Paradise (2025) s02e03 Episode Script
Another Day in Paradise
1
[Annie] You're 25?
Well, the beard makes me
look like a leader.
The beard makes you look like
Charles Manson.
We've gotta get to the bunker,
we gotta get inside,
and we've gotta kill Alex.
If I told you to design me
an underground city,
a city for 25,000 people,
what would you say?
[Anders]
There's no amount of money that would
allow you to excavate a space so large.
You violated the privacy of my home?
You are coming undone. Let me help you.
I don't think you should waste
any more time on me, Gabriela.
Okay, well,
but there's nothing that we can't
You're excused, Dr. Torabi.
- [Xavier] What about Jane?
- Even on her best day,
she's barely a notch
above a fucking intern.
[Billy choking]
[Robinson] She's Holly Hobbie with a gun.
I am wrestling with what to do
about the girl.
- She knows too much.
- [Jane] [on phone] I'll handle it.
[Sinatra] You might want to check
on your daughter.
- [gunshots]
- [Sinatra gasps]
What the fuck did you do?!
- [gunshot]
- [gasps]
[Jane] Presley's fine.
He was gonna blow your brains out.
But you're no use to me if you're dead.
Sinatra's down.
For now.
But there will be somebody else
to take her place.
- [overlapping chatter]
- Enough!
You don't like
this world I built, fix it.
[tense music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[Dr. Louge] [voice echoing] Listen, I
know this all sounds pretty far-fetched.
- [Sinatra] If that stuff happens
- [Dr. Louge] It's going to happen.
[Sinatra] So, what do we do?
Dig the biggest hole you can
and you get in.
- [Cal] You going to the next talk?
- [Sinatra] No, I'm done talking.
Hey.
Hey.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Hey.
Hi.
I was hoping I could pick
your brain a little more.
I need a drink.
I drink.
[Dr. Louge]
You're the cloud storage lady, right?
- Mm-hm.
- They gave us a list
of all the attendees with photos.
You were on the first page.
You're a big deal.
- [waiter] What are we having?
- What's the most expensive thing you got?
[waiter]
Fifty-year-old single malt. $85 a shot.
How many shots in a bottle?
Around 16, ma'am.
We'll take the bottle.
$1,360, if my math is right.
My math's right.
That amount means nothing
to you, does it?
- Not to save the world.
- [chuckles]
You're a few decades
too late to do that, lady.
I wasn't kidding before.
Only thing left to do
is dig a hole and get in.
Yes, the hole has been added
to my to-do list.
- [cork popping]
- But I would far prefer to stop
this catastrophe of yours
before it happens.
[liquor pouring]
[sniffs]
[gulping]
Shit, that's good.
- [bottle thuds]
- [waiter] Enjoy.
I'm assuming you've never heard
of Venus Syndrome.
No, I haven't.
Well, allow me to paint a picture.
At some point in the near future,
the caldera erupts.
That's a super volcano.
That causes a global tsunami,
ash clouds, apocalypse.
Most people are killed.
Not everybody, though.
After a few years,
things seem to ease up.
The temperature stabilizes.
The survivors are thinking,
"We made it. We're so lucky."
Not so fast, morons.
That was just the first act.
The cooling stops.
Trapped greenhouse gases seize control.
The heat starts to ratchet up,
slowly at first, and then, all at once.
The air thickens, oceans evaporate,
and soon, the pressure
crushes everything still standing.
It's what happened on Venus.
Anybody still around for that will
wish they died on the very first day.
♪♪
[Dr. Louge exhales]
I come up with solutions
to some pretty big problems.
I don't want my family
to live in a hole for generations.
I have the motive and the resources
to do whatever it takes.
Billionaires are amazing.
You think your money
gives you superpowers.
You don't like traffic,
you buy a helicopter.
You don't like strangers,
you buy an island.
There's only one thing that can fix this.
And it's the one thing
even you can't buy.
And what is that?
Time.
[ominous music playing]
[machine beeping]
[music fades out]
[machine beeping rapidly]
Mrs. Redmond?
Can you hear me, Mrs. Redmond?
[Cal] Sam!
What are you doing in here sulking?
We won!
I'm gonna be freaking
President of the United States.
Do you believe that?
"Uptown Funk's" gonna be playing
in the ballroom soon, it's gonna go off.
Colorado Project
should be further along by now.
- It worries me.
- Dude, bruh. Chill.
I'm a young president.
This is how I talk.
Mm.
Sam, I will now have the power
to remove any red tape
that you need removed, okay?
The bunker is on schedule.
And even if the worst happens,
and personally, I'm not buying it,
your life's work is complete.
Take the Mazel Tov.
It was never just about the bunker.
[Kane] Cal, there you are.
Mr. President-elect,
we have been looking for you.
You asked me to tell you when
- "Uptown Funk"?
- Two songs away.
Marsha, what would I do without you?
You'll never find out, sir,
because you're never getting rid of me.
[muffled cheering]
[muffled dance music playing]
My son, whom we somehow
just got elected President
is a moron.
He's smarter than you think.
Yeah, I know. Don't tell him that.
I understand you're having
some problems with your side project.
He's pulling the plug.
The developer. He won't sell.
Your offer was good?
And you think it's important,
this technology.
That the bunker is pointless without it.
It's fair to say the fate
of the world depends on it.
Well, I won't even pretend to understand
the science mumbo jumbo of it,
but I do trust your instincts.
Now, you need this thing,
and he won't sell it to you.
It's probably time that I introduce you
to a different type of person.
[machine beeping]
[clearing throat] How long was I out?
About a month, Mrs. Redmond.
What's happened?
[dramatic music playing]
[police officer] Hey!
Hey!
- Wait!
- [tires screeching]
[dramatic music continues playing]
[sighs]
[mug thuds]
[glass thuds]
[Robinson]
We need to know what's out there.
We need to know who's left.
I would die before I let anything
happen to those kids.
- [door opens]
- [Jane] Xavier?
- Yeah.
- [Jane] Hello?
[Xavier] Hey. You okay?
She's alive.
- [Robinson] Who's alive?
- Sinatra.
[sniffling] I just got word.
[sobbing] I shot her.
Oh, my God, she wasn't armed.
I just I rushed in, and I saw you
with your gun, and I fired.
- Oh, my God, I could've killed her.
- Hey. It's not your fault.
Jane, look at me. You did good.
I fired on an unarmed civilian.
- I completely ignored my training.
- Listen. You got to Presley.
You kept her safe. You got to me.
You did well.
How'd you know to go over there?
I don't know.
I guess I heard chatter on the comms,
and I I had an instinct
that maybe Xavier
needed backup, and I just
I don't know, I went there
and then I shot her.
- Alright, okay, just
- Oh, God.
- Listen, okay?
- [sighs]
All of this is gonna come down on me.
The President,
the librarian, Sinatra, all of it.
That's the way this is gonna go down,
I guarantee it.
And you're gonna let it.
- You didn't shoot Sinatra. I did.
- [Robinson] What?
- No, fuck that!
- Listen, you're gonna let me
be the bad guy.
It'll leave everyone else clean.
Do you hear me?
You do not fight back
until I get back here with my wife.
Is that clear?
[sighs]
Yeah.
[footsteps approaching]
Mm! Okay, hair. I see you.
[chuckles] Thanks. I needed a change.
Since when do you drink coffee?
I don't. This isn't for me.
Ah, getting demoted sucks, huh?
You know, I told myself
I'd eat a lot of shit
to keep you kids safe.
Little did I know
they'd just keep shoveling it in.
- Nice image.
- Sorry.
I can handle it.
We appreciate you looking after us.
You know how you two
can show your appreciation?
By staying out of trouble.
Especially you.
Okay, do we really need
to go through this again?
Jeremy with the good hair has gone full
Les Miz at a very dangerous time.
Well, at least he's doing something.
I mean, all the adults in this place
act like what's going on
out there is normal.
- Presley.
- Jeremy's dad is dead.
And our dad is gone.
None of this is normal.
Presley, look.
[clearing throat]
Your dad is coming back.
Okay? So, just keep your noses clean.
Make no waves 'til he does. Got it?
Yeah?
- Yeah, 'kay.
- [Robinson] Okay.
Get to school so I can focus
on this demeaning coffee task.
[computer keys clacking]
- [sighs]
- [door closes]
Hey.
Ew. Let's go.
Yes, Miss Daisy.
Look, I know it's no fun
they're treating me like a hero
and you like a leper,
but I just wanna remind you
that I didn't ask for this.
And if it wasn't for me
putting in a good word for you,
you'd be changing
the batteries on the ducks.
[sighs] Where to?
Hercules.
- [car door opens]
- [whispering] Hercules.
When I took office a few short weeks ago,
it's fair to say this place
was in a bit of a tailspin
after the Xavier Collins fiasco.
And yes, there are still
some hooligans out there.
Mostly young people
trying to stir up trouble.
But the vast majority
of our population has been pacified.
I've taken many steps to avoid a repeat
of the unfortunate insurrection,
and we are turning a corner.
But now, it's time
for the really exciting news.
Are you ready?
Okay. See if you can guess.
What is something
people don't have down here
that they used to have up there?
Extended families?
No. What else?
- Pets?
- No.
That's not what I'm asking.
What don't they have?
Okay, I'm just gonna say it.
Summer.
We don't have seasons down here,
and I think people find that upsetting.
It's not natural.
And who's gonna hate
a President who gives 'em
a few months of warm summer sun?
This is where you clap.
