"Previously on Taken..." "My daughter's in that farmhouse." "How do I get down there?" "Our daughter was conceived on board an alien craft." "She is of incredible importance to them." "Pull back!" "Pull back!" "They made this girl, Allie, because they weren't complete without us." "That was my grandfather's legacy... craft, bodies..." "WOMAN:" "What was he like, your grandfather?" "You want to know what scared me so badly?" "Yes, damn it, I want to know what you saw!" "Then look at me, Mary." "Look at me!" "( Screams )" "OWEN:" "Their power is what compels you." "I know the feeling." "You want to be a part of that power at all costs." "What's the meaning of this?" "Do you see it?" "There was nothing." "Everything we saw, went through, it all came out of our heads." "This little girl can manifest a thought." "MARY:" "When Allie did what she did, when she manifested the ship, she demonstrated a power far beyond anything the aliens themselves are capable of." "I thought if I could make them think that I'd gone, that I'd been taken, they would stop looking for me." "This girl is the product of three generations of selective breeding, of a genetic experiment on an unparalleled scale." "MAN:" "You want to tell me what this is?" "It gathers information, it responds to stimuli..." " She asked me to read it to her." " Could you?" "They made me feel like I was with all of them." "LISA:" "My uncle and I have a plan." "I put an ad in the personals of the New Yok Times." "Then Tom gets a message to me about where to meet him." "Remember I said we didn't have a signal on Allie, that we didn't know where she was?" " I lied." " I love you." "Hello, Allie." "Get away from my daughter!" "Right now!" "Please, don't be frightened." "Lisa, I'm your grandfather." "Your grandmother gave this to me a long time ago." "Make him stop!" "Shoot him!" "Somebody shoot him!" "Shoot him!" "Go away now!" "Allie, what are you doing?" "Stop it, please!" "Stop it!" " MAN:" "Doctor!" " Please." "We've got to get away from all these people." " They're with somebody." " With somebody?" "Another man." "According to these gentlemen, a man stepped forward." "A guy in his 30s." "His eyes turned black, and they shot him." "They were waiting for her to demonstrate." "They see she's got the power, and bam!" "They're here." "You're saying the one who did all this was an alien?" "You are paying attention." "She didn't leave in a spaceship." "She left in a Dodge Durango." "Still doesn't make you look very good, does it?" "You take a nine-year-old girl and a special ops unit into the American heartland, you lose the girl, you come up with nothing." " You're in the deep end." " You're right in there with me." "I have to go back to Washington and explain what happened here." "Find me the girl and whoever she's with." " How'd you like us to do that?" " The little girl's weak." "This being who came to help her has been shot." "You'll have a definite advantage." " Smooth sailing, I'd say." " Just do it." "And when we find her?" "Then find me." "I'll take it from there." "WAKEMAN:" "That's worked so well up till now." "I'm not goin' down alone on this one." "Try not to screw things up." "They're about ten hours ahead of us in Montana."

