You okay?

Okay, take it easy, take it easy.

Tell you what.

You rest a little here on the sand.

When you're ready to go back in, come talk to me.

Give you a couple pointers, all right?

By the way, my name's Mitch. What's yours?

to have you back.

What happened?

What hit me?

Lightning.

That's impossible.

There wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Where's the boy? Is he okay?

He's over there.

Hey, partner.

Took quite a ride, huh?

You okay?

I'm sorry.

No, come on.

It wasn't your fault.

How you doing?

Well, I feel like I got a volcano in my stomach.

Not surprised.

Both of you are lucky to be alive.

You'll be able to leave soon.

Your father's here.

No, come on, Jake. It was an accident. He'll understand.

What?

Jake just said his dad's gonna try and kill him.

He did?

Excuse me, I'm Mitch Buchanan. I'm the lifeguard who pulled your son out of the

surf.

He was just swimming around and...

Believe it or not, we were hit by lightning.

Just so you know, he wasn't being irresponsible out there. He was just

kid. Stop.

Don't tell him that.

You have my gratitude.

Time to go, son.

Do me a favor, will you?

Take it easy on him.

You got a hell of a scare out there.

You know our truth.

You refuse to listen.

Time and again we've talked to you.

Sorry. It's too late for that.

What a strange thing.

What?

Afraid.

Scared.

Of what?

I don't know.

Weird's going on.

Mitch, you were struck by lightning today. What'd you expect?

The nights will never be the same.

What are you doing in the office?

Having a cup of coffee.

That's not funny.

You know what I'm talking about. You're supposed to be in bed, remember?

I know, but I feel fine.

You want a cup?

Creamy sugar.

Yeah, okay. Thanks.

I got one more load. I'll be right back.

Need some help?

No, no, no. I got it. Don't worry.

Okay.

win and the Dodgers would have won the pennant.

Why would I say that?

I care less about the Dodgers.

Okay.

Laugh loud.

Mitch? No, no.

You all right?

Mitch?

You okay?

Okay. Why don't we go back to the hospital? No, no, no. I just want to sit

for a second, okay?

I never bet on anything like this.

I'm scared to death.

Of what?

I don't know.

I don't know.

He surveys.

He leads. He wanders around.

He's putting us all at risk. He's young now.

Curious. He's out of control.

How long are we going to have to wait? I'll talk to him again. The point is, we

can't take a chance.

We must protect the group.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I can't stop shaking.

They're going to kill me.

Who said that?

What's going on?

Who's talking to me?

Jake?

It's me. It's Mitch, the lifeguard.

What did you just say?

Nothing. No, no, no. You said something. What? Who are you talking to?

You said they were going to kill you.

Who's going to kill you?

The people here.

I'm scared.

I know, son. I know. I can feel it.

Mitch.

I hear his voice.

I feel his fear.

There's got to be another option.

No offense, but he may talk me longer.

They're coming.

Okay, listen.

Let's go back to the hospital, okay? You're scaring me.

Get out of there.

Right now. I don't care. Just get out of there. Where do I go? It doesn't

matter, son. I'll find you. Run! Go!

Where are you going? I don't know. I can't explain it.

The boy needs me.

Well, describe it, son. What do you see?

I'm at a corner.

A street corner.

Are there any signs?

I can't see any.

Look around and tell me what you see.

I'm too scared, Mitch.

Look, son, I'm scared too.

But you gotta pull it together now. Listen to me.

I can help you.

Where are you?

Oh, cars.

Signals.

Washington. I'm on Washington Street. Good, good.

Now. Keep running and stay on Washington.

I'll find you.

Just hang in there.

I'll find you.

Yeah? Hey, it's me.

Listen, um, you're really scaring me with all those voices and stuff. Let's

go back to the hospital and find out what's wrong, okay?

Ryan, I don't know what's going on.

All I know is I hear this kid's voice in my head.

He's in trouble.

I just know I've got to help him.

Somehow I'm connected to him. I don't know.

Okay, well, maybe this is just some bizarre side effect from, I don't know,

lightning maybe. Listen to me.

Call the hospital.

Find out everything you can on this kid.

Where he lives, his father, everything.

This is nuts, all right? Just turn around and come back and we'll go to the

hospital. Just do it, will you?

I don't know why, but I know if I don't help this kid, if I don't find him, he's

going to die.

All right, now get right on it. Call me back.

He's coming, Mitch.

Who? Who's coming, Jake? Your father?

No, Porter.

I can feel him coming.

Porter.

Jake, where are you now?

I just passed McConnell Street.

Okay, stay on McConnell.

I'm almost there.

Hang in there, kid.

I'm on my way.

See him?

The porter.

He's right there.

Have they seen you?

No. But he doesn't have to.

He knows I'm here.

All right, listen to me.

Get around a lot of people.

He won't come near you.

If you don't understand, that won't stop him. He doesn't care.

He's going to kill me.

Jake, find a place to hide.

I told you.

Come on, let's go.

Look, we'll get help, whatever it is.

From who?

Start with the police.

Look, I promise you, nobody's going to hurt you.

Trust me.

He found me.

You must return with me.

I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

I understand.

Come, you can discuss it with them.

What did you say his name was again?

Porter?

Look, Mr.

Porter, I don't know who you are to Jake, but he's really scared right now.

Just so you know, he's not going anywhere.

Do that.

Tig, I don't have time for it right now.

Actually, I want to talk to Mitch about the incident.

What incident?

He pulled a boy from the surf.

He was then struck by clear air lightning.

That's what I want to talk to him about.

So?

Ryan, is he experiencing unusual brain activity?

Various forms of kinesis, heightened alpha waves.

How did you know that?

And he has.

Yeah. Where is he now?

And where's the boy?

