You're not registered
to leave, Professor.

PROFESSOR: Call your
superiors.

And where exactly are you going?

[LIGHTER FLICKS]

Are you deaf?

Where are you going?

Jobsworth.

Just get back to work.

You know what's going to
happen next, don't you?

I'm going to phone
your boss's boss,

and before the end
of the day is out,

you're not only gonna
be out of a job,

but you're also gonna
be locked up in a cell

for putting this country
in jeopardy.

And that bike of
a wife of yours,

and your underachieving spawn,

will have no one to put
food on the table anymore.

Or you could just quite
simply open this gate,

and carry on living with your
useless existence in peace.

But the one thing you don't
want to do, sonny boy,

is make me finish
this cigarette here.

gun away.

[FOOTSTEPS ASCENDING]

Look, this isn't America, woman!

People just don't go around
carrying guns.

ELLEN: License.

Look, I don't feel particularly
comfortable with that-

ELLEN: License now.

[BRIEFCASE THUDS]

Do anything unexpected,

and I will put a bullet
through your brain.

PROFESSOR: Understood.

Whoa, whoa, back up!

Drop it.

[PROFESSOR SOFTLY SIGHS]

[ID THUDS]

Carry on back.

Yeah, I bet you love your job?

ELLEN: Idiot.
PROFESSOR: Why is that?

You should burn your trail,

and destroy all traces of
yourself when you go on the run.

PROFESSOR: I didn't run.

Yeah, at least not from
you, anyway.

You must have realized we
were tracking you?

I was counting on it.

Who's here?

PROFESSOR: What?
ELLEN: Are you alone?

You must be really popular
with your friends?

ELLEN: Answer the question.

What difference does it make?

The difference is a round
through your skull,

or you get to live life
a little bit longer!

I'm alone.

Good.

So how do you want to do this?

Do what exactly?

ELLEN: I'm not holding this
for fun.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Now, look, you don't
want to do this.

ELLEN: You knew this would
happen if you went on the run.

I didn't run!

What'd you call this then?

PROFESSOR: The briefcase.

Those are your last words?

The briefcase.

You need what's inside.

What's inside?

The Henco.

Get on your knees!

Look, I'll make a deal with you.

ELLEN: Shut up!

Yeah, I have him.

No, he says he has the Henco.

Confirmed.

Please tell me that was good
news?

ELLEN: Up.

Get up!

Well, okay, okay, okay, okay!

ELLEN: Pick up that briefcase.

Move.

Stop.

In.

PROFESSOR: Sorry, did you
just say in?

Get in.

What the hell?!

No, no, this wasn't part of the
deal.

There is no deal.

Put that down.

[BRIEFCASE CLATTERS]

You know, you have a real
personality problem,

you know that?

I'm about two seconds away
from knocking you out.

I bet you used to press
doorbells and run, didn't you?

You probably stole children's
ice cream as well.

Out here?

What are you hoping to find?

Where is he?

I'm sorry?

We're both here for the same
reason.

ELLEN: I don't know what your--

PROFESSOR: Ahhhh...

You all right?

[PROFESSOR GRUNTS]

I've just been stuck in
the boot of a car

for god knows how long!

How'd you think I am?

You look all right.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

And you just shot someone.

It was necessary.

Oh, so you just killed him?

ELLEN: Yep.

There were no other options?

So you just killed him.

Are you gonna
cooperate with me,

or I can just shut you back in
the boot?

Is that your answer to
everything, is it?

When in doubt, shoot.

If there's a threat.

Oh, and I'm a threat, am I?

Me, an old man, yeah?

And what hope do I have against
you?

I'll be honest with you here,

I don't feel particularly safe

with a trigger happy lunatic

constantly waving a gun around.

ELLEN: Alright, I'm-
PROFESSOR: What are you doing?

Let's just try and get along.

You are nuts,

eh?

One second, you have your hand
on the gun,

the next, you want to make
friends.

I'm trying to make you feel
comfortable.

Yeah, well, why now?

You're still valuable to us,

even more now than you were
before.

We want what's best for you.

Yeah, and what's best
for me is not to be

in the enemy's hands, yeah?

ELLEN: Exactly. So I'm here to
protect you.

Yeah, until you're told
otherwise.

So what do I call you,

or are you just a gun for hire?

My name's Ellen.

PROFESSOR: Well,
screw you, Ellen!

[EERIE SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[CAR ENGINE ROARS]

[EERIE SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
CONTINUES]

Where are we going?

