Okay, how about a rocket dog with spacechips?

Spaghetti with meteor?

Galactic grape cup?

Elio, you have to eat something.

You remember what your mom used to order for you?

Major Solís.

What are you doing here?

Hey, I'm with my nephew.

I'm trying to get him to eat.

Oh, right.

Your nephew.

I heard about your brother and his wife.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

We're managing.

What about the astronaut program?

No, not anymore.

But timing just isn't right.

Of course.

But it's been great spending time with my new roommate. Right, buddy?

Oh, no.

Hello from the children of planet Earth.

Since the dawn of time, humans have gazed at the stars and wondered

Are we alone?

Voyager is our attempt to find out.

This intrepid explorer is on a mission,

Traveling farther than any human has ever gone.

to the distant reaches of the cosmos and beyond.

Voyager will never see those who made it again.

It will drift on, solitary and alone.

But maybe one day, distant worlds will receive its message, and Voyager will

And Voyager will complete its mission, proving we aren't so alone

After all.

Elio!

Elio!

Elio!

Are you hurt?

What happened? What happened?

Is life really out there to you, Olga?

What? Come on.

You can't run away like that, Elio.

I would like to extend the greetings of the government and the people of Canada.

Hello from the children of planet Earth.

find yourself living in a shotgun shack and you may find yourself in another

part of the world and you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large

automobile and you may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife

and you may ask yourself

Well, How did I get here?

Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was.

- Are you Elio? - Who wants to know?

You put flyers up for a ham radio club?

Uh, I am Elio Solís, president and leader of the ham radio club

of this beach.

Cool. I'm Bryce.

Great, cool, awesome.

- Did you bring it? - Oh, yeah.

It's my dad's ham radio, but I have my own call sign. It's BXLOL.

What sometimes makes people I talk to laugh.

- How far have you called? - On Friday, I talked to...

Ohio.

Oh. If I can pair these together, I can double their reach.

Okay, you can go now.

Go?

Wait, where is everyone else?

Unfortunately, most of our members came down with amnesia and forgot to come.

- But I'll see you at the next meetup in three months. - What's up, Bryce?

Hey.

- I'm going to... - You almost messed up there.

Hey!

Uh -huh. Oh, yeah.

Swish. Nice.

This is Caleb.

He wanted to come, too.

Oh. Hey.

What's with the hat?

Like I said, the meetup's been postponed.

- Shingles is no joke. - I thought it was amnesia.

Oh, my God. You're right. It's spreading.

- You better go free, Bye! - What's up with this guy?

Dude, chill.

- He's a kid whose parents died. - Hey, that's classified information.

As leader of this radio club, I hereby...

Did you do that?

Is this supposed to happen?

Stop it!

Hello? Can you hear me?

Let me see that.

- Don't touch that. - I was just...

No!

yo that was not my fault i didn't...

Oh, Come on!

Stop!

Hey, What are you doing?

Unbelievable!

Fighting on the beach?s

Skipping school?

Am I going to have to put a tracker on you?

Now your eye.

The doctor said not to touch it for two weeks.

- Elio! - Oh, you meant starting now.

This is serious.

- What were you thinking? - I was minding my own business, taking in the night air,

and suddenly these ruffians attacked me. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Look me in the eye and for once, tell me the truth.

No, I'm not learning Elioese.

Major Solís.

You going to the seminar tonight?

There'll be a speaker from the astronaut selection program.

- No, no, no. Something came up. - Oh, is this the nephew we've heard so much

Yes, that's him.

- Gluto! - Stop it!

We don't know if this is boundary testing or sleep regression.

Which one of these is you?

I don't know, but I think that one is you.

Okay, I've got one last meeting, so I need you to sit here and not move or speak

Or injure yourself for ten minutes.

I have enough to deal with already.

What's with this emergency meeting?

Oh, you didn't hear?

Melmac thinks he found aliens.

All right, Mr. Melmac, let's hear it.

Major...

Major Solís.

Earlier today, I found this signal coming from Interstellar Space.

- Melmac, please, it's late. - Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Listen closely.

Hello!

Hello!

- In 1977, NASA launched the.. - The Golden Record.

The Golden Record, yes!

