Hollywood to the world, you're watching Vox Friday.

Fifty years ago, Navy pilot Adam MacArthur was abducted by aliens.

He escaped, but now the government and the military are the only ones who want

him. There he is! I can't let you take me back.

Oh, speak again, bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this night being o'er

my head as is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white upturned wondering

eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze on him when he bestrides the lazy pacing

clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air.

There's a little chill in the air tonight, Constance.

We should go back to your room.

Is Constance turning in early tonight?

Bit of a chill in the air. Okay. Give me a shout if you need a hand.

Thank you, Linda. I command it.

Amen.

Nice and easy.

Here we are.

That's better.

There we are.

Now, how about a few more pages of Romeo and Juliet?

Don't worry, my love.

Everything's going to be okay.

Sleep well upon thine eyes.

Peace in thy breast, would I were asleep.

May I help you?

I'm looking for Constance MacArthur's room.

And you are?

Adam MacArthur.

Immediate family?

Mm-hmm.

Just down there a ways.

speak again my angel now out is glorious to this night being o'er my head as is

a winged messenger of heaven unto the white upturned wondering eyes of mortals

that fall back to gaze on him when he bestrides the lazy pacing clouds

Ben Patton here.

He's here.

MacArthur is here.

Where? Standing in the hallway.

I'll take the front.

What's the call?

Hold your position. LaRue is coming around the front.

Don't do anything to spook MacArthur before he's surrounded.

Got it.

Sir, excuse me. We're FBI.

I got him inside.

What's he doing?

Far as I can tell, he's standing still as a gator in an ice storm.

Close in on my count.

Spoke too soon, he might have made me.

Count to three, take a look.

He's gone.

Move in.

Stay right there, sir.

What is this?

We lost him.

Lost who?

There was a man standing outside the door.

Yeah, he was staring at me like an owl the next second he was gone. Who was

that? Sir, you don't want to know. Constance doesn't need this excitement.

All right, gentlemen.

Check outside.

What in places do you think you're doing?

I'm sorry, man. We'll be out of your hair in a minute. You're darn right you

will.

Who are you people?

What do you want?

I'm looking for a ghost.

Well, look someplace else.

Stop bothering Mrs.

MacArthur.

I can't.

She's his wife.

Satellite imagery gives me a headache.

Take us through it, Sergeant.

Sir, on the left, a full-spectrum pass from our highest resolution bird.

This is Mill Lake, Oregon, where the UFO landed.

You can see that there are no residual traces of the bogey, the silent runner

that we were tracking last week.

Ion counts are normal across the range.

Now, over here.

In this transparency, something very interesting.

Don't editorialize, Roberts.

Carefully in this area.

Padlin. Sir.

Water and aspirin now.

Right away, sir. The anomaly in question only appears under near UV light.

Right here.

What is that?

I don't know. We're not making it. So who is?

That'd be speculation, sir.

How old is this image?

Four hours.

So, gentlemen, what do we have?

My mama used to tell me one man's stew is another man's slot.

Huh? What we got here is ingredients.

Little pinch of this, little dash of that.

Now it's up to us to cook something tasty.

Start in Utah with the Waldens.

Add one toasted, ultra-high performance classified aircraft.

Idaho.

One portion Louis Faraday discredited scientists.

Sprinkle liberally with anti-gravity research.

Stir in a little bit of Charlie Dalton, the original Adam MacArthur's

granddaughter. Simmer in Moonlight Bay. Where MacArthur goes under the knife for

brain surgery. Almost.

The Omega UFO cult. Potential terrorism.

Ben Proctor.

Vietnam vet and bank robber.

In Mill Lake, Oregon, a mystery chef makes an appearance, apparently dead,

but... No body recovered.

Sorry, boss man. Don't look like this beignet gonna rise.

Maybe we're just mixing it wrong.

For the first time, gentlemen, since we made contact with this Adam MacArthur,

the rules have changed.

In our favor.

Weiss's men never interviewed the young girl who took this photo on Halloween.

He has no way of knowing that we have it.

And that's how I wanted to stay.

Off the rails, gentlemen.

Off the books.

Unaccountable.

