All language subtitles for 2009.Close

I am actress Milla Jovovich,

and I will be portraying
Dr. Abigail Tyler
in The Fourth Kind.

This film is a dramatization

of events that
occurred October 1 st
through the 9th of 2000,

in the northern
Alaskan town of Nome.

To better explain
the events of the story,

the director has
included actual

archived footage
throughout the film.

This footage was acquired
from Nome psychologist
Dr. Abigail Tyler,

who has personally documented
over 65 hours
of video and audio materials

during the time
of the incidents.

To better
protect their privacy,

we have changed
the names and professions

of many of
the people involved.

Every dramatized scene
in this movie is supported

by either
archived audio, video,

or as it was related
by Dr. Tyler

during extensive interviews
with the director.

In the end,
what you believe
is yours to decide.

Please be advised
that some of what

you are about to see
is extremely disturbing.

OSUNSANMl: Just relax,
and I'll ask you questions,

and whenever,
whatever you want
to toss in there.

Okay.
You all right?

Okay.

I'm going to try

and make this
as painless
as possible.

Can you state your
name for the camera?

Dr. Abigail Emily Tyler.

Okay, where would
you like to begin?

I guess...

After what
happened with will,
my husband, I...

I went to my friend,
who is also a psychologist,
Dr...

(INAU DIBLE)

because I was
having trouble
dealing with how he...

with how it happened
and who did it.

REAL ABEL ON RECORDING:
You don't think
you might need more time?

REAL ABBEY ON RECORDING:
No, this is something...
I have to do this.

I have to remember
his face.

I need it
for myself to heal.

I have to try,
and I have to know that,
for my children,

that I did everything
that I could

to remember.
...to remember.

You know, since that night,
Ashley still can't see,

and I don't think
that she's gonna
get her sight back

if she doesn't accept
what happened.

(SIGH ING)

Well, I think you both
have the same problem,
just different symptoms.

Yeah, and I think
that it could help

if I could just remember
the face of that man,

so we could
somehow track him down
and set the record straight

and find some closure.

All right. All right.

Do you want it
on video?

Yeah.

Counseling a fellow
psychologist is like...

It's like talking to myself.

You always
say that.

ABEL: I do? Oh, my God.

All right.

I guess just try
to relax and get
yourself comfortable.

Listen to
the sound of my voice
as I count back.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Ten...

REAL ABEL:
Nine...

Eight, seven, six...

Your eyes are
getting heavier...

...and heavier.

Five, four.

They're almost closed.
They're almost closed.

Three, two

and one.

...one.

Very good, Abbey.
Very good.

Let's go back
in time...

Let's go
back in time...

...back into
the past...

...back
into the past...

...to the night
of August 2nd
of this year.

...to the night
of August 2nd
of this year.

What was
the weather
like?

Warm.
Warmer than usual,

even though it's
raining outside.

Okay, good.

Now, let's go back
to when you
were with Will,

just before the intruder
entered your room.

We're making love.

It's nice.
It's so...
It's so nice.

He's falling asleep.

Mmm.

Good.
So what happens...
What happened next?

I'm awake.
I'm wide awake,

and we're just
lying here.

What woke you up?

(SIGHS)

(GROAN ING)

(SCREAMING)

Oh, God!

Someone stabbed him
in the chest!
Oh, my God!

Blood everywhere.
There's blood
everywhere.

ABEL:
Try to see his face.
Try to see his face.

I can't see it.

My husband!

It just feels like
I can't move.
I can't see it.

It feels
like we're frozen.
I can't see it.

Abbey. Abbey,
Abbey, Abbey,
Abbey. Abbey.

It's all over me!
All over me.

Focus on my voice.
Focus on my voice.

You will be
awakened and
conscious

in five,
four, three,
two, one.

(GASPS)

Abbey. Here. Let me.

If I could just
see his face.

He was killed,
and I was right there, Abel.
I was right there.

Yeah, you know,
it's as natural
to feel guilt

as it is unnatural to
feel it was your fault.

You know that.

Yeah, okay.
Okay.

I think you might
want to consider
taking some time off.

Real time, you know?

Because it just might
help you find clarity
with what happened.

I have to
continue this study.
It meant a lot to Will,

and he would have
wanted me to continue.

Now, why did I know
you were
gonna say that?

He would have
wanted me to
try and finish it

as soon as I could.

It meant a lot to him.

OSUNSANMl: And how long
had it been
at this point

since Will had
passed away?

REAL ABBEY: Two months.

And you guys
were already
back to school,

and the kids were
already back
to school?

I had to try and
get some normality
back into life.

I didn't know
what else to do.

Is Nome a place you
can drive into or...

No, you have to
fly around.

Okay.

You can't
get there
by road.

Any messages?

No, but
Scott's waiting
in your office,

and you have
a 1:00 and a 2:00.

Thank you.

So, how was it
coming in?

It was
a little bumpy.

You'd think
as beautiful
as that sky is

that it wouldn't
be so rough.

The stuff that
really shakes us...

We seldom
ever see coming.

I know, I know.

It's a good saying.

Not every week.

Hi, Scott.
Sorry I'm late.

SCOTT: (GRU NTS)
Hey, Dr. Tyler.

I flew up
to Anchorage
this morning,

so I'm having
a bit of a slow start.

Please, sit down
and make
yourself comfortable.

How are you?

I'm all right.

Have you
been sleeping?

It's...
It's worse.

I wake up in
the middle of the night
almost every night,

and I just
lie there.

What time
does this
normally occur?

Around 2:30, 3:00
in the morning.

And there's
nothing unusual
waking you up?

No, nothing.

It's just there's...
There's one thing.

There's an owl
at my window.

An owl?

A white owl.
It was just
looking at me.

How long
was it there?

Hours.

No matter what I did,
it wouldn't fly away.

It wasn't
scared of me.

What was it doing?

Just staring at me.

(SIGH ING)

Had you ever
seen it before?

TOMMY: Yeah.

Once when I was a kid.

That was
the first time?

Uh-huh.

I guess I've
seen it a lot.

