Aliens: Zone of Silence Page #4

---

Just-- hal, shut up.

No, seriously.

Shut the f*** up.

Shut the f*** up, all right?

I heard something out there.

[Hal]

where?

Up there, like,

coming from that mountain

that we were at earlier,

you know?

-[Rumbling]

-are you getting this?

[Hal]

you know what I'm getting?

I'm getting some

really good sunburn.

I'm serious,

you f***ing a**hole.

I'm serious, man.

[Hal]

okay.

-[Rumbling]

-no, listen!

Did you hear that?

Did you hear that?

It's like a shot or something.

Like a warning

or something like that.

They don't want us

out here, man.

[Hal]

i did hear that.

Yeah, see?

I'm not f***ing around.

[Beeping]

[Beeping continues]

[Goose]

I'm getting some readings.

I think you should stay

inside your tent.

[Breathing heavily]

Got to check the lasers.

See if anything

triggered them.

Okay, the first one's fine.

If something had triggered it,

it would be blinking,

and it's not.

Okay.

Test the second one.

What the f*** was that?

I'm too f***ing scared

to close my eyes.

Okay.

Calm down.

This is crazy.

You got to find

the other laser.

Where's the third one?

Where did the laser go?

I know it was right here.

Oh.

What the hell is that?

Goose?

goose, are you there?

You said you got some readings

or something.

What's out here?

[Goose]

one of the perimeter cameras

was knocked out

of position somehow.

Knocked?

did I do it?

[Goose]

you were still

inside the tent.

Well, then what?

[Goose]

i don't know.

Goose, how do you not know?

Is this some kind of

f***ing joke?

[Goose]

Morgan...

Give me something.

[Warbling static]

[Goose]

the transmission that

you picked up yesterday?

[Low growling]

Just stop it.

Do you know what it is?

Play it again.

[Static]

[Low growling]

A voice?

[Goose]

i think so.

Why would there be a voice?

It only separated

by playing it back

at a certain rate.

If you crank it up too fast,

it falls apart.

Okay, I don't know

what that means.

[Goose]

it means it's doesn't like

to be overheard.

Okay, so what now?

[Goose]

i don't know.

Hey, goose?

I found another one

of the media cards

in hal's mess kit.

It was in the deck of cards.

[Goose]

I'm not sure that he had

the charge to upload it.

You have to get

your power cells charged

for your return leg tomorrow.

I'm gonna go ahead and start

uploading these, okay?

[Beeping]

It's uploading.

[Alex]

this is the last time

I let dickweed

do the shopping.

Hey, doofus on the phone

with mommy!

It'd be most outstanding

if you could lend your expertise

to getting this stove started

over here.

Call your mom back later.

Mom, you-- mom, you--

beans? pork and beans.

Plenty.

Fire, what's that?

[Alex]

oh, sh*t.

Sh*t, hal!

-Hal, get out here, man.

-What, Alex?

Dude, something's

going on, man.

Get out here right now.

Hold on, something--

i got to go.

Something's going on.

[Alex]

dude, dude.

What the hell is that?

[Alex]

dude, your face is priceless.

Don't shoot me.

F***ing shoot that.

[Alex]

dude, this is just like

in the book, man.

How lucky are we?

[Hal]

your camera work is shoddy,

dude, come here.

It's gone.

Did you see how f***ing fast

that thing was?

It just, like, zoomed

across the sky, man.

-Alex?

-sh*t.

[Hal]

does every word out of your

mouth have to be "f***"?

I'm calling mom back.

Dude, f*** mom. This is some

fox mulder sh*t, man.

Holy Christ

in a f***ing cracker.

[Hal]

okay.

I'm headed towards the light.

It's about a mile ahead,

and I'm by myself.

Alex--

Alex has been, like,

freaking out.

He said, like, the light,

like, saw us or something.

And he's, like, freaking out

and he doesn't know

what's going on,

so we're gonna find out

what's going on.

[Grunting]

Man, I am out of shape.

[Coughs]

Whoa.

There it is.

There it is.

Alex!

I got completely disoriented.

Just flash your light

if you can hear me.

[Distant clicking]

If that is you, stop it!

[Clicking continues]

Alex?

[Mutters]

Alex!

That's it! I'm done!

I'm out of here!

Don't screw with--

[grunts]

stop it!

-[Alex laughing]

-[Hal] God damn.

Son of a b*tch!

F***ing goddamn

son of a cocksucker!

And he calls himself a marine,

ladies and gentlemen.

You could've f***ing

given me a heart attack!

[Alex]

sorry, man, I saw you

coming a mile away,

you great oaf.

What was that sound?

[Alex]

what sound?

You know what sound

I'm talking about.

That sound

that you were making.

That click, click,

click, click.

[Alex]

this one?

[Clicking]

Stop, stop.

Make the sound. Make it.

[Alex]

dude, I don't know

what you're talking about.

I'm done.

I'm done with this.

I'm not doing this

anymore, man.

[Clicking tongue]

Stop it! Stop it!

I'm serious.

I'm not f***ing with you.

[Alex]

sorry, dude, sorry.

I couldn't resist, man.

This is not funny.

What was that sound?

[Alex]

dude, listen.

I saw the light again, man,

about an hour ago.

It went up over the mountain.

I mean, seriously,

we found a ufo.

I don't know, like, i--

I started

to get closer to it,

and, like,

it just moved away.

I don't know--

i don't know wh--

I don't know what it was,

man, but this is--

this is done.

This is over with.

Come on, come on.

We're out of here.

And turn the battery off!

That's our last battery.

-Turn it off.

-All right, all right.

-Turn it off!

-All right!

It is 1:
30 in the morning,

and we're gonna try

to get some sleep.

It's been a long day, and--

and hopefully

you won't see this,

and obviously

you were right.

I need to get

a better class of friend.

[Alex]

I'm a classy guy.

[Grunting, panting]

-Dude, hal, what the f***?

-What?

Are you all right, hal?

-Hal, are you okay?

-I'm fine.

Okay, fine.

Dude, what the f***

was that, man?

[Hal]

okay, okay, listen.

Listen right now.

I think whatever it was--

whoa!

Oh, stay, stay, stay.

-Stay, stay.

-I can't.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

[Sobbing]

He's-- he's gone.

I've been hiding here

for, like, 20 minutes.

Uh...

[Goose]

Morgan?

I know where he is.

I know where he went.

Morgan?

We're way--

in so many ways,

we're alike.

And I love you.

And I know you won't stop

until you find the truth.

This is for you.

I'm not leaving Alex behind.

You better appreciate this.

If I don't make it,

they're in the rocks.

[Goose]

i can't imagine hal

went too far in the time--

the closest rock range

is about two klicks from you.

I'm gonna upload

the coordinates

to your locator.

Set your watch.

-[Watch beeps]

-Got it.

[Goose]

you know, so far

we've had it pretty good.

Not too much interference.

But at the foot of the mountain,

we may not be so lucky.

I still see no reason

why we can't take all this

evidence to the police.

[Morgan]

because they didn't take it

seriously the first time.

There's new information.

They have to reopen

the case, right?

[Morgan]

no.

Why not?

[Morgan]

i don't trust them,

that's why.

Then let's go to the news,

get the footage out there.

Let someone else
