The First Key (2018) - full transcript

AF825,
maintain flight level 3-0-0.

AF825, Prague Tower,

I'm picking a raw target
at your 11 o'clock,

not painting a transponder.

May be at a low altitude
sector, do you copy?

AF825, Prague Tower, I repeat,
I am picking up a raw target

at your 11 o'clock not
painting a transponder.

It may be at a low altitude
sector, do you copy?

AF825, I'd like
to advise Prague Tower

that target cannot be at a low altitude.

Target is above me, descending
through my 3-5-0, tower.



Say again, AF825.

AF825, roger, you have traffic

at 11 o'clock and descending.

Observing a lighted
object moving to our...

Approaching our nine o'clock position

at a high rate of speed.

AF825, copy that.

We're checking to see if
anyone knows who this is.

Stand by.

AF825,

can you see the aircraft type?

It's heading right for us.

Course one three seven.

This thing is moving like
a ballistic missile Prague Tower.



- Targeting the river.
- Pull up!

Bright lights, altering white to red...

Get her from the water!

AF825,
repeat, we have lost target.

Do you still have visual?

Negative, Prague Tower.

AF825, I was painting

an unidentified target coming
at you from eight miles,

11 o'clock position and
now you're telling me

11 o'clock position and now
you're telling me that it's just gone?

That it's just gone?

Affirmative, Prague Tower.

It was there and then it wasn't.

Do you remember
that time we were running

- through the forest?
- Yes.

And we had that
little dog, what was his name?

Maxie?

- We named him...
- Maxie?

Yeah, Maxie.

And he latched onto the back of your pants

- and you kept running?
- No, no.

And he was pulling them down.

And we could see your little bottom.

It's not true.

It was true, come on,

- you remember Maxie.
- No, no.

- Yeah, I remember!
- You remember Maxie.

I don't remember
the drive being so beautiful.

Yeah, you always loved this drive.

How much longer until we get there?

You sound just like your mother.

That's the first time
you've said it to me since...

I'm glad you changed your mind, Teri.

It's been way too long.

I love you, Daddy.

Can't wait to see the cottage.

Almost there.

It's been a while, huh?

Okay.

It's a new day.

Come on, your holiday begins now.

All right.

Come on, what are you waiting for, monkey?

An invitation?

Oh, sweetness, hey, hey, hey.

I miss her too, Teri.

I miss Mom more than you know.

Hey, hey, no, no, that's not true.

I speak three languages, okay?

I speak, uh, English,
Australian, and American.

All the places I've lived.

You've lived here for twenty years
and you still don't speak Czech.

Yeah, but I understand
every single world.

That doesn't pardon you.

You know, maybe it's the place,

but I think so much clearer
when we're together.

Hey, I did notice, it's pretty.

Thank you.

It was a gift.

And I think it's great

you're going back to
school here in Europe.

Maybe eventually working at the company.

So what changed your mind?

I met a guy.

What?

What?

I mean, that's, that's great.

Really.

So that's what changed your mind

about coming up to the cottage.

Dad.

It was hard.

For both of us, when Mom disappeared.

And I'm just really happy now.

And I was hoping that you
would be happy for me.

What's his name?

Robert.

Can't wait to meet Robert.

He's a very lucky man.

But you'll always be my monkey.

- Love you, Dad.
- Love you.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Dad!

What's wrong with the lights?

Dad, power's surging again.

Must be that old generator.

Thought I had that fixed.

I thought you had that fixed.

I'm tired, Dad, I'm going to bed.

Good night.

Okay, I'll take it apart tomorrow.

Good night.

Or maybe Robert can fix it.

We choose to forget.

Teri?

Teri.

Teri!

Teri!

Teri?

Teri!

Oh, no.

Teri!

Stop, Teri!

Teri, wait!

Teri!

Hey, wait!

Teri!

Teri!

Teri!

Teri!

Teri!

Teri, Teri!

Mr. Fell?

You're awake.

Hey.

Teri?

Where's?

Where's Teri?

Where is she?

No, no, where is she...
Shh, shh, shh.

