So every morning, I
find Shelley right here.

As you can see, we
have the spot marked.

That's because she's
always in the same spot,

never different.

She's always looking at the sky.

I have no idea what
she could be looking at.

Wake up, sweetie.

Hey, wake up.

Good morning, honey.

How many bites?

A few.

I'll probably try
that new spray later,

maybe put up the zapper.

- Thanks.
- There you go.

All right.

So, sweetie, how long would
you say this has been going on?

Two and a half
years, two months,

three weeks, and one day.

And before that,
did you ever have

problems
sleepwalking as a child,

or sleeping, for that matter?

No, never.

And what about in
the family, Mom, Dad,

aunts, uncles, any of them
have any problems sleeping?

Not that I can remember.

What about the first
time it happened?

You recall anything weird
or out of the ordinary?

Not really.

It was just after you
got out the hospital,

maybe a week or so.

I do remember the first
time I woke up outside.

That was scary.

It's not something
that you just forget.

Make sure you take
care of the backyard.

We are in the first
days of summer,

and an elderly man
is the latest victim

from complications due
to the Livingstone virus,

or LV, as commonly called,

making him the 26th
reported case in the state.

Despite its uptick in cases,
authorities have maintained

that contacting the
disease is very rare,

and developing encephalitis
from the virus, even rarer.

Most who contract
the disease present

only mild to no symptoms at all.

Still, caution is
advised, as it is unclear

why some individuals develop

fatal complications
from the virus.

What the hell you doing?

Hopefully preventing mosquitoes.

Hope you kept your receipt.

Got good reviews online, so.

I'm telling you,
pissing in the grass

would do just the same.

You don't wanna
get bit, you stay inside

and you keep it cold.

Going to the bank in the am.

Be around eight to get the rent.

I'll have it.

That's good.

Why your wife out here
so early in the morning?

Exercise, I guess.

Standing still is exercising?

Past few days, I reckon,
standing right about there,

looking kinda odd,
until you come fetch her

with that odd-looking
camera of yours.

Look, she sleepwalks.

They ain't got no
medicine for that?

We just don't understand
why she's doing-

- Contagious?
- No, God, no.

It's just-

- One of those head things.

I got you.

Do me a favor, you
keep that over here,

'cause I ain't got
no problem keeping

this place empty, got me?

Yeah, I got you.

That's good.

Be here in the am.

I don't think this needs
to be in the video.

It feels private.

I want it in there.

Hey, babe, why
don't you let me do it?

I got it.

There's just this little
voice inside my head

keeps telling me that this
is just a waste of money.

But we gotta keep trying, right?

No one said that making
a baby would be easy.

So I have cameras
all over the house.

Different points of views,

for both inside and out.

So hopefully I
won't miss anything,

which means you guys watching
won't miss anything, either.

Our hope is that
somebody out there

will see these videos,
and maybe reach out to us.

I mean, we can't be the
only ones going through this.

So, if you're out there,
please, let us know.

Maybe we can help each
other, swap some ideas,

hopefully figure this thing out.

Anyways, until then, this
is Married to a Sleepwalker,

signing off.

Are you almost done?

Yeah, babe, give
me just a minute.

Well, I'm ready.

Ready, ready for what, oh.

Ready for that.

Maybe not share everything.

So I have to sleep
on top of this thing?

Exactly.

So, when you get up,
hopefully the alarm will go off,

and that'll be enough
to jolt you awake.

Hey, at least keep
you from spending

the night outside for a change.

That would be great.

No more rainwater in my mouth.

Why didn't we think
about this sooner?

Actually, we didn't.

Somebody who saw the
first video online suggested it.

A Mr. Goldfish-Super-Fan-97.

The power of social media.

Well, thank you,
Mr. Goldfish-Super-Fan-97!

Shelly?

Thanks, Mr. Goldfish-Super-Fan.

Are you sure that's
coming from me?

I'm positive.

I don't even think that
I could recreate that.

I'll try.

Okay, that wasn't even close.

I can't even do that.

I heard it with my own ears.

It's right there on the monitor.

Well, put it back from
when I first walked outside.

Why did I turn
around right there?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Is your hand okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

So, look, I was thinking,
maybe we should share

this with Dr. Lopez.

Why, he's just gonna
say that sleepwalkers

do weird shit, and he's gonna
overcharge us for our time.

