Zarkorr! The Invader (1996) - full transcript
An "average" postal worker is informed by a tiny alien hologram which looks like a teenage girl that he is the "choosen one" to destroy a giant reptile to save the Earth.

- [Voiceover] Yeah
that's what he tells me.
- [Voiceover] What is that?
(explosions)
- Avalanche.

- Tommy, we've got to talk.
- Uh.
- Tommy hello.
- You can't be real.
- I'm real but I'm not solid.
Actually I'm a mental
image being projected
directly into the visual
and auditory centers of your brain.
Nobody but you can see or hear me.
Hey.
- Then why are you here?
- You've been selected by a coalition
of intelligent species
in the galaxy to defend your planet
against an invader.
If you fail,
you and your entire
civilization will be destroyed.
Understand?
- Okay.
(eerie music)
And I'm supposed to believe this?
- [Girl] Yup.
- So you're from some extremely
advanced civilization,
is that right?
- That's right.
- Well how come you look like
a tiny teenage mall tramp?
- Well it's simply a
conventionalized projection
designed to look familiar
and unthreatening.
- So if you're from an
advanced civilization
can I ask you some questions?
- Well some things I cannot tell you,
but I'll do my best.
- All right.
All right what's the meaning of life?
- There is no meaning.
It's just a coincidental outcome
of the particular quanto
crystallization of our universe.
- Is there life after death?
- No.
- I mean does our spirit,
our consciousness continue
to exist even after the death
of our physical bodies?
- No.
- Does Wendy Physcs really like me?
- No, she's using you to
make Arnie Beckworth jealous.
She's also been sleeping
with George Winston
on the side in order to get
better work assignments.
- I knew it, damn her.
Look this is completely ridiculous,
I'm sorry and pardon me for saying so
but why in the world
would a galactic whatever
pick me to defend the earth?
I mean there'd have to be a lot of people
better suited for this particular job.
- Oh sure, half.
- I'm sorry.
- Exactly half of the people on the earth
are better suited to defeat
the invader than you.
And exactly half are worse.
You're dead in the center.
That's why we selected you.
- So who's this invader?
- You mean you don't know.
- Why should I know?
It's been on every channel.
Except for the possible
exception of the cartoon network.
Go ahead and switch,
you'll see.
- Stan Chambers here,
reporting on the Aurora Mountain disaster,
we're having trouble with
our live transmission feed
from Aurora Valley.
For you viewers who just tuned in
we're in the middle of
a truly amazing story.
- Well amazing's the word Stan,
a gigantic animal,
of apparently prehistoric
origin has somehow emerged
from the side of Mount Aurora,
in Aurora County California.
Now the animal of unknown species
we understand is currently
making its way in
a north to north easterly direction
but already it's caused massive damage
even loss of life in
the Aurora Valley area.
- Just one moment Elizabeth.
We do have an update,
Governor Bill Wilkins has called out the
California national guard
and the forces are moving
into the Aurora Valley area.
- Stan I'm getting word
now that we're getting back
to our live feed,
so I think we should switch
live to Marty Carlson
right in the Aurora Valley.
- Stan, Elizabeth,
I am standing on main street in front
of the county court
house in what used to be
the heart of Aurora County.
It is now a virtual ghost town.
The entire Aurora Valley
has been ordered evacuated.
This is due entirely to a
unprecedented natural disaster.
The cause a single incredibly
destructive animal.
What you are hearing now from behind me
is the sound of that animal as it moves
through the center of town
literally knocking buildings down
as it advances.
It appears to be heading
in this direction,
I,
I don't know how much longer
we'll be able to (screaming).
- Oh, oh Stan something
appears to be so wrong.
- We are apparently having
some transmission problems.
We'll get back to Marty
just as soon as we can.
- [Voiceover] Across
America starting at ...
- We'll be bringing you
that interview in full
in just a little while.
Once again this is Debbie Delverson
coming to you from WRPT here in New Ark.
Bringing you the latest in that terrifying
story on the west coast.
Right now we have Dr Stephanie Martin
from the university of Trenton.
She is a Crypto Zoologist,
she's an expert in the study
of unknown animal life.
Thank you Dr Martin for being with us.
- It's my pleasure.
- So what, is the deal here?
Is this a dinosaur
that's come back to life?
- Well I know that it's being
referred to as a dinosaur
by the popular media but in a word,
no.
As you can see there are a
number of characteristics
that make it very unlikely
that this animal is a dinosaur.
Well you'll notice the human like arms
and the structure of the skull
and then of course the size of the animal
which is far larger than any
(mumbles) animal known to science.
Or even really considered
to be possible by science.
- But don't you think
this could be a species
that's not known by science?
- Well no not really.
Well in fact it's impossible that
a dinosaur could have been
living inside of Mount Aurora
for 65 million years.
You see Mount Aurora is only
around 22 million years old.
In fact Mount Aurora was
formed by alluvial deposits
that were made--
- Thank you Dr Martin.
- Let's show you that footage again.
(static hissing)
- We'll be staying on the
air to keep you updated
on this amazing story.
A terrible visitor from
some lost prehistoric world
alive in Southern California.
- Monster (speaking in
a foreign language).
- It is clearly well over 180 feet tall,
which in fact would make
it by far the largest
animal in the world.
Far more massive than even the blue whale.
Well which would make it very unlikely
that this is a dinosaur
or any creature evolved
here on earth.
- [Voiceover] Thank you Dr
Martin so much that information.
- Could you turn the sound down?
- [Debbie] Once again
this is Debbie Dolverson
coming to you ...
- Are you okay?
(ominous music)
- Yeah,
yeah great.
Swell.
- Are you functional now?
Can you listen to me?
- Yeah, yeah I'm listening.
- Okay ground rules first.
Zarkorr cannot be defeated.
- Zarkorr,
who's Zarkorr?
- That's the invader.
Zarkorr.
Now Zarkorr cannot be
defeated by any earthly
weapon utilized or,
here write this down.
I can only tell you this once,
so it's important that
you get it straight.
- I have a tape recorder.
- I'm speaking directly
to your cerebral cortex.
What good is a tape recorder going the be?
- Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Point one,
Zarkorr cannot be defeated
by any earthly currently
utilized or in development by
any armed force on the earth.
Understand?
- What about nuclear weapons?
- Nothing, nada.
Not guns, tanks, A bombs,
H bombs, anthrax bombs,
slingshots, swords, sharp sticks,
poison gas nothing that
is currently utilized
or under development by any
armed force on the earth.
- Right got it.
- However the means do
exist to defeat the invader.
They exist here on earth,
and they can be found and utilized by you,
within the limited time frame available.
- What do you mean limited time frame?
- That's the next point.
Zarkorr has been designed
to hone in on you
and is currently making his way to you
by the shortest route possible.
So if you're thinking
about dodging the mission
by running away, this would
be a very temporary solution.
Zarkorr would track you down.
Where ever you ended up, he'd kill you.
You cannot hide from Zarkorr.
Got it?
- Got it.
But how am I supposed to kill it?
- Next point.
Your course of action
is strictly up to you.
You can use whatever
resources you can find,
technical resources, scientific resources,
human resources.
Other than what I'm telling you now
we can offer you no assistance whatever.
Write it down.
- Yeah, no assistance whatever.
Look I'm sorry but
I thought superior beings were
supposed to be morally superior.
I need to tell you something there
is nothing moral about this,
this is totally immoral.
You cannot do this to me,
or us.
The human race.
- We're superior beings,
so our moral code allows us to do
whatever we want to do to you.
- Great what else?
- Well, um, that's really about it.
Oh one hint
Zarkorr contains the key
to his own destruction.
So uh, good luck.
Bye.
Oh one other thing that
I'm allowed to tell you
the faster you undertake positivity action
against the invader, the
greater the chances of success.
Bye.
- How in Gods name am I supposed
to fight a 180 foot dinosaur?
(dramatic music)
(growling)
(dramatic music)
(explosions)
(screeching)
(dramatic music)
(crickets chirping)
(incoherent talking)
- Okay people we'll be
back in two minutes.
- Oh god.
Do we have any new footage
or anything.
What am I supposed to say?
So where's the Crisco zoologist?
Huh, huh.
- In wardrobe.
- Excuse me can you tell me where
the wardrobe department is?
- It's in the corner over that way.
- Thanks.
- Is she a bore or what?
And then I try to get her to shut up
and she just keeps going on and on and on.
(banging)
- Oh, sorry.
- Wait you're the expert, right?
- Yeah I guess.
- I need to talk to you.
It's very important.
- Okay well look I got to be
back on the air in a couple
of seconds maybe--
- No it's very important.
I mean extremely important.
Unbelievably important.
- Who are you exactly?
Do you work here?
- No I don't I saw you on TV
so I came down here to find you.
- I don't think you're
supposed to be back here.
- No I'm not.
I know that but I need to talk to you.
Look this is not easy for me,
I don't know how to say this.
- Are you a mail man?
- No, I'm not a mail man,
i'm a postal employee
there's a difference.
- Oh right.
- No, no, no it's very urgent.
You need to listen to me right now.
- Oh my god,
if you touch me I will scream.
- I'm not going to touch you.
I don't want to touch you,
I just want to talk to you.
