The Beehive

[dog barking in the distance]

[man on radio]

And now we have a visit

from our weekly meteorologist,

Aliyah Gray.

[Aliyah]

Hi! Good morning, Daryl.

[Daryl] Good morning, Aliyah.

Um, now, for everyone

who's listening out there,

Aliyah came into our studio

this morning

with a gigantic grin

on her face.

[Aliyah] Oh, yes. Yes, I did,

and I feel like

the space buffs out there

got the same surge

of enthusiasm...

[Daryl] I bet. [chuckling]

[Aliyah] ...and

as little sleep as I did,

because, get this, last night,

two what looked like meteors...

[Daryl] Come on!

[Aliyah] ...penetrated

the Earth's atmosphere.

[Daryl] Wow!

Some people are calling them

comets, meteors, uh...

You know, I've heard

other theories,

like this is intelligent life?

[Aliyah] Yeah.

[Daryl] Or advanced

government technology.

[Aliyah] Oh, well, there is

a deep rabbit hole

on this subject, Daryl,

let me tell ya.

[Daryl] Oh, I bet,

and you know what?

I love a good rabbit hole,

so what's puzzling scientists?

[Aliyah] Okay, honestly,

the science...

Aw, sorry, little bee.

Rosemary Piers

reporting to you live

from the most recent

insect collision.

B the Honeybee, aka Mr. B,

crashed into Lisa the Ladybug

in the early hours

of this morning.

[sighing]

A terrible tragedy,

but an unavoidable tragedy.

Holy smokes!

B the Beehive!

Behold, ladies and gentlemen!

B, B, B, B, B, the Beehive!

Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.

Whoa! Look at you!

[tap dripping]

[sighing]

[sighing]

[running footsteps]

[Rosemary] Dad! Hurry!

There's a beehive growing

on the side of the house!

Yeah?

It's so big! So cool!

You've gotta come see, Dad!

A beehive?

Dad, you have to come see this!

[sighing]

Baby?

Honey, that's not a beehive.

That's a... That's a wasp nest.

It's B the Beehive, Dad!

I already gave it

a name on camera,

so I can't confuse

my audience now.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Where are you going?

I have to do my daily report.

Breakfast soon, Rosie.

Yup!

Your shirt's on inside-out.

Great.



Whoa!

Look at all the bees!

I'm gonna name... you

Bailey the Bee.

Rosemary Piers

reporting to you live

from the scene

of Bailey the Bee.

Frogs were loud last night,

but so quiet this morning.

You see little Rosie

out there this morning?

Oh yeah? Where?

Playing by the barn,

doing her little reporter thing.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Harley the Hawk,

ladies and gentlemen!

Wow!

Aren't you pretty?

Hi there!

What's your name?

I'm gonna call you

Sammy the Slug.

Rosemary Piers

reporting to you live

from our most recent

slug sighting.

Behold Sammy the Slug,

ladies and gentlemen!

Holy moly! Twice in a day?

We're live!

The scene of B, the new beehive!

This one's predicted

to grow three times bigger,

or maybe five times bigger!

The size of a hot air balloon!

Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.

B, B, B, B, B, the Beehive!

[man on radio]

A new climate report

by the Center for the Study

of the Climate

detailed that we have passed

the new point of no return

when it comes to

the human effects

on the globe's temperatures.

The report now calls

for the formation

of an advanced

scientific crisis...

Trespassers...

[radio]

In other news, two comets

penetrated the Earth's

atmosphere late last night...

[slamming door] Dad!

You're not gonna believe this.

I have so much to report!

Morning.

Good morning.

What are you feeling

for breakfast, kiddo?

Sweet or salty?

sweet?

Is that a... question?

- PB and J?

- PB and J.

Dad, I have all

this stuff to show you.

I saw another B the Beehive

in the forest!

Ah, you're gonna have

to show me after, okay?

Dad, there's trespassers...

Aah!

You go wake your brother up.

Tell him breakfast is ready,

please?

You got it.

Die, Z.O.B.!

No!

[game ending]

[alert beeping]

Dude, you there?

What time tonight

are we all coming over?

Um, I don't know...

uh, 10:00?

10:00? Okay, cool.

I think Sam's

gonna give me a ride.

Cass and D coming?

- Uh, yeah.

- [knocking on door]

What is it?

[knocking]

[Rosemary] Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Oh, man. Just a sec.

