All right, Everett, if your eyes are closed,

all you need to do is concentrate on your breath.

- Sorry. - You don't have to apologize.

Notice the sound. Let it go. Come back to your breath.

Maybe I should take another Ativan.

I only had one so far.

- Did you run this morning? - Three miles.

- Yoga? - 20 minutes.

Then you're doing everything right.

But what if I just took a 1/4 of a pill?

Everett, you know what I'm gonna say.

I know, I know, I know.

I'm supposed to push through the anxiety.

Tell myself it's not gonna last,

it's not gonna kill me.

And it's-it's actually just evidence

of my body working at peak condition.

But I'm pretty sure peak condition

doesn't feel like there's a giant fucking weight

crushing me, so can I please just take another Ativan?

Listen, I'm gonna have to call you back.

They're evacuating my building.

You're not anywhere near this fire, are you?

What is that?

Everett?

Are you still there? Can you hear me?

What is that?

Everett, can you see the fire?

Yeah. I can see it.

Connor... Hey, Connor, why are we stopped?

Nobody knows.

Look at that shit out there.

If we have to run, I'm screwed.

Everyone get back in your seats.

You guys really aren't supposed to be up

in the middle of the aisle.

Look at that car.

Huh?

Oh. See that car?

There's no one behind the wheel

like the driver abandoned their car.

Maybe they're coming back.

Maybe they didn't want to burn to death in their car.

Wait, look.

I don't think he's coming back.

Oh, um, it's called psychogenic tremor.

I've got-got anxiety.

- Doesn't everyone? - Not like me.

It's from the school.

You lose your phone? - Oh, I don't have one.

- You don't have a phone? - What's the text say?

What, are you, like, not allowed to have a phone?

No. I just--I choose not to. It's a thing.

You wouldn't get it. What's the text say?

Classes are cancelled.

They're shutting down all the schools near the fire.

Wait, why wouldn't I get it?

It's personal preference.

I don't have a phone, no computer, no email.

Everyone's got a thing.

I've got a thing about phones

and you have a psychotic tremor.

It's psychogenic tremor.

What's the difference?

I'm not psychotic.

You sure about that?

They're evacuating Altadena and Eagle Rock.

- I live in Altadena. - Did you say Eagle Rock?

Atwater Village, too.

But they're doing that to be safe, right?

It doesn't mean our houses are actually burning down.

If they're saying evacuate,

I think they're pretty worried about shit burning down.

Hey, Phoebe, can I borrow your phone for a sec?

I just need to send a message to my brother.

For real?

You don't talk to me for over a year

and now you want to be friends again?

No, I-I just want to borrow your phone.

You're unbelievable.

You need to open the door right now.

If I let all of you run out into the street,

I could lose my job. - We could lose our lives.

I kind of think that's more important

than your shitty minimum wage job.

Can you stop recording me, please?

Fuck no. This is evidence for my parents

when they come pull my dead body out of here.

I'm trying to do the right thing.

So am I which I why I'm posting this

so people know who killed

a bus full of high school students.

What the fuck is your problem?

- What? - Don't go out there, Austin.

Don't go out there.

- What is that? - Move out of the way!

Back up. Back up. Back up!

Get out of the way!

Move, guys!

Get out! - Come on!

Go this way!

Just leave everything!

- Here. Here. Come on. - Oh, thanks.

- Come on! Back to the bus. - What?

There's something out--

Austin? Austin!

Oh, fuck.

Holy shit.

Run. Are you stupid? Run!

Shit, Diesel.

Seriously?

Every day? Every single day?

There you are. I've been trying to reach you.

Why can't you carry a cell phone

like a normal fucking teenager?

If you want me to be a normal fucking teenager,

why don't you try not using the word "fucking"

when talking to your teenager.

You should have been here helping with your brother.

Danny? Danny, look at me.

Look.

It's okay. - Look, everyone's saying

the shelters are filling up fast.

And there's no way I'm paying for a hotel.

I'm going.

