All language subtitles for Resident Alien.S04E09_Track03

- Previously
on "Resident Alien"...

- We gotta put
a stop to this thing.

It sounds like this
Mantid's planning on turning

Old Mining Days
into an all-you-can-eat buffet.

- Ahh!

[gasps]

- This is so unfair.

Sahar's at the festival
helping Harry kill the Mantid.

I'm the only one that
can actually see aliens.

- Hi, I'm Robert,
Peter Bach's son.

- Your father is alive.

Remember way back when Max said
the new town doctor is an alien

and you threatened
to throw him in jail?

- Fill 'er up?

- Hi.

Max? Max!

- Now that you're all here,

it's time
that we come out with this.

Harry is an alien.

- Just so we're clear,
I still don't trust you.

- You just need to get over
yourselves and work together.

- We'll try to lure
it into the mine.

Once we bait the Mantid
into the elevator,

we gonna fry it
with electricity.

- Max, just in time.

Harry's about to go
into the mine.

- I see it.

Deputy Liv is the Mantid.

- [groaning]

[suspenseful music]

- Jed Calhoun,
you OK in there?

- Not great, Biddy.

- Well, you set tight now.

We got 58 people out here,
plus me, gonna get you out.

- 59 people to save one miner?

- Yep.

- Oh, that's too many
people jammed in one tunnel.

It's not safe.

Get them out of there.

It's gonna collapse.

[tunnel rumbling]

- [screaming]

* *

- Biddy!

[coughs]

Way too many people.

[Brown Bird's "Bilgewater"]

[laid-back acoustic strumming]

[soft music]

- Humans lived in caves
for thousands of years,

until they came
out into the light

and invented things like beach
volleyball and skin cancer.

But to change and grow,
sometimes humans have to go

back into the darkness again.

I will come out of this
darkness changed,

or maybe not come out
at all, which would be sad.

I saved half of my pizza
from last night,

and I could have just
finished the whole thing.

Your deputy said she followed
a smoking man in here.

I do not smell smoke.

- Yeah, well,
Deputy Liv is no liar.

So if she says she
saw a smoking man,

she saw a smoking man.

Maybe your nose is off.

- My nose is on.

And it is sucking.

[sniffs]

All I smell is your fear,
like rotten fruit and garbage.

- My fear doesn't have a smell,
because I don't have fear.

Hell, if somebody was born
without fear scent glands,

I could donate mine to them,
because mine never get used.

- [sniffing]
Wait.

Did you step in,
uh, raccoon poop?

- You know what?
I might have.

Yep.

- Yeah, that is it.

Well.

- OK.

[exhales]

We might need to split up.

- Yes.

I will go this way.

You go back
to the entrance and wait.

- What? The hell I will.

- You can play with
your phone if you want.

- That's a no go, alien doc.

I need to lure that thing
into my electrified

mine shaft elevator trap.

- [laughs]

It will kill you before
you get to electrif--

- Oh, really?

- I am the only one who is
capable of killing a Mantid.

- Oh, yeah?
How many have you killed?

- With my hands
or with weapons?

- Either.
- Well.

I would have to count.

- How long would that take?

- [stammering]

It's not long.

How about you?

- About the same.

- Fine.

It is a tie.

- Fine.
Then we'll work together.

- Fine.

- I'll slow it down
with the shotgun,

and then you finish it off.

- Now we just have to decide
which one of these tunnels

to take.
- All right.

Yeah, together.

Together is best.

The truth of the matter is,
we come up against that

head-eating son of a bitch
up in here, it's probably

gonna take both of us to--

[tense music]

* *

Damn it.

- Hey.

Go ahead.
Tell her what you saw.

- The Mantid is Deputy Baker.

I saw it going into the mines.

- Liv.

- It must have shapeshifted
into her at some point.

- I have to go
in and warn Harry.

- Absolutely not.

It is too dangerous.

Um-- OK.

You two stay put.

