Original subtitles

Now just up ahead, you're going to see something.

Something I can't explain.

Here we go.

I'm on a secret DOD site.

It's not on any map.

This isn't supposed to be here.

Look at that.

See that?

Oh no.

Sweetie, I don't want you to worry, okay? And I know you think it sounds

but I swear to you, something weird is going on up here.

I finally found proof.

And that's the last you heard from your father?

Yeah.

He left me this voicemail two days ago. I didn't hear from him, so I came over

here.

I called the police, but they weren't too concerned because there were no

of foul play.

They told me he was an adult, and unless there was evidence of something wrong,

there wasn't much they could do, so...

I decided to go another route.

Did you notice anything when you entered? Anything at all?

Besides the mess?

No. Did your father ever do this before?

Disappear, go off the grid?

Nothing like that.

He usually texts me when he's going to go camping or on one of his research

trips, as he calls them.

Does your father live here alone?

Yeah. He does now.

My mom died last year.

I used to get a kick out of all that alien stuff.

Kind of a quirky hobby of theirs.

After she passed, it was really hard on my dad.

What kind of work does he do?

He's a retired electrical engineer.

But he didn't want to go back to an office, so he started hiking a lot.

He'd go up in the backcountry.

You suppose that's where he was when he left the voicemail?

He told me that he saw something out there, something being hidden from the

public. At first, I ignored it. I mean, I was just happy that he was finally

doing something and being engaged.

But then he got a little obsessed.

Any idea what that was about?

Government conspiracy stuff.

I know how that sounds. It's okay. I know a little something about that.

To be honest, it all sounded crazy.

Sometimes it is.

Sometimes it's not. Well, I drew a line when he started talking about the

government having him followed by unmarked black vans because he was on to

secret program.

If I take this job, I need all the information.

And I need to be able to trust all the information that I'm given.

What are you not telling me?

Well, a few months ago he started harassing an astrophysics professor in

Dr. Iris Blair.

Do you know what that was about?

No.

But her husband took out a restraining order against him.

Maybe he did something to my dad.

I'll look into it.

He's a good man.

My father.

Can you help me find him?

I'll do everything I can.

Hey, Velma.

Hey. I thought you'd like the sound of that $20 ,000 reward.

So, what do you think about Scott Palmer?

Daughter says there was a restraining order taken out against her father.

Feels like there's a connection.

Remember that job last year in Reno? The missing dentist?

Yeah, I remember.

He was nuts.

guy. He thought the government was after him.

Oh, boy.

Any proof?

Is there ever?

Good point.

I got Bobby looking for a location on Palmer, and I looped in Rini, see if she

can find out any more information about this restraining order.

I'm actually heading into Rini's office later today.

Well, starting to sound more and more like it's your office, too.

Yeah. You know, I really like being there.

Starting to feel youthful again.

Good. Good. I'm happy for you.

All right. I'll talk soon.

Listen, I want to help you out. That's why I came to you.

So your client pleads guilty. I agree to six months in jail and three years

probation, but only because I like you. Oh, aren't you adorable?

Does that really work on women?

Because you like me?

I mean, it's really sweet that you think I'd actually go for that.

Do you need to get that?

Look, let me do you a solid.

Time served plus six months probation.

Come on, Rainey, I got a boss to answer to.

Well, I don't.

And what I also know that you may not know I know is that your only witness

wasted after partying all night when he supposedly saw my client commit the

crime. Now, do you really want to waste taxpayers' dollars on a trial where I

eviscerate your only witness on the stand in front of a jury? I mean, what

your boss say then?

Fine.

Time served in a fixed month.

Great. I'll get it drawn up.

It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Always.

Colter, you do realize I have a real job?

Sorry about that. I'm just on a bit of a clock here. Well, you should put me on

retainer then.

Save you these golden time rates I'm charging you.

Did you find out any information about the restraining order?

I did.

spoke with the judge who granted it.

Dr. Blair's husband filed the restraining order. He presented to the

Palmer's call logs as proof of harassment.

And? And he was quite the eager beaver.

Palmer called her up to 20 times a day.

Do you have those call logs?

Did I get the call logs?

Sending them to you now.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Dr. Blair, right? That's right.

Can I help you?

I think so.

My name's Colter Shaw.

I'm looking for Scott Palmer.

Did something happen?

He's been missing for two days.

His daughter hired me to help find him. I'm not a cop. I'm not an investigator.

I'm sorry. I'd help if I could, but I don't know anything about him going

missing. I really need to get to work.

