OF COURSE WE SUFFERED
LOSSES, MAN.

YOU DON'T GO UP AGAINST A FORCE
LIKE THIS WITHOUT EXPECTING LOSSES.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[MIKE] HOW MANY LOSSES?
HOW MANY LOSSES?

SEVEN MEN AND WOMEN
KILLED.

A DOZEN WOUNDED.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[MIKE] YOU'RE WOUNDED, TOO.
YOU'RE WOUNDED, TOO!

THESE WOUNDS
ARE NOTHING, SEE,

COMPARED TO THE WOUNDS THAT
THEY'VE INFLICTED ON OUR COUNTRY.

BUT WE'RE GONNA FIGHT THEM
TILL WE WIN. YOU GOT THAT?

WE'RE GONNA FIGHT
TILL EL SALVADOR IS FREE,

THERE AIN'T NOTHING
GONNA STOP US.

HEY, YOU GOT THAT?

YEAH. 1 GOT IT.

MAN, THIS DON'T
LOOK GOOD.

ARE YOU KIDDING?
IT'S GREAT.

[GUNFIRE]

COME ON.

COME ON. COME ON!

YOU'LL GET ME KILLED
THIS TIME, DONOVAN.

YOU'LL
GET ANOTHER EMMY.

A BULLET
IN MY EARPHONE.

LOOK AT HIM!

LOOK AT HIM.

[CHEERING]

UNBELIEVABLE.

UNBELIEVABLE IS
THAT WE'RE STILL HERE.

NOW COME ON, MAN!

GET IN ALREADY.
HURRY UP!

WISH WE HAD
A TYLER MOUNT.

I WISH WE
HAD A TANK.

HANG IN THERE. IT'S NO
WORSE THAN CAMBODIA.

AT LEAST IF YOU GOT CREAMED THERE,
I COULD'VE PASSED FOR ONE OF THEM.

WHERE'D HE GO?

MIKE.

AH!

TONY, YOU OK?

[TONY] LOVING
EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO LAW SCHOOL.

[MIKE] CAN YOU RUN?

DO I HAVE A CHOICE?

- [MIKE] NOT REALLY.
- [TONY] LET'S GO.

I'll DRAW THEIR FIRE.
YOU HAUL IT OVER THERE.

MIKE, YOU'RE CRAZY.
WE'RE GOING OUT TOGETHER.

GET YOUR CAN
IN GEAR. GO!

MIKE!

COME ON, ALGERNON.
SHOW DR. METZ YOUR TUMMY.

IT'S REMARKABLE!

THE LESION'S
NEARLY HEALED.

YES.

YOU KNOW HOW LONG
MY RESEARCH STAFF

HAVE BEEN SEARCHING
FOR THAT FORMULA?

WELL, RUTH HELPED
A LOT.

NOT SO.
SHE DID IT ALL HERSELF.

I WAS VERY LUCKY.

HMM. THE TRUTH IS, JULIET,
THAT YOU ARE VERY, VERY GIFTED.

I WARN YOU, RUTH AND I ARE GONNA
TRY TO STEAL YOU FROM THE MED SCHOOL,

GET YOU INTO
BIOCHEMISTRY FULL-TIME.

[SQUEAKING]

HAVE YOU HEARD
ABOUT THEM?

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.

THEY'RE ALL AROUND
THE WORLD.

BUT WHEREVER THE REPORTS
HAVE COME FROM,

PARIS, ROME, GENEVA,
BUENOS AIRES, TOKYO,

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CRAFT
ARE ALL IDENTICAL.

AND NOW I'M TOLD

THAT OUR AFFILIATE STATION
KXT IN SAN FRANCISCO

NOW HAS A PICTURE.

YES, THERE IT IS.
GOOD LORD.

IT'S COMING IN ACROSS
THE GOLDEN GATE.

THIS IS A LIVE PICTURE
FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

[SQUEAKING]

[QUINTON]
GENTLY, ROBERT.

SHE'S A VERY SPECIAL
LADY.

UPPER PLEISTOCENE.

IT'S MUCH OLDER THAN WE'VE
FOUND BEFORE NOW, QUINTON.

AYE, THAT SHE IS, LAD.

NOTICE THE CONTOUR
OF HER FOREHEAD.

YOU SEE HOW IT--

[GASP]

RICHARD,
WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S HUGE!

WHAT THE DEVIL...

IT MUST BE
3 MILES ACROSS!

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[SWITCHES OFF]

[TV ANCHOR] THIS IS THE SCENE
ALONG THE CHAMPS ELYSEES

WE REPEAT, THIS PICTURE'S
COMING LIVE FROM PARIS

WHERE ANOTHER GIANT
UFO IS MOVING OVERHEAD.

THE PENTAGON REPORTS
THAT FIGHTERS

FROM THE TACTICAL AIR COMMAND
BASES AROUND THE NATION

HAVE APPROACHED
THE MONSTROUS UFOs,

BUT ALL THE JETS
REPORTED INTERFERENCE

WITH THEIR ON-BOARD GUIDANCE
AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT,

MAKING IT QUITE IMPOSSIBLE
TO GET WITHIN A MILE.

MISSILES FIRED
SIMPLY GO ASTRAY

AND DETONATE
OUT OF RANGE.

HERE, ONE OF THE CRAFT
APPROACHES WASHINGTON, D.C.

POLICE AND TROOPS ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN
ORDERLY EVACUATION OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL

AND ALL OTHER CITIES WHICH ARE
THREATENED BY THIS UNKNOWN MENACE.

ROADS AND HIGHWAYS EVERYWHERE
ARE JAMMED WITH TRAFFIC.

OTHER CRAFT ARE KNOWN
TO BE APPROACHING

AT LEAST SIX OTHER
MAJOR U.S. CITIES--

SAN FRANCISCO, HOUSTON, NEW
YORK CITY, AND NEW ORLEANS,

THE CHICAGO AREA,
AND LOS ANGELES.

- [WOMAN] GET THE CAR STARTED!
- [CHILD] MAMA!

[WOMAN] GRANDDAD!
GRANDDAD, COME ON!

GRANDDAD!

[HONK]

POLLY! POLLY,
ARE YOU HURT?

I DIDN'T HIT HER. SHE WAS COMING
RIGHT AT ME! I DIDN'T HIT HER.

[DANIEL] GET OUT OF HERE!
COME ON!

- THERE IT IS!
- OH, THERE!

IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT,
WE GOTTA MOVE!

MOM?

[RUBY] I RAN
OUT OF MY HOUSE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS
AN EARTHQUAKE.

NO, IT IS NOT
AN EARTHQUAKE, RUBY.

DEAR GOD, WHAT IS IT?

I CAN'T
BELIEVE IT!

- WHAT IS IT?
- IT'S FANTASTIC.

COME ON. DON'T JUST
STAND AROUND. LET'S GO!

[FEMALE ANCHOR] AND TASS CONFIRMS
REPORTS THAT SIMILAR GIGANTIC CRAFT

ARE NOW APPROACHING MOSCOW,
LENINGRAD, AND VLADIVOSTOK.

THIS WOULD BRING THE
UNOFFICIAL COUNT TO AT LEAST 31.

HOW CAN IT JUST
HANG THERE?

[TV ANCHOR]
CAIRO ALSO IS REPORTING

THAT ITS UFO
IS STATIONARY NOW

LIKE ALMOST
ALL THE OTHERS.

I STILL THINK WE
SHOULD LEAVE THE CITY.

NO. THE ROADS
ARE JAMMED.

- OH, STANLEY.
- YOU HEARD THE PRESIDENT.

SO FAR THERE'S NO INDICATION
THAT THEY'RE HOSTILE.

BUT IF THEY ARE...

IF THEY ARE,
I'M NOT SURE

WHERE WE WOULD
FIND A HIDING PLACE.

[TV ANCHOR] ...OF WHAT THIS
UNBELIEVABLE EVENT WILL MEAN TO US.

LOOK, IT'S LONDON!

IN LONDON, PARLIAMENT
IS WAITING LIKE US

FOR FIRST SIGN
OF CONTACT.

THE SOVIET UNION IS
BROADCASTING THROUGHOUT RUSSIA...

- DADDY!
- MOM, DAD'S HOME!

- ARE YOU OKAY? IS EVERYBODY OKAY?
- YEAH.

IT'S SO NEAT. IT'S
SCARY, TOO, BUT...

OH, ROBERT.

I KNOW, I KNOW.
ME, TOO.

AT LEAST WE'RE TOGETHER.

[SIRENS SOUND]

AND COMING UP ON
16 HOURS

SINCE FIRST REPORTS OF
SIGHTINGS STARTED YESTERDAY.

IT'S 8:00
HERE IN NEW YORK...

IT'S 5:00 HERE. JULIE,
WHY'D YOU LET ME SLEEP?

DON'T WORRY, THEY SAID WALL
STREET ISN'T GOING TO OPEN.

THANK GOD. I'D HATE TO THINK OF
WHAT'D HAPPEN TO THE MARKET IF IT DID.

WHERE'S DAN RATHER?

HE FINALLY
LOST HIS VOICE.

HE WAS DOING RECAPS
MOST OF THE NIGHT.

NOTHING'S CHANGED.
NO CONTACT?

NO. RAY BRADBURY WAS
JUST ON WITH ARTHUR CLARKE.

NOTHING SOLID. MORE SPECULATIONS.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE HELL TO THINK.

YOU'RE GOING
TO THE HOSPITAL?

YEAH, I CALLED.
THE E.R. IS JUMPING.

LOTS OF HEART ATTACK
VICTIMS AND SUICIDE ATTEMPTS.

THEY NEED ALL THE MED
STUDENTS THEY CAN GET.

AND HOW ABOUT
STOCKBROKERS?

YOU MEAN
YOU'RE COMING TO HELP?

SURE. I'D KIND OF
LIKE TO BE WITH YOU

JUST IN CASE.

[TV ANCHOR] HERE'S THE
SCENE IN ATHENS, GREECE,

THE CRADLE OF OUR
WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

IT SOMEHOW SEEMS SO INSIGNIFICANT
COMPARED TO THAT SHIP...

- I'll GET MY CLOTHES.
- OKAY.

AND THIS IS ONLY 1 OF
50 IDENTICAL SPACECRAFT

OVER 50 CITIES WORLDWIDE.

DO YOU REALIZE

THAT THIS IS A WHOLE
NEW BEGINNING

FOR ALL OF US? I WONDER
WHAT THEY'LL DO FIRST--

DANNY...THIS COULD BE
THE LAST DAY WE EVER SEE.

WELL...
[CHUCKLING]

I DON'T WANT TO DIE
UNTIL I MAKE LOVE.

ROBIN, DANIEL!
SOMETHING'S HAPPENING!

[FEMALE ANCHOR] THE SAME
OCCURRENCE NOW IN JERUSALEM.

THE PULSING SIGNAL
HAS ALSO BEGUN.

THERE YOU SEE IT,

AND YOU HEAR
THE PULSING TONE.

LISTEN...OUTSIDE.

[PULSING TONE]

[TV ANCHOR] NOW THE
UFO OVER LOS ANGELES

HAS JOINED THIS STRANGE,
UNEARTHLY CHOIR.

WAIT.

I'M TOLD THAT...

WHAT? THAT THERE'S A VOCAL
SIGNAL COMING THROUGH.

THIS MAY BE IT, THE CONTACT
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

IT'S BEING PICKED UP ON THE FREQUENCY
RESERVED FOR INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCIES.

WE'RE MONITORING, AND...

[MAN'S VOICE]
21...20...

