War of the Worlds: Extinction (2024) Movie Script
1
[epic music playing]
General Skuller's log: Earth was dying.
Humans fled in search of a new inhabitable planet.
And they found ours, Emios.
Emios was peaceful and prosperous until one month ago,
when Earth attacked!
Humans look just like us,
but they were hidden
behind their armor and advanced weaponry
dropped from the skies like rain!
While our troops under my command
mounted a formidable defense,
refugees began pouring in from Earth.
To my disgust, the leaders of Emios
began negotiating a cease-fire.
Some of my troops even turned on me,
choosing to peacefully welcome our dangerous invaders.
Even my beloved daughter, Clia, began to support them.
I knew then what I know now.
We must keep fighting, no matter what.
If we don't,
these invaders will take over Emios completely,
leaving us with nothing.
Fall back! Fall back!
Even as Emiosian leaders and soldiers
insist on providing refuge
for the Earth invaders who laid siege to our home first,
my army will fight on.
Go, go, go!
Earth's aggressors must know
that we will never back down ever.
General Skuller out.
[soft music playing]
[clanking]
Keep your heads down!
[dramatic music playing]
- We're under attack! - What about the cease-fire?!
Returning fire.
Hostile fire! Engage! Engage!
-Let's go! -Get help!
[shouting]
Ah!
[clanking]
Dad?
Clia?
Who are these people? Are they Emiosian?
No, Dad. They're refugees from Earth.
We have to get these humans to safety.
Clia, are you crazy?
That's a blatant act of treason.
They aren't soldiers, and their planet is dying.
Humans are allowed safe transport to Emios.
Clia, are you blind?
Their kind are attacking our planet.
The war is over. We have to help them.
They don't deserve to die.
Dad, there is a cease-fire. Call off your troops.
Clia, wait. There's too many hostiles that way.
Just head back to base, and I'll call them off.
I'm trusting you.
You go. You understand? Now.
Take them with you.
We need to get out of here!
This way! Come on, let's go.
CLIA: Keep up, come on!
-[clanking] -It's getting closer!
Run, run, run!
Clia! Clia, no!
[wails] No!
No!
[tragic music playing]
[clanking]
General.
Sir, respectfully, it's your responsibility
to authorize swift military action.
And we are way, way beyond the point of mercy.
They have come here to eradicate us.
They have come here to wipe us out.
My condolences for the loss of your daughter,
but I cannot condone this action
when the lives of billions more would be threatened.
Quite frankly, Consul,
I did not come here for your sympathy.
I came here for a worm-strike.
Now authorize it!
Mobilize a FOG-class Arsenal Cruiser convoy.
Do it now!
Escalating military action
is no longer an option at this time.
You surrender?
Is that it?
You surrender?
A cease-fire
so peace talks can be established
and met by both sides,
so more humans can travel here to Emios.
We are ready to welcome them.
Your obsolescence is outmatched only by your cowardice.
You are not dismissed.
[laughs]
You're pathetic.
General Skuller!
Sir.
At ease, Lieutenant.
Clia.
I can't believe she's...
she's gone.
She loved you, Moffat.
She sure did.
Well, Moffat, we're never helpless,
as long as we never avoid the brutal facts.
And the brutal fact is that decisions have to be made.
What kind of decisions?
Well, Nido's surrendered,
and he's ordered all military divisions to stand down.
I refuse to quit...
to give in to an enemy that has taken so much
from you, from me...
from all of us.
So what do you say, Moffat?
You in?
Absolutely, sir.
Excellent.
We will respond in kind
and destroy all life on planet Earth at once.
That will require an offensive
utilizing every ship we have.
We will utilize the Terraemotus to destroy their planet.
Sir, that's a myth.
Many have searched.
None have found it.
I mean, there are theories that--
The device is real.
Planetary intelligence keeps classified dossiers
on the Terraemotus.
Our government has been well aware of this planet killer.
Only high-ranking defense commanders
such as myself have had access to the dossier.
Sir?
Do they know where it is?
What we do know
is that there are three different keys
in three different locations on planet Earth.
After each key is inserted into the Terraemotus,
it will unleash disasters that will wipe out humanity.
But without the Terraemotus,
we cannot begin to even figure out
where these keys are located.
No one in the Archaeological Divisions
has ever searched for its whereabouts.
Is that, uh, correct?
Not a one.
We've been convinced it wasn't real by superior officers.
Well, then, Moffat...
you'll be the one to find it.
Why should we tolerate humans on our pristine planet
when they're refused to stop polluting their own?
Earth transports keep bringing refugees here.
You're gonna board one of those transports
and return to Earth.
But the Earth's atmosphere, it's poison.
I've arranged for you to have
a tracheal filter surgery during transport.
That will allow you
to blend in easier with humans once you're there.
I'll have your documents ready in time for your departure.
Yes, sir.
Me and my entire team
will have the same procedure so that we'll be ready
the second you tell us that you found the Terraemotus.
If you find it, Moffat, we win the war.
If you don't,
Emios will cease to exist.
Do it for Clia.
Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
You are not cleared for wormhole entry path mark five.
Command, identify.
[controls warble]
Aft cannons ready.
On your mark, General.
Exit point release.
Skuller?
Both batteries, target wormhole station gate on my command.
Stand by.
NIDO: Final warning.
Surrender now,
or I will order your vessel fired upon.
Stand by to fire.
Now.
Station gate is dismantled.
The wormhole is severed.
Human transports can no longer land
on Emios at this time, General.
Good.
Very good.
Hundreds of millions of them
still remain on the planet,
so I intend to eliminate every last one of them
once I get my hands on the Terraemotus.
Even if that means sacrificing my own life to do it.
Let's see how they handle their own weapons, shall we?
Prepare to fire on my command.
This war has only just begun.
Fire.
[dramatic music playing]
- [alarm blares] - Sir!
Nairobi has just been hit with a plasma cannon
fired by an Emiosian Arsenal Cruiser.
Casualties are in the hundreds of thousands.
The Kenyan government has just declared a state of emergency.
An Emiosian Cruiser in orbit?
Emiosian registry affirmative.
Position, 180 miles above Earth.
General!
Zeta-One Station has been destroyed.
The wormhole entry to Emios has collapsed.
Earth has yet to mobilize any form of counterattack, sir.
They will.
Moffat's been on Earth two months now.
Here's her last report, sent 12 hours ago.
[static crackling]
A pyramid-shaped item in the Provette Museum's artifacts
has nearly identical markings
to the ancient Sirta region in South America.
But we don't have much time.
The humans are prepping it for transport to Emios,
along with several other artifacts.
Clear evidence points the pyramid-shaped item
to being the Terraemotus.
The museum is located in Los Angeles.
[muttering]
Just imagine everything we're leaving behind on Earth
still undiscovered.
Well, think of it as a new beginning, Sybil.
Fresh start for everyone.
Emiosians, humans come together.
Yeah, except one of them wasn't aware of the arrangement.
And can we-- [clears throat] at least agree
that it'll be nice to walk outside
and not need this to breathe?
Yeah, agreed.
I-I guess it's maybe not the best time to ask,
but, uh, have you given any thought
to what we talked about last night?
Moving in together is a big step.
- Yeah, yeah. - Let's just get to Emios first,
and then we'll--we'll figure out if we're ready, okay?
Yeah. Yeah, of course. [laughs]
Of course.
[chimes tinkling]
Oh, let me help you with that.
- Hear that? - [chimes tinkling]
How can you not think it's a music box?
The markings on the dial are far too similar
to Proto-Sirtat, circa 1300 BCE.
That predates Swiss mechanics by 3,000 years.
You sound like your sister,
cut and dry, no margin for error.
Well, Maria and I haven't seen eye to eye on much.
Especially after I refused to return to the IEDS
once we invaded Emios.
Listen, you did what you thought was right,
and that's all that matters.
Can I help you finish packing this item
to go to the transports?
No, we're almost done.
Uh, Scott's already captured the digitized images.
All that's left is to secure it for travel.
This item has to be very carefully stored.
There are fragile moving parts inside.
[chimes tinkle]
Any theories as to what it is yet?
We think it might be some kind
of obscure puzzle box or music box,
even though it predates all other music boxes
by thousands of years.
The markings on the dial...
iconography dating back to around 1300 BCE?
We've been working for months to decipher these symbols.
They seem to correspond to a unique style of writing,
but of course we've only begun to scratch the surface.
[latches click]
Thank you.
Okay, let's go.
Arsenal Cruiser has made no attempt for radio contact.
Emios is not holding to the cease-fire, sir.
If that's true,
they would send more than one Arsenal Cruiser.
There's something wrong here.
Williams, scramble Starhawk Flight Wing, Alpha.
We're at DEFCON one.
This is Polar Base Vertex.
Starhawk Flight Wing, what's your status?
Alpha Scramble.
Starhawk, Alpha Scramble.
Repeat, we are at DEFCON one.
We need recon on that Cruiser!
[alarm blares]
Starhawks on approach, sir.
Initiate descent.
Sir.
Emiosian Arsenal Cruiser now on approach.
To Los Angeles.
There you go.
- [beeping] - Sybil?
Sybil, come in.
Yes. Andres, I told you not to contact me.
Sybil, listen to me.
I need you and Jill
to get to one of the bomb shelters immediately.
Whoever you're with, take 'em with you, and get to safety now.
Why? What's happening?
There's been an attack.
Nairobi was hit by an Emiosian gunship,
and now they're headed to Los Angeles.
What about the cease-fire?
[rumbling]
[tense music playing]
[distant laser fire]
JILL: It's the Emiosians' Arsenal Cruiser!
We're under attack!
SCOTT: It's picking off Starhawks like they're nothing!
I expected the humans to put up much more of a fight.
This is...
who we were forced to negotiate peace with?
WILLIAMS: Sir!
Starhawks down.
[tense music playing]
Find Moffat.
Find the Terraemotus.
Burn the entire place to the ground if you have to.
And don't you dare come back without it.
Yes, General.
[pressure seal opens]
There's guys out there in uniform with guns.
Oh, my God.
We need to move everyone to safety.
- Okay. Okay. - Come on. Come on.
Take the artifacts.
Get down, get down! Take cover!
