00:07You
00:38Oh, my God.
01:05Oh, my God.
01:49Oh, my God.
01:57It's strange.
01:59I don't think I've ever felt this complete.
02:06It's as if my whole life has been leading up to this moment.
02:10And even though I'm a month overdue, there is no feeling of stress.
02:17It's as if everything is perfectly in schedule.
02:20It's as if everything is perfectly in the middle of the day.
02:21It's as if everything is perfectly in the middle of the day.
02:37It's as if everything is perfectly in the middle of the day.
02:39I drift off.
03:02I saw him in my dream.
03:04How do you look?
03:08Just like his mother.
03:11You know, we really need to decide on a name.
03:14There's no hurry.
03:16We'll have plenty of time when we're in California.
03:20California?
03:24I have no idea where that came from.
03:34And the pulse rate, hmm.
03:37She has a normal hormone count and a lower pH.
03:41But the 10-month term doesn't appear to be causing any stress to either her or the child.
03:45Is she able to travel?
03:47I wouldn't advise it.
03:48That is not the question I asked you, Ellingham.
03:52As of this morning, yes.
03:55You're planning to take her to see Merrick in California?
03:58When did she draw this?
03:59Yesterday.
04:00She's been drawing it all weeks, as it's something she sees in her head.
04:05And in the best opinion of your people...
04:07Oh, it's pure Watson and Crick.
04:09There's no mistaking it.
04:11That's the drawing of a DNA double helix.
04:42I'm recording this because we may not live through the night.
04:46They're here, they're hostile, and powerful people don't want you to know.
04:51History as we know it is alive.
04:55History as we know it is.
04:56History as we know it is.
04:59History as we know it is.
05:03History as we know it is.
05:07History as we know it is.
05:09History as we know it is.
05:11History as we know it is.
05:12History as we know it is.
05:13History as we know it is.
05:14History as we know it is.
05:14History as we know it is.
05:14History as we know it is.
05:14History as we know it is.
05:14History as we know it is.
05:15History as we know it is.
05:19History as we know it is.
05:26It had been ten months since we had captured the living gray.
05:30Ten months since it told Kim she was pregnant
05:33and started a strange telepathic communication with her
05:37while remaining in its coma.
05:39It spoke in images, in ellipses difficult to understand.
05:44Maybe it was the coma or the cerebral eviction,
05:47but sometimes the gray made no sense at all.
05:51By August of 1965, the alien had stopped communicating entirely.
05:56It was as motionless as the dead gray that Bach kept in the freezer down the hall.
06:01No one knew why, and it upset Kim.
06:05She felt that the alien was withholding something from her,
06:08something about our baby.
06:12This has nothing to do with Majestic.
06:14Where we have the child should be our decision and our decision alone.
06:17You said yourself Kim was talking about California.
06:20Frank, that came to her out of thin air.
06:22It was a thought. It had nothing to do with reality.
06:23The reality, John, is that this is an unusual pregnancy
06:26of an abductee who also happens to be able to communicate with an alien.
06:30What are you suggesting?
06:30There could be genetic abnormalities.
06:32From what, Halligan?
06:34What are you saying? It's not my baby?
06:35No.
06:37Look, what we're talking about is the fact that at one point,
06:40Kim had a ganglion in her head.
06:42Now, it could have affected her body chemistry, her genetic makeup.
06:45Look, John, Mark Merrick is the best of the best.
06:49If anything out of the ordinary were to occur at the birth,
06:52he and his team are equipped to handle it.
06:54This is the safest thing, John, the best for everyone involved.
07:00I don't know.
07:02Kim said this is the first time in two years
07:04that she feels like she has any roots.
07:07First time she ever really felt normal.
07:13When you plan to debrief her?
07:16When we get to California,
07:18our flight leaves in 50 minutes.
07:22There he is.
07:25There he is!
07:50No, no, I had, I had two, maybe three screwdrivers.
07:54But I'm not drunk, officer.
07:55See, see, check it out.
07:57Can I get that?
07:58Come on, man, come on.
08:00Real comedian, aren't you?
08:02I got a 502 on Avalon and 118th.
08:06I need a car to take him in.
08:08Oh, come on, officer.
