"When I got this journal

"I thought it was going to be a
joke,

"Little too girly for me,

"I mean, nobody has ever accused
me of being a normal teenage girl,

"But I was wrong, It helps,

"God knows,
my life isn't exactly normal,

"Dad's been MIA for a couple years
now, and Mom,,,

"Oh, where do I start with Mom?

"She tries,

"She pulls down a nine
to five at a supermarket

"and tries to play normal mom,

"But let's just say,
she's not exactly model PTA material,"

Hey, Harry,

Are you
buying the magazine?

-Laura, it's you! -What?

You're in here,
You were abducted,

It's not me,

What's the date? 17 years ago?

Yeah, yeah, it's you,
There's your name, Laura Sinclair,

I said, it's not me, Harry,

Come on, Laura,
that's your picture,

You haven't changed at all,
your hair's a little longer,

You lost some weight in the
face, but it's definitely you!

Laura? You all right?

I've got you, Laura, Easy now,

Easy,

I'm okay, I'm all right,

Laura, what happened?

What did you say to her?

Nothing,
I just showed her a photograph,

How was I supposed to know she
was going to react like that?

It wasn't the photograph,
I just got dizzy, that's all,

Come on, babe,
tell us the whole story,

Harry, -

Come and sit down for a minute,

No, no, no, I'm okay,

It wasn't much of a fall or
anything, it was,,,

You're really lucky you
didn't crack your head wide open,

I'll get you something for
this, okay?

Thanks,

There is nothing
wrong with your television,

Do not attempt to
adjust the picture,

We are now controlling
the transmission,

We control the horizontal
and the vertical,

We can deluge you with
a thousand channels

or expand one single
image to crystal clarity

and beyond,

We can shape your vision

to anything our
imagination can conceive,

For the next hour,

we will control all
that you see and hear,

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits,

They say you are
the sum of your experiences,

But what happens when
an event from your past

prevents you from
defining your future?

Good day at work, Mom?

Sorry, Starvation
anxiety, Need a sandwich,

I came to school to pick you up,

I was hanging with
Marilyn at the mall,

Her dad dropped me off,
Have you ever met him?

Geek City,

I told you I didn't need
to be picked up today,

Guess you didn't hear
me, -

-How was school? -Same old,

Allyson Crawford is so far
up Coach Milford's butt,

they'll have to extract
her with industrial pliers,

Tammy,

I've been thinking about
your birthday party,

Earth to Mom, 100th time,
I don't want a party,

Sixteen-years-old
deserves a birthday party,

Spare me,

How was the old
grocery store today?

Rock stars come in for
the prescription drugs?

Meet Mr, Right?

As if,

You're beautiful, Come
on, you're still a babe,

Yeah, right,

-You okay? -I'm fine,

Don't you have some
studying to do?

You've got that English
lit test tomorrow,

"The quality of mercy
is not strained,

"It droppeth like a
gentle rain from on high,"

Since when are you
and Shakespeare buds?

He's got some cool
stuff in his plays,

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine,

Okay, don't connect,

-Tammy,,, -Like you
said, I've got homework,

Hello? Oh, hello, Mrs, McDonald,

What has she done now?

Oh,

Your office tomorrow morning?
Fine, I'll be there,

Okay,

Bye, Mrs, McDonald,

"I know I'm being
kinda harsh on her, but,,,

"Come on, I mean,
it's not like I have a choice,

"Sometimes I wonder who's the
parent and who's the child,

"It can pretty freak
show around here,"

Tammy?

"When she gets like this,
it seems like anything can set her off,

Tammy? -

Oh!

It's good to see you
again, Mrs, Sinclair,

You're being kind,

I checked my face in the mirror
this morning, not a pretty sight,

You do seem tired,

Not sleeping well,

-You called me about
Tammy, -Yes,

She really wants to
be a better student,

I know her grades are
poor this semester, but,,,

Mrs, Sinclair,
I want you to take a look at this,

It's Tammy's report
card from this semester,

We're mailing them out tomorrow,

but I really wanted to
give you this in person,

Are we talking about
the same Tammy?

As you can see, her grades are
averaging a B for the semester,

which is a major improvement,

Her mood swings have
diminished, No drugs,

No defacing school property,

Lots of attitude,
but rarely rude,

I wouldn't call her
a model student,

but I've dealt with a
lot worse this year,

Well, I'd like to tell you I
was responsible for all this,

but I think you're the
one to congratulate,

Tammy hasn't come to me
much for guidance this year,

She has a new English
teacher, Marcus Fellows,

He's had quite an effect on
the students in his class,

She did seem less terrified
of her Merchant of Venice test

than she should've
been,

Mr, Fellows has made
Shakespeare something akin

to reading Chris
Rock in jazz clubs,

An A in Social Studies?

