[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh!
You're good. Very good.
Let's see how you are on sharp turns.
[BEEPING]
Night Man wins again.
[WHOOSHING]
Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
Night Man, zero. Blood Hound, mm!
You didn't tell me it was gonna get this close.
Maybe if you didn't sweat so much in that suit,
it wouldn't be so easy to find you.
Remember, it's a scent-guided homing beacon.
Yeah. Well, remind me to switch deodorants.
Just think of it,
I'm converting a multi-million dollar weapons experiment
into a peaceful device that can track anything
from lost kids to lost socks
within a five-mile radius.
This is gonna bring me back.
Just as soon as I can fix the rest of the bugs.
Bugs?
You didn't tell me it had bugs.
Ah, didn't want to worry you.
Besides, you're still alive, aren't you?
That's it. From now on, get someone else.
[BEEPING]
Someone just broke into my loft.
My designs are in there.
I'm right behind you.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[GRUNTING]
No, wait.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
Is that how you greet a friend?
[GIGGLING]
RALEIGH: Zentare?
What are you doing here?
My companion and I just happened to be in the star system,
and thought we'd look up my old comrades-in-arms.
Wait a minute, last time you were here,
you brought along the Dracons.
What kind of trouble did you bring this time?
You forget,
I'm the one who follows trouble.
Who's this?
Uh, Raleigh, Night Man,
this is Lar Vallize.
Hi, Lar. Are you a tracker too?
I am not.
She is not from Arkadon.
She is from the green planet of Aliestra.
Well, Lar from Aliestra, welcome to Earth.
Thank you.
I was wondering, Tauchi,
if we might spend the night.
Our vessel does not return until tomorrow, and...
Sure, you're welcome to.
It was nice to meet you.
Excuse me, I'm running late.
Thank you.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Spanish too.
Your education system has obviously quite evolved.
Not to mention our vastly greater brain power.
[SCOFFS]
Same old Zentare.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Oh, I gotta get going.
Why don't you two come downstairs?
We've really got a special show tonight.
Oh no, I don't think we...
That would be nice.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Yeah.
Hello. Hey!
Is this your office?
Yeah. Where's Lar?
Johnny's giving her a tour before the show.
Oh good, good.
Look, I'm sorry I had to desert you,
but this form has to be postmarked by midnight.
Oh, I understand.
Some government report?
You really know a lot about humans, don't you?
Our reading materials are reasonably complete.
A question.
There are billions of planets out there.
Why come back to this one?
You mean, of all the gin joints in the universe
why did I have to walk into yours?
You know our classics too.
A kiss is just a kiss.
That's an odd practice you have.
Pressing this portion of the anatomy together.
It's meant to arouse sexual feelings?
Not if it's your Great Aunt Martha,
but generally speaking,
and why is that so odd?
I suppose you have some sort of
an efficient little switch somewhere, right?
Click, click.
Thank you very much. Now let's go conquer another solar system.
No.
Actually, our pleasure centers are in the brain.
Just like yours.
We have ten linkages, you might call them.
And you?
Well, there's holding hands, and there's kissing,
and there's some sort of, general touching.
Did you say you have ten?
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
We call it the road to rapture.
Of course, you might arrive at the same end point as we do.
We should experiment.
Wh... You and me? Mm.
Uh... Uh...
Okay, but remember, this is just an experiment, right?
[EXPLOSION]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
Raleigh.
Oh.
[EXCLAIMING IN ANNOYANCE]
I thought we were...
We are!
Never mind!
[SIGHING]
She is attractive.
Do you mate with her?
Not anymore.
Maybe we should continue our experiment.
Uh...
The show is starting.
We should go.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
* See the way He walks down the street
* That's the way He shuffles his feet
* Why he holds His head up high
* When he goes walking by
* He's my guy
* When he holds my hand I'm so proud
* 'Cause he's not just One of the crowd
* Why is he always the one
* To try the thing They've never done
* Just because of that They say, hey!
* He's a rebel and he'll Never ever be any good
* He's a rebel 'cause he Never ever does what he should
* Just because he doesn't do What everybody else does

* He is always good to me
* Always treats me tenderly
* 'Cause he's not a rebel No, no, no
* He's not a rebel No, no, no

* If they don't like him That way
* They won't like me Until today
* And I'll be standing Right by his side
*Amazing

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
So, what'd you think?
It was wonderful!
We don't have anything like that on Aliestra.
Maybe I should go on an intergalactic tour.
I could bring the whole band. Could you?
Yeah, what do you think, Raleigh?
[LAUGHING] Sure. Why not?
[CLEARING THROAT]
Hey, Johnny, Raleigh.
RALEIGH: Hey. Hey.
You remember her.
Inspector Zentare from Interpol.
