Okay.
Caleb, are you finally gonna tell me what we're doing here?
It might be a moonlight picnic.
Oh, what is that for?
The most beautiful girl in the world took me back...
again.
That's sweet.
What did you bring?
Pretzels. Okay.
And energy drinks,
and, um...
Caleb, is that all you brought?
You hate it.
No, no.
No. Th... This is so nice.
Bri...
I know I haven't always been there for you.
Like at prom when I accidentally took the limo home without you
or that time I was late to your sister's wedding.
Well, you had the wrong week.
Or in the tornado, when I hid in my dad's gun safe.
Yeah, and left me to die.
But I promise things are gonna be different this time.
I'm never gonna leave you hanging again.
I swear.
Caleb, what was that?
- What? - Did you not hear that sound?
Get behind me. I got you.
Holy crap, what are those?
Aliens!
Caleb. Dammit!
Caleb, you little bitch!
Caleb!
Seriously?
_
Wanna tell us what happened?
Yeah, my boyfriend got spooked
when these like blue glowy creatures came out of the woods
and he wrecked his ATV into a barbed-wire fence
and now he's stuck.
How fast was he going?
He had reached ass-hauling velocity.
Are we just gonna ignore the part about
the blue glowing creatures?
They're gone now,
but Caleb thought they were aliens.
Ooh, aliens?
Um, Brianna, have you and your boyfriend
been drinking tonight?
Any substances we should know about?
No.
Help's here, Caleb.
- Brianna? - Yeah.
You didn't get abducted?
No, no thanks to you.
Caleb, Caleb, I'm Tommy.
Alright, I need to stop moving
so that we can take a look at you, okay?
Did you see them? Are they still there?
I think... I think I heard their ship.
No, baby. I think you heard the fire truck.
Alright, just stay still.
Nancy, get him on fluids and a LIFEPAK.
TK, monitor his vitals and keep him calm.
Copy that.
Those barbs are in there deep.
He's lost a fair amount of blood.
Frankly, it's a miracle that he hasn't torn an artery.
Alright, Judd, Marwani, you guys get the clippers.
Paul, Mateo, you gotta hold him nice and steady.
We gotta get him out of there fast and easy.
Cap, he's panicking.
Heart's racing in the 110s, Cap.
Go get the basket.
Caleb? Caleb? Shh.
Hey. My name's Owen.
I wanna talk to you about those beings that you saw.
Your girlfriend said that they were blue and glowing?
Yeah, like, uh, Smurfs but taller.
Like Avatar?
I-I didn't see a tail.
Brianna, did you see a tail?
No, I just saw your tail when you bailed on me.
I'm not crazy. They're out there.
I know. I know they are.
What you saw were called Cobalts.
They're harmless civilization builders.
In fact, they're the ones that Eisenhower made the pact with
in order to gain the advanced technology.
I don't... I don't know who that is.
He was the President of the United States,
and he won World War II.
Now, if you'd had found Greys coming out of the woods,
that would be a different thing 'cause they are the worker bees.
They're involved in human abductions.
Happily, there's less and less of that going on now
because they pretty much have
all the DNA information they need.
- They do? - Yeah, that's right.
So, believe me when I tell you,
the creatures you encountered came in peace.
- For real? - For real.
Now if you can just relax
and hold still so we can get you out?
Yeah, I mean, um... Yes, sir.
Okay, good, we're gonna get you out of here. Let's go.
Come on.
You're doing great, Caleb.
Alright, just a, just a few more cuts.
Oh, okay.
Last one.
Alright, son, we're about to bring you down.
Two, three. There you go.
Okay. There you go. Perfect.
Is it cool if I ride with him, just to make sure he's okay?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Bri, does this mean you still love me?
No, no, we are still broken up,
but unlike you, Caleb, I don't abandon people.
I gotta say, that was pretty clever, Cap.
Yeah, Cobalts. Eisenhower.
That was some fast thinking, Cap.
Yeah. The way you were able to calm that kid down
with your alien B.S.
Oh, it's no B.S. It's true.
- Google it. - Cap.
You're not saying you believe in aliens?
