[John] Houston, ISS is in position.
[Houston] Copy that, Mission
Specialist Rogers is cleared
to engage with the satellite.
[John] Copy, Jake,
you are cleared for EVA.
Houston, leaving airlock
for satellite repair.
(machine beeping)
[John] Your last space
walk before we head home.
Any requests?
I don't know. Surprise me.
[John] Houston, we have a special
long-distance dedication tonight.
This one goes out to Jake
from New York in honor
of our last three days alone in space.
(mellow music)
Houston, this is Jake.
Prepare for visual feed.
[Houston] Copy, Jake,
we have a clear visual.
How long I've waited
Three days, man, sure doesn't feel
like it's been two years.
[John] Yeah, it feels a lot longer.
No offense, but I won't be
missing you as a roommate.
Yeah, I'm digging.
Tell you, though. I'm
gonna miss this view.
That I've been gone
And my love for you
[John] Yeah, it's tough to beat.
[Houston] Okay, gentlemen,
first meal when you get back home?
[Jake] Oh, easy, I'm gonna
murder a hot fudge sundae.
26
[Houston] You're going
straight for dessert?
[Jake] Are you kidding me? Of course.
[Houston] Dr. Kramer, how 'bout you?
[John] A nice fillet (speaking faintly).
(static hissing)
I, I didn't catch that last part.
John, John.
Uh, Houston, this is Rogers.
I've lost contact with John.
[Houston] Specialist
Rogers, Specialist Rogers.
(Houston speaking faintly).
Houston? Houston, over.
[Houston] This, this is an emergency.
(ominous music)
Wait, what do you, what
do you mean an emergency?
I, I, well, what's going on?
(Houston speaking indistinctly)
Houston? Houston, over.
[Houston] Roger (indistinct).
[Jake] Houston. Houston, over.
John, are you there? Houston, anyone?
(pensive music)
(air whooshing)
(bright music)
[Narrator] Life is a series of moments,
like a flowing river, cutting
its path wherever it goes,
churning through sand and gravel
until it meets an immovable object,
and the flow of the
river is altered forever.
Similarly, one moment can
change the course of history.
Three years ago, Red
Friday was that moment,
an invasion that took
millions within seconds
from the womb of chaos or
wars, famine and death.
Ah
[Narrator] While the world
has been marred by destruction,
miraculously, there have
been pockets of the world
that have gone relatively untouched,
providing a haven for today's
greatest minds to think,
ponder, and rebuild
because it's not about race or creed.
It's about working
towards the greater good.
We can only do that together as one.
By supporting Unity, you're
not only improving yourself
but investing in a brighter
future for everyone.
(children laughing)
Unity is security.
Unity is friendship.
Unity is family.
Unity is realizing
it's not just about us.
It's about all of us.
[Narrator] Unity is humankind.
(remote clicking)
Unity, a state of being united
or being joined as a whole.
Without government unity,
we're always vulnerable
to that individual mindset that does
what is right in his own eyes.
Think of a work of art.
Every brushstroke, every color,
even the paint itself
is a piece of the work.
But those individual pieces
serve the masterpiece.
You don't look at that
painting, single out a color,
and say, "Wow, that red is amazing."
Instinctively, you know, the red is there,
but by itself it means nothing.
Only in the context of
how it serves the painting
is there significance.
We're all here for one reason.
We lost something dear
to us on Red Friday.
The aftermath over the last few
years has been unimaginable.
But out of this tragedy,
we have arisen like a phoenix.
By joining Unity, you're
affirming our mission
and committing to helping spread the word.
Membership is easy, just a QR code away.
(attendees applauding)
(attendees chattering indistinctly)
Yeah, um, hey,
I hope to see you soon.
- Yeah, good to see you.
Sorry, excuse me, Wyatt, Wyatt.
I noticed that you
didn't scan the QR code.
Are you on the fence or something?
I don't know.
I think I'm just still in
the dating phase with Unity.
[Zoey] So what's holding you back?
Well, I think there's
a lotta good stuff.
But don't you feel like this
is just kind of like a lot
of just government extension,
just hiding right behind
this private corporation?
I mean, that doesn't bother you at all?
Yeah, government control,
right-wing talking point.
No, I, I didn't go that far.
Okay, well, it's about
safety. That's what it is.
You should talk to Charles.
Mm-hmm.
He explains it much better than I do.
Okay.
(wheels whirring)
(passersby laughing)
(passersby chattering indistinctly)
Great.
(hands smacking)
Good to meet you.
Charles, Charles,
this is my friend Wyatt.
Oh, hi.
[Zoey] He's checking out Unity.
Excellent, good to meet you.
So, um, real quick,
I have this neighbor,
total conspiracy nut.
- Mm-hmm.
She thinks all of this is
about government control,
and she even denies all
(Charles laughs)
Of the facts about the
abductions on Red Friday.
And you're wondering how
to convince the unbeliever
about, uh, Unity?
- Mm-hmm.
- Fair question.
After all, Unity isn't a new idea.
There have been countless people
with the vision over the years.
The committee struggled with Unity
before they met the senator.
- Hmm.
- Vision is fine,
but what you really need is a visionary.
A visionary is looking
out for the greater good.
The enemy is relentless. They never stop.
And neither should we.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Ghosts? Nope.
Wyatt sells insurance,
so he's predisposed
- Oh.
- To being skeptical.
(Charles laughs)
I'd assume that's a, uh,
lucrative business these days.
Can't complain.
Well, why, why don't
you believe in ghosts?
Because they're not real.
[Charles] What if I
told you I'd seen one?
We'd say you were joking.
But I'm not joking.
Okay, I'd think you saw something,
but probably wasn't a ghost.
You're redefining.
Redefining, saw something,
you say a trick of the light perhaps,
a shadow, possibly a hallucination.
Do you think I could ever
convince you you're wrong
and that ghosts exist?
No.
That is a control belief.
Control belief?
Control beliefs, that
small set of core values
that are the least negotiable.
Change the control beliefs,
you change the person.
But if you can't
convince them, how do you,
how do you change the belief?
Well, I didn't say I
could never convince you.
You did.
Sometimes people need creative persuasion.
The last three years have been
unimaginable but connective.
Everybody is, is hurting, scared,
longing to be a part of something bigger.
Use that to be creative
and inform the unbeliever.
(customers chattering indistinctly)
[Employee] All right, I'll
have that ready for you,
and the screen's just gonna
ask you a quick question.
[Customer] Uh-huh, thank you.
[Employee] Thank you, have a good day.
Hey.
Pumpkin spice turmeric latte.
Tell me what you think.
Okay, thank you.
Are you eavesdropping
on that conversation?
What? (scoffs)
No.
Kinda.
You know, we're having a Unity event
at Mr. Diggery's this
afternoon at 4:00 PM.
- No.
- It's a small gathering.
Just, you know, a leadership meeting.
I don't know.
It sounds a little
intimate and uncomfortable.
It sounds like you're my guest,
and it's going to be great.
It sounds like you're
using me for my car.
Okay.
(doors clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
(door squeaking)
Have fun, y'all.
(door clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
- Frank?
- Zoey.
Good to see you.
- Oh, my goodness.
How are you doing?
- Well.
Are you staying for the meeting?
No, I just dropped off some
vegetables from the garden
'cause you all have a pizza night tonight.
I don't think I know
you. I'm Frank Tarkin.
Hey, Frank, Wyatt, nice to meet you.
Frank is the senior executive
of the New Haven chapter of Unity.
So, you know, he's a pretty
big deal around here.
(Frank laughing)
- Yeah.
Yeah, I saw you in the commercial.
(Frank laughs)
So are you checking out Unity?
Yeah.
Well, if Unity is right for you,
then you've gotta check
out the Wellness Ranch.
It's really wonderful,
just a couple miles away.
Yeah, it's beautiful, horseback riding-
- Mm-hmm.
- Relaxation village,
totally zen.
- Mm.
Thanks for the invite.
You're welcome.
Well, I'll let you guys
get to go to your meeting.
Nice to meet you, Wyatt.
- Yeah, same.
- All right.
[Zoey] Good to see you, Frank.
We have a new face today.
I thought maybe we could spend
some time getting acquainted with Wyatt.
And I'd like to go around the room,
say something positive about yourself,
and then say something in five words
to encourage someone else.
My name is Regina.
Um, something positive about myself,
I, I think I'm a pretty good communicator.
Um, people rarely misunderstand
me when I express myself.
[Charles] I can attest to that.
(Charles and Regina laughing)
You are stronger than you think.
My name is Rachel.
Uh, something positive about me is
that I recently had a birthday.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
I think you're extremely intelligent.
I'm Chris.
I'm excited about this
new software program
I've been working on.
It still has a few bugs, but
I'm making major progress, so.
Mia, you're a, you're
a really good friend.
Thanks.
Um, I'm Mia, everyone,
and I really like fixing
people's problems.
Makes me feel good.
Zoey, you have tremendous inner courage.
Hi, everyone, I'm Zoey.
Um, as you already know, I love movies,
and name anything, I can quote from it.
You make people feel safe.
Hi, everyone, I'm Wyatt. (laughs)
Um, let's see, okay, something positive.
Um, it's great to be here.
And, uh, Charles,
you seem extremely well read.
Thank you.
Let's have an open forum.
Wyatt, just so you know,
this is a time of discussion
with complete transparency.
Nothing is off limits.
Anyone can speak or
stay quiet and observe.
It's up to them.
Anyone wanna start?
Rachel, what's your worst fear?
Not living here in New Haven.
Care to expand on that?
There's a lotta crazy out there.
It, it still feels somewhat normal here.
Chris, you have a terrible
secret from your past.
Do you share it with anyone
or keep it to yourself?
Oh, I think it's irrelevant.
I don't dwell on the past
because I don't want the past to find me.
I learn from it, and then I move forward.
But then again, in that sense,
hasn't the past defined you
because you have learned from
it, and it's changed you,
and you're a new version
of Chris in the present
and then into the future,
and I don't know, thus
being defined by your past?
