He said he would love a bone or a meaty treat.
Top of my to-do list. Just get in.
Taxi.
Hey.
I need you to keep the cab close and give the dog some water.
And, uh, give him a meaty treat.
OK. So stay close to me, don't talk to anyone, nice and normal.
I'm telling you. He walked right past me. Bad move.
This was captured by a far-imaging telescope...
at the University of Bonn less than 48 hours ago.
What I want to direct your attention to is this.
That looks like a smudge. - Yes. Yes, it does.
Was it a spaceship? Did they abduct you?
Excuse me?
Were the aliens the Greys? - Or the lizard people?
What? No, I wasn't abducted by anyone.
How do you know? Dr. Harlan's last book...
was all about how the aliens can erase your memory with probes.
Donald Harlan's book? - You may have been probed.
It's pure science fiction.
I am talking about science fact here, hard data, not crop circles.
Have you ever actually been inside a crop circle?
I have. It was huge. It's where the mother ship landed,
where they took me on board, where I was married to an alien woman.
That is it. I will not answer any more questions...
about alien abductions, crop circles or Dr. Harlan.
Is that clear? If we could just get back to the matter at hand.
People, hello, excuse me.
I promise it will be worth it. The blue nebula...
We got a hit on Bruno's license plate. They're back in Vegas.
Attention. The foundation has been rescheduled...
The cattle mutilation lecture doesn't start for an hour. But grab a seat.
This place will be packed. It always is.
We're here to see you, actually. - Oh.
It's Jack Bruno. We met earlier.
We did?
Cab... airport to hotel... driver.
Oh. The nonbeliever. What are the odds?
Is there someplace we can talk?
The, uh... crowds in here making you uncomfortable?
Even more private than this.
Look, no offense, but I'm pretty busy...
She's doubting her thesis on Gliese 581 and Alcubierre's warp drive.
How did you know that? - Oh, it gets a lot better. Trust me.
Are you insane? - I just thought you, of all people,
would understand and want to help.
Why, because I'm the nutjob speaking at the UFO convention?
Don't answer that. - I know it sounds really crazy.
Ya think? Hey. Please don't touch that.
You captured an image of our ship.
The smudge? You're telling me you think the smudge is your spaceship?
No, we don't think it's our spaceship. We know it is our spaceship.
That's it. I'm out.
If you'll excuse me, I'll grab my laptop...
Oh. They can also do all this stuff, too.
www.frendz4m.com
Who are you?
Show her.
This is... huge.
I have so many questions, though you are the answers,
here, standing right in front of me.
I'm sorry. I'm very excited. Right.
W... Where are you from?
Our planet is located some 3,000 light-years from Earth.
Space travel of such sizable distance...
Using a paradoxical passage in the unbounded...
Wormholes. That's it.
My presentation at SETI National Convention was right.
Interstellar travel is possible using wormholes as a shortcut through space.
That was my first guess as well, the wormholes.
Continue, doctor.
Why did you come to Earth? - Our planet is dying.
Millennia of neglect has rendered...
our atmosphere unbreathable. - Familiar.
Our parents are scientists who have studied Earth's...
climates in hopes of finding a solution for our planet.
Our people's fears began to rise.
Our parents discovered something our leaders were interested in.
Your planet makes a suitable living environment for our kind.
It would be simplest to abandon our dying planet and... occupy yours.
Wait. I'm helping you conquer my own planet?
No. Most of the people on our planet are fiercely opposed to this plan.
Fear of extinction triumphed among our people.
But then our parents discovered a solution.
An experiment at an outpost here was successful in regenerating life...
into all previous dying plants and trees.
Which would enable the re-oxygenating of your poisoned atmosphere.
So what's the problem? - Our military.
They preferred invasion over science.
Which is why we had to hurry and retrieve the experiment.
All proof that our planet can be saved, and your planet spared, is in here.
Where are your parents? - They were arrested.
We agreed to complete the task for them.
What about the assassin? - Assassin? What assassin?
The Siphon warrior series Deraniun 75 was created by our military.
They're bred to hunt? - Bred to kill.
If we don't return back home in time, the invasion will proceed.
We seriously need to find your spaceship.
How well do you know this guy?
We've done a few panels and debates together on opposite sides.
But no one knows the shadow world of
UFO government conspiracies better than Harlan.
Not now, Whitley.
Well, hello, Dr. Friedman.
So you've finally decided to accept my offer...
of a romantic Benihana dinner for 2.
Huzzah. - What?
Ahem. Uh... 3 years ago, a screening of the Cooper footage.
You were in the 4th row, 2nd seat, in a saucy flower print.
Sorry, I keep my work and social life separate. I don't date...
colleagues. - Colleagues. Indeed.
Listen, we need to see Harlan right away.
Dr. Harlan is presently unavailable for consultations.
