Wayward Pines

Welcome back to Wayward Pines.

We can work together for the good of Wayward Pines.

Catch all-new episodes Wednesdays.

And check out our other Fox programs... Bones

and Houdini & Doyle.

Never believe what you don't see with your own eyes.

Only on Fox.

It is the year 4032.

Man's destruction of the environment has

created evolutionary aberrations

known as Abbies...

that rule the earth.

One man saw the catastrophe coming.

He created an ark for mankind

and selected a chosen few

to sleep for 2,000 years

and defy mankind's extinction.

Surrounded by mountains and protected

by an electric fence,

the last of humanity left alive on Earth

do their best to survive in a town called Wayward Pines.

Previously on Wayward Pines...

Use the flamethrowers.

We're all still here because of you, CJ.

They learned how to use fire,

they learned that the fields were important.

You make it sound as if the Abbies had a plan.

I heard you caught one of those creatures.

It's the first female we've ever seen.

Her palm... does it have a mark?

It's like a brand.

There is something

exquisite about her.

Temporal gyrus.

Hers appears to be double the size of ours.

Do you think she can understand us?

The Abbies have reentered the valley

outside the fence.

Are you sure

the fence is impenetrable?

The fence is secure.

What if you're wrong?

Then we're dead.

We're safe. Right, Dr. Yedlin?

Incoming! We've got incoming!

...all the crops are dying.

Closer to home:

As Pacific Northwest residents,

they do continue to welcome North Korean refugees.

Secretary of State Curry assured reporters yesterday

that anyone crossing U.S. borders

had been scanned for the H1R3 virus.

Was it a mistake?

Well, I suppose no one's

really sleeping.

I checked your microscope with the moldy bread.

Your penicillin spores are multiplying.

Wish we'd thought of that sooner.

You didn't think it was important to tell me about this?

It's... it's a tribal mark.

That took a tool.

That took a design. That took a tribe.

Look, she got in here,

and none of you've been able to figure out how.

Jason is working on that and I'm confident...

She's not here by accident.

She understands.

And we better get what she understands,

or it is over.

And how would we go about doing that?

We establish a system.

Yes, no.

Teach her a pattern, a common language, or...

understand hers.

Just like that?

Taught my dog to go outside in two days.

She's smarter than that.

Abby Comprehension 101.

Associating images with meaning

is the basis of all language.

I suppose if-if the female brain is superior, then...

Communication should be successful.

Maybe even easier than with our own species.

Hey, I'm-I'm so sorry about what's going on with your wife.

She was such a visionary at one point, with the little

garages in the backs of the houses.

Now finds her only solace in heads of hair.

But, really, my-my condolences, truly.

But d-don't worry about anything.

Jason's going to find you another mate, I'm sure.

Maybe I've already found one.

What do they eat?

Pellets

made from leftover rations, mostly... why?

Are you wanting to reward her?

I'm not using it to reward her.

I'm using it to teach her.

Ready? Okay.

Green.

Green means yes.

Yes.

It's for you, yes.

Red.

No.

No.

Hand.

Friend.

Friend.

Friend.

She's my friend.

Friend.

Am I supposed to eat one of these, now?

If you perform well.

Crown...

is leader.

Leader.

Bow to me a little bit.

I beg your pardon?

Listen, I'm trying to show her deference.

Don't get your ego into this.

It's 'cause I'm standing up and you're...

(sighs Just bow a little bit.

Leader.

Yes.

No.

Friend. Leader.

And if she doesn't speak English,

how does this help us move forward?

It's the same as when you go to a foreign country.

You grasp concepts, body language.

Say you walk into the middle

of a family argument in some random apartment

in, North Korea.

You don't speak the language, but you know

who's in power, who's at fault,

who's scared, who's amused.

We can teach her, and she can teach us.

Beverly, now, the last time we talked,

you were having a hard time with your marigolds.

I'm telling you stick with it.

They keep the pests away.

Don't you listen to Harold.

He's still mad at me from that game last week.

Harold... I told you

I played pick-up in the Army, didn't I?

And massive explosions continue to be seen

for miles away, as the air assault continues

with no end in sight.

Civilians and...

This is an alert...

Please proceed...

You'll be given...

Hey!

Don't move!

I don't carry fire.

What?

Your metal.

Please. Where are you from?

I haven't seen anyone in a while.

Clean.

I'm CJ.

Griffin.

Where are you coming from?

West.

You don't mean Old West?

Only fragments remain.

Yes.

It used to be beautiful.

How-how are the fish?

We're lucky the water's clean.

West.

Water's potable.

Anywhere closer...

You lost someone?

Didn't everyone?

Look at that one.

Hey.

Wow!

I'll go build a fire.

Listen, I have to go alone.

Why?

I left when I did just to make it easier.

How is this easier?

We would survive together.

No!

Who's helping you?

You're here...

close, cared for.

I can't.

How can you not?!

Help me!

Take me with you!

It's my job to take care of them.

Why not me?!

Take me!

I'm sorry.

I can't.

Why do you have the right to be safe?!

There are so many people we couldn't save.

All I can save you from is what's coming next.