Listen I know what I'm about
to say is going to sound crazy,
but I'm not crazy,
really I'm not.
You've got to listen to me.
I was contacted by an alien
a while ago,
actually she looked like
a tiny little mall tramp,
but she said that was
just a mental projection.
She told me that I'm the
one who's been chosen
to defeat Zarkorr.
- Zarkorr.
- Zarkorr right,
that's the name of the monster, Zarkorr.
And I'm the one that's
been chosen to defeat him.
- Oh my god.
- But I don't know how.
So I came down here to find you.
Listen can't we go somewhere and talk
please.
- Help.
- Security to stage eight.
- [Dr Martin] Help me.
- [Tommy] Please don't scream.
- There's a crazy post man over here.
- What's the deal here,
what's happening.
Oh are we on?
(screams)
- What the hell's going on there?
- We've got a problem down here.
Can someone tell me what's happening?
Please.
- Oh Christ.
- Over here,
down that way.
- Just stay away from me.
I just want to talk to her.
- Okay everybody back off.
- He's crazy, would
you get me out of here.
- Okay back off everyone.
Clear a way.
Go on back off out of the way.
- This isn't turning out like I expected.
- Okay mister we don't
want anyone to get hurt.
- Listen I know this is hard to explain,
but you just can't take me to jail
it's impossible.
- Oh we won't take you to jail.
- Yeah right we're only authorized
to escort you off the property.
So why don't you put down the C stand
and just go on about your business.
- Look I'm not crazy and
I'm not stupid either.
- Okay I believe you,
you're not stupid.
In that case I believe
you know what this is.
This is a gun.
Put down the C stand
or I will take this gun and shoot you
and then you will die.
- Shoot him.
Just shoot him,
just shoot him.
- Please excuse me lady I've got the
situation under control here.
(gasping)
Okay fella what's it going to be?
- See, there you go.
No problem.
Okay everybody.
- Drop it.
Drop the gun,
drop it and then back away.
- Don't do it,
look it's all my fault.
Joe just shoot him.
Shoot through my body.
- Don't try it,
you get back in the corner.
(ominous music)
- What is going on here?
- Just get out of here.
- Right the police are out front.
- Did you hear that mister?
The police are here,
what are you going to do now?
- You listen to me drop
the gun on the floor
and kick it over here.
Right now.
- You're doing something really stupid.
- You do something smart
and give me that gun
or I'll start shooting.
I'm not kidding.
- Okay.
- Don't do it.
- Get up.
Back off.
Come on.
I need you to help me.
I won't hurt you, but I'm
not leaving here without you.
Back off.
Come on walk.
Walk.
You're going to be all right.
I'm not going to hurt you, I promise.
Back off.
(screaming)
- [Dr Martin] Let go of me.
- I'm sorry.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it you just need to talk to me.
I just need your help.
Stop it.
(panting)
This is a disaster.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
- Just stay calm everything
is going to be okay.
- Everything's going to be okay?
What are you nuts?
I told you that...
(police sirens)
Skip it, we're doomed.
That's it I'm going to
end up in a nut house
or in a jail somewhere
until Zarkorr comes along
and squashes me and then
destroys the whole world.
- No, no, no I want the
building evacuated now.
- Look all I'm asking for us
is to keep one of our
guys with a minicam here,
I mean this is major news.
- Excuse me, excuse me but does the
word no mean anything to you?
- Look all I'm say--
- Excuse me but does the word
now mean anything to you?
- Okay, okay but this is
an abuse of authority.
- Look I want this building emptied out
and I want it emptied out now.
Thank you.
(dramatic music)
- This whole thing is my fault.
Let me get in there and I'll tackle him.
- No.
- Hey you guys got a
swat team or something?
- Can you believe this?
And all because you're
a reasonable person.
And this whole thing
is totally ridiculous.
I'm going to save the world.
What a joke.
- No, no, no, I believe you.
I mean why shouldn't you be
the one to save the world?
- You had your chance.
If you're going to patronize
me at least do a better
job of it.
- All right don't you guys want to wait
for some backup units?
- Excuse me, but was that
advice you were offering me?
- Sorry.
- Look you planning on taking over
or planing this operation?
- No, no I wasn't planning that.
Sorry.
- You two guys get lost.
Come on let's go check this guy out.
(dramatic music)
- Okay right look,
the remote trucks are
being set up in the front.
- What about getting a camera in here?
- Don't worry about it
our lawyers are taking
care of everything now.
With any luck they'll
be doing this all day.
- Oh please, please.
Oh yes, yes.
(dramatic music)
- [Voiceover] Police open up.
- Go away.
- Open up in there.
- Don't try anything.
I'm armed and I have a hostage.
- He's a postal worker.
- Okay, look everything will be all right.
- Another optimist.
Excuse me would you mind
coming over here a minute?
- Me, why?
- Because I want to use
you as a human shield.
And I'm armed and dangerous.
Now do you mind please.
Now.
Now I want you to open up the door.
Just a little bit,
very slowly.
That's enough.
Okay guys listen up I
want you to back away.
You're making me very nervous.
- I'm backing up.
Okay, now how's that?
- A little bit further.
Please.
- There, now can we talk?
- Guys, yeah I guess so.
- So what's the problem?
- Guys I know how bad this looks,
but I'm not crazy.
I don't have any grudges,
I don't want to hurt anybody.
I'm just an average guy.
But something happened to me this evening.
I can't prove it,
I know that.
But you gotta listen to me please.
This monster,
this thing that appeared in California
is not a dinosaur or a
mutation or anything like that.
It's from outer space.
It's a kind of test.
It's a test of the human race.
No army can stop it.
No weapons, no H bombs, nothing.
I know, I've been told.
I was visited.
An alien being appeared
to me this evening.
At first I didn't believe it
but she told me about the
monster before I saw it on TV.
So I knew it had to be real.
And she told me that I've
been chosen to defeat Zarkorr.
That's the name of the monster.
And she told me that I'm the only one
who can do it.
So if you lock me up that
would be the end of everything.
This monster will home
in on me and kill me.
And then destroy all human civilization.
- Why is it exactly that
this alien picked you to defeat Zerkonian.
- Zarkorr.
Because I'm the median human,
I'm dead average.
Look I know how totally
unsuited I am for this job.
I mean I've only been
at it an hour and a half
and I'm already about to be shot.
Or locked up in a nut house or jail
but I didn't say I was any good at it.
But I'm the one they picked.
Please, please.
- Larry I believe him.
- Yeah right.
Yeah I believe him too.
- No, no you don't understand
I'm not trying to fool him
I really do believe him.
- What?
- Don't you know what's been going on?
With UFO's.
They've been watching us for centuries.
I mean look at the evidence.
Abductions, cattle mutilations.
They're all around us.
- George.
- I mean you have to look at the evidence.
And if an alien civilization
can cross trillions
of miles of space who says
they can't create a monster.
- George just calm--
- I mean what other explanation is there?
- George go to the patrol car now.
- No Larry I'm serious.
How else can you explain a
giant monster just appearing
like this?
It makes sense that the other
civilizations in the galaxy
would be testing us.
What if he's telling the truth?
If we lock him up it could
mean the end of civilization.
- George can we talk about this later?
- Larry you know I respect you.
- Oh my god.
- But I'm afraid I'm going
to have to take your gun.
- George have you gone
totally and completely
and in every other way out of your mind?
I'm not going to let you do this.
- Larry I love you like an older brother
but I've got to go with my gut.
And if you don't give me that gun
I'll be forced to shoot ya.
- George you're throwing away your career.
- Dammit civilization is at stake.
Okay I'm counting.
Five--
- Please let's talk about this George.
- Four.
Three.
Two.
- Okay, okay take it.
- If I come out of this thing alive
so help me god I am going to sue
the New Ark police department
and I will bankrupt you.
- Lady that's really top
one on the list of my
current problems right now.
- Larry get your hands up.
Assume the position against that wall.
Now move it.
- [Larry] George.
- Look I'm sorry about this Larry
but we're going to need
some get away time.
(mumbling)
Larry cut it out.
You're going to strain your throat.
Look we better get out of here.
Backup should be coming any second.
We taking her?
- Yes.
- Right.
- Well let's see if we can find a back way
out of this place.
Stay behind me.
Anybody start shooting,
get down.
- Okay.
Lets go.
Don't scream or he'll shoot ya.
- Where exactly are you taking me?
- I don't know.
I haven't figured that out yet.
(dramatic music)
(mumbling)
- [Dr Martins] Let go of me now.
I told you look there
is no way out of here.
- Sorry lady that's my squad car.
Put her in the back.
- [Dr Martins] Let go.
(dramatic music)
(police sirens blaring)
(screeching)
(explosions)
(dramatic music)
(screeching)
- I'm sorry what's your name?
- George.
- George you got a radio or anything?
- Yeah here hold on.
- We need to get some news on this thing.
- Yeah it's right down there.
- Be careful with that it's Larry's.
- I will.
- [Voiceover] And all national guard units
have been completely wiped out.
Reports indicate the Aurora
monster has proven invulnerable
to attacks by bazooka teams,
stinger missiles and heavy artillery.
Hold on we're going remote.
- [Voiceover] Hello this is Loyd Ink,
I'm stationed with the
national guard command post
on the side of Mount Tiko
we can the monster
around a mile away moving
up the valley due east directly toward us.
