Security clearance, level four.
Stand clear of the doors.
Security doors activated.
Factor four increasing.
Auto vacuum disengaged.
Dr. Betruger.
Ah. Thank you. All right.
Auto set camera engaged.
Have they explained how it's going to work?
Are you nervous?
Don't worry, it's perfectly natural to be.
No, I'm honored to have been chosen, sir.
Wonderful. Well, I'm very much looking forward to meeting you face to face, young man.
Freehold parameters increased.
Slot interrupt.
Engaged.
Phobos is set.
Nevada is set.
Activate the gates.
Gates activated.
Now, Dr. Barnes.
Nevada, Dr. Barnes has made it to Phobos.
Doctor, we did it. Yes.
We did it.
Red seal warning. Red seal warning.
Energy source unknown.
Unknown thermal heat pad.
I want you to have this.
Something to remember me by.
Have faith that in your darkest moment you won't be alone.
I'll be there, watching over you, my beautiful girl.
Believe in yourself, Joan.
Welcome back, Lieutenant Dark.
My name is Daisy, and I'm here to assist you in any way possible.
While you reacclimate, you may want to have a seat.
It may take a moment for your eyes to adjust to the light.
While you have been given fluids, I strongly recommend drinking 200 ounces of water in the next six to eight hours.
Are we almost there yet?
Yes, we'll arrive at Phobos in approximately three hours.
Good morning, happy campers.
No, I am not another AI greeting you.
No, I wouldn't dream of taking Daisy's job from her.
Nope, I am your pilot, welcoming you back to consciousness.
Oh, and before you ask, I totally went through all your stuff during the four-month slumber.
Well, some of you might feel queasy after your crypto-sleep, so...
Hey, don't worry. That's perfectly natural.
Shower engaged.
Oh! Before I forget, we've been having some plumbing issues over the past few weeks.
It's been acting real spotty, so, uh, I'd suggest you wait until we get to your final destination before actually having a shower.
Malfunction. Malfunction. Malfunction.
You've gotta be kidding me.
f*ckers, die. Where the f*ck did you go?
Tarek, I'm telling you, that's why he said it.
To throw us off.
It was a joke, Li.
That's what he wants us to think!
Hey, you honestly believe he went through our stuff?
Guy's a perv. Like you, Harry. So, yes, I do.
Oh, sh*t!
Carley, that deep sleep learning program, does that sh*t really work?
You know, I had to actually learn my foreign languages.
Yeah, eight dead languages no one's ever heard of.
There's no chance you just forgot them?
No. I never go anywhere without them.
They're my lucky pair.
You got a lucky pair of undies?
What makes them lucky?
Oh, Winslow, wouldn't you love to find out?
He better not have touched any of my sh*t.
Akua, you think the same guy that stole Li's underwear would take something of yours?
And I'm saying, he better not have.
By the way, guys, who's gonna tell Carley that the cryo-sleep turned her hair blue?
Oh, sh*t.
What you gonna do?
Morning.
Is this sh*t edible?
You know, I think it's time for that briefing.
Yep. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Hey, Li, where do you keep those undies?
Come on, move your ass.
Seems like a good group.
They can be.
You look good, Joan. Thanks.
You're a lieutenant now. That's, that's impressive.
Thanks.
And you went into science.
I've always been in science.
Right.
Sorry, I forgot.
What, we dated for what?
Six weeks, ten years ago?
It was more like four months.
Oh.
Have you been to Phobos before?
No, no, my first time off Earth, actually.
This is sort of a promotion for me.
How about you?
Something like that.
Well, in the scientific community, being assigned to Phobos is like winning the lottery.
It's the very best draw you can get.
Funny, Phobos is considered the very worst draw a UAC Marine can get.
During Dr. Barnes' follow up exam, we discovered antidepressants in his system.
No doubt this contributed to his current condition.
Regarding the procedure, there were some unexpected power surges, a few blackouts on the upper levels, some damage.
We'll install additional backup power supplies to reinforce the gate for the next test.
I recommend you do the same.
Of course, Doctor, but UAC Board won't approve proceeding until this incident has been investigated thoroughly.
You let me worry about the board.
Excuse me?
I have great latitude with the information I choose to share with them.
I believe that this incident unfairly judges the result.
Despite it all, we teleported a human from Earth to Phobos.
Who is displaying signs of extreme mental disorder less than a sol later.
