Previously on "Resident Alien"
- Oh!
- Aah!
So what happened to the
real Harry Vanderspeigle?
- I don't know.
- Dr. Vanderspeigle,
a new doctor has arrived.
- Please call me Dr. Ethan.
- I'm glad you know about me.
Nobody wants to hide
who they really are.
You should stop feeling
guilty about giving away Jay.
She is a survivor.
He will die.
My leg chop it off.
If Asta wasn't there, I would be dead.
They took your spaceship, didn't they?
That means they're after you.
It's probably M.I.B Men in black.
I invited a friend
over with her husband.
This is Sarah and Richard Houston.
You can babysit Max whenever you want.
Oh, I would love that.
You shouldn't have taken that.
Now the kid's gonna know
we were in his room.
Good. Then when he goes to warn it,
we'll be right on its tail.
Asta! Are you in there?
If you kiss her, you'll know it
You'll never forget
She's a little French sweetheart
Everyone has to die.
It is the normal cycle of life
for beings across the entire universe.
Some may live longer than others,
but every organism comes into being
and then ceases being.
The animals know this.
They live in harmony with the Earth,
as it was meant to be.
Everyone I kill with my device
is going to die anyway.
At least I'm killing
them for a good reason.
It's different for humans.
Humans kill because they
know they're small,
insignificant, weak.
And killing makes them feel strong
even if it's just for a moment.
And when humans are smart,
they may even get away with murder.
Of course, no being really
gets away with anything.
The universe knows what you have done,
even if nobody else does.
And the universe will restore balance
one way or another.
Humans have a word for this.
They call it "karma."
I thought you said Asta's car was here.
Oh. Calling me a liar?
Well, if the shoe fits, D'arce.
Please don't fight.
Look, D'arce, we're all
just freaking out a little bit.
Like, this is bad.
You damn near gave me a heart attack
banging on my door like
that at the crack of dawn.
Oh, I'm so sorry that finding
the dead body
of the man I love locked in a freezer
is so inconvenient for you!
All right? It's a human life, asshole.
Okay? Harry is dead.
What is going on out here?
I'm standing here wondering
why I ain't home in bed.
Thank God you're alive.
This is no, it's impossible.
She is worse than your dog.
Yeah, well, I didn't have
the heart to wake Cletus up.
He was in REM sleep chasing goats.
I'll get her.
Sorry about this, Dr. V,
but, uh, D'arcy broke into
your cellar last night
and she thinks she saw
a dead you in the freezer.
I told her it was probably
just some meat
in there that looked like you,
like a frozen pig or something.
I am more handsome than a pig.
Oh, me too. Yeah, man, I'm probably
somewhere between a pig and a dolphin.
You know, that dolphin,
that's a fine-ass animal.
It's nothing but meat.
- You moved the body.
- Sure enough.
And here it is.
No, I meant the dead guy, dipshit.
Obviously it's not him, but
I saw a dead body down there.
Why was Asta's car outside?
We went to a medical
conference together.
You smell like alcohol.
Okay, come on, D'arce.
You have to go now.
- I'll buy you breakfast.
- No.
No!
I know what I saw.
Stop trying to gaslight me.
I know I'm not crazy.
The deputy said
- It's time to go.
- What? No.
- No!
- Let's
Get your fucking hands off me!
- Oh, dear.
- Ah! Help me, Deputy!
- She on me like a spider!
- Dish it out
It's unfortunate I have to
kill everyone and leave here.
The warmth of spring is just arriving.
Ow!
Let go of my damn hair!
- Let go of his hair.
- Ah, get your damn
D'arcy, let go of the chair.
- Yes.
- Take that!
- You spit
- It is quite nice here.
Handcuffs, that's what they're for.
They're for cuffing hands!
Come on. Come on.
- I give you credit.
- Okay.
You fight like a pack of pit bulls.
Ugh, come on, hit me!
You know you want to hit me, Sheriff.
- Do it!
- Please stop struggling!
It's gonna be okay,
I'll drive your car back.
- Ow!
- Get in the car!
I'm sorry about this, Doctor.
Yes, I'm very upset at this intrusion.
"I'm gonna read you your rights."
What do I say? Tell me what I say!
Tell me what I say!
Okay, all right, all right,
all right, all right.
Pull it up. I have to see this.
Aye.
There, she's stealing it.
I knew it.
She's a woman in a purple skirt,
man in black.
We have to warn Harry.
