[dog barks]
[suspenseful music]
[McNab, in voiceover] This is real. It's happening now.
They are here! And they walk among us!
All the meteor activity means another Visitor is coming. A good one.
[Nicholas] Everybody takes a sip
- and we walk over the line? - [Arlo] Yes.
No!
No.
- [Meryl] Stop! Stop! - [Arlo] No!
[groaning in pain]
You got good Visitors, you got bad ones.
When a good one shows up, a bad one hunts it down.
[grunts]
[hissing]
[suspenseful music]
- Fuck! - [gunshot]
[birds chirping]
[thud]
[footsteps]
[metal clanging]
[gentle music]
[music becomes tense]
[Ellen, in voiceover] Fleetwood Mac, cheap red wine, and sex.
Lots and lots of sex. [laughs]
That was pretty much our first year of marriage.
I never thought I'd love anyone the way I loved William.
That was, until James came along.
I took one look at him, and I said
I would climb mountains and swim oceans
and fight monsters for that little boy.
And then when William died, I thought half my love died with him.
I mean, I had half left for James,
but then, that was it.
But it turns out that love is like anything else. You can't control it.
Because you came along, and baby Meryl,
and Arlo, who popped out early.
[Maggie] Thirty-one weeks.
[Ellen] I'd do anything for those kids.
Yeah, I know.
Looks like the bleeding has finally stopped.
But where are they, huh? And are they okay?
I just want to see them with my own two eyes.
And I wanna hug 'em and tell 'em I love 'em.
And keep them safe. I'm rambling.
And that's fine.
I killed him.
And that's fine too.
Yeah, you're in shock.
Your hands, they've stopped shaking.
- Oh. - It's probably the adrenaline too.
Too bad it won't last for a while. [chuckles]
You're not going anywhere.
[sighs] But the kids.
Oh, Donald and I are on it.
- We'll be right behind you. - Okay.
[ominous music]
Oh, they're back.
[sighs]
[ominous music]
[sheep bleating]
[horse neighing]
[indistinct chatter]
It's fine, it's fine.
[gentle music]
[Nicholas] I-I didn't mean to. McNab, he was pointing a gun at us,
and I would never hurt anybody on purpose,
not a person, not an animal...
- I know you wouldn't, honey. - I don't even like squashing bugs.
[Ruben] You were protecting yourself.
And Meryl, and Arlo.
And that's a good thing, honey, okay?
Keeping your friends safe.
I just wanted to help get the liquid.
But McNab, he had that creepy mask, and he just grabbed us.
I... dropped the liquid.
W-What are you talking about, the liquid?
Harbinger, he had this way for us all to get out.
It was this-this rainbow liquid. He said it's-it's poison,
but if you drink just a little bit of it, you can walk over the line.
- Easy... peasy, he said. - Wait, safely?
[Nicholas] Yeah, totally safe.
We got some in a jar, but that's when we heard a car.
That was McNab. He was parked on the other side of the line,
but when he saw the jar of liquid, he came running at us,
right over the line, and the jar broke.
But I think maybe there's still some of it left in it.
Take me to McNab's car.
[suspenseful music]
[ominous music]
[Maggie] Meryl, grab the 3 mil syringe and the Ropivacaine.
Gonna need the needle driver and forceps, please.
Hey, I want him close but not this close.
- Can you--? - Yeah, yeah, got him.
Come here, bud. Here we go.
Oh! Okay.
Look out.
Gonna put you right here, okay?
Hey...
You're sure you're okay, right, Arlo?
I'm okay, Dad.
Come here.
Harbinger wants Mom to know...
- Who? - Harbinger.
What does Harbinger want?
Harbinger says McNab is good.
It's the other one, Assassin, that's bad.
Harbinger and Assassin, got it.
Good man.
[James sighs]
Navarros?
[solemn music]
What about you? Are you okay?
I'm okay.
You need to go check on your mother.
What? What happened?
Uh, Donald, could you--?
Yup, I'll fill you in. Come on, Duke.
- Come on. - [James sighs] Okay...
- Come on. Duke, come here. - Sure you got this?
Meryl?
I got this.
Okay.
And you're telling me Olsen here being dead
doesn't mean we're out of danger?
I mean, yeah, that's what the kid, Travis, said.
The other Visitor, Assassin, it could have just moved into somebody else.
Jesus Christ!
Yeah...
- Well... - What?
Now, you and I got here,
and then Valeria...
Wait, back up, back up. None of you actually saw this happen?
That's what I was saying.
Your mom said he cut himself free,
- he came after her... - Yeah.
At first, I-I figured it was just-just insanity,
you know, like everything else,
but tell me this doesn't look like he was shot
while he was sitting up.
