Original subtitles

- Previously on "resident alien"...

- This is bad. Mantids are very dangerous.

- Maybe the greys placed some kind of inhibitor

in you to stop you from accessing your powers.

- We can't let our guard down. Not till we catch Joseph.

- Should we let Mike and Liv catch him?

- No. If they find Joseph first, we will never get

the information we need about our baby.

- Hi, Peter.

- I didn't know you were bringing company.

- Peter's proof that aliens are real.

- Son of a bitch. I believe in aliens.

- Greys separated out Harry's alien particles

and left the rest.

- Before Bruce died,

he told me the one thing I could trade to the greys

is the technology of my people,

powerful enough to destroy my home planet.

That will get me my alien energy back,

and I know where to find it.

The old ones say the spirit we carry within us

is the spirit given to us by the star people.

This symbol tells us when the star people

will come back to visit.

We draw these stories to remind us who we are

and where we come from.

"The stories we tell today are woven into all of us.

And we carry them with us forever."

- My dad's dad and his dad's dad...

Actually, my entire family has been

in the time travel portal business for generations.

Except for my cousin Rex.

He's an actuary, which would make 97.3333...

- Storytelling is a way to take someone

to someplace they have never been,

a way to travel through time.

Dale's stories make me wish I could return to a time

before I was even born.

- Now, my mother, that's a whole different story.

She's died.

Uh, that's it. That's the story.

- Wow. I'm sorry. - Wow, I am heartbroken.

- At this rate, I will also be dead

before I can retrieve my alien device from 1970

and trade it with the greys to get my alien energy back.

And the greys will probably use that device

to destroy my home planet.

But nobody needs to know that.

Some stories are better not told.

- Don't rush me.

Going back to a specific time requires finesse,

and I am an artiste.

- Well, I am a doctor who left the clinic early

'cause I thought you'd be finished by now.

Your slow work

has put the health of an entire town at risk.

Has it?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Dude, without your big alien brain,

you're just a guy handing lollipops to kids.

- Yeah, last week, you wrote a prescription

for an apple a day.

- Has that girl been sick since? No.

- As a matter of fact, I'm...

Still getting headaches.

So how does this time travel thing work?

You go back in time and step on a butterfly or whatever,

and do you come back and, like, monkeys are in charge?

- Ha-ha. That is not how portals work.

If I went back 50 years and ran into ten-year-old Asta

and cut off her toe, she would not suddenly lose her toe now.

- Do you think I'm 60?

- What?

- When you go to the past, a new reality branches off,

creating a parallel universe.

Oh, hang on.

I think I have some brochures somewhere.

- Hmm. "So you wanna time travel?

Warning: Traversing the space-time continuum

"may cause serious side effects,

"including incontinence, rectal bleeding,

or a prolonged and painful erection."

All right, so it's not all bad. Let's do this.

You're not going.

- Hey, I made this thing happen.

Dale only answered Harry's call because he has a crush on me.

- It's true.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't so electric

between me and the red menace.

- Harry, tell her she can't go.

- You can go. - Uh?

- Because you are courageous, and you are not afraid to die.

And it will be helpful to me

to have someone to hide behind in case I get shot at.

- You're not going.

- Nobody is going anywhere until I finish this.

Now give me some space.

I'll have you back to 1870 in no time.

- 1970.

Then I'm gonna need a day.

- This is operation manticide.

The praying mantis has several natural predators,

bats, spiders, and birds.

We don't have time to collect enough bats and spiders,

and I'm afraid of birds since one got into my bedroom,

so instead, I developed a weapons-grade manticide

with neem oil, which is a natural pesticide.

And also good for dandruff.

- What are you doing?

It's 3:00.

I started the alien club meeting.

- You can't start without me.

I'm the one who started this club

when you went away for school.

I'm the leader.

- Then maybe show up on time.

- I was busy alien tracking because I'm the alien tracker.

And I found a fresh pile of animal bones

out by the Grady turnoff.

- I thought the mantid only killed humans.

- You told them about the mantid?

- You weren't here.

You're lucky I didn't revoke your alien club privileges.

