[Jennifer] Katie!

[footsteps]

Katie, sweetie, I'm going now.

Okay.

[footsteps]

Mom, wait!

Don't look at me like that.

Mom, he's gonna feed me to the wolves.

I think I heard him on the phone

planning my funeral.

Katie, please don't, okay?

I need your support today, all right?

Can't I just go with you?

Not this time, baby.

I'll be back after lunch, okay?

Okay.

I'll call if I'm gonna be late.

Please make sure she eats.

No worries, Mom. I got this.

Mom, can you at least tell us where you're going?

Mm-mm, it's a surprise.

Bye, Mom.Bye.

See you later.Be good!

Okay, so.

Here's the deal.Oh, boy.

It's obvious the two of us can't

cohabitate together, so I've just

devised a little bit of a plan.

It's a simple plan, though, but this plan has rules.

You follow the rules, and...

everything will be "Cococabana."

Follow me.

All of this...

This...

This, plus upstairs, the bathroom, my room,

Mom and Dad's room, your room.

My room?Yeah, it's all mine.

You are a persona non grata.

And where am I supposed to go?

Stay in the backyard.

Agent David, we've been activated.

The target has been identified.

Agent David, do you copy?

We have 14 clicks to intercept the target.

Wow.

I just witnessed

the most amazing thing ever.

Did you know...

that you could get a cow patty,

Earth lettuce, Earth tomato,

anything you want, all bunched in between

two pieces of wheat for 99 cent?

We have business to take care of.Oh, and this commercial

is magical.

I mean, for an additional 99 cent,

you can get a carbonated drink, any flavor.

We have been activated.

Where are your sunglasses?

Oh. I'm always prepared.

What is that?

Oh, well, I seen

another commercial with cool--No, no, no, no, no.

Agent David,

we have business to take care of.

"No, no, no, Agent David."

Listen.

Don't call me Agent David on Earth.

Call me Agent G.

Earthlings think the letter "G" is cool.

Well, Agent G,

we have orders, and you would've known that

had you have had your eyewear attached.

Are these even intergalactical

standard issue?

Let alone, very Iowa-like--

are you trying to blow our cover?

No, look. Just relax, okay?

If any Earthlings get suspicious,

tell them that I'm from East Iowa,

or that I'm a Lady Gaga dancer.

Earthlings, 3:00.

Hide!

[Harper] You wanna play? Play what?

Aren't you hungry yet?

You're not hungry yet.

Just five more minutes.

I know I can get higher.

Even if you could,

there's no way your dad could see you.

You don't know my dad.

He can see me from anywhere.

Anywhere in the whole world.

Okay.

What?

You don't believe me?

I'm not saying I don't believe you.

I'm just saying...

if your father flies spaceships,

landed on the moon,

and saved the president...

True story!I'm just saying.

With him doing all that, he may not have time

to watch you kick a ball.

You're wrong. Like always.

So you're telling me, if you kick that ball,

your dad will see it from outer space?

That's what I'm telling you.

If I kick it high enough.

Okay, sure.

You don't believe me, do you?

Whatever you say.

Just don't kick the ball over--

I'm gonna show you.

[Harper] The fence!

Now look what you did.

Old Man Nelson's yard?

Many toys go in,

but they don't come out.

Relax.

I'll go get the crummy ball.

I'm not afraid of Old Man Nelson.

Mm-hmm.

Let's just forget about the ball.

It's no big deal.

It's my brother's ball.

Trust me,

he'll make it a big deal.

He makes everything a big deal.

Everything.

[doorbell ringing]

[doorbell ringing]

[Mr. Nelson muttering]

[doorbell ringing]

He's probably not even here.

Aah!What do you want?

Huh?

Um... Harper?

What's going on here?

N...

Nothing.

Well?

My, uh... My ball.

I was wondering if I could get

my ball from your backyard, sir.

You're the astronaut's kid,

aren't you?

Huh?

What are you doing?

I told you to play in the backyard,

dweeb magnet.

They are coming.

You tell your father, I said they're coming.

Yeah, can I text him that, or is that the kind of message

that warrants a call?

They come at night.

Yeah, yeah...I have seen them.

Mark my words!

Hey, cool hat, by the way.

Hey, you!

You've been warned!

Rotten kids.

How many times did Mom tell you

to stay away from that Area 51 nut?

He's crazy!I was just--

You were just trying to get me in trouble,

that's what you were doing.

Look, just stay out of my way, okay?

I wasn't in your way.

You kicked me out of the house, remember?

Well, now I'm kicking you back in.

Look, I got a lot going on right now, okay?

And Mom pawns it all off on me,

so I don't have time for this right now.

It's past lunch.

Mom said for you to make me lunch

if she's running late.

She's not that late to me.

Ugh!

♪♪ [upbeat game music]

♪♪ [music stutters]

Ugh...

Worst day ever.

[woman] Support line. How may I direct your call?

Customer service. Yep, I'll hold.

It's lunch. Mom said--

Not now, doofus. I'm in the middle

of something very important.

But Mom said, and if Dad was here--

Dad's not here, he's, like, a million miles away,

probably in another galaxy by now.

I'm in charge, and I said not now.

Okay, you little--We're hungry!

This way.

Why are we sitting under here?

Shh!

I have to pee.

Shh!

[Glenn, echoing] Katie!

Where is my phone?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

My phone, Katie.

I don't have your stupid phone.

I don't believe you.

But if lunch showed up on the kitchen table,

maybe, I don't know, it could, you know,

pop up?

Where's my phone?

Not a word.Harper?

