Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) Movie Script
Perhaps it's fate
that today is the 4th of July.
You will once again
be fighting for our freedom.
Not from tyranny,
oppression or persecution.
But from annihilation.
We're fighting for
our right to live.
We're fighting for
our right to live.
INDEPENDENCE DAY
RESURGENCE
but as the day when
the world declared in one voice.
"We will not go
quietly into the night!"
"We will not vanish
without a fight!"
"We're going to live on!
We're going to survive."
Today, we celebrate our Independence...
MORRRISTOWN
VIRGINIA
The countless lives that
we lost in the war of '96
did not perish in vain.
They inspired us to rise from the
ashes as one people of one world.
For 20 years the world has
seen no arm conflict.
Nations have put their
petty differences aside.
United, we rebuild our families,
our cities and our lives.
The fusion of human and alien technology
not only enable us to defy gravity
and travel with unimaginable speed.
It also made our planet
finally safe again.
- Great speech, Patty.
- Thank you, Madam President.
One moment.
We're ready for you, sir.
Captain Hiller.
- Welcome to the White House.
- It's great to be back.
I cannot tell you how proud we are
to have you flying our flag out there.
- It's an honor, Madam President.
- Your father was a great man.
He'd be so proud.
I think you know the
Secretary of Defense.
- Sir.
- Nice to see you again, son.
And that one,
I don't have to introduce you to.
You're moving up in the world.
Say's America's knight
in shining armor.
Now you're the one
bagging the White House.
As an employee, I don't quite get
the same benefits as when I lived here.
- Captain.
- Yeah.
- We're ready for you.
- Thank you.
Dylan.
Be nice to Jake when
you see him up there.
Moon Tug-10, confirm position.
7 miles and closing.
The slowest trip of my life.
Hey, cheer up.
There're worse things you could be doing
than towing a half trillion dollar of weapon.
Yeah.
Well, I need a little more stimulation.
Hey, you know.
I'd never follow you up here.
Yeah, you did.
You get lonely without me.
I was the youngest valedictorian
in the history of the academy.
I could have been
stationed anywhere.
Like San Diego, you know?
Beaches, surfing.
- You never surf a day in you life.
- But I'm a fast learner.
And I got great balance.
Like a cat.
Cats hate water, Charlie.
4% to first thrust.
Roger.
Tug-10 reversing thrust, 4%.
The Tugs and the weapon
are on final approach.
They are in position, sir.
Docking in
3. 2. 1.
Initiate uncoupling sequence.
All Tugs disengage.
Trust there are only 36 women
on this moon base.
I'm sure one of them will
eventually come around, pal.
You know, it's not like
they all rejected me.
I happen to have standards.
- Whoa. What did you do?
- Nothing.
That didn't sound
like nothing!
Tug-10 collided
with the weapon.
The clamps are stuck.
They are not responding, sir.
All Tugs, take evasive action.
Pull back!
Pull back!
- Charlie, it's going to crash the base.
- I said, PULL BACK!
Uh, that's a negative, sir.
- This isn't a fire, Jake.
- Don't remind me!
Lieutenant Miller,
what are you idiots doing?
I don't know, sir.
We're going to die!
This is how I die!
Sir, he's slowing the fall.
Go to your docking place.
I'm kicking into fusion drive!
Are you crazy?
We'll burn up.
Yeah, that's very possible!
Come on!
ENGINES OVERHEATING
YES!
Yes!
It's actually working!
I honestly didn't think
that was going to work.
Uh, shit.
Jiang's coming in hot.
And he's got that look.
This is our base.
He knows we don't
speak Chinese, right?
You almost destroyed us.
- That was a close call, sir.
- You almost got us all killed.
Ah, yeah.
But then I saved everyone.
You don't get credit for
cleaning up you own mess.
And you destroyed
one of our Tugs.
Uh, actually, sir.
If anybody's to blame I...
Sir, I lost my focus.
It won't happen again.
No, it won't.
You're grounded until further notice.
Can I still watch TV or...
You didn't have
to take the fall?
Yeah, well.
He already hates me, why break tradition.
Transport 103, ARP1
General Adams, we're being
directed to Alien Prison platform 1.
SPACE DEFENSE HEADQUARTERS
AREA 51- NEVADA
- General.
- This better be good.
My wife and I were enjoying
a very nice morning
in a very expensive
bed and breakfast.
Sorry, sir.
I thought you should see this.
Sir.
It started a couple
of hours ago.
Look how their behaviour changed.
After 20 years,
they are being catatonic.
Get me director Levinson.
We tried.
He's unreachable, sir.
U.N. RESEARCH MISSION
CENTRAL AFRICA
You need to take me seriously.
I've been chasing you across
the planet for 3 weeks now.
But, now that I have you.
Excuse me.
Who are you again?
Floyd Rosenberg,
government appointed controller.
Please be advised.
Entering hostile territories,
we should slow down.
We don't want to look like
we are posing a threat.
Now, we are going to
start with appendix 2.
I know a lot of people have a
negative reaction to being audited.
- But I actually find that it's a
very constructive experience.
- Lloyd. Lloyd. Lloyd.
- It's Floyd.
- We have to meet a friend right now.
A great guy.
Come say hi.
Where are we?
Director Levinson.
Director Levinson.
Who are those men?
- It's Umbutu's rebel forces.
- The Warlord?
I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
His old man just died.
And I hear that the son
is much more of a moderate.
But... uh.
Hey, fellas.
Howdy doody.
Say, uh.
I'm looking for Dikembe Umbutu.
I see you found their armory.
The one and only David Levinson.
Catherine.
Wow.
Wh.. um. What are you-
What are you doing here?
You don't think you're the
only expert he called, do you?
Um. I'm so surprise to see you.
A little bit.
I'm a little surprise that
you remember my name.
Hey, hey.
Come on.
Let's be...
Let's be professional.
Well. We both remembered
what happened the last time
we tried to be professional.
I'm sensing a affable tension here.
We've bumped into each other
in a few conferences.
I bet you have.
Shut up, Floyd.
Director Levinson, I'm sorry,
we're not done with our business here.
Where are your papers?
- What papers?
- Uh, it looks like this.
So why does Umbutu junior
need a psychiatrist.
Unresolved daddy issues?
These people fought a grand war
with the aliens for 10 years.
Their connection is the
strongest I've ever seen.
It's as if their mind is tapped
into the aliens subconscious.
Yeah. Your obsession with the
'human-alien psychic residual condition'.
You, calling me obsessive.
That's cute.
How did they get the lights on?
We didn't.
It happened on it's own,
2 days ago.
Of course you're aware that this
is the only ship that landed in '96.
And so I appreciate you finally granting
us this access, Mr. Umbutu.
Your father was... very tenacious.
His pride caused the death of
more than half of my people.
- Including my brother.
- I'm so sorry.
- Becareful!
- Whoa!
Wow.
What happened here?
They were drilling.
For what?
Man, I don't know.
When did the drilling stop?
When you blew up the mother ship.
And uh. Right now for us,
anyway to get up there?
You're not afraid of heights,
are you?
Oh yes, I do.
Oh my god.
That's the same pattern.
So the signal was
coming from this ship.
20 years ago, when we
destroyed the mother ship,
we detected a burst in
an X-band frequency
directed towards deep space.
Oh.
The distress call.
Looks like someone picked up
the phone and answered.
I'm going crazy up here,
I can't take it anymore.
Tell me how much
you miss me.
Actually the chief of staff just
got a really handsome intern.
Not quite as tall as you,
but has great dimples,
and plays a cello.
- You know how much I miss you.
- You know what?
I'm going to steal a Tug and
come back to see you right now.
No, please don't.
Because the last time you did that,
they added a month
to your tour.
Come on. Tell me that wasn't
the best 2 minutes of your life.
Yes.
Yes.
But I would like my fiance
back permanently.
What was that?
We've been getting these power
surges for the last couple of days.
You take a look at the
houses I send you?
No, I haven't yet.
I just um...
It's okay.
There's no rush.
I saw Dylan at the
White House today.
I just think you two need
to have a conversation.
So he's shaking hands with the president
and I'm stuck on the moon.
Ha ha.
It must be nice.
You nearly killed him, remember.
Give him a little credit, Jake.
P?
CONNECTION LOS QQ
Thank you for using QQ.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Please welcome the
International Legacy Squadron.
Captain Hiller
Considering he died during a test flight,
how do you feel taking off for the moon
from a hanger named
after your father.
He would have love it.
It's too bad he's
not here to see it.
Captain Lao, China has been integral
to the Earth Space Defense program,
is there anything you want to
say to the folks back home?
To be on the same team that
represents the unity of the world...
I didn't want to text you,
I wanted to hear your voice.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
My boy, making a name for himself.
Are you going
to be okay, Mom?
Just tell me you'll
be careful up there.
Moon Base, this is Legacy Squadron.
We're on the final approach,
requesting permission to land.
Permission granted.
Welcome to the moon, Captain.
Just keep it cool.
Just don't hit him.
It's easy.
- Lieutenant Lao.
- Lieutenant, over here
Rain.
Rain.
Do I get an autograph too?
Back to work.
Uncle Jiang!
You look more and more
like your mother.
Every girl would like to hear that.
Mengniu moon milk.
I have been looking
all over for you.
- I've got good news.
- Yeah.
The pilot the China sent
is my future wife
and I mean it.
I think my heart exploded.
It's like our souls
were communi...
He just walked in, didn't he?
Yeah, he did.
Okay.
You're not gonna finish this?
You mind moving?
We both know what happens
when you get in my way.
I've waited a long
time to do that.
Morrison.
What's going on here?
I asked you a QUESTION.
Yes. Uh.
Sir, the floor is very slippery.
Becareful if I were you.
Great to see you, Dylan.
I was so close to
punching him back.
I think you made
the right choice.
You did almost kill him, but...
that's why they have ejection seats.
No, I went too far.
It's the only way I thought
I could... stand out.
It was never going to be you
leading that squadron.
That's not the way
the world works.
You know he's royalty.
Bridges to office.
You know the last thing
I said to my parents was
I hated them.
The only reason I'm still alive
is they dropped me off
at that stupid camp.
Well, I'm glad they did.
Because you're the
only family I got.
Alright, final training time.
Winner leads the Legacy Squadron.
Why don't you just
give up, Morrison?
Second place would just
have to be good enough.
Yeah.
We'll see about that, Captain Hiller.
Passing on the Left!
Hey, there's not enough room!
Damn it, Jake.
You're going to clip my wing.
Control, I'm going down.
Ejecting!
Ejecting!
Dr. O'Brian, please report
to the surgical theater.
Good morning, Brakish.
How are we today?
I brought you a new one.
Dactylorhiza maculata, or
the spotted orchid.
And when it fully blooms,
the lavender...
is going to take
your breath away.
Can you believe it?
You've been in a coma
for 7300 days.
I made you a gift.
I took a knitting class.
Is it itchy?
You tell me if it was itchy,
I'll...
Ah!
Okay.
You're awake.
Did...
Did we win?
Anne!
Bring in the medical team, he's awake!
Where's-Where's my glasses?
I can't see.
They're right here.
They're right here.
How long was I out?
A long time, baby.
A long time.
Yeah, I can see that.
Babe.
You got a bit fat.
And really bald.
You still look great.
This just came in from Hubble.
There's some kind of force
pulling in Saturn's rings.
Holy Christ.
What about our defense base there?
It's gone.
It's not just the base, it's like
the whole moon just vanished.
- Up the alert level to red.
- Right away.
Hey, honey.
Listen, I want you to
pack up your stuff
and go to your
sister's right now.
Well, but this symbol comes out more
often than anything I've encountered.
Look.
Look at the similarities.
How can you not
see the relevance.
No, it's not that
I don't see it.
I just feel that right now
there are more pressing matters
than analyzing doodles.
You know, like a giant
space ship turning back on.
- Sir.
- Yeah.
- We lost all contact with Saturn.
- What?
- We need to notify the President.
- Already tried.
Tanner said he'll get back
to us after the press talk.
Bypass Tanner, hurry.
And you talk to Lanford now.
- Right. Right. Right.
- Thank you.
Uh, at least your father
spared the elephants.
Good for him.
Look.
The Roswell crash, in '47.
The farmer who made contact
drew the same circle.
And everytime I interviewed one of
my patients and showed them this.
- They all expressed the same emotion.
- Mm-Hm.
Fear.
And I don't think
it's a circle.
The night the ship turned on.
I experienced the strongest
vision I've ever had.
And I drew this.
LIFE AFTER CONTACT.
COLLECTED CASE STUDIES.
ALIEN MIND
That's incredible.
How did you decipher
so much of their language?
They were hunting us.
We have to learn
how to hunt them.
You... beautiful.
- That means you're beautiful.
- Oh. Thanks, man.
Not you.
I mean...
You have to remove
the sub-sonic inlets
before you can reconfigure the
thermalize plasma cartridges.
That's great. Why don't you put
that thing down and help me?
Okay. Try to have a good
grasp of today's situation.
There she is.
Ah.
- It's happening.
- God damn it.
The chemical reaction,
the pheromones.
All the blood of my body
is rushing to my head.
Your head, huh.
- I'm going to go introduce myself.
- Yeah, no problem.
God.
SHIT!
So.
You must the pilot China sent.
- Did the giant flag give it away?
- There's that.
In fact, I heard you speaking
Chinese earlier anyway
I was wondering if you
want to get a drink,
maybe fall in love.
- Aren't you a little young for that?
- I'm 23 and I have.
