Dad, you in the garage or what?

Dad?

Boy, stop your yapping.

I just slipped into the bookstore.

I'm running a little errand.

Dad, I hate it when you wander off like this.

[Mike laughs] Well, consider it practice

for when I get old and senile.

Well, you already are.

[Mike] What's that, son? I don't think I heard that correctly.

What are you doing?

Picking up a little something for Zora.

I'll be right there.

-[Maya] Zora. -Hmm?

That is distracting and unhygienic.

[door buzzes]

[computer] Airlock door unlocked.

[Maya] It's your dad.

Hey.

Where's Grandpa?

Dad?

[computer] Airlock door locked.

[music stops]

I know he was trying to talk to me,

and... just...

I'll bury him tomorrow.

[Maya] I'll help you.

[Darius] No, I'm taking him to my mother.

Your mother is in a cemetery over five miles away, Darius.

It's where he belongs.

[Maya] That's not safe.

It's the right thing to do.

-Come here. -[Maya] What?

[Darius] We've been in here three years now.

When's the last time we saw anyone?

I can go with you, Dad.

-[Maya] What? -[Darius] No.

No, Zora, you're staying.

No! Absolutely not!

It's a seven-hour trek. You're not going!

[Zora] Going to my room.

[footsteps receding]

[door slides open, closes]

[Maya] Do you really have to go tomorrow?

You are everything in my heart.

You know that.

Yes.

Yes, you are my everything.

You know that, do you?

We need you right here.

-Okay? -I'm here.

Always.

[Maya] A whole day out there seems really dangerous.

[Darius] I'll be back as soon as I can.

[Maya] I love you.

[Darius] I love you.

[footsteps approaching]

Hey, Dad.

Dad?

Why did Grandpa go up there?

I don't know, Zora.

But I need you to do me a few favors.

One, check the levels on the generator.

Two, check in on your mom.

And three...

try not to kill each other while I'm gone.

Okay. One, yes.

Two, yes.

Three...

Maybe?

Come on, Dad, you know how she can get.

I know how you can get too.

I told your mother the same thing.

You need to support each other.

She loves you.

And I love you both more than anything.

Somethin' I've been meaning to give to you.

[chuckles]

I want a full report by the end of the week.

I can do that.

I love you, Black man.

I love you too, Black woman.

Bring it in.

Portable life system needed.

[alarm blaring]

[Zora] If I knew then that that would be the last time

I would ever see my dad,

I might have tried harder to go with him.

I was 12 when the world changed,

and everything went to shit.

We reached a tipping point.

It all happened so quickly.

In a matter of months, trees and plant life ceased to exist.

Oxygen levels plummeted from 27 percent to five percent.

Soon, you couldn't go outside without a breathing device.

People banded together, for a little while.

But lucky for us,

my dad was an engineer, but he was also a survivalist.

For years, people called him a nut.

But, to be fair, they had a point.

To foresee a world without oxygen

and build a survival bunker in Brooklyn in preparation,

one would have to be crazy.

Too bad he wasn't.

So, when the shit hit the fan, [scoffs]

we were prepared physically.

Emotionally and mentally...

not so much.

[disturbing music playing]

[gun cocks]

[funky music playing]

No.

No.

[laughs] Hell no.

Now, that is more like it.

Yes, sir.

I was calling you.

You're supposed to be out here helping me,

not wandering around clothes shopping!

I may have just lost signal,

-but I told you I was going to-- -I don't want to hear it!

Let's go.

Move faster! You're moving too slow.

We've still got to check the water reclamation systems

like you were supposed to.

[door beeps, buzzes]

Get in there.

Go.

["PLB" playing on speaker]

[thuds]

Harriet, take me to the ocean.

[Harriet] Taking you to the ocean.

[waves lapping on TV]

[Zora into ham radio] Darius Houston?

You out there, Dad?

It's been a while since we talked.

[chuckles] And per your orders,

Mom and I haven't killed each other yet.

So I'm being good...

most of the times.

What else?

Oh, I finally finished the book you gave me.

It was powerful.

And if I'm being honest,

it took me a while to finish it.

It was because I knew it was the last thing

you'd ever give me, the last gift

that I'd ever get from you.

I didn't want that gift to end.

And that by letting it go unfinished in some weird way

kept you here and alive and with us,

if that makes sense.

-Cheese. -There you go.

[Zora into ham radio] Speaking of us, good Lord.

Me and Mom?

You were a good referee, Dad.

Without you, some of these fights can get a little dirty.

But I know she's struggling...

even if she doesn't like talking about it.

Anyways, um...

everything seems to be good for the moment.

Still here, still breathing.

