- They aren't back.

- [sighs]

[static crackling]

- [distorted voice]
Female companion.

Female companion.

Female companion.

You have been chosen.

We are Zada and Zethra.

Our planet is dying.

Jan Broberg, you must save us.

You are one of us.

It is time
for your mission to begin.

[restraints rattling]
- [panting]

- And please help keep
Jan and B safe

while they're gone.

And please tell them
to bring us presents.

In the name of Jesus Christ,
amen.

both: Amen.

- Do you think
that Jan and Brother B

got in a car accident?

[phone ringing]

- Hello, Broberg's.

- Hi, Bob.
- It's Gail.

- Has she heard anything?

- She's offered to pick up
the kids for school

since B's not here.

That is very thoughtful
of you, Gail.

- Of course.

You know, the boys have
the spirit of mischief

in them this morning.

- Yeah, I hate to interrupt,

but have you heard anything
about Jan and B?

- Uh, no.

But the manager at
Pocatello Storage

said that he'd let me
sneak a peak

inside the unit
we couldn't see last night,

so I'll head over there
after I drop the kids.

Oh, and I left word
with the cousins

in Brigham City
in case he stops by,

so I hope to hear back soon.

- Well, let us know
as soon as you do.

- I will.

- You know what?

How about I head
to Brigham City myself? Huh?

- Oh, Bob,
don't drive all that way.

He'll probably just pull
up here the minute you leave.

- Oh, it's no trouble.
I'll leave right now.

You hurry back and park
yourself at home, all right?

In case he calls.

- Suit yourself.

- Bye now.

- You hardly ate.
Can I make you a sandwich?

- I'm not that hungry.

- Can I come help look for Jan?

- Yeah. Come on, get your coat.

[dramatic music]

* *

[mechanical whirring]
- Female companion,

you have been assigned
a male companion.

The male companion

will help you
with the mission.

Go to the front
of the motor home.

[machine winds down]

- B, wake up. B.

- Dolly?

Oh, Dolly, you all right?

Oh, thank God you're okay.

Okay.

Where are we?

- I don't know.
[crying]

You're bleeding.

- I am?

Oh.

I remember driving.

And the instrument cluster
on the car going crazy.

And I stopped.

And that's when I saw them.

- Saw who?

- These lights in a--

in a circle,
and they're right overhead.

And they came down
right beside us.

And that's when a couple
of them emerged.

And they came, and they
pulled me out of the car.

And then they held me
by my arms.

- They didn't look--

they didn't look
strange or funny at all.

I guess they can look
like regular people.

I said to them, I said,
"What do you want?"

And they said you.

And I--

I tried to fight 'em off.

They were just too strong,
and then they overpowered me,

and then I--I blacked out.

Next thing I know,
you're waking me up here.

Hey.

What is it?

- They--they talked to me.

They said their names were
Zada and Zethra.

- [sighs]

And what do they want?

- They said they need me
to save their planet.

- They--they chose me.

- But why you?

- They said...

my mom is my real mom,

but my real dad is one of them.

Their leader.

- How do they expect you
to save them?

- They said I need to meet
the male companion.

And I think that's you.

- [sighs] My head is spinning.

- They said
that they'd be watching me,

and terrible things
would happen

if I didn't complete
the mission.

Like, Karen would go blind,

and Susan would have
to take my place

because she's part alien, too.

And they'd vaporize
my eternal soul.

- Oh, honey.

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.

Hey.

Hey, it's okay.

Oh, I'm scared, too.

I'm scared, too.

Hey.

Here's what I know.

These people...

they exist,

and we have to do
what they say.

Whether they're people like you
and me from another planet

or angels
or whatever they are,

we gotta do it.

But you know what else
this means?

It means you're special.

I always knew you were,

but I guess I just never knew
how special.

I don't know
how we'll get through this.

But I am just so glad it's you,
Dolly.

[eerie chorus vocalizing]

* *

[dramatic music]

* *

- Hi, Dad. Hi, Karen.

- Hi, Brother Broberg.

