[patient yelling]
[labored breathing] Breathe. Breathe.
Are you sure nobody’s coming for you, love?
Get her out!
[yelling]
[baby crying]
It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.
I know. I know. [baby fussing]
Yes. It’s okay. It’s okay.
[nurse] Hang in there. The first few days are always tough.
[parent] I’m just happy she finally stopped crying.
[nurse] Aw, yeah, I hear you.
She’s a very cute baby. Little girl, yes?
W-When was she born? Just the other day?
Mm-hmm.
Was the baby born on June 6th at 12:01 a.m.? The girl?
What? [nurse] Sir, please.
It’s her, isn’t it?
Holy shit, it’s her.
Listen to me. She’s a killer. [nurse] Security!
Not now, but she will be. [baby crying]
But she can be stopped. [nurse] Sir.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. She can be stopped
when it matters. Security!
I have a message for that baby. I have a message for that little girl.
[baby wailing] She can be stopped when it matters. You need to listen to me!
I have a message for that baby. Get back!
I have a message for that little girl.
[security] You gotta go now! She can be stopped when it matters!
I have a message for that baby! Jane, Jane, stop crying.
[baby continues crying] Jane.
Stop crying, Jane!

[guards chattering]
[Xavier] I’m gonna set the explosive near those yellow barricades and come back here.
Then, I’m gonna detonate the bomb.
When the bomb attracts attention, I’m gonna go in and get Teri.
Any questions? Nope.
Uh, wait, just one. Uh, what am I doing?
Nothing. Got it, consider it done.
[Xavier sighs]
Why does the explosive need to be in that spot?
[Xavier] The guards won’t leave their post if the explosion isn’t close enough to cause a threat for them.
Too far away and it won’t be.
That spot’s our mark because it’s a safe distance away and no one will get hurt, but it still poses a threat.
Any other questions?
Yeah, actually.
How the hell are you gonna pull this off?
♪♪
Our little boy, he had a train phase.
Loved ’em.
There was a two-year span where all presents for birthdays or Christmas, they had to be trains.
Tracks, cabooses, dining cars, the works.
And I would set up these elaborate train tracks for him.
And all he wanted to do was smash the trains into each other.
Smash, smash, smash. Used to drive me fucking nuts.
Why couldn’t he just let the trains ride along their tracks?
But maybe the kid was onto something.
Maybe it’s not fun to play with trains that ride smoothly along their tracks.
Maybe the thing that’s interesting about trains is the possibility that these huge metal contraptions could one day crash into one another.
How am I gonna pull this off?
I’m gonna run my ass down there, break a few necks if anyone gets in my way, and I’m gonna get my fucking wife back.
Watch my back and don’t touch anything.
I’m here to pick up Sinatra.
On whose orders? Mine.
Baines is gone and she’s back in charge.
Fuck with me and find out.
I don’t need it. Thank you, sweetheart.
Good morning. Jane.
Help me with my jacket?
Yes, of course.
The group outside the bunker walls has grown.
They appear heavily armed.
Morton was able to secure footage from the south mountainside for this morning.
I was thinking that I could take the long way to the meeting so that you can show up a little late.
You know, more of a power move.
Smart… Good thinking, Jane.
[chuckles softly]
Are you okay?
Are you sure you wanna go back to work so quickly?
[Sinatra] I’m fine, don’t worry.
Mm. [kiss smacking]
I love you. [Hadley] I love you.
[young Jane] Pinky up. [teacup clattering]
[laughing] Climby, stop.
You’re gonna make me laugh and spill.
[sipping] [footsteps approaching]
[mother] Jane, you’re too old to be talking to imaginary friends.
Dinner’s ready, and I’m not gonna reheat it.
Downstairs… Now.
[TV playing] [host] Okay, now you’ve won $800 so far.
[mother laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[boyfriend] Come on, it’s gonna be so hot in there.
[mother] It’s gonna be hot and it’s gonna be good.
You’re gonna really enjoy it.
You know. Okay.
[boyfriend] Go ‘head, you first. [mother] Get over here.
No, Climby. Mom won’t like that.
