Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County (1998) Movie Script
- [Narrator] In the fall
of 1997, a 16 year old boy
set out to document his
family's Thanksgiving dinner.
What he purportedly
captured on his video camera
was more than just a
family get together.
The following footage if real,
could be the most
important evidence ever
supporting the possibility
that we are not alone
in the universe.
This footage contains explicit
and frightening images.
Now, for the first time ever
watch the complete
and unedited tape
and decide for yourself.
"Alien Abduction,
did it happen?"
(suspenseful music)
(upbeat piano music)
- Okay, okay, I
got it working now.
- [Kurt] Yeah right,
you've been saying that
for the last half hour.
- No, the red
light's on this time.
(upbeat piano music)
Okay, here we have my mom.
This is my niece, Rosie.
They're jamming away
to a wicked version
of "Chopsticks" on the piano.
(upbeat piano music)
- That was fun Grandma.
- You played real good, honey.
- [Kurt] You did.
- Time to wash your hands.
- [Tommy] Hey, nice bird Kurtis.
- Thank you.
- [Tommy] Yeah, like you
had anything to do with it.
- Well, let's see.
I paid for it.
Does that count?
- [Tommy] Oh yes, Kurt,
the bait shop king.
- Hey, bait has put food on
your table all your life,
you little punk.
- [Tommy] You mean all this
time I've been eating fish bait?
- Smart ass.
- Shocking.
Hey, Mom, aren't we going to
wait for Mel and her boyfriend?
- Oh, you know Mel,
she'll turn up as soon
as the turkey's carved.
Tommy, don't point that
thing at me anymore.
- [Tommy] Sorry, for wanting
your great-grandchildren
to know what you looked like.
- I think it's great.
- Yeah, he blows his
inheritance on a video camera
and you think that's great?
- [Tommy] It wasn't
the whole thing.
- I wish you'd taped your
dad when he was still alive.
- [Tommy] Me, too.
- Rosie, go wash
your hands, honey.
- [Rosie] I just did, Dad.
- Let's see.
Hmm, looks pretty good.
Where's Brian and Renee?
- [Tommy] I'll find 'em.
Fornicating in the bathroom.
Naughty, naughty.
- [Renee] Brian, please.
- [Brian] Not until you say yes.
- [Renee] I'll think about it.
Come on, Bri, your
mom's in the other room.
- [Brian] Maybe this'll
help you decide.
- [Renee] Oh my god.
- [Tommy] Sorry, guys.
- Hey, you little jerk.
Gimme that, I want that tape.
- [Tommy] No, chill out,
man, I'll erase it, hold on.
- [Brian] That
better be erasing.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I'm erasing it.
- [Brian] I swear I'll
kick the crap out of you.
- [Tommy] Hold on,
cool, ow, cool it.
- [Brian] Just, erasing?
- [Tommy] There.
- You're so full of it.
Gimme that.
- [Tommy] No, I swear it's done.
- Well then, let me see it.
- [Tommy] Chill out, it's
done all right, I swear it.
Look, Mom's got
dinner on the table.
It's getting cold.
- Are you okay?
Are Melanie and Matthew here?
- [Tommy] Get real.
You know Mel, she'll show up
just as soon as we sit down.
- [Kurt] Matthew, that
her new boyfriend?
- [Tommy] Yeah.
- What's this one do?
- Brian.
- [Tommy] I dunno.
He's studying to be a psych
professor or something.
- Tommy, that's enough video
for one night, don't you think?
- [Tommy] This is
my career, Mom.
- [Brian] What career?
- [Tommy] Music
and video director.
- Yeah, right.
You can't even hold
the thing steady.
- It's supposed
to look like this.
(all laughing)
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
- [Tommy] What was that?
- [Renee] What happened?
- [Brian] I don't
know, lightening?
- [Tommy] I don't
hear any thunder, man.
- [Linda] Rosie,
you okay, honey?
- I'm okay.
- Great, power's out.
- [Mom] Oh no.
- [Kurt] You wanna grab a
flashlight please, Tommy?
- [Tommy] Wait, there's
a light on my camera.
- [Kurt] All right.
We'll be right back.
- Wait, where are you gonna go?
- [Kurt] I just wanna go
check the circuit breakers.
- Well, hurry up, I don't
want this dinner getting cold.
- [Brian] I'll
light the lanterns.
- Okay.
- Come on in, honey.
- Hi.
- [Tommy] Hey, Mel.
What's up?
- [Melanie] Oh I'm telling you
this'll be the best
Thanksgiving ever.
- [Tommy] Hey, hey.
How are you doing?
- Tommy.
That is such a nice shirt.
It looks good.
- [Tommy] Thank you.
- What's with the camera?
- [Tommy] I'm making a video
of our Thanksgiving dinner.
- Oh, great, a
study in neurosis.
Matthew, this is my
baby brother, Tommy.
Tommy, this is Matthew.
- Hey, how you doing?
- Hey.
- Good to meet you.
- So, what's going on?
Why are all the lights out?
- [Tommy] We blew a circuit
breaker of something.
- Oh, did you see
the lightening?
- [Tommy] Yeah,
yeah, it was awesome.
- Yeah.
- [Kurt] Where've you been?
- Nice to see you too, Kurt.
What happened here, did
you get into a fight?
- Yeah, with a ladder.
- Yeah.
- Matthew, this is my
older brother, Kurt.
Kurt, this is Matthew.
- Matt.
- Actually, it's Matthew.
- Matthew.
- Hey, Bri, and this is
my younger brother, Brian.
- Hey, how're ya doing?
- Hey, what's up?
- All right, let's go
turn the lights back on.
- Don't worry about it.
We'll be back in a minute.
- Okay.
- [Tommy] Take care of Mel.
- See you later Tom.
- See you.
- Hi, Rosie.
Hi, Mom.
- I thought you were going to
paint the front steps, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I will.
- [Brian] When?
- [Tommy] I told Mom
I'd do it this weekend.
- [Brian] Aren't you supposed
to do the guest room too?
- [Tommy] I'll get to it, Brian.
- Thought you were supposed
to do it last weekend.
- [Tommy] I'll get to it.
Jesus, why don't you do
something around here?
- I'm going to school, dork.
- [Tommy] Well, gosh, I'm
going to school, too, dork-ass.
- [Kurt] Knock it off.
Can you guys believe Mel?
- [Tommy] What about her?
- [Kurt] This Matthew guy.
- Why, because Matt's black?
- [Tommy] Hey, it's
Matthew, come on.
- Shut up, the guy's
got a major attitude.
- Right, 'cause he's
doing our sister.
(Tommy laughing)
- What, do you
think that's funny?
- Yeah.
- He's cool, he's just a brain.
- No he's not.
Is that thing still on?
- Yeah.
- Well, turn it off.
- The light'll go off, man.
No one's gonna see it.
- I think she just should
have told us the guy's black,
that's all I'm saying.
- [Tommy] What
difference does it make?
- [Kurt] It doesn't.
- [Brian] Whoa.
Hey, it's smoking.
- Yeah.
- Look at that.
(beep)
- Careful.
Here, this is how you handle
a fuse box, college boy.
Whoa, look at that.
- [Tommy] Give me some
room, let me see it.
Its totally melted.
- Yeah.
- It stinks, mans.
What could have done that?
- Lightening.
- Did that?
- Maybe.
(lighting popping)
- What the hell was that?
- Did you see that?
- [Kurt] What was
that, lightening.
- That didn't look
like lightening.
- [Tommy] It came from the
Berkenhausers' pasture.
- No, it didn't.
- [Tommy] Yeah, it did,
I saw it on the camera.
Hey, it's probably that
big transformer's blown.
Let's go check it out.
- Hey, let's not.
- [Tommy] No, come on.
We're gonna have to call the
power company about it, anyway.
- All right, tell Mom we'll
be a few more minutes.
Come on, Brian, keep up.
- [Tommy] Go on, Bri.
- You go on, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Go on, Bri.
- Screw you.
- Tommy,
Tommy, get.
- [Tommy] Hey, guys, wait up.
Mom's already on her
second glass of wine.
- What, what?
I thought you had that
big talk with her.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I did.
She's not gonna stop.
She hides these vodka bottles
like I'm not gonna find 'em.
- Oh, man, why don't you
do something about it?
- [Tommy] And what am I
supposed to do about it, Brian?
- Why don't you throw
the bottles away?
- [Tommy] Well, I think
she'd just buy new ones.
- Did you tell her
about the support group?
- [Tommy] She blew me off.
- [Brian] She
still acting weird?
- [Tommy] Yeah, she goes
through Dad's closet
and feels his clothes.
- Damn it, Tommy, you
gotta tell us this stuff
before it gets this bad.
- [Tommy] I am.
I'm doing it.
You guys are never around.
- Oh, give me a break, Tommy.
I'm trying to run a business.
I don't have time to breathe,
never mind sit around
and catch Mom having a drink.
- Well, now you know, okay?
- It's not his fault.
- [Tommy] Mom's drinking again.
More than when Dad died.
- [All] Whoa.
- [Tommy] Man, did you see that?
- [Brian] Yeah.
- [Tommy] Look at it.
Careful.
- [Tommy] It's
completely freaking out.
- [Brian] We gotta call someone.
- [Tommy] Hey man,
that's not gonna
catch anything on fire is it?
- [Kurt] No, it's fine.
- [Brian] Kurt, we
gotta call someone.
(cables exploding)
What is that?
- [Tommy] What?
- [Brian] Over there, Tommy.
- What?
- Whoa.
(cables exploding)
- [Tommy] What the hell is that?
- [Kurt] Something from
the air force base.
- [Tommy] Damn, it's huge.
The power company wouldn't
have something like that.
(suspenseful music)
Holy.
(beep)
It looks like a UFO.
- [Kurt] A what?
Get outta here.
- [Brian] Shut up.
- [Tommy] That looks
like a UFO man, no wait.
- [Kurt] How do you work
this thing, I can't see.
- [Tommy] I swear to
God, that's a, UFO.
- Fine, fine, where is it?
- Shh.
What did I tell you, damn.
- [Brian] Quiet you guys.
What's that guy doing?
What's that guy doing?
(beep)
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Hey, man, that's
my camera, come on.
- [Kurt] That's an alien.
- Give it back.
- What?
- [Kurt] I swear, it's a.
(beep)
Alien.
- [Brian] Oh man.
- [Kurt] Quiet Tommy.
- [Brian] I don't believe this.
- What?
- There's another guy.
- [Tommy] Oh my God,
there's two of 'em.
- [Kurt] Just be
quiet, you guys,
don't say a word.
What's he doing?
What's he doing?
- [Tommy] Come on,
let me see, come on,
it's my camera.
- [Kurt] Let me see.
- Let me see, Dammit.
- [Kurt] Holy.
(beep)
- [Tommy] What?
- [Kurt] What are
they doing Brian?
(cow moaning)
- What?
- What are they doing Brian?
- [Brian] They're cutting
open one of the cows.
- [Tommy] What's are they doing?
- [Brian] He's just cutting it.
- [Kurt] What?
- [Tommy] What are they?
- [Kurt] What are
they doing, Brian?
- [Brian] Just cutting
it, just cutting it.
- [Kurt] Brian?
What?
- [Brian] They see us.
One of them looked right at me.
(beep)
They see us.
(all screaming)
- I'm not comfortable
with a statement
confirming or denying
the possibility
that the McPhersons were
abducted by extraterrestrials.
My deputy found the tape
at the McPhersons' place
and the McPhersons haven't
been heard from since.
Now, beyond that,
I have no comment.
(all screaming)
- What was that?
- Brian, get up.
(beep)
Forget it, Tommy.
- I'll get the camera.
- Forget your camera, come on.
- All right.
- Come on.
Brian, come on.
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Guys, run, run.
- [Kurt] Come on, come, keep up.
This way, over here, over here.
- [Tommy] Brian.
- [Kurt] Tommy.
Come on Brian, come on.
Keep up Tommy.
Look out.
Quick.
(beep)
I got you.
Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah.
- [Kurt] Come on.
We need to get the
hell outta here.
Grab your coats,
we're leaving now.
- [Renee] What's the matter?
- [Brain] Call 911.
- What?
- What?
- Just hurry up.
- Brian.
- What's going on?
- [Tommy] There's
aliens out there.
- Hey, watch your
language, Tommy.
- There's what?
- [Tommy] They
shot Brian's hand.
- Who shot?
- Brian.
- [Tommy] Aliens,
there's a UFO out there,
we have to go.
- A UFO.
- What happened?
- The phone's dead.
Wait, what do you mean,
they shot your hand?
- [Kurt] They jabbed
his hand with something.
We need to get out of here now.
- [Renee] Brian,
please sweetheart.
- [Tommy] There's a UFO ship
and aliens at the
big transformer.
- [Melanie] Oh please.
- [Brian] Mom, we
gotta get going.
- [Tommy] They saw
us, we have to go.
- [Kurt] Linda,
grab Rosie's coat.
- All right.
- [Melanie] Are you guys stoned?
- [Tommy] No, we're not stoned.
- Are we leaving already?
- [Tommy] For, sake,
Brian, show 'em your hand.
- Brian please can I see that?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
We got to get that
under cold water.
- [Melanie] Okay,
I've got to see this.
Are you coming?
- [Matthew] I ain't
going out there.
- [Kurt] No, no, there's no
way you're going out there.
- Are you ordering
me not to go outside?
- Yes, we are all
leaving together.
- What are you talking about?
Please, please keep
your voices down.
You're gonna scare Rosie.
- Kurt, this isn't funny.
- This isn't a joke.
We need to get outta here
before they get
back to the house.
- [Matthew] A UFO.
- [Tommy] It looked like a ship,
a big black ball or something,
just over the ridge.
- They saw us, then
they fired at us.
- Okay, so we saw some aliens.
Can we have some dinner now?
- Sorry, I'm not buying it boys.
- [Tommy] Go see for yourself.
- I would.
- No, no one is going
out there alone.
Hey, what's that?
- What's happening.
- Let me see.
- Let me see.
- Let me see.
- Let me see.
- [Brian] That
thing, it took off.
Kurt, they're leaving.
- What?
- They're leaving.
- Are you sure?
- [Melanie] Well, wait,
what are those lights?
That's what we're talking about.
UFO, spaceship, whatever.
- But they're
leaving now, right?
- [Brian] It looks like it.
(beep)
- [Tommy] You missed it.
- Oh, that's convenient.
- Come on, everybody calm down.
Let's go and light the
Thanksgiving candle
and have some dinner.
- That's a good idea, Grandma.
- [Tommy] We gotta
tell somebody.
- Yeah, and if the
we're not related.
- Yeah, nice try boys.
- Come on, honey.
- It wasn't a joke, Mel.
- [Mom] Rosie,
let's go sit down.
- [Brian] Kurt, we
should do something.
- We should like the
Thanksgiving candle.
That's what we should do.
Now come on.
- Come on, Bri.
Let's put your hand into
some cold water now.
Brian, now.
- [Tommy] This isn't a joke.
You're lucky you weren't there.
- Are the rifles
still in the mudroom?
- [Tommy] Yeah, in the closet.
Kurt.
- Kurt.
Kurt, come on.
- I'm not gonna go sit
down after what I just saw.
- So what do you
want to do about it?
Look, your mom has been
looking forward to this
for a long time.
Now she wants all of
us to be a part of it.
Okay, you even said
they were gone, come on.
They're gone, okay, come on.
Come on, honey.
- Okay, okay, settle
down, take your seats.
Brian, Renee.
- Yeah, we're coming.
- Come on.
- Are we ready for dinner?
- Yeah, let's go.
- Kurt, you start.
- No.
- Here, I'll start.
- Thank you, Linda.
