[man on radio]
And now we have a visit
from our weekly meteorologist,
Aliyah Gray.
[Aliyah]
Hi! Good morning, Daryl.
[Daryl] Good morning, Aliyah.
Um, now, for everyone
who's listening out there,
Aliyah came into our studio
this morning
with a gigantic grin
on her face.
[Aliyah] Oh, yes. Yes, I did,
and I feel like
the space buffs out there
got the same surge
of enthusiasm...
[Daryl] I bet. [chuckling]
[Aliyah] ...and
as little sleep as I did,
because, get this, last night,
two what looked like meteors...
[Daryl] Come on!
[Aliyah] ...penetrated
the Earth's atmosphere.
[Daryl] Wow!
Some people are calling them
comets, meteors, uh...
You know, I've heard
other theories,
like this is intelligent life?
[Aliyah] Yeah.
[Daryl] Or advanced
government technology.
[Aliyah] Oh, well, there is
a deep rabbit hole
on this subject, Daryl,
let me tell ya.
[Daryl] Oh, I bet,
and you know what?
I love a good rabbit hole,
so what's puzzling scientists?
[Aliyah] Okay, honestly,
the science...
Aw, sorry, little bee.
Rosemary Piers
reporting to you live
from the most recent
insect collision.
B the Honeybee, aka Mr. B,
crashed into Lisa the Ladybug
in the early hours
of this morning.
[sighing]
A terrible tragedy,
but an unavoidable tragedy.
Holy smokes!
B the Beehive!
Behold, ladies and gentlemen!
B, B, B, B, B, the Beehive!
Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.
Whoa! Look at you!
[tap dripping]
[sighing]
[sighing]
[running footsteps]
[Rosemary] Dad! Hurry!
There's a beehive growing
on the side of the house!
Yeah?
It's so big! So cool!
You've gotta come see, Dad!
A beehive?
Dad, you have to come see this!
[sighing]
Baby?
Honey, that's not a beehive.
That's a... That's a wasp nest.
It's B the Beehive, Dad!
I already gave it
a name on camera,
so I can't confuse
my audience now.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Where are you going?
I have to do my daily report.
Breakfast soon, Rosie.
Yup!
Your shirt's on inside-out.
Great.
[]
Whoa!
Look at all the bees!
I'm gonna name... you
Bailey the Bee.
Rosemary Piers
reporting to you live
from the scene
of Bailey the Bee.
Frogs were loud last night,
but so quiet this morning.
You see little Rosie
out there this morning?
Oh yeah? Where?
Playing by the barn,
doing her little reporter thing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harley the Hawk,
ladies and gentlemen!
Wow!
Aren't you pretty?
Hi there!
What's your name?
I'm gonna call you
Sammy the Slug.
Rosemary Piers
reporting to you live
from our most recent
slug sighting.
Behold Sammy the Slug,
ladies and gentlemen!
Holy moly! Twice in a day?
We're live!
The scene of B, the new beehive!
This one's predicted
to grow three times bigger,
or maybe five times bigger!
The size of a hot air balloon!
Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.
B, B, B, B, B, the Beehive!
[man on radio]
A new climate report
by the Center for the Study
of the Climate
detailed that we have passed
the new point of no return
when it comes to
the human effects
on the globe's temperatures.
The report now calls
for the formation
of an advanced
scientific crisis...
Trespassers...
[radio]
In other news, two comets
penetrated the Earth's
atmosphere late last night...
[slamming door] Dad!
You're not gonna believe this.
I have so much to report!
Morning.
Good morning.
What are you feeling
for breakfast, kiddo?
Sweet or salty?
sweet?
Is that a... question?
- PB and J?
- PB and J.
Dad, I have all
this stuff to show you.
I saw another B the Beehive
in the forest!
Ah, you're gonna have
to show me after, okay?
Dad, there's trespassers...
Aah!
You go wake your brother up.
Tell him breakfast is ready,
please?
You got it.
Die, Z.O.B.!
No!
[game ending]
[alert beeping]
Dude, you there?
What time tonight
are we all coming over?
Um, I don't know...
uh, 10:00?
10:00? Okay, cool.
I think Sam's
gonna give me a ride.
Cass and D coming?
- Uh, yeah.
- [knocking on door]
What is it?
[knocking]
[Rosemary] Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up!
Oh, man. Just a sec.
Breakfast.
That's it?
Ooh, you were up all night
playing games.
Yeah. So what?
Dad's gonna be angry.
Who cares?
Rosie!
Don't tell him?
There's two beehives
on the property...
- Cool.
- Arron?
If I had a dollar
for every one of you out there
who's been getting in touch
asking me,
"Hey, Rylan, are these aliens,
extraterrestrials?
Or something else,
whatever you want to call them,
"or is this the work
of the government?"
I am not about
to sit here and...
Dad, I wanna show you something.
What time's
your Aunt Zoe coming?
Noon.
I thought it was later.
Dad, watch!
This is the other nest I saw
growing in the big-leaf
maple tree!
[music playing in earbuds]
Good morning.
Arron.
Arron!
What?
Up again
playing games all night?
No... not all night.
I couldn't sleep,
so I woke up really early.
Right, and what?
You're gonna sleep
through the day now?
Sleep through another
beautiful sunny day
and party with your friends
later, is that right?
It's summer.
For one more week.
Remember last summer?
Your mom had you
in that AP Chem lab.
Yeah. She did.
And what?
[phone ringing]
Hello? Piers residence.
Rosemary speaking.
Oh, hey, Rosie. It's Dave here.
Is your dad around?
Yup.
Dad, it's Dave.
Hello?
Hey, Frank. It's Dave here.
Hey, amigo.
Calling about tonight?
Can you come out to
the back of the property here?
The back forest part
where the property ends?
Something you gotta
see here, man.
Jesus.
Looks like an invasion.
That's my property.
I know, amigo.
What's it say there?
"City zoning," Frank.
[scoffing]
That's bullshit.
They can't do this.
What do you wanna do?
Build a fence.
Yeah. Build a fence.
Let's get rid of this shit.
[Frank] You can't do this!
Do you hear the words
coming out of my mouth?
I was never consulted!
Mr. Piers...
They're my trees.
It's my property.
You can't just blindside
a citizen like this.
Mr. Piers,
what I'm saying is that...
[radio] Eric, are you there?
Rosie, go play outside.
[radio] So, Eric,
what were you saying?
[Frank] I was never consulted!
and then three more times
after that,
another on December the 14th,
another three months...
[radio] I was just out
walking my dog...
[Frank] That's not accurate.
You're saying inaccurate...
[radio] ...and I saw the lights.
[Frank] Listen, I wanna
talk to your supervisor!
[radio] After I saw them-
Rosie! Go play outside.
Now!
[phone] I'm going
to analyze your file.
- [Frank] Your supervisor.
- [phone] Mr. Piers...
[radio] This horrible feeling
came over my body.
[phone]
dig deeper into your file.
Yes, I'll hold.
[hold music plays]
[]
- Aunt Zoe!
- Little Bear!
Always growing!
Oh yeah, you've grown too!
What's that supposed to mean?
You reporting on the farm?
I have so much to show you,
Aunt Z.
I can't wait.
There's two bees' nests growing.
There's been trespassing too,
and I filmed nine geese flying!
And that all
happened this morning?
Yeah.
Hey, Aunt Z. How's it going?
Arron, look at you!
Look at you.
You look just like
your Grandpa Malcolm.
Yeah?
Hey there, Zoe.
Hey, Frank.
So, you all packed
and ready to go, Rosie?
I was packed yesterday.
So, how is everybody?
The farm?
The family?
Yeah.
Fine. We're doing fine.
Same usual headaches,
different day, huh?
How's the year
been treating you?
It's...
It's been a challenge,
but...
just trying
to keep busy with work.
The government
marine science stuff?
Marine biology.
I just got back from a study
off the coast of Haida Gwaii.
[Arron] Hey, Aunt Z.
Did you see the comets
last night?
I did. What a treat!
Do you think it's aliens?
Let's not go that fast.
[Arron] Cool, yeah.
[Rosemary] I'm ready!
So, we'll see you
tomorrow morning?
Say around 10:00 a.m.?
Sure. Sounds good.
[truck door opening]
And if I don't see you,
have a great get-together
tonight, okay?
- Thanks.
- Okay.
You behave
with your auntie, okay?
Mm-hmm.
[kissing]
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
I'm so excited!
[engine starting]
[]
She reminds me
too much of your mom.
You say it
like it's a bad thing.
No.
It's just that...
- [door opening]
[door closing]
[]
[Zoe] Are you excited
to go camping?
- Really excited!
- Me too.
[TV] ...one of their best
assets in this tournament
is goalie Jacob Macuda.
Eight goals in a six-game
winning streak.
Some fans reportedly
paid 15 grand
for tickets to tonight's game.
[commentator] These people
are hungry for some payback
after what happened
two nights ago
when he sucker-punched him.
Oh! Look at that!
I can bet you Paris
is gonna get a penalty
for that slip
right here in the first minutes
of the first period.
That's gotta hurt for him.
[commentator] No doubt.
What an embarrassment
for Dan Shaveck.
This coach has put everything
into this team, and...
[TV] How are you gonna make up
for this now, Count Dyer?
Mm. Fish and chips tonight,
lobster tomorrow...
Are we lucky or what?
What lobster?
My brother, Jeff, and his wife
are flying in from Halifax
for the barbecue tomorrow,
and they are bringing
a big crate
of fresh Nova Scotia lobsters.
[chuckling]
What a treat!
Frank, what do you make
of this, uh, comet news?
A lot of people saying
a lot of different things.
Who can keep track
of the news now?
You know,
you got climate change,
tornado here, flood there,
oil spill...
Huh, no kidding.
How do you think it affects us,
all this bad news?
Day in, day out.
Remember when there was a paper?
Well, we still get the paper,
but I know what you mean.
I mean, Davie and I just try
and tune it all out,
don't we, Davie?
What's that?
How's your beer, Frank?
Almost done.
What are the kids doing tonight?
Whatever 17-year-olds do.
[music playing]
[laughter]
[Sam] Sorry, bro, you gotta
get a girlfriend.
[Lucas]
I'll just go fuck myself.
[laughter]
[Sam] God, we should just
be partying, my man!
[Arron] Watch it.
[music playing]
- That's it?
- What?
Man, I thought it was
gonna be cooler than that.
Dude, it's weird.
Nobody knows what it is.
It's comets.
That's just what
they're calling it.
Hey, Arron, you're
being super fun right now.
I'm loving
the conspiracy theories,
but why don't you put them
to bed for tonight
and maybe make a move on Cass?
[Cass]
The air's so fresh out here.
You can see the stars so clear.
[Diana] Yeah, totally.
- Ladies! Hey!
- Hey! What's up?
Can I interest you in a drink?
We have an assortment
of cocktails.
Not if you mixed them.
Ho!
[laughter]
Arron, this is your place?
Uh, yeah, it's, uh, my family's.
It's incredible out here.
Yeah.
I mean, um... yeah.
[laughter]
Our grad year starts