How much is a lot?

Every night this week.

Every night?

You mean
every time
you go to bed?

I think it came inside.

Was your window open?

No.

I wonder how
it got in.

I don't know,
but I remember it
looking down at me.

Over your bed?

Yeah, I think so.
I...

It's really hard
to remember.

It's almost like...
Like it didn't happen.

Like, you know,
in a dream.

Like I just dreamt it.

Can you
come see me
tomorrow?

Sure, if you think
I should, or
if it's important.

Yeah, I do.
I do think
it's important,

and it's nothing
to be alarmed at,
at all,

but there have been
some strange
coincidences here,

and I just...
I feel like I need
to try something new.

What do you mean?

You're not
the first patient
I've had

who's experienced
something like this.

REAL ABBEY:
I felt so sorry
for my baby,

and I feel responsible.

Can you just
knock it off?

Conversion disorder
is not a phenomenon

that a lot of
people understand,

and we've had to make
quite an adjustment.

OSUNSANMl:
when did Ashley
go blind?

After what
happened to will,

she just
lost her sight.

(IMITATING BIRD CALLING)

Hey, baby.

Hi, Mommy.

How was rehearsal
for the play?

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Come on.

Come on, cough it up.
What happened?

Ralph called me
a faker.

What? A faker?

He said that
I could
see before,

and now I was
just pretending.

What a jerk.

He said that
I just wanted
everybody

to feel sorry
for me
because of Daddy.

Dear Lord, thank you
for everything we have.

Please continue
to bless our family,

and please continue
to help Ashley
overcome her challenges,

and help
all of us to heal.

In Jesus' name
we pray. Amen.

ASH LEY: Amen.

Hey, what time
is the game
tomorrow?

7:00.

And who are you
playing again?

I already told you,
Browerville.

Well, I'm sorry,
sweetie.
I must have forgot.

Dad never forgot.

(SIGHS)

Yeah, and Dad's
not here anymore.

No, he's not.

Can you
accept it yet?

Okay, Ronnie,
not in front of
your sister, okay?

We'll talk
about it later.

What do you mean?

Nothing, honey.

How Dad died.

All right, Ronnie.
What is wrong with you?

You go around
helping other people
with their problems...

Stop it.
Stop it!

...but you
can't even
help yourself.

What the hell
is that supposed
to mean?

Ronnie.

Mommy?
What did...

What does he mean?

OSUNSANMl: And do you
think he, in any way,

may have
blamed you for
Will's death?

REAL ABBEY:
Yes, he did blame me,

and he said that
I couldn't help him

or Ashley or anyone,
and he was right.

WILL ON RECORDING:
A small number
continue to experience

debilitating
sleep disorders,

and this seems
to be the trend
throughout Nome,

and a cause
remains unknown.

Even during
the night months,
they can't sleep.

We've seen
over 300 people
throughout Nome

who are all exhibiting
the same symptoms.

Around 3:00 in the morning,
they are awakened
for no apparent reason,

and they wake up
apprehensive,
frightened, panicked,

as if something's
about to happen.

Whether or not
this is related...

Daddy?

...to the missing people
or disappearances...

No, my baby,

it's just a recording
of Daddy's voice.

Come over here.
I got you.
Come up on the bed.

My angel.

ABBEY: Okay, you're doing
real good, Tommy.

When I get to one,
you will be asleep,

very, very relaxed.

Four, three,

two and one.

Can you hear me?

Yes.

And when was
the last time

you had
trouble sleeping?

Last night.

And did you see the owl?

Yeah.

Good.
And what did
it look like?

REAL ABBEY ON VIDEO:
...what did it look like?

Tommy?

I...

I don't remember.

You don't remember
what the owl
looks like?

No.

No, I don't see
the owl.

I don't see
the owl now.

It's not there
anymore.

It's not
there anymore.

Did it fly away?

REAL ABBEY:
Did it fly away?

TOMMY:
No, I think it's...

No,
I think it's...

I don't really
remember it...

I don't really
remember it...

...ever
being there.

...ever
being there.

There's something
outside my door.
It's gonna open it.

(IN HALES SHARPLY)
The door's opening.

(DOOR OPENING)

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

No.

REAL ABBEY: what's wrong?

Oh, Jesus!
Tommy,
what's wrong?

No, no, no!

No, no!

No, no, no! No, no, no!
Okay, Tommy,
when I count to three,

you will awaken.

No, no, no!

...to conscious...
No!

Three!
No!

No, no! No!

Three!
No!

(REAL TOMMY SCREAMING)

Tommy,
it's not happening.

It's a memory.
This is not real.

It is real.

Did I do that?

Yeah, you did,
Tommy, but it's okay.
It's okay.

(SH USH ING)

What did you see?

Nothing.

What?

Nothing.

You said
you saw something.

No, I didn't
see anything.

I didn't
see anything.

I'm just trying
to help you.

If you want to help me,
get me out of this room.

I need to go home.
I need to go home.
I'm okay. I'm okay.

Tommy, are you
trying to convince me
or you?

Did you see
what was bothering
you at night?

Did you see the owl?

Can we
talk about this
next time?

Yeah, of course.
Sure.

Talk to me
when you need to.

Yeah. Okay.

(CALLER SCREAMING)

(GUN FIRING)

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

Call in EMTs,
Search, everybody.
I want everybody.

Transfer me
into that house.
Right now.

(PHONE RINGING)

Tommy here.

Yeah,
what's going on
in there?

I want to talk
to Abbey Tyler.

Abbey?

Abbey's not here right now,
but I can help you.

I have to
talk to her!

(SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

(PHON E RINGING)

Hello?

AUGUST: I need you down
here at Tommy's house.

August?
He's gone crazy.

He's holding
his family hostage,
and he's asking for you.

Okay, I'll be
right there.

(POLICEMEN CHATTERING)

TOMMY ON PHONE:
Bring her up here.

AUGUST:
She's here right now.

We'll walk her up
to you, okay, Tommy?
It's gonna be all right.

Just give her the phone.
Give her the phone.
I want to talk to her.