You okay?
Ma'am...
where's the Terraemotus?
Alexis, you're one of them.
We can't let Skuller have it.
We're making a mistake finding the keys.
We can't destroy Earth.
Had a change of heart, have we, Lieutenant?
You don't have to do this.
The human race doesn't deserve to die.
I-I've seen their compassion.
They're not all our enemies.
They only want to survive, the same as we do.
And I have my orders. Give it to me.
- Whoa, Jill! Jill! Jill, don't! - No! No, you can't take it!
- No! - [rifle fires]
You're coming with us.
Destroy her communicator.
Yes, sir!
Please, please, it's of no use to you.
- Go. - N-No, don't take her.
- Take me instead. - No, no, no. I've studied it.
I know the proto-Sirtatic symbols, the backgrounds.
- I know-- - I have read her notes.
Her hypothesis is all wrong.
You need me to help you,
Jill, it's okay.
I'm gonna be all right.
Mom, I love you.
I love you.
My mom...
Stay there, or I'll have her killed.
[tense music playing]
General Skuller.
Lieutenant.
[chimes tinkling]
We found it, sir.
Excellent.
[chimes tinkling]
Excellent.
And, uh, Moffat?
She changed sides, sir.
She tried to destroy the device. I...
I had to stop her.
But we have a prisoner, sir,
a human who studied the Terraemotus,
and I thought it'd be best to question her over all the rest.
The others?
The prisoner, sir.
SKULLER: Activate the Terraemotus.
Tell me where the first key is.
I know nothing about it.
You're running out of time before I end your life
in ways that you could have never, ever imagined.
Now activate the device so...
I can destroy the Earth.
You'll just have to kill me, then.
That's your plan anyway, isn't it,
kill everyone on the planet?
Only, you have no idea how to do it,
and neither do I.
We'll bring in the 439th, sir.
They can translate this dial--
No. I need actual knowledge of the Terraemotus,
knowledge that you have.
Sir, incoming message from your daughter.
Patching her through.
- [beep] - Jill.
Dad, they took her. They took Mom.
They had an Emiosian infiltrate the museum.
She's been working with us for weeks.
Tell him about the ship-- They knew exactly where we were
and what they were looking for, thanks to her.
They took your mother? Where?
JILL: I don't know where.
They think she knows something about an artifact.
What artifact?
Scott, Mom, and I have been studying it.
Yeah, we don't know why they would take it,
but that's definitely what they were after.
Alexis said something about keys,
that--that the human race doesn't deserve to die
and they were making a mistake looking for the keys.
Somehow, these keys are gonna destroy Earth.
Jill, what keys? What are you talking about?
I need you to get to Maria at Midhurst Air Field.
You have to be somewhere safe.
The Emiosians have captured your mother.
They may come back for you now! Do you understand me?
Be there in 20.
[device beeps]
Okay.
MARIA: Yes, Dad.
Midhurst saw the Emiosian Arsenal Cruiser in the city,
but we were told to take no further action.
Maria, your mother is on that ship.
Uh, keep in close contact,
and send me any briefings that come in.
Speaking of which, your sister and Scott
are en route to your base now.
I need you two to put your differences aside
and work together on this.
Understood.
And, Dad...
we'll get her back.
Do you think there's something inside the Terraemotus?
Something they need?
Mm, maybe.
You know, I think it's the dial inside the Terraemotus
that's key to really understanding this thing.
Positioned in a certain way,
hopefully it reveals what we're looking for.
These glyphs, they're strikingly similar
to Proto-Sirtat litiform.
Maybe--Maybe the dial opens the pyramid
and the keys' locations are inside it.
We just need to figure out the combination.
But it could take decades
to understand those symbols.
Yeah.
I've got our notes here.
There's no door or panels on the artifact.
Mom kept thinking it was a music box.
She would hear chimes in it.
Yeah, but nothing like that existed before 1770.
That we know of.
Okay, so...
40 segments on the dial.
Proto-Sirtat-like glyphs.
15,000 syllables in the English language.
Do we think the combination is a word
or a series of words, a phrase?
How could any of this possibly be a threat to human existence?
Uh, if we'd known what it was, we would have destroyed it.
Alexis, or whoever she was,
tried to, and they killed her.
Why?
...you are cleared to land.
Do you think your mom would be able to read
this thing they stole?
Possibly. We took careful notes.
Scott and I have been trying to decipher it further,
see if we can get some clues to where they might be taking her.
Yeah, no, I brought her notes and all of the reference guides.
They're in here.
Well, we would know where Mom is
if you didn't leave the IEDS.
She would be in a secure facility on Emios.
That wouldn't make her any safer.
This whole conflict began on Emios
when we invaded a peaceful planet.
Okay, we don't get to pick and choose
our conflicts we like or don't like, Jill.
They threatened us first,
and that came from the Polar Vertex.
And I fought on Emios to save humanity.
We invaded Emios, guns shooting,
God help whoever got in our way.
Why did you abandon your own military?
I refused to return, because this war was unjustified.
We went about this the wrong way,
and it is gonna cost us everything we have left.
Emios is the only thing we have.
Exactly!
The Emiosians said that this device
reveals the locations to keys
that will trigger disasters that will destroy the world.
Wherever they're taking Mom,
if we can get there first,
if we can decipher the Terraemotus
and get to the keys before the Emiosians do,
we may be able to save Earth.
Sergeant, set up the hangar.
Copy that, General.
Scott, Jill, follow me.
Thank you.
SKULLER: We must find the first key.
Lieutenant Batt, your team failed to kill the others
that were with Sybil at the time of her capture, correct?
If there's a base nearby,
perhaps that's where they've gone.
Midhurst Air Field, sir.
It's in the vicinity.
Activate the Terraemotus,
or I'll have Lieutenant Batt here
wipe that base off the map.
You understand?
- Look at this one over here. - No, but it's exactly the same.
See how that matches right there?
See--See how that's the same?
- And, see... - Is there more?
See, that matches with this.
- Hey. - Hey. Yeah.
That could be it.
So did we figure out how to save Earth yet?
- [chuckles] - Uh, Scott and I
have been studying the symbols on the dial
and building combinations
that correspond with geographic locations.
Yeah, but--but only geographic locations
that were built between 3500 and 1500 BCE.
So we've narrowed it down to 206 possible combinations.
I mean, these look like random words.
"Heads bronze."
"Bronze head."
"Circle blue stones."
I mean, it's all gibberish words.
- Well... - Keep in mind,
we're dealing with a dead language, so...
Okay, so how does all this help us figure out where Mom is?
Well, Alexis said they're looking for keys, but--
but maybe the keys aren't inside the box.
What if the dial
points us to the location of where they are?
Right. From the markings on the Terraemotus,
we can see ancient burial carvings
from Egyptian, Peruvian tableau,
and that suggests that these two cultures
have a much deeper connection
than we've ever previously thought.
Yeah.
I am done playing games with you.
Aoush, hwey, jur, azya.
Oshway yurazha.
That means, um, "forward eye"
in a later Sirtat dialect.
What is this symbol here at the top.
Phe, rau...
daesh, sthe.
What is this symbol? This one here?
Kwaeth, double or two.
Something having to do with two.
A dual, uh...
ruler, king.
[clicking]
What just happened? What...
What have you done?
It locked itself into position.
JILL: So we're thinking
that the keys may be located in burial sites.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, right.
Um...
these phase variants,
"king two, four empire," right?
That's the second ruler, fourth kingdom.
Two ruler, four kingdom.
That has to be Khufu,
second pharaoh of the fourth empire.
"Dehn sthe"
could be "empire" or--or "regime."
Where's the key?
Tell me now.
SCOTT: So...
well, he's buried in...
The great pyramid of Giza, the resting place of Khufu,
second pharaoh, Fourth Dynasty of Egypt.
That has to be where they're going.
Right? I mean, I don't see anything
that suggests Peru for the first key, so...
I mean, it has to be in Egypt.
Yeah.
[laughs]
You two make a good team.
You better not be lying.
Okay. I guess we're going to go to Egypt,
help save Mom, and stop them from destroying Earth.
- Good work. - [laughs]
[epic music playing]
[adventurous music playing]
Batt, come in!
Batt, I need a status report.
Go ahead, sir.
Acknowledge.
Searched three chambers so far, General.
There's no sign of any key yet.
We must unleash the first disaster
before the others find the keys' location!
Do you understand that?
[alarm beeps]
SKULLER: Incoming!
Incoming Earth craft!
ANDRES: Maria, I mobilized the Starhawks
from the IEDS base in Aqaba, Egypt.
They've been waiting ever since he appeared on their radar.
Copy that. We'll proceed with caution.
Hopefully Skuller's hands will be too full
dealing with the Aqaba fleet to notice your approach to Giza.
But, baby, you better be careful.
Thanks, Dad.
Take us down.
We have to get that key before Skuller does.
Time to show them what this thing can do.
Yeah!
[tense music playing]
You've lied to us.
There is no key.
Look, let me carry the Terraemotus.
You're not to be trusted.
That artifact is thousands of years old.
It is ancient and fragile.
That's why it isn't working?
This is the location.
Maybe your general made a mistake.
[chime rings]
Listen.
[chime rings]
I hear it.
[chime ringing]
What is that sound?
And where is it coming from?
It's coming from the Terraemotus...
like a music box.
We can rule out the King's and Queen's Chambers
and the Grand Gallery.
Why is that?
Do you know how many tourists have been through this place,
touching everything?
If there was a key in one of those chambers,
some bored 12-year-old would have found it years ago.
Keep an eye out.
So what do you suggest?
It means that the key is probably in a place
that's closed off from the public.
The unfinished Subterranean Chamber.
It was supposed to be King Khufu's burial chamber
before he wanted it moved to a higher spot.
Yeah.
- [chime ringing] - Why is it playing music?
I think--I think it's leading us to the key.
Better be right about this.
[chime rings]
[chimes ring]
I hear something, General.
So do I.
Someone's coming.
- [chimes ringing musically] - This way.
[chimes ringing rapidly]
SYBIL: Jill! Maria! Look out!
Mom!
[dramatic music playing]
Go!
[winces]
Maria!
There.
There's where the key is.