That was because of the dr*gs.
And the physical changes?
We always knew there were going to be some cell reconfiguration issues.
We deconstructed a human and reassembled them.
I'm not gonna stop just because the subject's fingernails grew.
We'll make corrections.
Dr. Betruger, what if the trip wasn't as instantaneous as it first appeared?
We are violating the laws of physics.
I'm fully aware of what we're doing.
Ahmed, we're running out of time.
If we don't show progress, they'll shut us down.
There's too much at stake.
I'm not going to allow bureaucrats that don't understand the science that keeps them alive today determine the science that will keep them alive tomorrow.
I could not, in good conscience, select another to go through the gates.
You won't have to. I'll go myself.
Phobos runs on Martian time.
A Martian day is called a sol.
A sol is 24 hours and 39 minutes long.
Phobos is the innermost and larger of the two Martian moons, and the research facility is located a click north of the Stickney crater.
Yes, sir. Is all this information gonna be on the test?
Shut up, Rance.
Oh, it's fine, Doc. Join us.
You all know Dr. Bennett Stone?
If not, now you do.
He's hitching a ride with us.
Now, the facility is built into the moon, and is divided into three levels.
Main level includes the cargo bay, various offices, living quarters, administrative offices and amenities.
Level two, service and maintenance.
It's also where they store the computer servers.
And finally, level three contains the laboratories and reactor.
What kind of a reactor?
Fusion reactor.
Nuclear?
Yeah, but it's safe.
Because nothing bad ever happened with nuclear power.
Well, the moon poses more risk than the reactor.
What do you mean?
Well, Phobos is one of the most unstable environments in the solar system.
That's why they call it "the Doomed Moon."
Cool.
Thank you, Dr. Stone, for properly scaring the sh*t out of us all.
Okay, moving on to base personnel.
There are currently 90 in total.
Mostly scientists, but also there's maintenance, custodial and kitchen staff.
There's even a chaplain, if you're feeling the need to repent.
Our primary responsibility...
I knew he'd get there eventually.
...is providing base security.
Babysitting.
So, what's the danger?
Pardon me, Tarek?
Well, we're security. So what's to secure?
Well, UAC's intellectual property being developed here is worth billions on the black market.
There've been numerous reported instances of smuggling...
Why did we all get sent here?
There's only one of us that f*cked up.
But, what, we all get f*cked?
I'm right here. If you're gonna talk about me, have the balls to address me directly.
You f*cked up, Lieutenant.
And now we're all stuck here on a three-year tour to the f*cking Doomed Moon!
All right, knock it off!
Now, we succeed and fail as a unit.
And if you think I can't find a worse place in the solar system to park your ass for a few years, try me.
Do I make myself clear?
Yes, sir.
Okay, you have a little over an hour before we land.
Take that time to pack your personals, ready for departure.
Dismissed.
Come on, move your ass.
We'll get to the Martians and, uh, get a few beers into us, I reckon.
I guess four months of hibernation didn't help ease tensions.
Did you expect it would?
Captain, I begged the review board to punish only me.
I can't believe they didn't take the advice from the person they were disciplining for insubordination.
Hey,
in order to fight the enemy, you gotta stop fighting yourself, Joan.
Go on.
Are you new?
Yes, Doctor. I'm Veronica.
Hey, I'm the one that should be nervous, not you.
You're doing fine.
Veronica Cyr.
Lovely last name.
Right, you're all set.
Thank you, Veronica.
Thank you.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've a trip to make.
Dr. Peterson.
Yes, Doctor. Dr. Kahn.
I'm ready to go.
Copy that, Doctor.
Everyone take your positions, please.
Right away, Doctor. Yes.
The thing about crypto-sleep is you don't dream.
Like, you just closed your eyes for a moment.
So it feels like I just left you, and that feeling sucks.
I should never have got on this ship.
You were right, I should've given notice.
So it's what I'm gonna do after we land.
I'm gonna get the unit set up and then I'm gonna resign.
They'll be pissed, but time for this old marine to retire.
I love you and Bernadette.
I wanna be with you, I wanna come home.
I'm going to come home.
Engaged.
Warning. Power failure.
Backup systems engaging.
Is everyone okay?
Where's Dr. Betruger?
Oh, my God.
Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, okay?
Oh, f*ck.
Welcome to Phobos.
Let's go.
First round of drinks on me, guys.
