Outcast (2016) s02e10 Episode Script
To the Sea
1 (crickets chirping) Maybe me most of all.
It's hard not to be after all we've been through.
And so we retreat for the familiar, places we feel safest, behind the walls of our righteous fortresses, but it's all a fairy tale.
We're-- we're not safe behind these walls not in our own homes, not inside our own skin.
Because we have been deceived.
ANDERSON: But not by the Great Deceiver because there is no Devil.
Now, Devil or not, evil is real, it exists.
It infects us, spreading hatred and madness and death.
And now, today's selection from the Holy Scriptures.
What shall enlighten us tonight? Hmm? What words will gird us for the battle to come? How about the Psalms? So full of lessons to make us feel we're living a righteous life.
- (congregation agreeing) - So much - bullshit.
- (congregation murmuring) Or Ezekiel, who reminds us of God's sovereignty over all of his creation.
- That's a fucking laugh.
- MAN: I've heard enough.
ANDERSON: And that's just the Old Testament.
We have even gotten to to God's promise to send a savior to protect us.
- Matthew - (rips out page, crumples) crap.
John crap.
- Oh my gosh.
I can't believe-- - Smoke blown up the world's collective ass.
ANDERSON: Now, I believe in good and evil and that good can and must prevail.
- Amen.
- And it will just so long as it lives in the hearts of righteous people.
- Amen.
- I don't give a shit what you want to call it, but if you truly want to do God's will on Earth - raise an army in his name.
- CONGREGATION: Amen.
Go out there, find the enemy, - and destroy them.
- Amen.
Yes.
Because Lord knows he ain't gonna do it for us.
- Amen.
- CONGREGATION: Amen.
SIMON: We never got married.
She wanted to especially after you were born.
She took my name.
She wanted you to have it.
But I always thought that was some kind of a bad omen.
I didn't want my stink rubbing off on you.
Suppose that makes it easier when you want to get up and go.
That's not what I wanted.
I figured if I wasn't around, maybe they would pass you by.
I thought that way about my family once.
Difference is, though, I checked in on mine.
Wanted to make sure my kid wasn't locked in a closet beaten hair pulled out by the root.
You know that kind of thing.
I know you're upset with me, but we don't have time for a therapy session.
You know, after you left, now and then, I'd ask Mom about you.
"Where'd he go?" "What kind of man was he?" "Did you love him?" (inhales) "Is it my fault?" (exhales) She could only ever say two things.
"He left.
" Now you're here.
So what kind of man are you? You a cult leader here to watch the end of the world? 'Cause you sure act the fucking part.
The world doesn't have to end, son.
Did you tell them that? Your chosen ones out there? I think you're feeding them a line of shit.
And I think they're just some other family you got tired of.
(electrical crackling) You feel that, don't you? It makes the hair on your arm stand up like lightning's about to strike, and if you close your eyes, you can actually see it.
Those pinpricks of light dancing around in the dark.
Those are beacons and they're coming soon.
How do you know? Because I told 'em.
How's that work? We tend to gather around together, like water finding an ocean.
That's how a bunch of us ended up here.
Is that the way it was before? With those eight beacons that I saw buried in the junkyard? Go on, tell me you didn't do that.
(knocking on door) Who is it? DAKOTA: It's me.
(moaning) (Megan whimpers) - (panting) - (insect buzzing) (door opens) (gasps) Don't fucking touch me.
All right, all right.
All right, just - (gasps) Where's my daughter? - She's fine.
She is fine, I assure you.
Where are we? (door closes) You and your baby appear to be perfectly healthy.
Your oxygen levels were a little low, so I thought it best to start a prenatal program, - intravenous vitamins-- - What kind of fucking doctor are you? Would you like to see the sonogram? (panting) Obstetrics weren't really my specialty.
I was more of a research fellow, but it's a girl.
That deranged midwife told me the opposite, but she was also convinced the baby was one of you.
Well, you can never really tell.
Stop fucking with my head! I'm clean.
My baby's clean.
You just said we were both fine.
Truth is, I don't know any one of us that has ever carried a baby to term.
The body always seems to find a way to expel it.
- Megan, that's-- - (gasps) I promise you.
I will do everything in my power to bring your baby into this world.
Thanks, but just give me my vitamins, and I'll just check in every few weeks.
I suggest you try to find a new head space or these next seven months will be unpleasant.
Let me out of here! Let me out of here now! MEGAN: Let me out! Fuck you! No! - Let me out! - (phone rings) Yes? Yes, I understand.
I was delayed by another project, but I think you'll find it extreme-- (quietly inhales) (quietly exhales) I understand.
(sighs) (fluid gurgling) (electrical crackling) SIMON: I need you to get Sarah out to the compound.
Check on Dot's old RV and see if that thing's still running.
You know of anybody with any medical experience? Jacob can handle it.
All right.
Remember, she's just like us.
She's pure.
Even though things didn't happen the way they should've.
Simon.
We've been preparing everything we need, supplies, weapons, for when the Merge comes.
And I'm proud of you.
You stayed strong, you done everything I've asked.
"The sins of the world will be washed away, and only the pure will be spared.
" - That's what you said! - This isn't a religion.
It's a strategy.
Now maybe you misunderstood but I'm gonna do this with or without you.
It's up to you.
(distant dog barking) (distant horse whinnies) I was gonna call Joe Lacey over at the funeral home when I realize I don't know if he's one of us or one of them.
I'll take care of her myself.
There's a spot where we used to camp.
Little trail leads right up to a waterfall.
Nobody'll bother her.
I'll help you.
Long as you don't need a benediction.
She was a church-goer.