As we've reported before the
president has given special
authorization for air force
bombers to undertake an assault
against the monster with Napalm bombs.
We can hear the aircraft moving in now.
Hold on, there they go.
The valley is exploding in fire.
God what a sight huge
balls of fire exploding
one after the other.
We can see the monster burning
in the middle of the flames.
The whole forest is on fire all around it.
I can't quite see anything
through the smoke right now
I think the monster's gone down.
Jesus Christ no he's still coming
it hasn't even been touched.
It's shooting lightning
bolts from its eyes.
The planes are being blown
from the skies one by one.
(dramatic music)
- Can we talk now?
- This isn't possible.
Nothing on earth could
survive something like that.
- Look even if you don't
believe me you're here,
you're stuck.
Let's just pretend that
I'm telling the truth,
now this alien told me certain things,
hold on,
let's assume for the sake of a argument
that all this is true, okay.
Okay?
- Fine.
- Now this is what she said.
She said Zarkorr can't be defeated by
any earthly weapon currently being used
or under development by
any armed force on earth.
That includes nuclear weapons,
chemical weapons, everything.
Look the way I see it is this,
this whole thing is layed out
so that I'm the only one who
can figure this thing out
and if it's not me,
then it's nobody.
Does that make sense?
- Makes perfect sense to me.
- Yeah okay me too.
- I don't know what the
hell I'm supposed to do.
The thing is the alien said
that it can be destroyed
and there is a way for me to find out how.
But I just have to figure it out
and that's why I came to get you,
to find you.
I need more information.
I need to find out more about Zarkorr.
I need your help.
Please.
I can't force you to cooperate.
- Could probably force her.
- No please, just think for a minute,
you said it yourself
it's not from this earth.
Now if this monster came from outer space
and that much is true,
then why not the rest?
- He convinced me.
- Oh god I got to think.
- [Voiceover] Any unit in the vicinity
we have a 417 in progress
one officer held hostage.
- Yeah we may have to think on foot,
they just found Larry
they're looking for us.
- What do we do now?
- Well we're going to
have to take a chance
that we don't get spotted for
another five minutes or so.
Now I can hide the squad
car where it won't be found
but after that we're
pretty much on our own.
I mean I don't have any other wheels handy
we're just gonna have to hoof it.
- Okay,
(dramatic music)
let's do it.
(dramatic music)
- Why do I get the feeling
that the rest of my life
is going to be just like this?
- Where can we go?
- Well I can think of three
places where we can't go.
Your place, my place and her place.
Any other ideas.
- Not that I can think of.
You're the expert.
- Uh huh, you are.
Where we go kind of depends
on what you wanna do.
- God.
- Look you've been chosen,
read the bible Moses
didn't like it either.
That's life.
- She said that Zarkorr contained the key
to his own destruction.
That was a hint.
- No it's a tautology.
Okay everything contains the
key to it's own destruction.
- [Tommy] She said it was a hint.
- What the hell's a tautology?
- It can't be just that she
made a big point out of it.
She said Zarkorr contains the
key to his own destruction.
And whatever that key is it's
something that the government
can't find and the military
isn't going to find,
only I can find it.
But what the hell could it be?
(dramatic music)
Look,
look I need your help.
And if I can't have it
then there's no point in me
dragging you around with me.
Either way I'm not going to hurt you.
I'm not dangerous.
And I'm not crazy either.
You tell me if Zarkorr
didn't come from outer space
then where the hell did he come from?
- I don't know.
No it is not from earth, it can't be.
It's totally ridiculous,
but it can't be.
You're right.
- I don't know if you can help me,
but right now you're all I've got.
- What am I supposed to do?
There is no such thing as
an expert in alien life.
- Are you going to help me or not?
- Okay, I know a place we can go.
Here.
- Maybe I am crazy,
everyone seems to be
acting as if I'm crazy.
It doesn't make much sense,
I mean why'd they pick me?
I don't know she said it's
because I'm the average guy
but that sounds crazy.
Then this little thing she just vanished
and I had no idea what to do next
but she left me a list of
stuff that I was supposed
to keep in mind.
And then I saw Stephanie on TV
so I went down to the
station to try to talk to her
because she's an expert
but she wouldn't believe
me so I had to force her
to believe me and then
George finally did believe me
but the police are looking for us.
And we had to hide the patrol car
so they wouldn't find us.
And we took a bus--
- Hey man this isn't funny.
- Noway don't pay attention to him okay,
it's a nervous habit
(laughing)
- So you want me to help you destroy this,
this Zarkorr?
- [George] Christ let's get out of here.
- No, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
It's cool, it's cool, it's cool.
It's surreal.
It's cosmic.
I like it.
I like it, oh yeah.
It's cool, it's cool.
- So can you get us the
information we need?
- Arthur can get anything he's a hacker.
Actually he'd be in jail right now
if he hadn't erased
his own indictment file
from the DA's database.
- Excuse me Stephanie not hacker.
Hacker is a demeaning term,
I prefer cyber-naught.
- Cyber naught.
- As in a sailor through cyber space.
Okay hold on now.
Hold on.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm writing a little program here
which is going to search for
any references to Zarkorr
on the net.
However we have to limit
ourselves a little bit
because we don't care what any ordinary
schmucks have to say,
do we?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We're looking for labs,
military data coms,
pentagon feeds, university chit chat.
Here let's try a little bit
of encrypted satellite info,
that usually turns you the goodies.
So are you two going out?
Are you two?
What about you two?
Any combinations of (mumbles)?
No, oh.
So you work for the post office huh.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
Cool.
(laughing)
Okay we've got to let this
baby compile a little bit
and see what she comes up with.
So you got a girlfriend?
- No not really.
- Oh so you,
you go to prostitutes huh?
- No.
- I'll bet he does.
- I see what you mean about social skills.
- It only gets worse.
- Stephanie here lost
here virginity to her
literature professor.
Barnard.
When I was a kid I tapped
her home phone line
and she called him up,
they talked all about it.
- Shut up.
- You wanna listen to the tape?
- Arthur shut up.
- How long's it going to
take for the data to come up?
- It'll take awhile.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll take awhile.
It'll take awhile, but it's cool,
it's okay, you guys
you guys could hide out here.
I could order lunch.
But I'm not going to pay for yours.
You got to pay for it yourself.
Anybody feel like Mexican?
I live off of the disability and interest
that I got from this
money I won in a law suit
from this kid, this kid from (mumbles)
he hit me with his motor scooter,
he crippled me.
Crippled me for life.
But he was a rich kid.
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me.
- [Voiceover] (mumbles) to
the federal court on behalf
of the United Environmental defense fund
to seek an injunction to
prevent further aggressive
against the Aurora monster.
- That's right all the
evidence we have indicates
that this animal,
and we don't like to call it a monster,
is completely unique.
It's one of a kind and it's our position
that it falls under the protection
of the endangered species act.
- But Mr Bergman this animal has caused
hundreds of fatalities and caused millions
of dollars of property damage.
- That is not relevant to
the (mumbles) in question
they do not distinguish
between dangerous animals
and benign ones.
And let me jut add one more thing
that the actions already
taken against this animal
including the use of napalm
in the Mount Tiko Valley,
which is just unbelievable.
But not only my guess have
already fatally injured
the Aurora animal but it
most certainly will have
profound negative consequences
for the red tipped
dwarf owl which lives only in that region.
- Is that so.
- Okay, okay, here I come.
Here I come get ready.
Okay, okay okay
these are the first stacks of hard copy,
there's more on the way a lot more.
More on the way.
(dramatic music)
- Okay let's start saving the world.
(dramatic music)
(screeching)
(explosions)
- Energy, energy that's all it really is.
- [Voiceover] Laser light
doesn't leave footprints.
- Well you see that's the problem.
If this technology's so
far advanced of ours then
it's impossible to say what it could do.
This thing doesn't eat,
it doesn't bleed,
it doesn't breathe.
It can't be hurt by any
kind of material defense
so how do you shoot a beam of light?
- How do you?
- You hit the off switch.
- No, no, no no that makes sense.
- Look there isn't going
to be any off switch okay,
or whatever that means.
If they could make this thing
then they could certainly
make the switch inaccessible.
- Of course that's the point.
If they wanted to destroy the earth
that's what they would have done.
But they need to make the means
of destroying this monster
accessible to me.
- And not anybody else.
- No no one else is going
to think of an off switch.
They're not going to
bother to look for it.
How can they know what we know?
- But it could be anywhere.
It could look like anything.
- Look last night this monster
came out of that mountain
and some time before that
it must have been turned on.
Generated, brought to life, whatever.
That's where we need to look,
that's where the switch was flipped.
We need to see what
happened in the mountain
at the time that the monster appeared.
When they first turned it on.
- Say no more,
say no more,
say no more.
I am on it.
I am on it.
You want your weather data,
you want your satellite photos.
You want your seismic reports.
You want your radar anomalies.
I got it, got it, got it.
Warning, warning, warning.
Come on get back.
Get out of my way.
Okay, okay.
This is cool okay we're
starting at eight pm
and we're wining our way
through the seismic data.
It will stop at the first
indication of seismic activity.
