Original subtitles

You don't just take it out and juggle it around.

I didn't juggle it around,

you didn't snap the case.

Oh, I snapped, all right.

You lost it, because you juggled.

I can't see anything without the eyepiece.

Well, you can't see anything with it.

Bite me.

Gizmo, you heard him.

Gizmo, find the eyepiece.

Oh, Gizmo you found it.

Good boy.

Superior intelligence.

You or the dog?

Both.

Well, you can't see anything with the eyepiece now anyways,

the sun is coming up.

A meteor.

No, that wasn't a, meteor that was something else.

Yeah, a meteor.

It broke up and went both directions.

It didn't break up, it collided with something

that landed over there.

You'd argue with a stop sign, it was a meteor.

If it was a meteor, it would have felt like an earthquake.

What do you call that?

Well, why the delay?

It hit earlier than that.

We've got to check it out.

Let's get our stuff.

This is too far.

No, it had to be this far.

No, it was more over by the river in the valley.

How do you know?

I don't know, but this isn't my make up science project

either.

You know, I wouldn't even be here if you could drive.

If I could drive, I wouldn't need a sister, Mary Ellen.

Don't call me that.

Do you want to go try and find this thing or what?

Yeah, I guess.

You better be right.

Or what?

Or else the F I get in science will be on your head.

And dad's hand will be on your butt.

Gizmo, come here, forget about the rabbits.

What are we looking for?

I don't know, a big chunk of rock,

a hole in the dirt, something.

Oh, thanks for narrowing it down.

I mean, you know you're never going to find anything.

And if we don't, it's because you

were wrong about where it hit.

Well, maybe it just burned up.

And well, maybe it didn't.

Well, maybe it's a UFO.

That would up the old science grade, wouldn't it?

There's prints here.

Somebody who's been swimming or something barefooted.

What are you, some kind of pervert?

Oh, look who's talking, Mr. I've got a dirty magazine

under my mattress.

Not you, him.

He's naked.

Yeah, no fooling you, is there?

What?

What's he saying?

Nin gotum clondo?

What's that mean?

I don't know, maybe it means where are my clothes.

What if he's an escaped murderer?

Well, he doesn't have a concealed weapon.

Where's your backpack?

In the Land Cruiser.

- Well, go get it. - What for?

Well, you've got some extra clothes.

You can give him some clothes.

You give him something to wear.

What?

A blouse?

Mac, go get him some clothes.

Not a hat, you idiot, pants.

It won't fit him.

Go get him something to wear.

All right, all right.

Where your home?

Where your home?

That's great.

I bet he really understands you.

Then you talk to him.

Where is he from?

He's from Condarfomectum.

Yeah, and I'm from Mars.

Well, maybe that's his name.

It's a pretty long name.

How about we call him Moses?

You know, like in the Bible, they found him by the stream,

remember?

Well, I doubt he reads the Bible that much.

Can you say Moses?

Moses?

Yeah, Moses, you.

Moses.

OK, I think it's time we take the prince of Egypt

to the Sheriff's office.

You mean turn him in?

Well, we can't leave him here.

So what do we say when we take him in?

The truth.

We found this crazy guy running around naked.

Yeah, dad will love that story.

Well, you got a better one?

No, but I don't think he's crazy.

He's certifiable, trust me.

How come you aren't scared?

Well, because, I mean, he's not scary.

He is just wacko.

The Sheriff will know what to do with him.

The Sheriff is not in town, he's at that convention

in Iowa, remember?

So it's just Dead Ned?

Yep.

Well, the two of them will get along fine.

Hey look out!

You flattened him.

I didn't see him.

Kind of looks like a furry tortilla.

Let's go.

Hell, look.

What's he doing?

I think he's going to eat it.

You are sick.

Did you just see that?

I don't know.

He brought the rabbit back to life.

Did he?

Well, you saw it.

I don't know what I saw.

A miracle?

The rabbit was dead, right?

I don't know, maybe not.

Maybe you just grazed it with the wheel or something.

You think?

I'll believe it if you will.

Hey, maybe he's one of those faith healers,

like on television.

A TV preacher?

Yeah, one of those.