Ellen?

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen,
Ellen, Ellen-

What?

Where are we going?

A secure facility.

Oohh, that sounds ominous.

We'll be safe there.

PROFESSOR: What happens
when we get there?

I'll hand you to one of my
colleagues.

And then?

I don't know.

It works best if I don't know
what happens

or where you're moved to.

It's safer for
everyone that way.

I thought you said you
were going to protect me?

That's exactly what I'm doing.

You seem like a bright
girl, I think?

Yeah, let's assume that you are.

Let's assume you know exactly
who I am, that I'm not

just some old person
that your superiors have told--

ELLEN: Get on with it!

PROFESSOR: Look, whatever
they told you,

it's not safe there
for either of us.

You need to...

What is it you people say?

"Burn our trails."

"Throw away the phone."

"Ditch the car."

Look, we're both in danger.

If your people know
where we are, so do mine.

No one knows where we
are except for my unit,

and I can trust them.

You can trust them.

Really?

Trust me.

Now, how do I trust someone
who only follows orders, hmm?

[CAR ENGINE REVS]

[CAR ENGINE SOFTLY ROARS]

[PROFESSOR SIGHS]

[OBJECT RUSTLING]

Don't even think about it.

I don't follow orders.

In my car, you do.

You weren't told to
stop me getting

lung cancer as well,
were you?

No.

But if you arrive with a few
broken bones,

it doesn't matter to me.

[LIGHTER FLICKS]

Don't!

[LIGHTER LID CLANKS SHUT]

Or?

I will punch you in the face

until that cigarette falls out
your mouth.

[SCOFFS] Seriously?

ELLEN: Try it!

See, normally I'd be curious,
hmm,

but not today.

Not with you.

You're the one that's going to
suffer anyway.

And why is that?

Because I get really
ratty when I don't smoke!

[PROFESSOR CHUGGING]

[PROFESSOR EXHALES LOUDLY]

[CAR ENGINE SOFTLY ROARS]

[CAR ENGINE
CONTINUES ROARING]

Where is it?

You'll see when we get there.

No, my case?

In the back.

Well, considering its
contents,

you don't care very much, hmm?

[COMBINATION LOCK CLICKING]

ELLEN: Don't.
PROFESSOR: Don't what?

ELLEN: Open it.

Don't you want to see?

ELLEN: I still don't know what
you've got inside there.

PROFESSOR: What are you
scared of?

Do you think I'm like you, that
I carry a piece, hmm?

So aren't you going to ask?

Ask what?

What makes me so special,

and why your people wanted me
dead,

but now, they want me alive?

You are alive because of the
Henco.

Yeah, but that doesn't
answer why

you were sent to kill me.

You were trading
information with the government.

What type of information?

What type of information?

Oh, wait, [SUCKS TEETH]
it's above your pay grade.

ELLEN: I'm not going to
argue with you, old man!

Just out of curiosity, what do
you do?

ELLEN: What, my job?
PROFESSOR: Yep.

ELLEN: Oh, I'm a-
PROFESSOR: You know,

what's your job title?

ELLEN: I'm trying to tell-
PROFESSOR: I just want

PROFESSOR: to be clear.
ELLEN: Yeah, but if you listen-

PROFESSOR: I don't care
about you,

no one cares about you!

It doesn't matter what you do.

I'm the one who's important
here, not you!

You're expendable!

God, you're a nasty old drunk.

They left that out your file.

PROFESSOR: I'm hungover, yeah,

and this, [FLASK RATTLING]

this is the only thing
that's keeping my nerves at ease

since I was almost executed.

You're still an alcoholic.

Well, I'm not contesting that.

[CAR ENGINE SOFTLY ROARS]

[CAR ENGINE CONTINUES ROARING]

What are you doing now?

PROFESSOR: Getting my file.

What makes you think I got it
with me?

PROFESSOR: [CHUCKLES] You
people are so predictable.

ELLEN: That so?
PROFESSOR: Yeah.

I bet you, my file is...

Oh, hang on, wait.

Don't tell me you don't bet?

So predictable.

[COMBINATION LOCK CLICKS]

ELLEN: You don't see me
ruffling through your things.

Ah-ha!

You tried to open my case.

The combination had changed.

You just didn't succeed.

You point that finger at me
again and I will break it off.

[CAR ENGINE SOFTLY ROARS]

[CAR ENGINE CONTINUES ROARING]

God, you're like a child!

