AMY When the new world began, everyone had to live with the choices they had made, and their terrible consequences. But there were moments of grace. LACEY Who are you? LEAR I'm Dr. Jonas Lear. LACEY You the one responsible for this mess? LEAR Yes. LACEY Sir, you want to tell me what the plan is for that gun in your hand? LEAR I was gonna kill myself. It's all over, anyway. LACEY You sure about that? LEAR Have you seen how fast these monsters can kill? There are 12 virals. Telluride has a population of 2,500 people. They can tear through that town in less than a day, and they're gonna multiply. Durango will be next, then Grand Junction, then Denver. You see where I'm going. This is how our world ends. LACEY "For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his dear son whom he loves, in whom we have redemption, forgiveness of sin." LEAR Colossians? LACEY You know your New Testament. My name is Lacey Antoine, and I'm here to tell you you don't get to die today. Dying is for the innocent. You have work to do. The sin has been committed. Now, your redemption can begin. AMY AMY For me, this was the best time. We were a family. WOLGAST There it is. You got something. Come on, keep going. It's all you. AMY Oh my gosh. WOLGAST There it is, keep going. Ooh, it's a big one. AMY Really? WOLGAST Look at that. Yeah, there it is. Can you see? Come on, bring it up. AMY WOLGAST Oh, man, look at that. AMY Oh my gosh! WOLGAST Pick it up. AMY It's still alive. WOLGAST Not for long. AMY That's mean. WOLGAST Nature's a bitch. Now you know how to fish. AMY Does she have a name? WOLGAST Breakfast. Her name is Breakfast. AMY It's not working. WOLGAST Don't come in until it's lit. WOLGAST I see you got your appetite back. I like that. LILA Well, that was delicious. WOLGAST You always say that. LILA Well, I appreciate it. WOLGAST And you also just like not cooking. LILA That's true. I'll take the dishes... WOLGAST It's good. AMY I'll take it. LILA Aw, thanks, honey. Uh, we're running low on supplies. Anybody want to take a trip into town? AMY Actually, I'm kind of tired. LILA You have had her up since dawn. WOLGAST Okay. Sure. You know the rules. We'll be back way before dark. Ready? LILA Yeah. WOLGAST All right. BROADCASTER We're hearing now that another great American city has been lost. The president has ordered U.S. military forces to abandon the Houston perimeter after a night of heavy losses, when Army and National Guard units were overwhelmed by a large force of infected persons moving into the city. This is the fourth major city to fall since the outbreak began. Gasoline remains scarce... LILA How long are we staying here? WOLGAST Until the cdc helicopter gets here. LILA It's been three weeks. Where are they? We should be a priority. We have the only known cure to this virus sitting on the shelf in our house. I mean, maybe we should just bring it to them. WOLGAST No, no, Lila. The whole country's in chaos. We won't even make it out of Oregon. You saw how jammed up it was heading east out of Colorado. BROADCASTER We are committed to bringing you updates as long as we are able. Please be safe. LILA Oh, there's Bob. WOLGAST Morning, Bob. BOB Morning. WOLGAST You get any chatter on your radio about incoming flights? Plane or chopper? BOB Nope. Nothing. I don't know who you're expecting, but they might have been detained by current events. You hear about Houston? LILA Yeah. WOLGAST Yeah. We're heading into town for supplies. You need anything? BOB Bullets. I could always use bullets. WOLGAST Will do. WOLGAST Hey, babe, I'm gonna go check around here and see if it's open. LILA Okay. BRIAN I thought they only moved at night. Why won't these bloodsuckers stick to the rules? BRIAN Can I get your blink on this, Agent? I moderate a little chat group that's been tabulating casualties. CARLA I can't thank you enough for shooting that thing dead. BRIAN Well, he's a federal agent, Ma. He's probably had a lot of practice. CARLA I thought I knew everyone left in these parts. You must be squirreled away real good. WOLGAST Well, we stick close to the cabin. CARLA Why didn't you evacuate? LILA Well, nowhere to go, so we just took our chances. BRIAN Once we started getting into the thousands, I started marking them. I have a digital version for my followers. But everything's gonna go dark soon, so... hard copies. WOLGAST So is it ten hot spots? BRIAN Yeah. The, uh, Pacific Northwest is very quiet. WOLGAST What about Vegas? Nothing in Nevada? BRIAN No. Why? Is Nevada important? Is that where the