OBSERVATORY - DAY Doctor LARRY MOSLEY is standing at a refreshment table at the far wall pouring himself a cup of coffee. SUPER: CALIFORNIA Three BEEPS come from a computer behind him. Larry drops the cup to the floor and runs over to the monitor. Larry picks up the phone. LARRY Come in here fast. You won’t believe this. Larry hangs the phone up. He continues to stare at the monitor. A SCIENTIST walks up and looks over Larry’s shoulder. The BEEPS increase in frequency. There are readings on the monitor. SCIENTIST What is it? LARRY Contact. All these years we've been sending signals up and finally we were responded to. INT. APARTMENT BEDROOM - DAY ROCK MUSIC is being played from another room. SUPER: ARIZONA KEITH KOGANE, 28, sits up in the bed. He smiles, shakes his head and gets up. Keith goes into the bathroom. 2. KITCHEN Keith walks in. The music is turned off but the television is on in the living-room. Keith opens the refrigerator and looks inside. Keith speaks without turning around. KEITH Did you save me anything to eat? LIVING ROOM HUNK GARETT, 27, belches. HUNK I’m not that greedy. KITCHEN KEITH Who told you that? Keith pulls out a cartoon of milk and closes the refrigerator. He reaches into the cabinet and pulls down a box of cereal. Keith fixes a bowl of cereal and sits down at the kitchen bar. He begins eating. LIVING ROOM HUNK What’s the plan today commander? KITCHEN KEITH Nothing. The telephone RINGS. Keith answers it. LIVING ROOM Hunk turns around on the sofa and looks at Keith. 3. KITCHEN Keith hangs up the telephone. Keith stands up and sits the bowl into the sink. Keith begins walking towards the living room. KEITH Let's go Hunk, we have a training run. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS Hunk, standing six foot tall and weighing two hundred and twenty-seven pounds of solid muscle, stands up from the sofa. Keith and Hunk walk past a stand. There is a photograph of both of them standing next to F-16 fighter jets. EXT. APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS Hunk gets into the driver’s side of a jeep. Keith gets in on the passenger side. The jeep pulls out of the parking lot and gets on the road. INT. JEEP HUNK Wasn't expecting to go up today. KEITH Me either but those are the orders from up top. He didn't give me any other details. Captain will tell us when we get there. EXT. AIR FORCE BASE - CONTINUOUS SUPER: LUKE AIR FORCE BASE The jeep pulls up and parks. Keith and Hunk gets out and begin walking towards the building. Hunk shakes hands and gives dap to everyone he passes along the way to the office. 4. Keith is holding the door open and staring at Hunk as Hunk approaches the entrance. HUNK You know I can't leave my comrades hanging. Keith nods his head as the two go inside. INT. CAPTAIN’S OFFICE The CAPTAIN’S office door is open when Keith and Hunk arrives. Keith knocks on the door. The captain looks up. CAPTAIN My two favorite fly boys. Keith, Hunk. Keith and Hunk stand there staring. The captain smiles and then nods at the door as his smile widen. Keith and Hunk turn around to see LANCE BELL, 27, walk through the door. CAPTAIN (CONT’D) Perfect, he's right on time. Keith, Hunk you know Lance Bell. He will be added to your squadron but today I want to see you three in the air. Suit up gentlemen. KEITH, HUNK, LANCE (simultaneously) Yes sir. EXT. TARMAC Keith, Hunk and Lance are walking toward the fighter jets in their flight gear. KEITH We're going to keep this short. Anybody have any problems with that? 5. LANCE What is short Commander? KEITH Twenty minutes and we're touching down. Lance laughs as the three part towards their fighter jets. Keith arrives to his jet and climbs up. The hatch closes above Keith. INT. JET COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS Keith settles in and turns on the engine. EXT. TARMAC The F-16 begins taxing down the airstrip. Two other F-16s take off behind it. INT. JET COCKPIT KEITH We'll begin in Alpha, do a few more flybys and we're going down. Keith turns to his right and sees Hunk. Lance’s F-16 is on Keith’s left. EXT. SKY All three F-16s zoom over the base in perfect Alpha formation. The three F-16s continue to fly out into the desert. INT. JET COCKPIT HUNK (V.O.) What's next Keith? LANCE (V.O.) I have something. Lance spins his F-16 out of formation. 