OFFICER: Both arms out.
Both arms out.
She's here.

Put her
on the phone
right now.

I'm gonna do it
right now, okay?
Is this really necessary?

I want to talk to her!
Can somebody tell
me what's going on?

Where is she?
Take it easy,
all right?

I don't see her.
Get her up here!
August, what's going on?

I need you to calm
him down and get him
thinking rationally.

He's got Sarah,
Timothy and Joe
lined up

in the kitchen with
a gun to their heads,

and he wants to talk
to you for some reason,
all right?

OFFICER: Watch your step.

Straight this way.

Tommy? Tommy, what...
What's going on here?

I'm so sorry,
but I've gotta do this.

I don't have
a choice.

It was completely
surreal to be there
in the middle of the night

with all those
police trucks.

I don't have
a choice.

No, no, no.
You have a
choice, Tommy.

We always
have a choice.

Not this time.
Please, Tommy!

Yes. Yes, you do.
You have the choice

right now
to just...
To just stop.

Just put down
the gun, Tommy.

You have it
within your power
to just stop.

Please, before
somebody gets hurt.

Tommy, look at
Sarah, Tommy.

Look at...
Look at your wife.

Look at your
children, Tommy.

It's okay.
It's okay.

You would never
let anything
happen to them.

You love them
so much.

I know what
keeps us up
at night.

And if you saw
what I saw,

you would
understand.

What did you
see, Tommy?

It doesn't matter,
because
we're not gonna

have to see it
ever again.

Just wait, Tommy.
I can help you.

Just talk to me, okay?
We'll talk
as long as you need to.

We'll get
through this, Tommy.

If anybody's got
a clear shot,
take it now.

RYAN:
Negative.

GREGORY: I don't
have a clear shot, sir.
The wife is blocking him.

And he wasn't
listening to me.

Do you know what
Zimabu Eter means?

And they were
going to kill him.

What? Wait. I can't
hear you, Tommy.
What?

Has anybody
got the shot?

Zimabu Eter!
Zimabu Eter!
Zimabu Eter!

What the hell
does that mean?

Zimabu Eter?
I don't know, Tommy.
What the hell does that mean?

Anybody got
the goddamn shot?

But I can find out.
Just give me
a little time.

I need to know now!

Just give me
a little time.

I will find out for you.
I promise.
Right now!

No, please!

You can't help me.

I love you.

(GUN FIRES)

REAL AUGUST:
Move, move!

Move, move, move!

Tommy! God damn it!

REAL AUGUST ON RECORDING:
I'm having a hard time

understanding what
happened here.

REAL ABBEY:
I know. I know.

You don't know what he saw?
REAL AUGUST: So you have
no idea what he saw?

REAL ABBEY:
He didn't tell me.
He didn't tell me.

What did
he tell you?

That what he
thought he saw
wasn't an owl.

That it was
something else.

And that's what
was keeping him
up at night?

Yeah.

So he was
under hypnosis
when he saw this?

Yeah.

And how do you
know what
he saw was real?

I don't know
that it was.

So what you're saying
is that Tommy might
have done all of this

based on something
that was imaginary.

(SIGHS)

All I know is
that he believed
what he saw,

and there was
more fear
in his eyes

than I've ever
seen in my life.

Had you not
hypnotized him,

do you think
he would have
done this?

What do you mean?

I'm just
wondering,

without this
hypnotism,

do you think
he still would have
murdered his family?

That is a ridiculous
and offensive question.

No, what's
ridiculous
and offensive

is that an
entire family is
lying in a morgue

from a murder-suicide,

and the last
meaningful contact

that the murderer
had was with you.

No, what
happened tonight

would have
manifested itself
eventually.

He was suppressing
something.

Look, in 13 years
of practice,

I've never
witnessed something
to this extent.

Abbey, why didn't
you contact us

if you suspected
he was unstable

after an admittedly
violent episode?

He was completely
coherent when
he left my office.

Now,
I had no reason
to suspect...

I called his wife
to ask her to
keep an eye on him.

And now
she's dead.

Okay, I'm not going
to sit here and listen

to how hypnosis-induced
murder caused this.

Jesus, I am
trying to find out...
This is ridiculous.

...what caused one
of the worst murders
in the history of Nome.

There's something
going on in this town
that we don't understand.

There's something
happening to people
in their sleep...

Well, I don't know
about any of that!

I don't understand
what you're
talking about!

I don't deal
in hallucinations.

I don't deal
in the visions
in the ether.

What in the hell
are you talking
about?

I'm dealing in real
flesh and blood
things,

four of whom
are lying on
slabs next door.

How dare you?
My husband was lying
on one of those slabs

and you still
haven't found his killer.

Abbey, now,
you know damn well
what happened to Will.

That case is closed.

No, you cannot
file things away

without getting to
what really happened.

Now, there are
more unsolved murders
and missing people in Nome...

Sit down.
...than any
other town in Alaska,

three years of
which have been
under your watch.

Now, what is
happening in this town
is very real,

and it must be
acknowledged.

Sit down!

You stop whatever
this governmental
study is,

this hypnosis,
whatever it is,

whatever you and
Will were after.

It's bringing
nothing but bad news to
a town that's had enough.

Now, I don't care how
important it is to you.

I don't care how hard
you've worked on it.
I don't care.

You're not gonna
use the people of Nome
for a goddamn rat study.

I felt
responsible
for...

...death,
and his family's.

And at the time,
after all that
happened,

I still
didn't know
why he did it.

All of the patients
reported seeing
the same owl,

but Tommy mentioned
that his memory of
the owl was wrong

and that he didn't
see it anymore.

It was some sort of
false recollection.

The question is,

if under hypnosis,
will the others
feel the same way?

Will they see
what he saw?

We have to proceed
with extreme caution.

What happened here
remains unexplained,
like Will.

Abel?

I heard what happened.
I just wanted to
make sure you were okay.

Hey.
You flew all
the way up here?

That's all right.
That's okay.

I'm worried
about you.

You didn't
have to.
I'm fine.

Yeah?
Yeah.

You want to talk?

