FADE IN:
EXT. STATE DEPARTMENT - WASHINGTON D.C. DAY
INT. SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT - OFFICE
Dr. BRIAN SCOTT and Dr. BARBIE BASSO are reviewing a report
from the FBI Agent in Charge of the SEATTLE WASHINGTON OFFICE.
An Unidentified Life Form (U.L.F.) was discovered in a very
remote town in BRITISH COLUMBIA. Dr. Scott is a young man
in his thirties and Dr. Basso is a very attractive young
lady in her late twenties. Dr. Scott is a Para-Physicologist
and Dr. Basso is an Egyptologist.
BRIAN SCOTT PHD.
An esteem Egyptoligist of the highest order has been with the FBI
for over ten years and is called in on special cases where this
background is necessary. He is also a specialist in Applied
Criminal Psychology and has published papers on this subject.
He has two years in pre-med and is qualified for Clinical forensic
Specialties.
BARBIE BASSO MD.
A Doctor of Forensic Medicine and is rated one of the best in this
field. She has been with the FBI for over six years and is called in
on special cases where this background is required. A specialist
in Applied Criminal Psychology and Criminal Behavior. She
has been Scott's partner for the last three years.
SCOTT
(studying the report)
The report says the UNIDENTIFIED
LIFE FORM is inside a Gold Mine.
(hands the package to BASSO)
The CANADIANS are asking for our
help because they don't have a
special unit to deal with U.L.F.
BASSO
Do they know for certain it's an
EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL?
SCOTT
They don't know anything for certain.
What they want, is to blow the mine
and bury it so they don't have to
deal with it.
BASSO
Why do they want to do that, it
could be a friend, not a foe?
SCOTT
I don't know, sometimes it's hard
to deal with something that's not
of this earth.
BASSO
When are we leaving? I know
first thing in the morning.
BASSO
The report says the U.L.F. has
a voice and keeps repeating
something about an impending
earthquake on the JUAN DE FUCA
PLATE.
SCOTT
The Juan De Fuca Plate is the
size of MONTANA and is pushing
up against the continental
plate under PUDGET SOUND.
BASSO
(concerned)
The report says the U.S.G.S
claims the plate is causing
the WASHINGTON coastline to
shift north and is pushing up
about one inch a year. If
there is a quick push the
entire coastline of Washington
State will come unglued.
SCOTT
That's a lot of people that
will get hit with an earthquake
equivalent to the GOOD FRIDAY
ALASKAN EARTHQUAKE.
BASSO
Plus a TSUNAMI like nothing you've
ever seen.
SCOTT
We'll meet with CONSTABLE ALAN
BALDWIN of the Provincial Police
when we get into VANCOUVER. I
think we better bring our new
MOTOROLA LANSAT COMMUNICATOR
and MAGELLAN GPS NAV1000M.
BASSO
What's the GPS? Oh yeah the hand
held GLOBAL POSITIONING SATELLITE
NAVIGATOR.
CUT TO:
EXT. VANCOUVER BRITISH COLUMBIA DAY
EXT. VANCOUVER PROVINCIAL POLICE
INT. OFFICE OF THE CONSTABLE
Scott and Basso are in conference with Constable
ALAN BALDWIN, a very distinguished looking man in his
late forties, talking with a slight Canadian accent.
BALDWIN
Glad your here DR's Scott and
Basso. The only way you can get
to the Town of SQUAMISH is by
steamer Locomotive. I was hoping
we could borrow a chopper from the
Fire Service, but they have a nasty
burn going in BANFF and everything
that flies is now working the fire.
SCOTT
Train is fine with me. May I see
the Canadian Report on the U.L.F?
BALDWIN
Oh, but of course.
(Baldwin pulls out a
folder)
Here you go, as you can see
were really not set up to
deal with this sort of thing.
SCOTT
The mine caretaker discovered
it on one of his rounds last
week?
BALDWIN
That's right, he almost ran
into it. You see he had a
Pit Stop, and he almost
stepped on it.
SCOTT
The caretaker described it
looking like a large worm
or slug?
BALDWIN
I know what your thinking. We
had him take a lie detector
test, and he was telling the
truth.
BASSO
A slug would indicate the ULF
could be a Symbiotic Being and
is looking for a Host Body.
BALDWIN
The chief Constable will not
permit anyone to go in that
mine shaft until we have a
means of identifying it or
stabilizing it. I believe
that's why they sent for
you two.
BASSO
Thanks Constable.
BALDWIN
Thanks for what? I don't
understand?
SCOTT
Oh, she's just being cute.
BALDWIN
Cute? I think she's quite
attractive myself.
SCOTT
When do we leave for Squamish?
BALDWIN
The steamer leaves North Vancouver
at ten-thirty sharp. So we have
an hour to get there. Can I get
you two a spot of tea, oh that's
right you Americans prefer coffee.

