Silo

Emerson, are you with the patient?

Stationed outside her room, ma'am.

Good. I need you to deliver a message to her nurse.

What are you doing here?

Figured you might need some company.

What I really need is for you to start the Judicial process

for installing an interim mayor.

Her condition's that bad?

Unlikely to survive the night. I'll see you at home.

It wants what it wanted three months ago,

but the gas in the mines didn't quite do the job, right?

The gas in the mines was for Lukas Kyle.

He was in the mines?

He got away.

But the gas did get the mayor.

Well, it sounds like the voice in there thinks that was a good thing.

Heroic death and all.

And this,

this could stop the need to put the drugs in the water.

I'll do it for you.

It has to be me.

Yeah. I understand.

But you don't have to be alone.

When will Mrs. Sims get here?

She's on her way now.

She wants her unconscious when she arrives.

Hold her down.

What's going on?

- Okay. Okay. - No.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

- It's okay. It's all right. - Help! Help!

- Keep her quiet. - Help! Help!

No, no, no, no.

We have to go. Now.

- Hey. Hey, hey. What are you doing? - We have to call someone.

We have to call someone?

What the fuck?

- They just made a man disappear, okay? - Goddamn it!

And they're probably listening through our phones.

- What if Charlotte tries to call? - You can't...

Daniel, you can't talk to Charlotte. They'll be monitoring her calls.

We have to get away from here. I just don't know...

- Wait. What... - ...if my car is bugged or has a tracker.

What do you think this is?

Someone made that man disappear.

Okay?

So now we have to get somewhere safe.

I think I know somewhere.

Where?

Okay, just don't show up until 10:00.

What am I supposed to do until then?

Whatever you do, don't go home.

You'll be all right. Nurse!

- Tell me she's okay. - I don't know.

I tried to stay with her. They wouldn't let me.

- I'm a total piece of shit. - What are you talking about?

Jules reached out to me for help.

First I ignored her and then I yelled at her.

You can't beat yourself up. I left her alone in the mines.

- What happened to her? - She went in to try and save people.

Of course she did.

They're not gonna let you see her.

Hey, Emerson.

She's got a pulse.

Fuck.

Okay. Here. Take this. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Okay. Good.

We gotta go. We gotta go.

Sheriff.

So, what do you wanna know?

Just wanna confirm cause of death was rat poison.

- Can't do that. - You need more time?

No, I mean, she wasn't poisoned.

I got a full house tonight whose C.O.D. was aerosol-based rat poison.

Their lungs are fried.

Hers are kitchen clean.

Then what happened?

She was struck in the back of the head, hard.

Pretty sure by a length of rebar.

There's a ribbed pattern in the wound.

- When? - By the pooling? Couple days.

Where did you find her?

One of the search teams went down a closed-off tunnel, just to be sure.

Found her way back.

Maybe she was there for some reason, and a ceiling caved in?

- They use rebar-- - No. When I said her lungs were clean,

I meant she didn't die in the mines.

Anyone who dies in there, and I've seen a bunch over the years,

there's always dust in the lungs.

She was never supposed to be found.

Show me the wound, please.

Billings to Deputy Murphy.

Go ahead, Sheriff.

If you see Carla McLain, tell her to meet me in Supply.

It's about her shadow.

You find her?

Yeah.

Okay. Not what I was expecting.

Obviously not your place.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just that you drive a 30-year-old Saab. Not ironically.

And...

this is different.

For the record, I helped pick out the furniture.

For who?

Palmer. My ex.

And this Palmer is okay with you just coming in and out whenever you want?

He's on assignment in South Sudan.

All right.

- Hey. - Yeah.

Take off your shoes.

Wow.

First thing I do when a relationship ends is bury all evidence deep in the earth.

But this guy's got a giant photo of you up on his wall.

Yeah. Palmer is not like that.

Like what?

Petty.

So that's what you're into?

- Not-petty, Pulitzer-winning type guys. - God, it was not a date.

There any food?

Help yourself.

Where'd you go between Steve's and here?

Just walked around, tried to clear my head. You?

The office.

What office? You were fired.

Kept my key card. Needed a computer.

Okay. So, I did a bunch of searches on Steve's address.

Turns out, actually his name, Steven Price.

Finally got what I thought was going to be his cell.

Recording said the number was not in use.

Maybe it wasn't his.

Well, then I called the number for the father of Charlotte's squadron leader.

- Mr. Alameda. - Yep.

Recording said the number was not in use.

It was working the day before yesterday.

Who the fuck are we dealing with?

So do we go to the police?

I'm guessing they're the kind of people who would make sure that goes nowhere.

These expired two years ago.

No, stop.

Here.

- You had these the whole time? - What is our next move?

Do we even have one?

I mean, without that comms recording, we are move-less.

Well, he said someone in Moldova recorded the unencrypted comms.

If we could find out who that is,

maybe we can get another copy of the recording. Leak it.

How do we find someone we know nothing about?

You know, at Steve's, that chess game.

Weird, right? It's like his whole mood shifted when his turn was up.

There was something going on.

He was, like, a couple of moves away from mate, and he just exposed his king.

Maybe he was just distracted.

And what if he wasn't playing to win?

What if he was playing to communicate?

What do you mean?

Okay.

When Snowden leaked those NSA documents in 2013,

it came out that government agents were using World of Warcraft

to infiltrate terrorist organizations.

They thought the terrorists might be using online games to communicate.

What would he be trying to say?

I don't know. The king... the king has fallen?

Look, it doesn't matter what he meant.

If we can just find out who his opponent was,

we may have another lead.

How do we do that?

Okay, I caught just the tail end of his username.

It was something, something...

"big foot lives."

Well, that's ridiculous.

- Great. We got him. - A little.

It's what I saw.

What?

Well, you're good at this, Nancy Drew.

No, no. Don't call me that.

They called you that at school? It's a sore point?

Call me that again. Find out.

I'll kill you. I'll kill you in your sleep.

Lukas fucking Kyle.

They tell me you've been looking for me.

Okay. I'm afraid you're not gonna like what I have to say.

What do you have to say?

You and your Outsiders keep telling people it's safe outside.

- Because it is. - No. It isn't.

What you see on the screens in the cafeteria,

that's exactly what it's like.

Fuck me.

They got to you. No wonder we couldn't find him.

He was probably their guest in a big apartment up top.

I've been in the mines.

I've seen the cleaning video, asshole.

I know that they're lying.

It is a fucking paradise out there.

That video gets put in the helmets

so whoever they send outside actually cleans.

Video in the helmet?

You believe him?

Why would he lie?

"Why would he lie?"

- Are you fucking-- - Shit.
