WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ALL ABOUT?

HEY, MIKE, YOU IN A HURRY?

¶ DON'T YOU REMEMBER THE DAY ¶

WHAT'S WITH THEM?

¶ THAT YOU WENT AWAY

MAYBE THEY'RE JUST TIRED.

¶ AND LEFT ME?

¶ I WAS SO LONELY

¶ PRAYED FOR YOU ONLY

¶ MY LOVE

SORRY, BOYS, THE KITCHEN'S CLOSED.

¶ LOVING YOU

¶ WHEN I KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT TRUE ¶

¶ AND WHY SHOULD I CALL YOUR NAME ¶

¶ WHEN YOU'RE TO BLAME... ¶

WE'RE STICKING TO THE STORY

NO MATTER HOW ROUGH IT GETS.

UNDERSTAND?

WHATEVER.

GREG?

GO AHEAD, MIKE,

MAKE THAT PHONE CALL.

WE'RE ALL WITH YOU.

GO ON.

THAT'S RIGHT, MAN.

THAT'S RIGHT. GO.

[LAUGHING]

WORKING YOUR BOYS KIND OF LATE TONIGHT,

WERE YOU, MIKE?

[COIN DROPS]

[RADIO STATIC]

THIS IS SERGEANT REYNOLDS

FROM CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS

CALLING LIEUTENANT FRANK WATTERS.

ARE YOU THERE, LIEUTENANT?

LIEUTENANT, DO YOU READ ME?

I'M HERE, SERGEANT.

I'VE CHECKED WITH SHERIFF DAVIS.

HE'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS

WHEN YOU GET TO SNOWFLAKE.

WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM?

FRANK, IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S IN OVER HIS HEAD ON THIS ONE.

I HEAR YOU.

THIS IS A POLICE INVESTIGATION.

THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU TO SEE OR TO HEAR.

EVERYBODY JUST GO HOME.

THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE.

GET IN YOUR CARS,

TAKE YOUR KIDS, TAKE YOUR FAMILIES.

GO ON HOME.

LIEUTENANT WATTERS?

I'M FRANK WATTERS.

SHERIFF BLAKE DAVIS.

I KNOW A LOT ABOUT YOU FROM THE PAPERS,

ABOUT YOU NOT HAVING ANY UNSOLVED CASES

HERE OR IN MONTANA.

NOTHING BUT A MYTH, BUT A DAMN FINE ONE.

WHY THE RADIO SILENCE ON BRINGING ME HERE?

WELL, WE GOT A SPECIAL KIND OF SITUATION HERE--

A MISSING BOY ON OUR HANDS.

TRAVIS WALTON.

ABOUT AN HOUR AGO,

MY DEPUTY TOOK A MISSING-PERSONS REPORT

FROM A FELLA NAMED ROGERS, MIKE ROGERS.

I'VE KNOWN HIM A LONG TIME.

HE'S A GOOD GUY, A STRAIGHT GUY.

HE'S BEEN RUNNING A CREW UP THE MOGOLLON RIM

NEAR TURKEY SPRINGS FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

THEY HAD A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT

TO CLEAR OUT THE BRUSH.

DENNIS. I WANT YOU TO MEET MY DEPUTY.

SHAKE HANDS WITH LIEUTENANT WATTERS.

DEPUTY CLAY.

HI, DENNIS.

IT'S AN HONOR, LIEUTENANT.

I READ ABOUT THAT WETBACK MURDER IN NOGALES.

DENNIS, TELL US WHO ELSE IS IN THAT GANG

BESIDES MIKE ROGERS.

YEAH. WE GOT DAVID WHITLOCK. 26. LOCAL BOY.

ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH.

GREG HAYES. 17.

HIGH-SCHOOL KID FROM WINSLOW.

THIS ONE'S PRETTY SHOOK UP.

ROBERT COGDILL. 20. FROM DURANGO.

JOINED THE CREW A WEEK AGO.

ALLAN DALLIS. 25. A DRIFTER.

ON THE CREW JUST OVER TWO WEEKS.

BAD APPLE IF YOU ASK ME.

HE'S GOT HELL IN HIS EYES.

FRANK, UH, I THINK THAT, UH...

I THINK THAT MAYBE, UM...

MAYBE YOU'D BETTER HEAR THIS

FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH.

LEAD ME TO THE HORSE.

DENNIS, GET THESE FOLKS OUT OF HERE.

FOLKS, GIVE THEM SOME ROOM.

RESTAURANT'S CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT.

WHAT IN HELL'S THAT THING FOR?

IT BOTHER YOU?

YEAH, IT BOTHERS ME.

I DON'T WANT ANY MISINTERPRETATIONS.

THIS WAY THERE'S A CLEAR RECORD

OF EVERYTHING YOU TELL US.

WELL, WE ALREADY TOLD

THAT BARNEY FIFE OF A DEPUTY

EVERYTHING WE KNOW.

[SHERIFF] I'LL TELL YOU, FRANK.

CLAY WROTE DOWN EVERYTHING.

WE'LL USE THE RECORDER.

A MAN WITH NOTHING TO HIDE

IS A MAN WITH NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

HAH.

YOU'RE THE LEADER, RIGHT?

YEAH.

YEAH, HE'S OUR FEARLESS LEADER.

MAYBE I SHOULD BE TALKING TO YOU INSTEAD.

OH, NO,

NO, SIR.

HE'S THE BOSS.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

TELL ME ABOUT TRAVIS WALTON.

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?

NO. ABOUT TRAVIS.

START BY TELLING ME WHO HE IS.

HE'S, UH...

HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND.

WAKE UP, DADDY!

WAKE UP!

WAKE UP!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IT'S THE TICKLE MONSTER!

OW!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DADDY JUST CRACKED HIS ELBOW.

HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD MORNING.

BREAKFAST IS READY.

WHO TOLD YOU TO WAKE ME UP?

MOMMY DID! MOMMY DID!

WHY DID SHE TELL YOU TO WAKE ME UP?

'CAUSE SHE WANTS ME TO TICKLE YOU?

TRAVIS!

YOU SON OF A BITCH, GET OFF THAT BIKE!

CATHY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NOTHING, MOM.

GET THAT THING OFF THE SIDEWALK!

OH!

HERE YOU GO. COMING IN.

YOU WANT SOME BUTTER ON THAT?

OOH. CAN I HAVE SOME FRENCH TOAST?

SURE.

I GOT SOME FOR YOU RIGHT HERE.

I GOT TO GO.

I GOT TO GET THE TRUCK RUNNING.

WAIT A SECOND.

LET ME TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND.

THE BANK'S GOING TO CALL AGAIN TODAY.

SO?

WHAT SHOULD I TELL THEM?

DO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW?

YOU KNOW WHAT? WE CAN WAIT

TILL THEY THROW US OUT OF OUR HOUSE.

HEY, MIKE!

MORNING.

[SIGHS]

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

OH, YOU AND KATIE AGAIN?

HEY, MIKE, WANT A DOUGHNUT?

MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

ABOUT TIME WE GOT YOURS

BACK ON THE ROAD, DON'T YOU THINK?

UNLESS YOU GOT SOME SECRET PLAN

TO LET IT RUST AND SELL IT FOR SCRAP?

WE'LL START TONIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I GOT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT'S THIS?

THIS IS OUR FUTURE.

MT MOTORS.

