01x09 - Keep Your Friends Close

Post by bunniefuu »

[NAOMI] Last time on Naomi...

Someone stole the disc.

Everything that happened at STAR Labs,

it's all getting really dangerous.

Awesome!

[MAN] What the hell is Dilustel?

Naomi, I don't feel so good.

[NAOMI] Using Dr. Bell's technology.

[JACOB] Then if we
use the transmitter...

... we can track aliens.

They found your birth rock.

But, I think Commander Steel

is starting to suspect
I'm hiding something.

I was able to pinpoint the
extraterrestrial activity.

The alien we're looking
for is here at the party.

[PARAMEDIC] Patient is
responsive. Negative PLR.

BP over , pulse
strong but erratic.

We're ten out. Over.

[SIREN BLARING IN THE DISTANCE]

[INTERVIEWER] Are there
aliens in Port Oswego?

No.

I was going to say, "Definitely not."

But, you can never be too sure.

[INTERVIEWER] What do you mean?

What happened tonight showed
me that everyone has secrets.

Sometimes the people you
think you know the best

are the ones you don't
really know at all.

This has to be a mistake.

Um, maybe the device is wrong.

You really think there's an alien
here in my house at this party?

This is like Crooked House
or The Incredible Theft.

Agatha Christie? She's like the
J.K. Rowling of crime fiction

without the offensive tweets.

If this is true, this means that
someone has been lying to me.

It means that someone
is still lying to me.

Maybe they don't know they're an alien.

You didn't know until Superman.

Why would an alien who didn't know
they were an alien steal the disc?

They wouldn't. It could be anyone.

Seriously, babe?

I wish I was an alien. Literally,
that's what I wished for,

for my eighth birthday.

Besides, would I really out myself?

If I were a secret alien,
I would tell you immediately

so we could be an iconic superhero duo.

Like the lady version
of Batman and Robin,

but with powers.

Whoever it is, we need to find
out before the party is over.

How are we supposed to do that?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[DOOR OPENS]

What's going on in here?

[LAUGHS] Nothing.

Naomi, I just came to tell you
that the champagne has been poured.

So now would be the perfect time
for anything you might have planned.

That rhymes with most or ghost?

A roast? No way!

You and Mr. M are marriage
goals to the extreme.

- A toast...
- Oh!

... like the one I've seen you
secretly working on for days?

A toast! Right.

Er, I'll be right there.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- Nathan!
- Oh.

I've been looking for you.

Yeah, I was just about
to go do the toast.

What are you guys doing in there?

Nothing.

[DOOR CLOSES]

You know I love that.

I know.

[NAOMI] Twenty years is a long time.

I'm lucky to have known
my parents for of them.

They are the best parents in the world.

Although, I might be biased.

[ALL LAUGHING]

What's the secret to a happy marriage?

I think it's... trust.

I'm pretty sure my parents

always tell each other the truth,

even when those truths are painful.

Like when one person always
overcooks the chicken.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Or the other always
insists on playing Coldplay

literally any time we're in the car.

[ALL LAUGHING]

I want to thank all of
you for coming out tonight.

I love you so much, Mom and Dad.

[MOUTHS]

To Greg and Jen!

[ALL] To Greg and Jen!

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

You really think there's an alien
here, in my house, at this party?

It could be anyone.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

I totally stan the McDuffies.

Their anniversary felt
like my anniversary.

Is that weird?

I'd say the party was pretty normal.

Um, except for the snacks.

A lot of weird cheeses.

I didn't see Naomi
much after her speech,

but she seemed normal.

Totally normal.

If Naomi have been dealing with
something I would have known.

Like I said, BFF.

There are at least people here.

That's a lot of suspects.

The Internet has a ton of great ideas

about how to identify one.

[READING] "Aliens might use outrageous

physical accents to
hide in plain sight."

Why does Lourdes have purple hair?

Come on, we were all thinking it.

Whoever's on my street
that night took the disc.

We need to check alibis.

But, it's not like we can
just go around and ask people.

Maybe we don't need to ask

but, you already had
my social media handle.

- Mine too. soccerislife.believe.
- [ANTHONY TYPES]

What? Ted Lasso is dope.

These photos are for
an online party album.

It's a different thing.

[NATHAN TYPES]

Thanks.

Jacob, is it working?

[JACOB] Yep. It's
coming through right now.

Wow. I like pasta as
much as the next guy,

but does a meatball
really need a close up?