While he was still helpless.
- Exactly. - Fuck.
Means that...
[suspenseful music]
Which means you need to go tell Maggie and I need to go see my mother.
Come on.
[Ruben] You don't wanna know.
And I don't wanna tell you.
[Valeria] What does that mean?
[Ruben] It means there's something out there.
Something so...
It means they were dead when we got there.
Oh, my God...
It means nobody's coming.
But you're okay?
No, I'm not.
Well, what about James? He...
- What about him? - Well, you...
Well, you...
You said they were dead.
But his face...
I did some of that, yeah.
[soft music]
It's over. I ended it.
Okay... [clears throat]
This isn't... going to come out right.
But it wasn't about you.
And it wasn't about James.
It was about me. There was something missing.
For me.
I do regret the lying,
I regret hurting you,
and if it means losing you,
then I would really, I would really regret...
It just wasn't my intention.
That wasn't your intention?
- [whispering] Are you fucking kidding me? - No, why would I--?
[Nicholas] Mom? Dad?
[mysterious music]
Nicholas.
Here.
[ominous music]
- Ruben? - [Nicholas] Dad?
- Here, you just-- - I said, I've got it.
It's fine. I can-- I can help you.
[Nicholas] Guys?
[low growl]
[growling]
Get behind me. Slowly.
Slowly.
[wolf panting]
- Nicholas? You need to shoot it. - Yeah.
- What? - Chamber a round. Do it.
- It just wants the liquid. - Honey, but we need that liquid.
[Ruben] You have to shoot it, Nicholas. Shoot it now. Now!
- [gunshot] - [wolf whimpers]
[wolf panting]
Jesus.
It's all true.
[sighs]
It's gone.
God dammit.
So fucking close.
[suspenseful music]
[ominous music]
[clicking]
Harbinger's not hurting you, right?
You're okay?
Uh-huh.
Harbinger trusts me, and I trust him.
And we're being brave, both of us.
Yeah.
Yeah, you sure are.
Meryl said that Harbinger is on some kind of a mission.
Is that right?
Yes.
Okay.
What is it?
To find the machine.
To go to it.
And I must be very quiet.
Why?
So I don't wake them.
Wake who?
They're sleeping, hidden.
The other Assassins.
Hidden... in people?
Um...
Right.
Okay, and, um...
And this machine. What happens when you go to it?
I am the on switch.
What happens when you turn it on?
We prepare.
Prepare for what?
[McNab] The invasion.
Oh, my God.
Wait.
[ominous, suspenseful music]
[James] Mom?
She's not in the house.
What are you doing?
We got a problem.
[McNab] It's not about one Assassin. It's about dozens.
Hundreds, maybe.
All of them sleeping, just waiting to be woken up.
And the Visitor, in your son, may well be the best hope we have
of surviving this invasion.
That's why he has to come with me.
Please, just put the gun down. Please.
Other than myself and the boy, I don't know who to trust.
You can't trust the person who just saved your life?
- [James] McNab! Hey! - [shouts]
- It's okay. I'm back. - Back the fuck up!
Let's just talk.
There's no time.
I know about the Visitors.
Travis told me everything.
Travis?
Travis is dead.
Olsen too.
[sighs] That's what it does!
It destroys and kills!
Doesn't stop. Not ever.
I'm not gonna let you take Arlo. I'm just not.
There's a killer here! It could be any one of you! And it's after your son.
Okay! Okay. What if you didn't have to take Arlo to take Harbinger?
Have Harbinger move into me. You can take me.
No. None of us are going with him!
- Shut up! Stop! - Okay, stop. Please...
- Stop, stop! - [overlapping shouting]
- [McNab shouts] - [gunshot]
[James grunts]
[intense music]
Ah!
Quick! Go, go, go.
Hey, Donald. Donald...
- Oh, my God. - [coughs]
- Oh, shit. - [coughing]
Hey, you're okay. You're okay.
[sighs]
He's gone.
Not going anywhere.
[insects chittering]
[soft, ominous music]
[James sighs] No, there's no one in there.
[Maggie] We'll go to Arlo's room.
- Hey, lock the door? - Okay.
- Dad. - Yeah?
Come with us.
- Honey, I can't. - But McNab, he's--
Yeah, he's still out there somewhere, I know, but, um,
we need to find Grandma.
'Cause you think she's not herself?
Like Arlo with Harbinger, you think she's Assassin.
[James sighs]
That's right.
You really believe she'd hurt us?
Yeah.
[Maggie] Meryl, come on.
[James] Hey, Mer. Look at me.
Everything's gonna be okay.
[door closes]
[deep sigh]
Sure you're up for this?
I'm nowhere near up for this.