[radio comms crackle]

Dad?

Dad?

Hello?

[computer] Hydrogen level critical.

Hmm.

We should end early.

You need a spa day.

No, I don't.

-Yes, you-- -Ma, no, I don't.

Those nails.

I told you, you are your mother's daughter.

[laughs]

[Maya] You're fuzzy.

Relax though.

[Zora] You're good, Mom. [laughing]

[Maya] I thought you said I was doing good.

You tender-headed, that's what it is.

-Give me some oil, because these edges, honey... -No, Ma.

-Girl. Come on. -Don't do that.

-Hold on. -What?

I'm looking for your edges.

[laughs] Listen clearly.

I don't need no edges.

["My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane playing]

Thank you for listening to my music.

I mean, I know it's not your thing.

[chuckles]

-Ma? -Hmm?

Tomorrow, I'm gonna go look for Dad.

Oh, baby. We... [sighs deeply]

we've been over this.

You know I looked.

And never found him.

He could still be... I don't know, out there.

Okay, we got to stay focused.

Baby, you know we're making headway in the garden.

Planting seeds every day.

Checking them every day.

One of these days, something will grow.

Ma, we haven't seen a living thing in three years.

You keep planting seeds and nothing is growing.

The soil is dead.

Ma, you keep trying and trying

-for years and-- -Yes, and I'm gonna continue

to try and so will you.

The world can heal if we give it time, baby.

-We just gotta keep at it. -Ma, I do try.

But you get on me for every little thing.

Zora...

Ma, you've been like that my whole life.

Admit it.

Enough is enough.

We cannot keep fighting like this.

Why you gotta be so damn difficult all the time?

Wonder where I got it from?

[spoon clanks]

[clattering]

[swing creaking]

Zora...

Why don't you trust me?

I'm sorry for what I said last night.

Baby, I know what you're capable of.

So if I'm hard on you,

it's because I know what the world demands.

You hear me?

I know what the world demands,

and I know what the world will demand of you.

[Zora] I get all that, Ma.

But if you want me to show you what I can do...

then at some point, you have to give me the chance.

We're going to work on this together.

Say it.

We're going to work on this together.

We're gonna work on this together.

Okay.

But can we start with you helping me

run the soil sample test for the garden?

Mmm...

[chuckles] Let's get inside.

Okay. Come on, baby.

[chuckles]

Okay.

[Tess] All right, let's do it. Come on.

[Maya] Quick. Come on. Come on.

Shit.

[cart clanking]

[knocking on door]

[Lucas] Gah!

[Tess] Hello?!

Oh, my God.

[banging on door]

Is anyone here?

-[Lucas grunts] -[Tess] Check the sides.

[banging on door]

Please!

[Lucas grunts]

[Tess] Try the roof.

[Zora] Maybe they're help.

[Maya] Look.

When we get a chance, we run for it.

Get ready.

-[alarm beeping] -[computer] Oxygen supply at 50 percent.

Is anyone there?

Hello?

[static over radio]

What? What?

Over there! Go--

-[static over radio] -I'm not co--

[grunts]

[groans]

Hey, hey, hey!

Chill! Chill!

Wait!

[Lucas] Hey, hey, hey! Chill!

[door slides open]

[Tess] No! No, no, no, no, no!

Please!

Please!

[computer] Airlock depressurizing.

[alarm wailing]

[Tess] Hey! Hey!

Can you hear us?

Please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

We're not trying to hurt you.

Can you hear us? We need your help.

Who the hell are you?

[Tess] I'm so sorry.

We're-- we're not trying to hurt you.

No, I asked you who the freak are you?

-[Lucas] Tell her, tell her. -[Tess] My-my name is Tess.

My-- my overreacting friend here is Lucas. Okay?

We--we've come from a--

Us, along with 25 other people live in a shelter

about a hundred miles south of here, in Philadelphia.

Our air filtration system is failing.

We can't-- we can't fix it.

We-- we tried, but-- but we can't.

We're living on reserves.

We-- we only have a week's worth left.

We've been traveling for three days

to get here, to come here.

I know your husband, Darius Houston.

How do you know my husband?

[Tess] I'm a physics--

I was a physics professor at Temple University.

I-- he even consulted me on a few of his projects.

[Maya] I'm-I'm sorry, but I think I know everyone

that Darius worked with.

Well, obviously not because--

because you don't know me.

But I know what he was working on.

And-- and it looks like he succeeded

because-- because you're-- you're still breathing.

I'm talking about the O2 generator.

Look, I just came here to talk to Darius.

I need to learn to replicate it.

Darius is not here.

He left months ago and never came back.

