Former MIB chief ALPHA was in charge of the investigation, but encrypted the data files. At JAY's suggestion the MIBs visit Alpha in the maximum security detention block, where he's in a pod, being kept alive by machinery. Jay sneaks back into the secured area to see Alpha again. As Alpha challenges Jay to a chess game, Jay coaxes out info, but who's finessing whom in this highly charged cat and mouse game? Jay smugly passes off Alpha's info as his own research, based on his keen "instincts" informing the MiBs that Vengiss is a scout for the Ixion Federation, who plan on invading Earth. As the MIBs race off to intercept Vengiss, they learn that Alpha has escaped, with the aid of a toy-like electronic chess game that Jay had given him. The MIBs get the drop on Alpha and Vengiss in Alaska, where the two villains are making good on a deal forged 30 years ago. Vengiss is captured in the ensuing battle, but Alpha manages to escape, and contacts Jay, congratulating Jay on foiling his scheme but implies that the game has only just begun. See less
