Previously on "Aftermath"...

Is this really the time?

3 million people are gone, including my father, Karen. I need to know what happened.

Are those people?

No, no, don't tell me those are people.

Oh, my God, it's here!


[coughing]

We need tetra.

Stop! Dad, stop!

I'm not gonna give up on your father.

[man screaming]

No one survives.

I never thought I'd die by the moon like this.

I thought I'd die by poison kiss.

On my way out of town, roof all the way down.

But me and you and everyone are over and done.

Chips off the old block of a rock in the sky will rain on down.

We got 36 hours to get out of town.

But there's nowhere to go.

So love who you love and remove all your doubt.

Let your last times roll on.

Let your madness roll out.

[murmuring indistinctly]

There's two of her.

Yeah, she'll be riding six white horses when she comes.


There's two of her! [laughing]

[groaning]

Ponaturi's gonna get you.

Ponaturi's gonna get you! Ponaturi's gonna get you!

All right. All right.

Listen to my voice. It's Karen, Josh.

Karen. I should've married that girl.

Yep. You did.

Is there anything I can do?

[grunting]

[speaking incoherently]

Okay. Shh.

I'm getting out of here!

Okay.

Lie down. Lie down.

Daddy?

I'm not lying down.

Daddy? Daddy, Daddy, shh.

Do you remember when I was little and I couldn't sleep, and you'd come into my room and lay with me?

Oh. Oh.

It's just like that.

Do you remember that?

Babies are sleeping.

That's right. They are.

Shh.

Babies are sleeping.

[crying] I can't do this. I can't watch this.

Babies are...

We have to get tetra.

Where?

Everywhere we've looked is looted for miles.

I found propofol.

What is it?

It's an anesthetic.

We're gonna give him an anesthetic?

It'll put him into a medically induced coma.

Well, you're a doctor now?

We have to try something.

Dana, we can't put him into a coma.

He's a danger to others, including us, Bree.

No, he's not.

At the very least, he's a danger to himself.

True.

If we put him under, it could slow down the disease, and it gives us time to find tetra.

This is really dangerous. And we need syringes.

I got those too.

Of course.

If we give him too much, he could die.

What do you think he's doing right now?

[eerie music]

I can't tell what's happening.

We don't know what's happening yet, Christine, but panic has swept the city for ten minutes now, and...

Go! Get out of here!

Oh, my God.

And who will say that...

Oh, my God. Are those people?

No, no, don't tell me those are people.

Oh, my God, it's here!

Oh, Jesus, it's here! Aah!

Tell everyone it's here!


Oh, my God. Are those people?

No, no, don't tell me those are people.

Oh, my God, it's here!

Oh, Jesus, it's here! Aah!

Tell everyone it's here!

But the many are one!

[exhales]

But the many are one.

What, where...

[ominous music]

What... oh, God.

Okay.

But the many are one.

[breathing heavily] But the many...

But the many... but the many... But the many are one?

But the many...

Got you.

Where'd you come from?

Seattle.

Bullshit.

How'd you get here?

I don't know.

I... I don't remember.

You're coming with us.

No. No, I'm not.

You're showing signs of plague.

We don't let Feverheads in. Come on.

No! Who are you people?

Board of Health.

What?

Let's go!

No! What?

Come on!

Oh, God.

Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

His breathing's fine. That's what we need to watch out for.

How do you know that?

Michael Jackson's autopsy report.

You don't like Michael Jackson.

No, but I like autopsy reports.

Okay, Matt and I are gonna go find tetra or die trying.

Figure of speech.

You guys stay here, keep your dad breathing, and be careful.

If he starts to wake up, we may have to give him more.

As little as possible, Dana.

Yeah, of course.

Don't worry. It's gonna be fine.

[g*nf*re] [screams]

Doc!

Doc, it's us.

We got one!

Please, you have to help me!

Shut up.

Where'd you find her?

Peach Street. Those abandoned houses.

She doesn't look sick.

I'm not sick.

She was talking weird. Says she came from Seattle.

I am. I am. I'm from Seattle.

All right. I'll examine her.

Right this way, Miss Seattle.

No, no, no, you have no right.

