DAVE: Testing, testing.

One, two, three.

Since I have been temporarily cut off

from the outside world...

friends and blog readers can get this message out there for me.

As you all know...

I believe that Hurricane Eve was just a smoke screen

to distract us from a larger, far more ominous threat.

[TAPE RECORDER CLICKS]

[REWINDING]

A larger, far more deadly threat.

But four days ago

I found what I believe to be the first

alien/human remains combo.

Full skeleton... penetrated by 12 prods.

Twenty-four hours later...

an Air Force lieutenant washed up onshore

with 12 matching holes in his body.

The holes looked eerily similar

to the same ones I had on my very legs.

Yes, that's right, folks, yours truly...

had a close encounter of the painful kind.

Somebody, most likely the military,

does not want a word of this to get out.

The skeleton has been stolen.

The lieutenant has gone missing,

and they're saying he's dead.

And the only evidence remaining

is a ring that I found

in the trunk of my car.

A ring which I believe came from the skeleton.

If I can prove that...

I can establish the ongoing presence

of extraterrestrials... in our waters.

LARKIN: Dave!

[CLICK] Yeah!

Yeah.

Coming for breakfast?

Yeah, I'm on my way.

All right.

One last note...

The only other person who knows about all this stuff

is my brother-in-law, Russell.

And he thinks I'm nuts.

I don't understand. Casey can't clear the road

because the equipment's broke?

WOMAN 1 [ON RADIO]: They don't have it.

LARKIN: The Air Force took his body. They say he's dead.

They told his wife he was overseas.

WOMAN 2 [ON RADIO]: You're not hearing me.

Val, every reporter is covering a relief center, okay?

This is a real story.

VALERIE: I need you in the center by 8:30. Goodbye.

[SIGHS] What is wrong with her?

Hm. Know what?

She just doesn't love you like I do.

Okay, newlyweds, simmer down.

These for me? RUSSELL: No.

Just share them.

I'm grumpy and I'm pregnant,

and I have to go to the relief center.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

We need to talk. WOMAN 1: Russell.

The roof just collapsed at Lone Pine.

Nobody's hurt, but they need help.

All right, let 'em know I'm on my way.

Hey, honey, I gotta go.

You seen Jesse's headphones?

He wanted me to drop them off at his mom's.

LARKIN: Yeah, they're on the counter by the breadbox.

DAVE: Can you meet me at the jewelers later?

What's at the jewelers?

Uh, I want to see if I can find out about the ring.

It's a wedding ring, Dave.

Yeah, I know it's a wedding ring, but...

maybe the inscription can tell us something.

"Two become one."

Maybe the jeweler will recognize it.

Oh, how do you know he made it? I don't.

It's just... It's all we have left.

No, it's not.

I'm having tests run on the tissue fragment Mariel gave me.

If this thing is alien, I'll know by this afternoon.

Russell.

Your own daughter said she saw millions of lights landing

in the water during the hurricane. So?

So, what else could it be?

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TAP SQUEAKS, WATER RUNNING]

Hey, the water's back on.

What a nice surprise.

[MAN ON RADIO TALKS INDISTINCTLY]

[SQUEAKS]

[♪♪♪]

Mommy, look at this.

Mommy, look at my shoe.

Mommy?

Mommy, you're not listening.

Daddy Tom taught me how to tie my shoe.

Mommy?

UNDERLAY: That's really good, honey. That's really good.

Probably shouldn't waste all that water, Mare.

[TURNS OFF WATER]

Definitely don't want to lose another one of these.

Kira and Jesse,

they still need a ride to town?

No. They decided to walk.

[DOORBELL RINGING]

ROSE: I'll get it.

Daddy!

Hey. How you doing, kiddo?

You wanna come in and have breakfast?

Morning, Russ. RUSSELL: Hey, Tom.

These are Jesse's headphones he asked for.

Oh. Look, Dad. Daddy Tom taught me

how to tie my shoes.

Wow. Look at that.

She's a natural.