All personnel, report to
your stations immediately.
Arm the primary.
- Get me the Security Council.
- Yes, sir.
On screen.
- Sir.
- Yeah.
This just came in.
It was a spaceship.
Madam President, the heads
of state are coming online.
David, are you seeing this?
Yes, Madam President.
I'm looking right at it.
They could be initiating an attack.
We need to strike first.
Uh, hold on.
Hang on a second.
To my eye,
the design and technology
of this ship
is nothing like the ones
that attacked us.
I'm telling you
this is not them.
- And what if you're wrong?
- If you're wrong,
we could be starting a war
with a whole new species.
At this point, we know the
Saturn base has been destroyed.
Madam President, this could very
well be a coordinated attack.
- Get the cannon into firing position.
- Yes, sir.
We should be cautious
and listen to Director Levinson.
How does the rest
of the Council feel?
Let's hold off until
we know more.
We have to be decisive.
I vote to attack.
I also vote to strike.
Madam President,
I need an answer.
Take them out, Commander.
We are locked on.
I think this is a mistake.
Let's take another moment...
Fire!
Get me an image.
It crashed into
Van de Graaff crater.
We are not picking up
any signs of life.
Let's hope to god
we did the right thing.
Madam President, we need to send
a team up to investigate the wreckage.
We need to know who
we just shot down.
There's no sign of life and
the threat has been neutralized.
We can send a team up,
but David needs to be in DC.
No, oh.
Can we not make this political.
I need to get up there
and get answers.
David, you can lead a team up there,
but after the celebration.
You heard the President.
I'll expect to see you next to us
tomorrow wearing your best smile.
You want to see
my best smile?
CONNECTION TERMINATED.
Did he just
hang up on me?
Sure sounded that way to me, sir.
Where are you going?
Jake.
I really think you should
think this through.
Okay, everyone get out!
I'm taking off.
Wait wait wait...
Our Tug's not gonna fly.
That's why we're taking Mike's Tug.
Oh, Jiang is not
going to like this.
At approximately 2100 hours,
Earth Space Defense program
repelled an alien attack
targeting our planet.
It wasn't them.
- You can't know that for sure.
- It wasn't them.
- I have to tell the world.
- Sir, it's time for your meds.
I have to talk to the
Joint chiefs of Staff!
Matthew, can you just
give us a second, please.
You shouldn't be wasting your
time with a crazy old man.
You gave up flying
to take care of me
and I know how
much you loved it.
You should be with Jake.
He's on the moon, remember?
And then you should be
with the President.
I am with the President.
They are coming back.
And this time we won't
be able to stop them.
I will avenge you, brother.
Hey, wait wait wait.
I need a receipt!
So how do you
know this guy?
Oh.
He's Patricia Whitmore's fiance.
Thank you so much.
- Good job, Collins.
- Sir.
Someone called a cab?
- Thanks for doing this, Jake.
- No problem.
Let's get moving though
'cause I kinda stole this thing.
- I'm coming with you.
- Uh, you know.
This is an ESD operation.
Strictly off limits to
all civilians and warlords.
I let you in.
It would be wise for you
to return the favor.
There he goes.
Where's he going?
- Oh, I'm coming too.
- Catherine.
Look, something is
drawing him out there
and I'm going to
find out what.
Excuse me.
Uh, Director Levinson.
Where the heck do you
think you are going?
Why don't you join us, Floyd?
Everyone else is.
- Might do you some good.
- No. No no no.
You're not getting on that thing
and neither am I.
Okay, we're going to stay here.
And we're gonna...
Hi.
I've never been in a Space Tug before,
is there anything I should know?
There's a lot you should know.
Seat belt.
Obviously.
David, why don't you take a seat.
- Re-Really? In the...
- What's the matter? You nervous?
Uh.
You know, it's not my favourite.
Oh, don't worry.
I haven't crash in...
... a couple of days.
But that was intentional.
What?
Okay, here we go.
God.
I forgot how much I hate this.
- Bye!
- Bye.
That wasn't so bad.
I haven't kicked on
the fusion drive yet.
Huh?
And in our darkest moment,
when all hope was lost.
I said, "Never give up."
"You have to have faith."
And in that moment,
it came to me.
Pow!
Like a thunderbolt.
And that's when I came up with
the idea that saved the world.
Yeah.
Uh, sir?
- Huh?
- Ah, there he is.
Welcome back.
This book is a bargain!
It makes a great gift
for your grandchildren.
If you're lucky enough
to have any.
Are you ready to go, Mr. Trest.
Don't rush.
Dad, you awake?
I thought we could watch
the celebration on TV together.
Matthew!
What was that?
We're flying through the
old mother ship's debris field.
Don't worry.
These are basically space tanks.
Space tanks, huh.
Coming up to the
Van de Graaff crater.
There it is.
That's the crash site.
Today, we are honored to be
in the presence of some of the
brave men and women, who
defied insurmountable odds
and lead us to victory of our
alien invaders 2 decades ago.
General Grey and his
beautiful wife, Audrey.
We thank you for your
unwavering leadership.
Jackson.
Where the hell is Levinson?
So what are we looking for?
Well, I'm hoping
we'll know when we see it.
Is there a way of seeing
what they are seeing?
You can even talk to them.
Nice tattoos.
That's how many aliens
you killed, right?
So.
How did you do it?
You have to get
them from behind.
Catherine.
I think I just found
another one of your doodles.
Charlie.
Tell commander to prep
the lab at Area 51.
How's it looking out there,
Captain Hiller?
It's truly humbling to see how beautiful
Earth is from here, Madam President.
On this day, in 1996,
President Whitmore passionately declared,
"We will not go
quietly into the night!"
and we did not.
It's President Whitmore!
What a surprise.
Ladies and gentlemen,
another great war hero.
The one and only,
President Thomas Whitmore.
Please say a few words!
Today...
... I'm not going to.
I... came to warn you.
Dad?
Dad.
Help me.
That is definitely...
bigger than the last one.
Shit.
Hey, Charlie.
I think you better
come and get us.
The sooner the better.
- AS IN RIGHT NOW!
- I'm already on it.
Everybody strap in!
It's going to get bumpy!
Charlie, where the hell are you?
Flying through my worst nightmare.
David!
Grab my hand!
Come on!
Reach!
We're in, close the ram!
This just came in from
one of our lunar satellites.
The ship is more than
3,000 miles in diameter.
How the hell
did we miss this?
Activate all our defense systems
and shut down the celebration.
Attention. Attention.
We have an emergency situation.
Let's go, move.
Get her out of here.
Please leave the premises
in a calm and orderly fashion.
I repeat.
Please leave the premises
in a calm and orderly fashion.
- We got to move!
- Not without that piece.
Yeah, I thought you
were going to say that.
Charlie, get on the arms.
Talk to me, Charlie.
What's happening?
- Damn it.
- What do you mean, damn it?
I'm trying my best.
Stop fighting, just grab it!
Got it!
Go. Go!
There's a flying mountain
coming right for us.
Hold on!
Oh shit.
I'm losing speed.
Jesus, it has it's own gravity.
- What does that mean?
- It means we're going for a ride.
You mean we're stuck
under this thing?
Arm the primary.
We're powered up
and locked on.
Fire!
Negative impact.
Negative impact.
Permission to engage.
Negative. Negative.
All fighters clear the blast zone.
Arm the primary
and fire again!
Above us.
Something is happening.
Sir.
Evacuate, EVERYONE!
Go.
Go!
Uncle Jiang, hurry!
Rain, watch out!
All fighters, fall back.
Fall back!
Copy.
It's projected to enter
Earth's atmosphere in 22 minutes.
If it doesn't alter
it current velocity,
it's going to crack
the planet in half.
We're not going to let
that happen, Tanner.
- Initiate the Orbital Defense System.
- Yes, ma'am.
General Adams, we are primed
and ready to fire.
Initiate simultaneous count down.
Roger, command.
Syncing now.
Starting count down.
10. 9. 8.
Here we go again.
5. 4. 3. 2.
General, the Asian Pacific Defense System
went off line before they could fire.
Yes, sir.
Copy that!
Jake's alive!
He radioed us from the moon!
He's with Director Levinson!
They're on their way to Area 51!
That Hercules right there
is on standby.
President Lanford just rolled in,
make a hole.
Madam President, can you take
my father to Cheyenne Mountain?
- Yes, of course.
- I'm going with you, Patty.
Dad.
You're going to need me.
- Wish us luck.
- Ma'am, we have to go.
Director Levinson.
I'm going to talk
to my supervisor
to make sure you get all
the money you need!
What are those green lights?
I need you all to help us.
Quickly! Quickly!
Help!
Help!
Let's go!
Hey!
Where are you going?
The ship will touch down
over the Atlantic.
- Which part?
- All of it, ma'am.
Issue evacuation order
for every coastline.
I don't think there's time.
So what's the plan?
We have less than 20 minutes to
get every patient out of here.
- Move.
- Yes, ma'am.
We still have two in surgery.
- Get them to post-op
as fast as you can.
- Absolutely.
Help, please.
I got you, honey.
I'm not going to leave you.
What goes up,
must come down.
We're free.
Don't worry, we're
in a controlled dive!
- Falling. It's called falling.
- No, controlled dive.
Nice.
Nice.
Jesus.
They like to get the landmarks.
Are we dead?
We're okay.
You peed in your pants?
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, me too.
SALVAGE EXPEDITION
MID ATLANTIC RIDGE
We can access the
trench through here.
- Are you sure?
- Mm-hm, a 100%.
This, right here.
That's the best way in.
Yeah, we got it.
Captain, they are ordering
all ships out of the area.
That's a 100 million dollars
worth of gold on that ship.
They think we're going to leave it,
they're out of their minds.
Captain.
You better come and see this.
To all aircraft within
the sound of my voice,
we expect the devastation to the
east coast to be beyond imagination.
The rally point for all remaining
aircraft is Area 51.
Rain, you take the lead.
I'll meet you there.
I got to see about someone.
Good luck.
- You okay?
- My mother lives in London.
Maybe she made it out.
Yeah.
Maybe.
- Dad, where are you?
- On my boat, where else.
David, this one is definitely
bigger than the last one.
You can see it?
Uh, listen to me.
You have to get to shore
as fast as you can.
Dad!
David.
David?
Oh, sweet Moses.
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
- We're going to die!
- No. No.
Look at me. Look at me.
We are not going to die.
Marine 3, clear.
I got bodies on the hospital roof
that need immediate evac!
I got you.
I got you.
Yes!
Yes.
Come on, let's go.
Hand him the baby.
It's okay.
Okay.
Please becareful.
You're going to be alright.
He's got her.
Get on board.
Get on board.
We got to go right now!
Good girl.
MOM!
Pull her up!
Pull her up!
No!
No, mom!
Nooooo!
Whoa. Whoa.
Oh my!
Why did I buy this boat?
Whoa.
Whoa.
Glad to have you back, Mr. President.
It's been far too long.
Thank you.
- Is David Levinson here?
- Not yet.
Morrison's tug is still
10 minutes out.
Have them meet us
at the prison.
We need to interrogate one.
What the...
It's gotten worse.
Much worse.
Mr. President?
Dr. Okun.
- You're awake.
- Very much so.
Why are they screaming?
No.
No, no, no.
They-They...
They're not screaming.
They're celebrating.
General, one of the prison cells
is docking with the chamber.
Where's my dad?
- I... I think he went in there.
- Get the weapons!
Let's go!
Let's go!
We have alien guns?
OVERRIDE SYSTEM
CHAMBER LOCK
Isolation chamber activated.
How did he get in here?
Dad, it's too dangerous.
- Someone get him out of there.
- He overrode the system.
Sir, please unlock the door!
Don't you worry about me.
Just get as many
answers as you can.
No.
Don't!
Whitmore locked himself in.
Can you hear us?
She has arrived.
Who is she?
She... is all.
What does she want?
What does this mean?
What does this symbol mean?
Why are you afraid of it?
- It's killing him!
- That's enough!
Move!
Kill it now!
Dad?
Daddy?
Daddy?
- He's breathing.
- Someone call a medical team.
Is it dead?
I told you.
You kill them from behind.
Daisy, stop crying.
She's scared, okay.
I want Mom.
We'll find her.
They're both dead.
Just shut up, okay.
That's enough.
- You don't even have your license.
- Um, look around you.
You think anyone's
going to pull us over?
The radio said to go inland
so that's where I'm going.
- There's a guy in that boat!
- I am not stopping, alright.
Look, he was moving.
- He needs our help.
- Sam, stop the car.
Unbelievable.
Hurry up, okay.
I think he's just knocked out!
I don't think it's
a coincidence that
this thing showed up
just before they did.
- You know, I think you're right.
- Brakish.
You should be in bed, babe.
Where.
Where did you get this?
That's uh.
That's from a ship
that we shot down.
We need to cut this open.
Director Levinson, proceed to
command center immediately.
Call us as soon as
you have anything.
Come on, people.
Move!
Baby, I'm so happy that you
want to dive back into work.
- Maybe we should get you some pants.
- Pants?
Oh.
Alright, go on!
Why didn't you tell me
my butt was hanging out?
We have infrared
of the alien ship, sir.
- Are those dots...
- That must be aliens.
What's that mass?
Enlarge the section, please.
That's what our prisoner alien
meant by...
"She is all."
Director Levinson, I have Cheyenne Mountain
and the remaining world leaders online.
- David, what can you tell us?
- Ma'am.
They are like a hive and I think
we've just found their queen.