- Hey, Freckle.

Jacob.

Why don't you guys go
and play in Susan's room?

You too, Bright Eyes.

Go and wash up.

[indistinct chatter]

- And I really think
that we'll just know

it's one big misunderstanding.

Well, hey, Bob.

Any luck in Brigham City?

- No, uh--

We didn't, um--

Why are you not at your house?

- Oh, well, I figured Mary Ann
could use some company.

Jasper's home, if they call.

- [exhales]

- I went by the storage unit.

It was empty.

There was no motorhome.

But I'm still waiting
to hear back

from a few relatives, so--

- It's time we ought
to alert the authorities.

- Gail.

- What do you do
if you were Jenny?

- Mm-hmm. Well, thank you for
filling me in on the situation.

Do you think this fella
might hurt your girl?

- He'd never hurt Jan.
We just...

you know,
thought we should contact you.

- Sir, um--well, I--

- And we would like to request

that you keep
this confidential.

- If you don't think
she's in danger,

and you don't want to file
a missing persons report,

I don't know what there is
to keep confidential.

Since there's
a minor involved,

I'd advise you to call
the local FBI office

just to keep them informed.

- Uh--oh, all right.

Thank you.

- What did he say?

- He said we should call
the local FBI office.

- The FBI?

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann, please,
I just don't understand

what good could come from this.
[dialing phone]

And I just think
that we should think about it

just for a minute, please.
Please.

[line trilling]

- Hello, you've reached the
Pocatello office of the FBI.

This office is closed
until Monday at 8:00 AM.

If this is an emergency,

please call the FBI's central
office in Butte, Montana.

[hangs phone up]
- It's closed till Monday.

They said
if it's a real emergency

to call the central office
in Butte.

- Central office?

- If it's just
to keep them informed--

- He'll be back by Monday.

- If he's not, we call the FBI
first thing Monday morning.

- He'll be back.

He will.

He will be.

[dramatic music]

* *

- Peter Welsh, FBI.

- Sorry to sound
like a broken record,

but what exactly
is your relationship

with Robert Berchtold?

- Well, he's practically
a member of the family.

He loves his children
like they're his own,

like we love his.

And he's a member
of our church.

- Sorry to interrupt. Pete?

- One sec.

Excuse me.

[indistinct chatter]

- The police found
Berchtold's Ford Maverick

near Snake River
about 12 miles south

of American Falls.

They found Jan's jacket inside.

Driver's side window
was broken

from the inside.

And whoever broke that window
cut their hand

because there was blood
on the driver's seat.

- Do you think
that he faked it?

- That's exactly what I think.

- Do you think it has something
to do

with his illness,
I wonder?

- What illness is that?

- He'd been seeing a counselor
for his manic depression.

- It's one of the reason Gail,
his wife,

said we ought to wait
to call you.

- His wife said what?

- Hey, give it back!
- No! I got it.

- Hey, give that back.

[both grunting]

- Thank you.
- Of course.

- Thank you.

- Excuse me for one moment.

- Tried to--
- I have it.

So it's mine for the day.
- Boys.

Hey, I just need five minutes,

if you could settle down
and go play in your bedroom.

And play nice.

I'm sorry
it's such a mess in here.

- It's all right,
Mrs. Berchtold.

- Ma'am.

Did you--
did you notice anything

out of the ordinary
about your husband

in the past few weeks?

- He has his ups and downs,
you know?

Um--

I just wanna make sure
that we're not turning this...

private situation
into some kind of

big public nuisance.

- This is not
a private situation.

If your husband needs help,
he's not gonna get it

unless you help us
bring him home.

Mrs. Berchtold,
the longer he's out there

with Jan Broberg,
the worse this gets.

So is there anything
that you remember?

Anything at all?

- Are you aware of Berchtold

ever giving
your daughter drugs?

- Oh, goodness, no.
- She's 12.

Why?

His wife saw him emptying
medicine capsules

into the toilet last week.

- Did he ever give Jan
any pills?

- He gave us allergy pills
for Jan

so she could go
horseback riding.