I'm gonna circle around from
the south entrance shortcut.

There's a hole in the fence.

Teenagers used to go
through to party in there.

Forget I said that.

OK. Never party in there.

Or anywhere.

Make good choices.

- Let's go.

- What?

There's a shapeshifting
alien in there.

It's too dangerous.
I can't go in.

You can't either.

- I have to.

- Max!

Please don't die.

- Hey, all right.

Next up, our three-time winner
of the Hairiest Leg Competition

sponsored by her
third-grade class.

You know her.

You love her,
Charmaine Townley.

[applause]
- Ben.

Ben, have you seen Max?
- No, isn't he with you?

- No.

He was, but he jumped out
of the car at the gas station.

- Now, see?

This is why I keep wanting
money in the budget

for a deputy mayor.

I've got too much going on
to run this town by myself.

[chuckles]

Oh.

Wow! Half an inch.

Even longer than last year.

I dare say, by next winter,
you'll be sledding in shorts.

[cheers and applause]

- It's Max.

He went into the mine
after Harry.

The Mantid's in there.

[tense music]

* *

- Harry!

- Max?

- Deputy Baker is the Mantid.

She went in here.

She must be down one
of these tunnels.

- This is bad.

Thank you for telling me.

It was brave.
Now run!

- No!

I want to help.

Why does everyone keep
telling me I can't.

- Because you are a child.

Yes, you are tall.

And yes, in the evenings,
you smell like a dead animal,

but a child.

Plus, your father would
be mad if I let you die.

I will never hear
the end of his whining.

- Max, are you in here?

Max!

- Hear that whining?

That's the voice that
will haunt my dreams.

Go to him.

Now!

You have done all you can here.

Although you could have
brought me a churro.

Now go.

Go!

[tense music]

* *

- Oh, yay.

Dr. Vanderspeigle,
there you are.

I got totally lost, and the
Mantid is here somewhere.

Have you seen the sheriff?

- Boo!

Boo, you are a bad actor!

I know you are the Mantid.

And no one even had to tell me.

Son of a bitch!

- Good.
I hated being that one.

"Oh my God.

Aliens are so cool."

Well, now you are one, honey.

Enjoy.

Anyway, I was gonna kill you
and the idiot sheriff together.

But now I'll have to do
it one at a time.

- No.

It is you who will
die one at a time.

- Well, there's only one of me.

So--

- Well, then I guess
I will kill you twice.

- You couldn't even do it once.

You ran away like
a little bitch.

- Well, I'm not
the same weak human

that you faced the last time.

You are looking at a powerful,
yet emotionally

available, alien.

- The one I tricked
with free pizza.

- Yeah.

Too bad for you,
I've already eaten.

- [snarling]

- Get away from her, alien.

I knew it.

I knew your ass was
working with the Mantid.

- He is the Mantid.

Shoot him.
- What?

No!
She's wrong.

She is the Mantid.

She stole my Manticide.

- Shoot him.

- Shoot her.

- You know me, Mike.

And you've never trusted Harry.

Not since you first met him
and said he walked funny.

- That is very mean.

- You know, the truth hurts.

[tense music]

* *

- Wait!

- No!
[gunshot]

- Time to go up?

Is it time to go up?

Where's Mommy, Daddy?

Where's Auntie Asta?

Are they in your tummy?

Are they in your nose?

[babbling]

[baby cooing]

Are they having fun?

[gunfire]

- [gasps]

[gasps]

[gunshot]

[tense music]

- Come, come.

- Well, look at you,
Sheriff Big Balls.

[gunshot]

- Where's my deputy?

- How did you
know I wasn't her?

- Because the real
Deputy Liv would

never address me as "Mike."

She calls me "sir."

She has too much respect
for the hierarchy of rank.

- And you never really said
that I had a funny walk.

- No, I did say that.
I can't even walk behind you.

It is very odd.

I don't know how to explain it.

Where is she?
Where is Deputy Liv?