- The what? - The Golden Record, sir.

Was Earth's message in a bottle.

- Hello from the children of planet Earth. - Don't you see?

Hello, planet Earth. I think someone in interstellar space found our message

and is sending it back to us as a reply.

- Melmack. - Major.

- Melmack. - Major!

We can't just leave it like this. We have to respond.

I've already rerouted every satellite to send a signal back. It might cause a few falures.

Sir, we need a small electrical fire.

But it would be worth it for first contact.

I have everything queued up and ready to go. Just say the word.

If someone or something is calling out to Earth.

Who on Earth do you want taking that call?

You

Should go home.

Take a week.

You've got to believe me. Major, please.

They're out there.

Major!

May I remind everyone that we are orbital analysts.

We track space debris, not rogue UFO signals.

Let's just... Let's just take five. It's been a long night.

This is Elio Solís of planet Earth.

Uh i come in peace and i'm super excited to join you

uh i'm creative, hardworking, shredded uh so please come and get me i'll be waiting.

Okay bye I love you.

Nice.

Yes!

Yes!

Oh no.

I take full responsibility, but, I mean, you have kids, right? I'll be out of

I'll be away soon. Don't worry. Just need a few snacks for the road.

Elio! I'm sorry, ma'am.

- Which one? Fuego? Fuego. - Yeah, I understand.

Should I take forks? Will they think it's weapons?

Not worth the risk. I'll bring spoons.

Nice, peaceful spoon.

Where's my good cape?

It's not in the washes, is it?

Ah, here it is.

- Elio! -Blue or green?

Which one says "take me with you"? But not in a desperate

Elio, stop!

Please!

Aliens are not...

Coming for you.

- But that guy said... - You're out of control.

You got in a fight. You shut down power to the whole base.

And i almost lost my job.

We have to try something different.

Boarding school?

- You're trying to get rid of me. - No, this is just their sleepaway camp. It's just

a couple of weeks. I can't go.

- They're coming tonight. You have to make friends, well jast a friend.

- I don't care about friends. I need to meet aliens. - Why?

Because there's 500 million planets out there...

And one of them's gotta want me! Because obviously you don't.

- Of course I do! We're family! - You're not my family!

Your life isn't up there, Elio.

It's down here.

When I drop him off tomorrow, I'm going to see if I can enroll him in the hall.

I know, but... It just isn't how I thought my life would be.

It's an ancient human being. You can find it in virtually every culture, in

religion, folklore, superstition, and now in science.

The search for light elsewhere is...

remarkable in our age because this is the first time that we can actually do

something besides speculation.

We can send spacecraft to nearby planets.

We can use large radio telescopes to see if there is any message being sent to us lately.

And it touches to the deepest of human concerns.

Are we alone?

You know, I went here too when I was a kid.

You might not believe me right now, but this will be good for you.

- Oh, Counselor Truman, could I have a word? - Of course, ma 'am.

We've got so much trouble.

Because of you.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

- Watch your back. - Yeah.

- We're not gonna hurt him right? just scare him a little. - Come on, it'll be funny.

Shut up!

Greetings, Earthling.

We come in...peace!

Where'd he go?

Athena 5, there's a decommissioned satellite headed your way. I'm

I'm calculating a new flight path for you.

Stand by.

Minus 53 plus 32 roll 7.

Yeah, copy that.

Sorry about the scare.

There's been a lot of satellite interference today.

Roger that. Athena 5 over now.

Elio!

- Show yourself wherever you are. Elio!

Don't you wanna hang out with us?

Don't you wanna be with some aliens?

Come on, it'ill be fun.

Come on, spaceboy. we know you're out there.

Gotcha.

Yeah, You got me.

- This is payback. - Hey, it's okay. You don't need to pay me back.

Wait, what is that?

Hope you like how it tastes.

There's something back there.

- You're so dead Solís. - Hey, hold on.

Wait.

YAY!

It's happening! It's really happening!

I knew it, I knew it.

Hi.

I knew it, I knew aliens were looking for me.

Best day in my life!

I promise, I will put my weight on this uh...spaceship is this a spaceship?

Anyway, where should we start?

Hope sample?

I've got plenty.

Testing.

