My family doesn't need me.

We can run away together,

you and I.

My family doesn't need me.

We can run away together,

you and I.

I can give you the moon

and all the stars, baby.

Sounds like a promise

he won't keep.

Hey, Pen.

I can see that you're ready.

I am.

And?

And what?

Do you like how I look?

You look great.

You look great.

I'm almost finished with the second act.

I'm really close.

Can we just be a little late?

No, we can’t just be a little late.

You know what?

Just do what you want.

I don't even care.

Pen?

Penny?

No!

Penelope?

Can you at least turn that music down?

Please?

I told you I was almost ready.

And, we're still in

time for the show.

You see?

There's no need to get

your panties all in a bunch.

Albie, we’re supposed to

actually get out and do something fun tonight.

That's what you promised

Doing this is fun, isn’t it?

I didn't drop the kids off for this.

Can we get going?

Okay.

Okay.

I know you don't want to be late.

Don’t worry,

There's more where that came from later.

Can't wait.

Let's go.

Can’t we change that light out with a more dim light?

It’s so ugly.

I don't know.

Aren’t men supposed to do these things?

Are you a man, Albie?

You know I'm a man.

I’m the man.

How long you think he’s had those paint swatches up

on his house?

I don't know.

Does it really matter?

Just wondering if he's ever going to

paint the damn thing.

Well, I don't know if you realize, but we actually

have a lot of paintwork to do on our own house, so.

Well, we just moved in.

You'd think he'd try to do a little bit better.

Well, we can't all write award winning films

like you Al.

It's a shame.

Hey, you two.

Geez...

Hey, Mark.

Hi.

How are you enjoying your new home?

-Yeah, it’s, -Oh, yeah,

We, We love it.

It's great.

We were just discussing

how pleasant it is to

have you as our neighbor.

Wonderful.

So nice to have you

as my new neighbors.

Oh, well, we just love being your neighbors.

Ever since Mary passed.

Well, it's just nice to have life next door.

It's just nice

to be alive.

Well, we don't want to be late for the opera

We'll see you soon.

Okay.

Bye, bye.

Albie!

Do you think he heard

what you said?

I don't know.

He’s such a freaking weirdo.

Albie.

He's still waving

Geez.

Longest party line ever,

or what?

I was on the phone with my mom for your information.

Oh, yeah?

And what makes you so happy about that?

She said we can just pick the kids up in the morning,

if we want.

Slap me.

I must be dreaming.

You are not.

That means...

no little brats

climbing into our bed in the middle of the night?

Little brats that you love.

Wait.

So...

What can we possibly do

with the house all alone

to ourselves for the rest

of the night?

Well, I was thinking

maybe we could have a couple drinks and

then you could finish what you started in

the dining room earlier.

Who are you and what have you done with my wife?

I can just call my mom and tell her--

No, no, no, no, no.

I like the other idea better.

Well, let's go.

Giddy up, cowboy.

I'm gettin’.

I'm gettin’.

And you better make it good.

You know I will.

Good old Hollywood...

I love spending my days

staring at brake lights.

Livin’ the dream.

Well hey...

At least you’re looking

at the bright side.

Oh, really?

Couldn’t detect the hint

of sarcasm there?

No, like you're actually

looking at the bright side.

Brake lights,

bright side...

Thank you.

I’ll be here all week.

It was three years ago.

Are you writing out loud again?

The award you were talking about earlier.

There hasn't really been anything successful since.

Who knows what's gonna happen with the agency

if this one doesn't land...

We might as well just pack up and move

back to Idaho now.

And what?

Take over your dad's garage when he retires?

Yeah, with all of my mechanic skills.

You’re gonna be just fine.

Besides, you can't give up.

We still have to fulfill our dream of you

writing and me starring in an Oscar winning film together.

That’s still the dream, huh?

Why not?

I'm not gonna be a stay- at-home mom forever.

Don't worry.

I know you.

Some weird little thing is

gonna happen to you tonight,

and then you're gonna to get this big idea

and it’s gonna be like

the best thing ever

in your script.

Well, I’m waiting with open arms for that

weird little thing.

What are you thinking about?

Do you think we should just--

Holy shit!

Oh my God!

Pull over!

Okay.

Okay, I am.

I don't think you have it on all the way again.

Look,

I got it, okay?

Here, just let me help.

I said I got it, okay?

