First Wave (1998) s01e02 Episode Script
Crazy Eddie
Casa mia.
It's nice.
Cheers.
- What? - I don't do this very often.
What, drink whiskey from a dusty glass? Come to a man's house just after meeting him.
Yeah, well I'm harmless.
Yeah Dean, sure you are.
Nice equipment.
Yeah, I'm a webhead.
That explains my attraction.
I've always had a thing for surfers.
- I write for the Paranoid Times.
- Cool.
I've got that site bookmarked.
I'm doing the lead story this month.
Here, let me show you.
Hey, surfer boy How about I wax your board? In 1564, Nostradamus predicted the destrustion of Earth, in 3 terrifying waves.
The First wave is here.
My name is Cade Foster.
These are my journals.
They killed my wife, framed me for murder.
Now i run, but i don't hide.
With the prophecies of Nostradamus as my guide I seek them I hunt them I will stop THE FIRST WAVE Season 01 Episode 02 On the run for the past 22 days.
Borrowed five grand from my uncle Harry.
Been using cover identities to stay one step ahead of the law.
I anonymously contacted the FBI, CIA and the Department of Defense about the alien experiment that killed my wife.
As expected, no response.
When you're wanted for murder every move is critical.
The wrong choise can be fatal.
This is the life of a hunted man.
This is my life.
I'm Cade Foster.
I used to believe little green men belonged on the supermarket tabloid shelves next to the latest sightings of Elvis, but now I know different.
The aliens are here And if I'm going clear myself of this murder charge I've got to let people know.
I've come to Potomac Maryland in search of a man known as Crazy Eddie.
He publishes a web page on the internet called the Paranoid Times.
A document that seeks to expose the evil conspiracies and dirty little secrets of those who hold power.
The mast head on Crazy Eddie's web page says 'Believe the unbelievable'.
If anyone ever needed a believer, it's me.
I'll shish-kebob your throat if you don't raise you hands.
Eddie Nambulous, publisher of paranoid press? Shut up, I ask the questions.
What are you doing here? I got a story I thought you might be interested in.
I've been diagnosed with acute paranoid disorder, so sneaking up on me is a very bad idea.
How the hell did you find my location? Met a hacker in Michigan.
Five shots of tequila and he fessed up your locale.
That damned Nicky Owens, lush.
This article about cloning has similarities to my own story.
That's why I came.
You're not here to kill me? I need your help.
Can we talk inside? - What's your name? - Name's Cade Foster.
My wife was killed and replaced by a clone.
I was framed for her murder.
Why should I trust you? You shouldn't, you're paranoid.
I saw my wife's clone Hey,trust me, you're gonna wanna hear my story.
Let's go inside.
Nice saber.
Sword that killed Lincoln.
Lincoln was shot.
That's what they tell you.
I was one of 117 subjects in an experiment designed to test human will.
They stole our money, killed our loved ones,destroyed our lives.
I think I was the only one who survive.
Who do you think is behind the experiment? C.
I.
A.
? No.
F.
B.
I.
, N.
S.
C.
? I don't think so.
Defense Department? Clandestine black chopper Units? I think it was aliens.
For a second there you really had me going.
What are you talking about, half your back issues are about aliens.
That's part of the reason I came.
I was wrong.
That whole truth is out there b.
s.
, is just a government scheme to keep our attention away from the real crap that's going on right under our noses.
Like what? Big brother, man.
Control the population through cloning, brainwashing, secret societies, devaluation of currency.
You name it.
Why would the government run cloning labs? - To make duplicate Lee Harvey Oswalds.
- Oswalds? The story Dean Hormeth was investigating.
Broke into a government cloning lab.
Stole a piece of evidence.
Warned him he was in danger and haven't seen him in three days.
Dammit! Allow me.
Pretty handy talent.
That's the file Dean Hormeth brought me.
He's my top writer.
Somewhere around here a government cloning lab has been growing human bodies for a long, long time.
Somehow, Dean found that lab.
He may have solved the most mysterious US assassinations of the 20th century.
The lone nut theory, hogwash.
There were six sightings of Lee Harvey on the day that Kennedy was assassinated.
Cuba Moscow Washington Miami Dallas and Poughkeepsie, New York.
