All right.
Fuck!
Sorry.
You're not registered to leave, Professor.
Call your superiors.
And where exactly are you going?
Are you deaf?
Where are you going?
Jobsworth.
Just get back to work.
You know what's going to happen next, don't you?
I'm going to phone your boss's boss,
and before the end of the day is out,
you're not only gonna be out of a job,
but you're also gonna be locked up in a cell
for putting this country in jeopardy.
And that bike of a wife of yours,
and your underachieving spawn,
will have no one to put food on the table anymore.
Or you could just quite simply open this gate,
and carry on living with your useless existence in peace.
But the one thing you don't want to do, sonny boy,
is make me finish this cigarette here.
Let him through.
It was only a matter of time, I suppose.
Make your way up.
Yeah, put the gun away.
Look, this isn't America, woman!
People just don't go around carrying guns.
License.
Look, I don't feel particularly comfortable with that-
License now.
Do anything unexpected,
and I will put a bullet through your brain.
Understood.
Whoa, whoa, back up!
Drop it.
Carry on back.
Yeah, I bet you love your job?
- Idiot. - Why is that?
You should burn your trail,
and destroy all traces of yourself when you go on the run.
I didn't run.
Yeah, at least not from you, anyway.
You must have realized we were tracking you?
I was counting on it.
Who's here?
- What? - Are you alone?
You must be really popular with your friends?
Answer the question.
What difference does it make?
The difference is a round through your skull,
or you get to live life a little bit longer!
I'm alone.
Good.
So how do you want to do this?
Do what exactly?
I'm not holding this for fun.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Now, look, you don't want to do this.
You knew this would happen if you went on the run.
I didn't run!
What'd you call this then?
The briefcase.
Those are your last words?
The briefcase.
You need what's inside.
What's inside?
The Henco.
Get on your knees!
Look, I'll make a deal with you.
Shut up!
Yeah, I have him.
No, he says he has the Henco.
Confirmed.
Please tell me that was good news?
Up.
Get up!
Well, okay, okay, okay, okay!
Pick up that briefcase.
Move.
Stop.
In.
Sorry, did you just say in?
Get in.
What the hell?!
No, no, this wasn't part of the deal.
There is no deal.
Put that down.
You know, you have a real personality problem,
you know that?
I'm about two seconds away from knocking you out.
I bet you used to press doorbells and run, didn't you?
You probably stole children's ice cream as well.
Afternoon, ma'am.
What's going on?
Just a routine road check.
Out here?
What are you hoping to find?
Where is he?
I'm sorry?
We're both here for the same reason.
- I don't know what your-- - Get out of the car.
Out.
Last time.
All right.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Who sent you, hmm?
Who are you working with?
You can get out now.
Ahhhh...
You all right?
I've just been stuck in the boot of a car
for god knows how long!
How'd you think I am?
You look all right.
Yeah, well, I'm not.
And you just shot someone.
It was necessary.
Oh, so you just killed him?
Yep.
There were no other options?
So you just killed him.
Are you gonna cooperate with me,
or I can just shut you back in the boot?
Is that your answer to everything, is it?
When in doubt, shoot.
If there's a threat.
Oh, and I'm a threat, am I?
Me, an old man, yeah?
And what hope do I have against you?
I'll be honest with you here,
I don't feel particularly safe
with a trigger happy lunatic
constantly waving a gun around.
Alright, I'm- PROFESSOR: What are you doing?
Let's just try and get along.
You are nuts,
eh?
One second, you have your hand on the gun,
the next, you want to make friends.
I'm trying to make you feel comfortable.
Yeah, well, why now?
You're still valuable to us,
even more now than you were before.
We want what's best for you.
Yeah, and what's best for me is not to be
in the enemy's hands, yeah?
Exactly. So I'm here to protect you.
Yeah, until you're told otherwise.
So what do I call you,
or are you just a gun for hire?
My name's Ellen.
Well, screw you, Ellen!
Where are we going?
Ellen?
Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen-
What?
Where are we going?
A secure facility.
Oohh, that sounds ominous.
We'll be safe there.
What happens when we get there?
I'll hand you to one of my colleagues.
And then?
I don't know.
It works best if I don't know what happens
or where you're moved to.
It's safer for everyone that way.
