Left Behind

How do you describe both a beginning and an end?

We should have known better.

But we didn't.

What does it matter what we think we know?

In the end, there's no denying the truth.

Jerusalem, 6:00 PM

Iraq, 6:03 PM

Syrian - Israeli border, 6:03 PM

Mediterranean Sea, 6:04 PM

And as the world faces the most serious food shortage in history

Perhaps there is a ray of hope.

I'm Buck Williams and I'm standing in a wheat field

in the middle of the Israeli desert.

Doctor Rosenzweig...

It looks like Iowa!

We've truly been blessed with a miracle.

One that you have created.

Now the biggest question remains:

Who do you trust?

Every nation, every corporation wants your formula...

especially in the light of the recent crop failures.

No, no, no. Eden is not for sale.

Not for money.

All I want is

peace for Israel, a peace that...

It looks like the Israeli Air Force never sleeps...

Those are not our planes!

Not from that direction.

Let's take cover!

Mr. Williams, please, this way!

I want all four commanders to notify the front line.

Put the main squadron into a full state of alert.

This is it.

What's going on? -It's a full-scale air attack.

No warning.

By who?

Could be anyone.

No one has more enemies who want to see her destroyed than Israel.

I don't care if the electronics are jammed; get those planes up!

We cannot get our planes up!

It's treachery!

With our technical problems,

they're over Jerusalem!

The Eden Project could've feed the whole world,

but now, it is merely going to die with us.

Enemy planes are taking direct hits? I don't understand.

We haven't launched any missiles.

Those planes are coming down and we haven't fired a shot.

It's not possible!

They're jamming our monitors, it's a cruel trick.

Only one way to find out.

No, Buck!

This is Buck Williams, reporting live from Israel.

I am standing in the middle of an all-out attack.

The sun is gone, thousands of planes are soaring overhead.

Fire is raining from the sky.

This is just unbelievable!

This has got to be the biggest surprise attack since Pearl Harbor.

Get out of there, Buck!

I've been informed by top-ranking military officials that Israel has not been able to launch even a single plane in defence.

He would have filmed Hiroshima from ground zero, if he would've been there.

Yeah, that's our Buck!

As I stand here, fighter planes are exploding in mid-air.

They're crashing and falling to the ground without any explanation.

And while no one seems to be able to give me any reason for why this is happening, I can tell you this:

This all-out, unprecedented attempt to destroy Israel appears to be failing.

War will continue until the end.

Desolations have been decreeted.

He will confirm a covenant with many... for 7 years.

"Corespondents from the Israeli army deny any connection to the destruction of the planes"

"..however, inside sources reveal"

Hey, turn that up! -Mum said to turn it down.

Do you always do as you're told? - Hey, you should try it sometimes.

Give me that!

"...for the most reliable and up-to-date information"

"I am Buck Williams."

Mum, can you find my art book?

Sure, if you'll help me clean up a little and put up some of these streamers.

No thanks. I am never having kids.

Lucky them.

Nice touch with the nose-ring, Chloe.

Why not just shave your head and get it over with?

Funny!

I thought your flight didn't leave until midnight?

Well, they just called. They want me on the New York - London.

What about Raymie's birthday party?

He's all right. Rayme wants that knight's helmet I promised from Buckingham Palace, right pal?

Right, or a sword...

or one of those long pointy sticks that they put heads on.

Don't push it! Where does he come up with this stuff?

Sunday school!

You have to go now? -For me to get that helmet, yeah I do.

I'll be back in 3 days, all right?

OK? -all right.

See, I told you there's nothing wrong... -Ray, we've talked about this..

- You knew... - Look, I don't have any control...

Yes you do...you can say no...

Doorbell.

Yeah, comming!

- Hey, reverend! - Hey, Ray, what's going on?

- Come on in, Bruce! - Bruce, how's it going?

What's that, birthday boy?

- Bruce, where is Jenna. - Baby's sick.

- Don't throw the ball in the house! - Hey, see you, Raymie!