in a week, my friends.
I think that's cause
for celebratory drinks.
Who's with me?
Hear, hear!
I'm DD.
All right.
[pouring]
- Pusher man!
- Thank you...?
- Enjoy your cup.
- Sam, you jerk!
Oh!
Grad '25!
[all] Grad '25!
Let's go!
Yeah, that's good.
[frogs croaking]
[Rosemary] Do you see those
three stars up there?
[Zoe] Oh, yeah.
That's a constellation.
It's called Orion's Belt.
Hey, do you remember the time
we came up here,
like, two years ago?
Yeah. We pitched tents up here.
Yeah, with Mom and Arron.
Yeah.
Mom drew those sketches of you,
and we roasted marshmallows.
[chuckling]
Do you remember
when Arron's marshmallow
caught on fire?
He flicked it into the woods!
And we had to chase after it
and look for it
so he could put it out.
[laughing]
Do you think about her?
Your mom?
I think about her every day.
Me too.
I can feel her.
Did you know that?
Sometimes, when I look
at Mom's paintings,
she says something in my ear.
What does she say?
"Little Bear."
"Stand tall, Little Bear."
Auntie, look!
Did you see that? What was it?
Let's... oh, god.
My phone's dead.
- We gotta go. Now.
- Why?
I'll tell ya later.
We have to go, okay?
Pack your stuff.
Come on, Rosie.
Help me pack up.
[radio] You're listening to all
of your vintage classics
on 106.3 KISG.
[youth laughing outside]
[music playing]
Do you always come out here?
Oh, yeah. All the time.
By yourself,
or with your family?
By myself.
Yeah, it's probably nice
to just sit in your thoughts,
look at the stars...
Hell, yeah.
[Cass] I mean, the stars
are amazing out here.
Yeah, it's...
incredible.
If I lived here,
I would be out here every night.
Yeah?
Oh, my god, look!
Did you see that?
Yeah, that was...
[Lucas] What was that?
You guys see that?
Did you guys make a wish?
[laughing]
What did I miss?
Hey, Sam.
[Diana moaning]
Oh, yeah. Diana drank too much.
I drank way too much.
I need to go home.
Okay.
Can we go right now?
Okay. Gotta go.
Yeah. Yeah.
- See you guys.
- See ya.
[both] Did you do it?
- Please say you did it.
- Tell me you did it.
Dude, I can't listen
to another...
Oh...
Do you think he's mad at me?
[Arron]
Hey! Hey, Cass, wait up!
Night of the Living Dead
is the best George Romero
movie, by the way.
- No, it's not. Dawn of the Dead.
- No, buddy.
- You have no argument.
- Dude. Dude.
My neighbour is having
this big barbecue tomorrow.
Maybe you guys
could all come out again.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
Um, maybe we'll see how D's
feeling in the morning.
[Diana] I wanna go home.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
[Diana] Cass, let's go.
Have a good night.
[Arron] You too.
[car engine starting]
Come on, Rosie.
Keep going. Let's go!
Come on.
Are we lost?
What was that?
Come, Rosie. This way!
[TV] ...jumping for the phone,
and what I'm about to say
is going to blow you away.
I should hit the road.
I'll come and give you a hand
with that fence tomorrow, Frank.
Appreciate it.
[TV] ...a full year's supply
of Shammy Whammy
for five easy payments...
Hey, Frank?
I wanted to ask you...
I don't wanna be nosy.
I'm just...
wondering how you're doing.
How's life
with the kids, being...
You know, managing...?
Fine.
'Cause I had a thought
the other day
about how you're doing, and...
Genie was in the kitchen
talking 'bout
how it's been a year
since Evelyn...
We're fine, Dave.
'Cause if you ever...
We're fine, Dave.
[TV] I'm just imagining
all those
wet paper towels, right now,
filling up our garbage cans.
It's giving me shivers.
This is the solution!
This Shammy Whammy
is the future!
[Frank] Bullshit they sell ya.
[Dave] No kidding.
[TV] ...start and end
with Shammy Whammy!
What's going on?
[Zoe] I'm gonna find out.
[beeping]
[Rosemary] I wanna go home!
I do too.
I just have to make
this call first, okay?
[beeping]
[call ringing]
Hey, Zoe.
I can't talk right now.
We're on our way to see
the National Security Advisor.
It came in at 11:17 p.m.
The same time.
There is no doubt, Zoe...
the comets
are carrying alien life.
[Zoe] Okay, text me.
I'll call you back, okay?
[starting engine]
- Jesus!
- [screaming]
[Gene] You scared the bejesus
out of me!
- [Dave laughing]
- [Frank] I'm sorry.
[Gene] Breakfast is ready.
[Dave laughing]
[Frank sighs]
[radio] Four new comets
penetrated
the Earth's atmosphere
late last night,
events that are perplexing
the scientific community,
who remain divided
on the origins or causes.
Later in the program,
we'll be interviewing
a cosmologist
who is convinced
the conflicting data sets
are a cause to worry.
- [laughing]
- Nice.
You threw yourself
quite a party last night, Frank.
Yeah. [groaning]
[sighing]
Hey, what time
is Zoe dropping Rosie off?
- Um, 10:00.
- Nice.
Breakfast!
[truck approaching fast]
[Gene] Who's that?
Uh, that's Zoe.
She normally drive
like a bat out of hell?
Mm, no.
Sorry, Gene, do you mind?
Thanks.
I'll bring it back.
See you soon, Dave.
Yup.
I worry about that man.
He'll be fine.
We had a great talk last night.
[Zoe] Radial light, yeah.
[radio] Is it safe to say the
scientific community agrees
this is alien life...
[Zoe] Yeah, okay. Yeah.
[radio] ...that there's
some sort of conscious life
behind these so-called comets?
[Zoe] Yeah, I have it
written down.
[radio] The frustrating
part is that...
[Zoe] Okay. Okay,
I'm gonna talk to you after.
Okay. 'Kay, bye.
Got a second?
Frank, I need to talk to you.
All ears.
[radio]
On the ground, for example,
people have reported seeing...
In private.
[radio] ...lights in the forest.
We've heard now several
reports of this, and not to...
[Frank] Outside.
[radio]
by different countries
that are now reporting
similar events...
- [door closing]
- but is there a causal link?
[interviewer] Sorry to
stop you there, Dr. Gurjar,
but I just want to get an idea
of what you, um...
what you personally believe...
[]
Run away from what?
I'm not doing it!
You're telling me stories.
The comets
can't turn into aliens!
In 24 hours,
we could be standing
on a very different planet.
I'm gonna make the opposite bet,
until proven otherwise.
You're being stubborn.
Nah!
I'm giving all the facts.
This has all the signs!
No!
Think about the kids!
[]
Don't tell me
what to do with my kids.
[]
Rosie! Camera off. Now!
Let's help your Aunt Zoe
get her things together.
Why?
She's got some important
scientific stuff to do.
Hey, Frank, be careful
with my things.
Come here. Come here.
[Rosemary] What's wrong?
[Frank] Nothing's wrong.
I'll come back
for you, I promise.
I just have to figure
it out myself first.
Stand tall, Little Bear.
Aunt Z...?
[Rosemary crying]
That everything,
or is there more?
Rosie, stay!
[crying] Why?
'Cause I said.
Your aunt's got
some half-baked ideas
about what's going on
up in the skies.
Comets?
The comets, yeah.
[truck door opening and closing]
[engine starting]
Come on. Let's have
some breakfast.
[radio] Hi! I'm Tony
from Lakeside car dealership.
If you know cars,
you know Tony's.
After over 30 years
in the business,
I've sold over 30,000 cars.
[beating eggs]
[radio]
New factory-direct models...
I'm the king of it all!
So give me a call this instant,
and drive home today with my
90-day problem-free guarantee.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Have you had breakfast?
No.
Well, it's the weekend,
so you know what that means.
[beating]
[radio]
Daryl, I will say one thing.
If, uh, yesterday
was any indication,
maybe a few in the science
community were talking.
Now? All eyes are on this.
I think aliens are still
the least likely scenario,
and even if it did
end up being aliens...
Least likely, Zoe.
[radio] Go on.
Survival of the fittest.
Maybe we're the most dominant
species on Earth...
[changing radio station]
- [salsa music playing]
- Hey, Arron!
Rise and shine, buddy!
[salsa music
playing in the distance]
[knocking on door]
[Frank] Rise and shine!
I got pancakes
cooking downstairs.
[opening door]
Hey, rock star, you survive
the apocalypse?
Lights!
[chuckling] Just checking!
I'll take that as a "yes."
nuclear arsenal capabilities.
So, pay attention now,
because this is no joke.
There are seven nations
in space already
that could destroy all life
on the planet as we know it.
Now, ain't it funny
how no media outlets
are reporting the potential
that this comet could be
a foreign adversary?
Co-in-ci-dence?
Well, you decide.
Should we worry, Dad?
Hey...
Hey...
Kiddo, I'm sorry
I wasn't there last night.
It must have been really scary
with all that happening.
On strange nights,
like last night,
some people, like your aunt
and others...
they get overcome by fear.
All they want to do is run,
but not your dad.
You hear me?
I will always protect you
and your brother.
You need never fear, because...?
Daddy's always here.
That's right.
Let's get some fresh air.
It's a beautiful day.
[]
Wow!
B, you've grown!
This is Rosemary Piers,
reporting to you live
from B the Beehive,
where an extraordinary
development has happened!
B has grown!
B the Beehive,
ladies and gentlemen.
Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.
Good work, man.
Yeah.
[pounding]
You hear that?
Rosie, shh!
Those pricks.
Are those the bad men, Dad?
Rosie, go back to the house
and wake up your brother.
Tell him to get ready.
There might be trouble.
Is something wrong?
[Frank] We're about to find out.
Hurry up, please!
Grab a shovel.
Follow me.
[Frank] Hey!
Hey!
Who are you?
I'm the guy whose property
you're standing on.
Who are you?
Good afternoon.
I'm Wendel Tremblay,
project supervisor.
Hi, Wendel.
You must be either...
Reyes, Sebastien, or...
Piers, Frank.
I'm Frank Piers.
Great.
How can we help, Mr. Piers?
You're about to be trespassing
on my property.
You put a...
Your guys were tagging my trees.
Oh?
Well, listen...
we go by what it says
on the paper,
and according to our papers,
Mr. Piers,
you are currently trespassing
on a permitted
city logging site.
Excuse me?
I'm gonna have to kindly
ask you to stop your work.
You can leave
what you've done there.
My boys can clean it up for now.
Who the hell
do you think you are?
I was on the phone
with the city yesterday.
This is my property,
and these are...
Listen, Frank.
Save me the show.
We're a subcontractor.
If you got beef,
you take it up with the city,
but if my guys
don't have these trees
cleared out by Monday,
all of us will be
in serious trouble.
Is that clear?
Now's time you listen.
All of you can quietly
turn around,
and get the fuck off my property
and outta my sight.
[rattling shovel]
Is that clear?
Just say the word, Boss.
Let's go.
Let's go!
[Dave] Frank...
