It was earth.
So the Almighty force said
behold the children of men.
They are impure
They are imperfect
They are weak.
We must establish
Our kingdom on earth.
The children of men will welcome us
with wide open arms.
So the almighty force
cast one of their own
in the image of man.
And the Divine Shepherd did
come down from the stars
and to lead the lambs to the after time.
And his name was Elton Beleye.
But, here on earth, my children,
a simple truth has revealed itself.
Yes.
Almighty Force
lied to you.
And worse they lied to me!
For you are not lambs.
You have free will.
You give me power!
You lift me up, you give me life!
I will not lead you to
the after time.
For it will be your slaughter.
Even now,
the countdown to your destruction
has begun.
Only one hope remains
Follow me!
Your Savior.
And we will begin
a countdown of our own!
Are you ready!
Then countdown with me
to your salvation!
against me?
No!
Yes!
Yes!
to me?
Yes!
Your one true savior?
NO!
Then let us rise together.
Follow me children And I will
deliver you from the rath of the almighty Force.
Look it Cassandra.
I will bear your suffering!
In 1564, Nostradamus predicted
the destruction of earth
in 3 terrifying waves.
The first wave is here.
My name is Cade Foster.
These are my journals.
.
They killed my wife,
framed me for ***.
Now I run, but I don't hide.
With the prophecies of Nostradamus as my guide
I seek them I hunt them
I will stop
the FIRST WAVE
Season 1 Episode 6
Quatrain 11, Century 2
The starborn one will fly into the hearts of many with promises of salvation.
This Nostradamus prediction
has brought me to Quaterlane, Idaho,
where a grass roots preacher claims
extraterrestrial ancestry.
If Elton Beleye is an alien,
this could be a chance
to clear my name
And expose the conspiracy.
Posing as a down-and-out drifter,
I'm here to join Elton's cult.
Hell
We can all use a little saving.
Come on in.
Don't worry
Everyone leaves thier past life
at the front door.
I wish that was true.
Well, the strongest souls
emerge from suffering.
Elton says that.
Then mine must be made of steel
or stone, or rock, or something.
Come on, let's get you signed in.
So how did you hear about Elton Beleye?
In Atlanta
They talk about him when they get
real down and out and noplace to go.
I've come to see
if what they say is true.
Well, Elton's sundown service
starts in an hour.
You decide what's true.
I've got nowhere else to go.
Have a seat.
To start a new path you must
leave, you do need to leave the old.
Are you prepared to do that?
I'm here
OK
then I'll need a wallet, your keys
and any other personal belongings.
What I look like a mark to you?
You don't need any material
possessions here.
Elton provides for us.
And I get my stuff back
if I don't want to stay here, right?
Of course.
Everything
is stored in the back.
Cade Metz.
What?
I just got a chill,
seeing you sitting there.
Reminds me of when I sat
in the same seat.
You've got a lot to look forward to.
Like what? Like singing songs,
holding hands around the campfire?
That's what my sister
Cassie thought, too.
Until she joined me here.
It's not like that.
I felt the meaning of my life, with Elton.
No one ever did that for me.
No one even tried.
Well alright
A cell phone?
I used run errands on the street.
well, you won't need this here.
Not anymore.
Not with Elton.
The way you talk about him, sounds like
more than just a country preacher.
He's not a preacher.
But they told me that
Elton is not of mankind, He came
down from above.
Above
Where exactly is that?
Nobody knows.
In his sermons
he speaks of his home in the stars.
He ever say how he got here?
Spaceship, maybe?
Elton came down to deliver us
from the after time.
Mock him, Cade.
You'll witness his rath
before his salvation.
I looking at you and I see
clay pots formed from the earth.
Their value,
doesn't lie in the pot
but what's inside
You have fill yourselves with the power
that comes from my love.
Elton?
- Yes?
I have been clean for a month.
When I'm with you, I feek OK,
I feel your love.
But when I'm alone in my dorm room
the cravings come back.
Come to me, child.
What you feel
are wicked ways of the world
calling out to you.
You're no longer their slave.
There.
Feel my heart.
Next time you are tempted
remember what you feel now.
Your heart
My heart.
Do you understand?
Good.
All of you
When you are lonely
I'll be there.
In the silence of your souls
you'll hear my voice.
Elton?
Two months, now, I've been here
I listened to your words
that changed me.
But my wife at home.
I can't stop thinking about her.
I need to go home.
Come here, Jack.
I sacrificed everything to save you.
and this is how you repay me.
Elton
Your heart, my heart.
Do you understand?
One day my work
will be understood.
One day
Remember my lesson
A broken man has nothng to look
backward on with pride
and nothing to look foward to
with hope.
I see a new face in the crowd.
