Look at all the flowers.

Are you out of your mind, Nick?

Sorry. I swear, if you do that again, I will leave you in the goddamn ocean. I

shit you not. I thought I heard something.

What? What could you hear? I don't know.

Something bumping the hull.

Yeah, well, you almost got yourself killed.

You almost got Travis killed.

We're still trying to help people, aren't we?

Yes.

People that we can see.

Maddie.

Look how in the logbook to that boat.

We got a problem.

San Diego's dead.

Oh, Beth.

It's gone.

What? Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean, gone? It's burned. Military burned

down.

According to this, the Leanne just came from the south, right there.

Wait a minute. I thought you said San Diego was safe. I wouldn't take this as

gospel.

Did they even try to dock? Did they go ashore? How did they know?

The logs are clear.

The last entry was yesterday. What is there to doubt?

If we're going to San Diego, we need to know what's there.

Right now, I'm trying to focus on what's about to be here.

And what kind of weapon would you suppose be big enough to sink that boat?

50 caliber machine gun. Military grade.

The kind of weapon that could only be mounted on a larger vessel.

Larger vessel.

You're sure it's following us?

I have zigged and I have zagged. The course corrects every time. It could be

them. It could be Alicia's radio crest for all we know, which is why we don't

talk to strangers.

Whoever it is, we're not losing it.

And it's faster. Fine. Where do we go? What do we do now?

We hide.

We'll lose them on the radar if we stick to the coast.

This one has a cove.

Sure. So does this one. Just as deep.

And this is a wildlife refuge.

There'll be a ranger station there. Which will probably be abandoned. Sure,

a ranger station's gonna have shortwave radio supplies.

We can gather information.

Then that's where we go

Great

Hey,

you're gonna answer

Get away from what's out there.

Got your breath.

Looks like a good place.

We'll be safer.

How do you know?

When he's gone, we're gone.

Ophelia and I will keep you company.

Solitude doesn't bother me. We insist.

Someone's home.

throw their doors open. I was scared.

You'd be scared too.

See anything?

What are you doing?

We know you're in there.

We know you're scared.

We are too.

We just need information.

We're not a threat.

We're not sick.

We're just... We need help.

Get back here.

Sorry, he's excited to see people.

It's been a while.

We just saw your light come on. We were on the water.

That was an accident.

Travis.

Travis Manawa.

George Good.

What can I do for you, Travis Manawa?

We had to drop anchor.

It's no safer on sea than on land.

What makes you think here is safe?

We just need to get our bearings and we'll be gone.

You have nothing to fear from us.

You're welcome to take something.

Thanks.

Got a stack of books by my bed. Try to get through one a week.

I always felt what I know.

Can't imagine having time for it now.

You got nothing but time, man.

Take it.

Nobody's writing any new ones for a while.

You folks are from Los Angeles. You got that air about you.

We left when they started bombing.

Napalm.

It's what they're using up and down the coast.

I've been checking in with some of the other ranger stations.

In every city?

As far as I can tell.

Portland.

Seattle? Vancouver?

South.

San Diego was burned.

Further south.

They shut down the border.

No way in or out.

So what's left?

Not a hell of a lot.

Interior's no better than the coast.

Last time I connected the Joshua Tree, Ranger said... Petrified forest?

Gone.

JT shut down soon after.

That's Cali. It's Arizona.

Zion went dark before them?

Utah gone.

Rocky Mountain Station's dead.

That's Colorado.

That's the Continental Divide.

That's a good goddamn half the country.

Did you work?

Uh, yeah.

I was a high school guidance counselor.

Really? I have my MFW.

I worked with a lot of kids out at LA Unified.

Did you?

Yeah. Had a whole other life before George.

Whole other life.

Did you like it?

Your work?

Yeah. I loved it.

Did you ever find it hard, though, looking after other people's kids when

had your own to worry about?

It could be hard, but kids are funny.

You know, I mean, each one needs something different.

Even if I felt I didn't have anything left to give, I'd find it.