I can't.
I can't cancel
my schedule.

Theresa, good morning.
Can you transcribe
this for me, please?

Do you want me to
cancel your meetings?

No, no. Thank you.

So, how you feeling?

I feel like
I just need to
start my day.

Yeah.

Maybe it's...
You think it's

time that you,
maybe,
stepped back?

Maybe consider
it a sabbatical?

I love that word.

It doesn't actually
sound like what it means,
which is "time off."

Abbey, listen,
you need to step
away for perspective,

clarity on
what's happened.

I mean, you can't
continue like this.

No, I can,
and I have to.

It's the only thing
I have within my power.

It's all
I have left,
is to continue,

to find out what's
causing all of this.

I can't...
I don't...

I don't believe that
it can be just chalked up
to coincidence,

what happened to Will,
what happened to
Tommy and his family.

I don't.

(SIGHS)

Not in this town.

Do you mind
if I stay on a bit?

Just kept an eye
on you,

since you're not
too keen on
doing it yourself?

It's all right.

(EXHALES)

So, lots to
talk about.

What happened to Tommy?

I can't discuss...

He's dead.
You should be able
to discuss everything.

It had
something...

I believe that
it had something to do
with his sleeping habits.

We're really worried,
obviously.

It's the second suicide
in a couple of months.

I understand.

We want you to
hypnotize me, too.

We need to know
if there's anything
I'm not remembering,

and I feel...

We feel like
the best thing to do
is to face it.

We've already
thought it over.

If you want to
undergo this,

we're gonna have
to go about this
very delicately.

Would it be all right
if a colleague of mine,
Dr. Campos,

came in
to observe?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

ABBEY: Five.
Deeper, deeper.
You're totally relaxed.

Four, three,
two and one.

So, when was the last time
you had trouble sleeping?

Last night.

And do you remember
seeing anything
unusual last night?

An owl.

ABBEY:
Tell me about
the owl.

REAL ABBEY:
Tell me about the owl.

It's a beige owl.

Its eyes are big,
like...

I don't know.
It doesn't look
like a normal owl.

It doesn't look
like a normal owl.

(IN HALES SHARPLY)

(BREATH ING H EAVILY)

Scott?

There is no owl.
It's not...

Honey, honey,
honey, wake up.

You hear that?
wake up.

She's not...
She's not waking up.

Someone's outside
the door.

Tell me
what you see.

Something's out there.

Can you see
who it is?

Not who, what.
I know what they are.

They come all
the time since
I was little.

What are they?

(DOORKNOB RATTLING)

(WH IMPERING)

They're gonna
open the door.

They get in without
setting off the alarm.

I armed it.
I know...
I know I did.

I thought they only come
when I think about them,

but I wasn't
thinking about
them tonight.

(GURGLING)

(GU RGLING)

Okay, Scott,
I'm gonna count to three,
and you're gonna wake up.

One, two, three!

Scott! Scott!
Scott, wake up!

(GASPS)

(REAL SCOTT COUGHING)

Here you go.
Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

It's unbelievable.

It doesn't
make any sense.

Scott, you don't
have to rush.

Whenever you're ready,
you can
tell us what you saw.

I saw them.

Who's them?

They're not
from here.

What do you mean?

I can't describe it.
I can't see
what's in my own mind.

I can't control it.

All I can see
is the owl,
but I...

I know
it's not an owl,
but I...

I remember the smell,
like a...
Like a putrid cinnamon.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

The worst part

was the voice
inside my head,
like...

'Cause they
talk to you

so you can
hear them,
but...

They also talk
inside your mind,

like you're
connected
or something.

And they take me
away to somewhere,
but I can't remember,

and I can't remember
what they do to me.

Okay, okay, Scott,
that's enough for today.

I'm so sorry.

It's gonna
be all right.

Cindy, under
the circumstances,

I'm going to
contact Sheriff August

to let him know
that we've met

and let him know
that we've had
this session.

Yeah, please do.

Okay.

Now,
I know why...
did what he did.

Why?

You'd have to
have seen it,

felt it,
what it is.

What is it?

The worst.

Of what?

That you could...
You could
ever imagine.

Come on.
Babe,
let's go home.

We're going home.

What the hell
was that?

Abel.

Hmm?

Do you believe in
abduction theories?

What do you mean,
like kidnappings?

Yeah.
No. No, not...

(EXCLAIMS) Not kidnappings,
but abduction, as in...

You don't mean
alien abductions,
do you?

Well, you know,
I think that might be
what we just heard.

When you look at
the statistics, they're
pretty impressive.

I mean,
Will was kind of into that,
and he did a little research.

You know, there are
over 11 million people

that have either
reported seeing

or know someone
who has seen U FOs
since the 1930s.

The idea of any of this
stuff being real is...
You can't...

Come on, Abel.
I mean,
when something

boasts 11 million
witnesses...

You know, that would
win any court case
in the world.

Well,
and there are
just as many

explanations
and reasons.

Weather balloons,
atmospheric effects,
optical illusions.

In this case, perhaps,
hypnocognic hallucinations.

Listen, we have to
deal with hard,
empirical evidence

and facts.
We can't...

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Abbey! Abbey.
The tape.

The tape you gave
me this morning...

Wait. Slow down.
Slow down, Theresa.

What is it?
Did you listen to it?

I don't...
I don't know
what this is.

I don't know
what's going on.

I don't want to
listen to it again.

(ABBEY ON RECORDING)

That was weird.

(HEAVY BREATHING)

(DOOR CREAKING)

(ABBEY GROANING)

(SCREAMING)

Abbey?

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(GARBLED SPEECH)

(RECORDING ENDS)

That's you?

That's not
my voice.

(BREATH ING H EAVILY)

That's not me.

OSUNSANMl:
After you heard that,
what did you, like...

How did you react?

After the initial shock,

I was in denial.

It couldn't be me,
my voice.

So, what
happened next?

I went through
what I could
hold onto.

Which were
what?

Which were the facts.

I went home to
try and recount

what happened
during
the recording.

(GLASS BREAKING)

I was sleeping
in my bed

when my door opened.