We haven't heard from him since.

Okay, okay. Maya. Is that--

is that your name, Maya?

And is that-- is that your daughter?

What's her name again? Zora?

Look, I... I'm so sorry to hear about Darius.

But I still need to replicate that machine.

And-- and to do that, you're gonna have to let us in.

Please. We don't have enough oxygen to get back home,

and if we don't get back,

25 people will die.

Nine of them are children.

Mm-mm. How the freak do I know that?

I'm sorry, but this place cannot hold

any more people up in here.

The system could crash with more bodies inside.

So you got to go somewhere else.

[Tess] I'll-- I'll be quick.

I'll be quick. I swear. I promise.

[Maya] I'm just supposed to believe

if you can't replicate the machine, you'll just walk away?

How do we know you're not just trying to get up in our space?

Because you have my word.

[Zora] Maybe they're telling the truth.

Mute it.

Zora...

I have no idea who these people are.

She knows my name.

-She knows your name. -So then what?

So somehow she knows us.

If she's telling the truth

and she could possibly replicate Dad's invention,

then we could be on to something big, Ma.

Hello?

If we didn't know Dad,

and he came knocking on our door just how they are,

we would be the type of people that would let him die.

You can't be serious, Zora.

If she knew Dad, maybe she knows enough

to help me build those system improvements I showed you.

Okay.

Thought about it.

[Zora] Think harder.

[door opening]

[tense music playing]

[Maya] Tell me your names.

First and last.

-Lucas Tomek. -Tess Grainer.

[Maya] One at a time.

Start again. What's your name?

Tess Grainer.

Lu-cas.

-To-mek. -Okay, smartass.

Tess Grainer, right?

I never heard Darius mention you.

Again, we were colleagues.

[Maya] Now what's your deal, Lucas Tomek?

-[Tess] He's here to protect me. -[Maya] Mm-hmm.

What's the shelter you come from?

It's a-- a-- it's, uh,

it's a fallout shelter in Philly.

A group of us who knew about it made it our home.

[Maya] Uh-huh. Yeah, okay.

Tess, that's your name?

Tie up Lucas.

Okay, okay. Is this really necessary?

[Maya] He keeps talking shit it's necessary.

Please. Just, just you're pointing the gun at me

and I-- I-- I just-- would hate for you to misfire.

[Maya] What the hell was that you pointed at me?

Now get your ass up and tie him up.

I'm not doing that!

Yes, you are!

[Maya] Tie him up.

Jesus Christ, Lucas.

-[zip tie tightens] -What's going on?

-What is this? -[Maya] What?

[Tess] I messed it up.

-What? Messed up what? -[Tess] It broke.

-I messed it up. -[Maya] Messed what up?

It broke!

-I've-- I've never really zip-tied anybody before. -[Maya] Okay. Here.

Here go another one.

Now you mess that shit up, you gonna lose your damn invite.

-Yeah, why don't you do it? -[Maya] Get it right. Shut! Up!

-Will you stop talking back! -[Lucas] Okay, I will.

Hey! Damn! Damn!

She's doing it too tight. It's too tight.

[Maya] Let me see. Let me see.

-[Tess] Show him. -[Lucas] It's there, okay?

Get on the floor.

-[Lucas] What? -Get on the ground.

Both of you get on the ground. Now!

Lay down!

On your stomach.

-[Lucas] Huh? -[Maya] Lay on your stomach.

Yes.

[Lucas] We good now? We good now?

[Maya] Tess, what's up with your boy?

You better get him.

I-- I-- can-- I can see that, Maya.

-[Maya] Tess. -I'm really regretting this.

[Maya] Tess, I think you need to be retied.

Over here. Put your hands behind your back.

[Lucas] Don't hurt her.

Just shut up, Lucas.

[Lucas] Just be careful putting 'em on.

[Maya] Did I not tell you to shut up?

[Tess panting]

[Maya] You're good.

Get up.

No. Just her.

Get-- sit down!

-[Lucas] What? -[Maya] Just her.

You sit down.

Get up.

Wait.

Maya, he's only got a few hours of oxygen left, please.

If things go right inside, we'll see about him.

Okay. It's gonna be okay. I promise.

I'll be here.

[Micah] Stop!

[gunshots]

[grunts in pain]

[grunts]

Zora!

-[Tess] No! -[alarm blaring]

[Maya] Get your ass up. Turn around.

[all shouting]

[Micah] Don't shoot.

Micah! Do what they say.

[Zora] Okay. All right.

-All right. -You got him?

Okay.

-[gun cocks] -Tess, what the hell was that?

[Tess] Maya. Maya, I'm sorry.