Told you he'd lead us to the alien.
You want to tell me what happened?
- I'm worried about you.
- You're overreacting.
It's not like you've never
bailed me out of jail before.
"Overreacting"? Cool.
I woke up this morning
to a hundred texts
and a voicemail from you screaming,
"He's dead! He's dead!"
All right, look, I know what happened.
All right? You and Harry murdered a guy.
It happens, but I'm here for you.
We're gonna take my car to Canada.
From there, I've got an
old ski buddy in Juneau.
There's a safe deposit box,
1,000 bucks to keep us going.
Three passports. So
That's a lot to process.
Uh, but, no, I did not kill anyone.
Are you sure?
I'd remember.
Right. Right.
Cool, so the Sheriff was right.
I'm seeing things.
- New low.
- D'arcy, what did you do?
I sort of broke into
Harry's house last night,
and I saw a freezer full of meat,
and I thought it was a dead body.
D'arce, how much did you have to drink?
Barely anything to drink.
I had a couple edibles and
a pill I found in my couch.
- Come on!
- Look
you're obviously keeping
some big secret from me.
You're my best friend!
I would not keep secrets from you.
- You're lying.
- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.
- No.
You have a tell, remember?
When you're lying, you get
overly huggy and touchy.
That's not true.
D'arce, come on.
Thanks for bailing me out. I got to go.
D'arcy.
God.
Slow down. You're too close.
Jesus Christ, it's like driving
with my grandmother.
"Why don't you go out back, Memaw,
and knit me a sweater?"
Great, you distracted me,
now we're losing the little shit.
Oh, my God. Are are you all right?
Watch your language, please.
And you owe me $100 for the bike.
Um
looks fine to me.
I'd be happy to wait for the police.
Pay the girl.
You're the one who made me run her over.
Let's go.
Now we've lost him.
Pleasure.
- Taking so long.
- It's $100.
My device is at full power.
With one press of the button,
the timer will begin,
and roughly 90 Earth minutes later,
8 billion humans will cease to exist.
This is the moment I fulfill the mission
that will change the course
of the universe forever.
Are you dreaming of pizza?
Mama Sap's Pizza is now open
in the heart of downtown Patience!
I can't kill everyone on
Earth with an empty stomach.
Is Jay working here?
I gave her a part-time job.
Dad, I don't think that's a good idea.
You're friends with an alien,
and Jay's a bad idea?
Oh, she's coming over. Get out of here!
Hey.
Hey.
Um, I see you have a new job.
Yeah. First day.
Cool.
Look, D'arcy told me what
happened on the mountain.
Just wanted to make sure you didn't lose
any fingers or toes or anything.
Uh, no. Um
Got 'em!
Look, I was gonna tell you
that if you ever want to talk about
everything, anything, I'm here.
You want me to talk to you about you?
Well
- I was thinking we could
- No.
Sure. Yeah.
You know, I should get back to work.
Of course. It was nice to see you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Hello, Miss Twelvetrees.
Help yourself.
I know that you know.
I know that you know.
Does she know?
"She" has a name.
And she knows.
She knows a lot.
We have a situation.
The government is after him.
They know that I know who he is.
What? How?
Because they're the government.
Don't be so naive.
Excuse me?
I'm sorry.
Sometimes I speak to adults
like they're my peers
because I'm mature for my age.
I'm working on it.
I hid a camera in my room,
- and I saw them search my house.
- What?
And they went back to their base,
and now they're driving
around searching for him.
How do you know where their base is?
We have our ways.
Where is my phone?
I learned from the squirrels
that when you've filled your stomach,
you should take as much food
as you can to eat later.
With this pizza stack,
I can kill everyone
and still have pizza to eat for days.
And now, with a belly that's bursting
like a stuffed garbage bag,
there's nothing stopping me
from completing my mission.
I should test it first.
Okay, you two.
I'll be upstairs on the treadmill
if you need anything.
Sahar, thank you again for
helping Max with his homework.
I don't mind.
I want to be a teacher
when I'm old, like you.
Wow.
I'm not old. I'm young, okay?
My life is not passing me by.
I'm just just living it.
But that's that's wonderful.
It's just wonderful.
This makes no sense.
It says the phone is here.
You're tracking the wrong phone.
Put it on your mom's.
It is on my mom's.
It can't be.
I put your mom's phone
right under the RV.
Lock the front door. I'll get the back.
Don't be afraid.
We just need your help.