- You mean
Schrodinger's deputy.

Aw.

I don't want to ruin
the surprise.

[gunfire]

- What is wrong with my walk?

- Who the hell is Schrodinger?

Is that the kid that played
the piano on the "Peanuts"?

- No, it meant the concept
in quantum physics

where, until we see Deputy Liv,
she is both alive

and dead at the same time.

- OK, well, I choose alive.

Who would choose dead?

- I think it meant
it as a joke.

- OK, well, it wasn't funny.

- It's edgy.
- I don't like edgy comedy.

I'm more observational.

You know, like airline food and
how people walk and whatnot.

[gun clicks]
- What?

- All right, come on, let's go.
Get that.

Get that.
Come on.

[tense music]

- I walk normally.

I-- see?

I-- I walk--

I walk normally!

- Max?

Where are you?

- I still don't see how he
snuck away with you

right there at the pump.

- I wasn't at the pump.

I had the guy do it.

- You used full-service?

- Don't start.
I mean it.

- Mom, Dad!
- Max.

Oh my God.

Oh, you're OK.
- I'm sorry.

- Buddy, you scared us.

OK, let's go.

We have to get out of here.
Come on.

- No.

I just came to get my taser.

- What? No.

- Harry needs me.

The Mantid is a shapeshifter.

It could be anyone.

- Anyone?

- Really?

You think I'm a Mantid?

- I thought you could
pump your own gas.

What do I know?
- Oh, my God.

- It's neither of you.

And I would know since
I can see aliens.

- All right.

- I'm the only
one who can help.

Get it?

- We get that you are our son.

That's what we get.

Now come on.

- No.
- Yes.

You come with us right now.
Or--

- No allowance.

- When the government hires
me because I can see aliens,

I won't need an allowance.

- OK, well, then--

no bike riding, OK?

Your bike's ours now.
- Yeah.

I'll ride it to work.
Thanks for the bike.

- I'm pretty sure
they'll hire me a driver.

- So what do we do now?

- I don't know.

The threats were
our only parenting tool.

OK.

But we're coming with you.
- Yes.

- Mom.
That's so embarrassing.

- Shh.

Oh, hon, there is a spider
right by your head.

- What?

[screaming]

[breathing heavily]

I'm keeping this.

I like it.

- Asta?

Are you in here?

- Dad?

Dad, where are you?

- Come back.

This is a mistake.

- No, it's not.

I have to help Harry.

You go back.

- You can't
do this on your own.

You're not strong enough.

- Yes, I am.

Wait.

My dad would never say that.

You're the Mantid!

- Asta?

- [gasps]

D'arce?

D'arce, the Mantid is here!

- I'm lost.

- Is it really you?

- Yes.

How can you abandon me here,
you selfish asshole?

- Shut up.

Shut up. Show yourself!

[gasps]

- [snarling] Asta.

[dramatic music]

* *

- [screams]

- That was Asta.

Asta!

- There you are.

Liv is the Mantid!
- We know.

Did you see her?

- There you are.

Liv is the Mantid.

- Uh, no.

both: I'm not the Mantid.

She is.

- OK.

We're not doing this again.
Which is it?

- I don't know.

Why don't you ask them
about my funny walk?

both: Shoot her.
That's the Mantid.

- That one is the Mantid.

- [hissing]

[gunfire]

- No, stop shooting!

[tunnel rumbling]

- What is that?

- It's caving in.

Max, come here.

It stopped.
- All right, come on.

Let's go get that sumbitch.

Come on, come on!

Before it gets away.

Come on!

Come on. Follow me.

Be careful.

These rocks just fell.

All right, come on.

- This is an older cave system.

I would not suggest shooting
that gun in these caves.

- Careful, Max.

- Ow!

- Kate, where are you?

- [screams]

[breathing heavily]
- Oh, God.

Whoa.

Harry, you were right.

Look.

"JC."

- Is that Jesus?

