What time is it?
I have no idea.
It's a perfect day
to spend in bed.
That's what I had in mind.
Where does all the sand
come from?
I was on the desert.
It was so hot.
You have to help me.
He said his name
was Owen.
She doesn't exist.
Whatever you're chasing,
I hope it's worth it.
It's a gift I could do without.
You're alive!
You're one of them,
aren't you?
One of them?
Invisible people.
I see them all the time.
Jody
Jody
That's my mom.
She thinks I collect rocks
but it's glass.
See?
Yeah
Found some of those myself.
Here.
I only need one.
Thank you.
Come on.
We have to leave
because of the explosion.
In case there's stuff in the air,
but I don't think there is.
Explosion?
Are you okay?
Do those pills
make you invisible?
No.
Jody!
Jody, where have you been?
Who are you?
It's alright mom.
He's not radioactive
or anything.
That's enough out of you.
Get back to the trailer.
She's right.
I'm not radioactive.
I don't know
where you came from
but you'd better get the
hell out of here.
You hear me?
Just turn around
and walk away.

It was a nightmare.
I prayed I'd wake up.
Then I saw them and
I realized what I had done.
It was all my fault.
These vehicles'll take everyone
who needs it to Cape Town.
There is room for everyone.
How could this happen?
This isn't New York.
It's terrorists.
They're animals.
Life means nothing to them.
Nothing went right.
I wasn't supposed to be here.
My name is Reena.
At 6:17, yesterday evening,
Vex-Cor Technologies experienced an
unprecedented power surge event
inside the core
of our reactor.
In spite of extraordinary efforts
we were unable
to contain the situation.
The entire facility
has been lost
and, tragically, all the personnel
who were present at that time.
- Are you saying this was an accident?
- Not terrorism?
We don't know what it was.
That's all I have
to say this time.
You're not going to be able
to keep a lid on this one, Galt.
Too many people are asking questions.
They're gonna want to
know what's going on.
You live in a terrifying
world, Mr.
Lubinsky.
Full of ghosts, and goblins.
Government conspiracies.
How do you sleep at night?
Let me give you a quick round-up.
The facility here has been
completely destroyed.
We don't know about
Beta or Gamma.
But we know that all communication
and transportation has been cut off.
- Yes.
- For how long?
Do we know what caused it?
An accident? Terrorists?
We don't know.
Damn it, if you hadn't
insisted on this project.
If we don't successfully
complete this project
we'll be facing cutbacks
and severe negative growth in 5 years.
What the hell are we facing now?
For all you know, the other two
facilities have also been obliterated.
There're emergency procedures
in place to handle this.
Handle what?
Rebuilding the entire system?
Could take us months
Could take us years!
You don't know how long
it's going to take.
We don't know
how bad the damage is.
Precisely the point, Essa.
We don't know anything.
And we need to find out.
What do you have
in mind, Mr.
Smeckler?
You know exactly what
I'm talking about.
We need someone who can go there
and report back to us.
Someone who can be
our eyes and our ears
carry communications.
That person will ruin
this company.
Right now
he's the only hope we have.
- I won't agree to this.
- No.
But we have.
You leave a message.
Call you back.
It's a lot of blue glass
you got there.
Do you know that man?
He used to be invisible
but I think he lost his powers.
Invisible.
Did you talk to him?
I found him buried
in the desert.
Buried?
Good afternoon.
Let's go, Jody.
What did I just tell you
about talking to strangers.
- You looking for someone?
- I'm just passing through.
I wouldn't even bother looking
at the menu, we're out of food.
It's drinks only.
Coffee, black.
You look like
you got pretty close.
To the explosion
Yeah, that must explain it.
Did you paint in here recently?
No, it's pretty much the same
as it's always been.
Where's your scanner?
Cash only.
That'll be 9 rand, please.
Rand?
That ought to cover it.
I'll have the same thing.
Double cream, double sugar.
Thanks.
- I must have lost my wallet.
- Don't mention it.
Got to help each other out.
We're on this together.
Yeah, that's what they say.
Thanks.
If you don't mind my saying,
you look a little lost.
