Race To Witch Mountain (2009)
Object of unknown origin
is at 90k and descending fast. Give me a visual track now! Zero match with anything on our database. It's manuevering! We're registering impact! Get me Henry Burke, now! Hey, you think this is it? This is the real deal. You'll learn. Squad and equipment locked and loaded. I've rerouted local law and media. Impact was 8 minutes ago, how long until we land? Imperial droid, drive your geonisian star fighters to planet... Hollywood. Die! Die! Awesome... Scan the perimeter, no one gets in and nothing gets out. Planet Hollywood, please. They've got everything here! This place is truly like being on another planet. With all this to see every night. You must never get bored. Welcome to the... nut job convention. I understand your reaction, they certainly aren't helping our cause. Our cause? Educating the public on the legitimate possibility of life on other planets. As a matter of fact, I'm giving a lecture on Astro-physical anamoly detection... at the... nut job convention. Feel free to stop by. Close minded skeptics are always welcome. Keep the change. Thanks. Dr. Alex Friedman. A classic. Hey come on! Knock it off, will ya? I need to sleep! Yeah, me too. I'm Casey Smith and we're back with a breaking news alert. An accident research like. And I'm Church Agee, we're gonna take you to our reporter live on the scene. Officials are calling it the worst chlorine spill in state history. A five mile security perimeter has been established. Highway Patrol Officers have been rerouting traffic since the early morning hours. And we're now being told, this section of Route 95, will be closed indefinitely. This is Natalie Gann, reporting. The cast we pulled outta the trench indicate a distinct pattern... alternating between the depth of the impressions, here and here. Suggesting not one, but two seperate E.V.E's that were moving fast. Bipedal... Possibly humanoid form. Review every data gathering entity within a 15 mile radius starting upon impact. Look out for any anomalies. Hey you guys gotta move this thing, I gotta go. Jack! Don't return phone calls anymore? Mr. Wolf thinks you're being rude. Tell Wolf that when I said it was the last time, I meant it. Mr. Wolf decides when its the last time. Not you Jack. He likes you Jackie. He hates to see you wasting your god given driving talent... giving fat tourists cab rides up and down the strip. But we're kinda late for that. It's what I'm late for. You got a death wish? I drive a cab in Vegas. You're dead, Jack! Hey! What're you doing? Are you insane? Now move this thing outta the taxi zone before I give you a ticket! See you soon, Jackie. W... Where'd you come from? Outside. Yeah, I figured that part out on my own. - How'd you get in the car? - Through that portal. I'm Seth, this is my sister Sara. We require transportation services immediately. Really? - Really? - Well I require... - Currency transaction. - Will this amount suffice? What did you two, rob a bank? Is this acceptable, Jack Bruno? How'd you know my name? If we have a deal for your services, we must move forward rapidly. It's urgent we get to our destination without delay. Alright, alright I'm going. Where to? I need an address! We must travel in that direction. Well I'm gonna need something more specific than just... that direction. We must locate latitude 40.54 cross intersecting longitude... We're just gonna stick with that direction. We tracked the two sets of E.V.E's foot prints on and off for 7.3 miles. Finally we lose them at a rest stop just off the highway. there was a Highway Patrol incident report filed at... at the exact same... rest stop. A car trunk was burglarized, no signs of forced entry... Give me something better than that Mr. Pope. Stolen clothing belonging to a couple of teenagers. Alright, we're in the game, people lets roll with this. Now two kids, don't walk down the Highway alone at night. We got a senior citizens bus landing roughly at the same time, same rest stop. Fast forward to, when the passengers are re-entering the vehicle. Fast forwarding... Stop. Rewind. Freeze. There. Looks like the bus picked up some extra baggage. Route schedule indicates next stop... Sin City. I want total access to every single surveillance camera Vegas has turned on. Check office buildings, warehouses, restrooms, department stores... look in... sewer systems if you have to. ATM's... Freeman Street and Main to be exact. Bank records indicate... They withdrew the entire contents of the machine... Fifteen thousand dollars, and also... they never used a card, they never even touched the machine, not once. These EVE's possess some extraordinary skills. Bingo! Here's the cab company's security