Breakfast.

That's it?

Ooh, you were up all night

playing games.

Yeah. So what?

Dad's gonna be angry.

Who cares?

Rosie!

Don't tell him?

There's two beehives

on the property...

- Cool.

- Arron?

If I had a dollar

for every one of you out there

who's been getting in touch

asking me,

"Hey, Rylan, are these aliens,

extraterrestrials?

Or something else,

whatever you want to call them,

"or is this the work

of the government?"

I am not about

to sit here and...

Dad, I wanna show you something.

What time's

your Aunt Zoe coming?

Noon.

I thought it was later.

Dad, watch!

This is the other nest I saw

growing in the big-leaf

maple tree!

[music playing in earbuds]

Good morning.

Arron.

Arron!

What?

Up again

playing games all night?

No... not all night.

I couldn't sleep,

so I woke up really early.

Right, and what?

You're gonna sleep

through the day now?

Sleep through another

beautiful sunny day

and party with your friends

later, is that right?

It's summer.

For one more week.

Remember last summer?

Your mom had you

in that AP Chem lab.

Yeah. She did.

And what?

[phone ringing]

Hello? Piers residence.

Rosemary speaking.

Oh, hey, Rosie. It's Dave here.

Is your dad around?

Yup.

Dad, it's Dave.

Hello?

Hey, Frank. It's Dave here.

Hey, amigo.

Calling about tonight?

Can you come out to

the back of the property here?

The back forest part

where the property ends?

Something you gotta

see here, man.

Jesus.

Looks like an invasion.

That's my property.

I know, amigo.

What's it say there?

"City zoning," Frank.

[scoffing]

That's bullshit.

They can't do this.

What do you wanna do?

Build a fence.

Yeah. Build a fence.

Let's get rid of this sh*t.

[Frank] You can't do this!

Do you hear the words

coming out of my mouth?

I was never consulted!

Mr. Piers...

They're my trees.

It's my property.

You can't just blindside

a citizen like this.

Mr. Piers,

what I'm saying is that...

[radio] Eric, are you there?

Rosie, go play outside.

[radio] So, Eric,

what were you saying?

[Frank] I was never consulted!

and then three more times

after that,

another on December the 14th,

another three months...

[radio] I was just out

walking my dog...

[Frank] That's not accurate.

You're saying inaccurate...

[radio] ...and I saw the lights.

[Frank] Listen, I wanna

talk to your supervisor!

[radio] After I saw them-

Rosie! Go play outside.

Now!

[phone] I'm going

to analyze your file.

- [Frank] Your supervisor.

- [phone] Mr. Piers...

[radio] This horrible feeling

came over my body.

[phone]

dig deeper into your file.

Yes, I'll hold.

[hold music plays]



- Aunt Zoe!

- Little Bear!

Always growing!

Oh yeah, you've grown too!

What's that supposed to mean?

You reporting on the farm?

I have so much to show you,

Aunt Z.

I can't wait.

There's two bees' nests growing.

There's been trespassing too,

and I filmed nine geese flying!

And that all

happened this morning?

Yeah.

Hey, Aunt Z. How's it going?

Arron, look at you!

Look at you.

You look just like

your Grandpa Malcolm.

Yeah?

Hey there, Zoe.

Hey, Frank.

So, you all packed

and ready to go, Rosie?

I was packed yesterday.

So, how is everybody?

The farm?

The family?

Yeah.

Fine. We're doing fine.

Same usual headaches,

different day, huh?

How's the year

been treating you?

It's...

It's been a challenge,

but...

just trying

to keep busy with work.

The government

marine science stuff?

Marine biology.

I just got back from a study

off the coast of Haida Gwaii.

[Arron] Hey, Aunt Z.

Did you see the comets

last night?

I did. What a treat!

Do you think it's aliens?

Let's not go that fast.

[Arron] Cool, yeah.

[Rosemary] I'm ready!

So, we'll see you

tomorrow morning?

Say around 10:00 a.m.?

Sure. Sounds good.

[truck door opening]

And if I don't see you,

have a great get-together

tonight, okay?

- Thanks.

- Okay.

You behave

with your auntie, okay?

Mm-hmm.

[kissing]

- Love you.

- Love you, too.

I'm so excited!

[engine starting]



She reminds me

too much of your mom.

You say it

like it's a bad thing.