They raise money, not the dead.

Besides, I don't think the rabbit watched that much TV.

Then who is he?

And why does he talk like that?

I am the wrong person to be asking here.

I think we better give him something to eat though.

OK.

How much money have you got?

$0.57.

That's all?

My lottery check hasn't come in.

Well, we got enough to buy a breakfast burrito.

Come on, come on.

Get up.

Hey, hey.

Stay here, don't move, don't move.

You want something, bozo?

What?

What did he say?

You're making fun, boy?

Sorry, sorry.

He's not from around here.

He's from another country, doesn't speak our language.

Like around Paiute County?

Yeah, Paiute County, yes.

Sort of, see you.

Don't look at me.

Stay put.

Yeah?

Yeah, breakfast burrito please.

Breakfast burrito, cheese?

Is that extra?

Sort of, $0.25 more.

Sort of?

No, just normal burrito.

Normal burrito.

Come on.

Eat it.

Come on.

Oh, what is wrong with you?

I'm sorry, it was an accident.

He did it on purpose.

No, trust me.

He doesn't know how to do anything on purpose.

What about my clothes?

They're really nice, really.

Sorry.

I should have called Dad.

He won't be home from the mail for another two hours.

I don't think we should leave him.

Well, we can't adopt him.

Help you?

We kind of have a problem, Deputy Nussbaun.

OK?

We found him.

We think he's lost or something.

Oh, yeah. Right.

OK?

That's a cow of a different color there.

Oh, here it is.

He's missing?

We think so.

A missing person, that ain't missing because he's

right here, but could be missing if he's missing from some place

that ain't here.

Who are you?

Can you talk?

Not exactly.

What do you mean?

He don't speak English?

Not exactly.

You speak English, boy?

What did he say?

Nacronalacma.

What's that?

It's not English.

Hm.

Where did you locate the victim?

The victim?

Missing person.

The Valley, by the river, about two miles from Cedar

Mountain Reservation.

OK, full name?

Hubert Humphrey McGregor.

No, his name.

Oh.

We don't know what it is, remember?

He didn't have an ID.

We call him Moses, you know, like from the Bible?

OK.

Moses.

Last name?

Prince of Egypt.

Moses Prince of Egypt.

Don't write that.

We don't know his name, we don't know any of his names.

We had to call him something so we picked Moses.

Oh, OK.

Fine.

Unknown male, early 20s, over 6 foot,

well developed, no distinguishing marks.

You got to sign.

Huh?

Sign your name right here.

What does that mean if I sign?

Well, that you're responsible for him.

I can't be responsible for him, I don't even know him.

Well, somebody got to sign, then

I can call the state Youth Corrections people

and they'll send somebody for him.

Youth corrections?

You mean you're going to throw him in jail?

Just until they come for him.

Can't he just wait in your office?

Got our regulations.

Prisoners, transients, and DIUs have to be kept in cells.

But he's not any of those, he's just lost.

Pretty big to be lost.

You done the right thing here.

You go on home, I'll take care of him.

What's your game, boy?

Hmm?

What the hell kind of language is that anyway?

You a prevert of some kind?

Prevert?

I figured you know that word.

Low life.

Prevert?

Prevert?

Mr Dalrymple?

Mr Dalrymple.

Hi.

I didn't know anyone was here.

Neither did I. Now, have you seen my sheep shears?

You have sheep shears?

Certainly, of course.

They have to be here somewhere.

What for?

Well, my dear--

You don't have any sheep.

Which is exactly why I misplaced them.

Are you going to be staying again

for the summer, Mr Dalrymple?

Oh, yes.

This is the year I finally complete my photo journal.

Oh that book you've been doing?

Correct.

And you?

How did that astronomy adventure go?

I don't know.

Neither do I. Have you ever wondered if you're

in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when

you turn on the headlights?

No.

Neither did I until this morning,

when my headlights wouldn't work.

It's nice to have you back again, Mr Dalrymple.

Here you are.

Oh, yes, thank you.

It's nice to be back.

Oh, hi, Mel.

I'm late as usual, but it doesn't matter.

Ned would be taking this morning nap by now,

he won't even notice when I get there.

