I cannot wait
to see the look on everyone's faces when they see us
return with the target.
Maximus.
This stinky old head's mine now!
You don't think it's weird that we always elect an overseer from Vault 31?
Some of us will be moving into Vault 32
to start anew.
They killed my husband.
If your father were here, he-- he'd do the right thing.
I'm telling you, radicalism is sweeping through Hollywood.
You should come to a meeting.
You should learn the truth about where your wife works.
Mr. Howard?
I'm a big fan.
Welcome to Vault 4. Stay out of Level 12.
Where do you guys get your power from?
I see you've found our fusion core.
Sandra, we're home.
Sandra?
Thank you, darling.
Oh, wait.
You thought...?
Come on, now.
Sandra, wait outside.
Lead farming, huh?
Why, hell, I probably still got some of your lead in me somewhere.
But today...
...I'm just looking for information.
I'll tell you anything,
as long as you leave us in peace.
Say, am I out of date,
or did I hear you had three kids?
I had an older son, but he's gone.
He took up with that madwoman in the hills two years ago.
We haven't heard from him since.
Hmm.
There's always some new little faction, ain't there?
Brand-new team of believers with their own dumbass ideas
about how they gonna save the world.
What did you say the name of your eldest was?
Was it Roofus?
- I didn't say-- - That must make you Tommy.
What did you do?
- What is that envelope? Well, you see, daddy-o...
now, from what I can tell...
...Old Roofus got Tommy here mixed up with that madwoman, too.
Now, according to this,
Roofus sent Tommy a stash of caps to pay a courier
for "the safe transport of an Enclave defector"
to that very same madwoman in the hills.
Moldaver.
But my problem is,
by the time I got this letter off your brother,
it was a little bit hard to read.
For some reason, I just can't make out her location.
Now, you give me that location,
and I'll be on my way.
I'm sorry.
Tell him, son.
Just tell him.
I didn't want to spend my life digging through dirt.
I want to build something, and we have the chance--
Tell him what he wants to know!
Or else he's gonna kill us all!
Including your little sister.
Huh.
She's...
she's at the Observatory.
Now, please, leave us.
So, what you think, Tommy?
Am I really walking out of here today, or are you gonna try and draw on me
for what I did to your big brother?
- He won't. Maybe not today,
but maybe someday.
Tommy!
What is it about California,
that we all came to this place?
Maybe it's the sunshine.
Maybe it's the friendly people.
When you think of the promise of the American Dream,
you think of California.
But it is just a dream. It's not real.
We were told the atom bomb meant the end of war.
That didn't work out, did it?
We were told America's always getting better,
it's always moving toward a better future.
But the future is getting closer, and we can see it.
Their "better future" is a cliff's edge.
And it's coming up fast, isn't it?
- These soldiers that we're fighting abroad,
their families, we have more in common with them
than we do with the people here in power, the real enemy.
That's about all the horseshit I can take.
Coop. Coop, come on.
- Mr. Howard?
- I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
I said that, um...
this is about all the horseshit I can take.
- I didn't realize that America's favorite gunslinger
- was so sensitive.
I have my principles, Miss Williams, that's all.
Uh-huh. And those principles of yours...
how much did Vault-Tec pay to take them off your hands?
Well, this is America.
Everybody has a sponsor,
and, uh, I'm not ashamed to earn a living.
Vault-Tec is the largest company in America.
There's a lot of money in selling the end of the world.
Well, I'm sure there's a lot of money in selling a political ideology
- that ends in breadlines. Fascist.
Okay, uh, sorry, this was a mistake. We'll be leaving.
Oh, no, I'm-I'm quite glad you brought Mr. Howard today.
You see, it happens
that I know your wife.
And perhaps a side of her you don't.
How do you know my wife?
My research company was acquired by her division.
We were developing this kind of technology that's... difficult to monetize.
Cold fusion. Infinite energy.
That's what I was on the verge of achieving
when Vault-Tec swept in and bought up every company I'd ever worked for.
Every one of them?
So, what are you, a millionaire communist?
Hypocrisy is like violence in your movies.
If you only let the bad guys use it, the bad guys win.
Yeah? I, uh, I got a little showbiz secret for you.
A good bad guy doesn't see themselves as the bad guy.
America has been locked in a resource war for over a decade.
Vault-Tec bought the means to end that war,
the same war you fought in, so they could put it on the shelf.
All because it didn't fit into their business model.
I want your help in getting it back.
What is it? - It's a listening device.
A listening device. You...
you want me to spy on my wife?
- Good luck with the revolution. - You can keep it.
As a token.
I'm not a communist, Mr. Howard.
That's just a dirty word they use to describe people who aren't insane.
We let you into our home.
Tended to your wounds, gave you food and water.
But you had to go to Level 12.
I saw what you were doing to those poor women.
You're experimenting on them. It's... it's sick.
- She needs to see the holotape.
All right. Play the tape.
Okay.
What is this?
- Your history. Overseer Hawthorne,
final log entry.
At this point, it would be irrational of me
not to acknowledge that these may be
- my last words.
But despite our results here,
I want to reiterate that a society governed by scientists
- Honey! Hey! - really is the ideal social structure.
What happened here should not be used as a case study
for what happens when scientists are given unregulated control.
- Lloyd, gimme a little help! - And-and--
and-and hybridizing humans
with radioactive-resistant species still has potential.
Our test subjects were
less compliant than we expected.
- Cassandra! Oh, no!
- No, no, no!
No!
Sorry, I haven't, uh,
seen that footage in a long time.
But it's a stirring reminder
of what this place is all about.
I-I don't understand, I...
In the lab, I-I saw your doctors--
Trying to ease the pain of the poor souls
your people lured into this place.
His ancestors were used as lab rats
by the original residents of Vault 4.
- Until the lab rats rebelled. The, uh,
creature in the video was actually my Great-Uncle Peter on my mom's side.
I'm so sorry.
I...
I had no idea the original vault dwellers here were so... so weird.
I mean, my vault's not like this.
What was the experiment in 33?
W-Well, there is no experiment.
Your ignorance cannot excuse your cruelty.
You have infected our home with violence
and now you must pay the price.
No!
Please. Please, I'm a good person.

