Majestic, this is Talon. I've got a tally -ho on the bogey, 11 o 'clock

maneuvering. I'm on a heading of 030 at Mach 2.

Roger, Talon. I've never seen a Russian aircraft quite like this one before.

Majestic, if I maintain this heading, I'm going to compromise Soviet airspace.

Advise, please.

Talon, this is MJ Command. How long before you're compromised?

Let's say about 90 seconds, but that's if I can't keep up with the Majestic.

You can't go any further.

I cast the summer conference for the cruise ship in two days.

I have larger concerns.

Talon, you are go for pursuit.

God, that's majestic.

This is what we're here for, gentlemen.

We're tracking into Washington. We need high band telemetry in section alpha

vector seven.

Mace, I know I got one of the best planes we've built, but whatever this

got, I want one.

Majestic, I just witnessed an impossible vertical ascent. Lost the visual

contact and my radar screen is clear.

Advise.

Stand by, Talon.

My people say the Soviets have no idea we're even up there.

Get NATO on the horn. See if Turkey will clear powers for landing.

We got a big problem up here, Majestic.

Oh, my God.

I don't know what I'm looking at, but besides the three cruise ships...

Everything's

going crazy. The instruments, everything.

Talon, man down.

I can't help it, Majestic.

Better recovery team, out of Wii spot. In the air, now.

Repeat,

security code 2 -alpha, do you read?

Mayday, mayday, mayday. She's in a flat spin, I must have checked.

My name is John Lowengard.

This program is being presented as fiction to protect those people fighting

the resistance.

But I will tell you the truth now, if you will listen.

When Kimberly and I left California during the first summer of Kennedy's New

Frontier, I landed my first real job as an assistant on Capitol Hill.

I was 24 years old. I thought I knew everything.

I found out I knew nothing.

it all yesterday. Said if anything was missing, you should make a list.

Mrs. Lowengard, you need anything, just ask.

Well, compared to my dorm room, this place is a palace.

Well, nothing's too good for mythical Lowengard.

We pay our rent on time. Johnny won't ask any questions.

I should have made you wallpaper part of the deal.

I'm decorating and you're already right at home.

We could just get married, you know.

You really don't want to lose the apartment, do you?

What I really don't want to lose is you.

That'll never happen, John.

Yeah, you know, most women wouldn't want to pass up an opportunity like this.

Okay, yeah.

The chance to smash upon wedding cake in your face is tempting.

So, what do you say?

John, we get married now, and I really am Mrs.

Loewenkamp.

First, I have to be Kim serious, and I haven't even figured out who she is yet.

I really want to marry you.

We have all the time in the world.

You know what I love best about you?

Everything.

You know I love nothing but you.

Wow,

what's all this?

I'm practicing.

Morning.

Hey.

Hello, Renee.

One coffee, cream, no sugar.

This is the amendment to the housing bill. We

are against the amendment and for the bill.

Supposed to be delivered an hour ago. What the hell is going on around here?

Congressman, I have to think that getting this amendment defeated is more

important than constituent tickets to the U .S. Mint Tour.

Son, think about this.

Those people gave me a lot of money for my last campaign.

A whole lot of money.

Sir, I can take that now.

Sorry, Mark, I should have delivered this yesterday like you asked.

Longguard, you make sure those people know that I personally called in that

favor? Yes, sir.

Thanks, Longguard. I owe you one.

I'm just trying to help out.

Not that I don't enjoy catering to Fresno's favorite son.

Look, I know you're being wasted. Welcome to Washington, Lone God.

You know I can make things easier for you.

I'm not sure I'm ready to have Pratt killed just yet.

Look, you're overworked and I'm bored.

Come on, just give me a shot.

Follow me.

Now, the congressman has a budget subcommittee hearing at the end of the

He wants to nominate one of these programs for the hit list.

I want to find out what they're doing and what they're spending.

Make them three pages typed and don't use any big words. He's a farmer.

Mark, you won't regret this. Thank you.

Just don't forget that packet.

Got it.

Sir.

We're getting younger and younger.

You must be Lone Guard. Sir, Major Robert Friend. Been running Blue Book

1958.

So why has Pratt sent one of his eager beavers out to dig around all our files?

Well, I think he's just interested in seeing the taxpayers get their money's

worth. Really?