Okay, so let's get a new doctor.

No.

Why not?

You know I don't like him,

and, obviously,
you don't like him.

What are you trying to say,
you having second thoughts?

No, no.

No, of course not.

This is as much my
idea as it is yours, right?

I mean, if it wasn't
for the cameras,

we wouldn't know
half of what's going on.

I need to know what
happens if this doesn't work

or if things continue
to get worse.

It's gonna work.

Of course it is.

What if we don't find anything?

Well, then, I guess
we will just have plenty

to show Dr. Lopez, okay?

Okay, let's go to work.

Dr. Lopez is an ass.

Neurological disorders,
seizures, some fertility drugs,

any number of medical
issues can cause sleepwalking,

but I don't think
that's the case here.

I think we're dealing with
anxiety, pure and simple.

Shelly's sleepwalking begins
and ends with her husband.

He almost died from
the LV, but I think

it's Shelly who
hasn't recovered.

I was the second in the
state to survive complications.

At my worst, the doctors
gave me a 10% chance.

I don't think I would've
made it if it wasn't for Shelly.

I think we're dealing with
anxiety, pure and simple,

because, let's look at
the facts, she lost a child,

she almost lost her
husband, financial trouble,

the stress of the
condition itself.

That can take a
toll on any person,

and I think we're dealing
with all of the above.

My recommendation is that
Shelly get psychiatric care,

but it's important to remember
that this is not a quick fix.

Shelly was a month pregnant
when the sleepwalking started.

She lost the child on
the second morning.

We've been trying to
get pregnant ever since.

This illness has cost us
our money, our house.

It's cost us everything.

I don't like videoing our lives,

but I feel like it's the
only way to somehow find

a way to get back the
life we should have had.

Hey, Shelly, come
check this out.

What you got?

What do you think
that is, right there?

What am I looking for?

You don't see that person?

Right there in the background.

No, I don't see it.

Come on.

I mean, don't you think if
someone was standing there

that we would've noticed?

And, if that is a person,
then I feel really sorry

for them that they don't
have something better to do.

Maybe it's Mr. Cate.

Now that's actually
a scary thought.

Okay, is that how
this is gonna go,

from now on we let
the Internet decide?

Hey, apparently, now
every important decision

is decided on the Internet.

Well, good luck with that.

All right, babe.

I am gonna go take a shower,
and then I'm going to bed.

All right, I'm gonna
come set everything up

after I check the email, okay?

"Another bullshit video."

Yeah, thank you.

Next.

Carol B.

Carol, "why don't
you tie her down?"

Short answer, we did.

Let me go, let me go!

I think you gotta
take me to a hospital.

And that's why we
don't handcuff Shelly,

but a good thought.

All right, one more email here.

This one's from Mary Q.

"My husband's been
sleepwalking for the better part

"of three years, only
meaner when he wakes up.

"Place padlocks on the
doors, then hide the key.

"Let us know your results."

Mary, yes, finally!

All right.

I knew there had
to be someone else

dealing with something similar.

I'd love to chat,
email, phone, your call.

Talk soon, we'll
give this a try.

It's been a week, and
Shelly still hasn't returned

to her usual spot.

I'm not sure what's changed.

If you ask me, I think
she's getting worse.

She's blacking out during
the day, way more than usual.

I've got her doing
strange things,

stranger than usual.

You hear that?

Static?

You don't hear that?

It's voices.

And what are they saying?

Can't make that out.

It's weird, right?

You gonna be okay
while I go to the office?

Mm hmm, yeah, I'll be fine.

Okay.

Hey, sweetie, I'm home.

Shelly?

Babe, you awake?

Shelly.

Shelly.

Honey, Shelly, I'm
going to take that knife.

Shelly, I need you to wake up.

Shelly.

Hi, dinner's ready.

Oh, I guess I made a mess.

I'm gonna get a broom.

Are you okay?

Well, there goes
our security deposit.

Like we were
gonna get that back.

I just don't know how
I feel about listening

to Mary Q's suggestion.

Isn't that the
whole point of this?

Besides, what, are
you scared of Cate?

I doubt he's ever
gonna find out about this.

As we are literally
recording this

with the intent to
upload it to the Internet.

You know those voices in my head

that I'm always
telling you about?

