Jackson: Let’s not do this with JJ in the car

Alli: Well when are we going to do this

Jackson: Huh, I want our marriage to work

Alli: Why don’t you just come out and say it

Jackson: Ever since you took that new job you have been distant. You barely see JJ anymore and your never home.

(Alli turns away from him)

Alli: I love you guys, just because I want to have a life doesn’t mean I don’t care

(The car goes silent and both of them aren’t looking at each other)

Scene 3: Police stop them right before they go over a hill. Jackson stops the car and the officer walks up to the driver window.

Officer: Where are you guys headed?

Jackson: To Nebraska, I’m going to my mom’s for thanksgiving

Officer: Im sorry sir, but this area is closed due to pollution. It’s not safe, Im going to need you to turn around.

(Alli leans across Jackson to see the officer)

Alli: Sir, we have been driving for 5 hours and we are already late, can we just drive by with the windows rolled up?

Officer: Im sorry it’s too dangerous. You don’t want your boy to get sick do you?

Jackson: Thank you officer we’ll turn around

Alli: Im sorry Jackson, I know how much you wanted to go

Jackson: oh we are still going

(Jackson makes a U-turn back towards the officer)

Jackson: he said there was pollution, but he wasn’t even wearing a gas mask. I am not missing this dinner.

(Jackson drives past the officer fast, Alli covers he face from the officer embarrassed)

Alli: Jackson you’re going to go jail for trespassing

(They go over the hill and there are tons of factories on both sides of the road. The suspense music plays in the background. Everyone in the car is looking around.)

JJ: What is this place daddy?

Jackson: I don’t know JJ

(Jackson gets a thoughtful, inquisitive look on his face)

Alli: Jackson don’t just keep driving

Jackson: Honey don’t you want to know what this place is? The officer lied there is no pollution, but Im guessing he didn’t want us to see this.

Alli: Maybe he had a reason for lying

Jackson: I have to know what this place is.

Scientist 3: Nate

Jackson: Well Nate, do you have any kids or a wife?

Nate: I have a little girl

(As Jackson talks his voice gets louder and louder)

(Nate pulls out a button and presses it. The ground opens up and a pentagon shape building comes up)

Jackson: What how are we at the pentagon and why did it come out of the ground?

(Nate shakes his head)

Nate: We are not at the pentagon. Well not at the normal pentagon

Nate: This is base 29, but we just call it the anti-pentagon

(Both of them are silent and walking down the hall)

Scene 15: Chief’s Office

(Nate opens the door)

Nate: Im sorry chief for interrupting, but I have someone who wants to talk to you

Chief: Im busy leave

(Jackson comes into the room)

Jackson: Well I don’t have time to wait

(Jackson sits himself down)

Jackson: I was just at your facility base and these creatures took my family, and I need some answers!

Chief: Facility base?

Nate: Area 51 sir

Chief: Aww ok so what’s the problem

Jackson: Did you not just hear me!

Chief: If they were taken they are probably dead by now and the creatures couldn’t of taken them because they are locked down tight.

Nate: Im sorry sir to inform you but what he says is true. The creature have escaped and killed everyone but me and two other scientists.

(The chief’s face gets frozen)

(The chief lifts up a plaque on his desk and presses the red button underneath the world. A loud siren goes off and the chief stands up with a microphone in his hands)

Chief: This is a code red everyone needs to meet in the situation room immediately

(Everyone runs out the room)

Scene 16: Situation Room

Chief: This is an emergency everyone sit down

Person 1: Sir, why are we here

Chief: There has been an accident, where’s Burt

Person 2: I don’t know I haven’t seen him all day

Person 3: He said he was going to Area 51

Nate: He is probably dead if he was there

Person 1: What’s the issue chief

Chief: The creatures at Area 51 have escaped

Person 3: What do you mean escaped?

Nate: As in they killed everyone and took two people as hostages

Person 2: How did they even get out?

Jackson: When they were taking me to my execution (he looks at Nate) I tripped over a cord and pulled it out

Chief: No, no that couldn’t be it

Person 1: If the cord shut the power off then maybe

Nate: No the cord was just part of it. Once the cord is out then the system runs on a backup generator. Someone had to of pulled the lever turning off the generator.

