Monsieur Neary...

...what do you want?

I just want to know that

it's really happening.

I went up in the air,

and I saw our house.

I saw you going up in the air.

Did you see me running after you?

All right, now we have to talk.

He wants to speak about

Mr. Neary's case.

Swensen, Matthew Daniel...

...reported missing April 1976.

Wait a second, wait.

He says these are ordinary people

under extraordinary circumstances.

Goodbye.

Monsieur Neary...

...I envy you.

I'm told we can count on your

complete cooperation.

-What's your blood type?

-I don't know.

-What's your birth date?

-December 4th, 1 944.

Have you been inoculated against

smallpox, diphtheria?

Is there any liver disease

in your family?

May the Lord be praised at all times.

May God help us and grant us

a happy journey.

Show us Your ways.

And lead us along Your paths.

God has given you

His angels charge over you.

Grant these pilgrims, we pray,

a happy journey...

...and peaceful days, so that with

Your holy angel as a guide...

...they may safely reach their

destination....

Bye!