Why are you always hovering over me?

Because I've been standing here for an hour watching

you try to do something that anyone can do

in 20 minutes.

You know everything?

You do it, then.

There.

You gotta be kidding me.

We were here earlier.

I know.

I feel like we’ve been here for the past year.

That's what tonight was supposed to fix though,

right?

No, I mean, me and the kids.

We came here earlier.

They wanted to play

after Emma’s recital.

Shit...

Her ballet recital was tonight.

It was.

I don't know how I keep

letting this happen.

Well...

If you’d answered the phone after the three

times I called you,

I could have reminded you.

Again.

I wanna do better

for us.

You should have seen her.

She was so...

beautiful.

I should have.

I'm sorry.

We can't catch a break, can we?

What were you

gonna say earlier?

When?

Right before the tire popped,

you were gonna say something.

Doesn't matter.

We should get going, though.

Yeah, you're right.

I don't suppose you're still in the mood?

For a bath and bed...

hell yeah, I am.

Can I...

at least help you with your bath?

Maybe next time.

Yeah...

Hi.

Can I help you folks?

Jiminy!

You folks sure look like

you could use some help.

Hunny!

Uh no. Can we help you?

You're in our house.

Yeah, what the hell

are you doing?

Get out!

Yes, Hunny?

Uh Hunny, these folks seem

like they could use our help,

and they seem a bit confused.

No, we're not confused.

You're in our house and we want you out now!

Hold on now.

It...

Hold on now.

I'm sure we can get all of this settled.

You just need to calm down a bit.

Now, why don't you come in

-and we can -Are you okay?

talk about this?

Yeah, come on in.

Just a bit too much to

-drink tonight. -Can we get

you a glass of water

or something?

No!

No! We don't need your help!

We need you out of

our house right now!

Or else you and I are gonna

have major problems!

Albie, hold on a minute.

Hunny, you think maybe

we should call this in?

Listen, partner.

I'm sure we can settle this.

You just need to help us.

Why don't you come in

and we can talk about it?

I'm not your partner,

asshole!

Albie!

I really do think it's time to call this in.

What is going on out here?

There's people in our house.

Mark?

Mark?!

That's it.

I'm calling the cops.

Be my guest partner,

if it makes you feel better.

Hi.

Yes.

There are people in our house

and they won't leave.

Yes.

No, not really.

Nothing physical.

Yes.

2210 Lincoln.

Hold?!

How about you just send

a unit down here?!

Okay! Okay!

Just!

Just hurry!

Yes?

No, everything's under control.

Thanks.

Yes?

What?!

Yes, you will!

We need these people

out of our house and--

Hey?!

Hel--

Hello?

What?

Hel--

What happened?

What did they say?

I don't know what's going on,

but if you think you can just--

Hunny.

Don’t move.

Albie.

Hunny.

Both of you.

I can't have you

assaulting me again.

I don't think

your cops are coming tonight.

So why don't you come in

and we can work this whole thing out?

Albie, please.

Don't do anything stupid.

I’d listen to her.

She's making a lot of sense.

What the hell do you people want?

We just want to work this out.

You won't get away with this.

Okay.

Seriously,

what the hell was that?

I don't know.

I've never had a gun pointed at me before.

You okay?

Yeah,

I am.

What the hell was up with Mark?

That asshole acted like

he'd never seen me before.

That was so weird.

Maybe he heard you

talking about him earlier.

Really?

He got that butthurt over that?

I'm just gonna call again.

Maybe I'll get someone else.

I doubt it.

Look what happened earlier.

I'm gonna try.

Hi.

Earlier, there were people in our house and I think

they're still there.

We just want to--

2210 East Linc--

Hello?

No.

Hello?

I can hear you!

Shit!

Okay, look,

let's just try to calm down

and

we can figure something out,

okay?

How can I?!

Just try!

I’m trying.

Seriously, though,

what are we gonna do?

Okay, look.

There's at least one neighbor that we know we can rely on.

Oh no.

One neighbor you can rely on.

It's like 11 o’clock.

She's not even gonna want us there anyway.

She said herself.

Come over and hang out whenever you want,

now that we live in the same neighborhood.

I'm positive

that invite wasn't for me.

Okay, well,

I think she's gonna

understand, given the current circumstance.

Albie, come on.

I don't... It’s late.

I don't want to be out here like this right now.

Fine.