No.

It's just that...

- [door opening]

[door closing]



[Zoe] Are you excited

to go camping?

- Really excited!

- Me too.

[TV] ...one of their best

assets in this tournament

is goalie Jacob Macuda.

Eight goals in a six-game

winning streak.

Some fans reportedly

paid 15 grand

for tickets to tonight's game.

[commentator] These people

are hungry for some payback

after what happened

two nights ago

when he sucker-punched him.

Oh! Look at that!

I can bet you Paris

is gonna get a penalty

for that slip

right here in the first minutes

of the first period.

That's gotta hurt for him.

[commentator] No doubt.

What an embarrassment

for Dan Shaveck.

This coach has put everything

into this team, and...

[TV] How are you gonna make up

for this now, Count Dyer?

Mm. Fish and chips tonight,

lobster tomorrow...

Are we lucky or what?

What lobster?

My brother, Jeff, and his wife

are flying in from Halifax

for the barbecue tomorrow,

and they are bringing

a big crate

of fresh Nova Scotia lobsters.

[chuckling]

What a treat!

Frank, what do you make

of this, uh, comet news?

A lot of people saying

a lot of different things.

Who can keep track

of the news now?

You know,

you got climate change,

tornado here, flood there,

oil spill...

Huh, no kidding.

How do you think it affects us,

all this bad news?

Day in, day out.

Remember when there was a paper?

Well, we still get the paper,

but I know what you mean.

I mean, Davie and I just try

and tune it all out,

don't we, Davie?

What's that?

How's your beer, Frank?

Almost done.

What are the kids doing tonight?

Whatever 17-year-olds do.

[music playing]

[laughter]

[Sam] Sorry, bro, you gotta

get a girlfriend.

[Lucas]

I'll just go f*ck myself.

[laughter]

[Sam] God, we should just

be partying, my man!

[Arron] Watch it.

[music playing]

- That's it?

- What?

Man, I thought it was

gonna be cooler than that.

Dude, it's weird.

Nobody knows what it is.

It's comets.

That's just what

they're calling it.

Hey, Arron, you're

being super fun right now.

I'm loving

the conspiracy theories,

but why don't you put them

to bed for tonight

and maybe make a move on Cass?

[Cass]

The air's so fresh out here.

You can see the stars so clear.

[Diana] Yeah, totally.

- Ladies! Hey!

- Hey! What's up?

Can I interest you in a drink?

We have an assortment

of c*ck.

Not if you mixed them.

h*!

[laughter]

Arron, this is your place?

Uh, yeah, it's, uh, my family's.

It's incredible out here.

Yeah.

I mean, um... yeah.

[laughter]

Our grad year starts

in a week, my friends.

I think that's cause

for celebratory drinks.

Who's with me?

Hear, hear!

I'm DD.

All right.

[pouring]

- Pusher man!

- Thank you...?

- Enjoy your cup.

- Sam, you jerk!

Oh!

Grad '25!

[all] Grad '25!

Let's go!

Yeah, that's good.

[frogs croaking]

[Rosemary] Do you see those

three stars up there?

[Zoe] Oh, yeah.

That's a constellation.

It's called Orion's Belt.

Hey, do you remember the time

we came up here,

like, two years ago?

Yeah. We pitched tents up here.

Yeah, with Mom and Arron.

Yeah.

Mom drew those sketches of you,

and we roasted marshmallows.

[chuckling]

Do you remember

when Arron's marshmallow

caught on fire?

He flicked it into the woods!

And we had to chase after it

and look for it

so he could put it out.

[laughing]

Do you think about her?

Your mom?

I think about her every day.

Me too.

I can feel her.

Did you know that?

Sometimes, when I look

at Mom's paintings,

she says something in my ear.

What does she say?

"Little Bear."

"Stand tall, Little Bear."

Auntie, look!

Did you see that? What was it?

Let's... oh, god.

My phone's dead.

- We gotta go. Now.

- Why?

I'll tell ya later.

We have to go, okay?

Pack your stuff.

Come on, Rosie.

Help me pack up.

[radio] You're listening to all

of your vintage classics

on 106.3 KISG.

[youth laughing outside]

[music playing]

Do you always come out here?

Oh, yeah. All the time.

By yourself,

or with your family?

By myself.

Yeah, it's probably nice

to just sit in your thoughts,

look at the stars...

