02x06 - An Alien in New York

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Resident Alien"...

- What are you doing?
- Sorry.

- I'm married.
- Sorry about that.

You're not getting your ball back.

I've hidden it where
you'll never find it.

Where's Murphy?

"If you ever want to see your dog again,

return my alien ball."

Ball!

Who took it?

We just picked up a signal...

Lines of encrypted code,
but the signature is alien.

Seriously? What does it say?

It's a phone number

from New York City.

Demelio's Pizzeria, East rd Street.

Pack your bags. We're going to New York.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Open up, it's me.

Harry.

- Sam?
- I can't do this anymore.

It's gotten way out of hand.

All right, take it easy.
What's... what's wrong?

- _
- This is what's wrong.

Is this supposed to
be some kind of thr*at?

They sent me the same things...

Photos of Isabelle, Liza.

When we went to that
charity thing in New York,

they said that the money
was for the clinic...

A donation, they called it.

Well, this doesn't feel like
a donation anymore, Harry.

- Okay, you need to calm down.
- Calm down? I can't calm down!

They're threatening our families!

- We need to go to the authorities.
- And tell them what?

Anything you say could
also implicate us.

Is that what you want?

We don't have any concrete evidence.

- We have the medical records.
- That's not enough.

We cannot cross these people
without an actual plan.

Okay.

You keep bringing me the records,

and I'll work on digging
up some more proof.

Just give me a few months, okay?

Sam, I promise.

Two months.

[LINE TRILLING]

Sam Hodges was just here.

He's threatening to go to the police.

What do you want me to do?

[BROWN BIRD'S "BILGEWATER"]

"Mayor Ben's Major b*mb."

Man.

"Experiencing Ben
Hawthorne's Family Day play,

"you feel as if you're
standing in a mine

"holding a stick of lit dynamite,

counting down the seconds
until it's finally over."

I don't read the "Patience Post,"

and neither does anyone else
'cause it's a garbage paper.

Yeah, well, maybe nobody else reads it

'cause you got all the
copies here in your office.

The town deserves the truth,

you know, not lies written by
a girl I went to school with

and hates me 'cause
I'm great at times tables.

Uh, times is . Still got it.

Yeah, you still got it.

But maybe, uh, you should
keep reading, though.

- _
- Look at that.

Jessup is trying to
build a five-star resort

- to boost tourism.
- Great.

I'll get revenge on their
mayor by stress vomiting

in their Michelin star restaurant.

Well, man, not if it's
your restaurant first.

I mean, the resort company's
still in the scouting phase.

Who says it's got to be Jessup?

That Grady property up on the ridge

is already begging to be developed.

A resort? Huh.

Could be a great way
to increase tourism,

you know, get some money coming in.

Exactly. More tourism, more revenue.

I can get that air
fryer for the break room.

Health is wealth. You understand?

Yeah, I'll... I'll poll the town,

see if the idea resonates with people.

You know what?

- That's a great idea.
- Yeah.

And you should also get a banner

to fly all over Colorado that says,

"Please steal our resort idea."

Hmm. Not sure the sarcasm is necessary.

[SIGHS]

Look, I'm sorry, all right?
I'm just tired, you know.

Cletus is in this humping stage.

You know, I had to spend half the night

defending my easy chair.

Speaking of, do you
know anything about, uh,

getting stains out of couch cushions?

I mean deep stains.

No, you know anything about
getting disgusting images

out of my head?

No.

Don't tell nobody
about that resort idea.

[KNOCKS ON DESK]

It doesn't matter what clothes you wear.

You're still gonna be covered
in that gross skin suit

when you meet this alien.

You're just jealous because I discovered

another alien who is my
people, my real family.

You are just a distant cousin
who lives in a mobile home.

Hey, cousins are real family.

I'm at least more family

than that dumb land seal
sitting next to you.

Do not talk badly about this beast.

When I give him treats, he is happy!

When I give you shrimps,
all you do is complain.

