First Contact (2023) - full transcript

- Are we alone?

- Debbie.

Come on, girl.

Are we just one of a kind,

one paralleled rarity in
a universe of nothing?

Our universe has been
around 70,000 times longer

than we have.

Come on girl, come on.

Where the hell did you go?

I need to focus.

One false move, and uh



theoretically I could
turn into dark matter

or I simply turn to dust.

I'd rather not find out.

Damn it.

Debbie?

- People are scared.

There's been over 300 Sightings.

NASA's got involved now.

- I don't know if
you can hear it here.

There's a whirring noise

and I've seen shit in the sky

that does not look
like any helicopter

or airplane I've
ever fucking seen.

- We
started receiving reports



about three weeks ago,

and NASA was able to confirm
what they were seeing,

which is an unidentified object

coming slowly towards
earth's orbit.

- And if there is
a UFO up there,

we don't know what it is.

- We see these things with
or without the cameras.

They're here, it's a fact.

What are we doing about this?

- This traveled light
years to get to us,

meaning that whatever we do,

we're already behind the ball.

- You see me and my family
think that this is a sign

from them, that us, the chosen
ones, will soon be elevated.

- Not to be that guy.

I know we're all
scared right now,

but I am really
freaking out, okay?

- There's no reason to panic.

We've not seen any evidence
that the object is hostile.

- We have things careening
towards this planet.

- Basically just kind of
getting out of the city

as soon as I can.

I don't really know what
the fuck's going on.

I don't know what y'all
motherfuckers are doing,

but if you're watching this,

you should probably try
to get out of the city.

- NASA is continuing
to investigate

and we will address the public

with any findings we may
come across as we proceed.

- And whether
it's the Chinese,

whether it's aliens

or whatever the hell it is,

we need to take charge.

We need to win.

- Well I
would caution anyone

against the idea of winning
and losing in this situation.

I think the most important thing

that we can all do
is just to stay calm.

There's no reason to panic.

We've not seen any evidence
that the object is hostile.

- We have things
careening towards this planet

and you're telling
us to just stay calm?

Take a few deep breaths?

Is this a yoga class?

No, this is real life.

We need to take
some action here.

We need to stand up and
defend this country.

Defend this planet.

Take the lead here as
we have always done

throughout the history
of this country.

- You know I will
always give you the truth.

If I'm right, I'll
tell you I'm right.

If I'm wrong, I will
tell you I'm wrong.

I was wrong on this one, folks.

It does appear that
there are objects...

Hey, this is Chloe.

Please leave message
and I'll call you back.

- Hey uh, sorry I
missed your call.

I'm just in the
middle of something.

Um, can you call back, please?

I wanna talk to Benny and you.

Right, um, talk to you soon.

- These things
are coming toward the globe.

At this point, what are you
gonna do about it, doctor?

- All right...

- Hey stranger.

How long you been here?

- About an hour. You?

- Just got in last night.

- See you made yourself at home.

- So things must be
crazy for you right now

with all the UFO alien stuff.

- Probably would
be if I had a job.

Funding got cut off.

- Damn Casey, I'm sorry.

- They're more interested

in focusing on weapons
development, your territory.

- Right.

It really has been a long time.

I got out like three years ago.

- Oh. Well that's good, right?

Hey, how's Chloe?

- She uh- we split
about two years ago.

- Oh, sorry um, Benny?

- Well, he's not here.

I- he's, he's good.

He just turned 10 last week.

He's super smart.

- When's the last time
you talked to dad?

- I don't remember. You?

- Maybe a year.

God I didn't even
know he was missing.

- Yeah, me neither.

Just got the paper
from down the road.

- Yeah, I saw.

- It just, made
it real, you know?

This house is so old

it's been making noises
since I got here.

- It's gonna need a lot of
work if anyone's gonna buy it.

- So you wanna sell it?

- Don't you?

I mean, we could both
use the money, right?

- How long you
planning on staying?

- I don't know.

The police found
no trace of him?

Wanna look around here.

See what dad was
working on, you know?

- Well knock yourself out.

- Okay. You wanna
go find one more?

- No I gotta leave
early tomorrow.

- What? Why?

- When I get back.
- Okay

- Are you sure
you're good to drive?

- Yes, I'm fine to drive.

- You sure?

- Stop, I'm fine.

- We can call a car you know?

- Yeah, I was born to drive.