6. Keith looks left to see Lance fly off. KEITH Lance? HUNK (V.O.) I'll follow him. Hunk's jet drops from Keith's right. EXT. SKY Keith flips his F-16 backwards and begins following the other two. Lance takes them on a winding trek through the desert. He slows down enough a few times to allow Keith and Hunk to catch up. Lance then barrel rolls around them and takes off. Lance lowers his altitude flying feet away from off the ground. He narrowly passes a mountain. Lance flies back to the base with Hunk and Keith flanking him. EXT. TARMAC Keith runs toward Lance but Hunk blocks him before he could reach him. KEITH What the fuck were you doing? LANCE Having a little fun Commander. Lance smiles. LANCE (CONT’D) I wanted to make sure that if I have to follow someone, he'll be able to fly me out of any situation. Keith stares at Lance. He exhales. LANCE (CONT’D) Don't worry Commander, you did well. 7. Lance punches Keith in the arm and laughs. Hunk punches Keith as well. He then wraps his arm around Keith's shoulders. HUNK He's right, you did. Hunk begins laughing. Keith laughs too. INT. PIDGE’S APARTMENT - DAY SUPER: AUSTRALIA DARRELL “PIDGE” STOKER, 19, Australian and standing five-feet- four inches tall, walks into the living room and grabs a set of car keys from off of a table. Pidge walks towards the front door where he passes a wall with framed certificates and photographs. Inside one of the frames is a certificate from the Royal Australian Air Force. Inscribed across the middle is: “Darrell Stoker.” Pidge walks out of the apartment. EXT. HIGHWAY Pidge drives through the city of Sydney in New South Wales. Right on the outskirts of town, a government facility comes into view. EXT. MILITARY FACILITY The solider at the gate recognizes and opens the gate to allow Pidge’s vehicle to pass without stopping him. INT. LABORATORY Pidge walks in. There are a number of scientists sitting in front of a computer. SCIENTIST #2 turns around and sees Pidge. SCIENTIST #2 General. 8. Pidge nods his head at scientist #2. SCIENTIST #2 (CONT’D) General, we intercepted this signal yesterday. When it began, the signal was weak, faint but now it's increasing in frequency. Look. Pidge bends down closer to the monitor. He adjusts his glasses. PIDGE This isn’t of earthy origin. SCIENTIST #2 Are you sure? Could it be American? PIDGE I've studied every language known to man from written to binary and this doesn't fit any of them. This is alien but I don't know what it means. EXT. SPACE The Hubble satellite disappears underneath a deepening shadow. The shadow stops after half of Earth is in darkness. The shadow begins to break apart. INT. PENTAGON - DAY The SECRETARY OF DEFENSE walks into his office when the telephone RINGS. SUPER: WASHINGTON, D.C. The Secretary of Defense picks up the telephone. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Secretary of Defense. 9. INT. LABORATORY LARRY Mister Secretary, this is Doctor Larry Mosley from the observatory in California. I may have some information of grave importance to you and your staff. INT. PENTAGON SECRETARY OF DEFENSE And this is what doctor? INT. LABORATORY LARRY We may be on the verge of being invaded sir. Larry looks down at his free hand. His hand is shaking. LARRY (CONT’D) Sir? INT. PENTAGON SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Doctor Mosley I've just finished a tiring trip over in the Middle East. I need rest. We fund your program because we believe in your research. We've covered up a lot over the years and we'll continue to do so. So before we hit any panic buttons, do you have any evidence? INT. LABORATORY LARRY Yes Mister Secretary sir we intercepted their communications but… SCIENTIST Larry, you need to see this. Larry lays the phone lightly on the desk and goes over to the telescope that his assistant was observing. 10. Larry looks through it, loses his breath, regains it and goes back over to the telephone. LARRY Look up. INT. PENTAGON The Secretary of Defense turns around and looks up through the window. The Secretary of Defense drops the telephone. INT. LABORATORY - DAY SCIENTIST #2 What does it mean General? Pidge sits in front of the computer and begins typing quickly. Pidge writes notes down in a steno pad before typing some more. He stops. PIDGE I managed to decipher the signal. I realize that within this alien language is a recognizable binary code that I was able to break. These are coordinates. It looks to me as if they are strategically placing pieces in certain locations for something.