- You're lucky you can't.

Because I'm the president. You're the secretary.

Hello, I'm Max, your president.

I've seen this alien mantid,

and I tased him, which saved the world.

We need to attack again, so if you all want to be heroes

and not losers holding homemade salad dressing, join me.

- I want to be a hero.

- Did I mention that the mantid eats people's heads?

So follow Max and enjoy having no head.

- S-Sorry, Max.

I like my head.

- Our heads are safe. We can wear cool helmets.

- The Patience county sheriff's department

was called to the copper Ridge motel

after the grisly discovery of a headless John Doe.

I'm here with manager Judy Cooper.

This must be difficult for you.

Isn't this the second death at your hotel in the past year?

- Yeah.

There was a third guy who broke his neck

diving into the hot tub, but he's still sort of alive.

So the floater was better.

This one was messy.

But, um, our top-notch staff cleaned it very well.

That's collette.

She's, like, a really good cleaner.

She has, like, oc-DC, so...

Um, so...

Come out to the copper Ridge,

where all our rooms have locks now.

- I'm margo keen reporting with live 16 kvkc.

- Ooh, we're also running prom night specials.

Lose it here and save.

- Hey.

- Could only find a handful of pre-1970s coins,

but this is like $10,000 in today's money.

- This is a bad idea.

- Relax, it's just time travel.

- You don't hear anything wrong with that sentence?

- Ok, $5,000.

Wait, which sentence?

- Would you stop?

Why do you do this?

You always just jump on to whatever thing's the fastest.

- Yeah, that's why I spent my childhood

going 100 miles an hour down mountains.

Every nerve in your body is screaming.

- Yeah, they're screaming, "stop trying to kill me."

See?

- You get it. - I don't get it.

- Well, you got it from Joseph, who...

Is half-alien, might I add.

I'm just saying maybe I'm not the only one

looking for some excitement.

- I was...

Trying to save her life.

- Yeah, carpe...

Damn, girl.

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

- Ok, yes, it's one thing to save her life.

I just don't want to...

Make sleeping with hybrid aliens

and kidnapping our friend's baby and time travel the norm.

- I'll be fine.

It's 1970. How rough could it be?

- It was one of the most tumultuous and stressful years

in our country's history.

- Yeah, but...

I'll look good.

Nice.

Lookin' good.

I'm gonna need some new threads.

- Ok, we're just north of the lighthouse.

The device dropped near here

somewhere from my people's spaceship

at exactly 7:04 P.M. last night.

- You seem pretty confident for somebody walking on a beach

from 50 years ago.

- The details of the mission

that put that device on this beach

are known by all of my people.

The pilot that missed his target,

he was tortured and killed.

- Jesus. Overreact much?

- It was so sad.

But you know, we sing a commemorative song

every year on this day in screaming Ted's memory.

- That's... touching.

- Well, it's better if you understood my language,

because the chorus rhymes the date of his failure

with "dissected alive."

- Seems like a weird rhyme.

- Son of a bitch.

- Morning, Jen.

- Yoo-hoo.

- Son of a bitch.

Sorry, I need to go and say hi to my friends.

What the hell are you two doing here?

- I came for that.

Thank you for cleaning the sand off of it.

I'll take it now and go home.

- Oh, no. It's mine.

So you and Asta can just

go back to your time portal now.

- Actually, I, um... I'm D'arcy.

- Ah. He never mentioned you.

So if you'll excuse me, I have a shift at the lobster shack.

- Never mentioned me? Not once?

- No, that is not accurate.

I always called you Asta's useless appendage.

- Hey. - Hey.

How did it go in braddock?

- It went great. - Yeah?

- The alien implant is gone.

- Oh, that's great.

- Yeah, it, uh... it looked like a little piece of glass.

I told the doctor that I was in a car accident

when I was a kid.

- Oh, good thinking. - Yeah.

- So now that we know that our baby is here,

you know, and not in outer space somewhere,

what do you... what do you think about telling Liv?

- Oh, honey, we still can't. She'd have to report it.

- Well, then, you know, I... I won't tell deputy Liv.