He doesn't know where your phone is.

Just like we don't know when we're eating lunch.

[female voice] Hello? Hello?

Katie, your butt is talking.

Get off of me!

What on Earth is going on here?

Hi, Mom!Hey, Mom.

Couch, sit, now.

What happened?

Mom, she is the most annoying--He's been totally mean to us--

--little girl in the world----he locked me outside--

--I told her to play in----he starved us out.

the backyard and--All right, enough, enough!

Enough.

I can barely get halfway in this house

without you two trying to kill each other.

Now, come on, today is a good day,

all right?

And if you two are good, I may...

have a surprise for you guys.

Mom, did you hear anything I just said?

Do you guys want the surprise or don't you?

Does it come with pepperoni?

Not only does it come with pepperoni.

The deliveryman from outer space.

[Katie] Daddy!

Pepperoni!Hi, guys.

Oh, is it pepperoni? Is it pepperoni?

Oh, my God.Yes, it is pepperoni.

No, it's--I kn-- okay.

Let me get in the house.

Okay, hey.

What exactly did you do

at the space station this time, Dad?

Katie says you colonized Mars.

Oh, I didn't actually get to Mars this time.

But I did do

some pretty cool stuff.

I exercised.

Um, I fixed some stuff around the ship.

I did some super-secret research.

You know,

some pretty cool spaceman stuff.

Katie told the class you saw an alien again.

Glenn!Katie.

Told you she was mental, Mom.

Katie, what did I tell you about

making up stories like that?

Look, honey, she's...

not exactly wrong.

Honey, don't tell her that.

All right, guys. Living room.

Two minutes.

I have something I want to show you.

Will you two give it a rest?

Are you guys ready to see the surprise?

[Harper] Whoa.

Uh, it's a rock, Dad.

Whoa. A big rock.

Oh, this is not just a rock.

This rock...

it's from outer space.

From the moon?No, no, not from the moon exactly.

I mean, we don't think--

You don't think?

There was this meteor shower,

and we thought it hit the ship,

but when I went out to go inspect it,

it was just floating around the ship.

[Katie] So cool. Right?

That's what I thought.

Look, we had the guys over at NASA check it out,

and they said...

it's completely harmless.

But it could be from an alien planet, right?

It could be from anywhere.

Oh, honey? Don't encourage her.

Babe, no, it's true, I mean, this rock,

it could be from anywhere.

Anywhere.

Hey, Katie Bear.

I'm glad you're home, Dad.

You're the only one who understands me.

Well, it's 'cause I was a lot like you

when I was your age.

You were?Oh, my gosh.

As my imagination was going crazy,

my head was always up in the stars, and...

You know...

I never want you to lose that.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, too.

Get some sleep, okay?

Okay.

Get you in the tucked-in spot,

so that way nobody can get you.

Get some sleep.

[sighing]

[groaning]

Please tell me you're not indulging

our daughter's crazy stories.

She's nine.

That's the age you're supposed to have

crazy, wild, vivid imaginations.

I know, but...

I worry about her when you're not here.

You know?Yeah.

She sees what she wants to see,

and sometimes it can be problematic.

It's like her head remains up in the clouds.

I think she's up there looking for you.

Hmm.

Well, when I'm up there, I'm always...

trying to find you guys.

Dad!

Dad! The space rock!

It's-- it's--It's-- okay,

it's what? What, what, what?

You have to see it, you just have to!

Okay.

I'll be right back, okay?

You're not gonna entertain this, are you?

Of course I am.

Let's go.

Are you coming? It's a space rock.

What? What?

See?

What?

But...

But it was glowing just a minute ago.

Dad, I swear it was glowing.

It was probably just, like, a reflection

or the s-- I mean, it's really bright outside.

No, it was glowing.

You believe me, don't you?

Of course I believe you.

[knocking]

Someone's knocking on the window.

Honey, what is he doing?

Is he trying to break in?

I-- I-- with that flannel and bowtie?

I think he's...

probably just lost.

Um, hey.

I think that's our new neighbor.

I saw him and a lady last night.

Oh, okay.

Why doesn't he go to the door?

Door.Door.

The door?

Dad, I don't think he can hear you.

Honey, he's in my flowers. Can we do something, please?

Okay, no, I got it. Hey, go to the door.

Yes, no, hey!

The door.Door.

Okay, hey, the...

There.

Hi.Hey.

I am Dan Rosenbottom,

businessman from Iowa.

Dan Rosenbottom.

Businessman from Iowa, hi.

Hi. I moved into the multispecies cluster

across the concrete slab.

Oh. The house next door.

I moved in during yesterday's sunrise.

Well, yesterday's sunrise.

That's... uh,

I'm Chad, and this is our family.

We're the Richardsons.

[sniffing]

Very nice to meet you.

Very nice.

Uh... oh.

Dad, I think he wants you to smell his hand.

Yeah, I'm-- I'm getting that, um...

Do you guys want to do the hand smelling

in the house, maybe?

Uh, yeah, let's--

let's go inside.

[Jennifer] Yeah.

Your living quarters is plain...

with many repetitive, uninspiring patterns.

And filled with primitive trinkets.

[sniffing]

Ahh.

And you have large composite

of dead skin cells,

dried feces,

and dissected corpses of dust mites.

Nice.

Dan. Dan, is it?

Rosenbottom.

Businessman from Iowa. Right.

Dan Rosenbottom, businessman from Iowa.

How can we help you?

Why does he talk like that?

Maybe that's how they talk in Iowa.