SERVING ALL OF NAVAHO COUNTY.

HARLEYS, NORTONS,

YAMAHAS, YOU NAME IT.

WE'LL DO COMMERCIALS

LIKE THE GUYS IN PHOENIX.

MT MOTORS.

OUR PRICES ARE SO GREAT,

OUR SHOWROOM'S ALWAYS ALMOST EMPTY.

GET IT?

EMPTY--M, T...

MOTORS.

EMPTY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK WE BETTER JUST CONCENTRATE

ON FINISHING THE CONTRACT.

THE FOREST SERVICE WON'T EXTEND THE DEADLINE.

MIKE, DON'T WORRY. THIS IS THE DEAL.

LOOK, TRAVIS,

MY MORTGAGE IS ON THE LINE.

I GOT TO WORRY. I GOT NO CHOICE.

WE'LL GET IT DONE, OR WE WON'T.

HEY, WHERE YOU GOING?

LOVE AWAITS ME.

LOOK IT!

UNCLE TRAVIS!

GOD, TRAVIS, CAN'T YOU USE THE DOOR?

NO!

GO--

MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

BREAKFAST IN BED.

THANK YOU.

DANA, LET'S GET MARRIED.

I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE.

TRAVIS.

DON'T ANSWER, DON'T ANSWER.

JUST...

JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

OK.

[TRUCK HOOD SLAMS]

CAN WE GET GOING, PLEASE,

BEFORE I GET SERIOUSLY SICK?

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

OK.

IT'S WHAT WE NEED--

ONE OF OUR CAMPING TRIPS.

SOME HUNTING, SOME FISHING,

CHASING BEARS.

OH, YEAH. I REMEMBER.

YOU RAN THAT BEAR UP THAT TREE.

JUST TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS.

SO, HOW COME YOU CAN'T MAKE FRIENDS WITH DALLIS?

HE'S JUST JEALOUS

I CAN DO SOMETHING HE CAN'T.

WHAT'S THAT?

READ AND WRITE.

SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

A LITTLE R AND R THEN...MT MOTORS.

YOU THINK I'D LET A FLAKE LIKE YOU

MARRY MY LITTLE SISTER?

A FLAKE FROM SNOWFLAKE. HOW POETIC. I LIKE THAT.

THAT'S JUST MY POINT.

WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

YOU'RE A DREAMER,

AND YOU'RE NOT READY FOR MARRIAGE.

NOT IF I GOT TO TURN INTO YOU, MIKE.

WE WENT BACK TO WORK,

AND WE FINISHED UP ALONG ABOUT DUSK.

THE DAY'S WORK WAS DONE,

AND THE FIVE OF YOU LEFT THE WORK SITE.

SIX. THERE WAS SIX OF US.

TRAVIS WALTON LEFT WITH YOU?

OF COURSE.

THE REST OF YOU BOYS GO ALONG WITH THAT?

YES.

HOW ABOUT YOU, MR. DALLIS?

DO YOU GO ALONG WITH THAT?

OH, YEAH, I GO ALONG WITH THAT.

YOU DON'T SOUND TOO SURE.

WELL, I'M SURE.

WHAT'S IT TO YOU?

OH, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YOU HAD

THE BIGGEST AX TO GRIND WITH TRAVIS.

WHAT WAS THAT WHOLE THING WITH THAT CHAIN SAW?

I WAS JUST HAVING SOME FUN.

THAT'S ALL.

ARE YOU GOING TO ARREST ME FOR THAT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND?

UH...

I DID IT TO MYSELF EARLIER TODAY.

JUST HAVING A LITTLE FUN?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

I WAS JUST HAVING A LITTLE FUN.

YOU OUGHT TO BE MORE CAREFUL, SON.

YEAH, WELL...

I'LL DO MY BEST, DADDY.

I BET YOU WILL.

WHY DON'T YOU FELLAS TELL

LIEUTENANT WATTERS WHAT YOU SAW

OR WHAT YOU THINK YOU SAW?

IT WAS DALLIS WHO SAW IT FIRST.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

TELL US ABOUT IT.

WHAT'D YOU SEE?

WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE?

IT LOOKED LIKE, UH...

LIKE A FIRE.

¶ I WON'T BE THE GUEST OF HONOR ¶

¶ AT YOUR PARTY TONIGHT ¶

¶ YOU CAN FIND SOMEBODY ELSE ¶

YOU AWAKE?

I'M AWAKE.

¶ ...YOUR PARTY LIGHTS

¶ AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME ¶

¶ I HOPE THEY TREAT YOU RIGHT ¶

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

¶ AT YOUR PARTY TONIGHT... ¶

THAT IS STRANGE.

WHAT IS?

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT?

LOOKS LIKE THE SUNSET TO ME.

NO, GREG. THAT'S EAST.

THE SUN SET BEHIND US 20 MINUTES AGO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS, THEN?

OH...MAYBE A FIRE

OR MAYBE A PLANE CRASH IN THE WOODS.

YEAH, A PLANE CRASH. IT COULD BE.

A CRASH, BOBBY.

HEY, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST TURN BACK.

THAT'S--THAT'S GOT TO BE A FIRE.

LOOK! IT'S MOVING.

I SAW IT.

IT ISN'T MOVING, BOBBY.

LOOK, MAN!

IS IT?

[TRAVIS] THAT'S ONE MONSTER FOREST FIRE.

[DALLIS] YEAH, FIRE, MY ASS.

THAT AIN'T NO FIRE, MAN.

WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

[STATIC ON RADIO]

WHAT THE HECK'S GOING ON HERE?

ARE YOU SCREWING AROUND?

NO.

MIKE, MAYBE WE OUGHT TO DO LIKE GREG SAYS

AND JUST PULL OVER FOR A MINUTE.

NO. I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT IS.

THERE'S ONLY ONE ROAD OUT OF HERE,

AND WE'RE ON IT.

IF THAT'S A FIRE, AND WE CAN'T GET AROUND,

WE'LL BE SPENDING THE NIGHT OUT HERE.

MIKE...

STOP! STOP THE TRUCK!

[DALLIS] THAT'S WILD.

HOLY CHRIST!

TRAVIS!

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING?

GET BACK IN THE TRUCK, ASSHOLE!

WHAT IS THAT?

WHAT IS THAT THING?

OH, MY GOD!

TRAVIS!

WHAT THE HELL'S HE DOING OUT THERE?

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

TRAVIS! GET BACK IN THE TRUCK!

GET OUT OF THERE!

WHAT IS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

HEY, MIKE!

GET OUT OF THERE!

LEAVE HIM HERE IF HE'S GOING TO BE AN ASSHOLE!

TRAVIS, GET BACK HERE!

TRAVIS!

RUN, TRAVIS! RUN!

[RUMBLING]

WHAT THE HELL'S THAT?

TRAVIS!

TRAVIS! GET OUT OF HERE!

GET BACK IN HERE!

MIKE, HE'S DEAD!

HE'S DEAD!

OH, MIKE, HE'S GONE!

I'M NOT LEAVING HIM.

HE'S DEAD!

GET OUT OF HERE. GO!

GET THE HELL OF OUT HERE!

HE'S DEAD!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME ON!

HE'S DEAD!

GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

GO!

AAH!

GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, MAN.

HE'S DEAD!

IT'S MOVING. IT'S COMING AFTER US!