Person 3: Which means we are working with someone on this inside

Chief: Luke, you run a background check on everyone that knew about Area 51

(Points to person 1)

Chief: And Todd (Pointing to person 2) find out where those creatures are headed

Nate: I think I can answer that, Sir

(Nate grabs the remote and turns up the t.v)

Broadcaster: I know you all must be wondering about the creatures. Im not sure what they are, but I advise you to stay inside. These things are destroying everything in their path. They started in Arizona and they are moving east very fast. They are multiplying by the minute and killing everyone. I fear this may be the end.

(Jackson cuts off the t.v.)

Chief: Get to work people

(Everyone stands up)

Jackson: Hold on, Hold on what about my family

Nate: Jackson you saw what they’re doing your family can’t still be alive.

Jackson: No they are alive and I will find them

Nate: Jackson!

Jackson: Nate you can help me or you can stay out of my way

Nate: Huh Ill help

(They both get up from their chairs

Jackson: Do you know where they might be headed

Nate: When we captured them we put their ship underground a building next to central park.

Jackson: What’s with you people and putting things underground. C’mon looks like we’re going to New York

Nate: If we are going after these creatures then we are going to need some weapons

(Nate looks at Jackson)

Scene17: Weapons Room

(Nate opens a door to a room full of weapons)

Jackson: Are you guys planning for WWIII

Nate: You never know when you have to save a country

(Jackson puts on a belt to carry weapons in, grabs two desert eagles and puts them into the holes of his belt, grabs the army knife and puts it into his boot, grabs a suit, grabs a shotgun into one hand, and grabs a mp into the other. )

Jackson: All right lets go

(Nate grabs an uzi)

Nate: Do you really need all those?

Jackson: Do I need to remind you what we are going up against?

Nate: Yep I need more guns

(Nate grabs a shotgun and runs to catch up with Jackson who is out the door)

Scene 18: Private Plane

Nate: So what’s our plan of attack?

Jackson: You tell me you know about this place

Nate: We put the ship underground so they will have to come through the main entrance. It is guarded by 12 guards.

Jackson: So we will see 12 dead guards

Nate: Yep

Jackson: I still don’t understand why they took my family

Nate: Well I don’t know if this mean anything

Jackson: What?!

Nate: When we captured them they were speaking in a different language, so the chief ordered me to memorize the language so I could speak to them

Jackson: What’s your point?

Nate: It was what they were saying. They said that it wasn’t time. They said they needed a female to transfer their queen into. I guess that’s how their queen will get here.

Jackson: So they are going to put their queen into my wife like some sort of transportation system.

Nate: Yes

Jackson: We need to get to New York fast

Scene 19: NY Building

Nate: It’s quieter than I expected

Jackson: just be glad

(Guard at front desk yells)

Guard: Hey what are you guys doing here?

Nate: Have you witnessed any suspicious activity

Guard: No like what

Jackson: Like a pack of bloodthirsty creatures

Guard: no

Nate: Do you mind if we look around

Guard: Go ahead

(Jackson and Nate walk pass the desk and turn a corner to a pile of dead guards)

Jackson and Nate: Oh!

(Nate turns around)

Nate: Hey guard…

(When he turns around the guard is gone, Jackson and Nate pull out their guns)

(The guard jumps in front of them)

Nate: Hey man what’s wrong with you

(The guard starts forming into a creature)

Jackson: Shoot him!

(Jackson and Nate start shooting it)

(Creatures starts coming down the staircase across the room)

Nate: Run!

(Nate and Jackson start running down the hall in the opposite way of the creatures)

(Jackson is running behind Nate and turns around to shoot a couple of bullets, Nate pulls Jackson back into a storage closet)

Nate: That was close

Jackson: Too close

Nate: Come on

(Nate opens the door and there is a dead creature next to the door)

Jackson: Is it dead

(Nate pokes it with his gun and the creature moves)

Jackson and Nate: Oh

(Both of them jump back and shoot it a couple of times)

Jackson: It has to be dead

(Nate leans in to listen to its heart)

Nate: It has no heart beat

(The creature moves again)

Jackson: I thought u said it has no heartbeat!

