[DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE]

EVE: So,
down this way is the bathroom,

which I would like everyone
to use.

I don't want
semi-strangers using

my master bedroom bathroom.

This is a new parent dinner
for third grade parents

and my husband and I are some
of the new parents.

We want to make an impression.
[WHISPERING]: We don't want

to start a party war,
if you know what I mean.



[LAUGHING]: Parents just get
so competitive.

No problem.
Absolutely.

Now, I was thinking of putting
the bar out here on the patio

because that'll force people
to mingle, right? LEE: Yeah, I agree.

That way, everyone has to go
all the way through your house

and see everyone
if they want to get a drink.

That's what I was thinking.
Anna!

Oh. [SPEAKING SPANISH]

Wait. Am I going to have to
rent heaters for the patio?

Anna!

ANNA: Hmm?
Delivery.

But, renting heaters
would be worth it

because it would keep people
out of the house. Right?

Now, how much setup time
do you need?



And you guys oversee everything,
right?

'Cause I'd rather not have
to do anything.

♪ ♪

Mrs. Eve?

I-I didn't mean to scare you.

Oh, sorry, I was just...
In another world, there.

Good night.
Thank you for everything.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Can-can I ask...
eh, you a question?

Yes, sure.
Is everything okay?

Yes. Yes.

Well, my grandson, we want him
to go to the charter school.

Matheson Charter?
Yes.

But my daughter does not live
in that district.

Wait...
You have a grandson?

How did I not know this?

Look at him.

He's adorable.

Daniel.

Well, how can I help Daniel?

Well...

Can we use your address

as his home address?

You do live in the
school district.

I don't want you to get
in any trouble, Mrs. Eve.

Daniel was born here.
He's legal.

I will work your party
or anything for free.

I would owe you so much.

You don't owe me anything.

Of course you can
use our address.

You're part of our family, Anna.

Daniel should go
to any school he wants.

[SIGHS]: Oh, thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Eve.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Is that someone at the door?

I'll-I'll get it on the way out.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Anna. Anna, wait a minute!

Anna, I'll get the door.
[SIREN WAILING]

Anna Giron Y Fuentes?
ANNA: No. Please.

OFFICER: Mrs. Fuentes,
you're gonna have to come with us.

[GASPS]
[GRUNTS]

OFFICER: Manos en la...
Manos en la cabeza.

You two, upstairs, now.

[PANTING]

Oh. Anna, um...
Where are you taking her?

We have a 10-15,
pilgrim confirmed.

When Bill gets home,
we'll get a lawyer!

It was an absolute nightmare.

They just walked in through
the front door, guns out,

and took Anna away.
And I said,

"You cannot walk into my house
and do this."

You said that?
Of course I did.

Anna's part of our family.

So brave.

It's so awful.

I'm so sorry, Eve.

I gotta say though,

these people know the risks
when they come here.

What can you do?

I mean,
it's unfortunate and everything,

but it is illegal, right?

Gretchen.
You know what I mean.

So what happens now?

I don't know.

We have no idea
where they took Anna.

Bill hired an attorney
and they can't find her.

Her family hasn't heard either.

I just... I can't believe
this is happening to her.

GRETCHEN: The thing is, too, is that

the next person you find is just
going to have the same problems.

STACEY: Right?
[CHUCKLES]

Lucy came to us and wanted
health insurance.

And we're like,
"Do you watch the news?"

Legal Americans
can't get health insurance.

I know.
Lete wanted to pay taxes.

I said, "If you want
to be a real American,

you try to get out of paying taxes.
"Right?

CONSTANCE: They just don't know how
things like that are not helping them.

GRETCHEN: Mm.

It could expose us.
And them.

ISABELLE: Hey, Mom, can we have

plantains for breakfast?
EVE: Have what?

ISABELLE: Plantains.
It's what they eat

for breakfast in Guatemala.

JACKIE: When does
Anna come back?

Well... Anna went back to
Guatemala to visit her family.