We're more than qualified to answer questions.
There is no time for that.
It is a matter of life and death that we see Harlan now.
Life and death, ooh.
Uber scary drama queen theatrics. What's the 411 sitch?
You're currently alive. Unless you take us to Harlan, you'll be dead.
We should... Together if you want to. Right now.
Go away.
The book signing is not till 4:30. Read the brochure.
Harlan, it's Alex Friedman.
Dr. Alex Friedman. Quelle surprise.
We have to speak with you immediately. It is important.
So you're saying the 3 of you witnessed this reported UFO crash.
That's right. - We were wondering if...
there was any intel amongst your sources.
I hate lying. I really don't like lying.
I can tell when people are lying to me.
But, thankfully, your story checks out...
with all the reports I got from SETI and NORAD and NASA.
We have reason to believe...
government-sponsored operatives recovered the spacecraft.
OK. Back up a little. This is not space camp.
Let the experts do their work.
You're very lucky, you two, that you didn't come face to face...
with the aliens who were in that craft.
They're like deadly praying mantises. They eat your flesh.
Oh. Yes, we are, indeed, lucky kids...
not to have had our flesh eaten by the aliens.
You got that right. OK. Let's go to work here.
I got an e-mail from a source that sent me this sat-grab.
Where would they take the spaceship? 51? Nellis?
Wright-Patterson? Vandenberg? - From the size and scope of the crash.
I would say there's only one possibility.
Witch Mountain? - Witch Mountain.
What, are we a singing group here?
Let me talk, and you guys nod a bit. - I apologize. I'm sorry.
Witch Mountain.
Let's take a look. Here we go. California.
About 50 miles from the border of Nevada.
And it's one of our top-secret facilities.
I got a schematic here someplace.
If you're planning on visiting, don't.
When I say this place is fortified up to the yin yang.
I'm making an understatement.
Here's the schematic. And do you have the book?
Yes, I do.
All right, then, here's an aerial view.
Thank you, Harlan, for everything.
Whatever trouble you're in...
trust no one.
Thank you, both of you.
Seth and I understand you don't have to go forward with us,
and yet you choose to. - You're welcome.
And don't worry. We're gonna get you home. I promise.
I'm gonna grab my stuff. Let's meet upstairs in the convention, at my booth.
Then we get your cab. - Alex, uh, listen.
I can't let you come with us. - What?
If half of what Harlan says is true, it's too dangerous.
They got in my cab. They're my problem.
Um, no. I have spent my entire life preparing for this moment.
Now, when I have 2 actual aliens in need of my help,
you want me to walk away?
It's not gonna happen. Man up, soldier. I'm in.
Just lay low till we meet up.
Sure. Great. Lay low. Easy. How hard could that be?
She thinks you're very handsome.
Really? - And smarter than you think you are.
So she was thinking about me?
At least as much as you were thinking about her.
So she didn't happen to mention in her thoughts that I was...
It's showtime, everybody.
Space Expo Number 9. It's upstairs. Come on.
Should we go upstairs now? - Yeah. Let's go upstairs.
Do you think she was thinking about...?
Seth. Sara. Seth.
Jack. - I tried to warn you, Jack.
Mr. Wolfe doesn't take rejection well.
This is so not a good time.
You're out of time, Jack.
Well, well, well. If it isn't the Rebel Alliance cab driver scum.
Not such a tough guy out of your ship, are you, womp rat?
You're in our house now.
Move. Move.
Hi. I'm Sunday. Welcome to Planet Hollywood.
Are you gentlemen here for the UFO Space Expo?
Wouldn't miss it.
Seth. Sara.
Wow. - Costume's great, man.
Seth. Seth.
Sara.
Seth. Sara.
I'm sorry.
I sure hope we have enough fuelage to get back to planet Earth, Conrad.
Fear not, Celeste. We must get to the ship.
My leg.
No. Look at that beast from another galaxy.
It's so disgusting and scaly.
Didn't I tell you two to stay by my side?
I heard you the first time.
Is this reenactment an important piece of Earth's history?
Stand back, you beast. - No. Come on. Let's go. We got to go.
Jack Bruno.
Sara.
Let's go. Let's go.
You're down.
Everybody, down.
Stay down. Stay down. Stay down.
Get down. You, down. Everybody, down.
You with the blue hair, right there.
Best... convention... ever.
Not here. Move out.
Other way. Other way.
Sara, are you listening to what I'm thinking?
Go. Go. Move it, move it.
Keep going. Keep going.
Oh. That's me.
Got to go.
What happened to laying low? - Who lays low in Vegas?
Move, move. Get out of the way.
Move it. Get out of my way.
We got them. Our suspects. No one else interferes.
Do not move. Do not move.
Stay inside the vehicle. Hands where we can see them.