I need to take my
pulse, This is,,,

This is just great,

Did you know your daughter
is writing poetry?

Well, she keeps her journal
with her all the time,

I'm not allowed to open
it, -

And Mr, Kline, our art teacher,

says that her sketch work
has become quite incredible,

We are cautiously optimistic

that this upward
curve will continue,

and that,,, -

Fight in the compound,

Allyson Crawford and,,,

Tammy Sinclair,

Fight! Fight!

Hey! Hey! Stop it! Stop it!

-You started it! You did!
-I did not! Liar!

I don't care who started it!

-Come on! -Back off! Allyson!

- Allyson, back off!
- She started it!

-Back off! -Come on!

Go with Mr,
Garvey to the nurse's office,

MR, GARVEY: Come on, Allyson,

What are you doing here? I'm
disappointed in you, What are you doing?

Thank you for
intervening, Mr, Fellows,

There has been bad
blood between those two

since the beginning of the year,

Sometimes bad blood
can boil over,

I'm sure it was started
by something trivial,

If you'll excuse me,,,

What was the fight about?

What do you care?

Maybe I'm madly in love
with the quarterback

Allyson's groping in the boys' locker
room, like no one knows,

Or maybe, I'm passionately
in love with Allyson herself,

and she dumped me,

What do you know about me?

You spend every shift that's
handed out in that store,

Did you think we
were gonna live on

the child support payments
your father sends us?

With what he sends us,

we couldn't afford to live in
a shack in the railway yards,

I know!

-I'm waiting for an
answer, -It was nothing,

Tammy, you're gonna tell me
or you're gonna go straight,,,

The fight was about you, okay?

Allyson called you a freak,

Every kid in my school's
read that tabloid story,

They're all talking about it,

I'm sorry,

Well, last night you couldn't
have mentioned the fact

that your name and face would be
splashed all over that scum sucking rag?

I was hoping you
wouldn't see it,

I thought I'd heard the
last of this alien crap,

But I guess it's always
gonna be with us, isn't it?

No, It isn't,

Yes, it is,

"I'm doing the best I
can, right?

"I don't just have a
communication gap with my mother,

"it's more like
the Grand Canyon,

"But, thank God,
I have Mr, Fellows,

"I mean, he understands
me, and,,,

"We don't have to talk
about freaky alien dreams,

"or stupid tabloid stories,
or anything at all,

"We can just hang together,

"I wish it was this
easy with everybody,"

Are
you here to save me?

Don't worry,
I won't let them hurt you,

Marcus, don't leave,

I used be able to anticipate
Tammy's mood swings,

But now I can't
keep up with them,

My daughter brooded a lot,

A child full of life

and she used to wear
these black clothes,

and pale makeup,,,

And do 500 piece puzzles
for hours by herself,

Twelve years old,

I used to be attracted to
the night when I was little,

The Dark Child,
they used to call me,

I thought that darkness was
soothing and soft like velvet,

-Is Tammy like that?
-No, not at all,

She's fiery and vital,

I wonder how much my
behavior has affected her,

You're reacting to a
recurring nightmare,

we all have those,

If Social Services knew I was
talking about aliens again,,,

I won't let them take
Tammy away from me,

You've got to take the terror
you have from the past,

and bury its voice deep inside,

Then let out the whispers of it,

when you can deal with it,

That's very eloquent,

I speak from
experience, remember?

White lights,

Out of those
lights, came shapes,

Limbs like scarves,

They stripped off
all my clothes,

And poked and prodded
me,

No part of my body was
sacred, and I kept thinking,,,

Are they violating Jennifer?

But then I saw her,

She was on the ship,

Just before they took me back,

And she was laughing,

She didn't sense
any danger or evil,

I don't how I would've felt
if Tammy had been with me,

Of course, no one believes me,

"Poor Susie,

"Watching too many
X-Files episodes,

"She's got all the alien
buzzwords down packed,"

I believe you,

I believe you,

It's time to come back to your
room, Susan,

Hello, Dr, Campbell,

Laura, good to see you again,

All it takes is one person,

Just one person,

If you believe me,,,

,,, someone else will,

I love you,

Thank you for letting me see her so
late, Dr, Campbell,

It's nice of you to come visit
her, Laura,

You don't know how much she
looks forward to your visits,

It's good therapy for her,

For me too, -

Glad you're doing so well now,

So where'd
you go last night?

