We've identified

his primary carrier protein.

It's definitely not albumin.

The testing shows no deficits

on FNF and HTS testing.

EEG analysis shows complete coherence

and synchronization of brainwave activity...

...between subjects.

There's no response at 20 per kilo.

Let's move to hypertonic saline.

Cut five per kilo.

You have no right to do this.

You're scaring him.

You're scaring him!

Respiratory rate: 12.

Good air entry

but decreased tidal volume on the boy.

Put him on 025 liters by nasal cannula

and draw blood gas in 20 minutes.

Temperature's dropped

from 20 to 17 degrees.

Get a hypothermia blanket

and some rags.

Leave him alone.

Leave him alone. I can take care of him.

DOCTOR 2:

...and set me up for a 2D cardiac echo.

Skin is cool and diaphoretic.

He's not refusing at all.

He needs anatropic support.

PH is down to 7.03.

He's got a metabolic acidosis. It could be sepsis.

DOCTOR 1:

We've drawn two sets of blood cultures.

He needs broad spectrum coverage.

Elliott.

I've been to the forest.

He shouldn't talk now.

Well, he has to talk now, Major.

Elliott, that machine...

...what does it do?

The communicator?

Is it still working?

It's doing something.

What?

I really shouldn't tell.

He came to me.

He came to me.

Elliott, he came to me, too.

I've been wishing for this

since I was 10 years old.

I don't want him to die.

What can we do that we're not already doing?

He needs to go home.

He's calling his people...

...and I don't know where they are.

He needs to go home.

Elliott, I don't think

that he was left here intentionally.

But his being here is a miracle, Elliott.

It's a miracle...

...and you did the best that anybody could do.

I'm glad he met you first.

He's got DNA.

He's got DNA.

DNA?

He doesn't have four nucleotides like

we do. He has six.

I've got de-synchronization

of the two brain wave activities.

E.T.!

The boy's condition is stabilizing.

Blood pressure's back up.

E.T.

Elliott.

FEMALE He's speaking.

He's talking.

E.T...

...stay with me.

Please.

Stay.

Together.

I'll be right here.

I'll be right here.

Stay...

...Elliott.

Stay.

Stay.

Stay.

Stay.

The creature's pressure is bottoming out.

His complexes are slow.

FEMALE How's the boy?

He's converting back to normal sinus rhythm.

They're separating.

Boy and creature are separating.

What does that mean?

Boy's coming back. We're losing E.T.

E.T., answer me, please.

Please.

Just relax.

[Birds chirp]

-No!

-E.T., don't go!

-No blood pressure!

-He's got no pulse or respiration!

We can't get a pulse or blood pressure on the creature.

It doesn't look like he's breathing!

Leave him alone! You're killing him!

Leave him alone!

Let's move it!

Get the boy out of here!

Stop it, you're killing him!

You're killing him!

You're killing him! You're killing him!

You're killing him! He came to me!

Any pulses?

He came to me!

Minimal breath sounds.

Calm down. Calm.

Let's try some bretylium.

Can we have some bretylium?

Getting a pulse?

FEMALE DOCTOR:

Compressed air. Compressed air's fine.

His pupils are fixed and dilated.

Defibrillate him!

Everybody, stand clear.

Clear!

We're losing him.

Quiet!

It's still defib.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

Elliott?

Mom!

Let's continue CPR, please.

Would you people stand back?

Something's happening.

-They're going to die.

-Shut up, Greg.

Something is definitely happening.

Anybody have any ideas?

EKG's flat.

I'm going to call it.

-I think he's dead.

-No. I don't know.

I'm calling it. What time do you have?

Okay.

Let's pack him in ice.

Let's leave.

Is he dead, Mama?

I think so, sweetheart.

Can we wish for him to come back?

Yeah.

I wish.

I wish, too.

Come on, Gert.

We'll wait for Elliott in the front room.

Cardiac arrest was terminated

at 1500 hours and 36 minutes.

He received intravenous lidocaine...

...intravenous epinephrine, a lidocaine drip...

...2.7 percent sodium-chloride solution...

...catheters from the ''A'' line.

The intravenous line should be sent for culture.

He was monitored with a...

...EEG and an EKG, he was defibrillated....

They're going to have to take him away now.

They'll just cut him all up.

Would you like

to spend some time alone with him?

Could we all step out for a minute,

please?

Look at what they've done to you.

I'm so sorry.

You must be dead...

...because...

...I don't know how to feel.

I can't feel anything anymore.

You've gone someplace else now.

I'll believe in you all my life.

Every day.

E.T...

...I love you.

[E.T. theme music escalates]

Oh, my God.

E.T. phone home.

Phone home.

Phone home.

Does this mean they're coming?

Yes.

E.T. phone home. E.T. phone home.

Stay.

Shut up.

Phone.

-Phone home.

-Quiet!

Phone! Phone!

Would you shut up?

Phone home. E.T. phone home.

E.T. phone home.

Phone home.

Phone home.

Elliott.

Stay.

Stay.

Elliott, why don't you come with me?

No.

No.

It's all right.

Would you like the flowers?

He's alive! He's alive!

He's glowing right here.

Are they gone, Mama?

-Who's gone, honey?

-The boys.

What boys?

I'm supposed to give you

this note when they're gone.

Give it to me now, Gertie.

Oh, my God.

Give me a hand with this.

-Where's your mask?

-Back here.

Well, get it on!

I'm trying!

Who are you?

I'm driving.

Open the door, son.

-There's a guy out here. What do I do?

-What are you waiting for? Let's go!

Let's get out of here!

I've never driven forward before!

Tires screech]

Get the bikes. Meet us at the playground

at the top of the hill.

Let's do it!

Come on, Michael!

We'll all die, and they'll never give me my license.

Where's the playground?

It's near the preschool!

-Where's that?

-I don't know streets!

Mom always drives me!

Son of a b*tch.

-Where are you going?

-To the spaceship.

To the spaceship to the moon.

Quiet!

Oh, my God.

Stop the van!

Don't pull them off!

Goddamn it!

Okay. He's a man from outer space,

and we're taking him to his spaceship.

Well, can't he just beam up?

This is reality, Greg.

Keep her back!

No!

Hold her back!

No!

Where are they?

There's nobody here.

Where are we going?

To the forest!

Police car sirens wail]

Follow me!

Dramatic instrumental music]

We got them at the bottom of the hill.

This is Unit 302.

We've cut the kids off at the bottom of the hill.

Let's split up.

Okay!

Hang on!

We made it! Oh, sh*t!