- [clattering sound] - What is that?
Hey...
- [James] Oh, sh... - [Donald] Oh, that's you.
- Where the hell have you been? - Trying to find a way out.
- [Donald] McNab ran off. - What? I thought he was too hurt.
Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But he's out there.
Yeah, my mother is too.
What do you mean? What happened?
I don't even know where to start.
Harbinger...
If it's true that you can leave Arlo and move to someone else,
then move to me.
No.
Why not?
With Harbinger in me, you can protect us.
You and Dad and Meryl.
But if Harbinger was in you, I can't protect you.
Okay, there's gotta be another way.
[knocking at door]
[knocking continues]
[Nicholas] Hey, guys, it's me.
It's Nicholas.
- Hey. - Hi.
Come in.
My parents told me to come up here.
Is Ellen really--?
[Meryl] Yeah.
She's the last person I'd ever think to be--
Yeah, I know.
- I wish there were something we could do to help. - [Maggie] I know.
Maybe there is.
[Valeria] Ruben, slow down.
Please.
[insects chittering]
Hey...
I don't wanna be alone.
[suspenseful music]
Just stay here.
Looks like a lot of answers in here.
It's mostly confusing,
but there is some stuff that makes sense.
[thudding]
[Maggie shushing]
[thudding, creaking]
Shh.
[soft thudding continues]
[sighs]
- [whispers] Lock the door behind me. - Mom?
Meryl.
[lock clicks]
[clattering]
[suspenseful music continues]
[door squeaks, slams shut]
[suspenseful music continues]
[rustling]
[piercing, suspenseful music]
[snapping]
[echoing thud]
[door creaking]
[suspenseful music continues]
[breathing heavily]
[running footsteps]
[piercing, suspenseful music]
[panting breaths]
[suspenseful music continues]
[clattering sound]
[deep exhale]
[whispers] Okay.
Okay, okay...
[music intensifying]
[music softens]
[exhales deeply]
[sighs with relief]
[dog barks]
[groaning]
Hey.
Hey, Duke.
[sighs with relief]
[soft, suspenseful music]
- [loud bang] - [horse neighs]
[horse neighs]
[animal squeals]
[horse neighs]
[loud bang]
[clattering bang]
[horse nickers]
[suspenseful music continues]
[suspenseful music crescendos]
[crickets chirping]
[fire crackling]
[Ellen] I don't think it's me.
Not anymore.
I-I don't know where it went,
but it's not in my head.
I can't hear it.
Or-- or maybe it's still in my head, but it's hiding.
Or... Christ.
I could be lying right now, and I don't even know it,
but I don't know anything.
Are we just gonna leave Grandma tied up like that?
- It could still be in Ellen. - It could be in any one of us. Why don't you go to the kitchen?
When you and Ruben were off alone, either one of you--
We should never split up when looking for Ellen.
Look, I think that's the bottom line.
We don't know anything.
Except that it's here, and it's probably in one of us.
And the Navarros?
There's nothing at the Navarros'.
That's bullshit, James.
It's the only reason we're trapped.
It can't be destroyed. I told you that.
- We didn't even try. - Ruben, it was killing you.
- What are you-- - What the hell are you doing?
We don't know anything, so unless you want to tie all of us up...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Oh...
We really can't trust each other, can we?
That's right. On top of being totally and completely screwed,
we are also now totally and completely screwed.
- What do we do now? - Find a fucking way out.
- There is no way out. - And there's no way to tell
which one of us this is in, right?
No. Travis said no.
That poor fucking kid.
And Olsen? He wasn't doing it. It was Assassin.
What about McNab? He's still out there somewhere.
He is, so we keep watch,
no one goes off alone if they don't have to,
and we stay in groups as much as possible.
And to keep Arlo safe, we isolate him.
- Yes. - Nobody goes in and out of his room.
Well, except for Meryl and Nicholas.
I think we can all agree it isn't them.
They weren't here when it happened.
Good. Nobody else.
Well, how long are we supposed to do this?
Until Assassin makes...
some kind of, I don't know, mistake.
Something that shows us who it is.
All right, we stay alert. We watch each other.
So this is the solution? We do nothing?
Yeah, it is. Unless you got a better idea, that's what we're doing.
[Valeria] I can't believe we're just gonna sit here
with that thing, that monster inside one of us.
And we're talking, like Assassin isn't in this room right now,
listening to every word we say.
I am not waiting for this bastard
to decide "enough is enough"
and watch one of us go apeshit and hope for the best.
Everybody, listen.
Okay, wait. Don't come any closer.
Look, I didn't find anything about getting out,
but it does say, if we can just find out who it is,
that there's a way to get the Assassin out of them.
How?
We drown them.