I've got all the right in the world.

What? Oh, okay, okay, okay.

[whimpering]

[door slams]

Think we'll get to do it?

It's up to the doc. Let's keep looking.

All right.

We're okay.

For now.

This is weird, Dana.

Us watching him when he's sick.

Role reversal.

Do you remember when we were little and we got hoof and mouth disease?

Hand, foot, and mouth disease.

I don't know.

Not that it sounds any better.

What, we were, like, six, maybe?

Seven.

Such a pain in the ass.

Hey, someone's got to keep things straight.

You remember how you were, like, super scared to fall asleep because you thought if you did you were gonna die?

I got bad information.

And then Dad would come in and lay on the floor of our room.

Yeah.

Didn't he tell us, like, a story about a spider invasion or something?

[laughs] "Charlotte's Web"?

I don't know. I was so sick.

And we were, like, six years old.

Seven.

Same thing.

Dad always had the best stories.

Yeah, he did.

A lot of creepy myths, though.

[laughs]

Dana, do you really think he's gonna be okay?

Yeah. Yeah, he has to be.

There's a hospital down that way and a drug store down that way.

I'd rather not split up.

We're gonna have to if we want to cover everything.

Yeah. Okay.

I'll take the hospital.

You take the drug store. We'll meet back here at the car.

Got it. Let's... have a sign.

You find the tetra, you don't wait for me.

You put this in the windshield.

Okay, good.

I'll know you're at home.

You do the same.

Got it. You be careful.

You too.

Okay.

Let's get you nice and comfortable.

Any fever or vomiting?

No.

Feel sick at all?

No. I just keep hearing the same words over and over.

And what's that?

But the many are one.

What was that?

But the many are one.

Huh. That's different.

Okay, let's take a look inside.

Open wide.

Huh.

Well, there's no blood.

I'd say you're clear.

Clear? Clear of what?

Plague.

What kind of plague?

Where you been?

I wish I knew.

Brain fever.

The rumor is 1/3 of the Earth has already d*ed from it.

Our town was just about wiped out, so if you had been sick...

[suspenseful music]

It wouldn't be good.

What does that mean?

Well, we can't have any chance of infection, so we round up any Feverheads we find, and...

Force them out of town?

Eliminate them.

And... and you're in charge of this?

Last surviving medical man.

So you say you came here from Seattle?

Yeah.

Well, Seattle's gone.

Gone?

What do you mean, "gone"?

I mean the buildings are there. The people are gone.

I was one of those people. What happened? I...

How did I end up in...

Where are we?

Idaho.

How did I end up in Idaho?

Beats me.

I...

I got to... I got to get out of here.

Then there should be more of us looking, Dana.

Well, we can't leave Dad.

Yeah, you can't. I can.

Oh, no, no. No, do not start with this, Bree.

Dana, I am useless here, okay? You know what you're doing.

Not really.

Well, more than I do.

That's it. I'm gonna go look.

How?

There's a car in the driveway.

You don't have the keys.

Then I'll hotwire it.

You know how to do that?

Fortunately, yes, I do.

Keep our dad alive. Safety's off.

Don't do this.

Take the g*n, Dana.

I'll be back.

Come on, Bree.

Elizabeth!

Lizzie!

No, I'm not... I'm not...

Have you seen Barry?

You're not Elizabeth.

No. Sorry.

You look like her. I'm so stupid.

No, no, don't. Don't worry about it.

She's dead now. Weeks ago.

It's terrible times.

Tetracycline. Do you have tetracycline or know where I can get some?

Most of this town d*ed of plague. There's none left.

But have you seen my husband?

No. Sorry.

He's my age. Pajamas.

His glasses are broken, taped together.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I got to go.

His name's Barry.

Okay. I'm sorry.

He's acting strange, but he doesn't have plague.

Well, that's a good thing, right?

See, he went to Seattle on business.

Please. Please.

He went to Seattle?

I didn't see him for weeks.

People say Seattle's gone.

Yeah. Yeah. Empty, actually.

Some say it was the rapture, but Seattle's not all that holy that they'd get taken up.

Right.

But... but I was right.

Barry came back last night.