Not me.
I am so sorry, Byron.
You ain't got nothing to be sorry for.
You did everything you could.
I told you to fuck off.
I was gonna sit back here and drink away the Apocalypse.
Not lift a finger.
Not my Rosie.
She decided to face what I was too weak to.
And she couldn't live with herself after.
This one's on me, John.
This one's on me.
You're not weak.
And Rosie, sure as shit, wasn't either.
And you're not alone.
There's folks out of the Light of God, they've seen what's happening.
They're scared, but they're ready to fight.
You've got your flock back.
Yep.
(chuckles) Hmm.
They're not my sheep anymore though.
(sighs) We got ourselves an army.
Question is are we gonna use it? My Rosie had a list.
That's a good enough place as any to start.
(car alarm chirps) (engine starts) (sighs) (quietly) Holly, we gotta go.
- Right now.
- BLAKE: Go? We're having fun.
Good.
That's a really big puzzle.
I don't think we've done one with so many pieces before.
HOLLY: Blake said the small one with kittens on it was too easy.
That I had more puzzle talent than that.
There it is.
Talent.
Up top.
Do not leave me hanging.
(chuckles) Aren't you supposed to be on bed rest? Thinking calm thoughts, watching TV shows? Dr.
Park says the baby and I are doing just fine.
Thank goodness.
But why don't you two keep an eye on me? If I seem tired let me know, and I promise to lie down.
Blake used to be a police officer like Daddy.
Maybe that's why you two get on so well.
When you were little, I told you if you ever got lost to go find a policeman.
It's their job to protect us.
I never thanked you for protecting me.
(teakettle whistling) Hey, Puzzle Master.
I think that hot water's ready for hot chocolate.
Go set us up.
Okay.
(quietly) You know how many shrinks they sent me to? Using empathy, stroking my cock, tying to bend me up like a pretty velvet bow.
(scoffs) You all try the same tricks.
Next time you try shit like that, I'm gonna bash your sweet little girl's fucking head in, you get me? (whispers) Yes.
Nice! Okay, Holls.
Now deal your mom in to a pile of pieces, and we'll see if she's as smart as I think she is.
- (shovel digging) - (chopping) (men grunting) Hey! This isn't what we came here to do.
DAKOTA: I wanna serve him as much as anyone, if not more.
But he's lost his way.
We can't do this.
(loud chop) - (chopping) - (digging) I bought a car here right before you were born.
Pontiac Catalina.
Paid $300 for it.
(chuckles) You used to love to push the buttons on the radio.
Thought we didn't have time for a therapy session.
Guess we both have some shit to unload.
(dog barking) (gunshot echoes) - (exclaims) - (cocks gun) Yeah! You think you can pick us off one by one? You better think again! (gunshot echoes) You sumbitches ain't gonna take me.
Hey, buddy.
Oh, fuck me.
KYLE: Bob! Shit! Kyle, where the hell have you been? I been calling you and looking everywhere for you.
Why? What's going on? They took your wife and your little girl.
- I told them girls to stay - What? hunkered down in the hotel room, but-- - Wait a minute.
When did this happen? - Last night.
- Shit.
- I went to the room, the room was empty.
- Nobody saw anything.
- We gotta go.
- Hey! - I'm sorry, Kyle.
SIMON: Hey, just wait a second! Wait! - Let go of me! - What are you doing? I'm going after my family.
If you don't want to come, then give me the keys.
Think.
What the hell are you gonna do? Go driving around the country, hope you find 'em walking down the road? Now close your eyes.
What? Close your goddamn eyes.
You see all them lights? (electrical crackling) That's how you're gonna save your family.
We're gonna put an end to this once and for all.
Those things they're gonna leave us alone forever.
You got to trust me.
(clock ticking) (clock chiming) WOMAN: Nice of you to finally show.
Apologies for rescheduling, something came up.
WOMAN: Oh, well.
Something came up.
You're getting pretty comfortable with this arrangement of ours.
I don't take any comfort in the things I've done for you.
We just happen to share the same goal.
We didn't ask you to massacre your council.
That was all you.
Though I am impressed you took out Sidney.
WOMAN: Bold.
I didn't.
I haven't seen Sidney since the council meeting.
- Neither has anyone else.
- Hmm.
Well, he wasn't exactly 100 percent.
Perhaps his nature just caught up with him.
Isn't that what your research is supposed to fix? I have a few new test subjects that should prove very helpful.
The issue now is time.
You can't tell me you don't feel it coming even sealed off here in your fortress.
It's being dealt with.
I already have a team in place.
If this happens you will lose everything.
Everything I have worked for-- - (sizzling) - (gasps) Your old friend, Sidney, had a job here.
To protect Kyle Barnes, because he could bring about the Merge.
So now it's your job to look after Mr.
Barnes and his daughter, and his father.
Because what they can start, they can stop.
(sizzling) You do that for us.
Keep us informed on what your friends are doing, and we're happy to continue to support your research.
Now, we have some friends to entertain, so if you'll excuse us.
(gasps, panting) SIMON: They know we can hurt them.
(sighs) I'm still not hearing a plan.
We need to all come together and focus our energy.
Are you fucking kidding me? That's exactly what they've been trying to do this whole time! Get us all in one place and bring on the Merge.
Yes, but they're not expecting us to fight back.
I know what we can do.
I know who we are, we can push 'em back.
Now, once these sumbitches understand that they can't come back here, they're gonna leave us alone.
They'll die off and let us go on living like normal human beings.
How do you know? How do you know it'll work? Because I've seen our power.
Thirty years ago but it's dangerous.
Getting everybody together in one place like that.