Can you understand me now?

Yes!

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm Ooooo.

A liquid supercomputer.

Allow me to adjust your gravity.

Oh no, no, I'm fine.

Gravity on.

A welcome glass of Hylurg.

Compliments of the Communiverse.

Thank you!

Wait, the what?

Welcome to the Communiverse.

A pan-galactic organization of the advanced species of the cosmos.

The greatest minds of the universe have come here to share knowledge,

- Innovation... - And recipes.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

Greetings, ambassadors.

Absolutely excited to meet you, acquaintance.

Oop, you've run dry. Let me top you off, old brick.

Thank you.

Yes. One cerebellum, four lobes, and a medulla.

Do you mind if I take a little peek inside and see?

- Questa, don't mind me. You've just met him. - I'm so sorry about that.

I'm Questa of Gom.

Helix of Falluvinum.

Tegman of Tegman. And you are?

Elio Solís of uh... Earth.

Addressed to our new candidate, Elio Solís of Uh Earth.

We searched the universe for lifelines, souls, and new species

And we think you're an excellent candidate for Communiverse membership.

You mean i can stay here?

If all the members agree.

Then yes.

You'll be one of us.

And be the proud bearer of one of these.

Now come, everyone's eager to meet you.

Each one brings our knowledge and interest to share.

Now here created the community that we use to control gravity,

temperature, and all known languages.

This is my most recent design.

Try it.

Hello. I am a universal user's manual. I contain the secrets of the universe.

What is the meaning of life? What lies beyond a black hole?

- Is there a... - Who would win in a fight? One gorilla with a baseball bat?

Or ten chimps?

None who fight are true winners.

Huh?

The gorilla.

These little critters are mean mobsters.

They use nanotechnology to construct anything you desire.

- Are you kidding me? - How dashing!

It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

This is the bathroom.

It's like i was always meant to be here.

I knew you were looking for me.

Of course we were looking for you.

Ever since we picked up this charming little spacecraft you sent us.

- Voyager? - We found it in an asteroid field.

Nice craftsmanship.

Um, thanks?

Curious about the species who made it

We sent an invitation and were delighted to you receive your planet's official reply.

This is Elio Solís of planet Earth.

And i'm super excited to join you.

I'm creative, hardworking, shredded.

So please come and get me i'll be waiting.

Okay bye I love you.

- Very touching - We are delighted to finally make your acquaintance,

Leader of Uh Earth.

Why is your face melting?

- Oh, well... - Ambassadors, an urgent matter requires your attention.

It involves the other candidate.

Oh dear.

- We should hurry. Quickly now. - Excuse us.

Please join us.

Your technology and my weapons would be an unstoppable alliance.

Now, admit me to your communiverse.

Unfortunately, candidate Grigon, it is our assessment that you are not a fit.

I, Lord Grigon, Blood Emperor of Hylurg.

Not a fit?

Well, we believe in tolerance and open mindedness.

I am tolerant!

I'm sorry.

It's not you.

It's us.

- I thought we said it was him. - Shhh!

If i cannot join the Communiverse, then i shall...

take it by force!

Prepare to be conquered!

- Why did he make a new hole? - I suggest we run and hide.

Yes, let's go to the edge of the cosmos and turn off all the lights.

Uh, that includes me, right?

Oh, so sorry, candidate Solís.

We couldn't possibly accept new members under the current situation.

Applications are closed indefinitely.

- But I just got here. - Such a shame.

Check back in a few thousand years.

Perhaps one of us could talk to Lord Grigon.

- You do it. - Not me.

I am shy.

I'm busy.

Don't worry. I'll return you to your life on Earth just as it was.

Just as it was.

No!

I'll do it.

I'm the leader of Earth.

I'm the perfect guy for the job.

- What did he say. - I don't understand.

You would talk to Lord Grigon?

- What would you say? - Are youan expert on conflict negotiation?

You kidding? My life is nothing but conflict.

And I've got the battle scars prove it.

It would be a welcome change not to flee every bully who covets our treasures.

Yes, what's in it for you? Why would you agree to such a dangerous mission.

Because...

you need me.

And at my age, it's really bad giving my back.

If you can make Grigon go away, we'd make you a member on the spot.

