Copyright ©1996 All Rights Reserved WGA Registered #649528 By "Mark Paul" Sebar Welcome to the episodes of Dark Skies that were written on spec. Dark Skies Script supervisor never commented on these and whether they were read by him or anyone else at the original Dark Skies group is unknown. JT Walsh, a very dear friend of mine did read a couple of them and said they were very good. It is unfortunate that Dark Skies has decided to go with Ganglions and Russian spy's in Majestic, or even taken Loengard onto the base. The capturing of Kim Sayers was an even bigger gutting of what could have been an excellent Television series. Truthfully, they blew it! It certainly wasn't fair to Columbia Pictures Executives who put so much faith in these Producers, nor to you the Viewer who needed more respect. While the Ganglion theme plays throughout my stories, be aware, that the aliens and phenomena play closer to the real UFO scenes. Unfortunately I had to have some Ganglions in there, but if I had it my way, they would not have been there, since they are an unrealistic alien, with adverse scientific facts that couldn't possibly explain how a lobster sized creature breaks through the stomach, up the spine, penetrates the skull membrane, without dropping the brain onto the spinal comlumn (doctors please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but go easy...I'm just an American Writer), and then the creatures fit in the head? This is the last of the three Teleplays I wrote. It was plotted in 11 minutes and written in 6 hours, including proofing time. The second Teleplay in the series is 51=4 and the first one is Pleiades Of Elements It's best to read Pleiades Of Elements before you read this. All I ask is that with your enjoyment of these episodes, you leave the original in tact and that my name as both WGA regiateree and Copyright holder be kept as is. If you feel this has been altered from the original, please understand that with this being the possible case, I will take no liability for this. I hope you enjoy the series...sincerely "Mark Paul" "DARK SKIES" NAUTICALS TEASER FADE IN: INT. COUNTRY ROAD INLET BEACH, FLORIDA - NIGHT We see an automobile driving down the dark lonely road along the Florida panhandle coastline. In it are a couple, a man and a woman. They are listening to the tunes on the radio. enjoying the music. They pass an old building, more like a shack, alongside of the road. There's an old-timer standing there watching as they pass. CUT TO: EXT. OLD BUILDING AND MAN SIDE OF ROAD - NIGHT The old man watches them pass, then turns his head towards the ocean. P.O.V. We see a Nautical disk emerge from the waters. This is different than regular disks we've seen. It's bulkier looking, taller in appearance. As it rises dripping from it's edges, it begins a hover, glows a moment, then lifts to the sky, slowly approaching the coastline. Then it hovers a moment, taking pause. INTER CUT TO: EXT. SHACK AND OLDMAN - NIGHT The old guy's watching the disk cruise on by, terror and amazement filling his eyes. CUT BACK TO: EXT. DISK - NIGHT The craft begins shining a beam of light down upon the ground, as it hovers closer to the old man and the shack. Then the light begins to shine down on the old man, as the craft quickly hovers over his position. It's a moment filled with terror. Then the moment passes as the craft starts to slowly glide away. CUT TO: INT. AUTOMOBILE - NIGHT The couple are driving along enjoying the music. The girl turns to him. WOMAN FLORIDA So, now that you beat BOBBIE down, you've won my heart. MAN FLORIDA Yeah, that may be true. But only time will tell where this romance leads. You could be loaded with venereal disease. Being a hooker ain't the best job in the world. WOMAN FLORIDA Maybe I consider you a gigolo. They both laugh a moment. SHE reaches to the floor, grabbing a bottle of beer. Taking the bottle SHE swigs from it, then hands it to him. HE takes a drink of it too. INTER CUT TO: EXT. ROAD - NIGHT The car swerves a moment as we watch them drive by. Gliding silently in the distance is the disk. CUT BACK TO: INT. CAR - NIGHT The radio's gaining static. MAN FLORIDA That's weird. WOMAN FLORIDA What is it? MAN FLORIDA The radio just went dead. Suddenly the car goes dead as well, as they pull to the side of the road. A bright beam shines down upon the vehicle as both of them get out of the car. They are stricken with fear. The woman makes a run for it, while we see 4 human sized beings in the distance approaching their vehicle and the man, who grabs a crowbar. One of the beings breaks from the other three to go after the woman, while the man faces their oncoming mob. CUT TO: EXT. FOREST/SWAMP - NIGHT SHE runs among the gum trees and sycamores, while trying to escape. Her state is frenzied and drunk. But SHE'S filled with terror. Suddenly as SHE stops a moment, from behind the tree, we see her pursuer, the alien being who broke away from the disk. HE'S a human sized Reptilian, staring at her a moment. His eyes pierce her sole, foretelling of her upcoming fate and misfortune. Then as SHE takes a step back, tripping over a stone, we see this evil being close in on her position. WOMAN FLORIDA No..God, oh nooooooo. FADE TO BLACK. END TEASER ACT ONE FADE IN: INT. LOENGARD'S HOTEL ROOM - DAY We see both JOHN and KIM seated near the table, waiting for the call. Moments pass, then the phone rings. KIM picks it up. OLD LOENGARD (V.O.) KIM and I had grown over the years. We'd seen great changes. But somehow in my heart, I knew that sooner or later we might face a truth that was best left alone. It might become a time where old enemies became allies in a greater cause for freedom. SAYERS Hello?...Yes, HE's right here. (beat) JOHN, it's our old friend XENO, the PLEIADIAN. SHE hands JOHN the phone watching as HE relaxes a moment. HE takes it, as SHE turns, walking to the sink, grabbing a glass of water. LOENGARD Hello XENO. Why have you called us? It's been a long time since we were on the mesa that night. KIM and I are forever indebted to you. XENO (PLEIADIAN) (Russian style accent) I'm calling you, because things are changing rapidly. Something will soon be happening and I need to enlist everybody to prepare for what comes. LOENGARD What's going to happen? XENO (PLEIADIAN) Something terrible is coming. LOENGARD Ganglion invasion? XENO (PLEIADIAN) No..it's far worse. They're already here. But they are planning to come soon, to feed on