...used to stand here all day,

just hoping for a glimpse of Elvis.

But today, we get to go inside and see how the king lived.

In 1957, a 22-year-old Elvis Presley

gave his parents $100,000

and charged them with finding a farmhouse-like property

with enough space around it to ensure his privacy.

Three months later, Elvis's parents found Graceland.

♪ To a bright summer day ♪

♪ When I kissed you and called you... ♪

Welcome to the iconic Jungle Room.

Hey, did you hear the news that a bus full of Elvis impersonators

actually crashed on their way to an Elvis convention?

♪ Shall I come back again? ♪

He'd sometimes spend weeks on end here in the TV room.

Elvis also spent a lot of time in his bedroom upstairs.

But unfortunately, there are still areas of the house

that are off-limits except to family.

So, unless you're Priscilla in disguise...

- You get my Pringles? - Yeah, I got 'em.

Hmm. They change anything on the tour?

They changed the Jungle Room joke.

Here, take 'em with food, please.

Oh.

You. I asked for sour cream and onion.

Yeah, well, I like salt and vinegar.

Guess you do.

Need anything else?

Annie, what was the new joke, huh?

A group of Elvis impersonators crashed.

- Mm-hmm. - They were all shook up.

I'll see you later. Don't forget your pills.

Mom, I'm back.

Mom?

Are you awake?

Mom?

Mom!

She was the first in her family to step foot outside the county,

attending the University of Tennessee, and later, Duke Medical School.

Sadly, her mental health caused her to retreat

from her once-promising path...

Um, just, um...

patient's had a persistent cough since April.

Um, no history of, um, smoking or any lung issues.

Patient's likely, um...

I think I'd-- I'd r-recommend

that he, um...

Oh, I see here that the patient is on ACE inhibitors

for hypertension, which can cause a dry cough.

Let's talk to your team about switching meds.

That's right.

Annie, why don't you take the next one?

Okay.

- Hello. - Hi.

Uh, my name is Annie Clay.

I'm a third-year medical student working with Dr. Talcott today.

- Okay. - What seems to be the problem?

Yeah, I have this intense pain in my lower leg,

uh, like a cramp, but much, much worse.

Is this due to any trauma, like a physical injury?

- Do you mind if I-- - No. Yeah. Oh.

Um, no, I, uh, uh, was at work,

and, um, I was sitting at my desk, and all of a sudden, it just...

- Yeah. - Um...

Uh, I...

I'm gonna recommend, um...

It-- I-- w-we should get you tested for deep vein thrombosis.

It's, um, if-- you might be at risk

if you're sedentary for long periods of time.

And, um...

we could get you an ultrasound and put you on...

Annie? Annie!

- Someone get a gurney. - ...anticoagulants.

Pinch your breath. Lie down.

- I'm okay, I'm okay. - Okay.

Excuse me?

Hello?

Ma'am? Excuse me?

Sorry, but, uh, we not having any more visitors today.

Okay... Okay.

I'm Gayle Edwards. I'm Graceland Security.

You can't park here.

Okay. Okay.

- You okay, kid? - No, I'm not.

No, I, uh...

I just dropped out of medical school.

I have no family and no job,

and I don't know what I'm gonna do, and I don't even know why I'm here.

I just drove here, and I...

I will move my car.

You know what?

The old-ass tour guides here keep droppin' dead.

You know anything about Elvis?

Too much.

Why?

Alright, welcome.

In 1957, Elvis Presley gave his parents $100,000

to find him a farmhouse-like property

with enough space around it to ensure his privacy.

To protect the privacy of his home,

Elvis installed a security wall as well as a two-way mirror

at the top of his stairs so he could see who was in his house.

To this day, the upper levels remain off-limits.

And did you hear about the bus of Elvis impersonators

that actually crashed on its way to an Elvis convention?

No? Well, luckily, no one was injured,

but we did hear they were all shook up.

Alright.

We're not gonna get in trouble?

