NARRATOR:
Previously onNow Apocalypse:

She's doing top-secret
government work and shit.

From the moment me and Gabriel
met there was this supernatural

connection between us,
and then he disappears.

My ex Mustafa is in town.

SEVERINE: I'm so relieved
we are no longer

-burdened with fear
and possessiveness.
-[ sobbing ]

It's just like we're
teetering on the brink
of total annihilation.

I'm been camming
online for money.

-Ahh!-Oh, fuck!

I'm going to be
reading with you,

so do you have any questions
before we get started?

Nope, I uh,
I don't think so.

Great.

Cassie, if you don't watch
out, you're gonna get hurt.

Bad, bad, real bad.

Look, I don't care.

I don't care what happens to me.

Okay, I'm gonna stop
you right there, okay?

Oh, uh, I'm sorry,
did I do something?

No, actually you
didn't do anything.

It was just so "natural" that
it was putting me to sleep.

Okay, so let's try it again
and actually try acting.

-Okay.-And from the top, okay.

Cassie, if you don't watch out,
you're gonna get hurt,
bad, bad, real bad.

Look, I don't care!

Okay, I don't care
what happens to me!

I'm sorry, are you
joking right now?

That was insane,
way too much.

-Way too big, okay,
let's do it again.-Oh, sorry, yeah.

-No, no, don't be sorry.-[ chuckles nervously ]

-Maybe split the difference. -Split the difference.

Find humanity
somewhere in between.

-Yeah, okay.-Between like nothing
and clown.

-Yes.
-Okay, great.
[ clears throat ]

Cassie, if you don't watch out,
you're gonna get hurt,
bad, bad, real bad.

Look, I don't care.
All right, I don't care
what happens to me.

I don't really care what
happens to you either.

Cassie, if you don't watch out,
you're gonna get hurt,
bad, bad, real bad.

I don't care.
[ voice trembles ]

I don't care what happens
to me, I jus--

Look, you only go around
once in life and--

How about this? Stand up.

Stand up, can you do that?

I don't care.

Look, I don't care
what happens to me!

Cassie, if you don't watch out,
you're gonna get hurt,
bad, bad, bad, real bad.

I don't care what
happens to me.

Look, I just... fuck,
what are my lines?

-You only go around
once in life,[ mouthing quietly ]

And my motto is-

and my motto is that you
just gotta go for it.

That was great,
thank you so much.

We'll call you.

CARLY: Dude, I'm fucking
quitting acting.

What are you talking about?

That guy just sounds
like an asshole
on his man period.

And I'm sick of being at
the mercy of assholes.

It's like I'm the
dom, not the sub.

This whole masochism shit
is not on brand for me.

Sorry.

What ever happened
to that web series

that you were writing?

It's almost done,
but so what?

Finish it, and I'll
help you film it.

I took a production
class in college.

I got a C, but...

So what, you're gonna
shoot it on your iPhone
or something?

Yeah. Come on, come on,
it'll be fun.

Mmm, famous last words.

I don't know, I mean
it would give me

something to focus on besides
my non-existent career.

And trolling Craigslist
for a new roommate.

How's that going by the way?

It is like extras casting
for a David Lynch movie.

[ chuckles ]

[ panting and gasping ]

CARLY:
Dude, that is so beyond
the valley of fucked up.

I know, and I'm pathetic
enough to text back

at 3 am saying yes,
I'll fucking meet you

in the middle of
the fucking night.

And so I'm sitting
there, like a dotard,

waiting for him to
message me where to go,

and the maniac never
texts back.

So then what?

I fucking fell asleep.

And then when I woke
up in the morning,

the entire message
chain was gone.

Like it never happened, like
I dreamt the whole thing.

Did you?

Did I what?

Dream the whole thing?

No. I don't think so.

Whatever, the, the take
away from all of this,

is that Gabriel's hotness
does not outweigh his

pathological flakiness. Right?

Hmm? Yeah, yeah, of course.

Hello Lars, I'm
running a little late.

Follow protocol
and don't take any

bio-genetic samples
until I arrive on site.

See you soon.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Hello?

[ knocking ]

[ knocking repeats ]

[ mouthing ]
Who are you?

Oh, hi.

Sorry, the uh, the doorbell.

Yeah, the-the
that doesn't work.

