You're awake.
Where's the costume party?
Just precautionary measures until you're discharged.
Oh, I don't know. I think I might borrow this for Halloween.
What do you think?
Congratulations on your first successful mission, Sam.
Thank you.
Happy to be back?
No.
No, I could have stayed up there forever.
Though, when I feel better, I would love a cheeseburger.
Think we can arrange that?
Sam, can you describe to me how you're feeling?
Um...
heavy, dizzy.
I saw that pen float.
Anti-gravity hallucination.
All to be expected.
What's going on here?
A scan showed deep swelling, but no fracture.
You probably slammed it on impact.
We lost communication with you on re-entry, Sam.
What happened up there?
I got the splashdown coordinates from Mission Control.
Everything seemed to be on track.
And...
And then I hit something, maybe?
Do you know when you lost consciousness?
I guess in pre-fall.
Oh.
Is everything okay?
Something punctured your capsule and shattered your helmet.
What do you think it was?
Could have been meteor debris.
We're testing the particles we found on your space suit.
You're lucky you survived.
There she is!
Mommy!
Busy Izzy! Hi!
I missed you so much!
I miss you more.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
They just, they're making me stay in this funny chair for a while.
But look, I'm okay.
Daddy, you miss Mommy too, right?
Look who's here.
Grandpa!
Hey, Pumpkin.
- Mark. - Good to see you, Will.
You too.
How you doing, kiddo?
Okay.
You did not have to come here.
My daughter just returned from her first mission in space.
I'm not supposed to come? No.
The team just filled me in on what happened.
Sounds like a very close call.
We're all very glad that you're okay.
Yeah, me too.
Actually, uh, the Pentagon's gonna join NASA on this one.
Really?
We're working on decoding electrical frequencies
that we picked up during your re-entry.
So there's mutual interest.
There's been a media frenzy about your landing.
The department has secured a beautiful house nearby for your recovery.
Out of the spotlight.
You and Izzy won't have to deal with any of that stuff.
Hey, will you come visit Mommy, huh?
Yeah, yes, of course.
Come in.
Sorry to interrupt.
We need to run a few more tests before you're cleared and prepped for a transpo.
But then you'll be all done with quarantine.
Okay, time to go.
We'll see you soon.
Say bye to Mommy, sweetheart.
Hey, when I see you next, I'm gonna give you
the biggest hug in the whole world, okay?
Remember what we talked about, okay?
Okay.
Who do I love?
Me.
Can't hear you. Who do I love?
- Me. - Yeah.
See you soon.
I'll see you soon.
You want this for a bit, Captain?
I'm okay.
- Are you sure? - Yeah. Thank you.
Okay.
Welcome.
Ugh.
Body's re-acclimating to gravity.
Careful pushing yourself too hard.
Don't want you passing out on us.
This really is something.
Your dad's very proud of you.
To an embarrassing degree.
Well, we'll give you the tour.
- Okay? - Mm-hmm.
Ten acres of Virginia wilderness only 30 minutes from D.C.
It's a bit nicer than my place.
Apparently the government bought this land in the 50s for weapons testing.
General Harris tells us it's just mostly housing for diplomats now.
Next house is miles away.
Oh.
Sounds like a horror movie.
The house is two stories.
Up here we have the bathroom, library, fully stocked kitchen, dining,
and living room.
In the nook back there is where we'll do some of your medical tests.
This is amazing.
Downstairs there's three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a den, and a home gym.
Which is about to be your new best friend because, as you know, atrophies.
A bitch.
Yes, ma'am.
And should you miss space?
I used to have one just like this.
Ah!
- What's wrong? - Just a ringing.
Okay, tonight is super calm and just wait it out.
It'll pass.
- Feel better? - Yeah.
Thank you.
I know you were briefed pre-flight, but just as a reminder, expect everything
from nausea to dizziness, fever, nosebleeds, hallucinations.
The human body takes time to remember how to function on Earth.
Right.
The more you report back to us, the better we'll be able to determine if
we need to consider delaying future missions.
Delaying future missions?
If you exhibit any unusual symptoms or severe side
effects, we can't just send you back to training.
All right. Um...
So, sorry, I'm just... I'm supposed to go out to the ISS in, um, two months.