3-7-3-6-7-1.

PROFESSOR: What?
ELLEN: The code.

I didn't expect that.

That's the code to my case,
not my life.

[LOCK CLICKS OPEN]

No, that's not what I meant.

Well, we got off on the wrong
foot.

[BRIEFCASE LID THUDS SHUT]

PROFESSOR: I can read this?
ELLEN: Mm-hmm.

It's about you, after all.

[PAGES RUSTLING]

There's nothing in here about
the Henco.

Why would there be?

[PAPER RUSTLING]

Yep, that's me.

My life, my time on Earth.

[BRIEFCASE LID THUDS SHUT]

[CAR ENGINE SOFTLY ROARS]

You know, I came here a
young man to begin my research.

I sacrificed everything for my
work,

and then some.

You know, I never got
homesick before-

ELLEN: Why are you
telling me this?

Do you know what it's like

to truly devote your entire life
to a cause,

and then realize, you didn't
believe in it?

Well, you were young and
ambitious.

You wanted to help mankind.

Yeah, but it was all lies.

And you turned into a drunk,

and now you are on the run.

Oh, is that right?

What a waste of a brilliant
mind.

Yeah, but you don't know me.

No, I don't know about you,
Professor.

I didn't just read your
file.

Well, I'll be damned!

I'm in the presence of a
fan.

I know about the
young, controversial scientists.

You forced physicists
to completely rethink

the science of black holes.

God, a Nobel Prize at the age of
23!

A genius of our time.

No university education.

A gift to mankind.

I read all about you as a child.

I read about your series.

Yeah, but you certainly
didn't appear starstruck

when you first met me.

Do you normally go around
trying to blow the brains out

of all your childhood
idols, hmm?

Who's next on the list,
Tina Turner,

Rolling Stones, Bruce
Springsteen, who?

You were a threat.

Threats have to be taken out.

You think you're Carrie
Mathison.

I am just doing my job.

Yeah, well, I failed at mine.

Obviously not,

I mean, if you've made
the Henco.

What's so funny?

There's nothing in
your briefcase, is there?

[PROFESSOR CONTINUES LAUGHING]

Do you think I would've
gone to such lengths to hide it,

if it wasn't real?

[PROFESSOR LAUGHS]

[CAR ENGINE RUMBLES]

[EERIE SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[CAR DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

What is this place?

ELLEN: It was the test facility
the '50s.

[CAR DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

[EERIE SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
CONTINUES]

PROFESSOR: What did they test?

ELLEN: The US had MK Ultra and
Britain had this.

Apparently, we were
more successful, though,

but I wouldn't know.

That was before my time.

And?

Oh, only a handful of us know
about this place now.

They did test on us during our
training.

What type of tests?

What type of tests, Ellen?

It's time for you to show me
what inside that briefcase.

Through there, go on.

Through there.

[BRIEFCASE THUDS]

[GUN SOFTLY CLACKS]

There's no need for that.

Don't try anything stupid.

I thought you were protecting
me?

I still don't know what's in
there.

I told you it wasn't safe to
be here.

We need to go now!

ELLEN: What is going on?

[GUNSHOTS FIRING]

Tell me, what is going on?!

I killed him before.

PROFESSOR: No, you just simply
can't kill them.

ELLEN: Them?!

PROFESSOR: Yeah, my people.
ELLEN: Your people?!

Your people?!
Who are your people?!

Please!

[STAMMERS] Alpha Centaurians.

ELLEN: Is that the name of
your unit?

It's the name of my race.

Oh, come on!

PROFESSOR: Think about
it, Ellen!

That man back there, the Henco.

ELLEN: You're lying to me.
PROFESSOR: Oh, really?

ELLEN: I would've been told
about that.

[PROFESSOR LAUGHS MANIACALLY]
ELLEN: Why are you laughing?!

PROFESSOR: You're just a pawn!

So am I!

I mean, they want me alive,

but that's only because they
still need me.

Don't!

ELLEN: We need some support.

PROFESSOR: Think about
what you're doing.

They're only going to tell you
to go somewhere else,

and then you're gonna
risk being killed again.

You said it yourself,
"There's only a handful

of people who know
about this place!"

Something must have gone
wrong.

Yeah, what went wrong

was that your people
made a deal with mine,

and then they told them where we
were.

Yeah, we came close to being
killed.

[ELLEN HYPERVENTILATES]
PROFESSOR: Hmm?

