- Happy birthday!
(Lyra shrieking)
- (laughing) Oh, my
God, you arseholes.
- Happy Birthday, Lyra.
- [Lyra] Oh, thank you, I
thought you'd forgotten.
- We wouldn't forget
you, our little Lyra.
- Aw!
- Drink?
- Yeah, we wouldn't
pass up an opportunity
to have a party, would we, eh?
- Hello, Ursa, I thought
you were in Cumbria.
- Yeah, we had to make
it believable somehow
and someone might have
let something slip.
- Sneaky. (laughing)
I'm surprised you
two kept it a secret.
- Well, it doesn't say
anywhere in the "Bible,"
that you can't
surprise your friends.
Plus it's omission
and not lying, so.
- [Lyra] Thank you, I
was definitely surprised.
- You're welcome.
- Okay.
- [Ursa] You had a
hard day at work?
- Yeah, every day's
been bad at the moment.
- I'm sorry that things
have been bad at the moment.
- How about you just forget
about it for one night,
yeah?
- Yes, please.
- Okay, we've got some booze.
- Oh, that's good,
'cause I'm running low.
- Nice place you've got here.
- [Ursa] Yeah, you should see
next door, they've got a pool.
- Bloody hell, I could get
used to living like this,
beats my one-bedroom flat.
(Ursa and Lyra laughing)
- So what's on the
agenda for tonight?
- Party!
- Whoo!
(upbeat pop music)
(group chattering)
(upbeat pop music)
(group chattering)
- How did you see that?
- There you go.
Okay.
- Whoo!
- This is as exciting
as you said it would be,
it's actually boring.
- I'm sorry, didn't know
I was gonna have company.
- Not you, let's do
something more exciting.
Let's play a drinking game.
- Like what?
- Ah, Truth or Dare.
- And how's that
a drinking game?
- It's not a drinking game,
I just wanna do something
more interesting.
- Okay, I'm up for it.
- You're always up for it.
(both laughing)
- Well, I'm definitely in.
- Ooh!
- I'm out.
- Come on, Leo,
don't be a snowflake.
- Does that mean
you're tapping out too?
- No, I'm in as long
as we keep it tame,
I'm not gonna break any
commandments over a stupid game.
- I'll be gentle, promise.
- Fine, I'm in.
- All right, all right!
Leo,
have you two...
- I said tame.
- Keep it PG or else I'm out.
- All right, all right.
Lyra, Truth or Dare?
- Truth.
- Okay, how come you live
in this house on your own?
- [Ursa] The truth, Lyra.
- Can we start with
someone else first?
- Come on, just answer,
then we'll move on.
- It's my house, so I live here.
- Yeah, but why don't you just
sell it and move to the city?
- I'm not selling it,
it's my parents' place.
- Yeah, but why-
- That's enough.
She answered.
- Fine, your turn.
- Okay, Phoenix, does
asking intrusive questions
make you feel like a big man?
(all laughing)
- It's Truth or Dare.
- Okay, how come you're not
in the m*llitary anymore?
- Oh.
- PTSD, you saw my record.
You didn't ask Truth or Dare.
- Oh, silly me.
Maybe I forgot when you
went for the jugular.
- Hardly, it's a
legitimate question.
- Mate, you know
her parents d*ed.
Why have you gotta
be such a d*ck, huh?
- All right, let's
just calm down, okay.
Look, it's Lyra's birthday,
can we just stop with
the name calling?
- Okay, it's my turn.
Ursa, Truth or Dare?
- Dare.
- I dare you to
jump in the pool.
- (laughing) This
has got interesting.
- That's breaking and entering.
- Oh, but, but, but, but,
this is Ursa's turn.
- You know, I still need
to live next to this guy.
- A dare's a dare,
if she forfeits,
she'll have to live with the
stigma of being a chicken.
- Oh, good job that
I'm not a chicken then.
- Oh, sh*t, she's
actually gonna do it.
(Lyra laughing)
(chair clattering)
- I don't think this
is a good idea, guys.
- Oh, it's not such a bad idea.
Carina knows that my
neighbor's out for the weekend,
so he's not back till tomorrow.
- Not just a pretty face.
- And I've got swimming
costumes, shall we go?
(soft tense music)
- Wait for me.
