Do you, um

Do you remember

anything about it?

Do you remember

what it was about?

Um

No.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

It's already fading.

But thank you

for saving me.

And as a reward,

you get one kiss.

One is cheap.

I know.

I'm cheap.

Uh uh one.

- Mm-mm.

- One.

- With you.

- You have a meeting.

- You have a meeting.

- I have a meeting.

You have a meeting.

- I have a meeting.

- You have a meeting.

Yeah, yeah. Okay.

You're gonna be super late

for your meeting.

No, 'cause I can sneak in.

Michelle just got her

three-month fob?

She just talks, and talks,

and talks, and talks.

That's pretty mean.

You haven't been

in a room with her.

Mm.

Something bothering you?

Yeah, actually. Um

You don't have to tell me

everything about your dreams.

I understand that

we all have difficult sh*t

that we don't wanna share.

Just don't lie to me about them.

About having them.

And-- And--

And talk to someone--

not me, just someone.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

I will.

I promise.

What'd you mean

she just died in her sleep?

I don't know.

She was fine a minute ago.

Okay, what did she have?

A heart attack? A stroke?

What happened?

I don't know! Okay?

I don't know!

- Hey. Hey.

- You're crazy!

- I'm really sorry--

You're trippin', dog.

What the f*ck is going on?

She's gone through

a lot, okay?

Do you have a car?

Why?

I need to get

to a police station.

I don't think

what's happening here

is isolated.

No one's responding

to our phone calls--

the CDC, the feds.

Hell no!

Listen, I'm sorry, lady,

but we've been up doing

this Batman sh*t all night.

This is crazy!

I'm fittin' to go home!

Oh, you've been up

doing "Batman sh*t"?

We've had kids,

healthy people,

drop dead for no reason.

You think that's normal?

Hey

Look, the police station

is just 10 minutes

down the road.

And what are we gonna do

if we get home?

Just go to bed?

This is bullshit, man.

Get the car.

"Please."

Please.

Oh. I'm Dave, by the way.

And this is Matteo.

Linda.

Nice to meet you.

- Stop the car.

- Wait.

I can't-- Hold on--

No, don't pull over.

Stop the car.

- Let me out.

- Why?

Now! Let me out of the car!

- Whoa.

- Okay, all right.

What's up?

Linda.

Linda!

Yo, everything cool?

I don't know, man.

Man, let's leave her.

Let's go.

- Hey.

- Wait.

Where is everyone?

What the hell, man?

Jesus Christ.

It's hit the whole town.

- Whoa! sh*t!

Yo, what the f*ck?

If anyone's out there,

they'll hear that and come.

You got a strap?

You just out here

busting chops broad day?

What the hell kind

of psycho nurse is this, bro?

Wait, wait, wait!

Please

somebody come.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Is anybody home?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello?

Any survivors?

No.

I checked every house

on this side of the street.

Were all the victims

lying in bed?

Yeah, mostly.

I mean, some were

on their couches.

Do you have any idea

what's going on here?

Some sort of virus,

a pathogen.

But, whatever it is,

I think it's triggered by sleep.

Excuse me?

Think about it.

Your friends.

Everyone at the hospital.

People we're finding now.

Every single one of them

died in their sleep.

I mean, that's impossible.

This-- This is crazy.

So, what? We're just supposed

to stay awake forever?

Forget going

to the police station.

If it hit the whole town,

we've gotta let people know.

Call anyone you think

might be awake,

tell 'em not to go to sleep.

Now.

Hey, you've reached Katie.

Leave a message.

Katie, it's me.

I know you said

you needed some space,

but this isn't about us.

Don't go to sleep.

Whatever you do,

you have to stay awake, okay?

And call me when you get this.

Hey, you've reached Katie.

Leave a message.

Damn!

Look, we have to warn

anyone who might be awake.

People who work night shifts.

We have to reach out to them

somehow.

And what do you have in mind?

I don't know.

No one's picking up.

But somewhere local.

Somewhere where

we can get the word out.

Got an idea.

This is live.

Right now.

The radio station?

Late-night Larry--

broadcasts all night

till eight a.m.

It's just up on Montgomery.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Let's go!

A'ight.

Hey, can we swing

by Katie's first?

I just need

to see if she's

Yeah.