camera. Keep your eyes on the back door of the cab. Right there. get me a license plate. They're on transport now. And no matter what they appear to look like, kill 'em... they're not children. They're not even human. Are your parents gonna be okay with you guys spending all this money? We have previously agreed upon our financial deal. If your concern is regarding compensation... My concern is the fact, that I got a couple of kids... in the back of my cab with a big wad of cash, with a drop off location thats pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Now in my book, thats a little chapter called "running away". Jack, you better be getting desert miles on that fare. And they better be able to pay. And you better get me an ETA! Capeesh? I'm losing reception, Dominick. Jack? Jack?! Oh, come on! Jack Bruno, the vehicles behind us are indicating a pattern of pursuit. There's no vehicles following. At your current rate of speed versus theirs... they will overtake our vehicle in less than one minute. Relax kid! I'm just gonna let them pass. Open road people, it's all yours. See what'd I tell ya, nobody is following us. I'm a king of these roads... Jack Bruno! I said I was out and I meant it! Who is Mr. Wolf, Jack Bruno? How do you know that... Get down now! Hold on. He is just a cab driver right? Jack Bruno, it would appear that we have not eluded them. I'm so over this. Stay down, stay down! Seth, no! It's not a good idea. - I have to try. - It's too dangerous. - Look out! - Now what?! Get out, get out! You two okay? We are... We should just keep moving. Stay here. What you didn't get the message? I told Frank and Marty I was out! You tell Wolf for me that he's gonna pay for my repairs. You are in way over your head here. I want a complete profile of the driver. You think he's collaborating? Either way he's a liability. Get me somebody at transport. How you two holding up back there? We're fine. I'm sorry I dragged you two into all of this. There's no need for you to apologize Jack Bruno. You're not always the one to blame. But the urgency of our trip has not decreased. Look don't worry, I'll get you to where you need to go. You've earned it. We're here Jack Bruno. Here? There's nothing here. Somebody's expecting you two right? Doesn't look like anyone's home. Don't worry Jack Bruno, we'll soon be reunited with relatives. Okay... $720.50... But after everything that went down today, how about I knock off 25%and I also... - Here Okay then. Goodbye to you too. Hey! You guys overpaid! By a lot! Unbelievable. Everything okay in there? Hello? What just happened? Jack Bruno you should not have jeopardized your life by following us. What sort of trouble are you two in? I suggest you return back to your vehicle. Your services are no longer required. - Seth he's just trying to help. - We don't need his help. Somebody's already been here looking for it. We simply cannot trust any of them. Just us, Sara. We appreciate your efforts to assist us Jack Bruno. But my brother is right. We can involve you no further. Got it! Let's go! Hey just tell me what's- Hurry up Sara. What is that? Hey! Don't go in the pimped out fridge, Jack. Hey! What is this place? This way. Hey hey, hey! Sara, it's here! What a- What is it? It is what we came for Jack Bruno! Really? Is anyone else lookin' for it? Say, is the person that trashed everything up stairs? We think so. It is very valuable. Which is why it was vital that we locate it first. What makes you so sure that whoever else wanted it, isn't still looking for it? Go... go! Run, run, run! Jack Bruno! Kids! Go, go go... Sara! Jack Bruno! Seth! We gotta go! Seth! Keep moving! Go go! Sara lets go! Get in! Hey how's your brother doing? - His system has the ability... - I will be fine. It is important we gain much distance from this location. Well, I'm happy you're feeling better. Because you're gonna need your strength when you explain to me, Just what happened back there! Alright here's the deal. The cab doesn't move until you're mouths do. So start talking. The information you are seeking is not within your grasp of understanding. We are dealing with issues outside the realm of... your world. Hey I'm a cab driver okay? I have had plenty of worldly experien- ...experiences. Sara! We have to go! What is it? Hang on! Hold on! We can't let him destroy it Sara. Who is 'he'? And this time I need real answers. - It's a Siphon. - A what? He's an assassin trained to pursue his target until his mission is completed. And his mission is... Us. Is there a safer route, Jack Bruno? Not unless you know how to fly. Jack Bruno! Come on come on, hold it together! Oh come on! Faster, faster! It won't go any faster! Sara! Hold on! Watch