I was ashamed to admit
you were my brother.

Jacks. Jacks is
a game for girls.

Next, you'll be
skipping rope.

You play with G.I.
Joe. That's a doll.

For your third-grade information, G.I. Joe
is not a doll.

He's an action figure.

Take off his helmet, he's Ken.

Right.
Does Ken have a gun?

He's not in the Army.

Of course not.
There's a military ban in effect.

What's the matter?

ZACK: Is it a hobo?

(FLIES BUZZING)

Touch him.
See if he's alive.

You touch him.

You spotted him.
You touch him.

I'm not touching him.

He seems...

Seems what?

Dead!

BOTH: Mom!

Let me tell her, Zack.

I want to tell.
I saw him first.

No ID. Could be a homeless person.

Did he die here or was he dumped?

Not much rigor.
Core temperature is still in the nineties,

so he hasn't been dead long. Autopsy.

No, Carter.

No questions, no discretion.

Autopsy, absolutely.

Maxine, go with him.

Dead man in our trash.

And I touched it!

Yes, honey, I know.

On the left foot with the right hand.

You were very brave.

Why can't we go outside?

We discovered him.
We're missing all the good stuff.

A man's death is not good stuff, honey.

He had maggots in his mouth.
All right.

You didn't see his mouth.
Did, too.

Hey. Excuse me.
It could have been tapioca.

A man has died here. Now let's take a
moment to think about that.

CARTER: This man was branded.
MAXINE: What?

Tiny tattoo right here.

Some kind of hieroglyphics.

Never seen these symbols before.

Possible concentration camp.

The man was Jewish.

How can you tell?

Ethnic features, circumcision,

yarmulke, prayer book in his pocket,

Hebrew on both sides of the page.
I think he's Orthodox.

And that's your medical conclusion?

Never mind the ridicule.

Don't mock me about an autopsy, Max.

This is a high-stress procedure.

Just tell me how he died.

Respiratory failure,
likely brought on by cancer.

Cancer?

Multiple systemic.
Brain, liver, lymphoma.

The man had cancer of the everything.

Probably some kind of poison.

What?

I think he was exposed to massive doses
of radiation.

How can you be sure?

He's got thermal scarring
all over his body.

This was no boating accident.

It's not cancer
radiation treatment either.

The scars are too
random and irregular.

Massive radiation.

This seems almost nuclear.

Nuclear?

Check missing persons
in every town with a reactor.

Oh, Carter, don't get into this.
That kind of cancer...

Don't dismiss this, Jimmy,
those thermal burns were outrageous.

Maybe he lived near the power line.

Power lines wouldn't do it!
Not like that.

Where's my corpse? Where is my
John Doeberg? Wrongful death.

This must be a civil rights violation.
Go away.

Oh, Reverend, I'm sorry.
Not you.

I'm in no mood for your pleasantries.

This is a very delicate matter,

and I'd appreciate
a little more sensitivity.

On what? Your stiff was a Jew.

WALD: Will you please...
DOUGLAS: Did you drain out all the fluid?

I'm a medical examiner, not a mortician.

What about next of kin?

We don't know. We're running the prints
and dental records.

If it's all right with you,
I'd like to sit shomer.

Excuse me?
Shomer.

A person of faith must stay with
the corpse until it's buried.

You stay with the corpse?
No, no, no. This isn't appropriate.

According to Jewish tradition,

the shomer sits vigil,
accompanying the soul.

That body is evidence.
I won't have it tampered with.

Look who's accusing who of tampering.

You did an autopsy.

I ordered the autopsy.
There were open questions about his death.

An autopsy was mandated.
It's okay.

You enjoy this, Carter.

Any chance you get, you'll cut up cadavers

to satisfy your deviant little
perversions. I don't have to

stand here and listen to this.
JIMMY: Carter.

This man needs therapy.

Hey, Carter, what the hell are you doing?

I don't care.

I'm tired of being called perverted.
You don't hit a man, Carter.

What is wrong with you?

Are you all right, Rabbi?
RABBI: Is it broken?

JIMMY: No, I don't think so.