Well, they're telling me
that this is not a good idea.

I mean, you're locking us in.

It's only at night.

What if there's a fire?

Babe, there's not
gonna be any fire.

Besides, I shoulda
did something like this

a long time ago.

And if it doesn't keep
you from sleepwalking,

it'll keep you inside
at night, yeah?

That's a win in my book.

Where are you gonna put the key?

That's for me to know.

What if I need it?

Then I'll get it.

That's what I'm talking about.

If something happens to
you, what am I gonna do,

knock down the door?

If you know where it's at,

doesn't that kinda
defeat the whole purpose?

I don't know.

Look, we can drop all
of this, call the doctor,

if you'd rather do that.

Well, just know that the voice
in my head are not happy.

Yeah, that's no reason
to call the doctor.

As we approach the end of July,

there have been
two new cases of LV

reported on the northern
part of the parish,

but, this time,
they're both children.

Doctors are reporting that
they are in stable condition.

Their conditions will
be closely monitored

for the next 48 hours.

So how is it?

It's delicious.

This something new?

Little something I found online.

Well, you did a really great job

of following the instructions.

What's wrong?

I thought that
was your favorite.

Really, 'cause it
tastes like poison.

You okay?

You tired?

I'm always tired.

I'm always asleep.

Or somewhere in between.

It's just, you know,
sometimes I'm daydreaming

about my everyday daily routine

and then, bam, I wake up
and I'm somewhere else,

doing something kooky.

How do I know
that I'm really sitting

here with you having this meal,

or am I just dreaming
about something

that happened two weeks ago?

Or, maybe, I'm
sleepwalking right now,

and this is just a conversation

that's, you know, a reaction.

It's just my mind on
autopilot, just saying

whatever my subconscious
thinks that you wanna hear.

Life is not a dream, sweetie.

Then why do I feel like

we've had this
conversation before?

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

When was the last time
that you felt carefree,

like everything was
just gonna be fine.

Babe, everybody's
dealing with something.

Maybe this is our something.

Yeah, well, I would
trade our something

for someone else's
something any day.

And then you might
end up much worse.

Or, maybe, we could
end up finally having a kid,

or we wouldn't have
lost the first one.

You can't think like that.

Well, I do.

When was the last time
that you felt carefree,

like everything was
just gonna be fine?

Okay, it was probably the
last few days before I got sick.

We went to that
old burger shack.

That place is a dump.

We only would go there if
we were too lazy to cook.

The food was awful.

So what was so
special about that day?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

And that's what
made it so great.

It was the last
normal day of my life.

I like that one, I'm
gonna steal that one.

What about you?

The same day.

No, you can't have
that one, seriously.

No, I meant it, I'm
gonna steal that one.

At least I know it
actually happened.

Well, at least I'm
back to my usual spot.

Funny.

Come on, you must have told me.

There is no way I told you.

Maybe I saw you hide it.

You were in bed.

And, besides, you look
like you're possessed.

Why did you unplug the zapper?

I don't know, maybe it was
bothering the demons inside me.

I'm serious.

Well, come on,
don't be ridiculous.

I wanna do it again.

Really?

You don't find this
the least bit freaky?

I mean, nothing
surprises me any more.

This whole thing is weird.

I just wanna see what what
happen if we tried it again.

Can you explain that?

It's adapting.

What's adapting?

Whatever it is that's
inside my head.

It's doing whatever
it's gotta do

to get me to do what it wants.

Okay, so that's your
medical diagnosis?

Why would you say
it's happening then?

I'm not a doctor.

I want you to show
these videos to Dr. Lopez.

Finally,

some common sense.

Call tomorrow.

Why?

Why?

The LV virus is everywhere.

LV is the new normal.

Two weeks ago, none
of my staff or researchers

were carrying the virus.

Today, 70% are
infected, so, obviously,

mosquitoes aren't
the only carriers.

In the next year, I
think it's a real possibility

99% of western
civilization could either be

carrying the disease or
dead from complications.

What can be done?

I'm not sure
anything can be done.

Quarantines haven't worked.

We need to identify
other carriers,

examine our blood supplies,
resume research on a vaccine.

Shelly.

Time to wake up.

So what you about
to do, sweetie?

Don't follow.

I warned you.

You're lucky she loves you.