- No.

It was Jed Calhoun,
the lost miner.

59 died to save one.

- [snarling]

- [shouts]

- Harry!

[dramatic music]

* *

- Oh!

- [grunting]

* *

- Harry, watch out!

- [shrieks]

- I can't shoot him.
I don't have a clear shot!

- I'll use my phone light.

Damn it.

- [groans]

* *

- Where are you going?

- [shrieks]
- [laughs]

- [screams]

- Oh!

- [growls]

* *

- [snarling]

* *

- [screeching]

- [grunting]

- Yeah, Mom!

Finish it off!
- [screams]

[panting]

- [wheezing, coughing]

- Asta.

Are you OK?

- Mm-hmm.

I'm good.

[sighs]

- [grunts]

[tense music]

* *

- Oh, my God.

- Don't get too cocky now.

I was about to die anyway.

You just made it more fun.

- [scoffs]

- Where's my deputy,
you son of a bitch?

And why are you
still being her?

- So you know what she'll
look like when she dies.

- When she dies?
You hear that?

That means she's still alive.

- Yes.

For now.

[tense music]

* *

[cocoon squishing]

* *

- What the hell?

[gasps]

[mysterious music]

* *

- It's really not that bad.

I could have just gone to the
medical tent at the festival.

- No, no, no.
This is good.

We have the place to ourselves.

At the tent, they make you
write down how you got injured.

And I never know
if "Mantid" is capitalized.

- God.

I can't believe that
you have been doing stuff

like today just every day.

And-- and you haven't
been able to tell anyone?

[sighs]

- Well, not every day.

Some days, a lot.

OK, most.

But, you know,
I take stuff to sleep.

- Oh, God.
Can I have some?

- Yes.

Oh, that is definitely
a sprained ankle.

OK, roll up the sock here.

Hold that.
I'll be right back.

- OK.

- I have to get a wrap.

- Ooh.

- Oh, God.

What?

[tense music]

* *

- Yep. Thank you.

Bye.

OK.

I called Liv's husband,
John, to come in.

And where did you find
those mini donuts?

- In the mayor's desk.

- Damn, he told me the vending
machine wasn't restocked.

As soon as we find
Deputy Liv, I'm gonna

call for his impeachment.

- If husband John can
tell us where she went,

then we can find the Mantid's
egg sac and end this.

- No, no.

We find Liv, then the egg
sac, in that order.

- It is the same order.

The Mantid said it
was already dying,

which means that it
had completed its life

cycle and its mission.

To mate.

- Are you telling me that
thing mated with my deputy?

- I do not know.

But the eggs take
two weeks to gestate,

so there is still
time to save her,

and to buy a nice gift
for her alien baby shower.

I'm getting a breast pump.

- I tried to call you.

- I was in a mine shaft.

You OK?

- I found Agent Gardner.

- You found Jules?

Is she alive?

- [laughs]

Oh, God, no.

And I have seen dead
bodies before, Mike.

You know that I have
seen dead bodies before.

But this was-- this.

Oh my God.

Her abdomen was--
was open like nesting dolls

and, uh, goo and webbing.

- Oh, that's not good.
- No.

No it's not.

Does it seem like I'm putting
a positive spin on it?

- The empty abdomen?

That is where the egg
sac would have been.

So it was Agent Gardner
the Mantid impregnated,

not Deputy Eeyore.

- Well, that's a good
thing at least.

- Yes, it is good that
the deputy was not impregnated.

Mantid postpartum depression
is a very real thing.

- Yeah, no shit.

I'm gonna have
it for years now.

- [laughs]
That's edgy.

- Oh, I'm so sorry, Mike.

- Sorry about what?

- All of it.

Aliens.

[chuckles]

Nothing else could
have done this.

And I should have believed you.

Jules might still be alive.

And now we have
to kill all the aliens.

- Hey!

Watch it, sister.

- Oh, uh, yeah.

Um-- he's one.

