[Iris] Why do you wanna come?
I don't wanna be who everybody thinks I am here.
[Hope] We should get going, Felix is gonna be coming for us.
[Iris] Map has an airfield on the other side.
[Iris] Empties coming from the east have to go around it.
There's a tornado siren on that roof.
[Elton] If somebody could sound it it'd create a diversion.
[Iris] You wanna send someone in as bait?
[Iris] It's too dangerous for the bait.
Hi, Silas, this is your birthday tape from Pappy and Grammy.
We love you veeery much and miss you tons, kiddo.
We're so excited you're six years old now! Where'd the time go?
We want you to know you're special, Silas.
You're a sweet, thoughtful, caring young man.
We're so proud to have you as our grandson.
[Hope] Hey, sleepyheads! Wake the hell up!
[empties barking on the wind]
Hope?
[empties rasping in the distance]
-Hope, where are you? - Take a guess—we're doing Elton's plan.
[Iris] No we're not.
You are not.
I can get to the factory, sound the siren and clear a path for you guys.
It's your best chance to come out alive.
[empties rasping in the distance]
We don't even know if the siren works or if we can get it to work.
We weren't gonna risk anyone on this.
-We decided. - You decided.
[Iris] Hope, just come back.
-Please. - Chill, okay?
It's not even all that bad down here. At least not compared to your cooking!
-We will find another way, just come back. - We knew what was up when we left.
But we did it for Dad—this should be me.
It has to be—oh shit! I gotta go.
Hope.
[Iris] Are you there, Hope?
[radio static]
[Iris] Hope? Hope!
[radio static]
[Felix] We're glad you're here, Silas, and glad your uncle is sponsoring you.
You know what that means, right?
[Felix] It means you get a fresh start.
Hey.
Omaha's pretty great, okay?
[Felix] But this place, it's big without being too big.
Now, I understand that you, uhm...
You wanna work with your uncle here in the physical plant?
Instead of going to school?
Yeah, Silas here is... the hardest worker you ever want to meet.
If you ever do change your mind, Silas, school's always an option, alright?
Monument High's a great, great way to meet people your age.
Well, he appreciates the opportunity.
We both do.
He's a good kid.
No matter what anyone says, he's a good kid.
[Iris] Hope? Hope?
-Hope, are you there? - Sorry, things got hairy for a sec.
Jesus!
Listen, I'm in an office in front of the factory.
It's a straight shot from the entrance. Not too many empties.
From here I can use the siren to clear a path to the exit.
-We're on the way, just stay there. - I'll be gone by the time you get here.
Stay put, wait till you hear the siren and make a run for the exit.
- I'll meet you there. -No, stay there and I'll go with you.
I will move faster and quieter alone. You need to trust me.
Hope...
Iris! Do you trust me or not?
[empties rasping nearby]
[empties barking nearby]
-Yes. - Good.
I'll turn off my walkie until it's safe. In the meantime do exactly as I tell you.
Got it?
[empties barking nearby]
Iris!
[empties rasping nearby]
-Yes, okay, I'll do it. - Awesome.
And Iris, just one more thing.
What?
Grin, girl—I love you.
[empty wheezing nearby]
-I'm grinning. - No, you're flipping me out to the talkie.
[empties rasping nearby]
I'm grinning.
Good.
[empties rasping]
[Elton] I can see the office. It's a straight shot, just like she said.
Most of the empties are being attracted by the fires on either side.
We might still bump into a few.
[empty wheezing nearby]
We should go now.
[empties rasping nearby]
[empties grunting and rasping nearby]
[empties rasping nearby]
I hope we don't have to kill any.
But in case we do, do you think you can do it?
[empties rasping nearby]
Uhm...
I'll carry all your bags so you can kill.
So you both can.
[empties rasping nearby]
I'm strong, it's the best I can do now.
And we'll go faster this way.
[empties rasping nearby]
[empty wheezing nearby]
[Iris] Let's go.
[empties rasping nearby]
[empties rasping on the wind]
[wind rushing]
[empties rasping on the wind]
[empty rasping and wheezing]
[empty wheezing and writhing]
[Iris] Silas!
[empty wheezing]
[Iris] Let's go.
[fallen empty wheezing, empties rasping nearby]
[empties rasping nearby]
[door opening, wind rushing, empties rasping outside]
[gang coughing]
[empties rasping on the wind]
[empties rasping outside]
[empties rasping on the wind]
[Iris] Hey.
You okay?
Just got turned around, that's all.