IT'S GOING TO KILL US.

STAY DOWN. STAY DOWN.

EVERYBODY STAY DOWN.

SLOW DOWN, MIKE!

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?

I DON'T KNOW!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

OH, NO!

OH, MY GOD! WHAT WAS IT?

LOOK OUT, MIKE!

YOU'RE GOING TO KILL US.

IS IT FOLLOWING US?

I DON'T KNOW. I CAN'T SEE IT.

SHUT UP!

OH, LOOK OUT!

UHH! UHH!

COME ON, MAN!

GET OFF ME!

OH!

WHAT THE HELL YOU STOPPING FOR?

WE LEFT HIM THERE.

WELL, HE'S DEAD, JACKASS!

WE GOT TO GO BACK.

NO WAY!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

MAYBE WE DO GOT TO GO BACK.

NO WAY! WE GOT TO GO BACK!

WE DON'T KNOW THAT HE'S DEAD.

GET OUTTA HERE. IT'LL COME AFTER US!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I'M GOING BACK! I'M GOING BACK!

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO,

GET OUT OF THE CAR NOW. I'LL PICK YOU UP LATER.

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T COME BACK?

GET OUT.

GO, MAN.

YOU GOT TO GO.

GET OUT.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU STAY BY THE ROAD.

[BIRD SCREECHES]

SON OF A BITCH.

I, UM...

I SEARCHED THE WOODS AND...

BUT HE WASN'T...

THERE WAS NOTHING.

THEY TOOK HIM.

YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE

THAT A FLYING SAUCER CAME DOWN

AND TOOK YOUR FRIEND AWAY...

TO OUTER SPACE?

THAT'S THE TRUTH, MISTER.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

IS IT?

ACCORDING TO YOUR STORY,

YOU NEVER EVEN WENT BACK TO THE CLEARING,

SO YOU DON'T KNOW, DO YOU?

I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO BACK.

MIKE SAYS HE WASN'T THERE,

YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK.

YOU KNOW THAT, BLAKE.

WHY AREN'T YOU SPEAKING UP FOR US?

WHY ARE YOU LETTING HIM TALK TO US LIKE THIS?

DAVID, I--

IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO BELIEVE US.

WE ALL SAW THE THING.

WE ALL SAW THE GUY GET ZAPPED.

YOU SAW SOMETHING...

AT LEAST, YOU THOUGHT YOU DID.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU, SON?

ME?

WHAT DID YOU SEE?

I SAW--I SAW THE SAME...

SAME AS THEY SAW.

WELL, THAT'S QUITE A STORY.

YEAH, WELL...

I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME

TO GET OUT OF HERE.

WHAT DO YOU BOYS THINK?

YOU'RE REAL BROKEN UP ABOUT YOUR MISSING BUDDY.

OH, THAT'S VERY PERCEPTIVE.

THAT'S 'CAUSE HE'S NOT MY FRIEND.

I GOT THAT...

CLEARLY.

DID YOU?

GOOD.

NOW ARE YOU DONE?

WE'LL TELL YOU WHEN.

I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO LEAVE

TILL I GET EVERYBODY'S PHONE NUMBER

AND ADDRESS.

SHOULDN'T WE TRY TO FIND HIM?

HE'S NOT ON THE MOUNTAIN, REMEMBER?

THEY TOOK HIM.

AH, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THINK WE OUGHT TO HEAD UP THERE?

[BLAKE] IT'S TOO LATE.

NOT ENOUGH MEN.

WE'LL HEAD OUT IN THE MORNING.

WELL, DALLIS, YOU SURE CAN TALK.

I TOLD YOU

HE WOULDN'T BELIEVE YOUR STORY,

NOT A GOD DAMN WORD OF IT.

THAT TRUCK LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN TO HELL AND BACK.

WELL, THE SUN COMES UP AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING.

WE GOT FIFTY MEN, JEEPS, HORSES, DOGS.

I'LL CALL FLAGSTAFF AND GET TWO HELICOPTERS.

WILL THAT BE ENOUGH?

THAT'S PLENTY.

MY HUNCH IS TOMORROW

WE'LL FIND TRAVIS WALTON.

I'D BE SURPRISED

IF WE FOUND HIM IN ONE PIECE.

YEAH.

YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD MOTEL, SHERIFF?

YEAH. CHAPARRAL.

JUST AFTER YOU GET INSIDE OF SNOWFLAKE,

RIGHT THERE BY THE WATER TOWER.

STILL, YOU HAVE TO WONDER

HOW THOSE BOYS CAME UP WITH SUCH A CRAZY STORY.

YEAH.

BACK ON EARTH, WE'RE DEALING WITH A MURDER,

PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

GOOD NIGHT, SHERIFF.

YEAH. GOOD NIGHT, FRANK.

[RADIO PLAYS]

IT'S ALL OVER THE RADIO.

THEY'RE MAKING IT OUT

TO BE A BIG JOKE OR SOMETHING.

IT'S NO JOKE.

YOU LEFT HIM THERE?

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS, DANA.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS?

JUST WHAT I SAID.

WELL, HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE HIM OUT THERE?

THE RADIO WAS SAYING SOMETHING

ABOUT OUTER SPACE.

I DIDN'T JUST LEAVE HIM,

AND YEAH. THERE WAS SOMETHING OUT THERE, KATE.

I--I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

"OUT THERE"?

IS TRAVIS GONE?

THEY'RE GOING TO SEND OUT A SEARCH PARTY

FOR HIM TOMORROW.

WHERE IS HE, MIKE?

WHERE IS HE, MIKE?

WHERE IS HE, MIKE?

MIKE.

IT'S OK.

HE'S GOING TO BE OK.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

[SOBBING]

MY FATHER IN HEAVEN...

I HUMBLY BOW BEFORE YOU.

I ASK FOR YOUR SPIRIT TO BE WITH ME.

FORGIVE US, FATHER, FOR WHAT WE'VE DONE.

[HELICOPTER]

[YELPING]

CHECK THE ROAD THERE!

I WANT TWO-MEN TEAMS ON THAT RIDGE.

IF THAT BOY'S OUT HERE, I WANT TO FIND HIM.

YOU GOT IT?

GOT IT.

LET'S GET GOING, BOYS, AND GOD BLESS YOU.

OK.

YOU'RE CERTAIN THIS IS THE SPOT.

I MEAN, IT WAS NIGHT, BUT--BUT, YEAH.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE HE FELL.

YOU SAID THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS DEPRESSION,

THAT WE COULD SEE IT CLEARLY.

THIS IS IT, RIGHT HERE!

WHERE THE HELL WAS IT?

WAS IT OVER THERE? WAS IT OVER HERE?

WHAT ARE WE DOING, PLAYING GAMES?

I'M NOT SURE.

I SEE.

HEY, ED, CHECK THERE!

ALL RIGHT!

HE DOESN'T BELIEVE US.

WHERE'S MY BROTHER, MIKE?

WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO WITH HIM?

DAN, TAKE IT EASY.

BACK OFF, WHITLOCK!

HEY, WE'RE GOING TO FIND HIM, DAN.

WHICH ONE OF YOU IS ALLAN DALLIS?

HE'S NOT HERE.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

I DID SOME CHECKING.

YOUR HIRED HAND'S

GOT HIMSELF A NICE LITTLE CRIMINAL RECORD--

ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.