Well, I think that, by
refusing to be defined by it,
you don't get stuck in the past.
You know, that way you can just move on
and not beat yourself up all
the time living with guilt.
Is that about right?
Yeah, that's, that's
more along the lines
of what I was trying to say.
Only you said it better, so well done.
I think that, um, you know,
some, sometimes the past doesn't
exactly stay in the past.
Explain.
You know, the, the past
can be obstinate, you know.
It doesn't wanna be ignored.
And, um, you have to be careful
of what you bury back there.
I sense there's more to that story.
Stay outta my life.
Those are my last words.
Uh, me and my dad were
having a discussion,
and it was really more of an
argument just like always.
I felt like he was constantly choking me,
and I wasn't free to
make my own decisions.
So naturally, I just lashed out,
and that was it.
I stormed out telling him
that he couldn't be
involved in my life anymore.
Two weeks later, they disappeared.
And, um, those are my last words.
So you regret what you said?
It's more than that.
I have a feeling that
whatever happened that day
isn't done with me yet.
I think the past is gonna
come back with a vengeance,
and I won't necessarily
be able to move on.
Wyatt, that's negative self-talk.
Don't do that to yourself.
You deserve better.
That's honest. It's real.
That's what we're about here.
(Wyatt exhales)
(water sloshing)
(cup clanking)
Do you mind, Wyatt?
[Wyatt] Oh, yeah, I got you.
(pitcher clanking)
Mm.
Thank you.
- There you go.
(cup clanking)
(water sloshing)
(utensil clanging)
(footsteps plodding)
Oh, hey, uh, you got a second?
- Yeah.
- I need your help.
- Excuse me.
- I got you.
(crickets chirping)
Here, here, I'll get it for you.
- Thank you.
- Yep.
(bags clattering)
That's a bag.
- Hmm, weird.
- What?
The neighbor, he's just
sitting over there staring at us.
Yeah, that's weird.
[Zoey] Totally get a strange
Stepford vibe from him.
Oh, yeah, is he still looking over here?
Yep.
(plastic rustling)
Now he's coming toward us.
[Wyatt] Let's, let's get back inside.
(Zoey sighs)
(footsteps plodding)
I, uh, really appreciate you hanging out
with us tonight. (laughs)
- Oh, it was
no problem.
- I'm really glad you came.
I hope you enjoyed Regina's pizza.
It's a family recipe.
Oh, yeah, pizza was solid, thanks.
- Yeah.
- How 'bout you?
You glad you came?
Yeah, of course.
I, uh, I have to confess,
I like the way you think.
You're an out-of-the-box kinda guy.
You speak with bravery,
almost, almost fearless.
No, I wouldn't say fearless.
I would.
I want you to tap into
that, accentuate it.
I think it'll serve you well.
I think it'll serve us well.
I think you have a future at Unity.
I can't say that about
everybody, but then again,
leadership is as innate
as it is learned, huh?
Hmm, you think I'd be a good leader?
I know you would, a great leader.
My fingers are freezing. (sighs)
I did this.
(metal squeaking)
It gets colder and colder.
Must a storm on its way.
So what in the world?
(Frank sighs)
(urine pattering)
(Frank whistling)
(ominous music)
(light buzzing)
(Frank whistling)
(light continues buzzing)
(Frank sniffs)
(items clattering)
(gravel crunching)
(woman screaming)
(creature roaring)
(suspenseful music)
(creature growling)
(horse neighing)
(suspenseful music continues)
(creature growling)
(woman screaming)
Daisy?
(horse neighing)
(person grunting)
(body thudding)
(creature growling)
(woman screaming)
(creature roaring)
(creature growling)
(suspenseful music continues)
(gravel crunching)
(doors rasping and clattering)
Susan?
(creature growling)
Susan?
Susan, open the door.
Susan, open the door.
Susan.
(Frank groaning)
(screaming) Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan.
(crickets chirping)
[Zoey] What you thinking?
What's on your mind?
Uh, Charles just mentioned
that if he thinks I'd make a great leader.
I just don't see it.
Well, that's a negative comment.
And I ask that the court
(Wyatt laughs)
Strike it from the record.
- Consider it struck.
- Where's your car?
(brooding music)
- What was that?
- What?
(item clattering)
(creature roaring)
(Zoey screaming)
(car clattering)
(Zoey coughing)
Okay, okay, I got you. I got you.
- Yeah.
- Here we go.
- You okay?
- Hey.
- Okay.
- Hey.
Are you guys okay?
Yeah, my car just got
tossed down the road.
Yeah, I saw, I saw that.
(car alarm blaring)
We've been getting a lotta calls
of disturbances in the area.
I, I'm with the safety rescue team.
We should get you guys inside.
Okay, okay.
Dispatch, this is Unit 3079.
Cell service is dead.
Dispatch, this is Unit 3079.
(wings fluttering)
(pensive music)
(switch clicking)
Dispatch, if you can hear me,
there is something in sector four.
(dramatic music)
(guard screaming)
Come on.
(guard screaming)
Guys, you okay?
- Something's here.
- Something's definitely here.
Yeah, everywhere.
[Zoey] It just took the security card.
- You have a gun?
- Of course not.
It's against Unity ordinance.
Thought those were more
like guidelines than rules.
Why, do you?
Uh, not on me.
It's gonna be okay. Just stay calm.
- So what do we do?
- We stay put.
I can't. My, my little
sister's home alone.
There's a great chance
that your car's not even
out there, at least not in one piece.
Yeah, mine got thrown down the street.
It threw your car?
What are these things?
I don't know. They're
definitely not human.
Aliens, it, it started
with those mass abductions
on Red Friday, and, and now
they're back to take over.
Charles, we just stay here?
I just need, I need to think.
We're sitting ducks in here.
Inside we're definitely
safer than outside.
They can flip a car but
can't get inside a house?
I don't know, Chris, new situation here.
I knew we should've put
in that bunker, Charles.
Shut up, everyone, please.
I just need time to think.
I, I'm willing to go out there
and see if my car is still here.
If it is, I can bring it around,
and we can get on the road.
[Mia] We need to get home.
We stay put.
(item thudding)
(suspenseful music)
(house smashing)
(members screaming)
Be careful.
(footsteps plodding)
(dramatic music continues)
(creature growling)
(suspenseful music)
(creature growling)
(creature hissing)
(woman screaming)
(floor creaking)
(body thudding)
(dramatic music)
(Regina screaming)
Help, help me.
Regina.
Wyatt, help me.
Regina.
(Regina screaming)
(body thudding)
(Regina continues screaming)
(glass shattering)
(Wyatt exhales)
You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
What about Zoey and Rachel?
I think the girls went downstairs.
Regina?
That thing took her
out the bedroom window.
We need to find the girls. Come on.
(ominous music)
(footsteps plodding)
Girls.
Rachel, Zoey.
(footsteps plodding)
Rachel.
Zoey.
(item thudding)
(item clanging)
(suspenseful music)
(door squeaking)
Rachel, Rachel, Rachel,
it's us. Are you okay?
What happened?
I don't wanna die.
Rachel, where is Zoey?
- Rachel.
- Yeah, hey, hey.
Are you okay?
Hey, Rachel.
Do you know what happened to Zoey?
Rachel, what happened to Zoey?
She's gone.
What do you mean?
[Rachel] It took her.
Took her where?
Outside.
I'm going out there.
Wyatt, you can't go out there.
Your wife is out there.
Zoey's out there.
- And they are both dead.
You don't know that.
As sad as it is to say, it's
a reality we have to accept.
We must stay together. We
need to keep this group alive.
- Just stay, man.
- Please, don't go, Wyatt.
I'm going out there to look.
(footsteps plodding)
(Wyatt breathing heavily)
(door creaking)
(dramatic music)
(creature roaring)
Go, go, go, go.
(door clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
Sh, sh, sh, sh.
(footsteps plodding)
(suspenseful music)
(creature snorting)
(knife clanging)
Oh, hey, hey, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.
- Just let me go.
- You can't go, man.
- Let go.
- You can't.
Give it to me, give it to me.
Just let me do it.
(Wyatt and Chris grunting)
I don't wanna die.
- None of us do.
- Then we have to fight.
You can't fight alien
scorpions with a kitchen knife.
It's not how you survive.
Wyatt is right, Chris.
Hey, I don't think I hear it.
Okay, stay here. I'll go look.
I'll be right back.
(dramatic music)
(Rachel screaming)
Go, go, go, go.
Go.
(flesh squelching)
Zoey.
Zoey, hey, hey, you okay?
Come here, come here.
It's okay, it's okay.
Come here, come here.
(Zoey whimpering)
(creature growling)
Hey, hey.
Run.
Go, go.
(dramatic music continues)
(Wyatt grunting)
(Zoey groaning)
(footsteps thudding)
(creature screeching)
Easy.
(creature screeching)
You okay?
- Uh-huh, okay, uh-huh.
[Wyatt] Let's move.
(feet shuffling)
(crickets chirping)
Okay.
(creature trilling)
Okay.
(feet shuffling)
(suspenseful music)
(creature snorting)
(creature trilling)
Okay.
(creature growling)
(suspenseful music continues)
This way, this way, this way.
(creature screeching)
(creature growling)
(Wyatt and Zoey laughing)
It's okay, it's okay.
(dog barking)
(Zoey sighs)
(scissors clanking)
(Zoey groaning)
You're free to go if you
want, but you're safe here.
(groans) Safe?
Do you have any idea what's out there?
Who are you?
My name is Marcus, Marcus Bachar.
Why are we safe here?
Yeah, it might be a
little difficult to explain.
You know what these
things are, don't you?
(mug thudding)
Why don't we start with you
guys telling me what you saw?
It's easy.
It's our worst nightmares come to life.
You believe that as well?
That's what it looks like.
I mean, first, they just,
they started taking
people, but now they're-
- They're ticked.
- They're ticked.
And the fifth angel blew its trumpet,
and I saw a star fallen
from heaven to earth,
and he was given the key to the
shaft of the bottomless pit.
