The Invasion Page #2

I tried to stop him,

but he wouldn't let go.

And then, I could tell. Bobo, he...

...he didn't understand what was

happening. He was so scared.

And then there was this snap...

...and Bobo was dead.

Richard didn't say anything.

He didn't cry.

He just picked Bobo up...

...and took him out to the garbage.

I wanna see you again

as soon as possible.

I'm gonna change your medication. I want

you to take these morning and night...

...twice a day. Okay?

And if your husband does anything like this

again, anything that frightens you at all...

...I want you to call my service immediately.

Can you promise you'll do that?

Yes. Thank you, doctor.

That should work.

Now, we should probably

talk about tomorrow.

Are you nervous?

Why would I be nervous?

Because we've never

been apart like this, Ollie.

And you haven't seen much

of your dad in a long time.

I'm okay, Mom. It's gonna be fun.

But I'm gonna miss you.

Yeah, you better.

We can text each other all the time.

You're right, I'm being silly. You go pack.

We're gonna meet the Welches

in about half an hour.

Go on, Superman.

Thank you, Mrs. Robinson!

Bye-bye.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Trick or treat! Trick or treat!

He's having nightmares again.

I got him back on clonazepam.

I hate having him on anything.

When did he start having them?

The last three nights. Ever since

he's known he's gonna see his dad.

Trick or treat! Trick or treat!

Get back, boys.

Stop that!

She's been acting up. Maybe you

should take them to another house.

I don't know what's wrong with her.

Come on, boys.

Let's go.

- Blue, get back here!

- Watch it!

Watch it!

Oh, my God, get him off!

- Ollie, back!

- Blue! Get down.

Down, girl. Bad dog. Bad dog!

I'm so sorry.

- I'm so sorry.

- Andy! Andy. Oh, my God.

He's fine, Pam.

There's nothing there.

The blood must've been the dog's.

Well.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah. I'm okay, Mom.

Okay.

You took my candy.

Give me that Snickers!

- That's mine.

- I want that.

- No, you can have that.

- Give me that!

- I'll trade you. Here, Russell's for Reese's.

- Oh, man.

Thanks, Carol.

How's Andy doing in school?

He seems a little disconnected.

Jeez, Carol. I mean, usually when

you start talking like a psychiatrist...

...it's not about one of my children.

Oh, he's just in a funk. You know, maybe

it's that bug that's been going around.

- What's going around?

- Mom!

Mom! Get this off of me, please! Mom!

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

- What is that?

- I think it moved.

Did one of you put this here?

- Not me.

- I didn't.

Would you mind taking Gene home?

Taxi!

Carol. What are you doing here?

Hey.

That's for me?

It's...

I love it.

There's no way of telling which house it

came from because we went to at least 30.

I don't think there's anything

to worry about. It looks like latex.

Ben, look at it. Even without a microscope,

you can see the cell strata.

Well, maybe someone used

a finger as a mold.

Someone's definitely made this

or bought it at Wal-Mart.

I mean, it is Halloween.

It could be anything.

What do you think, Steven?

Interesting.

It's manufactured, right?

I don't know. It's either an expensive fake

or really cheap skin.

Med Web's buzzing

with something like this.

Labs in New York and Boston

logged some weird samples.

Let me do a workup on it.

- Thanks for helping, Steven.

- Yeah.

Call me later, Ben.

- You owe me an hour on your couch.

- An hour?

What makes you think

anyone can help you in an hour?

- What?

- I didn't say anything.

Each year, the flu claims

tens of thousands of American lives.

You'd figure the government

would realize...

... that we are facing nothing less

than a national medical emergency.

Our studies show this new virus

is more communicable...

...and lasts longer than

more common strains of flu.

The CDC has begun

emergency meetings today...

... to decide how to keep it

from getting any worse.

We think an inoculation program is our...

Our best shot at keeping this

under our thumb.

This flu season could be

the deadliest in 30 years.

I'm curious.

If you just cracked this new virus...

...how are you ready

with vaccines so quickly?

I wish there were more time to go over...

...all of the science and the internal

processes behind this project.

If you require more information...

...l'd suggest you bow out

of this round of contracts...

...and give us some time

to prepare a fact sheet.

Is that what you'd like,

Mrs. Cunningham?

Not at all. Just a question.

Well, we like those.

We like questions.

They got you to the moon.

Carol?

That man wouldn't give a name.

Can I help you?

Dr. Bennell, I'm Richard Lenk,

Wendy Lenk's husband.

What can I do for you, Mr. Lenk?

I'm waiting for my wife.

I don't think your wife

is coming in today.

She said she was coming in,

but I'm bringing her home.

Why don't you take a seat, Mr. Lenk,

and I'll see what I can find out.

Thank you, Carol Bennell.

- Yes?

- Wendy, it's Dr. Bennell. Where are you?

I am... I'm right outside your building.

I need to talk to you.

Or maybe I should talk to the police

if you think I should.

Wendy, your husband's here.

He's in the waiting room.

He said you were coming in.

I didn't want you to be surprised.

Carol, can you keep him there a while?

- What are you gonna do?

- I'll go home and pack.

I'll stay with my sister.

I didn't know if I could trust you.

Thank you.

Trust me?

Wendy. Wendy.

Your 9:
00 is here.

Send her in.

What about Mr. Lenk?

Dr. Bennell?

Give him a magazine.

Did you tell Gene

you're staying at your dad's...

...starting tonight?

- Yep.

It's a good thing

he still lives next door, huh?

lmagine the pickle you'd be in if you

didn't know any kids in the neighborhood.

Pickle.

- Bread-and-butter.

- Dill.

- Kosher.

- Sour.

- Sweet and hots.

- Gherkins.

Garlic chips. Perkies!

That's not one.

Come on. Perkies?

Anyway, you already won.

But why do people say

"in a pickle" anyhow?

- I think it's a baseball term.

- Mom!

Help me, please!

Help me!

They're coming!

Listen.

We've gotta warn people!

They're among us! They're here!

- Mom, what's wrong with her?

- Stop!

Oliver, you listen to me.

You stay put.

- All right?

- Okay.

- Ma'am!

- I'm a doctor.

Go back to your car.

I gotta clear the traffic out of this tunnel.

I saw it happen.

Where would you like me to wait

for a statement? I'm a witness.

I took down your plates.

Well, hold on.

Why did you take down my plates?

Why did you take down my plates?

If we need you, we'll be in touch.

Hey.

Sorry we're late.

Hey, Oliver.

He had a rough night.

We saw an accident. It was terrible.

It's okay.

School starts at 8:10.

You have to have him there at 8.

Do you want to come in?

No, I'm late for a party.

Enjoy the party.

Make sure you take your pills.

One every night.

Okay. Love you.

It was awful.

You should've seen her face.

She was terrified, Ben.

And the police did nothing.