you're gonna need a lawyer.
Yeah.
[flies buzzing]
[sniffing]
[flies buzzing]
Rise and shine, sleepyhead!
[screaming]
[bowl smashing]
[screaming]
[door slamming]
Open up, Rosie!
[laughing]
I'm gonna kill you!
[Frank] Arron!
Yeah?
[Frank] Get dressed.
I need ya in the back.
[laughing]
I'm gonna get you later.
- Just hold it.
- Oh...
Excellent. Yep, yep, yep.
Okay, um... got it?
Got it.
[burping]
So, how was it last night?
Um...
What about?
How was it?
Yeah...
it was good.
Up in the skies...
did you kids see the comets?
Yeah.
Uh, it was cool.
Yeah?
Hey, Dad, are you...
following all this stuff?
Of course.
And what do you make of it all?
Government technology.
Advanced satellite systems.
Arron...
it's not aliens.
Well, different people are
saying different things, Dad.
Listen, honestly, son...
you need to learn
to not believe everything
you see in the news...
and if we don't have
this fence up by sundown,
we'll have our
whole forest logged.
That's reality.
Come on.
On the wire.
[tractor chugging]
Rosie!
Let's go!
Barbecue.
There's a dead frog!
Leave it!
What if coyotes eat it?
Come on!
We can't just leave it here!
Come on!
I need a bucket!
[Frank] What do you get
when you win it?
You get the beanbag
in the hole, what happens?
You get a prize?
- [Rosemary] I mean, you win...
[Frank] What do you win?
[Rosemary] I mean, you can do it
for different stuff.
Like, you can win
candy for it, nothing...
[Frank] Candy?
'Cause you need more candy?
Yes.
[Frank chuckles]
See the balloons!
[music playing]
[Frank] You like lobster?
[Rosemary]
Um, I haven't tried it.
All right, see what happens.
[music playing]
Hey.
- Hey.
- Nice spread.
It's all Gene.
You know how hard she works.
Trying to make me fat?
Don't look in there.
Ugh.
Damien! [chuckling]
[Rosemary] Don't look in there!
Hey! I told you
not to look in there!
Have you no respect
for the dead?
That's dead?
I was supposed
to give her a proper burial,
but my dad says we're here
for at least three hours.
Burying it seems
like the right thing to do.
Her name was Faye.
[music playing]
Here you go!
Thank you.
So, uh, who doesn't have
a lobster that wants one?
Hey! How about over here?
You're next! You're next!
Adults first.
[youth] Boo!
Oh, you kids.
You guys want some salad?
- Yeah, sure. Thanks.
- There you go.
They were talking
to the Bee Society.
He got a hive two seasons ago,
and all of his bees,
they just up and disappeared
the first year.
- What?
- Yeah.
So they went and they asked him,
"What's going on?"
Dave and I saw
some loggers on my property.
all the bees
abandoned the hive.
There wasn't enough food.
The city's
trying to fell my trees.
- They just go somewhere else.
- They can't do that.
- [Frank] No.
- He said, "Usually, yeah,"
but this year,
they all just died off.
So me and my son,
we built a fence,
but I tell ya...
I'm not feeling good
about what's coming next.
Bastards.
Mm.
So the question really is
what are we gonna do
about our food sources?
'Cause if we don't have the bees
to pollinate everything...
I'm so excited for this.
I've never tried lobster before.
Oh, what? Really?
Yeah. When's the last time
you had lobster?
Oh, um, a couple years ago,
we did a trip to Nova Scotia.
We were with Mom on that trip!
Rosemary!
[Lucas]
Dude, what are you doing?
How many do you think
I could fit in my mouth?
Oh, my god, Sam,
don't embarrass me.
Nice!
No... no.
- Sam, don't be a brat.
- No... no.
Cin cin!
[all] Cheers!
Wow!
[Lucas] My dad doesn't
give a shit about this.
He's like either it's
some thing from outer space,
or the government.
My dad's convinced
it's government satellites
spying on us.
Oh, I didn't know Frank Piers
was a government spy now.
- [chuckling]
- Sam, shut up.
[Cass] I'm so freaked out
because every single scientist
you watch
is freaking out.
[Sam] It was just
a couple little comets.
We saw it happen.
[Lucas] Do you even
remember last night?
You got more trashed
than all of us.
No way. D won by a landslide.
- [Rosemary] Freeze!
- Aah!
[Lucas] Jesus!
That scared me.
Oh, my god, is that
your little sister?
Rosemary?
Sorry for interrupting.
She's totally filming us.
- Rosie, turn the camera off.
- She's filming us.
Dad said no drinking, no drugs.
Turn it off now!
Make me.
Rosie?
Rosie!
[banging]
Rosie!
[Lucas] Yo, your sister's
such a troublemaker.
[Arron] Rosemary?
[Cass] Is it locked?
[Arron] It's jammed.
[Cass] Should we tell someone
about your sister?
[creaking]
[creaking]
I'm Rosemary Piers, on
the search to find the big one,
'cause I'm not afraid to find
the big, big, big, big one.
[buzzing sound]
B?
Is that you?
[banging]
Arron?
[Dave] Rosemary?
Rosemary?
[flicking light switch]
Rosie, look at these
rickety old floorboards.
It's too dangerous to even
be standing around up here.
Come on, let's skedaddle
on out of here.
Mr. Ables...
you have to see this.
Rosie, come on!
It's not time for playing
games, it's time...
What in God...?
Aah! Shit!
What happened?
Did you get hurt, Mr. Ables?
[gasping]
No, I'm fine.
Now, come on. Let's go.
[Dave] Oh...
[Dave breathing hard]
[Gene] Well, look who we found.
Where have you been,
little Rosemary?
[breathlessly] The barn.
You okay?
I gotta go to the washroom.
I'll tell you in a sec.
I think it's time we go
wake up your father,
what do you say?
Sounds like a plan.
Let's go.
[TV playing quietly]
Dad.
Uh... Rosie?
Dave found your little one
playing explorer in the barn.
[Frank] Oh...
Did you break something?
Dad, you have to come
see B the Beehive.
The beehive?
I think it might be angry.
Oh, yeah?
The wasp nest.
Is that the first one
or the second one?
There's three.
You need to come see it!
I'm a bit tired, sweetie.
Will it still be there tomorrow?
Who... wants leftovers?
Wow.
Thank you so much, Genie.
[shower running]
Oh...
A feast like no other.
Look at that.
Tomorrow's dinner,
all taken care of.
- That was nice, eh?
- Yeah.
The party boy in bed already?
Well, it sounds like
he started the shower.
I don't know
what that's all about.
Well, ol' Davie's fried.
Well, but he always
says his goodbyes.
- It's fine.
- Well, you want me to get him?
Ah, I'm sure I'll see him again.
Ah, well, I'm sure you will.
Have a wonderful evening,
you two.
- Good night, Mrs. Ables.
- Good night.
[Frank] I ate too much.
I'm so full.
You know if your brother
has some friends over?
[Rosemary] I don't know.
Dad, I just need
to go bury Faye.
[Frank] Who?
[Rosemary] Faye the Frog.
Oh, seriously, Rosie?
Yes. Seriously.
Fine, just don't go
too far in the back.
Yup, you got it!
Okay.
[sighing]
[sinister music plays]
[Diana] This is so creepy!
[Sam] Man, you keep saying that
every five minutes.
[Lucas] This dude's gonna die.
[Sam] Man,
can you walk any faster?
Looks like D on a bad day.
[chuckling]
[Diana] Shut up, Lucas.
This girl's so creepy.
I'm not scared at all.
[Frank screams]
Oh, my god.
[laughing]
Dad!
[laughing]
Scary movie?
[Lucas] Yeah.
[Frank] Which one's this?
Just some crappy found-footage
horror movie.
Well, have fun.
Hey, Dad!
Um, I... I just wondered
if you, uh, talked
to Aunt Zoe today?
Briefly.
I just wondered...
um, I don't know...
her opinion on
all this stuff going on.
Her thoughts about the comets
and everything else going on.
Yeah, she, um...
We didn't talk that much.
Hmm.
You worked hard
on that fence today, Son.
You have fun with your friends.
I hope you had a good life
on Earth, Faye.
Have a safe journey home.
[pounding]
Stop! What are you doing?
Hey.
Hey, get out of here, kid!
No! You get out of here!
Get out!
What'd I say? Watch it!
Come on!
[buzzing sound]
Mason...
What?
Dad! Dad!
Rosie?
What is it?
There's loggers in the back!
What?
I saw them.
Where? Here? Now?
They're destroying the fence!
What happened to your face?
No! Why is he doing that?
It's classic. Come on.
Oh, my god, run, dude.
Listen up, everybody.
I need you to all go home.
A family emergency's come up.
Arron, I need to see you.
What's going on, man?
- You good?
- Dad?
What's going on?
I need your help.
There are loggers in the back
tearing up the place.
What?
What... what are we gonna do?
We're gonna scare them off.
Why can't we just
call the police?
The police work for the city.
The loggers work for the city.
- Dad. Dad.
- Come on, Son, let's go!
Dad! Stop! Okay?
Think!
This is insane!
Dad!
Boots on. Now!
[Cass] What happened?
There's men trespassing
in the back.
Oh, my God.
Your dad need backup?
Doubt it.
[Frank] Arron?
What?
I'm firing the tractor.
Let's go!
Hey, man, are you sure
we shouldn't wait?
No, it's all good.
I'll message.
Good luck, man.
[door closing]
I think we should wait, Arron.
- Cass...?
- No, really.
We'll be okay.
- We've got to go home.
- Okay.
You have my number?
Yeah, I got your number.
I had a great night.
Yeah?
Me too.
[vehicle leaving]
Be careful.
I will.
Okay.
See ya soon.
[door closing]
[tractor approaching]
I love driving
over this rough ground,
especially in the dark.
[idling low]
[turning engine off]
What... what... what... what?
Just in case.
Dad, I... I... I... I don't
like this at...
for one bit.
Dad?
Just... stay there. Wait.
- Dad?
- Don't come any closer.
Is he dead?
Dad! Is he dead?
Yes.
[low buzzing sound]
[Frank] Rosie?
Rosemary!
Daddy!
Something's wrong. B's upset!
[crying]
[Frank] What?
That's... B the Beehive.
Honey...
That's not a beehive.
[Rosemary] It changed!
Rosie, stand back.
Don't stand so close to it.
What is it, Daddy?
Did you know about this, Arron?
No.
Arron?
No.
No!
Arron...
bring the tractor here.
There's a ladder
on the back of it.
Now?
Yes... now.
[tractor engine running]
Stay here.
[low buzzing]
[gasping]
- Daddy?
- Dad?
I'm okay.
Daddy?
Arron, bring the tractor
back to the shed.
Take your sister with you.
Dad! What...
what... what about...?
We'll deal with it.
It's too dark now
to see anything anyway.
Dad!
We have to do something!
Go home with the tractor, Arron.
Take your sister with you.
- Dad, I'm freaking out!
- Go home!
Go!
[Arron] Let's go.
Go home.
[starting tractor engine]
God, this is so messed up.
Are we gonna die?
No.
I had the same feeling
the day at the hospital...
Rosie, just... just stop, okay?
I... everyone needs to think,
and we'll figure this out.
Are you scared?
No.
Tell the truth!
Yes, of course I'm scared.
It's my fault, just say it!
It's not your fault, Rosie.
I know you blame me.
No.
Just like when Mom died.
Don't talk about Mom!
Why?
Why don't you want to
talk to me anymore, Arron?
You used to always talk to me.
I never stopped talking to you.
I...
I stopped talking to everyone.
I'm so scared.
I'm sorry.