Jacket. Wet.

Don't worry. I'm okay.

Con--

Do you know what kind of animal bit you?

I said do you know what kind of animal bit you?

A wolf.

It was a wolf.

Let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

- Where's Danny? - Shit.

Weren't you watching him?

Stay here. I'll take care of this.

Christ's sake, Blake, we don't have time for this.

Where do you think you're going?

- There. - Come on. Let's go.

I said let's go.

Look there.

You have to speak in complete sentences, Danny.

Now let's go.

No. Look.

Let's go.

Hey. Nice to see you a little more lucid, Everett.

Well, we don't have any burns from the fire

but you do have a rather nasty bite

from an animal.

It did look quite a bit worse when he came in, right?

Maybe it was all the blood and the wound wasn't that deep.

Well, you're pretty lucky, Everett.

There was quite an accident on the highway.

Sounds like there were a lot of car crashes

and animals running everywhere.

- The ram... - Bighorn sheep. Horses too.

A few stables burned down

and sent them all running to the hills.

Hey, I want you to relax, okay?

The worst is over.

So what about your other friends?

Do you know anybody who made it here to the hospital

from the highway?

Uh, everybody ran.

Th-there was one. Blake.

- He a friend of yours? - She. And no.

Not-not really. I mean, most of my friends

are online. - Mm. Okay.

Well, don't worry, kiddo. We called your parents.

My parents? They're coming here?

That's what happens when we call the parents.

And they're usually pretty happy

to know that you're okay. - No, no. Not my parents.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

Okay.

Hey, the phone's ringing.

The phone?

Um, hello?

Get out of the hospital.

- Who is this? - Leave the hospital now.

Grab your things and go. - What? Why?

It's going to find you.

It's going to keep coming, Everett.

How do you know my name?

It can't move as easily in daylight.

But it will move and it will come for you.

Why is this happening to me?

You were bitten.

It has to find you before the next full moon.

What does it want?

To kill you...

before the full moon.

There he is. Jesus, Everett,

what were you thinking?

Ev!

Dad, how far is the shelter?

Two miles. May as well be 200.

Never gonna get through this traffic.

Maybe we should get a hotel.

- Can't afford a hotel. - Okay, a motel.

We can't afford a camping tent right now, Blake.

Danny, here, take your fidget cube.

Look, I've got some cash.

I can help pay for a motel.

Could you stop kicking my goddamn seat, Danny?

There's a motel 1/2 a mile down Verdugo.

It's $40 a night.

How exactly would you know that?

You really want to know?

Forget I asked.

How about I give you two options,

you tell me which one you like better.

Option A, I fucked a guy there one night.

Do not do this in front of Danny.

Option B...

I used my fake ID to get Danny and I a room

when you and mom were fighting for six hours

and didn't even notice we were gone.

And still didn't noticed after she left

and you got drunk.

When we got back in the morning,

you also didn't notice

because you were passed out and hungover.

I'll take option A, thanks.

How about you just take us to the motel?

Fuck this.

Hey! Hey, what are you doing, man?

Everett, I want you to take a sip of this.

It has electrolytes.

I'm okay. I just got lightheaded.

You really should have stayed

and waited for the emergency responders.

Come on, Kendra. Ease up on him.

It's called hyperbole.

If my son can exaggerate a minor scratch

into a mortal wound, then I get to embellish a little too.

- It's not a minor scratch. - Nothing's minor with you.

Did they even show you? Did you look at it?

Here. Look.

Oh, for God's sake, Everett.

That's not even gonna scar.

- You can't see it. - I can see it fine.

Ask your father.

Oh, I don't know, Ev. Maybe a little scar.

Wait, there's a girl. She got bit too.

The same thing's probably happening to her.

- What girl? - You met a girl?

No. I mean, like, I know her.

We have a couple classes together.

Her name's Blake. We should find her.

We need to get out of here. - No, no, no.

Lie down. - No, you're right.

You're right. It's just a scratch. I'm fine.

