Zodiac: Signs of the Apocalypse Page #3

What is that?

Ugh!

Wha...

- He's out cold.

- What was that?

Proof.

Field team, report!

The scopes are dead, I can't see anything!

Field!

Someone tell me what's going on out there!

- What happened?

- I don't know yet.

You've never even gotten a speeding ticket

and now you're stealing trucks

from the Department of Defense.

- Borrowing.

- It's government property.

- I pay my taxes.

- I don't think it works like that.

Please,

please tell me this is not about the rock.

Okay, I won't tell you.

- You're scaring me.

- Colin! Look...

you've seen everything I have seen.

There's nine signs left, nine disasters.

And based on what I've seen,

I don't see how we survive any of it.

And the stone is somehow involved.

I need to get it before Woodward does.

He doesn't trust the end-of-the-world guy.

Shocking.

Colin, just... Just stay right there.

Dad, we can't be here.

You saw what that thing did. We...

Oh, my God.

This is so stupid.

Woodward.

Frakkin' Tyler.

This is Agent Tyler.

I'm on my way to the test site now.

Dad, we gotta get out of here.

- Copy that.

- Dad, we gotta go.

We have to go.

All right. Go! Go!

Come on!

Now you're scaring me.

My flight response kicked in.

I can't control it.

Slow down and tell your flight response

to stay off the main roads. Okay?

Keep an eye out for Aries.

Oh, and being chased by

government agents isn't enough.

I want checkpoints. I want phone taps.

I want the works. Yeah.

- The hell happened here?

- The stone happened here.

Which the professor still has.

Which I want back.

This time let's, uh,

try not to lose any vehicles.

- This is unbelievable.

- Yes, sir.

How could the stone do this?

I don't know.

Absolutely.

This facility and everything in it

is now property of the Defense Department.

What?! Why?

National security.

You can't do that!

That power cannot be in civilian hands.

Not Polydynamics, not Professor Martin,

not you, nobody.

Do you understand that?

Yeah, I'm here.

Yes, they've been informed.

- We need to find Neil.

- We've secured the site.

Absolutely. I'm on my way there now.

So, where we going?

We need to get back to that cave.

You can't seriously want to go back there.

- It was wiped out by a tsunami.

- No, you don't know that for sure.

Well,

you don't know the world's ending for sure.

Look, Colin,

I don't have all the answers yet.

But I know what we've seen is only

the beginning of what's to come.

The drawings in that cave,

the mechanism that's there,

this stone... It's all part of a puzzle.

We solve that and maybe we can stop this.

Drive careful, all right?

We've got a 100-mile perimeter in place.

Good. I wanna know as soon as he's spotted.

One more thing.

Kathryn and Sophie are missing.

Well, we can't drive to Peru,

and if we go to the

airport we'll be arrested.

- What the hell are you doing?!

- Where's the stone?

- You lied to me.

- I risked my career coming here!

- Dad!

- Aries.

Kathryn, grab the bag!

Let's get outta here! Come on!

- Go! Let's go!

- Go!

What is it?

Look out!

Dad!

It's everywhere!

Watch it!

Ah!

I think it's over.

You were right.

You described it almost perfectly.

Yeah, well, I wish I was wrong. Come on.

Yes, sir. We'll all be praying.

Yes, sir.

Woodward.

Hang on. What do you got?

Found remnants of the truck

off-road about 15 miles out.

- No bodies.

- Text me that. The stone?

Negative.

We did pick up a signal

from Kathryn's cell.

It's faint, but we're triangulating it now.

Okay.

Woodward.

- What?

- Sir.

Those geysers or whatever you wanna call

'em,

they did look a bit like the Aries sign.

Hang on.

Yeah,

and atomic explosions look like mushrooms,

but I don't put 'em on my pizza.

I don't wanna hear about...

that zodiac theory from that nut job.

Yes, sir.

Hang on.

Volcanic eruptions happened

as far away as Moscow,

Paris is completely obliterated.

The president has declared marshal law

and moved the entire cabinet

into emergency shelters,

and what do I have?

Oh, a nutty professor runnin'

around with a suitcase nuke.

You find that professor,

you find that stone, you secure it,

you do your job, and you do it now!

Yes, sir.

Idiot!

No, not you. I don't have that information.

Let me ask you something.

You actually buy into all this stuff?

Some guy from Sumeria

foreseeing the future?

Sumer, not Sumeria.

Seriously? You're worse than him.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I'm just worried.

My, uh, folks are

traveling overseas.

- First time in Europe.

- Ah.

My mom was nervous.

I told her she'd be safe.

Now I can't get ahold of her.

The phones are probably down.

How about your family?

My parents died a long time ago.

Colin's mom, she...

She left when he was five.

Other than the occasional

birthday and Christmas call,

- we don't hear from her.

- I don't mean to pry.

No, it's okay.

I'm the lucky one, I got Colin.

Colin... that's why you haven't

been in the field for 15 years.

It's tough to trail after Bowles

when your kid's in kindergarten.

I have no regrets.

Yeah, well, you're in the field now.

That I am.

Okay.

All right, look.

This is next, okay?

Okay, everyone?

- This is Libra.

- Another tidal wave?

No, that's a different zodiac sign.

It'll be a completely different event.

Each... each sign is associated

with an element, okay?

Scorpio is a water sign, tsunamis.

Aries is a fire sign.

That sure seems to make sense, right?

Right, Leo is also a fire sign...

Exploding meteors.

- Libra's air.

- Exactly.

Okay, so air...

a tornado?

No, the line is parallel to the ground.

- Heavy winds?

- Then what's that arch on top?

- A cloud?

- Meh.

Well, I don't know,

I'm lookin' at two lines in the dirt.

Look, there's a way to figure this out,

right?

The cuneiform in the cave

called the stone the shield.

Now I believe it has the

power to shield us.

Oh, wait.

- I've seen this before.

- What?

In Iraq. Yeah, we found these tablets

with paintings of ancient

schematics on them.

- Sophie.

- Here.

That was all over them.

This is what led us to Peru.

Looks like some kind of machine.

Wait, this is it.

This links the stone, Nibiru,

and the zodiac disasters all together.

This...

this is what we've been missing.

Wait.

There are only half the tablets here,

at best.

Where are the rest?

Where would Bowles have kept them?

Okay...

anything of value that

we acquired with Bowles

would have been auctioned

off to fund other digs.

Auction, okay. Auctioned to whom?

There's a database listing,

if I can get online.

Great, we need to find a computer.

Let's go.

And a car.

You guys hear that?

- It's a car.

- Ooh.

Hey, come on! Hey!

- Stop!

- Stop!

- Hey!

- Stop!

Look!

- Okay.

- You certainly made my job easier.

The stone. Now.

Look, just take it easy, all right?

We're on the same team.

- We just need to get online.

- We found the missing piece.

Tyler, with your help, look,

we can stop this, all right?

Come on, Tyler Stand down.
