Almost Human

Oh, fuck.

Fuck.

Mark! Open the fucking door!

Jesus, man, wh...

Seth, are you okay?

I thought Rob was coming with you.

Seth!

What the hell's wrong?

Look, something happened to Rob.

Something fucking took him and was chasing after me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. What are you talking about?

Rob was in my truck.

We were driving here.

And out of nowhere, this blue light

explodes in front of me.

I almost hit a fucking tree.

And it was making this ear-piercing noise.

Seth, there's nothing outside.

When did this happen?

Right now, on Perry Hill Road.

Well, let's go.

Let's go?

Yeah, I want you to show me where it happened.

I'm not fucking going back out there!

Did you hear what I said?

A beam sucked him into the fucking sky!

And you left him there.

He wasn't there.

He fucking vanished.

Seriously.

Don't go out there.

Seth, you look like shit.

You better not be fucking with me.

I swear on my mother's grave, Mark.

Something took Rob.

Who are you calling?

I'm calling Rob.

Mark!

It's here.

Ah, fuck!

Did you hear that?

Mark?

What's going on?

Jen, babe, go back to sleep.

What was that noise?

I think we blew a breaker. I'm gonna go look for it.

Seth?

- Are you okay? - Jen, please go back to sleep.

No, I'm staying down here.

You didn't blow a breaker.

This is getting fucking ridiculous.

Mark!

Don't waste your time. Let's get the hell out of here.

Seth what the fuck is going on?

- Something fucking weird. - (RIFLE COCKS)

I'm gonna find out what it is.

Are you out of your goddamn mind? Put the gun down, Mark.

Jen, stay here.

Keep an eye on her.

Mark!

This isn't funny!

- Call the police. - I am.

What's going on?

No! No! No!

Here in Derry, we've had numerous reports

and now have confirmation the entire county went completely dark.

Authorities have yet to find an explanation for the outage.

Around the same time power was lost throughout the county,

many residents reported seeing lights in the sky.

It had nothing to do with the blackouts.

It's now been five days since Mark Fisher or Rob Baker have been seen.

According to police, the two vanished sometime Friday night.

During the county-wide blackouts.

We have very little evidence as of now, and we currently only have two witnesses,

both of whose accounts are very vague.

Neither are suspects.

Jen Craven, fiancée of Mark Fisher,

was the last to see him alive on Friday, October the 13th.

She now claims the pair's best friend, Seth Hampton,

may be responsible for the disappearance.

We believe Mr. Hampton

may have more to do with these disappearances than we previously thought.

Earlier today, Seth Hampton was taken into police custody.

No, I've told you this.

I don't know where they are.

I don't know where either of them are. I don't know what happened to them.

I don't know what the fuck is going on. I have these nightmares, and I...

I see Rob, and I see him screaming, and I see Mark...

What, do you think I cut the lights

to be able to have an alibi?

Mark was my best friend!

Citing a lack of evidence,

Seth Hampton has been released by local authorities.

Hampton, claiming no memory of the evening's events, maintains his innocence.

God damn it.

Dr. Sean Lewis' office.

How may I help you?

Hi. This is Seth Hampton.

I have an appointment on Friday, but I'd like to change it.

Okay, sir.

- When would work best for you? - Today.

Sometime today, please.

I'm sorry, sir. We don't have...

Look, it's an emergency.

Just tell the doctor who it is, and I only need 15 minutes.

Hold on.

Dan Fisk live here in Derry,

which appears to be the epicenter of last night's events.

Over 50 local eyewitnesses claim that the lights appeared around midnight

and stayed prominently in the sky...

Hello? Sir?

Yes. Hello?

Can you come in at 11:00?

I'll be there. Thank you so much.

Okay.

I mean, I was nodding off.

My girl, she wakes me up, and I'm thinking maybe it's, like, my neighbor

with the lawn mower, and it's this loud, annoying, buzzing sound.

I go outside, and so this light lights up the sky...

Hello. Roger's hardware.

- How can I help you? - Nikki?

Nikki, it's Seth.

Uh, look, I have to go into the doctor's this morning.

Could you just let Clancy know I'll be late?

Sure, let me just put you through to him.

No, no. That's okay.

Just tell him I'll be in by 1:00.

Thanks.

'Cause I remember... I remember a few years ago,

last time we had something like this happen, the whole town shut down,

so I'm... I'm a little concerned.

These mysterious events have many people asking, does this have anything to do

with the recent power outages

that have plagued the county?

Many locals claim that these lights are eerily similar to ones that appeared

in the night sky over Maine almost two years ago.

Hey, hon.

Yeah?

You still getting a ride home from Tracy?

As far as I know.

You talked to the mechanic, right?

Yeah, He said it'd be ready this afternoon.

Just put it on my card.

Are you sure?

Yep.

Well, I'm gonna head in.

I'll see you tonight.

Something wrong?

No. I'm fine.

Can I have a kiss?

I'll see you later.

Hey, Jen.

Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you. Oh, that's okay. I'm just zoning out.

So how you doing? Did you have a good weekend?

Yeah. It was relaxing.

Good. Good.

Listen, Jen, I hate to do this to you.

I'm gonna have to drop your Thursday shift.

This week?

Every week.

I need those hours.

I know you do, but it's been a really slow winter,

and I've just been having too many people on.

Look, I'm really sorry.

I'm sure business is gonna pick up again soon, all right?

Fucker cut your hours too?

Yep, my Thursday shifts.

That wicked sucks.

Just be glad he didn't cut two shifts, like he did Heidi.

- Aw. - Yeah.

I don't know, I think it's time to start looking for a new gig.

Yeah, good luck.

Yeah.

But anyway, I'm fucking dying for a smoke break, so hurry up.

I need you to cover me.

Okay, I'll be right out.

Just give me a minute.
