The Night The World Ends

The emergency alert system has been activated

power outages across the country are continuing...

I don't understand why everybody is so

obsessed with taking a

vacation at your dad's old cabin.

The place creeps me out.

It's like, how many

people are left in town?

Last time I checked the

census, it was like a dozen.

But think about it like we got the whole

cabin to ourselves, right?

And it's nostalgic.

There's a patio

there's a lake, there's a beach.

It's like you're going back in time.

So good to get off that goddamn car.

How much longer are you guys going to be?

I needed to go for hours.

You are not using this bathroom.

On every trip we go on, you take these

massive shits, go find

another one down the hall,

and leave us in peace.

Also, do you guys

have any pregnancy tests?

I think I'm late.

Uh-oh.

Geez.

God, where we are,

there's like nothing nearby.

Okay, so when Ted goes out, I will go

with him and grab some

pregnancy tests when I can.

Don't tell anybody else, especially Ted.

He will let Rick know in a heartbeat.

Does Ted ever talk to you about what

happened to his parents?

So sad.

Once or twice when he was really

hammered, but whenever I

ask him and he's sober,

he just changes the subject.

That's so sad.

Anyway, I'm going to go

to that other bathroom now.

Uh, guys, I guess we're out of a

couple things, so I'm going to have to go

to the store to get some.

So, Ted, how do we get down to the lake

so we can get this party started?

There's a trail out back.

Feel free.

Are there bears here?

Black bears, I think, but I've

never actually seen one.

What about Bigfoot?

Sure, buddy.

There's Bigfoot, too.

No, actually, I think I was like 11 and

we went on this hiking trip.

We experienced something.

It was like strange smells and weird

sounds, but I don't know

if it was actually Bigfoot.

Well, good thing you

have your dad's gun here.

Did it smell like homeless people?

It didn't smell like

people at all, actually.

It was weird.

It smelled like a dead animal.

Actually, speaking of things that smell

bad, did you guys hear how many more

people became homeless after last year?

86 million.

Can you fucking believe that?

Do you guys ever stop and

think about how lucky we are?

Just the fact that we can

go places and afford things?

Yeah, think about it all the time.

You think things will ever get better,

you know, with the economy?

My dad says it will.

Eventually.

Really?

My mom thinks it's going to get worse.

Especially with the war in Asia?

Maybe. One day.

At least this time we're

staying the fuck out of that mess.

What I don't understand is why the hell

don't we just start

making things here again?

Your boyfriend's dad is the senator.

Ask him.

It costs too much.

People don't want to buy shit made here

when shit made elsewhere is,

you know, a quarter of the cost.

Yeah, but why not just tax the fuck out

of imports so people can have jobs again?

Anybody else lose their cell reception?

I haven't had signal for hours.

Mine stopped working

and drained the battery.

Same here.

Wait, so no one has cell reception?

That's weird.

I've never had trouble

with reception here before.

Don't sweat it.

I was kind of looking to just unwind and

disconnect for the week anyway.

Yeah, it sucks though.

Okay, um, I'm going to go to the store.

Does anybody need anything else?

Wait, I'm going to come with.

Everything okay?

No, um, my girlfriend and.

I, our car just broke down.

Out of gas?

No, um, I had it converted to an electric

motor a few years back.

When gas was like, $50 a gallon.

It just... lost all power.

I'd call for a tow, but...

I can't get any cell

reception around here.

Yeah, I noticed I lost cell reception

a couple hours back.

Shoot.

I was hoping to use your

guys' phone to call for a tow.

Sorry to bother you.

Hey, wait, um...

My family has a cabin

that's like 20 minutes away.

You guys are welcome to come

and use our landline there.

Seriously?

That would be amazing.

Yeah, and it'll probably take the tow a

couple hours to get out here still, so...

You're welcome to come and chill with us.

We've got a beach and a lake house.

And I'll drive you guys back

out once the tow gets out here.

You guys are awesome.

Honey, come on!

I'm Miranda.

Hi, I'm Kristen.

Hi, I'm Will.

I'm Ted.

It's nice to meet all of you.

Thank you so much.

We've been stuck out here for hours.

You're literally the first

person we've seen all day.

Yeah, not a lot of people come out here

since the economy went to shit.

So, what brought you two out here?

Oh, we were just on a camping trip.

Yeah, a few nights by the lake.

So, are you guys in school?

I graduated recently.

Oxford, in England.

I'm still in school.

Med school, actually, at Harvard.

So, hopefully be doing

my residency next year.

You're a long way from home.

Alright, let's get you two to the phone.

Hi.

Who the hell are these two?

This is Kristen and Will.

Their car broke down, so we're trying to

help them call a tow truck.

Hey, I'm Pam.

Absolutely love your outfit.

What are you doing?

Wi-Fi and phones are down.

So, Doug, can you fix it?

Dude, I have no idea.

I think it's a down line or something.

Everything's connected.

I can't figure out what it is.

It's okay if you can't get it to work.

It was worth a try.

You know what?

I'll just drive you guys.

Yeah, if you don't

mind, that would be great.

I can give you some money.

Stop, stop.

It's fine.

Kristen, do you want to

stay here while they go?

It's up to you.
