They aren't back.

Female companion.

Female companion.

Female companion.

You have been chosen.

We are Zada and Zethra.

Our planet is dying.

Jan Broberg, you must save us.

You are one of us.

It is time for your mission to begin.

And please help keep Jan and B safe

while they're gone.

And please tell them to bring us presents.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

both: Amen.

Do you think that Jan and Brother B

got in a car accident?

Hello, Broberg's.

- Hi, Bob. - It's Gail.

Has she heard anything?

She's offered to pick up the kids for school

since B's not here.

That is very thoughtful of you, Gail.

Of course.

You know, the boys have the spirit of mischief

in them this morning.

Yeah, I hate to interrupt,

but have you heard anything about Jan and B?

Uh, no.

But the manager at Pocatello Storage

said that he'd let me sneak a peak

inside the unit we couldn't see last night,

so I'll head over there after I drop the kids.

Oh, and I left word with the cousins

in Brigham City in case he stops by,

so I hope to hear back soon.

Well, let us know as soon as you do.

I will.

You know what?

How about I head to Brigham City myself? Huh?

Oh, Bob, don't drive all that way.

He'll probably just pull up here the minute you leave.

Oh, it's no trouble. I'll leave right now.

You hurry back and park yourself at home, all right?

In case he calls.

Suit yourself.

Bye now.

You hardly ate. Can I make you a sandwich?

I'm not that hungry.

Can I come help look for Jan?

Yeah. Come on, get your coat.

Female companion,

you have been assigned a male companion.

The male companion

will help you with the mission.

Go to the front of the motor home.

B, wake up. B.

Dolly?

Oh, Dolly, you all right?

Oh, thank God you're okay.

Okay.

Where are we?

I don't know.

You're bleeding.

I am?

Oh.

I remember driving.

And the instrument cluster on the car going crazy.

And I stopped.

And that's when I saw them.

Saw who?

These lights in a--

in a circle, and they're right overhead.

And they came down right beside us.

And that's when a couple of them emerged.

And they came, and they pulled me out of the car.

And then they held me by my arms.

They didn't look--

they didn't look strange or funny at all.

I guess they can look like regular people.

I said to them, I said, "What do you want?"

And they said you.

And I--

I tried to fight 'em off.

They were just too strong, and then they overpowered me,

and then I--I blacked out.

Next thing I know, you're waking me up here.

Hey.

What is it?

They--they talked to me.

They said their names were Zada and Zethra.

And what do they want?

They said they need me to save their planet.

They--they chose me.

But why you?

They said...

my mom is my real mom,

but my real dad is one of them.

Their leader.

How do they expect you to save them?

They said I need to meet the male companion.

And I think that's you.

My head is spinning.

They said that they'd be watching me,

and terrible things would happen

if I didn't complete the mission.

Like, Karen would go blind,

and Susan would have to take my place

because she's part alien, too.

And they'd vaporize my eternal soul.

Oh, honey.

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.

Hey.

Hey, it's okay.

Oh, I'm scared, too.

I'm scared, too.

Hey.

Here's what I know.

These people...

they exist,

and we have to do what they say.

Whether they're people like you and me from another planet

or angels or whatever they are,

we gotta do it.

But you know what else this means?

It means you're special.

I always knew you were,

but I guess I just never knew how special.

I don't know how we'll get through this.

But I am just so glad it's you, Dolly.

Hi, Dad. Hi, Karen.

Hi, Brother Broberg.

Hey, Freckle.

Jacob.

Why don't you guys go and play in Susan's room?

You too, Bright Eyes.

Go and wash up.

And I really think that we'll just know

it's one big misunderstanding.

Well, hey, Bob.

Any luck in Brigham City?

No, uh--

We didn't, um--

Why are you not at your house?

Oh, well, I figured Mary Ann could use some company.

Jasper's home, if they call.

I went by the storage unit.

It was empty.

There was no motorhome.

But I'm still waiting to hear back

from a few relatives, so--

It's time we ought to alert the authorities.

Gail.

