Previously on Childhood's End...

They're downing all air traffic all over the world.

At least 40 cities around the world

now have these vessels hovering over them.

My name is Karellen. I am the Supervisor for Earth.

Suffering will end.

Injustice will end.

War, famine, inequality.

These will be things of the past.

It's world peace.

All hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

This is an invasion.

Ahhh! All right!

I just heard they kidnapped
a farmer named Richard Stormgren.

There's no need to be afraid.

My name is Karellen.

- Why are you here?
- We need a messenger.

Gentlemen, welcome to the Golden Age of Man.

Your mind... It just blossomed
when they arrived, didn't it?

They say that science is dying.

So what do you wanna do about that?

I wanna be the first person to visit their planet.

Milo!

No!

Oh, God!

No, no.

No matter how mighty the Overlords may seem.

We can never give up the fight.

As long as you stay hidden back here, there's
always gonna be people that don't trust you.

Your work is done here.

- What?
- Goodbye.

There is no need to be afraid.

It's now the year 2035, and just look at us.

Nineteen years after the Overlords' arrival,

four years after Karellen revealed his true form,

we're living our Ives under their watchful gaze.

No inequality, no crime, no war.

Our differences put aside, one society now
under the hospices of the World Federation.

We have renewable, clean energy
and enough food to feed the planet.

All of our material needs satisfied.

Death is still a fact of life,

but free from disease, stress, and
all the things that turned us gray.

We live longer, healthier Ives.

The birthrate is soaring.

We have a world that we are proud to bring children into.

For those who cling to the old ways,
there's always New Athens.

But for the rest of us,

it's the Golden Age of Man.

Utopia.

So, why am I terrified for the future?

You might call it blissful ignorance. But it's still

ignorance.

Even at The Boyce Institute, scientific enquiry is dying.

If anything, since Karellen forged
a special bond with Dr. Rupert Boyce,

it's dying even faster.

I want to know why.

Hey.

Didn't realize they'd close your whole program down.

Yeah, well, we designed the space orbital
and the engineers are building it.

Dr. Boyce can give you another research post.

I asked him.

He bounced it back.

The Orbital's probably gonna be our last serious project.

I hope I'm wrong.

So that means you're leaving Africa?

Yeah. Maybe. I mean, what's there to keep me?

Yeah, sure.

Are you stealing the Titan drives?

Of course not.

I mean, nobody steals anything any more, Rachel.

Okay, but you... You are stealing
six petabytes of hard drive.

Private research.

I mean, for 20 years the Overlords have
told us precisely nothing about themselves.

About where they come from, about their language.

I'm a guy that likes to know stuff.

Don't be such a fruitcake.

No, no, no, no. Don't rip my house apart again.

Thank you.

Very good to see you, Ricky.

Wow.

You just, uh... Show up.

You don't call, you don't write.

You know, I never got to ask you.

Uh, I mean, you guys have...

You've done this before on other worlds, right?

So,

I mean, have there been other guys like me?

You know, I mean have you picked some fish guy

to talk to the fish people on Fish Planet,
or something like that?

How are you feeling?

Um... I feel fine.

Uh, tired.

I'm really tired.

Pretty much been, uh, been harvesting nonstop.

You know, Ellie and I are still trying to get
pregnant, and that's not going so well.

Plus, the Rams have had a terrible start to their season

so this whole Utopia thing's

a bit of a debatable point in our house right now.

Obviously, you didn't come here to talk about football.

No, I didn't.

So, why are you here?

To apologize.

For what?

Should I sugar the pill?

Karellen?

Yeah. Yeah, everything's okay.

I'm glad everything's okay.

Why is it okay?

Nah, he's just checking in on us.

Making sure we're all right.

In the middle of the night?

Sure he was.

What? Seriously. Hey.

Everything is fine.

We found three eyewitnesses now

who all saw a pod blasting away from the Stormgren farm.

So it's official sports fans,

Karellen has been back to visit his
Blue Collar Prophet after 20 years.

It's fair to say that here on this side of the pond,

curiosity is just as high as in the former US.

According to our affiliate in
Missouri, we do have confirmation now...

We don't know what the Supervisor for Earth has told Ricky

but undoubtedly it's significant.

And the world once again turns
to a modest farm in Missouri.

Give me some credit here, Ricky.

Karellen didn't come down to see
if we were flossing regularly.