Akua, you're buying? That'll be a first.
It's good to see you, Joan.
Yeah, you too, Bennett. See you around.
Yeah. See you around.
Hello, Phobos Tower, this is Nola requesting entry, over.
Hello, Phobos Tower, this is Nola at the door requesting entry, over.
Daisy, can you try?
Certainly. One moment.
What's the problem?
Well, we're knocking on the front door, but nobody's home.
So I'm sending Daisy around back.
And if they don't answer?
Well, then it's your f*cking problem.
I'm afraid I am unable to establish communication with Phobos Tower.
Incoming priority message. Code one.
Nola, this is UAC Martian Command.
Uh, we have an urgent developing situation.
Please hold your position.
We got a problem. Come with me. You too, Dr. Stone.
What's going on?
Phobos is not responding. Their system's offline, so there's no AI or human to let us inside.
They're trying a remote override now.
Well, if their system's offline, they won't be able to, but there's another way in. How?
There's an emergency entrance built into the landing pad.
You got a camera underneath?
Yep.
There you go.
There.
I thought you've never been here before.
I haven't. Just, when I found out I was being transferred, I read everything there is to know about the base.
Including where the emergency entrance is in case you ever got locked out on the surface?
I like to read.
Captain Savage, this is Martian Command.
That's a negative on establishing a remote access.
Copy that. Uh, we found another way in.
How should we proceed?
Copy that. Stand by for mission briefing.
"Mission briefing." That was quick.
Is that good? No.
Approximately 20 minutes ago, the Phobos Research Facility went offline and dark.
Our mission is to enter the facility, ascertain the situation, get the base back online.
But why is it important to get the base online?
Some of the experiments are extremely high risk and require very precise monitoring.
Even the smallest change can render years of work and progress meaningless.
Command received a distress signal moments before the base went offline.
Daisy, play it. - Playing audio.
What the f*ck is that?
Enough to suggest it's more than just a blown fuse.
Any more questions?
No. No, sir.
We roll in 10 minutes. Okay.
Yes, Captain. All right.
Copy that. No beers then.
If we're not able to get the base back online...
Hey, hey, don't worry. We'll be ready to jump off this rock faster than Daisy can do the square root of three million.
The square root of three million is
1,732.05080757.
You guys know what this is, right?
Ugh. Not this again.
It's aliens. Aliens.
Hey, Winslow? Yes, mate.
In all recorded human history, there's never, ever been any evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Hey, just 'cause there hasn't been, doesn't mean there won't.
And they are gonna rue the day they f*ck with me, Doc.
I'm their ultra-nightmare.
Can't believe you're bringing that weak-ass sh*t.
You got your toy, I got mine.
Daisy, deploy the extension bridge.
Copy. Deploying extension bridge.
Whoa. Hey.
What the f*ck, Daisy?
All sys... Systems normal.
Stay alert and keep close.
Follow our instructions and you'll be fine.
Okay. Okay.
In other words, do what we say and don't get in our way.
Ready, locked. Pressurizing.
Okay, you're good to go in three, two, one.
Good luck, guys.
Opening airlock door.
Okay, we're clear.
Next. Okay.
O2 levels are good.
Gravity? Intact.
I thought the power was off.
Why do the other controls work?
Well, they're linked to the same power system as the emergency lights.
The doors should be accessible as well. Excuse me.
Structural integrity? Good.
Toxicity? We're clean.
Prepare to move inside.
Something's wrong?
Reserve power's at 2%.
That's bad?
That's an understatement.
You need to tell the captain.
Activate heads up display.
Clear.
We're entering the base now, Morgan.
Yeah, copy that.
Ah, this way.
It's like a tomb.
Okay, let's move out. Captain, hold up.
What is it?
The reserve power's at just over 2%.
That gives us about 90 minutes.
It's supposed to have 72 hours upon activation.
When was it activated?
About an hour ago.
Something extraordinary had to happen to drain the power like that.
Something extraordinary means something bad, right?
Getting the system back online will be meaningless unless we can restore the power What? How do you mean?
Well, the safeguards put in place to protect against a core meltdown will fail.
We'd lose the base, and almost certainly the moon.
Lose the f*cking moon?
Who the f*ck designed this place?
So, what are our options?
Well, we need to find the reactor and see if power can be reestablished.
If it can, then we've got plenty of time to get the system back online.
If not, we need to evacuate.