out! Jack Bruno... In and outta juve and state penns since he was a kid, grew up poor in Midland, Texas. Showed promise cutting his teeth driving demolition derby and dirt track... Ironically at the age of 16, his parents died in a car wreck. At 17 he ran away from his foster home. And he headed to Las Vegas in hopes of going from Stock car to NASCAR. Instead he found work as a wheel man for Andrew Wolf, the Vegas crime boss. His last bust was two years ago, Grand Theft Auto... he got out went legit and... uh. he's been driving a cab ever since. We spoke to Jack Bruno's boss at Yellow Cab... Bruno took a fare of significant distance outta the city. Dispatcher claims he's been unable to obtain radio contact for several hours. Does the cab have a tracking device? LOJAC. Until it stopped transmitting 20 minutes ago. For some crazy reason, last location was on train tracks. No, we cannot trust him. I know we can't. We must. Couple of kids, big wad of cash. What could go wrong! We know you're frustrated, Jack Bruno. No, no more Jack Bruno this, Jack Bruno that. - I've been asking for answers... - You already know the answers, Jack Bruno. My brother and I, are indeed not from your planet. That's it... So, that's it? Mystery solved! You two want me to believe that you're both aliens? It is the truth. Really? Well, you don't look like aliens. Well, what's an alien look like, Jack Bruno? You know what aliens look like! They look like, little... like, little green people, with antennas and laser guns! And "take me to your leader, earthlings!" He requires some sort of proof. He thinks we're insulting his intelligence. You think? You can't just drop the, "we're aliens!" bomb just like that, on somebody, Now, I know I've seen some pretty weird things today... but you can't expect me to believe that... I have the ability to move objects with my mind. That's impossible. No it's quite possible. On our planet as well as yours. You don't do it because you haven't learned to use your full brain capacity. No, I don't do it because it's kinda creepy. And I really would like you to stop. Jack Bruno! Come on! Come on, come on! The freight engineer is banged up, but alive. Last thing he saw in the tunnel was our taxi, and a set of flying lights. He figured it must've been a small plane. Small plane? Whoa, whoa, whoa... you guys think that there's a chance that there is a second ship? You have the ability to fly at the speed of light, yet you used a beat up cab? I don't think so. Secure the site. Catalog every piece of debris. I want to know what's train, what's cab, and what's left. Hello? Anyone here? We're closed! Oh, there you are. Yeah, I know you're closed, but, uh, we've experienced a little bit of car trouble... - so, I was hoping that maybe... - We're still closed. You should've experienced you car trouble when we were open. Well, I'll work on that next time. - This time, I really need you to... - Jack Bruno... The only thing that will convince Eddie Cortez to reopen for business... would be a significant amount of money. Wait a minute. Do I know you? No, absolutely not, you don't know them from anywhere. I'll pay you double your rate. - Why not triple? - Done! Really? What'd you get in a fight with a Rhinocerus? Poor Rhino. Poor Rhino, I know! I don't even know where to start with this baby. Well, where you can start is replacing the front shocks, and the tie rods, and patch up the radiator fix the exhaust and if you have 4 tires, I'll take those too... you got one hour. Over here... come on, sit, sit. Sit down. I hope you do not act upon your thought of making a fast break... out of the back door of Ray's, escaping the Stoney Creek. Never to look back at us again. H... how... how do you know that? My sister also has the gift of telepathy. She can read the minds of those nearest to her. Really? Well, you tell your sister that here on Earth, reading minds? Very rude. Don't do that. Guys! Welcome to Ray's! My name is Tina and I'm gonna be your server. Wow, look at the two of you. Ah... what'd you mean look at the two of them? They look like just two regular, innocent.. uh, all American kids. Well, it looked like they just rolled around in a pig pen... right before dinner, that's all. - Evening, Tina! - Sheriff Anthony! Your tables waitin' for you. I'm gonna send you a round of freedom pies huh? - Sounds good. - Thank you. Alright. Now, why don't the 2 of you come with me and we'll get you all cleaned up, huh? Hurry back. It's Jack! I've been trying you all night! Where are you? Drop that fare yet? No, not yet, it's... it's really, real complicated right now. Un-complicate it. I want my cab back. - Spotless. - Yeah, I... yeah... Dominick, I gotta