Then I, the leader of Earth, am ready to serve.

Candidate Solís, you continue to surprise.

When Grigon returns, we shall ready for him.

Until then, as you say on Uh Earth

Okay bye I love you.

Okay, bye, I love you.

Don't worry, I got this.

You are in great hands.

- Just one last order of business. - Yeah, of course.

While you negotiate with the warlord

you'll need a temporary replacement.

Can i trouble yoy for a dna sample

Sure, where do you want...?

Wow! My first probe.

world leaders such as yourself can't just disappear.

Your planet world would descend into chaos.

That's what cloning clay is for.

Wow!

- Wow! - Wow!

Is this really me?

Rock, paper

Black hole.

- Oh! - Oh!

This is amazing.

In you go.

- Sorry. - It's a living.

So, what is my motivation?

What do you mean?

Should I change anything

or just stick with the low self-esteem and desperation to belong?

What? I'm normal. Just be normal.

No weird stuff, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

Have fun.

Intriguing Uh Earth system.

The warlord awaits.

It was that.

Just a few things I wanted to brush up on.

- What was that thing that knows everything about everything? - You mean this?

Hello. I am a universal user's manual.

Would you like to learn the meaning of life now?

No, I need everything you've got on how to negotiate with the warmonger.

Certainly.

- I have chapters on leading with empathy. - Nope.

- Fostering connection. - Nope.

Making the killer deal.

Yes, that one. Do you have a pen?

In the increasingly likely event that you will die.

Would you like to notify your next of kin on Uh Earth?

No, that's okay.

Start from a position of power. The most important thing is to stay calm.

Don't you tell me to stay calm.

What is this, huh? A camp or a fight club?

He's an innocent little boy. And if this is what you call being a character, then

I'll pick it up with your boss.

Everyone's boss.

Unacceptable.

I never should have left you here.

Yeah, they chase me because I'm weak and small.

But there was pizza for dinner. So overall, a pretty good night.

- How's the eye? swollen? Did they hurt it? - It's fine.

I'm so sorry to check in. Something weird was happening.

- That's okay. - I was tracking this crazy signal from space.

Are we going home? What's for dinner?

Um, mac and cheese.

I just thought you'd be interested because if aliens were calling from space

- Elio? - Are we doing regular or white cheddar, I'm starved.

So you don't want to talk about aliens?

Not really.

I thought it'd be better if I just dropped it.

Really?

That's amazing.

Good for you.

Oh,

I love this song.

Do you see him?

Be confident.

Speak from a position of power.

There he is. The man of the hour.

Sorry I'm late.

So, is Lord Grigon coming here?

Oh, no.

You will be going out there.

Okay. Bye. Love you.

What is this?

Red. Green.

Welcome, Captain Solís.

You have selected a map of our coordinates.

Cabin process. Shield function.

Abruptness. Ablarm. Ah, we found the mint.

You have set our destination to your home planet.

Uh, Earth?

Confirm or cancel.

Good luck.

Cancel.

- A little to the left. - Get your nubs at ten and two.

What a heroic figure he cuts!

Hi!

Take me to your leader.

This is who the Communiverse sends?

You are more puny than I expected.

I could say the same about you.

Huh?

What do you need to leave the Communiverse alone?

Hylurgians prefer to negotiate with screams in the air.

Recoil's a little heavy.

Your turn.

Darn, I, uh, left my arm cannon at home. Why don't we, uh...

Use one of mine.

So nice of you.

I mean, we're both leaders and...

surely we can find something to everyone's mutual...

benefit.

trick shot perhaps we are able to communicate.

But those communiverse neglects looking at me like some kind of monster.

How dare they reject me?

Well, if they don't want you why not find someone who does

Come again.

There's gotta be a place out there that would love to have a strong guy like you.

But is the Communiverse not where the greatest leaders gather?

Am I not great?

Totally. But why waste your life trying to connect with people who don't get you?

It's time to move on.

Right, Gri guy?

Gri guy?

Yes.

What worker? What is this?

The princeling wants to see you. For the hate of it.

And tell him i'm busy.

So, as we were saying, forget the Communiverse.

You are a father, right?

- Oh, yeah. - It is so difficult.