INT. TRAIN OBSERVATION CAR
Basso is looking out the window at the Fjord that
runs along the side of the train tracks.
BASSO
It's been a long time since
I rode a train with a view
like this. This is very
beautiful country.
SCOTT
Has anyone reported sightings?
BALDWIN
Sightings?
BASSO
You know, flying saucers?
BALDWIN
Not that I know of.
SCOTT
How long ago was the mine
shut down?
BALDWIN
It's been closed for years.
They use it as a tourist
attraction. They have daily
tours, but since the discovery
of the "Thing", the Chief
Constable shut it down.
A young lady in her mid-thirties is sitting in the
seat in front of Basso. She turns around and looks
at Baldwin.
YOUNG LADY
I heard you people talking
about the U.L.F. You know
the one at Squamish.
BASSO
Excuse me?
YOUNG LADY
(extending her hand
for a handshake)
Let me introduce myself,
LAURIE ENGLISH, a staff
reporter for one of the
local papers.
SCOTT
Baldwin, I thought you put
a lid on this thing.
BALDWIN
We did, but something always
leaks out. I'm Constable Baldwin
this is Doctor's Scott and Basso
from Special Investigations Unit
of the U.S. State Department.
ENGLISH
You know the Bible predicted
all this.
SCOTT
The Bible?
ENGLISH
Yes, of course. In the Millennium
you know the year 2000, the end
of the world, anyway it said we
would make contact, before we're
destroyed.
BALDWIN
Before were destroyed? I'm sorry
my dear but what Bible are you
quoting from?
ENGLISH
Any Bible, you just have to know
how to interpret it. We have five
years before Doomsday and this
will be the year we'll make contact
with visitors from another star.
SCOTT
I would like to read one of
your articles.
ENGLISH
Any newsstand, just ask for
"THE WORD".
SCOTT
The word, I don't think I've
ever heard of it.
(looking at Baldwin)
Constable, have you read "The
Word"?
BALDWIN
No, I've never read it. It's an
internal newspaper for flying
saucer followers.
SCOTT
(looking at English)
Miss English, will you tell us
what you know about the U.L.F.
ENGLISH
Well, it's quite simple. The
visitor is from another Solar
System and is trying to warn
us about the impending disasters
on Earth.
SCOTT
What Solar System do you think
it's from?
ENGLISH
Oh Alpha Centauri, no doubt about
it. Our nearest Star and Solar
System.
BALDWIN
My dear, do you have any proof?
ENGLISH
One of our members has made contact
with our visitor.
BASSO
I beg your pardon?
SCOTT
Made contact with the U.L.F.?
ENGLISH
Yes, one of our followers is
a medium and has been in
contact with it for weeks.
SCOTT
(looking at Baldwin)
I thought your people just
discovered it last week?
BALDWIN
(very upset)
My dear Miss English, the
thing was just discovered
last week, so what is this
rubbish that your medium
has been in contact with
it for weeks?
Basso takes out her micro-cassette tape recorder and
turns it on.
BASSO
Do you mind if we tape this
miss English?
ENGLISH
Oh, I don't care, do what
you want.
BASSO
Thank you, ok now will you
please start from the
beginning.
BALDWIN
Excuse me, I need to go
brush my teeth. Be back
in a few minutes.
(Baldwin gets up
and leaves)
I'll listen to the tape
when I get back.

Constable Baldwin walks up to the Chief Conductor,
JAMES JACKSON, A black man in his late fifties.
BALDWIN
Jimmy, why didn't you tell me
we had that crazy newspaper
lady on board!
JACKSON
Sorry Constable, she must have
snuck by me. If she's causing
you any trouble, I'll have a
talk with her.
BALDWIN
Did you spot any of her friends
getting on the train.
JACKSON
No sir I didn't, I think she's
alone this time.
BALDWIN
When we get to Squamish, have
one of your people watch her.
I don't want her anywhere near
the Mine.
JACKSON
Yes sir, I'll take care of it.
SCOTT
I need to use your phone?
JACKSON
No problem, it's in the next staff
car. Is there anything else that
you need?
SCOTT
Yes, will you have one of the
stewards bring me some tea.
Earl Gray, hot!