go. Ja... Jack! Got 'em, Stony Creek. Okay, get us a transport. I want a clean extraction in 20 minutes. You know, I think it would be... Best for everyone if Seth and I found another ride? Seriously, you gotta stop doing that. Jack Bruno, it is understandable that you are scared... and confused considering all that has occurred today. I'm not scared. Just... a little confused. But... but the bottom line is, you guys need someone from... from... from NASA, or... or the Air Force, not me. If you abandon us now, our mission will be in serious jeopardy. Hey look, I'm just trying to be honest here, okay? I'm the wrong guy. A wise human once said, "You are what you think you are". Yeah, well, why don't you find that guy and ask him. It was the Buddha. He's unavailable. How is it, that beings on your planet... can be so large in form... yet feel so small inside. Maybe you need help too, Jack Bruno. Dominick I told you... Are they safe Jack? Who is this? My name is Henry Burke. I work within the Department of Defense. I handle their more sensitive cases. What'd you mean sensitive? I suspect we both know the answer to that question. Look they're just kids. They don't want any trouble and neither do I. Good, then we're all on the same page. Trouble is the last thing I want as well. But what I do want, and I'm counting on you to help me here... are your two passengers. What're you gonna do with them? Do you care this much about everyone that get's into your cab? You're a convincted felon, Jack. Spent most of the day breaking one law after another, for what? For them? What do you want me to do? Don't make a scene. You walked them into Ray's... you can walk them out. I'll take it from there. And to show my appreciation for your trouble, I'll wipe your slate clean. Just walk away huh? No harm, no foul? That's right just walk away. You've got 5 minutes Jack, then it's all over. See ya then. I don't trust him. Cover all the exits. They're here for us, aren't they? Yeah, they are. I knew we couldn't trust him Sara. Excuse me Sheriff? - It's too late, we have to run. Wait! I was just wondering what your town's policy is regarding concealed firearms? Excuse me? There's a whole lotta guns coming in right now. You're making a big mistake Sheriff. I'll take my chances. Dude I told you I should have a gun. Now might not be the best time to bring that up... dude. This is not good. Shh! Follow me. Up there. Okay. Thank you. Good luck. You have no idea who you're dealing with. There's a lock on the outside, we gotta find another... Hey! Hey! Or we could do that. Whatever that is. My brother has the ability to control his molecular density. Which allows him to phase through solid objects... or withstand greatest of impacts. That's neat, real neat. Well, you got some mighty big friends, in some mighty big places. You check out. Hi, little fella! We appreciate your understanding. Let's go. Got an open hatch leadin' to the roof. We're on our way. Hey times up we gotta go. Go? Mister I still got a lotta work to do. Next time we're in town, we'll make an appointment. Want my card? - No Taxi is on the move, I want every possible escape route locked down. I want that cab, and everyone in it! There's too many of them to outrun! Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Say goodbye to Stony Creek. No no no no! Not now, not now come on! Sara... Sara! Are you doing this? Sara, I said- Oh absolutely not! This Junkyard, is not going with us! I am done picking up stray passengers! Those guys who were chasing us, were the same ones from the highway right? Yes. It is vital that you take us to their base of operation. You want me to take you to the guys who are trying to kill you? Let me explain to you how we do things here, on Earth. People who want you dead, you avoid. That way you... ...stay alive. Make sense? No one on your planet will stay alive, if we do not return to our planet. In order to return, we need our ship. Those men who are trying to kill us, have stolen our ship. Make sense? Where do you suggest we begin our search? I don't suggest we begin searching at all. I do suggest we head back to Vegas, and drop you off right where you got on. You too. It's just as I thought. No human is going to help us, Sara. Especially not, this human. Hey! Easy on the human bashing, okay? Some of my best friends just happen to be human. And even if I were to help you I wouldn't even know where to begin. I don't know anything about, about UFO's or aliens... Who is Dr. Alex Friedman? She's actually somebody who can help. And for the record, she happens to be human. No sign of the taxi from anyone yet. Extend the search. They're out there. Sara. He would appreciate you pulling over so that