Honestly.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Obviously, I'd rather have you monitored at base, but I don't want to step on any toes.
We'll be here every morning at 7.30 on the dot, so make sure you're up and ready.
You get plenty of rest.
Copy that.
These next few days will be over before you know it.
If you need anything, just call us.
See you tomorrow.

I love you all so badly ♪ ♪ Don't you know that I love you madly ♪ ♪ I can't stay

Holy shit you're alive!
Val!
I've never held my breath for so long.
Don't ever do that to me again.
Please!
I know.
They're still trying to figure out what happened to me.
That's all everybody's talking about.
I'm sure.
Okay, look.
Look what I'm saying.
Oh!
Here in like a nice, swanky, chic oasis.
And I didn't get an invite.
Sam?
Hello?
Sam, what is it?
Sam?
Sorry. Um... I just thought I... I thought I saw something.
Sorry.
So you're dying to get back up there?
First time in space is such a tease.
I've never felt more at home than I did when I was up there.
You're more obsessed with space than anybody I know.
And that's saying a lot.
I am starting to feel symptoms, though.
I had a nosebleed.
Girl, remember in training they tell you to report everything?
I'm telling you don't.
Even if you feel horrible, keep it to your damn
self because they will never let you fly again.
I know. I'm not gonna tell them any of this.
I already know that.
I mean, I may as well be Wonder Woman at this point.
They get a whiff that your immune system isn't working and you're sick or
something, they'll demote you to clean and puke off the motion simulator.
I literally can't think of anything worse.
Listen, you want to go back to space, you have to downplay everything.
Your symptoms will take a while to go away,
but next time around this will all feel normal.
It's just because it's your first time.
Alright, you rest up.
I'm gonna come visit you at your oasis.
I love you.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
Bye.
Hello?
Just in the kitchen.
Good morning.
The medical team's here if you're ready.
I'll be right there.
You alright?
Yeah.
I think it's just a cramp.
It's passing.
It's just a cramp.
The electrolytes will make you feel good as new.
I think I'm past electrolytes.
Day one's intense.
What are the rest of the days like?
The more we can monitor your progress, the more
data we can collect to better the space program.
Well, I'm happy to be of service.
How's the tinnitus?
It hasn't happened again.
Awesome.
Any more hallucinations?
No.
You'll be back in flying shape in no time.
Just relax the rest of the day.
We'll be back same time again tomorrow.
OK.
Make sure to stretch.
Ugh!
Oh.
Hey.
Hey, can you see me?
Yeah, I can see you. Can you see me?
Yeah.
Hey, um...
I was thinking...
When I get out of here, why don't we go on a family trip, huh?
Just the three of us.
On the beach somewhere.
I don't know if that's a good idea, Sam.
Why not?
I just don't think it's healthy for Izzy to see
us together if that's not how it's gonna be.
Come on.
We're still figuring things out, but we're a family.
Sam, we almost lost you.
We almost lost you.
I want Izzy to have the family.
I didn't.
It's just been hard.
I know it was scary for you guys, but I'm...
I'm okay.
We're proud of you.
We know that you're...
one of a handful of people that do what you do.
We get it. But you've been M.I.A. for six months for training.
You're gonna be gone again for God knows how long?
For the next mission?
That... come on.
That's not fair.
You know how important this mission is to me.
And how important you are.
And... and Izzy.
I thought adopting was gonna bring us closer.
When you couldn't.
When we couldn't.
It did.
It has.
Mommy!
I made this for you.
Wow, sweetie, is that us?
That's me, Daddy, and you.
What's that up there?
Space people.
Ah, shit. It's the university. I gotta take this.
Come by and see you tomorrow, yeah?
Say bye to Mommy, baby.
Bye, Mommy. See you soon.
Bye, baby. I'll see you soon.
No.
Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you, Captain.
How are you feeling?
Oh, what is going on?
We found you outside.
Your head was pretty banged up.
Who's we?
Dad.
Sam.
You gave us quite a scare finding you out there like that.
Hey.
You're supposed to be getting some rest, kiddo.
How'd you know where I was?
We stopped by for a surprise visit.
You weren't at home, so we did a sweep.