Yes.
All right, sir, I'm just going

One moment, please.
All right, so, I understand that
you are away from your family?
Yes, that's correct.
Right. I understand.

because the shower's running,
but he's not answering me.
Do you think... what...
What if he's had a stroke?
Call 9-1-1.
Just don't know
if I should call the ambulance?
Keep your doors locked, Gene.

Kiddo...
We have to say goodbye
for a little while, okay?
No, please, Dad?

If he says "run," you run.
If he says "hide," you hide.
Dad, don't go! Don't go!

Tell me you understand.

And now we have a visit
from our weekly meteorologist,
Aliyah Gray.
[Aliyah]
Hi! Good morning, Daryl.
[Daryl] Good morning, Aliyah.
Um, now, for everyone
who's listening out there,
Aliyah came into our studio
this morning
with a gigantic grin
on her face.
[Aliyah] Oh, yes. Yes, I did,
and I feel like
the space buffs out there
got the same surge
of enthusiasm...
[Daryl] I bet. [chuckling]
[Aliyah] ...and
as little sleep as I did,
because, get this, last night,
two what looked like meteors...
[Daryl] Come on!
[Aliyah] ...penetrated
the Earth's atmosphere.
[Daryl] Wow!
Some people are calling them
comets, meteors, uh...
You know, I've heard
other theories,
like this is intelligent life?
[Aliyah] Yeah.
[Daryl] Or advanced
government technology.
[Aliyah] Oh, well, there is
a deep rabbit hole
on this subject, Daryl,
let me tell ya.
[Daryl] Oh, I bet,
and you know what?
I love a good rabbit hole,
so what's puzzling scientists?
[Aliyah] Okay, honestly,
the science...
Aw, sorry, little bee.
Rosemary Piers
reporting to you live
from the most recent
insect collision.
B the Honeybee, aka Mr. B,
crashed into Lisa the Ladybug
in the early hours
of this morning.
[sighing]
A terrible tragedy,
but an unavoidable tragedy.
Holy smokes!
B the Beehive!
Behold, ladies and gentlemen!
B, B, B, B, B, the Beehive!
Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.
Whoa! Look at you!
[tap dripping]
[sighing]
[sighing]
[running footsteps]
[Rosemary] Dad! Hurry!
There's a beehive growing
on the side of the house!
Yeah?
It's so big! So cool!
You've gotta come see, Dad!
A beehive?
Dad, you have to come see this!
[sighing]
Baby?
Honey, that's not a beehive.
That's a... That's a wasp nest.
It's B the Beehive, Dad!
I already gave it
a name on camera,
so I can't confuse
my audience now.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Where are you going?
I have to do my daily report.
Breakfast soon, Rosie.
Yup!
Your shirt's on inside-out.
Great.

Whoa!
Look at all the bees!

Bailey the Bee.

Frogs were loud last night,

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

A new climate report
by the Center for the Study
of the Climate
detailed that we have passed
the new point of no return
when it comes to
the human effects
on the globe's temperatures.
The report now calls
for the formation
of an advanced
scientific crisis...
Trespassers...
[radio]
In other news, two comets
penetrated the Earth's
atmosphere late last night...
[slamming door] Dad!
You're not gonna believe this.
I have so much to report!
Morning.
Good morning.
What are you feeling
for breakfast, kiddo?
Sweet or salty?
sweet?
Is that a... question?
- PB and J?
- PB and J.
Dad, I have all
this stuff to show you.
I saw another B the Beehive
in the forest!
Ah, you're gonna have
to show me after, okay?
Dad, there's trespassers...
Aah!
You go wake your brother up.
Tell him breakfast is ready,
please?
You got it.
Die, Z.O.B.!
No!
[game ending]
[alert beeping]
Dude, you there?
What time tonight
are we all coming over?
Um, I don't know...

I think Sam's
gonna give me a ride.
Cass and D coming?

[Rosemary] Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up!
Oh, man. Just a sec.
Breakfast.
That's it?
Ooh, you were up all night
playing games.
Yeah. So what?
Dad's gonna be angry.
Who cares?
Rosie!
Don't tell him?
There's two beehives
on the property...
- Cool.
- Arron?
If I had a dollar
for every one of you out there
who's been getting in touch
asking me,
"Hey, Rylan, are these aliens,
extraterrestrials?
Or something else,
whatever you want to call them,
"or is this the work
of the government?"
I am not about
to sit here and...
Dad, I wanna show you something.
What time's
your Aunt Zoe coming?
Noon.
I thought it was later.
Dad, watch!
This is the other nest I saw
growing in the big-leaf
maple tree!
[music playing in earbuds]
Good morning.
Arron.
Arron!
What?
Up again
playing games all night?
No... not all night.
I couldn't sleep,
so I woke up really early.
Right, and what?
You're gonna sleep
through the day now?
Sleep through another
beautiful sunny day
and party with your friends
later, is that right?
It's summer.
For one more week.
Remember last summer?
Your mom had you
in that AP Chem lab.
Yeah. She did.
And what?
[phone ringing]
Hello? Piers residence.
Rosemary speaking.
Oh, hey, Rosie. It's Dave here.
Is your dad around?
Yup.
Dad, it's Dave.
Hello?
Hey, Frank. It's Dave here.
Hey, amigo.
Calling about tonight?
Can you come out to
the back of the property here?
The back forest part
where the property ends?
Something you gotta
see here, man.
Jesus.
Looks like an invasion.
That's my property.
I know, amigo.
What's it say there?
"City zoning," Frank.
[scoffing]
That's bullshit.
They can't do this.
What do you wanna do?
Build a fence.
Yeah. Build a fence.
Let's get rid of this shit.
[Frank] You can't do this!
Do you hear the words
coming out of my mouth?
I was never consulted!
Mr. Piers...
They're my trees.
It's my property.
You can't just blindside
a citizen like this.
Mr. Piers,
what I'm saying is that...
[radio] Eric, are you there?
Rosie, go play outside.
[radio] So, Eric,
what were you saying?
[Frank] I was never consulted!
and then three more times
after that,
another on December the 14th,
another three months...
[radio] I was just out
walking my dog...
[Frank] That's not accurate.
You're saying inaccurate...
[radio] ...and I saw the lights.
[Frank] Listen, I wanna
talk to your supervisor!
[radio] After I saw them-
Rosie! Go play outside.
Now!
[phone] I'm going
to analyze your file.
- [Frank] Your supervisor.
- [phone] Mr. Piers...
[radio] This horrible feeling
came over my body.
[phone]
dig deeper into your file.
Yes, I'll hold.
[hold music plays]

