Michael.
I need you to focus.
Colleen.
Look in your laptop, will you?
There's a file embedded in a folder marked "Fun."
Well...
Sweetheart.
I don't understand.
Do it.
Oh, my God.
What is this? Oh, no, no, no. These pictures aren't mine.
-I would never do something like this. I wouldn't... -Wouldn't you?
Two years of snuff porn, traded and stockpiled by you.
Nine young women and three young men
defiled and murdered for your pleasure.
The records and time stamps are very clear.
What the fuck?!
This is Colleen checking in.
Operation Fun has been deployed.
Colleen, I don't understand.
What is going on?
You think I married you for your good looks? Hmm?
Or your, uh, your brave and daring nature, hmm?
And I've looked after you.
That is my purpose.
So... listen closely.
You will do exactly as I tell you, which is nothing.
I have, uh, I've written a statement for you,
supporting and lauding the decision
to green-light the vaccine.
Note how there's no talk about further testing,
no talk about home decor, lack thereof,
no talk about petting zoos or Dale or anyone else.
You will read this statement to the press over and over
with a smile on your face, or so help me,
you will be looking at two decades
of endless, repetitious ass rape in Attica.
And we have Christie Corp vice president Thomas Christie
live on the phone.
Thomas, thanks for being here with us.
- Thank you, John. - I'm glad to speak with you.
How did the news of Dale's passing
affect those of you at Christie Corp?
Well, we were all shocked to learn about Dale.
It's such a sad story. However, we cannot
let it distract us from the job that we have to do.
Once the FDA freed the vaccine, we all jumped into high gear,
and we plan to have the shelves stocked
tomorrow morning. All day, we've had
our trucks coming in, and we are gearing up to ship.
Can you give the viewers any idea
of how long people will have to wait to be vaccinated?
Well, demand is pretty high right now,
but I would recommend that people do everything
in their power to make sure their families are safe.
Thomas, we appreciate you talking with us today.
- My pleasure, John. - Thanks for having me.
That, again, was Thomas Christie of Christie Corp.
We now pivot to our on-scene reporter,
who is outside the home of Charlotte Warwick.
Can you shed any light on what happened yesterday?
Feeling better today?
- Good. - Charlotte
and her family have been inside
the home all morning.
Here she is. Charlotte, do you have time
for a couple of questions? Charlotte?
Are you back with us?
Charlotte?
Good.
We had no one but each other.
We were... intensely close.
Uh, not like a...
normal... father-daughter.
Not normal how?
I am an orphan, but...
I'm trying to think of this as a new start for me.
Probably a healthier start.
Um... my father was a very disturbed man.
This is not your purpose.
We had a complicated,
not entirely...
proper relationship.
- What the fuck? - What do you mean
-by "not proper"? -I don't want to say any more right now.
I'm sorry. I... I probably already said too much.
Charlotte, did your father molest you?
Charlotte?
Who the fuck does she think she is?!
This goddamn little...!
We make up the stories!
That needs to be shut down.
I trust your judgment. Can you do that?
...only yesterday.
However, the joyous occasion is already...
Go... now.
Dale ended his own life...
Arby?
No matter what you think of the life we gave you,
it's a million times better than any life you would have had,
and you're earning your place in this crowded world...
every day.
Earning your place.
I met you when I was 43.
I thought that I would never be...
...loved.
That I... just wasn't meant for it.
But then...
we met and fell in love, and...
I just thought, "Wow. It's so simple."
Hmm.
My purpose was to make you love me,
so I did.
I showed you my real self,
stuff I keep hidden from the world,
my weaknesses.
Oh, Michael.
You show that to everybody.
That's why I was needed.
-Fears. -Mm. Like a neon sign.
-Mm. -Inadequacies.
Well, we fixed that, didn't we?
We made sure that your vaccine is going to save the world.
Wait a minute.
This was at Dale's.
Who do you work for?
People who matter.
People who will change the world.
You work for them, too.
Wait for me in here.
Ignore the screams.
I could not be more thrilled
with the FDA's decision to free the vaccine.
They have done a great service
to the countless children
who will now be saved from the Stearns Flu.
But this vaccine isn't just for kids.
It's for families,
and that's why I think that every man, woman and child
should get the vaccine.
That man in there--
is he why my mom's dead?
Yeah, we think he might be, yeah.
There's no need to waste time
because this vaccine works...
And the flu is still spreading.
Who the hell...?!
You've been doing a lot of talking
this past week, Dr. Mike.
