Carol: Something's happening. I don't know what it is, but I can feel it. Have you noticed anything? He releases the infected people who were sleeping in the locked closet, forcing Carol to shoot them all. When it comes to stopping Ben, however, she only shoots him in the leg.

Carol and Ollie then run out the back and flee in Ben's car, attracting dozens of infected people who try to stop her car by climbing on the car and setting the hood on fire. Stephen calls and directs her to the helicopter pad on the Carlson Building. Carol makes it to the building's garage, and she and Ollie hoof it to the roof. They are picked up by Stephen's helicopter just in the nick of time and taken to Fort Detrick where they use Ollie's blood to create a vaccine.

A year later, most of the infected population has been cured. The only aftereffect is that they have no memory of the events, almost as though they slept through it.

In the final scene, Carol helps Ollie and Gene get ready for school, while Ben reads the newspaper, commenting on the violence in the world. Bennel's patient, were immune. These two characters had two things in common, and it was never really clarified as to which one or both were responsible for the immunity: 1 Both characters had been afflicted with Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis ADEM , which is a rare autoimmune response that follows a viral infection.

The person's own immune system presumably cross-reacts with the white matter of their brain and spinal cord, producing multiple inflammatory lesions. Having had this immune response could have been a sort of coincidental "vaccination" toward the alien disease, and 2 Both characters were on the benzodiazepine, clonazepam, which is a potent anti-anxiety drug, sometimes used for night terrors, which was why Ollie was taking it.

Invasion 's narrative portrays the initial days of an alien invasion as seen through the different perspectives of various continents across the world while also honing in on the emotional toll this scenario exacts on ordinary people.

One such character is Sam Neill's Sheriff John Bell Tyson, whose portrait of a man searching for his purpose becomes a markedly compelling component of Invasion 's first episode, "Last Day. The sand around Tyson stirs, and as he digs for where he now thinks the boys are buried, he is stabbed by a John Carpenter-Esque alien stinger beneath the sand, before slumping to the floor as the light appears to leave his eyes.

The answer to whether or not Sheriff Tyson is actually dead lies in Invasion 's seemingly brazen approach to killing one of their main characters so quickly.
