Original subtitles

They say when you die,

your life flashes before your eyes.

The people you loved...

The good moments...

And the bad...

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

My memories are a confusing blur.

Maybe it's for the best.

Because right now, my life is something I'd rather forget.

As cases surge globally

more than tripling in the last week,

most governments have issued shelter in place orders

for all non-essential workers.

Despite ongoing uncertainty as to the virus' source,

the scientific community agrees, the transmission occurs-

Hey, you all right?

Jesus Christ.

Another alert.

Nearby.

We left too late.

The three early warning signs of infection

are severe headaches-

Ethan, I can drive.

Hello?

Emma!

Where is everyone?

Hello!

Emma!

Hello!

Hey, hey!

You lost?

Yeah, I just woke up, I don't know where the fuck I am.

Come on, get out here!

Okay.

Shit.

You blind bitch.

I don't even know these guys,

I'm just looking for my girlfriend.

Stop staring, it's rude.

You shouldn't be out here alone.

You are.

Yeah. Well, I'm not an idiot.

Okay.

I was in a car accident, I was with Emma,

we were driving to the lake.

Yes!

Where are we?

Gimme a hand.

What if he wakes up?

Happy?

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I just...

Look who finally woke up.

How's your head?

I'm...

I'm Mae.

I'm Ethan.

You sure?

I've got amnesia.

No shit.

I left some clothes for you on top of the dresser.

You must have missed them.

Unless this is a style choice.

I'll be right back.

Ooh, looking good.

It smells delicious.

It's not ready, do not touch it.

My generator.

Kinetic energy.

Clever boy.

So what do you remember?

My girlfriend and I gathered our supplies

and headed to our cabin.

We were gonna wait it out there.

It's isolated, safe.

And hopefully she's there waiting for me.

A piece of advice, keep your amnesia to yourself.

People today are looking for weaknesses in others.

What happened?

Well, we've been threatening

to let viruses wipe us out for years.

One finally called our bluff.

Some say it's the planet's attempt to reclaim balance

by killing us all off.

In days?

How is that possible?

Nature's a powerful bitch.

Fuck!

I'll be right back.

Don't touch anything.

Mae?

I should probably head out.

Hey!

What did I say?

Don't touch anything!

Who are you?

Mae?

Mae, there's something or someone over there.

That's Myrtle, she's fine, just don't get too close.

Shouldn't we-

I said she's fine.

Live and let live.

Geez.

Can I help?

You an expert with generators?

Actually, I think I am.

Have at it.

Well, what do you think?

First of all, whoever set this up is an idiot.

No offense.

None taken.

Way to go!

Hey, hey, hey.

That ego of yours is going to your head.

Okay, come on, let's move it and shake it.

Mae, I wasn't kidding, I need to go and find Emma.

We're gonna to eat good tonight.

Is that a possum?

Are you alone out here?

Most days.

You have a husband?

You got a point?

Oh, just wondering if it's safe out here alone.

I'm not alone, I got Myrtle.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill you.

I know.

Besides, look at me,

you could beat me to death with ease.

I don't want that.

But do not go snooping around,

unless you have a death wish, okay?

Because every room in here is booby-trapped.

I mean it.

Define booby-

Jesus!

What are you doing?

Shoot me.

No.

Good boy.

You see that?

Red means dead.

If you pulled that trigger, I'd be dead right now.

Hungry?

That was really good.

It's getting kind of late, I should probably-

Ethan, you know, I hate to ask you this,

but I could just really use your help.

With what?

♪ Ah

♪ And I don't hardly know her

♪ But think I could love her

♪ Crimson and clover

♪ Ah

♪ When she come walking over

♪ Now I've been waitin' to show her ♪

You gotta be kidding me.

♪ Crimson and clover

♪ Over and over

♪ Yeah

♪ My, my such a sweet thing

♪ I wanna do everything

♪ What a beautiful feeling

♪ Crimson and clover

♪ Over and over

Mae, it's late, I should hit the road.

Really?

You're gonna let an old lady dance all by herself?

♪ Crimson and clover over and over ♪

♪ Crimson and clover over and over ♪

♪ Crimson and clover over and over ♪

♪ Crimson and clover over and over ♪

♪ Crimson and clover over and over ♪

Listen, Mae, I should probably-

You play cards?

Two of hearts.

No, thanks, I'm good.

Harder to kill when you're sober.

That's okay.

I love a challenge.

Maybe you've had enough.