humans...The, as you call them, Reptilians. LOENGARD Okay..I'm listening. XENO (PLEIADIAN) I will talk no more. Your phone is being listened to by others. They are monitoring us. We will meet at a bar at this address in Tallahassee Florida. LOENGARD When? XENO (PLEIADIAN) In two days, on Wednesday morning. LOENGARD Okay. LOENGARD hangs the phone up. KIM drinks the water while staring him in the eye. SAYERS What was that about? LOENGARD Problems...big problems. SAYERS Is it the Ganglions or Zetas? LOENGARD No..I think it's bigger than that. We're going to Tallahassee. Here's the address...Wednesday morning. Hands her the paper. SAYERS That's not far from here. LOENGARD Exactly. HE wants to meet there, in a bar. Something about Reptilians. SAYERS Florida Panhandle area. It's involving a UFO and abductions. LOENGARD I wonder if BACH'S involved in this one too? Working for him's tough, HE doesn't say much. SAYERS I'll get us booked for the flight...You know something? LOENGARD What? KIM walks around the table. SHE begins to massage his shoulders, caressing him gently, then whispering behind his ear... SAYERS I like this idea of our, joining MUFON. It might be a good move. Kind of a double spy role on our part, working for MUFON and Majestic both. LOENGARD (smiles) It is kind of fun, isn't it? Okay, let's get ready. CUT TO: INT. MAJESTIC BULLPEN - DAY BACH stands by the desk, holding the pen to his lips, thinking a moment. ALBANO approaches, nervously watching his boss. BACH Yeah? ALBANO In Florida...another one. BACH Call S-4 and get answers. I wanna know why the Zeta's are taking people. That area's not one of our agreements. Get what you can out of em. ALBANO I don't trust them. BACH I don't like those little bastards anymore than you do. Something's going on and we're being kept in the dark about things. ALBANO I'll get on it. ALBANO leaves the room. A Technician hands BACH a cordless phone. HE smiles, then takes it from her. BACH Yes.....(beat) I see. Follow them and any others who head there. I want them tailed, but be discreet. Report any activity to me personally. CUT TO: INT. MAJESTIC SIDE ROOM ALBANO'S on the phone. HE'S confused. ALBANO No..FRANK wants answers up front. Then talk to all of them, find out what gives...I don't care if they're scared. HE wants answers. Tell them anything, just get em talking quickly. This is serious. HE wipes his mouth, hangs up the phone receiver. ALBANO'S clearly stressing. HE gets up and walks out of the room. CUT TO: INT. S-4 BRIEFING ROOM - DAY We are inside a briefing room with no windows and only one door. There is a long black table in this room, and grey chairs all around the table. It has an executive feel to it. The door opens and in walks Two Grey Zetas and an Orange Zeta. The two Grey Zetas each take a seat while the slightly taller Orange Zeta stands waiting at the tables end. A uniformed INTERVIEWER enters the room, and the door is closed behind him. He takes a seat at the opposite end of the table, directly across from the Orange Zeta. CAREEEL (ORANGE ZETA) (emotionless,curious,telepathic ally speaking) Major..why have you broken us from our work? INTERVIEWER (new york accent,bronx) Gentlemen..we have a problem. The two Greys at the middle of the table look at each other a moment. CAREEEL (ORANGE ZETA) They have you alarmed. INTERVIEWER I need to know more about them. What can you tell me? ZETA 2 (speaks telepathically) We live in fear of them. They are the master race. INTERVIEWER In what way? ZETA 2 They are the master race. We serve them. You will feed them. INTERVIEWER Feed them?...How will we feed them? CAREEEL (ORANGE ZETA) When they come, they will use your world's resources, and they will feed on Mankind just as your people eat cattle. INTERVIEWER That's disgusting. CAREEEL (ORANGE ZETA) It's reality. You're a food source to the Reptilians. INTERVIEWER When they get here, we'll stop em. CAREEEL (ORANGE ZETA) They already have a base established. It's only a question of how long, before their bulk population settles in. INTERVIEWER We have a thing in New York, called Alligator shoes. The Human race won't stand by and be slaughtered. CAREEEL (ORANGE ZETA) There is nothing else to do. Face the facts, your time will soon come. CUT TO: EXT. INLET BEACH FLORIDA - DAY The sun's hanging low in the sky. JOHN and KIM drive to a stop, in front of the small building. The OLD-TIMER'S sitting in a chair on the porch, puffing on his pipe. HE watches them, almost without moving. Then HE dawns a smile to the strangers. SAYERS I'm KIM and this is JOHN. We called you concerning the sighting of the disk. We're with MUFON. Mutual UFO Network. LOENGARD We came to investigate. OLD-TIMER (points to ocean) They come from there...the sea. They'll be by tomorrow night, 8 o'clock sharp. JOHN and KIM look at each other a moment in disbelief. SAYERS At exactly that time? OLD-TIMER Exactly that time. Them people in that flying saucer do something over the swamps and forest. Head North of here toward Seminole Hills. LOENGARD Have you seen any of them? OLD-TIMER Naw...ain't seen a one. But I've heard ya don't wanna. SAYERS Why's that? OLD-TIMER Cause they eat meat. Yup, real meat eaters I hear. Ain't no one come back from them except this kid in town, JOHNNY DEP. Got them other two, a week ago. I was the last to see them, a couple of no goods, I tell you. Drunk and a whore...Lizards got em. The locals know better, especially this kid JOHNNY. SAYERS Do you know where we can reach JOHNNY DEP? OLD-TIMER Hangs at the local bar in Lullwater. There almost every night. LOENGARD Can you show us where the couple disappeared? OLD-TIMER Sonny boy...I didn't get to live this long by being dumb. I'll point you in that direction if that's your game, but I ain't going there. And I certainly wouldn't take a beautiful girl like her. (points to SAYERS) SAYERS (blushes) Thank you. OLD-TIMER I might be a bit old, but I know how to be a gentleman. Come inside, I'll show you two the map. But I'm warnin ya, I ain't responsible if these lizards show up and try and get ya fer supper. CUT TO: EXT. SWAMP AND FOREST - SUNSET JOHN and KIM investigate the area, tracking the spot where the cars tires touched the mud by the side of the road. The marks are barely visible, from the previous week, but still at the spot the old man said. SAYERS JOHN..quickly, over here. SHE points to the ground. INTER CUT TO: GROUND SHOT - ZOOM TO: SHOE PRINTS IN MUD There are tracks