Well, we have many fragile

transportation communication devices

that we need help carting into the lot

we purchased right next to yours.

I was wondering if I may solicit

your assistance from you.

Mom?Not now, Katie.

You know what?

We would love to help you,

but you see, my husband just got back

from a very long business trip,

and he really needs some time

to collect himself, so, um, you know,

maybe-- maybe another time,

but right now is just really

not a good time for us, sorry.

You travel?

I travel often.

Well...

We're gonna have to talk about that sometime,

for sure.

That sounds like a fun little afternoon.

My dad works for NASA.

He's the best astronaut in the whole world.

And never forget it...Like I said, though,

it's really not a good time right now,

but maybe later.

I'm not interested in your, um...

Husband?Correct.

Husband.

He's physically deteriorating

at a rate

faster than anyone else in this room.

I give him, what?

30? 35 years, tops.

Who's this? He'll do just fine.

What, what?

Something's a little weird

about this guy.

I mean, he's a neighbor.

Poor guy just needs a little help.

[doorbell ringing]Hmm.

My legacy continuance

contingency plan,

Cheyenne Rosenbottom,

student from Iowa.

[Jennifer] Okay.

Hi, legacy continuance,

nice to meet you, come on in.

Okay.

Dad, will they help us?

May we borrow your healthy one?

Yep, I'll go--I don't know.

What, Mom?

It's the neighborly thing to do.

Yeah, you don't even know what's

going on here, honey.

It doesn't matter.

Whatever it is, I will do it.

Please. Please, Dad...

Just...Um, let me...

talk to you over here real quick, honey?

Thanks.

Something doesn't seem right about this Dan from Iowa.

Mom, Dad. Last night, I saw--

Honey, I don't have time for

one of your stories right now, okay?

But Dad, it's really important.

Katie, that doesn't mean run to your father

and get another answer, okay?

We're a team here,

so no more stories, is that clear?

[Chad] Okay, tell me.

Honey, you're killing me here.

What?

Babe, look. The kid wants to do

something besides play video games.

How can I-- how can we say no to that?

But honey, I don't...

Okay, yes, Dan's weird,

but I mean, he...

seems harmless,

and I mean, the daughter seems really nice.

Just give 'em a chance, come on.

Mom?Not a word, Katie.

Dan?

The kid's all yours.

Yes.Fantastic.

Uh, where do you think you're going, Mister?

Well, you guys said that I could go with them,

so...Yes, you can help

after you eat your breakfast.

Mom, I already had breakfast, okay?

Look.

Really.

Look, I just want to help her--

I mean, help our new neighbors here.

Burning daylight, we got to go,

so...

I'll wait for him.

I mean, if that's okay.

Do not be later than nine clicks.

We have much manual labor to be completed,

to finish our task.

It was nice meeting you.

Oh, pfft-- pleasure's all mine.

Yeah, that-- definitely nice--

nice meeting...

[sniffing]All right, yeah, it was--

Okay, self-five.--nice to meet you, too, Dan.

All right, well.

Dan...

Rosenbottom, it was, uh...

Businessman from Iowa.

That's right, yeah, we got that one.

Kitchen, eat, please?

Thank you.I'm gonna go, uh,

eat some-- eat some breakfast.

[Katie] Glenn?

I'm kinda busy now, beat it.

Oh, gotta do laundry more often.

Armpit bombs?

Real mature, Glenn.

Go away.

Listen, last night, I saw Mr. Rosenbottom

carry a huge metal container

into the house all by himself.

I'm sure he doesn't need your help.

Okay, so he works out. So what?

You don't understand.

That space rock Dad brought home yesterday?

I saw it glowing, I saw it!

I'm pretty sure you didn't see that.

Can you just stop being you for five seconds

and listen to me? Please?

Fine.Really?

♪♪ [soft piano]

Yeah. You're my little sister.

I can give you five minutes.

Say what you have to say.

I think-- [record scratching]

Okay. Later.

[sighing]Go.

My dad can be a little strange.

I apologize.

No, he seems totally cool.

Hmm, really?

Who's she?

New girl moved in next door.

She's a dime piece.

She's trouble.

[Glenn] That's it?

That is it.

Does the labor for this task

surpass your own capabilities?

What did he just say?

It's stupid, I know.

It's just, my dad's been moving stuff all night.

He's pretty tired.No. It's cool.

I'll get it.You will?

Yeah. No biggie.

All right, now what?

When did you say you guys moved in?

Last night. I know it's a little messy,

but tonight I--No, it's...

it's amazing.

Just you two did all this?

Yeah.

The artwork? Furniture?

It's awesome.

Is he insulting us?

Where did you want me to put this?

I will escort you.

Right this way.

Just sit this down anywhere?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

I'd be honored, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am, I'll see you soon.

What is it?They want me to come in.

They said they have a very important briefing,

they want help.

[chuckling]

Glenn.

Just the kid I wanted to see.

[Jennifer] I'm so proud of you.

Dad, you're leaving?

But I thought we were gonna spend the day together.

Look, I'm so sorry. Come here.

I'm sorry. Something came up,

and I have to go.

You can't leave me with Glenn.

Can't I just go with you?

I wish you could, but not this time, okay?

But Dad, you promised.

I know.

Look, I'll make it up to you, okay?

I was gonna wait to give this to you,

but now seems like as good a time as any.

But I have a little surprise.

Do you remember the meteor I showed you?

This was carved out of it.

NASA said it was so tough

that they had to use a laser to get it out.

Really?Yeah, of course, really.

I mean, how cool is that?

I gotta go handle some business stuff, okay?