That-- that is Micah.

He's our-- he's our lookout.

[Maya] Lookout?

Well, I didn't know if I could trust you either.

We needed someone to stay behind and watch.

I saw you cuffing them up.

I thought you were taking them hostage.

-Hostage? -[Micah] I don't know.

You're full of shit.

Okay.

Everybody, just-- just calm down.

This was-- this was a misunderstanding.

Get the hell away from my door or I'm gonna shoot his ass.

Okay, go ahead and shoot him.

Our shelter's out of oxygen, so we're dead anyway.

Remember what I told you,

there are kids there. Lives depend on us.

Tess, that is some bullshit.

Everything y'all have said is straight bullshit.

[Tess] Okay, Maya.

I'm sorry, but I need to see that machine

and I will see it one way or the other.

I don't trust shit else you got to say,

not a mother freaking thing.

Y'all full of shit and you can't be trusted.

You have the option

of whether or not anyone else gets hurt.

Think about your daughter and do the right thing.

You got me real fucked up

if you think you coming up into my house.

Try that shit if you want to, Tess.

-[gun cocks] -Try it!

[panting angrily]

[Lucas struggling]

I told you this wasn't gonna work.

The dad's not even here. Now cut me loose.

All right, so your plan sucked.

Can we do it my way now?

Get the drill.

We're gonna get a look at that O2 generator, no matter what.

[groaning]

Thank you.

This is your fault.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I wasn't only talking to you.

I should have never let you talk me into going out there.

So, what, it's my fault?

-And my fault for listening to you. -[Micah grunts]

Is this-- is this it?

[Maya] Not an engineer like your friend?

Locksmith.

You never stood a chance to get up in this place.

Talk about some damn locksmith.

The place is a fortress. No one is getting in.

We'll see...

[Zora] So why did you run at us out there?

I told you, I saw my friends being cuffed

and led in here and I freaked.

-Sorry. -Don't listen to him.

Don't talk to my daughter.

-[Micah] She asked me-- -Shut up!

Don't talk to me, either.

I talk when I'm nervous.

[receding footsteps]

You still believe him, don't you?

I want to.

And I know you do too. Because you bandaged him up.

[Maya] We gave them a chance.

They threw it away.

-At least hear me out. -I did hear you out.

Get me a flashlight and some copper wires.

[computer] System compromised.

[Maya] Flashlight and what?

[Zora] Copper wires!

[Micah] You're wasting time. You're wasting time.

-Just let them in! -[Maya] Shut up!

If we don't survive, your ass don't survive.

[drilling continues]

I got the-- I got-- I got the flashlight.

And I got the wires!

[Lucas] Boom, b-b-boom, b-b-boom-boom-boom. Boom!

[computer] Warning!

[Zora] Screwdriver.

[Micah] You're out of your mind. Just let them in.

They're gonna get in here, one way or the other.

Just let them in, please.

You're wasting time.

I'm gonna smack the shit out of you

if you keep on talking. Shut up!

[drill sparking]

-Come on. Let's go. -[Maya] Okay, okay.

Come on. Get moving.

Okay, come on. Let's go. Let's go.

Zora, come on. We ain't got time.

[Lucas] We're getting through!

Come on. Zora, it's now or never.

-What's that static? -[electricity crackles]

[Lucas groans]

[Tess] Jesus Christ, what happened?

I don't know. Tess, I don't know.

Damn it!

We got it. We got it.

-We did it! -Bitch!

[Lucas groans]

-We got nothing. -[both panting]

Okay. All right.

You stay. Guard the door.

[Lucas strains]

Well, hello, jackass.

How did you do that?

How did you come up with it?

Electromagnetic pulse, Mom.

What you got now, locksmith? Huh?

You're making a mistake. I'm not your enemy.

[Zora] Bullshit.

We're not.

-I just, just trying... -[computer] Warning.

Carbon dioxide levels are rising.

-Oxygen levels compromised. -[Zora] Ma.

Shit.

-[Zora] Come look. -What? Oh, my God.

[computer] Carbon dioxide levels are rising.

It's like, it's like she's pumping CO2.

[computer] Warning. Carbon dioxide levels...

We'll never gonna be able to scrub this fast enough.

-[Tess strains] -How long until it's dangerous?

[computer] Warning!

[Maya] Five minutes. Come on, put your mask on.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Come on.

Oh, my God.

-Put it on. Right now. -[Micah] What about my mask?

[Maya] Shut up! Put it on, baby.

-I need to be able to breathe too. -[Maya] Shut up!

-We gotta stop her. -[Zora] Yeah, but she's on the roof

and that other guy's probably waiting outside the door.

