Speaker 15 Trained Through the Pain

Speaker 15 Part two

Speaker 15 of three

Speaker 17 How long is it gonna just stay in there?

Speaker 18 Oh, it's totally waiting for us. It knows we're here.
Not all the big ones are dumb.

Speaker 11 If we go for the car and it smashes it like the other, game over.

Speaker 18 All right, all right, all right. So one of us gets the car and the other deals with the muckraker.

Speaker 11 Um, so I'm driving now?

Speaker 18 I mean, you can, right?

Speaker 20 Not too well.

Speaker 17 They-the- they-the- they let me fix them, not really drive them, and it's stick-shift.

Speaker 18 So what now, Will? Do you want to deal with the infected?

Speaker 11 Uh

Speaker 11 what if the car doesn't start?

Speaker 18 Okay, then we're wasting even more time.

Speaker 18 Head around the other side of the street. I'm gonna pull him away.

Speaker 18 You get to the garage when it's clear. With any luck, I'll hit the soft spots in the neck and take it down.

Speaker 18 The last big ones weren't that fast, so hopefully, I can give us enough space and time to loot back. You just gotta get the car started.

Speaker 11 Okay, that's a plan.

Speaker 18 All right, get moving to the corner and wait for me to shoot.

Speaker 11 Got it.

Speaker 11 Breathe.

Speaker 11 Aim

Speaker 11 and pull.

Speaker 11 Damn it.

Speaker 11 This one's thick around the neck, too.

Speaker 11 Follow me, you swamp fucker.

Speaker 11 Come on now.

Speaker 17 Put your hands now.

Speaker 18 It's fucking blocking my shots.

Speaker 17 Hurry up, Will.

Speaker 11 Oh man.

Speaker 17 Okay, we better have enough charge now.

Speaker 11 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 11 Come on.

Speaker 11 You've been charging for hours. Come on.

Speaker 11 It's not the battery.

Speaker 17 Not now.

Speaker 17 You can't focus, Will.

Speaker 11 Focus.

Speaker 11 Ow.

Speaker 11 What is it? What is it?

Speaker 17 It's got to be the starter.

Speaker 17 That's the only thing left. It's got to be the starter.

Speaker 13 Will, it's not working, is it?

Speaker 17 Don't answer that.

Speaker 11 I already know. Come on, stay on me, swamp thing.

Speaker 17 They couldn't take you down before. Is that right? Mean this thing for miles.

Speaker 9 This is your town, isn't it?

Speaker 17 Will, I'm gonna try and circle back around the block.

Speaker 17 Damn it.

Speaker 17 Fuck, fuck, fuck. This was not the right way.

Speaker 11 Oh no.

Speaker 11 Will! I'm trying!

Speaker 11 Nick! Nick!

Speaker 11 I can't get over the fence! Ah, shit! Uh, uh, hide the suburban! What?! That won't help! Just do it!

Speaker 11 Ow!

Speaker 11 Oh, God!

Speaker 7 What do I do?

Speaker 11 What do I do? Uh-uh.

Speaker 17 Uh, uh. Okay, focus focus

Speaker 17 focus will he needs you.

Speaker 20 I have to take it down.

Speaker 11 I have to stop it.

Speaker 17 Oh the monopistol. That's the only thing.

Speaker 11 It has to work. Okay.
Oh

Speaker 17 There's barely any air in the tank. Yeah, enough for maybe one shot, but but but but but I need a ball bearing or or

Speaker 17 there's gotta be something in here.

Speaker 17 Son of a bitch.

Speaker 11 I will not let this be the end of me, motherfucker.

Speaker 11 Got you, finally.

Speaker 11 Oh, oh, oh, no.

Speaker 11 I can't, I can't move.

Speaker 11 I can't move.

Speaker 11 This was a bad idea.

Speaker 11 It's almost there.

Speaker 11 The vaccine is pushing against you! Here!

Speaker 11 On three,

Speaker 11 I try, and then you pull as hard as you can on the chain, okay?

Speaker 11 Three!

Speaker 11 Holy shit! Holy shit!

Speaker 11 Oh my god.

Speaker 9 I was so fucking scared.

Speaker 17 I didn't think I'd be able to get you out. You were wet shit, good.

Speaker 18 The motherfucker.

Speaker 17 Moda pistol.

Speaker 17 Had just enough for one shot left.

Speaker 17 Found a wheel bearing.

Speaker 11 I just didn't think it was gonna work. But

Speaker 11 you were right.

Speaker 18 We should have stopped and fixed that thing up a long time ago.

Speaker 11 Oh man.

Speaker 18 No go on the car.

Speaker 3 The starter isn't turning over.

Speaker 11 I keep trying, but.

Speaker 9 We got more company.

Speaker 11 No!