- [MAN'S VOICE] 19...18...
- [TV ANCHOR] THERE. YOU HEAR IT.

IT'S IN ENGLISH. NO, I'M TOLD
IT'S IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

[MAN'S VOICE]
QUATORZE...TREIZE...

DOUZE...

ONZE...

ENAIRE...

DEKA...

OCTO...

CHEVA...

SHISH...

FIVE. FOUR...

TRE...

DUE...

ONE.

CITIZENS OF THE PLANET EARTH,
WE BRING YOU GREETINGS,

AND WE COME IN PEACE.

WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
THAT THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

OF YOUR UNITED NATIONS

PLEASE COME TO THE TOP OF
THE UNITED NATIONS BUILDING

IN NEW YORK
AT 0100 GREENWICH MEAN TIME...

THAT'S 8:00
NEW YORK TIME.

[MAN'S VOICE]
THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU.

I'M NOT ABOUT
TO MISS THIS.

[KRISTINE] MIKE.

I HEARD YOU DREW
THE TV POOL.

- [MIKE] YEAH.
- ME, TOO.

THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED
YOUR DECK OF CARDS.

[TONY]
HI, KRISTINE.

HI, TONY.

SO...WHERE DO WE
SET UP?

YOU MIGHT AT LEAST HAVE SAID GOOD-BYE
THAT MORNING WHEN YOU LEFT ME.

HEY, I DID. YOU WERE ON THE PHONE
HUSTLING ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT.

SORRY.

SO WAS I.

[TV ANCHOR] 30
SECONDS NOW UNTIL 8:00.

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
IS COMING OUT.

HE'S INDICATING
TO THE U.N. TROOPS

TO LOWER THEIR WEAPONS,
AND THEY'RE DOING SO.

JUST 15 SECONDS NOW.

HE'S LOOKING UPWARD,
AS WE ALL ARE.

AND A HUSH HAS FALLEN,

NOT JUST HERE, BUT I'M
SURE ALL AROUND THE WORLD,

AS 8:00 STRIKES,

0100 GREENWICH
MEAN TIME...

NOW.

IT'S OPENING. THERE'S
SOMETHING COMING OUT.

A SMALLER CRAFT MOVING DOWN
FROM THE GIANT MOTHERSHIP...

IT'S ALRIGHT.

THEY SAID THEY
CAME IN PEACE.

WHAT IS IT, DADDY?

I DON'T KNOW.

[KRISTINE] IT'S SOME
KIND OF LANDING CRAFT?

[TV ANCHOR] ACROSS
3rd AVENUE AND 39th,

DIRECTLY TOWARDS
THE U.N. BUILDING.

WOW! IT'S NEAT, MOM,
HUH?

SURE.

[TV ANCHOR] IT'S COMPLETING
ITS TURN NOW AND...

[KRISTINE] NOW THE
CRAFT IS COMING CLOSER,

SLOWLY DRIFTING DOWNWARD.

MOMMY, CAN I
HAVE A SODA?

IN A SECOND,
HONEY.

[KRISTINE] THE AIR ITSELF
FEELS STRANGE, VIBRATING.

[MAN'S VOICE]
HERR GENERAL SEKRETARIAT...

VAR INTE RADD.
KOM UPP RAMPEN.

W-WHAT WAS THAT?

I COULDN'T
UNDERSTAND.

I THINK THE VOICE
SPOKE SWEDISH.

THAT'S THE NATIVE LANGUAGE
OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL.

[TV ANCHOR] I'M GETTING
THE TRANSLATION NOW.

IT, UH...

- MADRE MIA.
- [TV ANCHOR] SEEMS TO BE...

"DO NOT BE AFRAID.
PLEASE COME UP THE RAMP."

THAT'S ONE BRAVE MAN.

[TV ANCHOR] AND NOW IS
DISAPPEARING THROUGH THE OPENING.

- [LYNN] STANLEY.
- TAKE IT EASY.

[KRISTINE] THERE SEEMS TO BE
ACTIVITY, BUT IT'S TOO DARK...

THERE HE IS!

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
IS REAPPEARING...

OH, THANK GOD.

[KRISTINE]
APPARENTLY UNHARMED.

[SECRETARY-GENERAL] MY
FELLOW CITIZENS OF EARTH...

NOW THE BAD NEWS.

THESE VISITORS
ASSURE ME

THEY HAVE COME IN PEACE

AND THAT THEY WISH
TO HONOR ALL THE COVENANTS

OF OUR UNITED NATIONS
CHARTER.

AS YOU WILL SEE,

THEY ARE MUCH LIKE US,

ALTHOUGH THEIR VOICES
ARE UNUSUAL.

THEY ASK FOR ME TO SPEAK
ON THEIR BEHALF,

BUT I FELT THAT
EVERYONE

WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE

IF THEIR SUPREME COMMANDER,
WHO IS ABOARD THIS VESSEL,

SPOKE DIRECTLY
TO ALL OF YOU.

HIS VOICE WILL BE HEARD
'ROUND THE WORLD

IN EVERY LANGUAGE
NECESSARY.

[TV ANCHOR]
WE CAN HEAR FOOTSTEPS NOW

AND...

HE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF US,

A MIDDLE-AGED MAN,

I'D SAY ROUGHLY
6 FEET...

HE SURE LOOKS
LIKE ONE OF US.

OUTWARDLY.

THAT WAS NO NASH RAMBLER
HE DROVE UP IN.

AW, MOM, HE'S NO E.T.

HE DOESN'T EVEN
LOOK LIKE MR. SPOCK.

[KRISTINE] THE BOOTS
APPEAR TO BE LIKE KID.

THE GARMENT
LOOKS LIKE...

THEIR EVOLUTIONARY PATTERN
MUST HAVE BEEN IDENTICAL TO OURS.

DOES HE HAVE
FOUR FINGERS AND A THUMB?

IT LOOKS LIKE--YEAH!

INCREDIBLE!

I THINK HE'S
ABOUT TO SPEAK.

[ECHOING VOICE] I TRUST
THAT YOU'LL FORGIVE ME,

BUT OUR EYES ARE UNACCUSTOMED
TO THIS SORT OF BRIGHTNESS.

HIS VOICE
IS STRANGE.

HE CLEARLY ISN'T
ONE OF US.

IT'S FASCINATING,
THOUGH.

WE HAVE COME IN PEACE
TO ALL MANKIND.

YOU SEE, IN PEACE.

OUR PLANET IS THE FOURTH
IN DISTANCE

FROM THE STAR
YOU CALL SIRIUS

SOME 8.7 LIGHT YEARS...

FANTASTIC.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
WE HAVE LEFT OUR SYSTEM,

AND YOU, THE FIRST
INTELLIGENT LIFE

WE'VE ENCOUNTERED.

WE'RE PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

OUR NAMES WOULD SOUND
PECULIAR TO YOU,

SO WE, MY FELLOW
VISITORS AND I,

HAVE CHOSEN
SIMPLE NAMES FROM EARTH.

MY NAME IS JOHN.

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
HAS REFERRED TO ME

AS THE SUPREME COMMANDER.

ACTUALLY, I'M JUST
SORT OF AN ADMIRAL

RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SMALL
FLEET AROUND YOUR PLANET.

THIS SMALL FLEET?

[JOHN] WE HAVE SENT OTHER
UNMANNED CRAFT BEFORE US.

SOME HAVE MONITORED YOUR EARTH
FOR QUITE A WHILE

SO WE COULD LEARN
YOUR LANGUAGES.

BUT SOME OF US ARE NOT
AS SKILLED AS OTHERS,

AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL
BE PATIENT WITH US.

WE HAVE COME ON BEHALF
OF OUR GREAT LEADER,

HIM WHO GOVERNS
OUR UNITED PLANET

WITH BENEVOLENCE
AND WISDOM.

WE HAVE COME...
BECAUSE WE NEED YOUR HELP.

OUR PLANET IS IN SERIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL DIFFICULTY,

FAR, FAR WORSE
THAN YOURS.

IT'S REACHED A STAGE

WHERE WE WILL BE
UNABLE TO SURVIVE

WITHOUT IMMEDIATE
ASSISTANCE.

THERE ARE CERTAIN
CHEMICALS AND COMPOUNDS

WHICH WE MUST MANUFACTURE,

WHICH ALONE CAN SAVE
OUR STRUGGLING CIVILIZATION.

AND YOU CAN HELP US
TO MANUFACTURE THESE.

AND IN RETURN, WE WILL
GLADLY SHARE WITH YOU

ALL THE FRUITS
OF OUR KNOWLEDGE.

UNBELIEVABLE.

YEAH.

NOW THAT WE HAVE
ESTABLISHED CONTACT,

WE WOULD LIKE TO MEET
WITH INDIVIDUAL GOVERNMENTS

TO MAKE REQUESTS
FOR CERTAIN OPERATING PLANTS

TO BE RETOOLED
FOR THE MANUFACTURE

OF THE COMPOUND
WHICH WE NEED.

I HOPE THEY PICK
YOUR PLANT.

[JOHN] AND WE'LL REWARD
YOUR GENEROSITY, AS I HAVE SAID,

BY EDUCATING YOUR INDUSTRIAL
AND SCIENTIFIC COMPLEX

TO THE LIMITS
OF OUR KNOWLEDGE,

HELPING TO SOLVE YOUR OWN
ENVIRONMENTAL, AGRICULTURAL,

AND HEALTH DILEMMAS.

THEN WE'LL LEAVE YOU
AS WE CAME, IN PEACE.

TALK ABOUT AN OFFER
WE CAN'T REFUSE, HUH?

I WONDER WHAT
WOULD HAPPEN IF WE DID.

[JOHN] IF OUR
CIRCUMSTANCES WERE REVERSED

AND YOU HAD VISITED US,

I WOULD FEEL
A BURNING CURIOSITY

TO SEE THE INSIDE OF YOUR
SPACECRAFT RIGHT AWAY.

AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

[JOHN] I WOULD LIKE
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

AND SEVERAL
OF YOUR JOURNALISTS

TO ACCOMPANY US BACK
ABOARD OUR MOTHERSHIP

FOR THE FIRST OF MANY OPPORTUNITIES
TO GET TO KNOW US BETTER.

HOT DAMN.

I WAS AFRAID
OF THIS.

[TV ANCHOR] THE TEAM,
SELECTED EARLIER BY LOT,

THAT WILL PROVIDE POOL
COVERAGE FOR THE MEDIA--

IT'S DAD!

HE'S GOING UP THERE.
THEY SAID MIKE DONOVAN.

LOOK! THERE HE IS!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I WONDER IF THIS MEANS
I'll GET MORE ALIMONY.

[TV ANCHOR] ...OF THE UPI
AND WIDE WORLD'S JERI TAYLOR.

YOU SEE THEM ALL PREPARING
FOR THIS MOST REMARKABLE...

YOU WORRIED FOR HIM?

SINCE THE MORNING
I GAVE BIRTH TO HIM.

[TV ANCHOR] ...THE FULL TEAM
NOW LEAVING THE PRESS AREA.

[DENNY] WOULD I LIKE
TO GET INTO HIS SHIP,

I'D LIKE TO GET
INTO HIS DNA.

I WONDER IF THERE'S
ANY KIDS WITH THEM.

DON'T BE STUPID,
POLLY.

WHY IS THAT STUPID?

COME ON,
POLLY, COOL IT.

YOU DON'T EVEN
LIVE HERE.

MOMMY, CAN I HAVE
A SODA, PLEASE?

