Look, you know family doesn't matter anymore, right?
Good to see you.
It's kind of good to see you.
What if he's one of those... What'd you call them, skinwalkers?
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Matt!
Show yourself!
Hey, it's 5h40 in the morning.
You should go back to bed.
It's still the end of the world.
We'll be safe in Seattle.
What if Brianna isn't there?
She will be.
What if she's not?
She will be.
She will be. You got to have faith.
[sighs] I hate that argument.
I could hear you snoring back there.
You did not.
Yeah, I did.
Yeah, it was cute. It sounded like two people.
Knock it off.
It did.
It was like a Marine snore.
[chuckles]
That was somebody else.
You should go back to bed.
Don't tell me what to do.

What do you...
You said k*lled, which breaks the commandment.
And then you said... well, I can't repeat what you said, but it was a vulgar word for a part of the body that God made you in.
And then you sinned against the God that made you.
Well, I'm not quite sure that's it, Mary.
Okay, so what I'm getting is that you're mad at me for talking about my butt.
Stop it!

Well, I... I guess.
Okay, look, I need someone with me until I get back to my family, so either it's you, or I get back on the highway.
Now, are you gonna be weird with me?
What's the right answer?
It's not, Devyn.
You're not gonna be weird with me.
Okay.
I'm not gonna be weird with you.

Can you handle that?
Yeah.

This is my grandfather's garden.
Well, he doesn't need these anymore, sweetie. We do.

La, la, la, la, la.
Her eyes... Her eyes were all wrong.
They... they were different colors.
We need to get a rabies vaccine ASAP.
Where, a doctor?
Does that hurt?
Yeah.
Okay, let's make that happen.
You're... you're sure she was rabid?
Oh, honey, she was foaming. Yeah.

Got it.
And don't open that door unless it's Brianna.
[scoffs] Count on it.
Okay, babe.
Why do you have a g*n?
I was separated from my family.
That was careless.
Did they give you the g*n?
No.
I... I couldn't even begin to explain it.
Just forget it.
You've suffered.
Who hasn't?
I don't know if you've noticed out here, but the world's kind of falling apart.
That's not a thing to be feared.
Mary...
Well, it isn't.
Trials will lead to mercy.
You'll see.
That's the compact.
All of this proceeds to order in its time.
Look, I need to get to Seattle, all right?
My family's waiting for me at my grandpa's house. And... two weeks ago, I would've gagged if I had to do that. All right?
And now I can't wait to be there.
What?
The Reverend Brother went to Seattle two days ago.
Some of the brethren had gone to market.
They didn't come back.
Seattle is not a place people should go right now.
It's come to my attention that you have a w*apon.
Who told you that?
Give it to me.
Yeah, I think I'll take a pass on that one.
Give it to me or it will be taken from you, and you'll be removed from our community.
Fine.
Mary.
You know I'm gonna need that back.
It could keep me alive.
All weapons are forbidden.
Yeah, well, I'm not kidding. You're getting it back for me.
Uh, is it okay if I use this?
Maybe go outside for some privacy.
Yeah, okay.
Had enough.
Sally said that if we don't get the meds by the end of the day, then Dana's really gonna be in trouble.
Well, shouldn't be hard.
The city's empty.
Yeah, until the looters get here.
Hey, right there.
Medical clinic.

Come on.
You know, I don't have any service, and I should probably save my battery anyway, so forget it.
It's fine. Don't want to cause any trouble.
You'll be safe here...
As long as you need.
This is a time of mercy.
Of course she may stay.
So you grew up here, huh?
What was that like?
Uneventful.
Kind of sounds nice, considering everything that's going on.
Try 15 years of it.
[chuckles]
Got it.
You're kidding.
Yep.
Oh, my God, four doses.

You ever heard of a Ponaturi?
Yeah. Where'd you pick that up?
Just one of Grandpa's books, you know.
What else was I gonna do? It was...
Like a South Sea, uh, kind of a sea goblin creature.
It's a Maori legend.
Oh.
It's amphibious. It lives under the water, and at night it comes to the land to sleep.
And it'll suck your bones out...
Take them back to the ocean.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
It was one of your grandpa's favorites.
Whenever I did anything he didn't like, he'd always tell me that, "The Ponaturi's gonna come get you, suck your bones out tonight."
Used to frighten the hell out of me when I was a little kid.
Your grandpa always had a way of taking it too far.
Next you're gonna tell me you saw one.

Yeah.

Matt, my battery's dying.
Okay, speak faster. Where?
The site is near Redmond, and Road 18 connects there with 204 East.
204 East.
Turn north there, and head towards Sultan.
To Sultan.
Yes.
Okay, got it.
Matt?
And Bri...
Matt, Matt, you're breaking up.
Bri!
Bri! [line beeping]
"I'm giving you whatever you want most in the world."
Matt?
Did you get through?
Yeah, I did for a second.
They know where I am now, Devyn. They're coming for me.
Good.
[RV horn honks]
Okay, let's go.
Where is she?
She's at a commune off Road 18. Okay, um, head to Redmond; cut east for about ten miles.
That's great.
So, I mean, how did she sound?
Great.
Good.
She was bossy.
She was bossy.
Old Brianna.
That's a good sign.
Where's Mom?
She's asleep in the back.
She's had a big night.
I bet.
How are you?
Pretty quiet until she called.
Thank God. Thank God she called.
You ever heard of a Ponaturi?
Yeah. Where'd you pick that up?
Just one of Grandpa's books, you know.
What else was I gonna do? It was...
Like a South Sea, uh, kind of a sea goblin creature.
It's a Maori legend.
Oh.
It's amphibious. It lives under the water, and at night it comes to the land to sleep.
And it'll suck your bones out...
Take them back to the ocean.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
It was one of your grandpa's favorites.
Whenever I did anything he didn't like, he'd always tell me that, "The Ponaturi's gonna come get you, suck your bones out tonight."
Used to frighten the hell out of me when I was a little kid.
Your grandpa always had a way of taking it too far.
Next you're gonna tell me you saw one.
[laughs]
Yeah.
Wouldn't be surprised.
Everyone, the Reverend Brother's back!
[indistinct chatter]
Devyn brought an outside girl here, and she attracted a flying beast.
No, she didn't.
It's possible she controls the beast.
It carried off one of our cows.
This is crazy.
We are told the final days will be a time of upheaval.
We are called to charity for its victims.
