Episode #3.3

Pulse is good. How'd you sleep?

Fine.

Any dreams?

All right, Madam Mayor. I'll see you later.

Hey, Jerry?

Yes, ma'am?

Yesterday you asked me to be honest with you when I need space.

Today...

I'd like to walk the Silo...

by myself.

Is that okay?

Yes, ma'am.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

I'll see you.

Juan was a little boy...

when we first brought him here.

It's right after I got back from Desert Storm.

Right before Ally went over for her tour.

And the night before his first deployment,

Juanito sat over there with us,

eating something Rudy made for him.

Bacon burger with extra onions and mustard.

A taste that he got from his mother that I'll never understand.

He...

He told us that he wanted to make us proud.

We were proud before he left.

You all know that.

And you were too.

You know, he's left again.

We'll see him... someday.

I'm gonna have a burger today.

Juanito's way.

Just today.

Rudy'll take care of you.

Thanks.

Mr. Alameda, I'm Daniel Keene, Charlotte's brother.

I know who you are, Congressman.

Your sister is family to us,

which makes you the same.

- How is she? - She's all right.

Her memory's been affected.

We just...

Well, I have a lot of questions.

Yeah.

We all do.

Come on.

I don't know if this is the right time,

but as former military yourself, do you have knowledge that maybe...

I get...

Someone told me that before the mission,

the whole squadron's communication devices were switched out.

Downgraded to comms that were discontinued years ago,

even before my time in the service.

Juan called me right before,

told me his radio was older than he was.

Why would they do that?

Prevent jamming? I don't know.

But it exposed them to a whole lot more.

Buddy of mine who was charged with filling out forms on the incident

said that because the comms weren't encrypted,

they could have easily been recorded.

- By? - Nearly anyone.

Said it wouldn't have been hard to do.

So it's probably out there somewhere.

Did he happen to say where we could get a copy--

No. Told me to put it out of my mind.

Because it's... top secret?

No. Because he's a friend.

Because he thinks it's easier for me to move on

if I'm not thinking about all those sick people

sitting around listening to the sound of my son's death.

That's the cap of the Nimitz .

I better...

You know,

been out nearly 20 years...

and I still straighten up.

She spit the meds out in there last night and in here this morning.

Thank you, Amy.

You want me to double it tonight, or...

Keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks.

What is it?

Just more delays on the rebar.

You headed out already?

Yeah.

See you out there.

What?

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Hi. - Madam Mayor.

Is the Sheriff home? I heard I might be able to catch him here.

No. He left last night on a missing persons in the Mids.

Do you mind if I come in?

Have we met before? I'm sor... I can't...

No.

Really? I didn't... I didn't come visit you as a sheriff

when your husband was my deputy?

No.

What do you know about Patrick Kennedy and Lukas Kyle?

Nothing. I don't mean to rush, but I got a busy day ahead of--

I get it. You never heard of them?

Either of them?

Patrick Kennedy being the biggest fugitive in the Silo?

I don't really keep up with the gossip.

Right.

What happened to your wrist?

I fell.

You were part of the break-in, weren't you?

I'm not here to have you arrested, okay.

I wanna know where Patrick Kennedy is, that's all.

Does your husband know you're an Outsider?

If your husband knows you're an Outsider,

it makes perfect sense why Kennedy hasn't been caught

and maybe why Lukas hasn't been found.

Lukas Kyle is dead.

And Kennedy knows places in this Silo that Paul,

his deputies, the raiders, anyone wouldn't know where to look.

Right, but you know where to look.

I don't believe Lukas is alive.

Kennedy hunted him for months and found nothing.

Even had us follow his mother.

Did you talk to her?

She said the last time she saw Lukas was in her apartment

during the rebellion, not long before you came back.

Sims came in with a gun.

Wanted to know what Bernard and Lukas were talking about.

Threatened to kill him, his mother...

Lukas refused to say.

That was the last time she saw him.

They never took you down to the bottom, did they?

Paul said the bodies were three deep over the circulation fans on 144.

They were running the incinerator 24 hours a day.

Looks like Lukas Kyle was turned to ash months ago.

She's been spitting out her medication, which is not good.

However, from what we've been able to discern,

she's currently out in the Silo looking for Lukas Kyle.

And that is good?

Her search for Kyle will likely yield nothing.

But if by following Juliette we can get confirmation of his death

and lure Kennedy out, we may not need the Vitamin D+.

Two improbable possibilities in pursuit

of a result easily achieved with one proven act.

You fear that loss of memory means loss of self-consciousness,

loss of identity, the end of personal existence.

The data has been presented.

The choice remains solely in your hands,

along with the lives of 9,913 people.

Consider expediting the transport of Vitamin D+ to Filtration.

The sooner you introduce Vitamin D+ to the water supply,

the better the probability of survival...

in a time when your Silo is dangerously close to a Safeguard.

Hey.

- How was the service? - Listen, I spoke to Juan's father.

And he thinks we could probably find a recording

of the mission's comms somewhere on the Internet.

- The dark web? - Well, he didn't say that, but sure.

I don't know when to begin with something like that.

- Well, I do. - Okay. How are you doing?

I will call you later.

Hey! Hey, you.

I am so close to being done

with this exposé on the sordid sex lives of supposed celibates,

- but I am working on something huge. - Helen.

Okay? It's something worthy of the Pulitzer.

I don't want a Pulitzer.

I just wanted you to do your job.

I'm doing the job, Phil.

I would just rather work remote, than hang out in this playground all day.

I'm letting you go.

What?

We've taken the liberty of packing up your things.

Security will see you out.

- What? Hey, what... - Try not to make a scene, okay?

Wow. Wow. You're not serious, right?

Okay.

I didn't even want this fucking job.

Okay, yeah. Thank you.

I can't remember going for longer than a day without hearing from Orla.

Probably just working on something for McLain,

but the Sheriff will track her down.

You have children, Sheriff?

I do. A daughter.

Then you get it.

See that our baby gets home.

I will.

Thanks.

They still think of us as kids, but you met Orla.

She's no child.

Our parents worked in Supply for decades before this job,

but Orla was the first one in our family to become shadow.

Anything else important that you need me to know?

Anyone I should talk to?

Well, along with her new job, Orla has a new boyfriend, Mike Davidson.

He'd been with Glenda Harwood,

McLain's previous shadow.

- That's kind of odd. - Yeah.

I stay out of her love life.

Last time you saw her, was there anything strange or different?