What do you do if you were Jenny?

Mm-hmm. Well, thank you for filling me in on the situation.

Do you think this fella might hurt your girl?

He'd never hurt Jan. We just...

you know, thought we should contact you.

Sir, um--well, I--

And we would like to request

that you keep this confidential.

If you don't think she's in danger,

and you don't want to file a missing persons report,

I don't know what there is to keep confidential.

Since there's a minor involved,

I'd advise you to call the local FBI office

just to keep them informed.

Uh--oh, all right.

Thank you.

What did he say?

He said we should call the local FBI office.

The FBI?

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann, please, I just don't understand

what good could come from this.

And I just think that we should think about it

just for a minute, please. Please.

Hello, you've reached the Pocatello office of the FBI.

This office is closed until Monday at 8:00 AM.

If this is an emergency,

please call the FBI's central office in Butte, Montana.

It's closed till Monday.

They said if it's a real emergency

to call the central office in Butte.

Central office?

If it's just to keep them informed--

He'll be back by Monday.

If he's not, we call the FBI first thing Monday morning.

He'll be back.

He will.

He will be.

Peter Welsh, FBI.

Sorry to sound like a broken record,

but what exactly is your relationship

with Robert Berchtold?

Well, he's practically a member of the family.

He loves his children like they're his own,

like we love his.

And he's a member of our church.

Sorry to interrupt. Pete?

One sec.

Excuse me.

The police found Berchtold's Ford Maverick

near Snake River about 12 miles south

of American Falls.

They found Jan's jacket inside.

Driver's side window was broken

from the inside.

And whoever broke that window cut their hand

because there was blood on the driver's seat.

Do you think that he faked it?

That's exactly what I think.

Do you think it has something to do

with his illness, I wonder?

What illness is that?

He'd been seeing a counselor for his manic depression.

It's one of the reason Gail, his wife,

said we ought to wait to call you.

His wife said what?

- Hey, give it back! - No! I got it.

Hey, give that back.

- Thank you. - Of course.

Thank you.

Excuse me for one moment.

- Tried to-- - I have it.

So it's mine for the day. - Boys.

Hey, I just need five minutes,

if you could settle down and go play in your bedroom.

And play nice.

I'm sorry it's such a mess in here.

It's all right, Mrs. Berchtold.

Ma'am.

Did you-- did you notice anything

out of the ordinary about your husband

in the past few weeks?

He has his ups and downs, you know?

Um--

I just wanna make sure that we're not turning this...

private situation into some kind of

big public nuisance.

This is not a private situation.

If your husband needs help, he's not gonna get it

unless you help us bring him home.

Mrs. Berchtold, the longer he's out there

with Jan Broberg, the worse this gets.

So is there anything that you remember?

Anything at all?

Are you aware of Berchtold

ever giving your daughter drugs?

- Oh, goodness, no. - She's 12.

Why?

His wife saw him emptying medicine capsules

into the toilet last week.

Did he ever give Jan any pills?

He gave us allergy pills for Jan

so she could go horseback riding.

There may still be some in the cabinet.

I'm gonna need those please. We'll send them to our lab.

Of course.

- Hi. - Hello.

I'm Dr. Alan Milstein,

Mr. Berchtold's psychiatrist

from the Albert Clinic out west.

I was hoping to speak with the agent in charge.

- That'd be us. - In private.

Sure.

Do you think that's the psychiatrist

that told B to listen to those tapes of his?

Thank you. Can you wait outside, please?

Mary Ann, Bob? Why don't you sit down.

This Dr. Milstein seems to know quite a bit

about your family.

I'm not sure how to put this, but...

Do you know what a pedophile is?

Is it a medical term?

Well, actually, I'm just--

I'm just hearing the word for the first time myself.

Apparently it's a condition

where an adult man develops a fixation

on young girls.

Fixation?

Like, he's obsessed.

And Dr. Milstein says your friend Berchtold

may have this condition.

What's the treatment?

What do you mean, obsessed?

I honestly don't know.