Look, I know it sounds trivial,
but distraction has been
a tool of politics for ages.
Rebuilding public sentiment is crucial
if we're gonna get
this community back on track.
[Morton] [clearing throat] Um
Sir, I I just feel compelled to say
that we we don't really have
the electrical power
to further heat the bunker
for an extended period.
How can we not have power?
The city was designed to have
at least 30 years' worth of power.
Yes, and it does,
but a a large portion
of the power generated
by our modular nuclear reactors is, um
What?
It's siphoned off for Sinatra's project.
- Which is?
- Uh
- Dr. Torabi, you know anything about this?
- No, sir, I don't.
Thought you two were close.
We're on a break.
This is happening.
We'll simply raise the temperature
by at least 10 degrees
- and brighten the sun by
- You absolute dipshit.
Y-You can't increase
the energy load on the bunker.
There's no more.
You've already maxed out
what we have here,
and if you simply increase it,
it's going to melt down
this whole fucking system.
How fucking stupid are you?
Is this the part where I get arrested?
Yes, good luck, good luck.
[door closes]
I want access to that extra power.
And I'll be alerted the very second
Sinatra wakes up.
Sir, she woke up two days ago.
What?
[tense music playing]
[Tim] I'm so glad they're finally
letting you come home.
Doc said tomorrow at the latest.
[groaning softly] I can't wait.
Has Carmen been taking good care of you?
She's been amazing.
We've never eaten so well.
I'm sorry.
[stifled sobbing]
I'm so sorry.
I'm gonna do better, I promise.
[knocking]
Hi, guys. Sorry to interrupt.
Do you mind if I get a minute
with Mrs. Redmond?
[sighs]
[whispering] It's fine.
Come on, sweetie.
It's good to see you awake, boss.
Thanks, Jane.
What do you remember about what happened?
Not much, really.
It's a blur.
You don't remember anything? Really?
I really don't, Jane.
Turns out severe physical trauma
really fucks with your brain.
Why don't you tell me what happened?
Xavier Collins shot you.
I got there in time, and I ran him off.
The whole town knows.
If you do remember
anything differently
please know that I did
what I had to do to keep you clean.
There were dead bodies all over the place.
I didn't have a lot of good options.
Well, then I thank you.
I have some bad news.
President Baines wants
to bring you in for questioning.
[music fades out]
[Sinatra exhales]
[clearing throat] I've got it.
Sam, you're back. I just heard.
Gabby. I'm so happy you're here.
Since I woke up,
I've been wanting to see you.
We have a lot to talk about.
Yes, we do.
Let's get it ready.
[dramatic music playing]
Leave my sister alone.
Tell me this isn't happening.
You lied to me, you surveilled me
and you kept me out of the loop
while you did unspeakable things.
So, you go to work for Baines?
Let him do this to me?
None of this is necessary, Henry.
We could just have
a normal conversation like adults.
I know you're in there.
Will you be answering
my questions, Samantha?
She looks pissed.
This should be interesting.
[over speakers] We're ready.
For the record
your name is Samantha Redmond?
To calibrate the machine.
Yes.
You go by the handle "Sinatra?"
I do.
Your husband's name is Tim?
Yes.
[Gabriela] Do you have children?
Yes, I'm a mother.
How many children do you have?
One living, one deceased.
Is that correct?
Yes.
Are you siphoning power
away from the bunker?
[children chattering faintly]
[Billy] Nice day out.
Looks like showers are coming our way.
So, I've been told
that you have experience
with this type of thing mostly overseas,
so I'm not sure how frequently you
Lady, you need to calm the fuck down
or I'm walking away.
Sorry.
You're not wearing a wire, are you?
No. Why would I be?
Well, I should probably
frisk you to be safe.
Relax. I'm fucking with you.
You want me to feel you up,
you gotta ask me for it.
[bag unzipping]
I just want you to convince him
to sign the papers
and sell me the company.
Nah, I've been told all that.
They say that path's a no-go.
Well, if he doesn't leave us
any other option,
then I guess
you'll just have to proceed
If you fucking say it out loud,
I'm leaving immediately.
Jesus Christ, lady,
you're really shitty at this.
Yeah, he's a cutie.
Really makes you think.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Ask her again.
Are you siphoning a great deal of power
and compromising the safety
of this bunker
for your own personal gain?
Dr. Torabi, don't you think
if I were to do such a thing,
you of all people would know about it?
I don't know, Samantha.
It seems I've been out of the loop
on a great many things.
Fair.
[Baines] Ask her again.
Are you ever gonna forgive me?
Are you siphoning power away
from the bunker
for your own personal gain?
No.
She's telling the truth.
- [Baines] This is bullshit!
- Sir
I am the president now
and you will give me the answers I need.
It's not your show anymore, Samantha!
Uh, sorry, sir.
I'm just I'm exhausted.
My memory is foggy.
You just dragged me
out of the hospital for this.
I am aware that you think
I'm a small man.
But I will remind you
that I am a two-term governor,
then Senator, then Vice President.
You don't get where I got by accident.
Do not underestimate me, Samantha.
I am in charge now.
And if you underestimate me,
you do so at your own peril.
Understand?
Yes, Mr. President.
Sir.
I just don't have
any good answers for you.
- I really just need time to rest.
- Enough!
Just stop with the bullshit!
Get her out of here. Take her home.
Put armed guards at the door.
[door closes]
That man needs a breath mint.
[tense music playing]
[music fades out]
- [patrons chattering]
- [announcer on TV]
[Billy sighs]
You're not a Buckeyes fan, are you?
- Sorry?
- I just got money on Kentucky.
Oh. Good luck.
Yeah, need it.
Uh, just have whatever he's having.
And another one for him.
- It's on me.
- [glass thuds]
- Thanks very much.
- Yes, sir.
- Cheers, my man.
- [glasses clinking]
- Santé.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, whatever you said.
You're shitting me.
I I didn't get a single word of that.
- Say that again.
- It's called "Advanced Wave Functions,
Superposition, and Quantum Entanglement."
And college kids
actually sign up for that?
Grad students mostly, but yeah.
That shit is way over my head, bro.
You are not alone.
It is over the heads of most.
There There's this one kid,
though, a brilliant young man,
at least 10 years younger
than anybody else in the class,
and he understands it perfectly,
like I have never seen before.
I Actually, I made him
a partner in my business.
We've made some
pretty great leaps together.
- Sounds like a pretty impressive kid.
- Yep.
Closest thing I've ever had to a son.
Before him, it was just me and my wife,
and we never had kids
of our own 'cause
Uh
Nah, I better, uh, slow down
on the whiskey
before I bore you
with my whole life story.
Mm.
This is nice, though, it was
It's nice meeting you.
Same here, pal. Good times.
I don't get to do this much
where I'm from.
Sit at a bar and make a new friend.
No bars in your town?
What'd you say?
That w That was only a joke.
Yeah.
[glass thuds]
What's this?
That is the easy way.
Need you to sign that.
There's a harder way.
But either road ends with her owning
whatever this little company of yours is.
And from what I understand,
this version makes you a very rich man.
There is a lot that you don't know.
Yeah, I'm a pretty simple guy.
You wanna sign that.
I'm not fucking around.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think that things happen
for a reason, or are they just random?
I don't know.
But I definitely have a gun
in my pocket for a reason.
Sign.
[tense music playing]
[paper rustling]
[sniffling, clearing throat]
- [tapping table]
- It was nice chatting with you.
It was a pleasure.
[paper rustling]
[Baines] That was a disaster.
Sir, it was just a start.
We will find what she's hiding.
But I thought we agreed, sir,
I was going to keep
the pressure on Samantha,
because that's what works
with her, it's persistence.
This house arrest is only
gonna agitate her further.
I'm the goddamn president
and nobody respects me.
Well, you can't let her
get under your skin like that, sir.
- You have to stay calm.
- Calm?
I am surrounded by these meathead agents.
I can't even go jogging
without notifying 17 people.
I thought you were amazing today, sir.
I mean, of course,
Sinatra was never gonna talk right away,
but the way you set her up
Sorry.
Continue.
No, I I'm sorry.
It's inappropriate of me to weigh in.
Way above my pay grade.
[Baines] Don't be silly.
I value your opinion.
Jane, right?
The girl who stopped Collins.
- [chuckles softly]
- No, listen to me.
You are smart and good at your job.
Believe me,
I'm a very good judge of character.
Thank you, Mr. President.
[dramatic music playing]
[crickets chirping]
Oh wow, real thin.
You gotta get it bubbling
on the surface
Mom? Why are those cops even here?
There's nothing to worry about.
Truly, the important thing
is we're all together.
Oh, thank you.
It's so nice to have you back,
Mrs. Redmond.
Carmen, how can I convince you
to call me Samantha?
Never have and never will, Mrs. Redmond.
Can I get you anything?
[Sinatra] How about a pot
with that special tea I like?
With pleasure.
What now?
Does that lunatic keep you
under house arrest just forever?
I don't know, hon. I'll figure it out.
Hm. You always do.
Honestly, forever house arrest
sounds pretty goddamn good
right about now.
[deep breath]