I can't...

I can't...

ELLEN: Oh, god!
PROFESSOR: Ellen? Ellen?

Could you just...
It'll be alright.

ELLEN: Oh, god!

PROFESSOR: Just keep calm!
ELLEN: This is crazy!

This is bullshit!

PROFESSOR: Oh, look...

Look, it'll be all right.

It's all right.
[ELLEN MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY]

Just deep breaths, Ellen.
[ELLEN PANTS HEAVILY]

Come on, deep breaths for me.

That's it, deep breaths.

[ELLEN PANTS HEAVILY]
Ellen, liste to me.

I can tell you the truth.

I can tell you what's really
going on here,

but I need you to be strong.

Ellen, I need you to keep your
shit together.

I need you to protect me.

What's the point?

Well, do it for yourself then.

ELLEN: It doesn't matter.

All right, well, then don't do
it for yourself!

Don't do it for me,

but do it for your race.

Do it for your humanity.

[ELLEN BREATHES SHAKILY]
Ellen, if he catches me,

if they take me back,

if he takes me back, then it's
all over.

ELLEN: [BREATHES SHAKILY]

[MYSTICAL DRAMATIC MUSIC

What was that that you used
back there to heal me?

PROFESSOR: This?
ELLEN: Mm-hmm.

PROFESSOR: This is my Sennai.
ELLEN: Your what?

Look, it's kind of hard
to explain.

I guess you humans would say,

that part of my soul is in
the Sennai.

Are you pulling my leg?

PROFESSOR: Surely, your
understanding of what is

and isn't possible has changed?

So you're telling me that is
a part of your soul?

PROFESSOR: Yes and no.

A part of my soul exists in my
Sennai.

Why?

PROFESSOR: My soul powers
the Sennai

and the Sennai has the ability
to change matter.

Look, it's hard to explain.

Look, I guess the easiest way
to understand it is,

the Sennai can move protons and
electrons at rapid speeds,

allowing matter to be changed.

Show me.

PROFESSOR: All Sennai are linked

If I use this, you'll know
exactly where we are.

I don't know if I'd give up
part of my soul

for that ability.

[SCOFFS] I wouldn't either.

But you did.

Well, my whole civilization did,
but not for that.

No, they did it because
the Sennai is indestructible.

It can't be destroyed.

So you're immortal?

Part of me is, yes.

The part of me that exists in
my Sennai.

Nothing in the entire universe
can destroy it?

Except a black hole.

What I don't get is what you
were doing here?

I know you were trading
information with the government,

but what exactly were you
trading?

PROFESSOR: Information to help
your race to evolve,

evolve on a very specific path.

ELLEN: What kind of information?

Your cars, your TVs, your
weapons, your bombs, everything,

we gave it to you.

Then why?

Why help us?

The universe is a huge field
of potential.

Only a tiny portion of what
can happen actually does happen.

Anything in it, everything, is
possible.

I changed your civilization

and ensured that certain things
are never in existence.

Sounds very noble of you.

Yeah, but that's what your
people thought.

What's the real reason?

By controlling what comes into
your civilization,

we can ensure that you're ready.

For what?

Ready for what?

To...

To be enslaved.

The human race won't stand by
and let that happen.

We've set you on a path,
a very specific path,

a path of self-destruction.

The human race will destroy
itself,

or at least come close to
destroying itself,

and then we will come.

We will be your saviours.

We will be the gods you need.

Sounds like killing you

might be my only option.

Killing me won't change a
thing.

Your race is already in
self-destruct mode.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Anything's possible, right?

PROFESSOR: In most cases, yeah,
but not this one.

Either I get back to my people,

and we continue with our
plans to enslave the human race,

or I don't,

and then they will wipe out all
existence of this planet.

I thought you had a plan to
save us?

I do.

A third possibility.

Well, what is it?!

PROFESSOR: Look, I need to
show you,

but before I show you anything,
we need to disappear.

we need to disappear.

SCRAPYARD OWNER: You're late.

I was hopin' you'd been shot.

PROFESSOR: Yeah, but we got
caught up in something.

SCRAPYARD OWNER: Yeah, well, I
don't like waiting.

PROFESSOR: Yeah, well, we're
here now.

Yeah, I can see that.

Who's the bird?

Careful.

PROFESSOR: A friend.

You know a lot of people are
looking for you.

PROFESSOR: That's why
we're here.

Is everything ready?

