Hey, Korvo, you care
if I take a Tiki nap in here?
I don't know why it's easier to drink
and sleep on the couch than in bed.
But it is.
Go ahead, Terry.
I'm just using the peace and quiet
to re-catalogue
all 10,000 data spikes.
It's so relaxing.
[door slams open]
[grunting, lasers firing]
Terry, Korvo!
Jesse got eyeliner
all over my holocron,
and now it won't work!
I'm experimenting with eyebrows!
Stop judging us
with your facial hair!
What on Gorb's Grey Grible
is going on here!?
[shouting over each other]
and a landing strip like Staci K!
Shut up!
Why aren't you at school?
Double duh, school's closed.
Oh great, what is it this time?
Another one of
their meaningless holidays
like Apple Pie Day
or Yom Kapper?
No, it's summer. We learned
about it last year, remember?
The whole ice lava thing?
No, what?
I guess we'll just have
to stomach one extra day
of you two taking up
our adult space.
Probably better than you
being molested at that school.
Summer break's
three months long.
[spits]
Aw man.
Three months?
That's like one 90 Day Fiancé!
Yeah, and you better not be riding
our crack like this the whole time.
Summer is when we get to do
anything we want.
- Like a screaming competition.
- Go!
[both screaming]
This summer thing is not going
to work for me, Terry.
It's worse than the nightmare
on Helms Street,
which is what they call the time
a Port-a-Potty emptying truck
tipped over
on Ed Helms' private drive.
Such a waste of poop.
I don't want
the replicants at home!
I can't take three months
of this, Terry!
I like them for 45 minutes
in the morning
and maybe a couple of hours
at night, tops.
Well, we obviously have
to kill the replicants.
It does make the most sense.
We can always grow new ones.
Let's do it quick,
before we get too attached to these.
What are we talkin', poison?
Put 'em in a bag
and throw them in a quarry?
I was thinking we could maybe
just shave some glass into their food.
I could use my pillow as a silencer
and shoot them in their sleep?
Right in their fuckin' face.
Or use the pillow
for a good old-fashioned smothering.
Just like the ones we see
on TV and movies, Terry.
Looks like the Solar Opposites
are killing their replicants!
Um, excuse me.
Hi, Terry. Korvo.
I couldn't help but overhear you debating
different ways to kill your children.
- That is correct.
- Mind your own business,
you old bowl of soup.
Why don't you just send them
to summer camp?
Pretend we don't know anything
and walk us through it.
Thank God this camp thing came up.
Jesse and I were just about
to kill you guys.
What? We were about
to kill you guys too!
That is so funny.
Great minds think alike!
ALL: [chanting]
Camp! Camp! Camp!
Camp! Camp! Camp!
TERRY:
Hey! It's a camp thing!
KORVO:
Planet Shlorp was a perfect utopia.
Until the asteroid hit.
One hundred adults and their replicants
were issued a Pupa
and escaped into, uh, the space,
searching for new homes
on uninhabited worlds.
We crashed on Earth, stranding us
on an already overpopulated planet.
That's right,
I've been talking this whole time.
I'm the one holding the Pupa.
My name's Korvo.
This is this is my show.
I just dropped the Pupa. Do you see me?
[stammers]
This is ridiculous.
I hate Earth.
It's a horrible home.
People are stupid.
I don't understand
why people like daylight so much.
It's so loud
when it hits your skin.
♪
YUMYULACK:
Ooh, ooh, camp sounds amazing.
I'm excited to use
my bounty hunting skills
to hunt down and torture those
who have captured the flag.
And I'm excited
for a sexual awakening.
I heard last year Julia Howland
went to camp a girl
and came back a woman.
But then it turned out
it actually was a woman
and they never found Julia's body.
Crazy, huh?
Well, I'm excited to perform something
from Angels in America on talent night.
I took out all the gay stuff
and doubled the angels.
You're not going to camp, Terry!
The whole point is that
we're gonna have the house to ourselves.
Are you still Tiki drunk?
- No. [slurping]
- Terry, t-take your next left.
[tires squealing]
[dramatic music playing]
[thudding]
[bird screeches]
[tires squealing]
- This is camp?
- No, don't be dumb.
It's much, much deeper
