When you were born, somehow, amazingly,

you survived, a miracle.

I had to leave to make

sure that you were safe.

I'm so sorry that you had

to grow up without a family.

I know what that's like.

But they know about you now.

This video's a warning,

I just hope it reaches you in time.

Bridd.

No, don't!

Yeah!

Dad!

Are you happy?

Just leave me alone.

If it is true, it's amazing news.

Yeah, made my day.

He reached out.

After all this time.

It's a perfect family reunion.

Except for the part where

the dad tells his son

he's a f***ing alien.

I spent 20 years trying

to create a normal life.

Your normal life was not that great.

No, I know how it looks, Officer.

It's okay.

I'm a good alien.

This could be an opportunity.

I didn't ask for it.

I'd love to be special.

Be grateful that...

Piss off.

I didn't know which one I'd need to use.

Wait, my purse is in there.

Yeah the maid'll be thrilled.

Come on.

We've maybe had the shittiest day ever.

I've got an idea.

Hiking, yay!

Shut up.

I'm sorry.

It's just that, well,

messages from my parents, people dying.

Being framed.

Chased.

Finding out you're an alien.

You know I've been fighting it.

It actually makes sense.

It explains a lot of things about me.

Ever since I was 10,

I tried to be invisible.

You know, fit in, not make waves.

I pay my taxes early,

I drive the speed limit.

I grew up in an orphanage.

No, it's alright,

the nuns were totally cool.

All the kids were dying to be adopted.

Yeah, we all wanted last names.

Well, I hit the jackpot when I was 10.

This beautiful family adopted me.

My last name was Morgan.

That first week I was playing

ping pong with my brother

and, um...

turns out I was, I was pretty good.

Was great actually.

Obviously.

He couldn't score a point.

Then my adopted dad took over and, um,

but he grew competitive and he,

he started really getting into it.

I still remember the score, 11 to two.

So I started like jumping up and down

with my hands, all excited.

I thought everyone was gonna

jump up and down with me

but they just stood there,

stone quiet.

A week later, they took

me back to the orphanage.

Breakfast for dinner.

Poached eggs, spinach and cheese omelet,

smoked salmon scramble,

eggs benedict, gross.

Chicken fried steak sounds good, though.

Maybe I'll have the waffles.

Bullshit.

You saw that menu on that board

for what, like five seconds?

Tell me about the waffles.

Strawberry, boysenberry, maple.

How much?

Well two cost 3.99, four only cost 5.25.

It's clever pricing.

Blueberries, an extra 50 cents, though.

Think I feel like oatmeal.

What's that? That weird?

You have no idea.

We need to go underground for a while.

Get in, get in.

Vacation houses kick ass.

Mmm, I could get used to this.

Sure.

We just need to clear your name.

Easy.

Stop being a dick.

We lead the cops to the aliens.

We track them down.

You're back to crazy.

Just imagine, back to

the excitement of driving

the speed limit and paying

taxes and folding laundry.

How would we even find them?

I have a hunch that you don't

know everything you can do.

You snore too, FYI.

Time to get crackin'.

Mm mm.

Mm hmm.

I'll start you off with something

a little less dangerous.

Are you sure this is necessary?

My aim sucks.

Come on, be a sport.

Oh, no thanks.

I got it.

Smartie pants.

What, what're we doin'?

Whoa.

Relax, your vitals are safe.

Really?

Whoops.

I guess you're not that fast.

Okay, I'm not actually convinced

you haven't shot someone before.

I was just marking my territory.

The toll of kidnap victims in Virginia

have been rising. Victims are

between the ages of 16 and 30.

Several counties have instituted curfews

while the perpetrators

are still at large.

The Marine family went on air today

to ask the abductors to please

return their daughter Sara.

A cash reward is offered.

They're here.

We'll meet the cops there.

What?

What's it like being you?

Wow.

I could get used to boning an alien.

I guess I better hurry up

and clear my name then, huh?

I guess you better,

before I change my mind.

Keep it interesting

so I don't get bored.

Why would you say that?

Sensitive.

Don't be such a p*ssy.

Hey.

Come on.

We're having fun.

Embrace it.

Embrace it?

Like you've had to embrace anything.

You abandon everything

in your entire life.

Bouncing around from town to

town, job to job, guy to guy.

Yeah well, eventually the

tortured hero act gets boring.

Yeah well, I guess you'll

stick around 'til you get sick

of free lunches, or I get

myself killed then, huh?

I got another souvenir for you.

Here.

I need a taxi.

An hour, whatever, fine.

More coffee, sir?

Oh shoot, I'm so sorry.

It's my first day.

Hey, you're doing fine.

Really?

Yeah, I like to slurp my

coffee from the table anyways.

Just relax, it'll get better.

Just gotta give it a shot.

But you gotta give it a shot.

I knew you'd come back.

Okay, maybe I pushed you a bit too hard,

so I am willing to extend my month

to month lease just for you,

assuming you stop being an a**hole.

911, what's your emergency?

Listen carefully, I've found

who you're looking for.

I can't run forever.

Sh, sh, sh.

I'm here to save you.

I guess.

Come and rape me!

Run, stay hidden, go!

My blood.

Cloning.

What is it, then?

You came for me.

Yeah, I like to make an entrance.

And then you got captured.

Look, I love you but I'm trying

to get us out of here, okay?

Can you help me?

Okay.

Can you slide closer to me?

Alright, alright good.

Now, can you feel the

buttons on my cuffs?

Yeah.

Okay.

Now I'm gonna tell you

which buttons to push, okay?

Push the first button.

Button three.

Okay, good.

Button three again.

Sh*t.

Okay.

Alright, we have to focus, okay?

There's no room for error.

I'm trying, I'm nervous.

Every time you press a wrong button

the cuffs clamp harder.

Wait, what?

Yeah.

No pressure.

Okay.

Now, four, four, two.

Three, one, four.

Stay with me.

Just when I like a guy,

I try to kill him.

Two, one, wait, wait, wait.

That's not it.

We're gonna try again, okay?

Think.

No, no, just, sh,

don't, sh, don't think.

Just say it.

Three, one, two, four.

One, two, two, one.

One, two, four, three, four, three,

one, four, one, one, three, two, four.

Oh, sh*t.

Done.

Hi.

Hey, wait wait wait, what're we doing?

I need to find the blood vial.

Why?

That's all they wanted from me.

Check the other side.

Find the vial, go!

Go!

Looking for this?

I get it.

The abductions, the sick tests,

the gas tanks,

you can't breath the air.

I can.

That's why you needed my blood.

You can extract my DNA and

genetically modify yourselves.

Bingo, colonization.

Oh God, he's getting away with the vial.

He's leaving.

Come on, short cut.

Not a chance.

Take the gun.

What?

I don't need to have good aim if you do.

You aim, I shoot.

You're crazy.

Aim for that.

The mailbox?

Yeah, he's gonna drive right past it.

Okay.
