Strange alien beings offer a strange loaf of bread to Carl Youngstrom in exchange for a jug of water. The aliens want him to eat the lotus-shaped bread but he manages to save some as evidence. Loosely based on Joe Simonton and the Eagle River encounter.

FunTranscript
00:00Ezekiel saw the wheel. This is the wheel he said he saw. These are unidentified flying
00:23objects that people say they are seeing now. Are they proof that we are being visited
00:29by civilizations from other stars? Or just what are they? The United States Air Force
00:37began an investigation of this high strangeness in a search for the truth. What you are about
00:44to see is part of that 20-year search.
01:44Take this last shot and get out of this tacky place. Mr. Flanagan? Yes, Ms. Shields. Where
01:50do you want me? Uh, right here is fine. I'll ask you my last question, you answer me and
01:54go inside. All right, fellas, lock it up and roll. Okay, guys. One last question, Mr. Flanagan.
02:02What makes you think that just because you're an extremely successful industrialist that
02:06you can enter the race for the Senate with absolutely no political experience and expect
02:11to win? Because the voters of my party and the politicians are sick and tired of politics
02:19as usual. And heaven knows Washington can use all the new talent it can get. Thanks
02:26for coming out here, Ms. Shields. It was nice to have you visit. I'll see you in Washington
02:30next November. Good. So, Frederick Flanagan, one of the most successful businessmen in
02:36a state famous for success stories, is taking on a new challenge, politics. This is Christy
02:42Shields on location in the Midwest. Okay, guys, that does it. It's a wrap. See you at
02:47the hotel, Chris. Gotta thank Flanagan. What time's that plane for Chicago? 10.20. And
02:52a 9 a.m. shooting call. Pardon me, sir. Couldn't I or any other household give you a hand?
02:58Thanks a lot, fella. You belong to the wrong union. Thanks again for yesterday and today,
03:03Mr. Flanagan. I think it'll make a good segment. You certainly make things easier, Ms. Shields.
03:07You're on a good ship. I hope you didn't mind my adding that see you in Washington. Thanks
03:12again. Why, don't you have time for a drink? I just assumed most of you would join me.
03:16Well, we're all fighting the clock, sir. But maybe just a short one. Good.
03:34Keep that up and I'll interview you every other day, Mr. Flanagan. I'm all for it. Did
03:48you ever interview anybody before breakfast? You know, I couldn't stay even if you promised
03:54me an exclusive on what your platform will be. Why should I do you a favor? You won't
04:00even stay for breakfast.
06:00No, I won't.
06:30Doug Flanagan? Who owns all those companies? Yeah. Carl Youngstrom has been with the Flanagan
06:50family practically all his life. Gardener, carpenter, handyman, sober, churchgoer, respected.
06:58But no corroboration. No other witnesses. Maybe something we get there in the morning.
07:03Radar reports in yet? I requested coverage within a five hundred mile radius. What about
07:08Canada? Wasn't too far from the border. I'm picking those up from NORAD. We'll have the
07:13U.S. and Canada both.
07:28Holy Toledo. Still about as out of place as a wild boar in a plum thicket.
07:50Now, if I'm in the way at all, Major. Not at all, sir. And we would like to talk with
07:57you after we hear Mr. Youngstrom's story. I just thought all of us discussing it here
08:01might be more convenient. I realize you two gentlemen couldn't have had time for breakfast
08:05in town. Your teams move fast, don't they? We try, sir. It helps when we have so much
08:11cooperation. Mr. Youngstrom, can you tell us in your own words exactly what happened
08:15last night? I... I can't find the words to express it. The object was overwhelming.
08:27It was glorious. Why don't you start ten minutes before anything unusual happened? Well, I was
08:35down at the gatehouse. Of course, I lived there. Mr. Flanagan's father offered it to
08:41my late wife and me when we were married. It was late, maybe ten o'clock. I'm usually
08:49in bed at that time, but it was good I was awake, wasn't it, Major? Yes, sir. Please
08:55go on. Because I was working on a dollhouse for my granddaughter Cynthia. I want to have
09:02it finished by June 3rd because that's her sixth birthday. I happen to be skillful with
09:10my hands. And the communication lights, the lights that connect the buildings at the estate,
09:17suddenly they start to flash off and on, on and off.