- Aunt Zoe!
- Little Bear!
Always growing!
Oh yeah, you've grown too!
What's that supposed to mean?
You reporting on the farm?
I have so much to show you,
Aunt Z.
I can't wait.
There's two bees' nests growing.
There's been trespassing too,
and I filmed nine geese flying!
And that all
happened this morning?
Yeah.
Hey, Aunt Z. How's it going?
Arron, look at you!
Look at you.
You look just like
your Grandpa Malcolm.
Yeah?
Hey there, Zoe.
Hey, Frank.
So, you all packed
and ready to go, Rosie?
I was packed yesterday.
So, how is everybody?
The farm?
The family?
Yeah.
Fine. We're doing fine.
Same usual headaches,
different day, huh?
How's the year
been treating you?
It's...
It's been a challenge,
but...
just trying
to keep busy with work.
The government
marine science stuff?
Marine biology.
I just got back from a study
off the coast of Haida Gwaii.
[Arron] Hey, Aunt Z.
Did you see the comets
last night?
I did. What a treat!
Do you think it's aliens?
Let's not go that fast.
[Arron] Cool, yeah.
[Rosemary] I'm ready!
So, we'll see you
tomorrow morning?
Say around 10:00 a.m.?
Sure. Sounds good.
[truck door opening]
And if I don't see you,
have a great get-together
tonight, okay?
- Thanks.
- Okay.
You behave
with your auntie, okay?
Mm-hmm.
[kissing]
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
I'm so excited!
[engine starting]
[]
She reminds me
too much of your mom.
You say it
like it's a bad thing.
No.
It's just that...
- [door opening]
[door closing]
[]
[Zoe] Are you excited
to go camping?
- Really excited!
- Me too.
[TV] ...one of their best
assets in this tournament
is goalie Jacob Macuda.
Eight goals in a six-game
winning streak.
Some fans reportedly
paid 15 grand
for tickets to tonight's game.
[commentator] These people
are hungry for some payback
after what happened
two nights ago
when he sucker-punched him.
Oh! Look at that!
I can bet you Paris
is gonna get a penalty
for that slip
right here in the first minutes
of the first period.
That's gotta hurt for him.
[commentator] No doubt.
What an embarrassment
for Dan Shaveck.
This coach has put everything
into this team, and...
[TV] How are you gonna make up
for this now, Count Dyer?
Mm. Fish and chips tonight,
lobster tomorrow...
Are we lucky or what?
What lobster?
My brother, Jeff, and his wife
are flying in from Halifax
for the barbecue tomorrow,
and they are bringing
a big crate
of fresh Nova Scotia lobsters.
[chuckling]
What a treat!
Frank, what do you make
of this, uh, comet news?
A lot of people saying
a lot of different things.
Who can keep track
of the news now?
You know,
you got climate change,
tornado here, flood there,
oil spill...
Huh, no kidding.
How do you think it affects us,
all this bad news?
Day in, day out.
Remember when there was a paper?
Well, we still get the paper,
but I know what you mean.
I mean, Davie and I just try
and tune it all out,
don't we, Davie?
What's that?
How's your beer, Frank?
Almost done.
What are the kids doing tonight?
Whatever 17-year-olds do.
[music playing]
[laughter]
[Sam] Sorry, bro, you gotta
get a girlfriend.
[Lucas]
I'll just go fuck myself.
[laughter]
[Sam] God, we should just
be partying, my man!
[Arron] Watch it.
[music playing]
- That's it?
- What?
Man, I thought it was
gonna be cooler than that.
Dude, it's weird.
Nobody knows what it is.
It's comets.
That's just what
they're calling it.
Hey, Arron, you're
being super fun right now.
I'm loving
the conspiracy theories,
but why don't you put them
to bed for tonight
and maybe make a move on Cass?
[Cass]
The air's so fresh out here.
You can see the stars so clear.
[Diana] Yeah, totally.
- Ladies! Hey!
- Hey! What's up?
Can I interest you in a drink?
We have an assortment
of cocktails.
Not if you mixed them.
Ho!
[laughter]
Arron, this is your place?
Uh, yeah, it's, uh, my family's.
It's incredible out here.
Yeah.
I mean, um... yeah.
[laughter]
Our grad year starts
in a week, my friends.
I think that's cause
for celebratory drinks.
Who's with me?
Hear, hear!
I'm DD.
All right.
[pouring]
- Pusher man!
- Thank you...?
- Enjoy your cup.
- Sam, you jerk!
Oh!
Grad '25!
[all] Grad '25!
Let's go!
Yeah, that's good.
[frogs croaking]
[Rosemary] Do you see those
three stars up there?
[Zoe] Oh, yeah.
That's a constellation.
It's called Orion's Belt.
Hey, do you remember the time
we came up here,
like, two years ago?
Yeah. We pitched tents up here.
Yeah, with Mom and Arron.
Yeah.
Mom drew those sketches of you,
and we roasted marshmallows.
[chuckling]
Do you remember
when Arron's marshmallow
caught on fire?
He flicked it into the woods!
And we had to chase after it
and look for it
so he could put it out.
[laughing]
Do you think about her?
Your mom?
I think about her every day.
Me too.
I can feel her.
Did you know that?
Sometimes, when I look
at Mom's paintings,
she says something in my ear.
What does she say?
"Little Bear."
"Stand tall, Little Bear."
Auntie, look!
Did you see that? What was it?
Let's... oh, god.
My phone's dead.
- We gotta go. Now.
- Why?
I'll tell ya later.
We have to go, okay?
Pack your stuff.
Come on, Rosie.
Help me pack up.
[radio] You're listening to all
of your vintage classics
on 106.3 KISG.
[youth laughing outside]
[music playing]
Do you always come out here?
Oh, yeah. All the time.
By yourself,
or with your family?
By myself.
Yeah, it's probably nice
to just sit in your thoughts,
look at the stars...
Hell, yeah.
[Cass] I mean, the stars
are amazing out here.
Yeah, it's...
incredible.
If I lived here,
I would be out here every night.
Yeah?
Oh, my god, look!
Did you see that?
Yeah, that was...
[Lucas] What was that?
You guys see that?
Did you guys make a wish?
[laughing]
What did I miss?
Hey, Sam.
[Diana moaning]
Oh, yeah. Diana drank too much.
I drank way too much.
I need to go home.
Okay.
Can we go right now?
Okay. Gotta go.
Yeah. Yeah.
- See you guys.
- See ya.
[both] Did you do it?
- Please say you did it.
- Tell me you did it.
Dude, I can't listen
to another...
Oh...
Do you think he's mad at me?
[Arron]
Hey! Hey, Cass, wait up!
Night of the Living Dead
is the best George Romero
movie, by the way.
- No, it's not. Dawn of the Dead.
- No, buddy.
- You have no argument.
- Dude. Dude.
My neighbour is having
this big barbecue tomorrow.
Maybe you guys
could all come out again.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
Um, maybe we'll see how D's
feeling in the morning.
[Diana] I wanna go home.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
[Diana] Cass, let's go.
Have a good night.
[Arron] You too.
[car engine starting]
Come on, Rosie.
Keep going. Let's go!
Come on.
Are we lost?
What was that?
Come, Rosie. This way!
[TV] ...jumping for the phone,
and what I'm about to say
is going to blow you away.
I should hit the road.
I'll come and give you a hand
with that fence tomorrow, Frank.
Appreciate it.
[TV] ...a full year's supply
of Shammy Whammy
for five easy payments...
Hey, Frank?
I wanted to ask you...
I don't wanna be nosy.
I'm just...
wondering how you're doing.
How's life
with the kids, being...
You know, managing...?
Fine.
'Cause I had a thought
the other day
about how you're doing, and...
Genie was in the kitchen
talking 'bout
how it's been a year
since Evelyn...
We're fine, Dave.
'Cause if you ever...
We're fine, Dave.
[TV] I'm just imagining
all those
wet paper towels, right now,
filling up our garbage cans.
It's giving me shivers.
This is the solution!
This Shammy Whammy
is the future!
[Frank] Bullshit they sell ya.
[Dave] No kidding.
[TV] ...start and end
with Shammy Whammy!
What's going on?
[Zoe] I'm gonna find out.
[beeping]
[Rosemary] I wanna go home!
I do too.
I just have to make
this call first, okay?
[beeping]
[call ringing]
Hey, Zoe.
I can't talk right now.
We're on our way to see
the National Security Advisor.
It came in at 11:17 p.m.
The same time.
There is no doubt, Zoe...
the comets
are carrying alien life.
[Zoe] Okay, text me.
I'll call you back, okay?
[starting engine]
- Jesus!
- [screaming]
[Gene] You scared the bejesus
out of me!
- [Dave laughing]
- [Frank] I'm sorry.
[Gene] Breakfast is ready.
[Dave laughing]
[Frank sighs]
[radio] Four new comets
penetrated
the Earth's atmosphere
late last night,
events that are perplexing
the scientific community,
who remain divided
on the origins or causes.