[CAR LOCK CLICKS]

PROFESSOR: And?

In the glove box.

PROFESSOR: No, that's not
what I meant.

SCRAPYARD OWNER: [SCOFFS]
Look, you can take the car,

you're not getting anything else
of mine.

Understood.

Let's go.

Wait!

They're tracking your phone.

[SUSPENSEFUL DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Pass it.

[PHONE THUDS]

PROFESSOR: Feel lucky?

[CAR DOORS SLAMS SHUT]

[CAR ENGINE TURNS OVER]

[CAR ENGINE RUMBLES]

Some chance.

ELLEN: What's in the glove box?

PROFESSOR: Take a look.
[GLOVE BOX CLATTERS OPEN]

ELLEN: Oh, you've got to be
kidding?!

PROFESSOR: [CHUCKLES] Hand them
over. [PACKAGE CRINKLING]

ELLEN: What is so special
about those?

PROFESSOR: Bingo!
ELLEN: What?

Salt and vinegar.

ELLEN: Mmm, can I have one?

[CHIP CRUNCHING]

No, they're mine.

ELLEN: Nice.

PROFESSOR: Well, actually,

I could really use a nice
cold one

to wash it all down with now.

We're not stopping for
alcohol.

PROFESSOR: Yeah, well, you're
forgetting something, hmm?

I'm in the driver's seat.
[CHUCKLES]

ELLEN: I hope you know where
we're going?

Oh, we're off to meet someone.

Well, that's not part of the
plan.

PROFESSOR: What plan?

Well, I thought that
we were going to go-

PROFESSOR: Yeah, well, I thought
we were working together now?

You know, maybe it's because
you're still drunk,

you think I wouldn't see through
your bullshit?

I'm stone cold sober, that's
the problem.

You know, if I was drunk, I
might even fancy you.

Imagine that?
[ELLEN LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]

ELLEN: Screw you.

If I was drunk, I'd see past
that hard exterior of yours.

ELLEN: Enough!

Look, I just want a drink,
hmm?

I'm a lot nicer when I have a
drink in me, I promise.

And I'm hungry.

People are hunting you down,

and you want to stop for food?

Yeah, well, they're hunting
you, too.

I know.

I still want some answers.

[CAR ENGINE ROARS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE]

ELLEN: It's probably cold by now

PROFESSOR: It's rancid.

Who makes a roast chicken in a

[ELLEN SOFTLY SMIRKS]

ELLEN: You should eat.

You didn't!

I'm not hungry.

WAITRESS: That's it.

No one will bother us now.

We're good to go.

You like chicken?

This isn't chicken.

[DISH CLANKS]

Oh, and bring me a drink.

None of that soft drink shit
either.

ELLEN: And you call her a
friend?

Yep.

ELLEN: Doubt she calls you that,
though.

There's no need to be mean.

[CHIP BAG CRINKLING]

God, you're incredible!

I'm hungry!

[CHIP BAG CRINKLING]

Where's my drink?

This isn't a pub.

Yeah, I know that!

WAITRESS: Then stop asking for
the impossible.

But you're telling me,

there's no alcohol on these
premises?

I've got white spirit, that's
about it.

You're looking old.

Well, you're no sign of beauty
yourself.

It's this planet.

It's changed me.

I can see that.
[CHIP BAG RATTLING]

Who is she?

She was sent to kill me.

So you thought you'd bring her
along?

PROFESSOR: Oh, she's protecting
me now.

Of all the people on this
planet, you chose her?

What are you talking about?

It's fate.

I thought, after all these
years,

you'd a stopped that fate
malarkey.

It's the only option we have
left.

You said you wanted to help.

WAITRESS: That's right.

You sure you want to do this?

Let's get on with it.

What are you going to do?

[BRIEFCASE LOCK CLATTERS]
Be quiet!

[SUSPENSEFUL DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Are you ready?

[SUSPENSEFUL DRAMATIC MUSIC
CONTINUES]

[INTENSE WHOOSHING]

[MELANCHOLIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]

It's happening.

What?

PROFESSOR: The Henco's absorbing
all of her memories,

experiences, everything about
her.

Why?

So that my people can learn
from her.

[STAMMERS] Why don't you just
ask her?

No, it would take
billions upon billions of years

to fully explain
everything she's experienced,

every memory, every thought,

conscious and unconscious.

Why do you need her memories
and her experiences?

Well, like me,

there are people here
gathering information,

information that needs to be
gathered.