10:47I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
11:17I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I
11:24don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
11:31know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
11:38I don't know.
12:08They were thirsty. And one brought me a beautiful jar, almost like alabaster, 12 inches high.
12:23And he started to hand it to me, but...
12:38And he started to hand it to me, but...
13:08Is there any word?
13:29What?
13:59And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
14:29And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
14:39And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
14:49And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
14:59And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
15:09And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
15:19And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
15:29And I knew that they wanted me to eat of the loam.
15:54That gift from them is a treasure beyond price.
15:57They understood the nourishment those on earth need.
16:01Tastes it like a simple bread.
16:03Mr. Youngstrom, you mind if we take a sample?
16:05Of course not. I feel they were offering this to mankind.
16:13Mr. Youngstrom, could you show us exactly where all this happened?
16:17Of course. As long as it doesn't take too long.
16:20Because today is the day I visit my daughter at Island Lake.
16:24And she expects me for noon dinner.
16:27And of course I would like to tell her.
16:29We'll make it as quick as we can, sir.
16:32Yes, as I told you, it started at Gate House.
16:35Hurry, I'll catch up with you soon.
16:37Yes, sir.
16:38Carl, use the station wagon.
16:40And give my best to Helga.
16:42I do thank you, sir.
16:43Tell me, Major.
16:45Have you ever investigated a UFO sighting like this?
16:49No, sir.
16:50Not where the subject was approached by the alien.
16:53And left tangible evidence.
16:55Then this is unique.
16:57If Mr. Youngstrom has experienced everything he's told us,
17:00there are certainly unique aspects.
17:02Major, are you saying you doubt his word?
17:05There are cooperations to be made or not made.
17:07We'll have to send a sample off to the lab before we know for sure.
17:10Do I hear or know the synthesis of Major?
17:12No, sir.
17:13Just an honest attempt to find the truth.
17:16To explain what I honestly believe,
17:18Mr. Youngstrom is convinced he saw.
17:20That's all I'm asking, Major.
17:22Let me walk you to the door.
17:24I can find my way, sir.
17:25I blazed a trail every hundred yards.
17:37Listen, darling, you've got to let me come back and cover it.
17:40I mean, I'm traipsing all over the country
17:42and these jerkwater reporters are getting page two stories.
17:45Now, listen, haven't we been a pretty good pair so far?
17:49Fred, I know Carl.
17:51Carl knows me.
17:52I'm the logical...
17:53You'll get your story.
17:55You'll get the story.
17:56There's as much of knowing when as how.
17:59But is it true?
18:00I mean, really?
18:01A flying saucer?
18:03I didn't see it, honey.
18:04How can anybody prove it's not true?
18:07That's an interesting way to look at it, isn't it?
18:09Now, listen, Chris, I've got your itinerary
18:11and I'll send up a flare as soon as I need you,
18:13which might be sooner than you think.
18:15Well, I like your use of the verb need in all its definitions.
18:19Bye, darling.
18:20I'll see you on the six o'clock news.
18:22Settle for that if I have to.
18:24Bye, darling.
18:42Oh, Major Gatlin.
18:44They've been trying to reach you.
18:45Your office at Wright-Patterson Field, Dayton, Ohio.
18:47When?
18:48Fifteen minutes ago.
18:49Want me to get them back?
18:50Please.
18:51You can take the call right there.
18:53You know, Major, I've been thinking.
18:55I won't report you.
18:57How many investigations we've been on these last five years?
19:00Oh, seven or eight hundred, I guess.
19:02Seven hundred and fifty-three.
19:04And how many Sundays a week?
19:06I don't know.
19:08Seven hundred and fifty-three.
19:10And how many Sundays have we spent in some little burg
19:12where if they do have a decent restaurant, it's closed?
19:15They never have the right funny papers,
19:17and the movies are at least two years old.
19:19Seven hundred and fifty-two.
19:22Who's counting?
19:23Foreign Technology Division.