- Where's Teri?
- Shh.

You sustained
a severe concussion.

Expect headaches and some
severely bruised ribs.

Also, mild hypothermia from exposure.

If the police hadn't
found you when they did,

it could have been much, much worse.

She was a gift from above.

Where is she?

Uh, doc, why won't you
tell me where she is?

I'm sorry.

I'm not allowed to say.

You see, you see this?

This is, this is, I'm okay.

All right?

There's nothing wrong with me.

Please.

Where's my daughter?

I can't.

Sorry, um.

Excuse me, sir?

Are you able to tell me what
happened to my daughter?

Agent Ray Bowie.

You a cop, Ray Bowie?

Because if you're not a cop,

I'd like to finish up
with the medical stuff.

Fine by me.

But he's not gonna tell
you what you want to know.

There's been a terrible
accident, as you know.

An earthquake, big one.

6.8, so I heard.

Unusual for these parts, for sure.

No, I didn't know.

Your cottage is gone, Mr. Fell.

Came down when the fault slipped.

A fire, too, something
about a faulty generator.

Yeah, I, I remember, we were
having generator problems.

Must be why you and your
daughter ran into the woods,

a fire?

No, I, I don't remember any fire.

At least that's where
we found you, the swamps.

Half a click from your cottage.

Where's Teri?

I hate to be the one to
break this to you, Mr. Fell,

but we haven't been
able to locate her body.

We're dredging the swamps now as we speak,

so unless you can give me

some place more productive to look.

She's all I...

I'll give him a sedative.

He needs to calm down and get some rest.

When Mr. Fell is sorted,
please let me know.

We were just starting to get acquainted.

I'll wait outside.

Just relax, Mr. Fell.

This will put you to sleep.

I'll be outside if you need me.

Show me the scene.

Get me a five mile perimeter

and let me know when the
crime scene photos are up.

Sir?

- Did you get anything?
- Not yet.

Take care of that, Robert.

Hey, hey, hey, you
can't go in there right now.

Hey.

He's running, let's go.

All right, let's go that way.

All right, let's go, let's go around.

Back of the car.

Hey, Martin, are you okay?

What the?

You are in a restricted area.

Turn your car around immediately.

You are in a restricted area.

Turn your car around immediately.

I repeat: You are in a restricted area.

Turn your car around immediately.

No, not again.

Now, who would you be shooting at

behind the wheel of
your expensive car here?

I remember.

I remember what happened.

Teri, wait!

There were about, about 20 of them.

They were taking her there,

over there, towards that harvester.

You sure she wasn't
trying to take your car?

Excuse me?

You sure Teri, your daughter,
wasn't, say, mad at you?

Why would she be mad at me?

Maybe because you two had
a fight about your wife,

her mother, she disappeared
at this very cottage,

what, almost two years ago?

You know nothing about my wife.

Looks like you were
chasing after someone.

Took a shot with that.

Luckily, she managed to get
behind the door before you did.

Bang!

We checked.

Gunshot residue.

What is, what is that?

What the, what the hell is that?

Show me!

No, that's Teri's!

That's Teri's, show me that!

What did?

Yeah, I fired the gun.

But that's not what happened.

That is not what happened!

I thought you couldn't
remember what happened, Mr. Fell.

Stop. Hold fire, hold fire.

Mr. Fell!

I need to talk to you about your daughter!

Leave him here.

Get it cleaned up.

David, it's Martin.

Martin?

Where the hell are you?

What's going on?

The cops have been calling.

I don't know what
they are, but they're not cops.

Of course they're cops,
what else would they be?

She's not dead, David.

- What?
- Teri.

She's not dead, David.

I can't lose 'em both, David.

Do you hear me?

Not like this.

I need a few days to figure this all out.

She went in with the baby.

Hello?

JoannaCZ?

Who is this?

My name is Martin Fell.

I got your number from the internet.

No, wait, from the chat between you and...

The pilot.

The AF825 is a pilot.

He saw the symbol and the UFO.

Excuse me, hey, excuse me.

