The point train's going 20 miles an hour, and the other's going 30, and the

stations are 80 miles apart.

Where will they meet?

Can you take a look at this?

How should I know? I haven't been on a train in years.

That's not the point, Jamie. The point is that Mrs. Grady's teaching us sixth

grade stuff.

Well, you're in the sixth grade, aren't you?

You don't even know what grade I'm in?

Look, kid, I'm trying to watch the TV.

Like always.

Cassie, get away from the door. Get away from it.

Cassie.

You name it.

And I got a citizen in Del Rio who will swear he saw it. All these sightings in

the immediate vicinity of this base?

Well, people have been seeing them for years all over the county. Lately, it's

the base.

Haven't you heard? The Navy never really did shut this place down.

And that they're conducting secret experiments on aliens.

Here, look at this.

I had a sketch artist come down from San Antonio a month ago.

He drew what Mrs. DeWald said she had seen.

Little green men, Lieutenant.

That's what you come all this way down here for? Little green men?

We're here because the Navy was contacted by Senator Dick.

Who is riled because Kathy Gold's going missing has hit the news. I know, I

know. You don't sound particularly concerned.

Lieutenant, I have been doing nothing but looking for that little girl.

I'm working on three hours sleep in as many days, and I've got her uncle J .D.

on me like a hound on a ham bone.

And when you meet him, you'll realize that UFOs have nothing to do with this.

You think she ran away?

She's done it before.

I wouldn't blame her. Living out here in the desert with that old hermit?

Can't have done much of a life.

So a supernatural phenomenon had nothing to do with their disappearance.

There ain't no supernatural phenomenon, Lieutenant.

Closing this base killed the town.

We got no jobs, no tax base, no mayor even.

You know times are tough when the politicians pack it in.

Now, the only thing that's going on around here is desperation working on

people's imagination.

So that's just all mass hysteria. Isn't that more likely than aliens and flying

saucers and such? We shouldn't dismiss something just because we don't

understand it.

Meaning what? You believe in the little green men?

What I believe isn't the issue, Sheriff.

How many of those reports have you actually investigated?

Enough.

The county pays me to patrol this place. If there was something going on around

here, I'd know it.

When the Navy closed this base, they said they might reactivate it. They left

lot of systems behind.

They even maintained them for a while.

So what if the Navy did open this base back up and they just didn't tell no

one? The Navy has no secret operations here, Sheriff.

It's a big place. You want to take a little time to look it over?

Thank you, Sheriff, but the Navy's taking care of that.

Jag Niner, this is Bloodhound. Making my run.

Full spectrum scan complete. Over. Bloodhound, Jag Niner. ATARs received.

Infrared didn't pick up any working machinery or people on the base.

Comparison shows no deviation with an aerial taken last year.

Everything's in the same place it was six months ago.

Would that scan pick up little green men?

Very funny.

You don't really think a UFO took that little girl. I didn't say that.

And you're being closed -minded.

No, I just reserve believing in things until I actually see them.

Which is what everyone who's closed -minded says.

Did you see that?

No.

Neither did I.

I

don't

care what the taco said. That man's so dense, he wouldn't notice if a brick hit

him on the side of the head.

Have you witnessed other bodies, Mr. Cole?

Lives in the sky, but nothing like that. And nothing like that pain.

And I'll tell you, that Mexican...

He didn't steal Kathy. I mean, he was more afraid of it than I was.

All this damage happened that night, sir?

You don't have to serve me, Lieutenant. My name is J .D.

You didn't serve me when I was in the Navy. No reason to do it now.

You serve in Vietnam, J .D.? Two tours at a seal.

That's why I moved out here, because I never want to see another jungle again

an officer.

How close were you to the UFO?

UFOs?

They're a crock, ma 'am.

You have another explanation for what you saw?

Maybe.

My last tour, they sent us in clouds with these little black boxes. Now, I

didn't know what they did or what they were, but we planted them and then we

pulled out. But you see, Charlie, he never went near that area again.

The military isn't behind what you saw. Oh, like I thought. You'd say something

different.

Anything besides the pain in the life?

Just when the, uh, the north winds blow, there's a...

There's a smell, something chemical.

Like those little black boxes we buried.

They smelled, too.

Now, you got any more questions, Lieutenant?

Is Kathy happy here?

She never knew my brother.

And her mother died last year in a car accident. And it's either me or the

orphanage. And so far, I am winning by a hair.

And unless I'm wrong...

The Navy sent you here, not social services.

We'd like to get Kathy back, J .D.

Well, didn't you tell the spooks that you were working for?

You tell them to give her back to me.

We'll contact you tonight. Before we leave, let you know.

