Original subtitles

There's no hostess, hon.

You can just take a seat wherever you like.

WOMAN: Uh, I'd like to order white toast and...

Bacon, well-done.

What can I get ya?

I like your necklace. Did you get it around here?

Forget about it.

Nobody has had a free meal yet.

A craft did land here.

Sure did. 1947.

Came out of the sky like a big ball of fire

and crashed just outside of town.

The government has been trying to cover it up ever since.

You don't believe the crash is real.

Hon, if you are buying something and leaving a tip...

I believe.

Well, I need to find where they took that ship.

It's a air base in Ohio.

No.

Boy...

you really want that free meal, don't ya?

Well, we do have alien crash site maps.

You have maps?

Yeah.

To the crash site

and the museum.

You have maps.

MAN: Stevie, don't you run away.

WOMAN: Marsha, come here. Over here!

SECOND MAN: Y'all fixin' to use that?

MAN: you've gotta go deeper.

It has to look like that weather balloon came down here.

Has to be something the locals believe in.

We gotta get back to the problem at hand.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

Aa-aah!

MEL: Bathe and shave.

You're going to have to do this every day.

Now, I just want to let you know

that I am doing this only on 2 conditions.

One...you hold completely still,

and 2, the washcloth goes back where it was.

Thank you. Ahem.

Feels strange.

Talking is not holding still.

I'm close to finding one, Mel.

He's an Orsian.

Uh-huh.

Orsians are born in pairs,

though in their earth bodies, they're not identical.

Okay.

But you can't talk and shave at the same time.

All right?

They talk telepathically.

If I find one, I'll find the other.

Okay, why don't you try.

Go on.

Just enough pressure to take off the whiskers.

Not so much.

You don't... want to cut yourself.

I'll get some toilet paper.

My father always used toilet paper.

RAAHM: [ telepathically ] Saahm, where are you?

SAAHM: [ telepathically ] don't worry. I have the money.

I'm in the dealer's apartment.

You're not eating, are you?

We have a plan. Now get out of there.

Hey, this body requires a great deal of food, Raahm.

You can stand to lose a meal.

Have you looked in the mirror?

I've seen my reflection, yes.

And you're not repulsed?

What can I do?

I had to choose a body on the train.

You're obese, Saahm.

I've heard about a unique concept called dieting.

You restrict intake. You lose mass.

Try it.

I don't plan on being in this body forever.

Besides, it's just a quick snack.

No, Saahm. No snack.

You're always doing this.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

Now, we have a plan.

You're supposed to keep the tracker busy.

Get outta there.

Okay.

I found information about a murder.

A drug dealer.

There was evidence of ground disturbance nearby.

Personal hygiene is extremely important.

Orsians have the ability to burrow underground.

Are you listening to anything I'm saying?

Personal hygiene is extremely important.

Yes. Good.

Personal hygiene-- a euphemism for B.O.,

bad breath, and all those smelly kind of things

that people don't really talk about,

except for on commercials.

Feels good, Mel.

Good.

I think that's the end of our lesson for today.

Good.

I have to get to work.

Wow. Um...

You need to towel off.

Towel off?

Yeah. You know, rub yourself.

Um, wipe your body with the towel.

Do you have change for the bus, Mel?

Sure. Where are you going?

To the dead dealer's apartment.

Why don't you just do that speed thing you do?

I have to be careful.

It weakens me.

It takes one solar day to regenerate.

Thank you.

Sure.

I think I have some change in my purse.

- Good. - Good.

- Good. - Good.

[ baby crying ]

Very, uh...

Interesting.

This body requires a great deal of fuel.

- Hmm. - Huh!

Personal hygiene is extremely important.

[ deep growl ]

[ sirens ]

Not a good night?

Not a good night.

And if it wasn't

for Judge Henchford's drinking problem,

it wouldn't have been a night at all.

What's wrong?

I put all my inheritance into this place,

it looks great, and still no one comes.

You're dying to tell me.

I can feel it.

So...tell me.

Look, Mel...

This was a cop bar, right?

It was a cop bar before your grandmother bought it,

and it was a cop bar when she died.

Yeah.

And it didn't make any money as a cop bar, either.

Okay, fine.

So the cop thing ran its course,

but for a long time, it was really successful...

And the reason was because it was about something.

You know, it targeted a specific clientele

and went for it.

I have a target.

Upscale businessmen and women.

Mel...we're in the middle of a financial district.

Upscale businessmen and women

do not want to drive back on a Saturday night

to the place they left on Friday night.

It's too depressing.

Okay, what are you saying?

You're missing your target.