[music fades out]
I'm going for a jog.
Had a hell of a stressful day,
and I need to clear my head.
Is there a problem?
Sir, please give us a few minutes
to secure the neighborhood.
- Send an advance team up ahead
- Oh, would you stop.
I don't need an army
to run around the block a few times.
What I do need is some goddamn privacy.
I'll go with you, sir.
I'll stay far behind,
you won't even know I'm there.
Fine. And that's it.
Can't exactly clear my head
with a herd of brutes blocking my view.
[door opens]
I I'm so sorry to wake Mrs. Redmond.
Samantha.
Dr. Torabi is here.
[Gabriela] I'm sorry to come by so late.
I needed to talk to you.
No, of course. I'm surprised you made it
past the militia Baines sent.
[chuckles] Oh. I got clearance.
'Course.
I I brought you this.
[gasps] Wow. [chuckles]
Look how young we were.
[Gabriela] Do you remember
when that was taken?
Yeah, Necker Island.
It was the first planning retreat
we had for this place.
It was just me
and a bunch of billionaires.
I stuck out like a sore thumb.
God, that trip was amazing.
- We drank a lot.
- Yeah, we did.
- [laughing] A lot.
- A lot.
I'm grateful to you for coming by here.
Giving me another chance.
You know, when I was a kid,
my dad had this beautiful
1967 Pontiac Firebird.
That thing was a beast.
Five-speed, 400-cubic-inch engine
with dual exhaust and headers.
I only know this because
he said it all the damn time.
It was impressive [chuckles]
when it was working, which was
almost never.
I swear, for the better part
of my childhood,
the view I saw the most of my dad
was the bottom of his feet
sticking out from underneath that thing.
Then one day, this kid shows
with a handful of cash.
I guess my dad had put an ad
in the paper or something.
And I thought he'd be sad
to let that goddamn car go, but
he smiled.
He patted the kid on the shoulder,
and he said, "Good luck, kiddo."
And he never looked back.
I guess at some point, some things
just aren't worth fixing anymore.
Anyway.
[clearing throat]
Good luck, kiddo.
[Presley] I just don't get it.
Why didn't Jeremy leave a note today?
It's not like him.
I didn't want you to get in trouble.
What do you mean?
Don't be mad.
Uh, I'm gonna be mad
if you don't tell me right now.
There was a note, but I threw it away.
Dude, why would you do that?!
It's just, Mom's gone,
and now Dad's gone too,
and it's just You're all I have left.
[sighs] James.
Look, I'm not going anywhere, okay?
Now, tell me what it said.
It said to meet him
at the edge of the world at 6 p.m.
James, that was, like, an hour ago.
[James] I know, I'm sorry!
[tense music playing]
[vehicle approaching]
I'm Jeremy Bradford.
- [car door closes]
- I think you've been looking for me.