All I said was,

"Could you serve them with a smile?"

- Mm.
- [DOOR OPENS]

Close the shutters.

Dark storm cloud is approaching.

- Ah, ha ha!
- Eat sh*t, bottom-feeder.

[LAUGHS LOUDLY]

We fly later tonight,

but I maxed out my credit cards,

so eat a lot before you go
'cause we can't afford food.

- Money is not a problem.
- [SIGHS]

We can just take some
from the money bag.

[LAUGHS] Yeah, sure.

What the...?

Where the hell did
you get all this money?

It came with the house.

And there is one coupon

for a free sundae at
Mrs. Peaches Ice Cream.

Do you know where I can
find this Mrs. Peaches?

Harry, houses don't just come
with duffel bags full of money.

What is this?

Holy sh*t!

It's Sam and the real
Harry Vanderspeigle.

That is the daughter-child

b-before her hair turned green.

Look, Sam wrote Harry a note.

"Harry, you wanted more evidence

"against Galvan/Powell Group.

Here. Call me."

These are Sam's medical records.

- What are they doing here?
- [GRUNTS SOFTLY]

You didn't see this at
the bottom of the bag?

I got distracted by the coupon.

[SIGHS] Who the hell
is Galvan/Powell Group?

Mm.

Okay, people do not just
carry this much cash on them.

And... and if they do,
it's because they stole it

or they were paid to
do something illegal.

He was a bad man.

Yes.

Real Harry k*lled Sam, so maybe, uh,

Galvan/Powell Group
was behind it somehow?

But why would anyone want to k*ll Sam?

And why did Sam give
Harry his medical records?

And why do you have a dog?

I'm a dog person now.

I was just looking at the call logs.

Did you know that there were
three separate phone calls

about a meteor a while back?

Yeah, I think I know where
you're going with this,

and I'm not liking it.

Sir, I just think
that we should consider

that maybe it wasn't a meteor.

- Maybe it was a U...
- Deputy, no.

- F...
- Please don't. Please.

- O.
- Damn it!

You're supposed to be
an officer of the law.

Sir, I just have a strong feeling

in my gut here, and you always told me

I should trust my gut.

Deputy, look, I appreciate
mystical creatures, all right?

I really do.

Well, except for mermaids.

You know, where they get
off sitting up on the rocks

all high and mighty,

expecting you to ask them out on a date?

I mean, why they so stuck up?

I mean, if you have fish,

you gonna smell all like
fish, you understand?

- Gross.
- Look, here is the deal.

You want to hunt for
aliens? That's fine.

You do it on your time, not mine.

Yes, sir.

[MUSIC STOPS, LIGHT APPLAUSE]

- Thank you, Ed.
- Wow. Nice song.

Get in here. What do you want?

You want something that burns the chest

or burns the throat?

Actually, uh, I'm here
in a mayoral capacity.

I need to borrow one of
those ATVs tomorrow morning.

That doesn't sound very mayoral.

What's it for?

Uh, well, I-I just need to update

the, uh, Patience website.

Wanted to get a-a few
pictures of the Grady property.

Oh. Okay, great.

Well, um, I'm off work
tomorrow, so I can take you.

No.

No, no. No need to do that.

You know, I mean, I prefer to ride solo.

You know, bit of a...
bit of a lone wolf.

Like when you crashed your tricycle

into the pond when you were seven?

Uh, you pushed me down a hill.

Hey, good luck proving
that in a court of law.

Anyway, um, there's only one ATV

available at the Outfitters,

and it needs to be driven
by an insured driver.

And since they were
stupid enough to insure...

[CLICKS TONGUE]
This guy, I have to take you.

So pick you up at : ?

Great.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Hello?

What?

I know you're in there.

Do not put that thing

in here with me... I'm trying to read.

- Hello.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

This is a home invasion!

Why are you alone?
Where is sh*t for brains?

Did you get a divorce?

Divorce is against my religion

unless it's initiated by the man,

which is why I'm never getting married.

