All language subtitles for 03. High Hopes

My grandfather
used to tell my mum

that kids should never
have to worry

about anything
more serious than baseball.

Everything you need
to know is there.

It has success and failure.

moments where
you come together

and moments
where you stand alone.

And it has an ending.

Not a clock.
like in other sports.

but an ending.

And that. my grandfather used
to say to my mum.

is as close as a kid
should have to come

to that sort of thing.

Can you even lift that bat?

: Hey, batter, batter.

Strike.

Two more like that,
and we can go home.

Hey, batter, batter.

You all right, kid?

Two down, one more.
Come on.

Hey!

- What happened?
- Is he okay?

Stand back.

One ball and no strike.

Boyer's in close at third.

Rest of the infield back.

Going for the double play
on Keen.

Marshall getting ready.

The pitch to Keen.

Hello, Jacob.

Boyer at third base
is calling for it.

You know my name?

Of course.

Everyone here calls me Jack.

You know who I am?

You have certain capabilities.

We both know
what I'm talking about.

You mustn't use them again.

They're what's making you sick.

What happens if I do use them?

At best, you'll burn them out,

lose them for good.

At worst, they'll take your mind
with them when they go,

and the strain of it could kill you.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.
We'll find another way.

Who's going
to take the Series?

The Yankees in seven.

Is that a guess
or something else?

One ball. one strike.

- A guess.
- I think you're right.

There's two outs...

Marshall Bridges
trying to get them out.

Checks his sign
with Elston Howard.

Here's the one-two pitch.

He swings and a long belt to right field!
It's well-hit!

- Maris back at the fence. It's gone!

Jack?

Jack? I'm Dr Benson.

I'm sorry I wasn't here
to see you earlier, son,

but when you're the only doctor
for 500 square miles,

everybody expects you
to be in three places at once.

Now, let's, uh,
take a look at you

and see what's keeping you
off the diamond.

People like to examine
the things that frighten them.

to look at them
and give them names.

so saints look for God.
and scientists look for evidence.

They're both just trying
to take away the mystery.

to take away the fear.

Let me ask you this--

there were,
if I remember from the report,

four bodies on the craft?

The craft held five, Mr President.
We brought back four.

This one was still alive
when we brought him in.

I don't know if you've seen
the reports on that.

Yes, I have.

Quite a time he gave you there.

And the fifth?

Uh, we never recovered
that body, sir.

I see.

Well, it certainly doesn't look
as if they mean to attack us.

What makes you
say that, sir?

Well, from what you told me,
if that was their intention,

we'd all be dead by now.

We have one month to prove to him
that our visitors are a threat.

After that, he's shutting us down and
redirecting funds to the space program.

The arrogant son of a bitch!

I need proof that there's
a clear and present danger.

I need a smoking gun,
gentlemen, and I need it now.

My best subject
in school was algebra.

People always say
algebra's hard,

but that is because
they don't get how easy it is.

I just loved all those "Xs."

Anything you don't know,
you just put down an "X."

Or you can go with "Ys,"
or "As" and "Bs."

In real life,
you have one plus one,

and if it doesn't equal two,
you're up a creek.

But in algebra, it always works,
no matter what the answer is.

You just have to
figure out what "X" is.

It's a very beautiful thing.

Oh, hey, honey,
let me show you.

Just let me do one.
Let me show you.

Mum...

It's fine, honey.
Mummy is gonna fix that.

Why don't you go and lie down?

- "X" marks the spot.
- How many drinks have you had?

- Several.
- How many pills?

Several.

Those pills are for your nerves,
not to be taken willy-nilly.

Willy-nilly, eh?

Lie down before
you fall down!

Finish your schoolwork, boys.

You're disgusting!

You sober up,
or I'll have you put someplace, and--

Get in bed.

And don't come out
of your room until morning.

Esther, no, no. I got it.

I got it. Thanks.

Sorry to bother you, sir.

You said you wanted
to see these as soon as possible.

Yes, of course.
Come on in.

Two possibilities, sir.
Both very credible.

Gail Arlen...

has reported repeated
encounters since 1 960.

Divorced, no children,
lives alone.

My doctor told me
it would reduce my tension.

Betty and Barney Hill.

Encounters in 1 961 on
their way back from Niagara Falls.

He's a postal clerk,
and she's a child welfare worker.

They're both active
in their community.

They've begun some sort
of therapy using hypnosis.

- They're very solid.
- Very solid, sir.

In both these cases,
the people claim

that they were taken
aboard a craft.