- I'm thankful for my husband
who takes care of his family
by putting in the long
hours at the store,
making sure he has enough time
to spend with Rosie on weekends.
And for being strong
for his family
over this difficult year.
I love you.
- Mel, I'm thankful for.
(beep)
I can't do this.
- [Mom] Of course you
can, come on Kurt.
- Mel, I'm thankful for.
- Kurt.
- What?
- [Tommy] I thought I just
saw it in the window, man.
- All right.
- Tommy, please.
- [Tommy] No, there
was something here.
I'm not screwing around here.
There was something
in the window.
- [Kurt] Tell me where.
- [Tommy] I don't know.
- [Kurt] Which way did he go?
- [Tommy] I don't know, I just
saw something for a second.
- Get back, get
into the other room.
Get into the other
room, look out.
- Kurt.
- Come one, Mel, move.
Brian, here.
- I don't think a shotgun
is gonna do much good, Kurt.
- Where's Rosie?
Rosie, where are you honey?
- [Tommy] Hey, Kurt, Kurt,
man, what's the plan?
What are we doing?
- Kurt, you're running around
the house with a shotgun,
you're scaring her and me.
- Not now Linda.
- Kurt.
(Matthew laughing)
- [Melanie] What?
- [Matthew] I didn't
know your family
sure had some strange
Thanksgiving rituals.
- What did you say?
What did you just say?
- Kurt.
Kurt.
Kurt.
Come on.
- You don't know what the
hell you're talking about
so shut your mouth.
- Stop,
what's the matter with you?
- Hey, don't you talk to me.
You tell this.
(beep)
- [Tommy] Kurt,
this is nuts, man.
- Come on, now.
That's not what you wanna say.
What'd you really wanna say?
- This does not concern you.
You got nothing to
do with this family.
- And you're hoping
I never do, right?
- Who the hell do
you think you are?
Do you wanna start something,
is that what this is?
- Back off, Kurt.
- Kurt.
- Back off.
- Just cool it.
- [Tommy] Matthew, come on,
he's just upset, all right.
- And when people are upset,
that's when they tend to
say what they really feel.
- Oh, screw you.
- Kurt.
Kurt, come on
get outta here.
- Get your gun outta my
face, what's wrong with you?
- Come on, forget it,
forget it.
- Oh my God.
- [Melanie] I'm so sorry.
- Knock it off, Rosie.
- [Tommy] Matthew, look,
we're all freaked out,
you weren't out there.
- Yeah, you're right,
I was not there,
so I don't know what
all this is about.
- Guys, we don't have time
to deal with this right now.
- Come on boys,
it's Thanksgiving.
Kurt, will you put
that shotgun down
and come and sit down and eat.
- Come on honey, put
the shotgun away.
- Thanks for supporting
me as usual, Linda.
Tommy, you put that
damn camera down.
- [Tommy] No way, I'm
getting this all on tape
until those guys leave.
Hey, screw off man, cool it.
- [Melanie] Kurt.
Take it.
- Can you rewind that thing?
- [Tommy] What?
- Can you play it back
so they can see it?
- [Tommy] Oh yeah, I can
do it through the eyepiece.
Just a sec.
Hey, hold on, hold on.
- Come here, honey.
I've never seen anything
like that before my life.
- God.
- [Tommy] I told you.
- I don't believe it.
- Let me see,
let me see.
- Not now, honey.
- Come on, it was probably
just some pranksters.
- [Tommy] Mom, I'm telling
you they were real.
- [Renee] All right, Bri let's
go take care of your hand.
Bri, I am so freaked out.
- Renee.
Ow.
- Sorry.
- It's okay, it's okay.
Honey, it's gonna be okay, okay.
Ow, I think we just scared 'em.
They didn't seem that
unfriendly to me.
- Hello?
They shot you.
- Maybe they thought
Tommy's camera
was some sort of a gun.
I mean, the light
shined right at 'em
and that's when they, ow,
that's when they fired at us.
- Tommy, have you been
taping this whole time?
- [Tommy] Not the
whole thing, no.
- Tommy, give us
a break, will you?
- [Tommy] Okay.
- We need to get outta here.
- Rosie must be starving.
- Linda, check the
phone, will you?
- I just did, it's still out.
- Kurt.
We are not going out there.
- Mom.
Mom.
- No.
(Renee screaming)
- [Tommy] What?
What?
What is it?
- Over there, over there.
- [Tommy] I told you,
I told you I saw one.
- Damn.
- Dad, be careful,
you could hurt someone.
- Lock the doors.
- What the hell.
- Front door, front door.
- [Tommy] Did you see that?
It's already locked.
- How the hell did they do that?
- [Linda] What the hell is that?
- [Kurt] Where's
that coming from?
- Do you hear that?
- [Tommy] My ears are ringing.
Ah.
- It's coming from over here.
- Oh no.
Oh no, it's here now.
- [Melanie] Oh my
God, it's rough.
- Oh.
- That's really loud, damn.
- Oh, Kurt.
- Mel, no.
No, no.
(all screaming)
(glass breaking)
- [Narrator] This program
contains disturbing
and graphic images.
Viewer discretion is advised.
- It takes a lot to scare me.
I've worked in the
sci-fi horror genre
for about 15 years now
and created some pretty
elaborate special effects.
This tape unnerved me
for a couple of reasons.
Number one, these are
clearly not actors.
The family members are not
working off any script.
There's also no plot line,
other than getting the
hell out of the house.
These people are
genuinely terrified
and the aliens are
not coming down a ramp
saying, "ET phone home."
The second reason I find
this unnerving, is that,
if it is a hoax,
I should have been the
one that directed it.
(glass breaking)
(all screaming)
- [Tommy] What the hell?
- [Brian] It's over,
it's over honey.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
Rosie, honey, you okay, honey?
- [Brian] My ears
are still burning.
- Mel?
- My right ear popped.
- Oh.
- Turn around Kurt.
- This is mental.
- [Kurt] Is everybody all right?
- [Tommy] My ears
are still ringing.
- [Melanie] My ear popped.
- [Kurt] Mom, what
are you doing?
- I don't want Rosie to
step on anything sharp,
it might go through her shoe.
- Leave it, we're
getting out of here.
- [Renee] What do they want?
- [Brian] How the
hell do I know?
- We cannot stay here.
- Look what could they do to
the Berkenhauseres cow, huh?
- [Mom] The phone's still out.
- [Tommy] Hey wait,
maybe there's something
on the radio about it, huh?
- [Kurt] There's no
electricity, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Damn.
- Mom, I need the
keys to your truck.
- [Mom] What for?
- It's bigger than mine.
I'll bring it right
to the front door,
we'll all get in.
- [Mom] But, what
about all the food?
- Forget the food,
we're leaving.
- [Mom] Here.
- Where are you going?
- [Tommy] I'm coming with you.
- [Kurt] No you're not.
- [Tommy] Well, I
just don't think
you should go out
there by yourself.
- I don't think you
should come with me.
Mel, Mel.
- I'm coming too.
- Mel, Mel.
- Kurt.
- Stay inside.
- [Melanie] Well hurry.
- [Kurt] Keep your eyes open.
- [Tommy] I really think
they're gone, Kurt.
- [Kurt] Just keep
your eyes open.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I am.
Oh man.
You know what?
I think I peed my pants man.
Oh.
(beep)
Man, I did.
I peed my pants.
- Hey, Tommy.
(beep)
- Man I'm losing it here.
- Hey,
it's fine.
- I peed my pants, man.
- It's fine.
I'm not gonna tell anybody.
- What's up with that?
- Come on.
It's fine, come on.
(insects chirping)
Dammit.
- [Tommy] What?
- The battery's dead.
When's the last time
you drove this thing?
Here, here.
- [Tommy] I don't know.
I mean, maybe a cable's
loose or something.
- Great.
- What the hell was that?
- What the hell?
Shine, your light
over here, man.
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Look at that thing.
- [Kurt] Give me the gun.
Dammit.
- [Tommy] Oh, they fried it.
(beep)
Kurt, man, what are we gonna do?
- Get the tractor battery,
we'll put it in the truck.
- [Tommy] Door's locked.
- Do you have the key?
- [Tommy] Oh, Mom's got it.
(beep)
- [Kurt] The battery
for the truck.
- [Linda] What's
wrong with the truck?
- [Kurt] They got to it.
- [Linda] What do you
mean, they got to it?
- They got to it, they got
to it, it's not working.
- And the tractor's okay?
- I don't know.
I hope so, I hope
they didn't see it.
If everything's working,
I'll be back in five minutes
and we'll get out
of here, all right.
When's the last time you
checked the phone, Linda?
- I don't know,
my watch stopped.
- [Kurt] So did mine.
- [Tommy] What?
- [Melanie] So did mine.
- [Mom] What?
Oh my God.
- [Tommy] Mine too.
Man, this is weird.
- [Kurt] What?
- Shh.
- What?
(boards creaking)
- [Tommy] Kurt, Kurt,
they're on the roof.
Kurt, what are we gonna do,
man, they're on the roof?
- Close the flue.
- [Tommy] Hey look out.
- [Melanie] Kurt.
- [Brian] Kurt.
(beep)
- It's too hot.
- Oh God.
- Look, it's probably
just raccoons.
They like to pick
through the trash.
- [Renee] I don't
know about that.
- Yes, Tommy.
- I'm gonna go check it out.
- Tommy.
- Tommy, no.
- [Kurt] Tommy,
get back in here.
What are you doing?
- [Tommy] Shh, be quiet.
- [Kurt] Stop, get inside.
Tommy.
(dog barking)
(beep)
- [Kurt] What?
Get inside.
- [Tommy] Guys, guys, I know.
- Guys.
- Kurt.
- Oh.
- Where?
- [Tommy] In the
bathroom window,
upstairs in the hallway, man.
- What are we gonna do?
- What are we gonna do?
- Shh.
Everybody stay here.
Get back.
(door creaking)
Turn that light off.
- [Tommy] Oh God.
(boards creaking)
(bells ringing)
(beep)
(door creaking)
- I got one.
- What is it?
- I got one.
- You.
- Well, you know, I still
find it hard to talk about,
but when I saw the tape, it
brought it all back to me.
You know, the
lights, the smells,
the hair raised on
the back of my neck
when I was too pissed
scared to talk.
It's not something you forget.
You don't know what it's like.
When one of those
big headed wankers
takes you out of your life and
puts you under their lights,
it's bloody terrifying.
When I saw the family,
it was like going through
the whole thing again.
Gives me the fear just
thinking about it.
You know what I mean?
- I got one.
- You what?
- I got one, get
a rope, come on.
(beep)
Go.
- Oh my God.
- Tommy, what's going on?
- Do we have any rope?
Hey man, do we have any rope?
- [Melanie] Tommy, what?
- [Tommy] Rope, rope.
- Yeah, I'm sure we got
some twine in the drawer.
- Why?
- Okay.
- What's going on?
- Over here, over here.
- [Brian] What's going on?
- [Tommy] Kurt's got
one in Mom's room.
- [Matthew] He's got what?
- [Tommy] He shut
the door on him.
- [Matthew] He's got a rope?
- [Tommy] No, he's coming.
- [Kurt] Come on, Tommy.
- [Tommy] I'm coming.
Is it there?
Here.
This is all Mom had.
- All right.
(beep)
Tommy wrap it
around the doorknob.
- [Brian] Yeah, I got
it, I got it, I got it.
- [Matthew] How do you
know he's still in there?
- He's still in there,
lock the bathroom window.
Come on, Brian.
Wrap it around the
other doorknob.
- [Brian] Okay.
- [Tommy] You got one in there?
- [Kurt] Yes.
- [Melanie] What are
you gonna do with him?
- We're gonna keep it there
until we can call somebody.
- [Tommy] Is that
gonna hold him?
So, what, we wait until then?
What if it gets out?
- [Kurt] It's not gonna get out.
- [Melanie] You can't
just leave him there.
- Mel, it's already done.
- [Tommy] Kurt.
Man, he's trying to get out.
(beep)
- [Kurt] Shut up.
- [Melanie] Oh my God.
Oh my God.
(beep)
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
- He's not going anywhere.
Come on you bastard.
- [Linda] What's happening?
- We're fine, honey,
stay downstairs.
- Holy.
- All right.
This isn't working.
- Kurt.
- Back up.
- This isn't working.
- Back up.
Let go of the rope and back up.
- Kurt.
- Stop.
- [Tommy] Kurt.
It'll only piss him off, Kurt.
- [Brian] Don't Kurt, don't.
- [Melanie] Oh God,
oh my God, oh my God.
- There you see.
Well now get downstairs.
- Let's go.
- Get out of here, come on.
- [Tommy] Kurt, the
light, the light.
(gun firing)
(beep)
(alarm ringing)
- Oh my God.
- What the hell is that?
- Ow.
- Quiet.
- Kurt.
- Gotta get it out.
- [Kurt] Mel, step back,
Matthew, take the battery out.
(alarm ringing)
- [Tommy] Did you get him?
- [Kurt] Shot gun
won't do nothing, huh?
- [Matthew] What the
hell's the matter with you?
- [Melanie] I can't
believe you shot him.
- That is the same light
that fried Brian's hand.
- [Linda] Are you okay?
- We're fine, stay downstairs.
- Man,
look at that hole.
- [Renee] Now his friends
are gonna come get us.
- [Kurt] Bull.
(beep)
Listen.
They're gone.
- [Brian] Yeah, or regrouping.
How do you know it's dead, Kurt?
- 'Cause I blew a
hole in it, Brian.
- Kurt, Kurt.
- What?
- [Brian] Your nose,
it's bleeding, man.
- [Matthew] Hey man,
what happened to you?
- I don't know.
- [Brian] What?
- [Linda] What's
happening, are you okay?
- It's fine, honey.
(door creaking)
- [Tommy] Oh.
Is it dead?
Kurt?
- [Kurt] I don't know.
- [Tommy] Hey man,
I can't see nothing.
Come on, give me some room,
I gotta get this on tape.
- [Brian] Oh, he's
dead all right.
- [Tommy] Stay back Tommy.
- Come on, let me see.
- Tommy,
I don't know if it's
dead, stay there.
He could still be alive.
- [Melanie] Don't touch it.
- [Tommy] Come on guys,
give me some room.
- [Melanie] Matthew.
- [Matthew] Oh.
- [Melanie] You're giving
me the creeps, Matthew.
- [Brian] Kurt,
where's his light gun?
- [Kurt] I don't
see it anywhere.
- [Tommy] He's so small.
Look at him.
- [Matthew] I can't
find any pulse.
- [Brian] Let's cover it up.
- [Tommy] What for?
- [Matthew] Oh come on.
- [Kurt] Fine, Mel.
- [Tommy] I can't believe it.
- [Kurt] All right,
that's good enough.
Good enough.
- We should lock it up
or something, Kurt.
- [Kurt] Come on.
Out, out, out.
- [Linda] What's
happening, are you okay?
- [Tommy] Kurt's shell
went through the door.
- [Renee] Oh my God.
(Tommy laughing)
- [Tommy] Man, you
should've seen it.
- I don't wanna see it.
Rosie, what are
you doing up here?
I told you to stay downstairs.
- Grandma, it's okay, there's
nothing to be afraid of.
- [Mom] Kurt, cover it up, I
don't want Rosie to see that.
- [Linda] It's gonna
get out, lock it up.
- [Tommy] There's no
lock on mom's door.
- [Linda] What if it
gets through the hole.
- Oh, for Pete's sake.
Brian.
- [Brian] What?
Oh.
- Good.
- Okay.
- It ain't going nowhere.
- Yeah, that's good.
- Daddy,
let's all go downstairs now.
- [Kurt] All right, let's
go, come on, let's go.
- It'll be okay, all right.
- Brian, we need to go now.