Are you saying these Oswalds were manufactured around here? Dean never told me the location.
Well, can we go to his house? Can we check it out? I'm not doing anything with you.
It's alien hunters like you that give guys like me a bad rep.
Why don't you stop watching the X-Files and get yourself a life? I got nowhere to go Eddie! Now I need your help! Get your hands off me! I work alone! I don't like you, I don't trust you, I don't believe in you.
I'm not gonna drop all my important work and pick up some cockamamie stories about little green men.
Aliens! Eddie says Dean Hormeth stole something from the cloning lab.
I'm curious to know what that something is.
If Eddie won't tell me, maybe Dean will.
Some high-tech security Dean.
Nice decorating.
My car just broke down on the overpass.
I was just wondering if I could use your phone to call a tow truck.
I don't know what it is, men just turn me on.
Well, please, don't turn off.
You're very cute.
Cute isn't usually in the lexicon terms used to describe me.
Dean said you were cute.
You know Dean? - He wants you to give me what he stole.
- Oh my God! Give me the orb and I might let you live.
Cut the foreplay, sweetheart.
Useless.
You're really pissing me off.
Where do you think you're going? You just don't know when to quit, do you? Maybe you have what I'm looking for.
You still don't believe in aliens, buddy? What did she want? Maybe she was looking for this.
I couldn't help it, Foster.
She was beautiful.
She wasn't human, pal.
You see her face flash when I walked in? What are you talking about? You saw her arm disappear, right? C.
I.
A.
has a toxin that can make flesh dissolve.
Whatever.
Why was she after this thing? Well,clearly it's part of the cloning process.
Metal alloy shell, smooth surface.
High-tech golf ball? Very funny.
This thing was glowing a minute ago.
Let see if we can find out what it does.
The orb they stole holds the consciousness of Joshua.
These fools have one of our most powerful leaders in their hands and they don't even know it.
It was a mistake for you to get Joshua.
I would have succeeded if that man hadn't interrupted.
Well, you did not succeed.
So no we've had to prepare new human husk to replace the arm that you lost.
Effect the transfer.
Sometimes it glows and sometimes it doesn't.
Look at this, radio frequency emissions are off the scale.
How come you got an RF detector? Are you into electronics? I used to be a thief.
Ofcourse you were.
OK, wild guess, it's an energy source.
Well, not a normal one.
Did Dean say where he got this thing from? Dean would never reveal the source.
Well, if this is an alien technology or a Lee Harvey Oswald battery pack, we've got to get it to the authorities.
Just who might these authorities be? F.
B.
I, Pentagon, National Security Council Someone who can tell us where this thing comes from.
You're a wanted murderer, I've been hacking into government computers since I was thirteen.
How far do you think we'll get? The alternative? I got an idea.
Downloading Amsa-1 memory essence.
Binary download complete.
Uploading Amsa-2 memory essence.
Binary upload complete.
Amsa Are you conscious? Yes.
Neural function complete.
We will retrieve Joshua.
Here's your little bag of tricks.
Sorry.
Where did you get this? There was another guy, Mayhew.
He was part of the same experiment.
He killed himself.
I found that manuscript buried on his property.
These look like original verses of Nostradamus.
If these are authentic, they could be worth a bundle.
On the seventh dawn of the seventh day, a twice-blessed man will roam the fields.
Doomed to shadows with his brethren or savior to all who walk the ground.
I thought I'd read every quatrain that Nostradamus ever wrote, but never these.
He found it in Normandy.
Normandy? 1564, Nostradamus is nearly blind, but his powers are at their height.
He retreats to mountain monastery and writes prophecies for the next millennium.
His greatest work.
The book vanishes.
Some say it was burned in a fire.
Others that it was stolen by a secret organization known as the "Illuminati".
Who are they? They are the puppet masters who control the banking system and every world government.
This is their symbol.
Don't you get it Foster? This could be the lost Nostradamus.
I won't fail this time.
You're not going.
Joshua is important to me, Anton.
Your job is to oversee the transfer Have you ever lost someone? Can't you understand my dilemma? Those humans have Joshua.
Let me get Joshua.
Your responsibility is to the mission.
You're right.
Please bring him back.
I've already grown a very special husk.
Our friend Dean Hormeth.
