- A few weeks ago, an invisible dome crashed down on Chester's Mill, cutting us off from the rest of the world. Why the dome is here or what mysteries lie ahead we still don't know. Every day it tests our limits, bringing out the best and the worst in us. Some say we'll be stuck here forever, but we will never stop fighting to find a way out. - Big Jim threw the egg off the cliff. I'd say that proves it's the dome's power source. - The dome's contracting. - You mean it's shrinking? - I figured out that at its present rate, it won't be long before the dome` - Crushes us completely? - All of this is your fault! - Where's Melanie? - I painted a vision. It may show us how to save her. - Melanie! - (SCREAMS) - Grab my hand! - In my dream, I saw Melanie disappear, but I didn't know it meant that. - I love you. - You know why? Cos she's supposed to be with me, Jim. - We have to go after Melanie. - It's too dangerous. No one's going anywhere. - Can you see anything? - No. - (CRASHING) - Oh my God, there's another earthquake! - Where do you think the crater leads? - Maybe it's another tunnel, like at the school. It could lead to Zenith. - Yeah, or somewhere else. Anywhere but here would be great. - We gotta check it out. But we gotta do it right. I'm not risking anyone else's life. - Help me! Help! - Pauline. Pauline! - Lay her down on her side gently. Hunter, I need your shirt. What happened? - Lyle. Lyle stabbed her. - Where is he now? - He's dead. - Here. - I tried to stop the bleeding. - All our medical supplies are at the school. - Well, let's get there now. - The Prius is at the edge of the woods. Let's go. - Julia. - I'm right here. - After I was stabbed, I had a vision. The dome chose you. But you're not alone. There's someone else, but I can't see his face. He... He doesn't know he's the one. - Get the stretcher underneath her. - I gotta keep pressure on this wound. Rebecca, you're coming with us. - OK. OK. - Make some room. Here. Go. - Yeah, I got it. - Ready? One, two, three, up. - You're gonna be OK. - Keep breathing. OK. (THUNDER CRASHES) (LOW DRONING) - What's happening? - The walls are getting closer. - The dome's a sphere. It's contracting horizontally and vertically. I think it's shutting down. Everything inside's going haywire. - All right. We gotta get some gear so we can explore this crater. - MAN IN DISTANCE: Help! We need help! (THUNDER CRASHES) - It's near the Tilden farm. - I thought we got everybody in the middle of town. - Tom must have gone back for something. - Hey, keep an eye on Hunter. Don't do anything stupid. - Wait. Where are you going? - We need to get a tablet. - What for? - When this opened, it might have created a new crack in the dome, which means we might be able to get a Wi-Fi signal. - Maybe we can get a message to the Hounds of Diana. - If the Hounds tell us that Melanie's in Zenith, that means the crater's our way out. (THUNDER CRASHES) - Help! Help! - (GROANS IN PAIN) - What happened? - The shaking. It fell. It's crushing my leg! - Help my dad. Please. - Get my son out of here. (SCREAMS IN PAIN) - No, I need to help! - Go with Julia, son. - You're coming with us! - Tom, I'll look after him. - Get him out of here. (SCREAMS IN PAIN) - Let's try this. - I love you, buddy. Go with Julia. - I'm not leaving without you! - He's gonna help him. - Try again. Here we go. - (SCREAMS) (THUNDER CRASHES) - Go! Get out! Go! Get out! - (ELECTRICITY ZAPS) - No, Dad, no! - Go! Go! - No, Dad! Dad, no! No! - I think Joe's right; the dome's shutting down. - No! Dad! No! - I'm guessing we got a few hours. - No! Dad, no! Please! No, Dad! Dad! - Come on, bud. I know, buddy. - Go! Come on, guys! Let's go! We got an injured person here. - Let's get her up. Get as much gauze as you can find. - Grab that table. Move it over here. Move it over here. - Her abdomen's rigid. She's bleeding internally. - Lyle might have lacerated an organ, kidney maybe, or her liver. - I know you can help. Do something, all right? - She needs surgery to stop the bleeding. - Then operate. Do whatever you have to. - I'm not a surgeon! And we don't have anaesthesia or equipment. I can't even tell which organ is injured without an MRI. - Listen, there is an answer. Find