How could I forget?
JOHNNY: And this is Lar.
Nice to meet you.
JOHNNY: So... [FLY BUZZING]
What brings you here, Lieutenant?
Uh, you asked if I could have a drink with you tonight,
and I said yes, so here I am.
I'm here.
Uh, John, can I see you for a sec over there?
Yeah. Excuse me.
Excuse us.
She likes him.
She is formidable.
Briony? No.
They tried it once, but...
[FLY BUZZING]
RALEIGH: Right now, Lar has got a better shot.
No, that's an impossibility.
That Inspector Zentare of Interpol?
Well, I ran the name.
There is no Inspector Zentare of Interpol.
In fact, Interpol doesn't have any inspectors or detectives or agents.
Well, you learn something everyday.
She may be dangerous, John.
Now you're getting paranoid.
Paranoid?
Paranoid.
Okay, fine, well, don't say I didn't warn you.
[SIGHING]
Uh... See?
He follows her.
What makes you think your know more about human sexuality
than I do?
Well, some things are universal.
Not to mention I am more evolved than your little brain.
That's twice.
Hey, wait up.
Paranoid? You know, that is so typical of you.
I see you sitting there with this woman, God only knows who she is,
it could be a dangerous situation.
[MAN YELLING]
Keep it down.
Some of us are trying to sleep.
Whatever. Listen.
JOHNNY: Zentare does have a history.
I can't get into it right now, but she is not dangerous.
Neither am I.
Yeah, nobody listens...
[CLATTERING]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
Oh, you know, I was here first.
You go find somewhere else to sleep, buddy.
[GROWLING]
What's mine is yours, eh, buddy?
[MAN SCREAMING]
Do you smell that?
Sweet. Like spiced rum.
[DIALING]
Officer needs assistance.
Northside alley. Bayonne River Front.
Get the coroner out here.
CORONER: Neck is definitely broken.
In fact, it has been crushed.
The assailant did this with one hand,
going by the indentations on the neckline.
What about the face?
It's definitely been removed.
By what means, I couldn't say.
Whoever did this used an instrument,
better than anything we've got.
How could anyone cut away an entire face?
The question is why.
You don't wanna see this. Yes, I do.
[GASPS]
Jeez, uh...
Step back, please. Behind the tape.
JOHNNY: You've seen this before, haven't you?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Whoever killed that man wasn't human, was it?
Again? You've got to be kidding me.
Please, we appreciate your hospitality,
but we must be moving on now.
Lar, you know what it was.
If we stay here,
you will all be in danger.
This thing is after you, isn't it?
If it found you on a tiny blue planet,
on some other galaxy, it will find you here.
I have been charged with protecting Lar.
I've taken a sacred vow to do so.
You should not get involved.
I don't know what this is about.
But I can't walk away from it now.
Right.
What choice do we have?
Very well.
We cannot stay around here.
We must go where there's a large group of people.
Safety in numbers.
There's a place around the corner.
We can talk there.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Phew.
This is very different music,
and most expressive body language.
It's called dancing.
Dancing?
[SCOFFS]
Whoa, Johnny Domino, I presume.
Hey, Lester, how goes the Revolution, man?
Oh, man, I'm the man where all the fun is.
I heard that.
Hey! What's up, Raleigh?
What's going on, Lester? You, baby!
[BOTH LAUGHING]
What can I get for you? Uh...
Let me have two surprises, and two waters.
Okay. All right.
We protrude like aching digits.
Uh, you stick out like sore thumbs?
That is it.
You wanted safety in numbers.
This is safety in numbers.
Why don't you tell me who is after you?
Very well.
In my star system,
there are two inhabited planets.
My world of Aliestra,
and the neighboring world of Thwarta.
LAR: These two planets were once united
in common heritage and tradition.
But an argument that no one even remembers
has embroiled the two in a war
that has lasted over a millennium.
I am the Kadiva of my world.
ZENTARE: It is like a princess.
And the future heir to Aliestra.
I am to be married to the High...
Emperor of Thwarta,
in hopes that the union may finally bring peace
to our two war-ravaged worlds.
And someone doesn't want that peace to happen.
The war lords.
The war lords of both worlds
are very powerful.
They have hired assassins from all over the galaxy
to search for me.
Well, looks like one of them found you.
And he will not stop until she is dead.
And with no heir, and no union,
the war lords will finally overthrow both families.
Our ship does not return until tomorrow night.
Thanks, Lester.
Until then, none of us are safe.
No, no, no, man. You had the ball lined up.
You could lose all your money already.
[SQUISHING]
[GASPING]
Take it easy, it's just a roach.
Insects are holy where she is from.
[SNIFFING]
[GROWLING]
[GRUNTING]
Zentare!
[GRUNTING]
Revolution lives!