There it is at 8:18 pm.
You see it?
It only gets progressively worse.
And there it is, there it
is at 10:03 pacific time.
- Go back to the beginning.
- Yeah what was that?
That was it.
That's when it was turned on
or implanted or whatever at 6:23.
It must have taken a few
hours for it to charge
or grow large enough to
appear again at 8:18.
- But what do we do with it?
- We have to look for
something else that happened
at the same time.
At the moment that spark
appeared in the mountains
something else must have happened.
If I'm right.
- I'm checking,
I'm checking, checking, checking
clear the way, clear
the way, clear the way.
Okay satellite data.
No, no 6:25.
High pressure center.
No no change, no change, nothing, nothing.
Wait.
Military radar.
Top secret for my eyes only.
I'm just kidding.
Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait
I gotta break a few codes.
Um.
- What?
- We're in violation of federal law.
- Big deal.
- Oh yeah, did you ever see
that movie with Linda Blair?
When she's in a women's
prison and they (mumbling).
Bingo.
We got a glitch.
- Where?
- This is radar data from
from, from, from Grasso.
From Oak Shield,
from Red Watch.
From all over California.
Yep, quarter second.
Quarter second radar failure at 6:24.
Hold on I'm checking control tower data.
You see, you see, you see
the same deal.
6:24.
- Can you chart up,
show me all the stations
that had that glitch
all the ones that had it at the same time
6:24?
- Sure, sure, sure, sure
I can tap into anything
they can come up with
those bastards.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Now I'm going to do a kind of a graphic
kind of chart thing for you here.
Okay, okay, okay.
Here we have two (mumbles)
and they create a little egg.
- [Stephanie] That's weird.
- So if Mount Aurora is
one of the two points...
- Well just have to do some
high powered calculating,
won't we.
Yes, yes.
- What's up?
- [Stephanie] We may have found something.
- Hey boo-boo,
we've got ourselves a great
big picnic basket for ya.
There we have the full size.
Major focus at your
favorite spot and mine.
Mount Aurora California.
And minor focuses at Yuma Arizona.
- [Voiceover] Yuma Arizona.
- Actually about 50 miles north of Yuma
right on the California border.
Okay here we go,
here we go.
Williston Arizona
population 235.
Major industry Herman's
gas station on the corner.
- Gee I don't know about this.
I mean it seems awfully thin
for us to just go running off to Arizona.
What are we supposed to
do when we get there?
- I didn't know you
were planing on coming.
- Oh um, well.
- Ah, it's a romance.
It's a romance.
- Arthur shut up.
- Don't get me wrong you're welcome to.
- Well I guess I just
thought that I was onboard.
But I still don't know if we should
just go running off to Arizona.
- Here's something.
Look what we have here.
Seismic readings at 6:23.
Here, here, here.
In the totally unfault like
terrain of the scorpion state
see it?
Still thin huh?
Still thin,
ah it's very thin.
- Okay, okay Arthur okay.
Okay I'm convinced.
But what are we going
to do when we get there?
- Why are we going to Arizona?
- To find Zarkorrs off switch.
- Zarkorrs off switch is in Arizona?
- Now say thank you.
- Why.
- Well first because I
didn't have you arrested
and more recently because I
just booked you on a flight
for Phoenix Arizona leaving
from New Ark at about 3:05.
From there you'll catch a commuter flight
that'll put you down in hope
at the Tommy Marshal air field,
that's just outside of Yuma,
it's about 40 miles from Williston.
I've arranged for a rental
car to be delivered there
for your enjoyment and edification.
Stephanie you've got a
lot of work to do now.
You get these guys measurements,
take them into town and
buy then some clothes.
Do you want to show up at the airport
with a cop and a mailman?
Tommy ol' boy this is a
global positioning receiver.
The seismic and radar
data can only pinpoint
the location with in 1000 yards,
with this you know you're
in the right place.
And then, then you're on your
own you sorry bastard you.
Okay guys, okay guys get to work.
Get to work.
- I can't get this global
positioning thing to work.
- Holy Christ.
The whole town is gone.
- [Stephanie] No it isn't.
Look up there.
- Where?
- Those lights up there.
- We got trouble.
- Okay let's get ready.
(ominous music)
- Wow this is really eerie.
- We've made a pilgrimage into the desert.
The wilderness of sin,
it's all part of the mythic
journey to the god state.
I mean could be.
I guess.
- We've got company.
- Okay just hold your ground.
- Well you folks sure took your good
sweet time in getting here.
Well you are the government
people we sent for aren't you?
- That's right and you're marshal--
- Sheriff.
Sheriff Rockard.
- Right sheriff
well I'm Dr Martin from
the state department.
- Howdy.
- Nice to meet you.
This is Dr Ward.
- Please to meet you.
- And Dr--
- Dr Ray.
You can call me George.
- George.
Well this here's Ben Wells
he's our local geologist.
- Welcome doctor.
- Thank you, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- [Ben] Pleasure doctor.
Thank you for coming.
- [Tommy] Mr Wells.
- And this here's Quincy
he runs the dinner here.
- I'm Dr Ward.
(grunts)
So sheriff lets see what you got.
- Well no we were just kind
of hoping you'd tell us that.
Follow me.
(dramatic music)
- What you are seeing here are previously
recorded scenes of the aurora monster
filmed along his destructive trek
originating at Mount Aurora California
and continuing east through Arizona.
Current reports indicate the
Aurora animal has changed
its course.
It is now on a heading that
will take it just north of Yuma,
provided military--
- Tommy it's changing direction.
I think it's coming after you.
(dramatic music)
- That's comforting.
- Oh my god.
- Turn that thing off.
- [Quincy] It's okay buddy.
(ominous music)
- Did anybody see it hit?
- Hell yeah came down like a cannon shot.
- Yeah we've been calling around
for the last couple of days
trying to get somebody to come down here
and take a look at this thing.
Hell to my way of thinking
this just ain't natural.
- Let's get it cleared off.
(mumbles)
(ominous music)
- So has it done anything
since it got in here?
- Nope just sort of sits around.
But I did find something interesting.
- [Stephanie] What's that?
- I tried to do a scratch test on it
to see what it was made out of.
Watch this.
This is a diamond.
Watch.
(ominous music)
All right explain that?
- Hell buddy here tried
an arc welder on it.
Didn't do a damn thing.
- Tell you what if this
things harder than a diamond
there's nothing on this
earth that's going to open
this up.
Providing something's inside of it.
- God these look like windows.
Have you tried to open it?
- Doctor we've done
everything humanly possible
to try to penetrate this
and we can't do it.
(ominous music)
- Let's get it in the car.
- Now hold on,
Doctor how do we know that
by you moving this thing
it's not going to explode?
- Yeah.
- We don't.
And if I were you I'd get out of way.
(dramatic music)
- [Voiceover] Hey, hey you doctor, doctor.
Hey there.
I'd like to see some credentials.
Hey.
- Now you just wait a minute right now.
You, did you ever hear
of national security?
Did ya?
- Now you just wait a second.
- No you wait, all of ya.
Now are any of you aware that this country
is in the midst of a
crisis of international
and interplanetary importance?
Are ya?
- What are you talking about?
Oh you mean that monster?
- What are you some sort
of god damn question asker?
Well mister where I come from
we know when to ask
questions and we know when to
button our lips and follow orders.
Am I getting through to you?
- Now you just hold on.
- You hold on.
Are you an appointed officer of the law?
Have you been pledged to
uphold the laws of this state
and the constitution?
- Now just wait a minute.
- Are you an American?
Sheriff do you know what
it means to be an American?
- I think I--
- Oh you think you do.
You think you do.
So you don't know what it
means to be an American.
Well maybe you aught to
get sure what it means
to be an American before you
start being a question asker.
- George it won't fit.
- We need something to tie down the trunk.
- You give me your belt.
- What?
What do you want my belt for?
- Oh I see more questions huh.
How about national emergency
is that a good enough answer for you?
- Give him the belt Barry.
- Come on Barry give him your belt.
- Oh this is the damnedest
thing I've ever heard of.
- Send us an invoice we'll
compensate you for it.
- [Stephanie] Yeah send it attention
Bureau Special Operations Washington DC.
- [George] That's district of Columbia.
- I know where it is.
(dramatic music)
- Where to now?
- The monster.
- What about the sphere?
We don't have any idea how it
works or what to do with it.
- Don't worry about it
I've got it covered.
(dramatic music)
- What do you mean?
Do you know what you're doing?
- I've got it covered.
Just get me to Zarkorr.
(dramatic music)
(screeching)
(explosions)
(dramatic music)
(explosion)
(screeching)
- Showtime boys and girls.
Roadblock.
(dramatic music)
- [Voiceover] Sorry folks road's closed.
- Look officer my mothers
deaf and she's living alone
and I've got to get
into town to get to her.
- Just relax the town was evacuated,
what's your mother name?
- Maddy, Maddy Ray.
- [Voiceover] What's her address?
(dramatic music)
- 88 main street.
- Hold on.
- Damn bad move.
- God what are we going to do now?
- Should we try to rush the barrier?
- [Tommy] He's coming back.
- It's trouble, look how he's walking.
(dramatic music)
- I'm sorry folks I'm
going to have to ask you
to step out from the vehicle.