I don't know what it is,

but I promise, as soon as I get back,

I'll tell you some space stories.

But Harper's here.

We wanna hear your stories.

Okay, well, as soon as I get back,

I'll tell you all my space stories.

I just want you and Harper to go adventure today, okay?

Okay.Okay.

I love you.

I love you.I love you, too.

[Chad] I'm sorry.

Okay. Call my cell

if you guys have any problems, all right?

There's leftover pizza in the fridge,

there are juice boxes in the pantry,

and there are crackers

and cookies in the cupboards, all right?

We should be back no later than 8:00.

8:00?

Mom, you promised me I could go to

the zombie trilogy convention with Drake.

It starts at 2:00.

When did I promise you that?

Last week.

Today's the last day.No, it's my fault.

I promise I'll make it up to you.

So you're telling me I can't go.

Look, I'm sorry, honey, but, um...

I'll try and figure something out before 2:00, okay?

Did you call your mother?

Yes, ma'am. She said I could stay.

Why can't I just stay at Harper's?

My grandpa walks around in his underwear

and loses teeth.

You don't want to come over.

Big help, Harper.

All right, that's a little TMI,

but thanks.

Oh, and Mrs. Fields' number is on the refrigerator

in case you can't get in touch with me,

and in case you can't get in touch with Mrs. Fields,

Mrs. Johnson's number is right under it,

so you can't miss that one.

Babe.Hmm?

We'll be right back.

You'll only be gone till 8:00, so...

everything is gonna be okay.

It's not like it's the end of the world or anything.

That was a joke.

A joke?

Yeah, son. You really need to lighten up.

So you're really saying that I can't go?

I'm sorry.

I promise I'll make it up to you, okay?

Hey.

Keep an eye on the little one, all right?

You got it, Dad.All right.

Is that a new ring, Dad?

Sweet.

No, this is the same ring I've had

and you've seen, like, a million times.

Uh...

Either way, it's still pretty cool.

I guess it is kind of cool, isn't it?

All right.

Look, it's simple.

We'll stay out of his way.

We can pitch a tent in my backyard

and watch movies.

I get gas in small, containable places

so it's not pretty.

We can play with some of my toys.

I'm a boy, so...

Well, no.

I have cooler toys than you.

I beg to differ.

Why are we friends again?

Let's just get this over with.

Hey. My room. Two minutes.

This isn't gonna be good.

Pillow fight!

Glenn? Pillow fight? Are you feeling okay?

I just want to have a little fun with

my little sister.

Is that a crime?Bring it on, baby.

Pillow fight!

Ugh! My sunglasses!

Can someone get me my glasses?

Sunglasses...

Please.

My glasses.

Thank you.

My eyes are wicked burning.

Must be allergies.

You don't have any allergies, Glenn.

It's time.

Mmm, mmm. Can I have some whipped cream

to go with this bowl of awesomeness

that I have right in front of me?

I believe you can, my friend.

I believe you can.

[Glenn] Standing by.

All right, guys. So I gotta step out

for a little bit, I'll be-- I knew it.

You did all of this so we wouldn't tell Mom

you're gonna go to the zombie convention.

Hey, I did all of this out of the goodness

of my heart, okay?

Just because I love the two of you.

Okay, so maybe it wasn't all genuine,

but at least I'm not leaving you here alone.

I got someone to cover for my absence.

Oh, brother, please don't say Kevin.

Meet your new babysitter, Cheyenne.

You can't leave us with her.

Why not?

What's wrong with her?

Hey, stop that.

She's a--What's wrong with her?

All right, Cheyenne, I'll talk to you later,

I will be back in a little bit. If you need anything, call me.

See you later. Glenn! No, don't!

So, guys.

What do you wanna do?

Hmm.

Do you have "Omega Blasters 3?"

We'll just play around.

Go to the park for a while.

Of course.

I'll be here when you get back.

Okay.

Your brother is awesome.

It's like he's a total different person.

And Cheyenne?

She's super cool. And pretty.

Something's definitely wrong with that girl.

You see the way she keeps tapping?

It's weird.

The only thing weird here is you.

At least your brother left us with a cool babysitter.

I'm always stuck with my grandpa

who mistakes me for Mom.

Can we just stop talking about

your grandpa for once here?

Hey, I can't help it if my grandpa calls me Ethel

and leaves hearing aids in my cereal.

Harper.

I used to like cereal.

And now I never eat Chocolate O's.

Harper.

Okay, fine.

I mean, at least she lets us play outside.

And your brother?

He gave us ice cream.

He's all right in my book.

She's not one of us.

Fine. She's a teenager.

Harper!

Boy, can I wait to be a teenager.

[sighing]

Fine, okay. Then what is she?

An alien.

Remember how I said this was a bad idea yesterday?

Yeah.

Well, it's an even worse idea today.

Don't be such a scaredy cat, Harper.

You again?

I don't have time to waste time.

Wait, please!

We need your help.

They're here.

I think they're here.

You were right. My brother.

Your brother?

He was babysitting me,

and then he had to go to this zombie convention,

so he left us with a new babysitter, Cheyenne.

Well, what my brother doesn't know is--

Is that your babysitter is an alien!

Can you help us?

Come on inside.

Get inside right away.

Come on, hurry up.

That's good, now just sit here

and just don't touch anything, all right?

All right, now, your babysitter,

is she acting strange?

What are you doing? You're touching!

Don't touch! I told ya already!

Don't touch anything!

Bad, bad!

Bad! Don't touch!

Now...

Is your-- don't touch anything!