19:25Libby Verden speaking.
19:26I've got your call, Major.
19:29Hello.
19:30Oh, hi, Major.
19:31That lab report came in on the Carl Youngstrom cake,
19:34or bread, or whatever it is.
19:36Okay, Libby, let's have it.
19:38Okay.
19:39Uh, we have completed our examination
19:42of the material submitted with your telex of May 18.
19:45Microscopic analysis shows the presence of hydrogenated fat,
19:49starch, wheat, bran, soybean, and buckwheat hulls
19:52with a small amount of disaccharides.
19:54You know what disaccharides are, Major?
19:56Sugar, Libby.
19:57Keep going.
19:58Bacteriological examination and measurement of radioactivity
20:02gave results which are consistent with the view
20:04that the article is a muffin or pancake of unusual shape,
20:08but definitely of terrestrial origin.
20:11Remainder sample is being held.
20:13Penny, your instructions.
20:14Signed, Captain M.L. Yankworth, assistant to the etc.
20:18Okay, thanks.
20:19He's got a personal comment he wrote in.
20:22What?
20:23Jake, you could enter this in an old-fashioned bake-off
20:26and come in about third.
20:28Major, what do you want me to do?
20:31Nothing, Libby.
20:33There's nothing to do.
20:34So long. I'll be in touch with you.
20:38And?
20:39Let's take a Sunday drive, Harry.
20:45That nice old guy doesn't have any reason to make up a pipe dream like that.
20:49He's not looking for publicity.
20:51In fact, I think this whole thing is beginning to bug him a little.
20:54He didn't make it up.
20:55He believes it really happened.
20:57But how?
20:58He doesn't drink.
20:59I hope I'm as healthy as he is at his age.
21:01Like the first rundown said,
21:03sober, church-going, honest, faithful and true.
21:07Mr. Eagle Scout.
21:09Why, Major?
21:10That's why they're paying us, Sergeant.
21:12Listen, I'm all ears.
21:14I admit it.
21:15Objectivity and all that.
21:17Sure, no value judgments, okay?
21:19But listen, I'm on old Carl's side.
21:22Of all the subjects we've ever talked to,
21:24I think Carl's as straight as a string.
21:26I think he's for real.
21:28Okay, sound prejudice, okay?
21:30Keep talking.
21:31Who's to say these extraterrestrials,
21:33the beings in the UFO,
21:35who's to say they don't have starches and soybean and buckwheat, huh?
21:40So the lab does say it's like the pancakes Mama used to make.
21:43Maybe there's lots of Mamas in outer space making away like crazy.
21:47All I'm saying, Major,
21:49is one loaf that a test tube says is buckwheat
21:51does not make Carl Youngstrom a liar.
21:53That's right.
21:54Can't prove a negative.
21:55Thought your mind was made up.
21:57We're still missing something.
21:59I don't even know what to look for.
22:01I can't smell it or taste it or see it,
22:03but I can feel we're missing something.
22:05Something we've missed because it's right in front of our eyes.
22:30Oh, Major Gatlin!
22:32I'm sorry, I didn't know you were expected.
22:34Oh, Mr. Flanagan's away for the weekend.
22:36Well, actually, he wanted to talk to Mr. Youngstrom.
22:39Oh, he's with his daughter over at Island Lake every Sunday afternoon.
22:43Is it urgent, Major?
22:45Could we reach him by phone?
22:47Helga doesn't have a phone,
22:49but it's only 20 or 30 minutes away from here.
22:51Oh, I see.
22:53Well, I'm afraid I can't.
22:55Could we reach him by phone?
22:57Helga doesn't have a phone,
22:59but it's only 20 or 30 minutes drive from here.
23:01It's very pretty. You'd enjoy it.
23:03All right, then. Can you please tell us how to get there?
23:05Helga Oldberg.
23:07The house is on the other side of the lake.
23:091222 Lake Front Terrace.
23:11Thank you very much.
23:18Mrs. Helga Oldberg?
23:20Yes.
23:21Oh, are you looking for Papa?
23:23Come in, please. Come in. Papa told me.
