.
And I was prepared
to go down with my ship, sir.
I don't remember what happened.
I just got thrown overboard
and was picked up
by a fishing trawler
some nine miles out
from where we sank.
Ended up in Cali, Colombia,
and took a short flight
over to Bogota,
which was soon under attack
by that thing.
That robot?
[chuckles] Yeah.
The Colombian military
took it down, and, uh...
I snuck in and took it.
I had heard reports
that D.C. was under attack,
and I had seen firsthand
what one of those creatures
could do to my ship,
so I decided
I needed an upgrade.
You know, those things can fly.
Nearly killed myself trying.
That looks like our ride.
[helicopter blades thrumming]
Mr. President, welcome
to High Point Special Facility.
I'm Special Agent Lucy Taggart
of the Secret Service.
I've been assigned lead
of your protective detail.
Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff,
Nick Forster,
Lieutenant Commander
Madolyn Webb,
and Dr. Quinn Ramsey of NASA.
Mr. President. Greg Stern,
Federal Protective Services.
On behalf of my entire team
and department, welcome.
Thank you.
How many citizens can we
accommodate in this facility?
Several thousand, sir.
Very good.
I want to open this site
to displaced citizens
from the surrounding counties.
Sir, this facility--
It's a high-end military and
civilian relocation center,
and it's a FEMA command center,
but, Nick, it doesn't
mean a good goddamn
if we can't provide shelter and
aid to those who need it most.
Now, we've got plenty
of room here, right, Greg?
- Yes, sir.
- All right.
I'm gonna turn this over
to the Federal
Protection Services
to work out the details.
Yes, sir.
I'll work with Agent Taggart.
We'll get it done for you, sir.
Very good.
I apologize, Dr. Ramsey.
I can't let you in.
The president's on the phone
with the German chancellor.
Where's the Joint Chief?
[Nick sighs heavily]
This has been a day
of unprecedented challenges
that we don't
even understand fully,
concerning the terrestrial
and marine organisms.
Now, as of an hour ago,
some have been destroyed,
but several are still causing
catastrophic damage
and, so far,
thousands of casualties.
We just found out
10 minutes ago,
a giant snake tried to eat half
a subway train in Tokyo, Japan.
Sir, excuse me.
A snake attacked a train?
Exactly. Shut down
the whole metro system.
Thousands are trapped in trains
and--and stations in Tokyo.
[static crackling]
Aaron, we can't just sit here
and eavesdrop on--
on radio chatter.
Honey, what do you think
I'm trying to do?
All right, look,
we can't blindly drive around
looking for a safe place.
There's just--
There is no safe place.
There's no safe place
in New York.
I mean...
not while there's
a giant monster out there. I--
Ohh. I mean, everything
we own is in a backpack.
- We need a plan, Aaron.
- Okay.
No, honey, don't panic.
Hey, don't panic.
We're gonna get
through this, okay?
We're gonna get
through this together.
You're acting like this is
just another Friday night.
There--There is
a giant crocodile,
a-and a massive shark
just attacked New York,
L.A., Washington.
I mean, a giant snake in Japan?
I can't believe these words
are coming out of my mouth.
Honey, don't panic.
We will get through this
together.
We just need a plan.
We're gonna figure...
We're gonna...
Aaron, what is it?
Honey, do you have
the spreadsheets on you?
Yeah.
How--How does
that have any bearing
with our situation right now?
Just, uh--Just--Just--
No, this--No, no, no.
This can't be right.
Um...
Crocosaurus,
Mega Shark, MegaBoa.
Oh, my God. This--
This can't possibly be real.
What--What is happening? Um...
Okay, um, honey,
uh, just promise me
you won't freak out, okay?
[laughs] You're--
You're scaring me.
- Okay, okay, just--
- What is happ--
All of the monsters
that we're seeing
are from the movies
on this list.
I know, I know, but they're
all appearing right here,
even in this order so far.
And this is happening right now.
[laughs]
Eh, no.
Y-Yes. Yes. Okay--
- No, that--
- I know you're freaking out.
- You sound insane, honey.
- I'm freaking out.
Th-That's crazy.
We have to tell somebody, okay?
We have to go now.
We have to tell somebody
what's happening,
- because this is on the list.
- [laughs]
Okay, okay. I know.
I know it sounds nuts.
- Ugh.
- I know it sounds crazy,
but I think this is the play,
so just can--can I drive?
No. No, absolutely not.
Where--Where do you
think we're going?
Can I...
No. I'm driving.
All right.
While our understanding
of these creatures is limited,
Lieutenant Commander Webb here
has engaged them
on two separate occasions.
Lieutenant Commander.
Thank you, Admiral.
First thing to know is
that they are vulnerable.
They can be defeated.
They also seem to come
in two different forms,
organic, which appear
to be gigantic mutations and--
crocodile, an octopus, a snake,
like what attacked D.C., Tokyo,
and my ship
in the Colombian sea.
The other is synthetic,
which so far, appear to be
in the form of giant robots,
one of which
I was able to commandeer.
Hold up.
You piloted a giant robot?
Like, for real?
Yeah. When I fought
the other one, yeah.
So who was
piloting the other one?
Nobody. Seemed to be running on
some sort of advanced AI system.
[scoffs] Let me
get this straight.
We're under attack
by mutant fish,
wildlife, and Skynet?
At the same time?
Yeah. Why not just pick one?
It took just one
of those creatures
to sink a U.S. Navy warship
and kill 99 of my men and women.
The organics have shown
incredible aggression
and strength
unlike anything the military
has ever faced before.
The synthetics,
on the other hand,
I believe that they
can be reprogrammed.
This is Dr. Ramsey from NASA.
Excuse us.
I collected blood samples
from the mega piranha
off of Madolyn's uniform.
It appears to be
extraterrestrial.
These things are aliens?
The drone. Um, every time
one of those creatures attacked,
a drone was seen flying nearby.
So are we to assume
that those drones
are extraterrestrial as well?
Well, there's only
one way to find out.
A-A Navy chopper
shot one of the drones down.
I-I need to go there,
and hopefully it's still intact.
Quinn, I will send
an extraction team instead.
No, no, no.
I-I need to go there.
I need--I need to look at it.
I need to see how it works.
I need to figure it out.
A-An extraction team isn't
gonna know what to look for.
You don't know
what you're looking for.
You run Mission Control.
What do you know
about alien tech?
The extraction team
will bring back
whatever there is to bring back,
but I've got a call
in 10 minutes
with the Japanese
Prime Minister
to reassure him
that our alliances
and cooperation
on global security
extend naturally to the possible
invasion from another world.
- Excuse me.
- Under--Understood, sir.
How would you know
anything about me, Madolyn?
You don't know the first thing
about me or what I'm capable of.
Which is just how you wanted it.
Wrong. It's how you wanted it.
Oh, I got the message
- loud and clear.
- Mm.
You didn't have time
for me anymore.
Okay, why is that, exactly?
I mean, is it because
I stopped letting you dictate
when we were gonna hang out,
how, where?
Okay. Yeah, sorry.
I was just trying
to have a relationship
- with my only sister.
- [scoffs]
And one of us
had to make the effort.
[laughs] How?
By--By making fun of everything
I've ever cared about?
That is really, really
making an effort, Madolyn.
Ah, the Fourth of July weekend.
That--That's what you're
talking about, right?
Oh, you love to bring that up
when you want to make a point.
Okay, Quinn, yes,
I was lashing out.
I was upset.
Everything with you
has to be a competition.
I mean, it happened
even when we were younger.
Who got the best grades,
who was better at sports.
And you know what?
You never grew out of it.
I'm your sister.
We were supposed to be a team.
You are the person
I shared all my secrets with,
and we would watch--
we would watch
scary movies together
that we were too young for. I--
Right.
Best friend?
Yeah, sure.
You know what? I'm done.
I'm done with this.
It's--It's obvious that
you and I have grown apart,
a-and this is what it is.
[ominous music playing]
Wait, what did you say?
I said we've grown apart.
Yeah, I got that.
I'm talking about
when we were kids,
the movies
that we used to watch.
That's where I remember it from.
What? Remember what?
The snake attack,
the one in Tokyo.
What are you talking about?
A gigantic snake tried
to eat a subway train in Tokyo.
Okay, when did this happen?
It was called
Snakes on a Train.
I know, Quinn. Thank you.
The Asylum Movie Channel?
Yeah, why don't you click on it?
Okay.
Can you--Slow down.
You're going too fast.
Oh, these are
some interesting titles--
Aquarium of the Dead,
Android Cop,
Airplanes vs. Volcano.
Oof. I wonder
what that one's about.
Guessing a plane
fights a volcano.
My money's on the volcano.
Smart.
Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That one. Uh, it's...
Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus.
That--That looks exactly
like what attacked
the National Mall.
- Does it?
- Yeah.
Hmm.
Quinn...
that's what attacked my ship.
Simultaneous targets
progressing as expected.
Humans. They are as naive
as they are arrogant.
And resilient.
The human impulse for
aggression cannot be ignored.
But lacking intelligence.
The Chamber of Xeli
verified these chronicles
depict human culture
and their mythology,
stories of the Earth's
fantastic myths and behemoths
rooted in human historical fact.
- Hmm.
- Look.
Earth was once dominated
by an empire
of prehistoric beasts,
which then gave the uprise
to an empire of sharks,
according
to these human chronicles.
Target next weapons package
to highly populated coordinates.
Targets are ready and assigned.
[sighs]
Maybe it's best
to temper your zeal
for this simple act
of annihilation,
or else you may be
called out of stratagem
by the Superior.
There is nothing simple
in what I'm about
to inflict upon them.
[earpiece warbles]
[static crackles]
The Superior has summoned you.
[console beeping]
My review of the vessel's
operations records
show that you have
not yet commenced
Ontogenesis conversions.
The approved stratagem
must not be diverted from.
We can ill afford deviations
of the stratagem
at a time when victory
is most critical
to the preservation of our race.
My Superior, the humans
possess defense capabilities.
They have yet
to engage against us.
You were not my first choice.
Your reputation
as a headstrong commander
with a tendency
towards the sadistic
has made you a poor candidate
for this campaign,
despite
your qualified war record.
But the Chamber of Xeli
has shown favor in you,
so I shall remind you only once.
The humans must be spared
at all possible opportunities,
or we shall not survive.
Is that understood?
Understood, My Superior.
Commence the Ontogenesis phase
on stratagem,
or I shall reassign the command
structure of this vessel.
[crowd yelling]
Well, there's no one around.
It's looking shady.
Maybe he's sleeping.
Maybe.
All right, who are you,
and how'd you find
your way up to my room?
Uh, Field Agent Wilson.
Uh, this is Farmer.
