(woman screams)
You need me. You just
don't know it yet.
What the fuck
are you talking about?
NORA: But there aren't
any trucks coming.
Sooner or later,
the food will run out.
‐What happens then?
‐I did not mean to...
You killed him.
KIMBERLY:
What was the description?
REGINA:
Six feet tall with a monkey
on his shoulder.
KIMBERLY:
Yorick Brown!
MARLA: You made me think
I was crazy.
(screaming)
‐I can't believe
you're the president.
‐(sighs)
CHRISTINE:
Secret Service is
at a quarter capacity.
We had to barricade
the subway entrance.
Did somebody get in?
No.
I'm gonna live my life.
You should do the same.
(gasps)
(gun chamber clicks)
You need a doctor.
Don't trust anybody.
Thanks for letting us stay.
(panting)
FRAN:
You like it here?
525: You still think we chose
you 'cause you're special?
Our secret.

Well, people drop in and out.
Still... exhausting.
SONIA:
Yeah, well, we're making up

weddings, birthdays.

The doc said take it easy.
The doc got 20 years
for dealing fentanyl.
Doesn't mean she can't
treat a head injury.
I told you not to go anywhere.
Oh, come on.
This place is way safer
than anywhere else we've been.
Look, people here took pleas.
You know, a lot of them
are probably innocent.
Just over‐prosecution,
systemic racism.
Why are you whispering?
'Cause I don't want
to be insensitive.
‐You whispered "racism."
‐No, look.
All I meant was that...
is that women usually kill
their abusers or whatever.
Right?
No, Okay, yes, I know, women are
people, and people are awful,
but I'm just saying,
statistically...
‐Oh, statistics.
‐No, statistically,
you are, like, less likely
to start shit, so...
What? It's fine. This place
is fine. That's my point.
Believe me, I started shit.
Most of us did.
(Allison scoffs)
You're not the first guy
to try to teach me about prison.

‐Yorick... no.
‐Don't think too hard. Just...
Come on. Oh, I get it.

What's your deal?
My deal?
Are you into him, too?
(laughs)
‐APRIL: Say that again, bitch!
‐WOMAN: Yeah, yeah, no.
Fuck your music. You don't know
what you're talking about!
You can just say "hi," you know.
It's, uh, Allison, right?
Dominique.
I'm not a "hi" person.
I can tell.
Shut the fuck up!
(footsteps approaching)
What's this?
Vibrator?
(Sonia laughs)
(scoffs) I give up.
I found it in your van...
with your stuff.
Oh. It's not mine.
So, if I showed it to Yorick,
he wouldn't care?
What about Allison?
Can I get in there?
Is‐is that me?
Am I the sandwich?
‐You don't intimidate me.
‐Hmm?
‐Yeah, we're the same.
‐(chuckles)
I've done terrible things, too.
Come on! What is it?
It's a detonator?
Some kind of tracking device?
Okay. Well,
whatever it is, tell him.
He trusts you for some reason.
Don't fuck that up.
You know, say what you want
about me,
but at least I can admit
I actually like him.
(door opens)
YORICK:
Hey.
Uh...
Janis told me one per household.
This is it,
until next Saturday.
‐Yeah.
‐Yeah?
Okay, but just
don't tell Allison,
'cause she's been on me
about my sperm count. Okay?
(door opens, closes)
(children chattering)
(laughing)
FRAN:
Might be too advanced for you.
It's not.
Prove it.

MAN: Hey, it's me. I came
to the gate. We're boarding.
(loud, overlapping
male chatter)
MAN 2:
So I saved your phone number.
‐We got to
hammer out this deal...
‐(overlapping chatter)
‐MAN 3: Hey, Dad. It's me again.
‐MAN 4: I like your order.
GRANDFATHER:
I'm thinking about
you, sweetheart.
You know, I hope
I sent the birthday card
to the right address.
I wouldn't bet on it,
but I'm thinking of you, right?
‐(beep)
‐MAN 5: Hey, it's me.
Just calling to say "Hi."
MAN 6: Uh, call me back, and
I'm Blair's nephew. Thank you.
MAN 7:
Call back...
MAN 8:
Yeah, give us a call.
(indistinct,
overlapping male voices)
MAN 9:
Dad drove like
a bat out of hell.
Guess we were
on the ground, for...
MAN 10:
Give us a call tonight
when we're home. Uh...
MAN 11:
Hey, Jane. It's Michael.
Um, I was just here.
‐MAN 12: Please pick up.

