02x10 - The Ghost of Bobby Smallwood

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Resident Alien"...

How long do you think I have?

- Do you like Christmas?
- Yes, very much.

Celebrate it before June.

My birthday's coming up.

I was wondering if you might
want to do something that day.

I would love that.

Pick me up at the diner at : ?

[SQUEALS]

[SCREAMS]

The baby hatched.

What the...?

- [ALIEN BABY HISSES]
- [BOTH SCREAM]

It's a stupid kiss. Who cares?

D'arcy was drunk and sad. Big surprise.

Maybe you should learn to talk to Ben

about your feelings
instead of stuffing them

inside a -mile vertical treadmill run.

Hello, Harry.

Our people are not
coming to k*ll everyone.

There is an alien race that's planning

to take over the Earth. They are...

- [g*nsh*t]
- Whoa.

I should have never
made you k*ll Sam Hodges.

You sh*t me.

I should have just
taken care of it myself.

[g*nsh*t]

I just wanna forget the whole thing.

I can erase all of her memories

of that night for her, and
she will be happy again.

She will forget, and
everything will be okay.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

_

I'm tired. I wanna go home.

Shush now.

Mama said not to come home
until we fetch some dinner.

Bobby! Wait for me.

_

Bobby!

Bobby, where are you?

Bobby? Bobby?

- Bobby?
- Bobby!

- Bobby?
- Where are you, Bobby?

- Bobby!
- Bobby?

[TRANQUIL MUSIC]

Who is in my house?

Max, if that is you
and your criminal wife,

I will be very angry.

- Good morning.
- You are not a little child.

I made coffee.

Hey, I think we should
check on the alien egg.

I'm a little worried that
the noise from the party

might have woken it up or something.

The memory replacement
I did on her worked well.

She does not remember that
the alien baby escaped.

She also forgot how to make coffee.

This tastes like dirt stew.

Do not worry about the baby.

It is in the bunker in its shell

and definitely not somewhere
else who-knows-where.

That's a relief. [CHUCKLES]

I will take good news wherever
I can get it these days.

A smile?

I like smiley Asta much
more than the sad, sobby Asta

I saw last night.

I have some more good
news for you to smile to.

Okay.

I was in the bunker and
definitely nowhere else,

checking on the baby,

and it gave me a message telepathically.

My people are no longer
coming to destroy mankind.

What? How does it even know that?

Goliath passed the message
to me through the alien.

I do not even know how he did it.

It was so weird.

You no longer have to ever
make me feel uncomfortable

with your sadness again.

They're really not coming?

- Mm.
- You're serious?

No, I'm not serious. I'm smiling.

[LAUGHS] Harry.

Oh, Harry,

this is the best news
I've ever heard in my life.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Oh, wow. I'm so happy.

Wait, wait. Did it say anything else?

Yes, there is another
evil alien race on Earth

that will probably k*ll us all.

No, it did not, just the good stuff.

Happy Asta.

Finally, after everything, it's over?

[SIGHS] We're safe.

No, the Earth is doomed, but at least

I do not have to clean
crying snot off your face.

I have completed a full
autopsy on the victim,

Tanner Corrington.

My initial theory after you found

the shell casing in the woods

was that the crime was
committed with a r*fle

where the m*rder*r

was standing over the county line

in Patience.

Mm, wild speculation. Continue.

The chest wound shows no
sign of soiling or tattooing

proving that the g*n was
fired mid to far range.

My official findings

are consistent with my initial theory.

I was right, and now I'm more right.

Yeah, well, Patience sh**t
means Patience m*rder.

- Mm, objection.
- Overruled.

- Sustained.
- It's not a trial.

It's an autopsy.

Yes, but how can we really know

what happens based on a dead body?

The autopsy.

That hole could be from anything.

Hey, you want close range?
I'll give you close range.

A Jessup m*rder*r lights a firecracker,

pressed it in the guy's chest.

Bam, dead guy, k*ller
with three fingers.

We are looking

for a three-fingered Jessup resident,

maybe someone who works
at the gas station.

I think piano teachers are out.