There may still be some
in the cabinet.

- I'm gonna need those please.
We'll send them to our lab.

- Of course.

[knock at door]

[knocking continues]

[dramatic music]

* *

- Hi.
- Hello.

- I'm Dr. Alan Milstein,

Mr. Berchtold's psychiatrist

from the Albert Clinic
out west.

I was hoping to speak
with the agent in charge.

- That'd be us.
- In private.

- Sure.

- Do you think
that's the psychiatrist

that told B to listen
to those tapes of his?

- Thank you.
Can you wait outside, please?

[door shuts]

- Mary Ann, Bob?
Why don't you sit down.

This Dr. Milstein seems
to know quite a bit

about your family.

I'm not sure how to put this,
but...

Do you know
what a pedophile is?

- Is it a medical term?

- Well, actually, I'm just--

I'm just hearing the word
for the first time myself.

Apparently it's a condition

where an adult man develops
a fixation

on young girls.

- Fixation?

- Like, he's obsessed.

And Dr. Milstein says
your friend Berchtold

may have this condition.

- What's the treatment?

- What do you mean, obsessed?

- I honestly don't know.

[Gordon Lightfoot's
"The Watchman's Gone]

* *

- * Just like birds
of a feather *

* We too have followed
the golden sun *

* *

* It feels so good *

* Knowing
the watchman's gone *

- And a goose went up

and started walking
and walking,

and then went "Ah!"
- [laughs]

- It was super scary.

- Did it fly or just
give you a little beak?

- It gave me a little beak.

[song continues on radio]

- I can't remember.

Did you take
your allergy pill yet today?

Here you go.

[laughs] Good, good.

Remember
to keep taking those pills.

That way you stay--

- B?

B, are you okay?

B, wake up.

[whirring]
- Your mission begins now.

You will have special child

with male companion.
- B?

B?
- The male companion

will tell you how.

Drive south.

- B, wake up.
- Drive south.

[whirring]
- [inhales sharply]

[grunts]

Oh, hey. Hey.

What just happened?

- It was them.
They were talking to me.

The people from another planet.

- What else did they say?

- It is you.
You're the male companion.

- Whoa.

- We got recording devices
on Gail's phone.

Thank you.
And his both Joe down in Ogden,

and a few others.

Hopefully something turns up.

But I want to talk to you
about going public.

- Mr. Welsh,
we talked about it,

and, you know, with the girls'
school finding out

if all of this
is in the papers,

it could make things worse,
not better.

- Not to mention Gail
and her boys.

They have it hard enough
without him

to put food on the table.

- I've got daughters, too.

I'm a religious man. Methodist.

You're good people.
I can see that.

And you're trying to do
the right thing.

Right now, the right thing

is whatever gives us
the best chance

of getting Jan back.

- Mr. Welsh.

- Pete.

- Pete...

we just want Jan back.

Tell us what you would do.

- I'd make sure every newspaper
in the U.S.,

Mexico, and Canada
knew about it.

- Then that's what we'll do.

- Great. They'll stop every man
traveling with a little girl

for a thousand miles.

And if he tries to go
to a train station,

stop at a bank,
cross a border,

we got him.

- Remember, Jasper's birthday's
September 4th.

Just in case they ask.

- Reason you're visiting
Mexico?

- Oh,
just a little father/son time.

- [speaks Spanish]

[tense music]

* *

- It's okay now.

- Enjoy your stay in Mexico.

- Will do. [chuckles]
- [speaks Spanish]

[gentle music]

* *

- One Mississippi,
two Mississippi,

three Mississippi...

[quiet chatter]

- Elder Hinckley,
we all wanna thank you

for coming to our town

to offer Bob and Mary Ann
your prayers and your wisdom.

It's truly been a blessing.

- You're very welcome,
Bishop Paulsen.

My the Lord bring us all peace,
understanding, and wisdom.

- Amen.

- I pray daily for Jan
and those who are working

to bring her home.

And I pray
for Brother Berchtold,

that he may be healed
of his affliction

and return safely
to his family.