We'd like to speak with you.
Um, those creatures,
they're similar
to the ones that--
You starred in the movies.
Uh, we're just hoping
you can shed some light
on the subject.
Yeah, sure.
Come on in. I know stuff.
- Come on. Come on in.
- O-Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
[sirens blaring outside]
The things that
have been attacking us,
they--they're creatures
from a series of movies
from a film studio
called The Asylum.
You want
to run that by me again?
[sighs]
All right. See this?
This is what happened to
the U.S.S. Colossus, all right?
Get a good look.
This is actual size.
But now these things are here.
How is that possible?
We think
it has something to do
with the unidentified drones
that have appeared
at each of the incidents.
So then where are
the drones coming from?
Who's sending them?
A-A shark this big
has attacked several vessels
and Navy bases
on the Eastern Seaboard.
Navy intelligence seems to think
that, uh, it's part of
just being territorial, right?
Everything's been focused around
Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
It's like it's
protecting a boundary.
That's only
about three hours from here.
I mean, maybe that's where
the drones are coming from.
How do we kill that?
[festive music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[ominous music playing]
So where we're going
is an honest-to-God
top-secret federal facility.
I kid you not.
In fact, they probably won't
even let us in the place.
They're probably gonna tell us
that there's nobody there.
But you know what?
Do not believe them.
I was up for the part
of a double agent
in a Chris Nolan film.
You know Chris Nolan?
Good director, man.
[scoffs] Good friend, too.
Anyway, so you know
how I like to--
I like to get into the part,
you know,
so, uh, I tried
to break into this place.
Uh, what happened?
Oh, they caught me. [chuckles]
But that's cool, because
I used it in the audition.
You know, you gotta
set the stakes really high.
As long as we're not driving
for five hours for no reason.
Not a waste of time, kids.
I'm telling you.
But this is the real deal.
Yeah, yeah.
It is a real place.
They even shoot
a lot of episodes of TV here.
They shot the second season
of Z Natio here,
which is
a great show by the way. Um...
Yeah. You see?
Boyfriend here gets it.
- Um...
- May I help you?
We're from the FCC,
and I know this is
gonna sound odd,
but we have information
that we think might be
of use, at least we hope.
What kind of information?
Uh, information
about the Dbop streaming app
for The Asylum's
movie channel.
You said you're from the FCC?
You have any credentials
to back that up?
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh. Yeah.
Just one second.
Field Agent, huh?
- Yeah, New York office.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, um...
so this is the list
of all The Asylum titles.
I mean, there's been, like,
a 74% increase in--
in repeat viewings
and 60% increase
in the combined hours viewed.
- Okay, okay, hold on.
Relax, okay?
Sir, it's like she said.
We may be able to be
of some service to you
in this time
of national emergency.
We didn't drive five hours
to waste your time or ours.
- Okay.
- [footsteps approach]
Officer Stern.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah.
These, uh, individuals
say they have
some information for us.
They did actually mention
the movie studio
by name, though.
That one, Secret Service.
President must be here.
How do you know?
Look at her right hand.
See that scar?
That's from a rubber bullet.
They have to train with them.
They get shot with them
in Secret Service training.
They try to shoot at the limbs,
you know, so as
not to cause any damage.
Yeah, I got one.
Same scar, yeah.
Yeah, we were
up for the same role,
me and Clint,
In the Line of Fire.
[chuckles]
I started training early.
Yeah. They--
They went with older.
That's how it is
in Hollywood sometimes.
TAGGART: You're that actor.
Yeah, I thought
I recognized you.
Can I help you?
I think we
may be able to help you.
These FCC agents have
put together a-a line of clues
that I think
may give you an idea
of what's causing all these
problems that you're having.
STERN: Okay.
They do have active FCC I.D.s.
Run it through cross-check.
Corporal, run this for me.
We're being attacked
by monsters
from movies on this list.
The creatures
that attacked us
have been following
the order on this list.
There's a list? What order?
Yeah, look at this list,
The Asylum titles
from the top down.
MADOLYN: We know
about their movies,
but do you know
about their order?
These creatures and events
have happened already.
Okay. Asteroid-a-geddon.
Remember that one?
It's a--It's a big asteroid
collides with the
International Space Station.
Okay. Uh, all right.
Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus.
It's self-explanatory.
Uh, two attacks, both attacks,
one in New York and L.A.
Washington, D.C.
That's-- Megaboa. Yeah.
On the news, it said
one showed up in Japan.
Asteroid-a-geddon.
An asteroid collides with
the International Space Station
and its satellites.
So why didn't it just hit us?
I mean, you only need one
asteroid to wipe out humanity.
Is there any way
to determine...
who watches these?
That might give us a clue
in who's behind all this.
And by the way, we still have
a gigantic prehistoric shark
on the loose.
The way to kill a mega shark
is with a mecha shark.
I ought to know.
I was in the movie.
That's how we did it.
A mecha shark?
Yeah. Yeah, a mecha shark.
It's a giant submarine,
all equipped
with special weapons,
special tactics.
That's how we did it.
Oh, hey, guys...
this next title on the list...
we got a new problem.
Six of them, actually.
Continue on your present course
headed northeast, three miles.
When those creatures
cross paths,
they're gonna
turn on each other.
Yeah, and if this
doesn't work, then what?
That poor pig
is gonna be lunch.
Humans successfully
lured the weapons
to clash with one another.
- [bangs console]
- How is this possible?!
The humans
were too well prepared
for our next weapon
and our attack stratagem.
They anticipated it,
and they lured it
and used it against us!
But that is contrary to reason.
It would suggest
advanced knowledge
of the stratagem
on their part.
I find that explanation
unfathomable.
We must engage as if
the humans have gathered
sufficient intelligence
in our next stratagem.
Come on, Quinn. Think about it.
A massive asteroid
strikes the ISS and sat-coms.
Why go through all the trouble
to attack Earth
when that space rock
could have just hit us,
wiped us all out?
Okay, but none
of the NASA trajectory models
had Earth
anywhere near its path.
I mean, that's pre- or post-ISS.
What does that mean?
It means that the asteroid
was always aimed
at ISS and the satellites.
There was no other path.
Yeah, but why not?
Okay, PDOC said that there
was a second object
that was going along
the same path as the asteroid.
Okay, but the asteroid
doesn't hit Earth,
which is then under attack.
Okay, why not?
If the drones
are connected to the attacks,
I ask you again, Quinn,
why didn't it just hit us?
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know, Madolyn.
I mean, maybe--maybe it was
never meant to kill us.
Uh, yeah, those creatures
have already killed
thousands of us.
Okay, yeah, I know.
And look at the rest of us.
We're all in hiding.
Easier to kill.
Maybe we don't know the true
face of our attacker yet.
I mean, without that, we won't
be able to establish motive
or intent for these attacks.
Maybe...
Maybe there's a reason
we're not all dead yet.
I bet you five bucks
you're wrong.
[chuckles]
[mocking]
"Bet you five bucks..."
No, I am not gonna
bet you five bucks.
God, what--Spare me.
Spare me the stupid saying
you used to say all the time.
What was it? "Play to win."
Is that--something like that.
It's not stupid. That's...
It's not stupid.
Oh, no, it totally wasn't.
You know,
I used to get so mortified
when you would
just say it in gym class.
You thought you were so cool.
You were so not.
Whatever, Quinn.
[chuckles]
Uh, did you--
did you bring that?
Of course not.
I haven't seen
that thing in years.
Thought it got thrown away
when Dad moved to Washington.
I would never throw that away.
Give me that.
This stays on my desk.
When we had to evacuate,
this is one of the few
personal items I took with me.
You know, this was--this is one
of the proudest days of my life,
watching you two girls develop
and construct that project.
You thought out
all the precious details,
and you worked together...
not just like sisters,
but more like,
I don't know, best friends
that loved each other.
I remember that that was
the ferromagnetic apparatus.
Yeah, with the penny
and the coat hanger.
Everybody was so impressed
at the complexity
of the project that
two little girls would choose.
You know, I think it was
my idea to build it first.
[laughs]
- Quinn.
- I doubt that.
Yeah, but who can really
remember at this point?
[knock at the door]
[ominous music playing]
What's going on?
- Sir.
- Sir...
we should take you
and your family
to an underground bunker
beyond Main Support Command.
There's been a sighting
of an unidentified aircraft
operating at a low altitude.
I suggest we take
precautionary action
until the UAS is confirmed
and controlled.
Let's go.
- Sounds like a good idea to me.
- Hup!
Was that another one
of those drones?
No, that's something bigger,
much bigger.
Well, did the extraction team
pick up the drone
we shot down yet?
Not as of yet.
All armed personnel
on the facility
- are on high alert.
- Hmm.
Sir, with all due respect,
we're gonna need something
a whole lot stronger
and more effective.
Quinn, I want you
to draft a full report
of the blood analysis
you conducted.
We have to get that info to
the intel agencies as soon as--
Quinn and Madolyn?
What happened?
Please, sir,
remain inside the bunker.
Officer Stern and I
will locate them.
We'll find them, sir.
QUINN: We have a problem.
Both of the robots
were destroyed in the fight.
Yeah, but we only need one
to get back online.
Okay. I guess--
I guess the one
that wasn't bashed in the head
by Marine One
might be our best bet.
Yeah, well,
the one I was piloting
just shut down on me,
though, after the fight
without warning, just kaput.
So these really aren't built
for close-quarter combat.
Well, yeah, we smashed
each other pretty good,
but I didn't think it was enough
to, like,
shut down the whole rig.
Huh. I wonder if
the artificial synthesis
that--that we found
in the blood on your jacket,
I wonder if the robots share
the same molecular structure.
What do you mean?
The artificial synthesis
creates a vulnerability
of some sort?
Yeah, I-I mean, it could
trigger a breakdown
at the cellular
or molecular level.
O-Okay, wait.
What's breaking them down?
Okay, guys, guys, look. I think,
I mean, at this point...
it's aliens.
Am I right?
I'm sure we all noticed
those weird drones
hovering above the city, right?
I mean, guys, come on.
Giant monsters
straight out of the movies,
huh, with
extraterrestrial blood
and unstable DNA? I mean...
If I'm following
you guys correctly,
which I think I am,
I think it's just--it's aliens.
I mean, you said it yourself.
Anytime these drones
appear, right,
one or two or more
of these creatures attack,
and I--Honestly, I think
it would be safe to assume
that, um, it's these drones
that are creating
these creatures.
Creating them how?
That's a good question.
Um, I think--Think of it
like a 3-D printer.
Okay, same idea,
but you need
the correct data file, right?
And without it,
anything that you're printing
will essentially--
will have weaknesses
and, um, will fall apart.
