control's telling me it's going to be about

another 15 or so until we can begin

the deplaning process, so just sit tight, we'll

have you underway as soon as we can.

Excuse me, Richard.

Maybe you should stay seated until we're out

of the gate.

Ow!

What the fuck?

Sorry, I didn't know I had to grab

it.

You fell asleep on me.

How did I do that?

When do we land?

We're here in four minutes.

Folks, I'm now being told that the stairway

they've got on the tarmac here doesn't actually

fit our aircraft, so we'll get you on

the ground as soon as we figure out

what that means.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Did I lose you?

Hello?

Hello?

No, navigation crashed, too.

What the?

Hey, is your phone...

I don't have any reception.

I can't...

Well, if you don't have service, why would

I?

Oh, wait, you know what?

I...

Can I...

Can I email directions?

Can I put your window up?

Paulin is killing me.

So, hey, look.

I just want to say, you know, thanks

again for, you know, being here.

Stop thinking.

Hey, stop thinking.

Come on, go.

Did you just try to flick me?

There's no reason to be nervous.

You're here to enjoy yourself.

That's definitely not why I'm here.

But you still can, right?

Huh?

Take in some nature?

Maybe join me on a trail run?

Or not?

But it's your loss.

Shh.

The mountains this far north, pristine, truly untouched

by man.

Look, I

get you don't want to be here, but

Odell, the Leopolds, they have a big thing

about family.

They just assume that you and I are

particularly close because of everything that, you know,

because of everything that's happened to us.

Because of everything that's happened to us?

Yeah.

Or are you just talking about the one

thing?

I'm sorry.

I just don't feel like being a pity

prop for the single dad thing that's been

going on with your bosses.

That's all.

No, that's not what this is about.

No, we can own it, though.

I mean, we could really milk them for

their sympathy.

I could take a limp.

Maybe I could prepare a weepy monologue about

mom.

But I don't know.

You probably would have to get notes on

it.

We need more time for that.

Whatever this is, just get it out of

your system before we get there.

Are you talking about my personality?

Fine.

I will sit there and smile while they

plan their predatory price gouging at the dinner

table.

Their day-to-day is so far above

drug pricing.

And they care about a lot of things,

not just pharmaceuticals.

I mean, this entire nature reserve was donated

by them.

Yeah, but you know that philanthropy is just,

it's reputation laundering for the oligarchy.

Yeah, okay.

All right.

Maybe I'm the art squad.

But in the real world, you have to

compromise.

Once I'm named proxy and I sit on

this board for five, six years, ten tops,

then I will earn enough to make sure

that we are okay, no matter what hits

us.

All right?

Great.

Oh!

Odell!

Yes, Griffin.

Mr. Leopold is expecting over an hour ago.

What?

Didn't you get my text?

No.

Oh.

Roaming.

Um, no.

Let him know that we will literally be

there any minute.

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry about this, Mr. Leopold.

Oh, I need to slow down.

No.

I need service.

Hello?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

He sounds like a robot guy.

Hello?

Here.

Call him back.

Do it yourself.

This is all for you anyway.

What?

What?

Ugh.

Oh my God.

Using tissue.

That's disgusting.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

You're gonna watch the fucking rope?

It's okay.

It's okay.

We're okay.

I've got the damage waiver.

It's...

What the fuck was that?

I don't think it's good.

Just...

Wait there.

Oh.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I think it's in danger or we can't

we can't just leave it here, right?

What the fuck?

Sorry, I...

Welcome to the Lodge.

What?

Wow.

Counselor.

What happened?

You can walk from the airport or what?

You would not believe.

Okay, that's a joke.

I got it from your shop.

Set your guard Shepard.

I'm so sorry.

We're late How are you?

Are your folks here?

Don't know where else they've been.

I was about to hit the tub, but

come in here for a cut of the

good stuff.

Thank you.

This is my daughter Ridley.

She's happily at home.

It's the perfect timing.

I just got off the zoom with the

foundation about the refugees.

We're evacuating them.

Aren't we fascinating?

It's so good.

Now, I need to apologize in advance.

Odell is very sensitive about word of his

condition getting out, hence the skeleton staff around

here.

Oh, yeah, we're all making sacrifices.

Here he is.

We'd almost assumed the worst.

I'm so sorry to keep you waiting Odell.

These things happen.

How's the drive through the pass?

Get lucky?

Spot any big game on the way?

Unfortunately, no, but it was just lovely.

