Dude, look, I'm sorry
to leave you 'cause
TV: quarantine zone
I know you're struggling and shit
but my parents
are next level freaking and
I guess I gotta wait out
the lockdown at their place.
No, it's cool.
- Yeah, I'll probably do the same.
- TV: Mayor Ken Dillisch
I left a little nug for you.
TV: Cypress continue to
assure the public
Hope it helps.
TV: is doing everything possible
It's okay. [sighs]
TV: Meanwhile, we can confirm
that the CDC
has entered Wisconsin
and is working with local authorities
[door opens, closes] to help coordinate.
FEMALE ON TV: Sheriff,
with the town now quarantined
and residents under lockdown,
what does this move say
about how scared
Wausau residents should be?
- [tense score]
- SHERIFF: Uh, Jesus, May.
We're doing the best we can
with what we know.
What we need now
is for people to stay calm,
stay home and let us do our job.
But these revived people
are out there, Sheriff.
What are we to do if we see one?
Well, that's a good question.
If anyone out there suspects anyone
of being one of these revivers,
they should report their whereabouts
immediately to the authorities.
Don't take any chances.
- FEMALE ON TV: Chances.
- Is there a reason
for us to be scared of revivers?
Look, we're not trying
to panic anyone here.
It's just smart to take precautions.
But, sir, can we at least confirm
how many documented cases there are.
I mean, why all of the red tape?
- Jesus Christ, May
- [Em groans]
we're doing the best we can
with what we know.
Well, it appears you know
very little, sir.
The town is panicking
and we need answers.
- That's not fair.
- May, I'm trying here.
I assure you that as soon as
I have anything substantial,
you'll be the first to know.
Now, I'm sorry, but that's all
I have to say for now.
- Okay?
- Sir, please.
Just answer this:
[Em breathes shakily]
Are we safe?

[metallic ringing]
[buzzing whoosh]
[theme transitions to tense score]
[loud clanging]
[Em breathes hard, erratically]
Em, are you okay?
Yeah. [sobs]
Yeah, I'm good.
- I don't understand.
- You
You're dead? You died?
No one can know.
But what happened? How did?
- [police radio squawks]
- DISPATCH: Car 17 in pursuit.
- Dana, you there?
- Oh. Shit. Okay.
[Em pants]
Listen. Listen, no, no, no, no.
Listen, you didn't do this.
I did. You understand?
- [police sirens approaching]
- Okay, Em, look at me.
Em?
You, you and I have to be
on the same page
- 'cause they're coming, okay?
- [police radio squawks]
- DISPATCH: Dana, come in.
- DANA: Okay, wait. Put this on.
- Officer Cypress unresponsive.
- DANA: Put this on. Quick.
[Em cries]
- What do I say?
- You say that you
RADIO COP: I've got eyes
on her location.
You were outside and you heard gunshots.
And you ran inside
but everything was already done.
You didn't touch her I did.
Okay?
She went crazy. She killed her
Mountain Bay County Police!
She tried to kill me, but I cut her.
- Just me and you can know.
- Promise?
- Yes, yes, yes!
- MALE COP: Dana! You okay?
- Yeah, it's good.
- We're good! It's okay!
It's all right. It's all right.
- Holy smokes.
- Are you okay? Wha
Her.
The old lady?
- Yeah.

She's stronger than she looks.
But we're okay.

MAN: Looking for these?
[score abates]
Oh. Thanks.
You're welcome.
[animal chirring]
[disquieting score]
What's your name, son?
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.
Fair enough.
And I'm guessing
you're also not supposed to be
in the woods alone.
Sorry. I got lost.
Oh, don't be.
Why don't you run along this way
and be found?
[score abates]
- [bird calling]
- Cooper!
- Papa!
- Dude!
Oh my God! Are you nuts?!
I told you to stay put!
Your mother didn't teach you
not to run off like that?
Did you hear it?
Hear what?