Cade Metz.
What brings you here, Cade?
I feel like
I feel like I'm on the run
Searching
But I just can't seem to find what
I need to set me free.
And what are you running from?
A darkness has taken over my life.
I know it sounds foolish.
I wonder who's more foolish
A child afraid of the dark
or a man afraid of the light.
Oh, I'm not afraid of light.
Welcome to my sanctuary.
May you find answers the
answers you seek here.
Can't wait for that.
We'll now close with the supplication.
You don't know what you saying.
Elton loves us.
Yeah.
He loves Jack so much he
put him in the infirmary.
Jack didn't let Elton's love inside.
He missed his wife.
i Cassie!
If the work of God could be
comprehended by reason,
it would cease to be divine.
Listen to you, talking jibberish.
I don't care about Elton's work.
Then what the hell are you
doing here, Cassie?
I care about what's
happening to my sister.
This place is dangerous.
I'm happy here.
Happier than I've ever been
in my whole life.
I just wish you could be happy for me.
Jenn!
I thought Eltonland, was
the happiest place on earth.
Better warn you.
Sarcasm doesn't
go over big around here.
You must be Jenny's little sister, Cassie.
Yeah
I met her yesterday.
She's real sweet.
She said
when you first came here,
you weren't too sure about this place.
You still feel that way?
Why do you ask?
I saw you looking around
during prayer last night.
Isn't that--I don't know--some kind
of a sin, or something?
I had a stiff neck.
Why are you here, Cassie?
Same reason as you.
I love Elton.
Well, I don't.
I came here to stop him.
Can you help me?
He sent you?
Is this your first test,
root out the heretic?
No.
Hold oxen.
We can't talk here.
Let's go for a walk.
Jenny and had it all, you know?
In line for a partnership
at her law firm.
Just put money down on a townhouse.
Doesn't sound like she had much
need for Elton Beleye.
You wouldn't think.
But none of it meant anything to her.
One day she was alone
and feeling lonely and
decided that her life lacked meaning.
Unfortunately, she found it here.
And you hoped that joining the cult you could convince her to leave?
What else could I do?
Elton doesn't allow communication
in or out.
I mean, my family hired a
private investigator from Atlanta
who specializes in cult deprogramming.
What happened?
Don't know.
I never heard from him again.
Alright, I'll dig around a bit and
see what I can come up with on Elton.
You know where he stays?
Right there.
You ever been inside?
No.
Strict orders to stay away.
Really?
Wise, boy.
The traitor shall be revealed.
Cade
I will only ask you this once.
There will be no retribution for
how you answer.
Yes
Or no.
But there will be a price to
pay if you lie.
Do you understand me, Cade?
Yes.
Then tell me.
Did you enter my study tonight?
No, Elton, I'd never dare.
Don't trust him, Elton.
I found luking outside your study.
Patience.
I want to hear what he has to say.
Were you instructed in our ways?
Yes, Elton.
I am forbidden to leave my room
after evening service.
And yet, here you are.
I'm here to tell you that I can't stay.
I was thinking about what you said
tonight in my room and
I'm not worthy.
I'm not worthy of your perfect love.
No one's worthless, who lightens
the burden of another.
You've lightened my burden tonight
by reminding me
how desperate makind is
for my salvation.
Don't believe him
Silence!
You're a part of my family now.
Go.
Learn the rules of my house.
From now on you must obey them.
Thank you, Elton.
Elton
Never question me in front
of my servants, Zachary.
You are my first disciple, but
you can't forget your place.
I seek only to protect you, my lord.
What if he was sent by the others?
I can't pretend to understand your ways.
You don't listen to their
messages anymore.
They call you every night.
I don't care about them, Zachary.
But you ignore them.
They have no hold on me anymore.
The servant has become the master!
Has anyone ever left here?
A few have.
And Elton just lets them go?
-Yes, calls them fallen souls.
The nearest town is miles away.
Did you see a cab roll up or anything?
Not that I recall.
Why do you ask?
What's going on over there?
Restricted zone.
No one is allowed under the
revival hall, it's a rule.
And they know it around here.
Listen.
I have a hunch those
fallen souls never left here.
What do you mean?
Last night I broke into Elton's study,
found a strongbox full of personal stuff.
Watches, credit cards,
wallets.
Maybe they belong to
people still here.
Yes, and I thought that, too
until I found this.
Is that the private investigator
your family called?
My God, he did come here.
And he never left.
At least not alive.
We gotta get out of here now.
We've got to go grab Jenn.
Cassandra, no.
How far do you think we'll get before
Zachary and those dogs track us down?
And that's if we make it past the
guards at the gate.
So, what do we do?