Hell, yeah.

[Cass] I mean, the stars

are amazing out here.

Yeah, it's...

incredible.

If I lived here,

I would be out here every night.

Yeah?

Oh, my god, look!

Did you see that?

Yeah, that was...

[Lucas] What was that?

You guys see that?

Did you guys make a wish?

[laughing]

What did I miss?

Hey, Sam.

[Diana moaning]

Oh, yeah. Diana drank too much.

I drank way too much.

I need to go home.

Okay.

Can we go right now?

Okay. Gotta go.

Yeah. Yeah.

- See you guys.

- See ya.

[both] Did you do it?

- Please say you did it.

- Tell me you did it.

Dude, I can't listen

to another...

Oh...

Do you think he's mad at me?

[Arron]

Hey! Hey, Cass, wait up!

Night of the Living Dead

is the best George Romero

movie, by the way.

- No, it's not. Dawn of the Dead.

- No, buddy.

- You have no argument.

- Dude. Dude.

My neighbour is having

this big barbecue tomorrow.

Maybe you guys

could all come out again.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

Um, maybe we'll see how D's

feeling in the morning.

[Diana] I wanna go home.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Diana] Cass, let's go.

Have a good night.

[Arron] You too.

[car engine starting]

Come on, Rosie.

Keep going. Let's go!

Come on.

Are we lost?

What was that?

Come, Rosie. This way!

[TV] ...jumping for the phone,

and what I'm about to say

is going to blow you away.

I should hit the road.

I'll come and give you a hand

with that fence tomorrow, Frank.

Appreciate it.

[TV] ...a full year's supply

of Shammy Whammy

for five easy payments...

Hey, Frank?

I wanted to ask you...

I don't wanna be nosy.

I'm just...

wondering how you're doing.

How's life

with the kids, being...

You know, managing...?

Fine.

'Cause I had a thought

the other day

about how you're doing, and...

Genie was in the kitchen

talking 'bout

how it's been a year

since Evelyn...

We're fine, Dave.

'Cause if you ever...

We're fine, Dave.

[TV] I'm just imagining

all those

wet paper towels, right now,

filling up our garbage cans.

It's giving me shivers.

This is the solution!

This Shammy Whammy

is the future!

[Frank] Bullshit they sell ya.

[Dave] No kidding.

[TV] ...start and end

with Shammy Whammy!

What's going on?

[Zoe] I'm gonna find out.

[beeping]

[Rosemary] I wanna go home!

I do too.

I just have to make

this call first, okay?

[beeping]

[call ringing]

Hey, Zoe.

I can't talk right now.

We're on our way to see

the National Security Advisor.

It came in at 11:17 p.m.

The same time.

There is no doubt, Zoe...

the comets

are carrying alien life.

[Zoe] Okay, text me.

I'll call you back, okay?

[starting engine]

- Jesus!

- [screaming]

[Gene] You scared the bejesus

out of me!

- [Dave laughing]

- [Frank] I'm sorry.

[Gene] Breakfast is ready.

[Dave laughing]

[Frank sighs]

[radio] Four new comets

penetrated

the Earth's atmosphere

late last night,

events that are perplexing

the scientific community,

who remain divided

on the origins or causes.

Later in the program,

we'll be interviewing

a cosmologist

who is convinced

the conflicting data sets

are a cause to worry.

- [laughing]

- Nice.

You threw yourself

quite a party last night, Frank.

Yeah. [groaning]

[sighing]

Hey, what time

is Zoe dropping Rosie off?

- Um, 10:00.

- Nice.

Breakfast!

[truck approaching fast]

[Gene] Who's that?

Uh, that's Zoe.

She normally drive

like a bat out of hell?

Mm, no.

Sorry, Gene, do you mind?

Thanks.

I'll bring it back.

See you soon, Dave.

Yup.

I worry about that man.

He'll be fine.

We had a great talk last night.

[Zoe] Radial light, yeah.

[radio] Is it safe to say the

scientific community agrees

this is alien life...

[Zoe] Yeah, okay. Yeah.

[radio] ...that there's

some sort of conscious life

behind these so-called comets?

[Zoe] Yeah, I have it

written down.

[radio] The frustrating

part is that...

[Zoe] Okay. Okay,

I'm gonna talk to you after.

Okay. 'Kay, bye.

Got a second?