- Taken?
- Yes, sir.

It could be just what we need.

Lonely divorcee...

Makes up stories
to get attention.

Hypnosis, you say?

Medical hypnosis,
like they use on amnesia victims.

No. No Negroes.
It clouds the issue.

- Sir--
- Just keep trying!

There must be
somebody out there.

Yes, sir.

What the Russians want is
nothing less than world domination.

Communism is a religion,
a faith like any other,

with a holy text
and saints and martyrs.

The Russians see themselves
as crusaders in a holy war.

Drop!

Is there any reason you're not
under your desk, Jack?

- I don't see the point.
- The point is to be ready.

In the event of a nuclear attack
on the Great Falls Air Force Base,

which is the only
military target within 500 miles,

the initial blast
would be jarring,

but it wouldn't
even break our windows.

You don't take the threat
of nuclear attack seriously then?

On the contrary, sir.

I believe that within three days
of an initial attack,

3/4 of the world
would've been destroyed.

I don't see the point of hiding from
that kind of destruction under a desk.

Everybody back in your seats.

The Yankees lead one to nothing.

the bottom of the ninth.

Russell?

Yeah, I'm heading to lunch.

You want to keep
an ear open for the phone?

Yeah, I'm on it.

Willie's had one hit.
That was a long triple.

Here's the pitch.
He swings and hits a long drive...

It's clearly a foul.

It's going in the seats.

Willie McCovey. making a bid.
slams one deep into right.

The ball did not have...

Uhh.

Maris going over near the line.

but it curves
back into the crowd.

So it's one strike to Willie.

Boy. everything is riding on every
pitch here in the bottom of the ninth.

Hey, Jess.

Who's winning?

One-nothing, Yankees.

Bottom of the ninth, two outs,
and Mays just doubled.

You like baseball.

Ralph Terry gets set.
Here's the pitch to Willie.

Here's a liner
straight to Richardson!

The ball game is over.
and the World Series is over!

Willie McCovey hit it like a bullet!

A line-drive right straight
to Bobbie Richardson at second base.

Had that ball got out of his reach.
the Giants would've been the winners.

Force of nature, those Yanks.

How'd you know I was here?

I heard Mum talking to Dad...to Bill.

She said you got a job as close
as you were legally allowed.

She wanted him to come over
and tell you to go someplace else.

Well, he did.

You grew up.

I've been reading these books

about how the government
knows about flying saucers.

They're afraid if they tell us,
there'll be panic.

They started taking you again.

It says in there where it's mostly
the Air Force that knows about them.

So what I was thinking...
I mean, you were a pilot and all.

Why don't we go tell them?

Yeah.

Why don't we?

I'm sorry.

We got some kind
of exercise just started.

It's got the whole base
turned upside down.

Captain.
Real pleasure to meet you.

My mum said my dad always
spoke very highly of you.

He was the best bombardier
I ever saw.

I don't think he ever missed.

He was a good friend of mine.
How's your mother doing?

- She's doing fine.
- Good.

You speak to her,
let her know I sent my best.

Sure will.

You going to join the service
like your dad?

I might, sir.

It's a good life.

Well, you said on the phone

there was something
I could help you with.

Flying saucers.

I'm sorry?

My father and l
have both seen them.

We've both been
inside them.

You've both seen them?

Uh...okay.

Uh, well...

let me just...

get this all
on record for you, then.

# Take good care of my baby #

# Please don't ever make her blue #

How long after we left his office

do you think he threw
that report in the trash?

- We weren't even out of the building.
- He didn't believe us at all.

- No.
- There's got to be another way.

The people who aren't involved are
all going to be like Lieutenant Wylie.

They'll smile politely
and think we're crazy.

So how do we get
to the people who are involved?

I just don't know if they
can do anything for us, Jesse.

# Just let your love surround her #

Hey...

I will do whatever it takes
to help you.

# Once upon a time
that little girl was mine #

# If I'd been true #

# I know she'd never
be with you. so #

# Take good care of my baby #

# Be just as kind as you can be #

Hey, Gus!
You might want to open a window.

# And if you should discover #

# That you don't really love her #

# Just send my baby
back home to me #

Smell of it. Can't eat.

# Well. take good care
of my baby #

# Be just as kind
as you can be #

What do you want?

Uh...two bacon, lettuce,
and tomato sandwiches

and a cup of coffee.

Okay. I'll give you
a cup of coffee.

# Take good care of my baby #

There you go.

