00:30Bullshit, it is this freaking wide and it's periodic. Bullshit. Show me.
01:00Something terrestrial. Gotta be. Bouncing off the moon. Gee, never thought to check that. Look at that slope, man. You could ski down that thing. It is drifting. Look here. Zoom in. Zoom in. See that variation? And look, this gap here, this is where it stops and starts over. It repeats every 78 seconds. The whole entire thing.
01:27Three hours straight and no end in sight. It can't be.
01:35It's got to be something bouncing off the... off the... It's not bouncing off the moon, Dave.
01:52Well, maybe it's those Chatty Cathy's at the Forest Service. I hate those guys always on their radios talking about trees.
01:58Dave, it's not Smokey Bear we're picking up. Look at that signal. It's drifting.
02:03What is it then?
02:04Looks like simple pulse width modulation. Old school, like Morse code.
02:15Maybe somehow it's the time signal out of Fort Collins. They use pulse width modulation.
02:20It's not the atomic clock. The atomic clock changes every minute because it's a clock.
02:24This is the same exact data repeated every 78 seconds. Plus, this is coming from 600 light years away.
02:33This Morse code of yours seems to be split four ways.
02:40The pulses are of equal duration, but they're positioned across four different frequencies.
02:44Looks like a player piano.
02:46So not binary, but base four. Quaternary.
02:49Whoa. This won't be easy to crack.
03:03What do you think it says? Maybe just, hello?
03:07Hey, we're out here. What'd we put on Voyagers 1 and 2? Chuck Berry?
03:12Maybe this is just their version of Johnny B. Goode.
03:16Imagine the power it took to send it. Megawatts? Gigawatts? And that's if it's pointed only at us.
03:25Antenna the size of Africa. Bigger.
03:30You go to all that trouble to send a message. It's gotta be more than just hello.
03:36And why make it hard to understand? Quaternary? It's like encryption. Why would you bother to...
03:46It's not quaternary.
03:57I think I know what it is.
04:07But the twin moons hung low and full.
04:20The twin moons hung low and full, two wine-green eyes peering over the horizon as if to steal a
04:38glimpse into Acacia's soul. She paced the blood-soaked decks of the Mercator looking for
04:43something, anything that might take her mind off Rabanne. Ascending the fo'c'sle, her gaze lingered
04:49over a bare-chested young sailor. On hands and knees, he scrubbed, his sinewy forearms stretched
04:54taut as he washed away all trace of the day's fight. With a languid nod, Lucasia bade him follow
05:02to her cabin. Little did this callow deckhand know that serving at his captain's pleasure might take
05:08on such sweet meaning. Or, regrettably, that it would last but a single night.
05:14Later, at four bells, Lucasia stood by the mizzenmast. Once again, she was alone. She pulled her topcoat
05:26tighter, fingering its coarse wool as her thoughts flashed back to Rabanne. It had been he who first
05:32wrapped the coat around her, whispering in her ear, may this keep you warm in my absence,
05:38my shy. With that, Rabanne, proud, haughty Rabanne, mounted the plank and leaped from sight.
05:48The amaranth and slipstand closed over him, leaving nary a ripple.
05:52Attention, lovers of speculative historical romance literature, best-selling author Carol
06:09Sterka will now sign her new novel, Blood Song of Wiccaro, the fourth book in her Winds of Wiccaro
06:15Wiccaro. Please, the Winds of Wiccaro. And God's song is the best yet. God, are you in for a treat?
06:24Let's go sing.
06:28Rabanne is alive, right?
06:31Maureen.
06:32You can read it.
06:33Why, well, tonight, I've already unplugged the phone.
06:36Just, no, Rabanne's not on the cover.
06:39No, he's not.
06:40Yeah, he's never not been on the cover, Carol. If Rabanne doesn't come back, I'm done.
06:50Page 218.
06:55Okay.
06:56Bye.
06:57Thanks, Maureen.
06:58Hi.
06:59Hi, Olga.
07:01Lately, I can't take your idea as you can see.
07:04Hi, Ben.
07:08Love it.
07:11Happy reading.
07:12This is Nikki with her pillow.