on the ground, from shoes. ZOOM OUT: The two of them follow the tracks to a spot near a tree. SAYERS Those prints are rather small. LOENGARD Look overhear, at these three toe marks in the ground. SAYERS They came and got her. What about the man, the OLD-TIMER mentioned? LOENGARD Maybe HE ran the opposite direction. Suddenly we hear the loud shriek of a bird in the distance. SAYERS JOHN, I'm a little frightened. I don't wanna stay here. LOENGARD I know, I've had the feeling for a while too. Let's get going. We'll see that DEP guy in town. Maybe he'll be able to answer a few questions about the aliens. CUT TO: INT. MAJESTIC BULLPEN - SUNSET ALBANO approaches BACH. BACH lights a smoke, then turns to ALBANO. BACH What did they say? ALBANO The Interviewer found out a few things, but the greys aren't talking much. BACH Why's that? ALBANO HE said they're scared. Both men stare at each other, a moment, in amazement. BACH Since when do they display emotions? ALBANO That's what I thought, but HE said they're scared. BACH What did we find out? ALBANO The worst of our fears. These are the Reptilians. They enslave the Zetas, are considered the master race. HE said they talk of a great invasion by these lizard beings. BACH Ha, that's all we need...more lizards running around. It isn't bad enough with alligators and crocodiles...Okay let's get the others..all eleven of em. ALBANO I'll handle it. ALBANO splits while BACH snuffs the cigarette out in a tray. CUT TO: EXT. LULLWATER FLORIDA - NIGHT We see the pickup drive into the dirt parking area of the saloon. Both KIM and JOHN get out of the car. This is a low life bar. Across the road are several good ole boys drinking it up, chatting and laughing their guts off. KIM takes notice as both JOHN and herself enter the premises. CUT TO: INT. SALOON - NIGHT This place is rocking with blues and filled with cigarette smoke. There's a country atmosphere here, with a small stage and a blues band. Both JOHN and KIM approach the BARTENDER. LOENGARD We're looking for a man named JOHNNY DEP. BARTENDER Who's askin? LOENGARD MUFON..Mutual UFO Network. SAYERS We're investigating the... BARTENDER Don't tell me about it..I don't believe in that crap. (points at DEP) Tell him..HE'S the man you folks wanna talk to. We see a man in his late twenties wearing a baseball cap and bomber jacket. HE'S drunk, sitting at a table by himself, his head hung over the table, in a stupor. Both KIM and JOHN approach. SAYERS JOHNNY DEP? JOHNNY DEP Who's asking for me? LOENGARD We're with MUFON. We're investigating the Reptilians and the disappearance of the couple last week. JOHNNY DEP (drunken slur) No mercy. They tried to take me, but I had my Dillinger in my cuff. Shot em and got away. LOENGARD The lizard people? JOHNNY DEP What else...you'd think there were enough alligators in this state, but noooo...now they're looking like aliens and what not. SAYERS You think they were responsible for the disappearance of... JOHNNY'S face falls flat on the table. HE'S out of it, totally blacked out. The BARTENDER approaches, shaking his head. BARTENDER What a waste of a man. SAYERS Has his drinking been a problem? BARTENDER Never used to be..HE was a student at Florida State bout a year ago. SAYERS What happened to him? BARTENDER Started seeing these lizard people...Then HE went on the internet and started reading about creatures that were like your typical grey's only they had scales and such...If you ask me, it's all a lot of nonsense. LOENGARD What makes you say that? BARTENDER I think that couple was murdered. I'm closing the bar pretty soon. You kids might wanna vacate. It isn't wise asking these questions. The law already cracked down on others and the folks round here don't like strangers...know what I mean? SAYERS Thank you. LOENGARD I think we got what we wanted out of this. Have a good one. BARTENDER You kids take good care of yerselves, and don't go in them swamps...Filled with gators and moccasin. With that said both of them beat a retreat from the saloon, into their truck. Then they get rolling, heading onto the highway. CUT TO: EXT. SKY/OCEAN - NIGHT At first it appears to be a meteor, then the multi colored craft (a disk) dashes towards the ocean, plunging into the depths of the water. There are small waves from it as it has disappeared below. Moments later another craft emerges from the water, this one slightly different in shape. It hovers over the surface, then zooms in the night sky, disappearing amongst the stars. There is activity here, something more than the normal UFO sightings. One can sense the presence with these craft, a purpose in their maneuvers. CUT TO: INT. LOENGARD'S MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT Both KIM and JOHN enter the dark hotel room. Turning on the lights, they spot JIM STEEL. HE'S sitting on the couch, eating popcorn. JOHN pulls a gun. But JIM ignores him. STEEL Don't be so surprised JOHN. LOENGARD Why...why are you here. Haven't you learned all those years ago, we just want to live. STEEL (smiles) Expose the truth?...What truth? SAYERS Kill him. STEEL That's not very nice. SAYERS You've been trying to kill us all these years. JIM stands to face the both of them. HE pulls a chair for KIM at the table. They all seat themselves. STEEL Maybe it's time for a truce. SAYERS I don't trust you or your alien friends. STEEL Then build trust...we all have a bigger problem. I believe people from the middle east have a saying. The enemy of my enemies is my friend. LOENGARD We have a hint of what it is. STEEL They eat Ganglions for food. We can't exist in them as we can in Humans and some Zetas. They're the enemies of all but the smaller Zetas who they've enslaved...they eat us. LOENGARD That's your problem. STEEL Not yet..but it will be. JOHN, if we can talk with BACH... SAYERS BACH will kill you. I rather think HE hates you more than HE hates us. Besides..how many times have you demonstrated your willingness to play tricks, assassinate people for your own cause. LOENGARD For all we know, this could be a new trick. STEEL If it was a trick, why haven't I tried killing either of you? SAYERS I don't know, but I still don't trust you, or your other alien friends. LOENGARD I think it's time to leave. STEEL gets up from the table. STEEL Okay..but do one thing. LOENGARD And what's that? Hands JOHN a card as HE makes ready to go. STEEL Call me at this number if you have a change of heart. You're in with an organization