Graceland
1
["Are You Lonesome Tonight?" playing]
[tour guide]
used to stand here all day,
just hoping for a glimpse of Elvis.
But today, we get to go inside
and see how the king lived.
In 1957, a 22-year-old Elvis Presley
gave his parents $100,000
and charged them with finding
a farmhouse-like property
with enough space around it
to ensure his privacy.
Three months later,
Elvis's parents found Graceland.
To a bright summer day ♪
When I kissed you and called you ♪
Welcome to the iconic Jungle Room.
Hey, did you hear the news
that a bus full of Elvis impersonators
actually crashed on their way
to an Elvis convention?
Shall I come back again? ♪
He'd sometimes spend weeks on end
here in the TV room.
Elvis also spent a lot of time
in his bedroom upstairs.
But unfortunately,
there are still areas of the house
that are off-limits except to family.
So, unless you're
Priscilla in disguise
[tour guide chuckles]
[song concludes]
[door creaking open]
[TV playing in background]
- [Mom] You get my Pringles?
- Yeah, I got 'em.
Hmm. They change anything on the tour?
They changed the Jungle Room joke.
[Mom sighs]
- [TV playing faintly]
- [pills rattling]
Here, take 'em with food, please.
Oh. [scoffs]
You. I asked for sour cream and onion.
Yeah, well, I like salt and vinegar.
Guess you do.
Need anything else?
Annie, what was the new joke, huh?
[sighs]
A group of Elvis impersonators crashed.
- Mm-hmm.
- They were all shook up.
[laughing]
I'll see you later.
Don't forget your pills.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[gentle music playing]
[door creaking open]
Mom, I'm back.
[door closes]
Mom?
[TV playing faintly]
Are you awake?
Mom?
Mom!
She was the first in her family
to step foot outside the county,
attending the University of Tennessee,
and later, Duke Medical School.
Sadly, her mental health
caused her to retreat
from her once-promising path
[gentle music playing]
- [patient coughing]
- Um, just, um
patient's had a persistent cough
since April.
Um, no history of, um, smoking
or any lung issues.
Patient's likely, um
I think I'd I'd r-recommend
- that he, um
- [clearing throat]
Oh, I see here that the patient
is on ACE inhibitors
for hypertension,
which can cause a dry cough.
Let's talk to your team
about switching meds.
[teacher] That's right.
Annie, why don't you take the next one?
[softly] Okay.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Uh, my name is Annie Clay.
I'm a third-year medical student
working with Dr. Talcott today.
- [patient] Okay.
- What seems to be the problem?
Yeah, I have this intense pain
in my lower leg,
uh, like a cramp, but much, much worse.
Is this due to any trauma,
like a physical injury?
- Do you mind if I
- No. Yeah. Oh.
Um, no, I, uh, uh, was at work,
and, um, I was sitting at my desk,
and all of a sudden, it just
- Yeah.
- [clearing throat] Um
Uh, I
I'm gonna recommend, um
It I w-we should get you tested
for deep vein thrombosis.
It's, um, if you might be at risk
if you're sedentary
for long periods of time.
And, um [wincing]
we could get you an ultrasound
and put you on
- [Dr. Talcott] Annie? Annie!
- [items clattering]
- Someone get a gurney.
- anticoagulants.
[Dr. Talcott] Pinch
your breath. Lie down.
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
- [Dr. Talcott] Okay.
[sighs deeply]
[security] Excuse me?
[sniffling]
Hello?
Ma'am? Excuse me?
[Annie sighing, sniffling]
Sorry, but, uh, we not having
any more visitors today.
Okay Okay.
I'm Gayle Edwards.
I'm Graceland Security.
- [sniffling]
- You can't park here.
Okay. Okay.
- You okay, kid?
- No, I'm not.
No, I, uh
[sighs]
[sniffling]
I just dropped out of medical school.
I have no family and no job,
and I don't know what I'm gonna do,
and I don't even know why I'm here.
I just drove here, and I [sighs]
I will move my car.
[car starting]
You know what?
The old-ass tour guides here
keep droppin' dead.
[scoffs]
You know anything about Elvis?
[exhales sharply]
Too much.
[sniffling]
Why?
Alright, welcome.
In 1957, Elvis Presley
gave his parents $100,000
to find him a farmhouse-like property
with enough space around it
to ensure his privacy.
To protect the privacy of his home,
Elvis installed a security wall
as well as a two-way mirror
at the top of his stairs
so he could see who was in his house.
To this day, the upper levels
remain off-limits.
And did you hear about the bus
of Elvis impersonators
that actually crashed on its way
to an Elvis convention?
No? Well, luckily, no one was injured,
but we did hear they were all shook up.
- [tourists laughing]
- [chuckles] Alright.
We're not gonna get in trouble?
No, no, nobody knows.
Isn't it beautiful?
Wow.
It's like my Graceland paradise.
You know, I bet we could see
parts of the river from here.
- For real?
- Mm-hmm. Let me adjust the latitude.
Oh, yep, there. And parts of Arkansas.
Look.
