Original subtitles

I'm kind of in denial of the whole leaving thing.

- Well, we're gonna be back. - Okay.

Wait! You can't go yet.

We gotta do our secret handshake.

We don't have a secret handshake.

That's how secret it is.

- Bye! - Love you!

Let me stay too. Ish.

Please?

Where am I supposed to go, man?

You'll need this out there.

I love that my favorite place

is your favorite place.

The library is the only place

that I can see how people used to live.

There's always a debt.

There's not always forgiveness.

Who's sick?

Joey.

He has a slight fever.

Just a little bug.

M-mom?

Dad?

- Joey? Joey? - Joey? Joe!

Whatever it is, it is moving fast,

a-and it is infecting

even those who survived the first time.

Heather!

Oh, I knew you'd come back to us.

Where's Raif?

He's gone.

Could you start from the beginning?

I loved him.

From the moment I saw him, at six.

That's where it starts.

He loved you.

Like Dad said, we drove north.

We didn't see another living person.

We found a beautiful beach,

and for a long time, it seemed we'd never leave.

We knew we'd already broken our promise

to return home before it got cold,

but it felt like we both kept making promises

to each other every day.

We also knew we didn't come out into the world

to be just as alone as in San Lupo,

- so we went looking. - Yeah.

Every town along the coast was the same.

Empty.

Unpeopled.

Well, what did you expect?

Every town had something

that had been left behind,

it seemed, for us.

Whaa!

This place is so cool.

I wonder what they made here.

I think it was like a lumber mill.

Echo!

Hey!

Woo!

Oh!

We didn't know what the numbers meant.

- Interesting. - Why?

But we knew the arrows were directions we couldn't ignore.

We saw it painted on rocks and sidewalks.

You're pretty cool.

Hey! I'm driving.

No, you're not.

But no matter where we drove,

the arrows kept pointing us nowhere.

Our search for people had taken us

much further than we'd planned,

so we decided to settle in one spot.

This is so much better than I dreamed it would be.

But we knew this was our last stop

before coming home.

We were planning

on coming home.

Are you hungry?

Raif!

What?

Taxus brevifolia.

One of the few things I learned

in school before Joey did.

Uh, taxes. Uh, sorry, what?

The Pacific yew tree,

one of the most healing trees known to humans.

Mm.

Every part of this magical tree can heal.

From open wounds to nasty coughs.

Oh, really? We should get some

of that for Molly, then.

I'm gonna go see if there's more.

Cut it through here.

- From here? - Yeah.

Raif?

Wait!

Are you okay?

I saw someone.

What? You saw someone?

Somebody's here?

We need to keep an eye out.

We should sleep in shifts tonight.

Food. Now.

Or I will.

Tell us everything.

There's enough food to share!

You don't have to hold him like that. Please.

Share? It's take or die!

No, we were looking for others.

Ah! No!

Others? There are no others.

Stop!

No! Gaah!

Ah!

I didn't want to.

He shouldn't have tried to fight.

Raif?

Let's just get you safe, okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I need you to be okay.

Okay? Just tell me you'll be okay.

I won't be.

I don't know what to do!

Say my name.

Please?

Heather.

Heather.

Heather.

No.

No! Please, stay with me. Please.

Please, stay with me.

Please!

The Jeep broke down.

It took me endless weeks to walk home.

Raif walked back with me.

I swear.

He.

He walked me home.

It's okay. It's okay.

You okay?

Yeah.

Heather bo-beather.

That's right.

Although Dad hasn't called me that in ages.

How come

I never got a nickname?

You have one. "Jo Jo."

Oh. Right.

I forgot.

My brain is kind of fuzzy.

That's okay.

It deserves a break after all these years of hard work.

Dad thinks I'm gonna die.

Don't say that.

He's out getting you medicine right now.

No. I see it in his eyes.

He doesn't look at me the same way.

It's almost like,

like I'm already gone.

He wants you back,

jumping off cliffs and scampering up trees.

That's what his face is saying, "Hurry up. Get well."

"Get well."

That's it.

Keep saying that.

Hey, kiddo. I'm all over this.

Dad, you're back.

Yup, a little shopping spree in the city,

and you're gonna be all good.

It's okay, Jo Jo.

Dad, you're going to scare him.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're scaring me.

I'm giving him my immunity.

I gave Molly everything from the yew tree.

She's making medicine right now.

And what if that doesn't work?

I don't know, but it's too late for immunity.

You know that.

I have to save him.

I have to save all of you.

That's not your job.

Of course it is!

That one's for you, Raif,

and this is for your sister

who's still with me.

Just rest, Evie.

I'm here.

Molly!

- Ish? - Heather said you were trying...

Yes, from a yew tree. I won't know for a day or two.

He doesn't have that time. He's on fire.

Okay.

Molly!

Okay! Okay! Let me think.

He needs an ice bath right now.

Come on.

Sorry to bother. I know Evie's sick too.

Maurine and I have been taking shifts over there.

Joey's fever won't break.

I'm taking the cowboy pool.

- Do you need help carrying it? - No.

So why did you come for me?

Because you're a man of faith,

and I'm not.

I may need to borrow some.