He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit,
and out of the pit came
smoke like the smoke
of a great furnace.
(pensive music)
And the sun and the air were dark,
and from the smoke of the shaft,
and then from the smoke
came locust upon the earth.
And they were given power like the power
of scorpions of the earth.
What's that, a Stephen King novel?
Revelation 9.
[Wyatt] So you think this is just
a big Bible story come to life?
That's exactly what they are.
Locusts, you think
locusts did this to me?
You saw what was out there.
I'm not talking about
your run-of-the-mill insects
that buzz around your
porch light in the summer,
supernatural beings in
human form, hair, clothes.
But these abominations
are born out of the abyss
with teeth sharp as knives,
chests of iron, tails like scorpions.
Still sounds like Stephen King to me.
This isn't fiction.
This is the very word of God.
Fairytales.
Have you ever heard of a paradigm shift?
What if I told you I once paid a man
and asked him to stick
needles in my wife's face
while I held her down?
Come on, Wyatt, let's go.
You think that would be evil?
- Yeah, just a little.
- You sure about that?
What if I told you my wife
cut her tongue so badly
that she was bleeding to death,
and the man I paid was a doctor
who had no time for anesthesia,
so he had to stitch her
tongue while I held her down
to prevent her from moving.
Change your perspective?
What looked and sounded so evil
quite literally saved a life.
So you don't, you don't
think these things are evil?
I'm not saying that.
What I'm saying is it's
quite possible to be wrong
about what you absolutely think you know.
And what makes you so sure
that you're not the one who's wrong?
I'm not the one in bandages.
If you have some sort of
solution, I'd love to hear it.
I can help you with that.
Does it involve another Bible story?
Yeah, we're good.
Thanks for the tea.
Thanks for the bandages.
I think we're gonna take our chances.
Wyatt, don't go back out there.
Thanks, but I'm not
just gonna sit around
reading books while my
friends are out there dying.
Wyatt, they're not dead.
Trust me.
If you want me to, I can take you there.
I can...
(latch clicking)
(pensive music continues)
I gotta get something from the car.
But your car's in pieces.
Uh.
(floor creaking)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
Mia, are you okay?
Charles, Mia, we gotta go.
We gotta get you downstairs.
Okay, yeah, this way.
(Mia speaking indistinctly)
Get over this way.
(dramatic music)
Rachel.
You'll get yourself shot.
(match cracking)
(flame hissing)
(hands thudding)
[Zoey] What happened?
We, uh, we, we made
our way down the street,
but they were all over,
at, at least 30 of 'em,
and they surrounded us.
That, that's when Chris
drew their attention,
and I hid in a shed.
The things they did to
him, how they hurt him,
I'll never be able to unsee.
I don't know how he's still alive.
It's okay. It's okay.
Hey, we're gonna get through this.
(Zoey sighs)
How you holding up?
Eh.
You're not a very good liar.
What's on your mind?
Did you lose anyone
these last three years?
I don't know
Foster kid as long as I can remember.
People don't realize this,
but loneliness is underrated.
Oh, Zoey, I'm sorry.
That's okay.
(sighs) I got that last line from a movie.
So why'd you join Unity?
I finally found a family.
Can, can I ask you personal question?
A personal question?
(Zoey laughs)
Yeah, I guess so.
The last time you saw your dad,
what did he want you to do differently?
What do you mean?
Well, you said that you wanted
to make your own decisions.
So I figured that your dad
wanted you to be an accountant
or something, and you wanted
to go be a struggling artist.
Yeah, I wish our family
dynamic was that simple.
But, um, that's the past.
Right.
And what we need to do today
is think about the present and the future.
Yeah.
(pensive music)
Zoey, what do you think
happens when we die?
I don't know.
Uh, I guess just never
really given it much thought.
Maybe, maybe nothing happens.
Maybe we come back. Maybe we don't.
I, I don't know.
Based off tonight, might be
worth giving it some thought.
(Zoey and Wyatt laughing)
Yeah, he just used to
ask me that question.
- Who?
- My dad.
And we'd get to talking about it.
He'd say, "Hey, Wyatt, if you don't know
where you're gonna go
when you die, don't die."
But I don't know why he
used to bother me so much.
Just (laughs) I mean, he
was never pressing me.
He was never accusing me of anything.
He was always asking with care,
but it always just got under my skin.
Wyatt, that's the past.
- Yeah.
- Don't let it haunt you.
I know.
I just think about how I responded.
It was so wrong. (laughs)
I mean, he always just
asked with such love.
You know, looking back
now, it does remind me
of the neighbor next door.
I don't know about your
dad, but the neighbor's crazy.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, maybe, like maybe he's not?
Well, how can we be so sure?
Uh, we can be sure
because we heard the words
coming out of his mouth.
Angels blowing trumpets and
smoke coming up from a pit,
you really think he's being serious?
Remember that thing he
said about being wrong
about what we think we know?
I mean, what, what if
what we saw wasn't aliens?
What are they if they're not aliens?
I don't know.
I mean, but he mentioned angels.
So wouldn't it just stand a reason
that the opposite also exists?
What, demons?
Yeah.
(ominous music)
Okay, I'm a fan of "The Exorcist,"
but it's fiction.
Thought that was based on a true story.
- It's just a movie.
- Oh.
I mean, but why can't they be demons?
I have no idea what I
believe right now, Zoey.
But whatever I saw out there
I've never seen before in my entire life.
And there's just gotta be some
other plausible explanation.
Why?
The government has all sorts
of data on this alien stuff,
documented facts.
That's the plausible explanation.
I know. You're right, you're right.
But what if the government got it wrong?
Or better yet, what if they're lying?
(pensive music)
I keep replaying the
whole thing in my mind.
And I, I don't know why they
went after Chris and not me.
(Rachel laughs)
- Hi.
- Hey.
[Zoey] Yeah. (grunts)
What is that?
I found this in the fridge.
I figured, if I'm gonna die tonight,
I might as well die eating chocolate cake.
What if I die? Do I get chocolate cake?
- Sure.
- Okay.
(Zoey laughing)
Mm-hmm, but just that,
I'm not giving you anymore.
Okay, the rest can be for you.
(fork and plate clanking)
How are you feeling?
Oh, bit banged up, but I'm fine.
Noticed you got one right here, too,
like on your cheek and then your neck.
I know.
How far did you get
dragged down the street?
I don't even know.
- Far enough?
- Mm-hmm. (laughs)
(Wyatt laughs)
I'm sorry. It's not funny.
(both laughing)
Well,
only four more hours until sunrise.
Mm-hmm.
I checked. We still don't
have any cell service.
Thanks for coming back for me.
(gentle music)
Of course.
- Fall disclosure.
- Mm-hmm.
And I'm only telling you this
because there's a great chance
that we might not see that sunrise.
Um, I had ulterior motives
for inviting you to the group.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
So the truth is coming
out now?
- Yeah.
I wanted to hang out with you.
And all those times that
I showed up accidentally
to the coffee shop, it
was like six times a week.
(Zoey laughing)
Well, you know, don't get me wrong.
I would've much preferred you take me out
to some fancy restaurant
over the killer monsters.
Oh, I don't know any fancy restaurants.
- Oh.
- Sorry.
(Zoey exhales)
(Wyatt laughs)
How's sushi?
- Ah, it's my favorite.
- Mm.
[Chris] Wyatt?
Wyatt, can you come here for a sec?
- Yeah.
- I'll be right back.
Okay.
Why was I spared? I, I'm not special.
I think some people
make the world special
just by being in it.
Yeah.
I need you to promise me something.
What is it?
Do you remember the Unity
workshop words of affirmation?
Yeah.
- This chapter-
- This chapter.
In my life is called
(pensive music)
Knowing my Worth and Acting Accordingly,
no more settling for less.
I, I know what I deserve.
Exactly.
If those things come
back, I'm dead weight,
and I, I can't go through that again.
We're gonna get you outta here, Chris.
No.
If they come back, I, I,
I need you to help me.
What are you talking about?
You were spared because you are special.
No one can take that away from you.
Try repeating the words of
affirmation to yourself.
Just meditate on it and let it sink in.
Yeah.
Look at me, man.
Look at what they did to me.
I can't go through that again.
Chris, I'm not gonna do that.
This chapter in my life is called
Knowing My Worth and Acting Accordingly,
no more settling for less.
Please, just, just
promise me we'll do it.
Promise me. Promise me.
I know what I deserve.
(creature growling)
(ominous music)
(Rachel screaming)
(glass shattering)
Chris, let's go. Get up.
Over here, come on. Here we go.
(all yelling indistinctly)
(item thudding)
(Mia screaming)
Hurry up.
[Mia] Where do we go? Where do we go?
(creature roaring)
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
[Zoey] Come on.
(Mia grunts)
[Charles] Come on. Come on.
[Zoey] Come on.
Sit down. Sit down.
Come on, Chris.
(creature screeching)
(blood squelching)
(Charles groaning)
Chris, Chris, get up, get up.
Chris, you gotta get up.
- No.
- Gotta get up.
No. (grunts)
(gun clanking)
Do it.
- Chris
- Do it.
- What are you doing?
Do it for me.
(creature growling)
Just do it.
Chris, you gotta get up.
Get up. Come on.
(creature roaring)
(gunshots blasting)
(arm thudding)
(creature roaring)
(foot thudding)
(Wyatt grunting)
(gun clanging)
(Wyatt gasping)
That won't help you.
(Wyatt gasping)
Is this the part where
you tell me I told you so?
Let's get you back to the house.
Not without them.
(hands smacking)
(Wyatt grunting)
(pensive music)
(foot thudding)
(creature growling)
(creature continues growling)
(air whooshing)
(pensive music continues)
(floor creaking)
Will they live?
Wyatt, I-
The guy who has all the answers
suddenly doesn't have anything to say?
I was only gonna say
I don't know the extent of their injuries.
But you know what these things can do.
You know what they are, don't you?
So I'm gonna ask you
again, will they live?
Yes.
Why? Why do you believe that?
Revelation 9.