♪ We too have followed the golden sun ♪

♪ It feels so good ♪

♪ Knowing the watchman's gone ♪

And a goose went up

and started walking and walking,

and then went "Ah!"

It was super scary.

Did it fly or just give you a little beak?

It gave me a little beak.

I can't remember.

Did you take your allergy pill yet today?

Here you go.

Good, good.

Remember to keep taking those pills.

That way you stay--

B?

B, are you okay?

B, wake up.

Your mission begins now.

You will have special child

with male companion. - B?

B? - The male companion

will tell you how.

Drive south.

- B, wake up. - Drive south.

Oh, hey. Hey.

What just happened?

It was them. They were talking to me.

The people from another planet.

What else did they say?

It is you. You're the male companion.

Whoa.

We got recording devices on Gail's phone.

Thank you. And his both Joe down in Ogden,

and a few others.

Hopefully something turns up.

But I want to talk to you about going public.

Mr. Welsh, we talked about it,

and, you know, with the girls' school finding out

if all of this is in the papers,

it could make things worse, not better.

Not to mention Gail and her boys.

They have it hard enough without him

to put food on the table.

I've got daughters, too.

I'm a religious man. Methodist.

You're good people. I can see that.

And you're trying to do the right thing.

Right now, the right thing

is whatever gives us the best chance

of getting Jan back.

Mr. Welsh.

Pete.

Pete...

we just want Jan back.

Tell us what you would do.

I'd make sure every newspaper in the U.S.,

Mexico, and Canada knew about it.

Then that's what we'll do.

Great. They'll stop every man traveling with a little girl

for a thousand miles.

And if he tries to go to a train station,

stop at a bank, cross a border,

we got him.

Remember, Jasper's birthday's September 4th.

Just in case they ask.

Reason you're visiting Mexico?

Oh, just a little father/son time.

It's okay now.

Enjoy your stay in Mexico.

Will do.

One Mississippi, two Mississippi,

three Mississippi...

Elder Hinckley, we all wanna thank you

for coming to our town

to offer Bob and Mary Ann your prayers and your wisdom.

It's truly been a blessing.

You're very welcome, Bishop Paulsen.

My the Lord bring us all peace, understanding, and wisdom.

Amen.

I pray daily for Jan and those who are working

to bring her home.

And I pray for Brother Berchtold,

that he may be healed of his affliction

and return safely to his family.

Thank you.

I should go collect the boys.

Any news from the FBI?

Agent Welsh says that, um...

two weeks is on the long side.

But we have faith.

No matter how much time it takes, we will.

We will.

What's the matter?

You don't like it?

I do.

Come on.

You can tell me.

I was just thinking about what Karen and Susan

are doing right now.

I really wish things would just

go back to the way they were before.

Well, I do too, Dolly.

I do.

Hey.

Come with me.

Look up there.

What do you see?

I see the stars.

Right.

And that, up there,

that is where you are from.

That's where Zada and Zethra are right now.

Every time you look at the sky,

I want you to remember,

your people need you,

and they're watching.

There's little kids up there, too.

Just like you.

They're on a dying planet.

And they're counting on you

to do everything you can to save them.

- Hey, you look good in green. - Hey, Joe.

Hi. Oh, that's a beautiful car.

Hey, can we get this beautiful lady

in this beautiful car please?

Hey, you like this car? Half off.

I'm just kidding.

Who's got the phone?

No--

Just keep selling these cars.

This is Ogden Auto Traders. This is Joe Berchtold speaking.

Hey, there, Joe.

How's tricks?

Good morning, Mary Ann.

We have news.

Hello, Mrs. Berchtold.

Where's Bob?

He's in Wyoming.

Why is he in Wyoming?

A psychic told his uncle that Jan might be there, so--

Bob doesn't believe in all that,

but he thought it couldn't hurt to check.

Well, we'll have to proceed without him.

Joe Berchtold got a call from his brother.

There's a dozen phone lines at the dealership.

Berchtold must have known that we couldn't tap them all.

All that Joe would say is that Berchtold told him

Jan was safe.