Who are you?

You can't get in here, please turn around.

Turn around now.

You, hey, do you hear me?

You gotta back up now.

You saw the symbol, didn't you?

What symbol?

A clockwise spiral with a center mark.

You obviously know what I mean.

Let me guess, you're seeing
it everywhere you look.

Yeah.

- Ever since...
- The abduction.

We choose to forget.

Are you a believer, Martin Fell?

I don't know what to believe.

I just, I just can't
quite remember everything.

Memory's a strange thing.

We think it's set in
stone, but in reality,

it's more like water.

Anyone who's lost someone
knows the feeling.

It's fluid.

Water.

And I'm drowning.

So am I.

They took my daughter, Teri.

Wait?

Where are you?

I don't know.

An internet cafe.

Why?

Run.

Shit.

Come on, Martin, come.

Hi, you've reached Martin Fell.

Please leave a message.

Martin, call me back please.

Tell me where you are
and I'll come meet you.

Give me your phone.

You lying son of a bitch.

There wasn't a fire.

No earthquake.

Where is she?

Where is she?!

Maybe you should answer
yourself that question.

Yeah?

Maybe this has some answers, huh?

You lying bastard!

Back off.

Let him go.

Hello?

How did you
know they were coming?

I didn't think
I'd hear from you again.

Agent Bowie was there.

I took his tablet.

There's so much information on here.

I found a file.

More like a collection
of case files on it.

Go on.

Bowie knows everything
about Anna's disappearance

two years ago from the cottage.

Everything.

He's been tracking Teri and I ever since.

Who's Anna?

My wife.

There's hundreds of cases on here.

All investigated by Agent
Bowie, all the same.

Red, white, flashing, unknown object.

Someone abducted or
missing after the event.

A symbol, the symbol.

Left all over the crime scene.

You still there?

I got a ping.

Confirming that it's his IMSI.

Yeah, I'm still here.

He's got notes on these cases

and he's stamped the
same thing on each one.

Unchosen.

What's Bowie covering up?

Confirmed.

Placing the trace now.

Where?

Parizska Street.

His apartment, let's go.

They're tracing your phone.

We need to meet.

Hang up, get on the bus,

get off at the river, the stop at Brehova.

Call me when you reach the water.

He's on a bus.

And it stops K listopadu and Brehova.

Which means he's going to the river.

Where are you?

I'm almost there.

Where to next?

There!

Bowie, it's not him!

What's wrong with you?

- What's your problem, man?
- Shit!

Hey.

Yeah.

Okay, where am I going?

With me.

I know you.

Yeah, I, uh, I get
that a lot these days.

Martin Fell.

Good to see you.

Yeah.

Come on.

That's Jacek, I'm Jo,
short for Joanna, get in.

And dump your phone in the river.

I will circle back.

They probably have eyes on us.

Give you two a head start.

I'll meet up with you at
the power plant, tomorrow.

Okay.

Where are we going?

To see Lance.

It was like a campfire, only controlled.

It's going red, white, red, white,

so bright I could barely look at it.

And if I did for too long,

the brilliance looked like a combination

of red and blue and green.

And it created this incredible
pain behind my eyes.

Running to the light.

The ship.

Knowing Teri was inside,

just staring at it until it went white.

It burned that symbol into my mind.

I don't know, like I suddenly tuned it in.

Like maybe it was already there?

You think I've seen it before?

Not just you.

We all have.

All of us have seen it.

All of us?

All the Unchosen.

Wait, Unchosen?

The ones that weren't
taken, like you, like me.

Lance has been finding us
and bringing us together.

There's more like us?

Someone was taken from you, too?

Someone was taken from
me, but I don't know who.

I know who took them
and how, I know so much

and that's why Bowie's
been after me ever since.

He seems to know an
awful lot about all of us,

assuming I'm one of the Unchosens as well.

Well, according to Lance,

you're the prize jewel of the Unchosen.

Me?

Why me?

I'll let Lance tell you.

By the way, how's your head?

Is it still throbbing?

Won't stop.

The symbol.

