Station Eleven

- Just because I can't see you doesn't mean I can't kill you.

What's your--

What's your name?

My name's Sarah.

I'm safe.

I played music before.

What about you?

I was a Shakespearean actor.

Well, who'd you train under?

Arthur Leander.

We can overcome that.

When we fix the ship,

I'm gonna say goodbye to Arthur.

And Jeevan.

And my little brother.

His name was Frank.

- You've been out here a long time

by yourself, haven't you?

Dr. Eleven can't feel time.

Okay, don't mind the Director. He hates children.

Even though they're the only ones

who can act worth a damn.

Everyone else is too traumatized.

We're The Traveling Symphony. We travel for a reason.

We burn the house down, then go!

Just try to make the world make sense for a minute.

And, you know, they blame you

if you stay, but...

they love you like you saved 'em

when you come back.

- How's Charlie? - Fine. At the back.

Okay.

Yeah.

You good?

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, babe.

- How's your process going, Hamlet? Hmm?

- It's good. I'm okay.

- Who wants to go on a prop run?

- Your leave and favor to return to France,

from whence, though willingly, I came to Denmark.

- You okay? - Yeah.

How long? - Uh, 20 minutes.

Be ready for Ophelia too. - Okay, yeah.

- Larded all with sweet flowers,

which bewept...

Hey, you want some water?

No, I got my camel.

Okay.

Everything good?

You're okay, you're okay. - Yeah.

Hey. - What's up?

- Look who's coming. - Hey, Traveling Symphony!

What's up?

- Oh, God. This guy.

Hey.

Hey, horsey.

Dan! Remember?

From before.

- You found us. - Yes, I did.

I'm gonna audition again.

Whoa! Super preggers. - Whoa.

Yeah. - Awesome. Congrats.

Can I? No. - No.

- That's not cool, is it? - It's okay. Thank you.

Come on, please.

Just--

just no Shakespeare.

We only perform Shakespeare.

Let him.

Sarah's still composing. She's not paying attention.

Come on, Dieter.

Break a rule.

- Fine. - Yes!

- Opening up auditions for one time only

to any content whatsoever, not necessarily Shakespeare.

- Do we even need a new player?

You never know.

- Come on, Dan. Fifth time's a charm.

You got this.

Good morning.

all: Good morning!

In less than an hour,

an aircraft from here will join others from around the world.

Perhaps it's fate

that today is the Fourth of July

and you will once again be fighting for our freedom.

Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution,

but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live,

to exist.

And should we win the day,

the Fourth of July will no longer be known,

as an American holiday,

but as the day when the world declared in one voice,

we will not go quietly into the night!

- No. - Right.

- We will not vanish without a fight!

- Yeah! - We're going to live on!

- Yes! - We're going to survive!

Yeah!

Today, we celebrate

our Independence Day!

Come on.

So?

- Yeah, man. Let's make magic.

- I got the job? - Yes!

- I'm in the Traveling Symphony?

Are you serious? I'm in? - Congratulations!

- Oh, my God. Thank you.

Seriously.

Welcome to the family.

Oh! Yes, yes, yes!

It's my 20th symphony.

Oh, did you finish?

Ugh, harder every time.

How do you feel?

- They should make me a saint. Like St. Deborah.

- Well, you didn't die in a chemical fire.

I die every year composing.

- Hey, Kirsten! - Kirsten!

- Hey. - Hi!

I don't like "Hamlet."

Ha!

That's always been your process.

Hi.

Shakespeare people!

Welcome back to St. Deborah-by-the-Water.

Is Kirsten here?

- You all really liked "Romeo and Juliet"

last year, huh?

Kirsten!

Hey.

You wanna go on a little prop run?

- Yeah. - Okay. Come on.

Are you okay?

I know these woods make you think of Jeevan.

- Hmm? Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, go. What's your question about the phone?

So I press the button.

Then?

- Then an entire map of the area

and all the cars comes up.

- Okay, so then I press, "I want a ride."

"I want a ride."

And something happens in a car nearby?

They can see where we are?

- Yeah, and then they come and pick you up,

and they take you anywhere.

Okay.

So how many plays fit on this one?

Alex, every play.

All of the plays fit on it.

- I wish I coulda had a phone. - They weren't that great.

- Okay, so let me just read everything

and speak to anyone, anywhere.

I asked Sayid to come swimming with us.

- We've had no contact with Jeff

or any of our team in Moscow for over 20 hours now.

We are going to head over to our office in Los Angeles.

- Hi. You have reached Catherine Raymonde.

I'm not available to take your call.

Leave me a message,

or to reach my assistant, press two.

- Reports of an excess of 10,000 deaths

coming in tonight

from whatever county officials we can find.

Maybe you should turn it off.

- The speed at which this virus kills...

- There hasn't been any news on the Ferris wheel.

- Experts believe that it's got a kill rate of over 99%.

Imagine dying like that.

- Well, the way I see it, the power is on.

Things will be back to normal in a couple of days.

Hey, this is Jim.

I can't get to the phone right now,

but I'll call you back when I can.

Go, Cubs.

- Hi. You have reached Catherine Raymonde.

Yes, that's correct, Tina.

Kirsten, maybe...

do you wanna get some sleep?

There is a spare bedroom.

- I'll tell you when my parents call.

Good night, Jeevan. Good night, Frank.

Whoo-hoo!

Check inside the cabin?

You see any ghosts this year?

I looked in the window.

It's the same, as always.

There's no sign of him.

Oh, wow.

Look how clear it is. You can see Chicago.

- Every time I think my first 100 days were bad,

I remember you walked across Lake Michigan.

Let's get to the lake.

Frank, I'm opening the door.

Frank, is that okay?

Where's Alex?

I don't know.

- Did you see where she went? - No.