So was it always the high school level? Did you ever work with younger kids?

No.

Never had the chance.

It wasn't because you didn't like little kids, though, huh?

No.

No, I had two of my own.

I liked them better when they were little.

Mom?

This is my eldest, Seth.

Seth, this is Madison.

Hi.

You good, Mom?

Yeah.

We're just having a chat.

So nice to have a visitor.

How are you?

I'm good.

Where's Dad?

Um, he's in the study with her husband.

All right.

I'll be back in a little while.

Will we stay?

This is only temporary.

We have no place to go. Why don't we just stay here?

We would have to be invited.

We really?

Yes. That's very polite of us.

Did you take your antibiotics?

Yes.

I'm starting to understand this world better.

After all your mother and I did, try to protect you from a certain life. This is

not the world that you were supposed to know. It's okay.

It's good.

Understanding this world, it helps me understand you.

It's cool.

You're doing it wrong.

You have to go like this to jump, and then that to roll. All right, okay,

okay.

Ashes, ashes, and we all fall down.

What are posies?

Posies are flowers.

Why do you put them in your pocket?

A long time ago, across the ocean in Europe, there was a virus that made a

lot of people really sick. And they didn't have the medicine we do now, so

gave them flowers to make them healthy.

Did it work?

No. Nick, you want to come see our room?

Yeah, let's do it.

Hey, man, you want to come check out Harry's room?

I'm good.

Look, you don't have to talk or anything, but it is better to be with

It's okay.

Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Cool. This is your room?

Yeah.

Wow.

And who are these guys?

These are campers, neighbors, the Colbys, and Uncle Kyle.

What happened to them? What's this?

It's what has to happen. when people get sick.

Yeah.

Hey, that won't happen to you.

I know, because I have power pills!

I don't know what that is.

It's like a vitamin. If I take it, my family stays together.

So which one's your favorite?

The General.

He has a gun, too.

You just have to put it on him.

Right? What the hell is taking them so long?

You got somewhere you gotta go.

I don't like sitting on my behind. Target practice on a $10 million boat.

Your $10 million boat.

What? You said eight $10 million boats, like this boat is not yours.

It's mine.

Don't you worry.

Not worried.

I'm curious, though.

Who are you planning on leaving behind?

I bring you to my house, take you on my boat. Where's the trust, Diego?

Why would I leave behind those that I brought with me?

Resources.

You only have so much.

You didn't plan on so many.

We'll define.

We have water.

And you're one hell of a fisherman.

They aren't infected, Travis.

We are.

We're the weeds Mother Nature is pulling.

What's happening is not natural, man. Well, it couldn't be more natural.

The world couldn't sustain itself, so it stood back and said, enough.

This is its course correction.

Nature always wins.

Yeah, exactly.

And I'm not telling you anything new.

You people get this better than anyone.

Excuse me?

You're Maori, aren't you?

Yeah, but not many people guess.

I'm an amateur anthropologist.

I'm amateur, a lot of shit.

But I've been a student of your culture since I was young.

I went to New Zealand on an exchange. You been?

Uh, we brought my grandma back there when she died. I was just a kid.

See, that's incredible to me.

The commitment to keeping family on tribal ground so that every life cycle

begins and ends on the same sacred earth.

That's beautiful, man.

And it's right.

Yeah, that's why I raised my family out here.

And that's why we'll stay.

So, you're good if we dock for the night? We should be gone by tomorrow.

Yeah, of course.

I feel lucky.

How so?

We had no idea what kind of hell might come off that boat.

We found new friends.

How bad?

What we thought.

San Diego, the whole West Coast, dead.

I can't believe it.

George thinks it's all part of nature's grand plan.

Yeah, he's intense.

You have no idea.

Melissa was grilling me about my job like it was an interview.

Maybe she's curious about the outside world.

They never go to the mainland.

Never? Yeah.

He told you that?

He believes a man's connection with his land.

She turned the light on on purpose.

George said it was an accident. She knew what she was doing.

Think she wants to get off the island?