I thought you said you were going to protect me?
That's exactly what I'm doing.
You seem like a bright girl, I think?
Yeah, let's assume that you are.
Let's assume you know exactly who I am, that I'm not
just some old person that your superiors have told--
Get on with it!
Look, whatever they told you,
it's not safe there for either of us.
You need to...
What is it you people say?
"Burn our trails."
"Throw away the phone."
"Ditch the car."
Look, we're both in danger.
If your people know where we are, so do mine.
No one knows where we are except for my unit,
and I can trust them.
You can trust them.
Really?
Trust me.
Now, how do I trust someone who only follows orders, hmm?
Don't even think about it.
I don't follow orders.
In my car, you do.
You weren't told to stop me getting
lung cancer as well, were you?
No.
But if you arrive with a few broken bones,
it doesn't matter to me.
Don't!
Or?
I will punch you in the face
until that cigarette falls out your mouth.
Seriously?
Try it!
See, normally I'd be curious, hmm,
but not today.
Not with you.
You're the one that's going to suffer anyway.
And why is that?
Because I get really ratty when I don't smoke!
Where is it?
You'll see when we get there.
No, my case?
In the back.
Well, considering its contents,
you don't care very much, hmm?
- Don't. - Don't what?
Open it.
Don't you want to see?
I still don't know what you've got inside there.
What are you scared of?
Do you think I'm like you, that I carry a piece, hmm?
So aren't you going to ask?
Ask what?
What makes me so special,
and why your people wanted me dead,
but now, they want me alive?
You are alive because of the Henco.
Yeah, but that doesn't answer why
you were sent to kill me.
You were trading information with the government.
What type of information?
Oh, wait, it's above your pay grade.
I'm not going to argue with you, old man!
Just out of curiosity, what do you do?
- What, my job? - Yep.
Oh, I'm a- PROFESSOR: You know,
what's your job title?
I'm trying to tell- PROFESSOR: I just want
- To be clear. - Yeah, but if you listen-
I don't care about you,
no one cares about you!
It doesn't matter what you do.
I'm the one who's important here, not you!
You're expendable!
God, you're a nasty old drunk.
They left that out your file.
I'm hungover, yeah,
and this,
this is the only thing that's keeping my nerves at ease
since I was almost executed.
You're still an alcoholic.
Well, I'm not contesting that.
What are you doing now?
Getting my file.
What makes you think I got it with me?
You people are so predictable.
- That so? - Yeah.
I bet you, my file is...
Oh, hang on, wait.
Don't tell me you don't bet?
So predictable.
You don't see me ruffling through your things.
Ah-ha!
You tried to open my case.
The combination had changed.
You just didn't succeed.
You point that finger at me again and I will break it off.
God, you're like a child!
3-7-3-6-7-1.
- What? - The code.
I didn't expect that.
That's the code to my case, not my life.
No, that's not what I meant.
Well, we got off on the wrong foot.
- I can read this? - Mm-hmm.
It's about you, after all.
There's nothing in here about the Henco.
Why would there be?
Yep, that's me.
My life, my time on Earth.
You know, I came here a young man to begin my research.
I sacrificed everything for my work,
and then some.
You know, I never got homesick before-
Why are you telling me this?
Do you know what it's like
to truly devote your entire life to a cause,
and then realize, you didn't believe in it?
Well, you were young and ambitious.
You wanted to help mankind.
Yeah, but it was all lies.
And you turned into a drunk,
and now you are on the run.
Oh, is that right?
What a waste of a brilliant mind.
Yeah, but you don't know me.
No, I don't know about you, Professor.
I didn't just read your file.
Well, I'll be damned!
I'm in the presence of a fan.
I know about the young, controversial scientists.
You forced physicists to completely rethink
the science of black holes.
God, a Nobel Prize at the age of 23!
A genius of our time.
No university education.
A gift to mankind.
I read all about you as a child.
I read about your series.
Yeah, but you certainly didn't appear starstruck
when you first met me.
Do you normally go around trying to blow the brains out
of all your childhood idols, hmm?
Who's next on the list, Tina Turner,
Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, who?
You were a threat.
Threats have to be taken out.
You think you're Carrie Mathison.
I am just doing my job.
Yeah, well, I failed at mine.