Well, he said that

the Earth has a new destiny.

What does that mean?

I have... I have no idea what's waiting for us.

Dad, come see this.

Oh.

It's Karellen.

- He's back.
- The Spokesman of Earth

has been scientist and entrepreneur, Rupert Boyce.

Why Karellen returned to the Stormgren farm last night...

I would not mind being a fly on that wall, huh?

Yeah, it's got to be important.

I mean, if he's back, something's going to happen.

Oh.

Nice.

Dr. Boyce? Dr. Boyce?

- What is it?
- It's not us.

Not an earthquake. It just appeared.

Dr. Boyce?

Dr. Boyce, we don't know where it came from.

I know where it came from.

They just built it.

Just like that.

Incredible.

They just...

Just created an entire room.

Karellen said that something special was coming.

I think it's magnificent.

Why all of this for just a child's toy?

No, no, no, no, no.

This is no toy.

What's with the board, Karellen?

Huh?

You want us talking to ghosts?

It is a communication device.

One assumes he wants us to talk to somebody.

We have to save the children.

We have to save the children.

It'll end and begin.

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

Tommy?

Tommy? Tommy?

Shh. Shh.

All right.

Tom?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Oh!

Jesus.

It will end and begin.

What are you doing, pal?

You all right?

Don't touch us.

Come on, let's, uh... Let's get you to bed.

Don't touch us!

"Religious criticism has also
expressed beliefs that the Ouija board

"reveals information, which should only be in God's hands.

"And, thus, it is a tool of Satan."

Don't know what it was.
It was, uh... It was a powerful force.

From our nine-year-old son?

I was physically attacked by something.

Come on, don't start acting weird around him.

I'm not acting weird.

He thinks that he's done something wrong.

Look, Amy, you don't remember
anything of the nights recently. I do.

He's walking around with that stare

and, you, I mean you're not sleeping well.

I had stomach pains.

You're screaming in your sleep

- about children.
- What?

About saving children.

It's like you're fighting something.

And, and Tom is... He's not himself.

All right.

We could take him to see someone,
but I don't know exactly what we'd say.

Well, we could start with, um...

"It will end and begin."

- I take it you're the Greggsons?
- Yes.

And you must be Tom.

Hi, uh... We spoke on the phone.

Nice to meet you in person, Miss Jones.

So, uh... Uh, you're...

You're not a doctor?

No, no, I'm a fully qualified counselor,

one of a dying breed.

I don't like it here.

Tom!

Our son Tommy is having some

behavioral issues.

Well, I think it's a little more serious than that.

Mom, I want to go.

I don't like it.

I don't blame you, Tom.

It's kind of a depressing place, right?

You probably want to be outside or in your room at home.

Why don't I come visit you there?

The eyes of the macaques... You should've seen them.

I saw it in a dog in the street, too.

It's like it wasn't even human,
uh, if you know what I mean.

And this is being reported across a 20-mile radius.

Could it have something to do with the animals

we've been collecting for the Overlords?

I'm sure they were just scanning for disease or mange.

Surely there's nothing wrong with asking Karellen.

Dr. Rodricks,

isn't your wonderful work with us finished?

Yes, sir.

Thank you. But if I could just have
five minutes with the Supervisor...

Dr. Osaka,

would you excuse us please?

I...

You're very much like I was, Milo.

A headstrong young biologist

full of ideas and theories,

burning through my inheritance trying
to make a name for myself.

Yeah, peas in a pod.

I understand your frustration.

When the Overlords came, they raised all
these exciting questions about the cosmos,

but they refused to answer any of them.

It's not just about me.

They've killed scientific enquiry.

Which is why I'm determined to stay
as close to them as possible.

That is why I built this place.
That is why I do what they ask.

I'm maintaining as much scientific enquiry as I can.

Sending live animals into space?

What does that teach us about them?

Because there's one species they haven't collected.

Us.

Homo sapiens.

Eventually I'll persuade Karellen to take me to his planet.

I'll be the first person to see another
planet lit by another sun.

That's, uh... That's incredible, Dr. Boyce.
I wish you all the luck in the world.

I'm telling you this because I like you, Milo.

But I'm also warning you.

I need Karellen on side.

So don't go tugging on the lion's tail, son.

It's in my bones and there's nothing they can do.

Make the seconds count, baby.

Every one.

Argh!

Oh!

You feel more like talking today, Tom?

I can't tell them what happens.

