Nice shape of the face.

She was beautifull

Like I've known you for a long time.

But the truth is, ! don't know anything about you.

The important things.

You don't have to tell me anything:

Only... [Sighs]

or if you would accept any of it.

There isn't.

I've been looking for you

for such a long time.

[chuckles]

And I've been hiding.

But somehow I believe ! don't have to hide any longer.

It has been so long.

and then last spring, he was killed.

A man confronted me at gun point.

He, um, commandeered my

ordered me to take him to Winslow, Arizona.

That's alll know.

[Fox] What about the reports?

Multiple reports that the man you were traveling with

fit exactly the description of your husband.

He-- He resembled Scott,

and when he took the car,

he took some clothes and’ a baseball cap,

and that created a resemblance.

[Fox] / think you're lying.

don't know why you are, but I believe that you are lying.

You know exactly who or what it was.

We have pieces of it here being examined.

Why in’ God's name did you help it'escape?

It was an alien.

It was an alien being,

and’ somehow it took your husband's body,

and you sit here lying to me in order to protect it?

You cannot protect it.

L will find. it.

[person] No, no, back at the hotel. Okay.

Morning, Lainie.

Don't tell me you've moved the shop outdoors.

[chuckles] Just thought I'd take a little sun.

Say, what brings you here

his time of the morning, Tom?

l have more of an interest

in the owner than the gallery,

but, uh, 1 can never quite convince

l think you've earned yourself a cup of coffee,

maybe even a Danish.

It should be ready in a minute.

Business.

Well, that's all right, you can still have a coffee.

Id Gus still complaining

about the parking situation?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

The, uh, feds over at Peagrum are on the warpath again,

on some guy they're looking for.

Well, show me the picture and tell me the name,

Hisinameis Forrester Paul! Forrester,

No, no I haven't, but if Ido him,

I'll tell him to give you a call.

Yeah, do that.

[person] All right. All right, later.

Paul.

Paul.

What?

l know who you are.

You do?

Lainie told me that you were a photographer,

but I didn't make the connection.

Now I remember.

Your pictures from Vietnam,

during the last days

as the were leaving Saic

[sighing] Oh.

Those pictures really got to me.

mean) there was a=

all mixed up in those soldiers’ faces.

My brother Wayne Was= was) in Vietnam)

there was a happiness at coming

and at the same time,

a terrible sadness

at leaving some part of him behind.

We've never really been able

to talk about it

about any of it.

[sighs]

Well, anyway,

lam a new person.

Yeah.

-Me too. -[chuckles] Mmm.

Well, later on, Mr. Photographer,

I just might let you take a portrait of the new Karen Iseley,

but right now I'm going to go outside

and I want to collect some

and then I'm going to finish

making you some breakfast.

-How do you like eggs?

-I like eggs a lot.

[telephone ringing]

Hello:

Oh, well, Mr. Forrester,

No No} I'm glad you answered the phone.

‘don't Know what I! would have said to her anyway.

What/are you talking/about? What's wrong?

and you better make it good.

l warned you I'd cut your throat if you hurt that girl.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the Federal Government and whatever it is they want you for.

[Way ne grunts]

You know... [exhales sharply]

-How's your leg? -[grunts, exhales]

Let's rest here a minute. I'll be okay.

Yeah, right.

You're a tough kid, Scott.

Jenny's going to be proud.

Thanks.

You know, if 1 had a son,

he'd be about your age now,

and he'd be like you.

don't mind telling you that.

Who's Jimmy?

Last night, you were hallucinating) a lot.

You kept calling me Jimmy.

That's crazy talk

from this bang on my head.

lt'doesn't mean anything,

Youlmentioned someone named Kim! too!

You) kept, uh, yelling at her to stay back.

I told you it was nothing.

Let's get a move on. We've got a long way to go,

and we'll never make it

-Who are you, mister?

] don't know who you are. ! don't know what we're doing out here.

Why were you’ on) your way to my mom?

Were you going there to warn) her about Us?

Yeah, about you.

Why?

about you being her son

and I was sure and I1 am sure

that this guy, Forrester,

means her no damn good.

You're wrong. You don't know my dad.

Well, then tell me.

Who came to you about me?

A friend of mine from the sheriff's department.

But he said it was the federal agents

out at Peagrum who wanted you.

Now, what do they want you for?