But we're her family.

Well, Anna has her own family, too.

Hey. Tomorrow night is our new
parent dinner thing,

- so tonight it's... Grubhub!
- [CHEERING]

I hope she's okay.

WILLIAM: We'll find her.

Somehow.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]

Mom, you're kinda
parked in two spots.

We won't be long.

Anna hates when
people park like you.

"No seas pendejo!"

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, Mom, can I have a dollar?

For what?
Otto.

No, honey,
you're too young to play the lotto.

No, Otto.
He plays guitar.

He's always here.

- Hey, Otto.
- Hey, Otto.

OTTO: Hey, Jackie.

Brought your mom today, huh?

ISABELLE: Mom,
we didn't get ice cream.

[WHISPERS]: Ice cream is bad.

Do you have a rewards card?

Um... Uh, no.

Oh, uh, I don't know.

ISABELLE: 6655213.

$356. 19.

[BOTH GIGGLE]

Is there another card
you'd like to use?

What for?

This one's been declined.

What?

No, that's... that's impossible.
SHOPPER 1: Come on. Hurry up.

SHOPPER 2: Are you serious?

SHOPPER 3: Hey,
what's the holdup?

SHOPPER 4: Come on.

[WHISPERS]: Okay.
Sure.

That one's declined, too.

Seriously?
SHOPPER 4: Come on, lady.

Jesus.

Something's wrong
with your machine.

Something's wrong with you.
Can you please call for another checker?

Maybe you can step out of line
until I get a manager.

Okay, fine, you know what?

Just forget it.
SHOPPER 3: What's going on up there?

Forget it.
Forget it.

You don't want my money,
keep your goddamn groceries.

Come on, let's go.
Put in her card twice.

What about the groceries?
We're going to another store.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS] Mom.
Are we going to get in trouble

for leaving all those groceries?

Get in the car.

[TIRES SCREECH]

What is this now?

Excuse me!
I'm trying to get out.

Could you please pull up a bit?

Mom, just pay for the groceries.

EVE: Excuse me, I'm trying to
leave, could you pull up a bit?

[ISABELLE AND JACKIE GASP]

Good afternoon.

Are you Eve Martin?

Yes.

Please step out of the vehicle
and come with us.

You have the wrong Eve Martin.

You girls, come with us.

Mom!
EVE: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No. You leave my kids alone.
It's all right, Mrs. Martin.

For safety's sake, your
children will be transported

to the facility in
a separate vehicle.

Facility?
Yes, ma'am.

Your husband's on
his way, as well.

This is a matter
of national security.

Meet Eve Martin.

Loving mother, devoted wife,
active in her community.

Eve was raised to view the world

from a bubble of comfort,
safety and privilege.

But that bubble...
is about to burst.

And when it does,
she will find herself

within the strange
and unfamiliar borders...

of The Twilight Zone.

[THE TWILIGHT ZONETHEME PLAYING]

NARRATOR: You're traveling
through another dimension,

a dimension not only of
sight and sound but of mind.

It is the middle ground
between light and shadow,

between science
and superstition.

And it lies between
the pit of one's fears

and the summit
of one's knowledge.

You are now traveling through
a dimension of imagination.

You've just crossed over
into The Twilight Zone.

[EVE EXHALES]

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P. A. ]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

WOMAN [OVER P. A. ]: You
will be called by number.

Oh, William.
Hi. Hey.

Do you have the kids?

No. No,
they're being held

in the juvenile wing upstairs.

They won't let me see them.

What is going on, William?

I don't know.
They showed up at my office

in the middle of a presentation.

[EXHALES]

WOMAN: See if you can
find out something.

MAN [OVER P. A. ]: Number 71.

[WHISPERING]: Did they tell you it
was a matter of national security?

Yeah.

Do we need a lawyer?

I don't know.
I, uh, I left a message

with my business attorney,
just in case.

My credit cards were declined.

Oh.

Oh, well, that...