he can relieve himself. Well we don't have time for that. He should've went before we left Stony Creek. He isn't pleased with your attitude. Really? Is that the way he feels? Well you remind him, that I'm a man... and he's a dog! And I'm not about to have this, or any conversation with a dog. So my answer is still, no. Junkyard says thank you. Did he now? Is there anything else he wants? He said he would love a bone, or a meaty treat? Top of my to-do list, just get in. Hey! I need you to keep the cab close and get the dog some water. Give him a meaty treat. Okay, stay close to me and don't talk to anyone. Nice and normal. I'm tellin' you he walked right past me. Bad move. This was captured by a far imaging telescope at the University of Bahn. 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 space ship? - Did they abduct you? - Excuse me? The aliens that abducted you, were they the Grays? 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 could erase your memory. With probes. Donald Harlan's book? You may have been probed. It's pure science fiction. People I am talking about science fact, here. Hard, hard data, not crop circles. Hey, you ever actually been inside a crop circle? I have! It was huge! It's where the mothership landed, where they took me on board... where I was married to an alien woman. That's it, I will not answer anymore questions... uh, about... alien abductions, crop circles, or Dr. Harlan, is that clear? If we could just get back to the matter at hand. People! Hello? I promise it'll be worth it, the blue nebula! We got a hit on Bruno's license plate. They're back in Vegas. The cattle mutilation lecture doesn't start for another hour... but... grab a seat, it's supposed to be packed. It always is. We're hear to see you, actually. Jack Bruno, we met earlier. We did? Cab? Airport to hotel? Driver? Oh, the non believer. What are the odds. Hey is there some place we can talk? The crowds in here making you uncomfortable? Even more private than this. Look, no offense but I'm pretty... 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 wanna help! Why, because I'm the nut job speaking at the UFO convention? Don't answer that. - I know it sounds really crazy. - You 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 space ship. No, we don't think it's our space ship. We know it is our space ship. That's it, I'm out. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just grab my laptop and... Oh, they can also do, all this stuff too. Who are you? Show her. This is huge! I have some questions! Even though you are the answers here standing right in front of me. I'm sorry. Very excited. Right. But where are you from? Our planet is located some But space travel of such sizable distance... is possible using a paradoxical passage in the unbound... Wormholes! That's it! My presentation at City National convention was right! Interstellar travel is possible using worm holes 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. Milennia of neglect has rendered our atmosphere unbreathable. That sounds familiar. Our parents are scientists who have studied Earth's changing climates... in hopes of finding a solution for our planet's future. As our people's fears began to rise and then our parent's... discovered something our leaders were very interested in. Your planet makes a suitable living environment for our kind. It would be simplest to abandon our dying planet and occupy yours. Okay so wait, I'm helping you conquer my own planet? No! Most of the people on our planet are fiercely opposed to this plan. But fear of extinction triumphed among our people. But then our parent's 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. Alright, so... what's the problem? Our military. They prefer the solution of 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 again? They were arrested for their opposition. We agreed to complete the task for them. And what about the assassin? Assassin? What assassin? The Siphon warrior series Duranian They're bred to hunt? They're bred to kill... If we don't return back home in time, the invasion will proceed. We seriously need to find your space ship. So, how well do you know this guy? Oh, we've done a few panels and debates together on opposite sides. No one knows the shadow world of UFO government conspiracies better than Harlan. Not now Whitley. Well hello, Dr. Friedman. So, you finally decided to accept my offer of a romantic Benihana dinner for two. Huzzah! What? Three... three years ago. A screening of the cooper footage? You were in the 4th row Sorry I keep my work and social life seperate, I don't date... colleagues. Colleagues! Indeed... Listen, we need to see Harlan right away. Doctor