What is the strongest force in the world?

If you were a layperson, you might say gravity.

If you were a high school student,

you might say electromagnetism.

If you were a physicist,

you might say nuclear.

But you would all be wrong.

Because the strongest force in the world

is the force of nature.

_

No way.

Your grandpa does not listen to punk.

I swear. My grandma...

Nature contains us all.

We are nature.

Cogs in a massive machine, playing our part.

... my grandpa would just be like...

Playing more than our part.

We, as a race, think we can escape

its pronouncements, skirt its rulings,

sneak past its guards.

It gives no consideration to wants or needs,

feelings or sentiment.

We think we can steal from it

and come away with its bounty without consequence.

But it contains us

from our beginning to our end.

The biological imperative that all organisms must survive...

to seek food, water, shelter, to procreate...

is the only reasonable offset

to the crushing power of nature.

Huck says the military

blew all the bridges over the Mississippi

when things went back.

Means we'll need a boat.

Crossing's gonna be tough.

And the terrain on the other side,

it's a lot rougher than anything we've seen so far.

You sure you're ready to do this?

No.

We really should... turn back.

Yeah, yeah. No, you've finally convinced us.

Ha.

Hey, Elton, you wanna give me a hand back here?

I got these lines all tangled up.

Yeah. Sure.

_

There is no tangle, is there?

Look, I think this is the easiest route back around The Blaze.

Huck and I...

we're gonna bring it up to the others soon,

once you help us lay some groundwork

and make the others see that if we don't do this...

Well, I ne... I never... I never said I was in.

Yeah, but, you never said that you weren't.

The Mississippi is our last chance...

for us to... all get home safe.

It just is.

And I need you to help me get Silas

and the girls to see that, you understand?

What makes you think that they'd listen?

Because they care about you,

just like you care about them.

That's gotta count for something, right?

Yet even with our resolute will to survive,

nature will end us, because that is its law.

Death... inevitable.

Extinction...

just another of its rules,

another part of the life cycle of the very old world

churning with energy.

There's no escape from the inescapable.

There is no respite from the unceasing.

It makes its choices for us.

In short...

accept the wind.

It always wins.

Wow.

So many options.

I don't even know where to start.

Any updates?

Elton's with us.

Maybe.

In a perfect world,

we'd have one more of them on our side, but...

this is it. This is the only angle we got.

I know.

That's why I'm thinking ahead to Plan B.

Hell, maybe it doesn't have to be all or nothing.

What do you mean?

I mean, if Corduroy gets Silas to see the light,

best way to keep 'em safe

might be if one of us keeps going with the girls

while the other takes back the boys.

Mm.

Just puttin' it out there.

Yeah, well...

Maybe we still got some time

to change some hearts and minds, huh.

Seems the locals used these boats to evacuate

when things got hairy.

It's likely we're looking at the last of them.

Then we'll get creative.

Build our own.

It's not exactly what I was getting at with...

Cool.

Let's do it.

Really?

You're gonna build a boat?

Well...

what if it's more of a...

remodel?

Seems a bit precarious, don't you think?

Could work.

If we fix it up... add stuff.

There was a warehouse further north.

See if there's stuff in there we can use.

I say we hit it.

This place looks turned out.

Maybe... maybe not.

Uh, split up and keep looking?

_

- Hi. - Hi.

- A lot of stuff. - Yeah.

Let's get some lights.

Oh, careful. It's very, very old.

Even older than you?

Older than pretty much everything.

One night when I was 10,

I was trying to take a photo of Mars,

and that fleeeeew across the sky.

Do you know what that is, Elton?

It's a meteor.

It's a bunch of chunk of rock flying through space

at thousands of miles an hour,

faster than anything you've seen.

And when the meteor touches the air around the Earth,

it starts to burn up,

kind of like how when you rub your hands together, they get hot.

Like this?

Yeah.

And sometimes,

the meteor makes it all the way to the ground.

Then what happens?

That's what made all the dinosaurs go away.

- This giant ball of fire just c... - Isaac.

- Wh... - He's 5.

If he wants to learn, Amelia, he should learn.

It's never too early for science, right?

Elt... Elton, come here.

You want to feel something?

Come here. Come here. Wait.