LISTEN, MIKE,

IF ANYTHING'S HAPPENED TO MY BABY BRO,

I'M HOLDING YOU PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE.

YOU GOT THAT?

UH, YEAH.

[DOGS BARKING]

GIVE ME A BREAK.

I CAME UP HERE TO EARN MONEY.

NOW I MIGHT GO TO PRISON.

MAYBE IT'S GOD'S WAY OF PUNISHING US.

SPARE ME THE GOD TALK.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE,

YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.

WE ALL DO. WE GOT NO EXCUSES.

WHAT?

WHAT IS THAT?

APACHE RESERVATION STARTS RIGHT UP THERE.

RIGHT THERE.

HEY, WE GOT SOMETHING OVER HERE!

OVER HERE THEY THINK THERE'S SOMETHING.

[YELPING]

DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?

DID YOU FIND ANYTHING YET?

I DON'T KNOW.

WONDER WHAT THEY'LL FIND IN THERE.

YOU GOT ANY IDEAS, MIKE?

THERE'S SOMETHING HERE, SHERIFF.

IS IT WALTON?

IT'S HIM. I KNEW IT.

THEY KILLED HIM.

WHAT IS IT?

QUIT DIGGING.

IT AIN'T HUMAN, FRANK.

SOME HUNTER BURIED HIS DOG.

AW!

I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIM.

DANA'S STAYING OVER AT THE WALTON'S HOUSE.

SOME GUY FROM THE A.L.I. CALLED TODAY.

THEY'RE TAKING YOU OFF THE CONTRACT

AND HIRED A WHOLE NEW CREW.

YOU DON'T SEEM TOO SURPRISED.

I'M NOT.

WELL, WHY AREN'T YOU?

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO

FOR A PAYCHECK NEXT WEEK?

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT, ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T GET THIS.

MY BEST FRIEND HAS DISAPPEARED.

GOD KNOWS WHERE HE IS,

AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS MONEY.

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN

ARE SAYING TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT YOU.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY THINK.

I DO. WE LIVE HERE! OUR KIDS LIVE HERE!

OF COURSE I CARE, AND SO SHOULD YOU!

MOMMY.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.

YOU KNOW WHAT? LISTEN.

GO BACK TO BED.

I PROMISE I'LL READ YOU THAT STORY.

I PROMISE. OK?

OK. DON'T LET THOSE BEDBUGS BITE.

WHAT'S SHE GOING TO SAY, HUH,

WHEN EVERYBODY SAYS HER FATHER'S A LIAR OR A...

GO ON. SAY IT.

A LIAR OR A MURDERER.

INCLUDING YOU?

ARE YOU SAYING THAT, KATE?

NO.

NO.

OF COURSE NOT.

I JUST, MICHAEL--

I JUST WANT YOU TO TELL ME

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED UP THERE.

I--I TOLD YOU WHAT HAPPENED.

I TOLD YOU ALL I KNOW.

YOU BELIEVE ME, DON'T YOU, KATE?

YOU DO BELIEVE ME?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO? YES, THIS IS PILOT 5-1-0-9-8.

WHAT IS IT?

YOU KNOW, MIKE, THE WORD'S OUT.

WELL, WHAT WORD WOULD THAT BE, TOM?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S JUST I BEEN GETTING CALLS ALL DAY

FROM HERE TO TIMBUKTU.

AS OF TOMORROW, I'M ALL BOOKED UP.

WELL, WHO'S CALLING?

REPORTERS, SIGHTSEERS,

UFO BUFFS, AND THE LIKE.

HEY, MIKE...

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE?

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET, TOM?

YOU BET.

DON'T TELL ANYONE I'M HERE.

MR. ROGERS.

MR. ROGERS.

I FEEL LIKE ASKING YOU

IF IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, RAY MELENDEZ, ACTION NEWS, PHOENIX.

HOW ARE YOU?

LOOK, I JUST WOKE UP.

THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

I JUST NEED TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I GOT NOTHING TO SAY.

I FIGURED YOU'D WANT TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

WHAT WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEING SAID

ABOUT YOU AND ALL. YOU KNOW, IT'S--

WELL, YOU FIGURED WRONG.

IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

JUST TALK TO THE PEOPLE.

LET THEM KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

WHAT DO YOU SAY? COME ON.

COME HERE, GUYS. I THINK IT'S HIM.

IS THAT HIM?

I THINK SO.

EXCUSE ME, MR. ROGERS, MR. WHITLOCK.

I'M JARVIS POWELL FROM A.F.A.R.

WE, UH, HAVE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THESE MATTERS.

I THINK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT.

AHEM.

WELL, UH, WE JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW

THERE ARE THOSE OF US OUT THERE WHO KNOW THE TRUTH.

GO ON.

PLEASE GIVE US A CALL IF WE CAN BE OF SERVICE.

LET'S GO.

ANYTIME.

HOW MUCH I OWE YOU, EARL?

$3.00.

BETTY.

THESE BOYS KNOW MORE THAN THEY'RE TELLING.

WHAT THE HECK'S THAT LOWLIFE

BUCK MORTON STARING AT?

HE KEEPS LOOKING OVER HERE.

MIKE, THIS TOWN'S GONE NUTS.

EVERYTHING'S CRAZY.

YEAH. NOW THAT WE'RE TV NEWS.

THEY'RE GOING UP TO LOOK FOR TRAVIS AGAIN.

THEY WON'T FIND ANYTHING.

WATTERS COME BY. AT 6 A.M.,

HE STARTS ASKING ALL THESE QUESTIONS.

HE'S ALL OVER US, MAN.

HE SAID IF WE COOPERATED--

COME ON. IF WE CONFESS.

CONFESS?

YEAH. IF WE CONFESS,

HE'S GOING TO TRY TO HELP US OUT.

HELP US?

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON AROUND HERE?

YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO ME?

GO SIT DOWN, BUCK.

HOT FOOD COMING THROUGH.

YOU BOYS WANT TO REMEDY THIS,

WE CAN STEP OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, YOU FAT PIECE OF SHIT.

YOU LITTLE SON OF A BITCH.

GET OFF OF ME! GET OFF!

CALM DOWN.

SON OF A BITCH.

BACK AWAY FROM THERE

AND LET MISS IDA THROUGH WITH THAT FOOD.

GOD ALMIGHTY.

GET OVER THERE AND DRINK THAT COFFEE

BEFORE IT GETS COLD.

HOW ARE YOU BOYS TODAY?

ANYTHING, MIKE?

[BLAKE] HOW'S MY BOY?

NO. THANKS, IDA.

SIT DOWN, DAVID. SIT DOWN.

COOL DOWN, FELLAS.

LISTEN, FELLAS, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW

THAT THERE'S NOT A DAMN THING PERSONAL IN THIS.

NOW, WHERE'S YOUR FRIEND?

WHICH ONE?

COME ON, MIKE.

THE ONE WITH THE ATTITUDE.

IF YOU MEAN DALLIS, I DON'T KNOW.

WE GOT A PROPOSITION FOR Y'ALL.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST.

IF YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH,

IT'LL SURE STRENGTHEN YOUR CAUSE.

WE'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

I GOT A GOOD MAN RIGHT HERE IN THE STATE.

TAKE IT TODAY, TOMORROW, ANYTIME Y'ALL FEEL LIKE IT.