You know, that man is dead from the neck up.

Just last week, I was trying to explain how to put a caller

on hold, and his head exploded.

Well, you know that real red look he gets when he

doesn't understand something.

I see Mr Dufflehead is back this summer.

Mr Dalrymple?

Is he still doing that book thing?

Yeah, the picture book?

The old geezer was out first thing this morning.

Yeah, well you know there was never any film in that camera?

Seriously?

Yeah, that's just an excuse for him

to get away from his relatives during summer.

I mean, he's nice though.

Oh, he's a fruitcake, Mel.

You got yourself a boyfriend yet?

There's not much time.

Oh, you always make time for a man, honey.

And they'll make time for you.

I'll see you.

Thanks a lot, Bill.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

How's it going, Mac?

Hey, dad.

How'd it go last night?

Did you finish your project?

Sort of.

Sort of?

Yeah, it's kind of a long story.

Is that all garbage?

There's two more.

How do we get so much garbage?

Did you finish the chores?

I still have to do the restrooms.

Your favorite.

Yeah.

Mac.

Yeah?

I appreciate the help.

As soon as I make enough extra to pay

your mom the rest of the divorce settlement, I'll quit the mail.

Look, dad, it's OK.

That wasn't your fault.

Actually, it was.

I realize that now.

After your mother started her own business,

and became miss career woman, we stopped talking.

She started talking with someone else.

She didn't want us either, dad.

Mel thinks it's because she was adopted.

Well, she's wrong.

But I wasn't adopted.

She loves you both, she does.

She left because she didn't love me anymore, Mac.

That's the only reason, that's the truth.

It's ancient history now anyway.

Where's Mel?

She's checking on who's staying next week.

Do you have to work the swing shift tonight?

No, but I do have to get the generator running again.

You should get some sleep.

Yeah, later.

Hey, how did the experiment go?

Did you get up in time?

Yeah, but something kind of weird happened.

Get off my back.

It ain't my fault, OK?

I got to have a security witness when I transport

a prisoner, Becky Sue.

Why?

I don't know, Sheriff says.

You need a real jail, man.

This is a real jail.

Oh it's a storage closet with bars on it.

So where is he?

He was right here.

You saw the door, it was locked.

He couldn't have gone out.

Yeah, but I never saw you but nobody in here.

He was here.

Them kids saw me put him in, I swear.

I know you do, but don't.

That Corrections officer is on the way over from Richfield

to pick him up.

Generator is history until I replace this alternator.

When you guys are finished, head over to Brinks

and get a hamburger, OK?

There's money in the cup above the sink.

Richfield Auto is the only place to get one of these.

Dad, I think you need to go to the Sheriff's office

and sign that paper.

I'll talk to Ned in the morning.

You did the right thing, honey.

From what Mac told me, that guy was a real loony tune.

Well, what about the rabbit?

You probably just knocked him out for a minute, lucky rabbit.

It's why they have those feet.

You know, rabbits feet?

For luck?

He was different though, daddy.

I think that he needed our help.

Why?

What can we do?

I don't know.

Something.

I think that maybe he was a foreigner,

and he was from a different country.

Daddy, please?

OK.

Well, I'll see what I can do when I talk to Ned.

Thanks.

Be careful.

Yeah, I will.

Come back.

Count on it.

I'll be home by three, four at the latest.

Oh, if your mother calls, the check is in the mail.

Do you really want me to say that?

Why not?

I'm going to drop it in the mailbox on my way.

It will reach her by the time she calls.

You want to go get something to eat?

Hello?

What?

How did he get here?

How did he know where to come?

Yeah.

Moses, how did you get here?

Oh, yeah.

That's working great.

You go take the Prince of Egypt

up and get him some clothes.

I'll finish up here.

Right.

This way, your highness.

Not bad.

It's all I could find them that wasn't old and dorky.

What is he doing?

Making out with a magazine.

He's pretty nosy.

Well, it looks like he's looking for something.

He can't even speak English.

Maybe he's from Europe or something.

Then what would he be looking for?

I don't know.

Navota.

Navajo?

Navota.

Navajo.

Navota.