- Thank you.

I should go collect the boys.

- Any news from the FBI?

- Agent Welsh says that, um...

two weeks is on the long side.

But we have faith.

[The Moody Blues'

- * Tuesday *

* Afternoon *

* I'm just beginning to see *

* That I'm on my way *

* It doesn't matter to me *

* Chasing the clouds away *

* *

* Something *

* Calls to me *

* The trees
are drawing me near *

* I've got to find out why *

* Those gentle voices
I hear *

* Explain it all with a sigh *

* *

[somber music]

* *

- [sniffles]

- I can feel it.
She's still out there.

- I feel it, too.

* *

I wish I knew what to do.

- The Lord will guide us.

I don't care if we have to
find her ourselves.

No matter how much time
it takes, we will.

We will.

[coyotes yelping, barking]

* *

- What's the matter?

You don't like it?

- I do.

- Come on.

You can tell me.

- I was just thinking
about what Karen and Susan

are doing right now.

I really wish
things would just

go back to the way
they were before.

- Well, I do too, Dolly.

I do.

Hey.

Come with me.

Look up there.

[mysterious music]

What do you see?

- I see the stars.

- Right.

And that, up there,

that is where you are from.

That's where Zada and Zethra
are right now.

Every time you look
at the sky,

I want you to remember,

your people need you,

and they're watching.

There's little kids
up there, too.

Just like you.

They're on a dying planet.

And they're counting on you

to do everything you can
to save them.

* *

- Hey, you look good in green.
- Hey, Joe.

- Hi.
Oh, that's a beautiful car.

Hey, can we get
this beautiful lady

in this beautiful car please?

[phone ringing]

- Hey, you like this car?
Half off.

I'm just kidding.

Who's got the phone?

No--

Just keep selling these cars.
[ringing continues]

This is Ogden Auto Traders.
This is Joe Berchtold speaking.

- Hey, there, Joe.

How's tricks?

[tense music]

* *

- Good morning, Mary Ann.

We have news.

Hello, Mrs. Berchtold.

Where's Bob?

He's in Wyoming.

- Why is he in Wyoming?

- A psychic told his uncle
that Jan might be there, so--

- Bob doesn't believe
in all that,

but he thought
it couldn't hurt to check.

- Well, we'll have to proceed
without him.

Joe Berchtold got a call
from his brother.

There's a dozen phone lines
at the dealership.

Berchtold must have known
that we couldn't tap them all.

All that Joe would say
is that Berchtold told him

Jan was safe.

Joe doesn't trust the FBI,
so I would like you, Mary Ann,

to call Joe and see
if you can't get him

to talk about his conversation
with his brother.

- You think that if he knew
how broken up we are about Jan,

he might help us more?

- I can help, too.

I know Joe.

[dramatic music]

- Joe? Mary Ann Broberg.

I've got Gail
on the other line here.

We heard Bob called.

- Uh, yeah, yeah. I already--

I already told
the FBI about it.

- Could you tell us?

- He just said
that Jan was safe. That's all.

Look, I'm not looking to get
mixed up into any of this.

- Joe, did he say anything

about where he is, or...

if Jan misses us?

- Truth be told, I wish
he never called me, okay?

Look, I don't want any trouble
with the FBI,

but I'm real busy here.

I gotta go.

- Joe.

It's Gail.

Did Bob say anything

about leaving us money?

- Uh, no, nothing
about that either, Gail.

- It's just,
I have all these bills here.

And I could really use
some help.

- Sell the Maverick.

- I would, but the thunderhead
broke the window.

I could just about wring
his neck,

and that car has no insurance,
so--

- Yeah, that's a bum deal.

Hey, well,

how about you let me know
if there's any way

that you can think
of me helping you,

and we'll talk real soon.

Now, take care, Gail.

- Joe--

If--

if you talk to him again,
I want you to

tell him how broken up
Jan's family is.

How her dad and me can't sleep.

We just stay up at night,
thinking about her,

wondering if we're ever
gonna get to see her again.