I don't wanna miss this.
- Hurry up then. (laughs softly)
Who's a chicken now?
(Ursa laughing)
- I know, isn't it?
- Are you sure this is safe?
- It's not smart,
but it is safe.
My neighbor works
nights on weekends,
so he won't be
back till tomorrow.
- Only if you're sure.
- Mm-hm.
- I don't wanna get
you into trouble.
- Once they've b*rned
off that sexual tension,
then it'll calm down.
(Norma laughing)
- If he is naked
again, I am gonna puke.
- Ew, I don't wanna.
- I can't every single time.
- That's so gross.
- We go swimming,
he's like everything-
(water splashing)
- Did she?
(Lyra laughing)
- Oh, she's done it.
(all laughing)
(water sloshing)
- There you are.
- You missed it,
she jumped right in.
- How is the water?
- Yeah, it's lovely,
it's actually salt,
it's not chlorine.
Get in.
- I don't think
that's a good idea.
- Are you a bunch of chickens?
- I'm no chicken.
- I'm not missing out.
(water splashing)
(all laughing)
- It's okay, we can go before
her neighbor comes back.
It'll be fun.
- Birthday girl coming through!
(water splashing)
- Oh!
(water sloshing)
(water splashing)
(water splashing)
(water sloshing)
- [Phoenix] Welcome to the club,
I didn't think you'd even dare.
- Why does everyone have
such low expectations of me?
- Ah, 'cause your dad's a vicar.
- [Norma] Ah, he
actually prefers Pastor.
- What, like Father Tagliatelle?
- No, no, no, Pastor.
- What's the difference?
- Well, they're interchangeable,
Pastor Joel, you know, he-
- Oh, it was a
rhetorical question.
- Wow, you really are a d*ck.
- Oh, nice one, Norma.
(upbeat pop music)
(water sloshing)
(all laughing)
(upbeat pop music)
(water sloshing)
(group chattering)
(upbeat pop music)
(water sloshing)
(Lyra and Carina
chattering quietly)
(water sloshing)
- Where are you going?
- I need to pee.
- Well, don't go too far.
- I won't.
(soft tense music)
(soft orchestral music)
These are some digs.
(urine trickling)
(soft tense music)
(soft pulsing music)
(group chattering)
- Oh God, what's Phoenix doing?
- Is he still not back yet?
- I bet he's lost.
- Yeah,
lost on purpose more like.
- He'd better not
be up to something.
- [Norma] Are you
going to look for him?
- Yeah, are you coming?
- I'll come.
- I just think I'll stay here.
- I'm coming too, I wanna
see how big the house is.
- We're not going
into the house.
We're just gonna go find Phoenix
and then go back to my place.
(water sloshing)
- Are we safe here?
- I'll stay with
you, keep you safe.
- Oh, get a room.
- [Norma] I really
don't like this.
- Lyra said it's fine,
if the neighbor said
we can use the pool,
then it's no problem.
- Yeah, but I still
don't like it.
You know, I don't really
like Phoenix either.
- Hm.
- He's, he's a bit too brash.
- And unpredictable.
- Yeah.
Hey, can we go when
they come back?
- Are you sure, I mean,
Lyra's your friend,
don't you wanna stay
a little longer?
- Yeah, I do, but
I just don't know
what we'll get into if we stay.
- Okay, well, just
wish her happy birthday
and then we'll go, yeah.
- Yeah, okay, fine.
- Come on, let's just enjoy
the pool for now, huh?
We have it all to ourselves.
- Leo, stop. (laughing)
- Okay, okay, I know
where to draw the limit.
- They could be back any minute.
- Oh, a minute is all I need.
- That does not
sound good for you.
- (laughing) Time is relative.
- Hm, I think we
should just enjoy this.
- Mm-hm.
(water sloshing)
- Wow!
- Geez, this place is huge.
(tense orchestral music)
What does your neighbor do?
- He's a doctor or something,
I don't really know.
He was friends with my parents,
so I've never really met him.
- You know, maybe I
should be a doctor,
if you can afford
a place like that.
- Can we just focus
on finding Phoenix?
I don't wanna be
snooping around here,
if my neighbor comes back early.
- Is that likely?
- Just in case.
Oh, sh*t.