Especially after what Helen did.
What did Helen do, exactly? They hate what makes us human, son.
They hate everything about it so she bored it out of 'em.
(drill whirring) Removed their ability to feel to think.
She just left 'em there, sitting in their light.
When I showed up, the whole place felt electrified.
It was lifting me up, I could barely keep my feet on the ground.
It was happening.
Their Merge was happening and I had to stop it.
Bob.
Which one of 'em survived that night? Kyle said he found eight bodies, but there was nine.
Must've miscounted.
We're gonna need every single one of 'em.
We're gonna need all of the light we can get to pull this off.
Wait a minute.
Is this true? Is there someone out there who can help us? (shudders) You don't know what you're asking me.
(electricity crackling) (knocking) Hey, Emma! Bobby.
What's he doing here? We need to see Martin.
Wait.
He ain't strung three words together in 30 years.
I don't know whether it was Helen and her scrambling his brain or you putting a bullet in it.
- (vocalizes softly) - KYLE: My God.
That's him.
He was there, the night of the town meeting when Giles got possessed.
Martin's my brother-in-law.
Emma's my little sister.
Do you feel that? Imagine a dozen of us.
Or a hundred of us all focusing our power on these things.
- (Martin whines softly) - (electrical crackling) (Martin moans) (Martin mumbles) (babbling) KYLE: Martin? Those things that are coming took my wife and my daughter.
My father says if we work, together we can stop 'em.
(Martin moans) SIMON: Martin! I'm sorry, but we need your help now.
(babbling) (babbling loudly) BOB: What's he saying? I don't know.
(mumbling loudly) did it! (shouting) He did it! Oh God.
- He did it.
- EMMA: It's you! You put him in this mess! - Emma, no, no! - Get out! - Get out of my house! - (shouting incoherently) - Martin, we need you! - Dad, come on! - (Martin shouting incoherently) - SIMON: We need you to let him-- Let's go! Stop! SIMON: We need everyone we can get! - EMMA: Get out! - We need him! - (moaning, crying) - (shushing) It's okay.
It's okay now.
He's gone.
He's gone.
Shh, shh, shh.
- (whimpering) - (shushing) (wind whistling) (sighs) (clattering) TUTTLE: That's it, hands where I can see 'em.
Thank Christ.
Somebody's minding the store.
I could use a hand.
What are you doing, Chief? How many times I gotta tell you to stop calling me that? Well, Nunez is MIA.
It's just Rita and I running the shop, and she called in sick.
So did Warren and Franks, so, uh, I'd say the job's yours if you want it.
Nunez is dead.
What happened? She was one of those demons we've been fighting, Bill.
She come after Rose and me.
I couldn't let that stand.
(brakes squeaking) It's time to pick a side.
MAN: All right, come on, let's go.
Get out.
- WOMAN: Where are we? - MAN 2: Let me go! - WOMAN 2: I don't know.
- MAN 2: Easy.
- What are they doing? - You can't do this! - Let's get 'em inside.
- Check the girls first! Settle down, move it.
You can't do this! What about my son? - What about my boy! - What the hell's going on, Chief? Oh, we've got us a full house.
(woman crying) Who's gonna take care of my boy? GILES: So, we're gonna need some water, some food, some extra blankets.
Might wanna raid Owen Boyd's shop with all you can carry.
(grunts) GILES: You're a God fearing man, aren't you, Bill? ANDERSON: Come on! TUTTLE: You know I am, Chief, but we're still cops.
ANDERSON: Get him in.
You can't just round people up without cause.
What happened to me and my family gives me enough fucking cause.
We're at war, a holy war, and we're under siege.
They don't just want our town, they want what makes us God's creatures.
Now you're gonna tell me, you don't wanna fight for that? - WOMAN: What are you doing? - MAN: Stop it! WOMAN 2: Get away from me! MAN: What are you looking at? All right, let's get these guys in here, come on.
Let's get 'em out of here! Come on, let's go! Chief Giles, what's going on? Do I know you, miss? I'm looking for the reverend.
Mm-hmm.
And what would you want with my friend the reverend? Just tell him Dakota needs to talk to him, it's important.
I think you need to join us inside, miss.
Hey! Get your hands off me.
I'm not gonna do that.
- (Dakota grunts) - Well, well.
Look who just popped out of her little hole in the ground.
You know this one? She's one of the chosen ones.
Can't you tell? (chuckles) Thank you.
We can help each other.
I offered you my help.
I appealed to your humanity, your decency, and you told me to go fuck myself.
So why don't you just go run on home? I think I can hear your messiah calling for you.
Listen.
You spend your life believing, spreading that light, it gives you purpose.
Until one day, you realize it's not just yourself you've been fooling, right? Thought you'd have a little more sympathy.
BLAKE: You know, when I was your age, I used to sleep in the backyard in a sleeping bag.
(Blake chuckles) The stars would sing me to sleep.
Last few years, locked in a room and no windows, I got pretty sleep-deprived.
Why didn't you have any windows? Well, that story will give you nightmares.
Just tell me.
I, uh Blake? HOLLY: Blake?! Blake! Hey, hey, hey, run to the bathroom, and see if there are any bandages, and aspirin.
Go.
I'll get you a towel.
Sit.
Dr.
Frankenstein's is a-- it's the result of extended isolation.
- They can't hurt me.
- Who? What do you see? I warned you.
Don't fucking psychoanalyze me.
I'm not, I'm sorry.
I'll do whatever you say.
I see the end for everyone like me, like Park.
Maybe even that sweet little bun in your oven.
I don't understand.
They can destroy us all.
Kyle and his daughter.