Shelly!

Shelly!

Shelly, wake up, for God's sake!

This is all my fault.

I should've called
the fricking doctor.

I'll never forgive myself if
something happens to her.

She's never
wandered out this far.

I swear, she's gonna wake up

and not know where
the hell she's at,

or, worse, she stays asleep.

Damn it!

Hey, who's there?

Shelly?

Like a dumbass, left
my phone at home.

Morning has to be
a couple hours away.

Guys, this is as bad as it gets.

I mean, there are bodies
of water everywhere,

she can't swim.

Wild animals, and
fricking mosquitoes.

What happened?

Your wife take the night off?

Where the hell have you been?

I was thrilled to wake up
in my own bed for once.

So you don't remember
anything about last night?

I never remember anything.

What did I do?

So what you gonna do, sweetie?

Wasn't expecting that.

Don't follow.

I warned you.

You're lucky she loves you.

Shelly!

Shelly!

Shelly, wake up, for God's sake!

You could've
gotten hurt out there.

Yeah, and you
could've died out there.

I know.

Call Dr. Lopez if you want.

I already did.

I uploaded a video
earlier for him to see.

Got a video conference
scheduled for later today.

He's probably gonna
admit me again.

You don't know that.

Maybe that would be best.

"She found the key, didn't she?"

Found the key, who the
hell did she know that?

Is that what happened
with your husband?

Do you know how he did it?

Please, respond, come on.

Great.

"Yes, but not ready to share.

"Talk soon."

The Internet is
full of crazy people.

Do you see me?

Hey, Dr. Lopez, yeah,
you're a little fuzzy.

Hey, let me get Shelly, hold on.

Hey, Shelly, Dr. Lopez.

Is that any better?

Oh, yeah, much better.

Hey, Dr. Lopez.

Good to see you, Shelly, Daniel.

All right, I took a
look at the video,

and I agree, these new
symptoms are troublesome.

How do you feel, Shelly, tired?

I'm always tired, but I guess

that some days are
better than others.

I'm gonna up the dose
on your Trazodone

to give you a little
bit of extra sleep.

The following day, please,
check in with the nurse,

and let us know if you
have any symptoms,

any complications, et cetera.

And are you still
taking the fertility drugs?

Yeah.

I want you to stop those

until we have a better
understanding of what's going on.

No, I can't do that.

These medications,
in rare instances,

can cause sleepwalking.

I'm going to insist
you follow instructions.

Daniel, I was curious,
how did you come by

the video of your wife?

We've got several cameras
set up around the house.

For what purpose?

Same as you, try to
figure this thing out.

I'm sorry, but how do
you believe this will help?

Research, try to see it
from a different angle.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong,

but do you have
any medical training?

You and Shelly are
accountants, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, that's correct.

Do you feel
qualified to do this?

No, I don't, but if we didn't,

we wouldn't know about
all these new symptoms.

Have you considered that turning

your lives into an experiment

is what's caused her
condition to worsen?

If I'm to be honest,

I think you should
stop that immediately.

I'm fine with that, Doc,
and I can get behind that,

but can you please
explain to me, Dr. Lopez,

how she continues
to find the key.

Daniel thinks I'm possessed.

Pure and simple,
sleepwalkers do strange things.

I haven't reviewed
enough of the video

or understand what
Shelly's observing

to make an educated
guess, but I can assure you

there's a perfectly reasonable
explanation for all this

beyond possession.

Do us all a favor, don't put
your wife under the microscope.

Let's be patient here.

I do believe that we are
about to turn a corner with this.

Make sure to follow
up, best of luck.

He doesn't know
what he's talking about.

He is such an ass!

I don't know, maybe
he's got a point.

No!

That's not it, this
is beyond him.

The problem is, I
need to start listening

to what's going on.

What are you talking about?

I need you to make
sure I stay inside tonight.

I think I know what you are.

It's okay.

I'm listening now.

Maybe this was a bad idea.

Okay.

Okay, you freaks, let's see
if you're paying attention.

What?

What the hell is that?

Shelly!

Shelly, what the hell
are you doing in there?

Shelly, open, what
the hell was that?

Daniel, I think
we're being attacked.

Oh, shit!

Shelly.

Shelly?

Shelly?

Shelly?

I haven't seen or heard
from my wife in two days.