- Maybe he's in there.
- Why would he break in?
- It's Phoenix, does
there need to be a reason?
- Yeah, open door's
pretty much an invitation.
- Who said the door was open?
- Look at it, that's
state of the art,
I don't think anyone
could break into that,
least of all, an
idiot like Phoenix.
- If that's the case,
then he's a bigger idiot
than I thought, come on.
- Yes, we get to see inside.
- Mm-hm.
(Ursa laughing)
(door thudding)
- Hitch.
- Don't worry,
there's no one here.
- What if he comes home
early and just walks in?
It's not worth the risk.
- Fine.
Oh, he's gotta be here
somewhere, like where can he be?
Oh, maybe a side down there.
- Oh, looks like a basement,
who the hell has a basement?
- People like this
have basements to
store wine and stuff.
- Come on, let's just go in.
(gentle orchestral music)
Phoenix.
- Check this out.
- What are you doing, how
did you even get down here?
- Just punched a m*llitary
sequence into the keypad
and the door opened.
- How?
- It's a fail safe,
like a k*ll code.
Most m*llitary compounds
have the same system.
Have you ever seen
anything like this before?
- You shouldn't be down here.
- Oh, don't be a pansy,
there's no one down here.
(gentle orchestral music)
- What is it?
- It's an egg, duh!
- An egg? Like a pretty
big dinosaur laid that.
- [Carina] What kind of
doctor did you say he is?
- I don't know.
(gentle orchestral music)
But don't touch it.
- Relax, I'm not gonna break it.
(gentle orchestral music)
- What did you do?
- I didn't do anything.
(eggshell cracking)
(soft tense music)
- What was that?
- I don't know.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- Lyra, what's going on?
- What?
- [Norma] What's going
on, did you find Phoenix?
- Yeah, we found him,
but something really
strange is happening.
- What's happening?
What is that?
- [Norma] I-I'm
coming to get you.
- No, Norma, Norma,
stay where you are.
Stay there, we'll be right out.
- This is crazy.
- Yeah, I don't
like this at all.
- I think we need
to get out of here.
No, don't get too close.
- It's okay.
- Phoenix.
- Ssh!
- Don't, don't.
- It's just an egg.
(soft tense music)
- Hello.
- [Norma] Get out now.
- What?
(Norma speaking indistinctly)
- I can't hear you.
- The owner, he's coming back.
- sh*t!
- Right, we need to go
and hide, we need
to go and hide now.
- Get the hell out of here.
- Lyra!
- Okay.
Phoenix.
(soft tense music)
Phoenix, we need to go.
(door clicking)
(soft tense music)
(Carina gasping)
(door thudding)
- sh*t, someone's coming.
- Hide!
- Let's go, Phoenix,
we need to go.
(soft tense music)
(door thudding)
(door locking)
(keys jangling)
(footsteps tapping)
(door clicking)
(soft tense music)
(phone thudding quietly)
(keyboard tapping)
(soft tense music)
- What? (gasping)
(Micha laughing)
(object clattering)
(soft tense music)
(door handle rattling)
- It's locked.
- There must be another way out.
(keyboard tapping)
(computer beeping)
- You're cold, Lacerta.
That's your name, Lacerta.
If you can hear me, that's
where you come from.
We found you on an asteroid
that we thought originated
in the Lacerta constellation.
You traveled 102 light years
to reach our solar system.
We sent out an unmanned probe
to intercept the asteroid
and we discovered it was
debris from a planet,
that disappeared
hundreds of years ago.
We found remnants of
an advanced species
on what remained of that planet
(soft tense music)
and we searched for
months and months.
Finally, we found an egg.
We found you. (laughing)
But I couldn't watch what
they had planned for you.
You are something very
special, very special
and I was afraid they were,
they were gonna use you,
gonna use you and I
couldn't have that,
I couldn't have that.
So I brought you here with me,
where you'll be safe.
(gentle orchestral music)
(phone beeping)
There you are.
(object thudding quietly)
(lights buzzing)
It's okay, you're
safe here with me.
This is for your own good.
I've got something that'll help.
(soft tense music)
It's okay.
Come closer.
(object thudding quietly)
It's all right,
you-you can trust me.
I won't hurt you.