Obviously not,
I mean, if you've made the Henco.
What's so funny?
There's nothing in your briefcase, is there?
Do you think I would've gone to such lengths to hide it,
if it wasn't real?
What is this place?
It was the test facility the '50s.
What did they test?
The US had MK Ultra and Britain had this.
Apparently, we were more successful, though,
but I wouldn't know.
That was before my time.
And?
Oh, only a handful of us know about this place now.
They did test on us during our training.
What type of tests?
What type of tests, Ellen?
It's time for you to show me what inside that briefcase.
Through there, go on.
Through there.
There's no need for that.
Don't try anything stupid.
I thought you were protecting me?
I still don't know what's in there.
The Henco.
So this is it?
What else were you expecting?
Professor?!
What the hell?
Ellen.
How do you know my name?
- I - know everything.
Come on, where the fuck am I?
Inside the Henco.
Who are you?
Soon, you will know.
What am I doing here?
You are being prepared.
For what?
It doesn't matter now.
You're not safe.
You must go.
I don't understand.
You're in danger.
The Henco.
So this is it?
What else were you expecting?
Something isn't right.
- Ellen? - From outside.
But where are you going?
Oh, wait for me!
Ellen?
Ellen, what's going on?
What the fuck?!
- Are you all right? - What is going on here?
Are you okay?
How did you know he was here?
Shit!
I had a feeling.
I told you it wasn't safe to be here.
We need to go now!
What is going on?
Tell me, what is going on?!
I killed him before.
No, you just simply can't kill them.
Them?!
- Yeah, my people. - Your people?!
Your people?! Who are your people?!
Please!
Alpha Centaurians.
Is that the name of your unit?
It's the name of my race.
Oh, come on!
Think about it, Ellen!
That man back there, the Henco.
- You're lying to me. - Oh, really?
I would've been told about that.
Why are you laughing?!
You're just a pawn!
So am I!
I mean, they want me alive,
but that's only because they still need me.
Don't!
We need some support.
Think about what you're doing.
They're only going to tell you to go somewhere else,
and then you're gonna risk being killed again.
You said it yourself, "There's only a handful
of people who know about this place!"
Something must have gone wrong.
Yeah, what went wrong
was that your people made a deal with mine,
and then they told them where we were.
Yeah, we came close to being killed.
Hmm?
I can't...
- Oh, god! - Ellen? Ellen?
Could you just... It'll be alright.
- Oh, god! - Ellen, come on.
- Just keep calm! - This is crazy!
This is bullshit!
Oh, look...
Look, it'll be all right.
It's all right.
Just deep breaths, Ellen.
Come on, deep breaths for me.
That's it, deep breaths.
Ellen, liste to me.
I can tell you the truth.
I can tell you what's really going on here,
but I need you to be strong.
Ellen, I need you to keep your shit together.
I need you to protect me.
What's the point?
Well, do it for yourself then.
It doesn't matter.
All right, well, then don't do it for yourself!
Don't do it for me,
but do it for your race.
Do it for your humanity.
Ellen, if he catches me,
if they take me back,
if he takes me back, then it's all over.
What do you mean by that?
Let me...
Let me have a look at that, hmm?
Please.
What are you going to do that?
Trust me, hmm?
Your arm's going to be numb for a while.
Let's go.
Let's go!
What was that that you used back there to heal me?
- This? - Mm-hmm.
- This is my Sennai. - Your what?
Look, it's kind of hard to explain.
I guess you humans would say,
that part of my soul is in the Sennai.
Are you pulling my leg?
Surely, your understanding of what is
and isn't possible has changed?
So you're telling me that is a part of your soul?
Yes and no.
A part of my soul exists in my Sennai.
Why?
My soul powers the Sennai
and the Sennai has the ability to change matter.
Look, it's hard to explain.
Look, I guess the easiest way to understand it is,
the Sennai can move protons and electrons at rapid speeds,
allowing matter to be changed.
Show me.
All Sennai are linked
If I use this, you'll know exactly where we are.
I don't know if I'd give up part of my soul
for that ability.
I wouldn't either.
But you did.
Well, my whole civilization did, but not for that.
No, they did it because the Sennai is indestructible.
It can't be destroyed.
So you're immortal?
Part of me is, yes.