Once we get the exif
data, you should be able

to triangulate everyone's location

to see who's on my street that night.

I feel like James Bond right now.

Actually, hon, you're more like Q.

But, he's the real hero anyway.

Mrs. Lipschitz, hi!

I was just wondering if you
were on any social media?

- Instagram, Twitter...
- Is that about birds?

Sometimes.

My daughter's on the TikTok.

That's great, but it's just TikTok.

[LAUGHS] There's no "just" about it.

She says that the TikTok
is a very big deal.

[HITTING SOUNDS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[DEE] No one's supposed to be in here.

Can I help you with something?

Yeah, I'm in the market for a
tattoo, but no one was upstairs.

Nice place.

I've been thinking about
doing some training myself.

I'm sorry. It's a private gym.

There sure are a lot of weapons.

I'm just wrapping up a session.

I'm happy to take you upstairs
and show you some of my designs...

for your tattoo.

I'm in no rush.

How long have you lived in Port Oswego?

Twenty years, almost.

That's a long time.

You must know the people in
this town pretty well then.

Some more than others.

I try to keep to myself.

I don't mean to be rude, but I
should get back to my training.

Of course.

I'll give that tattoo some thought.

[MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND]

[NAOMI SIGHS]

So that's everyone.

Except for my mom's co-worker
Craig, who told me he prefers

to live off the grid.

He was actually camping at
Crater Lake until last night.

Craig's off the hook.

How many people were on my block
the night the disc was stolen?

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh? What do you mean "Uh-oh?"

No way. That can't be right.

There were three people on
Naomi's block that night,

which means we have three suspects.

Nathan, Anthony and Lourdes.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

"Did anything unusual
happen at the party?"

Not really. It was all
like pretty standard stuff.

It's not Nathan, Lourdes or Anthony.

They're our friends.
Nathan's my boyfriend.

Boyfriend? When did
that become official?

- Last night.
- Last night?

As in a full hours ago? Unacceptable.

It's not a big deal.

A relationship status change is
number one on the list of reasons

to call your BFF immediately.

I know. I'm sorry.

Do you guys really think that one
of our friends is a secret alien?

We have to at least consider it.

They were in your neighborhood.

Plus, they knew about the disc.

Well, it's definitely not Anthony.

He reacted to the Dilustel at camp.

What's Dilustel?

It's basically an alien
crystal that makes anyone

who's not an alien lose their minds.

If we're going to investigate,

we need to do it without letting
them know that we're investigating.

Look at you thinking
like the Queen of Crime.

Agatha?

Yes, some of her tropes
don't hold up that well.

But, the woman published
like a million books.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

[JACOB] I wish we had a polygraph.

Maybe we don't need a polygraph.

Polygraphs, they track your
physiological change, right?

Your blood pressure, your
perspiration, your heart rate.

I have super-hearing.

I can tell if their heart speeds up.

Babe, you're a human lie detector.

That's... that's very cool.

But, how are we supposed
to ask them questions?

Maybe it's time for a party game.

[DOOR CLOSES AND LOCK CLICKS]

Thanks for coming.

You said it was urgent.

An undercover m*llitary officer

paid me a visit.

Do you think you've been compromised?

It might be worse than that.

I looked into the man.

His name is Commander Henry Steel.

He works with Greg McDuffie.

If Greg had known Steel was coming,

he would have warned you.

What else does Greg not know?

That's not our only problem.

Naomi called.

Someone stole her disc.

Who would have stolen it?

She believes there might be another
being like us here in Port Oswego.

At her parents' anniversary party.

I haven't sensed anyone new.

There are beings without abilities.

We need to deal with
this m*llitary situation.

It's too dangerous to call Greg.

We don't know who's listening.

We need to talk...

- face to face.
- Whoa, whoa.

So you want to go to their party?

Yes.

Dressed like that?

Is there a problem?

Do you own anything
else that's not black?

This is charcoal.

[SNORTS]

[PARTY MUSIC PLAYING]

[NAOMI GASPS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Dee, the suit is dope.

Hmm. What does that mean?

That means you look good for a change.

Is that a pocket square?

You need to stop fidgeting.

This suit is tight.

Naomi, you should have told us about
the disc right when it happened.

I know. I'm sorry.

I thought you'd be upset.

Or maybe overreact and show
up to a party uninvited.

That's not why we're here.

We have more pressing concerns.

