"What?" "Grass?" "Apples?" "Mnemonic odors, the way our brain reads chemicals." "Phosphine gas, colorless, smells like garlic." "Or phosgene very toxic, smells like freshly cut grass." "I remember landing the plane and turning onto the taxiway." "And then..." "I don't remember anything else." "Eph, can I get you for a sec?" "Oh, thank God, you're here."

"Mr. Bolivar, what is the last thing you can remember before landing?" "I don't know, uh... flickering lights, maybe." "I blackout sometimes." "Those cuts on your arm?" "Oh, these?" "Yeah, I cut." "For the fans." "Tell me, these tattoos, occult, satanic things is this really part of your belief system?" "You're kidding, Doc?" "My father's a Baptist minister." "I'm in it for the pussy." "Eph." "There's something you have to see in the cargo area, right now." "Okay, let's go." "Who un-crated this thing?" "No one." "This was how it came out." "No straps, no containment wrap." "Well, what is it?" "What's inside of it?" "No one's opened it yet." "But, what does it say in the manifest?" "It's not on the manifest." "You got golf clubs, kayaks, machine parts 40 generators, 10.000 condoms" "10 plasma TVs, but no box." "Looks like a coffin, doesn't it?" "Coffin?" "It's nine feet tall." "It's old." "It's hand carved, it's not machined." "Hey, guys, over here." "Guys, look, we swabbed it, we ran the Geiger, we did samples of the air and everything is fine." "But the NTSB was crystal clear they didn't want us to touch anything." "Help me open it." "Okay." "Soil." "Why would someone ship a box of soil?" "What are the chances of someone loading this unchecked and unlisted?" "Something this size in a flight bound for the US?" "Impossible." "Not in today's world."