Who do you think built the pyramids?
The Egyptians.
Okay.
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
Oh, no, no, no.
- Damn it! - What is it?
The bark came off of the brisket.
It dried out.
I was putting the baby down,
I lost track of time and I ruined it.
And now we don't even have time to order pizza
before Wyatt gets here.
I mean, I'm sure it's fine.
Imma taste it, okay?
Yeah.
Oh, Judd.
The mesquite is on point. It's delicious, sweetheart.
Oh, I know that it tastes good.
I'm talking about the texture.
Listen, you
might be putting a little too much pressure on this visit.
Already let this kid down for the first 17 years of his life.
Baby, you didn't know you had a son until last week.
You did not let him down. He knows that already.
But growing up without a father...
I mean, that must have given him some scars.
But he has a father now, Judd.
All of those scars are gonna heal.
Even if the brisket eats like beef jerky.
Oh, my God.
Pow.
Wyatt, we are so excited that you're staying with us.
We really are.
I'm excited to be here, Mrs. Ryder.
Thank you for hosting me.
Of course. Please call me Grace.
Here you go. That's brisket.
I know it's a little bit dry.
I mean, if you wanna...
put some barbecue sauce or whatever on.
Oh, it's okay. I don't eat it.
That's my boy.
I meant the meat.
Oh, you don't eat meat?
Like ever?
Okay. No problem.
Look here, have a double serving
of Grace's truffle mac.
I can't.
I'm vegan, actually.
- Oh. - Ugh.
Honey, I am so sorry, I did not know.
Oh, no, it's my fault, I should have said something.
I didn't wanna be presumptuous. I'm the worst.
- No, no, no. - No.
Listen, I will fix you something else.
- I think we have lentils, actually. - No, no, please.
I'm-I'm good with the cornbread and the salad.
Oh, damn it.
What's wrong?
The whole weekend I had planned
with Wyatt's ruined is what's wrong.
What do you mean? I'm sure it's...
Tomorrow, I was gonna take you deer huntin'.
- Oh. - Well, how about you just move up
what you had planned for Sunday?
It was bass fishing.
- Yeah. - Okay, yeah.
That's, uh, that's not gonna work, either.
Thank you for that, Grace. Yeah.
Well, how about this, how about you ask Wyatt
what he likes to do for fun?
That's great.
Wyatt...
...what do you like to do for fun?
I like to skate.
Do you, do you skate?
On a skateboard?
Man, I haven't been on a skateboard since...
No... I don't think I've ever been on a skateboard.
Okay, well, that's fine, we don't have to do that.
What else are you into?
I like making TikToks, uh, play a lot of "Magic."
That's cool. That's cool.
Like you do card tricks
and rabbits from the hat and all that?
No, it's-it's "Magic: The Gathering."
It's like a fantasy-based tabletop card game.
I'm sorry. I'm kinda weird.
Weird, huh?
You like aliens?
Aliens?
Our 15th anniversary would have been this week.
Yeah, it's hard to believe ten months have passed
since Charles died.
But the truth is that I don't feel like
I have any more closure today
than I did the night that I found him.
And there's-there's this-this part of me
that feels like I'm going to see him
when I walk through the door...
just standing there.
But he's not there.
And he never will be.
Because he's gone.
He's gone.
And I'm still here.
And I don't know how I feel about that.
- Hey, Mrs. Beasley. - Hello, Mrs. Vega.
How was it tonight?
It was lovely, actually.
- Thank you. - Mm.
Um, did I make it home in time to tuck in the girls?
Yes, but they're not in their bedroom.
They're in yours.
Oh. Okay.
They really wanted to watch "Ghostbusters" and...
Oh, how bad are we talking here?
Our house is haunted.
Our house is not haunted.
Why would you think something like that?
The lights in our room, they all started flickering.
The lights were flickering, so you think we have ghosts?
Not just flickering.
They did it in a pattern.
Like one time,
four times, three times.
Over and over.
They did not. It was just a stupid bulb
blinking on and off!
No, it was Zuul.
It was not Zuul!
How do you know?
Because ghosts aren't real,
you big baby.