(ominous music)
Miss.
- What's wrong?
- Please step out.
(dramatic music)
Sir, sir.
Please keep your hands in sight.
- Okay, okay no trouble.
- Over here please.
Sir?
- Me too?
- Yes sir.
Please.
- George, Stephanie thanks for everything.
(tires screeching)
(gunshots)
(dramatic music)
Come on Zarkorr.
What are you waiting for?
You've been looking for me.
Here I am.
(screeching)
(explosions)
(dramatic music)
(lasers blasting)
(explosions)
(incoherent shouting)
(dramatic music)
(screeching)
(explosions)
- You did it.
You did it Tommy.
You saved the world.
- Welcome to the promise land.
- Testing, testing, testing.
We are ready.
This is Debbie Dowerson coming to you
from Amberson general
hospital where I am standing
next to the three most famous
people in the world today.
Crypto Zoologist Dr Stephanie Martin.
Police officer George Ray
and the man who saved the world New Ark
postal service employee Tommy Ward.
Tommy did you know that
there's a grassroots
movement trying to draft
you to become president
of the United States?
- No I,
actually I was unconscious
until a minute ago.
- [Debbie] Well how do
you feel about that?
- About running for president?
- [Debbie] Yes.
- Sounds good to me.

- Tommy, we've got to talk.
- Uh.
- Tommy hello.
- You can't be real.
- I'm real but I'm not solid.
Actually I'm a mental
image being projected
directly into the visual
and auditory centers of your brain.
Nobody but you can see or hear me.
Hey.
- Then why are you here?
- You've been selected by a coalition
of intelligent species
in the galaxy to defend your planet
against an invader.
If you fail,
you and your entire
civilization will be destroyed.
Understand?
- Okay.
(eerie music)
And I'm supposed to believe this?
- [Girl] Yup.
- So you're from some extremely
advanced civilization,
is that right?
- That's right.
- Well how come you look like
a tiny teenage mall tramp?
- Well it's simply a
conventionalized projection
designed to look familiar
and unthreatening.
- So if you're from an
advanced civilization
can I ask you some questions?
- Well some things I cannot tell you,
but I'll do my best.
- All right.
All right what's the meaning of life?
- There is no meaning.
It's just a coincidental outcome
of the particular quanto
crystallization of our universe.
- Is there life after death?
- No.
- I mean does our spirit,
our consciousness continue
to exist even after the death
of our physical bodies?
- No.
- Does Wendy Physcs really like me?
- No, she's using you to
make Arnie Beckworth jealous.
She's also been sleeping
with George Winston
on the side in order to get
better work assignments.
- I knew it, damn her.
Look this is completely ridiculous,
I'm sorry and pardon me for saying so
but why in the world
would a galactic whatever
pick me to defend the earth?
I mean there'd have to be a lot of people
better suited for this particular job.
- Oh sure, half.
- I'm sorry.
- Exactly half of the people on the earth
are better suited to defeat
the invader than you.
And exactly half are worse.
You're dead in the center.
That's why we selected you.
- So who's this invader?
- You mean you don't know.
- Why should I know?
It's been on every channel.
Except for the possible
exception of the cartoon network.
Go ahead and switch,
you'll see.
- Stan Chambers here,
reporting on the Aurora Mountain disaster,
we're having trouble with
our live transmission feed
from Aurora Valley.
For you viewers who just tuned in
we're in the middle of
a truly amazing story.
- Well amazing's the word Stan,
a gigantic animal,
of apparently prehistoric
origin has somehow emerged
from the side of Mount Aurora,
in Aurora County California.
Now the animal of unknown species
we understand is currently
making its way in
a north to north easterly direction
but already it's caused massive damage
even loss of life in
the Aurora Valley area.
- Just one moment Elizabeth.
We do have an update,
Governor Bill Wilkins has called out the
California national guard
and the forces are moving
into the Aurora Valley area.
- Stan I'm getting word
now that we're getting back
to our live feed,
so I think we should switch
live to Marty Carlson
right in the Aurora Valley.
- Stan, Elizabeth,
I am standing on main street in front
of the county court
house in what used to be
the heart of Aurora County.
It is now a virtual ghost town.
The entire Aurora Valley
has been ordered evacuated.
This is due entirely to a
unprecedented natural disaster.
The cause a single incredibly
destructive animal.
What you are hearing now from behind me
is the sound of that animal as it moves
through the center of town
literally knocking buildings down
as it advances.
It appears to be heading
in this direction,
I,
I don't know how much longer
we'll be able to (screaming).
- Oh, oh Stan something
appears to be so wrong.
- We are apparently having
some transmission problems.
We'll get back to Marty
just as soon as we can.
- [Voiceover] Across
America starting at ...
- We'll be bringing you
that interview in full
in just a little while.
Once again this is Debbie Delverson
coming to you from WRPT here in New Ark.
Bringing you the latest in that terrifying
story on the west coast.
Right now we have Dr Stephanie Martin
from the university of Trenton.
She is a Crypto Zoologist,
she's an expert in the study
of unknown animal life.
Thank you Dr Martin for being with us.
- It's my pleasure.
- So what, is the deal here?
Is this a dinosaur
that's come back to life?
- Well I know that it's being
referred to as a dinosaur
by the popular media but in a word,
no.
As you can see there are a
number of characteristics
that make it very unlikely
that this animal is a dinosaur.
Well you'll notice the human like arms
and the structure of the skull
and then of course the size of the animal
which is far larger than any
(mumbles) animal known to science.
Or even really considered
to be possible by science.
- But don't you think
this could be a species
that's not known by science?
- Well no not really.
Well in fact it's impossible that
a dinosaur could have been
living inside of Mount Aurora
for 65 million years.
You see Mount Aurora is only
around 22 million years old.
In fact Mount Aurora was
formed by alluvial deposits
that were made--
- Thank you Dr Martin.
- Let's show you that footage again.
(static hissing)
- We'll be staying on the
air to keep you updated
on this amazing story.
A terrible visitor from
some lost prehistoric world
alive in Southern California.
- Monster (speaking in
a foreign language).
- It is clearly well over 180 feet tall,
which in fact would make
it by far the largest
animal in the world.
Far more massive than even the blue whale.
Well which would make it very unlikely
that this is a dinosaur
or any creature evolved
here on earth.
- [Voiceover] Thank you Dr
Martin so much that information.
- Could you turn the sound down?
- [Debbie] Once again
this is Debbie Dolverson
coming to you ...
- Are you okay?
(ominous music)
- Yeah,
yeah great.
Swell.
- Are you functional now?
Can you listen to me?
- Yeah, yeah I'm listening.
- Okay ground rules first.
Zarkorr cannot be defeated.
- Zarkorr,
who's Zarkorr?
- That's the invader.
Zarkorr.
Now Zarkorr cannot be
defeated by any earthly
weapon utilized or,
here write this down.
I can only tell you this once,
so it's important that
you get it straight.
- I have a tape recorder.
- I'm speaking directly
to your cerebral cortex.
What good is a tape recorder going the be?
- Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Point one,
Zarkorr cannot be defeated
by any earthly currently
utilized or in development by
any armed force on the earth.
Understand?
- What about nuclear weapons?
- Nothing, nada.
Not guns, tanks, A bombs,
H bombs, anthrax bombs,
slingshots, swords, sharp sticks,
poison gas nothing that
is currently utilized
or under development by any
armed force on the earth.
- Right got it.
- However the means do
exist to defeat the invader.
They exist here on earth,
and they can be found and utilized by you,
within the limited time frame available.
- What do you mean limited time frame?
- That's the next point.
Zarkorr has been designed
to hone in on you
and is currently making his way to you
by the shortest route possible.
So if you're thinking
about dodging the mission
by running away, this would
be a very temporary solution.
Zarkorr would track you down.
Where ever you ended up, he'd kill you.
You cannot hide from Zarkorr.
Got it?
- Got it.
But how am I supposed to kill it?
- Next point.
Your course of action
is strictly up to you.
You can use whatever
resources you can find,
technical resources, scientific resources,
human resources.
Other than what I'm telling you now
we can offer you no assistance whatever.
Write it down.
- Yeah, no assistance whatever.
Look I'm sorry but
I thought superior beings were
supposed to be morally superior.
I need to tell you something there
is nothing moral about this,
this is totally immoral.
You cannot do this to me,
or us.
The human race.
- We're superior beings,
so our moral code allows us to do
whatever we want to do to you.
- Great what else?
- Well, um, that's really about it.
Oh one hint
Zarkorr contains the key
to his own destruction.
So uh, good luck.
Bye.
Oh one other thing that
I'm allowed to tell you
the faster you undertake positivity action
against the invader, the
greater the chances of success.
Bye.
- How in Gods name am I supposed
to fight a 180 foot dinosaur?
(dramatic music)
(growling)
(dramatic music)
(explosions)
(screeching)
(dramatic music)
(crickets chirping)
(incoherent talking)
- Okay people we'll be
back in two minutes.
- Oh god.
Do we have any new footage
or anything.
What am I supposed to say?
So where's the Crisco zoologist?
Huh, huh.
- In wardrobe.
- Excuse me can you tell me where
the wardrobe department is?
- It's in the corner over that way.
- Thanks.
- Is she a bore or what?