- [Linda] Okay, Rosie,
let's go make a pee pee.
- [Rosie] Why
everything's okay now.
- What is wrong with you?
Come on.
- Okay, nobody's
going to go anywhere
until Brian and I can
get the truck around.
Rosie, where are
you going, honey?
Rosie.
- [Tommy] Hey, hey Rosie.
You got her.
- [Kurt] I got her.
- [Tommy] What's up with her?
- Where were you going?
- I'm going to see it.
- No you're not, you're
going to the bathroom,
now come on.
What's wrong with her?
- She doesn't understand
what's going on.
That's all.
- Okay.
Okay, everybody.
Mel, what happened to you?
- Mel.
- What is it?
- It's your nose.
- Brian.
- [Tommy] You're bleeding, Mel.
- [Renee] Oh my God,
Brian, totally, totally.
(beep)
- [Kurt] Come here,
come here, come here.
- Damn.
- Oh, my God.
- You're fine.
- I'm bleeding.
I'm here.
- It's okay.
- I'm feeling really dizzy.
- Is everybody okay?
- Put you knees to your head.
- Somebody get some ice.
- Come on it's okay.
You're gonna be all right.
- Oh my God.
- Guys, why is this happening?
- [Brian] Renee,
here, take this.
It's just a nose bleed.
- Oh tell me you're not
gonna use my good dishcloth.
- [Tommy] Mom, it
doesn't matter.
- [Brian] It's
just a nose bleed.
- Guys no, it's not stopping.
- Okay, I'll get you
some ice, honey, hang on.
- This is one of
those dizzy spells,
I just don't know what happened.
- You okay.
- You okay, Renee?
- All right.
- All right.
- we gotta get outta here.
- Okay, it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right.
Come on, let me see.
It's fine, you're fine.
- Okay.
- Brian, we've gotta go now.
- [Brian] It's okay.
- I'm gonna be right back.
- Stay here for a minute.
- Okay.
I'm going with the guys.
- [Brian] Mel, we'll
handle it, okay.
- Oh, right, I
forgot, I'm a woman.
- It's got nothing
to do with it.
We just don't need everybody
standing around outside, okay.
- Listen, the more of us
outside there, the better.
Kurt, listen to me.
- No, stay inside.
- You guys.
- Matthew, you stay in
at the door, all right.
- All right.
- Okay.
- [Tommy] Hey, I wanna come.
- Tommy, you stay here.
- [Tommy] What?
What the hell is that?
(all screaming)
What is it?
- [Linda] Kurt.
- I'm coming.
- What's it doing?
- [Renee] Where's it going?
- [Matthew] Stay down, everybody
just stay down, stay down.
- Did it go, where'd it go?
- Stay down.
- [Renee] Oh God,
oh God, oh God.
- Oh my God.
- Renee.
- Renee, Renee.
- Renee.
- Renee, wake up honey, wake up.
- This tape is a fake.
It's a pretty incredible fake,
but I don't think it's
anything more than that.
The analysis we
did on the footage
showed images that were
more highly pixelated
than your regular
home video tape.
This could be because of
digital special effects.
The only way that this
tape could be real
is if the image being
videotaped were so intense,
that it burned a
sharper image on it.
That's possible,
but it'd be the first
time that I've seen it.
- [Melanie] Oh my God.
- Oh God.
- Come on sweetie.
- Is she okay?
- Oh God.
- Is she okay?
- Brian,
Brian I can't tell
if she's breathing.
- Shh.
- [Melanie] Does
she have a pulse?
- [Tommy] What
the hell was that?
It came through the window.
- [Melanie] Brian,
is she all right?
(fire crackling)
Does she have a pulse.
- She has a pulse.
- Oh God.
- [Tommy] Oh God.
- It's really slow.
She's breathing.
(beep)
- [Melanie] You can't
leave her on the floor.
You gotta keep her
spine straight.
- [Linda] Okay, honey.
- [Tommy] I don't believe it.
- Kurt, what do we do now?
- It's all right.
We'll get our things together
and we're gonna get ready to go.
- Okay.
- This is your fault.
- [Kurt] What?
- You shot him in cold blood.
- Brian came into our house.
- Brian.
- Maybe we scared them.
Did you ever think of that?
- [Tommy] Hey, Bri.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Brian.
- You guys.
- Brian, stay calm, stay calm.
- Give me that shotgun.
Give me that shotgun.
- Stop it.
- [Tommy] Hey you guys.
- Stop it, you guys.
- You guys.
- Get off him.
- Get off.
- [Kurt] Brian, calm down.
Brian.
- [Brian] Get off me.
- Stop it.
- Get off me.
- Stay calm.
- You guys.
- It ain't worth
it, man, stay calm.
- [Linda] Come on, Renee
has to get to a hospital.
- [Melanie] Jesus, you guys.
- Check the phone.
Check the phone.
- Forget the phone.
- Brian, you gotta cool down.
- Forget the phone,
We are getting out of here.
- I'm not leaving Renee.
- We are gonna put her
in the back of the truck
and take her to
County, all right.
Yeah.
- Okay.
Yeah.
- Brian,
we gotta look after.
- Okay,
if we can't get
the truck running,
we'll come back inside
and we'll all walk up to
the highway together, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, all right.
- That's good.
- Let's do this.
- Where's Rosie?
- [Linda] She's in the bathroom.
- [Kurt] Mom.
- Okay, I'll go check.
- All right, hurry.
Okay, everybody,
we're gonna be fine.
Just pull yourselves together.
- Alright.
- Rosie?
- All right.
It's the same plan.
- Okay.
- Okay, same deal.
I'm gonna go outside.
- Okay.
- [Kurt] Matthew, you
lock the door behind me.
- Yeah.
- You stay inside
and guard the door
and don't let anyone
in, all right.
- Okay.
What about if?
- No, no, just listen to me.
I'll knock three times.
You hear three knocks,
you know it's me, okay?
- Okay.
- Good.
- But what if you guys get?
- Tommy, no, no what ifs.
- I can't find Rosie?
- What?
- [Linda] She's in
the back bathroom.
- No she's not.
- [Linda] Oh God, no, Rosie.
- Hey, hey Linda,
where you going?
- [Linda] I'm trying
to get upstairs?
- [Tommy] Wait up,
wait up, wait up.
You're going upstairs?
- Rosie.
(beep)
Rosie.
Rosie.
Rosie, what are you doing?
Rosie, come on.
- What the hell?
Rosie.
- Come on, Rosie.
Rosie, come one.
- Get away from the door.
- What are you doing?
What's with you?
Okay, come on.
- We shouldn't be up here.
- No, no.
Let's go downstairs okay.
- Yeah, come on.
- [Kurt] Is she all right?
- [Linda] Yeah.
Kurt, I wanna get
going right now.
- Okay, okay, we will.
- I'm worried about Rosie.
She wouldn't even
talk to me upstairs.
- All right.
- Mommy, I'm okay, there's
nothing to worry about.
- [Tommy] Kurt, she was
trying to see the alien.
- Come here, sweetie, come here.
How you doing?
- I'm okay, Daddy.
- All right.
- Nothing's gonna happen to me.
- Come on.
- Calm down, Linda.
Mom, will you come
and get Rosie please?
- Guys.
- She's gonna be all right.
- [Tommy] Is she okay?
- [Brian] Yeah,
she's not in shock.
- She'll be fine, she'll
be fine, all right.
Now let's go get
the truck running.
Come on buddy.
- [Brian] Okay.
Okay.
- Come on, all right.
The sooner we get it running,
the sooner we get
her to the hospital.
Okay.
Come here, Matthew.
You know how to handle that?
- Yeah.
I have a general idea.
- All right.
If anything happens, you
don't hesitate all right.
- [Rosie] That's probably
not a good idea, Daddy.
- Daddy's gonna be fine,
sweetie, be just fine.
Brian, let's go now, come on.
- [Mom] You be careful, okay.
- [Melanie] Okay guys.
- Take care of Renee.
- Okay.
- [Melanie] Hurry back.
- We will.
You take care of Mom
and the girls, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I will.
- All right.
Okay, we'll be right back.
- [Linda] Okay.
- [Kurt] Lock the
door behind us.
- All right.
- All right.
- [Tommy] Okay.
- All right.
- I think we all should've
gone out there though.
- [Tommy] No Mom, come
on, it's better this way.
You don't know what's out there.
- [Melanie] Nobody
knows what's out there.
- I don't know, guys, I have
a bad feeling about this.
- [Tommy] They have a
shotgun and a rifle.
- [Melanie] They're
gonna be okay.
- [Linda] Okay.
- Well, they're gonna
be a few minutes,
so why don't we
all just sit down?
- [Rosie] I'm hungry.
- Well, why don't we sit
down and have a snack?
- [Linda] What are
you talking about?
- [Tommy] Mom, not now.
- Now is not a good time.
- Okay.
- Now is not the
time, Mrs. McPherson.
- But they're gonna
be a few minutes.
Why don't we just
have something to eat.
- Okay, okay, I'll get
some white meat for Rosie.
Come on.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- [Mom] Come on, sweetie pie.
- [Matthew] Mel, you staying?
- [Melanie] Yeah,
just for a bit.
- [Tommy] Is she all right?
- [Melanie] I'll
take care of her.
- Okay.
Okay, here we go, Rosie.
Nice big piece of
white meat for you.
How's that?
Okay.
Now how about some of
grandma's smashed potatoes?
Okay.
Tommy, you want some?
- [Tommy] No, I'm not hungry.
- [Melanie] This broccoli's
pretty good, Mom,
what'd you put in it?
- Oh, just a little
garlic butter.
Hey, you want a
piece of turkey, Mel?
- Mom, you know
I don't eat meat.
- [Mom] Well, just a little bit.
- No.
- [Mom] Linda.
- No, that's all right.
Why don't we hear the truck
they should've been back by now.
- Look, they'll be
back in a few minutes.
Don't worry.
- I'm worried, okay.
I'm gonna worry if I want to.
Don't tell me not to worry.
They should have
been back by now.
- Linda, come on, sit down.
- Well, we have to be ready.
- We will be ready.
It's only been a
couple of minutes.
- Okay.
- Sit down.
- Mommy, you'll be
with Daddy soon.
- Okay.
How are you doing,
honey, you okay?
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
(gun firing)
- [Tommy] What was that?
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
That's gunshots.
(guns firing)
- Oh my God.
- Oh.
- [Linda] What's happening?
(guns firing)
- Shh.
(guns firing)
- [Tommy] Okay.
- [Narrator]
Warning, this program
contains disturbing
and graphic images.
Viewer discretion is advised.
- I'm fascinated by the
little girl's behavior.
I would have expected her
to either have been more
withdrawn or more manic.
I also find it curious
that of the whole family,
she is the one
that remains calm.
As a matter of fact,
at times she takes
on the parent's role,
trying to calm the others.
She's almost possessed.
I find it very disturbing.
- Oh my God.
- Oh God.
That's the one, the
one that Brian's hand.
- [Melanie] Linda, Linda.
- [Tommy] Hey Linda, Linda,
Kurt said not to go
out there, Linda.
Linda.
- Linda, you promised him.
- I have to see if he's okay.
Kurt.
- [Tommy] Look, they said to
wait for the knock on the door.
- No, it's three knocks,
then we know it's them.
Come one now.
- Look, I'm sure
they're all right.
It was probably just the
truck backfiring, right Linda?
Right, Linda?
- [Linda] What?
- The truck, sometimes
backfires, right?
- Right.
- [Tommy] They've gotta be okay.
- Yeah, Linda, they
gotta be, I mean,
we didn't hear them
yelling or screaming.
They're gonna be okay.
- Matthew, it
could be him, okay.
You got to let me out.
You got to let you
see if he's all right.
- Listen to me, it's
better if you stay here.
Just stay here.
- No, let me out.
- Linda.
- Come on.
- Linda, come on.
- You have no right,
you're not even
part of this family.
- Linda.
- Linda.
- Just calm down, calm down.
You'll feel better, go sit down.
Come on, come on.
Everything's gonna be fine.
- I think we all need to
take it easy for a while.
- [Tommy] I'm not kidding.
(upbeat piano music)
- [Melanie] Rosie, do you
have to play that now?
(upbeat piano music)
Rosie.
- [Tommy] Mom.
Did you teach Rosie
to play like that?
- [Mom] What?
- [Tommy] Rosie.
- [Mom] No.
(upbeat piano music)
Rosie, you play so well, honey.
- [Tommy] Where
did she learn that?
(upbeat piano music)
- [Melanie] Hey,
what are you doing?
- [Tommy] Whoa, whoa,
what's up with you guys?
- I'm sorry.
I thought.
- I can't believe it.
- [Tommy] What are you doing?
- I thought she was you.
- [Melanie] Yeah, right.
- No.
- She felt like you.
She, she.
- Oh God.
Oh God.
- Don't you,
we're being screwed with here,
don't you get it?
- No.
- Mommy, calm down.
- They're messing with us.
- Everything will
be okay, trust me.
- Okay.
- Look, I told you,
I told you we should've
gone out there with them.
(beep)
What?
- [Tommy] My
battery's almost dead.
- Oh, finally.
- [Tommy] I have another one
in my bag, just a minute.
- Come on, honey, it's okay.
- Matthew, will you pass
me that bottle of wine,
over there in the
counter, please?
- [Tommy] Mom.
Mom, I think you've
had enough, okay.
- One glass, it's all I've had.
- [Tommy] You had.
Look, I just think maybe.
- Right.
16, he thinks he
knows everything.
You've got no idea.
- [Tommy] Mom, I'm just saying.
- Tommy.
If I wanna have a glass of wine
every once in a while to relax,
there's nothing wrong with that.
- [Tommy] It's not every
once in a while, Mom,
it's not even just wine.
(beep)
- Stop treating me
like an alcoholic.
You can turn up the heat
'cause I'm freezing.
- [Melanie] Maybe we should
get another blanket for Renee.
- [Tommy] I wonder
how she's doing.
- [Melanie] I don't know.
- [Tommy] Do you
think she can hear us?
Mel, Mel, come look at this.
- What is it?
- Look,
look at her.
- Oh my God.
- What's happening to her?
- God.
Get Mom.
Oh my God.
- [Matthew] Just get a
washcloth to soak it.
- [Tommy] Matthew, what's
the matter with her?
Why is that coming
out of her mouth?
- Will this do?
- Oh God.
- Oh my God.
- Here, here.
- Matthew.
- Oh God, that's so gross.
Oh Renee.
- [Tommy] Is she okay?
Is she's gonna be okay?
- [Melanie] It's
okay, it's okay.
- [Tommy] Matthew.
- Yeah, she'll be fine.
- [Tommy] What was that?
- I don't know, she was
having some sort of.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
- Hold her feet down,
hold her feet down.
- [Tommy] What's
the matter with her?
- Renee.
- Renee.
- [Tommy] I thought
you said she was okay.
Do something.
- She's having a seizure,
maybe it's the
cold or something,
I don't know.
- Hold her down.
- [Tommy] What do you do?
- [Melanie] Renee, come on.
- Her feet.
- Stop it, stop it.
Stop it, you're okay.
- [Mom] Shh, please
stop, please.
- [Melanie] You're okay.
- [Tommy] Looks like
they're going away.
- [Melanie] It's
okay, it's okay.
- [Mom] Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah.
- Get a blanket out of the
linen closet for her, will you?
- Yeah.
- Yeah,
get one for us too, Tommy.
- Okay.
- [Melanie] Oh, wait, do
you want me to go with you?
- [Tommy] What, am I a baby?
I'm not scared of it.
- Fine.
- [Tommy] Don't even think
about messing with me, you.
(beep)
Don't even think about it.
Oh God.
Oh God.
All right, you bastard.
I'll blow your ass away.