Aaron, you don't
actually think
aliens are watching
these movies?
I mean, that's the only thing
that explained
the insane jump in viewership,
A-And it really
does support your idea
of, you know,
artificial synthesis, right?
Okay, so, uh...
when someone or something,
right, streams a movie,
so the Dbop app sends
a signal to determine...
what kind of device you're
watching the movie on, right?
So, for instance,
let's say, I don't know,
you're watching something
in 4K or standard def, right?
The signal
will stream your movie
in the proper resolution.
[scoffs]
But if these are aliens,
then they'd have,
like, 16K technology by now,
the highest resolution
in the universe. [laughs]
Yes, and you're right, honey.
And let's assume
that they do have that.
But the Dbop app
cannot broadcast in 16K,
and most importantly,
it won't recognize
this new alien technology.
So that means if the signal
doesn't recognize the device,
it automatically defaults
to load on the poorest
connection quality.
We're talking about a streaming
at poor-quality resolution.
Let me get this straight.
You're saying
that the--the aliens are
3-D printing these creatures
in low-resolution data
from the Dbop app?
Yes, the lowest
resolution quality
that's visible
on the streaming service.
And that's what's causing them
to break apart?
Mm-hmm.
That might explain
the accelerated decomposition.
So...
the robots are in pieces?
Okay, so if--
if the decomposition
happens at the same rate
of speed as the blood...
But I won't know for sure
until I can see
how those drones operate.
Well, there's gotta be some way
to at least get
one of them back online.
But it's gonna be
pointless to do that
unless we can figure out a way
to keep the robots
from--from collapsing
once we get them back online.
BOTH: Electromagnets.
Strong enough to attract
a few thousand pounds of weight
and keep the robot
from collapsing in on itself
when it tries to stand or walk.
And when it tries to fight,
we'll have to account
for the weight bearing,
impact absorption,
stress-pressure rates,
punch-speed acceleration.
Otherwise, it's gonna
be useless in battle.
- Yes, ma'am.
- [chuckles]
You know, I think
this is the first time
we've agreed on anything
in 10 years.
Oh, I think it's been longer
than that, like 15, maybe.
No, no, no, no. I think
it's probably not that long.
Ah, of course
you would think that.
Well, agree to disagree.
Apparently
that's what we do best.
All right!
Let's get to work.
We shot the drone down
on our way here.
I'm not sure how much of it
is still gonna be intact,
but we need to get
all the pieces we can.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Mm.
[sighs] Dr. Ramsey.
I've come to take you
to the president's bunker.
No, absolutely not.
We're--We're on our way
to find
some very important tech.
It's not safe
out there, Doctor.
Then come with us
i-if that's gonna make you
or my father feel better.
Look, I have them.
We could always use more.
There's safety
in numbers, right?
[sighs]
Fine. You know what?
Tell my father
you couldn't find me
or--or that I refused
and I left the facility.
It's up to you.
Lieutenant Commander Webb's
already departed.
Her team is en route.
Last chance, Officer.
Do you want to ensure my safety?
We're moving.
All right. Let me gear up.
Madolyn...
we're on our way
to recover the drone.
Copy that, Quinn.
We're about half a mile
out from the site.
Be careful out there.
QUINN: You do the same.
You got a 20
on Quinn and Madolyn?
I've been informed
they both left the facility.
The Lieutenant Commander's
assembled a team
to prepare one of the robots.
Dr. Ramsey went
to get the drone.
I thought we were sending
the extraction team for that.
We called it off to fortify
the defenses of this facility,
but Dr. Ramsey
thought differently.
Operation MechaShark
is in the final stages
of preparation.
Now, the Navy is
almost done retrofitting
active duty and
declassified submarines.
Megalodon is dead.
No, my mission failed.
Conventional weapons are not
adequate against these things,
and we have to assume there's
going to be another attack.
No signs of any wreckage yet.
You sure we're
in the right area?
Yeah. I got
some metal over here.
I'm not sure, but it looks
like it's from the chopper.
No, that's--
that's from the wreckage.
We're definitely
in the right area.
Hey, hey, get down.
Get down. Get down.
That's a ship.
They have the drone.
And they look...
human.
Damn it. Drone's airborne.
[sighs] We're too late.
All right,
let's get back to the facility.
On me.
Quinn, I'm gonna need...
Where is she?
Damn it.
Put a leash on that girl...
Come on.
[gasps]
[groaning]
[groaning]
[tense music playing]
[consoles beeping]
Well, this definitely
isn't one of ours.
MADOLYN:
That looks good, Gretchen.
- You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.
Now, we've got to keep
these electromagnets strong,
keep the voltage up,
drive high amounts
of current through it
at all times, okay?
Okay.
- Hey, honey.
- I need this.
Yeah.
Hey, hey. Hey. One of--
One of those drones is back.
The--The beam's
a different color.
All right, come on.
We can't let it see us.
Let's go.
Oh, man. That's one of the ones
Quinn was trying to retrieve.
We gotta get
this electromagnetic rig
on this hunk of junk, or we're
gonna be in big trouble.
Quinn, are you there?
I need you to respond.
Quinn, respond. Over.
- [growling]
- [yelps]
- [screams]
- Agh!
- [grunts]
- [growling]
[yelps] Wait, wait.
Go this way!
- We better get out of here.
- This way! Follow me!
Let's go!
Get away! Come on!
Come on! Go! Keep going!
[groaning]
They usually don't do that.
This way. Go. Come on.
[panting]
Okay.
[distant groaning]
This place looks deserted.
Okay. Listen.
We--We have to watch out
for mass coronal
ejections, okay?
Because I doubt the locals
wanted to hit the zoo
with those giant creatures
wreaking havoc
for 24 hours, right?
[animal roar echoes]
What the hell was that?
- Let's keep moving.
- Okay.
- Damn it! They're in!
- [zombies growling]
Let's keep moving.
Keep moving.
- [yelps]
- Jeez!
[gasping]
The animals are on the loose!
Something's wrong with it. Wait.
[screaming]
- [screams]
- Get it off, babe!
- Help me.
- Oh, my God!
Aaron! No!
No! No!
No!
- Oh, my God.
- No!
[sobbing]
- He's dead.
- I--
- I'm not leaving him.
- We've gotta go.
- We gotta go!
- No!
[groaning]
If we don't go, we're all dead.
[boots clomping]
[pressurized gas hisses]
[conversing in alien language]
[console beeping]
[tense music playing]
Officer Stern, Corporal McKee.
Where are the others?
Private, where's Dr. Ramsey?
My mistake.
Uh, Dr. Ramsey's
already returned.
There's still no word
from Madolyn or Quinn.
Nothing yet, Tom.
But I know
Special Agent Taggart
is in contact with
Officer Stern and his team.
[ominous music playing]
[rumbling]
Madolyn, do you copy?
Okay, now that we've got
all the batteries secured
to the frame, we're gonna
have to manually rewire
all the components
of the robot that fell apart.
Okay?
Madolyn, do you copy?
[tense music playing]
[radio beeps]
QUINN: I'm on a transport ship
about three miles offshore.
[radio squelch]
Madolyn, come in.
Split up.
Find the evacuees.
Proceed with
the Ontogenesis phase.
Find their president.
The humans trust him.
They'll follow him.
I'll alert the mother ship
of the stowaway in transport.
What is it, Agent?
It's time to go from here.
[gun fires]
[panting]
They're aliens, sir.
We're under attack by some
sort of extraterrestrial race.
We encountered them when
we were looking for the drone.
Now they've injected something
into Stern and Taggart here.
It'll rip
their circulatory systems
from their bodies
and turn them into...
that.
What--Wait, what do you mean?
You're saying that they
turned their blood
into an alien creature?
Why did they look
like Taggart and Stern?
These things
can shape-shift, sir.
Son, give me that gun.
Oh, no. I'm not one of them.
I've been bluffing
the whole time.
I've got them to trust me.
Good, good.
You did--You did good.
Now give me the gun.
Do it now!
Yes, sir.
President's the key to all this.
If they can transform you
into an alien,
they're gonna turn
everyone in the human race
into one mega alien race.
That's not gonna happen.
Dr. Ramsey's
on their transport.
They've got Quinn hostage?
She's trying to radio
Lieutenant Colonel Webb,
but no response.
Quinn, can you hear me?
Quinn?
Dad, listen to me.
We are underwater.
The mother ship
is in the Atlantic Ocean.
[tense music playing]
[speaking alien language]
Quinn, can you hear me?!
We need to mobilize
our attack immediately, sir.
I can't
until I know where she is.
Mr. President, if we don't act,
it's gonna be too late.
And your daughter
is inviting us.
If she's on that alien ship
I can't!
I can't do it, Nick!
Tom, the lives
of millions of people
hang in the balance here.
If Quinn understood that,
she understood the sacrifice.
Now, Naval intelligence has
detected an active volcano
under the surface
of the ocean in that area.
Let's load those mecha sharks
with GOTA explosives,
and we can trigger the volcano.
And what good will that do?
It's a failsafe.
Sir, I'm waiting
for your decision.
Deploy.
Yes, sir.
We gotta get
the president out of here.
There's no telling how many
people turned into those things.
The evacuees we brought in,
there's hundreds of them.
They infiltrated
the FPS facility.
This whole place
is gonna go under.
Mount Weather's compromised.
It's no longer safe
for the POTUS to be here.
- We have to get him out.
- No.
We can still save
the evacuees.
The FPS may still be stopped.
Come on.
[electricity crackles]
[controls humming]
All right, let's do this.
Robot's online.
So far, so good.
Here goes.
The Ontogenesis phase has begun.
We started transforming humans
into more of our own kind.
They have returned
from the shelter facility,
where hundreds more await,
including their president.
You two have done well.
Humans have cowered in fear
from the might of our campaign.
Now we begin to repopulate
and return our dying species
to the proud and noble race
it once was.
Witness Xelitian power
regain our dominance
in the galaxy.
Quinn, I got this sucker
up and running.
[chuckles] It's working.
What's your 20?
Madolyn, is that you?
Where are you now?
I got the robot back online.
Dad, are you okay?
Where's Quinn?
Sir, wait. Don't.
She could be
one of them by now.
Don't be absurd, Private.
She's my daughter.
She'd die first.
Sir, he's right.
We can't risk it.
I don't know where she is.
[screams echoing]
That screaming, the evacuees.
We're too late.
The FPS has reached
the safety area.
We have to try and help 'em.
Sir, the transformation
is hideous and quick.
If we go down there,
we'll suffer the same fate.
We have to get you out
of Mount Weather immediately.
There's hundreds of evacuees.
And hundreds of aliens.
If they breach the perimeter,
if they get out of here...
they're out.
Thousands, millions
will be turned.