We need the garage door opener.

Come on.

Help me find it, all right?

We ain't got much time, Zora. Find it.

We've gotta make it quick.

-I found it. -What? You got it?

Come on. Hurry up. Here we go.

-Come on in here. -What?

-Where are you? -[Lucas] Come on.

You don't like to listen.

Your ass is supposed to be covering the goddamn front door.

Here, here.

Come on. Quickly. Quickly.

[Tess] Lucas, do not move till I get down there.

[Micah] Please.

I have a kid back there.

Yeah, really? What's their name?

Claire.

She's six.

She likes peaches.

Canned peaches.

I'm sorry, I can't.

[groans] Please, no, no.

Please don't leave me here.

Don't leave me here.

No, please.

I'm begging you. Please!

[gasping for air]

[Tess] I thought you said the garage door was open.

Yeah, it was.

You told me to stay put and they'd closed it again

after you were getting off the roof.

Jesus Christ, Lucas.

I cut off their air. They're going to get out.

Come on. We gotta go!

-[gunfire] -[Tess groans]

[gunshots]

Are you okay? It was my fault.

It was my fault.

Tell me, are you okay? Please.

Shut up.

Could you...

[breathing through mask]

Micah?

I want to trust you

so I'm gonna make you a deal.

I'm gonna ask you a question,

and for every honest answer you give me,

I'll give you one second to breathe.

[breathing through mask]

Did you kill my dad,

and is that how you know about this place?

No, we didn't kill your dad. We didn't.

And no, that's not how we know about this place.

[inhales deeply]

So we got you out, Maya. You want to talk now?

[gunshot]

Say something!

[gunshot]

-[Zora] That lady? -Tess.

Did she really work with my dad?

[Micah] Yes.

We're the good guys.

[breathes heavily] Your mom's wrong. You're right.

Trust your instincts.

Look, if you just let them in

and let Tess get a look at your oxygen generator, we'll be gone.

Maybe she can even improve on your dad's design.

No, no, no, no, one more thing. One more thing.

If you let Tess die out there...

we'll never know either way.

[computer] CO2 levels returning to normal.

-[keyboard keys clacking] -[program running]

[breathing rapidly]

[computer beeping]

I'm gonna cover you.

You can get in through the left side of the shop, okay?

I can distract her.

Okay.

By coming out here,

she's given us one thing that we can use.

What daughter wouldn't open the door

for their mother?

She's our ticket inside.

She's gonna tell her kid not to open up.

Yeah, I know. But she wants to trust us.

She'll let us in.

I'm in.

[Tess] All right.

[rapid gunfire]

Go! Whoo!

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

[rapid gunfire]

Damn it.

Okay, Maya. Enough of this.

[straining, breathing deeply]

We don't have time for this.

I'm coming out.

Look, here's my gun.

[Micah breathing deeply]

If you want to shoot me, here I am.

I'm right here, Maya.

[Maya] Ah!

[grunting]

Ah!

[grunting and groaning]

Ahh!

[groans] Shit, you broke my freaking leg!

Get up!

Stop! Chill! Chill!

I'm not going to hurt you.

Stop.

[grunting in pain]

[gun cocks]

[panting]

[grunting]

Ah! Ah, my ear!

Ah!

[groans]

I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

[panting]

How do you work this thing? Tess?

-She can't hear you, dumbass. -Tess!

Tess?

-Tess, can you hear me? -Micah!

-[Maya] Zora? -Ma?

-Zora! -Ma, I'm okay.

He just tied me up, okay? Don't let them in.

-Are you okay? -[Micah] I got free.

[Tess] You're free.

What the hell is going on? Micah!

[Maya] Zora, you okay, baby?

Stop talking! I can't, I can't think.

I'm not gonna tell him shit.

[Tess] What the hell is going on?

Micah!

-Micah, open the door. -[Maya] Zora!

-Open the door. -[pants]

[Maya] Zora, it's okay.

What the hell is going on?

Micah!

-[Zora] Locksmith? -[breathing heavily]

[Tess] Micah!

Micah, your back.

-[Maya] Zora... -[Tess] Open the door.

-[Maya] Zora. -I'm not feeling so good.

Oh.

[Maya] Zora! Zora!

[Tess] Micah, what's going on?

Micah, wake up.

Stop playing. It's not funny.

Wake up!

[Tess] Open the door.

He's dead. He can't open the door.

[Tess] Micah!

He's dead.

[Tess] Open the door.

I can't open it.

Hey, Zora, that's a real pretty name.

My name is Lucas.

You got five seconds to open the door

or else I'm gonna kill your mom.

