Don't go.

I love you, baby... but you're late.

See you in 10 days.

People need to know that there are survivors.

Their people could be alive up there.

And then what? They go searching?

Whatever the fuck that looks like.

My name is Teri Rogers-Collins.

I'm here with other survivors.

People are rebuilding.

Your wife is alive out there, Xavier.

I can help you find her.

Collins, he's showing you the way.

He gave his life for it.

It is not just about your wife.

We need to know what's out there.

We need to know who's left.

I'm coming, baby.

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

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

You see right over there?

There's still some bad pockets.

Come here.

This is Cessna November 559108

flying 10,000 feet, mechanical instruments only.

Heading is half.

Well, my compass is acting sort of strange.

Relying partially on dead reckoning, but I'm a little rusty.

Best I can tell, heading is east southeast.

This is Cessna November 559108.

Once again, if anyone's out there, come in, please.

Um, I'm flying through some kind of hailstorm.

If anyone is receiving this, my name is Xavier Collins.

I'm flying to Atlanta to find my wife, Dr. Teri Rogers-Collins,

who sent a radio transmission from somewhere near the city's center.

Teri, if you're getting this, the kids are safe.

They're in a Colorado bunker community

near 39 degrees north, 105 degrees west.

Teri, Presley, James, I love you.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Terrain. Terrain. Terrain.

Terrain. Terrain.

Ah!

A man down! Man down!

Medic, over here!

Don't move.

Your training officer said you were on pace to break

the Academy's course record.

- Hm. - Sorry. It sucks.

It was his record.

It sucks for him 'cause I'm still gonna beat it.

Possible ligament damage. We'll confirm that with an MRI.

But that's gonna require surgery.

- Ah. - Then, there's your kneecap.

You've suffered a patellar dislocation.

- Can I see it? - Uh, you don't need

- that picture in your head. - Yeah.

Well, to perform the reduction, I'm gonna need to cradle your lower leg...

- Hm. - ...flex your hip, then extend your leg.

I'm gonna apply force to the lateral edge, push the kneecap back into place.

How will I know when it's back in?

You'll hear a clunk.

So, I'm listening for the clunk?

You won't be listening to anything.

We're gonna sedate you for this, Xavier.

This is not something you wanna feel. Trust me.

Okay.

Relax your quad. Listen for the clunk.

That's my bag.

Did you hear what I said, son? These are my things.

My books, my maps.

Half my life is in there. Hey.

Give it back. Hey, give it--

Who are they?

Hey. Hey, hey!

Hey!

Fuck.

Shit.

Ah, fuck!

Go, go! Damnit, move it!

It's inside the boat?

I need to deal with my knee.

Oh, geez.

Is there anything else I can get you, Mr. Collins?

Any chance you got an extra blanket lying around?

- A warm one, for the foot of the bed? - Yeah, no problem.

Oh, one more thing. Is there any chance I could swap out

this cherry-flavored Jell-O for a different flavor?

For a man who begged to be awake during knee surgery,

I didn't expect you to be so damn needy.

My mother always said I wasn't a good patient

because I have no patience.

I know, I know.

As for my cherry Jell-O hatred, it comes from when I was a kid.

I had the flu and my mother gave me cherry flavor,

and my stomach was like...

- I'll get you a different flavor. - Thank you very much.

On a scale of one to 10, what's your pain level right now?

Maybe a five?

Stays that way 'til tonight, maybe you'll be discharged.

- Thank God for us all. - Ha-ha.

Uh, I don't know what other flavors you have,

but if you happen to have green or yellow,

I'd probably rank 'em green, yellow, orange--

Shit.

It's lime.

You don't want it?

What I want is to have my surgery and get the hell outta here.

Yeah. Yeah, I already had mine.

Some meniscal reconstruction.

Yes, I've heard. We've all heard.

I'm Xavier. It's nice to meet you.

Teri.

What an absolute pleasure.

I'm all set, nurse.

My roomie gave me hers. But I'll take it.

You know, now that I think about it, I think, um, the pain in my knee

is closer to an eight.

So, maybe I should stay a little bit longer.

You don't have a chance.

- We'll see. - Mm.

That's my bag.

We can share the food, but I need my stuff.

Please, I need my things.

Hey, kids, I...

I need water...

and I need to deal with my knee.

Thank you.

Who were those men with the torches?

I need to get back to my plane.

I need to pop my knee back into place.

And I don't wanna scare you guys, but it's gonna hurt.

I'm probably gonna scream and pass out from the pain.