[empties rasping on the wind]
[Iris] Till we hear from Hope we should check this place out.
See if there's anything we can use. Weapons, food, anything.
Roger that.
[empties rasping on the wind]
[wind howling, empties rasping outside]
[empties rasping outside]
[wind howling, empties rasping outside]
[empties rasping and wheezing on the wind]
[wind and empties echoing inside]
[empties echoing inside]
Shit!
[outside empties echoing inside]
[thud, clank, rattle]
[empty rasping]
[empty and another empty rasping]
[empties rasping]
[wind howling outside]
[Iris] What's up?
My mom used to buy me these.
I used to ask her to back in Omaha.
You know, before.
You miss her?
No.
[empties rasping on the wind]
[wind howling outside]
Sometimes.
You miss yours?
Every day.
[empties rasping on the wind]
So what was that out there?
[wind howling outside]
-It's okay if you're scared. -I'm not.
Not of... them.
Silas, can you give me a hand over here? Seems this door's stuck.
[empties rasping on the wind]
Hey, relax! It's me.
Felix?
-Hi. -Hi!
Hi!
[Iris] Are you okay?
Where's Hope?
Where the hell's Hope?
-[Felix] Iris? -Hmm?
Wait, so you're telling me that this was all your idea, not Hope's?
I talked her into it.
[wind howling outside]
So one of you two left the breadcrumbs?
What breadcrumbs?
Can of peaches on the street.
The graffiti—the trail one of you left behind to get us here.
-No, she didn't leave those, she wouldn't. -[Felix] You're telling me that was Hope?
[Iris] It couldn't have been on purpose.
She wants to find Dad as much as I do.
Would you just tell us where she is?
Where the siren is she's goin' for?
-I can't. -[Felix] Iris.
You're smarter than this, okay?
This is Hope's life we're talkin' about.
If I tell you where she is, you and Huck go after her and get yourselves killed.
There's a plan. This part of it is hers—I hate it.
But right now it's our best chance of getting out of here alive.
You'll just have to trust her.
-Like the rest of us. -[Huck] Need to say it.
Kid's got a point. There's a crowd of uglies incoming.
Without some kinda distraction we ain't gettin' outta here.
[empties rasping on the wind]
[Huck to Felix] Hey.
Don't worry, we can still get out of this. It's not over.
And then what?
I know how it's gonna go now. How it always goes.
[headphone music playing]
[headphone music playing, girls muttering about Silas]
[girl] Let's go.
[headphone music playing]
[Iris] Oh! Hi!
Hi.
This is my dad's lab.
I left my English Lit. homework here.
I'll get out of your hair.
See you around.
He left a week ago.
For this alliance science exchange thing. You know, with the Civic Republic.
I don't know where he is or when he'll be back.
My sister's mad at him for going.
I just miss him
Every family's got somethin', right?
Bye.
[empties rasping]
[empty rasping, banging on door]
Let's see if it's working.
Son of a motherfu—!
[wind howling outside]
[Felix] So, uh.
[Felix] Lemme get this straight.
[Felix] She wants us to find her, then all of a sudden she goes rogue?
And runs kamikaze into The Blaze? Why?
So we wouldn't have to.
[empties rasping on the wind]
To spare me the responsibility.
I don't know what's going on with her, but what she's doing now...
It's not just about Dad.
[wind howling outside]
[Silas] I, uh...
I think... I know why.
[Silas] Maybe.
[empties rasping on the wind]
Well?
At the treehouse...
That empty didn't go away by itself.
Hope led it away.
She told me not to tell.
-Why? -She, uhm.
She said something about our mistakes shouldn't have to follow us.
[Felix] Okay...
What does that—
Sometimes our mistakes follow us!
She say anything else?
Uh, no.
But I think...
-She did something she feels bad about. -[Huck] Why's that?
Is that what you doin' out here?
-Tryin' to get away from what you done? -[Felix] Hey, Huck.
-[Iris] Hey. -I shouldn't have come here.
Why would you—
I have to be different—strong.
You are strong.
Not in the way I wanna be.
Uhm... but I am.
What I've done...
That's why I shouldn't...
[empties rasping on the wind]
It's why I can't...
[empties rasping on the wind]
It's why I didn't even...
-I'm sorry. -Listen.
My sister's going through something and I have no idea what it is.
[empties rasping on the wind]
I don't... feel strong.
[empties rasping on the wind]
I just want her to be okay.
I don't care about her mistakes.