No, no, nobody knows.

Isn't it beautiful?

Wow.

It's like my Graceland paradise.

You know, I bet we could see parts of the river from here.

- For real? - Mm-hmm. Let me adjust the latitude.

Oh, yep, there. And parts of Arkansas.

Look.

Wow. How'd you get so smart, kid?

Man!

Hi, guys.

You're my favorite, but don't tell any of them.

That's between you and me, okay?

Oh!

Regardless of whose home Graceland actually was,

it's the place that Elvis Presley felt the safest in the world.

Annie!

What is going on? Ev-- Why--

- Have you seen the news? - No.

...three hours ago,

what scientists are calling a massive mega caldera,

- or super volcano... - I said we're leaving.

I don't give a fuck about getting a refund.

No, I know. You're right, I'm sorry.

[in video] What is that?

Oh, my God! Get away from the edge!

Get away from the edge! Get away from the edge!

...I would say we played a fucking role...

...America, I know you're aware of the situation we now face...

Gayle, look at me. You need to go across the street

to the visitor center and get everything you can.

Clothing, candles, food that doesn't need to be refrigerated.

- Whatever you can carry. - Okay, are you serious right now?

- Yes! - I mean, where am I supposed

- to put all that? - The basement, the TV room.

- Okay. Okay, okay. Move, move, move! - Go. Go, go, go.

You're not thinking about this correctly.

- It's not a wave... - I'm telling you this

so that you can make decisions based on where you wanna be right now

and who you wanna be with.

This position that I have held, I didn't always want it.

Most certainly didn't always like it.

But it has-- it's provided me access

to people all over this country.

And one thing has constantly struck me as true.

That despite all the ugliness in our world...

despite our tendency to focus on the grotesque...

and the conflict, despite all of that...

you... you are inherently decent.

Oh, Jesus!

Okay, I got a shit ton of stuff from the restaurant.

- Can you help me unload the cart? - Take that.

- Uh, okay. - Okay. I'll go get everything.

Ooh.

- Careful, careful. - Ooh, this is killing my back.

Okay. You can do this, Gayle.

Oh!

Ahh!

Oh, shit! Oh, God.

Oh, you guys. I'm so sorry,

but it's not safe here for you anymore.

Go. Go.

Go!

Annie.

Holy shit.

We don't have much time.

If you are in a metropolitan area,

get to a fallout shelter or [distorted] underground as you can.

Oh, my God, come on.

Gayle!

Gayle!

Ah! [wincing] Mm!

Ooh. Mm-mm.

How's the-- how's the leg this morning?

- Not good. - 'Kay, scale of one to 10,

- how's the pain? - Seventy-four.

Alright, I'll check it.

Let me see.

So, even though I reset the bone, we need to...

Yeah, I'm concerned about the infection.

We need to keep the wound and the stitches clean.

Why are the batteries still not working?

I don't know.

You supposed to be the smart one.

I'm the hot one. Oh!

Breathe. Take a deep breath.

I'm the hot one. You're the smart one.

We should go up on the roof.

- Mm. - See what's happening.

- No, we can't expose ourselves. - No.

I'm pretty sure, had there been a nuclear explosion,

we would've heard it.

Oh!

Bomb?

No, I don't think so.

I think it's a chemical plant.

You know, if you just leave 'em sitting there, they...

- Boom. - Yeah.

Mm.

Hi.

- How you feeling? - Oh.

I've been better, kid.

Let me help you.

- There you go. - Thank you.

Oh.

Hey, it-- it looks a lot worse than it is.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

Trust me, it just-- it just needs some time.

Mm.

You know, I've, um,

I went searching through the house and I found something

that I think might cheer you up.

I don't know if you're ready.

Oh!

Are you lookin' at me?

You be lookin' at me?

What? You did him so corny.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[whispering] Fuck.

Can I ask you a question?

Mm-hmm.

If it's summer, why is it fucking freezing?