"And then what?" "They come for her again or she does something again." "You've gotta do something to change all this." "I just want my little girl back." "You started all this, and you don't have any more of an idea where it's gonna end than any of us do." "Charlie?" "What's going on?" "Get out." "Get out!" "LiSA:" "What are you doing?" "Just give me a minute." "I want to talk to you." "LISA:" "We need his help." "Allie does." "His help?" "He's the one responsible!" "I want to know what the hell this is all about." "Charlie, you're hurting him." "Stop it." "He's already weak." "Sweetheart, it's gonna be all right." "Give me a minute." "Why are you here?" "Why have you been doing this?" "What the hell do you want?" " We're just trying to understand." " Understand what?" "Everything." "JOHN:" "I'll try to put this in terms that you commonly use." "I'm... a scientist." "We were all scientists." "We came here to learn about your world." "Our idea was to find out everything..." "Your history, your biology... everything." "We came here to learn." "We're not that different from you genetically, biologically, but what you call evolution has changed us." "We see things in you that..." "we no longer recognize in ourselves." "WAKEMAN:" "What do we know?" "They're this energy that can manifest itself in different ways..." "As the beings we've seen, as their crafts, as our thoughts." "There's no right or wrong about them." "JOHN:" "The whole concept of right and wrong was... alien to us." "The idea that the things we were doing were cruel..." "WAKEMAN:" "They have no concept of kindness or cruelty, no way of seeing beyond the oneness of all that energy..." "JOHN: to the separateness, the uniqueness, your ability to hate, to love, to feel." "You have compassion as well as cruelty." "We lack both." "Or that is, the traits lie dormant..." "WAKEMAN: in their brains, like the animal that lives far back inside all of us." "But an experience of something basic can awaken that primitive thing." "JOHN:" "And that's what happened." "Your grandmother Sally, she took me in and showed me a great kindness." "MARY:" "Something could have touched one of them, something simple, awakened the sense of what was missing, something gone and half-remembered." "And so our greatest experiment began." "Could they put it back, this thing that had been bred out of them for eons and eons?" "JOHN:" "Your emotional core..." "Your strength, your feeling..." "And our more-evolved consciousness... could we bring these two together?" "If we could could do this, we would have the next..." "MARY: step in the evolution of life." "The experiment was an unqualified success." "What do you think is gonna happen next?" "Allie goes with us." "We work with her." "We help her to understand our part of the equation." "That's never gonna happen." "You still don't get it." "This... thing you saw in my grandmother, this compassion, our humanity..." "You still don't have a clue what that means." "Allie is my daughter." "She is nine years old." "I love her with all my heart and soul." "You will never take her away from me." "She can't stay here, Lisa." "She did too much." "If she uses her power again, that part of her that's us, it will kill her." "You were right." "Those people will keep coming after her, and she will do something to keep you or Charlie safe." "It's the only place for her." "That is what's next." "No, it isn't." "You've inflicted enough pain on this planet." "It's over." "Let it go." "Go away." "Montana." "Looks like they've stopped." "We should be able to catch up with them tonight." "Tomorrow morning at the latest." "We've taken it all the way together, haven't we?" "I don't know what you mean." "We're gonna be there when it comes together." "We're gonna know we did our part." "Our part?" "Keep Allie safe, so they can finish their work." "You're fine with that, aren't you?" "Them finishing their work." "I can't wait." "That's all you want, right?" "Front seat at the show?" "They're more highly evolved than we are." "She's more highly evolved than they are."

"We're gonna be all right." "Tom's got it all set up for us." "His friend brings out the papers, and we disappear into the sunset." "I spent my childhood disappearing." "I'm pretty good at it." "( Knocking )" " Nina." " Hi." "Oh, my God!" "I can't believe you're really here." "Denny heard about it on the radio." "God, is she all right?" "No, she's not all right at all, Nina." "It was a series of miracles, that's what it was." "The things that happened, what they did to us, it was just a series of miracles, and the things that she can do..." "There's a kindness to her power, an intention to do good." "I was really angry." "I still am, I guess." "But what we saw, and what she did..." "I'm with these people." "After what I did to them, I'm here with them." "They were able to forgive me." "That's because of her." "This is as close as we can get without getting the attention of the crowd." "We'll treat this like a riot situation, have the guards go in first, get the