We have. Keep your hands up.

[door closes loudly]
This is my wife.
She's been like this for quite a while.
That's why we never had kids,
why my genius young protégé
is the closest thing I've had to one.
Huntington's disease,
it is the motherfucker of motherfuckers
when it comes to diseases.
She's been sick for so long
hardly remember when she wasn't.
We used to travel. We loved to travel.
And in the days leading up to the trip,
I would be obsessed
with the weather report.
I would worry that the rain
was gonna spoil
all of our plans, you know?
50% chance of rain,
I'd find myself getting so upset.
But my lovely, beautiful wife,
well, she would remind me
that a 50% chance of rain
also means a 50% chance of sun.
Two sides of the same coin.
It's really just
"glass half full," but
[whispering] it was our version.
It was our version.
[gentle music playing]
[labored breathing]
[exhaling slowly]
[whispering] I'll see ya soon my love.
Goodbye, Alex.
I asked you before if you think
that things happen for a reason.
Do you think that you're here
by random happenstance,
or are you here
because you are supposed to be here
with Alex and me?
Fuck if I know, bro.
50% chance of rain, 50% chance of sun.
Today, I am choosing
to believe in the sun.
Today, I am choosing to believe
that it all worked.
That you are supposed to be here.
In which case
you may need this.
I ask only one favor of you,
my new friend.
When the boy comes, let him go.
Do not harm him.
It is not hyperbole to say
that the fate of the world
may depend on it.
[breathing deeply]
You have kind eyes.
I see the sun in them.
Please just make it

[high-pitch ringing fades]
Do not go in there.
You were never here.
I was never here.
Nod if you understand me.
This project is over,
and those people in there are gone.
So, you need to run.
Far away as you can.
And remember
I know it might not
seem like it right now
but this was the luckiest day
of your fucking life.
[music fades out]
[Billy sighs]
[Billy] It's done.
- [Sinatra] So, he's
- It's done.
[Billy sighs]
If it helps you sleep any better,
what you did will save people.
[Billy scoffs]
Billions of people.
Lady, I sleep like shit no matter what.
And so, in the future, if I should
need additional services?
Christ, woman, one minute
you're shaking like a leaf,
then you wanna talk about
the frequent customer program?
- It's not like that.
- Tenth job's free, by the way.
I can get you a punch card.
[sighs] If you need me again,
all I need's a name and a photograph.
- That's it?
- Yep.
You just say they need a breath mint.
I'll take care of the rest.
[panting] This is the stuff, Jane.
I already feel my stress melting away.
- Glad to hear it, sir.
- Yeah.
Are you sure we shouldn't
walk a little, Mr. President?
Sure. If you need a break.
[sighs] God, it feels good
to burn off steam.
Honestly, Jane,
you can't begin to imagine
problems and pressures of being
the most important man in the world.

Good.
'Cause you're gonna help me

How have you been, Carmen?
[Carmen] I've been fine.
It, uh, it was a very scary time
with you in the hospital.
And how is Alex?
Alex is well.
The power problem has been resolved?
Oh, yes, I made sure of that.
[Carmen] Good.
[Sinatra] Any other messages?
Do they have an estimate?
[Carmen] No messages.
[Sinatra] [over computer]
And the estimate?
[Carmen] [over computer]
It's too unpredictable.
But she is getting closer.