["Memphis, Tennessee"
by Wanda Jackson playing]
Wow. How'd you get so smart, kid?
[clicking tongue] Man!
- [horses nickering]
- Hi, guys.
[whispers] You're my favorite,
but don't tell any of them.
That's between you and me, okay?
- [horse smacking lips]
- Oh!
[smacking lips]
Regardless of whose home
Graceland actually was,
it's the place that Elvis Presley
felt the safest in the world.
[reporters speaking indistinctly
over phones]
[Gayle Edwards] Annie!
What is going on? Ev Why
- Have you seen the news?
- No.
[reporter] [over phone]
three hours ago,
what scientists are calling
a massive mega caldera,
- or super volcano
- [tourist 1] I said we're leaving.
I don't give a fuck
about getting a refund.
[tourist 2]
No, I know. You're right, I'm sorry.
- [person 1] [in video] What is that?
- [reporters continue speaking over phones]
Oh, my God! Get away from the edge!
Get away from the edge!
Get away from the edge!
[person 2] I would say
we played a fucking role
[person 3] America, I know you're
aware of the situation we now face
[dramatic music playing]
Gayle, look at me.
You need to go across the street
to the visitor center
and get everything you can.
Clothing, candles, food that
doesn't need to be refrigerated.
- Whatever you can carry.
- Okay, are you serious right now?
- Yes!
- I mean, where am I supposed
- to put all that?
- The basement, the TV room.
- Okay. Okay, okay. Move, move, move!
- Go. Go, go, go.
[expert] [over phone]
You're not thinking about this correctly.
- It's not a wave
- [president] I'm telling you this
so that you can make decisions
based on where you wanna be right now
and who you wanna be with.
This position that I have held,
I didn't always want it.
Most certainly didn't always like it.
But it has it's provided me access
to people all over this country.
And one thing
has constantly struck me as true.
That despite all the ugliness
in our world
despite our tendency
to focus on the grotesque
and the conflict, despite all of that
you you are inherently decent.
[Annie grunting]
[gasps] Oh, Jesus!
Okay, I got a shit ton of stuff
from the restaurant.
- Can you help me unload the cart?
- Take that.
- Uh, okay.
- Okay. I'll go get everything.
Ooh. [grunting]
- Careful, careful.
- Ooh, this is killing my back.
[exhales] Okay. You can do this, Gayle.
[breathing heavily]
[loud rumbling]
- [loud boom, crashing]
- Oh!
[alarm ringing]
- [loud crashing]
- Ahh!
- [glass shattering]
- Oh, shit! Oh, God.
[horses whinnying]
[Annie breathing heavily]
Oh, you guys. I'm so sorry,
but it's not safe here for you anymore.
- Go. Go.
- [horse neighing]
Go!
[birds squawking]
[squawking continues]
♪♪
- [siren wailing]
- [car honking]
[tires screeching]
[Gayle] Annie.
[birds squawking]
Holy shit.
We don't have much time.
[reporter] [over phone]
If you are in a metropolitan area,
get to a fallout shelter
or [distorted] underground as you can.
[phone glitching]
[electricity buzzing]
[Annie] Oh, my God, come on.
[lights shattering]
[panicked breathing]
- [electricity powering down]
- [Gayle exclaiming]
- [Annie] Gayle!
- [Gayle exclaiming]
Gayle!
[Gayle] Ah! [wincing] Mm!
- Ooh. Mm-mm.
- [Annie clearing throat]
[Annie]
How's the how's the leg this morning?
- [Gayle] Not good.
- [Annie] 'Kay, scale of one to 10,
- how's the pain?
- Seventy-four.
[Gayle groaning]
- Alright, I'll check it.
- [Gayle groaning]
[whispering] Let me see.
- [Annie sucking air]
- [Gayle whimpering]
So, even though I reset the bone,
we need to
- Yeah, I'm concerned about the infection.
- [flashlight clicking]
We need to keep the wound
and the stitches clean.
Why are the batteries still not working?
[clicking]
I don't know.
- You supposed to be the smart one.
- [sighs]
I'm the hot one. Oh!
- Breathe. Take a deep breath.
- [groaning]
I'm the hot one. You're the smart one.
[Gayle sighs]
We should go up on the roof.
- Mm.
- See what's happening.
- No, we can't expose ourselves.
- No.
I'm pretty sure, had there
been a nuclear explosion,
we would've heard it.
[Gayle grunting softly]
[dramatic music playing]
[exhales sharply]
[people shouting]
[gasps]
- [gunshot]
- [woman screaming]
- [gunshots]
- [gasps]
[distant explosion]
- [booming, rumbling]
- Oh!
Bomb?
No, I don't think so.
I think it's a chemical plant.
You know, if you just leave 'em
sitting there, they
- Boom.
- Yeah.
[Gayle] Mm.
[Gayle clearing throat]
- Hi.
- [Gayle groaning]
- How you feeling?
- Oh.
I've been better, kid.
- [Gayle straining softly]
- [whispering] Let me help you.
- There you go.
- [sighs] Thank you.
- [Gayle sighs]
- [Annie clearing throat]
- [squelching]
- Oh.