[CHUCKLES]
that must be it.

It has to be identity theft.

Someone hacked
your credit cards,

and now these...

people think that you're a, uh...

a terrorist.

William...

I told Anna
she could use our address

so she could get her grandson
into Matheson Charter School.

Could that be the reason

why we're here?

Maybe Anna's kids
are into something

we don't know about.
Well, I-I...

I have to think this is just
a bizarre misunderstanding.

At some point,
we're gonna talk to someone

who will tell us the deal,
and we can explain ourselves,

and, um...
we're gonna go home.

Okay? And then

it'll just be a great story
for Gretchen and Stacey.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm here.

Okay?

Yeah.
Yeah?

William and Eve Martin?

Follow me.

[LOCK BUZZES]

[LOCK BUZZES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

I apologize for the wait.

Always seems to be
more work to do

than there are people to do it.

I'm sure you understand.

Where are our children?

[SIGHS]: Ah... Martin.

Well, there it is.

Mr. Martin, finance manager,

and, Mrs. Martin, you
are a stay-at-home mom.

Can you tell us
why we're being detained?

Yes. Uh,
you've been married six years,

and your daughters are
eight years old?

Do we need an attorney?

This isn't really a...
an attorney thing.

This is America.

[CHUCKLES]: Everything
is an attorney thing.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, I'm just...
I'm just curious.

Does this have anything
to do with...

[WHISPERS]: Matheson Charter School?

You tell me.

No.

- No, no, no. You brought her in here.
- Okay.

I told our housekeeper,
Anna Fuentes,

she could use our address

so her grandson could go
to Matheson Charter.

I did it. So...

whatever we need to do
to make things right,

we'll do it.

A donation to Matheson

or...

wherever...

we'll do that.

Are you suggesting
a financial inducement

to your release?

Uh...

That is a shame, because...

[CHUCKLES]
this has nothing to do

with Mrs. Fuentes at all.

Well, what does it have
to do with?

We have a right
to know why we're here.

[LOCK BUZZES]
That's best not to discuss

in front of the children.

Mom! Hey!

WILLIAM: Hey,
come on, come on.

[WHISPERS]: Okay?

I owe you an apology.

That is the problem
with government these days.

Inefficiency.
The inefficiency is astounding.

There really was no reason to
drag all of you down here today.

[CHUCKLES]: Forget it.
I'm just saying, forget it.

No harm, no foul.
We'll just show ourselves out the door.

Just how-how exactly
do we get out of here?

No, no, no, no, I'm sorry,
you misunderstand.

William,

you, Jackie and Isabelle

will be released momentarily.

Eve will remain with us

a bit longer

for further evaluation.
What?!

Mom? Daddy?

I don't understand. I...
I'm gonna get a lawyer

and get you out right away, okay?

Mom, what's happening?
It's okay, girls.

Eve...

it's in your best interests
not to resist.

Ow.

That's...

Sign here.

WOMAN: I'll take your right thumb.

MAN: Next.

WOMAN: Face forward.

Yes... you did.

You knew.

Good.

So, Eve,
let's dig a little deeper.

Five years ago, this dimension
in which you and I exist

was infiltrated by one
of our neighboring dimensions.

[ALARM BLARES]
During that initial exchange,

we learned
that this was not, indeed,

the first time
contact had been made

between these two dimensions.

That 30 years ago,
a caravan from that dimension

had crossed over into ours.

These pilgrims risked everything

in the hopes of finding
a better dimension.

A better future.

A dimension where

the sky was blue.

Now...

we learned
that this other dimension

was a lesser dimension.

That these pilgrims

were diluting
the natural evolution

of our lives as we know it.

And what if I told you
that the apparatus

you find yourself in can be used

to record a pilgrim's
biometric response to a range

of stimuli from that
neighboring dimension?

That it is
the only truly accurate way

to determining
a suspected pilgrim's

true point of origin?

What would you say?

I would say you don't
really care what my answer is.

video games with your children.