And then I try to get her to shut up
and she just keeps going on and on and on.
(banging)
- Oh, sorry.
- Wait you're the expert, right?
- Yeah I guess.
- I need to talk to you.
It's very important.
- Okay well look I got to be
back on the air in a couple
of seconds maybe--
- No it's very important.
I mean extremely important.
Unbelievably important.
- Who are you exactly?
Do you work here?
- No I don't I saw you on TV
so I came down here to find you.
- I don't think you're
supposed to be back here.
- No I'm not.
I know that but I need to talk to you.
Look this is not easy for me,
I don't know how to say this.
- Are you a mail man?
- No, I'm not a mail man,
i'm a postal employee
there's a difference.
- Oh right.
- No, no, no it's very urgent.
You need to listen to me right now.
- Oh my god,
if you touch me I will scream.
- I'm not going to touch you.
I don't want to touch you,
I just want to talk to you.
Listen I know what I'm about
to say is going to sound crazy,
but I'm not crazy,
really I'm not.
You've got to listen to me.
I was contacted by an alien
a while ago,
actually she looked like
a tiny little mall tramp,
but she said that was
just a mental projection.
She told me that I'm the
one who's been chosen
to defeat Zarkorr.
- Zarkorr.
- Zarkorr right,
that's the name of the monster, Zarkorr.
And I'm the one that's
been chosen to defeat him.
- Oh my god.
- But I don't know how.
So I came down here to find you.
Listen can't we go somewhere and talk
please.
- Help.
- Security to stage eight.
- [Dr Martin] Help me.
- [Tommy] Please don't scream.
- There's a crazy post man over here.
- What's the deal here,
what's happening.
Oh are we on?
(screams)
- What the hell's going on there?
- We've got a problem down here.
Can someone tell me what's happening?
Please.
- Oh Christ.
- Over here,
down that way.
- Just stay away from me.
I just want to talk to her.
- Okay everybody back off.
- He's crazy, would
you get me out of here.
- Okay back off everyone.
Clear a way.
Go on back off out of the way.
- This isn't turning out like I expected.
- Okay mister we don't
want anyone to get hurt.
- Listen I know this is hard to explain,
but you just can't take me to jail
it's impossible.
- Oh we won't take you to jail.
- Yeah right we're only authorized
to escort you off the property.
So why don't you put down the C stand
and just go on about your business.
- Look I'm not crazy and
I'm not stupid either.
- Okay I believe you,
you're not stupid.
In that case I believe
you know what this is.
This is a gun.
Put down the C stand
or I will take this gun and shoot you
and then you will die.
- Shoot him.
Just shoot him,
just shoot him.
- Please excuse me lady I've got the
situation under control here.
(gasping)
Okay fella what's it going to be?
- See, there you go.
No problem.
Okay everybody.
- Drop it.
Drop the gun,
drop it and then back away.
- Don't do it,
look it's all my fault.
Joe just shoot him.
Shoot through my body.
- Don't try it,
you get back in the corner.
(ominous music)
- What is going on here?
- Just get out of here.
- Right the police are out front.
- Did you hear that mister?
The police are here,
what are you going to do now?
- You listen to me drop
the gun on the floor
and kick it over here.
Right now.
- You're doing something really stupid.
- You do something smart
and give me that gun
or I'll start shooting.
I'm not kidding.
- Okay.
- Don't do it.
- Get up.
Back off.
Come on.
I need you to help me.
I won't hurt you, but I'm
not leaving here without you.
Back off.
Come on walk.
Walk.
You're going to be all right.
I'm not going to hurt you, I promise.
Back off.
(screaming)
- [Dr Martin] Let go of me.
- I'm sorry.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it you just need to talk to me.
I just need your help.
Stop it.
(panting)
This is a disaster.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
- Just stay calm everything
is going to be okay.
- Everything's going to be okay?
What are you nuts?
I told you that...
(police sirens)
Skip it, we're doomed.
That's it I'm going to
end up in a nut house
or in a jail somewhere
until Zarkorr comes along
and squashes me and then
destroys the whole world.
- No, no, no I want the
building evacuated now.
- Look all I'm asking for us
is to keep one of our
guys with a minicam here,
I mean this is major news.
- Excuse me, excuse me but does the
word no mean anything to you?
- Look all I'm say--
- Excuse me but does the word
now mean anything to you?
- Okay, okay but this is
an abuse of authority.
- Look I want this building emptied out
and I want it emptied out now.
Thank you.
(dramatic music)
- This whole thing is my fault.
Let me get in there and I'll tackle him.
- No.
- Hey you guys got a
swat team or something?
- Can you believe this?
And all because you're
a reasonable person.
And this whole thing
is totally ridiculous.
I'm going to save the world.
What a joke.
- No, no, no, I believe you.
I mean why shouldn't you be
the one to save the world?
- You had your chance.
If you're going to patronize
me at least do a better
job of it.
- All right don't you guys want to wait
for some backup units?
- Excuse me, but was that
advice you were offering me?
- Sorry.
- Look you planning on taking over
or planing this operation?
- No, no I wasn't planning that.
Sorry.
- You two guys get lost.
Come on let's go check this guy out.
(dramatic music)
- Okay right look,
the remote trucks are
being set up in the front.
- What about getting a camera in here?
- Don't worry about it
our lawyers are taking
care of everything now.
With any luck they'll
be doing this all day.
- Oh please, please.
Oh yes, yes.
(dramatic music)
- [Voiceover] Police open up.
- Go away.
- Open up in there.
- Don't try anything.
I'm armed and I have a hostage.
- He's a postal worker.
- Okay, look everything will be all right.
- Another optimist.
Excuse me would you mind
coming over here a minute?
- Me, why?
- Because I want to use
you as a human shield.
And I'm armed and dangerous.
Now do you mind please.
Now.
Now I want you to open up the door.
Just a little bit,
very slowly.
That's enough.
Okay guys listen up I
want you to back away.
You're making me very nervous.
- I'm backing up.
Okay, now how's that?
- A little bit further.
Please.
- There, now can we talk?
- Guys, yeah I guess so.
- So what's the problem?
- Guys I know how bad this looks,
but I'm not crazy.
I don't have any grudges,
I don't want to hurt anybody.
I'm just an average guy.
But something happened to me this evening.
I can't prove it,
I know that.
But you gotta listen to me please.
This monster,
this thing that appeared in California
is not a dinosaur or a
mutation or anything like that.
It's from outer space.
It's a kind of test.
It's a test of the human race.
No army can stop it.
No weapons, no H bombs, nothing.
I know, I've been told.
I was visited.
An alien being appeared
to me this evening.
At first I didn't believe it
but she told me about the
monster before I saw it on TV.
So I knew it had to be real.
And she told me that I've
been chosen to defeat Zarkorr.
That's the name of the monster.
And she told me that I'm the only one
who can do it.
So if you lock me up that
would be the end of everything.
This monster will home
in on me and kill me.
And then destroy all human civilization.
- Why is it exactly that
this alien picked you to defeat Zerkonian.
- Zarkorr.
Because I'm the median human,
I'm dead average.
Look I know how totally
unsuited I am for this job.
I mean I've only been
at it an hour and a half
and I'm already about to be shot.
Or locked up in a nut house or jail
but I didn't say I was any good at it.
But I'm the one they picked.
Please, please.
- Larry I believe him.
- Yeah right.
Yeah I believe him too.
- No, no you don't understand
I'm not trying to fool him
I really do believe him.
- What?
- Don't you know what's been going on?
With UFO's.
They've been watching us for centuries.
I mean look at the evidence.
Abductions, cattle mutilations.
They're all around us.
- George.
- I mean you have to look at the evidence.
And if an alien civilization
can cross trillions
of miles of space who says
they can't create a monster.
- George just calm--
- I mean what other explanation is there?
- George go to the patrol car now.
- No Larry I'm serious.
How else can you explain a
giant monster just appearing
like this?
It makes sense that the other
civilizations in the galaxy
would be testing us.
What if he's telling the truth?
If we lock him up it could
mean the end of civilization.
- George can we talk about this later?
- Larry you know I respect you.
- Oh my god.
- But I'm afraid I'm going
to have to take your gun.
- George have you gone
totally and completely
and in every other way out of your mind?
I'm not going to let you do this.
- Larry I love you like an older brother
but I've got to go with my gut.
And if you don't give me that gun
I'll be forced to shoot ya.
- George you're throwing away your career.
- Dammit civilization is at stake.
Okay I'm counting.
Five--
- Please let's talk about this George.
- Four.
Three.
Two.
- Okay, okay take it.
- If I come out of this thing alive
so help me god I am going to sue
the New Ark police department
and I will bankrupt you.
- Lady that's really top
one on the list of my
current problems right now.
- Larry get your hands up.
Assume the position against that wall.
Now move it.
- [Larry] George.
- Look I'm sorry about this Larry
but we're going to need
some get away time.
(mumbling)
Larry cut it out.
You're going to strain your throat.
Look we better get out of here.
Backup should be coming any second.
We taking her?
- Yes.
- Right.
- Well let's see if we can find a back way
out of this place.
Stay behind me.
Anybody start shooting,
get down.
- Okay.
Lets go.
Don't scream or he'll shoot ya.