Bullshit.

Gotcha.

I used to be good at this game.

Yeah, well, you're a terrible liar.

Your face, no secrets. - Yeah?

What about your face?

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

Yeah.

It's getting late.

Mae, I appreciate you taking me in, feeding me,

but I promised Emma-

Nothing good happens after dark, Ethan.

I promised Emma, I would protect her.

Have a good night's sleep.

We'll find her tomorrow.

Trust me, Myrtle is the least of your worries out there.

This is where you say thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Go to bed.

Say it back.

If we ever get separated, meet at the cabin, Candle Lake.

Got it.

Wake up.

Emma.

Emma!

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Drop it.

Sam.

Stay there, honey.

I don't want any trouble.

I'm just looking for my girlfriend.

- Emma? - Yes.

Have you seen her? - No.

You are out there yelling her name like an idiot.

Okay.

Eyes closed.

Yeah?

How is it still alive?

I bashed its skull in.

Alive.

That's generous.

Out here, most are pretty far gone,

more plant than people now,

so yeah, head kills don't really work.

If I had any bullets, you'd already be dead.

Oh, appreciate the honesty.

What do they want?

Same as any of us, I guess.

Food.

Mostly food.

I'm Jolene.

That's my son, Sam.

Ethan.

Where'd you get a cast?

I was in an accident and my girlfriend Emma,

she's a doctor.

A doctor.

That's lucky.

When's the last time you saw her?

A few days.

I hate to break it to you,

but we have been here for weeks and I haven't seen anyone,

except the plant parade.

She'll be here.

This is our spot.

Yeah, don't be so sure.

It's just...

Hope is dangerous.

He thinks his dad is coming back.

What happened to him?

The same thing that happened to everyone.

I made a choice.

Distract me, Ethan, tell me something good.

Like what?

You and Emma.

This may sound weird, and I know it's not true,

but I feel like I've known her my whole life.

When I close my eyes and I think of her,

it's not the big moments that stand out,

it's the dumb little things.

I think of how we take care of each other, amuse each other,

even in the bad times.

Unfortunately, in our dumpster fire of a world,

the bad times started to overshadow the good.

Wherever you turned, people were at their worst,

violent, cruel, fed up.

Honestly, when I heard the virus was plant-based,

I wasn't surprised.

It's like the planet finally had enough of our shit.

Hey.

After the deadliest day yet,

social media is dubbing the infected, "The Reclaimed"

based on a popular conspiracy theory

that nature is purging itself from mankind's destruction.

Disturbing visuals are going viral at an alarming rate.

Is she okay?

Shit, that looks bad.

Excuse me.

Whatever this is, it's not turning around.

We need to get the hell outta here.

Tonight.

We got out.

I remember that much.

Ethan.

Ethan. - Yeah?

You can sleep.

I'm good.

Honestly, I'll take the first watch.

I'm not even tired.

Ethan.

Yeah.

If you mess with me or my kid, I'll kill you.

Okay?

Ethan, what's wrong?

If anything goes sideways, meet at the cabin.

Wake up.

Ethan!

Hey, just try to relax.

Was that a person?

Used to be.

Was that necessary?

Yeah, actually.

These things are unstoppable.

I just bought us some time.

Stay here.

Find what you're looking for?

My name is Mae by the way.

Hi, baby.

If you're watching this, I'm guessing we're apart.

You're probably confused.

Well, more so than usual.

Your amnesia, your amnesia is getting worse.

Erratic.

I keep losing you.

I mean, I don't know if I can keep this up.

The world isn't what it used to be.

People are changing for the worst.

I guess what I'm saying is if you're lost

and I'm not with you-

- No, no, no! - Hey, hey!

Don't do that!

You will draw them out, I'm serious.

I'm serious.

I have a charger back at my place.

It's okay, come on, let's go.

Wow, nice truck.

Well, it would be

if some idiot hadn't drained the battery.

What?

I'm gonna wipe your face.

Sorry I was weird back there.

I have amnesia. - Yeah, I know.

We've done this before.

We have?

How are you feeling?

My head is swimming.

I'm Ethan, by the way.

Mae, like I said.

Well, let's charge that phone of yours, shall we?

Oh, shit.

Fuck!

Can you get another pair?

Do you know how many people I had to kill

for that prescription?

Hop on.

Hop on?

Get on the back of the bike.

Let's go.

Come on.

Steady right there.

Okay, put your feet up. - Okay.

Lift your feet up.