If God exists,

this feels like punishment.

God is not in the pain, he's in the mercy.

Only problem is, Jorge,

there's no mercy to be found.

There you go.

Am I?

Am I flying?

Yeah, Jo Jo.

You're flying.

Do you know why it's working?

It's a strain of the virus

that m... that made us start over all those years ago,

but it's... it's weaker, by its own nature.

So it's given us a chance.

Not everyone.

No. Not everything works for everyone, Heather.

I wish it did.

I just wanted to check on my people.

They're doing really well.

Molly is amazing.

I really thought I'd reached the end.

So did I, in the woods.

You really have to do something about that feeling.

- Surviving. - Yes.

Hey, uh, this may sound crazy,

but do you mind me asking what he looked like?

Desperate.

Hard to see the person underneath all that dirt,

and I don't know.

It was kinda like there was no person left inside of him.

This world can do that.

Only thing I keep seeing

is the gold of his tattoos.

You all right?

Sure. I'll be fine.

Hey, Kori.

You look like you've seen a ghost.

I'm just, uh, still recovering.

Well, rest is your best friend.

- Best friend? - Yeah.

Okay.

- Molly? - Yeah?

Ever have a secret that you knew you couldn't tell?

It's a ridiculous question.

No. No, it's a great question.

I'd say

if the secret

somehow makes the world a better place,

keep it.

Otherwise, shout it from the rooftops.

You're a good doctor, Molly.

Don't tell anyone.

These have been working wonders, Mama.

It's not working here.

Try one more time.

Kori, Evie.

- It's really making... - I'm trying!

Dad?

Hey!

Hey, buddy.

I'm scared.

Ohh, don't be scared.

I'm here.

Your mom is here.

We're always here.

What if I'm not?

Where will I go

if I'm not here?

How will I find you?

Joey, Joey. Joey? Joey.

Oh!

He's gone, Ish.

You need to come to terms with it.

Do you still love me?

It's not enough.

It is!

This is a house of fuckin' lies.

An illusion.

Useless.

I can't do this anymore.

Do what?

Rebuild the contents of this,

this tomb?

It's gone forever!

It was gone

way before Joey.

You wanted him to reignite the old world,

but no one can do that!

We have other living children.

Our friends have children!

So go ahead, burn it down!

How are you, my friend?

What do I do, Jorge?

I'm so sorry he's gone,

but you are still here.

Living has more dying in it than a heart can bear.

It's okay.

I've lost too much,

but you gave me earth, Ish.

A safe place to

plant my feet.

I wonder if it's the same for you.

Em.

It has only and ever, been you.

The scientist in me would have mentioned

the heft of the cirrus clouds.

The barometric pressure

required to move the sun so deftly

through the mist.

But somehow, I knew science didn't have a word for this.

This is awe.

The Earth healed.

I got it so wrong.

The world that I grew up in

is very different than the world you all see today.

There were wars.

Greed.

There would be cities you would visit, and...

and you couldn't even see the stars.

It was gray from chemicals

just flying up into the sky.

Everyone was just out to get theirs.

Does that sound like a world you want to live in?

It's certainly not a world I do.

All this time, I've,

I've been trying to take the lessons from the past

to recreate a world that...

that wasn't much of a world at all.

I like going to sleep,

and looking up, and seeing the stars.

I like seeing the-the green trees,

and-and the farms that we have,

and the food that we have, the abundance,

and if the Earth can abide, so can we!

I'm sorry.

You don't need me as a teacher.

Out there.

That's your greatest teacher.

If we can live in harmony with this Earth

then maybe it will teach us

how to live in harmony with each other.

We have a blank canvas,

and this time, we're not gonna mess it up.

What's a six-letter word for "interrupting"?

Um.

Yeah.

Here's some apples.

- Oh. "Apples." - That works.

Alex, thank you, Chef.

This was one of my dad's old journals

that he never used.

I had to steal it because it's so cool.

Sorry, Dad!

I know Dad doesn't want any more people at San Lupo,

but maybe there are more out there.

We need there to be.

Maybe they can help us hear from Heather and Raif.

We can't just hold out as only us, forever.

I know we weren't made to live alone.

When I get this built,

I hope he's proud of me,

and I hope he lets us try to find the others.

Aw, Joey.

"Proud" doesn't even get halfway there.

I'm not smart enough to know if this is gonna work,

but we gotta try.

This is for all of you who wanted to know

if there were others in the world.

And you're ready to find them, if they're out there?

Unbelievable. I know.

Let's do it, man.

Let's do it.

All right, where do we start?

First things first,

go upstairs and leave me alone.

Gladly!

- What? - I don't know! I don't know.

Who's got a duster?

Isn't it random that

Joey figured out how to build this,

and now we're doing it?

Something tells me

this isn't random at all.

Well, thanks for letting me do this.

Usually, it'd be a Jorge thing.

Yeah, well, Jorge's afraid of heights, so.

Touché.

Plus, uh.

Ezra, I wanted to take a minute alone with you.

I just

didn't understand you at the beginning.

And you hated the merch.

Okay, yes, and don't say "merch."

Uh.

You're not as bad as you used to be.

