Dear Lord.

What is that?

Uh, the DX500 receiver. Josh put a bug in his sister's phone when he was

listening to her talk to her boyfriend.

He has a jerk.

Zach, that's terrible.

Would you like someone doing that to you?

I don't really think anyone would be that interested in my life.

I have trouble maintaining interest.

Well, speaking of your life, have you filled out those college applications

The deadline passed months ago.

Mom. I thought we resolved this.

An education isn't your thing.

What are you doing?

Making sure the ad for the room out back is in the paper.

You're serious about that? You're going to rent out my room?

Honey, with your father gone, I'm getting pretty lonely in here. And I'm

enjoying having you in the house with me.

Besides, we need the money.

Did you talk to the guy at his office about the insurance?

Yes, and they said his policy didn't mature for another six months.

I know how much you hate the idea of giving up your space, but we just don't

have a choice.

Look, maybe I'll get a decent job, right?

Maybe I'll win the lottery, and then things will be back to normal.

I don't think that things will be getting back to normal any time in the

future. I've got to go. See you later.

Have a good day at school.

Day at school.

And some oxymoron.

Bye.

What do you want?

I think you know. No, fuck.

My wallet's in my briefcase.

There's not much in there, but... This has nothing to do with money.

What the hell is that thing?

Well, it looks like you've been invited in a party. No!

No, you've got the wrong person.

I have no idea what this is all about.

What are you doing?

I'm here about the room.

There is nothing wrong with your television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to...

and shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limit.

From the time we are children, we are taught to mistrust strangers.

But are we always as wary as we encourage them to be?

That guy creeps me out.

Why? Isn't it fair enough?

Exactly. Working too hard at it.

Honey, you would be suspicious if Mr. Rogers moved in.

Look, we don't even know this guy. He's living in our house now. It doesn't make

you uncomfortable?

Look, it says right here.

Harry Longworth, Vice President of Research and Development, Delacorte

Industries.

He's going to have 500 of these printed in an hour, Mother.

And I just spoke to his boss in New York who says that Mr. Longworth is in fact

in town looking for a site for a new manufacturing plant. Come on, you don't

know if the person you spoke to was his boss. That could just be someone else in

on his scam.

And what kind of scam would they be pulling in Hunterville?

Skimming the bingo money away from the Kiwanis Club? Look, all I'm saying is

that this guy could be anybody.

Or anything.

He could be wanted by the FBI.

Oh, or maybe when he was five years old, he was the shooter on the grassy knoll.

So he had this tiny little rifle.

Mom, I'm trying to be serious, honestly.

Honey, you've got to learn how to trust people once in a while.

Yes, okay, but... If he's a businessman, then why would he be staying here

instead of in a hotel?

And why would his company want to build a manufacturing plant here instead of

someplace closer to their main office? It doesn't make any sense. Enough.

Mr. Long gave three months in advance, and you know we need the money for the

mortgage. Besides, he's got all the comforts of home out there, and I'm sure

we'll probably never even see him.

Fine. I just want to say that I don't like it, okay?

I'm going to watch it. Leave him alone, Zach.

He made it very clear that he wants his privacy, which, by the way, is why he

decided to take our room out there and not stay in a hotel.

Come on.

And Nellis is just an Air Force base.

Nellis?

Nellis. Nellis, Area 51.

Hello? Hello?

You can be very naive sometimes, Mother.

Lieutenant, you got a minute?

Sure, what do you got?

Statements on the Lowry disappearance.

He never made it to work yesterday, just dropped out of sight.

Hey, you know we gotta wait at least 48 hours before we move on a missing

person. Well, we didn't hope he'd probably get tired of the rat race and

off to the Caribbean.

It's possible, but the timing doesn't jive. You see, he was about to close on

big escrow yesterday afternoon, according to my sources, and a rather

bonus for Lowry.

Okay.

Got my attention.

Keep on?

Check.

Hey, Mr. Dayton.

Hey, Zach.

You've got to be more careful with that thing, man.

Are you my mom?

Oh, yeah, listen to her. She's a smart lady.

How's your mom doing these days?

She's fine. She's trying to adjust, I guess.

How about you?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen, whether both of you ever need anything or you just want to talk, I'm

there for you, all right?

Hey,

you understand?

Yeah, just finished. What's up?

Hating Cosmos for lunch?

Always. Cool.

So then his coat opens up a little bit, and I can see inside what he's got.