Or yours.
You should.
Silas.
What are you so afraid of?
Me.
I'm afraid of me.
[headphone music playing]
[headphone music slowing and stopping]
-Can't believe they let him in here. -Right?
Reason we got walls is to keep the monsters out.
Silas?
[radio static]
You guys there?
-Hope? Where are you? - The good news is I found the siren.
[Felix] What else?
What's the bad news?
Bad news is the crank was broken.
I took the whole thing apart and now I don't know how to put it back together.
-How's your day? - Well, someone would like to talk to you.
Hope? Where are you?
-Felix? Is it just you? - Huck's here too.
Tell me where you are so I can get you.
No, I won't put you in any more danger.
Just keep everyone safe, I got this.
Hope, we're all here.
All of us, let us help you.
Hope!
I'll sound the siren and clear a path.
But you need to haul a—
What? Haul what?
Ass!
You need to haul ass to the exit.
I'm not familiar with that terminology, and with stakes this high
I feel we should be as clear as possible.
Run, Elton, just run to the exit, okay? I will meet you there.
That way Felix can chew me out in person. Now can you please put my sister on?
I'm here.
[Hope panting]
You can do this. Like when we were kids, remember?
-Listen... - I'm not mad.
Just get to the exit.
I will.
-But if I don't— - Hope, please.
If I don't, promise you won't come back for me.
I won't—because I won't have to.
Because you're gonna make it.
[wind howling]
I wish I hadn't had that stupid fight with Dad before he left.
Look, I still wanna find him, I wanna see him.
But I thought we'd be no good to him dead.
I know.
We'll talk about it.
We're gonna make it.
Just haul your ass to that exit or I will kill you myself.
Got it.
No goodbyes, okay?
No goodbyes.
Are you giving me the finger?
Yeah.
Cool.
[empties rasping on the wind]
-"Haul ass", yeah, I got it now. -[Felix] Oh my God.
[empties wheezing on the wind]
[Felix] Everybody get ready to move.
[Huck] These will help with the smoke.
Lucky for you we brought extras.
-Take the lead, I'll cover your six. -[Felix] Yeah.
-Silas... -I... I don't think I can.
Well, I do.
You can.
[empties rasping on the wind]
[siren slowly starting]
[siren going off]
Here we go.
[siren going off]
[siren blaring]
[siren going off]
[siren going off, Hope gasping with exertion]
[siren sounding, empties rasping]
[Huck] Come on, keep up!
[siren going off, Hope gasping with exertion]
[siren winding down]
[empties rasping]
[Silas reading in Iris's voice]
" Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night "
" What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry ?"
[empties rasping]
" In what distant deeps or skies, "
" Burnt the fire of thine eyes? "
" On what wings dare he aspire? "
[empties rasping]
" What the hand, dare seize the fire? "
" And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? "
" And when thy heart began to beat, "
" What dread hand? & what dread feet? "
" What the hammer? what the chain, "
" In what furnace was thy brain? "
" What the anvil? what dread grasp, "
" Dare its deadly terrors clasp! "
[empties snarling]
" When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: "
" Did he smile his work to see? "
[Felix] Monument High's a great, great way to meet people your age.
[Felix] This is your new home now. You get a fresh start.
" Did he who made the Lamb make thee? "
[empties rasping]
[Silas] Get them out! I got it!
[Felix] Come on!
-[Elton] I need my bag! -[Felix] Elton!
[empties rasping]
" Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: "
" What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? "
[empties rasping and snarling]
-Should've come to me. -Why?
So you could try and stop me?
Isn't that what you wanted?
Think about what you want.
Your sister, your friends.
They're all counting on you.
Daylight's burnin', we should pack up, get ready to hit the road.
-The road where? -We're not going back through that.
And the other options on foot aren't much better, so...
We cut up to Omaha, resupply.
We get back on the next transfer to the university in about two weeks.
Avoid The Blaze.
Uh...
I'm not going back.
Me neither.
-You promised me a fresh start—this is it. -Your uncle's worried sick about you.
You know that, right?
Yeah, I... I miss him too, but...
I'm supposed to be out here.
I think he would want me to be where I'm supposed to be.
I'm where I'm supposed to be, too.
Great.
Me too—if you wanna keep your promise to our dad, you'll help us find him.
[Hope] He's in New York. Lt. Col. Kublek gave us the map.
I know, but you'll get yourselves killed. You realize that, right?
-How you nearly did back there. -[Hope] So come with us, both of you.
