[woman] Fears of another wave intensify as the worldwide death toll rises.

[man] As Los Angeles enters its 213th week of lockdown, the Health Department...

[male reporter
speaking Spanish]

[female reporter 1]
...the Health Department
has raised...

[male reporter 2]
Experts are reporting
COVID-23 has mutated.

[male reporter 3
speaking foreign language]

[female reporter 2] Today, Los Angeles opened its first quarantine zone.

The Q-zone was created
to house the sick
and the dying...

[male reporter 4
speaking foreign language]

[female reporter 1] Anyone with a fever will be taken to the Q...

[reporters speaking
foreign languages]

[woman] The mortality rate has risen to 56%.

[man] Only the few people immune to the virus are able to leave their homes.

[overlapping newscasts
in foreign languages continue]

[female reporter 2]
Today, the CDC

unveiled designs for America's new immunity passes.

These passes come in the form of canary yellow--

[birds twittering]

[dog barking,
howling in distance]

[panting]

[helicopter whirring]

-[beeps]
-[line ringing]

[male voice] What?

Yeah, I got a delivery here.

You're late, asshole.

Just put it in the box.

[automated female voice]
UV sanitation activated.

[machine chimes]

UV sanitation complete.

[machine beeps]

-All good?
-[male voice] No tip.

And tell Lester I want
a new delivery guy next time.

You just hate me 'cause
I'm immune and you're not.

What did you say?

I said, "Don't forget
to toast the apocalypse."

[helicopter whirring]

[female voice]
Curfew is now in effect.

All unauthorized citizens
must stay indoors.

Remember the good old days of fake news? Real news is worse.

Because any day, the antibody test is coming.

Antibody test? I signed up for that #### shit three years ago.

In a Burger King
drive-through.

Guess what?
Burger King's gone.

What'd they tell us for the last three #### years?

Stay home and wash your hands.

[male reporter 5] New data confirms the virus attacks the brain tissue.

I've been hearing
a lot of weird rumors

about the institutional corruption at the Department of Sanitation.

[female voice] ...will be arriving in four to six hours.

You must not attempt
to leave your home.

Check out the new
immunity bracelet.

Literally, can't leave
the house without this.

I wonder if that's how dinosaurs went. Just like...

[female reporter 3]
The global death count

is now over 110 million.

It's the end
of the world, bro.

-[man] As Los Angeles enters its 213th... -It feels like the apocalypse.

So, we just got to sit home,

like gerbils, in our little bullshit cages.

[man on PA] Noncompliance will be met with severe penalty.

-Guess what.
-[man on PA] Lockdown
is in full effect.

There ain't
no good news coming.

[woman on PA] ...or you
will be shot on sight.

[male courier] Hey, Lester. I'm held up, man.

They're checking bags,
they're checking tags.

Sanitation is on one today.

[Lester]
Stop messing around, guys.
Rich people need their shit!

[male courier 2] Lester, nobody's here for the pick-up.

I've been waiting
about 15 minutes.

Okay, turn that around
as soon as you can.

Jonie, you're ten minutes late
getting to me. Come here.

Hey, man, don't get bitchy with me.

Anthony,
it's a left on Fountain. Left!

[Anthony]
Man, I'm turning left.

Put your left hand out,
check mark with the right.

-Jeez, I gotta teach you
your ABC's too?
-I'm going right. Sorry.

[man on radio] We're having a little delay.

We're seeing a new checkpoint right there on Hollywood and Highland.

Kyle Kuzma, he advances.
He gets it to LeBron.

Lebron dunks for the win!
Yes, the crowd goes wild!

[imitates crowd cheering]

[phone ringing]

You made
that priority drop yet?

It's next on my list.

Priority means
it's first on your list.

Lester,
it's all the way across town.

Hold up.

Are you at the court?

Uh... No.

I have GPS.

Then maybe.

Make a three for Kobe
and get going.

Hi, guys. What's up?
This is Larray.

My best friend didn't pass his thermal scan

and the Department
of Sanitation took him
to the Q-zone.

So, I'm worried, 'cause once you go to the Q-zone, you don't ever leave.

Good morning, Marie.

Good morning, señora.

I cut some fruit for you
in the kitchen.

Thank you.

Good morning.

God, kid.

-I have a question for you.
-Yes?

So, I was wondering
about the whole Ellie thing.

Yeah, what about it?

So, her mom says
that it's fine

if she comes and hangs out
for a little while.

I'm sorry. You know
we can't have people over.

-All we're--
-Not to mention,
it is illegal.

What are you gonna do?

Call Sanitation
on two 12-year-olds?
Have them take us to the zone?