So, go on...ask me.

I know you're dying to.

Get it out. Ask me.

Okay...

So what would you do?

Talk to a bar consultant.

A bar consultant?

I didn't even know such a thing existed.

That's the problem, Mel.

I know a really, really good one.

Think about it.

[ machine beeping ]

SAAHM: Raahm... Tracker captured...

Hear you... Our communication...

Don't contact... We'll know...

Who is that?

The one I was pursuing.

The Orsian?

Don't worry.

His life force is contained.

Oh.

So... what was I hearing?

Telepathic messages he was trying to send.

That's my jelly.

Jelly slows his energy.

Enough for me to keep him

at the edge of consciousness.

I have control of every message he sends.

Cole--

And hear ones he sends his brother.

Nickel-plated.

Very conductive of telepathic waves.

Now we wait for brother to send message.

[ fragments of Raahm's voice audible ]

RAAHM: [ on. P.A. ] Saahm, where are you?

Saahm...

I made it to Roswell, Saahm.

Now I just gotta find it.

Raahm.

[ door opens ]

Mel, where is Roswell?

The desert. New Mexico.

What would be in a desert in New Mexico?

Well, a lot of people believe

that a spaceship crashed out there in the late forties.

The government has always denied it.

Why are you so interested?

The other Orsian is there.

So, another full bowl, right?

Yes.

What I've used will only last a while.

I hope lemon-lime isn't gonna screw things up.

They were out of cherry.

No.

But if it melts,

Saahm will be able to talk to his brother again.

Why are you so intent on going to New Mexico?

Official sources on Cirron spoke of a ship

that went missing in this quadrant.

Why was it coming here?

Rumors said it belonged to treasure hunters.

Treasure hunters?

Wonder what they were looking for.

Gold, diamonds?

What does this say?

"Commander of the Eighth Air Force states

"that the object was sent to the research center

at Wright Field, Ohio, for examination."

Ohio.

Yeah, well, who knows what to believe?

They later retracted the whole story.

Said it was a weather balloon.

Seems your government likes to hide things.

What government doesn't?

I must go to New Mexico.

I need you to stay here

and monitor Raahm's transmissions.

Okay.

But if Raahm tries to talk to Saahm,

Won't he realize

when his brother isn't talking back?

SAAHM: The tracker is close.

I have to talk to you later.

Put together from Saahm's thoughts.

I have other phrases for you to use as well.

Okay, good.

So, you're going off to New Mexico,

and I'm going to stay here and listen to aliens

babble in jelly.

Hey, hon, today's specials are

Martian Marinara Chicken,

Close Encounters Crawfish,

and I think there is one more serving left

of the Rocket Man Ravioli.

Hey, hon.

Do you believe?

Not really.

Then why do you wear the pin?

Well, the owner thinks

it makes the customers feel more comfortable.

Do you have many customers looking for aliens?

Everybody here is looking for aliens, hon.

Hey...

That must be the newest thing.

You've seen this before?

Yeah. Yesterday.

There was a guy in here wearing one just like it.

You mind?

How do I look?

Good.

Yeah?

How do I smell?

I shaved and bathed today.

Well...

[ chuckles ]

Aren't you a charmer!

Did you talk to this man?

Sure.

Did he say where he was going?

No, but he took a map.

A map?

A map to the crash site.

Map.

[ thud ]

[ brakes squeal ]

[ beeps ]

[ beeps ]

[ humming ]

MAN: I'll get this back to you by, say, uh, 24 hours.

The clarity was exceptional.

WOMAN: Yes, we should photograph it

because I'd like to take a long hard look at it.

MAN: Steel.

Steel.

Steel what?

- Everything. - Everything.

I'm sorry... Baz.

I realize you do this kind of thing for a living,

but I have spent a lot of time

and a lot of money restoring the wooden facades in here.

This is the original Louis Sullivan interior

from the forties.

Wood...

Is over.

Over.

Has been for a long time.

[ chuckles ]

Can I talk to you for a second?

MEL: I don't care what this guy's reputation is.

- He's insane! - Mel!

I am not redoing the entire bar in steel, Jess.

It'll look like a morgue!

Baz is a trendsetter.

Well, he can set them somewhere else.

Do you realize the strings I had to pull

just to get him in here?

[ indistinct voice ]

Saahm!

Who?

I gotta go.

No, Mel.

[ door opens and closes ]

I think it's growing on her.

[ beeps ]

[ cell phone rings ]

[ cell phone rings ]

MEL: Cole, are you there?

[ whispering ] This is not a good time, Mel.

Raahm just sent another message.