Basso and Scott are taping a conversation with Laurie
English.
ENGLISH
Oh really, brush his teeth!
He's probably gone to see
the Chief Conductor to have
me thrown off the Train.
BASSO
Nobody's throwing you off the
train as long as we're here.
Go on, you were saying.
ENGLISH
Anyway, MEG MILLER a medium
on the newspapers staff made
contact about two months ago.
BASSO
(interrupting)
Excuse me does the visitor have
a name?
ENGLISH
Yes, it does Mr. EK.
BASSO
Ok, go ahead.
ENGLISH
Mr. Ek told Meg he would meet
her in the Squamish Goldmine
shaft 6B. Mr. Ek said he had
a very important message for
us. Something to do with the
impending earthquake off the
coast of Seattle.
SCOTT
Did he say, when this would take
place.
ENGLISH
We were interrupted by visitors
at the mine and he had to go
back in hiding. He did say it
had to do with the re-alignment
of the Planet, it's called "The
Polar Shift", It happens every
ten thousand years.
BASSO
Was that mentioned in the Bible
too?
ENGLISH
Oh no, Mr. Ek told us about the
Planet re-alignment.
SCOTT
Did you talk to him too?
ENGLISH
Oh yes, we both talked to him,
I thought I mentioned that before.
SCOTT
When does the Polar shift start?
ENGLISH
Mr. Ek, said the first part of
1995, then it will all end by
the year 2000. He said we'll
have more earthquakes, Volcanoes
and floods than we have ever had.
SCOTT
He told you and your friend all
of this in one visit?
ENGLISH
He would have told us more if the
stupid tour guide hadn't come bye
and spooked him. We were going to
come and see him the next day then
they shut the mine down.
BASSO
How long will he be here?
ENGLISH
He must leave on the next full
moon, that's two days from now.
He said it took him one of our
earth years to get here from his
home planet and he must return.
BASSO
Did you get a good look at him?
ENGLISH
He stayed in the shadows most of
the time, but he did appear to
be the size of a small child and
he told us he was a shape shifter
and had a difficult time resembling
earth people. He said if we were
to see his true form, we may be
upset and could not continue to
meet with him. He did sort of look
like a very large slug.
SCOTT
Is that it?
ENGLISH
Pretty much. Oh yes, his people
will pick him up next to the Fjord.
BASSO
Did you ask for the time of pickup?
ENGLISH
I think you just ran out of tape
Miss Basso. And I think we just
ran out of time. The Constable
is bringing the Chief Conductor.
Baldwin walks up with the Chief Conductor.
JACKSON
Miss English, may I speak to you
for a minute.

The Chief Conductor is having a talk with the newspaper
lady Laurie English.
ENGLISH
Jimmy, I don't know what he
told you but I haven't done
a thing. Baldwin hates me.
JACKSON
Sorry Laurie, I must ask you
to leave them alone or I'll
have to confine you to this
car.
ENGLISH
They were talking to me and
I was just answering their
questions.
JACKSON
Laurie, if I don't do what
Baldwin tells me he'll report
me to the Director.
ENGLISH
Ok, I'll find another seat
but you better hang around
cause they're going to approach me again.
JACKSON
Oh, by the way, Baldwin said
you're not to go in the mine.
ENGLISH
No way, he can't do that.

