Grandpa Max, Colonel Rozum and others in “Prisoner #775 Is Missing”

Perhaps you could enlighten us, Colonel.

Sorry, Max. It's above your paygrade.

Then my grandfather gets a raise right now or we walk!

You're gonna let him talk to me like that, Max?

I'll let him know when he says something I disagree with... Okay, then.

It's a holding facility.

What's it holding?

Alien combatants who landed on earth over the years.

How many years?

Four, maybe five... Decades.

You've had people in there for 50 years?!

Not people -- Aliens, held on suspicion of being a threat to planetary security.

I'm gonna see what's down there.

It's impossible. No one can get in or out.

We'll see.

Big Chill! (he passes through the floor)

(to Cooper) When he shouted his name just then, did it strike fear into you?

Not now, Kevin.

You haven't said much.

I'm trying not to throttle you. This "holding facility" of yours is nothing but a prison. Earth is a level 2 world. And a provisonary signatory of the Kelly-Casey Accords. You have no rights --

Rights? You want to talk to me about rights with all the alien terrorists you've fought? You know the dangers they present. You should be thanking me.

The aliens we fight get turned over to the proper authorities. Being stuck in a hole forever with no due process --

We do what needs to be done, and I sleep better at night knowing my family is safe.

Grandpa Max...

You won't believe it. There's hundreds of aliens down there, crammed into cells.

The security system was down, but I rebooted it.

Grandpa, the conditions down there -- It's inhuman.

That's because they're not human. We're not running a hotel.

You're not running a prison, either -- Not anymore. You're going to release them to the Plumbers, colonel, for proper processing. They'll be freed when warranted or else made to stand trial.

All 774 of them.

That's not right.

It's not only right, it's justice -- Long delayed, but still --

No. I mean your count isn't right. There's 775.

That's not what your electronic tote board said. Then there's one missing.
