Uh, hi. Ozzi e?
Huh?

Don't get weird, but you're
about to hit a deer.

Beacon, New York.
Next stop.

This is Ozzie Graham
reporting on StarCrossed,

a support group for people

who believe they've been
abducted by aliens

and meet in a Catholic church
for some reason.

It has been 302 days since
I last saw my wife, Debbie.

And I'm starting to think
that she may never come back.

As many of you know,
we were taken

during a camping trip
10 years ago by the Reptilians,

and it seems to me that they've
come back to finish the job.

Why is he writing?

Chelsea,
we discussed this.

Ozzie's a journalist,
and we agreed

that he could write an article
about the group.

I didn't agree to that.

I clearly said, Chelsea,

that if this makes anyone
uncomfortable,

they don't have to
participate today.

Just to assure everybody,

your -- your real names will not
be used in this article.

Well, it's too late now.

No, it's not.
I don't --

-It's too late now.
-Okay.

Reptilians
are shapeshifters.

-They are psychopathic.
-Sure.

They live amongst us.

Almost every U.S. president,
past and current,

was a Reptilian.

-Nixon?
-Nixon.

-Mm, Reagan?
-Reagan.

-Lincoln?
-Lincoln.

One of the most lizardy
presidents out there.

-What?
-One of the biggest.

Wow.They've lived amongst us
for centuries.

There are actually a number
of theories on that.

It's a stone-cold fact, Gerry,
and you know it.

I'm just saying there are
different kinds of aliens

with different agendas.

Just to be clear,
were all of you abductees?

-Okay.
-Oh, my God.

-Not cool, bro.
-And then he says that.

We very much prefer the term
"experiencers" to "abductees."

It just gives us
a little more agency.
Oh.

Calling someone an abductee
is a lot like slut shaming.

Sorry. Did you all have
experiences with Reptilians?

No, mine were Greys.

Big heads, little bodies...

massive, wet, soulless eyes.

Mm-hmm.

Mine looked like
Ryan Gosling.

Or like a young
Paul Newman.

But albino
and 9 feet tall.

Figures. I get visited by lizard
men, and she got Ryan Gosling.

The Reptilians are the ones you
have to watch out for, Ozzie.

The others
are inconsequential.

Man: What?
This is a line
we've discussed a lot.

Take your head
out of your ass.

Margaret, check yourself.

I think I'm good. Thank you.

StarCrossed,
it's like a weirdo circus

of attention seekers
and paranoid delusionals.

Hey, man.

Hey.

Car's running
if you still want a lift.

Yeah.

Well, thanks
for giving me a lift.

My car is in the shop.

Oh, bummer.
What happened?

I hit a deer.

Feel free to reach out if you
need any technical consulting

with your journalistic
endeavors.

I'm also an advocate
for legalization.

Yeah, the two kind of complement
each other, don't they?

Yeah, they totally do!

Call any time!
You're never bothering me!

Oh, God, life is cruel.

Hey, man.

You're very special.

Hey, it's you.

Ah! Oh, no!

Aah!

Sorry. I haven't been
sleeping too well lately.

Uh, but I'm fine.

Jonathan Walsh
will see you now.

Uh, hey, Jonathan?

Dude! I'm reading your
alien-support-group thing.

I don't like it.

-You don't?
-No.

I freaking love it.

Oh, wow, that's...

that's an impressive desk.

Oh, thanks, man.

Yeah, I asked
for a smaller office,

but they built me this
instead.

Anyway, fantastic piece
of click bait.

I'm hungry for more.There's no more.

It's a silly article

about some harmless weirdos
who believe in aliens.

Yeah, but whydo these harmless
weirdos believe in aliens?

My last two articles
before this

were about prison reform
and gun control.

That's what I should
be covering.

Look, I know
you won a Pulitzer.

Never won a Pulitzer,
Jon.

Well, we're gonna get you one,
'cause you're amazing.

But here's the thing,
buddy.

It's your first week back
since the car accident --

I knew it!
I knew it!

No, look,
I am fine, all right?

I hit a deer with my car.
It's not a big deal.

People do that
all the time.