I don't know. The boy ran away, and Mitch is not looking for him. I've got

find him. Where is he? I don't know.

Wait a minute. How do you know all of this?

Do you know anything about the boy?

Did he tell you anything?

No. He just gave me his name, and I'm looking for his address now.

Where are we going?

I'm taking you.

To some friends of mine. I can't do that.

What are you doing?

I can't do that.

Jake, the man is trying to kill you.

Thank you for your kindness. Now, wait a minute. Hey, where are you going?

Sometimes my father goes off the deep end. No, no, no. I don't buy that, pal.

Remember, I know what you're thinking here.

Now, why is he trying to kill you?

It's not your concern. Jake, it is my concern.

If I stay with you, he'll hurt you.

He will.

There are secrets.

What secrets?

So many secrets. They don't even tell me.

Believe me.

Please believe me. It's the truth.

I don't know.

Then why don't you go to the police? I can't. I just can't. Why not?

Because... I'm different.

What? Here.

It's him.

Whatever you did before, can you do that again?

There's got to be a pulling fire somewhere.

We've never been this close before.

Never had an address.

You might want to knock, you know. They could be home.

They're not.

Hope they haven't had a chance to clear everything out.

Much. You got a quarter?

Try it now.

Have you ever been to Vegas?

Oh, my God.

It's an execution chamber.

No. It's an energy station.

It's how they sustain their bodies.

Who are they?

Visitors.

Uninvited visitors.

Aliens?

Perhaps.

We don't know.

That's why we have to find the boy.

Mitch. Where is he?

Where are you? Listen to me. I'm at the old Hughes factory plant. I'm up to my

ass in alligators here. I got some guy called the Porter tracking us. He's got

built -in radar. He's arcing out electricity.

This whole thing is unbelievable.

Are you all right? Let me talk to him.

Teague wants to talk to you. Why?

He's been tracking the kid and his family.

Are you with the boy?

Yeah. You're in great danger.

Well, no kidding.

Where are you now?

At the old Hughes factory plant.

Great. There's a hangar at the East End.

We'll meet you.

Tig, you better hurry up. I don't know how much longer we can survive.

Run away.

In this door.

Wait, wait a second. You're not going without me.

You can't go with me.

Really?

If I don't go, you don't go.

You coming along for the ride, or are you willing to help?

Let's see. I'm a scientist. You're going to show me some aliens. What do you

think?

We can't keep running forever.

I want to know the truth.

I can't tell you.

I'm not sure you're ready to hear it.

Try me.

I'm not from around here.

I gathered that.

Up there.

I'm from up there.

Okay.

The people after us aren't my family.

Not like everyone thinks.

Who is your family?

I don't have one.

What do you mean you don't have one? You have to have a mother and father.

That's your world.

Not mine.

We don't work that way.

We're all created by

the same energy.

When we crashed, Shepard and Beatrice just pretended to be my parents so that

could look normal.

Landon. We didn't know how long we were going to be here.

What do you mean when you crashed?

Six years ago we crashed.

Where?

Out in the desert.

Why are you here?

Shepard thought our best chance for survival was to get among a lot of

Why are they trying to kill you?

I brought too much attention to us.

If I hadn't have been out in the ocean, then none of this would have happened.

The lightning, the hospital.

I shouldn't have left the house.

They warned me.

I was afraid if I didn't go, then one day we'd leave and I'd never have

chance.

Well... That's nothing to kill you over.

You don't understand.

I broke the rules.

Everybody has to obey the rules.

We need to get you a car.

Okay,

he's

just going to keep coming.

I'm going to go talk to him. You can't talk to him.

He's the poor man.

There's a hangar on the east end.

I'll meet you there. Go.

get up there all

right get back to the car

i'm gonna stop this guy i'm gonna get this guy's attention you won't be able

he's too resourceful i'm pretty resourceful too let's get back to the

meet you there

He told me we all have to learn to trust.

Remember?

And this is where you expect the boy to live out the rest of his existence.

In a test tube.

There is no boy.

Oh, really?

Well, then you haven't met him.

But on September 12th, 1990, something crashed near Roswell, New Mexico.

Three forms were recovered from the crash site, all of them humanoid.

Twelve seats were found inside, one of them smaller than the others.

A UFO.

We've been tracking the survivors.

One call and all of this is at your disposal?

I think you've been doing a lot more than just tracking them. Hey, Jake,

where I need your help.

This porter, where does he get his powers from?

We're all created from an energy source.

We replenish it as it is used.

What kind of energy source?

I'm not sure.

Somehow, it's connected to electricity.

Electricity? Yeah.

Electricity.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

That explains the lightning.

Jake? Hey.

Hey, buddy. You saved my life.

Come on.

I got some people who can help you.

Be the thought.

Yeah. Okay.

He's going to make it.

We're taking him to Roswell. There's a specialty treatment facility there.

Oh, great. So you can go from living in one cage to another.

That boy can give us answers to the unknown and the unexplained. Why don't

just have him fill out a questionnaire?

He's a kid, not an experiment.

Mitch?

Don't even think about it. Now, why don't you just shoot me?

I need

to

talk to you alone.

Tig, I need to talk to him. Alone.

Hey. They're gonna keep me in a cage forever.

Aren't they?

Jake.

I'm frightened by you.

Then I can't stay.

I have to go home.

Can you do that?

Tell me what you need.

Nothing.

Except to say thank you.

You sure you're going to be alright?

You have to step outside now.

The light will be too bright.

Goodbye, Mitch.

So Jake said he was going home.

We both saw him disappear, but where did he go? Did he go home? Did he just

cease to exist?

Is he in a better place?

What happened?

You know what I think?

He was dying.

And he knew it.

He said he was going home to protect me.

He didn't want to hurt my feelings.
