Are you cold?

Mm-hmm. Yes, it's cold today.

But inside it's going to be warm.

I promise.

What are they reading today?

Hey. Hello. How are you?

Hey, mommy's going to the bathroom, okay?

Thank you. Sorry.

Amanda?

Amanda?

Amanda?

Baby?

Baby?

Where... Amanda!

Baby?

Amanda!

Amanda!

Oh, where are you?

Where are you?

Baby!

Ba... babe!

Where are you?!

Where is everybody?

Amanda!

...six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six...

Okay.

- Wait, wait, wait. - What? What?

-All right? You got it? -Okay.

Okay. -Yeah.

Oh.

I am strong, yeah?

-I am strong. -Yes, you are.

-Baby, you are. -You're being sarcastic.

Damn you.

- -Damn you.

-See? That. - What?

What? -That right there.

What? -That smile.

It's gonna be the end of me.

Hey, you're ignoring the question.

-What? Why you? -Yes.

Because you're everything I'm not.

Because of how you seem to make everything better.

Because ever since I saw you, I...

I just knew. I knew...

You were the last thing I wanted to see at night...

And the first thing I wanted to wake up to

for the rest of my life.

-My turn. - No.

Yeah.

You see, I firmly believe that in life,

we develop these connections,

and the best way to spend that lifetime...

Is enjoying those connections.

So, for all these reasons, I...

I never want to miss a connection with you.

Hey.

You sure your head's in the right spot?

What kind of question is that?

It's a practical one, man.

Well, would I be doing this if it wasn't?

I mean, it's been two years,

and things haven't gotten better.

How is she?

She's trying, Thomas.

She's trying.

You seem fine.

Yeah, one day at a time, you know?

Josh...

It's not your fault, man.

Well, it's not hers either. So, just drop it.

I'm just saying that I get it.

All right, your child was abducted.

That's not your fault, nor is it hers, man.

We're this close, and you're willing to flush

seven years of research down the fucking drain on this?

She was my goddamn daughter.

Thomas, she was my kid.

And this is our research, Josh.

- Can't you see that?

Hey, honey.

Look, I'm really sorry about what happened.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I really am.

We are on the verge of something huge here.

You can be a real prick sometimes. You know that, right?

Fucking shit.

Whoa.

Window malfunction.

Please, reset.

Well, that just sucks.

How does this...

- What... - Window malfunction.

Please, reset.

What happened?

Wow.

Wow.

I guess we can't argue with that, can we?

Joshua. -Yeah?

The other trucks are here.

Where do you want the rest of your shit?

Uh, just tell them to leave everything

in the basement, please.

Except for that box.

Could you leave that on the table?

Hey, Isabel. You liking it?

Okay.

Where do you want this?

I'll take it. -What are you doing?

No. No, no.

- No. No. - Oh, I'm sorry.

No, I got it.

Hey, what are you doing?

Are you trying to hide from me?

- No. - Are you trying to hide

from daddy?

Are you trying to hide from daddy?

I'm gonna get you. Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Wait up for me! Wait up for me!

Whoa! Hey!

Are you okay, babe?

- Help me. Help me. - Are you okay?

So, who do you love most?

-Mommy. - What?

Did you just say, "mommy"?

How is this possible? Who do you...

How much do you love daddy?

-Little. -A little?

And mommy?

-A lot. -A lot?

Come on. This isn't fair.

So, guess what...

I'm stealing bunny.

- No. - Yeah.

No, you...

She's beautiful.

She was.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.

Hey, why don't you just wait in the car for me?

No, no, no. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. You don't have to leave.

I mean...

She is beautiful.

You know what, guys? I can handle it from here,

so, you should, yeah,

- head back into town. Yeah. - You sure?

Really appreciate your help.

-Thank you so much. -Yeah, of course.

Thank you. -Bye.

Could I talk to you for a sec?

Yeah, sure.

What?