Okay, I got to reevaluate here.

This fucking stupid thing. Oh, you want this too, huh?
Everybody wants this. Guess what? It's mine.
You think everything's for you.
It's pretty selfish, actually, you know that?

It's always something.
Okay.
Oh, hell yeah.
You can't eat this.
You know what?
Oh, yeah, this is great.
Lot of space.
You're a loose cannon, all right?
This is a very important mission and I can't have you jeopardizing it.
It's bigger than you. It's bigger than all of us.
- Great.
Oh, see? You got a little window and everything.
You'll be fine.
You can breathe in there, right?
All right, got a radio tower to find.
Got to contact the Brotherhood, get them this head,
- and get me some glory.
We are all survivors here.
- Lucky enough to have found
this sanctum of peace.
Of tolerance.
It doesn't matter
- where you come from or what you believe.
You deserve safety.
Unless...
...you threaten that peace.
For causing harm
to a fellow survivor,
you are hereby sentenced to death...
...by banishment to the surface!
It's almost there.
Need to get that sharpened, please.
Yeah!
You're just... letting me go?
Well, that's certainly an optimistic perspective.
You'll be killed almost immediately on the surface
by Lord knows what.
That's why we're giving you two weeks of supplies to take with you.
- Thank you, Cathy. Sure.
After that, you are on your own, Goosey.
Uh...
That's, uh...
That's... really nice of you guys.
Okay, and now it is time
to be moving along.
Can I just ask you one thing?
Obviously, someone will carry the supplies to the surface for you.
My friend really likes it here.
And he's a good person.
He deserves to be somewhere nice and safe,
like this.
I know that I'm not really
in the position to be asking favors. But...
...can he stay?