I got you. I got you.
All right, stop shooting, or she dies!
Get up!
[grunts]
[groans]
No! You'll unleash the first disaster!
[rumbling]
[dramatic music playing]
Come on! Jill, Ben, let's go!
- I got her! We gotta go! - No! No!
- We gotta go! - [screams]
BATT: General, the first key
has been inserted into the Terraemotus.
The first disaster appears to have started.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
I have confirmation of volcanoes erupting worldwide.
The first step towards the Earth's total destruction.
Commendable work, men.
Move it! Let's go!
Let's go! Come on!
Guys, let's go!
Come on!
- Maria! - Ben, come on!
JILL: Maria, let's go!
[tragic music playing]
- General. - [alarm sounding]
There are alerts of extreme volcanic activity.
I'll show you.
Eritrea, El Salvador, Mexico.
These haven't erupted since the 1800s.
Most of them have been dormant.
Up until now.
I don't know what's going on, General.
Your emotions are justified.
The key triggered the first disaster,
which set off a wave of volcanic eruptions
that's killing tens of millions of people on your planet.
And the other two will finish the job.
Trust me, the more lives you end,
the easier it is to accept loss.
No.
No, never again.
I used to say that to myself...
many, many years ago.
Now, the second key,
tell me where it is so I can trigger the second disaster.
SCOTT: The pyramid began to collapse
as soon as Batt put the key in the Terraemotus.
Yeah, we could have...
We lost a key, and Ben's gone.
Okay? And who knows how many more casualties?
We can't afford any more losses.
Jill, get your head back in the game.
I just need to know that you're an asset
or a liability and how many others are gonna get killed?
Whoa! Back off, Maria, okay?
Jill's the reason we're here and we're alive.
Not all of us.
Okay, and there's still hundreds of millions of lives
at stake on this planet.
Let's find where the second key is located
and stop the next disaster from happening.
Or would you rather keep wasting time attacking me?
I'd rather you not hesitate.
'Cause the Jill Alfaro that I used to know,
she would have acted, not hesitated.
Focus on the mission.
Copy that.
Okay, all ri--Okay, um...
The first key, it was--
it was located at an ancient burial site.
And based on the Egyptian, Peruvian tableau,
we can predict that the next key
will probably be at an ancient burial site.
We just need to keep one of the remaining keys
from Skuller, and he loses.
Based on the time period,
uh, we can assume that it's likely made of bronze,
Mortise design.
Barrel type.
So if we're making the connection
between the Terraemotus
and Egyptian and Peruvian cultures,
then chances are one of the remaining keys
is somewhere in Peru.
Do you think that's where Skuller's headed?
What about the list of words and syllables?
Can that help?
I mean, there are so many possibilities.
Well, why don't you read some out loud?
Maybe we can rule them out.
Okay.
Okay, "bronze head."
"Heads bronze."
"Bronze heads."
Easter Island.
That place with the big heads.
No. No, no, no, no.
That's not made of bronze.
It's carved from ash.
Ash? Are you sure?
Yes, Maria, he's sure.
It's his job to know.
Bronze heads could be Sanxingdui.
I mean, that place has been picked clean for decades.
I would have a hard time believing the key's there.
But what about "sun's bright"?
"Bright sun rays."
"Bright sun."
It could be Matul.
There's no one buried at Matul.
Okay, uh--Oh.
"Blue stone circle."
"Circle blue stone."
"Stone blue circle."
Wait...
That has to be Stonehenge, right?
Right.
There's no one buried there.
- Yes, there are. - Yes, there are.
Okay. All right, so...
we have the Great Pyramid.
Mm-hmm.
And going on our Peruvian, Egyptian theory,
we can assume the next location's in Peru.
So that would mean the other name on the list...
What are you doing?
What do you see?
A triangle.
Not just a triangle.
An isosceles.
Two sides of equal length.
Exactly. Same as the Terraemotus.
Okay, so it's an isosceles triangle.
You can point that in any direction in the world.
It doesn't necessarily mean
it's going to be pointed to Stonehenge.
No, no, you can't, okay?
If you change the location,
the size of the triangle changes.
And keep in mind, we start in Egypt,
and we finish in Peru.
Okay, are you sure that there's three keys?
That's a good point.
Although, based on the evidence,
I'm fairly certain there's only three keys.
Wait. What if the dial itself represents the third location?
Yeah, that--that could be right.
Okay, there were three slots for the keys.
So let's start there.
You better be right. We have no time
for mistakes lost in translation.
We need to head to Stonehenge.
Uh-huh. Let's go.
Let me be very direct with you, okay?
The longer you delay, the worse it will be for your daughters.
Do you understand?
I will tear your daughters into pieces!
You'll beg me...
to kill them.
They fought back, and they will continue to fight.
I'll find the keys.
You know I will.
It's just a matter of how much more agony
you want your daughters to endure until then.
You know I'll enjoy torturing them.
Newgrange, Ireland.
That's where the second key is.
Are you certain?
100%.
You've chosen wisely.
Let's go.
[majestic music playing]
SCOTT: This is incredible.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you know this was under here?
No.
SCOTT: I think I see lanterns up ahead.
How is that possible?
JILL: Natural gas vents.
But they must have been burning for thousands of years.
[tense music playing]
Well, this is the only chamber.
Every alcove empty.
The device has been dead quiet
since we entered the inner corridor.
Explain yourself.
Are you sure we're at the right location?
Are you going to blame me every time that thing
isn't working the way you expect?
The second key isn't here.
Where is it?
Well, maybe the Terraemotus got damaged in the fight.
The device was undamaged on the ship.
Yet here, it fails to be operational?
I don't know what to tell you.
What did I tell you
about giving the General the truth?
I can't protect you from harm if you refuse to cooperate.
You've already done enough harm.
All of you.
She lied to us.
We're at the wrong location.
There is no key.
Did you bring us to the wrong location?
You've made a terrible mistake.
[tense music playing]
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[screaming] No!
[wails]
[mysterious music playing]
This must have been the burial chamber.
If the second key is anywhere, it's probably here.
Wow.
Are you sure it's in the walls?
I mean, it really could be anywhere.
Wait, wait, wait! Guys!
- What-- - I think I found something.
Hold on! What if it's booby-trapped?
The last chamber collapsed on us.
Don't touch anything.
Uh, we gotta be careful.
Okay, okay, wait.
The pyramid collapsed
as soon as he put the key inside the Terraemotus,
not before.
MARIA: Are you sure about that?
We remove the key.
JILL: We can't let Skuller have it.
Okay, well, let's hurry.
Yeah, yeah.
- [thud] - What's happening?
Did you remove the key?
I don't know. Is that coming from above?
[rumbling]
We gotta get out. We gotta--
- Go! Go! Go! Go! - Let's go. Let's go.
- Go! Go! Move! - Come on! Come on!
- Run! Run! - Move!
Mom!
- You're all safe. - Mom.
They tortured me.
- I'm so sorry. - No. No.
- Forgive me. - Tell us where the key is,
or I'll blow your mother away!
Tell us where they key is!
- Now! - Don't shoot!
No. No, I can't.
I can't. There's too many lives at stake.
Get the key.
[groans]
SCOTT: No!
Get on the ship, all of you, now.
Okay, we got you, Mom. It's okay.
We got you.
Let's go. Move it.
- Move it. - Come on.
Scott!
BATT: Not you.
You're going to take me to the key.
Move it!
[gasping]
[coughing]
Where's the keyhole?
[groans]
[coughs]
No.
No.
[grunts]
[panting]
[sighs]
[panting]
[grunts]
No!
No, no, no!
[rumbling]
[coughing]
[winces]
Don't you ever quit?
[gasping]
[engines rumbling]
We're moving.
Skuller, you son of a bitch!
- [pounding] - Jill?
Jill, is that you?
Jill!
Jill, is that you?
Can you hear me?
Scott? I--
I'm here.
Are you hurt?
Eh, no, no, no.
I-I'm fine.
A-Are you all right?
Scott! Scott, we're gonna get out of this together!
Yeah. No, I know we are.
I know we are, but l-listen to me.
The second key...
it's been inserted into the Terraemotus.
There's only one key left
before the Earth is completely destroyed.
WILLIAMS: Sir, there's a series of earthquakes
happening all over the United Kingdom.
When did that start?
Minutes ago. The largest, a magnitude 9.3,
centered off Salisbury.
And there's other reports
of it happening all over Northern Europe.
[rumbling]
Initiate and open the frequency to the Arsenal Cruiser.
I will speak directly with General Skuller.
Skuller must be stopped.
We can't make him turn the final key.
So your daughter has planned to stop me.
[chuckles]
[panel beeps]
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[groaning]
No. No, please.
Please stop hurting them.
- [faint pulsing] - Hey, wait! Stop!
- [muffled groaning] - Stop!
Don't hurt them!
Don't hurt them! Stop!
Stop it!
[groaning continues]
Please.
The third key.
Find it.
You have to stop hurting them.
- [faint pulsing] - [muffled groaning]
- [sighs]
[pulsing stops]
[panting]
General, we're receiving a transmission.
From who?
General Alfaro, sir.
General Skuller.
I am General Andres Alfaro of the IEDS.
Dad?
I'm asking you to stop this crusade of yours,
to stop your desire to destroy the Earth
and kill millions of innocent people.
We can meet face to face
and come to a suitable solution, you and I.
Well, well, well.
General Alfaro.
To what do I owe this great...
great pleasure?
This has to stop.
This killing of innocent people,
millions of innocent people,
it must stop now.
We can compromise.
We can negotiate, you and I.
Compromise?
You have nothing of value to me.
It was me, General.
It was me.
I gave the order...
to invade your planet, Emios.
No one else is to blame.
I did it to save the Earth, my planet.
I gave the orders for our troops
to attack your pristine planet unprovoked
so we could take it after we had destroyed our own.
There's no one to blame but me.
That was my call.
Jill, Maria, I'm so sorry.
It was a lie?
We attacked Emios over a lie?
We invaded a peaceful planet.
Andres, what have you done?
All those innocent lives?
What would you have me do, Sybil?
Let our daughters die on this planet?
They're gonna die, anyway!