Yeah, tell me why I keep seeing

this crazy, swirling symbol
in my head everywhere I look.

It's a signal.

I don't follow.

A beacon?

It's how they tell us where to meet them.

And you see this symbol
everywhere as well?

Not anymore.

Now I only see it when
I cross paths with you.

AF825 copy.

We're checking to see if
anyone knows who this is.

Stand by.

AF825, can you see the aircraft type?

Another nightmare.

Martin?

Teri!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, it's okay.

It's okay, hey.

It's a new day.

Your holiday begins now.

I just went back a ways to
see if we were being followed.

I think we're safe.

We're not safe.

We gotta get outta here.

It was just a dream.

We never should have stopped.

Where are we going?

Joanna?

Okay, okay, wait up.

♪ In the dark world ♪

♪ You need light to bring you home ♪

♪ It's a cold world ♪

♪ I'll never let you be alone ♪

So have you seen them?

Briefly.

Yeah, what do they look like?

Well, if you really want to know,

there's, first of all,

about a hundred different types of aliens.

That's where George Lucas got it right.

Very funny.

Sorry, Star Wars fan.

I can only talk about
the three that I've seen.

There's the grays, which
have big heads, long limbs,

about three to five feet tall.

Then there's the masters of grays,

usually aboard a ship.

They're longer limbs, about
seven to eight feet tall.

So what's the last type?

Not technically an alien.

Well, not
technically an alien, then what?

It's a?

A hybrid.

You mean an alien crossed with...

A human?

Jo, how is that possible?

I'm gonna leave that for Lance.

He was in charge of Catch
Fire and, at the time,

it was about communicating
with the aliens.

He says he communicates with
aliens and you believe him?

Martin, wait.

I do not communicate
with the visitors, Martin.

You do.

Lance Ivanov,

Martin Fell.

Lance Ivanov.

I know that name.

Do I know you?

Not yet.

But you did.

Last of us entering the base,
all safe. Forward.

From the aliens?

Would you believe me if I said yes?

He found the birds.

So what is this place?

The safehouse.

Completely off grid.

Self-sufficient in every way.

We draw power from the panels above

and we are hacked into a few aging,

decommissioned military satellites.

A safehouse means you're in hiding.

Hiding from what, Agent Bowie?

Because you communicate with aliens?

Visitors.

But you don't know how to speak to them

or understand their language.

I was hoping you would tell me.

Humor me.

- Please...
- No, just don't.

Shh, shh, shh, please.

Please, sit down.

And give it a second try.

We'll leave you alone.

Martin Fell.

Positive.

Yes, the same one from two years ago.

No, he has the list.

I don't think he realizes what it is.

Of course, his name is on it.

He doesn't remember a thing.

Like all the other Unchosens.

Sir, Operation Catch
Fire is secure for now.

Don't I always?

We've located the car.

Welcome to the base camp.

Martin, this is Andrej, my brother.

He watches over me.

We've been waiting for you.

We?

All of the Unchosen.

Everyone here is what
we used to classify

in Catch Fire program as an Unchosen.

Yeah, I recognize some faces.

It's all on here.

Uh-huh.

Except my wife.

She has a file, just no pictures.

All these people, like you,

were with a loved one
when they were abducted.

I'm surprised he doesn't recognize more.

Yeah.

Why would I know these people?

Look, I'm not here to join the
hole in the wall gang, okay?

Jo brought me here because your
buddy Ray Bowie is after me.

Because of something I
know or something I saw,

maybe what's in those
files, I really don't care.

So what do you really
care about, Martin?

My daughter.

Jo said you could help me find her.

Yes.

All right.

Let's walk.

This is for you.

Thank you.

How did you find Joanna?

Online.

I was searching for anything

that could help me make
sense of what was happening.

I guess I just stumbled upon her number.

You really believe you just
stumbled upon her number?

If you check, I think you will find

it's an unregistered SAT line.

Joanna is not an Unchosen.

I know she thinks she is but she's not.

She's something more.

She was abducted.

What?

Then she was returned for a reason.