(Lacerta growling softly)
(soft tense music)
(eerie orchestral music)
(intense orchestral music)
Stop.
(heart b*ating)
(intense orchestral music)
S-stop!
Lacerta!
Stop!
(Lacerta clicking)
- It's locked, we need to
get the hell out of here.
- Calm down, look at me, okay,
we can't just leave
them both down there,
so we need to go and get them.
- I know.
- Okay.
- I know.
- Okay, come on.
- Uh!
(Micha thudding to floor)
Lacerta, stop!
(Lacerta clicking)
Lacerta, stop!
Please, stop!
(intense orchestral music)
Uh!
(Lacerta clicking)
Uh! (breathing fearfully)
(electronic locks banging)
(door creaking)
(blow thudding)
You can't leave.
(Lacerta clicking)
(flesh ripping)
(Micha screaming)
(Micha groaning)
(Lacerta growling)
(tense orchestral music)
(Micha choking)
(Lacerta clicking)
(solemn orchestral music)
(solemn orchestral
music continues)
- Is he gone?
What was that thing?
(Micha groaning)
- We need something
to stop the bleeding.
- Like what?
- I don't know,
a towel or something.
It's okay, it's
okay, I'm a nurse.
- M-mustn't let him leave.
- What?
- Promise me,
I don't want them to
get their hands on him.
- Who?
- Them.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
Phoenix, hurry up.
(solemn orchestral music)
- Come on, we've
got to do something.
- Micha, Micha,
Micha, stay with me.
Stay with me, yeah.
Stay with me.
Yeah.
Micha.
(solemn orchestral music)
(Lyra sobbing)
This is your fault.
- Me, what did I do?
- You came down
here nosing around
and look what you've
done, now he's dead.
You k*lled him!
- I didn't k*ll anyone.
- He would still be alive,
if it wasn't for you!
(Lyra sobbing)
- Lyra.
Hey, hey, hey.
(phone ringing)
- [Norma] Lyra, what's going on?
The whole place is locked down.
- He's dead.
- Wait, what do you mean?
- [Lyra] He's dead.
- What happened?
- [Lyra] That thing got him.
- What thing?
What thing?
sh*t, there's no signal.
- What's, what's wrong?
- I don't know, she just said,
that someone called
Micha's dead.
- The neighbor, dead, h-how?
- I don't know, but something
is seriously wrong here.
- Okay, okay, well, um,
what do, what do we do?
- I think we need to
get the doors open
and just, just get them out.
- That place is like Fort
Knox, we'll never get in there.
- We need to try, my
friends are in there.
- Okay, okay, let's go.
- Okay.
(intense music)
(leaves rustling)
- What was that?
- What?
- Get back in the pool.
- Why?
- Just do it!
(water splashing)
(Lacerta clicking)
(soft tense music)
- What did you see?
- I-I don't know.
(Lacerta clicking)
Keep your head down.
- I'm scared.
- Ssh!
Just take a deep breath, okay.
(both inhaling deeply)
(water sloshing)
(owl hooting)
(tense orchestral music)
- Where is it?
- It's over that way.
- [Phoenix] How do you know
how to work that thing?
- [Lyra] I don't, I just
figure that Micha wants to know
where the alien is
if it gets captured.
- Who is this guy?
- I don't know, I-I'm
starting to rethink
everything my
parents ever told me,
like maybe they knew
something about this.
- No, I doubt it,
it's just a neighbor.
- Well, I hope
it's that innocent.
(water sloshing)
(Leo gasping)
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta clicking)
(soft intense music)
- Ah!
(water sloshing)
- (gasping) What the
hell is that thing?
- I don't know, but it-it seems
to be afraid of the water.
- I think you're right.
Maybe it's like a
self-preservation
thing that animals do?
- Yeah, but what is it?
What you want?
- I don't think it
can understand you.
- Is-is it an animal?
- [Norma] That's not like any
type of animal I've ever seen.
- What's it doing?
(Lacerta growling)
- I think it's
looking for something.
- We need to get out of here
though and that door's locked,
so what do you suggest?
- Um, I-I think
that we need a code
to deactivate the lockdown.
- Give it here.
(phone buzzing)
(Phoenix sighing)
- What happens if there's
no more attempt after that?
