The Day The Earth Stood Still Page #2

that the object

was not following

a gravitationally freefall trajectory.

As such, its path was recalculated.

It was at this time

a crisis response team was activated

and everything you see around you

was set in motion.

Can we launch a missile to intercept it?

The military is attempting to do just that.

In fact, they may launch several.

But, given the speed

at which this object is moving,

our chances of success are slim, at best.

Why don't they evacuate the area?

We simply do not have enough time.

The affected area contains

some 8 million inhabitants.

The best we can do

is to plan for the aftermath.

How long do we have?

Seventy-eight minutes.

Hey.

What did the cops want, anyway?

Well, there's going to be

a big storm tonight,

and they needed some scientists

to help out, you know,

with planning stuff. So...

Pretty soon you're all gonna

go down to the basement, okay?

I already told Isabel.

I haven't seen anything on TV about...

Jacob, just...

Just do it. All right?

All right. I should go.

Wait... Can we talk

just a little bit longer?

We're having dinner now.

I really should go.

You know I love you very much.

Okay. Bye, Helen.

Is that a cell phone?

Can I borrow it?

What are the odds of an asteroid

making impact in Manhattan?

Astronomical.

Plus, there's no light signature.

Then it can't be an asteroid.

- A primordial black hole, perhaps.

- Do you know what that would mean?

Look, whatever it is,

if this object is moving

at three times 10-to-the-seventh

meters per second,

there will be no aftermath.

If they can't stop it before it hits,

there will be nothing left but dust.

It will sterilize the Earth.

This is all theater.

They're saying we lost launch capability.

- What? How?

- What does that mean?

- The missile's disabled.

- Disabled by what?

- They don't know.

- YUSEF:
But they can restore it, right?

There's a fallback. They have to launch.

Object impact in seven, six...

"Our father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,

on Earth as it is in heaven...

- ... three, two, one...

- "... Give us this day... "

- Where is it?

- Could they have made a mistake?

Wait! Roger that.

They're saying

the object's still in its approach.

Well, then, where is it?

It's slowing down.

Awesome.

Slowing down?

I see it.

Radiation levels are slightly elevated,

but it's not dangerous.

I'm getting a lot of

electrostatic interference.

Yeah, me too.

Did you feel that?

Feel what?

I feel it.

It's close.

Checkmate 0-6,

who has tactical command here?

This is 2917. I need to know

who has jurisdiction on this site.

Checkmate 0-3,

this is Gator 2-3. We're blind here.