23:27This is Sergeant Harry Fitz. I'm Jake Gatlin.
23:29Yes, Major Gatlin.
23:31Please come in and sit down, gentlemen.
23:33Oh, Papa's told me all the interviews you've had with him.
23:37You just missed him.
23:39Please sit down.
23:40We don't want to impose on you, ma'am.
23:42Impose? Don't be silly.
23:44Isn't it exciting seeing a flying saucer?
23:47You know, there have been several in the States around here,
23:50but Papa with his own eyes.
23:53I've been baking, which means you're just in time for some cookies,
23:56right from the oven. Butterscotch or oatmeal, which?
23:59That's very kind of you, Mrs. Oldberg, but...
24:01Helga, which?
24:04Butterscotch, please.
24:05Oatmeal, please, ma'am.
24:07Tea or cocoa?
24:08Just cookies, thank you.
24:13You must tell me all about your work.
24:15I'm simply fascinated by the whole idea of UFOs. Aren't you?
24:19The most interesting assignment I've ever had, that's true.
24:24What has happened today that is so important, Major?
24:27Important, Mrs. Oldberg?
24:29Now, you don't come out of your way like this to talk to Papa
24:32when you could wait till evening and meet him at home,
24:34unless something has come up.
24:36Oh, our people back in Ohio had a little piece of information
24:39we just wanted to check with your father.
24:41Oh, like confirmations from radar stations?
24:44Were there any signals at all that night?
24:46You seem to know quite a bit about this subject, Mrs. Oldberg.
24:48Helga, and just because we live in the sticks
24:51doesn't mean we don't read newspapers and books
24:53and keep up with things, now does it?
24:55But really, can you tell me, were there any radar stations
24:59or air traffic controls that spotted anything unusual that night?
25:02Not that we heard from yet, ma'am, no.
25:05Ah, then you probably think Papa is mistaken.
25:10All we're trying to do is to explain, to everybody's satisfaction,
25:13his, yours, the Air Force, the public,
25:17to everybody's satisfaction what happened.
25:19And sometimes we can't. We admit that.
25:22And that's what unidentified means.
25:24But it's not often we get a bonus like this. You're quite a cook.
25:27Thank you. Have some more.
25:29You say you bake butterscotch and oatmeal cookies, ma'am?
25:32Helga?
25:33Those two are my specialties, and Papa's favorite.
25:36You ever made any buckwheat cookies?
25:38Oh, I don't think I've had buckwheat flour in the house for years.
25:41Why?
25:42Oh, nothing.
25:43Just one of those things I remember from when I was a little kid.
25:46Bet you don't hear about much anymore.
25:48You didn't inherit your baking talents, did you?
25:52Mr. Youngstrom's a baker and a cook as well as an expert carpenter?
25:56No, Papa doesn't cook.
25:59Now really, why are you asking me these innocent questions?
26:02They're important. Believe us.
26:06If you ask me straight out, gentlemen, I will tell you anything I know, anything about Papa.
26:11No, he does not cook. No, he does not make cookies.
26:14He has not done any carpentry work for years and years.
26:17He's the head gardener at the estate.
26:19You've been very courteous and considerate, and we appreciate it.
26:22And we're not trying to trick anybody into anything, believe me.
26:25I meant the carpentry as a compliment to your father.
26:28We saw that wonderful dollhouse he's making for your daughter, Cynthia.
26:33I don't understand.
26:35How would Cynthia come into this?
26:37Well, he just happened to mention that the dollhouse he's making is for his granddaughter, Cynthia.
26:42It's amazing workmanship.
26:44For her birthday, ma'am. June 3rd, isn't it?
26:49Forgive me. I'm sorry.
26:54I'm sorry if we've said anything to upset you.
26:58No, it was just a shock to me. I didn't know anything about it.
27:02You see, Cynthia and her father,
27:05Cynthia and Edward, were drowned last summer.
27:14He's making her a dollhouse?
27:35Here.
27:40Wait, Mr. Youngstrom. Don't leave yet.
27:42What was the flying saucer really like?
27:44Your family's all waiting.
27:46Tell us! Tell us that!
