Previously on
"Project Blue Book"...

The light communicated
with me through the song.

Everybody else
thinks I'm crazy.

And what does
your husband do?

I can't really
talk about it.

You want me to
investigate flying saucers?

I want you to help me prove
to the public the truth...

They don't exist.

Someone's been following me.

Fedora hat, trench coat?

Allen, what are you
talking about?

You're scaring me.

I'm sorry.
I'm just upset.

I just didn't like him
asking so many questions.

The consequences
of our actions impact

every man, woman, and child
on the planet.

Say thank you.

Thank you.

It's okay.

Mommy!

It's okay.

We're just experiencing
some unexpected turbulence.

It's okay.

- What is that?
- Oh, God.

It's enormous.

But it doesn't
have any wings.

- Excuse me. Let me through.
- Sorry.

It's matched our speed,
but it's not making any sound.

I swear
it's been stalking us.

I think I have
everything I need.

- You can stand up?
- Yep.

I have my ray gun here.

My portable radio here.
Stopwatch.

Got my pajamas in there,
some comics, my sleeping bag.

Wait.
Do you have the flashlight?

- I do.
- Okay, good.

That's all I have. The one
thing I have that you don't.

Okay, so if this was a real
air raid, what would we do?

We would
lock all the doors.

And tape up all the windows,
right?

Uh-huh.
Allen?

Allen, come on.

We're trying out
the new fallout shelter.

You go on.
I have work to finish here.

Dad, no one works
on a Saturday.

He's been planning
all week for this.

Mimi,
hiding in a plywood shed

during an actual nuclear attack
would not save us.

Not from a direct hit,
anyway.

Well, his teachers
all feel that

it's important for him
to feel safe at home.

And with you leaving again,
I don't know...

But if we want him
to feel safe,

let's not encourage
all this paranoia.

A boy his age should be
out playing,

not hiding in a shelter
on a Saturday afternoon.

Come on!
I'm timing us.

Every second counts.
Right, honey?

Yeah.

- Got everything?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Let's go.

Let's do this.

Let's go to the street first,
and then the shelter.

So according to
the report, this guy described

the same craft
the witnesses on the plane saw.

- Gentlemen.
- Allen Hynek.

- Dan Davis.
- Captain Quinn.

Spaceship
killed all my hogs.

I had 20 healthy hogs
the day before.

The morning after I see it,
I came out to pour the feed,

and...

- They all died the same night?
- Yes, sir.

Thought I was gonna die
just watching it hover up there.

Uh, you're saying that
it was hovering now?

I remember this strange smell
in the air, too.

Witnesses on the plane
described a cigar-shaped craft.

Maybe.
It was lit up.

Hard to tell.

The airport's
not far from here.

I've lived here
my entire life.

Seen planes fly over
all the time.

This weren't no plane.

It's more like a rocket,
huh?

Yeah,
more like a rocket.

Sir,
thank you for your time.

Right.

Uh, thank you.

Yeah.

He is our only witness
on the ground.

What makes you so sure
we're done here?

'Cause I know what he saw.

I know
where it came from.

And would you care to
enlighten me?

You know about
Operation Paperclip, right?

Government recruitment
of German scientists

after the war
into the United States.

Huntsville, Alabama,
to be exact.

Turned the whole town
into a Bavarian village

from what I heard.
It's not far from here.

You know what
they're working on.

The space program.

That's the official story.

Wernher von Braun
built a V-2 rocket

that took out
half of London.

He's the head of
the whole thing.

I'd like to ask him a few
questions about our UFO.

You think von Braun had
something to do with this?

Cigar-shaped craft that nearly
takes out an airplane?

Air base with former Nazis
working on rockets?

You're goddamn right I want to
ask him a few questions.

Hello.

I am Wernher von Braun,
aerospace engineer.

As a young boy, I would often
look up to the sky,

trying to imagine what it would
be like to travel beyond Earth.

Today, I'm proud to be
heading up the American program

that will one day
take us to the moon.

It is an ambitious project,

but one I believe will change
the course of history.