Something took that place apart. You ever seen anything like it before? No.

But from the pain he described and the high -frequency sound, it could have

caused by sonic pressure. Well, there are sonic weapons in development.

Not here, Mae.

They wouldn't have sent us out here to investigate if something like that were

going on.

Maybe we aren't developing it.

Maybe it's an ancillary effect from something we know nothing about.

You mean like a UFO?

I didn't say that.

You were thinking it.

Let's go back to the base.

See if J .D.'s nose picked up something that ATAR scan didn't. I'll call the

sheriff to unlock the gate. No.

There is something going on in that base. You might be in on it.

I assume your legal skills include picking the lock?

They do, but we won't be using the gate. There is someone on the base. They'll

be watching the gate.

I think J .D. was right.

Not about the Navy, but who knows who else might be out there.

Or what?

Grab the floor, man.

You think it's hot?

No current.

My four bits.

I never understood bits.

It comes from the old Spanish dollar, pieces of eight.

Two bits, two quarter. Four bits, 50 cents. My 50 cents, which is in your

pocket.

I bet you go Dutch on dates.

It's the only coin I've got. We may want to check this thing. It's coming back

out.

Thank you.

We're gonna start.

Go down this street and come back along the flight line.

Nothing. Did you expect the spaceships to be lined up along the tarmac?

Very funny.

Seriously. If there was a race advanced enough to travel millions of light years

to Earth, I truly doubt we could catch them no matter how much we wanted.

That's strange.

What?

Walk to me and listen.

Sand. It's everywhere.

Except in front of the hangar.

The wind swirls around the hangar and blows it clean.

What do you mean?

Engine oil.

Maybe it's been there a long time.

Hasn't dried up. No sand.

Right.

Kathy?

There's no other way out of here Apparently there is You

think this is what's been flying in and out of here Well, not without a tail

rotor No one's flown this for a long time

I saw it disappear into the hangar. You said Bing was believing. But what did we

see? The UFO were an illusion.

Nothing physical could vanish like that. Except it did. Harm, we have no idea

what we're dealing with here. We agree on that.

At least we can tell J .D. Kathy's hiding somewhere on the base.

She looks so small and scared.

Well, don't worry. The Navy will have a security team in here by sunup.

We'll find Kathy whenever it was we saw.

Why didn't that make me feel better?

It's hot.

Super hot.

Where's the base power station?

Here.

There's no lights.

There's nothing on but the perimeter fence.

Could be a residual charge.

Caused by the UFO?

Why not? We don't know what power did.

A strong magnetic force could have charged a fence capacitor.

charged that strong would have jerked the fillings out of our teeth.

I don't have any fillings.

I don't know. This fence is being charged by the base power station. It

be that way.

Asylum is a tomb.

Can't say much for your simile.

There must be another power plant on the base. Not according to the plan.

What? Get down!

I counted the beams. There's at least five of them out there.

Five what?

Men. Those were targeting beams, Meg.

Targeting beams are red.

Well, maybe they don't like red.

Or can't see red.

Aliens again?

I'm just saying maybe they can't see red light.

Where's base operations?

There'll be a communications center there.

If the fence has power, maybe it does too.

Got it. It's near the tower.

You ready?

After you.

Down here.

No, dude.

We talked to your uncle.

He's worried about you.

Right. Kathy, who are they?

I don't know.

I followed them here because I thought they'd be ghosts.

You want them to be ghosts?

Uh -huh.

Why not? You wanted them to be aliens.

Why do you want them to be ghosts, Kathy?

It's okay.

You can tell me.

You'll think it's silly.

No, I won't.

You might.

But I... won't.

If they were ghosts, maybe they could talk to other ghosts.

Then they could talk to my mom and get my mom to talk to me.

See? You think it's silly.

No.

I'm just sorry I didn't think of it.

Is your mother dead too?

No. My father.

I never knew my father, but I'd talk to him if I could.

J .D.'s very worried about you.

Right. He is. That's why we're looking for you.

J .D. wouldn't call someone in a uniform if the house was on fire.

He didn't. He called the TV station.

Cool.

Kathy, did they come in here?

You can't even say it. The spaceship.

If they did that, I wouldn't have thought they were ghosts.

They'd be aliens.

No spaceship.

I don't think that thing is a spaceship.

From the mouths of things.

What about the sound?

Didn't that hurt you?

It's not too bad if you hold your fingers in your ears.

Sonic pressure.

Kathy, how did you get on the base?

The same way I always do when I come here to play.

There's the tunnel under the fence.

Too small.

Sorry, I didn't think about that.

It's okay, Kathy.

Do you know how to operate a cellular phone?

Please, I'm dead.