And I've seen worse things
on assignment.

When I covered
Occupy Wall Street,

I got tased three times.

Three times
by the same cop!

And you will be tased again,
I promise.

Just get me one more draft
of this.

Fine, one more draft,

and then I'm done
with the tinfoil-hat beat.

Dude,
a billion percent, yes!

I guess I could buy some pot.

Yeah, I'm having office hours
right now!

You should totally just swing
by, and we can talk it out.

Oh, sorry, got to go.

Hey, asshole,
you work here or what?

Welcome
to the nerve center.

What do you think?

It's...efficient.

I got my research library there,
my star charts

up overhead,

and the crown jewel.

Beacon has
the highest number

of reported
alien encounters

on the East Coast.

And it all starts here --
200 feet to your left.

1962,
an average young couple

return home
from a cocktail party.

For reasons unknown,

they decided to park
in the middle of this field...

Aliens got 'em?

You didn't know
I was gonna say that.

What were you gonna say?

Aliens got 'em.

I'm telling you, Ozzie,
there's dickery afoot in Beacon.

Alien dickery.

With my expertise
and your connections,

we can blow the lid
off this town.

We can be like Han and Luke
or Woodstein and Birdbaum.

Woodward and Bernstein?

Yeah, any of those guys.
Take your pick.

I'm Han.

I-I think this is where
my accident happened.

I keep seeing that sign
in my dreams.

You had your accident
in Beacon?

You hit a deer
and you're dreaming about it?

People hit deer all the time,
Gerry.

It -- It's not
that unusual.

You're right.
It's textbook.

Look, if I wanted to interview
the rest of your group,

do you think
you could set that up?

Yeah.
I can engineer that outcome.

Totes.

So, you're a farmer.
What's that like?

Oh, it's pretty run-of-the-mill,
I guess.

Grow some stuff,
kill some stuff.

Ahh,
this soil's so rich, man.

-That's 'cause it's pig shit.
-Ugh.

Working
for the Post Office,

you get to knock
on everybody's door.

And you see all kinds of things,
believe you me.

-Really?
-Oh, yeah.

-Like what?
-Naked people mostly.

This is off the record, right?Mm-hmm.

I'm a receptionist
at the funeral home.

That's nothing
to be ashamed of.

I'm a temp.
Part time.

I'm a part-time temp
at a funeral home.

But just till your band
makes it, right?

There's no band.

I'm the V.P.
of a major tech company.

But do not use the name
or you will be sued.

And what does your company do?

Have you ever heard of something
called the Internet?

We manufacture
the little plastic jacks

at the end of Ethernet cables
that get you on to the Internet.

So...

I'm a homemaker, okay?

That sounded defensive,
didn't it?

No, no.
A little.

Can you just put me down
as a neurologist?

I moved to this retirement
community after my husband died.

Yeah, and I hated it at first,
but...

Now you love it....the sex here is amazing.

Oh.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

After 60,
everybody just goes for it.

And what can you tell me
about your alien experience?

Oh, it was pretty late.
It was around...

...midnight. I just got back
from a terrible date,

which is just a normal date
for me.

And I thought I'd just...

...go to bed.

But I couldn't sleep that night
for some reason.

I just kept...

...waking up.

I saw this dark shape
in the corner of the room.

But this time
it wasn't my ex-husband, so...

I went down to the kitchen
for a late-night snack,

which I never do.

And I sensed this presence
behind me.

Hi, Margaret.

Don't get weird.

Hold on.
It said, "Don't get weird"?

Mm-hmm, "Don't get weird."
Yeah.

What happened next?

Well, uh, I didn't,
even though it wasweird, Ozzie.

He was just so...

...laid-back.
Reptilians are a calm species.

Quite often they are
in positions of authority.

Many of my former bosses
were Reptilians in human form.

They're telepathic, which makes
it difficult to get a raise.

Richard, focus!

So, when we woke up, we were in
some kind of examination room.

And it was all...

...white.

It was like a futuristic
bathroom in a ballpark.

And they started
poking at me.

These little
gray bastards.

Tall.
Nordic-looking.

Lizard people.

When they were done,
I will never...