Sit back and put
your seatbelt on.

- Oh baby.

- So
over the last month

there's also been some seismic
activity that's going on.

A lot of earthquakes.

A lot of people
lost their homes.

- Uh well
Penelope, I'm not a geologist.

My heart obviously goes out

to those who have lost
their lives and their homes-

- You love it, don't you?

- I do.

The fuck? What happened?

What is that?

- I have no fucking clue.

Hang on.

- No, baby.

- No, no, no.

Just stay there.

- Ugh, my phone.

Goddamn it.

Kevin? Kevin?

Kevin.

Kevin. Kevin get in the car.

Kevin, get in the car.

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

- Or maybe I should drive.

- Peacekeepers,
man. You hear me?

Not peacekeeper.

No, no, no.
Peacekeepers, with an S.

Freaking' Trident IIs, man.

Look around.

We're in the middle
of nowhere, man.

You see any fucking water?

No.

Where the hell are you gonna
hide to submarine, man?

You hear me, Danny?

- Yeah, I hear you.

Just not my problem anymore.

- Yeah, I guess, man.

Anyway, how things
going out there, huh?

You feeling any better?

- Not really. But
Casey showed up today.

She wants to sell the place.

- Really?

Well, is it worth anything?

- Probably not.

- Well tell her she
can go eat shit then.

Huh, how about that?

I mean, think about that.

You know, she goes MIA
on you for three years

and then comes back

and thinks she can walk on in

and tell you what to do?

No, no, nah, no way.

Fuck that. It doesn't
work that way.

- Hey. Can I come in?

- Mikey, I gotta go.

I'll call you back.

Tell Stacey hi for me.

- Is that Benny?
He's so grown up.

- Yeah, that's about all
I see of him anymore.

- What happened?

- After Chloe and I got
married and Benny was born,

we're living on base,
I got into an accident.

I guess some things
up here got scrambled.

They discharged me early.

After that things got dark.

It's all still a
little hazy to me,

but, she split and-

- Are you okay, like physically?

- Fine now, I just get
these mean headaches.

I forget things a lot.

- Sounds like dad.

- Yeah, at least
he could remember

the things that he wanted to.

Kinda like someone else I know.

- That's fair.

- You know, I tried
calling, a lot.

- Yep, I know.

I uh, just got so busy. Sorry.

- Busy?

Look, if you wanna
sell the house,

I'm not gonna try and stop you.

But you know, I-I haven't
had a stable living situation

and this place is like
an hour from Chloe

and Benny could come
here on the weekends

and I don't know.

- Maybe you're right.

When I was looking
through dad's things,

I swear I could feel
him there, his presence.

He's still here in
some way or another

or not totally gone.

If that makes any sense.

Anyway I just lost my job.

No money, nowhere to go.

So I guess you're
stuck with me, for now.

- Night.

- Morning.

- Morning. How'd you sleep?

- Shitty.

- I feel that.

- I think we should
look for him.

Dan, dad was working
on something.

What if he found something that
he wasn't supposed to find?

We can't just give up that easy.

I mean, what do you think?

- I think dad is exactly
where he is supposed to be.

- Where are you going?

- Gotta run some errands.

- Morning handsome.

- What happened last night?

- We drank way too much.

Got kicked outta
Maggie's Tavern.

- Did I drive.

- A little bit.

Hey, so I'm going
to my sister's today

but I'll be back tomorrow, okay?

- Shit. That's right.

- You gonna miss me?

- Yeah.

- You gonna make it?

- Yeah. This goddamn hangover.

- Shit. Shit

What do you have going on today?

- I'm gonna go to Jason's.

- Well, we left our
tab open last night

if you're going to Maggie's

- Yeah. No we're not.

But I can get it for you.

- Thank you.

- Jamie, is that you?

- What? I can't hear you.

Are you all right?

Do you hear that?

What was that?

- Hm? Was that- I
didn't hear you, I-

- Sounded like a earthquake.

- Yeah. I dropped something.

- Do you remember that thing
in the road last night?

- You know, I'm sorry.

I don't think I remember
everything right now.

Just my head's a little-

just a really bad hangover.

- Okay.

Well can you make sure you still
get the card from Maggie's?

- The what?

- Card, from Maggie's.

- Yeah. Yes, I can-

I can get the card
from Maggie's.

- Hold on, hold on.