The part of me that exists in my Sennai.
Nothing in the entire universe can destroy it?
Except a black hole.
What I don't get is what you were doing here?
I know you were trading information with the government,
but what exactly were you trading?
Information to help your race to evolve,
evolve on a very specific path.
What kind of information?
Your cars, your TVs, your weapons, your bombs, everything,
we gave it to you.
Then why?
Why help us?
The universe is a huge field of potential.
Only a tiny portion of what can happen actually does happen.
Anything in it, everything, is possible.
I changed your civilization
and ensured that certain things are never in existence.
Sounds very noble of you.
Yeah, but that's what your people thought.
What's the real reason?
By controlling what comes into your civilization,
we can ensure that you're ready.
For what?
Ready for what?
To...
To be enslaved.
The human race won't stand by and let that happen.
We've set you on a path, a very specific path,
a path of self-destruction.
The human race will destroy itself,
or at least come close to destroying itself,
and then we will come.
We will be your saviours.
We will be the gods you need.
Sounds like killing you
might be my only option.
Killing me won't change a thing.
Your race is already in self-destruct mode.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Anything's possible, right?
In most cases, yeah, but not this one.
Either I get back to my people,
and we continue with our plans to enslave the human race,
or I don't,
and then they will wipe out all existence of this planet.
I thought you had a plan to save us?
I do.
A third possibility.
Well, what is it?!
Look, I need to show you,
but before I show you anything, we need to disappear.
You're late.
I was hopin' you'd been shot.
Yeah, but we got caught up in something.
Yeah, well, I don't like waiting.
Yeah, well, we're here now.
Yeah, I can see that.
Who's the bird?
Careful.
A friend.
You know a lot of people are looking for you.
That's why we're here.
Is everything ready?
And?
In the glove box.
No, that's not what I meant.
Look, you can take the car,
you're not getting anything else of mine.
Understood.
Let's go.
Wait!
They're tracking your phone.
Pass it.
Feel lucky?
Some chance.
What's in the glove box?
Take a look.
Oh, you've got to be kidding?!
Hand them over.
What is so special about those?
- Bingo! - What?
Salt and vinegar.
Mmm, can I have one?
No, they're mine.
Nice.
Well, actually,
I could really use a nice cold one
to wash it all down with now.
We're not stopping for alcohol.
Yeah, well, you're forgetting something, hmm?
I'm in the driver's seat.
I hope you know where we're going?
Oh, we're off to meet someone.
Well, that's not part of the plan.
What plan?
Well, I thought that we were going to go-
Yeah, well, I thought we were working together now?
You know, maybe it's because you're still drunk,
you think I wouldn't see through your bullshit?
I'm stone cold sober, that's the problem.
You know, if I was drunk, I might even fancy you.
Imagine that?
Screw you.
If I was drunk, I'd see past that hard exterior of yours.
Enough!
Look, I just want a drink, hmm?
I'm a lot nicer when I have a drink in me, I promise.
And I'm hungry.
People are hunting you down,
and you want to stop for food?
Yeah, well, they're hunting you, too.
I know.
I still want some answers.
It's probably cold by now
It's rancid.
Who makes a roast chicken in a diner?
You should eat.
You didn't!
I'm not hungry.
That's it.
No one will bother us now.
We're good to go.
You like chicken?
This isn't chicken.
Oh, and bring me a drink.
None of that soft drink shit either.
And you call her a friend?
Yep.
Doubt she calls you that, though.
There's no need to be mean.
God, you're incredible!
I'm hungry!
Where's my drink?
This isn't a pub.
Yeah, I know that!
Then stop asking for the impossible.
But you're telling me,
there's no alcohol on these premises?
I've got white spirit, that's about it.
You're looking old.
Well, you're no sign of beauty yourself.
It's this planet.
It's changed me.
I can see that.
Who is she?
She was sent to kill me.
So you thought you'd bring her along?
Oh, she's protecting me now.
Of all the people on this planet, you chose her?
What are you talking about?
It's fate.
I thought, after all these years,
you'd a stopped that fate malarkey.
It's the only option we have left.
You said you wanted to help.
That's right.
You sure you want to do this?
Let's get on with it.
What are you going to do?
Be quiet!
Are you ready?
It's happening.
What?