You okay my dear?

What?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Just um...

Just not feeling good.

Oh, no.

Do you need to lie down?

Griff can show you to your room.

No, are you sure?

He loves doing it.

Might not be a bad idea.

I just don't feel like we can stay.

Sorry?

For the whole weekend.

Well, you must stay for dinner, darling.

Griff is making my famous moussaka.

Mmm, I don't know mom.

She doesn't look so hot.

You have something on your face.

Just so you know.

Maybe you should splash some water on yourself.

See if that helps.

I was like her at that age.

Hormones.

Hormones.

Having exhausted traditional treatment options, I made peace

with my mortality.

And so, in preparing for the bardo, I

meditated on who might best liaise between my

family and my family business in my absence,

and you soon came to mind Elliot.

I knew that Linda and Shep would agree

with me once they got to know you.

Well, I'm so happy to hear you say

that, Odell, because I see this as the

start of a long-term family relationship.

Power of attorney and proxy agreements cover all...

Sorry.

Sorry, but power of attorney and proxy agreements

cover all points previously discussed with me representing

family's board interests at Leopold Laboratories.

So Linda can focus on the foundation, and

Shepard, you're free to pursue your...

My diversified portfolio of entrepreneurial activities.

Yeah, we all know hard science has never

could much contain my interests.

That's right, Shepard.

Exactly.

So no surprise is here.

Well, once I'm situated in my new position,

there are some opportunities both in and outside

of the pharma space that I'd love to

get into, but for now, I just...

Signatures.

I appreciate your lack of foreplay.

That he certainly does.

The whole point here was to go slow,

wasn't it?

We want to know you as a person,

not the VP of Ethics and Compliance that

wins the company fun run every year.

Well, it's only a 10k, and to truly

know someone, you need to know their family.

Art history.

Oh, or, I don't know, undecided, maybe.

I need you in there, and I need

you to be normal.

They won't sign until they get to know

you.

No, we have to go deal with our

baggage.

Now, something is going on, and I think

it's coming out to me.

I can feel it.

Okay, look, it's dead.

It's dead.

I need you to keep it together and

act like everything is fine, and then I

will bury it.

Tonight, when everyone else is asleep, and they'll

never know what happened, and we never have

to talk about it ever again.

I'm so sorry.

It seems as if Ridley is quite sick.

It's like some kind of bug.

It might be contagious even.

So I'm thinking I should just drive her

back to the airport now.

What's wrong?

What's going on here?

Is this some sort of negotiating tactic?

No, it's not.

I promise.

In fact, look, I can drop her off.

I can come right back and even answer

any questions.

Wait, you're gonna what?

Elliot, when I told them about you, I

told them about your character.

Right, my character.

About your mettle in the face of hardship.

How you and your daughter have made a

go of it these past years after your

wife passed on.

Loyalty.

Dedication to the company in that time, because

that's the commitment that will be required.

Even if that means...

Are you okay, my lady?

Uh, no, I'm fine.

I just, there's...

No, you don't have to.

Mr. Leopold, sir?

Yes, uh, what is it?

You know, I'm not sure.

Have a look.

Is that...

Is there something in your car?

What did you say?

What?

No.

By the look of their vomit, my guess

is they struck an animal.

Is that it?

You strike something with your car, then?

Strike something with it?

No.

Did you?

What's in your car, then?

Did you not even kill a guy?

What are you on about?

What is this?

Find an X-Bat and earn a bonus

of up to 100% on your first

deposit.

I think I should be in swim shorts

for this moment.

I know a lot of species in this

area are rare, but is this exact, uh,

you know, familiar to you?

Familiar to us?

No, this is new.

This doesn't seem novel to you?

Yes, it is novel, uh, now that you

mention it.

What exactly are we saying this is, though?

I think we know exactly what it is.

What I can say with total confidence is

Elliot Harris hit a horse-like, um, uh,

mammalia vertebrae?

Would that be the current classification?

No, but it is horse-shaped with some

sort of protrusion or growth.

Right, that's my working theory, too.

Feral horse.

Uh, mad.

Tumor-ridden.

Jumps in the middle of the road.

Not the fault of any one driver, per

se.

What is it?

It's a fucking unicorn.

It does seem like a unicorn.

Oh, come inside.

What have you done?

Uh, we hit it.

With the car.

And then I blood-force traumatized it.

Out of sympathy.

And then his blood got all over my

face.

Yeah, that's right.

