How do you know that name?
Victor told us all about you.
Victor's alive?
I gave up my family
to put this guy away.
I'm not about to let him succeed now.
Recognize this voice,
Teddy? Give you a hint.
Last time you heard it, you were
in a Denton County courthouse
listening to my testimony against you.
Couldn't k*ll me then, and you sure

No.

- John...
- I have questions.
Had 'em close to years.
The answers might be in here.
Theodore Maddox k*lled women.
At least that's how
many he confessed to.
Yeah, you don't have
to relive it all for me.
No way I can forget it, June.
The women... he did
the same thing to them
that he was doing
after he escaped prison.
Embalming 'em so they'd never have
what he called a new beginning.
Problem is, we could
never find the place
where he was doing the embalming.
Which is why he was able to
continue as long as he did.
You still stopped him.
Only for a spell.
He still got what he wanted, June.
John, I don't think going over all this
is going to help anyone.
- It might.
- What do you mean?
I didn't find 'em all.
Find what?
I said we knew he k*lled women,
but we only found bodies.
His last victim, Cindy Hawkins,
the one whose purse I planted,
he finally admitted he k*lled her.
It's what cracked the whole thing open.
But I never found her body.
I looked that girl's mama
square in the eye,
and I promised her I'd
help her bury her baby,
promised her I'd help give
her the ending she deserved.
But I was never able to.
You tried. That's what counts.
I made a promise I
couldn't keep back then.
But maybe I can now.
Maybe something in here will
help me find where she is.
John, even if you figure it out,
you can't leave here.
[CREAKING, RUMBLING]
We may not have a choice.
How are those suits coming?
Still trying to make them airtight.
If we ever go up there,
we can't risk breathing
in any particles.
How long till you think they'll be done?
It's not just the suits.
I mean, once these are done,
we need some kind of airlock...
a go-between from outside to in here
so we don't drag anything back in.
Why would we come back?
We don't know what kind
of radiation is up there.
There are some types
that suits might not
even protect against.
And if there are?
Well, I'm not an expert,
but from what I've read...
... it'll be a lot safer then.
Well, uh, you keep working on the suits.
I'll start shoring things up,
buy us some time in case
we can't venture out.
I think I saw some twobys next door.
Mm.
I'm sorry, June.
I know I'm not the Dorie
you thought you'd be
spending your days with.
I am happy to be where I am.
- I hope you feel the same.

- Are you sure?
One thing I know about Teddy...
he liked to have a good time
when he wasn't causing a
bad one for somebody else.
That's why he had as much
as he did down here.
How did you know how
much he had down here?
Can't ration without knowing.
I know, but that was my job.
John, have you been drinking
without me knowing?
- Here and there.
- How much?
I didn't keep track.
And before, when you were up there?
I was alone a lot, June.
John, I need you to tell me
exactly how much you
were drinking up there.
Half a bottle a day?
Whatever I could find.
And down here?
A drink here and there.
It wasn't just the night caps.
I just...
I thought there was
enough to get us through.
Your hands are shaking.
When was the last time you had a drink?
Day before last.
Before the ceiling collapsed.

CHAMBLISS: This episode
is called "Cindy Hawkins".
That title actually comes from the name
of one of Teddy's victims,
a victim who, we'll learn
over the course of the episode,
actually holds a lot of
significance to John Dorie Sr.
Keep your promise.

The beginning of this sequence
really was about showing
what life is like in
this fall-out bunker,
and even though the world
above has gone to hell,
they actually have something
that's not all that bad.
We kind of see the two
of them creating this bond
where they're growing close together,
where they're actually with family,
the family neither one of them,
I think, ever thought they would have.
I know I'm not the Dorie
you thought you'd be

This bunker is actually
where Teddy k*lled all
the women back in the ' s.
When John Dorie Sr. discovers the room
where Teddy k*lled everyone,
not only is he kind of
reminded of his own failures
in stopping Teddy in the past,
but he's reminded of
a promise that he made
to one of Teddy's victims.
Cindy Hawkins.
I looked that girl's mama
square in the eye,
and I promised her I'd help give
her the ending she deserved.
years later, he thinks he's going to
finally make good on his promise.
As Dorie Sr. continues to see
visions of Cindy Hawkins,
the one thing that Cindy starts to do...
and, really, is John's subconscious...
is start to turn him against June.
John, have you been drinking
without me knowing?
Here and there.
As June discovers,
Dorie Sr. has actually been
secretly drinking in the bunker.
And now he's without the one
thing he used to self-medicate,
and it comes at the moment when
he is quite literally haunted
by the one victim he wasn't
able to give peace to.
John...
- John, don't do that!
- I have to!
You're gonna bring the whole place down!
I need to get her to stop.
Dorie is going to risk
both of their lives
to go up above ground,
and June feels like the
only thing she can do
to protect themselves is to sedate him
until he gets through, really,
the worst of his alcohol withdrawal.
June... You...
I'm sorry, but I should
have done that sooner.
You'll just...

where John tries to go above ground
when June wants to stay below ground
leads to the reveal from June

it was safe to go above ground.
Is it really as dangerous as you said?

who's in some real danger
because she's pinned beneath
a collapsed beam in this bunker.

solve the crime once more.