# Dum-dum-dum-dum
dee-doo-wa #

# Oh. yeah. yeah.
yeah. yeah #

# Oh. oh. oh. oh. ah #

# Only the lonely #

See you in hell, niggers!

- Thanks.
- Sure.

Something's wrong
with your old man.

Get a napkin for his mouth! Something
so he won't bite his tongue off.

Help me roll him on his side
so he doesn't choke if he vomits.

Call an ambulance.

Tell them this man is having
a grand mal seizure.

I'm a med student at U of U.
I know what I'm talking about.

Do it now!

It's all right, sir.
You're gonna be all right.

An ambulance is on the way.

Dad? You're in the infirmary
at the Air Force base.

You had a seizure at the diner,
and they brought you here.

Guess there are
some benefits to being a vet.

I had this headache...

and there were gunshots.

Yeah.

Are you all right?

Yeah, they weren't
shooting at me.

Those...those two coloured guys
that came in, did they get hurt?

Nobody got hurt.

You think the seizures had
anything to do with our friends?

Could be.

It could also be the end result
of all those fifths of vodka

I hit myself in the head with
every night for eight years.

Captain Keys,
how are you feeling?

Why don't you tell me, doc?

This kind of thing
ever happen to you before?

Yeah, once.

I was home, and next thing I knew,
it was two hours later,

and I'd sort of
rearranged the furniture.

Headaches are
pretty constant, though.

I'd like to take you down to x-ray,
see if we can find anything.

You need to lie very still.

Try not to move.

We all like to think
that we have some control

over the events in our lives.

and a lot of the time.

we can fool ourselves into
thinking that we really are in charge.

But then something
happens to remind us

that the world runs
by its own rules and not ours

and that we're just
along for the ride.

May I speak frankly
in front of your son?

You have a tumour.

It's in the frontal lobe
of your brain.

It's very, very small,

but it appears to be putting
pressure on your brain in unusual ways.

Can you take it out?

So what happens?

I've never seen anything
quite like this on an x-ray before.

You might live
a long and happy life,

marred only by
occasional headaches,

perhaps more seizures like the one
that brought you in here.

Or it might kill you tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

Doctor?

Can you give me the same test
you just gave my dad?

See if I have a tumour
in my head, too?

Exactly the same size
in exactly the same place.

What are the odds?

The nature of the encounter
seems to have changed.

We have stories
of missing time.

People are losing
several hours of their lives.

In a few cases, hypnotherapy
has filled in those missing hours,

giving us a story
of a meeting with little men

that is reminiscent of some of
my country's experiments during the war.

But these are more
than mere meetings.

These are,
for lack of a better word...abductions.

That's new.

In the past, exposure for more
than ten minutes was fatal.

So we know they've learned
from their mistakes.

Their technology evolves.

Something has changed
in their agenda.

Or if not their overall view,
certainly in their, uh, methodology.

They are "upping the ante,"
I believe you say.

- Why now?
- Why not?

- Can we prove this?
- Well, we are working--

I need the most credible
of these people.

I need evidence that
I can drop in Kennedy's lap

before he pulls our plug.

What do you have for me?

Well, I went in
to get some ice cream,

and I saw the light
out the kitchen window...

Bam!

Refrigerator falls over,
plates start flying off the shelves.

It was like sitting on the back
of a wet dog shaking himself dry.

It was the same
in the living room.

Everything's falling.
The house is shaking.

I managed to crawl back in
through the kitchen, and...

that's pretty much it.

Next thing Susan and I know,

we're back on the couch
and it's 2.00 in the morning.

That's 3 1 /2 hours we lost.

I'd like to try to get
those 3 1 /2 hours back for you.

- This is wonderful coffee.
- SUSAN: Oh, thank you.

They're not coming back
for these people.

Call it a gut instinct,
whatever you like.

They're one-timers,

like when a fisherman
throws back the little ones.

What you have to find me
are the keepers,

and you have to
find them yesterday.

I know I've threatened
you both in the past

with reassignment
and with worse,

and I'm sure I don't need
to tell you how hard it'll be

for all of us to go back to
a conventional military life

if the president chooses
to shut us down.

But at least for me, there's
the comfort that I will have a rank,

a position,
and a place to go.

When I took over this operation
from my wife's father,

I made certain provisions for
all the men who were assigned to me.

Your names, ranks,
and serial numbers no longer exist

in any personnel file
or other military record.

You are, in effect, non-people.

Without this organization,

I'm afraid you'll find yourself
hard-pressed to have a life.

I've said this before, Marty,
but that is one nasty bastard.

What are we going to do?