Marcus, would you give
me a straight answer?
Wyatt, that is a straight answer.
Look, if you were having a
problem with your computer,
what would you do?
You wouldn't just rip the back off
and start hitting it with a hammer.
What would you do?
Come on, Wyatt. You seem like a smart guy.
- Okay, I-
- What would you do?
I'd look at the owner's manual.
The owner's manual, that's right.
Would you ever argue with the manual?
Would you ever think you can't
believe what the manual says?
If the manual says
something, you do it.
- Okay, okay.
Yes, I get it. The Bible's
the owner's manual.
Where, where do we go from here?
You can't hear unless
you're ready to listen.
What?
My dad used to say that.
Smart man.
(crickets chirping)
Why weren't you taken on Red Friday?
I mean, you're a Bible guy.
I wasn't then.
[Wyatt] What happened there?
I was just like you, man.
I'd heard the truth.
I hadn't listened to it.
She tried her best,
sat here at this table every morning,
reading and praying.
Then she was gone.
Outta desperation, I
decided to read the Bible,
and it changed me, changed my life, man.
Hmm, well, if Bible
reading didn't convince you,
then these locusts should.
It's all real. It's all foretold.
And so my parents and my brothers,
they weren't actually taken?
They were taken by Christ,
which means that they're not dead?
Quite the contrary,
they're more alive now
than they've ever been.
But these locusts,
they, they can't harm you,
so that's how you rescued us?
I'm a follower of Christ, so
I'm sealed, protected by him.
Maybe that's why the
creatures don't stay
at the Diggery house.
Maybe they see you coming
and they just take off,
go somewhere else.
And maybe they're scared of you.
The beasts don't fear the sheep, Wyatt.
They fear the shepherd.
In Revelations, these creatures
can't kill the unbeliever,
but they can inflict enough pain
and torment that you'll
wish you were dead.
It's as if Death took a holiday.
That means that Regina
and Rachel are still alive.
Marcus, we gotta go find 'em.
[Charles] I don't think
that's a very good idea.
Charles.
(chair clattering)
(Charles grunts)
How you doing?
- I've been better.
So you don't want us to
find your wife or Rachel?
I didn't say I don't
want you to find them.
I'm saying that right now with
those things running around
I don't think it'd be very smart.
[Marcus] I'd go with him.
Yeah, I appreciate your input there.
I'd go with Wyatt.
I get it that these
things haven't hurt you yet.
But your time's coming.
You don't know what you're dealing with.
Listen, we're, we're
all on the same page here.
We, we believe the same thing.
Your Jesus, he talked about,
he talked about oneness.
He talked about unity, didn't he?
He, he said that they all may
be one even as we are one.
Didn't he say that? Well, we believe that.
So we're, we're followers
of Jesus's teaching.
Christ's main teaching was
about who he is, not only just-
Charles, Charles.
Oh, Mia.
- Are you all right?
- Oh, my dear friend.
We are okay.
- You okay?
- All right?
[Mia] Yeah.
We're gonna find your wife.
We're gonna find Rachel.
If they're still alive.
Yeah.
You don't know that, Wyatt.
You're gonna go out there
and put yourself at risk,
put us all at risk based on a maybe?
We got lucky. We're still alive, Wyatt.
Let's not chance fate.
I did it for you. I'm
gonna do the same for them.
(scoffs) Do you hear
how foolish you sound?
Should he have left us behind?
What?
When I rescued Wyatt,
he begged me not to
leave you guys out there.
Doesn't your wife deserve the same?
Yeah, she does.
(crickets chirping)
(dogs barking)
Rachel.
Rachel?
(Rachel groaning)
Hey, you okay?
Okay, she's hurt, she's hurt.
[Marcus] Help me get her up.
- Okay.
- Careful.
Careful.
- Easy, easy, easy,
easy, easy, easy, here we go.
Easy, okay.
Okay.
(Rachel groaning)
(latch clicking)
Careful, here she is.
- Yeah, okay.
- You got it.
Okay, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Sorry, it's gonna be okay.
One more.
One more.
(pensive music)
[Zoey] This way, we're
gonna sit you down, okay?
(door clattering)
Let's get you to the couch.
Regina.
Regina.
Regina.
(item rumbling)
Marcus.
(creature trilling)
Marcus.
(creature growling)
(hand thudding)
(dramatic music)
(Wyatt grunting)
(creature screeching)
(Wyatt grunting)
I think the past is gonna
come back with a vengeance.
(energy pulsating)
(fire crackling)
[Marcus] It's quite possible to be wrong
about what you absolutely think you know.
So what do you think
happens when we die?
(glass shattering)
Go, go.
[Charles] Change the control beliefs,
you change the person.
[Wyatt] Chris, Chris.
(Chris groaning)
Do it. Just do it.
[Marcus] I'm a follow
of Christ, so I'm sealed,
protected by it.
[Wyatt] And what makes you so sure
that you're not who's wrong?
We must stay together.
We need to keep this group alive.
Wyatt, help me.
[Marcus] Come on, Wyatt.
You seem like a smart guy.
[Wyatt] Would you give
me a straight answer?
You can't hear unless
you're ready to listen.
[Wyatt] My dad used to say that.
(creature growling)
(dramatic music continues)
(body thudding)
(creature trilling)
(Wyatt gasping)
It's been 40 minutes.
I knew it was a bad
idea to go out there.
Everywhere you look,
you can see the damage
these things can do.
Not Marcus.
Okay, we got her,
safe, safe, safe, safe.
- You got her.
- Good.
- Oh, Regina.
- We just got her.
Here she is.
- Yeah.
Here I can, I can take her.
[Wyatt] Okay.
I got you. I got you.
There are definitely
fewer of 'em out there now.
They took her about a half mile away.
- Maybe they're leaving.
- Yeah.
I think you're right.
(page rustling)
(footsteps plodding)
(hand thudding)
(Wyatt sighs)
So what's next?
(Bible rasping)
You okay?
Yeah.
Rest a bit.
I'll go sit with everyone for a while.
(chair clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
(pensive music)
(Wyatt exhales)
(Zoey sighs)
(pensive music continues)
(birds chirping)
(Mia sighs)
(phones ringing and buzzing)
Oh, cell service is back.
- How you doing?
- What?
(Mia exhales)
Oh, finally.
Okay, oh.
(phone ringing)
(Regina speaking faintly)
(urgent news music)
[Reporter] Authorities
are still trying to figure
what caused the unprecedented
series of events
that unfolded last night.
Mysterious creatures attack cities,
leaving authorities and
citizens bewildered in concern.
- Okay.
- Authorities and scientists
are struggling to comprehend the origin
and nature of these creatures.
- So you okay?
- Initial investigations-
- Yeah.
- Suggest
that they may have been
an entirely other species
or even extraterrestrial beings.
The motive behind these
attacks is still unclear,
as there have been no discernible patterns
or targeted areas.
As the situation-
- You ready?
- Continues to unfold,
we urge everyone to please stay tuned
to reliable sources of information
for the latest updates.
- Yeah, ready?
- We'll bring you
continuous coverage-
Can get up?
[Reporter] of these events
as we receive more information.
Thank you.
It's not over.
They'll be back.
I know.
(birds chirping)
Okay, everyone.
I think we need to start
gathering some supplies
for the move.
What move?
Next door with Marcus.
Wyatt, you're not in charge here.
We're not going back next door.
Why do you even wanna
go back over there?
Because it's safe.
We're safe here.
Yeah, you heard the announcement.
Those things are gone now.
Come on, Wyatt.
You gotta admit there's no
real need to go back over.
We're, we're all, we're all fine.
[Mia] Yeah, we're fine.
(Wyatt laughs)
Are you guys serious?
They're coming back.
Come on, Wyatt. That's just negative.
[Wyatt] No, no, it's not negative.
- Wyatt.
- It's the truth.
Stop.
I don't know if you guys
have been keeping score,
but so far it's monsters five, Unity zero.
And if it wasn't for Marcus,
we wouldn't still be here.
Wyatt, that's enough.
(tense music)
Enough, no one's going anywhere
You're afraid.
I'm not afraid of anything.
And that right there
spoken like a true coward.
- Enough.
- Charles.
Charles.
- Charles.
It'll be over your dead body.
Charles, you gotta do what you gotta do.
But I am not staying here,
and neither should any of you.
Oh, you don't think
I'll do it, do ya, huh?
How 'bout this?
- Charles, what are you doing?
[Regina] Stop it.
You leave over my dead body.
Charles, sweetheart, please.
What it you doing?
- Huh?
I have your attention now, huh?
Hey, I have an idea.
Let's go together, yeah.
One for you-
Charles.
And one for me, hmm?
Huh?
- Stop it.
[Charles] Yeah.
- This is not the way-
- don't do this.
- It's done, Charles.
- Stop.
Come on.
- Restaurant it.
- Yeah.
[Wyatt] Not the way to do it, Charles.
[Regina] Don't do it.
Charles, stop it.
(Charles whimpering)
(pensive music)
(gun clattering)
(Charles sobbing)
(gun clanking)
Wyatt, listen to me.
(gentle music)
You're forgetting about
us, the bond that we have.
I'm with you.
It's all clear now.
Charles is a coward.
That's why he's not fit to lead anybody.
There's strength in sticking together.
There's strength in unity.
This movement needs someone
who really believes that it works.
After watching all of
that, I, I can see it.
I can feel it.
I know how to make this work.
Zoey, I'm sorry, but
I'm not staying here.
Wyatt, Wyatt.
Wyatt, stay with me.
Please.
Zoey, you were right.
It is clear.
And it's, it's all true, all of it.
The neighbor?
My parents, my dad,
Marcus only confirmed that he was right.
I was just too stupid-
- Wyatt.
- To even see.
I didn't want them to be right.
Wyatt, remember the
picture, the painting?
The colors aren't special by themselves
but only as they serve the painting.
Zoey.
I wanna meet the artist.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music continues)
(Zoey sighs)
(Zoey exhales)
(footsteps plodding)

[John] Houston, ISS is in position.
