JOE: He's gone.
- FRANNIE: Who is?
- The Dark Man.
Can you see him?
Can you see...
can you see Stu, Joe?
Joe, tell me, can you see Stu?
Can...
Oh, sh*t.
FRANNIE: I wish I could tell you every story has a happy ending.
Truth is, most stories don't end at all.
Not really.
Feels like every day we're making progress.
But the question is where are we headed, and how much farther do we have to go before we get there?
How long before we go from rebuilding back to just living again?
And how long after that before this place goes back to being just like before?
Sometimes it feels like Captain Trips was like flipping a breaker switch.
Everything's new, a chance to do it all different.
But every day I wonder... will we?
Will we do anything different this time?
Can we, even?
Are we capable?
Which brings me to you.
(BABY CRYING)
When you got here, you were perfect.
Seven pounds, six ounces of everything I never knew I always wanted.
Everyone broke out the liquor.
Just about all the booze we'd been hoarding, raised in a toast to you, to the future you promised.
It was a hell of a party.
And then...
(BABY COUGHING)
Dr.
Wen and I tried telling each other it was probably just croup or something.
Even regular flu.
Anything but that.
But then, your neck started to swell.
As soon as it was clear you had Trips, we all asked ourselves the question.
.
billion people caught Captain Trips.
.
billion people d*ed.
Not one person recovered.
There was no hope.
How could we let you suffer?
I hate that the notion ever crossed my mind, but it feels important to tell you that it did.
(BABY COUGHING)
But there was no way.
I just couldn't.
I know Glen would say it was selfish to let you keep suffering to spare my conscience.
Maybe he'd be right.
I don't know.
No one had ever heard of someone improving once they caught Trips.
Everyone we'd seen or heard about just got worse and worse until they d*ed.
Even when I knew we had you back, I couldn't shake the image.
There you were, surrounded by all those empty cribs.
Of course, they won't stay empty.
Jen and Tyler Curtis' baby was just ten weeks behind you.
He came early.
But he never got Trips.
First baby born to two immune parents.
So far, so good.
Maybe there's hope for us yet.
God, I wish you could meet Stu.
People keep trying to get me to send scouts to Vegas, see if they can find out what happened to our people, to Flagg, what made those lights in the sky.
I keep saying, "No, it's too dangerous, we can't spare the manpower." Is it possible I just don't want to know the answer?
I mean, how long do I wait before I accept that he must be dead?
And how long until I stop dreaming about him?
Hey, look at...
H-Hi!
Oh, hey.
Perfect timing.
I hate going down these stairs alone.
You guys carry on, okay?
I'll-I'll catch up.
We're, uh, just on our way to help set up for tonight.
Oh, yeah.
(EXHALES)
Yeah, I don't f...
I don't feel much like being around people right now.
Yeah.
Well, I-I hope you're planning on coming down.
You know, it's important that people see you, you out there and, you know, both of you.
Yeah.
You're the only connection that the rest of us still have to her.
Until the others get back.
Right.
Till they come back.

Once upon a time, entire tribes like this were wiped out by missionaries who gave them blankets with smallpox.

These fine folks...
they weren't even touched by the superflu.

Anyway... to business.
You're not dead, honeybunch.

I don't know if your skull is fractured, or if it's only a concussion.
I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.

Your knee is blown out, your hip shattered.
Three broken ribs.