He's packing some, like, really, really bizarre -looking gun.

What, you mean like an Uzi? No, no, not like, like, like bizarre, like... I've

never even seen anything like it before. I couldn't even describe it. Like, I

have the picture on my... What?

What's the matter?

Longer than his body.

What? That's them. That's who I was talking about. Come on.

Dude, I'm not finished with my pizza.

Come on.

Did you see that right there?

See what?

That green light?

No, I must have missed it.

You didn't see that? No.

Are you sure they came down here? I don't know. I thought they did.

All right, you know, I'm going to go back and finish my lunch, man.

You can't just leave, man. They came down here. Zach, there's nobody down

man. Come on.

Honey, I'm listening. No, you're not. You're not listening, listening.

Sweetie, I don't think that Mr. Longworth is a kidnapper. I didn't say

kidnapper. Well, I haven't ruled that out, but all I'm saying is I think he's

involved in something really weird or maybe illegal.

Zach, do yourself a favor and give these crazy theories a rest. They're not so

crazy if you just stop and think about them for a second.

You said the same thing when you tried to convince us that there was a three

-headed troll living in your closet. Come on! I was six years old then. I

but you still believe in the boogeyman, except he's moved from your closet to

the apartment in the backyard.

Fine. Fine.

Thanks for all your support. Zach!

Honey, I'm kidding.

Oh, hey, Frank.

Elizabeth Andrews.

Who's last person to share?

Not certain.

She left the office around noon for lunch and never made it to the

Now, Mrs. Johansson over at the mini -mart says she thinks she saw her

to that guy who's staying with the Hennigers.

Harry Lauer?

Yeah, that's him.

Hmm. Anything new on Mr. Lauer?

Still MIA.

So that makes it two.

Coincidence, or have we got ourselves a problem here? Well, somehow I don't buy

Hunterville as a target for a kidnapper or a serial killer.

Hey, people can go postal in any size town.

Well, I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for all of it.

Anyway, I'm going to check out this Longworth. You keep on Lowry, all right?

I keep this? You got it. Great, thanks.

Everyone on Hunterville is very excited about your company opening a new plant

here. Well, Mr. Coghlan, it's not a done deal yet, but I am hopeful.

Now, do you think there's going to be a problem to get the city council to

rebuild that parcel of land that we just looked at?

Between you and me, Mr. Longworth, I don't think it's going to be any problem

all. Whoa!

Oh, Frank!

I'd like you to meet Mr. Longworth. He's here to tell us... See if Hunterville

is the right place for a new manufacturing plant. I know.

Detective Frank Dayton, how are you? Nice to meet you, Detective.

Likewise.

Um, well, could you excuse us? I have to talk to Mr. Longworth. Oh, of course.

Yeah, that's fine.

I've got to get back to the office anyway.

All right, uh, Mr. Longworth, I'll let you know how things go from our end.

Thank you.

Thanks very much, Frank. See ya.

Um, why don't we take a walk?

Fine with me.

I understand you're staying at Nancy Henninger's place. Yes, it's a nice

house. And she's a nice lady.

Is there a point you're trying to make, detective?

She suffered a lot the past few months.

And you want to make sure that I behave myself and not cause her any more grief,

right? More or less.

Well, not to worry. All I want is a little bit of privacy and a roof over my

head.

But tell me something, detective.

What exactly happened to Mr.

Henninger?

He died in a car accident.

He and Nancy were out driving through the woods about 10 miles outside of

Car went into a skid, crashed into a tree.

Must have hit a patch of black ice or something.

And they were both in the car?

Steve was killed, but Nancy was thrown clear.

Oh, lucky lady.

If you go losing your husband lucky, then I guess she is.

Well, like I said, I will treat Mrs. Henninger with nothing but respect.

Was there anything else?

As a matter of fact, there was.

Does she look familiar?

Not really.

Should she?

She didn't make it home last night. She was seen talking to you yesterday.

Well, there was a woman that I asked directions from.

What do you think happened to her?

Probably spending the weekend with her boyfriend.

You gonna be in town with him? As long as it takes to get the job done.

Well, take care.

Always do.

You know what we want.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What are you guys doing?

Scott,

we've got to get out of here.

We've got to take him with us.

Are you sure about this?

I mean, isn't this like breaking and entering?

What are you talking about? We own that apartment.

It used to be my room. Yeah, I know, but... Look, I'm going to check it out.

