Ejecta
So, did they talk to you?
What, in their own voice
you mean? No.
Well, they...they talk through me.
They speak inside my mind
We're on target.
I can feel them.
Steady...
I could feel them.
I could...I could hear them inside.
Pretty much on me.
They had this...meeting.
and then they left.
Stay alert.
See if you can get it.
And that was it?
No, that wasn't it.
They left something behind.
Something inside of me that's
been there ever since.
Approaching the house. Stay tight.
When I'm awake, it hurts.
But when I'm...
When I'm not, it
floods me with these
nightmares.
Nightmares, no. Nightmares, it's
not nightmares.
It...it's not a thing, it...
it's a feeling.
It...it's not pain, it's not...
it's not fear.
It...it's something else. It's
something much, much worse.
Go, go. Move.
Go. You hit.
Why don't you take
a few painkillers
before bed, just
knock yourself out?
I've tried everything.
Everything.
Everything?
And it just never works.
No fatigue. Stroke.
Got you.
Please stay tight. Stay tight!
F***! What the f***!
You should get some help.
Oh, I've...
I've seen doctors.
And they say I'm in
peak of physical health.
All I need is a little more sleep.
-What the hell did you do?
-Something was there.
What are you doing?
I saw it, sir. It was
right behind Stevenson.
What the f***?
So, did you try it?
No.
All I allow myself is a few
hours of sleep every few days.
Go ahead, move! Bring it in!
Target's on you.
Take it! Take it!
Target's on you! Go, go, go!
Pull out! Pull out!
If a doctor tells you to sleep,
maybe you should sleep.
-You don't understand.
There is something inside of
me that...
a comfortable pillow
will not fix!
-Will! I believe you, I do.
I'm making this
film so that other
people will believe you,too.
I don't care if people
believe me or not.
Yes, you do. We've been
discussing it for years.
If you don't care what
other people think,
then what do you want?
I just want someone to
tell me how to make it stop!
How to pull it out
of my head!
I cannot...cannot close
my eyes
for them to tear them out!
Alright, men!
Put a bullet through my head!
I fear that...
that...
The...the...anticipation...
of...of...this feeling...
eats away at my life.
Hold your fire!
I need that man alive,
do you hear me?
Put your goddam gun away, rookie.
Bullets through and through.
But he's alive.
Do you understand?
Tell me what it feels like.
Does it hurt?
It hurts! OK?
It...it hurts.
Do you know how
to follow orders, soldier?
Do you know how
to follow orders?
You almost killed one of
my men in my target.
Copy that.
Don't worry about it, soldier.
This is how we follow orders, soldier.
No!
No!
I've always found it strange
that humans even bother
to
try and imagine the end of the world.
Staging areas,
ships to flee on,
lotteries for tickets
off the planet.
We're all so stupid.
The beginning of the end
as they say.
But that's long
begun by now.
Truth is when it hits,
You will simply cease
to do the stupid little things
that you do.
Just like that.
Ten month...
if it's the big one...
like the sun storm of 1859,
the carrying event
as it's called,
Then there's no
such thing as tomorrow.
She lifts up the sun
like a fiery wing.
It whips back and snaps.
She breaks loose.
Cosmic inferno like a
moveable hell
sprays millions and millions of miles
as if it were nothing.
A cough. A sneeze.
And then, it hits us.
Yes indeed.
It's going to hit us.
And when it hits us,
When it comes crashing through
our flimsy atmosphere,
the good will collapse,
the magnetic poles reverse,
And you know what that means?
The entire surface of the planet
heaves. Its molten heart bursts!
And we all drown in
a lake of eternal fire!
Then we go to Jesus!
Maybe we could just get a
little lecture.
That's all for now, folks.
I have a scar. I'm telling you.
Just show it off and
bang! There it was on the radar.
I don't know, man.
I wouldn't get too excited.
Seen him before.
Ha, ha, ha. As was our cliche.
Opened his eyes. Almost
blew over our head.
Never seen him so
sure of himself.
Sir?
Are you okay?
Can we get you something?
Who are you?
We're the good guys.
We're here to help.
Whose blood is that on your shirt?
Mine.
They shot me.
They shot you because you ran.
Bad things happen when you disobey.
It's best if you
learn that now.
Let me go.
Sit still and let's talk.
We lost a rookie tonight.
He was a good kid.
I don't know about you,
but we want to end
the bloodshed.
-And you can help us
by giving us some answers.
-I don't know anything.
Oh, come now,
that's not true.
What about...
the planets in our solar system?
I'm sure you know those.
-Mars...
-Saturn. Thank you, agent.
I have a feeling he's aware. Now.
I'm curious
what he knows about
things from
a little further away.
Let me go!
-Let me go!
-You need to calm down!
Just...relax.
I told you...
to sit still, old man.
And you don't listen very well, do you
spider Nevi?
Please have Heather
prep the prep helmet.
Now! Please and thank you.
William Cassidy. I
must apologize.
William Cassidy is our guest...
He's part of our team.
You know, you look a little bit rough.
I have to admit. But I
I did not expect that you
would look quite so old.
Might be time to update the
profile picture on your website.
William, I would like
you and I
to hit the reset button right now.
I want to like you and
I want you to like me.
I'm a firm believer in
straightforward conversation.
If you and I would have
a straightforward conversation
between friends,
then we'll have a
wonderful outcome today.
It's so easy.
Don't you agree?
I will assume that you agree,
and that you're not
being difficult right now
So, let's start with
a very easy question.
What happened last night?
I'm going to ask you
a few questions on camera, OK?
Is that all?
Yeah.
OK? Yeah.
So sorry about the confusion
before, but
Can I ask you
if my name rings a bell
at all?
Why? What is it again?
Joe.
Joe Sullivan?
I got an email
from you the other night.
No.
I never give out...
personal information online ever.
OK.
I'm here with...
Bill Cassidy.
Let me just say that
I have been following
your story for years.
And I'm doing a documentary.
Extra-Terrestrial activity.
Things...beyond our atmosphere.
So, it's obviously
a pleasure to meet you.
Yeah...Uh...
So the first question is:
You were abducted by
aliens thirty-nine years ago?
I never said abducted.
Something came to me.
OK, good, That's what I want.
I want to hear what
happened in your own words.
My own words?
I met
an advanced
life
form...from somewhere else.
You met them. What
does that mean?
They came here
through the front door,
just like you.
And you just let them in?
No.
I didn't have much choice.
They threatened you?
No.
They control me.
So, what did they look like?