Here's the key to our car.

It's about a half a mile that way.

Put the key in the ignition, turn it on. The phone will light up. Press zero

three times.

You'll get a Navy operator.

Tell them Lieutenant Rapp needs level red support.

Can you do that?

Key technician, turn it on. Dial zero three times. Lieutenant Rav needs level

red support.

Did I get a ribbon like that one?

You get it right now.

thousands of reports of unidentified flying objects.

As a rule, people who admit to having an encounter with a UFO open themselves to

ridicule and derision.

Some will call them crazy.

Others will openly accuse them of concocting a hoax.

In this story... Boo!

Lord!

J .D., you weren't going to get yourself killed scaring people like that.

Oh, I doubt that, Steve.

You know these, uh...

Navy people came by to see me.

Yeah, I know. I sent them.

Well, they said they were going to check in on me before they took off.

Let me know if they found out anything about Kathy, but they didn't show.

Well, that's the Navy, isn't it? Well, you know what I'm thinking? Maybe what

happened to Kathy might have happened to them, too.

You mean they ran away from you like she did?

What in the hell is wrong with you? I've got to get on that base, all right? In

the morning. No, the morning's too late.

J .D., you realize that I am probably going to get another one of these from

that sheriff in San Antone. Now, just where in the hell did he pick Kathy up

last time, huh?

El Paso.

El Paso.

Yeah.

Look, uh... Do...

Didn't run away this time.

Yeah, well, what happened?

She and I, you know, we're getting along so much better now.

Now, Stu, she is out in that bay.

I mean, she might have a nest or something. How did she get in?

She's capable.

She's so capable. Oh, hell.

Stu.

I'll look.

Thanks.

By myself.

She's my niece.

I either go alone or I don't go.

What's it going to be?

Now, Cal, I'm going to sit here and I'm going to wait for you to come back then,

huh?

I was afraid you were going to say that.

I'll be damned.

J .D. was right.

Are you okay?

They're after them.

Lieutenant Rapp said to call for level red support.

Call who? The Navy.

Where is Lieutenant Rapp? On the base.

This is Sheriff Polk.

Y 'all come out.

Come on, Navy. I need my sleep.

Is that you, Lieutenant?

Wow.

All clear.

They must be sending a lecture to the only to defend.

It was off when Sheriff Pope and I drove in.

He's dead, you know.

They're not going to get us, Gabby. Yes, they will.

No, they won't.

Did you call the Navy operator?

The sheriff wouldn't let me.

He didn't believe her. I think he's paid for that, Meg.

J .D. was right, wasn't he?

The government's doing something secret here.

Well, there's something secret going on about how government isn't behind it,

Kathy. What if it's an operation the government doesn't know about?

Next, you'll be talking about black helicopters and U .N. troops taking over

country.

You're right. That only brings me back to a possibility you don't want to

discuss. I don't think aliens would be taught an M -33 baseball grenade.

flesh and blood, no matter what they look like, Meg.

I knew they weren't ghosts.

Sorry, Kathy.

It's okay.

I wouldn't want ghosts like that talking to my mommy anyway.

Why'd they turn the power off at the fence?

Because if the sheriff found the fence hot, he'd have gone for help.

Think they turned it back on?

Most likely.

Let me see those, Kathy.

Night vision goggles.

This is how they've been tracking us.

I see three of them by the big hangar. You think that's all there are?

That was blinding.

Get down.

This is Lieutenant Os... Damn.

It's an R5D with no markings. Pulled into the big hangar.

Where's the sheriff's car?

Around front.

I don't see anyone.

If we can get to his car, we could crash the main gate.

He's dead. I don't want to see him again.

You won't have to, honey.

Three of us would have a tough time getting there without being seen alone.

have a better chance.

You're going to leave us behind?

The chapel's on the way to the gate.

There's some cover between here and there.

We're better to meet than at a church, right?

Right.

Let's go.

Are you scared?

A little.

Me too.

My mom used to hold me when I was scared.

Come here.

You kind of smell like mom.

About now I smell like a Texas Bronc buster.

Your mom busts Broncos?

She rode horses. Me too.

Really? What kind?

Quarter horses. She used to barrel race.

Me too.

You have a horse.

Tyree.

The best quarter horse in Texas.

You're Texas?

Ranch about a couple hundred miles north of here.

And when we're all finished here, you and I are going to go riding there.

Can I live there with you?

I'm in the Navy, Kathy.

I don't live there anymore.

Besides, you have your uncle.

Judy doesn't like me.

He loves you, Kathy.

Did he say that?

He didn't have to.

I could tell.

He doesn't even know what grade I'm in.

I bet he does.

Honey!