He does pretty good for a guy not even knowing how to read.

Yeah.

Gretchen Klein, Youth Corrections officer.

Deputy?

Oh, deputy Ned Nussbaun.

Oh, I didn't know you was coming so soon.

I was in Richfield when the office called.

The receptionist told me where to find you.

May I see the prisoner now?

Well, he ain't no prisoner.

I mean, he's more like a missing person.

Where do you have him?

I don't, exactly.

Don't exactly what?

Don't exactly have him.

What do you have, exactly?

A really big headache.

He's a one-track mind.

Yeah.

Who's that?

Probably just a check in.

I'll get it.

What are you looking for?

Dead Ned and some woman are in the store, we're busted.

- You stall them. - How?

I don't know.

Tell him our dad is not here and that you're not

allowed to talk to strangers.

What strangers?

We just saw Ned two hours ago.

Will you not argue?

Will you just do it?

Look, you've got to hide, OK?

Hide?

Yeah, hide, as in not be seen, hide.

Hide.

Hide?

Mel, we're looking for that boy you kids brought in.

I told them we didn't see anybody.

Well, what happened?

Apparently, the young man you found

has escaped your county's state of the art

incarceration facilities.

Do you know where he might have gone?

No.

I don't think he was from this country though.

He's an illegal alien?

Why didn't you say anything when you called the department?

I don't know that for sure, ma'am.

I mean, he didn't talk English too good,

but he could've been faking, you know?

He's already a fugitive from justice, and now an IA?

I'll have to call immigration.

You know, maybe he was where we found him.

Where is that?

Over by the trees by Fremont.

Oh, over by them by Red Cliffs just west of us here.

About four, five mile.

I want to go there.

Just Gizmo, our dog.

I love dogs.

What kind?

You have two German shepherds.

We do?

We do, we do.

Beautiful animals.

Why is one wearing clothes?

It's a joke, on my dad.

You know, before he gets home.

Yeah.

I need an access to an NCIC computer, deputy.

We only got the one over to the office.

We need to speak with you again.

OK.

And your father.

I'll tell him.

Thank you.

How did you do that?

Cedar Mountain?

He's a Navajo?

Have you ever seen a Navajo

that can turn into a dog?

Yeah, well no.

I didn't see it, but I've heard about the shapeshifting

legends.

Evie would know.

Not her, she's crazy.

Look, this whole thing is crazy.

Have you got a better idea?

No, I think he's an alien.

Well, would an alien look like us?

Why not?

Maybe he's from a planet just like ours.

You know, an exact duplicate, but just more advanced.

Where do you come up with this stuff?

I mean, look at him, he's just like us.

Is he?

Can you do what he does?

I don't know, maybe in 100 years.

Maybe never.

So how are we going to get there?

We don't have anything to drive.

Three miles and we'll have to carry him.

Well, we'll take turns.

We don't have a choice.

Ladies first.

Mr Dalrymple, can you watch the office

for a couple of hours?

We've got to go run an errand.

In case anybody wants to check in,

I left some cards on the table.

Oh, I can't play cards right now, I'm adjusting my camera.

Oh, you're new.

Oh, he's our cousin from Europe.

He doesn't speak English.

What's up?

Huh?

Warsaw, Warsaw.

He's from Warsaw, Poland.

Yeah, he's just staying for a couple of days.

Can you watch the place?

I don't think so, it's pretty boring just watching it.

I didn't mean--

I mean, can you just keep an eye on the place,

just in case anybody stops by?

Oh, well, yes, I suppose I could do that.

But I can't play cards.

Right, no cards.

OK, we won't be long.

Thank you.

How long?

Not very long.

Longer than an Amish phone book?

That would be pretty short, actually.

Thank you, Mr Dalrymple. We won't be long, OK?

See you.

He weighs a ton.

It hasn't even been a mile.

No, you got to take him.

Mountain?

Mountain?

Yes.

He's a quick learner.

Mountain.

You've got to take him.

All right, only for the next mile,

then it's your turn again.

Crana?

What's that?

Mel, look.

We're almost there, and it only took six minutes.

This is amazing.

It must take a lot out of him.

