- Go without me.

No, I'm not leaving without you. Take my hand.

Take my hand.

- (gunshot)

- Stop!

Just stop, okay?

Did I say you could move?

- Just let us go.

- Shut up!

- Choose.

- What?

Choose between your cute little boyfriends.

I don't need both of them. Choose who goes.

I'm gonna let you decide.

I'm not gonna hurt you. I need you at Sanctuary.

But I can't have the two of them.

They're trouble together.

I just need one of them to do the heavy work.

- No, you can't just--

- I said choose!

- No, no.

- You can't say no!

You don't listen!

How can I explain this so you hear me?

Hear me! Hear me!

Life is full of choices,

hard choices.

I had to choose

between being a leader

or a follower,

and that was not always easy.

Now it's my world.

You can pray to me.

Choose, or I'll just kill 'em both.

I-- no, I--

- I said choose!

- (wood cracking)

(gasping, choking)

You doing okay?

Yeah.

I just keep thinking about today.

What are the chances, you know,

that everything worked out the way it did?

I don't know.

Guess we got lucky.

Maybe it wasn't just luck.

Maybe it was something more than that.

It's a beautiful night, Dad.

Maybe you were right.

Hard to believe it was all an accident.

God, Jesus...

I don't really know what I'm supposed to say, but...

I'm ready to do this if you are.

I believe.

Where you gonna go?

We're just gonna try and find some food.

I want to come, too.

No. We still don't know what's out there.

You should stay here with everyone else.

There, done.

I didn't know you knew how to do fishtail.

Mom taught me.

She taught me, too.

I used to love it when she'd comb my hair.

Me, too.

You know, why don't you come with us?

When did the power come back up?

Day before yesterday.

75% of Chicago is back online.

Reports all over the country and even internationally--

Hong Kong, England, Russia-- are much the same.

Shelters are being set up already all over the city.

People are starting to go back to work.

The military has set up curfews and barricades

to maintain order.

It's time to go home.

(music playing)

I don't know

If I'm on the right road

Up is down

And it feels like

I'm all alone

And your voice goes

Round and around in my head

Thank you, Sarah.

Are you sure I can't talk you into staying?

We need to figure out if there's anything left at home.

My friends are there.

They need to know what really happened.

Okay.

Come here.

I'm gonna miss you.

You'll visit, though, right?

Only if you promise to visit me.

- Bye.

- Bye.

(music continues)

The summer sky

Fades to autumn gold

And don't lose heart

I'll find you

And hold you close

And your voice goes

Round and around in my head

And my heart goes

Round and around in my chest

I'll keep on fighting for you

Keep on fighting for me

Keep your eyes on the night sky's horizon

Billings:
After all believers have been taken into Heaven,

there will be the rise of evil,

a new, deceptive darkness that will pervade the worid.

Scripture tells us in Revelation 13

That the whole Earth will be amazed

and follow after the Beast.

This Beast is a great deceiver,

the Antichrist.

People will be drawn to this man

as he masquerades as a savior forming a one-world government

for a world craving direction and order.

And as Daniel 8:
24 says,

"His power will be mighty,

and he will destroy mighty men

and the holy people."

What does that mean?

I'm not sure.

Hey, what is that?

Drones.

I won't give up on you

Please don't give up on me

I won't give up on you

Please don't give up on me

Looks like things are getting back to normal.

Yeah, whatever that is now.

Man on speaker:
We come together at a crossroads

between fear and hope,

between disorder and integration,

between civil regression

and a global community.

We have restored calm to the world.

So let us rise to this moment

and put aside our differences

And move forward with one accord

into one new world.

A world where everyone

is free from oppression,

where humanity reigns supreme.

This world used to live only in our imaginations.

- Who's he?

- Woman:
You don't know?

That's Nicolae Carpathia.

Who's that?

He's the guy who's gonna save us all.

Carpathia:
Join me as we move from all that separates us

to all that unites us

under one government,

under one currency, under one belief.

- There is no need for doubt.

- He scares me.

He scares me, too.

There is no need for fear.

You are all safe.

Trust me.

(music playing)

lf we found out that the world

Was gonna end on Tuesday morning

What would everybody do?

Mm-mmm, yeah

It's funny how the thought of that

Can make some things real important

And a lot of things seem pretty worthless, too

But I'd be dancing like a fool

And I'd be laughing, I'd be crying

Calling anybody who

I ever hurt and reconciling

I'd call everyone I love

Say what I was scared to say to them

Now that I think about it

Maybe I should always live

Like the world is gonna end

Ooh

Live like the world's gonna end

Ooh

I'd hit all my favorite restaurants

They'd be open for business

Would not care what people thought, yeah

Mm-hmm

And I'd speak love to everybody

Who came close enough to listen

And if someone had done me wrong

I'd call and tell 'em I'd forgot

And then I'd be dancing like a fool

I'd be laughing, I'd be crying

Calling anybody who

I ever hurt and reconciling

I'd call everyone I love

Say what I was scared to say to them

Now that I think about it

Maybe I should always live

Like the world is gonna end

Ooh

Live like the world

Live like, live like

Live like the world is gonna end

(music playing)

Through me eyes of men it seems

There's so much we have lost

As we look down the road

Where all the prodigals have walked

And one by one the enemy

His whispered lies

Have led them all to sleep

But we know that you are God

Yours is the victory

And we know there is more to come

That we may not yet see

So with the faith you've given us

We'll step into the valley unafraid

Yeah

As we call out to dry bones

Come alive, come alive

And we call out to dead hearts

Come alive, come alive

Up out of the ashes

Let us see an army rise

Oh, we call out to dry bones

Come alive, yeah

Oh, we call out to dry bones

Oh, come alive

Oh, come alive

Ooh

Oh, come alive

Gene Roddenberry

Eugene Wesley Roddenberry (August 19, 1921 – October 24, 1991) was an American television screenwriter and producer. He is best remembered for creating the original Star Trek television series. Born in El Paso, Texas, Roddenberry grew up in Los Angeles, where his father was a police officer. Roddenberry flew 89 combat missions in the Army Air Forces during World War II, and worked as a commercial pilot after the war. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Los Angeles Police Department, where he also began to write scripts for television. As a freelance writer, Roddenberry wrote scripts for Highway Patrol, Have Gun–Will Travel, and other series, before creating and producing his own television series The Lieutenant. In 1964, Roddenberry created Star Trek, which premiered in 1966 and ran for three seasons before being canceled. He then worked on other projects, including a string of failed television pilots. The syndication of Star Trek led to its growing popularity; this, in turn, resulted in the Star Trek feature films, on which Roddenberry continued to produce and consult. In 1987, the sequel series Star Trek: The Next Generation began airing on television in first-run syndication; Roddenberry was heavily involved in the initial development of the series, but took a less active role after the first season due to ill health. He continued to consult on the series until his death in 1991. In 1985, he became the first TV writer with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he was later inducted by both the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Years after his death, Roddenberry was one of the first humans to have his ashes carried into earth orbit. The popularity of the Star Trek universe and films has inspired films, books, comic books, video games, and fan films set in the Star Trek universe. more…