[score abates]
[ethereal echoing score]

PARAMEDIC: Ma'am? Ma'am?
She's having a panic attack.
Get her out of here.
How am I supposed to explain
how an 80-year-old woman
ended up with a scalped head?
She was a hell of a lot more
than just some old woman.
- God, what a mess.
- [ambulance siren blares]
We got to keep the press
out of this as much as we can.
- Okay.
- I don't even want to know
what my dad's gonna do.
This all needs to die with her.
[dramatic score]
You talk to Dittman,
assuming he wakes up,
and I'll get Em on board.
- Yeah.
- Where is Em?
Isn't that Em?
Oh, shit!
[zipper scraping]
[creepy score]
[crinkling]
- [squelch]
- MALE: Oh! Ooh. Um.
[soft groan]
- Huh.
- Mm.
[clattering]
We've tested and verified
every known reviver
and, to date, not a single one has shown
any aggressive tendencies
or abnormalities,
so what is different about you?
Let's do the autopsy here.
Nobody gets inside this room, okay?
And, uh, I'm going to need
another set of hands.
- Okay.
- Got to put together a kit.
- [glove snaps]
- Okay.
Okay.

- Seems you're fit as a fiddle.
- Just a little panic attack.
You're free to go.
Thanks.
[PA tones, faint announcement]
- [metal hangers screech]
- Dude!
Ooh. I know.
Relax, okay? They don't know.
I just, I passed out, but I
- You're not okay.
- You're not fine!
What happened to you?
Okay, I'm still working on it.
But the truth is, is it's all fuzzy.
I wasn't in the best place
and I just, I can't remember.
Why didn't you come to me?
I mean, you can't just die
and not tell me.
I will tell you
everything I can remember.
- Can we just get out of here?
- Emmy!
Martha! Tell me you're okay.
She's good. She's fine.
- Let me look at you.
- Are you sure?
They said you came by ambulance!
- I'm fine.
- Just a panic attack, seriously.
- She's seriously fine.
- Didn't we talk about
- What were you thinking?
- Taking your sister
- to a crime scene?
- Okay.
I raised you with more sense than that.
Uh, let me explain what happened.
- [argument continues faintly]
- How was your day?
Well, I got lost in the woods.
WAYNE: for a reason, Dana.
- Is that so?
- I'm just so tired.
- It's okay.
- They'll stop soon.
DANA: I don't think I'm above protocol.
- I know.
- DANA: Also, I was rethink
Bottom line is I don't care!
If you had any inkling
this situation was dangerous.
She's not like us! You know that!
- Sir, ma'am, if you could
- Not now!
- Please! Really! You know?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Em.
- Let go!
- What are you doing?
You can't grab her like that!
How can you be so careless?
Careless, Dad? Are you
not the one who lost Coop today?
- What?
- What happened with Cooper?
Nothing. Cooper's fine.
- And I'm fine! Okay?
- [quiet tender score]
I don't need your help,
your protection, your advice,
your pity none of it. I'm done.
- Martha, honey.
- No!
No, please, I want to be left alone.
- But you
- No!
I will figure it out on my own.
- Okay, well, thanks a lot, Dad.
- That was your fault.
- My fault?
- Is that what happened to you?
Yeah, but we're not
unpacking all that right now.
- Now tell me what happened
- I don't even
- Sheriff, we need to talk.
- Rogers.
Listen, I need you to monitor
who's coming and going.
I want to keep a tight lid
on this whole mess, all right?
- Nobody talks to the press.
- Yes, sir.
All right?
Get Cooper home. Okay?
We'll talk about this later.
- Yeah.
- Yes?
Uh, yeah, this way.
Okay, what happened today with Papa?
I met a man in the woods.
You what? [sighs]
I'm gonna to shove his protocol
right up his ass!
- Mom, language.
- Ma'am, you need to leave.
- You can't be here.
- Can I just have one minute?
- Okay, look, you know what?
- I'll take care of her.
I know her, so, um,
can you take Coop up to the cafeteria
and get him, like,
some pudding cups, or something?
- Sure thing.
- Okay, thanks.
I'll see you up there, bud.
[tense score]
[Dana sighs softly]
You want to tell me
what actually happened
in that barn?
- [deep sigh]
- IBRAHIM: That's the thing.
Strength has as much to do with
the nervous system
as muscle mass and without
the proper pain response the
- [dramatic boom]
- Where's the guard?
Um
Uh
- [panicked breaths]
- [score intensifies]
Jesus Christ.
I need everyone to the first floor!
Everyone to the first floor.
Suspect is on the loose.
- It's Arlene. She's alive.
- [dramatic score]
The real joke is
your department thinking
that it can just sweep
all of this under the rug.
Again. Tell me the truth.
- All right.
- Well, I'll tell you what:
you keep thinking
that you are living
in an episode of The Wire
- and the rest of us will just
- [alarm blares]
- keep up.
- MAN ON PA: Code red.
Emergency department.
First floor.
Code red. Emergency department.
First floor.
- REPORTER: Literally.
- Running with scissors.
DANA: Hey, stay!
(whispers) Jesus Christ.
[emergency buzzer continues blaring]
[score intensifies]
- [old woman groaning]
- Oh my God.
- REPORTER: What's going on?
- Ahhh!
Oh, shit.
- What the hell is happening?
- I've got to get Cooper.
- Go!
- WAYNE: Dana!
- Dad.
- What are you doing here?
- Where's Cooper?
- He'll be safe.
- But, Dad, be careful.
- Just get out of here!
Dad, you can't stop her!
[dramatic score]
- Go! Get out of here.
- I'm going.
[alarm continues blaring]
WAYNE: Troy, check him.
[unintelligible voice