[SOFTLY] More pressing concerns
than a potential alien at this party?

It's about, uh... the m*llitary.

The m*llitary?

[DEE] Don't worry, we'll handle it.

We need to speak to your parents.

I think they're in the kitchen.

Naomi, if there's an
alien at this party,

you should consider why
they may want to stay hidden.

What do you mean?

Some secrets are better off buried.

[INTERVIEWER] Tell us about the party.

It was pretty tame.

Greg and I were more
adventurous in our younger days.

This party was uneventful.

That's a nice suit, Dee.

What are you doing here?

Your boss, Commander Steel,
paid me a visit tonight.

That's not good, Greg.

Dee was involved with
the Superman incident.

I didn't know Steele was
still looking into it.

Why would Steel suddenly
stop trusting you?

I have no idea.

Nothing's changed.

- Unless...
- No, we were careful.

- What happened?
- [GREG] It's nothing.

Thanks for telling us.

We'll handle it from here.

Who's really in danger here?

You need to tell us the truth.

He's right, Greg.
They're a part of this.

Whether we like it or not.

Steel found Naomi's birth rock.

We fabricated the
results of the analysis.

We were careful.

But, maybe we weren't careful enough.

[DEE SIGHS]

So Naomi is in danger.

We don't know that for sure.

You should have told us.

We don't have to tell you anything.

You do when it comes to Naomi.

I think he's starting to suspect

I'm sympathetic to aliens.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

We need to find out what he knows.

We'd have to access
the files in his office.

Jen, it's time.

Time for what?

We have a contingency plan.

But, it's risky.

If Naomi is in danger,
do we have a choice?

We have a way to
access Steel's computer.

But, I can't go.

Neither can you. Steel is watching us.

I'll do it.

I have access to the base.

[ZUMBADO] Then I'll come with you.

If something goes wrong,
you'll need backup.

[GREG] I always
respected Commander Steel.

That's why this is all so hard.

But, you asked about my daughter, um...

[CHUCKLES] I'm sure they were bored.

This wasn't really a teenage party,

but they made the best of it.

[NAOMI] Welcome to Never Have
I EVER: Anniversary Edition.

The rules are simple.

If you've never done it
before, you put a finger down.

Like, for example, never
have I ever broken a bone.

If you've broken a bone,
you put a finger down.

How exactly do you win this game?

By exposing people's secrets.

Like, never have I ever

scored the winning
goal in a soccer game...

at Homecoming.

That was really specific, dude.

He's using a complex strategy.

Never have I ever worked part
time at my dad's logging company.

Never have I ever banned a customer
for "disrespecting a comic."

Never have I ever gotten
a B + in a report card.

Never have I ever gone to more
than two parties in one night.

Three parties in one night.

[ANNABELLE] Four parties in one night?

- [GASPS]
- Legend!

Never have I ever taken something
from someone I care about.

Never have I ever broken
into someone's house.

[ANNABELLE] Never have I ever

been on Naomi's street
without telling her.

Especially not three nights ago.

Okay, what's with these questions?

[ANTHONY] I've been
pet-sitting for the Millers

for the past couple of days.

They live on this block.

This game isn't very fun.

Why were you on my street?

No offense, but it's not
really any of your business.

It has nothing to do with you.

[LOURDES'S HEARTBEAT THRUMS]

Seriously?

One of my teammates lives
in your neighborhood.

I left my cleats in his
car and went to get them.

That's it?

That's it.

[NATHAN'S HEARTBEAT SPEEDS UP]

Who's ready for Truth or Dare?

[INTERVIEWER] Were you with
Naomi and Nathan at the party?

Yeah, I hung out with them at the party,

but they weren't acting weird.

Everything seemed just totally fine.

[PARTY MUSIC PLAYING]

You want to tell me
what that was all about?

I'm sorry about the game.

It kind of felt like an interrogation.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY] I know.
I'm just a little on edge.

Some weird stuff has
been happening lately.

Weirder than usual?

It's like, people being in places
that they're not supposed to be.

Things are going missing.

And you think I have
something to do with all that?

Wow.

You didn't text me back last night.

I told you, I had a late practice.

[NATHAN'S HEARTBEAT SPEEDS UP]

Hey. What's going on with you?

You okay?

You know you can be
honest with me, right?

About anything.

Yeah, I know that.

And if you're keeping
some kind of a secret,

you can tell me,

even if it's hard.

Everyone has secrets.