-Come on, baby. -[Lucas] One...

[Maya] It's okay.

[Lucas] ...two...

three...

-four... -Oh, my God. Zora!

[grunting]

-[Lucas] Five. -[beeps]

[Zora] He's dead.

I'm on his mic, okay? I'm on his mic.

Bullshit.

What?

He's got Zora?

He's with Zora.

Micah's dead.

He tied me up. I can't move.

I swear. Believe me.

-Please don't hurt my mom. -Is Zora, is Zora okay?

He tied up your daughter

and if you wanna save her, you better give us the code.

Give us the goddamn code!

[Maya] It won't work.

-[Lucas] Why not? -[Maya] I told you it won't work!

[Lucas] Why not?

What's going on?

You need a keycard.

[both] Where's the keycard?

The keycard is inside.

-Inside? -[Lucas] Why?

To keep people like you from in there!

That's why!

It's not...

get that freaking gun out my face.

-You better think. You better think. -[Lucas] Okay, okay.

So now-- now what do we do?

Now what do we do?

Your baby's gonna die in there.

She's gonna die in there.

Maybe...

-[Tess] Maybe what? -Maybe...

[Tess] Maybe what?

Please, the gun... Anyway...

there's another way, I just...

none of us have enough oxygen to get to.

[Tess] To get to what? To get to what?

There's another keycard.

-[Tess] Where? -It's not here. It's--

it's a hike away.

I'll keep you breathing.

You get us there.

Lucas, give me one of the spares.

-[Maya] This is it, right here. -[Lucas] This?

-[Maya] This is it. -[Lucas] Okay, okay, okay.

[Maya] It's the car.

[Tess] When was the last time you charged this thing?

I check the charge at least once a month.

Go check it.

-What? -[Tess] Go on, check it.

[car engine revs]

Yeah. There we go. Road trip.

All right, you stay.

-[Lucas] What? -If that kid gets free,

someone needs to be here.

[Lucas] Hey, you listen to me, Maya.

You try anything cute, there'll be hell to pay.

You hear me?

You have a safe trip.

I need to tell my daughter something first.

Zora, you copy?

Your mom wants to say something to you.

Tell her that I'm okay.

She wants you to know that she's okay.

And tell her that I'm gonna fix everything.

And that she's gonna fix everything.

And tell her I'll be back.

She wants you to know that she'll be back.

Tell her that I love her.

And that... and that she loves you.

Just let me talk to my mom, please.

Where are we going?

We're going to the last place I ever wanted to go.

We're going to see my husband.

[Tess] Is your leg gonna be okay to drive?

[Maya] I'm not going to win any foot races

but I'll live. No thanks to y'all.

Hurts like a bastard, though.

[Tess] Is Darius still alive?

We're going to see what's left of him.

Enough of this cryptic shit.

What happened to him?

Five months ago, Darius's father died.

The next day, Darius left to bury him.

Darius never came back.

That night, I found a note.

Darius realized that he made a miscalculation

with the CO2 scrubbers.

Even without his father, the system was still pushing too hard

and it would eventually fail.

It was just a matter of time.

This generator can only support two people?

[Maya] But with two people instead of three,

it gave us more time.

More time for Zora to figure things out.

Every hour,

every day, every week he was there,

that was one less hour, day, or week for his family.

Zora shares his technical brains.

He hoped that with enough time, she could solve his failures.

So maybe when you get down there,

you could figure out what he couldn't.

Yeah.

Maybe.

And you never told any of this to your daughter?

No.

I thought we'd have more time.

While I understand what Darius thought he had to do,

he gave up.

I couldn't let Zora think that giving up was ever an option.

I just couldn't.

Harriet, play John Coltrane.

"Favorite Things."

[beeping]

[Harriet] Now playing John Coltrane's

"My Favorite Things."

["My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane playing]

[beeps]

[Lucas over comms] Yo, this song. Who is this?

It's Coltrane.

Coltrane.

Coltrane. [chuckles]

[Tess] Where are we?

[Maya] Prospect Park.

The final resting place of Darius Houston.

We had a lot of good memories here.

Oh, I think my leg is getting worse.

[Tess] Do you need a hand?

[Maya] From you?

I'll manage.

[Tess] All right, so what are we looking for?

We need to hurry up.

[sentimental music playing]

[sobbing]

[Tess] Maya, we're running out of time.

It's my husband.

Darius.

[sobs]

Maya, the keycard.

[clattering]

Did you find it?

I got it.

Oh, God.

[car engine sputtering]

Shit.

God damn it!

It's dead.

[sobs]

We could walk back.

You need to give me the keycard.

Maya.

