As he walks away, three policemen intercept him and arrest him. He fights and tries to escape, but is overwhelmed.

By 5:30 a.m., Cade is sitting in an interrogation room. The county sheriffs have been called and will pick him up in about 45 minutes, but Detective Mike Olanski wants to question Cade first -- he's got five open strangling cases just like Hannah Foster's, and he'd love to close them with a confession from Cade.

When Cade asks for a phone call, Fred gets Mike to agree on the condition that Cade will answer their questions afterwards.

As they give Cade the phone and go to the observation room, Fred asks Mike why he's being so unusually aggressive on this case. Mike tells him there's nothing wrong, and he's just following normal procedure.

Now that he's sure he's been caught by real cops and not aliens, Cade decides he'll tell them everything.

Mike and Fred return to the interrogation room. Mike wants to know Cade's whereabouts after he escaped the asylum in Chicago, and is not pleased when Cade insists he left town.

Mike's rage is interrupted by the delivery of the sandwiches, but he soon returns to the attack. He goes berserk when Cade ask, "Why are you trying to railroad me, you son of a bitch?"

Fred hauls Mike out of the room and demands to know what's going on. Mike explains that his mother was strangled by his alcoholic father.

They go back in. Mike tells Cade to drop the talk about aliens, disconnects the camera recording the interrogation, and gets ready to deliver an old-fashioned beating to Cade.

Then Fred steps up behind Mike and snaps his neck.

"Time for the real interrogation," the Gua agent tells Cade.

As he puts Mike's body in the closet, "Fred" tells Cade, "I've waited months for this." The Gua team he's called in will arrive in thirty minutes, but Fred would like to get some information of his own.

If Cade tells him what he wants to know, Fred says, he'll tell Cade what happened to Hannah.

Fred mostly wants to know what happened to the book of Nostradamus. Cade denies knowing anything about it, but Fred's got an advanced polygraph that tells him Cade's lying.

Cade spots some salt -- which he's learned is a powerful drug to the Gua -- among the sandwiches on the table. When Fred turns away for a moment to make a phone call, he grabs some and slips it into Fred's coffee.

Fred puts Cade on the phone to Cade's Uncle Harry, who lives in Chicago. The Gua have grabbed Harry and tortured him -- he's a broken man, and tells Cade to "do what they say."

"He've very close to death," Fred notes. Cade is enraged, but his threats against Fred get him nowhere.

Cade demands to speak to Harry again, telling him to call "the emergency number." Then he agrees to talk if the Gua will let Harry go.

Fred accepts this deal, and drinks some salt-spiked coffee.

The interrogation continues with more questions about the book. Cade stalls, and begins surrepititiously unlocking his restraints.

When Fred's speech begins to slur, Cade breaks loose, knocks his captor down and takes his gun.

Cade plugs the VCR back in and calls Eddie. After checking to make sure Harry is free, he asks Eddie to contact a local friend and have him pick him up behind the police station.

It'll take 20 minutes for the friend to arrive, which leaves Cade time to get some answers of his own. After forcing Fred to snort some more salt, Cade starts asking questions.

He learns that the Gua are run by an "Assembly," and that the experiment that ruined his life -- Experiment AHX2323 -- was a gigantic operation. Cade's case alone required years of preparation.

Fred says he doesn't know who killed Hannah, but the polygraph shows he's lying. Cade pushes harder, and gets him to admit that Joshua was present at Hannah's death.

They're briefly interrupted by an eager young cop who wants to see the interrogation. Cade makes Fred tell him to stay away.

As Cade puts the phone away, Fred tries to break free. Cade clubs him with the pistol, and the bruise heals almost instantly, which Cade points out to the camera as "Exhibit A" proving Fred's an alien.

Fred still won't talk about Joshua and Hannah's death. Cade threatens him with more salt, and he reveals more about the Gua's plans for Earth.

He also calls Cade a "statistical freak," one of a tiny number of humans with enough warrior spirit to oppose the Gua invasion. He also admits that the Gua worry that Cade really is Nostradamus' "twice-blessed man," the savior of the human race.

Fred still wants to know why Cade came back to visit Hannah's grave. Cade tells him, "You wouldn't understand."

"Of course," Fred says. "How could I understand the twice-blessed man?"

A young cop named Gavin walks by the observation room and sees Cade interrogating Fred. He immediately bursts into the interrogation room, gun drawn.

Fred accuses Cade of killing Mike, and Gavin sidles over to the closet to find Mike's body. Cade insists he's innocent, but agrees to give himself up if the cops will just watch the tape of the interrogation.

Fred breaks loose from his restraints and subdues Cade. He tells Gavin to go get the lieutenant.

Fred then reveals to Cade that he killed Hannah. Cade throws a last packet of salt in his eyes, then knocks him down and gets his gun again.

"This is for Hannah," he says. He shoots Fred, and the Gua dissolves.

Gavin, the lieutenant, and a handful of other cops burst in, weapons drawn. After seeing Mike's body, they take revenge of Cade by beating him senseless.

As Cade sits strapped into the chair in the interrogation room, Gavin and the lieutenant watch the tape. They see but can't quite believe Detective's Ludlow's dissolution.

"Trick photography, maybe," the lieutenant mutters. He tells Gavin to pretend the tape never existed -- he doesn't want the scandal of two dead detectives and an alien invasion to ruin his chance at a pension.

Destroying the tape, he tells Gavin to put Cade in a holding cell, and leaves.

It is 6:10. Gavin brings a groggy Cade down the hall. He thinks hard, and then releases Cade.

"Hit me," Gavin says.

It takes a moment for it to sink it, but Cade nods and knocks him out. Then he flees out the back into his friend's waiting taxi.