I took a drive,

When it gets that late,
I worry about you,

Well,
there's nothing to worry about,

Okay, don't go porcelain on me,

I'm not,

Why didn't you tell me your
nightmares had returned?

Because they haven't,

Come on, Mother,

You're screaming in your sleep,

that's what woke me up,

It doesn't concern you, Tammy,

Yes, it does,

You get all crazy
when you have them,

-and then I get all crazy,
-Please, don't use that word,

I'm sorry,

I'm,,, Scared, okay?
I admit that,

Why do always go
back to that place?

Mom,,,

I love you, I don't,,,

I'm trying really hard to
understand, and you're not,,,

Can you help me, please?

Sometimes it's comforting
to go back there,

There is this woman there,

Her name is Susan,

She was abducted by
aliens two years ago,

with her 12-year-old daughter,

Oh, so you guys just,,,

Sit around? Hang out?

Reminisce about good
'ol alien times or what?

I don't,,,

I don't get it,

There is my ride, I have to go,

-So how are you today?
-Just fine, thank you,

You're, uh,
Tammy Sinclair's mom,

I'm Marcus Fellows, I,,,

Sorry, I didn't get a chance
to say hello to you yesterday,

Those weren't exactly the circumstances
I was hoping to meet you under,

That was her first
fight this semester,

Yes, I know that, I know that,

Witness a pretty
remarkable change in her,

I understand that's
all because of you,

No, uh, sorry,
I can't take credit for that,

We're in this together,

It's a big conspiracy to, uh, help your
daughter realize her full potential,

And you know,
I believe she's gonna do just that,

It was nice to see you,

Do you think we could,
um, get together later?

We'll have coffee
and talk about Tammy,

Sure, I would love that,

Um, what about Terro's
Coffee Grind at 6:00?

That'd be fine,

- Well, see you there,
-Yeah,

"In a circle,
insanity surrounds me,

"It's never ending,

"I'm searching for the way out,

"Towards something I don't
know if I'll ever reach,"

Don't worry,

I won't let them hurt you,

You were trapped there, too,

Tom, my ex,,,

,,, basically checked out
long before the divorce,

He used the house
like a hotel room,

Worked for a big drug company,

he was traveling all the time,

So he didn't spend much
time with his daughter?

-She'd be a stranger to
him, -Well, that's tragic,

But you know,
I also think it's,,,

Never too late for a father
to reach out to his daughter,

Get to know her again,

Not Tammy, I'm afraid,

Well, if he did, he would find his
daughter as an exceptional young woman,

Striving to assert herself,
and discover her new identity,

I can see why she
likes you so much,

She's talked about me?

Oh, not directly,
I read between the lines,

Did she tell you that she's, um,
auditioned for the role of Portia

in the school's production
of Merchant of Venice?

I think she's
gonna get the part,

Oh, that would be great,

I'm organizing a 16th
birthday party for her,

Harbor Lights Bistro,
Would you come?

Saturday afternoon?

You're the only teacher from school
I'd think she'd want to have there,

I'd love to, What time?

Five o'clock, But don't tell
her, it's a surprise,

One I hope she doesn't
throw back in my face,

Little tension, huh?

Well, don't worry,
It's gonna pass,

Tammy loves you,

Did she say that?

Mmm,,,

Professional observation,

I'm sorry,

Did I say something wrong, or,,,

No, no, I just,,,

Haven't been out for coffee with
anybody in a long time and,,,

I understand,

I do,

You look familiar to me,

Did you ever live in
Arizona, the Flagstaff area?

As a matter of
fact, I did, Yeah,

For about two years,
it was a long time ago,

I just feel like
we've met before,

I promise you,
I would've remembered,

It was in a forest,
17 years ago,

You were there,
I know it was you,

I saw you there,
it sounds crazy,

There was a lot
of drifting mist,

A lot of mist in
the dream and,,,

I was in a dream of yours?

It was a dream,
but it was real, too,

I'm sorry, you've lost me here,

Do you believe in UFOs?

Well, that's kind of mandatory
for living in the Southwest,

No, please, I'm serious,

Okay, I'm sorry, um,,,

Then I have to say, I don't,

-Totally, I hate that class,
-Can't stand her at all,

You know,
I was from a transfer,,,

Tammy?

I'm glad I caught you,

I've, uh,
got a book I'd like to give you,

It's uh,,,

Required reading for
the Shakespeare test,

And don't worry,
you're gonna sail through it,

Pay attention to Hermione
in Winter's Tale,

How she never berates Leontes,

when unjustly
accused of adultery,

Listen, uh,
is your mom dating anyone?