They're up, they're up.

How far is your house? - Far enough.

You wanna switch?

You're dreaming if I think I'm gonna let you drive.

My feet are killing me.

I hope this stupid girl of yours is worth it.

She is.

What's so funny?

I don't know, you just seem so fired up.

I am.

I'm not stopping until I find her.

Don't you have anyone?

Sort of.

He died.

I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

What's your story?

What's my story?

Are you serious?

Do you really care or are you just making small talk?

I need a distraction from my thoughts, I guess.

At least you're honest.

My story.

I don't know.

I live alone.

I have a great garden.

I hunt and I take in strangers.

Tell me something personal, something real.

I'm lonely and kind of wish I was dead.

- That's a- - An overshare?

An overshare.

You asked me.

You okay?

This is not a test.

This is the emergency alert system

reporting a mandatory evacuation order

for all local residents.

Gather food, water, and medical supplies.

Okay, 30 seconds tops.

This place looks sketchy.

Well?

What do you think?

Admit it, we're fucked.

We'll be okay, I'll protect us.

More like the other way around.

Emma!

You actually did it!

Don't sound so surprised.

You okay?

My name is Mae.

I know.

I must have tripped is all.

No, you passed out, that's what happened.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

I'm just hungry, I think.

Finally.

What?

Hey!

We're armed.

Get out or I will shoot you!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Please, I rather you didn't.

I just, I saw your house, you had power.

I just, I figured-

- You'd break in. - No, I knocked.

But you know how it is, it could have been abandoned.

I'm Tom.

And you are?

Skeptical.

That's fair.

'Sup?

You alone?

I lost my wife, like somewhere in the area

and I'm just, I'm looking for her, you know?

You got a gun?

No.

Out here you don't have a gun, are you fucking stupid?

Come on, lady, now you're just being mean.

I have one gun.

Just one. - Just one?

That's it.

I promise.

Pat him down.

You wanna tell your mom to chill out?

She's not my mom.

Look, I didn't come here for any trouble, all right?

I'm just, I'm looking for answers.

And honestly, any food you could spare,

I mean, you know how tough it is out here, right?

Or maybe you don't.

I mean, you have kale.

You know, Tom, trust is earned.

One hot meal in exchange for one chore.

You got it?

Yeah.

Define chore.

Well, I hate to ask, but it's rare

that I have two strong men at my disposal.

There's a few things I can't do by myself.

I'm yours.

Hey, did you also think she was gonna ask for a three-way?

What?

No.

I'm just kidding.

How do you two know each other?

I lost someone too.

She's helping me find her.

Sorry to hear.

You all right?

I'm gonna go take a leak, I'll be back in one second.

Hey, boys.

Wow, lemonade.

Fresh lemons.

- Anything else in here? - Just poison.

Who's hungry?

Hey, do you have anywhere I can wash up?

Yeah, there's a sink right here.

Help yourself. - Thank you.

It smells great.

Thank you.

Say you're not hungry.

I'm starving, I can barely see straight.

Say you're not hungry.

I'll cook for you later. - Mae.

Do what I fucking say.

Let's eat.

God damn, Mae, I haven't eaten like this in years.

You're welcome.

Wow.

Hello.

Is that your stomach?

Are you sure you don't want any?

I'm good.

I'm just not hungry.

Why don't we finish this bottle of wine off?

What do you think?

Me and you?

Who am I to say no?

Welcome.

I'm gonna clear these plates.

Let me, excuse me, let me grab that from you.

Thank you.

When was the last time you saw her, your girl?

I don't know you.

Has it been days, weeks?

This is Frannie, Fran, my lady.

She wouldn't fall prey to the reclaimed,

but she just disappeared 10 days ago.

She was foraging in the area,

mentioned seeing a house with power.

That's the last time I saw her.

In old times, if you were gone for two weeks,

I mean, you're considered dead.

There's no question about it.

But now, with no communication, you never know,

your person, they could be out there for years.

And unfortunately, the reality is sometimes

you're better off not finding them at all.

Hey, it's okay.

Let's get you into the other room.

Come on.

You're gonna need to eat something, my friend.

- Hey. - I just need to take a nap.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

Help me get him up.

Hey, hey.

Okay.

Hey, Mae.

I will take that gun.

This is a nice piece of hardware, grandma.

I'll take that back when you're done, of course.

But of course.

What did you do to him?

I promise you, I'm not fucking around.

You do think I'm stupid.

