01x11 - Return of the Anasazi

[bunniefuu]

New mexico 1947

Certain native american legends
speak of an ancient people...

Episode title

...who came from
beyond the stars...

...bringing with them knowledge
which would set humans...

...above the animals around
them.

But mankind misused
the ancient ones' knowledge...

...and the earth and her people
fell out of harmony.

Now, the legends say...

...just as caring parents must
watch over their children...

...so the ancients return
to earth from time to time...

...trying to prevent humanity
from destroying itself...

...and the very earth which
gives it life.

The ancient people of those
legends are called the anasazi.

The ancients left my people
a beacon of quartz...

...which was passed down
from generation to generation...

...coming finally to my
grandfather, a great shaman.

That night,
he was called by the ancients...

...through the beacon
with an important message.

But something terrible happened.

Green leader to base.
Unidentified flying
object in sight.

Range, 1000 yards.
Permission to open fire.

Base to green leader,
permission granted.

Holy moly, that thing's faster
than a snake-bit roadrunner.

What in tarnation is it, anyway?

Roswell n.m.

Roswell airbase


Holy smoke!

Dad.

-Hello?
-Dr. Quest?

-Yes.
-Benton.

-Alice?
-After all these years.

I should be flattered
you remembered.

I've never forgotten.
How could i?

Those times were some of
the happiest.

-Did you get the package?
-You sent the package?

-I need your help.
-Of course, but why?

I gotta go.
I can't explain now.

Alice?
Alice, are you there?

I still don't see
why we can't come.

We've been through this, jonny.

You both have term papers.
And we'll only be gone
a couple of days.

Come on, son.
Don't give me a hard time.

Okay.
Good luck.

Be sure
and call.

The night my grandfather was
called by the ancients...

...was the very same night...

...that the government retrieved
the wreckage of an alien
spacecraft...

...at roswell airfield.

That is a remarkable story.

It's not a story, benton.
It's the truth.

I was there,


I was a terrified little girl,
but I remember every detail.

Alice, why are you telling me
this now?

Because I need a secret to share
with you when you're gone.

Wait a minute.
I thought you were
coming with me.

-You know I can't.
-But, alice....

Don't ask me again.

I'll miss you, benton,
but I have to stay close
to this place.

I'm not sure why.
I guess that's why
they call it destiny.

No one can argue with destiny.

What's the matter, benton?

Nothing.
Nothing at all.

Don't worry about it, mrs.
Evans.
It was an accident.

We can probably glue it
right back together again.

Oh, for land sakes.

Well, if you really think so,
I suppose it's no skin off
my nose.

Check this out.

It looks as though it's got
some kind of secret compartment.

Maybe there was something
hidden in it once?

How would you get anything in
there?
It's solid quartz, isn't it?

That's what I thought.

Let's just glue it back together
and ask dad when he gets back
from arizona.

We'll take some pictures of
it first, just for the files.

Oh, bandit....

Bandit.

Bandit!

You okay, boy?

-What's going on?
-What happen...?

-Bandit, come back.
-Look, they took the stone.

I'm calling the police.

I'm sorry we couldn't give you
any more details.

We'll file a report, mrs. Evans.

Rockport police

Strange lights.
Yeah.
They been watching too much tv.

Come on, jess.
Let's try dad again.

-He's still not picking up.
-Maybe they're out of range.

There's a recorded message
for that.
What are you doing?

Accessing your dad's files
on alice starseer.

-Maybe she'll give us a clue...
-What?

She's cross-referenced
to anasazi legends...

...extraterrestrial visitations
and ufo intrusions.

Bandit.

What have you got there?

Come on, boy.
Come here, give it up.

-What is it?
-I don't know.
Beats me, jess.

But it doesn't weigh anything.
Here.

I've never seen any kind
of metal that looked or felt
like that.

If it is met...
Wait a minute.

Is this shape familiar?

It's the same shape
as the compartment inside
the quartz.

This must have been inside it.

So maybe those whoever they were
weren't looking for the stone.

I bet they were looking
for that thing.

And when they realize it's not
still inside the quartz, they'll
be back.

No.
It means much more than that.

The quartz is somehow
connected with alice...

...and alice is connected with
ufos and extraterrestrials...

...so maybe those burglars
weren't even human.

Okay, time out.
This is too tall for tv, jess.

We have got to talk to dad.

-What are you doing?
-Booking us two seats to
arizona.

What?
"Alert fbi immediately"?

Came up when I typed in
the quest enterprises credit
card.

I don't get it.
Why would the fbi be looking
for us?

Not us, necessarily.
Anyone connected
with quest enterprises.

Okay.
Ufos, fbi, aliens,
government agents.

I don't know, jess.
This stinks.

We've got to get to arizona.
We gotta find race and dad.

Any ideas?

We'll cut across country
till we get to an amtrak
station.