government bunkers are, or...? WOLGAST No, no. Just-- We have friends there. LILA We have a ten-year-old girl at home. We should get back. CARLA Well, it is hard enough to be a parent, but with all of this... WOLGAST They all went home. The virals. The hot spots are places they're originally from. Remember, I picked them up. I learned their stories. They all went home. LILA Yeah, but wasn't Shauna Babcock from Las Vegas? So why isn't Nevada a hot spot? YOUNG MOTHER No, please! Please! OFFICER Sh-She can't stay here... YOUNG MOTHER She's not infected! Stop! She's only five! OFFICER She's sick... SOLDIER We need to take her... SOLDIERS/OFFICERS YOUNG MOTHER Don't touch her! Stop! Stop pushing! RICHARDS Hey! Lower your weapon. Hey! What's going on? OFFICER She's infected. YOUNG MOTHER She's not. RICHARDS It's all right now. It's okay. You're not feeling so great, huh? Can you open up for me? YOUNG MOTHER She's not infected. She's sick. RICHARDS She had any, uh, scratches or bites? Anything like that, ma'am? YOUNG MOTHER No. OFFICER Behind you, sir. YOUNG MOTHER Not a scratch. She just has a sore throat. That's, That's all. RICHARDS All right, just give us a minute. POLICE OFFICER The kid looked pretty bad. RICHARDS Just get them checked in. Find them some cots. YOUNG MOTHER It's okay, honey. RICHARDS Kid just got a cold. I want the doors locked down an hour before sunset. SHERIFF Hey. Hey! Hey! Shut it down! I'm not gonna tell you again! Jesus. RICHARDS Sheriff? SHERIFF Yes. RICHARDS What's the story with, uh, Belushi in there? SHERIFF Well, he's got warrants for his arrest. RICHARDS What are we talking? SHERIFF Robbery, assault, rape. RICHARDS He's a triple threat. SHERIFF Yeah, he's from Wyoming. Trying to get someone out here to pick him up, but the infrastructure out there is gone. I don't know what to do with him. RICHARDS I'll take him to county. SHERIFF Are you sure? RICHARDS Yeah. SHERIFF No. No, no... It's getting dark. Curfew's in effect. RICHARDS I'm gonna be fine. Besides, he can't stay here. SHERIFF All right. Thanks. DISPATCH BAGOSIAN I'm amazed you made it here. The last three convoys didn't. LACEY We got lucky. Found the National Guard. BAGOSIAN A lot of people are asking why you're not rotting in jail. LACEY He knows what he's done, but he's the one who can fix it. LEAR The only known cure was put into a car headed for the CDC in Atlanta. BAGOSIAN Well, that could be anywhere by now. Everything below South Carolina is getting pretty nasty. Can you replicate the cure? LEAR Well, I can reverse engineer the virus, but I need blood and tissue sample from a viral subject. BAGOSIAN We have one in the morgue. How long will it take? LEAR I don't know. Depends on the resources. BAGOSIAN I'm sorry. Maybe I didn't make it clear. We're facing a diplomatic crisis. The virus started here in the U.S. The rest of the world is terrified. They're having meetings and we're not invited. It's bad. Do I make myself clear? LACEY Loud and clear. BAGOSIAN No one leaves till we find a solution. INSERTS Incoming call... Jonas Lear RICHARDS Hello. LEAR Hello, friend. It's good to hear your voice. RICHARDS Same. You safe? LEAR I'm at the, uh, Global Health Federation. We're, uh, we're trying to replicate Nichole's cure. Obviously, it'd be easier if I had the original... Have you heard from Wolgast? RICHARDS Not a thing. LEAR Damn. SONG LEAR Damn. You think he and Amy made it? RICHARDS I don't play that game, Jonas. LEAR Yeah. Uh, I hear Nevada's, uh, quiet. We have you to thank for that? RICHARDS I'm doing my best. LEAR You okay? RICHARDS No, I'm not. So if you could just hurry up and figure out a cure, I'd greatly appreciate that. Take care. LEAR Yeah. You, too. SONG CRIMINAL BABCOCK SONG LILA The CDC's not coming. WOLGAST You don't know that. LILA They'd be here by now. Carla said there were some people in the area. WOLGAST Who? Why didn't she tell me this? LILA They're a group from Doctors Without Borders. WOLGAST You met them already? LILA I want to travel with them to the CDC. WOLGAST Lila, this is the only place I can keep us safe. If the government gets a hold of Amy, it's 4B all over again. LILA I'm not talking about bringing Amy or you. WOLGAST You want to go alone? Why? LILA Look, I don't know how Nichole healed me, but she did. And maybe there's a chance that my blood can be useful in helping to find that cure. WOLGAST You said it yourself that you're different than Amy. Lila, you've heard the news reports. It's not safe out there. LILA That viral at the gas station, it