Greetings, Earthlings.
I didn't even imagine they'd actually look human, much less like kids.
They're lucky you joined us, doctor.
We're lucky... you joined us.
Luck has nothing to do with it. It's pure science.
Chaos theory, the underlying order in apparently random data.
So more like fate?
Science. Think about it.
What are the odds that they would crash near Vegas during a UFO convention?
I got in your cab. Then they got in your cab.
And now we're all in Harlan's mobile home
loaded with his intel on where their ship is. That is not luck.
That is a predetermined order of how things work in the universe.
Have you always been this positive?
I have always been a searcher for answers,
though my folks would say I was merely a daydreamer.
How about you?
Me? I'm a, uh, much easier book to read.
All my life my answers have been 'yes' or 'no. '
Zero gray areas.
Where does the Mustang fall? A yes or a no?
That's not just any Mustang.
That's a 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback.
Steve McQueen's car in Bullitt?
You've never seen Bullitt? - Uh, no.
Er... It's currently a no.
But one day I'm gonna earn that car, the honest way.
And then it will be my yes.
Jack? - What's up, pal?
Are we there yet?
'Are we there yet?' - Unbelievable.
Good in any universe, apparently.
Well, Alex? - Yes.
The maps are 30 years old, but they're the best intel we've got.
Looks to be about 5 miles from here to the entrance.
OK.
Let's rock and roll.
There's gotta be another entrance.
If the map's right,
there are several service tunnels spreading outward.
Worth looking for, right? - Let's go.
Ah. Jack...
Sara.
Sara. Seth.
Mr. Bruno and, I believe, Dr. Friedman.
What did you do to them? - Consider yourself lucky.
I could have had you both shot on sight for trespassing...
and violation of US government property.
Sara.
There you go. All right.
Sir. With all due respect, you have to listen to me.
They came in peace. We cannot respond with violence.
The future of Earth depends on it.
It is absolutely vital that they get home.
They are home, Dr. Friedman. They are now in my custody.
'Custody?' You can't expect to keep them prisoner and get away with it.
They have rights. - They're illegal aliens on US soil,
without so much as a passport.
The Patriot Act enables me to detain them for as long as is necessary.
You can't keep this quiet.
The world has the right to know that they exist.
And you're going to be the one to blow the whistle, doctor?
A failed astrophysicist fired by 3 universities for obsessing over UFOs...
teams up with an ex-con in declaring that the government...
has captured 2 normal-looking kids and is holding them hostage...
inside a mountain that doesn't exist?
It would be so much easier to let you speak...
than to deal with all the paperwork involved with killing you.
Someone will believe us. - From behind bars?
Let me remind you, Mr. Bruno, as a convicted felon,
you're looking at 20 years just for standing on this mountain talking to me.
Shall I go on?
No. I get the message.
Smart man. Give them a lift back down.
What? That's it? It's over?
I'm sorry. I will not go back to prison.
Let's go.
Thankfully Seth and Sara didn't have to witness how quickly you gave up.
I told them from the beginning it was a suicide mission, I wasn't wrong.
They trusted you. I trusted you.
Join the club of everybody else in my life who I've disappointed.
They will dissect them like frogs in biology. You know that.
It's not my problem and it never...
Hey.
By the way, that slap, very realistic.
When did you know?
You haven't bailed on the kids yet. Why start now?
How soon until the subjects are prepped?
They're heavily sedated.
Minimal med tests proceeding within 48 to 72 hours.
Unacceptable. Commence the procedure.
We don't know enough about their systems.
Any sudden change could terminate the subjects.
You can't just kill them.
Mr. Pope. You would do well not to forget what our mission is.
Our orders come from Washington,
and Washington wants answers to some very complex questions.
Our goal is to provide those answers.
Now, if you are doubting your ability...
No... sir.
Very good, then. Commence the tests, Mr. Matheson.
Right away, sir. Initiating tests.
Here. Here. - Coming... Almost...
After you. - I'm right behind you.
Thanks.
Back up. Back up for a second. - What?
It's gonna be OK. I'm gonna be here the whole time.
I'll be right below you the whole time.
I can. - You can.
Here I go. Oh, boy. - That's it. Right here.
You got it. - Here we go.
Ah. What's that?
Oh, no, Jack. Exhaust furnace.
This way. Come here. There's another tunnel right here.
Hurry. Hurry.
You OK? - Yeah.
OK. Let's go.
What now?
Find the kids. Don't get caught. - Good plan.
We're very close to determining the source of their powers.
Yes, sir, containment is at 100%
We've recovered the 2 targets and their spacecraft.
I understand. Thank you, sir.
And thank you for sticking by me and the project.
I know it's taken a long time to get here,
but we both agree it's been worth our previous failures.
All vitals appear to be stabilized.
Attention, all personnel.