- Somebody maybe check on him.
What?
We stole their fusion core.
Well, yeah, but...
You know, I needed it for the armor.
Well, without their fusion core, their auxiliary power
will only last a few days, and...
and then what?
No... No.
- Yes. - No.
Giving it back is the right thing to do.
Without the fusion core, this armor is useless.
I can't be a knight.
Well...
you can't be a knight by stealing from people either.
Yeah, but I can help people with this armor.
- All right?
You, for example. I want to help you.
You really want give them their fusion core back
if it means you don't get your dad?
If my dad found out that I destroyed an entire community
to save him...
...that'd break his heart.
I can't.
Come on.
Thank you!
Thinking 'bout those oysters?
Mm-hmm.
We don't have oysters in my vault.
We have canned tuna.
But if you like oysters,
I'm pretty sure you'll like canned tuna.
I was supposed to marry a stranger from another vault.
It didn't turn out so good.
I don't have the best luck when it comes to strangers.
But...
Titus...
I can honestly say
you are the best stranger
that I've ever met.
You're a good person, Titus.
And if you wanted to,
when all of this is over, you could come
and live with us in Vault 33.
With me.
There's something I should tell you.
Just say yes.
My name isn't Titus. It's Maximus.
Titus is the name of the knight who owned this suit before me.
He was threatening me, so instead of helping him I watched him die.
And I took his armor and I lied to you.
So, all that stuff you were saying, you know, about, um,
about me being a good person...
I just threw acid in an innocent man's face.
And I've only been up here two weeks.
The wasteland sucks.
Yeah. Sometimes.
Do you want to come live with me in my vault?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Let's go find that head.
Hey-yo, this Is DJ Carl at KPSS,
broadcasting from the base of the once-beautiful Hollywood Hills.
Like most weeks here at KPSS, this week is fiddle week,
when all of my airtime will be spent luxuriating
in my small but mighty collection of fiddle tunes.
So, I'd encourage you to sit back
and enjoy the folksy, gutsy sound
of bygone fiddlers.
And, if you don't like what you hear,
just a reminder that I don't take visitors at the station.
A simple postcard will suffice. That said, enjoy the fiddling.
- Excuse me! - Aah!
Don't kill me. I'm a doctor. I can help you.
Haven't run into many people traveling with a human head.
Oh, this? It's not-- It's nothing really, it's more of a...
I have to-- It's a souvenir kind of thing.
Oh, yeah?
Welcome to my humble pharmacy.
Have a seat, my dear boy,
and let's take a look at that
tattered tootsy of yours.
Oh...
Oh.
I've seen this condition before.
Uh, someone stepped on my foot.
Yes. Sometimes fatal.
But you're in luck, 'cause I've got the cure.
I have, in my possession, serums and potions
for every malady and misfortune
that could possibly beset
a wandering traveler such as yourself.
What's stopping me from just killing you
and taking your whole thing of drugs?
Well, when it comes to serums,
not many people know the difference
between the noxious and the benign.
A murky hue of green could aid the humors.
A brackish tint of shamrock, and...
That's the sound of your lower intestine
falling right the fuck out.
But which is which?
- Which is which-- - Fine.
- Just give me the right one. - Okay.
Before we start, there's the small matter of my fee.
I don't have caps, but...
Oh, my.
- Is-is that a... - Fusion core?
You don't see those around much anymore, do you?
But, if you do want to survive...
...not a bad trade.
Okay, here.
Okay, let's get started.
This elixir I have concocted heals all.
And I mean everything.
But I must warn you, the taste: not great.
- Just give it. - Okay.
I'm sorry!
But the results...
Yes? The results.
Holy shit. Holy shit!
Ah, thank you.
- Sure thing, buddy boy. - Ah...
Do you know where I can find a radio tower?
I have to make contact with my base.
Yes, I believe there's one yonward.
Past the big crater in the middle of the Shithole.
It's near a town that used to be called Shady Sands.
Shady Sands?
That place is radioactive as hell.
Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore, do you, buddy boy?
Toodles and anon.