Yeah, that's great, sweetheart.

Hey, Russell.

Is everything all right?

Just dropping Jesse's headphones off. That's all.

ROSE: He's not here. You can wait for him.

Sweetie, I gotta get back to work.

If you could stay, that would really help us out.

Jesse should be back any minute.

I'm late for work, and I know Tom would love to get in.

Yeah, Daddy. Please?

Uh, yeah.

If you could hang around, that would be really great.

Great. Okay. I gotta go.

Bye, honey. Bye. I'll call you.

Okay. Bye, Rosie.

I'll call you at lunch, okay?

Thanks.

Uh.

Thank you. Bye. Mm.

[MAKES FUNNY NOISE] [LAUGHS]

I'll see you.

So, Daddy...

wanna play in my room?

[SIGHS]

[HONKING, MEN CHATTERING]

JESSE: Your dad's the sheriff. Doesn't he get free gas?

KIRA: Not for your mom's car.

Boy...

look at all these people who are still lost.

JESSE: Yeah. Rick Jameson's missing.

He was in my gym class.

He was terrible at volleyball.

Well, they found my mom.

Maybe they could find him.

[♪♪♪]

[DAVE GRUNTING]

[KEYS JINGLING]

[SIREN BLARING]

MAN: Come on. Help us out here.

[DAVE GRUNTS]

[MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

Hello?

Hello. Anybody here?

Hello?

Anybody in the back there?

[GRUNTS]

MAN: What do you want?

What? Oh.

Oh. Uh...

You a looter? No, no.

I'll shoot you if you are.

No, I'm not a looter.

I'm a customer.

I'm not open.

Uh...

Well, I was just wondering if maybe you could

take a look at something... [COCKS]

Okay. All right. Okay, okay, okay.

Uh, you know, you might want to put that generator

out on the street.

Why?

Oh, because, um... you know,

if you leave it in here, the carbon monoxide will kill you.

Just a tip.

How'd you know about this shortcut?

Derek Culie showed me.

Oh. Him.

Yeah, I know. He's kind of a jerk.

But he has an awesome car.

That's always been my barometer for a friendship.

Whoa.

Look at that.

[♪♪♪]

Man, that got tossed.

Do you think anyone's inside?

If they are...

it's not looking good.

What are you doing?

Going in the water.

Naked?

I'm not naked. [LAUGHS]

Afraid of the water? Kira.

[♪♪♪]

JESSE: Oh.

You okay? Yeah.

[GIGGLES] Yeah.

Looks like they got out okay.

Yup.

KIRA: Cool. Everything's upside down.

[CREAKING]

What do you think their deal is?

JESSE: I'm guessing the husband...

the new young wife,

daughter from the first marriage

and the son from the second.

You're good at that.

I've played the home game.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, do you wanna see what's in their refrigerator?

You can tell everything about somebody by their fridge.

[THUDDING]

These people were condiment fiends.

Kira.

You gotta see this.

Here's some steak sauce...

Kira.

Jesse!

[♪♪♪]

RUSSELL: Wow, this is a, uh, very nice room, Rose.

Yeah.

At your house the hurricane got everything wet.

But here nothing happened at all.

KIRA: Daddy!

Dad! Daddy!

Daddy!

Kira.

Your dad's not here. What is it?

Kira? What's wrong?

Stay in the car.

I wanna help Jesse.

No. Stay in the car, Rose.

[♪♪♪]

[GASPS] Jesse!

Jesse! Jesse!

Jesse!

What's happening? I don't know.

[GASPS]

Jesse!

I wanna go see. Rose!

Rose! Wait!

Daddy! Rose, come back!

Rose, wait! Daddy!

Rose, no!

ROSE: Let me go! KIRA: Come on.

[GASPS]

Jesse!

Jesse!

[GASPS]

Is he okay?

What's wrong with Jesse?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Daddy?

Dr. Underlay? I'm looking for Dr. Underlay.

This is her son.

[CHATTERING]

Mariel? Mariel!

He's Dr. Underlay's. Multiple lacs.

