Aired on: January 06, 2022.

Now that the road's open,

maybe we can go
scavenging again.

I don't want to leave.

It's not safe.

Too isolated here.

[Wolf howling]

I didn't promise, Frank.

She doesn't even like me.

She'd rather read a book.

Is anybody out there?

Wow, you sound so clear.

You too.

Where are you?

I don't really know.

[Sniffs] Uh...

Alone.

In the woods.

Walked across the ice last year

and just kind of found
this place.

Where are you?

By the water.

I'm looking for a doctor.

We really need help here.

I'm a doctor.

Oh.

Are you mad at me?

Your reading

- I'm sorry.
- I should have been watching.

You're supposed
to say that first.

I found this thing.

It makes a power outlet
out of a car battery.

So if it works,

you can charge your phone.

Maybe we can watch a movie.

Okay.

- She was number eight.
- Huh?

The lady who hit you
with a beanbag in the head.

Oh, right.

She was number eight
on the list of other people.

Right, right.

You know,
we actually missed one.

Beanbag lady,
she's actually number nine.

Who did we miss?

I put a snare over there.

You know, the dad back there,
he was dead.

But I think he died later,
'cause the mom and the kids,

they were in the bed,
but he was on the couch.

Way more flesh.

Made a song out of his kid.

Think he was a DJ.

- What do you want to do?
- Anything.

You can
charge your phone now.

I'm good.

I can't stay here
for the winter.

You need other kids.

I need other adults.

[Groans]
My head.

Where's my book?

- I don't know.
- Side pocket?

What did you do?

Did you take it?

You took it when I went
to check the snare.

Kirsten.

You can't go out.

I don't have
to listen to you.

You are not going,
God damn it!

I'm sorry.
It's just my head.

Why are you so mad at me?

I'm not...

Whatever happens to you
is my fault.

I haven't made a single choice
for myself since I met you.

I was just supposed
to walk you home.

You made us leave Frank's.

Yeah, but we waited too long.

We stayed
for your fuckin' play.

who are
prenatally synchronized.

I don't care!

And I believe every single
one of them will give birth

at the exact same time
in four days.

I don't know you!

Lost my medical license.

So...

I was home
when every other doctor died.

My sister was a doctor.

And my brother...

Died right in front of me.

Then you're
already qualified.

The courage to bear witness
to death is the job,

the courage to be there.