Well, I haven't seen you in a while.

People still have to fly, even on Sundays. Excuse me.

- Ray! - Hey, what did I say?

Ray!

- I'll see you in a couple of days. - OK.

- I love you. - Yeah, me too.

Bye!

Dad, where are you going?

You heard me tell your mother, I have to go to London, I have to work.

What about Raymie?

I can see that your bags are all packed, ready to go.

You know I have exams, I have to go.

And I have a flight. It's called a job. Welcome to the real world!

Your mother has all those people coming over and I just can't listen to it...

They're not my type of people either, but maybe we could show her some support?

But what about her respecting what the rest of us think, huh?

She's on me too, but I listen. You know, sometimes I even pretend to take an interest.

- It's not like she's hurting anybody! - I wouldn't say that.

You know, maybe you should try talking to her instead of running away all the time.

Good luck on your exams, sweetheart!

Have a safe flight, dad.

GNN Studios, New York

Mr. Williams, good to see you back. -Thanks.

Hello!

"Dirk Burton. I know who's behind those planes falling out of the sky!"

- Dirk, what are you talking about? - Not on an open line.

"Meet me at the usual spot."

The world is in danger, Buck. All of us.

Dirk, just calm down. Knock it down a couple thousand RPMs. What's the matter?

It's Cothran. I got the file. He thought it was locked, but I got it, I got in.

What do you know about Rosenzweig?

Dirk, what are you talking about?

Don't you see? Chaim Rosenzweig. The formula.

And it's so clear.

The attack. The bombers exploding, the flights exploding.

See, see, it's all fitting together now.

I see it, cause they've been behind this whole thing from the beginning.

The research, the trust funds, and there's the currency.

That's the next step.

You see, the dollars, the pounds, the euro, the yemen, they're going to make it all into one.

One, Buck.

Don't you see? It's always about the money, isn't it?

What do you know about Rosenzweig. He must've said something. Come on! Think! Think!

When is the last time you slept?

I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead.

Rosenzweig.

Come on, Buck, Rosenzweig!

He's a scientist. He's an UN delegate. He's my friend.

Chaim is a good guy.

While he might have all the world's best intentions in mind..

But not the guys behind him. Not them for sure!

Who?

Cothran and Stonagal.

Those guys are bankers. What do they have to do with those planes in Israel?

Ten tracks of land. The whole thing.

But it's gonna go further. Oh, yeah. They're not finished.

What's next, huh? What's next?

Who knows? It's gonna be unimaginable. Here...

Look at this. Stonagal's plan for the world.

Come on, Dirk. This is an old college essay.

And this...

What's that?

Everything from Cothran's computer, and all the stuff I've been working on.

No, no. I can't give it to you. I can't risk you being caught with it.

Caught by who?

The NSA, the CIA, the Mossad...

I mean who knows how further this goes.. Dirk, Dirk!

You're a nut and I love you. I always have and I always will. But come on, man!

If you think you got something, then give it to me, all right?

Or give it to Alan. We will help you put this thing...

I need more time.

Don't worry, Buck. When I get all the pieces in place,

You'll blow Cothran and Stonagal out of the water. - Dirk...

Promise me you'll do it!

Listen. You bring me a story...

and you know I'll drive it down to the bone.

Get some sleep. Seriously.

Can I get you to sign this, Mr. Williams?

Must've been a nightmare over there, huh?

Had to get the story.

Thanks.

What's he saying?

I don't know. It sounds like hebrew.

No. I was there. I heard him. It was english.

Amazing you could hear anything with those explosions going off everywhere.

"What used to be a Third World problem.."

"..is now knocking at the door.."

"..of even the most prosperous nations."

"How can we find peace when people are starving?"

Father Theresa!

If we all listened to Carpathia, we'd be one big happy family.

Scary would be relating.

Speaking of families this just came over the wire.

Europe has just standardized their currency with Korea. Bizarre, huh?

One step closer to a global currency.

Come on, darling, I need you.