08:09You're not gonna arrest me.
08:27Oh, come on.
08:31Oh, my God.
09:01Oh, my God.
09:13She's here.
09:16Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
09:21Dr. Cregey, to admitting, please.
09:24Dr. Cregey, please come to admitting.
09:34The main thing to do tonight is sleep.
09:36I want you to be fully rested when we start the testing tomorrow morning.
09:41What kinds of tests?
09:43A couple of sonograms, a fetal stress series.
09:45We'll also take some amniotic fluid and start gene testing.
09:49For what?
09:53We'll be looking for certain markers we've related to the pregnancies of other abductees.
09:57So how many of these abductees have you studied?
10:0047 in five years.
10:01It's Dr. Merrick's specialty.
10:07You're violating these bad sites.
10:09I'm away from the cops.
10:11You whiteys come down here and think you can do anything.
10:13Well, you can't.
10:15Get out of here.
10:18All right, get out, get out.
10:21Back up.
10:21Back up.
10:22Go, go, get out of here.
10:26We've got to get the hell out.
10:28Go, go, go, go.
10:30Go on, go.
10:32Hey, come on, let me go.
10:34Are you right?
10:35Are you right?
10:36Are you right?
10:37Are you right?
10:51Fire out there.
10:53A couple miles away.
10:56How much haven't they told us?
11:08He's gonna be all right, isn't he?
11:14Ray.
11:17I like Ray.
11:20Ray's gonna be just fine.
11:25Can't mess with you as his mother.
11:44I think I'm gonna get something to eat.
11:45Is she asleep?
11:46No, she's just reading.
11:48All right.
12:18Let's go.
12:19Let's go!
12:20Give me some help!
12:23Let's go!
12:24What a joke!
12:34The cafeteria
12:35is two floors down in the E-Wing.
12:38Of course, the food's not much better.
12:51Where you from?
12:53Washington.
12:54The Maxwells fly you all the way out?
12:56That's what I call the secret agent men.
12:59They're all Maxwell smarts.
13:02My wife, she, uh, she's afraid of them, but, uh...
13:06I'm not.
13:10You in Dr. Merrick's program?
13:12Oh, yeah.
13:14Been, uh, testing Ruby, oh, about a...
13:17about a week now.
13:19Says she'd do any day.
13:22George Thomas.
13:25John.
13:30Is she first?
13:34Us two.
13:38I guess we ought to be worried.
13:41But, uh...
13:42Ruby and me, we look on it as a...
13:45as a miracle.
13:47You see, before she had her missing time,
13:52doctors always told us she'd never,
13:54never be able to have children.
14:02just checking.
14:09Still driving her crazy?
14:11I just wish I knew what it meant.
14:13No, it'll come to you.
14:15This is inevitable as your baby.
14:19He's kicking.
14:22Yeah.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Yeah.
14:24Come on.
14:24You have to.
14:25Come on.
14:35He's strong.
14:36Oh, man.
14:39What?
14:46I envy you.
14:53What is it?
14:56Something outside.
15:06There's a fire.
15:09First footage we have of the scene.
15:11As you can see, the situation is completely out of control.
15:14We're just on the phone with Supervisor Kenneth Hahn,
15:17who was on the scene a half an hour ago.
15:19Where is that?
15:21Watts.
15:23White cops stopped a colored man from drunk driving.
15:28Things just got out of here.
15:31It's so senseless.
15:34You think so?
15:38I'll tell you, man.
15:42There's a lot of anger out there.
15:46Just waiting for a chance.
15:49Bottled up frustration.
15:51Just looking to get out.
15:57Did I tell you what you're having?
16:00A boy.
16:04We're getting a girl.
16:07And I want the best for her, you know?
16:10A world where she has the same opportunities as your son.
16:16You don't think she will?
16:19You see those flames?
16:32That's my neighborhood.
16:37That's when my baby girl's gonna grow up.
16:50That's when my baby girl's gonna grow up.
16:50Somebody get down here now.
16:52It's trying to get out.
16:56Oh, my God.
17:01Police chocko.
17:05There's a light.
17:07They're coming for him.
17:15What the hell is that?
17:17Kim.
17:25Kim!
17:26What's going on?