My mother? Dating?

-Yeah, -Break me,

-I'm sorry? -Give me a break,

Oh, right,

No, she doesn't,,,

She just doesn't trust anybody,

I don't know
why I'm telling you this,

Well, because, you know,
you can always talk to me,

Hmm,

You know, a teacher comes
across a student who,

touches their soul on
very, very rare occasions,

-Actually, your mom's
here, -Hi, Mom,

I'm gonna be at the mall, okay?

Mr, Fellows,
do you have a minute?

Yes, of course, Karen,

I was wondering if you'd help
me out with the drama club?

I would love to,

Great,
We'll talk about it later?

Sure,

Oh, Candice,
Have a nice evening, Marcus,

You too, Karen,

Hey, Laura,

Tammy got the part,
did she tell you?

No, she didn't,

Yeah,

I need to talk to you about something
that happened to me 17 years ago,

I was taken aboard
an alien spacecraft,

But I wasn't the only human
being taken aboard that night,

You were there, too,

I'm sorry, Mrs, Sinclair,
I,,, I,,, I don't know,,,

Last night it was Laura,

Laura,

Seeing you know after
all these years,

triggered these memories,

You know, I really don't think this is
the time and the place to discuss,,,

You're in my dreams now,
In my alien nightmares,

Because you were there with
me trapped on that craft,

Mrs, Sinclair, you're,,,

You're asking me to admit to
an alien encounter you say

happened to both of us
nearly 20 years ago?

We've never even met before,

The only connection we have is the
fact that your daughter is my student,

I'm sorry,

You came here to find
me, didn't you?

I came here to teach,

Now, maybe you're
mistaking me for someone,,,

Don't patronize me,

I'm sorry, Mrs, Sinclair,

I really am,

Tell me I'm crazy,
or tell me the truth,

I'm sorry,
I have nothing else to say to you,

Marcus?

I should never have
brought all this up, but,,,

It's okay, I'm happy to talk
to you at any other time,

But right now,
you really will have to excuse me,

Laura?

You were right,

I was on that ship with you,

We'll meet later,

I live near
here, It's a great area,

And despite my experiences,

I actually feel safe not
to leave the door open,

which is a big step for me,

I'm sorry about before,
it's just that my job is important,

I understand,

It's been difficult,

The divorce,
bringing up Tammy alone,

trying to keep our heads
financially above water,

And then of course,
coming to terms with all of this,

Not being able to
share it with anybody,

Because no one listened,

No one would believe you,

That must have taken
its emotional toll,

Over the past 10 years,
I've voluntarily checked myself

into a mental institution here,

For short stays,

And I made some progress,

but the nightmares
kept coming back,

Must have been tough on Tammy,

She'd stay with my folks,

And hated it,

Well, I'm sure she was
very frightened for you,

She was,

And she still is,

You know, you need a stabilizing
presence in your life,

You have to trust
someone, Laura,

Trust me,

Marcus, I,,,

You have such beautiful eyes,

-Thank you, -Hey!

Don't turn away,

I need some time to
think about this,

Of course,

Someone told me once it
only takes one person,

just one,

If you believe me,

somebody else will,

And that someone
else has to be Tammy,

I know,

Hey, hey, hey, I'll tell her,

But will she believe you?

I'm an eyewitness,
I was there with you,

I'll swear to it,

When? When will you tell her?

We'll get together,

Just the three of us,

It'll be a very
special occasion,

Think of this as
a new beginning,

Okay,

I've got an
invitation for you,

Dinner tonight?

At that little cafe you
like down by the docks?

Harbor Lights Bistro?

-Who's coming?
-Oh, just you and me,

What it will lack in
sophisticated conversation,

will be made up for
by exquisite cuisine,

Mmm,
what's the special occasion?

Mother and daughter
get-together,

Okay, but here's the deal, Mom,

no talk about aliens,

Or my studies or my attitude,

or Dad's no-show checks,
or Allyson Crawford,

no drugstore gossip, okay?

It's a deal,

Yeah, what time?

Um, let's make it an early
dinner, say 5:00?

Okay, yeah,
Rehearsal ends at 4:30,

-All right, -See ya,

Surprise!

Why, Mother? I'll kill you,

Can you wait till
after the party?

The food looks so good,

Is this cool or what?

This is so embarrassing,

You knew about this, didn't you?

I was sworn to secrecy,

Happy
birthday, Tammy,

Thanks,

You're ready to
face the real world,

-How about a drink?
-Sure, Do I get champagne?