Hey, it it looks a
lot worse than it is.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Trust me, it just
it just needs some time.
Mm.
- [sniffling]
- You know, I've, um,
I went searching through the house
and I found something
that I think might cheer you up.
I don't know if you're ready.
Oh! [snickering]
[both laughing]
- [coughing]
- [both continue laughing]
[imitating Elvis] Are you lookin' at me?
You be lookin' at me?
[laughing] What? You did him so corny.
[imitating Elvis]
Thank you. Thank you very much.
[laughter continues]
[Gayle breathing heavily]
[exhaling sharply, grunting]
[Annie] [whispering] Fuck.
[Gayle] Can I ask you a question?
Mm-hmm.
If it's summer,
why is it fucking freezing?
Looks like the ash cloud's
blotting out the sun.
For how long?
[exhales sharply] I don't know.
I don't know.
[Gayle] Annie? [shivering]
[Annie] I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
[Gayle] We have have to build a fire.
[Annie] We can't.
The smoke will draw too much attention.
There are no more of his fur coats
or capes for us to wear.
[Gayle shivering]
Don't waste that stuff on me.
You think I'm trying to keep you warm?
This is for both of us.
It's gonna be okay.
[Gayle continues shivering]
[Gayle breathing shallowly]
[weakly] Annie.
- Hm?
- Annie.
Yeah?
I think what you did worked.
I'm I'm not cold anymore.
You did it.
You saved me.
How'd you get so smart, kid?
[whispering] My mom was the smart one.
She's she's watching you.
And she's so proud of you.
[whispering] You're doing so good, Gayle.
You're doing so good.

[motorcycle rumbling]
Shit.
[vehicles continue rumbling]
[breathing heavily]
[banging]
[person 1] Open can of beans, fresh.
Someone's here.
[person 2] Dining room's clear.
[person 3] A lot of rooms back here.
[whispering] Oh, my God.
[Annie panting]
[whispering] Okay.
[door opens]
[person 3] This room's clear too!
[person in room] Looks like they jumped
out the balcony.
[person 2] Not here either.
[shouting] No!
I'm not alone! There's others here.
- And they're armed!
- Hey! Hey!
[Annie panting]
[breathing heavily]
How we looking down there, boys?
- [person 3] One set of utensils, one bed.
- Hey!
- [person 3] She's alone.
- [person 4] Mm-hm.
Okay.
Now, can we please start over?
[spitting]
Okay. Where are the cars?
Stop.
Stop.
[sighs]
Elvis had a shit ton of cars
and we wanna see 'em.
I I don't I don't know.
I don't know where they are.
Um, we had some here.
The others were across the street
in the exhibit hall,
but I haven't been there in years.
I don't
[person in room] You too.
[grunting]
They call me Link.
We'll do intros later.
Come here, sit.
It's, um, a peace
offering. You look cold.
How'd you get to Graceland?
I was a tour guide here
when it all happened.
You've been here alone the entire time?
[sighs]
Looks like you never built a fire.
I didn't want anyone to see the smoke.
I didn't want anyone to know I was here.
Smart.
[coat buttons popping]
- Well
- [coat unzipping]
I absolutely love
what you've done with the place.
[sighs]
It must have been hard
being here on your own.
I've been alone before.
Must have been hard all the same.
[piano glissing]
[begins playing "Fur Elise"]
I really must insist
we get this thing tune
- [thud]
- [piano keys smashing]
Fuck. [groaning] Jesus Christ.
[grunting]
[dramatic music playing]
- [banging]
- [Link] Fuck! Oh!
- I wasn't gonna hurt you, okay?
- [banging]
- [person] Enough for all of us.
- [faint indistinct chatter]
[groaning softly]
[faint sizzling]
[sighs]
[Link] Yeah, Geiger, next time,
pick a smaller boar to kill.
[Geiger] Hey, man, you guys said get
enough for everybody, so I don't know.
[sizzling]
[sighs]
[Geiger] I'm gonna give it
to you straight, but I want you
to keep an open mind about it.
This is the deal, alright?
We jack a sailboat.
- [person 1] Already a bad start.
- [person 2] Terrible start.
No, just hear me out!
- [Link clearing throat]
- [chattering stops]
- Chef's making bacon.
- Wild boar.
Still qualifies. Sit.
Little appetizer.
You were in that room for three days.
Eat. Drink.
Alright? You can relax.
We're not the bad guys.
Though I will admit
to not being my best self
since the grade-two concussion
you gave the best piano player
this place has seen in years.
[chuckles]
[clearing throat]
So, the good news, after three years,
things are better out there
than you think.
I asked you your name before,
but you spat on me.
- Twice.
- Yes, twice. Thank you, Geiger.
This is Geiger. He's great at counting.
You got a name?
Annie.
- Annie, my name is
- [Annie] Link.
Yeah, you said.
Hm. Left a mark.
A little about me, since I don't
exactly have Instagram anymore,
when the shit hit the fan,
I was living in Louisville.
Dropped out of college, got a job at REI,
and I heard the words "super volcano"
and "ash cloud" on the news,
and I grabbed as much
North Face swag as I possibly could.