Their... very big queen.
This is an infrared image
of their ship
and we think that's her,
Madam President.
- Right there in the middle.
- Christ almighty.
General Adams, we have a live feed
from our reconnaissance aircraft.
- Great. Put it up.
- Yes, sir.
David, is this one of their plasma drills
you briefed us about?
Yeah, I believe so.
The funnel is over
a mile in diameter, sir.
That's 20 times bigger
than the one in Africa.
I think they're after
our molten core.
Which means no magnetic fields.
Our atmosphere evaporate basically
the end of life on this planet.
Oh, so you are saying
we're already finished.
Not necessarily.
Back in '96,
the drilling in Africa stops when
we blew up their mother ship.
There must be a queen up
there that we didn't know about.
Assuming this hive theory holds true.
General, if we could blow up this
queen, maybe it could work again.
Alright then. I'm authorizing
an immediate retaliatory strike.
Let's do it.
- Scramble the fighters.
- Right away.
- Go get them.
- Attention. All pilots report to
mission briefing in T minus 10.
I repeat. All pilots report to
mission briefing in T minus 10.
Hey.
Come find me after
the briefing, okay?
Suit up, boys.
I'm so sorry, Dylan.
I was right there, man.
I couldn't save her.
It's too late.
Look. I know I am
probably the last person
you want to hear
from right now.
But I've been where you are.
And I know how
deep it hurts.
She wouldn't want
you to give up now.
Come on, man,
you got to lead us.
See you up there, Lieutenant.
Good afternoon.
This red mass on
top of the ship,
that's your target.
We're gonna send a fleet of
drones to go ahead of you
and disable their shields.
You mission,
is to fly cover
for the bombers who will be
armed with cold-fusion warheads.
Now, the blast should
penetrate the hull
and kill that alien queen.
Captain Hiller will brief
you on the flight plan.
We'll all try to converge
at the same time.
But whoever gets to the target first,
will deliver the payload.
We have to expect
that they're going to
come at us with
everything they got.
So protect the bombers
at all cost.
We all lost someone
that we loved.
So let's do it for them.
Alpha strike launch in 1 minute.
Jake.
I'm coming back.
I promise.
Make them pay.
I'm not going out there
to make friends, right?
I looked at the houses.
The one on Harrison Street,
with the stone walkway.
If it's still there.
Okay.
It's getting real.
It's getting real, real.
Alright, form up.
On me.
It's the 4th of July.
So show them some fireworks.
I want you to give me
one of your katana blades
and teach me everything you know.
Fine.
You know what?
I'll figure something out.
What are you idiots doing?
The world's going to an end.
- Even worse, we lost the gold.
- Mm-hm.
So we thought
we drink a little!
US government is on the line.
They say the aliens are
drilling to the Earth's core
and they are looking for a ship in
the area to monitor their progress.
We're the only ones left.
Tell them we'll do it,
for a hundred million dollars.
Look at this guy.
Weee.
Yeah, hold on a second.
He's drunk.
They say it's a deal.
Come on.
I know.
I got it. I got it.
Look, Sam.
They are going off road.
Maybe we should do the same.
Dear god!
Ouch. Ouch.
- What the hell happened here?
- We rescued you.
Oh, thank you.
Is this really you?
Well, of course it's me.
Who else would it be?
- What's your son like?
- Can you get us his autograph?
How often do you see him?
These days we only see each other
at Thanksgiving but unfortunately...
unless he had to cancel.
What about you?
Where are your parents?
Um.
Visiting our grandparents in Florida.
Oh, I see.
Where should we go, Mr. Levinson?
I think the safest place for
all of us to be right now
is by my David.
Since you're the leading
expert in this condition,
I really want you to see this.
How can his connection
be so strong?
During the first attack,
he was exposed
to their collective mind.
It was completely unfiltered.
- I need to ask him about this.
- I already have.
He doesn't even
remember drawing them.
Okay.
Let's try this baby on for size.
You know, I helped bring
that thing back from space.
- Is there anything I can do?
- Yeah.
Back off.
Yeah.
Of course.
Command, we have visual.
Roger, Captain Hiller.
Continue approach.
Mission is a go.
Bay 18, sir.
Why did you put it
all the way up there?
Give me that.
Get the ladder down there, come on.
You couldn't leave it
on the bottom shelf?
Here we go.
Alright.
I'm coming for you, baby.
There she is.
What is it?
An alien laser?
Nope.
That's the Okun laser.
- Why aren't they attacking us?
- Becareful what you wished for.
There's the queen ship.
Bombers, prepare to drop!
You just had to jinx us!
Bank right!
Bank right!
Evade!
Evade!
God!
Evade!
Evade!
It's too hot, sir!
Squad, pull out!
Bank right.
Maintain defensive posture.
Get down!
Down! Down!
Protect the bombers.
Dive! Dive!
Command, the queen ship
is too heavily defended.
We have to regroup
and find a new approach.
We have incoming!
- Damn, they're fast!
- Jesus, look at their fire power.
Keep all your bombers close!
There's too many of them!
Break left.
Bank right!
Oh yeah, I got you now.
I got you.
I got you.
Wow!
I can't shake him.
Son of a bitch!
Uh, come on.
Help me out here.
I got you.
Dylan, that's me, 12 o'clock.
Come on.
Come on.
Bank left!
God!
- You can thank me later.
- I'll thank you right now.
We just lost bomber 9
and bomber 13, sir.
Command, we can't get
to the top of the ship.
It's to heavily armed.
We're dropping like flies out here.
Come on!
I think we need
to fly inside.
- No, that's suicide. Sir.
- Damn it.
Morrison's right.
This is our only shot!
Do it.
We'll detonate the bombs
from the command center
and we'll give you enough time
to get the hell out of there.
Copy that.
Jake, follow my lead.
I'm on your wing.
All bombers, we're going in.
They didn't follow us.
Let's form up on the leads.
Charlie, look at those fields down there.
They have their own ecosystem.
Dad. Dad.
Hey, it's me.
You have to warn them.
She knows that they are coming.
We got eyes on the target, tally-ho.
That's what we came here for.
All bombers, open bomb bay doors.
Get them out of there.
It's a trap.
Come on, no!
Command, I have engine failure!
We have engine failure!
Attempt to restart!
We're going down!
We're going down!
I can't restart.
Come on!
We lost all power.
Command, you have to trigger the bomb!
It's the only way!
- Don't let us die for nothing!
- Do it!
Madam President, requesting authorization.
Permission granted.
Detonation sequence initiated.
Tell... Patty...
I... love... her...
I love you too.
In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Command, it's a negative impact!
The blasts are contained
by an energy shield!
Repeat...
The blasts... contained... by an energy shield...
We lost the signal, sir.
Wait.
Something's happening.
SYSTEM OFFLINE
She baited us.
Tanner, we have to
have a status report.
We're trying.
Our satellites are down.
We're completely blind.
Madam President!
There will be no peace.
Careful!
You'll agitate the crystals.
I built it back in '94.
Had to shelf it though after
the meltdown in Sector 3.
- Here. Put it over here.
- Brakish, you're overexerting yourself.
What is that thing doing here?
Alright. Be a good boy,
go stand over there.
Wait a second.
What meltdown?
Are we sure this thing
is safe to use?
Highly unlikely.
Clear!
What's the status of the fleet?
Only 7% made it back to base, sir.
- 7%!
- Yes, sir.
General.
Cheyenne Mountain is gone.
All members of the presidential
line up succession are presumed dead.
They're here to swear you in, sir.
Attention to orders!
Please repeat after me.
- I, Joshua T. Adams.
- I, Joshua T. Adams.
- Do solemnly swear.
- Do solemnly swear.
I'm so sorry.
You are right.
We're not going to
beat them this time.
God, look at the line.
It's like a thousand cars.
We're never going to get gas.
Have a little faith.
You want to talk about faith?
My parents are probably
dead right now.
And most of my friends...
She's upset because her boyfriend,
Kyle, is for sure a goner.
What's a goner?
- Someone who is dead.
- Felix.
Why don't you pull over here.
Let me drive and
you take a little break.
Okay.
David, you should be
in the command center.
President Whitmore,
thank god you're okay.
It's been a while.
I had 20 years
to get us ready.
And we never had a chance.
We didn't last time, either.
We always knew they
were coming back.
But look how far we've come.
In the last 20 years,
this planet has been unified in a way
that's unprecedented in human history.
That's sacred.
That's worth fighting for.
We convinced an entire generation
that this is a battle we could win.
And they believed us.
We can't let them down.
It wasn't luck last time.
It was our resolve.
We all have to fight
till our last breath.
And that is going to
lead us to victory.
You understand some of their language.
I like you to tell me if
any of these writings
mean anything to you.
So okay,
how about this one.
This talks about an
intergalactic war.
This concerns the whole universe.
What about this one?
Something about an enemy.
That needs to be destroyed
before it gets to us.
Wait.
I had a case study in Brazil,
where my patient didn't
describe the circle as sphere.
He refereed to it
as "enemy".
Of course.
Their enemy is our ally.
Uh.
Your laser's smoking.
Oh oh.
Get it out of here.
Tell them to try and
pull it open.
Hello, gorgeous.
Time to find out what
secrets you're hiding.
Alright, let's go get everyone.
Bring them here.
Yes, sir.
Watch your back!
Scopio!
Go in front of the guy.
They are coming out!
Jake, get out of the way!
Guys.
You really need to see this.
I've run every possible scan.
It's not giving off any kind of signal.
I mean nothing.
It's like it doesn't even exist.
It looks like
it's trying to hide itself.
- It's really smooth.
- Hey. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
You're not wearing gloves,
you'll contaminate it!
Remove your hands, Floyd.
That's weird.
- I can't.
- What do you mean you can't, Rosenberg?
Okay.
I'm trapped.
Somebody do something,
it's swallowing me.
Just stay calm and don't panic.
This thing is trying to eat me,
your advice is not to panic?
ENEMY DETECTED
ENEMY DETECTED
It looks like they're mobilizing.
David, please tell me this isn't
some kind of a Trojan horse.
I don't think it's a danger to us,
but it must be to them.
He turned it on
just by touching it.
I activated myself when I
detected your biological signature
to be different from theirs.
It speaks, ha,
in English.
I deconstructed your primitive language.
- We're-We're primitive?
- Correct.
My species shared our biological existence
for a virtual one thousands of years ago.
Far out.
Why are you here?
When I intercepted
their distress call,
I knew they would come
to exterminate you.
I came to evacuate as
many of you as possible.
But you attacked me with the
same weapons that they used on us.
- They attacked you?
- Correct.
A harvester ship conquered our planet
and extracted it's molten core.
They used them to refuel their
ships and grow their technology.
They've done this
to countless civilizations.
We fought them for
thousands of years.
But they destroyed
all of our ships.
I, am the sole survivor.
I am so sorry to hear that.
Do you have a plan?
My system holds the key
to superior technology.
And there is a hidden planet
where I teach refugees
from other fallen worlds how to
build weapons that will defeat them
- once and for all.
- That's why they're afraid of you.
You're the only ones who
threaten their existence.
Correct.
But now that I'm activated,
the queen will detect my signature
and hunt me down.
It's too late.
She's already on her way.
Yeah.
She's coming.
And what would happen if...
if we're able to kill her.
No one has ever killed
a harvester queen.
That's encouraging.
But as a hive,
her fighters will fall
and her ship will leave your planet,
recalled by other harvester queens.
But it's too late now.
You must terminate me or
she will get the coordinates
to the refugee planet.
And that will be the end.
Wait-Wait a second.
Wait a second.
If we are so sure that she's
coming here to get you.
Maybe.
We can bait her...
like she baited us.
Mr. President, Dr. Okun
thinks that we can
- replicate the sphere's RF radiation signal.
- David, English please.
Every computer has a radioactive signature,
whether it's your laptop,
you phone, even your watch.
But the sphere has a RFR
that's completely off the charts.
So, if we hide the real sphere
inside the isolation chamber,
and pack this decoy transmitter
so to speak, onto a Tug
filled with cold-fusion bombs
and lure her out to the salt flats.
We can fly right up her
royal ass and bon voyage!
You set off cold-fusion bombs,
you're gonna kill everyone
from here to Houston.
Not if we use the shield generators
from this base to contain the blast.
Without our shields, you better put
a blaster in every able-bodied hand.
- And get them ready
to shoot some aliens.
- Yes, sir.
Now, we just need a way to...
see her coming.
Follow me.
- Do your thing.
- My thing.
My thing.
My thing.
- Take it off!
- Copy, sir.
Watch it.
This old radar truck was suppose
to go to the Smithsonian.
- They never picked it up.
- It's a good thing they didn't.
Yeah, drive it to the highest point.
The higher the better.
Yes, sir.
Look what I found
in the hold.
We should be able to
communicate with this.
Let's hook up the antenna.
What was that?
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
The drill is cracking the outer mantle.
But...
that shouldn't happen for another...
We were wrong.
We do not have 7 hours
until the Earth core breach.
We only have... one.
Call it in.
Area 51. Area 51.
Do you copy?
So the idea is to
get her to follow this tug
into the salt flats using the
decoy transmitter on board.
And once she's taken the bait,
our cold-fusion bombs
can go to town to hail Mary.
It can work.
There's a catch.
As you know, they took out
all of our satellites, which means...
that somebody is going to
have to fly in manually.
And I know that I'm asking
for the ultimate sacrifice.
I know that.
But you, you're the only
pilots we have left.
And I need a volunteer.
Let's get it done.
