(somber music) (glass shattering) (whimsical music) - Shawny? Wake up, my sweet boy. Shawn, I have something really
special I wanna show you. We have to get going or
we're gonna miss it, okay? - [Shawn] Mom? - Let's go. Wake up. (pleasant music) (somber piano music) (car horn honking) (upbeat music) - Where do you
think you're going? - Going on an adventure. - You never take me on
any of your adventures. Can I go? Please? - Sorry, Stink, that's no. - Well, why? - Simple. You smell. - You are so
mean. - Hey! Hey, geek face! You know, I was actually
thinking to myself how excited I was to
see you this morning. - Really? - Then I puked in my mouth and the thought
eventually subsided. - Subsided? That's a big word
for you, buddy. - You like that? That was just for you. Now get your gear in the rear and let's get this
show on the road. - All right. - Son. - Hey, thanks for getting the
supplies. - No problem, bro. There's actually
this really hot TA in my bio class this year, totally wants t
o do experiments
on my bod, obviously. So when you called
asking for the stuff, I said, "Hey, let the
experimentation begin." - Gross. - Help me, father. They're all insane. Purify them or just take
them away from my life. Either way is fine with me. Father, please help us. I can't do this on my own. - It's good to see you. - Good to see you, man. - What is that? - It's a map, smarty. - You don't have
a GPS, Mr. Techy? - Of course I do. It's just... The age of machines and all, I feel like my ge
neration
depends on it way too much. I mean, the average teenager
doesn't know how to navigate a single block, let along, know how to use a
simple map. And the day will come when the sun decides
to emit a large CME, whipping out our power grids. How're we gonna get around? Complete chaos. - That's deep, bro. You managed to impress and
depress me at the same time. - Stop pushing me then. - I just like my GPS
because I like to listen to the sexy British chick. "Turn left here. "Make a u-turn." - F
igures. All right. Head up to Woodshire Fields, take the 15 all the way north. - Woodshire? That's where we went
camping with Dad, right? - Yeah. It's got a lot of land to
conduct a successful launch. - All right. Well that's a long haul. I should probably go in and
say hi to Dad then, right? - No, he's still asleep with Shannon. - Are you still being
mean to her? She's a good person, Shawn. I don't understand why
you're not being nice to her. Give her a chance, you know? - I hate that he's tryi
ng to
replace mom. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Shawn, (somber music) it's been three years, buddy. I know that doesn't
seem like a long time but Dad's gotta move on and Shannon is helping
him do that. Look at me. Nobody can replace mom. Nobody. Wherever she is, she'd want Dad
to be happy, right? - Yeah, I guess you're right. - Of course I'm right. (engine rumbling) Besides, Shannon comes with
a really cool little sister. (Shawn chuckling) - [Shawn] Step sister. She stinks. - [Michael] Okay. She's
a really cool,
smelly little sister.- [Shawn] Well you don't
have to live with her. - And give us life everlasting. Amen. - Where in the hell is that
woman? (church bell ringing) Goddamn it, woman. 50 years ago, you used to be this hot
little, spunky Italian thing. Now you're ugly
and slower than molasses. And what the heck
are you needing to pray for a whole
hour about anyway, huh? - [Old Woman] I was praying
for your soul, dear. And that the good Lord would
take it soon. - [Old Man] Well the s
ooner
the better, girlfriend. Now I hope you didn't hide my
pill bottle from me this time. - [Old Woman] And why
would I do that? - [Old Man] What? - [Old Woman] And why
would I do that?! - [Old Man] Damn. I swear, between my bad hearing and you talking like you
got a mouth full of oatmeal, no wonder we don't communicate. - Loving the tunes
out here, bro. What you reading, dork? "Fire Fighter's Manual
to Disaster Prevention." You wanna be a fireman now? - Uncle Steve gave it to me. He thought I'
d like it because of my interest
in extraterrestrials. - Extraterrestrials? It's a fireman's book. What's it got to do with ET? - Right now I'm
reading chapter 16. It's talking about the potential
of UFO invasion, right? And it says that fireman are our first line of defense
against aliens. - What? - [Michael] No way.
- [Shawn] Yeah. - You're messing with me. - Dude, it even gets
into how radiation is an alien's natural defense. It's really detailed. - That's crazy. - Why would a fire officer's
book have something about
an alien invasion? - It was written in 1992 by
two veteran fire officers, one of which witnessed the
Los Angeles air raid of '42. - Los Angeles air raid? What is that? - Oh, come on. Are you kidding me? - No, nothing. - Oh god. - Sorry, space man. - I can't believe
you're my brother. - Hey, the feeling is mutual. (chuckling) - All right, well, it was 1942, three months after
the US declared their part in World War II, when the Los Angeles Air Defense
Unit went into full
affect for the first time ever. Army forts all
across the coast line fired thousands of
shells into the night sky and then they just stopped. The event is still in
question to this day. - That is insane. - Yeah, right? - Well, hey, maybe it was just, you know, like
a training exercise masked as an
alien invasion, right? Scare the masses, mind control. - Or it coulda been the aliens
doing a little experiment. Trying to test
our military's defenses. - Speaking of experiment, I think we're here. -
Oh, this is gonna be awesome. (adventurous music) - [Old Man] I'm just saying,
where did you put my pill? - [Old Lady] In the
medicine cabinet. - Yeah, even though I take
them at the damn table. (adventurous music) (ominous music) What in Sam Hill? - Oh my. Is it dead? Oh, it looks really sick. Maybe we should call a vet. (chuckling) - A vet? What the heck's that look
like to you, woman, huh? A chihuahua? - Oh no. I, no, I... - Call a vet. Oughta have one take
