06x06 - Bury Her Next to Jasper's Leg
Posted: 11/15/20 08:36
I can stay.
Let them go.
I'll help you make it. I know how.
Now that sounds like a deal to me.
This place is kinda rough around the edges.

Ginny didn't tell you?
- No.
- She transferred me.
- I'm based out of Lawton now.
- What?

[Neighing continues]
[Grunting]
You know, when I was a girl, I once saw a bullfrog that looked kinda like that poor fella there.
Stomach hanging out of its mouth like he'd been Heimliched with a sledgehammer.
Thought he was a goner for sure, but just as I was about to bury him, he sucked his stomach right back up into his mouth and hopped away like it was any other day.
Turns out, some frogs vomit up things they'd rather not eat, in a most peculiar way.
What the hell does that mean?
It means sometimes you think something's dead, and it's not.
This doesn't have to be the end for you.
I-I don't understand. What did I do?
Hill?
[Growling continues]
[Grunting]
- Spray paint?
- They're for marking trees.
So we know which ones to fell.
Like this one?
[Snaps fingers]
We found a lot of these.
All over these here woods, and other places, too.
"The end is the beginning."
Now it's my turn, Paige.
What the hell does that mean?
Okay.
How long you been working these woods for the mill?
- Almost a year now.
- That's right.
Since, uh, what was his name?
- Jasper.
- Since Jasper lost his leg.
Didn't we bury that 'round here?
Just over that ridge yonder.
Oh, yeah.
So, you know we're building a future here.
Hell, you've been chopping down the lumber we've been using to build that future.
So you also know
I would do anything to protect it.

I don't recall saying anything worth smiling over.
You're scared.
Do I look scared?
Yeah.
You do.

Hill?
Marcus?
We'll finish this back at Lawton where we're better prepared to get the answers we need.

Hill: Watch out!
Marcus: Drop it.
It's alright, fellas.
I can handle myself.
It's not about you.
It's not about any of you.
Then what's it about?
It's about what you're building.
It's about the future.
What about it?
What are you doing?
No, you don't want to do that!

Damn it!
What do you want me to do with her?
See what she's got.
On her person, back at the bunkhouse.
Check her belly, see what she's ate.
Maybe there'll be a clue.
Maybe it'll be cookie's mush.
Then bury her next to Jasper's leg.

Your appendix. It's gotta come out.
Have you ever done this before?
It's nothing to worry about.

She can lie to you if you want.
Aah! Yes!
Here.

I was a trauma nurse for years.
I was in the ICU before that.
I've seen dozens of emergency appendectomies, okay?

This is, uh, to take the edge off.
Here you go.

How long have we been awake?

We gotta be at Paradise Ridge in three.

I can't keep this up, Sarah.
I think there's a little bottle of No Doz up in the glove box.
We're just stretched too thin, serving too many people, spread too far apart.
We're just gonna keep doing too little too late.
You ever think about asking Freckles to build you a hospital?
She's never gonna go for it.

You already asked her, didn't ya?
It's too dangerous to let people travel without an escort.
Too dangerous for her.
Speaking of, where the hell is Terry?
He's late.
Dorie: June, do you copy?
John? Yeah, I copy.
You and Sarah still out by mile marker ?
Still here. You with Terry?
No, he's sleeping one off.
He didn't show up for his shift, so I volunteered.
We better boogie if we're gonna get there on time.
Y'all sit tight. I'll be there in five.
June, you can ride with me.
Copy.
I lost him, John.
I told him it was gonna be okay.
And then I lost him.
When Ginny put me in charge of the medical run, I thought I'd actually be saving lives.
We could leave.
Leave?
What are you talking about?
We get to Paradise Ridge, it's only a hundred miles or so to my cabin.
If we drive careful, we can make it there on the gas we got on the t*nk.
We might have to hoof it the last or miles.
We can't just leave.
Why not?
Janis... her and Cameron had a whole plan worked out...
Food, gasoline, the works.
Before she died...
...she tried to give it to me.
She wanted me to take it so we could escape.
I didn't.
Boy, I wish I did.
You want to save people?
You want to make a difference?
This is how you do it.
I'm not gonna save anyone by running.
Me. You could save me.
What is it?
I just...
Come on.
I can't stay here.
I just have a feeling if I... if I do,
I'm not gonna last long.
What happened, John?
What happened with Janis?
I'm sorry. I-I can't...
Whatever it is you're trying to protect me from, whatever happens, you don't have to.
You can tell me. I need to know.
I just gotta get as far away from this place as possible.
Virginia will hunt us down.
Not if she can't find us.
We'll have a head start.