It's important that we're
honest with each other,

That's what I love
about our relationship.

And so do I.

But, can you really say that
you're always honest with me?

What are you talking about?

Like tonight.

You and Annabelle and Jacob have spent

half the party locked away in your room.

There's obviously something going on.

But, you don't want to loop me in.

Trust is a two-way street.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Okay.

[SIGHS] I'm gonna get some punch.

[SIGHS]

Nathan. Naomi's boyfriend.

I think.

[INTERVIEWER] You are not sure?

I am. I just haven't gone
to talk to her since it...

happened.

[INTERVIEWER] What about at the party?

How were things between the two of you?

[NATHAN] Everything was fine.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

Where's your jacket?

It was very uncomfortable.

I'm surprised you're still here.

I'm mingling.

Or you're keeping an eye out for me?

Thank you for staying.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

I just really don't want to believe

that someone I care about
has been lying to me.

Maybe they're not.

Maybe this is all a
big misunderstanding.

Do you really believe that?

What I do believe

is that no matter what happens,

you can't let it change who you are.

You're someone who
believes the best in people.

Dee! That suit is tight.

Yes, it is.

Um... Jacob has something to show us.

[NAOMI] You said you had a breakthrough?

I think I figured out a way
to identify the mystery alien.

Oh.

Don't you mean "yay"?

Our prime suspect is Nathan.

Oh.

Babe, If Agatha Christie
has taught me anything,

it's that you can never
rule out a last-minute twist.

What did you find, Jacob?

In Dr. Bell's research, she hypothesized

that aliens might emit a unique energy

that would distort photographs.

Something to do with how
the eyes reflect the light.

If viewed with the right exposure,

their eyes would emit a blue glow.

But, I have taken a
jillion photos of Naomi

and her eyes have never
glowed an alien blue.

I'm guessing it's
only film, not digital.

And only if it's processed

with a specific chemical solution.

Kind of like what they use on slides.

Where are we going to get that?

The dark room at school.

I can see if Lourdes can give me a ride.

Can you keep everyone
here till I get back?

Mission most-definitely accepted.

Everybody knows photography
is a hobby of mine.

So no, I wasn't surprised

when Naomi asked me to
take photos at the party,

but that kept me busy all night.

So no, I never saw Commander Steel.

Okay, can you get a
little closer together?

- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
- [DOORBELL RINGS]

One second.

- [ANTHONY] Hi.
- Hey.

Hope I am not late to the party.

I'm looking for someone.

Yeah. It was strange.

The commander had never
set foot in my house before.

But, then he just showed up unannounced.

He wasn't acting like himself.

You sure I can't get you anything?

A beer? We have a cheese board.

No. I won't be staying long.

So what brings you by, sir?

Twenty years of marriage.
That's quite an accomplishment.

Out of the billions of
people on this planet,

you find each other.

What are the odds?

On top of that, you found your daughter.

We like to say she found us.

We were lucky.

Sounds like more than just luck.

Where did you adopt her from again?

The East Coast.

It was a closed adoption,
so we don't know exactly.

Right.

Do you know, there is many people

that don't view aliens
as an imminent thr*at?

Even people in our own organization.

That's the whole point
of the task force.

Ostensibly, yes,

but we have some
philosophical differences.

The true aim of the
task force is to defend.

Mine is to eliminate.

I am not sure I follow, sir.

A lot of people refer
to aliens as innocuous.

There is only one reason

another race would come to this planet.

It's because they want our resources.

And I believe they will do
whatever it takes to get them.

I know what you are hiding, Major.

Sir, with all due respect,
you have completely lost me...

Have you ever heard of STAR Labs?

Turns out, this was the missing piece

to cr*ck this whole thing wide open.

Now, I have proof.

Proof of what?

I've always respected you, Major.

So I am going to give
you the opportunity

to turn yourself in.

I can go through the usual channels.

I have enough evidence.

All due respect,

I think you've been putting
in too many late nights.

You are not making sense.

Isn't it strange?

I haven't seen your wife
and daughter around at all.

I have always respected
you too, Commander.

Such a decorated career.

So many years of work.

I'd hate to see it ruined

because you're grasping at straws.


Right.

Okay, then.

You have a good evening, Major.

[INVESTIGATOR] Did you see
Commander Steel at the party?

Commander Steel?

No, I didn't see him at the party.

But, Annabelle and I were
busy with party planning.

We were in charge of games.

Oh, no. Did you see that?

