Independence Day: Resurgence
Perhaps it's fate
that today is the 4th of July.
You will once again
be fighting for our freedom.
Not from tyranny,
oppression or persecution.
But from annihilation.
We're fighting for
our right to live.
We're fighting for
our right to live.
INDEPENDENCE DAY
RESURGENCE:
but as the day when
the world declared in one voice.
"We will not go
quietly into the night!"
"We will not vanish
without a fight!"
"We're going to live on!
We're going to survive."
Today, we celebrate our Independence...
MORRRISTOWN:
VIRGINIA:
The countless lives that
we lost in the war of '96
did not perish in vain.
They inspired us to rise from the
ashes as one people of one world.
seen no arm conflict.
Nations have put their
petty differences aside.
United, we rebuild our families,
our cities and our lives.
The fusion of human and alien technology
not only enable us to defy gravity
and travel with unimaginable speed.
It also made our planet
finally safe again.
- Great speech, Patty.
One moment.
We're ready for you, sir.
Captain Hiller.
- It's great to be back.
I cannot tell you how proud we are
to have you flying our flag out there.
- It's an honor, Madam President.
- Your father was a great man.
He'd be so proud.
I think you know the
Secretary of Defense.
- Sir.
- Nice to see you again, son.
And that one,
I don't have to introduce you to.
You're moving up in the world.
Say's America's knight
in shining armor.
Now you're the one
bagging the White House.
As an employee, I don't quite get
the same benefits as when I lived here.
- Captain.
- Yeah.
- We're ready for you.
- Thank you.
Dylan.
Be nice to Jake when
you see him up there.
Moon Tug-10, confirm position.
7 miles and closing.
The slowest trip of my life.
Hey, cheer up.
There're worse things you could be doing
than towing a half trillion dollar of weapon.
Yeah.
Well, I need a little more stimulation.
Hey, you know.
Yeah, you did.
You get lonely without me.
I was the youngest valedictorian
in the history of the academy.
I could have been
stationed anywhere.
Like San Diego, you know?
Beaches, surfing.
- You never surf a day in you life.
- But I'm a fast learner.
And I got great balance.
Like a cat.
Cats hate water, Charlie.
4% to first thrust.
Roger.
Tug-10 reversing thrust, 4%.
The Tugs and the weapon
are on final approach.
They are in position, sir.
Docking in
3. 2. 1.
Initiate uncoupling sequence.
All Tugs disengage.
Trust there are only 36 women
on this moon base.
I'm sure one of them will
eventually come around, pal.
You know, it's not like
they all rejected me.
I happen to have standards.
- Whoa. What did you do?
- Nothing.
That didn't sound
like nothing!
Tug-10 collided
with the weapon.
The clamps are stuck.
They are not responding, sir.
All Tugs, take evasive action.
Pull back!
Pull back!
- Charlie, it's going to crash the base.
- I said, PULL BACK!
Uh, that's a negative, sir.
- This isn't a fire, Jake.
- Don't remind me!
Lieutenant Miller,
what are you idiots doing?
I don't know, sir.
We're going to die!
This is how I die!
Sir, he's slowing the fall.
Go to your docking place.
I'm kicking into fusion drive!
Are you crazy?
We'll burn up.
Yeah, that's very possible!
Come on!
ENGINES OVERHEATING
YES!
Yes!
It's actually working!
I honestly didn't think
that was going to work.
Uh, sh*t.
Jiang's coming in hot.
And he's got that look.
This is our base.
He knows we don't
speak Chinese, right?
You almost destroyed us.
- That was a close call, sir.
- You almost got us all killed.
Ah, yeah.
But then I saved everyone.
You don't get credit for
cleaning up you own mess.
And you destroyed
one of our Tugs.
Uh, actually, sir.
If anybody's to blame I...
Sir, I lost my focus.
It won't happen again.
No, it won't.
You're grounded until further notice.
You didn't have
to take the fall?
Yeah, well.
He already hates me, why break tradition.
Transport 103, ARP1
General Adams, we're being
directed to Alien Prison platform 1.
SPACE DEFENSE HEADQUARTERS
AREA 51- NEVADA
- General.
- This better be good.
My wife and I were enjoying
a very nice morning
in a very expensive
bed and breakfast.
Sorry, sir.
I thought you should see this.
Sir.
It started a couple
of hours ago.
Look how their behaviour changed.
After 20 years,
they are being catatonic.
Get me director Levinson.
We tried.
He's unreachable, sir.
U.N. RESEARCH MISSION
CENTRAL AFRICA:
You need to take me seriously.
I've been chasing you across
But, now that I have you.
Excuse me.
Who are you again?
Floyd Rosenberg,
government appointed controller.
Please be advised.
Entering hostile territories,
we should slow down.
We don't want to look like
we are posing a threat.
Now, we are going to
start with appendix 2.
I know a lot of people have a
negative reaction to being audited.
- But I actually find that it's a
very constructive experience.
- Lloyd. Lloyd. Lloyd.
- It's Floyd.
- We have to meet a friend right now.
A great guy.
Come say hi.
Where are we?
Director Levinson.
Director Levinson.
Who are those men?
- It's Umbutu's rebel forces.
- The Warlord?
I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
His old man just died.
And I hear that the son
is much more of a moderate.
But... uh.
Hey, fellas.
Howdy doody.
Say, uh.
I'm looking for Dikembe Umbutu.
The one and only David Levinson.
Catherine.
Wow.
Wh.. um. What are you-
What are you doing here?
You don't think you're the
only expert he called, do you?
Um. I'm so surprise to see you.
A little bit.
I'm a little surprise that
you remember my name.
Hey, hey.
Come on.
Let's be...
Let's be professional.
Well. We both remembered
what happened the last time
we tried to be professional.
I'm sensing a affable tension here.
We've bumped into each other
in a few conferences.
I bet you have.
Shut up, Floyd.
Director Levinson, I'm sorry,
we're not done with our business here.
Where are your papers?
- What papers?
- Uh, it looks like this.
So why does Umbutu junior
need a psychiatrist.
Unresolved daddy issues?
These people fought a grand war
with the aliens for 10 years.
Their connection is the
strongest I've ever seen.
It's as if their mind is tapped
into the aliens subconscious.
Yeah. Your obsession with the
'human-alien psychic residual condition'.
You, calling me obsessive.
That's cute.
How did they get the lights on?
We didn't.
It happened on it's own,
2 days ago.
Of course you're aware that this
is the only ship that landed in '96.
And so I appreciate you finally granting
us this access, Mr. Umbutu.
Your father was... very tenacious.
more than half of my people.
- Including my brother.