I'll fly it in.
No, you won't.
I'll do it.
Mr. President.
Dad, what are you doing?
Patty, there're a lot of reasons
I'm the best choice for this.
You all have to pick up
the pieces once it's over.
This is my part.
Matthew.
Do not let him
get on that Tug.
Do you understand me?
Get the hell off the road!
If you go any slower,
we'll be going backwards.
Don't be a schmuck,
we have to conserve gas.
Area 51 is still
75 miles away.
- We're running on fumes.
- What do we have here?
- Who's in charge here?
- No one.
Our driver left us
to take a ride to Minnesota.
Just like that.
He just left?
He wanted to go have
sex with his girlfriend.
YES!
All aboard!
Wait. Wait wait wait.
What about our-our car?
We'll get you a new one
when you get your license.
On the bus, everybody!
Tell the General
we're up and running.
Bring it in!
Spin it around.
Alright.
Plug it in.
Radar is operational, sir.
Son of a bitch.
Alright, they're coming in fast.
David, we got a real
firestorm coming our way
and not a lot of
time to prepare.
Give me numbers, Mr. President.
9 minutes to the
queen ship's arrival.
Roughly 22 minutes before the
drill reaches our molten core.
Jesus Christ.
Take your positions.
We don't have a second to lose!
Are we going to make it, sir?
You bet your ass we will.
Alright.
Here we go, men.
- Get up on that barricade.
- Let's go.
- Get your weapons.
- Prepare to shoot on command.
This thing is way cooler
than the machete.
Sorry!
Sorry, everyone. That was my bad.
I'm going to see
if it's clear.
Jake!
Ha.
- Hell of a time to scare a guy.
- Sorry.
God, it's great.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you too.
- I didn't think you'd made it.
- Why not?
Uh, you know.
You haven't flown a fighter in a while,
so I figure...
You're alive, that's what counts.
Enough with the reunion.
They're going to hear us.
- More of us made it.
- You're still talking loud.
So what now?
Go in guns blazing?
Hey, what are you doing?
You guys, get to those fighters
and don't leave me hanging.
Wait!
Excuse me!
Down here
There you go.
Listen, I usually don't hold a grudge.
But... you killed my parents.
So... Well, I'm going to make
an exception for you guys.
Charlie, Rain.
You two take the first fighter.
I've been holding
that one for a while.
- Their technology hasn't change at all.
- Get the weapons ready.
Woo.
New interface.
Shit!
Jake's in trouble!
Let's go!
Getting a little low there, Rain.
Nice.
Oh no, you don't.
- Should have kept running.
- Get your ass out of there!
Take this.
- Hey, thanks for that.
- Yeah.
- Get up there where you belong.
- What, you don't want to fly?
Hell no.
I want to shoot.
All pilots, go to channel 6
on your radios.
Anytime, gentlemen.
You guys, go ahead.
We'll cover the rear.
They're closing doors.
They're closing doors.
Jake, where are you?
We're on our way.
Rain, how long have we got?
20 seconds, max.
No, Rain.
Stop, bank left.
- We have to go.
- No.
We're not leaving anyone else behind.
No one else dies today.
- You with me?
- I'm with you.
- It's getting dicey up here.
- Rain, just get out of here!
Respectfully, sir.
No way in hell.
Ah!
Come on!
Hey, man.
I just want you to know.
If we don't make
it out of here,
I'm really sorry for almost
killing you in training.
Well, if we don't make it out of here,
I just want you to know.
I'm not sorry at all about
punching you in the face.
Yeah.
Way to go, Charlie!
- Woo!
- Ha ha!
Alright, we're clear.
You lead, we follow.
Faster, Rain.
Faster!
Hang on to your seat, buddy!
Jake, did you make it?
Rain.
Did you see him
come out of there?
I'm not sure.
Jake.
- Did you miss me?
- Oh!
You can't do that to me.
You can't.
I told you you'd get
lonely without me.
All right, aviators.
Let's turn and burn.
Clock's ticking,
we got to get out of here.
Standby for a broadcast from
the United States government.
I understand that many people
around the world are tuning into
this channel on their
shortwave radios.
To you out there
and here at home.
Make no mistake,
this is humanity's last stand.
What we do in the
next 12 minutes
will either define the
human race or finish it.
To those of you listening:
No matter your nationality,
color, or creed,
I ask that all of
you pray for us.
No matter our differences,
we are all one people.
Whatever happens,
succeed or fail,
we will face it together,
standing as one.
Decoy mission launch,
T minus 60 seconds.
Patricia!
Patricia.
- What is it?
- It's your dad, he collapsed.
Come with me quick.
Mission is fueled, loaded
and ready for launch.
- Where is he?
- He asked me, as a friend, as a father.
Dad!
Decoy convoy.
Hold in ready position.
It says here, you got
to fly on Air Force One.
You meet the President?
My dad says your son
never went to space
and it's just a conspiracy.
Oh yeah?
You father's a butt.
Wait.
Do you-Do you hear that?
- Oh. That kid making fun of me?
- No. That sound.
Kids, hold on to your seats!
They're inbound.
10 seconds till contact.
They're going to target
the cannon first.
We won't get too many shots off
so you just make them count.
On my command!
Fire!
I have to take this fighter.
We're still priming the fusion drive.
It's only 32%.
That's more than enough.
Give me the harness.
General, we're up and running.
Alright, Tom.
You're ready to go.
Activate the decoy transmitter
on my mark.
3. 2. 1.
Isolation chamber activated.
Convoy is a go.
Give them cover fire, now.
Now, Tom.
Now.
It's working.
She's following the decoy.
Wait!
What are you doing?
It doesn't matter, we're isolated.
I'm going to turn it back on.
- Why would you do that?
- To see what else this thing knows.
Excuse me.
Just have a few questions,
if you don't mind.
Sir, there's a school bus
heading directly towards for the trap.
No no no...
David, the queen ship
will be there in 2 minutes.
Who is that?
No. No. No.
There's a tall gangly man
waving us down over there.
- Hey, look.
- Tall, gangly?
That's my David.
Just who is this blind idiot?
Yeah! Yes! Yes!
Thank you.
Dad?
This is going to catapult our
civilization by thousands of years.
Our understanding of physics, wormholes,
everything everything everything.
- Babe, calm down, calm down.
- I don't want to calm down!
Ah, David!
What?
We have to wait for the end of the
world for us to get together.
Come, David.
Give me a kiss already.
You're alive.
I'm-I'm-I'm busy right now.
You'll be happy to know
I made some acquaintances.
They came to see you.
I'm a little busy right now, Dad.
- You and I. We're going to have to talk.
- I said not now.
- Look. Look. Light.
- Yeah, I see.
Tom, it looks like
the plan is working.
She thinks you've
got the sphere.
- She's going after you.
- You got to get these kids to cover. Go. Go.
It's good to see
you flying again.
You place is in the air.
You should have
let me do this.
You saved the world
once before, Dad.
I'm not saving the world, Patty.
I'm saving you.
Tom, what's going on?
She's in my head.
Mr. President, you got
incoming fighters on your six.
Can you get me to the target,
Lieutenant Whitmore?
Yes, sir.
Follow me.
Come on.
Go now.
Now. Now.
Activate the shield.
Shield engaged.
Lieutenant Whitmore, clear the blast zone.
Surprise to see me?
Do it.
Push the button, Tom.
Do it, Tom.
SHIELD IMPAC DETECTED
That's right.
We got you.
On behalf of the planet Earth,
happy 4th of July!
Ooh.
Do we have confirmation, David?
I think it's safe to say,
Mr. President.
That, we got her.
- Yay!
- Yay!
Whoa!
Wait, if she's dead,
why are her fighters still attacking us?
- Command, we have a breach.
- How many do you think?
About 2 dozen, sir.
Under no circumstances
do they see the sphere.
You do whatever it takes!
Do you copy?
Copy that.
- This is Sam, my navigator.
- Um.
You're a lot taller
than I imagined.
This is her sister, Daisy.
Bobby.
Um, sir.
Is that suppose to happen?
- Oh my god.
- Not good.
Oh my god.
She has her own shield.
- What is that?
- Okay, back on the bus, kids!
Back on the bus.
Here we go.
Ginger!
Come on, Ginger!
No, no, no.
We're getting out.
Come on, girl.
Come on, let's go.
We all have to wait for the dog.
I guess so.
Okay.
Go, go, go.
Oh my god!
All remaining pilots, target the queen.
Unload everything you got.
Did you hear that?
We need backup down here now!
We got a serious breach
in cell block 5.
We got aliens on the loose.
We need backup now!
HEY!
Where are you going?
Where did she go?
Charlie.
The thing just leaped into the air!
- What did he just say?
- Something about jumping.
Whoa.
Whoa.
We are within 6 minutes, sir.
Watch out!
David, 6 minutes to
Earth's core breach.
- General Adams, her shield is down!
- Yes!
I repeat.
Her shield is down.
Great job, Lieutenant.
I got you, baby.
We're going to
get you out of this.
Aim for her gun, Charlie.
Aim for her gun.
This is Captain Hiller.
We hijacked a couple of alien fighters.
- Yeah!
- Yes!
Do not shoot at us.
We're the ones trailing smoke.
Roger that, Captain Hiller.
- Yes!
- Come on, get her.
Shoot her down!
Whitmore destroyed the queen ship
and his daughter knocked out her shield.
Now listen up.
They're going for our molten core.
You've got 4 minutes
to destroy the queen.
So give her hell.
Copy that, no pressure.
We're really running
into an alien prison!
This is the one!
- Open up!
- We're here!
Ah!
She knows!
She's coming!
Dylan, what's happening?
I don't know.
My controls just stopped responding.
- Same here.
- Charlie, do something.
I can't.
She must have taken
control over our systems.
I think we are
part of the hive now.
Looks like we're not
the only ones.
What the hell.
She's taking us straight to Area 51.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
Hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
- You're not going to follow her!
- Stay behind the yellow line, please Dad.
- There's no yellow line.
- Imagine one.
Yeah! Take that!
Yeah! Yeah!
See.
I told you
I'll figure it out.
You talk too much.
Baby, we're saved
They got me.
Oh no.
Don't worry.
I'm going to get you to sick bay.
I'm afraid I'm not
able to make.
Wait a minute.
Wait. Wait.
You can't go.
Whose gonna...
Whose gonna water your orchids?
Whose gonna make sure you put
your pants on when I'm gone?
Baby, you're right.
I got something
I got to tell you.
What?
This... was supposed to be a sweater.
Oh no, no, no.
No.
No.
What the hell is she doing?
That's close enough, David.
That's close enough.
It's like they are
trying to protect her.
More are coming.
- Give me that thing!
- Take that.
2 minutes, sir.
2 minutes until core breach.
Captain Hiller, you got 2 minutes.
2 minutes.
- We got to get of this tornado.
- Every tornado has an eye, right?
I think if we want to get a shot
at her, we got to get up there.
How are we going to do that?
We don't have any
manual controls left.
Well, don't these things have
fusion drive or something?
Are you kidding me?
That thing is make for outer space!
- Down here we'll burn up!
- You got a better idea, Charlie?
From where I'm sitting, it looks
like it's our only damn chance!
- Our only chance to die.
- Charlie, shut up!
Rain, on the thrusters.
- You're all crazy!
- One.
Two.
Three.
Ah, still alive.
Still alive.
- You alright?
- Woo, man.
- I got the controls back.
- And our weapons are working.
Yeah, but our engines are fried.
Alright. Well, it's got to be
a controlled dive then.
There she is.
Everybody, we got 1 shot at this.
Let's make it count.
Thanks for always
looking out for me, Jake.
You got it, buddy.
It's over.
It's over.
- You got them all.
- Okay.
Except that one.
Oh my god.
She's got it.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Get ready for a
close encounter, bitch!
Charlie, go for her back!
Right where the tentacles are.
That's her weak spot.
- Keep shooting, Charlie!
- What do you think I'm doing?
Shit!
Charlie, this thing got ejection seats?
Negative!
Look out!
Okay, that's getting too close.
David!
David, let's get out of here.
Back off.
Go back!
We're alive.
We're rich.
Oh my god.
Yes.
General Adams, the Earth's core
is secure.
- Yay!
- Yay!
Whoa. Hey.
Whoa.
She's dead, my god.
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Baby, put the gun down.
Jake?
Jake.
We're not even married yet, and
you're already trying to shoot me?
Maybe we should try that.
You know.
Dinner first.
Director Levinson,
well done.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Catherine.
Um.
Don't say anything.
You'll just ruin it.
Who are you?
David never mention a
beautiful woman in his life.
Dad.
I'm Julius.
I'm his father.
Enchant.
I'm Catherine Marceaux.
- Can you give us a second?
- I was never here.
Uh, listen.
Maybe you guys should
stay with me for a while.
I think I would
really like that.
Yes, so would I.
- Are you okay?
- I am. Thanks to you.
This wasn't all for nothing.
- You are a remarkable species.
- Not so primitive after all, uh.
Hey.
You think they'll let me keep this?
You have the heart of a warrior.
That's the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me
Hell of a job.
We are rich!
We are rich!
Woo!
It was worth it!
We are rich!
We are rich!
I don't know if this planet
can survive another attack.
No, no.
Excuse me.
Director Levinson, you won't believe
that the weapons and the technology
this thing has on it's-
on it's proverbial hard drive.
It wants us to lead
their resistance.
- What do you mean?
- Two words.
Interstellar travel.
Take the fight to them.
When do we leave?