[growls]

Is your babysitter acting strange?

Does she have a really strong sense of smell?

Does she make any unusual noises?

Is she wearing sunglasses?

Is she light-sensitive? Anything reflective?

Like a vampire?

No, not like a vampire.

Then like what?

I don't know.

Just not like a vampire.

Well, how do you know?

Because...

The back of the neck.

That's how I know.

If they got to your brother,

he's gonna have a little chip

embedded right in the back of his neck.

That's how they control people.

But...

I haven't seen any chips.

Have you?

So you think they already got to my brother,

and that's why he left us with her?

Your father, the astronaut.

Is he back home from space?

Yeah, he got home yesterday, but he's at work.

Why? Is Glenn gonna be okay?

Do you know why they want to control my brother?

I don't know. I got nothing to go on.

But I'll tell you this.

If your father and your brother

are involved in this,

it's gonna be up to you to fix things.

And luckily for you,

I know how to do it.

Us?Us?

No, no.

Just her, not me, right?

Nobody's gonna believe you on this, either.

Trust me.

Not the police, not the military.

Not your parents.

Not even Bill down at the post office.

No one.

You see, these aliens,

they got connections.

They got people in high places.

Now, we're on our own out here.

Why are they back?

What would they come back for?

The last time was just for research.

But if your father and your brother

are involved in this,

this has got to be bigger.

This could be huge!

How do you know so much about all of this stuff?

How do you know to stop the aliens?

It's a long story.

Can you tell the abbreviated story?

Because I've got a short attention span.

All right. Here. Here.

You see this speck up here on the solar system?

There's, like, millions of them, so...

Ahh...

forget it, don't worry about it.

Tell you what, you just listen

to what I've got to say, okay?

And I've written it all out.

I got it all right here.

Now...

Uh, all I gotta do is find my glasses.

What the heck did I do with my glasses?

It's like my grandpa all over again.

Agent... Agent G.

What are you doing?

Oh. These Earthlings have this cool--

No, forget that, amazing--

No, forget that, magnificent thing

called Instagram, where you just take

countless pictures of yourself,

which they call selfies.

Ha ha! Say cheese.

Oh, and I'm on the verge of 2,000 followers.

That's kind of a big deal.

You should think about uploading

an Instagram yourself.

Will you cease with your youthful behavior?

We need to stay focused.

The fate of our people is in our hands,

not in the hands of your Earthling followers.

And besides, the target could pass us any minute now.

[cell phone ringing]

[Glenn] Hey, Mom.

Hey, how's it going?

I was just doing a little cleaning, Mom.

Mom?

I'm sorry, I don't think I've ever actually heard

you say that before.

Um, how's Katie?

She's fine, she's just playing with Harper.

Everything's fine, don't worry.

Okay, good. Uh, well,

the briefings went really well.

Your father's just about to meet with the senator

mano y mano,

talk some top secret stuff,

so I'm not sure how long it's gonna last,

but as soon as it's over,

we'll be on our way back.

So what do you think? Two hours? Three, maybe?

Oh, gosh, no, I hope not.

He just has to talk with the senator.

But it's not strange if the briefings were

to last a few hours, two hours tops.

That wouldn't make you...

suspicious or anything, right?

You know, you've been acting really strange today.

Um...

Do you remember that little talk we had

after we watched that afterschool special?

Mom, I'm just trying to get a sense of

what time to expect Dad to be home.

Two hours? Tops. But like I said,

I don't know, they won't let me in there, so...

Why? Is-- is everything okay?

Yep.

Everything's perfect.

Just perfect.

Yeah, you shouldn't make an Instagram,

I take that back, you wouldn't get

any likes or follows.

Look, you have to relax, okay?

Stop being so grumpy.

You're with Agent G, okay?

And I will not let anything happen.

Agent G came here to take over, kill any--

I'm just joking.

But seriously, I have eagle vision.

I can see anything.

Nothing will get past me.

Nothing.

Just shut up, Agent G... D,

whatever the--Hey, take a selfie.

Let's take a selfie.

[Agent G] You have to relax, okay?

[Senator Grant] Major Richardson.

Senator Grant.

From Iowa.

Senator J.E. Grant from Iowa.

Please, have a seat.

I'm sorry if all this has taken time away

from your family, but these meetings

are important for national security.

I understand that.And I won't be taking

too much more of your time.

One hour. Two, tops.

Oh, there they are.[kids chuckling]

Good thing I found them.

[clears throat]

Where was I?

Uh, stopping the aliens.

Right!

All right, yes.

That's right in here.

Right.

Okay, now... now,

here it is, here it is, here it is.

You see? I've been following this stuff for years.

Researching, watching.

Listening for clues...

and waiting for this day

to finally come.

What day?

What are you talking about?

The return...

of the space drifters.

A splinter group of aliens

from a race of aliens

banished by their own planet.

They now jump from galaxy to galaxy,

trying to find the perfect planet

for their friends to live on.

So sad. They're homeless.

No! Not sad at all.

They're criminals.

They're leeches, they're parasites,

you understand?

They were banned from their own planet

for sucking up

all their natural resources.

And-- and-- and-- causing

destruction and mayhem and chaos.

Their planet's council

condemned them

and imprisoned them

far out in the remote regions.

And then, the council took

the only key to their freedom

and divided it in half

and scattered it across the universe.

Why would they do that?

Why make a key? Bad guys rule 101.

Never give them a way out.

They always find a way.

Yeah.I don't know.

I didn't do it.

Wait. I'm confused.

If they got banished from the...

outer region,

how are any of them here?

