cost you, fifteen minutes with my interruption?

NNow, why don't you just get your girls

and your cameras and get back out there.

Can't. Why not?

They're trying to fix the camera,

but she's seen better days.

I knew you couldn't make it right.

An apology would have been nice.

Hey, wait. Le's start over.

Let me get you a drink.

No, thanks.

You making friends over there?

That's me. Mr. Popularity.

Hey. You okay?

NNever better. I trashed the ultralight.

What? How the hell did you do that?

Another blackout?

I was pushing it. We're running out of time.

They're definitely gonna pull the plug

on us now.

Count on it. Can't blame 'em.

We came up empty.

The way I see it, that's a good thing. Isn't it?

Unless they are out there

and we just didn't find them.

I need a beer. You want? Yeah.

Can I have two beers, please?

No beers.

And no exit.

Come on, guys. Too hot for this macho crap.

I am out of here.

Come on back. They'll be done in a second.

Get up. Grab him.

Heads!

Could have used a small one.

That was a small one.

Thanks for jumping in, pal.

Didn't know you needed help, Cap.

Thanks a lot, man. I had 'em already to party.

Back to work. Yes, sir.

This is one chewedup flight recorder.

Salvage all you can.

How the helI'd you do that?

I was a little too low.

I must have clipped a tree.

Why didn't you send up the drone?

I'll fix it. Get off my back.

This thing's trashed.

EchoTango One. Captain O'Bannon speaking.

It'll be a miracle to recover any data.

Then I want a miracle.

Yes, sir. Coming right up, sir.

Roger. Copy all. O'Bannon out.

So, what's up?

Gatecrash a nogo. Pulled the plug.

Where you goin? Get back to work.

Here's to Gatecrash. Gatecrash.

You never really thought we'd find anything,

did ya?

Why'd you sign on?

Wanted something different.

Boring's different.

And because you asked.

So, what are you gonna do now? Retire?

Yeah. Buy a farm. Grow grapes. Make wine.

Make babies.

Jill doesn't know about that last part yet.

What are you gonna do?

You know, once you're stateside,

maybe you should see someone.

Been seeing a shrink since I was ten years old.

You gotta do something, man.

Blacking out, flying into a tree.

NNot too healthy.

Yeah. If that's what happened.

What the hell is this?

Let me see.

Looks organic. Looks what?

I'm gonna run a scan on it.

Come on. We owe this guy.

You sure this is a good idea?

Steve. This was inside the data recorder.

A claw?

It's hot. Tau Seven.

Run it's DNA. Then recheck that hard drive,

swab it down, every square inch,

see if we can pick anything else up.

You got it.

You are out there.

I'm gonna put the fear of God
