♪♪

There's rioting breaking out throughout the city.

Fires continue to burn everywhere.

Troops are shooting people.

My God, I... I don't know why.

There's a woman dying in front of me, and no one's helping her.

There are conflicting reports about who or what started the chaos.

Will someone tell me what's happening?

This is madness.

What is this world coming to?

This is incredible.

I've got a hundred PhDs working on this problem,

and we've got nothing.

Water from the emergency reservoirs will buy us a week,

if we're lucky.

What the hell is holding up the problem with the inlet valve?

We've gotta have that water on the line now.

Do you understand?

Not in front of the car. Come over here.

Roll.

My friends, as you well know,

this city is experiencing an unprecedented heat wave.

I want to thank you for what you've done so far

to conserve water and eliminate the use of electricity and air conditioning.

I am confident that with your cooperation,

we can weather this crisis.

It's almost empty. Needle's on the red.

How much is in the reserve tank?

This is the reserve tank.

I'm here right now at the Metropolitan Treatment Plant

to personally supervise

the channeling of the emergency water supply

into the city's lines.

And it's simply a matter of time before that will happen.

- Let us in! - In the meantime...

I urge you to familiarize yourself

with the temporary water rationing plan.

Water, water, water, water, water, water.

Please, water.

Water, water, water.

- Give us water! - Water, water...

I want to commend you

for your patience in this difficult situation.

Debi!

- She's burning up. - That's dehydration.

- I'll get the cot. - Move the table.

Debi, honey, can you hear me?

Okay. Make sure she keeps drinking,

but don't give her too much.

We're gonna find some water.

Look, they're killing people out there for a taste of the stuff.

You can't buy or steal a bottle. I know. I've tried.

We'll have to try again.

And it will only be a matter of 24 hours

before that water supply is coming to you.

I assure you, help is at hand.

This is the main inlet.

What the hell is this stuff?

I've never seen anything like that.

Looks like some kind of plant or something.

Let's burn it off.

No.

All the city's water is trapped behind that thing.

What the hell do you want me to do?

I don't know.

It's no use.

The rising temperature is causing the bubbles to become unstable.

If we don't deal with the problem, we'll lose the originals.

What do you propose? The heat is constant.

Only by reducing the body temperature

and keeping the liquids at a constant level

can we hope to salvage them.

They're quite delicate.

What kind of life form bases itself on water

when the water supply cannot be depended on?

Their imperfection doesn't change their needs or our own.

If they die, their clones die, too,

and we've wasted precious resources for nothing.

So?

We could move them.

If we place the bodies in the same treatment plant

as the diverted water supply,

they can be kept alive.

Condensation in the water pipes

keeps the surrounding air mass at a constant 100 degrees.

Do you agree, Mana?

There is something in this.

We have to move the human originals to a new location,

or we lose them.

Yes. Yes, that's fine.

What are you reading?

A book.

No, a blueprint for human control.

It might allow us to put a more effective and permanent solution

than your drug plan into action.

The Holy Bible?

Withholding their water is working.

Why disrupt it?

I wouldn't disrupt anything.

I have made a point of studying this in detail.

They live their lives by it.

So what?

Why should this interest me?

Because control is the answer to our immediate problem.

The Eternal demands it.

What does this book have to do with it?

Just this: In times of trial like this water crisis,

humans flock to meeting houses and beg their invisible god for deliverance.

Of course, their god never answers them.

What's it got to do with us?

Imagine what might happen if we answered their needs for them

through a spokesperson... One who could secure their trust,

one who could represent our interests.

Yeah! Get him! Get that guy!

Open it, or we'll kill you.

No way.

We're gonna take that water!

You either walk away now, or your friends take you to the morgue.

Now.

We're dying.

Give him some water.

I can't.

It's not worth someone dying.

Oh, my God, look at it!

Hand one over. Hand one over.

- Get me some. - Move away. Move away.

- Go on. Get outta here. - Thank you.

Okay, how much for a bottle?

Hey, you saved my skin.

Take two.

Return to your homes.

I repeat: return to your homes.

Water service has been temporarily interrupted.

Rationing is in effect and will be strictly enforced.

Anyone caught opening city hydrants

will be taken into custody immediately.