Everyone else was making a run,
you know, for guns
and for toilet paper, while I was shoving
Antarctic-rated sleeping bags
in my Ford Focus.
Saved my life.
No, I saved your life.
It's my story, Geiger.
Can I tell it for once?
I'm just asking for a little fidelity
to the truth, partner.
I mean, when I found you,
you were in a sleeping bag
crying like a toddler.
- [Link] Mm.
- [Geiger] So, let's not make it out
like you were Richard Hatch or something.
- Richard Hatch is
- Yeah, I know.
- He won the first season of Survivor.
- [Chef] Oh.
[Geiger] Nice.
Anyway, Geiger here fed me.
Not because he loved me instantly,
but because he needed
another set of hands.
Go ahead.
We tell this story a lot.
This is his part.
I was recruiting a crew to go around
and safely shut down
all the nuclear power plants.
There's 94 in the country.
All of them are just meltdowns
waiting to happen if they're abandoned.
- And that's job one.
- [Link] Yeah.
We've been everywhere
this side of Mississippi
that isn't underwater.
So, how much do you know
about what happened?
Best we can
Actually, well, this is Urkel's section.
- We call him we call him Urkel because
- If she knew Richard Hatch,
- I'm guessing she can crack Urkel.
- [Chef chuckles]
[Urkel] Thanks. Best we can tell,
volcanic eruption
didn't just create a tsunami
that flooded the coastal areas.
It was so intense, the ash cloud
went into the stratosphere
and circled the Earth,
cooling the planet by 20 degrees or more.
I have a theory
that one of the world powers
had a secret EMP device
that knocked out all electronics.
- I mean, anything with a battery
- Alright, alright, alright.
Don't let him go down the EMP road,
otherwise, you'll be praying
for another tsunami.
- Trust me.
- [softly] We'll talk.
Upshot is
it was bad. It was really fucking bad.
We believe that we lost
two-thirds of the U.S. population,
the first 40% from the tsunami
that hit the coast,
the next 27% from, I don't know,
societal collapse, starvation.
Any survivors that we meet now
are people in groups
who have figured out
how to work together,
and most importantly,
how to grow food in these conditions.
And speaking of!
Hey, Big Papi here was impressed
with your plant in the window.
Yeah. Needs more light, though.
So, you guys, where can I get
some motherfucking bacon?
- [group chuckles]
- [Chef] Boom.
Ooh, yeah. Ah, man, I love this.
[Link] Hey.
You don't have to hide in your room.
Okay?
Hopefully, you don't mind
having a few new roommates
for the next few days.
We'll be out of your hair soon.
Spring break can't last forever.
[light music playing]
[group chattering]
[laughter and chatter continue]
[Urkel] [laughing] Holy shit!
The King does not disappoint, gentlemen.
Alright, let's see what we got.
You feeling that, that's yours.
[tools cranking]
[indistinct chatter]
Don't worry, ma'am.
We're not gonna take 'em.
Just some parts.
Cars are pretty much worthless now.
- [tools cranking]
- [Link] [wincing] Ah, fucker.
- [Gator] You alright?
- [Link] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Gator] Good?
- Yeah, yeah. It's fine.
[Geiger] The only access in here
is from the south.
I think we should stage here,
set up a perimeter.
This place is gonna be
seriously fortified.
Do we have the firepower? Yes.
Even if we get in,
how are we gonna find her?
Hey, we're just planning
our next road trip.
[Link clearing throat]
- [Link sniffling]
- Okay.
[pills rattling]
Yeah, we, uh, we all take those.
Preventative.
- Potassium iodide?
- Yeah.
You know, this is only good
for hyperthyroidism.
It doesn't help with radiation exposure.
Thanks, we know.
How long your wrist been like that?
Couple months.
You know, saving the world,
it gets rough sometimes.
[sighs] It hurts, but I can manage.
I think it's just a scaphoid fracture.
- What?
- It's a small bone near the base
of your thumb. I can reset it.
- Come here.
- Yeah? If
My hands are cold, but just
Yeah, okay.
Ye Oof. Yeah, you
have to find the bone,
and then kind of just, like,
- knock it back into place.
- [cracking]
- [Link wincing]
- Sorry, you okay?
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
- Oof.
- I'll I'll make you a splint,
but you should probably
try not to use it for the next few weeks.
Alright.
Thanks.
[wincing softly]
[hopeful music playing]
[chuckles softly]
You remember this place?
I can't wait to hear
about all your adventures. Come on.
It looks like you've been through a lot.
I missed you so much. [chuckles]
[insects chirping]
[door opens]
Sorry, I didn't know anyone was up here.
No. Uh, I hope this is okay.
I'll I'll move it back when I'm done.
Yeah.
I wondered if we'd ever see
the stars again
after that ash cloud was up there.
Do you ever see any satellites?
They look like shooting stars.
They're all starting
to fall out of the sky now.
[Annie chuckles]
[Annie grunts]
I have.
Yeah, I wondered why there were
so many shooting stars.