We have a quote from
the NASA administrator,

Frances Peterson.

She says that
whatever is out there,

whether it be benign-

- Believe this shit?

- I dunno.

- Attention whores trying
to create some steam

on the internet.

Another one?

- Yeah.

- It's all a
distraction you know.

It's how it starts.

You're busy looking up

and they're stealing
our rights down below

and no one cares

because they're afraid of
some made up horseshit.

- Maybe.

- Hey Kevin, how you feeling?

You were in rare
form last night,

you here for your card?

- Yeah, thank you.

- She's a treasure

but she knows nothing
about the military

and our capabilities.

Honestly saying that-

- Ethan actually before
you close that out,

I will take one
more beer please.

- Little Doggy here for you.

You got it.

- Thank you very much.

- What's that?

- Thank you.

- You okay, man?

- Yeah I'm good, how you doing?

Where the fuck are you Bradach.

- Wait, did you
just say Bradach?

- I'm sorry it's late.

Thanks for the beer.

- Asshole left his card again.

- Let me ask you a question.

Do you know a guy
named Ian Bradach?

- Ian Bradach. Yeah.

Old guy, cops came
in looking for him.

Think I read in the
news he passed. Why?

- Just wondering. Read
about him in the paper.

- Don't
care about light years.

They care about this year.

- It
could be a drone you know,

from some kid in
their neighborhood

could be a bird.

- So you're saying
we don't need to be prepared?

- Be
prepared for what?

- It could
be colonizing us.

It could be coming to
take over our world.

What are you doing to
prepare us for us for this?

I mean,again,we don't
even know what that is out there

- Where the fuck
did that come from?

- No, no, no.

I'm just saying like our,
our cones in our eyes,

like they're not very strong.

Like, you know, we create
technology in this world

so that we can really see things

that we personally can't
see with a naked eye.

So we have, you
know, radar and sonar

and other technology out there
to help us see things that-

- Bradach.

What?

Where is Bradach?

I dunno who the hell
Bradach is, man.

Bradach.

Where is Bradach?

I don't Know.

Stay out of my head man. Stop.

I'm a nice guy, just-

- Looks like something
exploded in here.

- Look at this stuff.

Dad must have been
working on something huge.

- Yeah, it's kinda spooky.

- That's why I have the trident.

- That's a pitch fork.

- Whatever.

- Now you're smoking again?
What's wrong with you?

So I was looking
over dad's notes.

I came out here, hacked
into his computer

and I found a whole
bunch of video diaries,

all about what he was doing.

- Oh, you hacked in.

- I guessed the password.

- And what was it?

- My birthday.

- Right.

- Dan, I think that this
could have something to do

with everything else going on.

The UFO's, all of it.

- That's great.

Have fun with that.

- Hey there
you reached Kevin.

Uh please leave a
message after the beep

and I'll get back to you.

- Hey Kevin it's
Jason. What the hell?

Was to meet you at six.

All right I'm coming over.

Actually, I'm already here.

See you in a second asshole.

Kev-O, Kevin.

All right I'm coming
in. Don't shoot me.

Kev? Yoh!

Oh, you watching TV.

Okay. Missed me for TV, huh?

Better be something good.

I heard that Pam's got
a great special offer

on pelicans right now.

Swear to God.

Why you by yourself?

Kev? Kev.

- I was watching.

- Oh shit.

Thought you were dead
man. What happened to you?

- That's a funny question.

Hilarious actually.

All the things around
us that we don't know,

that we don't see.

Makes me laugh.

- Kevin? Kevin?

You don't look so good. You-

Gotta get you to
a hospital, okay?

- It's not important. It's
the beginning of the end.

You know that, right?

- Kev I don't know
what you're on

but you gotta snap
out of it, okay?

- And you are?

- Seriously? It's
me. It's Jason.

- Jason.

There is a human, Bradach.

I must find this man.

- Let me get you
some water, okay.

Kev, Kevin.

Breaking my arm, Kev.

Kevin.

- So you don't know him?

- I don't know what the
hell you're talking about.

Oh, jeez. Fuck.

Kevin, Kevin, please.

- The fuck did you do?

- It was necessary.

- No it was not necessary.

It was not necessary.

Get out of my fucking head man.

Hey, this is Chloe.

Please leave message
and I'll call you back.

- Hey, just hoping to catch you
before you guys went to bed.