Oh.

The splinter group

got away from the planet

before the trials started, you see?

And they vowed

that they would try their best,

no matter how long it took,

to help all of their friends

imprisoned in the outer region

get their freedom.

Now they have a lone spaceship,

and they jump

from planet to planet

that have a similar atmosphere

to their own, see?

And they-- they scavenge fuel

and natural resources,

and they do...

scientific experiments.

Anything that'll keep them going

and get them to their ultimate goal

of freeing their friends from the outer region.

Aww, how sweet.

Sweet? No!

It's terrible, they're killers!

If those aliens ever get free,

they will not only destroy

their own planet,

but they'll destroy everything in their path,

including our Earth.

Wait.

This is getting way too crazy.

Is there any way I can just get my brother back?

If this thing is as big as I fear it is,

the only way to save your brother

will be to save the whole world.

Could we do that before 7:00?

Because, after dinner,

I have to clip my grandpa's toenails.

They grow really fast,

especially the pinky toe.

Do you have it?

Yes, Supreme Commander.

Oh, you can call me Zord.

"Supreme Commander" is so formal.

Hmm.

Finally,

you two...

have done something

your people can be proud of.

Let's not waste another moment.

Finally, our people can be united

and live in peace

and rule these simple humans.

Enough already.

Do it.

[Dan] And now, for the moment

we've been waiting for!

May-- maybe it just needs to warm up.

And finally, we can live in peace!

And finally, our people

can claim what is rightfully ours!

Sir? There seems to be a problem.

No! Something's wrong?

Try it again!

Maybe you pieced it wrong.

[Dan] There are only two conjoining pieces.

How difficult can it be to merge them?

Well, something's wrong.

Well, if there's something wrong,

it is not my doing.

Are you saying it's me?

Enough! Just fix the key.

Time is short.

We only have less than 700 clicks

until the alignment,

and if we don't have the key by then,

all of this will be for nothing!

Supreme Commander, sir, we found out why.

I don't care why!

Just get the key working!

Get it working now!

[both] Yes, sir! Supreme Commander, sir!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever!

You never told us how you know

all this stuff.

Hey.

Where did you get that?

My dad gave it to me. Where did he get it?

A meteor shower. It was this big space rock

he brought home from space.

This is a piece of it.

Ahh! Of course!

Why didn't I think of that?

Oh...

You know, just for the record,

the next time your dad comes home from outer space,

and he brings a meteorite with him,

and then a bunch of aliens show up,

well, you might just kind of mention that

in the beginning.

Sorry, I don't speak

proper alien invasion takeover protocol.

Hmm.

That's it, you see.

Your dad...

found part of the key.

The aliens want the key.

Then they must have the other half of the key.

We can't let 'em put it together.

If they do...

Then that leads to chaos and destruction!

Of course. Of course, of course!

Today is the day of the alignment!

Ahh! Yeah!

The alignment!

The alignment? What's that?

This is what happens when the galaxies

suddenly line up,

and they create a portal,

a window,

a keyhole that goes

all the way to the outer region.

Now, if the aliens get that key,

they can open the portal.

The end.

That space rock thingy.

It's sitting on our fireplace.

It is?

Wha-- what are we waiting here for?

Let's go!

Mr. Nelson?Yeah?

You still never told us how you know so much

about all this stuff.

Well...

It's not the first time...

The aliens were here.

So, how did you get away?

I was just lucky, I guess.

Let's just pray

the same thing can be said

for your brother, Glenn.

All right, come on, come on.

Stay behind me.

Keep your voices down.

Shhh!

I'm gonna see what's going on.

What do you see?

I see your brother Glenn

and the new neighbors from across the street.

They're tearing the whole place up.

Heh.

They gotta be looking for the key.

No!

No, I see it! I see the key!

If they've got the key,

then what are they ransacking the place for?

[gasps] That's it!

I thought you said to keep your voice down!

The key can't be completed!

You've got the part of the key

that links the two big parts together!

But I thought you said--They can't get that!

They can't!

You gotta take it off, right away, and hide it!

Hide it now!

Okay.

Let's go in.

Shh, don't let him get it.

No one can know of our plans.

Until we get that key, we're not strong enough

to withstand a revolt.

Humans are not complex beings.

They won't understand.

Wow.

What happened here?

Um, hey.

The Rosenbottoms here, they were...

Um, they were just trying to help me find my...

His wallet.

Right, my wallet.

It must've fell out of your pocket

when you were helping us move.

Possibly, but it's obviously not here,

so I guess we're just gonna move on, so.

Why don't you just retrace your steps?

You can probably find it that way.

What? He's trying to find his wallet.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

Um...

We will go to our house and...

and see if we can check there,

just in case.

Um...

Glenn, you retrace your steps here.

Uh, Glenn, we're gonna go to my room and play.

Is that okay?

Sure. Have fun, sis.

Well, I'll be going too, then.

But not with them, of course, 'cause

that would be weird.

But I gotta go home.

It's time for my blood pressure pill.

So, uh... [clears throat] [chuckles]

Don't let them get that necklace.

The fate of the whole world

is in your hands!

No pressure though, okay? Yeah.

[clearing throat]

[Cheyenne] Have we...

met before?

Oh, nope.

Well,

if you'll excuse me.

Have fun, kids.

I thought you said holding hands was...

Come on, Harper.

You don't think that they could've...

They are legacy continuance

contingency plans.

I think they are harmless.

But we must hurry--

find the key.

We have only two clicks of Earth time

before the alignment!

[both] Hail Supreme Commander Zord!