Looks like the ash cloud's blotting out the sun.

For how long?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Annie?

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.

We have-- have to build a fire.

We can't. The smoke will draw too much attention.

There are no more of his fur coats or capes for us to wear.

Don't waste that stuff on me.

You think I'm trying to keep you warm?

This is for both of us.

It's gonna be okay.

Annie.

- Hm? - Annie.

Yeah?

I think what you did worked.

I'm-- I'm not cold anymore.

You did it.

You saved me.

How'd you get so smart, kid?

My mom was the smart one.

She's... she's watching you.

And she's so proud of you.

You're doing so good, Gayle. You're doing so good.

You're so beautiful.

Shit.

Open can of beans, fresh. Someone's here.

Dining room's clear.

A lot of rooms back here.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

This room's clear too!

Looks like they jumped out the balcony.

Not here either.

No!

I'm not alone! There's others here.

- And they're armed! - Hey! Hey!

How we looking down there, boys?

- One set of utensils, one bed. - Hey!

- She's alone. - Mm-hm.

Okay.

Now, can we please start over?

Okay. Where are the cars?

Stop.

Stop.

Elvis had a shit ton of cars and we wanna see 'em.

I-- I don't-- I don't know. I don't know where they are.

Um, we had some here.

The others were across the street in the exhibit hall,

but I haven't been there in years. I don't--

You too.

They call me Link.

We'll do intros later.

Come here, sit.

It's, um, a peace offering. You look cold.

How'd you get to Graceland?

I was a tour guide here when it all happened.

You've been here alone the entire time?

Looks like you never built a fire.

I didn't want anyone to see the smoke.

I didn't want anyone to know I was here.

Smart.

Well...

...I absolutely love what you've done with the place.

It must have been hard being here... on your own.

I've been alone before.

Must have been hard all the same.

I really must insist we get this thing tune--

Fuck. [groaning] Jesus Christ.

Fuck! Oh!

I wasn't gonna hurt you, okay?

Enough for all of us.

Yeah, Geiger, next time, pick a smaller boar to kill.

Hey, man, you guys said get enough for everybody, so I don't know.

I'm gonna give it to you straight, but I want you

to keep an open mind about it.

This is the deal, alright? We jack a sailboat.

Already a bad start. Terrible start.

No, just hear me out!

- Chef's making bacon. - Wild boar.

Still qualifies. Sit.

Little appetizer.

You were in that room for three days.

Eat. Drink.

Alright? You can relax. We're not the bad guys.

Though I will admit to not being my best self

since the grade-two concussion you gave the best piano player

this place has seen in years.

So, the good news, after three years,

things are better out there than you think.

I asked you your name before, but you spat on me.

- Twice. - Yes, twice. Thank you, Geiger.

This is Geiger. He's great at counting.

You got a name?

Annie.

- Annie, my name is-- - Link.

Yeah, you said.

Hm. Left a mark.

A little about me, since I don't exactly have Instagram anymore,

when the shit hit the fan, I was living in Louisville.

Dropped out of college, got a job at REI,

and I heard the words "super volcano" and "ash cloud" on the news,

and I grabbed as much North Face swag as I possibly could.

Everyone else was making a run, you know, for guns

and for toilet paper, while I was shoving

Antarctic-rated sleeping bags in my Ford Focus.

Saved my life.

No, I saved your life.

It's my story, Geiger. Can I tell it for once?

I'm just asking for a little fidelity to the truth, partner.

I mean, when I found you,

you were in a sleeping bag crying like a toddler.

- Mm. - So, let's not make it out

like you were Richard Hatch or something.

- Richard Hatch is-- - Yeah, I know.

- He won the first season of Survivor. - Oh.

Nice.

Anyway, Geiger here fed me.

Not because he loved me instantly,

but because he needed another set of hands.

Go ahead.

We tell this story a lot. This is his part.

I was recruiting a crew to go around

and safely shut down all the nuclear power plants.