I'll give you the location for the third key
if you guarantee safe passage
for Jill and Maria back to Emios.
Sybil, no!
Don't do that, Sybil!
Don't!
Agreed.
Your daughters will be given safe passage to Emios
once the wormhole has been reestablished.
No, Sybil, don't!
You can't!
Go get Jill.
Yes, sir.
Sybil, listen to me. Think of all the children.
Sybil, don't!
[yells]
Maria.
No!
- Maria! - Jill.
- Jill! Jill! - Maria!
Jill!
Jill!
Where did you take her?!
Hey! Where did you take Jill?
Maria?!
Maria, is that you?
Can you--Can you hear me?
M-Maria?
Scott!
Maria, wh-where did they take Jill?
I don't know. Skuller took her.
Where did they take her, Maria?!
I don't know.
Okay, the third location
is the Chavn de-- de Huntar in Peru.
Jill.
- Mom? - Jill. Let me--
Let me by. Let me see her.
- Jill. - Mom.
Oh, my God.
Skuller!
You're pathetic, General.
- Mom... - You see, Sybil...
humans don't care about anyone else's lives but their own.
Baby, please.
Earth took away my daughter.
Now Emios will take yours.
- No! - No!
No! Where are you taking her?
Skuller...
don't do this.
Skuller out.
[transmission beeps off]
This is my catastrophe.
I will stop Skuller myself.
Copy, sir.
[groaning]
Let her go.
General, your time to London is 15 minutes at Mach 6.
SYBIL: No!
No! No!
Jill!
T-Minus five minutes to Arsenal Cruiser.
They're both gone, sir.
Good riddance.
Set our coordinates for Peru.
We need to find the third key and trigger the final disaster.
WILLIAMS: Arsenal Cruiser is taking off,
but I'm detecting two human bodies
in the river below, both alive.
Hey!
Hey! Hello?
Watch your head. Watch your head.
[sighs]
Where's your mother?
[crying] I couldn't save her.
What happened?
The water was too strong. I--
I lost her, Dad. I lost her.
You knew.
I left the IED Elite Command because this war was a disgrace,
and you were the one who ordered it.
You kept this secret from us.
Jill, I had no choice.
It was the only thing I could do.
Our plans, they would have destroyed us
before we even entered their atmosphere.
Dad, look around!
This is winning?
Tens of millions have already died.
Skuller is going to answer for all this.
He still has Scott and Maria.
He's--He's headed for the third key.
I know where it is.
Your mother told Skuller
in exchange for you and your sister's lives.
[crying]
Batt, stay with the ship.
I'm going to retrieve that third key personally for Clia.
[chime rings]
[chime rings]
[chime rings]
[chime ringing steadily]
The device has led us to the precise location of each key.
If they're on-site already, he may know where it is.
We level the site,
and bury Skuller and the device with him.
No. Scott could be with them.
Mom was his main source of information on the Terraemotus.
He could be relying on Scott now.
We can't take that chance.
Sometimes sacrifices must be made, Jill.
You sound like Skuller.
Maria could be with them, too.
Jill--
Besides, Scott and I are--
I don't know what we are.
I just know I can't lose him or Maria.
And we can't let Skuller trigger the next disaster.
Okay.
Okay.
Activate the proximity jammer.
And if he has gotten there before us,
maybe he won't notice our approach.
Thank you.
MARIA: Hey, Scott.
I think I found a way out.
[door hisses]
[groans]
[yells]
You find Scott and Maria.
I'm going after Skuller.
Mm-hmm.
[grunts]
[steady chiming]
[rapid chiming]
[Maria panting]
[yelps]
[groans]
[body thuds]
[Maria panting]
- [kick thumps] - [winces]
- [kick thumps] - [winces]
Maria!
Maria!
Maria! We gotta go.
We gotta get to the third key location before Skuller does.
Come on!
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[groaning]
- Jill! - Scott.
I can't lose you again.
I don't care what danger we're in.
I missed you, too.
Where's Skuller?
I think we just landed.
He must be still on-site.
Come on. He can't be that far.
Let's go.
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[groaning]
[steady chiming]
Ah...
[rifle fires]
[groans]
It's over.
Your crusade failed, Skuller.
Earth is safe,
and you'll be held accountable for everything that you've done.
[groans]
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[warbling stops]
[panting]
[groans]
Dad!
MARIA: Dad!
He's dead.
And he deserved it.
Shoot him!
Shoot him, Jill.
Killing him won't bring Dad back.
It won't bring Mom or Ben back, either.
Do it. Do it.
Shoot me.
Shoot me!
He murdered them!
You want to let him get away with that?!
You don't have the guts.
Do it. Do it!
Coming here to destroy Earth makes you no better
than those who ordered the attack on your planet.
Is that right?
[chuckles] Yeah?
The man who planned that attack was your father!
Y-You think...
I'm gonna let his daughters live...
after he took my Clia?
- Do you? - Back, Jill.
- Huh?! - Back!
- Huh?! - Back! Go!
Go!
[rifle fires]
[dramatic music playing]
[chimes ring]
[rumbling]
JILL: You triggered the final disaster!
You've doomed this planet, and everyone on it could die!
MARIA: We're gonna die in here! Let's go! Let's go!
[rumbling]
[dramatic music playing]
No, no, no, no! Run back! Back!
Run! Move! Move!
Jill, let's go!
[water rushing]
[rumbling]
Hold on. We're gonna jump.
Volcanoes...
earthquakes...
now floods.
Each one of them are catastrophic by themselves,
but you trigger all three at once, it's...
it's the end of the world.
Wait. Wait.
Don't disembark.
What? Why?
- Scott. - Wh-What?
Remember to plant those white calla lilies for me, okay?
Yeah... Wh-What are you talking about?
The garden.
It's going to be wonderful.
Listen, it's our garden.
That's--We're gonna plant it together.
What are you-- I don't understand.
Skuller.
He's still down there,
and so is the Terraemotus.
Yeah, so was ho--
It means that...
there's still a chance I can stop this.
- What are you talk-- - I can save Earth.
- What do you mean? - No. Jill! That's suicide!
Maria, this time, I'm not hesitating.
JILL: Activate escape pod.
- MARIA: Jill! - I love you!
- Jill! You can't! - Jill!
[shudders]
Damn it, Jill.
We have to get to her.
Those currents are gonna kill her.
[ominous music playing]
Oh! Skuller!
[gasping]
No, no, no, no! [groans]
Careful! Careful!
You okay?
You...
You risked your life...
to save mine?
The Terraemotus...
you left in the anteroom, didn't you?
Yeah. Yeah.
Now the last disaster's unleashed...
every human will die...
as Earth floods.
Not everyone on Earth
is a monster that must be murdered.
Humans came to destroy my peaceful planet.
They're violent, murderous ones.
I came here for justice.
This isn't murderous.
It's retribution.
[rocks falling]
JILL: Those rocks won't hold back the water much longer.
The floods are coming in.
We have to move.
- I can't. - Come on.
- Okay. - [wincing]
[grunting]
Oh, my leg! [groans]
Come on.
I can't.
[groaning] My...
- Go, go, go. [groans] - I got you.
- My weapon. My weapon. - I got it. I got it.
- Yep. - I can't...
Come on.
SCOTT: Where's Jill?
She hasn't come back up.
She hasn't come back up!
I don't know! I don't know!
Jill, where are you?
What does she mean,
"the Terraemotus is still down there"?
The flood's already happened,
so the damage is done.
Maybe. Maybe not. M-Maybe she can stop it
if she pulls the key out in time.
- Okay. - Let me help you.
Come on. Water's coming.
I'm coming.
[water flowing]
Oh, God.
You okay?
I'll be all right.
I'll be okay.
Look...
I'm human,
and you're still alive.
And there are plenty more like me
that you've sentenced to die by unleashing this flood.
You didn't win.
You won't return to Emios a hero.
Y-You'll be held responsible for the deaths
of hundreds of millions of innocents on Earth.
So what was it all for?
Clia.
It's Clia...
my daughter.
All she ever wanted to do is help people.
You can... you can still make her proud.
We can stop the floods from destroying the Earth,
but we have to act now.
The war is over.
We--We have to help these people.
Show them mercy.
They don't all deserve to die.
Help me.
Your compassion's like Clia.
She could never give up.
Never...
on anybody,
n-not even her enemies.
We can still make this right,
both of us, human and Emiosian fighting together.
I know.
I'm just...
tired of fighting.
I'm so, so tired.
It doesn't have to end like this for either of us.
The third key, we can--
we can remove it from the Terraemotus.
We can stop the flood.
We--We can make them recede.
Maybe Earth...
Maybe Earth isn't doomed to die after all.
- We've got to go. - Okay.
Let's go. Go, go, go, go, go!
[groans]
Here we go. [groans]
JILL: The inner chamber is above the waterline,
but not for long.
We have to find the Terraemotus.
I left it down here somewhere.
The Earth's gonna keep flooding until we remove the third key.
Okay.
Get ahold of this.
[both grunting]
Do you see it?
No.
I got this.
[groaning]
[both grunting]
SKULLER: Okay, good, good, good, good.
- I see it. Okay. - Yeah.
[dramatic music playing]
The one on the top.
You gotta remove with the third key.
[hopeful music playing]
[laughs] I got it.
- Let's go. Let's go. - Okay.
Wait. Th-There they are!
Look, they're--Go, go, go!
Wait, the water's receding.
I think--I think she did it.
You have to get to them. Come on.
Skuller, you traitor!
JILL: Batt's alive?
SKULLER: It's over, Batt!
If you won't finish this, I will!
[weapon firing]
- Run, run, run! Go! Go! - No, wait!
Come with me! We can both--
Go! I'll cover you!
[weapon firing]
[rifle firing]
[screams]
Skuller!
[rubble clattering]
SCOTT: You stopped Skuller?
Is he dead?
JILL: He saved my life.
He helped me save all our lives.
SCOTT: Looks like life on Earth gets a second chance.
Good.
I want our future children's first memories
to be of playing outside,
just like ours were.
Um...
"future children."
Does that mean...
I meant, like, way in the future.
Oh, right, yeah.
Of course.
But...
I can't wait to plant those calla lilies...
together.
Together.