I SAID WE'LL THINK ABOUT IT!

WHY DON'T WE HAVE A LITTLE TALK, MIKE,

HUH...OUTSIDE?

YOUNG GREG TOLD US THE TRUTH

ABOUT THE CUT ON DALLIS' HAND.

IT WASN'T A PAPER CUT, WAS IT?

HE HAD AN ALTERCATION WITH TRAVIS

ON THE DAY OF THE DISAPPEARANCE, TRUE?

I GUESS.

AND I THINK YOU'RE STARTING TO GET

A PRETTY GOOD FEEL FOR WHO I AM.

I'VE BEEN AT THIS LINE OF WORK

FOR A LONG TIME.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S STARTING TO BUG ME?

I THINK MAYBE YOU DIDN'T KILL YOUR FRIEND.

BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME,

I CAN'T FIGURE WHY YOU'RE COVERING UP.

WHAT THE HECK'S HE WANT?

I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S GO.

WHERE WE GOING?

TO FIND DALLIS.

DALLIS? I THOUGHT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

I LIED.

ALL RIGHT, I'M--I'M GOING TO RAISE YOU 2.

I'M GOING TO RAISE YOU.

CAN'T YOU SPEAK AMERICAN, PLEASE?

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

WELL?

I HEARD WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING

IN THAT STUPID LITTLE MORMON TOWN OF YOURS.

I TOLD YOU CHUCKLEHEADS

THAT STORY WAS NEVER GOING TO WORK, DIDN'T I?

THEY TOOK AWAY OUR LOGGING CONTRACT, DALLIS.

DO YOU KNOW THAT?

THAT FIGURES.

THEY'RE A BUNCH OF CHICKEN-SHIT ASSHOLES.

SPEAKING OF CHICKEN SHIT,

WHERE YOU BEEN?

I'VE BEEN AROUND.

YOU KNEW WHERE TO FIND ME, DIDN'T YOU, MIKE?

DAVIS AND WATTERS ARE LOOKING FOR YOU.

THEY KNOW ABOUT YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD,

THAT YOU LIED ABOUT HOW YOU HURT YOUR HAND.

YOU'RE JUST FULL OF INFORMATION.

IT DON'T MAKE US LOOK GOOD WHEN YOU--

IT DON'T?

THAT'S TOO DAMN BAD, AIN'T IT?

NO, IT DON'T! IT DON'T!

THEY WANT US TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK.

I THINK THOSE DEVICES ARE VERY DANGEROUS, MAN.

THAT MACHINE SAYS YOU LIED,

IT DON'T MATTER IF YOU TOLD THE TRUTH,

YOU LIED!

IT MIGHT CLEAR US, THOUGH.

OH, IT MIGHT CLEAR YOU.

YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T NEED A--A BODY

TO PRESS MURDER CHARGES, DID YOU KNOW THAT?

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

AND THEY AIN'T NEVER GOING TO FIND TRAVIS,

WE KNOW THAT, RIGHT?

THE PRESSURE'S ON DAVIS AND WATTERS

TO SOLVE THE CASE.

WHO DO YOU THINK THEY'LL ZERO IN ON?

WHAT, YOU, CHOIRBOY, HUH?

GOD WILL SEND A SWARM OF LOCUST DOWN ON THEM.

YOU, MR. PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY?

NO. I DON'T THINK SO.

NO, THE QUESTION IS HOW LONG

BEFORE YOU BOYS DECIDE TO SAVE YOUR WHITE ASSES

AND POINT THE FINGER AT ME?

THAT'S A LOAD OF CRUD.

NO! THAT'S EXACTLY THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE!

IF WE DECIDE

TO TAKE THIS LIE DETECTOR TEST...

WE ALL TAKE IT.

DON'T YOU POINT YOUR FINGER AT ME.

ALL RIGHT, MIKE! COME ON!

ALL RIGHT!

ALL RIGHT!

ALL RIGHT.

STOP.

ALL RIGHT, DALLIS.

YOU JUST BE THERE.

THAT WAS NICE. THAT FELT GOOD.

JUST BE THERE.

BE THERE.

THE STORY HAS DRAWN INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION,

AND THE CONTROVERSY

SURROUNDING WALTON'S DISAPPEARANCE

HAS REACHED THE BOILING POINT.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS.

I'M GOING DOWN THERE.

IN THE FOUR DAYS WALTON'S BEEN MISSING...

SURE YOU WANT TO DO THAT?

HAVE DESCENDED ON SLEEPY SNOWFLAKE,

AND THE LOCALS AREN'T PLEASED.

RAY MELENDEZ HAS MORE.

THE WHITE MOUNTAINS--

APACHE LEGEND TELLS OF EVIL SPIRITS

WHICH FREQUENTED THIS PLACE,

DROPPING DOWN FROM THE SKY TO KIDNAP CHILDREN.

THE FIVE MEN IN QUESTION

STILL HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO THE PRESS.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES ARE DESPERATELY TRYING

TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS MYSTERY.

IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS NOW

SINCE TRAVIS WALTON DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE,

AND THE CASE IS ATTRACTING MAJOR INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION.

LAW CAN'T GET THEM TO TALK.

I KNOW SOME FOLKS THAT DAMN WELL CAN.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

IN THIS LOCAL MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY,

THE OVERRIDING QUESTION REMAINS--

WHAT REALLY DID HAPPEN THAT NIGHT,

AND WHERE IS TRAVIS WALTON?

A CONCERNED TOWN HAS CALLED A MEETING TONIGHT

AT THEIR CHURCH TO DISCUSS THESE VERY QUESTIONS.

THOUGH THEY WON'T COMMENT PUBLICLY,

HOMICIDE IS A WORD THAT IS HEARD ON THE LIPS

OF LOCAL INVESTIGATORS.

RAY MELENDEZ, ACTION NEWS.

THANKS, RAY.

IN OTHER NEWS, THE STOCK--

SHERIFF, WE'VE BEEN COMBING THOSE WOODS FOR DAYS NOW.

THE TOWN'S GETTING A BAD NAME.

MY KIDS ARE SCARED

FROM ALL THIS SILLY UFO NONSENSE--

ALL THESE STRANGERS WANDERING AROUND ASKING QUESTIONS.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

MA'AM, EVERYBODY'S AWFUL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS.

NOBODY'S MORE CONCERNED THAN ME AND MY MEN.

THEY'RE WORKING 24 HOURS A DAY

ON THIS MATTER.

WE WANT TO GET BACK TO NORMAL IN THIS TOWN,

IF WE CAN.

ONE THING I WANT YOU TO KNOW

WE'VE ASKED THOSE YOUNG MEN

TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST,

AND THEY FLATLY REFUSED.

WHAT GOOD'S THAT GOING TO DO, ANYHOW?

IF THERE'S BEEN FOUL PLAY,

WE NEED TO KNOW NOW THAT OUR TOWN'S SAFE TO LIVE IN.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU MADE ANY ARRESTS?

COME ON, NATE, THINK IT THROUGH.

THERE'S NOT ONE SCINTILLA OF EVIDENCE

THAT A CRIME'S EVEN BEEN COMMITTED.

EVERYBODY'S GOT A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHAT HAPPENED.

HEY, HOLD IT. YOU JUST... HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TRYING TO SAY?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, GEORGE?

ARE YOU SAYING I KILLED TRAVIS WALTON?