Look, you know i didn't mean any harm

by what I said earlier, man.

I know. I know, but you have to be careful.

You have to watch what you say sometimes, Thomas.

I... I just don't want you to throw it all away.

We're both here right now, okay?

Right?

I don't want you to let the guilt consume you.

Look, I'm just saying--

- my fucking Jesus Christ. - I trust you.

Thomas, please.

-I trust you-- -come on, Thomas.

I appreciate the pep talk, but, not now.

Promise me, man.

I promise. Okay?

- There you go. - Yeah.

I mean, it's also pretty cool

that marconi's paying for us to live here.

It's a huge plus.

Exactly. Well, that was all my doing.

So, you buy me a case of beer, we'll call it even.

We good? Come on. -I...

Bring it in, sunshine.

I hate you.

Am I interrupting?

No, not at all, sweetheart.

I'm gonna head into town.

Okay. -Give me or Jane a call

if you guys need anything, all right?

Yeah.

I'll be back up midweek. We can go over the new test.

Sounds good.

Oh, check this out.

What's this?

It's a new security system.

One, two, six, four. That's the code.

System active.

You don't want to let anything in, right?

Thank you, Thomas. - Cool. Yeah.

-I'm outta here. -All right.

- Josh... - Yeah?

One, two, six, four.

Six, four, three, nine.

- Write it down, dude. - Eight, nine...

It's super hard to get open once it's locked, all right?

Just go home. Leave me alone.

- I know you, though. - Disappear.

All right, love you, buddy.

- You, too. Bye. - See ya.

You know I love you, right?

Yes.

I know.

How'd you sleep?

Babe.

Hey.

-Hey. -Hi.

How'd you sleep?

Fine. Yeah?

Yeah, fine.

Good.

Good. That's good.

I made breakfast.

I know. I saw that.

Yeah, it's there on the stove.

- Help yourself. - Thank you.

I didn't want to wake you.

What's that?

That I didn't want to wake you.

I thought you needed the sleep.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Thank you.

Much appreciated.

Do you like it here?

We've... we've been here just one night, Josh.

Yeah.

But it's... it's nice, yes.

Um...

Listen. I have to go into town today.

Forgot one of the radios for the report, so...

You're gonna be by yourself for a bit.

You gonna be okay?

I'll be fine.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Can I get you anything?

Josh!

Yeah?

Uh, you know, I'll go with you.

Really?

Yes. Be good to get out.

Okay. Go get dressed.

Okay.

We can go to that coffee place.

We can find a coffee place.

We can do that.

What's that, babe?

Just have to figure out how to do this.

Thomas told me...

Babe?

Hey.

Here.

Thanks.

You know what? I'm fine.

Go into town, yeah?

It was just a panic attack.

It didn't look like a panic attack, babe.

But it was, okay?

Seriously, Josh, I'm fine.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll be back in a few hours, all right?

You sure you don't want anything?

I'm fine.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

Just call me on the land line

if you need anything.

...three, six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

...six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

Josh?

Babe?

I'm here!

Hey.

Hey. I'm down here!

Baby?

Who is out there?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, I'm here!

Fuck. Hey.

Josh! Who is there?! Fuck!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Who is there?!

Fuck. Fuck.

What were you doing down there?

What do you mean?

Somebody locked me down there.

Isabel, we're alone. There's no one around.

Wait. Did you lock me down there?

Did I lock you down there?

Yeah, yeah, i locked you down there.

Well, I mean, someone did.

Why the fuck would i lock you down in a crawl space?

As you say, nobody's here.

Yeah, there's no one around.

What are you thinking?

I don't know. I got home. I'm tired,

and you're down there crying and screaming,

and I pull you out. Did you take your...

Did you take your pills today?

Fuck you.

I'm sorry. I...

It's fine.

No, it's not. It's not.

Just... it's not the same here, you know?

I know.

I know.

It's a chance for us to start over.

