Newscaster On TV: Pentagon officials are reporting more ships have just arrived over the capitals of India, England, and Germany, bringing estimates up to anywhere from 10 to 15 of these city-sized spacecraft. I know, Ma. Just try and stay calm. Tell her to pack up and leave town. Why? What happened? Just do it! Oh, Ma. Ma, listen. Get your stuff together and head for Aunt Esther's. Don't argue with me. Just go! David, why did I just send my mother to Atlanta? David. David, talk to me. Did you hear me tell you that the signal hidden in the satellite feed is slowly recycling down to extinction? Not really. It's a countdown. A countdown? Wait. A countdown to what, David? Uh, it's like in chess: First you strategically position your pieces, then, when the timing's right, you strike. See? They're positioning themselves all over the world using this one signal to synchronize their efforts. In approximately six hours, the signal's going to disappear, and the countdown's going to be over. And then what? Checkmate.

Just my luck. No ice. I take it you've heard. Hey, a toast. To the end of the world. He didn't come to this decision lightly. He didn't have any other choice. Yeah. You still believe in him. Yeah. Well, he's a good man. Whoa...ha ha. He better be. You left me for him. Or, you know, for your...career. You know, it wasn't just my...career. It was the biggest opportunity of my life. I wanted my life to make a difference. I wanted my life to mean something. Yeah, and, um, hmm, I wasn't, um... ambitious enough for you? David, you could have done anything that you wanted. Research, development-- Oh, honey, I was happy where I was. Haven't you ever wanted to be part of something special? I was part of something special.

You're talking about line of sight. Yeah, that's right. Exactly. The curve of the Earth prevents it. You'd need satellites to relay that signal in order to reach each ship. Well, I found a signal hidden inside our own satellite system. [Door Opens] Excuse me, Mr. President. They're starting.
