- Hey, look.

- Tall, gangly?

That's my David.

Just who is this blind idiot?

Yeah! Yes! Yes!

Thank you.

Dad?

This is going to catapult our

civilization by thousands of years.

Our understanding of physics, wormholes,

everything everything everything.

- Babe, calm down, calm down.

- I don't want to calm down!

Ah, David!

What?

We have to wait for the end of the

world for us to get together.

Come, David.

Give me a kiss already.

You're alive.

I'm-I'm-I'm busy right now.

You'll be happy to know

I made some acquaintances.

They came to see you.

I'm a little busy right now, Dad.

- You and I. We're going to have to talk.

- I said not now.

- Look. Look. Light.

- Yeah, I see.

Tom, it looks like

the plan is working.

She thinks you've

got the sphere.

- She's going after you.

- You got to get these kids to cover. Go. Go.

It's good to see

you flying again.

You place is in the air.

You should have

let me do this.

You saved the world

once before, Dad.

I'm not saving the world, Patty.

I'm saving you.

Tom, what's going on?

She's in my head.

Mr. President, you got

incoming fighters on your six.

Can you get me to the target,

Lieutenant Whitmore?

Yes, sir.

Follow me.

Come on.

Go now.

Now. Now.

Activate the shield.

Shield engaged.

Lieutenant Whitmore, clear the blast zone.

Surprise to see me?

Do it.

Push the button, Tom.

Do it, Tom.

SHIELD IMPAC DETECTED

That's right.

We got you.

On behalf of the planet Earth,

happy 4th of July!

Ooh.

Do we have confirmation, David?

I think it's safe to say,

Mr. President.

That, we got her.

- Yay!

- Yay!

Whoa!

Wait, if she's dead,

why are her fighters still attacking us?

- Command, we have a breach.

- How many do you think?

About 2 dozen, sir.

Under no circumstances

do they see the sphere.

You do whatever it takes!

Do you copy?

Copy that.

- This is Sam, my navigator.

- Um.

You're a lot taller

than I imagined.

This is her sister, Daisy.

Bobby.

Um, sir.

Is that suppose to happen?

- Oh my god.

- Not good.

Oh my god.

She has her own shield.

- What is that?

- Okay, back on the bus, kids!

Back on the bus.

Here we go.

Ginger!

Come on, Ginger!

No, no, no.

We're getting out.

Come on, girl.

Come on, let's go.

We all have to wait for the dog.

I guess so.

Okay.

Go, go, go.

Oh my god!

All remaining pilots, target the queen.

Unload everything you got.

Did you hear that?

We need backup down here now!

We got a serious breach

in cell block 5.

We got aliens on the loose.

We need backup now!

HEY!

Where are you going?

Where did she go?

Charlie.

The thing just leaped into the air!

- What did he just say?

- Something about jumping.

Whoa.

Whoa.

We are within 6 minutes, sir.

Watch out!

David, 6 minutes to

Earth's core breach.

- General Adams, her shield is down!

- Yes!

I repeat.

Her shield is down.

Great job, Lieutenant.

I got you, baby.

We're going to

get you out of this.

Aim for her gun, Charlie.

Aim for her gun.

This is Captain Hiller.

We hijacked a couple of alien fighters.

- Yeah!

- Yes!

Do not shoot at us.

We're the ones trailing smoke.

Roger that, Captain Hiller.

- Yes!

- Come on, get her.

Shoot her down!

Whitmore destroyed the queen ship

and his daughter knocked out her shield.

Now listen up.

They're going for our molten core.

You've got 4 minutes

to destroy the queen.

So give her hell.

Copy that, no pressure.

We're really running

into an alien prison!

This is the one!

- Open up!

- We're here!

Ah!

She knows!

She's coming!

Dylan, what's happening?

I don't know.

My controls just stopped responding.

- Same here.

- Charlie, do something.

I can't.

She must have taken

control over our systems.

I think we are

part of the hive now.

Looks like we're not

the only ones.

What the hell.

She's taking us straight to Area 51.

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

Hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

- You're not going to follow her!

- Stay behind the yellow line, please Dad.

- There's no yellow line.

- Imagine one.

Yeah! Take that!

Yeah! Yeah!

See.

I told you

I'll figure it out.

You talk too much.

Baby, we're saved

They got me.

Oh no.

Don't worry.

I'm going to get you to sick bay.

I'm afraid I'm not

able to make.

Wait a minute.

Wait. Wait.

You can't go.

Whose gonna...

Whose gonna water your orchids?

Whose gonna make sure you put

your pants on when I'm gone?

Baby, you're right.

I got something

I got to tell you.

What?

This... was supposed to be a sweater.

Oh no, no, no.

No.

No.

What the hell is she doing?

That's close enough, David.

That's close enough.

It's like they are

trying to protect her.

More are coming.

- Give me that thing!

- Take that.

2 minutes, sir.

2 minutes until core breach.

Captain Hiller, you got 2 minutes.

2 minutes.

- We got to get of this tornado.

- Every tornado has an eye, right?

I think if we want to get a shot

at her, we got to get up there.

How are we going to do that?

We don't have any

manual controls left.

Well, don't these things have

fusion drive or something?

Are you kidding me?

That thing is make for outer space!

- Down here we'll burn up!

- You got a better idea, Charlie?

From where I'm sitting, it looks

like it's our only damn chance!

- Our only chance to die.

- Charlie, shut up!

Rain, on the thrusters.

- You're all crazy!

- One.

Two.

Three.

Ah, still alive.

Still alive.

- You alright?

- Woo, man.

- I got the controls back.

- And our weapons are working.

Yeah, but our engines are fried.

Alright. Well, it's got to be

a controlled dive then.

There she is.

Everybody, we got 1 shot at this.

Let's make it count.

Thanks for always

looking out for me, Jake.

You got it, buddy.

It's over.

It's over.

- You got them all.

- Okay.

Except that one.

Oh my god.

She's got it.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Get ready for a

close encounter, b*tch!

Charlie, go for her back!

Right where the tentacles are.

That's her weak spot.

- Keep shooting, Charlie!

- What do you think I'm doing?

Sh*t!

Charlie, this thing got ejection seats?

Negative!

Look out!

Okay, that's getting too close.

David!

David, let's get out of here.

Back off.

Go back!

We're alive.

We're rich.

Oh my god.

Yes.

General Adams, the Earth's core

is secure.

- Yay!

- Yay!

Whoa. Hey.

Whoa.

She's dead, my god.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Baby, put the gun down.

Jake?

Jake.

We're not even married yet, and

you're already trying to shoot me?

Maybe we should try that.

You know.

Dinner first.

Director Levinson,

well done.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Catherine.

Um.

Don't say anything.

You'll just ruin it.

Who are you?

David never mention a

beautiful woman in his life.

Dad.

I'm Julius.

I'm his father.

Enchant.

I'm Catherine Marceaux.

- Can you give us a second?

- I was never here.

Uh, listen.

Maybe you guys should

stay with me for a while.

I think I would

really like that.

Yes, so would I.

- Are you okay?

- I am. Thanks to you.