in the woods.
Okay, guys, remember:
we parked by trees.
Halt. This is camp.
Goodbye, we're leaving. Good luck.
Wha it-it looks the same
as where we parked.
Yeah, this just feels like
the regular old woods.
Where's camp?
We talked to our creepy, bitchy neighbor
for almost five minutes about this,
so I know for sure
that this is camp.
We leave you here
for two or three weeks,
and you learn to swim or some shit,
and then we come pick you up.
The end.
- Done and done.
- Cool, works for me.
We'll visit over parents' weekend.
Okay, bye.
No, we won't. Terry, are you sure
the car is this way?
I took four units of pathfinding
at the academy
to prepare for life
on dangerous alien worlds.
I think I can walk us
out of the woods.
[eagle screeches]
What the fuck, Terry?
Just admit it, we're lost!
It's just up here, I promise.
Camp sucks, there's not even
a flag to capture.
Hey, how long does it take
to sexually awaken?
I whittled a boyfriend to grind on,
you know, for when it happens.
This is Nate Jacobs.
We met at his bark-mitzvah.
- Can we just go home?
- Yes.
- Except we're lost.
- I knew it!
All because you couldn't stop drinking
those stupid Tiki drinks.
They're not stupid! I find my way
out of the woods better when I'm drunk.
You ever even had any of these?
This one's from a coconut.
- [Korvo grunts]
- Aw!
How can we possibly be lost?
We have access to the most sophisticated
tracking equipment in the quadrant.
I left it in the car, okay.
We're going to be trapped here
until we die,
and I'll never get to have
a 500 Days of Summer quirky romance
with a manic pixie dream boy!
Everybody calm down.
I'm an expert trailblazer.
We just have to follow
the dimmest star,
it'll always lead
directly South.
[owl hoots]
All the stars are dim
on this stupid planet!
[gasps] Why is there
a branch through my shoulder?
Because you said
if we didn't eat soon
you were going to ram a branch
through your shoulder.
And that was six weeks ago.
Oh right, yeah,
I guess I'm in shock.
♪
There's no question anymore,
we have a serial killer on our hands.
Whoa, we're going straight
to judging people
just because of five
identical murders?
I'm not convinced.
I still think a cricket did it.
A cricket?
Could a cricket kill
five random men,
surgically remove their organs,
and place their corpses
in the shape of a winky face?
Have you seen Pinocchio?
[snickers] Yeah. Who knows
what they could accomplish
if they put their minds
to murdering.
Or worse, their legs.
Ooh, what if it's
two crickets working together?
Or one original homicidal cricket
and then a copy cricket.
Can I just throw out there
that we probably just have
one regular human murderer
and not two
genius-level killer crickets.
You're letting
your imagination run wild.
You're not an executive story editor
on the hit FOX drama Bones anymore.
This is real life.
These are real people
we're talking about,
not characters played by
the eminently watchable Emily Deschanel.
Are you even listening to me?
No, if there's one thing
I learned on Bones,
it's never get between Boreanaz
and second dinner.
But another thing was:
go with your gut.
And my gut says
we gotta move fast.
Nate! Mwah! Mwah!
Nate, you're back. I missed you.
Oh! Nate!
Not in front of my family.
- We're back where we started?
- Are we gonna die out here?
Wait, I can't die yet!
We haven't even finished
our camp story arc.
What happens with all that?
That's not how life works,
we're not on TV.
We're starving to death
in the woods.
We don't have time to learn
the value of sharing or whatever.
So now instead of camp,
it's just a lost in the woods story?
Would you stop trying
to make it a story?
We are lost
in the woods, though!
Not for long,
we have one more option.
It's typically reserved to survive
the most barren, inhospitable planets,
but desperate times
call for desperate measures.
Yumyulack, it's time.
- Ohh!
- Are you sure?
We're dying, we have to.
Uhh what are you
talking about?
The Emergency Urbanizer.
It's a life raft for the land.
We only have one of these,
we can never do it again.
Quit wasting time, Yumyulack.
We all know the stakes.
They've been tapped multiple times.
Just do it.