didn't attack me. WOLGAST One... LILA I don't think it saw me as food. WOLGAST We're better together than apart. LILA I just don't know how much that matters when the world is burning. WOLGAST LILA Look, I have thought this through. Amy is definitely safest here with you. And the time we had together has been such a gift. It was such a gift. But I have to do this. You have to let me go. LILA Come here. Take care of him... and you. WOLGAST Everything in me is telling me not to let you go. LILA I know. WOLGAST If you change your mind, if you get even the slightest bad feeling... AMY Then we were a family of two instead of three. FANNING Her name was Susan. Believed in God. LEAR You're not really here. FANNING Poor Susan was awfully hungry by the time the paramedics got to her. She drank one, she bit the other. He made a stop at Children's Hospital before he knew he was infected-- You see where this is going? So it really doesn't matter if I'm here or if I'm not, 'cause pretty soon I'll be everywhere. LEAR More virals depletes the human blood supply you need to survive. It doesn't make sense. Why do it? Why make more? FANNING I don't know. Why does anyone have kids? LEAR What are you doing here, Tim? Are you lonely? The brilliant neuroscientist doesn't have all that much to say to his pack of degenerate murderers, does he? I have work to do. FANNING Need I remind you what happened to Dr. Sykes when she found the cure? LEAR Do you think I care if I die? FANNING Oh, go ahead. Roll this boulder up this mountain again. I'll be waiting at the top to knock it back down. LEAR So, what, you're toying with me, is that it? For what? She's gone, Tim! FANNING And that's on you, Jonas! When Elizabeth died, I felt it. Yeah, you were holding her in your arms, but I was with her. And she blamed you for everything. LEAR You're a lying bastard. FANNING So go ahead. You spend your last few days on Earth looking down every microscope in this building. It won't absolve you, and it won't stop what I've unleashed on this world. LEAR I have work to do. AMY Can you quit staring at me? WOLGAST How about you stop noticing me staring at you and you focus on the target? Come on, let it fly. You're letting yourself get distracted. 'Cause you're thinking-- I mean, just block out the wind. Block out your thoughts. Block out all the noise. AMY You're the only one making noise out here. WOLGAST Amy, I'm serious. Focus. Go again. AMY What am I doing? What am I practicing for? WOLGAST I need you to be prepared. AMY For what? What am I supposed to do? WOLGAST I don't know, Amy. I don't-- I don't have the answer, okay? All I know is that this is on you. You have a job to do. I don't even know what the job is, but I just know that I have to teach you everything I can. I'm not gonna be around as long as you are, you know. And the-- And the world-- I'm sorry-- but it's-it's a hell of a lot scarier. And I just, I just want you to be okay. Can you understand that? AMY Love you, too, Agent. AMY Ow. You're pulling. WOLGAST I'm sorry… I got to pull to keep it tight. AMY You've never done this before. WOLGAST I've never done this before, but I can learn a new skill, too. Pop quiz. How do you find the North Star? AMY Um, you use the Big Dipper and draw a straight line to Polaris. WOLGAST Good. AMY Pop quiz. What if I told you I saw the future? WOLGAST I'd say keep talking. AMY When Fanning grabbed me, I saw something. I saw the future. It was bad. Fanning was dying, and I saved him, and I don't know why. I think that's why he didn't kill me. WOLGAST Are you worried that... you'll become like him? AMY Maybe. I'm scared, Agent. WOLGAST When I get scared, I gather facts. So, fact you have a good heart. Fanning does not. Fact you're the bravest person I know. He is not. And all the training we've done is to help you feel prepared for whatever comes next. That's what we've been doing. That... and braiding hair. AMY Okay. How do I look? WOLGAST Like a badass. AMY MAN RICHARDS Son of a bitch. RICHARDS Shauna. Your dinner's ready. BABCOCK This isn't working for me. SONG RICHARDS I don't have time for this. BABCOCK Yes, you do. All we have is time. You and me-- we are linked forever. Do you understand that? RICHARDS It doesn't mean I have to like it, or spend a moment that is longer than absolutely necessary to keep you in check. BABCOCK You're keeping me in check? Because I think you're starving me, because that's what makes you comfortable with what I am. RICHARDS What do you want to do, huh? Should we have a date night? I'll