00:00I'm kind of in denial of the whole leaving thing.
00:19Well, we're going to be back.
00:20Okay.
00:21Wait, can't go yet.
00:23Gotta do a secret handshake.
00:24We don't have a secret handshake.
00:25That's how secret it is.
00:26I love you.
00:28Let me stay too.
00:31Ish.
00:32Please.
00:33Where am I supposed to go, man?
00:36I don't need this out there.
00:40I love that my favorite place is your favorite place.
00:43The Caliberate is the only place that I can see how people used to live.
00:50There's always a debt.
00:54There's not always forgiveness.
00:56I'm sick.
00:58Joey.
00:58He has a slight fever.
01:00There's a little bug.
01:01Mom?
01:02Dad?
01:05Joey?
01:05Joey?
01:06Joey?
01:07Joe.
01:07Whatever it is, it is moving fast.
01:10And it is infecting even those who survived the first time.
01:15Heather?
01:18Come on, baby.
01:19Come back to us.
01:22Where's Rave?
01:22He's gone.
01:23He's gone.
01:25He's gone.
01:34And she's done from the beginning.
01:42I loved him.
01:43From the moment I saw him at six.
01:50That's where it starts.
01:54He loved you.
01:57Like Dad said, we drove north.
02:01We didn't see another living person.
02:14We found a beautiful beach.
02:17And for a long time, it seemed we'd never leave.
02:19We knew we'd already broken our promise to return home before it got cold.
02:26But it felt like we both kept making promises to each other every day.
02:31We also knew we didn't come out into the world to be just as alone as in San Lupo.
02:36So we went looking.
02:38Yeah.
02:41Every town along the coast was the same.
02:44Empty.
02:47Unpeopled.
02:52Well, what did you expect?
02:59Every town had something that had been left behind.
03:02It seemed...
03:04For us...
03:04This place is so cool.
03:09I wonder what they made here.
03:11I think it was like a lumber mill.
03:14Hey, come on!
03:16Hey!
03:17What?
03:21Oh.
03:23We didn't know what the numbers meant.
03:25Interesting.
03:26Why?
03:27But we knew the arrows were directions we couldn't ignore.
03:29We saw it painted on rocks and sidewalks.
03:34We saw it painted on rocks and sidewalks.
03:36We're pretty cool.
03:37Hey, I'm driving!
03:39No, I'm not.
03:41But no matter where we drove, the arrows kept pointing us nowhere.
03:54Our search for people had taken us much further than we planned.
03:57So we decided to settle in one spot.
04:03This is so much better than I dreamed it would be.
04:06But we knew this was our last stop before coming home.
04:16We were planning on coming home.
04:19All right, please.
04:20All right.
04:24Are you hungry?
04:25Rafe!
04:38What?
04:40Taxus brevulia.
04:41One of the few things I learned in school before Joey did.
04:46Uh, taxus...
04:47Oh, sorry, what?
04:49The Pacific Yew Tree.
04:50One of the most healing trees known to humans.
04:52Every part of this magical tree can heal.
04:55From open wounds to nasty coughs.
04:58Oh, really? We should get some of that back from Molly, then.
05:00I'm gonna go see if there's more.
05:01Cut it from here.
05:03From here?
05:04Yeah.
05:17Rafe?
05:22Wait!
05:38You okay?
05:40I saw someone.
05:42What? You saw someone?
05:44Somebody's secret?
05:45We need to keep an eye out.
05:49We should sleep in shits tonight.
05:54Food now, or I will.
06:00Tell us everything.
06:03There's enough food to share.
06:05You don't have to hold him like that, please.
06:06Share?
06:07It's take or die.
06:08No, we're looking for others.
06:10No!
06:11Others.
06:11There are no others.
06:13Stop!
06:13No!
06:14No!
06:14No!
06:15Stop!
06:23I didn't want to.
06:28You shouldn't have tried to fight.
06:30Stop!
06:41Rafe!
06:42Let's just get you safe.
06:45No.
06:45Okay?
06:46I just need you to be okay.
06:48Okay?
06:49Just tell me you'll be okay.
06:51I won't be.
06:54I don't know what to do.
06:57Say my name.
06:59Please.
07:00Heather.
07:02Heather.
07:02Heather.
07:03Yeah.
07:06Heather.
07:06Heather.
07:13No.
07:21No.
07:22Please stay with me.
07:24Please.
07:25Please stay with me.
07:27Please stay with me.
07:29I don't know.
07:59The cheat broke down.
08:02It took me endless weeks to walk home.
08:11Rave walked back with me, I swear.
08:16He...