YOU REALLY DISAPPOINT ME.

I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH YOU, NATE.

MY MARY, SHE'S AT SCHOOL WITH YOUR KIDS.

JACK,

LARRY,

MRS. PRATT...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I MISS TRAVIS...

JUST LIKE YOU.

I--I MISS HIM BAD,

BUT I--I CAN'T HELP WHAT HAPPENED.

I--I CAN'T CHANGE WHAT I SAW.

I WISH I COULD.

I WISH--I WISH WE HAD HIM BACK.

I--I WISH I KNEW--

I WISH I KNEW HE WAS OK,

BUT THAT'S OUT OF MY HANDS

AND SO IS WHAT YOU THINK OF ME.

WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU THE TRUTH

SINCE THE BEGINNING.

AND NOW WE'RE READY TO PROVE IT.

WE'LL TAKE YOUR DAMN LIE DETECTOR TEST.

YOU SET IT UP. WE'LL BE THERE. YOU GO AHEAD,

AND IF ANY OF YOU GOT ANYTHING TO SAY

ABOUT ME OR MY CREW,

YOU SAY IT NOW,

AND YOU SAY IT TO MY FACE.

THERE THEY ARE.

THAT'S THEM.

MIKE, WHOSE IDEA WAS THE LIE DETECTOR TEST?

DID YOU KILL TRAVIS?

DID YOU REALLY SEE ALIENS UP THERE?

DID YOU KILL TRAVIS WALTON?

GIVE HIM SOME ROOM.

GIVE HIM SOME ROOM.

BACK OFF! BACK OFF!

YOU WERE TOLD TO BE HERE AT 9:00.

YEAH, WELL, WE WEREN'T.

FELLAS, MEET CY GILSON.

HE CAME FROM PHOENIX

TO BE SURE YOU GET A GOOD TEST.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT?

I GUARANTEE IT.

WORDS ARE CHEAP.

HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE FAIR?

I GIVE MY WORD.

WE CAN'T TRUST ANYONE, MAN.

EVERYTHING WE SAY HAS BEEN TWISTED ALL TO HELL.

THIS WHOLE TOWN WANTS TO SEE US FALL.

BLAKE, YOU KNOW THAT.

I DON'T CARE

WHETHER YOU PASS OR NOT.

IF YOU'RE LYING, MY MACHINE'LL SHOW IT.

IF YOU'RE CLEAN, IT'LL SHOW THAT.

HOW DO WE KNOW YOU AIN'T BEEN BOUGHT OFF

TO MAKE US LOOK BAD?

CY GILSON'S THE BEST THERE IS.

YOU'RE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM.

WELL, IF YOU SAY SO, IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

THE POINT IS, YOU CAN TRUST HIM.

WELL, I TRUST YOU, BLAKE.

WILL YOU GIVE US YOUR WORD

THIS TEST WILL BE FAIR?

THAT'S EASY.

YOU GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT.

IS YOUR NAME GREGORY THOMAS HAYES?

YES.

WERE YOU BORN IN CORONA, NEW MEXICO?

YES.

ARE YOU CURRENTLY SINGLE?

YES.

IS MY SHIRT WHITE?

FACE AROUND FRONT.

SOME OF IT'S WHITE.

YES OR NO?

NO.

FIVE DAYS AGO ABOUT SUNDOWN ON RIM ROAD,

DID YOU SEE AN UNIDENTIFIED LIGHT

JUST ABOVE THE TREE LINE?

YES.

DID YOU SEE AN OBJECT

HOVERING ABOVE THE CLEARING?

YES.

WAS IT SAUCER-SHAPED?

SORT OF.

I DON'T-- I DON'T--

I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING EXACTLY

LIKE IT BEFORE.

YES OR NO?

I'D HAVE TO SAY NO.

DID YOU SEE TRAVIS WALTON APPROACH THE OBJECT

ON FOOT?

YEAH.

YEAH, I DID.

DID YOU SEE A BOLT OF BLUE-GREEN LIGHT

ENVELOPE TRAVIS WALTON?

YEAH. MAN. I TOLD THEM

IT EXPLODED ALL AROUND HIM.

DID YOU BELIEVE TRAVIS WAS KILLED

BY THE RAY OF LIGHT?

NOW, HOW DO I KNOW?

I JUST KNOW THAT I DIDN'T KILL HIM.

DID YOU PERSONALLY DISLIKE TRAVIS WALTON?

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?

HUH?

A SIMPLE YES OR NO WILL DO.

YES...

AND NO.

HAVE YOU WITHHELD ANY PERTINENT INFORMATION

REGARDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TRAVIS WALTON?

NO.

DID YOU CREATE THIS INCIDENT

TO GET OUT OF YOUR LOGGING CONTRACT?

NO.

DID YOU OR ANY OF YOUR CREW

MURDER TRAVIS WALTON?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

¶ BAH BAH BUM BUM

¶ BAM

[DOOR OPENS]

WELL, WHAT'S THE WORD?

WELL, THE RESULTS

OF ONE OF THE TESTS WAS UNUSUAL.

IT'S INCONCLUSIVE.

WE'LL HAVE TO TRY AGAIN TOMORROW.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER ONES?

WHAT'S THE WORD ON THEM?

THE PROCESS IS STILL ONGOING.

WE NEVER DISCUSS THE RESULTS

TILL ALL THE TESTING IS COMPLETE.

SORRY, FELLAS.

COME BACK DOWN IN THE MORNING,

9:00 SHARP.

NO.

WHAT?

I SAID NO.

LOOK, WE DID WHAT WE SAID WE'D DO.

WE--WE CAME IN HERE LIKE GUINEA PIGS

AND LET YOU TEST US, BUT WE'VE HAD ENOUGH.

I AIN'T COMING BACK.

YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE NO LONGER

WILLING TO COOPERATE.

IT'S ALL WE DO IS COOPERATE,

AND ALL WE GET BACK IS GRIEF.

MIKE, WE NEED TIME.

NO, FRANK, I'M SICK OF THIS SHIT!

YOU WANT TO PRESS CHARGES,

YOU GO AHEAD. YOU DO IT NOW.

WE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING WE KNOW.

IF THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH,

THAT'S TOO DAMN BAD,

'CAUSE THAT'S ALL THERE IS.

LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

WELL, DALLIS' CHART WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

HE MUST'VE BEEN KEYED UP OR SCARED.

IT'S UNREADABLE-- COMPLETELY UNREADABLE.

AS FOR THE OTHER FOUR, SEE FOR YOURSELF.

THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, SON?

WELL, BLAKE, MY CHARTS DON'T LIE.

IF YOU ASK ME,

THOSE BOYS ARE TELLING THE TRUTH.

[THUNDER]

[THUNDER]

[DOOR OPENS]

DO YOU PLAN ON SPENDING THE NIGHT?

YEAH, I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT.

WHY? IS THAT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM?

NO. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

HELLO?

WHOEVER'S DOING THIS, IT'S NOT FUNNY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

ANOTHER CRANK CALL.

WE'VE BEEN GETTING TWO AND THREE IN THE DAY.

NOW WE'RE GETTING THEM ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT.

[RING]

NOW LET ME GET THAT.

[RING]

[RING]

YEAH. WHO IS THIS?

I HAVE A COLLECT CALL FROM TRAVIS WALTON.