Hey, Buster.
Oh, no, you're not getting any of that.
One. One, two, three, four.
One, two, three.
Charles.
Come in!
Hey, Judd. What's up?
Sorry if I'm interrupting anything, uh...
You, you makin' soup?
It's 8:00 a.m. I'm not a psychopath.
It's-it's golden milk, a turmeric-based superfood.
You want some?
No. As a, as a rule,
I never have any turmeric before noon.
What's going on?
Well...
guess there ain't no right way to put this, Cap.
Uh...
It's, uh, it's come to my attention recently that, uh...
I have a son.
As in?
As in a masculine child.
As in, a second child
other than your newborn baby daughter?
Yeah. Actually, Charlie's my second
because Wyatt preceded her by about 17 years.
And may I ask how Grace is taking this?
Well, I mean, yeah, it gave her a turn at first.
But you know Grace,
she's-she's living up to her name.
It was actually her idea that we, uh...
we host the boy this weekend to get to know him.
And yet here you are.
Yeah, here I am, hat in hand
because, you know, that boy may have half of my DNA,
but apart from that, we don't have a lick in common.
Well, I'm flattered that you came to me.
I'm happy to share any hard-learned knowledge
I have about raising a young man.
Well, I appreciate that, Cap, but...
that's not really why I'm here.
Why are you here?
Aliens.
- Aliens? - Yeah.
After hearing your little impromptu spiel the other night,
I figured you know more about aliens than anybody I ever met.
No, not any more than any other card-carrying member MUFON.
Why?
Well, so I was hoping
that you might take Wyatt and I
on a little extraterrestrial spotting excursion.
And I read on the Internet that they come back
to the same places a lot because they're trying
to set up their, uh, their landing pad?
Well, that's true, Judd.
But the real question is, do you believe in aliens?
I got a 17-year-old Texas boy
who doesn't eat meat and who's never fired a gun
that wasn't plugged into a video game console.
So, for me, that's about as alien as I can imagine.
Alright. We'll do it.
I'll pack up my alien-huntin' gear. We'll go.
You, you got gear?
Oh, do I have gear?
I know this sounds crazy, but I think I've been cursed.
Nothing sounds crazy to the Skinny Lady.
When I left my ex Julian,
and he said that he would ruin my life,
and ever since our divorce...
I've been feeling, I don't know, different.
Different how?
Like, there is this pain, this sickness deep inside me.
Like something is sucking my life force.
I found this.
It was under my bedroom window.
Objecto maligno.
Evil object.
I think Julian used it to put a hex on me.
But nobody'll believe me.
I believe you.
Your health flame is the weakest.
And the black is the strongest.
Black represents dark energy.
It is gathered all around you.
What can you do to fix it?
I cannot. It is up to you.
You've spent your relationship fearing this man Julian,
- have you not? - Yes.
That is the source of the curse's power.
You must face your fear of him and confront the darkness.
That is the only way to break the curse.
But I don't want to confront the darkness.
That's why I came to you.
Can't you do some sort of cleansing or...
Liza, are you alright?
I... I...
_
She's in here. Hurry! The curse has overtaken her!
This curse have any symptoms you can tell us about?
The darkness is consuming her spirit!
- Also, tentacles. - Tentacles?
Oh. Tentacles.
Please just get it out of me!
Please, just...
Alright, alright. We'll do everything that we can.
Okay.
- Her name? - Liza.
Liza, I need you to hold still for me, okay?
And you should close your eyes for this part.
A little tug.
Yeah.
- Ah. - What is that?
Uh, roundworm, by the looks of it.
- Where did it come from? - One more.
Probably something that you ate.
That's impossible. I eat clean.
All organic, from farm-to-table.
Clean and organic aren't always the same thing.
Next time, wash your veggies thoroughly.
Roundworm is transmitted through feces.
What do you mean?
She's saying some other stuff
went from the farm to your table to...
- Nancy. - You mean, I...
Barf bag.
Get it all out.
- Cap. - Liza.
- I can't... breathe. - Liza, are you okay?
She must have aspirated some of the material.
- TK, track her O2 levels. - Okay.
