"Man 3:" "I just can't take this anymore." "We walked into the white light..." "And we just kept going." "And the dome was gone." "And we were free." "The outside world, somehow it seemed more..." "More beautiful," "You know, more vibrant." "Where was i?" "You were dead." "What did you do after i died?" "Julia..." "I want to know what it was like for you." "There was a funeral," "And i met your parents." "The only thing i could do" "Was to get as far away from chester's mill as possible." "Where'd you go?" "Abuja." "Kabul." "I ran rescue missions." "I dreamt about you" "Every night." "Hey, it's okay." "I met a woman." "Oh." "She doesn't matter." "None of it was real." "What happened to your neck?" "Your father came back." "He brought the egg." "My father did that?" "No." "(sighs)" "Don's dead." "How?" "I think melanie killed him." "How could you even say that?" "Because she tried to kill me, too." "Found this in an emergency kit." "You should eat something." "Come on home." "That's your home, not mine." "Course it's yours." "I-i don't know how i'm back here." "You were in some kind of a-a, a-a cocoon," "And-and..." "You never went anywhere." "I did." "I moved on." "I got rid of you." "This time has to be different, dad." "I want to forgive you." "For what?" "All of it." "Locking me up in that bomb shelter," "Alone, in the dark." "Leaving me up in that tree, forcing me" "To go get the belt." "I saved you." "You should be" "Thanking me." "You were a weak little kid." "I just tried to make you strong." "I was stronger without you." "Where?" "!" "In your little make-believe cocoon world?" "You're still weak." "You're pathetic and afraid." "You can punch that dome as many times as you need to," "Junior." "You're back under it." "Three weeks." "That's how long you and i were in those cocoons." "Oh, my god." "I know." "Christine..." "The last thing i remember was us finding that egg." "And then i was in an alternate reality for, like, a year." "In love with dale, carrying his child." "And now we've hatched" "And we're under a dome?" "None of this makes sense." "We're anthropologists." "But in that world, i was an aid worker." "You-you were a therapist." "Why were we different?" "I can't tell you that," "But..." "I think it's a good thing." "If this town knew" "Who we really are, that we were here to find that egg," "We'd have a lot more to answer for." "All those hunts hektor sent us on," "Do you think aktaion knew what would happen when we found one?" "Tomorrow we'll go to that town hall meeting" "And find out what we can." "No, i'm..." "I can't see dale." "With her." "We have to go." "People saw us in those caves." "If we don't show up, they'll come looking." "Is it possible i'm pregnant?" "I don't think so, hon." "It felt so real." "It still does." "You have always talked about wanting kids." "It'll happen." "(door shuts)" "I guess the best way of explaining it is that we were in" "A simulated reality." "Like the matrix." "Want to hear something weird?" "More weird" "Than we were in a matrix?" "I don't need my glasses anymore." "I can see without them." "Maybe the goo that was all over us fixed your eyes." "Well, yay, you can see," "But we're still trapped inside this hell bubble." "Hunter:" "Want my sweater?" "Yeah." "Wh-what are you even doing here?" "Uh, i don't have a house to go to." "Can we please go to sleep?" "(sighs)" "(quietly):" "Yesterday we were together." "But in the matrix, you moved on without me." "So..." "What are we now?" "I don't know." "It feels like a year's passed." "And i feel..." "Different." "They're dead." "All of them." "Their cycle came to an end." "And, unlike you, they won't be brought back to life." "You had a job:" "Lead the people to be cocooned" "So that the egg could infuse them with the life force." "I tried." "I did." "I'm so sorry." "Why were we chosen to do this?" "You and i made first contact with the egg." "When we touched it, we gained" "A complete understanding of the dome's agenda:" "Survive and propagate." "But i touched the egg first." "25 years ago." "It should have been me inside the queen cocoon," "Not you." "But you died during the download." "Three weeks ago, i came along." "From inside my cocoon, i could see" "That this town was on the brink of destroying itself." "What is that stuff?" "Oxytocin." "It's a mood regulator." "It, plus the alternate reality, was essential" "To shape these humans into a functioning collective," "So that we could gain a foothold." "Except..." "The transfer of the life force was interrupted." "Because big jim destroyed the egg." "Because you didn't protect it." "Everyone who was cocooned" "Has a role to play." "We need to finish what we started." "Quickly." "Well, i can't go up there." "I'm surprised julia hasn't come looking for me already." "I'll assess the townspeople" "And determine how much work is left to do." "You handle julia." "If she shows up, kill her." "Hey." "Hey, jim." "How are you?" "Jim." "Hey, there." "How are you guys?" "How are you?" "Big jim:" "Let's get this meeting started." "Abby." "Water?" "It's clean." "From my well." "Big jim:" "It's good