There's 94 in the country. All of them are just meltdowns

waiting to happen if they're abandoned.

- And that's job one. - Yeah.

We've been everywhere this side of Mississippi

that isn't underwater.

So, how much do you know about what happened?

Best we can--

Actually, well, this is Urkel's section.

- We call him-- we call him Urkel because-- - If she knew Richard Hatch,

I'm guessing she can crack Urkel.

Thanks. Best we can tell,

volcanic eruption didn't just create a tsunami

that flooded the coastal areas.

It was so intense, the ash cloud

went into the stratosphere and circled the Earth,

cooling the planet by 20 degrees or more.

I have a theory that one of the world powers

had a secret EMP device that knocked out all electronics.

- I mean, anything with a battery... - Alright, alright, alright.

Don't let him go down the EMP road,

otherwise, you'll be praying for another tsunami.

- Trust me. - We'll talk.

Upshot is...

it was bad. It was really fucking bad.

We believe that we lost two-thirds of the U.S. population,

the first 40% from the tsunami that hit the coast,

the next 27% from, I don't know, societal collapse, starvation.

Any survivors that we meet now are people in groups

who have figured out how to work together,

and most importantly, how to grow food in these conditions.

And speaking of!

Hey, Big Papi here was impressed with your plant in the window.

Yeah. Needs more light, though.

So, you guys, where can I get some motherfucking bacon?

Boom.

Ooh, yeah. Ah, man, I love this.

Hey.

You don't have to hide in your room.

Okay?

Hopefully, you don't mind having a few new roommates

for the next few days.

We'll be out of your hair soon.

Spring break can't last forever.

[laughing] Holy shit!

The King does not disappoint, gentlemen.

Alright, let's see what we got.

You feeling that, that's yours.

Don't worry, ma'am. We're not gonna take 'em.

Just some parts. Cars are pretty much worthless now.

[wincing] Ah, fucker.

- You alright? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Good? - Yeah, yeah. It's fine.

The only access in here is from the south.

I think we should stage here, set up a perimeter.

This place is gonna be seriously fortified.

Do we have the firepower? Yes.

Even if we get in, how are we gonna find her?

Hey, we're just planning our next road trip.

Okay.

Yeah, we, uh, we all take those. Preventative.

- Potassium iodide? - Yeah.

You know, this is only good for hyperthyroidism.

It doesn't help with radiation exposure.

Thanks, we know.

How long your wrist been like that?

Couple months.

You know, saving the world, it gets rough sometimes.

It hurts, but I can manage.

I think it's just a scaphoid fracture.

- What? - It's a small bone near the base

of your thumb. I can reset it.

- Come here. - Yeah? If...

My hands are cold, but just...

Yeah, okay.

Ye-- Oof. Yeah, you have to find the bone,

and then kind of just, like,

knock it back into place.

Sorry, you okay?

Yeah.

- Oof. - I'll-- I'll make you a splint,

but you should probably try not to use it for the next few weeks.

Alright.

Thanks.

You remember this place?

I can't wait to hear about all your adventures. Come on.

It looks like you've been through a lot.

I missed you so much.

Sorry, I didn't know anyone was up here.

No. Uh, I hope this is okay.

I'll-- I'll move it back when I'm done.

Yeah.

I wondered if we'd ever see the stars again

after that ash cloud was up there.

Do you ever see any satellites? They look like shooting stars.

They're all starting to fall out of the sky now.

I have.

Yeah, I wondered why there were so many shooting stars.

Satellites.

Of course.

Man, I used to fucking love telescopes.

Outer space.

Went to Florida when I was a kid.

And my sister would not stop going on and on

about Disney World,

but I was way more hyped on Cape Canaveral.

- You ever been? - Mm-mm.

No? Aw, man, it was the shit.

I mean, it's not there anymore since...

...over a decade ago.

How old are you?

It's hard to keep track, but I think I turned...