Return to your homes.

I repeat: return to your homes.

It won't be much longer. Better rest.

You can stay as long as you wish.

We'll have something for you soon.

Grace?

It's Mr. Kincaid.

John.

Hi, Steven.

Let us pray silently

that we may be delivered from this drought.

Have you come to join us in prayer? We could use your help.

I just dropped in to see how you were making out.

It's been a long time.

Times are hard,

but God gives us strength.

Good to see you, John.

And you, Thomas.

I thought you might be able to use this.

John!

You've answered our prayers. You have indeed, John.

Well, He does work in mysterious ways, Reverend.

We're all being tested,

but we shall not be found wanting.

Everyone will share. There's enough.

Thanks, John.

You're a lifesaver.

You saved my life once.

Oh, come on.

It was your own stubborn will, and you know it.

Maybe.

But you were the person that helped me through it.

Probably would've given up without you.

It was my job.

Anyway...

Oh, that was a long time ago, wasn't it?

The Lord be praised!

Amen!

Take care of him, Gracie.

Bye, Steven.

There is a very small church

led by a man who truly believes in the power of his god.

Will he be suitable?

He is what they call a man of faith.

If we can change the focus of his belief,

we can have them all.

It's simply a matter of using this crisis to redirect his religious zeal.

It seems very simple.

The drought is driving them into despair,

and they're grabbing at anything or anyone

who will give them water.

That's a part of it. But imagine the next step.

We give them someone who can create a miracle...

A phenomenon for which there is no rational explanation.

Everything has a rational explanation.

Yes, but they don't understand that.

They believe in divine power,

and that's all that is important.

We will give them a deliverer, a prophet,

a messiah.

Messiah.

Just as we diverted the water,

we can divert the human's faith from their god

to the eternal spirit of Morthrai.

This is it.

I want you to get some rest.

I don't want two casualties here.

Well, this should last a while.

Oh, look!

What is it?

- Rats. - Where?

They're looking for water, just like we are.

Oh, sh...

If this heat keeps on building up,

there are gonna be more rats than you can kill.

I've gotta get Debi out of here.

We're all gonna get out of here.

Well, I know a place we can go.

Good. Get what you need.

I've never seen you so scared before.

I'm scared all the time.

You know what really scares me the most?

When you and my mom and Harrison all go out,

I get scared that you'll never come back.

You know what keeps us coming back, don't you?

You.

Do you copy, Central Control? Central Control.

Emergency situation. I've got a red 51 1.

Where's our backup?

- At Quadrant 7, Block 320. - Hey!

Got a riot in progress. Where the hell's our backup?

- There's something in there. - Whoa!

Dear Lord, forgive us our sins and trespasses.

We turn to Thee for deliverance.

We fear not death, for indeed we have everlasting life.

It can't go on much longer.

It will rain soon.

I mustn't give up hope.

Our Lord was sorely tried.

His spirit grew stronger while His body weakened.

We all have that strength.

Friends, it's very hard to go on.

I know.

But we will find strength

in one another and in ourselves.

Dear God,

we are willing.

We are waiting to serve you.

Help us in our hour of need!

There's water in the church!

Oh, thank you.

How well do you know him?

Good enough to know he's a devout man.

There's no water anyplace else in town. How do you explain that?

I can't. I just trust Grace's judgment.

I think we should check out the plumbing in the church's basement.

- So where'd this water come from? - Give it back to me!

We prayed. We have water now.

No. No. There's enough.

There's enough for everyone.

If there was water in any of these pipes, they'd be cold.

Nothing.

That font has got to be fed from someplace.

"And the multitude said,

"" We have here but five loaves and two fishes.'

"Jesus said, 'Bring them to me, '

"and he took the five loaves and two fishes

"and gave them to his Disciples and to the multitude.

"And they did all eat,

5,000 men, women, and children."

How could they be led to believe in such fantasy?

They've been conditioned since infancy.

Now they're flocking from all over the city.

They're turning to Reverend Solter for the answers to their prayers.

I'll take care of him now.

This is their boy.

It wasn't hard for us to lure him away in all the excitement.

Who are you?

What are you going to do to me?

Take him to the water treatment plant.

A cloning chamber has been installed there.