to see you all." "Safe." "Right back here in chester's mill." "You think we're gonna listen to you, jim?" "You ran this town into the ground." "Big jim:" "No, roger, i didn't." "I risked everything" "To set you free from those cocoons." "Because i love this town." "And i'd do anything for it." "I'll get you back on your feet." "But first things first." "We need answers." "For you, for all of you." "For my son." "The person that has those answers is melanie cross." "And i won't stop until we find that girl." "He's starting a witch hunt for melanie." "They'll kill her before we get any answers." "Big jim:" "She knows what's going on in this town" "And i'm gonna find out what it is." "Barbie:" "Forget melanie." "You're the biggest threat this town's ever seen." "Julia:" "Barbie!" "I saved everyone in there!" "Julia:" "Barbie!" "Enough!" "Dale!" "Who are you?" "Big jim:" "Answer the question." "Who are you?" "I'm christine price" "And this is my friend eva." "Excuse me, i need some air." "And you all know each other?" "Yeah." "We do." "Christine:" "Eva and i were in the..." "Alternate reality, as strange as it sounds." "Sounds pretty strange." "Julia:" "Everyone in the cocoons" "Was from chester's mill." "But you're not." "No, no." "We... (laughing):" "We were here on vacation." "We went for a hike in the woods and..." "Wandered off the trail and..." "Big jim:" "And then what?" "We stepped into some kind of a sinkhole," "And emerged" "From those cocoons yesterday," "Along with everybody else." "When did you go on this hike?" "Three weeks ago." "That's some story." "I'm a therapist." "I helped this town recover from a trauma" "In the cocoons." "It seems as if people could use" "That same kind of help now?" "Shall we?" "You're staying out here." "Or what?" "Or we tell them everything." "Rebecca..." "Andrea..." "You shot junior." "How you came after me." "After all i did for you in those caves?" "That doesn't undo everything else." "Chester's mill's still better off without you." "Oh, is it?" "Cocoons," "Alternate reality..." "Yeah." "Looks like everyone's shaken up." "Except for christine price." "Abby:" "In the cocoons, we were back with our families" "And now we are stuck here, again, because of you," "Because of melanie." "You gonna do something about it?" "Look, i-i promise you, i'll find melanie." "All right?" "I'll get us all the answers that we need." "What do we do?" "I lost my home, too." "If you have a house," "Open your doors." "Let's share what we have." "The last time i stood in front of you," "I urged you to find strength in community." "We all have something to contribute." "There's gotta be wildlife out there." "Joe." "You can build traps." "Or i could help find melanie." "No, christine's right." "We need to eat." "I'll handle melanie." "Well, isn't there food at andrea's house?" "Uh, in the root cellar." "Someone can take my car." "I'll go." "I'll go with you." "Christine:" "And i'll set up an office, here in this building." "If anybody needs support, come find me." "(quiet, indistinct conversations)" "Sam." "There's a lot of overwhelmed people here." "Do you think you could start a support group?" "Why would i do that?" "Your aa experience in the prison." "You could apply it here." "People in this town see me as a murderer," "Not a counselor." "Uh, just..." "Think about it." "And..." "Do you think you could find your nephew?" "I didn't see him here." "Julia:" "She called you "dale."" "Julia, i said i don't want to talk about it." "The woman you had a relationship with" "Is suddenly here, in the flesh." "Of course i have questions." "Don't you?" "Yeah." "I do." "About things that really happened." "I was in a cocoon," "My father's dead," "You were nearly killed" "And melanie can answer for it all." "We need to find her." "So, please, can we do that?" "(anxious breathing)" "(groans, sighs)" "(grunts in frustration)" "He's right, you're weak, you're weak, you're pathetic." "Oh, just-just-just do something right" "For once in your life." "Sam:" "No!" "Go away, sam." "Leave me alone." "Go away!" "Hey." "What's so bad that you gotta end it all?" "Come on." "Tell me." "The life we had, in the cocoons?" "I saw the world." "I..." "I knew what it was like to be my own man," "To be free from my father," "And i can't be back under this dome with him again." "I'd rather be dead." "Congratulations, kid." "For what?" "Hitting bottom." "You gotta get here before you're ready to change." "Whatever you found" "In that other life can help you here." "Give me the gun." "(joe and norrie laugh)" "Joe:" "It works." "There's more supplies in andrea's garage." "I'll get them and set up the traps around the property." "Do you want to help me?" "It's been a while since we've wandered around those woods." "We're not here for nature, we're here to get food." "And then we have to take it back and set it up for everyone." "First you volunteer to schlep cans," "And now you're throwing a dinner party for a town you hate?" "Well..." "We're all in it together." "Root cellar's out back." "Come on, zeta." "Let's grab us some cans of corn." "We'll meet you back at