Nate: It doesn’t

(Nate shoots its chest a couple of times and then pulls back its skin)

Nate: There’s no organs or anything

Jackson: So you’re saying it’s a robot

Nate: Sort of

Jackson: What do you mean sort

Nate: I mean they must run on some sort of generator

Jackson: So where’s the generator

Nate: On the ship most likely

Jackson: huh… most likely. I need to find my family; I don’t have time for most likely

Nate: Well we better get going

(Nate starts walking and Jackson follows)

Scene 20: In front of the door to the area where the ship is

Nate: I don’t get it

Jackson: What

Nate: This is the entrance to where the ship is and we haven’t come across any creatures.

Jackson: Oh well

Nate: No that is too weird

(Nate opens the doors and the ship is gone)

Jackson: Nate please tell me this is a joke and the ship is somewhere else

Nate: No this is it, the ship should be right here

Jackson: Should be but it’s not. Nate you better think long and hard and figure out where that ship is

Nate: Ok give me a minute

Jackson: We don’t have a minute!

Nate: Ok, ok they couldn’t of left earth because we had at least 30 creatures chasing us.

Jackson: Where are they Nate

Nate: Wait we put a tracker on the ship so we wouldn’t lose it

(Nate runs over to the wall and pulls off a tracker)

Nate: Alright lets see where they are

Nate: Oh no

Jackson: What

Nate: They are at the anti-pentagon

Jackson: Why would they be at the anti-pentagon

Nate: I don’t know

Jackson: well you need to figure it out

Nate: If they took the ship why wouldn’t they go home

Jackson: You said they wanted to deliver their queen, well maybe they don’t want to go home. They want to make this their home and I bet they took my family with them.

Nate: Lets go

(Both of them run out of the room)

Scene 21: Anti-Pentagon Main Hallway

(Creatures running around breaking stuff, dead bodies on the floor, open wires all over)

(The chiefs on the floor against a wall with a stab wound from a creatures claw)

Burt: I’ve been a little busy, getting grocery, went for a walk, and oh yeah taking over the planet

Chief: What?

(Burt changes into a huge creature)

Chief: No, Burt why would you do this

Burt: I was never Burt, I killed him a while ago and took his body hahaha

( Burt punches the Chief’s face so hard the chiefs skull cracks open)

(Burt laughs and walks away)

(Jackson and Nate come through the door behind Burt, Burt quickly turns back to his human form.)

Burt: Nate!

Nate: Burt what happened to you

Burt: I tried to hold them off ,but they keep coming. The chief is hurt follow me

(Nate and Jackson follow Burt through two doors. Two creatures grab Jackson and Nate from behind)

Nate: Burt help us

(Jackson looks over and sees Alli on a table unconscious and JJ on a wall hung by rope)

Jackson: Nate?

(Jackson looks back over at Nate and Burt has turned into a huge creature)

Nate: No where’s the chief

Burt: Dead like you two are going to be in a couple of minutes, but first Jacksons going to watch his wife die a terrible death

Jackson: Don’t touch her!

Burt: I won’t have to the queen will.

Jackson: What?

Burt: Your wife is very important, she is going to deliver our queen to earth for me

Jackson: Why us?!

Burt: you don’t know

Jackson: Know what

Burt: You’re a Slater, defender of the galaxy

(Burt points over to JJ)

Burt: And your boy is the son of legend. Legend says when he turns 18 he will fight off the creatures to make us extinct, but hey it’s just a legend because I am going to kill him. You hold the power to wipe out an entire race and I can’t let that happen.

(Burt looks over to another creature)

Burt: Thomas get the chamber I have a queen to deliver.

Thomas: Sir, I can’t deliver the queen. There seems to already be a female fetus inside.

Jackson: Nate I have to save my wife

Nate: We may have a problem

Jackson: What now

Nate: When we were in New York I called air force and ordered them to bomb the anti-pentagon.

Jackson: 1…2…3

(Jackson and Nate kick the creatures, run over and pick up guns

(Nate runs over and grabs JJ and Jackson continuously shoots Burt while grabbing Alli)

Scene 22: Desert

(Jackson leaning over Alli and she is unconscious)

Jackson: Alli! Come on stay with me I need you!

(Nate comes up behind Jackson and puts down JJ)

Nate: Jackson take my life for your wife’s

Jackson: What are you talking about?

Nate: If Burt was right and you are a Slater you can take a life and give it to someone else. My grandfather always believed in Slaters, but I thought he was crazy. I know now that this is my destiny.

Jackson: I can’t do it

Nate: Put your hand on her heart and your other hand on mine. You will know what to say, trust me.

(Jackson puts his hands on their hearts)
