I need to go home.

You're taking me home, right?

Harry, you can't fix it.

I have to. If I do not, I am stuck here.

If someone sees this,
then things will get worse for you.

- A survival kit.

Botulinum is injectable.

Maybe all he or she would
need to do is inject a toxin

into a single insulin vial.

Both the boot and the foot
were found in the same area.

What if they fought inside,

and then Harry threw dead foot guy

through the front doors?

And I throw you in the lake.

Looks like we might
have a new prime suspect.

You didn't complete your mission.

They'll just send someone

Everyone, including Asta?

She's a human, so yes.

This cannot happen.

Help her what, get a better burial site?

Come on, I mean, she's

Hi, I'm Mayor Mitch.

Summer's just around the corner,

Come taste our world-famous

We have the most pristine
lakes in Colorado,

perfect for boating and swimming,

we have five varieties of trout

and zero varieties of dead human feet.

When people disappear in Jessup,

it's in our world-famous corn maze,

so if you're out of patience,

and you just want to have
some fun, come visit us.

'Cause here in Jessup, the only
m*rder you'll see is onstage

at our summer Shakespeare festival.

Cool.

I'm just gonna put some cyanide

This is pathetic.

You've been digging for a week.

You wouldn't have to do any of this

I could not go home
with that kid on board.

I could never get him past customs.

Yeah, that's why
there's an eject button.

That kid's body should have

been a sh**ting star over Texas.

You don't know anything about space.

You are a Colorado octopus.

she's a real piglet.

- Great.

Maybe Asta's giant father could be

in the bunker with us.

He can cook and clean,

No, it wouldn't work. They
are father and daughter.


They may turn against me

The doctor who replaced
him went missing,

but we expect his body
to turn up any day now.

Oh, don't forget to
enter the corpse raffle.

- What the hell is this?
- Look, everyone.

It's our town mayor, Ben Hawthorne.

Great-great-grandson of Dickie Hawthorne

who d*ed the day the mine collapsed,

but not with his fellow miners.

No, Dickie called in sick that day.

His wife found him in the whorehouse

and sh*t him in the face.

- I'm related to him.
- No, just an old rumor, buddy.

Old rumor, not true.

We're walking. Come on.

Take your pictures if you'd like.

Come on. Let's get a move on, Deputy.

Sir, you're not gonna believe
who just returned my call.

St. Helens Hospital said
Dr. Vanderspeigle was disciplined

after they found him in a lab
he wasn't authorized to be in.

And do you know what
they kept stored there?

- What?
- Botulinum toxin.

Are you sh1tting me? Damn.

We might have put the
wrong person behind bars.

Looks like it's time to
talk to Dr. Vanderspeigle.

- Yeah.
- But first,

I have to drop off this dry cleaning.

What? Justice doesn't wait
for no dry cleaning.

It's half-price Tuesdays.

This is some sh*t here.

People, stay together.
We have a lot to see.

Oh, my God.

Oh, another special treat today.

Here we have the Patience sheriff

who single-handedly put
the wife of Sam Hodges in jail.

Rumor has it she's close
to death in her prison cell,

rats waiting to feast
on her k*ller corpse.

We're walking. Bye, handsome.

Hey, I'd like you to play

Wait, I know this voice. D'arcy?

No, this Sasha. Hello, yes.

Yeah, D'arcy. We dated for five months.

I think I know your voice,

you stole six bottles

I don't have no stealing wine.

Only vodka, so okay.
Play song for best friend.

- Jesus.
- And then go.

Fine. Here's The Breeders, I guess.

Why do you have a fallout

I built it for us,

What?

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

My people are coming to k*ll everyone.

When?

Octopus thinks it may
be a matter of weeks.

Whoops.

Hello again, stupid human.

God, I hate when you do that.

The bathroom will be over here

if they come before I get a real toilet,

we can use this bucket.

It is unisex.

Oh, and I am getting a cow
if I can figure out

how to get it through the opening.

- You're joking, right?
- You are right.

The opening is too small.

I may get a baby cow and raise it.

Harry, this is not okay.

This was all supposed to be over with.

Why are your people coming?

They are... how did you put it?

Oh, it was "eager to
fry all you Earth pigs."

That.

I can't do this. No, no, no.

You expect me to live
underground with you for weeks?

Oh, no. It will be at least a year.

Nope, this isn't happening.

I'm not living in a hole

Oh, wait.

Well, that's fine with me.

You think I want to spend the next year

Shh-shh!

Huh.

Don't go. It will be fun.

Octopus knows so many cuttlefish jokes.

They are so stuck up.

You're not taking me seriously.

Pizza.

You have to do something about this,

You're an alien. You know, phone home.

Call them, and tell them not to come.

Did I tell you that we are
going to have all seasons

Oh, God.

I would rather die than be
on this planet with just you.

- You don't get it.

So what, I'm just supposed to
come out after the apocalypse,

and everyone I know is dead?

I'm here all alone?

Also rude.

I'm talking about my family.
What about Dad and D'arcy?

What about Jay?

God, no. Don't you understand?

I can't live here if I have
to live without all of them.

So there you go, call them,

and tell them not to
come, or I will just die.

I know what this is.

You are bluffing, like in poker.

No, I'm not!

I would rather stand under
your stupid planet's death ray

She is good at bluffing.

I could possibly contact them,

but I want to k*ll all
the bags of douches.


It is my turn to bluff.

It's impossible. I cannot contact them.

Now you're bluffing.

I am bad at bluffing.

Okay, okay. I'll call your bluff.

If you don't mind that I die, good.

- What are you doing?
- I think I'll take a bath.

You are not really going
to electrocute yourself.

I've got the toaster all plugged in.

Whoo, nice and warm.
Really good way to go out.

Call it off, Harry.

I told you I cannot.

I do not like this game.
The stakes are too high.


You are not really in the bathtub.

If the toaster is plugged in,

it is because you are making toast.

Asta.

You didn't bring the bread.

This is very dangerous.

Then agree to call your people.

Okay.

It went straight to voicemail.

Goodbye, Harry.

See? I knew you didn't want me to die.

You just took your damn time showing it.

Of course I do not want you to die.

I will try to build a radio

Be careful getting out of the tub.

Don't slip.