Get off of me!
I wouldn't--- I wouldn't do something like that!
Ugh. More death.
I wish it would end.
What did I tell you, Norman?
Words have meaning.
People are gonna be upset when they hear about this.
People like to have something to fuss about.
Oh, fuck.
- Oh...
Yes.
Oh, hi, Norm.
Oh, it-it's just terrible
about the raiders, isn't it?
Don't be too long.
I'm holding the baby, so you have to pack everything.
We'll miss you, Norm.
Hmm.
You're going too?
Yeah.
Steph and I were given a starter home unit.
Just the three of us.
Oh.
So you're just gonna forget about everything we've seen?
I feel like this is a good moment for a fresh start.
You think so?
Someone obviously does.
Chet.
You're a coward.
You know that, Chet?
We all are, Norm.
That's why we live in a vault.
All right.
Let's go find your daddy.

I've got three hot cocoas on deck,
two marshmallow, one plain.
Three? You have one for me?
- Yeah. - Okay.
I'll be out there in just a minute.
Okay.
Got your hot cocoa, sweet pea.
If you'd like, you can have the marshmallows
off of the top of mine.
Where's Daddy?
He'll be out in a minute.
- What've you got there?
You're right, Roosevelt.
What are you thinking?
Lloyd and Cassandra here are both scientists,
specializing in the effects of radiation on human DNA.
That's right, and we'll be living and working
right here in Vault 4, leading a community
governed entirely by scientists.
Well, I may be a hero in the movies,
but you all are heroes in real life.
No dogs in the vault, huh?
I'm sorry, Dogmeat, but you ain't him.
Yeah, my, uh, ride should be getting here any minute.
Thanks again for letting me use your radio. That was really nice.
Nah, no problem.
So, you were saying earlier that some people,
they don't, uh, like the sound of this music, really?
Oh, people get fully mad.
- Oh. - The thing no one appreciates is
these are the original recordings.
Oh. Uh-huh.
You can't get that warm sound anymore.
You know, the bass, the treble,
the mids.
Oh, that--
Right, yeah. Oh.
Here.
Oh, that-- Okay, yeah.
That's the, uh, that's mids, right?
- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
Wow, that's really got that
- Yeah. - thing on it.
Well, it's not on it, it's in it.
Oh, yeah, I like it. A lot, yeah.
Some people, they're just so ignorant to music,
it's kind of sad, I would say.
- Totally. - Yep.
Great job on these booby traps, by the way.
Really good.
Hey, thanks.
Yeah.
That one's crazy.
Critics.
Yeah.
People just, uh, can't be nice.
Hey, is this your ride?
Huh?
Oh, shit.
Guess not. Okay.
Mm.
God, I suck without a scope.
We just want the head.
Who are you?
I’m the person who cut it off.
Okay, um...
Uh...
Oh...
Why am I not dead?
Uh, I-- I-I wouldn’t do that.
Well, I’m not just gonna leave it there.
Oh.
- Oh. Oh! - No.
Oh...
- Uh...
Uh...
Thaddeus.
I-I think you might be a ghoul.
Oh, no.
Aw.
I’m so stupid. I should've never trusted
a doctor that smelled like that.
Oh, boy.
The Brotherhood.
Oh, fuck.
Shit.
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck.
- They’ll kill me if they find out. - What?
This-this is good, no? The Brotherhood is the good guys?
Uh, it’s a complicated organization.
- Thaddeus, give me the head. - Huh?
I’ll slow them down. You’ll have time to run.
You’d do that for me?
Give it to me.
Oh, thank you.
Uh, I’m sorry about...
a lot of things and I didn’t mean for...
Okay. Ni-Nice meeting you. Bye.
- What are you doing?
If they want a head, I’m gonna give them a head.
Find your dad.
- Go home. That’s what I want for you. - No.

They’re never gonna stop looking for the artifact.

And now
we say goodbye to all those
who are leaving us for Vault 32.
Each of them have been chosen for their agreeability,
stick-to-itiveness,

that make for a successful pioneer.
- And, of course, every vault... - I'm not going.

And of course, every vault needs an overseer.
Which is why I have conferred with the high council.