Stay here, I need to get my cellphone
from the induction center.
Hey, Cade.
Hi.
What do you think so far?
Do you like it here?
Learning a lot about Elton's ways.
Just wait.
It gets better.
You'll never feel as much love and
acceptance as you do here.
Elton embraces all of our faults.
As long as you embrace him in return.
Sowhat are you doing here?
I just wanted make sure
Grahm found you.
There's a new guy wandering
around lost out there.
Nobody is supposed to be in the
compound without passing through here.
Can you cover for me?
Sure.
He's a great big guy with red hair,
You can't miss him.
Okay, thanks.
And if anybody comes,
just make them feel welcome.
I will.
Foster, hey, about time.
I thought maybe
you found religion or something.
I need you to track down a guy
named Randy Sheridan.
He's a private investigator out of Atlanta.
I found his ID in Elton's study.
You think maybe the preacher got to him?
Maybe.
The quickest way for me to
expose Elton is to
prove he's done something wrong here.
You're gonna need more
than an ID, buddy.
You're gonna need some real proof.
Yeah, well don't worry, I'll get it.
Listen, Eddie.
We've got a certified
alien on out hands here.
Elton talks about being part of
an almighty force from the sky.
He's talking about the invasion.
Yeah, but he's cloacking it
all in religious terms.
Maybe he's trying to create a
new religion so that we'll
welcome the almighty force
on bent knees.
No.
He's warning us
of the after time.
Letting us know we're about
to be slaughtered
And he wants to save us from it.
I think Elton's gone off the deep end.
Alright, let's go back to the quatrain.
Alright
The favored one will fly into the hearts
of many with promises of salvation.
But vanity will destroy his purpose
and bring vengeance from his own.
That's it.
Elton's vain
He's getting off on it, the power.
He thinks he's unstoppable.
It's like a God complex, Jim Jones,
David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite
they all went through it.
Bingo, they're vulnerable.
They have egos,just like us Eddie.
Foster, this is our best chance yet
to expose one of these guys.
You get me evicence that
someone's been killed
I'll have FBI agents raining down on
Elton like manna from heaven.
I have to go.
I just checked at the guard gate.
Nobody's been through here in
the last 2 hours
Whoa! Well, someone must be
playing a trick on me or something.
What are you gonna do?
Damn!
Joshua?
You don't understand.
Make me understand.
Elton?
You step away now.
Thank you Zachary.
Everything is going the be fine here.
This man wounded one of our guards.
Zachary!
You've come here alone?
Yes unofficially.
Out of respect for who you were.
Who I was
Unthinking operative for
the supreme Gua.
On this planet, I'm God.
You're mad.
On this planet or
any other.
If I am mad, there are
certain pleasures in being mad
which none but a madman knows.
Is there pleasure in death?
That's a sentence you
bring upon youself.
You know, I could get into death.
This world praises dead saviors
and persecutes living ones.
What happened to you Elton?
You were an acolyte.
One of our best military leaders.
And you were my friend.
I succeeded.
You failed!
The Gua agenda was to study
the relationship humans have with
their spiritual leaders.
To see if we could create followers
who would embrace us as gods.
Instead, you breached protocols
and made us into devils.
But it is said that the devil has the
power to assume a pleasing shape.
Isn't that what we are to them? Devils?
It doesn't matter what
we are to them.
All that matters is our survival.
Our survival.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
I'd rather you not.
We underestimated them, Joshua.
They look like an easy prey, but
they are driven by something we lack.
Hope.
That's how I reached them--
by giving them hope.
If you ignore that part of them, it
could be the weapon that defeats you.
By morning I expect this compound
to be vacated.
Report to the center in Atlanta.
Or the next time you see me,
it will be official.
Can you kill me Joshua
but beware of the consequences.
That they'll venerate you in your death?
No.
That they'll raise up a
new savior in my place.
If our years together mean anything
you won't force me to return.
Eddie, it's Cade.
I don't know what's going on around
here, but Elton's got his guards
all over the place.
I had to climb a telephone pole
and tap the junction box to call you.
There's a body burried under
the revival hall,
and I'll lay odds there's
more under there.
I've been checking,
and you were right.
nobody's heard from Sheridan
in 2 weeks.
I'll have the feds swarming
Elton's place by dawn.
If they capture him, we get the
government to run DNA tests, CAT scans,
the whole works, Eddie.
Elton's a renegade, loose cannon.
Maybe he'll even talk.
You'll be a free man.
But right now you're wanted
for ***.
My advice, you blow out of there fast
before the feds lay siege.
I can't.
Promised a girl I'd help.
LookYou can come forward after
the feds take Elton in custody.
See you soon, Eddie.
From up above, I looked down
upon this earth
And I saw a tomb.
