What the hell's going on?

Human, you've been found guilty of actions and conduct against the Gua.

This sentence is final.

Prepare.

Yes.

In 1564, Nostradamus predicted the destruction of Earth in three terrifying

waves. The first wave is here.

My name is Cade Foster.

These are my journals.

They killed my wife, framed me for murder.

Now I run, but I don't hide.

With the prophecies of Nostradamus as my guide, I seek them, I hunt them.

I will stop the first wave.

The Gua flag hangs over the capital city of the United States, and I can only

presume that my worst nightmare has come to life, that humanity has lost to the

Gua.

But how?

I have no memory of the invasion, nor the battle that must have lost its

control of our planet.

Come here.

Don't worry, I ain't guado. I look like it.

Look, I've got six computer parts, a couple of cans of fruit, condoms, and

these are new.

I'm in here, man. I don't want no Petrusias.

Who are you? No names, man. I've got what you need. That's all you need to

know. Let's make a deal.

I got no money. Money? I want your shoes, brother.

I need some answers. Hey, I got to go on that computer converter. How about a

carton of smokes?

Listen, I need... Okay, okay. The smokes on the converter for the watch and all

you things. Where am I?

What year is it?

Say, let go, brother.

Hands off.

What year? Hey, man, I know you. What year?

Eleven.

Eleven? It's the day of judgment, man. I mean, let go.

The day of judgment.

Is that what we want to call it?

Stay still.

No registry brand.

Where is it? I don't know what you're talking about. Where's your brand?

What's your game here, huh? What are you, a looter? A roller?

No.

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

You're dead, human.

Hey, hold up.

What's wrong?

That's Kate Foster.

Get out of here. I'm serious. Look at him.

What happened to your registration, Brent?

I never got one.

Figures. Name of all people. They forgot.

Well, don't you think you ought to have one, Brent?

The next control team you run into might not be as understanding as us.

Yes, ma'am.

I guess I should go on.

Yeah, look, get down to the registry. There's an office a few blocks away, all

right? Get yourself a Brent.

I think I'll watch this.

Help to make a better tomorrow for Gwa and human together.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hey.

You're looking lovely, Claire.

Thank you.

Good night.

Stay back. I've got a knife.

Please, don't be afraid. I just need to ask you some questions.

Oh, my God.

Kate Foster?

What are you doing here?

How do you know me?

Are you kidding?

No, my... My memory's a little... You're only the most famous human in the world.

Famous?

Well, why am I so famous?

Is this some kind of joke?

You don't know?

No, I don't.

You're only on the Gwanet, like, 24 hours a day.

The what?

What's wrong with you? The Gwanet.

Everybody's got one. It's mandatory.

Someone stole the camera. Damn it.

Ever since they've banned locks in human residences, we've had nothing but

looters running all over the place.

Let me pull up the public service announcements.

It's impossible.

Humanity was headed for destruction.

Wars, famine, pollution, disease.

We were doomed.

Then, in answer to our unspoken cry for help, the Gua came to this planet.

Like caring parents, they have reorganized and re-educated a dying

planet.

They made it whole again.

Lies! Every word's a lie!

What, you didn't write that?

Of course not!

It's been on the Gwanet since year one.

Everyone believes you.

It's what keeps us going.

I didn't write a word of that crap.

Then who did?

They did!

Claire, I have no memory of what happened since the invasion.

It's like a black slate.

There's something wrong here.

They're using me.

I don't understand. They must have used computers to generate a fake image.

You said so yourself.

I feel fine.

What you're saying is treason.

Maybe you just need to relax.

Get a little re-education.

I'm close with an important Gua official. I'm sure that he... Claire, I

know who I am.

And I know what the Gua are.

They're our saviors.

They saved us from destruction. They're destroyers.

It's against GWAA principle to harm a human being. Read the GWAA net. I don't

need to read their lies.

I know the killers.

And I can prove it.

I should never have agreed to come here.

This area's off limits to humans.

For good reason.

What is it?

See for yourself.

Human, you've been convicted of uttering an insult to a GWAA superior.

Have been deemed resistant to re-education. What? Keep watching.

Please give me another chance.

Please.

Fire when ready.

I don't believe it. Believe it, Claire.

That's what we have to fight.

And I need your help.

They said it was an emergency.

Why'd you call?

I wanted to see you, Joshua.

I'm busy, Claire. I don't have time for this. I want you.

You're not the one who determines when we meet.

Joshua's card is different than mine.

It'll give us access to the human registry files.

I do it every day.

It's my job.

I'm sorry.

What's his name?

Edward Nambulous.

N-A-M-B-U-L-O-U-S.

That's an odd name.

He's an odd guy.

And he was my partner before the invasion.

He was one of my real journals on the internet.

He can help make sense of this.

Sorry.

He must be dead.

I wouldn't count him out just yet.

Anambulus was an alias.

He was born Larry Pacinski. Try P-I-S-I-N-S-K-I.

Bingo.

Lives in the fourth quarter.

It's on the outskirts of the city.

Yes, my little ones.

Time for a little snack.

Gotta grow big and strong, just like your papa.