Honey, I got to go.

Barry came back!

What do you mean he came back?

In bed. With me. I never even heard him come in.

He came back?

He doesn't remember anything, and he says something's coming!

Be cool. We be going. Be cool.

Get out.

Where is Dad? How is he?

[yelling] How is he?

He knocked out Dana and he ran off.

He's gone, Mom. He's gone.

He's gone.

[shaky breathing]

He can't be.

Mom, Sarah has tetra.

I don't have much, but it's yours.

[speaking indistinctly]

All right, all right, look. Look.

We're gonna go one block apart, okay?

At every intersection, look left and right.

We're gonna go north-south first, then east-west.

Dana, that way. Mom, that way.

Bree this way. Me and Sarah are going this way.

Be careful!

Josh!

[muttering]

Come on, please.

My name is Audrene. What's your name?

[mutters]

Do some research...

[muttering]

Okay. Okay now.

That thing. That thing you said back there.

The... the one...

[coughs]

The one...

The one is many.

Yeah.

Where did you hear that?

Um...

I don't know.

[mutters]

Okay, did someone teach it to you?

Huh?

No one taught me either. I just...

I just woke up with those words in my head.

"But the many are one."

The one are many.

But the many are one.

Were you in Seattle when it happened?

You're the girl on TV.

Yeah.

You were?

Yeah. That's right. I'm a reporter.

I'm a reporter. And then there was this thing, something in the sky, and it was all white, but like it wasn't there.

It took everybody, swallowed us up.

Mm.

Yeah.

And then I was back.

I woke up here, and I had those words in my head.

"But the many are one."

Where did you go?

I don't know.

No, that's not true. I... I went nowhere.

No place.

No time.

I don't know why I'm telling you this.

It's important, I think.

Yeah, it's important. That's right.

Yeah.

It's important.

Yeah.

[breathing heavily]

Oh, God damn it.

Josh!

Hi. Hi. Hi.

[panting]

I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I have tetra.

You're gonna be fine, Josh. Take it. Take it. Take it, baby.

You're gonna take it and you're gonna swallow it and you're gonna be fine. You're gonna be just fine.

Come on. Swallow it, sweetie.

You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine.

Don't! Don't!

He's getting tetra. He's gonna be fine!

I know him. He's a good man.

He's... he is a good man.

He's a good man and he's a wise man.

That's right.

You're that reporter from Seattle.

Swallow it, baby.

If he could just focus.

Swallow it, honey.

He knows things.

Swallow that.

And I know things, and maybe we could figure this out.

You hear that, honey? You're gonna figure it out.

You know things. You guys...

[whooshing] Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

No!

Oh, oh, no!

Josh, I got to get us out of here. Honey.

Are you feeling better?

Yeah.

Yeah. The tetra's working.

Sorry if I...

What are you reading? What is that?

These are Gloria Douglas's research.

They're punch cards from the 1970s.

So you need a '70s computer to read them.

Yeah. Do you have one?

Not handy.

You guys, maybe Bob Black is on.

Don't you hate him?

Yeah, but he seems to know things, and he might know how much of the fragment field is gonna hit us.

Yeah, 'cause we all want to know that.

[radio static]

With the jazz from Alcatraz, the Moondog, who howls without a home these days, since his old one on the moon blew up.

I'm reminding you about that lunar landing, baby, and I'm not talking Wild Buzz Aldrin, either, fine a man and prophet as he is.

I'm talking a totally different trip.

Ooh, crowds are hip like those impacts when the loony lunar hardballs come busting down on Earth in two days' time, my chimes, surprise, surprise, surprise.


Two days?

But just because we're gonna die don't mean our contest was a lie.

Just remember the Moondog Mystery Phrase, and you could go from sinner to winner.

Say it loud and say it proud and you'll be done: The one is many, but the many are one.

[static]


That's it. That's it.

That's what?

That's the key.

We have to find him. He understands how to survive.

We have to find Bob Black.

Everyone pack up. We're going.

Ain't no point, wishing on them sh**ting stars lightning up the heavens pilgrim.

Those are the first traces of the hard rain are coming.

*** on the final event.