Your, your, your face.

What is it?

It's a face.

What?

It's my acne.

No, you don't have any acne.

Not anymore.

And how are you feeling?

All tip-top and no adverse side effects

you speak of.

And you've had no other contact with it?

Well, something got in my eyes.

I admit I maybe went a little overboard

with the tire iron.

But my allergies.

Oh!

Should I call someone?

Yeah.

Yes, yes.

That we could call the Sierra Club.

But there's also the World Wildlife Foundation.

I'm sorry, my child.

But this will have to go governmental, I'm

afraid.

And that means military, doesn't it?

No, I don't think we have to.

Oh, perhaps you're right.

Perhaps we might ideate outside of the box

for an alternative.

Yes, there must be something that we can

do.

I mean, as someone who works with NGOs,

believe me, you do not want a bunch

of bureaucrats mucking around in a delicate situation,

do you?

Right.

In my opinion, we have a debt owed

to the spirit of this animal to navigate

by our own moral compasses and allow its

mysteries to reveal themselves so that we can

honor it in a manner that the public

sector simply cannot.

Yes, yes.

Then we will be able to shield Elliot

from the consequences of what would seem a

perfectly innocent accident, right?

Yes.

That's the spirit.

Someone doctor saw this mobile laboratory post-haste.

It's secure.

Hey, can I come in?

You're already in.

Right.

Hey.

You missed some good moussaka.

Do you want me to see if there

are any leftovers?

Griff brought me a sandwich, so...

Oh, great.

Well, he loves sandwiches.

Sandwiches are the best.

I'm sorry, did you want something?

No, no, no.

I was just, you know, I wanted to

check in, see how...

Look, I know we haven't talked a lot

since he left for school, but are you

okay?

I don't really know what happened when you

touched that thing, but thankfully I stepped in

and saved the day.

You thought I needed protecting?

Yeah, you didn't see what happened.

You had like a seizure or something.

No, no, it wasn't...

I mean, yes, something happened, but it wasn't

anything bad.

It kind of felt like it was showing

me something.

Forget it.

What?

No, because you're looking at me like I'm

fucking crazy.

No, no, no.

I want to hear, but you're not giving

much.

Okay, well, I tried to tell you earlier

when it was still in the trunk, but

you didn't listen.

It was kind of in the middle of

something, if you hadn't noticed.

That thing and I, we're like connected.

And ever since it died, I just...

I get this feeling I don't think we're

supposed to be here.

Like it was a mistake handing that creature

over to these people.

Okay, I see.

All right, look.

You had a weird experience, and I will

pay for the extra therapy, but I don't

see what we stand to gain by making

this weekend all about you and your special

connection to a magical dead horse.

Ridley?

Riddles?

This game does look great, but...

Look, uh...

Sweetheart, I just need you to trust me.

And that I know how to play this

situation unicorn-wise.

I'm looking out for us.

Okay?

I love you.

Is that

you, Elliot?

I like how you handled things today.

Good job.

Ah, Duncan.

I can see why you've done so well

at the firm.

Uh?

Ah.

But I gotta say, I never would have

guessed what kind of meat you were packing,

buddy.

Oh.

Well, it's...

It's all our meat now.

I suppose.

That it is.

Tell you what, why don't you hop in?

We can chop it up.

Talk about your future.

Oh, no, no, I didn't, um...

I didn't actually pack a bathing suit, so...

Stickler.

I get it.

That's okay.

Grif!

Get Elliot a suit!

Oh, no, really, it's okay.

You sure?

Yeah, he doesn't mind.

Grif!

Forget it!

So tell me, I was wondering, what's her

deal, by the way?

She doesn't really like you, huh?

What?

No.

Why would you say that?

I don't know, because it seems like it.

I mean, no offense meant, El.

Why don't you get in?

We can hop.

Talk about it.

season or something.

I was about done anyhow.

See ya.

The crown

jewel of the Mets medieval collection at the

Cloisters, the unicorn tapestries are among the most

beautiful and complex works to have survived from

the middle ages.

The seven tapestries illustrate a cautionary tale of

a lord and his hunter's pursuit of a

mystical unicorn, which defends itself and proves untamable.

That is, until it is entranced by a

pure-hearted maiden.

The unicorn is pacified by the maiden's virtue.

The creature is then killed and brought to

a castle, where it is resurrected and kept

in captivity.

However, the tapestry depicting the unicorn and the

maiden is incomplete, having been damaged during the

French Revolution.