Basso, Scott and Baldwin look up and see Laurie
English sit down at another seat at the front of
the car.
BASSO
Why is she sitting up there, we
haven't finished taping her
statement.
BALDWIN
She's been told to leave you
two alone.
SCOTT
(interrupting)
Excuse me Constable, but we're
interrogating her in regards to
the U.L.F.
BALDWIN
You don't believe any of that
rubbish she was telling you,
do you?
BASSO
We have to cover everything
even the most ridiculous
sounding statements. It's
our job Constable and your
preventing us from doing,
our job.
SCOTT
Do we have to go over your
head to get this interview?
BALDWIN
That won't be necessary, very
well as of now she's your
responsibility, if something
goes wrong, you're libel not me.
Baldwin walks over to English and whispers to her then
walks through the door heading for the staff car. She
walks back to Scott and Basso.
ENGLISH
That swine, he's so damn pompous
and proper. Everything has to
be by the book, his book. Now
where were we.
BASSO
Mr. Ek mentioned the date of
the Seattle earthquake.
ENGLISH
Mr. Ek said it would be in
thirty days.
SCOTT
Did you ask him how he knew?
ENGLISH
Oh yes, he said back on his planet
they have a program where all the
Solar Systems are constantly being
monitored and when they see any kind
of a problem they contact the people
of that planet.
SCOTT
When does the planet realignment or
Polar Shift start?
ENGLISH
Mr. Ek, said 1995 and will continue
through the end of the millennium.
It should be over by the year 2000.
SCOTT
Did he tell you what we can do to
survive the apocalypse?
ENGLISH
He said his people can relocate some
of us to another planet, but we would
have to be ready to go within a year.
BASSO
Did he say what Solar System
or what planet?
ENGLISH
He said LO, one of the moons
of JUPITER has an atmosphere very similar to EARTH, and
could move some of us there.
BASSO
If we can get authorization to
go in the mine, will you go with
us?
ENGLISH
Oh, I don't think the constable
will permit that.
SCOTT
Let us worry about the constable.
ENGLISH
I would be delighted, as long as
my paper gets exclusive rights
to whatever we find.
BASSO
We'll take care of it. So what
do you say, will you go with
us?
ENGLISH
It will be my pleasure.
SCOTT
I'll go find Baldwin and get
his support.
Scott gets up and goes through the door heading for
the staff car.
BASSO
Have you spoken to your people
about leaving earth?
ENGLISH
Were sort of split on that
right now.
Scott returns and sits down next to Basso.
SCOTT
You would think this is the
ORIENT EXPRESS the way we
have all of this intrigue
and mystery!
BASSO
Miss English just told me Mr.
Ek has offered to re-locate
some of her members to LO
one of Jupiter's moons.
SCOTT
If I'm not mistaken, LO has
a lot of Volcanic activity
and the atmosphere may not
be as clean as Earth.
ENGLISH
I mentioned the same thing to
him and he said the only bad
air comes from being near the
volcanoes, and he said there's
a place near the lower hemisphere
where the air is as clean as the
earth.
BASSO
Will you be able to live off the
land or will you have to take
provisions?
ENGLISH
For hundreds of years they've
been transplanting animals to
LO to use as a back up Planet
for a civilization that requires
a stable atmosphere with oxygen
and all the necessary minerals
to sustain life as we know it.
SCOTT
In your conversation with Mr.
Ek, has he ever mentioned where
he's from?
ENGLISH
In conversation I think I've
asked him what planet he's
from and he said he'll tell
me when he leaves.
BASSO
Don't you find that rather
strange that he won't tell
you where he's from, but is
willing to re-locate your
people to another planet.
ENGLISH
In military service you're
told to give only your rank
and serial number, right?
SCOTT
Yes, but were not the enemy?
ENGLISH
Mr. Ek said that for years
they've been observing our
planet and they find earth
people are a very violent
species. Two world wars
in thirty years, small wars
all the time, and on and on.
BASSO
His point is well taken.
The train starts to slow down and a blast from the
engines whistle is heard. A small town comes into
view.

Well, it looks like were
finally in Squamish!

be proper we have a nice
English lunch at the "BLUE
BOAR" pub. I see no objections
so shall we go.
Scott, Basso and English are walking together and
Baldwin is out front like a parade master.
BALDWIN
I would recommend the meat pie
and a glass of their best Ale.
They may have Trifle if you
have a taste for it.
They walk down the center of town and one of the
shops gets Basso's eye.
BASSO
Oh, look at that quaint little
shop, you guys go ahead, I'll
catch up, order me a turkey
sandwich, and hot tea.
Basso stands in front of the shop and notices the
name.
BASSO
What a name for a shop "INDEED"
A young lady in her thirties comes out of the shop and
looks at Basso.
YOUNG LADY
Why don't you come in and make
me an offer on anything. I'm
closing shop and leaving town.

I always have our best table
reserved for you Constable
Baldwin.
The owner takes them to the table with a view of
the mountain range near the town. He takes their
order and brings water, Ale and tea.
BALDWIN
Miss English let's bury the
hatchet ok. Dr. Scott will
be responsible for whatever
you do so I'm off the hook,
as you know I'm retiring in
a few years and I can't muky
up my pension.
ENGLISH
I understand Constable, I wish
I had a Pension to look forward
to.
SCOTT
You mentioned some of the members
of you organization being ready
to re-locate. Are they mainstream
Canadians or eccentric individuals.
ENGLISH
None of them are Loony Tunes
if that's what you mean.
BALDWIN
Locate where?
SCOTT
In a prior conversation Miss
English mentioned the visitor
offered to re-locate some of
the members of her organization
to LO one of Jupiter's Moons.
BALDWIN
The visitor and his fellow
slugs are probably giant
maggots and are going to
have her people for dinner.
And they will be the main
course.
ENGLISH
Baldwin, your a Swine.
SCOTT
Cut it out you two.
BALDWIN
I was just having a little fun.
The owner walks up with their salad and appetizers.
MCKAY
I heard that Constable and
the wife and I are thinking
of being a part of the re-
location project.
BALDWIN
Your one of them too?
MCKAY
Are you sure that you still
want to eat here.
BALDWIN