Eddie!

Eddie, it's me.

You son of a bitch.

Get away from me, you traitor.

Eddie! I won't be part of your damn propaganda.

I never made those announcements.

What are you going to say? They were computer generated? They were!

You know me, Eddie.

You know I'd rather die than give in to those bastards.

You know, I got no idea how I got here or how the second wave came down.

I am loyal to Goa.

Together we succeed.

Together we can make it. It's not a test, Eddie!

Look, no registration brand.

Like you couldn't get rid of a brand?

Look, man, I didn't fall off a turnip truck.

I believe him.

Oh, that's a comfort.

Who the hell are you? Her name is Claire, Eddie, and we risked our lives

to find you.

I don't know if I was brainwashed or what, but I'm back, and I'm here to pick

up the fight.

Eddie, deep down, I know you got an instinct about this, about me.

You got to trust that instinct.

You didn't sell out?

Hell no.

After the war, they started installing the Big Brother stuff.

We were bombarded with thousands of hours of information and public service

messages. And I became poster boy for the Gwar. Well, yeah, at first I thought

it was fake, you know, or then that they were forcing you, and, you know, and

then you start to wonder, and you start to doubt, and...

I'm sorry, Foster.

Hey.

How'd you survive?

You know, my records as Larry Pazinski were clean.

I got a menial job, and... I survived.

You stopped fighting?

It was either give up or die.

Besides, I started getting convinced that you'd given up too, man.

I'd rather die than give up.

Eddie, I got an idea of how to hit back.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Foster. I got it pretty good here, man.

I got my bonsai arrangements, got my gladiolas.

I've got a little patch of low quads, man. My rebel days are done.

Eddie! I'm risking death just having this little talk with you. We did it

once before. We can do it again.

No, no, it's over. We lost, Foster. There's no resistance.

Then we'll start one. No, the guac control, communication, the military,

everything. We can beat them.

How?

Well, first off...

You can stop watering my feet.

Sorry, man.

16 major cities were attacked simultaneously by a Gua ground force 10

million strong.

Gua predictions were true.

19 million died on the first day.

As soon as the United Nations declared humanity's surrender,

The gloss spin doctors made it seem as if we'd willingly accepted their rule.

So it was all for nothing. What?

Our whole deal, tracking experiments, writing the journals.

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things, it was a total failure.

Thought I could think that we helped a couple people along the way.

What is this guy? He looked all over the place.

Sponsor?

Gee, man, surprised to see you. I thought you were a goner for sure.

Listen, you said you had computer parts.

Who are these two?

Friends of mine.

Psychopathetic?

I got all kinds of guanac here.

Camera screen blockers, you name it. How about a high-band converter?

You're talking serious stuff, man.

Expiration on site, you get caught with one of those.

You got one or not?

Maybe.

This is a high-band. It's a regular converter.

Take it or leave it.

I can probably adapt to our purposes.

How much do you want?

These four credits.

And a half hour with her.

Forget it.

Well, that's my final offer.

Cade.

I do it for the Gua.

I might as well do it for us. No deal.

Run!

I need some answers. Right here, right here. Hey, let him.

Gua, it's live.

There's no resistance.

Programs on pause, process, and stasis.

Where do you want to go now, Kane?

Let's deepen this relationship with you.

She's not me. She's a virtual construct.

Claire and Joshua exist only in the confines of the program.

Sir, Salta is very harmful. Yes, yes, Gia.

I read the manual.

It makes me feel...

real

good.

Now, thank you.

We're only in these human bodies for a short time.

You should take advantage of the pleasures.

Manipulate the Darsalis region.

That'll increase fear quotient and anxiety.

We want to impair his deductive reasoning capabilities.

That way he'll accept this virtual reality without question.

Sir, there's a risk of permanent brain damage.

Go too far, he won't come back.

My job is to extract the location with the Nostradamus book.

I don't give a damn about preserving his brain.

Back to work, Jim.

The Rosales region.

When it became clear we were going to lose the war, I took cautionary

measures.

Oh,

man.

I haven't been down here in eight years.

The trailer?

You buried it?

Hey, man.

Never knew when it might come in handy.

Got a pre-war generator buried outside the trailer.

For power.

Nice going, Eddie.

What do you plan on doing exactly?

We're going to try a pirate broadcast to the Gwanda.

What for?

Claire, there could be thousands of people just like you.

We'd fight back if they knew the truth.

We have to reach those people.

What makes you think they believe you?

We have to start somewhere.

Can you do it, Eddie?

I clip things ancient, man.

Like using a bow and arrow to fight a nuclear war.

Just the kind of challenge you like.

Yeah.

It's like I left it.

Maybe a little dust here.

Like falling off a bike, you never forget how.

Action.

My name is Cade Foster.

And I'm here to tell you the truth.

The Gua aren't our saviors.

They're destroyers.

Everything the Gua have told you is a lie.

Everything you've heard from me on the announcements is a lie.

uttered by a computer-generated image.

19 million people died on the first day of invasion, and many others after.

But that's a little secret covered up by re-education.

The Gua want to control you.

They want to turn us all into slaves.