You know how to fix it?
I don't know.
But I'll know if it can be fixed.
Rance, Carley, Akua, you'll go with Doc and me to the reactor.
Joan, take Tarek, Winslow, Li and Harry.
Find the server, be standing by when we signal.
Sir. Hold up, Captain. I don't think I should have to go with...
Hey! I swear, Winslow, if you're about to say what I think you're gonna say, I'm gonna sh**t you in the face.
Now, Lieutenant Dark is point, and we will all respect the chain of command.
Keep in constant communication, relay anything you see.
Let's move out.
Clear. Clear.
Bravo Team, Oscar Mike.
Breaking off to find the server.
We're clear.
Go.
Clear.
Clear.
Which way we going, Harry?
Servers are straight ahead, Lieutenant.
Yeah, you're all clear.
Oh, great.
Thought this was a high-tech base?
Even high-tech needs basic plumbing.
Harry, where are we going? Uh...
The servers are this way.
Where the f*ck is everybody?
Got it? Okay.
Hold up!
f*ck.
Captain. Captain!
Hold up.
Go, Joan. Found a body, he's one of ours.
Sergeant William Blazkovicz.
He's been decapitated.
What the f*ck?
What the f*ck are you guys baking in these labs, Doc?
I don't know.
Lieutenant. What is it?
These aren't just stains. I think it's Sumerian.
What's that?
It's a language from ancient Mesopotamia that's been effectively extinct since 2,000 B.C.
Do you know what it says?
While I'm good, I'm not that good.
Daisy? - Yes, Lieutenant Dark?
How... How can I help you?
Can you identify and translate?
Language pattern detected.
87% share characteristics with Sumerian.
Translating.
"Have come to reclaim what is ours.
"Through wrath will come justice.
"Through pain, divinity. No escape this time."
The rest of the data is corrupted or incomplete and cannot be translated.
This is cult sh*t! This is f*cking mad scientist cult sh*t!
Winslow, shut up!
What are you thinking, sir?
I'm thinking about Sergeant Blazkovicz's family.
Okay, move out.
Clear.
Move out.
f*ck!
Hold up.
What is it?
We're going the wrong way.
You said it was this way.
Our navigation system must be broken, sir.
Okay, we're no longer in the crypto-sleep.
Can we all please wake the f*ck up?
Sir.
So, which way is it? It's back that way.
You hope.
This doesn't make any sense.
I'm telling you, it's supposed to be right here.
You ever get sick of being wrong, Harry?
You're one to talk. Have you ever been right, Winslow?
Enough!
Daisy, can you re-ping the server, please?
Daisy?
Okay, we've got to be close.
Let's keep looking.
Move out!
Secure the perimeter.
You sure this is the right way, Rance?
Yes, Captain. Straight through the garden, dead ahead.
What the f*ck, Harry?
We're not supposed to break ranks.
I thought I saw something.
Damn it, Li.
Lieutenant, I found someone.
Copy. I'm coming.
Psst.
This is the UAC Marines Special Ops. Identify yourself.
I'm UAC Marines. Put your hands behind your head now!
Show me your hands!
Oh, my God.
What the...
What the f*ck is that?
Last warning.
On my go.
Three, two, one.
Don't sh**t! Don't sh**t. Don't sh**t! Don't sh**t.
I told you it's them.
I knew it! I knew they would send someone!
Jesus Christ! I knew it!
We're safe now. You're gonna be just fine.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Tarek!
Holy sh*t!
f*ck. f*ck.
Tarek, what's going on?
Winslow. Winslow. Winslow, come back.
Come back.
sh*t. sh*t. Joan.
Tarek, answer me.
He can't, Captain. He's gone.
How? I don't know.
Something att*cked him.
What "something"?
We took out one, too.
One what? What is it?
Let me check.
Are you f*cking crazy? Don't touch him. f*ck, Joan.
Dr. John Carmack. Geneticist. What?
- He was a scientist here. That's a "he"?
Like, a f*cking human?
f*ck.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
We have a situation.
What the f*ck is that?
Captain. Go, Joan.
Captain!
Joan, you there? Please repeat.
Captain. Lieutenant. f*cking anybody.
Ah, it's useless. No one's receiving. Keep trying.
We need to get out of here!
No, we don't. We need to find the others.
Let's go.
All right.
Docs, take cover. Marines, spread out.
Come on. Come on.
Stay with me.
