Wajo.
I fired you, didn't I? You broke in and made it this far.
Surely you knew the next step would be jail.
Yes, that is right.
Why? The sound: "Wajo.
" If that was audible, that means the Hoshi didn't depressurize.
In short, there's still air.
Which means Which means they are all alive? Hashimoto-san, how many years have you been married? I'm not sure how this is relevant.
Twenty-seven years.
Twenty-seven years.
Even if it was speculation, what if you were able to save your wife? What would you do? You were having an affair.
With who? Satoshi? Ryusei? But then that guy that man [STAMMERS.]

Look, we're headed to the next town.
There's a lot of provisions there for people who help.
We need volunteers.
[SOLDIER 2.]
And we could definitely use another doctor.
All right, so we're gonna leave your car here.
We need to limit traffic to our vehicles as much as we can.
There'll be supplies there.
One of ours heading this way will bring you back.
You can ride in the ambulance with the other medical staff.

Why'd you do that? - That was our only way to communicate - With who? Some Chinese halfway round the globe, yeah? Now we don't know what's going on.
Yes, we do.
Okay? Some terrorist blew bombs somewhere.
Or some Russian geezer finally dropped a bomb on the Yanks.
Or somebody shot up a church.
Or square.
Maybe even our school.
Okay? This is what they do.
Grown-ups always fucking up the world.
Now they've done it again.
Okay? It's always the same old shit, isn't it? Guys, we need to get home.
What, scared of some chocolate, yeah? You do wanna go home, don't you? What do you think it was? Yo, Casp.
You all right? [SIGHS.]
Yeah.
I'm good.
[GRUNTS.]
Aw, man.
Yeah, you'd think a brother would get used to death the more he sees it.
Fuck.
Shit.
[SIGHS.]
I'm not good at this stuff, man.
But dying's easy.
You know, you said that to me once, bro.
Fuck.
Fuck.
You said a lot of stupid shit, but, you know, I remember that one.
I remembered it.
[SCOFFS.]
And I remember the last thing that you said to me.
[WIND WHISTLING.]
You said, "Go home.
" There's some very real shit going on here.
And I know you saw it.
And that's why you said, "There's a fucking war coming.
" So I'm gonna listen to you this one time.
And I promise you I'm going home.
[SNIFFS.]
I'm going home, okay? [GRUNTS.]

You don't wanna go home, do you? Look, you can tell me, okay? You know my story.
Well, you don't know mine.
He didn't leave.

I wish he did.
Still shagging his secretary.
Different ones, different years.
Mum's still with us.
She's up most nights popping pills or whatever.
I I don't care.
What, you sad about it? That's why you don't wanna go home.
[JAMILA.]
You two having a snog? You You're scaring the others.
They should be scared.
All the more reason they don't need you making it worse.
Get on.
Let's go.
Yeah, grown-ups suck.
And, yeah, our parents are trying to off us.
But we can't just sit here and have a wank about it.
So let's go home, nom some Quavers, and then we can swap all the sob stories we want.
Okay? All right.
[JAMILA SIGHS.]
Grab whatever you can carry.
We're moving out.
[POPPY.]

Night's coming, innit? What about you? Casp, forget it, man.
This guy's all spit and no game.
This guy's scared of the dark.
- What you say, knobless? - I said, "Prove it.
" Prove you're not scared.
Prove you're not pissing your pants right now, knobless.
Alfie, listen, we've all the right to be pissing our pants right now.
He's the one pissing his pants.
How am I supposed to piss my pants if I ain't got a knob? - You squat.
- You squat! Leave him, okay? Let him stay if he wants.
I'm not staying.
The last thing I need is to sit around and waste another minute with you lot.
Let's go.
J.
Yo, bruv.
To be real, I'm not scared of shit, but my leg's fucked.
Catch a cabbie or something.

What do they need us to do? - What procedures? Beats me.
Whatever they give us, I guess.

Can someone get me the towels? - [WATER RUNNING.]
Angela, you wanna help me over here? I got a laceration that needs closing.
I could, uh, use your help here.
Don't know what caused it.
Nurse said he had some kind of collision, something.

Looks clean though.
Angela.
Angela, we need to close him up.

[DAVID.]
If I had closed him up with that in there, he would have died.
[SIGHS.]
You saved him.
[DISTORTED STATIC.]
[HASHIMOTO, IN JAPANESE.]
This was sent from Kibo about six hours ago.
At first, we thought it was a malfunction.
When we looked into it, we realized that it wasn't coming from inside Kibo.
That means Sound cannot travel through space.
We didn't know how to interpret it.
But listen.
It repeats.
Perfectly.
Then here [DISTORTED RADIO STATIC CONTINUES.]
That's why you called linguists in.
A language without sound.
What in the world What is it? Alien? [HASHIMOTO.]
Both its source and form are extraterrestrial in nature.
There is also interferometry data getting collected by at least six event horizon telescopes.
Wajo.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yes? Yes, I see.
The Americans are on their way.
All allied space programs are cooperating with America on this.
"Cooperating"? What does America care about the Hoshi? Or her crew? I know that capsule.
I need equipment, a portable system to establish communication with the antenna I can't give you JASA equipment.
But if you broke in and stole it from me after I fired you You can get into any room with this.
You asked me what I would do if it were possible to save my wife.
It's obvious.
Anything.
Yamato-san don't let anybody get in your way.
Bring her back.
[SIGHS.]
[CELL PHONE BEEPING.]
Come on.
[BEEPING.]
- [LINE RINGS.]