Good episode. Bobby Cannavale

Wow, I didn't know
crickets could use paper.

- Freeze! Get him! Get him!
- Ah!
[spits, gasps]
He was not!
ENRIQUE: Yuh-huh, he was
totally reaching for something!
We saved your life!
A "thank you" would be nice.
We could have
brought him in alive!
Wait, whoa, whoa. Wait, whoa!
We didn't discuss that at all.
We thought we were supposed
to staple him immediately.
You should be happy
your theory was right.
It wasn't a cricket after all.
And we got him!

- SONNY: Oh yeah! Ha ha ha!

Howdy, I'm wood actor
Wooden Harrelson,
star of the upcoming film
Now You Three Me:
Escape from the Pokerverse.
Welcome to The Wooden City,
the most exciting,
actually growing city in the world.
The Wooden City
is just like a regular city,
except algorithmically generated
from materials available
in the woods.
Except the animals.
[growls]
They are real,
and they will kill you.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have an 8:30 at Dorsia.
That's right, it's not
all forest puns here.
The good news: we're not lost
in the woods anymore.
The bad news: we're now lost
in a giant big wooden city.
[wolf howling]
We just need to make
enough money to rent a car
so we can drive back
to where we parked our actual car
and get the hell out of here.
Let's split up and all get jobs.
That way, it'll go faster.
But shouldn't we stick together?
No. It would be faster
if we all went and got our own jobs
and made money
as fast as possible.
This isn't a game.
It's survival.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Now the story isn't about camp
or being lost in the woods,
it's about surviving
in the big city?
Yeah, or it could be
a Godzilla story,
so keep your eyes open.
Okay, I have a ton of notes.
This is gonna be awesome!
We're in the big city!
You can be anything
you want out here:
super hero, politician, orthodontist.
I'm going to be
a famous ten-figure actor
and then maybe retire
as a two-figure voice actor.
Come on, kid, what have you
always wanted to be?
What's your craziest dream?
Spill it, we're all havin' fun.
I have always wanted
to work in fashion.
I'm gonna work in finance because
I've always wanted to be a shit head.
That a boy, dream big.
Okay, you all have
your big city stories now.
Remember, we just need money
to get a car to get to our car.
What are you gonna do?
I-I don't know yet, so I'm just gonna
walk around and look for a sign.
Everyone, meet back here tonight
with all the money we've earned!

What doesn't feel right

No. I meant next audition.
You were wildly talentless
in every way
except making us feel
embarrassed for you.
Are you serious?
I'm embarrassed for you
that you can't see generational talent
when it's right in front
of your fuckin' faces!
Sweetie, the only chance you have
at being referred to as "talent"
is if you become
a prostitute.
A prostitute!? Ha! I would never.

A-a-alright, okay.
Four bucks, clock's off,

My one request is that
you get me drunk first.
Or I can do it sober, whatever.

You guys came?
It's good to see you.
How's everyone doing?
Me? Oh I'm doing great.
Started a big hedge fund,
got an office at the top
of the Squirrel Trade Center,
played by the rules.
Nice guys finish first.
What else can I say?
No major issues personally
or professionally.
Ditto for me.
Built myself a sweet little career
in the customer service industry.
I'm my own boss
so I set my own hours,
come and go as I please.
Taking some risks
with my attire, so be it.
Who the fuck
are you to judge?
No judgments here.
For I am
- Bleeding?
- Bleeding? No, this is,
uh, party sauce.
I'm doing great also,
so don't question me.
Fell in with
a great group of guys.
We mostly do, uh, construction.
My best friends are Jimmy The Trigger,
Ronny Kills-A-Lot,
and Guido The Stone Cold Psycho.
I'm very happy for you all.
Because, as you can see,
I've reached the pinnacle
of the fashion world.
All my dreams have come true,
and I've never been happier.
I love it here.

no, I mean a team skeeting

Bleh, I'm shattering

I should go as well.
I'm pretty heavily party saucing.
L-losing strength
Wait! Guys!
The truth is, it may look like
I'm doing well on the outside,
but I'm very lonely.
I miss you guys.
I know we're all deep
into our separate lives,
but I'd like it
if you could stay.
I mean,
just for a little.
To be honest, I flew
too close to the sun.
By which I mean
committed several financial crimes.
Plus I got divorced,
company got raided by the FBI,
and all my coworkers
killed themselves.
I'm hurt real bad.
I just wanted to be a gangster,
but I kept getting attacked by wolves.
I know this may come as a huge shock,
but I haven't been honest either.
I'm a sex worker, and I let
lonely tree men pay to fuck me.
We got so wrapped up
surviving in the big city,
getting sucked into our new lives,
but are any of us
really happy?
I was happier when we were
just a regular alien team.
Not just a team, a team family.
We all lost sight of our goal:
making enough money
to get back to our old life
so we could all be
together again.
We've picked our path,
and we can never go home again.
Um, guys?
The city's on fire.
KORVO: Jesus Christ,
it's that flaming wolf that ran off!