Okay, come on. Get down. Stay down.
What do we do? What do we do?
Okay. We're gonna stay quiet till these guys get it all sorted.
It'll be fine.
Come on, you dog, die!
Take it. Take it!
Out!
Me, too!
Get down!
f*ck!
f*ck this, I'm too young to die!
Winslow!
Come back!
Winslow!
Get back here!
I'm your ultra-nightmare, m*therf*ckers!
Li, clear!
f*ck off!
f*ck off me!
f*ck!
Go. Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
I got you. Come on.
Come on!
Rance!
Thanks.
Get up!
Are you cut? I'm fine.
Are they gone? Don't know.
Rance, fall back. Get everyone the f*ck out of here!
Let's go. Get up!
Go with her, go with her! Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on. Come on!
Whoa! Serious, I'm not playing anymore!
f*ck.
Get down!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yeah!
Nice sh**ting.
Yep. No, I, uh...
I deserved that.
Let's go.
Cap? Tarek? Anybody read me?
Come here, come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on. Left.
Come on.
No!
Come on.
Status?
We found these two when we were att*cked.
You all right? I am.
We lost Akua.
We lost Tarek. Harry and Li are missing.
Where's the captain?
He's right behind...
Oh, f*ck.
f*ck!
f*ck you. Captain!
Captain! No! No!
No! Captain! No! No! No!
What the f*ck is going on? No bullshit!
I don't know! I swear.
There's something you are not telling us.
They found evidence of alien life.
I f*cking knew it!
What kind of evidence?
The kind you wouldn't understand.
And that's not to insult your intelligence, young lady.
It took me 30 years, and clearly, I still have much to learn.
Dr. Betruger!
You're alive! Thank God! You're here.
It's all right.
Daisy, will you please try again?
Happily. Happily.
Oh, babe, we've gotta get you serviced soon.
Still... Still unable to establish contact with UAC Special Op Marines or Martian Command.
Well, I can't just sit here, Daisy. I...
Okay. All right, we'll take it up to orbit, see if we get a better line on Mars.
f*ck! We should have done this earlier, but...
Daisy, prepare to launch.
I'm sorry, Morgan, but I can't let you leave.
What do you mean, you can't let me leave?
Daisy, this is not the time to start acting naughty.
No one's allowed to leave.
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Daisy?
Turn this console back on and prepare to launch.
Daisy!
My name's not Daisy.
We were in the midst of an experiment when everything went dark.
I must've had a blackout.
What was the nature of your experiment, Doctor?
I'm not at liberty to reveal that information.
One of our direct orders is to find out what happened.
Four of my squad, along with dozens of people who were working under you, d*ed as a result of whatever it was you were doing.
So, Dr. Betruger, you will reveal whatever I damn well ask you to reveal.
The past three decades, the prime focus of the UAC has been to locate a planet outside of our solar system to colonize.
If the human race wants to live on, it has to find a new home.
And while we found several possible candidates, getting to them hasn't been feasible.
Now, this man was telling the truth.
The evidence was several large stone-like slabs with an inscription carved into them.
What kind of inscription?
It was a version of Sumerian, but with subtle, yet distinct, differences.
We call them gates.
So what are they?
They make it possible to travel from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.
Teleporters. The aliens left teleporters?
We've found two sets so far.
One here and one on Earth.
We didn't want to disturb their environment, so we just built the bases around them.
And while these are the only ones we've found, our theory is that there are others all across the universe.
Based on what?
The gates are approximately seven-and-a-half thousand years old, and they're made from a chemical compound that we've yet to identify.
So if they're not from here...
They must come from somewhere else.
Precisely.
Now, we've spent decades just trying to figure outwhat we have, and the amazing thing is, is that the gates predate the pyramids, and yet they won't work unless they're hooked up to technology which we've only just created.
So it's as if they knew where we'd be in our evolution when we found them.
Who are "they", Doctor?
Now there's the billion-dollar question.
So, what happened today?
You turned on these gates and then...
Like I said, I don't remember.
Well, it doesn't take a f*cking genius to figure it out.
You turned them on, and those things from who knows where came flying in.
No, those things that att*cked us were once humans.
They worked here. They were in their clothes.
I saw their ID badges, but clearly something came through and did this to them, changed them.
Yeah, I saw what came through.
Monsters.
I saw them, too.
And to make it clear, they were demons.
Demons?