We can heal together. We can grow. We can...

Josh, I'm not a little kid.

I know you're afraid i will do it again.

No.

It's not something

you can just sweep under the rug.

I tried to kill myself.

I tried to kill myself.

Stop.

Josh, say...

"Isabel tried to kill herself."

Stop. You're being ridiculous. I--

you cannot pretend it didn't happen, okay?

I make our family and friends uncomfortable.

- What? No. - I get that.

- No, that's not it. - Yeah. But for you--

or maybe...

It's the fact that...

I lost our daughter.

That's the... Josh.

Or maybe you can't face the facts,

and that's why you feel it's necessary

to keep me away in this fucking house.

Look at me.

Josh...

Say it!

Fuck.

Josh?

Hey, babe. Isabel.

- Hmm? - Hey, wake up.

Come downstairs to the lab.

We found something. -What?

Signal strength now operating at 95%.

Hey. Hey.

Isabel, come on!

Hurry up.

I.D. Confirmed.

Welcome, Isabel.

- What is it? - We got it.

You got what?

We got it.

You got what?

We got the signal.

Wait. The...

That signal?

Yeah, like from another world.

Signal strength now operating at 100%.

Okay, so, so, what we did, we, um...

We cross-referenced every shortwave station

across the planet. You know what

they all had in common?

The same signal.

They've been transmitting from earth

since as far back as the records can take us.

And each signal, um, is hidden

within our own communication.

So, we took the data of every single station

across the planet. So, that just gave us

a clear picture of where it was coming from.

It's almost like putting the puzzle together.

Some of the signals are stronger than others,

but when they're all combined,

it gives us the coordinates to ngc-6809.

Ngc-6809 is the same galactic cluster

that SETI received a signal from back in '77.

It's been under our noses the whole time.

Babe, the whole fucking time.

Nine years.

Nine years, buddy, and it all comes down to this.

Tens of thousands of light-years away.

5% loss in signal strength.

Now operating at 95%.

Hey.

-Hi. -You found it.

It's so lovely.

-You like it? -You shouldn't have.

I wanted to. Really did.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

I'm so proud of you.

What? What?

Oh.

I'd like to thank everybody

for driving all the way out here tonight

to celebrate something that is so dear to us.

Josh and I have been working for this company

for over nine years now.

I propose a toast.

To Josh, for his perseverance

and never giving up,

so that we can scientifically prove

the shortwave signal we found

is indeed not of this earth.

And to his lovely wife Isabel,

for letting us borrow him long enough to get here.

And also to my smoking-hot wife...

For putting up with my shit the past nine years

and not having me committed.

I love you, babe.

Here's to the future.

You know, really, really great work, Josh.

I can't begin to express

how amazed I am with the two of you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it. I'm really excited.

Yeah.

You wanted to talk to me about something?

Yeah. Uh...

There is something that I have to tell you.

Go ahead. Shoot.

It's an interesting painting, huh?

Yes, it is.

What do you think it means?

Uh, I have no idea.

Okay. So, what if something from deep space

was trying to communicate with someone on earth?

What if we haven't been looking in the right place?

I mean, we've been so obsessed with looking outwards,

when all we had to do was just look

into our own backyards to find these answers.

Listen, I'm not 100% sure that I'm following you here.

Let me put it this way.

Have you ever skipped a rock over a pond?

Sure. Of course.

Yeah, of course. So, what happens?

Uh...

Sometimes they make it across,

and sometimes they sink.

But they do make it across...

If it hits the right angle and you throw it hard enough.

Correct? -Uh, yeah.

Each time the rock hits the surface...

It creates a ripple,

and that ripple travels onwards,

and eventually it dissipates on the shore.

However, since a sphere has no edges,

there's nothing stopping this ripple

from traveling indefinitely.

Yeah, okay, so think about the fish...

Uh-huh. -At the bottom of the pond.

Okay.

They can feel the vibrations...