[Link chuckles softly]
[whispering] Satellites.
Of course.
Man, I used to fucking love telescopes.
Outer space.
Went to Florida when I was a kid.
And my sister would not stop
going on and on
about Disney World,
but I was way more hyped
on Cape Canaveral.
- You ever been?
- Mm-mm.
No? Aw, man, it was the shit.
I mean, it's not there anymore since
[whooshing] over a decade ago.
How old are you?
It's hard to keep track,
but I think I turned
25 this year?
You're 25?
- Wow.
- I mean, it's been a rough few years.
It's not easy to maintain
a skincare routine.
No, I think it's just the beard.
Well, the beard makes me
look like a leader.
The beard makes you look
like Charles Manson.
[snickering]
Okay.
That was me my freshman year of college.
[chuckles] Oh, wow. You're a baby.
- Yep.
- Cute.
- You can keep it if you want.
- [chuckles]
Thank you.
Why do they call you Link?
It's the main guy from Zelda.
[laughing]
Yeah. We seem like a bunch of bad-asses,
but we're actually just a bunch of nerds
who outlasted the popular kids.
- I kinda got that.
- [laughing]
Well, we are in fact leaving tomorrow.
We're part of this bigger group of people
going out west to try
and restart the world.
I gotta be in St. Louis by next week.
Why are you going up to St. Louis
if you're heading west?
Because you don't want to be crossing
the river into Arkansas.
It's not so bad anymore, but
there's still some bad pockets.
Like, you see right over there?
- See just across the river?
- Mm-hmm.
That's a bad pocket.
So, since it's our last night,
what are your dinner plans?
Because there's this new place
just opened up downstairs,
and they just got a new chef last week
who's just completely revamped the menu.
[Urkel] Okay? At least I look sharp.
- [Geiger speaking indistinctly]
- I look sharp, you're in a sweatshirt.
It says, "Do good," though.
All the costumes in this house,
that's what you grab.
- You guys, you're both pretty.
- [Urkel] Whoa!
- [Geiger] [whistling] Wow.
- Stop.
- [Gator clearing throat]
- [Geiger] You look nice, Annie.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
It smells great down here.
Oh, Link will be here in a minute.
- [Annie] Mm.
- She takes a while to get dressed.
[laughter]
[drinks pouring]
- [Chef] One for the lady.
- [Geiger] Oh, there she is!
Cinderella!
[group cheering]
Yeah?
- Yeah? Alright. Alright, assholes.
- [overlapping chatter]
Alright, shut the fuck up.
- Isn't she pretty?
- [Link laughing]
- [Geiger] She's so lovely.
- [Urkel] Oh, my God.
- [laughter and chatter]
- Wow.
Wow. You, uh
- You look really pretty.
- Thank you.
So, what do you think?
Uh, I
I was wrong, I I miss the beard.
[laughter]
[Geiger] Ouch.
One for the prettiest boy at the table.
[laughter]
[Link] Thank you. Alright, alright.
A big thank you to our lovely host.
Cheers.
- [all] Cheers.
- [glasses clinking]
'Kay, Annie. One thing you miss,
one thing you don't.
- Mm.
- [Annie] What?
Oh, it's a game we play
when we meet people.
So, we ask you to pick one good thing
that you miss from before
- Mm.
- and one thing that you don't.
Urkel, show her. What do you miss?
[sighs] I miss watching the Mets.
[Link] Alright, and what don't you miss?
Watching the Mets.
- [laughter]
- [Link] And there you have it.
So, how about you?

- Okay.
At Graceland. Um
The world was a
it was a hard place for me before.
And when I was giving tours here,
I just knew exactly what to say.
It was a safe place for me.
Me and Elvis, this was
our safest place in the world.
[light chuckles]
[clearing throat]
Alright, then let's, uh, let's do it.
What?
After dinner, you
you take us on a tour.
- Uh [exhales sharply]
- [Geiger] That's a great idea.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Geiger] Tour. Tour. Tour.
[group chanting] Tour. Tour. Tour.
Tour. Tour. Tour. Tour.
You're gonna have
to feed me first, though.
- [Link] Yeah. Yeah.
- I'm not not giving a tour for nothin'.
[laughter]
In 1957, a 22-year-old Elvis
gave his parents $100,000
and charged them with the mission
of finding a piece of property
that was large enough
to secure his privacy.
Three months later,
Elvis's parents found Graceland.
He installed a security wall
at the top of the stairs
as well as a two-way mirror
you can come, [chuckles]
so that he could see
whoever was in his house.
[voice fading] To this day, he remains
the number-one
[gentle music playing]
The three doesn't match
because he got really mad
at what Walter Cronkite said once,
and he shot the TV.
[gentle music continues playing]
[inaudible]
This is the iconic Jungle Room.
Hey, did you hear about the bus
of Elvis impersonators
that crashed on its way
to an Elvis convention?
Luckily, no one was injured. Don't worry.
But we did hear
that they were all shook up.
Wow, was this recently?
No, it's a
it's a joke.
Uh, Elvis has a song, "All Shook Up."