That is good news for men everywhere.

I see that you have agreed to my terms.

You give me my ball, and
I give you your dog back.

Funny story about the ball,

really funny, actually.

Why do I feel like this
is n-not going to be funny?

Well, you know how Max

- stole the ball from you.
- Mm.

- I stole it from him.
- [GROANS]

And then somebody stole it from me.

Isn't that hysterical?

What? [STAMMERS] Who stole it from you?

Probably the government. Crazy, right?

Someday you'll laugh about it.

I'll take the dog now.

No! You will not have the dog!

Hey, put me... put me down.

[GROANING]

- Oh, no.
- Yes!

Yes, you should be afraid

of what I will do to you.

That ball can do more
than just grow hair

all over your stupid fart friend.

I can control its energy.
I can turn you inside out!

And then you will go to school

- with your inside-out body!
- Harry.

Turn around, you dummy.

- [BARKS]
- [YELLS]

Get away! No!

Oh! !

I-I-I... [GROANS]

Can't see. I can... Is
it... is it you, cousin?

Yes, it is me. I am here.

- You are going to be okay.
- No.

It's my time.

I've... I've lived a good life.

Oh, you should've fed the dog

before you put him in there with me.

No, you... you cannot die!

I'm sorry that I told you
you were not my real family.

You had angered me by demanding

that we watch home-improvement shows.

You live in water.

I mean, what do you care
about breakfast nooks?

I'm sorry!

- It's okay.
- [SOBS]

It's okay.

It's okay.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

You have real family now...

i-in New York.

[CHOKES] Go.

Find your alien...

- [SNIFFLES]
- For me.

[BOTH EXHALE DEEPLY]

I will never forget you.

It was an honorable death.

Honor my life by...

eating my dead body

in a butter sauce with a...

a nice... like,
a really nice Chardonnay.

[BOTH GROAN]

.

No!

No! !

No!

You can't go!

Stay with me! Stay with me!

Ha ha! This is awesome!

This is awful. Too many people.

The last island that had
this many humans on it

was Atlantis, and that
did not turn out well.

That man has so many pigeon pets

and not one of them is on a leash.

Okay, the hotel is this way. Stay close.

- [SIREN WAILING]
- This is a mean joke.

In order to find the one
alien on Earth like me,

I must wade through
this sea of humanity.

If I had an alien ball,

I could just turn them all to stone

so they would stop bumping into me,

or at least make them stink less.

[GROANS]

Asta, why does this city smell

like so many things ripening at once?

[YELPS]

You're not Asta!

You... Asta!

Asta!

- [HIGH-PITCHED VOICE] Asta!
- Get over here right now!

I told you to stay close.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Wow. I forgot how awesome this is.

Yeah, right?

Mr. Grady used to let me train up here.

Yeah, my dad used to bring
me up here when I was a kid.

Well, take a few more,
and then we'll head up top

where there's a real view.

Uh, u-up top?

- How are we gonna get up there?
- [CHUCKLES]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

You're gonna love it. [CHUCKLES]

Next! What can I get you?

Um, I'd like two slices of pepperoni.

Anything else?

And... [SIGHS]

We were sent here.

We got a signal.

Does that mean anything to you?

Hmm?

You want something?

Does an alien live here?

I'll take one pepperoni slice.

One sausage slice.

One more pepperoni slice.

One more sausage slice.

I don't need this sh*t. $ . .

Make it one more slice of sausage.

Harry.

Also, we would like to meet the alien,

if you did not hear me before.

How many pieces of
pepperoni did I order?

You pay for your pizza,

or you get out.

Of course.

Here, have some closet cash.

No! My God. Oh.

Uh, um, you know what?

Uh, go ahead, keep the change.

Thank you so much.

[DOOR CHIMES]

I didn't realize I had to teach you

how to order food.

This is incredible.

Am I supposed to eat the plate?

- No.
- Can I?

Mmm, it's oiled.

Mmm.

[GROANS]

I don't get it.

This is the number you got.