I'm sure they can, yeah.

Yeah. So, eventually they'll get curious,

and they'll swim up to the surface

to investigate what's going on.

Sometimes it could be food.

Perhaps it's rain, and sometimes it could be nothing,

but one way or another...

They're gonna get an answer.

We're the fish, Robert.

I.D. Confirmed. Welcome, Isabel.

I followed the vibrations up, and I found something else.

You found another signal.

I found the signal. It's a hidden signal. It's weak,

but it uses our own communication traffic,

and it's projected somewhere into the universe,

and something is using our own language

as a tool to send a message back into space.

I don't... back home or, i don't know.

So, the signal caused a ripple effect

as it hit the ionosphere,

and parts of the signal bounced back onto earth.

I don't know. I just, I...

I feel like...

I shouldn't have found this signal.

What makes you think that?

Well, because when I decoded the binary inside the signal...

There was a message attached.

What did it say?

It was an sos...

Along with a set of coordinates.

And where did those coordinates lead?

Here...

This house.

Signal strength operating at 85%.

You do not share this with anyone else.

It stays between me and you.

You got that?

Not your wife and sure as hell not Thomas.

At least not until we figure out what we're dealing with.

...six, nine...

There's something here, isn't there?

There's something here?

First thing Monday morning,

I want you to come to my office.

All right, bring all your data.

We'll sit down and go through it together.

Yeah. Sure.

...nine. Over.

Three, four, three...

Mommy!

Amanda.

We need to finish this conversation,

but I have had too many drinks.

Do you mind showing me to your nearest restroom?

Of course not. It's the first door

to the left, and...

Perfect. I'll be back.

Sure.

Isabel!

- Hey...

How's your head?

What happened?

You don't remember--

--don't move.

- You attacked Robert. - What?

I did what?

-You stabbed Robert. -Hey.

I had to hit you in the head to stop the whole thing.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Baby, you attacked Robert.

You charged him, and you stabbed him

with a knife.

You tried to do it over and over again,

but Thomas had to stop you.

You honestly don't remember this?

Is he okay?

Yeah. Yeah, i guess, babe,

but now we have to... We have to worry about you.

So first thing in the morning, we're gonna drive into town,

and we're gonna see your doctors.

I'll give you guys some privacy.

I'm gonna clean up. Come on, babe.

Mommy!

We have to go.

No. We have to stay.

Come on, Isabel.

You have five minutes.

I'll be waiting in the car. Just get ready.

I saw her.

I saw our daughter.

What did you just say?

I know. I know it sounds absolutely crazy,

but I remember now.

I don't know what I did to Robert,

but I went somewhere.

What are you talking about?

Uh...

-The radios. -What about it?

Uh, at the party, i was in the bedroom,

I was sitting on the bed,

and I start hearing, and...

-And then-- -then what?

And then i went somewhere...

And I saw her.

I saw our baby.

Go get ready.

Go get dressed. We're gonna be late.

Okay? Just go.

You don't believe me?

What am i supposed to say?

I want you to say you believe me.

Well, how am I supposed to believe that you saw...

Aman... how?

- Come on. - Josh...

You know there is something wrong in this house.

So...

-Play it again. -What?

The shortwave.

I'm not leaving this house till you play it.

Josh...

You're sure you wanna do this?

Yes.

Okay.

Wait.

Okay.

...three, six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

Signal strength now operating at 100%.

Isabel Michaels, i like the sound of that.

- Yeah? - Yes.

Are you suggesting something, Ms. layluck?

No.

- No? - No.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

Sounds like you are.

No, I promise.

So, this is the world, right? Okay.

What the frequencies do

is that they bounce back from the ionosphere,

back and forth, back and forth.

No, they can't, right?

But they travel around the world, you know?

-Mm-hmm. -They travel around the world,

and they are generated from earth,

and then they bounce back from there. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Bouncing...

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, babe, babe, babe, babe.