that can help. Together we can fight the Reptilians, survive, maybe a new era of cooperation between our cultures. SAYERS Ha...that'll be the day. With that said, STEEL exits the room, closing the door behind him. JOHN goes to the window, watching as STEEL gets into his Corvette. HE drives away. JOHN turns to KIM. SAYERS HE'S up to something new...I don't trust that man. LOENGARD HE's not a man, but an alien. I don't like it either. But, you do have to admit, what HE said makes sense. If there are these Reptilians and they are both his and our enemies, maybe combined with MUFON and them as well as BACH and the governments, we'll be able to stop them. SAYERS And what if HE'S tricking us? They both look at each other. FADE OUT: END OF ACT ONE ACT TWO FADE IN: EXT. LULLWATER GAS STATION - DAY JOHNNY DEP'S pumping gas for a customer when JOHN and KIM drive up. They both park their truck and get out. HE turns to face the two of them. JOHNNY DEP Sorry bout last night. Finishes up with customer, customer starts engine drives away. JOHNNY DEP I was to buzzed, C'mon inside. I'm gonna blow your mind with what I saw. SAYERS And what did you see? JOHNNY DEP They're coming, these vicious, evil lizard aliens. They have no souls, and they're coming. JOHN and KIM look absolutely shocked. LOENGARD Can you show us how to get to their base? Is it underwater? JOHNNY DEP Yup, sure is. I told them boys in the coast guard, but they thought I was nuts...on drugs or something. Who's to say I wouldn't have thought the same thing myself, being that I was plastered when I talked with them...Okay, there's a cavern entrance under the waves off of the beach out there. Once you get past the diving part to the cavern underwater, it opens to a tunnel. That tunnel goes about a quarter mile out there, under the ocean floor. SAYERS They must have guards posted? JOHNNY DEP Not at first, but they do now. These creatures have a small city under the ocean floor. Probably about 3 or 4 thousand of them...and believe me when I say they ain't friendly to Humans. SAYERS You mentioned you shot em? LOENGARD That does seem far fetched. JOHNNY DEP Yes it does...but it's the truth. Look in my eyes, see my words, boy. When JOHNNY DEP tells ya it happened, HE'S telling ya the truth. LOENGARD You a scuba diver? JOHNNY DEP Yep...that's how I knew where I was, once I took the plunge outta that cave, into the ocean water. About forty feet below... SAYERS I'm not much for swimming in the ocean. SHE'S worried about JOHN'S reply, and for good reason. LOENGARD I have to try. SAYERS No, it's too dangerous. JOHNNY DEP SHE'S right, it best be left to scuba people, maybe Coast Guard or Navy...but not you nice folks. LOENGARD The old man mentioned they're being over the forest and swamplands tonight. JOHNNY DEP I don't want anything to do with that. I barely managed escaping from them, and it's my understanding that people generally don't come back from these Reptile lizard things. When they had me in a room, I could have sworn I saw a human skeleton...get my drift, don't go out there. LOENGARD Thanks for the advice. KIM, I think we need to leave. SAYERS Thank you for your time mister DEP. JOHNNY DEP Please don't go out there tonight. LOENGARD We'll consider it. JOHN and KIM split from him, as DEP watches in the background. CUT TO: INT. PICKUP - DAY KIM and JOHN are driving away from the station, onto the highway. SAYERS JOHN, it's too dangerous. LOENGARD KIM, we have to...especially if STEEL and this guy are right. That's even more reason. SAYERS I won't let you go it alone. LOENGARD I need you to stay behind, just in case things happen to me. I'm calling FRANK. CUT TO: EXT. LOENGARD'S MOTEL ROOM - DAY They drive up in the truck parking it alongside of the road. Then both of them get out, as JOHN takes a good look around. HE spots the trees in the distance, realizing where HE'S going tonight. SAYERS JOHN...why don't we...? LOENGARD (angry) NO..KIM, I said we have to. SAYERS Don't you know I love you, worry about you. JOHN opens the door of their room for her. They both stare each other in the eye a moment, then enter the room. CUT TO: INT. LOENGARD'S ROOM/MAJESTIC BULLPEN - DAY Inside the room, SHE puts her purse on the table, next to STEEL'S card. JOHN grabs the phone. HE dials a number to Majestic. LOENGARD FRANK BACH please....I'll hold..operator. TWO SHOT - LOENGARD & ALBANO ALBANO answers the phone. ALBANO HE doesn't have time for you. LOENGARD Come on...you and I both know about the Reptilians. There's a moment of silence and shock on ALBANO'S face. ALBANO How do you know...? LOENGARD It's in the papers. STEEL was here earlier. ALBANO, I need to talk with FRANK. ALBANO You're supposed to be on assignment in California...Hold on, and I'll see if FRANK wants to talk with you. LOENGARD How very kind on your part. ALBANO Don't push your luck kid. A moment passes as we FRANK grab the phone. HE arrogantly checks his watch. BACH JOHN...ya got two minutes. LOENGARD I'm sure what I tell you will extend that time. BACH (Checks watch again) Now you have a minute in a half. LOENGARD We know about the Reptilians. BACH Is this what that's about...? It's been in the Inquirer and all the tabloids..don't waste my time. LOENGARD Wait...we're in Florida, we know where their base is. STEEL was here, asking to talk to you. HE said they're planning an invasion. BACH This one of your tricks? Your assignment with SAYERS was in California. LOENGARD Wait a second. JOHN hands the phone to KIM. SAYERS FRANK, what HE'S saying is true. FRANK rests a moment, HE has a lot of respect for KIM'S word. BACH Okay...if STEEL didn't try to kill you, how do I know it isn't a trick? SAYERS Because I was once hive...you know that, and HE used to try and get me back...remember? BACH I need time. SAYERS Time's running out. JOHN wants to talk. LOENGARD (sighs) FRANK..look, I'm going tonight, to view this disk. The old man said it shows up once a week over the swamps, on this evening. I'm going to try and get pictures. BACH We might be able to get out friends to ID it... LOENGARD Don't you keep tabs on your employees anymore? BACH Give ALBANO the address. LOENGARD I thought you'd know... BACH You're both small fry...I don't have time for the two of you. FRANK hands ALBANO the phone. ALBANO Okay kid...where you guys at? ALBANO hangs up the phone. BACH Obviously STEEL. The hive's numbers are dwindling. ALBANO (doubt showing) I don't know FRANK. There's