...forget.
They looked me...

...right in the eyes.

You'll never believe
what they said.

You...

-...are...
-...special.

-You...
-...are...

...special.

Isn't that neat?

It's fascinating.

I know
this might be difficult,

so I usually like to start
these interviews

with just a few
basic questions --

Oh, I'm not here to talk
about my experience, Ozzie.

I'm much more interested
in hearing about yours.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I didn't have
an experience.

Sorry to blow up your spot man.
I told her about your accident.

What is this, like some kind
of an intervention?

-No.
-Kind of, yeah.

What would you say
if I told you

that car accidents
involving animals

are sometimes cover memories
used to mask alien encounters?

They cover them.

They cover them up.

All right, this has been
a fascinating journey

into alternate realities,

but I need to get back
to the real world.

We can't help you
unless you let us in, Ozzie.

No judgments, man,
just love.

Look, I hit a deer.
It happens all the time, okay?

Excuse me if I pin this one
on nature and not aliens.

Just let me ask you
one last thing.

What happened
after the accident?

-Did you call the police?
-Animal care and control?

You don't remember,
do you?

-Don't get weird.
-You're very special.

Aah!

Want my napkin?
You're sweating a lot, man.

No, I'm not.
It's hot in here!

We're all hot.

I have been working
with experiencers

for almost six months.

I know one
when I see one.

We do have
a pretty good eye, man.

Hey, Father Doug,
what's up?

I'm reading about
my church's sponsorship

of an alien cult
in a major news site.

And I'm just trying to process
that without s-screaming.

You promised you wouldn't use
actual names!

That was an old draft!

It wasn't supposed to
be published!

Do you know how much damage
control I have to do now?

We'll be lucky if we don't
get kicked out of our room.

I don't know how this happened,
Gina, I swear.

Good luck with those
non-existent nightmares!

They only get worse!

Come on, Gina!

Gina!

You published
my unfinished article

with everybody's names
and the name of the church!

Okay,
clearly mistakes were made.

How do you mistakenly
turn a human-interest piece

into some kind
of a hatchet job?

It's super bizarre,
and we're looking into it.

-Here.
-No!

Okay, fine.

Now, look, the best thing
you can do right now

is just break off contact.

No, I can't! I-I-I need
to make sure they're okay.

Hey, in all fairness, you did
call these people weirdos.

So? That's no reason
to ruin somebody's life!

Everybody's a weirdo.
I'm a weirdo. You're a weirdo.

-No, I'm not.
-Yes, you are.

You work in an airplane hangar
and you drive a desk.

Okay. You're upset and you're
saying things you don't mean.

Oh, no, I know exactly
what I'm saying.

And if this is how
you want to operate,

you can do it without me!

Okay.
No problem.

We'll circle back
and touch base later.

I need you to forward my calls.
I need to clean out my...

...desk.

You need to clean up
your what?

Aah!

No, no, no, no. No.

Is everything all right?

Yes, everything's fine.

Everyone in here, they all
had deer -- deer heads.

I'm gonna go.

Let's all thank
Father Doug

for smoothing things over
with Our Lady of Sorrows.

People here are actually
still pretty upset.

That's why I wanted to --

Big round of applause.
Father Doug.

-I wasn't finished.
-Father Doug.

-Good job, yep.
-All right!

-Whoo!
-Amazing.

You know what?

Just if anyone asks,
StarCrossed is a division of AA.

-Sounds good.
-Okay, I'm already there.

-Aye, aye, Captain.
-Excuse me.

I owe everyone in this room
a huge apology.

There's forgiveness here
for everyone, my friend...

We'll take it from here,
Father.

Ozzie:
Look, when I came here,

I thought you were all sad,
broken weirdos.

After spending the last week
getting to know you all,

I-I think I might
be broken, too.

We know, but there's only one
way to find out for sure.

Just focus on my finger
and start counting backwards.I have to warn you,

I'm not really susceptible --
Uh!

Wow, that was a record.

Where are you know, Ozzie?
What's happening?

I'm driving.
It's night.

I think I'm about
to hit the deer.

It's not real.
It's just a memory.