I know
that you're a decent man,

and you'd do anything
that you could

to help us get her back.

So if there's anything
that your brother said

that could have slipped
your mind...

- Look, I--I really don't want
to get involved in this.

There was one thing, okay?

It all just sounded crazy
to me, but...

he's really worried
about those kidnapping charges,

so he said that the only way
that he would be able

to bring her back
without facing jailtime

is if you give him
your permission to...

To marry her.

[eerie music]

* *

- Absolutely not!

No way. That--that's sick.

- I'm as sick about it
as you are,

but if it's the only way
to get her back--

- He is not going to marry
our 12-year-old daughter.

He's already married

to you, Gail.

- No, no, no,

I'm not saying that we sh--

I just think if there's a way

to shock him back
into reality--

- Gail.
Right now, I think it's best

that you go tend
to your family at home.

- I should go check
on the boys, anyhow.

- You take care.

- Let me know.

[dark music]

* *

- We are not letting him marry
our daughter.

- Of course not.

But you don't need
to worry about that

because Mary Ann did such
a bang-up job on that call.

- I did?
- You did.

The fact that Berchtold asked
his brother to rely a request,

it means he's going
to be calling back,

and when he does,

we've got a shot
at tracking his location.

[country music
playing on radio]

- * Holdin' on *

* Barely holding on *

* *

- You want a cigarette?

- Quit a couple years back.

The smell makes me sick.

- So you guys gonna be here
all week?

[phone ringing]

[clicking]

- This is Joe Berchtold
speaking.

- Joe, it's me.

What'd the Broberg's say?

I'm sorry, who is this?

- It's me. It's Bob.
Who else would it be?

- I'm sorry, Bob, you're
sounding kind of different.

Where are you?

- What'd the Brobergs say, Joe?

- They said they were
interested in your offer.

- They said that?
They said "interested"?

- Uh, yeah, yeah.
They want to do it.

- You feel pretty good
they're not stalling

or nothing like that.
- Yeah, yeah.

They just--
they need some time, you know,

to figure out
all the paperwork.

- Okay, good. Good, good, good.

Tell 'em the sooner,
the better,

okay, for all of us.

Well, I should go.

- Hey, Bob, you didn't say,
how's Jan doing?

- How's Jan's doing?

The heck you talkin' about,
Joe?

- I don't know, they asked me
to check in on her,

see how she was doing.

They're worried about her, Bob.

- Well, you just tell them

to worry about that paperwork.

Bye now, Joe.

- It's been real rainy here,
you know?

Are you getting
a lot of rain by you?

Joe, you know I'm not gonna
talk to you about my location.

'Cause I wouldn't wanna put you
in that kinda position.

- What kinda position
is that?

- I just don't know
what I would do

if somebody got
in the way of my life

and the way I live it.

Even if that somebody was you.

- Are you--
are you threatening me, Bob?

- You just take care, brother.

[hangs up]

- How was that?

- Did we get him?

[knock at door]

Bob, Mary Ann.

We tracked him to a hotel
in Mazatlán, Mexico.

And we're confident that Jan
is with him, very close by.

The Mexican authorities are
working to apprehend him now.

But, I have to warn you,

Jan, when she returns, she--

she may not be herself.

- What do you mean?

- It's possible that she could
be influenced

like Patty Hearst.

- Jan's no Patty Hearst.

- We need
her birth certificate.

We'll send that down
by messenger

to the federales.
- I'll go get it.

I'll bring it with us
on the plane.

- Actually,
we would advise against you two

getting on a plane right now.

It could be dangerous.

And, heck, you don't even speak
the language.

Let's just let
the Mexican police handle this.

[tense music]

* *

Mrs. Broberg,
are you all right?

- Jan's birth certificate
is gone. He took it.

I know it was him.

- It's all right.
It's all right.

We'll find some other
documentation to send out.

- Pete--Agent McDaniel,
we are very grateful

for everything
you've done for us,

but unless is it
against the law

for us to book a flight
to Mexico,

we are booking
a flight to Mexico.