She's satting at 90, Cap.
Her airway's blocked.
- Nancy, grab me the SEADUC. - Copy.
She's tachycardic, Cap.
Cap, no pulse.
Come on.
Here we go. Here we go.
- It should be clear. Anything? - Still nothing.
Nancy, start compressions.
Santisima Muerte, La Blanca,
with your presence, you can fight all hexes and evil curses.
I ask that you separate Liza from that which crosses,
that which is unclean.
By your great power, heal this woman!
- We've got her back. - Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
It's okay. It's alright, Liza.
You're gonna be just fine.
We're gonna take you to the hospital now, okay?
Alright.
- TK? - Mm-hmm.
Save that for Pathology.
And for my nightmares.
It was just like you said,
the darkness came over me, but I fought back.
Back to the light.
The curse has been lifted.
Thank you.
_
Cap, isn't this about where that couple said
they saw the, uh, little blue fellers?
Cobalts, and technically they're not little.
- It's the "Cobalts." - Oh, hang on.
- Gamma rays. - You foolin'?
Yeah, no, I mean, it's nothing lethal or anything, but...
...something was here.
That's so cool.
Alright, so I don't think we should go any further.
We're downwind of it.
We've got good cover and an unobstructed eye-line.
I think this is a good place to set up our observation post.
By set up our observation post,
you mean kinda throw our blankets down here?
Yeah.
- Over here? - Yeah.
So, Wyatt, you, uh...
You got like a girlfriend or anything up there in Waco?
Uh, no, not really.
Really?
I thought you'd be kinda beatin' 'em back
with a stick by now.
I mean, you know, unless you're not into girls,
if you're into guys, there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Uh, no, I like girls. I just, um...
I don't know. I guess I never really needed a stick.
Hmm.
Snacks? Who wants snacks?
Can't hunt aliens without snacks.
Well, yeah, unless it's jerky.
Wyatt here is a, uh...
he's a vegan.
- Oh, no way. - Yeah.
Well, that's good. I tried to go vegan for a while,
but a man can only eat so many beans.
Well, you'd be amazed with what they could do with heme nowadays.
It's funny you say that, I've been thinking about heme.
I need to eat some more things with heme in it.
You should do it. For sure.
Heme's like a game changer.
It's he... heme?
Soy leghemoglobin.
Uh, yeah, it's...
It's the stuff that makes veggie burgers bleed.
Wait, why-why would you want your veggie burger to bleed?
Don't that kinda defeat the point?
- Uh... - Uh, well...
Uh, it's kinda hard to explain, I guess.
Alright. Who wants some teriyaki seaweed chips?
Yeah, I love teriyaki seaweed chips.
Where'd you find those? I could never find 'em anywhere.
- Oh, I have my sources. - Oh, yeah?
Now we just sit back...
watch the skies.
Discúlpeme.
I probably should have called to make an appointment.
I was expecting you.
Today, you said that, um...
You thought someone was trying to contact me,
and I believe that's true.
Some things have been happening the past few nights.
The lights in my house, they've been flickering.
- Flickering? - Not, um...
Not just flickering,
more like... signaling.
Always in the same pattern.
They blink once, then four times, then three.
Do these numbers mean anything to you?
I think it's my husband.
He died last year.
When we first started dating,
I was an EMT and Charles was a line cook
and our shifts never synced up.
We barely even saw each other.
But I had this blocky old-school pager
and he would send me one, four, three.
It's beeper code.
It means I love you.
Our anniversary is tomorrow and...
I think he's trying to get my attention.
What do you think he wants to say to you?
No se.
I... Maybe just that, that he loves me.
Do you think there's more?
I don't know.
Okay, well, you said that I needed to listen.
And I'm trying.
Can you help me?
Maybe he is not the one who needs to speak.
Well, what do you suggest I do?
Tomorrow is your anniversary.
Treat like any other.
Light some candles, put on nice clothes,
your best perfume,
cook him his favorite meal.
And then you tell him how you feel.
You want me to cook my dead husband a porterhouse?
Think of it as an offering.
You can always eat the leftovers later.
It's all in the congressional record. It's right there.