Hey, that'll be all right tomorrow.
Let's get some fresh air.
You're part of something really big here.
I'm very proud of you, Sam.
What did I see out there?
Security cameras, or were they recording something?
I didn't expect you to wind up that far from the house.
Didn't think it was necessary to debrief NASA on the, uh...
on the full rundown of the property here.
What do you mean?
What is this place?
The truth is...
it's a safe house.
That was very James Bond.
Follow me.
They probably told you what we told them.
This house is for diplomats.
Which is not entirely wrong.
The kinds of people that we normally host here...
are in need of...
temporary hiding.
Is his birthday?
Sometimes.
A place like this is more secure than an embassy.
That's amazing.
Sleeping quarters there.
Mess hall here.
Down here is...
the central nervous system of NASA.
Runs on its own separate power source.
Wow.
And, uh...
just to put your mind at ease.
There are security cameras outside all around the perimeter.
In an emergency, the house totally shuts itself down, locking everything behind
three layers of Kevlar and copper paneling.
A lot of these switches are tied to defense systems all around the house,
and obviously you won't need any of this, but I didn't want you to think that...
we were spying on you.
It's good to know.
Anyway, uh...
big secret revealed.
Why don't we go back upstairs before they come looking for us?
Okay.
- General Harris? - Yes.
- It's 1830, sir. - Thank you.
I gotta get back to base.
- You all right if I go? - Yeah. Thanks.
Probably best that you just stay put.
Try and get some rest.
And please be sure that Dr. Aiden checks out that bruise tomorrow.
Hi there, you can reach Professor Mark Walker.
You know what to do.
Hey, it's me.
I, uh...
Can you just call me back when you get this?
I'm feeling great.
I just wanted to talk.
So hopefully you're not sleeping already.
Okay. Bye.
Oh.
Breach detected.
Lockdown initiated.
You all right, Sam?
Yeah, I think, uh...
I think there's something wrong with the generator.
Yeah, our system's showing there's been some blackouts.
Might be a problem with the grid.
We'll check it out.
Okay to begin testing, Captain?
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'll just be a minute.
I'm gonna change.
Can I talk to you for a second?
What's wrong?
Uh...
Not enjoying Architectural Digest, Pentagon Edition?
Hey, talk to me.
There was something here last night.
I mean, maybe it was in my mind or something, but...
the whole house went into lockdown mode.
And I...
almost had a heart attack.
I ended up sleeping in the bunker.
Jesus.
- I wish you had called me. - I tried. There was no service.
You want to transfer back to base?
I don't want them to know I'm struggling.
I will scan all of the security footage while you're doing your testing.
And then we'll find out what the what is, okay?
I'm sorry. I think I'm just really stressed out.
Hey.
You don't have to apologize to me ever.
How's the bruising?
I don't know.
I haven't even thought about it.
You got this.
You alright?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
That doesn't look like normal bruising, Sam.
That landing was no joke, huh?
Let's do another x-ray tomorrow.
- Hey. - Mommy!
Hi, busy bee.
Oh, I missed you.
- How you doing? - Okay.
Makes our place look like a college dorm.
Grandpa!
Hey, pumpkin.
Oh! Look at you!
- Cool coat. - Oh, you like that?
- I like your hat. - Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey, what happened?
I lost two.
When?
A few days ago.
Did you give this child some money?
You know, Isabelle, right after I adopted your mother, one
of the first gifts I gave her was a telescope just like that.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
What do you see, babe?
Let's go talk outside.
What's wrong?
What else?
Any stars?
I think I see the Milky Way.
Oh, there you go.
Tell me.
I...
I have this crazy bruising spreading all over my body.
And, um...
I'm basically seeing things that don't...
that aren't actually there.
I'm having these nightmares that... Hey, hey, hey.
I don't feel good.
Take a breath.
I don't know how to describe it.
I don't feel like myself.
Have you reported this to the medical team?
No.
I can't risk not being able to go on a mission again.
This is your health we're talking about, Sam.
Listen, I need to tell you something.
I just... I... I... You're scaring me.
I just need you to promise me that you're gonna believe me.
Yeah.
Yeah, what is it?
I saw something... not...
from here.
What are you saying?
