Knowing Page #5

- Who did, baby? Who?

- The whisper people.

Hey, lock the doors.

What do you want with my son?

Answer me!

I just know they've been following us

for days.

I think someone's been following me

and Abby, too.

That's why she didn't write

any coordinates down after the final date.

There isn't a single location this time.

Are you telling me that my mother

could see the end of everything?

That we're all going to die tomorrow?

She was disturbed, John.

She could've just made it all up.

She's been right so far, Diana.

About everything.

Abby's... Abby's all I've got, John.

I can't let anything happen to her.

Caleb, you really need to sleep.

I can hear them whispering to me

sometimes like Abby can.

Could Lucinda hear them, too?

Yeah, I think she did. Yes.

Are me and Abby gonna die?

No. I will never let that happen, Caleb.

Do you hear me? Never.

You...

Abby, what do you like to eat for breakfast?

Abby?

What are you doing, honey?

It's the sun.

There's something I need to check.

Get Abby, you're coming with us.

Caleb!

Okay. All right.

Hey, John, what happened?

Hey!

Talk to me. What happened?

I've been calling you off the hook

ever since I heard about the subway.

John?

Do you remember that paper

on extra-solar activity I published?

Yeah, sure, I remember.

I found evidence of a series of super-flares

from a star in the outer-Pleiades region.

Right. Ratings were off the chart.

We were both wrong.

The numbers are a warning,

but not just to me or any random group.

They're a warning to everyone.

Okay. You're officially scaring

the sh*t out of me right now.

The super-flare, in our own solar system.

A 100 microtesla wave of radiation

that would destroy our ozone layer,

killing every living organism on the planet.

We have to let everyone know.

We have to call the NOAA.

They already know.

The announcement will come anytime now.

I thought there was some purpose

to all of this.

Why did I get this prediction

if there's nothing I can do about it?

How am I supposed

to stop the end of the world?

Go home, Phil. Be with Kim tonight.

Diana.

I'm so stupid.

I've spent my whole life

knowing she was right

and pretending that she was insane.

If we hide underground,

we've got a chance, don't we?

It's possible.

I know some caves

off Route 40 past Groton.

Hardly anyone knows about them,

but I used to play there as a child.

We could try there, right?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Caleb, put some clothes and shoes

into your backpack.

Diana, load all the non-perishable food,

any water you can, into the truck.

Let's try to be out of here in 10 minutes.

You start. I'll get some bags.

- Yeah.

Allison wanted me to call you

the day she left for Phoenix.

She wanted me to promise her

that I'd call you.

I know, Jonathan.

We haven't spoken in so long,

I don't really even know why anymore.

I need to tell you something.

Yes?

That sermon you preached every year

at Pentecost, about the gifts of the Spirit,

one was the gift of prophecy.

1 Corinthians 12. Yes, I remember it.

The church should respect the prophet.

I have a prophecy.

It's about to be proven accurate.

I need you to respect it

and receive it as the truth.

This heat we're experiencing

isn't going to get better.

It's going to get worse, much worse.

I need you to get Mom and Grace

and any supplies you can,

and get below ground tonight.

The basement, the sewer, the T.

Just get as deep as you can

and as fast as you can.

And that will keep us safe from this heat?

I don't know that, but we have to try, right?

I'm sorry, John, but I'm afraid I'm not

going anywhere tonight or any night.

I appreciate your concern,

but if it's my time, it's my time.

I'm ready whenever the good Lord calls me.

Are you?

- Dad?

- Hello?

- John?

- Dad?

Caleb, let's go!

Caleb.

Caleb.

Caleb!

Caleb, stop!

- Caleb!

- Huh? Huh?

What were you doing?

Did I do that?

This isn't the way to the highway.

Everybody wait here.

John!

John!

John, please, why are we back here?

John, please, what are you doing?

We have to get to the caves.

- We're not going to the caves.

- What?

She knew the coordinates

for this last event.

She tried to write them down.

The teacher said she was interrupted,

ran out of time,

so she scratched them into this door.

She tried to tell us where to go.

You're not making any sense.

Look at you. Look at what you're doing!

The numbers are the key to everything.

Please! Please, John, we need to leave!

We're taking my car. Come on.

Let's go. Keep your bags with you.

Be here, please, be here.

Throw it in the back.

What about Dad?

He's just gotta finish what he's doing.

He's gonna follow us.

We're just getting a head start, okay?

Diana?

Caleb!

Caleb!

Caleb!

Caleb!

Where are we going, Mom?

Are we hiding from the whisper people?

Yes, baby.

They won't find us where we're going.

Mom, they know where we are.

- How do you know that?

- They told us so.

- You've seen them again?

- No. They just talk to us.

How, Abby? How do they talk to you?

They whisper into our heads.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

- I want to call my dad.

- The phones are down!

I promise he's right behind us!

We'll call him when we get there!

Wait right here!

Now let's get back to the

financial markets, if we may, for a moment.

Let's check it out on the grid here this

morning. We've got Treasuries moving up...

Yeah, thanks. Thanks, man.

Number five.

... India is a better bet than the US

or Europe,

and that the dollar will continue

its long slide...

This is an Emergency

Broadcast Transmission.

This is not a test. This is

an Emergency Broadcast Transmission.

Today, NO AA has concluded...

- Turn that up!

... the solar flares may last longer

and cause more damage to our

infrastructure than we originally thought.

We're recommending that people

stay indoors until further notice.

Bring your pets inside.

Stock up on extra water and, if possible,

seek out fortified underground shelter.

- General, what time is it happening?

- General, excuse me...

The shelters we have

are currently overwhelmed.

The best advice we can offer the public

is to seek your own.

Sir!

One more question about the warning.

We are assessing this information

as it becomes available.

It was only recently confirmed.

Where is the President?

The President and his staff

are currently being transported

to a secure location.

Hello?

- Dad?

Caleb, are you okay?

Tell me exactly where you are.

We're at a gas station. I don't know where.

The damage information regarding

the destructive power of these flares

is a scientific matter,

and I'm not gonna speculate...

Are you coming with us?

I need you to stay right there.

Get me an...

Caleb, get back to the car now.

Caleb?

- John?

- Where are you?

- We're in Westford.

I'm sorry.

I had to do this for Abby and for Caleb.

- I'm taking them to the caves.

- I found the numbers!

They're the location

of your mother's mobile home.