necessary.
So far, there's no official word from the White House.
- Watching what? - The TV, all this stuff that's going on.
It's on the TV? What are they saying? Why? You know something about it? [REPORTER.]
and air traffic control outages continue to [CONTINUES, INDISTINCT.]
- Are you somewhere safe? - What? I'm home.
Trev, you're scaring me.
Don't be scared.
Just listen, okay? Look, I know where a NATO base is.
Camp Travis is 80 miles away, just outside Karz.
The last liftoff, okay? And maybe with the Germans I don't think you coming here is a good idea.
- Trev, please.
Don't - And I know I haven't been Don't No, don't don't do this.
You ran away.
You did.
Just listen.
I just need you to stay there.
Stay safe and listen to me.
- I'm listening, Trev.
I'm safe.
- 'Cause I'm coming home.
Okay? It won't be the same.
It won't ever be the same.
I know that.
But you need to just Trev, please.
[REPORTER.]
Breaking from Washington, rather a secure location, the president is about to address the nation.
- [LEARAH.]
Trev? It's the president.
- We go live now to the president.
- What? - [LEARAH.]
On the TV.
I think she's about to tell us what the hell's going on.
Hold up.
[PRESIDENT.]
My fellow Americans and fellow citizens of the world, this address is being broadcast in over 100 languages across every continent.
What I have to say to you is not something I was ever prepared to say.
And I do not expect you to be prepared to hear it.
As many of you know by now, we are suffering from inexplicable and seemingly unrelated incidents around the world, ranging from power outages, the destruction of communications, infrastructure and homes.
We now believe these incidents are not unrelated, but, in fact, connected.
Connected to signals received, by event horizon telescopes around the world all aimed at the sky, monitoring the stars and what may lay beyond.
Today I am here to tell you that we are not alone in the universe.
What is being visited upon our Earth is not of our Earth.
[WOMAN.]
Dear God.
- Protect us from evil.
- We do not yet know - the purpose or the predisposition - [WOMAN.]
Watch over us, God, please.
of this alien arrival.
So I am hoping we can maintain our equanimity.
And, more importantly [WOMAN, IN JAPANESE.]
The crew perished.
- our unity.
- The system was attacked.
Now, more than ever - The US command system - we must come together - is in an incredibly dangerous situation.
- regardless of flag, faction, religion, or race.
For we all belong to one race today.
The human race.
We are all What Yamato-san is talking about is Murai-san We are all family.
So hold your loved ones close.
And do the same for strangers who need shelter.
US PRESIDENT MAKES STATEMEN ON THE GLOBAL CRISIS - [PEOPLE CLAMORING.]
- [WOMAN.]
We need help up here.
[CLAMORING, SHOUTING.]
Doctor.
Doctor.
Listen, we're moving as many doctors around as we can.
They need emergency help right up the highway.
A lot more people, a lot less doctors.
Are you ready to move now? Please.
- We need you.
Please.
- Are you Are you all right? I mean My God.
I don't know what I mean.
We made a vow, an oath on the Bible, or whatever, right? It wasn't the Bible.
Whatever it was, we're doctors.
We've already made this choice, right? Angela? [SOLDIER.]
Ma'am, we need to go now.
Please.
[SOLDIER 2.]
Go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's move.
[PRESIDENT.]

Why'd you do that? - That was our only way to communicate - With who? Some Chinese halfway round the globe, yeah? Now we don't know what's going on.
Yes, we do.
Okay? Some terrorist blew bombs somewhere.
Or some Russian geezer finally dropped a bomb on the Yanks.
Or somebody shot up a church.
Or square.
Maybe even our school.
Okay? This is what they do.
Grown-ups always fucking up the world.
Now they've done it again.
Okay? It's always the same old shit, isn't it? Guys, we need to get home.

But dying's easy.
You know, you said that to me once, bro.
Fuck.
Fuck.
You said a lot of stupid shit, but, you know, I remember that one.
I remembered it.
[SCOFFS.]
And I remember the last thing that you said to me.
[WIND WHISTLING.]
You said, "Go home.
" There's some very real shit going on here.
And I know you saw it.
And that's why you said, "There's a fucking war coming.
" So I'm gonna listen to you this one time.
And I promise you I'm going home.
[SNIFFS.]

You don't wanna go home, do you? Look, you can tell me, okay? You know my story.
Well, you don't know mine.
He didn't leave.
My old man.
I wish he did.
Still shagging his secretary.
Different ones, different years.
Mum's still with us.
She's up most nights popping pills or whatever.
I I don't care.

They should be scared.
All the more reason they don't need you making it worse.