Charlie, how much junk do you have?

Sit down here in the shade. Come on.

Let's see what we have in here. Looks like some sheep.

Good boy, Duncan.

Good boy.

Who are you?

A friend.

My friends, few as they are, don't have the FBI on their tails.

That's exactly why I don't have much time.

To do what?

Harass me?

Mug me?

None of the above.

Spend some time with Constance before she dies.

How do you know her, friend?

You one of those con artist types?

No, and you wouldn't be talking to me if you thought so.

Oh, don't kid yourself.

You're to be my age to talk to anyone to hear something other than your own

voice.

It was not so long ago I had Constance.

My constant companion.

Constance, constant.

It's a pun.

So how do you know her?

We were close when I was younger.

What happened?

I moved away.

Hey, look at that.

He likes you.

I've been told I have a way with animals.

What's your name, son?

Adam.

Constance Hudson's name was Adam.

You a gambler?

Well, when the big horn sounds, we're all going to be gamblers.

Come Judgment Day, either you bet on coincidence or you bet on fate.

I believe we make our own fate.

Coincidence is usually just lack of vision.

Yeah, well, I never read those German philosophers, so I wouldn't know.

Oh, limited time.

Come on, then.

Let's go, Duncan.

All right.

Last one.

Try it. What do you got?

Oh, good.

Thank you, Lou. I really appreciate this. This is going to be so great.

Look at Durham. Guess he's back in town.

God, this is like college again. Yeah, except we have more wrinkles.

We are going to have so much fun.

I mean it.

I'm glad you're back.

That gets yours, too. I'm going.

Hey, Gracie, can I reach out? Mm-hmm.

All right, I'll see you guys tonight, okay? See you tonight.

Bye. Bye.

Murray.

Oh, goodness, you gave me such a jump.

But you come in here with me while I get dressed, okay?

Over here!

First squad, over here!

What'd you find, Sergeant?

I don't know.

Some kind of force field.

Down.

We're gonna need a little time, Colonel.

You know what to do, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

I don't know what you're hiding behind that shield, but we're gonna find it.

There you go.

Make yourself comfortable. Sit down over here.

How about a cup of tea?

Sure.

That's all.

Are these your drawings?

No, no, I haven't got an artistic bone in my body. Those are all Constance's.

Oh, before you start getting the wrong idea, we're not living together.

All you kids nowadays think nothing of it.

Shacking up, first time you get a chance.

My generation.

You shacked up when you both had the jewelry to make it legal.

Mm-hmm. I got my own place nearby.

Well, Henry, why do you... Because she's coming back.

Everything just the way she left it.

Not a speck of dust.

Spit and polish, just the way she always kept it.

I heard a song once when something like, uh, you never know what you've got

until it's gone.

Well, I've got some unfinished business with that woman.

So do I.

What's your occasion?

My anniversary.

I told you I was fine and I... I

must have forgotten.

Well,

don't wait up.

I love you.

Adam, tell me.

I'm serious.

You never say it. Come on, Constance. I gotta go.

Yeah, well, you can't say the words. Try writing it down sometime.

That's silly.

Why?

Because you're nuts.

I gotta go.

See you in a little bit.

Hello. This is Henry.

Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah.

Right away.

Yes, of course.

Thank you. Thank you, Linda.

Constance has taken a turn for the worse.

I think I should be there in case.

In case.

Come on, too.

I can't go.

It's not safe for me there.

You'll be all right with Duncan?

You go, and I'll be here when you get back.

What's happening?

Her pulse has been erratic. It's often the first sign.

I've been trying to reach her son, Jason MacArthur.

The information is hopelessly out of date.

You wouldn't happen to know. She's been out of touch with him for years.

Oh, I did manage to reach her granddaughter, Charlotte. Charlie, is

she coming? Yeah.

She's going to drive in from North Carolina.

You're going to beat this, my dear.

Because I have something very, very important I need to ask you.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, no. Please, not now.

Not now.

Come on. You all right?

Didn't mean to scare you.

It's my car.

I heard.

Where you headed?

Uh, Florida?

St. Petersburg?

Kidding. Tampa.

I'm stationed there.

Oh, you're in the Army.