WILL YOU ACCEPT THE CHARGES?

JUST HANG UP THE PHONE.

I'LL ACCEPT IT.

GO AHEAD, SIR.

[HOARSE VOICE] MIKE.

TRAVIS?

HELP ME.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH HEBER.

I DON'T REMEMBER ANY PHONE BOOTH.

HE SAID HE WAS CALLING FROM A GAS STATION.

ARE YOU SURE IT WAS HIM?

WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE?

MIKE, I THINK THIS MIGHT BE SOMEONE'S IDEA

OF A SICK JOKE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

THERE'S A GAS STATION

NORTH OF HERE.

I DON'T THINK SO, MIKE.

WELL, I KNOW SO.

WELL, YOU WERE RIGHT

ABOUT THE GAS STATION AT LEAST.

I KNOW THAT WAS TRAVIS.

IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE HIM.

STOP. WAIT. WHAT IS THAT?

RIGHT THERE. PULL OVER, MIKE. PULL OVER!

DAVID, GRAB THAT FLASHLIGHT.

GOT IT.

TRAVIS?

IT'S HIM. TRAVIS!

TRAVIS, ARE YOU OK?

AAH!

AAH!

TRAVIS?

TRAVIS.

TRAVIS, IT'S US.

HEY, MAN.

TRAVIS, WHAT'S WRONG?

HEY, TRAVIS, IT'S MIKE.

HEY, IT'S YOUR PARTNER. YOU REMEMBER ME?

TRAVIS, YOUR PARTNER-- MT MOTORS.

HARLEYS.

YOU COLD, MAN?

TAKE IT EASY, BRO.

TAKE IT EASY.

DON'T TRY TO TALK.

TRAVIS.

WATER! WATER!

SOMEBODY GET HIM SOME WATER.

I GOT IT.

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT, TRAVIS.

HEY, DANA'S RIGHT HERE.

TRAVIS.

TRAVIS?

AAH!

TRAVIS.

AAH!

THIS MUST BE THEM.

THEY'RE HERE.

MIKE.

MIKE.

FIVE DAYS, MAN.

IT'S BEEN FIVE DAYS.

TRAVIS, EVERYBODY'S BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.

COME ON. HURRY UP.

I THINK A LOT OF PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE FOUND THIS PLACE.

WHERE IS HE?

WE'RE GOING TO NEED A URINE SAMPLE.

A URINE SAMPLE?

MIKE, DON'T LET THEM TOUCH HIM.

BACK OFF.

HEY, HEY. IT'S A WISE THING YOU CALLED.

THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL TIME.

COME ON IN. GET SOME PICTURES HERE.

MR. WALTON?

MR. WALTON, MY NAME IS JARVIS POWELL.

NOW, CAN YOU TELL US

HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN BACK?

HERE. GET THIS THING SIGNED.

LET'S GET HIM TO A HOSPITAL.

SHH! QUIET, PLEASE.

MR. WALTON.

MR. WALTON.

MR. WALTON.

MR. WALTON, DID YOU MAKE CONTACT

WITH ALIENS?

WERE YOU TAKEN TO ANOTHER PLANET,

TO A MOTHER SHIP?

HOW DID THEY COMMUNICATE WITH YOU?

STOP IT. JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE.

OK, LOOK,

YOU'VE GOT TWO CHOICES.

YOU CAN EITHER BE QUIET

OR STEP OUTSIDE.

DAVID, GIVE THIS GUY A CHANCE.

MR. WALTON, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE?

CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY OF THEM THERE WERE?

WERE YOU GIVEN FOOD? INJECTIONS?

THAT'S ENOUGH, MISTER.

MIKE!

IT'S IMPORTANT THE ENTIRE WORLD LEARNS

OF YOUR EXPERIENCE.

LOOK, I'M ASKING YOU,

JUST LET US DO OUR JOB.

NO! HE'S NOT ANSWERING, MAN.

YOU CAN'T COME

BETWEEN ME AND MY BROTHER!

GET OUT OF HERE.

HE'S SAYING SOMETHING.

NO! NO!

HE'S SAYING SOMETHING!

[SHOUTING]

[SIREN]

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. READY?

YEAH. LIFT.

OK, LET'S GO, GUYS.

THE DOCTOR'S DOWN IN ICU. WE'LL PAGE HIM.

HANG IN THERE, PAL. YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

HE'S ROLLING THE EYES A LITTLE BIT. WATCH HIM.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OK.

WONDER WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS ONE.

OK, WATCH THE CORNER.

ORDERLY, PREP TWO.

LAB TECH'S ON THE WAY.

SECURE IT.

DID HE LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS?

NO, HE DIDN'T.

RESPIRATION IS NORMAL.

PULSE?

ARE YOU OK?

HEY, CAN YOU TALK TO ME?

[HEART MONITOR BEEPS]

HEY, MAN, HOW YOU DOING?

HEY, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN HERE.

YOUR MA'S OUT FRONT.

SHE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.

BUT THEY SAID

WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE COMING IN HERE.

GUESS THEY DON'T THINK YOU'RE READY

TO SEE VISITORS YET.

BOY, WAS I GLAD YOU SHOWED UP.

I REALLY MISSED YOU, BUDDY.

THEY HAD A SEARCH PARTY OUT FOR YOU FOR DAYS.

THEY THOUGHT--

THEY THOUGHT THAT WE HAD KILLED YOU, MAN.

THEY WERE READY TO LYNCH US.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

THESE JERKS ACTUALLY THOUGHT WE KILLED YOU.

KATE AND I AREN'T DOING SO GOOD,

NOT THAT WE WERE EVER DOING THAT GREAT.

BUT I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT.

BUT DANA, SHE SURE LOVES YOU.

SHE'S BEEN A BASKET CASE.

I WAS PRETTY BROKEN UP, TOO.

WHEN I CAME BACK UP THERE

AND YOU WERE GONE,

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW AWFUL I FELT.

WHAT?

WHEN YOU CAME BACK?

TRAVIS, WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD.

I MEAN, IT BLASTED YOU WITH THE LIGHT,

AND THEN THE GUYS, THEY GOT ALL SCARED,

AND THEY STARTED HOLLERING AND EVERYTHING.

YOU LEFT ME THERE?

WELL, COME ON, TRAVIS.

I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?

I CAME RIGHT BACK FOR YOU.

YOU SON OF A BITCH.

IF YOU HADN'T GOTTEN OUT OF THE TRUCK,

NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED.

NO ONE IS ALLOWED IN HERE.

YEAH. I WAS JUST LEAVING.

YOU KNOW, TRAVIS, I BELIEVE YOU.

MAYBE ONE DAY

WE'LL HAVE A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION--

JUST YOU AND ME.

THANKS, DR. CAYLE.

I REALLY MEAN IT, TRAVIS.

IF YOU NEED ME, PLEASE CALL.

YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND ME HERE.

REMEMBER THAT. GOOD LUCK.

BYE.

BYE.

LOOK, HERE HE COMES!

MR. WALTON, PLEASE GIVE ME A STATEMENT

ABOUT YOUR UFO.

GIVE ME A STATEMENT.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU SAW?

MR. WALTON--

TRAVIS, GET IN THE CAR AND LOCK YOUR DOOR.

WHY DON'T YOU COME CLEAN?

WHAT IS THIS RUMOR ABOUT THE CREW?