Made of fire.
One of them took me.
Tried to possess me, tried to turn me into one of those things.
No, those slabs ain't for travel.
They opened up a portal to Hell for those things to come through.
Don't be ridiculous. This was just a setback.
Did you just call what happened today a setback?
My business is saving humanity.
A handful of lives lost is tragic, but, yes, a setback.
Battling demons isn't in my job description.
We need to get the f*ck out of here.
Winslow, for the first time, you and I are in absolute agreement.
We're heading back to the ship.
Lieutenant, I'm afraid that's not going to happen.
Excuse me? We need to restore power to the base.
No, we don't.
I will not lose this base.
This is not your decision.
No, these gates are the greatest discovery in the history of mankind and they will not be sacrificed!
I will not allow it!
This is a m*llitary operation.
What you will or will not allow is irrelevant.
We are five Marines and four civilians versus an unknown number of an enemy we cannot even begin to comprehend.
Move out.
There's gonna be hell to pay for this decision, Lieutenant.
There always is, Doc. There always is.
Come on.
Clear.
Yeah, we're clear.
Hold up.
I'm fine. Wait!
Are you religious, miss? What?
I was, once.
Then, what happened?
My mom d*ed when I was a little girl.
Cancer. I didn't see the point in praying much after that.
I'm sorry.
She was the religious one.
She'd have bought everything you're selling.
Faith costs nothing, miss.
Lieutenant, you all right down there? Yeah.
We should go.
Yeah, go. Go.
Clear. We're good. Yeah.
Yep, go. Yes. All right.
Get the door. Yeah.
Yeah. Come in. Clear, bud.
Clear.
Let's go. Take it easy, take it easy.
Hey, you good?
Yeah. Any chance I can get something to drink?
Of course, we got a full mess upstairs.
Okay. Yeah. Okay, go ahead.
Still pressurized, you're good to go.
Morgan, can you open the door?
Morgan, do you copy?
Daisy, what about you?
My pleasure. I'm unlocking airlock door. Standby.
Clear.
Winslow, Rance, Carley, hang back, keep watch.
Welcome back, Lieutenant Dark.
Is everything okay?
What are you looking for? Maybe I can be of assistance.
Clear.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Veronica, can you please show Dr. Betruger to a stateroom below?
And once he's set, take a look at the chaplain's injuries.
Yeah, of course. Which way's the staterooms?
Straight back, down the stairs.
Okay, come on. Okay.
Clear.
My God, I knew they were doing some groundbreaking things here, but teleportation?
That's incredible.
Yeah, well your lovely doctor's a bit of an egomaniac, isn't he?
He kind of has a right to be. Why?
As well as working on a way for human beings to travel millions of light years in mere seconds, he may have discovered things that have baffled scientists for centuries.
Like what, Doc?
Well, one of mankind's earliest forms of language was Sumerian.
What if they were the ones who brought the language to us?
And with their advanced technology, what if they're responsible for other mysteries, too?
Like how the pyramids were built?
These things k*lled several of my friends and tried to tear us apart.
You'll forgive me if I don't rejoice in their discovery.
Daisy, where's Morgan?
Morgan is on the flight deck.
Here you go. This way.
I was a sergeant, too.
You, uh... You were a Marine?
A lifetime ago.
Why the career change?
I thought I'd try and save souls instead of take them.
That's not to say I don't respect the uniform, young man. I...
I do.
But it just began to wear on me to the point where I could no longer breathe.
Let's, uh... Let's get you that water.
Oh, sh*t.
Daisy, what happened here?
Inevitably, what will happen to you as well.
There you go.
Daisy, alert the crew and...
What the f*ck was that?
f*ck! No!
Get out of the way!
Nope!
assh*le!
f*ck.
Wait, no, no, don't sh**t!
Did you see anything go past here?
I was just on my way up to check on the chaplain, and...
Oh, my God! Okay.
Veronica. Veronica! Veronica!
Wait, wait, wait. Look at me, look at me.
Go back downstairs and stay there.
Don't open the door until I come for you.
Okay? Okay.
No! Take this. It's okay, it's okay.
I can't. You got this. Okay?
Okay? Go.
Trouble?
Winslow!
Hello? Winslow!
Where the f*ck are you? You coward!
Come on! Oh, sh**t.
No!
Hey. Chaplain, I'm here.
Stay with me.
He didn't take her, Joan.