- Where exactly are you taking me?
- I don't know.
I haven't figured that out yet.
(dramatic music)
(mumbling)
- [Dr Martins] Let go of me now.
I told you look there
is no way out of here.
- Sorry lady that's my squad car.
Put her in the back.
- [Dr Martins] Let go.
(dramatic music)
(police sirens blaring)
(screeching)
(explosions)
(dramatic music)
(screeching)
- I'm sorry what's your name?
- George.
- George you got a radio or anything?
- Yeah here hold on.
- We need to get some news on this thing.
- Yeah it's right down there.
- Be careful with that it's Larry's.
- I will.
- [Voiceover] And all national guard units
have been completely wiped out.
Reports indicate the Aurora
monster has proven invulnerable
to attacks by bazooka teams,
stinger missiles and heavy artillery.
Hold on we're going remote.
- [Voiceover] Hello this is Loyd Ink,
I'm stationed with the
national guard command post
on the side of Mount Tiko
we can the monster
around a mile away moving
up the valley due east directly toward us.
As we've reported before the
president has given special
authorization for air force
bombers to undertake an assault
against the monster with Napalm bombs.
We can hear the aircraft moving in now.
Hold on, there they go.
The valley is exploding in fire.
God what a sight huge
balls of fire exploding
one after the other.
We can see the monster burning
in the middle of the flames.
The whole forest is on fire all around it.
I can't quite see anything
through the smoke right now
I think the monster's gone down.
Jesus Christ no he's still coming
it hasn't even been touched.
It's shooting lightning
bolts from its eyes.
The planes are being blown
from the skies one by one.
(dramatic music)
- Can we talk now?
- This isn't possible.
Nothing on earth could
survive something like that.
- Look even if you don't
believe me you're here,
you're stuck.
Let's just pretend that
I'm telling the truth,
now this alien told me certain things,
hold on,
let's assume for the sake of a argument
that all this is true, okay.
Okay?
- Fine.
- Now this is what she said.
She said Zarkorr can't be defeated by
any earthly weapon currently being used
or under development by
any armed force on earth.
That includes nuclear weapons,
chemical weapons, everything.
Look the way I see it is this,
this whole thing is layed out
so that I'm the only one who
can figure this thing out
and if it's not me,
then it's nobody.
Does that make sense?
- Makes perfect sense to me.
- Yeah okay me too.
- I don't know what the
hell I'm supposed to do.
The thing is the alien said
that it can be destroyed
and there is a way for me to find out how.
But I just have to figure it out
and that's why I came to get you,
to find you.
I need more information.
I need to find out more about Zarkorr.
I need your help.
Please.
I can't force you to cooperate.
- Could probably force her.
- No please, just think for a minute,
you said it yourself
it's not from this earth.
Now if this monster came from outer space
and that much is true,
then why not the rest?
- He convinced me.
- Oh god I got to think.
- [Voiceover] Any unit in the vicinity
we have a 417 in progress
one officer held hostage.
- Yeah we may have to think on foot,
they just found Larry
they're looking for us.
- What do we do now?
- Well we're going to
have to take a chance
that we don't get spotted for
another five minutes or so.
Now I can hide the squad
car where it won't be found
but after that we're
pretty much on our own.
I mean I don't have any other wheels handy
we're just gonna have to hoof it.
- Okay,
(dramatic music)
let's do it.
(dramatic music)
- Why do I get the feeling
that the rest of my life
is going to be just like this?
- Where can we go?
- Well I can think of three
places where we can't go.
Your place, my place and her place.
Any other ideas.
- Not that I can think of.
You're the expert.
- Uh huh, you are.
Where we go kind of depends
on what you wanna do.
- God.
- Look you've been chosen,
read the bible Moses
didn't like it either.
That's life.
- She said that Zarkorr contained the key
to his own destruction.
That was a hint.
- No it's a tautology.
Okay everything contains the
key to it's own destruction.
- [Tommy] She said it was a hint.
- What the hell's a tautology?
- It can't be just that she
made a big point out of it.
She said Zarkorr contains the
key to his own destruction.
And whatever that key is it's
something that the government
can't find and the military
isn't going to find,
only I can find it.
But what the hell could it be?
(dramatic music)
Look,
look I need your help.
And if I can't have it
then there's no point in me
dragging you around with me.
Either way I'm not going to hurt you.
I'm not dangerous.
And I'm not crazy either.
You tell me if Zarkorr
didn't come from outer space
then where the hell did he come from?
- I don't know.
No it is not from earth, it can't be.
It's totally ridiculous,
but it can't be.
You're right.
- I don't know if you can help me,
but right now you're all I've got.
- What am I supposed to do?
There is no such thing as
an expert in alien life.
- Are you going to help me or not?
- Okay, I know a place we can go.
Here.
- Maybe I am crazy,
everyone seems to be
acting as if I'm crazy.
It doesn't make much sense,
I mean why'd they pick me?
I don't know she said it's
because I'm the average guy
but that sounds crazy.
Then this little thing she just vanished
and I had no idea what to do next
but she left me a list of
stuff that I was supposed
to keep in mind.
And then I saw Stephanie on TV
so I went down to the
station to try to talk to her
because she's an expert
but she wouldn't believe
me so I had to force her
to believe me and then
George finally did believe me
but the police are looking for us.
And we had to hide the patrol car
so they wouldn't find us.
And we took a bus--
- Hey man this isn't funny.
- Noway don't pay attention to him okay,
it's a nervous habit
(laughing)
- So you want me to help you destroy this,
this Zarkorr?
- [George] Christ let's get out of here.
- No, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
It's cool, it's cool, it's cool.
It's surreal.
It's cosmic.
I like it.
I like it, oh yeah.
It's cool, it's cool.
- So can you get us the
information we need?
- Arthur can get anything he's a hacker.
Actually he'd be in jail right now
if he hadn't erased
his own indictment file
from the DA's database.
- Excuse me Stephanie not hacker.
Hacker is a demeaning term,
I prefer cyber-naught.
- Cyber naught.
- As in a sailor through cyber space.
Okay hold on now.
Hold on.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm writing a little program here
which is going to search for
any references to Zarkorr
on the net.
However we have to limit
ourselves a little bit
because we don't care what any ordinary
schmucks have to say,
do we?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We're looking for labs,
military data coms,
pentagon feeds, university chit chat.
Here let's try a little bit
of encrypted satellite info,
that usually turns you the goodies.
So are you two going out?
Are you two?
What about you two?
Any combinations of (mumbles)?
No, oh.
So you work for the post office huh.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
Cool.
(laughing)
Okay we've got to let this
baby compile a little bit
and see what she comes up with.
So you got a girlfriend?
- No not really.
- Oh so you,
you go to prostitutes huh?
- No.
- I'll bet he does.
- I see what you mean about social skills.
- It only gets worse.
- Stephanie here lost
here virginity to her
literature professor.
Barnard.
When I was a kid I tapped
her home phone line
and she called him up,
they talked all about it.
- Shut up.
- You wanna listen to the tape?
- Arthur shut up.
- How long's it going to
take for the data to come up?
- It'll take awhile.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll take awhile.
It'll take awhile, but it's cool,
it's okay, you guys
you guys could hide out here.
I could order lunch.
But I'm not going to pay for yours.
You got to pay for it yourself.
Anybody feel like Mexican?
I live off of the disability and interest
that I got from this
money I won in a law suit
from this kid, this kid from (mumbles)
he hit me with his motor scooter,
he crippled me.
Crippled me for life.
But he was a rich kid.
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me.
- [Voiceover] (mumbles) to
the federal court on behalf
of the United Environmental defense fund
to seek an injunction to
prevent further aggressive
against the Aurora monster.
- That's right all the
evidence we have indicates
that this animal,
and we don't like to call it a monster,
is completely unique.
It's one of a kind and it's our position
that it falls under the protection
of the endangered species act.
- But Mr Bergman this animal has caused
hundreds of fatalities and caused millions
of dollars of property damage.
- That is not relevant to
the (mumbles) in question
they do not distinguish
between dangerous animals
and benign ones.
And let me jut add one more thing
that the actions already
taken against this animal
including the use of napalm
in the Mount Tiko Valley,
which is just unbelievable.
But not only my guess have
already fatally injured
the Aurora animal but it
most certainly will have
profound negative consequences
for the red tipped
dwarf owl which lives only in that region.
- Is that so.
- Okay, okay, here I come.
Here I come get ready.
Okay, okay okay
these are the first stacks of hard copy,
there's more on the way a lot more.
More on the way.
(dramatic music)
- Okay let's start saving the world.
(dramatic music)
(screeching)
(explosions)
- Energy, energy that's all it really is.
- [Voiceover] Laser light
doesn't leave footprints.
- Well you see that's the problem.
If this technology's so
far advanced of ours then
it's impossible to say what it could do.
This thing doesn't eat,
it doesn't bleed,
it doesn't breathe.
It can't be hurt by any
kind of material defense
so how do you shoot a beam of light?
- How do you?
- You hit the off switch.
- No, no, no no that makes sense.
- Look there isn't going
to be any off switch okay,
or whatever that means.
If they could make this thing
then they could certainly
make the switch inaccessible.
- Of course that's the point.
If they wanted to destroy the earth
that's what they would have done.