We are going to kick
some serious alien ass.
that today is the 4th of July.
You will once again
be fighting for our freedom.
Not from tyranny,
oppression or persecution.
But from annihilation.
We're fighting for
our right to live.
We're fighting for
our right to live.
INDEPENDENCE DAY
RESURGENCE
but as the day when
the world declared in one voice.
"We will not go
quietly into the night!"
"We will not vanish
without a fight!"
"We're going to live on!
We're going to survive."
Today, we celebrate our Independence...
MORRRISTOWN
VIRGINIA
The countless lives that
we lost in the war of '96
did not perish in vain.
They inspired us to rise from the
ashes as one people of one world.
For 20 years the world has
seen no arm conflict.
Nations have put their
petty differences aside.
United, we rebuild our families,
our cities and our lives.
The fusion of human and alien technology
not only enable us to defy gravity
and travel with unimaginable speed.
It also made our planet
finally safe again.
- Great speech, Patty.
- Thank you, Madam President.
One moment.
We're ready for you, sir.
Captain Hiller.
- Welcome to the White House.
- It's great to be back.
I cannot tell you how proud we are
to have you flying our flag out there.
- It's an honor, Madam President.
- Your father was a great man.
He'd be so proud.
I think you know the
Secretary of Defense.
- Sir.
- Nice to see you again, son.
And that one,
I don't have to introduce you to.
You're moving up in the world.
Say's America's knight
in shining armor.
Now you're the one
bagging the White House.
As an employee, I don't quite get
the same benefits as when I lived here.
- Captain.
- Yeah.
- We're ready for you.
- Thank you.
Dylan.
Be nice to Jake when
you see him up there.
Moon Tug-10, confirm position.
7 miles and closing.
The slowest trip of my life.
Hey, cheer up.
There're worse things you could be doing
than towing a half trillion dollar of weapon.
Yeah.
Well, I need a little more stimulation.
Hey, you know.
I'd never follow you up here.
Yeah, you did.
You get lonely without me.
I was the youngest valedictorian
in the history of the academy.
I could have been
stationed anywhere.
Like San Diego, you know?
Beaches, surfing.
- You never surf a day in you life.
- But I'm a fast learner.
And I got great balance.
Like a cat.
Cats hate water, Charlie.
4% to first thrust.
Roger.
Tug-10 reversing thrust, 4%.
The Tugs and the weapon
are on final approach.
They are in position, sir.
Docking in
3. 2. 1.
Initiate uncoupling sequence.
All Tugs disengage.
Trust there are only 36 women
on this moon base.
I'm sure one of them will
eventually come around, pal.
You know, it's not like
they all rejected me.
I happen to have standards.
- Whoa. What did you do?
- Nothing.
That didn't sound
like nothing!
Tug-10 collided
with the weapon.
The clamps are stuck.
They are not responding, sir.
All Tugs, take evasive action.
Pull back!
Pull back!
- Charlie, it's going to crash the base.
- I said, PULL BACK!
Uh, that's a negative, sir.
- This isn't a fire, Jake.
- Don't remind me!
Lieutenant Miller,
what are you idiots doing?
I don't know, sir.
We're going to die!
This is how I die!
Sir, he's slowing the fall.
Go to your docking place.
I'm kicking into fusion drive!
Are you crazy?
We'll burn up.
Yeah, that's very possible!
Come on!
ENGINES OVERHEATING
YES!
Yes!
It's actually working!
I honestly didn't think
that was going to work.
Uh, shit.
Jiang's coming in hot.
And he's got that look.
This is our base.
He knows we don't
speak Chinese, right?
You almost destroyed us.
- That was a close call, sir.
- You almost got us all killed.
Ah, yeah.
But then I saved everyone.
You don't get credit for
cleaning up you own mess.
And you destroyed
one of our Tugs.
Uh, actually, sir.
If anybody's to blame I...
Sir, I lost my focus.
It won't happen again.
No, it won't.
You're grounded until further notice.
Can I still watch TV or...
You didn't have
to take the fall?
Yeah, well.
He already hates me, why break tradition.
Transport 103, ARP1
General Adams, we're being
directed to Alien Prison platform 1.
SPACE DEFENSE HEADQUARTERS
AREA 51- NEVADA
- General.
- This better be good.
My wife and I were enjoying
a very nice morning
in a very expensive
bed and breakfast.
Sorry, sir.
I thought you should see this.
Sir.
It started a couple
of hours ago.
Look how their behaviour changed.
After 20 years,
they are being catatonic.
Get me director Levinson.
We tried.
He's unreachable, sir.
U.N. RESEARCH MISSION
CENTRAL AFRICA
You need to take me seriously.
I've been chasing you across
the planet for 3 weeks now.
But, now that I have you.
Excuse me.
Who are you again?
Floyd Rosenberg,
government appointed controller.
Please be advised.
Entering hostile territories,
we should slow down.
We don't want to look like
we are posing a threat.
Now, we are going to
start with appendix 2.
I know a lot of people have a
negative reaction to being audited.
- But I actually find that it's a
very constructive experience.
- Lloyd. Lloyd. Lloyd.
- It's Floyd.
- We have to meet a friend right now.
A great guy.
Come say hi.
Where are we?
Director Levinson.
Director Levinson.
Who are those men?
- It's Umbutu's rebel forces.
- The Warlord?
I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
His old man just died.
And I hear that the son
is much more of a moderate.
But... uh.
Hey, fellas.
Howdy doody.
Say, uh.
I'm looking for Dikembe Umbutu.
I see you found their armory.
The one and only David Levinson.
Catherine.
Wow.
Wh.. um. What are you-
What are you doing here?
You don't think you're the
only expert he called, do you?
Um. I'm so surprise to see you.
A little bit.
I'm a little surprise that
you remember my name.
Hey, hey.
Come on.
Let's be...
Let's be professional.
Well. We both remembered
what happened the last time
we tried to be professional.
I'm sensing a affable tension here.
We've bumped into each other
in a few conferences.
I bet you have.
Shut up, Floyd.
Director Levinson, I'm sorry,
we're not done with our business here.
Where are your papers?
- What papers?
- Uh, it looks like this.
So why does Umbutu junior
need a psychiatrist.
Unresolved daddy issues?
These people fought a grand war
with the aliens for 10 years.
Their connection is the
strongest I've ever seen.
It's as if their mind is tapped
into the aliens subconscious.
Yeah. Your obsession with the
'human-alien psychic residual condition'.
You, calling me obsessive.
That's cute.
How did they get the lights on?
We didn't.
It happened on it's own,
2 days ago.
Of course you're aware that this
is the only ship that landed in '96.
And so I appreciate you finally granting
us this access, Mr. Umbutu.
Your father was... very tenacious.
His pride caused the death of
more than half of my people.
- Including my brother.
- I'm so sorry.
- Becareful!
- Whoa!
Wow.
What happened here?
They were drilling.
For what?
Man, I don't know.
When did the drilling stop?
When you blew up the mother ship.
And uh. Right now for us,
anyway to get up there?
You're not afraid of heights,
are you?
Oh yes, I do.
Oh my god.
That's the same pattern.
So the signal was
coming from this ship.
20 years ago, when we
destroyed the mother ship,
we detected a burst in
an X-band frequency
directed towards deep space.
Oh.
The distress call.
Looks like someone picked up
the phone and answered.
I'm going crazy up here,
I can't take it anymore.
Tell me how much
you miss me.
Actually the chief of staff just
got a really handsome intern.
Not quite as tall as you,
but has great dimples,
and plays a cello.
- You know how much I miss you.
- You know what?
I'm going to steal a Tug and
come back to see you right now.
No, please don't.
Because the last time you did that,
they added a month
to your tour.
Come on. Tell me that wasn't
the best 2 minutes of your life.
Yes.
Yes.
But I would like my fiance
back permanently.
What was that?
We've been getting these power
surges for the last couple of days.
You take a look at the
houses I send you?
No, I haven't yet.
I just um...
It's okay.
There's no rush.
I saw Dylan at the
White House today.
I just think you two need
to have a conversation.
So he's shaking hands with the president
and I'm stuck on the moon.
Ha ha.
It must be nice.
You nearly killed him, remember.
Give him a little credit, Jake.
P?
CONNECTION LOS QQ
Thank you for using QQ.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Please welcome the
International Legacy Squadron.
Captain Hiller
Considering he died during a test flight,
how do you feel taking off for the moon
from a hanger named
after your father.
He would have love it.
It's too bad he's
not here to see it.
Captain Lao, China has been integral
to the Earth Space Defense program,
is there anything you want to
say to the folks back home?
To be on the same team that
represents the unity of the world...
I didn't want to text you,
I wanted to hear your voice.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
My boy, making a name for himself.
Are you going
to be okay, Mom?
Just tell me you'll
be careful up there.
Moon Base, this is Legacy Squadron.
We're on the final approach,
requesting permission to land.
Permission granted.
Welcome to the moon, Captain.
Just keep it cool.
Just don't hit him.
It's easy.
- Lieutenant Lao.
- Lieutenant, over here
Rain.
Rain.
Do I get an autograph too?
Back to work.
Uncle Jiang!
You look more and more
like your mother.
Every girl would like to hear that.
Mengniu moon milk.
I have been looking
all over for you.
- I've got good news.
- Yeah.
The pilot the China sent
is my future wife
and I mean it.
I think my heart exploded.
It's like our souls
were communi...
He just walked in, didn't he?
Yeah, he did.
Okay.
You're not gonna finish this?
You mind moving?
We both know what happens
when you get in my way.
I've waited a long
time to do that.
Morrison.
What's going on here?
I asked you a QUESTION.
Yes. Uh.
Sir, the floor is very slippery.
Becareful if I were you.
Great to see you, Dylan.
I was so close to
punching him back.
I think you made
the right choice.
You did almost kill him, but...
that's why they have ejection seats.
No, I went too far.
It's the only way I thought
I could... stand out.
It was never going to be you
leading that squadron.
That's not the way
the world works.
You know he's royalty.
Bridges to office.
You know the last thing
I said to my parents was
I hated them.
The only reason I'm still alive
is they dropped me off
at that stupid camp.
Well, I'm glad they did.
Because you're the
only family I got.
Alright, final training time.
Winner leads the Legacy Squadron.
Why don't you just
give up, Morrison?
Second place would just
have to be good enough.
Yeah.
We'll see about that, Captain Hiller.
Passing on the Left!
Hey, there's not enough room!
Damn it, Jake.
You're going to clip my wing.
Control, I'm going down.
Ejecting!
Ejecting!
Dr. O'Brian, please report
to the surgical theater.
Good morning, Brakish.
How are we today?
I brought you a new one.
Dactylorhiza maculata, or
the spotted orchid.
And when it fully blooms,
the lavender...
is going to take
your breath away.
Can you believe it?
You've been in a coma
for 7300 days.
I made you a gift.
I took a knitting class.
Is it itchy?
You tell me if it was itchy,
I'll...
Ah!
Okay.
You're awake.
Did...
Did we win?
Anne!
Bring in the medical team, he's awake!
Where's-Where's my glasses?
I can't see.
They're right here.
They're right here.
How long was I out?
A long time, baby.
A long time.
Yeah, I can see that.
Babe.
You got a bit fat.
And really bald.
You still look great.
This just came in from Hubble.
There's some kind of force
pulling in Saturn's rings.
Holy Christ.
What about our defense base there?
It's gone.
It's not just the base, it's like
the whole moon just vanished.
- Up the alert level to red.
- Right away.
Hey, honey.
Listen, I want you to
pack up your stuff
and go to your
sister's right now.
Well, but this symbol comes out more
often than anything I've encountered.
Look.
Look at the similarities.
How can you not
see the relevance.
No, it's not that
I don't see it.
I just feel that right now
there are more pressing matters
than analyzing doodles.
You know, like a giant
space ship turning back on.
- Sir.
- Yeah.
- We lost all contact with Saturn.
- What?
- We need to notify the President.
- Already tried.
Tanner said he'll get back
to us after the press talk.
Bypass Tanner, hurry.
And you talk to Lanford now.
- Right. Right. Right.
- Thank you.
Uh, at least your father
spared the elephants.
Good for him.
Look.
The Roswell crash, in '47.
The farmer who made contact
drew the same circle.
And everytime I interviewed one of
my patients and showed them this.
- They all expressed the same emotion.
- Mm-Hm.
Fear.
And I don't think
it's a circle.
The night the ship turned on.
I experienced the strongest
vision I've ever had.
And I drew this.
LIFE AFTER CONTACT.
COLLECTED CASE STUDIES.
ALIEN MIND
That's incredible.
How did you decipher
so much of their language?
They were hunting us.
We have to learn
how to hunt them.
You... beautiful.
- That means you're beautiful.
- Oh. Thanks, man.
Not you.
I mean...
You have to remove
the sub-sonic inlets
before you can reconfigure the
thermalize plasma cartridges.
That's great. Why don't you put
that thing down and help me?
Okay. Try to have a good
grasp of today's situation.
There she is.
Ah.
- It's happening.
- God damn it.
The chemical reaction,
the pheromones.
All the blood of my body
is rushing to my head.
Your head, huh.
- I'm going to go introduce myself.
- Yeah, no problem.
God.
SHIT!
So.
You must the pilot China sent.
- Did the giant flag give it away?
- There's that.
In fact, I heard you speaking
Chinese earlier anyway
I was wondering if you
want to get a drink,
maybe fall in love.
- Aren't you a little young for that?
- I'm 23 and I have.
All personnel, report to
your stations immediately.