Harlan is presently unavailable for consultations. We're more than qualified to answer any... There is no time for that, it's a matter of life and death... that we see Harlan, now! Life and death, ooh! Ooh, what... scary drama queen... theatrics. Yeah, the 411, sitch... You're currently alive. Unless you take us to Harlan, you'll be dead. - Okay, yeah... together if you want... - Yeah let's go... together right now! Go away! The book signing's not 'till 4:30, read the brochure! Harlan, it's Alex Friedman. Dr. Alex Friedman. Kel-suprise! We have to speak with you immediately it is incredibly important. So, you're saying the three of you witnessed this reported UFO crash. That's right. We were wondering if there were any intel out there 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 SEDI and NORAD and NASA. We have reason to believe a team of government sponsored... covert operatives recovered the space craft. Okay, back up a little, this is not space camp. Let the experts do their work. You know, 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 mantis's they eat your flesh. Oh, oh yes, we are indeed lucky kids, not to have had our flesh eaten, by the aliens. You got that right, okay let's go to work here, I got an email from a source that sent me this SAT grab... Where would they take the space ship? Wright-Patterson? Vandenburg? Well, from the size and scope of the crash, I would say there is only one possibility. - Witch Mountain! - Witch Mountain!... What are we... a singing group here? - Let me talk, and you guys nod! - 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 its one of our... top secret facilities. They got a schematic here some place. You know if you're planning on visiting, don't. When I say this place is fortified up the ying yang, I'm making an understatement. Here's the schematic. - And, do you have the book? - Yes, I do. Alright 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 that 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. Promise. I'm gonna go grab my stuff, let's meet upstairs... in the convention at my booth, then we get your cab. Alex... huh, listen... I can't let you come with us. What?! If 1/2 of what Harlan says is true, it's way too dangerous. They got in my cab, they're my problem. Um... no! I have spent my entire life preparing for this moment... and now when I have two 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! 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 huh? At least as much as you were thinking about her. So, she didn't happen to mention in her thoughts that I was a... It's showtime everybody! Space Echo No. 9 it's upstairs come on! Should we go upstairs now? Yeah, yeah... let's go upstairs. Hey, do you think she was thinkin' about?... Seth! Sara! Seth! Jack! Tried to warn you Jack. Mr. Wolf 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, swamp rat? You're in our house now! 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... I sure hope we have enough fuelage to get back to planet Earth comrade! Fear not Celeste! We must get to the ship! My leg! Oh no! Look at that beast from another galaxy! Didn't I tell you two to stay by my side? Is this re-enactment an important piece of Earth's history? No, come on. Let's go, we gotta go. Jack Bruno! Sara! Let's go! Best convention ever! Other way... Sara, you listening to what I'm thinking? Gotta go! What happened to laying low? Who lays low in Vegas? We got em! Our suspects, no one else interferes! Do not move! DO NOT move! 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, inapparently 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... And 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've always been a "searcher" for answers. Though my folks would say I was merely a day dreamer. How about you? Me? I'm a... Much easier book to read. All my life my answers have been, yes or no. Zero gray areas. Where's the mustang fall? A yes or a no. That's not just any mustang. That's a 1968 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback. Steve McQueen's car in Bullet. Never seen Bullet? No. Dude... 