Something...
not from...
this world.
Okay.
I know it sounds nuts.
That's... I mean...
Why?
I... was broadcasting signals deep into space.
For what?
For... for fun?
I don't know what they were communicating.
They registered sound waves...
on the capsule's receiver right before they lost me.
What if something followed me...
back?
Maybe I'm just exhausted.
I think that we, uh... Mommy!
I saw Pluto!
Oh.
I think I saw Pluto.
That's amazing.
I guess we're gonna have to get you a telescope of your own, Duncan.
Please, Daddy?
Yeah. Yeah, sure is.
You mind if I borrow Mommy for a minute?
I'll be right back.
There. Right there.
What...
What happened?
It was right there.
I swear.
I know this process has been tough on you.
And the family.
I know.
Maybe try to get some sleep on the earlier side.
Lots of water.
Dad, I'm telling you what I saw.
It was right there.
And it looked like a...
Sam, listen.
Are you sure you want to push through another night?
Yeah, I will. All right.
I gotta get back to base.
Um, I think the power here is good.
Don't forget to lock up.
Mm-hmm.
Sam, you need anything, you call me, yeah?
Okay.
Love you.
Love you, Bear.
Analyzing.
There are nine individuals detected.
Want to tell Maya your joke?
Yeah.
What kind of bee makes milk?
I don't know... A booby.
A booby?!
What?!
Did you really say that?
Did your daddy tell you that joke?
No, she picked that one up at school, huh?
Here, jump.
Don't scurry off too far, okay?
Iz!
Where'd she go?
She was just here.
She couldn't have gone far.
Isabel!
Izzy, come back here!
Isabel!
Izzy!
Isabel!
Izzy!
Iz!
Honey!
Oh, put that down.
You had us scared.
You can't do that, Iz.
Okay, adventure time is over.
Let's go home.
Yeah, let's head back. Come on.
Let's go home.
Holy shit.
What is going on?
Should we just do one last check around the property?
I think.
What do you think?
Probably environmental.
Could be a change in weather patterns.
Weather?
We have room at Langley.
No, that's okay.
Okay.
Well...
I'll call you with updates as soon as I have it.
Okay.
Actually, will you take her?
Yeah.
Uh, Director Marshall?
Yeah?
Are there any updates on the particle sample from my capsule?
The lab is still in the process of running tests.
But I'll let you know as soon as I receive a report.
Thanks.
The hardest part is over.
You okay?
My whole body hurts.
How's she doing?
She's fine.
She's just exhausted.
You should take her home to rest.
You should just come home with us.
You know I can't.
It's just a few more days.
We can come back later tonight.
Yeah.
I'd like that.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I'll call you when we're heading back.
Take something for the pain, yeah?
Yeah, I will.
See you.
I'll see you soon.
I love you.
We're on our way.
I'm here.
I'm here, Sam.
Sam.
Mark.
Yeah?
Was I a good mother?
What?
Why are you asking me that?
Shh.
Breach detected.
Lockdown initiated.
Mark.
Something.
In the house.
Two individuals detected.
There are three individuals detected.
I'm not sure.
I'll stay in the car.
Izzy?
Izzy, stop!
Izzy! Hey!
What did we say about running off?
Look.
They're not supposed to be here.
Okay, people. Let's move in.
Try to remember what we're dealing with is highly intelligent.
Don't do anything stupid.
Please, I have a family.
I have a family.
I can't.
What are you doing. Put the gun down, Will!
I can't do that, Mark!
Look at her.
Look at her!
Sam isn't what you think she is.
Put too much time and effort into getting them to come back here.
Tell them to leave their ship.
It's government property now.
You knew all this time.
I gave you a life.
A real chance at living.
You've been lying to me.
Mendez, this is Harris.
Start your ascent.
Target is secure.
Copy you, General.
The mission.
You used me as bait.
I didn't have a gun.
You have a choice.
I need you.
And I need them.
To follow me back down to the house right now.
Right now.
What are you going to do?
Shoot me?
I'm not going to ask again.
Don't make me do this.
You've always been.
I'll
watch you over there.
We have to go Sam.
We have to go now.
Go!
Go Go We'll be OK.
I'll see you soon.
