Resident Alien (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - End of the World as We Know It - full transcript
Harry must rely on Asta and D'Arcy for survival.
‐ Previously on
"Resident Alien"...
‐ I think this alien's here
to kill everybody.
‐ There's my device.
‐ That's in the glacier.
You can't go there.
Harry, don't go!
It's too dangerous.
‐ These humans believe they're
nothing without one another.
‐ I want you to be comfortable
enough with me
to tell me that I'm wrong.
I want a partner
who challenges me.
‐ You earn respect through
your actions, Deputy.
‐ Well, how about this
for an action?
I quit!
‐ I wanted to go
to the Olympics,
and then this happened.
It was my second mogul run.
It was before the jump,
and I couldn't stop.
I landed, and I heard
a bunch of bones crack.
They said I could've
lost my leg.
‐ Once I eradicate humanity,
I'll return to my planet a hero.
I'm so close
to completing my mission.
‐ Something initiated this.
The ship is tethered. Holy shit.
I know where the alien is!
‐ Harry?
Don't move.
Aah!

your wife dying was true then?