I'll tell friend Liv.

- Oh, honey, that's very clever.

But she would have to tell Mike.

- Yeah, but... But Liv believes in aliens.

She might actually believe us.

- It doesn't matter if Liv believes.

- Got it.

- Mike is never going to take her seriously.

- That guy does not believe in aliens.

- I think an alien might be doing these killings.

- Wait, you're saying you believe in aliens?

- I've been looking at all this evidence.

Joseph might be behind these headless murders.

Now, if that's true, you were right.

- Then you're saying you believe in aliens.

You just said it.

- What do you want, a damn parade?

I don't have time for this nonsense

with Joseph out there on the loose

and a one-legged cyborg man stuck in a cave.

- No. You saw one.

You believe, and I need you to say it out loud.

This is so exciting.

- Now delete that, deputy.

- Yep. It never happened.

- Delete that.

Are you dancing?

I see your shadow through the door.

- Boy, you're fussy today.

- Hey, it's Kate.

Sorry I haven't gotten those environmental reports to you.

I've been dealing with some stuff.

But I promise to get them to you in the next day or two.

Hey, it's Kate.

Sorry I haven't gotten those environmental reports to you.

I've been dealing with some stuff,

but I promise to get them to you in the next day or two.

- Where did you get the baby?

- As I recall, the deal was no questions asked.

- I am a lawyer and an officer of the court,

so you should think twice before you perjure yourself.

Do the baby's parents know where she is?

- I object.

- This isn't a courtroom.

- You're the one that started using law words.

- You know you can't lie to me.

Remember first grade,

when I made you tell me the truth

about holding hands with Charlie Hamilton?

- That wasn't fair.

You did that thing

where you look into my eyes like you can see my soul.

- Well, as your cousin who can see inside your soul,

I need you to just give me a simple yes or no.

Is that Kate's baby?

- Yes, but that is all I can say.

And Kate doesn't even know where she is.

Which is not as bad as it sounds,

but that is all I can say.

Please don't look inside me.

Please?

Ok, fine. Yes, it's Kate's baby.

And she was taken by aliens

and then we were on a spaceship,

which is actually inside the moon.

And... and... and Joseph, the deputy, is also an alien

who likes to play doctor and nurse in the bedroom,

except I'm the doctor and he's the nurse.

Happy now?

- I'm sorry, what?

- Ok, so you saved the earth three times.

- Maybe four?

Um, after the first, it's easy to lose track.

- It's all just so, like, whoa.

- Yeah.

Whoa.

Also, there's something else.

This might be hard to believe, but...

There is an alien who lives in Patience.

- You mean Harry?

- You knew?

- Easy guess.

I mean, if anyone's an alien, it's either Harry

or that guy coco from the bookstore.

- I should have told you.

It was just... It was all too much.

I mean, it's not safe to be part of any of this,

and I didn't want you to get hurt.

- It's ok. You're telling me now.

That's all that matters.

We are cousins.

We have that special bond and we tell each other everything.

And don't worry, I'm not... I'm not going to tell anyone.

It's our secret.

Well, my dad knows.

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.

- Of... yeah, that's... - Yeah.

- That's really good. - Yeah.

- That's good.

You know, the three of us,

we're going to figure this out together.

- D'arcy knows, too.

- Ok.

- And Max and sahar.

And maybe some of their friends.

- I'm feeling less special.

- Oh, god, I'm so sorry I never told you.

It was just too dangerous, and... I don't know.

Knowing that we're not alone in the universe,

it sounds comforting, but it also

can feel like not being alone in the house.

- Scary. - A little bit.

- Do you remember that comic book, "sky,"

that we used to read all the time as kids?

- Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, I loved that comic.

We made t-shirts of the hand with paint.

- Yeah.

Our people have been passing down this story

for hundreds of years, generation through generation.

And someday, we're going to tell it to our kids.

- Yeah.

- We are a part of something much bigger.

And you,

you are the sum of everyone who has come before you.

You are formidable.

You are everything.

- You are everything.

I know.

Please get out.

- No way.

These prices are insane.

Lobster dinner, 3 bucks?