She's still with you.
I can see her spirit all around.
It's beautiful.
No.
Winslow.
Winslow.
Let's get this fucker!
Die, m*therf*cker!
Dr. Betruger, you said you couldn't remember.
No. That's right.
I didn't want to say in front of the others, but...
I saw you walk into the gate.
You completely disappeared, you went through.
You're sure?
Hey.
Oh, good, you're not dead.
Come on.
I'm afraid this ship isn't going anywhere.
Well, that's just f*cking great, Doc.
So, the ship won't fly, and we can't send out a distress signal.
We're stuck here.
There is another way.
No.
Well, the gates work.
We just need the reactor to power them up, and then we can literally walk from here to Earth in less than a second.
Thanks, but no thanks, Doctor.
Do you have a better plan, Lieutenant?
We wait. Mars knows we're here.
When we don't report back, they'll send a rescue party.
We'll secure the ship, anything tries to get in, we take out.
Yeah.
Except... Except what, Doc?
Except the reserve power is below 1%.
We got 30 minutes, tops.
A rescue party will never reach us in time.
What do I need to know about these gates, Doctor?
Joan! You're not seriously considering this.
In case you've forgotten, this whole base is infested with those things that can now f*cking fire at us!
We're Marines, we fire, too.
Those new things we just fought ain't former humans like the ones before.
They're something else.
And if we turn these gates on, who the f*ck knows what else could come out next?
What, and if we don't, we all die when the base melts down.
If we wait, we die.
If we do nothing, we die.
If we're gonna die, I would rather go down fighting.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good. Well, once the power's restored, it will only take a few minutes to go through its procedures, and it will meet all the safety checks.
Time's wasting. Check your a*mo, reload and take extra.
Prepare to move out in five.
Hey. Even if I'm able to get that reactor started, under no circumstances should we attempt to go through those gates.
Forget about what's the other side.
The last time they were used, they almost destroyed the entire base.
Another trip through's gonna almost certainly do it.
I know. But you told Dr. Betruger...
Exactly what he needed to hear.
I might not be a scientist, but I'm not an idiot.
We get the power back on, we get the base back online, we contact Command to send help.
I just didn't want him being a pain in the ass the rest of the time.
Clear.
Clear.
Clear.
Move out.
Clear. Yeah, we're clear.
Clear.
You know how to work this?
I'm gonna have my personal drive access the reactor...
I didn't ask for your life story. Okay.
We're in.
You're Lieutenant Joan Dark.
In the mayhem of the moment, I completely forgot who you were.
You're the one that set Rudolph Martin free.
He's one of the most dangerous t*rrorists in the world.
That's not exactly how it happened.
Of course not.
I'm sure you've got your side of the story.
See, I'm briefed on all matters that pertain to this base, so I only read the official conclusion of the review board.
Although it did strike me as odd that a unit as accomplished as yours should be assigned here.
As I recall, you disobeyed a direct order, so my base is your punishment.
Here we go.
Fixable?
Yeah. There's a circuit board that's fried.
I don't have a new one, but I'm gonna take out the dead board, override the system and trick it into thinking it's there.
Was it your ego, Lieutenant?
Or did you just know better?
Or did you make a mistake?
We all make mistakes. I certainly do.
Hey! That's enough, Doc.
Ah, Private Winslow.
In your testimony to the review board, you said Lieutenant Dark was incompetent, should be arrested and dishonorably discharged.
Private Corbin, you asked to be reassigned, citing that you could never trust Lieutenant Dark again.
Joan, I never said that.
And your Captain Savage, he asked if Lieutenant Dark was guilty of treason!
Treason!
Which carries the death penalty.
Here we go.
And, Miss Cyr, I remember everything.
And you won't be telling a soul.
Joan!
Doctor! Whoa, whoa. What happened?
What happened?
Doctor, open the door now.
Sorry, Lieutenant.
You have your orders.
I have mine.
Oh, sh*t.
Winslow!
f*cked, man.
Bennett, get down!
Sweet sh**ting.
No!
Carley!
Carley.
Oh.
That's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
I don't get it. Why would the doctor lock us in?
The power's on, we can call for help, he can get his experiments back online.
This doesn't make sense.
He doesn't want to open up the gates to escape.
He just wants to open the gates. Why?
You're the f*cking scientist, you tell me!
I don't know!
We need to find him.
He could be anywhere. This place is enormous.
f*ck.