The Henco's absorbing all of her memories,
experiences, everything about her.
Why?
So that my people can learn from her.
Why don't you just ask her?
No, it would take billions upon billions of years
to fully explain everything she's experienced,
every memory, every thought,
conscious and unconscious.
Why do you need her memories and her experiences?
Well, like me,
there are people here gathering information,
information that needs to be gathered.
God!
Leave her.
She's your friend!
Yeah, we need to go.
Her Sennai would've released a massive amount of energy,
and he'll be able to track it.
Give me the keys then.
You don't even know where we're going!
Well, it's time to start sharing.
I am in this with you!
What happened to her Sennai?
The Henco absorbed it.
I thought nothing could destroy a Sennai?
The Henco can.
When I was briefed,
I was told that the Henco could provide
an endless supply of energy.
Just another lie, I guess?
Not quite.
It is an endless supply of energy,
but it's much more than that.
It has endless possibilities.
What do you mean?
Well, I haven't learned everything about it yet.
But you made it,
you must know what it can do?
Well, technically, I only made the device.
I didn't create what's inside.
What's inside?
A black hole.
You made a black hole?
No, I encapsulated a black hole,
and I found a way to harness its energy.
- Why? - Well, its energy sits
between existence and non-existence.
No, no, no, no!
Why do this?
Because I believe it is the keyhole to another universe,
the universe of non-existence.
I don't care about what you believe.
I just want to know what you're using it for.
I told you, to gather experiences!
Yeah, but what are you using those experiences for?
To help my civilization evolve faster,
and then that way,
we can learn all there is to know about your race,
so that we can truly manipulate and enslave you.
I still don't know how I'm helping Earth
by letting you do this?
For the first time,
my civilization has fully experienced emotions,
and then by doing this, we will learn compassion,
and hopefully, spare yours.
Hopefully?
Hope is all we have left.
You seem different.
It's this place.
It does that.
You know why I'm here?
Not a clue.
Really?
Why don't you tell me?
Why are you still pretending to be human?
I'm not.
Very interesting.
Much to learn.
But now, I must carry out my orders.
I don't want trouble.
This isn't just about you.
Then who is this about?
- What's he doing? - Who?
You must know.
The professor.
Carrying out his orders, I thought?
Then why is he running?
Didn't think he was.
I don't understand.
What?
Why you're not cooperating.
You are different.
It's been a long time.
I need information and you are not providing it.
Now, I must torture you.
You aren't authorized to do that.
No, that's right, I'm not,
unless you're a traitor.
Are you a traitor?
I'm no traitor.
Your Sennai is gone.
He used the Henco.
I thought he was authorized to use it.
He is not authorized to use it without a guardian present,
you know this.
But you're here now.
You are providing me with conflicting information.
You're a traitor.
I'm trying to help our people.
How?
I was warned about this.
Emotion, they call it.
That's a weakness.
I just don't suppress them anymore.
So you are like them now?
You feel.
We all do.
You've just forgotten.
Love,
compassion,
joy,
all the feelings you feel now, correct?
Yes.
And I feel better for it.
What about fear?
Terror?
Complete utter despair?
Go ahead, shoot me.
I need information first.
But if you do feel terror, then I must use it.
What do you mean?
I'm going to drag you across the floor.
I'm going to put that fryer on high.
I'm going to hold your face in it until you pass out.
And then, when you regain consciousness,
I will start peeling off your skin with one of your knives,
and the whole time, I will not feel compassion.
I will have no sympathy.
I will not stop torturing you
until I have the required information.
He's gathering experiences.
That is his mission.
You are providing me with no new information.
He thinks it can change us.
How?
He believes humans have changed us.
He thinks they can change us further.
He says that, "When you see how emotion has affected us,
you won't allow the Henco to return".
You have been infected.
Do you ever feel guilty?
For what?
Well, of the things you've done.
Sometimes, but I try not to think about it.
Ever been in love?
What kind of a question is that?
It's a simple one.
Is there anyone special in your life?
No.
Ever?
I'll take that as a yes then.
There was someone once.
Oh, what happened then?
It was a long distance thing.
And?
Well, he gave up
everything for me, really, and...
I have a job.
What about family?
Jesus!
Am I on a couch?
I don't want you inside my head.