Do you know how many cases we had last year?

557.

Divided between exactly three field investigators, son, we are the biggest

bargain in town.

I think he's more concerned with whether we should be spending anything to

investigate, you know, flying saucers.

You're not a believer, I gather.

If I could, I'd like to look through the most recent files we got in the D .C.

vicinity. You see, my boss wants me to check out some of these people myself.

Who knows? Maybe after I see what kind of a bang -up job you're doing, I can

convince the congressman to get you more funding.

I won't hold my breath.

Give him what he needs. We got nothing to hide.

John Lowengard, congressional investigator.

My new title was a great Christmas present.

Unfortunately, the reality was something else.

Flying saucer evidence could largely be explained away as either low -flying

planes or faked photos.

Most of the witnesses I interviewed were simply crazy people craving attention.

Then I met Betty and Barney Hill.

Mrs. Hill? Yes.

Hi, I'm John Lowengard. I just came from Peace Air Force Base.

No, please, I really wish the people would leave us alone. No, Mrs. Hill, I

don't work with the Air Force. Remember, we talked over the phone. I'm with

Congressman Charles Pratt's office.

Oh, oh, yes.

Look, if you feel like talking, my girlfriend baked this fruitcake for us.

Is there a problem here?

Oh, no, sir.

I was just telling your wife here that there's some new information about the

sighting you reported.

If all of this is true, then why do you need a cake to talk your way in here?

Well, sir, that's a good point.

Probably was a pretty dumb idea.

Look, I'll be honest with you.

I was sent out to prove that the Air Force investigation is a waste of money.

But right now, let's just say I've got an open mind.

And the truth is, this is a damn good cake.

We were returning from a vacation in Canada, down US -3 through the White

Mountains to Portsmouth.

It was after midnight, pretty close to a full moon.

There weren't many cars, and any place to stay was already closed.

I thought at first it looked like a big light that was following us. And then

when I looked through the binoculars, I saw a double row of windows.

Real windows.

I thought she was crazy, but she made me stop the car anyway.

I went out into a field with the binoculars.

When I looked through those windows, I saw... I

saw about a half dozen living...

Beings looking back at me.

You mean people?

I mean living beings.

Well, what did you do then?

I panicked.

I thought I was going to be captured, so I ran as fast as I could back to the

car. Were you actually captured?

We don't know what happened.

The next thing we know, we're back in our car, but it's two hours later.

Let's go to the car. I don't see how he can ignore this. Well, I think he should

do one of those congressional investigations.

That's what I think he should do. I don't know about that.

You see, you'd probably have to testify, and people might say things.

I'm a black man married to a white woman. People already say things.

If I can find out what the hell it is I saw and where I was, I would tell my

story to the whole damn world.

Very impressive, Mr. Lone Guard.

You've got a real talent.

How do you know who I am? Get his tape.

Let me set the record straight for you, John.

Betty and Barney Hill saw an airplane go off course. They're not going to

testify before Congress for Pratt or anybody else. Is that clear?

Why not?

Who are you?

I am nothing but a figment of your imagination because this incident never

happened. You drove home uneventfully.

Tomorrow, you will file a report with Pratt telling him Blue Book doesn't cost

enough to merit his attention.

You got it, Captain.

You want me to put him to bed?

What?

What? What are you doing?

I haven't done anything!

Mr.

Lone Guard?

Mr.

Lone Guard!

What?

Keep your nose out of our business, or next time we'll make a house call.

You're lucky, college boy.

The man says you get to stay up late.

Over a single night, everything had changed.

Washington, D .C., the capital of the free world, felt dangerous and

Hey, Lone Guard.

Project Blue Book?

Hey, Mark, don't you sleep? I was going to give you till the end of the week to

finish this. Mark, can I get that back, please?

In summary, Project Blue Book is not only a viable organization, but a

cost analysis shows this program to be an insubstantial line item cut.

That's pretty bold for your first memo.

You don't understand.

I didn't write this.

Helicopters? Wiretaps? Do you have any idea what you've stumbled onto,

Lohengarten? The Hills definitely saw something. What it was, I don't know.

Probably some secret weapon we're going to surprise the Russians with. In New

Hampshire? Test flight. Look, I don't know.

