The Mist

Previously on "The Mist"...

- Hey! - He tried to skip the rations

and just eat whatever he wanted.

We got two days worth of rations left.

Take away food, take away water...

that's when people start doing bad things.

Anyone who endangers the group is thrown out!

Fuck all of you!

I want to be someone you can believe in.

I'm gonna do rapid detox.

I need your help.

Do you know what a trial by ordeal is?

We walk into the mist.

Whoever dies, we will provide an answer for the people here.

They will know who to follow.

Help!

Mom, no!

I told you to stay away from her!

Mom, stop! He saved me.

There are signs of intercourse, but no violence.

There are also traces of triazolam in her blood.

I want to find the boy who raped my daughter.

I want him to suffer,

and then I want him to learn

that there will be no salvation.

We're lost.

We're not lost.

We're on Laurel.

This is my neighborhood.

Stop the car.

Stop the car!

- What? - This is my street.

I need to go.

I need to check on them. I'm sorry.

Adrian...

I have to say goodbye.

We're almost out of gas.

- Your parents have a car? - Yeah.

I'll figure out the gas problem.

It'll only be a second.

I'll go with you.

I'm fine.

It's okay.

I'll help you with the gas.

I'll stay here with the car.

Nathalie, tell us what's going on.

When does the miracle happen?

The Black Spring is the miracle.

This is bullshit!

When it happened back in 1860,

it was because a young woman was abused,

and now it has happened again.

Nature took Mikhail, because he had done awful things,

things he went to prison for.

Nature took Link because of what he did to me.

Nature took Romanov, because he ordered Link.

Every time, She spared me.

Now think about that before you question me again.

I miss it.

Are you going out there again?

Soon...

when I know what it wants me to do.

You probably shouldn't touch me.

Your mom will shoot off my hand.

And even if it's burned, I kind of like it.

Any news on the western front?

A ton of arguing

about how they were going to split rations.

It's basically Gus and a calculator.

He's starting to talk about scavenger parties, expeditions.

He's asking for volunteers.

I imagine he wasn't successful.

It's going to be bad.

It already is bad.

It's going to be a lot worse.

What can I do?

You can find me a room,

one with no windows.

Can I sit?

Of course. Please, please.

We were married here, Liza and I.

Romanov married you?

He did.

He buried her, too.

When he did, he told me.

God listens to those who call to Him with favor.

It was church talk for,

"It's your fault for not praying hard enough."

I'm glad he didn't come back with you.

You walked through that door alone,

and I felt...

lighter.

It must have been very hard for you.

What?

Raising a baby alone.

My mother was not...

She wasn't around...

so I know how it is to be raised by a dad who...

It's the last thing that I wanted for Jay.

But that's what he got.

I had no idea what I was doing.

I don't know how to, uh...

talk about things

or teach someone how to be,

you know...

a person.

And I messed up...

and I raised a boy who, uh...

What?

I think he did it.

I guess that, uh, part of me knew that first night,

but when I went out there for you in the mist,

I could feel it in every part of me.

I think that he raped that girl.

Come.

Hi, Dad.

There's some food on the stove if you want.

Where's Mom?

In the living room.

On the third day after the mist came,

she couldn't sleep.

She was so afraid.

I woke up, and she was standing on the stoop.

They already got her.

Who?

Birds, huge flocks of them.

Got the gun when I heard her scream,

but I was too late.

God, I-it's all my fault.

I made him what he is.

You're a good man.

No, I'm not.

I lost him the minute I lost her.

How do people get through the loss?

How are you getting over Benedict?

Did you know that the trails that airplanes leave in the sky

contain biohazardous toxic waste from hospitals?

So many horrible things in the world.

Just awful.

Bad people, bad, bad people

hurting the very thing that gives us life.

And now Mother Nature has had enough.

I don't know what to do.

Yes, you do.

You're blinded by society,

but deep down, you know.

You know, and it's not your fault.

You just need to open your eyes.

Tell me how to open them.

Feel your purpose.

- I don't know what my purpose is. - Yes, you do.

Tell me what my purpose is.

You must feel it yourself. Trust your instincts.

I don't think that I have instincts.

They're better than you think.

I don't think that I have a purpose.

Everything in nature has a purpose, even violence.

Animals kill to survive.

They don't kill for pleasure.

Only humans do that,

and when they do, they trespass against Nature's order.

That is why the Black Spring is here.

It is here to take the trespassers.

Jay?

My purpose is to restore order.

It always was.

You were just following the wrong law.

Hey.

Does it suit me?

So beautiful.

Come here.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm coming for you.

Oh.

You okay?

Yeah. Good thing I went with the bigger helmet.

Wait. Let me get to you.

I'm good. I'm fine.

- You're good? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

Okay.

Did you ever want to live like that?

Like what?

You know, garden furniture, barbecue,

Christmas lights?

I don't remember, remember?

Yeah, but what does your gut tell you?

Sounds kind of nice, don't you think?

No.

I think the bank of restaurants is closer.

Still half a mile.

But without power for the last week,

I don't think there will really be enough good food

to make it worth it,

so maybe Pricemart's gotta be our spot.

It could already be raided.

Do you know what she's doing right now?

- Who? - You know who, Alex.

What is she doing, Shelley?

She's making out with the boy she accused of raping her.

Jesus!