I'm just trying to remember where
I left my wheels.
I think
I think they're up by the reactor.
- How close?
- About a mile.
Nothing left there now.
You were that close
when it blew?
Yeah, I just
I was right there.
I don't know
I don't know how
I survived it.
I can give you a lift.
I'm heading
back to Cape Town if
that's good for you.
Cape Town?
- Where is home?
- Cape Town.
- Cape City?
- No, Cape Town.
Hey.
Are you alright?
You zoned out there,
for a minute.
Yeah, I just
That what happened, huh?
That and you spilled your coffee.
- Yeah, I guess I did.
- You coming?
I'm telling you, it could
have been a lot worse.
I remember when it happened
to my uncle's family.
A couple of decades ago,
in India.
Bhopal.
Union Carbide.
Down with poisonous gas.
No matter how many people die
nothing ever happen.
You've ever wonder
who's really controlling things?
Where do these people
come from?
How they got to the top?
It's a worldwide conspiracy.
Of aliens.
Yeah.
I mean, think about it.
All these takeovers
mergers, secrets
unexplained events.
People who don't exist
That's what Vex-Cor
is all about.
Aliens
I've been studying this
for over 20 years now.
How much further
is it to the city?
Couple of hours.
This thing go any faster?
My condolences, gentlemen.
Such a sense of loss.
I'm shocked.
I'm horrified.
It all seem so
unreal.
Understand one thing, 01.
The only reason
you are here
It's because I'm the only one
who can travel to Beta and Gamma.
I know that, Essa.
The board knows that.
And you know that too.
So, let's talk.
Details.
I'll take over the show
in Beta and Gamma
but I want an immediate
promotion to Exec.
Vice President.
Along with the salary
adjustments, bonuses
and stock options.
The job we've in mind
for you is company courier.
Special envoy, 01.
We need someone
to be our eyes and ears.
Someone who can carry
our communiqués and directives,
so we can get this system
up and running again.
Of course
Afraid to let me run any part
of my father's company.
Afraid that my vision
is too radical.
- This isn't personal, 01.
- Yes it is.
That's enough, Essa.
What are you afraid of?
You're a self-indulgent sociopath,
who should be imprisoned.
Essa, please.
We need you 01.
Do you hear that?
My company needs me.
And it is my pleasure to serve.
Here we are.
Home sweet home.
- Something wrong?
- Where are we?
You don't know?
- What is that?
- Headaches
So, what part of Cape Town
do you live in?
Cape City.
Sorry? I didn't hear you.
Down by the docks.
The new renovs?
Overlooking the Point.
Yeah
I know where that is.
Anyone with friends and families
in the city, they're going to
I remembered that the Isanecs
talked about Gordon Bolt
another scientist who
worked with them
on the Vex-Cor Project
in those early days.
Do you have a
place to stay?
I don't know,
I need to use the phone.
- Mr Bolt?
- Who's this?
I was told to call you if
I found myself in Cape Town.
By whom?
I'm from Good Hope.
I'm an unintended visitor.
I see.
Do you understand?
I'm an unintended visitor.
Nothing's wright.
I was told to
call you if that ever happened.
Come straight away.
Don't talk to anyone.
- You have the adress?
- I think so.
You must be Reena!
Anywhere here is fine.
Here?
Nice area you live in.
You live here alone?
Thanks for the ride.
At least let me give you my
business card, okay?
I really enjoyed
that conversation.
Jasmine?
Jasmine?
Charlie?
- Who let you in?
- Move it, mate.
This property is condemned.
I don't need a *** escort.
- Start walking!
- I'm on my way.
Papa?
- You looking for someone?
- Yeah, uh
- Papa Louis.
- Papa who?
Look, I just need
some pills.
Ain't no ***
in here, man.
What kind of ***
are you on?
For a man who slept
in his own bed, you
look as if you had
a rough night.
Hungry?
Yeah.
At 6:17, news of the evening
Vex-Cor Tech.
experienced an
unprecedented power surge event
inside the core
of our reactor.
In spite of extraordinary efforts
we were unable to contain
I didn't realized
I was so tired.