Why not?

They get scared if you tell them what's gonna happen.

Well, I'm not your mom or your dad.

You can tell me.

I go places.

Far away.

Where it's dark and where it's hot.

Far away.

Maybe we should be in there.

She's a professional.

If she can get him to talk, then
that's got to be a good thing, right?

Do you really think I'm over-reacting?

And what else do you see when you travel, Tom?

An eye.

A single giant eye.

I see fire in the ground. Smoke in the air.

It blocks out the stars.

You imagine this place?

No, I go there.

They take me there.

Who do you think takes you there?

They do.

The Overlords?

It's okay, Tom.

It's not real. It can't hurt you.

It's in your mind. Minds are funny things.

They can change the way we see the world. They can fool us.

What do you hear, Tom? Tell me. Tell me what you hear.

Shall we get your parents in? Tom, what is it? Tom?

- Tom, what is it?
- No!

Tom?

- Mom!
- Hey, what's wrong?

Mom!

Ahhh!

What the hell did you do?

Nothing. Nothing.

Listen to me... Tom, you need to stop.

Ahhh!

Tom?

- Tom?
- Stop!

Tom, look at me. Will you stop!

It's okay, Mom.

It's okay.

The baby's stopped crying.

I'm... I'm not having a baby, Tom.

Hey, Peretta? Wait.

Wait. Jeez. You saw that, right?

What is going on?

I mean, what is it? What's...

What's wrong with Tom?

I don't know what I just saw.

- I have to go.
- No, hey, Peretta...

You're coming back, though, right? I mean,

my own son is scaring me.

Be safe, Jake.

Bye.

Hey.

What's happening?

I'll take your jacket here. Got it.

Wow.

I know he told you something

and I know when you're holding something back.

Don't sugarcoat it.

Listen, Els, all those times I went
to the Overlords' ship, um...

Hey, Ricky!

You gotta be kidding me.

Guys, back on the other side of the fence.

You can't be over here.

Ricky! Ricky!

Come on, let's go inside.

What do you people want?

- Ellie.
- A sermon from the Mount?

Karellen tells us no more than he tells you.

Ahh!

Your lymph system is under huge strain.

White cells are going through a rapid metastasis.

Now, we can drastically reduce the rate of organ decay.

But, uh...

But you can't stop it.

I'm afraid it also explains why you haven't
been able to conceive a child.

Doc? Could you...

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

You can beat this.

Karellen said that there was
something in the fabric of the ship.

It poisoned me.

I don't think I can beat this, Els.

You did everything that they asked of you.

He won't let you down and he won't let you die.

I'm sorry.

- Hey, no, no, no. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry that I can't give you...

Come here.

This is me. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.

I need to talk to you.

We never had a normal life since you chose him.

We can't have real friends.

We don't have children.

You owe us, Karellen.

Help us!

Hello, stranger.

Jim.

What are you doing here?

Someone's gotta keep her spick-and-span.

How's the congregation?

We could almost muster a baseball team.

We miss you, Peretta.

I'm sorry, I've been busy.

Why are you shaking?

I thought that I was seeing a psychology case,

this boy with night terrors.

But it's much worse than that.

It stirred up spiritual instincts, I guess.

Things I haven't felt in a long time.

Why do they look like demons?
Like our exact idea of devils?

You know every time you ask me a question,
you already have an answer.

That's not true.

They look like our idea of devils
because they've been here before.

We've been waiting for them. We knew they were coming,

so when they brought about this change,

it scared us on some deep level.

- Because we could never stop it.
- That would imply some kind of

- crazy psychic...
- Yes!

Yes! Psychic connection.

People have been writing about this for centuries.

I mean, ancient mystics talked about an energy.

A relationship between all living things
and the stars themselves.

Perhaps we've always known the Overlords were coming.

Okay, so because of some crackpot ancient philosophy,

we knew they were coming to do good.

So then why turn them into the personification of evil?

Mmm.

Tom said he was taken here.

I know it's not possible, but that's what he described.

The Overlords, that there is their true colors.

But you've always known that.

You're being melodramatic.

Your mother knew it.

You used to always see things clearly through her eyes.

When did you go blind?

- Please don't bring up my mom.
- She died for her faith.

She killed herself because she lost it.

Never apologize for your faith.

Do you think that the Overlords are attacking this family?

Look at your cross.

They're attacking more than that.