Can you grab me that cord from the bag?

Cord, please.

Thank you.

Hey, roomie.

What you doing?

You back there? Hope you're decent.

You do realize that curtain is there for a reason.

I, uh, just got back from a walk.

The doctor wants me to start moving and putting weight on my knee.

Ambulation. It's his word.

Good for you.

They're having a birthday party at the nurse's station...

and they have cake.

Fun!

I could get you a piece. Some more ambulation.

Nah, I think I'm good. Now, if you'll excuse me--

What are the cards for?

- I'm studying. - What are you studying?

I am pursuing a doctorate in Cell, Molecular and Organismal Biology.

And I don't need a study partner.

That's probably for the best.

- Okay, I think I better close the curt-- - Ooh.

- Oh, God. - I got it.

- Mm. - You, you are probably not supposed

- to bend down. - No, it's ambulation.

- Remember? - Just call the nurse.

What this?

Amanita Phalloides?

Amanita Phall-o-ides.

"Ama-nit-ya" number in a second, you know what I'm saying?

You'd like it, it's a, it's a type of mushroom.

An invasive species of mushroom.

Hey.

Oh, you don't have to do-- I'm fine.

I'm... Okay.

What are you in here for?

Congenital scoliosis.

Back pain has been my constant companion my entire life,

but doctor says it's gonna be a thing of the past as of tomorrow, so...

You nervous?

Uh, yeah. Little.

Well, I'm sure you're in good hands.

Thanks.

Hey, maybe when we're both back on our feet, so to speak,

we can, um... grab a coffee or something.

- Like a date? - Yeah.

And then, we go on another date?

And another? And then what?

Marriage, kids?

We spend the next 50 years telling everybody our meet-cute story,

how we shared a surgical room in a hospital?

It would be a cute story.

Okay, but here is the problem with that.

After I finish my PhD, I'm headed to Brazil

for a WHO-sponsored research position.

From there, it's back to the States and the UN

before I make my run at my dream job,

which I have had my eye on for years, at NIH.

That's a lot of acronyms.

Marriage is not in the foreseeable future for me.

And as unpopular as it is for some women to admit...

I'm not even sure I wanna have kids.

So, what you're saying is...

That I'm not gonna let my life plan get derailed

by the hot guy in the hospital bed who put a blanket on my feet.

So, thank you,

but if you could just maybe go away now, please.

"Hot guy."

I'ma get you some cake. Be right back.

Teri.

Come here.

Mm!

Mm.

How long have I been out?

Five minutes?

Five hours.

Can I have some more water?

Thanks.

Um, Xavier.

My name is Xavier.

We understand English.

Alright. Of course you do.

- What's your name? - I'm Daniel.

It's nice to meet you, Daniel.

These are my friends.

And that's my little sister.

They don't talk much.

Can I have my bag back?

It's got my books and pictures in it.

They're important to me. I need the things in my bag.

Without the things in my bag, I won't be able to get to where I'm going.

Thank you.

Look...

this a map of the southeast.

I was flying to Atlanta, Georgia.

There's a radio tower at these coordinates

that I'm trying to get to.

And when my plane went down, I think I was pretty close to the city.

Do you guys-- Do you know where we are?

Arkansas? You sure?

What do you got there?

Can I see?

I'm their dad.

That's my daughter, Presley, and my son, James.

She wants to know if they're dead.

No. They're very much alive.

Lost?

No, they're back where I came from.

I... I left them there.

- Safe? - Yes.

How did you guys get here?

We were on the same travel team together.

Except for my little sister.

We went to a tournament on a bus.

That was the day it happened.

And what about your coaches and your families?

They're all gone now.

Hey, um, this was my son's favorite.

I could read it to you. Would you like that?

He wants to know if he can have your jacket when you're dead.

Okay.

Maybe no book.

You said everything went well. You said it was successful.

It did go well. This complication is called

perioperative visual loss, and it's extremely rare.

It could take hours

or as much as a few days for your eyesight to return.

But i-it will come back, right?

You're young. You're healthy.

Let's just take it one step at a time, okay?

I'm gonna see you in the morning. Try and get some rest.

You wanna talk?

Please, just leave me alone.

You know, when I find my wife, I'm gonna bring her back to Colorado,

to our kids.

You kids can come back with us.

It's a safe place, I promise you.

It's normal there?

I don't know what normal is anymore, Daniel.

But you'll be welcome.

I'll have to ask my friends.

They like it here.

Seems kinda hard, finding food and water, staying warm.