There won't even be
a human race anymore.
We have to destroy
Mount Weather.
Maddie, bring that robot
to Mount Weather on the double.
- [screaming continues]
- MAN: Help!
One of the weapons
is back online.
What?
Moving towards
Mount Weather facility
and all the new spawn
growing within.
[tense music playing]
[speaking alien language]
[drone humming]
There's another one
of those drones flying over us.
I'd rather
take my chances out there
- than what's in here with us.
- No!
We can't let what's in here
with us get out there,
not by any means.
[growling]
All right,
you ugly son of a bitch.
Let's go.
[speaking alien language]
- Tom--
- I am not deserting my post.
If they get me,
then Madolyn can wipe
them all out with her robot.
[screams echoing]
[controls whining]
It's failing.
[grunts]
Whoa.
Sh--
- Madolyn. Ma--
- [screams echoing]
Here they come.
There's no way
we're gonna get home.
We'll get as many
as are in this clip.
[gunfire]
[groans]
[alarms beeping]
Dad!
Dad, do you copy?
[distant explosions booming]
Dad, the robot's all messed up.
Dad, do you copy?
Are you there?
[growling]
[speaking alien language]
Oh, h-hang on. Hang on.
Hang on. Hang on.
Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
- I'm unarmed.
- [hisses]
Hey, look. Look, look, look.
I'm from NASA.
I'm from NASA. I'm from NASA.
Hey, whoa. Hey, look.
Look. Look, look.
- Ho oh oh.
- [breathing heavily]
No, look!
It's a radio.
See? It's harmless.
It's harmless.
[winces]
- See?
- [teeth chattering]
It's a trophy. I-I won this.
I-I put it in my bag
by accident,
a-and I wanted
to keep it safe, so...
- [clicking tongue]
- Yeah.
- [clicking tongue]
- [gasps]
[clang]
[wailing]
[groaning]
[moaning]
[console beeping]
[roars]
No! No!
No!
- [clang]
- [all moaning]
Yes. [grunts]
[alarms blaring]
[console beeping]
Okay.
QUINN: Okay.
[growling]
[shrieks]
Easy. Easy.
There's no time.
There's no time.
Take cover! Take cover!
Dad, take cover!
That's--That's not my dad.
Oh, man.
They're all getting out!
[tense music playing]
Alien spaceship
fights a tornado.
I'll let you know
who wins, Maddie.
I love you.
[energy crackling]
Quinn!
- Quinn.
- [grunts]
- Quinn, are you okay? You okay?
- [coughing]
[gasps]
[laughs]
[sighs]
You, um...
You owe me five bucks.
- [scoffs]
- [laughs]
The--The asteroid,
it was never meant to hit Earth.
They needed us,
humans, to repopulate
their species.
Yeah, those things, they, um...
they got into the facility,
and they turned everyone into...
whatever.
Dad?
Mm-mmm.
But he kept them from turning
any more of us into one of them.
He was a hero,
and he saved our lives.
[chuckles]
We can't let that be in vain.
He would have--
He would have already started
helping rebuild the world.
Do you think
that we could do that
as friends, instead of rivals?
I know that was my idea.
[chuckles]
Peace.
[laughs]
Honestly, Quinn,
I don't even know anymore.
[chuckles]
Okay.
Fine.
[together] Agree to disagree.
- [laughs]
- Oh, my God.
[sighs]
Let's get up.
What are you doing
fighting aliens?
[sighs]
- [winces]
- Just--
- You okay?
- Yeah.
All right.
[groans]
[dramatic music playing]
- [girl] Grandma.
- [woman laughs]
Hey, what are you hiding
behind your back?
Aren't you the smart one?
Grandma brought
you girls a present.
Snakes on a Train?
I thought
they were on a plane.
Well, it's the funny snake movie
you girls wanted to see
when you came to visit,
with that actor who, um...
eh, is in everything.
- We love it. Thank you.
- Aww.
Oh, so welcome,
my sweethearts. Ohh.
So Grandma is gonna
go take a nap, so enjoy.
- We will.
Bye.
You think she forgot
the reason Dad wouldn't
let us see the other one
is 'cause it's R-rated?
[dramatic music playing]
[squelching]
- [screaming on video]
- [growl]
So what's this one rated?
[growl]
- [door opens]
- [video stops]
Is that
the first-place prize winner
you girls are building there?
- I hope so.
- Better be,
because we play to win,
right, Quinn?
Uh-huh.
That-a-girl, Maddie.
Now I want the both of you
to watch your fingers playing
with those magnets, okay?
Oh, don't worry. We're not
gonna get our fingers pinched.
Yeah, we're being super careful.
We don't want to end up
in the emergency room.
- [chuckles]
- Right.
Okay, but your grandma's
upstairs sleeping,
so please keep it down in here.
Don't wake her up. Okay?
I'm gonna go bring
her luggage upstairs.
Quick. Turn it back on.
[static buzzes]
- [crunch]
- Eww.
- He's cutting into his arm.
- Eww, that's so gross.
Shh. Don't want to wake Grandma.
- [glass breaks]
- You're too young to see this.
- [chain saw revving]
- Quit it!
I want to see what happens!
[scream on video]
[birds chirping]
[peaceful music playing]
So how does
your experiment work?
Okay, so see
how the penny won't stick?
But then...
But when we turn the hanger into
a conductor by magnetizing it...
[apparatus hums]
Ah.
You built
a ferromagnetic apparatus.
Aren't you girls
only in the fifth grade?
Brilliant.
Nice.
First-place winners
of this year's
Jefferson School Science Fair,
Madolyn and Quinn Ramsey.
[applause]
Congratulations.
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
[laughter]
[machinery grinds]
[woman] Station,
this is Houston.
We did not copy your last.
Station, I repeat,
confirm thrusters.
This is an actual.
Station,
Control computers are online.
Confirming satellite
relay status.
Maybe it's just
another software glitch.
ISS installed an OPNAV assembly
for Moon imagery collection.
That onboard camera system
should be live.
Patch in. We may be able to see
if the station
has started shifting course.
Got it.
Space Track

230 kilometers and closing.
Station, this is Houston.
Near-Earth object on approach.
I repeat,

Station, we did
not copy your last.
N.E.O. on approach!
I have OPNAV camera system
on three-second delay.
It was too early
to move Ramsey
off the TOPO console to FDO.
There's no change
in the OPNAV POV.
They aren't moving.
CapCom, why can't they hear us?
[man] We have incoming.
[alarms blaring]
[woman]
Critical systems failure!
My God.
We've lost ISS.
[alarms continue]

This can't be right.
Target submarine no longer

and it's on approach.
What do you mean, "on approach"?
Colombian Navy understands
the rules
of our warfare exercises.
[man, in Spanish] Mayday!
We're under attack!
It's a creature!
Did he just say, "creature"?
Scanners showing a very large...
unidentified object...
[scanner beeping]
coming at us at 50 knots.
Whatever it is,
Captain, it is--
it is no Colombian Naval sub.
Get a target lock,
and ready missiles.
All hands, this is
Lieutenant Commander Webb.
This is not a drill.
This is not a drill.

Abandon ship without delay.
Abandon ship.
I want everyone accounted for.
[alarms blaring]
Abandon ship.
I repeat, abandon ship.
What is that thing?
Jesus Christ,
look at the size of it!
Looks like
a goddamn piranha fish.
Get to the boats, port side. Go!
Starboard is FUBAR.
Move it.
Captain, it's eating
the goddamn ship.
I said, "Move it."
That's an order.
[machine gun firing]
Get off my ship!
[ominous music playing]
Yes, Mr. President.
That is my understanding
at this time.
But NEOWISE,
Mauna Kea, and CNEOS
all missed this thing
before it was too late.
And I certainly
do share your concern
about the loss of further...
sensitive near-space assets.
I have the ISS Flight Director
in my office at this moment
for debrief.
Yes, sir.
Quinn, what the hell
happened up there?
How can every department
that NASA tasked
to find these things
miss this one?
Space Track was able
to locate the N.E.O.
with enough time to warn ISS to
maneuver out of its trajectory.
So why didn't it?
Communication
between Houston and the ISS
was interrupted,
but that happens on occasion.
- We lost a relay satellite--
- Look...
I understand it's not uncommon
to lose contact
with the space station,
but to do so
moments before the impact
of a near-Earth object?
Quinn, that's not a coincidence.
We don't yet know what it is.
NASA, ESA, CSA,
they've all launched
separate investigations.
Does anyone have any idea
where this thing
originated from?
I have been answering
questions about this
for nine hours straight
at NASA HQ.
If I knew anything else,
I would tell you.
What we do know
is CNEOS confirmed...
that it just...
came out of nowhere.
Tell me how something this large
appears out of thin air.
I get daily briefings
from the DIA on new
and emerging counter space
capabilities of foreign nations,
and each and every one of them
pose a serious threat
to the United States
and its allies' interests.
Space is quickly becoming
the next theater
of combat operations.
We may have a national
security matter on our hands,
and I expect
complete cooperation
from you and everyone
in your department.
What, you don't think I want
to know what happened up there?
After all of the criticism I got
for being the youngest
Flight Director in history
to lead Mission Control?
[sighs]
Sure made history, all right.
Quinn, no one's
blaming you for anything.
[telephone rings]
Ramsey.
Yes, sir.
What--Is everything okay?
I need to clear
the room, please.
I'll arrange
your travel back to Houston
as quickly as possible.
Thanks, Dad.
I can get myself home.
Yes, sir. Sorry.
We've got to stop
scheduling tastings
with wedding caterers
on our lunch break.
My meeting with
the Office of Investigation
is in five minutes, and I still
haven't printed out
the spreadsheets.
Well, at least we didn't spend
an hour and a half
bickering over where to eat.
- Ha! That was funny.
- Was good, right?
I just thought of that
off the top--
Not to mention accurate.
Did you drop off
the rent check this morning
before you left?
Yes. Check dropped off.
Hey, I got time.
I can help you prep
for your IO meeting.
[sighs] Fine.
Knew there was a reason
I decided to marry you.
What's that reason again?
Just so--Just so--For me.
Yeah. Good.
Cool. Thank you.
[stapler clicks]
All right. Let's look here.
- [typing]
- That...
Hey, hon...
are these
the viewership data metrics
for, um, Q2 on the Dbop
streaming service platform?
- Yeah. OI plans
to review the data
related to this indie film
company called The Asylum.
They're infamous
for crappy monster movies.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. What--
What are you
talking about, "crappy"?
Honey, they made Sharknado.
The Sharkna movies.
It's money.
[chuckles] I'm talking about
potential
statistics manipulation.
- Huh.
- Or does it reflect
organic consumer behavior?