Amber? Whatever the fuck her name is.
(sighs) Or maybe I'm just going fucking crazy.
I could take you to her.
- Amber.
- You'd do that? - (gasps) - Why? What if it's real? Your vision? What does that mean for my baby? If-- if she is like you, it'd be the end for her too.
And I-- I can't lose her.
She's all I have left of Mark, she and Holly.
(whimpers) We We wouldn't hurt Amber.
We would just We could just take her away.
Keep her with us.
So she couldn't be a part of whatever it is you're seeing.
How do I know you're not fucking with me? We wouldn't hurt her.
Right? We would just keep her with us.
(whimpers) Okay.
(gasping) (thunder rumbling) (footsteps approach) (electrical crackling) When I was growing up after what happened with Mom you were here in Rome, weren't you? Once.
I wanted to see you.
I remember I think.
There was one night I felt something.
Like it was tugging at the edges.
(vehicle approaches) Like I feel now.
I wanted to come and get you.
- Drove my car right up.
- (door opens) Next to that big ol' house y'all were staying in.
(door closes) Must've sat outside for an hour.
Even if I knocked on the door, I don't know what I would've said.
(vehicles approach) I'm sorry, son.
SIMON: Somehow I knew this thing would bring us all together again.
Like water drawn to the sea.
And here we are.
Ah.
(truck door opens) (wheelchair clatters) (truck door closes) (vocalizes softly) It's time.
Let's get it done.
- (electrical crackling) - What's wrong? Move, come on.
(car alarm chirps) BLAKE: We're not coming back here.
Wait in the car.
MEGAN: What are you-- Hey, if you get out, - (alarm chirps) - the alarm will go off, and if you try and run and hide, I'll find you.
(grunts) (glass shatters) Are we really going to see Amber? - (car approaches) - Get! (glass shattering) (grunts) (grunts) We've decided we don't want to be your lab rats anymore, Doc.
(grunting) (grunts, groans) (grunts, groans) (grunts, groans) (crackling) (groaning) (panting) (alarm blaring) Stay down! (alarm stops) (engine starts) (tires screeching) - You left him! - Are they following us? - He helped us! - Is anybody following us? I don't see anything.
I'm sorry, we had to leave your friend, but there's something you need to understand.
It is just us now! We can't rely on anybody.
We can't trust anybody.
We only have each other.
I love you, Mom.
I love you too, baby.
(thunder rumbling) (thunder booming) (groans) (thunder rumbling) Are you sure? (vocalizes softly) (Martin shudders) Thank you.
Thank you all for helping me finish this! You've kept your faith, and I'm grateful for that.
But I now know the world I saw for us isn't coming, but we can have a better world! A world purged from their darkness.
And all I ask from each and every one of you, is to keep your faith just a little longer.
(electricity crackles) AMBER: Daddy! And I ask the same of you, son.
AMBER: Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Hey, Firefly.
Baby, where you been? - Are you okay? - Yeah, we're fine.
Is this really your father? He is.
He said he needed our help.
We need all the light we can get, son.
Without it, we'll fail.
You should've told me you had my family! I wanted to, but I didn't think you were ready to let them help us.
AMBER: Daddy? We can fight the black things together, and then we can go home, and we don't have to be afraid anymore.
I want us to go home.
Can you do it? They're coming! I want you to open up and feel the light! Wait, baby, come here.
SIMON: Let them feel you! (electrical crackling) It's happening.
Can't you feel it? Wait, no, stop! Not yet, wait.
You need me! You-- (grunts) You turned out to be a bit of a handful.
I think Megan and her baby will prove to be much better subjects, once I get them back.
(Blake groaning) (shrieking) They're coming! - AMBER: Daddy! - ALLISON: Kyle? It's okay, baby.
Feel it! - KYLE: What the hell? - Oh my God! Oh God.
EMMA: No, no, no! Martin! Please-- You fucker! (screams) What is this? What the hell is this? Look! Look, son! It's our blood that destroys 'em.
A few lives to save billions, for we don't have time.
Our blood will seal this thing forever! Baby, no.
- I'm sorry.
- Please, no.
- No, please.
- I love you, baby.
- Please don't! - I love you more than anything, but you gotta get out of here.
- Please - Please! - AMBER: Daddy! - Take Amber, Allison.
- Take her and get her out of here.
- No! - It's okay, baby.
- AMBER: No, no! - It's okay! - Stop it! AMBER: No.
I'll do it, but get her out of here.
- It's okay! - AMBER: Daddy! - ALLISON: No! - AMBER: Daddy! - I love you, baby.
It's okay! - Stop it! - It's our bloodline that makes it so powerful.
- (Amber crying) From me to you to her.
It's all or nothing.
We need Amber.
No! No, wait! - Not Amber! No! - AMBER: Daddy! - ALLISON: No! - Dad, you can't! You can't do that! No, Dad! AMBER: No! I love you.
- No! - I won't make you watch.
- No!! - AMBER: No! (gunshot) Everybody get down! (gunshot) (grunting) (grunting) (gunshot) (Dakota grunting) Stop it! No! (grunts) - Come on, Rev! - Yeah, yeah.
(gunshot) No! Stop! We gotta close this, son! There's gotta be another way! No.
No! (grunting) (shouting) - Daddy! - Amber! Stop it! (echoing) Leave my daddy alone! (whirring) (crackling) (booming) Baby, are you okay? Are you all right? Allison? Kyle ALLISON: Amber.
Baby! What was that? - Was that the Merge? - SIMON: No, it wasn't.
You have no idea what you've done, Kyle.
They ain't finished with us yet.
