The Invasion

Oh, I can't. I can't stay awake.

Stay awake, stay awake.

Adderall, gone. Ritalin, gone.

Amitriptyline. What is it?

Modifinil, CNS. Dopamine.

A stimulant. Clonazepam.

Clonazepam, good.

That's right. Yes. Good.

Citric acid, yes.

Oh, sugar, sugar. Fructose.

Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew.

Let us out! Please!

Who are those people? Who are they?

What are they trying to do to us?

No one's ever gonna hurt my son.

I can't stay awake. Please stay awake.

Yes, you can, yes, you can.

I know you can.

Stay awake. Yes, you can.

Come on, come on.

Let us out!

Open the door! Open it! Open the door!

Tragic news tonight as

the space shuttle Patriot explodes...

... during an unscheduled

landing attempt...

We felt, you know, the explosion.

- a trail of destruction and debris

from Dallas to Washington.

Pieces all over the pasture

and in the yard, everywhere.

Watching it, make sure nobody touches it,

nobody runs off with it.

Why is it important for people

not to touch it?

It's contaminated.

Could be contaminated.

Of course, we all got out and we touched it,

some of us did.

Crucial questions remain unanswered.

Debris has been seen

from Dallas to Washington.

The shuttle accident has shocked

the nation and the world.

Impromptu memorials can be seen

where debris has fallen.

The scene here is surreal.

We've seen a stream of officials from a

number of federal agencies coming through.

- Kaufman, CDC?

- That's right.

Right this way, please.

Mr. Kaufman!

Dina Twain from CNN. Can I ask you what

the CDC is doing here, Mr. Kaufman?

Hi. President's on his way back

to D.C. tonight.

I'm supposed to brief him at 6 a.m.

Can we make that?

- We can try.

- Right. Show me what you have.

Over the retrieved debris...

...we're recording a contamination rate

of almost every square meter.

We're projecting a contamination zone

of an alley about 200 miles wide...

...from D.C. to Dallas.

- My God. What is it?

Our biotechs are in full meltdown mode.

This is a highly resilient organism...

...able to survive the bitter cold of space

and the searing heat of reentry.

Initial cellular diagnostics show

it exhibits monoploid characteristics...

...with high levels

of calcium dipicolinate...

...both commonalities to an endospore.

A spore? Jesus.

One thing's for sure,

it ain't from around here.

Sir! This was on our roof.

The president is on his way back

to Washington from Camp David...

... to meet with his closest advisors

over the space-shuttle disaster.

Hey, Casper.

Good boy.

I thought you'd never get home.

Your ex-wife called twice.

Do you wanna watch this?

I mean, for work or something?

I should get to bed.

I gotta be back on the Hill

in a few hours.

Well, you should've called. I could've

been sleeping in my own bed right now.

Federal officials are removing

several pieces of shuttle debris...

... from a disturbing source: eBay.

Ollie!

Ollie, it's okay. It's okay.

Look at me. It's Mommy.

Oh, baby.

Oh, hey.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You just had a bad dream.

You got those nightmares

back again, huh?

Everything's all right. You lie down.

There we go.

There we go.

We'll just have to make those

nightmares go away again.

Right?

Hundreds were killed this morning

in the bloodiest attack in Iraq...

... since the start of the occupation.

A mixture of toxic chemicals

was strapped to suicide bombers...

Ollie? Breakfast.

Dr. Bennell? I have a call for you.

I'm just finishing my notes.

- I know, but he is very insistent.

- Who is it?

Your ex-husband.

- Hello?

- Carol, how are you?

I'm fine, Tucker. How are you?

I am fine. I'm really fine.

I'm back in D.C. again.

In our old house.

It is such a nice house.

What do you want, Tucker?

I want to see Oliver.

- I miss him.

- No.

Carol, I have a legal right to see my son.

Ollie, I don't believe it. Come on.

Get dressed. We got 15 minutes.

Come on.

We should walk to school every morning.

This is nice.

You wouldn't say that if it was raining.

If it were raining.

But what if it rains tonight?

I checked the weather report.

Forty-five and clear. No rain.

Just candy.

Okay, here's your homework.

- All right.

- You look cool.

Thanks.

- I'll see you at 4.

- All right.

Can I give you a kiss?

- Hey, Oliver!

- Nice costume, dude.

I'm gonna get a double Hershey's bar.

Oh, I wanna get as much chocolate...

America is in shock today...

over this shuttle debacle.

- Good morning, Ben.

- Fifty. Five-oh.

They signed a letter saying

the government's ignoring them...

...because they think

the shuttle crashed on purpose.

No one's reporting it here.

I had to find it on the World Service.

What's wrong with you?

Tucker takes off to Atlanta

for four years, Ben.

He calls Ollie on his birthday

and at Christmas...

...and suddenly he comes back into his life

and he wants to be a good father. No.

It's confusing for Ollie.

He is his dad.

I know him, and I don't trust him.

Look, Oliver loves you more

than anything else on earth...

...and there is nothing that Tucker

or anybody else can do to change that.

Hard work! Fair pay! Hard work! Fair pay!

- Are we still on for tomorrow night?

- Will there be food?

Well, they're Czechs, so there'll be,

what, goulash or something.

We'll see.

Spare some change, ma'am?

God bless.

Why would I get you flowers?

Well, I didn't do anything wrong.

Hold on, hold on.

That'll be 8 bucks.

I am all about the romance.

- Morning, Carly.

- Your 9:
00 is here.

You're a little early, Wendy.

It's my husband.

Wendy, did something happen?

Did your husband hurt you again?

How long have I been coming here?

Four years.

And I've had a cup of tea

almost every time, haven't I?

Yeah, I suppose you have.

But I can't do it.

I can't even drink this.

That's how bad it's gotten.

I wanna help you,

but you have to talk to me.

This is gonna sound so stupid,

or crazy, or both.

No, I've told you before. Nothing you say

in this office is stupid or crazy.

All of it's important. All of it matters.

My husband is not my husband.

And what makes you say that?

The way he acts.

The way he looks at me.

He keeps bringing me things to drink.

I don't want them,

but he keeps bringing them.

I yelled at him last night.

He didn't yell back.

I threw my glass at him

and he didn't do anything.

I know you and your husband

have a volatile relationship.

I did, but not anymore.

Yes, when he would get mad,

I would be afraid of him.

But at least when he kissed me,

I knew he loved me.

Now when he kisses me...

What is it?

He's just different.

I know it. Bobo knew it too.

Bobo, your dog?

The other night, when Richard got

home from work and he walked in...

...Bobo, he just went crazy.

He started snapping

and growling at Richard.

I mean, we tried to put him outside,

but he attacked.

Dr. Bennell, that dog has never

attacked anyone in its life.

And what happened?

Richard...

...grabbed the dog's neck...

...and Bobo just started whimpering.