Dakota.

I need you to make sure she's alright, that she gets taken care of.

How... How did you...?
Back before anesthesia, when they would do amputations, there were two ways to cauterize the wound.
One was gunpowder.
And the other?
Hot metal.
Guess today was your lucky day.
Yeah, that's what it feels like.
What do you know about these people...
The ones that did this?
[Sighs] We should talk.
We'll talk.
Yeah, we'll talk.
And you were right. There is something that I want.
Mm, can't be gas.
We're out of that now.
That's not it.

She's the one that saved Ginny's life.
Why would you do that?
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.
That makes three of us.
The hospital.
- She's giving it to us.
- You're sh1tting me!
You can't trust her, June.
Good people died here today.
Our people.
It has to matter.
Well, we have to make it count.
We also have to watch our backs, which is why we call the sh*ts on this, not her.
We choose where to put it, and we choose who runs it.
No offense, June, but... this foursome ain't exactly Johns Hopkins.
I know.
Which is why I made Ginny give me another Marine, or at least somebody who should have been one.

It did today. I thought Ginny was the thing standing in the way of us helping people.

- No, something's happening.

- There's some group.
Something's after the settlements.
They might need you, too.
She's got the wool pulled over your eyes.

John, we can do this.
It's us.
Here.

You know, when I was a girl, I once saw a bullfrog that looked kinda like that poor fella there.
Stomach hanging out of its mouth like he'd been Heimliched with a sledgehammer.
Thought he was a goner for sure, but just as I was about to bury him, he sucked his stomach right back up into his mouth and hopped away like it was any other day.
Turns out, some frogs vomit up things they'd rather not eat, in a most peculiar way.

Wait, what happened?
- Ask June.
- [Footsteps approaching]
She's the one that saved Ginny's life.
Why would you do that?
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.
That makes three of us.
The hospital.
- She's giving it to us.
- You're sh1tting me!
You can't trust her, June.
Good people died here today.
Our people.
It has to matter.
Well, we have to make it count.
We also have to watch our backs, which is why we call the sh*ts on this, not her.
We choose where to put it, and we choose who runs it.
No offense, June, but... this foursome ain't exactly Johns Hopkins.
I know.
Which is why I made Ginny give me another Marine, or at least somebody who should have been one.

Dorie: Everybody's gonna be clearing out soon.
Car's all gassed up.
John, the hospital I've been trying to set up...
The road forks about miles down.
We split off, tell everybody we're gonna circle back, and then we just keep going.
John, the hospital is happening.
We can't just leave.
I don't want to leave.
- [Car door closes, engine starts]
- Hmm?
I don't understand.
Every time I run, it leads me to something worse.
I don't want to run anymore.
Well, we can't stay here.
I can't.
Things change, John.
It did today. I thought Ginny was the thing standing in the way of us helping people.
- She is.
- No, something's happening.
- She is.
- There's some group.
Something's after the settlements.
They might need you, too.
She's got the wool pulled over your eyes.
- No.
- Same as she did with me.
John, we can do this.
It's us.
Here.
Now.
Maybe you can.
Sarah: Hey, we going scouting or what?
Wendell: We better find that sucker quick.
Ain't like we got gas to burn anymore.
I'll be right there.
You'll follow behind us, huh?
- 'Course.
- Mm.
Mm-hmm?