COME ON. LOOK OVER HERE!

HE'S NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS TODAY.

CAN I BORROW THAT LADDER OF YOURS?

TRAVIS, CAN WE HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?

AUTOGRAPH?

YEAH. YOU'RE FAMOUS. YOU'VE BEEN TO SPACE.

GEE, THANKS.

COOL.

WOW!

THAT'S COOL.

AUTOGRAPHS, HMM?

YOU'VE BECOME QUITE THE CELEBRITY.

YOU ENJOYING IT?

WORD IS THAT TABLOIDS ARE

GOING TO PUT UP QUITE A HUNK OF CASH

FOR YOUR STORY RIGHTS.

YOU'VE HIT THE BIG TIME. CONGRATULATIONS.

WHO ARE YOU?

FRANK WATTERS,

STATE INVESTIGATOR FOR THE C.I.B.

I'VE BEEN ON THE CASE SINCE YOU DISAPPEARED.

WHERE YOU BEEN THE LAST FIVE DAYS?

I--I CAN'T REMEMBER.

DR. WILSON OVER AT THE HOSPITAL

TELLS ME... YOU WENT

WITHOUT FOOD AND WATER ALL THAT TIME.

WAS IT WORTH IT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YOU DON'T, HUH?

WELL, I CAN SEE

YOUR MEMORY ISN'T QUITE THERE YET,

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY WE JUST...

GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE TIME, HUH?

I'M A PATIENT MAN. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU DECIDE YOU GOT SOMETHING TO TELL ME,

I CAN BE REACHED THROUGH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

OH, UH...

WELCOME HOME, TRAVIS.

GOOD DAY, MA'AM.

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

TAKE ME HOME...

PLEASE.

[ENGINE STARTS]

DID ANYBODY FIND OUT--

HEY!

GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YES. GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK.

I'M SORRY,

BUT MIKE'S PROBABLY NOT COMING.

HEY, TRAVIS, MAN, LOOK AT THIS.

WE MADE THE PAPER.

FRANK WATTERS WAS ON THE RADIO THIS MORNING.

NOW HE'S SAYING POLYGRAPHS ARE INCONCLUSIVE.

HE THINKS WE'RE ALL LYING.

I BET WATTERS STILL THINKS WE KILLED YOU.

YOU ALL RIGHT, GUY?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

UM, EVERYBODY, COME ON.

LET'S EAT.

EVERYTHING'S ALL READY.

LET'S EAT.

COME ON, TRAVIS.

COME ON. LET'S GET SOME CHOW.

WHOA!

WATCH IT THERE.

OH!

THERE YOU GO.

HERE YOU GO.

DO YOU WANT SOME OF THIS?

MARY, GET YOURSELF IN HERE AND GET SOMETHING.

WHERE'S TRAVIS?

TRAVIS?

TRAVIS?

TRAVIS?

HONEY?

TRAVIS?

TRAVIS, WHAT'S GOING ON?

UHH!

TRAVIS, WHAT'S WRONG?

TRAVIS?

TRAVIS, ARE YOU OK?

TRAVIS, WHAT'S WRONG?

TRAVIS?

TRAVIS?

TRAVIS? TRAVIS!

TRAVIS? TRAVIS!

HUH.

AAH!

[PANTING]

AAH!

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

IT'S DR. CAYLE, TRAVIS.

YOUR BROTHER AND DANA BROUGHT YOU TO MY OFFICE.

WE'RE ALL HERE.

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THIS HAS BEEN.

TRAVIS...

ARE YOU OK?

I LOVE YOU, HONEY.

FIRST UNSOLVED CASE, FRANK?

OH, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT EXACTLY, SHERIFF.

I'M JUST WAITING

FOR THE REAL TRUTH TO COME OUT.

WELL, THAT DOCTOR SEEMED TO THINK IT WAS REAL.

UH, SHE'S FORGETTING THE FACT

THAT TRAVIS HAD FIVE DAYS

TO DREAM UP AND REHEARSE

THIS COCKAMAMIE STORY OF HIS.

WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT, FRANK?

IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS WHOLE THING

IS A VERY WELL-PLANNED AND EXECUTED HOAX.

HOAX? FOR GOD'S SAKE.

WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO DO THAT?

TO GET SOME ATTENTION.

IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN...

WELL, ONE OF THESE DAYS,

THEY'RE GOING TO SLIP UP.

AND WHEN THEY DO,

I'M ON MY WAY BACK TO SNOWFLAKE.

ALL THE WAY FROM MONTANA.

FROM THE FRIGGIN' NORTH POLE IF I HAVE TO.

I'LL SEE YOU THEN, SHERIFF.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[DOOR SHUTS]

[CHILD LAUGHS]

AREN'T YOU GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK?

COME HERE, YOU.

[LAUGHS]

I WANT...

WHAT?

I WANT DOWN.

NO. WE GOT TO HAVE BREAKFAST NOW.

WE CAN'T PLAY BALL ANYMORE.

GET YOUR LEGS IN THERE, MICHAEL.

I'M PLAYING.

WE'LL LEAVE THE BALL HERE,

BUT YOU HAVE SOME CEREAL, OK?

I WANT DOWN.

MMM...

HOW'S MY GIRL?

WELL...OK.

YOU GOT TO GO TO WORK.

YEAH. I'LL SEE YA.

OK.

BYE, SWEETHEART.

YOU GOING TO HAVE SOME JUICE?

YEAH, JUICE AND CEREAL.

SAY, "BYE-BYE, DADDY."

BYE-BYE, DADDY.

BYE-BYE.

MIKE?

TRAVIS?

YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD.

YEAH, I HEARD YOU MOVED UP HERE.

BEEN A LONG TIME.

WHAT IS IT, TWO YEARS?

IT'S 2 1/2.

WE GOT TO TALK.

WELL, WHAT DO WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT?

COME ON, MIKE.

LET'S GO FOR A RIDE.

YOU WANT TO GET OUT?

WHY'D YOU BRING ME HERE?

YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE MUCH.

HEY, MIKE...

NEITHER DO I.

IN FACT,

I HAVEN'T HAD A DECENT NIGHT'S SLEEP

SINCE... SINCE I LAST SAW YOU.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

SO IT BOTHERS YOU, TOO?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I SAW YOUR GIRLS THE OTHER DAY.

THEY'RE GETTING BIG.

THEY MISS YOU.

EVERYBODY MISSES YOU.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE AN UNCLE AGAIN.

AGAIN?

YOU MEAN YOU NEVER HEARD?

MICHAEL'S ALMOST 2, AND...

DANA'S THREE MONTHS GONE.

MICHAEL, HUH?

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

SO WHY ARE WE UP HERE, TRAVIS?

I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINKING ABOUT...

WHAT HAPPENED.

HELL, IT WAS ALL MY FAULT, MIKE.

I NEVER SHOULD'VE GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

WHAT HAPPENED HAPPENED.

WE CAN'T CHANGE THAT.

WELL...

WHATEVER YOU DID, IT--IT'S OK.

UNDERSTAND?

IT'S COOL.

SAME GOES FOR YOU.

LET'S GET GOING.

YOU GOT TO GO TO WORK, AND...

AND WHAT?

I'D LIKE TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE

BEFORE THEY COME BACK.

OH, THEY WON'T BE BACK.

I DON'T THINK THEY LIKED ME.