[Houston] Copy that, Mission
Specialist Rogers is cleared
to engage with the satellite.
[John] Copy, Jake,
you are cleared for EVA.
Houston, leaving airlock
for satellite repair.
(machine beeping)
[John] Your last space
walk before we head home.
Any requests?
I don't know. Surprise me.
[John] Houston, we have a special
long-distance dedication tonight.
This one goes out to Jake
from New York in honor
of our last three days alone in space.
(mellow music)
Houston, this is Jake.
Prepare for visual feed.
[Houston] Copy, Jake,
we have a clear visual.
How long I've waited
Three days, man, sure doesn't feel
like it's been two years.
[John] Yeah, it feels a lot longer.
No offense, but I won't be
missing you as a roommate.
Yeah, I'm digging.
Tell you, though. I'm
gonna miss this view.
That I've been gone
And my love for you
[John] Yeah, it's tough to beat.
[Houston] Okay, gentlemen,
first meal when you get back home?
[Jake] Oh, easy, I'm gonna
murder a hot fudge sundae.
26
[Houston] You're going
straight for dessert?
[Jake] Are you kidding me? Of course.
[Houston] Dr. Kramer, how 'bout you?
[John] A nice fillet (speaking faintly).
(static hissing)
I, I didn't catch that last part.
John, John.
Uh, Houston, this is Rogers.
I've lost contact with John.
[Houston] Specialist
Rogers, Specialist Rogers.
(Houston speaking faintly).
Houston? Houston, over.
[Houston] This, this is an emergency.
(ominous music)
Wait, what do you, what
do you mean an emergency?
I, I, well, what's going on?
(Houston speaking indistinctly)
Houston? Houston, over.
[Houston] Roger (indistinct).
[Jake] Houston. Houston, over.
John, are you there? Houston, anyone?
(pensive music)
(air whooshing)
(bright music)
[Narrator] Life is a series of moments,
like a flowing river, cutting
its path wherever it goes,
churning through sand and gravel
until it meets an immovable object,
and the flow of the
river is altered forever.
Similarly, one moment can
change the course of history.
Three years ago, Red
Friday was that moment,
an invasion that took
millions within seconds
from the womb of chaos or
wars, famine and death.
Ah
[Narrator] While the world
has been marred by destruction,
miraculously, there have
been pockets of the world
that have gone relatively untouched,
providing a haven for today's
greatest minds to think,
ponder, and rebuild
because it's not about race or creed.
It's about working
towards the greater good.
We can only do that together as one.
By supporting Unity, you're
not only improving yourself
but investing in a brighter
future for everyone.
(children laughing)
Unity is security.
Unity is friendship.
Unity is family.
Unity is realizing
it's not just about us.
It's about all of us.
[Narrator] Unity is humankind.
(remote clicking)
Unity, a state of being united
or being joined as a whole.
Without government unity,
we're always vulnerable
to that individual mindset that does
what is right in his own eyes.
Think of a work of art.
Every brushstroke, every color,
even the paint itself
is a piece of the work.
But those individual pieces
serve the masterpiece.
You don't look at that
painting, single out a color,
and say, "Wow, that red is amazing."
Instinctively, you know, the red is there,
but by itself it means nothing.
Only in the context of
how it serves the painting
is there significance.
We're all here for one reason.
We lost something dear
to us on Red Friday.
The aftermath over the last few
years has been unimaginable.
But out of this tragedy,
we have arisen like a phoenix.
By joining Unity, you're
affirming our mission
and committing to helping spread the word.
Membership is easy, just a QR code away.
(attendees applauding)
(attendees chattering indistinctly)
Yeah, um, hey,
I hope to see you soon.
- Yeah, good to see you.
Sorry, excuse me, Wyatt, Wyatt.
I noticed that you
didn't scan the QR code.
Are you on the fence or something?
I don't know.
I think I'm just still in
the dating phase with Unity.
[Zoey] So what's holding you back?
Well, I think there's
a lotta good stuff.
But don't you feel like this
is just kind of like a lot
of just government extension,
just hiding right behind
this private corporation?
I mean, that doesn't bother you at all?
Yeah, government control,
right-wing talking point.
No, I, I didn't go that far.
Okay, well, it's about
safety. That's what it is.
You should talk to Charles.
Mm-hmm.
He explains it much better than I do.
Okay.
(wheels whirring)
(passersby laughing)
(passersby chattering indistinctly)
Great.
(hands smacking)
Good to meet you.
Charles, Charles,
this is my friend Wyatt.
Oh, hi.
[Zoey] He's checking out Unity.
Excellent, good to meet you.
So, um, real quick,
I have this neighbor,
total conspiracy nut.
- Mm-hmm.
She thinks all of this is
about government control,
and she even denies all
(Charles laughs)
Of the facts about the
abductions on Red Friday.
And you're wondering how
to convince the unbeliever
about, uh, Unity?
- Mm-hmm.
- Fair question.
After all, Unity isn't a new idea.
There have been countless people
with the vision over the years.
The committee struggled with Unity
before they met the senator.
- Hmm.
- Vision is fine,
but what you really need is a visionary.
A visionary is looking
out for the greater good.
The enemy is relentless. They never stop.
And neither should we.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Ghosts? Nope.
Wyatt sells insurance,
so he's predisposed
- Oh.
- To being skeptical.
(Charles laughs)
I'd assume that's a, uh,
lucrative business these days.
Can't complain.
Well, why, why don't
you believe in ghosts?
Because they're not real.
[Charles] What if I
told you I'd seen one?
We'd say you were joking.
But I'm not joking.
Okay, I'd think you saw something,
but probably wasn't a ghost.
You're redefining.
Redefining, saw something,
you say a trick of the light perhaps,
a shadow, possibly a hallucination.
Do you think I could ever
convince you you're wrong
and that ghosts exist?
No.
That is a control belief.
Control belief?
Control beliefs, that
small set of core values
that are the least negotiable.
Change the control beliefs,
you change the person.
But if you can't
convince them, how do you,
how do you change the belief?
Well, I didn't say I
could never convince you.
You did.
Sometimes people need creative persuasion.
The last three years have been
unimaginable but connective.
Everybody is, is hurting, scared,
longing to be a part of something bigger.
Use that to be creative
and inform the unbeliever.
(customers chattering indistinctly)
[Employee] All right, I'll
have that ready for you,
and the screen's just gonna
ask you a quick question.
[Customer] Uh-huh, thank you.
[Employee] Thank you, have a good day.
Hey.
Pumpkin spice turmeric latte.
Tell me what you think.
Okay, thank you.
Are you eavesdropping
on that conversation?
What? (scoffs)
No.
Kinda.
You know, we're having a Unity event
at Mr. Diggery's this
afternoon at 4:00 PM.
- No.
- It's a small gathering.
Just, you know, a leadership meeting.
I don't know.
It sounds a little
intimate and uncomfortable.
It sounds like you're my guest,
and it's going to be great.
It sounds like you're
using me for my car.
Okay.
(doors clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
(door squeaking)
Have fun, y'all.
(door clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
- Frank?
- Zoey.
Good to see you.
- Oh, my goodness.
How are you doing?
- Well.
Are you staying for the meeting?
No, I just dropped off some
vegetables from the garden
'cause you all have a pizza night tonight.
I don't think I know
you. I'm Frank Tarkin.
Hey, Frank, Wyatt, nice to meet you.
Frank is the senior executive
of the New Haven chapter of Unity.
So, you know, he's a pretty
big deal around here.
(Frank laughing)
- Yeah.
Yeah, I saw you in the commercial.
(Frank laughs)
So are you checking out Unity?
Yeah.
Well, if Unity is right for you,
then you've gotta check
out the Wellness Ranch.
It's really wonderful,
just a couple miles away.
Yeah, it's beautiful, horseback riding-
- Mm-hmm.
- Relaxation village,
totally zen.
- Mm.
Thanks for the invite.
You're welcome.
Well, I'll let you guys
get to go to your meeting.
Nice to meet you, Wyatt.
- Yeah, same.
- All right.
[Zoey] Good to see you, Frank.
We have a new face today.
I thought maybe we could spend
some time getting acquainted with Wyatt.
And I'd like to go around the room,
say something positive about yourself,
and then say something in five words
to encourage someone else.
My name is Regina.
Um, something positive about myself,
I, I think I'm a pretty good communicator.
Um, people rarely misunderstand
me when I express myself.
[Charles] I can attest to that.
(Charles and Regina laughing)
You are stronger than you think.
My name is Rachel.
Uh, something positive about me is
that I recently had a birthday.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
I think you're extremely intelligent.
I'm Chris.
I'm excited about this
new software program
I've been working on.
It still has a few bugs, but
I'm making major progress, so.
Mia, you're a, you're
a really good friend.
Thanks.
Um, I'm Mia, everyone,
and I really like fixing
people's problems.
Makes me feel good.
Zoey, you have tremendous inner courage.
Hi, everyone, I'm Zoey.
Um, as you already know, I love movies,
and name anything, I can quote from it.
You make people feel safe.
Hi, everyone, I'm Wyatt. (laughs)
Um, let's see, okay, something positive.
Um, it's great to be here.
And, uh, Charles,
you seem extremely well read.
Thank you.
Let's have an open forum.
Wyatt, just so you know,
this is a time of discussion
with complete transparency.
Nothing is off limits.
Anyone can speak or
stay quiet and observe.
It's up to them.
Anyone wanna start?
Rachel, what's your worst fear?
Not living here in New Haven.
Care to expand on that?
There's a lotta crazy out there.
It, it still feels somewhat normal here.
Chris, you have a terrible
secret from your past.
Do you share it with anyone
or keep it to yourself?
Oh, I think it's irrelevant.
I don't dwell on the past
because I don't want the past to find me.
I learn from it, and then I move forward.
But then again, in that sense,
hasn't the past defined you
because you have learned from
it, and it's changed you,
and you're a new version
of Chris in the present
and then into the future,
and I don't know, thus
being defined by your past?
Well, I think that, by
refusing to be defined by it,
you don't get stuck in the past.