08:16He walked me home.
08:24It's okay.
08:26It's okay.
08:29It's okay.
08:59It's okay.
09:29You okay?
09:45Heather will better.
09:49That's right.
09:51Although dad hasn't got me that in ages.
09:55How come
09:56I never got an accident?
09:59I have one.
10:01You have one, Jojo.
10:04Oh, right.
10:07I forgot.
10:08My brain is kind of fuzzy.
10:13It's okay.
10:15It deserves a break after all these years of hard work.
10:19Dad thinks I'm gonna die.
10:21Don't say that.
10:22He's not getting your medicine right now.
10:24No.
10:25I see it in his eyes.
10:31He doesn't look at me the same way.
10:35It's almost like...
10:37Like I'm already gone.
10:39He wants you back jumping off cliffs and scampering up trees.
10:45That's what his face is saying.
10:47Hurry up.
10:48Get well.
10:51Get well.
10:53That's it.
10:54Keep saying that.
10:55That's it.
10:59Hey, kiddo.
11:00Have a little bit of this.
11:01Dad, you're back.
11:02Yep.
11:03A little shopping spree in the city and you're gonna be all good.
11:05It's okay, Jojo.
11:26Dad, you're gonna scare him.
11:27What's that supposed to mean?
11:28You're scaring me.
11:29I'm giving him my immunity.
11:31I gave Molly everything from the yew tree.
11:34She's making medicine right now.
11:36That doesn't work.
11:41I don't know.
11:43But it's too late for immunity.
11:44You know that.
11:46I have to save him.
11:49I have to save all of you.
11:51That's not your job.
11:52Of course it is.
12:01I was.
12:32Oh, it's for you, Rafe.
12:42And this is for your sister.
13:00They're still with me.
13:04Just rest, Evie.
13:18I'm here.
13:27Molly.
13:28Yes?
13:31Heather said you were trying?
13:32Yes, from a yew tree.
13:33I won't know for a day or two.
13:35He doesn't have that time.
13:36He's on fire.
13:39Okay.
13:40Molly.
13:41Okay, okay.
13:42Let me think.
13:43He needs a nice bath.
13:44Right now.
13:50Come on.
13:53Sorry to bother.
13:54I know Evie's sick, too.
13:55Maureen and I have been taking shifts over there.
13:58Joey's fever won't break.
14:00I'm taking the cowboy pull.
14:01Do you need help carrying you?
14:02Why did you come for me?
14:08Because you're a man of faith.
14:10And I'm not.
14:12I may need to borrow some.
14:16If God exists,
14:17this feels like punishment.
14:21God is not in the pain.
14:22He's in the mercy.
14:23Only problem is, Jorge.
14:29There's no mercy to be found.
14:34There you go.
14:49Am I?
14:51Am I fine?
14:53Yeah, Jojo.
14:59You're flying.
15:16Do you know why it's working?
15:18It's a strain of the virus that made us start over all those years ago.
15:23But it's weaker by its own nature.
15:28So it's given us a chance.
15:30Not everyone.
15:33No.
15:34Not everything works for everyone, Heather.
15:36I wish it did.
15:37I just wanted to check on my people.
15:46They're doing really well.
15:48Molly is amazing.
15:50I really thought I'd reach the end.
15:52So did I.
15:55In the woods.
15:57You really have to do something about that feeling.
16:01Surviving.
16:02Yes.
16:02Yes.
16:07Hey.
16:07Uh.
16:08This may sound crazy, but...
16:10Do you mind me asking what he looked like?
16:16Desperate.
16:17Hard to see the person underneath all that dirt.
16:20And...
16:21I don't know.
16:24It was kind of like there was no person left inside of him.
16:28This world can do that.
16:29Only thing I keep seeing...
16:31Is the gold of his tattoos.
16:33You all right?
16:41Sure.
16:42I'll be fine.
16:59Hey, Corey.
17:01You look like you've seen a ghost.
17:02I'm just, uh...
17:03Still recovering.
17:06Well, rest.
17:08He's your best friend.
17:10Best friend.
17:12Yeah.
17:14Okay.
17:15Molly.
17:16Yeah.
17:19Ever have a secret...
17:21That you knew you couldn't tell?
17:24It's a ridiculous question.
17:26No.
17:28No.
17:30It's a great question.
17:32I'd say...
17:37I'd say...
17:38If the secret...
17:41Somehow makes the world a better place...
17:44Keep it.
17:49Otherwise, shout it from the rooftops.
17:51You're a good doctor, Molly.
17:58Don't tell anyone.
17:59These have been working wonders, Mama.