I'll have to live with "closer."

Well, the beard makes me

The beard makes you look like

We've gotta get to the bunker,
we gotta get inside,

If I told you to design me
an underground city,
a city for 25,000 people,
what would you say?

There's no amount of money that would
allow you to excavate a space so large.
You violated the privacy of my home?
You are coming undone. Let me help you.
I don't think you should waste
any more time on me, Gabriela.
Okay, well,
but there's nothing that we can't
You're excused, Dr. Torabi.
- [Xavier] What about Jane?
- Even on her best day,
she's barely a notch
above a fucking intern.
[Billy choking]
[Robinson] She's Holly Hobbie with a gun.
I am wrestling with what to do
about the girl.
- She knows too much.
- [Jane] [on phone] I'll handle it.
[Sinatra] You might want to check
on your daughter.
- [gunshots]
- [Sinatra gasps]
What the fuck did you do?!
- [gunshot]
- [gasps]
[Jane] Presley's fine.
He was gonna blow your brains out.
But you're no use to me if you're dead.
Sinatra's down.
For now.
But there will be somebody else
to take her place.
- [overlapping chatter]
- Enough!
You don't like
this world I built, fix it.
[tense music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[Dr. Louge] [voice echoing] Listen, I
know this all sounds pretty far-fetched.
- [Sinatra] If that stuff happens
- [Dr. Louge] It's going to happen.
[Sinatra] So, what do we do?
Dig the biggest hole you can
and you get in.
- [Cal] You going to the next talk?
- [Sinatra] No, I'm done talking.
Hey.
Hey.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Hey.
Hi.
I was hoping I could pick
your brain a little more.
I need a drink.
I drink.
[Dr. Louge]
You're the cloud storage lady, right?
- Mm-hm.
- They gave us a list
of all the attendees with photos.
You were on the first page.
You're a big deal.
- [waiter] What are we having?
- What's the most expensive thing you got?
[waiter]
Fifty-year-old single malt. $85 a shot.
How many shots in a bottle?
Around 16, ma'am.
We'll take the bottle.
$1,360, if my math is right.
My math's right.
That amount means nothing
to you, does it?
- Not to save the world.
- [chuckles]
You're a few decades
too late to do that, lady.
I wasn't kidding before.
Only thing left to do
is dig a hole and get in.
Yes, the hole has been added
to my to-do list.
- [cork popping]
- But I would far prefer to stop
this catastrophe of yours
before it happens.

Shit, that's good.

- [waiter] Enjoy.
I'm assuming you've never heard
of Venus Syndrome.
No, I haven't.
Well, allow me to paint a picture.
At some point in the near future,
the caldera erupts.
That's a super volcano.
That causes a global tsunami,
ash clouds, apocalypse.
Most people are killed.
Not everybody, though.
After a few years,
things seem to ease up.
The temperature stabilizes.
The survivors are thinking,
"We made it. We're so lucky."
Not so fast, morons.
That was just the first act.
The cooling stops.
Trapped greenhouse gases seize control.
The heat starts to ratchet up,
slowly at first, and then, all at once.
The air thickens, oceans evaporate,
and soon, the pressure
crushes everything still standing.
It's what happened on Venus.
Anybody still around for that will
wish they died on the very first day.

[Dr. Louge exhales]
I come up with solutions
to some pretty big problems.
I don't want my family
to live in a hole for generations.
I have the motive and the resources
to do whatever it takes.
Billionaires are amazing.
You think your money
gives you superpowers.
You don't like traffic,
you buy a helicopter.
You don't like strangers,
you buy an island.
There's only one thing that can fix this.
And it's the one thing
even you can't buy.
And what is that?
Time.