Yeah.

You have been on the phone with him quite a bit, right?

I have the call logs.

And then there was a restraining order that was filed.

Yes, the calls were getting more incessant.

I mean, he just wouldn't stop.

I understand that. It's just... One of the calls was ten minutes long, and

were a couple that were seven minutes long. I know enough to know it doesn't

take that long to get rid of someone, so just curious what you two are talking

about.

Okay.

He had some interesting ideas.

Are you familiar with UAPs?

UFOs.

Same thing.

Unidentified anomalous phenomenon.

There's still a stigma attached to the subject of UAPs and NHI, non -human

intelligence.

Especially in academia.

And that's what Scott wanted to talk to you about.

It's a subject I'm interested in, yes.

And Scott had ideas about UAPs?

Look, he can be very intense and vocal.

Well, I prefer to keep the data points discreet. He was sharing information

you.

I'm... What are you afraid of?

Sorry.

Look, I really can't discuss it. I need to get to work.

Look, I hope you do find him.

I caught you. Bobby, what do you got?

Well, Scott Palmer's phone was dead, so I couldn't ping his location.

What about previous locations?

All of his phone location records are gone. They've been wiped clean.

This is the part where you tell me how brilliant you are, right?

I found Scott Palmer's car.

No built -in GPS, but he does have an aftermarket dash cam installed, so I was

able to hack the location in that and find the car's last location.

Unmarked road, government land.

Government land.

His daughter said he'd been hiking deep back country talking about government

conspiracies. Sounds like two plus two equals four to me.

Sending you the location now.

Thank you.

What do you know about UAPs? Oh, I mean, how deep you want to go.

You want to talk about Jacques Vallée, J. Allen Hynek.

We can even get into David Grush and Lou Elizondo and the modern disclosure

movement. I mean...

Either we're living in a simulation or these things are interdimensional

entities. Some might even say religious.

So you're a believer?

Come on, Coulter. The universe is a big place. An old place. You really think

we're alone out here?

How come we haven't seen anything?

There's plenty of footage online.

Footage? You're talking about YouTube videos with fuzzy little light? That

be anything. It could be weapon stuff, right?

All right, all right.

Every Mulder needs a scully. I'm cool with that.

But if you want to check out something cool...

I highly suggest a Cumbergats video.

It's inviting to happen in Turkey.

Maybe some other time. Right now, I just want to find Scott Palmer.

This professor knows something. She's stonewalling. You think you can dig up

her, will you?

Let's see what's up.

Hey, I'm at the location. Had a look around. There's no sign of Scott

car.

Yeah, I see you.

You're in the right spot.

Nothing? No.

Anything more on Dr. Blair?

Yeah. Found a secure message board.

Looks like a group of scientists used a portal to share intel with each other on

UAPs. And Dr. Blair was part of it?

Yep. Traced the IP address from our office to the site.

Looks like invisible college kind of stuff.

Invisible college? What's that?

Yeah, it's a network of scientists who want to keep their findings on UFOs

secret. I was a betting man.

See, Dr. Blair was a part of it.

Hold on.

Found Scott's car.

He didn't want anyone to know he was here.

Hey, speaking here.

Colter.

Colter.

Bobby?

It doesn't make sense.

I can't find anything.

Coulter's been gone for 12 hours now, and there's like zero digital footprint.

Usually I can grab a signal from somewhere, but now I can't find

I had a deputy go to the coordinates you sent, Bobby. He found Coulter's truck.

No sign of Coulter. You sent him out to Palmer's last position?

Yeah, and now the signal from Palmer's dash cam is gone, too.

That's it. I'm going to go.

Go where?

Colter's in trouble. I can feel it. He would not want you rushing into God

what, Rainey. And if it were me or any one of us out there, he wouldn't

hesitate. You both know that. Colter would do the smartest thing in front of

That's what I know.

Who are you calling?

Plan B.

Colter's really not going to be happy about this. Yeah, well, too bad.

He hasn't ghosted us like this, okay? There's something wrong.

And I know who can find him.

Here we go.

You can hear me.

There you go.

You're Colter Shaw, right?

That's what it says on your license.

Where am I?

Safe place.

Safest.

I feel like we found you before you got blown to smithereens. That land you were

on? A lot of unexploded ordnance.

I seen a deer at that wrong one.

Red mist was all it was.

What is it?

That's for your own protection.

You had a really bad reaction to the track.

You mind taking these off?

I think I tweaked my knee when I went down.

Oh, yeah?

Tell you what.