We're safer together.
You keep saying there's nothing you can do to help our dad, but there is.
You can help us help him.
[Hope] Or don't.
We're going with or without you.
She's got a point. You know that, right?
There's no turning 'em around. Not right now, at least.
Keeping 'em safe is all we can do.
Till there's somethin' more we can do.
Yeah.
[Hope sniffing]
[Hope] Hey.
[Iris] Hey.
Thanks for having our backs back there.
What changed?
I guess I did.
I was scared.
I'm just tired of being scared.
Listen... Iris.
There's something I have to tell you.
The night that Mom died...
It wasn't you.
And it wasn't empties.
It wasn't people.
It was me.
Hope, what are you talking about?
I haven't told anyone after all these years, not even Dad.
The pregnant lady we saw that night... She came back.
And she had a gun.
She was freaked, and I came at her, and maybe if I'd done nothing at all she...
She shot Mom.
I scared her and she shot Mom.
I killed her.
I shot her.
I picked up the gun and it went off and I shot her.
You should've told me.
I didn't want what happened to change you.
I didn't want what happened to change the way you saw me.
But you're right.
I should've told you.
Yeah, you should've.
I knew there was something you didn't tell me.
That night.
We were just kids.
And the goddam sky was falling.
-We weren't ready for it, none of us were— -Iris, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay, it's okay, I know you are.
We're gonna get through this.
We kinda have to.
[Iris] Come on.
[Felix] Ahem.
[Felix] Look.
We should go to Omaha.
That's where safety is.
And your dad wants you safe.
Not that either of you seem to care about that at all.
Look, this is a mistake, okay?
You're gonna see it.
I hope to God it doesn't take one of you getting hurt or worse before that happens.
Trying to say you're coming with us?
-Giving me an option? -Not really.
Guess that's what I'm sayin'.
At least until I can convince you to turn around and go back—which I will.
-Cool. -Yeah.
For what it's worth I'm sorry I dragged you into this.
-But I'm kinda glad you're here. -Well, uhm.
That makes one of us.
And I'm sorry for stealing your jacket.
-And Will's. -Hmm.
Even though they look really good on us.
-Nah, totally look better on me and Will. -Yeah...
...No.
[Felix] Go!
[Hope] Hey.
You gonna tell us why you went back inside the devil's asshole to save some luggage?
It was to save my mom's manuscript.
She never finished the last chapter, so I want to.
For her, but for me too.
-I know it was kind of irrational— -It was.
But it was also kinda badass.
Silas, Pastor Ridgway said something in church this morning that stuck.
It was a passage from Isaiah. He said God is great.
"He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable."
I think that means that even with, well, the hardest people, those with problems...
God loves 'em.
He does not give up on 'em.
[Iris] Hey.
We love you, Silas.
We're so lucky to be your grandparents.
Life isn't easy, kiddo.
But it's good.
We make it good.
[knocking on door]
Lieutenant Colonel? Sergeant Major Barca.
You're off base, it's late.
I'm due back.
I've been walking the city and...
I found myself here...
Come in.
[helicopter outside]
I can't get what we did it out of my head.
Stand at attention.
You know what we did, Barca, you know exactly what we did.
[Kublek] Hmm? So tell me.
[Kublek] Say it.
-[Barca] We... neutralized a threat. -That's right.
Ma'am... with respect, I, uhm...
They didn't seem like a threat.
[household appliances blaring]
[Kublek] We have energy, water, medicine, transport.
The Council.
The courts, the schools, culture.
A currency, an economy, agriculture, manufacturing.
Law.
We are the last light of the world. We are the last hope.
[Kublek] And we—us.
[Kublek] We enable this population of over 200,000 souls.
To live.
To create the future.
"They didn't seem like a threat."
They were going to be.
[household appliances blaring]
I don't know if I believe that.
[household appliances blaring]
Sit down, Barca, I'll get you some soup.
[silence]
[knocking on door]
[Kublek] Answer it.
Go on.
You will be remanded
to the CRM Health & Welfare Complex until you are deemed ready to serve again.
Albeit in a labor-oriented capacity.
I don't think I'll ever "be ready" to serve again.
Then you won't be leaving the Complex.
-[Barca] Do you think about how many died? -[Kublek] We are the light of the world.
It's a lie.
[Kublek] Ho!
[Barca] It's a goddam lie. You know what we did!
[door closing, Barca muffled yelling, muffled thud in hall]
[household appliances blaring]
lling, muffled thud in hall]