This isn't how I envisioned my last days on the planet.

I wish my dad was here.

[Chad] But in summation, if we had the proper funding,

our space program could rival the 21st century

that our forefathers dreamed about.

Well, I guess that will be all.

I do thank you for coming by

and briefing me-- oh!

One moment.

That asteroid.

You mentioned you found something, correct?

Are you referring to the debris

from the meteor shower?

Yes, that's it.

And you took it home?

Yes, I hope you don't have a problem with that.

I did clear that with my superiors,

but if you would like,

I mean, I will bring it back.

No, no-- no, that's not necessary.

It's just that...

It must be amazing having an artifact

as a... collector's item?

Permission to speak freely, ma'am.

By all means.

It's pretty cool.

I have a daughter, and she...

oh gosh, she's obsessed

with astronomy, and I thought,

how cool would I be if I was able to bring home

something from space?

You know, we even carved a little piece off the rock

and made it into a necklace,

and she loves it.

Well, isn't that the sweetest thing

I've ever heard?

Please, tell me all about it.

Let's go save Glenn.

Hand me my slingshot.

You mean my slingshot?

The one that I let you borrow three months ago?

Just hand me the stupid slingshot.

Here.

I want it back!

Yeah, yeah.

I'm serious!

Shh!

I only got one shot at this.

Come on! Over here!

Over here!

What do I do? Katie!

What do I do now?

Whoa!

[straining]

Got it!

Katie...

Did you--

Katie, did you glue me to the floor?

Calm down, I can explain.

I'm gonna kill you, you better run!

I liked him better when he was an alien.

What?

The aliens, they took over your body

as a plot to save the alien races

and take over the whole world.

Whoa, that was real?

So, what do we do now?

Well, you can get me out of here,

that's what you can do.

Do you have it?

No, Lord Zord, but I will--

No? I do not...

have time for incompetence.

If you can't complete the mission--

But Master, I--

How dare you interrupt me!

Forgive me for interrupting, sir.

But... we know where

the missing piece to the key is.

Well, then? Where is it?

A child has it.

A child?

Are you telling me

the fate of our people lies in the hands

of a child?

[cackling]

Then what's the problem?

Bring me the key.

I suspect the child may be aware of our agenda.

So to divert her from going to the authorities

or trying to hide the key from us,

I took extra precautions.

[whistling]

Is that...

[Lord Zord cackling]

Yes. That's him.

He and the child have become what

they call on Earth "friends."

Friends?

There is not a term

between our people for this word, Master.

But apparently,

because of this bond,

incarcerating Mr. Nelson

will bring her quickly,

directly into our path,

momentarily.

Hmm. Leave nothing to chance.

He might have alerted the child about

our brain-manipulating techniques.

Terminate...

the brother's transmission.

Yes, Master.

It is done, sir.

His brain will reduce to mush,

and his body will deteriorate soon after.

Good.

This plan better work.

We have no room for error.

She has nowhere to turn, Master.

Trust me. It'll work.

It better work.

We only have one hour of Earth time left.

It better work.

Why does he look like that?

He always looks like that.

Are you okay? Do you need anything?

Clean clothing, perhaps?

You should do laundry more often.

Not a word of this to anyone.

We should call the police.

And tell them what? That aliens are about

to take over the world?

Get real, Katie, no one's gonna believe that.

Dad will. Let's call him.

No, he won't, dorkface.

Besides, he's in some top-secret meeting or something.

Not even Mom can talk to him right now.

But... Plus, he's way too far away.

They've only got one part of the missing key.

As long as they don't find the other part,

we're fine.

But what if they come back and look for it?

We should go to Mr. Nelson's.

It may be safer there.

The weirdo from next door?

He's not a weirdo.

He's my friend.

And he got abducted by aliens, too,

so you two aren't that different.

You're the one who got the chip in your neck.

Who's the weirdo now?

[Chad] Honey, you know we've met more people from Iowa

in one day than we have in our entire lives?

I didn't really think about it.

I guess so.

You notice they're all wearing sunglasses?

I didn't really notice.

Why, is something the matter?

No, I'm just...

Just probably being paranoid, there's nothing--

Yeah, it is day out, so sunny.It's probably nothing.

I mean, most people are wearing sunglasses, Chad.

Yeah. I know, you're probably right.

I'm probably just being paranoid.

Mr. Nelson?

It's not locked.

What are you doing? You can't go in--

There.

Whoa.

You understand some of this stuff?

Yeah, I do.

Surprisingly, I remember everything.

Weirdo.

He's not here. Something's wrong.

Probably just bailed.

He wouldn't do that.

Not Mr. Nelson.

The Rosenbottoms have Mr. Nelson!

We have to go get him back!

When they say "come alone",

that means you, right?

Katie, you're not going alone.

There's no way.

We just need to stay put, and as long as

they don't know where the key is, we're fine.

Glenn, I have the key.

The must have found out some way that I have it.

Wait, what? You have the key?

How? Where?

Katie? Your butt is glowing.

[Glenn] Unbelievable.

Okay, we gotta get as far away from here

as soon as possible.

We can call Dad, a taxi, anything,

we just gotta go.But I thought you said--

Whatever I said before I knew

you had the key doesn't matter.

You want to know what matters to me?

Saving Mr. Nelson.

He's my friend, I'm not going to leave him.

Really?

You would still be a zombie alien

if it wasn't for Mr. Nelson.

He taught us how to save you.

He's my friend.

I'm not gonna leave without him.

Dad wouldn't do it, and you know it.

Come on, Glenn. Trust me.

