Fallout
Season 1 Episode 1
Episode title: The End
Original release date: April 10, 2024 (Prime Video)
Plot: In 2077, actor Cooper Howard and his daughter are caught in the middle of a nuclear attack against Los Angeles during the outbreak of the Great War. 219 years later, Vault 33 dweller Lucy MacLean is selected for an arranged marriage with a dweller from Vault 32. After the couple are married, the Vault 32 visitors are revealed to be disguised raiders led by Lee Moldaver. Lucy’s father and overseer of Vault 33, Hank MacLean, is forced to leave with them. In defiance of Vault regulations, Lucy decides to go to the surface by herself to search for her father. Meanwhile, Brotherhood of Steel aspirant Maximus is promoted to the rank of squire and joins Knight Titus in hunting down a member of the Enclave. A group of bounty hunters find Howard, who had been transformed by radiation into a Ghoul, and recruit him to find the same Enclave member. Instead, Howard kills them and pursues the bounty alone.

[smacks lips]
Well, back when I was in the Marines, they taught us that if they ever drop a really big bomb, told us to hold up your thumb just like this.
And if the cloud is smaller than your thumb, well, you run for the hills.
And if it’s bigger than your thumb?
They told us not to bother running.
Do you think it’s gonna happen?
I certainly hope not.
But us cowpokes, we take it as it comes, right?

Oh… hello there.
Now, how about we turn on some lights?
[jarring music playing]
[Wilzig] You need to go home.
Vault dwellers are an endangered species here.
I’m not going back without my dad.
[Betty] You could have destroyed the last vestiges of civilization.
[Dervin] What are you looking at?
[Norm] A murderer in a cage?
[Dervin] I don’t know what the people of Vault 32 were up to, but it was anything but innocent.
[Lucy] What happened up here?
[Maximus] I think everybody wants to save the world.
They just disagree on how.
[Lucy] I wonder if anyone survived.
[Roger] How long since you first started wastelanding?
A long time.
[snarls]
[Lucy] What are you?
[Ghoul] Oh, I’m you, sweetie.
Just give it a little time.
Welcome.
What the fudge?
[Sebastian] Forget Hollywood.
You’re a product, I’m a product.
The end of the world is a product.
[Charles] Vault-Tec is a trillion-dollar company that owns half of everything.
[Cooper] I guess everything’s a conspiracy, right?
[Charles] Unless the people do something about it.
[Ghoul] Ain’t much stays clean up here, Vaultie.
You’ll see.
[roars]
[screams]
[Ghoul] You look out at this wasteland… looks like chaos.
But there’s always somebody behind the wheel.