Because going to the moon

is not just about
men conquering space.

It means understanding
the mysteries of the universe.

And when we do that,

we will better understand
the greatest mystery of all...

ourselves.

So please, stay tuned.

There's so much more
to discover.

And cut!

That was great, Professor.

But if I am to be
the spokesperson

for American space program,
it needs to be better.

It need to be perfect.
Can we do it again?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Professor von Braun,
you have an urgent call.

Identification,
please, sir.

What's he doing
over there?

Captain Michael Quinn.

Well, it's not like
they were expecting us.

Sorry, gentlemen. You don't have
clearance to enter the base.

I'm a captain of
the United States Air Force.

I understand that, sir.
However I...

Are you saying the Germans
can come in

and out of here all day,
and I can't?

It seems wrong to me, too,
but there's nothing I can do.

If you could just
let Professor von Braun know

that we're here
from Project Blue Book,

and we simply want to
ask a few...

What are you doing?

Hey!

Captain,
what are you doing?!

Alert the CO.

Got a security breach!

Oh, my God.

Pull over!

But Nick's mom lets him
ride his bike to school.

I know, honey, but you have to
walk with the other kids.

The older boys
pick on me.

What older boys?

Joel, you just tell me
who they are,

and I will
have a talk with them.

It's fine.

Hey!

Hey!

I want to talk to you!

Who are you, and why are you
following me?

- I'm not following you.
- Yes, you are.

You were at my house
the other day.

It's very important
that I speak to your husband.

What do you know
about my husband?

I met him at Fargo.

He's the only one
that believed me.

About my song.

Is this about Allen's...
Allen's work?

Is this about Blue Book?

Look,
your husband's in danger.

We're all in danger!

These men are no threat.
Can we let them out, please?

Mm-hmm.
It's okay, Brian.

I just got off the phone
with General Harding.

Thankfully, he was able to
shed some light

on this whole
unfortunate circumstance.

Captain Quinn,

let me apologize for
what happened at the gate.

Those men were
just following orders.

Yeah, well, we both heard that
before, haven't we?

And you must be
Dr. Hynek.

Multi-frequency study
of relativistic jets

in active galactic nuclei.

You're familiar
with my work.

I came across your article some
years back during my research.

I found it
revolutionary.

That's, uh... not a lot of
people read that article.

Surprising to me.

But then again, most men
ahead of their time

tend to be overlooked
in the present.

So, we are here
about the sighting.

The passengers who saw
one of my rockets?

Saw?

It almost took down a plane
full of American citizens.

Can you explain
how that happened?

How about
I show you instead?

So, this is just one
of the few prototypes

I'm hoping will someday
take us to the moon.

Looks like a V-2,
but modified.

Larger fuel cell,
higher elevation.

An improved
American version.

We don't call them
V-2s anymore.

You can call 'em what you want.
We all know what they are.

Gentlemen,
I must stress again,

no one outside the program has
seen what you're about to see.

The main capsule will
reach the upper thermosphere

before disengaging
and returning to Earth,

landing somewhere
in the Gulf of Mexico.

So he says.

Since the incident
with the plane,

we are in touch with
local air traffic control.

They will even hold flights
for us, if need be.

Oh, well,
they'd have to.

The gyroscope on that rocket's
guidance system

is only accurate
to about 600 meters.

So now they give you the power
to control civilian aircraft.

Captain, I understand
your point of view here.

I do.
But if you want my help,

a little courtesy
will go a long way.

I just broke protocol
to indulge your curiosity.

Curiosity?

We're here regarding
a national security issue.

As am I.

Defeating Russia
in the space race

is paramount to America's
security in the world,

which means my life is committed
to protect yours now.

Captain Quinn, sir.

There's an urgent phone call
for you back at the base.

It's from the Pentagon.

Smell that?

Refined kerosene.

You've managed to get the
rocket's fuel to burn cleaner.

That's impressive.

I knew
you would understand.

We have a witness on the ground
not too far from here

who describes something
hovering over his property

along the flight path
your rockets use.

I assume your rockets
don't hover yet.