Yeah.

You OK?

OK.

We're going to rest here for a minute.

You know, I've been thinking about that rabbit.

What if he's an Empath?

A what?

An Empath.

I saw it on the Trek reruns.

An Empath can transfer thoughts, emotions, pain, everything.

Or what if he just has a bigger brain than we do?

Then why did he come?

I mean, if he is a real alien, why here?

And he didn't pack for the trip very

well, unless on their planet they run around naked.

Maybe he's just stranded.

You mean like a desert island or something?

Yeah.

Maybe to him, our planet is like a desert island.

We got the desert part, no problem.

Why does he keep looking over there?

Hi, Evie.

Hi, welcome.

Do you always live in a teepee?

No, but I can't live in the trailer with that ferret

my son married.

Your son married a ferret?

In human form.

She doesn't want a true Navajo Hogan,

so I make do with a giant teepee.

It suits me.

I stay out here when the weather's nice.

Who is your friend?

Moses, that's not his real name,

that's just what we call him.

Yata noshine?

He is not from here.

That's for sure.

Look we need your help, Evie.

We think that he can speak Navajo.

Kinoda?

He doesn't speak Navajo.

He doesn't?

No, our language is the child of his tongue.

No, Gizmo, keep guard.

What is it?

It means the one who comes in fire, him.

Moses comes on fire?

In fire, but he is much more.

He understands you.

No, I understand him.

If the legends are true he came to Table Rock Valley.

How did you know that?

It is where the others from before were.

They come from the galaxy of 50 stars.

Not a very big galaxy if it only has 50 stars.

It is only a representation of the night sky

where his people live, that is what our people believe.

I saw it once when I was very young.

It is rare when they come to visit,

but our legends have recorded them for as long

as we have been a people.

It is always in the Valley near Nakote.

The place of the red cliffs.

Nakote means place of fire.

When I said to him before, he understood.

It means one of power.

He is a.

All have been.

But it weakens them to use their power.

Every time he does, he will lose more of his life energy.

Yeah we saw that happen.

Why?

I don't know.

One of the stories says it has to do with the sunlight.

Solar power?

Perhaps.

We could speak with him.

My brother was a code speaker during the Great War.

Do you know what that is?

No.

During that war the army used our language

to send their codes.

Young Indian soldiers like my brother came up with the code.

The enemy couldn't break the code because they

could never learn the language.

This is the personal journal of my brother.

In it, he wrote down all of the translations.

If he can read our Navajo, he could learn to speak from this.

He's an alien, isn't he?

Well, he's not from this place, that is true.

But he is not entirely different from us either.

He is one of what we call "the others".

They are as we are, but not from us.

Do you understand?

Not really.

When did you find him?

Just about daybreak.

You must take him back there before it gets dark.

He cannot survive more than 12 hours.

What do you mean survive?

His kind lose their life force.

The others who stayed too long died.

He is too old.

Too old?

There were some who survived, infants, they could adapt.

It is said they walk among us even now,

but the adults could not, and he is an adult.

He can learn to speak now.

It will not take long if you allow

him to share your memories.

Huh?

He can experience how you know the language if you help him.

But he must learn quickly, you only have about five hours

left.

It means farewell.

Mr McGregor?

Yo.

Gretchen Klein, state division of Youth Corrections.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to speak with your children again.

Again?

I was here earlier.

I'm looking for a young man they found this morning.

Oh, you mean the guy that thinks he's from outer space?

I'm not sure of his origin, just his status.

Are your children here?

No.

May I ask where they are?

You may, but I don't know.

They told one of the summer guests they had an errand.

What do you want from them?

Information.

The young man they found escaped custody,

but I think they may know where he is.

The Sheriff's department is conducting

a search area right now.

Is this guy dangerous?

Possibly.

Well why would Mel and Mac know where he is?

Besides the deputy, they are the only one

who have had contact with him.

What do you think?

They're hiding him or something?

I don't know, but I intend to find out.

I'd appreciate a call on my cell phone number

when your children get back.

All right.

You got to smile more.

I beg your pardon?

You have a nice face, you shouldn't hide it.

That's none of your business.