But this explains all the stories I've heard about the Black Ops budget.

What is that? I've never heard of it.

Operations that don't show up on the budget.

Somebody's diverting funds, Lohengarten. You caught him red -handed. I didn't

catch anybody, Mark. They caught me.

And I think these guys are dangerous.

Oh, they just wanted to scare you. Well, they did.

So consider this your chance to get even.

Simonson, what the hell's going on?

Where's my 10 o 'clock briefing at 10 .30 these days?

I was just going over Lone Guard's trip, Congressman.

Right in.

So is this blue book worth its salt?

I'm working on the report now, sir.

What are we going to do about this?

We do nothing. Nothing? You heard him. He wants it now.

This is our chance, Slowengard, to score points for us, not him.

I'll stall the farmer.

Whatever you do, keep your head down.

You know

what a burrower is?

It's someone who digs and digs until he's found the one piece of information

that's been buried.

Well, that was me.

The man who attacked me had been called captain by his men. That's all I had to

go on.

I did what I had to.

If it meant lying to a widow to get me into a dead man's belongings, I wasn't

above it.

Sometimes I wish I had just given up.

But I had to know why a Navy captain would be so interested in flying

And so interested in me.

Eventually, I dug up who I was looking for. A man whose career had obviously

taken a strange turn in the years after World War II.

Captain Frank Bach, U .S. Navy.

I'm a drug gold.

Here's our man.

Yes.

How do I look?

You look great.

Where are you going?

I don't know what you care about.

Just the White House.

Remember that line from Lisa Bentley? You said it was going to be such a

Well, she referred me to Barbara Collins, who I called, who referred me

Jennifer Rubin, who knows Alicia Burnside.

She's the assistant to the First Lady.

Another ruthless power grab.

Wish I called Lisa Bentley.

Well, we can see you tonight. We're making lasagna.

If you're good, you can have some.

Oh, and you can give us a place to eat by taking some of the stuff back to the

office. Yeah, yeah, I'll clean that up.

It's really just extra credit.

I got a new angle on something that I haven't told anybody at work about yet.

Just don't go overboard, John. I know how you can be.

You never know when to quit.

That's what they told Kennedy when he was investigating labor racketeering. It

didn't hurt his career.

I gotta go. Wish me luck. Bye.

Bye.

Hello? Turn on your TV, Channel 6.

It's for me. Good luck.

Hold on.

American -Soviet spy exchange.

The pictures that you're seeing from earlier this week are of Lieutenant

Gary Powers.

That's your Captain Bach, isn't it?

Yeah, that's him.

Mark, we gotta get to Powers.

He had to be involved in this, too. Stop right there. If Powers is involved, so

is the President. Who do you think made the deal with Khrushchev?

This isn't just some military budget scandal anymore.

That is the understatement of the year.

This is quicksand low on guard, pure and simple. You can count me out.

But Mark, this is the break we've been waiting for.

Hear me it's over

If she had a poison needle, why didn't she use it?

During everything I said and did in the last two years, I kept the best

interests of the United States government in mind.

Now, I'm looking forward to telling my side of this story to the U .S. Senate.

Thank you.

A new report from the Surgeon General says those things can kill you.

All our days are numbered.

Some more than others.

I'm a member of the Congressional staff.

You can't rough me up here.

How's your extra credit coming, John?

Not bad.

Captain Bach.

I don't exactly know who you work for now, but I'm pretty close to the truth.

The truth is overrated, John.

Yeah, maybe.

But what you're doing can't stay hidden forever.

I've got a subpoena here from the U .S. Congress.

If you agree to cooperate with me now, I will protect our conversation, and you

will not be named as a source in any hearing or investigation.

Your faith in the power of Congress is charming.

I've already read about Roswell. I know about Project Sign and Project Grudge.

I already know a lot more than you think I do.

What else do you think you know?

Flying saucers don't come from outer space.

You're building them, aren't you?

for a Chinese laundry.

You really got an iron set of them, don't you, son?

When I have to.

You just have to understand, Mr. Lone Guard, that truth has a price.

You just have to decide if you're willing to pay it.

I had no idea where fate was taking me.

After months of pushing, I found myself scared to go the last mile.

Common sense urged caution, but the temptation was too great.