Something has to be here!

I wonder if the number's
for whoever had it

before the pizza place.

They have to make that
information public, don't they?

What are you doing?

Are you listening to me?

It says "Goliath."

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

How do you know that?

Because it is written
in my alien language.

[LAUGHS]

- Told you you could do it.
- [GROANS]

Ah.

Look at this view.

Worth it?

Worth it.

Oh, thanks.

sh*t, I didn't think of it.

I should've told you to bring Kate.

She would love this.

Oh, she, uh, took Max to her
mom's for a couple nights.

Oh, Benny, all alone.

Let me guess, cartoons
and cereal for breakfast,

cartoons and cereal for dinner.

Ah, definition of a perfect day.

And with Kate gone,
I don't have to worry

about holding in my farts.

You don't fart around your wi...

What's the point of being married

if you can't fart around your wife?

[CHUCKLES] Yeah, I don't do
a lot of things around Kate.

[SCOFFS] What does that mean?

No, I don't know.

[STAMMERS] Sometimes I just feel

like I can't be myself in front of her,

you know, can't do the
things that I want to do.

I thought you guys were
getting along great.

The way she talks about
it, your house is all

handcuffs and frozen dildos.

Oh, yeah, she was...

She was just kidding about that stuff.

No, she wasn't. No, it's real.

And it lives inside me forever now.

It's little things.

I-I have this wall hanging

that I-I want to put
up in the living room,

but she'd hate it,

so it's been in the closet
for six months.

Oh, that's messed up.

I mean, it's your house, too, right?

Just do what you want.

If she doesn't like
it, that's her issue.

It's not that simple.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

Oh, sh**t.

Gee, I didn't know
things were like that...

for you.

I'm sorry that I kissed you that night.

I shouldn't have done that.
It was a shitty thing to do.

Sorry.

Ah, you couldn't help it.

I mean...

look at me.

- Yeah, you're quite a sight.
- [BOTH LAUGH]

So apparently Goliath
is a famous street artist

and a total recluse.

He's done a bunch of murals in the city.

But each time he does a new one,
it appears overnight.

They've even nicknamed him
"The Ghost of New York."

- [TRUCK HORNS BLARING]
- That does not make sense.

Ghosts do not even have
hands to hold a paintbrush.

sh*t!

Where? Where? Where?

No, no, listen to this.

"Nobody's ever met Goliath,

but countless people have tried."

If nobody knows who he is,
how are we gonna find him?

Did that mural mean something?

No, but aliens do not paint images

on dirty walls for decoration.

Everything he does has a purpose.

Which is?

I need to see all the murals.

Then I will know.

Okay, let's look up the next one.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- This way.
- Mm. Mm.

All right.

If you could explain the events

leading up to the call...

Well, I look up, and there it was,

sailing across the sky.

Everything all right out here, Deputy?

Yes, sir.

Mrs. Plunkett was robbed last night.

I'm telling her about the UFO I saw.

I even got it on video.

- [LIV GASPS]
- Deputy.

- Deputy.
- Sir.

A word, please.

Excuse me.

Robbed?

Yes, sir.

Mrs. Plunkett was robbed...

of her sense of innocence
that aliens don't exist.

Okay, now, you think
police work is a joke, huh?

You think this is a game.
What you think...

I got Willy Wonka tattooed on my ass

'cause it's a chocolate
factory or something?

I swear, everything I say

goes in one ear and right out the other.

Oh, right now that'd be nice.

- Hey, hey.
- Sir.

- Sir.
- Hold on. Hold.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
Deputy! Stay back, stay back!

Hold on! Wait, wait! Hold on, Deputy.

Hold on. Step back, I got
this. Get down, get down!

Damn it, Deputy,
I told you to stay back!

Why would I stay back?

Because I said so, that's why!

You think this is a game?
This is how people get k*lled!

Get up, get your ass up. Come over here.

I'm tired of this.

Okay, I think the real
Harry Vanderspeigle

received a large sum of money

from the Galvan/Powell
Group here in New York.