[hopeful music playing]
[instrumental playing]
[epic music playing]
General Skuller's log: Earth was dying.
Humans fled in search of a new inhabitable planet.
And they found ours, Emios.
Emios was peaceful and prosperous until one month ago,
when Earth attacked!
Humans look just like us,
but they were hidden
behind their armor and advanced weaponry
dropped from the skies like rain!
While our troops under my command
mounted a formidable defense,
refugees began pouring in from Earth.
To my disgust, the leaders of Emios
began negotiating a cease-fire.
Some of my troops even turned on me,
choosing to peacefully welcome our dangerous invaders.
Even my beloved daughter, Clia, began to support them.
I knew then what I know now.
We must keep fighting, no matter what.
If we don't,
these invaders will take over Emios completely,
leaving us with nothing.
Fall back! Fall back!
Even as Emiosian leaders and soldiers
insist on providing refuge
for the Earth invaders who laid siege to our home first,
my army will fight on.
Go, go, go!
Earth's aggressors must know
that we will never back down ever.
General Skuller out.
[soft music playing]
[clanking]
Keep your heads down!
[dramatic music playing]
- We're under attack! - What about the cease-fire?!
Returning fire.
Hostile fire! Engage! Engage!
-Let's go! -Get help!
[shouting]
Ah!
[clanking]
Dad?
Clia?
Who are these people? Are they Emiosian?
No, Dad. They're refugees from Earth.
We have to get these humans to safety.
Clia, are you crazy?
That's a blatant act of treason.
They aren't soldiers, and their planet is dying.
Humans are allowed safe transport to Emios.
Clia, are you blind?
Their kind are attacking our planet.
The war is over. We have to help them.
They don't deserve to die.
Dad, there is a cease-fire. Call off your troops.
Clia, wait. There's too many hostiles that way.
Just head back to base, and I'll call them off.
I'm trusting you.
You go. You understand? Now.
Take them with you.
We need to get out of here!
This way! Come on, let's go.
CLIA: Keep up, come on!
-[clanking] -It's getting closer!
Run, run, run!
Clia! Clia, no!
[wails] No!
No!
[tragic music playing]
[clanking]
General.
Sir, respectfully, it's your responsibility
to authorize swift military action.
And we are way, way beyond the point of mercy.
They have come here to eradicate us.
They have come here to wipe us out.
My condolences for the loss of your daughter,
but I cannot condone this action
when the lives of billions more would be threatened.
Quite frankly, Consul,
I did not come here for your sympathy.
I came here for a worm-strike.
Now authorize it!
Mobilize a FOG-class Arsenal Cruiser convoy.
Do it now!
Escalating military action
is no longer an option at this time.
You surrender?
Is that it?
You surrender?
A cease-fire
so peace talks can be established
and met by both sides,
so more humans can travel here to Emios.
We are ready to welcome them.
Your obsolescence is outmatched only by your cowardice.
You are not dismissed.
[laughs]
You're pathetic.
General Skuller!
Sir.
At ease, Lieutenant.
Clia.
I can't believe she's...
she's gone.
She loved you, Moffat.
She sure did.
Well, Moffat, we're never helpless,
as long as we never avoid the brutal facts.
And the brutal fact is that decisions have to be made.
What kind of decisions?
Well, Nido's surrendered,
and he's ordered all military divisions to stand down.
I refuse to quit...
to give in to an enemy that has taken so much
from you, from me...
from all of us.
So what do you say, Moffat?
You in?
Absolutely, sir.
Excellent.
We will respond in kind
and destroy all life on planet Earth at once.
That will require an offensive
utilizing every ship we have.
We will utilize the Terraemotus to destroy their planet.
Sir, that's a myth.
Many have searched.
None have found it.
I mean, there are theories that--
The device is real.
Planetary intelligence keeps classified dossiers
on the Terraemotus.
Our government has been well aware of this planet killer.
Only high-ranking defense commanders
such as myself have had access to the dossier.
Sir?
Do they know where it is?
What we do know
is that there are three different keys
in three different locations on planet Earth.
After each key is inserted into the Terraemotus,
it will unleash disasters that will wipe out humanity.
But without the Terraemotus,
we cannot begin to even figure out
where these keys are located.
No one in the Archaeological Divisions
has ever searched for its whereabouts.
Is that, uh, correct?
Not a one.
We've been convinced it wasn't real by superior officers.
Well, then, Moffat...
you'll be the one to find it.
Why should we tolerate humans on our pristine planet
when they're refused to stop polluting their own?
Earth transports keep bringing refugees here.
You're gonna board one of those transports
and return to Earth.
But the Earth's atmosphere, it's poison.
I've arranged for you to have
a tracheal filter surgery during transport.
That will allow you
to blend in easier with humans once you're there.
I'll have your documents ready in time for your departure.
Yes, sir.
Me and my entire team
will have the same procedure so that we'll be ready
the second you tell us that you found the Terraemotus.
If you find it, Moffat, we win the war.
If you don't,
Emios will cease to exist.
Do it for Clia.
Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
You are not cleared for wormhole entry path mark five.
Command, identify.
[controls warble]
Aft cannons ready.
On your mark, General.
Exit point release.
Skuller?
Both batteries, target wormhole station gate on my command.
Stand by.
NIDO: Final warning.
Surrender now,
or I will order your vessel fired upon.
Stand by to fire.
Now.
Station gate is dismantled.
The wormhole is severed.
Human transports can no longer land
on Emios at this time, General.
Good.
Very good.
Hundreds of millions of them
still remain on the planet,
so I intend to eliminate every last one of them
once I get my hands on the Terraemotus.
Even if that means sacrificing my own life to do it.
Let's see how they handle their own weapons, shall we?
Prepare to fire on my command.
This war has only just begun.
Fire.
[dramatic music playing]
- [alarm blares] - Sir!
Nairobi has just been hit with a plasma cannon
fired by an Emiosian Arsenal Cruiser.
Casualties are in the hundreds of thousands.
The Kenyan government has just declared a state of emergency.
An Emiosian Cruiser in orbit?
Emiosian registry affirmative.
Position, 180 miles above Earth.
General!
Zeta-One Station has been destroyed.
The wormhole entry to Emios has collapsed.
Earth has yet to mobilize any form of counterattack, sir.
They will.
Moffat's been on Earth two months now.
Here's her last report, sent 12 hours ago.
[static crackling]
A pyramid-shaped item in the Provette Museum's artifacts
has nearly identical markings
to the ancient Sirta region in South America.
But we don't have much time.
The humans are prepping it for transport to Emios,
along with several other artifacts.
Clear evidence points the pyramid-shaped item
to being the Terraemotus.
The museum is located in Los Angeles.
[muttering]
Just imagine everything we're leaving behind on Earth
still undiscovered.
Well, think of it as a new beginning, Sybil.
Fresh start for everyone.
Emiosians, humans come together.
Yeah, except one of them wasn't aware of the arrangement.
And can we-- [clears throat] at least agree
that it'll be nice to walk outside
and not need this to breathe?
Yeah, agreed.
I-I guess it's maybe not the best time to ask,
but, uh, have you given any thought
to what we talked about last night?
Moving in together is a big step.
- Yeah, yeah. - Let's just get to Emios first,
and then we'll--we'll figure out if we're ready, okay?
Yeah. Yeah, of course. [laughs]
Of course.
[chimes tinkling]
Oh, let me help you with that.
- Hear that? - [chimes tinkling]
How can you not think it's a music box?
The markings on the dial are far too similar
to Proto-Sirtat, circa 1300 BCE.
That predates Swiss mechanics by 3,000 years.
You sound like your sister,
cut and dry, no margin for error.
Well, Maria and I haven't seen eye to eye on much.
Especially after I refused to return to the IEDS
once we invaded Emios.
Listen, you did what you thought was right,
and that's all that matters.
Can I help you finish packing this item
to go to the transports?
No, we're almost done.
Uh, Scott's already captured the digitized images.
All that's left is to secure it for travel.
This item has to be very carefully stored.
There are fragile moving parts inside.
[chimes tinkle]
Any theories as to what it is yet?
We think it might be some kind
of obscure puzzle box or music box,
even though it predates all other music boxes
by thousands of years.
The markings on the dial...
iconography dating back to around 1300 BCE?
We've been working for months to decipher these symbols.
They seem to correspond to a unique style of writing,
but of course we've only begun to scratch the surface.
[latches click]
Thank you.
Okay, let's go.
Arsenal Cruiser has made no attempt for radio contact.
Emios is not holding to the cease-fire, sir.
If that's true,
they would send more than one Arsenal Cruiser.
There's something wrong here.
Williams, scramble Starhawk Flight Wing, Alpha.
We're at DEFCON one.
This is Polar Base Vertex.
Starhawk Flight Wing, what's your status?
Alpha Scramble.
Starhawk, Alpha Scramble.
Repeat, we are at DEFCON one.
We need recon on that Cruiser!
[alarm blares]
Starhawks on approach, sir.
Initiate descent.
Sir.
Emiosian Arsenal Cruiser now on approach.
To Los Angeles.
There you go.
- [beeping] - Sybil?
Sybil, come in.
Yes. Andres, I told you not to contact me.
Sybil, listen to me.
I need you and Jill
to get to one of the bomb shelters immediately.
Whoever you're with, take 'em with you, and get to safety now.
Why? What's happening?
There's been an attack.
Nairobi was hit by an Emiosian gunship,
and now they're headed to Los Angeles.
What about the cease-fire?
[rumbling]
[tense music playing]
[distant laser fire]
JILL: It's the Emiosians' Arsenal Cruiser!
We're under attack!
SCOTT: It's picking off Starhawks like they're nothing!
I expected the humans to put up much more of a fight.
This is...
who we were forced to negotiate peace with?
WILLIAMS: Sir!
Starhawks down.
[tense music playing]
Find Moffat.
Find the Terraemotus.
Burn the entire place to the ground if you have to.
And don't you dare come back without it.
Yes, General.
[pressure seal opens]
There's guys out there in uniform with guns.
Oh, my God.
We need to move everyone to safety.
- Okay. Okay. - Come on. Come on.
Take the artifacts.
Get down, get down! Take cover!
You okay?