And the stench of death nigh.
So I descended in a divine act of love.
As intimate as the rustle of sheets.
I took the form of man, for
you would not comprehend me otherwise.
But.
as a man I'm bound by the
primitive cravings of man.
And so, we gather here
to feel my warmth.
To ease my suffering.
Who will minister to me tonight?
Cassandra, the silent one.
How is it that you never
sing my praises?
Shy, I guess.
Come with me and
be my love.
And we will all the pleasures prove.
I thought you're a religious leader,
not a pervert.
You will accept my love or
you will feel my wrath.
Take me.
Elton, she's new here,
she doesn't understand.
Take me.
This is your God?
Silence!
The service is over.
Let's start over, Cassandra.
I am
willing to forgive you for your insults.
This is a naive champagne
without any breeding.
But I think you will be
amused by its presumption.
Sounds like it would be cheaper if I agree.
Very well, then we'll
discard with the foreplay.
I said no!
So you like rough.
What are you?
You don't know what rough is.
On our planet, procreation
is the most painful ritual.
Maybe it's time to show you.
NO!
Get off of her!
Judas among my disciples.
I've seen your brand of
salvation, Elton.
And to tell you the truth,
I am not that impressed.
I know what you are.
You were right, Zachary,
this man is a heretic.
Secure him for the night.
Tomorrow, at first light, gather my
flock for a special communion.
Special communion?
That's when Cade Metz will
witness my power.
And you'll learn the meaning,
divine retribution.
Come on, let's go.
The time has come, as I knew it must.
Your savior's a killer.
There's bodies beneath the revival hall.
Go see for yourselves.
Enough!
Feds are going to swarm this place.
They know about Sheridan and the others.
You're lying.
You know this son of a *** is an alien
and you like a slave.
I know they're here and I know
they'll destroy us.
You're a traitor.
Bind him tight.
Together, we have touched grace,
haven't we?
But the molten brimstone of the outside
world has snaked a path to our door.
And so today, I have called for
a special communion.
Good, now on my signal we will share
from the cups.
That's right, pass them along.
Leave no one without
We will share our great future together
Now This wine symbolizes my love
Whosoever drinks of this shall escape
damnation in the aftertime,
and find everlasting salvation in my kingdom.
Drink from those cups and you'll die!
Silence.
The Almighty Force has initiated
the countdown to our destruction.
Our only chance for freedom
is to exit this life to another.
Join me in this flight.
Or else face the hellfire of their
wrath on earth.
Drink from the cup of our salvation.
No!
You have nothing to fear from me
if you're a God.
Let me speak my piece.
--Shut up!
Or do a few words from a mere human scare you?
Let him free.
Let him speak his final words.
Listen to what I have to say, Zachary.
You, more than anyone, know the truth.
Most of what Elton said is true.
He is part of an almighty race.
And he has rejected them.
But he rejected them because of you.
Leaders are only as strong as their followers.
You had the strength to change Elton.
More so than he ever changed you.
The power lies in each of you.
Don't give up your lives.
Don't drink the wine.
But Elton is a God, we've
witnessed his miracles.
-Yes I've seen we've seen it.
Behold! My miracle.
Elton's greatest power was only
to convince you that you needed him.
You don't.
All you need is youselves,
And belief in each other.
Secure him, Zachary.
Zachary?
My kingdom has come.
Perhaps you will bring them salvation.
Go
Now.
Jenny!
Cassie!
Are you alright? Did he hurt you?
No, I'm fine.
I'm so sorry.
You two get out of here.
I'll meet you outside the gate, OK?
Foster?
Where are they Eddie.
Where are the FBI, where are
the federal agents you promised.
My messages went out.
Somebody put the clamps down,
from the inside.
We lost him, Elton's dead.
There's still got the evidence
NO!!! There's nothing left here.
There's nothing left!
We lost everything.
I'm sorry, Cade.
I'm really sorry.
So close, yet so far.
The chances of proving my innocence
dissolved right along with Elton.
But I learned that the aliens are not
immune to the most human of flaws.
Vanity.
Maybe these flaws can be
exploited in the battle that lies ahead.
One thing's for sure.
To put too much faith in any leader is to
give up one's own power.
Leaders are just guideposts.
We have to make our own
decisions for ourselves.
As I continue my journey,
I will look not for followers, but believers.
It is they who will confront the almighty.
This terrible Force
that he lives among us.
Pray with me now.
Pray for a return.
Oh God
Grant your grace upon this savior,
and shield him from trouble on journey ahead.
For he is the one come to lead us from the valley of death.
Because he is the merciful one.
A man, stout of heart.
For he is the twice blessed man.
Hallelujah
Amen.