I am not sharing my life with you.
All right, then I'll share.
Ask me a question then.
I can't think of anything.
- Oh, try. - No.
All right, have you ever been in love?
That's original.
Well...
Look, love is new to me.
It doesn't exist where I come from.
That's really sad.
Not really, not if you don't know otherwise.
Yeah, but you do now, right?
Well, I've experienced emotions since I've been on Earth.
So has there been anyone?
Well, you know there wasn't.
I mean, you've read my whole life.
I have learned a lot of things today
that were not included in your report.
No, I was married to my work,
and booze was my mistress.
So yes, I am your typical married old man.
Maybe you'll find a romance,
you know, your final crescendo.
Yeah?
You think that could happen?
Honestly, no, you're way too grumpy.
That's mean.
Mean, mean.
Nah, you're old.
- Old, old. - Yeah.
And so are you!
- I'm in my 30s! - Yeah, and so am I!
Just not here.
Just not now.
And you're old,
just not at this point in space time.
But I am, and you are,
just as I am you, and you will be me.
Infinite possibilities with continuous circles.
Sounds quite spiritual for a scientific mind?
Yeah.
Isn't that the point of science in this galaxy, hmm,
to prove your spiritual beliefs?
What the hell is that?
So tell me about your next victim.
What did you just say?
Who's the next person who's soul we're draining?
Fuck you!
Well, don't be so sensitive!
Thanks for the help, grumpy.
Hey!
We are going to get back on the road.
Oh, you look rough.
I feel like shit.
You haven't had a drink in a while.
Death, Ellen.
Death is approaching.
I thought that wasn't possible?
No, now, come. Come sit.
No, we need to get back on the road.
- Now, come. - Sit.
Come on!
Just stop for a minute, hmm?
- Look. - At what?
Look up.
Imagine a sea of ideas, and possibilities,
and potential outcomes,
so vast, so incredibly vast,
that it almost becomes physical.
Trillions of quadrillions of tredecillion
of potential possibilities
and outcomes all crammed into a tiny space,
that it starts to become like a fog, and then like a gas,
and then like a liquid,
and finally, a solid.
It would be the most dense clump
of anti-matter in the universe.
How do you do it?
Do what?
Risk your life for others, put your life on the line.
No, it's just part of my job.
No! No, you could've left.
You could've left me behind.
And watch my planet be enslaved?
Besides, what would you have done without me?
Come on, let's go.
It's time.
Time for what?
I was hoping to do this somewhere else,
but you need to do this now before it's too late.
What are you doing?
The Henco's gathered all the info
it needs on Earth,
enough for my people to overtake your planet,
but the one thing that it is missing is real human emotion,
and it is that, I believe,
that will give my people a chance.
It will make them change.
And that will, in turn, give them compassion.
What about the lady back there,
your friend?
No, no, no. It's not enough.
They'll just simply say, "She was infected with a disease".
Emotions aren't diseases!
It needs to be you.
Why?
Because you're here now.
Fate, Ellen.
Fate chose you.
- I said, "No". - Please?
Well, what will happen to you?
I'll be mortal like you.
But-
Don't worry about me.
How can you say that?
I've caused enough destruction over so many civilizations.
It's time for me to help.
Ellen, focus on the Henco and listen.
Follow my instructions.
What am I doing?
Listen, Ellen. Inside of you is your past, your future,
your essence, your everything.
The Henco just wants to learn.
Now, concentrate on your family.
I don't have a family.
The family you never had!
I don't understand what you mean by that!
Bring the non-existent into existence.
That's it!
I can see them, but they're not real.
Focus!
I'm ready.
For what?
I want to transfer all my memories, my experiences,
everything about me, to you.
But I know you already.
I know everything about you.
How?
You and and I are one.
It is you who needs to learn what I have gathered,
and let me be part of you once again.
That doesn't make any sense.
Silence.
Why is this taking so long?
Come on.
You're still not ready.
You must surrender yourself.
Ellen?
Come on, Ellen.
Ellen, it'll be all right.
Come on! Huh?
Come on, Ellen!
There you go, Ellen.
Come on.
Lift your legs.
Oh, god!
Ellen?
Oh, what's happening?!
Ellen, Ellen?
Ellen, focus.