Oh, this must be
for my roommate.

All right.

Thanks, Tl-at-uh-lah-ti.

It's Tlayolotl.

Mexican indigenous name.

Friends just call me T.

[ moaning and gasping ]

[ sexy music ]

So, I'm actually looking
to fill the room, ASAP,

so it would be
great if you could

tell me a little about yourself.

I'm Niall,
I'm from Vancouver.

I don't have a
job at the moment.

But I have over thirty-two
thousand Instagram followers.

So I'm really focusing on trying
to monetize that right now.

I spend most of my days
lamenting Western imperialism.

My interests include labor
strikes, premium grade matcha,

and the downfall of
society as we know it.

Well, technically I'm pangender,

which means I'm a member
of a vast and diverse

multiplicity of genders that
expands infinitely over time.

WOMAN: It's sort of
a mix between performance art

and social activism.

I, like, build a red
tent and film myself

bleeding in it for a week.

I view my period cramps
as a vehicle for purging

collective global
and inherited pain.

ULYSSES:
So, is this like your thing?

You're like the hot delivery guy

whose life is
basically one long,

never-ending porno?

No, no I'm married actually.

Wait, what?

Yeah, and straight.

Well, yeah, mostly.

Okay, uh,
you don't wear a ring.

Well, you know, I lost
so many of them at work,

I just stopped wearing them.

My wife's cool with it.

Wait, what?

Oh no, I meant about
me not wearing a ring.

Oh no, if she found out
about... oh, she'd flip.

She's, uh, pretty religious.

Um, are you?

No, not so much.

I mean I was,
my dad's a preacher.

-Whoa, shit.-Yeah.

-Really?-Yeah, he would not be pleased.

[ chuckles ] He's one of
these people that thinks

that gay sex
causes hurricanes.

-Wow, that must suck.-Yeah.

You know, it's all right.
I mean, it's not like
I do this very often.

It's just sometimes,
I meet someone like you,

and uh, you know,
shit happens.

Ah, fuck, you are so
hot that it's painful.

[ laughs ]

CARLY:
Where is your dick, dude?

Like, literally, it's
so small

I can't even
fucking see it.

[ gasps ]

Like, I could fit ten
of your dicks in my ass

and not even feel it.

What do you do to jerk-off,
do you use your pinkie?

Like this? [ laughs ]

Let me see you jerk
that tiny little nub,

I wanna see if
it's even possible.

Oh shit, is that
a dick or is that

just an awkwardly large clit?

I mean how many testosterone
shots did you have to get

to engorge your clit that much?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm too small for you.

Your dick looks like
a dot that I saw

under a microscope in my
high school biology class.

Like what is that, a
molecule of like fucking algae?

-[ moans ]
-Or what?

-Is this right? - Don't talk.

MAN: Just lie there.

I said no blinking!

If you can't keep
yourself from blinking,

just shut your eyes.

Sorry.

MAN: Thank you all for
joining us tonight.

I have been leading
this circle jerk

for two years now
and I deeply believe

that being able
to talk about sex

in the company of
other men can be

a very powerful
healing experience.

First off, please
introduce yourself

and share a few words about what
you're feeling at this moment.

I'll go first. I'm Neil, and I'm
feeling pumped up about tonight.

I'm Tony, I'm kind of nervous,

but I'm really honored
to be a part of this.

Yo, I'm George, I feel
a little uncomfortable.

Think I maybe got a
sunburn earlier. [ chuckles ]

Other than that though,
I'm totally stoked to be here

and I'm really
hoping to connect.

So is this anyone's first
time to circle jerk?

Oh ho, virgins!
Just joking, guys.

Welcome.

EVERYONE: Welcome.

Stop it.

I'm uh, I'm uh Ulysses,

EVERYONE: Hi, Ulysses.

Um, this is my first time
doing something like this.

Yeah no, that's it.
Yeah, that's it.

Well, we're thrilled to
have you here, Ulysses.

Both of you.

And just so you know, we're
very open-minded here.

Aren't we Tony?

Wide open.

Yeah, so uh, I'm
Ford and I'm like

super-excited to be here
for a while now

I've been just feeling
um just totally bummed

and really confused because...
[ sighs ]

I really love my girlfriend.

It's all right, Ford.
This is a safe space.

Go on, just let it all out.