You keep pushing it,
and you might just find out.

Did you take your vitamins?

-Yes, Mom.
-Do you have your inhaler?

-Uh-huh.
-Okay, you're up.

[automated female voice]
Virus check in progress.

Three, two, one.

No virus detected.

-Straight A's.
-Have a great day.

So please go tell your dad
it's time to take
the temp test.

Dad! Mom said
it's time for your temp test!

I could have done that.

[female reporter 4] ...by order of the mayor, who stated martial law

shall remain in place for the foreseeable future.

Today, the Department of Sanitation announced the opening

of a new Q-zone
in Boyle Heights.

The facility would be
the fifth of its kind
established in the city

despite recent controversy over a leaked report

describing conditions in these zones as barbaric.

[automated female voice] Virus check must be completed.

You have five minutes to--

Virus check in progress.

Three, two, one.

No virus detected.
Have a great day.

It's Nico, from Lester's Gets.

Missus,
the delivery boy is here.

Great, these are ready to go.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

[automated female voice]
UV sanitation activated.

[Nico] Ready?

[Emma chuckles]
Do you think we're just
fish in a bowl to him?

[chuckles]

[machine beeps]

[automated female voice]
UV sanitation activated.

UV sanitation complete.

Okay.

Thank you.

Really, thank you.

[both laugh]

Go this way.

Yo, yo, yo!
Checking in per usual.

New strain, new year.
Isn't that great?

Looks like this one'll
kill you quick.

They're saying people who are catching this are dropping dead within 48 hours.

Yesterday I saw
a 10-year-old girl

getting dragged from her house and taken to the Q-zone.

Well, we know what
the "Q" stands for.

"Quick death."

All I'm saying is,
if you see those guys

in those big-ass yellow suits coming up your block,

you better hide
your little sister.

[phone chimes]

[chuckles]

Good evening, Miss Garcia.

Still on for date night?

Oh, every night.
You can't get rid of me.

You're such a stalker.

Yeah, well,
it's easy when my victim
can't leave her home.

You're not missing much
out here.

Yeah, except for that view.

Oh, you like that?

This is my view, though.
I think mine's better.
Say hi, Lita.

Hola, Nico. ¿Cómo estás?

Hey, Lita. How are you?

Muy bien, Lita, ¿y tú?

-Estoy bien, ¿y tú?
-[young woman laughs]

-Nico, please don't fall.
-I'm not gonna fall.

If I did, I wonder how long it would take someone to find me out here.

Are you kidding?

Lester would have
a cleanup crew there in, like,
ten minutes, tops.

[in deep voice]
Because a dead courier
is bad for business.

I sounded just like him,
didn't I?

I'll see you later, stupid.
I miss you.

Give me an hour.

I got one more drop-off I'm late for.

I'm not going anywhere.

[phone chimes]

[phone rings]

[Lester] Dozer, I need eyes on one of my couriers.

High and tight.
High and tight.

[beeping]

Hello.

Yeah, Piper, it's Steve, Gwen's husband.

You did that save the rhino thing for us a few years back.

Oh, yeah.
That was a great party.
What can I do for you?

We, um...

We wanna take a trip beyond the city limits.

Heard you might have the hookup.

Something to help us get past the checkpoints.

Party will cost you 300 grand.

Done.

Okay, great.
Well, we'll be in touch.

[pings, buzzes]

[sizzling]

[female newscaster] Three apartment buildings in Van Nuys

were condemned today

after a number of residents failed their daily virus check.

A spokesperson
from the Department
of Sanitation

issued a response
to the outbreak

warning that the department was currently completely overwhelmed by the caseload

and reminding citizens
that COVID is airborne.

No one should leave their home for any reason.

[man on radio, indistinct]

[male courier 3] ...closed down in Echo Park.

[Dozer] I have eyes on the target.

Repeat, I have eyes on the target.

What?

[chuckles]

[helicopter whirring
overhead]

[indistinct radio chatter]

-Stop! Show us your hands.
-Hey, whoa, whoa! I'm immune!

Get on the ground! Now!

I'm immune!

[checkpoint guard]
He's got a bracelet.

Guy's immune.
Have him walk on.

Wow. You gotta be kidding me.

You guys really need to work
on your people skills.

-No loitering.
-I'm sorry.
Am I holding up the line?

Keep it moving,
you munie scum.

Yeah, keep your mask on.

Don't take that mask off.

[over earphones]
It's your boy Adam W.

Hey, check it out. So today, I want to shout out all of our immune workers.

You mythical creatures,
you legends.

So, these munies live alone. Total isolation.

Talk about social distancing.

And the whole time
they're out there,

they're getting coated
in COVID.