27:48Well, I thought of going back to my daughter.
27:52Please!
27:53All right. I'll tell you what happened.
27:56Let me sit down first.
27:59It happened at Mr. Flanagan's estate, where I guess you know I work.
28:05It was about bedtime
28:07when I heard a strange, weird sound in the sky.
28:11Like a jet?
28:13Like nothing I've ever heard before.
28:15High and piercing.
28:17And then at the same time,
28:19an incredible light, bluish white,
28:22came in from the sky, so I ran outside.
28:25A few hundred yards away, as high as a house,
28:30was a saucer.
28:31A flying saucer
28:33with all the incredible machinery all over it.
28:36It was, well, I would guess,
28:40about 60, 70 feet in diameter
28:43and tapering off to maybe 30 foot at the base.
28:47Then there were exhaust pipes,
28:49six inches in diameter,
28:51spaced about a foot apart.
28:54And then wheels that spun around and around
28:59and around and around.
29:02And then a huge hatch opened.
29:07And then they invited me into their spaceship.
29:38They showed me their propulsion system,
29:40more complicated than anything on Earth.
31:37Thanks, Mr. Youngstern.
31:52Gee, are you lucky.
31:56Do you believe them?
31:57I don't believe them.
31:59Hmm.
32:10Major, I have stopped your teletype message
32:12until I could discuss its contents.
32:14Seems to me you're taking a lot of responsibility on yourself.
32:17That's why I'm here, Colonel.
32:19You're the local base commander.
32:21This entire investigation has been aided through your personnel.
32:24But I'd like to think that my recommendations
32:26do have your approval before forwarding to the right path.
32:29For openers, we can't prove Carl Youngstern didn't see something.
32:32And the more controversy we get into,
32:34the more the public is going to think there is something we're not revealing.
32:37If I may interject, sir, threat analysis is absolutely negative.
32:41Unless we just drop it, I think we're running a risk
32:43of seriously embarrassing Mr. Youngstern.
32:45Enough to injure his mental health, perhaps permanently.
32:48Major, I think that's exactly the kind of area
32:51we have to leave to a psychologist, an expert.
32:53You have people with clinical experience.
32:55Indeed we do, and we are well backgrounded in this type of situation.
32:59Sergeant Fitz and I have investigated several sightings
33:02where it was decided the subjects could become even more aberrational
33:05if fruitless inquiries were continued.
33:07Well, your inquiry shows here that Youngstern has been normal, active,
33:11perfectly sane, rational up to now.
33:14I believe his hallucinations and the follow-on delusion
33:17is a one-time experience, brought on by a very unusual personal trauma.
33:21You're aware, Major, that Frederick Flanagan is especially interested in this case?
33:24Of course he is. Mr. Youngstern lives on the Flanagan estate.
33:28It's more than a paternalistic interest, I assure you.
33:31His office has made a special request, informal to be sure,
33:35but to be kept up to date on everything.
33:38Sir, I found Mr. Flanagan to be very understanding,
33:40and personally, I think he's intrigued by the story,
33:42and he didn't put much stock in it.
33:44So I can't see how his interest is pertinent to us.
33:46Major, this is your baby.
33:48Major, this is your baby.
33:50Okay. I'll let it go.
33:52Thank you, sir.
33:53Ops, immediate.
33:54Yes, sir.
33:55Gentlemen.
34:03If the plan comes through before then, I'll call you motel, sir.
34:06Otherwise, figure I'm hitching the 135 to Dayton at 1800 hours.
34:10Got a deal.
34:11Got any ideas on how to kill the rest of the afternoon?
34:15There are some good game shows on the tube.
34:31Major Gatlin.
34:34Who?
34:35Christy Shields, Major.
34:36I'm calling for Frederick Flanagan.
34:39Yes, that Christy Shields.
34:41Major, Mr. Flanagan called me from the airport
34:44and asked me to invite you and Sergeant Fitz to meet him at his house.
34:48Well, if you leave the motel right now, he'll arrive when you do.
34:51Miss Shields, that's awfully short notice.
34:53We're scheduled to take off early tonight for Dayton.