Speaker 18 Do we- do we run for it? I mean, I mean, that sounds like a lot more than we might be able to handle.

Speaker 11 How far would we even get?

Speaker 11 Let me try one last thing with the car. All right, Will.

Speaker 18 One chance. That's all that we have.

Speaker 18 Man, they must have heard that the territory was up for grabs now that the swamp thing is dead.

Speaker 17 Like, like it was keeping others away?

Speaker 18 Yeah, it makes sense why we haven't seen any others in town.

Speaker 11 Okay, uh,

Speaker 17 get in, turn the key when I say

Speaker 17 you ready

Speaker 11 now

Speaker 17 really? That's your plan? Hitting it, just keep trying again.

Speaker 11 Start, you son of a bitch!

Speaker 17 Holy shit! You did it, you.

Speaker 17 No!

Speaker 17 Ah, come on, give us a break!

Speaker 7 I gotta.

Speaker 9 I gotta.

Speaker 17 Starter food in the carburetor. We gotta go, Will.

Speaker 17 One last try.

Speaker 11 Give us a break.

Speaker 11 Yeah!

Speaker 11 Oh,

Speaker 17 Now keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times

Speaker 17 might need a new paint job now, but listen to that baby.

Speaker 11 Purr.

Speaker 17 Get it, Will.

Speaker 20 Okay, I think I'm gonna be sick.

Speaker 18 Oh, no, no, no. Look, I got this now.
Shit, man, you've done enough, and I cannot believe it, honestly.

Speaker 18 Oh,

Speaker 9 you okay, right?

Speaker 18 They didn't get you or bite you.

Speaker 9 No, no, no.

Speaker 20 Just uh,

Speaker 11 that was a lot.

Speaker 17 Yeah, and it's it's it's it's it's all catching up now.

Speaker 18 Well, you get to sit back, breathe, relax. It's all over now.
We got ourselves a ride. Woo!

Speaker 11 That was crazy. Okay.

Speaker 9 So, where are we going?

Speaker 14 Where's the map?

Speaker 11 Uh,

Speaker 11 well,

Speaker 18 where's the map for the rail line?

Speaker 18 The one that Oliver drew for us.

Speaker 18 Don't don't tell me that.

Speaker 17 It's in the garage. Oh,

Speaker 17 no shit.

Speaker 11 No shit.

Speaker 11 Well,

Speaker 11 we ain't going back

Speaker 19 115 to

Speaker 21 71 to 71 to

Speaker 21 359 to to to to one one oh three east.

Speaker 17 I that that'll take us south to the rail line.

Speaker 21 Wait a minute.

Speaker 14 You remember all of that.

Speaker 17 I stared at the map long enough. Didn't take much to memorize.
Didn't think I'd have to, though.

Speaker 18 You want to write that down so you don't forget?

Speaker 17 I could be wrong, but I'll put together the pieces when we see the roads.

Speaker 18 So I guess maybe you can't sit back and rest then.

Speaker 11 Nope.

Speaker 15 Well, then,

Speaker 18 hopefully, you'll be able to sleep on the train.

Speaker 20 Do you really think that'll be possible?

Speaker 9 Probably not.

Speaker 9 Well,

Speaker 17 we'll rest when we're dead, Nick.

Speaker 11 Rest when we're dead.

Speaker 15 Yeah,

Speaker 16 damn straight.

Speaker 16 And now we continue with Descendants.

Speaker 15 Come on.

Speaker 10 You gonna get that

Speaker 11 Vera

Speaker 11 It's you.

Speaker 7 What's up, Dadio?

Speaker 15 Is Vera awake?

Speaker 21 You want me to check?

Speaker 15 Yes.

Speaker 2 Fine.

Speaker 2 Vera!

Speaker 6 Wake up! Godfather's here.

Speaker 15 Funny.

Speaker 20 Gotta get like somehow locked in this room.

Speaker 24 Training is until 8. Why are you here so early?

Speaker 15 This can't wait.

Speaker 24 If today is any bit like yesterday, I'd be better off getting as much sleep as I can.

Speaker 15 Come with me.

Speaker 24 Is everything okay?

Speaker 15 Yes, we uh just need to do this now.

Speaker 15 I made a promise.

Speaker 20 What is it?

Speaker 15 Just follow me, Vera.

Speaker 20 Fine, don't say whatever.

Speaker 15 Nakoma, you know you can leave, right? Anytime you want.

Speaker 20 I'm working up to it.

Speaker 24 What promise?

Speaker 15 It's now or never.

Speaker 15 You wanted to call home, didn't you?

Speaker 22 I can, but we have to hurry.

Speaker 24 Why such a rush all of a sudden?

Speaker 15 Our window is closing. I have our contact set to receive this and relay to CJ.