A hundred and twenty unidentified aerial phenomenon,
all by Navy pilots, and that's just in the last 20 years.
No way.
Those are the ones the Pentagon cops to.
Now they're always near our nuclear facilities,
always near our weapons platform.
Do you think that's a coincidence?
Not anymore.
Y'all are still talkin' about aliens?
Can you believe he's never heard of ancient astronauts?
Can you believe Captain Strand thinks
Martians built the pyramids?
I-I never said that. Mars is a dead planet.
Alright. That's right, you did say that.
Alright, y'all are gonna have to
tell me about that in a minute.
I'm gonna go find me a cactus to water over here.
Of course, Mars wasn't always dead planet.
Oh...
Hey, Cap!
You might bring that Geiger counter over here.
Oh, I got it.
No, no, no, Wyatt, no, no! Stay there.
- I got it. - Oh!
What's going on?
Take a look.
You think this is the work of your little green men?
No, I don't.
We gotta back up!
Come on.
_
Y'all sure neither one of you touched any of the dead animals?
No, I stayed back by the observation post.
The observation post?
Yeah. It's that pile of clothes back over there.
And then me and Cap went in and we investigated,
but as soon as we saw that hog, we hightailed it out of there.
- Nobody got near it. - Sure you're okay, Dad?
Don't feel any stomach pain or a headache?
I'm a little caffeine-deprived, but no, no.
I'm feeling good. Thanks, son.
Alright. Well, nobody's spiking a fever.
I'm barely even getting BG-level radiation off them.
Does that mean we're gonna be okay?
It means it's safe to transfer you to the hospital,
and there they'll take some tests
just to be certain.
Next time, try not to set up your weenie roast near a hot zone.
Well, that's the question, isn't it?
Where did that radiation come from?
Yeah, that's a mystery for the DOD to figure out.
Grace said they're sending a containment team out soon.
Alright. You might wanna leave your blankets and such there
for the cleanup crew
and then we can all ride to St. Joe's together.
Thank you, T.
Hey, Grace. What's goin' on?
You tell me. Did Tommy check y'all out yet?
Yeah, everybody's doing okay.
Might have been a different story if we wandered
a little further into the woods.
Gracie, this is Owen.
Any updates on the DOD cleanup crew?
No, and it doesn't seem like
they're gonna get there anytime soon.
- What else do they have to do? - I don't know.
All I could get out of 'em is that they were dealing
with a classified situation down at Fort Sam Houston.
Listen, I just checked our logs
from the last three hours.
We've gotten three 9-1-1 calls
from within a two-mile radius
of where you're standing right now.
Well, what did they want?
They were all hang-ups from a TracFone,
which is probably why nobody paid much attention,
but now I'm starting to think somebody's in trouble.
Do we know where in the two-mile radius it was coming from?
Not really.
It's all unincorporated land out there.
I do see three residential addresses.
I've tried calling all of 'em and nobody's picking up.
Alright, send us the addresses.
Captain Vega, gonna need some of your suits.
My meter's goin' crazy.
Mine too. I'm up to 200,000 microsieverts.
Mine's already at 220. Must be getting close to the source.
Spooky.
This way.
Tommy?
Got it.
Sir. Can you hear me?
Radiation burns.
I can't find a pulse.
Help...
It's okay. It's alright.
We're here to help.
I have a patient here with acute radiation syndrome.
Be prepared for decon and transport.
I think I found the source.
Oh, no.
I think that's cesium chloride.
They use it in teletherapy machines for cancer treatments.
The radioactivity makes it glow.
Close proximity to this...
can kill you in a few days.
How did it all end up here?
_
Hey, ready to have your mind blown?
You know that old hospital in Lockhart?
- Yeah? - Wren, feast your eyes on this haul.
Oh.
Jasper, I...
I know we're making found-object art,
but is there ever a point we have found enough objects?
Jimmied this thing out of it.
What is that?
I know one way to find out.
Huh.
Wait, wait.
Oh!
Wow!
Can we help you find something?
Yeah, I am throwing a birthday party for my mom
and I have been looking all over for a present,
and I have a reputation to uphold.