It's just a suggestion.

Keep them to yourself.

You don't have a lot of dates, do you?

My personal life is not a topic for discussion,

especially with a total stranger,

but if your children are harboring a fugitive,

that's a felony, and you are an accessory.

And I do have a lot of dates.

Of men?

What?

That's where he wants to go.

Well, how can we be sure?

Look, you really have to learn this.

What's in that book?

He's learning about everything.

I got something you could learn, jail time.

Had a tip you'd be here.

You can't take him, he's not a criminal.

Oh, yes he is.

He's a fugitive from justice.

What justice?

He hasn't done anything.

God, you are so full of it.

I could arrest you, you know?

Obstruction of justice, harboring

a fugitive, lots of stuff.

You're probably looking at some kind of probation as it is.

So you just back off.

Well, where are you taking him?

Richfield.

That's two hours away.

That's the idea.

Going to see who got a better jail, taking over my cell.

He's got what you think he is.

No matter spit what I think, it matters what the judge

over at Richfield thinks.

You go on home.

Mac, you have to find it.

Find what?

It's a thing that he lost.

Look, I know it's hard to explain,

but I don't even know how I know it, but I just know it.

I mean, it's like I could understand his thoughts.

Where's he from, Mel?

He's from another solar system four light years away.

So he travels the speed of light?

I don't know, but I think he was traveling home.

How do you know?

Well, he showed me, when he kissed me.

Thought transference by the mouth.

Look, it's not like it sounds, OK?

He has like a raft, it's like a tool.

You have to find it.

A raft like a tool?

What would that look like?

I don't know.

Well, where is it?

I don't know.

Is it larger than a Redbox?

Look, I know this is vague, but I don't really

know how to put it into words.

I'm going to have to give it to you.

There's no way I'm kissing you.

No.

Yeah, I saw it.

Pine Crest.

I think so.

Now I want you to go see if you can find it,

and I'm going to go try and help Moses.

How did you do that?

I don't know, I just knew that I could.

How are you going to get him out?

I don't know, I'll think of that when I get there.

So if I find this thing, where do I meet you?

Meet me where we found him.

What about dad?

- We'll think of that tomorrow. - Well, hey.

Just go.

What?

When he kissed you, did he slip you any tongue?

You are so sick.

Will you just go?

Sheriff's going to kill me.

Jeez, Gizmo, I can see it in my mind,

but it's nothing I recognize.

Come on, Gizmo, come on.

Becky Sue, are you there?

Come on.

Becky Sue, where are you?

Becky Sue!

Keep your boots on, I was in the ladies room.

What?

Yeah, you know, I got car trouble.

It just died on me here.

Could head on to Noland, have him borrow Daryl's truck,

give me a tow?

Well, where are you?

I'm on the Old Fremont Road, about a mile east of--

What the hell?

About a mile from hell?

Are you kissing me, or giving me directions, Ned Nussbaun?

He looks like me.

Who looks like you, Ned?

Him.

Him who?

The prisoner.

What did you do to me?

Hey.

I didn't do nothing, Ned.

Where are you?

Ned, have you been drinking again?

Hey, Nolan?

Yeah?

I think Ned's gone and broke down the Sheriff's car again.

Well, there is a surprise.

Can you go get him?

Where's he at?

I don't know, somewhere between hell

and the Old Fremont Road.

Sounds about right.

He says the prisoner looks like him.

He's an idiot.

I, know but he seemed pretty worked up, so be nice to him.

You know how he is.

Yeah, all right.

Let me finish up and I'll go get him.

Thanks.

Hey, Ned you there?

Ned, you hear me?

Becky Sue!

Becky Sue!

Get somebody out here.

Becky Sue, do you hear me?

I'm sending Nolan right now.

Call that woman, Klein, from Youth Corrections.

I'm never going to make it.

Do not worry.

How did--

Stop.

Still learning.

You've learned the language?

Not all of it, some.

The Valley,

Take me there.

OK.

Who are you?

What are you?

Like you.

What, exactly like me?

No, some differences.

What kind?

Inside, I'm different.

A lot different?

No.

How did you get away from Dead Ned?

Projection.