Speaker 24 Wait, I thought I was gonna be able to call home.

Speaker 15 You are, but it'll be more like leaving a message.

Speaker 24 That is hardly what you promised.

Speaker 15 If there was any other way, I would. This is all I can do.
You want to talk to her or not?

Speaker 24 I do.

Speaker 15 Then have a seat. This will take a second.

Speaker 24 You need your ring for this?

Speaker 15 It gives me access to send encoded messages. The ring is also the cipher key.

Speaker 24 Those are a lot fancier than I thought.

Speaker 15 Yeah, we'll either keep up with the times or end up getting buried in the past. We don't have much time.
Would you enter the Mullins code from the book?

Speaker 11 Oh, um, sure.

Speaker 15 Yeah, a lot faster than my hunting and pecking.

Speaker 24 Westport officers have to do a lot of typing. What can I say?

Speaker 15 It's ready.

Speaker 24 This Mike?

Speaker 15 Yes, and be careful what you say nothing about where we are or any of this.

Speaker 24 I understand.

Speaker 15 And try to be gentle with what you tell her. I know your mom tends to overreact.

Speaker 11 Oh, do you?

Speaker 15 And you can explain you're with me. Got it.
And maybe how that's been.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 15 And if it comes up that I had no choice to leave.

Speaker 24 You sure you don't want to talk to her?

Speaker 11 Yo, I'm sure.

Speaker 15 It's recording.

Speaker 24 Oh, geez, already. Uh.

Speaker 24 Hi, Mama.

Speaker 11 Um,

Speaker 24 I'm safe. I want you to know that.
At least, now I am.

Speaker 24 After we left, we were captured and taken to Prim, a slaver city on the Nevada border.

Speaker 24 It's an awful place. They gamble on people fighting against infected.
If you can do anything about it, please. But I know you have your hands full.

Speaker 24 You may already know all this, but Nick said Bert and the others were flying home, and Alex is probably with them, so he'd be able to give you more details.

Speaker 11 Um,

Speaker 24 we did lose a lot of the other guardians. Some at the crash site, and one in the arena.

Speaker 24 Lisa Grant, if you can let her dad know.

Speaker 11 Um, Nick! Nick!

Speaker 24 He's okay too. He knows about Michael, and he's trying to get back to Peggs.
Although we are a long way from her.

Speaker 11 What?

Speaker 24 That doesn't give our location away.

Speaker 24 I uh

Speaker 24 actually got to meet someone.

Speaker 24 We were brought together.

Speaker 24 Don't know if you're gonna be mad or or happy about this,

Speaker 24 but

Speaker 24 I met Oliver.

Speaker 24 I know who that is now.

Speaker 11 You told her your real name, right?

Speaker 15 Yes, I did. Just tell her how much you care about her and you'll be home soon.

Speaker 11 Can I tell her about what I'm doing?

Speaker 15 No, not really.

Speaker 11 Oh, can I just start over?

Speaker 15 It's transmitting now. You can't.

Speaker 11 Ugh, thanks for the warning.

Speaker 24 Um

Speaker 11 there's a lot I'm gonna tell you once I get home.

Speaker 24 So many things that I can't now.

Speaker 24 But

Speaker 19 I think I would make you proud.

Speaker 24 I love you so much, Mama.

Speaker 24 And the minute I can be there, I will be.

Speaker 15 We got about 45 seconds left.

Speaker 24 And now Oliver wants to talk to you.

Speaker 13 What?

Speaker 11 No, I don't.

Speaker 24 In case you don't believe me, Dad?

Speaker 24 Dad!

Speaker 11 Hi, CJ.

Speaker 15 Vera is here.

Speaker 15 She's with me.

Speaker 11 And

Speaker 15 what am I supposed to say? This is your call.

Speaker 24 I said my piece.

Speaker 11 Your turn. What?

Speaker 24 He has a lot to say to you. 17 years and 30 seconds, you better start talking.

Speaker 11 Yum.

Speaker 11 Hi.

Speaker 24 You think with all your expertise you could handle something like this? Talk to her.

Speaker 11 So,

Speaker 16 Vera is great.

Speaker 15 I can see a lot of you and her.

Speaker 15 You should be very proud.

Speaker 15 I just. Um.

Speaker 24 What have you always wanted to tell CJ? It's now or never.

Speaker 24 Um.

Speaker 15 What can I say?

Speaker 15 The last few days have reminded me of what it would have been like to have stayed behind with you and Vera.

Speaker 11 It was impossible to let go.

Speaker 11 So

Speaker 15 I hope you forgive me.

Speaker 15 I've done whatever I could to try and still be a part of your lives, even if it had to be from a distance.

Speaker 15 The choices I've made have never been easy.

Speaker 15 Many loaded with regret.

Speaker 15 But I'd never go back and change our time together.