Okay.

Before you do anything stupid, just think about this.

You can hardly move.

I'll barely make it as it is.

If we both go, neither of us has a chance.

You can trust me.

You have a daughter?

Do you have a daughter?

Yeah, I did.

I will take care of her.

I promise.

The door code is 1867.

I'll try and come back for you.

That's nice of you to say.

Just don't let anything happen to my daughter.

[sobs]

[panting]

[screams]

[panting]

The car broke down.

The code is 1-8-6-7.

I have to go back for her.

[gate opens]

[Lucas] Come on. Come on.

[Tess breathing with difficulty]

[computer] Airlock door unlocked.

[breathing deeply]

Where's my mom?

Answer me, where's my mom?

Oh, my God. Your mom.

Oh, God. The car broke down...

and, um, your mom's leg is super messed up,

but she's okay. She's okay.

Is that my dad's keycard?

-How the hell did you get my dad's key? -Okay, okay, just please.

Please. I'm trying to tell you.

Um...

I really, I, I really, really wish

that I didn't have to tell you this.

But, um...

your... your dad knew that this place

couldn't sustain all of you indefinitely

and, um, he left here.

He left here because he wanted you and your mom to--

to live just a little bit longer.

-Just wait... -[Lucas] Tess.

And-- and your mom...

[Lucas] Tess?

-[Tess] What? -Look at this. Look at this.

[Zora] No, I don't believe you, okay?

You killed my mom and you killed my dad.

No, no, I didn't.

Okay, your mom may still be alive

and I'm gonna get her. I need to refill my tank.

-Let me-- let me refill my tank. -Hey.

-I'm gonna go get her. -Hey, you're not going anywhere.

[Tess] Yes, I have to get her.

[Lucas] Why?

Because... because I promised her.

You made a promise to us.

No, don't listen to him.

-[Lucas] Let's-- let's just do what we came to do. -Don't listen to him.

-Ugh! -[Lucas] Okay?

-[Zora] Please. -I'm sorry.

-[Zora] Please. -Please, I'm sorry.

-I-- I-- I'm gonna be quick. -Okay.

Tess, that's your name, right?

That's your name?

It's Tess.

Please. I need you to untie me.

Okay? I can help you, okay?

I need my mom.

She's all that I have left.

God damn it!

Okay, I need to go get her mother.

-I'm wasting time. -Get back to work.

-[Tess] No. -Yeah, just pick--

pick up the screwdriver. What's the problem?

Just-- just get to it.

I promised her mom. She doesn't have time.

-Okay. -Hey, hey.

-I'm gonna count to five, all right? -[Tess] Okay, okay, okay.

I can't kill you but I can kill the reasons you wanna go back.

-One, two, three, four, five! -Just put the gun down.

Put the gun freaking down!

Jesus Christ!

I'm gonna do it.

-Calm down. -[Lucas] I'm calm. I'm relaxed.

-Okay. -[Lucas] Look at me.

I'm-- I'm cool, cool as Coltrane, right?

[screwdriver whirring]

[mouths] I'm sorry.

[screwdriver whirring continues]

[Lucas] Okay, there we go.

[machine beeping]

Whoa.

That "whoa" good?

Huh?

[Tess] Ah...

-[Lucas] What is it? -I mean...

[Lucas] Yeah, get in there,

-take your time. -I-- I-- I don't know.

-I don't know. -[Lucas] Yes, you do.

-Just get in there. -[sighs]

It's a-- it's a little more complicated than I thought.

[Lucas] Ah, you got it. Just take it apart.

Just, you know, do your thing. And you got time.

I don't know. Um...

[Lucas] Yeah. I'll just sit here.

[hesitates] I don't know if I could do this.

[Lucas] Yeah, you can.

You're smart. We have time.

Uh...

You can-- you can replicate it.

-Yeah? -[Tess] I-- I--

I don't think I can.

-[Lucas] Why? -[Tess] A-- a-- a...

Wait, you thinkin' about the mom again?

Huh?

Three days we walked here.

In three days, we give you food, water, air.

Now you get here, and you don't want to be here.

I can't replicate it.

-[Lucas] No? -No.

It would take weeks.

-Yeah? -[Tess] Yeah.

-We don't have weeks. -[Tess] No.

No?

Think.

-Oh, God. -[Lucas] What did the dad--

he must have told you something about how it worked.

-Just-- just take it apart. Do your thing. -[Tess laughing]

-[Lucas laughs] -I don't know the dad.

-[Lucas] Yes, you do. -No. I don't know him.

I lied. I lied.

-[Lucas] Bullshit. -Never talked to him in my life.