Okay, fine, I’ll do it. You don’t have to yell.
[inaudible]
[♪ ominous music playing]
[door locking] [mother] Hey!
She locked us in. [door rattling]
No. Let us out, Jane.
Hey, open up. Let us out.
[boyfriend] It’s not funny.
Jane, let us out right now!
[door rattling]
Let us out right now, or you are in big trouble!
I swear to God, you’re in big trouble.
That’s it. Unlock the door, Jane.
Unlock the door.
Okay, get back here. Wait. I’m sorry. It was Climby!
No. Climby told me to do it!
Climby, Climby told me to do it. Enough.
[knocking] Let me out.
That lunatic in the parking lot was right about you.
You’re the worst goddamn thing that ever happened to me.
[Hadley] Hey, Jane? Yeah?
Make sure nothing bad happens to my mom, okay?
I… I won’t let anything happen to her.
You know that, right? I promise.
I will never let anything happen.
[♪ tense music playing]
[recording plays]
[Sinatra] I’m telling you it’s Alec. [Gabriela] No, no. I’m–
[Sinatra] It’s Alec. [Gabriela] I’m pretty sure it’s Alex.
[Sinatra] Pretty sure you’re wrong. [Gabriela] It’s Alex Trebek.
I watched Jeopardy! every night
since I was 14 years old. [laughing] Were you watching
with the sound off? I know for a fact it is Alec.
Hold on a second. Hold on. It’s Alec!
Hold on, I’m gonna look it up.
I’m right. No.
Suck it, baby. What?
[Gabriela] Suck it. [Sinatra] No.
[Gabriela] I’m right. Yes. [Sinatra] Give it to me.
[Sinatra] During their playdate, Elise’s mom, Alex, kept droning on and on, I–
[recording stops abruptly] [sighs]
[recording plays] [Sinatra] I’ve done something terrible.
I crossed a line no person should cross, but Alex is our o-only chance, and–
[Gabriela] Oh, I’m… [chuckles] I’m not following.
[Sinatra] I’m afraid of the person I’m becoming, Gabi.
I’m afraid of the person I’m going to have to be in order to save them.
[Gabriela] Save who, Samantha?
[Sinatra] I have to go.
[watch chiming]
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Garcia made pizza for breakfast.
Nice, James.
How ’bout a doggie bag for school?
Um, no, thanks. I made our lunches last night.
Like I’ve been doing for the past three years.
We don’t need babysitters.
[softly] What we need for you to do is your fucking jobs.
I heard that.
Good.
Because how can you guys just be sitting here like nothing is happening?
People are disappearing, my boyfriend was just arrested, and you’re sitting here making pizza for breakfast.
To be fair, it is a breakfast pizza–
Why aren’t you guys out there fighting back?
Oh, I know. It’s because you rely on my dad and Robinson to do literally everything for you, just like always.
We were told to keep you guys safe
and wait for them to return. Whatever.
Just make sure James makes it to school and back.
I’ve got shit to do.
[people chattering softly]
Hello, everyone.
[member 1] Morning. [member 2] Good morning.
I’m sure you’ve all heard about President Baines by now.
The suspect has been apprehended and is currently in custody.
Agent Driscoll will provide us with an official update.
Special Agent Robinson was detained and is currently in custody.
She was a known associate of Xavier Collins, and her actions appear to be a continuation of the failed coup she led with him.
Thank you, Agent Driscoll.
[Kato] This is insane.
Two dead presidents now. Murdered.
What are we gonna tell everyone?
They won’t have time to worry about Baines.
They’re not gonna have time to worry about another dead president?
No. We have bigger problems.
[member 1] What’s going on? [member 2] What is that?
A militia has amassed outside our bunker doors.
People are alive out there?
We have no idea what state they’re in.
We have no idea what they want.
Over the past 48 hours, the group has doubled in size.
They appear heavily armed and quite serious.
They want to talk.
Now, I have a plan.
But I can’t act on that plan without the consent of everyone at this table. I won’t do that again.
This is not a dictatorship. We are a team.
It needs to be unanimous.