Now you're gonna talk to me.
-Alice! -Grant!
Becky!
Guys, she said to stay... Oh, shit.
Oh, fuck.
Who the fuck are you?
Mmm.
I am a young and beautiful girl.
I'm a young and beautiful...
Hello, Lily.
-The police are out... -Gone.
How much did you tell them?
Nothing.
Nothing about Home.
Hmm.
You were told not to talk at all.
You were told not to raise interest.
Why do you keep talking?
Is this a good time for good news?
So, we've heard from Colleen.
Operation Fun was deployed,
and it was... a huge success.
The fact that there even had to be an Operation Fun
means you failed, means the Dale sob story didn't stick,
didn't convince the one guy, the one guy
you needed it to convince.
Michael won't be a problem.
'Cause once the vaccine ships, there won't be a Michael.
What happens to the good doctor then?
Okay.
So, I'm thinking...
...a little Bruce Ivins, baby.
I want Michael to get
the full anthrax treatment.
He'll be alone in his basement lab
when he... infects himself.
Can't live with what he'd done.
All because he needs a little recognition.
Yeah.
He wanted to play the hero.
So sad.
And... we did have Colleen commit him, so...
Good idea.
I really needed you to have a good idea.
I'm sorry, okay?
All my life I waited to fulfill my purpose.
-What was your purpose? -It was martyr.
Yes.
But Charlotte got to do it instead,
and then suddenly I was out in the world, and...
and I'd never left home before.
And I'd never seen so many people.
Hundreds and thousands of people,
and I didn't know what their purposes were,
and they didn't know what their purposes were.
Can you imagine?
No.
I felt like I might...
float.
And I wanted to talk to people,
not using words that I'd memorized, and...
and once I started, I-I couldn't stop.
You should have stopped.
Arby, the world is so big.
You like the world?
I love the world.
Arby?
Have you ever had Pepsi?
No Chinese lettering.
No scars.
-There has to be. -He's not Mr. Rabbit.
I'm Dr. Michael Stearns!
Feet up.
Wha...?
Check it all.
Whoa.
All clear.
Do you have a good paring knife?
You look like someone who would have
-a good paring knife. -Jessica, he's not Mr. Rabbit.
I don't give up that easy.
Hold my gun.
-Sit down. -What?
-Sit. -Yeah, okay, okay.
You don't have the scar, fine.
But why were you here?
The asylum?
Well, 'cause of my anxiety.
I was in a bad place.
I was seeing things.
Hea-Hearing things.
That was you.
Wasn't it? You put me there.
I did, Michael, to save you.
Wha...?
Ow! No, stop!
Stop! It was her!
She's some kind of secret agent!
Uh, she said that our marriage
was the... was the point, that it was her purpose.
Join the conversation. Are you Harvest?
I'm in mortgages. He's the one with all the degrees,
-the-the scientist. -She's playing dumb!
Do you want the Dahlia?
Are you Harvest?
I'm from Lincoln, Nebraska.
My mom taught third grade, and my dad sold life insurance.
I was just a housewife until...
Just-a-wife would scream.
Colleen...
She's Harvest.
Geez! Who is this lady?
I don't know who she is.
My purpose. Mine. Mine!
- Somebody help her! - Do something! Now!
Aah!
No!
Colleen?
I know you can kill me if you wanted to.
I know you'll kill me if they tell you to.
Oh, come on, Arby,
you always do what they tell you.
You're not doing what they told you.
I'm doing what's best.
Dr. Christie won't live forever.
The next generation needs to step up.
Ten years from now,
when everybody starts to understand what's happening,
I'll be in my prime.
I'll be able to provide solace.
Guidance.
Leadership.
That's my purpose.
Hmm.
You can't decide your own purpose.
I thought that, too, Arby.
Do you think Doctor loves you?
I think it was the most efficient way
for him to train me how to fulfill my purpose.
Do you think you can forgive them?
I don't mind that they made me,
but it's wrong that they made me a...
a monster.
Every child needs love.
I think.
I've known you my whole life,
since I was born, Arby, and you...
Don't want to be called Arby anymore.
Okay.
What should I call you?
John.
So, what's your plan?
I think I'll bring you back.
Like a cat bringing home a mouse?
A bird.
I think you're a bird.
Go.
Put it on.
Ow.
There you go.
Good as...
...new.
You know, we all, uh, we all get s... sad.
Sometimes I get...
I get very sad sometimes.
Whenever I feel that way, I just force myself
to do something silly, make myself feel better.
