Rachel: If I can get there
I can turn the power back on.

Look out for Charlie.

You nee to take
better care of her

We have to turn the lights on.

She turns the power on,

Or maybe she sets it on fire.

Aaron, o it.

Man: It's time to go home,
Mr. Presient.

We have to, we have to knock out
missile guiance, hurry.

I'm trying!

- Aaron, now.
- Eight, seven, six!

So out of nowhere,
the power flips on.

That Wurlitzer over there
roars to life,

plays "Ramble On" for,
like, four whole minutes,

an then just goes ark.

An people crie.

They sai it...

They sai it was like
hearing the voice of Go.

Story of my life.

What about you?
Where were you uring the Surge?

Well, I'm sorry.

What o you want to talk about?

What happene to your han?

Okay.

What's gotten into Stu?

It's never easy to say.

Man: Thanks, oc.

It's been months, but it still

He's the octor.
I'm just helping out.

Oh, I' be lost without her.

Sorry.

What's this?

My jacket melte onto my skin.

That's some burn.

I was 30 miles from Atlanta
when the bomb roppe.

Georgia Feeration.

Retire.

What's it like back east?

Rachel,

I' like to know.

Atlanta an Philly are gone.

They're just ea zones
'cause of the fallout.

Who knows
how many casualties.

Lot of the troops,
Georgian an Monroe,

they're just kin of wanering.

They're not fighting.

At least, well,
except to stay alive.

You shoul be gla

I know I am.

Have you seen this woman?

Miles: It's a umb accient.

I was slicing an apple.

Well, try not

Goo night.

Got any anesthetic?

Fresh out.

You know,

you shoul've seen Rachel
when she was a ki.

All black nail polish
an attitue

an a finely tune compass
for the wrong guy.

I mean, it was uncanny.

Pot ealers, rummers.

My favorite one

carrie throwing stars
like a ninja.

Then she met Ben.

He's a kin man.

Smart, for a change.

An I thought,

thank Go,
she's finally turne a corner.

Until I went to her weing.

An when no one else
was looking,

I saw the way
she glance at you.

Gene, there's nothing going on
between me an Rachel.

Right.

An it never i, huh, Miles?

Not when she was marrie
to your brother.

Your brother.

Look.

I owe you for bringing
my girl home to me.

I'm pisse
that you let Charlie go,

but I owe you for Rachel.

But the thing is,
she's getting better now...

...better every ay.

An the last thing
Rachel nees...

...is the wrong guy.

Jeff: So where are you heae?

Nowhere in particular,
just sort of seeing the sights.

Yeah, but you got anyboy?

I mean, you got any family
to get back to?

Nah, I on't have any family.

Can't go back to your unit.

They're probably scattere
like all the others.

I in't notice till morning.

Hey, it's okay.

Look.
Brothers in arms.

I was conscripte
for a few years myself.

Hey, you know,

I saw him a few weeks ago.

Which way i he go?

Ranall: "A house ivie
against itself cannot stan."

Ranall, just stop.

Ranall: Now there's no turning back.

I'm a patriot, Rachel.

No!

Gene: It was that Georgian solier,
wasn't it?

I'm fine.

Yeah, you look it.

How about we put
the big book of crazy away?

What was Ranall oing?

It's like, it's like

an I'm just scratching
at the eges of it.

Stop.

Sweetheart...

...these last few months
haven't been easy for you,

an they scare
the piss out of me.

You barely got your hea
straight again.

So please,

on't go looking for a relapse.

That guy, Ranall, was just
some Tim McVeigh whack job.

Unless there's more to it
than that.

Unless he was following orers.

Orers.

From who?

It's okay.

I'm just surprise.
That's all.

Well, I mean,
you're better now, right?

You're not nuts anymore.

Nice, Miles.

I'm fine.

An I appreciate...

...you looking after me.

It's just, why leave now,

Charlie?

Look at you.

Spitting image of your granma.

Miles: Hey, Gene?

What are you oing here?

You must have come 1,000 miles.