your butt out to pasture. (cow moa
ning) - Oh my. - I swear, if Roberto's been
feeding these damn cows churros again, I'll send his butt
back to Mexico. (cow mooing) It's all right, girl. We'll just take a look at you. I think she's pregnant. - Aw! (cow moaning) (squelching) (ominous music) (screaming) (creature growling) (old man screaming) (teapot whistling) - That kid's gotta start
getting in the habit of telling me where he's going. He can't just bolt out of here
first thing in the morning without giving me his exact
location
. That's enough water. And letting me know
when he's gonna be home. - You really want his exact
location, why don't you just
put a GPS in his tush and you'll know
where he is 24/7. - A GPS, huh? You know, I'm the sheriff in
this town. I can make that happen. - [Shannon] Oh. - Might go against the
Constitution, but hey, he's my kid. I can enslave
him all I want, right? - That's right because
you're the sheriff. - That's right. - Ew. - I know he told us he's doing his science experiment
with Micha
el. - I don't remember him
mentioning anything about a science
experiment with Michael. - Well, he told me. - Well that's just what I'm
talking about. He tells you. He doesn't tell me anything. Doesn't respect me, doesn't
respect the rules of the house.You know, the kid's got
me on a pain on my list. It's gotta stop. - I just think it's little
difficult for him, you know? With us living here together. It's gotta be hard. Why don't you just
give him some time and a little bit of space? - Space? S
hannon, have you
seen this kid's room? The kid lives in space, okay? I mean, he sits in
there 24/7, you know? He's playing on his little
gadgets and his games. When he does emerge from his
star ship, he comes out here for dinner, zone out on that tablet thing and turns into a zombie. - I've asked him not to do that. - Well, we have
to ask him again. He should get outside
every once and awhile. Play some sports. - Emily, don't do that. - Do him some good. Get a little exercise. - Right. - Heck, a
t this point, I
wouldn't mind if he got into a little
trouble now and then. - Yeah, he's never
gonna be like Michael. You know that, right? - I'm not saying that, okay? I'm just saying the
behavior has got to stop. It has been going on since. - You know, I just think the kids
still miss their mom. You know? I think they're still grieving. So why don't you just show
up and show them some love? (phone ringing) - Hello? What? Okay, okay. I'll be out there in 15 minutes. Why, is she conscious? Well
have Steve and his guys
go out to the farm ASAP. As old as she is, she's
gonna need an ambulance. Robert, yes, the whole
treatment. All right. Yep. - Chief! - Yeah? - Forgot your lunch. - Oh, thank you. - You're welcome. Don't forget, Emily's
softball game is today. - Oh, how could I
forget that, huh? You're gonna choke up on
that bat like I taught you. - Yeah, I will. - I'll be rooting for you. - Okay, thanks. - Oh! (laughing) - [Sheriff] Whoa! - I'm fine. I'm fine. - Be careful out there. - Ar
e you kidding? In this town? - Love you. - Okay, here we are... Shoot. Okay. Here we are at base camp 237, beginning phase one of
Operation Moon Ballon. As you can see, this is my
lovely assistant, Michael. He's my biological brother. Why and how I'm related to
such an inferior species, my mind will never comprehend. - Want me to drop
this on your head? - [Shawn] No, you may continue. (dramatic music) - Come on, Robert. What the hell? (ominous music) Robert? Is all that tape really
necessary? -
Hey, Sheriff. (laughing) - Christ, Steve. - Every time, so good. - Man, how many
times have I told you? You can not do
stuff like that on site. It's unprofessional. - Yeah. Do I work for you? Oh no, that's right. Barney Fife does. Tough break. - Real funny. Wise ass. - Good to see you. - Yeah, you too. You are unbelievable. And you. Robert, did you get a little
tape-happy this morning? What's the story there? - Sorry if I went a
little overboard. It's not everyday I get to
set up an office crime
scene. - I gave him a coloring book
to try and keep him occupied. But the tape was just too shiny. - You know what,
ever since we were kids, it's always with the jokes. Are you ever gonna grow up? - You're right. Serious question though. Does Carol have your balls
in a jar beneath the sink or is it like a
Tupperware situation? - See? - All right, guys, enough
of the shenanigans you guys. I's too early in the
morning for this, all right? - What crawled up your butt? - Sorry. Michael came and pic
ked
up Shawn this morning. Didn't tell me
where they're going. Don't know where they are. - You want me to
put it out on the radio? Have the fellas keep an eye out? - No. It's okay, Robert. So what's the story
with Martha, here? Did she and Ted
get into it again? - Honestly, man, none of this makes any sense. - We did get some of the
story from dispatch though. - What'd you hear? - Well, Roberto, caretaker of
the place, says he hears Martha
screaming bloody murder. Takes off from the barn
over t
here, comes over. Finds her on the ground
screaming, "The tall man! "The tall man took
Ted into the field!" And then she passes out. - And she ran, what? All the way from the truck. That's gotta be 80 yards. Something like that. - [Steve] More like, about 91. - I might say an even 88. - You didn't even play football. - Okay, so it was
a touchdown, right? Are we agreed on that? A football field. - Something must've scared
the bejesus out of herfor her to run that far. She is not a runner. - No, s
he's real old. - Thanks, Steve. What about the dead cow? Animal attack? Coyote maybe? - I'm not so sure about that but it looks like the stomach
just kind of exploded. - Roberto would know if
they had any coyote problems around here, wouldn't he? - Maybe. - Hey, Roberto. (speaking Spanish) (speaking Spanish) - Translation? - Basically, when he
was a little kid, his grandma used