You know, that way you can just move on
and not beat yourself up all
the time living with guilt.
Is that about right?
Yeah, that's, that's
more along the lines
of what I was trying to say.
Only you said it better, so well done.
I think that, um, you know,
some, sometimes the past doesn't
exactly stay in the past.
Explain.
You know, the, the past
can be obstinate, you know.
It doesn't wanna be ignored.
And, um, you have to be careful
of what you bury back there.
I sense there's more to that story.
Stay outta my life.
Those are my last words.
Uh, me and my dad were
having a discussion,
and it was really more of an
argument just like always.
I felt like he was constantly choking me,
and I wasn't free to
make my own decisions.
So naturally, I just lashed out,
and that was it.
I stormed out telling him
that he couldn't be
involved in my life anymore.
Two weeks later, they disappeared.
And, um, those are my last words.
So you regret what you said?
It's more than that.
I have a feeling that
whatever happened that day
isn't done with me yet.
I think the past is gonna
come back with a vengeance,
and I won't necessarily
be able to move on.
Wyatt, that's negative self-talk.
Don't do that to yourself.
You deserve better.
That's honest. It's real.
That's what we're about here.
(Wyatt exhales)
(water sloshing)
(cup clanking)
Do you mind, Wyatt?
[Wyatt] Oh, yeah, I got you.
(pitcher clanking)
Mm.
Thank you.
- There you go.
(cup clanking)
(water sloshing)
(utensil clanging)
(footsteps plodding)
Oh, hey, uh, you got a second?
- Yeah.
- I need your help.
- Excuse me.
- I got you.
(crickets chirping)
Here, here, I'll get it for you.
- Thank you.
- Yep.
(bags clattering)
That's a bag.
- Hmm, weird.
- What?
The neighbor, he's just
sitting over there staring at us.
Yeah, that's weird.
[Zoey] Totally get a strange
Stepford vibe from him.
Oh, yeah, is he still looking over here?
Yep.
(plastic rustling)
Now he's coming toward us.
[Wyatt] Let's, let's get back inside.
(Zoey sighs)
(footsteps plodding)
I, uh, really appreciate you hanging out
with us tonight. (laughs)
- Oh, it was
no problem.
- I'm really glad you came.
I hope you enjoyed Regina's pizza.
It's a family recipe.
Oh, yeah, pizza was solid, thanks.
- Yeah.
- How 'bout you?
You glad you came?
Yeah, of course.
I, uh, I have to confess,
I like the way you think.
You're an out-of-the-box kinda guy.
You speak with bravery,
almost, almost fearless.
No, I wouldn't say fearless.
I would.
I want you to tap into
that, accentuate it.
I think it'll serve you well.
I think it'll serve us well.
I think you have a future at Unity.
I can't say that about
everybody, but then again,
leadership is as innate
as it is learned, huh?
Hmm, you think I'd be a good leader?
I know you would, a great leader.
My fingers are freezing. (sighs)
I did this.
(metal squeaking)
It gets colder and colder.
Must a storm on its way.
So what in the world?
(Frank sighs)
(urine pattering)
(Frank whistling)
(ominous music)
(light buzzing)
(Frank whistling)
(light continues buzzing)
(Frank sniffs)
(items clattering)
(gravel crunching)
(woman screaming)
(creature roaring)
(suspenseful music)
(creature growling)
(horse neighing)
(suspenseful music continues)
(creature growling)
(woman screaming)
Daisy?
(horse neighing)
(person grunting)
(body thudding)
(creature growling)
(woman screaming)
(creature roaring)
(creature growling)
(suspenseful music continues)
(gravel crunching)
(doors rasping and clattering)
Susan?
(creature growling)
Susan?
Susan, open the door.
Susan, open the door.
Susan.
(Frank groaning)
(screaming) Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan.
(crickets chirping)
[Zoey] What you thinking?
What's on your mind?
Uh, Charles just mentioned
that if he thinks I'd make a great leader.
I just don't see it.
Well, that's a negative comment.
And I ask that the court
(Wyatt laughs)
Strike it from the record.
- Consider it struck.
- Where's your car?
(brooding music)
- What was that?
- What?
(item clattering)
(creature roaring)
(Zoey screaming)
(car clattering)
(Zoey coughing)
Okay, okay, I got you. I got you.
- Yeah.
- Here we go.
- You okay?
- Hey.
- Okay.
- Hey.
Are you guys okay?
Yeah, my car just got
tossed down the road.
Yeah, I saw, I saw that.
(car alarm blaring)
We've been getting a lotta calls
of disturbances in the area.
I, I'm with the safety rescue team.
We should get you guys inside.
Okay, okay.
Dispatch, this is Unit 3079.
Cell service is dead.
Dispatch, this is Unit 3079.
(wings fluttering)
(pensive music)
(switch clicking)
Dispatch, if you can hear me,
there is something in sector four.
(dramatic music)
(guard screaming)
Come on.
(guard screaming)
Guys, you okay?
- Something's here.
- Something's definitely here.
Yeah, everywhere.
[Zoey] It just took the security card.
- You have a gun?
- Of course not.
It's against Unity ordinance.
Thought those were more
like guidelines than rules.
Why, do you?
Uh, not on me.
It's gonna be okay. Just stay calm.
- So what do we do?
- We stay put.
I can't. My, my little
sister's home alone.
There's a great chance
that your car's not even
out there, at least not in one piece.
Yeah, mine got thrown down the street.
It threw your car?
What are these things?
I don't know. They're
definitely not human.
Aliens, it, it started
with those mass abductions
on Red Friday, and, and now
they're back to take over.
Charles, we just stay here?
I just need, I need to think.
We're sitting ducks in here.
Inside we're definitely
safer than outside.
They can flip a car but
can't get inside a house?
I don't know, Chris, new situation here.
I knew we should've put
in that bunker, Charles.
Shut up, everyone, please.
I just need time to think.
I, I'm willing to go out there
and see if my car is still here.
If it is, I can bring it around,
and we can get on the road.
[Mia] We need to get home.
We stay put.
(item thudding)
(suspenseful music)
(house smashing)
(members screaming)
Be careful.
(footsteps plodding)
(dramatic music continues)
(creature growling)
(suspenseful music)
(creature growling)
(creature hissing)
(woman screaming)
(floor creaking)
(body thudding)
(dramatic music)
(Regina screaming)
Help, help me.
Regina.
Wyatt, help me.
Regina.
(Regina screaming)
(body thudding)
(Regina continues screaming)
(glass shattering)
(Wyatt exhales)
You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
What about Zoey and Rachel?
I think the girls went downstairs.
Regina?
That thing took her
out the bedroom window.
We need to find the girls. Come on.
(ominous music)
(footsteps plodding)
Girls.
Rachel, Zoey.
(footsteps plodding)
Rachel.
Zoey.
(item thudding)
(item clanging)
(suspenseful music)
(door squeaking)
Rachel, Rachel, Rachel,
it's us. Are you okay?
What happened?
I don't wanna die.
Rachel, where is Zoey?
- Rachel.
- Yeah, hey, hey.
Are you okay?
Hey, Rachel.
Do you know what happened to Zoey?
Rachel, what happened to Zoey?
She's gone.
What do you mean?
[Rachel] It took her.
Took her where?
Outside.
I'm going out there.
Wyatt, you can't go out there.
Your wife is out there.
Zoey's out there.
- And they are both dead.
You don't know that.
As sad as it is to say, it's
a reality we have to accept.
We must stay together. We
need to keep this group alive.
- Just stay, man.
- Please, don't go, Wyatt.
I'm going out there to look.
(footsteps plodding)
(Wyatt breathing heavily)
(door creaking)
(dramatic music)
(creature roaring)
Go, go, go, go.
(door clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
Sh, sh, sh, sh.
(footsteps plodding)
(suspenseful music)
(creature snorting)
(knife clanging)
Oh, hey, hey, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.
- Just let me go.
- You can't go, man.
- Let go.
- You can't.
Give it to me, give it to me.
Just let me do it.
(Wyatt and Chris grunting)
I don't wanna die.
- None of us do.
- Then we have to fight.
You can't fight alien
scorpions with a kitchen knife.
It's not how you survive.
Wyatt is right, Chris.
Hey, I don't think I hear it.
Okay, stay here. I'll go look.
I'll be right back.
(dramatic music)
(Rachel screaming)
Go, go, go, go.
Go.
(flesh squelching)
Zoey.
Zoey, hey, hey, you okay?
Come here, come here.
It's okay, it's okay.
Come here, come here.
(Zoey whimpering)
(creature growling)
Hey, hey.
Run.
Go, go.
(dramatic music continues)
(Wyatt grunting)
(Zoey groaning)
(footsteps thudding)
(creature screeching)
Easy.
(creature screeching)
You okay?
- Uh-huh, okay, uh-huh.
[Wyatt] Let's move.
(feet shuffling)
(crickets chirping)
Okay.
(creature trilling)
Okay.
(feet shuffling)
(suspenseful music)
(creature snorting)
(creature trilling)
Okay.
(creature growling)
(suspenseful music continues)
This way, this way, this way.
(creature screeching)
(creature growling)
(Wyatt and Zoey laughing)
It's okay, it's okay.
(dog barking)
(Zoey sighs)
(scissors clanking)
(Zoey groaning)
You're free to go if you
want, but you're safe here.
(groans) Safe?
Do you have any idea what's out there?
Who are you?
My name is Marcus, Marcus Bachar.
Why are we safe here?
Yeah, it might be a
little difficult to explain.
You know what these
things are, don't you?
(mug thudding)
Why don't we start with you
guys telling me what you saw?
It's easy.
It's our worst nightmares come to life.
You believe that as well?
That's what it looks like.
I mean, first, they just,
they started taking
people, but now they're-
- They're ticked.
- They're ticked.
And the fifth angel blew its trumpet,
and I saw a star fallen
from heaven to earth,
and he was given the key to the
shaft of the bottomless pit.
He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit,
and out of the pit came
smoke like the smoke
of a great furnace.
