there, too?

Yes.

That's impossible.

You're not from here.

No.

This is insane.

And, uh, and somewhere up

there, is an invisible

spaceship.

Three.

Three!

Three invisible

spaceships!

So wait, I'm the first

human to know that aliens

exist?

Welcome to Earth, dude.

Thanks.

So...

You've never

ridden a bicycle?

No, never.

[David laughs]

This is freakin' awesome.

[music swells]

Is there any reason why

you guys live so far from

the ship?

We stayed for about two

years, but we were stuck

in the middle of nowhere.

Ellen wanted me to see

your world, so year three,

we moved to the city

and started traveling.

And then they arrived?

That must have been

insane for you guys.

Yeah, we didn't know what

to do, and Ellen wouldn't

let me surrender.

Surrender?

Why the hell would

you surrender?

Well...

look what happened to your

planet. It's all because

of me.

If I surrender,

then maybe...

Sure but, you didn't

invade us, Cameron.

You didn't do this.

They did.

I know.

But it's still happening

because of me.

This is screwed up.

Listen, I've got to talk

to you about that whole

'surrender' thing.

It doesn't have

to come to that.

The thing is, if things

get critical here, even

Ellen says I have no

choice but to surrender.

We'll just hide you until

they give up and leave.

No David, they

won't just leave.

They'll take me as their

prisoner, or they'll kill

me.

But how are they

gonna kill you?

It's a big place, like

finding a needle in a

haystack.

What are they gonna do?

They'll burn the haystack.

What do you mean?

If they can't find me,

Devanera will destroy the

whole planet.

This is the most stressful

conversation I've ever had.

And I've dated

a lot of women.

We need to cover

more ground faster.

We can actually make up

a lot of

time if we cut across that

mountain.

It'll be harder, you okay?

I will be.

Okay.

Don't worry.

We'll sort this out.

[music swells]

[engines revving]

Check his blood.

Of course, pretty sure I

saw a lion, two elephants,

and a tiger walk through

the camp last night.

Which basically means I

must have

slept through my watch.

We've got to keep

our eyes open.

Ah, Des, Human bet me one

billion dollars I could

not pilot this vessel.

Human?

Yes. I named him.

This beast reminds

me of Pegaus.

It does not fly.

You will not

understand this, Des.

You are a machine.

Devanera's

requesting an update.

What should I tell him?

Tell him I'm shopping.

Devanera, you summoned me.

I'm fairly certain I was

clear in my instructions,

Garabon.

Why are you on the planet?

I'm exploring

other worlds.

Besides, I made a

glorious discovery.

Something the humans call