(DOOR CREAKING)

Someone or
something came
into my room.

Did it cause
that somehow?

Some kind of
allergic reaction?

How long had it
been there?

But whatever,
whoever it was,
I fought it.

(ABBEY SCREAMING)

But it was too strong,
and it took me away.

The moment
it became too real

was when I looked down
at the floorboards

and I saw scratches
leading all the way
to the door.

I put myself
back together.

I was determined
to figure out
what it was,

what came
into my room,

what it was saying,
where it took me,

and what it
did to me.

I listened to that
tape over and over

to figure out anything,

something to
explain what it was.

It wasn't Latin.

It wasn't Greek.

It wasn't any language
that I had heard before,

and I felt
it was the key

to everything
that was happening

to me, to Will,

and everyone else
in Nome.

And then I found
exactly what
I was looking for.

AWOLOWA: Hello?
ABBEY: Hello.

Is this Dr...

Awolowa Odusami.

Yes, this is he.

Hi, I was wondering,

are you familiar
with a person named
Dr. William Tyler?

No, I'm not.
I'm sorry.

Okay.

May I ask
who's speaking?

I'm...

will you tell me
your name?

(PHON E RINGING)

(EXHALES)

Hello?
AWOLOWA: Listen,

there was a man
who called me
from this number.

He called himself John.

There's no John here.

Exactly, I know.

What was he...
Why was
he calling you?

He wanted to have
a history lesson
on ancient languages.

Look, I...

That was my husband
that you talked to,

and he's been murdered.

Dr...

AWOLOWA: I'm sorry...
I'm sorry to hear that.

...he
listened to me.

Yeah.

He didn't
judge me

or try to
analyze me.

I just...
I need...

He just listened.

I need you
to hear me out.

And then
he flew over
to Nome.

I thought
it was Akkadian,
but it's not.

It's Sumerian.
I'm sure of it.

This is widely
considered
by my peers

to be the
Holy Grail of
dead languages,

but we haven't
deciphered the
entire lexicon.

(SPEAKING SYLLABLES
OF SUMERIAN WORDS)

"Our creation" is
the last two words.

I'm not sure of
the first two.

"Examine" is
the first word.

The last word is
"ruin" or "destroy."

"Our creation,"
"examine," "ruin,"
or "destroy."

Ruin, destroy who?

It's an incomplete
translation.

We can't be sure
of exactly what's
being said.

But whatever it is,
it sounds aggressive.

I'm sorry,
but none of this
is making any sense.

It's a
verbalized recording

of the Sumerian
language.

Now, we're talking about
the oldest language
in human history

for whatever reason
recorded in your room.

What was happening?
What was being done to me?

What is unsettling is
that whatever it is,

the vocals,
they don't sound...

Ordinary.
Human?

Whoa. Whoa, whoa.
Stop. Stop. Stop.

Okay? Let's not fuel
any more of these fires.

Now, there's
any number of reasons

for the distortion
in the voice.

I'm not jumping
to any conclusions,

but her voice
sounded fine.

The tape could have
been recorded over,
for one,

and part of
the old tape could
still be heard.

No, I don't
recycle tapes.

Well, maybe
this time you did.

And that still
does not explain

why that voice is
speaking a language

that predates
Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Now, I've studied
the Sumerian civilization
for most of my career,

and what I have
found is intriguing.

You can go into
any Sumerian exhibit

and see what I am
about to tell you.

Drawings of rockets
that look like Apollo
launching into the sky.

Etchings and sculptures
of men in spacesuits

and what look
like oxygen masks.

And this artwork was
created in the fourth
millennium B.C. E.,

4,000 years
before Christ
walked the Earth.

"Genesis,"
Noah's ark,
to name a few.

Both of these stories
existed in Sumer

6,000 years before
the Bible was written.

"Genesis" came from
the Sumerian
epic of creation.

Noah's ark came from
the Sumerian deluge.

The alien-god legend
has its basis,

its origins,
in Sumerian history.

You can find
everything I've described
in a museum right now.

You know,
it is one thing to
entertain wild theories,

but quite another
to invest in them.

Yes, and you're
entitled to
that reaction,

but as I said
from the beginning,
I draw no conclusions.

I'm dealing in facts.

Now, this is drawn
from thousands
of years

of data research
and collection.

How this is
put together is
open to debate.

(PHON E RINGING)

ABEL: Do you honestly
believe you were forcibly

removed
from your bedroom

by members of
an alien race?

(PHON E CONTIN U ES RINGING)

Hello?
CINDY: Abbey, can you
come over? It's Scott.

Something's wrong.
He wants you to
come over. He...

Cindy? Hold on a second.
Just take a deep breath.

Hi, Cindy.
Hey.

This is Dr. Odusami.
He's here to help.

Good morning.

Come in.

Scott?

What took you
so long?

I'm sorry.
I came as quick
as I could.

Last night was...

(SH USH ES)
Calm down.

Calm down?
Scott.

How can I?
You don't...

Scott.
Scott, I'm here,
all right?

Now, you've gotta
try and breathe for me.
You have to calm yourself,

because I cannot
help you if you're
all wound up.

I don't want to
talk about it,
but I have to.

Have to, have to,
have to...

I have to, I have to,
I have to...

Scott, why are you...

I have to.

What is this?
How did you get this?

I don't know.
I didn't know it
was there. I just...

Okay. Can we set up
the camera, please?

No, no, no, no, no.
I don't need anyone...

I don't want
this getting out.

Scott, we need
to record
what's happening.

We need to record
this session for study,

so we can find out
what's going on with you.

Okay,
I don't want
to go under.

Well,
we don't have
to do that.

Just try and relay
whatever you remember.

There's things I have
to remember, but I...

But I can't.
I can't without...

You know what?
We can put you under
a very light hypnosis.

Okay?

But if
you're worried...

I have to.
I have to remember.

I have to get
this out of my head.

It feels like it's
just dug in there

and I can't think
straight anymore.

(SH USH ING)

It's okay.
It's okay.

I have to...