to tell him stories about a creature or
something called a Kukulkan and it'd come get him if
he didn't go to sleep. But
he's saying
it's real and it's here. - The Kukulkan? And what is that, exactly? (speaking Spanish) (ominous music) - War serpent. - Great. Appreciate it, chief. Adios. - So he speaks English? - Apparently. (dramatic music) - Okay, here we are at our
command center, where we have our trusted
computers, a hard drive and... Just start with an introduction
of myself and the project. I'll edit this in later. Hi, I'm Shawn Neary
and I'm about to embark on an ambitious mission. I will be the youngest
scientist-- - You're not a scientist. - I will be the
youngest scientist to send a camera 20 miles
into the upper atmosphere and capture amateur
video of space. Okay. Here, we have our
trusty command center where we have our laptops
and my mini satellite dish which will hopefully receive
and record video signal from our space shuttle,
the Neary One. She will transmit, via live
feed, to the computers, which will then download
on to a hard drive and... (metal clinking) What the heck do you think
y
ou're doing? - Trying to annoy you. - Well you succeeded. - I'm messing with you, bro. Look, your project's
going to be a success. I'm here to help
you all I can, okay? - Hey, man, thanks for using your spring
break to help me out with this. It means a lot and I'm just
glad you decided to come. - Of course. I'm always here for you, bro. Besides, college has
many breaks. The whole thing is pretty much
one big vacation actually. You'll see. - Actually, college isn't
necessary. This project is my
a
pplication to Sky Watch. - Sky Watch? What's Sky Watch? - They're a group of people at the
University of Puerto Rico'sLunar and Planetary Laboratory. They study the statistics
of comets and asteroids in order to investigate
the dynamic evolution of the solar system. - Okay, Einstein. Before you go shipping
off into deep space, why don't you show me how all
this works? - Einstein was a physicist,
not an astronomer. - Yes. Yes, of course. - All right, Robert, I
want you to get back. Put out an APB
on this
tall man, all right? Anybody over six feet. Any stranger's gonna
stick out in this town. - Yes, sir. - You don't think
that' a little vague? Anybody over six feet? Hello, I could be a suspect. - Why would that
surprise anyone? - Nice. - I'll get on it right away. - So Ted was taken into a field. Do we know where this field is? I would assume there's a trail. - Yes. - Yes. - [Robert] Yes. - And did we follow it, guys? - Yes. - Yes? Good answer. And what did we find? What? What? - Let's s
how him the slime. - Slime? (ominous music) (squelching) (eerie music) What is that? - [Robert] That... We have no idea what that is. - Robert, get back
to the office. Get going on
that APB, all right? - Yes sir, right away. - Hey. Let me know as
soon as Martha wakes up. - [Robert] Yes, sir. - [Sheriff] I wanna get a
statement going.I wanna get a composite as well. - Okay, who do you wanna
use to do the composite? I've seen Polly's art. It aint that good. - Why don't you try Jane? She's a pretty
good artist. - Emily's teacher? - Ask her if she'll do
us a favor, all right? - Okay, I'm on it. (ominous music) - You know, if Ted
was indeed dragged through this whole cornfield, he would've broken
every bone in his body. Right? - Whoever was dragging him
woulda been having to move at a pretty fast clip
to clear this path. - Yeah, but there's no blood. - That's not all. Hey, come on, look at this. (ominous music) - Oh man. What in the hell? - I don't get it, man. How can somebody
drag a guy t
hrough thisand then just disappear
like it's nothing? You think we're dealing
with a real murder case? - Steve, slow down, man. You know, we don't even have a body yet. For all I know, Ted could be chasing
one of his cows, trying to stop it from getting
away, man, I don't know. Look, I'm not gonna start
jumping to conclusions. I don't want the whole town getting into a panic
over nothing. - All right. - This is way more than you
and I can handle alone, man. We're gonna have to get
a search party
going. - Okay. You want me to call my guys? - No. Keep them as backup. Let's get some of the
local farmers involved, see if they'd be
willing to help out. Ted's 89 years old. You know, I mean, he can't be that far. (ominous music) - Or can he? - Oh, will you give
me a break, man? - Momma always said
you were closed-minded. - Dad always said
you were gullible. - Good one. He didn't really
say that, did he? (laughing) That's messed up. Be safe, dude. - [Sheriff] You too, brother. (foreboding musi
c) - [Shawn] Continuing on. - You ready, Shawn? - This is the Neary One and we are going
to send it into space with the help
of a weather balloon. Here, in the forward
control thrust, we have a pen-sized camera which will record 24 frames
per second at 1080p HD into the internal hard drive. Down here, under the belly,
we have a GPS tracking device, which transmits coordinates
to my GPS tracker down here on Earth. Now, I estimate that
the weather balloon should carry the
Neary One 20 miles or 105
thousand, 600 feet. Just scratching the upper
atmosphere. As it reaches max altitude, the weather ballon will burst and the parachute will deploy, slowing it's decent to Earth. I should capture
amazing footage, never before recorded
by a civilian. Ever since the day
John F. Kennedy announced his mission to the
moon until today, NASA owned the skies. Today, I, Shawn Neary,
will go where no man-- - [Michael] Boy. - Has gone before. (seagulls squawking) Okay, it's a beautiful
day with low winds an
d the FAA has given
us clearance to launch. As you can see, the
Neary One's been equipped with the necessary devices and is now being attached
to the weather balloon. Okay, now we're going to begin filling the weather
ballon with helium. (balloon squealing) (groaning) No, you're doing it wrong. (dramatic music) (tires screeching) - [Soldier] Let's go, guys!