But this reconstructed restoration tells of a vengeful

and violent beast, its mercilessness and ferocity matched

only by how much it was coveted by

men.

Oh, what are you doing?

What the fuck?

Though comprehensive analysis won't be possible until the

specimen is transported to LeoLab's campus, even with

our limited genomic testing capabilities in the field,

we can say that this is not a

horse.

We've begun analysis of the blood sample's reactivity

with subject 1's facial dermis and subject 2's

sinus cavities, vitreous body and ocular lenses.

Preliminary analysis has revealed some very interesting results.

Are you doing, is there like an augmentation

or is that not a...

We need to talk.

After you left last night, I started doing

research on unicorns, and I think we need

to be careful.

There's tapestries at the museum that mom took

us to.

Do you remember?

Do I?

I don't know.

Can we talk later?

This science stuff's important.

But early indicators indicate that the blood's therapeutic

characteristics may very well relate to the horn

itself.

Oh yeah?

How?

To say would be conjecture.

Conjecture.

Conjecture is good.

We can work with conjecture.

I don't think anyone minds.

It seems to be some sort of organ.

See, somehow it's still firing bioelectrical signals to

depolarize cells throughout the entire nervous system, which

is weird.

Yes, bioelectromagnetic conductivity does seem unusual.

Potentially significant in compound one delta.

Excuse me, hi.

Elliot Kipner, J.D., subject one, or well,

two.

Regardless, made the discovery.

It's good to be working with you.

My question, what's the compound now?

Pulverized horn.

We need to study it.

It's potentially more potent than the blood.

Well, what are we waiting for?

I say we pop that sucker off right

away, grind it up, and get a crack.

Or is that maybe not what the move

is?

For centuries, Caritanios of the Philippines have carried

on a tradition of burying their dead inside

trees.

And the elder is ready, eventually into nature,

to select it themselves.

If this doesn't work, that may be the

last earthly business for me to do.

You know, what doesn't work?

Hormones, sir.

Thank you.

Sir, electromagnetic radiation is still emanating from the

horn, but it's stronger.

How are you feeling, sir?

Oh, I believe it's working.

I do believe.

Of course it is, Abdul, of course.

Oh yeah, no, I bet.

It's working.

Working those tumors real good.

I want to thank you for this gift,

Elliot.

The gift of certainty.

To pass on, to be buried, or in

my case, cryogenically frozen in a subterranean bunker.

But regardless, to do so knowing you have

tried it all, thanks to you, I have.

I do wish I'd go on to space

there.

Yeah, well, not many people have.

Whatever comes of this, you'll receive your royalty,

understand?

Your discovery, your cut.

Perhaps you'll become a partner in all of

this.

Thank you, sir.

I'd be grateful.

I know you would, amigo.

Did I tell you we're on Blackfoot land?

Their people express their...

Their savior's name.

No one needs to hear about that.

Not now, not ever, darling.

Just...

What's going on in here?

I'm researching, I guess.

What kind of researching?

Feedback's a good thing.

Don't be afraid of it.

Right, um, I don't know.

I guess I just kind of figured, you

know, what if people used to think that

unicorns are real because they actually were?

You know, like, were the ones who got

it wrong.

And I feel like if that's the case,

then what people used to have to say

about them is actually a lot more relevant

than what we think now.

Yeah, but this, this is all just bad

faith, archaic, misogynist bullshit.

But some of this actually...

I'll tell you what, why don't we get

you situated properly?

Grif!

Yes?

My large format printer.

I was a real shutterbug for a few

months, a couple years back for it.

Got into archery and that kind of took

over everything.

But why don't you organize your thoughts?

You know, print some of this stuff off

and then we can present our research to

my parents.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Yeah, I guess I could...

It doesn't have to be like a proper

mood board or anything, but I'm a visual

thinker.

Right.

I can't wait to see it, Ridley.

Oh, and, uh,

rest it.

If these protein and tumor markers are accurate,

your cancer seems to be in some sort

of spontaneous remission.

What's that now?

We can't say anything definitive and right now

n only equals one, but there's a chance

this is possibly a...

it could be the...

Cure for cancer?

Are you kidding me?

Cancer?

That's the biggest one!

It's a top three disease, easy.

Are you sure about that?

I mean, you've checked your math and chemistry

and everything.

I just don't want to get our hopes

hurt.

I no longer need hope now.

I feel it.

It's gone out of my body for good.