But they need to make the means
of destroying this monster
accessible to me.
- And not anybody else.
- No no one else is going
to think of an off switch.
They're not going to
bother to look for it.
How can they know what we know?
- But it could be anywhere.
It could look like anything.
- Look last night this monster
came out of that mountain
and some time before that
it must have been turned on.
Generated, brought to life, whatever.
That's where we need to look,
that's where the switch was flipped.
We need to see what
happened in the mountain
at the time that the monster appeared.
When they first turned it on.
- Say no more,
say no more,
say no more.
I am on it.
I am on it.
You want your weather data,
you want your satellite photos.
You want your seismic reports.
You want your radar anomalies.
I got it, got it, got it.
Warning, warning, warning.
Come on get back.
Get out of my way.
Okay, okay.
This is cool okay we're
starting at eight pm
and we're wining our way
through the seismic data.
It will stop at the first
indication of seismic activity.
There it is at 8:18 pm.
You see it?
It only gets progressively worse.
And there it is, there it
is at 10:03 pacific time.
- Go back to the beginning.
- Yeah what was that?
That was it.
That's when it was turned on
or implanted or whatever at 6:23.
It must have taken a few
hours for it to charge
or grow large enough to
appear again at 8:18.
- But what do we do with it?
- We have to look for
something else that happened
at the same time.
At the moment that spark
appeared in the mountains
something else must have happened.
If I'm right.
- I'm checking,
I'm checking, checking, checking
clear the way, clear
the way, clear the way.
Okay satellite data.
No, no 6:25.
High pressure center.
No no change, no change, nothing, nothing.
Wait.
Military radar.
Top secret for my eyes only.
I'm just kidding.
Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait
I gotta break a few codes.
Um.
- What?
- We're in violation of federal law.
- Big deal.
- Oh yeah, did you ever see
that movie with Linda Blair?
When she's in a women's
prison and they (mumbling).
Bingo.
We got a glitch.
- Where?
- This is radar data from
from, from, from Grasso.
From Oak Shield,
from Red Watch.
From all over California.
Yep, quarter second.
Quarter second radar failure at 6:24.
Hold on I'm checking control tower data.
You see, you see, you see
the same deal.
6:24.
- Can you chart up,
show me all the stations
that had that glitch
all the ones that had it at the same time
6:24?
- Sure, sure, sure, sure
I can tap into anything
they can come up with
those bastards.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Now I'm going to do a kind of a graphic
kind of chart thing for you here.
Okay, okay, okay.
Here we have two (mumbles)
and they create a little egg.
- [Stephanie] That's weird.
- So if Mount Aurora is
one of the two points...
- Well just have to do some
high powered calculating,
won't we.
Yes, yes.
- What's up?
- [Stephanie] We may have found something.
- Hey boo-boo,
we've got ourselves a great
big picnic basket for ya.
There we have the full size.
Major focus at your
favorite spot and mine.
Mount Aurora California.
And minor focuses at Yuma Arizona.
- [Voiceover] Yuma Arizona.
- Actually about 50 miles north of Yuma
right on the California border.
Okay here we go,
here we go.
Williston Arizona
population 235.
Major industry Herman's
gas station on the corner.
- Gee I don't know about this.
I mean it seems awfully thin
for us to just go running off to Arizona.
What are we supposed to
do when we get there?
- I didn't know you
were planing on coming.
- Oh um, well.
- Ah, it's a romance.
It's a romance.
- Arthur shut up.
- Don't get me wrong you're welcome to.
- Well I guess I just
thought that I was onboard.
But I still don't know if we should
just go running off to Arizona.
- Here's something.
Look what we have here.
Seismic readings at 6:23.
Here, here, here.
In the totally unfault like
terrain of the scorpion state
see it?
Still thin huh?
Still thin,
ah it's very thin.
- Okay, okay Arthur okay.
Okay I'm convinced.
But what are we going
to do when we get there?
- Why are we going to Arizona?
- To find Zarkorrs off switch.
- Zarkorrs off switch is in Arizona?
- Now say thank you.
- Why.
- Well first because I
didn't have you arrested
and more recently because I
just booked you on a flight
for Phoenix Arizona leaving
from New Ark at about 3:05.
From there you'll catch a commuter flight
that'll put you down in hope
at the Tommy Marshal air field,
that's just outside of Yuma,
it's about 40 miles from Williston.
I've arranged for a rental
car to be delivered there
for your enjoyment and edification.
Stephanie you've got a
lot of work to do now.
You get these guys measurements,
take them into town and
buy then some clothes.
Do you want to show up at the airport
with a cop and a mailman?
Tommy ol' boy this is a
global positioning receiver.
The seismic and radar
data can only pinpoint
the location with in 1000 yards,
with this you know you're
in the right place.
And then, then you're on your
own you sorry bastard you.
Okay guys, okay guys get to work.
Get to work.
- I can't get this global
positioning thing to work.
- Holy Christ.
The whole town is gone.
- [Stephanie] No it isn't.
Look up there.
- Where?
- Those lights up there.
- We got trouble.
- Okay let's get ready.
(ominous music)
- Wow this is really eerie.
- We've made a pilgrimage into the desert.
The wilderness of sin,
it's all part of the mythic
journey to the god state.
I mean could be.
I guess.
- We've got company.
- Okay just hold your ground.
- Well you folks sure took your good
sweet time in getting here.
Well you are the government
people we sent for aren't you?
- That's right and you're marshal--
- Sheriff.
Sheriff Rockard.
- Right sheriff
well I'm Dr Martin from
the state department.
- Howdy.
- Nice to meet you.
This is Dr Ward.
- Please to meet you.
- And Dr--
- Dr Ray.
You can call me George.
- George.
Well this here's Ben Wells
he's our local geologist.
- Welcome doctor.
- Thank you, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- [Ben] Pleasure doctor.
Thank you for coming.
- [Tommy] Mr Wells.
- And this here's Quincy
he runs the dinner here.
- I'm Dr Ward.
(grunts)
So sheriff lets see what you got.
- Well no we were just kind
of hoping you'd tell us that.
Follow me.
(dramatic music)
- What you are seeing here are previously
recorded scenes of the aurora monster
filmed along his destructive trek
originating at Mount Aurora California
and continuing east through Arizona.
Current reports indicate the
Aurora animal has changed
its course.
It is now on a heading that
will take it just north of Yuma,
provided military--
- Tommy it's changing direction.
I think it's coming after you.
(dramatic music)
- That's comforting.
- Oh my god.
- Turn that thing off.
- [Quincy] It's okay buddy.
(ominous music)
- Did anybody see it hit?
- Hell yeah came down like a cannon shot.
- Yeah we've been calling around
for the last couple of days
trying to get somebody to come down here
and take a look at this thing.
Hell to my way of thinking
this just ain't natural.
- Let's get it cleared off.
(mumbles)
(ominous music)
- So has it done anything
since it got in here?
- Nope just sort of sits around.
But I did find something interesting.
- [Stephanie] What's that?
- I tried to do a scratch test on it
to see what it was made out of.
Watch this.
This is a diamond.
Watch.
(ominous music)
All right explain that?
- Hell buddy here tried
an arc welder on it.
Didn't do a damn thing.
- Tell you what if this
things harder than a diamond
there's nothing on this
earth that's going to open
this up.
Providing something's inside of it.
- God these look like windows.
Have you tried to open it?
- Doctor we've done
everything humanly possible
to try to penetrate this
and we can't do it.
(ominous music)
- Let's get it in the car.
- Now hold on,
Doctor how do we know that
by you moving this thing
it's not going to explode?
- Yeah.
- We don't.
And if I were you I'd get out of way.
(dramatic music)
- [Voiceover] Hey, hey you doctor, doctor.
Hey there.
I'd like to see some credentials.
Hey.
- Now you just wait a minute right now.
You, did you ever hear
of national security?
Did ya?
- Now you just wait a second.
- No you wait, all of ya.
Now are any of you aware that this country
is in the midst of a
crisis of international
and interplanetary importance?
Are ya?
- What are you talking about?
Oh you mean that monster?
- What are you some sort
of god damn question asker?
Well mister where I come from
we know when to ask
questions and we know when to
button our lips and follow orders.
Am I getting through to you?
- Now you just hold on.
- You hold on.
Are you an appointed officer of the law?
Have you been pledged to
uphold the laws of this state
and the constitution?
- Now just wait a minute.
- Are you an American?
Sheriff do you know what
it means to be an American?
- I think I--
- Oh you think you do.
You think you do.
So you don't know what it
means to be an American.
Well maybe you aught to
get sure what it means
to be an American before you
start being a question asker.
- George it won't fit.
- We need something to tie down the trunk.
- You give me your belt.
- What?
What do you want my belt for?
- Oh I see more questions huh.
How about national emergency
is that a good enough answer for you?
- Give him the belt Barry.
- Come on Barry give him your belt.
- Oh this is the damnedest
thing I've ever heard of.
- Send us an invoice we'll
compensate you for it.
- [Stephanie] Yeah send it attention

- I know where it is.
(dramatic music)
- Where to now?
- The monster.
- What about the sphere?
We don't have any idea how it
works or what to do with it.
- Don't worry about it

Do you know what you're doing?