Ma'am...
where's the Terraemotus?
Alexis, you're one of them.
We can't let Skuller have it.
We're making a mistake finding the keys.
We can't destroy Earth.
Had a change of heart, have we, Lieutenant?
You don't have to do this.
The human race doesn't deserve to die.
I-I've seen their compassion.
They're not all our enemies.
They only want to survive, the same as we do.
And I have my orders. Give it to me.
- Whoa, Jill! Jill! Jill, don't! - No! No, you can't take it!
- No! - [rifle fires]
You're coming with us.
Destroy her communicator.
Yes, sir!
Please, please, it's of no use to you.
- Go. - N-No, don't take her.
- Take me instead. - No, no, no. I've studied it.
I know the proto-Sirtatic symbols, the backgrounds.
- I know-- - I have read her notes.
Her hypothesis is all wrong.
You need me to help you,
Jill, it's okay.
I'm gonna be all right.
Mom, I love you.
I love you.
My mom...
Stay there, or I'll have her killed.
[tense music playing]
General Skuller.
Lieutenant.
[chimes tinkling]
We found it, sir.
Excellent.
[chimes tinkling]
Excellent.
And, uh, Moffat?
She changed sides, sir.
She tried to destroy the device. I...
I had to stop her.
But we have a prisoner, sir,
a human who studied the Terraemotus,
and I thought it'd be best to question her over all the rest.
The others?
The prisoner, sir.
SKULLER: Activate the Terraemotus.
Tell me where the first key is.
I know nothing about it.
You're running out of time before I end your life
in ways that you could have never, ever imagined.
Now activate the device so...
I can destroy the Earth.
You'll just have to kill me, then.
That's your plan anyway, isn't it,
kill everyone on the planet?
Only, you have no idea how to do it,
and neither do I.
We'll bring in the 439th, sir.
They can translate this dial--
No. I need actual knowledge of the Terraemotus,
knowledge that you have.
Sir, incoming message from your daughter.
Patching her through.
- [beep] - Jill.
Dad, they took her. They took Mom.
They had an Emiosian infiltrate the museum.
She's been working with us for weeks.
Tell him about the ship-- They knew exactly where we were
and what they were looking for, thanks to her.
They took your mother? Where?
JILL: I don't know where.
They think she knows something about an artifact.
What artifact?
Scott, Mom, and I have been studying it.
Yeah, we don't know why they would take it,
but that's definitely what they were after.
Alexis said something about keys,
that--that the human race doesn't deserve to die
and they were making a mistake looking for the keys.
Somehow, these keys are gonna destroy Earth.
Jill, what keys? What are you talking about?
I need you to get to Maria at Midhurst Air Field.
You have to be somewhere safe.
The Emiosians have captured your mother.
They may come back for you now! Do you understand me?
Be there in 20.
[device beeps]
Okay.
MARIA: Yes, Dad.
Midhurst saw the Emiosian Arsenal Cruiser in the city,
but we were told to take no further action.
Maria, your mother is on that ship.
Uh, keep in close contact,
and send me any briefings that come in.
Speaking of which, your sister and Scott
are en route to your base now.
I need you two to put your differences aside
and work together on this.
Understood.
And, Dad...
we'll get her back.
Do you think there's something inside the Terraemotus?
Something they need?
Mm, maybe.
You know, I think it's the dial inside the Terraemotus
that's key to really understanding this thing.
Positioned in a certain way,
hopefully it reveals what we're looking for.
These glyphs, they're strikingly similar
to Proto-Sirtat litiform.
Maybe--Maybe the dial opens the pyramid
and the keys' locations are inside it.
We just need to figure out the combination.
But it could take decades
to understand those symbols.
Yeah.
I've got our notes here.
There's no door or panels on the artifact.
Mom kept thinking it was a music box.
She would hear chimes in it.
Yeah, but nothing like that existed before 1770.
That we know of.
Okay, so...
40 segments on the dial.
Proto-Sirtat-like glyphs.
15,000 syllables in the English language.
Do we think the combination is a word
or a series of words, a phrase?
How could any of this possibly be a threat to human existence?
Uh, if we'd known what it was, we would have destroyed it.
Alexis, or whoever she was,
tried to, and they killed her.
Why?
...you are cleared to land.
Do you think your mom would be able to read
this thing they stole?
Possibly. We took careful notes.
Scott and I have been trying to decipher it further,
see if we can get some clues to where they might be taking her.
Yeah, no, I brought her notes and all of the reference guides.
They're in here.
Well, we would know where Mom is
if you didn't leave the IEDS.
She would be in a secure facility on Emios.
That wouldn't make her any safer.
This whole conflict began on Emios
when we invaded a peaceful planet.
Okay, we don't get to pick and choose
our conflicts we like or don't like, Jill.
They threatened us first,
and that came from the Polar Vertex.
And I fought on Emios to save humanity.
We invaded Emios, guns shooting,
God help whoever got in our way.
Why did you abandon your own military?
I refused to return, because this war was unjustified.
We went about this the wrong way,
and it is gonna cost us everything we have left.
Emios is the only thing we have.
Exactly!
The Emiosians said that this device
reveals the locations to keys
that will trigger disasters that will destroy the world.
Wherever they're taking Mom,
if we can get there first,
if we can decipher the Terraemotus
and get to the keys before the Emiosians do,
we may be able to save Earth.
Sergeant, set up the hangar.
Copy that, General.
Scott, Jill, follow me.
Thank you.
SKULLER: We must find the first key.
Lieutenant Batt, your team failed to kill the others
that were with Sybil at the time of her capture, correct?
If there's a base nearby,
perhaps that's where they've gone.
Midhurst Air Field, sir.
It's in the vicinity.
Activate the Terraemotus,
or I'll have Lieutenant Batt here
wipe that base off the map.
You understand?
- Look at this one over here. - No, but it's exactly the same.
See how that matches right there?
See--See how that's the same?
- And, see... - Is there more?
See, that matches with this.
- Hey. - Hey. Yeah.
That could be it.
So did we figure out how to save Earth yet?
- [chuckles] - Uh, Scott and I
have been studying the symbols on the dial
and building combinations
that correspond with geographic locations.
Yeah, but--but only geographic locations
that were built between 3500 and 1500 BCE.
So we've narrowed it down to 206 possible combinations.
I mean, these look like random words.
"Heads bronze."
"Bronze head."
"Circle blue stones."
I mean, it's all gibberish words.
- Well... - Keep in mind,
we're dealing with a dead language, so...
Okay, so how does all this help us figure out where Mom is?
Well, Alexis said they're looking for keys, but--
but maybe the keys aren't inside the box.
What if the dial
points us to the location of where they are?
Right. From the markings on the Terraemotus,
we can see ancient burial carvings
from Egyptian, Peruvian tableau,
and that suggests that these two cultures
have a much deeper connection
than we've ever previously thought.
Yeah.
I am done playing games with you.
Aoush, hwey, jur, azya.
Oshway yurazha.
That means, um, "forward eye"
in a later Sirtat dialect.
What is this symbol here at the top.
Phe, rau...
daesh, sthe.
What is this symbol? This one here?
Kwaeth, double or two.
Something having to do with two.
A dual, uh...
ruler, king.
[clicking]
What just happened? What...
What have you done?
It locked itself into position.
JILL: So we're thinking
that the keys may be located in burial sites.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, right.
Um...
these phase variants,
"king two, four empire," right?
That's the second ruler, fourth kingdom.
Two ruler, four kingdom.
That has to be Khufu,
second pharaoh of the fourth empire.
"Dehn sthe"
could be "empire" or--or "regime."
Where's the key?
Tell me now.
SCOTT: So...
well, he's buried in...
The great pyramid of Giza, the resting place of Khufu,
second pharaoh, Fourth Dynasty of Egypt.
That has to be where they're going.
Right? I mean, I don't see anything
that suggests Peru for the first key, so...
I mean, it has to be in Egypt.
Yeah.
[laughs]
You two make a good team.
You better not be lying.
Okay. I guess we're going to go to Egypt,
help save Mom, and stop them from destroying Earth.
- Good work. - [laughs]
[epic music playing]
[adventurous music playing]
Batt, come in!
Batt, I need a status report.
Go ahead, sir.
Acknowledge.
Searched three chambers so far, General.
There's no sign of any key yet.
We must unleash the first disaster
before the others find the keys' location!
Do you understand that?
[alarm beeps]
SKULLER: Incoming!
Incoming Earth craft!
ANDRES: Maria, I mobilized the Starhawks
from the IEDS base in Aqaba, Egypt.
They've been waiting ever since he appeared on their radar.
Copy that. We'll proceed with caution.
Hopefully Skuller's hands will be too full
dealing with the Aqaba fleet to notice your approach to Giza.
But, baby, you better be careful.
Thanks, Dad.
Take us down.
We have to get that key before Skuller does.
Time to show them what this thing can do.
Yeah!
[tense music playing]
You've lied to us.
There is no key.
Look, let me carry the Terraemotus.
You're not to be trusted.
That artifact is thousands of years old.
It is ancient and fragile.
That's why it isn't working?
This is the location.
Maybe your general made a mistake.
[chime rings]
Listen.
[chime rings]
I hear it.
[chime ringing]
What is that sound?
And where is it coming from?
It's coming from the Terraemotus...
like a music box.
We can rule out the King's and Queen's Chambers
and the Grand Gallery.
Why is that?
Do you know how many tourists have been through this place,
touching everything?
If there was a key in one of those chambers,
some bored 12-year-old would have found it years ago.
Keep an eye out.
So what do you suggest?
It means that the key is probably in a place
that's closed off from the public.
The unfinished Subterranean Chamber.
It was supposed to be King Khufu's burial chamber
before he wanted it moved to a higher spot.
Yeah.
- [chime ringing] - Why is it playing music?
I think--I think it's leading us to the key.
Better be right about this.
[chime rings]
[chimes ring]
I hear something, General.
So do I.
Someone's coming.
- [chimes ringing musically] - This way.
[chimes ringing rapidly]
SYBIL: Jill! Maria! Look out!
Mom!
[dramatic music playing]
Go!
[winces]
Maria!
There.
There's where the key is.
I got you. I got you.