[TV ANCHOR] THE SUPREME
COMMANDER OF THE VISITORS,

OR JOHN AS HE'S ASKED
WE CALL HIM,

JOHN IS SHAKING HANDS
WITH ALL THE JOURNALISTS.

YOU SEE THERE?
THEY'RE SHAKING HANDS.

MM-HMM.

IT'S GREAT.
HUH, FATHER?

[TV ANCHOR] THEY'RE
STARTING UP INTO THE SHUTTLE.

NOW THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
IS MOVING UP

INSIDE THE CRAFT AGAIN

WITH JERI TAYLOR
AND SAM EGAN.

KRISTINE WALSH
IS SMILING...

IF THEY NEED
REFINERIES,

YOU OUGHT TO
TALK TO RICHLAND

AND PUT A BID IN
FOR YOUR PLANT.

- GUESS IT COULD BE QUITE...
- PRESTIGIOUS.

[TV ANCHOR] ...NUMEROUS EMMYS
AND OTHER AWARDS FOR THEIR WORK.

MIKE DONOVAN IS ABOUT
TO FOLLOW THE OTHERS

AND MOVE INSIDE
THE SPACECRAFT.

THEY'RE SHOOTING VIDEOTAPE
WE'RE MOST ANXIOUS TO SEE.

- GOOD LUCK.
- [TV ANCHOR] ...ARE CLOSING AGAIN NOW.

GOOD LUCK.

GOOD LUCK.

GOOD LUCK.

[TV ANCHOR] NOW THE
SHUTTLECRAFT IS LIFTING OFF

FROM THE ROOF OF THE
UNITED NATIONS BUILDING.

GOOD LUCK.

I LOVE YOU, DAD.

ANOTHER BOTTLE?

SURE.

HOW OFTEN
DO WE CELEBRATE

OUR COVERAGE OF THE
STORY OF THE CENTURY?

KEEP IN MIND,
WE LUCKED INTO IT.

IT WASN'T LUCK. I STACKED
THE DECK SO WE'D GET THE POOL.

COME ON.

I REALLY DID. DID
YOU PUT THE TAPE IN?

YOU ALREADY SAW IT ON
THE NETWORK WHEN IT AIRED.

WASN'T IT TERRIFIC,
EVERYONE'S REACTIONS?

PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM.

ONE MORE TIME.

FOR THOSE OF US ACCUSTOMED

TO THE LIKES OF
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

OR DARTH VADER'S
FUTURISTIC STAR DESTROYER,

OUR FIRST GLIMPSES INSIDE OF
THE SPACECRAFT OF THE VISITORS

WERE SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED...

KRIS, KRIS. TRY TO GET
A LITTLE IN THE GLASS.

[TV ANCHOR] NO GREAT WALLS
OF LIGHTS OR OTHER THINGS

THAT SCIENCE FICTION BUFFS
WOULD TAKE IN STRIDE.

THE DOCKING BAY LOOKED
LIKE THE HANGAR DECK

OF A BIG
AIRCRAFT CARRIER.

[KRISTINE] JOHN TELLS
US THIS LANDING BAY

CAN HANDLE
THREE DOZEN SHUTTLECRAFT

AND THAT THERE ARE OVER 200
OTHER LANDING BAYS LIKE THIS ONE

THROUGHOUT EACH OF THE
50 GIGANTIC MOTHERSHIPS.

[MIKE] JUST YOUR AVERAGE
INTERSTELLAR WELCOME WAGON.

IT ALL SEEMS A LITTLE
EASY, DOESN'T IT?

FAST FORWARD, MIKE.

YOUR LIFE IS ON
FAST FORWARD.

[KRISTINE] YOU HAVE BOTH
MALE AND FEMALE IN YOUR CREW.

OF COURSE. THIS IS DIANA,
SECOND IN COMMAND.

YOU GAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND
MORE CLOSE-UPS THAN ME.

- HELLO.
- HELLO.

DIANA'S IN CHARGE OF THE
SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS OF OUR MISSION.

SHALL WE GO FORWARD
TO THE ENGINE ROOM?

[DIANA] THIS IS WHAT
YOU'D CALL OUR ENGINE ROOM.

- [KRISTINE] THE YELLOW DOORS WE PASSED?
- [DIANA] RESTRICTED AREAS.

A LOT OF RADIOACTIVITY.

OUR GRAVITY DRIVE
IS QUITE EFFECTIVE,

BUT TAKES UP
NEARLY HALF THE SHIP.

IT ENABLES US TO TRAVEL
AT GREAT VELOCITY,

APPROACHING
THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

[KRISTINE] HOW LONG HAVE YOUR
PEOPLE HAD THIS TECHNOLOGY?

[DIANA]
ABOUT 100 YEARS.

YOU SEE?

- ANOTHER CLOSE-UP!
- WHOA! WHOA!

WHY DIDN'T IT WORK
FOR US BEFORE?

I'D LIKE TO TRY AGAIN.

[DIANA] IT WILL BE CONTAINED
WITHIN CRYOGENICS.

[KRISTINE]
CRYOGENICS?

[DIANA]
SUPERCOOLED

FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
IN STORAGE.

YOU ALSO MENTIONED LIVING
QUARTERS FOR THE CREW.

HOW MANY ARE THERE
ON EACH SHIP?

IT VARIES.
SEVERAL THOUSAND.

CAN WE TALK
TO SOME OF THEM?

OF COURSE YOU CAN,
KRISTINE.

YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY
OF OPPORTUNITIES.

[BLOWING WHISTLE]

[PLAYING
STAR WARS THEME]

AREN'T YOU GLAD
YOU CALLED UP RICHLAND?

IF WE PLAY OUR CARDS RIGHT,
YOU'LL BE A SENIOR V.P. SOON.

[KRISTINE] /IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE
OUR FIRST CONTACT WITH THE VISITORS.

DID YOU SEE MIKE?

YES. HE SAID HELLO,
BUT WAS VERY BUSY.

I'M SURE HE IS. THIS IS
A BIG EVENT TO COVER.

THIS REFINERY IN LOS ANGELES
WILL BE THE FIRST U.S. PLANT

TO OFFICIALLY BEGIN WORK
WITH THE VISITORS.

IT WILL MANUFACTURE
THEIR SYNTHETIC CHEMICAL

FOR TRANSPORT
BACK TO SIRIUS.

THE RAW MATERIALS WILL BE
OUR CITIES' REFUSE.

THE VISITOR TECHNICIANS
ARE EMERGING,

A SCENE THAT WILL BE SOON
REPEATED SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES

IN CITIES
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

AND THERE'S DIANA.

I DIDN'T THINK
THEY'D SEND SO MANY.

I THINK THEY LOOK REAL
SNAPPY IN THOSE UNIFORMS.

- SHOOT.
- WHAT'S THE MATTER, CALEB?

"WHAT'S THE MATTER?"
LOOK AT ALL THOSE GUYS.

FIRST WE HAD TO FIGHT
YOU HONKIES FOR A JOB,

THEN IT WAS THE MEXICANS,
NOW THESE CREEPS.

THEY AIN'T EVEN
FROM THIS PLANET.

GEE, HOW MANY OF THEM
ARE THERE?

AND NOW A SECOND SHUTTLECRAFT
IS APPROACHING.

MIKE, HOW MANY OF THEM
ARE THERE?

[KRISTINE] THEN THE GROUP
OF VISITOR TECHNICIANS

MOVED INSIDE
THE HUGE REFINERY,

BEGINNING TO FAMILIARIZE
THEMSELVES...

I THOUGHT
YOU HAD TO WORK.

I QUIT.

HOW COME?

THEIR REGISTER
WAS SHORT.

THEY BLAMED ME.

DAN, YOU CAN'T KEEP
QUITTING ALL YOUR JOBS.

DAD, WOULD YOU JUST
GET OFF MY CASE?

[KRISTINE] ...WHO ARE
NATURALLY CURIOUS

ABOUT HIM
AND HIS FELLOW VISITORS.

MMM, THAT'S GOOD.

AFTER FIVE YEARS OF
ANATOMY, IT BETTER BE.

I MEANT THE MARKET.
IT'S REALLY SURGING UP.

I THINK WE'VE GOT
GOOD TIMES AHEAD.

YES, KRISTINE, MOST ALL
THE PLANTS WE'VE CHOSEN

ARE LOCATED ON THE
COASTLINES OF YOUR WORLD

TO MAKE CONVENIENT AND
ECONOMIC USE OF YOUR SEA WATER.

I THOUGHT IT WAS
A FASCINATING PARTY.

IT WAS OUR FIRST CLOSE ENCOUNTER
WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD E.T.s.

WASN'T ELEANOR
JUST IN HER GLORY?

[ROBERT]
WALLOWING, I'D SAY.

I AM PLEASED SHE
GRANTED US THE AUDIENCE.

I FELT NERVOUS
WHEN I FIRST MET HIM.

DID YOU NOTICE THAT HIS
HAND SEEMED VERY COOL?

SURE, I TRIED TO NOTICE
EVERYTHING I COULD.

LIKE WHAT?

[ROBERT] TOTALLY
AVOIDS COOKED FOODS.

ONLY ATE A FEW OF
THE RAW VEGETABLES.

OUTSIDE WE WERE BEING
EATEN BY MOSQUITOES.

HE WAS NOT.

I SAW YOU
TRYING TO TALK TO HIM.

SURE. I LEARNED
A LITTLE.

THEY'RE MONOGAMOUS.

- OH?
- YEAH.

WELL, THE FEMALE
WITH HIM, BARBARA,

SHE SAID THAT, UH,
SHE ISN'T HIS WIFE.

SHE DIDN'T TALK MUCH,
SEEMED REAL SHY.

HE TOLD ME THAT THEIR
PLANET'S MUCH LIKE EARTH.

HE SAID HE'S NO
ANTHROPOLOGIST,

BUT HE THOUGHT THAT THEIR
EVOLUTION WAS SIMILAR TO OURS.

IT WAS HARD TO TALK
WITH ARTHUR STROKING HIM.

[KATHLEEN] ARTHUR COULDN'T
HOLD A CANDLE TO HIS GOOD OLD WIFE.

THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE I
NOTICED. IT WAS REAL CURIOUS.

WHENEVER HE WALKED
PAST THE BIRD CAGE,

THEY WENT CRAZY.

THEY FLUTTERED LIKE MAD,
LIKE...

PANIC.

WELL, ANYWAY...

I THOUGHT STEVEN
WAS REALLY QUITE CHARMING.

OH, REALLY?

GOING TO RUN OFF
TO SIRIUS?

GET SERIOUS.

[HORN BLARING]

HEY! WATCH OUT WHERE
THE HELL YOU'RE GOING.

OH. EXCUSE. UH...

- HELP, PLEASE.
- HELP WHAT?

I AM JUST.

JUST WHAT?

YES.

GET OUT OF THE WAY.
DAMN STUPID ALIEN!

[KRISTINE] IN RESPONSE TO
OVERWHELMING QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS

BY YOUNG ADULTS
AROUND THE WORLD,

THE VISITORS'
SUPREME COMMANDER, JOHN,

HAS FORMED
THE VISITORS' FRIENDS.

THIS ORGANIZATION
IS OPEN TO ALL YOUNG ADULTS,

AGES 12 TO 20,

WHO ARE ANXIOUS TO GAIN
SPECIAL FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE

OF THE VISITORS,

TO RIDE IN SQUAD VEHICLES,

AND HAVE SPECIAL TOURS
OF THE MOTHERSHIPS.

VISITOR YOUTH LEADERS

WILL BE COMING
TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

OH, MY GOSH,
THERE HE IS.