He's my son. Scalp, legs. He's bleeding heavily!

RUSSELL: I need to find his mother. Where's his mother?

Jesse.

Oh, my God.

Jesse?

[DAVE GRUNTING]

I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

I've had a lot of looters in here. I know.

Have to be careful, you know. Sure. Yeah.

After Andrew, they tied up my wife.

Emptied the vaults.

Left her for 18 hours.

Oh, my God. That's awful.

I didn't do this engraving.

Oh. It's amateur work.

But whoever owned the ring had it fitted.

There's a metal insert in here.

Not the finest either.

And there's a date underneath.

There is?

"Two, 14... 86."

BOTH: Valentine's Day.

Not very original.

So you think that was their wedding date?

Well, it is a wedding ring.

What about this other inscription, "Two become one"?

Think that has any special significance?

No. We see that a lot.

MARIEL: Start him on crystalloid and a unit of packed cells,

then four units of AB-negative blood and a dose of Unasyn.

Not sure we've got much AB-neg left.

Hurricane's left the bank dry.

Get me what you can. Okay.

Is he gonna be all right?

Lost a lot of blood. What happened?

Well, he and Kira found a mobile home

in the water near your house.

In the water?

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

Are any of his wounds like the lieutenant's I brought in?

That Air Force guy? Paxton?

No.

Why?

They're glass cuts, Russell. All over his back and legs.

What happened?

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Is this story really necessary?

Do the people of South Florida really need to know

that 20,000 new diapers just rolled into town?

I guess the incontinent ones do, yeah.

Mrs. Hernandez, are you ready?

Angel, I need you to stay close to me, okay?

[RUMBLING, HELICOPTER WHIRS]

Who are they?

Military?

Why no markings?

And what's with the helicopter escort?

Hey, Scott, get a shot of them.

Mommy.

Hey, sweetie.

[GRUNTS]

Is Jesse going to be okay?

I hope so.

I'm so sorry.

What happened?

We just... We thought it'd be cool to explore.

And then Jesse saw something.

Saw what?

I told you, I don't know.

Look, I said I was sorry.

Kira.

WOMAN [OVER PA]: Ms. Barnette, please call nurse's station.

[SIGHS] Ms. Barnette.

How about I set you up in my office with some crayons.

Would you like that?

What do you think he saw, Mom?

[♪♪♪]

Mona, you there?

MONA: Go ahead.

I'm not able to make it down to Lone Pine.

But I need you to bring me something.

WOMAN: I wanna go back to the house to get some clothes

and my grandson's photo album.

It's not safe, Mrs. Lowell.

But I'll tell you what.

I'll send somebody out there and get it for you, okay?

Okay. My grandson's 4 months old,

but he's very big for his age. Okay.

Tom! In the 98th percentile.

Well, that's... That's really big. Mm-hm.

Um, would you excuse me? Sure.

All right, honey.

Are you still running your safety circle?

Nobody in or out without your clearance?

Five-mile radius.

Recognize these guys?

No. How's that possible?

Well, as powerful as I am,

I'm not present at every checkpoint every second.

But they look like the military to me.

Military what?

They weren't headed towards town, but towards the Keys.

So?

So if you didn't give them clearance...

Then I didn't give them clearance.

Look, Tom.

The man Russell found half-dead in his ranger station, Paxton,

was Air Force.

He was down here on some kind of classified mission.

Now, I'd like to know what he was up to. Wouldn't you?

Oh, and you think there's a connection with these trucks.

Yeah.

[CHUCKLES]

I don't think you want to go after this one.

The Air Force can take care of their own.

Then why is Paxton dead?

Why did they tell his wife he was overseas?

You spoke to his wife?

I'm gonna find out what happened,

and why the Air Force is here,

and if there's a cover-up, who's involved.

Now, you can help me get the story,

or you can be the story.

It's your choice.

[♪♪♪]

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]

When will he wake up?

Probably in a few hours.

[SIGHS]

I don't know how long he was unconscious.