Faith is on its last legs.

It's just we don't see it, 'cause they give us ice cream.

Oh.

There she is.

Oh, my gosh. Is that a little hand?

- Yeah.
- Hi, baby.

She's got a good strong heartbeat.

She's very pretty.

Names, names, names.

Jane?

Janey?

Oh!

Lauren?

Oh!

Argh!

You are going down!

Und now ve vill soak you viz da Supa-Duper-Soaking Device.

- Not me, Dad!
- Ja?

Get her! Get Jennifer!

Who's Jennifer?

Tom just said the strangest thing.

Jennifer.

What?

I know what to call the baby.

Oh.

That's where he got it from.

What?

I... I just thought of it then.

Nah, you must've mentioned it before.

It just popped into my head.

Divine inspiration.

No, Amy.

- You mentioned it to Tom.
- No, Jacob.

I didn't.

Do you like it?

Jennifer.

Mmm.

This is the problem.

We're gonna live forever but we don't have enough to do.

No wonder we feel like we're going out of our minds.

You're not going out of your mind.

Tom asked me the other day if he'd ever have a job.

I told him he didn't need one.

What kind of a message is that?

We need to reclaim some of what we had when we were kids.

- I see where this is going.
- Look, I made some calls.

Hold those horses.

- We're not moving to New Athens.
- Just to visit.

To see it.

It's living life the old way.

There is crime in New Athens.

God, I hope so.

And, uh, litter

and hot dog stands which are notoriously bad for you.

And you love.

But you know what else they have?

They have art and they have culture

and they're awake, Amy.

It might be good for all of us to remember

how things once were, you know, warts and all.

Do I seem happier to you?

Yes.

Am I still fighting demons in the dark?

No.

It's the baby, baby.

She's going to change everything for us.

Yes, Holy Mother.

Send thy angels to defend us.

All, ye, Holy Angels...

Hey!

- It's them.
- Peretta?

It's them. The Overlords.

- Hey. Turn the dial down.
- They...

- What... What about them?
- Are you hurt?

- What is going on?
- We're not hurt.

I don't know. I don't know.

- But they were here.
- It's, um, Peretta.

- The Overlords were here.
- They were here?

Their pod was here watching the house.

- What about Tom? Is Tom all right?
- Hey, hey, calm down.

Peretta! Just keep your voice down.

- I don't want him...
- Well, I'm not a hysterical person.

I am a person with faith.

When I was in your house last time,

I felt something,

and it did this.

Well, um, things are much better
since that day, uh, Peretta.

Tom's much better actually. And, uh,

you bringing it all up again is, uh, just...

It's going to upset him.

There is no such thing as evil, Peretta.

We're fine. Our family is fine.

Come inside, please.

Yeah.

Well, since that day I haven't been
able to stop thinking about it.

Tom told me they take him
somewhere to a place of fire and smoke...

If this is your idea of counseling

- then no wonder it's a dying profession.
- ...and he is scared.

Thank you for your spiritual concern, Peretta, but, uh,

my son does not take night trips to hell.

Thank you.

A paranormal eye to the soul or just a...

...harmless board game?

I've finalized the guest list.

Good.

I need to add these people to the guest list.

We're bringing these people all the way out to Africa?

Apparently, this is where the connection is strongest.

Connection to what?

Look, just get them here, all right?

The father's not important, but the mother and the child,

they have to be here, do you understand?

- This room was built for them.
- Sir,

it's not my place to question,

- but can't you demand that...
- No.

You don't make demands on Karellen.

The Overlords are deceiving us.

I don't know why but they are.

But for now, let's go back to Haansvelt, Missouri,

and the ongoing developments at Ricky Stormgren's farm,

where it seems that the crowds are growing, right?

Yes, as the newly energized Pilgrimage

continues to take hold at the Stormgren farm in Missouri,

followers and detractors alike
are asking the same question.

Why would the Overlords allow their prophet to suffer?

There has been a great outpouring
of support for Ricky Stormgren

since his return home from
the Hampstead Hospital, just six months ago.

Jake Greggson?

Yeah.

My name is Morton.

I work for Dr. Rupert Boyce.

Rupert Boyce?

I know that name.

He wants to redesign his game reserve
in the Haansvelt, South Africa.

We're inviting several designers to come visit.

I, uh, I do golf courses.

A lot of people play golf these days.

You don't fancy a fresh challenge?