No, no, no. Come on, Ev.

You passed out twice. They have to monitor you.

You're not going anywhere. - No, we need to get

out of here before night, before it gets too dark.

It already is night.

- They gave you a sedative. - What?

You've been out a long time.

Go.

L.A. highway...

Between victims in a violent and deadly scene.

- Want to help me, please? - Danny, come on.

- We don't have... - Let's settle, okay?

The exact numbers, but our sources have confirmed

there have been multiple deaths

from animal attacks

apparently as a direct result of the wildfires.

Authorities are warning citizens

to be on the lookout for bears, coyotes,

and other animals driven out of their dens.

Many of them are simply scared and injured.

But as we all know, fear and pain...

Fear and pain.

Can result in lethal consequences.

Okay, if we lose the house,

if it all burns down, where are we supposed to go?

Is there a government program for that?

Uh, who can I call?

I-I've got two kids here.

I've got a young child with autism, okay?

What? No I can't hold.

Yeah, thank you too.

Um, okay.

Uh, listen, I-I think

maybe I should take you guys to your mom's.

Uh, though I'm pretty sure she won't pick up if I call.

- We're not going to Mom's. - How about if you call?

She'll pick up if--

if she sees it's you, she'll pick up.

She's not gonna know it's me.

Oh, right. No phone.

Stop it. - Skin.

Use complete sentences like we talked about.

I can't respond unless you help me understand.

- Your skin. - No.

Don't you think I know how bad my skin looks?

Danny, stop.

Your skin.

I can't believe how tall the flames...

I gotta run. - Where the hell are you going?

- I'm coming right back. - Blake, wait.

The highway? What's going on?

I've been a piece of shit.

I know.

Give me a break, please?

Everything's falling apart and I-I don't know what to do.

I'm just looking for a little help

so I can take care of you and Danny, all right?

- I can take care of myself. - Yeah, I know.

I know. And you can take care of Danny too.

Better than I ever can.

Please, just help me out.

Okay?

I'll be right back.

Whoo!

Show me again!

Did you like my set?

Yeah, I did. Especially that last track.

I can't believe you used an actual 2-2-4

instead of a plugin. - How'd you hear that?

I hear a lot of things.

You some type of music prodigy or something?

No. I just know what I like.

How old are you, anyway?

Don't worry.

I'm not, like, high school or anything.

Follow me.

She a friend of yours?

No. She's my sister.

He looked nice. What's his name?

Fuck off.

Is that his first or last name?

Look, he doesn't know my name either, all right?

Dad isn't responding to texts.

So?

So I think he might be missing.

He's a park ranger.

They don't go missing in the middle of the woods.

It doesn't feel right.

Come on, Luna. You know what happens.

Sometime tomorrow he's gonna come

stumbling through the front door

covered in ash and fall asleep on the couch.

And then he's gonna wake up

coughing like he's got pneumonia

and go and do it again.

Look, can you just let it go?

It's Friday night.

This party only happens once a month.

- He's our father. - Yeah, but not our real one.

I didn't say that. - Yeah, you kind of did.

Look, are you gonna help me find him or not?

Fine. I'll find him myself.

My sense of smell is better tonight anyway.

Hey, wait.

Wait!

How much better? - A lot. Why?

My hearing is turned up to 10.

It's never been this good.

Not even on a full moon.

Same with me.

But the full moon isn't for another two nights.

How many times did you text Dad?

I don't know. A lot.

If we went out there, do you think

you'd be able to smell anything besides smoke?

Yeah, that's why I need you.

I need your hearing.

You know what a fire that big sounds like?

Like a jet engine throttling up.

They found his truck.

But not him?

You the head nurse?

No, but I can try to help.

Do you actually know anything or are you gonna waste my time?

I'm Investigator Ramsey with the LAFD.

And this blunt instrument of the LAPD

is Officer Jang.

We're part of a joint taskforce investigating the wildfires.

We're looking for anyone who came in recently

that was injured on the freeway this morning.