Mr. Davis taking the last mini pizza?

He made an enemy today.

You know I usually support
your snack-based vendettas,

but we don't have time
for that right now. Look!

[LAUGHING]

I think that was a goodbye laugh.

And that was definitely a goodbye hug.

We can't let them leave
before Naomi gets back.

Or at least until Anthony
takes a picture of every guest.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

We are going to be here for a while.

Great party. I'll see you kids Monday.

Uh, no, you can't leave,

because you don't want
to miss the main event.

Uh, didn't they already cut the cake?

Uh, the other main event.

It's a... It's a surprise,

but we are mere moments away. So...

We're gonna need some help.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[ANNABELLE] Dee!

Hi, again!

What is the point of this food?

It can't possibly be sustenance.

I blame the French.

What happened to your vest and jacket?

It was restrictive.

The high price of fashion.

Mr. Dee, we need your help.

Technically, Naomi needs your help

because there has been a m*rder.

What are you talking about?

Oh, no! Sorry, not a real one. Sorry.

Jacob is just very excited.

Naomi needs us to keep everyone here.

So we are doing a m*rder
mystery party game.

One person secretly plays a m*rder*r

and the rest of us have to catch them

before they "k*ll" again.

[SOFTLY] Why is m*rder fun?

I blame late-stage capitalism.

Here is your character card.

"B.L. Du-bois."

[IN FRENCH ACCENT] Dubois.

The butler.

Do they not have those on your planet?

You must be the boyfriend.

I'm sorry, Dee. It's...
it's a long story,

but you are going to have a lot of fun.

Um, fun fact,

all throughout the Agatha
Christie detective novels,

the butler is never the one who did it.

So you are probably not the k*ller.

Not because you look like the k*ller.

I mean, you kind of do, you
know, because you are the...

You have those tattoos

and face is very
broody and scary, but...

Good luck! Rooting for you!

[SOFTLY] I'm the butler.

Thanks again for the ride.

[LOURDES] No problem.

It's been a while since
I was in this school.

What are we looking for again?

A solution of potassium
hydroquinone monosulfate phenidone.

Here, I'll help you.

So, what got stolen?

Hmm?

Your questions during the
game weren't exactly subtle.

Someone stuck into my
house and stole the disc.

And you thought that someone was me?

I didn't know what to think.

I have just been off lately.

Do you ever feel like

maybe you don't know people
as well as you think you do?

- All the time.
- [NAOMI CHUCKLES]

Because you never do know
people as well as you think.

Isn't that kind of cynical?

Actually, I find it freeing.

People will never live
up to your expectations,

and the sooner you can accept that,

the sooner you can accept
people for who they really are.

Does that mean you are
not going to tell me

why you were on my street?

No. I told you, it's personal.

It's not like you tell
me everything, either.

What are you talking about?

There's something going on with you.

There has been for a while.

There is nothing going on with me.

It's fine that you
don't want to tell me.

That's the point.

Just know that if you ever
do want to talk about it,

I'm here.

I found it.

Naomi?

No, I didn't see her leave the party.

I wasn't there either.

We were out of ice, so I ran out.

So that's the contingency plan.

Greg and I needed to be prepared.

What exactly is on that hard drive?

Access codes.

Among other things.

If you want to say something,
you should just say it.

You should have stayed away from Naomi.

If you had, maybe none of
this would have happened.

- It wouldn't have mattered.
- You don't know that.

Naomi needed to know the truth
about her destiny. It was time.

You don't get to decide that.

She's not your daughter. She's mine.

And she is only years old.

She is not ready for any of this.

She is more ready than
you think, Jennifer.

It wasn't your call.

I have been quiet for a long time.

Maybe too long.

But, still I haven't told
her everything. I have honor.

What is that supposed to mean?

Who the hell are you?

[SOLDIER GRUNTS]

You need to hurry.

[SOFTLY] Oh, no!

What did you find?

Steel has been tracking me and Greg.

He knows you've been hiding something.

Not just us.

[ZUMBADO] He knows about Naomi.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

"Why was I at school?"

I forgot my book in my locker.

[INVESTIGATOR] Must have
been pretty important for you

to leave the party.

I have a calc test tomorrow.

And once you got to the school,

you went straight to your locker?

That's right.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

[THUDDING]

There's someone here.

It would be really ironic
if I got m*rder*d at school.

[NAOMI] Nathan?

What's he doing here?