God!
[BODY THUDS]

Leave her.

She's your friend!

Yeah, we need to go.

Her Sennai would've released a
massive amount of energy,

and he'll be able to track it.

ELLEN: Give me the keys then.

PROFESSOR: You don't even
know where we're going!

ELLEN: Well, it's time to
start sharing.

I am in this with you!

[MELANCHOLIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]

[CAR ENGINE SOFTLY ROARS]

What happened to her Sennai?

The Henco absorbed it.

I thought nothing could
destroy a Sennai?

The Henco can.

When I was briefed,

I was told that the Henco
could provide

an endless supply of energy.

Just another lie, I guess?

Not quite.

It is an endless supply of
energy,

but it's much more than that.

It has endless possibilities.

What do you mean?

Well, I haven't
learned everything about it yet.

But you made it,

you must know what it can do?

Well, technically, I only made
the device.

I didn't create what's inside.

What's inside?

A black hole.

You made a black hole?

No, I encapsulated a black
hole,

and I found a way to harness its
energy.

ELLEN: Why?
PROFESSOR: Well, its energy sits

between existence
and non-existence.

No, no, no, no!

Why do this?

Because I believe it is
the keyhole to another universe,

the universe of non-existence.

I don't care about what you
believe.

I just want to know what you're
using it for.

I told you, to gather
experiences!

Yeah, but what are you using
those experiences for?

To help my civilization evolve
faster,

and then that way,

we can learn all there is to
know about your race,

so that we can truly manipulate
and enslave you.

I still don't know how I'm
helping Earth

by letting you do this?

For the first time,

my civilization has fully
experienced emotions,

and then by doing this, we will
learn compassion,

and hopefully, spare yours.

Hopefully?

Hope is all we have left.

[FEET SHUFFLING]

[CLOCK TICKING SOFTLY IN THE
BACKGROUND]

[FEET SHUFFLING]

You seem different.

It's this place.

It does that.

You know why I'm here?

Not a clue.

Really?

Why don't you tell me?

Why are you still pretending
to be human?

I'm not.

Very interesting.

Much to learn.

But now, I must carry out my
orders.

I don't want trouble.

This isn't just about you.

Then who is this about?

GUARDIAN: What's he doing?
WAITRESS: Who?

You must know.

The professor.

Carrying out his orders, I
thought?

Then why is he running?

Didn't think he was.

I don't understand.

What?

Why you're not cooperating.

You are different.

It's been a long time.

GUARDIAN: I need information and
you are not providing it.

Now, I must torture you.

You aren't authorized to do
that.

No, that's right, I'm not,

unless you're a traitor.

Are you a traitor?

I'm no traitor.

Your Sennai is gone.

He used the Henco.

I thought he was authorized to
use it.

He is not authorized to use
it without a guardian present,

you know this.

But you're here now.

You are providing me
with conflicting information.

You're a traitor.

I'm trying to help our people.

How?

I was warned about this.

Emotion, they call it.

That's a weakness.

I just don't suppress them
anymore.

So you are like them now?

You feel.

We all do.

You've just forgotten.

Love,

compassion,

joy,

all the feelings you feel now,
correct?

Yes.

And I feel better for it.

[GUN CLANKS]

What about fear?

Terror?

Complete utter despair?

Go ahead, shoot me.

GUARDIAN: I need
information first.

But if you do feel terror, then
I must use it.

What do you mean?

I'm going to drag you across
the floor.

I'm going to put that fryer on
high.

I'm going to hold your face in
it until you pass out.

And then, when you regain
consciousness,

I will start peeling off your
skin with one of your knives,

and the whole time, I will not
feel compassion.

I will have no sympathy.

I will not stop torturing you

until I have the required
information.

He's gathering experiences.

That is his mission.

You are providing me with no new
information.

WAITRESS: He thinks it can
change us.

How?

WAITRESS: He believes humans
have
changed us.

He thinks they can change us
further.

He says that, "When you see how
emotion has affected us,

you won't allow the Henco to
return".

You have been infected.

[MELANCHOLIC ORCHESTRAL

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[WINGS FLAPPING]

[MELANCHOLIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC

Do you ever feel guilty?

For what?

Well, of the things you've
done.

Sometimes, but I try not to
think about it.

Ever been in love?

[CHUCKLES] What kind of a
question is that?

It's a simple one.

Is there anyone special in your
life?

No.

Ever?

I'll take that as a yes then.

There was someone once.