Even if someone's looking
for two kids, they can't cover
every airport and rail station.

Look out!

-Jessie, you okay?
-I'm fine, I'm fine.

No thanks to you, you dumb mutt.

Well, I guess no one will be
looking for two kids and a dog.

Departure: lewiston, maine
destination: springfield,
missouri

I take it back.
Maybe you're not so dumb after
all.

What is it, boy?

It must be sending out
some kind of a signal.

But why?
How?
If it is a signal,
who's gonna pick it up?

We're at least
a thousand miles from home.

No one could possibly know
where we are.

It's extraterrestrial
technology, jonny.

If aliens are looking for us...

...don't you think their ship
could cover a thousand miles in
a couple of seconds?

There must be some way
we could deactivate it.

Yeah, throw it out the window.

Wait a sec, jess.

You're not gonna like this.
They're here.

Maybe you're right.
Toss it.

This is outrageous.
You cannot hold us indefinitely.

Wrong, dr. Quest.
This is a matter of national
security.

Your son and mr. Bannon's
daughter have something I need.

When I have it,
you'll be free to go.

And if you believe that...

...i got a tin-plated mud cat
with a gold vest pocket.

Oh, race,
I don't like your implication.

They must let us go eventually.
Mustn't they?

These jokers are beyond the law,
hadji.

They've been using hybrids
of ufo technology for years.

Check out that helicopter.

It's designed from elements they
stole from alien wrecks.

-But no one's gonna
admit to anything.
-Of course.

When one acknowledges
the existence of beings...

...with superior intellects
and technologies...

...one also acknowledges
one's own inferiority.

Why haven't they picked up
jessie and jonny yet?

That is very simple.

Jessie and jonny are obviously
more resourceful...

...than these national-security
types.

-Where are we?
-Coming up to quinlan, oklahoma.

Departure: quinlan, oklahoma
destination: sunray, texas

This is as far as I go.

-Thanks for the ride.
-Yup.

Never could resist
a fine-looking dog.
Y'all take care, hear?

Airport

Rankin
air service

-Are you thinking what
I'm thinking?
-I hope not.

Not even a phone.

No, no, no, I don't think so.

Come on, jessie.
I've flown
hundreds of hours with your dad.

Yeah, but how many hours
have you flown without him?

Hey!

Hey!
Hey, come back here.

Come back.
Come on back, now.

Rotate, jonny.
Rotate.

Come back here!

The helicopter that crashed last
night sure didn't look very
extraterrestrial to me.

Yeah, but it didn't look like
any military helicopter
I've ever seen.

So, what are you saying, jess?

That maybe they're more
interested in what they can
steal from the aliens...

...instead of what they can
learn from them.

-Hey, jess, are we there?
-We're right over third mesa.

According to your dad's files,
alice starseer's place is here
somewhere.

That must be it.

How many hours did you say
you'd flown with my dad?

-Hey, even monkeys fall from
trees.
-What's that supposed to mean?

Ask hadji.
It's one of his.

Give me the beacon, kid.

-Is my dad here?
-He's here.

-And race?
-And your indian pal.

You give me the beacon and you
can get back to playing happy
families.

The beacon.

Let's go.
Move it.

We can't let them do this.

We can't stand by while that
neanderthal brings down a ufo
and captures its people.

I hate to think of the kind of
experiments they have in mind.

Or what those idiots might do
with a brand-new technology.

There was no choice, son,
but I wish you hadn't given them
the beacon.

Well, dad, maybe I didn't.

Oh, jonny, you are
the proverbial fox
with many tricks.

-What did you give them?
-The stearman's fuel tester.

I figured it was made
before he was born.

How would he know
the difference?

-Let's go.
Move it, move it.
-Let's get out of here!

Come on.

You're supposed to
be on our side.
You were a government man.

You're right.
I was.

Until they made those shades
part of the uniform.

Come on.

-Where are we headed, race?
-We'll take their chopper.

You're finished, bannon.

You're in so deep, it'll take
a backhoe and four jackhammers
to dig you out.

Oh, yeah?

I'm shaking, boss.
You see me shaking?

And you.
You're in big trouble here, kid.

Big trouble.
I'll take that.

Listen, mister,
you're in over your head.

For once in your life, be smart.
Take your men and your weapons
and leave.

This is no business of yours.
In fact, it never was.

You may have won this battle,
but the w*r ain't over.

Not by a long shot.

Come with me, benton.

All of you, come with us.
Think of what you'll see.

Unknown worlds.
Unimaginable civilizations.

This would be the greatest
adventure of your lives.
Come with us.

I can't do that, alice.

-But...
-No, don't ask again.

-A long time ago,
you spoke of destiny.
-I remember.

Well, this is where we belong.

I'll never forget you, benton.

Come on, dad.
Let's go home.
