Touch.

Okay. Um...

Well... [sighs]

There was a delivery driver who

was working a double shift,

smashed up his truck.

Said something otherworldly

ran out in front of him

instead of what it really was:

- road kill.

- But what if he was telling the truth?

What if he really did

see something weird?

And yet another reason why

we unplug in this house.

Too much noise out there,

makes an imagination

like yours run wild.

I should have stuck with

my one word response.

Goodnight, sweet pea.

Love you.

Goodnight. Love you.

[clattering]

[school bell rings]

Piper:
I didn't get

any sleep last night.

Well, stop trying to change the world,

and you might get some rest.

I got my solid nine in.

No time for sleep.

I'm gonna do whatever it takes

to prove that we saw...

An alien.

Hello, team. What's first

on today's agenda?

Reminding you that

you're not on the team.

I see how I need to play this.

If we're all wearing these,

we won't miss a beat.

[beeping]

All information is constantly

being uploaded to the cloud.

If one of us gets abducted...

most likely Piper...

then Curtis and I can tap in to

find your location and save you.

Maybe.

Zoom.

Thermal imaging.

Enhanced audio.

Girl:
Did you study for

the geometry quiz?

Boy:
Yep.

If you make me your partner,

I've got access to

a lot more than glasses.

These specs are pretty sweet.

Maybe we give him a shot.

Here's how it's gonna work, Ira.

We'll definitely consider you,

but we need to see how

you perform in the field.

Basically, probation.

I prefer the term internship.

Probation. And I'm the boss.

You good with this?

Let's go change the world.

[no audible dialog]

[snoring]

Piper:
I told you he'd be here.

I know exactly how we get that evidence.

Here's the plan:

Piper, you stand back

and let us handle this.

I call this the cowboy switch.

We're gonna need some fishing

line, three ice trays

two crates of lug nuts, and Curtis,

how well can you ride a horse?

Plan B works, too.

[snorting] Mm, banana gram.

All right, so we got a hair tie,

a plastic spork,

Gummy Bears, and...

this.

What is that?

Time for a little CS-Ira.

Ira:
What you're about to see

is going to change your lives forever.

Curtis:
A garage.

Filled with junk.

This isn't junk.

Everything Dubek Avionics

has ever failed at ends up here.

My dad takes it home.

And I fix it.

This is a Cloud Burst forerunner.

AKA:
A rainmaker.

Magneto funk.

Can make a cell phone

go haywire from 1,000 feet.

Curtis:
[chuckles] What's that,

an electronic alien trap?

It's a bug zapper.

Oh.

So, how is this stuff gonna help us?

Subtronic DNA sequencer.

Can read the molecular

structure of anything.