What?

We are supposed to be
looking for Goliath murals.

We are, I just... I just
need five minutes, okay?

The botulin in the floorboards,
the bag of money,

the note from Sam to real Harry...

If this company is
connected, I need to know.

I'm starting to doubt

everything I ever knew about Sam.

- Fine.
- No, no, no, no.

No, no. I have to go by myself, okay?

If they are connected
at all to Sam's death,

they might recognize you,
and it's way too dangerous.

Just stay here.

I'll be right...

_

I'll be right back!

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

I must find Goliath.

He is as close as I can
get to my home planet.

I do not know how
much of my alien self

I have forgotten.

Goliath will remind me
of my true identity.

The murals will lead me
to him and to myself.

Harry Vanderspeigle.

What the hell are you doing here?

Son of a bitch.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Harry, what are you doing here?

Why are you in New York?

It appears this man
knows Harry, but how?

Is he a friend? An enemy?

Are you listening to me, assh*le?

Not a friend.

I am drinking coffee...

and I am eating pie.

Mmm!

I like pie.

It is like cake, but
made with real food.

You were supposed to stay in Colorado

and do your g*dd*mn work.

So let me ask you again,
why are you in New York?

I wanted to see the home
of "Law & Order."

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

You think this is a joke?

At least tell me you
destroyed the medical records.

I destroyed the...

[WHISPERING] medical records.

Are you just saying that?

[NORMAL VOICE] You told me to say that.

- But did you do it?
- You heard me do it.

I just said it out loud.

I'm talking about the medical records.

Yes, I told you I destroyed
the medical records.

- So you did it.
- Are you're listening?

I said it. You are sitting right there.

Not said it, did it.

Did...

what?

I am confused. I need more pie.

It will help me think.

You have no idea who
you are dealing with.

You are making a huge mistake.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Mm.

Hello.

You just missed a well-dressed man

with a short memory.

I heard. He was talking
about the medical records

that Sam gave to Harry.

Enjoy.

You ordered me pie?

No.

- How do you feel?
- [EXHALES DEEPLY]

Good.

Really good.

I feel a little wild, actually.

Maybe I don't like smashing my knee.

Sir, how do you like living on the edge?

- [EXHALES DEEPLY]
- Huh?

All right, we need to celebrate.

Yeah, I have beer in the fridge.

One beer... Well, uh, half a beer.

Actually, I think it's open,
but w-we could split it.

I hid joints in your
closet in high school.

Maybe they're still there.

Uh, that's Max's room now.

There's-there's weed
in my child's bedroom?

Hope so.

Uh, uh, D'arc, you're,
uh... You're kidding, right?

I couldn't get into the building.

Security was ridiculous.

That guy recognized you.

You must work for them.

Are you sure he didn't
say anything else?

- Anything about Sam?
- He called me an assh*le.

What are you doing?

I am marking every one of
Goliath's murals in the city

so that we can visit them.

Wow, that's a lot.

Wait.

What? What do you see?
It's just a bunch of dots.

Whoa.

Harry.

[GRUNTS]

[INQUISITIVE MUSIC]

Mm.

What do you see?

The constellation Ursa Major.

Goliath targeted locations
throughout the city

to form the night sky.

Each star is a mural.

The signal was not
meant for just anyone.

Goliath meant it for me.

What does this mean?

This star is Goliath's sun,

my sun.

[CHUCKLES]

That is where we will find Goliath.

[UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Someone here must be Goliath.

Um, you see anyone
that looks alien to you?

I do not see any humans.

Try to be inconspicuous, okay?

Blend into the background,
avoid attention.

Worry about yourself.

My lineage includes the
superorder Octopodiformes.

Camouflage is in my DNA.

Care for a hors d'oeuvres?

- Oh.
- Yes.

I will have all the d'oeuvres.

[CHUCKLES] It's just one, sir.

No. Uh...