The ransom note, I don't
know who or why or what,

but I know that multiple
people broke into this house

and took my wife.

And I say multiple
because that's the only way

that I can explain
what happened.

But I can tell you one thing,

whoever took her, they've been

watching us for quite some time.

I mean, I've got cameras
covering every inch of this place,

and I got nothing.

Hi, Detective, wasn't
expecting to see you today.

Well, I thought we were
due for a little face-to-face.

You wanna go inside.

I don't think so, I'm not a
big fan of being recorded.

Think you can
turn this thing off?

Not from out here, no.

Everything is controlled
from in the house.

Fine, look, we've
watched all your tapes,

everything you uploaded, and
I'm gonna be honest with you,

is this whole thing
just some sort of hoax?

I'm sorry, a what?

A hoax.

Is this a big joke to you?

It's a game you're playing?

A big cry for attention?

Why would you ask me that?

Because we watched the tapes.

You didn't see the attackers?

You didn't see the hand,
they guy on the roof?

Yeah, we saw all of
it, and it's just the fact

that you have it all recorded

just seems a little
bit convenient.

So I'm asking you one more time,

is this whole thing
you're just trying to make

fools out of our department?

Somebody kidnapped
my wife, Detective,

and I showed you the proof.

You gave us proof
that you're padlocking

your front doors, playing
hide-and-go-seek with the keys,

your wife attacking you,

and your little midnight
stroll through the woods.

So, if this is not a hoax,

I think you have
quite a bit to explain.

I'm just trying to help my wife.

Yeah, so you say, but
I've heard that line before,

only to have to
come back and arrest

the same guy just
a few days later.

So you're saying
that I did this?

I'm not saying that,
but I'm not dismissing it.

So do yourself a favor
and don't do anything crazy

like go and leave
town, you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

I'll be in touch.

"Your wife will
return in six days."

How do you know that, do
you know where my wife is?

"You'll understand in six days.

"Talk to you later."

No way.

Thank you, I walked
outside and forgot my keys.

I would forget my head
if it wasn't attached.

I was gonna run
and get some things,

and I'm gonna pick
up some breakfast.

You want donuts?

Chocolate, glazed?

Where have you been?

Outside.

So you don't
remember any of this?

I remember getting out
of bed and going outside,

and then I locked
myself out the house.

So where are we on breakfast?

Do you want me to make
biscuits instead of donuts?

This doesn't scare you?

I'm over it.

Someone took
you from this house,

and you don't think
this is a big deal?

I mean, how can I
worry about something

that I don't even remember?

So where are we on breakfast?

Okay, so you don't
remember anything?

But I will tell you that I
feel good, really good.

Okay, there you go.

I don't see anything left to
do except to close the case.

Close the case?

Yeah, is there any
reason why we shouldn't?

Someone came and took her.

I mean, who's to say
they won't try this again?

Well, in my business, we
need something called leads.

So, unless you have more
evidence to put forward,

then, yeah, I'd say
this case is closed.

I just don't feel like
this is good enough.

Do you?

I'm just glad that this
whole thing is over.

Who's to say that this
won't happen again?

I think it's safe to say that
this will not happen again.

How can you say anything
if you're not doing anything?

I think your wife has the
right idea here, my friend.

These things don't
always end quite so well.

I think you need to
count your blessings

where you have them.

I think he's right, Daniel.

But we will continue
to look into it

as much as we can manage.

Are you satisfied?

It's good to have you back.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch.

You sure you wanna do this?

Why?

Don't you agree?

I mean, it's all we ever wanted.

Yeah, but I think
it's time that we stop

trying for things that just
aren't meant for us, you know?

I feel better already.

It's time to let it
go, all of it, okay?

You should try it.

So what's the last
thing you remember?

Losing my keys.

And before that?

Honestly, it's all
kind of fragmented.

I remember eating dinner, maybe?

I think we were
watching television?

Or I think we were
talking to Dr. Lopez,

or fighting, but, about
what, I can't really remember.

It's weird, huh?

I think weird seems
to be our normal.

I don't want that
to be us anymore.

I don't think it
can be that easy.

Why not?

Why not just let it go?

You know how crazy that sounds?

I mean, you realize you
were just kidnapped?

We don't know by who, or why.

We don't even know
if they're coming back.