Mrs. Redmond?
Can you hear me, Mrs. Redmond?
[Cal] Sam!
What are you doing in here sulking?
We won!
I'm gonna be freaking
President of the United States.
Do you believe that?
"Uptown Funk's" gonna be playing
in the ballroom soon, it's gonna go off.
Colorado Project
should be further along by now.
- It worries me.
- Dude, bruh. Chill.
I'm a young president.
This is how I talk.
Mm.
Sam, I will now have the power
to remove any red tape
that you need removed, okay?
The bunker is on schedule.
And even if the worst happens,
and personally, I'm not buying it,
your life's work is complete.
Take the Mazel Tov.
It was never just about the bunker.
[Kane] Cal, there you are.
Mr. President-elect,
we have been looking for you.
You asked me to tell you when
- "Uptown Funk"?
- Two songs away.
Marsha, what would I do without you?
You'll never find out, sir,
because you're never getting rid of me.
[muffled cheering]
[muffled dance music playing]
My son, whom we somehow
just got elected President
is a moron.
He's smarter than you think.
Yeah, I know. Don't tell him that.
I understand you're having
some problems with your side project.
He's pulling the plug.
The developer. He won't sell.
Your offer was good?
And you think it's important,
this technology.
That the bunker is pointless without it.
It's fair to say the fate
of the world depends on it.
Well, I won't even pretend to understand
the science mumbo jumbo of it,
but I do trust your instincts.
Now, you need this thing,
and he won't sell it to you.
It's probably time that I introduce you
to a different type of person.
[machine beeping]
[clearing throat] How long was I out?
About a month, Mrs. Redmond.
What's happened?
[dramatic music playing]
[police officer] Hey!
Hey!
- Wait!
- [tires screeching]
[dramatic music continues playing]
[sighs]
[mug thuds]
[glass thuds]
[Robinson]
We need to know what's out there.
We need to know who's left.
I would die before I let anything
happen to those kids.
- [door opens]
- [Jane] Xavier?
- Yeah.
- [Jane] Hello?
[Xavier] Hey. You okay?
She's alive.
- [Robinson] Who's alive?
- Sinatra.
[sniffling] I just got word.
[sobbing] I shot her.
Oh, my God, she wasn't armed.
I just I rushed in, and I saw you
with your gun, and I fired.
- Oh, my God, I could've killed her.
- Hey. It's not your fault.
Jane, look at me. You did good.
I fired on an unarmed civilian.
- I completely ignored my training.
- Listen. You got to Presley.
You kept her safe. You got to me.
You did well.
How'd you know to go over there?
I don't know.
I guess I heard chatter on the comms,
and I I had an instinct
that maybe Xavier
needed backup, and I just
I don't know, I went there
and then I shot her.
- Alright, okay, just
- Oh, God.
- Listen, okay?
- [sighs]
All of this is gonna come down on me.
The President,
the librarian, Sinatra, all of it.
That's the way this is gonna go down,
I guarantee it.
And you're gonna let it.
- You didn't shoot Sinatra. I did.
- [Robinson] What?
- No, fuck that!
- Listen, you're gonna let me
be the bad guy.
It'll leave everyone else clean.
Do you hear me?
You do not fight back
until I get back here with my wife.
Is that clear?
[sighs]
Yeah.
[footsteps approaching]
Mm! Okay, hair. I see you.
[chuckles] Thanks. I needed a change.
Since when do you drink coffee?
I don't. This isn't for me.
Ah, getting demoted sucks, huh?
You know, I told myself
I'd eat a lot of shit
to keep you kids safe.
Little did I know
they'd just keep shoveling it in.
- Nice image.
- Sorry.
I can handle it.
We appreciate you looking after us.
You know how you two
can show your appreciation?
By staying out of trouble.
Especially you.
Okay, do we really need
to go through this again?
Jeremy with the good hair has gone full
Les Miz at a very dangerous time.
Well, at least he's doing something.
I mean, all the adults in this place
act like what's going on
out there is normal.
- Presley.
- Jeremy's dad is dead.
And our dad is gone.
None of this is normal.
Presley, look.
[clearing throat]
Your dad is coming back.
Okay? So, just keep your noses clean.
Make no waves 'til he does. Got it?
Yeah?
- Yeah, 'kay.
- [Robinson] Okay.
Get to school so I can focus
on this demeaning coffee task.
[computer keys clacking]
- [sighs]
- [door closes]
Hey.
Ew. Let's go.
Yes, Miss Daisy.
Look, I know it's no fun
they're treating me like a hero
and you like a leper,
but I just wanna remind you
that I didn't ask for this.
And if it wasn't for me
putting in a good word for you,
you'd be changing
the batteries on the ducks.
[sighs] Where to?
Hercules.
- [car door opens]
- [whispering] Hercules.
When I took office a few short weeks ago,
it's fair to say this place
was in a bit of a tailspin
after the Xavier Collins fiasco.
And yes, there are still
some hooligans out there.
Mostly young people
trying to stir up trouble.
But the vast majority
of our population has been pacified.
I've taken many steps to avoid a repeat
of the unfortunate insurrection,
and we are turning a corner.
But now, it's time
for the really exciting news.
Are you ready?
Okay. See if you can guess.
What is something
people don't have down here
that they used to have up there?
Extended families?
No. What else?
- Pets?
- No.
That's not what I'm asking.
What don't they have?
Okay, I'm just gonna say it.
Summer.
We don't have seasons down here,
and I think people find that upsetting.
It's not natural.
And who's gonna hate
a President who gives 'em
a few months of warm summer sun?
This is where you clap.
Look, I know it sounds trivial,
but distraction has been
a tool of politics for ages.
Rebuilding public sentiment is crucial
if we're gonna get
this community back on track.
[Morton] [clearing throat] Um
Sir, I I just feel compelled to say
that we we don't really have
the electrical power
to further heat the bunker
for an extended period.
How can we not have power?
The city was designed to have
at least 30 years' worth of power.
Yes, and it does,
but a a large portion
of the power generated
by our modular nuclear reactors is, um
What?
It's siphoned off for Sinatra's project.
- Which is?
- Uh
- Dr. Torabi, you know anything about this?
- No, sir, I don't.
Thought you two were close.
We're on a break.
This is happening.
We'll simply raise the temperature
by at least 10 degrees
- and brighten the sun by
- You absolute dipshit.
Y-You can't increase
the energy load on the bunker.
There's no more.
You've already maxed out
what we have here,
and if you simply increase it,
it's going to melt down
this whole fucking system.
How fucking stupid are you?
Is this the part where I get arrested?
Yes, good luck, good luck.
[door closes]
I want access to that extra power.
And I'll be alerted the very second
Sinatra wakes up.
Sir, she woke up two days ago.
What?
[tense music playing]
[Tim] I'm so glad they're finally
letting you come home.
Doc said tomorrow at the latest.
[groaning softly] I can't wait.
Has Carmen been taking good care of you?
She's been amazing.
We've never eaten so well.
I'm sorry.
[stifled sobbing]
I'm so sorry.
I'm gonna do better, I promise.
[knocking]
Hi, guys. Sorry to interrupt.
Do you mind if I get a minute
with Mrs. Redmond?
[sighs]
[whispering] It's fine.
Come on, sweetie.
It's good to see you awake, boss.
Thanks, Jane.
What do you remember about what happened?
Not much, really.
It's a blur.
You don't remember anything? Really?
I really don't, Jane.
Turns out severe physical trauma
really fucks with your brain.
Why don't you tell me what happened?
Xavier Collins shot you.
I got there in time, and I ran him off.
The whole town knows.
If you do remember
anything differently
please know that I did
what I had to do to keep you clean.
There were dead bodies all over the place.
I didn't have a lot of good options.
Well, then I thank you.
I have some bad news.
President Baines wants
to bring you in for questioning.
[music fades out]
[Sinatra exhales]
[clearing throat] I've got it.
Sam, you're back. I just heard.
Gabby. I'm so happy you're here.
Since I woke up,
I've been wanting to see you.
We have a lot to talk about.
Yes, we do.
Let's get it ready.
[dramatic music playing]
Leave my sister alone.
Tell me this isn't happening.
You lied to me, you surveilled me
and you kept me out of the loop
while you did unspeakable things.
So, you go to work for Baines?
Let him do this to me?
None of this is necessary, Henry.
We could just have
a normal conversation like adults.
I know you're in there.
Will you be answering
my questions, Samantha?
She looks pissed.
This should be interesting.
[over speakers] We're ready.
For the record
your name is Samantha Redmond?
To calibrate the machine.
Yes.
You go by the handle "Sinatra?"
I do.
Your husband's name is Tim?
Yes.
[Gabriela] Do you have children?
Yes, I'm a mother.
How many children do you have?
One living, one deceased.
Is that correct?
Yes.
Are you siphoning power
away from the bunker?
[children chattering faintly]
[Billy] Nice day out.
Looks like showers are coming our way.
So, I've been told
that you have experience
with this type of thing mostly overseas,
so I'm not sure how frequently you
Lady, you need to calm the fuck down
or I'm walking away.
Sorry.
You're not wearing a wire, are you?
No. Why would I be?
Well, I should probably
frisk you to be safe.
Relax. I'm fucking with you.
You want me to feel you up,
you gotta ask me for it.
[bag unzipping]
I just want you to convince him
to sign the papers
and sell me the company.
Nah, I've been told all that.
They say that path's a no-go.
Well, if he doesn't leave us
any other option,
then I guess
you'll just have to proceed
If you fucking say it out loud,
I'm leaving immediately.
Jesus Christ, lady,
you're really shitty at this.
Yeah, he's a cutie.
Really makes you think.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Ask her again.
Are you siphoning a great deal of power
and compromising the safety
of this bunker
for your own personal gain?
Dr. Torabi, don't you think
if I were to do such a thing,
you of all people would know about it?
I don't know, Samantha.
It seems I've been out of the loop
on a great many things.
Fair.
[Baines] Ask her again.
Are you ever gonna forgive me?
Are you siphoning power away
from the bunker
for your own personal gain?
No.
She's telling the truth.
- [Baines] This is bullshit!
- Sir
I am the president now
and you will give me the answers I need.
It's not your show anymore, Samantha!
Uh, sorry, sir.
I'm just I'm exhausted.
My memory is foggy.
You just dragged me
out of the hospital for this.
I am aware that you think
I'm a small man.
But I will remind you
that I am a two-term governor,
then Senator, then Vice President.
You don't get where I got by accident.
Do not underestimate me, Samantha.
I am in charge now.
And if you underestimate me,
you do so at your own peril.
Understand?
Yes, Mr. President.
Sir.
I just don't have
any good answers for you.
- I really just need time to rest.
- Enough!
Just stop with the bullshit!
Get her out of here. Take her home.
Put armed guards at the door.
[door closes]
That man needs a breath mint.
[tense music playing]
[music fades out]
- [patrons chattering]
- [announcer on TV]
[Billy sighs]
You're not a Buckeyes fan, are you?
- Sorry?
- I just got money on Kentucky.
Oh. Good luck.
Yeah, need it.
Uh, just have whatever he's having.
And another one for him.
- It's on me.
- [glass thuds]
- Thanks very much.
- Yes, sir.
- Cheers, my man.
- [glasses clinking]
- Santé.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, whatever you said.
You're shitting me.
I I didn't get a single word of that.
- Say that again.
- It's called "Advanced Wave Functions,
Superposition, and Quantum Entanglement."
And college kids
actually sign up for that?
Grad students mostly, but yeah.
That shit is way over my head, bro.
You are not alone.
It is over the heads of most.
There There's this one kid,
though, a brilliant young man,
at least 10 years younger
than anybody else in the class,
and he understands it perfectly,
like I have never seen before.
I Actually, I made him
a partner in my business.
We've made some
pretty great leaps together.
- Sounds like a pretty impressive kid.
- Yep.
Closest thing I've ever had to a son.
Before him, it was just me and my wife,
and we never had kids
of our own 'cause
Uh
Nah, I better, uh, slow down
on the whiskey
before I bore you
with my whole life story.
Mm.
This is nice, though, it was
It's nice meeting you.
Same here, pal. Good times.
I don't get to do this much
where I'm from.
Sit at a bar and make a new friend.
No bars in your town?
What'd you say?
That w That was only a joke.
Yeah.
[glass thuds]
What's this?
That is the easy way.
Need you to sign that.
There's a harder way.
But either road ends with her owning
whatever this little company of yours is.
And from what I understand,
this version makes you a very rich man.
There is a lot that you don't know.
Yeah, I'm a pretty simple guy.
You wanna sign that.
I'm not fucking around.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think that things happen
for a reason, or are they just random?
I don't know.
But I definitely have a gun
in my pocket for a reason.
Sign.
[tense music playing]
[paper rustling]
[sniffling, clearing throat]
- [tapping table]
- It was nice chatting with you.
It was a pleasure.
[paper rustling]
[Baines] That was a disaster.
Sir, it was just a start.
We will find what she's hiding.
But I thought we agreed, sir,
I was going to keep
the pressure on Samantha,
because that's what works
with her, it's persistence.
This house arrest is only
gonna agitate her further.
I'm the goddamn president
and nobody respects me.
Well, you can't let her
get under your skin like that, sir.
- You have to stay calm.
- Calm?
I am surrounded by these meathead agents.
I can't even go jogging
without notifying 17 people.
I thought you were amazing today, sir.
I mean, of course,
Sinatra was never gonna talk right away,
but the way you set her up
Sorry.
Continue.
No, I I'm sorry.
It's inappropriate of me to weigh in.
Way above my pay grade.
[Baines] Don't be silly.
I value your opinion.
Jane, right?
The girl who stopped Collins.
- [chuckles softly]
- No, listen to me.
You are smart and good at your job.
Believe me,
I'm a very good judge of character.
Thank you, Mr. President.
[dramatic music playing]
[crickets chirping]
Oh wow, real thin.
You gotta get it bubbling
on the surface
Mom? Why are those cops even here?
There's nothing to worry about.
Truly, the important thing
is we're all together.
Oh, thank you.
It's so nice to have you back,
Mrs. Redmond.
Carmen, how can I convince you
to call me Samantha?
Never have and never will, Mrs. Redmond.
Can I get you anything?
[Sinatra] How about a pot
with that special tea I like?
With pleasure.
What now?
Does that lunatic keep you
under house arrest just forever?
I don't know, hon. I'll figure it out.
Hm. You always do.
Honestly, forever house arrest
sounds pretty goddamn good
right about now.