[GROANING]
[WOMAN SCREAMING]
Run!
[YELLING]
[GRUNTING]
[PANTING] You okay?
Yeah.
I have to stop him before he gets Lar.
Take care of her.
Right.
Well...
Night Man meets Weed Man.
[EXPLOSION]
Raleigh.
The shooter, where did he go?
Out that way.
Hang on. Paramedics on their way.
Thanks.
What are you doing, jumping in front of a blast like that?
For somebody that's supposed to be so smart,
that was a pretty stupid move.
You must not let them take me away.
If they find out I'm not a human...
You have a chest wound, you need to be treated.
There is another way.
Go on after him. Go, go!
Easy, easy.
You wanna tell me what the hell that thing was?
Wanna point that thing somewhere else?
Mmm, I don't think so.
See, I finally got you where I want you.
Lieutenant, remember I've saved your butt a couple of times.
But your vigilante days are over.
It's time to take you in.
I don't think so, Lieutenant.
Not today.
[GUN FIRING]
[SIRENS WAILING]
[BEEPING]
Huh? She's gone!
You guys look over there, I'm gonna look this way.
Let's go.
[ZENTARE GRUNTING]
[BEEPING]
You know, for an alien, you're pretty smart.
You're not so bad yourself for...
Don't.
MAN: Exact going fare only.
Where's my money?
Where am I?
You're on my street, that's where you are!
Keep walking, before I kick that funny little butt of yours!
You're looking for me?
I got what you need.
[SNIFFING]
[GROWLING]
[SCREAMING] [SKULL CRACKING]
In here.
RALEIGH: What kind of doctor lives in a dump like this?
She's not exactly a doctor.
[SQUAWKING]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Mare Zoline?
A tracker? Here?
We need your help.
I should say you do. Come in, come in.
[BIRD WHISTLING]
Uh, not there.
This way.
RALEIGH: What is this place anyway?
My laboratory. Over here.
Easy. Okay.
This is incredible.
By your standards, maybe.
I've had to fashion most of this equipment
from televisions, microwaves, you name it.
Arkadon cut out my supply lines
some years ago.
How long have you been here?
Oh, about 30 years.
Just after your people finally landed on the moon,
I thought Arkadon forgot all about me.
Is she gonna be okay?
Hard to say, I'm not exactly a physician, you know.
Then what exactly are you?
A botanist.
You study plants.
Since I am the only Arkadon scientist here,
I brought my discipline to include the study of fauna,
and occasionally, humans.
When they do something interesting.
Which is rare.
[ZENTARE MOANING]
Briony.
Well, well, look who wandered in.
Leaving the scene of a crime is a major offense, you know.
So did you find her?
No, no, I haven't.
Now Raleigh and Zentare are missing.
You know what happened to them?
That's a good question.
She apparently vanished right in front of the paramedics,
and Raleigh took off.
You know, you and your friends
aren't exactly making this case easier for me.
The gunman had the same face as the corpse you found in the alley.
I know, I ran into him when he was fighting with...
Anyway...
Forensics pulled pieces of black of fabric from the club.
I'm pretty sure they belong to the assailant.
BRIONY: Covered with some strange green substance.
Lieutenant, may I speak to you for a second?
Please tell me we caught the guy.
Um, not quite.
What's up?
We've had another face ripped off.
Where?
Three blocks south of the business district.
BRIONY: Give me the report as soon as possible.
Definitely.
Hey, where are you going?
I still need a statement from you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
How are you doing, baby?
Hi.
You new around here or something?
I'm lost.
[LAUGHING]
Baby, everybody around here is lost, you know.
But you what, your friend is here now.
Look, you're hiding out, right?
Well, I got the perfect place to hide,
by those stairs, baby.
No one will find you.
[BEEPING]
That should do it.
So she's okay?
If she were a human, she'd be dead.
But only one of her hearts was damaged.
That's the great thing about visceral redundancy.
Rather impressive for a botanist, huh?
I'm impressed.
Now what she needs is rest.
You could leave her here
until she is ready to travel on her own.
Wait a minute.
She's got to protect Princess Lar from the assassin.
An assassin's here?
Yeah, one that happens to have the habit of cutting people's faces off.
Did you get close enough to smell it?
Um, yeah. It smells like something...
sweet, but sickly sweet.
Ah!
A free form, carnivorous, photosynthesizing zeta, ah!
Oh, wonderful, ah!
You obviously haven't met one before.
But I'd love to!
You see, it's one of the only
intelligent life forms in the galaxy
that's evolved from plants.
They are like weeds, very hard to kill,
which is why they make perfect killers.
[WHOOSHING]
You have a lot of trouble on your hands, friend.
This is her mission. I can't do this without her.
Sure, just pass it back to someone else.