Oh, what happened then?

It was a long distance thing.

And?

[SIGHS] Well, he gave up

everything for me, really,
and...

I have a job.

What about family?

[LAUGHS] Jesus!

Am I on a couch?

I don't want you inside my head.

I am not sharing my life with
you.

All right, then I'll share.

Ask me a question then.

ELLEN: I can't think of
anything.

PROFESSOR: Oh, try.
ELLEN: No.

All right, have you ever been in
love?

[SCOFFS] That's original.

Well... [SIGHS]

Look, love is new to me.

It doesn't exist where I come
from.

That's really sad.

Not really, not if you don't
know otherwise.

Yeah, but you do now, right?

Well, I've experienced emotions
since I've been on Earth.

So has there been anyone?

Well, you know there wasn't.

I mean, you've read my
whole life.

I have learned a lot of
things today

that were not included in
your report.

No, I was married to my work,

and booze was my mistress.

So yes, I am your typical
married old man.

Maybe you'll find a romance,

you know, your final crescendo.

Yeah?

You think that could happen?

Honestly, no, you're way
too grumpy.

[PROFESSOR LAUGHS]

[PROFESSOR COUGHS]

That's mean.

Mean, mean.

ELLEN: Nah, you're old.

ELLEN: Old, old.
PROFESSOR: Yeah.

And so are you!

ELLEN: I'm in my 30s!
PROFESSOR: Yeah, and so am I!

Just not here.

Just not now.

And you're old,

just not at this point in
space time.

But I am, and you are,

just as I am you, and you will
be me.

Infinite possibilities with
continuous circles.

[PROFESSOR COUGHS]

Sounds quite spiritual for a
scientific mind?

Yeah.

Isn't that the point of science
in this galaxy, hmm,

to prove your spiritual beliefs?
[CHUCKLES]

[PROFESSOR COUGHS]

[CAR THUDS]

What the hell is that?

[TIRE IRON CLANKS]

PROFESSOR: I feel like shit.

ELLEN: You haven't had a drink

PROFESSOR: Death, Ellen.

Death is approaching.

ELLEN: I thought that wasn't
possible?

PROFESSOR: No, now, come.
Come sit.

ELLEN: No, we need to get
back on the road.

PROFESSOR: Now, come.
[ELLEN CLEARS THROAT] Sit.

[ELLEN SCOFFS]

PROFESSOR: Come on!

[ELLEN GRUNTS]

Just stop for a minute, hmm?

PROFESSOR: Look.
ELLEN: At what?

PROFESSOR: Look up.
[ELLEN SIGHS]

Imagine a sea of ideas, and
possibilities,

and potential outcomes,

so vast, so incredibly vast,

that it almost becomes physical.

Trillions of quadrillions of
tredecillion

of potential possibilities

and outcomes all crammed into a
tiny space,

that it starts to become like a
fog, and then like a gas,

and then like a liquid,

and finally, a solid.

It would be the most dense clump

of anti-matter in the universe.

How do you do it?

Do what?

Risk your life for others,
put your life on the line.

ELLEN: No, it's just part of
my job.

No! No, you could've left.

You could've left me behind.

And watch my planet be
enslaved?

Besides, what would you have
done without me?

Come on, let's go.

[PROFESSOR GRUNTS AND PANTS]

PROFESSOR: It's time.

ELLEN: Time for what?

PROFESSOR: I was hoping to do
this somewhere else,

but you need to do this now
before it's too late.

ELLEN: What are you doing?
[CAR DOOR SLAMS]

PROFESSOR: The Henco's gathered
all the info

it needs on Earth,

enough for my people to overtake
your planet,

but the one thing that it is
missing is real human emotion,

and it is that, I believe,

that will give my people a
chance.

It will make them change.

And that will, in turn, give
them compassion.

What about the lady back
there,

your friend?

PROFESSOR: No, no, no.
It's not enough.

They'll just simply say, "She
was infected with a disease".

Emotions aren't diseases!

It needs to be you.

[STAMMERS] Why?

Because you're here now.

Fate, Ellen.

Fate chose you.

ELLEN: I said, "No".
PROFESSOR: Please?

Well, what will happen to you?

PROFESSOR: I'll be mortal
like you.

ELLEN: But-

Don't worry about me.

How can you say that?

I've caused enough destruction
over so many civilizations.

It's time for me to help.

Ellen, focus on the Henco and
listen.

Follow my instructions.

