I think you owe me some details.

He said he had a nice time.

And what did you say?

He's Angie.

Marilyn, I mean, if he is as fine in real life as he looked in those

He's nice.

He's very nice. So you'll call this very nice man for a second

date? Okay, we discussed this.

I'm doing things my way, slowly.

They're slow.

And then there's the sleep.

I love you, Big Sis, but your way isn't exactly working.

Um, that does not look like the application for your internship.

That's because it's not due until the end of the month.

Everybody's taking their sleep time in this family.

Marilyn, you can keep looking for the next 10 years. You are not going to find

another Ronald.

He didn't want you to stop living.

He wanted you to have a big, full life.

Got everything I need.

Work, you, Langston.

Yeah, okay, but there's some things that we can't give you.

Yeah, what is that?

Like companionship. Lord.

Dates. Organs.

Ma, seriously.

Uh, I'm saying goodbye. Bye. Bye. Love you.

Marilyn?

I got it. Oh, my God, you're an angel.

Becca's jazz band recital starts at 7 p .m.

I got the flower delivery coming later today.

Couldn't, uh, rustle up some earplugs, could you? Come on, Suze would kill us

both. The check -in meeting, we hit our targets, all the way home, kind of

lagged in life policy, so we're going to have to push those riders.

And it is Hakeem's birthday today.

I got a card, and everyone signed it. So I crunched the numbers, and we lagged

last quarter.

Remind your clients it's never too early to take out a life policy, and they

don't want to wait until it's too late.

All right?

Good.

And last but not least, Hakeem.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Hakeem.

Happy birthday.

Weird. Where's the circuit breaker?

The guy came to check it this weekend.

What are you going to do?

Can anyone get online?

I'm trying.

I still got service.

I just saw something that said it's a terrorist attack.

We don't know that.

They're setting up evacuation sites, broadcasting them over the radio.

OK.

OK, everybody go home.

Find an evacuation site.

One second.

Marilyn, thank god you're OK. I'll be right there.

Wait, wait, wait.

I've been trying to get everything.

Greg?

Greg, I'll meet you at your place.

I'll handle things. Okay, okay.

Thank you.

Marilyn, Marilyn, are you still there? Are you okay? Nobody knows what

Everyone's leaving town.

Calm down.

I packed some sweatpants for you.

I wasn't too sure what else you might want.

I should have met you there instead of making you come here.

I wasn't thinking.

You're doing good. What if they're still in the city? What if whatever a tech

does isn't done? Angie, I'm going to take care of us, just like I promised

Hey.

I'm checking all the evacuation routes.

The highways are sprucing on the traffic.

The government's taking over buses.

They got state troopers clearing lanes.

Okay, there's a bus depot, 9th and Will.

9th and Will.

Hey, what are you...

Greg. Marilyn. I just want to let you know that the best way out of town is by

bus. Seriously?

Oh, it's okay, Marilyn. Our friends, they have a big lake house on the east

side. They say it's safe up there.

That's not far from us.

We can meet you there.

Uh... Greg?

Yeah, um... It's not our house, you know?

I mean, you know I would help if I could.

I gotta go now.

Good luck, Marilyn.

Hey, can we move things along here?

Yeah, I'm talking to you. What the hell's the plan here, huh?

Fucking dick.

Link. What?

You all thinking it? I was definitely thinking it.

What is that?

He's over here.

Where are we?

We ran out of gas.

The bus driver and some of the passengers headed back.

The rest of us thought we'd try our luck there.

How's your daughter handling this?

Evie? As well as can be expected, given everything.

I wanted to say thank you.

Your family saved my back then.

I didn't save anyone.

My sister...

Langston.

Langston, honey, please.

Where is everybody?

You think they got hit too?

The rest up in there.

Figure out next steps.

No telling when the taps will run dry.

We need to start saving water.

Yeah, two.

We can siphon it from... Hello.

Stop right there.

I... I said stop.

Look, I'm Neil.

What's your name? None of your fucking business. What do you want?

Anything edible.

Does this look like a welfare center to you?

Well, it's a church, so yeah, it kind of... Oh, no. This is a

We were evacuated from Chicago, and our bus... Don't care.

Get out.

Caroline!

What is going on?

Intruders.

Intruder loot.

No.

No, it's okay.

We'll go. Our mistake. Damn right, your mistake.

Caroline, please.

How long have you been traveling for?

We left Chicago yesterday.

We could use some food and water.

We'll leave first thing in the morning.

Stay as long as you need.

It's dangerous out there. You can shelter with us.

Pastor...

We can't.

Come to me, all ye who are weary and burdened, and I shall give you rest.

Come in.

You're welcome.

Playing it in my mind.

Every choice.

I mean, every moment.

I could have, I should have done something different.

She was my baby sister. I'm supposed to take care of her. Look, I'm sorry. No, I

can't do this.

All right?

I'm telling you, you won't last two weeks. Look, I don't want to hear about

right now.

Okay?

Dr. Allen?

Everything good?

You settling in okay? Yes.

Thank you for taking us in.

We're happy to help.

Even Carol Ann?

Well, she's, um... She's just protective.

Scared, like everyone.