CHAMBLISS: After John Dorie
Sr. makes the right decision
and he returns to the bunker
and does it with just
enough time to save June
from the stalker who's infiltrated,
they actually end up finding
that Cindy Hawkins was buried
in the walls of the bunker,
that Teddy must have not had enough time
to put her body anywhere else.
And ultimately, Dorie Sr.
is able to kind of fulfill the promise
that he made to Cindy Hawkins'
mother all those years ago.

I think he realizes
that it's never too late

The difference in June
and Dorie Sr.'s reactions
to living in Strand's tower
really are kind of a
function of the fact
that she's had some time to accept
that this may be the only way
they're gonna be able to live.
Well, good morning.
Victor.
Dorie Sr. is waking up into this
and is kind of discovering the fact
that they are now forced
to live with the man
who he saw do some
pretty terrible things.
I'm done listening to you, Morgan.
I'm going to do what you couldn't.
I'm going to rebuild the world.
I'm going to help everyone
that you let down.
Strand is really enjoying the
fact that he is the leader now
and Morgan's on the outs.
I think in many ways it really speaks to
Strand's need to kind of be recognized,
and that's a big part of
what his journey's gonna be
as we continue to go
forward in the season.
I will come for you, Victor.
Bring it.
It really is kind of setting
up this antagonism
between these two characters
as we continue to go
deeper into the season,

the same thing to them
that he was doing
after he escaped prison.
Embalming 'em so they'd never have
what he called a new beginning.
Problem is, we could
never find the place
where he was doing the embalming.
Which is why he was able to
continue as long as he did.

is called "Cindy Hawkins".

over the course of the episode,
actually holds a lot of
significance to John Dorie Sr.

The beginning of this sequence
really was about showing
what life is like in
this fall-out bunker,
and even though the world
above has gone to hell,
they actually have something
that's not all that bad.
We kind of see the two
of them creating this bond
where they're growing close together,
where they're actually with family,
the family neither one of them,
I think, ever thought they would have.
I know I'm not the Dorie

This bunker is actually
where Teddy k*lled all
the women back in the ' s.
When John Dorie Sr. discovers the room
where Teddy k*lled everyone,
not only is he kind of
reminded of his own failures
in stopping Teddy in the past,
but he's reminded of
a promise that he made
to one of Teddy's victims.
Cindy Hawkins.
I looked that girl's mama
square in the eye,
and I promised her I'd help give
her the ending she deserved.
years later, he thinks he's going to
finally make good on his promise.
As Dorie Sr. continues to see
visions of Cindy Hawkins,
the one thing that Cindy starts to do...
and, really, is John's subconscious...
is start to turn him against June.
John, have you been drinking
without me knowing?
Here and there.
As June discovers,
Dorie Sr. has actually been
secretly drinking in the bunker.
And now he's without the one
thing he used to self-medicate,
and it comes at the moment when
he is quite literally haunted
by the one victim he wasn't
able to give peace to.
John...
- John, don't do that!
- I have to!
You're gonna bring the whole place down!
I need to get her to stop.
Dorie is going to risk
both of their lives
to go up above ground,
and June feels like the
only thing she can do
to protect themselves is to sedate him
until he gets through, really,
the worst of his alcohol withdrawal.
June... You...
I'm sorry, but I should
have done that sooner.
You'll just...

CHAMBLISS: After John Dorie
Sr. makes the right decision
and he returns to the bunker
and does it with just
enough time to save June
from the stalker who's infiltrated,
they actually end up finding
that Cindy Hawkins was buried
in the walls of the bunker,
that Teddy must have not had enough time
to put her body anywhere else.
And ultimately, Dorie Sr.
is able to kind of fulfill the promise

mother all those years ago.

The difference in June
and Dorie Sr.'s reactions
to living in Strand's tower
really are kind of a
function of the fact
that she's had some time to accept
that this may be the only way
they're gonna be able to live.
Well, good morning.
Victor.
Dorie Sr. is waking up into this
and is kind of discovering the fact
that they are now forced
to live with the man
who he saw do some
pretty terrible things.
I'm done listening to you, Morgan.
I'm going to do what you couldn't.
I'm going to rebuild the world.
I'm going to help everyone
that you let down.
Strand is really enjoying the
fact that he is the leader now
and Morgan's on the outs.
I think in many ways it really speaks to
Strand's need to kind of be recognized,
and that's a big part of
what his journey's gonna be
as we continue to go
forward in the season.
I will come for you, Victor.
Bring it.
It really is kind of setting
up this antagonism
between these two characters
as we continue to go
deeper into the season,
and I think it creates a question of,
"Whose side is everyone gonna fall onto
as the conflict continues?"