Wanted to talk to you
about something.
MAN 17:
Um, also, they're...
(indistinct female chatter)
WOMAN:
Yeah, of course.
(indistinct chatter)
80 days.
He'd walk around the block,
and he'd be wheezing.
We couldn't go anywhere,
do anything.
Then the week was over,
and I left.
Hey, there's ten inside,
all unarmed.
Now's the time.
We're too similar.
A few days later, it happened.
He was alone,
I was watching TV.
I should have been there.
I should have been with him.
‐(horse neighing)
‐Hey.
Three women with guns.
Two up front, one by the food.
Nora was right.
We can take them.
Tell the girls, food first.
Take as much as they can carry.
Fucking grocery shopping,
Nora, that's all that is.
You inspired by groceries?
We'll eat tonight.
That's good enough.
‐(horse sputters)
‐All right, girls.
This is what
we've been training for.
These women built
a shrine to men.
They are mourning a world
that hurt us.
That has consequences,
and we are those consequences.
We will take everything they
have: their tents, their food.
It is the only way
that they will learn.
Nora, where's your weapon?
I'll watch the kids.
Mack'll watch the kids.
Come on.
(horse sputters)
You ride with Nicky.
All right,
let's go have some fun.
(horses neighing)
(women shouting)
CYNTHIA:
Plain as day, I saw it.
We have proof. Come see.
‐(loud hoofbeats)
‐(women shouting)
(women shouting and screaming)
Daughters of the Amazons,
take what's yours!
(cheering, whooping)
Get out of the way!
(distant shouting)
(horse neighing)
(laughs)
(grunts)
(distant shouting)
No, no, no, no!
Wait a minute!
No, no, no!
Stop this! Please!
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
No. No, no, no, no! That's...
Stop that!
(indistinct shouting)
Don't! Laura!
Don't touch
the fucking Corn Pops!
WOMAN:
Get it! Get it! Get it!
My name is Athena.
WOMAN 2:
Get out of our way!
MAN:
Red or green? Your list
just says "peppers."
‐They got yellow and orange.
‐(loud thudding)
Hi. It's Bennett. How are you?
It's 3:30 your time...
(whoops)
‐MAN 2: Hey.
‐BENNETT: Uh, you went before?
‐Um...
‐(overlapping chatter)
(chatter in slow motion)
I used to caddy.
Summer job.
(distorted voice)
‐I actually had...
‐(electrical squeal)
...a pretty good...
swing!
Great pick. Ten out of ten.
Girls fucking nailed it!
You got some water?
(panting)
I'm thirsty, Nora. That's how
people get heatstroke.
We could've traded that.
All of this had value.
You got the girls all riled up.
Now we have nothing!
A week ago, we were starving.
Now look at us.
I walk around here,
I see a lot of happy girls.
Fuck this stuff.
No one else is worried.
Of course not.
I'm surrounded by children!
MACK:
Your tent's ready.
Wow! Already?
Superstar.
(laughs)
Good job, Mack!
Take me to my lair. (laughs)
Come here.
I like that jump. Nice.
PEGGY: The Secret Service
is doing a training exercise.
Her detail is off site
until tomorrow.
This is our window.
I've reassigned the agents
closest to her.
We're rotating in
some new recruits.
They don't know her.
They'll follow their CO's lead.
REGINA:
Second thoughts, General?
Now's the time.
No, ma'am.
I know I'm not
a traditional choice.
You seem like someone who values
tradition and continuity.
Two of my pilots are dead.
Murdered on the orders
of a sitting president.
She's lost the right to lead.
Mm. What about you?
Second thoughts?
Madam Secretary.
Oh, Madam President.
At least, it will be
in about 30 minutes.
‐(door opens, closes)
‐REGINA: What do you need?
A Valium?
These women don't trust me.
You have to reassure them.
You picked me.
They can, too.
Jesus, Kim.
Get your shit together.
I need you.
(door opens)
(door closes)
BETH:
She was still there.
Alone.
Doctors were long gone.
No food, no water.
You know what Jennifer said
when I told her?
"I wish I could've made a call."
A call.
She's not a bad person.
These are just the rules
she's learned to live by.
This system has
always been broken,
but they will hold onto it
as long as they can.
It is all they know.
So we have
to tear that place down.
Let the grass grow.
You've known Jennifer Brown a
lot longer than you've known us.
Yeah. And if you hadn't met me,
you'd still be watching
at that fucking gate.
KAI:
It's ready.
(rapid ticking)
I would kill for anything fresh.
Those sad tomatoes, gray ones?
(Jennifer chuckles)
It's not fresh, but...
I had Abby grab them
from the kitchen for you.
‐I know you like 'em.
‐(laughs)
Ma'am, the...
They are just oranges.
What?
Um...
What is it?
What's wrong?
I m‐made a mistake.
Uh...
I was on the pill.
I couldn't have missed more
than a day, two at most,
and then so many women
miscarried, so I thought...
You're pregnant?
(voice breaking)
I'm so sorry.
‐No.
‐I was selfish and reckless.
‐I didn't mean it like that. No.
‐It was an enormous error
‐in judgment...
‐No sorrys. No sorrys.
How are you feeling?
(laughs, sniffles)
Well, I always wanted
to have kids...
someday.
But it's not like...
I wasn't in love.
But this could be
my only chance, and
what kind of a world would...?
Nobody knows
what they're doing, okay?
I was terrified
when I was pregnant with Hero,
afraid I'd fuck it up,
and, I mean,