All right, stop shooting, or she dies!
Get up!
[grunts]
[groans]
No! You'll unleash the first disaster!
[rumbling]
[dramatic music playing]
Come on! Jill, Ben, let's go!
- I got her! We gotta go! - No! No!
- We gotta go! - [screams]
BATT: General, the first key
has been inserted into the Terraemotus.
The first disaster appears to have started.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
I have confirmation of volcanoes erupting worldwide.
The first step towards the Earth's total destruction.
Commendable work, men.
Move it! Let's go!
Let's go! Come on!
Guys, let's go!
Come on!
- Maria! - Ben, come on!
JILL: Maria, let's go!
[tragic music playing]
- General. - [alarm sounding]
There are alerts of extreme volcanic activity.
I'll show you.
Eritrea, El Salvador, Mexico.
These haven't erupted since the 1800s.
Most of them have been dormant.
Up until now.
I don't know what's going on, General.
Your emotions are justified.
The key triggered the first disaster,
which set off a wave of volcanic eruptions
that's killing tens of millions of people on your planet.
And the other two will finish the job.
Trust me, the more lives you end,
the easier it is to accept loss.
No.
No, never again.
I used to say that to myself...
many, many years ago.
Now, the second key,
tell me where it is so I can trigger the second disaster.
SCOTT: The pyramid began to collapse
as soon as Batt put the key in the Terraemotus.
Yeah, we could have...
We lost a key, and Ben's gone.
Okay? And who knows how many more casualties?
We can't afford any more losses.
Jill, get your head back in the game.
I just need to know that you're an asset
or a liability and how many others are gonna get killed?
Whoa! Back off, Maria, okay?
Jill's the reason we're here and we're alive.
Not all of us.
Okay, and there's still hundreds of millions of lives
at stake on this planet.
Let's find where the second key is located
and stop the next disaster from happening.
Or would you rather keep wasting time attacking me?
I'd rather you not hesitate.
'Cause the Jill Alfaro that I used to know,
she would have acted, not hesitated.
Focus on the mission.
Copy that.
Okay, all ri--Okay, um...
The first key, it was--
it was located at an ancient burial site.
And based on the Egyptian, Peruvian tableau,
we can predict that the next key
will probably be at an ancient burial site.
We just need to keep one of the remaining keys
from Skuller, and he loses.
Based on the time period,
uh, we can assume that it's likely made of bronze,
Mortise design.
Barrel type.
So if we're making the connection
between the Terraemotus
and Egyptian and Peruvian cultures,
then chances are one of the remaining keys
is somewhere in Peru.
Do you think that's where Skuller's headed?
What about the list of words and syllables?
Can that help?
I mean, there are so many possibilities.
Well, why don't you read some out loud?
Maybe we can rule them out.
Okay.
Okay, "bronze head."
"Heads bronze."
"Bronze heads."
Easter Island.
That place with the big heads.
No. No, no, no, no.
That's not made of bronze.
It's carved from ash.
Ash? Are you sure?
Yes, Maria, he's sure.
It's his job to know.
Bronze heads could be Sanxingdui.
I mean, that place has been picked clean for decades.
I would have a hard time believing the key's there.
But what about "sun's bright"?
"Bright sun rays."
"Bright sun."
It could be Matul.
There's no one buried at Matul.
Okay, uh--Oh.
"Blue stone circle."
"Circle blue stone."
"Stone blue circle."
Wait...
That has to be Stonehenge, right?
Right.
There's no one buried there.
- Yes, there are. - Yes, there are.
Okay. All right, so...
we have the Great Pyramid.
Mm-hmm.
And going on our Peruvian, Egyptian theory,
we can assume the next location's in Peru.
So that would mean the other name on the list...
What are you doing?
What do you see?
A triangle.
Not just a triangle.
An isosceles.
Two sides of equal length.
Exactly. Same as the Terraemotus.
Okay, so it's an isosceles triangle.
You can point that in any direction in the world.
It doesn't necessarily mean
it's going to be pointed to Stonehenge.
No, no, you can't, okay?
If you change the location,
the size of the triangle changes.
And keep in mind, we start in Egypt,
and we finish in Peru.
Okay, are you sure that there's three keys?
That's a good point.
Although, based on the evidence,
I'm fairly certain there's only three keys.
Wait. What if the dial itself represents the third location?
Yeah, that--that could be right.
Okay, there were three slots for the keys.
So let's start there.
You better be right. We have no time
for mistakes lost in translation.
We need to head to Stonehenge.
Uh-huh. Let's go.
Let me be very direct with you, okay?
The longer you delay, the worse it will be for your daughters.
Do you understand?
I will tear your daughters into pieces!
You'll beg me...
to kill them.
They fought back, and they will continue to fight.
I'll find the keys.
You know I will.
It's just a matter of how much more agony
you want your daughters to endure until then.
You know I'll enjoy torturing them.
Newgrange, Ireland.
That's where the second key is.
Are you certain?
100%.
You've chosen wisely.
Let's go.
[majestic music playing]
SCOTT: This is incredible.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you know this was under here?
No.
SCOTT: I think I see lanterns up ahead.
How is that possible?
JILL: Natural gas vents.
But they must have been burning for thousands of years.
[tense music playing]
Well, this is the only chamber.
Every alcove empty.
The device has been dead quiet
since we entered the inner corridor.
Explain yourself.
Are you sure we're at the right location?
Are you going to blame me every time that thing
isn't working the way you expect?
The second key isn't here.
Where is it?
Well, maybe the Terraemotus got damaged in the fight.
The device was undamaged on the ship.
Yet here, it fails to be operational?
I don't know what to tell you.
What did I tell you
about giving the General the truth?
I can't protect you from harm if you refuse to cooperate.
You've already done enough harm.
All of you.
She lied to us.
We're at the wrong location.
There is no key.
Did you bring us to the wrong location?
You've made a terrible mistake.
[tense music playing]
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[screaming] No!
[wails]
[mysterious music playing]
This must have been the burial chamber.
If the second key is anywhere, it's probably here.
Wow.
Are you sure it's in the walls?
I mean, it really could be anywhere.
Wait, wait, wait! Guys!
- What-- - I think I found something.
Hold on! What if it's booby-trapped?
The last chamber collapsed on us.
Don't touch anything.
Uh, we gotta be careful.
Okay, okay, wait.
The pyramid collapsed
as soon as he put the key inside the Terraemotus,
not before.
MARIA: Are you sure about that?
We remove the key.
JILL: We can't let Skuller have it.
Okay, well, let's hurry.
Yeah, yeah.
- [thud] - What's happening?
Did you remove the key?
I don't know. Is that coming from above?
[rumbling]
We gotta get out. We gotta--
- Go! Go! Go! Go! - Let's go. Let's go.
- Go! Go! Move! - Come on! Come on!
- Run! Run! - Move!
Mom!
- You're all safe. - Mom.
They tortured me.
- I'm so sorry. - No. No.
- Forgive me. - Tell us where the key is,
or I'll blow your mother away!
Tell us where they key is!
- Now! - Don't shoot!
No. No, I can't.
I can't. There's too many lives at stake.
Get the key.
[groans]
SCOTT: No!
Get on the ship, all of you, now.
Okay, we got you, Mom. It's okay.
We got you.
Let's go. Move it.
- Move it. - Come on.
Scott!
BATT: Not you.
You're going to take me to the key.
Move it!
[gasping]
[coughing]
Where's the keyhole?
[groans]
[coughs]
No.
No.
[grunts]
[panting]
[sighs]
[panting]
[grunts]
No!
No, no, no!
[rumbling]
[coughing]
[winces]
Don't you ever quit?
[gasping]
[engines rumbling]
We're moving.
Skuller, you son of a bitch!
- [pounding] - Jill?
Jill, is that you?
Jill!
Jill, is that you?
Can you hear me?
Scott? I--
I'm here.
Are you hurt?
Eh, no, no, no.
I-I'm fine.
A-Are you all right?
Scott! Scott, we're gonna get out of this together!
Yeah. No, I know we are.
I know we are, but l-listen to me.
The second key...
it's been inserted into the Terraemotus.
There's only one key left
before the Earth is completely destroyed.
WILLIAMS: Sir, there's a series of earthquakes
happening all over the United Kingdom.
When did that start?
Minutes ago. The largest, a magnitude 9.3,
centered off Salisbury.
And there's other reports
of it happening all over Northern Europe.
[rumbling]
Initiate and open the frequency to the Arsenal Cruiser.
I will speak directly with General Skuller.
Skuller must be stopped.
We can't make him turn the final key.
So your daughter has planned to stop me.
[chuckles]
[panel beeps]
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[groaning]
No. No, please.
Please stop hurting them.
- [faint pulsing] - Hey, wait! Stop!
- [muffled groaning] - Stop!
Don't hurt them!
Don't hurt them! Stop!
Stop it!
[groaning continues]
Please.
The third key.
Find it.
You have to stop hurting them.
- [faint pulsing] - [muffled groaning]
- [sighs]
[pulsing stops]
[panting]
General, we're receiving a transmission.
From who?
General Alfaro, sir.
General Skuller.
I am General Andres Alfaro of the IEDS.
Dad?
I'm asking you to stop this crusade of yours,
to stop your desire to destroy the Earth
and kill millions of innocent people.
We can meet face to face
and come to a suitable solution, you and I.
Well, well, well.
General Alfaro.
To what do I owe this great...
great pleasure?
This has to stop.
This killing of innocent people,
millions of innocent people,
it must stop now.
We can compromise.
We can negotiate, you and I.
Compromise?
You have nothing of value to me.
It was me, General.
It was me.
I gave the order...
to invade your planet, Emios.
No one else is to blame.
I did it to save the Earth, my planet.
I gave the orders for our troops
to attack your pristine planet unprovoked
so we could take it after we had destroyed our own.
There's no one to blame but me.
That was my call.
Jill, Maria, I'm so sorry.
It was a lie?
We attacked Emios over a lie?
We invaded a peaceful planet.
Andres, what have you done?
All those innocent lives?
What would you have me do, Sybil?
Let our daughters die on this planet?
They're gonna die, anyway!
I'll give you the location for the third key
if you guarantee safe passage
for Jill and Maria back to Emios.