So look into that. Let
me know what you find.

This man is more annoying than his son.

This all seems very thorough, Doctor.

Thank you.

Looks like we're partners on this one.

I want this dead thing gone.

Every time I look at it,

I'm reminded that if the b*llet

that hit me was a few inches lower...

[SHRIEKS]

Why do you scream like my mother?

It was not a scream. It was a sneeze.

Ha-ha-choo!

I have a very thin larynx.

Here's your schedule.

Also, Gerard Hundemer
needs you to do a house call

to bring him pain medication.

He's dying. I do not want to go.

It is depressing. Cancel.

You're joking, right?

Of course I'm joking. Ha-ha-ha.

Reschedule it till after he is dead.

Also, you need to sign
this to release the body.

I will be happy when this
annoying lump of skin is gone.

The funeral home is shipping it back

to New York this afternoon.

I was talking about you. [CHUCKLES]

I suggest you don't
leave food in the fridge.

No, you will leave my yogurt alone.

Oh, ew.

- Hello.
- [SCREAMS]

Choo.

- Bless you?
- What are you doing in here?

This is not your home.

Well, I was in the kitchen,

but they're out of those
yogurts I like, so...

- Those are my yogurts.
- Is Asta around?

I haven't heard from her.

I forgot about Asta's
friendship with Raggedy Ann.

I cannot have her remind
Asta she is a k*ller.

Asta has the day off.

If you see her, do not mention...

- the "incident."
- What incident?

I don't know what you're talking about.

The m*rder.

I know what you're talking about.

You said you did not know
what I was talking about.

Because I don't wanna talk about it.

I do not want to talk about it.

I do not even care.

- You're in denial.
- I am not in denial.

So you're in denial
about being in denial?

Yes. No. I deny denying it.

Yeah, I just...

What made somebody wanna k*ll you,

Harry Vanderspeigle?

You say it's 'cause you figured out

who k*lled Sam Hodges.

Are you sure it's not something else?

Your breath smells
like corn and kerosene.

I would do anything for Asta,

so if you've dragged her

into something that's gonna hurt her,

I might just have to k*ll you myself.

You know what I'm talking about?

[LAUGHS]

♪

Help. Help!

I need help. Something bit me.

Ellen, I need a large bandage

and those three yogurts you stole.

You have no proof.

What did this?

They'll say I'm crazy,

but I think it was a chupacabra.

A tiny monster. It att*cked my cows.

It ate them?

No. It milked them.

of my poor girls have damaged teats.

What am I gonna do?

I have dairy cows filled with milk.

- Yum.
- What?

What?

With that many milk sacks to drain,

the alien baby will go back for more.

Here it is.

Ellen, please bandage the milk farmer.

I have an emergency.

[SOFT MUSIC]

- Hey.
- Hi.

Great party the other
night. Wait, were you there?

I'm sorry I said what I said.

Don't be. It's all true.

What I did... sucked.

I was truly an assh*le.

Look, Ben and I have things
to work out, obviously,

and, you know, if he can't talk to me,

then he and I will deal with that,

but I just wish he would've told me.

I should have.

I... you have every right to be pissed.

I've lived here a long time,

and I still... I still
don't really know anybody.

So when you and I started
hanging out, it was nice...

Not feeling so alone.

It's nice having someone else
here with athletic trophies

gathering dust on a shelf.

Mine are in a box, but...

Need someone to spot you?

Need someone make fun

Weirdly, that's exactly what I need.

[COW MOOS]

I love cows.

Humans could live on a plant-only diet,

but they are too selfish.

They choose to feed off
these wonderful animals

instead of just letting
them live their lives.

[COWS MOOING]

[CHIRRUPING]

I must wait here as long as it takes

for the baby to return and feed.

Otherwise, it may take human form,

and I may never find it.

Get outta here! Go on, go on!

I'm gonna teach you a lesson,
you nasty, little devil.

You leave my cows alone. You hear me?

I've got good news.

The only news I want to hear
is that you gonna stop clapping

your bony, porcelain hands
before they trigger a migraine.

Just regular hands.