There you go. Hey.
Level...
What'd she say? She said Level Four.
Well, there is no level four. This place only has three levels.
Hey, we don't understand. What about level four?
The lab.
Hey, hey.
f*ck.
Wait. I think I know what she means.
My supervisor told me that the main lab's only accessible via an elevator and with a colored key card.
Are you sure?
Very.
Secret moon base has a secret passage to a secret level.
You gotta give it to the UAC.
They got f*cking paranoid covered.
That's where he is.
Let's go get this son of a bitch.
We're clear.
Something wrong?
Actually, for the first time today, no.
Blazkovicz's key.
Opening door.
That's the BFG-9000.
I've only ever read about it.
Never actually seen one.
Of course, no Marine calls it that.
What do they call it?
The Big f*cking g*n.
Of course.
It fires a green burst of plasma instead of b*ll*ts.
You mean, this is a ray g*n?
Like, a real live ray g*n?
Why aren't you all using this w*apon?
Something to do with the plasma cartridges used for a*mo, don't hold the charge for long.
Plasma grenades.
UAC's really holding out on us.
I'm gonna find us a key.
What are they gonna do, sue me?
Just remember my training, ten years ago, at the academy with you.
How's it work?
Supposed to work like a regular g*n.
Load it.
Set it.
Takes about ten seconds.
And...
Ready to pop.
I wouldn't want to be Dr. Betruger right now.
He was right.
I f*cked up.
I let that t*rror1st get away.
I ignored the order, thinking I knew best,
thinking I could be a hero.
We were stationed here because of my f*ck up, and now my whole team's dead.
Guess it's a good thing I don't believe in Hell, right?
Hey, look, you made a mistake, but none of what's happening here is any of your fault.
Joan, you've overcome so much in your life, you can overcome this.
The best way to honor your team's memory right now is to go and take this m*therf*cker out.
I've never heard you curse before.
It's too much. Just right.
Okay. After you.
What's funny?
Our first date?
That restaurant you took me to was on the roof of that hotel.
We had to take the stairs all the way because you were afraid of elevators.
You remembered.
Never forgot.
Anything.
I hate to break it to you, but I'm still scared of elevators.
Bennett! No!
Lieutenant Dark, your persistence is impressive.
I'm gonna need you to power down and step away from the controls.
No, I'm sorry.
I spent my entire life looking for the new world.
I finally found it.
Consider this your last warning, Doctor.
What did you say?
I wasn't talking to you.
Someone found a shiny new toy.
Bennett! Bennett! Bennett, Bennett! Hey!
Hey, listen! Stop, Bennett, stop it!
Bennett!
Bennett!
Earth was theirs long before it was ours.
Language, science, math.
They gave us everything.
Without them, we wouldn't evolve.
They simply want what's rightfully theirs back.
Bennett! Bennett. Bennett.
Bennett.
I'm sorry, Bennett.
I was reborn, Joan.
What I thought was punishment, turned out to be my salvation.
He gave me a purpose.
He showed me the way and he'll do the same for all mankind.
Who?
It's a pity.
You'll never know.
You can't k*ll what's already dead.
Have faith that in your darkest moment you won't be alone.
I'll be there, watching over you.
No, no, no. Stay back. Yes, sir.
It's okay.
It's okay. You're okay.
Where am I?
You are in the UAC Experimental Lab, Nevada.
Earth?
Yes. Earth.
No visible cell regeneration issues.
I just wanna check your condition.
I'm fine. I could use a drink.
Absolutely. Um, we'll get you some water.
Vodka, if you've got any.
The UAC Board frowns on alcoholic consumption in the workplace.
Right now, I couldn't give a flying f*ck what the UAC frowns upon.
Dr. Betruger was supposed to come through as well.
He had contacted us, asking us to open up the gates on our end.
How, may I ask, did you end up here?
You need to shut this down.
I need to contact whoever's in charge here.
I'm in charge.
I meant militarily.
This isn't a m*llitary operation.
Well, it's about to be.
Did you hear what I f*cking said?
You need to shut this sh*t down now!
Okay, okay. All right.
We are gonna shut it down.
What are you doing? No!
It's okay. It's okay.
Your body has been through an entire cellular breakdown and reconstruction.
There is bound to be trauma.
We are gonna look after you. Doctor, the gates are activating.
Okay.
This could be Dr. Betruger now.