He has no concept of the importance of my work.

I get it. If he's too hard to handle, then just ship him off.

- That's what I did with mine. - Too hard to handle?

Uh, I mean...

- You think I cannot handle my own son? - No, no, no. I don't think...

No, really. Tell me.

what I am doing wrong.

It's okay. I'm a bad parent too.

What?

None of us know what we're doing. We didn't even want this.

Let me remind you who you are dealing with.

I am Grigon, the lord emperor of Hylurg.

And a great father.

Why..why don't we take a...

The negotiation is over.

Gronk, show the prisoner to his quarters.

Prisoner? What?

You will watch for myself as I destroy your beloved Communiverse.

No, no, wait.

He's really turned over new.

- Hey, Elio! - Hey, Jim! how's your back?

- Uh, ypu know - I hear ya.

- Camp must have really helped. - I guess it did.

But he was only there for one day.

Oh, I overheard the colonel raving about you.

Really? She was?

Opsi.

Wait, please.

You made a mistake, I'm the leader of Earth.

Ouch!

Gravity, um, off.

Whoa.

Okay, that's enough.

Gravity, back.

Okay, I'll just get back to Grigon.

What haven't I tried?

Bargaining chip.

Like, something valuable.

Where am i gonna find...?

Hi there!

I don't want to die, I din't want to die.

What's happening? what's happening?

Whoa, just cool.

- Are you gonna eat me? - What? Ew!

I was wrapping you 'cause you seems scared.

That's what my mom does when i get scared.

You're just a little kid.

So? You don't have to be rude about it.

Oh, no, no, Hey, come back!

I wasn't making fun of you.

My name is Elio.

What's your name?

You really wanna know my name?

Well, I really wanna get down.

I'm Glordon.

No one's ever asked me about my name before.

I mean, i ask alot of questions all the time.

No one's ever asked me questions about me though, like what my favorite color is, it's purple.

If you're asking

What's wrong with you?

This's just my carapace.

- What? - I'll show you.

Whoa!

every Hylurgian gets one when they come of age.

It's got weapons and bombs and

Ooh, and a cup holder.

It's bespoke.

So, if Hylurgians took off their armor, they'd look like you?

Yeah, but nobody would ever do that.

To expose your soft, warm flesh

it would dishonor you and your whole family for all eternity.

I can't wait to get installed.

I'm gonna look so hot.

Alert! prisoner has escape!

- Prisoner has escape! - Are they talking about you?

It's a complicated political situation.

You wouldn't understand.

Are you a Trudgeworth incident?

Where's he? check every...

Are you an assassin?

What'd you do?

Come on. I'm really gonna keep it secret.

Secret is...

I'm a kid.

What? really?

And...

Whoa!

What?

Oh!

- No way, you're crazy. - I know.

And now Grigon's gonna blow everyone up unless i can find a bargaining chip.

Something he values, but what does he even value?

Well, dad values blood, glory, the misiry of his enemies.

- Oh, there's this one time... - Hold up.

Grigon is your dad?

I thought you knew.

I look just like him. Check it out.

I've been working on my back.

Can I ask you a big favor?

Sure.

A bargaining chip, cool

I've never been a bargaining chip before.

I've been a liability, a disappointment,

I've also been an enigma, a problem, a headache.

A little help, please.

I mean i've just been ignored.

But now my dad's finally going to pay attention to me.

Do your parents pay attention to you? Well,

My aunt Olga doesn't care.

With me out of the way, she can do what she really wants.

- Like be an astronaut or whatever. - She gave up being an astronaut or whatever for you?

Wow.

She must really love you.

No. No, she doesn't.

But now I'm free to join the Communiverse.

Which's i where belong anyway.

Tht's where you're coming.

Candidate Solís.

Hylorgian ships seem to be pointing the cannon at us.

Is this part of the negotiation?

That's just a drill, don't worry.

Come on.

What are these tunnels for anyway?

These are the lava tunnels.

Oh dear, I'm not fireproof.

Really?

Why didn't you say something?

Glordon!

It's okay, Just get in my mouth.

What? no way.

Trust me.

It's... actually it's kinda comfy in here.

It's.

Hold on.