it! - Please, you have to help her. - I'm doing everything I can. (THUNDER RUMBLES) Captions were made with support from NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Copyright Able 2022 - No signal. I'm sorry. It was a good idea, though. - So the crater didn't create a crack in the dome, and there's no new tunnel? - Maybe it did and someone's just blocking the signal. - Yeah, or maybe it's just a giant killer suck hole. We're literally hours away from being crushed to death! Maybe I should just go find my mom and spend my last few hours with her instead of trying to convince myself that whoever or whatever controls this dumb dome even gives a crap about any of us. - Norrie, I need you here with me, OK? - Hey. Hey, wh-what are you doing? - Plan B. - Joe, you're not going down there. - This is my town. Yours too now. If we don't do anything, we all die. If we explore the crater, we might be able to save everyone. - He's right. We know the dome better than anyone. - You OK, Pauline? - What happened? - Lyle tried to take you away from me. He stabbed you. But he's dead now. Everything's gonna be OK. I promise. - (WHIMPERS) - Can we give her something for the pain? - We have morphine. Just 10 milligrams, OK? Jim. - Yeah. - We should talk. - OK. I'll be right back. She looks good. On the mend. - The internal damage is too massive to control without surgery. - So do something else. - I can keep her as comfortable as possible, but there is nothing I can do to stop her from bleeding out. - What are you saying, that she's gonna die? - If there was something else, anything, I would do it. - I don't accept that. Pauline came back to save us, not bleed out in front of her son. The dome won't let her die. This is just another test. My family, my wife... we were chosen. - We gotta get Mom back to the crater. Melanie didn't just disappear into thin air. It must lead somewhere. - I hope it does, Junior, but Pauline's injuries are too severe. If we move her, it will accelerate the bleeding. - Well, tell me what we can do. - She needs fluids. - Where do I get saline? - The clinic? - I'll find it. - It is another tunnel. - But it's different than the one underneath the school. - What are those things? - I don't know. But they're cool. (RUMBLING, CRACKING) - Yeah, and kind of terrifying. - All right, let's do this. - Maybe we can figure out what happened to Melanie. - Careful. - Come on. - You OK, Mom? - Just a little pain. - Can we give her some more morphine? - We don't want to give her an overdose. - Oh, Junior, it's OK. - Dad's coming back. OK? And we're gonna fix you up, just like Melanie. - Do you think she's OK? That she made it out? - Anything's possible. - My brushes... and canvas. - What do you mean? - Maybe... I can paint the way out. Junior, it's important. Go get them. James. We've been through so much. I got to see my sweet, sweet boy become a man. - I love you, Mom. - I love you. Forever. - What you said to Junior sounded like a goodbye. - We both know the truth. I'm not going to make it. - We just have to get you stable. If the crater's a way out, we'll take you. - No. The dome's done with me. I saw my own death. - Pauline. - All that matters... is Junior. That he survives. (SIGHS) And Jim won't let me go. I don't want that. - What are you saying? - Let me go peacefully. SHAKILY: Becky, help me. Please. (OMINOUS MUSIC) - I think you were supposed to be here for this. - I don't know about that. I still gotta go grab that gear, get back to the crater, figure out what's down there. - We should split up. I'll take Aidan back to the high school while you head back. - Well, wait for me at the school. All right? Grab a walkie from Sam. I'll be in touch. (RUMBLING) - We're gonna head this way, OK? (RUMBLING, CRACKING) - JOE: What do we do about this fork? - Which way? - I have no idea. - Joe, look. - I think we just made our decision. - How long do you think the crater's gonna stay open? - I-I don't know. Not long. We gotta tell Barbie there might be a way out. (RUMBLING CONTINUES) Come on! Norrie! Come on, jump! Come on! Let's go! - Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?! - We went down. - Yeah, I see that. What part of 'don't do anything