The Invasion Page #6

largest fiscal spending since the Iraqi War.

Pharmaceutical companies have agreed

to start issuing free AIDS vaccines...

... to all afflicted Third World countries,

effective immediately.

It's a pickle, isn't it?

What did you say?

I said...

I thought you were one of them.

No. Never.

I thought you were sleeping.

I did fall asleep. I did.

Last night and this morning.

Does that mean something bad?

Oliver...

...that means you're immune, baby.

That means you're immune.

I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?

Come on.

On the streets of Baghdad,

there was jubilation...

... as the last of U.S. forces withdrew...

... marking the end

of the occupation of Iraq.

Iraqi President al-Sadr was on hand

to commemorate the occasion...

... and praised Sunni, Shiah,

Kurd and Turkoman...

Security.

Yes, he's outside the building.

Ma'am?

Run.

Run.

Mom!

Here!

Find the door.

Son?

This is your father.

Son?

Where are you?

I saw you sleeping, Oliver.

There is only one reason

you'd be trying to hide from me.

I don't understand your resistance, Carol.

You give people pills

to make their lives better.

How is that so different

from what we're doing?

It's a pity.

I had hoped we could be a family again.

Do you know why

our marriage failed, Carol?

Because I was third.

The thing you loved the most

was your son.

After him came your job.

After that came me.

I was third on your list.

That can't happen in our world.

You remember what you said to me...

...when you signed our divorce papers?

"Sometimes we have to do things

which are painful...

...to make our lives better."

You were so right.

Stop!

You shouldn't hit your father.

You were raised better than that.

I wish it didn't have to be like this. You

didn't wake up like you were supposed to.

Are you all right? Yeah?

Mom, what are we doing here?

I'm just gonna look for some medicine.

Come on.

Come on.

Mom, what kind of medicine

do you need?

Something to keep me

from going to sleep.

What'll happen if you do go to sleep?

We have to make sure that I don't.

Now, Ollie, I may need your help.

You...

You remember your cousin Zoe, don't you?

She had diabetes, remember?

Sometimes she needed a shot.

Well, if something happens

and I do fall asleep...

...l'm gonna need you

to be very brave for me, okay?

You can be brave, huh?

If I fall asleep, I'm gonna need you

to give me a shot. Just like Zoe.

But I'm gonna need you to put it...

...here, in my heart.

You just push the needle into my heart...

...and you press the plunger.

I know it seems scary, but...

Anyway, it's just in case.

I'm gonna put it here, in my pocket.

- You got that?

- Okay.

I love you, Oliver. I love you so much.

Ben, where are you?

I'm outside Patterson Park,

about to go into a hospital.

Galeano needs as much uncontaminated

blood as I can get. Where are you?

We're in a pharmacy. South of Jefferson.

- Is Oliver with you?

- Yeah.

- Good.

- I'm really tired.

- All right, I'll be there as soon as I can.

- Hurry.

Mom, I'm kind of hungry.

- You want some pretzels?

- Sure.

- How about some nuts?

- Nuts, you mean like peanuts?

- Almonds.

- Cashews.

- Walnuts.

- Pecans.

- Macadamias.

- Pistachios.

Chestnuts. Pine nuts. Hazelnuts.

All right. You win.

Here. Want some?

So is this what they mean

by "going nuts"?

Yeah. Yeah, this is what they mean.

This is Dr. Ben Driscoll.

Leave a message after the tone.

Sh*t.

Where are you?

Hey, Mom. What's in here?

No, no. No.

Stay here.

Whatever you hear, Oliver...

...you must not open this door.

- Are there more of them in there?

Don't open it, all right?

- Is that real?

- It's just for protection...

...till we get out of here.

How much longer?

It won't be long. It can't be.

I'm not going to sleep.

I know. Just rest.

Don't go anywhere.

I'm right here.

Oh, God.

Open the door, open the door!

Please open the door!

Hurry.

Hurry, Ben. Please, hurry.

Hurry.

Mom? Mom?

Mom!

Mom?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, wake up! Wake up, Mom!

Mom! Mom, wake up!

Wake up.

Oliver. Oh, my God, Oliver.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

- It's okay, Mom. It's okay.

- I'm so sorry.

We gotta get out of here.

Ben.

Where have you been?

I was at the hospital.

There was some trouble, but I'm here now.

Oh, God. Oh, my God,

you wouldn't believe what's happened.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I know how afraid you've been, Carol.

But you don't have to be

afraid ever again.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

- No, no, no.

- No, just... Just listen to me.

No, not you.

- Dr. Ben.

- Hey, Ollie.

Get away from him! You come here!

- Carol.

- Get away!

- Get away from us!

- Carol, look at yourself.

Is this who you are?

Is this who you want to be?

We were wrong to fight them.

No. No.

- Remember our trip up to Colorado?

- Shut up.

- Do you remember the aspen grove?

- Shut up. Shut up!

How beautiful and peaceful it was.

- Remember what you said to me?

- I didn't say anything to you!

You wondered what it'd be like

if people could live more like those trees...

...completely connected

with each other, in harmony.

As one.

You're not Ben. I know you're not Ben.

I'm not just Ben...

...l'm more than Ben.

Stop! Don't open that door!

Have you seen the television?

Have you read the newspapers?

See what's happening,

what we're offering?

A world without war, without poverty,

without murder, without rape.

A world without suffering.

Because in our world, no one can

hurt each other or exploit each other...

...or destroy each other,

because in our world, there is no other.

You know it's right, Carol.

Deep down inside,

you know that fighting us...

...is fighting for all the wrong things.

Carol...

...you know it's true.

Our world is a better world.

What about Ollie?

- We'll take care of him.

- How?

Tell me how!

There is no room

for someone who is immune.

Mom? Mom!

Don't touch my child!

No one touches my child!

- Will you kill us all?

- lf I have to.

- We have to stop you.

- You can't stop me.

But we have to try.

Could you shoot me so easily?

No.

Run!

Run! Let's go!

Get in the car. Go!

That's Ben's.

- Hello?

- Carol, is that you?

- Steven?

- We're waiting for Ben. Is he with you?

Oh, God, Steven.

Steven, we need your help.

Carol, where are you?

Carol, what is happening? Carol.

Carol, where are you? Carol?

Mom?

Carol!

Carol!

Mom!

Mom! Wake up!

Mom!

Look! Mom!

Look!

No!

Go, go!

Ollie, the phone. Get the phone!

Carol, what's going on? Carol!

Carol, where are you?

I'm in a helicopter. We're over the city.

He says he's in a helicopter!

Where are we?

I don't know.

I think we're heading south on 13th.

South on 13th!

You need to get to the Carlson Building.

It has a landing pad.

- We're almost there. Are you close?

- Yeah, we're a couple of blocks away.

Mom, I hear it!

There!

Carol, you're almost there.

There's a parking garage under the building.

Couple blocks up ahead on your right.

- Mom!