Refreshing.

You're okay?

Yes!

Lower me down.

Oh.

Thanks, Glordon.

It's nothing.

Up top.

Who wants to play?

It's Candidate Solís.

I'm sure he's bringing good news.

I'm so excited, I'm so excited.

Candidate Solís.

What happened?

Ooooo, open the lines on lord Grigon.

Of course.

Who's this?

Who's responsible for...

You!

Yes!

It's me, leader of Earth.

And the negotiation is not over.

Because now i've got this.

Glordon?

Yes!

And pretty soon he's gonna be Glor-done.

Hi dad.

I'm a bargaining chip.

No, say the other thing.

Help me father. he overpowered me, he's too strong.

too shredded.

Quiet, you.

What is that unholy sound?

Stop, Stop.

- Only if you swear... - on your Hylurgian honor.

on your Hylurgian honor to leave the Communiverse in peace.

and never return.

On my Hylurgian honor?

Do you know what you are asking?

Stop! Stop!

I swear on my honor.

You are full of surprises.

You have my vow.

I will come to collect my son.

But if even one hair on him is harmed

You will feel my wrath.

Well done.

- I knew you had it in you. - Thank you.

And officially welcome you into the...

I'm customizing your membership badge right now.

Do you like the color?

It's beautiful.

but first, let's prepare for lord Grigon's arrival.

You guys go ahead.

I'll take care of the bargaining chip.

Very good,candidate Solís.

anyone know Good Capra?

Oh, we did it!

Yeah! You were so c -cold!

Oh, you okay?

I've never been outside before.

It's cold here.

Wow, this thing is amazing.

Watch this.

Gravity, off.

Gravity off?

You think this is cool? Come on!

The shuttle is ready. Shall we depart?

No, not yet.

The Princeling was taken because he was vulnerable.

Exposed. Soft.

- Prepare his carapace! - But that will take time, your bloodness.

Do it!

We will perform Glordon's ceremony on the Communiverse,

and they will wither at the full might of Hylurg!

Ready?

Yes!

No!

Okay, yes.

On three.

One, two...

Two and a half.

Two and a half.

- Three. - Three.

- Again? - Heck yeah, again.

On three.

One, two

No, no.

So everyone speaks Elioese on Earth?

Nah, just me.

And my parents.

Or at least they did.

My aunt's not into it.

But I keep using it so I don't forget.

Did something happen to your parents?

Yeah.

I know it's not the same, but my mom's gone a lot.

Fighting the blood wars.

I miss her a ton.

Sometimes it feels like dad doesn't even want me.

I know what you mean.

The only people who wanted me are gone.

But, I don't know.

What if... What if there's nothing about me to want?

I thought Earth was the problem, but what if it's me?

Well, I like you, and you seem fine to me.

- Oh, thay brought your carapace. - I guess so.

But that's good, right?

Yeah, I mean, it has a flamethrower, a circular saw, a shotgun.

It'll get to fight and conquer and kill.

Glordon!

do you not want to get into your carapace?

Yeah, I mean, kind of, well...

No, no.

I've been pretending to want it, but I've been living a lie.

Once I'm installed, I'll never get to play or swim or do anything.

It'll be the worst.

Then why didn't you say something?

Because all Hylurgian have to do\Nit. It's tradition.

And if I don't...

My dad will hate me.

Glordon, you're not gonna get into it.

I don't have a choice.

We'll figure it out.

I don't know how, but...

Oh, wait!

What?

What are we doing?

We're going to give your dad what he wants.

- Me? - Yes, but also not.

cloning clay?

- Are you sure about this? - Yeah, why not?

I don't know, but if I'm really fooling my dad, he's pretty smart.

Oh, it's going to work. I'll show you.

Ooooo! Ooooo!

- Yes. - Can I check on my clone?

Certainly

Mmm, that smells good, Papito.

- It's a secret recipe. You're gonna love it - How are you so good at everthing?

Wow,

I guess it does work.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, your dad will take your clone back to Hylurg.

I'll become an ambassador.

neither of us will have to see Hyl-stupid-urg again.

It's a win-win-win.

I'm Glordon.

Wow. Am I really that good?

- You, follow us. - You got it.