I guess I missed you.

Gimme a call back please.

- The date today is
April 11th, 2022.

It was a modest
step forward today.

For the first time I
believe I was able to

formally measure the actual
gravitational abnormalities

that I've been noticing.

The center of which is
approximately 1.2 kilometers

north of the house

where the law of universal
gravitation simply-

Well, it just doesn't work.

What does work however,

is what I'm tentatively calling

Bradach's law of dark matter.

- Hey you
hear that humming?

- Yeah.

You might wanna see this.

- I gotta go look.

- Hold on, hold on.

- What?

- I'm coming with.

Please tell we're not
about to see an alien.

- I dunno.

- What are you doing?

- Getting a closer look.

- Casey, get back in the car.

Casey.

Casey.

- Dan, Dan. Dan.

Hey, you're up.

- What happened?

- Good question.

How's your head?

- Not great.

- So I'm still
trying to figure out

what dad was doing out there.

I found this machine.

- Hey Casey.

We gotta stop, okay.

- Dan it's dad's work.

- Right. It's his
work and he's gone.

We've gotta move on.

- I'm glad you're okay.

- After recording it
for the past 12 months.

I've discovered that
amazingly there is a pattern,

almost like Morse code.

And despite my desire
to stay grounded,

the thought of communicating
with other worlds

does cross my mind.

I dunno. Maybe this
is something else.

We'll see.

Hey this is Chloe.

Please leave a message.

- Hey.

You all right?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna reheat some
pizza. You want some?

- No, I'm good. Thank you.

- Kevin. What happened in there?

- What happened here?

This world is so goddamn hot.

- Are you okay?

- Do you know this man?

- Well, I- who?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

- I said do you know this man?

- Oh my God. Kevin
what happened to you.

- Jamie. Find this man.

- I dunno what you're-

Kevin, we have to get
you outta here right now.

- Jamie?

- Yeah?

- So much has happened
that you don't know.

- You need a doctor.

- It's too late for
that. Doesn't matter.

- Kevin. I love you.

Okay. Just- just
let me help you.

- You can help me
by finding this man.

- I, I think, I think that
he might, might be dead.

- No.

- Kevin, I don't know
what you're saying.

Are you saying he's still alive?

I, I don't-

- It is crucial that you
find this man for me.

- Okay. If you really think
that he can help you, I will.

- Great?

- Find him.

- Decipher the signals

and follow the instructions
quite thoroughly,

will all this
amount to anything?

Will we make first contact?

We must and they must
be met with peace.

This file. This virus.

I hope guarantees that.

My colleague Dr. Henry
Lyman and I spoke at length

about the great filter
and its imminent arrival.

My biggest regret...

...is if I am in any way
responsible.

- Daniel, Daniel

- Case, is that you?

Casey.

- Daniel.

- Hey, Hey.

- Daniel.

- Daniel.

- Case, is that you?

Casey.

- Casey, wake up, wake up Casey.

Hey. Hey, Hey.

Wake up, wake up Casey.

- Daniel. Daniel.

- What are you doing?

Dan? Give me the knife?

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- I think you were sleepwalking.

I know they say never to
wake someone up during their-

- Casey, stop.
Stop for a second.

- So first the
symbol on the porch,

which you're saying
that you did.

Then the one on the table
which I saw you doing?

- I don't remember doing that.

- Is there anything that
could have caused you to-

- Casey. I felt him there.

Dad, his presence.

Just like you said before
that he was in the house.

Did you find anything in
the barn that could have-

Okay. That's it?

A thumb drive?

- Let's plug it in.

- What's that?

- Virtual basic file
could be anything.

- Wait, stop. Dad was
clearly hiding this.

Probably for a reason.

Maybe we should be a
little more careful.

- You're right. Sorry.

- I have now been
receiving, deciphering

and following said
instructions for over a year.

Today I, I believe
I have gone too far.

The- the device, the dark
matter receptor seemed

to have briefly opened
some sort of, well,

some sort of portal
to another world,

wh- wh- whether it's
a parallel dimension,

extraterrestrial
or something else.

I do not know.

I- I- I've been feeling tired

and not quite as
lucid as I would like.

My sense of time has
become chaotic at best.

Worst of all, Debbie is missing.

I think that's something
or some things,

beings came through
into our world.

There's something.

Something evil here.

- Hey.

- Hey, I need to
run out for a little bit.