South perimeter is now closed off.
South perimeter, closed off.
Stand by, all departments, for re-check of radiation.
Whiskey 7, we have penetration...
..in fence sector 28. Break. Tango 31. All stations, general alert.
Bruno. Deadly force authorized.
Project Moon Dust troops, meet me in sector 2.
Red alert, security breach.
Red alert, security breach. Red alert.
Close containment doors, all levels. Close containment doors, all levels.
This facility's on red alert.
Bravo Team, follow me. - Attention. Attention.
Go, go, go. Move.
Incoming.
Fall back. Fall back. Get those men out of there.
Hi. Can I borrow that pen?
I have 3 older brothers.
Sir, this area has been compromised.
Make sure the blast door's sealed. - Seal it off.
We got an Alpha Level One breach in the main complex.
All units, respond.
Isolate, lock down and secure your sectors now.
Keep moving. Keep moving.
We lost all communication with sector 5.
Come on, come on. Wake up.
We are under attack. I repeat, all levels have been compromised.
We are under attack. - Sir? Sir.
What was that?
No idea. It's cutting down our troops, driving for...
Straight for the lab. Let's go. Move. Move.
Let's go. Clear out.
What is it? - Uh, some sort of anesthetic.
Can you fix it? - I don't know, but I can try.
These locks are too strong.
Green is oxygen... - We got to hurry. We got to hurry.
All right...
Can't get'em open.
Seth.
Seth, it's OK. It's OK.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
...use extreme caution.
Intruder alert. Intruder alert.
Security team Bravo, please report.
Let's go.
It's over there.
Oh, my...
We have to hurry. - Well, tell them that.
Good idea.
Wait.
Excuse me.
Do you not hear the alarms?
Work in this sector is to cease immediately.
We have off-the-chart readings of sodium hypochlorite, xenon, hydrazine,
and you don't even want to know how bad the gamma radiation is.
But you're gonna have to do some serious,
and I mean serious, scrubbing down.
Who are you? - Who am I? Who am I?
I'll tell you who I am.
I am your worst nightmare at a court-martial, soldier.
You can either do as you're told,
or I can go tell Henry Burke you disobeyed his direct orders.
Your call. Choose wisely.
I'm pleased to inform you personnel have evacuated the ship's hangar.
What are you talking about? On whose authority?
Yours... sir? - Get out of the way.
Let's go. Move.
Thank you.
We were having a hard time figuring that part out.
Jack... - A brave but empty gesture, Mr. Bruno.
They're just kids.
Hold your fire. Hold your fire.
Go, go. Run. Run. - Get inside.
Get after them. - Alpha. Bravo, on me.
Go, go.
Cool.
Get this thing up in the air. Let's go.
Go, go.
Dude. I could really use a gun right now.
Thank you. This is a really big gun.
Come on.
Activate the shields.
Power's at 25% and increasing.
No, no. No, no.
You do know how to fly this thing?
How do you think we got here? - You crashed. Remember?
Siphon.
Hold on.
Got him.
Watch out.
Follow the tunnels. There you go.
Lock down the mountain.
Watch out.
Just shut it down.
Gates closing in 10,
9, 8...
Watch out. - 6...
The door. - 4...
The door. The door.
2, 1. - The door.
Whoo.
You did it. - We did it. We did it.
Whoa. What was that?
The airlock's jammed. I need to manually override the system.
You two fly. Just tell me what to do.
Alex, it takes 2 to pilot the ship. I need you to take the controls.
What? Are you insane?
Jack.
You're better with the mask on.
Jack.
Yes, he's here.
Sir, it's Washington. They have some questions for you.
Sir?
You both must hurry.
Only a matter of time before they get here.
Don't worry about us. - Sara and I want you to have this.
As long as it's in your possession, we'll always be able to find you.
Thanks.
Your parents will be very proud of what you've done here.
Thank you, Alex.
I once said that we could never count on humans to help us. Especially you.
I was wrong, and for that I am sorry.
You take care of yourself.
And your sister, too. Do you understand?
Yes. - Jack?
You guys remember that, me and Alex...
we're only a wormhole away. OK?
I want you to promise me something.
Take care of Junkyard for me.
Anything you want.
It's time.
You're a good man, Jack.
If everything that you wrote about in your book is true,
why risk coming out in the public at all?
Why haven't you been arrested yet, or worse?
We decided right away that the more public we went with the story,
then the less likely we were to... disappear.
And so far, clearly, we've been right.
Thank you all so much for listening. - Thank you.
Technically, I planned the whole mission.
www.frendz4m.com
A big nebula guy. How's it going?
Hi, boys. - Doctor.
Jack. Jack.
Howdy, boys. How you doing?
He touched me.
Come back to us, please.
Good boy.
Thank you.
Here we go.
