Hard Time on Planet Earth - 1x01 - Stranger in a Strange Land- Followmy.tv

The alien, who takes on the earthly name Jesse (Martin Kove), arrives on Earth. He steals some clothes from an empty gas station and watches some television to learn about Earth's culture. The police notice him there and, confused by his actions, open fire on him. Jesse escapes by stealing a truck and driving away. But in the process he loses a crystal which grants him above-average powers. The police eventually corner him on the Vincent Thomas Bridge, so he jumps. In violation of his programming, Control rescues him. Later, in Los Angeles, Jesse witnesses the robbery of a jewelry store and intervenes. He has realized that the only way to leave Earth is to obey his charge: to help the people of this planet.