- [sighs]

Hi.

- Listen, uh, I'm glad
that you believe me.

But right now, we need
to find Deputy Liv.

Now, if he didn't
need her to mate,

why else would he
keep her alive?

- I have a theory, but you're
not going to like it.

[mysterious music]

[cocoon squishing]

- Robert.

Robert.

Hey.

[whistling lightly]

[blowing raspberries]

Wake up!

- Are-- are we
in your storage unit?

- Yeah.

I keep a giant sac
of Mantid babies.

You know, in case I run out.

- Whoa.

How'd that happen?

- The last thing I remember
is that Jules, the Mantid one,

followed us back to the storage
place and attacked us.

This thing, I have no idea.

- I do.

The Mantid are a parasitoid
species, meaning they

lay their eggs in a host body.

And when they hatch,
they use that body for food.

- OK?

- These eggs aren't
in a body anymore.

So when the hungry
Mantid babies hatch,

their food will have to be--

- Us.

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

* *

- Sheriff, I got your message
and came fast as I could.

Have you heard from Liv?
- Not yet.

But we're gonna find her.
I guarantee it.

- You should not guarantee it.

- I guarantee it 100%.

- Detective Torres.

Did your wife tell you where
she was going the last time

you spoke to her?
- Yeah.

She said she was going to take
Robert, the alien tracker's

son, to our storage
unit to hide him

from the secret
government agents,

because he thought hybrid
humanoid aliens were

following him.

- That's weird.

She never mentioned
having a storage unit.

- That is literally the least
weird thing in that sentence.

- We got it when I had enough
of her filling up the garage.

I'm more of a toss-it-out
guy, but Liv--

- You can talk about
your hoarder wife later.

Tell us where the storage
unit is before your wife

gets eaten by space bugs.

- What?
- Just go.

Go, go, go, go.
- I'll fill you in in the car.

Come on.

- Asta?

[tense music]

Everything OK in there?

* *

Asta?

* *

Oh, my God.

Asta, Asta.

[gasping]

Asta, wake up.

Asta. Asta.

- All right.

Now, John, when you open
that door, I gotta warn you.

We don't know what we're
gonna find in there.

- Tell him about Schrodinger.
- No.

- From "Peanuts"?

- Just open it and get back.

All right?

[door clanking]

[tense music]

- She kept the croquet set?

We never played it once.
- Damn.

That's a bad lead.

So what are we
supposed to do now?

- If he does not want it,
I will take the croquet set.

- The cameras were shut off,
but we're in the right place.

- How do you know?

You find an alien
fingerprint or something?

- Sort of.
The security guard has no head.

- Oh my God.
- OK.

So we know we're
in the right place.

We just gotta figure out
what unit they're in.

All right, come on, y'all.

Let's go.

[tense music]

* *

- [grunts]

- I called Harry.

He's not picking up.

- Well, the black stuff
in her veins has gone down.

That's probably good.

- Yeah, I couldn't see
much during the fight.

But I think that's where
the Mantid grabbed her.

- Maybe she got
some kind of poison?

- Yeah.

Well, he won't be poisoning
anyone else anytime soon.

Kate zapped the crap
out of him with a taser.

- Well, Harry crushed his head
with that miner's pickaxe.

Did Ben tell you we found
Jed Calhoun, the missing miner?

Probably gonna be on the news.

- Yeah, well, just that part,
not the Mantid.

Harry sent that
through a space portal

to something called
the Galactic Housing Council?

- We sang "Wheels on the Bus."

- Nice.

- Deputy, you in here?

- Liv!

Honey!

- Liv?

OK, OK.
We gotta split up.

John, you come with me.

- Ooh.

I'm getting worried
about the time.

- Me too.

If those eggs
hatch and multiply,

the council will blame me and
then throw me in the acid pit!

- Hey!

I don't care about
no damn council.

All I care about is
getting my deputy back.