No.

I think you're sleepy.

You did it.

You crazy bitch, you did poison me.

No, I sedated you.

Fun fact about Ativan.

Yeah?

It works way past its expiration date,

but it does have some side effects.

Yeah, what's that?

Headaches.

Ethan, Ethan.

Hey, hey, stay with me, okay?

Stay with me.

I'll be right back.

Fuck.

Ethan, it's okay, stay calm, I'll be right there.

Tom.

Tom.

Coming, Ethan.

Mae, run!

I hope you don't mind, we let ourselves in.

Grab the gun.

It's insulin.

I'm a diabetic.

Keep lying.

Maybe we should shoot him.

See how she reacts.

Yeah, go ahead, see if I care.

He's just another sucker.

Wait, wait.

No.

We're gonna search this entire house

and we're gonna find some proof that Frannie was here.

And then we're gonna fucking kill you.

You, let's go.

I'm gonna search every room in this house.

Wolf, watch her.

She's a lot.

I'm telling you, Ethan, she drugged us,

she killed our wives.

You don't know that.

Wake up, kid!

She's not who you think she is.

We just gotta find proof.

I'll make it quick if you help speed this up.

Where's the fun in that?

That's my kind of girl.

God dammit!

Next room!

What's in the barn?

Dirt.

She's nervous.

No, it's just my resting bitch face.

Let's see about that.

Keep an eye on her.

Hey, this will go a lot faster if you helped.

Is that yours?

It was Emma's.

Sorry to hear that, brother.

Let's go do something about it.

Hey, I think I found something.

Hey, Mae, you wanna explain this?

What are these, kill trophies?

Wait.

Tom.

What?

Isn't that Frannie's?

Hey, hey, Ethan.

Ethan, put the gun down.

You killed Emma.

No.

No, I didn't.

Is she dead?

Ethan.

Look at me.

Is she dead?

When?

A long, long time ago.

Grab Wolf.

Let's finish this.

How long have I had amnesia?

You have amnesia?

That's very interesting, Mae.

Hey, kid, can you tell me about your accident?

Did you break your arm?

You remember?

Can you tell me about it?

I'll take that.

What are we gonna find in there?

Is that where you put her?

My wife?

You tell him or I will.

Tell me what?

Hey, Wolf, what'd you find?

Am I sick?

No, you're not.

You're not sick, Ethan.

You're dead.

Hey.

It's Hunter!

Just try to breathe.

You said you wanted your gun back, right?

Let's start with the bullets.

It's okay.

Don't worry, you won't remember.

Hey.

How'd you sleep?

Good, I think.

Do you remember me?

No.

Do you know who I am?

A friend?

We're running out of food.

I need to hunt, I could use your help.

Sure.

Get dressed.

I'll meet you downstairs.

Hey, where'd you go?

Where'd I what?

You gotta stay with me, okay?

Don't, just leave it.

You should go.

Leave me.

Never, you hear me?

Okay, just try to keep up.

If there's anyone, just let me do the talking.

Hello?

We come in peace.

Says a gal with a gun.

It's for protection.

Oh, I understand.

In fact, I got some protection of my own.

Not that.

I was referring to the skilled, tiny person with a pistol

pointed at your heads.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Why don't we start with some introductions?

I'm Kai.

That's my home.

And that pretty darling right there is Caroline.

I like to call her, "Little Miss Never Miss."

I'm Emma, and this is Ethan.

She always do all the talking, Ethan?

I can speak for myself.

I'd say that too.

We'd be grateful for anything, for food, shelter.

Please.

Where you coming from?

We were in a crash.

Either of you sick?

Prove it.

Take your clothes off.

That's my offer, take it or leave it.

Pants too.

Come on, man.

You happy?

I don't know, what do you think, Caroline?

They look normal.

Normal.

Run in and tell mama bear we have some company.

Why are they naked?

You know why.

What's our motto?

Trust, but verify.

Trust, but verify, that's right.

'Cause of what happened to Bobby.

Run inside now.

You can get dressed.

Go ahead.

There are rules, you break 'em, you're gone, or worse.

- Understood. - Good.

Let's get you kids fed.

You okay?

Thank you, sweetheart.

I imagine you two are thirsty.

We have a well on the property,

it's not pretty, but it's safe.

Unless you like something a bit stronger.

No, thank you.

Nice cabinet.

Oh, yeah, we had a barn collapse on the property.

You know, just the usual decay and time.

