Mahalo mother...!

We gotta get off this mountain.

The cop left the keys on his belt.

You gotta go down and get em.

You can do it.

Now!

This is an emergency call! Can anyone hear me?

Radio check! Can anyone hear me? Over.

- Wait up! Wait up don't leave...

- Stop right there!

- Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

- Who are you?

I'm Cal Zapata! We sent out a beacon...

Oh sh*t! Is he a cyborg! Are you guys with them?

He's human. Can you please put the gun down?

Mick! Put your gun down.

I told them something like this could happen.

I said it was gonna be like Columbus and

the Indians, conquistadors and incas...

... they said no it'll be sweet.

They killed my grad students.

- Ok! Calm down!

- I can't...

Slow. Slow. Sit down!

Slow breaths.

- You're freaking him out, Mick!

- I doubt it takes much to freak him out.

We need the marines, we need the army.

We need all of them.

It is the strong belief of the Chinese that

what crashed into Hong Kong

was some sort of communications ship.

So you're saying a flying telephone cratered

and took out 25,000 people.

What I'm saying is that our visitors seem

extrodinarily concerned with

establishing a line of communication home.

If they've lost their communications ship,

how could they do that?

The same way we did.

Our communications station in Hawaii has

the ability to send a message to deep space,

by the LandSat 7 satellite.

I believe it's for that asset they've

domed the island.

We're looking at a extinction level event.

The most critical part of any military operation,

to establish communications,

reinforcements,

rescue organization.

Are you saying ET wants to phone home?

That would be incredibly, incredibly bad.

I mean so far only 5 ships have made contact.

If 5 ships could do this,

what do you think 50 could do or

Sir, if I could just have a minute?

Just give me one second.

- Why am I staring at a lizard?

- Coz this is my pet lizard sir, Penelope the Third.

- And?

- They have the exact same eyes.

You've got 15 seconds. Go.

Ok, so I put the helmet on, and the helmet

is just basically extreme sunglasses,

and some hydration

and some oxygen.

and bunch of other stuff I don't understand .

We took Penelope to the beach one time.

Which was a terrible idea.

She went absolutely crazy because she

couldn't handle the sunlight.

You see. I don't think they can handle

the sunlight either.

- Did you try anything else on?

- Negative, sir. Just the helmet.

Scientist have confirmed that there was

a UFO landing in the Pacific Ocean,

off the coast of Hawaii.

Today I want to update the American people on what

we know about the situation in Hawaii.

First we are bringing all available

resources...

The news has sparked global unrest

among the population

unleashing and unprecedented wave of chaos across the world

Many governments have declared marshall law.

Scramble the jets admiral!

We need to get in there!

I'm far more aware than you of

the need to get inside there.

But wasting more lives will not help.

Want me to send another plane?

I'll do it the second you sit your ass

in the co-pilot seat, sir!

- Are they transmitting?

- They could be, but it wouldn't do them any good.

There's no satellite to receive the transmission.

We beam to LandSat 7.

- What's Landsat 7 ?

- It's a deep space satellite.

It only orbits into range once, every 24 hours.

- When's the satellite in position?

- 8:
43 AM.

We got about 5 hours and they'll use

it to slingshot their transmission.

- Slingshot where?

- I don't know. Whereever it is they're from.

Pearl Harbor here.

We're approximately here.

And they, whatever they are, they're somewhere in the middle.

We're trapped in here.

What we know right now is we can't

target them unless we have a plain line of sight.

Without radar we have no way to track them.

- Correct?

- Correct.

But I don't think they can see us either.

- Why?

- Because we are still alive.

Ok! So they can't see us and we can't see them

and we have no way to hit them from a safe distance.

There is a way.

A way?

A way of seeing them without seeing them.

You're going to reference "Art of War" right now?

What are suppose to fight the enemy where they aren't?

Move like water?

Except I've read that thing like 6 times

and it makes no sense.

That book is Chinese.

- Still makes no sense.

- My way is much more simple.

We've been doing it to America for 20 years.

- Water displacement.

- How do you track water displacement?

- Tsunami buoys.

- Tsunami buoys?

You have them surrounding the islands

transmitting displacement data,

we hack into the transmissions, form a grid.

- We can't get anything without radar.

- I don't need radar.

Just the radio frequecies.

Turn off radar please.

- Who is this guy?

- Chief Moore.

Sir!

- Secure Spy!

- Securing spy sir.

Display NOAA data. (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Admin)

- NOAA data?

- Yes, correct.

You heard him, display NOAA data.

- What the hell is that?

- It's a buoy.

If it get's hit by a wave, it transmits a signal.

Bring up chart block.

Chart block. Bring it up.

So we can track without radar.

We would practice it as a contingency plan.

- You dirty, cheating, snakey...

- Rough world.

I like it.

Captain!

My chair is your chair sir.

My brother would have done the same.

- How should we get a hold of Hopper.

- Who's Hopper?

He's the Tactical Actions Officer on

an Arleigh Burke class destroyer.

It has the resources that can take this entire mountain out.

Great. That makes a lot of sense.

Let's call him.

We can't. Everything is jammed.

They're using an electromagnetic field

to block our signals,

it's more like a pulse.

Not a brick wall. There's gaps, ok?

From inside the barrier, we might be able

to get a call out.

If I could get to my spectrum analyzer then ,

theoretically we could find a frequency

that could broadcast...

Do you have a piece of equipment that

can make a call?

Yeah.

- Get it!

- Well i can't because it's down there,

- in that nest of aliens.

- You're gonna go get it.

- No.

- Yes.

We are looking for patterns

of water displacement.

That bouy's underwater.

That's a ship.

- Get on your gun.

- Sir.

- Target Echo 1-1.

- Roger. Echo 1-1.

- Ready to fire.

- When we fire, they will know where we are.

FIRE!

- Orly, anything?

- Negative, sir! It's a miss!

It's heading towards us!

You ready?

I'm sorry, there's no possible way I'm

going down there.

- I don't posses that kind of courage.

- Right now you're going to acquire that courage

or I'm going to break my steel leg

off of your ass.

You feel me?

I feel you.

Go! Now!

Acquiring courage.

Acquiring courage.

I need

What?

- Foxtrot 2-4.

- Foxtrot 2-4. Ready to fire.

FIRE!

- Orly, anything?

- Negative, sir.

Stupid ninkumpoop idea.

There's another one!

Incoming! Incoming!

Sir they're coming from both directions!

Engines! Back full!

Enemy fire!

- India 3-7!

- India 3-7!