even at our worst,
she was the best decision
I've ever made.
‐(knocking)
‐Ma'am, I...
‐Just a minute.
‐(door opens)
I said just a moment!
Ma'am, they need you
in the war room.
Where's Abby?
And who are you?
KIMBERLY:
You were in the woods.
He was ten feet away.
Is that him?
Yorick Brown, no question.
Hmm.
‐She's been coached.
‐If we were making this up,
it'd be a hell
of a lot more believable.
Jennifer heard the captain's
story and had her reassigned.
It's a staggering abuse
of power.
(door opens)
What's all this?
LISA: They're saying
your son is alive.
Burgin found him in New York.
Tell them to stand down.
KIMBERLY:
You're unbelievable.
My mother was fragile, grieving.
Kim, I know
you're suffering, but...
You killed my mother,
made her feel crazy.
Might as well have pushed her
off the roof yourself.
She's been lying to all of you.
She's still lying to you.
This sisterhood you think
you're building‐‐ it's bullshit.
Is it true?
Lisa, this is a woman
who has concerns about fluoride.
She's not a serious person.
Is that supposed
to hurt my feelings?
She's been keeping you all
in the dark.
All of you.
Everyone except for you,
Christine.
‐What?
‐I am saying this as someone
who cares about you.
You need to come clean.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
There are two eyewitnesses.
She used you
to cover her tracks.
The order to have the captain
reassigned came through you.
‐Enough.
‐Let‐let her finish.
KIMBERLY:
Listen to me. Jennifer Brown
won't suffer that much,
but you‐‐ you're nobody.
No one is going to protect you.
Those people out there
at the gate?
When they find out
that you knew about this?
They're going to rip you
limb from limb.
‐I don't...
‐I'm just looking out for you.
‐Somebody has to.
‐Leave her out of this.
She didn't know.
‐No, ma'am...
‐It's okay.
‐I thought he was dead.
‐WOMAN: Oh, God.
‐Oh, my God, Jennifer. Like...
‐He was found in New York
in the evacuation.
I have no idea how he survived.
‐You can't be serious?
‐He was in this building?
There is a geneticist
at Harvard.
Agent Burgin is
bringing Yorick to her
‐so we can learn how, why he...
‐REGINA: Harvard?
They were
in Central Pennsylvania.
Where were they going?
That's classified.
Oh, classified?
Or you don't fucking know?
I did what I thought
was best, for all of us.
‐If anyone found out that you...
‐AISHA: That's not a good way
for a president
to start a sentence.
Presidents make tough decisions.
The best thing to do
was keep the circle closed.
It's not much of a circle
if it's just you.
KIMBERLY:
You took our only chance
at bringing the world back,
and you hid him away.
‐I had no choice.
‐He could have been killed,
‐taken by foreign powers...
‐We're already a target!
‐The selfishness!
‐I did what I did
to protect you, all of you.
KIMBERLY:
The future of the human race
depends on his survival,
and you sent him out there
with one person?
You weren't thinking
about any of us.
You wanted him
all to yourself.
‐He's my son.
‐My sons are dead!
Two American helicopter pilots
were murdered on your orders.
‐That's not true.
‐You wanted no one to know.
You said it yourself:
"Keep the circle closed."
I would never. That was
a horrifying accident.
Either Burgin is taking orders
from you, or she's gone rogue.
Either way, you've lost control.
REGINA:
You'll be placed
in protective custody,
and we will figure out
a transition.
‐RACHEL: Isn't that premature?
‐(indistinct chatter)
This is not a discussion.
She has to go.
MIRANDA:
She's right, Jennifer.
They're already screaming
"conspiracy."
Can you imagine, with this?
PRIYA:
We get out ahead of it,
or we all seem guilty.
(rapid ticking)
Shh! Do you hear that?
(rapid ticking)
‐Run!
‐(dings)
Secretary Oliver will serve out
the rest of Jennifer's term.
No! We'll choose
an acting president, one of us.
She'll serve until
we can hold an election.
There was an election.
Ted Campbell won, he picked me.
‐Campbell doesn't get a say.
‐The voters do.
(loud knocking)
(murmuring)
(door opens)
(quietly)
There's been an explosion.
What's happening?
I need you all to come with me.
There's been
an explosion underground.
‐What? Where?
‐What exactly
are we talking about?
An accident? Attack?
‐We have to get somewhere safe.
‐Come on. Come on.
‐This way. Let's go.
‐The emergency command center,
C‐ring.
It's secure, blast‐proof.
We'll figure out what's
going on and go from there.
So you can lock us in?
Force our hand?
PEGGY:
I'll be first one in,
and the last one out.
We can't stay here.
Let's go please. Fast. Let's go!
Move, move, move!
(coughing)
‐(coughing)
‐(indistinct, quiet chatter)
‐Come on!
‐JOY: Fighting at the gate!
People heard the bomb. They're
pulling down a piece of fence.
‐It's really happening.
‐SOLDIER: We need support.
They're sending
companies to secure
the perimeter, sweep the roof.
‐They're scrambling.
‐JOY: Second bomb is
by the generators, ready to go.
‐Patrols?
‐JOY: Just the one.
You were right‐‐
they're spread thin.
Start sending people
through here. Get as many
in here as possible.
We need cover.
‐VIPs headed to C‐ring.
‐(people coughing)
Come on. Move, move!