But one stupid comment from her and I'm out of there.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

Just see how it goes.

Okay.

Thanks so much.

Bye.

The witch is still accepting victims at this hour?

Would you stop it?

She's coming to the door right now.

Don't screw this up.

What?...

You can’t tell me that it’s not weird that

she’s up right now,

let alone coming to the door.

Shhh.

Come on.

Okay, maybe just a little.

Penny,

did you finally remember that we're neighbors?

Come on in.

We've only been here two weeks, Kimmy.

Two weeks is too long for not visiting your sister.

Albie,

it is very nice to see you.

It's nice to see you, too.

We were just saying how surprised we are that...

surprised and thankful we are that you were up

and so gracious to...

let us in.

Oh.

I suppose I like to stay up a little later these days.

Well, tell me all about

your problem.

I love a good drama.

I'll get the drinks.

Thanks Kimmy.

You're the best.

Don't mention it.

So, rather than watching Albie get shot in the head,

I thought it best that we get out of the situation

as quickly as possible.

And long story short,

I thought

we could come here,

figure it out,

and maybe, uh...

maybe stay the night.

And, what do you intend

to do after that?

Well, I thought we could go to the city in the morning

and maybe talk to someone who isn’t in on whatever

the hell is going on over there.

Go to the city, you say?

Yeah.

So what do you say?

Can we stay?

I think...

no.

Come on, Kimmy.

It's just for one night.

I don't say it out of meanness.

I say it in order to help you both.

Truly.

Truly.

Well, if you really wanted to help us, you'd let us stay.

Please.

Think about it.

What could these people possibly want with your house?

They'd have to know that you’d come back with evidence

of owning the property,

and that they'd end up in jail.

It's obvious.

They don't want your house.

They want

something inside of it.

They take it and then,

bam!

They’re gone to Mexico.

Can you think of anything they might be after?

Something valuable?

I don't know.

Maybe a few pieces of jewelry.

Are you sure?

Yeah, pretty sure.

Well, either way, I think you should go back and find out.

There's only one way to beat a crooked cop,

and that's with evidence.

And how are we supposed

to get evidence?

Easy.

Hideaway somewhere and video them.

We shouldn’t go back over there tonight.

It'll just result in another dangerous confrontation.

If they end up finding you,

just play the desperate card.

Tell them that you'll give them whatever it is that they want.

Just be sure you're

recording the conversation.

Then all the power's yours.

I, I like it.

I don’t know.

You’ll have to be very convincing.

Use those amazing

acting skills of yours.

Afterwards, you'll have everything you need

to press heavy charges.

I’m in.

Let's go Penny.

Otherwise, who knows what they're getting away with

over there.

She's right.

It may already be too late

Pen, come on. Let’s go.

No communication

or even coming into contact with them

until we have evidence of them stealing.

All right, let's go.

Let me know how it goes.

You know, I don’t care

what they say about you.

I've always known you have a great head on

your shoulders.

Remember,

play the desperate card.

Yeah.

What do you suppose has gotten into her?

I don't know.

Maybe she’s been lonely

since the divorce.

Yeah.

Maybe you're right.

Good call on going to her house.

I think it was a good chance to clear our heads and

make a strong decision.

Yeah.

So...

what’s the plan?

What's the plan?

Why are you asking me?

You’re so eager, you tell me what the plan is.

Okay.

So, you said we should make sure to stay out of sight

until we get evidence of them stealing, right?

Yes.

So, then,

we'll need to sneak up on them.

Genius.

We're saved.

You're not helping.

Okay, please continue.

So, the solution is simple.

We go through the backyard

and then straight in the back door.

It'll for sure work.

We’ll totally be able to sneak up on those assholes.

It's perfect, right?

I don't like it.

You want us to go inside the house, while those

weirdos are in there?

Can’t we just wait outside, catch them while they're

walking out with whatever it is they're gonna take?

No, we can't wait outside.

We need to get close.

Take action.

It's our house, our stuff.

It's impossible to try to get through to you.

None of that matters if you're shot dead.

He's a cop.

You really think he'll shoot us?

I don't think so.

You know what happens to cops in prison?

Excuse me for not being convinced

that a criminal cop won't shoot us.

You really don't wanna go back?

Not right now, I don’t.

Do you realize what's most likely happening to our

home and everything in it right now?

I do, but the f...

The fight isn't worth

what might happen.