Why did Kira leave him?

Oh, she said the trailer flooded.

She tried to get to him. He was thrown to the back.

And I guess water was pouring in.

They shouldn't have been out there in the first place.

Are you blaming me?

No.

It could have happened while

they were at your house, Russell.

Why were they out there at all? They were getting gas.

Couldn't Tom have done that? Russell.

When Jesse's with you, he runs all over the Glades.

Yeah. When he's with me.

Not alone. Not five days after a hurricane.

You want to make it my fault? Fine.

I'm not making it your fault.

Are you gonna blame Kira too?

I am not blaming anyone.

I just want to know why it happened.

It happened because they're kids.

It happened because we can't be with them every second.

It's not because of me.

It's not because of you.

It's not because we're divorced.

Well, I just want him to be okay.

That's all.

[♪♪♪]

Mariel.

I'm... I'm gonna check on Rose.

Will you prep this?

It's not far.

Yeah. Uh-uh...

Hey. How's your boy?

Oh. I don't know yet.

I'm sorry, Russ.

Thanks. Did you get what I need?

Yeah.

What is that thing?

It's a piece of tissue

Mariel pulled out of that Air Force guy.

What kind of tissue?

Stuck inside one of his wounds.

I think it may be part of whatever attacked him.

I had the lab run some tests.

Was it a fish?

Hurricanes can sometimes throw up some bad fish.

So who am I talking to?

General Turner with the 10th Mountain.

Th... That's Army.

Yes, but he's the highest-ranking

military officer in the area.

And he may know something. After you.

Hey, son.

Rush me the reports when you can.

General. Tom.

This is Larkin Groves with WNKW-TV.

Nice to meet you, ma'am. How do you do?

Please, show him the picture.

Um. I saw these trucks headed south

towards the Keys this morning.

And I was hoping that you could tell me who...

They're Air Force.

Air Force?

Yes, ma'am. Looks like a cleanup crew.

Cleanup crew? For what?

Are we on the record here?

Up to you, sir.

There was a sewage plant that got busted open

down in Key Largo.

Nothing really serious,

but there was some chemical leakage.

Air Force offered to go down there and clean it up for us.

A sewage plant.

Yes, ma'am.

Well... that explains a lot.

Thank you, general. Sure.

Maybe next time you can introduce me

to someone more knowledgeable.

Excuse me?

The sewage plant in Key Largo closed a month ago.

I covered the story.

I must have missed that one.

Ha. Yeah.

Guess the general did too.

Look, Larkin, I told you.

You don't wanna mess with this, really.

Too late for that.

The operation is highly classified.

I'm only in the loop because

they couldn't operate here without me.

I understand. You're very important.

No, I'm not...

And about to be exposed as a liar.

Let go of my door.

If I tell you what's really going on,

I'm gonna put you in the cross hairs.

These guys, they don't screw around.

They'll have you fired,

blackballed... worse.

I'm a big girl.

And I'll probably be fired anyway.

They are operating out of Key Largo.

Prove it.

INTERN: Mr. Varon, the nurse was looking for you.

What's going on? He's running a high fever,

and his breathing's labored. Where's Mariel?

I haven't seen her. What do you mean?

[HEART MONITOR BEEPS]

What's happening?

His B.P.'s dropping. Heart rate's rising.

Where the hell's Mariel?

Mariel?!

[♪♪♪]

RUSSELL: Mariel. Mariel!

We need more LR's now. Push a bolus fast as you can.

Pressure's still dropping.

What's the acuity?

B.P.'s low, vitals unstable.

Give him 50 mg of Diphenhydramine...

What's wrong with him? I don't know.

You don't know? You have to know.

He's having a hemolytic reaction. You sure he's AB-neg?

RUSSELL: Mariel... Stop the blood. Stop it.

Call the Red Cross.

See if they have any blood substitute and send it now.

Was he given the wrong type? No.

How do you know? Are you sure?

It was mine.

[♪♪♪]

KIRA: Thanks for the lift.

