He's so angry.

He's drinking all the time.

He's always stoned.

He's getting the sh*t end

of the stick, bell.

I mean not you, not me.

If you and I are just

destined to be together

I just want to get there.

Do you understand that?

I just, I want to move on.

Wow.

Thank you for the romance.

I've always fantasized

about the day my dream girl

would settle for me

because she just

wants to move on.

Dillon, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it like that.

Don't be sorry to me, okay?

Be sorry to Scott.

The reason he's pissed

is because he loves you.

So, maybe you should

try comforting him.

I'm sorry, Dillon, I--

[door closes]

This probably isn't very good

for the success of this doc,

but who cares, right?

Belfast is safe.

People are safe.

Doomsday fear

is a thing of the past.

Now, we've got to figure out

how to put ourselves

back together.

But I think we're going

to wait until the night's over.

Cheers.

There's my car.

I haven't been

the best documentarian.

Before the belfast party

last week

I hadn't turned on

the camera for months.

I don't really speak

to Scott or bell anymore.

Scott says hello

when we pass in the halls

and bell smiled and waved

the other day when I was

on my way to the pool.

But as for being friends,

that seems to be over.

I don't know.

Things are going good

for them though.

Scott put in his 30-day notice

and I saw a ring

on bell's finger.

So, two and two

equals four, right?

As for the rest of the world,

I can't say

it's been that easy.

It seems like every day

I learn something else

that I didn't realize

could be

affected by the prints.

Here's a montage of things

I stole off the web.

Belfast is fine.

In fact,

the town has been invigorated

by a kind of new hope.

Elsewhere,

we found quite

a different story

as much work remains

to pick up the pieces

of a world broken

by false expectations.

I don't think lives

were spared.

I don't think belfast

was ever in any danger.

In Pakistan,

they're reporting

37% unemployment

and 100,000 dead

and the main cause is cholera.

Cholera?

You and your group believe

that the belfast track

was planted in the technology

by the American government.

Yes, sir.

No, please.

In Brazil,

there are no imports

or exports.

They're reporting 22%

unemployment and untold dead.

We assume that number

to be big,

but there's no way of knowing

because there's no press

getting in

or out of the country.

This one can't be blamed

on wall street.

I mean people

made rash decisions

because they literally

thought they knew the future.

Data can be analyzed

countless ways and each way

poses the possibility

of a new hypothesis.

It took over a year

in legal mire for ltl

to even be allowed

to release this technology

and then months and months

before they were free

to release the death dates.

And then the government

just gives up.

Can you tell me why

not a single female

under the age of 14

who has had their print read

is predicted to ever

have a child?

Some have tried

to build new lives,

others have attempted

to rebuild their old lives.

Steven Carter and countless

others have simply decided

to end it.

Some are going

as far as to say

that these sad cases

are not suicide,

but cold-hearted recklessness

at the hands

of Richard hutchensen.

I think that rocko hutchensen

got exactly what he deserved.

Last time we met,

we'd talked about a broken bone

in your childhood.

You remember that?

Sure.

Well, I probably owe you

partial credit for this.

I sought out all trial

patients who had predicted

levels of bone mending cells.

One gentleman

had a print that said

he would be injured

in a few weeks.

Now, just to be safe

we surrounded him

with a rotating deluge

of interns to watch over him

for a whole week

just in case

the print was off a little bit.

Now, a person

can break a bone

just standing up.

So, we literally made him

comfortable in his own bed

and took care

of all of his needs.

A week of reading

and watching movies

he actually thought

it was relaxing.

So, you were able

to prove it wrong?

Mr. Marshall

lives on a residential street

at the end of a t-intersection.

At 3:
00 on the fourth day

of our test a kid

paying too much attention

to his cellphone blows through

a stop sign

and slams into

Mr. Marshall's house.

Let me guess.

He broke a bone?

He suffered a broken ulna

and three small bones

in his right hand.

That means ltl was able

to predict the car accident?

It predicted

that he would break bones,

but how many other things

went into that prediction?

If he hadn't been

part of our study

been home in bed

at 3:
00 in the afternoon.

So, his DNA essentially

had already factored in

that he'd be part of your test?

Hmm, who knows?

Maybe.

Maybe he would have

broken a bone some other way.

Maybe he wouldn't have

broken any bones at all

and we set up

some terrible coincidence.

I'm only calling because

I thought you deserved to know.

Are you sure it's mine?

Yes, I did it on purpose,

Dillon.

Are you saying you set me up?

That really sounds bad.

Yeah, it does.

When are you due?

Three weeks.

I just don't understand.

You planned this.

I knew who you were

because of your [Indistinct]

When you called about an

interview for your doc

I did some research.

I couldn't believe

that my print

matched up with yours.

When I learned you were

a chosen it just made sense

to make our baby

with a chosen too.

And through it I could

still somehow live on.

Is it a boy or a girl?

A boy.

I mean what were

you going to do?

Just leave him on my doorstep

the night before doomsday?

I don't even know.

I even had his print

done in utero.

I don't know

what I'm supposed to say or do.

Look, if you want to be

a part of his life you can be.

If not, that is fine too.

You know I could probably

even be convinced to

give him up for adoption.

I'm going to need some time,

okay?

You know,

to wrap my head around this.

I understand.

I'll call you.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Bye.

[Whistling]

Hey, what's up?

You going out for doomsday?

No, I was planning on

watching the festivities on TV.

Ugh, boring.

I want you to come out

with us tonight.

We're going to this place

called the warehouse downtown.

Zack's got a gig there.

Um, uh...

No rush.

We're leaving in a few hours.

It's going to be me, bell,

Drake, Jay, Ellie,

the whole crew

and well hopefully you.

This is sort of

out of the blue.

Yeah.

I figured tonight was kind of

the obvious time

to start over, you know?

And I come with

a peace offering.

I got five of them at my job.

They're corporate advertising

bribes,

but they're pretty impressive

little b*tches.

I thought maybe

you could use it

to shoot some stuff

as a button for the doc.

The life tracker doc.

Oh, yeah.

I sort of stopped

working on that.

Yeah, I hear

you got a job

at red and tan productions.

They're keeping me

pretty busy.

That's great.
