Spoken

- They're on the wall right there.

- We have never seen anything like this,

and are still trying to understand what happened.

Animal and pest control have been unable to offer

any reasonable or consistent explanation.

The questions remain.

What are they, where did they come from,

and why are they here?

The police have killed what have appeared

to be the last of them,

but many people are severely injured.

Earlier reports have suggested that the creatures

were born form an experiment or formula

concocted by students at the local town camp,

which is known for enrolling troubled youth.

Camp administrators deny any and all such allegations.

- That is what made our summer program popular,

but no one was ever able to discover

the root cause of the outbreak.

I believe, with a little research,

we can offer an analysis and conclusion about what occurred.

How many of you will be going to college this fall?

Good.

Well, if you go to a state school,

you can get scholarship money,

including tuition and housing for your first year.

Did y'all see that?

See what?

- That, the guy, look, rewind it.

There.

Tell me y'all see this guy.

Blow it up.

Now play it again.

What is he doing?

I bet you the government's behind this.

They're the ones experimenting, causing all these problems.

Analysis and conclusion completed.

Can I get my scholarship money, please?

Come on.

- Oh, come on, just 'cause you see a guy

with a stupid box doesn't mean there's something in it

or that it's the government.

Really?

- Zach, I have to say, I agree with Ashley on this.

There was no evidence of government involvement.

And that guy you see might be an innocent bystander

with no connection to the incident whatsoever.

- Then what's your explanation for it,

then, huh, Miss Reynolds?

I don't trust them.

I bet you they placed them arachnids here for some purpose.

That's what we need to be analyzing, why they did it.

In the media, all they do is put fear in us.

They make up shit like this to make

people feel anxious and crazy,

and blame innocent people for it like us.

- Watch your language in this class.

Your assignment is to take what we do know

and offer some sort of explanation.

Channel Three has been waiting for information on this.

Hey.

If the government's out to get us,

why don't they just get us?

What do you mean?

- I mean, they have all the resources

they need to do whatever they wanna do.

If they're trying to kill off everyone in town

with scorpion attacks or whatever, what happened?

- I mean, it looked like the police stopped it.

Thank God.

- Then it couldn't have been the government.

The police are the government.

I just wish they'd come up with some way to stop us.

Be better that way.

Wait, what do you mean?

Why do you say that?

- There'll be no regrets, no tomorrows,

no worries, no issues, and we wouldn't have to be here,

living this miserable life every single day,

hoping for nothing.

It doesn't seem worth it.

Jake, we talked about this.

I need you to continue being you.

I mean, you're here for a reason.

You may not see it now, but you'll see it someday,

and how much I need you, and we all need you.

- You sound like somebody's mother.

Look, Lena, you can't change my mind.

I just don't wanna be here anymore.

- Look, if you weren't supposed to be here, you wouldn't be.

I mean, you have a purpose for your life.

There's greatness in you.

The world will see it, you just-

- Just go kill yourself and get it over with.

Really, Ashley?

What?

- You drunk bitch, why don't you just do it for me?

I'm not drunk.

What?

I had one mimosa for breakfast.

I'm so sick and tired of his weak

"I wanna die" bullshit.

He just wants attention.

Who does that, who sits and just complains

to everyone about every single stupid little thing?

- I mean, it'd help if you just act like you cared.

Oh, whatever.

My 10-year-old cousin got killed in a car accident,

so I just hate people who don't appreciate life.

I mean, Jake's got his rich little father

and his rich little mother and all this money,

and he's depressed.

My mom's at home right now with both her breasts

cut off from cancer.

And do you see me complaining about anything?

Kinda sort of right now.

- Hi, I hope you're scheduled to work

the night shift at the gym next weekend.

I already told everyone about the annual gala.

- In order to work that shift, I have to switch

with Rob this week, and I need to work this week

'cause I really need the money.

- Don't go trying to change the plans.

- Why don't you just work both?

Work this week and next?

No, we can't take any chances.

Fine, I'll give you some money.

How much do you need?

I got 50 bucks, you can have it.

- If you're passing it out, I'll take it.

Okay, okay, let me try to catch Rob now.

- So, did you tell Carson about the party?

- No, I'm not ready for that right now.

What?

I think you should tell him, I know he'll come.

- I'm just not ready to see him right now.

- Lena, you can't keep being mad at him.

It's not his fault.

He was upset about the situation just as much as you were.

- You make it sound like it's so easy, like it's nothing.

I'm just saying it like it is.

- I think I'm just gonna go to chapel this Sunday.

I really need to get my mind off of Carson

and off the whole thing.

And chapel's gonna do that?

Hmm, take your boy Jake with you.

He needs Jesus, too.

Hey, Mom, I'm fine.

Yeah, I think I made the right decision.

Huh?

No, I'm not gonna come home right now.

I just need some time away.

Just let me finish the program.

Yeah.

I said I'm fine.

Okay, tell Bobby

I'll call him later.

Okay, bye.

Who is it?

Oh my God, Tyler, you scared me for a second.

Wow, that was really good.

You know, you should be getting paid for your music.

You're really that good.

Nah, I just do it for fun

when I find motivation to do it.

Hmm, well, what motivates you?

Things that move my heart.

Things that are lovely.

Things that encourage me to be better each day.

- Hmm, well, what encourages you?

For starters, you.

Stop.

No, really, what encourages you?

I'm serious, you do.

I find hope every time I'm around you.

You just make me feel good about myself.

You make me feel like a man.

Wow, that's sweet.

You're such a nice person, but you know

there's nothing, you know, nothing between you and me.

I mean, I like you, but as a friend.

- Yeah, I know, Lee, yeah, I don't want

anything from you, no strings attached.

Just your friendship.

Hey, it's after seven.

How did you get past the RA?

Come on, I know my way around.

- Okay, so you know that if I get caught

with a guy in my room, I'll have early check-in

and curfew next weekend.

Trust me, I won't get caught.

Oh, is the party still next weekend?

Yeah, the gala.

Yeah, that's why you can't get caught.

Ashley's trying to work the night shift,

so she'll have a key.

Cool.

Oh, hold on a sec.

Hey, I'm sorry, I have to take this.

- Yeah, yeah, I understand, yeah, no problem.