Right here?

Is that my little sister?

Yeah! She's kicking.

Oh, wait, I... I think she's also saying,

"I can't wait to meet you."

If you're gonna teach him about departures,

I'm gonna teach him about arrivals.

It's only fair. Oh.

And my staff meeting at the U just got moved up.

Oh.

I have to go.

I know. I'm sorry, baby.

Be safe. There's...

Heard something's going on near the hospital.

There's a lot of police activity.

Okay.

I want to get another one like that for my Esmerelda today.

Who?

My sister. That's what I'm naming her.

Oh.

Okay, yeah, maybe... we can talk about that.

Well, a bracelet is a very sweet gift, honey.

I will see you soon.

Okay.

I love you both.

Bye.

Alright.

Come here, noodle.

Let's do some work.

I'm gonna give you my favorite brush.

- Thank you. - Blow on it.

Good. Blow on it.

Ready?

Yes.

Go with the grain.

That's... That's the grain.

Good, good. Give it a little...

Yeah.

You can't tell until...

Ah-ha.

Okay, we have barrels for floatation,

straps for binding, fastening.

A fan blade that could make a good propeller.

And I spotted a shit-ton of pallets outside.

Uh, got these, too.

So, you're saying, we're in business?

Except we don't have an engine.

There's nothing to fight the current.

There's not much left here,

other than some long-dead batteries,

huge broken air conditioner,

a couple of bags of sand.

W... Uh, h-hold on.

The A.C.

I read about how those work. We could use the parts

and make some sort of, um...

What's that called. A steam boiler.

It'd be like the still you made back at the University.

It's like the dorm furnaces I had to fix.

I guess.

It's worth a shot, right?

A'ight, then.

Let's get to work.

Hey.

Thanks.

It's really coming together.

Yeah.

Looking great.

It's funny.

Working on this boat,

it kinda makes it seem more possible.

Finding my dad.

I mean, the river's probably the last big thing in our way.

And once we cross it...

It's... It's all downhill from here.

Hey.

Come here.

Look, the closer we get to finishing this boat,

the harder it's gonna be to sway the others, so...

You wanna make the pitch now?

Yeah. Yeah, I think I should start things off,

then you an Elton come in with the backup.

Hey, I know you're just looking out for 'em, but...

But... ?

Maybe it's time to let this plan go.

What are you talking about

"time to let this plan go?"

You know that this is the only way

that we get everyone back safe.

Hey, is it true?

You're working behind our backs, trying to get us to turn around?

I... Hold on, what...

Hey. What's going on?

Him and Felix.

They've been working against us together,

trying to make us do a 180.

No way. He's committed to this.

Hope, Elton is not working with Felix...

Yes, I am. Sort of.

- Can we just talk about this here? - Pass.

You've been trying to screw us over

with Elton as your little sidekick.

What was your Plan B, huh?

Maybe sabotage the boat to make us to back?!

No, of course not.

Listen, h-h-he and I have been talking,

and I agree with a lot of what he says, alright?

- It j... m-makes sense. - You mean about going back?

Seriously?

What the hell happened to seeing the world from start to finish?

Listen to me.

Yes, I was gonna have us take the boat downriver,

then head back up along the banks of the Missouri

until we reached the University.

It's safer than cutting through The Blaze,

and it's the smartest thing for us right now.

We don't know where we're going.

We don't know what we're gonna do if an when we get there.

We don't even know

that you're dad's really in trouble!

Hell, for all we know,

he could've sent us 10 messages back at the University

right now from him telling us that he's just fine!

- You don't even believe that. - It doesn't matter what I believe.

He made me promise him that I would keep you safe,

- and that is exactly what I'm doing. - You care more about a promise

- than you do about his life?! - Calm down, alright.

- That is not what I'm saying! - Stop! Stop!

- Yes, it is! - We don't have time for this!

There is still so much left to do!

And you know what, leave your shit at the door.

Because without each and every one of us giving 100%...

we're not making it across that river.

See anything that could be fuel?

Just driftwood, driftwood, and more driftwood.

Better than nothin'.

Let's grab it all.

I can't believe he would try and mess with Elton's head like that.

A-Actually, I can.

