"One day,

those tits are gonna drop,

you little whore."

- Is that wrong?

- That's funny.

- I could have sworn...

- What?

That I got 100

from the ATM yesterday.

Oh, don't worry

about it. I got this.

Yeah.

No, it's just weird.

I don't know

what I could have done with it.

I don't know

about your little angels,

but mine steals from me

every chance she gets.

- No.

- She's a b*tch.

Does anybody know

what this means?

Anyone? Bueller? No?

It refers to products designed

with a predetermined,

limited life span.

Products that are

literally built to die,

that is, to become unfashionable

or nonfunctional

in a certain amount of time.

- See exhibit A.

- Excuse me.

That's actually

the new one.

You are dexterously

missing my point,

and making it at exactly

the same time.

See, the idea is to manipulate

the consumer...

...to constantly want to buy

- the new one.

- Yeah, duh.

Of course, there's

an argument to be made

in favor of...

What's this? What is it?

- Planned obsolescence.

- Planned obsolescence.

That's right.

Without getting rid of the old,

you might never embrace the new.

The need

to continuously replace,

it forces us

to accelerate progress.

The same thing

can happen in nature.

Hold that thought.

Yep?

Sure.

Pea, you need to go

to the office.

Where was I?

You were saying how we were

the new and improved version

of last year's class.

That's funny.

Oh.

Really?

Yes?

Okay.

I understand.

All right.

Jenson... they need you

in the office, too. I'm sorry.

What's going on?

Chapter 12.

Everyone, let's go. Come on.

Problem?

What's the rush today?

We still have over an hour.

Look at 'em.

Looks like they're waiting

for a buffet.

My mom is such a penis.

She is killing me.

She just won't let go

of that sh*t last weekend.

I'm totally cut off.

No credit, no ATM.

Can't even get any

of my birthday money.

- Can't you ask your dad?

- Nah.

He direct deposits

in my account.

It's not like he can just fly in

and drop me a hundo.

He's in, like, Europe

or something.

I don't know.

F*** that dude.

Besides, I got you, fam.

Seriously, you're not gonna

wash your hands?

Oh.

We are gonna

get f***ed up! F***ed up!

Put that down! Here.

Put it in your bag.

Let's go.

Whoa.

This is not normal. Whoa!

Watch where you're going,

f***ing ham beast!

Come on.

Jesus.

Whoa, Riley,

look at that.

Let me go!

- Is that McKenna's mom?

- Let me go!

No! Get off!

Let me go!

Get off of me!

Soul hurting

Soul hurting

You're finished?

You know there's still

20 minutes left.

Yes, ma'am.

And the score's pretty important

to your future.

I took a lot of practice tests.

Why are the buses here?

This isn't a f***ing bomb scare.

- Come on.

- Back up. Back up.

No, I'm not gonna back up.

We can't send these kids home.

We don't know what's happened!

What are they doing here?

Come on, honey.

Mom's here. Let's go.

Back up! Back up! Back up!

Back up!

- Do you see your mom?

- Yeah, right.

If ISIS dropped a bomb

on this place,

she'd be so stoked.

Come on over.

Evan, let's go.

Evan. Evan.

This is my kid!

You're not gonna tell me what...

- Back up!

- Touch me again, I'll...

Get the f*** back!

Evan. Evan!

Evan, let's go now!

Right now.

Come on. Let's go!

Hold that kid!

No!

Whoa, dude, check it out.

What in the actual f***?

We gotta go.

My car. I drove today.

I told you to f***ing stay back!

Hey, Mrs. Beasley.

Where's Amanda?

She's inside.

Commissioner?

Commissioner?

Look, look, at this time,

the last thing we want to do

is disseminate any information

that may not be accurate,

and compound the problem.

Is it true

that the murderers

and the victims are related?

Can you at least...

Some of that information

may be correct, but...

F***.

Come on, Dad.

Do you have kids, sir?

Do you know where they are?

I do,

and I can assure you,

I intend to see them very soon.

That's not gonna cut it.

We're gonna need

a little bit more than that...

You gotta tell us the truth!

Tell us what's really going...

Dad?

Dad! What... what the f***, man?

Don't...

Please don't do this again!

It's me. It's your son.

It's Damon!

Ain't you had enough

of that sh*t?

Dad.

Put the bottle down.

What the f***?

Dad!

No!

Dad!

No, Dad! No!

I don't know

about your little angels...

Carly?

...but mine steals from me

every chance she gets.

Well, look at you.

Look at you.

- Two kids.

- I know. Ugh, hard to believe.

And you have

- none?

- Can't wrap my head around it.

Look, you either die single,

or you live long enough

to see yourself become a clich.

Stupid.

Ugh. So it's the best, huh?

It is, but they need you less

and less...

and...

that's sort of

why I'm here today.

Remember how you said

if ever I want to get back in...

Oh, Kendall, that was, what,

like, 15 years ago?

Uh, yeah,

that's the "ever" part.

Look,

Kendall, you are always

a rock star to me,

but this isn't something you can

just jump back into.

I get it. You're going crazy,

kids.

Crazy? Wow.

Maybe take some classes.

- Classes?

- Yeah. Something fun.

Tell me.

Oh, my God.

Are you sure?

Okay, okay.

I'll meet you at the hospital.

Yep.

God damn it!

Yeah,

like he's gonna stop.

I don't know. We're supposed

to be in class, aren't we?

World War Z just broke out

at our school. I'm pretty sure

nobody's gonna care

that we left early.

Where's the remote? We gotta

find out what's going on.

Yo, sh*t was

f***ing retarded.

Oh, man. I need to light up.

What we had prayed...

Found it.

...was an isolated incident

is apparently far from it,

as multiple reports

are now coming in

of similar attacks

across the country.

We can hardly believe

what we are reporting to you

based on the videos

that are flooding in,

and we want to warn you,

this footage is very graphic.

F***ing needed that.

- Hey, you want a drink, b*tch?

- Yeah.

I mean, f*** no!

Dude, get in here!

But what we know is this.

- What the f***?

- Multiple incidents

are being reported

of parents attacking...

and, in many cases,

murdering their own children.

Riley!

Mom?

Are you okay?

I spilled my drink.

I'm sure

many viewers are unfamiliar

with a phenomenon

known as "savaging."

It's actually somewhat common

in the animal kingdom.

For instance,

in a domestic pig population,

as anyone involved in raising

livestock will tell you...

Excuse me.

You are talking about pigs?

There are children dying,

and you're talking about pigs.

Well, yes. In fact,

around 50 percent

of the piglet fatalities seen

is due to the mother attacking

or crushing

the newborn pre-weaned babies,

and no one can say

exactly why they do it.

Again, we have

to emphasize, we have no idea

what set off the incidents,

and authorities

have so far refused

to issue any statement.

All we know is what we are...

Riley?

Riley, I swear to God,

if you're messing with me,

I'll kill you.

Hey, kiddo.

Dr. Torres,

please dial...