[group muttering]
[member 1] I think we should do it.
[member 2] Yes. [member 3] Yes, yes, of course.
[member 4] I’m on board.
Alright. [sighs]
Here’s what I propose.
[bandmate] [sighs] It’s nighttime 24/7 down here.
How do we really know it’s time for breakfast, huh?
How do we really know it’s morning? I’m tripping out.
They’re lying to us, bro.
[guard] Find a seat.
It’s cooked, dude.
He wants nothing to do with us and he’s weird as fuck.
We can’t do this without him.
[♪ tense music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Have you thought about what I asked?
They always come back to haunt us.
I’m s– What? Our original sins.
Mine are down here.
It’s quite poetic, actually, that I ended up here. Okay, s-sorry.
Are you gonna help us get out of here or not?
But I guess it’s what I deserve, right?
Jesus Christ. Okay, um…
Yeah, thank you for nothing.
Loved you in Inglourious Basterds, by the way.
You can’t just bust open the doors of this place.
It’s a fortress.
Sit down.
In the emergency control room on the systems level, if the oxygen supply is shut off, all the doors automatically open.
All of them, for everyone in Paradise.
That’s, that’s it? Well, how-how-how-how do we get to it?
Look to your right.
You see a manhole? Yeah.
Those lead to a maintenance tunnel.
From there, it’s pretty much a straight shot, okay?
Well, it’s welded shut. Bit out in the open, don’t you think?
There’s one more of those down here that they didn’t weld shut.
I know exactly where it is.
You asked to see me?
Come sit.
I need to talk to you about something.
Sit, Jane, please.
You made it their decision to give you back power.
It was incredibly impressive, Mrs. Redmond.
Sam is fine.
Thank you, Sam.
I find myself in an interesting moment.
I’m gonna be honest, Jane, you terrify me.
But my two closest security team members are dead, half of the Secret Service was just in open revolt, and you… you’re what I’ve got.
You’re the only person left down here who knows my secrets.
But before we take the next step in our relationship, I have to know something.
After you shot me, you told me that I was no use to you dead.
What did you mean?
I thought you didn’t remember.
Things came back.
Well, I’m…
What I meant was…
I’m a killer.
It’s what I’ve always been. A weapon.
People I respect aim me and I execute for them.
To serve my purpose, I need someone like you.
You’re no good to me if you’re dead.
I’m going to meet with them, the militia… and I need you to go out and negotiate the terms.
Outside? Yes.
Just you.
[♪ tense music playing]
[panicked breathing] [speaking Russian]
[grunts]
[Jane choking]
[gasps]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[buzzer]
[laughing]
[speaker] Special Skills Officer Driscoll, my office, please.
[panting]
[Jane] You didn’t have to let him off the hook.
I had him.
Jane… how are you enjoying your time here at The Farm?
Well, I’m ready to get out in the field.
Yeah, well, your intelligence scores are off the charts.
Um, your psych eval is…
I had a hard childhood.
Something happened when I was a baby that really framed the way my mom treated me.
Sometimes I hear voices. I don’t wanna know.
Never give them an excuse to keep you down.
Look, Jane. You’re what, 105 pounds?
Radner is a misogynistic prick.
But when he’s a foreign enemy and has twice the anger Radner has, you’re done for.
You need to fight smarter.
[Stacy sighs]
Sit down.
Are you familiar with the Stargate Project?
No. It was a CIA-funded initiative during the 1980s that investigated the potential of non-traditional techniques for intelligence gathering.
The official program at The Farm was terminated, but the techniques were not.
Meditation is one of them. Quieting the noise.
Quieting the voices inside your head.
A mentor taught me, and I’d like to teach you, Jane.
I think the techniques could help.
Would you like to give it a try? Sure.
‘Kay.
So first, we’re just gonna take a deep breath in.
[both inhaling deeply]
Feeling your ribcage expand.
And when you get to the top of your breath, just hold.
And let go. [exhaling slowly]
[♪ gentle music playing]
And feel the breath expand into both hands.
Once you’ve mastered it, you’ll reach a point where you’ll feel like your mind is floating outside your body.