I was just hoping to hell

that you were still alive.

I... I in't know
where else to go.

It's my fault, a.

Things will get better.

They have to.

What makes you so sure?

Well, the lights surge on,
in't they?

Only for a few minutes,
but if...

Yeah.

Just long enough
for the nukes to rop.

The point is, they can turn on,

which means
they can turn on again.

That's not gonna happen.

An what makes you so sure?

I'm gonna get more firewoo.

Rachel: Maybe it was just
a bunch of fireflies.

Maybe there's
nothing more to it.

o you really believe that?

It wasn't just the fireflies.

What about the starling flocks?
What about the cicaas?

Things have gone
seriously haywire

since the Tower,
like uchovnian.

Aaron.

Can you explain
what happene that night?

'Cause I can't.

Ranall roppe the bombs,
an I couln't stop him.

That's not all that happene,

They never come this far south.

Well, this one i.

Think... great white.

They're gonna circle aroun,
take small bites,

an then they will
come in for the kill.

From back east, I think.

How long has he been here?

Few weeks, maybe?

Look, if you want

It's not a bet.

Hey.

No.

I coul've trie, but I in't,

'cause I get it.

After The Tower, I...

I unerstan how angry

Maybe we all are, but...

She'll fin her way home.

I nee to apologize to you.

So just stop it.

Okay?

Yeah?

Jimmy, there's a girl
that wants to meet you

out at the bar tent.

No, it's late.
I'm tire.

Trust me.

You're gonna want to wake up
for this one.

My name is
Secretary Justine Allenfor

with the Unite States
government.

I know that must come
as a shock to you,

but it's true.

After the blackout,

we were force
from the continent

by warlors
like Sebastian Monroe,

force to hule in Cuba,
our ranks ecimate.

An then Foster an Monroe,
in their maness,

brought back
the miracle of power

for a few precious secons,

only to launch
nuclear missiles.

An we have incontrovertible
proof that this is so.

An when we hear,
we knew we ha to return

to help in whatever
meager way we coul.

Is the presient still alive?

The presient is making his way

to the White House as we speak.

We also unerstan
that certain rebel forces

have been fighting
for the US,

an we're just sorry that
we coul not fight besie you.

But now we hope you'll join us.

We hope you all join us.

We're patriots.

An we want this country

to be great again.

Cynthia: This is precisely why
I live insie the walls.

We're okay.

Trust me.

My buy Stu,

beneath all the shay,
he's not one to overreact.

You go to be.

So you're just gonna stay up?

I' just feel better
keeping an eye on things.

Keeping an eye on me.

I on't know what I i
to eserve you.

What you i
to eserve all this?

Probably something horrible.

on't sell yourself short.
You're sweet.

A lot of guys are sweet.

You know, you never aske me
how I got this.

It's not my business.

efensive woun,
from my husban.

Yeah.

He came at me
with a paring knife.

Trust me, Aaron.

This ay an age,

sweet is a rare
an valuable commoity.

Well, if you're gonna stay up,
come to be.

We can both stay up.

Absolutely.

No!

Go, just go!
Just run, run!

Help! Help!
Help me!

Help, someboy!

A man just nees a purpose,
is all.

An yours is?

They have
incontrovertible proof.

o they?

That Monroe an Foster
ha WMs an use them.

Yeah, I know about six people
on the planet

know that's a lie.

Two of them staning
right here in this room.

Just the timing
of their arrival alone

here with hanshakes
an smiles.

Just when people
nee it the most.

Ain't that perfect?

An I bet you a steak inner

that Ranall Flynn
was in with them.

No, I oubt that these people
are Go-fearing Americans.

My guess is that
they're someone else entirely.

It's impressive, though.

Balls on them.

They're responsible
for the bombs...

...an for your mother's eath.

I am going to rip them apart
from the insie

until they are begging me
to ie.

That's not goo.

Sheriff.

Hello.

This is my family.
Welcome.

Welcome, welcome,

are gone for now.

Has anyone seen
Miles or the sheriff?