25 this year?

You're 25?

- Wow. - I mean, it's been a rough few years.

It's not easy to maintain a skincare routine.

No, I think it's just the beard.

Well, the beard makes me look like a leader.

The beard makes you look like Charles Manson.

Okay.

That was me my freshman year of college.

Oh, wow. You're a baby.

- Yep. - Cute.

You can keep it if you want.

Thank you.

Why do they call you Link?

It's the main guy from Zelda.

Yeah. We seem like a bunch of bad-asses,

but we're actually just a bunch of nerds who outlasted the popular kids.

I kinda got that.

Well, we are in fact leaving tomorrow.

We're part of this bigger group of people

going out west to try and restart the world.

I gotta be in St. Louis by next week.

Why are you going up to St. Louis if you're heading west?

Because you don't want to be crossing the river into Arkansas.

It's not so bad anymore, but...

there's still some bad pockets.

Like, you see right over there?

- See just across the river? - Mm-hmm.

That's a bad pocket.

So, since it's our last night,

what are your dinner plans?

Because there's this new place just opened up downstairs,

and they just got a new chef last week

who's just completely revamped the menu.

Okay? At least I look sharp.

I look sharp, you're in a sweatshirt.

It says, "Do good," though.

All the costumes in this house, that's what you grab.

- You guys, you're both pretty. - Whoa!

- [whistling] Wow. - Stop.

You look nice, Annie.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

It smells great down here.

Oh, Link will be here in a minute.

- Mm. - She takes a while to get dressed.

- One for the lady. - Oh, there she is!

Cinderella!

Yeah?

Yeah? Alright. Alright, assholes.

Alright, shut the fuck up.

Isn't she pretty?

- She's so lovely. - Oh, my God.

Wow.

Wow. You, uh...

- You look really pretty. - Thank you.

So, what do you think?

Uh, I...

I was wrong, I-- I miss the beard.

Ouch.

One for the prettiest boy at the table.

Thank you. Alright, alright.

A big thank you to our lovely host.

Cheers.

Cheers.

'Kay, Annie. One thing you miss, one thing you don't.

- Mm. - What?

Oh, it's a game we play when we meet people.

So, we ask you to pick one good thing that you miss from before...

- Mm. - ...and one thing that you don't.

Urkel, show her. What do you miss?

I miss watching the Mets.

Alright, and what don't you miss?

Watching the Mets.

And there you have it.

So, how about you?

Ooh. [sighs] Um...

I don't know.

Come on. Nothing?

There isn't anything that you miss from before?

I miss the beard, that's--

Miss the beard...

- Touché. - Touché.

Come on, now that's a cop-out. Come on, what?

It's all good. It's all good.

- It's-- it's not meant to be a stressor. - No, I-- you know, I miss

- giving tours here. - Okay.

At Graceland. Um...

The world was a-- it was a hard place for me before.

And when I was giving tours here,

I just knew exactly what to say.

It was a safe place for me.

Me and Elvis, this was our safest place in the world.

Alright, then let's, uh, let's do it.

What?

After dinner, you-- you take us on a tour.

- Uh... - That's a great idea.

- Mm-hmm. - Tour. Tour. Tour.

Tour. Tour. Tour. Tour. Tour. Tour. Tour.

You're gonna have to feed me first, though.

- Yeah. Yeah. - I'm not-- not giving a tour for nothin'.

In 1957, a 22-year-old Elvis gave his parents $100,000

and charged them with the mission of finding a piece of property

that was large enough to secure his privacy.

Three months later, Elvis's parents found Graceland.

He installed a security wall at the top of the stairs

as well as a two-way mirror-- you can come, [chuckles]--

so that he could see whoever was in his house.

To this day, he remains the number-one...

The three doesn't match because he got really mad

at what Walter Cronkite said once, and he shot the TV.

This is the iconic Jungle Room.

Hey, did you hear about the bus of Elvis impersonators

that crashed on its way to an Elvis convention?