I had a chance to look behind the veil of secrecy.

I had to take it.

You already decided to go through this door. Don't act like you have to think

about it now.

Take your coat off.

Search and log him in.

This is Majestic, the most secret organization you've never heard of.

Get in.

Where are you taking me?

You said you wanted the truth, and the truth is

down here, third door on the right.

When I was your age, John, I had my sights set on Admiral.

But a covert Navy incident unexpectedly landed me at our nuclear bomber base.

Roswell.

So those stories, they're all true.

Well, nothing is all true.

Depends on who you talk to.

If you'd asked Mac Russell what crash landed on his farm July 3rd, 1947, at

point he probably would have told you it was one of these ships.

The news said that he changed his mind, that it was really a weather balloon.

The news is irrelevant.

Blue Book doesn't have anything like this.

We confiscate all physical evidence before they get to it.

So Blue Book is only what, a cover for Majestic?

Go on, take it.

Take a look.

Open it up.

Take it out

It's

from the Roswell crash

Wear this to remind me that whoever did build these ships, their knowledge is

formidable. Think it's the Russians?

Tell me, Mr. Longguard.

Does this look Russian to you?

Don't be embarrassed, John.

A lot of people have trouble digesting the truth.

This is the way it works.

No one who joins Majestic can talk about this to anyone outside.

It's a very exclusive club.

What are you talking about? I haven't joined anything.

Every day you pursued us was another knock on the door.

You recruited yourself.

I'm giving you the opportunity to serve your country in a way few people ever

have.

What if I say no?

You can't.

I met her today. I met Jackie.

I'm working on this TV special and it's just temporary, but isn't that the

biggest news you've ever heard anyway?

Congratulations. You deserve it. I hope you're ready to celebrate.

Lisa should be here any minute.

Now hurry up and tell me how your day went.

Uh, you know.

Nothing special.

You can't trust Casey. I mean, you know he wants that other Dr.

Maggie, but he won't make a move on her. Why is that?

I don't know. He's probably got a lot on his mind. I'm going back to Kildare.

I'm going to head over to the Library of Congress to take care of that research.

I'll meet you back at the office.

From a distance, it must have appeared as though nothing had

changed.

Bach insisted I keep my day job.

But he made it clear I was on call to adjust it.

Well, well, it's the college boy.

What do you want?

I got your diploma right here.

There's only one way. When am I coming back?

What am I doing? What's the job?

Outside, 9 o 'clock.

Why would anybody smart enough to make one of those be so dumb as to put it out

here for the whole world to see?

They didn't. We're 30 miles from nowhere.

Last week, private pilot got lost reporting to the local sheriff's

Why didn't the farmer who owns the field report it?

Good question.

All we got is a name.

Grantham. Elliot P.

Grantham. We're going to roll him in his house and take him on a field trip.

Hi there.

John here.

Got to pay him a visit.

We've got some answers on him.

Want to say something for him?

Testing.

Testing. This is John Lowengard.

Testing.

How's that grab you? Tell Romeo not to broadcast his name even on a mic check.

Lowegard.

Fred Graber.

That's you.

Don't sweat it.

Boss wouldn't have picked you unless he thought you could do it.

Procedure, you're here to ask questions.

Whoever put those markings in that field is probably long gone by now.

We need a solid witness.

We'll be nearby in case anything gets hairy.

Something else?

Yeah.

My girlfriend, she thinks I'm out of town in government business.

Yeah? But I told my office that my uncle died.

No.

No, no, no.

You tell everybody the same story. You keep it simple and you stick to it.

Okay?

Don't worry about Kimberly. She'll be all right.

And we'll take care of Pratt for you this time.

Actually, the network owns the show, but I could give you a referral number if

you want.

Oh, excuse me, could you hold, please?

First Lady's office, Kimberly Sayre speaking.

Kim? John?

This is a horrible connection. Where are you?

I'm sorry I didn't call you sooner.

Now it's a real mess.

Are you in trouble?

Pratt. Turns out that he's got some mistress back in Fresno, so the papers

onto it, and he's got me out here trying to kill it first.

You don't have to do that sort of thing for him, John.

Look, Kim, main reason I called is we just can't call the office.

Most of them don't know what I'm doing here.

Well, thanks for the update, John. I've got to go.