Why does it matter?

Because I'm scared.

You don't realize it, but today

is the beginning
of something better.

How can you say that?

You'll see.

Good morning.

You're still here.

After observing
Shelly for three days,

I can comfortably say
that her sleep patterns

have returned to normal.

That's amazing.

How is that possible?

We've been dealing
with this for years.

She goes and spends
five days out in the woods,

and, all of a sudden, it's gone?

These things disappear in
the same fashion they appear.

But if that doesn't satisfy you,

it's possible that
ceasing her fertility drugs

have had some positive effect.

Look, sorry, Doc,
we're just not used

to getting good news.

You two have been
through enough.

Go on and enjoy life.

You two deserve it.

If you need me, you
know where to find me.

Thanks.

Can you believe it?

- Detective?
- Mind if I come in?

Sure.

Water?

No, no, I'm fine.

Oh, good, you're here, too.

Something we can
do for you, Detective?

Well, I wanted to come
by because we came

across something I think
you both will be interested in.

We picked up a few
kids for vandalizing

a house just up
the street from here,

and we must have given
them a pretty good scare

because they
admitted to everything

from vandalizing that
house to cheating on tests

to vandalizing this house.

- Wait, what?
- Yep.

They are the ones who
knocked your cameras over.

- They kidnap her, too?
- No, no.

But I've been thinking
about that a lot.

She must have simply
crawled out of the window

when you weren't
paying attention.

Great.

That finally sheds
some light on that night.

Case closed.

Now, do you want
to press charges.

No, I'm sure those kids
are in enough trouble.

Yes, ma'am, they are.

I think the worst is behind us.

The death rate has reached
what I would consider

an acceptable point.

In other words, the
curve has flattened.

What makes you say that?

Math.

LV is considerably
more contagious

than we originally thought.

Most of us have it at
this point and are fine.

I think the best thing people
can do is live their lives

and accept LV is going to be

a part of our lives
going forward.

What about a vaccine?

We will be fine
without a vaccine.

What you doing?

I'm not sleepwalking, right?

Not any more, no.

Well, the experiment's over.

Ah, man, I can't
believe I'm saying this,

but I really think it's over.

Ever since Shelly has came back,

it's like it's the old her.

It's like the Shelly I knew
even before I got sick.

So I guess that's it.

Thanks for watching.

Next time I post
a video, hopefully,

it will be of us at the beach.

We did it.

- You ready?
- Absolutely.

Just wanna do one thing.

Come here.

Picture time?

- You got it?
- Mm hmm.

Look at this, 10
minutes into the trip

and she's already asleep.

Hey, babe, I'm going
to get something to eat.

You want anything?

Oh, turn the air off.

My sinuses are
starting to act up.

That noise, that fucking noise.

And I might've let it go

if it wasn't for that
email from Mary Q.

I know it's crazy
to put so much faith

in someone you never met,
but she's been pretty dead on.

And who knows, she, or maybe he,

whoever the hell
is a part of this,

manipulating me, who knows,

but I had to see where
the rabbit hole went.

Hey, sweetie, I'm gonna
be in the office today.

It seems, when I wasn't
home, she started acting weird.

Again.

And now things are worse.

Much worse.

Why are you still recording me?

'Cause you're not well.

What?

I haven't slept-walked in weeks.

Why can't you be glad
that this whole thing's over?

Because it isn't.

You know what?

I think that you like me sick,

like me being dependent on you.

Why can't you just accept
that things are normal now

and be happy for once?

This isn't normal.

I don't even think you're
even you anymore.

What, what does that even mean?

It means I don't think
my wife ever came home.

Then who am I?

I don't know, you tell me.

What happened in the woods?

I told you,

- I don't remember.
- Remember, yeah.

I've already heard that.

So how about this time,
you try telling me the truth.

I'm not doing this with you.

I need you to cut your hand.

I need to see your blood.

I'm leaving.

You can't just leave.

Yeah, why not?

Because this isn't over.

This is definitely over.

Shelly.

- Shelly, please.
- Let go!

Come on!

Shelly?

Oh, shit.

So here we are.

Daniel, Daniel, where are you?

Daniel, you need to
untie me right now!

You're right, you're
right, but first things first.

What happened in the woods.

I told you.

The truth, damn it!

I want you to tell
me the truth, or else.