Yeah, just returning from leave.

I could give you a ride.

Oh, no.

Thank you.

Right.

You don't know me and all that.

Uh, good luck.

Oh.

My name is Michael.

Michael O'Ryan.

Charlie Dalton.

Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

Michael?

Michael, wait.

Before I move, Sergeant!

Sir, we can't get a reading!

It's there, but it's not there!

What was that, Sergeant?

My imagination?

I want to know what it'll take to blast through this thing.

Private Merriam? Yes, sir. Over here, now, now. Colonel Vise, I do not

recommend this course of action.

Fire when ready, soldier.

Are you sure I can't help you with anything?

Positive.

It's always safer inside the car than out.

People drive like maniacs this time of night.

Sure wouldn't want you to get hurt.

How's Constance?

Well, she took a dip, but she came back.

No change so far.

Are you one of those, what do they call them, whackers?

You mean hacker?

Well, something like that.

Stealing everybody's credit card number.

You know I'm not, Henry.

I'm just trying to insert a little intrigue into the day, that's all.

Well, they reached her granddaughter, Charlie.

She's on her way. You know her?

I do a bit.

Can't seem to find Jason, though.

Her son.

That's right.

Do you know him?

No, he was out of Constance's life before I met her.

Did she talk about him?

Very painful for her.

She felt she failed him as a mother.

Well, it wasn't her fault.

Mothers always think it's their fault.

Jason was a troubled boy.

Expelled from school, arrested when he was 14, I think for shoplifting.

Wasn't just a rebellious stage?

Well, maybe, but the trouble continued.

When I first met Constance, she hadn't spoken to Jason for over ten years.

I'd ask about him, she would cry.

So I stopped asking.

Do you ever want to take it back?

Sure.

But we don't get that chance.

I know.

Boy, what I wouldn't give for a chance to take just one regret back.

What's your regret?

Well, even when you get as old as I am, you still don't think you're gonna die.

Oh, I mean, I know we're all gonna die.

It's just that you don't think you're gonna die that day.

There's always tomorrow.

Maybe if Constance had died, it would be easier, but...

But the way she is, her heart is beating, she's breathing. Maybe tomorrow

she could wake up.

Maybe tomorrow.

All I want is one hour.

One measly hour with her. Is that too much to ask?

Depends on why you want it, Henry, I guess.

I just want to ask her to be my wife.

Hi, Gran.

It's me, Charlie.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to come see you.

She can't hear me?

I think she can.

I'll just leave you two alone.

Boy,

have I got some stories for you.

Okay.

Working backwards.

I met a man who didn't treat me wrong.

At least not in the 12 hours we were together.

Okay, I didn't mean that the way it sounds.

Well, maybe we should just move to a different story.

Miss Dalton.

Miss Dalton.

Could we have a word with you, please?

I'm sorry, Agent... Wilcox.

Wilcox. But I have not seen nor do I know the whereabouts of Adam MacArthur.

And that's all I have to say.

Why don't you have a seat, Miss Dalton?

Danish?

No. We believe Adam MacArthur is in this area.

And frankly, we believe you could help us.

Find him.

Oh, my God.

Miss Dalton.

No, no, no, no, MacArthur!

I have to stop you before it's too late.

I've got an ID on the car.

We can utilize the local PD on this.

Circulate the photo.

Let's just keep this local. No big deal.

All right?

Let's move.

You know, I need to be leaving soon.

You're not gonna see Constance again?

Time's running out.

She doesn't have much longer to last, Henry.

All right. I can give her a message for you. Come on. Let's go.

The doctor says she doesn't comprehend, but I know she does.

Come on, boy. Duncan?

Duncan?

Duncan, what is it?

Come on, Duncan.

Come on, boy. Come on. Come on. Come on.

What's the matter with him?

He's old.

His heart's beating.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no. Duncan, come on, boy, please. Oh, my God.

No. Come on, baby. You're all right.

What happened?

What did you do?

All life resonates with energy.

The end of life is that energy drifting away.

The way a breeze washes away a scent.

I just gave Duncan some of my energy.

And you do that for people?

Yes.

For Constance, I can't cheat death.