Later in the program,
we'll be interviewing
a cosmologist
who is convinced
the conflicting data sets
are a cause to worry.
- [laughing]
- Nice.
You threw yourself
quite a party last night, Frank.
Yeah. [groaning]
[sighing]
Hey, what time
is Zoe dropping Rosie off?
- Um, 10:00.
- Nice.
Breakfast!
[truck approaching fast]
[Gene] Who's that?
Uh, that's Zoe.
She normally drive
like a bat out of hell?
Mm, no.
Sorry, Gene, do you mind?
Thanks.
I'll bring it back.
See you soon, Dave.
Yup.
I worry about that man.
He'll be fine.
We had a great talk last night.
[Zoe] Radial light, yeah.
[radio] Is it safe to say the
scientific community agrees
this is alien life...
[Zoe] Yeah, okay. Yeah.
[radio] ...that there's
some sort of conscious life
behind these so-called comets?
[Zoe] Yeah, I have it
written down.
[radio] The frustrating
part is that...
[Zoe] Okay. Okay,
I'm gonna talk to you after.
Okay. 'Kay, bye.
Got a second?
Frank, I need to talk to you.
All ears.
[radio]
On the ground, for example,
people have reported seeing...
In private.
[radio] ...lights in the forest.
We've heard now several
reports of this, and not to...
[Frank] Outside.
[radio]
by different countries
that are now reporting
similar events...
- [door closing]
- but is there a causal link?
[interviewer] Sorry to
stop you there, Dr. Gurjar,
but I just want to get an idea
of what you, um...
what you personally believe...
[]
Run away from what?
I'm not doing it!
You're telling me stories.
The comets
can't turn into aliens!
In 24 hours,
we could be standing
on a very different planet.
I'm gonna make the opposite bet,
until proven otherwise.
You're being stubborn.
Nah!
I'm giving all the facts.
This has all the signs!
No!
Think about the kids!
[]
Don't tell me
what to do with my kids.
[]
Rosie! Camera off. Now!
Let's help your Aunt Zoe
get her things together.
Why?
She's got some important
scientific stuff to do.
Hey, Frank, be careful
with my things.
Come here. Come here.
[Rosemary] What's wrong?
[Frank] Nothing's wrong.
I'll come back
for you, I promise.
I just have to figure
it out myself first.
Stand tall, Little Bear.
Aunt Z...?
[Rosemary crying]
That everything,
or is there more?
Rosie, stay!
[crying] Why?
'Cause I said.
Your aunt's got
some half-baked ideas
about what's going on
up in the skies.
Comets?
The comets, yeah.
[truck door opening and closing]
[engine starting]
Come on. Let's have
some breakfast.
[radio] Hi! I'm Tony
from Lakeside car dealership.
If you know cars,
you know Tony's.
After over 30 years
in the business,
I've sold over 30,000 cars.
[beating eggs]
[radio]
New factory-direct models...
I'm the king of it all!
So give me a call this instant,
and drive home today with my
90-day problem-free guarantee.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Have you had breakfast?
No.
Well, it's the weekend,
so you know what that means.
[beating]
[radio]
Daryl, I will say one thing.
If, uh, yesterday
was any indication,
maybe a few in the science
community were talking.
Now? All eyes are on this.
I think aliens are still
the least likely scenario,
and even if it did
end up being aliens...
Least likely, Zoe.
[radio] Go on.
Survival of the fittest.
Maybe we're the most dominant
species on Earth...
[changing radio station]
- [salsa music playing]
- Hey, Arron!
Rise and shine, buddy!
[salsa music
playing in the distance]
[knocking on door]
[Frank] Rise and shine!
I got pancakes
cooking downstairs.
[opening door]
Hey, rock star, you survive
the apocalypse?
Lights!
[chuckling] Just checking!
I'll take that as a "yes."
nuclear arsenal capabilities.
So, pay attention now,
because this is no joke.
There are seven nations
in space already
that could destroy all life
on the planet as we know it.
Now, ain't it funny
how no media outlets
are reporting the potential
that this comet could be
a foreign adversary?
Co-in-ci-dence?
Well, you decide.
Should we worry, Dad?
Hey...
Hey...
Kiddo, I'm sorry
I wasn't there last night.
It must have been really scary
with all that happening.
On strange nights,
like last night,
some people, like your aunt
and others...
they get overcome by fear.
All they want to do is run,
but not your dad.
You hear me?
I will always protect you
and your brother.
You need never fear, because...?
Daddy's always here.
That's right.
Let's get some fresh air.
It's a beautiful day.
[]
Wow!
B, you've grown!
This is Rosemary Piers,
reporting to you live
from B the Beehive,
where an extraordinary
development has happened!
B has grown!
B the Beehive,
ladies and gentlemen.
Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.
Good work, man.
Yeah.
[pounding]
You hear that?
Rosie, shh!
Those pricks.
Are those the bad men, Dad?
Rosie, go back to the house
and wake up your brother.
Tell him to get ready.
There might be trouble.
Is something wrong?
[Frank] We're about to find out.
Hurry up, please!
Grab a shovel.
Follow me.
[Frank] Hey!
Hey!
Who are you?
I'm the guy whose property
you're standing on.
Who are you?
Good afternoon.
I'm Wendel Tremblay,
project supervisor.
Hi, Wendel.
You must be either...
Reyes, Sebastien, or...
Piers, Frank.
I'm Frank Piers.
Great.
How can we help, Mr. Piers?
You're about to be trespassing
on my property.
You put a...
Your guys were tagging my trees.
Oh?
Well, listen...
we go by what it says
on the paper,
and according to our papers,
Mr. Piers,
you are currently trespassing
on a permitted
city logging site.
Excuse me?
I'm gonna have to kindly
ask you to stop your work.
You can leave
what you've done there.
My boys can clean it up for now.
Who the hell
do you think you are?
I was on the phone
with the city yesterday.
This is my property,
and these are...
Listen, Frank.
Save me the show.
We're a subcontractor.
If you got beef,
you take it up with the city,
but if my guys
don't have these trees
cleared out by Monday,
all of us will be
in serious trouble.
Is that clear?
Now's time you listen.
All of you can quietly
turn around,
and get the fuck off my property
and outta my sight.
[rattling shovel]
Is that clear?
Just say the word, Boss.
Let's go.
Let's go!
[Dave] Frank...
you're gonna need a lawyer.
Yeah.
[flies buzzing]
[sniffing]
[flies buzzing]
Rise and shine, sleepyhead!
[screaming]
[bowl smashing]
[screaming]
[door slamming]
Open up, Rosie!
[laughing]
I'm gonna kill you!
[Frank] Arron!
Yeah?
[Frank] Get dressed.
I need ya in the back.
[laughing]
I'm gonna get you later.
- Just hold it.
- Oh...
Excellent. Yep, yep, yep.
Okay, um... got it?
Got it.
[burping]
So, how was it last night?
Um...
What about?
How was it?
Yeah...
it was good.
Up in the skies...
did you kids see the comets?
Yeah.
Uh, it was cool.
Yeah?
Hey, Dad, are you...
following all this stuff?
Of course.
And what do you make of it all?
Government technology.
Advanced satellite systems.
Arron...
it's not aliens.
Well, different people are
saying different things, Dad.
Listen, honestly, son...
you need to learn
to not believe everything
you see in the news...
and if we don't have
this fence up by sundown,
we'll have our
whole forest logged.
That's reality.
Come on.
On the wire.
[tractor chugging]
Rosie!
Let's go!
Barbecue.
There's a dead frog!
Leave it!
What if coyotes eat it?
Come on!
We can't just leave it here!
Come on!
I need a bucket!
[Frank] What do you get
when you win it?
You get the beanbag
in the hole, what happens?
You get a prize?
- [Rosemary] I mean, you win...
[Frank] What do you win?
[Rosemary] I mean, you can do it
for different stuff.
Like, you can win
candy for it, nothing...
[Frank] Candy?
'Cause you need more candy?
Yes.
[Frank chuckles]
See the balloons!
[music playing]
[Frank] You like lobster?
[Rosemary]
Um, I haven't tried it.
All right, see what happens.
[music playing]
Hey.
- Hey.
- Nice spread.
It's all Gene.
You know how hard she works.
Trying to make me fat?
Don't look in there.
Ugh.
Damien! [chuckling]
[Rosemary] Don't look in there!
Hey! I told you
not to look in there!
Have you no respect
for the dead?
That's dead?
I was supposed
to give her a proper burial,
but my dad says we're here
for at least three hours.
Burying it seems
like the right thing to do.
Her name was Faye.
[music playing]
Here you go!
Thank you.
So, uh, who doesn't have
a lobster that wants one?
Hey! How about over here?
You're next! You're next!
Adults first.