34:55Yes, you're flying out at 6 p.m. on a military air transport.
34:58You'll have plenty of time.
35:00It is essential that you meet with Mr. Flanagan.
35:03Well, if it's essential, we'll be there.
35:05Good.
35:06Miss Shields.
35:07Yes?
35:08Yes?
35:09Am I to infer that you'll be there, too?
35:11Well, that's a very reasonable assumption.
35:13Then this is some kind of media coverage.
35:16Well, a lot depends on what you have to say, Major.
35:19But it's certainly on the record.
35:21I see.
35:22All right, 20 minutes.
35:24Goodbye, Major.
35:31Off to the races. Important races. No telling how big.
35:35You know, I still don't really get it, Fred.
35:37Those Blue Book jokers put their heads right in it.
35:39They're dropping it, dropping it cold.
35:41And I'm going to make sure that nobody back at E.T.I.C. will pick it up until I warn them to.
35:45And by then, it's going to be too late.
35:47For what?
35:48Don't you see?
35:49I'll have the one big plank for my platform.
35:51The one story that no other candidate is going to even be close to.
35:55Who's covering up on UFOs?
35:57Why?
35:58How dare the military keep us civilians in the dark?
36:01It's perfect.
36:02I'll take on the armed services in the Pentagon,
36:05and I'll keep them on the defensive all through the campaign.
36:09Oh.
36:10You think I might get an exclusive or two on that, Senator?
36:14I think that's a very reasonable assumption.
36:18Say that again, will you?
36:21Say what?
36:23Senator Flanagan.
36:25Oh.
36:33How does a normal, everyday, hard-working sense of a man
36:38come up with a story about a flying saucer
36:41and humanoids who give him strange objects and drink from jugs that defy gravity
36:45and a gift of food?
36:47Oh, I know you say he could have bought the pancake mix in the supermarket.
36:51But why does a man come up with those details
36:55unless he experiences them?
36:57I think because Mr. Youngstrom is a devout and religious man.
37:00What the hell does religion have to do with all this?
37:02You never mentioned religion in your report.
37:04No, I didn't because I thought it was much too personal.
37:06An invasion of his privacy.
37:08And because it was and is just my own subjective opinion of the underlying cause.
37:12I find that fascinating, Major Gatlin.
37:14I'd certainly like to hear your subjective opinion.
37:17Because he never got over the tragic shock of Cynthia's death,
37:20and he turned to his religion for comfort.
37:22We're talking specifics, Major.
37:24Floating alabaster jugs and humanoids and spaceships.
37:28So am I.
37:30I think that Carl Youngstrom sought out an answer to his grief
37:33in the only authority he could accept, his Bible.
37:36And he wanted very much to receive some comfort.
37:39He imagined it coming to him in a very specific, tangible, dramatic way.
37:43What specific way?
37:45Mr. Youngstrom always referred to the sighting as awesome, glorious.
37:49The craft had a heavenly glow.
37:51He said the people who greeted him knew what he was thinking,
37:54which is the quality of angels.
37:56He told us of a jar of alabaster, a substance found throughout the Bible.
38:00A jar which floated through the air, which spilled.
38:03The cup which runneth over.
38:05We think he considered the loaf in the truly biblical sense.
38:08Bread, the staff of life.
38:10The staff which comforteth.
38:15And that's your story, Major?
38:17Yes, sir. That's my story.
38:19Major Gatlin, I think that's the same kind of moonshine and poppycock and privilege
38:24that Project Blue Book has been feeding us civilians for years.
38:27We pay billions and we get amateur explanations.
38:30We get hundreds of legitimate sightings that you guys just sweep under the rugs.
38:35Well, this is one you're not gonna bury.
38:37And after I get through with you and your superiors,
38:40the people of this state and this country are gonna get some straight answers.
38:43Sir, the facts will bear me out.
38:45Facts? You spot off religious soap bubbles.
38:48You accuse a man whose father worked for my father,
38:51You accuse a man whose father worked for my father,
38:53a man I know like a member of my own family.
38:55You're accusing Carl of being a religious wacko.
38:58No, sir. Just being deluded.