Frank, I need to talk to you.

All ears.

[radio]

On the ground, for example,

people have reported seeing...

In private.

[radio] ...lights in the forest.

We've heard now several

reports of this, and not to...

[Frank] Outside.

[radio]

by different countries

that are now reporting

similar events...

- [door closing]

- but is there a causal link?

[interviewer] Sorry to

stop you there, Dr. Gurjar,

but I just want to get an idea

of what you, um...

what you personally believe...



Run away from what?

I'm not doing it!

You're telling me stories.

The comets

can't turn into aliens!

In 24 hours,

we could be standing

on a very different planet.

I'm gonna make the opposite bet,

until proven otherwise.

You're being stubborn.

Nah!

I'm giving all the facts.

This has all the signs!

No!

Think about the kids!



Don't tell me

what to do with my kids.



Rosie! Camera off. Now!

Let's help your Aunt Zoe

get her things together.

Why?

She's got some important

scientific stuff to do.

Hey, Frank, be careful

with my things.

Come here. Come here.

[Rosemary] What's wrong?

[Frank] Nothing's wrong.

I'll come back

for you, I promise.

I just have to figure

it out myself first.

Stand tall, Little Bear.

Aunt Z...?

[Rosemary crying]

That everything,

or is there more?

Rosie, stay!

[crying] Why?

'Cause I said.

Your aunt's got

some half-baked ideas

about what's going on

up in the skies.

Comets?

The comets, yeah.

[truck door opening and closing]

[engine starting]

Come on. Let's have

some breakfast.

[radio] Hi! I'm Tony

from Lakeside car dealership.

If you know cars,

you know Tony's.

After over 30 years

in the business,

I've sold over 30,000 cars.

[beating eggs]

[radio]

New factory-direct models...

I'm the king of it all!

So give me a call this instant,

and drive home today with my

90-day problem-free guarantee.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Have you had breakfast?

No.

Well, it's the weekend,

so you know what that means.

[beating]

[radio]

Daryl, I will say one thing.

If, uh, yesterday

was any indication,

maybe a few in the science

community were talking.

Now? All eyes are on this.

I think aliens are still

the least likely scenario,

and even if it did

end up being aliens...

Least likely, Zoe.

[radio] Go on.

Survival of the fittest.

Maybe we're the most dominant

species on Earth...

[changing radio station]

- [salsa music playing]

- Hey, Arron!

Rise and shine, buddy!

[salsa music

playing in the distance]

[knocking on door]

[Frank] Rise and shine!

I got pancakes

cooking downstairs.

[opening door]

Hey, rock star, you survive

the apocalypse?

Lights!

[chuckling] Just checking!

I'll take that as a "yes."

nuclear arsenal capabilities.

So, pay attention now,

because this is no joke.

There are seven nations

in space already

that could destroy all life

on the planet as we know it.

Now, ain't it funny

how no media outlets

are reporting the potential

that this comet could be

a foreign adversary?

Co-in-ci-dence?

Well, you decide.

Should we worry, Dad?

Hey...

Hey...

Kiddo, I'm sorry

I wasn't there last night.

It must have been really scary

with all that happening.

On strange nights,

like last night,

some people, like your aunt

and others...

they get overcome by fear.

All they want to do is run,

but not your dad.

You hear me?

I will always protect you

and your brother.

You need never fear, because...?

Daddy's always here.

That's right.

Let's get some fresh air.

It's a beautiful day.



Wow!

B, you've grown!

This is Rosemary Piers,

reporting to you live

from B the Beehive,

where an extraordinary

development has happened!

B has grown!

B the Beehive,

ladies and gentlemen.

Rosemary Piers, Channel 52 News.

Good work, man.

Yeah.

[pounding]

You hear that?

Rosie, shh!

Those pricks.

Are those the bad men, Dad?

Rosie, go back to the house

and wake up your brother.

Tell him to get ready.

There might be trouble.

Is something wrong?

[Frank] We're about to find out.

Hurry up, please!

Grab a shovel.

Follow me.

[Frank] Hey!

Hey!

Who are you?

I'm the guy whose property

you're standing on.

Who are you?

Good afternoon.

I'm Wendel Tremblay,

project supervisor.

Hi, Wendel.

You must be either...

Reyes, Sebastien, or...

Piers, Frank.

I'm Frank Piers.

Great.