I didn't want to let her go so I dismantled and denailed

and before you know it, I got a coffee table here

and shelves there.

I reclaimed it.

Kind of like what the planet's doing to us,

if you believe what the news says, which I don't.

"The Reclaimed."

I mean, for wood, it makes sense,

you know, you repurpose something that's lost,

but for people, nah.

Seems a bit defeatist.

Maybe we deserve it.

I mean, look at what we've done to this planet,

to each other.

You're not a religious person, are you Emma?

"Though He slay me, I hope in Him"

It's Job, Chapter 13 from the Bible.

That's a dangerous thing, you know,

thinking the worst about people,

especially in times like these.

Easy for you to say.

After the last couple weeks, hope is in short supply.

You know, I'm sure you two have seen

your share of horrible things,

but I can assure you,

you do not have the market cornered on suffering.

Anyway, maybe this thing, whatever it is, is a wake up call,

put us back into our places.

Now, think about it, think about the last 100 years,

50 years, what we're capable of.

Maybe this is forcing us to get back to what matters,

what's simple, faith, the land, the water, family.

Papa, dinner soon.

Anyway, I'm sorry, I get a little philosophical

when I drink.

All right, let's eat.

Hey, hey, sit.

You're gonna spook the deer.

Finally, got one.

It's close, but you got the heart wrong.

Yeah, yeah.

I ran out of red markers.

How many times?

Ethan, it's complicated.

- I have time. - No, you don't have time.

You need to feed.

You actually did it.

Don't sound so surprised.

Ethan!

Your body is changing

And when you feed, it halts the process,

and then you remember.

Please, no!

It's okay, it's okay.

Don't look, it's okay, it's okay.

Ethan.

Stay with me.

Stop that starin', Caroline.

Yes, Papa.

Our guests are starving, sweetheart.

Now, these are real farm to table,

grown right outside in the back.

It looks amazing, doesn't it?

It sure does.

It's the least we could do

after Caroline pulled a gun on you.

Oh, we're well past that, right, Caroline?

Shall we say grace?

Actually, maybe I should wash up.

- Oh. - Oh.

Where are my manners?

Upstairs, second door to the left.

We'll be right back.

Are you sure they're okay, sweetie.

Lord, these are troubled times.

We've been led astray.

Now, more than ever, your flock needs guidance.

Over to you sweetheart.

Bless us, oh Lord,

for these gifts that we are about to receive

from the bounty of Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Amen.

I can't do this.

Yes, yes, you can.

I'm gonna buy us some time, okay?

Don't leave.

Look at me.

Never, okay?

Hey, I'll be right back.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Thank you again for your hospitality.

Of course.

We're happy to.

Sweetheart, why don't you to take Caroline and go outside?

Kai.

Sit down.

Kai, maybe we should talk about this.

Do it now, go on.

It's okay, sweetheart.

It's okay, love.

Put your filthy hands on the table.

Ethan needed to use the restroom.

Where is your gun?

You know, I don't know all the symptoms,

but that boy's lost.

He's soulless.

Doesn't even know his name.

He's got that amnesia.

- If maybe we could just- - He don't look sick.

Just tired.

Is that how you fool all your victims,

all the innocent people like me and my family?

Is that what you do?

How long you been feeding him?

He's all I have left.

Oh, you are the devil.

You are.

Does he even know what he is?

Does he?

See, you're just as infected as he is, with weakness.

Ethan.

Are you okay, dear?

Emma.

You're Emma.

How long have you been doing this?

Too long.

Look at me.

You have to eat daily, human flesh and it can't be rotten.

I had to get creative feeding you, which actually,

thanks to your amnesia, wasn't that hard.

When you eat with regularity,

you are like the fountain of youth.

But your memory's inconsistent, unreliable.

Sometimes it returns right away,

and sometimes it takes longer.

It sounds horrible, I know, but as long as I kept you clean

and fed, we were almost okay.

For a while, we had a good thing going.

In a twisted way, it was like time stood still,

a permanent honeymoon.

Then, weeks became years,

and one day, you stopped recognizing me.

Good morning, lazy bones.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

What?

Then, I started the full-time charade.

You know, you caught on a few times.

Wait, are you Emma?

But as the years passed, less and less.

I'm a monster.

No, you're the new normal.

I'm the one facing extinction.

You should let me die.

That's the problem.

I did.

My body is broken.

I'm broken.

I can't do this anymore.

Me neither.

Ethan, stop.