Mr. Grantham?

Who wants to know?

My name's Fred Graber. I'm from the county extension's office.

I didn't call you.

My office got a call saying there's some kind of strange formation in your

field, and they sent me out here to investigate.

I ain't talking about it.

Well, sir, you might want to change your mind about that.

You see, the law says that if you've incurred any kind of crop loss as a

of vandalism, and I have to assume that this is vandalism, then my office is

obligated to inform me that you qualify for government subsidies.

You mean you'd pay me money?

That's right.

Well, we'll take my truck.

It feels too far for walking.

Get in.

It's huge.

Mr. Grantham, do you remember the first time you saw this?

Last week, maybe.

I don't come down here much this time of year.

Why didn't you report it?

Ain't no law that says I gotta do that.

You see any strange lights in the sky over the last month or two?

What, you seen some?

My God, this is amazing.

The stocks are laid down perfectly and it looks like they're woven together.

I found something.

Whatever it is, it looks like it's made of gold.

It's that design again.

Go go go

According to the family physician, your man smoked and drank, but only in

moderation. Otherwise, no cancers, no surgeries, no major hospitalizations.

an ordinary man.

Ordinary men don't try to run down total strangers.

Now pick up trucks.

the cranial cap.

See if he has a tumor.

God! He moved!

Is that because of some type of involuntary autonomic response?

It's possible, but not very likely. Doctor, is this man dead or not?

No heartbeat?

Pope Joy, we are now officially at Red Ultra. I want you to secure this entire

area. Then I want you to go to cold storage, bring back specimen A3. You got

that? Captain, there's something inside this. I know, and I want you to extract

it now.

No damage.

To whom?

Stand back. Get away from the bottle.

Keep it on.

Get that jar, take the lid off, and bring it back.

telling me how that creature got inside him?

I don't know.

Whatever that is, it's a dead ringer for this one right here.

Only we found this one 15 years ago inside one of the grays at Roswell. Why

wasn't the medical team informed of this?

Because you didn't need to know.

You mean to tell me that you found one of these in an alien and now in a human

being?

The only question is...

How many more people like Grantham are out there?

When I returned from Boise, my reward, surprisingly, was a new window office.

Bach had kept his promise, all right.

But it only proved one thing.

Majestic feared no one.

Certainly not a congressman from Fresno.

We operated by our own code.

The rules didn't apply to us.

Hope it meets your requirements, John.

I'd offer my condolences, but we both know nobody died. At least not your

Sir? Sir.

Your slick line of crap disgusts me.

I was all set to fire you, and then I find out that...

John Lowengard's untouchable.

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about? It's a blackmail, that call.

So what if I had a nervous breakdown?

I'm fine now.

Your friends released that. Old Charles Pratt will never win another election.

Lowengard's untouchable.

Who's behind all this, John?

All I can tell you is that I'm serving my country.

By serving me up on a platter like a damn pig?

I don't know who your friends are, but there are forces out there far more

powerful.

They think by putting one of them ganglions inside that monkey, they're

figure out how it works?

Well, it didn't come with a manual.

They want to know how it works on a human being. Why inject a monkey?

You volunteering, Pope Charlie?

Not in your life.

I'm taking these samples down to the lab. It's probably too early to notice

behavioral changes, but keep an eye out.

You got it, Dr. Herzog.

What is it that they got you working on anyway, little guy?

It's a profile on patient zero.

Grantham, the farmer.

Turns out that he had a missing time gap just like Betty and Barney Hill.

His friend said he started acting crazy right after it happened.

How many of them things you think are out there?

One less than they used to be.

You two guys have been at this longer than me.

What do you think they want?

How would I know?

I'm gonna get some...

You

know, I don't think they care about us any more than all Dr. Herzog cares about

those animals in there.

Yeah.

John?

Excuse me, I'm looking for John Lowengard. He said he had a new office.

Oh, no, you're in the right place.

Charles Pratt. Now, I'm going to take a wild guess here, but I bet you're

Kimberly, right?

John's told me a lot about you, Congressman.

I take it now all of it's been good.

I'll just be leaving.

No.

Fire away.

I insist.

Well?

Your personal life is none of my concern.

Except for how you're using John.

How I'm using him.

Pope Joy.