Any astrophysicist knows
the speed of a rocket

and its distance
from the ground

could create the illusion
of hovering.

It's a simple
parallax equation.

You're familiar with that,
yes?

- Yes, of course.
- There you have your answer.

I wasn't kidding when I said
I'm familiar with your work.

A man with your talents could
lend a lot to our program.

So if you're ever
looking for a partner

who appreciates
the capacity of your mind,

please don't forget today.

Oh, there's little I forget,
Professor.

Well, thank you, again.

You're always
welcome back.

You kids have fun?

Well, his rocket theory
is a plausible one,

but this notion
of hovering?

I don't know. I'd have to make
some calculations based on...

Case is closed.
That was Harding on the phone.

You're gonna have to
catch a flight back from here.

Why?
What's happening?

To you, nothing.

I, on the other hand,
have just been suspended

upon further review
for breaking onto a base

and jeopardizing
America's space program.

It's been fun, Doc.

Are you okay?
I came as quick as I could.

Mimi.

He really said that,
"We're all in danger"?

And then
he just ran off.

You're sure it was
the same guy?

What did the police say?

They'll try
and send someone over.

That was an hour ago.

I could tell
they thought I was crazy.

Well, you're not crazy.

I saw him, too, remember?

Why can't you
get ahold of Allen?

Because he's in Alabama.

He gave me the number
for his motel,

but he hasn't
checked in yet.

You don't think something
happened to him, do you?

Can't you call his office?

Maybe they could
get ahold of him.

No, he didn't
give me the number.

This job is so top secret,
I...

Mimi.

What exactly
is Allen working on?

We have to go.

Where?

I need you to drive.
I can't concentrate.

Mimi, I'll drive.
But where are we going?

Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base.

Allen is investigating flying
saucers for the government,

and I need to find out
what the hell's going on.

Hello!

Hello!

What are you doing
back here?

Well, sorry to bother you,
Mr. Davis,

but I still have a few questions
I want to...

I... I don't want
any more trouble.

Well,
you're not in any trouble.

Look, I said
I'd keep my mouth shut

so long as
you got me back on my feet.

Has there been someone else
here recently besides us?

Wasn't you
the ones that sent 'em?

20 new hogs?

You got me back
on my feet again.

He was supposed to catch
a flight back two hours ago.

He never got on the plane.

Why not?
Where is he?

They couldn't say. I told them
to call if they heard...

That is not good enough.

I'm sorry.
Who are you?

I'm the friend
that Mrs. Hynek called

when this lunatic
threatened her and her family.

The question is, what are you
going to do about it now?

Her young son is going to be
home from school soon,

and then what?
I mean...

Are you okay?

This whole thing
is just hitting me now.

It's so upsetting.

Is there a washroom?
I just...

I need to put some cold water
on my face.

It's just
down the hall there.

Thank you.

I'm okay.
Just keep pressing her.

See what you can do.

- Are you sure?
- Mm.

What about the motel
he's staying at?

Is there someone else
that we can contact?

I've called
everyone I can call.

Given the line of sight,

the rocket couldn't possibly
have been here.

It was here.

Uh-oh. Look out.
He found me.

Well, it wasn't exactly
rocket science.

That supposed to
be funny?

I thought you'd be headed home
by now.

Yeah, I was going to, but then
I heard about this great bar

where you can get drunk,
feel sorry for yourself.

So, you know.

I thought I'd check it out.

Sooner I get back,
the sooner I have to listen

to Harding chew my ass out,
so...

So, should we get another round,
then?

- Why not?
- Excuse me.

Could he have another one,
and I'll have a Macallan neat?

What, you think you're
the only one needs a drink

after a long day?

I did get offered a job,
though.

Von Nazi?

I hope you took it.

Somebody needs to
keep an eye on him.

I went back
and visited the farm.

I found these
under the path...

Here you are, gentlemen.

Thank you.

Macallan for you.

And for you.

I found these under
the flight path of the rocket.

You know what
a parallax equation is?

Okay, well, then
you'll have to believe me

when I tell you that
von Braun was lying

about the trajectory
of that rocket.