Ellen, we're here.
We're in the car.
Oh, I can't deal with this!
Just breathe.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, just breathe, Ellen.
Breathe, that's it.
That's it, nice and slow.
Ellen, Ellen?
Ellen, it's me.
We're in the car.
That's it.
That's it, breathe.
It's all right.
Come.
Ellen, stay focused.
I can't!
I don't want to- PROFESSOR: Yes, you can.
- You can. - I don't want to-
Tell me.
I just...
Mm-hmm.
I just remember staring at the Henco.
Yeah, then what?
I don't know! I don't know, I don't know! I don't know!
Well,...
Was there a haze?
Was there a light? What was-
No, I can't!
I can't remember this!
Go on.
Think.
Slow down and think.
Slow and think.
That's it, go on!
I was staring at the Henco, and then-
And?
Everything is just...
What, blank, blank, and blank-
No, no,
my mind doesn't feel blank. It-
Okay, okay.
Breathe, breathe.
It feels stuff, and-
Uh-huh, stuff.
What stuff? Help me.
It feels like-
Help me here.
Everything!
I don't know!
Look here. Look.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Ellen, Ellen?
We're here.
You and me.
Mm-hmm. - Yeah?
That's it.
That's a girl.
Just breathe.
Mm-mmm.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Come on!
That's...
That's it, Ellen.
That's it.
Breathe.
Just keep breathing, Ellen.
When I was a kid,
I used to lie on the grass and stare at the sky.
Well, it was usually just grey clouds.
But I would stare up at them.
I'd stare for so long
that the clouds would start to distort.
And then I would wonder,
you know, are the stars still there,
even though the sun used to block them,
or even when the clouds covered the sky?
I used to think about what else I didn't know,
because I just couldn't see it.
I used to think if there were other beings.
I wondered if there was another me, you know,
or if there were more than just two of us?
Maybe loads?
Maybe billions and billions of me?
There's only one of you.
You're unique, Ellen, believe me.
Hey, listen, I'll take over.
I'll be fine.
It's not an option.
Just, look, tell me where we are, and I'll take over.
Hey!
Hey, are you okay?
Oh, you're in a bad shape.
Yeah, I guess.
All right.
I know somewhere not far from here.
No!
You need to rest.
Don't worry about me.
No, we both need to.
You're strong.
You'll be fine.
You can get a drink there.
- Drink? - Booze.
Yeah, well, I need a drink.
We're closing soon.
What sort of a pub closes this early?
Yeah, my pub.
I had nowhere else to go.
We need a room.
And I need someone I can trust.
We only have single rooms.
Ahh!
Well, that works for me.
Oh, classy.
And where are the rooms in this fine establishment?
Oh, through the door, up the stairs.
Oh, the rooms, they're clean.
Sheets haven't been washed in a while, but they're clean.
I thank you, kind sir.
So do I get one?
I appreciate it.
I'll be back in a second.
Just don't go anywhere.
Can I get a drink?
Of course.
You're being friendly now?
When wasn't I?
I let you in, got you a bed,
now I'm offering you a drink.
It's a gin and tonic, right?
Oh, you remembered.
A bartender remembers everybody's drink.
Thought I was special.
Yeah, and for the old man?
He'll have a whiskey.
You must know him well if you know his poison?
- Well enough. - Hmm.
So I've got a question for you.
Oh, yeah?
Why here, hmm?
All the places in the world, why here?
I said I'd come one day.
This isn't how I imagined it.
Well, how did you imagine it?
I don't know.
Not like this.
You shouldn't have come.
I told you, I had nowhere else to go.
That's sad.
Who's the boyfriend?
Fine, ignore me.
You're so good at that.
I shouldn't have come.
I'm sorry.
You haven't even finished your drink.
Wait, wait, look, I'm sorry!
What do you expect?
I haven't seen you in...
How'd you expect me to feel?
Happy.
Happy to see me.
Or concerned.
Concerned about what?
What kinda trouble you in?
Sit.
You know you can talk to me, right?
Look, I'm just tired, and, you know, I need to just get a-
A whiskey, if I may please, landlord?
Already poured and waiting.
Ah!
- How did you know? - I didn't.
How did you know?
You stink of whiskey.
I made the logical conclusion.