- I know, but it could
be worse than this.
- Worse than this, what
could be worse than this?
- That there has to be
another way out of here,
we can't be locked in here.
(phone ringing)
- Don't, wait here.
- Ssh, just keep
a lookout, okay?
(phone ringing)
(intense music)
Oh!
(Norma gasping)
(water sloshing)
(Lacerta growling)
- Leo!
(intense orchestral music)
(water splashing)
(Lacerta shrieking)
(water splashing)
(skin sizzling)
(Lacerta groaning)
(phone beeping)
- Voicemail.
- Oh, call the police,
just call the police.
- No, no, we can't
call the police.
We broke into my
neighbor's house.
There is a dead body downstairs
and there's an alien
running around.
- Police, we can't
call the police,
I'm not going back, I'm
not supposed to be here.
- Calm down.
- Oh, I need to get out of here.
Oh, I forgot the water.
- No, Phoenix, wait.
- Wait.
- Where does he
think he's going?
- Oh, he's AWOL, isn't he?
So if the police catch
him, he'll get in trouble.
- Could this day get any worse?
- We need to stick
together, girls, come on.
- Leo. (sobbing)
(water sloshing)
(solemn orchestral music)
Eternal rest, grant unto him.
O Lord, and let Your perpetual
light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
(solemn orchestral music)
Love always in the name
of Jesus. (sobbing)
(tense pulsing music)
- Guys.
Guys?
Phoenix?
Phoenix.
(tense pulsing music)
(Lacerta clicking softly)
(tense pulsing music)
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
(tense pulsing music)
(Carina breathing fearfully)
(handle rattling)
- Oh, come on, come on.
(hand thudding)
Oh, God.
(door handle rattling)
(door handle rattling)
- [Carina] Lyra, is that you?
(door creaking)
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta clicking)
(intense music)
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta clicking)
(Carina screaming)
(owl hooting)
- Phoenix.
It's moving.
- Where is it?
- It's on the other side of
the house back where we were.
but it's moving and moving fast.
- And where's Phoenix?
- Well, if he's smart,
he's gonna be hiding somewhere,
but if he's out in the
open, then he's screwed.
- Wait,
where's Carina?
- Oh, crap.
- Should we go back?
- We're gonna have to.
- What if the
alien is out there?
- It's gonna be okay.
- I don't think I just-
- We'll be fine,
we'll be fine, we'll
just find Phoenix,
find Carina and find
a way out of here.
- Okay, yeah.
(Lacerta clicking)
- Did you hear that?
Let's just find them
and get out of here.
(tense humming music)
(Phoenix breathing heavily)
- Come on, come on.
(Lacerta clicking)
(footsteps tapping)
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta roaring)
(door clicking)
- Phoenix, Phoenix.
(footsteps thudding)
- Okay, this way.
(door creaking)
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta growling)
(door handle rattling)
- Come on.
(Phoenix gasping)
(Lacerta growling)
(soft intense music)
(door clicking)
(soft tense music)
Good puppy.
(Lacerta growling)
Good puppy, Lacerta.
(Lacerta clicking)
That's it.
I mean you no harm.
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta clicking)
We had a moment back
there, remember?
I'm your friend.
(Lacerta growling softly)
Good doggie.
(soft tense music)
- It's moving.
- Yeah.
- It's moving.
(Lacerta growling)
(Phoenix screaming)
- He got, he got him, he got.
- It works every time.
(Lacerta growling)
(Phoenix screaming)
(blows thudding)
(Phoenix groaning)
(Lyra gasping)
- Ssh!
(blows thudding)
(Lacerta growling)
We need to go back this way.
We'll go together.
(Lacerta growling softly)
(soft tense music)
- We need to find Carina.
(soft tense music)
- She's gone.
- How do you know?
- It got her, I saw her
body in one of the rooms.
- Carina.
- Look, we need to go,
okay, find a way out.
(soft tense music)
(door creaking)
Ssh!
(vase shattering)
(all gasping softly)
(Lacerta growling)
Hide!
(soft tense music)
(door creaking)
(intense music)
(Lacerta thudding)
(Lacerta growling)
(Lacerta clicking)
(Ursa gasping fearfully)
(soft tense music)
(object clattering)
(Lacerta growling softly)
(Lacerta roaring)
(eerie discordant music)
(Lacerta thudding)
(Lacerta growling)
- It sounded like it
was communicating,
calling out to something.