How can we help, Mr. Piers?

You're about to be trespassing

on my property.

You put a...

Your guys were tagging my trees.

Oh?

Well, listen...

we go by what it says

on the paper,

and according to our papers,

Mr. Piers,

you are currently trespassing

on a permitted

city logging site.

Excuse me?

I'm gonna have to kindly

ask you to stop your work.

You can leave

what you've done there.

My boys can clean it up for now.

Who the hell

do you think you are?

I was on the phone

with the city yesterday.

This is my property,

and these are...

Listen, Frank.

Save me the show.

We're a subcontractor.

If you got beef,

you take it up with the city,

but if my guys

don't have these trees

cleared out by Monday,

all of us will be

in serious trouble.

Is that clear?

Now's time you listen.

All of you can quietly

turn around,

and get the f*ck off my property

and outta my sight.

[rattling shovel]

Is that clear?

Just say the word, Boss.

Let's go.

Let's go!

[Dave] Frank...

you're gonna need a lawyer.

Yeah.

[flies buzzing]

[sniffing]

[flies buzzing]

Rise and shine, sleepyhead!

[screaming]

[bowl smashing]

[screaming]

[door slamming]

Open up, Rosie!

[laughing]

I'm gonna k*ll you!

[Frank] Arron!

Yeah?

[Frank] Get dressed.

I need ya in the back.

[laughing]

I'm gonna get you later.

- Just hold it.

- Oh...

Excellent. Yep, yep, yep.

Okay, um... got it?

Got it.

[burping]

So, how was it last night?

Um...

What about?

How was it?

Yeah...

it was good.

Up in the skies...

did you kids see the comets?

Yeah.

Uh, it was cool.

Yeah?

Hey, Dad, are you...

following all this stuff?

Of course.

And what do you make of it all?

Government technology.

Advanced satellite systems.

Arron...

it's not aliens.

Well, different people are

saying different things, Dad.

Listen, honestly, son...

you need to learn

to not believe everything

you see in the news...

and if we don't have

this fence up by sundown,

we'll have our

whole forest logged.

That's reality.

Come on.

On the wire.

[tractor chugging]

Rosie!

Let's go!

Barbecue.

There's a dead frog!

Leave it!

What if coyotes eat it?

Come on!

We can't just leave it here!

Come on!

I need a bucket!

[Frank] What do you get

when you win it?

You get the beanbag

in the hole, what happens?

You get a prize?

- [Rosemary] I mean, you win...

[Frank] What do you win?

[Rosemary] I mean, you can do it

for different stuff.

Like, you can win

candy for it, nothing...

[Frank] Candy?

'Cause you need more candy?

Yes.

[Frank chuckles]

See the balloons!

[music playing]

[Frank] You like lobster?

[Rosemary]

Um, I haven't tried it.

All right, see what happens.

[music playing]

Hey.

- Hey.

- Nice spread.

It's all Gene.

You know how hard she works.

Trying to make me fat?

Don't look in there.

Ugh.

Damien! [chuckling]

[Rosemary] Don't look in there!

Hey! I told you

not to look in there!

Have you no respect

for the dead?

That's dead?

I was supposed

to give her a proper burial,

but my dad says we're here

for at least three hours.

Burying it seems

like the right thing to do.

Her name was Faye.

[music playing]

Here you go!

Thank you.

So, uh, who doesn't have

a lobster that wants one?

Hey! How about over here?

You're next! You're next!

Adults first.

[youth] Boo!

Oh, you kids.

You guys want some salad?

- Yeah, sure. Thanks.

- There you go.

They were talking

to the Bee Society.

He got a hive two seasons ago,

and all of his bees,

they just up and disappeared

the first year.

- What?

- Yeah.

So they went and they asked him,

"What's going on?"

Dave and I saw

some loggers on my property.

all the bees

abandoned the hive.

There wasn't enough food.

The city's

trying to fell my trees.

- They just go somewhere else.

- They can't do that.

- [Frank] No.

- He said, "Usually, yeah,"

but this year,

they all just died off.

So me and my son,

we built a fence,

but I tell ya...

I'm not feeling good

about what's coming next.

b*stards.

Mm.

So the question really is

what are we gonna do

about our food sources?

'Cause if we don't have the bees

to pollinate everything...

I'm so excited for this.

I've never tried lobster before.

Oh, what? Really?