All your little brains are the same.
Carbon dioxide is poisoning your atmosphere,
and the rainforests which filter it out are almost gone
but that's not your problem, either.
Okay.
What can I do? How am I supposed to find Lar?
You seem to be an intelligent creature for a human.
Use that little brain of yours.
Use your nose.
My nose.
Take care of Zentare.
Hey.
[PHONE RINGING]
Yeah?
RALEIGH: Hey, it's me.
Where are you?
It's a long story. Look.
Zentare is gonna be okay, but she's gonna be out of action for a while.
I have a feeling the assassin is getting closer to Lar.
We don't have much time.
I have an idea.
You have Lar's cloak in your loft, right?
Yeah, so?
I think it's time we give the bloodhound a field test.
Right, right.
It could lead us right to her.
You're very kind to help me like this.
Oh, baby. No thing, baby.
Ain't no thing, but...
You know you're gonna have to do
a little something for me now.
What do you want from me?
Oh, no, baby.
I want you to work for me.
So, uh, you know I got to test my merchandise, right?
[CHUCKLING]
Where are you going, baby? We're just having fun.
[WHIMPERS]
You can't do this.
Oh, yeah?
See, you may not notice, but...
you belong to me now.
If this thing can regrow parts,
we're just gonna have to figure out a way to stop it.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm placing Lar's cloak fragment in the spectral scanner.
[BEEPING]
There's her thermal signature.
Now I program the bloodhound to search for this molecule.
What's this?
RALEIGH: Ha-ha. Self-destruct mode.
If there's a danger of the bloodhound falling into enemy hands,
there's just enough explosive in there to incinerate it.
Can you re-target this thing after it has been launched?
Sure. Why?
This Weed Man has a very...
uh, distinct smell.
Oh.
Is this what I think it is?
Ha-ha, of course.
Brilliant.
Your bloodhound has been upgraded to Weed Whacker.
[BEEPING]
We're on, baby.
Okay, let's do it.
Find Lar, baby.
[BEEPING]
[WHIMPERING] [SINISTER LAUGH]
You know, you better learn to be a little more cooperative.
If you want to live.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[SQUELCHING]
[GASPING]
Come on.
[GROANING]
You got a nice smile.
Why don't you let me widen it out for you?
[CRUNCHING]
[SCOFFS]
[BEEPING]
All right, Johnny, the bloodhound has entered the red light district.
About 650 yards southwest from your location.
[LAR SCREAMING]
[GRUNTS]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
Hey! What are you doing? Hey.
STOREKEEPER: You're gonna have to pay for that!
RALEIGH: Better hurry, man.
It's almost on top of you.
I hear you. Once I find her,
give a search and destroy command.
[GROWLING]
You have to go through me.
[GRUNTING]
[SHRIEKS]
Now, Raleigh!
[BEEPING]
RALEIGH: Got it.
Come on, Raleigh.
All safeties off.
Self-destruct mode... initiated.
Set to explode on impact.
What? Uh...
Johnny, we have a little bit of a problem here.
Oh, you got problems?
What do you think I've got?
I realized something.
Plants don't have pheromones like humans do,
and your skin was the last thing to touch that cloth.
[GRUNTING] So?
The bloodhound is targeting you. Get out of there!
JOHNNY: I'm a little busy right now.
Think of something, Raleigh.
I can't override. We've got about five seconds.
Zentare!
BOTANIST: There's nothing left.
No stamen, no pistil, no seed, pod...
I can't believe it, there's got to be something here.
[SIGHS]
What took you so long?
I, um... slept in.
Couldn't you save the finger, at least?
Raleigh, we're all okay down here.
Night Man, one.
Bloodhound, zero.
[SIGHING]
We cannot thank the two of you enough.
You have helped maintain peace in the galaxy.
You have also proven that you are the tall chain.
The chosen one.
You thin the war lords will try anything else?
Our escorts are waiting for us on the other side of your moon.
Thanks to you, Raleigh.
And to you, Johnny.
The ceremony will take place
and I will rule both worlds with my mate,
and the war will finally come to an end.
We are glad to help.
And, Doc, thanks to your help.
It's time for me to go back.
Lar has allowed me to travel with her to Aliestra.
Fascinating world.
You won't believe the variety of plant life there.
About that lab of yours, is there any way...
Sorry, friend.
They are already gone.
You people aren't really for that kind of technology.
Little brain.
Had to ask.
I'm afraid I haven't been completely honest with you both.
I am not as I appear to you.
[BEEPING]
Well, we must depart.
Goodbye.
Maybe I will see you again sometime.
He's looking at you, Raleigh.
[BEEPING]
Well, looks like we saved the galaxy again,
and this time, I didn't wreck your car doing it.
Yeah.