You remember Jacob Clarke?

The only person I've ever heard of
that scared the colonel.

Too bad he's dead.

What if he isn't?

His brother left for Montana

the day after the fire
in his mother's shed.

He had no business dealings there,
no known friends, nothing.

Maybe he likes to ski.

Maybe.

But let's just say
Jacob Clarke is still alive.

Wouldn't you like to know
what it is about him

that scares the colonel
so badly?

Well, Becky, he turns out
to be a colonel in intelligence.

Owen Crawford.

He's the head of
a classified operation

that has something to do with
unidentified flying objects.

- Flying saucers?
- Uh-huh.

Remember those guys?

This is what
you've been doing?

All those weekend trips, you've
been spying on these guys?

The last 3 1/2 years.

You could get
locked up for this, Tom.

- They do that.
- Only if they can catch me.

Listen, Becky...

Whatever else
may have happened to Mum,

this guy broke her heart.

My life is not gonna be complete
until I ruin his.

It's as simple as that for me.

In this year alone,
we have put two men,

John Glenn
and Scott Carpenter, into orbit,

and the Telstar Satellite has
successfully telecast from outer space.

Your world is different than
the world of your parents and teachers

in ways that none of us
can yet fully imagine.

Dr Greenspan.

Sorry to bother you.
Please go on with your class.

Thank you.

- Jacob?
- Yes?

Do you mind staying
under there a while longer?

I'm not sure I convinced our friends
that you were already gone.

Dr Greenspan?

Yes, dear?

Those men are following us.

What do you want me to do?

Go a little bit farther.

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

U.S. 12 West.

If she hits 87 and goes north,
she'll be heading for Canada.

I hate driving in the dark.
It makes me nervous.

If she goes south...
she could be heading for Billings.

What if we hit a deer
or go off the road?

It's really dark. I--I have
an astigmatism, you know.

My night vision
is not to be trusted.

Do you want me
to drive, Marty?

How's your night vision?

Pull up alongside the car...
so I can shoot her.

The kid won't get hurt.

Here they come.

Okay, on three, stop the car
and lay down flat on your seat.

It'll be all right.

One...

Two...

Three.

Good evening. my fellow citizens.

This government. as promised.
has maintained the closest surveillance

of the Soviet military build-up
on the island of Cuba.

Within the past week.

unmistakable evidence
has established the fact

that a series of
offensive missile sites

is now in preparation
on that imprisoned island.

The purpose of these bases
can be none other

than to provide
a nuclear-strike capability

against the Western Hemisphere.

Come in.

Upon receiving the first
preliminary hard information...

I want you to put me in touch with
whoever runs the UFO program.

We're in the middle of a crisis here,
in case you hadn't heard.

... has now confirmed and completed
our evaluation of the evidence...

There is no UFO program that's run
by the United States Air Force

or any other branch
of the government.

- I don't believe that.
- You're gonna have to go now.

I'll call someone to
have you escorted off the base.

...several of them include
medium-range ballistic missiles

capable of carrying
a nuclear warhead...

My father's in your hospital.

He has something in his brain.

The doctors say it's a tumour
they can't operate on.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I have an identical tumour
in my own head.

I believe these tumours
were put there...

put there by whoever comes
in those unidentified flying objects

the United States Air Force
knows nothing about.

Our fathers fought together.

That has to count for something.

I don't expect you to believe me,
but I expect you to help me.

... self-discipline lie ahead.

months in which both our patience
and our will will be tested.

months in which many threats
and denunciations

will keep us aware of our dangers.

But the greatest danger of all
would be to do nothing.

The path we have chosen
for the present

is full of hazards.
as all paths are.

but it is the one
most consistent

with our character
and courage as a nation

and our commitments
around the world.

The cost of freedom is always high.
but Americans have always paid it.

And one path
we shall never choose.

That is the path
of surrender or submission.

You tell anybody
I gave you this name, I'll deny it.

... but the vindication of right.
not peace at the expense of freedom...

This guy's a colonel
at Groom Lake near Las Vegas.

Thanks.

... and. we hope.
around the world.

God willing.
that goal will be achieved.

Thank you and good night.

Help me get
all these things inside.

What's all this?

The market was almost
out of supplies.

I've never seen
the shelves so cleared out.

It was so crowded.
I got everything I could.

You're expecting
a world war?

You heard
the president's speech.

Don't give me
that smirk, Colonel.

Just because you're in charge
of the little green men project

doesn't mean
you know all the secrets.

Did you know that boys?