Had a hell of a stressful day,
and I need to clear my head.
Is there a problem?
Sir, please give us a few minutes
to secure the neighborhood.
- Send an advance team up ahead
- Oh, would you stop.
I don't need an army
to run around the block a few times.
What I do need is some goddamn privacy.
I'll go with you, sir.
I'll stay far behind,
you won't even know I'm there.
Fine. And that's it.
Can't exactly clear my head
with a herd of brutes blocking my view.
[door opens]
I I'm so sorry to wake Mrs. Redmond.
Samantha.
Dr. Torabi is here.
[Gabriela] I'm sorry to come by so late.
I needed to talk to you.
No, of course. I'm surprised you made it
past the militia Baines sent.
[chuckles] Oh. I got clearance.
'Course.
I I brought you this.
[gasps] Wow. [chuckles]
Look how young we were.
[Gabriela] Do you remember
when that was taken?
Yeah, Necker Island.
It was the first planning retreat
we had for this place.
It was just me
and a bunch of billionaires.
I stuck out like a sore thumb.
God, that trip was amazing.
- We drank a lot.
- Yeah, we did.
- [laughing] A lot.
- A lot.
I'm grateful to you for coming by here.
Giving me another chance.
You know, when I was a kid,
my dad had this beautiful
1967 Pontiac Firebird.
That thing was a beast.
Five-speed, 400-cubic-inch engine
with dual exhaust and headers.
I only know this because
he said it all the damn time.
It was impressive [chuckles]
when it was working, which was
almost never.
I swear, for the better part
of my childhood,
the view I saw the most of my dad
was the bottom of his feet
sticking out from underneath that thing.
Then one day, this kid shows
with a handful of cash.
I guess my dad had put an ad
in the paper or something.
And I thought he'd be sad
to let that goddamn car go, but
he smiled.
He patted the kid on the shoulder,
and he said, "Good luck, kiddo."
And he never looked back.
I guess at some point, some things
just aren't worth fixing anymore.
Anyway.
[clearing throat]
Good luck, kiddo.
[Presley] I just don't get it.
Why didn't Jeremy leave a note today?
It's not like him.
I didn't want you to get in trouble.
What do you mean?
Don't be mad.
Uh, I'm gonna be mad
if you don't tell me right now.
There was a note, but I threw it away.
Dude, why would you do that?!
It's just, Mom's gone,
and now Dad's gone too,
and it's just You're all I have left.
[sighs] James.
Look, I'm not going anywhere, okay?
Now, tell me what it said.
It said to meet him
at the edge of the world at 6 p.m.
James, that was, like, an hour ago.
[James] I know, I'm sorry!
[tense music playing]
[vehicle approaching]
I'm Jeremy Bradford.