Yeah. When's the last time

you had lobster?

Oh, um, a couple years ago,

we did a trip to Nova Scotia.

We were with Mom on that trip!

Rosemary!

[Lucas]

Dude, what are you doing?

How many do you think

I could fit in my mouth?

Oh, my god, Sam,

don't embarrass me.

Nice!

No... no.

- Sam, don't be a brat.

- No... no.

Cin cin!

[all] Cheers!

Wow!

[Lucas] My dad doesn't

give a sh*t about this.

He's like either it's

some thing from outer space,

or the government.

My dad's convinced

it's government satellites

spying on us.

Oh, I didn't know Frank Piers

was a government spy now.

- [chuckling]

- Sam, shut up.

[Cass] I'm so freaked out

because every single scientist

you watch

is freaking out.

[Sam] It was just

a couple little comets.

We saw it happen.

[Lucas] Do you even

remember last night?

You got more trashed

than all of us.

No way. D won by a landslide.

- [Rosemary] Freeze!

- Aah!

[Lucas] Jesus!

That scared me.

Oh, my god, is that

your little sister?

Rosemary?

Sorry for interrupting.

She's totally filming us.

- Rosie, turn the camera off.

- She's filming us.

Dad said no drinking, no drugs.

Turn it off now!

Make me.

Rosie?

Rosie!

[banging]

Rosie!

[Lucas] Yo, your sister's

such a troublemaker.

[Arron] Rosemary?

[Cass] Is it locked?

[Arron] It's jammed.

[Cass] Should we tell someone

about your sister?

[creaking]

[creaking]

I'm Rosemary Piers, on

the search to find the big one,

'cause I'm not afraid to find

the big, big, big, big one.

[buzzing sound]

B?

Is that you?

[banging]

Arron?

[Dave] Rosemary?

Rosemary?

[flicking light switch]

Rosie, look at these

rickety old floorboards.

It's too dangerous to even

be standing around up here.

Come on, let's skedaddle

on out of here.

Mr. Ables...

you have to see this.

Rosie, come on!

It's not time for playing

games, it's time...

What in God...?

Aah! sh*t!

What happened?

Did you get hurt, Mr. Ables?

[gasping]

No, I'm fine.

Now, come on. Let's go.

[Dave] Oh...

[Dave breathing hard]

[Gene] Well, look who we found.

Where have you been,

little Rosemary?

[breathlessly] The barn.

You okay?

I gotta go to the washroom.

I'll tell you in a sec.

I think it's time we go

wake up your father,

what do you say?

Sounds like a plan.

Let's go.

[TV playing quietly]

Dad.

Uh... Rosie?

Dave found your little one

playing explorer in the barn.

[Frank] Oh...

Did you break something?

Dad, you have to come

see B the Beehive.

The beehive?

I think it might be angry.

Oh, yeah?

The wasp nest.

Is that the first one

or the second one?

There's three.

You need to come see it!

I'm a bit tired, sweetie.

Will it still be there tomorrow?

Who... wants leftovers?

Wow.

Thank you so much, Genie.

[shower running]

Oh...

A feast like no other.

Look at that.

Tomorrow's dinner,

all taken care of.

- That was nice, eh?

- Yeah.

The party boy in bed already?

Well, it sounds like

he started the shower.

I don't know

what that's all about.

Well, ol' Davie's fried.

Well, but he always

says his goodbyes.

- It's fine.

- Well, you want me to get him?

Ah, I'm sure I'll see him again.

Ah, well, I'm sure you will.

Have a wonderful evening,

you two.

- Good night, Mrs. Ables.

- Good night.

[Frank] I ate too much.

I'm so full.

You know if your brother

has some friends over?

[Rosemary] I don't know.

Dad, I just need

to go bury Faye.

[Frank] Who?

[Rosemary] Faye the Frog.

Oh, seriously, Rosie?

Yes. Seriously.

Fine, just don't go

too far in the back.

Yup, you got it!

Okay.

[sighing]

[sinister music plays]

[Diana] This is so creepy!

[Sam] Man, you keep saying that

every five minutes.

[Lucas] This dude's gonna die.

[Sam] Man,

can you walk any faster?

Looks like D on a bad day.

[chuckling]

[Diana] Shut up, Lucas.

This girl's so creepy.

I'm not scared at all.

[Frank screams]

Oh, my god.