It's not easy leading the flock.

A few days ago, some people from town went missing.

We looked everywhere for them, called the sheriff.

And then with the attacks, everyone started fighting, stealing. It was ugly.

So ugly.

I couldn't even protect them.

Carol Ann had to do it.

I have been praying, begging God.

for answers, for help, but let me help you.

Please.

It's what I need right now to

be useful.

Help me how?

What feels most impossible.

It won't last.

Okay.

Okay.

Show me.

From last year's food drive, lucky for us, people were generous.

Small town.

We like to help our own.

I appreciate you showing it to me.

I'm sorry. What's she doing? Okay.

Um, it's, uh, doing the numbers.

Just running numbers.

So what do you think?

I'm wet. Not her town. Not her call.

Laura, Carol Ann, just let the woman speak.

I distribute it differently.

Inventory it, organize it by what could and should be eaten first and what could

keep till later.

Wouldn't make sense to me. No, why not you, Carmichael?

I'd also have family -style meals.

It'll last longer that way.

I can do the planning.

Just crunching numbers.

You skim any extra for your little friends?

I'll know.

Got it?

Yeah.

I got it.

And soon I'll set up a schedule to divide duties, cooking, cleaning,

maintenance. We've got clean clothes for y 'all.

People left a lot of stuff behind. I also found some prescription pills at

Richards. I think Gina Rufus might be hiding something.

This is great.

We'll start a medical supply.

Wow. Great.

Have you eaten anything?

You need to eat.

Yeah, uh, Evie.

She brought me a bowl.

That's great.

Yeah, she's real pushy.

Yeah.

How you sleeping?

These pews suck.

I mean, I know.

I've got Henry looking for extra linens in town.

We can talk about it.

If you want to.

We can talk about her.

You know, that morning at breakfast, Mama asked me what I thought about her

going back to school.

She wanted to get her degree in counseling, right?

I said that.

She felt stuck and she wanted to do something that mattered.

And I laughed.

I laughed and I made some stupid joke about how my guidance counselor never

helped anyone.

And then she laughed too.

But I could tell that she was hurt.

I was able to see it in her eyes.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

No. Nothing.

Nothing is wrong with you.

She knew you didn't mean it.

You know what's crazy?

She always put everybody first.

She put me first. She put you first. And we let her.

On that day, the whole fucking world was trying to push and shove to get on that

bus. And, I mean, what would she choose herself?

I mean, she should have...

I should have... Don't blame yourself.

You did everything you could.

She was better than anybody in here.

She was better than me.

She was better than you.

It should have been me.

No, don't say that.

Don't say that.

We are all of her.

You're a mother, and we need each other.

I'm angry, too.

I'm angry at everything and everyone.

But you think that's what she would want for you?

You didn't eat yesterday.

Or this morning.

Oh, my God, it's working.

Hey, hey, hey.

I don't know how long it's going to last or if we can handle everybody's

traffic, but I still got no signal here.

Shit. My sister made it out. She's in Grand Rapids. She's safe.

What's happening?

Is there any news about the attacks?

Holy shit.

What?

You guys got to see this.

Okay, it's all right. It's all right.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Pastor, now I need a good time for a prayer.

Pastor.

Does anyone remember when I preached about prayer a few weeks ago?

You were there that Sunday, weren't you, Carmichael? Yeah, yeah, of course.

You said prayer is like a conversation with God.

I liked the simplicity of that idea.

Conversation with God.

But you can't have a conversation with someone who isn't listening.

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

This is great.

We're all fucked.

No, one scoop.

We have to stick to the ration schedule, especially now.

Who the hell elected you our leader, huh?

There's aliens roaming the fucking Earth, lady.

I'm gonna have as much hope as I want.

No, you're not.

It's not just your life on the line.

It's all of ours.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey

We all just need a minute.

Okay? They'll cool off.

Yeah, they're fucking written.

What now?

We rest.

And then tomorrow, we plan for the long haul.

I don't know if God is listening or not, but we're here.

And we're going to take care of each other.

They took everything.

Carmichael's truck, too.

They must have stolen it while we were sleeping.

It was Neil and the Rosses. It had to be.

We have to tell Pastor Allen.

He's not in his bunk. He must have gotten up early.

Pastor Allen?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Auntie?

Why were you...

Go get Carol Ann.

Marilyn.

I need you.

Marilyn,

I'm here.

I'm not gone.

Listen.

She was here.

Oh, stop.

It was in the sky. Stop it. And I heard her voice.

Hey, Auntie, stop.

I heard Auntie's voice.

Stop. What the hell is wrong with you?

Look, she's dead.

All right? We left her.

I left her.

No, it was my fault. I should have... I had her hand, and I let it slip.

Okay?

I had her...

And I let her go.

It is my fault. No.

It's my fault.

It's not.

And she knows it.

She loves you so much.

She told me. Auntie, you are talking crazy.

No. You sound crazy.

It was real.

It was real.

She was talking to me. She was talking to me about you.

About... How much she loves you and about how she wants you to live this

beautiful life.

And she wants you to go to MIT and get a house on Magnolia. Get a house on

Magnolia, MIT.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

How'd you know about the house on Magnolia? We never told anybody about

She told me.