Joe doesn't trust the FBI, so I would like you, Mary Ann,

to call Joe and see if you can't get him

to talk about his conversation with his brother.

You think that if he knew how broken up we are about Jan,

he might help us more?

I can help, too.

I know Joe.

Joe? Mary Ann Broberg.

I've got Gail on the other line here.

We heard Bob called.

Uh, yeah, yeah. I already--

I already told the FBI about it.

Could you tell us?

He just said that Jan was safe. That's all.

Look, I'm not looking to get mixed up into any of this.

Joe, did he say anything

about where he is, or...

if Jan misses us?

Truth be told, I wish he never called me, okay?

Look, I don't want any trouble with the FBI,

but I'm real busy here.

I gotta go.

Joe.

It's Gail.

Did Bob say anything

about leaving us money?

Uh, no, nothing about that either, Gail.

It's just, I have all these bills here.

And I could really use some help.

Sell the Maverick.

I would, but the thunderhead broke the window.

I could just about wring his neck,

and that car has no insurance, so--

Yeah, that's a bum deal.

Hey, well,

how about you let me know if there's any way

that you can think of me helping you,

and we'll talk real soon.

Now, take care, Gail.

Joe--

If--

if you talk to him again, I want you to

tell him how broken up Jan's family is.

How her dad and me can't sleep.

We just stay up at night, thinking about her,

wondering if we're ever gonna get to see her again.

I know that you're a decent man,

and you'd do anything that you could

to help us get her back.

So if there's anything that your brother said

that could have slipped your mind...

Look, I--I really don't want to get involved in this.

There was one thing, okay?

It all just sounded crazy to me, but...

he's really worried about those kidnapping charges,

so he said that the only way that he would be able

to bring her back without facing jailtime

is if you give him your permission to...

To marry her.

Absolutely not!

No way. That--that's sick.

I'm as sick about it as you are,

but if it's the only way to get her back--

He is not going to marry our 12-year-old daughter.

He's already married

to you, Gail.

No, no, no,

I'm not saying that we sh--

I just think if there's a way

to shock him back into reality--

Gail. Right now, I think it's best

that you go tend to your family at home.

I should go check on the boys, anyhow.

You take care.

Let me know.

We are not letting him marry our daughter.

Of course not.

But you don't need to worry about that

because Mary Ann did such a bang-up job on that call.

- I did? - You did.

The fact that Berchtold asked his brother to rely a request,

it means he's going to be calling back,

and when he does,

we've got a shot at tracking his location.

♪ Holdin' on ♪

♪ Barely holding on ♪

You want a cigarette?

Quit a couple years back.

The smell makes me sick.

So you guys gonna be here all week?

This is Joe Berchtold speaking.

Joe, it's me.

What'd the Broberg's say?

I'm sorry, who is this?

It's me. It's Bob. Who else would it be?

I'm sorry, Bob, you're sounding kind of different.

Where are you?

What'd the Brobergs say, Joe?

They said they were interested in your offer.

They said that? They said "interested"?

Uh, yeah, yeah. They want to do it.

You feel pretty good they're not stalling

or nothing like that. - Yeah, yeah.

They just-- they need some time, you know,

to figure out all the paperwork.

Okay, good. Good, good, good.

Tell 'em the sooner, the better,

okay, for all of us.

Well, I should go.

Hey, Bob, you didn't say, how's Jan doing?

How's Jan's doing?

The heck you talkin' about, Joe?

I don't know, they asked me to check in on her,

see how she was doing.

They're worried about her, Bob.

Well, you just tell them

to worry about that paperwork.

Bye now, Joe.

It's been real rainy here, you know?

Are you getting a lot of rain by you?

Joe, you know I'm not gonna talk to you about my location.

'Cause I wouldn't wanna put you in that kinda position.

What kinda position is that?

I just don't know what I would do

if somebody got in the way of my life

and the way I live it.

Even if that somebody was you.

Are you-- are you threatening me, Bob?

You just take care, brother.

How was that?

Did we get him?