I'll do it.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

(MUTTERING)

Are we ready?

Okay.

(SCOTT HYPERVENTILATING)

It's okay.
Okay?

(SH USH ING)

Relax.
Just relax.

There's a lot of
people in the room
with you now.

You're not alone.

Relax.

By the time I reach one,
you will be asleep.

Five, four,

three, two,

Mmm-hmm.

What's in
North Carolina?

Us, by tomorrow.

But I have
a game tomorrow.

(PHON E RINGING)

Pack your bags.

Hello? I don't think
she feels like talking
to you right now.

Mommy?
Yeah, baby.

What's wrong?

Nothing, sweetie.

We're just gonna
go take a little
break, okay?

It's Abel.

Tell him
I'll call him back.

She'll call you back.

He says he has
to talk to you.
I'll call you back, Abel.

He's already
on his way.

Are we gonna
see Grandma
and Grandpa?

No, baby,
Grandma and Grandpa
are gone, remember?

Yeah, they're with Daddy.

I mean Grandpa
and Grandma Lilly.

No, we're not going
to see them, either.

But why not?

Baby, I'm just
gonna sit you
down right here,

and you've gotta
let Mommy pack, okay?
Thank you.

It's 'cause
of Dad, huh?

Ronnie, I really
need you to help me
right now, okay?

Please take your
sister into her room

and help her
get ready, okay?

Thank you.

RON N IE: Mom?

ABBEY: Yeah?

What did you do?

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Hold on!

What happened
to Scott?

August, I'm sorry.

He's paralyzed
from the neck down.

Three of
the vertebrate in his neck
are completely severed!

Huh?

I don't know.
Huh?

You were there.

I can't explain it.
I can't...

Tell me
what happened.

How'd he
break his back?

I put him under,
and there
was something...

Something was
inside of him

that twisted his body,
and that...

Something was
inside of him,

and it twisted
his body?

And you have
proof of this?

It didn't record.
It was all distorted.

Abbey...

(EXHALES)

How in God's name
am I supposed
to believe this?

I know what I saw.

Yeah, what you saw?

I know what I saw.
What you saw?

Abbey, what
you're doing is
hurting people,

very obviously!

Now, my heart
goes out to you,
it really does,

what you've
been through.
I understand that,

but you leave me
no choice.

You have the right
to remain silent.

What?

Anything you say
or do can and will

be held against you
in a court of law.

ABBEY:
No, stop. Stop.

AUGUST: You have
the right
to an attorney.

August.

August, please,
don't do this.

Ryan!
Sheriff, no.

Ryan, you can't.
Please. You can't...

You can't take me
away from my children.
August, please, don't.

August. August,
I know what
this looks like.

I know what
this looks like,
but I was there.

I saw it.

You were there,
and you saw what?

What did you see?

Well, it's the kind
of thing that...

Well, you'd have
to have seen it.

No. Bullshit.

Now,
this woman is not
capable of committing

any physical harm
to any man.

AUGUST:
I don't know what
she is capable of...

She's not capable.
You know.
You know. Hey!

Just calm down
for a second
and hear me out.

I know that what's
happening here in
Nome is frightening.

I know it is.

But whatever you do,
you cannot arrest her

for something you
don't understand

just because
you're terrified.
Come on.

You're pushing it.
You're pushing it.

I mean,
I was there.
I saw it.

Now you're
gonna take her away
from her children

for something
that she did not do.

Come on.
Come on.

Let's just calm down.

Please. Please.

You will be under
24-hour supervision,

and you will not
leave these premises.

If you
touch that doorknob,
I will arrest you!

ABBEY:
I understand.
Thank you.

You're coming
with me.

Thank you.

Hey, look after your mom.
It's okay, sweetheart.

Ronnie.

This is Ryan, sir.
I'm stationed in
front of the Tyler home.

Over.

AUGUST ON RADIO:
Roger that.

REAL ABBEY:
But they said they were
questioned by Chief...

...reminded him about
the disappearances...

OSUNSANMl:
What about them?

Homicides,
missing people.

Dozens of them.

It's been happening
there since the 1960s,

and the FBI have
been dropping in
from time to time.

Would you say...

OSUNSANMl:
what did they find?

REAL ABBEY:
Nothing.
It's inconclusive.

To this day,
nothing has been solved.

what do you think
it means?

How do you
put it in
perspective?

They have
different categories

for these types
of things.

Different levels.

An encounter of
the first kind,

that's when you
see a UFO.

The second kind
is when you see
evidence of it:

crop circles,
radiation.

The third kind
is when you
make contact.

But the fourth kind,

there's nothing
more frightening
than the fourth.

You see, that one is
when they abduct you.

And I think it's all
part of the same thing.

It's all connected,

to Will,
the missing people,

to everything in Nome.

If this type of thing
was happening to Nome,

to me, I think

it's happening
to other people.

Not just there,
but all over the world,

in towns, cities.

Most of them
don't even know it.

Know they're abducted?

How could they know?

How could they remember
what they're being
forced to forget?

What the hell?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(REAL RYAN SPEAKING)

(GASPING)
Holy shit.

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

Where are they?

I don't know.

I tried to tell you...
You don't know?

I want the video
played back.

Sir, it didn't
record.

It did,
but nothing
came out.

Come on! Bullshit!

Ryan, pull yourself
together, man.

(ABBEY SOBBING)

Calm down. Mom.
What the hell happened?

They took my baby.
They took her.

Who?

They took my baby.
What is she talking about?

Someone kidnapped
Ashley.

Okay, I want
this entire house
searched.

I want everybody
inside, outside

going through these
premises top to bottom.

Ronnie, what'd you see?

Nothing.
I came in here
and she was gone.

What's going on here?
August, listen to me.

I'm listening.

A beam of light
came down,

and they took her
into the sky.

They took my little
girl up into the sky.
I saw it!

Through the
ceiling?

August, I saw it!

Through the ceiling?

Yes. They took her
through the ceiling.

What is this craziness?

What the hell
is going on here?

I couldn't stop it.

Okay. Everybody
clear this room!

