LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The beloved fictional character Ghoul from the renowned video game series 'Fallout' is brought to life in the latest Prime Video series.

The character, played by Walton Goggins, appeared briefly in the pilot episode. However, in Episode 2, The Ghoul is depicted in full glory, taking bullets and returning fire while in pursuit of a wanted man.

The Ghoul encounters Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), the protagonist of the series, introducing a whole new dimension of dangers and twists.

In 'Fallout' Episode 2, Lucy arrives in a small town named Filly in search of her father where she encounters Wilzig (Michael Emerson), the same mystery man she met the night before.

The events soon turn violent as The Ghoul targets Wilzig, a wanted man with a hefty prize on him. As violence erupts in town, Lucy confronts The Ghoul, demanding an end to his assaults.

Agitated by her interference, The Ghoul shoots at Lucy. Fortunately, Maximus (Aaron Moten), equipped with power armor, arrives just in time to save her.

As Maximus confronts The Ghoul, Lucy receives crucial information from the lady shopkeeper. To find her father, she must escort Wilzig to the specified coordinates as directed.

Though Lucy is unable to crack the connection, she takes up the job and escorts Wilzig, whose left leg is now amputated due to The Ghoul's attack.

Meanwhile, The Ghoul launches a brutal attack on Maximus, causing his armor to malfunction

Despite Lucy's temporary respite from The Ghoul's threats, she is far from being truly liberated. Ghoul has revived Wilzig's dog, which will track down its rightful owner, inevitably leading The Ghoul straight to Lucy. 

As The Ghoul remains determined to capture Wilzig and claim the prize money, Lucy must confront him to deliver Wilzig, gaining leverage over Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury) and ultimately saving her father.

As an immortal entity, The Ghoul poses a formidable challenge to defeat. Lucy, still new to the surface of the Earth and unaware of its potential dangers must fight not only for her survival but also for that of her father and their safe return to the vault.

In the next episodes, we can expect The Ghoul to catch up with Lucy. But the question remains- how will she fight him the immortal creature?

Will Maximus find his way back to Lucy and save her? The adventure awaits in the next episodes, now releasing on Prime Video.