[Lucas] How did you know where the place was?

-[Tess] Yeah, I have a radio. -A radio?

[Tess] I listened on my radio every night,

and I would hear her talking to her dad, okay?

And I got all the information that I thought I could use

because I really thought that maybe I could replicate it.

I-- I did. I swear to God I did.

But now that I'm here, I don't know.

[Lucas] And if you weren't able to do what you promised,

you'd still be safe here, is that it?

So you said whatever it took to get you here.

Even if I could fix it,

this thing will only sustain two people.

[Zora] No!

[gun cocks]

Holy shit.

What did you do?

What did you do?

Oh, my God! [sobbing]

No! What did you do?

Oh, my God.

[sobbing]

[suspenseful music playing]

I like your room.

I can't let you out...

'cause you're a little upset

and you might do something crazy.

[sobs]

Yeah, I'll fix that.

And him.

What are you gonna do?

Where I came from, there was a failing system.

Tess said she was the only one that could fix it.

Tess ain't fixing much now, is she?

And you got a working system, so...

yeah.

Okay.

Hey, look, it takes two people

to maintain the oxygen generator.

I don't know if I can do it on my own.

I need to get my mom. [sniffles]

-Your mom is dead. -No.

No. No.

Tess said she could still be alive.

Shh.

You're gonna believe her...

or me?

Okay. Okay.

Just-- just give me a chance to show you that--

that you can trust me.

I trust you. Oh, I trust you.

-Okay. -So much. Yeah.

Yeah, that's why you've got to teach me how the place works.

Okay. [sniffles] Please just...

So I can't let you go.

[sobbing] Please just let me go.

-Hey, hey, hey. Hey. -Please.

-[sobbing] -There you go.

Hey.

[sobbing]

It's okay. It's okay. I'm here.

I'm here for you.

[sobbing]

You know, I think that we could be great friends.

[sniffling]

Oh, yeah.

Soup. You got, uh,

you got a can opener?

[Zora] So where was this colony that you guys came from?

Told you, Philly. Broad Street Subway.

[Zora] That's like a hundred miles from here.

You still got friends there? People you care about?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Can opener?

What is wrong with you? Like what?

You're gonna let all those people back there die,

people that you know die.

Like, are you crazy?

[knife clanks]

No, I'm at peace with it.

[alarm blaring]

What is that?

[Zora] This just happens sometimes.

The solar cables are starting to degrade

so we go out and fix them.

[humming under his breath]

Fix it.

[Zora] Yo. What the hell?

[Lucas] I keep you on a short leash.

[Zora sighs deeply]

You get nine minutes and 29 seconds.

Zora.

-Zora, are you okay? -Are you okay?

Are you okay?

I really thought I lost you.

I would never leave you.

Babe what's wrong?

Tess told me something about Dad.

I'm sorry.

I should've told you.

I just--

I wanted to tell you

but it just seemed like too much to put on you, baby.

That burden. I was wrong, babe. I'm sorry.

We're gonna take back our home, okay?

[Zora] Mom, these white folks are crazy.

Tess lied and Lucas killed her.

She's been lying to us.

She's been lying to him even. She didn't even know Dad.

How did she know about Dad and-- and the generator?

[Zora] I made a ham radio and I would...

I would try to talk to Dad, okay,

and sometimes I said a little bit too much. I just...

Zora.

I just needed someone to talk to.

I know I messed up.

And I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault. It's my fault for not listening to you.

We're in this together, right?

Look at me. Say it.

-[Zora] We're in this together. -We're in this together.

Look. Okay,

we don't have much time.

You can do this.

You see, I believe in you, right?

Okay.

I love you.

I love you too.

Open the door! I got less than a minute left.

-Open the door. -[alarm beeping]

Open the goddamn door.

Yo, open the door.

You're not gonna let me in, are you?

Look, let me in.

Please!

I'll listen, okay?

I promise. Just open the damn door.

-Bitch! -[beeping continues]

Okay, okay.

I got an idea.

Take off your mask. I'll give you mine.

Okay.

Ah. Your daughter told us everything.

Please, sit.

It's okay.

You're safe.

Zora was able to repair our oxygen generator

by adapting your husband's design.

And she was hoping she could get your input

on some new horticulture techniques

we've been developing.

[Zora] I'm 16 and my life just changed for the second time.

My parents and I thought we were the only ones out there.

Luckily, we were wrong.

If anyone out there is listening,

we can offer what we know.

With my mom's expertise and our new friends here,

we think we can turn things around.

Malcolm X said, "Education is the passport to the future,

for tomorrow belongs to those who plan for it today."

Tomorrow belongs to us.