Yeah. No problem.

Boy. Nice digs.

Yeah. Everyone thinks my dad's on the take,

but he just got a lot of insurance money

after my mom died.

Huh.

The radio's upstairs.

Here. My dad keeps it on a police frequency

but number one's a direct line to the hospital.

So if you hit that button, it'll call Mariel's office.

Okay, thanks.

[RADIO CRACKLING]

Hello?

Hello?

Is that your mom? Yeah.

She was hot.

Yeah. She, uh...

She kind of looked like an old movie star.

She had a lot of style.

Even her name, Grace, had style.

These are from her?

Yeah.

They're letters she wrote to my dad

when he was in the first Gulf War.

Hm.

Uh, nobody's picking up on this.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy at the hospital.

Just give it a minute.

Okay.

So, uh...

why'd you think it was your fault,

what happened to Jesse?

I don't know.

I guess I feel a lot of things are my fault.

Oh, c...

Oh, come on, I'm sure that's not true.

[♪♪♪]

I thought it was my fault when my mom died.

How did your mom die?

In a plane crash.

That's no good. No.

You know there's nothing you could've done, right?

Yeah. No, I know.

And... But you...

You always wonder if, you know,

maybe you'd been there...

something would be different.

Yeah, but you were with Jesse.

Yeah.

So, uh, guess it's my fault either way, huh?

There you go. That's the spirit, kid.

[GIGGLES]

[CHUCKLES]

[SNIFFLES]

Mariel.

Mariel, hold on.

He's stable now, Russell. He's gonna be fine.

I'm not worried about Jesse. I'm worried about you.

Why?

Mariel... what...

is going on with you?

I'm just overwhelmed.

And exhausted.

And...

I don't know...

what's going on with me.

My blood almost killed Jesse, Russell.

But it didn't.

He's stable now.

You said so yourself, he's gonna be fine.

Mariel...

why don't you go be with him?

[♪♪♪]

Just take a break and be with your son.

Yeah, I have the results somewhere.

D... Dr. Underlay's blood, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

The hurricane kind of messed everything up.

We lost our file cabinets. Uh...

Oh. Was it your son who had a problem?

Yes. That's right.

GREGG: Uh. Yeah...

Oh, um... Yeah.

I'm really sorry.

I... I'm not sure that he got the right blood.

You're not sure?

Not sure he got his mother's.

We've had lots of donors,

and her results, uh...

they were right...

Oh. Yeah, the hurricane kind of messed us up.

[PAPERS RUSTLING] Uh...

Oh. Yeah.

Here. Here they are.

Uh...

Yeah. We're running these tests again.

Why?

Uh, the equipment must have been contaminated.

Can I see that?

We had a... A couple different readings like this. I...

Somebody must have forgotten to clean the centrifuge

because there were...

enormous amounts of hemoglobin.

[LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY]

I mean, unless the donor was a dolphin,

or a whale or something.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Where exactly are we going?

You sound like Rose.

"Are we there yet?"

Yeah, but I didn't ask when, I asked where.

You know where.

Key Largo.

This isn't the way.

It's another way.

How's your husband?

I haven't talked to him today.

How's your wife?

Hey. Hey.

He's stable now.

I'm gonna go see about moving him to Recovery.

[SIGHS]

Hey, bud.

And what were you doing in that water?

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]

I don't want you near that water.

[SIGHS]

I just want you with me.

[♪♪♪]

UNDERLAY: Are you worried?

About what?

That things are gonna change when the baby comes.

Between you and Russell.

Russell and I would never let that happen.

[LAUGHS] Really?

How are you planning to do that?

I mean...

change is inevitable.

Things are always evolving.

It's just a matter of how we choose to respond to it.

[KNOCK]

Hey.

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry.

For what?

If it sounded like I was

blaming you earlier about Jesse.

I didn't mean to.

Well, I accept your apology.

If you were blaming me, which I'm not sure you were.

How long's she been asleep?

Half an hour.

She didn't get her afternoon nap today.