Only a drunk has such a fine nose for booze.
Yeah, someone who's used to pouring for an alcoholic.
Well, whoever taught you how to pour drinks
obviously never drunk whiskey before.
You do not water down a whiskey.
You drink it neat, straight.
Not where I'm from,
because where I'm from, people show a bit of gratitude.
I am eternally grateful for the drink.
Thank you.
I am also eternally grateful for the room, too.
Thank you again.
You two obviously have a lot to discuss,
so I'll head up to my room.
- Yes, go on. - No, stay.
We've discussed everything we need to.
Come, drink.
A friend of Ellen's a friend of mine.
Well, how about you pour me a proper one now, hmm?
Better yet...
Ah!
How about the whole bottle?
One of those nights, is it?
It's been one of those lives.
And could I please have a nice, clean glass
for my lady friend here?
I don't want this fine liquid contaminated with gin.
She can have mine.
Have a drink with us.
Can't, got plans.
Oh, stay a bit longer, come on!
I can't leave her waiting.
Try not to trash the place, huh?
Will I see you tomorrow?
Only you can answer that.
What are we drinking to?
Love?
No.
Then what?
How about morality, and living one day longer?
Hmm.
You know, you're much more fun to be around
when you have a drink in you.
That sounds like an insult.
Mmm, oh, yeah.
You're much more...
You're more attractive.
Are you flirting with me?
If I had a song, I'd play matchmaker.
You drink too much.
This is for you.
No, I've had enough.
You know, there are very few moments in life,
you get to relax and have a bit of fun.
Well, now, here's one of them.
Another.
I bet you never thought
getting drunk with an old man could be so much fun, hmm?
Maybe I like old things?
You know, I'm not that old.
You are to me.
To Earth, home of the devil's juice.
Home of the devil's juice.
And to dancing.
I don't dance with aliens.
If this was my last day, my last day, pfft, in existence,
would you dance with me then?
No.
It could all be over tomorrow.
It could.
All the more reason to dance with me then.
It's not happening.
I get it.
Change the variables and you get a different outcome, hmm?
This is more difficult than it looks.
Old people and tech.
Screw you!
I invented tech, lady.
Don't forget that.
Just trying to find the perfect song.
That song.
There it is.
Yeah.
There we go.
Ellen, listen.
Listen, Ellen.
Our song.
Mm-hmm.

Don't die on me, okay?
I have no intention of dying on this planet.
Here?
This tree.
This...
This one!
You okay?
Need to find a bigger clearing-
Okay.
To summon the gateway.
This way.
Yeah.
What now?
We keep moving.
- Well, what are you doing? - No, let me smoke!
Are you trying to kill yourself?
No, the nicotine.
The nicotine gives me the rush I need, Ellen.
I'm fine.
Ready?
Mm-hmm.
Oh!
Come on.
No, no, enough!
No more.
Come on, come on.
Come and lie.
Lie beside me here.
We have to return the Henco. We have to go.
Ellen?
Ellen, search for the stars, Ellen.
Get up!
Ellen?
You need to have faith in yourself.
Yes.
Have some faith,
and you will bring the universe back into balance.
Hey, you!
Hey!
Tell me how to summon the gateway.
My soul.
What happens to my soul when I die?
I don't know.
You're a part of me now, right?
Ellen, listen.
I won't die.
I will be you.
Ellen, huh?
And then you...
You will be...
How did you find me?
Your energy has changed.
I thought you were using the Henco,
but it's just you.
Where's the gateway?
It hasn't been summoned.
Summon it.
No.
Where is he?
He's dead.
Is it in there?
Pass it.
The Henco has to be returned to your people.
No.
I should be dead.
I'd never let that happen.
Why?
You're the key, Ellen,
between existence and non-existence.
What does that mean?
We would've met sooner or later.
That is our fate.
I consume all life, all light, everything.
I would've consumed galaxies until I found you.
The Henco just made it happen sooner.
Then what now?
You have sacrificed yourself,
and you are now ready to forget, Ellen.
Forget what?
To forget everything.
Then you will truly comprehend nothingness,
the birthplace of all existence.
Then you will bring balance to the universe.
It's not possible.
How are you still alive?
Answer me!
Where are you going?
I don't blame your people,
but they have to be stopped.