Hey, Pope Joy.

Damn monkey's gone.

Yeah, but you're sitting here right and I didn't hear anything.

I'm going to get that damn thing back in the cage.

Look, it was my fault. I'll do it. Go get her, Todd.

Right.

Stay with me, Pope Joy.

Pope Joy?

I'll get the containment set. I want this monster's body isolated.

Don't touch it with your hand.

Oh, the shark, baby, has such teeth, dear.

And his shoulders are curly white.

Just a jackknife has old Maggie Heath.

And it keeps it out of sight.

You know when that shark bites.

With its teeth baked.

Where you been, Kimmy?

A question.

No, a good question.

The color piece is first.

You try and get all the straight edges.

The thing I love most about you is how we could always talk.

About anything.

I thought you were my best friend.

Why have you been lying to me?

What are you talking about?

I went to your office.

And I talked to your weirdo boss.

You weren't working late.

Bratt says that you told him that your uncle died.

What uncle?

Were you punishing me?

Because I wouldn't marry you?

I want to tell you everything.

But it's just so damn complicated.

Then uncomplicate things right now, John, or come tomorrow.

I'm moving out.

I can't tell you.

I loved you, John.

Really good.

John?

John?

Em. Honey, you're gonna be late for work.

What?

What time is it?

7 .30.

I want Chinese for dinner.

No, 7 .30 a .m.

Look, I'm sorry about last night.

I just want you to know that...

I'm into something that I'm going to try and get out of.

All right.

I'm so tired.

Feel better?

I'll call your office and let them know you'll be late.

I came to Washington to stand in the light, fighting for things I believed

Instead, I found myself completely alone, leading a double life, standing

shadows of a terrible secret which I could not even share with the woman I

loved.

Bach said there was a price for the truth.

He was right.

What surprised me most was how very good I was at living the lie.

After repeated viewing of the monkey film, we now believe that the so -called

greys may be nothing more than a host organism for a higher intelligence.

What we are now calling the ganglion.

Somehow the alien parasite has become introduced to the amygdala portion of

human brain stem.

The amygdala is our emotional control center.

One of our latest theories, which we've been testing, is that there may be a

pattern to the emotional and intellectual scrambling which seems to

in recently implanted humans, like this woman here.

So you guys picked me up like secret agents to find out what movies I go to?

No, actually, the government is very interested in two calls you made to a

farmer in Boise, Idaho, named Elliot Grantham. I told you, he was just a

of my family.

Besides the phone calls to Grantham, we know this woman visited her sister in

Midland, Virginia when there was an Air Force documented sighting.

So, Hillary, do you and your husband go dancing very often?

We do not twist a night away on the American bandstand, if that's what you

He likes sports.

So when would you guess was the last time that you had a spider might burrow

into during a round of golf?

He plays golf.

I don't.

Okay, at home then.

You know, from time to time.

We almost done?

What we still don't know is how they get in there.

How long the takeover phase lasts.

Who are their targets and why?

What is their plan?

All we have is questions and no answers.

Do we still have that woman in custody?

Yes, she's under observation.

We attempted a cerebral eviction on her last night. A what?

Why wasn't I informed of this?

We tried to extract the ganglion surgically.

The patient did not survive.

Experimenting on housewives, on farmers?

I don't agree with this. If you paid more attention to the gravity of the

problem, Governor, you'd still be leading these meetings instead of me.

should be.

I have to ask Agent Lone Guard and Dr. Herzog to leave the meeting right now.

Doctor, I don't understand.

You said that you're working on another way. Something about injecting the

ganglion with a substance that would kill it and save the person. Listen to

The alien rejection technique is nowhere near perfected.

In theory, yes, it should work in the larger cranium of the human being, but

far... All I've got to show for it is several dozen dead men. It just seems so

wrong what we're doing. Some advice, John.

Put your emotions aside.

We must stay focused on the task at hand.

And I quote him.

Training by Soviet specialists of Cuban nationals in handling defensive

armaments was by no means offensive.

And that if it were otherwise, Mr. D 'Amico went on, the Soviet government

never become involved in rendering such assistance.

And therefore, in the defense of our own security... What's going on?

I don't know. It doesn't make any sense.

Except we're going to war.

The Soviets got missiles in Cuba.