That's a long way to come when you could've phoned.

Well, I had other business in California.

Hello. You must be Amy.

Hi.

This gentleman wants to fly me
to South Africa for a job interview.

Designing, um, a game reserve?

The whole family's invited.

Big party.

Kids can see the animals.

The other candidates will be there, too.

- Sounds amazing.
- Yeah. A little too amazing.

There aren't that many guys doing what you're doing, Jake.

You're special.

I'll think about it.

Of course.

If you're not comfortable flying out then that's fine.

Uh, what's the matter with you?

You say you're bored out of your mind.

He just pitches up and says
he's flying us to Africa? Come on.

What's the worst that could happen?

Go to a party in a beautiful place.

Jake, this is the adventure
you've been looking for, don't you think?

Hey.

Wait. Morton?

- Ellie?
- Ellie?

Please, just let me get by, okay?

Can you tell us anything?

Ellie, is there any news?

Just let me through, guys, okay?

We don't mean you no harm.

If there's anything we can do to help you,
just let us know.

Look, it's just my shopping, okay?

It's really not that interesting.

Any word?

- Oh, my God.
- Please just leave it.

Just leave it please. I'm fine.

- It's fine. Let me help.
- I'm fine.

Okay. I'll get out of your face.

I'm sorry.

I'm impressed. You're doing great.

Can you juggle the apples while you do that, too?

How about this?

I will take the bike, I'll wheel it to your front door,

and then you can frog-march me off your land.

Deal.

These children, they shouldn't be here.

None of you should. It really doesn't achieve anything.

Oh, I didn't come with them.

I'm a counselor.

I just thought these people seemed a little lost.

Like, they might need some support.

I mean, you and Ricky, you must feel
pretty isolated out here.

Thanks. I can, uh, take it from here.

"A golden dawn comes shining from the eyes of God."

Wow.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Wanna hear what I found in this text, Corpus Hermiticum?

I love discussing the Corpus Hermiticum
on a Saturday night.

I mean, what girl doesn't?

But do you wanna go to the party with me?

I mean, Karellen might be there

and everyone else from the center
is bringing their significant other.

I mean, not that we're, um...

Uh, yeah.

Great.

Run, run, run.

Like, side to side.

Yay!

Yeah, it can feel like a fortress here.

Everybody wants something.

A little communion wine?

Amen.

Oh.

What is that?

Aguardiente.

My mother used to take a drop every Saturday night.

Not too many drops, I hope.

I'm sorry.

Is she...

My mom was a missionary.

And when Karellen arrived,

he killed the need for God.

And so she killed herself.

Oh, Peretta, I'm sorry.

But I'm not sure that God ever really helped any of us.

I don't believe that.

He gave us diseases,

and when we found cures for those, he created new ones.

God was just this black void that we cried into.

But only the Overlords answered.

But, hey, if God wants to trump Karellen, bring it on.

Isn't there something in the Bible
about barren women having children?

If God's selling, then I'm buying.

You can't have children?

I should go.

Giraffes.

It's a whole herd of them.

Elephants. Down there.

Do you see them?

Here's my plus one.

Rachel.

What's wrong with me?

Uh...

Nothing.

Nothing at all. You look...

Your dress is...

Well, your dress is attractively symmetrical.

The way it, uh, yeah.

"Attractively symmetrical." Is that Keats?

No. Who's Keats?

And look at you. All dressed up to meet an Overlord.

What will you do if you see one?

Uh, buy him a drink and ask him some questions?

This is the kokoro symbol.

I had a pendant as a kid.

Lost it skinny-dipping in Lake Towada.

Means love.

Oh. Thank you.

Uh, I...

I'll go check your coat.

All of this is for an interview?

Excuse me, please.

Jake.

And family.

Pleasure's all mine.

- Thanks so much for coming out all this way.
- Hi.

And you must be Tom?

We have some exceptionally cool things for you to see.

- Are you game?
- Sure.

Morton, would you mind escorting
this young man to our Exhibit Room?

You are gonna love it. Lions and tigers and bears, oh, my!

Absolutely.

Hey, don't touch anything. It might bite.

He'll be fine.

So, um, how'd you wanna play this, Dr. Boyce?

I actually took the liberty of sketching a few ideas.

Let's just enjoy the party, shall we?

Mrs. Greggson, if I may?

Sure.

I promise I'll bring her back.