Or else what?

You gonna hurt me,
you gonna hurt your wife?

Is that what you've come to?

You are not Shelly!

You've lost it, sweetie.

You're the sick one.

Maybe we should've been
recording you this whole time

so that we can show the world
what a sick asshole you are!

Fine, fine.

Last time I'm going to ask.

Wait, wait, Daniel,
what are you doing?

Mary said proof is in the blood,

so we're gonna see
exactly what she meant.

Shelly, why are there
worms inside of you?

You really screwed up now.

What the hell is
that on the floor?

Will you talk to me?

You need to untie me
before this gets out of hand.

Out of hand?

This is pretty much out of hand.

Are you even Shelly
anymore, are you?

What does it matter?

You're not gonna believe
me one way or the other.

I'll believe whatever
you tell me.

Good, first, you need
to go and take my friends

and put them inside
something safe.

- Your friends.
- On the floor.

You're not Shelly

What the hell was that?

Who the hell are these people?

I would not do that.

Why not?

Because the minute
you walk out that door,

they're gonna kill you.

Why would you even tell me that?

Wouldn't it be easier
just to let them do it?

Yes, but Shelly loves you,

and, if something
were to happen to you,

it would cause her sadness,
and we can't let that happen.

It would make her
less manageable.

We?

The worms?

I don't wanna sound
like one of your movies,

but we are not of this world.

The term you use is alien.

Look, all I want is my wife.

That's not possible.

Why, why is that not possible?

Shelly and us are one now.

If we left, billions would die.

You see, Daniel,
Shelly now represents

millions of our
people and, if she dies,

it would be like wiping
out an entire country.

I'm sure you can understand
that we cannot let that happen.

Who the hell is that?

May we come in?

Put down the knife.

Put down the gun.

We both know you're
not gonna hurt your wife.

You don't know what
the hell I'm gonna do.

I'm not even sold
that this is my wife.

We are gonna be
brutally honest here.

You know way
more than we'd like.

Most of us would
like to eliminate you.

I just want my wife
back, worm free.

Shelly already explained
that it's not possible.

We are joined.

That colony will be with
her til the end of her days.

Their children will populate
another and another

and so on and so on.

Well, then take me instead.

We tried.

But some bodies reject us.

Most of them do not survive.

The LV?

Yes, LV.

Originally, we used
mosquitoes as transport,

a way for our children to
populate other colonies,

new bodies, warm bodies.

So this is an invasion.

Colonization.

It's more like cohabitation.

I don't care
what the hell it is.

I'm not gonna let
you get away with this.

Jeez, you were supposed
to be finding a cure,

but, instead, you
were making it worse.

Humans.

I wish we were
compatible with dogs

or anything else on
this miserable rock,

but here we are.

Do the right thing.

Let Shelly go.

Let Shelly go.

Let Shelly go.

You know what,

I'm taking my wife and
getting the hell out of here.

I'll have to handle this.

- Wait.
- Why?

Would it not be easier
if he were just gone?

There's no risk here.

We see it differently.

Most unfortunate.

They're safe.

Only the host has expired.

No need to execute this man.

Besides, he was
just defending himself.

I'm sorry it had to be this way.

You should know
that Shelly is not gone.

We influence, but
we try not to interfere.

You could've lived
your whole life with her,

but you had to know.

You couldn't just be happy.

Please, don't take my wife.

Goodbye.

Finally, there's life.

No, wait.

I'm gonna tell everybody.

Tell whomever you want.

Those we have
bonded with will see

whatever we want
them to see, a movie.

Those who can't or
haven't will see a crazy man.

What do you want?

I wanted to make
sure you were okay.

Yeah, what do you
know about all this?

I pay attention.

I really like the
videos that you post.

I also go by Mary Q.

What?

She's my sister.

I use the alias to help
others like us, the immune.

Come on, let's
get you outta here.

So is the LV Virus
alien in nature?

To say LV is alien in nature

is unbelievably ridiculous.

But, as we've already
seen, there's a small group

of the population
that will believe

any ridiculous conspiracy
theory tossed on the Internet.

These are the same people
that wear aluminum foil hats.

You can trust your government.

We have your best
interests at heart,

and we will do everything
we can to protect you.

And if you don't believe us,

I'm confident
that you will soon.