...to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in

Western Hemisphere as an attack.

by the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory

from the Soviet Union.

My God. As a necessary military precaution... What's happening, John?

I have reinforced our base at Guantanamo...

There's not a reason good enough to explain why you're here.

Well, since the world seems to be going up in smoke, I thought we could bend the

rules a little. What do you want, John?

I know it's always changing with you, but what I want is the truth about this

Cuba thing.

I am under no obligation to discuss this with you. See, that's what I'm talking

about. Who exactly are you obligated to discuss this with?

Because while I'm watching the TV, and maybe I'm naive, but I keep asking

whether Kennedy has told Khrushchev about patient zero.

Because if he did, I don't see how they could be threatening each other like

this. You're scared, John. Why don't you go home, be with Kimberly? She's

probably pretty scared, too. We're all scared.

You're the only one who's not.

Well, they're gonna work it out.

They have to.

President Kennedy doesn't know about Majestic, does he?

I took a big chance taking you on board, John, you know? Oh, so I should be

eternally grateful? Forget it.

Not if I'm being lied to.

Now, it's a simple question, Frank. Does he know? Yes or no?

President Kennedy knows what he needs to know.

I knew it.

Just tell me this.

Who appointed you God?

Ike. Ike?

Ike never trusted Kennedy. When Nixon lost the election, he gave us the

authority to decide which future president should be told. It's all

legal. You don't keep the president of the United States in the dark about

It's wrong.

John, look at the panic this little Cuba thing has caused. You take God and

government out of the equation, you're left with chaos.

You know, Frank, if you're going to fight for humanity, at least

have a little faith in us.

Locally You've been expecting a visit It's understandable

to experience some confusion

No, I don't want your help. I must say something to you now, Kimberly. Are you

ready to hear it?

Lloyd, make it go away.

Since John Lowengard was not here on the night of our visit, you must watch him

until we return.

He can no longer be trusted.

Someday you'll experience the joy of Singularity.

Just touch it and it'll answer all your questions.

Just reach out and touch the light.

I won't.

I won't.

It's natural to fight it.

But by now you know where this must end.

Hello,

John.

Him?

What are you doing here?

I came by to check on you. What with this Cuban business?

It's in my head, John.

Something... What?

It's too late, John.

We have her.

Bitch.

No! No!

Why her? Why not me?

Be patient, John.

Time will come.

God damn you!

She's in the car.

We've got to take her to the chest and you have to do your ART on her. That's

impossible. Let's go, doctor, now. No!

Have you seen the protocol?

The directive prioritized the collection of live specimens.

If we have to take her in, I'll be forced to do a cerebral eviction.

You mean cut it out? That'll kill her. I have no choice.

Can we do it here?

No, John, don't put me in this position.

I'll do it myself.

You just tell me what I need to know and you make it quick.

Okay. It's going to work.

What is that?

Hertzard says it will raise the pH level in your body, which will help get this

thing out. I thought we were going to that place you work. No, we can't, Kim.

We've got to go find someplace else and do it on our own.

Okay.

All right, drink this.

Come on, take it.

My hand.

It won't move.

You have to fight this while you're still in control.

Okay.

Drink it.

It's too hard, John. Drink it. You have to.

It'll help, I swear to you.

That's right.

What?

It's moving in my head.

It's moving and my head does.

This will work.

Nobody will find us here.

It's nail polish remover.

The main ingredient is aspartame.

I have to inject the organism with something that'll attack it.

Then when your pH is off balance, it'll want to leave your body.

What happened to the other people he did this to?

And no more lies.

It's never been tried on a person.

So, unless I want to live with it... You can't live with it, Kim.

Kim? Kim?

Honey? Honey?

It's me, John.

Everything's going to be okay.

You have to let me go, John.

Not yet.

I'm okay.

Really, it works. Not yet, Kim.

I'm sorry, I just can't.

I hate you!

Let me go!

I'm not you talking.

You have to keep fighting it.

Please. I just want to go home.

I just want to go home.

So you couldn't help me, but you go run into them?

Hey, Sean, I know how you feel, but it's my job.

Frank, if you're gonna follow me, why don't you at least help?

We just got here, John. We had to clean up the mess you left at your apartment.

Yeah, right.