Eyes up.
You're the only one of us
that's been inside.
You good?
Good. Come on.
PEGGY:
Protesters breached the gate.
‐Where are they now?
‐Did you send them?
Of course not.
This wasn't us.
LISA:
Okay. Crowd control.
What is the plan?
PEGGY:
Water cannons, tear gas.
Live ammunition
only if we have to.
What if they're already inside?
We need to evacuate.
MIRANDA:
We'll handle this, Jennifer.
What kind of breach
are we talking about?
How many people? 50?
‐500?
‐REGINA: What if we don't
clear the building?
‐I mean, at least not yet.
‐These people are angry.
‐They hate us!
‐REGINA: They hate
Jennifer Brown.
I mean, give me a chance
to talk to them.
Regina! Peggy,
clear the building.
Oh, all due respect, hon,
you don't even have a title.
Hey, I'm trying
to convince these people
‐you're a steady hand.
‐(explosion)
(screaming)
PEGGY:
Stay calm!
Follow me.
(indistinct chatter)
‐Stop! Drop your weapons!
‐(screaming)
‐Guns... down!
‐(gasping, whimpering)
Guns down.
Put the guns down!
‐Stand down.
‐(soft whimpering)
Stand down.
Put your hands out
in front of you!
Hands out!
Go.
(woman whimpering)
(zip ties squeaking)
Don't.
DENISE:
Everyone in a uniform,
follow me.
‐No, no, no,
you‐you can't. You can't!
‐Let's go. Move.
‐PEGGY: We'll be okay.
‐Move!
‐Move! Move.
‐Move!
‐Yeah. Go.
‐(indistinct shout)
‐Let's go! Move!
‐Hurry up!
‐Go.
‐Move! Come on!
‐You're okay. You're okay.
Move, move, move!
‐Move! Move.
‐Move!
‐(laughter)
‐HALEY: Once I saw Roxanne,
I forgot to be scared.
Well, that's fun for you,
'cause I was fucking nervous.
‐(laughter)
‐Hero wasn't.
(Hero laughs)
‐No, I was.
‐Hmm?
I saw you: fearless.
Makes sense.
Your boyfriend. Hmm?
You killed him, right?
‐KELSEY: Yeah.
‐Yeah.
He made you do it.
Goaded you into it.
It was his fault, not yours.
‐(scoffs) Yeah.
‐Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
‐Thank you.
‐(grunts)
(indistinct, distant chatter)
(laughter)
I can't believe you did this.
I can't stop thinking about it.
‐Really?
‐Yeah. Stop it.
‐(laughs)
‐Yeah, that sucks.
I saw what you did.
I used to get so angry...
over nothing.
Robbie... (laughs)
Robbie would call
to check the grocery list.
Uh, "Peppers‐‐ red or green?"
I don't fucking care.
Make a choice,
like I did, when I wrote
"peppers" in the first place!
I did exactly
what I was supposed to do.
I had the husband, the kids,
the house, the job.
Wasn't enough.
I wanted to be better.
Different.
But I am who I am.
I'm angry.
It's what kept me alive.
I would've died without it.
Mack and I never
would've made it.
Next time,
don't tell Roxanne your secrets.
She's not worthy of them.
AISHA:
If we pull the sprinklers,
‐then we can...
‐No, we rerouted them weeks ago.
Couldn't spare the water.
This must've taken months.
Surveillance, planning.
‐MIRANDA: Someone on the inside?
‐LISA: Maybe.
‐Is‐is that...?
‐Yeah. Shh, shh.
How did they even get in here?
Regina got General Reed
on her side.
I mean, the fucking U. S. Army?
They made us vulnerable.
You can't tell them
about Yorick.
What if Regina...?
It's her word against ours.
You should have told us.
‐Would you have?
‐MALIKA: Hey,
‐destroy records, comms.
‐KAI: This is fucking huge.
Destroy records, comms. Go, now!
Army wants proof of life, or
they'll start using live rounds.
‐She's right there.
Put her on.
‐They're asking for
Regina Oliver.
They say she's the president.
‐What? Call them back.
‐I know, it's crazy.
Find out what the fuck is going
on. Don't agree to anything.
BETH:
Regina Oliver?
Where the fuck are the soldiers?
KIMBERLY: They can't just
come in here shooting.
We'll lose the whole government.
Oh, God.
(indistinct chatter)
Talk.
This is Kimberly Campbell?
SOLDIER:
Ma'am, is the president
with you? Is she safe?
We're in the war room. They have
guns. We're in the war room.
(screaming, gasping, whimpering)
‐(gasping)
‐Jennifer Brown
or Regina Oliver.
Who is it?
Who is the president?!
Answer her. Who's in charge?
Me, me. Me.
Food, medicine, weapon reserves.
We want locations, access.
Okay, we can talk,
after you let them go.
You don't need all of us.
I'm enough.
Stockpiles‐‐ where are they?
‐(loud thudding on door)
‐What was that?
There are a thousand military
personnel in this building,
being very careful right now,
but they're gonna
get in this room.
One way or another.
I can help you.
Any offer she makes you
is worthless.
Jennifer Brown doesn't
speak for anyone.
Not anymore.
I'm the president.
‐Regina, sit down!
‐I'll negotiate.
‐I am your best and only bet.
‐PRIYA: What?
LISA:
Where are the stockpiles?
Where are the weapons silos?
Can you tell her
any fucking thing?
Let the adults do their jobs!
You always were
a liberal fucking snake.
‐Go to hell!
‐(loud, overlapping chatter)
‐(gunshot)
‐Quiet!
‐(soft shrieking)
Quiet for one fucking second!
(soft whimpering)
We have to move.
She told them where we are.
They could be down here
any second.
Okay, we can't move 20 people.
We'd need a goddamn school bus.
Small groups, then.
We can hide in B‐ring.
We can't stay here.
(gasps)
Okay. Get everybody
and move. Go.
‐You. You three, get up.
‐You, up. Move!
Well, I can talk about this.