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...?" Good in any universe apparently. Well, Alex? Well, the maps are 30 years old but they're the best intel we got. Looks to be about 5 miles from here to the entrance. Okay! Let's rock and roll. There's gotta be another entrance. If the map is right. There are several service tunnels running outward. Worth lookin' for right? Let's go. Jack... Sara! Sara! Sara! Seth! Mr. Bruno! And I believe Dr. Friedman. What'd you do to them? Consider yourself lucky. I could've had you both shot on sight for trespassing. In violation of U.S. government property. Sara! Sir! With all do 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 U.S. soil without so much as a passport. Patriot Act enables me to detain them for as long as is necessary. You can't keep this quiet. The world has a right to know that they exist. And you're gonna be the one to blow the whistle, Doctor? A failed astro physicist... fired by three universities for obsessing over UFO's? Teamed up with an ex-con... and declaring the government has captured two normal looking kids... and is holding them hostage inside a mountain... that doesn't exist. It'd be so much easier to let you speak, then to deal with all the paper work 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 now. What?! That's it, it's over? I'm sorry. I will not go back to prison. 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. And I wasn't wrong. They trusted you, I trusted you. Well join the club with everybody else in my life who I've disappointed. People dissect them like frogs in a high school biology class you know that! Whatever! It's not my problem, and it never will... By the way that slap? Very realistic. When did you know? Haven't bailed on the kids yet, why start now. How soon until the subjects are prepped. They're heavily sedated. Minimal main task 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 test, Mr. Matheson. Right away sir, initiating tests. After you. I'm right behind you. Thanks. - Back up! - What? Move back a second. It's gonna be okay, I'm gonna be here the whole time. Be right below you the whole time. What's that? Oh no, Jack. Exhaust furnace! This way! There's another tunnel right here. Hurry! You okay? Yeah. 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 recovered the 2 targets and the space craft. 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 I think we both agree, it's been worth our previous failures. All vitals appear to be stabilized. Bruno. Deadly force authorized. Project Moondust troops, meet me in sector 2. Bravo team, follow me. Fall back! Hi! Can I borrow that pen? I have three older brothers. Sir, this area has been compromised. Make sure the blast door is sealed. Seal it off! We got an Alpha Level 1 breach in the main hall brooks! All units respond. Isolate it, lock down and secure your sector now. Lost communication with sector 5. We're under attack. Repeat, all levels have been compromised. We're under attack. Sir! Sir! What is that? No idea. It's cuttin' down our troops. Driving a path straight to us. Head for the lab, let's go! Move! What is it? Some sort of anasthetic. Fix it? I don't know but I can try. Locks are too strong. Oxygen? Gotta hurry, gotta hurry! Can't get em open. Seth! Seth, it's okay. It's okay. I'm gonna get you out of here. Guys, its 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 hydrochloride, zenon, hydrazine, and you don't even want to know how bad the gamma radiation is. You're going to have to do some serious and I mean serious scrubbing down. Who are you? Who... who am I? Who am I?! I'll tell you who I am. I am your worst nightmare and Court Marshall soldier! Now you either do as you're told, or I can go... tell Henry Burke, you disobeyed his direct orders. Your call. Choose wisely. Sir, I am pleased to inform you... all personnel have evacuated the ship's hangar. What're you talking about? Under whose authority? Yours? - Sir? - Get outta my way. 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 run! Get after them! Alpha break left, Bravo on me! Cool. You gotta get this thing up in the air, let's go! Dude, I could really use a gun right now. Oh thank you, this is a really big gun. Come on! Activating shields! Powers at 25% and increasing. No, no no no! You do know how to fly this thing, right? How do you think we got here? Well, you crashed, remember? Siphon! Hold on! Got them! Watch out! Follow the tunnels! Here we go. Do not let them out! Watch out! Just shut it down! Wow. We did it! We did it, we did it! What was that? Air lock is jammed I need to manually override the system. You two fly, just tell me what to do. Alex! It takes two to pilot the ship! I need you to take the controls. What? Are you insane? Jack! You look better with the mask on! Jack! Yes, he's here. Sir, its Washington, they have some questions for you. Sir. You both must hurry. It's 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 its in your possession we'll always be able to find you. Thanks. Your parents would 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'm 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... a wormhole away! Alright, okay, 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... than 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. |
