The first 200 lines.
Previously on The Last Man...
There's been an event.
The men are dead, Regina.
I am the president of the United States.
How is this not an immediate constitutional crisis?
If we're a united front, she'll fall in line.
"Dr. Allison Mann, Harvard."
Boston's been hard to contain. Violence, looting.
I can get him out of here.
When were you gonna tell us about Regina Oliver?
We'll handle the situation.
A lot of people screaming conspiracy.
We need to talk about the pilots.
They're gonna be a problem.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa!
What happened?
How long till they realize
that two helicopters are missing?
When they do, they'll be looking for the two missing pilots
that stole them.
When we're done with the scientists,
I'll help you find your girlfriend.
‐I'm sorry. ‐Well, we'll get to Boston
by tomorrow.
What do you think she's like?
"Hi, I'm Dr. Allison Mann from Harvard.
Ever heard of it? I'm a geneticist."
It's like, put it away, you know?
Bet she makes a big deal about not owning a TV.
I don't care if you like her.
We just need her to do her job.
Okay, well, I'm just saying we should be ready
for the possibility that she's terrible.
I do not care about her as a person, Yorick.
Do you care about me as a person?
‐Not even remotely. ‐Yeah, I don't believe you.
What?
‐Oh, shit. ‐
Clear the streets immediately.
For your protection, this area will be going under curfew.
Can you put your mask on, please?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
‐ ‐
You're a dark spirit, Boston.
Keep this area clear.
Stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down.
That's a lot of security.
Come on, let's move.
‐Oh, we're leaving? ‐Yeah. Move. Stay low.
Do not move, Yorick. Do not wander.
Plant roots here, understand? Mm‐hmm.
Good. Also, I value you as a human being and as a friend.
And we are gonna find this Dr. Mann, and then we'll
get the fuck out of this terrifying hellscape.
What are you... Okay.
Uh, yeah. What's the game plan?
‐Do not move. Do not... ‐Wander?
Yes, I know.
Okay.
Hey, Yorick?
‐Yeah. ‐Put your mask down.
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh...
Yeah, what was I supposed to say?
She's never given me a knife before.
- Incoming. On foot. - Stop right there!
Hands up! ‐Identify yourself.
Stand down.
I'm Sergeant Nash,
82nd Airborne.
Why aren't you in uniform?
We were clearing debris on Fayette.
Assholes found a stash of grenades.
First Sergeant didn't want us making their job
easier on them.
Are you gonna let me through, Private?
I've had a pretty shitty day. I'd like to take my shoes off.
Come on.
Jesus.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Quiet, boy. Quiet.
Fuck. Come on, come on.
‐ ‐Shh, quiet.
Or I'll tell her it was your idea.
She one of ours or one of theirs?
- She's one of Harvard's. - ‐
We count those as ours.
High value?
‐She's a geneticist. ‐All right.
Yeah.
That's a lot of tear gas. Haven't seen any rioters yet.
They like to ambush us, catch us off guard.
We stay ready.
So what's the game plan?
We rile them up, they stick their head out of
whatever hole they're hiding in‐‐ Hang on.
Good.
We hit 'em with the gas,
maybe a little nonlethal ammo.
Break 'em up for a couple hours.
They'll come back, they'll rattle the cages for a while.
We'll get some sleep, they'll get some sleep,
and we'll do it all over again tomorrow.
‐What do they want? ‐Attention.
A time machine. I don't know.
- Answers. - Get in line.
Just let them have the buildings.
What's so special about Harvard?
Research. Priceless art. History.
Somebody in Washington wants to protect them, so...
They want to burn 'em down.
Uh, your Dr. Mann's not on our list.
Okay, well, I need access to her lab. The Science Center?
The Science Center was the first place they got.
It's gone. And if your Dr. Mann was inside,
she's gone, too.
Ready when you are.
Uh, you're doing this right now?
Might rain later.
Shit.
What are you doing in here?
Hey, answer me.
You're a friend, right?
Fucking act like it.
Hey, open up! ‐Drop it.
‐ ‐Let me in!
How come we've got no clean water,
and they've got unlimited tear gas?
Be useful.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Okay. Okay, I'll get you.
I'll get you, get you, get you.
Okay, okay, okay. All right.
Aah!
You okay?
Camo fucks!
Get something to eat before we go back out there.
Okay.
15 minutes to clear the gas.
Waiting's the worst part.
Thanks.
Were you here in 2013 for the manhunt?
After the marathon?
Whole city locked down.
No one left the house.
Just waiting.
You got a place to go?
My brother's in Jamaica Plain with a few guys.
They've got testosterone, if you need it.
Place to sleep.
It's got to be better than being on your own.
I'm... I'm with a friend.
What, do you work at the zoo or something?
‐Uh, rescued from a lab. ‐Right on.
Tom's above Bella Luna if you ever need anything.
Tell him Steph sent you.
I'm Steph.
Yorick.
Hey, where'd they find him again?
The manhunt. I can't remember.
Hiding in a rowboat.
No one can hide forever
when the whole world's looking.
Hey. Hey, hey.
Yeah, we gotta move. Okay? We gotta move.
They're tear gassing protesters. Come on.
‐You okay? What happened? ‐Nothing.
Okay, where's my knife?
Uh, I lost it.
Where the‐‐ where the hell is Dr. Mann?
The lab's destroyed. The whole science building's rubble.
Come on, we gotta move. Come. Come on, come on, move, move.
Let's go, let's go.
The Israelis land in an hour.
So they'll drop off Secretary Oliver,
then it's our show from Annapolis.
Armored caravans, lead teams clearing roads.
Off‐road vehicles if we need them.
‐Okay. Good. ‐Good.
‐Yep. ‐Good. Done.
I'd like to talk to you about those two
missing choppers, if you got some time.
I never have some time.
Let's do it now.
So, there is tracking software
in those birds, if we can get it working.
We've got a team on it.
Well, let's keep it small.
We can't spare the resources,
and we don't want rumors.
When Secretary Oliver gets here,
she will be greeted with full decorum. Welcome home.
Welcome home.
And then at some point, we'll sit her down
and tell her how thankful we are‐‐
I am‐‐ that she's alive.
‐ ‐And how much we look forward to her
joining us in a senior position of some kind.
‐Do not say, "of some kind." ‐Wait!
‐How senior? I don't even think that you should be there.