No! No! Let me go! No!

John, have you seen Steven?

Not since this morning.

It's getting late. He shouldn't be out in this heat.

- I'll go find him. - No, no, I can go.

I just was wondering if... if...

Grace, you're exhausted.

Oh.

I've been keeping him in since this heat wave started.

I guess he's just probably out on his bike somewhere.

Don't worry. I'll find him.

We're directly under the font.

Harrison, does that look familiar?

What the hell is that?

Why is this here?

Have you got your sample vial?

Okay, the knife is open. The blade is very sharp.

You worked a miracle, Reverend.

It's not me. It's God's miracle.

Oh, but God chose you to be His messenger,

our deliverer from this drought.

If I'm able to serve, I will, in any way I can.

God bless you, Reverend.

God bless you.

Steven!

This is a curfew warning.

- I repeat: a curfew warning. - Hey, man, have you seen a small boy?

- Curfew is in ten minutes. - Have you seen this?

Any person without a visa or permit will be arrested.

This is a curfew warning.

Bacteria, chlorine, fluoride...

Everything we get out of the city taps.

If this membrane is carrying city water,

they could've blocked the whole system.

We're gonna have to find this blockage and remove it.

Where is he? I want to see him.

What's the matter there?

I'm in such pain.

If the water from the font is holy,

perhaps it can help me.

Heal me, please. Heal me.

It's just water.

I can't heal.

I'm sorry.

You can heal me. You can do it.

I can't work miracles. I'm sorry.

But you can. I saw you.

We all saw you.

Please, Reverend, help me.

You've been given a gift.

Do you believe in the power of God?

Do you?

Just touch me, please.

I'm healed!

It's a miracle.

I'm healed!

Another miracle.

I'm healed!

- I'm healed! - Oh, save me.

Steven!

Steven?

Oh, God. No.

No.

Steven.

The point is gravity says

that the blockage has to be above the tunnel of this reservoir.

So we're gonna go down there and follow the pipes.

Yeah.

You know, I can do this on my own.

No. It's okay.

Go on.

Where's the feed for this reservoir?

That's up in the north.

Which is that way.

Let's go.

I don't know what to think, Grace.

If God has chosen to work through you, you must accept it.

Thomas, you've always taken on other people's problems.

Now maybe you can do more.

Do you think that somehow I've been given a gift?

Oh, Thomas, I don't know.

Grace, what's happening to me?

Steven!

Steven! No-o-o!

No! Steven! No!

Grace...

Don't quote Scripture to me, Thomas.

How could God do this?

How could he take away my baby?

I'm so sorry, Grace.

Why?

Why? He was a boy.

I don't know.

I wish he'd never lived at all.

- You don't mean that. - Yes, I do.

Why give him to us to take him away?

I can't bear this.

My life is such a waste.

Nobody's life is a waste.

Steven's life brought you and Thomas joy and gave you something to live for.

What do I have now? Tell me, what?

All those years I spent caring

for the sick and the wounded, the dying.

When Steven was born, I thought he was a gift from God.

I was wrong.

Yeah, this is where the water should be coming in.

Come on.

I guess we have to start somewhere.

What's the matter, Suzanne?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Yeah. This way. Come on.

♪♪

My friends,

I've counseled you not to turn away from God,

but to trust in Him

and to know that those who He has chosen

are with Him in everlasting life.

We must now do the same.

It is hard to let go of the living,

especially one so young,

so innocent.

Jesus stood before the tomb of Lazarus,

surrounded by the faithful,

and he asked his father for help.

"Rise. Come forth. Live again."

Our Steven now lives again

in the house of the Lord...

and forever in our hearts.

Daddy?

Praise God!

- Praise God! - Steven!

What have you done?

Thomas, your son was dead. The dead stay that way.

I don't know. I have no explanation.

Don't give me that line!

Who's using you?

What are you talking about?

I never thought you'd sell out.

How could you drag Grace through this?

You saw what I saw.

Reverend, are you all right?

Who are you?

I have come to give you inspiration and courage.

Leave me alone.

It is time, Thomas Solter,

that you saw the face of the one true god.

What... What are you saying to me?

There's something funny going on here. Have you seen your mom and Harrison?

Not since we got here.

