Lano & Woodley: The Island

---

You're special.

You have a very special

purpose in life.

You've been chosen.

The Island awaits you.

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Good morning, Tower One.

Exterior contamination index

is 85 percent.

Sunny and mild.

Hey, I'm missing a left shoe.

And when you get a chance,

I'd like another color.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

- Hey, Lincoln. How you doing?

- I'm missing a shoe.

- Hey, you're cutting.

- Yeah.

Thank you.

We're full.

Good morning.

July 19th, 2019.

Another day in paradise.

Starkweather Two Delta,

your time has come.

You're moving out to the Island.

Starkweather Two Delta here.

And, as you know, the biggest dream

of my life just came true.

I've only been with you guys

for, like, six months,

but I won the lottery.

- That's right, me, Starkweather, OK?

- Six months.

To go out and breathe fresh air,

swim in the ocean...

I can't believe I won.

You call me Mr. Popular, I know.

It's me. It's me.

You guys know I'm not like this,

but this is just amazing.

I'm going to the Island!

We're gonna have so much fun!

But I need to see you guys out there.

You can do it! I won!

That was this week's...

We got a disturbance

on elevator 12, plaza level.

...just moments before his

final departure to the Island,

nature's last remaining

pathogen-free zone.

- Lucky guy, huh?

- You can be a winner too.

The next lottery is tonight.

The next lottery is tonight.

- How long have you been here?

- Two years.

- What about you?

- Three.

Three. I've been here seven.

If I do the math, that makes me

the biggest lottery loser in the room.

I'm such a loser.

Sir.

Yeah, you.

Swipe.

Gandu Three Echo, you've been flagged

for public disturbance before.

Yes, I had a very small

emotional outburst, sir.

- Safe to say it's over?

- Yes, very safe.

- I'm feeling much better.

- Well, then, have a pleasant day.

Thank you, you too.

You both have a pleasant day too.

Feel the stretch.

One more breath in.

But I was in that section.

No, I don't understand!

- I tried! I tried to do the best I...

- Listen to me!

Remember, be polite,

pleasant and peaceful.

A healthy person is a happy person.

Lincoln Six Echo, choices are fruit,

oatmeal and any type of bran.

No bacon today?

You got a nutrition flag,

means no bacon.

In that case, two eggs,

over easy, not too runny,

and a side of sausages.

Maybe some French toast

and a little powdered sugar.

You ain't cute and I got no time

for your lip, Six Echo.

Now, what's it gonna be?

Move it.

Surprise me.

Surprise.

Yummy. Next.

Watch and learn.

Next.

Jordan Two Delta.

- Hi, honey.

- Hi.

Choices are powdered eggs,

dried fruit and yogurt.

- Eggs, please.

- OK.

So, where were you the other day?

We missed you.

That's nice of you to say, sweetheart.

Get you anything else?

Maybe a little bacon.

No, it says I shouldn't.

- Go ahead.

- Four, five pieces, please.

Thank you.

Well, good luck.

Gotta run along now.

You're not going.

You gotta stay for dinner.

- I softened her up for you.

- No doubt.

- Back on your diet?

- You kidding? I love this stuff.

Better eat up.

You'll need all your strength tonight.

Is that a challenge?

I promise I'll go easy on you.

Please separate.

Find your seats now.

Yeah.

"'Who wants Sally? ' said Dick.

'I do,' said Jane.

'I cannot find Sally.

Get up, Dick.

Get up and help me find Sally.

Is Sally here?"'

Dr. Merrick will see you now.

What'd you do wrong this time,

tough guy?

Sir?

- You wanted to see me?

- Yes. Please.

Please, sit down.

So, how is Lincoln Six Echo today?

Not so good, I guess.

Why do you say that?

Well, if I'm here,

it means I'm not so good.

That's a rather negative association.

My only job is to see that you're happy,

things are OK with you.

Right.

Your file shows that you've

been interacting regularly

with Jordan Two Delta.

- There's no law against friendship.

- No. No, we encourage it,

but, obviously,

proximity could become a concern.

I know the rules of proximity.

You've been doing quite well

in most other areas.

Proficient at work,

exercising rigorously.

But screening has picked up

some trace levels,

changes in your metabolism,

and you've been having nightmares.

Are you saying there's

something wrong with me?

Why don't you tell me

about your dream?

Well, it's the same dream every time.

I'm on a boat, headed to the Island.

A boat? What kind of boat?

A nice boat.

Draw it for me, would you?

So, you are heading

toward the Island.

What happens then?

- I drown.

- Really?

- Why do you think that is?

- I don't know. You tell me.

- Maybe you're afraid of winning.

- Why would I be afraid?

You tell me.

What's troubling you, Lincoln?

Well, it's...

It's just...

All right.

Tuesday night is tofu night.

And I'm asking myself, who decided

that everyone here likes tofu

in the first place?

And what is tofu, anyway?

And why can't I have bacon?

I line up every morning,

and I'm not allowed any bacon

for my breakfast.

And...

Let's talk about all the white.

Why is everyone

wearing white all the time?

It's impossible to keep clean.

I always get the gray stripe.

I never get any color.

And I hand it in to be cleaned,

and someone cleans it, and folds it

neatly back in my drawer, but who?

Who is that person? I don't know.

I just... I wanna know answers.

And I wish that there was more.

- More?

- Yeah.

More than just waiting

to go to the Island.

Lincoln,

it's your nature

to question things.

But don't you realize how lucky you are?

That you survived the contamination.

That nature has left you

a Garden of Eden to repopulate.

That, Lincoln, is your purpose.

Right. And you?

Aren't you going to the Island too?

No.

My responsibility is to make sure

this facility continues to operate.

That's why people like me,

my staff and supervisors, we...

...we can't win the lottery.

Let me see that.

You draw well.

"Renovatio."

What does that mean?

I don't know.

It's always in my dream.

I'd like to run some tests

on you, Lincoln.

What sort of tests?

Nice tests.

Come with me.

Take a seat.

OK, let's get you comfortable.

Swing back.

- I thought these were nice tests.

- It's a synaptic brain scan.

Totally harmless.

Don't worry, it's painless.

- It hurts.

- Not really.

- Yeah, it does!

- No, it doesn't.

Yeah, it really, really does!

The micro-sensors

will move along your optic nerve.

They'll be uploading readings

to us over the next 24 hours,

after which,

you'll pass them through your urine.

Now, that might hurt.

Six Echo, you're late.

Jones, you ever get bored doing this?

- Doing what?

- This.

- I never really thought about it.

- I think about it a lot.

- About what?

- This boring job.

- What are we doing here?

- We're feeding the nutrient lines.

We eat food, food's gotta have

vitamins, right? It's good for us.

You don't ever wonder about anything?

Where do these tubes go?

They start there.

And they go... right there.

Hey. Did you get a look