HE IS THE SAME ONE
I SAW AT THE PLANT.

HE IS SUCH A FOX.

LOOKS LIKE A BOY
TO ME.

OH, MY GOSH,
HE'S LOOKING OVER HERE.

HE'S REALLY
SOMETHING SPECIAL.

JUST THINK
OF WHERE HE CAME FROM.

THINK OF IT.

HI THERE.

ARE YOU OK?

I AM JUST.

YEAH, WHAT?

JUST!

JUST...

JUST.

YES, JUST.

- JUST WHAT?
- HMPH!

DON'T LET IT GET YOU
SPAZZED. I'll HELP YOU OUT.

YES, HELP.

HELP TO GO...

TO THIS PLACE.

I'M JUST...

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO GO.

I'M JUST.

YOU'RE LOST.

LOST.

YES.

LOST.

ENGLISH...
NOT WELL TO ME.

LEARN ARABIC
FOR GOING THERE.

AND THEY SCREWED UP
AND SENT YOU TO L.A.?

YES...SCREWED.

L.A.'s NOT SO BAD. IT BEATS
FRESNO, LET ME TELL YOU.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

UH...WILLIAM.

HI. I'M HARMY.

THAT'S SHORT FOR
HARMONY. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

"CRYO...CRYOGENIC
TRANSFER UNIT."

WELL, COME ON, WILLY.
WE'LL GO FIND IT.

[STEVEN] THE PRESSURE'S
STILL NOT BALANCED.

MUST BE THE INNER SEAL THAT'S
BAD. SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO GO INSIDE.

EXCUSE ME.

IS THIS THE CRYOGENIC
TRANSFER SECTION?

YES. WILLIAM,
WHERE WERE YOU?

UH, I WAS...LOST.

SEE YOU LATER.

[STEVEN]
GET UP THERE.

YOU'LL BE WORKING
WITH THAT MAN.

[KRISTINE] SO YOU'RE PLEASED
WITH THE PROGRESS HERE, THEN?

[DIANA] IT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL
THE OTHER PLANTS AROUND THE WORLD.

SHORTLY WE'LL BEGIN OUR
SEMINARS FOR YOUR SCIENTISTS.

SOMETHING ELSE I'M
PLEASE WITH, TOO, KRISTINE.

IT'S YOU.

OF ALL THE JOURNALISTS
WE'VE MET,

MY PEOPLE SAY THEY FEEL
MOST COMFORTABLE WITH YOU.

AND SO DO I.

WELL...

UH, THANK YOU, DIANA.

WE'VE DONE RESEARCH THAT SHOWS
YOUR PEOPLE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU.

YOU HAVE?

YOU'RE TRUSTED,
RESPECTED, AND ATTRACTIVE...

QUALITIES
WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL

IN OUR NEW OFFICIAL
SPOKESWOMAN.

[ROBERT]
NO, QUINTON ISN'T HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING IN
HIS "CURRENT" BOX.

I'M NOT SURE
WHAT HE WAS WORKING ON.

HE HASN'T BEEN HERE
ALL DAY, NOT AT ALL.

YES, I TRIED AT HOME.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.

WHAT?

ITI1S?
YOU'RE SURE IT'S HIS CAR?

PRESS SECRETARY?

THEY SAID I COULD
CALL IT WHAT I WANTED.

YOU LIKE "SPOKESWOMAN" BETTER?

I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND
OF EITHER ONE.

YOU'RE JEALOUS.

YOU KNOW I'M NOT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WANT TO DO IT.

THEY WANT SOMEONE
THE PUBLIC TRUSTS.

AND I THINK IT'S AN
EXCELLENT CAREER MOVE.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR
OBJECTIVITY?

YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE SUCKING UP TO THEM?

I'M NOT SUCKING UP
TO ANYBODY!

DON'T YOU SEE IT'S THE
PERFECT OPPORTUNITY

TO GET
REALLY INSIDE STUFF?

EXCLUSIVE STUFF, MATERIAL
NO ONE ELSE HAS ACCESS TO.

I'M SURE TO GET
A BOOK OUT OF IT.

I'M GOING TO STAY
OBJECTIVE.

AFTER ALL, I'M ONE
OF US, NOT THEM.

ANY GOOD REPORTER WOULD
BE CRAZY NOT TO JUMP AT THIS.

I'D LIKE TO THINK I HAD
YOUR BACKING ON THIS, MIKE.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
I RESPECT YOU...

MORE THAN THAT.

I THINK YOU BETTER PUT THE
STEAKS BACK IN THE FREEZER.

WHAT?

OH, YEAH, TONIGHT'S A PROBLEM
'CAUSE DIANA WANTS TO MEET--

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

AAH!

[ALARM]

AAH! AAH!

CALEB!

LIQUID NITROGEN
BROKE THE INNER SEAL.

THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN GET
DOWN THERE AND GET TO HIM.

WILLIAM, STOP!

FOR GOD'S SAKE!

WILLIAM WENT IN THERE
AFTER CALEB.

IT'S 300 DEGREES
BELOW ZERO DOWN THERE.

THERE'S NO WAY
A HUMAN BEING COULD...

[MAN] OVER HERE!
BRING HIM OVER HERE!

WHERE ARE THE CULTURES,
RUTH?

THEY'RE NOT BACK
FROM PATHOLOGY.

THEY'RE RUNNING
WAY BEHIND.

I HEARD TWO KEY PEOPLE DIDN'T
SHOW UP TODAY. DIDN'T EVEN CALL.

- [TELEPHONE BUZZES]
- THAT'S ODD.

DR. TAYLOR.

BEN, IT'S JULIE. GET
DOWN TO E.R., STAT.

THEY JUST BROUGHT IN
YOUR FATHER.

DANIEL IS NOT
TAKING CARE OF ANYTHING.

ABRAHAM, HE'S ONLY 17.
DON'T BE SO HARD ON HIM.

DANIEL HAS BEEN THIS WAY
FOR YEARS.

HE'S NO GOOD IN SCHOOL,

HE HAS HARDLY ANY FRIENDS.

WELL, MAYBE THIS
VISITOR FRIENDS GROUP

WILL BE JUST THE THING
HE NEEDS.

HE JUST HASN'T FOUND
HIS NICHE YET, THAT'S ALL,

UNLIKE OTHERS
WE COULD MENTION.

SORRY I'M LATE.

YOU KEPT ME WAITING,
NAUGHTY BOY.

LITTLE PROBLEM
AT THE PLANT.

ARTHUR SAID
HE'D JOIN US IN A WHILE.

GOOD.

THAT'S THE SUPERVISOR'S
VEHICLE BELOW.

I UNDERSTAND
HE VISITS THERE A LOT.

SHE CAN BE CHARMING.

SO YOU GET TO VISIT YOUR
SON THIS AFTERNOON, HUH?

YEAH.

WHERE DOES HE LIVE?

IN A SMALL TOWN
OUTSIDE OF L.A.

[HORN HONKS]

DAD!
HEY, DAD! DAD!

WHO ARE YOU TODAY,
HUH?

FERNANDO VALENZUELA

OR STEVE SAX?

JUST SEAN DONOVAN.

COME SEE WHAT
JOSH HAS GOT.

HOW MANY VISITORS DOES IT
TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?

TELL ME.

NONE. THEY LIKE
THE LIGHTS OUT.

- HOW YOU DOING, JOSH?
- HI.

SEE, DAD?
CHECK IT OUT.

HE'S GOT
A SQUAD VEHICLE

AND THE ACTION FIGURE,
THE SUPREME COMMANDER,

- AND DIANA.
- [MIKE] OH.

HA...

WONDER IF THEY GET
A ROYALTY.

HE'S GOT A MOTHERSHIP.

I GOT THEM ALL.

[SEAN]
CAN I GET THEM, DAD?

MOM SAID WE DIDN'T
HAVE THE MONEY, BUT...

WELL, I'll ASK HER
ABOUT IT,

BUT IN THE MEANTIME...

[SEAN]
WHAT IS IT?

[MIKE] IT'S JUST SOMETHING I
PICKED UP OFF A SQUAD VEHICLE.

[SEAN]
A REAL SQUAD VEHICLE?

IT CAME FROM THE VISITORS
THEMSELVES?

GUY, CHECK IT OUT.

LET ME SEE IT.

IN A MINUTE.

HEY, YOU GUYS,
YOUR PIZZA'S READY.

OKAY, MOM.
YOU COMING IN, DAD?

IN A SECOND.

LOOK, MOM.
IT'S FROM A SQUAD--

YOUR DINNER'S
GETTING COLD.

SO...

WHAT'S THE MATTER NOW?

NOTHING. IT'S JUST
A LITTLE TOUGH

TRYING TO COMPETE WITH SOMEONE
WHO FLIES AROUND IN SPACESHIPS.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO,
GIVE UP MY JOB?

AND WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO...

SPROUT WINGS,

FLY HIM OFF
TO NEVER-NEVER LAND?

HOW ELSE
CAN I COMPETE...

WITH PIZZA?

WHY COMPETE?

WHY NOT DO SOMETHING
OF YOUR OWN?

WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO YOUR COLLEGE PLANS--

PLEASE.

DON'T START, OKAY?

OHH.

YOU GOT A TISSUE SAMPLE
FROM A VISITOR'S SKIN?

HOW?

WHEN THEY BROUGHT BEN'S
FATHER INTO EMERGENCY,

THERE WERE SOME FLAKES
OF SKIN ON HIS SHIRT

FROM THE VISITOR
WHO SAVED HIM.

[LAUGHING]

THAT'S TERRIFIC.

DR. METZ
WILL BE DELIGHTED.

MAYBE.

GOODNIGHT, JULIE.

RUTH...

RUTH, WHAT'S WRONG?

IT'S DR. METZ,
ISN'T IT?

YOU REALLY LOVE HIM,
DON'T YOU?

DOES HE KNOW?

I'M JUST A PIECE
OF LAB EQUIPMENT.

WELL...
STARTING TOMORROW,

WE'RE GOING TO GO
TO WORK ON HIM,

AND WE'LL
MAKE HIM SEE

THAT NOBEL'S NOT THE
ONLY PRIZE HE'S GOT.

YOU DARLING.

- GOODNIGHT, JULIE.
- GOODNIGHT.

A LITTLE SHAKY, POP?

I'll BE ALRIGHT.

JUST LET ME DO IT
BY MYSELF.

YOU GOT IT.

HEY, MY MAN BEN.
WHAT IT IS?

"WHAT IT IS?"

[LAUGHING]

IT'S BAD GRAMMAR,
MY BROTHER.

ELIAS, WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO STOP

THIS POOR MAN'S
RICHARD PRYOR ACT?

WHAT YOU TALKIN', MAN?

BROTHER,
THIS AIN'T NO ACT.

THIS HERE
IS PURE-D ELIAS.

WELL, IT'S PURE-D
SOMETHING.

LOOK, MAN, WE CAN'T
ALL OF US BE DR. KILDARE.

KNOW WHAT I MEAN...
UNCLE TOM?

COME ON, THAT UNCLE TOM STUFF
DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

YOU CAN BE ANYTHING
THAT YOU WANT TO BE,

BUT FIRST YOU GOTTA
GET RID OF THIS TAP DANCE

AND THIS
TWO-BIT CROOK ROUTINE

AND START TO GROW UP.

OH, YEAH?

YEAH, OKAY. WELL, ONCE
AGAIN WE THANK YOU...

MR. SIDNEY POITIER.

THANK YOU.

YO, POP,
HOW YOU DOING, MAN?

[ROBIN]
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS--

THE VISITOR YOUTH LEADER.