You’ll learn to think clearly in impossible situations.
You will notice things you didn’t before: mannerisms, patterns, behaviors.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales sharply]
Tell me who you work for.
[grunting]
That slap was the closest thing you’ll ever get to a woman’s touch, you pencil-dicked incel.
[grunting]
[claps] Gah!
Open the doors.
[doors opening]
It was like he was trying to get himself arrested.
It just doesn’t make any sense. I’m sorry, girl.
Feels like it’s just one thing after another.
[exhales sharply] I need answers.
[door bell jingling]
Ding, ding, ding.
Hi. Presley, right? We haven’t really talked.
My boyfriend’s missing, my father is God knows where being blamed for everything.
And now, the closest person I have left down here got arrested for something she didn’t do.
What do you have to say about all of that?
I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.
Look, I got a lot going on, but this place isn’t what you think it is.
And your mother isn’t who you think she is.
Start there.
[indistinct chatter]
[footsteps approaching]
[Robinson scoffs]
[sighs] I know you didn’t do it.
[scoffs]
Hot Sherlock Holmes in the house.
This place is crumbling. [sighs]
And I’m convinced that it has something to do with someone named Alex.
[scoffs softly] Sinatra, she–
You’re a little too late, Doc.
And honestly, I have reached my limit talking about your girl.
Okay. Alright, fair.
Did Cal ever say anything about an Alex?
He hated Alex Rodriguez.
He was strangely intolerant to major leaguers that do performance-enhancing drugs, but in all fairness, the Yankees do suck.
Okay, we have to stop her.
Actually, Doc, I ain’t gotta do shit but stay Black and die.
You do realize that stopping Sinatra might be the only way to clear your name?
Do you hear yourself right now?
Wake up.
She is undefeated and will remain undefeated because that is how the system works.
They’re gonna frame me just like they framed X.
And you know what I’m gonna do about it?
Jack-fucking-shit.
I’m gonna sit on my ass down here and mourn the loss of my people, and then wash my hands of all of it.
So, yeah, good luck with that.
Brooks, I’m ready for my sponge bath.
Not yet, Brooks.
I’m not leaving without answers.
[sighs]
Sinatra is not the dangerous one.
What do you mean?
Sinatra remains untouchable because of the people behind her.
It’s the girl, Doc. Jane.
I missed it. X missed it.
But she is behind all of it: Baines, Billy.
That girl, she is like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
[birdsong]
[♪ soft music playing]
[Jane breathing deeply]
[deep breathing continues]
[deep breathing continues]
Gentlemen.
Head’s up, head’s up. [guns cocking]
Oh! [chuckles] Don’t worry, it’s just me.
The leader of our community is willing to meet with you.
I’ve been asked to deliver the terms.
Whoa!
[overlapping chatter]
Where’s the cutie with the cards?
I’m not fucking playing. Where is he?
[Link] I’m here.
[exhales] Whoa. Super cute.
Please, lower your gun.
My boss is willing to meet, but only with you.
Understood, and fine, but I’ll be bringing my men.
You can bring two men, unarmed.
Ten, armed.
Two, no weapons.
Five, armed.
Five, no weapons.
You guys have apple pie in there?
What? Apple pie.
Of all the things I crave, and there’s a lot, good old-fashioned apple pie is the thing that I think about the most.
Yeah. We have pie. It’s really good, actually.
Five men, unarmed… and a slice of apple pie.
I’ll see what I can do.
I’m gonna let him go and head back now.
I would not recommend moving on me.
I slowed it all down and I saw it.
When he gets mad, he leaves himself wide open.
[laughing] I mean, I totally had him. It was incredible.
That’s great. Yeah.
I got him with his own gun in, like, 22 seconds.
[chuckles]
Is everything okay?
[inhales deeply]
Hm, I… found out you-know-who got the promotion I was up for.
You know he didn’t even apply until he found out I was gunning for it?
Radner’s in paramilitary operations.
That has nothing to do with what you do.
And he’s a child. How?
He has a dick, Jane.
You’re so much better at your job than him.
No, seriously, you teach.
