But the urgency of our trip has not decreased.

Look don't worry, I'll get you

to where you need to go.

You've earned it.

We're here Jack Bruno.

Here?

There's nothing here.

Somebody's expecting you two right?

Doesn't look like anyone's home.

Don't worry Jack Bruno, we'll

soon be reunited with relatives.

Okay...

$720.50...

But after everything that went down today,

how about I knock off 25%and I also...

- Here

Okay then.

Goodbye to you too.

Hey!

You guys overpaid!

By a lot!

Unbelievable.

Everything okay in there?

Hello?

What just happened?

Jack Bruno you should not have

jeopardized your life by following us.

What sort of trouble are you two in?

I suggest you return back to your vehicle.

Your services are no longer required.

- Seth he's just trying to help.

- We don't need his help.

Somebody's already been here looking for it.

We simply cannot trust any of them.

Just us, Sara.

We appreciate your efforts

to assist us Jack Bruno.

But my brother is right.

We can involve you no further.

Got it! Let's go!

Hey just tell me what's-

Hurry up Sara.

What is that?

Hey!

Don't go in the pimped out fridge, Jack.

Hey!

What is this place?

This way.

Hey hey, hey!

Sara, it's here!

What a- What is it?

It is what we came for Jack Bruno!

Really?

Is anyone else lookin' for it?

Say, is the person that trashed

everything up stairs?

We think so.

It is very valuable.

Which is why it was vital

that we locate it first.

What makes you so sure that whoever

else wanted it, isn't still looking for it?

Go... go!

Run, run, run!

Jack Bruno!

Kids!

Go, go go... Sara!

Jack Bruno!

Seth!

We gotta go!

Seth!

Keep moving!

Go go!

Sara lets go!

Get in!

Hey how's your brother doing?

- His system has the ability...

- I will be fine.

It is important we gain much

distance from this location.

Well, I'm happy you're feeling better.

Because you're gonna need your

strength when you explain to me,

Just what happened back there!

Alright here's the deal.

The cab doesn't move until you're mouths do.

So start talking.

The information you are seeking is not

within your grasp of understanding.

We are dealing with issues

outside the realm of...

your world.

Hey I'm a cab driver okay?

I have had plenty of worldly experien-

...experiences.

Sara! We have to go!

What is it?

Hang on!

Hold on!

We can't let him destroy it Sara.

Who is 'he'?

And this time I need real answers.

- It's a Siphon.

- A what?

He's an assassin trained to pursue his

target until his mission is completed.

And his mission is...

Us.

Is there a safer route, Jack Bruno?

Not unless you know how to fly.

Jack Bruno!

Come on come on, hold it together!

Oh come on!

Faster, faster!

It won't go any faster!

Sara!

Hold on!

Watch out!

Jack Bruno...

In and outta juve and state penns since he

was a kid, grew up poor in Midland, Texas.

Showed promise cutting his teeth driving

demolition derby and dirt track...

Ironically at the age of 16,

his parents died in a car wreck.

At 17 he ran away

from his foster home.

And he headed to Las Vegas in hopes

of going from Stock car to NASCAR.

Instead he found work as a wheel man

for Andrew Wolf, the Vegas crime boss.

His last bust was two years ago,

Grand Theft Auto...

he got out went legit and... uh.

he's been driving a cab ever since.

We spoke to Jack Bruno's boss

at Yellow Cab...

Bruno took a fare of significant

distance outta the city.

Dispatcher claims he's been unable to

obtain radio contact for several hours.

Does the cab

have a tracking device?

LOJAC.

Until it stopped

transmitting 20 minutes ago.

For some crazy reason,

last location was on train tracks.

No, we cannot trust him.

I know we can't.

We must.

Couple of kids,

big wad of cash.

What could go wrong!

We know you're frustrated,

Jack Bruno.

No, no more Jack Bruno this,

Jack Bruno that.

- I've been asking for answers...

- You already know the answers, Jack Bruno.

My brother and I,

are indeed not from your planet.

That's it...

So, that's it?

Mystery solved!

You two want me to believe

that you're both aliens?

It is the truth.

Really?

Well, you don't look like aliens.

Well, what's an alien

look like, Jack Bruno?

You know what aliens look like!

They look like, little...

like, little green people,

with antennas and laser guns!

And "take me to your leader,

earthlings!"

He requires some sort of proof.

He thinks we're insulting

his intelligence.

You think?

You can't just drop the, "we're aliens!"

bomb just like that, on somebody,

Now, I know I've seen some

pretty weird things today...

but you can't expect me

to believe that...

I have the ability to move

objects with my mind.

That's impossible.

No it's quite possible.

On our planet as well as yours.

You don't do it because you haven't

learned to use your full brain capacity.

No, I don't do it

because it's kinda creepy.

And I really

would like you to stop.

Jack Bruno!

Come on!

Come on, come on!

The freight engineer is banged up, but alive.

Last thing he saw in the tunnel was

our taxi, and a set of flying lights.

He figured it must've been a small plane.

Small plane?

Whoa, whoa, whoa... you guys think that

there's a chance that there is a second ship?

You have the ability to fly at the speed

of light, yet you used a beat up cab?

I don't think so.

Secure the site.

Catalog every piece of debris.

I want to know what's train,

what's cab, and what's left.

Hello?

Anyone here?

We're closed!

Oh, there you are.

Yeah, I know you're closed, but, uh, we've

experienced a little bit of car trouble...

- so, I was hoping that maybe...

- We're still closed.

You should've experienced you

car trouble when we were open.

Well, I'll work on that

next time.

- This time, I really need you to...

- Jack Bruno...

The only thing that will convince

Eddie Cortez to reopen for business...

would be a significant

amount of money.

Wait a minute.

Do I know you?

No, absolutely not, you don't

know them from anywhere.

I'll pay you double your rate.

- Why not triple?

- Done!

Really?

What'd you get in a fight

with a Rhinocerus?

Poor Rhino.

Poor Rhino, I know!

I don't even know where

to start with this baby.

Well, where you can start is replacing

the front shocks, and the tie rods,

and patch up the radiator fix the

exhaust and if you have 4 tires,

I'll take those too...

you got one hour.

Over here...

come on, sit, sit.

Sit down.

I hope you do not act upon your

thought of making a fast break...

out of the back door of Ray's,

escaping the Stoney Creek.

Never to look back at us again.

H... how...

how do you know that?

My sister also has

the gift of telepathy.

She can read the minds

of those nearest to her.

Really? Well, you tell

your sister that here on Earth,

reading minds?

Very rude.

Don't do that.

Guys!

Welcome to Ray's!

My name is Tina

and I'm gonna be your server.

Wow, look at the two of you.

Ah... what'd you mean