Dostoevsky, Orwell,

Dickens' stories came from characters
rising above their situation.

Who'd write Hard Times now?

Armistead Maupin wrote about the stigma of being gay.

My partner and I can kiss in the street
without raising a hair.

What the hell would Maupin write about now?

If you guys have a hankering for the past,
then I hear the place to go is New Athens.

Income tax and homophobia?

Book me a ticket.

So, you guys don't design golf courses, do you?

Oh, no.

We're from the World Federation.

No kidding.

Oh, hey, hey.

- Thanks.
- Of course.

Not your scene either?

Oh, I used to work with these bozos.

Don't knock it. A job's a rare commodity.

Life of leisure, huh? It's the dream.

Not my dream.

Milo Rodricks.

All right. Jake Greggson.

I actually came here for a job interview.

A job? I think you missed a beat.

I mean, Boyce is closing this place down,
he's not taking people on.

Not taking people on?

Then why the hell are we here?

I should probably get back inside.

Uh, here's my card.

Let me know how it turns out.

Hey.

- Tom back?
- Not yet.

Look, um...

I don't think this is about a job interview.

I don't know what it's about.

- You want to get out of here?
- Yeah.

I'll go find Tom.

All right, just give me a sec.

I'll be back.

What the hell's up with you?

He's here. He's actually here.

- Who?
- Karellen.

Ladies and gentlemen.

If I could have your attention, please.

I know we've all been waiting,

so without any further delay,
I'd like to introduce our special guest.

I give you the Supervisor for Earth.

Good evening, everyone.

So...

You have solved many of the problems
your science was chasing.

Disease. Climate change.

And as a consequence,
much of your research is now redundant.

Nevertheless, you should be proud
of what you have accomplished.

Bravo.

Now I know there's been some concern

as to why I acquired so many animals for the Overlords.

They are to be shipped to Karellen's home world

as part of a great menagerie, a zoo.

They will not be harmed and they will live longer.

Supervisor, I wanted to...

- I wanted to ask about the...
- Not now, Rodricks.

You're killing scientific curiosity.

I admire the work you have done,

but your scientific curiosity has led you dangerously close

to forces that you could never have controlled.

They would have destroyed you.

They saved us from ourselves.

Why are we being kept in the dark?

You now have peace and the way
has been prepared for your successors.

I'd like to thank everybody who worked
on the World Federation Observation Orbital.

I'd like to probably turn that into an acronym as well.

Um, and, uh, please enjoy the rest of the evening.

Mrs. Greggson, I realize
this might seem like an odd request

but the Supervisor would like to meet with you privately.

Uh, I'm sorry, why does he want to meet with me?

I'm not entirely sure,
but if I were you I'd take it as a compliment.

Dinosaurs ruled the world for 200 million years.

What happened to them?

I guess they just had their time.

Wait a second, I've been here.

- I've seen these.
- Now, hold on, son.

I want to find Dad.

Just... Just give them more time.

More time for what, Mr. Morton?

You're going to tell me why we're really here.

But first you're going to let go of my son.

We're not trying to hurt anyone, Jake.

Believe me, we just need more time.

Like I said, more time for what?

Mrs. Greggson, if I could introduce Karellen.

Perhaps you could explain to us what the room is for?

Step up onto the platform.

I want you to put your hand on the disk.

Karellen, I think it would be nice
if you could give us an explanation

as to what you're expecting from us.

I'm expecting nothing from you, Dr. Boyce.

Amy, trust me.

Please do as I ask.

You will find a new voice inside
you that I can now speak with.

You need to trust us.

Okay, I want a gyro waiting for us outside right now.

Tom, come on.

Tom!

Don't fight.

You've been fighting from the beginning.

She's not fighting.

I'm not talking to Amy.

You cannot protect the Earth.

You must accept what you are.

I don't understand what's happening.

I'm asking you to stop until you explain it to us.

You know who you really are and what you are joined with.

So tell me and tell yourself.

You are singular and myriad.

One and many.

Reveal yourself to me.

Reveal yourself to me.

Karellen.

Listen to my voice.

You're trying to be a child.

But, you cannot be a child knowing yourself as you do.

Tom.

Listen to my voice.

This has to stop.

Accept who you are.

You're hurting her.

Don't touch us!

I hear you. I'm coming.

Tom!

Tom, wait!

Tom!

Tom!

Jennifer. She's awake.

No!