It's me. It's me. It's me. It's me.

Hey, hey, hey, it's me.

It's me.

-Breathe. -Josh.

Breathe. Breathe.

I saw us.

And I saw... as I...

-Shh. -It happened again...

Just like-- like last night.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

I saw the first time we met. I...

I don't know how to explain it, Josh.

It's like I'm reliving all over again.

You have to believe me.

You have to believe me.

Say you believe me.

Say you believe me.

Hey.

I believe you.

-Okay. -I believe you.

-I believe you. -Okay.

If what you're saying is true...

Which it is.

Which it is.

Then we're looking at some sort

of frontal-lobe data reconciliation.

What does that mean?

Basically, it means that something in the signals

is triggering your subconscious

to bring up, uh, lost or repressed memories,

stuff you might have overlooked in the past.

Think about it this way.

You see this entire room right now, correct?

Yeah.

But do you really see it?

What do you mean?

I mean you only see what you want to.

You're focused on me at the moment.

What about Josh?

What about all the plants outside?

Your brain is only allowing you to see 10%

of the whole picture,

because you're focused on me.

However, your brain is still recording

everything around you.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that I think whatever is out there

sending these signals

has resonated with you somehow.

It's formed a connection.

It's allowing you to go back and see things

that may have been overlooked.

Sort of like a third-person observation.

But why?

I wish I knew.

Now, how long did you say she was unconscious for?

I don't know, couple seconds tops.

Isabel, how long were you in that state?

Three or four minutes.

I don't know.

You know what? We should try a different signal.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't think it's a good idea.

Do you think it's safe?

-Yeah. -You sure?

I promise.

Where's she gonna go?

We're both right here watching her.

I'm curious whether a different signal...

Will trigger a different part of her subconscious.

Baby, i-I'm going to be okay.

I mean, what if I...

Could see who took Amanda?

Maybe it's all about that, you know?

Something out there is trying to help us,

is pointing us to the right direction.

We... we could get her back.

Um, Josh, it's fine.

I'm going to be okay.

Okay. Okay.

Let's do it.

...three, six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

I loved you.

Why didn't you save me?

Why doesn't it work with us?

I don't know. It's gotta be some sort of cortex trigger.

Something is setting off memories

- through the signal. - Is that even possible?

What?

Well, what if it's not triggering memories?

What if it's triggering something else?

Well, what are you saying?

What if it's not triggering memories?

What if it's hallucinations?

What if she's making it all up?

Maybe this is just real to her.

I don't know. We shouldn't go on with this. It's too risky.

What if she has a stroke

or something worse?

We have to consider the repercussions

- before we go on, tom. - Then we need to run

some tests on this in a controlled environment.

She is not your lab rat, tom.

I'm not saying that she is, Josh.

You need to fucking-- we need to see

why these signals are resonating with her and where.

Okay. Can we just keep it quiet until we get answers?

Yeah, that's fine.

I'm serious. Okay?

Okay.

...six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

Three, four, three, six, nine. Over.

Mommy.

Amanda?

No.

Mommy, where are they taking me?

Babe?

Isabel?

Babe?

Isabel?

Babe?

Hey. Hey.

Isabel.

Hey.

Isabel, can you hear me? Hey.

Uh, babe!

Access granted. Thank you, Josh.

Babe. Babe.

What happened?

Hey.

Okay, babe, babe...

Babe, just talk to me. What happened?

Are you okay?

Why do you have blood? What, just talk to me.

Say something. Say anything.

You have to help me.

Yeah, I will.

Just give me your hand. Come on.

Come out from under the table.

I'll help you. Give me your hand.

You have to lock the door.

Lock the door.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay, okay.

Full systems lockdown...

- Okay... - ...Operational.

They're locked. You're safe.

Babe, you're safe.

Nothing's gonna hurt you. Just give me your hand.

They're here.

They'll... Go. Go.

