Ow.

There you are.

Big Man.

Jepp!

Big Man?

Jepperd!

Big Man!

This is a story.

A story about the last men.

The ones who tried to hurt us,

and the ones who tried to help.

Breakfast time, you little freaks.

Uh-uh.

We don't do kibble.

But I'm hungry.

I'm hungry too, but we don't eat dog food.

What about Earl?

What about Earl?

I'm hungry.

Fine.

Go ahead.

Eat up.

I'm not hungry.

I had a chocolate bar.

What was that thing you're doing with your hands?

We sign.

Sign?

Most hybrids can't talk like you and I do.

No one taught them?

That, or they just can't make words

'cause they don't have vocal cords to speak.

We find other ways to communicate.

That's Haley.

Those sounds mean she's swearing.

She swears a lot.

Hmm?

She wants to know who taught you to talk.

Oh. Nobody.

Wait, what about your parents?

I didn't really have parents.

Then... who's Big Man?

You talk in your sleep.

A lot.

He was... He wasn't my dad.

Just a guy.

A really, really good guy.

But he's gone now. It's just me.

What is this place?

We're in the pump house.

It's the worst place in the whole zoo.

How do you know this?

Because we used to live up there.

Till yesterday.

Well, there's got to be some way out.

It's a zoo, Gus.

It was built to keep animals in.

We're not animals.

At least not totally.

Have you guys tried digging yet?

Yes. I'm Bobby.

I'm digging all day.

But he can't get past the outside walls.

Concrete, very deep.

Oh.

Is he...

Like us?

Sorry, we skipped introductions.

Everybody, say hi to Gus.

- Hi. - You met JoJo Raccoon.

She can speak.

Junior likes to keep watch from the rafters.

And Haley's the one...

- Who swears a lot. - Who swears a lot.

And mimics voices.

Anna and Hanna do everything together.

And this is Earl.

A nice bunch of ladies looked after him.

And taught me to talk.

Oh, and that's Maya.

Watch out for her tail.

Whoa.

Finn is our newest addition, besides you.

He's had it a little rough.

He can talk too, but...

Only when I feel like it.

Uh, okay.

Otto's vision isn't so great.

And he leaves quills everywhere.

And this is Max.

You must be a...

- ...skunk. - Yep.

Whoa.

Is that a turtle?

That's Teddy.

He's super shy.

Mom was building a pool for him so he could be close to the water, but...

He really misses her. We all do.

Just take your time with him.

Aren't you forgetting someone?

Aren't you forgetting someone?

Roy.

Who's Roy?

The chameleon boy.

They took him away last night when they brought you in.

I don't know, JoJo.

I don't know when he's coming back.

Roy.

Now, that's better.

I swear, you have to do everything yourself these days.

How is it that the best maintenance men were the first ones to go?

Now, how big did you say your family was?

Oh, just the two of us.

We kept putting off kids, and then...

Nature decided for us, I guess.

We couldn't do the whole animal thing.

Don't worry. Rockbridge has a strict "no animal kid" policy.

Well, I guess we're calling them "hybrids" now.

You are going to love it here.

Security is top-notch.

Twyla does our community garden.

We started stockpiling booze in the early days.

Drinks every other week.

- The neighbors put this together for you. - Oh!

We are so thrilled to have another doctor.

Oh, he doesn't actually practice anymore.

Oh! Like riding a bike, I'm sure.

Oh! I almost forgot.

That's where your horse, Trixie, killed me.

And you and Adi covered it up.

Covered it up...

Covered it up... Covered it up...

Covered it...

How long have I been out?

Since last night.

It's the longest you've gone without a dose.

How did you...

They gave me my own lab.

I've been working nonstop since we landed.

But... the Secret Sauce.

Let's just say they have a fresh supply here.

Did you have to do it yourself?

Thank you, Adi.

Just rest for now.

You've been through a lot.

We both have.

Hey.

When do we get out of here?

Soon.

And with any luck, it'll be with a cure.

Time's up, lovebirds.

Come on. Let's go.

Move.

I didn't need to wear all this.

We've been sleeping in the same room for the last ten years.

Abbot's orders, pal.

Well, well.

No rest for the wicked, Doctor.

What do you think?

It's very pink.

I thought we agreed you'd be working on a cure, not this temporary bullshit.

My wife comes first.

Besides, that's your leverage over me, isn't it?

If she dies, then you've got nothing.

Well, if she dies,

so do you.

I'm leaving on a very important trip, next couple of days.

I expect results when we get back.

Uh, with all due respect, I'm exhausted.

Thirty-two people died this morning of the Sick

in what used to be called Albuquerque.

I haven't slept in three days.

Know what the population is there now?

- I need to rest. - A couple of hundred.

I never liked Albuquerque.

It's happening everywhere.

This is what the new wave looks like.

And that's awful.

But I can't deliver if I can't think straight!

Now, while you were playing house with a dead woman,

this thing that wiped out 98% of the human race,

and is mutating faster than anything we've ever seen,

is heading straight for us.

It doesn't care about you or your better half.