ELLEN: [WHISPERS] What am
I doing?

Listen, Ellen. Inside of you is
your past, your future,

your essence, your everything.

The Henco just wants to learn.

Now, concentrate on your family.

ELLEN: I don't have a family.

PROFESSOR: The family you
never had!

I don't understand what
you mean by that!

PROFESSOR: Bring the
non-existent into existence.

When I was a kid,

I used to lie on the grass and
stare at the sky.

Well, it was usually just grey
clouds.

But I would stare up at them.

I'd stare for so long

that the clouds would start to
distort.

And then I would wonder,

you know, are the stars still
there,

even though the sun used to
block them,

or even when the clouds covered
the sky?

I used to think about what else
I didn't know,

because I just couldn't see it.

I used to think if there were
other beings. [SMIRKS SOFTLY]

I wondered if there was another
me, you know,

or if there were more than just

I said I'd come one day.

This isn't how I imagined it.

Well, how did you imagine it?

I don't know.

[CHUCKLES] Only a drunk has such

Yeah, someone who's used to
pouring for an alcoholic.

Well, whoever taught you how
to pour drinks

obviously never drunk whiskey
before.

You do not water down a whiskey.

You drink it neat, straight.

show a bit of gratitude.

I am eternally grateful for
the drink.

Thank you.

I am also eternally grateful for
the room, too.

Thank you again.

[CUP THUDS]
[PROFESSOR EXHALES LOUDLY]

You two obviously have a lot to
discuss,

so I'll head up to my room.

ELLEN: Yes, go on.
BARMAN: No, stay.

We've discussed everything we
need to.

BARMAN: Come, drink.

A friend of Ellen's a friend of
mine.

Well, how about you pour me a
proper one now, hmm?

Better yet...

[BOTTLE SHUFFLING]
[GLASS THUDS]

PROFESSOR: Ah!

BARMAN: How about the
whole bottle?

[PROFESSOR CHUCKLES]
One of those nights, is it?

PROFESSOR: It's been
one of those lives.

And could I please have a nice,
clean glass

for my lady friend here?

I don't want this fine liquid
contaminated with gin.

[CUP CLANKS]
BARMAN: She can have mine.

Have a drink with us.

Can't, got plans.

Oh, stay a bit longer,
come on!

I can't leave her waiting.

Try not to trash the place, huh?

ELLEN: Will I see you
tomorrow?

BARMAN: Only you can answer
that.

ELLEN: What are we drinking
to?

Love?

No.

Then what?

How about morality, and living
one day longer?

Hmm.

[CUPS CLANKING]

[PROFESSOR COUGHS]

You know, you're much more fun
to be around

when you have a drink in you.

[LAUGHS] That sounds like an
insult.

Mmm, oh, yeah.

You're much more...

You're more attractive.

Are you flirting with me?

If I had a song, I'd play
matchmaker. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

[PROFESSOR COUGHS]

[CUP CLANKS]

[PROFESSOR GRUNTS AND COUGHS]

You drink too much.

This is for you.

[LAUGHS] No, I've had enough.

You know, there are very few
moments in life, [MUMBLES]

you get to relax and have a bit
of fun.

Well, now, here's one of them.

[CUPS CLANKING]

[CUP THUDS]

Another.

I bet you never thought

getting drunk with an old man
could be so much fun, hmm?

Maybe I like old things?

[LIQUID SLOSHING]

You know, I'm not that old.

You are to me.

To Earth, home of the devil's
juice.

Home of the devil's juice.
[CUPS CLANKING]

And to dancing.

I don't dance with aliens.

If this was my last day, my
last day, pfft, in existence,

would you dance with me then?

[LAUGHS] No.

PROFESSOR: It could all be
over tomorrow.

ELLEN: It could.

PROFESSOR: All the more reason
to dance with me then.

It's not happening.

[PROFESSOR SOFTLY GRUNTS]

I get it.

Change the variables and you get
a different outcome, hmm?

[CHAIR SHUFFLING]

[PROFESSOR GROANS]

This is more difficult than it
looks.

[SCOFFS] Old people and tech.

PROFESSOR: Screw you!

[ELLEN LAUGHS]

I invented tech, lady.

Don't forget that.

Just trying to find the perfect
song.

[STAMMERS] That song.

[PROFESSOR GROANS]

There it is.

Yeah.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS]

There we go.

Ellen, listen.

Listen, Ellen.

[MUMBLES] Our song.

Mm-hmm.