17:26Help me with this door.
17:29Kim!
17:31You can't help him.
17:33Get him!
17:34Yeah, he didn't.
17:36You can't help him!
17:39AHHHHH!
17:43HIGH!
17:44HIGH!
17:45HIGH!
17:46HIGH!
17:46HIGH!
17:47HIGH!
17:48HIGH!
17:49HIGH!
17:50HIGH!
17:51HIGH!
17:51HIGH!
17:51HIGH! HIGH!
18:09We're locked down in C-Sector.
18:11Any changes?
18:12He's completely destroyed the lab.
18:13Does Frank know?
18:14We're trying to locate him now.
18:17Should have stayed in Washington.
18:19It's my fault.
18:19When I saw the light, I should have pulled her out of the room.
18:21She would have been safe and majestic.
18:22But you wanted to live in your little Georgetown apartment,
18:24pretend everything was normal.
18:25What's he doing in here?
18:26He's odd.
18:28Mr. Thomas, you're now in protective custody.
18:30Mr. Clemente here will debrief you.
18:33Let's go.
18:36Truth is, John, I can't say she'd have been safe anywhere.
18:39We've got to get her back, Frank.
18:40We've got to find her first.
18:45Bach.
18:46Frank, it's out.
18:47When?
18:48About 30 minutes ago.
18:49Has he tried to communicate?
18:51No, all he's done is destroy the lab.
18:53We think he's hiding in one of the corners now.
18:55Order the EBE team in.
18:56They're already on their way.
18:57Just keep him in the room and keep him calm.
18:59Right.
19:00Nobody does anything until I get there.
19:01You got that?
19:02What's your grade?
19:03About six hours.
19:04Yeah, we've had a little social unrest out here,
19:06if you haven't been watching the news.
19:07Kim might know where she is.
19:09Hold on a minute.
19:11The only person it tried to communicate with was Kim.
19:14She's been in a coma, Frank.
19:15They took her away, John.
19:16She could be on the other side of the moon by now.
19:17Damn it, Frank.
19:18I'm talking about Kim here.
19:19My baby.
19:20Now, we've got to try and communicate with that gray.
19:22How do you propose to do that?
19:25The artifact, the one from Roswell,
19:27you said that it was a translation device, right?
19:31Right?
19:44That thing just spoke to me.
19:50They just demanded our unconditional surrender.
19:56Phil, listen.
19:58I'm going to give you the day's code to the access room, all right?
20:01It's 2Y4414.
20:02I want you to go in there
20:04and get the artifact out of storage.
20:06What are we going to do, Frank?
20:07You're going to ask the gray a few questions.
20:34Gentlemen, I've got to be crazy to be doing this.
20:36Where is it, Phil?
20:38I think it's in the far corner.
20:42It's really taking this place apart.
20:44Are you armed?
20:45Of course I'm armed.
20:47They put it away, Phil.
20:48Frank, I'm operating under scenario A.
20:50The destruction of the lab made me an easy hostile.
20:52We can't assume that.
20:53Don't tell me what I can and can't assume, Lohengard.
20:55You're not walking in my shoes.
20:59All right, Phil, look.
21:01Kim always felt that the grays were a peaceful race,
21:03and if that's true,
21:04he's not going to communicate with us if he feels threatened.
21:10Put it down, Phil.
21:11Put it down where it can see it.
21:12We're working under scenario C now.
21:27You think this fits the government guidelines for hazard pay?
21:36I see him.
21:39Oh, my God, his eyes.
21:41After I filled the artifact,
21:43open it up and show it to him.
21:53It's open.
21:55Okay, put your thumb and four fingers
21:56in the center of the triangle.
22:11Nothing.
22:11I'm not getting anything.
22:12Ask it why it destroyed the lab.
22:14You just have to think it, Phil.
22:23He's frustrated.
22:25Angry about something.
22:29No, something else.
22:33He feels betrayed.
22:35By us?
22:39By Kim.
22:41Why?
22:46He won't say.
22:47Tell him they've taken her.
22:50He knows.
22:51Does he know where?
22:58The DNA.
22:59The DNA.
23:00The DNA strand.
23:01The DNA strand.
23:03He put the thought in my mind.