Oh. Yeah, I did not Sorry, I
[chuckles]
I never really listened to his music.
Okay.
It's funny, that, uh
- That joke usually did really well.
- Yeah?
[chuckles]
- Anyway, uh
- [chuckles]
sorry to end our tour
on such a lame note.
[Link sniffling]
Uh, what was your, uh,
what was your favorite song?
- Oh, my God.
- I don't know.
What? You don't know?
You've memorized all these facts
about Elvis,
and about his house,
and about his horses.
And you don't know your favorite song?
Yeah, memorizing facts
about something else is just easier.
Easier than what?
It's, um
I think that it's very impressive.
Everything that you've done here.
"Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
Um
maybe, but less than usual.
[sighs]
What?
I mean, loneliness, it's just a
it's a weird thing to think about.
I mean, we're we're
all probably lonely,
but we've just been surviving
for so long that we
no one really acknowledges it, you know?
[chuckles softly]
"Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
is my favorite Elvis song.
Oh.
- [laughing]
- Right.
So, I again, yeah, I, um
- [chuckles]
- Guess I am not really an Elvis guy.
[whispering] This is it.
[whispering] Oh, this is weird.
[sobbing]

- Sorry.
- [whispering] No.
[inhales sharply]

- Sorry.
- No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's okay. It's okay.

He'd sometimes spend weeks on end
here in the TV room.
Elvis also spent a lot of time
in his bedroom upstairs.
But unfortunately,
there are still areas of the house

This position that I have held,

But it has it's provided me access

So, the good news, after three years,
things are better out there
than you think.
I asked you your name before,

- Twice.
- Yes, twice. Thank you, Geiger.
This is Geiger. He's great at counting.
You got a name?
Annie.
- Annie, my name is
- [Annie] Link.
Yeah, you said.
Hm. Left a mark.
A little about me, since I don't
exactly have Instagram anymore,
when the shit hit the fan,
I was living in Louisville.
Dropped out of college, got a job at REI,
and I heard the words "super volcano"
and "ash cloud" on the news,
and I grabbed as much
North Face swag as I possibly could.
Everyone else was making a run,
you know, for guns
and for toilet paper, while I was shoving
Antarctic-rated sleeping bags
in my Ford Focus.
Saved my life.
No, I saved your life.
It's my story, Geiger.
Can I tell it for once?
I'm just asking for a little fidelity
to the truth, partner.
I mean, when I found you,
you were in a sleeping bag
crying like a toddler.
- [Link] Mm.
- [Geiger] So, let's not make it out
like you were Richard Hatch or something.
- Richard Hatch is
- Yeah, I know.
- He won the first season of Survivor.
- [Chef] Oh.
[Geiger] Nice.
Anyway, Geiger here fed me.
Not because he loved me instantly,
but because he needed
another set of hands.
Go ahead.
We tell this story a lot.
This is his part.
I was recruiting a crew to go around
and safely shut down
all the nuclear power plants.
There's 94 in the country.
All of them are just meltdowns
waiting to happen if they're abandoned.
- And that's job one.
- [Link] Yeah.
We've been everywhere
this side of Mississippi
that isn't underwater.
So, how much do you know
about what happened?
Best we can
Actually, well, this is Urkel's section.
- We call him we call him Urkel because
- If she knew Richard Hatch,
- I'm guessing she can crack Urkel.
- [Chef chuckles]
[Urkel] Thanks. Best we can tell,
volcanic eruption
didn't just create a tsunami
that flooded the coastal areas.
It was so intense, the ash cloud
went into the stratosphere
and circled the Earth,
cooling the planet by 20 degrees or more.
I have a theory
that one of the world powers
had a secret EMP device
that knocked out all electronics.
- I mean, anything with a battery
- Alright, alright, alright.
Don't let him go down the EMP road,
otherwise, you'll be praying
for another tsunami.
- Trust me.
- [softly] We'll talk.
Upshot is
it was bad. It was really fucking bad.
We believe that we lost
two-thirds of the U.S. population,
the first 40% from the tsunami
that hit the coast,
the next 27% from, I don't know,
societal collapse, starvation.
Any survivors that we meet now
are people in groups
who have figured out
how to work together,
and most importantly,
how to grow food in these conditions.
And speaking of!
Hey, Big Papi here was impressed
with your plant in the window.
Yeah. Needs more light, though.
So, you guys, where can I get
some motherfucking bacon?
- [group chuckles]
- [Chef] Boom.
Ooh, yeah. Ah, man, I love this.
[Link] Hey.
You don't have to hide in your room.
Okay?
Hopefully, you don't mind
having a few new roommates
for the next few days.
We'll be out of your hair soon.
Spring break can't last forever.
[light music playing]
[group chattering]
[laughter and chatter continue]
[Urkel] [laughing] Holy shit!
The King does not disappoint, gentlemen.
Alright, let's see what we got.
You feeling that, that's yours.
[tools cranking]
[indistinct chatter]
Don't worry, ma'am.
We're not gonna take 'em.
Just some parts.
Cars are pretty much worthless now.
- [tools cranking]
- [Link] [wincing] Ah, fucker.