I want everybody
out of here

except Ronnie
and Abbey!

Ronnie, sit down
right there, please.
Okay?

Abbey, you sit down.
Please sit down.
My baby.

Okay? Sit here.
I want to talk
to you, okay?

You just tell me.

Listen, less than
five hours after
I arrest you,

your daughter
goes missing.

I told you.

Yeah, but
that's horseshit.

We know that
that's not real.

Tell me
what happened.

You had an officer
outside my house.

Yes, we had
an officer outside.

What did he see?
He didn't see anything.

He says that the
videotape wasn't playing.
Now, just tell me.

Where is she?
Listen, Abbey!

What did he see?

Get him in here right now!
You listen to me now.

You know what's real!
I want to know what he saw.

You know what's real!
You had an officer
outside my house!

God damn it!
Where is she?

(GLASS SHATTERING)
You were supposed
to protect us!

Abbey,
where is she, God damn it?
You tell me where she is!

Where is Ashley?
Where is she?

Mom!
Can't you stop?

It's okay.
It's okay.

RON N IE:
Please, just stop!

Abbey, you haven't
been right in
the head since Will.

You just
haven't been
right in the head.

You haven't
found his killer.

What?

You still haven't
found his killer.

No,
Abbey, we have.
Yes, we have.

He's still out there.
He's still out there.

No. Listen,
I'm removing him
from your custody.

No.
Yes, I am,

and find a lawyer,
because
you've run out

of all the goodwill
I've got, okay?

ABBEY: He's not
gonna take you away.

Guys, get in here.
We're removing Ronnie
from Abbey's custody!

ABBEY: No. No,
you're not!
You will not...

RON N IE: Let go!
ABBEY: You will not.

No. No.
Let go!

No. No, no.

Let go. Let go.

No, no.
You're not
taking my boy!

You're not taking my boy!

He'll be safe!
He'll be safe!

You're not
taking my boy!

(SOBBING)

God!

My babies!

Why are you doing this?

REAL ABBEY: All I realized,
that they weren't
going to be able to find her.

That I would have
to do it on my own.

OSUNSANMl:
But you
couldn't leave.

No, that's not
what I mean.
I had to...

To find a way
to go directly to them,

directly to
the source.

ABEL:
I know what I saw,
but I...

I can't accept it.
I can't.

So please don't
ask me to,
because I can't.

I still have to
do this.

But Scott, you...

Is this the right way?

I don't know.

I don't have a choice.

Yeah.
I know you don't.

ABEL: Your eyes are
feeling heavier.

Seven, six,

five, four,

three, two

and one.

Abbey?
Yes.

Let's go back
three days,
to Tuesday,

when you were
giving dictation
in your bedroom.

Yes.
Good.

Now, what happened
after you finished
your dictation?

...remains unexplained,
and worse, unsolved,

like Will.

Are you
sleeping?

Yes.

What happened
next?

There's an owl.

The owl.

It's looking down at me.
It's looking
down at me.

Is it the same owl
your patients see?

Yes.
Yes.

Except, it's smiling.
Except, it's smiling.

I don't like it
when it smiles.

I don't like it
when it smiles.

What do you mean,
smiling?

I don't know
what I mean.

I don't know
what I mean.

I don't want to know.
I don't
want to know.

Well, it's too late
to forget what you
already know.

Tell me what you see.

It's not an owl.
It's not an owl.

So what happened
in that room?

They came,

and we were...

We were...

They abducted us.

All of us,
but brought us
back that same night.

We don't remember
where they took us

or what
they did to us.

Even with hypnosis,
it's black.

Your voice,
or its voice,

said it was God.

What do
you believe?

I believe...

It's hard,
but I believe

the things I've seen,

the presence I've felt

inside of me

is beyond anything
you can imagine.

It was

hopelessness,

so it cannot be God,

but it can...

It can pretend to be.

And what about Ashley?

What about...

And what about
your daughter?

She...

I had to recover
from that night.

It took me a couple
of days to wake up.

(DOOR OPEN ING)

ABBEY: Abel...

It's...

It's okay.
It's okay.

What is this?

Look, I have
to apologize.

I...

I'm sorry,
I really hate to
have to do this

when you're in
this condition
that you're in.

It's okay.

AUGUST: So,

well, I still have
that question for you,
Abbey.

How did Will die?

He was murdered.

No, Abbey.

Abbey, he's going
to show you something
that will upset you,

but it has to be done.

Understand?

This is the head
of a man

who used this gun.

Okay?

Yeah. It was suicide,
Abbey. It was suicide.

He took a pistol,
shot himself
in the head.

There was no intruder.

There was no knife.
Just him with his pistol
at the side of your bed.

He's not that man.
He wouldn't do that.
He wouldn't do that.

He wouldn't do that
to us. He wouldn't
do that to his family.

Tell him
he's wrong.
Tell him.

I'm a psychologist,
and I would have known...
Christ.

I would have known
if he was gonna...

ABEL: Abbey, Abbey.

You can't blame yourself

for something that was
going on in his head.

Who knows
what he'd learned,
what he didn't share,

and finally
what broke him?

AUGUST:
Now you know
the reality.

I'm gonna ask you
for the last time.
Tell me.

What happened
to Ashley?

Tell me. Abbey.

You know what happened.
You experienced it.

But we came back
and she didn't.
Abel.

Tell him.
Tell him
what happened.

Something took my daughter.

I don't know what.
I don't...
I don't know how.

I don't know what it was,
but you have to believe me.

You have to
believe me, please.

Please.

It's difficult
to go back.

ABBEY: Go back?

Back over
the line from
fiction to reality.

You can't just
stop being insane
whenever you want to.

It's the kind of
thing that stays
with you forever.

OSUNSANMl: So Will
committed suicide?

Yes.

Your credibility.
How do you expect
me or the audience

to believe
anything
you're saying,

if you actually
hallucinated

the murder
of your husband?

They weren't
hallucinations.

I just couldn't...

It can be difficult
to face the truth,

and with Will,

that's how
I dealt with it.