stupid' did you not understand? - Don't be pissed we couldn't wait. We found more tunnels. - There was a monarch down there too. It showed us a path with a light at the end. - Did you see where it goes? - We had to get out. Things are shaky down there. The passage may not be open for long. - But it goes somewhere, and, like I said before, anywhere's better than here. - And it doesn't look like your dad's showing up with the egg anytime soon. - The time between these contractions is getting shorter. (THUNDER CRASHES) - And the dome's making the weather worse. - All right, well, we're going down the crater. It's our only shot. Julia! I think we got another chance! This might be the way out of here. - Thanks. Sam. Rebecca. The crater could be the way out. We gotta gather the town. - OK, well, most everyone's either here, at the Sweet Briar, or at the church. - All right, well, round them up. We gotta get everybody to the woods. - How? - Uh... school buses. They run on diesel. There's a whole fleet. Gotta be fuel left in some of 'em. - I'll check it out. Round up the wounded. We'll get them on first. - Mm-hm. - Anyone who can't fit on the buses will just walk. - Jim, what are you doing here? - I'm looking for saline. Someone's hurt. - Didn't you hear the plan? We're leaving. Everyone. - Did you find any saline? - No. Leave it! We have to round everyone up. Julia said there isn't much time. - Listen, if I don't find that saline, my wife dies! I knew it! It was waiting for me! - Hey. Your mom's here. Julia wants our help loading up the buses. What's wrong? - Do you really think we're gonna get out? - I mean, the tunnels are freaky, but, yeah, we'll make it. - It's not the tunnels. It's what's after that. Am I just supposed to go back to my life in California? Without my mom? (SOBS) How can I go and just leave her here? - She's not here. Neither is Angie. They might be buried in Chester's Mill, but they'll always be with us. - Do you know why I was going to boot camp? Why I'm here in the first place? - I assumed you got into some kind of trouble. - I punched some stupid girl in the mouth and knocked her tooth out. And all she did was make fun of my hair. It's just so... stupid to think how much I cared. If I had just ignored her... - No, the dome wanted you here. It would have found another way. - I don't care what the dome wanted. Because I just want my mom. - Sometimes I think, on Dome Day, if Angie and I just went to brunch with my mom... But then I never would have met you. - My mom told me before she died to be brave. (SOFT MUSIC) And I just don't feel brave right now. - Look. I don't know what's gonna happen. But whatever's out there, we're gonna face it together. - OK. (THUNDER RUMBLES) - No. No. - Pauline, there's news. The passage you opened? We're evacuating everyone through it. So, if you can just hold on, we can try and get you to a doctor. - I won't... I won't make it. I'll only slow down the people I love. - It's just a little longer. You can do it. - No, this is what the dome wants. I paid for my sins. For once, I'll be able to sleep without dreaming. - No, there's hope now. We're only getting out because of you. - Good. Junior will be safe. (GRUNTS) This is so much pain. Please... be kind. Please. (TENSE MUSIC) Oh, sweet girl. Sweet girl. - Can you help me and make sure everyone has a seat? - Yeah, OK. - Thanks, Aidan. - Rain. As if it wasn't enough of a mess already. - The dome's contractions must be messing with the weather patterns or something. - NORRIE: No, Mom! - Come with me now! - I told you 100 times I need to stay here. I'm one of the four hands. Mom, I'm sorry. - I'm not asking you, Eleanor. - OK. Hey, hey, hey. Norrie, do me a favour, OK? Get on this first bus. I'm really gonna need your help once we get to that crater. - OK. - Thank you. OK, come on. Julia! Have you seen Andrea? - She's getting supplies. She's gonna meet us at the crater. - (THUNDER CRASHES LOUDLY) - All right, don't stop! Let's go! Keep moving! Load up! Keep moving! Hey! Where's Pauline? - She's still inside. We're waiting for Jim to get back from the clinic. - Well, he better hurry with that saline. How is your sister? - Let me through! Hey. I got the saline. Got