You actually want your students to succeed.
[Stacy] Thank you. [sighs]
Can I ask you something?
Why did you help me?
I mean, aside from all the girl power shit.
There are other women in the program.
Why me?
Because I think you’re incredibly special, Jane.
And I’m incredibly sad that no one has ever told you.
[Jane sniffling]
What are those?
Oh! Controllers for the Wii.
You wanna play?
They agreed to the terms.
Okay, good. Really great work, Jane.
Thank you. I have something for you.
I tried to find the one you like, but I think this is the newer version.
It’s a Nintendo Switch.
[Hadley] Mom?
Hi, sweetheart. I’ll give you two a moment.
[whispering] Your mom is the best. Like, the best.
Yeah. Yeah, she is.
That’s cool we both see it, you know?
Okay.
I need to know something, and it can’t wait.
Okay, what is it? Talk to me.
Are you Sinatra?
[sighs]
“Sinatra” is just a code name for the Secret Service.
We’ve been over this. Well, then why was it written in the sky?
And what about those people who are disappearing?
Some of those kids are in my class, Mom.
I’m sorry this is happening.
I really am. And I’m working on it, Hadley.
I promise, I had nothing to do with putting them down there.
And I’m gonna get to the bottom of it as soon as I’m able, okay?
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
[♪ tense music playing]
It should be just… Oh. Shit.
What up, Shawshank? I see you’re as obvious as ever.
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
You gonna try to get out of one of these?
Make your big escape?
Yes. We’re going to escape through it tonight while everyone’s asleep. Don’t be a snitch.
A snitch? Yeah.
That’s cute.
You’re gonna get yourselves killed.
You know, if your dad could see– No, no, no.
No, no, no. I-I do not need a lecture from one of my father’s side pieces, okay?
One of his side pieces? Yeah.
You know what? My conscience is clear.
You’re on your own, Andy Dufresne.
[doorbell ringing]
Hi. Sorry to show up like this.
Look, I know you got the promotion Officer Thomas was up for.
And I think it would mean a lot to see a woman in that position.
Oh. She really deserves it.
And I just wanted to let you know in the hopes that you would consider stepping down.
Well, thank you, Officer Driscoll.
That’s, that’s a really good point. [scoffs]
You know what else is a really good point?
You getting the flying fuck off my porch.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[Stacy] Jane, what are you doing here?
Sunday night dinner, no?
Oh, yes. Um, I’m sorry, I just… [sighs]
I’m, I’m a little… shook up.
Did you hear about Radner? He was, he was attacked.
He’s been in surgery for hours.
So, does that mean you’ll get the promotion?
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
What’s in the bag, Jane?
You said Officer Radner only got the promotion because he had a dick.
Well, that’s not an issue anymore.

Really great work, Jane.
You have more to offer the world than what you’ve been told.
I’m proud of you, Jane.
She went home for the evening.
I’m not here for her. I’m here for you.
For me?
I know what you did… to Baines, Robinson.
To Pace.
If you know what I did… then you know what I’m capable of.
You know, I did her bidding myself for a while.
It doesn’t end well.
It’s different with us. [scoffs lightly]
I don’t think you’re understanding me.
She’s up to something.
And I’m gonna figure out what it is.
I’m coming for her.
If you come for her… you come through me.

Uh… [Robinson] Hey!
I wasn’t a fucking side piece, and I’ll be damned if I let his kid get pummeled.
Come on. In.
Uh, a-after you.
Help me with this? [grunting]
[Anders grunting]
I told you to stand watch.
What’s the rest of my path look like from up there?
Oh, um, I’m sorry.
There’s an armed guard on top of the tanker facing three o’clock, but that could change.

[guard 1] How ’bout this? This good?
[guard 2] That’s good, just give me a sec!
[♪ suspenseful music continues playing]
If anything happens to me…
I want you to find her.
And tell her our kids are in Colorado, and that I came all the way here to find her.
And that I made it.
And you make sure that she’s safe, okay?
You make sure that she’s taken care of.
That’s all I ever wanted to do.
I’m sorry, Xavier.
