4:05
free we're now walking towards where the
4:07
spacecraft first crashed the guys from
4:10
NASA showed up check on the spacecraft
4:14
check this out behind us here this f
4:16
look familiar to you any signs of life
4:19
not outside but we haven't been able to
4:21
determine what's inside well something
4:24
must have flown it the spaceship would
4:25
have wrecked right there the scene would
4:28
have started this way
4:30
you would have seen the NASA guys
4:31
walking towards where I'm standing right
4:33
now they would have looked up at the Big
4:35
Spaceship basically standing right where
4:37
I am now and you can tell that based on
4:40
the background right here this could be
4:42
our first Contact she's beautiful sir
4:46
this is the night watch men who found it
4:48
Ellis Brady says he hasn't told anyone
4:50
except the local authorities so what we
4:52
have here is the control situation watch
4:54
your step
5:00
Mr Lis Faraday now
5:00
this here is the exact area where David
5:02
was looking for his brother in the woods
5:05
all this looks very familiar they've
5:06
actually driven through here A bunch of
5:08
times gotten rid of a lot of the wood so
5:10
you can see some cars have driven
5:11
through here and the reason you know
5:13
this is the exact area where the Ravine
5:15
was is because this here is in the shot
5:18
in the movie check it out
5:49
get back Jack I've got a
5:49
gun get back Jack I got a gun
6:04
a gotcha
6:04
gotcha I'm going to kill you gotcha
6:08
got Dr farad think you should take a
6:12
look at this whatever happened to the
6:14
spaceships used in the filming where
6:16
there were two spaceships used in the
6:18
movie one of them is still on the back
6:20
lot at Hollywood Studios at MGM and the
6:24
other one is actually in Magic Kingdom
6:26
when I was there a few weeks ago they
6:28
converted it and it's now on top of a
6:30
beverage station believe it or not this
6:32
is actually one of the original ships
6:34
used fly the
6:36
Navigator see you later
6:39
alligator so this whole area here was
6:41
used in the movie it looks a lot
6:43
different than it did in the movie you
6:45
see in the background over here you see
6:46
what looks like a hospital and you see
6:48
that building back there with the glass
6:50
well the NASA guy would have been
6:52
standing up on something high like this
6:54
and you would have seen that in the
6:55
background truth about where David's
6:57
been for the last 8 years why I can't
7:00
remember what all this unusual brain
7:02
activity means also if you look over
7:05
here basically sitting right in this
7:07
area where I'm pointing is where the
7:09
family would have been sitting David
7:11
what do you think no way I'm not going
7:14
cuz you can see that bridge you can see
7:17
everything in there the doors are the
7:18
same the bridge is the same everything's
7:20
the same except for this right here
7:22
they've removed the benches they were
7:24
sitting on basically the family would
7:26
have been sitting right over here
7:28
basically where I'm sitting right right
7:29
here is where they would have been
7:31
excuse me I know that all sounds great
7:33
but the fact is that David has to go on
7:35
living and he can't do that in an
7:37
institution
7:39
David I can offer you the truth all I
7:42
need is 48 hours just 2 days then David
7:47
you can go home and put all this behind
7:51
you it's what you want isn't it
8:12
yes so directly that way the way we're
8:12
walking is the house from fly the
8:13
Navigator not the house of the beginning
8:15
and not the house at the end but the
8:17
house in the middle they lived in in
8:19
1986 right down this road close sign
8:23
right through there is where Max the
8:25
spaceship would have flown those Gates
8:26
would have been open to the drawbridge
8:29
he would have come right through there
8:30
planted himself right down there where
8:32
Ginder is pointing spaceship would have
8:34
come straight through
8:36
there would have dropped down and
8:38
planted right there would have sat right
8:39
there the
8:52
spaceship basically where gender
8:52
standing is where David would have
8:55
been he would have gone right back up
8:57
into the spaceship right there
9:00
with you
9:06
Max here comes the cop car Ginger is the
9:06
cop car taking David to meet his
9:18
parents the cop car would have parked
9:18
right there the 1986 Fort Lauderdale
9:22
Police you can see all this in the
9:24
background and of course they go up to
9:25
the front door
9:27
here why are we still St when David
9:30
jumps out of the cop car and runs up
9:32
there to the doorway where his dad and
9:34
mom meet him 8 years
9:36
older
9:38
creepy who lives here we're not sure
9:56
yet look I'm sorry to disturb you folks
9:56
but are you the same William Freeman who
9:57
reported missing a son
10:00
David Scott Freeman on July 4
10:03
1978 yes right behind me here there's
10:06
also a scene where the NASA gu pull up
10:07
in a White Band right underneath where
10:10
the draw bridge goes down the draw
10:11
bridge is closing the White Band is
10:13
right there Dr farad we've located the
10:16
mcadam's girl she's inside the boy's
10:18
house with his parents they're calling
10:21
the NASA cohorts to let him know what's
10:23
going on inside the Freeman's house
10:24
right over
10:43
phone Dad David's on the phone we have a
10:43
young kid who's a fight of the Navigator
10:44
fan looking for remnants of the
10:47
spaceship the spaceship doesn't exist
10:49
anymore it was 25 years ago he's going
10:51
to be disappointed he's going to be
10:54
sadly disappointed there is where the
10:56
brother would have walked up the stairs
10:58
the roof looks exactly the same in fact
11:01
there's even a chimney there that same
11:03
chimney is still there he would have
11:04
gone up there with his fireworks set all
11:07