We have other places we go.

Hey, Daniel...

why does he open and close his eyes all the time?

He says when he closes his eyes,

he can see his parents' faces.

He does it so he won't forget what they look like.

Do you know what it's about?

It's the story of a little boy named James.

And even after he loses his parents

and his family's mean to him...

he still finds a way to make friends.

To find people that care about him.

And he doesn't give up.

"Until he was four years old, James..."

Oh, fuck.

Drop the stick.

- You're from that plane, ain't you? - Yes.

- You the pilot? - Yes.

- Anybody else with you? - No, I'm alone-- Ow.

Where you come from?

You look well-fed, like you've been taken care of with medicine and such.

I've seen folks in refugee camps, they don't look nothing like you.

Colorado. I'm from Colorado.

Is that where you plan to take those kids?

Yeah, that's right.

I've been tracking them for a few days now.

He was a bad man. He was following you.

I'm sorry, I, I had to do something.

He's hurt bad.

No, I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Oh.

Oh, sh--

You... gonna help me?

- You awake? - I think so.

Jesus!

- Wake up. - Alright. Hold on.

Stop throwing shit at me.

Hey.

What's going on?

I can't see, and I can't find my water bottle.

It's usually here with my... my hand cream

- and my chapstick. - Okay.

- Tissue box. - Yeah.

Flashcards. And then this, my ice chips.

But where's my water bottle?

- It's right here, usually. Where is it? - I don't-- Okay. I don't know.

Where is it? And this blanket keeps coming off my feet.

Alright. Okay, alright. Just take it easy, okay?

I heard the doc say this is only gonna take a couple of days, so just calm down.

- You want me to calm down? - Yes.

You want calm?

How's that for calm?

Is everything alright?

Everything's fine.

- Here, let me get that. - No, no, no. I got it.

Can we get some more ice chips, please?

Yeah, no problem.

I'm sorry.

Here's your water bottle.

Um, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You're gonna be alright.

It's-- It's just dark.

Okay, I need you to--

I need you to talk to me about something else.

- About what? - Anything.

Just your favorite food or...

your favorite sports team, your favorite book.

- Just talk to me, please. - Okay, got it.

Favorite food is French toast.

Favorite sports team...

it's the St. Louis Cardinals.

Favorite book? Um...

Honestly, I'm not that much of a reader.

- You can't think of one book? - I can think of one book,

but when it comes to favorite, nothing jumps to mind

like French toast or the Cardinals.

- I don't wanna just make one up. - It's fine, you can lie to me.

I would never lie to you.

Okay, well... you think my eyesight will come back?

I know it will.

I know it will.

Oh, shit.

Hello?

Hey, kids?

Hey.

Hello?

Where's my bag? Where's my things?

No, no, no. No, no, no.

Shit.

Shit.

You were headed home when my shift ended yesterday.

I thought I'd stick around.

Sleeping in that chair isn't great for your knee.

- Can I ask you a question? - I can't give you prognosis.

Don't give up now.

Can I get you anything?

Uh, coffee sounds good.

Hey, you know what? Um, I'll come with you.

Okay.

T-Teri?

Teri?

Come on.

Teri?

Anything yet?

Doctor said I might see shapes and forms first.

- Do you? - No.

There's nothing. It's just dark.

Just black.

Are you bothering my stuff?

You had, uh, your book and a bunch of cards.

I just thought I'd get 'em out of the way.

Coming in.

- Will you sit with me? - Yeah.

How you feel? Okay?

Yeah.

Hold on tight.

Where are you taking me? I need to find her.

Who? What's your name?

I need to get to Atlanta.

- Atlanta? - Mm-hmm.

That's not happening today, mister.

But, Teri.

Teri's your name?

T-- Teri.

Anything yet?

Nope.

You don't have to be here, you know?

I know.

Mm.

Anything yet?

Is this what you do?

What do you mean?

Make sure I have what I need?

Yeah?

It's nice to see you again.

You can see.

I'm starting to.

Where am I?

Uh, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.

I need to get to Atlanta.

You've been going on and on about Atlanta since I found you.

Hey, hey.

- Huh? - These children?

- Uh-huh. - Were they with you on the plane?

Those are my children. No.

They're in Colorado.

They're in an underground bunker in Colorado.

I need-- There's survivors in Colorado.

But my wife, Teri...

Ter...

Come here.

I need to get to Atlanta, so if you can please just listen to me--

No, you listen to me. You're not going to Atlanta.

You're taking us to Colorado.

Wait. Wait.