I'm pressing charges.

Let's regroup here, all right?

Somebody needs a lawyer, Carter.

He assaulted me.
I am pressing charges.

This is ridiculous.

You committed an assault.

I was provoked.
You heard him.

At the very least, I should be released
on my own recognizance.

I'm a trusted member of this community.

I'm doing you a favor here.

By holding you in custody
for a while, the Rabbi may feel

vindicated and maybe he won't press
charges, which he's entitled to do.

Prints on the John Doe came back.

His name is Daniel Ruff. He disappeared 38
years ago. Daniel Ruff. Daniel Ruff.

He was a sheriff in a small town
in New Mexico.

A sheriff?
Daniel Ruff?

He went out for
lunch one day,

didn't come back.
He just disappeared.

That was 1955.

I know who Daniel Ruff is.

He investigated a spaceship crash
in New Mexico.

July of 1955, an alien spacecraft

allegedly crashed in New Mexico
during a lightning storm.

Oh, please.

I'm a UFO aficionado.
I know these things.

There was supposedly
a big government cover-up.

Carter... Jimmy.

Check your records.
Run them through the FBI.

The man's disappearance had something to
do with the spaceship crash.

Maybe that explains the radiation scars.

Your medical examiner's right.
It does explain it.

Dan Ruff was at the crash site
of something unidentified.

Now, the government claims it was
just a satellite.

Do you work for the government?

I used to work for NASA.

I was basically pushed out
for publicly admitting

what a lot of my coworkers
believe privately, that UFOs do exist.

So, let me get this straight.
You head up an organization that monitors

space sightings?

A private organization, yes, which
Dan Ruff was involved with.

Now, four months ago,
he left without telling us anything.

We've been looking for him ever since.

Why did he come to Rome?

That's exactly what I want to find out.

His name is Daniel Ruff.

Apparently, no next of kin.

Then I would like to bury him. Today.

Well, we still have to go
through some red tape,

and we have to exhaust
the search for relatives.

Jimmy, he's Orthodox.
He should be in the ground before sundown.

I'm sorry, I can't release this body.

Why?

Given his identity
and the new information,

I need to continue my examination.
No, you don't.

Wait a minute, now.
I haven't completed my findings.

Sheriff, I swear he's going to drain the
fluids. He's not going to touch it.

He's not going to do it.
I want this man out of my morgue!

Quiet, the two of you!

Now, you said it was natural causes.
New circumstances.

He wasn't killed by aliens! I haven't
completed my pathological findings.

That body is to remain in my custody.

BAILIFF: Case number 42697.

Douglas Wambaugh appearing
for the dead Jew, Your Honor.

I ask that the body of Daniel Ruff

be placed in the Rabbi's custody,

so that he may be given a proper burial.

Wait a second. Wait a second.

My papers show that you're representing
Carter Pike.

On a criminal matter, sir.

But that will come later.

But first, I have an ex parte motion
on behalf of the Rabbi,

asking you to order Carter
to release Daniel Ruff's body.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.
Are you telling me

you're in my courtroom
today with two cases?

One representing the Rabbi against Carter,

and the other representing
Carter against the Rabbi?

A man is nothing if not flexible.

This is too confusing.

What's confusing?

Carter hit Barry.

That puts him on an assault charge.

I defend Carter... And you win.

That complaint is dismissed.

What?

Barry, you didn't get hurt
and you insulted him.

I'm not wasting this court's time
on anything so stupid.

What is the next case?

Your Honor, my client, the Rabbi,

wants Daniel Ruff to have
an Orthodox Jewish burial,

which must occur before sundown,

but that idiot, Carter, wants to keep
probing all his cavities.

Hey, you're my lawyer, for God's sake.

Carter, what's the deal?

Why can't he have the body?

Well, there's still a few questions,
Your Honor,

I have over the radiation exposure.

He thinks that the man
was killed by Martians.

I didn't say Martians.

I don't believe in Martians.

Neither do I.

Your Honor, may I address the court?

Who the hell are you?

My name is Wendy Hill, Your Honor.
Thank you.

I head up an organization that monitors

close encounters and UFO sightings.