You're daddy's big,
important, secret job

is to figure out if we're
being attacked by Martians.

You're drunk, Anne. You shouldn't
take the car out when you're drunk.

He stole that job
from my father.

I don't know
how you did that.

Took my daddy's job.

Get these groceries
in the house. Now.

You should really be
more careful

about what you say in front
of the children, Anne.

# I am a man
of constant sorrow #

- The guy ought to get a haircut.
- I think he looks serious.

Seriously stupid.
And this song has no beat.

I don't think it's
supposed to have a beat.

Boys, you must be done
with all your homework.

We just wanted to listen
to some music first.

You always could do your work
at the last minute,

but you're setting a bad example
for your big brother.

Don't look
so bent out of shape.

You're not
the straight-A student

who can afford to spend
an evening by the record player.

I finished my homework
at the library, sir.

I guess that's easier than having
your mother spill her drink all over it.

You guys worried
about this missile crisis?

I figure if there was
going to be a war, you'd know about it.

You guys worried
about your mother?

People dig
their own graves, boys.

That's something
you'd do well to remember.

These are her problems
she's dealing with, not yours.

You're my sons.
I'm gonna take care of you both.

- You don't need to worry about that.
- Is it true?

Are you really in charge
of some UFO project?

No.

Absolutely not.

# Ooh. in this old world
I'm a-bound to ramble #

You guys have the number
of my private phone at the office?

I need to go in
for a while this afternoon,

see what I can find out
about this crisis.

If anything around here
gets out of hand,

I want one of you
to call me, all right?

It's kind of catchy.

Colonel Crawford?

My name is Jesse Keys.

My father's name
is Russell Keys.

He was a pilot over in Germany
in the Second World War.

He and I have both had encounters
with unidentified flying objects.

We've both been inside them.

They've come for us,
they've taken us,

and they're going
to come for us again.

Get in the car.

Yes, sir.

You know in cartoons.

the way someone can run off
a cliff and they're fine.

they don't fall
until they look down?

My mum always said
that was the secret of life.

Never look down.

But it's more than that.
It's not just about not looking.

It's about not ever realizing
that you're in the middle of the air

and you don't know how to fly.

Whatever they did to me...

Killed all the members of my crew.

I don't know why it didn't kill me.

I tried to run from it, but...

Then they started taking Jesse.

They seem more interested...

In him now than in me.

You're talking
about the tumours?

They are not tumours.

They are something that
they put in our heads.

Possibly.

It's a shame we can't take
a closer look.

The doctors tell me they're
lodged in an inoperable spot.

If someone put them in,

then someone ought to
be able to take them out.

We could take them out, son,
but it would kill you.

You have a very brave son...

to be willing to go head-on
at danger, to fly blind.

You should be proud of him.

It's not like they left us
much of a choice.

Still, you're
a very brave young man.

A little foolish, but very brave.

You go right at a thing.

The initiative, for example,
with which you found me.

We are, for reasons I'm sure
you both can imagine,

a highly sensitive
and secret group.

People are as worked up
as they are right now

over a couple
of Russian missiles in Cuba,

imagine how they'd react
to a sky full of flying saucers.

And so we have officers
out in the field.

Their cover is as
regular military officers,

but their real job is to screen
the stories that come to us,

separate the wheat
from the chaff.

You mean Lieutenant Wylie
works for you?

Wylie.
Yes, he's one of ours.

Your son did the right thing
by coming to us.

We can help you.

What do you make of this?

You are familiar with the work
Dr Watson and Crick are doing now,

for which they won
the Nobel Prize?

- Yeah. Genetics, yeah.
- That's what this is about.

Traits that run in families.

Our friends are
looking for something.

In the Keys family,
they have found

at least some part of whatever
it is they're looking for.

And the tumours?

Perhaps it is some
unfortunate by-product

of being taken
into an alien environment,

or perhaps it is something
that's put there for a purpose.

It could be, for example, something
as simple as a tracking device

that allows them to know
where the test subjects

that are most
important to them are.

- We should find out more.
- Definitely.

Where are Erickson and Bowen?
Any word?

I haven't been able
to ascertain that, sir.

You don't have much of a future.
Anyone ever tell you that?

What's happening here?

We've just been put on Defcon 2, sir.
We're preparing for attack.

I knew that Ivy League idiot
Kennedy was gonna cause trouble.

I would have bet you
dollars to donuts.

You feel good now?

Are you rested? Well-fed?

Never better.

You want to tell me
why you were

sitting in the middle
of nowhere, staring into space?

We were looking
for the northern lights.