I bet you knew about Pratt all along.

We need the girl's body.

Don't let her death be in vain.

You guys are like vultures.

Only problem is she's not dead.

I think we're safe with her.

You can take her home tomorrow.

But if she starts remembering any details, you have to bring her back here

immediately.

I want out.

You know, I can't agree to that.

What am I supposed to tell Kim?

That's your business. My business is to keep you part of the team. Frank, I'm 25

years old. I'm nobody. You don't need me.

John, look, why don't you take some time off, get your life in order?

Just remember, you work for us, always.

That part never changes.

Within a week, Kim recovered her health.

But our lives never returned to normal.

Bach had made it clear he would keep the secret at all costs.

Yet Kim and I now believed that people had a right to know what was happening.

We knew the proof we needed could never be smuggled past Majestic's tight

security.

So we studied Bach's routine and made our move.

Kim.

Kim.

Honey, there they are.

I can't believe that man has children.

All right.

When I wave at you, you go.

I'm sorry to disturb you this early in the morning. My name is Cherise Rich,

I'm a substitute teacher at Willow Elementary.

Yes? I've got the directions, but I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

All your neighbors as nice as you.

Oh, you're sweet.

We get along.

All except for Mrs. Crutchfield across the street.

Oh, goodness. Look at the time.

If I don't get a move on, they're going to need a substitute for me.

It was really nice meeting you.

Bye.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Okay.

It's got the signed affidavit and materials in the specimen bag.

Everything's here.

So I guess it's up to me now.

You know you don't have to do this.

Of course I do.

We both know that.

Wish me luck.

Hey.

Mrs. Lincoln?

Hi. Good morning.

I'm Kimberly Sayers. I work for Alicia Burnside.

Yes, I remember seeing your name on the staff list.

Now, how can I help you?

The First Lady would like the President to review the Hyannis Port redecoration

plan. Here, I can attach that to his daily briefing.

Well, she told me to make sure only the President saw it.

Well, if I have learned one thing in all these years, it's to let the wives call

their own shot.

I'll see to it that he gets it alone.

Thank you. I'm sure that'll be really appreciated.

Mr. President?

Three days later, he found a note inside the morning newspaper saying that the

president's brother... Attorney General Robert Kennedy wanted a meeting.

I had the uneasy feeling I'd either solved all our problems or created new

I could scarcely imagine.

Mr. Longard.

Sir, it's an honor.

The honor is mine.

What I'm beginning to believe is true. You put a lot on the line to get here.

Well, sir, there's a lot at stake.

Let's take a walk.

We've had the sample analyzed, and it has advertised.

We also checked out certain elements of your story. Very discreetly, of course.

And it seems to hold together. I have to tell you, it's made it very hard to

concentrate on such mundane matters as trade enforcement budgets.

So what's the president going to do?

John, the president has less than a year left on his term.

He's got to get re -elected if he's going to do anything.

Second term, that's when we can get this out.

I can't stay majestic, right?

You have to.

The president needs someone like you on the inside.

You'd be contacted from time to time.

Will you do this for us?

You don't get to the Attorney General unless he wants you to.

Unless he's already seen something incriminating.

So you're going to let me cook tonight?

What, you don't like my burnt lasagna?

Why not? I haven't felt this optimistic since we moved in. Remember that? I

think from long ago.

I remember you asking Mary.

What does this mean?

Kim they're coming up here

John

You won't get to talk, Frank. I'll take care of it personally.

That's why I came down here.

I've got other plans for him.

They know we did it.

They know.

There's no doubt about that.

Yeah, what are we going to do?

Well, we can't call anybody because Bach could be listening.

Then he's got a road map straight to us.

I just came by in case anybody hadn't heard.

Heard about what?

Just turn on the TV.

At that exact instant, Kim and I realized we were completely on our own.

Bach told me we were in a war, that people died

in wars.

Well, the first real shots had just been fired.

Killed the president, John?

No.

I told him, and now he's dead.

You can't know what we know and do nothing.

Can't win. We can't let them.

We have the thing that they fear most.

Truth.

Are you cold?

There's something happening here.

What's your arm around me? What it is ain't exactly clear.

There's a man with a gun over there telling me I've

got to beware.

I think it's time we stop. Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's

going down.