How much do you know about Karen's past?

Pfft, not much.

Met her after seeing one

of her starsca

Took a liking to her.

She needed a place

to, uh, be alone, to work.

I helped! her find the cabin,

elped her sell a few paintings.

That's all.

Do you know about her son, Scott?

She said that she gave him up.

Didn't press her for explanations

it's a pretty private business.

I'm Scott's father.

You're the one who adopted him?

No.

I'm Scott's father.

[scoffs]

[laughs]

That's impossible.

She doesn't know you. She never saw you before.

! told you, I look different.

This is ridiculous: You=-

You think I'm some sort of idiot

to fall for this kind of baloney?

I'm calling the police.

Lainie, please, you've got to listen to me.

Look, ! admit Karen's a bit flaky, right,

but you don't mean to stand there and tell me she had a child by a man

she doesn't even remember.

Her name isn

It's Jenny.

Jenny Hayden,

And there's more.

with why she paints those starscapes

why she lives here in Saguaro

and her fascination with Building) 11

out at the Air Force base.

l ‘don't think l\want to hear any more about this.

Lainie.

need time.

I wanted to tell Jenny about Scott in a way that wouldn't frighten her,

\ don't think ! have that choice anymore.

you'll give Mr. Fox

all the cooperation he needs

but let me remind you, this is top secret.

You'll not talk about this mission with anybody.

Not your buddies, your girlfriends

your wives or your priests.

You got that?

All right, dismissed.

Mr. Fox, uh, just a minute.

I'd like to you alone.

This is your file.

l took the liberty. ! hope you don't mind.

[chuckles]

General, I've got nothing to hide.

You've got a medic at Bethesda

who would disagree.

He's recommended! a medical! leave

under Section 5C for you.

It's nothing,

lood pressure, checkup stuff.

-He wants me to take it easy,

-It is not nothing.

You're so far over the edge,

you really believe

in all this flying saucer garbage.

pays out all this money for--

for this and for Building 11

and me and even you, General’

You think they back all

because they think I'm over the edge?

If history

us one thing, Fox

it's that the Government will throw away billions

on a wild-goose chase,

sn't make the wild goose reall

[Wayne] Jenny was always straight as they come.

! just didn't figure somebody

Alién/ spaceships;

creatures cloning her dead husband's body.

I've had! to look out for her ever since.

So you think she was just, you know, out of her mind?

Well, she'd had a shock.

Her husband died. She was drinking a’ lot:

Who knows? What would you think?

! know this is hard for you, Scott,

but you need! to know before you her.

Yeah, l!understand. Thanks for telling me.

ill fragile as an eggshell.

The sight of you is liable

to throw her off again.

She's spent'a whole lot of years trying to straighten out her mind.

Put all this stuff behind her.

[exhales]

Picture of you as a little kid,

it's about the only thing she keeps.

he paintings.

-Yeah, the paintings.

how come the government

figured it had to do

with something she'd gotten into

a protest or something.

It was during that time.

Jenny was a part of all that.

We used to fight abou it

You were in 'Nam?

Yeah.

When you were calling me Jimmy the other night,

in some other language.

figured it was Vietnam--

-Let's go.

Let's keep going. [grunts]

No’stars:

You have changed my life, Paul.

You've made me feel things

I love you.

And! you don't have to say anything, Paul:

The painting is beautiful...

How do you know my name?

Jenny Hayden?

No, it can't be.

Get away from me.

You taught me, once, how to love,

Oh.

Father and son.

You two have really found something, haven't you?

Oh, he teaches me about the little everyday things,

like music, cheeseburgers,

and why people here go so crazy

all over a field. [chuckles]

We have fun:

Maybe l'can teach him something about:

When, um, you and Scott were searching for me,

did you ever discuss what would happen if you found me?

-[inhales sharply]

Scott would be safe, ! thought.

If! could get the two of you together,

l could go home again.

And now?

Something's happening to me.

I'm becoming more human, all the time,

and that part of me iS growing stronger every day.

I'd like for us to be a family.

A friend’ in the sheriff's department

It's like Wayne's,

at an old gas station out on the edge of Route 12.

[sighs]

‘d ever him again.

Well, he's grown into a fine young man.

-Yes? -You'll be proud of him.

Is he-- Is he like you?

If you mean, "Does he have any traits that are not human,”

the answer is yes.