18:14It's not working here.
18:17Try one more time.
18:19Corey, Evie...
18:19It's really making...
18:20Let's try.
18:21Let's try.
18:31Dad?
18:34Hey.
18:35Hey, buddy.
18:38I'm scared.
18:39Don't be scared.
18:41Don't be scared.
18:43I'm here.
18:45Your mama's here.
18:47We're always here.
18:49What if I'm not?
18:54Where will I go?
18:56If I'm not here...
18:58Who will I find you?
19:23Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey.
19:25What if I'm not here?
19:27What if I'm not here?
19:29What if I'm not here?
19:30What if I'm not here?
19:31What if I'm not here?
19:32What if I'm not here?
19:33What if I'm not here?
19:34What if I'm not here?
19:35What if I'm not here?
19:36What if I'm not here?
19:37What if I'm not here?
19:38What if I'm not here?
19:39What if I'm not here?
19:40What if I'm not here?
19:41What if I'm not here?
19:42What if I'm not here?
19:43What if I'm not here?
19:44What if I'm not here?
19:45What if I'm not here?
19:46What if I'm not here?
19:47What if I'm not here?
19:48What if I'm not here?
19:49What if I'm not here?
19:50What if I'm not here?
20:51You need to come to terms with it.
20:56Do you still love me?
21:01It's not enough.
21:04It is.
21:05This is a house of fucking lies.
21:10An illusion.
21:12Useless.
21:14I can't do this anymore.
21:16Do what?
21:18Rebuild the contents of this...
21:21This tomb?
21:23It's gone forever.
21:29It was gone.
21:32Way before Joey.
21:35You wanted him to reignite the old world, but no one can do that.
21:41We have other living children.
21:44Our friends have children.
21:47So go ahead, burn it down.
21:49Don't...
21:50Don't...
21:51Don't...
21:52Don't...
21:56Don't...
22:28How are you, my friend?
22:39What do I do, Jorge?
22:47I'm so sorry he's gone.
22:50But you are still here.
22:58Living has more dying in it than a heart can bear.
23:23It's okay.
23:29That wasn't too much.
23:35But you gave me Earth-ish.
23:37It's a safe place to plant my feet.
23:51I wonder if it's the same for you.
23:53It has only ever been you.
24:02It's okay.
24:03It's okay.
24:04It's okay.
25:05The barometric pressure required to move the sun so deftly through the mist.
25:16But somehow I knew science didn't have a word for this.
25:18And this is awe.
25:25The earth healed.
25:26I got it so wrong.
25:49The world that I grew up in is very different than the world you all see today.
25:58There were wars.
26:03Greed.
26:04There would be cities you would visit, and you couldn't even see the stars.
26:11It was gray.
26:13From chemicals.
26:14Just flying up into the sky.
26:16Everyone was just out to get theirs.
26:23Does that sound like a world you want to live in?
26:26It's certainly not a world I do.
26:28All this time, I've been trying to take the lessons from the past to recreate a world that wasn't much of a world at all.
26:41I like going to sleep and looking up and seeing the stars.
26:48I like seeing the green trees and the farms that we have and the food that we have, the abundance.
26:56And if the earth can abide, so can we.
26:57I'm sorry.
27:06You don't need me as a teacher.
27:11Out there, that's your greatest teacher.
27:16If we can live in harmony with this earth,
27:20then maybe it will teach us how to live in harmony with each other.
27:27We have a blank canvas.
27:37This time, we're not going to mess it up.
27:57What's a six-letter word for interrupting?
28:07Yeah.
28:10Here's some apples.
28:12Oh, that works.
28:15Alex.
28:16Thank you, chef.
28:52This was one of my dad's old journals that he never used.
29:19I had to steal it because it's so cool.
29:22Sorry, Dad.
29:23I had to steal it.
29:25I had to steal it.
29:29I had to steal it.
29:30I had to steal it.
29:32I had to steal it.
29:34I had to steal it.
29:35I had to steal it.
29:39I had to steal it.
29:40I had to steal it.
29:42I know Dad doesn't want any more people at San Lupo, but maybe there are more out there.
30:10We need there to be.
30:15Maybe they can help us hear from Heather and Rafe.
30:19We can't just hold out as only us forever.
30:21I know we weren't made to live alone.
30:27When I get this built, I hope he's proud of me.
30:30And I hope he lets us try to find the others.
30:35I'm not smart enough to know if this is going to work, but we've got to try.
30:51This is for all of you who wanted to know if there were others in the world.
30:54Are you ready to find them if they're out there?
30:56Unbelievable, I know.