Finding the perfect present is kinda my thing.
Well, we have just the piece for you,
- but it's pricey. - Oh.
We gotta save some of this for Burning Man.
I feel... kinda funny.
- Yeah. - Gonna get some air.
Aliens!
- No, no. - Maybe we should sleep it off.
Dammit, Caleb.
Ma'am, this is very important.
Did anyone other than the two of you
come into contact with this powder?
Cre... Credit... card.
Credit card?
It's dated three days ago.
Which means whoever signed that receipt...
Is running out of time.
Grace, we need your help.
That's what I'm here for, Judd. What's going on?
We believe some of that radioactive powder
slipped out of the hot zone.
Any idea how?
In the form of a birthday gift.
A pendant filled with that powder.
All we got on the woman that bought it
is a receipt with a partial credit card number
and a squiggle for a signature.
Send me a photo. Imma try to get you a name and an address.
Grace, you gotta hurry,
'cause I've seen what this stuff can do up close
if that gift changes hands.
I got you. Listen, keep your phone on you.
Alright. Come on.
Hi, thanks for calling Mills Credit Corp.
- This is Holly. - Hi, Holly.
My name is Grace, I'm calling from...
Our Mills team is experiencing
a high volume of calls right now,
so please hold and someone will be with you shortly.
? Happy birthday to you ?
Here's a fresh mint julep for you, Mom.
Oh. You don't have to liquor me up, Bev.
- You're already in the will. - Oh!
Mom, you ready to start the gifts?
- Ah, yes? - Okay.
Um, why don't you pick out the one I should open first?
- Okay. - Hmm.
- Okay, now. - Okay. Let's see.
Ugh. Human.
Get me a human on the phone.
If this is about a billing issue with your credit card,
please say or press eight now.
Please hold while we transfer your call.
Lord, please give me strength.
- This one's from us. - Open this one next!
- What is it? - Smell that.
It's an aromatherapy machine. For scented oils.
Hello, this is Dan.
Okay, Dan, listen, I'm trying to get the name and address
of a card ending in nine-eight-six-five.
Okay, let me see what we can do.
Now to get started, I just need
the three-digit pin number on the account.
Pin number? I don't have the pin number.
I'm not the cardholder. I'm calling from 9-1-1.
Hmm. I'm afraid our corporate policy
doesn't allow us to give out information without the pin number.
Dan, are you being serious right now?
Your cardholder's life is in danger
and I really need you to help me.
You know what? I'm just gonna get my supervisor on the line.
Okay, Dan, listen, do not put me on...
This is darling!
Open the kids' next, Mom. They're really excited.
Okay. Alright.
Excuse me.
Ma'am?
Yes, yes, I'm here.
Okay, I just got my supervisor Gloria on the line.
Gloria, listen, my name is Grace Ryder.
I'm calling from Austin Emergency Services.
I have an emergency and I'm urgently trying to get
the name and address for a Texas-based customer
whose card ends in nine-eight-six-five.
My goodness, of course.
We'll get that taken care of right away.
- Thank you very much. - I just need
the three-digit pin number on the account.
I don't have that.
And the only three-digit number
you should be concerned about, Gloria, is 9-1-1.
My associate Dan should have explained our corporate policy.
- Unfortunately we're not... - Yes, he explained it.
And I don't give a damn about your corporate policy.
A lot of people are going to die
if they haven't already.
Last one, Mom.
- Oh! - And it's from me.
You are aware that these calls are being recorded, correct?
Yes, we record all our calls, corporate policy.
And you know what? We record our calls also.
What do you think is gonna happen to the two of you
when I make a TikTok out of this call
and the entire world hears that neither Gloria nor Dan
lifted a finger to help prevent a mass casualty event?
Do you think anybody is going to care
that you were just following corporate policy, Gloria?
Her name is Beverly Gordon.
May we come in?
Oh, what's going on?
Alright, everybody, take it easy, relax.
We're fire department, don't move.
- What's going on here? - No need for concern.
We have reason to believe that you are in possession
of radioactive material.
Radioactive? What the hell?
My Geiger's going off.