[youth] Boo!
Oh, you kids.
You guys want some salad?
- Yeah, sure. Thanks.
- There you go.
They were talking
to the Bee Society.
He got a hive two seasons ago,
and all of his bees,
they just up and disappeared
the first year.
- What?
- Yeah.
So they went and they asked him,
"What's going on?"
Dave and I saw
some loggers on my property.
all the bees
abandoned the hive.
There wasn't enough food.
The city's
trying to fell my trees.
- They just go somewhere else.
- They can't do that.
- [Frank] No.
- He said, "Usually, yeah,"
but this year,
they all just died off.
So me and my son,
we built a fence,
but I tell ya...
I'm not feeling good
about what's coming next.
Bastards.
Mm.
So the question really is
what are we gonna do
about our food sources?
'Cause if we don't have the bees
to pollinate everything...
I'm so excited for this.
I've never tried lobster before.
Oh, what? Really?
Yeah. When's the last time
you had lobster?
Oh, um, a couple years ago,
we did a trip to Nova Scotia.
We were with Mom on that trip!
Rosemary!
[Lucas]
Dude, what are you doing?
How many do you think
I could fit in my mouth?
Oh, my god, Sam,
don't embarrass me.
Nice!
No... no.
- Sam, don't be a brat.
- No... no.
Cin cin!
[all] Cheers!
Wow!
[Lucas] My dad doesn't
give a shit about this.
He's like either it's
some thing from outer space,
or the government.
My dad's convinced
it's government satellites
spying on us.
Oh, I didn't know Frank Piers
was a government spy now.
- [chuckling]
- Sam, shut up.
[Cass] I'm so freaked out
because every single scientist
you watch
is freaking out.
[Sam] It was just
a couple little comets.
We saw it happen.
[Lucas] Do you even
remember last night?
You got more trashed
than all of us.
No way. D won by a landslide.
- [Rosemary] Freeze!
- Aah!
[Lucas] Jesus!
That scared me.
Oh, my god, is that
your little sister?
Rosemary?
Sorry for interrupting.
She's totally filming us.
- Rosie, turn the camera off.
- She's filming us.
Dad said no drinking, no drugs.
Turn it off now!
Make me.
Rosie?
Rosie!
[banging]
Rosie!
[Lucas] Yo, your sister's
such a troublemaker.
[Arron] Rosemary?
[Cass] Is it locked?
[Arron] It's jammed.
[Cass] Should we tell someone
about your sister?
[creaking]
[creaking]
I'm Rosemary Piers, on
the search to find the big one,
'cause I'm not afraid to find
the big, big, big, big one.
[buzzing sound]
B?
Is that you?
[banging]
Arron?
[Dave] Rosemary?
Rosemary?
[flicking light switch]
Rosie, look at these
rickety old floorboards.
It's too dangerous to even
be standing around up here.
Come on, let's skedaddle
on out of here.
Mr. Ables...
you have to see this.
Rosie, come on!
It's not time for playing
games, it's time...
What in God...?
Aah! Shit!
What happened?
Did you get hurt, Mr. Ables?
[gasping]
No, I'm fine.
Now, come on. Let's go.
[Dave] Oh...
[Dave breathing hard]
[Gene] Well, look who we found.
Where have you been,
little Rosemary?
[breathlessly] The barn.
You okay?
I gotta go to the washroom.
I'll tell you in a sec.
I think it's time we go
wake up your father,
what do you say?
Sounds like a plan.
Let's go.
[TV playing quietly]
Dad.
Uh... Rosie?
Dave found your little one
playing explorer in the barn.
[Frank] Oh...
Did you break something?
Dad, you have to come
see B the Beehive.
The beehive?
I think it might be angry.
Oh, yeah?
The wasp nest.
Is that the first one
or the second one?
There's three.
You need to come see it!
I'm a bit tired, sweetie.
Will it still be there tomorrow?
Who... wants leftovers?
Wow.
Thank you so much, Genie.
[shower running]
Oh...
A feast like no other.
Look at that.
Tomorrow's dinner,
all taken care of.
- That was nice, eh?
- Yeah.
The party boy in bed already?
Well, it sounds like
he started the shower.
I don't know
what that's all about.
Well, ol' Davie's fried.
Well, but he always
says his goodbyes.
- It's fine.
- Well, you want me to get him?
Ah, I'm sure I'll see him again.
Ah, well, I'm sure you will.
Have a wonderful evening,
you two.
- Good night, Mrs. Ables.
- Good night.
[Frank] I ate too much.
I'm so full.
You know if your brother
has some friends over?
[Rosemary] I don't know.
Dad, I just need
to go bury Faye.
[Frank] Who?
[Rosemary] Faye the Frog.
Oh, seriously, Rosie?
Yes. Seriously.
Fine, just don't go
too far in the back.
Yup, you got it!
Okay.
[sighing]
[sinister music plays]
[Diana] This is so creepy!
[Sam] Man, you keep saying that
every five minutes.
[Lucas] This dude's gonna die.
[Sam] Man,
can you walk any faster?
Looks like D on a bad day.
[chuckling]
[Diana] Shut up, Lucas.
This girl's so creepy.
I'm not scared at all.
[Frank screams]
Oh, my god.
[laughing]
Dad!
[laughing]
Scary movie?
[Lucas] Yeah.
[Frank] Which one's this?
Just some crappy found-footage
horror movie.
Well, have fun.
Hey, Dad!
Um, I... I just wondered
if you, uh, talked
to Aunt Zoe today?
Briefly.
I just wondered...
um, I don't know...
her opinion on
all this stuff going on.
Her thoughts about the comets
and everything else going on.
Yeah, she, um...
We didn't talk that much.
Hmm.
You worked hard
on that fence today, Son.
You have fun with your friends.
I hope you had a good life
on Earth, Faye.
Have a safe journey home.
[pounding]
Stop! What are you doing?
Hey.
Hey, get out of here, kid!
No! You get out of here!
Get out!
What'd I say? Watch it!
Come on!
[buzzing sound]
Mason...
What?
Dad! Dad!
Rosie?
What is it?
There's loggers in the back!
What?
I saw them.
Where? Here? Now?
They're destroying the fence!
What happened to your face?
No! Why is he doing that?
It's classic. Come on.
Oh, my god, run, dude.
Listen up, everybody.
I need you to all go home.
A family emergency's come up.
Arron, I need to see you.
What's going on, man?
- You good?
- Dad?
What's going on?
I need your help.
There are loggers in the back
tearing up the place.
What?
What... what are we gonna do?
We're gonna scare them off.
Why can't we just
call the police?
The police work for the city.
The loggers work for the city.
- Dad. Dad.
- Come on, Son, let's go!
Dad! Stop! Okay?
Think!
This is insane!
Dad!
Boots on. Now!
[Cass] What happened?
There's men trespassing
in the back.
Oh, my God.
Your dad need backup?
Doubt it.
[Frank] Arron?
What?
I'm firing the tractor.
Let's go!
Hey, man, are you sure
we shouldn't wait?
No, it's all good.
I'll message.
Good luck, man.
[door closing]
I think we should wait, Arron.
- Cass...?
- No, really.
We'll be okay.
- We've got to go home.
- Okay.
You have my number?
Yeah, I got your number.
I had a great night.
Yeah?
Me too.
[vehicle leaving]
Be careful.
I will.
Okay.
See ya soon.
[door closing]
[tractor approaching]
I love driving
over this rough ground,
especially in the dark.
[idling low]
[turning engine off]
What... what... what... what?
Just in case.
Dad, I... I... I... I don't
like this at...
for one bit.
Dad?
Just... stay there. Wait.
- Dad?
- Don't come any closer.
Is he dead?
Dad! Is he dead?
Yes.
[low buzzing sound]
[Frank] Rosie?
Rosemary!
Daddy!
Something's wrong. B's upset!
[crying]
[Frank] What?
That's... B the Beehive.
Honey...
That's not a beehive.
[Rosemary] It changed!
Rosie, stand back.
Don't stand so close to it.
What is it, Daddy?
Did you know about this, Arron?
No.
Arron?
No.
No!
Arron...
bring the tractor here.
There's a ladder
on the back of it.
Now?
Yes... now.
[tractor engine running]
Stay here.
[low buzzing]
[gasping]
- Daddy?
- Dad?
I'm okay.
Daddy?
Arron, bring the tractor
back to the shed.
Take your sister with you.
Dad! What...
what... what about...?
We'll deal with it.
It's too dark now
to see anything anyway.
Dad!
We have to do something!
Go home with the tractor, Arron.
Take your sister with you.
- Dad, I'm freaking out!
- Go home!
Go!
[Arron] Let's go.
Go home.
[starting tractor engine]
God, this is so messed up.
Are we gonna die?
No.
I had the same feeling
the day at the hospital...
Rosie, just... just stop, okay?
I... everyone needs to think,
and we'll figure this out.
Are you scared?
No.
Tell the truth!
Yes, of course I'm scared.
It's my fault, just say it!
It's not your fault, Rosie.
I know you blame me.
No.
Just like when Mom died.
Don't talk about Mom!
Why?
Why don't you want to
talk to me anymore, Arron?
You used to always talk to me.
I never stopped talking to you.
I...
I stopped talking to everyone.
I'm so scared.
I'm sorry.