And it certainly doesn't need to nap.

Do you know why?

Because it's smarter than you.

You will rest when you're dead.

She doesn't get another dose until you deliver.

Yeah, but... but that shot won't last.

Then you better hurry, yeah?

I... It will take weeks to...

We'll be dead... in weeks.

You have three days.

I got great plans for us.

Who's in charge while I'm away?

I am, sir.

Do it again, with gumption.

I am, sir!

You hear that?

That was... Goosebumps.

Now do us a little favor and man up, both of you.

Prep the operating room, Johnny.

We've got work to do.

Hey! Keep it down.

Filthy animals.

We hate him.

Me too. He's one of the bad men who caught me.

How did they get you?

I called that radio.

I guess I was looking for...

I don't know what I was looking for.

I guess I just didn't want to be alone.

What about the radio?

We can call Mom.

We can call Mom. We can call Mom.

Call Mom.

Call Mom.

What are they saying?

If we can reach Mom on the radio...

Then maybe she can find a way to get us out.

But how do you know she has a radio?

You've obviously never met her.

But where do we get a radio?

- Oh. - Hmm.

Radio room. Upstairs.

Radio's for listening. Never for talking.

But I know how to use it.

I used to watch her.

Yeah, but how would you get there?

Go.

Come on, Bobby.

Come on.

Whoo.

What the hell do we do with these?

Boss man said take them out, we take them out.

Hey, target practice?

Well, we could.

Or... we can throw them off a building and watch them explode.

See, that's why you got promoted, man. You got ideas.

Ha!

Bobby, you did it!

- Go! - Give me the keys.

Come on!

- Move! - You move!

- Help Maya. - Come on.

Shh!

Come on.

- Hurry. - Try the mirror.

You're really close. Really close.

You got this.

- Here, I'll help. - Come on.

- Look, it's out! - Pull the...

Hey, you got the keys?

Thought you had them.

Johnny probably has them.

That hippie guy? How's that dude in charge of anything?

- You know who that hippie guy is, right? - No, who?

One scary dude.

They're gone, Wendy. Go.

Wendy. Go, now.

- But what if they come back? - It's okay. You got this.

What if I can't?

Look what they did to us the last time.

You didn't have me last time, okay?

I'll go with you. Just tell me what to do.

Okay.

I need a hand here.

Go. Go!

Go.

Go, go, go!

Gus, come on.

Stay close.

There.

We did it.

You did it.

- Are you ready? - I was born ready.

Mom, we're alive.

We're in the pump house under the elephant pen.

And they took Roy.

Don't look.

Was that...

Roy.

Tell her to hurry.

It's gonna be okay.

Okay.

Hmm.

Thank you.

Oh.

Huh.

You won't be digging out of here again.

Aww...

What did Mom say?

I don't know. She didn't respond.

Did you see Roy?

Roy's not coming back, guys.

That's right. 'Cause Roy escaped.

What?

Yeah, he snuck out after they took him. We heard 'em searching.

He's free.

Roy escaped!

Dutch.

Mi amigo.

The Lowlands get more beautiful each time I pass through here.

It's amazing what a lack of people can do.

Well, we all agreed on a time. Is Zhang running late?

She's not coming, is she?

She sends her regards.

- Texas has been hit hard with the... - Yeah, the newest wave, I know.

The Doomsday strain.

Oh, the Doomsday strain, is it?

Not like we went through a fair amount of trouble to be here for you.

Another time, Doug.

Time is a finite commodity, mijo.

Let me guess, your shithead friend from the West, he's not coming either.

They're both very sorry.

They sent me to address any outstanding issues you may have.

You all agreed to listen to my proposal.

The three don't just drop what they're doing for anyone.

I'm not just... anyone.

We have already voted.

Whatever it is you're up to, we are not interested.

I see.

Another time.

What if we don't have any more time?

People are scared.

I see it in my men's faces.

I see it in your men's faces.

Yeah. Where you see fear, I see possibility.

I don't like you, you don't like me. But we have to work together.

I'll give you some advice.

Go home.

We'll never accept you.

Say the word, General.

Let him go.

Once they understand what we're working on,

they'll come begging for us.

Sorry, Bobby. Let's try again later.

Aww.

Why did you tell them that about Roy?

We had to.

Sometimes it's okay to bend the truth a little.

- If it helps... - Says who?

My mom never lied to us.

Well, what were you gonna tell them?

The truth.

If we get taken away, we don't come back.

Roy is not your fault.

You shouldn't blame yourself.

It's not your fault you all got captured.

They got me too.

And I was with, like, the hugest person ever.

What happened to him?

I don't know.

I think he might be with Pubba now.

If he were here, though,

he'd tell me not to be sad.

And...

he'd tell me not to do any "weird deer shit."

And then he'd tell me to grow a pair.

A pair of what?

I don't know. He never said.

He used to blame himself for stuff too, but... not everything was his fault,

I don't think.

What if we...

Don't say it.

We're not gonna end up like Roy.

We're getting out of here, Wendy. All of us together.

He's afraid of the dark.

His parents hid him in the basement before he came to us.