They had 81 films
on the Top 100 list
on the Dbop platform
this last quarter.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
It's all coming from
their streaming network,
The Asylum Movie Channel.
Oh, my gosh.
I've seen all these.
Mega Shark
vs. Giant Octopus. Great.
Planet of the Sharks, classic.
San Andreas Mega Quake.
I cried twice.
Triassic World.
Sharknado movies, of course.
Elvis Lives!
I mean, these are great.
When are you
watching this stuff?
Uh, usually when you--
after you go to bed, so...
Maybe you're the reason
for the, uh, trend.
Started in the first quarter
with 61 titles
on the top 100 list.
What? By what metric?
Two minutes viewed?
Ten minutes viewed?
No, all the Asylum movies
saw the biggest increase
in millions of minutes viewed,
more than any other
film or TV content
in the whole six-month period.
No, no, this has
gotta be like a--
like a marketing gimmick, right?
Like a publicity stunt.
I mean, you know
what kind of films they make.
Um, they made
a sequel to Titanic.
No, they made
two sequels to Titanic.
It's a--It's a publicity stunt.
I wouldn't put it past them.
Oh, I thought the same thing,
but that would explain
a spike in one or two films.
This is different.
If they're
profiting off of this,
then it's
some get-rich-quick scam,
but they are no strangers
to, uh, lawsuits.
Hmm. Okay, it says here
an average 74% increase
in repeat viewings,
60% increase in combined
hours watched for Q2.
I mean, either this content's
more popular than ever,
or it's fraudulent statistics.
- Hmm.
- Oh. I gotta go.
They're waiting.
- Okay. Bye.
- Thank you. Love you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Who the heck's been
watching MegaBoa
and 6-Headed Shark
that many times in a row?
Break a leg.
Why did--
I get if it's Bachelor Night.
That movie was...
Actually that movie
was a work of art, actually.
[footsteps crunching]
Hey.
How'd it go?
Ah, about as well
as you can expect.
A marathon
of closed-door sessions
with NASA leadership to go.
But I have news.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
JPL and the Planetary
Defense Coordination Office
reviewed footage from all
of their ground
and space-based telescopes.
Now, PDCO found
something we missed.
There was
a second object in orbit,
small enough
that nobody would tell,
but on the same trajectory,
and dropped out of sight
just seconds
after the asteroid
was picked up by Space Track.
Does that--
How big are we talking here?
PDCO believes it's
about 1.6 meters across,
but no one would see it,
because it approached
on the daylight side
of the Earth
from the direction of the sun.
So what else
do they know about it?
Well, PDCO says it's definitely
an artificial object.
Now, it was dwarfed in size
by the asteroid,
but it wasn't
some piece of space junk
or a defunct satellite
that fell out of trajectory.
Look, we wouldn't
have even seen the thing
if it hadn't come
so damn close to the Earth.
JPL and the PDCO
are both positive
that the smaller object
preceded the second one,
impacting com satellites
in our constellation.
Wait. Wait a minute.
PDCO believes
that the second object
made impact with our satellites?
Yes.
Okay, that might fit
the timeline
for Mission Control
losing contact
and the asteroid
making impact with ISS.
Yeah.
[scoffs]
[steady humming]
[crowd yelling]
What is that?
What is that?
[steady humming]
What is...
Oh.
Honey, d-did you see it?
No. I just got out
of my meeting.
There's--There's a drone
hovering over Manhattan.
It's making this--
this weird noise.
[steady warbling]
There it is. I see it.
Oh, wow.
It's putting on
some kind of light show.
[drone humming]
It's coming back.
It's coming back this way!
[wincing]
[rumbling]
[growling]
Is that a...
I...
[growling]
Aaron, honey,
we gotta get out of here.
- Come on.
- Yeah. Okay, okay.
[growling]
Come on. We gotta go.
I understand. We're evacuating
the building right now.
Sir, we need to get you to
a secure location immediately.
That was the director
of the Secret Service.
He just informed me--
The Capitol is down.
Article One, Section Two
designates you
as the acting president.
I got Marine One waiting.
I need to get you
to Mount Weather.
Sir, we need to leave now.
- Dad.
- Quinn.
They're moving me
to a secure location.
Dad. This is Jerry Ford,
CapCom for my team
at Mission Control.
Sir.
Tom, we have to go.
- We have to go.
- Okay.
[crowd screaming]
[engine thrumming]
Okay.
We're clear. Take off.
The director
of the Secret Service
said that there's been sightings
of UAVs on the National Mall.
I saw it. W-We both did.
I-It flew over
Virginia Highlands Park
and into Washington, D.C.
I-It was cylindrical in shape,
about five feet across,
made an awful humming sound.
And then there was
some red light or beam
that came out of it,
projected on everyone,
and then it just disappeared.
We thought
it was gonna kill us,
and who knows? It might.
I mean, Lord knows what level
of radiation that thing had.
How does that correlate with
the intel we've gathered so far?
The same.
There have been
similar sightings
over Los Angeles, New York,
Chicago, Houston, London, Paris.
But what the heck
are they doing here?
Jesus.
I mean,
look at that son of a bitch.
[dramatic music playing]
[growling]
Something like
those creatures down there...
attacked the U.S.S. Colossus
off the coast of Colombia.
That's privileged information.
Ship was destroyed, sunk.
She's listed as missing,
presumed...
No. [laughs] No, no, no.
She's too much
of a control freak.
She's not gonna die
without dictating
exactly how and
when it happens, down--
Quinn, that's enough!
I won't have you
mocking her like this.
I stood by hoping that
the two of you would reconcile,
because it wasn't
my place to be involved,
but if you have
unresolved issues,
that doesn't give you
an excuse to act like this.
Sir...
it's time to take
the oath of office.
They can witness.
Wait. He could do that here?
Without the Chief Justice?
Yeah. LBJ did it
on Air Force One
when JFK was assassinated.
The Constitution, Article Two,
does not stipulate
who administers it.
[sighs]
I, Thomas Ramsey, do solemnly
swear to faithfully execute
the office of the President
of the United States of America,
to preserve, protect,
and defend the Constitution
of the United States
of America,
so help me, God.
All right.
That's it. Th-That's the drone,
like the one before.
[dramatic music playing]
Oh, my God.
It took out both choppers.
[rumbling]
- [alarm blaring]
- We've been hit!
Oh, crap. That sound
means we're going down.
- Brace for impact.
- How do you know?!
Look, I've flown
enough of these things
to know when we're going down.
Brace for impact, sir.
[alarm continues]
[explosion booms]
ADMIRAL: Jerry didn't make it.
[crashing]
TOM: Quinn, don't move.
Quinn, don't move. Don't move.
You always did suck
at hide-and-go-seek, Quinn.
Madolyn?
Is that you, Madolyn?
That fight must have
damaged both the robots.
It's not responding
to any more of my commands.
Stupid thing
just crapped out on me.
[sighs]
Dad, are you okay?
- I'm--
- Is anything broken?
I'm fine. What happened?
The Navy said you were missing.
I-I saw the footage!
Yeah, I...
- Uh...
- Hey.
Hey.
Sorry.
[clears throat]
Glad you're still alive.
Thanks.
- Yeah.
- Same.
Lieutenant Commander Webb.
You were 48 hours away
from being declared
officially dead.
And I was prepared
to go down with my ship, sir.
I don't remember what happened.
I just got thrown overboard
and was picked up
by a fishing trawler
some nine miles out
from where we sank.
Ended up in Cali, Colombia,
and took a short flight
over to Bogota,
which was soon under attack
by that thing.
That robot?
[chuckles] Yeah.
The Colombian military
took it down, and, uh...
I snuck in and took it.
I had heard reports
that D.C. was under attack,
and I had seen firsthand
what one of those creatures
could do to my ship,
so I decided
I needed an upgrade.
You know, those things can fly.
Nearly killed myself trying.
That looks like our ride.
[helicopter blades thrumming]
Mr. President, welcome
to High Point Special Facility.
I'm Special Agent Lucy Taggart
of the Secret Service.
I've been assigned lead
of your protective detail.
Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff,
Nick Forster,
Lieutenant Commander
Madolyn Webb,
and Dr. Quinn Ramsey of NASA.
Mr. President. Greg Stern,
Federal Protective Services.
On behalf of my entire team
and department, welcome.
Thank you.
How many citizens can we
accommodate in this facility?
Several thousand, sir.
Very good.
I want to open this site
to displaced citizens
from the surrounding counties.
Sir, this facility--
It's a high-end military and
civilian relocation center,
and it's a FEMA command center,
but, Nick, it doesn't
mean a good goddamn
if we can't provide shelter and
aid to those who need it most.
Now, we've got plenty
of room here, right, Greg?
- Yes, sir.
- All right.
I'm gonna turn this over
to the Federal
Protection Services
to work out the details.
Yes, sir.
I'll work with Agent Taggart.
We'll get it done for you, sir.
Very good.
I apologize, Dr. Ramsey.
I can't let you in.
The president's on the phone
with the German chancellor.
Where's the Joint Chief?
[Nick sighs heavily]
This has been a day
of unprecedented challenges
that we don't
even understand fully,
concerning the terrestrial
and marine organisms.
Now, as of an hour ago,
some have been destroyed,
but several are still causing
catastrophic damage
and, so far,
thousands of casualties.
We just found out
10 minutes ago,
a giant snake tried to eat half
a subway train in Tokyo, Japan.
Sir, excuse me.
A snake attacked a train?
Exactly. Shut down
the whole metro system.
Thousands are trapped in trains
and--and stations in Tokyo.
[static crackling]
Aaron, we can't just sit here
and eavesdrop on--
on radio chatter.
Honey, what do you think
I'm trying to do?
All right, look,
we can't blindly drive around
looking for a safe place.
There's just--
There is no safe place.
There's no safe place
in New York.
I mean...
not while there's
a giant monster out there. I--
Ohh. I mean, everything
we own is in a backpack.
- We need a plan, Aaron.
- Okay.
No, honey, don't panic.
Hey, don't panic.
We're gonna get
through this, okay?
We're gonna get
through this together.
You're acting like this is
just another Friday night.
There--There is
a giant crocodile,
a-and a massive shark
just attacked New York,
L.A., Washington.
I mean, a giant snake in Japan?
I can't believe these words
are coming out of my mouth.
Honey, don't panic.
We will get through this
together.
We just need a plan.
We're gonna figure...
We're gonna...
Aaron, what is it?
Honey, do you have
the spreadsheets on you?
Yeah.
How--How does
that have any bearing
with our situation right now?
Just, uh--Just--Just--
No, this--No, no, no.
This can't be right.
Um...
Crocosaurus,
Mega Shark, MegaBoa.