- What like others?
He was speaking to his friend?
(object thudding quietly)
(Ursa gasping fearfully)
- Guys, we're just
like sitting ducks.
We've got to get the f*ck
out of here, come on.
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
- [Norma] This is how I got in.
- Thank God you called
out when you did.
- Thank you,
you saved us.
- Yeah, well, I couldn't exactly
leave you in there, could I?
- What happened to
Leo, where's Leo?
- It-it got him.
- When?
- When we were in the pool.
The house had just
been locked down
and we were about to
come and get you out.
It-it got him.
- Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
- How did you get away?
- I don't know, it just-
- [Lyra] Lacerta.
- What?
- His name's Lacerta.
- The alien, they found it
in the Lacerta constellation.
- It's an alien?
- Yeah.
- Well, I-I thought
aliens didn't exist.
- Believe it.
- When, when we were in
the pool, I, I splashed it
and it really didn't like it.
(skin sizzling)
(Lacerta groaning)
I think maybe there's
something in the water,
that might harm it, it didn't
wanna come anywhere near us,
when we were in the pool.
- It's something in the water?
- [Norma] Yeah.
- Salt.
- It-it must react to its skin
or the wet stuff on its skin.
- So what are we gonna do, just
like throw it in the ocean?
- No, the nearest
ocean's two hours away
and I don't want that
thing in my boot.
- Well, what are we gonna
do, what are we gonna do?
- Look, I've got
a plan, follow me.
I think the window
malfunctioned or something.
(feet thudding)
(feet thudding)
(feet thudding)
Look, my dad's church
is near here, okay,
he'll know what to do.
- What's your dad gonna do?
He's just a priest.
- Well, he wasn't always
a priest, you know.
- Come on, it's as
good a plan as any
and we've got to get as far
away from here as possible.
- Okay.
- Let's go, it's this way.
(classical organ music)
(classical organ

(classical organ

(crow cawing)
Hopefully there's no
one in confession.
- [Ursa] I don't think
your dad would have time
in his schedule to hear
all my confessions.
(all laughing)
- Let's go.
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
- Dad.
Dad.
- Oh, he can't have
followed us here, can he?
- Check.
- No, that's okay, it's
still at the house.
- Dad.
- Norma?
What, what? (laughing)
What happened?
- We were celebrating
a birthday party.
- It-it was a monster.
- A monster, what are
you talking about?
- Brace yourself, Father,
this isn't gonna be easy
to wrap your head around.
- Look, if something
has hurt my little girl,
I want to know.
- Um...
My neighbor was growing
an animal in his basement
and it has got free
and k*lled my neighbor
and three of our friends
and it almost k*lled us,
but we managed to escape.
- Norma, I need to know,
are you girls doing the dr*gs?
- Dad, you need to listen to me.
Okay, that-that thing,
it's coming for us.
It k*lled Carina.
It k*lled Leo.
- [Joel] Leo's dead?
- Yeah.
- Oh, honey.
So this thing is k*lling people?
Right, well, where is it now?
- It's still in my
neighbor's house.
- What we're gonna do is
we're gonna go into the back,
I'm gonna make some tea and
we're going to ring the police.
- No, we can't do that.
- Why not, why not?
- H-how are we gonna
explain to the police,
that we broke into
my neighbor's house,
set an animal free
and watched our
friends get k*lled
and now we're just hiding
in a church drinking tea?
You heard what Micha said,
he said, "Don't
let them get it."
I-I don't know who
he's working for,
but he was so scared.
It could be the government
or a secret organization
or worse.
- So what are we
supposed to do now then?
- I don't know yet, but we're
gonna ask God for guidance.
Follow me.
- Oh, my God.
- [Micha] The readings
appear to be promising,
but there are so
many differences to
what we're expecting,
it's just difficult
to be certain.
- Guys, there's diary
entries on here.
- Is there a USB? We can
plug it into the laptop.
(crockery clattering)
- Yeah.
- It's been 14 days
and I can already tell
there are signs of life.
