The Stand

- What the fuck did you guys do?! - We're working to contain it.

It's a virus. Some kind of superflu.

Campion came from California, right?

Some bioweapons facility out in the middle of the desert?

The fatality rate for this virus is well over 99%.

We're the future.

Yes. Us.

Is this Larry Underwood?

As her emergency contact.

This is Bellevue Hospital call about Alice Underwood.

Oh, the smell. It's awful.

We can't stay here.

Well, where would we go?

We can go anywhere.

Welcome to the Boulder Free Zone.

Which one of you is Larry Underwood?

She told you I'd be coming? Me specifically?

She made a list of five names.

People she wanted running the place.

It was you and four others.

I was wondering if you would be willing

to take responsibility for him.

You mean would I be his mother?

My name is Poke Freeman.

This is my protégé, Lloyd Henreid.

- -

Don't shoot. I surrender.

Welcome to the party, cop killer.

Name's Flagg.

I believe this is yours.

Miss Lacy says this is devil stuff.

Miss Lacy smells like onion soup.

Everybody put their fingertips on the planchette.

What's a plan-check?

- Planchette. It's French. - It's evil.

Will you just put your hands on this thing?

Man...

You, too, new girl. The more people we have,

the more energy we put out, so...

Spirits, the door is open.

Aren't you supposed to say something more?

The way I was taught is all we do is open the door,

and then it's up to the spirits if they want to come through.

I don't know.

I really feel like you're supposed to say something more.

- Bitch, you ain't slick. - It's not me. I swear.

Seriously, stop playing.

- It's saying it's the new girl. - It's the spirits.

Turns out this is you, new girl,

I'll beat your ass.

New girl, tell me that you did not

just write your fucking name.

-I swear, I wasn't... I didn't... -I warned you not to...

- I can't take my hands off it. -

- - What is that?!

Nadine. Nadine...

"Nadine... Queen."

I don't get it, man. I put the crosshairs

just behind the front shoulder, like you said.

You're jerking the trigger.

-Hey, man, "Squeeze, don't pull." -That's right.

- You sound like... - Hey, you relax...

You know, you sound like some kind of

cowboy fortune cookie, right?

-Cowboy fortune cookie? That's interesting. -Yeah. Whoa.

Hey. Psst, Stu.

He's still breathing. Help me get him out.

: Oh, shit. Come on.

Okay.

Jesus Christ.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Someone crucified this man, Larry.

We gotta get him to town.

You think he's gonna make it?

Hell, he's made it this far.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

Hey, listen. Listen to me. Listen.

- You're all right. -

Hey, look at me. Look at me.

We're gonna get you to a doctor. Okay?

He said I couldn't be forgiven...

...until...until I delivered the message.

What message?

He's coming.

Come on, sleepyhead.

We don't want to be late for our first day of school.

- Joe! Joe!

- Joe! - Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Joe, no. Stop. You're gonna hurt him.

- -NADINE: You're gonna hurt him. Stop!

I'd be happy to stop, just tell him to drop the fucking knife.

- - Let it go.

Joe, let it go.

Let it go.

Nadine Cross.

And this is Joe.

So this'll be your classroom here.

Uh, I've had my whole crew in here

since yesterday, actually,

sweeping the whole place, the whole wing.

Make sure there aren't any, uh,

pieces left behind, you know.

So just rest assured this is gonna just fit

every need that you have.

So what-what are... what are you gonna teach, anyway?

Teach? Honestly,

I'm just trying to give these kids

a little sense of normalcy, you know.

Keep 'em from shutting down.

All they've seen,

it's a miracle they remember how to breathe in and out.

I found him outside of Scranton

several weeks ago.

He's just a... a scared little boy.

Look, we want to come with you.

Come with me where?

Wherever you're going.

You know, I got out of New York with a woman,

and she killed herself.

So, maybe I'm meant to be alone.

Sorry.

You asked me where I'm going.

Um...

...I'm going wherever Harold leads me.

I don't... I don't get it.

- You know him? - No.

But every time I pass through a place

that, uh, he's already been,

I just felt like he knew the answers

before I even thought to ask the questions.

I want to go with you.

I need your help.

And so does Joe.

You just gotta figure out if you'd rather be alone.

Hawk,

got another one for you.

Joe, come on.

Hi, Joe. Well...

Joe, come here. Come here. Come on.

Let's just say thank you, let them finish up.

Yeah? Okay.

Well...

Hey.

Thanks for coming on over.

It's nice to meet you.

Bye. Thank you both...

- Thank you. - ...so much.

Uh, it's good that you came.

Uh... - Goodbye. Come on.

All right, you have a nice rest of your day.

Ah.

She may be the hottest woman on Earth.

I mean, left.

That's, uh, that's fucked up.

Before, I see that woman, I say to myself,

"You wouldn't have a shot with her

if you were the last man on Earth."

- And now... -

...here I am, a lot closer to being the last man on Earth

than I ever imagined.

And you still don't have a shot with her.

Steve, did you move my goo?

Think fast. -

Thanks.

By the way, I've asked Steve

to assist with your delivery.

Wasn't he a veterinary technician?

Beggars and choosers, I'm afraid.

Bet he's assisted more births than I have.

Not human births.

Mammalian.

Okay...

- Ooh. Yeah. - Cold? Okay.

Here goes nothing.

That's not the baby, is it?

Pretty sure that's your bladder.

- Uh-huh. - Just reposition...

Oh...

There's your baby. - Oh, my God.