hot tea)
I call that place next door,
"NEEDFUL THINGS" you know
like the STEPHEN KING book.
BALDWIN
Miss Basso, this place is
so remote, the people will
sell you their soul if your
interested.
ENGLISH
I understand Constable, I know
the lady next door, she's a
member of my organization.
BASSO
That explains what she said to me.
I asked her why she was liquidating
her shop, and she said because of LO.
So I said, what's LO, and she said
all of her friends were going to LO,
so why stick around.
ENGLISH
(pointing to the owner)
So is Mr. and Mrs. Liam Mckay.
BASSO
Oh really, you must have a lot of
your members in this town.
SCOTT
(looking at Baldwin)
LO is one of Jupiter's Moons.
BALDWIN
I know, you told me about the
slug wanting to re-locate
them. They currently have a
major problem in Seattle
with giant slugs, so it
looks like we ended up with
one in Vancouver.
ENGLISH
Baldwin, you're a Blue Boar Swine.
BALDWIN
I'll consider that a compliment!
BALDWIN
Oh come now, a slug that talks?
The owner walks up with their main course.
MCKAY
I heard that Constable, and
Mr. Ek is not a giant slug,
he's a symbiotic being, a
shape shifter, his planet
is millions of years more
advanced then we are.
BALDWIN
Have you had conversation with
Mr. Ek?
MCKAY
If you think I'm going to admit

SCOTT
If you can't be objective, don't
say anything, ok. I don't want
to have to report you to your
Director. We can't do this with
you constantly on her back, one
more outburst with your sarcasm
and we walk, then try to explain
that to your Director.
BALDWIN
I hear you loud and clear mate!
The tram driver announces they will be at the Gold
Mine in five minutes.
SCOTT
Baldwin, I want to go in with
Miss English first, make contact
then I will assess the risk. If
I feel it's a low risk situation,
I'll come and get both of you,
otherwise, I'll call Washington

Hello Miss English, who is your
friend?

This is Mr. Scott, he's with
a special branch of the United
States government, for handling
this sort of thing. You can trust
him, I do. He will not harm you!
EK
Delighted Mr. Scott and what
do I owe the pleasure of this
visit.
SCOTT
There are certain people that want
to protect you, and of course there
are people that will try to harm you.
I will do everything in my power to
protect you, and you must trust me.

Miss Basso, are you and Dr. Scott
planning on being in town for a
few days after this mess is over?
BASSO
Gee, I don't know, why?
BALDWIN
Well, I thought you could join
me for an excellent seafood
dinner at the Manta Ray, one
of Vancouver's better seafood
restaurant.
BASSO
Is it all right if Dr. Scott
joins us?
BALDWIN
Well I was just planning a
quite little one-on-one.
Scott calls Basso on the radio, and gives the all clear.
BASSO
Ok, we have the ok, let's go.
BALDWIN
One of us should stay out here
for safety reasons, so why
don't you go ahead I'll stay
out here. Give me your radio
and we'll stay in touch.

As you wish Constable.

Take a picture of the thing,
so I have something to show
the director.

They arrive to see English in conversation with Mr. Ek.
English turns around and faces Basso.
ENGLISH
Come over here Dr. Basso.
Mr. Ek and I have just had a
very nice conversation about
Lo. I had no idea Lo was
populated already.
SCOTT
Excuse me?
ENGLISH
Mr. Ek has a device like a
small VCR and monitor. We
were looking at videos of
the current people on LO.
SCOTT
Mr. Ek, I want you to meet
Dr. Barbie Basso, my associate.
All Basso and Scott can see is something moving in
the shadows.
BASSO
Please to meet you Mr. Ek.
I mean you no harm, so I
want you to feel very comfortable with me. Do
you trust me?
MR. EK
I trust you Miss Basso.
BASSO
Good, I heard you say there
are people on LO as we speak?
MR. EK
Oh, for quite some time.
SCOTT
Did your people rescue them from
some other planet?
MR. EK
Yes we did.
BASSO
What planet did you rescue them
from?
MR. EK
The fourth planet from your sun.
You see we rescued several
thousand people from that planet
before their Polar Shift or Planet
realignment. So we're attempting
to do the same thing with your
people.
BASSO
How do you know they will like
you bringing more settlers?
MR. EK
The LOANIAN'S are very peaceful
people and cause no trouble to
anyone. We have already discussed
the move with them and they will
be ready to help your people make
the transition.
SCOTT
We realize you seem to be a very