Downstairs...
that made me happy.
But only for a second.
Now I feel worse.
How about now?
Whoa... oh!
You're smiling.
-Oh, uh-oh. -Come on, we can jump.
- Come on. - I don't know.
And this one?
Aah! I don't know! I don't know!
I don't know! Uh...
Just-just, yeah...
It says "Enyo"-- I don't know!
Enyo, goddess of destruction.
Her fairy godmother is the goddess of destruction?
-That makes sense. -It's Milner. Remember?
She made that joke, "My-my cosplay name is Enyo."
It wasn't a joke.
What in the good fuck
are you maniacs talking about?!
Holy shit, how did we miss that?
- Blue Fairy is Homeland. - Wha...?
Are there any clues on this page?
What? Aah! Aah!
I don't know.
Uh...
Hey, wait a second.
These are bat wings.
And...
that is the imprint
of my virus right there.
Listen, stop, stop, stop, please!
Look... I don't know why my virus is in here,
but I do know how this flu is spreading.
It's not being spread.
It's being delivered.
So I discovered the Stearns flu in Peru.
In bats.
Now children are getting the flu
not by bats.
Someone has engineered my flu.
Wait, so how-how are they catching it?
By bunny.
They've put my flu inside of rabbits.
They've weaponized them.
So kids are going to the petting zoo,
playing with some fluffy, innocent, little bunny,
and then 12, 24, 36 hours later,
bam, they come down with the flu.
It looks like an outbreak.
The zoo moves on.
It's like a traveling petri dish.
Here, I'll show you.
Okay.
All right, here we go, look.
Alabama, Mississippi, St. Louis,
Knoxville, Cleveland, and tomorrow?
Chicago.
But we can fight it.
Let's go to the bathroom.
Look at this shit.
Bread makers and cake mixers and... gravy boats.
Gimcracks.
Tchotchkes.
Fuck.
We're not even human anymore.
We're just a mass assemblage
of data points collected online
and then aimed back at us, you know?
Buy this car, gift this tchotchke,
elect this president, you know, and if you feel bad
about all the stupid shit that you buy,
throw a few bucks at a foundation.
Save the planet. Help the kids.
That should make you feel better, right?
But then you go back to buying
the same shit over and over again because
God forbid it would make you get out of your little
creature comfort zones of fucking trans fats
and bump stocks and avocado fucking toast!
I mean, humans, we just take and take!
We're just like insects scuttling!
Fucking little insects!
Dude, you have way too much stuff!
Are they gonna make me disappear?
Just... say what they tell you to say.
It's not my purpose.
Pretend.
Please?
Is he home?
He's home.
And he's very disappointed.
Then... good night, John.
Good night, Lily.
Do you know why I started Home, Lily?
To raise kids to be how humans should be.
That's right.
A society in a vacuum.
No racism, no sexism, no inequality.
We raise kids to be thoughtful and brave, selfless...
Resilient, useful.
And a few very special children...
Get special purposes.
Did you get one?
Martyr, but I wasn't able
to actually be a martyr. I...
And what did you do?
I endangered Home
with my reckless, my selfish behavior.
What should we do with you now?
Getting close to the lab. Is it still alive?
Yes.
How long before the flu kills?
No one has lasted longer than 24 hours, except Charlotte.
How long before we can kill it?
Soon.
Do you have snacks?
Can I ask you a question?
Y... Yes?
Why would you not want to die?
Because then I'd be dead.
I don't know. If you're alive,
you at least have a chance to...
make things better.
If you're dead, that's it.
But, really, why not just die?
Think I'd like to stop running,
stop thinking... stop.
So many great things could come next.
So far, nothing good has come next.
Well, we are getting close to figuring out...
I know.
I want answers and I want revenge.
That's all I've been living for.
But then what?
Then...
you can start living a wonderful life.
The earth is burning and flooding, and
-there's people everywhere. -People are nice.
You talk to them.
They look at phones.
They take pictures of themselves
and then look at the pictures on their phones.
They're making memories.
And then you get old and you lose those memories.
And in the end, it's all gone anyway.
-No one wins. -Yeah...
Living a good life is the win.
It's just...
hard to be alive.
I wish I knew it was worth the trouble.
Well, life isn't always trouble.
Sometimes it's nice and small.
Those are the best times.
All right, almost there.
Huh.
I did not just
murder a bunch of bunnies for "Huh."
Wait.
They're not the murder weapon?
No, they are. They're the vector.
-But... -But what?
