The Watchers: Revelation

1

Thank you for coming.

I trust all is well?

Good. And how is your game?

What is it called again?

Golf.

Golf. Fascinating. We have nothing

quite like it. Our games are more . . . colorful.

I would be delighted to teach it to

you sometime, Mr. Ambassador.

lt would be the least I could do

for what you've done for our people.

Thank you. But unfortunately, I do not

believe time will permit me that opportunity.

[Tingle]

Your people have

entered a nuclear age.

lt was not enough that you

have ended your world war with it.

You, and your counterparts continue

your tests, endangering all of humanity.

Soon, you will be

entering into our realm.

Your search for better, faster

ways to annihilate one another

will ultimately lead you

into space exploration.

Mr. Ambassador, I can assure

you we have no intention - - -

Of course not.

Your intentions were to preserve your people,

better humanity, provide for national security.

And in the process destroy your

enemy and possibly your world as well.

Your people have

become too dangerous.

Therefore, I must inform you that we are

discontinuing our direct involvement with you . . .

. . . For now.

The knowledge and technology that we have provided

you should sustain you for a number of years to come.

And hopefully,

keep you safe.

Do not stray

from the schedule.

As that would be most

inconvenient . . . for you.

I understand.

But with the Soviet threat our

people are still in need of protec . . .

[Addon interrupts ] -

Your people will survive.

That is all that they need.

[Eisenhower sighs]

Diplomatically we

are leaving for now.

We will return at a

time of our choosing.

Until then the knowledge of our

existence should not be disclosed.

We will make ourselves known

when we think the time is right.

ln the interim know that

we will be watching.

Ambassador Addon,

the free people of the

United States thank you

and bid you Godspeed.

You are most welcome . . .

Mr. President.

[Beaming sound. Music begins.]

Thunder sound

Shovel hitting dirt.

Hey Robert, come

look at this!

What is it?

What do you make of this?

- Wow.

Maybe you should get Dr. Jamison.

[Softly] Hurry.

Dr. Jamison!

Dr. Jamison!

Yes, Robert?

We found something.

Well, I would hate to think

we'd come on the expedition,

at the university's expense,

spend all this time digging,

and not find something.

Dr., I think you need to

see this for yourself.

Robert, what is it?

We found a tablet;

it has some writing on it.

Writing?

Robert, the Ancient Mississippian culture of

Native Americans didn't have a written language.

I don't think this

is Native American.

So, where have

you been off to?

Shaving.

Why do you always respond to

a where question with a what answer?

Why do you always ask where

when you really mean what?

Next time you need to

concentrate on how.

Hand me your handkerchief.

Stick out your tongue.

Cut myself?

Yep.

Well, you try shaving in a creek while

fighting off ferocious animals.

You saw a bear?

Worse.

A squirrel.

A squirrel?

Yes, but he

looked mean.

Maybe he was just gathering nuts and

thought you would make a good lunch.

Speaking of rabid animals, did you

call your folds to check on Kara?

No, I didn't. It's Sunday morning,

they're in church by now.

Ah, you forgot about

the time change.

They're on central time.

They won't be dragging poor

Kara off to church for another hour.

I did forget.

Besides, Kara actually

likes going with them.

lt wasn't until I was a teenager

that I stopped liking church.

At Kara's age Sunday School

involves cutting things out,

coloring them and pasting

them back together.

If Kara had her way she

would be teaching the class.

She's a smart kid.

She's smarter then

I was when I was six.

I can't get anything out here.

Must be the mountains.

There was a clearing back near the

creek. Im going to try from there.

Okay, Ill start gather our things,

unless you need me to with you.

I mean, that squirrel might have friends.

I think I can handle it.

Ill be back in a few.

Uh, be sure to tell them we'll

be there by five to pick up Kara.

Jim?

[Dog barks]

Jim?

Where is he?

Oh no!

[Shouting]

Jim!

[Jim groaning]

Sweetie, are you alright?

What happened?

This is impossible.

I don't understand, your beard.

They were watching.

All those days, watching.

What are you talking about?

You've only been gone an hour.

[Knocking]

[Door opens]

Ted!

Hey Peter.

What a nice surprise. I thought

you were still on a dig.

I was. I just got in

a few hours ago.

Well, come on in.

Have a seat Ted. Can I get

you something to drink?

Uh, yes, thank you.

The usual?

That would be great.

I hope all went well. Did

you find anything interesting?

Uh, yes. We had

a remarkable time.

ln fact, that's why Im here.

I need your help with

something Peter.

It's not like you Ted,

to ask for my help.

You're the real expert on

Native American culture.

Maybe I should have asked

for something stronger.

Why? What happened?

I had an experience, Peter,

and Im not really sure

what to make of it.

It's something more in

your realm of expertise.

What do you know about

the Cahokia Indians?

The Cahokia?

Roving Native Americans, part

of the confederate Illinois tribes.

What else?

The Cahokia mounds.

Instead of just burying their

dead, they buried their cities.

What if, instead of burying their