07:14Nikki with her...
07:15Oh, my gosh.
07:15It's myself.
07:16You made this?
07:17Yes.
07:18This is Pristine.
07:19This is Paulina and support person.
07:21This is Carlotta.
07:22Say Rabanne.
07:23Rabanne.
07:25When Rabanne and Ergermal fell in the cargo hold, do you remember what it was loaded with?
07:29An adobe and spice fruit.
07:30Which Lucasia is...
07:33Deathly allergic to.
07:35Oh, you guys want a picture of my Christmas?
07:37Yes.
07:37Thank you so much.
07:42Hi, Tanya.
07:43Are you excited?
07:44Hi, Eva.
07:45I got two books.
07:46One for the tub.
07:47This is authentic.
07:48Let's just like Le Bon's.
07:50Okay.
07:50It's really sharp.
07:51Okay, so three things.
07:53A, when finally are they going to make a white car a movie?
07:56Please tell me it'll be an actual theater's not on the Lifetime Network.
07:59B, you've got to get ILM to do this lip stand.
08:01Otherwise, it's just going to look like mail.
08:03Pardon my French.
08:04And C, a small but very crucial point.
08:07As a two-masted scooter, the Mercator would not possess a mizzenmast.
08:11So...
08:12Craig, I'm going to need you to put this back in the bag before the store manager sees it.
08:16Oh.
08:17Right?
08:18Your humble servant.
08:20Oh, that's the one.
08:22Oh, love you.
08:23Thank you so much.
08:24We'll see you in the next room.
08:27All right.
08:28All right.
08:32Hi, ladies.
08:33I have us going to the Hyatt Regency of Dallas.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Thanks.
08:37Perfect.
08:38That was quite a send-off.
08:40I'm sorry.
08:41Should I know who you are?
08:43Uh, depends.
08:44You a big fan of mindless crap?
08:46Ha, ha.
08:54Good morning, Doc.
09:14Oh, it certainly is.
09:16Hey, Mel.
09:19Oh, where'd those come from?
09:21Here's Julie.
09:22Help yourself.
09:23I think they're mostly glazed, but one box ought to be sprinkled, powdered, and all that.
09:27What did we do to deserve this?
09:29Uh, my 14-year-old son from Arch and Bam.
09:33Oh, aren't you a good dad?
09:35What does she play?
09:36Trombone.
09:38Dr. D!
09:39Good evening, morning, whatever.
09:42Look what Mel brought.
09:43Ooh, for us?
09:44Yeah, please.
09:46They got you two working late.
09:47Yeah, I gotta guess a bunch of rats.
09:50So how goes the big project?
09:53What have you heard?
09:54I don't know.
09:56Thanks.
09:58Well...
09:58Our team's fairly certain we've got a sequence that includes for a lysogenic virus, but after
10:02eight whole months of animal testing...
10:04Macaques, rabbits, mice...
10:05Guinea pigs.
10:06Guinea pigs.
10:07Now rats.
10:08No clinical signs whatsoever.
10:12Put another way, we got bupkis.
10:16We got bupkis.
10:17Okay, how do you want to do this?
10:34Uh, I can put him to sleep if you want to do the cardiac sticks.
10:39I hate the cardiac sticks.
10:41You're more than welcome to gas him.
10:43I hate gassing.
10:45Might be in the wrong career.
10:46All right.
10:47Cardiac sticks it is.
10:50Let's get it over with.
10:53Uh-oh.
10:55Check it out.
10:58Yeah.
10:59What do you figure happened there?
11:07I don't know.
11:07He's looking pretty dead to me.
11:31You got a heartbeat?
11:34Can't feel jack shit in these gloves.
11:44Huh.
11:45Huh.
11:46What?
11:47He's absolutely got a heartbeat.
11:49Strong one.
11:50Just bam, bam, bam.
11:51It's weird.
11:52If I didn't know any better, I'd...
11:53Ow!
11:53God!
11:54Oh, shit!
11:54Oh, no.
11:55You've got to be kidding me.
11:59Did he break the skin?
12:00Um, yeah, I don't...
12:01Yeah, it's through the glove.