(door creaking)
Oh God.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom, it's gone.
- [Mom] What?
- [Tommy] Mom.
It's gone, it's gone.
- [Mom] What?
- You guys.
- What?
- [Tommy] It's gone.
- What's gone, what's gone?
What do you mean?
- It's not
in the bedroom anymore.
- What do you mean it's gone?
- [Tommy] I don't know,
maybe we didn't kill it.
It moved, so did the cabinet
from in front of the door.
(door knocking)
- Kurt, it's Kurt.
- No.
- It's Kurt.
- Open the door.
- Linda wait.
- That was only two knocks,
they said three, come on now.
Get it together.
- I don't care what he said.
It's him.
Open the door.
Open the door.
- I'm not opening
the door, Linda.
- [Melanie] Matthew, we
should see what's out there.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
He could be trying to get in.
Matthew, come on.
- All right, all right, fine.
Back away from the
door, just back away.
- [Tommy] Okay.
Come on guys, back up.
- Matthew.
- Kurt.
Kurt.
- [Tommy] Oh God.
- They must've already started
back with at the truck.
- What?
- All right,
let's go back and sit down.
- What?
No, I have to see
him, he's out there.
- Come on Linda, take it easy.
- Linda.
- Linda.
- Come on Linda.
- It's time for you
to sit down now, Linda.
- No, I'm going out there.
- Listen to me,
I'm gong out there.
Mel, get my coat.
Listen, it's no big deal.
If they're not out there,
I'll just walk up to
the road and get my car.
We'll all squeeze in.
We'll get the hell out
of here, end of story.
- Matthew, I don't think
you should leave us here.
- Listen, everything's gonna
be fine, I'm not going far.
I'm just going up the road,
I'm gonna have a quick look
and then I'm gonna get my car,
everything's gonna be fine.
- Matthew.
- Mel, please.
I'm going.
- [Melanie] You'll need this.
- No, you keep it
here just in case.
Now you know how
to use it, right?
- [Tommy] I do.
- Mel?
- Yeah, yeah.
- All right then.
I love you.
- Wait Matthew.
Okay, Linda, grab Rosie.
Mom, Tommy, help me carry Renee.
(door knocking)
That was fast.
- What the hell?
- [Melanie] Matthew.
- From an anthropological
standpoint,
the behavior of these beings
could be considered
actually quite logical.
In fact, the abduction
of the McPhersons
could be construed
as a higher species
gathering samples
of a lower species.
It is unclear if they set
out to capture the McPhersons
or if they felt threatened
enough to attack them.
If the three brothers
hadn't interrupted,
whatever procedure was
being done on the cow,
none of this might've happened.
- [Tommy] Where is he?
- Matthew.
- Mel.
(insects chirping)
- Wasn't that Matthew?
- [Melanie] No,
Mom, no one's there.
- [Tommy] No one?
- [Melanie] No one.
Let's carry Renee.
- [Tommy] Hey.
- That's better.
- The phone.
- The radio, yes.
- [Melanie] What happened?
- [Tommy] I don't know.
- [Melanie] It's dead.
(beep)
- [Tommy] Hey.
- [Melanie] Did
you get everything?
- What's going on?
- I don't get this.
It doesn't make any sense.
That circuit breakers,
they were whacked.
- It's them, they're doing it.
- No, no Linda, take it easy.
Sometimes they start and stop
the power a couple of times
before they get it started.
- No, Mel,
I'm telling you nothing could
get through that circuit box.
They're messing with us.
- Scott.
Scott, where've you been,
we've been waiting for you?
- [Tommy] Mom,
are you all right?
- I'm fine, but you look beat.
You could close early every
once in a while, you know.
- [Tommy] Mom, who
are you talking to?
- Turn the TV on, Tommy.
I'm gonna get you a
nice cold beer, honey.
- Come on Mom, sit
down and relax.
- Melanie don't interrupt me
when I'm talking to your father.
- [Tommy] There is
nobody there, Mom.
- Don't you dare raise
your hand to your father.
- Come on, Mom.
- Come on, Rosaline, let's
sit down and rest, okay.
- Come on.
- I'm hot.
I'm hot, are you hot?
- Yeah, it's warm in here.
It got really warm.
- There's something wrong
with the thermostat.
- [Tommy] There's
no electricity Mom,
that's what's wrong with it.
- You don't need to
take that tone with me.
- [Rosie] I'm hot too.
Can I have a glass
of water, Mommy?
- [Linda] Yeah, sure honey.
- [Melanie] It's okay, Mom.
(Mom crying)
- They shut off the water.
- That's okay, I don't
need any, do you?
- [Linda] I'm all right, honey.
- [Tommy] They didn't
shut off the water, Linda,
there's no electricity
for the pump.
Hey, there's some fruit
juice in the fridge,
it's probably still cold.
- Oh, I got bit by like
a spider or something.
Rosaline, look at
this, what is it?
- [Tommy] What?
- Look, what is it?
- What is it?
- Oh.
- Oh God it's.
- [Tommy] What is that?
- It's burning like hell.
- I can't, I can't.
- Let me see, Mom.
- [Tommy] I think I
have one too, guys.
- Mom.
- Do I have one?
- Oh my God.
- What is it?
- This isn't a bite,
it's from them.
- Ouch.
- Get some water.
- How?
(beep)
How could it be from them?
- Let's get water, Mom, come on.
- They turned off the water.
- Ow.
- Turn it on.
- Is it burning?
- Ah.
- Is it burning?
- Oh.
She's worse.
- [Tommy] It feels
like, someone's
taking a burning stick
right to my neck.
- Rosaline, do you
have any burning cream?
- It's in the hall bathroom.
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Mom, Mom.
Okay, just calm down okay,
just don't itch it for a minute.
- I can't.
- [Melanie] Rosie, is your
neck, okay, is it itchy?
- [Rosie] No, I'm fine.
- Here.
- Does yours burn too?
- Yeah, it really burns.
Ow, geez.
- Rosie, close your neck.
- [Rosie] I'm fine, Mom.
- [Tommy] What
are you doing Mel?
- It's burned, put
some ice on this.
- Give me some ice.
- Yeah, yeah,
give me some of that.
- Yeah.
- It will stop burning in
a minute, Aunt Melanie.
- [Melanie] I hope
so, it really hurts.
- Oh, oh God.
- Oh.
- Ah.
- It will stop
burning in a minute.
- It's better.
- It's gone.
- [Tommy] I thought it was
gonna burn right through me,
for a minute.
- Power's on.
- Oh my God.
- [Tommy] That's impossible.
- [Mom] Honey.
We don't need the dishwasher
right now, turn it off.
- [Melanie] What the hell?
(blender blades whirring)
Oh my God.
- [Narrator] How
are they doing that?
- [Melanie] I don't know.
- [Mom] I'm having one of
those hot flashes again.
- [Rosie] Open the door.
- Linda.
- Oh God.
Linda.
- Linda, no.
- [Linda] Kurt.
- [Melanie] No.
- Kurt.
- Kurt.
Matthew.
- Kurt.
- Oh.
(beep)
- [Melanie] What is it?
Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
- Linda, hey, hey,
Mel, don't, don't.
Mom, Mom, Rosie, get
back into the house.
- Go on, grandma, go
back in the house,
it'll be okay.
- Kurt.
- Oh my God.
- [Linda] No.
- Linda, come on.
- Linda.
- No.
- Linda.
- I gotta, no.
- No.
- [Tommy] It's not safe.
- [Linda] Oh my God.
(Linda crying)
They took him, oh my
God, they took him.
- [Melanie] Linda.
- Kurt.
(Linda crying)
Why did you have
to start with them?
This is all your fault.
- [Tommy] We didn't do anything.
- Kurt.
Answer me, where are you?
- Mom, it's okay, go back
in the house and calm down.
- Kurt.
- Aunt Mel, will you help me?
- Linda, Rosie's right.
Let's go back in the house.
They're probably on the highway,
they'll be back in a minute.
Come on, sweetie.
- He's dead.
He's dead I know it.
- Linda.
- Linda.
- [Melanie] Please.
(Linda crying)
Linda, Linda.
Linda, look.
Linda.
- [Linda] Oh my God.
- [Melanie] Everyone
back inside, now.
- Rosie, come on.
- Now.
- [Linda] Rosie.
- Run.
- Come on.
- [Tommy] Run.
What, it's locked?
- Who locked it?
- Don't look at me.
- [Mom] We didn't touch it.
- All right, get outta
the way, just hurry.
- Tommy.
- We gotta back in there.
- [Mom] Tommy, Tommy, don't,
you're gonna break it.
- [Tommy] Good.
- [Mom] Tommy.
- Oh God, Matthew.
- The light.
You guys, the light.
- Come on.
- Come on, we have to go.
- Come on.
- Mom, Linda, move it.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Let's just stay here.
Just stay here.
Shh.
Tommy, don't, don't.
- [Tommy] It's okay.
- [Linda] What's happening?
- [Tommy] It stopped,
wait, it stopped.
(crickets chirping)
Mel, okay look, Mel,
we can't stay here.
(door unlocking)
- What was that?
- [Tommy] Sounds
like a door lock.
- Let's all go inside now.
- No, Rosie,
I'm not going inside.
- Hold on.
- Now.
- [Linda] Rosie, hold on.
- [Tommy] Mel, Mel, I
think she's right, come on.
(telephone ringing)
- Is that the phone?
- That could be Kurt.
- [Melanie] Okay,
just stay here.
- No Mel, Mel.
- Mel.
(telephone ringing)
Guys.
- Hurry.
- Come on.
- [Linda] Come
on, come on Rosie.
(telephone ringing)
- Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
- Who was it?
- It's nobody.
- [Tommy] What?
- What?
What's that?
- TV.
Oh God, oh God.
They won't turn off.
They're already off.
- What's that?
- What the hell?
- [Linda] Mel, do something.
- What am I supposed to do?
- I don't know.
- Hello.
(telephone ringing)
Kurt.
- The doorknobs,
the door.
You guys, you hear that?
The doorknobs.
They're trying to get in.
- It's Kurt.
- You guys,
the doorknobs.
- It's Kurt.
- [Tommy] It's not Kurt.
Get away from there.
Mel, get her back from there.
- It's them.
Help me block the
door with something.
- No.
- Tommy, can you put the
camera down for a second
and help me out.
- [Linda] Oh God.
- Mom.
- Mel, this one.
The front door.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I
got it, I got it.
- There's someone out there.
- I got it.
(Linda crying)
- [Melanie] What are they doing?
- [Linda] I shouldn't
have let him go out there.
Shouldn't have let
him go out there.
- [Melanie] Linda, there
was nothing you could do.
- He shouldn't have left us.
- [Tommy] He was
trying to protect you.
- He didn't have
to go out there.
(Linda crying)
Stop it.
(Linda crying)
- Mommy.
Mommy.
(Linda crying)
Renee's dead.
- All the government
denial regarding the tape
fits right into their
pattern of disinformation.
They figure if they say it
didn't happen, it didn't happen.
But I've studied probably
a hundred reports
of alien abductions and
almost every one of them,
the aliens look just like
we see them on the tape.
I performed kinetic
analysis of their movements.
It proves conclusively,
these are actual beings
of that size and shape.
(Linda crying)
- Renee's dead.
(Linda crying)
- [Tommy] How did that happen?
She was alive just a minute ago.
- No, Rosie, she's
just sleeping.
- [Tommy] That doesn't
make any sense.
- Quiet, quiet.
I can't hear her heart.
- Oh my God.
- You can't hear it
because she's dead.
(Linda crying)
- Rosie, come here,
let's leave Renee alone.
- Why, everything's okay now.
- Rosie, come on honey.
- Mel, Mel, check there.
- Tommy, I can't.
No, Tommy, it's not there.
- Oh my God,
Mel, she's so cold.
- There's no pulse.
- Mel.
- Tommy, I don't
know what to do.
- No.
- Oh God.
Renee.
- [Tommy] Mel.
Mel.
(Melanie crying)
Mel.
Mel.
Mel, Mel, come on.
Mel.
Mel, come on, she's gone.
Okay, come on Mel, she's gone.
- I'm sorry.
- Let it go.
- No, Tommy.
- Mel.
Mel.
- [Melanie] Tommy.
(Linda crying)
- Anyone need some tea?
Come on, Mom, come on.
Aunt Mel, you can make it,
there's already cold
water in the kettle.
(Linda crying)
Come on Melanie, it will
give you something to do.
- When Kurt and
I were teenagers,
we used to sneak in the pantry,
that's where we, we first.
- Please, please, please Linda,
not in front of Rosie.
- Let's play cards.
- That's a good idea, Rosie.
We could play Go Fish.
Tommy, you wanna get the cards?
- [Tommy] Mom.
- Is there something
else you'd like to do?
- Turkey?
- [Melanie] I'm not hungry.
- [Linda] I don't want any tea.
- I'll get the cards.
- I was thinking
a nice light tope
for the front steps, Tommy.
- [Tommy] What?
- The front steps.
- [Tommy] I thought
you wanted it
in the same color as
the rest of the house?
- No, I think a nice
tope would be better.
- [Tommy] Man, do
I have a headache.
- That's probably from
looking through that
camera all night.
- [Tommy] It just started.
- I'm telling you,
it's from looking through
that camera all night.
It's time to put it down.
- Gotta get some asprin.
(Tommy crying)
My name is Thomas McPherson,
we were attacked by aliens.
I think they killed my brothers,
Kurt and Brian McPherson.
They killed Renee,
that's my brothers,
Brian's, girlfriend.
My sister, Mel, her
boyfriend, Matthew,
he's still out there.
I guess we're gonna
wait here until morning.
(Tommy crying)
I don't want to die.
I'm really afraid.
I don't think we're
gonna make it.
I miss my dad,
I wish he were here.
I can't believe
this is happening,
I wish it were all over.
(Tommy coughing)
I love you, Mom.
I love you, Linda.
I love you, Mel.
I love you, Rosie.
- Uncle Tommy, it's time
to put the camera down.
- [Tommy] Okay.
(Tommy crying)
- Remember the time I made
Brian play 52 Pick Up.
(all laughing)
- Uncle Tommy, why
don't you deal?
- Okay.
(upbeat piano music)
- What are we playing?
- Go Fish.
- Okay, Go Fish.
- How many cards?
- Seven.
(upbeat piano music)
- What are we playing?
- Go Fish, Tommy,
are you all right?
(upbeat piano music)
- Yeah, it's just my
head that's killing me.
- Well, take some
asprin or something.
- It's really killing me.
Rosie, Rosie, could you
knock it off please?
I have a headache.
(upbeat piano music)
- Rosie.
Can't you see Uncle
Tommy has a headache.
- Come on, Rosie,
that's enough for now,
Mom's got one too.
- Rosie, could you please stop?
My head is pounding.
I can't take that anymore.
- Come on, Rosie.
- There, is that
better, Uncle Tommy?
- Yeah, that's a lot
better, thank you.
- Let's all go outside now.
- No Rosie, we're
not going anywhere.
We have to stay here
and wait for your daddy.
Wouldn't want him to come home
and not find us, would you?
- He's not coming back.
- Finish the deal.
- Oh, yeah.
Okay.
How many cards?
- Seven.
Aren't you gonna play Rosie?
- I've got other
things to take care of.
- And a nice light blue
for the guest bedroom.
Dad'll like that,
don't you think?
- Pop's dead, Mom.
- Give me fives.
- Oh, you got me good.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
(beep)
- Oh my God, come
on guys, let's go.
Guys, we have to go.
Come on, let's go.
Come on, Linda,
let's go, you guys.
Come on.
What the hell is
the matter with you?
Linda.
Linda.
You guys.
Rosie.
What?
