نخستین 200 خط.
Okay, it was supposed to be so damn obvious.
Yeah, the only obvious thing is just how lost we are.
I guess it's supposed to be right about here.
No, we've been there.
Then we missed it.
Hodgson, I thought you knew this area.
Come on, give me a break.
Nobody comes out here. It's like Death Valley.
Yeah, what better kind of place to do this kinda shit.
Yeah, uh, just exactly what kind of shit am I driving to?
Well, I don't know exactly,
but I do know they got a lotta brass up there.
Uh, they've got a General Randolph
and there are a couple senators,
a Mayfield and a uh, Chambers.
Oh, well, they uh, got my vote.
Yeah, that's why you've got the pedal to the metal
in this heap out here.
Oh uh, I guess that's why guys like you
get demoted to uh, transportation detail.
I wonder if there's anybody who doesn't know that story.
Yeah. My mother.
Let's try that road we saw about three miles back.
All right, anything to get outta here.
That's it, there.
Hello, Cliff. What kept ya?
Jesus, man, they're gonna have your hides.
Well, we got delayed.
Is that Carter?
It's him all right.
Well you guys better get your butts up there
while you still got 'em.
Keep the faith, Cliff, and uh, keep away from the rocks.
Rattlesnakes, you know.
Why do they build a research laboratory
way the hell out here?
Gee, I don't know, Hodge.
Why do they detonate atomic bombs
out in the middle of nowhere?
The world is full mysteries. Keep driving.
Lisa?
Next card please.
All right.
Well, Miss Martyn?
Yellow.
I beg your pardon?
Yellow.
The sun, the card is the sun.
You're right. You're right again.
This is ridiculous.
That will be fine, Lisa.
I didn't come 500 miles
to see this kind of freak show nonsense.
Well, you must admit, she does have something going here.
While I'm sure Miss Martyn does not view herself
as any sort of freak,
she does possess keen psychic impulses
of an extraordinary manner.
You will note that the incidence of correct prediction
was 100%.
How long have you had this ability?
Since I was 18.
Does that age have any bearing on all this?
Well, at 18, I was involved in a very bad accident.
They gave me Genatron, an experimental drug
to aid in the healing process.
How Lisa achieved her present consciousness
is not so important, as to what this new level
of psychic phenomena is going to be channeled into.
I mean, I didn't bring you gentlemen here
just to see a simple little card trick.
Get to the point. Why are we here, Dr. Williams?
This simple diversion merely illustrates
the level of awareness with which we are working.
So what's the bottom line, doctor?
I understood that it dealt with de-materialization.
No, not so much de-materialization
as it is matter transfer.
I think we lost 'em.
With the help of Miss Martyn,
and the equipment you see here,
I am able to reassemble matter,
physical material from an unknown dimension.
You mean you can reach into another world,
grasp an object, and bring it back here, to this lab?
Well, in a roundabout way,
that's exactly what we're doing.
This is preposterous, a clear waste of government money.
I'll admit it does sound rather far-fetched.
I don't suppose you'd care to demonstrate this, this claim?
I am prepared to do that at this time.
Well then by all means, let's get on with it.
That is exactly what I had in mind.
My assistant is in the field now,
locating a break in our antenna cable.
How long will that take?
Well, I'm going to check into that now.
It should only take a couple minutes. If you'd excuse me.
Oh Richard, this is Dr. Williams, do you read me?
Loud and clear, doctor.
Have you located the trouble?
I think so.
How long before it's in working order?
Give me five minutes and you can hit the power.
Excellent. Good work, Richard.
I'll see you when I get back. Over.
Over and out.
Afternoon, general.
Connor, where the hell have you been?
Sorry, sir, we got lost.
Hodgson, I asked for you because I was told
you had Indian in you and you knew this area very well.
Sir, there haven't been Indians in this area
for hundreds of years.
Sounds like somebody's been doing their job.
Damn straight, private.
I hope we are not interrupting anything here.
Who is this man?
No, you're just in time for the show.
General Randolph, I want to know who these men are.
These men are here as escorts for any material
that might culminate from these proceedings.
I'd like that clarified, if you don't mind.
Well, papers, equipment, documents,
and even yourself if I feel it's important.
The government wants to know what's going on up here?
Yeah. - And we're gonna show them.
That is, if there's anything to see.
Since you came in on the end of our discussion,
Mr. Carter, I think it would be simpler if you just
observed our experiment.
Thank you.
Surprised to see me, Carter?
No, I thought I smelled something
when I came in the room.
Yeah, watch your mouth, sonny,
they don't bust 'em any lower than where you're headed.
You wanna know something, Reiger?
What?
Your deodorant ain't gettin' the job done.
That's your finger, Connor. I know your girlfriend.
This device makes it possible to amplify Lisa's brainwaves
as she attempts to channel them.
A meeting of man and machine.
Woman and machine.
In as simple jargon as I can put it,
her mental energy will receive and transmit
to this location, anything her mind can attract.
This, I've got to see.
Well, this will all seem easier to grasp
after you've witnessed this demonstration.
Ready?
Ready.
I must ask for silence during this experiment.
Miss Martyn's ability to concentrate
is of the utmost importance.
Dr. Williams? Dr. Williams, come in?
There's a delay. I need more time.
Is anybody there?
I think she's had enough.
You all right?
Lisa?
I'm okay. Just, give me a minute.
That's the most incredible thing I've ever seen
in my life.
Yes. I think we've seen history here today.
Almost a spiritual experience.
Shit.
This is what we brought in last night.
I wonder what this is?
It looks like a container of some sort.
Almost like a trunk or something.
Yeah, I wonder what's inside.
Maybe we could get it open.
No, no, nobody's opening this.
It's going into the van, untampered with.
Surely you don't mean that?
This is going back for examination with me.
Maybe there's another one of these inside.
Yeah, alive.
This should tell you one thing.
What's that?
We're definitely dealing with some form
of intelligent life.
One thing else is probably true too,
and that is, whatever made that little statue,
did not make that high-tech piece of luggage.
Are you all, are you all right, Miss Martyn?
Uh, I'm much better.
That's quite a demonstration, Dr. Williams.
I feel sure we can reassure you of any future funding needs.
Shh. There's something here.
I can almost hear it.
I can almost feel it. I, but it's so vague, nebulous.
You're tired, Lisa. You must rest.
No, I want to stay with it.
There's a force here. I just can't reach it.
Reiger and Carter, get this thing into the van.
Come on, let's get rolling.
You're making a big mistake here.
