Resident Alien (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Old Friends - full transcript

Harry, the alien, is back on earth but doesn't remember who he is and only Asta can keep him safe.

‐ Previously on "Resident Alien."
‐ Hello, cousin.

You cannot give up
on your mission.

‐ Once I eradicate humanity‐‐

‐ Don't move.

‐ I'll return to my planet
a hero.

‐ If you don't tell me
what is happening,

I'm going to lose my shit.

‐ I am what your people call
an extraterrestrial.

‐ If you kill everyone,
you kill me.

‐ Then I won't kill everyone.
I will miss you, friend.

‐ I'll miss you too, friend.



‐ Hi.
You're taking me home, right?

‐ This is some bullshit.

‐ Being an alien is easier
than being a human.

We have evolved past
having emotions,

so we are not forced
to deal with things

like seasonal depression
or road rage.

We also have no roads,
so nobody can cut you off,

not even Alpha Draconians,

who are lizard‐faced
dickheads.

After living on Earth,

I am not just an alien
with human emotions.

I am an alien
with human memories.

Is there a point where I
become more human than alien?

‐ I wanna go home!



‐ I'm not turning around.

You should've thought of that
before you got in.

‐ I didn't know we were going
all the way to Grandma's house!

‐ Well, now you know,
all right?

You can sing the song "Itsy
Bitsy Spider" to pass the time.

You are the spider because

everyone hates you
and you are itsy bitsy.

‐ You are! And you're mean!
I'm not going.

‐ ♪ And may God's love be
with you ♪

‐ Go ahead.
Jump out of the car.

Your lungs will explode.

I'll enjoy washing your guts
off the side of the car.

‐ Turn around, stupid!
‐ What are you doing? Let go!

Get your hands off the wheel!

‐ ♪ This is ground control
to Major Tom ♪

‐ ♪ You really
made the grade ♪

‐ You've suffered fairly
significant head trauma.

Are you experiencing any issues
with memory loss?



‐ You were pretty dazed
when they brought you in here.

They said they found you
walking down the road naked.

Do you remember anything?

Do you know who you are?

‐ I'm an alien.

♪ ♪

I'm here to kill everyone.

♪ ♪

‐ They have Max.

The military, the mercenaries,
whatever the hell they were.

They must have taken him
out of the warehouse.

‐ You don't know that.
‐ I looked everywhere.

Two hours. Inside, outside.
I mean, Max is gone.

What the hell
am I gonna tell his parents?

‐ Try this.
"Your kid is gone.

There was an alien involved."


Oh.

I can't do it.

‐ Well,
you can't run from this.

I'll be with you
every step of the way.



Okay.

Thanks for coming with me.

‐ Hell, no. I'm not going.
I gotta cook eggs.

Hi, Ben.
‐ Asta, come on in.

You're just in time
for my famous "Bencakes."

Pancakes with a secret twist.
‐ Okay.

‐ The secret ingredient
is brown sugar.

‐ Max.

‐ Family secret ruined.

‐ Asta, hi.
Everything okay?

‐ Yes, of course.

I just wanted to check on Max
and you both.

I heard there was
a break‐in last night.

Well, I wanted to know
what happened.

‐ Oh, you mean the attempted
kidnapping we thwarted?

Had to rough up some perps,
but no B‐I‐G.

‐ Yeah, the police were here
all night

trying to collect evidence,
fingerprints, stuff like that.

‐ Wow.

‐ Asta...

you ever looked down
the barrel of death?

Stare the devil in the face?

‐ Dad, the blueberries
are burning.

‐ Dang it!

‐ Poor Max.

Looks like
he hasn't slept a wink.

‐ That is accurate.

‐ Well, I should go.
I'm just glad you're safe.

Is that blood?

‐ Oh, yeah.

Yeah, there was‐‐
there was blood all over us.

‐ We're safe now.
‐ Yeah, thanks to you.

‐ Mm‐mm.
Thanks to you.

‐ You saved me, Daddy.
‐ Our little baby needs saving.

‐ Our little baby
needs to be saved.

‐ Oh, baby.
‐ Yeah, I do.

‐ Are you okay? Are you scared?
‐ I'm so scared. So upset.

‐ Are you upset?
‐ Well, I should just‐‐

‐ Yeah, I'll walk her out.

‐ What the hell happened
to you?

‐ Meet me at the baseball field
in 20 minutes.

‐ Okay.

♪ ♪

‐ See, this is why I keep
a fishing rod in the truck.

Plus, you put
a french fry on the end,

you can freak the hell
out of some pigeons.

‐ Sir, I don't think

Dr. Vanderspeigle would
want you fishing off his deck.

‐ Trying to get into the mind
of a potential serial killer.

Sick bastard.

He probably sat here fishing
just like this.

‐ Doorknob is a match, which
means the original French doors

ended up in the lake.

These ones are replacements.

‐ Okay, so what we got here?
We got‐‐we got a severed foot.

We got the boot
that held the foot

That lets us know it's not just
some simple swimming accident.

And then somehow,
these doors here,

they end up in the lake.

‐ What if there was a struggle?
‐ Oh, yeah.

See, I love
how your mind works, Deputy.

You're like
a true crime podcast.

Go ahead. Pod me.
‐ All right.

What if they fought inside and
then Harry threw dead foot guy

through the French doors...

and he lands around here.

‐ Yeah, no,
I see where you're going.

And then‐‐and then Dr. V,
he comes out like this.

Grab you like that,
and I throw you in the lake.

‐ You can't.
I'm holding your arms.

‐ What if I got an extra set
of arms I use to choke you out?

♪ ♪

‐ Like an accomplice?

‐ No, like I was in a radiation
accident when I was five,

so my father was a scientist
in the lab and then I snuck in

and then I grew a second pair
of arms and I fight crime.

‐ Huh.

Think we should wait
for the doctor to come home

to talk to him?

‐ No, we don't wanna spook him.

We need to do a deep dive
on him first.

We gotta get inside his head,

find out what makes
this man tick.

‐ Mm.

‐ We can't half‐ass this one.

Stakes are way too high.

You know what? Maybe
I'd be better with six arms.

That's better than four.

Hell, I can cut my shower
in half if I had six arms.

I'd get my nuts and my butt
and my pits,

still have two arms left.

‐ It's a great day to be alive.

♪ ♪

‐ When we crashed,
I blacked out.

I woke up right here.

Watch this.

‐ It's invisible.

Cool, right?

‐ Yeah, cool.

Harry went?

‐ Not home.

♪ ♪

Not without his ship, anyway.

You know, when he left,

I thought I was done
with all this shit.

Sorry.
‐ It's okay.

I like that word.

the hell he is,

but we gotta find him before
someone finds this thing.

It is one of three planets

What's the name of your planet?

‐ Sounds familiar.

D'arcy crushing Jimmy's truck.

‐ What?

cut Jimmy's brakes.

Jay threatened to kill him

It's Cindy over in Braddock.

Thinks he's an alien.

‐ An alien?
Um, wow.

Yeah, yeah.
That's a head injury.

I will be right there, okay?
Thank you.

‐ For humans,

memory is a big part
of who they believe they are.

If a human's brain is damaged
and that memory is affected...

so is their
perception of self.