They were only trying to do

what they felt was best for everybody.

Not something you can fault them for.

I can fault them for being shady.

You know what, I can fault them for what you just said, too.

Whatever. They deserve it.

So whose side are you on?

I heard what you said to him about calling it off.

Not gonna lie.

For a while...

a long while, yeah,

I was all for bringing you back.

But now... I don't know.

This thing we're doing right now,

going across country, is big,

maybe the biggest thing we'll ever do.

It's shit like this that makes us stronger...

makes us better.

Okay.

So everybody knows how I got to the City.

They found me floating down the Missouri in a raft,

arm broken, messed up,

not sure if I was coming or going.

Next thing I know, they're calling me Huck.

Not that I mind.

It's kinda cool, right?

There's a lot I leave out of that story.

The days of not knowing if I was gonna live or die.

How close I came to giving up.

Letting the water just take me away.

Never woulda lived long enough

for Omaha security to pick me up...

if I didn't keep pushing...

every single moment.

Shit.

- I'm sorry. - Nah.

Don't be.

It pushes me to overcome...

to be stronger, better.

Maybe that's what this whole thing is for you.

The others, too.

Even Felix.

Maybe you should tell him that.

I was about to.

Then Hurricane Hope struck.

And, um... maybe it's not my place to tell him that.

Maybe he's gotta figure it out for himself.

His own way.

Let me get a word with her alone real quick.

- I know you're pissed off... - I am.

The thing is...

I'm more pissed at myself.

Why's that?

For being dumb enough to think that we could turn you.

That I could turn you.

My dad first took you in, I was so excited.

Iris, too.

We thought we were gonna get a brother,

but we never got one because you never acted like one.

Dad gave you every chance to be a real part of the family,

and you never took it.

We're not your sisters. We're your problems.

All you had to do

was be the one to tell him not to go.

He trusted you more than anyone!

- He would've listened. - Hope, I couldn't.

You know what, no, it's cool!

I get it.

You had your reasons.

But still, I-I hoped.

You know?

But joke's on me.

You are who you are.

Guess it's time for me to grow up.

Fire's not hot enough.

This shit ain't cutting it.

It's the best we could find.

Well, I don't know what to tell you.

Well, there has to be something.

The nail polish box back at the warehouse,

it said it was flammable.

Alright. You and Elton take care of that.

We'll finish up here.

Maybe double time it, huh?

I don't like the sound of that.

We should grab what we can fast.

Yeah.

Whoa.

Well, that doesn't quite live up to its hype, now does it?

Uh-uh.

Wow.

Nope.

So, this was your plan?

You really want to get into this now?

I'm not mad.

Hmm.

- I'm just... - Disappointed?

Do you really think my dad is safe?

This rope's still got some use in it.

Felix.

Yes.

I think they're safe.

Leo and Will.

They have to be safe.

What do you mean?

I was supposed to be the one to go with your dad, alright?

Not Will.

Your dad asked me to stay behind

and watch after you and Hope...

and so Will took my place.

And that is why they have to be.

I'm not there to protect them if they aren't.

I mean, I knew all that, but...

I didn't know how you felt about it.

Guess I didn't think it mattered.

What, b-being honest?

That matters.

When everything's burning down,

it is the only thing that matters.

Well, we should go.

Come on.

What?

I just don't want anybody to die.

And yes, I know death is inevitable,

but is it so horrible to try to put it off

for just a little bit longer?

The notion of fear is... is biologically obsolete.

It's just the body's chemical reaction to risk,

so if you can understand risk on a conscious level,

then there is no need f... for fear.

Okay.

You have to listen to me, okay, Elton?

I need you to stay inside this box

and be as quiet as you can,

and you can't leave, no matter what, okay?

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go find us a safe way home.

And I'm gonna lock that door from the outside

so nothing can hurt you.

Okay?

And to be extra sure...

This is a very special horn.

Okay?

It keeps anyone who's holding it safe forever.

So go ahead and hold it.

Hold onto it tight, okay?

I'm scared.

Don't be.

I'm not scared, okay?

And you shouldn't be, either.

It's all gonna work out the way it's supposed to, right?

I love you, Elton.

I love you, too.

It's okay.

Weird.