Out of the truck, come on! Get the cargo, let's go! Off the lid, on the ground. Let's go, double time! - Hold, sir. - Whoa, easy. What's goi
ng on here? - Nothing to worry about, sir. We're just preparing for a
routine training exercise. - Routine training exercise? On whose authority? - The United States Army. I'm Corporal Carpio and local authorities have
been notified by my superiors. Again, sir, this is just a-- - Routine training
exercise, yeah. I get it corporal. What I don't get is, one, I'm the only authority
in this town and I haven't been
notified of anything and two, this base has been
abandoned for over a decade. Listen,
as small
as this town is, I'm responsible
for the people in it. If there's something going on, I need do know about it. - Sir, we'll let you know if your
assistance is required. Have to get back to my post. (somber music) - Right. Why do I have a feeling I won't
be getting that phone call? - Okay, let's start the
countdown. We're go for liftoff
in T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Ignition. We have liftoff! (exciting music) Catch it, mom. (somber music) - Robert,
in my office, please. - [Robert] Yes, sir? - First off, how many times do
I have to tell you? Stop with the "sir," okay? - You're my superior, John. I think it's only professional. - Look, as your
superior officer, I'm ordering you, stop with the "sir," okay? - Yes... All right. - Okay. Now have we gotten any
calls into this is office about the army moving into the
old base, conducting some kind
of training exercise? - No call from the army. But we did get a lot of
calls from the locals who sur
e noticed their
presence in town today. - Yeah, yeah. I mean, how can you miss them? They're rolling in like
they own the place. I haven't seen anybody
over in that old base, except for old Henry when
he's cutting the grass. - Yeah, he has a contract
with the government to keep the place
operational, I think. Do you want me to
give him a call and see if he knows anything? - Yeah. Yeah, that wouldn't hurt. - There is something else. - Plate's not full enough today? What is it? - I stopped by the
McTiernan
farm on the way back in town. All two dozen of their
cows were found dead with their stomachs burst open. Just like Ted's place. - [John] What? - Yep and no blood. - So now it's Ted's farm
and the McTiernan's, right? - Uh uh. We're actually having
similar reports infrom the entire county. - What? - Not to ruin the wonderful,
god-given experience, but it's almost like... - Like what? Like what, Robert? Don't keep me in suspense. - Like when my wife
gave birth to our kids. - Okay, thanks
for that. - No blood. Just this oozing slime
and wet air. - Okay, yes, thank you
for the image, I appreciate it. All right, get some
deputies out to these farms. Start getting some
statements going. I wanna know what kind of issues they've been having
with their livestock. When it all started happening. - Will do. Do you think this could
be some kind of pandemic? - Highly doubt it. Lord help us if it is. I mean, we're not equipped to
deal with anything like this. - John, we just got a
call from
the hospital. Martha just woke up and she's
speaking with the nurses. - Good, good. All right. Robert, have Steve call
me over at the hospital.I wanna get that
search up, ASAP. - Sure thing but don't you
want me with you on the search? - No, Steve and I
got that covered. I want you to start on
those statements, all right? And call Henry. I wanna know what's going
on at that army base. - Okay. Right away. - Oh and don't forget Emily's
softball game this afternoon. (wind whooshing) - Well assumin
g this thing didn't get sucked
into a jet engine, we should probably pack up
and start tracking it, huh? - Oh no. We won't get any coordinates
until it starts its descent. Probably won't even
get a video signal. Need to check the satellite since they're so far out in
outer space. I need a boost
from another source. Which is impossible. - What about your sat dish? - Short range. Not even close
to powerful enough. - Why is it even here? - Scientist must have his toys. - So you mean you're full of
it. (chuckling) - You could say that. - So how is Dad? - He's okay, I guess. Works long hours, comes home late. I think he still really
missed you around the house. I just don't feel at home. - Well, dad and I were
always really close. Just like you and Mom
were really close. Dad just misses the
way things used to be when we were all
together as a family. - I guess you're right. I just wish I was more like you. You know? - More like me? I wish I was more like you. You're a hell of a lot
smarter
than I am, Shawn. I mean, look at what
you're doing. A kid your age thinking
about space exploration? Me, I just pissed
high school away. Having fun, going to parties. Kinda like I'm doing now. (chuckling) - Yeah but you always
had the buddies and even girlfriends. Man, I'm known as Michael
Neary's little nerd brother. I feel like a complete
outcast sometimes. - Shawn, look at me. You are not an outcast. Okay? People are just afraid of
what they don't understand. You're on a completely
different
level and it won't take long for
them to figure that out. I promise. - How would you know? Man, you were the popular one. And any brother would say that. - You remember what
Mom used to say? Everybody has something about
them that makes them special. The trick is you have to
figure out what it is. Shawn, you have figured it out and you're the most special
person I've ever met. (pleasant music) - I miss her. - So do I. (office commotion) - Hey, Martin. - Johnathon, good to see you. - Yeah, yeah.
- You taking care of yourself? - Yeah, I'm good. - Yeah? The kids all right? - Kids are good, yeah. We're good. Still a bit of an
adjustment period. - That's good to hear. Well I assume you're
here to see Martha. - Yeah, I heard she's awake. I'm gonna go ask her a
few questions, all right? Good seeing you. - Hey, John, do you mind if
we speak just a minute more? - Of course. Yeah, what is it? - Well, we ran some blood
tests on Martha and found-- - What? - She has acute
radiation syndrome. - How
is that possible? - I don't know. But see, she has
high blood pressure. So every month we
do blood panels on her. So I went back to the
chart three weeks ago and there was nothing. There were no abnormalities. Her blood cell count was normal. But now it's dropping
like her IV is hooked up to
a nuclear reactor. - That's weird. I mean, besides exhaustion, she seemed to want peace. - Well, I'll tell you what
I find even more troubling. She doesn't present
the normal symptoms of nausea or vomiting
or
abnormal pain. But with numbers like these, my god, she may