(screaming) (grunting, moaning) Good Lord.
(moaning)
It's hard not to be after all we've been through.
And so we retreat for the familiar, places we feel safest, behind the walls of our righteous fortresses, but it's all a fairy tale.
We're-- we're not safe behind these walls not in our own homes, not inside our own skin.
Because we have been deceived.
ANDERSON: But not by the Great Deceiver because there is no Devil.
Now, Devil or not, evil is real, it exists.
It infects us, spreading hatred and madness and death.
And now, today's selection from the Holy Scriptures.
What shall enlighten us tonight? Hmm? What words will gird us for the battle to come? How about the Psalms? So full of lessons to make us feel we're living a righteous life.
- (congregation agreeing) - So much - bullshit.
- (congregation murmuring) Or Ezekiel, who reminds us of God's sovereignty over all of his creation.
- That's a fucking laugh.
- MAN: I've heard enough.
ANDERSON: And that's just the Old Testament.
We have even gotten to to God's promise to send a savior to protect us.
- Matthew - (rips out page, crumples) crap.
John crap.
- Oh my gosh.
I can't believe-- - Smoke blown up the world's collective ass.
ANDERSON: Now, I believe in good and evil and that good can and must prevail.
- Amen.
- And it will just so long as it lives in the hearts of righteous people.
- Amen.
- I don't give a shit what you want to call it, but if you truly want to do God's will on Earth - raise an army in his name.
- CONGREGATION: Amen.
Go out there, find the enemy, - and destroy them.
- Amen.
Yes.
Because Lord knows he ain't gonna do it for us.
- Amen.
- CONGREGATION: Amen.
SIMON: We never got married.
She wanted to especially after you were born.
She took my name.
She wanted you to have it.
But I always thought that was some kind of a bad omen.
I didn't want my stink rubbing off on you.
Suppose that makes it easier when you want to get up and go.
That's not what I wanted.
I figured if I wasn't around, maybe they would pass you by.
I thought that way about my family once.
Difference is, though, I checked in on mine.
Wanted to make sure my kid wasn't locked in a closet beaten hair pulled out by the root.
You know that kind of thing.
I know you're upset with me, but we don't have time for a therapy session.
You know, after you left, now and then, I'd ask Mom about you.
"Where'd he go?" "What kind of man was he?" "Did you love him?" (inhales) "Is it my fault?" (exhales) She could only ever say two things.
"He left.
" Now you're here.
So what kind of man are you? You a cult leader here to watch the end of the world? 'Cause you sure act the fucking part.
The world doesn't have to end, son.
Did you tell them that? Your chosen ones out there? I think you're feeding them a line of shit.
And I think they're just some other family you got tired of.
(electrical crackling) You feel that, don't you? It makes the hair on your arm stand up like lightning's about to strike, and if you close your eyes, you can actually see it.
Those pinpricks of light dancing around in the dark.
Those are beacons and they're coming soon.
How do you know? Because I told 'em.
How's that work? We tend to gather around together, like water finding an ocean.
That's how a bunch of us ended up here.
Is that the way it was before? With those eight beacons that I saw buried in the junkyard? Go on, tell me you didn't do that.
(knocking on door) Who is it? DAKOTA: It's me.
(moaning) (Megan whimpers) - (panting) - (insect buzzing) (door opens) (gasps) Don't fucking touch me.
All right, all right.
All right, just - (gasps) Where's my daughter? - She's fine.
She is fine, I assure you.
Where are we? (door closes) You and your baby appear to be perfectly healthy.
Your oxygen levels were a little low, so I thought it best to start a prenatal program, - intravenous vitamins-- - What kind of fucking doctor are you? Would you like to see the sonogram? (panting) Obstetrics weren't really my specialty.
I was more of a research fellow, but it's a girl.
That deranged midwife told me the opposite, but she was also convinced the baby was one of you.
Well, you can never really tell.
Stop fucking with my head! I'm clean.
My baby's clean.
You just said we were both fine.
Truth is, I don't know any one of us that has ever carried a baby to term.
The body always seems to find a way to expel it.
- Megan, that's-- - (gasps) I promise you.
I will do everything in my power to bring your baby into this world.
Thanks, but just give me my vitamins, and I'll just check in every few weeks.
I suggest you try to find a new head space or these next seven months will be unpleasant.
Let me out of here! Let me out of here now! MEGAN: Let me out! Fuck you! No! - Let me out! - (phone rings) Yes? Yes, I understand.
I was delayed by another project, but I think you'll find it extreme-- (quietly inhales) (quietly exhales) I understand.
(sighs) (fluid gurgling) (electrical crackling) SIMON: I need you to get Sarah out to the compound.
Check on Dot's old RV and see if that thing's still running.
You know of anybody with any medical experience? Jacob can handle it.
All right.
Remember, she's just like us.
She's pure.
Even though things didn't happen the way they should've.
Simon.
We've been preparing everything we need, supplies, weapons, for when the Merge comes.
And I'm proud of you.
You stayed strong, you done everything I've asked.
"The sins of the world will be washed away, and only the pure will be spared.
" - That's what you said! - This isn't a religion.
It's a strategy.
Now maybe you misunderstood but I'm gonna do this with or without you.
It's up to you.
(distant dog barking) (distant horse whinnies) I was gonna call Joe Lacey over at the funeral home when I realize I don't know if he's one of us or one of them.
I'll take care of her myself.
There's a spot where we used to camp.
Little trail leads right up to a waterfall.
Nobody'll bother her.
I'll help you.
Long as you don't need a benediction.
She was a church-goer.
Not me.
I am so sorry, Byron.
