around him, and lights.

How would you feel if you

were born into a world

that looked at you and wanted you dead?

Please.

Please.

See?

It's crying.

See?

He's just a baby.

He's just scared.

Now there must be someplace

on Earth, Your Honor,

where he can live, and

where they won't hurt him,

and where he won't have to hurt them.

Take him, Stephen.

Take your son.

Put your guns away.

Holster those guns.

Mr. Jarvis, you're to retire

to the security block

with your child.

Counselors, I'll see

you both in my chambers.

I won't have anything

happen to that child.

Good evening, good evening.

And welcome to open-mic

night at the boat house

in Cape Vale, Florida.

Absolutely, there's no

other place you could be.

Hey, just walking into the club, sir?

Very nice suit.

You got an act with that suit, sir?

Ellen?

How you been?

What did you do, hire a detective?

No, your mother told me where you were.

Is that all?

Thank you.

I should've known.

I can't talk now.

When do you get off?

We can talk then.

Stephen, I'm very happy working here.

The kids don't hit on me

and I'm getting good pay

and nobody knows who I am.

Well, of course not.

They didn't take many pictures of you.

They didn't need me.

They had you, the great actor.

Now you're getting a lead

role after all those walk-ons.

Leave me alone.

Please, you know, it wasn't just us.

There were others.

Why do you, why do you think

it only happened to us?

It didn't just happen to us.

Same thing could've happened again.

There haven't been any in two months.

The experts say there won't be any.

Experts. How can anybody be an

expert on something they

know nothing about?

Stephen, I have a guy.

He's an older man, he's a friend.

He's very nice.

And he doesn't know anything about it.

Would you risk having a child with him?

We can't have any more children.

How did that happen?

I had it done.

You...

Sure don't take any chances, do you?

It's better like this, you know.

You, you could never forget.

You could never leave it alone.

It was the big event of your life.

Hey, come on now, Ellen.

What, are you trying to hurt me?

It's easy, go ahead.

Hurt you? I still have nightmares.

I can't bear the thought of him.

I can't bear the thought

of what might have been.

I thought I was gonna have

such a beautiful baby.

Anyway, he's alive somewhere

Because of you, Stephen.

You should be proud.

Are you proud?

I'm lonely.

Is he bugging you, Ellen?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Enjoy the show, buddy.

Ellen, would the marriage

have lasted if the kid

hadn't been that way?

I guess not.

I guess whatever we had for

each other just wasn't enough.

Ordering a whiskey sour, a vodka tonic,

a Virgin Mary straight up.

This is my best joke in the

world, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you very much, thank you.

Here, Chico.

This whole pier is getting to

be a meat market, isn't it?

Kids think they own this town.

They're okay.

How about a little

adult companionship, huh?

No, thanks.

Got a place right around the corner.

And I got some, some great

videotapes you might like.

You know, grown-up stuff.

Not tonight.

And I get the Disney channel.

Okay, you don't know what you're missing.

On the house.

You've got a great arm.

Yeah?

Thanks.

Wait 'til you see the rest of me.

Hey, Mister.

Thanks.

Is this for me?

Yeah.

Take it easy.

I'm not charging you by the hour.

Oh, you got a weekly rate?

Say, when was the last time

you made love to a woman, huh?

It shows, huh?

God, you're like a high-school kid.

I was good as a high-school kid.

Yeah?

And it's been about that long.

Since this is a such a

big night in your life,

let's make it very special.

You have great skin.

You really do.

Hey, wait a minute.

You know, I think I've

made love to you before.

No, I...

You'd have remembered if

you'd made love to me.

You look awfully familiar.

Hey, what's the matter?

Did I do something to turn you off?

No, no.

It's all right.

You know, guys talk to me.

It does them good.

I got to catch a flight.

Why is it whenever I meet the nice ones,

they're always in a hurry?

Why don't you stick around a while?

I could make you a couple of

eggs and some coffee, and...

No, thanks.

You know, I can't get

over the feeling I've

seen you somewhere before.

Do you come up to Cape Vale much?

No, I've never been here before.

Hmm.

Well, what do you do?

I was an actor.

Nothing big, mainly commercials.

I believe it.

You're good enough looking to be on TV.

Thanks.

Hey, you know who you look like?

Now, don't get mad, but

that guy on the news

who went to court over his baby.

You know that awful

thing about the monsters?

People think I'm ignorant,

but I got cable news

on all the time, and

that guy, he could have

been a brother to you.

God, he looks so much like you.

That's who I am.

No.

I'm Stephen Jarvis in person.

Oh, sh*t.

Sally--

I really know how to pick 'em.

Don't be worried--

Let me go, get your hands off of me.

I'm healthy, they've run tests on me--

Leave me alone. Get your hands off of me!

It's not catching.

How do you know?

How does anybody know?

You know, you should

tell people who you are

before you put your hands on 'em.

You should let a woman

know who you are before

you try and make love to her.

I don't want your dirty,

filthy money, either.

Just get out of here.

Go on, get out.

You're a freak.

Ugh!

You're sick and you make me sick, too.

Get out, you freak!

You're sick!

Oh God, he touched me.

Your Honor, may I interject?

No, you may not.

The five children already

in captivity will have

no harm done to them.

Instead, I am recommending

that a commission be formed

for the sole purpose of

locating some isolated spot

where they can be left and

allowed to develop in their

own COUFSG.

I can see no way that these

beings can be compatible

in our society.

However, I think my colleagues

in the Supreme Court

will recognize that we have

no right to destroy them.

But we can quarantine them.

I'm going to appeal this, of course.

Be my guest.

But no harm will come to these children

as long as I'm alive.

Uh-huh.

If I may ask, where

exactly do you plan to put

these things where they

won't harm anybody?

Where no human being has ever lived.

I don't know where they've

been taken, but I put

my trust in Judge Watson.

Then you're not even

going to try to find out

what happened to your child?

Well, the parents and

I on the committee have

talked about it, we think

it's best to just let it pass.

Are you aware, Mr.

Jarvis, that there's a lot

of speculation that they

might be up in Alaska

or Newfoundland at some sort

of a government installation?

I don't know about that,

but I do think they ought

to find out the cause.

Make sure it never happens again.

Yes, let's hope it never happens again.

When we return, we'll be

accepting your telephone

calls for Mr. Jarvis, the

spokesman for the Parents' Group.