The egg has nearly
doubled in weight
and there's been
a steady increase
in temperature
over the last week.
The readings appear
to be promising,
but there are so
many differences to
what we're expecting,
it's just difficult
to be certain.
The temperature reading's 23.5,
which is five to
seven degrees warmer
than the probe recorded
on the, on the surface.
In the Lacerta constellation,
the light comes from
a weak, blue sun
and hence why in the lab,
I fitted this blue light
with a dimmer to mimic
the same conditions,
that he would've
been exposed to,
had he have been hatched
on his home planet.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Ssh!
- There's no telling what
his temperament might be,
so I have taken the same
precautions that we did
at the lab, back
at the compound.
I guess this will be
a record of the events
surrounding the
birth of Lacerta.
I named him Lacerta
after his home,
I think it's a fitting
name, like a warrior's name
and I hope he learns to
love it as much as I do.
From what we know, based
on evidence we found
on the Canus Asteroid,
the civilization
was highly advanced.
We can only assume
that this creature
was at the top of
the food chain,
so similar to h*m*
sapiens here on Earth.
But something must
have happened,
some cataclysmic event
that destroyed their planet
and eradicated the
entire species.
(gentle orchestral music)
We can only hypothesize as
to what that might have been,
but maybe if we knew what
that was, it it could help us
to prevent the same thing
from happening here.
If what we found is true,
(phone beeping)
the species was
highly intelligent
and able to build constructs
we have yet to
develop here on Earth.
(Lacerta breathing heavily)
(leaves rustling)
(soft intense music)
And that's why I
brought you here.
I don't want them using
you to make more weapons.
"Peace cannot be kept by force,
it can only be achieved
through understanding."
Einstein said that.
I-I don't know if anyone
will see these videos,
but I hope they're found
by someone in authority,
who can look after him
in the event that
anything happens to me.
The one thing that
we know for certain,
unanimous agreement
among my colleagues and I
is that we-
(soft tense music)
- What happened?
- I don't know.
(keyboard tapping)
He's here.
- What, he figured out
how to cut the power?
- M-Micha said he's
really intelligent
and he, um, he
was learning fast,
so he must have figured
out a way to escape.
(Lacerta growling)
(soft tense music)
- All right, I want you
girls to go and hide
in the sacristy.
- What, Dad, no,
what are you gonna do?
(tense pulsing music)
- I will not allow this
thing into my church,
the house of the
One Almighty God.
I don't care if it is
an alien or a demon,
it is not one of God's
creations, it is an abomination.
Go now, I will deal
with this thing.
- You can't go, Dad, you
don't know what it can do.
- I have God on my side and
he will show me the light.
Go.
(tense pulsing music)
(tense pulsing music continues)
(phone beeping)
- What happens if he
can find a way in?
- My dad will know what to do.
- I don't think confidence
is gonna get him very far.
- I think it'll be fine.
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta growling softly)
(Lacerta clicking)
(door clicking)
(soft tense music)
(Lacerta growling softly)
- You're not welcome here.
This is the house of the Lord.
There's no place for your kind.
Begone from here, demon,
lest thee be subjected
to the power of Christ.
(soft tense music)
Father,
give me the strength to
ward off this abomination.
(melodic organ music)
In the name of the Father
and of the son and of the Holy,
(blow thudding)
spirit!
(Lacerta roaring)
(melodic organ music)
- How did your dad
learn how to do that?
- He used to be a boxer
before he found God.
(melodic organ music)
(blows thudding)
(Lacerta groaning)
(melodic organ music)
(Lacerta growling)
(melodic organ music)
(object clattering)
(Lacerta clicking)
(blow thudding)
(Joel thudding to floor)
(Lacerta growling)
(blows thudding)
(melodic organ music)
- (sobbing) I have
to go and help him.
- You will not defeat me, beast!
- (speaking Latin)
Depart this house of God!
(Lacerta growling)
Yield!
Yield!
(Holy water sloshing)
(Lacerta growling)
(soft orchestral music)
(Norma gasping)
Dad.
(Joel groaning)
Dad.
- How did you do that?
You said it was an
alien, not a demon.
- Salt hurts it.
- And you know I
oversalt my Holy water.
(Norma laughing)
I love you.
You have become everything
that I wished I could be.
Today...