So, who is this guy? Roland Kelso, PhD.
in neuroscience.
He studies orphans and mammalian brains.
Some kind of animal shrink? His lab of sophisticated equipment will help us analyze exactly what makes our little golf ball tick.
Back in '82, the government ran a program to use dolphins as delivery systems for small nuclear warheads.
Roland trained the dolphins for two years.
What a guy! How do you know him? He needed me to hack into government files to prove the existence of the program.
To expose the government? No, to blackmail the government.
Look in the dictionary under greedy you'll see a picture of Roland.
I put the object in a tank with a dense electromagnetic field.
I measured the energy fluctuations, it's amazing.
What did you find? Well, the electrical discharges actually take the form of alpha rhythms.
Speak English.
An electroencephalogram gives you a reading of the minds overall electrical activity.
Let see just how smart this thing really is.
I don't know where you gentleman got this thing but I can bet it wasn't legal.
I'm 50-50 for the patent, or I'll have the law all over your necks.
The wave patterns spike like a human brain only stronger.
Larger brain capacity? An artificial intelligence that mimics the human brain? Oh, no computer can do that.
Do you know what the computer industry would pay for that? Think of the applications.
It's like having a working brain in the palm of your hand.
Who could have manufactured something like this? None of the majors I would have heard about.
If this thing was manufactured then we could recreate it.
The financial potential is astounding.
That's not what we had in mind.
Well, then you're a fool.
Roland, look! I can get development money We need to find out who manufactured this and where.
We need to manufacture it ourselves.
You don't understand! Roland, the graph is spiking.
You are not cutting me out, buddy.
No! Effect the transfer.
Effect the transfer.
He's okay.
He's okay.
Effect the transfer.
The Buddhists believe in the reincarnation of the soul from one animal shell to another.
What are you saying Eddie? This thing is some sort of delivery system, a fed-ex from outer space? There's no proof that this is alien in origin.
Roland said it was mechanical.
Well, maybe Roland was wrong.
Look, I've seen classified KGB documents that describe a mechanical device used to create six different Lee Harvey Oswalds.
Enough with the Oswalds.
Why are we going back to Dean's? We need to find the cloning lab Eddie.
And Dean knew the address.
What the hell happened here? This is how I found the place.
Memory's shot.
All the files have been deleted.
We gotta find the address to the lab.
You think he would have left any paper evidence? He's a webhead, paper's for dinosaurs.
Dean! What the hell are you doing? Where you been? Eddie.
What are you doing here? I was worried about you.
You didn't return my email.
I thought somebody offed you.
Been on the trail man, this story's bigger than big.
I know, I know man.
Wait till you hear what's been going on.
Sorry.
That's Cade, fellow traveler.
-He okay ? -Yeah.
I gotta show you some equipment I snared from the lab.
Foster already found it.
Do you mind if I get it back? Where is it? Hey Dean, you always leave your place looking like this? It's kind of weird, don't you think? You didn't even mention your house was trashed What's your problem Foster? What happened to your paranoid instinct Eddie, this isn't Dean.
What are you talking about? - Where is it? - Hey Dean, take it easy.
- Give me the orb! - Eddie! Give it to me! Now! Give me the orb! Eddie! Die alien scum! I always wanted to say that.
They don't like to leave evidence lying around.
That self annihilation is pretty clever.
Thanks, Eddie.
You're welcome.
This is the Dean machine.
He loved this car.
Hey, breaking and entering is a class A felony.
I won't tell if you won't.
Look for anything that might me an address.
Parking receipt, anything.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Paranoia is a lonely business.
Even if we find the lab they'll just think we're madmen.
Foster, sometimes madmen turn out to be prophets.
What's this? That's a G.
P.
S.
What's a G.
P.
S.
? Global Positioning System.
It's going to tell us where this car has been.
Move, move, move! Come on! What the hell is that? It's a modified nine mark.
It's got a digital cellular connection hooked up to my computer back home.
It's got more power than most small countries.
Let's see where this baby's been.
Will it give us an address? Elementary, my dear Watson.
That's his gym.
That's his office.
Presto! 2113 Korman Drive.
Yes, Eddie.
Yes! Okay, I've got my camera, ready to go.
Her name was Hannah.