It's in their hair,
their clothes.

And as one guy put it to me, that shit sticks.

They can't go near friends or family, 'cause they might get them sick.

Remember that the next time your pining for one of those yellow bracelets.

Good as new.

[engine starts, revs]

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Thank you, Mrs. Griffin.

[Nico] Spoke to my buddy
in Big Sur again.

He says they haven't had
a case in six months.

[young woman] If only we could get out of the city.

[Nico] I'm still putting feelers out to get black-market passes.

No hits yet,
but once we have those,

I quarantine for three weeks and then we're gone.

[young woman]
Hey, at least you got
your ride back.

[Nico] More deliveries a day means more money to save.

Who would have thought
Lester's Gets is actually good
at getting things?

The man doesn't disappoint.

Tomorrow, Nico and Cielito
will ride again.

I still can't believe
you named that
sick-ass bike Cielito.

I know, it's great, right?

No.

There she is.

[young woman] Your one true love.[chuckles]

[Nico] Here, check this out.

Hey, your garden's not dead.

Give it time.

God, I swear all I do is love and nurture these things and all they do is die on me.

We should take 'em with us
when we leave.

Lita has green fingers.

We're getting Lita
her own place, by the way.

-Are we?
-Yeah.

I figure we have a lot
of lost time to make up for,

and we're not gonna want
a chaperone, are we?

I'm telling her you said that.

-Do not tell her I said that.-I am.

You know I'm terrified of her.

That's why I'm telling her.

[sirens wailing in distance]

[bell dings]

Bingo.

Hey, guys. It's me, May. This is May Sings the Blues.

I'm a struggling singer-songwriter who still remembers the good old days

when we could still listen to music all together.

So, you can make any requests

and you can hit like if you like what you hear

and maybe even subscribe.

So, what's next?

Let's lighten the mood
a little bit.

[May chuckles]
Vanilla Ice? No, that's
the wrong stream, buddy.

MD0239 says, "I remember
you played a great cover
of 'American Pie' once.

Your songs got me
through some rough days
when I was in the military."

Well, MD...

this one is for you

[both scatting]

-[both laughing]
-[Lita] Ooh, ooh!

[both speaking Spanish]

-You still got it.
I see you.
-[kettle whistling]

[in Spanish]

[intercom buzzes]

Got a special delivery
for Miss Garcia.

[phone chimes]

Hey, stranger.

[automated female voice]
UV sanitation complete.

-Oh.
-Package is
successfully prepped.

[chuckles]

"Roses are red,
violets are blue...

but I can't get those
in this screwed-up world,

so here's
some pencils for you."

You stole them,
Nicholas James.

How did I steal 'em?
There's nobody around.

They're just sitting there, but if you don't want 'em...

No, no.
Give me, give me, please.

All right, I'm putting 'em in.

[automated female voice]
UV sanitation complete.

Oh, my God.

I could kiss you right now.

Yeah, well, someday.

The way I figure, by the time I'm 87 and you're, what is it, 84,

we should have enough
put away...

-Shut up.
-...to buy passes
and get out of the city.

I'm serious.

It's a dream.

-[phone chimes]
-Oh, shit,
Lester's calling me.

I'm gonna add him in.

[R&B playing on stereo]

[Nico] What's up, boss?

What the hell are you doing?
Don't you have
somewhere to be?

Like a high-priority drop
on the west side?

I'm on it. Say hi to Sara.

Hey, Lester.

Stop distracting
my best courier.

Whoa, wait. Did you just say, "best courier"?

Slip of the tongue.
Now get going.

Well, you heard the man.

-I gotta get going.
-Yep.

I'll call you tonight?

I don't know.
I think I have to check
my busy schedule,

but I think
I can make it work.

[automated female voice]
User MD donated $100.

[chuckles]

Well, buckle up.

Yeah, I'm gonna call you.

[video call dialing]

[ringing]

Hey, MD?

Uh, D-Dozer.

Like a bulldozer?

Uh, like Michael Dozer.

Hey, Michael.

I'm May.
It's nice to meet you.

No, I know you're May.

You miss it, Dozer,
the way things were?

I was on lockdown
long before
it was fashionable.

How come?

When I got back from the war, people didn't want to talk about it.

You're a vet in a wheelchair, people are--

They see you, they put
their face in their phones.

They don't want
to have to face that.

Somewhere down the line,
I just...

stopped going out.

For how long?

It's, uh...

It's coming up on six years.

[May] Wow. You're a pro at lockdowns.

This must be a cakewalk
for you.

I don't know about a cakewalk, for anybody, but...

having Max-- I mean, Max here is my eyes and ears.