- Ow, ow, ow!
- [GRUNTING]

[LAUGHS]

Smooth.

Um, excuse me.

Hi. Excuse me, can you tell
us the name of the host?

Yes. It's Violinda Darvell.

Okay, um...

Oh.

Are you enjoying my home?

I-I'm sorry I didn't know it was you.

I'm Asta. This is Harry.

Tell us where Goliath is!

This one isn't lacking conviction.

No, he lacks a few other things.

Mm.

Everything you need to know
about Goliath is on the canvas.

There's nothing more I can tell you.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

Evening, Deputy.

- Thanks for meeting me here.
- Yeah.

So what is this, huh? Let me guess.

You're upset with me

'cause I yelled at you
earlier today, right?

Maybe I shouldn't have yelled.

I'll admit that, but I told you...

I said, do not engage.
That's what I said...

What are you... hey! What
do you think you're doing?

What is this sh*t?

Okay.

This isn't about you yelling.

This is about why you're yelling,

why you've been acting weird all summer.

You need to tell me
what's going on with you.

We're not leaving until you do.

I told you why I was yelling at you...

'cause I told you to stay
back and you defied my orders.

Now uncuff me.

You know what? It is
a nice night for froyo.

So I'm going to get some. I'll be back.

Hey, hey, hey, Deputy.
Hey, I ain't playing around.

I ain't messing around. You
better uncuff me, damn it.

I'm not messing around either.

Don't you be putting your
hands on your hips to me.

And you walking away with an attitude.

[MELLOW MUSIC]

I cannot believe there's
been weed in my kid's closet

all these years.

It's awful.

I mean, it's tucked above the doorframe.

Your kid's short.

He wouldn't have
discovered it for years.

Hopefully the next
one eats her broccoli.

Mm, slow down. There
won't be a next one.

You sure about that?

Your hot wife seems like
she's perpetually in heat.

[SCOFFS] Well, an ovulation calendar

helps with that.

I'm surprised she keeps
track of that sh*t.

She doesn't. I do.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Jesus Christ.

I thought I was a disaster.

Look, I'm not proud of it,

but, I mean, come on, one kid is plenty.

Also, you are not a disaster.

Yeah, I am. Look at me.

I'm sitting on your bed in
your bedroom, smoking weed.

I haven't moved in years.

You don't give yourself enough credit.

I wouldn't even be here right now

if it weren't for you.

What are talking about?

That night the kidnappers came,

I was standing on the front porch,

waiting for Mike to get
there, and I thought,

you know, "What would D'arcy do?"

That's what I did.

Really?

You saved my family, so...

I think you can
definitely save yourself.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Live, laugh, love.

[SIGHS]

Wow.

I thought it was a really
stupid sign, but...

now I get it.

The sign says a lot.

Hey...

you awake?

How do we even know?

I mean, Goliath could
be any of these people.

It could be Violinda.

I am sure Goliath will be in alien form.

I will call him

using my people's silent distress call.

It is not perceivable to human ears.

Okay.

[UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[SHRIEKING]

- I think I perceived it.
- No. What?

Yeah.

It must not work

because of my stupid human vocal chords.

I don't think he's
gonna be in alien form.

Look at this.

Look at the year.

Goliath's been on Earth
for more than a decade.

That's long enough to
establish a presence,

to create a life for himself,

to become more human.

No.

Don't you see? Look at the painting.

Art is interpretive, so it
takes how we feel on the inside

and helps us to express
it on the outside.

So whoever painted this feels...

pain...

loss, sadness.

Then why is he hiding from the world

if he is in human form?

Maybe he feels bad about
who he is like you do,

so he hides.

I'm not hiding. I'm standing right here.

Where is he? He is nowhere.

[SERIOUS MUSIC]

Hey, hey, we're gonna find him, okay?

Let's split up. We'll cover more ground.

You stay here. I'll
cover the back, okay?

This cannot be.

I came all the way
here to find family,

to find my people.

If Goliath is human,
he is not my people.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

How could I be so ignorant?