And I think these circles
are caused by

the launch of some
unknown propulsion force.

The grass is melted to the root
as if heated from above.

You're gonna have to
help me out here.

I been drinking
since it was light out.

Okay, well, during the war,
uh, it's rumored

that Hitler was developing
an alternate propulsion system.

Something
that would give him

the advantage over
Allied aircraft.

- Prost!
- Prost!

Guess who was supposed to have
been in charge of the program?

Von Braun is hiding something
on that base.

The question is, does anyone
outside of Huntsville know

or is his biggest secret
his alone?

Now you want to see things
my way, huh?

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

You know what
your problem is?

You're so smart,
you're dumb.

- Oh!
- Hey!

- Whoa!
- Take it easy!

What'd you say?

You're in America.

Speak English,
assholes.

We are saying
you're a drunken idiot,

and you better get home
before you get yourself hurt.

Oh, I like you.

I'm gonna save you
for last.

Hey.

It's gonna be all right.

Trust me.

How long do we have?

20 minutes
till shift change.

What is going on here?

Turns out, Private Wakefield
shares my disdain

for German war criminals
serving in our military.

A few of the guys who've worked
here just up and vanished.

Reassigned,
they tell us.

But it just never
sat right.

The chain of command you obey,
but a fellow soldier is family.

So the fight, getting back
onto the base, it was...

All a plan.
Except for you.

Private, thank you.

My pleasure, sir.

His office is right over there.
Be careful.

This is crazy.
We'll be imprisoned.

- You're welcome to leave.
- I can't let you do this again.

You ever see
what 21,000 people look like

after they've been starved?

Just left in ditches
like trash?

I was one of the first
to liberate Buchenwald,

and I will never forget
what I saw or what it taught me.

You want to kill a mass amount
of people and keep it a secret?

You hide it in plain sight.

Like maybe you tell the world
you're going to the moon,

and what you're really doing
is building rockets

to shoot down airplanes
and take out cities.

If you want to go,
you go.

What time
does Joel get home?

If... If I'm not home
after school,

he's...
he's at Donna's next door.

He knows to wait there.

Do you have someplace else
you could stay?

You and Joel?

Just until this gets settled?

So you can feel safe?

That's a good idea.
I'll take Joel to my mother's.

Before you go, call and give
Faye that number

so Allen can reach you.

Do you want me to
come in?

No, I'll just...

I'll pack my bag and go,
but...

Thank you.

For everything.

Call me
if you need anything.

I knew
I could trust you.

Joel?

You know what
Harding told me?

The Pentagon want to
make him a TV star now,

sell the public on
the idea of space travel.

Well, yeah.

How do you make a Nazi
look legitimate?

Have Walt Disney give him
his own special,

beam him right to
your living room.

Doc, come here.

Joel?

Shit.

I've flown just about everything
with wings at some point.

I've never seen
anything like these.

Joel, honey?
Honey, what are you...

Don't be afraid.

I'm...
I'm not here to hurt you.

I just...
I need to know the truth.

That's... that's not human,
right?

What's that?

Change in stasis.

I bet someone's
just been made aware.

All right. We should
get the hell out of here.

No.
Wait.

You need to get closer
to the glass.

Why?

Need something in the foreground
to give it scale.

Foreground, my ass.
Come on, let's go.

Doc!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Just...

I need to know the truth,
okay?

Are you going on a trip?

I'm just gonna
see my mother.

I told you,
Allen's not here.

That's because he doesn't really
live here, does he?

I said, it's because he doesn't
really live here, does he?

No, Allen is...
he's traveling.

He travels a lot.

That's bullshit. I've been
coming here for days, and...

Have you been trying
to trick me?

Trick you?
No.

- No, I want to help you.
- Stop.

I want to help you if you could
just tell me what you need.

Stop, stop, stop!

The last time somebody told me
they were gonna help me,

I got this, okay?

But I got out.
I got out.

You see, they don't think
that I know, but I do.

I know who the bad men are.

Aah!

Aah!

Ugh.