Arm the primary.
- Get me the Security Council.
- Yes, sir.
On screen.
- Sir.
- Yeah.
This just came in.
It was a spaceship.
Madam President, the heads
of state are coming online.
David, are you seeing this?
Yes, Madam President.
I'm looking right at it.
They could be initiating an attack.
We need to strike first.
Uh, hold on.
Hang on a second.
To my eye,
the design and technology
of this ship
is nothing like the ones
that attacked us.
I'm telling you
this is not them.
- And what if you're wrong?
- If you're wrong,
we could be starting a war
with a whole new species.
At this point, we know the
Saturn base has been destroyed.
Madam President, this could very
well be a coordinated attack.
- Get the cannon into firing position.
- Yes, sir.
We should be cautious
and listen to Director Levinson.
How does the rest
of the Council feel?
Let's hold off until
we know more.
We have to be decisive.
I vote to attack.
I also vote to strike.
Madam President,
I need an answer.
Take them out, Commander.
We are locked on.
I think this is a mistake.
Let's take another moment...
Fire!
Get me an image.
It crashed into
Van de Graaff crater.
We are not picking up
any signs of life.
Let's hope to god
we did the right thing.
Madam President, we need to send
a team up to investigate the wreckage.
We need to know who
we just shot down.
There's no sign of life and
the threat has been neutralized.
We can send a team up,
but David needs to be in DC.
No, oh.
Can we not make this political.
I need to get up there
and get answers.
David, you can lead a team up there,
but after the celebration.
You heard the President.
I'll expect to see you next to us
tomorrow wearing your best smile.
You want to see
my best smile?
CONNECTION TERMINATED.
Did he just
hang up on me?
Sure sounded that way to me, sir.
Where are you going?
Jake.
I really think you should
think this through.
Okay, everyone get out!
I'm taking off.
Wait wait wait...
Our Tug's not gonna fly.
That's why we're taking Mike's Tug.
Oh, Jiang is not
going to like this.
At approximately 2100 hours,
Earth Space Defense program
repelled an alien attack
targeting our planet.
It wasn't them.
- You can't know that for sure.
- It wasn't them.
- I have to tell the world.
- Sir, it's time for your meds.
I have to talk to the
Joint chiefs of Staff!
Matthew, can you just
give us a second, please.
You shouldn't be wasting your
time with a crazy old man.
You gave up flying
to take care of me
and I know how
much you loved it.
You should be with Jake.
He's on the moon, remember?
And then you should be
with the President.
I am with the President.
They are coming back.
And this time we won't
be able to stop them.
I will avenge you, brother.
Hey, wait wait wait.
I need a receipt!
So how do you
know this guy?
Oh.
He's Patricia Whitmore's fiance.
Thank you so much.
- Good job, Collins.
- Sir.
Someone called a cab?
- Thanks for doing this, Jake.
- No problem.
Let's get moving though
'cause I kinda stole this thing.
- I'm coming with you.
- Uh, you know.
This is an ESD operation.
Strictly off limits to
all civilians and warlords.
I let you in.
It would be wise for you
to return the favor.
There he goes.
Where's he going?
- Oh, I'm coming too.
- Catherine.
Look, something is
drawing him out there
and I'm going to
find out what.
Excuse me.
Uh, Director Levinson.
Where the heck do you
think you are going?
Why don't you join us, Floyd?
Everyone else is.
- Might do you some good.
- No. No no no.
You're not getting on that thing
and neither am I.
Okay, we're going to stay here.
And we're gonna...
Hi.
I've never been in a Space Tug before,
is there anything I should know?
There's a lot you should know.
Seat belt.
Obviously.
David, why don't you take a seat.
- Re-Really? In the...
- What's the matter? You nervous?
Uh.
You know, it's not my favourite.
Oh, don't worry.
I haven't crash in...
... a couple of days.
But that was intentional.
What?
Okay, here we go.
God.
I forgot how much I hate this.
- Bye!
- Bye.
That wasn't so bad.
I haven't kicked on
the fusion drive yet.
Huh?
And in our darkest moment,
when all hope was lost.
I said, "Never give up."
"You have to have faith."
And in that moment,
it came to me.
Pow!
Like a thunderbolt.
And that's when I came up with
the idea that saved the world.
Yeah.
Uh, sir?
- Huh?
- Ah, there he is.
Welcome back.
This book is a bargain!
It makes a great gift
for your grandchildren.
If you're lucky enough
to have any.
Are you ready to go, Mr. Trest.
Don't rush.
Dad, you awake?
I thought we could watch
the celebration on TV together.
Matthew!
What was that?
We're flying through the
old mother ship's debris field.
Don't worry.
These are basically space tanks.
Space tanks, huh.
Coming up to the
Van de Graaff crater.
There it is.
That's the crash site.
Today, we are honored to be
in the presence of some of the
brave men and women, who
defied insurmountable odds
and lead us to victory of our
alien invaders 2 decades ago.
General Grey and his
beautiful wife, Audrey.
We thank you for your
unwavering leadership.
Jackson.
Where the hell is Levinson?
So what are we looking for?
Well, I'm hoping
we'll know when we see it.
Is there a way of seeing
what they are seeing?
You can even talk to them.
Nice tattoos.
That's how many aliens
you killed, right?
So.
How did you do it?
You have to get
them from behind.
Catherine.
I think I just found
another one of your doodles.
Charlie.
Tell commander to prep
the lab at Area 51.
How's it looking out there,
Captain Hiller?
It's truly humbling to see how beautiful
Earth is from here, Madam President.
On this day, in 1996,
President Whitmore passionately declared,
"We will not go
quietly into the night!"
and we did not.
It's President Whitmore!
What a surprise.
Ladies and gentlemen,
another great war hero.
The one and only,
President Thomas Whitmore.
Please say a few words!
Today...
... I'm not going to.
I... came to warn you.
Dad?
Dad.
Help me.
That is definitely...
bigger than the last one.
Shit.
Hey, Charlie.
I think you better
come and get us.
The sooner the better.
- AS IN RIGHT NOW!
- I'm already on it.
Everybody strap in!
It's going to get bumpy!
Charlie, where the hell are you?
Flying through my worst nightmare.
David!
Grab my hand!
Come on!
Reach!
We're in, close the ram!
This just came in from
one of our lunar satellites.
The ship is more than
3,000 miles in diameter.
How the hell
did we miss this?
Activate all our defense systems
and shut down the celebration.
Attention. Attention.
We have an emergency situation.
Let's go, move.
Get her out of here.
Please leave the premises
in a calm and orderly fashion.
I repeat.
Please leave the premises
in a calm and orderly fashion.
- We got to move!
- Not without that piece.
Yeah, I thought you
were going to say that.
Charlie, get on the arms.
Talk to me, Charlie.
What's happening?
- Damn it.
- What do you mean, damn it?
I'm trying my best.
Stop fighting, just grab it!
Got it!
Go. Go!
There's a flying mountain
coming right for us.
Hold on!
Oh shit.
I'm losing speed.
Jesus, it has it's own gravity.
- What does that mean?
- It means we're going for a ride.
You mean we're stuck
under this thing?
Arm the primary.
We're powered up
and locked on.
Fire!
Negative impact.
Negative impact.
Permission to engage.
Negative. Negative.
All fighters clear the blast zone.
Arm the primary
and fire again!
Above us.
Something is happening.
Sir.
Evacuate, EVERYONE!
Go.
Go!
Uncle Jiang, hurry!
Rain, watch out!
All fighters, fall back.
Fall back!
Copy.
It's projected to enter
Earth's atmosphere in 22 minutes.
If it doesn't alter
it current velocity,
it's going to crack
the planet in half.
We're not going to let
that happen, Tanner.
- Initiate the Orbital Defense System.
- Yes, ma'am.
General Adams, we are primed
and ready to fire.
Initiate simultaneous count down.
Roger, command.
Syncing now.
Starting count down.
10. 9. 8.
Here we go again.
5. 4. 3. 2.
General, the Asian Pacific Defense System
went off line before they could fire.
Yes, sir.
Copy that!
Jake's alive!
He radioed us from the moon!
He's with Director Levinson!
They're on their way to Area 51!
That Hercules right there
is on standby.
President Lanford just rolled in,
make a hole.
Madam President, can you take
my father to Cheyenne Mountain?
- Yes, of course.
- I'm going with you, Patty.
Dad.
You're going to need me.
- Wish us luck.
- Ma'am, we have to go.
Director Levinson.
I'm going to talk
to my supervisor
to make sure you get all
the money you need!
What are those green lights?
I need you all to help us.
Quickly! Quickly!
Help!
Help!
Let's go!
Hey!
Where are you going?
The ship will touch down
over the Atlantic.
- Which part?
- All of it, ma'am.
Issue evacuation order
for every coastline.
I don't think there's time.
So what's the plan?
We have less than 20 minutes to
get every patient out of here.
- Move.
- Yes, ma'am.
We still have two in surgery.
- Get them to post-op
as fast as you can.
- Absolutely.
Help, please.
I got you, honey.
I'm not going to leave you.
What goes up,
must come down.
We're free.
Don't worry, we're
in a controlled dive!
- Falling. It's called falling.
- No, controlled dive.
Nice.
Nice.
Jesus.
They like to get the landmarks.
Are we dead?
We're okay.
You peed in your pants?
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, me too.
SALVAGE EXPEDITION
MID ATLANTIC RIDGE
We can access the
trench through here.
- Are you sure?
- Mm-hm, a 100%.
This, right here.
That's the best way in.
Yeah, we got it.
Captain, they are ordering
all ships out of the area.
That's a 100 million dollars
worth of gold on that ship.
They think we're going to leave it,
they're out of their minds.
Captain.
You better come and see this.
To all aircraft within
the sound of my voice,
we expect the devastation to the
east coast to be beyond imagination.
The rally point for all remaining
aircraft is Area 51.
Rain, you take the lead.
I'll meet you there.
I got to see about someone.
Good luck.
- You okay?
- My mother lives in London.
Maybe she made it out.
Yeah.
Maybe.
- Dad, where are you?
- On my boat, where else.
David, this one is definitely
bigger than the last one.
You can see it?
Uh, listen to me.
You have to get to shore
as fast as you can.
Dad!
David.
David?
Oh, sweet Moses.
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
- We're going to die!
- No. No.
Look at me. Look at me.
We are not going to die.
Marine 3, clear.
I got bodies on the hospital roof
that need immediate evac!
I got you.
I got you.
Yes!
Yes.
Come on, let's go.
Hand him the baby.
It's okay.
Okay.
Please becareful.
You're going to be alright.
He's got her.
Get on board.
Get on board.
We got to go right now!
Good girl.
MOM!
Pull her up!
Pull her up!
No!
No, mom!
Nooooo!
Whoa. Whoa.
Oh my!
Why did I buy this boat?
Whoa.
Whoa.
Glad to have you back, Mr. President.
It's been far too long.
Thank you.
- Is David Levinson here?
- Not yet.
Morrison's tug is still
10 minutes out.
Have them meet us
at the prison.
We need to interrogate one.
What the...
It's gotten worse.
Much worse.
Mr. President?
Dr. Okun.
- You're awake.
- Very much so.
Why are they screaming?
No.
No, no, no.
They-They...
They're not screaming.
They're celebrating.
General, one of the prison cells
is docking with the chamber.
Where's my dad?
- I... I think he went in there.
- Get the weapons!
Let's go!
Let's go!
We have alien guns?
OVERRIDE SYSTEM
CHAMBER LOCK
Isolation chamber activated.
How did he get in here?
Dad, it's too dangerous.
- Someone get him out of there.
- He overrode the system.
Sir, please unlock the door!
Don't you worry about me.
Just get as many
answers as you can.
No.
Don't!
Whitmore locked himself in.
Can you hear us?
She has arrived.
Who is she?
She... is all.
What does she want?
What does this mean?
What does this symbol mean?
Why are you afraid of it?
- It's killing him!
- That's enough!
Move!
Kill it now!
Dad?
Daddy?
Daddy?
- He's breathing.
- Someone call a medical team.
Is it dead?
I told you.
You kill them from behind.
Daisy, stop crying.
She's scared, okay.
I want Mom.
We'll find her.
They're both dead.
Just shut up, okay.
That's enough.
- You don't even have your license.
- Um, look around you.
You think anyone's
going to pull us over?
The radio said to go inland
so that's where I'm going.
- There's a guy in that boat!
- I am not stopping, alright.
Look, he was moving.
- He needs our help.
- Sam, stop the car.
Unbelievable.
Hurry up, okay.
I think he's just knocked out!
I don't think it's
a coincidence that
this thing showed up
just before they did.
- You know, I think you're right.
- Brakish.
You should be in bed, babe.
Where.
Where did you get this?
That's uh.
That's from a ship
that we shot down.
We need to cut this open.
Director Levinson, proceed to
command center immediately.
Call us as soon as
you have anything.
Come on, people.
Move!
Baby, I'm so happy that you
want to dive back into work.
- Maybe we should get you some pants.
- Pants?
Oh.
Alright, go on!
Why didn't you tell me
my butt was hanging out?
We have infrared
of the alien ship, sir.
- Are those dots...
- That must be aliens.
What's that mass?
Enlarge the section, please.
That's what our prisoner alien
meant by...
"She is all."
Director Levinson, I have Cheyenne Mountain
and the remaining world leaders online.
- David, what can you tell us?
- Ma'am.
They are like a hive and I think
we've just found their queen.
Their... very big queen.