[laughing]

Dad!

[laughing]

Scary movie?

[Lucas] Yeah.

[Frank] Which one's this?

Just some crappy found-footage

horror movie.

Well, have fun.

Hey, Dad!

Um, I... I just wondered

if you, uh, talked

to Aunt Zoe today?

Briefly.

I just wondered...

um, I don't know...

her opinion on

all this stuff going on.

Her thoughts about the comets

and everything else going on.

Yeah, she, um...

We didn't talk that much.

Hmm.

You worked hard

on that fence today, Son.

You have fun with your friends.

I hope you had a good life

on Earth, Faye.

Have a safe journey home.

[pounding]

Stop! What are you doing?

Hey.

Hey, get out of here, kid!

No! You get out of here!

Get out!

What'd I say? Watch it!

Come on!

[buzzing sound]

Mason...

What?

Dad! Dad!

Rosie?

What is it?

There's loggers in the back!

What?

I saw them.

Where? Here? Now?

They're destroying the fence!

What happened to your face?

No! Why is he doing that?

It's classic. Come on.

Oh, my god, run, dude.

Listen up, everybody.

I need you to all go home.

A family emergency's come up.

Arron, I need to see you.

What's going on, man?

- You good?

- Dad?

What's going on?

I need your help.

There are loggers in the back

tearing up the place.

What?

What... what are we gonna do?

We're gonna scare them off.

Why can't we just

call the police?

The police work for the city.

The loggers work for the city.

- Dad. Dad.

- Come on, Son, let's go!

Dad! Stop! Okay?

Think!

This is insane!

Dad!

Boots on. Now!

[Cass] What happened?

There's men trespassing

in the back.

Oh, my God.

Your dad need backup?

Doubt it.

[Frank] Arron?

What?

I'm firing the tractor.

Let's go!

Hey, man, are you sure

we shouldn't wait?

No, it's all good.

I'll message.

Good luck, man.

[door closing]

I think we should wait, Arron.

- Cass...?

- No, really.

We'll be okay.

- We've got to go home.

- Okay.

You have my number?

Yeah, I got your number.

I had a great night.

Yeah?

Me too.

[vehicle leaving]

Be careful.

I will.

Okay.

See ya soon.

[door closing]

[tractor approaching]

I love driving

over this rough ground,

especially in the dark.

[idling low]

[turning engine off]

What... what... what... what?

Just in case.

Dad, I... I... I... I don't

like this at...

for one bit.

Dad?

Just... stay there. Wait.

- Dad?

- Don't come any closer.

Is he dead?

Dad! Is he dead?

Yes.

[low buzzing sound]

[Frank] Rosie?

Rosemary!

Daddy!

Something's wrong. B's upset!

[crying]

[Frank] What?

That's... B the Beehive.

Honey...

That's not a beehive.

[Rosemary] It changed!

Rosie, stand back.

Don't stand so close to it.

What is it, Daddy?

Did you know about this, Arron?

No.

Arron?

No.

No!

Arron...

bring the tractor here.

There's a ladder

on the back of it.

Now?

Yes... now.

[tractor engine running]

Stay here.

[low buzzing]

[gasping]

- Daddy?

- Dad?

I'm okay.

Daddy?

Arron, bring the tractor

back to the shed.

Take your sister with you.

Dad! What...

what... what about...?

We'll deal with it.

It's too dark now

to see anything anyway.

Dad!

We have to do something!

Go home with the tractor, Arron.

Take your sister with you.

- Dad, I'm freaking out!

- Go home!

Go!

[Arron] Let's go.

Go home.

[starting tractor engine]

God, this is so messed up.

Are we gonna die?

No.

I had the same feeling

the day at the hospital...

Rosie, just... just stop, okay?

I... everyone needs to think,

and we'll figure this out.

Are you scared?

No.

Tell the truth!

Yes, of course I'm scared.

It's my fault, just say it!

It's not your fault, Rosie.

I know you blame me.

No.

Just like when Mom died.

Don't talk about Mom!

Why?

Why don't you want to

talk to me anymore, Arron?

You used to always talk to me.

I never stopped talking to you.

I...

I stopped talking to everyone.

I'm so scared.

I'm sorry.

because the shower's running,

but he's not answering me.

Do you think... what...

What if he's had a stroke?

Call 9-1-1.

Just don't know