I'll loosen this so you can reach, yeah?

It'll be our little secret.

But you won't get far if you do what you're thinking of doing.

That guard behind that door? That'll be your next dose. You guys sleep for three

days.

It's rank dark. That's what you're hitting with?

Well, you breached a secure DOD facility.

Now, back in the day, it was bullets.

Like it for you, new protocol is non -lethal deterrence.

Is that what happened to Scott Palmer?

Deterrence? You working with him? I hired to help find him. You probably

know that.

Tell me what you know about Scott.

You don't have them, do you?

I gotta put this back on.

Remember what I said about trying to escape?

So where am I? Some kind of a military base?

Afraid I can't tell you that. That's classified.

Scott Palmer thought there was something going on here.

What did you say your name was?

Let me go work on getting you cleared.

In the meantime...

Try to get some rest.

What's happening?

Mr. Shaw has lifted his restraint.

Did he now?

Well, it seems Mr. Shaw has got some skills.

You, uh, want me to try and come again?

Not yet.

Let him have his fun.

All right.

I have to make a call.

Yes, sir. I understand.

Note, we are on schedule.

Eight hours and counting.

I just have to do a little cleanup.

Whoa, easy, easy.

Russell.

Who else is going to get you out of this pickle?

What are you doing here?

Let's chop up the who, what, why, when, and how later, okay? Right now we've got

to move. Yeah, I thought it would be easy to get a guard.

I wouldn't worry about him or the other two.

Bunch of present.

Thank you. No problem.

Come on, man, we gotta make tracks.

We're outside the perimeter.

Yeah, of an unnamed covert DOD program operating as a black site. They don't

care about perimeters, man. Those guys can touch anybody anywhere. Trust me, I

know. I've been on their side.

Why don't you find me anyway?

Military buddies?

You work for private contractors again? A little of both. Maybe neither.

Reena called me, gave me her coordinates. Lucky for you, I was close

up a mess.

Reena just called you, huh?

Yeah. She didn't know who else to call, so I guess I'm kind of that guy.

I think the results speak for themselves.

Here we go.

Okay. So I made some phone calls, and it turns out my little brother had

wandered onto a black site.

And here I am.

Thank you, Russ.

You're welcome.

So you and Reena are phone buddies?

We keep tabs.

What's that mean?

Means I keep asking her to dinner and she keeps ducking me.

That's all right.

She's busy hanging her own shingle, and I get it. But rescuing you, that's going

to give me a date 100%. Wouldn't be so sure about that. Oh, I'll take my

especially when you tell her how brave and heroic I was.

Not doing any of those things.

When it comes to reading, you're on your own, all right? Let's just focus on the

job. Velma filled me in, so what, some guy looking for UAPs?

You're talking to Velma now.

Well, I guess they view me as a bit of an asset. But listen, you know what

happens to civilians when they see stuff they're not supposed to, like UAP. So

you're telling me you believe in UFOs now?

UAP is the proper nomenclature culture, okay? And it's not about believing, it's

about knowing.

So you've seen stuff? Oh, brother.

Stuff I've seen?

Blow your hair back.

That's all I'm going to say about that.

Let's go.

All right, so who's this guy we're looking for?

Scott Palmer.

You gonna help me find him?

I thought that's what we were doing.

Lucky for you, my schedule's clear.

Where am I headed?

Well, they don't have him on the base, so we gotta find him before they do.

Maybe the aliens took him.

I'm serious.

So am I.

You believe this stuff, huh?

Hey, you remember that time when we were kids, Dad took us up to Eagle Head

Rock? Show us the lights in the sky.

I got no idea what you're talking about. Come on, you remember.

Had your little, uh... spaceship pajamas on.

You asked Dad what the lights were and he pointed at the spaceship on your

little Jamie shirt.

Could have been a meteor shower.

You keep telling yourself that.

I'll tell you one thing.

It's between the Zeta Reticuli aliens or some off -the -books DOD spooks, I'm

picking the lizard folk every time.

Who's that?

Scott's daughter.

Patty? Colter. Did you find my dad yet?

No, not yet. We're still looking, though.

Okay. Well, there is a black SUV with a couple of strange guys parked outside of

its house now.

It's been there since yesterday.

Maybe my dad's involved in something.

Addie, you could be in danger.

I need you to get yourself out of there without anyone seeing you. Can you do

that?

I'll try.

But what did my dad get himself into?

Can't talk to you about that right now. Just, uh, you need to get out now.

Okay.

They let me go on purpose.

It's too easy.

