Wayward Pines

Previously on 'Wayward Pines'...

Everybody's a prisoner here.

There's cameras and mikes everywhere.

This whole town is under surveillance.

The thing about this town is that

they focus on the children.

It's all about shaping the mind of the child.

Guess what? I'm gonna be your teacher.

Have you ever been to that fence?

Do you know about those... animals on the other side?

Ben! What are you doing?!

I told you I was going to pick you up at school!

Mr. Burke, so thrilled to have you as our new Sheriff.

I guess when you kill somebody in this town,

they give you his job.

Why won't your parents take you home, Ben?

'Cause they can't.

I will do everything in my power to ensure

that the evils of this town are brought to light.

Why can't anybody leave this town?

There's only one way out.

'Theresa, congratulations!

'A spot has just opened at Wayward Pines Realty Associates.

'One of our senior realtors has chosen to retire.

I need you to stay here.

I'm going to Boise to get some help.

Hey, so tomorrow, do you want to walk to school

with Sam and Katie and me?

We always go together, and you live right by us, so...

Oh. Yeah, sure.

Cool.

Uh, what time?

Uh, 7:00.

Corner of Maple and 15th. - Cool. So...

so, tonight was cool.

Sorry. I suck at this.

I couldn't tell.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Mom.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm good. How are you?

Where's Dad?

He's working late.

He's trying to finish up this case, but he's close.

And we're gonna get out of here soon

and get back to Seattle.

Ow. Ow, ow.

How does that sound?

Great.

Morning.

Hmm. - What's the rush?

I told Amy I'd walk to school

with her and a couple friends, so...

Ben, I thought we talked about this already.

I want to walk you to school every day.

It's a five-minute walk. I think I'll survive.

Ben. - Look, they're my friends, Mom.

Listen, I know that they're your friends.

I'm just telling you

that we don't really know what this town is about yet

and that maybe we should be extra careful

'cause we also don't know

who our real friends are yet, okay?

Yeah, you're right.

Who would ever want to be friends

with a loser like me, right?

Ben. Ben, I did not mean that.

You and Dad told me that I should fit in.

Maybe that's weird for you, but I am.

What are you doing?

You're just sitting around the house,

hoping that things will magically get better,

but they never do.

_

Heads up!

Come here. Hurry up!

Hey, Ben, how's it going? - Hey.

Hey, Ben. - Hey.

Hey. Hey. What is it?

I... All these kids...

See you, Ben. - See ya.

Bye.

they're all being nice to me because they want to be, right?

What?

Like, they weren't told to...

I don't know... be my friend, were they?

What are you talking about?

At my old school, everything was different

and everyone was different towards me.

It's like they didn't even see me.

And then, I come here for a couple days,

and everyone talks to me, everyone sees me.

Isn't that a good thing?

I guess.

I-I just don't understand

why things are so different here.

This school...

it isn't like your other school or any other school.

We're all in this together.

Wait, all of what together?

Reed Finley, Carrie Barnes, Benjamin Burke,

please report to Room One for Orientation.

Orientat... what's Orientation?

Reed Finley...

Good luck. - ...Carrie Barnes, Benjamin Burke,

please report to Room One for Orientation.

Hello?

Well, well, you must be Theresa,

my new number two.

Eh, the name's Bill.

But everyone here, they... they calls me 'Big Bill.'

Why? I have no idea.

Ah. I got to say,

you're a hell of a lot easier on the eyes than old Petey.

Don't get me wrong.

Petey was a good friend,

but graffiti on Main Street?

You just never know about some people.

Hmm. This way, hon. Keep up.

Is it just you here?

Well, Henrietta helps with the books.

But otherwise, it's, uh, just me and you...

partners.

I'm sorry about all this mess.

I asked her to put all this away,

but the poor woman was distraught.

She wanted Petey's job herself.

Uh, she lost the job to me?

Oh, I'm sure she's much more experienced.

They told me you were the perfect choice.

Yeah, who is they, exactly?

I've been...

Here we go!

Your first client.

_

What am I supposed to do with this?

Is there a number I should be calling, or...

Oh, not anymore.

He lost his phone in the accident.

The accident?

Well, you see, Wayne, he works...

Well, worked construction,

you know, setting those traffic cones for those paving projects.

Late at night, just him,

moving those traffic cones all by his lonesome,

then boom!

He gets hit by a police car and thrown right over the hood.

Rolled off the road down a ditch

and crashed headfirst into a concrete dam.

But Pam...

You know nurse Pam? - Mm-hmm.

Well, she fixed him up real good.

But now it's time for him to leave her care.

B-But the problem is, Wayne, well, he...

well, he lost damn near everything in that accident,

more than his phone.

He doesn't even have a place to stay.

That's where you come in.

Okay, so you want me to sell him a house?

No.

I want you to give him a house.

You'll earn a gold star if you do.

You want me to give him a house? - Mm-hmm.

Think of it as a...

as a welcoming present from his friends at Wayward Pines.

We're gonna make a hell of a team.

You thank your husband for killing Petey, will ya?

Hi, I'm Ben.

Carrie.

Reed.

You both new here, too?

What's 111?

No idea, but I'm 110.

And I'm 109.

Welcome to Orientation.