I show you our articles of incorporation.

In 1955, something fell out of the sky

and landed in the New Mexico desert.

It's called the Bagwell Incident.

Who cares?

Sheriff Daniel Ruff went to the site

and very well may have been
exposed to the radiation that...

I'm sorry, you said your name was?

Carter, Pike.
ME, Chief Pathologist.

Wendy Hill, very nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Hey, who the hell are you
and what do you want?

Mr. Ruff's body.

We think he was exposed to radiation
from an alien spacecraft.

Are you nuts? Quiet.

HILL: I'd just like for my doctors
to look at the body.

And since the man is already dead,

I would submit, "What's the harm?"

The harm is it
violates Orthodox tradition.

He's supposed to be buried
within 24 hours.

Well, hopefully he will be.

You can resume your shomer.

Don't patronize me. I know all about
you and your traveling circus.

That "circus" raises
valuable research money.

We don't want your carnival in Rome.

Get out.

Carter.

You're interfering with our examination.

You either remain silent or you get out.

This is the only marking?

Yes.

I thought possibly he was in
a concentration camp

and maybe he'd been branded.

This isn't German, or any language
I'm familiar with.

It's symbols. But it's not Chinese either.

Let me look at the stomach burns.

Right there, see?

Now, those are thermal,
and look at the shape.

God.

What do you think?

Well,

what you're going to think is
that I'm crazy,

because I think that this man
has been abducted by aliens.

(CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYING)

MAN: Get in line
for The Abduction Experience.

MAN 2: Get your cosmic collectibles.

We got your Saturn stones.

We got your Moon rocks.

It is a circus. You know what?

I'm a little embarrassed about that.

Well, then, why do you do it?

Funding.

Concessions and merchandising,
believe it or not,

they pay for all of our technology
and research.

We have MIT scientists on our payroll,

salaries paid for by
selling those T-shirts.

Oh, sure, Carter, I'd rather be doing
my studies at some university,

but federal grants...

They're just so tough to get.

So, instead, you sell cotton candy
and carnival games.

Yeah.

Oh, I've been abducted.

Look at this.

We went inside the abduction booth.
It was cool.

Yeah.
They spin your around upside down.

I think I'm going to be sick.
Are you?

I'm an alien, Dad.

(ROARS)

Can I have one of those green hamburgers?

This is madness.

It isn't madness.

You don't have to sit here all night,

and this vigil isn't really
followed much anymore.

And you're not even sure
that he's Orthodox.

He could have been buried already
if you'd done your job.

I did my job. I made a forceful argument.
But the Judge...

You lost the case before
even getting to the arguments.

"Douglas Wambaugh
appearing for the dead Jew."

That was offensive.

That was just a punchy, quick opener.

It validated the very disrespect

we went in there to extinguish.

You may be a self-hating Jew, Douglas,
but though...

Hey, you may be the first Rabbi to get

dropped twice in the same week.

I take my religion seriously.

Very seriously.

I never see you at synagogue.

There's no synagogue in this town.

I go in Windsor.

And I don't need your approval

to make me a worthy Jew, Barry.

I'm sorry. It's just...

I feel as if this whole thing
has been some kind of sign.

What do you mean?

Why don't we have a synagogue in Rome?

There's no Jewish community to speak of
in this town

because we don't insist on it.

And that's my failing.

This is a Christian town.

A nameless man wearing a yarmulke

ends up in a trash can.

I have to take that as a wake-up call.

So should you.

You've really helped us today, Carter.

I did?

Standing up in court.

Raising the questions over radiation.

I was just doing my job.

You took a stand.

You took a risk.

You called the FBI?

There's something to it. UFOs...

You're going to turn this office
into a laughing stock.

The Air Force investigated
UFOs for 15 years.

They also told me the evidence
concerning the crash site

in New Mexico has been sealed.

Why?

They didn't tell me that.

I think it's a conspiracy.

Not a conspiracy in a classic sense.

The government isn't concealing
the evidence so much,

but it's concealing the question.

What question?

The question that there could be
extraterrestrial life.