What are you talking about? I busted you out. I mean, just because I make it

look easy doesn't mean it was.

No, no, no. They want me to find Scott for them. That's what this whole thing

all about.

Where's your phone?

Yeah, get rid of the SIM card.

What are you doing?

There you go.

It's like getting rid of a SIM card and you haven't smashed the whole phone.

Can't be too careful. And take off your jacket.

Let's see the back of your neck. Come here.

Oh, yeah.

Feel that? Yeah. That's where they got me with the dart.

No. There's something else in there.

Hang on. This is going to sting a little bit.

Oh.

What the hell?

There.

Oh, yeah.

See that?

You ever see anything like that before?

Yeah, trust me, there's a lot of worse places I could have put it.

Whoa, whoa.

Good idea.

Oh, that was a better idea.

I'll keep him busy.

Nice throw.

It's okay. It's okay. Don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just

looking for Scott. He's in serious trouble.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Russell.

Went ahead and made myself a sandwich. I hope you don't mind. This homemade

sourdough? So nice.

I'm so sorry he did that. I tried to stop him. He's an animal. I just had to

off the tank, you know? I told you I don't know anything about Scott and what

he's mixed up in. You're gathering proof of extraterrestrials. Am I right?

Let's get to keep it anonymous to protect your reputation.

Right now, Scott's being hunted by government agents. Now, you told him

something.

Something to do with this?

I tracked Scott to the last location he was at, and when I did, my phone went

crazy, popping up with all these symbols and these numbers.

What's it mean?

What's it mean?

We think it's a form of communication.

They've been coming through for the past six months.

From Exit Trish? We're not.

Sure, we've been trying to build a primer to decode the messages, but it's

complete. You told Scott about that?

Well, he wanted to help.

And even though I told him not to, he did send a screenshot

of a recent message.

What does it say?

It's hard to say.

It could be coordinates.

Maybe they're inviting us for a visit.

Like I said, it's not complete, and we're still working on what it means.

The message that I received looked just like this, except the top line ended

with 2 -9 -0 -1.

Are you sure about that?

Let's see, well, if we go with geodetic coordinates... I

could be here.

It's about 200 miles away.

If Scott figured out the location, odds are he's on his way there now.

It's very possible.

Well, check it out.

Scott's in danger because of what he knows, which means you could also be in

danger. Yeah, I've thought about that.

Seriously. Hey, this whole thing is mixed up with above -black DOD programs.

They write their own rules of engagement.

You might want to skip town for a while.

Come on. No.

We're going to go find Scott.

Watch yourself.

Honey, where are you?

Something happened.

Call me back.

You going somewhere, Dr. Blair?

Please. Please.

No.

No, please!

Please! No!

We're on the spot.

I don't see anything.

No sign of Scott.

All right, so what are we taking? Wrong place? Wild goose chase?

Oh, here we go.

I better answer this. She could be worried, you know.

You know how it goes, right?

Decline the call.

What would you do, Ben?

Hey, hey, hey.

Are you serious?

Never be too careful. Really?

Look, whoever was tracking me could be on Rini's signal by now, which means

they're tracking you.

She's now going to think. Okay.

Hope that made you feel good.

You hear that?

Yeah, what is that?

How are they doing?

Looks like a UAP lightning strike.

You believe her now?

The surge begins in

T -minus ten minutes. What's going on here?

He's gonna be hiding around here somewhere.

All right, well, isn't this what you do when you find me?

We should split up.

Okay, I'll take the north, you take the south.

And if there's something to kill, let's do that.

Let's not do that until we have to.

Just meet me back here in 20 minutes.

All right.

All personnel move into the safety perimeter.

Still got nothing off Coulter's phone.

Seriously? It popped back online for a minute, then disappeared again.

Great. Now Russell's ignoring my calls too.

He should have checked in by now.

I've got an idea. I'll call you back.

Rainey. Yeah.

A call showed up on a police scanner for Lebanon County for a car registered to

Dr. Blair.

Police scanner.

Smart. What was the call? Not good.

A 1054.

1054 possible dead body. Yeah. And then later followed up as a 1056 suicide.

Yeah, there's no way.

Someone got to her.

Drop it.

Where's your brother?

My brother?

Oh, he likes to go his own way. Always has.

Yeah. Try being his brother. I say left, he goes right. It's a mess.

Yeah, like your father, Ashton Shaw.

Got a long family history of getting in the government's way.

What,

you don't think I know who you are?

Come on.

Where's Scott Palmer?

Never heard of him.