Okay, stay put here. Stick close to Grace.

Where are you going?

To find out what the reverend's up to.

I'll be back.

Looks like we're finally getting there.

Harrison, wait. I can't do this.

- I gotta get out of here. - Suzanne...

Suzanne... Suzanne...

- No! Let me go! - Suzanne! Suzanne, get a hold of yourself!

- We don't even know... - Hey!

They could be anywhere!

Suzanne!

Now listen to me. Look into my eyes.

Listen to me. It's as far to go back now as it is to go forward.

Do you understand me? Do you understand?

Yes. Okay.

Now let's get you a light.

We're gonna go into that tunnel.

You'll be with me. I'll be right behind you.

Okay?

Yeah.

Here's your light.

Okay. Let's go.

I'm right here.

It's okay.

It's okay. I'm right behind you.

You're doing real good.

Okay.

Malzor, they're trying to release the water!

Get to the treatment plant. The inlet must remain blocked.

This way.

Steven.

Steven, what have they done to you?

My God!

Who are you?

I'm an angel of the Eternal,

and soon you'll be at one with him.

- Rats in here. - Yeah.

It's us! Over here.

What are you doing here?

Come on!

I'm gonna send a charge.

All right.

Give me some time. Thomas is in here somewhere.

Where's Debi?

- She's okay, but I think they cloned Steven. - What?

You missed a couple of miracles arranged by our alien friends.

Okay, it's set.

Let's go find Thomas.

Go!

Okay.

Cover us.

They're cloning here.

We've gotta find the apparatus and destroy it.

Our priority is to return water to the city.

We don't have time to make a search of this place.

Is he alive? Steven...

Just tell me what you remember.

Oh, yeah.

I was out on my bicycle,

and I had an accident, and I woke up here.

What kind of accident?

Tell me, please.

I was out on my bicycle,

and I had an accident,

and I woke up here.

Grace,

I've seen the face of the one true god.

I'll drive.

Get in back.

Come on!

We're in. Go.

The hour has come

that I may glorify his power over all flesh

and bring everlasting life to all who will embrace him.

- Yes. - Do you believe in me?

Yes.

Do you believe in the one who sent me?

Yes.

An eternal light has come into the world,

and whoever believes shall no longer live in darkness.

But you shall live in the Eternal.

- Yes! - Amen!

Come on.

- Get me in there. - Can you make it?

- I have to. - I'll get Steven.

The Eternal will love you

and fill your lives with everything you need.

- Yes. - You will know what Adam knew in the garden,

that you will never know hunger or thirst,

that you will always be sheltered and protected.

Oh, yes.

I was crippled.

Now I am healed.

He brought me back to life.

- He did. - Come.

Follow me.

Please let me through. Please let me...

I... I gotta get through.

Please. Please.

Please, I'm Thomas. I'm Thomas. Please.

- Father Thomas. - Steven! Steven!

Let me through!

If you love me, rejoice,

for you will soon have never-ending life.

And he of pure form and light

will come before us

and you will see the face of God.

Let us in!

Eternal!

Eternal. Eternal.

- Eternal. Eternal. - Debi!

- Eternal. - Mom?

- Oh. - Eternal.

- Oh! - Eternal.

Eternal. Eternal.

Eternal. Eternal. Eternal.

Eternal. Eternal.

You listen... listen to me.

Listen to me!

This is a hoax.

It's true.

He's trying to trick you.

It will strike you down

and cleans this place with holy presence.

He has come.

Trust the good sense the Lord gave you.

These demons have come to close the gates to paradise.

We must exorcise this evil.

We have reason.

We have will.

We can judge for ourselves what's right.

You're not puppets.

- Is this water a trick? - No.

- That poor woman? - No.

- My son raised from the dead? - No.

- They saw the miracle themselves. - No.

Now the Eternal comes.

He'll bring your... your dreams.

Amen!

How much now? Now!

None. There's interference. Tremendous electrical interference.

We made the world

and our lives what they are,

and only we can make them better.

There is a simple answer.

Don't... Don't you under...

Thomas...

This is a miracle.

Mom?

- Just rest. - Mmm.

You gotta go on, Grace, for his sake.

He never gave in.

He never turned his back on his beliefs.