Oh, my God. This--
This can't possibly be real.
What--What is happening? Um...
Okay, um, honey,
uh, just promise me
you won't freak out, okay?
[laughs] You're--
You're scaring me.
- Okay, okay, just--
- What is happ--
All of the monsters
that we're seeing
are from the movies
on this list.
I know, I know, but they're
all appearing right here,
even in this order so far.
And this is happening right now.
[laughs]
Eh, no.
Y-Yes. Yes. Okay--
- No, that--
- I know you're freaking out.
- You sound insane, honey.
- I'm freaking out.
Th-That's crazy.
We have to tell somebody, okay?
We have to go now.
We have to tell somebody
what's happening,
- because this is on the list.
- [laughs]
Okay, okay. I know.
I know it sounds nuts.
- Ugh.
- I know it sounds crazy,
but I think this is the play,
so just can--can I drive?
No. No, absolutely not.
Where--Where do you
think we're going?
Can I...
No. I'm driving.
All right.
While our understanding
of these creatures is limited,
Lieutenant Commander Webb here
has engaged them
on two separate occasions.
Lieutenant Commander.
Thank you, Admiral.
First thing to know is
that they are vulnerable.
They can be defeated.
They also seem to come
in two different forms,
organic, which appear
to be gigantic mutations and--
crocodile, an octopus, a snake,
like what attacked D.C., Tokyo,
and my ship
in the Colombian sea.
The other is synthetic,
which so far, appear to be
in the form of giant robots,
one of which
I was able to commandeer.
Hold up.
You piloted a giant robot?
Like, for real?
Yeah. When I fought
the other one, yeah.
So who was
piloting the other one?
Nobody. Seemed to be running on
some sort of advanced AI system.
[scoffs] Let me
get this straight.
We're under attack
by mutant fish,
wildlife, and Skynet?
At the same time?
Yeah. Why not just pick one?
It took just one
of those creatures
to sink a U.S. Navy warship
and kill 99 of my men and women.
The organics have shown
incredible aggression
and strength
unlike anything the military
has ever faced before.
The synthetics,
on the other hand,
I believe that they
can be reprogrammed.
This is Dr. Ramsey from NASA.
Excuse us.
I collected blood samples
from the mega piranha
off of Madolyn's uniform.
It appears to be
extraterrestrial.
These things are aliens?
The drone. Um, every time
one of those creatures attacked,
a drone was seen flying nearby.
So are we to assume
that those drones
are extraterrestrial as well?
Well, there's only
one way to find out.
A-A Navy chopper
shot one of the drones down.
I-I need to go there,
and hopefully it's still intact.
Quinn, I will send
an extraction team instead.
No, no, no.
I-I need to go there.
I need--I need to look at it.
I need to see how it works.
I need to figure it out.
A-An extraction team isn't
gonna know what to look for.
You don't know
what you're looking for.
You run Mission Control.
What do you know
about alien tech?
The extraction team
will bring back
whatever there is to bring back,
but I've got a call
in 10 minutes
with the Japanese
Prime Minister
to reassure him
that our alliances
and cooperation
on global security
extend naturally to the possible
invasion from another world.
- Excuse me.
- Under--Understood, sir.
How would you know
anything about me, Madolyn?
You don't know the first thing
about me or what I'm capable of.
Which is just how you wanted it.
Wrong. It's how you wanted it.
Oh, I got the message
- loud and clear.
- Mm.
You didn't have time
for me anymore.
Okay, why is that, exactly?
I mean, is it because
I stopped letting you dictate
when we were gonna hang out,
how, where?
Okay. Yeah, sorry.
I was just trying
to have a relationship
- with my only sister.
- [scoffs]
And one of us
had to make the effort.
[laughs] How?
By--By making fun of everything
I've ever cared about?
That is really, really
making an effort, Madolyn.
Ah, the Fourth of July weekend.
That--That's what you're
talking about, right?
Oh, you love to bring that up
when you want to make a point.
Okay, Quinn, yes,
I was lashing out.
I was upset.
Everything with you
has to be a competition.
I mean, it happened
even when we were younger.
Who got the best grades,
who was better at sports.
And you know what?
You never grew out of it.
I'm your sister.
We were supposed to be a team.
You are the person
I shared all my secrets with,
and we would watch--
we would watch
scary movies together
that we were too young for. I--
Right.
Best friend?
Yeah, sure.
You know what? I'm done.
I'm done with this.
It's--It's obvious that
you and I have grown apart,
a-and this is what it is.
[ominous music playing]
Wait, what did you say?
I said we've grown apart.
Yeah, I got that.
I'm talking about
when we were kids,
the movies
that we used to watch.
That's where I remember it from.
What? Remember what?
The snake attack,
the one in Tokyo.
What are you talking about?
A gigantic snake tried
to eat a subway train in Tokyo.
Okay, when did this happen?
It was called
Snakes on a Train.
I know, Quinn. Thank you.
The Asylum Movie Channel?
Yeah, why don't you click on it?
Okay.
Can you--Slow down.
You're going too fast.
Oh, these are
some interesting titles--
Aquarium of the Dead,
Android Cop,
Airplanes vs. Volcano.
Oof. I wonder
what that one's about.
Guessing a plane
fights a volcano.
My money's on the volcano.
Smart.
Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That one. Uh, it's...
Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus.
That--That looks exactly
like what attacked
the National Mall.
- Does it?
- Yeah.
Hmm.
Quinn...
that's what attacked my ship.
Simultaneous targets
progressing as expected.
Humans. They are as naive
as they are arrogant.
And resilient.
The human impulse for
aggression cannot be ignored.
But lacking intelligence.
The Chamber of Xeli
verified these chronicles
depict human culture
and their mythology,
stories of the Earth's
fantastic myths and behemoths
rooted in human historical fact.
- Hmm.
- Look.
Earth was once dominated
by an empire
of prehistoric beasts,
which then gave the uprise
to an empire of sharks,
according
to these human chronicles.
Target next weapons package
to highly populated coordinates.
Targets are ready and assigned.
[sighs]
Maybe it's best
to temper your zeal
for this simple act
of annihilation,
or else you may be
called out of stratagem
by the Superior.
There is nothing simple
in what I'm about
to inflict upon them.
[earpiece warbles]
[static crackles]
The Superior has summoned you.
[console beeping]
My review of the vessel's
operations records
show that you have
not yet commenced
Ontogenesis conversions.
The approved stratagem
must not be diverted from.
We can ill afford deviations
of the stratagem
at a time when victory
is most critical
to the preservation of our race.
My Superior, the humans
possess defense capabilities.
They have yet
to engage against us.
You were not my first choice.
Your reputation
as a headstrong commander
with a tendency
towards the sadistic
has made you a poor candidate
for this campaign,
despite
your qualified war record.
But the Chamber of Xeli
has shown favor in you,
so I shall remind you only once.
The humans must be spared
at all possible opportunities,
or we shall not survive.
Is that understood?
Understood, My Superior.
Commence the Ontogenesis phase
on stratagem,
or I shall reassign the command
structure of this vessel.
[crowd yelling]
Well, there's no one around.
It's looking shady.
Maybe he's sleeping.
Maybe.
All right, who are you,
and how'd you find
your way up to my room?
Uh, Field Agent Wilson.
Uh, this is Farmer.
We'd like to speak with you.
Um, those creatures,
they're similar
to the ones that--
You starred in the movies.
Uh, we're just hoping
you can shed some light
on the subject.
Yeah, sure.
Come on in. I know stuff.
- Come on. Come on in.
- O-Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
[sirens blaring outside]
The things that
have been attacking us,
they--they're creatures
from a series of movies
from a film studio
called The Asylum.
You want
to run that by me again?
[sighs]
All right. See this?
This is what happened to
the U.S.S. Colossus, all right?
Get a good look.
This is actual size.
But now these things are here.
How is that possible?
We think
it has something to do
with the unidentified drones
that have appeared
at each of the incidents.
So then where are
the drones coming from?
Who's sending them?
A-A shark this big
has attacked several vessels
and Navy bases
on the Eastern Seaboard.
Navy intelligence seems to think
that, uh, it's part of
just being territorial, right?
Everything's been focused around
Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
It's like it's
protecting a boundary.
That's only
about three hours from here.
I mean, maybe that's where
the drones are coming from.
How do we kill that?
[festive music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[ominous music playing]
So where we're going
is an honest-to-God
top-secret federal facility.
I kid you not.
In fact, they probably won't
even let us in the place.
They're probably gonna tell us
that there's nobody there.
But you know what?
Do not believe them.
I was up for the part
of a double agent
in a Chris Nolan film.
You know Chris Nolan?
Good director, man.
[scoffs] Good friend, too.
Anyway, so you know
how I like to--
I like to get into the part,
you know,
so, uh, I tried
to break into this place.
Uh, what happened?
Oh, they caught me. [chuckles]
But that's cool, because
I used it in the audition.
You know, you gotta
set the stakes really high.
As long as we're not driving
for five hours for no reason.
Not a waste of time, kids.
I'm telling you.
But this is the real deal.
Yeah, yeah.
It is a real place.
They even shoot
a lot of episodes of TV here.
They shot the second season
of Z Natio here,
which is
a great show by the way. Um...
Yeah. You see?
Boyfriend here gets it.
- Um...
- May I help you?
We're from the FCC,
and I know this is
gonna sound odd,
but we have information
that we think might be
of use, at least we hope.
What kind of information?
Uh, information
about the Dbop streaming app
for The Asylum's
movie channel.
You said you're from the FCC?
You have any credentials
to back that up?
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh. Yeah.
Just one second.
Field Agent, huh?
- Yeah, New York office.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, um...
so this is the list
of all The Asylum titles.
I mean, there's been, like,
a 74% increase in--
in repeat viewings
and 60% increase
in the combined hours viewed.
- Okay, okay, hold on.
Relax, okay?
Sir, it's like she said.
We may be able to be
of some service to you
in this time
of national emergency.
We didn't drive five hours
to waste your time or ours.
- Okay.
- [footsteps approach]
Officer Stern.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah.
These, uh, individuals
say they have
some information for us.
They did actually mention
the movie studio
by name, though.
That one, Secret Service.
President must be here.
How do you know?
Look at her right hand.
See that scar?
That's from a rubber bullet.
They have to train with them.
They get shot with them
in Secret Service training.
They try to shoot at the limbs,
you know, so as
not to cause any damage.
Yeah, I got one.
Same scar, yeah.
Yeah, we were
up for the same role,
me and Clint,
In the Line of Fire.
[chuckles]
I started training early.
Yeah. They--
They went with older.
That's how it is
in Hollywood sometimes.
TAGGART: You're that actor.
Yeah, I thought
I recognized you.