It's not in our national interest
to admit the possibility.

Why not?

Our society is founded on building
for the future.

Families open savings accounts.

Corporations sell stock. Wall Street.

Our entire economy is predicated
on an investment in tomorrow.

What does that have to do with UFOs?

The recognition of aliens from outer space

threatens our sense of future,

and that is why, until the government

is prepared to give us answers,

best to withhold the question.

That is ridiculous, even for you.

That is not ridiculous.

Did you know that Ronald Reagan
and Mikhail Gorbachev

even discussed the possibility
of joining forces

in case there was an invasion
from outer space?

Jimmy Carter has claimed
to have seen a UFO.

Every year, thousands of people
say that they...

Have you ever seen one?

No. But the state police chased one
in January.

They never proved it was a UFO, Max.

There are support groups all over...

Oh, God.
...for people who have been abducted.

You are crazy.

Maybe I am crazy.

But Dan Ruff was behaving very
mysteriously before he left.

He kept rambling on about a communication.

What do you mean, "a communication"?

He was never clear.

And then suddenly he was gone.

Our radar has been tracking objects
in this area,

and we think that maybe...

That Dan Ruff... I don't know.

We think that maybe he came here to
make contact.

Oh, the look.
Oh, I know that look.

Why? What?

"She's crazy.
She needs therapy." That look.

I wasn't thinking that.

It's okay, Carter.

I get ridiculed wherever I go.

I'm used to it.

Does it hurt?

The truth? Yes.

Going around talking about alien life,

you'd think I'd be braced for the
laughter, but, yeah,

it still stings.

I'm laughed at all the time.

People joke about how I touch the dead
bodies, and I don't. I never did.

They think I'm a perverted
little loner who...

You don't have a girlfriend?

I date.

But the last two women I...

One of them turned out to be
a transsexual,

and the other ran over her husband
with a steamroller, so...

It's true. I have bad luck.

Me, too.

Well, I guess I better get back to
the trailer park.

I don't want my entourage to be worried.

Okay.

Okay.
Carter.

You're a very sweet man.

What?

I saw something.

What?

I don't know. I don't...

Are you making fun of me?

No. I... It was a...

I don't know.

It's just your imagination.

It's not my imagination.

There was something there.

The Rabbi was making it seem like the
man ended up dead

because I'm a bad Jew.

If that's what he was implying,

Douglas, you know it's ridiculous.

You didn't know Daniel Ruff,
you didn't kill him,

and you're not going to keep me
up all night

with one of your semi-annual,
self-loathing Jew seminars.

I don't do that.

You do do that.

Every so often you go off on
these tangents.

What do you need to prove?

What is it you're trying to get past?

Just go to sleep.

You're disturbing my cigar.

It's the old joke, Miriam.

Two Jews get dragged by anti-Semites
before a firing squad.

The first one cries,

"Stop it, you're murdering
an innocent man."

The second one goes,
"Don't make trouble."

When I was eight years old,

I came home from the temple
with Mitch Bornstein,my best friend.

When the kids saw a yarmulke on his head,

they started to beat him.

There were five of them and they
were bigger.

Then they turned to me and I yelled,
"I'm not Jewish."

I don't remember even thinking to say it.

All I could hear were the words
as they came out of my mouth.

"I'm not Jewish."

I just didn't make trouble.

There were five of them.

What else could you have done, Douglas?

Nothing I can do about it.

My parents were murdered in the Holocaust.

Nothing I could do.

A Jewish man ended up dead in garbage.

Nothing I could do.

Just don't make trouble.

You're listing aliens as cause of death?

I'm listing cancer as cause of death
by radiation poisoning,

and I'm saying that the kind of poisoning

can only be consistent with a
supernatural phenomenon.

REPORTER: You're kidding.
Space people?

There's been no evidence of Daniel Ruff

being exposed to any kind of
nuclear disaster.

The government says that was a satellite.

No satellite gives off that kind
of radiation,

and 40% of the people exposed

to this supposed satellite have died
of cancer.

That, plus the tattoo numbers,
suggests that the government

may be covering up the fact that an alien
spaceship did, in fact, crash.