- [Gator] You alright?
- [Link] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Gator] Good?
- Yeah, yeah. It's fine.
[Geiger] The only access in here
is from the south.
I think we should stage here,
set up a perimeter.
This place is gonna be
seriously fortified.
Do we have the firepower? Yes.
Even if we get in,
how are we gonna find her?
Hey, we're just planning
our next road trip.
[Link clearing throat]
- [Link sniffling]
- Okay.
[pills rattling]
Yeah, we, uh, we all take those.
Preventative.
- Potassium iodide?
- Yeah.
You know, this is only good
for hyperthyroidism.
It doesn't help with radiation exposure.
Thanks, we know.
How long your wrist been like that?
Couple months.
You know, saving the world,
it gets rough sometimes.
[sighs] It hurts, but I can manage.
I think it's just a scaphoid fracture.
- What?
- It's a small bone near the base
of your thumb. I can reset it.
- Come here.
- Yeah? If
My hands are cold, but just
Yeah, okay.
Ye Oof. Yeah, you
have to find the bone,
and then kind of just, like,
- knock it back into place.
- [cracking]
- [Link wincing]
- Sorry, you okay?
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
- Oof.
- I'll I'll make you a splint,
but you should probably
try not to use it for the next few weeks.
Alright.
Thanks.
[wincing softly]
[hopeful music playing]
[chuckles softly]
You remember this place?
I can't wait to hear
about all your adventures. Come on.
It looks like you've been through a lot.
I missed you so much. [chuckles]
[insects chirping]
[door opens]
Sorry, I didn't know anyone was up here.
No. Uh, I hope this is okay.
I'll I'll move it back when I'm done.
Yeah.
I wondered if we'd ever see
the stars again
after that ash cloud was up there.
Do you ever see any satellites?
They look like shooting stars.
They're all starting
to fall out of the sky now.
[Annie chuckles]
[Annie grunts]
I have.
Yeah, I wondered why there were
so many shooting stars.
[Link chuckles softly]
[whispering] Satellites.
Of course.
Man, I used to fucking love telescopes.
Outer space.
Went to Florida when I was a kid.
And my sister would not stop
going on and on
about Disney World,
but I was way more hyped
on Cape Canaveral.
- You ever been?
- Mm-mm.
No? Aw, man, it was the shit.
I mean, it's not there anymore since
[whooshing] over a decade ago.
How old are you?
It's hard to keep track,
but I think I turned
25 this year?
You're 25?
- Wow.
- I mean, it's been a rough few years.
It's not easy to maintain
a skincare routine.
No, I think it's just the beard.
Well, the beard makes me
look like a leader.
The beard makes you look
like Charles Manson.
[snickering]
Okay.
That was me my freshman year of college.
[chuckles] Oh, wow. You're a baby.
- Yep.
- Cute.
- You can keep it if you want.
- [chuckles]
Thank you.
Why do they call you Link?
It's the main guy from Zelda.
[laughing]
Yeah. We seem like a bunch of bad-asses,
but we're actually just a bunch of nerds
who outlasted the popular kids.
- I kinda got that.
- [laughing]
Well, we are in fact leaving tomorrow.
We're part of this bigger group of people
going out west to try
and restart the world.
I gotta be in St. Louis by next week.
Why are you going up to St. Louis
if you're heading west?
Because you don't want to be crossing
the river into Arkansas.
It's not so bad anymore, but
there's still some bad pockets.
Like, you see right over there?
- See just across the river?
- Mm-hmm.
That's a bad pocket.
So, since it's our last night,
what are your dinner plans?
Because there's this new place
just opened up downstairs,
and they just got a new chef last week
who's just completely revamped the menu.
[Urkel] Okay? At least I look sharp.
- [Geiger speaking indistinctly]
- I look sharp, you're in a sweatshirt.
It says, "Do good," though.
All the costumes in this house,
that's what you grab.
- You guys, you're both pretty.
- [Urkel] Whoa!
- [Geiger] [whistling] Wow.
- Stop.
- [Gator clearing throat]
- [Geiger] You look nice, Annie.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
It smells great down here.
Oh, Link will be here in a minute.
- [Annie] Mm.
- She takes a while to get dressed.
[laughter]
[drinks pouring]
- [Chef] One for the lady.
- [Geiger] Oh, there she is!
Cinderella!
[group cheering]
Yeah?
- Yeah? Alright. Alright, assholes.
- [overlapping chatter]
Alright, shut the fuck up.
- Isn't she pretty?
- [Link laughing]
- [Geiger] She's so lovely.
- [Urkel] Oh, my God.
- [laughter and chatter]
- Wow.
Wow. You, uh
- You look really pretty.
- Thank you.
So, what do you think?
Uh, I
I was wrong, I I miss the beard.
[laughter]
[Geiger] Ouch.
One for the prettiest boy at the table.
[laughter]
[Link] Thank you. Alright, alright.
A big thank you to our lovely host.
Cheers.
- [all] Cheers.
- [glasses clinking]
'Kay, Annie. One thing you miss,
one thing you don't.
- Mm.
