Unexpected Violence from Ordinary Individuals
Tom Beck You know what bothers me about these two guys DeVries and Miller?
Lloyd Gallagher Neither has a criminal record. They both lead normal lives until a few days ago, and now they're killing people.
Tom Beck Do you read minds or was that just a shot in the dark?
Lloyd Gallagher No, I read minds.
Tom Beck Oh yeah? What was I just thinking?
Lloyd Gallagher That I'm full of shit.
Tom Beck Impressive.
Lloyd Gallagher Not really. Quite simple to read.
Questioning the Bizarre Nature of Events
Tom Beck In the span of twelve hours, I've got five bodies—not counting Miller, who dies because he runs out of blood. A stripper screws some guy to death, steals his car and takes off. All of this in twelve hours. I wanna ask you: am I crazy, or does this seem just a little bit bizarre?
Lloyd Gallagher Yeah, it's a little bizarre.
Tom Beck I knew that. I just wanted to know if you knew that.
The Pursuit of an Alien Entity
Tom Beck Oh boy. We're talking spacemen here?
Lloyd Gallagher The way it works is... it finds a body, gets inside, uses it to move around, stays in that body until the body is so damaged it has to find another body. That's the only time I can kill it, when it's between bodies. I missed my chance when it came out of the stripper and found another body and changed before I got there.
Tom Beck So now we don't know who the spaceman is.
Lloyd Gallagher No, but I don't have to look for it anymore. It knows I'm here. It'll come after me. Beck, I need my weapon... that's the only thing that can kill it.
Tom Beck So the spaceman is the one who killed your wife. The one that you've been tracking for the past...
Lloyd Gallagher Nine years. Your time.
Tom Beck Our time.
Lloyd Gallagher I guess a career in the police didn't really prepare you for this, did it?
Tom Beck Yes, it did. We'll try again later.
[Dissolve to Gallagher, back behind bars.]
Motivation Behind Violent Crime
Tom Beck Hey! Why would he come in here and kill a guy for a lousy hundred bucks and a radio?
Lloyd Gallagher Cause he likes it. He sees something he wants, he steals it. If something gets in his way, he kills it. And right now, he's hiding out in your city.
Consequences of Deportation and Work Restrictions
Chairman Bergen We can clean this up, re-file, but even when we do, you’ll have to spend one year out of the country.
Margaret Well, that’s not ideal, I mean, I can work from Toronto, with video conferencing —
Chuck Margaret, you don’t understand. If you’re deported, you can’t work for an American company.
Desperation in a Life-or-Death Situation
Tom Beck She's bleeding to death, for Christ's sake! Why doesn't she go down?
Lloyd Gallagher We've got to get to her before she dies.
Tom Beck Why don't we wait until after she's dead?