Yeah, and if he doesn't, maybe she's scared to say so.

Want to know what the most underrated perk of the apocalypse is?

Yeah.

No planes.

No noise pollution. No smog.

Just stars.

Yep, well, we definitely stopped the climate crisis.

Awesome.

Why are you up?

Why are you up?

I don't know. I drink too much wine.

My mind's everything.

Come on with your excuse.

These kids, man.

They have seen more than their share, you know?

Like, what they're living in now and what they're gonna live in. Like,

don't know. Things are never just gonna be normal for them, you know?

It's not fair.

At least they're prepared.

Yeah, they're prepared like it's the end times.

Isn't it?

No, Alicia, it's not the rapture.

Something is off here.

Everything's off.

Hey, where are you going?

I got chores.

You can help if you want to.

What are we doing?

Maintenance.

Where are they coming from?

Mainland. Ship's gone down between us and the coast.

The current dropped them up here.

My dad says it's a tidal anomaly.

Gunfire brings more, so we have to work quietly.

How many are there?

Two ones every day.

It's a pain in the ass.

You want a turn?

Hey,

you seen Chris?

No.

You kind of got far, though, right?

He didn't go that way. He's on the boat.

We're on land.

I looked over the boat.

Then he's on shore. You want me to help you find him?

No. I'll go.

Okay.

Hey, Travis, I can't help if you want, though. I know at -risk youth.

I am at -risk youth.

That's good.

Temple, socket, face the skull up the backs to you.

How'd you learn this?

My dad.

How to kill, how to survive in the most conditions.

Been preparing for this kind of thing forever.

Looks like a survivalist?

Nah, he's just self -reliant.

Deliberate living, you know?

There it is!

Good job!

Yeah!

That's that.

Come back after lunch again before dinner.

Hey, can they climb?

Haven't seen that yet.

They're pretty clumsy.

Hey, there's one more.

We'll get it later.

No, I got it.

Bring the axe back when you're done.

Have fun.

Sun's a natural, sir.

Chris.

Chris. What are you doing?

Being of use.

Come to the boat, huh?

Yeah, I will.

Come on, please. In a minute.

Chris.

Chris!

There.

Done.

Morning, neighbor.

Hey, you got a problem down on the fence line.

Near the water.

Yeah, they wash up there sometimes.

Seth manages it.

I saw him. My son was with him.

Helping him.

We can't let him press the fence.

We go out once a week and clear out the bodies.

You okay?

He had a pickaxe. He was swinging it like... My son used to

mow the lawn, take out the garbage, you know? Tidied his room, cleared the

dishes. That's... This is... This

is how we manage now.

For as long as we can.

That's how it is.

Take a ride with me.

Come on.

There's infected over there?

Yeah.

Weekenders who got caught in the island when the ferries went down.

I figure there's a couple of hundred.

The ones who wash up on the beach we can manage.

But if they get a whiff of us, that could be a problem.

Hold that.

Why would you stay here?

This is it.

We all die.

It's a question of surrender or survival, acceptance or denial.

I choose survival.

Yeah, you think everything's going to be okay?

Look, you saw the map.

That's our truth.

It's not right or wrong, good or bad.

It just is.

How can you just give up?

I'm not giving up I'm mending the fence

And every kiss is a goodbye.

Every kiss is a goodbye.

Well, where is everybody?

Come draw with me.

Oh, I can't draw.

No, no, no. Draw.

All right. Come on. Come on.

What should we draw?

You hover over me like the specter of death, Daniel.

Maybe I am.

Oh, you got John Angel?

Our friend is gone.

We sail with the tide.

That's not necessary.

At least I can do.

You sleep okay?

Nope. You?

No.

Did you get everything you wanted, all the information you needed?

We know where not to go now.

We should be leaving soon.

It's a short trip.

Melissa, the light, the light you turned on last night, was that an

accident?

Well, that was just a mistake.

Stupid habit.

Once is a mistake.

Twice.

Why are you signaling us?

I saw you from the pier last night.