You don't even care.

It wasn't you who bought

the house and everything in it.

You know what?

When we get there, just do whatever you want.

I won't be a part of it.

You can go to jail

for all I care.

Okay.

Sorry.

This isn't helping at all,

right now.

No, it's not.

How’s this?

We try my plan

and if...

and if for some reason it doesn't work,

we can play the desperate card like Kim suggested.

It'll be perfect.

What do you say?

Fine.

But if at any moment I feel like we need to leave,

we are leaving.

No questions asked.

It's gonna work.

Let’s just get it over with.

You ready?

I guess so.

Hey.

Don’t worry so much.

We’ll be fine.

If we’re gonna do this, let’s go

Okay.

Looks clear.

Let's go.

This way.

Shhh.

What are we doing back here?

We’ll go over the wall.

They’ll never see us coming this way.

Whatever.

Okay.

Who goes first?

This is your idea.

You’re going first.

Okay, but...

how can I help you over

if I go over first?

I can get over myself,

thanks.

Okay, it’s settled.

I'll go over first.

Stop stalling.

I’m not stalling.

Go.

What are you doing?

Helping you down.

Okay, I’m just gonna help you down.

Shhh.

Shhh.

You just had to have these stupid chickens.

What?

Shhh.

Don’t blame the chickens.

Those stupid things.

Just gave us away.

Let’s just keep going.

Come on.

Shhh.

Go.

Go.

Come on.

You get your fire pit

and I get my chicken coop.

Don't be mad at me cause your project’s

still just a pile of old bricks.

You try digging out a fire pit

on top of working ten hour days.

You try building a chicken coop with two small children

hanging on you all day.

The coast is clear.

Let's move.

Wait here.

What?

Wait here.

Albie?

Hey.

Hey!

Shit.

Albie, what are you doing?

Albie?!

Shit.

What are you doing?

Why do you have that?

Just in case.

She was right.

Time to catch them in the middle of it.

Let’s go.

Okay, yeah.

But you're not

taking that in there.

But it’s for--

Albie,

leave it.

It’s a--

Leave it!

Fine.

Start recording.

Okay.

Shhh.

It was the woman.

She didn’t see me.

I think they’re in the bedroom.

They’re probably going for the jewelry.

I’m still recording.

Now is as good a time as any, right?

What’s that?

I don’t know.

Maybe they’re breaking into your safe.

Shit.

Move!

Hey, partner.

You look like

you could use a drink.

Help!

Don't struggle.

You won't break free.

Any attempt to do so will be futile.

Albie!

Albie!

Help...

You can continue to scream.

No one can hear you down here.

And it's highly unlikely anyone in close proximity

will be willing to assist you.

Please, let me go.

We’ll give you whatever you want.

You can have your freedom

as soon as we find what we're looking for.

Now, does the male have the only access

to the collective intelligence?

Just ask for whatever it is you want and just leave us alone.

Answer the question

and you'll be set free.

The question?

I don't know what the question is.

The collective intelligence.

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

Come now.

You're not the first laborers

we've intercepted.

What is the primary method for communicating directives

within the Central Intelligence Network?

Spies?

You have the wrong people.

We’re not spies.

Do not attempt to deceive us.

We will not be easily misled.

I swear you have the wrong people.

Please.

If you do not want to cooperate, you will

suffer until you are willing to do so.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Please stop.

When the pain subsides,

we can start again.

Please, stop.

The suffering will end,

if you tell me what I want to know

I wanna help you.

Please.

There, now that's progress.

Is the access point here in this room?

How is the

connection established?

I don’t know.

Please stop.

I don’t know what you want.

I can’t help you.

Please.

We'll see.

Hey.

You're looking pretty messy there, partner.

Let me help you.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

You’re gonna need to calm down,

before we can get anywhere productive.

And a...

I'm sorry about the blunt force earlier.

It's just you

so love to stand in the way of what's best for you.

And we wanted to put all that behind

us as fast as we could.

You really need to calm yourself,

if we're going to proceed with this inquiry.

Okay, then

There...

You’re starting to calm now.

Let's begin.

Now we can begin.

You,

you son-of-a-bitch.

I'll kill you.

Kill?

Me?

If you're saying

what I think you're saying.

That's an interesting notion,

considering

the position you're in.

You’re not gonna get away with this.

I bet someone's looking for you right now.