So I know it's old school,
but I feel like Severine--

that's my girlfriend,
and as I honestly, I feel like

she could be my soulmate.

Don't you think so?

Yeah, yup.

Anyway, it's like our bodies,
they just fit together,
you know?

But it-it's... God, it's so
hard for me to even say it.

It's okay, man.

Yeah, Ford, we're here for
you and we all support you.

Oh yes, we think it's amazingly
brave of you to come out

and express your feelings
with such honesty.

Thanks, guys that...

It really means a lot.

Well, speaking your truth,
Ford, is not easy.

But you should never be
ashamed of who you are

or what you desire.

I know, right?

Maybe I'm old-fashioned.

You know, maybe I, I just want
things to go back

to how they were in
the good old days,

like maybe I just want to sleep

with one woman at a time!

MAN: What?
Did he just say?..

Yeah, maybe I can clarify
what's happened here.

Um, we're not.

I mean, I am, but, but, but,
Ford is not.

Oh? Oh!

MEN: Oh!

[ whispers ]
What is he talking about?

I'll tell you in the car.

[ door shuts ]

[ alarm beeps ]

[ keys clink ]

[ sighs ]

FORD:
At first, non-monogamy
seemed fun.

Like we had a cool threesome
with this terrorist lady,

and afterward my girlfriend
and I felt so connected.

But then, right after
that she told me

she slept with her ex.

[ all gasp ]

And I thought,
I can't be mad, right?

I signed up for this.

But I do feel mad.

Is my brain wrong
for feeling this way?

No, Ford, your
brain's not wrong.

That's fucked up, yo.

You gotta talk that shit out.

I'm not saying put
that bitch on a leash,

but at least install some
invisible fencing, you know?

We refrain from using derogatory
words like bitch here.

But I have to
agree with George.

This is a situation
where it's important

to have an open conversation
with your partner.

Can you say to her, "When
you slept with your ex
it hurt me?"

Yeah, Ford, men
have feelings too.

EVERYONE:
Men have feelings too.

Men have feelings too.

Men have feelings too.

Men having feelings too.

Men have feelings too!

ALL TOGETHER:
Men have feelings too!

[ upbeat music ]

ALL TOGETHER:
Men have feelings too!

Can you angle me
down a little bit?

Uh, yeah, sure, okay.

Okay.

Wow. Perfect.

You look so hot.

Oh, thank you, um,
by the way I uh,

I've never done
this before, I mean,

like for an audience,
obviously, so...

I feel so honored.

All right, Worm, you ready?

WORM: Very.

Okay, here goes.

[ sighing ]

Hold on, it's almost there.

C'mon baby, show me
that wet pink flower.

Okay, shh, I'm trying
to focus, hold on.

Sorry.

Fuck, you're making me pee shy.

Sorry, is there anything
I can do to help?

Yeah, can you just
like uh, I don't know,

like look away for a second?

Uh, where am I supposed to look?

Lo-look anywhere
else, Worm, just...

I don't know, close
your eyes for a minute.

Okay.

Okay, okay, it's
coming, open your eyes.

Open your eyes.

-Ooh, yeah...-[ urinating ]

-you like that?
-Oh yeah.

It's getting everywhere.

Oh, wow,
such a powerful stream.

Yeah, you like that
you little pee-slut?

Oh, yeah, I love it,
I love it, oh fuck.

Do you know how much
I want to taste your

-hot, sweet, golden nectar?
-[ moaning ]

Oh, baby, I want to
drink your warm cocktail.

If I was lucky enough
to be lie beneath you,

I wouldn't waste a drop.

Yeah, that is some
precious urine right there.

So, I like, I went to
this meeting tonight.

It was like a bunch
of guys hanging out,

shooting the shit, yeah
sort of like a locker room,

except less moldy smelling
and nobody gets naked.

But in a way, you do.

-You mean a support group?-Yeah, I guess?

Ah, this guy George describes
it as a male coven,

which I guess is
a type of stove.

But, it was really cool

because I basically
learned that feelings

aren't just a girl thing.

Anyway, I have something
I need to tell you.

Just wait, I need to get
my sponsor on the phone.

Yo, I'm just available
for support, if needed.

Uh, what is this?

That's George.

Okay, Ford, go ahead,
I got you, dawg.