something in the kids voice. BACH Think the hive got em? ALBANO No...this time, with what the Zetas said, I think our problems worse. BACH Call Navy and get a sub out there, a nuclear sub, just in case. ALBANO We should get there by nightfall. CUT TO: INT. LOENGARD'S ROOM - SUNSET JOHN'S nervous, no one's yet shown up. LOENGARD For someone interested in aliens and UFO'S, BACH'S guys are certainly taking they're pretty ass time about it. SAYERS JOHN, it's not too late...at least let the both of us go. I won't leave you alone. LOENGARD KIM...I need you here for the others if they come. SAYERS JOHN we do things together. LOENGARD If I can just get some photos. I have to go. When the rest of BACH'S men arrive, tell them where I am...and don't worry KIM, I'll be back...I need you here. JOHN grabs his things together, then splits, leaving KIM to watch him from the window. SAYERS (mutters to herself) I sure as hell hope you return. CUT TO: EXT. HIGHWAY - SUNSET JOHN drives away in the pickup, disappearing down the road. We watch as HE drives toward the swamplands and forest, the trees closing on his position. HE pulls the pickup toward the side of the road. INTER CUT TO: EXT. OCEAN - NIGHT A disk rises out of the water, hovering a few moments, while the ocean water runs off it's glowing blue edges. Then, it proceeds towards the coastline. CUT BACK TO: EXT. FOREST/SWAMP - NIGHT JOHN has a gun and a camera ready. HE'S waiting, hidden by the side of a tree, watching for what HE hopes, but also fears will be coming. INTER CUT TO: EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT It's deserted as the disk scans the highway with bright lights. Then the lights go off as the craft proceeds over the forested area, crisscrossing the trees and the highway. CUT BACK TO: EXT. FOREST/SWAMP - NIGHT JOHN'S nervous as HE waits. Suddenly,... Off in the distance the disk scans the pickup truck, it's bright lights shining down upon it. Then it begins to display a center beam, where upon 5 reptilian aliens are disbursed from it. They begin spreading out, at first studying the truck, then proceeding to JOHN'S side of the road. HE makes ready with the gun and camera. From behind a tree, HE snaps a picture of the craft. Then HE snaps distant pictures of the Reptilians as they continue in his direction. Realizing HE has problems, HE makes a run for it, dashing across the forested trees, as they all take notice of him. Two of the creatures break from the others in his direction, giving chase. They move fast, very fast, faster than him. HE trips, losing the camera on the ground, but still has the 357 magnum in hand. Getting up, JOHN makes a dash, stopping as one of the Reptilians blocks his path. HE looks directly into the yellowish glowing eye, which has the iris of a cat. The iris narrows as the creatures moves toward him. JOHN squeezes off a couple of rounds, killing the creature as it wriggles to the ground, spewing green glowing blood. Another one approaches from behind him. JOHN turns to face the other creature. It comes at him, as HE squeezes off two more rounds. This time, however the creature has activated some type of shielding. The bullets bounce off it. JOHN pistol whips at the Reptilian, as the two of them go at it. Three others close on their position, encircling both JOHN and the evil alien. JOHN's losing the fight when we hear gunshots in the background. The other three are deterred by the gunshots that are getting closer. Then we hear automatic fire being exchanged. The creature lifts JOHN by the throat. It hands him to the others looking in the direction of the approaching agents. The disk appears overhead. LOENGARD You won't get away with this. REPTILIAN We already have. You will be dissected and then become part of our food source. JOHN spits in the alien's face. REPTILIAN (subtitled) Take him out of here. The transfer lift light beam appears out of the bottom of the disk. They are carrying a struggling LOENGARD with them to below the disk, when ALBANO, KIM and group appear. SAYERS Noooooo. ALBANO Let's shoot these bastards...open fire men. In a spectacular gun fire frenzy, the group machine guns at the reptilians who watch a moment as the bullets bounce all over the place, deflected by the reddish glow of their protective shields. Then JOHN and the Reptilians are sucked up in the beam of light, into the disk. KIM'S having a real serious breakdown as two Majestic henchmen hold her. They watchthe disk disappear in the direction of the ocean. SAYERS Nooo, God no....They took him, God nooo... ALBANO Call FRANK...get the sub down there. Tell FRANK they have shields, just like the Zetas said they would. SAYERS You could have stopped this. You could have prevented this...where's our government when we need you? We see the darkness in ALBANO'S eyes and the rest of the group. They are for the time being demoralized. FADE OUT: END OF ACT TWO ACT THREE FADE IN: INT. LOENGARD'S ROOM/MAJESTIC BULLPEN - NIGHT ALBANO'S on-line while KIM is held at bedside, in a state of shock. BACH Okay...we know an approximate location. ALBANO I'm telling you FRANK, we couldn't stop these things. They were protected by some type of forcefield or shielding. The bullets just went everywhere. BACH Call S-4 and get some answers. Enough dickering with these Zetas. I want answers. They've allied themselves with us, so it's time for them to come clean. Then have the sub start searching, get whatever you can out there. I want everything on these. If they're as much of a threat as the Zetas described, than we must stop them...at all costs. ALBANO What about the girl? BACH What about her? SHE knows too much. ALBANO We could have her committed. BACH No...SHE'S not our problem anymore. As far as STEEL goes..shoot him on sight. ALBANO hangs up the phone. HE turns to his henchmen. ALBANO Misses SAYERS. HE said you're free to go. SAYERS Go where? Her eyes filled with tears, irrational. SAYERS They took JOHN. ALBANO (emotional, sympathetic) Look..FRANK'S got bigger problems right now. But we're gonna make the effort...Now is there anything we can do..I hate to see a grown woman crying. SAYERS Get out...all of you just get out. (emotional yell) leave. SHE shoves ALBANO back. HE steps backwards almost falling, as one of the other's pulls a gun on her. ALBANO No, no...don't. Let's get going. SAYERS (screams) Get outtttttt.....! They quickly leave her, closing the door behind her. CUT TO: EXT. OUTSIDE LOENGARD'S