I have no idea.

Can... Can I meet you at the van?

- [WHISPERING] Yeah.
- Thanks.

And then I went back to the van.

[INVESTIGATOR] So you
weren't in the building

when the incident happened?

No.

I didn't see Naomi or Nathan
until after it was over.

Nathan.

Naomi. Uh, what are you doing here?

No. What are you doing here?

[CHUCKLES] I was just...

Looks like you were
breaking into my locker.

Hold up. Did you follow me here?

No. [CHUCKLES] Maybe I should have.

What's going on with you tonight?

You are acting really weird.

What's going on with
me? I am acting weird?

You are the one breaking into my locker.

What? Breaking in...

Is the disc in there?

The disc? Why would I have that?

Someone stole it from my room.

And you think I stole it? Is
that what this is all about?

You were on my street three nights ago,

and I know you are not
telling me the truth about why.

You're right.

I have been lying.

About this.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Nathan. I...

I missed your call last night

because I was getting
these photos printed.

And yeah, I was at your
house without telling you.

Couldn't remember your favorite flowers,

but I know your mom has some planted,

so I figured I could show
a picture to the florist.

I don't know what to say.

- Nathan, I am so...
- No.

Don't do that.

I was upset.

But, I shouldn't have left.

If I had stayed, I
could have helped her.

I would have been there for her when...

But, I wasn't.

I left her at the school.

Alone.

Hello, Naomi.

My name is Commander Steel.

We have a lot to talk about.

Do you know who I am, Naomi?

You work with my dad.

That's right.

No disrespect, but
what are you doing here?

I think you know why I'm here.

I should call my parents.

Except they're not really
your parents, are they?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

- You're adopted.
- Yes.

But, adopted from where?

Somewhere on the East Coast.

Right. The East Coast.

Or maybe somewhere farther away.

Do you believe that life
exists on other planets?

I haven't really thought about it.

I don't like to refer to
these beings as aliens.

It's become too
mainstream, too innocuous.

Because, really...

they're a danger to our way of life...

our very existence.

- I think I should go.
- I know who you are.

What you are.

There has to be some kind of mistake.

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

This is called an S-RUD.

We've been developing it for some time.

It's based on a concept
called resonance.

It only reacts to beings
that aren't of this Earth.

I'm told it's quite painful.

I'm going to give you one more chance.

[NAOMI] He was threatening me.

[INVESTIGATOR] Do you have any idea why?

No. It seemed like he was after me.

Was it about my dad?

We're not sure yet.

What happened next?

I was going to run,

and then he just collapsed.

It seemed like a heart att*ck,

but I wasn't sure, so
I... I called my dad.

Well, thank you for taking the time

to give us a statement, Ms. McDuffie.

We're ten out. Over.

[SIREN BLARING IN THE DISTANCE]

We had no idea Steel was
capable of this kind of behavior.

And it seems that this was
just the tip of the iceberg.

What do you mean?

We found this on his computer.

It appears that Steel has had an
obsession with extraterrestrials

for quite some time now.

[GREG SIGHS]

I was part of the task
force. I never suspected

that Steel had some kind
of alternative agenda

and would go rogue.

We're not sure why he
chose to target your family.

We searched his files,

but there was no concrete evidence.

It was all a fantasy.

We have a contingency plan.

[GREG] We have a way to
access Steel's computer.

I'm sorry this happened.

I always respected the Commander.

Well, sadly, these
types of mental breaks

do sometimes happen.

But, rest assured, when he wakes up,

the m*llitary police will take over

and handle it appropriately.

What happened to him?

When we found him, he was
incoherent, disoriented.

Really, we have no idea.

[GREG SIGHS]

Naomi, are you okay?

Not really.

Want to talk about what happened?

[VOICE SHAKING] I just want to go home.

[SOFTLY] Home.

["BURIED" PLAYING]

You're back.

You guys all right?

[DOOR CLOSES]

[GREG] I know this was a hard night...

but everything is okay now.

We'll leave you to it.

[MOUTHING]

Is Nathan here?

He left.

I'm sorry, babe.

Are you okay?

Thank you both for everything.

[SNIFFS]

This is the only roll
that I haven't developed.

The rest are upstairs.

But, no luck with our project.

Do you want me to stay with you?

No. I'll be okay.

[NAOMI] Sometimes the people

really know at all.

Secrets never stay hidden forever.

I'm going to give you one more chance.

Please don't do this.