[score intensifies]
[score abates]
WOMAN: My Terry.
- My sweet baby.
- Shh.
[reviver chuckles]
[baby cooing]
Shh. There, there.
[reviver cooing]
- [reviver gasps, growls]
- [baby cries]
- Come on!
- Arlene, put the baby down!
[baby crying] Oh, shit.
[emergency buzzer blaring]
[exciting score]
Where did she go?
There!
[score abates]
Where the hell is she?
(whispers) Let's spread out. Stay quiet.
[distant car alarm echoes]
[baby cooing]
[tense score]
[baby cries]
[baby cries]
Put your hands up and turn around.
Put your hands in the air!
[baby continues crying]
What the hell
are you doing here, Blaine?
- (softly) Oh.
- [baby fusses]
Where did you get the baby?
Where's Arlene?
Behold.
And I have given you permission
to tread on the serpents
and the scorpions.
The gates of Hell have opened.
- [dramatic boom]
- [score intensifies, fades out]
?
What's going to happen
when people find out that
there's a super-strong reviver
running around stealing babies
and throwing nurses through walls?
Oh, Wayne.
I can't police something
that can't be killed!
- Not doing it.
- Look, look. First off
we don't really have a proud history of
handling people that are different.
But, that being said, Mayor,
you didn't see her.
This was different, so, you know,
perhaps until we know
what we're fully dealing with
all options should remain viable.
- See?
- Even the bleeding-heart liberal
agrees with me. We need to lock them up!
- Oh, no, no, no.
- I didn't say that. I
Okay, I want to help. I do.
You've been complaining about
a lack of resources
this whole time. What do you think
it's gonna take to set up your camp?
And if Arlene's as scary
as y'all say she is,
I suggest that you take
what little resources you have
and you find her.
You do that and then we'll talk.
- [frustrated sigh]
- [quiet tense score]
- [door opens]
- [distant office phone ringing]
- [door closes]
- DANA: Em?
You here? We need to talk.
[knocks]
[door handle rattles]
[hinges squeak]
Shit.
- [dramatic boom]
- [score intensifies]
[photo hits papers]
What do you think you're doing?
[score fades out]
What the hell is this?
This is your idea of leaving me alone?
- Hey!
- Cut me some slack here, man!
One minute we're talking about
us going to the beach
and then the next I watch you die!
But then you're alive
because you had already died.
And you don't know how you died
and now I find out you're using again
and when Dad finds out you're dead.
- Is there a question there?
- Seven thousand questions.
But let's start with this:
What the hell!
I thought you were doing better.
Yeah, I I was.
And then our accident happened
and that new
instant release shit is hardcore
- so it, just, it got bad.
- [quiet tense score]
- Are you still on them?
- No.
When I woke up it stopped working. I
[sighs] I sometimes still think
that I need it,
but it doesn't have
the same effect on me anymore
so I'm clean. [hums happily]
There's like a thousand pills in here.
How did you even get all this?
- The shady pain clinic.
- If you have the money,
- they don't really care.
- How did you get the money?
Em, isn't this all kind of connected?
The drugs, the
- What happened to you could
- No, I did not overdose.
- Didn't you?
- Like, I saw, like
Like, I just saw your den of doom
and it's kind of, I'm vibing, like,
- mental health crisis.
- Because ever since I revived
I just can't, I can't sleep anymore.
[Em sighs deeply]
Oh, God, you're emo.
Okay, how about you tell me
Something? Anything.
- [grating discordant score]
- So, I, uh
I went to the bridge on Mom's birthday
- because I just, I
- [Dana sighs]
I'm working through some stuff
and a friend said
it would be a really good idea
to get some closure there
and it just, it got
a lot and I got really anxious,
so, yes, I got high and then
I woke up in Bull Falls.
- [sniffles]
- [sharp exhale]
Okay.
You skipped a bunch of details.
Help me out here.
Like, now?
- Yeah, now.
- You have somewhere else to be?
Um
- Yeah, it was, uh, nine, or
- [score intensifies]
Nine-thirty.
I think I saw, like,
a car headlight, or something.
[dramatic score]
Could it have been a hit and run?
What kind of car was it?
I don't know. A normal car?
Okay, well, did you smell anything
or hear anything, or
- Dana, please. Just stop.
- Or did you
maybe
did you hurt yourself?
You know, I've, uh
thought about that
a lot recently and, um
No, no. I wouldn't. I, uh [scoffs]
[sniffles] I couldn't.
- [phone buzzes]
- [Dana sighs]
[score fades out]
- Shit! [sighs]
- I'm missing morning briefing.
- Dad's gonna kill me.
- Mm-hm.
Well, I guess that's insensitive now.
- I can't say anything.
- Oh, Dana.
Sometimes you are just too much.
- [Em sniffles]
- Just wait, wait! Come to
[clattering] Goddamn it!
Just come to the station with me, okay?
Just come real quick.
I'll show my stupid face
and look like I'm doing my job
and then you and me,
we'll go to the bridge,
we'll go to where you woke up.
Dana.
Okay. Please. I, I
I want to find out what happened to you.
(whisper) And I can.
Okay.
Yeah, let's go get this over with.
[Em inhales deeply]
- Okay.