12:02Oh, shit.
12:03Uh, soak it quick.
12:05If it's a murk.
12:06If it's bleeding, make sure to squeeze it out good.
12:08I'm going to call this in as soon as I catch him, okay?
12:11Okay.
12:33It's Mark 336.
12:35And, uh...
12:38Jen?
12:39Jen?
12:41You're going to be all right, you hear me?
13:11Come on, come on, come on, come on, talk to me, come on, Jen, come on.
13:13Jen?
13:14You all right?
13:17Jen?
13:18Just say something.
13:20Jen, I got you.
13:21I got you.
13:23Jen?
13:26Hey, hey, hey, hey, Jen, can you hear me?
13:29Jen, just say something.
13:30Damn it.
13:41Damn it.
13:41Damn it.
13:42Kidding me.
13:43Can you believe this thing?
14:13You've got skinny arms, you think you could maybe...
14:19Hey.
14:43Yes?
15:00Yes?
15:02Yes?
15:06Yes?
15:12Yes?
17:16Let me get some gum.
18:10Whoa, seriously?
18:21I had one Tito's in Salt Lake.
18:24That was like two hours ago.
18:25Right Manhattan and a Diabepsy.
18:52Thanks.
18:56We could take a cab home.
18:59Don't tell me you don't need a drink, because you need a drink.
19:01I don't need a drink.
19:02You need a drink.
19:03I don't need a drink.
19:04I call bullshit on that.
19:05I need sleep.
19:07I need sleep.
19:07That's what I need.
19:08Hey, cheers to the best tour yet.
19:12You leave me hanging here?
19:13I do not clean buses with fucking Diet Pepsi.
19:16Best book tour.
19:17What is that?
19:18Is that like best stomach cancer?
19:20You endure it.
19:21You do not toast it.
19:22Oh, how I hate all those paying customers showering me with love and respect.
19:26And why do I have to make so much money?
19:27Where?
19:29How do you bear it?
19:30Bunch of dummies.
19:40Wow.
19:41It's a ship that sails on sand?
19:44Purple sand?
19:45That is, uh, that's brilliant.
19:47The world needed that.
19:49And the world needed yet another female character who spends all her time mooning over some fucking
19:54proud and haughty pirate.
19:55He's a Corsair, not a pirate.
19:57Mm.
19:59Nandovian Spice Fruit.
20:02Jesus, that, it's like a bad episode of Star Trek.
20:05All right, so how about you throw everybody a change up?
20:07Hmm?
20:07Greensand?
20:08Is that a purple?
20:10Maybe it's time for your serious foot.
20:13Why not?
20:14You've been plugging away on it for five years.
20:17Four and a half, barely.
20:18Pardon me.
20:19So put it out already.
20:20I can't just, it, it needs polishing.
20:24Obviously, I mean, it does, right?
20:26Okay, take the next few months and polish.
20:29I'll work it out.
20:30I'll buy you some more time before your next Vicaro.
20:34You really think bitter chrysalis is that good?
20:38I think people will love it.
20:45You ever read, um, Finnegan's White?
20:48No.
20:49I tried, too.
20:51In grad school.
20:54It's probably great.
20:56I don't know.
20:58All I know is it made me miserable trying to get through it.
21:03I figure, you make even one person happy.
21:08Maybe that's not art.
21:11It's something.
21:12To Ravon.
21:21Proud, haughty Ravon.
21:30Did you bring your cigarettes?
21:32Since when do you smoke?
21:34Since now?
21:35Are you trying to start a forest fire?
21:57Stop wasting my butane.
22:00Stop telling me how to smoke.
22:01I used to smoke in middle school.
22:03You know, you're supposed to light the other person's cigarette first, but that's etiquette.
22:06Yeah?
22:06On a plane, do you put your own oxygen mask on first?
22:12Ooh.
22:13You're going to hear it.
22:14Houston Mom, 78, says about Blood Song.
22:17Best Vicaro ever.
22:18All caps.
22:19And, uh...
22:2116 to 17.
22:23No.
22:23Exclamation points.
22:24Wow.
22:24Is that a new record?
22:25It's got to be.