(gentle music)
of 1997, a 16 year old boy
set out to document his
family's Thanksgiving dinner.
What he purportedly
captured on his video camera
was more than just a
family get together.
The following footage if real,
could be the most
important evidence ever
supporting the possibility
that we are not alone
in the universe.
This footage contains explicit
and frightening images.
Now, for the first time ever
watch the complete
and unedited tape
and decide for yourself.
"Alien Abduction,
did it happen?"
(suspenseful music)
(upbeat piano music)
- Okay, okay, I
got it working now.
- [Kurt] Yeah right,
you've been saying that
for the last half hour.
- No, the red
light's on this time.
(upbeat piano music)
Okay, here we have my mom.
This is my niece, Rosie.
They're jamming away
to a wicked version
of "Chopsticks" on the piano.
(upbeat piano music)
- That was fun Grandma.
- You played real good, honey.
- [Kurt] You did.
- Time to wash your hands.
- [Tommy] Hey, nice bird Kurtis.
- Thank you.
- [Tommy] Yeah, like you
had anything to do with it.
- Well, let's see.
I paid for it.
Does that count?
- [Tommy] Oh yes, Kurt,
the bait shop king.
- Hey, bait has put food on
your table all your life,
you little punk.
- [Tommy] You mean all this
time I've been eating fish bait?
- Smart ass.
- Shocking.
Hey, Mom, aren't we going to
wait for Mel and her boyfriend?
- Oh, you know Mel,
she'll turn up as soon
as the turkey's carved.
Tommy, don't point that
thing at me anymore.
- [Tommy] Sorry, for wanting
your great-grandchildren
to know what you looked like.
- I think it's great.
- Yeah, he blows his
inheritance on a video camera
and you think that's great?
- [Tommy] It wasn't
the whole thing.
- I wish you'd taped your
dad when he was still alive.
- [Tommy] Me, too.
- Rosie, go wash
your hands, honey.
- [Rosie] I just did, Dad.
- Let's see.
Hmm, looks pretty good.
Where's Brian and Renee?
- [Tommy] I'll find 'em.
Fornicating in the bathroom.
Naughty, naughty.
- [Renee] Brian, please.
- [Brian] Not until you say yes.
- [Renee] I'll think about it.
Come on, Bri, your
mom's in the other room.
- [Brian] Maybe this'll
help you decide.
- [Renee] Oh my god.
- [Tommy] Sorry, guys.
- Hey, you little jerk.
Gimme that, I want that tape.
- [Tommy] No, chill out,
man, I'll erase it, hold on.
- [Brian] That
better be erasing.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I'm erasing it.
- [Brian] I swear I'll
kick the crap out of you.
- [Tommy] Hold on,
cool, ow, cool it.
- [Brian] Just, erasing?
- [Tommy] There.
- You're so full of it.
Gimme that.
- [Tommy] No, I swear it's done.
- Well then, let me see it.
- [Tommy] Chill out, it's
done all right, I swear it.
Look, Mom's got
dinner on the table.
It's getting cold.
- Are you okay?
Are Melanie and Matthew here?
- [Tommy] Get real.
You know Mel, she'll show up
just as soon as we sit down.
- [Kurt] Matthew, that
her new boyfriend?
- [Tommy] Yeah.
- What's this one do?
- Brian.
- [Tommy] I dunno.
He's studying to be a psych
professor or something.
- Tommy, that's enough video
for one night, don't you think?
- [Tommy] This is
my career, Mom.
- [Brian] What career?
- [Tommy] Music
and video director.
- Yeah, right.
You can't even hold
the thing steady.
- It's supposed
to look like this.
(all laughing)
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
- [Tommy] What was that?
- [Renee] What happened?
- [Brian] I don't
know, lightening?
- [Tommy] I don't
hear any thunder, man.
- [Linda] Rosie,
you okay, honey?
- I'm okay.
- Great, power's out.
- [Mom] Oh no.
- [Kurt] You wanna grab a
flashlight please, Tommy?
- [Tommy] Wait, there's
a light on my camera.
- [Kurt] All right.
We'll be right back.
- Wait, where are you gonna go?
- [Kurt] I just wanna go
check the circuit breakers.
- Well, hurry up, I don't
want this dinner getting cold.
- [Brian] I'll
light the lanterns.
- Okay.
- Come on in, honey.
- Hi.
- [Tommy] Hey, Mel.
What's up?
- [Melanie] Oh I'm telling you
this'll be the best
Thanksgiving ever.
- [Tommy] Hey, hey.
How are you doing?
- Tommy.
That is such a nice shirt.
It looks good.
- [Tommy] Thank you.
- What's with the camera?
- [Tommy] I'm making a video
of our Thanksgiving dinner.
- Oh, great, a
study in neurosis.
Matthew, this is my
baby brother, Tommy.
Tommy, this is Matthew.
- Hey, how you doing?
- Hey.
- Good to meet you.
- So, what's going on?
Why are all the lights out?
- [Tommy] We blew a circuit
breaker of something.
- Oh, did you see
the lightening?
- [Tommy] Yeah,
yeah, it was awesome.
- Yeah.
- [Kurt] Where've you been?
- Nice to see you too, Kurt.
What happened here, did
you get into a fight?
- Yeah, with a ladder.
- Yeah.
- Matthew, this is my
older brother, Kurt.
Kurt, this is Matthew.
- Matt.
- Actually, it's Matthew.
- Matthew.
- Hey, Bri, and this is
my younger brother, Brian.
- Hey, how're ya doing?
- Hey, what's up?
- All right, let's go
turn the lights back on.
- Don't worry about it.
We'll be back in a minute.
- Okay.
- [Tommy] Take care of Mel.
- See you later Tom.
- See you.
- Hi, Rosie.
Hi, Mom.
- I thought you were going to
paint the front steps, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I will.
- [Brian] When?
- [Tommy] I told Mom
I'd do it this weekend.
- [Brian] Aren't you supposed
to do the guest room too?
- [Tommy] I'll get to it, Brian.
- Thought you were supposed
to do it last weekend.
- [Tommy] I'll get to it.
Jesus, why don't you do
something around here?
- I'm going to school, dork.
- [Tommy] Well, gosh, I'm
going to school, too, dork-ass.
- [Kurt] Knock it off.
Can you guys believe Mel?
- [Tommy] What about her?
- [Kurt] This Matthew guy.
- Why, because Matt's black?
- [Tommy] Hey, it's
Matthew, come on.
- Shut up, the guy's
got a major attitude.
- Right, 'cause he's
doing our sister.
(Tommy laughing)
- What, do you
think that's funny?
- Yeah.
- He's cool, he's just a brain.
- No he's not.
Is that thing still on?
- Yeah.
- Well, turn it off.
- The light'll go off, man.
No one's gonna see it.
- I think she just should
have told us the guy's black,
that's all I'm saying.
- [Tommy] What
difference does it make?
- [Kurt] It doesn't.
- [Brian] Whoa.
Hey, it's smoking.
- Yeah.
- Look at that.
(beep)
- Careful.
Here, this is how you handle
a fuse box, college boy.
Whoa, look at that.
- [Tommy] Give me some
room, let me see it.
Its totally melted.
- Yeah.
- It stinks, mans.
What could have done that?
- Lightening.
- Did that?
- Maybe.
(lighting popping)
- What the hell was that?
- Did you see that?
- [Kurt] What was
that, lightening.
- That didn't look
like lightening.
- [Tommy] It came from the
Berkenhausers' pasture.
- No, it didn't.
- [Tommy] Yeah, it did,
I saw it on the camera.
Hey, it's probably that
big transformer's blown.
Let's go check it out.
- Hey, let's not.
- [Tommy] No, come on.
We're gonna have to call the
power company about it, anyway.
- All right, tell Mom we'll
be a few more minutes.
Come on, Brian, keep up.
- [Tommy] Go on, Bri.
- You go on, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Go on, Bri.
- Screw you.
- Tommy,
Tommy, get.
- [Tommy] Hey, guys, wait up.
Mom's already on her
second glass of wine.
- What, what?
I thought you had that
big talk with her.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I did.
She's not gonna stop.
She hides these vodka bottles
like I'm not gonna find 'em.
- Oh, man, why don't you
do something about it?
- [Tommy] And what am I
supposed to do about it, Brian?
- Why don't you throw
the bottles away?
- [Tommy] Well, I think
she'd just buy new ones.
- Did you tell her
about the support group?
- [Tommy] She blew me off.
- [Brian] She
still acting weird?
- [Tommy] Yeah, she goes
through Dad's closet
and feels his clothes.
- Damn it, Tommy, you
gotta tell us this stuff
before it gets this bad.
- [Tommy] I am.
I'm doing it.
You guys are never around.
- Oh, give me a break, Tommy.
I'm trying to run a business.
I don't have time to breathe,
never mind sit around
and catch Mom having a drink.
- Well, now you know, okay?
- It's not his fault.
- [Tommy] Mom's drinking again.
More than when Dad died.
- [All] Whoa.
- [Tommy] Man, did you see that?
- [Brian] Yeah.
- [Tommy] Look at it.
Careful.
- [Tommy] It's
completely freaking out.
- [Brian] We gotta call someone.
- [Tommy] Hey man,
that's not gonna
catch anything on fire is it?
- [Kurt] No, it's fine.
- [Brian] Kurt, we
gotta call someone.
(cables exploding)
What is that?
- [Tommy] What?
- [Brian] Over there, Tommy.
- What?
- Whoa.
(cables exploding)
- [Tommy] What the hell is that?
- [Kurt] Something from
the air force base.
- [Tommy] Damn, it's huge.
The power company wouldn't
have something like that.
(suspenseful music)
Holy.
(beep)
It looks like a UFO.
- [Kurt] A what?
Get outta here.
- [Brian] Shut up.
- [Tommy] That looks
like a UFO man, no wait.
- [Kurt] How do you work
this thing, I can't see.
- [Tommy] I swear to
God, that's a, UFO.
- Fine, fine, where is it?
- Shh.
What did I tell you, damn.
- [Brian] Quiet you guys.
What's that guy doing?
What's that guy doing?
(beep)
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Hey, man, that's
my camera, come on.
- [Kurt] That's an alien.
- Give it back.
- What?
- [Kurt] I swear, it's a.
(beep)
Alien.
- [Brian] Oh man.
- [Kurt] Quiet Tommy.
- [Brian] I don't believe this.
- What?
- There's another guy.
- [Tommy] Oh my God,
there's two of 'em.
- [Kurt] Just be
quiet, you guys,
don't say a word.
What's he doing?
What's he doing?
- [Tommy] Come on,
let me see, come on,
it's my camera.
- [Kurt] Let me see.
- Let me see, Dammit.
- [Kurt] Holy.
(beep)
- [Tommy] What?
- [Kurt] What are
they doing Brian?
(cow moaning)
- What?
- What are they doing Brian?
- [Brian] They're cutting
open one of the cows.
- [Tommy] What's are they doing?
- [Brian] He's just cutting it.
- [Kurt] What?
- [Tommy] What are they?
- [Kurt] What are
they doing, Brian?
- [Brian] Just cutting
it, just cutting it.
- [Kurt] Brian?
What?
- [Brian] They see us.
One of them looked right at me.
(beep)
They see us.
(all screaming)
- I'm not comfortable
with a statement
confirming or denying
the possibility
that the McPhersons were
abducted by extraterrestrials.
My deputy found the tape
at the McPhersons' place
and the McPhersons haven't
been heard from since.
Now, beyond that,
I have no comment.
(all screaming)
- What was that?
- Brian, get up.
(beep)
Forget it, Tommy.
- I'll get the camera.
- Forget your camera, come on.
- All right.
- Come on.
Brian, come on.
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Guys, run, run.
- [Kurt] Come on, come, keep up.
This way, over here, over here.
- [Tommy] Brian.
- [Kurt] Tommy.
Come on Brian, come on.
Keep up Tommy.
Look out.
Quick.
(beep)
I got you.
Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah.
- [Kurt] Come on.
We need to get the
hell outta here.
Grab your coats,
we're leaving now.
- [Renee] What's the matter?
- [Brain] Call 911.
- What?
- What?
- Just hurry up.
- Brian.
- What's going on?
- [Tommy] There's
aliens out there.
- Hey, watch your
language, Tommy.
- There's what?
- [Tommy] They
shot Brian's hand.
- Who shot?
- Brian.
- [Tommy] Aliens,
there's a UFO out there,
we have to go.
- A UFO.
- What happened?
- The phone's dead.
Wait, what do you mean,
they shot your hand?
- [Kurt] They jabbed
his hand with something.
We need to get out of here now.
- [Renee] Brian,
please sweetheart.
- [Tommy] There's a UFO ship
and aliens at the
big transformer.
- [Melanie] Oh please.
- [Brian] Mom, we
gotta get going.
- [Tommy] They saw
us, we have to go.
- [Kurt] Linda,
grab Rosie's coat.
- All right.
- [Melanie] Are you guys stoned?
- [Tommy] No, we're not stoned.
- Are we leaving already?
- [Tommy] For, sake,
Brian, show 'em your hand.
- Brian please can I see that?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
We got to get that
under cold water.
- [Melanie] Okay,
I've got to see this.
Are you coming?
- [Matthew] I ain't
going out there.
- [Kurt] No, no, there's no
way you're going out there.
- Are you ordering
me not to go outside?
- Yes, we are all
leaving together.
- What are you talking about?
Please, please keep
your voices down.
You're gonna scare Rosie.
- Kurt, this isn't funny.
- This isn't a joke.
We need to get outta here
before they get
back to the house.
- [Matthew] A UFO.
- [Tommy] It looked like a ship,
a big black ball or something,
just over the ridge.
- They saw us, then
they fired at us.
- Okay, so we saw some aliens.
Can we have some dinner now?
- Sorry, I'm not buying it boys.
- [Tommy] Go see for yourself.
- I would.
- No, no one is going
out there alone.
Hey, what's that?
- What's happening.
- Let me see.
- Let me see.
- Let me see.
- Let me see.
- [Brian] That
thing, it took off.
Kurt, they're leaving.
- What?
- They're leaving.
- Are you sure?
- [Melanie] Well, wait,
what are those lights?
That's what we're talking about.
UFO, spaceship, whatever.
- But they're
leaving now, right?
- [Brian] It looks like it.
(beep)
- [Tommy] You missed it.
- Oh, that's convenient.
- Come on, everybody calm down.
Let's go and light the
Thanksgiving candle
and have some dinner.
- That's a good idea, Grandma.
- [Tommy] We gotta
tell somebody.
- Yeah, and if the
we're not related.
- Yeah, nice try boys.
- Come on, honey.
- It wasn't a joke, Mel.
- [Mom] Rosie,
let's go sit down.
- [Brian] Kurt, we
should do something.
- We should like the
Thanksgiving candle.
That's what we should do.
Now come on.
- Come on, Bri.
Let's put your hand into
some cold water now.
Brian, now.
- [Tommy] This isn't a joke.
You're lucky you weren't there.
- Are the rifles
still in the mudroom?
- [Tommy] Yeah, in the closet.
Kurt.
- Kurt.
Kurt, come on.
- I'm not gonna go sit
down after what I just saw.
- So what do you
want to do about it?
Look, your mom has been
looking forward to this
for a long time.
Now she wants all of
us to be a part of it.
Okay, you even said
they were gone, come on.
They're gone, okay, come on.
Come on, honey.
- Okay, okay, settle
down, take your seats.
Brian, Renee.
- Yeah, we're coming.
- Come on.
- Are we ready for dinner?
- Yeah, let's go.
- Kurt, you start.
- No.
- Here, I'll start.
- Thank you, Linda.
- I'm thankful for my husband
who takes care of his family
by putting in the long
hours at the store,
making sure he has enough time
to spend with Rosie on weekends.
