It's just sound.
The Hoshi-12 was destroyed.

- He's thirsty.
- Yeah, he's thirsty.
We got a couple more hours.
Just tell him to hold up.
Tell him to wait.
[SPEAKS PASHTO.]
[PLASTIC CRACKLES.]
That was really dumb.
But he doesn't know that.
And he doesn't need to know it.
If I can help him, that is what I must do.
Yeah? Okay, so in an hour when he's thirsty, what are you gonna tell him? I will tell him we're almost there.
Hope is like, uh, water also.
[SIGHS.]
They have no idea what's going on, do they? They do.
Well, they seem pretty fucking relaxed, seeing that there's an alien invasion happening right now.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know, Sahar, she was born in 2010, two years into your surge of men and weapon.
Ali, my son, now he was born in 2013, two years after you killed bin Laden and when still you had 50,000 troops here.
They have known invasion their entire lives.
That is all they have known.
Well, this one's different.
I have heard that before.
- How old are yours? - What? How old are yours? I know what a father's eyes looks like.
This is why you're going home, yes? [IN JAPANESE.]
Ms.
Yamato! Welcome, let me acquaint you.
I'm Yoshi Fujimoto.
We've been feeding data to the Ministry of Defense and the Americans from our fixed position.
It's been pretty constant, mostly noise.
But global command wants all scopes aimed in concert, they haven't been telling us much, so Global command is not in charge.
I am.
Technician Kawaguchi.
Show him.
Yes.
Project supervisor.
Um [YOSHI.]
What is this? Get these connected on your local net with full permissions.
I thought I loved her more than anyone else ever could.
Fujimoto.
What you're hearing is immediately after impact.
Our moment of first contact, a signal.
The sound has been analyzed and turned into a spectral fingerprint.
You're going to find this signal with that dish out there.
Ma'am, it's a radio telescope.
It finds astral bodies, stars, not It finds electromagnetic radiation.
Patterns.
This is a pattern.
A message.
We're going to find whatever's broadcasting it.
And we're going to send a message back.
Send a message back, to Them.
isn't safe.
They're here.
You can stay with me.
- Home's here.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
Don't go.
It's safer in the countryside.
Wasn't safe for you.
[SIGHS.]
Luck to you all.
Thank you.
[ALFIE.]

This looks like where they came through.
[JAMILA.]
What happened here? [VEHICLE DEPARTING.]
[DARWIN.]
Holy shit, what happened here? [MONTY.]
Where is everyone? [ALFIE.]
What she said, innit? Aliens.
Wait.
My aunt's is that way.
Yeah, my house is this way too.
Oh.
Uh, maybe you could come.
You could call your mum and I can't.
Phones aren't working.
Yeah.
Yeah, my house is just past the station.
Same.
See you in school then.
Hey, tool.
Choke on it.
Is yours that way too? I'm not going home.
Whatever's there can't be worse than this.
You ain't seen my house then, mate.
I bet it's not that different from mine.
- Probably just - Bigger.
Yeah, it's bigger than yours.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Bit like my dick - [JAMILA.]
All right.
I'll [SIGHS.]
I'll catch up with them later.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
I'm sorry for everything.
It's okay, mate.
It's really not.
But, you know, end of the world and everything, so Till later.
Let's go.
[CASPAR.]
Yeah.
[JAMILA.]
Keep up then.
[GRUNTS.]
It says "pull.
" [AHMED.]
Thank you, boy.
Toys! [CLICKS.]
[PA SYSTEM: ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
- [PA SYSTEM: ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
- [MACHINE BEEPS.]
[MACHINE WHIRS.]
[LUKE.]
Hey, Sarah, come check this out.
[SIGHS.]
I almost got it.
[MEAT SIZZLING.]
So a stunt driver, a surgeon and a fry cook.
What don't you know how to do? Maybe there's a lot you don't know about me.
Uh Let me know how to help? Pass me the bread.
- [SARAH.]
Yay! I want this one.
- [LUKE CHATTERING.]
How come we never did this before? [CHUCKLES.]
What? - Break into an abandoned diner? - Yeah.
No.
Having fun as a family, all together, just easy.
We did.
You just weren't there for it.
I'm here now.
Don't let the fries burn.
[PA SYSTEM: ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
How am I supposed to eat this? Slowly.
Mom.
Can we say our gratefuls? [SARAH.]
Like to God? [LUKE.]
Like we do on Thanksgiving.
Sure.
Mm-hmm.
Give your hands.
Daddy? I'm thankful that Dad's okay that Mom saved us.
I'm thankful that we're still alive.
And we have food to eat and a place to sit.
You're taking all mine! It's beautiful.
[AHMED.]
Do you want to go, Sarah? Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
I'm thankful for milkshake.
He's my friend, all mine.
I'm thankful for milkshake too.
[AHMED.]
And me too.
- Everyone's stealing my grateful! - That's right.
- And now I'm stealing your fries.
- [GIGGLES.]
- [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Stop.
- [SARAH.]
I'll take all your fries.
- [LUKE.]
Too slow.
[WHIRS.]
[YOSHI, IN JAPANESE.]
So many frequencies [MITSUKI.]
Patterns.
But not the one from the Hoshi It's still searching? For the pattern from that transmission? Yes.
But But.
We won't find it.
We're searching low orbit which the telescope isn't designed to do.
That's noise.
Interference from satellites.
Satellites have been destroyed.
It's something else.
[YOSHI.]
Something big.
The Death Star.
The Death Star is 98% metal.
This is energy.
A lot of it.
[MITSUKI.]
Clustered frequencies, modulating.
It's a message.
I want to hear it.
These are radio waves.
If we turn it to sound waves, it'll just be hisses and clicks.
See, it's all over the frequency range.
Play it.
[SIGHS.]
Now.
[DISTORTED RADIO STATIC, RUSTLING.]
[RUSTLING INTENSIFIES.]
[TAKUYA.]
Like static.
It's just noise.
I hear it.
The pattern.
Like music.
[TAKUYA.]
Like a billion radios turned on at once.
A billion voices.
Separate beings.
But beating as one.
What if it isn't a broadcast? What if it's a network.
We're listening in, behind their firewall, like a supercomputer Controlling all nodes on its network.
A hive mind.
So.
We're looking for a "voice.
" In a "hive.
" Exactly.
Use signal filtering to subtract all other patterns the ML net's identified.
Reduce the background pattern noise.
And we find the voice from the Hoshi transmission.
[YOSHI.]
This is gonna take a while.
[MITSUKI.]
No one sleeps tonight.
Somewhere safe, sweetheart.
Go, go, go.
Go, go, go! [SOLDIER ON PA.]
Bravo one, you are clear to triage tent, north campus.
[RADIO CHATTER.]
It's a school.
Where's everyone? [SOLDIER.]
Non-emergencies, follow the yellow.
If you need real help, follow the red.
They'll guide you.
- Go right here.
- Thanks.
- [SARAH.]
Red is for emergencies.