23:06The twisting ladder image that Kim's been drawing.
23:08Okay, ask him what it means.
23:14That's all he knows.
23:22He's hungry.
23:28He wants strawberry ice cream.
23:38He wants strawberry ice cream.
23:40Anything we can use?
23:44Big Gray just put the DNA image in Albano's head.
23:49I wouldn't believe what it wants to eat.
24:13Maybe they'll bring her back.
24:17Isn't that the way it usually works?
24:24They're bad, aren't they?
24:29Oh, nobody ever told us.
24:32Just treated Ruby special because of her missing time.
24:37Kind of changes your outlook on things.
24:40Right.
24:42About life.
24:45About our baby.
25:00You do that?
25:04Oh, no.
25:06Kim did.
25:07She, uh...
25:09She's been trying it all week.
25:10She's been trying it all week.
25:13Ever see them in person?
25:16No.
25:17When I was little,
25:19my father used to take me to watch the man work.
25:22He was the whole lander.
25:24Nearly finished.
25:26Pop used to say,
25:28you see,
25:29that's what one man can do
25:31if he puts his mind to it.
25:34You can...
25:35you can build towers, Georgie.
25:38He can build towers.
25:40Georgie, what are you talking about?
25:43A man making his own destiny.
25:47If Simon Rodia can build the Watts Towers alone,
25:51then maybe together
25:54we got a chance against these alien people.
26:11ready?
26:131, 2, 3, 2, 1.
26:43Oh, okay.
27:00Welcome home.
27:13it's strange i don't think i've ever felt this complete
27:22it's as if my whole life has been leading up to this moment
27:29john
27:36they're okay
27:40i just dreamt about kim and the baby and
27:45they're both okay i'm gonna get them back john
27:50it's a delicate situation towers are in the heart of the riot zone if we send in a presence they
27:56think it'll be interpreted as a police action and that's just asking for more trouble you ain't
28:01blood you don't belong down there what do you suggest mr thomas that we stay right where we are
28:09but i know that's not gonna wash
28:16i got a call
28:20people know me
28:40i i live on the 112. you press washington post ain't gonna buy your jacket in there
28:47i can't stop you but i'd sure as hell think twice about it we appreciate your concern could you please
28:51move the sawhorse
28:52uh
29:01Let's go.
29:29Stay low. Stay low. Maybe use that camera. Everybody would like to see the picture in there, baby. I lived
29:35my whole life in this neighborhood. Shopped at that market they're looting right now. I'll tell you, part of me
29:42is going, what are we going to do now? But I'll tell you, there's another part of me that's going,
29:48yeah, yeah. It's about time.
29:54I thought this was supposed to be the land of the free when we guard. We break democracy. This would
29:59never happen in the Soviet Union.
30:02Is she rushing?
30:06These aliens, they're all over.
30:07Get out of here, get out of here!
30:13Get out of here!
30:16Hey, hey, stop! Make a hole up! Hey, I'm blind!
30:19Get us out of here! Get us out of here!
30:23Get out of here!
30:39Get out of here!
30:50Get out of here!
30:54Come on!
31:03Come on!
31:04Come on, come on, come on! In here, in here!
31:05Hey! What the hell are you doing?
31:07George?
31:08We got some people after us, G.T.
31:11Give him up?
31:13I can't.
31:14You're just gonna have to trust me on this.
31:25They know why he's in here. Now get out!
31:28Move!
31:29This is G.T. Briggs. He's Ruby's brother.
31:31Start talking.
31:34Mr. Briggs, we need to get to the towers right away.
31:37The towers?
31:38Yeah.
31:39You wouldn't make it out of my backyard live.
32:11They're experimenting with different genetic combinations, but that's all I could understand. I think we should get Merrick out of
32:17here and make direct contact.
32:18I'm not ready to clear him for that. Has our team found a habitat?
32:21Well, our friend seems comfortable. Ate two quarts of strawberry ice cream.
32:27Uh, team's still trying to make sense of that. Any word?
32:30A news chopper photographed what we think was their car, but it was abandoned.
32:33The rioting continues to spread as the city of Los Angeles watches on in horror.
32:39Negro leaders and city officials met this afternoon at Athens Park and were unable to reach a consensus.