We've done it.

We found my cure.

Well, we can't say anything right now other

than it's promising.

We might be curing cancer here.

You hear that, Rid?

Doing good.

I can feel every cell in my body

buzzing, vibrating at the universe's frequency.

I've never been so alive!

Oh my god, they're gonna hate us on

the non-profit circuit.

Nice knowing you, am I right?

Let's just slow down for a second.

Now's the time to go fast.

We need to get that creature into HQ

to replicate that compound post-haste.

Well, but we can't.

Excuse me?

We can't reproduce this.

Oh, you gotta say something else.

I'm sorry, he's not gonna like that.

These protein sequences shouldn't exist, not even theoretically.

They'd be impossible to synthesize.

Whatever the cost, I don't care.

Do not touch their samples!

I wasn't.

I was just looking at it.

If you gave us all the time and

all the resources in the world, we couldn't

reproduce this.

Sometimes science can only be humble in the

face of nature.

For years, you've sworn that there's no treatment

for what ails me.

And yet, when I finally kill myself, you

say you can't replicate it?

An opportunity for greatness, for immortality, handed to

you.

And all you can speak of is man's

limitations?

Man has no limitations.

So if you can't recognize the alchemical miracle

on hand, the potential for your legacy and

mine, then we may need a new head

of pharmaceutical fucking research.

I understand you're disappointed.

But you are still cured, so...

Net positive, I'd say.

So this is it?

All we have?

It's like an NFT.

I've told you about that before.

Oh, I understand.

Supply is scarce.

Demand will be high.

I understand.

You've got the devil's guest list handy.

Always.

Let's prioritize anyone who's had a public health

scare.

The worse, the better.

And I'll mix up some drinks.

I'm finally getting to show you how to

mixology, Pop.

Um, sorry.

Can I help with whatever is happening?

Roll up your shirt sleeves, partner.

Oh, great.

I feel great.

Let me tell you about this new tool.

Because we've partied before, and I know what

he's like.

Oh, sorry.

You're right.

I apologize.

Oh, my gosh.

I've never seen so much money before in

my life.

I think this is going to change things

for us.

Finish your prep.

That's bad.

We're getting wheels up.

So my boy says the crown prince and

his cousin are going to want an eight

-ball star.

What?

I mean, three and a half grams.

That's such an oddly specific number.

Yeah, I don't know.

Weird, but that's what it says.

Wait, is this?

What?

Every part of the buffalo.

Wish I had my bitters from home, but

it's an imperfect world.

Come by.

The price of the price.

Now, I won't be pushing around like some

labor leader.

My office will call.

You're right.

This is absolutely delicious.

I haven't had this much fun since we

launched Fen-Fen in 94.

I thought Ethereum was a good investment, which

it was, to be clear.

How are those numbers looking, Al?

I don't know.

I think we made, uh, a lot.

Still plenty of surplus for family reserves.

Fuck yes.

We're going to live forever.

But we can't take it.

It's because I've been doing some research.

Well, since she was rising.

So, the thing is, unicorns used to be

seen differently, all right?

Hundreds and thousands of years ago, they were

seen as, like, these divine monsters, but they

were impossible to catch, except everyone totally tried

because, you know, since forever, people fully believe

that they could heal literally anything.

Uh, yeah.

Welcome to, like, 10 minutes ago.

Yeah, I know, which made me want to

check this research again because it's right.

And dad, do you remember when mom took

us to see these tapestries?

No, no, I don't remember.

Yes, yes, yes, you do.

What?

The Cloisters, remember?

I don't, I'm sorry.

It was her favorite museum when she was

little.

She took us, like, a month after her

diagnosis, and it...

What does that have to do with anything?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Where are we going with this?

I have to admit, I'm a bit lost

in the woods on this one, too.

Just, you just have to look at these

tapestries, okay?

They're from the Middle Ages.

They're literally famous, and they tell this whole

story, one that reoccurs over and over.

And, you know, people always thought that they

were a metaphor for Christ and man's inherent

corruption, which actually makes sense in historical context,

considering the church was commissioning art making as

a way to enforce obedience.

But that doesn't matter.

What matters is, I don't think that we're

supposed to have this.

Okay, because if unicorns are real, which we

know that they are, then these stories might

be, too.

And you expect us to alter course and

invest in a theory based on this?

Yeah, this has no flow, okay?

I told you to make a mood board,

not a shit board.

I don't get it.

What would you have us do?