This entire time I've been expecting

to meet one of my
kind, one of my people,

and Goliath has already been
contaminated by humanity.

I should just let my people come.

It has traces of Van
Gogh, don't you think?

His self-portrait era?

I do not like paintings.

You might like it if you saw it breathe.

Your d'oeuvres are very flat.

It's LSD.

A hallucinogenic?

They say Goliath believes
acid helps you shed

your human chains

and experience art

the way it was meant to be experienced.

I would...

- like to shed my human chains.
- Mm-hmm.

[INQUISITIVE MUSIC]

Took you long enough.

Mmm.

You said I could trust my gut

when I was off duty.

Well, I'm off duty.

And I think there's
something going on with you.

Okay, you know what? Fine. Fine.

Six years ago, I lost my partner in D.C.

He was sh*t and k*lled
in the line of duty.

You happy now?

Oh, no.

Sir, I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

And I'm sorry I yelled at
you, but the anniversary

was a while ago, and it always...

It messes with my head
every time it comes around.

Can you unlock me now, please?

Oh, God, sorry.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Thank you.

Now, if that'll be all,

I'm gonna go home and
be with my dad, okay?

I like nights like this...

Real summer nights.

Summer's for kids, you know?

Yeah.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[INHALES DEEPLY] His name was Jesse.

I don't know...
I was, like, years old.

I had seen him around the neighborhood.

You know, he'd follow
me around sometimes,

but I never... I never spoke to him.

And then one night, it
was, like, : , and, um...

there's a knock at the door, right?

Now, you don't just go
knocking on nobody door

at that time of night, right?

So my dad, he... He answers the door

with his service
revolver behind his back.

And, uh...

And when he opened it up, it
was this scrawny little kid

standing there talking about,
"Can Mikey come out and play?"

[CHUCKLES]

I couldn't believe it
when my dad said, "Yeah."

So I went on out.

That was it, you know?

From that day on, we was best friends.

We did everything together, you know,

all through grade school,
through high school.

Went through the academy together.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

Everything was me and him.

I mean, he and I...

We were practically brothers
for over years, you know?

I mean, this is somebody I
laughed with until I cried

and cried with until I
laughed again, you know?

And then, uh...

and then he's just... He's just gone...

forever, you know?

I just... I don't understand grief.

Don't make no sense to me.

You know, you find a way to...

you know, to step over
it and move past it,

go around it, but that...

That emptiness, it don't ever go away.

I'm here. You can talk. It's okay.

It's my fault that he's gone.

I sent him up those stairs.
I told him to go that way.

No.

It's my fault that he's
dead, and I just... I can't...

I can't lose you.

I can't have nothing
happen to you, Deputy.

If something happened to you...

You'd what? k*ll me?

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, that's what I do.

I'd m*rder your corpse.

Nothing's gonna happen to me, okay?

And nothing is going to happen
to you, because I won't let it.

Oh...

Thank you.

- [CHILDREN LAUGHING]
- [CHUCKLES, SNIFFLES]

Summers are for kids, you know?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

This drug seems to only
affect men with mustaches

shaped like tentacles.

I do not feel a thing.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Oh, sh*t.

Hi, excuse me, do any
of you happen to know

where I could find Goliath?

Um... [BOTH LAUGHING]

Is that a no?

I can see you're still searching

for The Ghost of New York.

Come.

His paintings are
completely unavailable,

of course, legally,

but I can give you a couple of names.

There is a robust black market.

I don't think you understand.
I don't need his paintings.

I need him.

They've become quite valuable.

I'd never sell one, of
course, certainly not this one.

Goliath painted it for me.

[INTENSE ROCK MUSIC]

Oh.

I think I'm okay now.

[GIGGLES]

[YELPS]

Ah! [MUFFLED YELL]

It wasn't just about art, though.

I think Goliath needed me.

Tell me...

How long have you
known Harry is an alien?

- You can go.
- All right, thanks.

What can I get you?

What do you got?
