Astro

- A round up of the latest developments

in the finding of a flying disc.

Late this afternoon a bulletin from New Mexico

suggested that the widely publicized mystery

of the flying saucers may soon be solved.

The Army may be getting to the bottom of all

this talk about the so called flying saucers.

As a matter of fact, the 509th atomic bomb group

headquarters at Roswell, New Mexico reports that it has

received one of the discs which landed on

a ranch outside Roswell,

when the rancher turned it over to the Air Force.

- This is Jesse Rowen with a breaking news alert.

Reports are in that space pioneer

and billionaire Alexander Biggs

left earth and departed for space unexpectedly.

What has led to this sudden departure?

And, why were none of the agencies informed?

Has he discovered something we're yet to find out?

Or, is he trying to get away from something?

There are many questions that need to be asked.

Or, is this just the end of fate as we know it?

I'm shocked, shocked.

I really miss my dad.

I need to find out what really happened.

I know he's still alive.

- There's no need to be afraid, Laura.

I'm not here to hurt you.

My name is Vivian, and I'm here to show you the way.

Happy birthday, Jack.

Time to wake up.

Hi, honey.

Father.

Hello Ramesh.

- 60 minutes right on the dot, sir.

- Well you know what they say, doctor.

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Right.

- So I take it the craft has arrived, yes?

Like clockwork, sir.

But, we've encountered an anomaly when the spacecraft

returned.

Now I've cryogenically frozen the specimen

but further testing has to be done

to understand its real consistency.

Come up here, sir.

Let me show you what we're working on.

This is incredible.

- Have you started DNA sequencing yet, doctor?

Yes sir.

No match as of yet.

The test is going to take a couple hours, Mr. Biggs.

Dr. Cope.

Sir?

Let's begin.

- Mr. Biggs, I have never seen a species

be able to turn his emotions on and off like this.

On one hand, he has shown signs of pure empathy,

and then on the other he's demonstrated

absolutely no emotions at all whatsoever.

It's almost like he's a biological mood ring.

- Well then I'd suggest you keep a close eye on him,

doctor.

We need to now as much as we can about this thing.

- We got a match on the DNA.

That's Jack Adams.

Are you recording this?

Yes, I am.

- Make sure we have no disturbances, okay?

Yes, sir.

We need everything.

Yes, sir.

Unbelievable.

Happy birthday, daddy.

Laura!

That's some pretty good shooting.

Thank you.

Whoa, what is going on here?

- Oh, I'm such a dork in the kitchen.

Sorry, daddy.

Don't worry about it, sweetie.

You're going to be a wonderful husband

to some lucky guy someday.

That's not funny.

- What do you say we start over on the food together?

- How 'bout you cook, and I'll wash.

Fair enough.

Hello?

What do we got here?

Mr. Adams.

You're trespassing.

Get off of my property.

Dad, what are you doing?

Jack.

Gorgeous place you got here, man.

Allen?

What the hell are you doing out here?

- Well, I heard there's a big Hee Haw style

birthday party going on out here with banjos,

and hayride, and line dances, and the whole shebang.

My God, is that Laura all grown up?

- That's what happens when you feed 'em.

- You know your father and I are friends from way back.

As a matter of fact, you used to call me uncle Al.

What do you want Allen?

- Well, judging by the tone you're not going

to invite me in for cake and ice cream after all.

Maybe we should take a walk, Jack.

Take care of this for me, hun.

- I'm working with our old friend from the unit,

Alexander Biggs.

You know he's made himself a billionaire

with his aerospace industries, right?

- How does a beer drinking grunt like Biggs

build an aerospace empire in less than 20 years?

- He's got something in mind for you

in the way of a birthday present.

- Well, that's good for him, but I think I'm gonna

have to pass.

I want to spend my 50th right here

with my 25 year old paint horse and my 19 year old daughter.

- Jack, he'd really like to see you.

Ever since he lost Sophia in the car accident,

him and the kid get really lonely this time of year.

It would mean a lot to him if you'd come

and just hang out with him for tonight.

- I'm gonna have to take a rain check, Allen.

- He told me I would have to beg.

Please Mr. Adams, he'll fire me if you don't come.

I swear to God.

Jack don't make me put my knee in the grass.

Will you get up?

Allen, you're embarrassing yourself, get up.

Get up.

You'll come?

Yeah, why not?

- You made me do that, come here.

It'll be fun, believe me.

It's nice working for Biggs.

- I guess a little reunion wouldn't hurt.

- Get the unit back together, right?

You gonna ask me in for ice tea or something?

- How 'bout some lemonade?

Jack Adams.

Look at you.

It's been a long time.

Yeah, it has.

And, happy birthday.

Thank you.

- You're looking crazy good at 50, man.

What the heck you been doing?

What can I say?

Clean living.

This is my daughter Laura Lee.

Laura.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Alexander Biggs.

She's grown up all beautiful, Jack.

This place is insane, Alex.

It is, huh?

Not bad for an ex-solider, huh?

But, I would tell you my friend there is so much more

to life than just all this.

Speaking of which, what do you say we fire up the grill?

Have us a barbecue?

Yes.

You're the host.