Are you...
Are you okay?

Don't you dare!

My wife hasn't heard from me
in almost two days.

Call her
from the airport.

Shouldn't we
call Harding first?

We just found what is either
advanced human experimentation

or some sort of
extraterrestrial creature.

I mean,
if Harding isn't aware...

What if he is?

What if we just
discovered something

that might
get us both fired?

You hear that?

This is how
they communicate.

I haven't
given them a name yet.

They're not from here.

They're from
the other world.

It's okay.
They're here to help.

They told me so
through the radio.

You hear that?

It waited
until we got the bomb.

Now they're here
to save us from ourselves

because we are not
as evolved as they are.

We're not.

And if we're not careful,

we can destroy
the entire planet.

You really don't
hear that?

I don't.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

She's one of them.

Which makes you
part of the problem.

Get away from her!

I said back away.

Let's get out of here.

Oh,
come on, go!

Oh, shit!

Reverse, reverse!
Reverse!

I'm sorry if
that was a bit dramatic.

I'd hoped you realized
these men work for me.

Your own private SS, right?

For protection?

But we saw that thing
you're trying to protect.

Oh, you met Albert.

My rhesus monkey.

First one
ever shot into space.

Made three rotations
before it perished.

We keep him to study the effects
of space on muscle tissue.

One day,
we'll put a man up there,

and his biology has been
invaluable for our research.

So, when did you sneak
into my office?

All right, first off,
you lying sack of shit,

that was no goddamn monkey.

You really put a primate
into space?

That is... That's incredible,
Professor.

Thank you.

It was also top secret.

May I speak to you
in private?

I'm disappointed, Doctor.

After our last talk,
I would have thought

you'd come directly to me
if you have any concerns.

Your parallax theory
was a smokescreen.

What you described
as hovering

would have been impossible
from a farmer's perspective,

to say nothing of the passengers
on the plane.

So, I did some math and went
back out to the property.

And I found this.

These fell directly beneath
the flight path of the rocket.

If, indeed, it was a rocket,
which I doubt that it was.

So, I suppose you don't believe
it was a monkey, either.

The parallax theory
was less a smoke screen

than an attempt
to delay the inevitable.

The inevitable what?

Limits of
my own imagination.

I've seen these markings.
I heard about the sightings.

I can't explain it,
either.

I know you went back
to the farm.

I was hoping
you'd find something.

Some explanation,
something I missed.

You don't want that from me
or from anyone else.

It's why you silenced the farmer
with those pigs.

I'm not sure
what you're referring to.

Lying comes so naturally to you
now, doesn't it?

You're not interested in
real science.

You use it, yes,
for your own political gain.

But I guess
you're used to that.

You don't know me.

You don't get to question
my intentions.

There is no question.

After what you did
during the war,

it makes sense you're gonna want
to be liked now.

But you're not fooling me,
Professor.

I see
who you really are.

You still didn't ask
why I'm here.

I got a call
from your office.

It's about your wife.

My wife?

What about her?

My husband and I
were mugged once in New York.

It scared us so much.

That's why
we left the city.

Cal bought the gun
after that.

He keeps it in the car because
I refuse to let it in the house.

But how did you know
to come in?

I got home and thought,
"She shouldn't be alone."

When I came back,
I saw what was going on, and...

I guess I...
I should thank you.

General.

So, what can we expect
to go wrong this time?

I think you'll be
pleasantly surprised.

No more propulsion tests
in the woods.

We are ready to take her
to full power now.

I don't want to do this.

You're doing your country
a great service, soldier.

I salute you.

Why is it so important to you
that I rehire Quinn?

Firing him would raise
only more attention.

I'm glad you didn't.

And how exactly are you gonna
cover our tracks?

Give a man like Hynek
a small victory,

he'll never realize
he lost the whole war.

Excuse me.

Clear the area!

Whoa.

Move, move. Come on.
Don't stop.

I...

No!

Did it teleport?
Disintegrate?

I mean, what the hell
just happened?

It worked.

8, 1, 5, 4, 5, 6, 5, 9.