not last the night. (ominous music) (heat monitor beeping) - Jane, thank you for
coming on such short notice. I really appreciate it. - No problem at all,
you know me. Plus, it takes me
out of the house and away from grading papers. - Good. How's she doing? - She's been in and
out of it all day. They have her
pretty heavily sedated. Apparently when she came to, she thought she was
still on the farm and she was screaming
at the top of
her lungs about the tall man. - Tall man, I've
heard this before. - I did have her
describe him to me and I do have a sketch for you. - Great. What is this, Jane? - John, that's exactly
what she described to me. (Martha whimpering) - Martha? Martha, can you hear me? Martha? Martha? Martha? - Grandma. - Martha, I need you to tell
me what happened this morning. Okay? I need you to tell me
what happened to Ted. - It's my fault. - [John] What's your fault,
Martha? - I prayed to God and he made it h
appen. They... They took my poor husband. - Who's they, Martha? Who took Ted? (eerie music) - Devils. There are devils
everywhere, John. (ominous music) We were not pure in our souls. We were not kind to each other. We... We... That's why they've come. They've come to take all of us. Yes. And it is my fault. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Oh, I'm so sorry. They've come to take us all. (somber music) (sighing) - So where did you come up
with the idea for this anyways? -
Well, it was at Emily's
birthday party. (pleasant music) She had all her friend's over. (sparklers fizzling) (cheering) They were all having
such a great time. (cheering) And there she was. (pleasant music) - You shoulda pushed
that kid out of the way and talked to her. - The girl? - Yeah. - No. Even if I had the courage to, I would've totally
missed the sign. - The sign? What sign? - The balloon. Had I spent my
time talking to that girl, it would've meant the balloon
going up without me seeing
it. It was all part of her plan. - Well, I guess that's
one way to look at it. Well, I hope we're done by five. I gotta kick it with
Bill and Tim tonight. Got big plans. - We're not gonna
be back by five. - What're you
talking about, dude? Shawn, they're throwing
me a welcome home party. I mean, I gotta be there. - This thing's going 20 miles
into the upper atmosphere. Once it pops, depending
on the wind direction, it could land anywhere within
a 30 to 60 mile radius. There's no telling where
th
is thing could land and it's imperative
that we find it or else this is all for nothing. - Well that's just great, bro. I thought this was only going
to last a couple of hours. - What gave you that idea? Man, okay, granted, I told
Shannon I'd be home by dinner, but that's not till 8:30. - I don't know, Shawn, I thought
we were gonna come out here and I'd fly this thing
on a kite or something. I didn't think we were gonna be exploring deep-frickin-space. - Sorry, dude. (ominous music) - Is that d
ude watching us? - [Shawn] Are you sure he's
watching us? - Yeah, he was
totally watching us. - Maybe it's just a park ranger checking on what we're going. - No. Didn't look like any park
ranger I've ever seen. Kinda creepy. (foreboding music) (phone ringing) - Yeah? All right, hold on one second. Hey, you know,
we gave it a shot. Jane, I really wanna
thank you for coming in. - Yeah, of course, anytime. - Oh and Jane, I think we should
probably keep this between you and me for now. - Sure, John,
I understand. - Steve, talk to me. - I got all the troops
gathered up here at the fruit tree orchard. We're right were the tracks
go off into oblivion, man. We're ready to rock
when you get here. - That's great. That's great. I'm here with Martha right now, but it looks like we're
hitting a dead end with her. - All right, well Stan,
Rick and Billy showed up fully loaded, man. I think things are
about to get weird. Hell, even Jurassic Bob
showed up. You need to get down here, man. - Hey, look, y
ou keep
those guys in line and keep them calm until
I get there, all right? - All right, bro, see you soon. - Oh, family. (phone ringing) - Neary residence, This is Emily, may I help you? - Hi, Emily, it's John. - Oh, hi John. Are you gonna go to my game? Me and mom were
just getting ready. - Sweetheart, I can't make
it to your game today. I'm stuck at work. Look, I'll totally make
it up to you, all right? Tomorrow we'll go out in the
yard, we'll play some catch and then I'll take you for
some i
ce cream afterwards, huh? How about that? - Okay. I'm totally up
for a little C and C.- "Catch and Cream," you got it. We're on. Is your Mom around? - She's getting ready. Do you want me to go get her? - [John] Just tell her that
I'll call her later, all right? - Okay. See ya. - Bye, hun. (whimpering) (ominous music) (menacing music) (electronic buzzing) (whimsical music) - Oh my god. It's working! Michael, it's working! Michael! It's working. We're getting a signal. (upbeat music) Oh my god, it
's working! The Neary One's
streaming live footage and we're recording! But how? This thing's not even
close to powerful enough. It shouldn't start streaming
till descent. - [Michael] Are we looking at
outer space? - No, it's the upper atmosphere
but we're really close. We did it! We actually did it! Thank you so much! I'm gonna be famous! - Hey! We will be famous. - Man, look at that! That's our planet. Can you believe how small
we are in the universe? (pleasant music) - Why is it bouncing
arou
nd like that? - Well, with the high
altitude, the atmosphere... What? - It stopped. (eerie music) What the hell is that, Shawn? Shawn? (ominous music) Shawn? Shawn, what the hell is that? Shawn?! - I don't know. (ominous music) - Holy shit! What are you doing? - Thermal. Invisibility cloak. - What? Thermal? Invisibility cloak? Shawn, what the hell
are you talking about? - I found it! I'm applying a thermal
filter to the footage. - Why? - Heat censoring. - What are you
talking about, Shawn?! (for
eboding music) (electrical buzzing) - We need to find that shuttle. (suspenseful music) Oh my god, Michael! We actually did it! We made contact with
extraterrestrials! Dude, my name will be in
every scientific journal. I'll be all over television. Okay, so the Neary One's been
descending for 15 minutes now. Yeah, here it is. Looks like it's touching
down 45 miles from us. Hopefully not in a lake or else
you'll be swimming, Michael. Michael? Hey, what're you doing? Michael, we can't stop here! We
need to get to the shuttle. - Aliens, Shawn! Aliens. I mean, what the hell? I just like... I mean... You know how this changes
everything, Shawn? You know how this... What this means? I mean, I don't know
what I mean. This is just a lot
for me to handle. - Michael. - I just need a minute.