YOU SAW HIM?
ISN'T HE A HUNK?

I KNOW. I BROUGHT
THE PHONE OUTSIDE

SO 1 COULD
WATCH FOR HIM.

OH, WOULDN'T YOU
JUST DIE?

I KNOW AND DID YOU
SEE HIS EYES?

THEY'RE GORGEOUS.

SURE, I SAW THEM.

HE LOOKED AT ME QUITE
A WHILE THE OTHER DAY.

I MEAN, NOT JUST LOOKING, BUT
REAL MEANINGFULLY, YOU KNOW,

LIKE TWO SHIPS
PASSING IN THE NIGHT,

LIKE REALLY ROMANTIC.

I THINK HE
KIND OF LIKES ME,

- BUT HE'S JUST SHY.
- EXCUSE ME.

MY LIFE IS OVER.

- DID I STARTLE YOU?
- UH, NO. NO.

- I'M BRIAN.
- RIGHT.

UH, ROBIN.

- HI.
- HI.

AHEM. I'M SORRY.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

YOU ARE.
YOU ARE?

YEAH. IT'S NOT
EVERY DAY

I MEET SOMEBODY
FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

I NEVER
THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE.

IT MUST BE
JUST AS WEIRD FOR YOU--

NOT THAT YOU'RE WEIRD OR
ANYTHING. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN--

WHICH IS DANIEL'S HOME?

UH, IT'S THE ONE
OVER THERE ON...

ON THE RIGHT.

- THANKS.
- SURE.

[WHISPERING]
Oh, God.

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TAKE A WALK?

UM...OKAY.

- MAY I SEE THAT?
- SURE.

HEY, HERO!

WILLY!

HELLO, HARMONY.

EVERYBODY'S RAVING ABOUT
THE WAY YOU RESCUED CALEB.

THEY SAID YOUR FACE WAS
BLISTERED. YOU LOOK OKAY TO ME.

YOU WANT A BURGER?

NO.

DON'T YOU GUYS
EVER EAT?

SOMETIMES.

YOU GO TO MOVIES?

NO,

I DO NOT...YET.

WELL?
HMM?

[SIGH]

AH.

YOU ARE FUN?

WHAT?

FEELING BETTER--

FEELING FUN.

FINE.

FINE, YES.

- FINE?
- EH, I'M OKAY.

YEAH.

LOOK, UH...

- WILLIAM.
- WILLIAM, LOOK,

I'M SORRY I CALLED YOU
A STUPID ALIEN.

OH, NO, NO, NO.

HERE.

HUH?

THE WORLD
WAS SHOCKED TODAY

WHEN NOBEL PRIZE WINNER
DR. MORRIS JANKOWSKI

OF THE BRUSSELS BIOMEDICAL
INSTITUTE IN BELGIUM

HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE
TO REVEAL THE EXISTENCE

OF AN INTERNATIONAL
CONSPIRACY

AGAINST THE VISITORS.

IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION

WHEN DR. RUDOLPH METZ
IN CALIFORNIA

ASKED TO SPEAK WITH ME
ON WHAT HE CALLED

"URGENT,
CONFIDENTIAL MATTERS."

OTHER COLLEAGUES OF MINE

ARE ALSO BEING APPROACHED
BY SCIENTISTS--

PRIMARILY BIOMEDICAL AND
ANTHROPOLOGICAL SCIENTISTS--

FROM MANY NATIONS WHO APPARENTLY
ARE PART OF THIS INSIDIOUS CONSPIRACY.

[REPORTER]
WHAT ARE THEIR PLANS?

THEIR PLANS, QUITE SIMPLY,

ARE TO SEIZE CONTROL
OF SEVERAL MOTHERSHIPS

BELONGING
TO THE VISITORS.

BUT WHY?

THEY TRIED HARD
TO CONVINCE ME

THIS WAS TO PROTECT
THE HUMAN RACE,

OR TO KEEP SUCH POWERS FROM
THE MILITARY ON OUR PLANET.

I DO BELIEVE, HOWEVER,

THAT THEIR MOTIVATION
IS, BY FAR, MORE PERSONAL.

[TV ANCHOR] THEN JANKOWSKI
SIGNED HIS STATEMENT,

LISTING THOSE HE CLAIMS TRIED
TO BRING HIM INTO THIS CONSPIRACY.

WHEN WORD BEGAN TO SPREAD
OF THE JANKOWSKI STATEMENT,

THE INTERNATIONAL SCOPE
REVEALED ITSELF,

AS SCORES OF SCIENTISTS
AROUND THE WORLD

CAME FORWARD TO ADMIT
THEY HAD BEEN APPROACHED,

OR ACTUALLY CONFESSED

THAT THEY WERE PART
OF THE CONSPIRACY.

SEEN HERE
IS DR. JACQUES DUVIVIER,

ALSO A NOBEL LAUREATE,
PHYSICIAN,

AND LEADING BIOCHEMIST
IN FRANCE...

DAMN SCIENTISTS.

WHO WAS DETAINED
BY THE SURETE

AND HAS CONFESSED
TO HIS INVOLVEMENT,

NAMING OTHER SCIENTISTS
AS HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS.

IT'S A LIE,
A VICIOUS LIE.

YOU DON'T NEED A WARRANT.

SEARCH MY FILES.

THERE'S NOTHING.

YOU'LL FIND NOTHING.

WHAT'S THAT?

I NEVER SAW THAT.

NO.

IT'S NOT TRUE.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW THIS GOT THERE.

IT'S A LIE,
I TELL YOU.

AND MANY OTHER
SCIENTISTS...

QUINTON'S STILL MISSING?

AND A HALF-DOZEN
OTHERS.

THE POLICE DON'T HAVE
A CLUE WHAT'S HAPPENING.

THEY HAVE
SIMPLY VANISHED,

WHICH, SOME THINK,
LENDS CREDENCE

TO THE CHARGES
BROUGHT AGAINST THEM.

KRISTINE WALSH,

PRESS SECRETARY FOR VISITOR
SUPREME COMMANDER, JOHN,

HAD THIS TO SAY.

THE VISITORS WERE SHOCKED
TO LEARN OF THIS CONSPIRACY

AND FEARFUL OF THE CHAOS
WHICH COULD POSSIBLY RESULT.

NOT ONLY WOULD THEIR
OWN NEEDS BE IMPAIRED,

BUT ALL THE BENEFITS THEY PLAN TO
SHARE WITH US COULD BE ENDANGERED.

SCIENTIFIC SEMINARS PLANNED
FOR NEXT WEEK WILL BE POSTPONED.

AND BECAUSE
IT'S STILL TOO EARLY

TO DETERMINE HOW MANY
SCIENTISTS ARE INVOLVED,

THE U.N. HAS AGREED
TO VISITOR REQUESTS

THAT ALL SCIENTISTS
AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS

MUST REGISTER THEIR WHEREABOUTS
WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

COMPUTERS WILL BE USED

TO VERIFY
THEIR REGISTRATION.

DON'T GET SO WOUND UP.

NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN
TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY.

THEY'RE NOT DOCTORS
OR BIOLOGISTS

OR EVEN SCIENTISTS.
YOU'RE NOT INVOLVED.

ANYWAY, IT'S GOING TO PASS.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID
IN 1938

BACK IN BERLIN.

BUT THIS
IS DIFFERENT.

IS IT?

THE SUPREME COMMANDER
WANTS TO MAKE IT CLEAR

THAT WHILE HE'S SURE
ALL SCIENTISTS ALL OVER

AREN'T PART
OF THE CONSPIRACY,

IT'S DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN
WHICH OF THEM MAY NOT BE.

[TV ANCHOR] WHILE POLICE HAVE
SCOURED SCIENTIFIC FILES

FOR FACTS
ON THE CONSPIRACY,

STARTLING EVIDENCE
IS BEING FOUND

THAT MANY SCIENTISTS HAVE ACTUALLY
HAD MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS IN RESEARCH

WHICH THEY'VE SUPPRESSED.

SENATE MEDICAL AFFAIRS
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN RAYMOND BURKE

HAD THIS TO SAY.

YES, INDEED,
I DO HAVE EVIDENCE

THAT REVOLUTIONARY
CANCER TREATMENTS DO EXIST

AND HAVE EXISTED
FOR SOME TIME,

ALONG WITH
MANY OTHER BREAKTHROUGHS

WHICH APPARENTLY OUR
SCIENTIFIC FRIENDS KEPT QUITE ABOUT

AND HAVEN'T SHARED WITH US.

[REPORTER] WHY
WOULD THEY DO THAT?

I WON'T SPECULATE
EXCEPT TO SAY

THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY TO
BE MADE IN RESEARCH GRANTS.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE,

BUT DR. METZ
IS REALLY HURTING.

RUTH HAS COMPLETELY
DISAPPEARED.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

THEY CALLED
TO CANCEL DINNER.

OH, HONEY, YOU MUST
BE REALLY DISAP--

POINTED.

YEAH.

YOU THINK YOU'LL STILL
GET THEIR ACCOUNT?

I DON'T THINK SO.

THEY WERE...

TOO POLITE,
YOU KNOW?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. HOW
CAN THEY TREAT YOU LIKE THAT?

DENNY...

DO YOU THINK
IT'S ME?

THEY KNOW THAT
I'M A BIOCHEMIST

AND A MED STUDENT.

NO. HOW COULD
IT BE YOU?

WELL, YOU, UH...

SEEM A LITTLE
TOO POLITE.

YEAH. I SAW
THIS BEFORE. SO?

SOMETHING STRUCK ME FUNNY
WHEN I SAW THIS YESTERDAY,

BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. ALL NIGHT I'M
TRYING TO SLEEP THEN SUDDENLY IT HITS ME.

NOW LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S A TAPE WE SHOT OF HIM
AT THE SCIENCE FAIR LAST YEAR.

REMEMBER I HAD HIM
AUTOGRAPH THAT BOOK?

YEAH.

[TONY]
DON'T YOU SEE, MIKE?

HE USED
HIS RIGHT HAND.

AND YESTERDAY... HE USED HIS
LEFT HAND. SO HE'S AMBIDEXTROUS?

NO. NO, HE'S NOT,

AND NEITHER
IS DUVIVIER.

I CHECKED.

NO, MIKE.

UNTIL THIS WEEK, THEY
WERE BOTH RIGHT-HANDED.

SOMETHING VERY STRANGE
IS GOING ON HERE.

[ROBIN]
COME ON.

[EXPLOSION SOUND EFFECT]

I'M NOT
VERY GOOD AT THIS.

[CHUCKLING]

[ROBIN] BRIAN... WHAT'S IT
LIKE OUT THERE?

[BRIAN]
IT'S MAGNIFICENT.

VERY PEACEFUL.

WHICH ONE'S YOURS?

UM...

RIGHT THERE.
IT'S THE BRIGHTEST.

IT'S IN A CONSTELLATION
YOU CALL CANIS MAJOR.

IT MUST BE STRANGE TO
BE SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME.

YEAH, IT IS.

BUT NEW FRIENDS
MAKE IT EASIER.

I'M GLAD.

HI, ROBIN.

- DANIEL.
- DANNY.

HOW'S YOUR FATHER?

HE'S FINE.

YOU KNOW, UH...

IT MUST BE PRETTY TOUGH
NOWADAYS, BEING A SCIENTIST,

ESPECIALLY
AN ANTHROPOLOGIST.

YEAH.

- HI, DANIEL.
- HI. HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. HER FATHER'S AN
ANTHROPOLOGIST, HUH?