Tom!

It is done.

She is awake.

She accepts and she understands.

Now they will follow.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, hey, Tom?

Hey, hey, Tom?

Hey.

Tom?

Hey.

Dad, I'm so sorry.

It's Jennifer. She's so strong.

No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Oh, my God.

It's their alphabet.

That's what it is, it stands for their alphabet.

Can I... Sorry.

Have you got something to write with,
anything like a pen, something?

- I... Um...
- Lipstick, yeah, that's perfect.

- Oh, that...
- Sorry. It was a connection.

What we saw was a conversation between down here

and something up there using their language.

That's Herve Leger Red and it's my favorite.

All right, so, each symbol is a letter in their alphabet.

And I think that they base their alphabet
on constellations.

That's why you draw all over your star charts.

I've charted every letter I can find.

This one is new.

I recognize the pattern, Rachel.

We got to go.

Okay.

Amy?

Jake!

- Jake.
- Amy.

Honey...

Please, please, can we just go?

Okay.

Stay away from us.

Tom.

Why would Karellen want to connect with your unborn child?

Aims, keep walking.

What is it you're carrying?

I saw something, a vision...

I don't even know.

Amy, let's go.

- I don't...
- Come on.

I'm sorry.

What was it I saw, Amy?

You see?

Now, you see, each symbol is a star system,

but none of them can support planetary life,
which I found odd.

So, this symbol, this letter...

Only it's not a symbol.

It's a constellation, the Carina system.

And this one is different.

It's the only system with planets.

That is the home world of the Overlords.

Son of a bitch.

All right, all right, settle down.

- I need to go on through.
- No one's getting through.

She's my friend.

She needs me.

Call me crazy but I'd hoped you'd be back.

Well, better to embrace acceptance than hope, Ricky.

Well, don't knock it.

It worked.

When you disappeared all those years ago,
I kind of felt offended.

I guess I got used to being pals with God.

Whenever you summon God, you want comfort.

Yet the very idea of him makes you confused and afraid.

He is a stick that you feel you must lean on.

But the stick burns.

On the bench.

It is for you.

What is it?

Ricky, we have no need to apply
our resources to save our own lives.

Will it save my life?

This can repair the damage to your body.

It's very difficult to make.

This is all there is of it.

Forgive me, we should have met sooner.

Yes, we should have.

It's been hard, what Ricky has had to do.

It's harder still on the one who has to wait.

The one who can only watch but never follow.

It is even harder on those who cannot accept.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who's this?

Peretta, what are you doing here?

Whatever it promised you, it is a lie.

You lied to them. You lied to us all.

They deserve the truth.

You made your prophet sick.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- They can't have children.

Tell them the truth about what you really are.

The truth.

The truth is that your illness did not make you sterile.

That was my doing.

You said that that was from going to the ship.

That it was a mistake.

No.

I have stopped you having children.

Ellie?

Maybe you don't know
as much as you think about us, Karellen.

But you see that we are meant to have children,

to raise and to love and to watch grow.

Yes.

You robbed us of a family, after everything we did for you!

- Hey.
- Stop.

Let it go.

No.

No, they never wanted what was best for us.

They want to destroy us.

How could you do this?

I sold you to the world.

The day is coming, Ricky,
when your world will change forever.

It will be harder on those who have children.

I cannot stop that.

We are not masters but merely the servants,

but I could spare you the pain of being parents.

No. How dare you!

It is not your right to decide!

- No.
- Enough!

Oh, my friend.

I just wanted to spare you the pain of what is coming.

What's coming?

Karellen, what happens to the children?

I chose you.

Out of all the world...

I chose you.

Let it die!

Whether I am alive or dead,

makes no difference to what is coming.

You will never take away my faith.

All the world's religions cannot be right, Peretta.

You know that.

Your faith is beautiful as poetry is beautiful.

But there is no place for it now.

You... You deceived us.

No, you have deceived yourselves.

No.

Nine million species.

How did he pick them?

Was it just a random lottery?

Out of a hat?

Who? Karellen?

Noah, for his Ark.

Peretta.

Mom.

Push.

Hang in there, Amy. Concentrate, come on.

Push!

There you go. That's it.

You're almost there. Come on.

Here we go. One more push, honey. She's almost here.

She's coming.

There we go.

Oh!

There she is.

Here's your baby.

It's your daughter.

She's beautiful.

Jennifer.