Disperse immediately.

Let's‐let's talk.
I can help you.
I‐I am on your side. What,
you'd rather deal with her?
The shit she's done‐‐ you
wouldn't believe the half of it.
‐KIMBERLY: Regina!
‐She met with Ted Campbell
the night before the men died.
Maybe she knew what was coming.
Maybe they all did.
‐The Washington elite.
‐MALIKA: Shut up!
‐What are you doing?
‐These people are all guilty.
I'm the one
you should be dealing with.
Stop! Shut up! Enough bullshit!
Jennifer's son is alive!
She killed two soldiers
to keep it quiet.

They'll be here any minute.
What are you waiting for? Go!
‐Malika...
‐Okay, we need to buy time.
You just... I mean, you...
What did you think would happen?
We walk in here,
no one gets hurt?
This is the fucking Pentagon!
‐You said no one would get...
‐There is no
government without these people!
It is that simple.
You want to start over?
You want real change?
This is it.
She's next. Tell them!
(Christine panting)
SONIA:
Yorick?
Sorry. What?
SONIA:
Your hands are disgusting.
Yeah, it's the apocalypse.
Oh, no. What? What is this?
You're in the hands...
of a licensed cosmetologist.
Ah, well, that is reassuring.
(chuckles)
They kept trying to put me
on license plates,
but I'd fuck up so they'd
send me back to the salon.
We had this one type of lotion.
It was called "Freshscent."
‐It smelled like
fucking floor wax.
‐Uh‐huh.
This...
is coconut.
‐(laughs)
‐It's... it's...
(laughing)
It smells like sunscreen.
(laughs)
Well, I have, uh,
lavender upstairs, or...
‐orange blossom.
‐Um...
Yeah.
So this all belonged
to someone, right?
Like, somebody lived here?
(sighs)
Um, hey, I'm sure that you guys
did what you had to do...
You're sure? How?
Uh, you can't... you can't
just ask people shit like that.
(Sonia sighs)
All right, um,
the guards were men... mostly.
We were in the yard
when it happened.
At first, the women thought
we did it,
but then, they were outnumbered,
scared, so they locked us in.
Left us.
It was days.
Jesus.
So, once we broke out,
they were waiting
for us with guns.
They were so scared,
they forgot that we were people.
Us or them.
I'm sorry.
‐Maybe it won't last.
‐I‐I mean,
‐crazier things
have happened, right?
‐Mm.
I mean, half the world died.
That was pretty weird.
(both laugh softly)
Maybe you're right.
Who knows?
Maybe we'll get lucky.
ALLISON:
You're tall.

No.

willing participant.
You did that to yourself?
Uh‐huh.

Oh, they smell like road sweat.
‐That shit doesn't wash out.
‐Hmm.
I'm going back

Seriously?
Tall? Grumpy?
Not as grumpy as you.
She sounds great.
‐Mm. She hates us.
‐Mm.
Thought
I'd put in some face time,
assess the threat level.
(soft chuckle)
Well, you need backup?
You'd scare her off.
Also, there's an outside chance
I'll get laid.
No, no, no, no, don't do that.
I fuck who I want, okay?
‐Well, I didn't say...
‐No, it was right there.
You think you're a good liar,
but you're not.
It wouldn't kill you
to be less judgmental.
‐She was a getaway driver.
‐(laughs airily)
It's not like she killed anyone.
What's up with you?

That one.
Mm.

None of them comes close to you.
You are better than this!
(exhales, inhales)
They tell you,
"Work hard, follow the rules,

That's not how it works.
You never had a real chance.