So you use whatever
freaky alien powers

you have to make
that happen, or

you get the hell out of my way,
because I'm not losing her.

Do you understand?

- You did not let me finish.

They will throw me
in the acid pit.

And then I will not be
able to save the deputy.

There, I'm done.

- I feel like you just added
that so I wouldn't be mad.

But I'm too angry to be mad.

Alien asshole.

So now what?
We gonna split up again?

- Harry.

This way.
Hurry.

- Asta?

- What?

- It is this way.
- Wait.

How do you know?

And why do you look like
you've seen a ghost?

- Because Asta's dying.

- What do you mean,
Asta's dying?

- I think her soul is
trying to leave her body.

She is between life and death.

- How did she find you?

- I cannot explain it
without doing a jingle dance.

She's part of everything now.

I have to leave to stop
this from happening.

- OK, look, man.

I get it, all right?

When my mom died, at that exact
moment, I felt her come to me

and tell me to take
care of my dad, OK?

I believe it.

But I don't know
what we gonna be up

against when I find my deputy.

And you're
the strongest guy here.

That's--
that's just a fact, OK?

So I need you.

- Go.

Help him.

Save Liv.

Save everyone.

- All right.

For you.

- Wow.

For me?
Thanks, man.

I mean, I was just
speaking from the heart.

I'm just trying
to keep it real with--

- Not for you.

- Not for me?

I thought you just
said it was for me.

You gotta make up
your mind, man.

You're playing
games with my heart.

- [sniffling]

God, I hate this.

I never like crying.

Something that
alcohol was good for

is keeping those
feelings way, way down.

These days, I'm like
a tear fountain.

There's probably
enough vodka in there

to serve a wedding reception.

Plus, there's plenty
of drugs in here

to help numb the feelings.

But I really want
that 30-day chip.

It's a perfect thickness to
help our table stop wobbling.

That was a joke.

Apparently,
that's another thing I do,

use humor to cover up my fears.

I'm learning so much, yay.

[somber music]

It's just different seeing
you like this, needing help.

* *

I remember the first time,
one of the only times, I--

I ever saw you admitting
you got hurt was when you

got hit in the head
with that dodgeball

that Katie Murtha threw?

Remember her?

Jesus.

She got held back
a grade, and her parents

were German, so she was
the size of a prison guard.

[sniffles]

So I knew that
ball really hurt.

You hated needing anyone.

You hated everyone
fussing over you.

* *

I never had that problem.

But you know that.

* *

But I need you to take
care of you now.

* *

Do what you need to do.

Just live.

[sniffles]

Just live, OK?

* *

[tense music]

[gasps, whimpers]

* *

Asta.

[sobs]

What is going on with you?

* *

What the hell is
going on with you?

[mysterious music]

* *

- Hey.

Did you scoot further away
from the eggs than me?

- No.

That's stupid.
Shut up.

- You did!

- OK, I'm sorry.

My survival instincts
are very high right now.

Why aren't you panicked too?

- I'm just chill.

[cocoon cracking]

- Oh, my God! Ahh! Ahh!

- Ahh! No!

[muffled screaming]

- Oh, they're in there.

Deputy! Deputy!

- Sir, we're here!

- Yeah,
and if you could hurry.

- Move!
Get out the way!

Get out the way!
- We can't move.

- Then lean.

- Do not shoot the egg sac.

The babies will scatter.

- There's one.

- Oh, oh, Jesus.

- Come back here,
you little fetus monster!

[Mantids shrieking]

- God,
this webbing's like metal.

- Livvy!

- John.
- Oh.

Lena.
You got a knife?

- Of course.

- Oh, and that's
why I love you.

Cut him loose.

- Eat shit,
you little gristle pig.

Taste the bottom of my foot.

- More of them are hatching.

- OK, you know what?

This is taking too long.

Let's just drag them out
and lock the outer door.

- Yeah, that's not gonna work.

No, they will escape.

- Well, then what are
we supposed to do?