When they catch you,

I'm gonna be there to watch you burn.

I don't believe you're going to be around long enough

to watch much of anything.

And nobody's coming for us.

We don't even exist.

Now, let's begin,

huh?

Screw you!

Another interesting notion

and a surprising proposal

coming from you.

Uh...

No, I don't think I will.

You should just kill me now.

Once I get out of this,

I'm seriously

gonna rip you apart.

Why would I want to kill you?

I haven't gotten any

information from you yet.

Information?

You’re not getting shit from me!

Oh.

I believe I will

with a...

a little persuasion.

Now,

I want you to tell me

how you access the collective intelligence.

This could all be so quick

and simple, and then I could let

you free.

Let's make a deal, you and I.

You tell me what I want to know,

and in return, I will grant you

whatever your heart desires.

I don't want

anything from you, asshole!

But...

you're a failure.

Everything in your life

is a failure.

I could free you

from that failure.

You don't know me.

Your union with your wife

is in its last days.

Maybe I should offer her a deal.

I'm certain

I could please her in ways

that you never could.

And then we wouldn't need you anymore.

You’d be discarded.

and she could live her life with all the pleasures

of her heart.

I swear to God.

If you touch her at all, I will fucking kill you!

Again,

I've failed to communicate

that you are in no position to make demands or threats.

I...

I need to work on my communication skills.

You resort to aggression

so quickly,

but

aggression never seems to go very far with you.

Hello there, friend.

I think you and I are going to have a

much more productive time than I had with your man.

Yes.

very productive indeed.

Please don't.

Albie!

Shhh.

Shhh.

Shhhhhh.

Calm down.

Calm down.

You want this to be as pleasurable as it can be,

don’t you?

You don't want to go back to the methods

my colleague was using, do you?

There.

We’re not who you think we are.

We just moved in.

You're probably mixing us up with whoever

it was who lived here before us.

No,

that’s definitely not the case.

Well, how could you be sure?

I know

Because we're the ones who were here before you.

We've been here

a very long time.

Please, just let me go.

We can’t help you with whatever it is you want.

I promise we’ll just leave.

No.

We can’t be doing that, can we?

Tell me what you want me to do to you.

What just?

Nothing?

Huh

Pity.

You gonna try to kill me, too?

That depends.

Are you going to be cooperative?

You should have just let him finish the job.

I'm aware you can be very stubborn.

I can be very persuasive.

Good for you.

Are you going to be cooperative?

Depends.

Are you and your weird little friend

going to crawl into a hole somewhere and die?

To answer your question,

I don't think we will.

Tell me, how do we access

the collective intelligence?

We can do whatever you want,

as long as you tell me what I need to know.

I don't know what you want.

Maybe we can loosen up a bit

and then something

will come to you.

What are you doing?

Get off of me.

Get off of me!

Confirm for me.

Is the access point here in this house?

Confirm.

The collective has not yet achieved telepathic ability,

correct?

My wife, where's my wife?

Where's Penny?

There's no need to concern yourself with her right now.

Besides, what she doesn't know won't hurt her.

That is how the saying goes,

correct?

I can make you squeal,

so you might as well just tell me what I need to know.

Will you just stop!

Just stop!

I haven't had children.

I know that's what you prefer.

No.

No, that’s not true.

Then what is true?

Hello down there.

I was hoping we could have a talk, you and I.

Now, between you and me,

we both know that things aren’t going that well for

Mr. Albie.

What do you mean?

Well,

he's been a little stressed out

about his status in his current occupation, you know,

and if that status were to continue

to drop in his position the way it has been.

Well,

you all could lose your standard of living.

No more nice things.

Jewelry, nice dresses,

no more.

But,

we can help.

We can see to it that you don't need

Albie's employment to maintain your lifestyle.

We can see to it that you can stand

on your own.

You can go back to that entertainment work

you're so good at,

and we can see to it

that you are offered all the most desirable

opportunities your industry has to offer.

The nice things stay

and more to come.

And all you have to do is help us.

Tell me,

where is your access point

to the collective intelligence?

Well?

Hi, Albie.

After some deliberation,

we've decided we want to help you.

Help me?

Yes.

We know that your recent entertainment endeavors

have been less than successful.

We also know that it is not your skills

or expertise that are holding you back.

No,

it is those in power in your industry.

That’s where me and my colleagues come in.