You can't see
the northern lights this time of year.

We were misinformed.

What the hell's going on here?

You know about Cuba?

Is that why you guys are up here?

I didn't say that.

- You ever play football?
- Sure.

You send your man deep,
defence moves to cover him,

a hole opens up,
you just walk right on through.

You think the Russians are
coming through the back door here?

Is that what you're saying?

I'm not saying a thing.

Just asking if you
ever played football.

None of this explains
what the two of you were doing

staring out your windshield
at nothing.

Nope. It doesn't, does it?

You all right?

What did that kid do to us?

I think we got a little taste

of why Colonel Crawford
was so afraid of him.

Jacob's in the backseat.

We were followed.
Jacob stopped them.

Jacob did? Is he all right?

He's in a lot better shape
than they are.

Jake?

Hi.

He's a very special boy.

Take care of him.

Hey, Jake.

You've seen them,
haven't you?

Mr Keys,
should you be up and around?

I saw it in your eyes.
You've seen them.

Can I fix you a drink?

I'm here to make sure
you don't hurt my son.

Hurt your son?

You want the things
they put in our heads.

You can have mine.

Take it out.
Do whatever you have to do.

But it ends there,
and I want your word...

You'll never do anything to my son.

Yes.

I've seen them.

I would think you'd be more concerned
with what they might do to Jesse

than with anything that
could happen because of us.

I don't know how to stop them.

But you think I need stopping,

and you think
you can do that, Mr Keys.

We would never do anything
to harm a private citizen.

We would never do anything
to a citizen against his will.

I personally would never
do anything to harm a child!

- How old is Jesse?
- 1 6.

- Okay, a young man, then.
- Do we have a deal?

In the war, you enlisted
in the Air Corps, am I right?

Thank you for volunteering
to help your country again.

Mum? Yeah, I'm all right.

Mum, I'm with Dad.
He didn't take me, Mum.

I went to see him.
It was my idea.

I don't know
when I'll be back.

Mum, I love you.

I'll be all right. I gotta go.

You got too much
trust for people, kid.

That's your problem.

That's the boy.

I saw the lieutenant here
give him specific figures--

numbers, types of planes,
payloads.

At the time, I didn't realize
what they were doing,

but when the Defcon order
came through...

You tricked me.

You were supposed to help us.
You tricked me.

- Kind of young to be a spy.
- Spy?

What the hell
are you talking about?

You were supposed
to help me and my father!

What about the flying saucers?
What about the UFOs?

Must be hopped up
on something

to give him the nerve to do
what he tried to do.

I just pray he didn't manage
to deliver his information.

I'll notify the Pentagon,
let them know we may have a breach.

Where's my father?
I want to see my father!

You look at three things
on the commodities page,

like the price of poultry,
cottonseed oil, and tin.

This is what I did,
and all three of them are stable.

And this is how you tell
there isn't gonna be a war?

What do they
serve you in the army?

Chicken. What does
that chicken come out of?

A tin can.

- What is that chicken sitting in?
- Cottonseed oil.

Yeah, all right, so in a war situation,
you have more soldiers--

Eating
more canned chicken. My point exactly.

- That doesn't wash.
- Of course it washes.

What the hell,
it doesn't wash?

This is the nuclear age.

They drop a bomb,
nobody's eating anything. End of story.

What do you think?

Is this the nuclear age,
or what?

Where's Colonel Crawford?

Why--why isn't he here?

I don't know
a Colonel Crawford.

Think this thing
will go all night?

'Cause if we're
still here in daylight,

there's a sweet little Studebaker over
there I wouldn't mind taking a look at.

Good evening, Mr Keys.

Thank you for letting us take
a closer look at that tumour of yours.

Where's Crawford?

Colonel Crawford has
an entire operation to oversee.

He's left this particular phase of it
in my capable hands.

Well, I don't do anything
until I talk to Crawford.

I need to know
that my son is safe.

I might be mistaken,
but it does not appear to me

that you are in a position here
to make demands.

Prep him.

Aah!

You stay away from my boy!

Scalpel.

What is it?

Doctor, he's seizing!

What's going on
with the anaesthesia?

Tin and cottonseed oil.

- Tin and cottonseed oil!
- A retractor now!

Tin and cottonseed oil!

What the hell's going on here?

Tin and cottonseed oil.

I want a puppy for Christmas!

Tin and cottonseed oil!

Tin and cottonseed oil.

Alle ihre erinnerungen
kommen auf einmal.

Alle ihre erinnerungen
und alle ihre aengste.