Uh, so the resort company

has officially put an
offer on the Grady land.

It's great news for
you and your department.

You know, more tourism money
means you can hire more people,

you know, more equipment.

Hmm, and why do I think

there's a "the only thing
is" attached to this?

I'm just giving you the good news.

You know, the only th...

There is one factor to consider.

If the resort people hear
that Patience is involved

in another m*rder, they
may go somewhere else.

[SIGHS] I see.

So I was thinking maybe
you could take a back seat

and let Jessup take the
reins on this investigation.

When have you ever
seen me take a backseat?

I don't even sit in
the backseat of a car.

If I hail a cab, I sit
shotgun, or I drive.

Look, just... [SIGHS]

Just think about it, please.

Look, I... I need this.

- I need something to go right.
- Ah.

So now we're getting around
to what this is really about.

So you're having some trouble at home?

What? No.

Everything's... Everything's fine.

You know I'm the town sheriff, right?

Which means % of my
job is being a therapist.

That percentage seems high.

It's not. If anything, it's low.

Look, I went through
some things a while back

that I didn't deal with,

and sometimes you
gotta face life head on.

You know, you can't run
away from your problems.

They come back, and
they'll eat you alive.

You understand?

Yeah. I know that.

I...

[SOFT MUSIC]

It's just hard to talk to her sometimes.

Well, I get it.

When it comes to talking to 'em,

you gotta treat women like
they in the cartel, right?

You wanna have a conversation?
You take 'em to a public place.

That way you don't have to
worry about them murdering you.

So you think Kate wants to m*rder me?

Based on the fight at the party,

Couple out-of-towners rented the boat

three days ago, paid cash.

Someone found it this morning

floating on the other side of the lake.

You have any idea where they was from?

I don't know.

Fake accents, gold

Manhattan, or Long island? New Jersey?

Like, "Hey, Joey,

Let's head down the

You know, just a couple shoobies

I'm trying to pinpoint them, sir.

Please don't, all right?

New Jersey sounds about right.

Is there a reason you didn't call me?

I'm sorry. We lab partners now?

Now I'm supposed to fill

her out for her birthday.

Me, Harry, and you erased

my guys in New York.

I should have never
made you k*ll Sam Hodges.

I should have just
taken care of it myself.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Ooh, be careful of your case files, sir.

Well, I'd be more worried

Good to see you're not letting m*rder

Yeah, well it's not the deputy's fault.

She finds me hysterical.

[LAUGHS]

We're on our way to tracking down

the men from the van.

The deputy's on hold with the NYPD.

Vincent Grillo and Joey Moretti.

Both served time. Both
have ties to the mob.

Suspects in several hits.
You name it, they've done it.

How'd you ID them so quick?

Caught the driver on a security camera,

pulled a partial print from the dash,

and then I called up some favors

at my old stomping ground at the NYPD.

Well, well, New York
cop. You didn't mention.

D.C. myself, years.

Huh. Look at us.

A couple big city cops
playing in a tiny town.

Oops, better keep an eye on my sandwich.

You know this guy I grew up with

is a New York cop. Do
you know Luis Valez?

I haven't heard that name for years.

Luis was my trainer at the academy.

[LAUGHS] Stop it.

You heard that, Deputy? She know Luis.

Sorry, just checking to
see if my ham is gone.

Look, Sheriff,

I know you're not happy
about sharing this case.

- Hmm.
- But together we can cr*ck it.

You know what? I believe we can.

You know, bring a little
big city perspective

to this small town tomfoolery.

Caw, caw.

Sorry, just thought
I saw a bird in here.

I gave you your memory back.
Why are you angry with me?

k*lling that man was a good thing.

We are now both the same.

We are both murderers.
We should start a club.

You can't just go around
erasing people's memories.

You wanted me to it when
the sheriff and the deputy

found out what I am.

The fate of the world depended on that,

so I think that one was important.

I think erasing your
memory was important.

I do not like it when you are upset.

You get loud and blubbery.

Yes, I was upset,

but that was my grief
to deal with, not yours.

The second I got rid
of it, you were happy.

You smiled. I saw your teeth.