We are very well connected, you see,

and we can make things happen.

We control a great many things,

Mr. Albie Jones.

Where is your access point for the collective intelligence?

Oh.

Oh, you're bleeding.

Oh, no, no, no.

It’s just...

It's from my head earlier.

-I’m fine. -No, it seems

to be coming

-from your arm -No, no I’m

fine.

I'm fine.

Turn and let me see so I can render aid.

Seriously.

I'm fine.

Oh no, you seem to have cut yourself on this broken glass.

Think about it.

Your name will be known around the world.

You can have

fame, fortune,

anything you've ever dreamed of.

You could have anything

or anyone you could ever want.

You could have a woman who

appreciates you and

everything you are.

So all I have to do is tell you where

the intelligence access is?

And then you'll

make me successful,

and you and I will um...

you know, have some fun?

If that's what you would like?

Deal.

I knew you'd be reasonable.

Yeah.

You know, normally

when I do this type of thing,

I like to start untied.

No.

You will tell me how to access

the collective intelligence, and then we'll continue

with the rest of our deal.

Fine.

I'll tell you where to find the access point.

You have to go and and get the device,

and...

I can tell you how to operate it.

Where's the device?

Um...

Outside by the driveway next to the house.

You’ll see a large metal enclosure.

Remove the outside of the enclosure

and look in there.

You’ll find what you're looking for.

In your air control unit?

Yes.

We've never seen you access this unit in our

rigorous observation of your family.

I assure you,

it's there.

I wasn’t gonna do anything.

I swear.

It was just an accident, okay.

I’m sorry.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no apologies are necessary.

It was entirely my oversight.

I'll just need to make certain

it can never happen again.

Looks like you could use a drink, partner.

Albie.

Are you okay?

You okay?

Yeah, are you?

Did he hurt you?

He didn't, but he...

But he what?

It doesn’t matter.

I’m just glad you're okay.

Where's the woman?

She's probably outside at the AC unit looking for

whatever the hell it is they're looking for.

What?

Nevermind.

We have to get out of here

right now.

Not before this asshole

gets what's coming to him.

What?

You heard me.

He tried to kill me.

Albie, stop!

Albie, wait.

Albie!

What?

Don’t do this.

For once in your life,

listen!

Stop!

No, you stop!

You just stand back and do nothing,

like usual.

What?

Can't you see,

we should have just stayed at Kimmy's?

None of this would have happened if you had just listened.

They would have taken whatever it was that

they wanted and left.

But you don't ever listen, do you?

Let's go.

Someone's got to put an end

to this situation.

You're always holding me back.

Not anymore.

You know what?

Do whatever you want.

I won't be a part of it.

First thing you said in years

that's made me happy.

You should get a lawyer.

Yeah, hardly.

They're the ones who attacked us

in our own home.

No, I don't mean for them,

Albie.

We’ve put this off for too long.

Fine.

You think that upsets me or something?

I have bigger concerns

right now.

You are a pathetic human being.

I wasted my life on you.

Wasted your life?

You have no life!

You're just dead weight leeching off of mine!

I'm going in the bedroom and locking the door.

Don't try to come in.

I don't give a shit

what you do!

Self-defense.

Don't worry.

They don't even exist.

There’s a nice spot next to him,

if that crazy bitch ever

comes back.

Kimmy?

Albie?!

Albie?!

Don't waste your breath.

Albie, come here right now.

I said don't waste your breath--

She’s back.

They’re all back.

What?

Came back to end up like your friend?

Kimmy, this is the one we were talking about earlier.

Mark, you were here.

Sit down.

What?!

Wait a minute.

We're not doing anything--

If you don't sit down now, my associate here

will use her interrogation methods on you again.

Perhaps she can ramp up

the intensity this time.

Your associate?

Yes, my associate.

Now, sit.

Both of you.

You're gonna be sorry.

Kimmy, what is this?

There is no Kimmy

anymore.

What are you talking about?

Here he comes.

Here who comes?

Shut up.

I’m getting so sick of your--

Boo!

Why do they always act like they don't know

how much stronger we are than them?

I swear to God, you're gonna end up just

like your friend out back bitch.

You mean me, partner?

Oh, Albie, what's the matter?

You look like you've

just seen a ghost.

You're

dead.

Your force can’t kill me

human.

What the hell, man?

Third one.

The human lights, please?

My filters are destroyed.

