Race To Witch Mountain Page #4

been inside a crop circle?

I have!

It was huge!

It's where the mothership landed,

where they took me on board...

where I was married

to an alien woman.

That's it, I will not answer

anymore questions... uh, about...

alien abductions, crop circles,

or Dr. Harlan, is that clear?

If we could just get back

to the matter at hand.

People! Hello?

I promise it'll be worth it,

the blue nebula!

We got a hit on Bruno's

license plate.

They're back in Vegas.

The cattle mutilation lecture

doesn't start for another hour...

but... grab a seat,

it's supposed to be packed.

It always is.

We're hear to see you, actually.

Jack Bruno, we met earlier.

We did?

Cab?

Airport to hotel?

Driver?

Oh, the non believer.

What are the odds.

Hey is there some place

we can talk?

The crowds in here

making you uncomfortable?

Even more private than this.

Look, no offense

but I'm pretty...

She's doubting her thesis

on Gliese 581...

and Alcubierre's Warp Drive.

How did you know that?

Oh, it gets a lot better.

Trust me.

Are you insane?

I just thought you of all people

would understand and wanna help!

Why, because I'm the nut job

speaking at the UFO convention?

Don't answer that.

- I know it sounds really crazy.

- You think?

Hey, please don't touch that.

You captured an image of our ship.

The smudge?

You're telling me you think

the smudge is your space ship.

No, we don't think

it's our space ship.

We know it is our space ship.

That's it, I'm out.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I'll just grab my laptop and...

Oh, they can also do,

all this stuff too.

Who are you?

Show her.

This is huge!

I have some questions!

Even though you are the answers

here standing right in front of me.

I'm sorry.

Very excited.

Right.

But where are you from?

Our planet is located some

But space travel

of such sizable distance...

is possible using a paradoxical

passage in the unbound...

Wormholes!

That's it!

My presentation at City

National convention was right!

Interstellar travel is possible using

worm holes as a shortcut through space!

That was my first guess

as well, the... wormholes.

Continue doctor.

Why did you come to Earth?

Our planet is dying.

Milennia of neglect has rendered

our atmosphere unbreathable.

That sounds familiar.

Our parents are scientists who have

studied Earth's changing climates...

in hopes of finding a solution

for our planet's future.

As our people's fears began

to rise and then our parent's...

discovered something our leaders

were very interested in.

Your planet makes a suitable

living environment for our kind.

It would be simplest to abandon

our dying planet and occupy yours.

Okay so wait, I'm helping

you conquer my own planet?

No!

Most of the people on our planet

are fiercely opposed to this plan.

But fear of extinction

triumphed among our people.

But then our parent's

discovered a solution.

An experiment at an outpost here was

successful in regenerating life...

into all previous

dying plants and trees.

Which would enable the re-oxygenating

of your poisoned atmosphere.

Alright, so...

what's the problem?

Our military.

They prefer the solution

of invasion over science.

Which is why we had to hurry

and retrieve the experiment.

All proof that our planet can be saved

and your planet spared is in here.

Where are your parents again?

They were arrested

for their opposition.

We agreed to complete

the task for them.

And what about the assassin?

Assassin?

What assassin?

The Siphon warrior series Duranian

They're bred to hunt?

They're bred to kill...

If we don't return back home in

time, the invasion will proceed.

We seriously need to find

your space ship.

So, how well

do you know this guy?

Oh, we've done a few panels and

debates together on opposite sides.

No one knows the shadow world of UFO

government conspiracies better than Harlan.

Not now Whitley.

Well hello, Dr. Friedman.

So, you finally decided to accept my offer

of a romantic Benihana dinner for two.

Huzzah!

What?

Three... three years ago.

A screening of the cooper footage?

You were in the 4th row

Sorry I keep my work and social life

seperate, I don't date... colleagues.

Colleagues! Indeed...

Listen, we need to see

Harlan right away.

Doctor Harlan is presently

unavailable for consultations.

We're more than qualified

to answer any...

There is no time for that,

it's a matter of life and death...

that we see Harlan, now!

Life and death, ooh!

Ooh, what... scary drama queen...

theatrics.

Yeah, the 411, sitch...

You're currently alive.

Unless you take us to Harlan,

you'll be dead.

- Okay, yeah... together if you want...

- Yeah let's go... together right now!

Go away!

The book signing's not 'till 4:30,

read the brochure!

Harlan, it's Alex Friedman.

Dr. Alex Friedman.

Kel-suprise!

We have to speak with you immediately

it is incredibly important.

So, you're saying the three of you

witnessed this reported UFO crash.

That's right.

We were wondering if there were any

intel out there amongst your sources.

I hate lying.

I really don't like lying.

I can tell when people

are lying to me.

But thankfully your story checks out

with all the reports...

I got from SEDI

and NORAD and NASA.

We have reason to believe a team

of government sponsored...

covert operatives

recovered the space craft.

Okay, back up a little,

this is not space camp.

Let the experts do their work.

You know, you're very lucky

you two, that you didn't come...

face to face with the aliens

who were in that craft.

They're like deadly praying

mantis's they eat your flesh.

Oh, oh yes, we are indeed lucky kids,

not to have had our flesh eaten,

by the aliens.

You got that right,

okay let's go to work here,

I got an email from a source

that sent me this SAT grab...

Where would they take

the space ship?

Wright-Patterson? Vandenburg?

Well, from the size and scope of the crash,

I would say there is only one possibility.

- Witch Mountain!

- Witch Mountain!...

What are we...

a singing group here?

- Let me talk, and you guys nod!

- I apologize, I'm sorry.

Witch Mountain, let's take

a look here we go California.

About 50 miles

from the border of Nevada.

And its one of our...

top secret facilities.

They got a schematic

here some place.

You know if you're planning

on visiting, don't.

When I say this place is fortified up the

ying yang, I'm making an understatement.

Here's the schematic.

- And, do you have the book?

- Yes, I do.

Alright then,

here's an aerial view.

Thank you, Harlan.

For everything.

Whatever trouble you're in.

Trust no one.

Thank you.

Both of you.

Seth and I understand that you

don't have to go forward with us.

And yet you choose to.

You're welcome.

And don't worry,

we're gonna get you home.

Promise.

I'm gonna go grab my stuff,

let's meet upstairs...

in the convention at my booth,

then we get your cab.

Alex... huh, listen...

I can't let you come with us.