(pensive music)
And the sun and the air were dark,
and from the smoke of the shaft,
and then from the smoke
came locust upon the earth.
And they were given power like the power
of scorpions of the earth.
What's that, a Stephen King novel?
Revelation 9.
[Wyatt] So you think this is just
a big Bible story come to life?
That's exactly what they are.
Locusts, you think
locusts did this to me?
You saw what was out there.
I'm not talking about
your run-of-the-mill insects
that buzz around your
porch light in the summer,
supernatural beings in
human form, hair, clothes.
But these abominations
are born out of the abyss
with teeth sharp as knives,
chests of iron, tails like scorpions.
Still sounds like Stephen King to me.
This isn't fiction.
This is the very word of God.
Fairytales.
Have you ever heard of a paradigm shift?
What if I told you I once paid a man
and asked him to stick
needles in my wife's face
while I held her down?
Come on, Wyatt, let's go.
You think that would be evil?
- Yeah, just a little.
- You sure about that?
What if I told you my wife
cut her tongue so badly
that she was bleeding to death,
and the man I paid was a doctor
who had no time for anesthesia,
so he had to stitch her
tongue while I held her down
to prevent her from moving.
Change your perspective?
What looked and sounded so evil
quite literally saved a life.
So you don't, you don't
think these things are evil?
I'm not saying that.
What I'm saying is it's
quite possible to be wrong
about what you absolutely think you know.
And what makes you so sure
that you're not the one who's wrong?
I'm not the one in bandages.
If you have some sort of
solution, I'd love to hear it.
I can help you with that.
Does it involve another Bible story?
Yeah, we're good.
Thanks for the tea.
Thanks for the bandages.
I think we're gonna take our chances.
Wyatt, don't go back out there.
Thanks, but I'm not
just gonna sit around
reading books while my
friends are out there dying.
Wyatt, they're not dead.
Trust me.
If you want me to, I can take you there.
I can...
(latch clicking)
(pensive music continues)
I gotta get something from the car.
But your car's in pieces.
Uh.
(floor creaking)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
(pensive music continues)
Mia, are you okay?
Charles, Mia, we gotta go.
We gotta get you downstairs.
Okay, yeah, this way.
(Mia speaking indistinctly)
Get over this way.
(dramatic music)
Rachel.
You'll get yourself shot.
(match cracking)
(flame hissing)
(hands thudding)
[Zoey] What happened?
We, uh, we, we made
our way down the street,
but they were all over,
at, at least 30 of 'em,
and they surrounded us.
That, that's when Chris
drew their attention,
and I hid in a shed.
The things they did to
him, how they hurt him,
I'll never be able to unsee.
I don't know how he's still alive.
It's okay. It's okay.
Hey, we're gonna get through this.
(Zoey sighs)
How you holding up?
Eh.
You're not a very good liar.
What's on your mind?
Did you lose anyone
these last three years?
I don't know
Foster kid as long as I can remember.
People don't realize this,
but loneliness is underrated.
Oh, Zoey, I'm sorry.
That's okay.
(sighs) I got that last line from a movie.
So why'd you join Unity?
I finally found a family.
Can, can I ask you personal question?
A personal question?
(Zoey laughs)
Yeah, I guess so.
The last time you saw your dad,
what did he want you to do differently?
What do you mean?
Well, you said that you wanted
to make your own decisions.
So I figured that your dad
wanted you to be an accountant
or something, and you wanted
to go be a struggling artist.
Yeah, I wish our family
dynamic was that simple.
But, um, that's the past.
Right.
And what we need to do today
is think about the present and the future.
Yeah.
(pensive music)
Zoey, what do you think
happens when we die?
I don't know.
Uh, I guess just never
really given it much thought.
Maybe, maybe nothing happens.
Maybe we come back. Maybe we don't.
I, I don't know.
Based off tonight, might be
worth giving it some thought.
(Zoey and Wyatt laughing)
Yeah, he just used to
ask me that question.
- Who?
- My dad.
And we'd get to talking about it.
He'd say, "Hey, Wyatt, if you don't know
where you're gonna go
when you die, don't die."
But I don't know why he
used to bother me so much.
Just (laughs) I mean, he
was never pressing me.
He was never accusing me of anything.
He was always asking with care,
but it always just got under my skin.
Wyatt, that's the past.
- Yeah.
- Don't let it haunt you.
I know.
I just think about how I responded.
It was so wrong. (laughs)
I mean, he always just
asked with such love.
You know, looking back
now, it does remind me
of the neighbor next door.
I don't know about your
dad, but the neighbor's crazy.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, maybe, like maybe he's not?
Well, how can we be so sure?
Uh, we can be sure
because we heard the words
coming out of his mouth.
Angels blowing trumpets and
smoke coming up from a pit,
you really think he's being serious?
Remember that thing he
said about being wrong
about what we think we know?
I mean, what, what if
what we saw wasn't aliens?
What are they if they're not aliens?
I don't know.
I mean, but he mentioned angels.
So wouldn't it just stand a reason
that the opposite also exists?
What, demons?
Yeah.
(ominous music)
Okay, I'm a fan of "The Exorcist,"
but it's fiction.
Thought that was based on a true story.
- It's just a movie.
- Oh.
I mean, but why can't they be demons?
I have no idea what I
believe right now, Zoey.
But whatever I saw out there
I've never seen before in my entire life.
And there's just gotta be some
other plausible explanation.
Why?
The government has all sorts
of data on this alien stuff,
documented facts.
That's the plausible explanation.
I know. You're right, you're right.
But what if the government got it wrong?
Or better yet, what if they're lying?
(pensive music)
I keep replaying the
whole thing in my mind.
And I, I don't know why they
went after Chris and not me.
(Rachel laughs)
- Hi.
- Hey.
[Zoey] Yeah. (grunts)
What is that?
I found this in the fridge.
I figured, if I'm gonna die tonight,
I might as well die eating chocolate cake.
What if I die? Do I get chocolate cake?
- Sure.
- Okay.
(Zoey laughing)
Mm-hmm, but just that,
I'm not giving you anymore.
Okay, the rest can be for you.
(fork and plate clanking)
How are you feeling?
Oh, bit banged up, but I'm fine.
Noticed you got one right here, too,
like on your cheek and then your neck.
I know.
How far did you get
dragged down the street?
I don't even know.
- Far enough?
- Mm-hmm. (laughs)
(Wyatt laughs)
I'm sorry. It's not funny.
(both laughing)
Well,
only four more hours until sunrise.
Mm-hmm.
I checked. We still don't
have any cell service.
Thanks for coming back for me.
(gentle music)
Of course.
- Fall disclosure.
- Mm-hmm.
And I'm only telling you this
because there's a great chance
that we might not see that sunrise.
Um, I had ulterior motives
for inviting you to the group.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
So the truth is coming
out now?
- Yeah.
I wanted to hang out with you.
And all those times that
I showed up accidentally
to the coffee shop, it
was like six times a week.
(Zoey laughing)
Well, you know, don't get me wrong.
I would've much preferred you take me out
to some fancy restaurant
over the killer monsters.
Oh, I don't know any fancy restaurants.
- Oh.
- Sorry.
(Zoey exhales)
(Wyatt laughs)
How's sushi?
- Ah, it's my favorite.
- Mm.
[Chris] Wyatt?
Wyatt, can you come here for a sec?
- Yeah.
- I'll be right back.
Okay.
Why was I spared? I, I'm not special.
I think some people
make the world special
just by being in it.
Yeah.
I need you to promise me something.
What is it?
Do you remember the Unity
workshop words of affirmation?
Yeah.
- This chapter-
- This chapter.
In my life is called
(pensive music)
Knowing my Worth and Acting Accordingly,
no more settling for less.
I, I know what I deserve.
Exactly.
If those things come
back, I'm dead weight,
and I, I can't go through that again.
We're gonna get you outta here, Chris.
No.
If they come back, I, I,
I need you to help me.
What are you talking about?
You were spared because you are special.
No one can take that away from you.
Try repeating the words of
affirmation to yourself.
Just meditate on it and let it sink in.
Yeah.
Look at me, man.
Look at what they did to me.
I can't go through that again.
Chris, I'm not gonna do that.
This chapter in my life is called
Knowing My Worth and Acting Accordingly,
no more settling for less.
Please, just, just
promise me we'll do it.
Promise me. Promise me.
I know what I deserve.
(creature growling)
(ominous music)
(Rachel screaming)
(glass shattering)
Chris, let's go. Get up.
Over here, come on. Here we go.
(all yelling indistinctly)
(item thudding)
(Mia screaming)
Hurry up.
[Mia] Where do we go? Where do we go?
(creature roaring)
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
[Zoey] Come on.
(Mia grunts)
[Charles] Come on. Come on.
[Zoey] Come on.
Sit down. Sit down.
Come on, Chris.
(creature screeching)
(blood squelching)
(Charles groaning)
Chris, Chris, get up, get up.
Chris, you gotta get up.
- No.
- Gotta get up.
No. (grunts)
(gun clanking)
Do it.
- Chris
- Do it.
- What are you doing?
Do it for me.
(creature growling)
Just do it.
Chris, you gotta get up.
Get up. Come on.
(creature roaring)
(gunshots blasting)
(arm thudding)
(creature roaring)
(foot thudding)
(Wyatt grunting)
(gun clanging)
(Wyatt gasping)
That won't help you.
(Wyatt gasping)
Is this the part where
you tell me I told you so?
Let's get you back to the house.
Not without them.
(hands smacking)
(Wyatt grunting)
(pensive music)
(foot thudding)
(creature growling)
(creature continues growling)
(air whooshing)
(pensive music continues)
(floor creaking)
Will they live?
Wyatt, I-
The guy who has all the answers
suddenly doesn't have anything to say?
I was only gonna say
I don't know the extent of their injuries.
But you know what these things can do.
You know what they are, don't you?
So I'm gonna ask you
again, will they live?
Yes.
Why? Why do you believe that?
Revelation 9.
Marcus, would you give
me a straight answer?