You know, it would be a shame to wreck this whole science fair project you've

got going here.

See, I know what's going on here. See, you guys sent up a little cosmic Morse

code, and somebody answered back. Am I right?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Didn't you build that big landing pad out there for a little alien meet and

greet? No matter what you think you've seen, no one will ever believe you.

Eh.

Maybe you're right.

But I'm going to give you a little pro tip.

If you're going to shoot me, you should shoot me now.

One more step and I will kill you. T minus three minutes.

Oh?

What do we have here?

Please, don't shoot me. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to help you.

Your daughter hired me to find you. Let's go.

No, I have to see this.

There's a vessel coming. I know it. There's not a vessel coming.

It's just what they want you to think.

Look, I know too much, but they can't keep this a secret. Some secrets aren't

worth dying for. Well, this one is.

The world needs to know that this is real.

My wife would have wanted that. God, your daughter hired me to bring you

She doesn't want to live without you. You're the only family that she has

Now, come on.

Let's go.

We missed it.

That's our cue. We got to go. Take this. Come on. Follow me.

Go.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Fox, Dickon, they know we're here. We got to roll.

Oh, come on. I got to see what happened. The alien craft can still be here. It's

now or never, man. Let's move. There's no time. We got to go. Come on.

Come on.

Oh, my God, is that them?

I can take out those tires from here. No, we might need the van.

Go to shore.

You got a phone call.

Who the hell is this?

Oh, thank God. Son of a bitch, you had me so worried. Rainy. You know I don't

like to worry. Rainy?

Hey, Russell, sorry I missed your call. It's Colter's fault.

Thanks for the van. Missed my call? Russell, shut up. And Van, do you know

expensive that van was to get a guy sent out? Seriously, two dumb Shaw brothers

together in diapers. You can text one person back.

Son of a bitch.

Dad.

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

That's okay. I'm just so thankful you're safe.

Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you.

Take care of each other, okay?

We will.

So?

What do you think? Still a non -believer?

I saw something out there.

I don't think it proves anything.

You see anything out there? I heard it. I felt it. I saw the light.

Could have been testing a new weapon defense system. Or... Could have been a

transporter from another planet that landed 50 yards from us.

Huh?

Well... Oh.

I, uh... Grabbed something.

Check that out.

Did you nab?

It's a rock.

No, it's like alloy.

I mean, look at it closer. The structures, that's engineered, man. That

a piece of craft.

Now I believe less.

Well, I got a guy who's going to run some tests for me.

You got an alloy guy?

Yeah, I got an alloy guy. You don't have an alloy guy? I don't need one.

You got a guy who can drive me to my truck?

Come on.

Sweet ride.

Wouldn't mind getting behind the wheel of this thing. That's never going to

happen.

A text from Velma.

Oh, yeah?

I'm sure they're happy to have you back safe and sound. Yeah.

They found Dr. Blair's body in her car.

Ruled a suicide.

Damn.

Well, they got to her.

Velma's worried they might still be on our tracks.

No. No, they were just worried about somebody getting in the way of whatever

happened out there, you know?

That's why they went after Scott.

That's why they killed the doc.

Now that the circus has left town, they don't care. It's all over. That's what I

told her.

And Scott doesn't have any proof, right? So he's just gonna sound like any other

nutjob with a conspiracy theory.

Wish I knew that government guy's name.

Bigger question is, how does he know about our family?

What do you mean?

Had a little chat with him before I knocked his ass out.

He knew about that.

Really? Yeah.

I mean, textbook spook move, right? Drop a little crumb.

See where it goes.

Maybe it was more than just a crumb. You know what I mean?

Dory's got this box full of dad's stuff.

You know anything about that?

What's in it? I don't know.

Probably a bunch of junk.

Who cares?

Well, I think it's weird that she's got this box and she didn't mention it to

either one of us.

Well, you know what I think? I think she didn't want you going down some rabbit

hole like you surely would.

This baby doesn't drive on gravel.

You picked me up from that black site. Well, that was an emergency. This was

an emergency. So, uh, get to walking.

You serious?

All right, yeah, I know.

I see how it is.

No problem.

Where are you off to now?

Colorado. What's in Colorado?

Rainy.

I'm going to collect on that date you promised me. Said she'd go to dinner

me since I saved your ass.

Huh.

You did not save my ass. A little bit.

And you know what to do if she calls?

Smoke your brother up.

I'll see what I can do.

Appreciate it.

I'll see you when I see you.

Oh, Brock.

Thank you for saving my ass.

A little bit.