31:02Let's do it, man.
31:04Let's do it.
31:05All right, where do we start?
31:07First things first, go upstairs and leave me alone.
31:10Gladly.
31:14What?
31:14I don't know.
31:15I don't know.
31:16You've got a duster.
31:20Isn't it random that Joey figured out how to build this and now we're doing it?
31:25Something tells me this isn't random at all.
31:29Well, thanks for letting me do this.
31:33Usually it'd be a Jorge thing.
31:35Yeah, well, Jorge's afraid of heights, so.
31:38Touche.
31:40Plus, uh, Ezra, I wanted to take a minute alone with you.
31:47I just didn't understand you at the beginning.
31:52And you hated the merch.
31:55Okay, yes, and don't say merch.
31:57Uh, you know, as bad as you used to be.
32:06Neither are you.
32:13Oh, fuck it.
32:18Don't tell anybody that happened.
32:20No worries.
32:21Back to work.
32:23Let's go.
32:27Joey really understood this stuff, huh?
32:36Of course.
32:39But it's your hands now.
32:40Your father adores you, Alex.
32:50We all do.
32:55You really think we'll find anyone out there?
32:58I hope so.
32:59I hope so, too.
33:19CQ, CQ, CQ.
33:20This is San Lupo.
33:21Do you read me?
33:31CQ, CQ, CQ.
33:32This is San Lupo.
33:33Is anyone out there?
33:40CQ, CQ, CQ.
33:41This is San Lupo.
33:42Can anyone hear me?
33:43Is anyone out there?
33:45Is it San Lupo?
33:46Is it San Lupo?
33:48Is it San Lupo?
33:52Any luck?
33:54It's working.
33:56But without a frequency to connect to, it's like singing in the shower.
33:59No one ever hears it.
34:01Thank God no one can hear you singing in the shower.
34:03I don't even know what I'd say if anyone answered my call.
34:12I do.
34:14New Ish would be as excited as me.
34:17As all of us.
34:21Come on, let's get you out of this dark room and have some fun.
34:25The boys will challenge us to a game of baseball.
34:28I didn't even know we had a baseball anymore.
34:30Not exactly.
34:34Let's play ball.
34:35No, no, no, no, no, no.
34:37Let's see, let's see.
34:39All right, heavy hitter, heavy hitter.
34:41Come on, come on, Winnie, come on.
34:43Heavy hitter, heavy hitter.
34:46Okay, come on.
34:47You got this, honey.
34:49Strike her out.
34:52Let's go.
34:52Let's go.
34:54Delaying of game.
34:55Hey, I've seen better swings on a porch.
35:02This give you that line?
35:03No, I came up with that all by myself.
35:06Maybe he helped with the porch part.
35:08The porch part is the joke.
35:11All right, remember, three limes and you're out.
35:14That's a lemon in your hand, Jorge.
35:16Watch out for a zester.
35:18Three of any citrus fruit and you're out.
35:20Why are we using lemons?
35:22I don't really know.
35:24Cantaloupes aren't in season.
35:26Back in the day, in Venezuela.
35:28Oh, my God.
35:29They called me the really, really good pitcher.
35:33Nobody calls you that.
35:34Pitch the lemon.
35:36Okay.
35:37You got it, Mom.
35:38Let's get it.
35:39Go, go, go!
35:51Pitch, go, go!
35:52Run, run, run!
35:54Okay, you need the fruit to get around.
35:55Get the full fruit.
35:56Get the full fruit to get around.
35:57Get the whole fruit.
35:58Pitch, no, no!
35:59You need the full fruit.
35:59You need the full fruit.
36:00Get the other one.
36:02Over there.
36:03Get the other one.
36:03We need the other one.
36:04She's the other one.
36:05Oh, it's the other one.
36:06Don't, don't, don't!

36:42And get ready for three strikes.
36:43Come in right down the middle.
36:46Why are there so many numbers in this game?
36:49In the old days, we were obsessed with statistics.
36:52Everything was measured.
36:55Everything was ranked.
36:56Numbers were the way we explained the world.
37:001-4-7-2-2-5.
37:03What's that?
37:05Numbers, something Rafe and I saw out there.
37:07I told Ezra and Jean about it.
37:09We saw it everywhere.
37:10We followed it for months, but I didn't know what it meant.
37:151-4-7-2-2-5.
37:17We saw it in an abandoned town, spray painted on almost every roof and door.
37:21Wait, wait, wait.
37:22I don't understand.
37:23I don't understand.
37:24But that was it.
37:25It was just those numbers and arrows, but the arrows never led anywhere.