Ooh.

[dramatic music]

[fire roaring]

[dramatic music]

* *

[chuckles]

Well, that's new.

- I accessorized.

- Dad?

- [panting]

[gentle piano music]

- Robert.

Robert.

Oh, son.

* *

- That's a robot man.
- Yes.

Yes, it is.

- Hey, where-- where's Harry?

- What's--
what's happening to her?

- The infection
from the Mantid scratch

is trying to release her
life force from her body.

- But Joseph got
mangled by the Mantid.

Why didn't that happen to him?

- Maybe because Joseph's
part alien?

- Yes.

And since I am immune too--

[exhales]

--I will transfuse
her with my blood.

- And-- and she
can survive that?

Your blood will save her?

- Yes, that.

Or kill her.

[gentle music]

* *

- Creatures of all kinds
find ways to change.

Birds were once dinosaurs.

A caterpillar
turns into a chrysalis

and comes out a butterfly.

People go into spa retreats
and come out vegetarians.

I do not want Asta to change.

I like her the way she is.

But as long as she is alive
anywhere, I will be happy.

* *

- How's she doing?

Any changes?

- She will live.

- Good.

Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm a doctor.

- Not really.

- More than you.

- Still no.

- It's in Asta's hands now.

- Yeah?

You're not worried?

- Sure I am.

I don't want her to go.

I threatened to take
Harry out more

than once if he got her hurt.

But here we are.

And my people know that we
only walk here on Mother Earth

for so long.

It's a gift, not a guarantee.

* *

When my father was dying,
he was so calm.

I figured it was
because of the morphine.

But he took my hand,
and he said,

I'm just waiting here
for my horse to come

and pick me up.

[soft music]

And then I'm going to leave.

I'm ready to go.

I am ready.

I can wish for Asta
to stay here.

She has a lot more
to do here, I think.

* *

But it's the person who's
on the edge of life who

gets to decide how it will go.

* *

- She will live.

* *

- You're a good man, Doctor.

* *

[footsteps tapping]

- How's the ankle feeling?

Maybe you should go sit.

- Yeah, I'm OK.

It's probably adrenaline.

So-- about Max.

- No, I know.

He should
have some consequences

for jumping out
of the car while you were

having someone pump your gas.

- No.

We need to admit
that he's right.

- About?

- About what he said
to me in the car today,

while I was paying
a total of 48 cents more

to not get gas on my shoes.

Look, he has a gift.

Today we watched our son save
people's lives, including ours.

- I know, right?

- Yeah.

- Same kid who's never even
finished a book report?

- Yeah.

We've been trying
to protect him and

guide him in a book
report world

when he's been
out there living--

who he is.

But he couldn't tell us who
he is because he knew that we

wouldn't let him be that.

- So again, bad parents.

- No.

No, what kind
of parents let their kid

go out fighting aliens?

- I'm just trying to keep up.

- Yeah, me too.

This shit's not
on the mommy blog.

- Yeah.

- But we are so lucky.

Today we saw him,
you know, who he is.

- Yeah.

- And we saw me.

I mean, did you see me?

- Yes.

You not even afraid
is very sexy.

- Oh, I was so afraid.

But I didn't let it stop me.

I want to live like
that all the time,

not letting fear stop me.

- I love it.

Maybe you could teach me that.

- Hey, I'm not
a miracle worker.

- Hey.

Asta's awake.

- Ooh.

- I'm so glad you did not die.

- Yeah, me too.

[chuckles]

Oh, it's like "Wizard of Oz."

Everyone I love around my bed.

Aw.

- This is the perfect time to
speak to all of you together.

Who here thinks I
have a funny walk?

No. That is not true!

That's some horseshit.

How is it funny?

- Well, I don't know.

It's kind of like
a giant toddler?

- Yeah, but like a drunk one.

- Yeah, chasing after a duck.

- A duck?

Ducks are the stupidest birds.

Everybody out!