crowd out of there." "Still, you gotta admire the move." "We're tryin' to fly under the radar, and they put up a wall of people between us and the little girl." "She must really mean a lot to those folks." "Goin' through these lengths." "We'll move in tonight." "COMPUTER:" "Video message waiting..." "Hey." "There." "Toots." "I programmed this file to send if I didn't delete it in 24 hours." "I guess I didn't delete it." "Which I guess means... you deleted me." "I kinda saw that one comin'." "You must be leaded in fo the final wing ding about now." "God." "I wish I could be there." "There's something I wanted to share with you." "We're all so desperate for meaning." "Aren't we?" "All of us." "You." "Too." "Mary..." "even if you think you're not." "You want answers." "And in that way." "I think the aliens are gonna disappoint you." "Here's the stone truth of it." "They're still asking the same questions we are." "No one is God here." "We're all in the same boat." "That was our life together." "Wasn't it?" "We asked questions." "I used to love the way you..." "I used to love the way you'd get that faraway look in you eye whenever you were workin' sometling out." "We could have been happy." "Mary." "I really believe that..." "If only you'd just let it go." "That's another question for them." "Isn't it?" "What is it that makes us so screwed up?" "Why do we do the things we do?" "Well." "Maybe... they can create something better than the sum of its parts." "Allie belongs with them." "We're not ready for the knowledge they have." "It would destroy us." "Look at me." "Guess in the end." "I turned out to be something of a humanist." "You're shakin' your head. right?" "See?" "You do love me." "What brought you here?" "As soon as I heard what was happening with the little girl," "I..." "I knew I had to be here." " How long do you think you'll stay?" " As long as it takes." " And you?" " We all feel it." "I don't know if any of us could tell you exactly why, but we all knew we had to be here." "It's kind of hard to explain if you haven't been taken, but... we all knew we had to be here." "The girl, Allie, is inside this house." "Some say she's resting, others say she's dying." "The question we haven't been able to answer yet is what does she mean to this group of abductees, people who believe they've been taken?" "TOM:" "I really appreciate you doing this for me." "No problem." "Good luck, Tom." "This is all of it..." "Passports, visas." "We have a car waiting for you in the woods." "An old back road leads all the way to Highway 177." "Dale and I took it this morning." "It leads all the way past the army." "We came out on the other side." "They weren't any the wiser." "You ready?" "( Horn honking )" "We went to the sporting goods store and cleared out the hunting section." "If anyone tries to hurt our little girl, they're gonna have to come through us first." "I don't want you to do that." "Allie?" "MAN:" "Tom, could I talk to her?" "Just for a moment." "No." "Please go back to your cars!" "Bill, please help me get these people..." "Folks, please..." "Uh... uh... she's not ready to talk to us yet." "She's just not ready." " You all right?" " I'm fine." "Listen, we're gonna get out of here." "We're going someplace where none of this matters, okay?" "Everything's ready." "We gotta go." "No, not now." "I want to talk to them." "Hi." "I know you're all scared, and you don't have to be scared anymore." "Honey... honey... you don't have to do this." "All you have to be is my little girl." "The rest of it, it doesn't have to happen." "You don't have to do anything." "They're scared." "They need something." "You don't have to be the one to give it to them." "I think maybe I do." "You have something in your heads." "It lets them know where you are." "I can shut them off." "When they shut off, they'll fall out." "Don't be scared." "ALLIE:" "They won't come for you anymore." "They won't be able to find you." "No one's going to take you." "It doesn't seem right to, uh, interfere with us the way they did." "Maybe not to us, but if we saw this from someplace else, it was just time for this to happen." "WOMAN:" "For what to happen?" "Me." "Listen to me!" "All of you!" "All of you, listen to me!" "They're not gonna do anything!" "There's too many of us here!" "Do you want to help?" "Stay in front of the porch!" "Go to the mayor now." "Get me the wireless unit." "MAN:" "Attention!" "This area is under federal control!" "Please make yourselves available for immediate relocation to a debriefing area." "You vehicles and personal belongings..." "You don't listen to that!" "It's a lie!" "You stay right here!" "Stay right in front of the porch!" "Right here!" "Stay in front of Allie." "Stay right here." "Stay in front of Allie." "We're stronger together!" "Stay in front of the porch." "Just so you know, a lot of us are armed and willing to give our lives to protect Allie or take some if we have to." "Get out of here now." "Put your plan into action." "We'll do what has to be done." "CHARLIE:" "Thanks." "They're