She still takes naps?

She doesn't when she's at your house?

Well, different homes... different rules...

different parents.

Same parents.

Huh. I spoke to the guy in your blood lab...

about Jesse.

Huh.

There may have been a mistake. It may not have been your blood.

There's some problem with the equipment.

Too much hemoglobin.

What?

The blood work contained massive amounts of hemoglobin.

He said it was like you'd find in a dolphin or a whale.

Of course he thought that was a mistake.

Again, he didn't even know that it was your blood.

It's... It's kind of a mess in there.

I better go find out what happened.

Hopefully this next round of tests will clear everything up.

Listen, I am Jesse Varon's stepbrother-in-law.

WOMAN [ON RADIO]: I'm only authorized to give information

to the immediate family.

Oh, how do I not qualify as immediate family?

Excuse me. Who am I speaking to?

Joyce Scovell.

Hi, Joyce. This is Kira Underlay,

Jesse's stepsister.

I believe I qualify as family.

And if I don't, I'll make sure my father and his wife,

Dr. Mariel Underlay, chief of staff at your hospital,

hear about it.

Uh, let me check with my supervisor.

Nice.

Yeah, I picked up a few things from my dad.

Yeah, well, don't pick up too much.

LARKIN: I've been to Key Largo a thousand times.

I've never seen this.

Well, I didn't blindfold you.

But I stopped knowing where we were going about 45 minutes ago.

Maybe that's a good thing.

[ENGINE REVVING]

MAN [ON RADIO]: Unit 12 proceed to...

UNDERLAY: Okay. There's your story.

You just can't tell anybody. Why?

You wanted the truth, here it is.

But if you tell anybody what you've seen,

you burn me as a source forever.

Not to mention as a friend.

And what am I looking at?

What's left of an HH-60G Pave Hawk.

Air Force search and rescue.

LARKIN: Paxton's?

It took off with a four-man crew.

Why did it crash?

I'm assuming the hurricane.

Yeah, but why were they flying?

Why was Paxton in a wet suit in the water?

What were they looking for?

According to my contact,

they were after a missing weather plane.

A weather plane?

Then what's going on over there?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO]

What's in the box, Tom?

[TRUCK DOOR CLOSES]

How long was your dad in the Air Force?

Twelve years.

Handsome couple. [RADIO STATIC]

JOYCE [ON RADIO]: Kira? I have good news.

Jesse's condition has been upgraded to good.

Thank you, Joyce. That's great news.

Do you wanna go see him?

Yeah. You sure you're up for it?

Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Let's go.

Bye, Grace.

[SIREN WAILS]

You guys look funny.

Hey.

Why's that?

You're all out of focus.

Yeah, just go with that.

It's been working for me for years.

Hey.

I'm sorry you got hurt.

You know, Kira, she...

saved your butt, man.

If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be here right now.

Thanks.

I saw something in the water, Dad.

I know.

[FOOTSTEPS]

ROSE: Jesse.

JESSE: Hey. MARIEL: Hey, baby.

How are you?

I'm dealing.

I drew this for you.

Mariel? Thanks, Rose.

Did you get a chance to talk to the lab?

Is it supposed to be me? Yup.

Yeah. ROSE: It looks just like you.

It was a mix-up.

The tech told me he ran complete panels

and CBC makeups on my blood, and everything's fine.

Jesse got somebody else's.

It's not gonna happen again.

So you think he can come home tomorrow?

Which home?

My home.

I'll make sure he gets his naps.

Sure.

Thank you for being here for him, Russell.

For both of them. Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

Yeah, you make sure you get some rest, okay?

Okay.

Hey, baby.

[WATER RUNNING]

[♪♪♪]

[BUZZING]

Hey, blog readers. It's me again, Dave.

Unfortunately, my search for the owner of the ring

has not yielded anything yet.

But I haven't given up.

Something is out there.

But whatever it is, wherever it is,

I'm going to find it.

But until I do... until we do,

Russell and me... just a tip:

Stay out of the water.
