Zodiac: Signs of the Apocalypse Page #2

What, not up on your doomsday prophesies?

Guess not.

Dad!

See, Bowles, he...

He loved legends.

Especially ones based on historical facts.

He chased lots, but there was one...

one that he was absolutely obsessed with.

He searched his entire life.

Maybe he was cl...

Maybe he was close after all.

You think the stone is hidden here?

How do you know about the stone?

What's happening?

Stay back.

Dad?

Kathryn!

Dad?

Interesting.

It's not just some kind of puzzle, it's...

- It's a machine.

- What did you do?

I don't know. I didn't do anything.

Kathryn.

Here.

Should we be doing that?

Ancient civilizations built

all kinds of elaborate puzzles.

Even complex devices.

In Greece,

they found an analog computer device

that's over 2,000 years old.

Look.

I just found your unicorn.

Uh...

Hello? Dad!

Don't touch it.

What is that?

Why do you have that?

Dad!

Colin. Colin!

Dad!

Dad!

Colin!

Colin!

You okay? Dad!

- Colin!

- Are you okay?

Colin!

Colin!

You okay?

What's... what's going on?

- There's someone in here!

- What?!

There's someone buried in here.

Give me a hand.

There, got it.

Oh, my God. It's Sophie.

Is she alive?

Kathryn, call for a helivac now! Go!

Here, help me.

That's all right.

- Careful, grab her hip.

- Watch your head.

We gotta get her outta here!

Come on, we gotta go!

Colin, we gotta get her outta here!

Get the other side.

Come on.

Come on.

Yeah, come on!

This way!

This is Keen,

we need immediate air lift evac onsite!

I repeat,

immediate evac at the mine entrance.

Chopper inbound. ETA in six minutes.

Come on, Colin!

Come on, let's go!

Come on!

- Almost there.

- Okay.

- Yeah, come on!

- You got her?

We gotta go!

Come on!

Get in the car. Just get in the car!

- Where is it?

- Come on! No! Keep going!

- Go, go, go!

- Is she breathing?

Hold on! Hold on!

Oh! Come on!

It's getting closer!

Hang on everybody! Hang on!

Why are we still here?

- Dad?

- Huh?

Oh, they just need to ask their

questions then we're free to go.

If we want to.

We do want to, right?

Honestly, I'm getting tired of this

whole extreme archaeology thing.

What does this even mean?

What does this even mean?

I'm not 100% sure yet. Have you seen...

What does this look like? Huh?

I don't know. A hair pin?

No, have you seen...

have you seen this shape recently?

Look closer, Colin.

I don't know.

Back home... Back home, the meteors.

I think they... I think this is Leo.

Leo as in what?

- The zodiac sign Leo?

- Exactly.

Here. Then there's this.

Look at this.

The twin peaks rushing at us, right?

- Tidal wave.

- Dad.

Colin, what if... what if the zodiac

isn't birth signs, or astrology.

What if it's a prediction?

That would make, what?

Wait a second.

Aries.

Okay, you need to take a step

back and just listen to yourself

because honestly I...

Kathryn, you gotta see this.

Professor Martin, I'm Agent Tyler.

We're ready for you.

Terrific. I need to speak to Kathryn Keen.

Dad, you're gonna want to

get your facts straight

- before you go public.

- Come on.

Please.

You sure you're up for this, Soph?

Yeah. I'm fine.

It helps being here.

Miss Keen? Professor Martin...

Kathryn, the carvings in the cave

I think I found something.

You did.

And your country is grateful.

Uh...

You're welcome.

- Woodward, D.O.D.

- Neil Martin.

You don't look any worse for wear.

If it wasn't for you,

I'd be under water so...

thank you.

The zodiac.

I think it's some kind of warning.

- Zodiac?

- What if the disasters

that we've seen across the globe

are tied to the zodiac symbols we found?

Look at this.

Ball lightning in China.

Capricorn.

See the similarities?

And then we saw... We saw Leo firsthand.

Meteors wreaking havoc across

the Northern Hemisphere.

Then we have Scorpio.

Scorpio, tsunamis across South America.

That's three signs, there are nine left.

I think it's some kind of, uh...

like a countdown.

And, if I'm right, Aries is next.

We need to figure out what this is.

- Looks kinda like a fountain.

- Possibly.

Yeah, look,

I think it's some kind of energy.

Like forcing upwards. Possibly a...

Professor, what does any of

this have to do with the stone?

The stone?

Dad, I think we should go.

Thank you, Professor.

Can we start the test?

- Two minutes.

- Dad...

Wait, wait.

Now that you have the stone, that's it?

Years of research by Bowles led to this.

This...

this could be a revolutionary power source.

- All of our global energy issues...

- Energy? This isn't about energy.

Yes, it is, and we're grateful

for your help, Professor,

but we'll take it from here.

No. Kathryn, you're...

What is this?

Images from the space

agencies heliospheric feed.

Apparently our solar

system has a new member.

How long have you known about this?

Just discovered.

We think a combination of

the extremely long orbit

and... and the path that it

tracked behind the sun...

Wait a sec... That's the cave.

One elongated path crossing the

orbit of the other eight planets.

Like somehow they knew.

Nibiru, the stone, the ninth planet.

- Nibiru?

- Look, it's all connected.

Professor,

that's a really interesting theory.

Look, if this is real,

the legend of Nibiru is

about the end of the world.

Okay, Professor. Thank you.

Agent Tyler will make sure

- you and your son get home safe.

- Kathryn, wait a...

Miss Keen, can we please start the test?

- Let's go, Professor.

- Kathryn!

Final positions.

Remember when you taught me

to always lead with the facts?

I was leading with the facts.

I'm not some crazy person

ranting about the End of Days.

The zodiac is a roadmap

to coming destruction?

Exactly.

Dad, if it sounds crazy, it usually is.

Get in the car.

What if he's right?

- Not now, Sophie.

- I'm just saying.

I see the similarities.

Bowles trusted him, and from what I saw...

Bowles knew to temper his theories

until he had concrete evidence.

We believe the stone was encased in lead

to shield it from specific rays of light

that would trigger a powerful reaction.

Our test will blast the stone

with the whole spectrum of rays

from radio to gamma so we can isolate

the frequency that triggers it.

Go ahead.

Fire up the D.E.W.s.

Directed-energy weapons activating.

Nothing.

Moving to infrared.

Infrared activating.

Moving to ultraviolet.

Ultraviolet activating.

Moving to gamma.

Gamma activating.

Still nothing.

Copy that.

Yes, you think I'm crazy.

I get it. I understand.

Indulge me, all right?

Look, we need to figure out what Aries is.

Enough. Shut it down.

I just need about an hour

to run some diagnostics.

- Don't bother.

- Shutdown commencing.

Yeah, it's me.

Tell the senator I'm available after all.

- Wait.

- Miss Keen,

I wanted this to work

just as much as you did.

- Energy level rising.

- What's that? What's happening?

- Energy level rising.

- The stone's reacting.

What did you do?

Nothing, we're shut down.

Sophie.

That's not us.