I just need a minute. - It's okay. It's okay. We just need to get there. - Wouldn't the government
know about this? They have to know about this! I mean, what if they invade us?! - Michael, they've known
for a
very long time. - Okay, Mr. Conspiracy Theory. - It's a bit late to call
me that, don't you think? Jeez. We gotta call somebody. We gotta call the
cops or something. - Call the cops?! Are you insane?! Michael, we can't call the cops. - Okay, calm down. - Calm down?! Do you understand
what you're saying? If we call the cops, they'll definitely take the
footage away. They might even put us away. No one can know what we have. - We should at least call Dad. - Dad is the authorities. What don't you
understand? Man! We could even
get in trouble for-- - What? (coughing) We could even get in
trouble for what, Shawn? What?! - Remember when I said the FAA
gave us clearance to launch? - Yes, and? - They didn't. They sent me a letter of
denial earlier this week. - Oh, that's brilliant, Shawn. - Which makes total sense now. They don't want anyone
knowing about the aliens. - Come on, Shawn, they couldn't
possible have known about-- - Couldn't possibly what? What's not remotely possible
after what w
e've just seen? Hmm? (engine rumbling) - I just wanted to
get laid tonight. - Oh god. (people cheering) - Let's go! Get on out there, Shandra. Danae. What's your name? It doesn't matter, hit
a home run. Let's go!(crowd cheering) - Go pirates! Let's go! - All right, come on! Let's get in there
and make a home run! (crowd clapping) (cheering) (clapping) - Woo hoo! Hey, Shannon. - Hi, Diane. - How you doing? - I'm good. How're you doing? - Oh good, good. - [Coach] All right, who's next? Let's go! L
et's go! Let's go! Get in there! - Let's go, Pirates! Come on, win that game! Go! Go! Go! - So things are good between
you and John, I assume. Right? - Yeah, of course. Yeah, thanks for being
concerned. - Good. I'm so glad that he's doing
so well after everything. I mean, Laurie, she as just
a really good friend of ours. He's been lucky. He's got you here
to get him through it. - Right. Well thank you for
your concern, Diane. I really appreciate that. - That's what I'm here for. - Go Pirates! Le
t's go! Woo hoo! - Some of the other mothers
and I, we were talking. You know, about what
happened this morning. At poor Ted and Martha's. Do you know how
Martha's holding up? - No. I mean, Johnny doesn't
bring anything home. He just doesn't want
to upset me, you know? So this is probably one
of those local disputes or something, I'm sure. - Go! That's right! Run that base! Go! (cheering) - Shannon, you don't
know what happened? You really don't
know what happened? - Is it their infamous fight?
What? What could it be? - No. Supposedly this group of men kidnapped Ted. They were tall and Martha
tried to fight them off but they left her for dead
on the side of the road. - Are you kidding me? - No. That's what I heard. - [Girl] Let's go! Come on! Let's go, Emily! - There's Emily. She looks so
cute in the uniform. Emily! - Emily. Emily. Listen, I need you to keep
your eye on the ball, okay? Follow it all the way in. Remember what we talked about? You're gonna, it's gonna. Okay, you got this
. Great, okay. I'll be... Just... Okay. All right, okay. Okay, here we go. - Emily! (popping) (cheering) - Woo! Woo! I did it! I did it! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! (wind whooshing) (ominous music) (wind howling) - Emily? (ominous music) (car alarms beeping) (dogs barking) Are you okay? - Mhmm. - See if we can call John again. (busy signal beeping) (men arguing) - Come on, Shannon, pick up. - I don't know why
I can't get through. I'll try to call one more time. (busy signal beeping) - For Christ sakes.
(men arguing) (men yelling) - John is here now. He's going to explain the
plan to everybody, okay? (men arguing) - I see you got this. - Do something. - All right. All right, hey. Let's all settle down. Let's quiet down. Just settle down, all right? - Everybody! Everybody, shut up! - Thank you, Bob. - [Bob] Yeah, whatever. - All right, look. I wanna thank everybody
for coming out today.I know it's hot out here but I know I can speak
for everybody when we say we're all thinking about Martha, hopi
ng her a
speedy recovery, all right? - We can also say we
come bearing great gifts for the men who kidnapped my
Uncle Ted. - This is not a manhunt. It's a search and rescue, guys. There's been no signs of
any suspicious activity. - How could you say that,
Sheriff? We've all seen the
government moving in here with their military vehicles and Ted going missing
adds fuel to the fire. - Yeah! Ever since they moved in, there's been
nothing but unexplained, weird things going on. I mean, look at our l
ivestock. Our cows are dropping dead
like flies, right and left. - They have stomachs ripped open like some kind of voodoo
experiment gone wrong. - Something sure
spooked my cows. They won't even step out
into the pasture to graze. - Have to admit, Sheriff. It can't all be coincidence, this weird stuff happening
when they move into town.- First they take out livestock, then they're gonna
come take our lands and next thing you know, they're gonna want our guns and we will fight! (men yelling) - T
his is about to go
sideways. Do something. - Yeah, I know. - Hey, look, nobody's gonna take
your life stock. Nobody's gonna take your land. - But how do you know, Sheriff? Do you have any answers at all to what's going on around here? - No, all right. At this point in time, I don't
have all the facts, guys. But I do know that
Ted's out there and he's probably
hurt and needs our help. The longer we stay here,
fighting amongst ourselves, the longer he's out there
needing us. Okay? - You're right,
Sheriff. We're with you. Right everyone? - Yeah, old Ted was
my chief in the Navy. As brave as they come and we never leave
one of ours behind. So we're with you, Sheriff. - Oh please, let me know
what's happening here! Come on! - This isn't a manhunt. I'm asking you all, hand over your weapons. - Oh, no, no, no. No way. - It's a precaution. I don't want anybody
getting hurt out there. - See, it's starting now! This is marshal law. - Rick, hey, I don't want
any trouble from you today, all right?