And for being strong
for his family
over this difficult year.
I love you.
- Mel, I'm thankful for.
(beep)
I can't do this.
- [Mom] Of course you
can, come on Kurt.
- Mel, I'm thankful for.
- Kurt.
- What?
- [Tommy] I thought I just
saw it in the window, man.
- All right.
- Tommy, please.
- [Tommy] No, there
was something here.
I'm not screwing around here.
There was something
in the window.
- [Kurt] Tell me where.
- [Tommy] I don't know.
- [Kurt] Which way did he go?
- [Tommy] I don't know, I just
saw something for a second.
- Get back, get
into the other room.
Get into the other
room, look out.
- Kurt.
- Come one, Mel, move.
Brian, here.
- I don't think a shotgun
is gonna do much good, Kurt.
- Where's Rosie?
Rosie, where are you honey?
- [Tommy] Hey, Kurt, Kurt,
man, what's the plan?
What are we doing?
- Kurt, you're running around
the house with a shotgun,
you're scaring her and me.
- Not now Linda.
- Kurt.
(Matthew laughing)
- [Melanie] What?
- [Matthew] I didn't
know your family
sure had some strange
Thanksgiving rituals.
- What did you say?
What did you just say?
- Kurt.
Kurt.
Kurt.
Come on.
- You don't know what the
hell you're talking about
so shut your mouth.
- Stop,
what's the matter with you?
- Hey, don't you talk to me.
You tell this.
(beep)
- [Tommy] Kurt,
this is nuts, man.
- Come on, now.
That's not what you wanna say.
What'd you really wanna say?
- This does not concern you.
You got nothing to
do with this family.
- And you're hoping
I never do, right?
- Who the hell do
you think you are?
Do you wanna start something,
is that what this is?
- Back off, Kurt.
- Kurt.
- Back off.
- Just cool it.
- [Tommy] Matthew, come on,
he's just upset, all right.
- And when people are upset,
that's when they tend to
say what they really feel.
- Oh, screw you.
- Kurt.
Kurt, come on
get outta here.
- Get your gun outta my
face, what's wrong with you?
- Come on, forget it,
forget it.
- Oh my God.
- [Melanie] I'm so sorry.
- Knock it off, Rosie.
- [Tommy] Matthew, look,
we're all freaked out,
you weren't out there.
- Yeah, you're right,
I was not there,
so I don't know what
all this is about.
- Guys, we don't have time
to deal with this right now.
- Come on boys,
it's Thanksgiving.
Kurt, will you put
that shotgun down
and come and sit down and eat.
- Come on honey, put
the shotgun away.
- Thanks for supporting
me as usual, Linda.
Tommy, you put that
damn camera down.
- [Tommy] No way, I'm
getting this all on tape
until those guys leave.
Hey, screw off man, cool it.
- [Melanie] Kurt.
Take it.
- Can you rewind that thing?
- [Tommy] What?
- Can you play it back
so they can see it?
- [Tommy] Oh yeah, I can
do it through the eyepiece.
Just a sec.
Hey, hold on, hold on.
- Come here, honey.
I've never seen anything
like that before my life.
- God.
- [Tommy] I told you.
- I don't believe it.
- Let me see,
let me see.
- Not now, honey.
- Come on, it was probably
just some pranksters.
- [Tommy] Mom, I'm telling
you they were real.
- [Renee] All right, Bri let's
go take care of your hand.
Bri, I am so freaked out.
- Renee.
Ow.
- Sorry.
- It's okay, it's okay.
Honey, it's gonna be okay, okay.
Ow, I think we just scared 'em.
They didn't seem that
unfriendly to me.
- Hello?
They shot you.
- Maybe they thought
Tommy's camera
was some sort of a gun.
I mean, the light
shined right at 'em
and that's when they, ow,
that's when they fired at us.
- Tommy, have you been
taping this whole time?
- [Tommy] Not the
whole thing, no.
- Tommy, give us
a break, will you?
- [Tommy] Okay.
- We need to get outta here.
- Rosie must be starving.
- Linda, check the
phone, will you?
- I just did, it's still out.
- Kurt.
We are not going out there.
- Mom.
Mom.
- No.
(Renee screaming)
- [Tommy] What?
What?
What is it?
- Over there, over there.
- [Tommy] I told you,
I told you I saw one.
- Damn.
- Dad, be careful,
you could hurt someone.
- Lock the doors.
- What the hell.
- Front door, front door.
- [Tommy] Did you see that?
It's already locked.
- How the hell did they do that?
- [Linda] What the hell is that?
- [Kurt] Where's
that coming from?
- Do you hear that?
- [Tommy] My ears are ringing.
Ah.
- It's coming from over here.
- Oh no.
Oh no, it's here now.
- [Melanie] Oh my
God, it's rough.
- Oh.
- That's really loud, damn.
- Oh, Kurt.
- Mel, no.
No, no.
(all screaming)
(glass breaking)
- [Narrator] This program
contains disturbing
and graphic images.
Viewer discretion is advised.
- It takes a lot to scare me.
I've worked in the
sci-fi horror genre
for about 15 years now
and created some pretty
elaborate special effects.
This tape unnerved me
for a couple of reasons.
Number one, these are
clearly not actors.
The family members are not
working off any script.
There's also no plot line,
other than getting the
hell out of the house.
These people are
genuinely terrified
and the aliens are
not coming down a ramp
saying, "ET phone home."
The second reason I find
this unnerving, is that,
if it is a hoax,
I should have been the
one that directed it.
(glass breaking)
(all screaming)
- [Tommy] What the hell?
- [Brian] It's over,
it's over honey.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
Rosie, honey, you okay, honey?
- [Brian] My ears
are still burning.
- Mel?
- My right ear popped.
- Oh.
- Turn around Kurt.
- This is mental.
- [Kurt] Is everybody all right?
- [Tommy] My ears
are still ringing.
- [Melanie] My ear popped.
- [Kurt] Mom, what
are you doing?
- I don't want Rosie to
step on anything sharp,
it might go through her shoe.
- Leave it, we're
getting out of here.
- [Renee] What do they want?
- [Brian] How the
hell do I know?
- We cannot stay here.
- Look what could they do to
the Berkenhauseres cow, huh?
- [Mom] The phone's still out.
- [Tommy] Hey wait,
maybe there's something
on the radio about it, huh?
- [Kurt] There's no
electricity, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Damn.
- Mom, I need the
keys to your truck.
- [Mom] What for?
- It's bigger than mine.
I'll bring it right
to the front door,
we'll all get in.
- [Mom] But, what
about all the food?
- Forget the food,
we're leaving.
- [Mom] Here.
- Where are you going?
- [Tommy] I'm coming with you.
- [Kurt] No you're not.
- [Tommy] Well, I
just don't think
you should go out
there by yourself.
- I don't think you
should come with me.
Mel, Mel.
- I'm coming too.
- Mel, Mel.
- Kurt.
- Stay inside.
- [Melanie] Well hurry.
- [Kurt] Keep your eyes open.
- [Tommy] I really think
they're gone, Kurt.
- [Kurt] Just keep
your eyes open.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I am.
Oh man.
You know what?
I think I peed my pants man.
Oh.
(beep)
Man, I did.
I peed my pants.
- Hey, Tommy.
(beep)
- Man I'm losing it here.
- Hey,
it's fine.
- I peed my pants, man.
- It's fine.
I'm not gonna tell anybody.
- What's up with that?
- Come on.
It's fine, come on.
(insects chirping)
Dammit.
- [Tommy] What?
- The battery's dead.
When's the last time
you drove this thing?
Here, here.
- [Tommy] I don't know.
I mean, maybe a cable's
loose or something.
- Great.
- What the hell was that?
- What the hell?
Shine, your light
over here, man.
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Look at that thing.
- [Kurt] Give me the gun.
Dammit.
- [Tommy] Oh, they fried it.
(beep)
Kurt, man, what are we gonna do?
- Get the tractor battery,
we'll put it in the truck.
- [Tommy] Door's locked.
- Do you have the key?
- [Tommy] Oh, Mom's got it.
(beep)
- [Kurt] The battery
for the truck.
- [Linda] What's
wrong with the truck?
- [Kurt] They got to it.
- [Linda] What do you
mean, they got to it?
- They got to it, they got
to it, it's not working.
- And the tractor's okay?
- I don't know.
I hope so, I hope
they didn't see it.
If everything's working,
I'll be back in five minutes
and we'll get out
of here, all right.
When's the last time you
checked the phone, Linda?
- I don't know,
my watch stopped.
- [Kurt] So did mine.
- [Tommy] What?
- [Melanie] So did mine.
- [Mom] What?
Oh my God.
- [Tommy] Mine too.
Man, this is weird.
- [Kurt] What?
- Shh.
- What?
(boards creaking)
- [Tommy] Kurt, Kurt,
they're on the roof.
Kurt, what are we gonna do,
man, they're on the roof?
- Close the flue.
- [Tommy] Hey look out.
- [Melanie] Kurt.
- [Brian] Kurt.
(beep)
- It's too hot.
- Oh God.
- Look, it's probably
just raccoons.
They like to pick
through the trash.
- [Renee] I don't
know about that.
- Yes, Tommy.
- I'm gonna go check it out.
- Tommy.
- Tommy, no.
- [Kurt] Tommy,
get back in here.
What are you doing?
- [Tommy] Shh, be quiet.
- [Kurt] Stop, get inside.
Tommy.
(dog barking)
(beep)
- [Kurt] What?
Get inside.
- [Tommy] Guys, guys, I know.
- Guys.
- Kurt.
- Oh.
- Where?
- [Tommy] In the
bathroom window,
upstairs in the hallway, man.
- What are we gonna do?
- What are we gonna do?
- Shh.
Everybody stay here.
Get back.
(door creaking)
Turn that light off.
- [Tommy] Oh God.
(boards creaking)
(bells ringing)
(beep)
(door creaking)
- I got one.
- What is it?
- I got one.
- You.
- Well, you know, I still
find it hard to talk about,
but when I saw the tape, it
brought it all back to me.
You know, the
lights, the smells,
the hair raised on
the back of my neck
when I was too pissed
scared to talk.
It's not something you forget.
You don't know what it's like.
When one of those
big headed wankers
takes you out of your life and
puts you under their lights,
it's bloody terrifying.
When I saw the family,
it was like going through
the whole thing again.
Gives me the fear just
thinking about it.
You know what I mean?
- I got one.
- You what?
- I got one, get
a rope, come on.
(beep)
Go.
- Oh my God.
- Tommy, what's going on?
- Do we have any rope?
Hey man, do we have any rope?
- [Melanie] Tommy, what?
- [Tommy] Rope, rope.
- Yeah, I'm sure we got
some twine in the drawer.
- Why?
- Okay.
- What's going on?
- Over here, over here.
- [Brian] What's going on?
- [Tommy] Kurt's got
one in Mom's room.
- [Matthew] He's got what?
- [Tommy] He shut
the door on him.
- [Matthew] He's got a rope?
- [Tommy] No, he's coming.
- [Kurt] Come on, Tommy.
- [Tommy] I'm coming.
Is it there?
Here.
This is all Mom had.
- All right.
(beep)
Tommy wrap it
around the doorknob.
- [Brian] Yeah, I got
it, I got it, I got it.
- [Matthew] How do you
know he's still in there?
- He's still in there,
lock the bathroom window.
Come on, Brian.
Wrap it around the
other doorknob.
- [Brian] Okay.
- [Tommy] You got one in there?
- [Kurt] Yes.
- [Melanie] What are
you gonna do with him?
- We're gonna keep it there
until we can call somebody.
- [Tommy] Is that
gonna hold him?
So, what, we wait until then?
What if it gets out?
- [Kurt] It's not gonna get out.
- [Melanie] You can't
just leave him there.
- Mel, it's already done.
- [Tommy] Kurt.
Man, he's trying to get out.
(beep)
- [Kurt] Shut up.
- [Melanie] Oh my God.
Oh my God.
(beep)
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
- He's not going anywhere.
Come on you bastard.
- [Linda] What's happening?
- We're fine, honey,
stay downstairs.
- Holy.
- All right.
This isn't working.
- Kurt.
- Back up.
- This isn't working.
- Back up.
Let go of the rope and back up.
- Kurt.
- Stop.
- [Tommy] Kurt.
It'll only piss him off, Kurt.
- [Brian] Don't Kurt, don't.
- [Melanie] Oh God,
oh my God, oh my God.
- There you see.
Well now get downstairs.
- Let's go.
- Get out of here, come on.
- [Tommy] Kurt, the
light, the light.
(gun firing)
(beep)
(alarm ringing)
- Oh my God.
- What the hell is that?
- Ow.
- Quiet.
- Kurt.
- Gotta get it out.
- [Kurt] Mel, step back,
Matthew, take the battery out.
(alarm ringing)
- [Tommy] Did you get him?
- [Kurt] Shot gun
won't do nothing, huh?
- [Matthew] What the
hell's the matter with you?
- [Melanie] I can't
believe you shot him.
- That is the same light
that fried Brian's hand.
- [Linda] Are you okay?
- We're fine, stay downstairs.
- Man,
look at that hole.
- [Renee] Now his friends
are gonna come get us.
- [Kurt] Bull.
(beep)
Listen.
They're gone.
- [Brian] Yeah, or regrouping.
How do you know it's dead, Kurt?
- 'Cause I blew a
hole in it, Brian.
- Kurt, Kurt.
- What?
- [Brian] Your nose,
it's bleeding, man.
- [Matthew] Hey man,
what happened to you?
- I don't know.
- [Brian] What?
- [Linda] What's
happening, are you okay?
- It's fine, honey.
(door creaking)
- [Tommy] Oh.
Is it dead?
Kurt?
- [Kurt] I don't know.
- [Tommy] Hey man,
I can't see nothing.
Come on, give me some room,
I gotta get this on tape.
- [Brian] Oh, he's
dead all right.
- [Tommy] Stay back Tommy.
- Come on, let me see.
- Tommy,
I don't know if it's
dead, stay there.
He could still be alive.
- [Melanie] Don't touch it.
- [Tommy] Come on guys,
give me some room.
- [Melanie] Matthew.
- [Matthew] Oh.
- [Melanie] You're giving
me the creeps, Matthew.
- [Brian] Kurt,
where's his light gun?
- [Kurt] I don't
see it anywhere.
- [Tommy] He's so small.
Look at him.
- [Matthew] I can't
find any pulse.
- [Brian] Let's cover it up.
- [Tommy] What for?
- [Matthew] Oh come on.
- [Kurt] Fine, Mel.
- [Tommy] I can't believe it.
- [Kurt] All right,
that's good enough.
Good enough.
- We should lock it up
or something, Kurt.
- [Kurt] Come on.
Out, out, out.
- [Linda] What's
happening, are you okay?
- [Tommy] Kurt's shell
went through the door.
- [Renee] Oh my God.
(Tommy laughing)
- [Tommy] Man, you
should've seen it.
- I don't wanna see it.
Rosie, what are
you doing up here?
I told you to stay downstairs.
- Grandma, it's okay, there's
nothing to be afraid of.
- [Mom] Kurt, cover it up, I
don't want Rosie to see that.
- [Linda] It's gonna
get out, lock it up.
- [Tommy] There's no
lock on mom's door.
- [Linda] What if it
gets through the hole.
- Oh, for Pete's sake.
Brian.
- [Brian] What?
Oh.
- Good.
- Okay.
- It ain't going nowhere.
- Yeah, that's good.
- Daddy,
let's all go downstairs now.
- [Kurt] All right, let's
go, come on, let's go.
- It'll be okay, all right.
- Brian, we need to go now.
- [Linda] Okay, Rosie,
let's go make a pee pee.