This is an infrared image
of their ship
and we think that's her,
Madam President.
- Right there in the middle.
- Christ almighty.
General Adams, we have a live feed
from our reconnaissance aircraft.
- Great. Put it up.
- Yes, sir.
David, is this one of their plasma drills
you briefed us about?
Yeah, I believe so.
The funnel is over
a mile in diameter, sir.
That's 20 times bigger
than the one in Africa.
I think they're after
our molten core.
Which means no magnetic fields.
Our atmosphere evaporate basically
the end of life on this planet.
Oh, so you are saying
we're already finished.
Not necessarily.
Back in '96,
the drilling in Africa stops when
we blew up their mother ship.
There must be a queen up
there that we didn't know about.
Assuming this hive theory holds true.
General, if we could blow up this
queen, maybe it could work again.
Alright then. I'm authorizing
an immediate retaliatory strike.
Let's do it.
- Scramble the fighters.
- Right away.
- Go get them.
- Attention. All pilots report to
mission briefing in T minus 10.
I repeat. All pilots report to
mission briefing in T minus 10.
Hey.
Come find me after
the briefing, okay?
Suit up, boys.
I'm so sorry, Dylan.
I was right there, man.
I couldn't save her.
It's too late.
Look. I know I am
probably the last person
you want to hear
from right now.
But I've been where you are.
And I know how
deep it hurts.
She wouldn't want
you to give up now.
Come on, man,
you got to lead us.
See you up there, Lieutenant.
Good afternoon.
This red mass on
top of the ship,
that's your target.
We're gonna send a fleet of
drones to go ahead of you
and disable their shields.
You mission,
is to fly cover
for the bombers who will be
armed with cold-fusion warheads.
Now, the blast should
penetrate the hull
and kill that alien queen.
Captain Hiller will brief
you on the flight plan.
We'll all try to converge
at the same time.
But whoever gets to the target first,
will deliver the payload.
We have to expect
that they're going to
come at us with
everything they got.
So protect the bombers
at all cost.
We all lost someone
that we loved.
So let's do it for them.
Alpha strike launch in 1 minute.
Jake.
I'm coming back.
I promise.
Make them pay.
I'm not going out there
to make friends, right?
I looked at the houses.
The one on Harrison Street,
with the stone walkway.
If it's still there.
Okay.
It's getting real.
It's getting real, real.
Alright, form up.
On me.
It's the 4th of July.
So show them some fireworks.
I want you to give me
one of your katana blades
and teach me everything you know.
Fine.
You know what?
I'll figure something out.
What are you idiots doing?
The world's going to an end.
- Even worse, we lost the gold.
- Mm-hm.
So we thought
we drink a little!
US government is on the line.
They say the aliens are
drilling to the Earth's core
and they are looking for a ship in
the area to monitor their progress.
We're the only ones left.
Tell them we'll do it,
for a hundred million dollars.
Look at this guy.
Weee.
Yeah, hold on a second.
He's drunk.
They say it's a deal.
Come on.
I know.
I got it. I got it.
Look, Sam.
They are going off road.
Maybe we should do the same.
Dear god!
Ouch. Ouch.
- What the hell happened here?
- We rescued you.
Oh, thank you.
Is this really you?
Well, of course it's me.
Who else would it be?
- What's your son like?
- Can you get us his autograph?
How often do you see him?
These days we only see each other
at Thanksgiving but unfortunately...
unless he had to cancel.
What about you?
Where are your parents?
Um.
Visiting our grandparents in Florida.
Oh, I see.
Where should we go, Mr. Levinson?
I think the safest place for
all of us to be right now
is by my David.
Since you're the leading
expert in this condition,
I really want you to see this.
How can his connection
be so strong?
During the first attack,
he was exposed
to their collective mind.
It was completely unfiltered.
- I need to ask him about this.
- I already have.
He doesn't even
remember drawing them.
Okay.
Let's try this baby on for size.
You know, I helped bring
that thing back from space.
- Is there anything I can do?
- Yeah.
Back off.
Yeah.
Of course.
Command, we have visual.
Roger, Captain Hiller.
Continue approach.
Mission is a go.
Bay 18, sir.
Why did you put it
all the way up there?
Give me that.
Get the ladder down there, come on.
You couldn't leave it
on the bottom shelf?
Here we go.
Alright.
I'm coming for you, baby.
There she is.
What is it?
An alien laser?
Nope.
That's the Okun laser.
- Why aren't they attacking us?
- Becareful what you wished for.
There's the queen ship.
Bombers, prepare to drop!
You just had to jinx us!
Bank right!
Bank right!
Evade!
Evade!
God!
Evade!
Evade!
It's too hot, sir!
Squad, pull out!
Bank right.
Maintain defensive posture.
Get down!
Down! Down!
Protect the bombers.
Dive! Dive!
Command, the queen ship
is too heavily defended.
We have to regroup
and find a new approach.
We have incoming!
- Damn, they're fast!
- Jesus, look at their fire power.
Keep all your bombers close!
There's too many of them!
Break left.
Bank right!
Oh yeah, I got you now.
I got you.
I got you.
Wow!
I can't shake him.
Son of a bitch!
Uh, come on.
Help me out here.
I got you.
Dylan, that's me, 12 o'clock.
Come on.
Come on.
Bank left!
God!
- You can thank me later.
- I'll thank you right now.
We just lost bomber 9
and bomber 13, sir.
Command, we can't get
to the top of the ship.
It's to heavily armed.
We're dropping like flies out here.
Come on!
I think we need
to fly inside.
- No, that's suicide. Sir.
- Damn it.
Morrison's right.
This is our only shot!
Do it.
We'll detonate the bombs
from the command center
and we'll give you enough time
to get the hell out of there.
Copy that.
Jake, follow my lead.
I'm on your wing.
All bombers, we're going in.
They didn't follow us.
Let's form up on the leads.
Charlie, look at those fields down there.
They have their own ecosystem.
Dad. Dad.
Hey, it's me.
You have to warn them.
She knows that they are coming.
We got eyes on the target, tally-ho.
That's what we came here for.
All bombers, open bomb bay doors.
Get them out of there.
It's a trap.
Come on, no!
Command, I have engine failure!
We have engine failure!
Attempt to restart!
We're going down!
We're going down!
I can't restart.
Come on!
We lost all power.
Command, you have to trigger the bomb!
It's the only way!
- Don't let us die for nothing!
- Do it!
Madam President, requesting authorization.
Permission granted.
Detonation sequence initiated.
Tell... Patty...
I... love... her...
I love you too.
In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Command, it's a negative impact!
The blasts are contained
by an energy shield!
Repeat...
The blasts... contained... by an energy shield...
We lost the signal, sir.
Wait.
Something's happening.
SYSTEM OFFLINE
She baited us.
Tanner, we have to
have a status report.
We're trying.
Our satellites are down.
We're completely blind.
Madam President!
There will be no peace.
Careful!
You'll agitate the crystals.
I built it back in '94.
Had to shelf it though after
the meltdown in Sector 3.
- Here. Put it over here.
- Brakish, you're overexerting yourself.
What is that thing doing here?
Alright. Be a good boy,
go stand over there.
Wait a second.
What meltdown?
Are we sure this thing
is safe to use?
Highly unlikely.
Clear!
What's the status of the fleet?
Only 7% made it back to base, sir.
- 7%!
- Yes, sir.
General.
Cheyenne Mountain is gone.
All members of the presidential
line up succession are presumed dead.
They're here to swear you in, sir.
Attention to orders!
Please repeat after me.
- I, Joshua T. Adams.
- I, Joshua T. Adams.
- Do solemnly swear.
- Do solemnly swear.
I'm so sorry.
You are right.
We're not going to
beat them this time.
God, look at the line.
It's like a thousand cars.
We're never going to get gas.
Have a little faith.
You want to talk about faith?
My parents are probably
dead right now.
And most of my friends...
She's upset because her boyfriend,
Kyle, is for sure a goner.
What's a goner?
- Someone who is dead.
- Felix.
Why don't you pull over here.
Let me drive and
you take a little break.
Okay.
David, you should be
in the command center.
President Whitmore,
thank god you're okay.
It's been a while.
I had 20 years
to get us ready.
And we never had a chance.
We didn't last time, either.
We always knew they
were coming back.
But look how far we've come.
In the last 20 years,
this planet has been unified in a way
that's unprecedented in human history.
That's sacred.
That's worth fighting for.
We convinced an entire generation
that this is a battle we could win.
And they believed us.
We can't let them down.
It wasn't luck last time.
It was our resolve.
We all have to fight
till our last breath.
And that is going to
lead us to victory.
You understand some of their language.
I like you to tell me if
any of these writings
mean anything to you.
So okay,
how about this one.
This talks about an
intergalactic war.
This concerns the whole universe.
What about this one?
Something about an enemy.
That needs to be destroyed
before it gets to us.
Wait.
I had a case study in Brazil,
where my patient didn't
describe the circle as sphere.
He refereed to it
as "enemy".
Of course.
Their enemy is our ally.
Uh.
Your laser's smoking.
Oh oh.
Get it out of here.
Tell them to try and
pull it open.
Hello, gorgeous.
Time to find out what
secrets you're hiding.
Alright, let's go get everyone.
Bring them here.
Yes, sir.
Watch your back!
Scopio!
Go in front of the guy.
They are coming out!
Jake, get out of the way!
Guys.
You really need to see this.
I've run every possible scan.
It's not giving off any kind of signal.
I mean nothing.
It's like it doesn't even exist.
It looks like
it's trying to hide itself.
- It's really smooth.
- Hey. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
You're not wearing gloves,
you'll contaminate it!
Remove your hands, Floyd.
That's weird.
- I can't.
- What do you mean you can't, Rosenberg?
Okay.
I'm trapped.
Somebody do something,
it's swallowing me.
Just stay calm and don't panic.
This thing is trying to eat me,
your advice is not to panic?
ENEMY DETECTED
ENEMY DETECTED
It looks like they're mobilizing.
David, please tell me this isn't
some kind of a Trojan horse.
I don't think it's a danger to us,
but it must be to them.
He turned it on
just by touching it.
I activated myself when I
detected your biological signature
to be different from theirs.
It speaks, ha,
in English.
I deconstructed your primitive language.
- We're-We're primitive?
- Correct.
My species shared our biological existence
for a virtual one thousands of years ago.
Far out.
Why are you here?
When I intercepted
their distress call,
I knew they would come
to exterminate you.
I came to evacuate as
many of you as possible.
But you attacked me with the
same weapons that they used on us.
- They attacked you?
- Correct.
A harvester ship conquered our planet
and extracted it's molten core.
They used them to refuel their
ships and grow their technology.
They've done this
to countless civilizations.
We fought them for
thousands of years.
But they destroyed
all of our ships.
I, am the sole survivor.
I am so sorry to hear that.
Do you have a plan?
My system holds the key
to superior technology.
And there is a hidden planet
where I teach refugees
from other fallen worlds how to
build weapons that will defeat them
- once and for all.
- That's why they're afraid of you.
You're the only ones who
threaten their existence.
Correct.
But now that I'm activated,
the queen will detect my signature
and hunt me down.
It's too late.
She's already on her way.
Yeah.
She's coming.
And what would happen if...
if we're able to kill her.
No one has ever killed
a harvester queen.
That's encouraging.
But as a hive,
her fighters will fall
and her ship will leave your planet,
recalled by other harvester queens.
But it's too late now.
You must terminate me or
she will get the coordinates
to the refugee planet.
And that will be the end.
Wait-Wait a second.
Wait a second.
If we are so sure that she's
coming here to get you.
Maybe.
We can bait her...
like she baited us.
Mr. President, Dr. Okun
thinks that we can
- replicate the sphere's RF radiation signal.
- David, English please.
Every computer has a radioactive signature,
whether it's your laptop,
you phone, even your watch.
But the sphere has a RFR
that's completely off the charts.
So, if we hide the real sphere
inside the isolation chamber,
and pack this decoy transmitter
so to speak, onto a Tug
filled with cold-fusion bombs
and lure her out to the salt flats.
We can fly right up her
royal ass and bon voyage!
You set off cold-fusion bombs,
you're gonna kill everyone
from here to Houston.
Not if we use the shield generators
from this base to contain the blast.
Without our shields, you better put
a blaster in every able-bodied hand.
- And get them ready
to shoot some aliens.
- Yes, sir.
Now, we just need a way to...
see her coming.
Follow me.
- Do your thing.
- My thing.
My thing.
My thing.
- Take it off!
- Copy, sir.
Watch it.
This old radar truck was suppose
to go to the Smithsonian.
- They never picked it up.
- It's a good thing they didn't.
Yeah, drive it to the highest point.
The higher the better.
Yes, sir.
Look what I found
in the hold.
We should be able to
communicate with this.
Let's hook up the antenna.
What was that?
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
The drill is cracking the outer mantle.
But...
that shouldn't happen for another...
We were wrong.
We do not have 7 hours
until the Earth core breach.
We only have... one.
Call it in.
Area 51. Area 51.
Do you copy?
So the idea is to
get her to follow this tug
into the salt flats using the
decoy transmitter on board.
And once she's taken the bait,
our cold-fusion bombs
can go to town to hail Mary.
It can work.
There's a catch.
As you know, they took out
all of our satellites, which means...
that somebody is going to
have to fly in manually.
And I know that I'm asking
for the ultimate sacrifice.
I know that.
But you, you're the only
pilots we have left.
And I need a volunteer.
Let's get it done.
I'll fly it in.