She's beautiful.
You ready? Let's do it! I'm just warning you, you've gotta watch out.
These people are ruthless, I've watched them work.
There's nothing they won't do.
I don't mind admitting that I'm very, very frightened.
I'll go alone.
Hurry, Foster.
The system's got a triple backup.
I'm not going to be able to shut it off completely.
Then let's go home.
What I can do is give us a window.
Put a breaker in the system for 20 seconds that should give me enough time to pick the lock.
20 seconds? Come on, that's not enough time Foster.
Eddie, you're distracting me.
15, 14, 13, 12 11, 10, 9, 8 7, 6, 5, 4 So what are we looking for? You need a lot of energy to clone a human being.
Looking for a big room with a lot of noise.
Hell of a lot better looking than Lee Harvey Oswald.
Looks like Paranoid Times is about to increase its circulation, pal.
I've waited twenty years to find evidence like this.
We've got ourselves a room full of clones.
We have to be careful.
One of them has Joshua's orb.
Listen to that sound.
Man, it's freaky.
Look, they all have one of those golf balls.
Transferable conciousness.
Why would they do this? Think about it If you were an advanced team of aliens sent here to spy, how would you get here? What if your planet was too far away to come here by ship? If you wanted to look like us be us.
What would you do? Grow the bodies here.
They infuse them with consciousness.
Home grown aliens.
Wonder where they're from.
How long have they been here? And how many of these bodies have they sent into the world? Hundreds? Thousands? I don't know.
But we'll find out soon enough once we get the cops swarming all over this place.
Let's get out of here.
Eddie? Eddie? Eddie? Turn around.
Look at the monitor.
You have a connection to this man.
I have a connection to what's in your possession.
Give me the orb and you'll both go free.
No deal.
That's my only leverage.
This is 911 emergency operator.
What's your emergency please? If you speak the operator you friend dies.
Hello, is anyone there? Get out of here Foster, get help! Hang up the phone, Mr.
Foster.
Your address please.
Is anyone there? Tell them the address Foster.
I cannot read your phone number from the line.
Please pick up the receiver.
Foster, call the cops! It's your only chance.
Come here or I will kill him.
I can't send emergency assistance without the address.
- Right now! - Is anyone there? Address, please.
I will kill your friend.
I want the orb.
Please pick up the re Don't do it Foster.
Go! No! Disconnect the mainframe.
Override the transfer programming.
No! Power down all systems.
Hurry! I had the computer scan some of these quatrains.
Check it out.
From leagues away shall they arrive and rain blind terror upon all men.
An empty vessel for the soul, the retched beauty sleeps no more.
Empty vessel I mean, we're talking about the transfer.
Nostradamus predicted this 400 years ago.
That's stretching it a bit, don't you think? This is the real deal, Foster.
I think Nostradamus wrote this book to find these sons of the bitches.
Look, there's another prophecy I had scanned.
Century 1, Quatrain 1.
Nostradamus believes the destruction of Earth will come in three waves.
Third wave: Armageddon.
Second wave: Invasion from above.
And the first wave is already here.
And if we stop the First Wave we can prevent the others.
Says it all right here.
Does it say how? Actually, there's one more thing.
The page that was marked, Century 3, Quatrain 18: On the seventh dawn - of the seventh day - Read it.
How does one day have seven dawns, Eddie? Actually, everyday has 24 dawns.
One for each time zone.
Nostradamus wrote these puppies in France.
Exactly seven time zones ahead of Chicago What's your drift? Chicago's your home town.
He was talking about you.
Nostradamus is full of crap.
No, he's not.
You're the twice-blessed man.
Twice cursed is more like it.
Hang onto that.
I'll call you.
Thanks Eddie.
On the seventh dawn of the seventh day, a twice-blessed man will roam the fields.
Doomed to shadows with his brethren or savior to all who walk the ground.
Journal entry number one: Gonna seek these bastards out.
Whenever something weird is going on you're gonna find Cade Foster.
With the help of my friend, Eddie Nambulous, what I find will fill the pages of Paranoid Times.
Maybe it will be a rode map for others, in the months and years ahead.
Cause we got a long way to go if we're gonna save this earth.
We know they're here They live in beautiful human shells.