You'll be safe in here. No one else can open it.

All right, Glordon. Get in the ship.

- Okay. - Okay.

I can't tell you apart.

Seriously! which one is real?

Me.

Stay inside.

and don't peak yourself.

I'll be right back.

Come on.

You look so good.

I can't even tell the difference.

I can't even tell the difference.

I know.

Who knew your cook is just as yummy as Butter's.

And half the cholesterol.

It's perfect.

Let me get that for you.

Thanks so much.

Well, i'm gonna turn in for the night.

Alright, But first

get over here kiddo.

Good night.

What the...?

Hi, we should probably talk.

And for my next trick, think of a number.

Uh, wait.

Okay, got it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I don't know how much longer we can stall.

I'm sure he'll be here momentarily.

I sense the number is seven.

What?

- She's right. - Where is my son?

He's here.

He's right here.

Daddy!

Lord Grigon, we return to you Prince Glordon

My son, did he harm you?

Nope. Everyone was super nice.

Hmm. Are you prepared to become the greatest war machine in the universe?

To make your enemies tremble at the sight of you?

To prove the might of the Hylurgians...

Yes, let's do it.

Oh.

Actually, I had more to say. But yes, let us get on with it.

Witness the power of Hylurg.

- Witness! - Very impressive.

Great.

As you have kept your word, I will keep mine and leave this place and never to return.

Hylurgians, fall back!

- Candidate Solís, you did it. - Well done.

You good, son?

Oh, yeah.

I can't wait to make endless war and pillage the unworthy and bring them...

May I have the honor of joining the Communiverse?

The honor would be ours, candidate Solís.

Or should I say, ambassador Solís.

You're one of us now.

It was a clone.

Where is my son?

How could you tell?

The father always knows.

You! Read his mind. Find the truth.

- I'm so sorry. - No!

No!

No, no, no!

Please, no!

What did you see?

Your son is in a diplomatic ship in the docking bay.

That's the truth!

- More of it, Elio? - Well, thank you Glordon.

Elio!

You have selected a map of our coordinates.

- Destination... - Earth.

Confirm or cancel?

What?

Confirm?

Ooooo!

Open a portal to Earth.

What are you doing?

Would you tell them?

Or must I?

Please don't.

He is not the leader of Earth.

He is not the leader of anything.

He is just a child.

Oh, no.

She's wrong.

I am the leader of Earth.

I can still help.

Just please, please let me stay.

He is not there.

- But I saw him. - We are surprised...

Arrest him.

The Communiverse is now under Hylurgian Control!

Don't touch me!

Ow! It's his fault, not ours!

Liar!

Betrayer! Coward!

Flee, now!

I'm so sorry.

No, no!

Don't leave me.

Please.

I'll take that.

Thanks, kiddo.

I know where it is. be right back.

Thank you.

You couldn't find it, huh?

Would you toss me those?

Come on!

Stupid flashlight!

Sorry.

Are you okay?

No, I feel crazy.

I'm on the beach trying to make contact with...

I don't know what.

I just feel so...

alone.

You wouldn't understand.

Actually, I do.

I didn't think you'd miss me.

I missed you.

I've missed everything about you.

But this isn't the life you wanted.

The only thing I want...

is you.

Aunt Olga, oh hey, you're back.

Something's going on at the base.

Wait.

That's my spaceship.

- Glordon's in there. - Who?

My friend.

- You made a friend? - You made a friend?

- Nice. - Yeah, and he needs our help.

- You have clearance, right? - Not for this.

There's got to be some way to get in there.

Okay, okay, let me think.

Well,

if you don't need me anymore, I will begin my decomposition process.

Feel free to spread me over a plant as nutritious fertilizer.

- Wait! - Wait!

- Don't you know what it is? - Negative.

But Arrow's here. NASA's on the way.

Is it extraterrestrial?

What, like little green men?

Don't tell me you believe in that stuff.

Who's there?

It's a kid.

Hey! You shouldn't be here!

Can you help me?

I don't feel so good.

Help me!

Thank you for your service.

Glordon!

Is that your friend?

Elio? What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Why didn't you stay where I told you?

I'm sorry.

I actually turned on...

Glordon?