sit over here, I'll ask you about your day, and then you're gonna ask me about mine? BABCOCK Yeah, I'll start. How was your day? Do you feel as lonely as I do? RICHARDS You're delusional. BABCOCK I saved your life. RICHARDS And not a moment passes that I don't regret asking you to do that. We may be blood linked, but that doesn't mean you own me. Maybe your buddy Fanning didn't explain that part to you. BABCOCK Yeah, I could fill a book with the things Fanning didn't explain to me, starting with the totally unfair part where you get to live forever, minus the sun allergy, and you get to eat food. You get to eat, like, real actual food. RICHARDS I walk around all day delighted about my life. There's a man in my trunk that you're about to eat. BABCOCK Give me the keys. You're still telling yourself the same story. That you're some Boy Scout who's following all the rules, and you're better than everyone else, and I'm just a train wreck that ruined your life. But do you know what? You ruined mine first. I was human before I met you. BABCOCK I'm gonna eat that guy in the trunk, but it's the last time. Deal's off. I'm gonna feed myself from now on. SONG FANNING Amy. You wanted to see me? AMY I want to ask you a question. FANNING Well, ask me. AMY How many people have you killed? FANNING Ballpark... Maybe a thousand. I went a little crazy in Nebraska. AMY So you didn't kill anybody before? You were a scientist. FANNING Yeah, it just came naturally. What was done to us changed us. Now we're something else. AMY I still feel like me. FANNING Do you? 'Cause I know you pretend to eat in front of the agent. I know you're hungry for something besides trout. AMY Aren't you disgusted with what you are? FANNING No. You won't be, either, once you take your place at the top of the food chain. And by the way? You won't need to know how to fish or build a fire, either. AMY I'm just getting ready, Fanning. FANNING For our big fight? Well, I got news for you, kid. I'm not your enemy. AMY I would never kill anyone. FANNING Let's test that thesis. AMY What are you doing? FANNING I'm lighting a fuse. AMY No. No. No, please don't do that. FANNING Bob's infected. Events have been set into motion. Let's see how this plays out. AMY Go away! FANNING Bye, Amy. LEAR You know there's more room down the hall, right? I mean, if you want some... some privacy. LACEY I'm sorry, princess. Am I crowding you? LEAR No. Just saying. LACEY You still want to kill yourself? LEAR Yup. LACEY Then you and I are like Bert and Ernie. LEAR Oh, great. And I get to be Bert? LACEY And you know what? How about a little gratitude? LEAR Gratitude? LACEY You think it's easy cheering up your mopey ass all day? LEAR Oh, thank you. LACEY You're welcome. Any progress today? LEAR I mean, even if I crack Nichole's formula, I'm not gonna put it through human trials, so, we won't even know what the side effects are. Bagosian wants to start giving it to people. What does that sound like to you? LACEY Project Noah. Obviously, you're not gonna do that. LEAR Obviously. No, he wants to get me on a conference call with a special UN counsel, try to convince them that the antiviral's ready. LACEY What countries? LEAR Find the common denominator. Russia, China, France, India... LACEY Everybody with nukes. LEAR Yeah. Fanning's getting everything he wanted. LACEY "And God said to Cain, 'Where is Abel, thy brother?' And he said, 'I know not.'" LEAR You got to stop with the Bible. LACEY You and Fanning are tied. I'm just saying. It's not over until it's over. WOLGAST Hey. CARLA Hey. Hey, Agent. WOLGAST What's going on? CARLA Have you seen Bob? BRIAN We saw his truck on the side of the road. WOLGAST Maybe he ran out of gas. BRIAN No. The tank was three quarters full. CARLA That's not like him. AMY He's here. He's outside. And he's bleeding. WOLGAST How do you know? AMY I just know. WOLGAST Excuse me. Hey, Bob. How you feeling? BOB Turns out, I could use a little help. Should we do this in the woods? I mean, everybody doesn't need to see this, right? WOLGAST Sure, Bob. Let's take a walk. AMY No. Please, stop, please, no. WOLGAST Amy, go inside. AMY No. Please, don't go... WOLGAST Take her, please. It'll be okay. BOB I don't even know when I was attacked. You know, the part they don't tell you? It feels really good. It's amazing. AMY Oh God, Agent. WOLGAST MAN 1 Who do we have? MAN 2 We have India, Russia and China. BAGOSIAN Lear? MAN 1 How's the connection? MAN 2 Strength is good for now. BAGOSIAN Under no circumstances are you to mention