ROOM - NIGHT ALBANO turns to one of the other Majestic agents. ALBANO Nothing worse than an angry woman. C'mon, we have work to do. BACH said to shoot STEEL on sight. CUT TO: EXT. TALLAHASSEE AIRPORT - SUNRISE A jetliner's making it's approach as the sun's rising from the East. There are high cumulous clouds off in the distance. CUT TO: INT. AIRLINE TERMINAL CUSTOMS - SUNRISE We see a tall blonde haired blue eyed Caucasian approaching with his luggage. HE pulls his passport out and sets it in front of the customs agent. CUSTOMS AGENT (suspicious of XENO) Norwegian huh. You look like a Russian to me. XENO (PLEIADIAN) (Russian style accent) I am not Russian...please, please I do not like being this Russian you call me. I vant to get this passport stamped. This is emergency. AGENT calls for security. CUSTOMS AGENT I'll bet it is...what's in the briefcase? XENO (PLEIADIAN) Tools..sales tools. CUSTOMS AGENT What are ya selling? XENO (PLEIADIAN) Please..I am here to... CUSTOMS AGENT Bring the dogs over here. (To XENO) Sir step away from the bags and give us the keys. XENO (PLEIADIAN) This is against all conventions... CUSTOMS AGENT Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could easily be a spy or terrorist for the Soviets. C'mon, let's open it. With that remark made, and the security people closing in, XENO drops his passport, grabbing the case. Then HE bolts, making a run for it. Security quickly gives chase, as they follow his path, leading through a crowd of people down the elevators, past the baggage claim checks. But as the PLEIADIAN makes his run for it, HE finds them closing in on his position. HE punches a security guard, then bolts for the open doors, as another security guard yells for him to stop. The guard squeezes a round off, nailing XENO in the upper left shoulder. But HE makes his getaway, leaving a trail of purple blood along the ground. CUSTOMS AGENT (to security guard) Call the city cops...damned communists. At least we'll trace his passport. See if my hunch was right. CUT TO: INT. TAXICAB - DAY XENO hands the driver the tip, as the driver pulls to the corner of the street. XENO gets out. CABBIE Thanks pal...You're a good tipper. XENO (PLEIADIAN) Thank you...this you are welcome. CUT TO: EXT. STREET CORNER, DOWNTOWN TALLAHASSEE FLORIDA - DAY XENO closes the door, briefcase in hand. The cab drives away. The bleeding isn't as bad anymore since HE'S bled all over the backseat of the cab. HE walks to the corner, then to a bar. CUT TO: INT. BAR Inside, seated at a table is KIM. XENO approaches her. SHE looks up at him, a sudden smile followed by surprise as SHE looks at his wounds. HE takes his finger placing it a quarter inch above the gunshot. Then HE concentrates a moment as it disappears, completely healed by the mystical force. SAYERS They got JOHN. XENO (PLEIADIAN) I sensed it. We must get him back. SAYERS Then JOHN'S still alive? XENO (PLEIADIAN) Yes...they have not yet harmed him. SAYERS There is another...who asks to help. HE has tried to kill us in the past. XENO (PLEIADIAN) I don't know of this other. SAYERS HE has one of those creatures in him, the one's we stopped on the Mesa that night. XENO (PLEIADIAN) They must feel threatened by the Reptilians...They may turn out to be powerful allies. SAYERS How? XENO (PLEIADIAN) Come, our time is short if we are to retrieve your mate. The both of them get up and exit the bar. CUT TO: EXT. PARKING LOT OF BAR - DAY SAYERS walks XENO to her truck. They both get in the vehicle, while a police car spots the PLEIADIAN. INTER CUT TO: INT. POLICE CAR - DAY The OFFICER radios in to dispatch. OFFICER Yep we have him. HE just entered a pickup truck, heading West towards the interstate. CUT TO: EXT. ON RAMP TO INTERSTATE - DAY SAYERS truck hangs a quick right onto the west bound lanes. The Police car pursues. XENO (PLEIADIAN) They have found me...give it, as you say... SAYERS The gas? XENO (PLEIADIAN) Yes is the gas please go quickly with this petrol. SAYERS I think HE'S chasing us. INTER CUT TO: EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY Both vehicles whiz by as the Police Car's lights and sirens go on. CUT BACK TO: INT. TRUCK - DAY XENO (PLEIADIAN) HE is catching up. SAYERS I don't know what to do. XENO (PLEIADIAN) Let go of the wheel. SAYERS If I do that, it'll crash. XENO (PLEIADIAN) For me it will work. XENO looks out the passenger window at the Policeman who is beside the vehicle. Both of them lock eyes a moment, then the cop shouts... OFFICER Pull the damned thing over now. XENO smiles politely, shrugs, as SAYERS lets go of the steering wheel. Suddenly, the truck steers hard right hitting the police car. The OFFICER manages to bring the car to the side of the pickup, this time pulling his gun. OFFICER (HE yells, angrily) I said pull it over. Once more XENO nods and smiles, this time, the pickup completely runs along the edge of the police car, until it is run off the road. CUT TO: EXT. HIGHWAY SIDE OF THE ROAD - DAY The OFFICER gets out of the car which has hit a stump, steam spewing from the radiator. OFFICER (to himself) Son of a bitches. CUT TO: INT. PICKUP TRUCK - DAY They continue driving as KIM veers off the main highway, onto a side road, heading South. SAYERS They'll come after us. XENO (PLEIADIAN) Don't worry, we will find another car. CUT TO: EXT. HIGHWAY 71 SCOTT'S FERRY, CAFE - DAY The two of them, SAYERS and XENO pull into a truck stop at a small cafe. They watch a tall blond man get out of a black Ford Mustang. XENO (PLEIADIAN) Let us go. SAYERS (stunned) We're stealing it? XENO (PLEIADIAN) Is good car, very fast. CUT TO: EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY They drive away in the vehicle, as the owner runs out fists waving, yelling at them. HE stands near the pickup, as cops cars screech to a halt. CAR THEFT VICTIM They stole my horse. OFFICER Cuff em boys, that's the man, this blonde guy. Son of a bitch ran me off the road. With a small struggle, they cuff the guy who's mustang got stolen. CAR THEFT VICTIM But it wasn't me. The other officers walk him to the awaiting police cars. CUT TO: INT. REPTILIAN COMPLEX SANITATION ROOM JOHN is seated, wrapped in a towel, hiding his genitals, as we see others around him, including the hooker who disappeared. The door suddenly opens and in walk three of the Reptilians. They stare at the five humans including JOHN. Then one of them points at the woman. Two of them take her, as JOHN and another man get