I didn't even know you had teeth.

Listen to me.

Life is not just about
smiling and happiness.

It's also about pain

and guilt and fear.

They're called feelings for
a reason so you feel them.

Those are bad feelings.

When I feel bad feelings,

I think about season
five of "Law & Order."

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Where have you been?

I've been calling you
on your walkie talkie.

- I lost it.
- It's right there.

Wow, thank you for finding it.

Why does the RV smell like dirt?

And why are there extra feet in here?

Look, I didn't wanna show you this,

but now I have no choice.

Eighty years ago, a boy
went missing in Patience.

I found him.

You found a zombie?

That's dangerous, Zombies eat brains.

That's not dangerous for
you. And it's not a zombie.

An alien!

The alien baby must have
found Bobby Smallwood's remains

and used the DNA to take over his body.

- Bad baby!
- [GRUNTS]

- Where are your manners?
- [HISSES]

Why didn't you tell
me you found the alien?

Because you're Harry's puppet,

and he can't know we have the baby.

Hey, Harry's my puppet,
and I won't say anything.

- I don't talk to puppets.
- Good.

Because Harry is breeding
these things to be evil,

but I'm going to thwart his plan

by teaching baby here to be good.

Baby, I told you not to eat your toys!

[HISSES]

What did you do?

Did you order all the
comfort food on the menu?

My dad is afraid your
heart is gonna explode.

I asked them to fry the
pie, but they wouldn't do it!

You know what you're doing here, right?

You were sh*t. You're
scared and confused.

And now you're using food
to make yourself feel better.

Yes, I am. It works.

Humans should do it.

They do.

I'm sorry I erased your memory

and ruined your lunch with Jay.

I should have let you
feel your own pain.

Life is hard...

which is why we have to
deal with the hard stuff,

like the alien baby I now
remember is on the loose.

- I need more fries!
- No.

No more fries until you
admit you're afraid to die.

Are you afraid to die?

Death is complicated.

That's why people don't
really think about it.

Or they eat through their emotions.

See, I'm normal. Hmm?

No, everyone is going to
die someday, and it's scary.

I know that I'm gonna die,
but if I spend every second

worrying about it, then I can't live.

And part of the living
is feeling it all.

The good lifts you up, and
the bad knocks you down,

but you need the bad.
You need those hard times.

If I can get past the bad stuff...

Missing Jay's birthday...

My mom leaving me behind,

the guy trying to k*ll you...
It will make me stronger.

Everyone has their own
relationship with death.

That's mine.

You have to figure out yours.

[GRUMBLES SOFTLY]

Every... every morning,
Elaine would wake early

and have tea ready for
me before I went to work.

I'm glad she's gone.

She'd hate having to see me

in such pain.

You will not be in any pain soon,

when you are dead.

It will be nice to see my wife again.

Will she be waiting for you in hell?

[LAUGHS] No, I hope in heaven.

Oh, I get your fairy tales mixed up.

I am afraid of death.

Oh, you... you... You shouldn't be.

How are you not afraid?
You will be dead soon.

Oh, no.

The things got better when I found out

that I was dying. [CHUCKLES]

It reminded me that life isn't forever.

I-I began to appreciate every moment.

Like when there is only
one slice of pie left...

It tastes better.

Exactly. [CHUCKLES]

[TENDER MUSIC]

♪

Thank you for... For doing this for me.

My friend told me I should
not run away from death.

k*lling you...

is not running away.

Thank you, Harry.

Goodbye, Gerard.

[WHISPERS] What is it like?

[OLIVIER ANDRÈS AND ERIC
BOROIAN'S "MY HEART FALLS"]

How can it be years

since I held your little
body close to mine?

I'm so sorry for the way you found out

I was your mother,

but I'm also grateful that it happened

no matter how hard it
was because now you know.

And sometimes the hardest things in life

create light and hope

and take you one step
closer to happiness.

♪ Through my heart ♪

Happy birthday, my beautiful Jay.

♪ And my heart falls, falls ♪

I love you more than anything.

♪ And my heart falls ♪

Your mom.