Leave it outside to rot?

Yes.

No one is suggesting that.

It's coming with us, sweetheart.

It's going to help a lot of people.

Well, not a lot of people, but good

people.

Our people.

I am telling you right now, we can't.

Bad things will happen.

I can feel it.

Doesn't that count for anything?

No.

The arrogance to claim to know such things

that are unknowable.

Does she represent your family's interest in this

venture?

I don't know what she's talking about.

I don't, I don't.

I mean, she doesn't know what she's talking

about, right?

I know that you are standing up for

your principles.

And I am proud of you for it.

We don't need to perform for each other

here and now.

Do we?

We've got time for bubbles before we hit

the airport, right?

I want this to be reborn.

To change the plans.

And here's hoping we kill Bigfoot on the

way home, huh?

It's just me.

Careful, Dr. Song.

That's your responsibility in transport.

I've said he's on the move.

I've said he's on the move.

But he can't.

Why don't you go have a look-see?

Oh, right.

Oh, right.

Hello?

Hey.

Hey.

What happened?

No!

Bring it to him, suck-nosed!

I'll just get out of your way.

Bigfoot!

Three, run inside, okay?

I'm doing this, right now.

One.

No.

Two.

Let's, uh, let's do your thing.

What is your thing?

Has anyone seen the butt spray?

Okay, so, before Dr. Solomon, uh, before

what happened, the electromagnetic detector went off, and

then he saw it, and he looked at

me, and, you know.

I think this has deed in it.

If you know the Marseille Warriors, hunt lions

with only a spear.

Remarkable rite of passage.

Reminds you of man's innate capacity, don't you

think?

Personally, I've only done it with an automatic

assault rifle.

Well, unlike this model.

Oh, so you've, like, killed lions?

Oh, I certainly have, Palmer.

Lions, elephants, great apes.

Gosh, wow.

Hey, you know, regarding that whole partner thing,

it might be great to formalize some of

that, you know, just in case, when we're

back.

I'll get you fresh beads, sir.

Dad.

Do us a favor.

I don't care if that thing is dead

out there.

You can't go with them.

We can't be a part of this anymore.

Well, I have to keep our stake, you

know, stake down.

You were right.

They're not great people, but I want to

hang along with them.

I want to haul this corpse in, and

then you and I, you know, will finally

be set.

If you go out there, I'm leaving.

This is a good thing.

What if mom was able to get something

like this?

They wouldn't even let her get married.

Can you please, please just listen and not

go?

Can you please stay with me?

Elliot, it's time to collect our spoils.

It won't be all great.

You'll thank me for this someday.

She's guided, but at least she's got some

intellectual rigor about her.

Tough loss.

Cuts deep, I bet.

Yeah.

But doesn't it feel like it's kind of

how we might have wanted to go, you

know?

Not really, no.

But isn't it?

I mean, you know, in pursuit of science,

I mean, so he's gone.

What do we do now?

Do we sulk?

Lament?

Be weak?

I don't think that's what I'm doing.

Or do we keep pushing, huh?

Keep pushing the science and maintain his intellectual

rigor?

Can you put that down?

Honor his life's work.

Or maybe he's not worth remembering?

Of course he is.

Exactly.

And that's why I think you need to

get back in there.

Get back to work.

Make him proud and saw the horn off

that fucking pony.

What do you say?

Oh, I thought we were talking like a

commemorative plaque or something.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

There's no time for that.

Horn first, then plaque.

Right?

Sorry.

Just a little bit.

For science.

Wait.

The unicorn is killed.

And it's resurrected.

It's resurrected.

Oh, shit.

Say any excuses about him.

It's not an excuse.

Okay, we tried.

But the horn, the organ, whatever it is,

it seems to be signaling for, I mean,

cellular swelling, mitochondrial dysfunction, all typical signs of

post-mortem decay and decomposition.

And I'm not just saying, reversing.

Hold the phone, Ponce de Leon.

You're saying it won't stay dead?

Maybe.

Yeah, I want that horn in my hand.

Oh, my God.

Do you have a way to get in

contact with them somehow?

Because I think that these things might be

able to heal themselves.

That means my dad, Odell, Shaw, they all

they just need to get back here now.

Okay, um...

Let me throw

you down, all right?

Fuck.

We've got to go right now.

Go.

What do the arrows mean?

Contact!

Alert.

Thank you.

Did you kill them?

Did I kill them?

Fucking unskilled labor.