Wyatt, that is a straight answer.
Look, if you were having a
problem with your computer,
what would you do?
You wouldn't just rip the back off
and start hitting it with a hammer.
What would you do?
Come on, Wyatt. You seem like a smart guy.
- Okay, I-
- What would you do?
I'd look at the owner's manual.
The owner's manual, that's right.
Would you ever argue with the manual?
Would you ever think you can't
believe what the manual says?
If the manual says
something, you do it.
- Okay, okay.
Yes, I get it. The Bible's
the owner's manual.
Where, where do we go from here?
You can't hear unless
you're ready to listen.
What?
My dad used to say that.
Smart man.
(crickets chirping)
Why weren't you taken on Red Friday?
I mean, you're a Bible guy.
I wasn't then.
[Wyatt] What happened there?
I was just like you, man.
I'd heard the truth.
I hadn't listened to it.
She tried her best,
sat here at this table every morning,
reading and praying.
Then she was gone.
Outta desperation, I
decided to read the Bible,
and it changed me, changed my life, man.
Hmm, well, if Bible
reading didn't convince you,
then these locusts should.
It's all real. It's all foretold.
And so my parents and my brothers,
they weren't actually taken?
They were taken by Christ,
which means that they're not dead?
Quite the contrary,
they're more alive now
than they've ever been.
But these locusts,
they, they can't harm you,
so that's how you rescued us?
I'm a follower of Christ, so
I'm sealed, protected by him.
Maybe that's why the
creatures don't stay
at the Diggery house.
Maybe they see you coming
and they just take off,
go somewhere else.
And maybe they're scared of you.
The beasts don't fear the sheep, Wyatt.
They fear the shepherd.
In Revelations, these creatures
can't kill the unbeliever,
but they can inflict enough pain
and torment that you'll
wish you were dead.
It's as if Death took a holiday.
That means that Regina
and Rachel are still alive.
Marcus, we gotta go find 'em.
[Charles] I don't think
that's a very good idea.
Charles.
(chair clattering)
(Charles grunts)
How you doing?
- I've been better.
So you don't want us to
find your wife or Rachel?
I didn't say I don't
want you to find them.
I'm saying that right now with
those things running around
I don't think it'd be very smart.
[Marcus] I'd go with him.
Yeah, I appreciate your input there.
I'd go with Wyatt.
I get it that these
things haven't hurt you yet.
But your time's coming.
You don't know what you're dealing with.
Listen, we're, we're
all on the same page here.
We, we believe the same thing.
Your Jesus, he talked about,
he talked about oneness.
He talked about unity, didn't he?
He, he said that they all may
be one even as we are one.
Didn't he say that? Well, we believe that.
So we're, we're followers
of Jesus's teaching.
Christ's main teaching was
about who he is, not only just-
Charles, Charles.
Oh, Mia.
- Are you all right?
- Oh, my dear friend.
We are okay.
- You okay?
- All right?
[Mia] Yeah.
We're gonna find your wife.
We're gonna find Rachel.
If they're still alive.
Yeah.
You don't know that, Wyatt.
You're gonna go out there
and put yourself at risk,
put us all at risk based on a maybe?
We got lucky. We're still alive, Wyatt.
Let's not chance fate.
I did it for you. I'm
gonna do the same for them.
(scoffs) Do you hear
how foolish you sound?
Should he have left us behind?
What?
When I rescued Wyatt,
he begged me not to
leave you guys out there.
Doesn't your wife deserve the same?
Yeah, she does.
(crickets chirping)
(dogs barking)
Rachel.
Rachel?
(Rachel groaning)
Hey, you okay?
Okay, she's hurt, she's hurt.
[Marcus] Help me get her up.
- Okay.
- Careful.
Careful.
- Easy, easy, easy,
easy, easy, easy, here we go.
Easy, okay.
Okay.
(Rachel groaning)
(latch clicking)
Careful, here she is.
- Yeah, okay.
- You got it.
Okay, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Sorry, it's gonna be okay.
One more.
One more.
(pensive music)
[Zoey] This way, we're
gonna sit you down, okay?
(door clattering)
Let's get you to the couch.
Regina.
Regina.
Regina.
(item rumbling)
Marcus.
(creature trilling)
Marcus.
(creature growling)
(hand thudding)
(dramatic music)
(Wyatt grunting)
(creature screeching)
(Wyatt grunting)
I think the past is gonna
come back with a vengeance.
(energy pulsating)
(fire crackling)
[Marcus] It's quite possible to be wrong
about what you absolutely think you know.
So what do you think
happens when we die?
(glass shattering)
Go, go.
[Charles] Change the control beliefs,
you change the person.
[Wyatt] Chris, Chris.
(Chris groaning)
Do it. Just do it.
[Marcus] I'm a follow
of Christ, so I'm sealed,
protected by it.
[Wyatt] And what makes you so sure
that you're not who's wrong?
We must stay together.
We need to keep this group alive.
Wyatt, help me.
[Marcus] Come on, Wyatt.
You seem like a smart guy.
[Wyatt] Would you give
me a straight answer?
You can't hear unless
you're ready to listen.
[Wyatt] My dad used to say that.
(creature growling)
(dramatic music continues)
(body thudding)
(creature trilling)
(Wyatt gasping)
It's been 40 minutes.
I knew it was a bad
idea to go out there.
Everywhere you look,
you can see the damage
these things can do.
Not Marcus.
Okay, we got her,
safe, safe, safe, safe.
- You got her.
- Good.
- Oh, Regina.
- We just got her.
Here she is.
- Yeah.
Here I can, I can take her.
[Wyatt] Okay.
I got you. I got you.
There are definitely
fewer of 'em out there now.
They took her about a half mile away.
- Maybe they're leaving.
- Yeah.
I think you're right.
(page rustling)
(footsteps plodding)
(hand thudding)
(Wyatt sighs)
So what's next?
(Bible rasping)
You okay?
Yeah.
Rest a bit.
I'll go sit with everyone for a while.
(chair clattering)
(footsteps plodding)
(pensive music)
(Wyatt exhales)
(Zoey sighs)
(pensive music continues)
(birds chirping)
(Mia sighs)
(phones ringing and buzzing)
Oh, cell service is back.
- How you doing?
- What?
(Mia exhales)
Oh, finally.
Okay, oh.
(phone ringing)
(Regina speaking faintly)
(urgent news music)
[Reporter] Authorities
are still trying to figure
what caused the unprecedented
series of events
that unfolded last night.
Mysterious creatures attack cities,
leaving authorities and
citizens bewildered in concern.
- Okay.
- Authorities and scientists
are struggling to comprehend the origin
and nature of these creatures.
- So you okay?
- Initial investigations-
- Yeah.
- Suggest
that they may have been
an entirely other species
or even extraterrestrial beings.
The motive behind these
attacks is still unclear,
as there have been no discernible patterns
or targeted areas.
As the situation-
- You ready?
- Continues to unfold,
we urge everyone to please stay tuned
to reliable sources of information
for the latest updates.
- Yeah, ready?
- We'll bring you
continuous coverage-
Can get up?
[Reporter] of these events
as we receive more information.
Thank you.
It's not over.
They'll be back.
I know.
(birds chirping)
Okay, everyone.
I think we need to start
gathering some supplies
for the move.
What move?
Next door with Marcus.
Wyatt, you're not in charge here.
We're not going back next door.
Why do you even wanna
go back over there?
Because it's safe.
We're safe here.
Yeah, you heard the announcement.
Those things are gone now.
Come on, Wyatt.
You gotta admit there's no
real need to go back over.
We're, we're all, we're all fine.
[Mia] Yeah, we're fine.
(Wyatt laughs)
Are you guys serious?
They're coming back.
Come on, Wyatt. That's just negative.
[Wyatt] No, no, it's not negative.
- Wyatt.
- It's the truth.
Stop.
I don't know if you guys
have been keeping score,
but so far it's monsters five, Unity zero.
And if it wasn't for Marcus,
we wouldn't still be here.
Wyatt, that's enough.
(tense music)
Enough, no one's going anywhere
You're afraid.
I'm not afraid of anything.
And that right there
spoken like a true coward.
- Enough.
- Charles.
Charles.
- Charles.
It'll be over your dead body.
Charles, you gotta do what you gotta do.
But I am not staying here,
and neither should any of you.
Oh, you don't think
I'll do it, do ya, huh?
How 'bout this?
- Charles, what are you doing?
[Regina] Stop it.
You leave over my dead body.
Charles, sweetheart, please.
What it you doing?
- Huh?
I have your attention now, huh?
Hey, I have an idea.
Let's go together, yeah.
One for you-
Charles.
And one for me, hmm?
Huh?
- Stop it.
[Charles] Yeah.
- This is not the way-
- don't do this.
- It's done, Charles.
- Stop.
Come on.
- Restaurant it.
- Yeah.
[Wyatt] Not the way to do it, Charles.
[Regina] Don't do it.
Charles, stop it.
(Charles whimpering)
(pensive music)
(gun clattering)
(Charles sobbing)
(gun clanking)
Wyatt, listen to me.
(gentle music)
You're forgetting about
us, the bond that we have.
I'm with you.
It's all clear now.
Charles is a coward.
That's why he's not fit to lead anybody.
There's strength in sticking together.
There's strength in unity.
This movement needs someone
who really believes that it works.
After watching all of
that, I, I can see it.
I can feel it.
I know how to make this work.
Zoey, I'm sorry, but
I'm not staying here.
Wyatt, Wyatt.
Wyatt, stay with me.
Please.
Zoey, you were right.
It is clear.
And it's, it's all true, all of it.
The neighbor?
My parents, my dad,
Marcus only confirmed that he was right.
I was just too stupid-
- Wyatt.
- To even see.
I didn't want them to be right.
Wyatt, remember the
picture, the painting?
The colors aren't special by themselves
but only as they serve the painting.
Zoey.
I wanna meet the artist.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music continues)
(Zoey sighs)
(Zoey exhales)
(footsteps plodding)
(somber music)
(door clattering)
