look at the two of them?

They look like just two regular,

innocent.. uh, all American kids.

Well, it looked like they just

rolled around in a pig pen...

right before dinner, that's all.

- Evening, Tina!

- Sheriff Anthony!

Your tables waitin' for you.

I'm gonna send you

a round of freedom pies huh?

- Sounds good.

- Thank you.

Alright.

Now, why don't the 2 of you come with me

and we'll get you all cleaned up, huh?

Hurry back.

It's Jack!

I've been trying you all night!

Where are you?

Drop that fare yet?

No, not yet, it's... it's really,

real complicated right now.

Un-complicate it.

I want my cab back.

- Spotless.

- Yeah, I... yeah...

Dominick, I gotta go.

Ja... Jack!

Got 'em, Stony Creek.

Okay, get us a transport. I want

a clean extraction in 20 minutes.

You know, I think it would be...

Best for everyone if Seth

and I found another ride?

Seriously,

you gotta stop doing that.

Jack Bruno, it is understandable

that you are scared...

and confused considering all

that has occurred today.

I'm not scared.

Just... a little confused.

But... but the bottom line is,

you guys need someone from...

from... from NASA, or...

or the Air Force, not me.

If you abandon us now, our mission

will be in serious jeopardy.

Hey look, I'm just trying

to be honest here, okay?

I'm the wrong guy.

A wise human once said,

"You are what you think you are".

Yeah, well, why don't you

find that guy and ask him.

It was the Buddha.

He's unavailable.

How is it, that beings

on your planet...

can be so large in form...

yet feel so small inside.

Maybe you need help too,

Jack Bruno.

Dominick I told you...

Are they safe Jack?

Who is this?

My name is Henry Burke.

I work within

the Department of Defense.

I handle their more

sensitive cases.

What'd you mean sensitive?

I suspect we both know

the answer to that question.

Look they're just kids.

They don't want

any trouble and neither do I.

Good, then we're all

on the same page.

Trouble is the last thing

I want as well.

But what I do want, and I'm

counting on you to help me here...

are your two passengers.

What're you gonna do with them?

Do you care this much about

everyone that get's into your cab?

You're a convincted felon, Jack.

Spent most of the day breaking

one law after another, for what?

For them?

What do you want me to do?

Don't make a scene.

You walked them into Ray's...

you can walk them out.

I'll take it from there.

And to show my appreciation for your

trouble, I'll wipe your slate clean.

Just walk away huh?

No harm, no foul?

That's right just walk away.

You've got 5 minutes Jack,

then it's all over.

See ya then.

I don't trust him.

Cover all the exits.

They're here for us, aren't they?

Yeah, they are.

I knew we couldn't trust him Sara.

Excuse me Sheriff?

- It's too late, we have to run.

Wait!

I was just wondering what your town's

policy is regarding concealed firearms?

Excuse me?

There's a whole lotta guns

coming in right now.

You're making a big mistake Sheriff.

I'll take my chances.

Dude I told you I should have a gun.

Now might not be the best time

to bring that up... dude.

This is not good.

Shh!

Follow me.

Up there.

Okay.

Thank you.

Good luck.

You have no idea

who you're dealing with.

There's a lock on the outside,

we gotta find another...

Hey! Hey!

Or we could do that.

Whatever that is.

My brother has the ability

to control his molecular density.

Which allows him to phase

through solid objects...

or withstand

greatest of impacts.

That's neat, real neat.

Well, you got some mighty big friends,

in some mighty big places.

You check out.

Hi, little fella!

We appreciate

your understanding.

Let's go.

Got an open hatch

leadin' to the roof.

We're on our way.

Hey times up we gotta go.

Go? Mister I still got

a lotta work to do.

Next time we're in town,

we'll make an appointment.

Want my card?

- No

Taxi is on the move, I want every

possible escape route locked down.

I want that cab,

and everyone in it!

There's too many of them to outrun!

Whatever you're doing,

keep doing it.

Say goodbye to Stony Creek.

No no no no!

Not now, not now come on!

Sara... Sara!

Are you doing this?

Sara, I said-

Oh absolutely not!

This Junkyard,

is not going with us!

I am done picking up

stray passengers!

Those guys who were chasing us, were

the same ones from the highway right?

Yes.

It is vital that you take us

to their base of operation.

You want me to take you to the

guys who are trying to kill you?

Let me explain to you how we

do things here, on Earth.

People who want you dead,

you avoid.

That way you...

...stay alive.

Make sense?

No one on your planet will stay alive,

if we do not return to our planet.

In order to return,

we need our ship.

Those men who are trying to kill us,

have stolen our ship.

Make sense?

Where do you suggest

we begin our search?

I don't suggest

we begin searching at all.

I do suggest we head back to Vegas, and

drop you off right where you got on.

You too.

It's just as I thought.

No human is going to help us, Sara.

Especially not, this human.

Hey! Easy on the human bashing, okay?

Some of my best friends

just happen to be human.

And even if I were to help you

I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I don't know anything about,

about UFO's or aliens...

Who is Dr. Alex Friedman?

She's actually somebody

who can help.

And for the record,

she happens to be human.

No sign of the taxi from anyone yet.

Extend the search.

They're out there.

Sara.

He would appreciate you pulling over

so that he can relieve himself.

Well we don't have time for that.

He should've went

before we left Stony Creek.

He isn't pleased with your attitude.

Really? Is that the way he feels?

Well you remind him,

that I'm a man... and he's a dog!

And I'm not about to have this,

or any conversation with a dog.

So my answer is still, no.

Junkyard says thank you.

Did he now?

Is there anything else he wants?

He said he would love a bone,

or a meaty treat?

Top of my to-do list,

just get in.

Hey!

I need you to keep the cab close

and get the dog some water.

Give him a meaty treat.

Okay, stay close to me

and don't talk to anyone.

Nice and normal.

I'm tellin' you

he walked right past me.

Bad move.

This was captured by a far imaging

telescope at the University of Bahn.

Less than 48 hours ago.

What I want to direct

your attention to, is this.

That looks like a smudge!

Yes!

Yes it does!

Was it a space ship?

- Did they abduct you?

- Excuse me?

The aliens that abducted you,

were they the Grays?

Or the lizard people.

What? No,

I wasn't abducted by anyone.

How do you know?

Dr. Harlan's last book was all about

how the aliens could erase your memory.

With probes.

Donald Harlan's book?

You may have been probed.

It's pure science fiction.

People I am talking about

science fact, here.

Hard, hard data,

not crop circles.

Hey, you ever actually