Okay, then.

Just us.

Aren't you the most magnificent thing?

You like me, don't you?

That's it, amigo.

Just a little bit.

Now you can show me your secrets.

Give me

the horn.

No, no, no.

Put that back.

My dad died for that thing.

Hank, you cannot go outside.

I almost got killed out there.

This is how we stop people from getting

killed.

We need to give their baby back.

Everyone needs to calm down.

Oh, I need to take control of this

situation.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Oh, don't do it.

Probably hire me to look after you and

I call the police.

Relax.

My dad only brought you on to be

the last line of plausible deniability.

This really isn't the best use of time.

Fine, do it.

Make the call.

Just give me a minute.

Well, you know so much.

Do they ever catch these things in your

draperies?

No, I mean, yeah, but the floor...

Wait, they're doing something by the electrical equipment.

I see it.

Hello?

Hello?

Officer?

Oh, thank God.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Wait, what happened?

What happened?

Solar booster uses house power.

What the fuck was that?

I'm trying to grieve him there.

Do you think there's enough time to trace

the call?

How's tracing work?

Forget that.

I'm taking this out.

I'm giving your child back.

The gate.

The gate is electric.

There's no point in us giving it back

if we're just going to be trapped out

there with those things that killed...

God damn it, Odie!

Someone has to access the gate's motor housing

in order to manually open it, Mom.

So unfortunately, until we do that, no one

is driving out of here.

Then we draw straws.

You're not drawing anything.

It's only fair.

Well, protective parenting aside, is chance really the

best way to decide anything?

Generally not very scientific, no.

Exactly.

No, no.

First, we must ask ourselves, who is most

familiar with the gate?

That's right.

That's right, because that'd be the person who

has the greatest chance of succeeding, right?

Yes.

Hang on a minute.

You can't just volunteer me to go out

there.

Years of service, and we have never asked

anything of you except this.

Well, that's not true.

And even if it were, we could vote

on it.

I vote for Griff.

Seconded.

I vote for not Griff.

Thank you.

As do I.

It's been sweet of you.

You're not even trying on yet.

So?

You know, it's not particularly complicated.

It's not like I'm the fucking gate guy.

Although in this instance, it kind of seems

like you are though, right?

Everything I've done for your family, and this

is my severance?

I have kids.

You do?

Oh, you do.

I knew that.

You are the most familiar with it.

This isn't okay.

We voted, Griffin.

Democracy wins.

You get the gate, we get the car.

Now, we'll take the dead one out.

Can you give me a hand?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

You did what you had to do.

I get it.

You and me, we prioritize the same thing,

you know?

Our careers.

Our families.

That's right.

That's who the career benefits.

Sure.

All I'm saying is, we have to take

care of our own.

Because if you plan on them doing it

for you...

All right.

Chop-chop.

Time to go.

Good luck out there.

Yeah.

Very helpful.

Thank you.

You should be okay once you see the

baby.

He's in the tunnel!

We'll drive down and get you as soon

as the gate's open, okay?

You're going to do great.

All right, let's go.

Which car are we going for?

How am I supposed to know?

Here's the keys.

That way.

Sweetheart, I'll be back for you.

I promise.

Hey, come on.

Ridley!

Come on!

Hey!

We gotta go!

Wait, where's Shep?

Seriously?

Just wait!

Shepard!

What the heck?

I hope this makes things cool.

I really don't understand.

This is what they wanted.

There's no negotiating with monsters.

Where'd they go?

Hey!

Coast is clear!

Let's go!

I'm sorry, I thought I understood.

We're not going to defeat them in the

marketplace of ideas.

Which is why I did the work.

I figured out their weakness.

You're all very welcome.

Are you going to share?

How's Ridley?

I revisited my research.

And a recurrent trope in the medieval discourse,

as it were, happens to be that unicorns,

historically speaking, can only be trapped by one

thing.

And I think Ridley here knows what that

is.

A pure-hearted maiden.

Wait, I'm sorry.

What are you saying?

I don't know how you come up with

these ideas, Shepie.

Research!

That's how I get my ideas.

He's right.

He's right.

It's my fault.

I misunderstood.

Oh, honey, no.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

How do you get it?

What do they want?

We're running out of time.

All right?

You need to listen to logic.

You need to listen to reason.

That is the only way we're making out

of this alive.

Are you snorting that shit?

And if we're serious about...

Yes, yes I am.

Serious about surviving this thing, then we have

to be prepared to use her as bait.