Mom used to give him a night-light so he could sleep.

I don't know how to protect them without her.

Well, I'm sure we'll figure something out.

Besides, I heard that pigs are supposed to be super smart.

So you're probably like a genius or something.

Go, go, go, go!

Nope.

Where are you?

Ah-ha!

That one.

Okay. Let's keep walking, Bambi. Come on.

Move.

Come on.

Can you speak?

Do you have a name?

Where are you from?

A minute has already gone by.

In a few more, four large men will come to that door.

I'll have to give you to them.

They'll take you to that... cold, metal table.

And the man... with the red glasses,

he'll make me open you up

so I can look inside you for answers.

My face will be the last thing you ever see.

Unless...

Unless you can start answering my questions.

Is that what you did to Roy?

I knew you could speak.

What can I call you?

Gus.

Gus.

How old are you, Gus?

Ten.

You sure about that?

I'm ten.

My name is Aditya Singh.

I'm one of the last doctors left.

Who taught you to talk?

My Pubba.

Is that your father?

No.

I don't have a father.

I see.

What did you do to Roy?

- I didn't know he had a name. - That's not an answer.

Have you ever known someone who got... very ill?

Thanks to that boy, someone I care about

very, very much

is still alive today.

Did you hurt Roy?

Are you gonna hurt me too?

I'm not a bad man, Gus.

I'm just trying to stop everyone from getting sick.

Look, Roy couldn't answer my questions, but you can.

Now, tell me, Gus, was your father a doctor?

I told you. I don't have a father.

Your mother, then.

I don't have any parents. Can I go now?

Gus, I'm gonna ask you this one last time.

- How old are you? - I already told you.

I'm ten. Ten winters, ten summers, ten birthdays.

You can't be ten, Gus!

That would be impossible. The H5G9 virus is only...

is only nine years old.

But I think you might be onto something about your parents.

You know why?

The men noticed something on your intake exam.

You have no belly button.

- What's a... - I'd like to meet this Pubba person.

He's not here anymore.

You mean he's dead?

Yeah.

But I saw him again.

When I fell into the purple flowers.

I could see him... on the other side, or in my head.

I don't know, but...

I talked to him.

I see.

Could you find him again?

In the purple flowers?

Ready for ya.

Hey, hey, it's okay.

Hey. Hey.

I'm the only one who can protect you, Gus.

I can make those men go away.

But I need to know we can keep talking like this.

Okay?

Look. I... I'm gonna show you something.

Look. Look. Look.

I don't want what's in here.

I want what's in here.

Can I count on you, Gus?

Go.

You won't hurt more of us?

If you help me, hopefully I won't need to.

Pinky swear?

Yeah... Um...

You have my word.

But one more thing.

Gus, you made it.

Of course. I won't leave without you guys.

I brought back something too.

♪ Thank you for being a friend ♪

♪ Thank you for being a friend ♪

Whoa.

His parents played him a lot of music when he was little.

I don't know that song.

Golden Girls.

So, what did they want from you?

Nothing much.

But... I think I bought us some more time.

Thank you.

Who are you?

You go first.

Where's Judy?

Judy's fine.

Then put her on.

Wait, are you...

Are you who I think you are?

Depends.

How did you get in my attic?

Holy shit, it is you.

I... I'm with Gus.

Gus.

Not with-with him. He ran away when he found out you weren't really his...

Hello?

Who are you? How do you know Gus?

I'm Becky.

And Gus...

is a long story.

Is Richard with you?

No, he's...

He's gone.

There's another guy now.

Jepperd.

Wait.

How long have you had that phone activated?

I don't know. A few hours?

I would start hiding if I were you.

I don't understand. Just tell me where you are.

No. That phone has a tracker on it.

The minute you turned it on, it got activated.

Just tell me where you are. We can come to you.

How much does he know?

A lot.

Everything.

I don't know.

What's he like?

You should see him.

He turned into a great kid.

Did he find my tape?

What tape?

Shady Grove.

I recorded a message on a cassette and hid it in the attic.

What's a cassette again?

It's like a... like a tape.

- Did you have VHS? - No.

Come on, hurry. We don't know who's tracking that phone.

Wait, is it this?

No, no, but we're getting warmer.

- Like a thumb drive? - It's bigger than that.

I think I...

...found it.

They're here.

Who?

Last Men.

Take that stuff, and... and you get out of here.

No way. I'm right behind you.

No!

Wait.

Open this door!

Open it!

Only one of us is gonna make it out of here alive.

And it should be you.

Judy! Open this door!

You gotta get that tape to Gus.

Have a life.

Be a teenager for once. You deserve it.

It was nice to meet you, Becky.

Thank you, Judy.

We know you're in there. Open the door or we break it down!

It's nice to meet you too.

Shoulda knocked.

Get off my property!

Going in, sir!

Move! Get out here now!

Nice try.

Ah!

No, no, no!

This is a story about the last men.

The ones who quietly worked to save us all...

...but who refused to go quietly.

Tear it apart if you have to.

Search everywhere!

- My orders! - Sir!
