Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Every night, the same dream, the same strange planet.

But why?

What are they trying to tell me?

It's been 34 years

since they arrived on this planet.

And not a day passes that the survivors...

...forced to live in barrier cities, do not live in fear.

I have vowed to end that fear.

I believe my dreams hold the key.

The question is, will I be in time to save the Earth?

Where are you?

This is a restricted area.

Do not move!

-What's she doing here, Captain?

-I don't know. We're getting her out.

-You're coming with us.

-Behind you!

Hold it!

Damn. Let's move, people!

Two coming through the wall!

Hold your fire.

Those tanks are flammable!

Ryan, Neil, let's go!

-What are you doing?

-There's a life form.

-Not in years.

-There is now.

Life form or not, I'm taking you in.

Arrest me. But I'm not

Leaving without that llfe form.

It's one of those days.

Captain, the transport won't wait for us much longer.

I understand that.

It's in bad shape.

Tell me we're not risking our necks for this plant!

Really, it's a weed.

I wouldn't even call it a weed.

I need a minute to extract it.

That's a minute we do not have.

I'm afraid he's right about that, man.

Phantoms! We have incoming.

-Captain, we need to get moving.

-Understood, sergeant.

-Could you hurry, Miss?

-Done.

-Captain?

-Yes, Neil?

I'm for "Let's get out of here."

Duly noted.

Can I have this, please? Thank you.

-We're surrounded!

-No sh*t!

-Just relax.

-We gotta get to higher ground.

Everyone, up top!

Go, go, go!

-Transport, Requesting immediate evac.

-Affirmative.

Up here!

-They're right behind you!

-Come on!

I've got you!

-You okay?

-Yeah.

All right, everybody, here they come.

You okay?

You're gonna be all right.

So, why shouldn't I arrest you?

I am Dr. Aki Ross.

I have clearance to be here.

Not unlimited clearance. Not without authorization.

I don't have time for this.

Do you realize you risked the lives of my squad?

Look, I don't wanna talk about it.

The fact of the matter is...

-...it was worth the lives of you and your men.

-You and your men?

-She thinks you're a man.

-I think she's an idiot.

-I know you're not a man.

-I think you're an idiot, too.

-Very funny.

-I want to talk about it.

Did it occur to you...

...that we would've volunteered

had we been given a choice?

Nobody asked you to save me.

I don't believe this. You have not changed a bit!

Gray?

Yeah. Nice to see you too.

-Welcome back, captain.

-We're clean.

-Let's make sure of that, shall we?

-I hate getting scanned.

Sir, this scan is probably worse for us than the Phantoms.

And I about it, Captain.

These machines are suspected of causing sterility.

I want to have a little Neil Jr. calling me daddy someday.

-That's a spooky thought.

-Why you always bust my chops?

People, let's just do this thing. All right?

Yes, sir.

-Yes, sir.

-Yes, sir.

Okay, next.

You've gained weight.

It's called upper-body strength, Neil.

Get a girlfriend.

I'm working on it.

You know my security rating allows me to bypass this.

Not today it doesn't.

Something's not right.

-About this mission? Or that woman?

-Both.

Next.

Listen, Captain, I think...

I don't care what you think, Doctor.

You're getting scanned

just llke everybody else.

Sh*t!

-Captain!

-They got him.

There must be a mistake.

You came in contact with the Phantom, sir.

Please remain calm.

Administering treatment shield.

-What level is he?

-Blue. Code red in 3-1/2 minutes.

We have to treat him.

I'm sorry, but that's impossible.

We'll transfer him to the treatment center.

There's no time for that.

Get him to the table.

Hang in there, captain.

Locating pathogens.

Jesus, look at that thing!

How much time?

Not enough. When he reaches code red,

the treatment shield won't hold the alien particles.

Engaging bio-etheric laser.

-What's going on?

-Where'd it go?

What the hell is going on?

We've lost contact.

Infestation is moving deeper.

-Tracking.

-There's no time.

-Tracking.

-You'll lose him!

His treatment shield is failing.

Found it.

Come on.

It's all right.

You'll be back to normal in no time.

Doctor, we need to scan you for infestation.

That won't be necessary.

I'll take responsibility.

Hey, doc.

Thanks for saving him.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah, but the military impounded my ship.

-What's with her?

-What's with her and the captain?

What's with her and that stupid plant?

What?

Forward me the phantom data, and

everything regarding the five spirits

we have collected so far.

Yes, doctor.

I thought we weren't supposed to use the "s" word.

Don't get smart with me.

Now let's see if that plant does the trick.

It's a match. We've found it.

Yes.

The sixth spirit.

You broke nearly every protocol.

How long do you think this would

have survived outside the barrier?

There are elements in the council and

military waiting to shut us down.

Look, 20 years ago, who discovered

this energy in the Phantoms? You.

And who proved the same energy source

existed in humans and every llfe form?

You. You made it possible

to harness that energy...

...for ovo-pacs, scanners,

and even the barrier.

The council knows. They trust you.

We're so close to proving--

But we still need these parts.

Two more pieces and we've solved the puzzle!

We need to be free to find those pieces.

I want to show you something, Aki.

-What is this?

-Read.

"All llfe is born of Gaia and each llfe has a spirit.

Each new spirit is housed in a body."

Go on.

"Through their experiences on Earth,

each spirit matures and grows.

When the physical body dies...

...the mature spirit, enriched by llfe

on Earth, returns to Gaia...

...bringing with it the experiences...

...enabling Gaia to llve and grow."

It's my old diary.

I wrote that 43 years ago,

when I was the age you are now.

Dr. Sid!

Remember Galileo?

They threw him in jail because...

...he said the Earth was not

the center of the universe.

That could happen to us.

Our ideas are unpopular, Aki.

If you have any notes

that could be used against you...

...destroy them.

-Keep them up here.

-Right.

And stay away from your friend the captain.

He saves your llfe, you save his,

this leads to that.

I was young once.

Doctor, there is a war going on.

No one's young anymore.

Members of the council...

...could you please explain why?

Zeus was completed a month ago.

If we attack the meteor with this, we will

eliminate the Phantoms at the source.

General Hein, calm down.

At our last meeting, we voted 6 to 2...

...to postpone using the Zeus cannon

to attack the Leonid Meteor.

We have re-convened today to vote that very issue again.

I'd llke to ask the director of

the Bio-Etheric Center to speak.

Dr. Sid, please.

Thank you.

As you all know, the Phantoms' nest

is in the Leonid Meteor...

...that landed here 34 years ago.

What you see now are the records

of every assault on the meteor to date.

Physical attacks have had

utterly no effect.