You ain't got nothing to be sorry for.
You did everything you could.
I told you to fuck off.
I was gonna sit back here and drink away the Apocalypse.
Not lift a finger.
Not my Rosie.
She decided to face what I was too weak to.
And she couldn't live with herself after.
This one's on me, John.
This one's on me.
You're not weak.
And Rosie, sure as shit, wasn't either.
And you're not alone.
There's folks out of the Light of God, they've seen what's happening.
They're scared, but they're ready to fight.
You've got your flock back.
Yep.
(chuckles) Hmm.
They're not my sheep anymore though.
(sighs) We got ourselves an army.
Question is are we gonna use it? My Rosie had a list.
That's a good enough place as any to start.
(car alarm chirps) (engine starts) (sighs) (quietly) Holly, we gotta go.
- Right now.
- BLAKE: Go? We're having fun.
Good.
That's a really big puzzle.
I don't think we've done one with so many pieces before.
HOLLY: Blake said the small one with kittens on it was too easy.
That I had more puzzle talent than that.
There it is.
Talent.
Up top.
Do not leave me hanging.
(chuckles) Aren't you supposed to be on bed rest? Thinking calm thoughts, watching TV shows? Dr.
Park says the baby and I are doing just fine.
Thank goodness.
But why don't you two keep an eye on me? If I seem tired let me know, and I promise to lie down.
Blake used to be a police officer like Daddy.
Maybe that's why you two get on so well.
When you were little, I told you if you ever got lost to go find a policeman.
It's their job to protect us.
I never thanked you for protecting me.
(teakettle whistling) Hey, Puzzle Master.
I think that hot water's ready for hot chocolate.
Go set us up.
Okay.
(quietly) You know how many shrinks they sent me to? Using empathy, stroking my cock, tying to bend me up like a pretty velvet bow.
(scoffs) You all try the same tricks.
Next time you try shit like that, I'm gonna bash your sweet little girl's fucking head in, you get me? (whispers) Yes.
Nice! Okay, Holls.
Now deal your mom in to a pile of pieces, and we'll see if she's as smart as I think she is.
- (shovel digging) - (chopping) (men grunting) Hey! This isn't what we came here to do.
DAKOTA: I wanna serve him as much as anyone, if not more.
But he's lost his way.
We can't do this.
(loud chop) - (chopping) - (digging) I bought a car here right before you were born.
Pontiac Catalina.
Paid $300 for it.
(chuckles) You used to love to push the buttons on the radio.
Thought we didn't have time for a therapy session.
Guess we both have some shit to unload.
(dog barking) (gunshot echoes) - (exclaims) - (cocks gun) Yeah! You think you can pick us off one by one? You better think again! (gunshot echoes) You sumbitches ain't gonna take me.
Hey, buddy.
Oh, fuck me.
KYLE: Bob! Shit! Kyle, where the hell have you been? I been calling you and looking everywhere for you.
Why? What's going on? They took your wife and your little girl.
- I told them girls to stay - What? hunkered down in the hotel room, but-- - Wait a minute.
When did this happen? - Last night.
- Shit.
- I went to the room, the room was empty.
- Nobody saw anything.
- We gotta go.
- Hey! - I'm sorry, Kyle.
SIMON: Hey, just wait a second! Wait! - Let go of me! - What are you doing? I'm going after my family.
If you don't want to come, then give me the keys.
Think.
What the hell are you gonna do? Go driving around the country, hope you find 'em walking down the road? Now close your eyes.
What? Close your goddamn eyes.
You see all them lights? (electrical crackling) That's how you're gonna save your family.
We're gonna put an end to this once and for all.
Those things they're gonna leave us alone forever.
You got to trust me.
(clock ticking) (clock chiming) WOMAN: Nice of you to finally show.
Apologies for rescheduling, something came up.
WOMAN: Oh, well.
Something came up.
You're getting pretty comfortable with this arrangement of ours.
I don't take any comfort in the things I've done for you.
We just happen to share the same goal.
We didn't ask you to massacre your council.
That was all you.
Though I am impressed you took out Sidney.
WOMAN: Bold.
I didn't.
I haven't seen Sidney since the council meeting.
- Neither has anyone else.
- Hmm.
Well, he wasn't exactly 100 percent.
Perhaps his nature just caught up with him.
Isn't that what your research is supposed to fix? I have a few new test subjects that should prove very helpful.
The issue now is time.
You can't tell me you don't feel it coming even sealed off here in your fortress.
It's being dealt with.
I already have a team in place.
If this happens you will lose everything.
Everything I have worked for-- - (sizzling) - (gasps) Your old friend, Sidney, had a job here.
To protect Kyle Barnes, because he could bring about the Merge.
So now it's your job to look after Mr.
Barnes and his daughter, and his father.
Because what they can start, they can stop.
(sizzling) You do that for us.
Keep us informed on what your friends are doing, and we're happy to continue to support your research.
Now, we have some friends to entertain, so if you'll excuse us.
(gasps, panting) SIMON: They know we can hurt them.
(sighs) I'm still not hearing a plan.
We need to all come together and focus our energy.
Are you fucking kidding me? That's exactly what they've been trying to do this whole time! Get us all in one place and bring on the Merge.
Yes, but they're not expecting us to fight back.
I know what we can do.
I know who we are, we can push 'em back.
Now, once these sumbitches understand that they can't come back here, they're gonna leave us alone.
They'll die off and let us go on living like normal human beings.
How do you know? How do you know it'll work? Because I've seen our power.
Thirty years ago but it's dangerous.
Getting everybody together in one place like that.
Especially after what Helen did.