Sev, when you slept
with your ex-boyfriend

Mustafa, it made
me feel really bad...

and really sad.

I don't want to control
you, because I know
you totally hate that,

but I also don't want
to be in a relationship

that makes me feel like I
constantly have side cramps.

Ford, you know I
believe that monogamy is

an arbitrary cage forced
upon us by the miserable
capitalist patriarchy.

However, I do care
for you very much,

so I'm sorry if my actions
have inspired any negative
feelings on your part.

You are? Really?

Yes.

Oh God, that's so beautiful.

How about this?

If we want to be
with another person,

we can do it together.

Wow, y-you'd be
okay with that?

For now, yes.

We can think of this as
an incubation period.

That sounds awesome.

Uh, right George?

Hell yeah, fantastic
progress guys! [ laughs ]

Oh and I just want to
say, if you're looking for

a volunteer to help you,
you know, explore...

If the earth was
ravaged by a nuclear war

and you were the last
man alive, I still
wouldn't fuck you.

[ phone beeps ]

I still have some
work I need to finish.

Okay, all right.

I'll join you in the
bedroom in a bit.

Mm, okay, yeah, I'll uh, keep
your side of the bed warm.

That's not really necessary,
but thank you.

CARLY:
That's fucking Crayola.

The guy literally
came like eight times,

it was unreal, and needless
to say, odd as fuck.

No, it's biologically
impossible.

I was there, I counted.

So what, the dude
just like waltzes in,

nuts eight times and
then hops back in his

little delivery truck
and finishes his route?

Pretty much.

I know this sounds
super un-PC but there's

something so hot
about guys on the DL.

It's like, they're so
repressed and then when

they finally get some it's
like this great deluge.

Of cum, apparently.

[ laughs ] Yeah.

Oh my God, dude, are you
fucking stoned right now?

Maybe I smoked a little
bit before my shift, yeah.

Do they not drug test you?

Only when I applied,
and I had Ford
pee in a cup for me.

Speaking of pee...

Oh my God, what?

I'm sorry, Ford,
but I'm quite tired.

Oh, okay.

[ bed squeaks ]

I really appreciate you
sharing your feelings

so honestly and openly.

Let's just cuddle instead.

[ sighs ]

Do you know what?
L-let's just have sex.

But I thought you
weren't in the mood?

Of the options presented,
it's the most agreeable.

Cool.

[ Severine grunts ]

Actually, why don't you
just lie back and relax?

Oh, all right.

Ooh, fuck...

[ gasps ]
Oh my God, it feels--
so good.

Oh, oh, Sev, oh,
I love you.

Oh, I love you!

Oh, I love you so much.

Oh, oh I love you!

Oh, I love you.

Oh I love you, I love you,
I love you, ahhh!

[ grunts, moans ]

Oh, oh, oh my God,
that felt amazing.

Do you want to come too?

No thank you.

[ Ford sighs ]

Goodnight.

Uh, well...

thanks.

Holy mother.

Babe, babe, babe, babe,
wake up, wake up.

Oh my God, Sev I- you're
not gonna believe this.

What? What is it?

Barnabus just invited
us to this huge,

kick-ass party this weekend.
In Palm Springs.

What are you talking about?

One of his buddies,
this dude Thor Goswell,

who's like this
hot shit CAA agent,

has a giant mansion out
there and it's his birthday,

and everybody who is
anybody is gonna be there.

-That sounds---Off the fricking hook.

Oh shit, what are you
doing this weekend?

Masturbating, why?

Feel like going to Palm Springs?

What?

Ford just texted and
asked if we want to

go to Palm Springs for
the weekend with him

and Severine and stay
at the Jacobs, for free,

courtesy of that creepy
benefactor dude of his.

-Fuck you.-Serious.

Fuck you.

Is that a fuck you yes
or like a fuck you,

I hate Palm Springs?

Fuck you!

[ screams ]

Dude, what was that?

Hello?

Hey, um...

I don't know.

[ louder screams ]
Oh God! Oh God!

Yeah, um...

I'm gonna have to...
call you back.

Okay, just be careful.

I gotta-- I--
I'm gonna call you back.

[ tablet beeps ]

[ chair creaks ]

Hello?

[ ominous music ]

[ thudding ]

You can't be here.

You...

you have to go.

Please?