22:26Spoiler alert.
22:27Ravon is back.
22:28And yummier that ever.
22:29Yummier than ever.
22:30Think she means?
22:31Mm-mm.
22:32You better belief he's got my permission to come aboard.
22:35I'd walk his plank any time.
22:37I'm sensing an auto-motif.
22:38A little bit.
22:39Think Houston Mom's off her meds again?
22:40I think Houston Mom would spread her legs for a grilled cheese sandwich.
22:45Oh.
22:48Look at that.
22:50What?
22:52What do you think they're doing?
22:54What's what doing?
22:55Oh, the planes.
22:56Look.
22:59I don't know.
23:01Was that weird?
23:02Yeah, it's weird.
23:03Isn't it?
23:03All of them kind of parallel like that?
23:06Huh.
23:18Anybody else weigh in?
23:20That's all the usual suspects.
23:21Plus, a few new ones.
23:23Everybody loves it.
23:25Do you want to answer a few questions for them?
23:38What, now?
23:38No, no, no.
23:39Do a quick one.
23:40Let them know you're paying attention.
23:41Carol, my husband says Rabban can be my hall pass, which I don't think is fair since Rabban's
23:47not a real live person, although I wish he was.
23:49In real life, was there an actual man you were thinking of when you came up with Rabban?
23:55Well, that's hilarious.
23:56You want to tell the truth?
24:03Or do you have to lose?
24:07Put down George Clooney.
24:08What?
24:09Nothing.
24:10What's wrong with him?
24:10Nothing.
24:11Just, I mean, how about a hot Brazilian soccer player, someone with dreadlocks?
24:14Hip it up.
24:16Just put George Clooney.
24:20It's safe.
24:27Shit!
24:27Buddy, you, you okay, buddy?
24:49Helen, should we call someone?
25:12Helen!
25:13Helen, stop looking at the goddamn car!
25:15Oh, my God, Helen!
25:33Helen!
25:34Helen!
25:39Help!
25:41Somebody help us!
25:43Help!
25:43Just hang in there.
25:45Hang in, hang in there.
25:47Just hang in there.
25:55Oh, my, my, my...
25:57Oh, my, my, my...
25:57I don't know.
26:27No, no, no, no.
26:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
27:27No, no, no, no, no, no.
27:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
28:27Okay, you better get out.
28:33Come on, get out.
28:34Get out!
28:39Get out!
28:40Fuck!
28:43Fuck it!

35:54Hey.
35:55Hey.
35:56Don't touch her.
35:57You put her down.
35:59Put her down.
36:01Put her down.
36:02Get out.
36:03Go away.
36:04Go away.
36:05What?
36:06What the hell is wrong with you people?
36:07We just want to help Harold.
36:08We just want to help Harold.
36:09We just want to help Harold.
36:10What the hell is wrong with you people?
36:11We just want to help Harold.
36:20We just want to help Harold.
36:21We just want to help Harold.
36:22We just want to help Harold.

39:42Come on.
39:44Come on.
39:48Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, please.
40:11There's a spare key.
40:14We can show you.
40:16No, no, stop, don't, don't, don't, don't come any closer.
40:19We don't mean to scare you, Carol.
40:21You're in no danger.
40:23We really do want to help.
40:25Remember, April 2016, the last time you got locked out?
40:29You put a spare key under the flower pot.
40:32The one on the right.
40:34Back there.
40:42There you go.
40:46Leave me alone.
40:51Please.
40:52Sure, Carol.
40:53Just give us a couple of minutes to clear out.
40:55All right.
41:17We're very sorry for your loss.
41:47We're very sorry for your loss.
42:17We're very sorry for your loss.
42:47We're very sorry for your loss.
43:17We're very sorry for your loss.
43:47We're very sorry for your loss.
44:17We're very sorry for your loss.
44:47We're very sorry for your loss.
45:17We're very sorry for your loss.
45:49We're very sorry for your loss.
45:51We're very sorry for your loss.
45:53We're very sorry for your loss.
45:55We're very sorry for your loss.
45:57We're very sorry for your loss.
45:59You're very sorry for your loss.
