to be an expert on this stuff.

- I think we gotta go talk to him. Yes.

- No. No, no, no, no.

Well, what other explanation

do you have?

Just because I can't explain something,

doesn't mean aliens are responsible.

Why can't you understand that

some things defy normal explanations?

We're not those people

who believe in crazy things!

Maybe those people

aren't the crazy ones!

- Who are you? Who...

- Don't do this.

- Where is my wife?

- Don't do that!

- You always...

- My sane wife!

Crazy stuff is happening right now!

Stop it! I'm not saying

nothing is going on.

But this, this is...

this is too much.

There's got to be another answer.

Right there.

You can go. Go ahead.

- Jump in.

- Cannonball!

Hey, shirt off, string bean.

Can't swim with your clothes on.

Come on, dork,

I know you want to swim.

Sammy, come here.

Let me take a look at you.

Sammy, come here.

It's OK, baby.

I'm just gonna take a look, OK?

Put your arms up.

Sammy, tell me who did this to you.

Sammy, I need you to tell me

who did this to you.

Hey, you know that girl Jennifer?

- Yeah.

- That b*tch was on my jock.

- Really?

- Yeah.

What about you?

You get any?

I saw you with Shelly.

Did you kiss her?

- Yeah.

- Did you feel her titties?

Kind of, I guess.

Sh*t, dawg!

That's nothing!

You got to go downtown.

That's what I do with all my ladies.

Hey, Barrett.

Ow!

- Dude, stop.

- Better run, b*tch!

Stop being a dick! Stop!

I'm gonna pop a cap in tour ass!

Man down!

Oh, come on,

it didn't hurt that bad, you p*ssy.

Jesse?

Jesse!

How is he?

Well, I didn't find

anything physically wrong with Jesse

that would cause a blackout or seizure.

And the MRI was clear.

So, as I said, I don't think

what we're dealing with here

is a neurological problem.

So what do you think it is?

Well, I believe this episode was

the result of some emotional trauma.

Now, I need you to listen to me

very carefully, Mr. and Mrs. Barrett.

During my examination, I found some

unusual marks on your son's body.

What... I'm sorry.

What kind of marks?

Well, they look like

small geometric shapes.

Uh, squares, rectangles, circles.

But the troubling part is

that they appear to have been

applied with a brand.

Now, Mr. and Mrs. Barrett,

it's my opinion

that he did not do this to himself.

Jesse says he doesn't know

how he got them.

Do you have any idea

how he got them?

Uh, no.

Well, I have to inform you

that because of his age,

I'm required to refer this information

to Child Protective Services

for further investigation.

This is standard procedure.

They're gonna follow up

with some questions.

Do you understand

what I've just told you?

Yes... Yes.

Now, Mr. Barrett, the incident report

says that Jesse was playing

in the woods with his friend

at the time of his blackout.

Yeah.

Uh, a boy named Kevin Ratner.

He's a few years older than Jesse.

Well, do you have any reason

to believe that your son

and this boy

were into anything strange?

- Dad, what are you doing?

- Daniel, stop!

- Daniel, stop right now.

- Hey, Mr. Barrett.

- Jesse, are you OK? What?

- What'd you do to my son?

- Stop, Daniel!

- Huh? What did you do?

- Nothing! What the f***?

- Stop it right now!

Tell me, you little freak!

He's only 13 years old!

- He didn't do anything!

- Hey!

Daniel! Whoa, whoa!

- You guys, stop it!

- Ask your son what he did!

There's something wrong

with you people!

Just leave it on.

You have to.

Jesse.

- Hey...

- Leave me alone.

Hi.

Don't touch me!

Tomorrow, we're gonna get a call

from Child Protective Services.

My best friend just

treated me like a criminal.

- Lacy...

- Karen said that Sammy

told her the Sandman did this.

You realize who she thinks

the Sandman is, right?

- I know.

- Did you do this?

- Did you put your hands on our son?!

- Jesus Christ!

Something is hurting our children,

Daniel, and you're too stubborn

- to believe what it is!

- I'm not listening to this sh*t!

Then tell me who did it!

Tell me.

Because it's not just

happening in their heads!

I don't know!

But when I find out,

I'm gonna deal with it.

Yeah, you really dealt

with things today, all right.

Daniel the hero!

Wake up, Sammy.

Sammy. Wake up.

What's wrong, Daddy?

Oh, sh*t.

Come on, come on, come on.

What is it?

Do you remember right after Jesse

was born, and he was so sick?

The doctors didn't know what it was,

and they told us all we could do

was wait until morning

to see if he was gonna be OK.

That was the longest

night of my life.

I just felt... too helpless.

I didn't know if I was

gonna be kissing a child

or burying one in the morning.

It took me most of the night,

but I finally realized

something that allowed me

to watch the sun

come up without fear.

However it all turned out,

no matter what I had to face...

...I knew I would get through it,

because I had you.

I'm ready to believe.

Mr. Pollard?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I had to run to the store.

That's OK. Um, I'm Lacy,

and this is my husband, Daniel.

You said on the phone

you have two children.

Yes, I...

We were just thinking

that it was better maybe

if we met you first, and then...

- Thank you.

- Have a seat in the living room.

I'll, uh, put on some tea.

Of course

he would have cats.

Cats don't

seem to care about them.

I used to live

in the suburbs, but...

...the dogs always barked at night

when they came around.

Dogs have a sense for them.

Kept me up at night, so, uh...

...so I moved here to a building

that doesn't allow dogs.

Helps me sleep

a little better at night.

I don't fight them anymore.

Them?

The Grays.

That's what they're called.

They, uh...

There are three generally

accepted kinds of aliens:

the Grays, Insectoids

and the Reptilians.

But nine times out of ten, what people

report seeing are the Grays.

In fact, I'm... I'm dubious

about the other two altogether.

Especially the Reptilians.

I don't think

those accounts are credible.

Yeah.

That would make anyone skeptical.

I'm sorry, uh...

I'm getting ahead of myself.

The... the first thing we need to do

is determine whether or not

you actually are

experiencing an encounter.

Is-is that a test?

Uh, just a series of questions.

Helps weed out the lunatics.

Well, good. Let's do it.

OK.

Have either of you seen

any bright lights in the sky

above your neighborhood

that moved in an unusual way?

No.

Have you experienced any

severe headaches or migraines?

Nope.

Either of you heard

a ringing in your ears

that seems to be happening

only inside your head?

Yes.

Have you experienced

any unexplained illnesses,

strange allergies or nosebleeds?

- Yes.

- Yes.

Have you witnessed any abnormal behavior

by animals in your neighborhood?

Three different flocks of birds

flew into our house the other day.

I would say that qualifies.

Have either of you

experienced any blackouts,

stretches of time

that you can't account for?

And have you experienced a feeling