- I just need to check on her.

- Of course.

Buckle up, boys and girls.

It's dead.

Can you fix it?

Uh

Yeah, I think so,

just give me a minute.

Goddammit!

- Come on. Come on.

Dave

- Katie, holy sh*t!

Katie, listen--

Dave, I need you

to listen to me. Okay?

You can't just keep

calling like this.

Please, I--

I really just need

to figure sh*t out.

Wait. No, Katie,

there's something going on.

Let me explain.

No, Dave. Look, I just

I-- I need space.

No, this is more important.

I need you

to really respect that.

And, when I am ready to talk,

I will let you know.

I'm going to bed.

I am exhausted.

So, please,

respect my privacy.

Look, Katie--

Katie? Katie?

- God!

Matteo, we gotta go!

I've narrowed it down

to the fan or the water pump.

Just give me, like, 20 minutes.

- Dave!

- Dave!

- Man, where you going?

- Katie's!

What? That's, like,

three, four miles away!

You can't run for sh*t!

Come on.

Come on,

you son of a b*tch, unscrew.

Radio station isn't picking up.

- Oh, sh*t!

- What?

Nothing.

I just

No, what?

Hey, can you

Can you, like, make some

small talk, or something?

You do realize that

we're in the middle

of the end of the world, right?

Yes. I'm aware.

But, you know,

if you want me to fix this car,

a little distraction

might go a long way.

Okay

Army, right?

Air Force.

But, yeah.

How'd you know?

We got a lot of veterans

coming into the ICU.

Domestic disturbances.

DUIs. Bar fights.

Uncle Sam's finest.

You know what?

On second thought,

a little quiet might be nice.

Attitude problem.

Cool.

Must have slept in.

So, we got a long song for you

while ol' Larry takes

a little siesta.

I'm not gonna lie,

I'm still kinda offended

about what you said

about us veterans.

You know,

we're not all assholes.

Just 50%, like everybody else.

Well, since

you're the only one left alive,

I guess that makes it 100%.

Man, that's dark.

I mean, you don't

believe that, do you?

That we're the only ones.

I'm sure that there are

other people out there.

Okay?

We just need to find them.

Fix the car and go.

Start praying to whatever god

you believe in,

'cause here we go.

And they said we're just

a bunch of dumb grunts.

Not all of you, okay?

50%.

All right,

let's get out of here.

Katie? Katie!

Katie!

Come on!

All right.

Katie!

Katie?

Katie.

Katie?

Hello?

Hello!

Anybody here?

Hello!

Hello!

Oh, no.

What?

Oh, sh*t! Hey!

Larry! Hey, come on, man!

Get up!

Larry!

Larry, no!

Come on!

This is some bullshit. No!

Matteo, he's dead.

This man

This man was a legend.

I mean, he single-handedly

revolutionized radio.

Okay, I am sorry for your loss,

but can we figure this out?

You're a cold-hearted b*tch.

I swear to God.

What the hell

are you doing here?

Something's happening.

It-- It's hit the whole town.

People are dying.

Dave, you're not making sense.

I-- I know I'm not.

It's sleep!

If you go to sleep,

you aren't gonna wake up.

What are you talking about?

Katie, Randy's dead!

Dave, you're not making sense.

I'm just gonna

I'm gonna call 911.

Just don't move.

You can call anybody,

no one's gonna answer!

Hold on. I've done this before,

just give me a moment.

Your call cannot be completed

as dialed.

Please check the number

and dial again.

It's not going through.

Yeah, I know.

- Hey!

- Dave!

- Anybody!

- Dave, stop it!

Fire! Run!

Dave, stop!

Where is everyone?

Where are your neighbors?

Shouldn't someone be coming out

in the hallway by now?

Okay, good luck.

Attention.

This is an emergency broadcast.

If you are hearing this,

do not go to sleep.

Stay awake.

I repeat, do not go to sleep.

We are in the middle

of a deadly pandemic

that is triggered by sleep.

If you are hearing this,

go to the Santa Mira Hospital.

- This is an emergency

Is it real?

It's real.

People are dying.

Dave, I couldn't sleep.

I took pills.

What?

I took some sleeping pills.

I repeat,

if you are hearing this,

go to the Santa Mira Hospital.

Do not go to sleep,

you will die.