No, you won't.
I'll do it.
Mr. President.
Dad, what are you doing?
Patty, there're a lot of reasons
I'm the best choice for this.
You all have to pick up
the pieces once it's over.
This is my part.
Matthew.
Do not let him
get on that Tug.
Do you understand me?
Get the hell off the road!
If you go any slower,
we'll be going backwards.
Don't be a schmuck,
we have to conserve gas.
Area 51 is still
75 miles away.
- We're running on fumes.
- What do we have here?
- Who's in charge here?
- No one.
Our driver left us
to take a ride to Minnesota.
Just like that.
He just left?
He wanted to go have
sex with his girlfriend.
YES!
All aboard!
Wait. Wait wait wait.
What about our-our car?
We'll get you a new one
when you get your license.
On the bus, everybody!
Tell the General
we're up and running.
Bring it in!
Spin it around.
Alright.
Plug it in.
Radar is operational, sir.
Son of a bitch.
Alright, they're coming in fast.
David, we got a real
firestorm coming our way
and not a lot of
time to prepare.
Give me numbers, Mr. President.
9 minutes to the
queen ship's arrival.
Roughly 22 minutes before the
drill reaches our molten core.
Jesus Christ.
Take your positions.
We don't have a second to lose!
Are we going to make it, sir?
You bet your ass we will.
Alright.
Here we go, men.
- Get up on that barricade.
- Let's go.
- Get your weapons.
- Prepare to shoot on command.
This thing is way cooler
than the machete.
Sorry!
Sorry, everyone. That was my bad.
I'm going to see
if it's clear.
Jake!
Ha.
- Hell of a time to scare a guy.
- Sorry.
God, it's great.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you too.
- I didn't think you'd made it.
- Why not?
Uh, you know.
You haven't flown a fighter in a while,
so I figure...
You're alive, that's what counts.
Enough with the reunion.
They're going to hear us.
- More of us made it.
- You're still talking loud.
So what now?
Go in guns blazing?
Hey, what are you doing?
You guys, get to those fighters
and don't leave me hanging.
Wait!
Excuse me!
Down here
There you go.
Listen, I usually don't hold a grudge.
But... you killed my parents.
So... Well, I'm going to make
an exception for you guys.
Charlie, Rain.
You two take the first fighter.
I've been holding
that one for a while.
- Their technology hasn't change at all.
- Get the weapons ready.
Woo.
New interface.
Shit!
Jake's in trouble!
Let's go!
Getting a little low there, Rain.
Nice.
Oh no, you don't.
- Should have kept running.
- Get your ass out of there!
Take this.
- Hey, thanks for that.
- Yeah.
- Get up there where you belong.
- What, you don't want to fly?
Hell no.
I want to shoot.
All pilots, go to channel 6
on your radios.
Anytime, gentlemen.
You guys, go ahead.
We'll cover the rear.
They're closing doors.
They're closing doors.
Jake, where are you?
We're on our way.
Rain, how long have we got?
20 seconds, max.
No, Rain.
Stop, bank left.
- We have to go.
- No.
We're not leaving anyone else behind.
No one else dies today.
- You with me?
- I'm with you.
- It's getting dicey up here.
- Rain, just get out of here!
Respectfully, sir.
No way in hell.
Ah!
Come on!
Hey, man.
I just want you to know.
If we don't make
it out of here,
I'm really sorry for almost
killing you in training.
Well, if we don't make it out of here,
I just want you to know.
I'm not sorry at all about
punching you in the face.
Yeah.
Way to go, Charlie!
- Woo!
- Ha ha!
Alright, we're clear.
You lead, we follow.
Faster, Rain.
Faster!
Hang on to your seat, buddy!
Jake, did you make it?
Rain.
Did you see him
come out of there?
I'm not sure.
Jake.
- Did you miss me?
- Oh!
You can't do that to me.
You can't.
I told you you'd get
lonely without me.
All right, aviators.
Let's turn and burn.
Clock's ticking,
we got to get out of here.
Standby for a broadcast from
the United States government.
I understand that many people
around the world are tuning into
this channel on their
shortwave radios.
To you out there
and here at home.
Make no mistake,
this is humanity's last stand.
What we do in the
next 12 minutes
will either define the
human race or finish it.
To those of you listening:
No matter your nationality,
color, or creed,
I ask that all of
you pray for us.
No matter our differences,
we are all one people.
Whatever happens,
succeed or fail,
we will face it together,
standing as one.
Decoy mission launch,
T minus 60 seconds.
Patricia!
Patricia.
- What is it?
- It's your dad, he collapsed.
Come with me quick.
Mission is fueled, loaded
and ready for launch.
- Where is he?
- He asked me, as a friend, as a father.
Dad!
Decoy convoy.
Hold in ready position.
It says here, you got
to fly on Air Force One.
You meet the President?
My dad says your son
never went to space
and it's just a conspiracy.
Oh yeah?
You father's a butt.
Wait.
Do you-Do you hear that?
- Oh. That kid making fun of me?
- No. That sound.
Kids, hold on to your seats!
They're inbound.
10 seconds till contact.
They're going to target
the cannon first.
We won't get too many shots off
so you just make them count.
On my command!
Fire!
I have to take this fighter.
We're still priming the fusion drive.
It's only 32%.
That's more than enough.
Give me the harness.
General, we're up and running.
Alright, Tom.
You're ready to go.
Activate the decoy transmitter
on my mark.
3. 2. 1.
Isolation chamber activated.
Convoy is a go.
Give them cover fire, now.
Now, Tom.
Now.
It's working.
She's following the decoy.
Wait!
What are you doing?
It doesn't matter, we're isolated.
I'm going to turn it back on.
- Why would you do that?
- To see what else this thing knows.
Excuse me.
Just have a few questions,
if you don't mind.
Sir, there's a school bus
heading directly towards for the trap.
No no no...
David, the queen ship
will be there in 2 minutes.
Who is that?
No. No. No.
There's a tall gangly man
waving us down over there.
- Hey, look.
- Tall, gangly?
That's my David.
Just who is this blind idiot?
Yeah! Yes! Yes!
Thank you.
Dad?
This is going to catapult our
civilization by thousands of years.
Our understanding of physics, wormholes,
everything everything everything.
- Babe, calm down, calm down.
- I don't want to calm down!
Ah, David!
What?
We have to wait for the end of the
world for us to get together.
Come, David.
Give me a kiss already.
You're alive.
I'm-I'm-I'm busy right now.
You'll be happy to know
I made some acquaintances.
They came to see you.
I'm a little busy right now, Dad.
- You and I. We're going to have to talk.
- I said not now.
- Look. Look. Light.
- Yeah, I see.
Tom, it looks like
the plan is working.
She thinks you've
got the sphere.
- She's going after you.
- You got to get these kids to cover. Go. Go.
It's good to see
you flying again.
You place is in the air.
You should have
let me do this.
You saved the world
once before, Dad.
I'm not saving the world, Patty.
I'm saving you.
Tom, what's going on?
She's in my head.
Mr. President, you got
incoming fighters on your six.
Can you get me to the target,
Lieutenant Whitmore?
Yes, sir.
Follow me.
Come on.
Go now.
Now. Now.
Activate the shield.
Shield engaged.
Lieutenant Whitmore, clear the blast zone.
Surprise to see me?
Do it.
Push the button, Tom.
Do it, Tom.
SHIELD IMPAC DETECTED
That's right.
We got you.
On behalf of the planet Earth,
happy 4th of July!
Ooh.
Do we have confirmation, David?
I think it's safe to say,
Mr. President.
That, we got her.
- Yay!
- Yay!
Whoa!
Wait, if she's dead,
why are her fighters still attacking us?
- Command, we have a breach.
- How many do you think?
About 2 dozen, sir.
Under no circumstances
do they see the sphere.
You do whatever it takes!
Do you copy?
Copy that.
- This is Sam, my navigator.
- Um.
You're a lot taller
than I imagined.
This is her sister, Daisy.
Bobby.
Um, sir.
Is that suppose to happen?
- Oh my god.
- Not good.
Oh my god.
She has her own shield.
- What is that?
- Okay, back on the bus, kids!
Back on the bus.
Here we go.
Ginger!
Come on, Ginger!
No, no, no.
We're getting out.
Come on, girl.
Come on, let's go.
We all have to wait for the dog.
I guess so.
Okay.
Go, go, go.
Oh my god!
All remaining pilots, target the queen.
Unload everything you got.
Did you hear that?
We need backup down here now!
We got a serious breach
in cell block 5.
We got aliens on the loose.
We need backup now!
HEY!
Where are you going?
Where did she go?
Charlie.
The thing just leaped into the air!
- What did he just say?
- Something about jumping.
Whoa.
Whoa.
We are within 6 minutes, sir.
Watch out!
David, 6 minutes to
Earth's core breach.
- General Adams, her shield is down!
- Yes!
I repeat.
Her shield is down.
Great job, Lieutenant.
I got you, baby.
We're going to
get you out of this.
Aim for her gun, Charlie.
Aim for her gun.
This is Captain Hiller.
We hijacked a couple of alien fighters.
- Yeah!
- Yes!
Do not shoot at us.
We're the ones trailing smoke.
Roger that, Captain Hiller.
- Yes!
- Come on, get her.
Shoot her down!
Whitmore destroyed the queen ship
and his daughter knocked out her shield.
Now listen up.
They're going for our molten core.
You've got 4 minutes
to destroy the queen.
So give her hell.
Copy that, no pressure.
We're really running
into an alien prison!
This is the one!
- Open up!
- We're here!
Ah!
She knows!
She's coming!
Dylan, what's happening?
I don't know.
My controls just stopped responding.
- Same here.
- Charlie, do something.
I can't.
She must have taken
control over our systems.
I think we are
part of the hive now.
Looks like we're not
the only ones.
What the hell.
She's taking us straight to Area 51.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
Hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
- You're not going to follow her!
- Stay behind the yellow line, please Dad.
- There's no yellow line.
- Imagine one.
Yeah! Take that!
Yeah! Yeah!
See.
I told you
I'll figure it out.
You talk too much.
Baby, we're saved
They got me.
Oh no.
Don't worry.
I'm going to get you to sick bay.
I'm afraid I'm not
able to make.
Wait a minute.
Wait. Wait.
You can't go.
Whose gonna...
Whose gonna water your orchids?
Whose gonna make sure you put
your pants on when I'm gone?
Baby, you're right.
I got something
I got to tell you.
What?
This... was supposed to be a sweater.
Oh no, no, no.
No.
No.
What the hell is she doing?
That's close enough, David.
That's close enough.
It's like they are
trying to protect her.
More are coming.
- Give me that thing!
- Take that.
2 minutes, sir.
2 minutes until core breach.
Captain Hiller, you got 2 minutes.
2 minutes.
- We got to get of this tornado.
- Every tornado has an eye, right?
I think if we want to get a shot
at her, we got to get up there.
How are we going to do that?
We don't have any
manual controls left.
Well, don't these things have
fusion drive or something?
Are you kidding me?
That thing is make for outer space!
- Down here we'll burn up!
- You got a better idea, Charlie?
From where I'm sitting, it looks
like it's our only damn chance!
- Our only chance to die.
- Charlie, shut up!
Rain, on the thrusters.
- You're all crazy!
- One.
Two.
Three.
Ah, still alive.
Still alive.
- You alright?
- Woo, man.
- I got the controls back.
- And our weapons are working.
Yeah, but our engines are fried.
Alright. Well, it's got to be
a controlled dive then.
There she is.
Everybody, we got 1 shot at this.
Let's make it count.
Thanks for always
looking out for me, Jake.
You got it, buddy.
It's over.
It's over.
- You got them all.
- Okay.
Except that one.
Oh my god.
She's got it.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Get ready for a
close encounter, bitch!
Charlie, go for her back!
Right where the tentacles are.
That's her weak spot.
- Keep shooting, Charlie!
- What do you think I'm doing?
Shit!
Charlie, this thing got ejection seats?
Negative!
Look out!
Okay, that's getting too close.
David!
David, let's get out of here.
Back off.
Go back!
We're alive.
We're rich.
Oh my god.
Yes.
General Adams, the Earth's core
is secure.
- Yay!
- Yay!
Whoa. Hey.
Whoa.
She's dead, my god.
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Baby, put the gun down.
Jake?
Jake.
We're not even married yet, and
you're already trying to shoot me?
Maybe we should try that.
You know.
Dinner first.
Director Levinson,
well done.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Catherine.
Um.
Don't say anything.
You'll just ruin it.
Who are you?
David never mention a
beautiful woman in his life.
Dad.
I'm Julius.
I'm his father.
Enchant.
I'm Catherine Marceaux.
- Can you give us a second?
- I was never here.
Uh, listen.
Maybe you guys should
stay with me for a while.
I think I would
really like that.
Yes, so would I.
- Are you okay?
- I am. Thanks to you.
This wasn't all for nothing.
- You are a remarkable species.
- Not so primitive after all, uh.
Hey.
You think they'll let me keep this?
You have the heart of a warrior.
That's the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me
Hell of a job.
We are rich!
We are rich!
Woo!
It was worth it!
We are rich!
We are rich!
I don't know if this planet
can survive another attack.
No, no.
Excuse me.
Director Levinson, you won't believe
that the weapons and the technology
this thing has on it's-
on it's proverbial hard drive.
It wants us to lead
their resistance.
- What do you mean?
- Two words.
Interstellar travel.
Take the fight to them.
When do we leave?
We are going to kick
some serious alien ass.