I'll be back later,
but do me a favor.

I found some stuff. Weird stuff.

Just be careful in
the house, okay?

- Yeah, okay.

- Great.
I'll see you later.

- Casey Bradach?

- Hi. Yeah. Dr. Lyman.

- Your father was
my closest mentor.

So sorry to hear
what happened to him.

Thank you for meeting
me on such short notice.

We have plenty to discuss.

- Um, anybody home?

Oh, hello sir.

- Bradach.

- Do you have any idea
what happened to him?

I mean, did he mention anything?

- No. No. Unfortunately we
hadn't spoken for years.

Well, the reason I
asked to meet you,

I wanted to discuss the
symbols in your email.

- Um, I can't quite
see you there.

- I know, I'm not a big
fan of the damn sun.

Are you Bradach?

- Um no, sorry. My
name's Davis Mason.

I'm here to talk about Jesus
Christ your Lord and Savior.

- Have you ever heard of
the Kola Superdeep Borehole?

It's a Soviet drilling project,

the Kola Peninsula
some 50 years back.

The goal was to dig deeper
than had ever been dug before,

but the locals, they called
it the "Well to Hell".

Cause of all the screams
rising to the surface.

You know the stuff
of urban legend.

- As you know, the end is near.

The beam from the sky on
this side of the rapture.

The book of Revelation suggests-

- What do you know
about the end?

- Well, I know if you seek
salvation, we can help you.

- They get five miles down

and they discover dozens of
2 billion year old fossils.

Most of these are
single celled organisms,

the beginnings of life on earth.

However, the rumor is

when they got a little
deeper, they found more.

Now these photos have
been mostly discredited,

but they got leaked

and examined by some of
the more eccentric members

of the scientific community.

- Salvation? No.

- Sir, if you just gimme
a moment of your time-

- My father referenced
you in the great filter.

Why?

- There's an expiration
date for every civilization,

anywhere in the universe.

It's my opinion that
it's the only explanation

for why we haven't
made first contact yet.

Your father did not quite agree.

- You are right.
The end is near.

- Do you know how long the
universe has been around for?

14 billion years.

And earth? Do you know how
long earth has existed?

- 4.5 billion.

- Correct? And humans-

How long have we been around.

- 200,000 Years.

- And look at all we've
accomplished in that time.

Industrialization, space travel,

and we are barely
more than a tiny spec

on our planet's history.

We don't even know

if we're the first
civilization here on earth.

- Your
extinction is imminent.

- So when you look at
all we've accomplished

in such little time,

how could it be possible
that any civilization

from anywhere in the universe,

haven't made first contact yet?

- It's nothing
to be scared of.

- Because they've
all come to an end.

- It's just the course.

- Now, your father,

he thought there was
something we weren't seeing.

Couldn't see.

- Dark matter?

- What else do you
know about the end Davis?

- He thought if we
could see it, follow it,

it would open a door
to understanding parts

of the universe we'd
never even seen.

Communicate with life forms

across vacuums of space and time

that had never been seriously
contemplated before.

- A- actually sir, I-
I- I should be going.

- Why? I
can't let you go.

- He believed that first
contact was the only way

to stop our own extinction date.

- Sir, I- I-

- So what happened to him?

- That Miss Bradach is an answer

I unfortunately do not have.

- One last thing.

Do you know who Debbie was?

- Debbie.

Debbie was your father's dog
and he loved her very much.

- So I think that dad
wanted to use the virus

in the thumb drive to make sure

that we made first
contact with the aliens.

- Do we know that he
was like all there?

- Seriously?

- Yeah. Seriously.

You don't understand.

After the accident,
I wasn't well.

You know, one trigger and
I would spiral for days.

Now, what if it wasn't
just the accident?

What if it was
something genetic?

You know, now our dead dad

and this virus is
trying to kill us all.

- No, look, I-

I met this guy today. He
was a friend of dad's.

He said that the
symbols you did-

- Casey stop. Please just stop.

He's gone, okay? He is gone.

- He's our dad.

- No, he was your
dad. Hardly mine.

And you're one to talk.

The amount of times
that I tried calling you

to tell you what was going on

or just to see how
my sister was doing.

You're just like him.

You can't step
away for one second

to see what is right
in front of you.

- I said I was sorry.

- Casey. It doesn't matter.

I barely knew him.
And he barely knew me.