Maybe our race is too attracted to beauty to be able to spot the evil that lies within.
On my bad days I wonder if the human race is even worth saving.
But then I think of Hannah.
We can beat them, believe in ourselves and each other.
And we'll kick their ashes all up and down the street.
As my buddy Eddie says: "Sometimes madmen turn out to be prophets" Uploading Joshua's memory essence to human husk.
Joshua.
I am here.
Traducerea ºi adaptarea - FlorinA
It's nice.

I don't know where you gentleman got this thing but I can bet it wasn't legal.
I'm 50-50 for the patent, or I'll have the law all over your necks.
The wave patterns spike like a human brain only stronger.
Larger brain capacity? An artificial intelligence that mimics the human brain? Oh, no computer can do that.
Do you know what the computer industry would pay for that? Think of the applications.
It's like having a working brain in the palm of your hand.
Who could have manufactured something like this? None of the majors I would have heard about.
If this thing was manufactured then we could recreate it.
The financial potential is astounding.
That's not what we had in mind.
Well, then you're a fool.
Roland, look! I can get development money We need to find out who manufactured this and where.
We need to manufacture it ourselves.
You don't understand! Roland, the graph is spiking.
You are not cutting me out, buddy.
No! Effect the transfer.
Effect the transfer.
He's okay.
He's okay.
Effect the transfer.
The Buddhists believe in the reincarnation of the soul from one animal shell to another.
What are you saying Eddie? This thing is some sort of delivery system, a fed-ex from outer space? There's no proof that this is alien in origin.
Roland said it was mechanical.
Well, maybe Roland was wrong.
Look, I've seen classified KGB documents that describe a mechanical device used to create six different Lee Harvey Oswalds.
Enough with the Oswalds.
Why are we going back to Dean's? We need to find the cloning lab Eddie.
And Dean knew the address.
What the hell happened here? This is how I found the place.
Memory's shot.
All the files have been deleted.
We gotta find the address to the lab.
You think he would have left any paper evidence? He's a webhead, paper's for dinosaurs.
Dean! What the hell are you doing? Where you been? Eddie.
What are you doing here? I was worried about you.
You didn't return my email.
I thought somebody offed you.
Been on the trail man, this story's bigger than big.
I know, I know man.
Wait till you hear what's been going on.
Sorry.
That's Cade, fellow traveler.
-He okay ? -Yeah.
I gotta show you some equipment I snared from the lab.
Foster already found it.
Do you mind if I get it back? Where is it? Hey Dean, you always leave your place looking like this? It's kind of weird, don't you think? You didn't even mention your house was trashed What's your problem Foster? What happened to your paranoid instinct Eddie, this isn't Dean.
What are you talking about? - Where is it? - Hey Dean, take it easy.
- Give me the orb! - Eddie! Give it to me! Now! Give me the orb! Eddie! Die alien scum! I always wanted to say that.
They don't like to leave evidence lying around.
That self annihilation is pretty clever.
Thanks, Eddie.
You're welcome.
This is the Dean machine.
He loved this car.
Hey, breaking and entering is a class A felony.
I won't tell if you won't.
Look for anything that might me an address.
Parking receipt, anything.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Paranoia is a lonely business.
Even if we find the lab they'll just think we're madmen.
Foster, sometimes madmen turn out to be prophets.
What's this? That's a G.
P.
S.
What's a G.
P.
S.
? Global Positioning System.
It's going to tell us where this car has been.
Move, move, move! Come on! What the hell is that? It's a modified nine mark.
It's got a digital cellular connection hooked up to my computer back home.
It's got more power than most small countries.
Let's see where this baby's been.
Will it give us an address? Elementary, my dear Watson.
That's his gym.
That's his office.
Presto! 2113 Korman Drive.
Yes, Eddie.
Yes! Okay, I've got my camera, ready to go.
Her name was Hannah.
She's beautiful.
You ready? Let's do it! I'm just warning you, you've gotta watch out.
These people are ruthless, I've watched them work.
There's nothing they won't do.
I don't mind admitting that I'm very, very frightened.
I'll go alone.
Hurry, Foster.
The system's got a triple backup.
I'm not going to be able to shut it off completely.
Then let's go home.
What I can do is give us a window.
