[LAUGHS]

[IN NORMAL VOICE] And she hands you

one of those little pink plastic spoons.

And you run your other hand

along that cold glass countertop.

Inside, you see barrels and barrels

of Sylvia's fresh homemade ice cream.

But new it's still early,

so she's gut all the best flavors.

Salted Haney. Peanut Butter Brittle Crunch.

And of course, your favorite.

- Strawberry Shortcake.

-Ha, ha.

Are you there?

You happy new?

Till tomorrow.

Till tomorrow.

ZOE:

You win.

I win.

- Aha. lwin.

RAY:
Everything's gonna work out.

CLAIRE:

I'm trying to believe that, Ray. I really am.

But imaginary ice cream

isn't gonna feed our daughter.

ZOE:
Told you.

RAY:
Just trying to keep her spirits up.

CLAIRE:
And you are.

But what happens when she gets sick?

We've lost a lot of weight already,

all of us, and now...

And new we're just gonna have to find

a way to get more fond.

Real fond.

I'll go to the damn surface if I have to.

You can't, Ray.

- They're still lacking for us.

-Yeah, well, I can fight them.

That's suicide, and you know it.

Dc you remember our promise

when we first gut here?

Zoe comes first. Na matter the cast.

- The important thing is we haven't been found.

-Except by a rat.

But only by a rat.

Oh, honey.

Try changing your paint of view.

This shelter can be a prison

or it can be a home.

- Beans can be beans or they can be--

-Miracle beans.

- Why not?

Because I'm not 9 years old, Ray.

I get what you're trying to do for ZaZa.

But I don't believe in miracles.

- Not anymore.

-Well, you should.

This is our life new,

and we have to live it the best we can.

Or else what's the paint?

- The paint is ta stay alive.

-And we can do that...

...and still live.

Mm?

CLAIRE:
Ray?

-Huh?

What are you doing?

Living.

CLAIRE:
Well, we gotta be real quiet.

-Relax.

I'll see you tonight.

Have fun.

[ALL SHOUTING]

Mam! Mam! Please!

CLAIRE:

Zoe!

ZOE:

Mam! Dad! They're coming!

CLAIRE:

Oh. That's a daazy. A five and a two.

- So five divided by two is...

-Two and a half.

Bingo. You can move your car now.

Came an. Thought this would be

a fun change of pace.

It's still baring math, Mam.

Even with Kingsville.

Well, if it's so baring,

haw came Olive's still smiling?

That's her fake smile.

That's why she lacks a little... You know.

"Cmepy?

-Ah!

I didn't mean that, honey.

She just needs a bath. That's all.

Haw about we have

another go around the board...

...and then we take a break, okay?

Okay.

Mam? Dc you think Dad's right?

- Right about what?

-You know...

"about the three of us

being the only ones left?

- The periscope'?

-That's rig ht.

- What do you want meta do with it?

-What do you think?

I want you to lack up there.

- On the surface?

-Mm-hm.

I thought you said I wasn't allowed to do

that, ever, ever, ever, or I'd be dead meat.

Yeah, well, I'm trying something new today.

What?

Relaxing.

[CAws]

Se, what do you see?

Nothing. The school. Playground.

Nothing.

Dad's right. It's just us left.

- Us and Olive.

-But do you see us and Olive?

- No, Mom.

-Do you see the shelter door?

- I can't see the dour. It's covered.

-Exactly.

When we first came dawn here, Dad and I

made sure to hide the dour, remember?

Sc that no one could ever find us.

- So?

...sometimes, just because you can't see

something doesn't mean it's not there.

Sometimes the Ruth's hidden from us.

Dc you think our friends

could really be out there?

They're just hidden like us'?

They could. They'd have to be.

Because the Breathers

would be hunting them?

ZaZa.

Yeah, the Breathers

would be hunting them tan.

They hate us a lat, don't they?

Ta keep hunting us like that?

I don't know that it's hate. It's just...

They're different than we are.

And that makes them as scared of us

as we are of them.

- Because of what happened that day?

-Yeah. Because of what happened.

- You said Breathers.

-I know.

[ZOE GASPS]

The thief.

He's back.

RAY:

Don't lack.

He'!-

What's wrung?

It's the thief.

That sun of a b*tch.

- I'll kill it. Stay back in case it makes a run for it.

-Na, no, you stay back. I'll kill it.

- Na, I'll kill it.

-We can't all kill it, guys.

You remember that Thanksgiving

at Aunt Cathy's a couple years ago?

With that insane possum

in the backyard?

Who tank care of that thing?

- After Dad kills it, can we eat it for dinner?

- ZaZa, quiet.

- Get it, Dad.

-Unh. Sh*t.

-I'm just scared.

RAY:
Well, there's nothing

to be scared of anymore. We put the fire out.

Nobody's hurt. Look, even Olive's okay.

Just a little dirty, that's all. See?

- Everything's gonna be okay.

-Na, Dad. It's not.