And with your discount... Ok, I'll take two of those.

- And I will have the alien device.

Lady, a little service here?

This guy.

Hey, hoss, maybe calm down.

Have one of these...

50 cent beers? Is this a joke?

Oh, my god, ok.

Round for everybody on me.

- Please take it easy.

I need this job.

- Didn't you need to go diarrhea?

- Ah.

Yes, that's right.

Time travel. Brutal on the ol' plumbing.

I need to go...

Pee out of my butt.

- You're disgusting.

- You can't have it.

I need it. - For what?

- To save my father's life.

- I know what I saw. Look at the damn photos.

- Oh, we have.

Could have been a weather balloon.

- The agents who made him feel like he was crazy

and ruined his life will be at his house in an hour.

- If these people are your problem,

then give me the device

and I will crush their heads in with it before I leave.

- That would do nothing. They'd just send more.

I saw that alien device fall on the beach when I was a kid,

but I was too scared to say anything.

It's proof that what he saw is real.

When the agents leave, I will give it to him,

and he will finally know the truth.

- Well, I need it.

The greys stole my...

What you would call my life force, my alien energy.

And I need to trade the greys the device to get it back.

- What are the greys planning to do with it?

- They will obliterate my planet.

It sounds worse than it is.

I've been here for two years.

I came back to spend time with my father.

Just a couple of months,

just enough to have a proper goodbye.

As far as he knew, I was just a new lady in town named Jen.

But now, we're friends.

So last night, when your people's spaceship flew over,

I realized that I can fix this.

Waitress.

Yes, sir. Ok.

- I checked the back room,

looked in every purse and all I found were aqua net,

cigarettes, lots of cigarettes.

So many cigarettes.

My god, how are there still people?

But no alien device.

- I will check her car.

And you stay here and babysit general fish hands.

- Why do you get to do it? - Because it is my turn.

And also, I am not good at chitting,

and I'm even worse at chatting.

- Ok, all right, you can do it.

But first, I'm just going to go grab you a piece of this

dirty, unwrapped 1970s hard candy by the door here.

- Don't you... son of a bitch.

- Oh, hello, you two.

I wanted to introduce you to FBI agent Jules gardner.

This is sheriff Mike...

Explode. Ignite.

Both: Patience school is dynamite.

Ok.

- Liv baker, it's been forever.

- They stopped doing that cheer.

You can't say dynamite in a school gym anymore.

- Huh.

I didn't know you went to Patience high.

- Best years of my life.

- Wow, Jules gardner.

- Ben hawthorne, sitting in the mayor's office.

- You know, I don't, uh...

I don't think I've seen you since prom.

Remember?

You, uh, stole my girlfriend.

- Oh, right.

Well, I was drunk and your date was a lesbian.

- Yeah, maybe for, like, a night.

- We dated for six years.

Hey, didn't you throw up in the photo booth?

- On the snack table. - Snack table.

Welcome back to Patience.

I'm sheriff Mike Thompson. - Hi, yeah.

Lena told me all about you as soon as I came on board.

- I called in agent gardner to assist us in the investigation.

She lives in Jessup, and the Colorado field office

was just assigned the case.

- Oh, good.

I mean, I'm not sure

we need outside help on this one, but ok.

- It's protocol in situations like this.

She's a behavioral analyst,

and she works out of the field office in the Springs.

- Wow, that is so cool.

- She also received a shield of bravery,

so I think we are in very good hands.

Sounds like we are.

- So the murders.

I worked up a profile.

This has serial killer written all over it.

You're going to want to order a town-wide curfew for now

to keep everyone safe.

- Yeah, well, I'm... I'm way ahead of you.

I hold regular self-defense classes,

so I'm teaching everyone in town to protect themselves.

- You do?

- Well, I'm... I'm not sure that we have the budget for that.

- Don't need a budget.

Do it right here in the town hall.

- When?

- The usual night.

You never show up.

- I would, but I never have anything imaginary to wear.

- My point is, I'm in the process

of turning every citizen in this town into a lethal weapon.

- Well, it sounds like we have all the bases covered.