That's right, sweetie.

We're pretty secure here.
We've got a lot of soldiers.
They got a lot of guns.
Hey there.
Are you all right? Yeah.
I'm Ahmed.
Pneumothorax.
I improvised.
It needs to be flushed, cleaned and sealed.
It wasn't sterile.
Course.
Do you want to Where do we wait? We barely got out of there.
Just two trucks, a couple Humvees and an ambulance.
I thought everyone else was gone for good when you left.
Sweetheart, you want me to carry you? [CHATTERING.]
This is where everyone's holed up, but I got you a private space for VIPs.
Luke! It's all yours.
I'll grab you some blankets and pillows if we have 'em, or something you can ball up.
You need food? You were on the road.
We had milkshakes.
- It's good to have you back, doc.
- Thank you.
They called you Dr.
Lockhart.
[ANEESHA.]
He's confused.
You saved Dad.
I did.
Come on.
So you are a doctor.
I was.
Almost.
But then you had me.
Did you want to be a doctor? I wanted you, both of you.
[SARAH.]
Mommy? Yes, sweetheart? What if the people go crazy? What do you mean? Like that lady in the house.
She went crazy, and I fell.
We're safe here.
But what if all the people go crazy? [SIGHS.]
We're all a little crazy.
We're not crazy.
We're normal.
We may not be crazy, but we're not normal either.
Nobody is.
Not anymore.
Are you scared? Aren't you? Yeah.
But I got you.
It's this way, yeah? You know something.
Something they don't know, right? Or you saw something before the crash, before everything.
In your drawings, all that.
You can tell me.
[SCOFFS.]
I won't tell anyone.
Why won't you tell me? My head, it's always been wrong ever since I was born.
Epilepsy and Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but but now it's different.
It's like something [SIGHS.]
I don't know.
There's It's like I see things.
And I can feel things.
And there's this There's There's something outside me, but it's inside me.
And there's this voice.
And It's like it It's It's coming from inside my head.

That pattern could've stopped repeating hours or days ago.
You could be looking for something that doesn't exist anymore.
No.
It has to be there.
[YOSHI.]
It's gone now.
It isn't gone.
89 million and counting patterns that it's recognized.
The pattern from the Hoshi isn't one of them.
[MITSUKI.]
What's this? Clustering results.
No! Here! It's alone.
[YOSHI.]
An anomaly.
Maybe a birdie in the equipment.
[TAKUYA.]
Or one of those satellites you said were destroyed.
Isolate that pattern.
Pull it up.