‐so we can learn how, why he...
‐REGINA: Harvard?
They were
in Central Pennsylvania.
Where were they going?
That's classified.
Oh, classified?
Or you don't fucking know?
I did what I thought
was best, for all of us.
‐If anyone found out that you...
‐AISHA: That's not a good way
for a president
to start a sentence.
Presidents make tough decisions.
The best thing to do
was keep the circle closed.
It's not much of a circle
if it's just you.
KIMBERLY:
You took our only chance
at bringing the world back,
and you hid him away.
‐I had no choice.
‐He could have been killed,
‐taken by foreign powers...
‐We're already a target!
‐The selfishness!
‐I did what I did
to protect you, all of you.
KIMBERLY:
The future of the human race
depends on his survival,
and you sent him out there
with one person?
You weren't thinking
about any of us.
You wanted him
all to yourself.
‐He's my son.
‐My sons are dead!
Two American helicopter pilots
were murdered on your orders.
‐That's not true.
‐You wanted no one to know.
You said it yourself:
"Keep the circle closed."
I would never. That was
a horrifying accident.
Either Burgin is taking orders
from you, or she's gone rogue.
Either way, you've lost control.
REGINA:
You'll be placed
in protective custody,
and we will figure out
a transition.
‐RACHEL: Isn't that premature?
‐(indistinct chatter)
This is not a discussion.
She has to go.
MIRANDA:
She's right, Jennifer.
They're already screaming
"conspiracy."
Can you imagine, with this?
PRIYA:
We get out ahead of it,
or we all seem guilty.
(rapid ticking)
Shh! Do you hear that?
(rapid ticking)
‐Run!
‐(dings)
Secretary Oliver will serve out
the rest of Jennifer's term.
No! We'll choose
an acting president, one of us.
She'll serve until
we can hold an election.
There was an election.
Ted Campbell won, he picked me.
‐Campbell doesn't get a say.
‐The voters do.
(loud knocking)
(murmuring)
(door opens)
(quietly)
There's been an explosion.
What's happening?
I need you all to come with me.
There's been
an explosion underground.
‐What? Where?
‐What exactly
are we talking about?
An accident? Attack?
‐We have to get somewhere safe.
‐Come on. Come on.
‐This way. Let's go.
‐The emergency command center,
C‐ring.
It's secure, blast‐proof.
We'll figure out what's
going on and go from there.
So you can lock us in?
Force our hand?
PEGGY:
I'll be first one in,
and the last one out.
We can't stay here.
Let's go please. Fast. Let's go!
Move, move, move!
(coughing)
‐(coughing)
‐(indistinct, quiet chatter)
‐Come on!
‐JOY: Fighting at the gate!
People heard the bomb. They're
pulling down a piece of fence.
‐It's really happening.
‐SOLDIER: We need support.
They're sending
companies to secure
the perimeter, sweep the roof.
‐They're scrambling.
‐JOY: Second bomb is
by the generators, ready to go.
‐Patrols?
‐JOY: Just the one.
You were right‐‐
they're spread thin.
Start sending people
through here. Get as many
in here as possible.
We need cover.
‐VIPs headed to C‐ring.
‐(people coughing)
Come on. Move, move!
Eyes up.
You're the only one of us
that's been inside.
You good?
Good. Come on.
PEGGY:
Protesters breached the gate.
‐Where are they now?
‐Did you send them?
Of course not.
This wasn't us.
LISA:
Okay. Crowd control.
What is the plan?
PEGGY:
Water cannons, tear gas.
Live ammunition
only if we have to.
What if they're already inside?
We need to evacuate.
MIRANDA:
We'll handle this, Jennifer.
What kind of breach
are we talking about?
How many people? 50?
‐500?
‐REGINA: What if we don't
clear the building?
‐I mean, at least not yet.
‐These people are angry.
‐They hate us!
‐REGINA: They hate
Jennifer Brown.
I mean, give me a chance
to talk to them.
Regina! Peggy,
clear the building.
Oh, all due respect, hon,
you don't even have a title.
Hey, I'm trying
to convince these people
‐you're a steady hand.
‐(explosion)
(screaming)
PEGGY:
Stay calm!
Follow me.
(indistinct chatter)
‐Stop! Drop your weapons!
‐(screaming)
‐Guns... down!
‐(gasping, whimpering)
Guns down.
Put the guns down!
‐Stand down.
‐(soft whimpering)
Stand down.
Put your hands out
in front of you!
Hands out!
Go.
(woman whimpering)
(zip ties squeaking)
Don't.
DENISE:
Everyone in a uniform,
follow me.
‐No, no, no,
you‐you can't. You can't!
‐Let's go. Move.
‐PEGGY: We'll be okay.
‐Move!
‐Move! Move.
‐Move!
‐Yeah. Go.
‐(indistinct shout)
‐Let's go! Move!
‐Hurry up!
‐Go.
‐Move! Come on!
‐You're okay. You're okay.
Move, move, move!
‐Move! Move.
‐Move!
‐(laughter)
‐HALEY: Once I saw Roxanne,
I forgot to be scared.
Well, that's fun for you,
'cause I was fucking nervous.
‐(laughter)
‐Hero wasn't.
(Hero laughs)
‐No, I was.
‐Hmm?
I saw you: fearless.
Makes sense.
Your boyfriend. Hmm?
You killed him, right?
‐KELSEY: Yeah.
‐Yeah.
He made you do it.
Goaded you into it.
It was his fault, not yours.
‐(scoffs) Yeah.
‐Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
‐Thank you.
‐(grunts)
(indistinct, distant chatter)
(laughter)
I can't believe you did this.
I can't stop thinking about it.
‐Really?
‐Yeah. Stop it.
‐(laughs)
‐Yeah, that sucks.
I saw what you did.
I used to get so angry...
over nothing.
Robbie... (laughs)
Robbie would call
to check the grocery list.
Uh, "Peppers‐‐ red or green?"
I don't fucking care.
Make a choice,
like I did, when I wrote
"peppers" in the first place!
I did exactly
what I was supposed to do.
I had the husband, the kids,
the house, the job.
Wasn't enough.
I wanted to be better.
Different.
But I am who I am.
I'm angry.
It's what kept me alive.
I would've died without it.
Mack and I never
would've made it.
Next time,
don't tell Roxanne your secrets.
She's not worthy of them.
AISHA:
If we pull the sprinklers,
‐then we can...
‐No, we rerouted them weeks ago.
Couldn't spare the water.
This must've taken months.
Surveillance, planning.
‐MIRANDA: Someone on the inside?
‐LISA: Maybe.
‐Is‐is that...?
‐Yeah. Shh, shh.
How did they even get in here?
Regina got General Reed
on her side.
I mean, the fucking U. S. Army?
They made us vulnerable.
You can't tell them
about Yorick.
What if Regina...?
It's her word against ours.
You should have told us.
‐Would you have?
‐MALIKA: Hey,
‐destroy records, comms.
‐KAI: This is fucking huge.
Destroy records, comms. Go, now!
Army wants proof of life, or
they'll start using live rounds.
‐She's right there.