You projected him?

Yes, but Ned is not dead.

I know, everyone calls him dead Ned because it's like

he's dead from the neck up, like he's dead and he has

no brains-- he's like dead Ned.

No, I do not understand.

I must get back now.

OK, but we're going to have to walk.

Yes.

Let's go then.

The young man who escaped custody, your children

were with him.

He's got them?

I don't know all the details.

Where?

Where they were this morning.

Down on the river or at the plateau.

According to the deputy's report, the plateau.

That's where I'm going.

If you'd like to come, I'll give you a ride.

Thanks.

How do you do that?

How do you, like, change yourself into other things

and make someone see what you're seeing just by touching them?

Do you have bigger brains than we do?

No, more efficient and advanced.

Yeah, but what about Gizmo, the dog?

How did you do that?

I didn't.

Projection.

That's what you mean.

You project an image and we think that we're

seeing what you project.

Yes.

But it makes you tired?

It takes my energy, yes.

Well, don't do it anymore.

Save what you've got.

I am conserving.

How much time you have left?

Not long.

You have to leave before dark, huh?

Yes.

Well, that only leaves us about three hours,

that's not a very long time.

What happens if you don't get back?

I cease.

You die?

My life force will expire in your solar atmosphere.

Someone's coming.

Come on.

It's Mr Dalrymple.

What is a Dalrymple?

He's a person.

I know him, he can give us a ride.

Hi, Mr Dalrymple.

Hi.

We just need a ride over to the Valley is all.

Hope you get one.

I meant with you, can we get a ride with you?

Oh, me take you over, why didn't you say so?

Yes.

I'm not going that way.

Well, could you just do us a favor

and give us a ride over there is all?

Yes, of course.

I see, you two want me to give you a ride.

Yes.

I'm not going that way.

Well if you turn the car around--

Then I would be going that way.

Yes.

And since I was going that way, I could give you a ride.

That is a great idea.

Yes it is, hop in.

Well, this doesn't make any sense.

It does if you'd listen.

I heard you.

The deputy's report states that your children first

encountered the phenomenon here.

Mac told me when they first saw the light,

they went over by the river, not here.

Just what do you think this young man is?

I don't know, but he's not from here.

You think this is an extraterrestrial sighting?

Or just some wacko from down the road?

Actually, I don't care.

I just want to find my kids, and we're

not going to find them here because they're

not coming back here.

We'll give them a few more minutes.

You always get your way, don't you?

Not always.

Yeah.

Well, I find that hard to believe.

Why?

Well, you're a career woman, aren't you?

So?

So that's what successful career

women do, they get their way.

Hardly.

If you're a woman, you have to justify every single decision,

decisions men would never be questioned about.

I'm successful because I'm good at what I do.

Getting your way.

Believe what you want.

Sorry.

I'm kind of defensive around women these days, I guess.

So I gathered.

Divorce attorneys will do that to you.

I suppose.

Maybe you're right, maybe the kids will come back here.

10 more minutes, all right?

All right.

Here is the convergence.

What's the convergence?

Coming together.

Well, how?

I need something.

That thing that Mac just went to go get?

The transference facilitator.

Well, what does that do?

It is like, what you would call in your terminology,

a life preserver.

How do you know it's all the way up over there

on that mountain?

Trajectory.

It was separated when the meteor hit.

And that's how you get home?

It allows me to merge with the beam,

but I must use it for my craft.

You have a craft?

Like a ship?

A convergence released pod.

A spaceship?

Not exactly.

Well, if you came in here in a spaceship,

then how come you didn't have any clothes on?

The release pod was in danger of exploding.

The particle beam accelerator transferred me from harm.

Without clothes?

That's how it works.

Nice safety device, it saves your life

by removing your clothes.

What's the matter?

I'm losing energy.

Can't you, like, conserve it or something?

No, I must leave this soil atmosphere soon.

Not too soon, I hope.

Because you are proof.

What?

Here's the proof of what I've been recording for five years.

Mr Dalrymple, I think we have something

a little bit more important here than a picture book, OK?

No.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Don't you see?

I've been waiting for him.