And when she was, her memory was erased.

So the person she thinks she lost...

Was the one she left behind.

Right, so, so Teri can return too?

How?

Through you.

Me?

You don't just have the ability

to communicate with the visitors.

You've got a special ability

to communicate with one specific visitor.

How do you know that?

I've been following
people like you for years.

When Bowie realized that
there were people like you,

civilian interpreters, who are able to

tune into a higher frequency.

Higher frequency, huh?

That's what you call it?

Catch Fire was created to document

communication with the aliens.

And we were almost there.

Once we discovered you
and others like you.

So what happened?

Bowie

and even the others in that project

began to think that it was a conspiracy,

creating hybrids to act as sleeper cells

amongst our own civilization.

They are here.

And more are coming.

- Lots more.
- When?

We don't know.

Soon.

So why do you think they're coming, huh?

Why do you think they're coming?

Why do you think they're coming?!

If you ask Bowie, to invade.

Well, I didn't ask Bowie, did I?

Did you hear me ask Bowie?

Didn't ask you either.

I'm asking you.

Well, I think they are
bringing the hybrids home.

Home?

Yes.

As simple as that.

A kind of homecoming.

You ever have to use that?

Sometimes.

You mind if I join you?

Yeah, sit.

It's warm.

You told me that you don't remember

a single thing about your wife.

No, I don't.

Can't even remember her face, me or Teri.

Do you have any photos of her?

It's like they all
disappeared when she did.

Earlier.

You said that you can see the symbol

whenever we cross paths.

What did you mean by that?

You're tuned to a higher frequency.

I'm sure Lance told you.

Yeah, he did.

I knew as soon as I heard your voice.

I feel it sometimes too.

It's stronger when I'm near
someone who's high-tuned.

Like you.

Sir.

Would you step out of the car, please?

Jacek Palkowski!

Been waiting a long time to talk to you.

Find out what he knows.

We're moving at day break.

Breathe through your nose only.

Not your mouth.

Close your eyes.

And focus on your breathing.

Feel the air flowing all the way in,

to the back of your head.

Once.

Take a deep breath.

Twice.

Inhale.

And exhale, good.

And you will find your nose moving

in the shape of the symbol.

Now, you are tuned in.

Keep breathing

as your nose begins to move
in a figure eight pattern,

left to right, right to left.

Up and down.

Now, you are connected
to your higher self.

And keep on breathing and finally,

you will feel that your
nose starts to describe

the number one.

Yes.

Exactly.

And this number one is always
affirmation to any question.

Now go ahead, Martin.

Teri.

Where are you, monkey?

It's me.

Where are you?

Please, help me remember.

Help me remember.

Yes.

Yes.

What you have just experienced
is called telepathy.

You got it.

Hold your fire
until I give the signal.

If you want to,
you can close your eyes.

I'm in position.

They're coming.

It's time to go.

Not yet.

Buy me some time, Andrej.

You two go.

Let's go.

Hold your fire
until I give the signal.

Come on!

Go, go!

Come on, come on.

And to the left, let's go.

We will hold them off for a while.

It's Bowie.

How'd he find us?

He's here for me.

Geocaching.

What about it?

Just follow the sign that
means something to you.

Okay?

The rest are decoys.

Let's move on.

Go, go, go!

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

It emerges on the other
side of the solar field.

Once you go, you will seal the hatch.

It's your only option for escape.

Good luck.

Seal the hatch.

Good.

Clear, clear!

It's nice to see you, Lance.

Let him go.

Don't do it.

All right, go.

I'm not gonna say it again, go.

She's still alive.

What did you say?

There is always another way.

What is this place?

I don't know.

So what's geocaching?

It's a game.

We used to play it with
Teri when she was a kid.

They hide things like money,
prizes, pictures, books.

And they post the exact location,

longitude and latitude up on websites

and you go to these sites
and you use the coordinates

like a treasure map.

It's fun.

So what did he say?

Follow the clues that
mean something to you.

Yeah, right here.

No, no, damn, come on you.

There we go.

- No.
- Nope.