[May] Hey, Max.

Is it as bad as it seems out there?

It's worse. It's way worse.

But it pays the bills.

[man in film] Three thousand dollars. It might as well have been three million.

[woman] What's the matter with you tonight?

You look like you lost your last friend.

How'd you like to go to...

I feel like
I'm at the theater.

Yeah, you kinda
have to squint a little,

but, I mean, it's basically
like Mann's Chinese out here.

Mmm. That was my favorite one.

You know I used to
go there every Friday
for matinees, right?

Do you think that
maybe we were there
for the same showings?

I did remember seeing
this really hot girl that
I was too scared to talk to.

You're full of shit.

Where did you get
the projector?

Another score
from the old office.

You really emptied
that place out, huh?

Oh, there's nothing left.
Everything's here.

I could make a law firm
out of my house right now.

I have paper,
paper clips, binders,
highlighters, a hole punch.

-I have a fax machine.
-A fax machine?

Yeah, my mom would be proud.

She always said I'd end up running the joint.

Can you see that?

[woman in film]
There'll be thousands
of dollars there.

Actually,
now that you mention it,

would you mind telling
the guy in front if he could
please remove his hat?

This guy right here?

Is that better?

Hey, Lita,
you wanna watch with us?

[in Spanish]

[coughing]

Go back to your room and
I'll bring you medicine, okay?

[coughing]

Is she sick?

[sirens wailing]

[automated female voice]
Stay in your homes.
We are here to help.

-[indistinct radio chatter] -Please remain in your homes.

Your safety is our priority.

If you attempt to leave your home, you will be shot on sight.

Please remain in your homes.

-What are you doing here?
-Who's asking?

[automated female voice] Lockdown is still in effect.

I am Emmett D. Harland,
Department of Sanitation.

[intercom buzzes]

[buzzing continues]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Sara, what's going on?

I got out of Q-zone today.
I'm clean.

What are you doing?

Just bring it in.

Get away from me! [grunts]

DOS is on-site. Standing down.
Heading to next callout. Over.

[sighs, chuckles]

[loud knocking]

[sanitation man]
Department of Sanitation,
open up!

Shh.

Eh, break it in, guys.

[Harland]
Hey, guys, guys, guys!

It's the wrong apartment.

I said 3-2, 32. Can you read?

Department of Sanitation.

They're coming for Alice.

Just break it down.

-[loud bang]
-Mrs. Grant.

Alice and William Grant?
This is the Department
of Sanitation.

By the power granted to me by the City of Los Angeles,

I hereby detain you
under the ordinance 312

for immediate transport
to the Q-zone.

[loud bang]

-[pounding]
-Sara, it's me! [whimpers]

Sara, do not open that door.

[pounding continues]

Do not open that door.

I'm coming over right now.

Please! Please help me!

Nico, please hurry.

[Alice] Stop! No! Please!

Somebody help me, please!
Somebody help me!

Get off me!

[Alice's whimpering fades]

[intercom buzzing]

I know you're in there.

Hello.

Are you Ms. Garcia?

I'm terribly sorry
to inform you

that there's been an outbreak of cases in this building,

including your poor neighbor.

Have you ever left
your apartment?

Maybe a glass of wine
with Mrs. Grant?

Like, a little gossip?
A little talk?

Breaking the lockdown?

No, we follow the rules here.

You wouldn't believe
how many times
I've gotten that answer.

And before you know it, I'm back at the same address.

That's...[laughs]

Yeah, you know, it's--

Disobedience is, like,
spreading like a tornado.

Well, don't forget your
TempCheck in the morning.

And remember, stay safe, sane and sanitized.

[clicks tongue]

[breathing heavily]

[Sara's grandmother coughing]

No! No, you have to
stay away from me.

[in Spanish]

Please,
just let me help you, okay?

For all we know,
it's just a cold, Lita.

[in Spanish]

[coughing] No, Sara,
stay away from me.

[coughing]

[phone rings]

Hey, I just got here.
How is she?

She's not good.

She has a fever.

Oh, shit.

Temp test
is at 9:00 a.m., Nico.

Okay.

They'll take us both.
You know that, right?

They'll take both her and me.

Sara...

Hey, hey.

No one's taking you from me.

[coughing continues]

She needs me.
You should go, okay?
It's not safe here.

Yeah, right.

I'm not going anywhere.

Thank you.

-[Piper] Breaking curfew?
-Oh, Jesus.

Harland needs to see me.

-Oh, does he?
-[William] Yeah.

Mm.

He has those passes
that we need.

Mm.

So may I leave?

You know, every time
you open that door, you risk
letting in what's out there.