You understand?

But you were on the wagon.

I thought you were doing so well.

I am doing well.

Melinda.

Ah, Elliot, there you are.

Tell her to get ready to make herself

useful.

She might have to assume a position or

something.

No, sorry, she doesn't work for you.

Not directly.

No, actually, you know what?

I'm afraid the time has come for me

to tender my resignation.

In our family's hour of need, you call

yourself an attorney.

Do your vows mean nothing?

Best of luck in your continued survival.

You're coming for us?

Okay, we're getting out of here.

Are you vaping?

Do you vape?

Shut up, please.

We underestimated it.

More than I ever could have possibly imagined.

I feel it in my mind.

Sanctifying me.

No, no, no, no, no.

Baby, I gotta go.

I gotta go.

I know what we have to do.

All right, no matter what happens, don't stop

running till you get to the car.

We'll ram the gate, okay?

Let's not make this any more hectic.

Let go of me!

Oh, no.

Jeffrey, come on.

Oh man, Griff did find my bow.

Now I feel bad.

Listen, if this is the end, baby...

I need to think.

Okay.

Maybe if I filed off a little bit

more of this one.

Wait.

Your dad's oxygen.

Can we blow it up with this?

Isn't that a thing?

Yes, pressurized oxygen is flammable, and if it

combusts, then it'll explode, but that's fine.

How do you know that?

You don't know that.

You don't get it, Mom.

This is inside my brain.

It's firing my shit up.

I'm a genius now, okay?

That'll destroy our golden goose.

We don't need to do that.

Because I want a goose farm.

So, we'll come to her, and then we'll

open this, and then we'll pet them in,

and we force them to breed, then they'll

be ours.

What the shit is this shit?

Oh.

I didn't know they would do this to

me.

I think I made a mistake.

What the fuck were you thinking?

I don't know.

I was afraid we'd get nothing.

How could you do that to us?

Because I promised her.

I sat in that hospital room, and I

swore to her that I would do whatever

I had to to take care of you,

to make sure that you didn't want for

anything.

And that's on me.

Every decision.

Every day.

But I failed you both.

And you don't seem to need the things

I thought I was giving you, so...

Actually, maybe they were just for me after

all.

Either way, I...

I'm the one you're stuck with.

My sweet, darling boy.

Just...

Despite everything...

Do you hear that?

I think it's in the kitchen.

I think it might be leaving.

Fuck!

I saw

it.

Dad, no, please!

Wait, Dad!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

I didn't think you'd take that many lessons

with this thing.

Come on.

I don't think you want to do this.

You don't know that.

Face the front.

You don't know anything.

This is my destiny.

Stay right there.

Don't move.

I'm a businessman now, Dad.

Okay.

Okay, you've proved everyone wrong.

Now can you please, please just let me

go?

Shut up.

Please!

Dad?

Dad?

Future's ours now, Elliot.

50-50.

You earned this.

Huh?

Good job, partner.

I knew you had potential.

We'll finish tying these things up, get them

locked away, and then you can stop bursting

Monday.

There's so much to do, but they're ours

now, Elliot.

We'll own them forever.

What are you thinking?

I don't know how to get out.

I didn't really plan it out.

We need to get you out.

Please, please, please.

Alex, come on.

We need to get you out.

I don't know what you're thinking.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I need the horn.

I need the flash.

Oh, fuck.

We need to get you out.

It's okay.

It's not okay.

You're bleeding out.

Hey, tell me.

Tell me, please.

What did they show you?

I don't know.

I was standing in the road with you,

and I was swept up in some kind

of current.

It was like a river, and it was

taking me somewhere.

And even though I didn't know what I

would find when I got there, I wasn't

afraid.

Because I had this sense.

I had this feeling in the dark that

they were showing me where they came from.

But not just them.

Us, too.

I think it's where we've always been heading

back to.

Where part of mom was already bleeding.

Don't worry about what we didn't figure out

while we were here.

I don't know how I was there for

very long.

I hope you're all right.

I'm here.

I'll be there.

I'm waiting.

I'm

here.

I'm here.

It's not just this way.

Real bloodbath affiliate, World Ranch Chief.

Bringing survivors in for statements, but I got

a feeling you're not going to believe them.

Roger that.

You two better have a good lawyer.

I know this weekend didn't

go how you wanted it to at all.

But whatever they take us, we're going to

be okay.

I saw it, too.

I saw it, too.