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

Much better.

Thank you.

What?

What are you?

We are what you humans

refer to as aliens.

But soon you will

revere us as gods.

And you creatures will be our humble subordinates

benefiting from our noble presence.

It's not easy finding

an inhabitable world with a secondary species like

yours just waiting to be conquered.

Yeah, believe me.

If you knew of all the shitty galaxies we

had to pass through to get here,

even you'd feel sorry for us.

So try not to waste our time, okay?

Well,

say something.

Kimmy, I don’t know what the hell is going on right now.

You're not a part of this.

Just tell them to let us go.

We told you already

Your Kimmy doesn't exist.

I've assumed her physical appearance.

You're Kimmy,

no more.

Half of your neighborhood,

no more.

Your city's law enforcement.

no more.

Geez.

What does it take to get through to you people?

Let me know, okay, so we can get this all over with.

and take off these ugly masks.

Hey, speak for yourself.

I don’t look so bad.

You

tell us

how to access the collective intelligence

so we can tap into the hive

mind of your little species.

Take control.

Then we all live happily ever after

without having to start a war.

Sound like a plan?

What an honor

it must be for you creatures to aid in rebuilding this

world for beings like us.

So tell us how to tap into the hive mind and we won’t kill you.

How's that for a deal?

Fat chance you're gonna get them to talk.

The two of you have been with them all night.

and caused nothing but trouble.

Hey, now, we were doing all right before you sent

them back to us.

We wanted to find the access without confrontation.

Watch your tone with your superior.

I sent these dumb chips over here to you,

wrapped in a bow,

primed for interrogation.

And what did you do with my gift?

You were beaten and buried

by a human.

Yeah, laugh it up.

Oh, yes.

Indeed.

Tell us how to

access the hive.

I can't believe this is happening.

Believe it.

Just wait until our leaders find out that you're here.

What do you think they're going to do to you,

if all it took from me was a little bottle of scotch

Your leaders

coming together to save your world.

Since when?

No.

There seems to be a fundamental flaw

in your species

collective brain.

Preservation of the world is not something

that you do.

Quite the opposite.

Which is interesting because you lack the

intelligence to go anywhere else.

Your species should be grateful to ours.

Come now.

Give us access.

Make it easier on yourselves.

I couldn’t write this shit.

You.

You're the more reasonable one.

Tell us what we need to know

for the benefit of all.

You leave me no choice.

Fourth one.

Take the useless one,

assume his flesh,

and discard his bones with the others.

Yes, first one.

What are you gonna do?

Keep your hands off me!

Walk.

No!

Wait.

Albie,

are you a man?

Run!

Albie.

Albie...

Where are you?

I’m coming for you.

Albie.

Albie!

Albie...

Funny you decided to run here.

Just think.

Soon,

you're gonna be just like the rest of your neighbors.

One last chance.

Heed the warnings called out by the bones of your people.

Tell us how to access the hive.

We can promise you and your family

the highest level of living.

Your status amongst the humans

will be second to none.

Just tell us how to

access the hive mind.

You need to understand,

I can't help you!

There is no hive mind!

Typical.

Probe him.

I already have many times.

There's nothing there.

All mush.

Just like the others.

Try again.

You know what to do.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Please, you gotta believe me.

There is no hive.

There is no hive.

There is no hive.

We're not stupid.

We can work something out.

I'm sure there's something

else we can do.

Please.

Please.

And you were such a tough guy before.

Fickle, these creatures.

You know, judging by this one,

I'm beginning to think these humans aren't lying.

All this time, we thought they were like bees.

I'm starting to think they're more like flies.

All attracted to the same smelly shit.

Make it quick.

We still have much work to do.

You're really not

going to like this, partner.

No, no, no!

Wait, wait, wait!

Please, please!

You got away?

Where are they?

They're gone.

Don't worry about them.

Really?

Yes.

We gotta hurry.

Pen.

I'm sorry

for it all.

Okay.

Not right now.

Help me out here.

I'm serious this time.

I wanna do better

for you.

For us.

Okay.

Okay.

Can you come and untie me?

We have to get out of here.

Relax.

It's all under control.

I'm gonna take care of you now.

Okay?

I promise.

Hey, partner.

Did you guys have fun?

Yeah!

They were little angels,

as always.

Did you guys enjoy your night?

Oh, Mom.

It was out of this world.