Yeah, I know. I also know
that it is the only way

that we are keeping a roof
over our heads.

Those are your words.
Not mine-- Jesus.

Piper, you think
I want to go out there?

I think you love it.

And just because
you wear that bracelet,
doesn't make it true.

So be a good boy
and burn that sleek
little outfit of yours

before you come back
into the house.

[gas hisses]

[door shuts]

[whispers] Nico?

Nico?

I'm here.

She's sleeping.

She needs to rest.

It's like I can feel you
through this door.

[chuckles]

Hey...

Do you remember
when we first met,

and you were yelling at me
in Spanish?

[chuckles]

I have no recollection
of that.

[Nico] I blame
Lester's handwriting.

It said 31,
but I read it as 37,

and I came pounding on
your door like a jackass.

Do you ever wonder
what would've happened

if you knocked
on some other girl's door?

Well, I knock
on a hundred doors a day.

But I've never met
anyone like you.

I'm really glad
Lester messed up that address.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, hey, Mom.

What are you
still doing awake?

I heard voices. Did Dad leave?

Yeah, he had to go out,
but he'll be back.

He shouldn't do that.
It's not safe.

I know.

But sometimes
we have to do things
we don't want to survive.

Mom...

Do you ever wish
I was different?

What? No, sweetie.

What do you mean?

Ellie said with you
being immune,

there's a 50% chance
I would be.

-[Piper] Oh, honey.
-And I'm not.

Instead, I'm even weaker
than a normal person.

You are not weak.

But if I wasn't like this,
you could go places.

You wouldn't have to
worry about me.

And why would I
wanna go anywhere
if you couldn't be with me?

Listen to me.

You are perfect.

Absolutely perfect.

And I wouldn't change
one thing about you.

And neither would your father.

How was Harland?

Nuts.

-Mm.
-Uh, passes for Steve
and Gwen are ready.

Are you sure
we can trust them?

Everyone in my network
is reliable.

That's not
who I'm worried about.

What's that supposed to mean?

-[knocking]
-A courier is here.

Says he needs to speak
with you, Mr. Griffin.

[William] Courier?

Thank you, Marie.

Yeah, Nico?

Mr. Griffin?

Yeah, what do you want?

I would never
normally do this,
but it's an emergency.

I need two of these. I heard maybe you can help me.

Mr. Griffin?

I don't know
what to tell you, kid.

I-- I can't get those any more
than anybody else can.

Look, Mr. Griffin,
I have 13 grand.

I know that's nowhere near enough, but it's all I--

How does he know about us?

I don't know.

Who've you been
shooting your mouth off to?

I haven't been shooting
my mouth off to anyone.

Why don't you ask
your network,
'cause it's so "reliable"?

-Need I remind you
what happens to us...
-No.

...if people find out
what we're doing?

-We go to jail,
or even worse...
-You do not. I know.

-...we get thrown
into the Q-zone.
-Really?

And then what happens to Emma?

Piper, I told the kid
to go away.

What else
do you want me to do?

I'd like to know
how he knows about us.

Well, why don't you do it?
Why don't you find out?

I'm so sick of cleaning
up your shit.

-Uh, Nico?
-Mrs. Griffin?

I think my husband
is just being extra cautious,

but I think I can help you.

Thank you, Mrs. Griffin.

Hey, listen, um,
who told you about us?

Nobody. Nobody told me.

I had nowhere to go,
so I came here. I figured
you guys had connections.

[Piper] Listen, we don't have
what you're looking for,

but, um,
I know someone who does.

Marie.

Can I give you what I have?
It's not much.

I don't need your money.

[automated female voice]
UV sanitation activated.

Mrs. Griffin, you have no idea how much this means.

Thank you, and you're saving a life.

[sanitation man]
It's not done yet.

[Nico] I have a lead.
I'm on my way there now.
How's Lita?

She's not good.
There's armed guards
outside my door.

[automated female voice]
Do not attempt
to leave your home.

[Nico] I'll call you
when I have the passes.
Just be ready, okay?

Okay.

Sara.

[in Spanish]

[sobbing chuckle]

[Sara in Spanish]

[machinery whirring]

[man singing opera
in distance]

Hello?

Hello?

[man] ♪ Maria♪

♪ Maria♪

[operatic singing continues]

[sighs, laughs]

It's like La Scala in Milan.

You see, in this country,

most people think
that Puccini is a mushroom.

You want a smoke?

No, I don't smoke.

Do you know
what I love about smoking?

It's nice to know
there's something out there
that still can kill you.

[chuckles]

Now, a little bird
came flying,
landed on my shoulder,

whispered in my ear
that you need two passes.