- YOU DIDN'T KNOW?
- NO. I HAD NO IDEA.

YEAH.

LOOK, MIKE, WOULDN'T IT BE A GOOD
IDEA TO JUST TAKE THE SQUAD VEHICLE?

[MIKE] THIS WAY, THEY WON'T KNOW
WE'RE ON BOARD. WE'VE A BETTER CHANCE

OF FINDING OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON.

OKAY.

THEY GOT THE CHEMICAL
LOADED ON BOARD.

GET READY.

NOW.

UHH!

AGH!

MIKE.

COME ON. I CAN'T COME OUT.

I CAN'T GET
MY FOOT UP.

COME ON.
I GOT YOU.

COME ON.

DAMN.

[WOMAN'S VOICE]
TANKER UNIT 14,

STAND BY
FOR VENTING OPERATION.

TANKER UNIT 14,

STAND BY
FOR VENTING OPERATION.

READY?

OPEN THE FLOW.

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME--

BRINGING ALL THESE CHEMICALS
UP HERE AND DUMPING THEM OUT.

[WOMAN'S VOICE] TANKER
ARRIVAL SCHEDULE IS AS FOLLOWS--

FROM LOS ANGELES,
AT 2100 HOURS.

FROM SANTA BARBARA,
AT 2114 AND 2142 HOURS.

FROM SAN DIEGO AT 2150,
2200, AND 2215 HOURS.

ALL TANKER UNITS
CHECK WITH THE READY ROOM

FOR LATE CHANGES
IN ASSIGNMENTS.

ALL TANKER UNITS
CHECK WITH THE READY ROOM

FOR LATE CHANGES
IN ASSIGNMENTS.

[STEVEN] EVERY CONTINENT WILL SOON
BE UNDER OUR COMPLETE DOMINATION.

YOU MUST BE PLEASED.

[DIANA]
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY

THAT IT PLEASES ME
TO SERVE OUR LEADER

WITH WHATEVER
MINOR TALENTS I POSSESS.

JOHN SAID
OUR LEADER'S PLEASED

WITH YOUR
CONVERSION PROCESS.

YES, BUT YOU KNOW HOW
IMPATIENT OUR LEADER IS.

[STEVEN]
EVEN WITH YOU?

I THOUGHT THAT,

GIVEN THE INTIMACY

OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM,

HE MIGHT...

BE VERY CAREFUL,
STEVEN.

[STEVEN] I JUST HATE TO SEE
HIM MAKE YOU SO DISTRESSED.

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT MY
CONVERSION PROCESS IS STILL LIMITED.

IT DOESN'T WORK THE SAME
ON EVERY HUMAN SUBJECT.

NO. BUT WHEN IT DOES WORK,
AS WITH DUVIVIER AND JANKOWSKI,

IT'S REMARKABLE.

YES, IT IS.

THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE
A CONSPIRACY EXISTS,

OR EVEN THAT
THEY'RE PART OF IT.

[DIANA]
THE EVIDENCE WE PLANTED

REINFORCES
THEIR BELIEFS.

THE OPERATION
IS WORKING PERFECTLY.

SCIENTISTS
ARE BEING OSTRACIZED,

DISORGANIZED
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

[DIANA] THE PROBLEM
IS, OUR LEADER THEN SAYS

"WHY NOT CONVERT
THEM ALL."

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
THAT THE HUMAN WILL

IS MUCH TOUGHER
THAN WE BARGAINED FOR.

TO CONVERT THEM ALL
WOULD TAKE FOREVER.

HOWEVER, WE WILL CONTINUE
TO REFINE THE PROCESS.

YES. I'M SURE YOU WILL,
SUCCESSFULLY.

WE MUST FIND THE MOST
EFFECTIVE METHODS

TO BE USED
AGAINST THEM.

[STEVEN] OUR LEADER
COULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN ANYONE

WHO COULD DO A BETTER JOB
THAN YOU.

PARTICULARLY GIVEN
THE SUCCESS

OF YOUR PREVIOUS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

[DIANA] WELL, THE
LONGER WE CAN KEEP

THE PUBLIC'S
CONFIDENCE...

[GROWLING]

[ALARM SOUNDS]

I'M TIRED
OF ALL THESE DRILLS.

[WOMAN'S VOICE] EMERGENCY
SITUATION ON LEVEL 73.

ALL UNITS
TO STANDBY ALERT.

ALL UNITS
TO STANDBY ALERT.

EMERGENCY SITUATION
ON LEVEL 73.

ALL UNITS
TO STANDBY ALERT.

OKAY, EVERYBODY, LET'S GO.
WE GOT A HOT ONE.

ALL THREE CAMERAS.

HELLO, NEW YORK?
OKAY, LISTEN UP.

WE'RE GOING TO DO
AN INTERRUPT.

ALERT ALL THE AFFILIATES--
FULL NETWORK.

YES, DAMN RIGHT.

MIKE DONOVAN'S GOT A TAPE
TO KNOCK OUR SOCKS OFF.

WE'RE FEEDING BARS AND TONE
RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW,
IT'S LEAVING HERE.

CHECK PATCHING.

STAND BY THAT TAPE.

WE'RE READY.

WHY WOULD THEY TAKE THAT
CHEMICAL TO THE MOTHERSHIP

AND JUST DUMP IT
INTO THE AIR?

HERE THEY COME.

GET DOUBLE MIKES
ON THEM RIGHT NOW.

I'll DO THE SETUP,
INTRO YOU,

AND WE'LL ROLL THE TAPE.
YOU TELL THEM WHAT YOU SAW.

WE'VE GOT 30 SECONDS.
GIVE ME LIGHTS NOW.

COMING UP.

CAMERA ONE,
I'll START WITH TWO.

YOU OKAY, MIKE?

10 SECONDS.

QUIET ON THE LINE!

LET'S GET A DOCTOR
ON STANDBY FOR MIKE.

5 SECONDS,
4..3...2..1.

NEW YORK,
TAKE YOUR SLIDE.

AND CUE ANNOUNCE.

[ANNOUNCER] THE FOLLOWING IS A
SPECIAL REPORT FROM LOS ANGELES.

TAKE TWO.
CUE CLETE.

AN ASTONISHING
OCCURRENCE

JUST TOOK PLACE ABOARD
THE MOTHERSHIP JUST OFF--

[STATIC]

WHAT THE HELL
HAPPENED?

HOLD ON!
PROBLEM ON THE LINE.

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON?

THEY WHAT?

- WE'VE LOST MA BELL.
- WE'VE WHAT?

SOMEBODY'S PULLED AT&T
OUT FROM UNDER US.

THEY PULLED THE PLUG.

THE WHOLE DAMN NETWORK'S
OFF THE AIR.

SO ARE BOTH
THE OTHERS.

[ASSISTANT DIRECTOR]
WHAT'S THAT, BERT?

HELLO?
HELLO?

AND NOW
I'VE LOST NEW YORK.

[WOMAN]
NO, I CANNOT PATCH.

HERE'S SOMETHING.

THIS IS KRISTINE WALSH.

THE VISITORS'
SUPREME COMMANDER,

JOHN, IS HERE TO MAKE
A STATEMENT.

MY FRIENDS
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,

FIRST, I MUST THANK

THE LEADERS OF EACH
OF YOUR COUNTRIES

WHO HAVE,
IN THE INTERESTS OF PEACE,

TURNED OVER ALL THEIR BROADCASTING
FACILITIES TO US IN THIS CRISIS.

I'M SAD TO SAY THERE'S BEEN
A CAREFULLY COORDINATED

AND VIOLENT ATTEMPT BY
THE CONSPIRACY OF SCIENTISTS

TO COMMANDEER CONTROL
OF OUR FACILITIES

AT KEY LOCATIONS
AROUND THE WORLD.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

THIS IS DUPRE.

- HAVE WE BEEN HIT?
- TOKYO AND CAIRO...

OH, THANK GOODNESS.
DAMN SCIENTISTS.

[JOHN] AT LEAST
TWO DOZEN OTHER PLACES

SUFFERED
SIMILAR ASSAULTS.

THE LOSS OF LIFE
HAS BEEN ENORMOUS.

I DON'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.

BELIEVE IT.

[JOHN] THOUSANDS
HAVE BEEN WOUNDED,

AND WE'RE FEARFUL
THERE WILL BE MORE ATTACKS.

I'M GOING
TO THE HOSPITAL.

[JOHN] THE OUTBREAK IS SO
WIDESPREAD AND SO DANGEROUS

THAT MOST CIVILIAN MEMBERS
OF YOUR GOVERNMENTS

HAVE ASKED US
FOR PROTECTION,

WHICH WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY
TO PROVIDE.

THEY'RE SAFE
ABOARD OUR SHIPS.

WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE
OF THEM.

I'M ALSO VERY SORRY
TO REPORT THIS MAN,

IN WHOM WE HAD PLACED
CONSIDERABLE TRUST,

MICHAEL DONOVAN
OF THE UNITED STATES,

PROVED TO BE
THE BIGGEST TRAITOR--

NO!

IT ISN'T TRUE!

[JOHN] HE'S CONSIDERED
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

WHERE'S MY TAPE?

THEY'RE SETTING UP
TO COPY IT RIGHT NOW.

MAN, WE'RE
IN BIG TROUBLE.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

GET GOING.
MIKE! MIKE, YOUR TAPE!

YOUR NATIONAL LEADERS
HAVE SUGGESTED

THAT A STATE
OF MARTIAL LAW

WILL BE MOST HELPFUL
AT THIS TIME.

AND WE AGREE.
POLICE AT LOCAL LEVELS

WILL WORK WITH OUR
VISITOR PATROLS.

WE WILL ALSO ASK THE HELP

OF ALL OUR VISITOR
FRIENDS UNITS EVERYWHERE.

WE ANTICIPATE THIS CRISIS

WILL PASS
RELATIVELY QUICKLY.

IN THE MEANTIME, FRIENDS,

I AND MY FELLOW VISITORS WILL
DO OUR BEST TO SEE YOU THROUGH IT

AND MAINTAIN CONTROL.

THERE WILL BE MORE
ANNOUNCEMENTS LATER.

GOT TO GO.

IT'LL PASS.

YOU HEARD WHAT
HE SAID. RIGHT, DAD?

[KRISTINE] EVERYWHERE AROUND
THE NATION AND THE WORLD,

VISITORS ARE KEEPING ORDER
AND MAKING FRIENDS.

POLICE AND MILITARY FORCES
IN EACH COUNTRY

ARE COOPERATING FULLY.

THE CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
STILL EXITS, HOWEVER,

FROM THE GROUP
OF TERRORISTS

WHO BROUGHT ABOUT THE NEED
FOR MARTIAL LAW BY THEIR ASSAULTS.

THESE ATTACKS
BY SCIENTIST CONSPIRATORS

ARE STILL CONTINUING
SPORADICALLY AND VIOLENTLY

AROUND THE WORLD.

IN BUENOS AIRES
LAST NIGHT...

WE'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY NOT TO
HAVE THAT HAPPEN AT OUR PLANT.

[KRISTINE] SEVERAL
CRYOGENIC STORAGE TANKS

CONTAINING THE SYNTHETIC
CHEMICAL WERE DAMAGED,

BUT HEROIC EFFORTS
BY THE VISITOR TECHNICIANS

SAVED THEM AND THE LIVES
OF 15 WORKERS.

HOW COULD THEY BE
FAKING ALL THESE SCENES?

THE MOVIES DO IT
ALL THE TIME.

[KRISTINE] CURFEW AT 8:00 EACH
EVENING STILL MUST BE MAINTAINED.