That. What is that?
That's my gift.
Ma'am, hold as still as you can.
Let's put it in the container box.
Okay, nice and easy.
Much obliged.
How did they even know?
I didn't know, Mom. I just thought it was a cute necklace.
We're sorry for the interruption but you all have to evacuate.
- Are we safe? - Yes, you should be fine.
We just need to strip you down for decon. Just to be sure.
Strip us down? What...
- Is it your birthday? - Yes.
- Happy birthday. - Uh... Thank you.
Please.
Hey, everybody. I'm home.
Well, let me help you with those.
Okay. Thank you.
Okay.
Oh. Beef tenderloins.
Planning on company tonight?
Something like that.
Good for you, Mrs. Vega.
Hey, girls, it's time to go!
Thank you so much for taking them tonight.
They love spending time with you.
And don't worry, Disney movies only tonight.
- Nothing with a pirate. - Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Hey, I think you're gonna be glad to know
that your ghost is officially busted.
Uh... Okay.
Well, what do... what does that mean?
Okay, my son-in-law is an electrician.
I hope it's okay,
but I had him stop over today to check out your wiring.
It seems somebody had been nibbling on them.
That's why the fluttering.
It was mice.
We heard one in the wall.
You were right, Mom.
There's no ghost.
I called the exterminator.
They're coming on Monday.
Well, I-I appreciate that, Mrs. Beasley. Thank you.
- Say good night, girls. - Okay. Niñas, come here.
Hmm. Mwah.
Mwah, I love you.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye, babies.
Watch out.
Can you tell me how you're doing that move?
I'd tell you, but I'd have to kill you.
Hey, babe.
There is vegetable lasagne in the fridge.
I'm sorry I'm so late.
The DOD finally showed up
and we had to spend another eight hours
going through debriefs.
- Hmm. - It's no big deal.
Mrs. Ryder and I have been having fun.
No, it is a big deal.
I missed your whole last day,
and that was our last chance to redeem this whole visit.
What are you talking about? I've been having a great time.
You heard what he said?
He had a good time.
Yeah, really?
Yeah, really.
Going alien hunting...
Finding a hot zone with your hilarious captain.
Yeah, thank God for Owen Strand
'cause he... he saved my radioactive bacon.
What do you mean?
I just mean, if it hadn't been for him,
you know, your whole, uh...
whole trip would've been ruined.
No. No, this was the best weekend of my life
because of you.
What are you talkin' about?
I've always wanted to go camping with my dad.
Now I have.
I don't... I don't know if we can rightly call
what we did camping.
Judd.
You stayed outside till the sun came up, did you not?
Yeah.
Okay, sweetheart, then you went camping.
Well, I'm...
Well, next time, uh,
next time we'll go to my Uncle Cash's...
Actually, it would actually be your Great Uncle Cash's ranch.
And they got sunsets there
that are too pretty for postcards.
Yeah. Yeah, that would be really cool.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Alright.
Well, um, I'm sure he's tired of losing.
Imma let you take a turn.
I will check on the baby.
Look at me.
Do not go easy on him because he's your father.
Do you hear me?
Get out.
I won't, Mrs. Ryder.
Wyatt.
Call me Grace, okay?
Y'all have fun.
So what's he like, Uncle Cash?
Uh... Well, he's a salty old cuss
and most of the time he's drunk as a skunk, so...
I think you'll like him.
Can't wait.
So...
I guess we're really doing this, husband.
Oh, it's not to your level.
But I basted the hell out of that steak.
And I think you're going to like it.
I... I think you would...
have liked it.
And I don't know
how this is supposed to go.
Oh. Um...
Charles...
we miss you.
A whole hell of a lot.
And we're gonna be alright.
We're good.
And that's not entirely true.
Um...
I'm not always good.
I lie awake at night...
wondering...
"Would things be different
if I had just come home just-just an hour earlier?"
Did you suffer?
Are you still suffering?
It kills me.
It still kills me.
Charles, if you're here with me right now,
could you give me a sign?
Could you make the lights flicker?
Please?
I blame you.
You couldn't catch one lousy mouse?