I watched you on the deck with the binoculars.

And I saw you.

I had this strange sense of hope, you know, like maybe Will and Harry would

a chance.

The kind of chance they're not going to have if they stay here.

When I saw you come to shore, I turned on the light.

I thought you said the island was safe.

No, we're just biding our time.

Biding our time till it's over.

Come with us.

I can't.

I'm not well.

I have MS.

It's... I'm not going to die tomorrow, but it's not a weight you need. It's not

a weight my children need. Well, what about George?

If we could take all of you, wouldn't he agree? George is not going to leave

this place.

He thinks it's better to die with family than to die with strangers.

It's not the same way.

You want us to take Harry and Willa?

She's sick. She can't leave. She's convinced if they stay here, they all

They have supplies.

Water, food.

They even have power. And they have infected.

All along their fence, others at the marina. How long till they make their

up there? It's not secure.

Yeah, I know. I talked to George.

They've got strong opinions, but all the man cares about is keeping his family

safe. That's all I care about.

They're just biding time until it all goes bad.

Who's to say we're not biding time out there?

Where we land next could be safer what we find could save us all of us. We

know well I can't take the man's kitchen because she says so then don't do it

because she said so do because I'm asking you to You're not taking them

Travis you're saving them We

can't keep leaving people behind

Let me talk to George.

Okay, let me talk to him.

It's me.

Yes, it's all clear now What's the latest you can push it

Sundown

I'll be there

What's wrong?

I think this asshole's planning on Jonestowning his whole family.

What?

I found pills in his office. I think it's poison.

Well, how do you know? I know my pharmaceuticals.

And I know pillheads. Those people are not that.

And those pills are not recreational.

They'll be right down.

Do they understand?

I told them they were going on a boat ride.

They'll be back in a couple of days. I think they're excited about it.

We'll take care of them, I promise you. We'll keep them safe.

So this is Harry.

He gets scared at night. He pretends not to, but...

but he ends up crawling in the sister's bed.

We've been trying to discourage him from that, but I think it's okay, you know?

If he does that, it's okay.

And, um, Willa, her hair, she has this hair. She'll cry if you comb it, so just

wait till you shampoo and put conditioner in it, and it'll be a lot

What's going on?

It's George.

What is this?

Melissa?

George.

Why? Why?

Listen to me.

I love you.

I love our family.

But we have to give them a chance.

I can't look at them every day and see nothing for them. I just can't. Mama?

George.

What? Sadie, what's wrong?

What? Tell me. Tell Mommy. It's okay. Tell me what's wrong.

Something's wrong with Willa.

Stay here.

Don't move, Harry. Stay right there.

Willa.

Willa.

Willa.

Willa, what?

Baby.

What happened, buddy?

He took her pill.

No. Willa. Melissa.

No.

No, you can't hold her. It's not safe to hold her. Let me see you.

Nice.

Get Harry away from this.

Take him out.

Come with us. No. I can't. I'm not going to.

Go.

This is what they want. They want to take care of you.

What happened to Willa?

She got sick, all right?

Come on, let's go inside.

Madison, what have you done now?

We're taking him with us. We have room. Put him back where you found him. We

have room.

We do not.

Children are the definition of dead weight. You're not doing this again. You

don't decide who lives and who dies. That's exactly what I get to do. There's

debate. We're doing this. Now move the goddamn boat.

Harry, come here. I'm taking you home. No, no.

Look, there's no home anymore.

Shut up. You don't know what's back? Shut up!

Listen to me. I know it's there.

It's our home.

And it's still our home. Your dad doesn't want this anymore.

He told us to take care. My father told me what he wants.

He taught me.

Well, he changed his mind.

I don't believe you.

Come with us, then.

Please.

Daniel, don't.

I can get at least one of you guys.

Maybe more.

Is that what you want?

Just let us go home.

Let us go.

Harry, come here.

Come on.

Do something.

Kid has a rifle.

She'll wave goodbye to the nice people, okay?

All right, just keep waving.