- I'm sure we'll catch whoever it is in no time.

- Should have known.

Eat a couple of human heads, cops start swarming,

and soon, every loser in town has a crime podcast.

I guess it's not that bad. Mix it up a little.

Eat a few wild animals while things calm down.

When we were young, we'd eat anything with a pulse.

Nobody talked about carbs or protein intake.

Suppertime.

- Is this ok?

No, it's not scary.

Oh.

Hi, Max. Catch the mantid yet?

- Do you mean have I saved the world again yet?

No.

- Now, if you'll excuse me,

apparently, Bridget is afraid of cartoon vampires.

- What's the problem here, little lady?

Hey.

Well...

Yeah, I'm a little lady.

And I'm just so silly.

You know, it's no-bra night at the war protest,

and I've done locked myself out of my car.

Oh.

Well, let me see what I can do.

- All right.

Far out.

- There you go. - Groovy.

- What did you say your name was?

I should, uh, take it for my report.

- Oh, yeah.

The name's Carol... Brady.

Uh, husband's Mike. He's an architect.

Just us and our six kids

and I think the housekeeper maybe lives with us?

- Like the TV show?

- Is that on TV?

Already?

I'm just joking.

Uh, my real name is Meredith Grey.

I'm a surgeon.

- Just need your name.

- Outta sight.

All right, all right.

Give peace a chance.

Jesus.

- Found it.

I win.

- You know, Max, if you want to help...

Max?

Bridget.

Oh, no.

- Oh, yeah. Yeah, get into it. Uh.

Get into it. A big one right there.

Oh, wow. All right.

Good job, Marie. Good job, everybody.

Give her a hand. Right?

Nice job.

Who wants to go next?

Judy, you want to give it a shot?

Come on. - Yes, sensei Mike.

You don't have to call me that.

- Yes, my lord.

You don't have to call me that either.

Just remember,

most of your attackers will be men, all right?

So you're going to want to go strong into the groin.

All right? Strong into the groin.

- Trust me, it still hurts even if you're a girl.

I fell out of a tree when I was eight.

Took a tree limb right in the beef.

Ok.

Ok, Judy, thank you.

Let's, uh... let's give it a try. All right.

- Let's show 'em how it's done.

- Here you go.

- Yee-ah! - Oh, wow.

I see why you got the gi now.

- Hiyah! - Oh, ok.

- Ow. - All right. Very good.

- This is called the windmill.

Yeah! - Oh.

Ah.

- So, how's that whole weird Joseph thing going?

You said that he's back in town?

- Oh, I didn't say that.

Some guy wearing a mask

whose breath smelled very bad told me that.

- He probably hadn't eaten in a while.

Sometimes that would do that.

So what's... what's, um, going on with that crazy thing anyway?

- I can't really involve you.

You should leave it up to the professionals.

- Well, I'm the mayor,

so I'm obviously a professional.

- If snipping ribbons with fake giant scissors counts.

- Oh, those aren't fake. They cut.

Ask Charlie Jones about his ear.

- Doesn't make sense to loop you in

since you don't know anything.

- Oh, don't I?

Let's just say I have experience

with certain things I cannot discuss.

- Experienced? - Mm-hmm.

- Like alien experience?

I knew it.

Kate has been abducted by aliens.

Just tell me.

- Wow, you went right to... no.

What? No way.

That's... that's crazy.

Slander, you know.

Get out of here with that.

- Ok, all right. - Good job.

She got fists of steel.

All right, who else wants to try?

Anybody?

- I'll go.

- Oh, all right. Come on up, Kate.

All right. - Go, Kate. Hey.

- You know what?

Let's change it up a little bit here.

Do me a favor. Turn around.

- Oh. - Yeah? Ok.

You're out there.

You're minding your own business.

And you don't hear nothing.

And then all of a sudden, bam.

Something's got you.

Please

give me my baby.

- No.

- Right by your neck. Now, what you gonna do?

- No. I said no.

- Jesus... - No.

- All right. - No.

- You're doing it. - No. No. No.

No. No. No.

- Stop, stop. - No. No. No.