No, no. I can't help you.

No. No, no, no.

I can't help you.

Please. Oh, no.

-Babe. -I can't move.

No, no, no.

--What's going on?

Come on. Babe, I can't--

I can't move. -Babe.

- Babe!

Oh, my god.

Don't let me...

No, no, no, no.

No. No, no, no.

No. No, no, please.

Please.

Baby.

No!

No. No. No.

Baby?

You see, I firmly believe that in life,

we develop these connections,

and the best way to spend that lifetime...

Is enjoying those connections.

So, for all these reasons, I...

I never want to miss a connection with you.

No, no, no.

Somewhere along the way, make the world a better place.

Hello!

Is anyone home?

Thomas asked me to leave this.

If you'd like to make a call,

please hang up, and try your call again.

If you need help, hang up, and then dial your operator.

Josh? Hello.

Isabel?

Jane?

Is anyone here?

You were wrong.

--Where the hell's my wife?

Put your fucking hands up!

It was wrong the whole time.

What?

The signal...

--It's coming from here...

From this house.

It's inside of me.

Thomas, you... You let them inside of me.

Shit.

Where the hell is Jane?

Isabel!

Isabel!

I.D. Confirmed.

Welcome, Thomas.

Isabel.

What the fuck are you doing?

Put it down.

Kick it to me.

Okay, okay.

Just let her go. Take me.

Please just let her go.

She has nothing to do with this.

You knew they would prey off of me

because I want my daughter back.

-No. -You're lying!

No, no, wait! Stop, stop, stop!

Okay, okay.

All right. All right.

We knew.

Marconi knew.

We'd never seen someone who was searching

for something so desperately.

Who are they?

We don't know. Stay there.

The question was how to bring them

to our plane of existence.

They can only exist here for moments at a time.

We'd never seen anything like this before.

It was off the fucking map.

Before?

How many were there?

Two.

We used that guilt about your daughter against you.

That fear, that heightened sense of awareness,

that's what makes you susceptible to them.

We figured that under the circumstance,

that you would let them in

if you knew you had a chance to see her again.

Shut up!

I can help you.

We can take you in.

We can remove it from you.

These are people's lives.

You killed Josh.

And now, you're killing me.

You can't let it out of this house, Isabel.

I'm leaving this house, Thomas.

You would have done it already if you knew

it was possible.

I know, 'cause I put it there.

You put what where?

I put a microchip in the back of your neck.

It's like a giant electric fence.

You honestly think it's a coincidence

that this house is in the middle of nowhere?

It's containment.

Thomas, help me!

Shut up!

No. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I never meant for any of this to happen.

Please.

It's too late.

Oh, fuck.

--Please let me help you.

You have to fucking believe me.

They're already here.

Please don't make me.

Jane!

Jane, I'm so sorry.

No. No. No.

Ah, you fucking bitch.

Ah, for Christ's...

Window malfunction.

- Fuck! - Please, reset.

Open the goddamn window!

- Please, I'm begging you.

I'll do anything.

Okay. Please. I'll take you to your daughter.

What did you say?

Your daughter. Please.

I'm sorry. I'll take you there. She's fine.

- Why... - Listen.

You have my daughter? Why...

Listen, Isabel, you have to come

with me right now before they come back.

I can help you.

Where is she?!

It's okay.

She's at a research facility in the city.

Just come with me. We can help you.

You can be with her again.

No.

I don't want that.

What do you want?

I don't want that.

What the fuck do you want?!

We want...

To be left...

Alone!

Just to give hope to the future generations,

you know?

It's... yeah. I told you.

It's so stupid, I know. I know. It's just it...

No. No, no, no. It's not stupid at all.

I do, too.

I... I want to answer all the questions

that everyone else is asking and...

Somewhere along the way, make the world a better place.

If I can pull it off, which is technically impo...

Anyways, a toast.

Okay. A toast.

To changing the world.

To changing the world.