All I want is to make sure

I don't make the same
fucking mistake with my son.

- So do you want me to
go in there with you or-

- No, uh, no.

I just need you to close by
in case anything happens.

- Copy that.

- If you saw him, you
would know why you're here.

- Are you sure you don't want
me to go in there with you?

- No, I need to hear him out.

- Refuse to accept
that this is the end.

Tonight bring this on us.

I don't know. The
clock has been set.

If my calculations are correct,

Sunday, October 23rd at 6:32 AM,

they see the sign
and they will come.

We will survive.

We will go on.

- Casey?

- Kevin?

- Come down please.

- Can we talk up here?

I- I found the man
you were looking for.

- My skin. It hurts.

The
down here feels nice.

- Oh my God.

- Tell me.

- So your- your friend
lived in a farmhouse

at the edge of town.

He's- he's dead, but
I- I have the address.

- Casey.

- Bradach.

- Casey.

- Are you Bradach?

- Where's Casey?

- Casey is safe.

She seems to be a much more
welcoming host than you.

- Did you know our father?

- I do.

- Death is a construct.

There is so much more beyond
death than we can see.

- Wh- I can't really
see anything, babe.

- Time is running out.

It will be here soon.

- What will be here soon?

- The end.

- What does that mean?

Are you an alien?

- No.

- What are you.

- Does this help?

- Millions of years
ago we entities,

evolved past our physicals forms

and stored ourselves
out of time and space.

- Entities?

- Dark matter as you call it.

- What happened Kevin?

- Kevin, Kevin.

- Your father, Bradach
allowed us into your planet.

- What do you mean, the end?

- It came with us.

- Back up.

Shit.

Back the fuck up.

- It will take over.

It wants our end and
it will be yours.

-Holy shit! Jesus Christ!

- The aliens?

- No. It will rise.

- What are you?

- How do we stop it?

- I am the end.

- A symbol of peace,

then help will come from above.

They are the only hope.

- Who? Who?

Casey.

- Stop. Stop.

- Why?

- I'm sorry.

- Thanks.

- You don't remember anything?

- I need to show you something.

- Oh shit.

- I think that dad
opened a portal

to an ancient
extraterrestrial being

and that whoever
he was talking to

or whatever was talking through
me is trying to help us.

- Then what the fuck is that?

- Clearly the portal
let something else
in, something evil.

You said that it told you I
was a better host than you.

- Yeah.

- It takes over living things.

That's what that is.

- But who? I mean for all
we know, dad was alone.

- Debbie.

- Who's Debbie?

- In one of dad's video diaries,

he said that Debbie
had gone missing.

Debbie was his dog.

- Oh. Okay.

I just, I think I
saw Debbie here-

What used to be Debbie
in the woods earlier.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

- Gross. There's more.

- You're telling me that dad
was somehow communicating with

the civilization that was on
earth millions of years ago,

and that's what possesses
me and then you,

and they told him that
tomorrow morning could be-

- The great filter.

- And that is?

- Our extinction date.

- We need to upload
the virus, share it,

stop us from attacking them.

Then we need to
power up the machine.

That's the invitation.

- Just think about
it for a second.

How do we know that we
can even trust this thing?

I mean, what if
this is just aliens,

tricking us into laying
down and killing us all.

Unfortunately Dr. Morie,

we have to interrupt you.

ACN has obtained
exclusive footage

from a town in upstate
New York called Delhi.

We'd like to warn our viewers

that this footage is
extremely graphic.

- Oh, Hey guys.

It's Emily Black.
I'm here with Wes.

- What the fuck is that?

- Um, all right, so
we're just taking a drive

and I'm just gonna
show you, look at this.

- Jen, I think we
should turn around.

- I- No. We definitely
can't turn around.

I have no idea what it is.

I don't know if it's a man

or if it's like
an animal or like-

- Hello?

- Is it real?

Okay. Just touch it.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I have to...

- Oh shit.

- The UFOs we noticed
some three years

before anybody else did.

Got so focused on
trying to figure out

what was happening out there.

Nothing else mattered.

I barely slept, barely ate.

Just work.

And after all that these
past few days have shown me

that I know nothing,

except that I've been
a terrible sister.

I care about you Dan, so much.

- You know I came
here looking for

some sort of normalcy,
some stability

to get away from
everything from him.

- He loved you Dan,
more than you know.

