Sam?! Sam!

What happened?

- Sam?

' What's going on?

Sam?

' Sam!

Sam?

Sam!

Oh, sh*t!

Sam!

Hey, what the hell are you doing? Sam.

Sam.

Mom?

It's OK.

Sam! Wake up.

Why are we outside?

Shh.

They don't know how he got out

without setting off the alarm.

They're gonna send someone to check

the system again in the morning.

Daniel...

...I saw someone in Sam's room.

The window was locked, Lacy.

You were standing by the door.

If somebody was there,

where'd he go?

I don't know. I can't explain it.

But I saw someone

standing over Sam's bed.

And when I turned on the lights,

both of them were gone.

You didn't see Sammy in his room.

You couldn't have.

He was already outside.

So you think I imagined it?

Lace...

...what is this?

What are we talking about?

- I don't know.

- I'm...

I'm just saying,

something's going on.

This is me now. It's not Sam.

Look,I hear you. I do.

But we've got enough to handle right now

without getting crazy.

It's not gonna help anything.

What the f***?

Light her up!

Butt in your face! Butt in your face!

Listen, you can't tell

your mom about this place.

What, you think

I'm gonna get you in trouble?

Promise?

What are you gonna do for me?

You've... been a bad girl.

What are you doing? Stop it!

Dude, what is wrong with you?

Sorry, I...

Have you ever even

kissed a girl before?

Come here.

Pucker your lips.

Close your eyes.

If someone's

coming into this house,

we'll see him on this.

This isn't some kind of twisted way

for you to spice up our sex life, is it?

That wasn't the idea.

But I like the way you think.

This is gonna solve it, Lace.

Do you think he's watching us?

You mean Dad?

Yeah.

Probably.

Do you think there's somebody here?

No.

Then why did Dad

put up the cameras?

'Cause he's just making sure.

- Command Control?

- Yes, Lunar Base?

I'm scared.

Don't worry, Sammy.

I won't let anything happen to you.

I promise.

What the...?

So, three bedroom, two bath.

It needs a bit of updating,

but that's really a chance

to make it your own,

get exactly what you want.

Hm.

What do you think, honey?

It looks like a lot of work.

I have to say, you know,

I know this area pretty well now,

and you're not gonna do

much better for this price.

Um, how flexible do you think

the sellers will be on the terms?

They are highly motivated.

I mean, I think

we can be very...

Are you OK?

Lacy?

' - Lacy?

- Lacy!

' Oh' my God!

- Hello?

- Hey, it's Pete.

What the hell happened to you?

I've been calling for hours.

I got a message from a very distressed

client saying you had

some kind of a breakdown in the middle

of the walk-through this morning.

They were about to call 911

for Christ's sakes,

- but you walked out of the house.

- Oh, my God.

Look, I know it's been

rough out there,

but maybe you should

take a break for a little while.

No, Pete, I can't do that.

OK, well, the thing is

I'm not asking, Lacy.

Your clients took their business

over to Sunshine Realty.

I'm sorry, kiddo. Just call me

when you're feeling better.

Oh, God.

- Pete, please let me explain, OK?

- Mrs. Barrett?

This is Janice Rhodes

from the National Wildlife Center.

I got your husband's voice mail,

so I thought I'd try you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yes, go ahead.

I have some new information

about the incident,

but I'm afraid it raises

more questions than it answers.

Oh, w-what kind of questions?

The birds were negative for avian flu.

But what we did determine

is that the impact trajectories

indicate the birds were

part of three different flocks

and not one,

as we originally assumed.

I don't understand.

So what does that mean?

What it means is

that three different migrations

coming from three different directions

flew into your house, Mrs. Barrett.

It's as if something was

drawing them to your home.

Have you been working on

anything since leaving Jacobson?

You know, I've been tinkering

with a few personal projects,

but pretty much enjoying

just being a stay-at-home dad.

Oh, really?

Oh, man, what I wouldn't give

for a little time

like that with my family.

Yeah. No, it's... it's been great.

You guys got big plans

for the Fourth, or...?

My kids got me running all over

town looking for fireworks.

No, I think we'll probably

stick close to home.

Well, listen, Daniel,

I'm really glad you came in.

I loved what you did

on the Bay Cities project.

- Thank you.

- All the other partners

are very supportive,

so I say we do it.

- Really?

- Really.

- What do you say?

- I... Yes!

- It's yours. All right?

- Fantastic.

- Absolutely. I'll be in touch, OK?

- Great.

- OK.

- Have a good Fourth.

Thank you very much.

Hello?

Hi.

I've got news.

- Me, too.

- I got it, Lace.

I got the job.

Are you serious, Daniel?

They want me to start on the 15th.

Daniel, that's... that's amazing!

Let's see if Karen and Mike

will take Sammy tonight.

Jesse can stay at the Ratners'.

We need to celebrate,

for a change.

Oh, sh*t, I'm sorry.

What was your news?

Uh... nothing.

Let's celebrate.

Daniel?

Daniel?

Daniel?

Daniel?

Why aren't you answering me?

Daniel.

Daniel.

Daniel, wake up. Daniel!

Wake up. Wake up.

Daniel.

What am I doing in the kitchen?

I found you in the backyard.

You don't remember

getting out of bed?

No.

That is so... weird.

It's more than weird.

I'm ready to tell you my news.

I lost six hours today.

I mean, the last thing I remember,

I was in the middle

of this walk-through.

The clients told Pete that they thought

I was having some kind of breakdown.

And I woke up in bed, and I had this.

Jesus,Lace.

Daniel, I've got to show you something.

So I started with the birds.

And the best they can

understand it is that

something is interfering

with the Earth's geomagnetic field,

and... and that's causing

the birds to veer off course.

Some people say that it has something

to do with the government,

that they're testing some kind of

super-secret weapons technology.

And other people...

...think it's something else,

something...

...not from here.

What does that mean, "not from here"?

Not from... this planet.

- Lacy.

- I know this is so hard to believe.

- Just trust me. I've been research...

- No, it's more than hard to believe.

I mean... aliens?

That's...

That's insane. Right?

You know this is the reason

we don't self-diagnose on the Internet.

Stop. Hear me out on this.

There are people

who have reported experiencing

the same things

that we have been experiencing,

in these communities where these

other bird deaths have taken place.

This picture was drawn

by a five-year-old

in Chesapeake Bay in 2007,

shortly before he vanished.

Vanished, Daniel.

His family claims

he was taken by aliens

and that they had been

entering their home for weeks.

Sam drew this yesterday.

Yeah, well, maybe Sammy saw

this drawing online and copied it.

And maybe he made

800 birds hit our house?

I found a guy in the city who claims