Can I help you?
I think we
may be able to help you.
These FCC agents have
put together a-a line of clues
that I think
may give you an idea
of what's causing all these
problems that you're having.
STERN: Okay.
They do have active FCC I.D.s.
Run it through cross-check.
Corporal, run this for me.
We're being attacked
by monsters
from movies on this list.
The creatures
that attacked us
have been following
the order on this list.
There's a list? What order?
Yeah, look at this list,
The Asylum titles
from the top down.
MADOLYN: We know
about their movies,
but do you know
about their order?
These creatures and events
have happened already.
Okay. Asteroid-a-geddon.
Remember that one?
It's a--It's a big asteroid
collides with the
International Space Station.
Okay. Uh, all right.
Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus.
It's self-explanatory.
Uh, two attacks, both attacks,
one in New York and L.A.
Washington, D.C.
That's-- Megaboa. Yeah.
On the news, it said
one showed up in Japan.
Asteroid-a-geddon.
An asteroid collides with
the International Space Station
and its satellites.
So why didn't it just hit us?
I mean, you only need one
asteroid to wipe out humanity.
Is there any way
to determine...
who watches these?
That might give us a clue
in who's behind all this.
And by the way, we still have
a gigantic prehistoric shark
on the loose.
The way to kill a mega shark
is with a mecha shark.
I ought to know.
I was in the movie.
That's how we did it.
A mecha shark?
Yeah. Yeah, a mecha shark.
It's a giant submarine,
all equipped
with special weapons,
special tactics.
That's how we did it.
Oh, hey, guys...
this next title on the list...
we got a new problem.
Six of them, actually.
Continue on your present course
headed northeast, three miles.
When those creatures
cross paths,
they're gonna
turn on each other.
Yeah, and if this
doesn't work, then what?
That poor pig
is gonna be lunch.
Humans successfully
lured the weapons
to clash with one another.
- [bangs console]
- How is this possible?!
The humans
were too well prepared
for our next weapon
and our attack stratagem.
They anticipated it,
and they lured it
and used it against us!
But that is contrary to reason.
It would suggest
advanced knowledge
of the stratagem
on their part.
I find that explanation
unfathomable.
We must engage as if
the humans have gathered
sufficient intelligence
in our next stratagem.
Come on, Quinn. Think about it.
A massive asteroid
strikes the ISS and sat-coms.
Why go through all the trouble
to attack Earth
when that space rock
could have just hit us,
wiped us all out?
Okay, but none
of the NASA trajectory models
had Earth
anywhere near its path.
I mean, that's pre- or post-ISS.
What does that mean?
It means that the asteroid
was always aimed
at ISS and the satellites.
There was no other path.
Yeah, but why not?
Okay, PDOC said that there
was a second object
that was going along
the same path as the asteroid.
Okay, but the asteroid
doesn't hit Earth,
which is then under attack.
Okay, why not?
If the drones
are connected to the attacks,
I ask you again, Quinn,
why didn't it just hit us?
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know, Madolyn.
I mean, maybe--maybe it was
never meant to kill us.
Uh, yeah, those creatures
have already killed
thousands of us.
Okay, yeah, I know.
And look at the rest of us.
We're all in hiding.
Easier to kill.
Maybe we don't know the true
face of our attacker yet.
I mean, without that, we won't
be able to establish motive
or intent for these attacks.
Maybe...
Maybe there's a reason
we're not all dead yet.
I bet you five bucks
you're wrong.
[chuckles]
[mocking]
"Bet you five bucks..."
No, I am not gonna
bet you five bucks.
God, what--Spare me.
Spare me the stupid saying
you used to say all the time.
What was it? "Play to win."
Is that--something like that.
It's not stupid. That's...
It's not stupid.
Oh, no, it totally wasn't.
You know,
I used to get so mortified
when you would
just say it in gym class.
You thought you were so cool.
You were so not.
Whatever, Quinn.
[chuckles]
Uh, did you--
did you bring that?
Of course not.
I haven't seen
that thing in years.
Thought it got thrown away
when Dad moved to Washington.
I would never throw that away.
Give me that.
This stays on my desk.
When we had to evacuate,
this is one of the few
personal items I took with me.
You know, this was--this is one
of the proudest days of my life,
watching you two girls develop
and construct that project.
You thought out
all the precious details,
and you worked together...
not just like sisters,
but more like,
I don't know, best friends
that loved each other.
I remember that that was
the ferromagnetic apparatus.
Yeah, with the penny
and the coat hanger.
Everybody was so impressed
at the complexity
of the project that
two little girls would choose.
You know, I think it was
my idea to build it first.
[laughs]
- Quinn.
- I doubt that.
Yeah, but who can really
remember at this point?
[knock at the door]
[ominous music playing]
What's going on?
- Sir.
- Sir...
we should take you
and your family
to an underground bunker
beyond Main Support Command.
There's been a sighting
of an unidentified aircraft
operating at a low altitude.
I suggest we take
precautionary action
until the UAS is confirmed
and controlled.
Let's go.
- Sounds like a good idea to me.
- Hup!
Was that another one
of those drones?
No, that's something bigger,
much bigger.
Well, did the extraction team
pick up the drone
we shot down yet?
Not as of yet.
All armed personnel
on the facility
- are on high alert.
- Hmm.
Sir, with all due respect,
we're gonna need something
a whole lot stronger
and more effective.
Quinn, I want you
to draft a full report
of the blood analysis
you conducted.
We have to get that info to
the intel agencies as soon as--
Quinn and Madolyn?
What happened?
Please, sir,
remain inside the bunker.
Officer Stern and I
will locate them.
We'll find them, sir.
QUINN: We have a problem.
Both of the robots
were destroyed in the fight.
Yeah, but we only need one
to get back online.
Okay. I guess--
I guess the one
that wasn't bashed in the head
by Marine One
might be our best bet.
Yeah, well,
the one I was piloting
just shut down on me,
though, after the fight
without warning, just kaput.
So these really aren't built
for close-quarter combat.
Well, yeah, we smashed
each other pretty good,
but I didn't think it was enough
to, like,
shut down the whole rig.
Huh. I wonder if
the artificial synthesis
that--that we found
in the blood on your jacket,
I wonder if the robots share
the same molecular structure.
What do you mean?
The artificial synthesis
creates a vulnerability
of some sort?
Yeah, I-I mean, it could
trigger a breakdown
at the cellular
or molecular level.
O-Okay, wait.
What's breaking them down?
Okay, guys, guys, look. I think,
I mean, at this point...
it's aliens.
Am I right?
I'm sure we all noticed
those weird drones
hovering above the city, right?
I mean, guys, come on.
Giant monsters
straight out of the movies,
huh, with
extraterrestrial blood
and unstable DNA? I mean...
If I'm following
you guys correctly,
which I think I am,
I think it's just--it's aliens.
I mean, you said it yourself.
Anytime these drones
appear, right,
one or two or more
of these creatures attack,
and I--Honestly, I think
it would be safe to assume
that, um, it's these drones
that are creating
these creatures.
Creating them how?
That's a good question.
Um, I think--Think of it
like a 3-D printer.
Okay, same idea,
but you need
the correct data file, right?
And without it,
anything that you're printing
will essentially--
will have weaknesses
and, um, will fall apart.
Aaron, you don't
actually think
aliens are watching
these movies?
I mean, that's the only thing
that explained
the insane jump in viewership,
A-And it really
does support your idea
of, you know,
artificial synthesis, right?
Okay, so, uh...
when someone or something,
right, streams a movie,
so the Dbop app sends
a signal to determine...
what kind of device you're
watching the movie on, right?
So, for instance,
let's say, I don't know,
you're watching something
in 4K or standard def, right?
The signal
will stream your movie
in the proper resolution.
[scoffs]
But if these are aliens,
then they'd have,
like, 16K technology by now,
the highest resolution
in the universe. [laughs]
Yes, and you're right, honey.
And let's assume
that they do have that.
But the Dbop app
cannot broadcast in 16K,
and most importantly,
it won't recognize
this new alien technology.
So that means if the signal
doesn't recognize the device,
it automatically defaults
to load on the poorest
connection quality.
We're talking about a streaming
at poor-quality resolution.
Let me get this straight.
You're saying
that the--the aliens are
3-D printing these creatures
in low-resolution data
from the Dbop app?
Yes, the lowest
resolution quality
that's visible
on the streaming service.
And that's what's causing them
to break apart?
Mm-hmm.
That might explain
the accelerated decomposition.
So...
the robots are in pieces?
Okay, so if--
if the decomposition
happens at the same rate
of speed as the blood...
But I won't know for sure
until I can see
how those drones operate.
Well, there's gotta be some way
to at least get
one of them back online.
But it's gonna be
pointless to do that
unless we can figure out a way
to keep the robots
from--from collapsing
once we get them back online.
BOTH: Electromagnets.
Strong enough to attract
a few thousand pounds of weight
and keep the robot
from collapsing in on itself
when it tries to stand or walk.
And when it tries to fight,
we'll have to account
for the weight bearing,
impact absorption,
stress-pressure rates,
punch-speed acceleration.
Otherwise, it's gonna
be useless in battle.
- Yes, ma'am.
- [chuckles]
You know, I think
this is the first time
we've agreed on anything
in 10 years.
Oh, I think it's been longer
than that, like 15, maybe.
No, no, no, no. I think
it's probably not that long.
Ah, of course
you would think that.
Well, agree to disagree.
Apparently
that's what we do best.
All right!
Let's get to work.
We shot the drone down
on our way here.
I'm not sure how much of it
is still gonna be intact,
but we need to get
all the pieces we can.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Mm.
[sighs] Dr. Ramsey.
I've come to take you
to the president's bunker.
No, absolutely not.
We're--We're on our way
to find
some very important tech.
It's not safe
out there, Doctor.
Then come with us
i-if that's gonna make you
or my father feel better.
Look, I have them.
We could always use more.
There's safety
in numbers, right?
[sighs]
Fine. You know what?
Tell my father
you couldn't find me
or--or that I refused
and I left the facility.
It's up to you.
Lieutenant Commander Webb's
already departed.
Her team is en route.
Last chance, Officer.
Do you want to ensure my safety?
We're moving.
All right. Let me gear up.
Madolyn...
we're on our way
to recover the drone.
Copy that, Quinn.
We're about half a mile
out from the site.
Be careful out there.
QUINN: You do the same.
You got a 20
on Quinn and Madolyn?
I've been informed
they both left the facility.
The Lieutenant Commander's
assembled a team
to prepare one of the robots.
Dr. Ramsey went
to get the drone.
I thought we were sending
the extraction team for that.
We called it off to fortify
the defenses of this facility,
but Dr. Ramsey
thought differently.