IT'S UNFAIR.

I WANNA GO OUT
SOME NIGHTS.

WHY? DANIEL
COMES BY HERE.

IT ISN'T DANIEL
I WANT TO SEE.

- WHO, ROBIN?
- NEVER MIND.

[KRISTINE] REMINDED OF THE
NEED TO STAY IN THEIR LOCALE.

[CLICK]

[MIKE] OF COURSE THE MILITARY
ARE COOPERATING FULLY.

THEY'RE ALL UNDER
HOUSE ARREST.

MRS. MAXWELL.

HELLO, SANCHO.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I CAN'T WORK FOR YOU
NO MORE.

WHY NOT?

IT'S...

WELL, TELL ME.

IT'S THE OTHER PEOPLE
I WORK FOR.

THEY KNOW I WORK FOR YOU.
THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

WHY SHOULD
THE OTHER PEOPLE...

BECAUSE MY HUSBAND
IS A SCIENTIST?

THEY SAY I COULD EITHER
WORK FOR THEM OR FOR YOU.

MY FAMILY, THEY--

THAT'S OKAY.

NEVER MIND.
I UNDERSTAND.

POLLY, ARE YOU HURT?

- WHAT HAPPENED?
- I GOT IN A FIGHT.

A BUNCH OF JERKOS BEAT UP ON ME
BECAUSE MY PROJECT WON THE SCIENCE FAIR.

THEY WRECKED IT, SAID I WAS
JUST A DIRTY LITTLE SCIENTIST'S KID.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THEM
WHEN I GOT THROUGH.

HOW MANY WERE THERE?

FOUR.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TEACHERS,
DIDN'T THEY SEE?

ONE DID, BUT HE JUST
WALKED THE OTHER WAY.

I GUESS I BETTER
FIX MY BIKE.

THANKS, MR. BERNSTEIN.

ARE YOU GOING TO
MANHATTAN TO YOUR FOLKS?

NO. I--I CAN'T GET
THROUGH TO THEM.

IT'S BETTER IF YOU
DON'T KNOW ANYWAY.

I'll, UH...

I'll GET
THE REST LATER.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE
OVERREACTING SLIGHTLY?

NO. I DON'T WANT YOU LOSING
MORE ACCOUNTS BECAUSE OF ME.

- [DENNY] LOOK, WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
- NO, WE DON'T!

AND THAT'S
THE REALLY NASTY PART.

THEY'RE ALWAYS
SO POLITE,

BUT WE KNOW, DON'T WE?

ANYWAY, UH...

ANOTHER BIOCHEMIST,
PHYLLIS, REMEMBER HER?

WELL, UH...

SHE DIDN'T
SHOW TODAY,

AND NOBODY'S
HEARD FROM HER.

JUST LIKE RUTH
AND ALL THE OTHERS.

[DENNY] MAYBE SHE
JUST WENT AWAY.

JUST LIKE THIS.

MAYBE SHE WAS TAKEN.

THERE'S NO TRUTH
TO THOSE RUMORS.

SHALL I STAY THEN?

I THINK YOU SHOULD DO
WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY.

SEE YOU, DENNY.

AAH!

OH, ROBERT!

OH!

[SHOUTING]

[WHOOPING AND SHOUTING]

AND THERE WERE EVEN FEWER
INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE TODAY.

IT SEEMS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE

ARE STARTING TO REPORT IN
TO AUTHORITIES

WHEN THEY SUSPECT SOMEONE
MIGHT BE INVOLVED WITH A CONSPIRACY.

THIS EARLY WARNING
WILL SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES.

THE SUPREME COMMANDER
URGES YOU--

I'M SO TIRED OF HER FACE AND ONLY
HEARING ONE SIDE OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

WELL, THE TRUTH
IS THE TRUTH.

THEN WHY NOT LET
SOME OTHERS SAY IT?

DON'T YOU THINK
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH?

NO.

I DO.

COME ON, STANLEY.

THERE'S THE NEWSPAPER,
TOO, YOU KNOW.

YEAH, AND IT SAYS
EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAYS.

SOMETIMES
IT'S WORD FOR WORD.

IT'S NOT JUST THAT.
IT'S EVERYTHING.

LOOK AT THESE BILLS. THE
PRICE IS UP ON EVERYTHING.

TRY TO MAKE A DAMN LONG DISTANCE
CALL. YOU NEED A SPECIAL PERMIT.

MOST TIMES
YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH.

[LYNN] YOU ALWAYS SAID
THIS WOULD PASS.

IT HAD BETTER HURRY UP
BEFORE WE SINK.

I WANT THINGS BACK
THE WAY THEY WERE.

WHERE'S DANIEL?

NOT LOOKING
FOR A JOB, I'M SURE.

STANLEY.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE
MORE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

- WHAT, IN MY OWN HOUSE?
- BUT HE LIVES HERE.

YOU KNOW HOW TOTALLY
INVOLVED HE IS WITH THEM.

ALRIGHT. I KNOW THAT.
BUT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE--

I HAVE HEARD STORIES--

RUMORS.

STORIES ABOUT HOW
SOME MEMBER OF HIS GROUP

HAD ACTUALLY--

WHAT--INFORMED?

ON HIS OWN PARENTS.

AND THEY DISAPPEARED.

WELL, LYNN, I HARDLY THINK
THAT DAN--

WELL, I HARDLY
THINK SO, TOO, BUT...

I MEAN, WHAT'S
TO INFORM ON?

WE'RE NOT SCIENTISTS. IT'S
NOT LIKE I SAID ANYTHING.

BUT YOU WERE
VERY CRITICAL

OF HER AND OF THEM, OF
THE NEWSPAPERS, EVERYTHING.

[WHISPERING]
Of him.

HE SHOULDN'T DRINK
THAT MUCH.

BUT THAT'S NOT
ALL YOU SAID.

ALL I SAID WAS
I WAS TIRED OF HEARING...

ONE SIDE
OF THE NEWS--THEIR SIDE.

WELL...

I MEANT...

HEARING ONLY
ONE OPINION.

NO, NOT THAT.

I MEANT...

YOU DON'T REALLY THINK
HE'D CALL THEM, DO YOU?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN,
DANIEL?

JUST IN THE BATHROOM.

[WHISPERING]
You think he's lying?

I DON'T WANNA GO
TO THE MOUNTAINS.

I HATE OUR PLACE
THERE.

- PLEASE, DAD?
- GET IN THE CAR.

ROBIN, TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
TOO MANY THINGS ARE HAPPENING.

A SCIENTIST YOUR FATHER
WORKS WITH

WAS ARRESTED
FOR CONSPIRACY.

POLLY GOT BEATEN UP
AT SCHOOL.

QUINTON IS STILL MISSING.

WHY DON'T WE
STAY AND FIGHT?

IT'S NOT THAT EASY, POL.

OH, GOD.
DADDY IS NO CONSPIRATOR.

NEITHER WERE THEY!

GET IN THE CAR.

ALL MY FRIENDS
ARE HERE.

ESPECIALLY ONES
IN UNIFORM.

SHUT UP, POLLY.

PLEASE. I CAN STAY
WITH KAREN AND HER FAMILY.

RIGHT NOW, ROBIN.
PLEASE.

[STARTS ENGINE]

IT'S ALRIGHT.

I THINK.

ALRIGHT. LOOK,
WE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING--

TOTALITARIAN SUPPRESSION
OF THE TRUTH.

NOT ONLY ON TELEVISION,

BUT THEY'VE GOT
THE PAPERS, TOO.

WE'RE UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

AND PARANOIA.

EVERYONE I KNOW,
ESPECIALLY SCIENTISTS,

ARE GETTING
SCARED TO DEATH.

OR DISAPPEARING.

LIKE MY PARTNER
OR ANY OTHER COP

WHO REFUSED TO GO ALONG
WITH THE VISITORS

WHEN THEY REQUESTED WE
HELP THEM MAINTAIN ORDER.

YESTERDAY THEY TOOK
ANOTHER DOCTOR AND HIS FAMILY

FROM MY BUILDING.

WHY ARE THEY SO ANXIOUS TO
ARREST SO MANY SCIENTISTS?

[JULIET] THEY MUST THINK
WE'RE A THREAT,

THAT WE MIGHT FIND
A WAY TO STOP THEM.

THERE'S NO WAY TO STOP THEM.
THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM.

NO. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY.

THERE IS.

WELL, WE ORGANIZE.

LOOK, ANY COMPLEX STRUCTURE,
LIKE OUR BODIES, FOR EXAMPLE,

STARTS
WITH INDIVIDUAL CELLS.

THE CELLS WILL REPRODUCE,
EXPAND THEMSELVES,

AND JOIN WITH OTHERS.

THAT'S LOVELY
IN BIOLOGY, BUT--

LISTEN, BRAD!

I--I'M SORRY.

I KNOW THAT
WE'RE EMBRYONIC.

THERE'S ONLY
A HANDFUL OF US.

BUT YOU CAN BE SURE, WE'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONES HUDDLED IN THE DARK.

I KNOW THERE ARE
OTHERS LIKE US,

ACROSS AMERICA,
AROUND THE WORLD.

WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES
WHO WANT TO FIGHT THIS.

SHE'S RIGHT.

[JULIET]
WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO

IS FIND THE OTHERS
WHO FEEL LIKE WE DO.

THEN WE ALL LOOK
FOR MORE AND MORE.

WE NEED EQUIPMENT
FOR A LAB,

COMMUNICATION,
ALL OF THAT.

- AND A HEADQUARTERS.
- [JULIET] YEAH.

WE SHOULD FIND OUT WHO'S
CLOSEST TO THE VISITORS

AND GET THEM
ON OUR SIDE.

LIKE THAT KRISTINE...

WALSH! YES.

SHE'S SURELY
ON THE INSIDE.

MAYBE TOO MUCH
ON THE INSIDE.

ONE OF US
SHOULD CONTACT HER.

- [MAN] YES.
- YES.

I'll FIND HER

AND IF WE CAN TRUST HER.

LET'S MEET HERE
THURSDAY NIGHT.

- FINE.
- SOUNDS GOOD.

EVERYBODY HAS TO BRING
AT LEAST FOUR OTHERS.

HOW ABOUT THAT?
AGREED?

- AGREED.
- AGREED.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

IS THAT YOU,
UNCLE PEDRO?

UNCLE PEDRO?

IT IS YOU.
BUENOS NOCHES.

TONY, CUT THE--

WE'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE
WITH THE PHONE. UNDERSTAND?

TROUBLE WITH THE PHONE.

THEN YOU MUST BE
ALL TAPPED OUT.

YOU GOT IT, UNCLE.

THE REPAIRMEN EVEN CAME TO CHECK
THINGS OUT. A WHOLE LOT OF THEM.

SMELLED YOUR COOKING.

WOULD THEY LIKE
YOUR BURRITO.

YEAH,
I'M SURE THEY WOULD.

[TONY] YEAH, BUT I LIKE ITALIAN
FOOD MUCH BETTER, THOUGH, REMEMBER?

YEAH. YEAH, I REMEMBER.

DON'T LET ME KEEP YOU
STANDING THERE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE TO RUN.
GOOD LUCK.

[KATHLEEN]
ANOTHER ONE.

[POLLY] HOW COME THEY
WANT TO KEEP US IN THE CITY?

[KATHLEEN]
EASIER TO FIND US.

[POLLY]
WHY'S THAT IMPORTANT?

WE'RE NOT SURE, POL,
BUT IT IS.

[MAN] STOP HIM!

HALT!