Especially the kids who were on that school bus.

Yeah, we got one of them.

Walked in on his own. Lang. Everett Lang.

Why would the police want to talk to him?

It's not just the police.

It's an investigator from the fire department.

You know what that means, right?

Arson.

Middleton Road.

What? You're not gonna bark?

Come. Come on.

All this time we could have been friends, huh?

- How bad is it? - It's not great.

We think it might have been caught

in stampede that went

through the freeway this morning.

Whether your dad was actually in the truck

is anyone's guess.

Remember, it probably looks worse than it is.

These animals were scared and desperate.

Most of them were on fire

when they came out of the woods.

What kind of animals?

Bears, big horns, mountain lions.

What about wolves?

A wolf couldn't have done that.

Whoa!

What the fuck are you doing here?

- Looking for you. - Why?

Because we need to talk and you don't have a phone.

I don't have a phone

'cause I don't need to talk to people like you.

Oh, shit. Your house.

This is your house, isn't it?

Well, this was my house.

- There are fires every year. - Not like this one.

You heard what they said on the news.

This is the worst fire in 18 years.

Just like the one when Garrett found us.

What if this time he found someone else?

Our real father.

It's what you wanted, right?

Like you don't?

I don't want someone who abandoned us

18 years ago. - But you're the one

always saying you don't feel like you've found your pack.

Like, no one gets us and that all you've ever wanted

is to find someone like you.

Well, now's your chance, Luna.

If he's come back,

if he's really still alive,

and...

And if he did that...

Then he's coming for both of us.

Sorry you lost everything.

I don't care.

It doesn't mean anything.

Nothing? Like, not even one thing?

Nope.

It's my brother who's gonna care.

He's, um-- he's got Asperger's, right?

No one has Asperger's anymore.

It all falls under ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder.

As long as he sticks to his rituals,

he's actually pretty high-functioning.

What rituals?

Anytime he walks into a room,

if there's a TV, he has to turn it on

to make sure it works.

And it has to be playing the news.

- Well, what if it's not? - He gets anxious.

Then he has a meltdown-- screaming, crying.

Sometimes he hits himself.

How come you didn't go to the hospital?

How come you didn't stay?

Someone called me and told me to leave.

He said it was gonna try and kill me again.

And it had to do it before the next full moon.

You should definitely go back to the hospital.

Probably a psychiatric hospital.

No. I know what I saw.

People died and it wasn't because of a fire.

Our bus driver was one of them.

- Renata. - Who?

Our bus driver. Her name was Renata.

Look.

You see that? - See what?

Everyone who looks at it says it's healing

and it probably won't even scar.

That's not what you see, is it?

Look. - I see it.

No, no, no. Not the bite.

Holy shit.

I can see my abs.

Can you see my abs?

Yeah. Congratulations.

I look like I put on ten pounds of muscle.

You want me to take a progress pic?

No, no, no. I mean I look like I put on

ten pounds of muscle in the last two hours.

Wait, your skin.

Look at your skin.

You used to have acne scars, right?

Whatever's going on with you, I can't help.

I have my own shit to deal with.

You and me, we're not in this together, all right?

I'm-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have

said it like that.

Go!

Ahh!

Other way.

For fuck's sake, just go!

What, you hear something?

Just the fire.

Do you smell something?

It's gonna be okay.

He knows how to survive a wildfire.

I'm not worried about the fire.

This is Garrett Briggs.

I'm a Los Angeles park ranger.

This is a message for my kids, Harlan and Luna.

Hey, guys.

I don't know if I'm gonna make it out of here.

And if I don't,

I wanted to make sure there's a message.

You know I love you.

But there's been things...

a lot of things I haven't said.

Luna, I want you to know that things are gonna change,

all right?

I know you haven't made the kind of friends

you were hoping to find the last few years.

I know how lonely you feel sometimes.

But I don't want you to worry about high school.

I promise you, you'll find your people.

You'll find your pack.

Harlan, look...