- It's ok, it's ok. It's ok.

- I'm starting to remember.

- Ms. Twelvetrees, I need your help.

- I'm in the middle of something, sahar.

- You're organizing lollipops.

- Yeah, you want the right flavor,

you're going to thank me.

- Max took Bridget.

I think he's trying to catch the mantid.

- Jesus.

Uh, hold on one second.

- Seriously?

- Ok, look. I can't leave anything half-done.

It's a problem.

Ok.

- In the vastness of the cosmos,

decisions are rarely simple.

To save myself, I must destroy my own kind.

Yes, my people will be annihilated,

but they will not care because they do not have emotions.

They are very lucky that way.

- Hold on.

Uh, are we sure this device is safe to take to the portal?

- It is safe.

- Remember the banana.

What... what if this thing jams the system or whatever?

W-Why don't we tie a rope to it,

we'll go through, get home,

and then pull the thing in after us?

- Your tiny red brain is working so hard.

This is not a banana.

This is a pleiadian gamma cluster.

It can monitor tides, currents, water temperature,

the salinity of trillions of gallons of water at once.

This device is incomprehensibly complex.

This is a rock. - What?

- Son of a bitch.

She tricked us.

Mostly you.

- Ok, dad. Here we go.

- I was so sure I saw it.

The...

Thing.

- Ufo.

You did.

I saw it too.

What if I said I could give you proof?

- I already have proof.

My daughter took a dozen pictures.

Look at them.

It was just a weather balloon.

Come on, Jen.

This is the United States government.

They know what they're talking about.

I...

I don't know what is wrong with me.

- Nothing is wrong with you.

Here.

Not a photo.

Real.

It fell out of the ship. I saw it.

- Fell off a satellite?

Some kid's science project.

I don't know.

- You listen to me.

This is what they do. They mess with your head.

They make you doubt your own eyes.

It's how people end up thinking the moon landing was fake.

- They do? - Oh, not yet.

It doesn't matter.

- You know what makes this even worse?

I told Henry down at the elks about it.

So stupid.

Now it's all around town.

Went to get my paper this morning.

Neighbors just staring at me.

- Forget everyone else.

Believe what you know is true.

- I don't know what's true.

Not anymore.

You should go now.

- Thanks for fixing Peter's legs.

I didn't realize I was putting them on backwards.

- Been walking around like an ostrich.

It's not such a bad thing.

An ostrich will kick the stuffing out of a cheetah.

- Hold on. I just need to use the little girl's room.

- Go ahead.

I'm mouth-trumpeting, because I'm peeing,

and I don't want you to hear me pee.

- Then trumpet a different song then,

'cause that one's going to get stuck in my head

and then every time I hear it,

I'm going to think about you pee...

- I know what you mean about the trumpeting.

I got sick once during our high school production

of "meet me in St. Louis,"

and now, every time I hear clang, clang, clang...

Sir?

- It's a... a bug.

- You... you saw a bug?

What kind of bug?

- Big.

A big thing.

A g... a giant thing, like, 8, 9 feet tall.

Like a... like a... Like a giant cricket.

- Cricket?

Wait.

W-Was it more like a praying mantis?

- Yes. Like that.

- Oh, my god.

It was a mantid alien.

You saw another alien.

And not just any alien,

one of the rarest aliens in the universe.

Oh, man.

Everyone gets to see an alien but me.

I'm never peeing again.

- Ok, we wait for the milkman.

And then you jump him

and strip him of his uniform, put on the uniform,

knock on the door, seduce the father,

ply him with milks and cheeses, get weird with it,

but keep his...

- This plan really hinges on his attraction to milkmen.

Who isn't attracted to milkmen?

Uh...

- Whatever you idiots were planning, forget it.

I failed.

My father is going to die, so this is all yours.

- Ok, goodbye.

- Wait, wait.

What happened?

- I thought I could save him.

Thought I could change the future.

I spent my whole life hating my younger self

because she didn't do enough.

Maybe it's time to forgive her.

Because I failed him, too.

- Ok, goodbye.

- Ok, hold on. Jesus.