What did Helen do, exactly? They hate what makes us human, son.
They hate everything about it so she bored it out of 'em.
(drill whirring) Removed their ability to feel to think.
She just left 'em there, sitting in their light.
When I showed up, the whole place felt electrified.
It was lifting me up, I could barely keep my feet on the ground.
It was happening.
Their Merge was happening and I had to stop it.
Bob.
Which one of 'em survived that night? Kyle said he found eight bodies, but there was nine.
Must've miscounted.
We're gonna need every single one of 'em.
We're gonna need all of the light we can get to pull this off.
Wait a minute.
Is this true? Is there someone out there who can help us? (shudders) You don't know what you're asking me.
(electricity crackling) (knocking) Hey, Emma! Bobby.
What's he doing here? We need to see Martin.
Wait.
He ain't strung three words together in 30 years.
I don't know whether it was Helen and her scrambling his brain or you putting a bullet in it.
- (vocalizes softly) - KYLE: My God.
That's him.
He was there, the night of the town meeting when Giles got possessed.
Martin's my brother-in-law.
Emma's my little sister.
Do you feel that? Imagine a dozen of us.
Or a hundred of us all focusing our power on these things.
- (Martin whines softly) - (electrical crackling) (Martin moans) (Martin mumbles) (babbling) KYLE: Martin? Those things that are coming took my wife and my daughter.
My father says if we work, together we can stop 'em.
(Martin moans) SIMON: Martin! I'm sorry, but we need your help now.
(babbling) (babbling loudly) BOB: What's he saying? I don't know.
(mumbling loudly) did it! (shouting) He did it! Oh God.
- He did it.
- EMMA: It's you! You put him in this mess! - Emma, no, no! - Get out! - Get out of my house! - (shouting incoherently) - Martin, we need you! - Dad, come on! - (Martin shouting incoherently) - SIMON: We need you to let him-- Let's go! Stop! SIMON: We need everyone we can get! - EMMA: Get out! - We need him! - (moaning, crying) - (shushing) It's okay.
It's okay now.
He's gone.
He's gone.
Shh, shh, shh.
- (whimpering) - (shushing) (wind whistling) (sighs) (clattering) TUTTLE: That's it, hands where I can see 'em.
Thank Christ.
Somebody's minding the store.
I could use a hand.
What are you doing, Chief? How many times I gotta tell you to stop calling me that? Well, Nunez is MIA.
It's just Rita and I running the shop, and she called in sick.
So did Warren and Franks, so, uh, I'd say the job's yours if you want it.
Nunez is dead.
What happened? She was one of those demons we've been fighting, Bill.
She come after Rose and me.
I couldn't let that stand.
(brakes squeaking) It's time to pick a side.
MAN: All right, come on, let's go.
Get out.
- WOMAN: Where are we? - MAN 2: Let me go! - WOMAN 2: I don't know.
- MAN 2: Easy.
- What are they doing? - You can't do this! - Let's get 'em inside.
- Check the girls first! Settle down, move it.
You can't do this! What about my son? - What about my boy! - What the hell's going on, Chief? Oh, we've got us a full house.
(woman crying) Who's gonna take care of my boy? GILES: So, we're gonna need some water, some food, some extra blankets.
Might wanna raid Owen Boyd's shop with all you can carry.
(grunts) GILES: You're a God fearing man, aren't you, Bill? ANDERSON: Come on! TUTTLE: You know I am, Chief, but we're still cops.
ANDERSON: Get him in.
You can't just round people up without cause.
What happened to me and my family gives me enough fucking cause.
We're at war, a holy war, and we're under siege.
They don't just want our town, they want what makes us God's creatures.
Now you're gonna tell me, you don't wanna fight for that? - WOMAN: What are you doing? - MAN: Stop it! WOMAN 2: Get away from me! MAN: What are you looking at? All right, let's get these guys in here, come on.
Let's get 'em out of here! Come on, let's go! Chief Giles, what's going on? Do I know you, miss? I'm looking for the reverend.
Mm-hmm.
And what would you want with my friend the reverend? Just tell him Dakota needs to talk to him, it's important.
I think you need to join us inside, miss.
Hey! Get your hands off me.
I'm not gonna do that.
- (Dakota grunts) - Well, well.
Look who just popped out of her little hole in the ground.
You know this one? She's one of the chosen ones.
Can't you tell? (chuckles) Thank you.
We can help each other.
I offered you my help.
I appealed to your humanity, your decency, and you told me to go fuck myself.
So why don't you just go run on home? I think I can hear your messiah calling for you.
Listen.
You spend your life believing, spreading that light, it gives you purpose.
Until one day, you realize it's not just yourself you've been fooling, right? Thought you'd have a little more sympathy.
BLAKE: You know, when I was your age, I used to sleep in the backyard in a sleeping bag.
(Blake chuckles) The stars would sing me to sleep.
Last few years, locked in a room and no windows, I got pretty sleep-deprived.
Why didn't you have any windows? Well, that story will give you nightmares.
Just tell me.
I, uh Blake? HOLLY: Blake?! Blake! Hey, hey, hey, run to the bathroom, and see if there are any bandages, and aspirin.
Go.
I'll get you a towel.
Sit.
Dr.
Frankenstein's is a-- it's the result of extended isolation.
- They can't hurt me.
- Who? What do you see? I warned you.
Don't fucking psychoanalyze me.
I'm not, I'm sorry.
I'll do whatever you say.
I see the end for everyone like me, like Park.
Maybe even that sweet little bun in your oven.
I don't understand.
They can destroy us all.
Kyle and his daughter.
Amber? Whatever the fuck her name is.