They're parasites, predators, monsters.

Rise with me.

Become the resistance and take back our planet.

Open your eyes and see the Gua for what they really are.

It's a wrap.

It's going to take me a couple of hours to upload this to the GuaNet, so maybe

you want to go up and get some fresh air.

They stripped us of everything we had.

Our dignity.

Our freedom.

The people that just listened to you in the first place, we could have avoided

this.

Slavery.

It's not over yet.

How can we possibly win against them now?

A resistance starts with one.

Then a few.

Then many.

The Guav always underestimated us.

People are gonna die.

People are dying.

It's over, Foster.

Run!

Nice to see you again.

Kane,

what are you doing?

I'm drinking. him out.

Why? We're getting close.

All part of breaking him down.

Besides, I'm having fun.

Hello, 117.

It's an honor and a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Josh.

Unfortunately, you're under misconception.

I'm known as Kane.

And this is my lovely assistant, Gia.

Claire.

How did I get here?

Don't you remember?

He thought you were meeting Joshua to get crucial information.

But Joshua is no longer possessor of this house.

And now, I get my chance to play.

my dear friend.

But most of all, the location of the monster Donald Spock.

Go to hell.

I'm already there, friend.

It's called Earth.

Too bad you won't remember any of this.

Reset and put him back on her.

Let her go, Joshua.

I might.

I propose to foster.

I'd like you to get on the Gwynedd and declare your allegiance to our race in

exchange for the life of this girl.

Life is your whore?

Keep her quiet.

We own your planet.

You and your people are our slaves. That won't change.

Don't be so sure.

I'm giving you the chance to save a life here.

How human.

Whatever happened to you, Joshua?

Never thought you'd come to this.

Will you accept the mighty beneficence of the Gua, Kate Foster?

Never.

The pressure on his hypothalamus is reaching acute levels.

Meaning?

Meaning if we don't find a location of the book soon, he'll cause brain damage.

If he's impaired, he'll be worthless to us.

Gee, gee, gee.

Why do you doubt me?

Sir.

I'm sorry, but our mission was clearly laid out by the Assembly.

Bring him down to the lowest cycle.

Sir, that'll cause... Do it!

What's wrong?

I told

them no way, man.

And then they threatened the only couple of friends that I managed to meet here.

They had that book, so they couldn't find it.

Oh, man, I don't even know if I can find it anymore. It's been so long.

Cornell State Park.

Campsite 6.

Oh, I know.

I know, right?

Right, Campsite 6.

You got me back into this thing again.

You still have a chance, Foster.

Skip the small talk.

Pledge your allegiance to the Gua.

He will spare your life.

You're wasting your breath, alien.

Prepare for termination.

Execute the human.

I want to say goodbye to an old friend.

Hey, Foster!

No.

Hey, right after this, Joshua and I are going to go pick up that little book.

Grinnell State Park, campsite number six.

What can I say, man? Stuff happens.

You son of a bitch.

You son of a bitch! Do it!

Kane, we have a malfunction.

Who cares?

We have the locale of the Nostradamus block.

The system's been attacked. Some kind of virus.

Isn't there backup power?

Yeah. One second.

Initiating backup sensors.

Foster said the Nostradamus book was here.

If he was lying, it would have read on the detective.

You'd better be right.

My program has failed, says King.

We'll get the book and you'll be a hero to the assembly.

Yes, I will.

Then maybe you can teach me more about the pleasures of humanity.

Perhaps you're more likelier than you'd care to admit.

Sir!

There it is.

Of course you should open a cane.

This is your victory.

This moment

will be forever. remembered in the history of the Gua.

The human race has lost all hope.

You're complaining?

If we hadn't planted the locator and listening device on you, you'd be dead.

Locator keyed me into where you were, planted a virus in their system

overloading the power source, and boom, you escaped.

I feel like I'm going to get hit by a cement truck.

You know, from what I overheard, they were doing some pretty nasty things to

your mind.

Found out why we haven't heard from Joshua in a while.

Now we know.

It wasn't Joshua who set up that meeting.

It was his replacement consciousness in Joshua's husk.

Some guy named Kane.

So where's Joshua?

No idea.

Did I give up the location of the book?

Yep. Ah, just relax.

Told you I'd take care of the book.

Pulled the old switcheroo long before the meeting.

They got an Nostradamus book, just not the real one.

Those fake quadrants should slow them down.

For how long?

Ah, who knows.

Hey.

Here you go.

Uncle Eddie's hacker's wound.

Guaranteed to heal.

Thanks, Eddie.

What the hell is this?

Chamomile, ginkgo, biloba, vitamin E, B12, two shots of tequila, breakfast at

Champions.

I don't suppose you got a couple aspirins, do you, Eddie?

Maybe. Today I witnessed a possible future for humanity.

Enslavement by the Gua.

In the face of that future, my journey is given new purpose.

I wonder about the fate of Joshua, an alien who might have been a key to

stopping this war.

With Joshua out of the way, the Gua have taken the offensive.

They want the Nostradamus book.

And most of all, they want to stop me.

They can take what they learned from my torture to heart.

I'll never back down against them.