Yeah.

Follow me.

Don't worry,
I'm a regular guy like you
just trying to make a living.

You're a munie, right?

So I assume these passes,
they're not for you?

No, my girl's grandma
got sick.

Let's start with the girl.
Age?

Twenty-six.

Her full name and social,
please?

I need a name...

because I have to program
these passes.

You with me?

Sara.

I need her full name.

I get it.
You gotta be cautious
and you gotta be smart,

especially these days,
you know.

I didn't set up this meeting.
You did.

And I'm here
wasting my goddamn time.

If you don't trust me, leave.

No.

I'm good.

You good?

You know, we're kinda lucky
because we're two munies.

I give you my word.

And I would like
to back it up...

the old-fashioned way.

What do you say?

[chuckles] Good.

Feels good, doesn't it?

It's like a childhood memory.

A bite out of
grandma's cookies.

So I need the name
of the girl,

and I need the name
of whoever knows
about this meeting.

Do you understand?

And I can stick as many holes
in you as I like.

-[Harland shouts]
-[Nico grunts]

[Harland] Come on. Just go in!

[panting]

[gunshots ricocheting]

[sanitation man]
Get on the ground!

Come on!

-What's your name, soldier?
-Nico.

-Nico, Boomer.
-Why are you even helping me?

They drag and pull schmucks
like you down here
to their death.

Today, I'm drawing a line
in the sand.

I like you, bro.

One dead body down here
stinks up the whole building.

Once you get that smell
in your nostrils, it lingers.

You can't blow it out.

Tired of it, man. No more.

-[sanitation man] Over here!
-Shit!

What are you doing?

I'm staying.

Head downstairs.
That'll get you back
to the elevators.

Stay safe, pilgrim.
I'm rooting for ya.

Come on!

Oh, jeez.

How hard can it be, guys?

Hey!

[dogs howling]

[ringtone: Lester's voice] Answer the phone. Answer the phone.

Answer the phone.
Answer the phone.

-[beeps]
-Lester's Gets.

-Distribution--
-Cut the crap. Where is he?

Who are we talking about now?

Your courier, Nico.

He showed up here at my house

and he accused me of
selling black-market passes.

[sighs] Well,
he's not working today.

Don't bullshit me, Lester.
I know you sit there

and watch your guys
drive around all day
like rats in a maze.

Just give me his GPS
or I'm gonna take
my business elsewhere.

He-- Looks like
he disabled his GPS.

I'll let you know
if he comes back online.

Yeah, you do that.

So?

He slipped the leash.

What do we pay Harland for?

He better get this contained.

Yeah.

[May] So, it was pre-pandemic, and I met this record exec online,

and he saw
one of my YouTube videos,
and he invited me out here,

and he told me that I was gonna be a big star,

and then all the shit hit,
and I got trapped here.

And the record deal that never existed now was gone.

It was never gonna happen.

He keeps doing
this weird dance with me

like somehow
things are gonna be different,

or somehow things
are gonna be the way
that they were, but the--

You know that nothing is ever gonna be the same.

And I'm lonely, you know?

[exhales]

Well, this is nice
and light conversation.

-You know what I mean?
-[laughs, sniffles]

I don't know why
I'm telling you all this.

What's the matter?

-Are you okay?
What's going on?
-Nothing.

Is it that guy?

The suit
you were telling me about?

You gonna save me, Dozer?

I don't know if you're kidding
or not. Do you need saving?

-'Cause I'll come over there. -No, it's okay.

If you got it, you got it.

No, I'm gonna handle it.

-Are you sure?
-I'm gonna handle it.

-[breathing heavily]
-[line ringing]

Hey.

Hi.

What is it?

She's gone.

Please tell me
you have the passes.

I don't.

I don't have the passes.

It's okay.

Now I know
where I can get some.

But when they come,
you have to hide.

Okay?
You cannot let them find you.

You do whatever you
have to do, but just don't--

I need you
to buy me a little time.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

I love you too.

[automated female voice]
Curfew is now in effect.

Daytime essential workers must now return home.

Curfew is now in effect.
All essential workers
must now return home.

Hey,
I need to see you tonight.

No, we--
We're done, okay?

What, are you playing
hard to get?
You're driving me crazy.

Just-- please just let me
come over.

We don't have to do anything.
I just-- I need to talk.

There's nothing to talk about.

And whatever this
arrangement is, it's over.

May, come on, don't do this.

I have tapes.

I have tapes of you promising
black-market immunity passes.

[William]
You were recording me?

It was just a little
life insurance policy.

You're dumping me
on the phone!

William, leave me alone!

Or it all goes viral.