- Glordon! - Is he sick?

His disc is broken. It's too cold for him here.

Hey!

Put your hands up! Back away from this specimen!

I said back away!

Now!

You learned the Elioese?

Hey, what are you saying?

- Oh, you mean "glop". - Stop that!

Run it!

Oh my goch!

This is so...

Oh my goch!

Hold on, Glordon.

Olga, you gotta try!

But how?

Please!

Welcome, guest pilot.

Give me your jacket!

I'm so sorry, Glordon. This is all my fault.

Don't worry.

I'm gonna get you home.

Ship, get us to the Communiverse!

Hyperspeed unavailable. Path blocked.

What?

It's totally clear.

I said, Hyperspeed unavailable. Path blocked.

Come on.

- What? - Shhh

We're in a debris field.

- Let's just get out of here. - No!

These objects are faster than bullets.

But this is what you do.

From the ground.

I don't know where the debris is coming from. I need altitude.

If i just could contact someone on the ground.

The base is all locked up.

Maybe someone with a ham radio. I don't know.

Elio!

I bet that UFO is real. Oh, what if they're here for food

and the only thing they eat are hamsters?

Hello?

Hello, this is BXLOL.

Bryce.

This is Elio.

Solís? I'm sorry about what happened.

Caleb can be a real butt sometimes.

It's okay. I was a butt, too.

Look, you might not believe this, but we're an alien ship that just... That's

you? Oh, man, there's a lot of radio chatter about that.

Yeah, that's us.

we're trying to fly through debris, but we need to know where it's coming from.

How's your math? Physics. Are you good at physics?

- Whoa, uh... - Bryce!

I really need your help.

Please.

I don't know anything about debris, but I know someone who does.

He's a legend in my radio group. The boss.

The eyes in the sky.

- He's ... - Melmac reporting for duty.

I'll take it from here, BXLOL.

Elio, you better come back in one piece, okay?

- I'll tell you all about it. - Thank you, Melmac.

- I owe you a huge... - Nevermind

The master of ham always helps in a jam.

Ha! Let's get you through this debris field.

I'm pulling up the network now. Get ready.

We need a fixed target.

Orion's belt!

Perfect. Drive straight toward it and be ready to dodge.

Okay. Ship, can you project a grid?

Okay. Melmac, anything out there, hurry before we're out of range. Okay.

Okay.

Large rocket body, altitude 407 kilometers.

- Velocity 7.66 - Got it.

There.

Where? i don't see.

Just pull back, now!

Climb fast, now!

Roger!

We are going mad!

You're doing great.

Melmac, keep them coming!

Major, you're leaving the call window.

Just stay in the frequency! stay in the frequen...

Melmac?

Melmac!

Glordon?

Engaging hyperspeed.

Help us, please!

- Elio! - Glordon!

No!

Glordon!

Glordon, wake up.

No, i can't lose you too.

No!

Explain yourself.

I can't.

Just tell him.

He loves you.

Look how much he wanted you back.

I... I don't want to be a war machine.

You already know.

Yes.

I may not always understand you.

but I still love you.

It's a loose swaddle. I do not have your mother's touch.

You did great.

I have never uttered these words before,

but I am sorry.

Release them all.

Congratulations, Ambassador Solís.

But I lied to you.

And then you sacrificed yourself to save another.

You behaved as admirably as any real planetary leader.

And you did bring peace, eventually.

You have earned your place here.

I could stay?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

This place is amazing, but Earth is...

home.

I didn't give it a chance, but now...

I want to try.

With you.

You sure?

We're family.

This isn't goodbye.

It's just... not yet.

We understand.

You are unique, Elio of Earth.

And unique can sometimes feel like alone.

But you are not alone.

Okay.

Bye.

I love you.

Okay, bye, I love you.

Love you too

Let's go home.

It's an ancient human theme. You can find it in virtually every culture, in

religion, folklore, superstition, and now in science.

The search for life elsewhere is remarkable in our age, because this is

first time that we can actually do something besides speculation.

We can send spacecraft to the nearby planets.

use large radio telescopes to see if there is any message being sent to us lately.

And it touches to the deepest of human concerns.

Are we alone?

Glordon, your disc is muted.
