How do you know that name?

Victor told us all about you.

Victor's alive?

I gave up my family
to put this guy away.

I'm not about to let him succeed now.

Recognize this voice,
Teddy? Give you a hint.

Last time you heard it, you were
in a Denton County courthouse

listening to my testimony against you.

Couldn't k*ll me then, and you sure
as sh*t aren't gonna do it now.

We should close it up.

No.

I think I'm gonna leave

- John...
- I have questions.

Had 'em close to years.

The answers might be in here.

Theodore Maddox k*lled women.

At least that's how
many he confessed to.

Yeah, you don't have
to relive it all for me.

No way I can forget it, June.

The women... he did
the same thing to them

that he was doing
after he escaped prison.

Embalming 'em so they'd never have

what he called a new beginning.

Problem is, we could
never find the place

where he was doing the embalming.

Which is why he was able to
continue as long as he did.

You still stopped him.

Only for a spell.

He still got what he wanted, June.

John, I don't think going over all this

is going to help anyone.

- It might.
- What do you mean?

I didn't find 'em all.

Find what?

I said we knew he k*lled women,

but we only found bodies.

His last victim, Cindy Hawkins,

the one whose purse I planted,

he finally admitted he k*lled her.

It's what cracked the whole thing open.

But I never found her body.

I looked that girl's mama
square in the eye,

and I promised her I'd
help her bury her baby,

promised her I'd help give
her the ending she deserved.

But I was never able to.

You tried. That's what counts.

I made a promise I
couldn't keep back then.

But maybe I can now.

Maybe something in here will
help me find where she is.

John, even if you figure it out,

you can't leave here.

[CREAKING, RUMBLING]

We may not have a choice.

How are those suits coming?

Still trying to make them airtight.

If we ever go up there,

we can't risk breathing
in any particles.

How long till you think they'll be done?

It's not just the suits.

I mean, once these are done,

we need some kind of airlock...

a go-between from outside to in here

so we don't drag anything back in.

Why would we come back?

We don't know what kind
of radiation is up there.

There are some types

that suits might not
even protect against.

And if there are?

Well, I'm not an expert,

but from what I've read...

... it'll be a lot safer then.

Well, uh, you keep working on the suits.

I'll start shoring things up,

buy us some time in case
we can't venture out.

I think I saw some twobys next door.

Mm.

I'm sorry, June.

I know I'm not the Dorie

you thought you'd be
spending your days with.

I am happy to be where I am.

he liked to have a good time

CHAMBLISS: This episode
is called "Cindy Hawkins".

That title actually comes from the name

of one of Teddy's victims,

a victim who, we'll learn
over the course of the episode,

actually holds a lot of
significance to John Dorie Sr.

Keep your promise.

Find me.

♪ ♪

The beginning of this sequence
really was about showing

what life is like in
this fall-out bunker,

and even though the world
above has gone to hell,

they actually have something
that's not all that bad.

We kind of see the two
of them creating this bond

where they're growing close together,

where they're actually with family,

the family neither one of them,

I think, ever thought they would have.

I know I'm not the Dorie

you thought you'd be
spending your days with.

I am happy to be where I am.

This bunker is actually

where Teddy k*lled all
the women back in the ' s.

When John Dorie Sr. discovers the room

where Teddy k*lled everyone,

not only is he kind of
reminded of his own failures

in stopping Teddy in the past,

but he's reminded of
a promise that he made

to one of Teddy's victims.

Cindy Hawkins.

I looked that girl's mama
square in the eye,

and I promised her I'd help give
her the ending she deserved.

years later, he thinks he's going to

finally make good on his promise.

As Dorie Sr. continues to see
visions of Cindy Hawkins,

the one thing that Cindy starts to do...

and, really, is John's subconscious...

is start to turn him against June.

John, have you been drinking
without me knowing?

Here and there.

As June discovers,

Dorie Sr. has actually been
secretly drinking in the bunker.

And now he's without the one
thing he used to self-medicate,

and it comes at the moment when
he is quite literally haunted

by the one victim he wasn't
able to give peace to.

John...

- John, don't do that!
- I have to!

You're gonna bring the whole place down!

I need to get her to stop.

Dorie is going to risk
both of their lives

to go up above ground,

and June feels like the
only thing she can do

to protect themselves is to sedate him

until he gets through, really,

the worst of his alcohol withdrawal.

June... You...

I'm sorry, but I should
have done that sooner.

You'll just...

[WOOD CREAKING]

June! June

♪ ♪

Ultimately, this experience

where John tries to go above ground

when June wants to stay below ground

leads to the reveal from June

that she was actually lying
about how long they needed

to stay in the bunker before
it was safe to go above ground.

Is it really as dangerous as you said?

I-I-I-I don't know.

Tell me the truth! Tell me!

I-I made them up.

Why?!

I don't want to go up there.

even without John.

That reveal forces June

to admit that it's actually rooted

in kind of a deep-seated fear she has...

♪ ♪

... the unknown that she's
going to face in terms of

what a world looks like
without John Dorie Jr. in it.

♪ ♪

Where are you going?

To keep the only damn promise

I ever made that I can still keep.

Dorie Sr. kind of once again
choosing the investigation

over his own family.

John, don't go out there. John!

He's ready to leave June behind,
who's in some real danger

because she's pinned beneath
a collapsed beam in this bunker.

He's going above ground

because he thinks he can
solve the crime once more.

- You have to find me.
- Why are you confusing me?

You're not real.

So how do you know they are?

I know she is.

June's real. I can't leave her.

No. No!

CHAMBLISS: After John Dorie
Sr. makes the right decision

and he returns to the bunker

and does it with just
enough time to save June

from the stalker who's infiltrated,

they actually end up finding

that Cindy Hawkins was buried
in the walls of the bunker,

that Teddy must have not had enough time

to put her body anywhere else.

And ultimately, Dorie Sr.

is able to kind of fulfill the promise

that he made to Cindy Hawkins'
mother all those years ago.

♪ ♪

I think he realizes

that it's never too late
to forgive himself,

that it's never too late
to put his past behind him

and embrace the present

instead of kind of dwelling in the past.

I'll help you see which way is up, then.

'Cause I think I see it again.

It's that lesson that he's
gonna exit this bunker with.

- Move! Go! Move!
- It's not gonna hold, John!

The difference in June
and Dorie Sr.'s reactions

to living in Strand's tower

really are kind of a
function of the fact

that she's had some time to accept

that this may be the only way
they're gonna be able to live.

Well, good morning.

Victor.

Dorie Sr. is waking up into this

and is kind of discovering the fact

that they are now forced
to live with the man

who he saw do some
pretty terrible things.

I'm done listening to you, Morgan.

I'm going to do what you couldn't.

I'm going to rebuild the world.

I'm going to help everyone
that you let down.

Strand is really enjoying the
fact that he is the leader now

and Morgan's on the outs.

I think in many ways it really speaks to

Strand's need to kind of be recognized,

and that's a big part of
what his journey's gonna be

as we continue to go
forward in the season.

I will come for you, Victor.

Bring it.

It really is kind of setting
up this antagonism

between these two characters

as we continue to go
deeper into the season,

and I think it creates a question of,

"Whose side is everyone gonna fall onto

as the conflict continues?"