- Last night he was there.

I felt in my heart and...

- Dan you got to hear
his voice one last time.

I think since I got here,

that's all I've
been looking for.

- Whatever that was, whatever
it is, it killed him.

Dad was a lot of things,

but he was not a bad scientist.

- So what do you wanna do?

- Fuck it. Where do we start?

- First things first,

we need to finish
putting this together.

I think he was
almost done with it.

- All right. We've
got about three hours.

- Wait for the virus, do
you still have clearance?

- Absolutely not.

- Shit. What about Mikey?

- I knew it, man.

I told you. Didn't I tell you?

Dude, check this out.

Just yesterday I
overheard Hernandez

hitting on the new Sergeant.

Yeah, dude wouldn't shut up.

He, he was, he was
bragging about some,

some fucking warhead stockpile.

Dude, he said tomorrow,
tomorrow Danny.

This is all our
nuclear war, man.

We all gonna die.

- So you'll help?

- Fuck yeah I'll
help. You kidding?

Let's go.

- Jesus.

- All right, come on.

- Wait, no. I gotta
finish wiring it.

- You'll be all right out here?

- Where are you going?

- Gotta make a call.

Hey, this is Chloe.

Please leave a message
and I'll call you back.

Hey Chloe, it's me.

I know it's late.

I just wanted to tell you that
I miss you guys, both of you.

And I want Benny to know that.

And- and I hope he's
happy and excited.

He knows how much
he means to me.

Tomorrow might be different.

So just tell him I love him.

- Hello?

Dan.

- Yeah.

- Where are you?

- I'm inside, why?

What's wrong?

- Something is out there.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah. Where'd he go?

- Who cares? It's almost 6:30.

- I got the login
info from Mikey.

I'm gonna make a
hotspot from my phone

and upload the
virus from the barn.

- Dan.

- When it's time
detonate the machine.

- Dan, I need to get
out to the machine.

- Wait till I get back.

Come on, come on.

- Bradach.

- Casey if you can get
the power on, do it now.

- Got it. You all right.

- Yeah.

- You really know
nothing, do you?

- I got an idea.

What do you want?

- I am here to ensure the
natural order, your extinction.

It happens to
every civilization.

And it will hurt.

- What are you?

- I am nothing but a messenger.

- Dan, I got it.

- There's no help.
There's no one coming.

- Casey, go. Fix the machine.

- Are you all
right? What's wrong?

- You are alone.

- Dan. Dan.

- You will fight them.

-And you will both lose.

And you shall...

...all die.

- Fuck that.

- Dan what's going
on? Where are you?

The hell Dan.

Dan what's going on?
Are you all right?

Dan, come on.

Dan!

- You naive human being.

- Get away from my sister
you old son of a bitch.

- Are you okay?

- I've been better.

- Can you fix it?

- Yeah, I think so.

- What is that?

- I don't know.

- Oh shit.

It rises.

- What do we do?

- We get help.

I can fix the machine,

but the detonator's busted.

There's another one in the barn.

- I'll go.

- Wait.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

We got this.

- Okay.

- Communicating with
another world, another time,

I've been able to
bring out the best,

to learn from them.

It's also brought

- Casey. Where is it?

- Dan, It's almost time.

- I know. Where is it?

- There is no other detonator.

- But
why does it seem.

- I need to do it manually.

- Casey, no.

That in every world,

there are those who want-

who demand history
repeat itself.

- Casey don't.

- He was there. I
felt in my heart.

- I can feel him
too Dan, he's here.

He's dark matter.

They see the sign

- Casey.

And they will come

We will survive.

We will go on.

- Dan you got to hear
his voice one last time.

I think since I got here,

that's all I've
been looking for.

- Dad?

- Casey.

- Dr. Dominic,

what happened this morning?

- Around
6:30 this morning,

we experienced some
phenomenal seismic activity

that resulted in an
eruption into our atmosphere

that painted the sky red.

The redness was later dispelled

by the arrival
blue energy source

also from upstate New York.

At which point, the
entire grid collapsed.

What I can tell you is
that the full light force

of the American
military stands ready.

- Can
you confirm or deny

that our weapon
systems are still down?

- Um, we're
slowly coming back to,

but as you now know,
let me be clear.

This is the day we
discover we are not alone.

Our future as humans may never-

will never be the same.

This is first contact.