Speaker 15 Meeting our daughter now

Speaker 15 and seeing the kind of person she is.

Speaker 15 You are every bit of the parent I wish I could be.

Speaker 15 Out of all the things I've had to go through

Speaker 15 and all the kinds of people I've met,

Speaker 15 nothing would ever prepare me for

Speaker 11 meeting you.

Speaker 11 I miss you, CJ.

Speaker 11 And that's it.

Speaker 15 Way to lay it all out there.

Speaker 11 I'm glad you did.

Speaker 24 For me to hear, anyway.

Speaker 24 You really miss her?

Speaker 15 All the truth.

Speaker 15 There was a time when I didn't want the life that led me back here.

Speaker 15 When I was with her, I wanted to be a part of what she was building.

Speaker 24 Maybe she'll know that now.

Speaker 15 Yeah, let's just see if this message goes over well, or if I'm gonna end up with a bunch of Westport Guardians hunting me down for the rest of my days. Do you know CJ, after all?

Speaker 11 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 24 Why was there such a rush on this? We could have sent a transmission at any time, it seems like.

Speaker 15 No, not exactly. To upload something as big as an audio file, we had to make special arrangements.

Speaker 15 And sending something intended for Westport, of all places, it was better out of the purview of others.

Speaker 24 Like who?

Speaker 15 Well, you may not have noticed, but after you arrived, other members have returned to assist or oversee your initiation. And a few are still on their way.

Speaker 15 Some of these members of the family are not very fond of Westport, because of our past dealings, and how some of our secrets were published.

Speaker 24 In where?

Speaker 24 Oh, in the story of survival? The family is talked about in there?

Speaker 15 Well, it's subtle, but enough.

Speaker 15 Why I was hesitant to make the promise in the first place. But I'm a man of my word.

Speaker 24 Are any of those members here now the ones who don't like Westport?

Speaker 24 That's why you were watching me with Vincent. You don't trust him either.

Speaker 15 He was gone for quite a while, and his connections in the family run deep. There's a lot of questions that remain unanswered.
But that's for me to worry about, not you.

Speaker 24 What if I helped?

Speaker 24 Maybe you don't have to do all of this alone anymore.

Speaker 15 Well, I'm glad to hear it. For now, you need to focus on your initiation.
That's going to be difficult enough as it is.

Speaker 24 Are you sure?

Speaker 15 Let me be your father for once and protect you from this. It's better for you to stay unbiased and on course.

Speaker 15 Speaking of, you need to get upstairs and get ready. You have another full day ahead of you.

Speaker 24 No chance in taking the morning off. You got me up early.

Speaker 15 Not really.

Speaker 15 Now, go on. Breakfast starts in ten minutes.
You better not be late.

Speaker 24 If I have to.

Speaker 15 You march up to your bedroom right now, young lady.

Speaker 24 Fine, Dad. I'll go get ready for school.

Speaker 7 What was that all about?

Speaker 24 It's nothing.

Speaker 20 It doesn't seem like nothing.

Speaker 11 What's going on?

Speaker 19 I need to get ready.

Speaker 20 Something doesn't feel right, does it?

Speaker 11 It's...

Speaker 24 not that. I just...
I need to get downstairs.

Speaker 20 Alright, don't tell me.

Speaker 13 But you know something's up.

Speaker 20 There's no way this family is telling you everything, even your pops.

Speaker 24 He just wants me to focus on my training.

Speaker 20 Yeah, I don't think that's what's going on.

Speaker 24 I think I don't want to talk about this right now with you.

Speaker 20 You forget I'm the only one here who doesn't bite into their bullshit. You need to start thinking of how you are going going to get out of this place before you're in too deep.

Speaker 24 What if I don't want that? You might not now.

Speaker 7 But later.

Speaker 11 I'm good.

Speaker 24 Thanks.

Speaker 2 Fine.

Speaker 2 Whatever.

Speaker 20 I guess it's just some things you're better off finding out for yourself.

Speaker 11 You're right.

Speaker 11 You're absolutely right.

Speaker 20 So, you change your mind?

Speaker 24 No, but some things are better off if I find them out myself. What does that mean? I'll bring you breakfast when I can or have someone send it up.

Speaker 11 Oh, gee, thanks.

Speaker 24 I appreciate you trying to help, but I have this handled.

Speaker 20 Alright, that's what you want. I'll keep milking this free room and board.

Speaker 20 Good luck today with whatever it is you won't tell me.

Speaker 24 Thanks.

Speaker 24 I'll need it.

Speaker 24 I'm gonna get him to talk. Whether he wants to

Speaker 7 or not.

Speaker 11 Wait.

Speaker 18 What do you say?

Speaker 11 Who?

Speaker 11 Vera!

Speaker 11 Who?
