The Last House

- -

- -

You're my first catch in days, but

you're too little.

Whoa, look what's coming.

That one looks nasty.

Yeah, it does.

I better get home before it hits.

-See you tomorrow. -So long.

Everyone remembers where they were the day the rain came.

It was a Sunday, not quite winter.

The forecast had called for sun.

This low-pressure system offshore has turned

and is moving in fast.

Expect periods of heavy rain showers across the city today,

with winds gusting up to 30 miles per hour

and the threat of minor coastal flooding and high surf.

The holidays are a month away,

and hopefully, the surprise turn in the weather will…

People went about their mornings as usual.

-Ready? -Yeah, let's do it.

We lived close to each other then…

Okay, bye.

…but it was easy to feel alone.

Guys, come on. It's gonna rain.

Yeah, let's go inside.

The day the rain came,

we learned

we were not alone.

Last December was the warmest on record

for western Washington, so keep tuned in for updates.

Come on. Come on.

And we learned just how far some will go

to protect their home.

Hey, where is everybody?

Where is everybody?

There's my old boy.

Good morning.

-I can't believe the kids let me sleep in. -Was wondering why it was so quiet.

You caught us breakfast?

Oh yeah. Big catch this morning.

World's best fisherman.

-I know. -Thank you.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Wake up! -Donuts!

-Whoa! - Donuts!

- Gimme. - Can we make bacon?

- Just calm down. Just… Come on. - Bacon!

- Please leave some for us! - Vultures.

-Total vultures. - Turn it on!

-Okay. - Make it work.

I just gave Cassidy his meds, and don't feed him any bacon.

You deserve it more than they do.

-Dad, the streaming stopped working. -

I don't know. I think this house is really falling apart.

-I'm ready to move when you are. -Sure.

A few more lottery tickets and we should be good to go.

Hey.

You know I'm just kidding, right?

This isn't all on you.

Oh, the guy is coming tomorrow to check the cracks in the chimney.

Mm.

- This is new. -What?

He thinks our foundation is sinking,

so the only thing holding the house together is the chimney.

The house collapsing on us while we're sleeping would be a bummer.

Do you still wanna go buy a Christmas tree?

-It's raining out there. -Come on.

Wait, wait. Dad, come on. You promised. Please.

- I didn't promise. You promised. - Dad!

-You promised. - Dad!

-Who promised you guys? - You!

-Yeah, let's go. -Come on.

Let's buy a tree.

- Let's go! - I wanna pick!

-Help me put my shoes on. -You know how to put your shoes on.

Hey, no scooter in the house.

Come on, Mom! Let's go!

-She always takes forever. -Then you shouldn't act surprised, right?

Help your sister put her shoes on. Go wait in the car.

Ann! Let's go!

-Don't rush me. -I'm not.

I'm hiding from our children.

Seriously, when can we stop doing this tree thing?

It's Christmas, you Grinch.

Okay, what did you do?

You have to unlock it, stupid.

-I did, stupid! -Shut up!

Stop arguing! You're both stupid.

It won't open because of Graham.

- Don't blame me. That was you. - You obviously did something!

No, I didn't. Why do you blame me all the time?

It's all your fault!

This is why I'm the favorite, and you always cause problems.

- Shut up. You're such a baby. - I'm not a baby!

I'm 8 years old!

What did you two do?

- Nothing! - Ugh!

- Quiet, Cass. -

Okay, Cass, shush.

Guys. Why aren't you in the car?

-Door won't open. -Can't get out.

We've tried every door. Nothing will open.

-You guys. Guys. -I'll try the windows in my room.

What? Okay.

This is absurd.

Yeah. It's a prank. Teenagers.

They glued all the windows and doors shut or something, right?

No prank. Quiet, Cass!

But I don't have any service.

Not connected. No Wi-Fi.

Unplug the router and plug it back in. D'you try that?

-Did you pay the bill? - Yes.

Cass, quiet!

Do you have signal now?

-No, nothing. - Mom, Dad.

I tried the windows in my room. Nothing's working.

-It's like it's glued shut. -Every window in there is stuck.

- Cass! -

- Dad! - Dad.

Are you okay?

- Are you okay? -Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

-I'm fine. - Okay.

What is going… Dad!

-I don't understand. -Okay, stand back.

-Why? Wait. What are you talking about? - Dad!

-No, no! -Stand back. I'll take care of this.

Jason, no!

-Just stop! -Mom!

- Stop! - Dad!

Mom.

Dad.

Kids.

Dad, look!

- -

-Oh my God. - It's not just us.

-Hey, we can't get out. -Look, someone's coming.

Yeah.

That's what's-her-name from across the street.

-Greg's wife. -Whatever her name is.

- Susan. - Susan!

Susan, go get help!

We're stuck in here! Go get help!

- He can't get out either. -I'll be right back.

Okay, okay, good. She's gonna go get help.

-She's gonna go get help. - Yeah.

Great. It's okay.

-So we're fine. - Okay. Yeah. I know.

It's… I…

It's okay.

Yeah, it's okay. Yeah.

- -

Okay, guys, let's see what the neighbors are up to.

-You know all the neighbors? -Pretty much.

Yeah, so the Richardsons are across the street.

They have three grandchildren, and I think Max is a dentist.

Yeah. That's what's-his-name.

-Bike boy. - Hmm?

-Bike boy? -Bike boy?

One of those guys who wears all that dumb gear.

It's Greg. His wife was the one who ran to go get help.

Why isn't she back yet?

Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be back with the police soon.

Then there's that nosy guy down there.

Oof.

-What's his name? -Oh my God.

Do you know anyone's name here on this street?

Yeah, this annoying lady with the dog.

Who else?

Oh, yeah. Let's not forget doofus with the boat.

What was it called?

"Seas the Day"?

Such a doofus.

-Good job. -Mm-hmm.

-Ann. -Mm?

"This was a one-night stand. LOL."

Oh no!