Henry, nobody lives forever.

But you can give us our one hour together.

And then you can say goodbye.

It's too risky for me there.

You've got to try, Adam. You've got to try. We both have unfinished business.

Come on, Duncan.

Robert's here.

What in blue heaven is going on out there?

The situation is marginal, sir.

There's marginal and there's marginal, Sergeant.

Don't spit bureaucratic doublespeak at me. Call it the way you see it. Sir, I

believe that Colonel Vise has lost control of the situation.

Does he maintain command capacity?

Strictly, sir, yes.

It's his mental capacity that I question.

Is he dangerous?

I believe so, sir.

Do I need to remind you of the seriousness of your assessment,

Sergeant? No, sir.

I'm aware.

My assessment stands.

Very well.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Keep me informed.

Sir.

We got a make on Michael Ryan's car.

About ten blocks from here.

Mickey, let's roll.

Great. Hold on the fort.

Hello, my love.

Would you like to spend an hour in the conservatory?

I believe I can take care of that.

You always carry that?

Don't leave home without it.

Be my guest.

Andy just got raised.

Yeah?

Anything?

No sign of McCarthy?

Heads up.

We got a killer on the loose.

Johnson? My dear?

What's the matter? You said you could do it.

Adam?

Is it you?

I don't understand.

How?

It doesn't matter. Come here.

If I didn't care More than words can

say If I didn't care

Would I feel this way

If this isn't love

Couldn't let this day go by without seeing you.

Happy anniversary.

And you don't need to say anything.

I do.

You know, time means nothing to me now.

It's given me a chance to think and learn.

I know it's important.

I love you, Constance. I've always loved you. I always will.

I know.

I never had to hear it.

I felt it.

I'm so proud of you, Adam.

There's so much I want to ask you.

It's all in the past now.

Except our son.

Where is he?

I don't know.

Find him, Adam.

Help our son.

I promise you I will.

Are you Adam

MacArthur?

It's true, Henry.

It can't be.

But it is.

No.

No. Henry, wait.

You belong here more than I do.

This is your time together. Don't let it go to waste.

Adam.

I'll be back.

Constance, will you marry me?

I married you a long time ago, Henry.

Only you didn't know it.

Uh, excuse me.

I seem to be a little turned around. I'm sorry. Maybe you could help me.

Looking for Constance MacArthur.

Oh, then you would be looking for me.

Oh, great, great. I'm Michael O'Ryan. I'm a friend of your granddaughter's. We

rode down together.

She told me to meet her here.

It's so nice to make your acquaintance, Mr.

O'Ryan.

Henry Milton.

Forgive me, I'm staring. Your granddaughter, Charlotte, she described

you so differently. I was expecting... Oh, I know.

No one thinks I have much life left in me.

Not at all.

I'm sure the best is yet to come.

Oh, here.

Constance.

Easy now, sit down. Sit.

Take it easy.

Take your time.

Constance?

No.

Constance?

Constance?

Henry.

No.

No.

No, no. What's happening to her?

I don't know. I'll go get some help.

Constance? No.

No. No!

She's gone, Adam.

She's gone.

Bring her back.

Please, bring her back.

What happened?

You did this?

You've been playing with things you have no right to change.

What happened to her?

What's her time?

Set things back the way they were.

Why? You know why.

I have to undo everything you've done.

Let's go.

You're coming back with me now.

Freeze! Hold it!

Colonel James Vise? Yes.

Colonel Vise, I have orders to escort you to the NSA headquarters effective

immediately. Don't be ridiculous.

Colonel Vise, I'm asking you to read these.

Sir,

you're under arrest.

I can do it myself.

Enjoy your date in the sun, Roberts. I'll be back.

Sir!

A time to keep and a time to cast away.

A time to rend and a time to sow.

A time to keep silence and a time to speak.

All go unto one place.

All are of the dust and all turn to dust again.

Amen. May Constance MacArthur rest in peace.

Stay tuned for scenes from the next episode of The Visitor.

There is no way out of this facility without the access code.

Who are you? Really? We have a breach and we've got some movement in section

39.

I'm here to set you free. I won't go back with you by choice.

Have it your way.
