:57:03
I've got General Morgan reporting in.
:57:07
Andrew Nivens here, general.
:57:09
How is it going down there?
:57:12
It was touch and go for a while,
but we think the worst is over now.

:57:15
- It's your son.
- Hang on, Sam.

:57:17
We've got 70% of the area contained
:57:19
- and kept casualties fairly low.
- Thank you.

:57:22
Would you take off your shirt
and turn your back to the camera?

:57:27
- Is this a joke?
- No, it's not. Take off your shirt.

:57:30
I don't take my orders from you.
:57:33
Order him to take off his shirt. Sam,
go on.

:57:39
I'm sorry, general. Would you
humour us for a moment, please?

:57:44
God.
:57:55
- There's no signal coming in.
- What's going on?

:58:00
The transmission isn't lost.
:58:03
The transmission has been cut because
General Morgan has been taken,

:58:07
and we can assume
that his troops are now our enemy.

:58:12
We're getting reports
that the situation's been contained.

:58:15
The reports are faked.
We're being manipulated.

:58:18
I have just been told
:58:21
that their numbers are increasing
infinitely more than anticipated.

:58:26
We've lost a town, sir.
:58:28
Now we've lost an army.
:58:33
They're capable of transmitting
not just intelligence but memory

:58:36
from one body to the next
by coming into physical contact.

:58:40
The new one knew Sam as if
it had been the one on his back?

:58:43
Yes.
:58:45
How long does it take it
to prepare for division?

:58:47
12 hours. Let's assume
we started with 1,000 of them.

:58:52
We'll be conservative.
That's one day, 4,000.

:58:56
Two days, 16,000.