- [Rosie] Why
everything's okay now.
- What is wrong with you?
Come on.
- Okay, nobody's
going to go anywhere
until Brian and I can
get the truck around.
Rosie, where are
you going, honey?
Rosie.
- [Tommy] Hey, hey Rosie.
You got her.
- [Kurt] I got her.
- [Tommy] What's up with her?
- Where were you going?
- I'm going to see it.
- No you're not, you're
going to the bathroom,
now come on.
What's wrong with her?
- She doesn't understand
what's going on.
That's all.
- Okay.
Okay, everybody.
Mel, what happened to you?
- Mel.
- What is it?
- It's your nose.
- Brian.
- [Tommy] You're bleeding, Mel.
- [Renee] Oh my God,
Brian, totally, totally.
(beep)
- [Kurt] Come here,
come here, come here.
- Damn.
- Oh, my God.
- You're fine.
- I'm bleeding.
I'm here.
- It's okay.
- I'm feeling really dizzy.
- Is everybody okay?
- Put you knees to your head.
- Somebody get some ice.
- Come on it's okay.
You're gonna be all right.
- Oh my God.
- Guys, why is this happening?
- [Brian] Renee,
here, take this.
It's just a nose bleed.
- Oh tell me you're not
gonna use my good dishcloth.
- [Tommy] Mom, it
doesn't matter.
- [Brian] It's
just a nose bleed.
- Guys no, it's not stopping.
- Okay, I'll get you
some ice, honey, hang on.
- This is one of
those dizzy spells,
I just don't know what happened.
- You okay.
- You okay, Renee?
- All right.
- All right.
- we gotta get outta here.
- Okay, it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right.
Come on, let me see.
It's fine, you're fine.
- Okay.
- Brian, we've gotta go now.
- [Brian] It's okay.
- I'm gonna be right back.
- Stay here for a minute.
- Okay.
I'm going with the guys.
- [Brian] Mel, we'll
handle it, okay.
- Oh, right, I
forgot, I'm a woman.
- It's got nothing
to do with it.
We just don't need everybody
standing around outside, okay.
- Listen, the more of us
outside there, the better.
Kurt, listen to me.
- No, stay inside.
- You guys.
- Matthew, you stay in
at the door, all right.
- All right.
- Okay.
- [Tommy] Hey, I wanna come.
- Tommy, you stay here.
- [Tommy] What?
What the hell is that?
(all screaming)
What is it?
- [Linda] Kurt.
- I'm coming.
- What's it doing?
- [Renee] Where's it going?
- [Matthew] Stay down, everybody
just stay down, stay down.
- Did it go, where'd it go?
- Stay down.
- [Renee] Oh God,
oh God, oh God.
- Oh my God.
- Renee.
- Renee, Renee.
- Renee.
- Renee, wake up honey, wake up.
- This tape is a fake.
It's a pretty incredible fake,
but I don't think it's
anything more than that.
The analysis we
did on the footage
showed images that were
more highly pixelated
than your regular
home video tape.
This could be because of
digital special effects.
The only way that this
tape could be real
is if the image being
videotaped were so intense,
that it burned a
sharper image on it.
That's possible,
but it'd be the first
time that I've seen it.
- [Melanie] Oh my God.
- Oh God.
- Come on sweetie.
- Is she okay?
- Oh God.
- Is she okay?
- Brian,
Brian I can't tell
if she's breathing.
- Shh.
- [Melanie] Does
she have a pulse?
- [Tommy] What
the hell was that?
It came through the window.
- [Melanie] Brian,
is she all right?
(fire crackling)
Does she have a pulse.
- She has a pulse.
- Oh God.
- [Tommy] Oh God.
- It's really slow.
She's breathing.
(beep)
- [Melanie] You can't
leave her on the floor.
You gotta keep her
spine straight.
- [Linda] Okay, honey.
- [Tommy] I don't believe it.
- Kurt, what do we do now?
- It's all right.
We'll get our things together
and we're gonna get ready to go.
- Okay.
- This is your fault.
- [Kurt] What?
- You shot him in cold blood.
- Brian came into our house.
- Brian.
- Maybe we scared them.
Did you ever think of that?
- [Tommy] Hey, Bri.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Brian.
- You guys.
- Brian, stay calm, stay calm.
- Give me that shotgun.
Give me that shotgun.
- Stop it.
- [Tommy] Hey you guys.
- Stop it, you guys.
- You guys.
- Get off him.
- Get off.
- [Kurt] Brian, calm down.
Brian.
- [Brian] Get off me.
- Stop it.
- Get off me.
- Stay calm.
- You guys.
- It ain't worth
it, man, stay calm.
- [Linda] Come on, Renee
has to get to a hospital.
- [Melanie] Jesus, you guys.
- Check the phone.
Check the phone.
- Forget the phone.
- Brian, you gotta cool down.
- Forget the phone,
We are getting out of here.
- I'm not leaving Renee.
- We are gonna put her
in the back of the truck
and take her to
County, all right.
Yeah.
- Okay.
Yeah.
- Brian,
we gotta look after.
- Okay,
if we can't get
the truck running,
we'll come back inside
and we'll all walk up to
the highway together, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, all right.
- That's good.
- Let's do this.
- Where's Rosie?
- [Linda] She's in the bathroom.
- [Kurt] Mom.
- Okay, I'll go check.
- All right, hurry.
Okay, everybody,
we're gonna be fine.
Just pull yourselves together.
- Alright.
- Rosie?
- All right.
It's the same plan.
- Okay.
- Okay, same deal.
I'm gonna go outside.
- Okay.
- [Kurt] Matthew, you
lock the door behind me.
- Yeah.
- You stay inside
and guard the door
and don't let anyone
in, all right.
- Okay.
What about if?
- No, no, just listen to me.
I'll knock three times.
You hear three knocks,
you know it's me, okay?
- Okay.
- Good.
- But what if you guys get?
- Tommy, no, no what ifs.
- I can't find Rosie?
- What?
- [Linda] She's in
the back bathroom.
- No she's not.
- [Linda] Oh God, no, Rosie.
- Hey, hey Linda,
where you going?
- [Linda] I'm trying
to get upstairs?
- [Tommy] Wait up,
wait up, wait up.
You're going upstairs?
- Rosie.
(beep)
Rosie.
Rosie.
Rosie, what are you doing?
Rosie, come on.
- What the hell?
Rosie.
- Come on, Rosie.
Rosie, come one.
- Get away from the door.
- What are you doing?
What's with you?
Okay, come on.
- We shouldn't be up here.
- No, no.
Let's go downstairs okay.
- Yeah, come on.
- [Kurt] Is she all right?
- [Linda] Yeah.
Kurt, I wanna get
going right now.
- Okay, okay, we will.
- I'm worried about Rosie.
She wouldn't even
talk to me upstairs.
- All right.
- Mommy, I'm okay, there's
nothing to worry about.
- [Tommy] Kurt, she was
trying to see the alien.
- Come here, sweetie, come here.
How you doing?
- I'm okay, Daddy.
- All right.
- Nothing's gonna happen to me.
- Come on.
- Calm down, Linda.
Mom, will you come
and get Rosie please?
- Guys.
- She's gonna be all right.
- [Tommy] Is she okay?
- [Brian] Yeah,
she's not in shock.
- She'll be fine, she'll
be fine, all right.
Now let's go get
the truck running.
Come on buddy.
- [Brian] Okay.
Okay.
- Come on, all right.
The sooner we get it running,
the sooner we get
her to the hospital.
Okay.
Come here, Matthew.
You know how to handle that?
- Yeah.
I have a general idea.
- All right.
If anything happens, you
don't hesitate all right.
- [Rosie] That's probably
not a good idea, Daddy.
- Daddy's gonna be fine,
sweetie, be just fine.
Brian, let's go now, come on.
- [Mom] You be careful, okay.
- [Melanie] Okay guys.
- Take care of Renee.
- Okay.
- [Melanie] Hurry back.
- We will.
You take care of Mom
and the girls, Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I will.
- All right.
Okay, we'll be right back.
- [Linda] Okay.
- [Kurt] Lock the
door behind us.
- All right.
- All right.
- [Tommy] Okay.
- All right.
- I think we all should've
gone out there though.
- [Tommy] No Mom, come
on, it's better this way.
You don't know what's out there.
- [Melanie] Nobody
knows what's out there.
- I don't know, guys, I have
a bad feeling about this.
- [Tommy] They have a
shotgun and a rifle.
- [Melanie] They're
gonna be okay.
- [Linda] Okay.
- Well, they're gonna
be a few minutes,
so why don't we
all just sit down?
- [Rosie] I'm hungry.
- Well, why don't we sit
down and have a snack?
- [Linda] What are
you talking about?
- [Tommy] Mom, not now.
- Now is not a good time.
- Okay.
- Now is not the
time, Mrs. McPherson.
- But they're gonna
be a few minutes.
Why don't we just
have something to eat.
- Okay, okay, I'll get
some white meat for Rosie.
Come on.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- [Mom] Come on, sweetie pie.
- [Matthew] Mel, you staying?
- [Melanie] Yeah,
just for a bit.
- [Tommy] Is she all right?
- [Melanie] I'll
take care of her.
- Okay.
Okay, here we go, Rosie.
Nice big piece of
white meat for you.
How's that?
Okay.
Now how about some of
grandma's smashed potatoes?
Okay.
Tommy, you want some?
- [Tommy] No, I'm not hungry.
- [Melanie] This broccoli's
pretty good, Mom,
what'd you put in it?
- Oh, just a little
garlic butter.
Hey, you want a
piece of turkey, Mel?
- Mom, you know
I don't eat meat.
- [Mom] Well, just a little bit.
- No.
- [Mom] Linda.
- No, that's all right.
Why don't we hear the truck
they should've been back by now.
- Look, they'll be
back in a few minutes.
Don't worry.
- I'm worried, okay.
I'm gonna worry if I want to.
Don't tell me not to worry.
They should have
been back by now.
- Linda, come on, sit down.
- Well, we have to be ready.
- We will be ready.
It's only been a
couple of minutes.
- Okay.
- Sit down.
- Mommy, you'll be
with Daddy soon.
- Okay.
How are you doing,
honey, you okay?
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
(gun firing)
- [Tommy] What was that?
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
That's gunshots.
(guns firing)
- Oh my God.
- Oh.
- [Linda] What's happening?
(guns firing)
- Shh.
(guns firing)
- [Tommy] Okay.
- [Narrator]
Warning, this program
contains disturbing
and graphic images.
Viewer discretion is advised.
- I'm fascinated by the
little girl's behavior.
I would have expected her
to either have been more
withdrawn or more manic.
I also find it curious
that of the whole family,
she is the one
that remains calm.
As a matter of fact,
at times she takes
on the parent's role,
trying to calm the others.
She's almost possessed.
I find it very disturbing.
- Oh my God.
- Oh God.
That's the one, the
one that Brian's hand.
- [Melanie] Linda, Linda.
- [Tommy] Hey Linda, Linda,
Kurt said not to go
out there, Linda.
Linda.
- Linda, you promised him.
- I have to see if he's okay.
Kurt.
- [Tommy] Look, they said to
wait for the knock on the door.
- No, it's three knocks,
then we know it's them.
Come one now.
- Look, I'm sure
they're all right.
It was probably just the
truck backfiring, right Linda?
Right, Linda?
- [Linda] What?
- The truck, sometimes
backfires, right?
- Right.
- [Tommy] They've gotta be okay.
- Yeah, Linda, they
gotta be, I mean,
we didn't hear them
yelling or screaming.
They're gonna be okay.
- Matthew, it
could be him, okay.
You got to let me out.
You got to let you
see if he's all right.
- Listen to me, it's
better if you stay here.
Just stay here.
- No, let me out.
- Linda.
- Come on.
- Linda, come on.
- You have no right,
you're not even
part of this family.
- Linda.
- Linda.
- Just calm down, calm down.
You'll feel better, go sit down.
Come on, come on.
Everything's gonna be fine.
- I think we all need to
take it easy for a while.
- [Tommy] I'm not kidding.
(upbeat piano music)
- [Melanie] Rosie, do you
have to play that now?
(upbeat piano music)
Rosie.
- [Tommy] Mom.
Did you teach Rosie
to play like that?
- [Mom] What?
- [Tommy] Rosie.
- [Mom] No.
(upbeat piano music)
Rosie, you play so well, honey.
- [Tommy] Where
did she learn that?
(upbeat piano music)
- [Melanie] Hey,
what are you doing?
- [Tommy] Whoa, whoa,
what's up with you guys?
- I'm sorry.
I thought.
- I can't believe it.
- [Tommy] What are you doing?
- I thought she was you.
- [Melanie] Yeah, right.
- No.
- She felt like you.
She, she.
- Oh God.
Oh God.
- Don't you,
we're being screwed with here,
don't you get it?
- No.
- Mommy, calm down.
- They're messing with us.
- Everything will
be okay, trust me.
- Okay.
- Look, I told you,
I told you we should've
gone out there with them.
(beep)
What?
- [Tommy] My
battery's almost dead.
- Oh, finally.
- [Tommy] I have another one
in my bag, just a minute.
- Come on, honey, it's okay.
- Matthew, will you pass
me that bottle of wine,
over there in the
counter, please?
- [Tommy] Mom.
Mom, I think you've
had enough, okay.
- One glass, it's all I've had.
- [Tommy] You had.
Look, I just think maybe.
- Right.
16, he thinks he
knows everything.
You've got no idea.
- [Tommy] Mom, I'm just saying.
- Tommy.
If I wanna have a glass of wine
every once in a while to relax,
there's nothing wrong with that.
- [Tommy] It's not every
once in a while, Mom,
it's not even just wine.
(beep)
- Stop treating me
like an alcoholic.
You can turn up the heat
'cause I'm freezing.
- [Melanie] Maybe we should
get another blanket for Renee.
- [Tommy] I wonder
how she's doing.
- [Melanie] I don't know.
- [Tommy] Do you
think she can hear us?
Mel, Mel, come look at this.
- What is it?
- Look,
look at her.
- Oh my God.
- What's happening to her?
- God.
Get Mom.
Oh my God.
- [Matthew] Just get a
washcloth to soak it.
- [Tommy] Matthew, what's
the matter with her?
Why is that coming
out of her mouth?
- Will this do?
- Oh God.
- Oh my God.
- Here, here.
- Matthew.
- Oh God, that's so gross.
Oh Renee.
- [Tommy] Is she okay?
Is she's gonna be okay?
- [Melanie] It's
okay, it's okay.
- [Tommy] Matthew.
- Yeah, she'll be fine.
- [Tommy] What was that?
- I don't know, she was
having some sort of.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
- Hold her feet down,
hold her feet down.
- [Tommy] What's
the matter with her?
- Renee.
- Renee.
- [Tommy] I thought
you said she was okay.
Do something.
- She's having a seizure,
maybe it's the
cold or something,
I don't know.
- Hold her down.
- [Tommy] What do you do?
- [Melanie] Renee, come on.
- Her feet.
- Stop it, stop it.
Stop it, you're okay.
- [Mom] Shh, please
stop, please.
- [Melanie] You're okay.
- [Tommy] Looks like
they're going away.
- [Melanie] It's
okay, it's okay.
- [Mom] Tommy.
- [Tommy] Yeah.
- Get a blanket out of the
linen closet for her, will you?
- Yeah.
- Yeah,
get one for us too, Tommy.
- Okay.
- [Melanie] Oh, wait, do
you want me to go with you?
- [Tommy] What, am I a baby?
I'm not scared of it.
- Fine.
- [Tommy] Don't even think
about messing with me, you.
(beep)
Don't even think about it.
Oh God.
Oh God.
All right, you bastard.
I'll blow your ass away.
(door creaking)
Oh God.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom, it's gone.
