Uhm-I don't know what that is.

Oh, we celebrate

medieval life...

You know, jousting

matches and festivals.

Don't take this the wrong way

or anything,

but I'm not really

that into jousting.

You can-you can

give it a try.

- I'm really busy as it is.

- How so?

I have a lot of family

responsibilities.

Go on...

And she's volunteering

at the hospital with me.

Yeah! I'm volunteering

at the hospital.

I see.

I thought you were

the unusual type.

But I can see that I was wrong.

I hate being around

sick people.

But, it's going to look so good

on my college application.

So it's worth it.

And if I don't

get into Harvard or Stanford,

my father is just

going to kill me.

He's head of T Division.

- T Division?

- Theoretical.

He's the one who thinks

brilliant thoughts.

You have a lot to learn about

Los Alamos, missy.

Guess so.

Oh, "103." That's you.

Good luck.

I've been waiting for you.

You've been waiting for me?

Any pretty girl.

I am just here

to refill your water.

Look at this.

My son brought it to me

from California.

- Silly, isn't it?

- Yeah.

Willie Ortiz.

Davey Wexler.

It's my first day

as a volunteer.

You like it?

- It's yours.

- No... I couldn't.

Besides, I don't think

we're allowed

to take things from patients.

I'll tell you what.

I'm not going to be here

very long.

And when I'm gone,

I want you to have it.

Don't be sad.

I'll uh, I'll see you

next week, okay?

Next week.

Go do something

that will make you happy.

Watch me first.

Okay, now you try.

Use your legs for strength.

Next step.

Excellent.

You gotta believe you can do it.

Don't be afraid.

Okay, take the next step.

I got you.

I knew you could do it.

See the black carving?

That's from their fires.

Over 800 years old.

Wow.

- A cave with a view.

- Yeah.

You can see why the

Tiwa people lived up here.

Pretty good vantage point, huh?

I wouldn't mind living here.

I'd bring my little brother.

And my cat.

My cat would love to

chase those.

When Winter comes, all the

lizards will disappear.

You won't see them again

until Spring.

Then they'll lay out

on the rocks,

soaking up all the sun.

Like me.

You disappear in Winter?

I might.

When I was young...

I used to climb here

all the time with my father.

I hope it never changes.

Everything changes.

Hey, Mom.

Mom.

You have to stop taking these.

Did you hear me?!

You need to stop taking these!

Yeah, I have to stop

taking them.

Can you please get up?

We need you.

I'm not the person

I was before.

Before Adam.

Good... That's great.

She'll never get out of bed

if you keep

bringing food to her.

You know, you're turning

her into a zombie.

Who's a zombie?