- WAYNE: All right, listen up!
- [door slams]
[muffled yelling]
- Great. [sighs]
- Love when he's in a good mood.
- You said this would be quick.
- WAYNE: So be careful!
I know, I just,
I'm supposed to be helping
with this Arlene insanity.
But I want to be here for you first.
[muffled yelling continues]
Give me a second.
[sighs] Okay.
Okay. Sit. Um
[office phone rings]
Grab something from the vending machine?
Uh, maybe hang out
in the break room for a bit?
I'll be quick. [inhales deeply]
Get me a chocolate bar.

- Can you tell me about these?
Where are you
picking your blueberries from?
I don't have time
for your stupid adages, McCray.
- Come on.
- [phone ringing]
[loud sigh]
Blues. Oxycodone. IRs.
I know what they are. How much
would a thousand of these cost?
Now, see the street value
of it would be
No, no. Pain clinic.
You ain't getting no G of those
- from no pain clinic.
- Well, where am I getting them?
Ooh. Stealing or dealing.
For who? From who?
- Well, who you?
- I'm not doing your job for you.
[distant loud buzzing]
[hand hitting file]
Now may I please get back
to finding the old lady?
How many drug-related offenses
do we have?

- My sister stole my car.
Is there anything I can snag?
Uh-oh. Sorry, darling,
everything's gone.
On account of the manhunt for Arlene.
Could I borrow yours?
Uh, no. Lester dropped me off.
Oh, you could do
so much better than him.
Well, Lester's a man of hidden talents.
Shh!
- What about McCray?
- Or your dad, hm?
Whose is the little hybrid out front?
That's Dr. Ramin's.
[score intensifies]
[soft tender score]
[brush scraping lightly]
You look beautiful.
[sighs]
Are you sure you're up for this?
we don't have to go.
No.

TV: Safety continues to be a concern
as the suspect is still on the loose.
Authorities have yet
to determine a motive
for the 82-year-old woman's
violent outburst.
WOMAN 1: Nobody's doing anything!
WOMAN 2: I don't care
if they used to be good people.
Em.
You okay, dear?
Yeah, I'm fine, Nella.
[billiard balls clack]
Shouldn't we be searching for Arlene
instead of, uh, your car?
Shouldn't you be looking in a microscope
at a imbiba nucleus?
[chuckles]
I don't even think you know
what you're saying.
- It's a tiny record store.
- Oh.
And, anyway,
we're not looking for a car.
We're looking for my sister in the car.
Okay, and why, exactly,
would your sister commandeer your car?
- She's acting out, that's all.
- All right? She's young.
She's had a sheltered life,
sheltered childhood.
She never got to mess around,
be a real teenager, you know?
- Make mistakes.
- Hm.
Hell, I don't think she's
ever even had a boyfriend.
[scoffs]