The couch is very comfortable.
I sometimes sleep
there myself.
Have you seen
the morning paper?
Well, ?
What do you mean?
talking about these
these old colleagues of
mine.
How do you
How you met them
and how you .
how inspired you were
by their book.
Yes we were
all inspired.
The Isanecs are
incredible people
Yes yes
Dead for almost 30 years
They're not dead.
They've been hiding.
I saw them 2 weeks ago.
If what you say is true
then how did you
get here?
The explosion.
I don't know exactly.
Yes
You know, you haven't
told me anything
about yourself except
your first name.
I've told you
everything that I can.
I thought you'd be glad
to hear about your old friends.
Mr Bolt, I should be going.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Go where?
Go, go!
Sit.
The Isanecs
Friends
They
got away.
And left me, here
I helped them!
I was the one
who told them about it.
They talk about
you all the time.
Vex-Cor did this to me.
See? See?
They took everything.
My wife
My family.
Instead of saving
my world
I was lost in
someone else's.
Where nothing made sense.
Help yourself
to more coffee.
Any particular reason
for your generosity?
Over 200 people died
in that explosion, 2 days ago.
Nobody knows what happened.
Nobody even knows what went on there.
Then you show up
No money,
no ID
Acting like you live here,
but you've never been here before.
You know, you can drop me off.
Right up here.
- On the left.
- I'll pull in.
I need a complete run-down
on this key card.
This place means
something to you?
Not anymore.
She doesn't exist.
Nothing in the central data banks.
- What's the name of that club?
- The Glass Door.
You ever heard of
a club called The Glass Door?
Yeah, Long Street.
I'll take you there.
No thanks.
I can find it myself.
Well, isn't that the little
messaging jump boy?
News travels fast.
I was hoping to surprise you
with my new promotion.
You'll surprise me if you
ever proved to be
a real value
to this company.
Millions of lives
are at stake.
Handle this well and it could
turn your life around.
Galt will be your contact
when you arrive in Betaverse.
Cherish the memories of
your glory, dad.
Jasmine.
Jasmine! Jasmine!
Jasmine! Jasmine!
Jasmine!
Can I help you?
Jasmine.
What are you doing?
- It's me, it's Charlie.
- Who?
Is there a problem here?
It's me, Charlie.
I've never seen you before.
Come one Jasmine,
tell me you know who I am.
My name is Paula.
Fun is over, okay?
Dad, I can handle this.
You can call the police.
You want to make
that an ambulance?
No!
Whatever you're chasing,
I hope it's worth it.
They will bring
unimaginable horrors
with their
wondrous technology.
And their lustful power
will devour all things.
Look around you Reena,
what do you see?
This place must never change.
This could be suicide,
you know?
My son isn't the issue
right now, Essa.
We have to find out
what happened.
We have to fix it.
I think it was sabotage.
Someone who knew
what we were trying to do.
Someone inside?
Yes, and I think
I know who.
We can't be beaten, Essa.
I didn't see you come in.
Hey Rick.
What's up?
The police were
here asking questions
about that girl you were
with the other night.
Yeah ?
What girl?
You remember.
You were dancing together
You left together
That's what you told them?
No, I told them
she left alone.
Apparently, she didn't
make it home.
to meet you.
Considering the terrible
circumstances
this seems an inappropriate
place for introductions.
I hang out here
all the time, Julius.
This is were I do my work.
You do have the slip?
I want it understood
that in future
all our meetings will be
conducted in my office.
I don't think
you understood me.
I'm the one
who can travel.
You bring your mail to me.
Oh my god, it's Mr Morris.
I think he's dead.
You were just in there.
I don't know where I am.
I don't know how I got here.
Please, you have
to help me.
- What's the name of that club?
- The Glass Door.
Are you alright?
You don't look so good.
You should have
seen me yesterday.
Where do you go
when you got nowhere to go?
Who do you talk to
when you don't have anyone?
How can anyone survive
so far away from home?
I never knew
who he was.
But he was there
when the world change.
Back then
I could tell he was even
more lost than I was.