She told me today.

When I was a kid, we used to... When I was a kid, she used to let me skip

school when she didn't have to work.

We never told you about it because we knew that you would be upset.

Used to drive around all the nice neighborhoods and look at the houses.

She'd say, you want to go shopping today?

Shopping? Yeah. There was this one house that she absolutely loved, and it was

on Magnolia Avenue.

Blue paint, white shutters.

She always wanted a house with shutters, even though they were kind of useless.

I forgot all about that.

What else did she say?

Hey. Hey, take a deep breath.

What's this?

Okay, everything's gonna be okay.

Yeah.

Hey,

what is that?

Everyone, I'd like to take a moment of silence for Pastor Allen.

I wish he could see the joy in this room right now.

Can we?

All right.

Thank you.

And I'd also like to welcome...

Our new friend, Violet.

Yeah.

We're like guardian angels saving our asses by crashing a truckload of MREs on

our doorstep.

Exactly.

What happened?

Did you fall asleep at the wheel or something?

Gift horse, Carmichael. Don't ask why.

I, um... Tell them.

Tell what?

Just before Violet came, I saw something out there.

An alien.

But it wasn't like the others.

It was beautiful.

Beautiful?

I mean, they're killers.

This one was different.

It had all these voices inside of it.

It was luminous.

My sister, Angie, was always pushing,

telling me what to do.

I mean, she would never stop.

Came from love, but it drove me crazy.

Langton, you remember?

Yeah. I kept thinking about that.

Who's going to tell me what to do?

Push me to be better.

Two better.

And I could feel her slipping away.

You all know that feeling.

Something found me on that field.

A new kind of being.

Alien, but I think it wanted me to know why they're here.

To kill us and destroy our planet.

No.

The real reason.

The gift they want to give us.

When it was hovering over me, I heard Angie again.

Reaching out to me.

Guiding me.

She's up there. What? I think it's some kind of gateway to something beyond us,

to everyone we've lost.

That's impossible.

Okay, Marilyn?

You just miss her.

No. I did some research, and there are others.

And other people have seen them, too.

There's been these reports of people just disappearing.

Not killed.

Just gone.

Didn't that happen here?

Right before we sewed up?

It did.

So how come the government's not talking about it, huh? Because the government

is fucking useless.

Langston. I've been hacking their database.

NASA, the FBI, the military. They have no idea what these things are. And even

if they did, they wouldn't tell us.

Because that's what they do.

They hide the truth, and they keep out in the dark.

I saw it, too.

I did. I, uh...

I was so scared I drove off the road.

But I've just been sitting here wondering if maybe they brought me here

all.

Look, this is... If there's even a chance that this is true,

I'd do anything to hear my wife's voice again, to feel her presence.

They didn't kill us.

They could have wiped out this family we've built here.

Maybe there's a reason for that.

For us.

A purpose.

Something... greater.

Drag it over here.

Yeah. Nice.

Hello.

Welcome.

Hi.

I'm Nora.

This is my mom, Greta.

She's not well.

I heard there was a safe place, but I didn't imagine this.

We have a clinic right down the street. A clinic?

Wow.

And the hunter -killer attack in Naperville, it didn't reach you here?

No. And we're concerned with human threats here.

But we do take care of each other here.

Everything is shared. Food, water, medicine, clothing.

Everybody does their part.

You know, we try to spread the truth and give people hope so that we're worthy.

Worthy of what?

What comes next.

Auntie, this is Nora, and this is Gretta. Hi.

I'm Marilyn.

Have you come a long way?

Kansas City.

Yeah, hunter -killers.

Our house.

My husband.

I'm so sorry.

You'll be safe here.

Greta needs to see a doctor. I'll take you. Thank you. Come on.

Kansas City is working.

Just like you said, the scouts, the outreach.

I'm so proud of you.

She would be, too.

Of the both of us.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You need to see this.

I know I speak for us all when I say we owe a great debt to Navy...

It's dead.

It's dead.

It's dead.

It's dead. It's dead.

Behind me you can see images and videos are flooding in, citizens across the

planet.

Please.

Breathe.

It's not over.

It's not?

No. We were wrong before.

Thinking all we had to do was be worthy.

And the heavens would open for us.

We have to earn it.

With faith.

With fearlessness.

With everything we have.

And then the gates will reopen.

To our loved ones, to everyone that we've lost.

If we are prepared.

Yes.

If we're vigilant.

One day.

One day.

A fine will come.

I'll have Mr. Hollander call you back, General.

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

You won't stall the WDC for long?

Long enough.

You worried about Joel?

Joel's not alone.

It never gets easier.

I know.

They died so we could finish our mission.

Our calling.

Last time I spoke to Carmichael, he described it to me.

The new world.

A garden grows from nothing, he said.

They walk among us, and the air ripples with life.

The WDC, those people out there.

They call it the dead zone.

There's no place more alive.

They have risen.

And they're growing.

The new Eden.

And there's no way in hell I'm letting anyone destroy it.

What do we do now, Verna?

I told you a sign would come.

And it did.

I told you the gates would open.

And they will.

Follow me.