[billiard balls clack]
Aaron.
Em, what in God's name are you doing?
- My wife is right there!
- What am I doing?
You haven't answered any of my texts,
calls or emails for the last month.
I practically had to corner you
in your office
to get you to agree to meet me
and you ghost me!
Well, Em, what do you expect me to do?
We agreed to end this. You know that!
You think this is how
to get back together with me?
- Jesus Christ, Aaron.
- You are so full of yourself.
I don't wanna get back together.
Stop dodging me!
I want answers
of what happened near the falls!
The falls? What? I
I don't know what you
[dramatic score]
- A ring?
- Your ring!
Look, something happened to me
that night at Bull Falls.
I woke up and I threw this up,
so now you get to explain to me
how the hell your wedding ring
came out of my mouth?
Wait. First, that's not mine.
Second, I have no idea
what any of this is about.
If you've been trying to reach me
I haven't gotten anything from you
since December 18th.
I had to block you. You kept texting
and calling that night
and it felt like you were
hell-bent on exposing us
and I couldn't risk it.
So I blocked your number
and email. I had no choice!
What? Shit.
And I'm sorry.
Perhaps instead of you
throwing up a ring maybe
you thought you saw something
and found a ring
that had been left there.
People go to those falls often,
Em.
(whisper) Shit.
- [splutters] I don't know.
- I don't-
I don't remember sending any
of those texts or calls.
I was really emotional
and I got high and I thought
you'd be the one to tell me
what happened that night.
I thought you'd tell me
what happened to me.
- [tense score]
- To you?
Wait, Em, did you
Mm.
(whispers) You died.
You're a reviver.
[score abates] Holy shit!
I had no idea.
[score intensifies]
And then
Oh, no, that night
those texts were scary
and I knew you were struggling,
but I, I
I had no idea you took this so hard.
I've heard this before.
You think I killed myself?
I'm sorry, but isn't that
kind of what you're saying?
But, hey, look, look. You're okay now.
That's the good news, right?
Like, you get a second chance.
And look at you. You look great.
- Don't, please.
- I don't want to hear this.
Not right now. [sniffles]
Do me a favor and don't tell
anyone about me, okay?
Sure. Yeah. And Em
- I'm so sorry.
- [score intensifies]
[score intensifies
[score fades out]
ied about her.
She's going through some stuff.
And, you know, it doesn't help that
that Revival Day [sighs]
was also our mom's birthday.
Our, our late mom's birthday.
I never get used to saying that.
I'm sorry to hear that, Dana.
[he exhales softly]
How long ago did that happen?
If you don't mind, uh,
if you want to talk
about it, you don't
Two years.
It was an accident.
Em and I were both in the car,
but Em was driving.
That's awful. Uh
Losing a parent is very hard,
uh, and I can't imagine,
considering the circumstances,
[tender score]
how traumatic that experience
would have been for both of you.
- Yeah. Thanks.
- So, I'm sorry.
This is what happens