Project Noah or anything that occurred there. Okay, this call is about your antiviral and its imminent delivery. LEAR I mean, I'm close, but it hasn't been tested yet. We're nowhere near mass production. BAGOSIAN Imminent delivery, nothing less. Thank you for joining us. BRITISH OFFICIAL Director Bagosian, let me begin by saying we're extremely worried. Current projections say this could cross our borders at any time now despite travel bans. CHINESE OFFICIAL We're holding Americans in quarantine at our embassy. Where can we send them? BAGOSIAN Well, Dr. Lear is working on the antiviral. Distribution's getting worked out right now. RUSSIAN OFFICIAL Russia is not interested in empty American promises. We want you to stop the spread of the disease. LEAR Well, that's our primary concern. Um, we're working around the clock. CHINESE OFFICIAL Why isn't your government being transparent about this? BAGOSIAN The purpose of this call is to move forward with a plan to distribute an antiviral that Dr. Lear has created. BRITISH OFFICIAL When can Great Britain expect delivery of your vaccine, Dr. Lear? LEAR Soon. Uh, very soon. Uh... CHINESE OFFICIAL We've learned the United States Center for Disease Control is gone. LEAR What? PEOPLE / It can't be... LEAR Is that true? CHINESE OFFICIAL They were the only U.S. agency with a proven track record for mass vaccine distribution. Without them, you simply cannot help Chinese citizens, can you? BAGOSIAN Now is not the time to hypothesize what cannot be done. We need to work together and... BRITISH OFFICIAL Your allies are growing impatient, and your enemies are discussing military solutions. Good luck, gentlemen. BAGOSIAN Get back to work. LEAR They're gonna bomb us. PEOPLE RICHARDS Sheriff. SHERIFF Hold up! RICHARDS What's going on? SHERIFF They're here. They made it to Vegas. It's a blood bath. If we can't lock it down, we're done... Hey. Hey, hey, get back here! OFFICER No, let him go... SHERIFF Hey! Are you crazy? Hey! OFFICER Let him go. Let him go. SHERIFF You're gonna get yourself killed. BABCOCK Do it. Shoot me. Come on. Put it right in my sweet spot. RICHARDS You killed all those people. BABCOCK No, that was Martinez. I haven't had a drop to drink since our fight, but go ahead. Shoot me. Take us both out. Our ghosts can have a fight on the way down to hell. RICHARDS I just want... BABCOCK You want what? What do you want? RICHARDS I didn't know it was gonna be like this. One part of me lives out there in the world, and the other part is always here with you. BABCOCK Why is that such a bad thing? RICHARDS I don't know. I don't know anymore. I don't know how to make this right. SONG BRIAN Get away from him. Get away from him we gotta... CARLA Amy, stay away... Amy, dear God, honey... God. Amy. Step back. Step back. Get back, honey, I'm... Shoot him, Brian. Shoot him! AMY Help me. BRIAN Come on, you're gonna get yourself killed! AMY BRIAN Get away from him, we gotta shoot-- CARLA Get away from him. BRIAN I really need you to get back. Please, come on. Get away from him. CARLA Amy. Step away from him. WOLGAST Amy, listen to me. Last lesson. Sometimes the right thing is the hardest thing in the world to do. Okay? AMY No. WOLGAST I'm sorry. BRIAN Come on. AMY No. BRIAN You're gonna get yourself killed. I'm sorry, Agent. AMY BRIAN/CARLA LACEY Jonas, we gotta go. They've evacuated the president and the cabinet. That is nuclear protocol. This is happening. LEAR All right. Hang on. LACEY Is that the cure? LEAR I'm not exactly sure. The only way of knowing is testing it on myself. LACEY What is that gonna do to you? LEAR I don't know, but dying's for the innocent, right? If Fanning's gonna survive this, then I'm gonna survive it, too. I'm not gonna let him win. AMY I don't regret what I did. I can live with my choice. The CDC wasn't coming. Whose life was more important than yours? No one's. I only regret running away. I thought you would look at me and see a monster, but I should have thanked you, at least. You taught me everything, Agent. You taught me what it meant to have a family. You taught me how to take care of myself. How to pay attention. How to be ready. INSERTS Im sorry AMY You taught me how to not panic. VIRALS AMY Be free. AMY I have been alone for so long. I have searched for you everywhere. I think if you were dead, I would know it. So I choose to believe you're alive. It's their world now. Humanity is almost gone, but there is a place where people have managed to stay alive. Maybe I'll find you here. Maybe then I'll be home.