- [Annie] What?
Oh, it's a game we play
when we meet people.
So, we ask you to pick one good thing
that you miss from before
- Mm.
- and one thing that you don't.
Urkel, show her. What do you miss?
[sighs] I miss watching the Mets.
[Link] Alright, and what don't you miss?
Watching the Mets.
- [laughter]
- [Link] And there you have it.
So, how about you?
Ooh. [sighs] Um
I don't know.
Come on. Nothing?
There isn't anything
that you miss from before?
I miss the beard, that's
- Miss the beard
- [laughter]
- [Urkel] Touché.
- Touché.
Come on, now that's a cop-out.
Come on, what?
[sighs]
It's all good. It's all good.
- It's it's not meant to be a stressor.
- No, I you know, I miss
- giving tours here.
- Okay.
At Graceland. Um
The world was a
it was a hard place for me before.
And when I was giving tours here,
I just knew exactly what to say.
It was a safe place for me.
Me and Elvis, this was
our safest place in the world.
[light chuckles]
[clearing throat]
Alright, then let's, uh, let's do it.
What?
After dinner, you
you take us on a tour.
- Uh [exhales sharply]
- [Geiger] That's a great idea.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Geiger] Tour. Tour. Tour.
[group chanting] Tour. Tour. Tour.
Tour. Tour. Tour. Tour.
You're gonna have
to feed me first, though.
- [Link] Yeah. Yeah.
- I'm not not giving a tour for nothin'.
[laughter]
In 1957, a 22-year-old Elvis
gave his parents $100,000
and charged them with the mission
of finding a piece of property
that was large enough
to secure his privacy.
Three months later,
Elvis's parents found Graceland.
He installed a security wall
at the top of the stairs
as well as a two-way mirror
you can come, [chuckles]
so that he could see
whoever was in his house.
[voice fading] To this day, he remains
the number-one
[gentle music playing]
The three doesn't match
because he got really mad
at what Walter Cronkite said once,
and he shot the TV.
[gentle music continues playing]
[inaudible]
This is the iconic Jungle Room.
Hey, did you hear about the bus
of Elvis impersonators
that crashed on its way
to an Elvis convention?
Luckily, no one was injured. Don't worry.
But we did hear
that they were all shook up.
Wow, was this recently?
No, it's a
it's a joke.
Uh, Elvis has a song, "All Shook Up."
Oh. Yeah, I did not Sorry, I
[chuckles]
I never really listened to his music.
Okay.
It's funny, that, uh
- That joke usually did really well.
- Yeah?
[chuckles]
- Anyway, uh
- [chuckles]
sorry to end our tour
on such a lame note.
[Link sniffling]
Uh, what was your, uh,
what was your favorite song?
- Oh, my God.
- I don't know.
What? You don't know?
You've memorized all these facts
about Elvis,
and about his house,
and about his horses.
And you don't know your favorite song?
Yeah, memorizing facts
about something else is just easier.
Easier than what?
It's, um
I think that it's very impressive.
Everything that you've done here.
"Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
Um
maybe, but less than usual.
[sighs]
What?
I mean, loneliness, it's just a
it's a weird thing to think about.
I mean, we're we're
all probably lonely,
but we've just been surviving
for so long that we
no one really acknowledges it, you know?
[chuckles softly]
"Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
is my favorite Elvis song.
Oh.
- [laughing]
- Right.
So, I again, yeah, I, um
- [chuckles]
- Guess I am not really an Elvis guy.
[whispering] This is it.
[whispering] Oh, this is weird.
[sobbing]
[sniffling]
- Sorry.
- [whispering] No.
[inhales sharply]
[sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
- Sorry.
- No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's okay. It's okay.
[sighs, sniffles]
It's [chuckles, sniffles]
- It's been a while.
- [both laughing]
Yeah. Yeah.
[sobbing]
[sniffling]
[sighs deeply] Um

[laughing] No.
Why are you really here?
So, you know how Urkel
has his EMP theory?
Mm-hmm.
All electronic devices were wiped out,
but we found that
some vintage parts still work.
Mm-hmm.
So, we figured that we ought to check out
Elvis's old decommissioned cars,
I don't know, see if we could salvage
anything useful for a trip to Colorado.
Colorado?
There's a bunker out there.
We're convinced of it.
But not just any bunker,
a full underground city.
I mean, this place has supplies
that don't exist anywhere else.
Airplanes and electrical grids,
energy sources that can help
jump-start the world.
But it's more than that.
There's something there,
something that nobody knows about.
Something so dangerous.
I'd try and explain it to you,
but trust me, you wouldn't understand.
And I I don't mean that as an insult.
No, I get it. It's a a giant shark.

Let her go!
Hey, listen to me!
Settle down.
You're the one who's been going
on and on about this bunker
and the fate of the world.
This is not the time
to be catching feelings.
Now listen, we've
gotta get to the bunker.
- Yes.
- We gotta get inside,
and we've got to kill Alex.
Right?
One minute. Then we gotta get going.
Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stand up.
Head up. Put your head back.
Pinch your nose.
Pinch your nose.