The converging of subatomic particles

in a specific geographic area at predetermined intervals

indicates what?

A space time aperture.

You are a scientist?

NSD, National Security Department.

I was with Operation Green Book until its closure.

The last few years, I've taught quantum physics

at the University.

What are you talking about?

Your race is far advanced.

What you are, we once were.

You're a spy, Mr Dalrymple?

No, agent.

That's why I had to keep up the charade.

We've known for some time that this area is very active.

No one in my department would approve

my research grant though, so I had to bear the burden of proof

alone.

Which now I have.

I've called two associates, he's going back with me.

He can't stay here, he's dying.

I think not, I believe they regenerate.

That's not true, just look at him.

Doesn't matter.

Yes, it does matter.

Not to me.

Ned?

Hey!

Is that you, Ned?

Who did you think it was?

I don't know.

Becky Sue said there was two of you.

Yeah, but one left.

Right, OK.

Well, we'll get you out of here in no time.

Kind of hard to drive in those.

Got some bolt cutters?

Yeah, maybe.

Too bad you don't have the key.

You want me to drive?

Why?

Because I live here, and I know the area.

OK.

I think that was my son.

He can fly?

He couldn't this morning.

Where are they?

He has found it.

What?

It's coming.

Stand back.

Don't move, don't move.

No!

Oh, Lord.

Get help!

Get help, he's dying!

What are you doing?

I can help.

Are you crazy?

He has a skull fracture.

Mel, let me.

How did you save him?

I didn't know.

What time is it?

15:30.

We have to get him to his ship.

Like a spaceship?

Yes, he has a ship.

OK, where is your ship?

It's over there, it's not very far.

What have I done?

Mr Dalrymple, snap out of it.

Well?

What happened?

Dad, I need you to help me.

We need to get him over there now.

What?

Please, would you just do it?

What's happened, Mel?

He saved Mac, dad, but now he's dying

and I don't know how to save him.

There are no vital signs.

He's dead?

No, he's not dead.

He will be though if he doesn't get that thing that Mac found.

It can save him, he told me.

Let him touch it.

Honey.

Dad, It's OK.

Oh, subatomic transference, particle beam technology,

it does exist.

I know what to do, get him in the ship.

What are you doing?

I'm transferring him.

How can you do that?

Look, it's hard to explain, he just told me, OK?

Stand back.

I'm ready, I think.

You know now.

I know.

Will you survive the transference?

Only one way to find out.

You must go now.

Mel!

What happened?

He went home.

Hey, what are you doing?

I am so sorry about what happened.

I know, Mr Dalrymple.

It was an accident, all right?

All right.

Stupid thing to do.

You want this stuff?

Huh?

My gear, you want it?

Well, sure.

It's yours.

Thank you.

You have proof of a UFO and an alien,

you could make a fortune.

I doubt anyone would believe it.

I spent my life for this, trying to prove my theory,

trying to get revenge, my life.

It wasn't a very good trade, was it?

I guess not.

No, it wasn't.

I am truly sorry about what happened.

Yeah, I know.

It's OK, really.

No, it's not, but I appreciate your willingness

to see it that way.

Goodbye, Mac.

Bye, Mr Dalrymple.

Thank you for the stuff.

Are you OK?

Yes.

I don't even think that I believe all this,

can't very well write it up.

Why tell anybody anything?

Not report it?

Why?

What would it accomplish?

That's my job.

No, it's your choice.

Come on, Mac.

Come on, honey.

I got to stay for a little bit.

I'll walk home before dark, I promise.

Are you sure?

It's been a pretty big day already.

I'm sure, just for a little while.

I'll stay with her.

Aren't you hungry?

Save me some.

I think you're the alien.

I'll buy you dinner.

OK.

So you want to tell me?

What?

About you and him.

You've learned something from him, didn't you?

Yeah, that there's no place like home.

Besides that.

That we're the same.

That's how you did it.

Remember what Evie said?

About what?

About infants, how that they could survive

and that the adults couldn't?

Only babies.

You?

I'm like he was, only I'm here, and he's going home.

Yeah, this was probably no place like home for him.

Actually, he said that it was.

He sure did talk funny.

Yeah.