[water running]
[knocking]
Dad?
Dad?
9-1-1, what's your emergency?
Uh, hi, we have, uh...
some strange thing
in the back of our property.
Okay, could you give me
a description?
Uh, yes. Like, uh...
Like a giant furry
insect slug thing
wrapped around the tree
in our back property.
Mm-hmm.
Are you calling
from a safe place now?
Are you away from the creature?
Yes.
Is it just you
in your household?
Uh, no, uh...
Uh, me, my dad, and sister.
Did anyone in your family
come in contact
with the creature?
Yes.
Who in your family came
in contact with the creature?
My dad.
Okay, is your dad there?
May we speak to him?
Dad? Dad!
Yeah? Did you call me?
Yeah.
It's 9-1-1.
Hello? Is your father there?
Yes, you're speaking to him.
Sir, I understand
you made contact
with a large hive-like creature
wrapped around a tree?
Hello?
Yes. Yes, that's correct.
- [door closing]
- And you said you're coughing
and feeling flu-like symptoms?
Yes.
All right, sir, I'm just going
to relay this information
to a unit.
One moment, please.
All right, so, I understand that
you are away from your family?
Yes, that's correct.
Right. I understand.
Now, what I'm about to say,
sir, may sound alarming,
but it's important
that at this time
you remain calm
for the safety of yourself,
your family, and the public.
Sir?
Are are you there?

It's Dave.
I just woke up,
and he's... he's not in bed.
I think he's in the shower,
because the shower's running,
but he's not answering me.
Do you think... what...
What if he's had a stroke?
Call 9-1-1.
Just don't know
if I should call the ambulance?
Keep your doors locked, Gene.
Frank?
You take care, now.

Listen to me.
You protect your sister.
Tell me you understand.
[sobbing] Yes.
[coughing and wheezing]
Kiddo...
We have to say goodbye
for a little while, okay?
No, please, Dad?
No...
You listen to your brother now.
If he says "run," you run.
If he says "hide," you hide.
Dad, don't go! Don't go!
[crying]
Tell me you understand.

Tell me you understand.

You're the bravest.
Brave like your mom.