Hold on, hold on.

Okay, we know intelligent life
has to be out there.

The disciplines of cosmochemistry

and planetology have long recognized it.

And it's time that somebody somewhere

in law enforcement be brave enough

to come forward and do so.

This is about having the guts

to tell the public something they may
not want to hear.

I am telling you now.

(REPORTERS CHATTERING)

Are you out of your mind?

Jimmy, if I'm wrong, at least I might
motivate public awareness.

But, Carter, to officially say

"Exposure to alien spacecraft"?

Nothing conclusive.

I listed it as a possibility.

You are the Medical Examiner.
You have an obligation to...

Thousands of people every year report

UFOs, Jimmy.
The Air Force themselves.

Why didn't you consult me first?

Why did you just simply call a press
conference?

Because I knew you'd shut me down.

I felt it was important to say
what I had to say,

if for no other reason

than it would give rise to the question...
It was irresponsible.

It was incomprehensibly stupid.

Don't call me stupid!
It was stupid!

MAXINE: Carter, what is with you?

I saw something last night.

About 11:30, I saw an unidentifiable
flying object.

Excuse me?

It had nothing to do with my report.

I based my findings on the medical history

in the investigational reports

of Daniel Ruff, but I did see something!

What?

I don't know.
It hovered. It had colors.

It was no airplane. It might have been
a spaceship. I don't know.

You're cracking up.

I am not cracking up.
There was something up there!

DOUGLAS: When can we bury him, Kenny?

Well, things have become a little
more complicated.

Carter has officially declared

that exposure to spacemen as a possible
cause of death.

What?

Now the Feds are sending people.

I mean, they gotta respond.

This body could be...

This could take a long time.

WALD: How many vultures get to pick
at the carcass?

I'm sorry.

I never said anything about implants or
seminal draining.

Has the Federal Government issued
any response...

The Federal Government is sending

a team, and I welcome the opportunity...

Carter, come with me, please.

No comment from the Sheriff's Department.

Any questions you have may be
directed to me, in my... Don't push me.

Maxine.

Everybody out! Let's go!

Just one more question.
Can the body be seen?

Hi, Bill. Big day.

Sit down, Carter.

I don't need to tell you how important

the role of medical examiner is
in police work.

Aside from ascertaining cause of death,

the ME's testimony is often vital,

if not pivotal, in securing
criminal convictions.

What's the point?

The point is that your credibility

is now all but obliterated.

You're being terminated.

What?

We don't want to do this,

but there isn't a defense attorney

anywhere that couldn't impeach you now.

You're firing me?

You're going along with this?

It's my decision.

The Coroner's Office is subsumed
by the Sheriff's Department.

It was my decision.

No. No, I have a contract.

I have a contract.

Incapacity of performance.

You've breached that contract.

I'll fight you.

You take this to court, Carter, and you
end up really hurt.

Please.

Please.

You did this to yourself, Carter.

I've lost my job.

I lost

my job.

Carter.

You can come with us.

You're a medical scientist.

We can use your skills.

And, you know, you and me...

We don't even know each other.

Well, maybe not,

but how often do you meet people
where there's even any hope?

I'm always traveling around
from town to town,

and I've about given up on...

The way we sang last night,
laughed and...

Does that happen to you a lot?

Never.

Somehow, I just feel I know you.

Most of all,

I'm the Medical Examiner
of Hogan County. That...

That's who and what I am.
I can't even

conceive of an identity outside of that.

They fired me.

They fired me.

There are other towns who would
hire you.

Wendy, this is my home.

Well,

then fight, Carter. Fight.

Why should I defend you?

You're the reason Daniel Ruff
is decomposing in the next room.

I never meant to disrespect your religion,
Douglas, you know that.

I just stated my beliefs and now

I'm being persecuted for those beliefs.

I want Mr. Ruff buried.

My findings are complete.

I'm willing to release him.

But now the federal butchers
are coming to whack away.

You help me, I'll help you.

All right.

I thought this was just about a
dead body.

We're still trying to bury it, Judge.

But it now goes even deeper.