I'm not giving your 100 bucks back.
My device uses the Earth's own energy
to send a pulse throughout the world
that will kill every human.
I can also direct it to a singular point
and get rid of this body.
Will it hurt?
You again?
You know you're just stalling.
You're afraid to kill everyone.
No, I'm not.
My people do not feel fear.
Yes, but you're not your people
anymore, are you?
You've been infected with humanity.
I don't need to listen to this!
I was supposed to die of
old age with Isabelle.
I even bought a plot in Upstate New York
under the most beautiful maple tree.
We were supposed to be
next to each other forever.
Do you miss her?
I miss a lot of things
the five senses
driving around with nowhere to go
tacos.
- But I loved Isabelle.
- How do you know?
How do I know I loved my wife?
What did it feel like?
It feels like
life.
Like everything you've ever felt.
The joy and the fury held in your heart
and wrapped in
hope
hope that everything will be okay.
Love makes you feel
connected to everything.
Make you feel light-headed,
you feel like you're floating.
I love Isabelle, too.
You're an asshole.
You don't even know her!
I do.
When she left
my heart felt like it was falling.
That's rejection.
That's not love.
Then why do I feel the other things?
I feel hope.
I feel connected to everyone
to everything.
I used to feel those things.
You took it all from me.
I'm sorry.
You didn't just take
Isabelle away from me.
When you killed me,
you took me away from Isabelle.
She needs me.
Stop.
Stop doing that with your eyes.
When you killed me, you killed her.
- No.
- Yes!
She cries every day.
No. No, she doesn't.
- You broke her heart!
- Stop!
Harry, uh, where are you?
Please call me when you get this.
I need to talk to you.
- Hey, Asta. How you doing?
- Oh, hey. Um
I need to leave early. Is that okay?
That's fine. It's slow.
I'll hold down the fort.
Okay. Thank you.
Hey, Asta, can you help me out?
I need that dead foot.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I found a boot.
I need to see if it's a match.
There might be another murder in town.
So you're telling me eventually
that thing will look like that one?
Where did you get the boot?
On the shore next to
Dr. Vanderspeigle's house.
So what happened to
the real Harry Vanderspeigle?
I don't know.
I sort of broke into
Harry's house last night,
and I saw a freezer full of meat,
and I thought it was a dead body.
Another murder is horrible,
but we're gonna get who did this.
Promise.
Okay?
She has her earphones in.
She can't hear anything.
I could scream louder
than her workout songs.
I can get her down here in two seconds!
Well, you're not gonna
like what happens to her
when you do that.
You need to tell us where this alien is,
- you little shits.
- Why should we?
Because it's here to kill us all.
If you think I am
afraid to kill everybody,
you are dumb!
I could press this button at any time.
If you agree with me
and I am right and you are wrong,
then just sit there dead
and don't say anything.
Okay, then.
We agree.
Goodbye, only human in the room.
That's impossible.
The energy doesn't affect my people.
Was he right?
Am I no longer my people?
But that means if I set off my device,
it will kill me, too.
Hey.
What are you doing out here?
Nothing, just
making up nicknames
for everybody who walks by.
Want to have a seat, Mr. Short Pants?
Cool, guess I'll be throwing
these out when I get home.
This is the same bench that we sat on
that day we skipped
Mrs. Henderson's science class.
God, you're right.
That's a long time ago.
Are you okay?
I
remember being so happy that day.
That was right before
I left for Stratton.
I remember feeling like
my life was just starting.
Yeah, you've always
been happy like that.
It's what I love about you.
You know, it's what everyone loves.
I'm not happy.
- You're not?
- Are you?
Well, no.
But I was never really
happy to begin with.
So
Yeah, well,
I had a chance at being happy, but
it just went away, you know?
I hurt my leg, and that was it.
Hey
You can be happy.
Look, I'm gonna play the
nickname game with you,
and your nickname is Miss
You're Amazing.
All right.
Well, you're bad at that game.
But it's true.
I mean, you've accomplished
so much in your life.
Shut up.
I-I'm not amazing.
I-I feel like I've done
nothing with my life.
I just
wanted to
I just wanted to matter
make a difference to somebody, I
Maybe it's all just bullshit.
No, you matter.
You're smart and funny.
I-I wish I was like you.
I'm terrified of pretty much everything.
But sometimes I look at you, and
you're so fearless.
It makes me feel,
I don't know, less scared.
You know, you make me happy.
Um
- What are you doing?