up to fight them. But they are suddenly sedated in their tracks by the lead Reptilian, through a sort of mind control process. It's in the creatures eyes. Like a zombie, they all remain where they are except the woman they are taking. CUT TO: EXT. LOENGARD'S MOTEL ROOM - DAY Both KIM and XENO get out of the mustang, heading into the room. CUT TO: INT. LOENGARD'S ROOM They no sooner close the door, when JIM STEEL greets them. SAYERS You. STEEL KIM...I know you don't trust me, but we can still save JOHN. XENO (PLEIADIAN) And to what do you bargain for? STEEL BACH...Convince him to work with hive. SAYERS You know FRANK will never do that. STEEL You have to try. It means our extinction here, should the remaining Reptiles return from space. XENO (PLEIADIAN) As we speak, these ones prepare for them. STEEL Not if we destroy their base first. SAYERS I want JOHN. STEEL And I want BACH. A fair exchange, considering HE left you to chance. XENO (PLEIADIAN) And if SHE says no? STEEL Than we all lose, or at least for the time being, JOHN will die. (smiles pathetically) And I'll still get to BACH. KIM turns to face JIM. SHE hesitates a moment looking to XENO for direction. HE nods in agreement. SAYERS No promises, just that I'll try and get you two in touch, on even terms. STEEL I ask nothing else, KIM. The two of them shake hands in agreement. XENO (PLEIADIAN) KIM, I can't get a disk here in time. STEEL We have a mini sub. I'm expecting a friend of yours any minute now. JIM checks his watch. We hear the knock at the door. JIM goes and opens it. In steps DEP. JOHNNY DEP I told him not to go. SAYERS So you did. STEEL Are you sure you remember the underwater cavern entrance? JOHNNY DEP Scuba out there frequently. How many can your sub hold? STEEL Five people crammed. I don't know if we'll be able to surface with that many. XENO (PLEIADIAN) One of us will have to stay behind. CUT TO: INT. REPTILIAN COMPLEX SANITATION ROOM Again the three Reptilian's arrive and this time they take two men out, leaving JOHN and another man. Once more JOHN and the last man try to make it a struggle as their will is beginning to decrease. It's the demoralized, expressions upon their faces, that bring out their fears for the unknown. In the background we can hear the screams of the woman. CUT TO: EXT. DOCKS - DAY JOHNNY leads them to the minisub. It sits tied to the dock. STEEL looks at KIM a moment. STEEL We have a deal. SAYERS Without a doubt. XENO (PLEIADIAN) Your mates time grows short. And with those words, we detect a bit of possessive jealousy in STEEL'S eyes. JOHNNY DEP Hey guys, SHE'S gassed up. STEEL I guess I shouldn't be saying this, but KIM it might be best if you.. SAYERS (amused) Stayed behind? Maybe there is a little human left in you after all...Dream on. XENO (PLEIADIAN) Let us hurry..please. CUT TO: INT. REPTILIAN COMPLEX SANITATION ROOM They enter again, this time taking the man next to LOENGARD, as we hear more screams and yells in the background. FADE OUT: END OF ACT THREE ACT FOUR FADE IN: EXT. OCEAN - DAY We watch as the mini sub heads for the waters, beginning it's dive under the ocean's surface, disappearing beneath the waves. CUT TO: INT. MINI SUB All four of them are crammed in the mini sub. STEEL How long till we get there? JOHNNY DEP Five minutes or less. XENO (PLEIADIAN) We must hurry along. I sense some other problem that may kill all of us. CUT TO: INT. MAJESTIC BULLPEN - DAY BACH'S on the phone to ALBANO. BACH When? ALBANO Hour or less. They sent the sub from Guantanamo. Nuclear tipped torpedo. BACH It's pretty close to shore. ALBANO Tactical nuke, just a small explosion. We have the coast guard clearing the boats from the area right as we speak. BACH I don't want any Reptilian discs leaving into the sky. I'm sending the triangle out to patrol. ALBANO Just one? BACH It's twice as fast as the other discs. We don't need anything else up right now. The orange Zeta's being dispatched to Tehatchepi. I have a new project for it. Keep me posted on SAYERS and or STEEL. I've heard STEEL may have been spotted in the vicinity. ALBANO Shoot to kill...right? BACH Without a doubt. CUT TO: INT. MINI SUB XENO opens his briefcase. HE pulls out a plasma rifle, extending it. SAYERS They said the bullets wouldn't hurt these lizards. XENO (PLEIADIAN) This things will hurt them. STEEL I've seen what that can do. JOHNNY DEP A ray gun? STEEL It shoots hot plasma...disintegrate a person on contact. SAYERS How much longer? JOHNNY DEP (points) That's the cavern..right there. CUT TO: EXT. OCEAN FLOOR, UNDERWATER CAVE The mini sub enters through it. CUT TO: INT. CAVERN The minisub surfaces, the hatch opening on it, as XENO pops up through it, taking a shot at a stunned Reptilian. The creatures instantly turned to cinders. They all exit, to the rocks. XENO (PLEIADIAN) We must hurry. STEEL I'll guard the sub. SAYERS I thought you were a coward. XENO (PLEIADIAN) We must hurry. STEEL Don't take long. (hands JOHNNY his forty five with suppressor) Here, take this. JOHNNY DEP I guess I'm in for this one. Got a score to settle. KIM, XENO on lead and JOHNNY following them for backup, head down the tunnel. They descend deeper and deeper into the darkness. CUT TO: TUNNEL/COMPLEX As the trio rounds a corner, they are amazed at the white flooring and the rooms. It almost looks human built. XENO concentrates. Then HE leads them to the right side of the corridor. Suddenly a Reptilian comes face to face with him. It's eyes narrow. HE blasts it as the creature goes to hit an orange triangle on the wall. SAYERS That was close. JOHNNY DEP Think they heard us? XENO (PLEIADIAN) They suspect we are here. Come, this way. The threesome make their way down another corridor. The lighting seems to vibrate from the walls. There are no bulbs. The walls are all a glow. INTER CUT TO: INT. REPTILIAN COMPLEX SANITATION ROOM The doors slide open, and the three of them enter. JOHN wants to fight, but their mind control is preventing him. The two Reptilians take him, as the lead one gives him a stare of pure hatred for a moment. Then they escort him out. CUT BACK TO: INT. CORRIDOR As they walk JOHN, the threesome come across the Reptilians path. XENO takes a shot at the two on JOHN as KIM yells out in excitement. SAYERS JOHN, we're here. Suddenly, a Reptilian from behind, nails JOHNNY'S leg, as LOENGARD falls to the ground, SAYERS diving for him. DEP turns, falling from the pain, and unloads the clip into the Reptilian who