They fired Carter.

So we hereby seek to overturn
this wrongful...

Why was he fired?

He's a nut. He listed space aliens as a
probable cause of death.

This is not a criminal matter.

Why is the District Attorney involved?

I was retained by the city as city
council. I can represent...

Quiet.
Your Honor,

my client's reputation has been so
damaged that...

Your client claims to have seen
a UFO last night.

I mean, he's either suffering from delusions,

or some more latent psychological disorder.

He was fired because he believes
the dead man was killed

by radiation from a spaceship?
Am I right?

He was fired for saying that
it's possible.

Fine. Tomorrow we'll conduct
an evidentiary hearing.

I'll decide if he's nuts after I hear
the facts.

I want Sheriff Brock on the stand
at 10:00.

Me?

Aren't you the one who fired him?

Yes.

BONE: Good. Then you testify.

Carter, you can go after that if you want.

10:00 tomorrow.
We're adjourned.

Can't we do this some other way?

He's a friend, Jimmy.
Carter's one of us.

I know that, Maxine.

But he's become a cartoon.

He'll jeopardize our ability to
secure convictions.

His credibility as a witness is zero.

I'm not happy about this.

You go on that stand tomorrow and
call him crazy,

you are just going to destroy him.

Couldn't you just suspend him for a while?

That would only ruin his
reputation further

and make him less credible. God.

Mom? What planet are the Jews from?

This one.

Oh, well, don't they have a different God?

Yeah, sort of.

So this planet has two Gods?

I've only been praying to one.

Well, actually, honey, it is the same God,

it's just that different faiths

have different beliefs as to what their
God represents.

So the dead man in our garbage,
was he an alien or a Jew?

He was a man.
He was a Jewish man.

And he was snooping around our garbage
because Jews are cheap?

Where did you hear that?

Kids at school.

Zachary, Jewish people are not cheap.

They're no different from you or me,

except that they practice a
different faith.

To say that Jewish people are cheap,
that's a bigotry.

Do you understand that?

Okay, I got it.
So, he was just Jewish.

He wasn't an alien.

No.

To the people in this town,
I think he was both.

I'm late. I gotta go by the office.
Are you coming to court?

Yep, I'll be there.

Okay. Bye, kids.

I said goodbye.

They're upset with you for firing Carter.

I thought I explained all that.

Okay.

There's media all over the courthouse,

Carter.
You're going to be famous.

Did you read today's paper?

The editorial says I'm emotionally disturbed.

There's a cartoon of me with antennae
coming out of my head.

The Herald officially endorsed
the decision to fire me.

Who would've thought the town
would bury you before they bury him?

Well, you can bury him.

The Federal Pathologist found
no evidence of aliens.

He said he didn't know what could
have caused the radiation.

But he laughed at the idea of aliens.

He didn't back me.

Well, I back you.

I back you completely.

You know that, don't you?

I like Carter Pike very much,

but credibility is a function of his job.

And I felt his was irreparably undermined.

How so?

He has a reputation concerning
his zeal for the autopsy.

I never touched a body in any
way that wasn't...

Carter, shut up.
You should have objected to that.

Sit down, now.

He also has an obsession for exhuming bodies.

The result is that these people,

potential jurors, they laugh at him.

But that isn't why you fired him?

Lately, he's been more erratic.

The other day, he assaulted a rabbi,

yesterday he believed he saw a UFO,

and then he officially listed,

as the Medical Examiner, a spaceship

as being the probable source of death.

Thank you. That's all.

You fired him because he believes in UFOs?

Because he let that belief

pervade his professional judgment.

Well, if Daniel Ruff was, in fact, killed

by exposure to an alien spacecraft,

then firing Carter would be wrong,
wouldn't it?

Very wrong. But Mr. Ruff did not
die from that.

You know this?

Dr. William Pile, a pathologist
connected with the FBI,

examined Mr. Ruff this morning.

He found no evidence of aliens or
alien spaceships.

I'm sure he probably didn't.

You wouldn't consider aliens a cause,
would you, Sheriff?

No, I wouldn't.

Don't you think they exist?