But they're hidden deep inside.

just like any teenager learns

and the more he learns,

the more he'll be able to control

Jenny, what is it?

l'm afraid, Paull

It has been so many years

and so much has happened.

Does he blame me?

Does’ he Understand why l gavelhim up?

I don't think I would know...

what to say to him.

You'll know what to say.

It's hard to tell the way it is,

but ! think it's Wayne's.

There's no sign of them.

Atleast we know they Weren't in) the truck when it blew up.

Well, if they're alive, they have to be around here somewhere.

Yes, that way.

The road's too windy

Believe it, General.

You know that in the next 24 hours, you're going to be commander

of the most famous military base lobe?

Yeah.

It's made of exactly the same stuff

as those pieces recovered in Wisconsin.

It's a perfect match.

We have absolutely no idea.

No resemblance to any material currently known to exist on this planet,

natural or man-made.

Jenny.

He's real, Wayne.

I'm not going to let you do this again.

You have got to believe me.

They will die in there.

After all these years,

! thought we'd finally put this behind us.

You don't know what Fox is like.

You don't know what he'll do to them.

Even if you don't believe a word I've said,

you can't turn your back on Scott.

He's just a boy,

Don't forget to check the ICS reruns.

You've been here for 14 straight hours, Mr. Fox.

you ought to get some rest?

Well) then) uh, do you mind watching this machinery

while! take a little trip down the hall?

You know, some of us have

eaker systems than others.

All right, go ahead.

Don't be forever.

Those extreme energy levels

are producing fascinating results.

[sphere whirring]

How did you get out? What are you doing in here?

Stand! back.

-Jennifer Hayden will lead you to them.

[general] Go on.

Relax yourself.

! told Jenny to meet us at the lean-to.

Why did you come back for us, Wayne?

We're not so different

after all, Forrester.

We both left children behind.

Only you came back to help yours.

You know what dust children are, Scott?

Vietnamese women during the war.

The war ended,

we all went running home

as if those kids weren't reall

but they were, damn it.

He'd be about your age now, Scott,

living on the streets of Saigon,

ae between two cultures

I've faced everything but the truth.

It's not late, is it?

ne go

There itis.

Down there. Come on, let's go.

Mom.

Mom!

I'm sorry, Scott.

What happened?

She called the gallery to tell me that the army was following her.

They picked her up outside the cabin

the moment she left to meet you.

She laughed...

with this kind of...

horrible sadness,

and said that if there was one thing

it was how to tell when the government was following her.

There was more she wanted me to tell you, much more,

andl promised her I'd get every word exactly right.

She asked me to give you this.

She said that meeting you

had taken her out of an endless night.

Scott, wait.

l want you to her.

Look into her eyes.

Tell him,

in your Own words.

Tell him.

Go on.

Tell him everything.

she had hidden from the world,

afraid to be a part of humanity,

she believed somehow

hat she had no place

among human beings any longer.

She had lost you.

Her life ended the moment she gave Scott away.

But that's changed now.

She's alive again,

and! she knows the two of youl are

until it's safe for her to join you.

-Everything's fine. -Thank you.

[hospital worker over PA] Colonel Morgan, report to ICU.

Hi. How are you feeling?

Hi. I'm fine, General. Will you get me out of here?

You! know the doctors can't figure you out!

It was exhaustion or something l\ ate.

“General, is there any sign, any word? -No, I'm sorry.

After the woman gave us the slip in Phoenix,

it's been a blank trail.

Well, don't feel bad about it.

She's very good at that.

But for what it's worth, l owe you one, Fox.

From here on, I'll run this and Building 11

with a new perspective.

What about the tests? Any data left at all?

Noy heldestroyed everything,

! had that Wayne Geffner in

hree times for questioning.

-You can file charges if you like.

-Forget it.

Forrester won't come

within 1000 miles of him again.

aste of time:

-Do you have any suggestions?

-Yeah, get me the hell out of here,

so I can get back to Washington and start over again.

! do have one thing ! didn't have before.

Forrester destroyed

National Securi

! ought to be able to get a bundle of support

from the Pentagon on that count alone.

All right, I'll arrange a plane for you tonight.

Oh, and, uh, Fox,

you\ do have one other thing, you know.

1 don't know how, but you got your health back.

Yeah.

Hey, don't throw it away again.

General, thanks.