- I think you've been looking for me.
[police officer]
We have. Keep your hands up.
'Kay, let's move.
[radio chatter]
[mouthing] I'm sorry.
Copy.

This is my wife.
She's been like this for quite a while.
That's why we never had kids,
why my genius young protégé
is the closest thing I've had to one.
Huntington's disease,
it is the motherfucker of motherfuckers
when it comes to diseases.
She's been sick for so long
hardly remember when she wasn't.
We used to travel. We loved to travel.
And in the days leading up to the trip,
I would be obsessed
with the weather report.
I would worry that the rain
was gonna spoil
all of our plans, you know?
50% chance of rain,
I'd find myself getting so upset.
But my lovely, beautiful wife,
well, she would remind me
that a 50% chance of rain
also means a 50% chance of sun.
Two sides of the same coin.
It's really just
"glass half full," but
[whispering] it was our version.
It was our version.
[gentle music playing]
[labored breathing]
[exhaling slowly]
[whispering] I'll see ya soon my love.
Goodbye, Alex.
I asked you before if you think
that things happen for a reason.
Do you think that you're here
by random happenstance,
or are you here
because you are supposed to be here
with Alex and me?
Fuck if I know, bro.
50% chance of rain, 50% chance of sun.
Today, I am choosing
to believe in the sun.
Today, I am choosing to believe
that it all worked.
That you are supposed to be here.
In which case
you may need this.
I ask only one favor of you,
my new friend.
When the boy comes, let him go.
Do not harm him.
It is not hyperbole to say
that the fate of the world
may depend on it.
[breathing deeply]
You have kind eyes.
I see the sun in them.
Please just make it
[silenced gunshot]
[body thuds]
- [high-pitched ringing]
- [sighs]
[high-pitch ringing fades]
Do not go in there.
You were never here.
I was never here.
Nod if you understand me.
This project is over,
and those people in there are gone.
So, you need to run.
Far away as you can.
And remember
I know it might not
seem like it right now
but this was the luckiest day
of your fucking life.

[Billy sighs]
[Billy] It's done.
- [Sinatra] So, he's
- It's done.
[Billy sighs]
If it helps you sleep any better,
what you did will save people.
[Billy scoffs]
Billions of people.
Lady, I sleep like shit no matter what.
And so, in the future, if I should
need additional services?
Christ, woman, one minute
you're shaking like a leaf,
then you wanna talk about
the frequent customer program?
- It's not like that.
- Tenth job's free, by the way.
I can get you a punch card.
[sighs] If you need me again,
all I need's a name and a photograph.
- That's it?
- Yep.
You just say they need a breath mint.
I'll take care of the rest.
[panting] This is the stuff, Jane.
I already feel my stress melting away.
- Glad to hear it, sir.
- Yeah.
Are you sure we shouldn't
walk a little, Mr. President?
Sure. If you need a break.
[sighs] God, it feels good
to burn off steam.
Honestly, Jane,
you can't begin to imagine
problems and pressures of being
the most important man in the world.

See, I designed it all. God forgive me.
Good.

How have you been, Carmen?
[Carmen] I've been fine.
It, uh, it was a very scary time
with you in the hospital.
And how is Alex?
Alex is well.
The power problem has been resolved?
Oh, yes, I made sure of that.
[Carmen] Good.
[Sinatra] Any other messages?
Do they have an estimate?
[Carmen] No messages.
[Sinatra] [over computer]
And the estimate?
[Carmen] [over computer]
It's too unpredictable.
But she is getting closer.
[Sinatra]
I'll have to live with "closer."