when we live all like
there's nothing wrong with zombies.
We're losing our damn way and for what?
- God chose them to die.
- [score intensifies]
DANA: Em was always pretty isolated
because of her condition, so it was just
always kind of
tough, but then, after the accident
and all the brutal rehab
I don't think she's ever
fully dealt with any of it.
- [Em yells]
- Ah!
What the?
You bitch.
- [grunts]
- [Em grunts, groans]
IBRAHIM: You said her condition?
- [Em groans]
- DANA: Yeah.
She has a disease
where her bones break easily.
[bones cracking]
Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
- Yeah. That's the one.
- Yeah?
- Not many people know it.
- Type 1. Type 1.
- It's Type 1.
- O-I.
That's still pretty debilitating,
so I understand when you say
that she is acting out.
That makes sense, and I,
for one, would have
- a ton of pent-up frustration
- [bones cracking]
IBRAHIM: and always
be looking for an outlet.
- [heavy breathing]
- [neck cracks]
That all you got?
- [woman grunts]
- [glass breaking]
[tense score]
DANA: She had it tough.
She was on a first-name basis
with her doctors and nurses
by the time she was ten.
- Ooh.
- [thud]
- [hard impact]
- [echoing groan]
But, you know
no matter what, she always
was able to find levity
in the strangest situations.
- [squelch]
- [shout]
IBRAHIM: It sounds like her superpower.
How she copes to get through
or push through.
- Dana: Hm.
- [squelch]
Even with how weak she was, she made it.
- Yeah.
- [rhythmic pensive score]
She, uh, sounds pretty
strong actually, Dana.
[patrons murmuring]
Oh, shit. Get out of the way!
- [Em groans]
- Here. I got you.
- [Em's bones crack]
- HELPFUL GUY: Sorry
NELLA: Em! Em!
I'm okay. I'm good!
[score ends]
FIGHTER: She broke my damn nose.
[phone buzzing]
- [tense score]
- [phone rattles]
Nella?
Em did what where?
Where did she go?
- [lighter rasps]
- [tobacco crackles]
[score ends]
So, what's your story, dead girl?
[distant dog barking]
Cuts. I saw them heal.
Don't worry. Nobody else saw.
- [bird calling]
- [distant traffic]
Name's Rhodey.
Em.
[bird calling]
You know we can heal?
And a whole lot more than
a couple of cuts
and broken bones.
But I tend to save
the bigger stuff for my show.
Speaking of, our first show
since lockdown's Saturday.
- This place called The Shed.
- [paper crinkling]
You should come.
[distant dog barking]
- You're a reviver?
- [gentle score]
I prefer musician first,
but it's not so bad.
Hell of a lot better
than I was a month ago.
[phone buzzing]
[score intensifies]
So
I, uh, kind of need to
avoid the cops for a variety
of reasons right now.
Do you think you could
get me out of here?
Yeah. I got you.
Cool.
I'll just be right back.

I just left her some pot to help

What do you mean a quick fix?
What? What? What did you do?
No, no. It's what she did!
Look, I heard you guys talking.
I know Em is a reviver.
And I knew I shouldn't have
taken her there. Shit!

If you got her something and she OD'd
she's not the only one who will be dead.

No, no, wait! Lady, stop.