Let's go.
Yeah, grown-ups suck.
And, yeah, our parents are trying to off us.
But we can't just sit here and have a wank about it.
So let's go home, nom some Quavers, and then we can swap all the sob stories we want.
Okay? All right.

This guy's scared of the dark.

" Prove you're not scared.
Prove you're not pissing your pants right now, knobless.
Alfie, listen, we've all the right to be pissing our pants right now.
He's the one pissing his pants.
How am I supposed to piss my pants if I ain't got a knob? - You squat.

I'm not staying.
The last thing I need is to sit around and waste another minute with you lot.

If I had closed him up with that in there, he would have died.
[SIGHS.]
You saved him.
[DISTORTED STATIC.]
[HASHIMOTO, IN JAPANESE.]
This was sent from Kibo about six hours ago.
At first, we thought it was a malfunction.
When we looked into it, we realized that it wasn't coming from inside Kibo.
That means Sound cannot travel through space.
We didn't know how to interpret it.
But listen.
It repeats.
Perfectly.
Then here [DISTORTED RADIO STATIC CONTINUES.]
That's why you called linguists in.
A language without sound.
What in the world What is it? Alien? [HASHIMOTO.]
Both its source and form are extraterrestrial in nature.
There is also interferometry data getting collected by at least six event horizon telescopes.
Wajo.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yes? Yes, I see.
The Americans are on their way.
All allied space programs are cooperating with America on this.
"Cooperating"? What does America care about the Hoshi? Or her crew? I know that capsule.
I need equipment, a portable system to establish communication with the antenna I can't give you JASA equipment.
But if you broke in and stole it from me after I fired you You can get into any room with this.
You asked me what I would do if it were possible to save my wife.
It's obvious.
Anything.
Yamato-san don't let anybody get in your way.
Bring her back.
[SIGHS.]
[CELL PHONE BEEPING.]
Come on.
[BEEPING.]
- [LINE RINGS.]

Hello? - Learah? - Trev? [SIGHS.]

necessary.
So far, there's no official word from the White House.
- Watching what? - The TV, all this stuff that's going on.
It's on the TV? What are they saying? Why? You know something about it? [REPORTER.]
and air traffic control outages continue to [CONTINUES, INDISTINCT.]
- Are you somewhere safe? - What? I'm home.
Trev, you're scaring me.
Don't be scared.
Just listen, okay? Look, I know where a NATO base is.
Camp Travis is 80 miles away, just outside Karz.
The last liftoff, okay? And maybe with the Germans I don't think you coming here is a good idea.
- Trev, please.
Don't - And I know I haven't been Don't No, don't don't do this.
You ran away.
You did.
Just listen.
I just need you to stay there.
Stay safe and listen to me.
- I'm listening, Trev.

- 'Cause I'm coming home.
Okay? It won't be the same.
It won't ever be the same.
I know that.
But you need to just Trev, please.
[REPORTER.]
Breaking from Washington, rather a secure location, the president is about to address the nation.
- [LEARAH.]
Trev? It's the president.
- We go live now to the president.
- What? - [LEARAH.]
On the TV.
I think she's about to tell us what the hell's going on.
Hold up.
[PRESIDENT.]
My fellow Americans and fellow citizens of the world, this address is being broadcast in over 100 languages across every continent.
What I have to say to you is not something I was ever prepared to say.
And I do not expect you to be prepared to hear it.
As many of you know by now, we are suffering from inexplicable and seemingly unrelated incidents around the world, ranging from power outages, the destruction of communications, infrastructure and homes.
We now believe these incidents are not unrelated, but, in fact, connected.
Connected to signals received, by event horizon telescopes around the world all aimed at the sky, monitoring the stars and what may lay beyond.
Today I am here to tell you that we are not alone in the universe.
What is being visited upon our Earth is not of our Earth.
[WOMAN.]
Dear God.
- Protect us from evil.
- We do not yet know - the purpose or the predisposition - [WOMAN.]
Watch over us, God, please.
of this alien arrival.
So I am hoping we can maintain our equanimity.
And, more importantly [WOMAN, IN JAPANESE.]
The crew perished.
- our unity.
- The system was attacked.
Now, more than ever - The US command system - we must come together - is in an incredibly dangerous situation.
- regardless of flag, faction, religion, or race.
For we all belong to one race today.
The human race.
We are all What Yamato-san is talking about is Murai-san We are all family.
So hold your loved ones close.
And do the same for strangers who need shelter.
US PRESIDENT MAKES STATEMEN ON THE GLOBAL CRISIS - [PEOPLE CLAMORING.]
- [WOMAN.]
We need help up here.
[CLAMORING, SHOUTING.]
Doctor.
Doctor.
Listen, we're moving as many doctors around as we can.
They need emergency help right up the highway.
A lot more people, a lot less doctors.
Are you ready to move now? Please.
- We need you.
Please.
- Are you Are you all right? I mean My God.
I don't know what I mean.
We made a vow, an oath on the Bible, or whatever, right? It wasn't the Bible.
Whatever it was, we're doctors.
We've already made this choice, right? Angela? [SOLDIER.]
Ma'am, we need to go now.
Please.
[SOLDIER 2.]
Go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's move.
[PRESIDENT.]