Bob, Mary Ann.

We tracked him to a hotel in Mazatlán, Mexico.

And we're confident that Jan is with him, very close by.

The Mexican authorities are working to apprehend him now.

But, I have to warn you,

Jan, when she returns, she--

she may not be herself.

What do you mean?

It's possible that she could be influenced

like Patty Hearst.

Jan's no Patty Hearst.

We need her birth certificate.

We'll send that down by messenger

to the federales. - I'll go get it.

I'll bring it with us on the plane.

Actually, we would advise against you two

getting on a plane right now.

It could be dangerous.

And, heck, you don't even speak the language.

Let's just let the Mexican police handle this.

Mrs. Broberg, are you all right?

Jan's birth certificate is gone. He took it.

I know it was him.

It's all right. It's all right.

We'll find some other documentation to send out.

Pete--Agent McDaniel, we are very grateful

for everything you've done for us,

but unless is it against the law

for us to book a flight to Mexico,

we are booking a flight to Mexico.

B! B.

Wake up, hurry. - What is it, Dolly?

They're here. The people from another planet.

Shit.

Take me, not her.

What are they doing?

- It's okay. - You're hurting him! Stop it!

Let him go! No, don't! - Whatever happens,

it's the mission, remember about the mission.

We'll finish the mission!

Just leave him alone!

It's okay.

No! Leave me alone!

Get off me!

We'll finish the mission, I promise.

Where are they taking us?

It's okay.

Dolly, it's okay. Dolly, it's all right.

It's all right, Dolly.

Please don't leave me.

Don't touch her. Hey!

It's you and me. It's you and me, Dolly.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay, Dolly. It's you and me.

Dolly.

Dolly, can you hear me?

Doll-- - Silencio.

Okay.

Sir? Officer?

Silencio.

Hey.

Two minutes.

Vamos.

- Hey. - B!

- Hey. - Are you okay?

Did they hurt you? - Did you let

that man touch your arm?

- No. - All right, good.

Do you remember what they said?

You are not to have any contact

with any man other than your male companion.

All right?

And that goes for you so-called father on Earth.

That's especially for Bob.

You gotta remember, okay?

You're different. You're special.

All right, you're not like the other kids.

Okay?

Come here. Come over here.

Do you remember how we talked about

at some point there would come a time

where we would both be tested?

Yes.

That time has come.

What's gonna happen?

What are we gonna do?

Well, you don't want them to make Karen blind,

and you don't want them to send a new companion, do you?

- No. - Okay.

Okay, okay.

Then your dedication to the mission cannot waver.

We don't have a lot of time.

So Zada spoke to me directly.

Said they are going to be watching us all the time,

and they're gonna look like regular people.

We're not gonna know who they are.

And we need to follow four important rules.

Okay, number one,

we can't tell anyone--anyone about Zada or Zethra

or their people.

Do you understand?

Two, we cannot tell anyone about the mission.

Three...

you can't say a word to anyone

about how the allergy pills make you sleepy.

- Okay. - Okay?

Four, you can't tell anyone about the--

the baby stuff.

Okay?

You understand?

Say it back to me.

Don't--don't tell about Zada and Zethra

or the mission. - Mm-hmm.

Or--

- The pills. - And?

- And the baby. - Good, yeah. Okay.

Okay, good.

This is it.

This is it, Dolly, okay?

You break any of those rules,

they're gonna punish Karen and Susan

and your mother, too.

And I don't want that to happen.

Okay, 'cause I love them.

And I know I want you to love them, too.

All right, you understand?

All right.

I got you something.

Tiempo!

Just a second, please. Just a second, please!

This...

This is a reminder of the mission

and a symbol of our bond which makes everything okay.

I don't know what's gonna happen to me,

but I'm gonna stay strong for you, Dolly, okay?

And you stay strong for me. You stay strong for me.

I'm gonna be with you always. I'm gonna be with you always.

Okay? I'm gonna be with you always.

Please let me stay with him, please.

All right, I love you. I love you. I love you.

And I always will!

I love you!