Tom? Becky?

And you must be Jacob.

Jake's a little tired.

Come in. Come in.

We've been waiting for you

ever since Dr Greenspan
got in touch with us.

They seem like
really nice people.

We wish you could
come home with us, Jake.

Do you still do card tricks?

No.

Kinda gave that up
after we made you disappear.

You gonna be all right?

I just need some rest. I'll be fine.

Well, listen...

try not to...do anything.

We don't want any stories
getting out about you.

You don't have
to worry about that.

I can't do that stuff anymore.

What do you mean?

Well, I guess it's kinda like
a battery that runs out of charge.

I know I didn't
have much left, but...

those men were going
to hurt Dr Greenspan.

I couldn't let that happen.

You take care, Jake.

You, too.

We can start
with, "Where the hell were you,"

and work our way up
from there.

You told us
to bring you a smoking gun.

We were following a lead.

A schoolteacher in Montana
claimed she'd been taken.

And?

Dead end.

Just another lonely lady
looking for a little attention.

I hope you were
able to give her some.

Well, there were
a few stories up there.

I wouldn't mind getting back up there
to take another look around.

I'm sure you wouldn't.

We had an interesting time
of it while you were gone.

There's a classified report
you both should take a look at.

Alle ihre erinnerungen
kommen auf einmal.

Alle ihre erinnerungen
und alle ihre aengste.

"All your memories
play at once."

"All your memories
and all your fears."

Howard, you stay a moment?

I need your help
with something at home.

It's a personal thing.

Something going on with Marty?

How do you mean?

He feels to me like someone
about to try an end run.

Keep an eye on him.
I rely on you completely.

You're my eyes and ears
out there, Howard.

Yes, sir.

What happened?

Russians shot down
one of our U-2s.

Bad time to be a spy, kid.

Time of war, they shoot you.

- What's this?
- Bomb shelter.

- Why?
- Like they're going to tell me.

Hey, did you hear about
Henderson and Slide?

They're escorting a patient
from the hospital,

some sort of secret surgery.

Something went wrong.

Big explosion. Everyone's dead.

The patient from the hospital,
do you know his name?

Was I talking to you?

Do you know the name
of the man they were transporting?

Who was he?

I don't know his name.
Whoever he was, he's dead.

The world is made up
of the big things that happen

and the small ones.

And the part that's so unfair is that
we call them "big" and "small. "

because when
something happens to you.

when you lose something
or someone that you really care about.

that's all there is.

The world may be
blowing up around you.

but you don't care about that.

You don't care about that at all.

- What are you looking for?
- Evidence.

What do you mean?

Sam, you're your father's favourite.
You know that? You always were.

I hope it doesn't ruin your life.

That's it. His favourite. Your birthday.

7-28-51.

What is it?

Part of your inheritance.

Your mother and I need to talk.

Come on. Out.

Out. Come on.

My father told me about this.

It's from that spaceship.

What do you mean?
What spaceship?

The one that you and daddy
found up at Pine Lodge.

He said you used this to take
the project away from him.

You know, it broke his heart
when he lost the program.

I think that's what killed him.

Your father had
a drinking problem, Anne.

He imagined things.

What killed him was cirrhosis
of the liver. You know that.

I'm an intelligence officer, Anne.

I've never had anything to do
with any kind of spaceship.

You're lying. You're a liar!

What you're holding is a piece
of an experimental plane

the Air Force is working on.

I thought I'd get it
mounted it for Sam.

He seems to like
that sort of thing.

Oh, God.

Anne, I'm so sorry.

I'm so single-minded
in my work. I don't...

I don't give you enough.

You or the boys.

Remember the first time
I took you riding?

You almost fell off.

I want it to be
like that again for us.

It's the most important thing
in the world to me, Anne.

Please forgive me.

Please say you'll give me
one more chance, okay?

Anne...

Anne, we need to do something
about the pills and the liquor.

It's...

You know that.

We can't go on like this.

There's a place in Oregon.

It's very comfortable
and very discreet.

It's a six-week program,
and I've made some calls.

You can leave tonight. Okay?

It's best for the boys.

And we'll all be here waiting
for you when you get back.

Okay?

I'm sorry. Come here.

Howard. Thanks for coming.

You can understand I wanted
to keep this, you know...close?

I truly appreciate you doing this
for me and for my family.

Well, I'm happy
to help out, Colonel.

And, uh, slow and easy
on the curves.

My wife's in
a delicate state, okay?

Anne, Howard's here.

Ma'am.