Put her on.
‐They're asking for
Regina Oliver.
They say she's the president.
‐What? Call them back.
‐I know, it's crazy.
Find out what the fuck is going
on. Don't agree to anything.
BETH:
Regina Oliver?
Where the fuck are the soldiers?
KIMBERLY: They can't just
come in here shooting.
We'll lose the whole government.
Oh, God.
(indistinct chatter)
Talk.
This is Kimberly Campbell?
SOLDIER:
Ma'am, is the president
with you? Is she safe?
We're in the war room. They have
guns. We're in the war room.
(screaming, gasping, whimpering)
‐(gasping)
‐Jennifer Brown
or Regina Oliver.
Who is it?
Who is the president?!
Answer her. Who's in charge?
Me, me. Me.
Food, medicine, weapon reserves.
We want locations, access.
Okay, we can talk,
after you let them go.
You don't need all of us.
I'm enough.
Stockpiles‐‐ where are they?
‐(loud thudding on door)
‐What was that?
There are a thousand military
personnel in this building,
being very careful right now,
but they're gonna
get in this room.
One way or another.
I can help you.
Any offer she makes you
is worthless.
Jennifer Brown doesn't
speak for anyone.
Not anymore.
I'm the president.
‐Regina, sit down!
‐I'll negotiate.
‐I am your best and only bet.
‐PRIYA: What?
LISA:
Where are the stockpiles?
Where are the weapons silos?
Can you tell her
any fucking thing?
Let the adults do their jobs!
You always were
a liberal fucking snake.
‐Go to hell!
‐(loud, overlapping chatter)
‐(gunshot)
‐Quiet!
‐(soft shrieking)
Quiet for one fucking second!
(soft whimpering)
We have to move.
She told them where we are.
They could be down here
any second.
Okay, we can't move 20 people.
We'd need a goddamn school bus.
Small groups, then.
We can hide in B‐ring.
We can't stay here.
(gasps)
Okay. Get everybody
and move. Go.
‐You. You three, get up.
‐You, up. Move!
Well, I can talk about this.
‐Shut up. Move!
‐Get over here!
‐Okay, we're going. We're going.
‐Let's go.
‐Stay calm.
‐Come on. Come on.
‐Where are you taking them?
‐Come on. Go. Move it.
WOMAN: (over bullhorn)
Disperse immediately.
Clear the building,
or you will be shot on sight.
Leave the building immediately.
‐WOMAN: Let us in!
‐Where are you taking us?
Let's‐let's talk.
I can help you.
I‐I am on your side. What,
you'd rather deal with her?
The shit she's done‐‐ you
wouldn't believe the half of it.
‐KIMBERLY: Regina!
‐She met with Ted Campbell
the night before the men died.
Maybe she knew what was coming.
Maybe they all did.
‐The Washington elite.
‐MALIKA: Shut up!
‐What are you doing?
‐These people are all guilty.
I'm the one
you should be dealing with.
Stop! Shut up! Enough bullshit!
Jennifer's son is alive!
She killed two soldiers
to keep it quiet.
(screaming)
Oh, my...
(panting)
BETH:
What are...
WOMAN:
God!
(woman whimpering)
(retching, gasping)
(loud, wheezy panting)
BETH:
What did you...
Bring the body outside.
Tell them she's next
if they don't back off!
They'll be here any minute.
What are you waiting for? Go!
‐Malika...
‐Okay, we need to buy time.
You just... I mean, you...
What did you think would happen?
We walk in here,
no one gets hurt?
This is the fucking Pentagon!
‐You said no one would get...
‐There is no
government without these people!
It is that simple.
You want to start over?
You want real change?
This is it.
She's next. Tell them!
(Christine panting)
SONIA:
Yorick?
Sorry. What?
SONIA:
Your hands are disgusting.
Yeah, it's the apocalypse.
Oh, no. What? What is this?
You're in the hands...
of a licensed cosmetologist.
Ah, well, that is reassuring.
(chuckles)
They kept trying to put me
on license plates,
but I'd fuck up so they'd
send me back to the salon.
We had this one type of lotion.
It was called "Freshscent."
‐It smelled like
fucking floor wax.
‐Uh‐huh.
This...
is coconut.
‐(laughs)
‐It's... it's...
(laughing)
It smells like sunscreen.
(laughs)
Well, I have, uh,
lavender upstairs, or...
‐orange blossom.
‐Um...
Yeah.
So this all belonged
to someone, right?
Like, somebody lived here?
(sighs)
Um, hey, I'm sure that you guys
did what you had to do...
You're sure? How?
Uh, you can't... you can't
just ask people shit like that.
(Sonia sighs)
All right, um,
the guards were men... mostly.
We were in the yard
when it happened.
At first, the women thought
we did it,
but then, they were outnumbered,
scared, so they locked us in.
Left us.
It was days.
Jesus.
So, once we broke out,
they were waiting
for us with guns.
They were so scared,
they forgot that we were people.
Us or them.
I'm sorry.
‐Maybe it won't last.
‐I‐I mean,
‐crazier things
have happened, right?
‐Mm.
I mean, half the world died.
That was pretty weird.
(both laugh softly)
Maybe you're right.
Who knows?
Maybe we'll get lucky.
ALLISON:
You're tall.
That one‐‐ "Carla Summer."
(Agent 355 groans)
Is that from the crash?
No.
Some of my, uh, research
is... controversial.
And sometimes, I'm the only
willing participant.
You did that to yourself?
Uh‐huh.
(laughs)
What's wrong with your clothes?
Oh, they smell like road sweat.
‐That shit doesn't wash out.
‐Hmm.
I'm going back
to check on Dominique.
Seriously?
Tall? Grumpy?
Not as grumpy as you.
She sounds great.
‐Mm. She hates us.
‐Mm.
Thought
I'd put in some face time,
assess the threat level.
(soft chuckle)
Well, you need backup?
You'd scare her off.
Also, there's an outside chance
I'll get laid.
No, no, no, no, don't do that.
I fuck who I want, okay?
‐Well, I didn't say...
‐No, it was right there.
You think you're a good liar,
but you're not.
It wouldn't kill you
to be less judgmental.
‐She was a getaway driver.
‐(laughs airily)
It's not like she killed anyone.
What's up with you?
(Agent 355 laughs airily)
That one.
Mm.
‐You like?
‐Mm.
‐Great.
‐Huh? Ah.
FRAN:
Pull yourself together.
They are watching us.
(sobbing)
Shit.
(crying)
(whimpering)
(Agent 355 panting)
You...
did everything
you were supposed to do.
(laughing)
You...
were brilliant!
Most never make it past
screening, let alone training.
The ones that do
are exceptional.
None of them comes close to you.
You are better than this!
(exhales, inhales)
They tell you,
"Work hard, follow the rules,
you can make something
of yourself."
That's not how it works.
You never had a real chance.
It is important
to see the world as it is.
This is your leg up in a world
that isn't built for you.
You earned your place here.