Luckily, no one was injured. Don't worry.

But we did hear that they were all shook up.

Wow, was this recently?

No, it's a...

it's a joke.

Uh, Elvis has a song, "All Shook Up."

Oh. Yeah, I did not-- Sorry, I--

I never really listened to his music.

Okay.

It's funny, that, uh...

- That joke usually did really well. - Yeah?

Anyway, uh...

...sorry to end our tour on such a lame note.

Uh, what was your, uh, what was your favorite song?

- Oh, my God. - I don't know.

What? You don't know?

You've memorized all these facts about Elvis,

and about his house, and about his horses.

And you don't know your favorite song?

Yeah, memorizing... facts about something else is just easier.

Easier than what?

It's, um...

I think that it's very impressive.

Everything that you've done here.

"Are You Lonesome Tonight?"

Um...

maybe, but less than usual.

What?

I mean, loneliness, it's just a-- it's a weird thing to think about.

I mean, we're-- we're all probably lonely,

but we've just been surviving for so long that we--

no one really acknowledges it, you know?

"Are You Lonesome Tonight?" is my favorite Elvis song.

Oh.

Right.

So, I-- again, yeah, I, um...

Guess I am not really an Elvis guy.

This is it.

Oh, this is weird.

- Sorry. - No.

- Sorry. - No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's...

It's been a while.

Yeah. Yeah.

Um...

Jimmy James. Broke my heart.

Oh, for God's sake.

- How old was it? - Fifth grade.

Fifth grade?

I'll never forgive him.

Fucking Jimmy James.

- You don't get it? - No, what?

That was a reference to Jaws.

Oh. I've n-- I never saw Jaws.

- You haven't seen Jaws? - No.

Did you even have a life before the world shut down?

No.

Why are you really here?

So, you know how Urkel has his EMP theory?

Mm-hmm.

All electronic devices were wiped out,

but we found that some vintage parts still work.

Mm-hmm.

So, we figured that we ought to check out Elvis's old decommissioned cars,

I don't know, see if we could salvage anything useful for a trip to Colorado.

Colorado?

There's a bunker out there. We're convinced of it.

But not just any bunker, a full underground city.

I mean, this place has supplies that don't exist anywhere else.

Airplanes and electrical grids,

energy sources that can help jump-start the world.

But it's more than that.

There's something there, something that nobody knows about.

Something so dangerous.

I'd try and explain it to you,

but trust me, you wouldn't understand.

And I-- I don't mean that as an insult.

No, I get it. It's a-- a giant shark.

Yeah.

How did you know?

And it's gonna eat you alive.

Come with us.

Come restart the world with me, Annie.

You know how dramatic that sounds?

You're smiling. Is that a yes?

Is that a yes?

Hey, Annie, it's me. You in there?

The guys are saying that we have to go,

but, uh, I can tell them that you need another minute

to get your things.

Annie, I know this is hard, and I know that it's scary,

but I really think that you should come with us.

I really, really want you to come with me.

I can't.

Annie, come on.

Link, it's time to go.

Alright, wait.

- Annie, come on. - Listen, man.

I don't wanna sound like a dick,

- but we got shit to do, brother. - Annie, come on, open the door.

- Annie, come on. - Link, come on.

Let her go!

Hey, listen to me!

Settle down.

You're the one who's been going on and on about this bunker

and the fate of the world.

This is not the time to be catching feelings.

Now listen, we've gotta get to the bunker.

- Yes. - We gotta get inside,

and we've got to kill Alex.

Right?

One minute. Then we gotta get going.

Okay.

Fuck.

What's the matter?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stand up.

Head up. Put your head back. Pinch your nose.

Pinch your nose.

Here, hold that.

- I'm fine. I got it. - You alright?

'Kay, I'm gonna buy a couple minutes with the guys, alright?

Then we gotta go.

Annie, please.

Annie, come on.

I really want you to come with me.