Is your skin tingling?

Get down!

- Shit. - The hell did that come from?

Felix...

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

- It's getting closer. - I know.

Where the hell are Silas and Elton?

Shit!

That's a positive strike.

Positive strikes can happen

20 miles away from the storm's center.

Judging by the wind direction,

we're minutes away from being in the line of fire.

Come on!

Hey, there's a...

Lightning storm headed this way real fast.

- Yeah, we know. - Empties, too.

Couple dozen of them, maybe 15 minutes out.

There's not enough time. We need to take cover.

The rising water will wash the boat away.

We can't risk that.

Okay, so we launch before the shit hits.

Where are Silas and Elton?

Whoa.

I swear, that wasn't on purpose.

Come on.

- Ow! - What happened?

- Damn it! - You okay?

I-I'm good. I'm good.

Here they come.

Thanks.

- Yes. - Alright.

Whoa.

No.

Alright. Add another problem.

Elton, throw me your fisherman.

The drive belt's come loose.

Can we fix it?

If somebody can fit down there and reattach it...

I can't.

I-I-I'm claustrophobic.

Elton.

Elton, please.

You can do it, Elton.

Mercury, Venus,

Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter...

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars...

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn!

O-Okay!

I'm stuck!

I'm stuck! Help!

Alright.

This is a very special horn.

It keeps whomever's holding it safe.

You're alright.

- You okay? - I'm okay, I think. Th-Th-Thank you.

Thank you.

Now we just gotta get this thing in the water.

We don't have enough fuel to keep the propeller running.

Not to mention them.

Let's move.

Everybody ready?

One three. One, two, three.

Come on! We can do this!

Again! One, two, three.

No! No. There's no time.

We have to drop the boat and make a run for it.

- The boat won't make it. - We won't make it.

Watch out. Come on.

I can't do this by myself. Let's go.

Come on, everyone.

Everybody, keep going.

Come on.

- It's moving. - It's moving. It's going.

Come on!

Come on! It's almost there.

- Go, go, go! - Go!

Aaaaaah!

Get up! Come on. Come here! Get up. Get up!

You good?

- Hey. - We did it.

Why'd you do it?

What?

We would've ditched the boat.

I mean, that would've given you more time to turn us around.

Yeah, well, that woulda done zero good.

And you and your sister...

you really are stubborn as shit.

You know that, right?

Look who's talking.

Huck thinks this'll be good for us.

That it'll turn us into the people

that we're supposed to be.

We'll see.

And for what it's worth...

... it was never just about...

a promise I made to your dad.

I need you to know that.

I do.

For what it's worth, leaving those clues behind

wasn't just so you'd come and turn us around.

I was also hoping that...

Your here now, alright.

So, whatever.

So, I take it you're just...

you're just good with us moving forward?

We'll keep 'em safe,

and when we find Leo and Will, keep 'em safe, too.

Yeah.

- But for now... - Yeah.

... I say we divide and conquer.

What do you mean?

Hey, listen up. Everybody.

I'm gonna spend the next day or two scouting ahead.

Our intel's weak for this side of the river,

and you're only as solid as your intel.

You're going off?

- On your own? - Don't sweat it.

I'll be back, 48 hours max.

Promise.

Till then... you're in good hands.

_

Here's the thing...

Nature accounted for everything about the human race

except our self awareness.

Because we know we can change.

We can act in ways nature wasn't expecting.

Wasn't ready for.

No.

Clear!

So every now and again,

that lets us see the path through the wind,

even if it's just for a moment.

And sometimes...

a moment is all you need.

_

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

The Night the Sky Fell...

... my father told me not to be scared.

He said that he wasn't scared,

and that I shouldn't be, either.

But he was.

Probably more than he'd ever been in his entire life.

But...

that didn't stop him from doing what needed to be done.

He was brave because he was scared...

not in spite of it.

I wish I could've met your dad.

And your mom.

They must've been pretty cool to make a kid like you.

I-I know it's... crazy to even say,

and the odds against it are astronomical.

I sometimes think that she's still out there...

somewhere.

With my sister, Esmerelda.

Both surviving together.

That's not so crazy to me.

It's an empty.

I can do it.

Be right behind you.

I got this.