Look, that sucks.

But maybe you weren't meant to come back

and change things, right?

Why... why don't you come back with us?

- No. I'm staying.

- Well, I'm not.

I will wait for you at the portal.

I don't get it.

Why stay here?

You're just a waitress.

You could go back to where you're admiral

of the space army or whatever.

I don't really know what your job was, sorry.

- I'm staying for her.

That little girl is going to need somebody.

Her father wouldn't listen, not even to his own daughter.

- Yeah, but you're not.

- What?

- His daughter.

I mean, not here, not to him.

You're just Jen from the lobster shack.

Maybe you should let her try.

Look, I gotta go.

He is a hundo p not waiting for me.

- Hey.

Did Harry ever tell you

what he's really planning to use that device for?

- Oh, hi, Ms. McCallister.

- That was one of my favorite books when I was your age.

Everyone gave me baby books,

but my dad knew that I was capable of more.

You saw that ufo, didn't you?

- I... I don't know.

I know you think that if you tell your dad what you saw

that he might not believe you,

that things might never be the same between you again.

- How did you know that?

- I was once a little girl too.

Lots of people will try to take away your voice.

But you always have to tell the truth.

I know that you are very strong.

And right now, you can share your strength

with your dad so that he believes he saw what he saw.

Do you think you could do that for both of us?

- Dad?

I saw it too.

- You did?

- I believe you.

- Oh, thank you, honey, for believing.

- Are you sure this is the right way?

- Yes. Max said he found some animal carcasses

near the Grady property.

- Yup, here I am,

Max, just a normal unsupervised kid

in the woods alone at night, who can see aliens.

I hope there's no monsters around.

I'm really helpless.

- Hey, stupid.

Looks like company's coming.

- Oh! - Lame catchphrase.

Here's mine.

- Let me go.

- Ow! Wait a minute.

- What the hell?

- Gross.

- Huh?

Oh, hey, guys.

You seen Harry?

- Why didn't you tell me

I was helping you destroy your people?

- I think you would not have helped.

- No, I wouldn't have. Good call.

- I'm doing it to kill the mantid,

to save earth, your planet.

- Yeah, right.

One day as a human,

and you care so much about the people of earth.

- Yes.

- You can't lie to a liar.

Look at me.

Harry. - Leave me alone.

I have to do this.

- Yeah, to get your alien energy back.

- Yes.

Ok, fine.

I need it back. I have to have it.

I am weak in this human body.

I am vulnerable. I am frightened.

- Welcome to the club.

- I'm nothing now.

You should understand.

You were an olympic athlete.

What if you had a chance to get that back?

- Yeah, yeah.

I'd be tempted.

But not if it was going to kill everyone on earth.

And if I was in that situation, I would...

I would want a friend to talk me out of it.

- I do not want you to talk me out of it.

I don't want to feel like this.

I do not want to feel like I am nothing.

- I think you'll feel more like nothing if you do this.

These are your people.

You can't just wipe 'em out.

- But I will be me again.

- But only you.

No one else in your race. No connection.

Just floating at the end of nothing.

Sometimes beings are forced to acknowledge their history.

And to recognize that they are not separate from it,

but that it lives inside of them.

- Yeah, your cards are bad.

- There's a couple of cards there.

- Sometimes they get to rewrite their history.

- Take that one. I don't even need it.

I don't want that one.

I want... I want this one over here.

- Sometimes they avoid it entirely.

- I spent my whole life

hating my younger self, because she didn't do enough.

Maybe it's time to forgive her.

- You screwed everything up.

- Oh, hey, there's D'arcy.

- Please. Give me my baby.

- Hon, you okay?

- She was there.

- What?

- My history is one of being a strong, proud alien,

and I chose to preserve that.

Now my story is...

I am a human.

And a lactose-intolerant human.

But as humans like to say, and I still do not know why,

it is what it is.

And I'm sure it will not be as bad.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Foot cramp. Foot cramp.

Ah, ah.

- Honey, I'm home.

- Heather.

- I want you to meet your kids.

- And sometimes, our history comes home to roost.

Oh.