We're all heading out
in these fields together and the last thing we need is somebody to get
shot on accident. Steve, here, is gonna
collect your guns. - Thanks. - Hey, everyone's gonna
get their guns back at the end of the day. It's a promise, all right? - My cold dead hands. - [Steve] Seriously? - Rick. - Now I want us all heading out
into these fields behind me. I wanna split up into
groups of two. We can cover more ground
that way, all right? Billy? - Yes, Sheriff? - Hey, I want you to
high
tail it out front. All right, take the lead. Steve and I will be in the back. You whistle out if you
hear anything, understood? - I'd be honored
too, sir, will do. - Grab the revolver. (sighing) - Thought you weren't
expecting any trouble. - Close encounters, man. - That's actually a good idea. Before we get started,
I wanted to ask. Martha, you didn't
get anything from her? - I ran into Dr. Martin. He said she's suffering
from radiation poisoning. High doses. She's not gonna make
it through the
night. - Radiation? - Yeah and get this. Jane, her sketch, (chuckling) it looks like a-- - Like what? - A demon. - The tall man? - Look, it coulda
been the medication. She was doped up pretty good. - You heard from the boys? - No, why? - I didn't want to bring it up. - Jeez, you got
my attention now. What is it? - There's this book
I gave Shawn. Sort of an old fireman's manual on how to deal
with emergency situations. There's a chapter in there
that deals with aliens and how to combat an attack
if they ever invaded. (chuckling) - You're yanking my chain,
right? Come on, Steve. - Listen, stick with me. None of us too it seriously
in rookie training, okay? We passed it off as
some B.S. from the '50s, but think about it. Ted missing. Martha sick. The cows. The Military
coming into town. You don't think something
really weird is going on? - You believe that Ted was... Abducted? Aliens? Space ships overhead? I mean, what're
you talking about? - It's stupid. You're right. - Right? Am I righ
t? - Yeah. Let's go. - You are something else, man. (suspenseful music) - How much further is it, Shawn? - Not too far, now. Eventually you'll have to
pull over to Jenjuin's Trail. Looks like it finally
landed five miles from us in the Paiute Indian park range. - Jenjuins. That's a weird name. - Highly appropriate. Paiute Indians were known for
creating stories of Jenjuins, or flying canoes. Golden strangers coming
down from the skies. - Fly canoes, yeah. Let's just hope they have good
intention
s. - At least we know they exist. Man, this is like
finding the missing link. - Yeah, except for Sasquatch
won't zap you with his ray gun. Put your head in a jar for
examination. - Here it is! Pull over here by this trail. It's gonna be great. (adventurous music) - You ready for this, Shawn? - Yep. Let's do it. (pleasant music) (ominous music) - [Michael] You sure you're
reading that thing right, bro? - [Shawn] Yeah, we're
going the right direction. Shouldn't be too far now. Half a mile. - [Mich
ael] You think anybody
else knows about them? - Of course, man. Alien sightings have been
reported for centuries starting with the Mayans. You go to their temples in
Mexico and you can see the evidence
carved all across their walls. Too bad that the government
takes away all the evidence. They've been putting down
conspiracy theorists for years. Most people think it's
a joke simply because it's how the government
wants it to me perceived. - You're something else,
Shawn, you know that? - Dad says
that to me a lot. - [Michael] Why do you think
they're here? - [Shawn] Probably to study us. - [Michael] They traveled all
this way just to probe our butts? Yeah, I doubt that, Shawn. - [Shawn] Travel for them
isn't like travel for us. They travel by interdimensional
means. Interstellar travel. They travel from universe to
universe through wormholes, until now, anyway. - [Michael] What got
you into all this stuff? - [Shawn] What? - [Michael] You know,
Aliens, conspiracy theories. I've never met
anybody so
passionate about this stuff. - [Shawn] I think I've always
been fascinated by the truth. And I think mom taught me
that there's more to life than we see everyday. (dramatic music) (ominous music) - When this gets out,
everything's gonna change. Society, religion. - I don't think so. I think that history
has shown us that in times of great peril-- (growling) - Oh shit! - What are you doing? What's wrong? (growling) - The trees. - Oh my god. Michael, there's nothing there. Dude, there'
s nothing there. It's probably a
raccoon or something. Jeez, so much for bonding. - I just got startled
is all, Shawn. (chuckling) - That's ammunition
for later, my friend. - [Michael] Oh, you want
ammunition? How about I leave you in the
wood with your alien friends? - Oh no, dude, come on. - [Michael] So tough. - Oh, come on man. - Last one up the hill
gets their butt probed. (upbeat music) (dramatic music) Whoa. (flies buzzing) (eerie music) Ugh. Hey. Maybe we shouldn't. - [Shawn] Cow mutilat
ion. - You think that they had something
to do with it? - What else would? - I don't know. Leatherface. - Be serious. I did hear a theory about
cows being used an incubators. Maybe most of these are female. - Baby aliens. Fantastic. - We need to document
this for posterity. - Jesus. So many of them. I'm never eating a
hamburger again. (ominous music) - Look, Micheal, there it is! We found it! - Great. Great, bro. I didn't think I'd be
climbing trees today. (groaning) - Hop to it, old man. - God,
I spoil you. - [Shawn] Come on, we need
to get to that shuttle. - Hey, I gotta protect the bod. Keep your panties on. - [Shawn] Go! - You're about to do it
yourself. - [Shawn] Come on, Michael,
you're almost there. - How's it look? - Perfect condition. We can check the footage
when we get back to the... (ominous music) - I wanna see that creepy
freaking alien ship again. (foreboding music) Shawn. Shawn, what do we do? (alien buzzing) (menacing music) Shawn. Shawn! Shawn! (foreboding music) - Wa
ke up, my sweet boy. Shawn, honey, watch the sky. - What's gonna happen, Mom? - You'll see, watch. (pleasant music) There they are. - Oh, wow. - Isn't it beautiful? - It's amazing. (pleasant music) (chiming) - Shawn, honey? - Yeah, what is it, Mom? - I have to talk to you
about something, okay? - What's wrong? - I'm... - Yeah, what is it? - I just want you to
know that I love you with all my life. And no matter what happens,
I will always be with you. - I know, Mom. I love you too. - I know. Alw
ays. (pleasant music) Keep watching. - It's beautiful. (chiming) - Oh my gosh, the shuttle! They left it. (groaning) - My head. Did they probe me? I don't feel any different. - Michael, look,