- Sorry.
- I'm married, D'arcy.
- Sorry about that.
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
- I'm so sorry, I thought that
- Uh, no, it's okay.
- I got to go.
- Right, right.
Got to got to go.
Shit!
Please, Max, you have to trust me.
He is going to kill everyone.
Tell us who he is.
He's not going to kill everyone.
His ship is a Quimbaya amulet.
Max, he's going to kill everyone.
He won't. He'll listen to me!
Why are you in my house?
Sarah, what is going on?
"Hey, honey."
"Good evening, sweetheart."
"Oh, yeah, day was good.
What's for dinner?
Divorce? Great."
Lock the door? That's weird.
Okay, take whatever you want.
- Please.
- Don't make me use this gun.
- Oh, my God, oh, my God.
- Don't hurt the kids.
Mike, I need your help.
There's people in my house.
My family is in there. They have a gun.
What? Okay, all right, look.
Do not move. Don't go inside.
We'll be there in five minutes,
all right?
No, no, no, we don't have five minutes.
Look, do not go inside!
We're on the way.
Deputy!
Shit!
Shit!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Help.
Let me out of here!
If you touch my kid, I will kill you!
Max, who is that?
Why is he wearing a white coat, hmm?
Okay, I'll tell you.
I swear to God!
Get away from my kid!
Okay, he told us who it is.
We got what we need. Let's go.
- Hold on, Max!
- Whoa, we're not doing that.
We're doing whatever I say we're doing.
Get down.
You guys are like Daredevil
and the Black Widow.
Thank you for saving my life.
Time to go.
These things don't usually
have a happy ending.
It could've been a lot worse.
Yeah, I don't recommend
citizens taking the law
into their own hands, but that was
That was some real hero shit
the two of you did in there.
Well, we're a pretty good team.
Yes, we are.
You both have blood, like,
all over your shoes.
I'm never washing them.
Me neither.
Oh, no.
That's a lot of tongue.
You trying to get all
the way in the back?
- Y'all nasty.
- Really?
Y'all got a room right upstairs.
Oh, boy.
How's that article coming?
Need another quote?
Asta's my mother.
Yeah. Sheriff Mike's my father.
You
Holy shit.
You're the baby.
I'm not surprised she didn't tell you.
She's been keeping it a secret.
Yeah.
Yeah, she has.
I don't know what to do.
She's my mother,
and I don't even know how
to act in front of her.
Not to mention my father.
Oh.
Right.
Jimmy.
It's so messed up.
What am I supposed to
say to someone like that?
I mean, I'm gonna see him.
And I can't talk to Asta.
I can't talk to my parents.
I probably shouldn't even
be talking to you right now,
but I feel like I am losing my mind
and I need someone in
this town to talk to
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey!
You can totally talk to me.
I can't live here like this, okay?
I can't do
You are not running away from this.
And you are not alone.
I can help you.
Hey.
Can you get free onion rings?
It's part of the plan.
Yeah, okay.
You killed Harry Vanderspeigle.
No, I didn't.
Do not lie to me.
Okay, I killed him, but he started it.
Do you have any idea what you did?
You cannot just murder someone.
That is not how it works here.
Humans kill people all the time.
Someone killed Sam Hodges, so
Yeah, and you saw what that did to me,
to all of us, and
you did the same thing.
No.
Goodbye. This is done.
- We are done.
- No, don't say that.
- Wait, wait.
- What?
What?
It'll be okay. It's like the song.
"Ooh, child, things are
going to get easier."
"Ooh, child" Stop.
- Don't touch me!
- I'm sorry.
You just can't leave me.
Don't tell me what I can and cannot do.
Wow, you are really getting a hang
of this human-male bullshit.
Don't go. It hurts!
It's
It's you.
You're the reason that I feel it
The joy and the fury all wrapped up.
You want fury?
Go back to your planet, Harry.
Whoever you are,
whatever you are,
I never want to see you again.
- But we are friends.
- I am not friends with people
I mean not people.
I don't know what you are.
But I know what you're not.
You are not my friend.
I thought you were my friend.
I do not like this.
I don't like this place anymore.
Hey.
Hi.
So, I, uh
I guess you're my father.
Yeah.
If you ever touch Asta again,
I'll kill you.
Feel better?
Oh, D'arcy, what are you
D'arcy, don't! Ugh!
Son of a bi
D'arcy!
Oh! Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, no!
Look out!
Look out! Out of the way!