[MAN] GET HIM!

ANOTHER SCIENTIST?

NO, BUT HE WAS HELPING ONE
RUN THE ROADBLOCK.

HE GETS TO SHARE
THEIR TREATMENT.

EASY, BOB.
HE'S WOUNDED.

IT'S HIS FAULT.

BREAK THE LAW,
TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES.

- [OFFICER 1] MAN, THIS IS DIFFERENT.
- [OFFICER 2] IT AIN'T!

A CROOK'S A CROOK.

AIN'T NOTHING CHANGED

EXCEPT THE GUYS
WHO GIVE THE ORDERS.

HOW WILL WE
GET THROUGH HERE?

- WILL WE FIGHT?
- NO.

NOW WHERE WILL WE GO?

- [POLLY] WHO'S GOING TO HELP US?
-1 DON'T KNOW.

I DO.

TURN THE CAR AROUND.

THE BIG, BAD DOCTOR
NEEDS MY HELP, HUH?

HOW COME?

YOU'VE CONTACTS
ON THE STREET.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT,
I DO.

AIN'T YOU ALWAYS
PUTTING DOWN THE STREETS?

YEAH, BUT TIMES
HAVE CHANGED.

YEAH, WELL,
THE STREETS AIN'T.

THEY AIN'T CHANGED
A BIT.

THERE'S JUST ANOTHER MAN
OUT THERE TO BE THE MAN.

THE STREETS ARE GETTING
A HELL OF A LOT BETTER.

DUDE CAN MAKE A WHOLE
LOT OF MONEY THERE NOW.

BLACK MARKET.

YOU OUGHT TO PARDON
THE EXPRESSION, BROTHER.

ANY IDEA HOW MUCH FRESH
FRUIT'S GOING FOR THESE DAYS?

AND BEEF? I MAKE MORE
SELLING HAMBURGER

THAN I DID
SELLING REEFER.

KEEP DOING
ALL YOU WANT,

BUT A GROUP OF US IS
TRYING TO FIGHT THIS THING.

IT DON'T AFFECT ME,
EXCEPT TO LINE MY POCKETS.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WRONG.

SAYS WHO?

I NEED YOUR HELP.

WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN I NEEDED YOURS?

I WAS ALWAYS THERE
FOR YOU.

YEAH, EXCEPT A LITTLE
UNAPPROACHABLE.

THE GOLDEN BOY.

MAN, THAT'S ONLY
IN YOUR HEAD.

IF I HEARD IT ONCE, I
HEARD IT A THOUSAND TIMES.

"WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE
BROTHER BENJAMIN, THE DOCTOR?"

NOW YOU NEED MY HELP?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, I'D SURE LIKE TO,

BUT I GOT TO GO
TO THE MEDICAL LIBRARY

AND DO MY STUDYING.

I'll CATCH YOU LATER,
BROTHER.

[SQUEAKING]

LYNN AND STANLEY
NEVER USE THIS PLACE.

IT'S JUST FOR STORAGE.

DAD IT'S GROSS. WE CAN'T
LIVE HERE. IT'S FILTHY.

WE CAN CLEAN IT.

- NO WAY IT'S EVER--
- ROBIN, THAT'S ENOUGH.

IT'S FINE, ABRAHAM.
THANK YOU.

FORGIVE MY DAUGHTER'S--

IT'S ALRIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND.

[STANLEY]
I'M NOT SURE I DO.

FATHER, CAN I TALK
TO YOU OUTSIDE?

I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE
YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE.

THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO.

THEIR HOUSE
IS BEING WATCHED NOW.

AND SO IS OURS BY DANIEL.

TELL THEM WE'RE SORRY.

STANLEY,
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY HAVE TO STAY.
THEY NEED A PLACE TO HIDE.

AND WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE THE FATHER
IS A SCIENTIST.

AND THEREFORE SUSPECT
AND A FUGITIVE I TAKE IT,

WHICH MAKES THEM
DOUBLY DANGEROUS.

THEY HAVE TO STAY.

JUST GET THEM OUT OF HERE.

- I WON'T.
- THEN I WILL.

NO, YOU WON'T!

WE HAD TO PUT YOU
IN A SUITCASE.

IN A SUITCASE.
YOU WERE 8 MONTHS OLD.

THAT'S HOW
WE SMUGGLED YOU OUT.

I KNOW THE STORY.

NO, YOU DON'T.

YOU DON'T.

YOUR MOTHER,
SHALOM,

YOUR MOTHER DIDN'T HAVE A
HEART ATTACK IN THE BOXCAR.

SHE MADE IT WITH ME
TO THE CAMP.

I CAN STILL SEE HER

STANDING NAKED
IN THE FREEZING COLD.

HER BEAUTIFUL BLACK HAIR
WAS GONE.

THEY HAD
SHAVED HER HEAD.

I CAN STILL SEE HER

WAVING TO ME
AS THEY MARCHED HER OFF

WITH THE OTHERS
TO THE SHOWERS...

THE SHOWERS
WITH NO WATER.

PERHAPS IF SOMEBODY HAD
GIVEN US A PLACE TO HIDE...

DON'T YOU SEE, STANLEY?

THEY HAVE TO STAY,

OR ELSE WE HAVEN'T
LEARNED A THING.

MIKE.

MY GOD, YOU SCARED
THE HELL OUT OF ME.

I'VE BEEN SO WORRIED
FOR YOU.

I'VE BEEN WORRIED
FOR ME, TOO.

WHY ARE THEY SO HOT
TO CAPTURE YOU?

BECAUSE I'VE SEEN
THEIR FACES.

WHAT?

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,
DO YOU?

WELL, IT'S SO INCREDIBLE--

REPTILIAN WITH TONGUES
THAT--

IT'S ALL TRUE.
I'VE SEEN IT.

I REALLY DO BELIEVE YOU THINK
YOU'VE SEEN IT.

THINK?

DAMN IT.

I WORK SO CLOSELY WITH
THESE PEOPLE, IT'S HARD TO...

BE OBJECTIVE.

THIS IS
A WASTE OF TIME.

- DON'T LEAVE YET.
- WHY?

IF 1 COULD SEE
THE TAPE YOU SHOT...

IT'S HIDDEN.

MIKE, LISTEN...

WE STARTED THIS TOGETHER,

AND IT'S POSSIBLE
YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE I DID GET CLOSER
TO THEM THAN I SHOULD.

IT'S FUNNY.

YOU'RE THE ONE I ALWAYS
WANTED TO BE CLOSER TO.

YOU'VE GOT A FUNNY WAY
OF SHOWING IT.

I'D REALLY LIKE
ANOTHER CHANCE.

AAH!

THANKS.

AAH!

HEY.

DANNY.

YOU SCARED ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHEN EVERYBODY WENT
TO SLEEP, I SNUCK OUT.

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, BUT I COULDN'T
STAND YOUR POOL HOUSE ANOTHER MINUTE.

WAIT. OUR POOL HOUSE?

IT'S TOO SMALL FOR
ONE OF US, BUT FIVE?

IT'S TOTALLY
OUTRAGEOUS.

YOU'VE BEEN
DRINKING.

YEAH.

WITH BRIAN?

HE WAS THERE.

HE DOESN'T DRINK.

I DON'T THINK
HE CAN HOLD IT.

DID HE ASK ABOUT ME?

NO. HE SUPPOSED TO?

WELL,
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT.

WELL, NOT TONIGHT,
HE DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW,
I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU.

YOU LOOK VERY PRETTY.

OTHER NIGHTS, THOUGH?

WHAT?

HE ASKS ABOUT ME
OTHER NIGHTS?

YEAH, WELL, SOMETIMES.
YEAH, I GUESS.

HE WONDERED
WHERE YOU WENT.

SO WE BOTH DID.

ME, ESPECIALLY,

TILL I FOUND OUT
YOU WERE IN MY POOL HOUSE.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID

YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
TILL YOU MADE LOVE?

DO YOU STILL
FEEL THAT WAY?

SURE.

IS HE STILL A VIRGIN,
DO YOU THINK?

WHO?

BRIAN.

GOOD. THIS STUFF OUGHT TO
HELP US FIND THEIR WEAKNESSES.

LET'S GET A MOVE ON.

I'M NOT SURE WHETHER
THEY BOUGHT MY ACT.

WHERE'S BEN?

GO, GO, GO, GO!

WAKE UP, JULIE!
LET'S GO!

GO GET HER!

WHAT ARE YOU
STOPPING FOR?

I'M GOING BACK FOR BEN.
WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM.

- YOU'RE CRAZY!
- WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM THERE!

JULIE! JULIE!

JULIE!

BEN!

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

JULIE, NO.

NO.

[GROANING]

GO ON. GO ON.
GET OUT OF HERE.

I'M NOT GOING
TO MAKE IT.

6 BUCKS
FOR A DOZEN CLUCKS.

[SCATTING]

CALEB HERE?

WHAT HAPPENED?

BEN'S BEEN HURT.

WHAT WENT DOWN?

WE WERE STEALING LAB
EQUIPMENT. THEY SHOT HIM.

WHAT, THE DOC?

STEALING STUFF?

YOU OUGHT TO COME TO ME.
I'll SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.

THEY GOT YOU, TOO?

MAY--MAYBE I OUGHT TO GO
GET AN AMBULANCE.

NO. NO AMBULANCE.

WE'VE ALREADY MADE
OUR DIAGNOSIS,

HAVEN'T WE, DOCTOR?

WHAT YOU WANT TO PULL
A HEIST FOR, BRO, MAN,

WITHOUT YOUR
LITTLE BROTHER'S EXPERTISE?

WE DID IT, THOUGH.

THE TRUCK DID GET AWAY?

BUT LOOK AT YOU, BRO.
YOU A WRECK.

- YOU JUST CAN'T GO DO THIS.
- IS PAPA HERE?

NO, UH...

NO, HE AIN'T
GET HERE YET.

UH...

NOW, LISTEN HERE, MAN,

NOW, DO I TRY DOCTORING?

COURSE NOT. COURSE NOT.

THE NEXT TIME, BRO,
YOU TRY AND BOOST STUFF,

YOU'LL COME TO ME FIRST.

I'll SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.

AIN'T NOTHING TO IT.

LIKE LIFTING
THESE EGGS, MAN.

SHOOT.

SOUND LIKE PAPA NOW.

SHOOT.

HE'LL BE ALONG HERE
ANY MINUTE NOW.

ELIAS.

YOU GOING TO COME
TO ME, RIGHT?

WE'LL TAKE THEM ON
TOGETHER, BRO, YEAH.

JUST THE TWO OF US.

THE BAD TAYLOR BROTHERS,
YEAH!

ELIAS.

THEY'LL SAY, WHOA, MAN!

WHIPPING THROUGH HERE
AND JAZZ.

BAD, BAD TAYLOR BROTHERS.
OH, YEAH.

TAYLOR BROTHERS, MAN.

DOCTOR, YEAH...

DOCTOR AND, UH...

DOCTOR AND, UH...

DOCTOR AND THE OTHER ONE.

THE OTHER ONE.

[WHISPERING]
Elias.

NO!

NO.

THE DOCTOR CANNOT DIE.

OH, YEAH, SURE,
THE OTHER ONE CAN DIE.

HE CAN DIE, BUT...

NOT...

NOT...

NOT...
NOT BEN.

NOT BEN.

AW, DAMN IT, BEN.

[WHISPERING]
Damn it.

[CRYING]

[ABRAHAM] NO!

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT,

DO IT RIGHT.

I'll SHOW YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

FOR VICTORY.

GO TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