the car." "Hey." "How does he know what sorority you joined?" "I..." "Saw him when we were back at the memorial." "I must've told him." "You're really going to counsel people?" "Until someone else steps in." "I've got a phd in biological anthropology." "I know enough to coach people through a crisis." "Do we really need to lie about who we are?" "We need to keep their trust." "We're trapped here;" "The most important thing is survival." "When did you become so calculating?" "Please." "Remember when we found that meteorite in north dakota?" "Who negotiated our exit with that wolf?" "(laughs)" "We've been through so much together." "We'll get through this." "But first, we got work to do." "What's that?" "Well, i'll stay here" "And try to calm people down." "You go find the one thing that could expose us." "I..." "I don't even know where to start." "We have found the remains of ancient civilizations." "I'm sure you can handle this." "She's not here." "That's where you were." "And that's where i saw melanie put the egg..." "Right before she tried to kill me." "But you saved her." "Protected her." "Yeah, and then she turned on me." "And you can't deny what she led you into." "Everyone in these cocoons was connected." "You and eva were together for a reason." "Oh, here we go." "Now we're back on this again." "We are." "Barbie, i saw the way you looked at her." "You were together for what felt like a year." "That is so much longer than we've been together," "So i understand if you still have feelings." "You were not in one of these things, julia." "You can't possibly understand any of this." "I'm trying, but you won't talk to me." "You're different somehow." "Did you love her?" "I'm gonna keep looking for melanie." "The tunnel branches off about 30 paces down." "I'll be fine." "(leaves crunch)" "Git..." "Git." "(barks)" "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "It's better than nothing." "Not by a lot." "Well, maybe we can find" "A stockpile of girl scout cookies somewhere in here." "Ugh." "Nyc punk?" "I didn't know andrea, but she had serious taste in music." "It was probably her kids'." "Unless, you know, she also played lacrosse." "Hey, look." "Before there was katniss," "There was me at summer camp." "No tv, no boys, just singing and swimming and sports." "Your camp sounds a lot like a sorority with less beer pong." "Hey." "What's wrong?" "I want it back." "That life." "I was a part of something, and it felt good." "You know..." "There's a way we can feel good right here Under this dome." "("do you wanna dance" by the ramones plays)" "(laughs)" "You're an idiot." "(chuckles) you know you want to dance, so come on." "No." "Just a little head bob, you know?" "(they laugh)" "All right, well, you're welcome." "Let's keep hunting for grub." "The town's counting on us." ""support group next door."" "You're all here to see christine?" "She offered to help;" "we need it." "Christine was my counselor while i was in prison." "I learned a lot from her." "This morning, she asked me if i would lead a support group." "You?" "Yeah." "I'm not staying." "I can't just tell a bunch of strangers all my problems." "Junior, i don't think you should be alone right now." "You have my gun." "You can't babysit me forever." "I was giving her a bath." "And we were singing a song when it all ended." "(crying):" "And i can't lose her again." "Can you survive one hour without your child?" "Abby?" "That's where you start." "I'll be here any hour you need." "For all of you." "Hey, junior." "Excuse me, there's, um, people in there, waiting for you." "Oh, shoot." "I was out looking for food." "It's good to see you again, james." "We never really met." "How you doing?" "I'm okay." "Now, how about the truth?" "The truth?" "I don't know how i'm gonna survive here." "In that other world, i killed my father," "I was ready to burn down his house." "That was the life that i wanted" "To be free from him." "But..." "I'm here." "You were about to make a breakthrough." "If you really want to be who you were Finish what you started." "Drop the match." "We are what we do." "We are what we do." "Julia...!" "Everything started here." "(running footsteps approach, barbie panting)" "Barbie:" "You're okay." "Are you okay?" "What happened?" "I found ben's body." "His neck was bruised just like yours." "He said he saw melanie in the alternate reality." "He didn't die from an asthma attack." "He died because she killed him here." "I'm sorry i left you alone." "I think all this was way more real than i wanted to admit." "Including eva." "Tell me." "I mourned you, julia." "Time passed." "And i fell in love with her." "And that, with her That feels like yesterday." "(punk rock blares from distance) ¶ hey, hey, hey!" "¶" "Andrea." "¶ hey, hey, hey!"

"She was like that when we got here." "We covered her and moved her." "You put her outside?" "Like trash?" "Ever smelled a dead body?" "I've known her my whole life." "Even if you guys didn't, she was a human being." "Joe, she would want us to eat." "What's the big deal about us listening to music" "While we search for food?" "You're right."