If you don't want to, stay here.

is used to a cold climate.

Yeah, that's perfect.

I hope rent doesn't include utilities.

Hey, what exactly are we looking for?

Anything.

Hey.

Here's a briefcase.

Okay.

H .L. Harry Long.

Yeah, no, H .L. could also stand for Herb Lowry.

Was that that guy from the bank?

You know, um, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I heard my dad talking.

Yeah? Mr. Lowry hasn't been seen in a few days.

What, was he kidnapped?

They don't know what happened to him. Are you serious?

Yeah.

Well, then, if this is his, then this could be proof that Harry Longworth and

his partner are kidnappers. Nah, nah, you don't know that. You might be

the... Okay, what are you doing?

Does it look like I'm doing it? No, we need evidence.

You're gonna break the...

You broke the lock. Yeah, I broke it, man.

Okay, you have to admit that's pretty suspicious, right?

What? It's empty.

Yeah, why would someone be walking around with an empty briefcase?

I don't know.

We better put it back.

Hey, check it out.

What is that?

I don't know.

But it looks exactly like that stuff from the alley.

Hey, um... Can you give this to your dad?

Like... Have him send it to a lab or something? Yeah, no problem.

That's him.

We gotta go.

What the hell was that?

What? That glow.

The computer?

Get in here. The door was locked. Oh, a locked door is not much of an obstacle

if you're motivating.

Right, Sam?

Oh, by the way, I found this extra key in my apartment.

But I think I'll hang on to it, you know, just in case I lock myself out.

Oh.

I used to read books like this when I was your age.

I always fantasized that I was this great detective, so I would spy on my

family.

But one day, my father caught me eavesdropping on one of his phone calls.

Now, it was completely innocent, but you didn't screw around with my dad.

A new thing has its price.

Why don't you get some sleep?

I appreciate the information, but I don't think you should

be getting involved. What if Longworth has something to do with it? The guy is

living in my house. Don't you think you're blowing this all out of

No, he's really scary, okay?

I looked him up. There's no Mr. Longworth listed in New York City. A lot

people are unlisted. Okay, fine. That's fine. But tonight, he just broke into my

room. And he was shining around this really weird scanner thing.

I am sure there's an explanation, Zach.

Not this.

What are these?

Look.

What is it?

I don't know what it is.

That one came from Harry Longwood's apartment.

And this one?

This one came from that alley where he was talking to that girl.

I had to scrape it off my shoe.

Is she missing also?

I'm not at liberty to say.

Fine. Can you have these analyzed or something? Can you send them to a lab?

Zack, the nearest lab is 30 miles away, and they're probably backed up for

months. Then what am I supposed to do?

All right, here's how we play it.

You stay out of Longworth's hair, and you let me handle the investigation, all

right?

We are going to check him out. Sure, absolutely.

I'll look into it.

What are you doing?

What's going on?

What's happening?

Hey.

Hey.

You need some help?

Sure. You can pick up the trimmings.

Honey, be careful of the thorns.

I remember your father once saying that roses were one of God's contradictions.

Beautiful to look at, but dangerous if you got close.

He could be a real poet once in a while.

He's crazy sometimes.

I really feel like he's around, watching us or something.

Honey.

Mom.

I don't want the same thing to happen to you. Oh.

What do you mean? There's some really strange things that are going on right

now, and this guy moved in. It's crazy. Zach, please, I don't want to hear any

more. Mom, I'm not making this up.

Do you know there's a guy from the bank who's disappeared?

Mr. Lowry is his name, and he's disappeared, and there's a woman, too,

It's on the front page of today's newspaper.

Are you serious?

Mm -hmm.

Well, then you know what I'm talking about.

I know that I have a son with an overactive imagination.

Come on. Zach, honey, you're not going to lose me.

That's a promise.

Morning.

Morning. I was wondering, could you spare a cup of coffee?

No problem.

I'll put on another pot.

How are you, Zach?

Fine, thanks.

It is a beautiful day.

Perfect conditions to ride your motorbike.

That's not a bad idea.

I think I'll stick around.

Got some things to do.

I got a call a while ago. They want us to accelerate.

Accelerate? We're going as fast as we can.

Did you happen to mention that the local rag ran a cover story on the people of

Hunterville disappearing?

They knew about it already, of course.

My instructions are to complete our mission as quickly as possible and get

The faster we do this, the greater the chance that we will be discovered.