You get

sparkling apple
cider, Very close,

-Yeah, -Are you kidding?

And everyone heard her say it,

Tammy, what's wrong?

Nothing,

I'm just a little upset that I missed
all the fun at school yesterday,

Yeah, you accusing Mr,
Fellows of being an alien?

Being abducted by aliens,
but not just any aliens,

the very same ones
that abducted you,

Tammy,,, -TAMMY: Let go of me!

Laura, let me go,

I'll bring her back,

Tammy,

Tammy, wait,

-I'm not going back in
there, -Okay, okay, okay,

Where do you wanna go?

I don't know,

Take a drive with me,

Okay,

Okay, let's go,

Hey, Mrs, Sinclair,
what happened to Tammy?

Excuse me, Marilyn,

you haven't seen
Tammy, have you?

No,

Marcus?

Tammy?

Are you here?

Oh,

My God,

I promise I won't
let them hurt you,

Just think of this
as a new beginning,

Think of this
as a new beginning,

Cut her open,

Tammy,

I've always wanted to go
sailing on a schooner,

Not like the ones
in the bottles,

Just

sail away from everyone,

From everything,

Just sail away,

You ever feel like
that sometimes?

Sometimes,

What's wrong?

Well,
I just wouldn't want anyone to

see us like this,
they might get the wrong idea,

I'll make you a deal,

I won't gaze up in your eyes

and you promise not to say
anything to my friends,

Tammy,

I don't have that kind
of relationship with you,

We have something much deeper,

Look, I know how difficult
things have been for you,

And I understand your feelings
of frustration, You have to be

the dominant personality
in your family, -

Yeah, tell me about it,

Slam my bedroom door,
my mother breaks into a hundred pieces

and I have to be careful not to run
through the house in my bare feet,

So, you rebelled,

That's no wonder,
you come from a broken home,

Tammy, I can mend that home,

Yeah, right,

Look, my mother's got you
on that spacecraft with her,

What if I told you that

I was on that ship with her?

That she's been telling you
the truth all these years?

Then you are nuts too,

God, don't tease me, okay?

Not tonight,

Is the truth that
difficult to comprehend?

Can't you feel it
deep in your soul?

Um, right,

So,
there was an alien spacecraft

and you and my mother
were there together,

Okay, bud,

I am just asking you
to keep an open mind,

Just,,,

I'm outta here,

Tammy, wait,

Look, I,,,

Look, I've, uh,,,

I have something
I wanna give you,

I've just been waiting
for the right moment,

Are those diamonds?

Oh,
they are much better,

Look, let's, uh,,,

Let's go over here,

Let's get out of the cold,

Very, very beautiful,

I can't accept this,

Think of it as a
birthday gift from me,

Coming-of-age present,

This necklace

will help you find
your true self,

Release those memories that
are buried deep within you,

What memories?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about power,

The absolute power to shape
and control your own life,

No parents, no friends,

no teachers influencing you,

Your heart and
your intellect will

expand beyond their
comprehensions,

Stop, You're scaring me,

I have to take this
off, It's hurting me,

No,

No, no,

It's cleansing you,

It's liberating you,

It's filling your
essence of exhilaration

like you have never
experienced before,

Can't
you feel it releasing

something inside you?

Can't you feel,,,

Get away from him, Tammy,

Mom,

Step away from him,

I know who you are,

I know what you are,

An alien, a monster!

Those are harsh words for
someone who loved you, Laura,

Who still loves you,

He tortured me,

What happened there?

What else did you do
to me on that ship?

Something special, something,,,

Wonderful,

We loved, Laura,

And together we created a new
superior being for this planet,

And now,

she's ready to be changed,

To know her true self,

Tammy,

take off the necklace,

Tammy,
there'll be others among us,

together we will find them,

Laura, come,

Join us, we can be a family,

Tammy,

No, Laura, no!

You,,, You think you own her?
That she's yours?

Would you deny her, her destiny?

Her greatness?

The chance to
fulfill her promise?

No,

No, Tammy, come back here,

No!

Let's go,

I'm sorry it has to be this
way, Laura,

Mom?

Mom!

Stop it!

You're my daughter,

We have a daughter,

You are my family,

I always knew,,,

I always knew there
was something,,,

There was something bad in
me, I just,,,

-No, -I just didn't

know,

Nothing bad,

No, -

Tammy, you're beautiful,

Let's go home,

Fear can be
powerful and driving emotion,

but it is no match for the
love between mother and child,