I know all we do right now is argue.

And I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to fix that.

Do me a favor and remember when--when things were good

between us.

Remember all the books we read together.

Same ones over and over.

Remember that I took you

to every R-rated horror movie you ever wanted to see

even though you were only ten...

And I was the one who ended up having nightmares.

Remember that I love you...

even though I'm not your--

even though you don't see me as your real...

Fuck.

Come on, Garrett.

Come on.

Get up, you asshole.

They need you.

They need you.

Are you--are you okay, Blake?

What the fuck was that? What's happening to us?

What-what's happening to me?

Just--you just try to breathe, okay?

What, like I'm having a panic attack or something?

- Probably an anxiety attack. - What's the difference?

There's a difference, trust me.

No, no, no, no. I don't get anxiety attacks

or panic attacks or whatever the fuck this is, okay?

I'm just--I'm freaking out.

You know, sometimes people freak out.

Yeah. They also have anxiety attacks.

Just try and breathe

in to seven and then out to 11.

Try shutting the fuck up.

No, you could try Lion's Breath.

What the fuck is Lion's Breath?

It's-it's yoga. It's Simhasana.

It-it can ease anxiety and reduce panic attacks.

Yoga? You want me to do yoga?

No. Just the breathing. Just the breath.

Try it with me. - No.

- Try it! - Fuck you.

Listen, you open your eyes wide,

stick your tongue out,

keep saying "Hah"

with as much energy and force as possible.

I c--I ca--I can't breathe.

No, you can do it. Just do it once.

- I can't breathe. - You can do it. Just once.

Just once. Okay?

I'll do it with you.

Look at me. Blake.

Eyes wide.

Tongue out.

One, two... both: Hah!

Okay. Do it again.

both: Hah!

Did it work? Even a little?

You feel calmer?

I don't know. Maybe.

A little. Yeah.

I should probably teach my brother how to do that.

I have to go.

My father and brother have no idea where I am.

Wait, we need to figure this out.

You think that thing just showing up at your house

was a coincidence?

Wherever you go, I guarantee it shows up there too.

You want to lead it right to them?

- It was an animal. - That wasn't an animal.

It was just a stupid animal.

It doesn't know what motel I'm staying at.

We were bitten.

I know what it was. You do too.

- I don't. - You do.

- No, I don't. - Yes. You do.

Everett, this is Kristin Ramsey.

I'm in investigator with the LAFD.

Everett, can you hear me?

It's okay.

You don't have to talk to me if you don't want to.

But I would like you to listen for a moment.

I know you're shaken up by what happened today.

You went through something pretty terrifying.

You saw people die.

But I need your help, Everett.

I need you to help me figure out

who's responsible for the deaths

of several people.

That includes some of your friends

who were on that school bus.

You're gonna hear that the police suspect arson.

But that's only part of the truth.

Because it's not just a suspicion.

I know for certain this fire was caused by arson.

I can tell you I'm certain of one other thing.

The arsonist is a teenager.

Might even be someone you go to school with.

In fact, it's quite possible

this teenager was on that bus with you.

Do you understand that, Everett?

The arsonist I'm looking for

might have been sitting right next to you,

watching the fire from the windows--

watching people burn to death.

A student. Teenager.

Just like you.

Luna? - Everett?

They're the twins from school, Harlan and Luna.

What are you doing out here?

What are you doing out here?

- You seeing this? - Yeah, I see it.

- Your eyes are glowing. - So are yours.

This never happens to us.

- What never happens? - Any of this.

But it's happening now.

- What? What's happening? - Luna, stop.

- Tell us. - We don't even know them.

Why is this happening?

Because we're all here.

All together...

under the moon.

Something bit you.

- Don't say it. - You're like us now.

Don't.

Just like us.

Werewolves.

I just wanna know one thing.

Did something bite you?

You're not safe.

You saw what he did to Garrett's truck.

What do you think he's gonna be like

on the night of a full moon?

Glad we could catch you this time.
