![]() Once she comes back to the camp, Louise has a vision from the near future (18 months later) when she meets the Chinese General Shang at a function. Also, they are here to equip humanity because they require help from mankind in 3000 years. Costello tells her that she can see future and that the “weapon”/gift opens time. The fact that it wasn’t flashbacks that she has been seeing is revealed to the audience when Louise asks “Who is this girl?” about her daughter in the visions. She learns that Abbott died/is dying (Costello gives an ambiguous statement: “Abbott is in death process”) because of the explosion. The capsule takes her to the spacecraft and she communicates with Costello. ![]() As a last attempt before evacuation, Louise approaches the spacecraft and a capsule comes out of it for her. Owing to the dire circumstances, the US team decides to evacuate from the area. ![]() In the meantime, things gets worse globally when one of the sites gets a message “Use weapon” due to which China decides to attack the spacecraft. The team has a hard time understanding the last message from the heptapods. They leave an intricate and complicated message at the end and eject Louise and Ian just before the explosion after which the spacecraft goes up higher from above the ground denying the team a chance for further interaction. If the heptapods were as dumb as human beings, this could easily have been the Sarajevo incident that instantly led to a destructive inter-species war. Meanwhile, a few rogue soldiers, aggravated by the media and the ‘weapon’ fiasco, plant bombs in the spacecraft while Louise and Ian are inside clearing up their questions. Louise and Ian decides to go for another session with the heptapods to clarify their answer. Louise tries to calm everyone down by pointing out how the heptapods might not be able to differentiate between the words ‘tool’ and ‘weapon’, to no avail. For obvious reasons, the word weapon spooks everyone. While the teams are cut-off from one another, Louise and company finally successfully ask heptapods the million dollar question: “What is your purpose on earth?” They casually replied: “Offer weapon”. As the global tension intensifies, some countries decide to stop working together and take an aggressive turn against the visitors. She got familiarized with the heptapod language and even started dreaming in it. While co-operating with all the twelve teams, Louise finally manages to learn the language of the heptapods.Įver since her first encounter with the heptapods, Louise gets flashbacks of her daughter occasionally. Along with a team including a physicist Ian ( Jeremy Renner), she interacts with the two heptapods (seven-limbed beings) in the spacecraft, whom they name Abbott and Costello. As an expert linguist who already has security clearance, Louise gets an opportunity to decipher the voices of the extra-terrestrial beings in the vehicle that has appeared in Montana, US. The story kicks off when twelve extra-terrestrial vehicles show up at different locations across the globe. In the present, Louise is a linguistics professor at a university. The father of the child is conspicuously absent in the memories. ![]() The movie opens with what appears to be flashbacks of Louise ( Amy Adams) at various stages of her daughter growing up and eventually dying young of cancer.