they left the shuttle. They didn't take it. (somber music) - Shawn. Shawn, we gotta get
that to the authorities. We gotta get that to dad. - I can't believe
what just happened. - They showed me something. What is it, buddy? - I saw... I saw... - What? - Mom. I saw her again, Michael. - I don't understand, h
ow? - This whole experiment, I was just trying to contact mom and tell her how much
I love and miss her. - Oh, Shawn. Mom's not in a place that-- - I know, I know. I just thought this would
bring me closer to her somehow. God, it was so real. I can actually smell
and touch her again. And that night, that night she knew
she was sick. That's why she brought
me to the field. She wanted to tell
me but she couldn't. - I miss her too, buddy. (sobbing) (dramatic music) Shawn. Shawn, look at me. They sh
owed me something too. Something horrible. We have to get to Dad. You understand? (ominous music) (foreboding music) (dramatic music) - It's no coincidence
we found them. They lead us to that tree. They wanted to make contact. There's gotta be
some sort of message they want us to deliver. But to who? - We gotta get home. What I'm talking about is they let us have that
for a reason, Shawn. Gotta get home. Gotta get this to
Dad right away. - Okay, well for safety reasons, I don't think we should
t
ell anybody about this-- - No, Shawn, we have to
get this to the pubic! - What'd they show you? - It wasn't good. I think we overstayed our
welcome. (crickets chirping) - Hey. Maybe we should
call it for the night. I mean, we've been
searching for ours and Ted's trail went
cold miles ago. - We're all about spent. - It's too dark out here, boss. Does our families no good
if we all get lost out here. - We're way off the reservation. I don't even know
whose land we're on. - I think it's the
governm
ent's now. - Oh yeah. Isn't this Henry's old place? - This is Henry's land. - Was until they sold it to
Uncle Sam some years ago. - I used to hear some really
weird sounds coming from this place
when we were kids. We used to play up in those
hills right up over there. - Yeah, my dad used to
tell us ghost stories, keep us up at night. Used to tell us there was an Indian burial
ground around here but we never did find it. - Are you kidding me? Indian burial ground? Can we not hang out right here?
- Exactly when did
Henry sell this land? - [Billy] Hey, everybody! I found something! (ominous music) - What is it, Billy? - I was taking a leak
under this tree, here, when I looked up. (unsettling music) - How the hell did
it get way up there? - What in the name
of sweet baby Jesus? - I want everyone to get
home as soon as possible. Got it? Split up into groups of
two, just like before. I don't want anyone getting
lost out here, all right? - You got it, Sheriff. (ominous music) - Call your guys
out,
cut him down from there. What in the hell are
we dealing with, Steve? - I don't know. (dramatic music) (suspenseful music) - [Michael] The cows, all right? They're using them. You're right, they're using
them to make some kind of army. - An army? What are they gonna do, attack? - Right. They let us have that
shuttle for a reason, Shawn. They're on our side but not
everyone's gonna make it. We have to get to dad. (suspenseful music) Come on, Shawn, have you
not filmed enough already? - No.
We need to document everything. Society needs to
know what happened. Okay, I'm grabbing the hard
drive from the shuttle. All right, now plugging
it into the computer. Let's hope for the best. Come on, come on. Okay, transferring footage. (buzzing) Here it is. We've got the entire flight
and footage of the UFO.(eerie muffled speaking) Wait a minute. There's some sort
of foreign language. I can't make it out. Do you hear that? - [Michael] Yeah, what is that? (eerie muffled speaking) - It stopped.
We need to figure
out what this means. - [Shannon] John? - [John] Yeah? - [Shannon] Are you okay? - [John] Yeah. - [Shannon] Why didn't
you answer your phone? - Because it died. - Well the boys are not here and I don't know where they are. - Wait, hold on,
the boys aren't back yet? - They didn't answer the phone, they were supposed
to be here for dinner.- They're not back yet? - No, they're not here. That's what I'm
trying to tell you and there was this
really awful cloud out at the softball fie
ld. - What? All right, all right, hold on. Just one second, all right? First thing I want you to do, I want you to call
Robert at the office. Tell him to put out the
word on the boys, okay? I'm sure they're fine. Michael probably just stopped
off for a bite to eat.But just call him and make sure
he puts out the word, okay? - All right. - And hey, look, we're
gonna find them, all right?Is Emily asleep? (dramatic music) - [Shawn Recording] Century Log
number 14. Just received a
letter denying my r
equest to launch the balloon. It's so disappointing. Just wanted to go by the book. Obey the FAA's
rules and regulations. However, I've decided to
continue the experiment and launch my shuttle into
space this weekend as scheduled. Just wish Dad was home. (ominous music) (suspenseful music) (engine puttering) - It just died on you? - I don't understand. There's plenty of gas. It didn't just run out. - Maybe it's the battery. Should we go out and check? Shit. (thudding) What's that? (ominous music
) Michael, what's going on? Michael, what're we gonna do? - Oh my god. (ominous music) Stay really still, Shawn. - Stay? - Just be quiet. - Michael, we can't
just stay here. (shushing) - All right? Here's what we're gonna do. On the count of three, I'm gonna open the door
and we're gonna run. We're gonna run as fast
as we can, you understand? All right. One. Two. - Michael, they're
all around us. (booming) Michael! Michael! Michael! - Shawn! Shawn! (yelling) (dramatic music) - [Shawn Recording]
Anyway, I've decided to continue
with the experiment and launch my shuttle into
space this weekend as scheduled. It's just one balloon in the
entire sky. What could happen? Neary out. (ominous music) - [Boy] So how
big was your fish? - [Girl] Bigger than yours. - Yeah, mine was pretty big. - Yeah but mine was bigger. - Hey, mine was pretty big. - What do you mean? You didn't even catch any fish. - Yeah I did. - No, you didn't. - Why is there all these? - Look at all this broken glass. Hey, over
there. - How did this thing
end up out here? - Look, the red light's on. - Does that mean it's still
recording. - I think so. - Looks like it. - Should we contact the police? Someone might have lost this. - Well, we should watch it first. - Hit the stop button. - Okay. (beeping) (somber piano music) (somber piano music) (adventurous music)
