Fallout

My name is Diane Welch,

congresswoman for the District of Glendale.

I don't think America can afford

any more corporate influence in Washington.

War never changes.

I know what you're planning to do, Barb.

For Janey. Wouldn't you?

There are worse people out there than me, Coop.

We definitely gotta sell it.

We'll give it to a good person.

Stop them!

Press the button, it's the only way.

It's just you and me now, Bets.

The water crisis in 33 is getting worse.

There's a Keepsake Box

that Hank brought with him to Vault 31.

It's locked, but if you bring me that box,

I'll consider giving you access to our water.

Forced Evolutionary Virus.

- Is that... - Fuck.

Hey.

Have you seen Woody?

No, huh?

Hey, what about Woody?

They're coming! They're coming!

No!

-Lord tunderin' Jaysus. -Mom.

Halt. Back to the internment camp, hosers.

Turn around and start walking, or I will shoot.

What the f--

No.

- It's okay. - No.

It's okay, baby.

Now you just go south.

You cross that border and you keep going south.

You get somewhere warm.

I know I raised you Catholic,

but you forget all that, okay?

You forget everything those people ever said.

You're coming with me.

It's too late for me, my love.

There's a flood coming.

Now, you keep your head above that water any way you can.

And you get south of that border and you cling to the highest branch

you can find, and you survive.

If you have to hurt people, God won't judge you.

Hey, beautiful.

Passport?

Don't think of them as human beings.

Think of them as Americans.

Well, I guess this is one way to save the world.

But it's wrong.

Perfect is the enemy of good, Lucy.

What does it do to their brains?

Tidies things up a bit.

Cleans the memory of the horrors they've experienced.

This dial controls how much amnesia they have,

and the mainframe implants new ideas in their heads.

Turning these Wastelanders into well-meaning, good people.

I'm shutting this whole thing down, and I'm bringing you home.

How do I do that?

Once the procedure's been finished, it's irreversible.

Fine.

Then, how do I stop you from making more?

Well, we have to destroy the mainframe which programs the Boxes,

-and that's in the basement. -How do I get there?

It's a bit of a hike.

Let's take the golf cart.

What's a golf cart?

Oh.

Lucy?

This is gonna be fun!

Straighten it out.

There you go.

Alright, back. Good.

You're doing great. You're doing great.

Keep the speed up.

Alright, this is a toughie, Lucy.

You don't use both feet.

-What? There's two pedals. -I know.

But you just use one foot for both pedals.

That doesn't make any sense.

You'll get it.

You're doing great.

Really wish we'd had a normal life, Sugarbomb.

We did have one, Dad. You wrecked it.

The mainframe is in there.

Okay, I need water and I need potassium.

To make an explosive?

What if you don't have potassium?

I can make do with, um...

-Come on, you got this. -With, uh...

Oh, mind the floor.

I just mopped.

Thank you.

You know, the Legion is still out there.

I know.

They're gonna hurt a lot of people.

Yes.

And with what you've created, you could stop them.

We could stop them, Lucy.

Hey.

Just a couple of ghouls. Am I right?

Just talking ghoul stuff.

So, you fought that guy?

Yeah, but I was wearing Power Armor.

Well, you know, that Armor's really hard to operate.

When I was in that shit, I tried to pick up a cup in the cafeteria,

it was crazy.

You sure we should be following him?

He said he would take us to Lucy.

Hey, where are we going?

Lucky 38.

Uh, we're-we're goin' the wrong direction.

Vegas is that way.

You wanna save the girl, you're gonna have to get into an impenetrable Vault,

the same Vault my family is in.

To get there, you're gonna have to cross the Strip.

You wanna cross the Strip, you gon' have to kill a pack of Deathclaws.

We need to kit up.

So, Lucy's in Las Vegas.

I can see why you two got along so well.

Yeah, why's that?

'Cause you ask a lot of goddamn questions.

I got a question for you.

How do you have that?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay.

Maybe before things escalate here, we can maybe all agree

that he's got a gun?

Open your hand.

Just let him see it.

This is for Lucy.

She's a good person. She'll do the right thing with it.

Thanks for helping my friend get back to his hotel room.

Oh, not to worry, sir.

Bet you've seen a lot in this town.

-Hey. -Yeah?

I've seen your face on those billboards for the Vaults.

Yeah.

Do you have any idea how a gal on minimum wage

can get into one?

I'm sorry, sweetheart, but the Vaults

aren't all they're cracked up to be.

Maybe the best thing that we could hope for

is that enough people do the right thing

so that the Vaults aren't necessary.

Hm. That's a nice sentiment.

But I think I have a better chance of getting in a Vault.

Do you know how I could get a job at Vault-Tec?

Ask him.

-Hi. -Hi.

Thank you very much for meeting me.

Thank you for bailing me out of jail.

I know you're a good person.

And I know that you're trying to do the right thing.

I wanna believe in people like you,

that fight for all the right things, but you don't make it easy.

I saw you at that VA meeting last week.

Why can't good people like you just learn to sell it better?

I don't know.

How's that worked in your experience?

How much do you actually know about the company

that put you on all those billboards?

More than I did when I signed that contract.

So, you know why your wife is in Las Vegas?

They're delivering the most powerful technology in the world

to the most powerful man in the world.

Robert House wants the diode so he can live forever,

and Vault-Tec gets the bombs in exchange.

And when they do that...

They'll be the only ones left.

And that's what they want.

What if my wife's deal fell through?

What would you do with infinite energy?

Give it away to the public.

I know how it's being transported.

If I could deliver it to you, I'll need assurances.

No offense, but I--

No, I get it. I wouldn't give it to me, either.

But if it helps, two hours ago,

an unmarked government plane landed at McCarran Airport.

The President of the United States is in Las Vegas.

How would you feel about giving it directly to him?

You can get me a meeting with the President?

Yes.

That would work.

Give him the diode and we can put an end

to 25 years of Resource Wars tonight.

Holy crow.

Huh.

Wow.

Ooh.

Hello, darlin'.

I'm sure you probably know this,

but I'm actually kinda new to all this ghoul stuff.

Yeah. Still got my nose.

That's the worst thing, really, just waitin' for it to fall off.

Just hurry it up already. You know?

And then there's this.

This is normal, right?