The patient needs to rest.

Or else, you know, she'll die.

- OK.

- Try to shut up.

- Oh, Kate.

I never did your leg.

- Oh, that's-- I'm fine.

I'm gonna grab an ACE
bandage and self-medicate

like a sorority pledge.

- Please put ice on it.

- Can I put the ice
in bourbon first?

- Yeah. Even better.

- [chuckles]

- So I wanted to say to you--

- I heard you.

- You did?

- Yeah.

I heard it all.

I saw it all.

It was forwards and backwards.

It was like there
wasn't even a now.

It was just always.

It's hard to explain.

[gentle music]

But we're good.

We're so good.

- Yeah.

- Aw.
- It's coming.

Here it comes.

- OK.
- [sobs]

- I'm OK.

- I knew I would
never find Robert

by just wandering the Earth.

Plus, every time
I get wet, I glitch.

And I have to put myself
in rice.

I figured that those government
folks had kept an eye

on Robert this whole time.

- I knew it.

- So I turned on my tracker.

I let them find me.

And I made a deal.

They get me to Robert,
and I will

help them when they need me.

- Well, lucky us, because y'all
got here just in time.

- But now that you
found me, you can just

switch your tracker off again.

- Well, that wouldn't be
the right thing, Robert.

Maybe that's how other
kidnapped boys behave.

But not my son.

- Sorry, Dad.

- OK, we need to go.

I just called in the security
guard's death,

and this is about
to become a crime scene.

- Oh, well, Sheriff, Liv,
thank you for everything.

You've been true friends.

- OK, now I'm gonna cry.

- [chuckles]

- Thank you for everything.

I mean it.

- Let's go, son.

- [sighs]
- [sighs]

- So, uh, where did John go?

- Getting his golf clubs
out of the storage unit.

I knew he'd want to play again.

- [chuckles]

Well, Deputy,
you finally saw an alien.

And not in human form, but, you
know, with the whole alien body

and head and everything, huh?

Congrats.

- Congrats?

The little bastards
tried to kill me.

I don't ever want to hear
the word "alien" again.

- Damn.

OK.

- * Like a bird *

- Mmm.

I feel buzzy, and so hungry.

- That is the effect
of my blood.

- Mm, well,
thank you for your alien blood.

Which is a normal thing
to say now, I guess.

[chuckles]

- You are welcome.

- Can I have some of your pie?

* *

- No.

- OK.

You know, it was so strange.

The infection released me,
and I felt free, like flying,

untethered, like high above
everyone in their problems.

- You could just say
"like a bird," because I

would understand that.

- But more than that.

It's like I could
see their problems,

but I didn't have to fix them.

That was different.

Different for me anyway.

God, is that selfish
that I liked it?

- You are not selfish.

You are giving.

You should give
to yourself now.

- Yeah, that's what
D'arcy said too.

Maybe I should give a little
something to myself.

It's not a bad idea.

- Maybe a spa retreat.

But do not come
out a vegetarian.

That's a common thing.

- I'm glad you said that.

Not that part.

But, um,
I think to have the feeling

that I had for real,

you know, the freedom,
I need to let my heart

find where it belongs.

* *

I need to leave here.

I'm sorry.

- Don't be.

It's OK.

- It is?

- Yes.

* *

After hearing Dan talk about
how little time we have

on the planet, or any planet--

[sighs]

I need to go now.

I do not belong here anymore.

I need to be with Heather.

* *

[chuckles]

- [sighs]

We're leaving.

- [chuckles]

Time is like fire.

It can harden things
like rocks and bread

or soften them like
butter and hearts.

Not all change is the same,
but all things change.

- No.

- But it's--
- Harry, no.

Asta came close to death
to learn what she wants.

And I came trillions
of miles to Earth.

Now the threats here are gone.

We can both finally be what
our journey through fire

has made us,
who we were meant to be.

- [gasps]

They're here.

[dramatic music]