[coyotes barking, howling]

[footsteps]

- B! B.

Wake up, hurry.
- What is it, Dolly?

- They're here.
The people from another planet.

[blinds rattle]

- Shit.

[door creeks open]

[officers shouting in Spanish]

- [speaking Spanish]

- Take me, not her.
[overlapping shouting]

- [crying]
What are they doing?

- It's okay.
- You're hurting him! Stop it!

Let him go! No, don't!
- Whatever happens,

it's the mission,
remember about the mission.

- We'll finish the mission!

Just leave him alone!
- [shouting in Spanish]

- It's okay.

- [speaking Spanish]
- No! Leave me alone!

Get off me!
- [speaking Spanish]

- We'll finish the mission,
I promise.

[dramatic music]

* *

- [speaking Spanish]

- Where are they taking us?

- It's okay.
- [speaking Spanish]

[radio chatter in Spanish]

* *

- Dolly, it's okay.
Dolly, it's all right.

- [speaking Spanish]
- It's all right, Dolly.

- Please don't leave me.

- Don't touch her. Hey!

It's you and me.
It's you and me, Dolly.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay, Dolly.
It's you and me.

[door slams]

* *

- [whispering] Dolly.

Dolly, can you hear me?

Doll--
- Silencio.

- Okay.

- Sir? Officer?

- [speaking Spanish]

Silencio.

- Hey.

Two minutes.

- Vamos.

- Hey.
- B!

- Hey.
- Are you okay?

Did they hurt you?
- Did you let

that man touch your arm?

- No.
- All right, good.

Do you remember what they said?

You are not to have any contact

with any man
other than your male companion.

All right?

And that goes for you so-called
father on Earth.

That's especially for Bob.

You gotta remember, okay?

You're different.
You're special.

All right,
you're not like the other kids.

Okay?

Come here. Come over here.

Do you remember
how we talked about

at some point
there would come a time

where we would both be tested?

- Yes.

- That time has come.

- What's gonna happen?

What are we gonna do?

- Well, you don't want them
to make Karen blind,

and you don't want them to send
a new companion, do you?

- No.
- Okay.

[thud]
- [shouting in Spanish]

- Okay, okay.

Then your dedication
to the mission cannot waver.

We don't have a lot of time.

So Zada spoke to me directly.

Said they are going to be
watching us all the time,

and they're gonna look
like regular people.

We're not gonna know
who they are.

And we need to follow
four important rules.

Okay, number one,

we can't tell anyone--anyone
about Zada or Zethra

or their people.

Do you understand?

Two, we cannot tell anyone
about the mission.

Three...

you can't say a word to anyone

about how the allergy pills
make you sleepy.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- Four, you can't tell anyone
about the--

the baby stuff.

Okay?

You understand?

Say it back to me.

- Don't--don't tell
about Zada and Zethra

or the mission.
- Mm-hmm.

- Or--
- The pills.

- The pills.
- And?

- And the baby.
- Good, yeah. Okay.

Okay, good.

This is it.

This is it, Dolly, okay?

You break any of those rules,

they're gonna punish
Karen and Susan

and your mother, too.

And I don't want that
to happen.

Okay, 'cause I love them.

And I know I want you
to love them, too.

All right, you understand?

- All right.

I got you something.

[bangs on door]
- Tiempo!

- Just a second, please.
Just a second, please!

This...

This is a reminder
of the mission

and a symbol of our bond
which makes everything okay.

[door opens]

I don't know
what's gonna happen to me,

but I'm gonna stay strong
for you, Dolly, okay?

And you stay strong for me.
You stay strong for me.

I'm gonna be with you always.
I'm gonna be with you always.

Okay?
I'm gonna be with you always.

- Please let me stay with him,
please.

- All right, I love you.
I love you. I love you.

And I always will!

I love you!

Are you okay?

What's gonna happen to him?

- We need to focus
on getting you home, all right?

We can talk about all of this.

And please bless me to be able
to complete the mission

I was born to do.

And save

and the dying children there.

In Jesus' name, amen.