He's found the ship.

He should have the device very soon.

What device?

I don't know. He didn't say.

[ gun cocks ]

Put the phone down and get your hands over your head.

Cole?

This area is off-limits to civilians,

and I'm authorized to use deadly force

if you do not follow my commands.

Now stand up and put your hands above your head.

Do it now. Stand up, sir,

and put your hands above your head.

[ gasping ]

Having trouble with your pass?

Yeah, these readers are touchy.

Perhaps, uh, you could, uh, help me with it.

Yeah, sure.

That's why it won't work. That's a perimeter pass.

[ door unlocks ]

Where's your pass, mister?

In the car.

What section are you with?

Tracking.

Never heard of it.

Very small department.

Step away from the door.

Did he breach the hangar security?

I don't know, sir.

Where is he?

I'm not sure, sir.

You just said that you confronted him.

I did, sir.

And you didn't see where he went?

Sir, he used some sort of stun device on me.

I'm not sure what happened exactly.

[ hums ]

[ humming ]

[ beeps ]

Raahm.

Tracker.

It's been a long time.

[ door opens ]

COLONEL: Halt!

[ footsteps ]

COLONEL: Stop where you are.

Get your hands above your head.

Sir, I saw him break in here

with the lab tech's security pass.

Good work, soldier.

He is not who he seems to be.

I said put your hands up, mister.

Get your hands up now!

[ electric crackling ]

[ alarm buzzes ]

COLONEL: Don't shoot! I want him alive!

[ beeps ]

[ soldiers shouting ]

[ cell phone rings ]

Yes?

MEL: What happened to you before?

I had some problems.

Raahm's sending another message.

What is he saying?

I'm not sure.

It's not coming in clear like the last one.

Adjust the attenuator.

The who?

Black knob below the screen on the left.

[ electrical sparking ]

What's wrong?

MEL: Your computer's turning into a toaster oven.

[ bubbling ]

The jelly is starting to melt.

Oh, no.

Saahm will be able to talk to Raahm again.

Get more jelly, Mel.

Okay, I'll be right back.

SOLDIER: Clear over this way.

I'm back.

Add some jelly, Mel, quickly.

Okay.

Behind the box, what do you see?

Uh, a bunch of wires.

[ electrical sparking ]

Aah!

One of them just sparked.

Which one?

Uh, the yellow one.

It looks loose.

Push the wire back into the terminal.

- [ wire shocks ] - Ow!

Hurry, Mel.

I'm trying.

Wait.

Okay.

[ wire sizzles ]

I think I got it.

Got him.

RAAHM: Saahm, the tracker followed me here.

You obviously were too busy eating to keep him distracted,

but I got the device anyway.

Call Zin and tell him to meet me

at the rendezvous point.

MEL: [ on phone ] Did you get that?

COLE: [ on phone ] I think I know where Raahm is going.

Don't let the jelly go down, Mel.

Right.

[ door opens ]

The price just went up.

I had to take a few more risks.

Perhaps you should not have taken so many.

You think you're smart.

Zin will be here any minute,

and he's not coming alone.

I have 2 pieces of bad news for you, Raahm.

Zin is not coming,

and I found your brother one day ago.

Zin will be here.

He never got your message.

I've listened to every communication you've sent.

Saahm.

I thought we would take care of this in Chicago,

but seeing as how you're here,

you just saved me a trip.

I will see you outside.

[ door opens ]

Daggon...

Is this what you're looking for?

[ gasps ]

Still don't like the cold.

A little homemade device.

It's amazing what you learn in prison.

[ choking ]

I've been waiting for this a long time.

[ groans ]

You betrayed me.

You locked me up.

I had no choice.

[ crunching ]

[ Cole groans ]

Do you have any idea

what it was like for me in Sar-top.

The inmates knowing that I was a tracker?

I saved your life.

You took my life.

[ groans ]

Take a good look.

This is about as close as you're gonna get to Cirron.

You never did see the light.

[ hums ]

Sorry, we're closed.

Hello, Jess.

Hey.

You are just the person I want to see.

Try this.

What is it?

It's my latest idea.

Oxygen.

What is this?

Oxygen.

Oxygen.

Oxygen?

It's the latest trend.

It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

They've opened up 2 of them in the past week.

Baz says this place is gonna be packed

when people find out.

[ sighs ]

What do you think?

[ squeaky ] What does it do?

I think Baz got his tanks mixed up.

I'm gonna kill him.

Kill him!

[ squeaky ] Don't like oxygen, Mel.

[ chuckles ]

[ sighs ]

[ chuckles ]