Neither are you.

Aw, fuck it.

Don't tell anybody that happened.

No worries.

Back to work! Let's go.

Joey really understood this stuff, huh?

Of course.

But it's your hands now.

Your father adores you, Alex.

We all do.

You really think we'll find anyone out there?

I hope so.

I hope so too.

C-Q. C-Q. C-Q.

This is San Lupo. Do you read me?

C-Q. C-Q. C-Q.

This is San Lupo.

Is anyone out there?

C-Q. C-Q. C-Q.

This is San Lupo. Can anyone hear me?

Is anyone out there?

Any luck?

It's working.

But without a frequency to connect to,

it's like singing in the shower.

No one ever hears it.

Well, thank God no one can hear you sing in the shower.

I don't even know what I'd say

if anyone answered my call.

I do.

New Ish would be as excited as me,

as all of us.

Come on. Let's get you out of this dark room

and have some fun!

The boys have challenged us to a game of baseball.

I didn't even know we had a baseball anymore.

Not exactly.

Let's play ball!

Now, now. Now, now!

Come on, Emma, let's see. Let's see!

All right, heavy hitter, heavy hitter!

Come on. Come on with it. Come on.

Heavy hitter, heavy hitter!

Okay, come on!

You got this, honey!

Strike her out!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Delay of game!

Uh-uh!

Hey! I've seen better swings on a porch!

Did Ish give you that line?

No, I came up with that all by myself.

Maybe he helped with the "porch" part.

The "porch" part is the joke.

All right, remember, three limes, and you're out!

That's a lemon in your hand, Jorge!

Watch out for his zester!

Three of any citrus fruit, and you're out!

Why are we using lemons?

I don't really know.

Cantaloupes aren't in season?

Back in the day, in Venezuela...

Oh, my God!

They called me the

the really, really good pitcher.

Nobody calls you that.

Pitch the lemon!

Okay.

You got it, Mom.

Let's get it!

Uhh. Oof!

Go, go, go!

Run! Run! Run!

You need the fruit to get her out!

Get the full fruit to get her out.

Get the whole fruit!

No, no, you need the full fruit!

Get the other one!

Over there! Get the other one!

She's coming home!

Throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it!

Get her! Get her!

She's coming!

Safe!

That was amazing. Okay, come here.

Ahh!

Woo!

All right! Yeah!

Ooh! Mwah!

Caleb, catch for me.

All right, everybody!

It's 5-4, there's two outs,

and get ready for three strikes coming right down the middle.

Why are there so many numbers in this game?

In the old days, we were obsessed with statistics.

Everything was measured. Everything was ranked.

Numbers were the way we explained the world.

147 225.

- What's that? - Uh. Numbers.

Uh, something Raif and I saw out there.

I-I told Ezra and Jean about it.

We saw it everywhere.

We followed it for months, but

didn't know what it meant.

147 225?

We saw it in abandoned towns,

spray-painted on almost every roof and door.

Okay, wait, wait, wait. I-I don't understand.

But that was it.

It was just

those numbers and arrows,

but the arrows never led anywhere.

Ish, why do you have that look in your eye?

C-Q. C-Q. C-Q.

This is San Lupo calling frequency 147.225.

Is anyone out there?

What's happening?

Making a call.

C-Q. C-Q. C-Q.

This is San Lupo calling frequency

147.225.

Is this frequency in use?

Who are you calling?

Is this enough reason to cancel a perfect game of lemon ball?

I think it might be.

C-Q. C-Q. C-Q.

This is San Lupo calling

frequency 147.225, is anyone there?

My name is Ish.

My wife is Emma.

We have two children, Alex and Heather.

I'm here with Ezra...

What am I doing? Um, we are here.

You are not alone.

This is 147.225.

You found us.

Uh. Uh, w-w-where are you?

Who are you?

Uh. This is Jorge!

Uh, we are in desperate need of cigars.

- No... - This is Emma!

It is so impossibly beautiful to hear your voice.

How many of you are there?

77.

Oh!

Where are you calling from?

You called us!

And thank you for calling us.

We're in Point Lobo.

It used to be a state park, before.

Point Lobo?

That's... that's less than a hundred miles away.

We settled by the ocean so we could fish and live.

We were nomads for years.

"Lobo"? I-I can't believe it.

What?

It's Spanish for "wolf."

Point Lobo, San Lupo?

Only the wolf survives.

Will you come to us, or shall we come to you?

Yes, yes, we're gonna figure all of that out.

Wait a minute.

This is going too fast.

18 years is fast?

I'm just saying, we don't know.

We can't live on an island forever.

This island,

it's been good to us.

We don't want another Charlie situation.

Are you there? Can you still hear me?

We were afraid too, if that's what you're thinking about.

When we first painted the frequency up,

many of us didn't want to do it.

Why did you?

Something kept telling us.

We had to.

We have to.

We have to.

Yes.

Yes!

- Yes! - Yes!

Yes!

Yes.

It's time.

Why me?

Because you're Heather's oldest.

One more lesson I learned, Jack,

one more thing to pass on,

and this I need you to especially remember.

Men go and come,

but the Earth

abides.
