Alien Siege

Are we rolling?

All right, we're gonna try to get as close as we can.

This is not going to be easy.

Yes, I can hear you.

All we know at this time is that it was the Kulku,

an alien race known as the "Kulku."

The Kulku are a humanoid,

technologically very advanced race.

We come to you in a time of great desperation.

Our civilization is dying.

They have capabilities far beyond our own ability to defend ourselves.

The Raeg is also the possible source of mass destruction on a global scale.

…what's left of the 101st Airborne.

From what we can tell, most of Los Angeles has been destroyed.

The leaders of the world have been forced to come to an agreement with them.

Surviving F-22 Raptor fighter appears to be engaging a Kulku ship.

Thus far, the Kulku has maintained total air superiority.

If we do not give them what they want, they will destroy us.

What the Kulku want is eight million humans.

Their sacrifice, their blood will be used as an antidote to the Kulku disease.

The Kulku are a species who have earned the right to exist.

America's share is 800,000.

This was ground zero for the Kulku attack.

While other countries have emptied their prisons…

- Turn that off. -…the United States…

Some of us are eating.

-…has instituted a lottery… -Sorry, the TV stays on.

Is this system fair? Only time will tell.

-Are you gonna order? -I'm still deciding.

Every effort has been made to keep the selection process as balanced

-and as painless as possible. -These guys…

For better or worse, 650,000 Americans have so far sacrificed their lives,

and we're still short by 300,000 citizens.

Bob Tangier in New York is standing by with a live report.

Heather.

Daddy…

Something's come up. I need you to come with me.

But I haven't finished my shift.

We have to go.

What do you mean?

Honey, please, for me. Just do it, now.

I have to change.

Okay. Okay, just hurry.

Aliens… How am I supposed to eat when there's aliens?

- Hi. -Let's go.

Can you tell me what's up?

I'll tell you in the car.

Donald Weitzer? Would you please come with us?

I'll first need you to place your thumb on this sensor to verify…

-This has gotta stop! -Drop it!

You're selling out our planet, you bastard!

- Dad, what's going on? -We've gotta leave, right now.

Tell me, please!

Have you been selected?

No, it's you.

Now, come on, please. We've gotta go.

I'm only gonna tell you one more time, put the grenade down!

Please, I don't want to die.

We're already dead,

every last one of us.

Resistance, so far, seems uncoordinated and isolated.

The general tone of the country seems to be one of quiet acceptance.

I can't get over how many people…

Heather, sweetheart, listen to me.

I will not let anything happen to you.

Oh, yeah? Like, what are you gonna do, take on the whole world?

There's a lottery in this country.

You know that's the deal that we have.

Anyone can get chosen, anyone.

But I will not let anything happen to you, you gotta believe me.

Okay.

What the hell?

Stay inside.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Heather, get in the woods. No matter what happens, stay hidden.

Nothing to see here. No reason to stop. Just keep moving.

Sir, would you please rise and step away from the vehicle?

Oh, hell, guys, there's no reason to stop. I don't need any help. It's just a flat.

I'll have it fixed and be on my way.

Sir, don't make me ask again.

- -What seems to be the problem?

I think you know why we stopped, Dr. Chase. Where's your daughter?

She disappeared.

May I remind you that defiance of National Mandate 285

can result in severe fines, as well as possible jail time?

Look, I…

I'm just gonna fix my tire…

I will ask you one last time.

Sir!

-Heather, run! -Get her!

- -

Just calm down. You don't wanna do this.

-I said you weren't taking her. -Put the gun down.

Please, take me instead.

You know it doesn't work that way.

Please…

You'll have your chance,

like everybody else.

The virus covered the baby's body completely,

and her eyes had scabbed over.

All she could do was hold my hand, and I gave up hope.

I said goodbye.

Then, a miracle, the human distillate arrived,

and her little eyes opened.

I also have been inoculated and I'm fine.

Did your daughter survive?

Yes, Ambassador. Thank you.

It was a one-way trip for us, to this backwards hell.

We will never see Kulku again.

You've made a sacrifice for your family.

Of course, they received the serum first.

Please,

among these people, we must speak their language.

Time escapes us, Kor.

They're cheering our names in the cities,

but until we have harvested enough humans

to save every living Kulku, we will not have saved our race.

I want you in the United States.

They're 300,000 behind goal.

What human is in charge, sir?

A General Skyler, I believe.

But there is one unique problem.

A Kulku ship crashed there over 50 years ago.

Human scientists have pieces of our technology,

which they've been trying to develop ever since.

It would take them centuries, sir.

I don't believe a real threat exists,

but you must make sure.

Yes, sir.

Where is it?

Commander Kor, I was just going to contact you.

Of course you were. Is this a candidate?

As it happens, he could be an infinite source of serum.

-Why haven't you tested him already? -I've tested him,

but now that you're here, we can finish testing him.

It's ironic that we must search for anomalies in the same way

we extract distillate.

If they live, they live,

but if they fail the test, they die.

And either way, it's most unpleasant.

I guess he was not an anomaly after all,

which means we will have to continue our processing.

Wait!

We are not running at capacity.

At this rate, we will never reach our quota before the wormhole collapses,

and all this will be for nothing.

I'm aware of the problem.

Of course you are…

Commander.

- Stephen! -Move your car, Bill. I'm in a hurry.

We've got major problems.

You know the rumors about the Kulku raiding the research institute.

Well, they're all true.

They took over Salem Hills this morning while I was working.

I don't care. Move your car.

-Stephen… -They took her.

Heather?

They're moving her to the Montana West Region facility right now.

What are you planning on doing?

No. You listen to me. That's not an option.

Look, I lost my wife. I'm not gonna lose my daughter too.

Look, your wife died of cancer.

You can't go in Heather's place. You can't!

The lab. Tell me about the lab. What's happened?

The lab…

They gutted Lab "B" and took everything, including the mineral.

-Genexium? -Yeah.

Who cares?

They do. They brought in a friggin' laser cannon

and blew open the wall to get it.

Yeah, but that stuff is useless. It's inert.

We stopped researching it almost five years ago.

I gotta go.

See you, buddy.

Okay.

My fellow Americans,

in the past,

we have fought many wars,

knowing full well that we would destroy all enemies who sought to do us harm.

But this time, the greatest military force in the world has been reduced

to helping alien species round up

and kill our own citizens.

I must ask for your cooperation.

If you are called, you must go, in the interest of the entire world.

God bless you.

God bless America.

Area 11, induction and preprocessing

is at the far end of the stadium.