I know who they are, and I know what they want.

I may not be a grownup.

I may not be able to go to the police

or call Mom and Dad for help,

but what I do have

is a very particular set of skills,

skills I have acquired

over three summers, multiple groundings,

and last spring break at Cousin Elliot's.

Skills that make me seem like

a daydreamer to some people.

I will help Mr. Nelson.

I will look for him.

I will find him, and I will make sure

he's safe and sound.

I can do this, Glenn.

I know I can save the world.

I have a plan.

Fine.

You have less than ten minutes.

Now go save the world, you dork.

Where's Mr. Nelson?

Where's the key?

I need to see him first.

Mr. Nelson! Is he okay?

He's fine. Now, where's the key?

I need to hear it from him.

Are you okay?

[muffled] I'm fine.

[muffled] You gotta get out of here!

What did he say?

[muffled] I said, I'm fine. You've got to get out of here!

I think he said

there's something in your hair... no.

Um...

Enough!

I'm tired of these games.

Give me the key, or he dies now.

If he dies, you'll never get the key.

Never!

We'll see about that. Kill him!

Wait, stop! Please!

Just don't hurt Mr. Nelson.

I have the key in here,

just, please, leave him alone.

I have it in here.

I am curious.

Master, we only have

four Earth minutes before the alignment.

Silence!

Why would you risk your planet's resources

for this... fool?

He's not a fool. He's my friend.

He's a fool.

Didn't he tell you?

Tell me what?

We've met him before,

your Mr. Nelson and I.

My research scouts...

have encountered him before,

doing some tests,

but the results always came back inconclusive!

His brain waves are lower than

any life form we've ever encountered.

Even lower than

a Thandorian beetle.

[both chuckling]

He's a bug!

Not even worth squashing.

So... we released him.

[both chuckling]

Three Earth minutes, Master.

Silence!He's my friend.

He's kind and colorful, like me.

When I needed his help,

he helped me, and that's all

that matters in friendship.

So I don't care what you say about him

or what your stinking research shows.

He's my friend,

and that's all that matters.

[chuckling]

I'd rather have power than friendship.

Ahh, this grows tiring.

The key! Where is the key?

You want the key?Mm-hmm.

I want the key!

You can have the key.

[Mr. Nelson mumbling]

[clicking tongue]

Ugh!

Good luck finding the right one-- You!

Forget the girl! Find the key!

Find the key!

[mumbling]

That doesn't fit, you idiot!

I will not be outsmarted

by an Earth girl

and her feebleminded... friend!

[mumbling]

The yellow button!

Press the yellow button.

You! Silence!

Sorry, your bald-headedness.

But when you mess with my friends and family,

no matter how annoying,

you mess with me.

I am undefeatable!

I am forever!

I am--

Let's get out of here! Come on!

Success.

We have it!

We turn it into the stone this way,

and it's...

It-- it-- it works?

Too late?

No!

[sobbing]

So I'm going to be on that spaceship

a thousand more years, with you.

Yes. And I with you!

[hyperventilating][sobbing]

No!

You came back for me.

Of course I did.

Yeah, but you-- you touched my necklaces,

you touched all my stuff, my artifacts!

Do you have any idea how long it took me

to collect that stuff from all over the world?

How much that stuff is worth?

Thank you.

Let's get you home.

Thanks again.

Oh. Well, I--

I better be getting home.

It's time for my cholesterol pill.

By the way,

you never got your kickball out of my backyard.

Wait, my kickball?

Well,

I'll just throw it over the fence for you,

just in case you never wanna see me again.

Never want to see you again?

Well, you know.

Things are back to normal now,

and I just figured,

you'd probably never want to see

a stupid, crazy old man like me anymore.

I wouldn't want to save the world

with anyone else, Mr. Nelson.

[Hunter] Hey, I helped, too.

What are you doing? Mom and Dad'll be here any moment.

We gotta put on a unified front.

Look, Katie.

I never said thank you.

You would do it for me.

Right?

Let's go. Harper should never be left unsupervised.

But, Glenn,

you would do it for me, right?

You know it, Frankenstein-face.

Yuck!Yep, never happened.

Wait. Something's wrong.

Yeah, something is definitely wrong here.

No, Mom. Nothing's wrong.

Just been sitting here getting along,

enjoying each other's company.

Okay, now I know something's wrong.

[gasps]

I know what it is.

It's quiet, nobody's fighting!

[laughing]

At first, I thought you knew something about the aliens.

Just laugh. Don't do anything else but laugh.

Dad, I missed you!

Oh, hi. Missed you, too.

Did you have any fun, little adventures today?

I've been dying for a good story.

Just a regular, boring day.

Just a regular, boring day?

Well, that doesn't sound like any fun at all.

Well, don't worry, the day's still very young.

Well, I'm just glad that my house

is in one solid...

Hang on a second.

Uh, Mom?Do I have a--

Yeah, I'm gonna go with Katie to walk Harper home.

But-- but my mom said I could stay.

Is that cool?She said I could stay!

Wait, wait. You guys want to do something together?

See, now, I told you, I know something's wrong.

Babe, relax. Look, they're just bonding.

My mom said I could stay, though.

Hmm.

Yeah, something is not right here.

And I swear I had a lamp there.

Baby, relax.

Oh, my gosh, it's okay.

You know Mom and Dad are gonna find out

something isn't right, and they're gonna kill us.

Don't worry. I have a plan.

Famous last words.Do you guys wanna come over

and help me clip my grandpa's toenails?

They grow like weeds.

Why are you friends with this kid?