No, I don't.

Do you believe in God, Sheriff?

Yes, I do.

Do you believe that he created

the Earth and that he is almighty?

Basically.
Almighty.

Do you make room for the possibility

that he created other planets?

I won't assume that ours is the only
culture that God created.

Wait a second. A second ago you said
that you didn't believe

in extraterrestrial life.

I think there is life somewhere in
the universe.

Oh, I see.
Now, these aliens, Sheriff,

who, a minute ago,
you said couldn't exist,

but now you say they could exist,

could they ever come to Earth?

Maybe. Perhaps someday.

Well, why couldn't someday
occur two nights ago?

Did you investigate Carter's sighting?

Did you investigate my client's report

that he saw an unidentified flying object?

No, I didn't.

He was your friend, and you fired him,

without even checking to see that he
could be right.

You didn't even give him that.

Even if he did see something, he was
fired for listing in a report

a cause of death that has no
scientific basis.

That federal doctor couldn't pinpoint
the scientific basis

for this kind of radiation, could he?

No.

And so Carter took a shot.

He had his patient exposed at a high
level of radiation,

and he knew of his presence
at the crash site.

Daniel Ruff

was at that crash site.

He ran from society to join a group
of UFO believers.

True, he died of inexplicable
radiation poisoning,

and it's true that the government

sealed the site of that crash.

I don't know.
I really don't know.

Something seems strange, doesn't it?

If something had happened,
somebody would have stepped forward.

Maybe somebody tried and was fired for it.

Maybe he was dismissed, so as not to

undermine the government's credibility.

Maybe his boss was somebody like you.

How the hell does he do it?

Never, never have I felt more sure
I was right. More selfless.

I love Carter.

The only reason I fired him was

because I thought it was the only way...

Oh, boy.

Three minutes with Wambaugh,
he's got me second-guessing everything.

Now you see how I felt when he
chewed me up.

Jimmy.
We did a surprise spec of the camper park.

Why?

I just didn't want to let Carter
go down like that.

What is this?

Laser contraption.

Shoots holograms into the sky.

I think this is what made the UFO that
Carter saw.

And there's something else, Jimmy.

I did a little warrantless searching.

Don't lose your temper up there,
Carter, and...

Don't do anything to reveal yourself

as the loose cannon everyone knows
you to be.

Just get me in that witness chair.

I want to make my statement.

Miss Hill.
You're under arrest.

CARTER: What?
Excuse me.

Possible criminal fraud.

She has a laser, Carter.

Her people made the UFO that you saw.

I also searched their administrative
office trailer.

Where's your warrant?
Unconstitutional!

I didn't get one. Here's what
you'll probably be moving to suppress.

What's that?

It's the feature piece on you that ran

in The Herald three months ago.

It talks about your love of UFOs and tornadoes.

It was in her desk.

You were a marked man.

You were a medical examiner
with the perfect predisposition,

and Jimmy has a reputation for
standing up to the Feds,

so they dumped the body in Rome.

He did die of radiation poisoning

from a spaceship.
We really believe that.

We were just trying to get some publicity.

We needed someone official.

Did you tattoo him?

Yes.

That's why you encouraged me
to fight in court,

to bring publicity to your cause?

Carter, when Dan died,

he just wouldn't even have gotten
an obituary.

They would never have even called
a press conference.

This way, look...

Look what a voice you have given
to the truth,

to what really happened.

Please,

tell Rabbi Wald how sorry I am

for being so incompetent.

HILL: Carter.

Take her to the station.

I didn't want to hurt you.

You have to believe me about that.

JIMMY: Take her.

Come on. Let's go.

Job's yours, Carter.

Given that you did really see something.

And that we were winning, anyway.

Hope you come back.

(PRAYING)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

They let you out of jail?

Yeah. They're letting us go.

My feelings for you...

I meant what I said.

I know I used you to promote a cause,

but I didn't target you to fall in
love with.

Carter, I care about you.

It's not just that
I don't trust you, Wendy.

I don't trust myself to trust anybody.

I don't know if I ever will.

There's no hope?

Please go.