(sighs) Or maybe I'm just going fucking crazy.
I could take you to her.
- Amber.
- You'd do that? - (gasps) - Why? What if it's real? Your vision? What does that mean for my baby? If-- if she is like you, it'd be the end for her too.
And I-- I can't lose her.
She's all I have left of Mark, she and Holly.
(whimpers) We We wouldn't hurt Amber.
We would just We could just take her away.
Keep her with us.
So she couldn't be a part of whatever it is you're seeing.
How do I know you're not fucking with me? We wouldn't hurt her.
Right? We would just keep her with us.
(whimpers) Okay.
(gasping) (thunder rumbling) (footsteps approach) (electrical crackling) When I was growing up after what happened with Mom you were here in Rome, weren't you? Once.
I wanted to see you.
I remember I think.
There was one night I felt something.
Like it was tugging at the edges.
(vehicle approaches) Like I feel now.
I wanted to come and get you.
- Drove my car right up.
- (door opens) Next to that big ol' house y'all were staying in.
(door closes) Must've sat outside for an hour.
Even if I knocked on the door, I don't know what I would've said.
(vehicles approach) I'm sorry, son.
SIMON: Somehow I knew this thing would bring us all together again.
Like water drawn to the sea.
And here we are.
Ah.
(truck door opens) (wheelchair clatters) (truck door closes) (vocalizes softly) It's time.
Let's get it done.
- (electrical crackling) - What's wrong? Move, come on.
(car alarm chirps) BLAKE: We're not coming back here.
Wait in the car.
MEGAN: What are you-- Hey, if you get out, - (alarm chirps) - the alarm will go off, and if you try and run and hide, I'll find you.
(grunts) (glass shatters) Are we really going to see Amber? - (car approaches) - Get! (glass shattering) (grunts) (grunts) We've decided we don't want to be your lab rats anymore, Doc.
(grunting) (grunts, groans) (grunts, groans) (grunts, groans) (crackling) (groaning) (panting) (alarm blaring) Stay down! (alarm stops) (engine starts) (tires screeching) - You left him! - Are they following us? - He helped us! - Is anybody following us? I don't see anything.
I'm sorry, we had to leave your friend, but there's something you need to understand.
It is just us now! We can't rely on anybody.
We can't trust anybody.
We only have each other.
I love you, Mom.
I love you too, baby.
(thunder rumbling) (thunder booming) (groans) (thunder rumbling) Are you sure? (vocalizes softly) (Martin shudders) Thank you.
Thank you all for helping me finish this! You've kept your faith, and I'm grateful for that.
But I now know the world I saw for us isn't coming, but we can have a better world! A world purged from their darkness.
And all I ask from each and every one of you, is to keep your faith just a little longer.
(electricity crackles) AMBER: Daddy! And I ask the same of you, son.
AMBER: Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Hey, Firefly.
Baby, where you been? - Are you okay? - Yeah, we're fine.
Is this really your father? He is.
He said he needed our help.
We need all the light we can get, son.
Without it, we'll fail.
You should've told me you had my family! I wanted to, but I didn't think you were ready to let them help us.
AMBER: Daddy? We can fight the black things together, and then we can go home, and we don't have to be afraid anymore.
I want us to go home.
Can you do it? They're coming! I want you to open up and feel the light! Wait, baby, come here.
SIMON: Let them feel you! (electrical crackling) It's happening.
Can't you feel it? Wait, no, stop! Not yet, wait.
You need me! You-- (grunts) You turned out to be a bit of a handful.
I think Megan and her baby will prove to be much better subjects, once I get them back.
(Blake groaning) (shrieking) They're coming! - AMBER: Daddy! - ALLISON: Kyle? It's okay, baby.
Feel it! - KYLE: What the hell? - Oh my God! Oh God.
EMMA: No, no, no! Martin! Please-- You fucker! (screams) What is this? What the hell is this? Look! Look, son! It's our blood that destroys 'em.
A few lives to save billions, for we don't have time.
Our blood will seal this thing forever! Baby, no.
- I'm sorry.
- Please, no.
- No, please.
- I love you, baby.
- Please don't! - I love you more than anything, but you gotta get out of here.
- Please - Please! - AMBER: Daddy! - Take Amber, Allison.
- Take her and get her out of here.
- No! - It's okay, baby.
- AMBER: No, no! - It's okay! - Stop it! AMBER: No.
I'll do it, but get her out of here.
- It's okay! - AMBER: Daddy! - ALLISON: No! - AMBER: Daddy! - I love you, baby.
It's okay! - Stop it! - It's our bloodline that makes it so powerful.
- (Amber crying) From me to you to her.
It's all or nothing.
We need Amber.
No! No, wait! - Not Amber! No! - AMBER: Daddy! - ALLISON: No! - Dad, you can't! You can't do that! No, Dad! AMBER: No! I love you.
- No! - I won't make you watch.
- No!! - AMBER: No! (gunshot) Everybody get down! (gunshot) (grunting) (grunting) (gunshot) (Dakota grunting) Stop it! No! (grunts) - Come on, Rev! - Yeah, yeah.
(gunshot) No! Stop! We gotta close this, son! There's gotta be another way! No.
No! (grunting) (shouting) - Daddy! - Amber! Stop it! (echoing) Leave my daddy alone! (whirring) (crackling) (booming) Baby, are you okay? Are you all right? Allison? Kyle ALLISON: Amber.
Baby! What was that? - Was that the Merge? - SIMON: No, it wasn't.
You have no idea what you've done, Kyle.
They ain't finished with us yet.
(screaming) (grunting, moaning) Good Lord.
(moaning)