Okay?

-[call disconnects]
-[sniffles, sighs]

Bitch.

What the hell?

Going out again?

What are you doing?

I know about your girlfriend.

So what?

Oh, no, you think I care
that you're screwing someone?

No, no. This is about Emma,
our daughter.

What chance does she have
if she gets this thing?

I don't know, Piper.
What chance do any of us
have if we get this thing?

I want you out.

Give me the gun.

Piper,
I don't have time for this.

You let her tape you?
You dumb prick.

Give me the gun,
let me clean up my mess.

You want me to clean it up?
Give me the gun.

I want you out.

What are you gonna do?
You gonna shoot me?

Get out!

[softly] Get out.

[door opens, slams]

-[grunts]
-[gate rattles]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

[Piper] This is Piper Griffin.

I believe you know my husband.

I think we might be able
to help one another.

William's on his way
over to you.

I suggest that you
not be there when he arrives.

Thank you.

No.

No, no, Nico!

[ringing]

Hello.

Hi, uh, this is Lester
from Lester's Gets.

We're one big happy family.

Yeah, I know who you are.

It's Piper.
What can I do for you?

Yes, your husband called me
earlier today looking
for one of my couriers.

Yes, have you found him?

Yeah, I think so.

The thing is...

I think he's...

inside your house.

[automated female voice]
Stay in your homes.

Repeat, stay in your homes.

[indistinct radio chatter]

If you attempt to leave your home, you will be shot on sight.

[line ringing]

[phone ringing]

[ringing stops]

[automated female voice]
If you attempt
to leave your home,

you will be met
with lethal force.

Help us to protect you. Please remain in your homes.

I need you to get up
and get in the bathroom.

-What's happening?
-Come on, honey.

Shh...

Put this on.

-What's going on?
-Shh, shh, shh...

[automated female voice]
Do not attempt
to leave your home.

Department of Sanitation!
Open up!

-[door bursts open]
-[Harland]
Now where is that girl?

You think you can hide?
I'll find you.

Bingo! Found Grandma!

Bag and tag the hag!

Hey, where are you?

Where the hell
is that little duckling?

[automated female voice] Stay in your homes. Repeat, stay in your homes.

My kingdom for a beer.

Nothing.

Oh, shi--

Roses are red...

violets are blue...

you think you can hide...

but I'll find you.

[groans]

[heavy, distorted breathing]

[automated female voice] Lockdown is still in effect.

The Department of Sanitation will relocate the infected.

[man] Hey!

Hey, give me a hand with this!

Are you okay, Bobby?

[heavy breathing continues]

Then get her outta here.

[sanitation man on radio] We have one deceased, one in the wind. Over.

[gun cocks]

How dare you
come into my house.

I'm not here to hurt anyone.

You've already
put my daughter's life at risk

just by stepping foot in here.

I came to you for help,
and you tried
to have me killed.

Look,
I just needed information

because I can't allow anyone
to know what we're doing here.

Nobody knows, and no one will.

Mrs. Griffin, I understand
you're just trying
to protect your daughter.

I get that.

Because I'm trying to save
the one person left in my life
that matters to me.

I can't leave here
without that pass.

Please.

Please help me.

[sighs]

Top shelf.

Come on, get it down.

Open it up.

You better not
make me regret this.

[automated female voice]
This building
has been condemned.

The safest place
is your own home.

Department of Sanitation. For containment you can trust.

[man] Stay with the truck.

[Piper]
What's her name?

I assume it's a girl.

Sara Mia Garcia.

Now what?

Now we wait.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[in Spanish]

[automated female voice]
Stay in your homes.
We are here to help.

If you believe your neighbor is defying mandatory lockdown, give us a call.

Do you know
where you're gonna go?

Far away from here.

We're all just trying to
protect the ones we love.

[computer chimes]

Thank you.

Take care.

Oh, shit.

Hey, guys! Hold off!

Stop!

Okay, call them to stop.
Call them to stop!

The girl is in a hazmat suit.

[sanitation man]
Secure all personnel,
girl is in disguise. Over.

Yeah. Yeah.

[line ringing]

Hey, are you sure
it's okay if I come?

No, it's fine.
Of course. Of course.

-I'll see you soon. -Be safe getting over here.

[panting]

[drone engine whirring]

Okay.

[engine cranks]

Oh, shit.

Goddamn it.

Come on. Come on.

[engine cranking]

Get out of the car, May.

You wanna play?

-Please leave me alone!
-What? You wanna play?
Let's play!

Let's play! Get out!

Get out of the car
or I'll kill you.

Did you think
you were just gonna leave me?