Today, you were more
than just my flock,
you were my trusted
sheepdog, always vigilant
and now you must
become the shepherd.
- No, no, I'm not ready to
lose you, I still need you.
- No, no,
I needed you.
You taught me more
with your existence
than the "Bible" ever
did through scripture.
I'm proud to call you daughter.
Blood of my blood.
Your b*ating heart goes on,
while mine no longer beats.
I love you.
I love you.
- No, no, no, no, Dad. (sobbing)
No, no, Dad.
(solemn orchestral music)
(Norma gasping)
- It's just us.
(Norma sobbing)
- I'm sorry for
everything I ever said,
he was amazing.
- He gave his life for us.
(Lacerta growling)
- We have to go.
- No, no.
- We have to go.
- I can't leave him.
- We have to go.
- [Lyra] We cannot stay here.
- We have to.
- Come on, we need to go.
Come on.
(footsteps thudding)
- Hey, did you just see it?
- [Lyra] No.
- I love you guys.
- We love you too.
- Sorry I'm such
a d*ck sometimes.
(all laughing)
- We forgive you.
(Lacerta growling)
(Ursa gasping fearfully)
(intense music)
(Ursa screaming)
(Lacerta clicking)
(Lacerta roaring)
(blows thudding)
(soft tense music)
(soft tense music continues)
(Lyra sobbing)
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
- It got Ursa.
- I know.
- There's none of us left.
- Look, if we don't get out
of here, we're gonna be next,
okay, we-we need to leave.
- What are we gonna
tell their families?
- I don't know, we
couldn't have saved them,
there's literally nothing
that we could have done.
- The only reason they were
even here was 'cause of me,
they wouldn't, they
wouldn't have d*ed,
if I hadn't been here.
- No, no.
- [Lyra] If we weren't
celebrating my birthday.
- Don't say that, this
is not your fault.
- I think it kind of is though.
- Don't think like that,
okay, what's done is done.
We just, we need to
leave now, okay, okay?
- I don't think I can, I
don't, I don't know what to do,
we don't know where
it is, we don't know.
- It's okay, look,
we've got this far.
We can do this, we just
need to get out of here now.
My dad's car is around
the corner, okay,
he-he always leave
the keys in there.
Let's just make a run for it,
just get out of here, okay?
(Lacerta growling)
(soft tense music)
sh*t, come on, come on, come on.
(tense orchestral music)
I think we're almost there.
(Lacerta growling)
Come on, come on,
come on, let's go!
(tense orchestral music)
There it is.
(car doors clicking)
(car doors thudding)
(both breathing heavily)
(soft tense music)
(car ignition stuttering)
(soft pulsing music)
No, no, no, no, no. (sobbing)
Why'd you have to buy
a second-hand car?
(phone beeping)
(soft tense music)
- He's coming, lock the doors.
(blow thudding)
Oh!
(blow thudding)
(intense music)
(both screaming)
(Lacerta roaring)
(intense music)
- You k*lled my father.
You k*lled my father. (sobbing)
(soft tense music)
- Where did he go?
- I don't know.
Oh, sh*t.
- How does he keep finding us?
- I don't know.
No, I've had enough of this.
He can't just go around
k*lling everyone.
(soft tense music)
- What are you doing?
(Norma grunting)
Where are you going?
- I'm going to end this.
(car door clicking)
- Wait.
(car door thudding)
Wait.
(soft orchestral music)
- Where are you?
(soft orchestral music)
Where are you?
(soft orchestral music)
(eerie tense music)
(blow thudding)
- [Lyra] Norma!
(blows thudding)
(intense music)
- Get away from her, you bitch!
Come and get me!
(blows thudding)
(intense music)
Lyra, I'm coming to save you!
(eerie intense music)
- What's going on?
- I don't know!
(eerie intense music)
(spaceship rumbling loudly)
What on Earth is that?
(eerie intense music)
(spaceship rumbling loudly)
(Lacerta growling)
(eerie intense music)
(spaceship rumbling loudly)
(blow thudding)
(Lyra screaming)
(eerie intense music)
(static hissing)
- The one thing that
we know for certain,
unanimous agreement among
my colleagues and I,
is that we are not
alone in this universe
and there are probably
more of them out there.