CYNTHIA:
Old guy traded it.
His name is in there,
his address.
‐Good. That's a start.
‐A start for what?
We're gonna track down
the men who survived.
Wipe 'em out. There's hundreds.
They've been spotted all over.
This is proof.
Tha‐That's a waste of time.
Uh, we need a place
to live, supplies.
Small ball, Nora.
You think small.
None of this is real.
I mean, what the fuck?
Know what your problem is, Nora?
Vision. Got no vision.
This isn't a game for me.
Men ruined my life.
Every last one
of them deserves to die.
As long as they're out there,
world can't change.
‐I'm trying to help you.
‐No.
You're sad and you're scared,

Are you stupid or something?!

Goddamn it!

in a market near Boston.
I know what I fucking saw.
His bodyguard shot my sister
in the leg, okay?
She can't walk. Hey, other
people have seen him, too,
not just me! He's nearby.
A town with electricity.
Electricity? How?
Been there?
I've heard stories.
It's not far.
I'm right on his heels.

You're right.
We should do it.
The men. This one first.
Enough with the apologies, Nora.
No, you're right.
About me.
I am scared.
It's holding me back.
Why him?
He's nearby.
Town with food, electricity,
everything we need.
At least that's the story.
If it's true...
He wears a gas mask,
travels with a bodyguard.
People remember him.
He can't hide.
Not from us.

‐Go, go, go, go.
Sway me.