shot him. But the bullets bounce from that creature, who shoots him again, disintegrating DEP on the spot. XENO off's the assaulting Reptilian, while KIM walks JOHN, who's half with it, to a corner of the hallway. XENO has the other two Reptilians pinned. JOHN kisses KIM. SAYERS I love you. LOENGARD Don't ever let me do something stupid like this again. How do we get out. XENO takes a shot in the arm. HE drops the gun. JOHN dives for it as the two Reptilians close in from behind. HE rolls, gun in hand, squeezing the rounds with deadly accuracy. The other two lizards fire in his direction while KIM pulls XENO behind a wall, just in time. XENO (PLEIADIAN) I know how to get out. (thinks a moment) Your friend's just run away in the sub. HE has left us here to die. JOHN nails the other Reptilian. HE closes on the lead Reptilian. There is a moment when the creature seizes for control of his mind. INTER CUT TO: CU: XENO'S FACE The PLEIADIAN is concentrating hard on JOHN CUT BACK TO: INT. HALLWAY JOHN marches the Reptilian from behind the corner. LOENGARD Move it. The Reptilian complies. XENO faces the Reptilian XENO (PLEIADIAN) I know it's coming. You may be powerful. But we are here to protect them...we must leave. Give me your thoughts. The two are face to face as XENO tries to probe the Reptilian's thoughts. HE then backs away from the creature, who stands in a trance like state. XENO (PLEIADIAN) This way, come...we can take their disc. SAYERS JOHN. The three of them beat a quick retreat through a corridor down a gloomy tunnel, to an open underground field. There are several discs there. The three of them board a disc. CUT TO: INT. DISC LOENGARD Know how to fly this? The last time we went through this scenario, the pilot died. XENO smiles a moment in pain, grasping his arm. XENO (PLEIADIAN) How do you Americans say...is piece of cake? HE works the counsel, closing the hatch, then lifts the craft into the air, as more Reptilians arrive. Suddenly, the roof of the large cavern turns transparent, while the water remains held in place by a forcefield. The disc shoots up into the ocean. CUT TO: EXT. MINI SUB IN OCEAN We see the mini sub being piloted by STEEL. CUT TO: EXT. OCEAN SURFACE - DAY To the amazement of on lookers, the disc shoots into the sky, heading west. From out of the sky, we see the black triangle closing fast. CUT TO: INT. DISC The counsel is flashing with a beeping sound. LOENGARD We've been through this before. SAYERS Not again. Can we contact FRANK BACH? XENO (PLEIADIAN) I will try. INTER CUT TO: INT. TRIANGLE DISK PILOT 1 Closing on target, particle weapons lock confirmed. CUT BACK TO: INT. DISC XENO (PLEIADIAN) Let us see him try this. CUT TO: EXT. OPEN SKY - DAY The disc shoots into space, leaving the triangle searching. DISK PILOT 1 Sorry central, HE lost us. CUT TO: INT. REPTILIAN CAVERN OF DISCS They are preparing to make ready to pursue when we... INTER CUT TO: EXT. OCEAN Tactical torpedo fired from sub. CUT BACK TO: INT. REPTILIAN CAVERN OF DISCS The discs are hovering. One gets out before we see an incredible... CUT TO: EXT. OCEAN FLOOR A miniature nuke explosion. But the one disc got away. CUT TO: EXT. FIELD IN MONTANA - DAY The disc is in the background as XENO holds KIM a moment in his arms. Then HE turns to JOHN. XENO (PLEIADIAN) I have to go now, get this to my people. I must inform them of the coming changes to your world. LOENGARD What changes? XENO (PLEIADIAN) They will come in droves to this planet. They will colonize the other worlds too. Then they will cause your people to grow in numbers, so they can feed on you. Just as they tried to feed on the Sirian world many years past. SAYERS How horrible. LOENGARD So...what do we do to stop them? XENO (PLEIADIAN) We all work together. SAYERS We are forever indebted to you. Will your arm be okay? XENO (PLEIADIAN) It already heals. Good bye. With that HE turns, leaves them and enters the disc flying away from their position. CUT TO: EXT. FLORIDA BEACH - DAY We see the damaged mini sub with STEEL aboard, either dead or out cold from the shockwaves, as it drifts onto the beach, rolled by the waves. CUT TO: EXT. AREA S-4 - DAY The one Reptilian disc blows the base to smithereens, destroying the hanger with the discs. It's firing light weapons all over the place, creating horrendous explosions. CUT TO: INT. MAJESTIC BULLPEN - DAY It's frantic as ALBANO approaches BACH. BACH How bad? ALBANO We're doing press coverage on the Vegas news now. BACH I asked how bad? ALBANO FRANK...Groom lake's a crater. Without warning the holographic image of the lead Reptilian appears right in front of them. REPTILIAN FRANK BACH? BACH Yes. REPTILIAN Retribution for those of us you killed. BACH We haven't even begun to fight. REPTILIAN That's because we are coming. Thirty billion of us. And you will feed our people, with yourselves. BACH (arrogance,braveness) Is that all you have to say? REPTILIAN That is all for now. BACH Well...let me reply. For every one of you that kills one of us, we will kill many of you. We won't stand for your invasion. It's called being human and having a will to survive. REPTILIAN Until next time...FRANK BACH. The Reptilian holograph disappears. CUT TO: EXT. FORMER GROOM LAKE AREA, NOW A CRATER - DAY The black triangle hovers a moment over the area, the pilot shocked at what HE'S seeing. DISK PILOT 1 Oh my God! CUT TO: INT. MAJESTIC BULLPEN - DAY ALBANO thinks a moment holding his chin. ALBANO We still have the Orange ZETA and the triangle out in the field. BACH Where's the triangle at? ALBANO S-4...HE would have returned to S-4 BACH (to ALBANO) Get the triangle back here. We have to start our think tank going. This is going to become a human effort, for all of us. CUT TO: EXT. FIELD IN MONTANA - DAY JOHN and KIM sit amongst the cat tails watching the blue sky. SAYERS Don't ever do anything stupid like that again. LOENGARD No, it will only be us. Always the two of us. SAYERS JOHN...STEEL left us to die. LOENGARD I'm not surprised. I always suspected HE'D run in battle. SAYERS I love you. The two of them embrace each other. OLD LOENGARD (V.O.) And with that said I realized something. How good it was to be alive, to see the changes occurring between us as people, even if there were Reptilian aliens on the way. I began to realize we had each other and the love we shared was all that mattered for everything else would work itself out, if we remained committed to each other. FADE OUT:
