Alien Nation: Dark Horizon Page #7

Contact the others.

I'm leaving tomorrow to rendezvous with the

mother ship and coordinate the operation.

We'll return... in force.

[Tenctonese]

Susan,

is Ahpossno still here?

He left.

- Did he say where he was going?

- No.

Isn't it enough

that he's gone?

Our village.

I was very little when I was taken,

but still I remember.

The quality of lightm-

I just can't seem to get it.

Susan, we can't go back.

We're here now.

That's gone.

And you're not going to recreate it...

be segregating yourself

in a phony Tenctonese village.

That's death, Susan.

It's the loss of hope.

I can't stop you

if you decide to leave.

But I won't go with you.

It's against everything

I believe.

I have hope.

[Knocking]

- Matt.

- Can I come in?

- Matt, nothing's changed.

- This is police business.

- Do you know where Ahpossno is?

- Isn't he at the Franciscos'?

Not anymore.

Do you have plans to see him?

He's coming here tomorrow.

I'm taking him to Edwards.

He wants to see where

the space shuttle lands.

- Did he leave any possessions here?

- Nol

I'm not gonna answer any more questions

until you tell me what this is all about.

- Ahpossno is a suspect in a murder investigation.

- What?

We think he's killed two peoplem-

a human and a Newcomer.

How can you stoop

so low?

What are you

talking about?

Finally, after all this time, you decide

that you want a relationship with me.

- Cathym-

- You're jealous of Ahpossno.

You know he has feelings

for me and that I have feelings for him.

- So you turn him into a murder suspect.

- You think I'd do that?

I don't know what you're capable of.

You're only human.

You look me in the eye

and tell me Ahpossno's on the square!

Tell me he's got nothing to hide!

Tell me you have no doubts about him!

Get your hands off me!

Mattm-

[Chattering]

Everybody, may I have

your attention, please?

- [Chattering Stops]

- Thank you. Um, I have an announcement to make.

As you've probably heard, Chief Amburgey

has instituted a new awardm-

the M.V.P., Most Valuable Playerm-

uh, Personm-

to commend outstanding

performance in the line of duty...

particularly among

support personnel.

Deciding the first recipient

was a difficult task...

but the choice

was inescapable.

The first-ever All Precinct M.V.P. Award

goes to our own Albert Einstein.

- [Applause]

- [Whooping]

Come on up here, Albert.

Get your plaque.

Now, this shouldn't come

as a surprise to anyone.

We all know that our station

couldn't function without you.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- [Man] Nice job, Al.

[Man #2]

Way to go.

Everybody back to work.

Uh, listen, Al.

Sometimes I get

a little impatient...

but it doesn't

mean anything.

That's just

the way I am. Okay?

Okay.

Matt, where Taylor's neck was broken,

they found Newcomer skin cells.

I ran a tissue-type.

It wasn't in the computer.

So whoever killed Taylor

never went through quarantine.

- Just like Ahpossno.

- Yeah.

What do you make of that?

S.I.D. Found it near Taylor's body.

- It's the symbol of the Chekkah.

- The what?

An elite Overseer

reconnaissance unit.

So?

There were no members

of the Chekkah aboard our ship.

- How can that be?

- They're military personnel.

They're never stationed

aboard slave transport ships.

- Ahpossno must've just arrived.

- What are you talkin'-

They sent him.

He must've landed in the desert.

- That shooting star.

- They're coming to enslave us again!

George?

George!

Cathy.

The isolator

you brought to the hospitalm-

I never saw anything

that advanced on the ship.

The rash on your neck? Five years in the desert,

and you never saw a human?

You just landed here,

didn't you?

- Why are you here?

- It doesn't matter.

I'm going now,

and I want you to come with me.

No.

[Car Approaching]

Put your hands up!

Move away from her!

This is 1 -William-152

requesting backup at 846 East Alameda.

- Get your hands up now!

- [Police Radio Chatter]

[Shouting]

[Shouting]

Stopl Stopl Don't kill himl

I'll go with you.

[Gagging]

[Bird Cawing]

[Tenctonese] Ahpossnom-

[Tenctonese Continues]

- Don't do this.

- You'll be free. You'll be with me.

You've seen our life here,

our chance at happiness.

- Don't let them take that away.

- I'm a soldier. I have my orders.

- Tell them that we're dead. Tell them not to come!

- No!

Stay here.

Live with us.

I cannot change who I am.

Neither can I.

This is as far as I go.

Cathy, I care for you.

Come with me.

I cannot be free

if the others are slaves.

Ahpossnol Ahpossnol

You and I. For this.

Keep your life.

I don't want it.

[Tenctonese]

Or does the Chekkah

have no honor?

Don't do this, George.

He'll kill you!

[Grunts]

Georgem-

Well?

[Spitting]

[Shouting]

[Shouting]

[Gasping]

You owe me your life.

[Labored Breathing]

I will take your soul.

[Siren Wailing In Distance]

[Car Door Opens]

Get away from herl

[Officer Shouts]

- Policel Come backl

- I got a good shot!

[Shouts In Tenctonese]

Cathy! George!

[Beeping]

[Beeping]

[Beeping Continues]

- [Beeping Intensifies]

- No!

Why?

I had him!

I was gonna bring him down!

- Do you realize what you've done?

- Yes.

Cathy.

[Tenctonese]

I had to fight him.

He had to take the serdso.

It's filled

with the virus.

By the time Ahpossno

reaches the mother ship, he'll be dead.

They'll think

it's this planet.

They won't come.

[Labored Breathing]

[Man Shouting In Tenctonese]

[Shouting]

Ahpossno!

Ahpossno.

Don't... go.

[Labored Breathing]

[Sustained Exhale]

[Sniffing]

##[Tenctonese]

In every marriage we celebrate the union

of our spiritual ancestors...

Celine and Andarko...

and today, these four hearts

shall be two.

We celebrate the integration

of our male and our female selves.

Today we are reminded that we cannot

live one without the other.

This is not just the joining

of two lives.

It is a symbol

of our universal marriage.

For, in fact, all species

are created one.

We are one in essence.

We are one in destiny.

We must strive to see

the creator in each of us...

to recognize the creator

in all things.

Only thus can we have love

and hope.

Only thus will we survive.

As part of

the marriage ceremony...

the bride and groom

will place their serdsos-

the symbol of their soulsm-

into the karabla,

the eternal ship...

as they begin

their life voyage together.

- Glenza.

- ##[Man Singing In Tenctonese]

- Okiana.

- ##[Woman Singing In Tenctonese]

And with the blessing

of Celine and Andarko...

and the power vested in me

by the state of California...

I now pronounce you

wife and husband.

- [Applause]

- [Laughter]

- Hey, Albert!

- [Chattering In Tenctonese]

##[Continues]

[Woman] Oh, Albert-

[Tenctonese]

##[Continues]

Albert.

##[Ends]