here in force, come out of the night to put the monster back in the box." "We better get back inside." "No..." "Allie..." "Are they gonna come for you now?" "John left that up to me." "Do you think if we'd been regular people," "Charlie would have lived with us, and we could have been a family?" "I know that would have happened." "I don't want to go." "I want to stay here with you." "Then stay!" "We've got a plan." "We can get out of here right now!" "It'll be okay." "Give the command." "Troops... advance!" "WOMAN:" "Here they come." "After a little girl, ladies and gentlemen!" "MAN:" "Please disperse immediately!" "If you do not disperse." "You will be in violation of Federal Ordinance 860... endangering of public welfare..." "( gasps )" "Oh, Allie." "Allie, please, please don't." "Please." "You heard Dale." "If I stay here, people will kill each other." "I don't want that to happen because of me." "Then we'll go away." "We have a plan." "Where could we go?" "This would all just happen again." "Allie, Allie, listen to me." "I am not gonna let that happen." "We're gonna get Charlie, and we're gonna get out of here." "We'll figure out a way." "There's nothing we can do." "We're a family now." "We can try." "We were always a family." "( Yelling and screaming )" "General." "I didn't ask for this!" "I want to be a little girl!" "I just want to be a little girl!" "( Gasps )" "They're really coming this time... aren't they?" "Charlie..." "I'm glad you turned out to be my dad." "I love you." "I love you, too, Daddy." "I have to go." "No." "No, I can't." "I can't, I can't." "I won't let you." "I won't let you go." "You... you said this was all meant to be." "And I meant all of it." " This part, too." " I can't stand this." "I have to go." "And I said I wouldn't ever let you go." "I love you, honey... every day and twice on Sundays." "I love you, too, Mama." "Is she makin' this all up?" "Is this just another screen?" "This is no screen, General." "This is real." "Can you stop them?" "Can you stop them?" "!" "Please!" "You gotta do something." "This is my family." "That's my daughter!" "We can't." "Allie belongs with them... her and the knowledge of how they did all this." "I'm sorry." " That, too." " No." "This is a record of everything." "Even if we lose the little girl, at least we'll still have this." "Sooner or later, we'll know what they know." "Exactly." "You're the one who was gonna see this through to the end." "I did." "Sir!" "Let her see the rest of this." "She deserves that much." "ALLIE:" "I don't know what will happen next." "I don't know what I'm going to be." "What I'm going to learn." "But what I do know is this..." "Life." "All life." "Is about asking questions." "Not about knowing answers." "It is wanting to see what's over the next hill that keeps us all going." "We have to keep asking questions." "Wanting to understand." "Even when we know we'll never find the answers." "We have to keep on asking the questions." "Excuse me." "Did you know the little girl or her family personally?" "No, I didn't." "I just came to see what the deal was." "Sir, shall we pick up the mother and father?" "The mother and father?" "You're talkin' about the little girl's parents?" "Yes, sir, her parents." "They must have slipped away in all the excitement." "I don't see them anywhere." "Neither do I, sir." "Shall I tell the JTF guys to head back to Fort Bliss?" "I don't see why not, Captain." "There's nothin' for us here." "Thought you might want this." "She did all right, Lis." "She took the other one with her." "She took the other star." "She's gonna be back, Charlie." "She really is." "She's gonna be back." "ALLIE:" "My mother always talked to me a lot about the sky." "She liked to watch the clouds in the day and the stars at night." "Especially the stars." "We would play a game sometimes." "A game called "What's beyond the sky?"" "We would imagine darkness or a blinding light or sometling else that we didn't know how to name." "But." "Of course." "That was just a game." "There's nothing beyond the sky." "The sky just is." "And it goes on and on." "And we play all of our games beneath it." "Just before it gets dark" "When the light still hangs in the sky" "The day's not quite come" "All its promises still in your own eyes" "Between the time your mother calls" "And the time you put the ball away" "There's a lifetime to be lived" "And a world where every dream is here to stay" "Just before the night comes" "And you run back to the safety of your world" "Just before it gets dark" "You can believe in every story ever told" "In those last precious moments" "There's a beauty no one wants to give away" "Well, nothin' lasts forever" "But those moments keep forever far away" "Just before it gets dark" "Before you grow old" "Before you're too old to pretend" "Just before it gets dark" "And you know your dreams will not come back again" "Hold on" "Hold on tight" "And I promise you, baby" "It'll all be all right" "I promise you, baby" "It'll all be all right" "Subtitle by Hervieu/Hovilmist"