They're aware of the potential for collateral damage, but it's obviously

designated as a foothold.

Now, what about the kid?

It's only a matter of time.

Look, do they know exactly how many targets there are?

There's no way of knowing for certain, but the guess would be...

Twenty. They asked if we needed more help. No.

That'll just draw more attention. I think our best plan is to double our

and then get the hell out of Dodge.

Well, if it'd make you feel any better, there's a team working in Denver. They

have over a hundred targets.

Go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay. Got it.

They spotted two potential targets. One's trying to catch a plane in half an

hour. We have to move fast. Who's the other?

That's her.

Let's bomb her downtown.

I think it's time to take her out.

I'll grab her ticket in the warehouse. I'll handle the guy at the airport.

a map in the paper.

Sorry, Zach.

Sorry, take it easy.

I just came by to see your mother. The door was unlocked.

Is everything all right? No, no, no, no.

Longworth and his partner just left. I think they're going after my mom. Whoa,

whoa. What are you talking about? I just heard them talking on my transmitter,

and they were talking about their mission and how their leader wants them

accelerate their process.

Process? What process? I don't know, but I think that it has to do with

kidnapping, well, abducting people and turning them into aliens.

Aliens? Now, hold on a second. Because I went out to his room, and I found this

suitcase. with tubes full of that green stuff that I showed you when one of them

had a snake inside of it. A snake?

No, it wasn't a snake, but it looked like it was... I think it was some sort

alien that they shoved down people's throats and then it turns them into

I mean, I don't know, but I can go out and show you. No, no, no. We don't have

time for that.

Stop.

Think.

Do you have any idea where Longworth is now?

Um, they said their next target was downtown.

I think it's my mom. Her name was on this list that I found in his room.

Let's go.

Zach. Zach.

Zach.

Is this the place where you saw Longwood? Yeah, no.

I thought I saw him come in here, and the goo was right here. Calm down. Just

calm down.

Maybe he went through one of these doors.

Yeah, um... On the radio, they said something about a warehouse.

I remember from when I was a beat guy.

Hold on, hold on.

It's over here.

This could be it. Go on.

You're one of them?

No one ever said you weren't smart, Zack.

Wait. Look, you don't have to kill me.

I can just go away and I'll forget all of this, I swear.

Mr. Dayton, it's me. It's Zach.

I'm your son's best friend, Josh.

You know Josh, right? He's your son.

We can do this in the parkway. It is up to you.

Look, I know there are many like you who think that they can resist.

You tell me who they are.

I keep telling you, I don't know.

Your species is so arrogant.

But you have underestimated us.

We will not rest until we have wiped all of you off the face of the planet.

Leave her alone!

I don't think... Sam.

Let me explain. No, I know all of you! about you. I heard you talking to your

friend. I bumped your apartment.

You're trying to convert humans into aliens?

That is not what is going on here.

Don't listen to him, Zach. He's dangerous. He'll kill us both.

Zach, you're not going to kill me. Get back. Get back.

I'm not going to let you take over my mom like you took over all those other

people. I am not taking over anyone.

You're lying.

Your whole thing's a lie. I know you don't work for Delacorte Industries.

right. I work for the government.

You just said

Not me. Her.

You're crazy.

Zach, untie me. Look, Zach, I know this is hard for you to believe, but that is

not your mother. That is an alien. Shut up! Zach, believe me. I am telling you

this. I swear to God I'll shoot you. Zach, I'll prove it.

You did the only thing you could.

No. Don't give her the gun. Give me the gun.

No.

Dad!

Mom.

Damn, Hunter.

I hoped to wait until you got a little early for your conversion.

But under the circumstance, I think the time is now.

You won't feel a thing.

I'm sorry, Zach.

I know it's a shock.

The aliens got to your mother and they killed your father.

Your parents weren't in a car accident.

Harry wanted to tell you, but we couldn't risk your mother finding out.

That was their cover story.

He died trying to save your mom.

You're lucky it didn't get to you.

I killed Mr.

Longworth.

He knew the risks.

I'll get a team in here to sanitize the area.

In the meantime, you and I need to talk.

you first

what's

this all about orders from the home world they don't take kindly to those

discovered their presence so you're just going to kill me right here you can't

do that can't i i'm a cop you jumped me we struggled you died happens all the

time

It's unfortunate your friend, Mr. Longworth, won't be here to help you.

That is unfortunate.

Well, luckily, I've got a new partner.