Shut up, you're so big.

Mayday, mayday, does anybody read me?

Kathy, Meg, move it!

You scared the hell out of me, J .D.

The sheriff said that to me earlier.

Is he out in the car?

No.

He's dead.

Kathy? We found her. She's with Lieutenant Austin.

Thank God.

Where are they?

I don't know.

Look, we haven't got much time. They'll be gone when the sun's up. What are you

telling me now? They're vampires?

No.

But that is a logical explanation.

Vampires. J .D., were you here when the base was built? I was born here.

You remember the hangar excavations? Hell yes. They dug those foundations so

deep you could fit all of San Antonio.

They weren't laying foundations.

They were building underground hangars that would stand a nuclear strike.

That's how that UFO in R5 -D disappeared.

That hangar floor is probably an elevator, like on the deck of a carrier.

Oh, wait.

The government has got a UFO down there?

No.

But I'll bet there's a cocaine processing lab.

You said there's a chemical smell in the air now and then?

When you refine coca leaves, you use acetone. Well, that was the smell. It

like acetone. They're using underground hangars to process cocaine, and they're

scaring the locals away with their UFO.

And what about the sound?

High -intensity sonics.

Russians have been developing battlefield systems for a decade.

With their economy in such a mess, they probably sold one of the highest bidder.

God knows the drug lords have the dollars.

Sonics like that could cover the noise of anything flying.

It's probably just a helicopter with lights to make it look like a UFO.

With all the years of everyone ignoring sightings, it was guaranteed camouflage.

How did you get on the base?

Well, the gate was open.

It's not open anymore.

The fence is probably hot.

You think you could figure a way out?

I'm not going anywhere until I get my Kathy back, all right?

Lieutenant Brown, you have five minutes to appear at the base of the control

tower, unarmed, with your hands in the air, or they'll kill me.

And Kathy.

We know where they are. It's almost sunup. We'd never make it to the tower

without being seen. For a second.

That uniform had me fooled.

I thought you were Navy, but I forgot you're just another lawyer.

Tricky lawyer.

J .D., they don't know there's two of us.

You don't give you that one bummer Avahan

Shouldn't

have given up sir.

I didn't have a choice.

All right

So this is how they get on the ground.

Despacio.

Apúrense!

What the hell are you going to do with us?

What?

He'll shoot us if we don't shut up.

What's the plan?

I think we're playing it by ear, wouldn't you say?

He's afraid of that.

Hangar's a giant elevator.

Who else knows they're here?

He wants to know if anyone else knows we're here.

Well, hell yes.

SEAL Team Six is on their way.

Maybe he's here.

Lieutenant Ravlos ordered they not here.

Go.

He understood SEAL Team. He wants to know how you called them.

Well, the sheriff's car radio.

Radio. They've released one other. He just told them to lock the massacres

Listen, the SEALs are going to be here any minute. You might as well surrender.

The SEALs are going to arrive soon. It's better if you surrender.

Lies. But if not, we're going to take one of you with us.

He doesn't believe you. He's taking one of us with him as a hostage.

And the other two?

Take the girl.

No!

Listen, you know, kid, you're a pain in the ass. It's a good way of getting rid

of you.

You don't mean that.

The hell I don't.

I hate you, J .D.

Bueno, bastante.

Lleva a la chica a poner la máquina.

I hate you!

Go!

Easy, what's up?

Go!

Let me go!

Quiet!

No, you won't.

Turn the knob in 30 seconds.

Juan,

have you done something?

Juan, answer me!

Juan, answer me!

Answer me, Juan!

Algo está pasando. Vámonos. Jorge, para el suelo.

I've got one of them.

Let me think of a less painful rescue, sir.

Kathy?

The DEA

figures there's an acre of lab beneath us. Those four illegals were supplied by

border coyotes and slave labor.

Why would they bring the leaves all the way up here from Columbia?

Columbians are cracking down on processing.

This operation could have gone undetected for years if they hadn't

with the UFO.

Which is now an IFO.

Identified Flying Object.

You know, you're a pretty smart kid for being in the fourth grade.

You know what grade I'm in?

I think your uncle knows a lot more than you credit him for.

He knew they'd shoot whoever they'd up behind.

Is that true, J .D.? Hell no. If I knew that, I would have volunteered to be a

hostage. Why do you have to play the crusty old hermit?

You know you love her. Now stop pretending you don't.

Don't think this is going to cut any slack for you running away. You

I won't.

Go, Lieutenant.

Don't forget you and I have a writing date.

How do I write this up, Meg?

By the book.

You really want me to answer that you first thought we were dealing with a UFO

called Little Green Men?

Shut up and drive, sir.