I'll drag you out
by your neck.
Get out! Get out!

Get out!

I'll pull you right through!

Get out!

[May screams]

Tango is down.

We're at bingo fuel.

Recalling.

[shouts]

We're going.
We're going home.

[helicopter passing overhead]

[Harland] Nice try.

-Take this off. Get it off.
-[Sara grunting]

Relax, breathe it in.
Breathe it in.

You don't get it, do you?

[laughs]

You're not stupid.

No symptoms...

after being locked up
with your infectious grandma.

You'd be coughing up
your lungs right now,

and that makes you immune.

If that's true,
then let me go.

I'm so sorry.

That's not how it works.

Take her.

Sara!

Sara!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no!

Sara!

[panting]

[Harland hums]

Well, she really captured
your likeness.

Talented girl.

Who are you?

Before this shit started
to hit the fan,

I used to drive garbage trucks
for the Department
of Sanitation.

Then all of a sudden,
my superiors...

they started to die off.

[chuckles]

And then one day,

I was running
the whole damn department.

[laughs] I did it. Four aces.

It's called the Idiot. Look.

Happens once in a lifetime.

Emmett D. Harland,
once a lowly refuse collector,

is now the thin blue line
between death...

[chuckles]
and a miserable existence.

Hey, uh, what about yourself?

What did you do
before the fall?

I was a paralegal.

I was putting myself
through law school.

Oh.

Well, I guess it didn't
work out for everybody.

That's your problem, Nico.

You don't seem
to understand how good...

us munies have it, huh?

Only a handful of us,
like you and me, we're allowed
to roam around as we like.

You want a new car?
Just go to the dealership
and drive it off.

Go into a house
up in the hills
and just take over.

We're untouchable.

You see, munies...

we're not human anymore.

[chuckles] We're gods.

And how do you use
your godly power? Huh?

You run around

and you try to save
some specimen
that is bound to die.

I mean, what's wrong with you?

You could have
the whole fucking world.

Where's Sara?

Oh, Sara? I don't know.

She's halfway
to the Q-zone by now, I guess.

I'm sorry.

You won't be joining her.

-[groans]
-[Nico grunts]

[retches]

It's nice to know there's
something still out there
that can kill you.

[Harland coughs]

[groans]

[recorded ringtone]
Answer the phone.
Answer the phone.

-Answer the--
-Nico?

I got something
I gotta tell you.

Yeah, you told the Griffins
I was at their house.

-Fair to say you owe me one?-I'm sorry, man.

There's a sanitation transport
headed for the Q-zone.
I need to find it.

That ain't gonna be easy.

I have an ID, 0715-GLS.

[Lester] I think I might know someone who can help.

[line rings]

I've already mapped out
every route from
Sara's place to the zone.

We gotta search grid by grid.

Copy that.

[beeping]

Keep heading southeast.
We're not seeing
anything behind you.

H-Hold up! Hold up!

Yup, 0715-GLS.

The truck is headed
south on Western.
I repeat, south on Western.

[Dozer]
We have visual confirmation.
Target is heading...

Heading east on 8th.
We got 'em.

Nico! We found her.

She's headed east on 8th,
just past Western.

They're almost at the zone, so you better book.

[Nico] I copy that.

[Lester] You're not gonna make it, man. Hurry up!

[woman, through PA]
You have arrived
at Q-zone Alpha.

Welcome to Q-zone Alpha.

You must follow
all directions.

All instructions
are mandatory.

Prepare for
immediate processing.

Proceed to holding area
for decontamination.

[man] Let's go.

[Sara grunting]

-[men yelling]
-[Sara] Help me!

[inaudible]

-Just trust me, okay?
-I trust you.

On your knees!
Get on your knees now!

[muffled]
Get on your knees!

[Nico] Don't hurt her.

[muffled shout]

She's immune!

She's immune!
Scan the bracelet!

-[grunts]
-Scan it.

[man] She's got a bracelet!

[scanner beeps]

[policeman] Run the ID.

She's good.

ID checks out. She's good.

-I--
-[Sara] It's okay.

I'm like you.

Lester, it's Nico.

We got her.

We're getting out of here.

[laughs]

[sniffs]

[sighs]

We're going home.

you wouldn't believe it.

I can breathe again.

I wanted to thank you
for helping us get out.

And for helping a kid
who lost everything
find a purpose.

You know, I realize now we weren't just delivering packages.

We were delivering hope.

Harland and Griffin
were reportedly selling
illegal immunity bracelets

to wealthy buyers
on the Westside.

And in a stunning revelation,

Griffin's own wife and a popular online streamer who had evidence of the crimes

worked together to expose the conspiracy.