- [Mom] What?
- [Tommy] Mom.
It's gone, it's gone.
- [Mom] What?
- You guys.
- What?
- [Tommy] It's gone.
- What's gone, what's gone?
What do you mean?
- It's not
in the bedroom anymore.
- What do you mean it's gone?
- [Tommy] I don't know,
maybe we didn't kill it.
It moved, so did the cabinet
from in front of the door.
(door knocking)
- Kurt, it's Kurt.
- No.
- It's Kurt.
- Open the door.
- Linda wait.
- That was only two knocks,
they said three, come on now.
Get it together.
- I don't care what he said.
It's him.
Open the door.
Open the door.
- I'm not opening
the door, Linda.
- [Melanie] Matthew, we
should see what's out there.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
He could be trying to get in.
Matthew, come on.
- All right, all right, fine.
Back away from the
door, just back away.
- [Tommy] Okay.
Come on guys, back up.
- Matthew.
- Kurt.
Kurt.
- [Tommy] Oh God.
- They must've already started
back with at the truck.
- What?
- All right,
let's go back and sit down.
- What?
No, I have to see
him, he's out there.
- Come on Linda, take it easy.
- Linda.
- Linda.
- Come on Linda.
- It's time for you
to sit down now, Linda.
- No, I'm going out there.
- Listen to me,
I'm gong out there.
Mel, get my coat.
Listen, it's no big deal.
If they're not out there,
I'll just walk up to
the road and get my car.
We'll all squeeze in.
We'll get the hell out
of here, end of story.
- Matthew, I don't think
you should leave us here.
- Listen, everything's gonna
be fine, I'm not going far.
I'm just going up the road,
I'm gonna have a quick look
and then I'm gonna get my car,
everything's gonna be fine.
- Matthew.
- Mel, please.
I'm going.
- [Melanie] You'll need this.
- No, you keep it
here just in case.
Now you know how
to use it, right?
- [Tommy] I do.
- Mel?
- Yeah, yeah.
- All right then.
I love you.
- Wait Matthew.
Okay, Linda, grab Rosie.
Mom, Tommy, help me carry Renee.
(door knocking)
That was fast.
- What the hell?
- [Melanie] Matthew.
- From an anthropological
standpoint,
the behavior of these beings
could be considered
actually quite logical.
In fact, the abduction
of the McPhersons
could be construed
as a higher species
gathering samples
of a lower species.
It is unclear if they set
out to capture the McPhersons
or if they felt threatened
enough to attack them.
If the three brothers
hadn't interrupted,
whatever procedure was
being done on the cow,
none of this might've happened.
- [Tommy] Where is he?
- Matthew.
- Mel.
(insects chirping)
- Wasn't that Matthew?
- [Melanie] No,
Mom, no one's there.
- [Tommy] No one?
- [Melanie] No one.
Let's carry Renee.
- [Tommy] Hey.
- That's better.
- The phone.
- The radio, yes.
- [Melanie] What happened?
- [Tommy] I don't know.
- [Melanie] It's dead.
(beep)
- [Tommy] Hey.
- [Melanie] Did
you get everything?
- What's going on?
- I don't get this.
It doesn't make any sense.
That circuit breakers,
they were whacked.
- It's them, they're doing it.
- No, no Linda, take it easy.
Sometimes they start and stop
the power a couple of times
before they get it started.
- No, Mel,
I'm telling you nothing could
get through that circuit box.
They're messing with us.
- Scott.
Scott, where've you been,
we've been waiting for you?
- [Tommy] Mom,
are you all right?
- I'm fine, but you look beat.
You could close early every
once in a while, you know.
- [Tommy] Mom, who
are you talking to?
- Turn the TV on, Tommy.
I'm gonna get you a
nice cold beer, honey.
- Come on Mom, sit
down and relax.
- Melanie don't interrupt me
when I'm talking to your father.
- [Tommy] There is
nobody there, Mom.
- Don't you dare raise
your hand to your father.
- Come on, Mom.
- Come on, Rosaline, let's
sit down and rest, okay.
- Come on.
- I'm hot.
I'm hot, are you hot?
- Yeah, it's warm in here.
It got really warm.
- There's something wrong
with the thermostat.
- [Tommy] There's
no electricity Mom,
that's what's wrong with it.
- You don't need to
take that tone with me.
- [Rosie] I'm hot too.
Can I have a glass
of water, Mommy?
- [Linda] Yeah, sure honey.
- [Melanie] It's okay, Mom.
(Mom crying)
- They shut off the water.
- That's okay, I don't
need any, do you?
- [Linda] I'm all right, honey.
- [Tommy] They didn't
shut off the water, Linda,
there's no electricity
for the pump.
Hey, there's some fruit
juice in the fridge,
it's probably still cold.
- Oh, I got bit by like
a spider or something.
Rosaline, look at
this, what is it?
- [Tommy] What?
- Look, what is it?
- What is it?
- Oh.
- Oh God it's.
- [Tommy] What is that?
- It's burning like hell.
- I can't, I can't.
- Let me see, Mom.
- [Tommy] I think I
have one too, guys.
- Mom.
- Do I have one?
- Oh my God.
- What is it?
- This isn't a bite,
it's from them.
- Ouch.
- Get some water.
- How?
(beep)
How could it be from them?
- Let's get water, Mom, come on.
- They turned off the water.
- Ow.
- Turn it on.
- Is it burning?
- Ah.
- Is it burning?
- Oh.
She's worse.
- [Tommy] It feels
like, someone's
taking a burning stick
right to my neck.
- Rosaline, do you
have any burning cream?
- It's in the hall bathroom.
- [Tommy] Oh my God.
Mom, Mom.
Okay, just calm down okay,
just don't itch it for a minute.
- I can't.
- [Melanie] Rosie, is your
neck, okay, is it itchy?
- [Rosie] No, I'm fine.
- Here.
- Does yours burn too?
- Yeah, it really burns.
Ow, geez.
- Rosie, close your neck.
- [Rosie] I'm fine, Mom.
- [Tommy] What
are you doing Mel?
- It's burned, put
some ice on this.
- Give me some ice.
- Yeah, yeah,
give me some of that.
- Yeah.
- It will stop burning in
a minute, Aunt Melanie.
- [Melanie] I hope
so, it really hurts.
- Oh, oh God.
- Oh.
- Ah.
- It will stop
burning in a minute.
- It's better.
- It's gone.
- [Tommy] I thought it was
gonna burn right through me,
for a minute.
- Power's on.
- Oh my God.
- [Tommy] That's impossible.
- [Mom] Honey.
We don't need the dishwasher
right now, turn it off.
- [Melanie] What the hell?
(blender blades whirring)
Oh my God.
- [Narrator] How
are they doing that?
- [Melanie] I don't know.
- [Mom] I'm having one of
those hot flashes again.
- [Rosie] Open the door.
- Linda.
- Oh God.
Linda.
- Linda, no.
- [Linda] Kurt.
- [Melanie] No.
- Kurt.
- Kurt.
Matthew.
- Kurt.
- Oh.
(beep)
- [Melanie] What is it?
Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
- Linda, hey, hey,
Mel, don't, don't.
Mom, Mom, Rosie, get
back into the house.
- Go on, grandma, go
back in the house,
it'll be okay.
- Kurt.
- Oh my God.
- [Linda] No.
- Linda, come on.
- Linda.
- No.
- Linda.
- I gotta, no.
- No.
- [Tommy] It's not safe.
- [Linda] Oh my God.
(Linda crying)
They took him, oh my
God, they took him.
- [Melanie] Linda.
- Kurt.
(Linda crying)
Why did you have
to start with them?
This is all your fault.
- [Tommy] We didn't do anything.
- Kurt.
Answer me, where are you?
- Mom, it's okay, go back
in the house and calm down.
- Kurt.
- Aunt Mel, will you help me?
- Linda, Rosie's right.
Let's go back in the house.
They're probably on the highway,
they'll be back in a minute.
Come on, sweetie.
- He's dead.
He's dead I know it.
- Linda.
- Linda.
- [Melanie] Please.
(Linda crying)
Linda, Linda.
Linda, look.
Linda.
- [Linda] Oh my God.
- [Melanie] Everyone
back inside, now.
- Rosie, come on.
- Now.
- [Linda] Rosie.
- Run.
- Come on.
- [Tommy] Run.
What, it's locked?
- Who locked it?
- Don't look at me.
- [Mom] We didn't touch it.
- All right, get outta
the way, just hurry.
- Tommy.
- We gotta back in there.
- [Mom] Tommy, Tommy, don't,
you're gonna break it.
- [Tommy] Good.
- [Mom] Tommy.
- Oh God, Matthew.
- The light.
You guys, the light.
- Come on.
- Come on, we have to go.
- Come on.
- Mom, Linda, move it.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Let's just stay here.
Just stay here.
Shh.
Tommy, don't, don't.
- [Tommy] It's okay.
- [Linda] What's happening?
- [Tommy] It stopped,
wait, it stopped.
(crickets chirping)
Mel, okay look, Mel,
we can't stay here.
(door unlocking)
- What was that?
- [Tommy] Sounds
like a door lock.
- Let's all go inside now.
- No, Rosie,
I'm not going inside.
- Hold on.
- Now.
- [Linda] Rosie, hold on.
- [Tommy] Mel, Mel, I
think she's right, come on.
(telephone ringing)
- Is that the phone?
- That could be Kurt.
- [Melanie] Okay,
just stay here.
- No Mel, Mel.
- Mel.
(telephone ringing)
Guys.
- Hurry.
- Come on.
- [Linda] Come
on, come on Rosie.
(telephone ringing)
- Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
- Who was it?
- It's nobody.
- [Tommy] What?
- What?
What's that?
- TV.
Oh God, oh God.
They won't turn off.
They're already off.
- What's that?
- What the hell?
- [Linda] Mel, do something.
- What am I supposed to do?
- I don't know.
- Hello.
(telephone ringing)
Kurt.
- The doorknobs,
the door.
You guys, you hear that?
The doorknobs.
They're trying to get in.
- It's Kurt.
- You guys,
the doorknobs.
- It's Kurt.
- [Tommy] It's not Kurt.
Get away from there.
Mel, get her back from there.
- It's them.
Help me block the
door with something.
- No.
- Tommy, can you put the
camera down for a second
and help me out.
- [Linda] Oh God.
- Mom.
- Mel, this one.
The front door.
- [Tommy] Yeah, I
got it, I got it.
- There's someone out there.
- I got it.
(Linda crying)
- [Melanie] What are they doing?
- [Linda] I shouldn't
have let him go out there.
Shouldn't have let
him go out there.
- [Melanie] Linda, there
was nothing you could do.
- He shouldn't have left us.
- [Tommy] He was
trying to protect you.
- He didn't have
to go out there.
(Linda crying)
Stop it.
(Linda crying)
- Mommy.
Mommy.
(Linda crying)
Renee's dead.
- All the government
denial regarding the tape
fits right into their
pattern of disinformation.
They figure if they say it
didn't happen, it didn't happen.
But I've studied probably
a hundred reports
of alien abductions and
almost every one of them,
the aliens look just like
we see them on the tape.
I performed kinetic
analysis of their movements.
It proves conclusively,
these are actual beings
of that size and shape.
(Linda crying)
- Renee's dead.
(Linda crying)
- [Tommy] How did that happen?
She was alive just a minute ago.
- No, Rosie, she's
just sleeping.
- [Tommy] That doesn't
make any sense.
- Quiet, quiet.
I can't hear her heart.
- Oh my God.
- You can't hear it
because she's dead.
(Linda crying)
- Rosie, come here,
let's leave Renee alone.
- Why, everything's okay now.
- Rosie, come on honey.
- Mel, Mel, check there.
- Tommy, I can't.
No, Tommy, it's not there.
- Oh my God,
Mel, she's so cold.
- There's no pulse.
- Mel.
- Tommy, I don't
know what to do.
- No.
- Oh God.
Renee.
- [Tommy] Mel.
Mel.
(Melanie crying)
Mel.
Mel.
Mel, Mel, come on.
Mel.
Mel, come on, she's gone.
Okay, come on Mel, she's gone.
- I'm sorry.
- Let it go.
- No, Tommy.
- Mel.
Mel.
- [Melanie] Tommy.
(Linda crying)
- Anyone need some tea?
Come on, Mom, come on.
Aunt Mel, you can make it,
there's already cold
water in the kettle.
(Linda crying)
Come on Melanie, it will
give you something to do.
- When Kurt and
I were teenagers,
we used to sneak in the pantry,
that's where we, we first.
- Please, please, please Linda,
not in front of Rosie.
- Let's play cards.
- That's a good idea, Rosie.
We could play Go Fish.
Tommy, you wanna get the cards?
- [Tommy] Mom.
- Is there something
else you'd like to do?
- Turkey?
- [Melanie] I'm not hungry.
- [Linda] I don't want any tea.
- I'll get the cards.
- I was thinking
a nice light tope
for the front steps, Tommy.
- [Tommy] What?
- The front steps.
- [Tommy] I thought
you wanted it
in the same color as
the rest of the house?
- No, I think a nice
tope would be better.
- [Tommy] Man, do
I have a headache.
- That's probably from
looking through that
camera all night.
- [Tommy] It just started.
- I'm telling you,
it's from looking through
that camera all night.
It's time to put it down.
- Gotta get some asprin.
(Tommy crying)
My name is Thomas McPherson,
we were attacked by aliens.
I think they killed my brothers,
Kurt and Brian McPherson.
They killed Renee,
that's my brothers,
Brian's, girlfriend.
My sister, Mel, her
boyfriend, Matthew,
he's still out there.
I guess we're gonna
wait here until morning.
(Tommy crying)
I don't want to die.
I'm really afraid.
I don't think we're
gonna make it.
I miss my dad,
I wish he were here.
I can't believe
this is happening,
I wish it were all over.
(Tommy coughing)
I love you, Mom.
I love you, Linda.
I love you, Mel.
I love you, Rosie.
- Uncle Tommy, it's time
to put the camera down.
- [Tommy] Okay.
(Tommy crying)
- Remember the time I made
Brian play 52 Pick Up.
(all laughing)
- Uncle Tommy, why
don't you deal?
- Okay.
(upbeat piano music)
- What are we playing?
- Go Fish.
- Okay, Go Fish.
- How many cards?
- Seven.
(upbeat piano music)
- What are we playing?
- Go Fish, Tommy,
are you all right?
(upbeat piano music)
- Yeah, it's just my
head that's killing me.
- Well, take some
asprin or something.
- It's really killing me.
Rosie, Rosie, could you
knock it off please?
I have a headache.
(upbeat piano music)
- Rosie.
Can't you see Uncle
Tommy has a headache.
- Come on, Rosie,
that's enough for now,
Mom's got one too.
- Rosie, could you please stop?
My head is pounding.
I can't take that anymore.
- Come on, Rosie.
- There, is that
better, Uncle Tommy?
- Yeah, that's a lot
better, thank you.
- Let's all go outside now.
- No Rosie, we're
not going anywhere.
We have to stay here
and wait for your daddy.
Wouldn't want him to come home
and not find us, would you?
- He's not coming back.
- Finish the deal.
- Oh, yeah.
Okay.
How many cards?
- Seven.
Aren't you gonna play Rosie?
- I've got other
things to take care of.
- And a nice light blue
for the guest bedroom.
Dad'll like that,
don't you think?
- Pop's dead, Mom.
- Give me fives.
- Oh, you got me good.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
(beep)
- Oh my God, come
on guys, let's go.
Guys, we have to go.
Come on, let's go.
Come on, Linda,
let's go, you guys.
Come on.
What the hell is
the matter with you?
Linda.
Linda.
You guys.
Rosie.
What?
(gentle music)