the saline. Come on. - We gotta hurry. - Do what you can for Pauline, and then let's go. - I'll see you soon. - Baby, I got it for ya. I found the stuff you need. I told you the dome was looking after us. Pauline. I'm back, honey. - Jim, my pain is gone. - Oh, that's good. That's good. That's real good. I told you it was gonna be OK. - I know you love me. I'm sorry. - You don't need to be sorry. You don't need to be sorry. - Pauline? Look at me. - What's wrong? - Her pulse is dropping. - Take care of Junior. - SOBS: Pauline. - I love you all. (SOMBRE MUSIC) - I just got you back. (TENSE MUSIC) You did this. - She said it was what the dome wanted. She begged me. - You always have the solutions, don't you? - It was a kind thing to do. I'm sorry. - Always got something in your... in your back pocket for every emergency. - It was her last request. - Oh, now you can kill? When it's my wife? - Jim. If Pauline thought that this is what the dome wanted... - The dome wanted my family together. And you've got in the way. - Walk away, Jim. Go find Junior and get him out of here. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - I'll miss my wife forever. No one's gonna miss you. - Mom? Mom! Mom! Oh my God. (SAM GROANS) Sam. You OK? Get up. What happened? - Oh my God. No. - Where's Mom? - She's gone. - What do you mean? - Pauline asked Rebecca to help her... end her life. She was in so much pain. Jim went after Rebecca. I tried to stop him. I couldn't. I'm so sorry, Junior. (SOLEMN MUSIC) - Mom was starting to say goodbye. I should have known. - We gotta find your dad. He's gone crazy. We gotta talk him down. - Why would I do that? There's no talking to him. There's only dealing with him. - Why'd you paint that, Pauline? I wish you hadn't. Dome... I'll make you a deal. If you bring her back right now... I won't murder every single one of your special little friends. I won't slit Julia's throat, shoot Barbie in the heart, or burn those kids alive. OK? You got three seconds. (OMINOUS MUSIC) OK, then. I'm gonna free you from all this. So you can go right through that dome wall. And it's gonna regret what it did to us. (MUSIC RISES) I promise. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - This is the same plan that we had before. We're all gonna break up into small groups, keeping your family with you. We will call you forward one by one and get you down. Once your entire group is down, Joe and Norrie here will guide you into the` - How do you know this is safe? - I know because I've done it before. - (QUIET MURMURS) And, look, I know you're all scared. OK? I know that I'm a stranger. But for the last two weeks, we have fought together for the survival of this town. But right now I need you to trust me, cos we don't have another choice. If we stay here, we die. (MURMURING) Now, come on. Let's get out of here. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Carolyn, listen. I need you to go down with me, OK? - Uh-huh. - Help me keep everyone calm. Julia, Hunter, hey, can I get you guys to stay at the top here? All right? Keep everything orderly. Make sure we don't leave anyone behind. Am I forgetting anything? - No. You're doing exactly what you're supposed to. - I love you. - Love you too. - All right, you guys ready? Let's do it. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) All right, everybody. Group one, stick with me. Just stay calm, all right? We're gonna be fine. Let's go. (RUMBLING) Hold on. Hold on. - It's OK, guys. We've been here before. There's no need to be afraid. - Careful. (RUMBLING, CRACKING) (PANICKED SHOUTS) - The cracks are getting wider. Are you OK? - Yeah. - All right. Everybody watch your step, all right? We'll help you across. - Hey, how are we doing? - Most folks are accounted for. - ANDREA: Julia, please be there. - Andrea? What's wrong? Where are you? - I'm at my house. I need help. I... Oh God. - Andrea? Andrea! Andrea. (TENSE MUSIC) Andrea? Andrea? - In here. - I knew you'd come running. Put the bat down. - SAM OVER RADIO: Julia, come in. - Less is more. - Julia? - Hey, Sam. What do you need? - You OK? - Yeah. I'm just helping Andrea. We're headed back now. - Junior and I are at the crater with Hunter. Listen, you should know, um... Pauline is dead. And Jim killed Rebecca. He's out there somewhere. - Gotta go now, Sam. What are you doing, Jim? - Payback. - Against me? What did I ever do except be your neighbour and friend? - It's not about you, honey. (GUNSHOT) Sam forgot to mention that Rebecca murdered Pauline. Yeah. I gave the dome a chance to return her to me, but it declined. Which is bad for you. - Killing me won't bring Pauline back. - Yeah, but it might ruin some of the dome's plans. That's good enough. - Andrea was your friend. - Yeah, I know. That's why I killed her quick. You don't get that privilege. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - You know why the dome didn't bring Pauline back? Because you're a joke. Cos the dome doesn't make deals with insects like you. Even your wife knew you were meaningless. - I'll like you a lot better when your mouth's broken. (SCREAMS) - BARBIE: All right, everybody. Come on. Keep moving forward. Keep moving forward, you'll catch up with the next group, all right? Let's go. Everything's gonna be fine. All right, Julia, how many we got left? - Uh, only a few. I'm sending them down now. - Where's Julia? - She left to help a friend. - Where is she right now? - I don't know. She's not answering her walkie. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - (GUNSHOT) - (SCREAMS) - SAM: Julia! - Here! - Are you OK? - Jim killed Andrea. He's behind me. - Junior. - Go without me. - No, no, no. I'm not gonna let you go alone. - I said go! - Put your arm around me. - What are you doing, son? - I'm not your son anymore. I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone else. - How you gonna do that? - You're not leaving this town. - You don't tell me what to do. Not you. Not the dome. This is my town, little boy. (GUNSHOT) - Enjoy what's left of it. (ROCK CRUMBLES) - Oh God. You made it. What happened? - Jim. - Where is he? - Barbie, there's no time. Junior's taking care of it. Jim's not getting down here. - All right. I'll take her. Let's go. - Can you take Aidan up ahead? You just go on, all right? I'll be right behind you. - OK. - Come on. - Hunter, go up front with Joe and Norrie. Tell them to move out. All right? - OK. - We'll catch up. Nice and slow. (RUMBLING) - Junior! - All right. You're gonna have to jump. You think you can do it? - Yeah, I can make it. - OK. I'll get across, and I'll give you a hand. All right. Come on. Step up. Give me your hand. - OK. (RUMBLING) I can't make it. - No, there's gotta be another way. I'm not leaving you here. - You don't have a choice. The town needs your help ` and fast, before the tunnels cave in on them. - The dome chose you. - Barbie, listen to me. Pauline had a vision of someone guiding everyone out of the dome. She didn't see his face, but it's you. - But everything we've done for this town we've done together. - It's OK. The dome has gotten us this far. I have faith that if you do what it's asking, it will protect me. (RUMBLING) - I'm coming back for you. - I know. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (CRACKING) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - Junior! Junior, you can't leave me! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Junior! - Barbie, where's Julia? - She's coming. She sent me up ahead. Why's everybody stopped? - Nobody knows which way to go. - Barbie, we need to go this way. We saw the butterfly go down there. I think it's a sign. Both Joe and I do. - All right, this is the way. K? Everybody follow me. - What happened? - Barbie went ahead. He'll come back for us. Then we'll figure out a way across. (SOFT MUSIC) (MUSIC RISES) (QUIET MURMURING) - No, this can't be all that's there. It can't be. - Is this a cave-in? - Barbie, what do we do now? - I-I don't know. - We didn't come all this way for a dead end. Screw you! Can you hear me?! Whoever you are controlling all of this, can you just talk to us and tell us what's going on?! (PANTS) (SOBS) (MYSTICAL MUSIC) - How did you...? - (ROCK CRACKS) - I have no idea. (WHOOSHING) - What's that noise? - Melanie? - Follow me. We're going home. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Captions by Able. Captions were made with support from NZ On Air.