39:00You knew he was deluded.
39:01I knew?
39:02All I know about Carl is he's as sensible as I am.
39:06That's not strictly true, sir.
39:07Are you calling me a liar?
39:09No.
39:10I'm just saying that on the record,
39:12I believe you know that Mr. Youngstrom's story is a result of his temporary mental imbalance.
39:17And in spite of that, you intend to make political capital of it.
39:20I've had to kick a lot of rear ends to get where I am.
39:23But believe me, kicking yours is gonna be a real pleasure.
39:27If you can kick me out of my job, Mr. Flanagan, maybe it isn't worth having in the first place.
39:31And I'll take my chance, sir.
39:33I'm perfectly sure we can prove that you knew that Carl wasn't mentally stable that night.
39:37Only I know what I thought about Carl Youngstrom.
39:40And the tape recorder, sir?
39:42I didn't talk to you on tape. Carl did all the talking.
39:44It's what you didn't say, Mr. Flanagan.
39:47Do you make sense of this, Christie?
39:49Do you know what they're talking about?
39:50It took me a long time to put my finger on it,
39:52but when I did, it convinced me I was right about him.
39:54And now it convinces me that I'm right about you.
39:59I'm usually in bed at that time, but it was good I was awake, wasn't it, Major?
40:04Because I was working on a dollhouse for my granddaughter, Cynthia.
40:09I want to have it finished by June 3rd, because that's her sixth birthday.
40:20You see, Mr. Flanagan, let that go right by.
40:22He knew that Cynthia wasn't alive.
40:25He knew that Carl Youngstrom was living in a world of his own,
40:27but he didn't tell us because he was already planning somehow
40:30to use the story of a UFO landing here.
40:33And he needed to keep Carl Youngstrom
40:35and Carl's loyalty to the Flanagan family in his hip pocket.
40:41But I didn't point that out in my report, sir.
40:44Just as I didn't spell out everything I felt about Mr. Youngstrom's state of mind.
40:50Now, if there's nothing else, we have a plane to catch.
40:53Don't bother showing us to the door. I know my way out.
40:56Good day, Miss Shields.
40:57Goodbye, Major. Goodbye, Sergeant.
40:59Well?
41:00It's not exactly what I expected, but I've got to admit it was different.
41:16What the hell? It was a great opportunity.
41:18You're going to grab these chances in my business, right?
41:21Nobody in the whole wide world will know except those two,
41:24and they'll never open their yaps.
41:27Come on, honey.
41:29Let's have a drink of the gift.
41:32So I lost one.
41:37Wrong, Fred.
41:39You lost two.
41:49We'll be all right.
41:51A lot of time and money, and what have we got to show for it?
41:54Except one more file.
41:56One more file for that thin drawer labeled psychological fantasy.
42:00What's this?
42:19Pardon me, Major Gatlin. I have to talk to you away from the house.
42:23Sure, Anita. What?
42:25Carl's in trouble, isn't he?
42:27No, he's not in any trouble.
42:29Well, I have something to tell you.
42:31All right.
42:33I saw it, too.
42:37Why didn't you tell us before, ma'am?
42:39So many people doubted Carl, and I thought you didn't believe him either.
42:43But now I'm the only one he can count on to make people believe him.
42:47Carl never said that you two saw it together.
42:49I was downstairs in the kitchen having a glass of warm milk.
42:52I couldn't sleep, and I looked out, and I saw it land.
42:57And I saw Carl run out.
43:17Carl!
43:47Carl!
44:17Carl!
44:48We have come to learn more about you.
44:53Don't be afraid.
45:00We came here to know you better.
45:04We have good intentions.
45:08We come to know you better.
45:10We mean you no harm.
45:37Carl!
46:07Carl!
46:22Don't you believe me?
46:24I guess you meant well, Anita.
46:26But there is no need to try to help him.
46:28That's all I wanted to do, to try to help.
46:32That's the only reason I would not tell the truth.
46:35Please forgive me.
46:37It's all right, ma'am.
46:38Oh, before you leave...
46:48I did bake the bread.
47:05I did bake the bread.