- Uh, no, no.
- Mm.

There we go.

The international sign for geocaching.

Looks like the symbol.

Oh, crap.

Let's get after 'em.

Okay.

It's taking
us deeper into the woods.

It's on the other side of this wall.

We can try and climb it.

Come on, there has to be a way in.

Come on.

You okay?

Do we go east.

Or is the entrance west.

I know where to go!

Come on, this way.

These are coordinates to locations, no?

Yeah, about a hundred of them.

Well, I only need the one they went to.

They're on foot and the tunnel goes north.

So I suggest we start with
the ones closest to there.

Take me to the nearest site on this map.

Okay.

There.

Come on.

How close are we to these coordinates?

Another two clicks
into the mountains, sir.

I know this place.

It's where they used to live.

Where they were kept.

Where who was kept?

I'm starting to remember.

Lance was right, I've met him before.

I've been here before.

Sir, what's going on?

Blow the door, now.

Teri?

Teri?

Teri?

I'm looking for my daughter.

I know you.

You know where my daughter is.

Her name's...

Teri?

Teri!

Are you, are you, are you hurt?

- I'm fine, Dad.
- Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I can't lose you again, monkey.

Oh my God.

Let's go.

He's waiting for you, Dad.

No, no, I'm,

- I'm not leaving you.
- Go!

Go.

Just go!

Where are you going?

We will make sure your time

with Alpha I is not interrupted.

Hey, Jo.

It's okay.

I know what we have to do, it's okay.

Come on, come on.

What is this place?

It's where the UN used to keep them.

Them?

Do you see that?

I know her.

That's Flora.

Abducted March 2004, at the age of 13.

From Grand Junction, Colorado.

You do not remember your
time with me here, before.

No.

Tell me.

Please help me remember.

Teri?

You're alive.

Robert?

Throughout the universe,

The grays have been
coming here since 1947,

when their first attempt to land on earth

resulted in a crash at Roswell.

We brokered a deal
between humans and grays.

Technology for humanity.

You're Fell's daughter.

Shoot her now!

No!

They heralded in the age of technology

while you slowly brought
them back from extinction

by giving them hybrids.

A life for the chip.

Leading to fiber optics,
computers, internet.

But the council of ten
didn't trust in the deal,

which eventually led to
certain human factions

pursuing the hybrids.

And that's where you came in.

And places like this?

- Yes.
- Hidden in the woods?

A place to reunite hybrid families.

Empathy and emotion is
a necessary sustenance

for a part-human child,
which the grays lack.

Which made them dangerous
to those who were afraid,

creating a need for a human
mother to stabilize the child

out of fear that otherwise the hybrids

would become easy to manipulate.

Yes.

So we had to keep them hidden.

Hidden from those who did not
understand our intentions.

Who wanted to
control the power of the hybrids

no matter the cost.

Yes.

You are both beginning to remember.

We're both?

We choose to forget.

You mean Jo is Anna?

We chose to have our memories erased.

We chose to.

Both of us, Anna.

To protect everyone in our lives.

Everyone that we cared about.

Oh my God.

I've missed you so much, Anna.

I miss you every day of my life.

That night you were taken.

Was a long, long time ago.

I know we discovered that you
tuned into a higher frequency.

You couldn't have children.

Yet you came back with a child.

Teri was our gift.

It was decided
to keep your family intact

no matter what.

You and the others, with
your ability to translate.

We didn't know that our own kind

would come after us for it.

We suspected.

Human emotion often leads
to human miscalculations.

Bowie was
getting closer and closer

and even with Lance
promising to protect her,

we knew he would eventually come for Teri.

We asked you to hide her.

Hide her in plain sight.

But we made sure we always

had a way back to each other.

Yeah.

To remember.

There is always another way.

I will always know you.

Always.

There is always another way.

Always.

There is always another way.

Always.

There is always another way.

I don't remember the
drive being so beautiful.

Yeah, you always loved this drive.

How much longer until we get there?

You sound just like your mother.

I love you, Daddy.

Can't wait to see the cottage.
