Yup, I think that's right. These other slaves show up (not exactly clear how they knew to go there), bad guys see that they're outnumbered and suicide, the brother points up, questioning "Are you from up there?", other guy shakes head, points down indicating "No, we're Earth people, now." Does anyone have a different interpretation? Scott McEwan {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!mcewan "What? That? It was just a filthy demon! It wasn't even from this dimension!"

These other slaves show up (not exactly clear >how they knew to go there), bad guys see that they're outnumbered and >suicide, the brother points up, questioning "Are you from up there?", >other guy shakes head, points down indicating "No, we're Earth people, >now." Does anyone have a different interpretation? Apparently the other escapees had their eyes on the brother (not literally) for a while. In an earlier scene where the guy with the beard and hat watches him walking down the street, and it seems to me that the fellow in the blue coveralls might have been the one running the floor polisher in the office building where the brother confronted the dope-dealing businessman. They knew the "bloodhounds" were after him all along. As for the meaning of the thumbs up / thumbs down gestures, I interpreted it as "Can we go home now?" / "No, we have to stay here", although I think someone on the net a while back thought the brother was asking if the bounty hunters had gone to heaven.

Notice he put these marks after having interpreted/read a 'message' on the same wall -- at least that is how I figured it. --Roy St.Laurent {...ihnp4!umn-cs!umnstat!roy}