Sybil, no!
Don't do that, Sybil!
Don't!
Agreed.
Your daughters will be given safe passage to Emios
once the wormhole has been reestablished.
No, Sybil, don't!
You can't!
Go get Jill.
Yes, sir.
Sybil, listen to me. Think of all the children.
Sybil, don't!
[yells]
Maria.
No!
- Maria! - Jill.
- Jill! Jill! - Maria!
Jill!
Jill!
Where did you take her?!
Hey! Where did you take Jill?
Maria?!
Maria, is that you?
Can you--Can you hear me?
M-Maria?
Scott!
Maria, wh-where did they take Jill?
I don't know. Skuller took her.
Where did they take her, Maria?!
I don't know.
Okay, the third location
is the Chavn de-- de Huntar in Peru.
Jill.
- Mom? - Jill. Let me--
Let me by. Let me see her.
- Jill. - Mom.
Oh, my God.
Skuller!
You're pathetic, General.
- Mom... - You see, Sybil...
humans don't care about anyone else's lives but their own.
Baby, please.
Earth took away my daughter.
Now Emios will take yours.
- No! - No!
No! Where are you taking her?
Skuller...
don't do this.
Skuller out.
[transmission beeps off]
This is my catastrophe.
I will stop Skuller myself.
Copy, sir.
[groaning]
Let her go.
General, your time to London is 15 minutes at Mach 6.
SYBIL: No!
No! No!
Jill!
T-Minus five minutes to Arsenal Cruiser.
They're both gone, sir.
Good riddance.
Set our coordinates for Peru.
We need to find the third key and trigger the final disaster.
WILLIAMS: Arsenal Cruiser is taking off,
but I'm detecting two human bodies
in the river below, both alive.
Hey!
Hey! Hello?
Watch your head. Watch your head.
[sighs]
Where's your mother?
[crying] I couldn't save her.
What happened?
The water was too strong. I--
I lost her, Dad. I lost her.
You knew.
I left the IED Elite Command because this war was a disgrace,
and you were the one who ordered it.
You kept this secret from us.
Jill, I had no choice.
It was the only thing I could do.
Our plans, they would have destroyed us
before we even entered their atmosphere.
Dad, look around!
This is winning?
Tens of millions have already died.
Skuller is going to answer for all this.
He still has Scott and Maria.
He's--He's headed for the third key.
I know where it is.
Your mother told Skuller
in exchange for you and your sister's lives.
[crying]
Batt, stay with the ship.
I'm going to retrieve that third key personally for Clia.
[chime rings]
[chime rings]
[chime rings]
[chime ringing steadily]
The device has led us to the precise location of each key.
If they're on-site already, he may know where it is.
We level the site,
and bury Skuller and the device with him.
No. Scott could be with them.
Mom was his main source of information on the Terraemotus.
He could be relying on Scott now.
We can't take that chance.
Sometimes sacrifices must be made, Jill.
You sound like Skuller.
Maria could be with them, too.
Jill--
Besides, Scott and I are--
I don't know what we are.
I just know I can't lose him or Maria.
And we can't let Skuller trigger the next disaster.
Okay.
Okay.
Activate the proximity jammer.
And if he has gotten there before us,
maybe he won't notice our approach.
Thank you.
MARIA: Hey, Scott.
I think I found a way out.
[door hisses]
[groans]
[yells]
You find Scott and Maria.
I'm going after Skuller.
Mm-hmm.
[grunts]
[steady chiming]
[rapid chiming]
[Maria panting]
[yelps]
[groans]
[body thuds]
[Maria panting]
- [kick thumps] - [winces]
- [kick thumps] - [winces]
Maria!
Maria!
Maria! We gotta go.
We gotta get to the third key location before Skuller does.
Come on!
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[groaning]
- Jill! - Scott.
I can't lose you again.
I don't care what danger we're in.
I missed you, too.
Where's Skuller?
I think we just landed.
He must be still on-site.
Come on. He can't be that far.
Let's go.
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[groaning]
[steady chiming]
Ah...
[rifle fires]
[groans]
It's over.
Your crusade failed, Skuller.
Earth is safe,
and you'll be held accountable for everything that you've done.
[groans]
[high-pitched pulse warbling]
[warbling stops]
[panting]
[groans]
Dad!
MARIA: Dad!
He's dead.
And he deserved it.
Shoot him!
Shoot him, Jill.
Killing him won't bring Dad back.
It won't bring Mom or Ben back, either.
Do it. Do it.
Shoot me.
Shoot me!
He murdered them!
You want to let him get away with that?!
You don't have the guts.
Do it. Do it!
Coming here to destroy Earth makes you no better
than those who ordered the attack on your planet.
Is that right?
[chuckles] Yeah?
The man who planned that attack was your father!
Y-You think...
I'm gonna let his daughters live...
after he took my Clia?
- Do you? - Back, Jill.
- Huh?! - Back!
- Huh?! - Back! Go!
Go!
[rifle fires]
[dramatic music playing]
[chimes ring]
[rumbling]
JILL: You triggered the final disaster!
You've doomed this planet, and everyone on it could die!
MARIA: We're gonna die in here! Let's go! Let's go!
[rumbling]
[dramatic music playing]
No, no, no, no! Run back! Back!
Run! Move! Move!
Jill, let's go!
[water rushing]
[rumbling]
Hold on. We're gonna jump.
Volcanoes...
earthquakes...
now floods.
Each one of them are catastrophic by themselves,
but you trigger all three at once, it's...
it's the end of the world.
Wait. Wait.
Don't disembark.
What? Why?
- Scott. - Wh-What?
Remember to plant those white calla lilies for me, okay?
Yeah... Wh-What are you talking about?
The garden.
It's going to be wonderful.
Listen, it's our garden.
That's--We're gonna plant it together.
What are you-- I don't understand.
Skuller.
He's still down there,
and so is the Terraemotus.
Yeah, so was ho--
It means that...
there's still a chance I can stop this.
- What are you talk-- - I can save Earth.
- What do you mean? - No. Jill! That's suicide!
Maria, this time, I'm not hesitating.
JILL: Activate escape pod.
- MARIA: Jill! - I love you!
- Jill! You can't! - Jill!
[shudders]
Damn it, Jill.
We have to get to her.
Those currents are gonna kill her.
[ominous music playing]
Oh! Skuller!
[gasping]
No, no, no, no! [groans]
Careful! Careful!
You okay?
You...
You risked your life...
to save mine?
The Terraemotus...
you left in the anteroom, didn't you?
Yeah. Yeah.
Now the last disaster's unleashed...
every human will die...
as Earth floods.
Not everyone on Earth
is a monster that must be murdered.
Humans came to destroy my peaceful planet.
They're violent, murderous ones.
I came here for justice.
This isn't murderous.
It's retribution.
[rocks falling]
JILL: Those rocks won't hold back the water much longer.
The floods are coming in.
We have to move.
- I can't. - Come on.
- Okay. - [wincing]
[grunting]
Oh, my leg! [groans]
Come on.
I can't.
[groaning] My...
- Go, go, go. [groans] - I got you.
- My weapon. My weapon. - I got it. I got it.
- Yep. - I can't...
Come on.
SCOTT: Where's Jill?
She hasn't come back up.
She hasn't come back up!
I don't know! I don't know!
Jill, where are you?
What does she mean,
"the Terraemotus is still down there"?
The flood's already happened,
so the damage is done.
Maybe. Maybe not. M-Maybe she can stop it
if she pulls the key out in time.
- Okay. - Let me help you.
Come on. Water's coming.
I'm coming.
[water flowing]
Oh, God.
You okay?
I'll be all right.
I'll be okay.
Look...
I'm human,
and you're still alive.
And there are plenty more like me
that you've sentenced to die by unleashing this flood.
You didn't win.
You won't return to Emios a hero.
Y-You'll be held responsible for the deaths
of hundreds of millions of innocents on Earth.
So what was it all for?
Clia.
It's Clia...
my daughter.
All she ever wanted to do is help people.
You can... you can still make her proud.
We can stop the floods from destroying the Earth,
but we have to act now.
The war is over.
We--We have to help these people.
Show them mercy.
They don't all deserve to die.
Help me.
Your compassion's like Clia.
She could never give up.
Never...
on anybody,
n-not even her enemies.
We can still make this right,
both of us, human and Emiosian fighting together.
I know.
I'm just...
tired of fighting.
I'm so, so tired.
It doesn't have to end like this for either of us.
The third key, we can--
we can remove it from the Terraemotus.
We can stop the flood.
We--We can make them recede.
Maybe Earth...
Maybe Earth isn't doomed to die after all.
- We've got to go. - Okay.
Let's go. Go, go, go, go, go!
[groans]
Here we go. [groans]
JILL: The inner chamber is above the waterline,
but not for long.
We have to find the Terraemotus.
I left it down here somewhere.
The Earth's gonna keep flooding until we remove the third key.
Okay.
Get ahold of this.
[both grunting]
Do you see it?
No.
I got this.
[groaning]
[both grunting]
SKULLER: Okay, good, good, good, good.
- I see it. Okay. - Yeah.
[dramatic music playing]
The one on the top.
You gotta remove with the third key.
[hopeful music playing]
[laughs] I got it.
- Let's go. Let's go. - Okay.
Wait. Th-There they are!
Look, they're--Go, go, go!
Wait, the water's receding.
I think--I think she did it.
You have to get to them. Come on.
Skuller, you traitor!
JILL: Batt's alive?
SKULLER: It's over, Batt!
If you won't finish this, I will!
[weapon firing]
- Run, run, run! Go! Go! - No, wait!
Come with me! We can both--
Go! I'll cover you!
[weapon firing]
[rifle firing]
[screams]
Skuller!
[rubble clattering]
SCOTT: You stopped Skuller?
Is he dead?
JILL: He saved my life.
He helped me save all our lives.
SCOTT: Looks like life on Earth gets a second chance.
Good.
I want our future children's first memories
to be of playing outside,
just like ours were.
Um...
"future children."
Does that mean...
I meant, like, way in the future.
Oh, right, yeah.
Of course.
But...
I can't wait to plant those calla lilies...
together.
Together.