Oh.
Yeah. Yeah, I feel better.
Yeah, me too.
We we should go now.
Miss Twelvetrees?
Hey, it's Max Hawthorne.
I need your help.
Harry's here to kill everyone,
and I think I know where he's going.
Excuse me.
Are you the town doctor?
Yes, I am.
Oh, that is a nasty cut
Town doctor.
That kid was right.
He is the prettiest
alien I've ever seen.
Yeah. Just be careful, all right?
We don't know what this
monster's capable of.
Yeah.
- Move, move. Let's go.
- Whoa.
What what the hell is this?
Come on.
- I knew you were real.
- Okay.
I-I got you your alien.
So now I'm officially done with her.
- Aw.
- I'm sorry.
This woman is
an unhinged psychotic.
I agree completely.
Close it up!
Wait, are you
are you guys men in black?
Oh, would you stop it.
They're not called that.
You've watched too many movies.
And if I wanted them involved,
I would've told my superiors.
And then we wouldn't have an alien,
would we?
Who's we?
This is bigger than
anything you could imagine.
Too bad you won't be here
to see how it all plays out.
Get rid of him.
I told you.
- I have different orders.
- Okay, um
Kill ya later.
See, I don't get it.
I mean, first Sam,
then this roving couple
going around terrorizing people.
Don't get me wrong, I like the mayhem.
I like it a lot.
I might like it a little too much,
if that's possible.
It is. It's quite frightening, actually.
Don't forget the foot
with the matching boot.
But
can it all really be just a coincidence?
I don't believe in coincidence.
Oh, me neither.
So both the boot and the foot
were found in the same area
right by Dr. Vanderspeigle's place.
Yeah, you mean the boot,
the foot, and the doorknob.
That thing definitely didn't
come from no houseboat,
that's for sure.
Looks like we might have
a new prime suspect.
Let's go visit Dr. Vanderspeigle
tomorrow morning,
see if he's got anything to add.
What is that?
Oh!
Oh, my God.
Is this a Nespresso?
It's nothing, man.
I just picked that up for the office.
- It was on sale.
- Yes, yes!
Oh, my God, oh, my God!
You got me a coffee pod machine!
Oh, what are you doing?
I got that for the whole office.
- What are you doing?
- Nope.
You got it for me,
and you agree with
my doorknob instincts.
You got decent doorknob instincts,
all right?
But this whole thing is for everybody.
- It ain't just for you.
- Nope.
- What are you doing?
- Nope. You got it for me.
You in the vehicle!
Let me see your hands!
I have no choice now,
since my device will destroy me.
I will fly away from
here and drop the device
onto this beautiful planet
to finish the job I started.
Whoa.
Go, go, go!
Double up, double up!
Harry!
There's more!
Freeze!
Hold it right there.
Oh, no.
I forgot the pizzas.
Maybe I can go back and get them.
I could take the ship
and pick them up on my way to space.
I can't because of this stupid mission.
I am so hungry.
They look like black ants.
Where is your queen?
Come on.
Get down.
Harry!
Run, Max! Hide!
Harry
I know why you're here.
Don't do it. Please don't do it.
I must.
- It's why I came here.
- I don't care.
You're not the same.
You've changed since you came here,
since you killed that man.
I've seen it. I just saw it now.
You could've left,
but you stayed to help us.
- You've changed.
- No.
My mission is to kill everyone.
If you kill everyone,
you kill me.
You are right, I have changed, but
There's my friend.
We are friends?
Yes.
We are friends.
So, that means you will
come with me to my planet
and we will kill everyone
on Earth together?
What? No.
I-I'm I'm staying here.
Then I won't kill everyone.
Okay, good.
I will miss you, friend.
I'll miss you, too, friend.
I should dispose of my device.
It will kill everyone on Earth
when it detonates in 80 seconds.
Oh, my God. Yes. Go.
Go!
Real quick
I left some pizzas in my freezer.
You can have them if you want them.
Thank you.
Go!
Everyone has to die eventually.
What matters are the choices
you make while you're alive.
Killing may make humans
feel strong in the moment,
but what I've begun to realize is,
true strength comes from
choosing not to kill.
Maybe being truly human
is about choosing to love instead.
But with that love comes the pain
that I feel inside me.
I need to go home.
Hopefully the further I get from them,
the less I will care.
Finally, I will be at peace again.
Hi.
You're taking me home, right?
This is some bullshit!
Ugh.