Oh, my God.
That is so creepy.

Huh?

I'm flying!

Whoo!

Hey, bud.

Aah!

Don't get weird, okay?

Uh!

Gina:
Where are you now, Ozzie?

Ozzie: I'm not sure.

Everything's blurry.

Are you sure he's out?

He's totally out.
Calm down.

Wait, I hear voices.

I'm just saying he doesn't
look like he's out.

His head just moved.

Dude, it's the ship.
The ship is rocking right now.

Okay, all I'm saying is,
we've been here before.

I know
my freaking job, Jeff!

Guys, guys.

Can we not fight?
We're almost there, okay?

Let's just be cool
and get this done.

Great, we're getting
cool lessons from Don.

Hey, Don,
I've got an idea.

Okay, forget it.
Forget I said anything.

Why don't you
get off our asses

and go make us
a couple sandwiches?

Okay,
he's looking right at me.

Shit, hang on.
Shit.

"I know my freaking job, Jeff."Oh, eat a dick.

It's not like he's gonna
remember any of this.

We're just gonna wipe his mind,
tell him he's special,

and send him on his way
like all the others.

We'll rule them all soon
anyway.

Well, what does that mean,
special like all the others?

You hit the trifecta,
buddy.

He made contact
with a Reptilian, a Grey,

and a White
at the same time.

That's like having dinner
with a unicorn.

Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.

-You all right?
-You okay, Ozzie?

I just need some air.

-Take 'er easy there.
-Good, just need air.

Okay, guys, rule us all?

That seems to be
the most pressing thought here.

Hi.

How are you doing,
buddy?

I'm either losing my mind
or I was abducted by aliens.

So, I'm -- I'm doing
pretty great, Gerry.

If it makes you
feel any better,

you were totally amazing
back there.

Why would that make me
feel any better?

Some people would give
their right arm

for an experience
like that.

Those people are out
of their goddamn minds.

Well, I'm one of 'em.

You know why I didn't tell you
about my experience?

'Cause I never had one.

I've been trying to make contact
for years.

I even got this crappy job
next to a famous abduction site.

But they still
don't want me.

They just want people like you
who don't even believe in them.

I'll get out of your hair.

Wait. Gerry.

Wait.

You're right.

There is dickery afoot
in Beacon, and...

maybe it's aliens.

It's totally aliens.

Or maybe
it's something else,

like, I don't know, angry
teenagers or the government.

Maybe it's like
a Tuskegee experiment thing.

All I know
is something happened to me

and something happened
to those people in there,

and I need to find out
what it is.

A-And I can't
do that alone.

I need your help.
So, you in?

Can I be Han?

-Fine.
-I'm in.

Oh, all right, Bernbaum.

You are very special.

Thanks, buddy.
You, too.

I'm not really used to this,
but I had a pretty good week.

I quit my job.

Well, I'm just really worried
about you, bud.

Nancy said you stormed
out of here the other day

because everyone, and I quote,
"Had deer heads."

But I found a new one
here in Beacon.

You've worked for
The Wall Street Journal,

New York Times,
and Glint Enterprises,

and you want to work here?

I'm interested
in all things Beacon.

So it looks like I'll be
sticking around for a while.

My name is Ozzie Graham,
and I may be --

may be possibly
an experiencer.

Is -- We don't stand?

-Mnh-mnh.
-No.

We don't say last names,
either.

Oh, really?

Yeah, get me the financials
on the Beacon Daily Gazette.

They're doing some interesting
stuff on the local level.

It might be nice to be involved.

Just do it, Edward.
Don't get weird.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah, it just went down
the wrong tube.

Eyes.

Oh, thanks.

Better?

Got a sample.

Great.

-Grab a medal, dude.
-A medal?

Congratulations
for doing your job.

-I'm such a mess today.
-Oh, great,
Don's gonna cry, again.

-Yeah, great, okay.
-I'm not crying.

-You know what?
-I'm not even crying yet.

You guys do this.
I go back to the...

Don, we were
just kidding, man.

We're done.
Come back here.

Would you hug him,
for God sakes?

It's worse
than having a puppy.

-It's is, yeah.
-God!