32:45The mood is grim, the prognosis worse, and the community of wants continues to burn.
32:54He's still dead.
32:56And they're gonna keep it dead as long as we're kicking up our heels.
32:59More, how much more we got to take of this, huh?
33:01Now we are human beings just like everybody else.
33:04That's right.
33:04Now look, I was down on Avalon last night.
33:06Now we, the Negro people, have got completely set up.
33:10Now they're not gonna pipe down here, huh?
33:12You know where they're going?
33:13They're going up to the whites, right?
33:15Now they're gonna congregate.
33:17Now they don't care.
33:18Huh?
33:19That's right.
33:20That's right.
33:20That's right.
33:21That's right.
33:21That's right.
33:21I saw all the TV's been playing.
33:23Like that kid speaks for us all.
33:27Just another reason to keep us animals in the ghetto.
33:30To beat us down.
33:32He's read about one thing.
33:34The black man has been betrayed.
33:38He's gonna lash out.
33:51Albono used that word.
33:53Betrayed.
33:54He said the grave felt that way about Kim.
33:56That's why it destroyed the whole damn lab.
33:58That doesn't make sense.
34:00Maybe Albono got it wrong.
34:01Alright.
34:05You gotta be crazy bringing these people over here, George.
34:09Look, you know I don't do things lightly.
34:14You really thinking somebody's got your wife over at the towers?
34:17There's someplace nearby we don't know for sure.
34:20She's in the same program as Ruby, this baby study thing.
34:27He, uh, he knows about him. Listen, Dylan.
34:30Don't believe a word of it,
34:32but I'm willing to give my sister the benefit of the doubt.
34:35Will you take us there?

39:35Come on.
40:01John, you found me.
40:06Oh, thank God. I was so worried.
40:09He didn't have to be.
40:11It was supposed to happen.
40:21Where's the baby?
40:23He's with us, John.
40:27We had to take him.
40:36Oh, no. No, Kim.
40:39It's all right, John. We're fine.
40:43Lugar, get down!
40:50We'll take care of them, college boy.
40:59John?
41:00John?
41:06John.
41:09John, look at me.
41:13They're gone, John.
41:15We've got to get out of here.
41:16No!
41:19No!
41:23There are times when we feel something so deeply
41:26that the only thing we can do is lash out.
41:32It isn't control. It doesn't make sense.
41:35And it often creates lasting damage.
41:53There's no excuse for it.
41:55And maybe you have to experience it
41:57before you can fully understand it.
41:59But there is no purer expression
42:01of frustration and pain.
42:18The riots in Watts lasted another two days.
42:21By the time the National Guard
42:22took control of the area,
42:2427 people were dead.
42:25600 were injured.
42:27And property damage was estimated
42:28to be well over $100 million.
42:33Did it make a difference?
42:39George and Ruby's child,
42:41a beautiful baby girl named Miriam,
42:44was nearly 30
42:45when the Los Angeles ghetto erupted again.
42:48But by then,
42:49she was a lawyer
42:50working for the city's first
42:51African-American mayor.
42:55That day,
42:56I could only guess
42:57what the future held for Kim
42:59and my son.
43:10How long has he been at it?
43:12Almost an hour.
43:14Almost an hour.
43:35A dense hour.
43:37I don't know.
43:38I think he's ready to take a look.
43:38She like me.
43:38The community in Missigox,
43:38Nature's a riot.
43:39How much happened?
43:39How long has he been at it?
43:42there have been 8 episodes
43:44inühl circa sleep.
43:45Anything?
43:49Yeah.
43:53The, uh...
43:54Gray sensed the gangling...
43:57growing inside her, and...
44:02But...
44:02it didn't come out of the coma until it was too late.
44:08What else did it say?
44:29I don't know why I didn't tell them that night.
44:32Maybe it was because the Gray and I were connected...
44:34in a way I thought they couldn't comprehend.
44:37We were both alone, both frustrated...
44:40and both empty with the loss of Kim.
44:44How could two beings so different be so much alike?
44:48How could they put aside their differences to comfort each other?
44:52To tell each other that they understand?
44:56The end of the day...
45:11The End of the Day