Operation MechaShark
is in the final stages
of preparation.
Now, the Navy is
almost done retrofitting
active duty and
declassified submarines.
Megalodon is dead.
No, my mission failed.
Conventional weapons are not
adequate against these things,
and we have to assume there's
going to be another attack.
No signs of any wreckage yet.
You sure we're
in the right area?
Yeah. I got
some metal over here.
I'm not sure, but it looks
like it's from the chopper.
No, that's--
that's from the wreckage.
We're definitely
in the right area.
Hey, hey, get down.
Get down. Get down.
That's a ship.
They have the drone.
And they look...
human.
Damn it. Drone's airborne.
[sighs] We're too late.
All right,
let's get back to the facility.
On me.
Quinn, I'm gonna need...
Where is she?
Damn it.
Put a leash on that girl...
Come on.
[gasps]
[groaning]
[groaning]
[tense music playing]
[consoles beeping]
Well, this definitely
isn't one of ours.
MADOLYN:
That looks good, Gretchen.
- You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.
Now, we've got to keep
these electromagnets strong,
keep the voltage up,
drive high amounts
of current through it
at all times, okay?
Okay.
- Hey, honey.
- I need this.
Yeah.
Hey, hey. Hey. One of--
One of those drones is back.
The--The beam's
a different color.
All right, come on.
We can't let it see us.
Let's go.
Oh, man. That's one of the ones
Quinn was trying to retrieve.
We gotta get
this electromagnetic rig
on this hunk of junk, or we're
gonna be in big trouble.
Quinn, are you there?
I need you to respond.
Quinn, respond. Over.
- [growling]
- [yelps]
- [screams]
- Agh!
- [grunts]
- [growling]
[yelps] Wait, wait.
Go this way!
- We better get out of here.
- This way! Follow me!
Let's go!
Get away! Come on!
Come on! Go! Keep going!
[groaning]
They usually don't do that.
This way. Go. Come on.
[panting]
Okay.
[distant groaning]
This place looks deserted.
Okay. Listen.
We--We have to watch out
for mass coronal
ejections, okay?
Because I doubt the locals
wanted to hit the zoo
with those giant creatures
wreaking havoc
for 24 hours, right?
[animal roar echoes]
What the hell was that?
- Let's keep moving.
- Okay.
- Damn it! They're in!
- [zombies growling]
Let's keep moving.
Keep moving.
- [yelps]
- Jeez!
[gasping]
The animals are on the loose!
Something's wrong with it. Wait.
[screaming]
- [screams]
- Get it off, babe!
- Help me.
- Oh, my God!
Aaron! No!
No! No!
No!
- Oh, my God.
- No!
[sobbing]
- He's dead.
- I--
- I'm not leaving him.
- We've gotta go.
- We gotta go!
- No!
[groaning]
If we don't go, we're all dead.
[boots clomping]
[pressurized gas hisses]
[conversing in alien language]
[console beeping]
[tense music playing]
Officer Stern, Corporal McKee.
Where are the others?
Private, where's Dr. Ramsey?
My mistake.
Uh, Dr. Ramsey's
already returned.
There's still no word
from Madolyn or Quinn.
Nothing yet, Tom.
But I know
Special Agent Taggart
is in contact with
Officer Stern and his team.
[ominous music playing]
[rumbling]
Madolyn, do you copy?
Okay, now that we've got
all the batteries secured
to the frame, we're gonna
have to manually rewire
all the components
of the robot that fell apart.
Okay?
Madolyn, do you copy?
[tense music playing]
[radio beeps]
QUINN: I'm on a transport ship
about three miles offshore.
[radio squelch]
Madolyn, come in.
Split up.
Find the evacuees.
Proceed with
the Ontogenesis phase.
Find their president.
The humans trust him.
They'll follow him.
I'll alert the mother ship
of the stowaway in transport.
What is it, Agent?
It's time to go from here.
[gun fires]
[panting]
They're aliens, sir.
We're under attack by some
sort of extraterrestrial race.
We encountered them when
we were looking for the drone.
Now they've injected something
into Stern and Taggart here.
It'll rip
their circulatory systems
from their bodies
and turn them into...
that.
What--Wait, what do you mean?
You're saying that they
turned their blood
into an alien creature?
Why did they look
like Taggart and Stern?
These things
can shape-shift, sir.
Son, give me that gun.
Oh, no. I'm not one of them.
I've been bluffing
the whole time.
I've got them to trust me.
Good, good.
You did--You did good.
Now give me the gun.
Do it now!
Yes, sir.
President's the key to all this.
If they can transform you
into an alien,
they're gonna turn
everyone in the human race
into one mega alien race.
That's not gonna happen.
Dr. Ramsey's
on their transport.
They've got Quinn hostage?
She's trying to radio
Lieutenant Colonel Webb,
but no response.
Quinn, can you hear me?
Quinn?
Dad, listen to me.
We are underwater.
The mother ship
is in the Atlantic Ocean.
[tense music playing]
[speaking alien language]
Quinn, can you hear me?!
We need to mobilize
our attack immediately, sir.
I can't
until I know where she is.
Mr. President, if we don't act,
it's gonna be too late.
And your daughter
is inviting us.
If she's on that alien ship
I can't!
I can't do it, Nick!
Tom, the lives
of millions of people
hang in the balance here.
If Quinn understood that,
she understood the sacrifice.
Now, Naval intelligence has
detected an active volcano
under the surface
of the ocean in that area.
Let's load those mecha sharks
with GOTA explosives,
and we can trigger the volcano.
And what good will that do?
It's a failsafe.
Sir, I'm waiting
for your decision.
Deploy.
Yes, sir.
We gotta get
the president out of here.
There's no telling how many
people turned into those things.
The evacuees we brought in,
there's hundreds of them.
They infiltrated
the FPS facility.
This whole place
is gonna go under.
Mount Weather's compromised.
It's no longer safe
for the POTUS to be here.
- We have to get him out.
- No.
We can still save
the evacuees.
The FPS may still be stopped.
Come on.
[electricity crackles]
[controls humming]
All right, let's do this.
Robot's online.
So far, so good.
Here goes.
The Ontogenesis phase has begun.
We started transforming humans
into more of our own kind.
They have returned
from the shelter facility,
where hundreds more await,
including their president.
You two have done well.
Humans have cowered in fear
from the might of our campaign.
Now we begin to repopulate
and return our dying species
to the proud and noble race
it once was.
Witness Xelitian power
regain our dominance
in the galaxy.
Quinn, I got this sucker
up and running.
[chuckles] It's working.
What's your 20?
Madolyn, is that you?
Where are you now?
I got the robot back online.
Dad, are you okay?
Where's Quinn?
Sir, wait. Don't.
She could be
one of them by now.
Don't be absurd, Private.
She's my daughter.
She'd die first.
Sir, he's right.
We can't risk it.
I don't know where she is.
[screams echoing]
That screaming, the evacuees.
We're too late.
The FPS has reached
the safety area.
We have to try and help 'em.
Sir, the transformation
is hideous and quick.
If we go down there,
we'll suffer the same fate.
We have to get you out
of Mount Weather immediately.
There's hundreds of evacuees.
And hundreds of aliens.
If they breach the perimeter,
if they get out of here...
they're out.
Thousands, millions
will be turned.
There won't even be
a human race anymore.
We have to destroy
Mount Weather.
Maddie, bring that robot
to Mount Weather on the double.
- [screaming continues]
- MAN: Help!
One of the weapons
is back online.
What?
Moving towards
Mount Weather facility
and all the new spawn
growing within.
[tense music playing]
[speaking alien language]
[drone humming]
There's another one
of those drones flying over us.
I'd rather
take my chances out there
- than what's in here with us.
- No!
We can't let what's in here
with us get out there,
not by any means.
[growling]
All right,
you ugly son of a bitch.
Let's go.
[speaking alien language]
- Tom--
- I am not deserting my post.
If they get me,
then Madolyn can wipe
them all out with her robot.
[screams echoing]
[controls whining]
It's failing.
[grunts]
Whoa.
Sh--
- Madolyn. Ma--
- [screams echoing]
Here they come.
There's no way
we're gonna get home.
We'll get as many
as are in this clip.
[gunfire]
[groans]
[alarms beeping]
Dad!
Dad, do you copy?
[distant explosions booming]
Dad, the robot's all messed up.
Dad, do you copy?
Are you there?
[growling]
[speaking alien language]
Oh, h-hang on. Hang on.
Hang on. Hang on.
Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
- I'm unarmed.
- [hisses]
Hey, look. Look, look, look.
I'm from NASA.
I'm from NASA. I'm from NASA.
Hey, whoa. Hey, look.
Look. Look, look.
- Ho oh oh.
- [breathing heavily]
No, look!
It's a radio.
See? It's harmless.
It's harmless.
[winces]
- See?
- [teeth chattering]
It's a trophy. I-I won this.
I-I put it in my bag
by accident,
a-and I wanted
to keep it safe, so...
- [clicking tongue]
- Yeah.
- [clicking tongue]
- [gasps]
[clang]
[wailing]
[groaning]
[moaning]
[console beeping]
[roars]
No! No!
No!
- [clang]
- [all moaning]
Yes. [grunts]
[alarms blaring]
[console beeping]
Okay.
QUINN: Okay.
[growling]
[shrieks]
Easy. Easy.
There's no time.
There's no time.
Take cover! Take cover!
Dad, take cover!
That's--That's not my dad.
Oh, man.
They're all getting out!
[tense music playing]
Alien spaceship
fights a tornado.
I'll let you know
who wins, Maddie.
I love you.
[energy crackling]
Quinn!
- Quinn.
- [grunts]
- Quinn, are you okay? You okay?
- [coughing]
[gasps]
[laughs]
[sighs]
You, um...
You owe me five bucks.
- [scoffs]
- [laughs]
The--The asteroid,
it was never meant to hit Earth.
They needed us,
humans, to repopulate
their species.
Yeah, those things, they, um...
they got into the facility,
and they turned everyone into...
whatever.
Dad?
Mm-mmm.
But he kept them from turning
any more of us into one of them.
He was a hero,
and he saved our lives.
[chuckles]
We can't let that be in vain.
He would have--
He would have already started
helping rebuild the world.
Do you think
that we could do that
as friends, instead of rivals?
I know that was my idea.
[chuckles]
Peace.
[laughs]
Honestly, Quinn,
I don't even know anymore.
[chuckles]
Okay.
Fine.
[together] Agree to disagree.
- [laughs]
- Oh, my God.
[sighs]
Let's get up.
What are you doing
fighting aliens?
[sighs]
- [winces]
- Just--
- You okay?
- Yeah.
All right.
[groans]