46:01Okay.
46:02Your life is your loss.
46:04Please know that.
46:06Your well-being is of utmost importance to us.
46:08Okay.
46:10It's completely up to you.
46:12We're very sorry for your loss.
46:14We're very sorry for your loss.
46:15We're very sorry for your loss.
46:16We're very sorry for your loss.
46:17It may be very sorry for your loss.
46:19But we're very sorry for your loss.
46:21But we're very sorry for your loss.
46:22We're very sorry for your loss.
46:23But we will put things right.
46:24To that end, if we may be of assistance with Helen's remains...
46:25Nope.
46:26Okay?
46:27If we can help you in any way, please let us know.
46:29We can deliver food, medicine, whatever you need.
46:34Just dial zero, day or night.
46:36You will want to call from a landline as all the cellular networks are down.
46:40But we are here for you.
46:45We feel like we're doing all the talking here.
46:49Are there any questions you might have for us, Carol?
46:52Anything at all?
46:56Uh...
46:58Yeah.
46:59Yeah, sure.
47:01I guess to start with, what the fuck is happening?
47:07Well, basically...
47:08It's an alien invasion, right?
47:10I mean, obviously, it's an alien invasion.
47:12Actually, no.
47:13It is not.
47:14What the fuck it isn't?
47:15You know my name.
47:16You know Helen's name.
47:19You are talking to me from my TV.
47:22And what the fuck is with everybody's...
47:25and shit like this and those two weird...
47:28The weird, the weird neighbor kids next door.
47:30They know we're some goddamn...
47:32How...
47:33How would they know that, huh?
47:36Are you reading my mind?
47:37No.
47:38Absolutely not.
47:39We couldn't do that if we wanted to.
47:41Who is we?
47:42Why is everybody suddenly we?
47:43You know we could continue this after you've had a good night's sleep.
47:46Who is we?
47:48We is us.
47:49Just us.
47:50Who the fuck is us?
47:51Us.
47:52There are no aliens.
47:54None on this planet.
47:56We are, however, beneficiaries of extraterrestrial technology.
48:00Fourteen months ago, astronomers discovered a radio signal from 600 light years away.
48:06There's no telling how long it's been repeating, maybe throughout all of human existence.
48:11This signal, it's made up of four tones, representing guanine, uracil, adenine, and cytosine.
48:19It's a recipe, it turns out, for a nucleotide sequence, RNA.
48:25Scientists have created this sequence in a lab.
48:28It is not a living thing, per se.
48:30It is more akin to a virus.
48:33Though it's not that, exactly, either.
48:35It's kind of a psychic glue, capable of binding us all together.
48:40Okay.
48:43So if you're not aliens...
48:46Who am I talking to right now?
48:48Who are you?
48:49This particular individual, this is Davis Taffler,
48:53Undersecretary of Agriculture for Farm Production and Conservation.
48:58But you are currently talking to every person on Earth, including Davis Taffler.
49:04We're all one.
49:05How does that work?
49:07We don't know exactly.
49:09It just does.
49:11Can I talk to the President?
49:13That individual passed away this evening, unfortunately,
49:16along with quite a few senior members of the United States government.
49:20Davis Taffler happened to be nearby and intact, and he was wearing a suit.
49:26So...
49:27So...
49:28So you're in charge now?
49:29The Undersecretary of...
49:31No.
49:32Nobody's in charge, or everybody's in charge.
49:34Really, there's no such thing anymore.
49:36But...
49:37There has got to be others like me.
49:39Your situation is a rare one.
49:41There appear to be 11 other individuals like yourself.
49:44In Albuquerque?
49:45No.
49:46In the world.
49:48We have reached out to them.
49:50Like you, they are disoriented.
49:52Understandably.
49:55Rest assured, Carol.
49:56We will figure out what makes you different.
49:59Figure it out? Why?
50:01So we can fix it.
50:03So you can join us.
50:05Carol?
50:06You still there?
50:07You...
50:08You said my life was my own.
50:09It is.
50:10One hundred percent.
50:11So what happens when I say no?
50:12Carol?
50:13Once you understand how wonderful this is...