And no matter
what you believe,

the recordings
do not lie.

we were talking
about things that
aren't normal.

...is dead.
...back is broken.

And Ashley,
she's still gone.

These are hard facts.

They do
appear to be.

No, God damn it,
they are!

You can sit here
and speculate,

but I have to
keep hope alive.

I have to believe
in what we're doing,

my story,

that it will help.

I have to believe

that she's still
alive somewhere,

that she's safe.

I have to believe
that there's a chance

that I'm gonna
see her again,

hold her again,

hear her voice.

I just want
my little girl back.

She's all I have.

Let's stop there.

(CRYING)

Dr. Tyler,

we're done
for the night.

(INAUDIBLE)

Someone else is
interested in Nome,
as well.

Since the 1960s,
there have been

over 2,000 visits
to Nome by the FBI,

the highest in Alaska.

Second is Anchorage,

with a population
76 times
larger than Nome.

The FBI have paid them
353 visits.

In the end,
what you believe
is yours to decide.

MAN 1:
UFO Reporting Center.

MAN 2:
Yeah, I got
a doozy for you.

Okay.

Gonna put me
into the hospital,
I tell you that.

what happened?

I'm a truck driver.

I had a load
to Salt Lake City
from Banning.

I pulled over, didn't...
I got out of the truck,
kind of stretched.

I looked up
at the stars,

and I saw
these two...

There were
quite a few of them
that were kind of low,

and they were,
like, flickering.

You know,
what could
they be?

And then it occurred
to me, maybe
I'm seeing a UFO.

MAN 3: Portland Air
Traffic Control Tower
in Portland, Maine.

Yes, sir.

I guess
I have a UFO report.

what they drew,
and these four people
pretty much agree that,

actually, what they drew,
it looked
like a fedora hat...

WOMAN 1: I saw something
spectacular
in the sky last night

that I have no
explanation for.

In fact,
I'm sure as many as
50 to 100 people saw it

in different areas
last night.

I'm sure it had
as many as 20
pulsating red lights,

one white light
in the front of it.

MAN 4:
Like I said, it was
about 100 feet from me.

To me,
it looked about,
like, something...

Like I said, right...
I remember seeing it,
but after that it just...

I don't exactly
remember too much.

MAN 5: I could see
this very bright
red light,

and it would change
to kind of a blue light,

and the reflection
off the clouds.

MAN 1: Yes?

And I could also
hear this very loud
buzzing noise.

WOMAN 2: My daughter
is seven years old,

and she said it was in
the shape of a square.

She said she's
seen four red lights
in the corner

and a white one
in the middle.

MAN 6:
Okay. We had an aircraft
at 35,000 feet westbound.

They reported
sighting four objects.

Three of them
were at his altitude

and one of them
was a lot lower.

MAN 7: We observed
an unknown phenomenon
this morning,

about 1600 Zulu,

and we observed it
for about
10 to 15 minutes.

The targets
were approximately
200 miles

west of San Francisco
over the water.

They flew in what
appeared to be unison,

approximately
90 miles apart.

Their speed was
in excess of
2,000 knots.

They did
a high-speed run
for about 75 miles,

made a very
abrupt slowdown,

and then
a 180-degree turn,

and tracked back
northbound

in excess
of 2,000 knots.

WOMAN 3: It had
fire-engine red lights,

kelly green lights,
orange lights.

It would shut
all them lights down
and turn a bright white.

It was zigzagging
in and out.

It was shooting from
one side of the sky
to the other side.

It was almost as
if it was rolling.

MAN 8: After eight to
12 seconds
of this boiling,

we saw an object
come up
out of the water

and go straight
up into the air.

It was
a circular-shaped
object.

MAN 9:
To give you
a brief on it,

I was dispatched
on a UFO sighting.

When I arrived,
what I saw was
a real large craft

in the air, circular.

I would say it was
at least 25 yards wide,

or in diameter
actually,
it would be,

and it was
hovering over a house,
and it was motionless.

MAN 10:
They're real bright,
like a star,

and when it
gets closer to you,
it gets dimmer.

Then when it lands,
it goes into a big,
big orange,

kind of like
looking at the sun
or something.

MAN 1: Uh-huh.

And then when
the light goes out,

it's like you turned
down a kerosene lamp.

MAN 11:
what exactly
happened was,

it was myself
and a friend
were flying.

I'm a commercial pilot.
MAN 1: Yes.

And we saw this object,
and it wasn't
bright like a light.

It was shining like
polished aluminum,

or polished metal.
Yes.

MAN 12:
Like a point source
that was emanating

several shafts
of black light.

It was like
negative light.

There's gotta be
several hundred people
that saw it.

MAN 13:
We had an aircraft
that sighted a UFO.

The pilot reported
an object passed

approximately
one eighth of a mile
in front of the aircraft.

It was described
as being box-shaped.

WOMAN 4: And as soon as
I pulled over, this object
came straight at us,

straight to our vehicle.
It was huge.
This thing was huge.

It was black, huge.
It had these
triangle lights on it.

MAN 14: I have never
been a believer of UFOs
in my entire life,

and I just seen
a minimum of nine
this morning

with my own eyes,

and, I mean,
I am a believer.

One orange, and at least
nine of the bright,
bright moving lights.

WOMAN 5: I was
just staring at it,
stopped

in my vehicle,
and it started to move,

and it had lights
down each side of it,
like a triangle.

MAN 1: Yes?
And then,
next thing I know,

I didn't take my
eyes off the damn thing.
It was gone.

WOMAN 6: My little brother,
he's three,
he'll be four next month,

last night he started
talking to my parents,

and I just got done
talking with him.

He told my dad,
"You have to
lock the door,

"'cause the creatures
are gonna come get me,"

and he said,
"The men in the stars,"

he said,
"they're coming to get me."

They follow him.
when he goes outside,

he says,
"The star follows me.

"The star follows me."

MAN 15:
You'd have to
experience this

in order to
believe me.

I'm afraid
to walk outside.
I need help.

I don't know how
to deal with this.
It's so strange.

I'm frightened
to go to sleep.

what if they come back?
