The Mist

- Previously on "The Mist"... - There's something out there.

The Black Spring.

It's like our version of Santa,

but instead of not getting gifts,

if you don't behave, you'll be torn apart alive.

My family's at the mall. I've gotta get to them.

What if it doesn't have any keys?

- I'll bet Mia knows how to hot-wire. - Of course I do.

What if we put the bodies outside, use them as bait...

- What the hell? - They were American soldiers!

- - Hey, stop it!

- Guys, guys. - Stop it!

I think we need to establish a set of rules.

Whoever endangers the group is thrown out of the mall.

It's okay to be scared about what happened.

Should I be scared about the people who hung themselves

or that big cloud of whatever-it-is outside,

or do you mean that I'm stuck in this mall

with the guy who raped me? Who says I'm feeling anything?

Your daughter gets drunk and screws around,

and it's my boy's fault?

But then again, that makes perfect sense, knowing your wife.

Jesus!

We gotta go!

Over there.

Driver's seat.

Will this help?

Shit.

Hey!

Connor dropped it.

Next time somebody drops a gun, you give it to me.

You didn't see what happened to Mikhail.

What happened to Mikhail?

A giant moth killed him!

A giant moth?

Can we get going? I don't like it here.

I just need this one

and then this one, and then, there.

What the... Come on!

I thought you said you knew how to do this.

I can! I can. Something's wrong.

What do you mean, something's wrong?!

I've done this a thousand times!

Even if the battery's dead,

we should hear the ignition trying to catch.

- Listen. -

Come on. What the...

Come...

We need to find a working car.

Uh...

all right, all right.

There's a gas station right around the corner from here.

We can't go back out there.

Well, how long do you think we've got

before something happens?

It seems like the mist comes and go, right?

It's thicker when we're out there,

and then it kind of disappears when we're not.

Yeah, it was super thick when Mikhail, you know...

Okay, okay.

So we wait for it to withdraw a little bit,

and then we make a run for it. Okay?

- Okay. - All right.

The mist is starting to thin out.

Okay.

- Just follow me, all right? - Yep.

- You stay close to me. - Okay.

Okay. 1, 2...

3.

No! Leave me alone!

- What's going on? - Man: Leave her alone!

Sue!

- Calm down now. - Come on.

- I can't breathe. - Okay.

I can't breathe.

- - Come on.

Come on. It's okay. It's okay.

Another panic attack?

Well, there's nothing to do but sit around being scared.

That's why we gotta distract 'em.

Let's see what we got here.

- All right. - Here you go.

Who's up for poker?

Yeah, sure.

Here. Take this one.

What? Those teens won't say no to Bridgeville's star quarterback.

Go long.

Yeah.

Look, babe, nothing was gonna happen.

Maybe you just listen to me once, you know,

instead of always listening to your asshole friend.

Hope you geniuses aren't planning another science experiment.

Hey, if I'm looking to get date raped,

I'll invite you into the conversation.

- Are you all right, Father? - It's a little out of tune.

Father?

You know I've always been devout.

I've...

I believe in the Bible. I live life by His word...

more or less.

Do you think you lost your faith, Father?

Lose my faith? How could I?

I've just seen a demon appear

and the smoke rising from the pit

to torment mankind just as it's written in Gospel.

I'm not scared because I'm losing my faith.

I'm scared because it's stronger than ever.

If we were judged right now,

how many under our roof would burn?

Would Mrs. Raven?

Or will God forgive her because she's gone crazy?

Would the Chief?

We've all seen his pride.

Would you?

Would you?

The more I believe,

the more I know it's my responsibility to save them...

and I've never been more afraid.

Are you there?

Are you there?

Are you there?

Who are you looking for, Natalie?

I don't know yet.

Friends, would you gather, please?

- Mrs. Raven? - Mm, not right now.

Most of you have been coming here for years.

Most of you know me, just as I know you and your families.

We know each other too well for me to...

- preach. - Mm-hm.

Instead, I will talk to you here.

I believe Judgment Day has come.

And I'm... I'm laughing,

because I... I watch TV.

I... I like baseball.

I...

I listen to music.

I have a beer every now and then.

I'm not the Judgment Day kind of guy.

You know that.

And yet, here we are.

I hope I'm wrong.

I hope the police get here to save us.

But until then,

I will do whatever I can to help save your souls...

pray with you.

Mrs. Raven, please.

That's very sweet, Father, but there's really no need.

The moth is a good friend of mine.

And how is that possible?

We met in my garden the other day.

She landed on my hand.

Will you care to explain to us

what it was doing here, then?

I don't know,

but I'll find out.

Are you there?

I didn't see any cars out there.

There's nothing in here, either.

Maybe this guy will give us a ride.

Any way to get any gas out of those?

I wouldn't want to be out there long enough to find out.

You're Eve's husband, right?

Yeah.

You know where she is?

I'm sorry.

I'm Clay.

Kevin.

I had a kid in her class. I have a...

He was outside when all this happened.

He's safe somewhere. I know it. I just gotta find him.

I'm sure he is.

Have you seen him?

No.

Sorry.

You should, uh...

You should stay here, get some rest.

I haven't slept in two days.

You can, uh, put it in the garage.

Please tell me why we're lying to this poor bastard.

We should tell him.

He has a working car,

and in case you haven't noticed, we're kinda stuck here.

It's your wife and kid.

Like you care about them.

I'll talk to him. I'll get him to take us.

Good.

You gonna keep your mouth shut?

I don't know. Are you gonna convince him?

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here.

Uh...

it's okay.

I guess you think I'm crazy as well.

- Kind of. - Mm, I may be,

but I can see you're not yourself.

Can I do anything?

They took my gun.

I don't think they'll rob a bank.

I just let three prisoners escape

in front of the whole church.

So what?