It's not mine. I don't know what's killing those kids,
but it's not my flu.
So your vaccine won't work.
You said the vaccine worked.
-You went on TV, you... -I did.
I saw it with my own eyes.
I cured Charlotte.
I... I...
At least I think I did.
I don't know anything anymore. I thought my wife loved me.
- I thought she was my wife. - What is the point?
Why would you give people false hope
with a vaccine that won't work?
Kevin Christie.
Of course.
He's... He owns it.
He's selling it.
Every man, woman and child
in this country will get that vaccine,
and he'll make billions and bill... Aah!
Kevin Christie is Mr. Rabbit.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, o-o-okay,
but M-Mr. Rabbit's point isn't just money.
Disease, murder-- that's his point.
There must be something awful in that vaccine.
Has to be. Something that's gonna kill us all.
-Well, then we have to stop it. -Yeah.
Wait. No, no, no, no. Kevin Christie's a giant.
-I mean, he's got money, he's got security. -I don't care.
I know who can help us.
The Blue Fairy.
Milner. In Utopia, she's Jessica's guardian angel.
In real life, she's Homeland.
Well? Who the fuck are you?
I have the same question, Enyo.
Jessica.
How did you know my dad?
And I'm in a hurry.
That's great news.
Indeed it is, yes.
Dr. Christie, I'll ask what America is asking.
-How soon? -We will be producing
200,000 vials a day,
and the first shipment begins at dawn.
-That's great. -Yeah.
And I see you have a friend with you.
Mm-hmm.
As I'm sure our viewers know, with us is Charlotte Warwick,
the lone survivor of the Stearns Flu, who tragically
lost her father this week.
Charlotte, how are you?
I'm focusing on being grateful
and thankful for being alive.
And for Dr. Christie and his family for taking me in
while I get on my feet and restore my sanity.
Our family's very, very happy to have Charlotte with us,
and we hope you'll respect her privacy
as the healing process continues.
And as America starts its healing process.
Yes.
Thank you both.
We got it?
- Good? Okay. - Good.
Sorry again, about the Simpro...
-Water under the bridge. -Okay.
Can I just ask a few questions?
Hey, this way.
-Thousands of families are already lined up... -Well done.
...in what, so far, is an orderly fashion.
Sometimes the perfect can be the enemy of the good.
This week, we did good.
And in just a few hours...
We earn our place in this crowded world.
...panicking to make sure
their kids are the ones who get this first shipment.
Before Mr. Rabbit took control of him,
your father was part of Homeland's
biological crime unit.
I was his partner.
He would help me with the cases I was working.
Your father had no idea how to take care of you.
You were such a teeny little thing.
Do you remember me?
In Utopia,
you're Jessica's fairy godmother.
You give her a blanket.
Like this?
You loved it.
It was yours.
By the time Homeland had become aware of Mr. Rabbit,
he'd already gotten ahold of your father.
And your father's wonderful, groundbreaking work
became illness for profit,
horror to the highest bidder.
And... next thing I know,
you two were gone.
You were both gone.
You just left this blanket.
And I've been searching for you ever since.
I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.
Yeah, but, uh,
hey, you can protect her now.
We know who Mr. Rabbit is.
Kevin Christie.
Okay. I'll bite.
Why Christie?
All right, the flu that's killing children?
He created it, and the vaccine doesn't work.
There's--
I don't know-- something in it.
The FDA approved of it.
Um, unless you disagree with the FDA?
Uh, yeah, all the time.
The vaccine is about to ship,
and it will save hundreds of thousands of lives.
It's gonna kill hundreds of thousands of lives.
I mean, is it SARS again? Is that what he's doing?
Ebola? Maybe... maybe Zika?
You have to help us stop the shipment.
I've met Christie... many times.
Conferences, fundraisers.
He's a good person.
He is not Mr. Rabbit.
So you're not gonna help us?
Of course you aren't.
No, I'm not, because all you're giving me is some paranoid hunch
-that I can find in any reddit chatroom. -Forget her.
We'll get the vaccine ourselves.
Jessica, if you are caught or jailed,
you're just gonna make it easier for Mr. Rabbit to destroy you.
Then I won't get caught.
Where'd you guys go?
We killed a bunch of bunnies, lit a petting zoo on fire,
talked to Milner, and proved Christie is Mr. Rabbit.
And we're going to stop the vaccines and then kill him.
How were the sundaes?
We need to get going.
What about Grant and Alice?
We're coming.
Well... are we home?