I'll take that, sir.

You'll tell the boys I love them?

Yes, I'll tell them, and I'll tell them
you're going to be just fine.

And when you come home,
we'll go riding again, okay?

Okay.

See you soon, okay?

- Bye.
- Bye.

In a climax to what many see

as the biggest threat since
the bombing of Pearl Harbour.

the Soviets have agreed
to remove their missiles in Cuba

if the United States promises
not to invade the island.

This brings to an end...

I guess we came pretty close
to glowing in the dark.

I guess we did.

You won't live long
if you're in that kind of hurry.

I know.

I wonder where he's going so fast.

Would you rather hear some music?

- Yeah, I think so. Do you mind?
- No, not at all.

Let's see what we've got.

- Yeah, leave it there.
- That's not too bad.

# My lonely heart
knows how #

# I want to be wanted #

What the hell is that?

# Right now #

# Not tomorrow #

# But right now #

# I want to be wanted #

Colonel.

# I want someone
to share my love with #

# And my dreams with #

# Someone I know
I'd love to spend #

# A million years with #

Aah!

# Where is this someone #

# Somewhere #

# Meant for me? #

# Alone #

# Just my lonely heart #

# Knows how #

# I want to be wanted #

# Right now #

# Not tomorrow.
but right now #

You probably
won't believe me, sweetheart,

but I'm...

# I want to be wanted #

I'm really sorry about this.

# I want someone... #

# Someone I know
I'd love to spend #

# A million years with #

# Where is this someone #

# Somewhere #

# Meant for me? #

# Meant for me? #

# And there's two
white horses following me #

# I got two white horses
following me #

# Waiting on
my burying ground #

# Did you ever hear
that coffin sound? #

# Did you-- #

I have some terrible news.

Sometimes grownups,
married grownups, get the idea

that they don't want
to be married anymore.

And they start
to see other people.

Something like that
has happened with your mother.

Do you remember Captain Bowen
who worked for me?

Howard, sure.

He and your mother
have been seeing each other.

Apparently, last night,
they decided to go away together.

They were in Howard's car,
going up over the Sierras.

The police don't know
exactly how it happened.

It looks as if your mother
changed her mind about leaving us.

And Howard tried to stop her, and...

Look, sometimes when grownups
care about something...

Things can get a little confused.

She's gone, boys.

I'm so sorry. She's gone.

She's go--

She was the sun
and the moon to me.

I'm so sorry.

I have this idea about why
people do the terrible things they do.

Same reason little kids
push each other on the schoolyard.

If you're the one
doing the pushing.

then you're not going
to be the one who gets pushed.

If you're the monster.

then nothing will be waiting
in the shadows to jump out at you.

It's pretty simple. really.

People do the terrible things
they do because they're scared.

That's all we found
in the wreckage.

Bodies and this film.

Russell Keys' body?

Missing the piece of skull
the surgeon cut out, yes.

Any sign of the thing
they put in his head?

Forensics people tell me there was
a tiny hole in Russell Keys' frontal lobe

where this thing could've
been lodged, but, no...

It must've been
destroyed in the fire.

After first doing this
to a room full of people. Huh.

You're probably wondering
why I wasn't in that room.

Over the years, Marty,
I've found that I have good gut,

a little twinge that tells me
when I might do better to be cautious.

One of the luxuries of being in charge,
you get a twinge like that,

you can have other people
take your risks.

Marty, I appreciate
your loyalty in all this.

I'm not gonna forget you.

Now that Howard's gone,
you're gonna be in a position

of much greater responsibility.

I hope you're up to the challenge.

Yes, sir.

What was he
looking for in Montana?

What did he think he could find there
that he could use against me?

He thought that
Jacob Clarke was still alive.

Was he?

No.

Are you going to show
this film to the president?

No.

No. No, I don't think so.

Now that he's saved the world,

the son of a bitch is gonna be
even more insufferable.

You really think
he'll shut us down?

Or make us pencil pushers.

- So what do we do?
- We just bide our time.

Keep the other one on ice.

Jesse Keys?

Yeah. The doctors tell me
the thing in his head

is identical to
the one in his father's.

We just bide our time
and keep him on ice.

That pretty boy won't
be president forever.

These, uh--I was told
these were your old man's.

We're all standing
on the edge of a cliff.

all the time. every day.

a cliff we're all going over.

Our choice isn't about that.

Our choice is about whether
we want to go kicking and screaming

or whether we might want
to open our eyes and our hearts

to what happens
once we start to fall.

Dad!

Dad!