Put a breaker in the system for 20 seconds that should give me enough time to pick the lock.
20 seconds? Come on, that's not enough time Foster.
Eddie, you're distracting me.
15, 14, 13, 12 11, 10, 9, 8 7, 6, 5, 4 So what are we looking for? You need a lot of energy to clone a human being.
Looking for a big room with a lot of noise.
Hell of a lot better looking than Lee Harvey Oswald.
Looks like Paranoid Times is about to increase its circulation, pal.
I've waited twenty years to find evidence like this.
We've got ourselves a room full of clones.
We have to be careful.
One of them has Joshua's orb.
Listen to that sound.
Man, it's freaky.
Look, they all have one of those golf balls.
Transferable conciousness.
Why would they do this? Think about it If you were an advanced team of aliens sent here to spy, how would you get here? What if your planet was too far away to come here by ship? If you wanted to look like us be us.
What would you do? Grow the bodies here.
They infuse them with consciousness.
Home grown aliens.
Wonder where they're from.
How long have they been here? And how many of these bodies have they sent into the world? Hundreds? Thousands? I don't know.
But we'll find out soon enough once we get the cops swarming all over this place.
Let's get out of here.
Eddie? Eddie? Eddie? Turn around.
Look at the monitor.
You have a connection to this man.
I have a connection to what's in your possession.
Give me the orb and you'll both go free.
No deal.
That's my only leverage.
This is 911 emergency operator.
What's your emergency please? If you speak the operator you friend dies.
Hello, is anyone there? Get out of here Foster, get help! Hang up the phone, Mr.
Foster.
Your address please.
Is anyone there? Tell them the address Foster.
I cannot read your phone number from the line.
Please pick up the receiver.
Foster, call the cops! It's your only chance.
Come here or I will kill him.
I can't send emergency assistance without the address.
- Right now! - Is anyone there? Address, please.
I will kill your friend.
I want the orb.
Please pick up the re Don't do it Foster.
Go! No! Disconnect the mainframe.
Override the transfer programming.
No! Power down all systems.
Hurry! I had the computer scan some of these quatrains.
Check it out.
From leagues away shall they arrive and rain blind terror upon all men.
An empty vessel for the soul, the retched beauty sleeps no more.
Empty vessel I mean, we're talking about the transfer.
Nostradamus predicted this 400 years ago.
That's stretching it a bit, don't you think? This is the real deal, Foster.
I think Nostradamus wrote this book to find these sons of the bitches.
Look, there's another prophecy I had scanned.
Century 1, Quatrain 1.
Nostradamus believes the destruction of Earth will come in three waves.
Third wave: Armageddon.
Second wave: Invasion from above.
And the first wave is already here.
And if we stop the First Wave we can prevent the others.
Says it all right here.
Does it say how? Actually, there's one more thing.
The page that was marked, Century 3, Quatrain 18: On the seventh dawn - of the seventh day - Read it.
How does one day have seven dawns, Eddie? Actually, everyday has 24 dawns.
One for each time zone.
Nostradamus wrote these puppies in France.
Exactly seven time zones ahead of Chicago What's your drift? Chicago's your home town.
He was talking about you.
Nostradamus is full of crap.
No, he's not.
You're the twice-blessed man.
Twice cursed is more like it.
Hang onto that.
I'll call you.
Thanks Eddie.
On the seventh dawn of the seventh day, a twice-blessed man will roam the fields.
Doomed to shadows with his brethren or savior to all who walk the ground.
Journal entry number one: Gonna seek these bastards out.
Whenever something weird is going on you're gonna find Cade Foster.
With the help of my friend, Eddie Nambulous, what I find will fill the pages of Paranoid Times.
Maybe it will be a rode map for others, in the months and years ahead.
Cause we got a long way to go if we're gonna save this earth.
We know they're here They live in beautiful human shells.
Maybe our race is too attracted to beauty to be able to spot the evil that lies within.
On my bad days I wonder if the human race is even worth saving.
But then I think of Hannah.
We can beat them, believe in ourselves and each other.
And we'll kick their ashes all up and down the street.
As my buddy Eddie says: "Sometimes madmen turn out to be prophets" Uploading Joshua's memory essence to human husk.
Joshua.
I am here.
