Has Christmas music ever sounded more ominous?
In tiny Iglaak, Alaska, state trooper Yuka Mongoyak (Marika Sila) is caught between two worlds.
Jacks fine with it, provided he gets turkey and some pie at the station party.

Hes smiley and well dressed, assuming your aesthetic is dapper 1930s gangster.
Pendleton eats all of this up with a spoon.
What, little old him, famous?
I could see it, though, he tells Yuka.
Its transparent and impossibly thinRussian design with 8K video, Traveler explainsand clearly light-years ahead of todays technology.
Yuka suggests running a warrant search.
Pendleton gives her permission, but he also moves forward with the pardon.
Meanwhile, Yukas found no warrants, no suspicious reports, nothing to confirm her bad feelings.
Foiled, she heads to the buffet table to fix a plate for her brother.
Shes unimpressed, not being a believer in Christmas and all that.
She delivers the food to Jack and asks whathethinks she most wants.
Maybe to be one of them, he suggests.
She shoots back that she knows who she is and is proud of it.
When Yuka asks for permission to release her brother, Pendleton suggests that he perform a twofer.
Very jolly of you, she deadpans.
Yuka defends him, but Pendleton sends a trooper to check his car.
Pendelton kicks everybody out, andnowhes got questions about what Travelers doing in Iglaak.
Something that looks a lot like antennae.
(Jack describes the brief glimpse as snail-like, and hes not wrong.)
Travelers displeased by this rudeness in the face of his kindness and promises irreversible remorse.
He removes his hat to reveal a perfectly human head, then spills Pendletons big secret: treason.
And Pendleton sold it to the Russians.
Then he and Yuka look up to see an invasion of red-light spacecraft in the sky.
