Speaker 2 It was the new game day scratchers from the California Lottery.

Speaker 11 Bloodborne

Speaker 19 Part two

Speaker 18 of two

Speaker 19 I'm sorry, Nick.

Speaker 7 He died.

Speaker 20 He

Speaker 2 He what?

Speaker 7 Oh,

Speaker 3 damn.

Speaker 7 I'm... I'm so sorry, Nick.

Speaker 21 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 14 You got that all wrong. He can't be...
He can't be dead.

Speaker 20 Look, when I left, he was being a jerk, but he was fine. He was safe in Westport.

Speaker 7 That's where it happened.

Speaker 19 Vera didn't tell you?

Speaker 20 Wait, what?

Speaker 20 You knew there?

Speaker 7 Nick,

Speaker 22 I didn't know all the details.

Speaker 20 Then what did you know?

Speaker 22 That he was attacked and he was going into surgery, but that's all.

Speaker 23 Oh, fuck! But you knew?

Speaker 20 How long have you fucking known?

Speaker 22 You have to understand.

Speaker 22 I wanted to protect you. There was nothing we could do.
Dean told me very little over the radio when we were on our way to Cordova Street, and I thought we'd be back way before.

Speaker 20 Helicopter crash site you've known since then?

Speaker 22 You don't know how badly I wanted to tell you. At every moment.
I just couldn't. There wasn't a good time, and it kept getting harder, too.

Speaker 7 Who did it?

Speaker 20 Who killed Michael?

Speaker 9 I don't know.

Speaker 20 What about you?

Speaker 20 There is dad, Oliver, since you know damn near everything.

Speaker 19 We don't know either.

Speaker 20 Well, fuck it. Somebody better tell me something.

Speaker 20 How did it happen?

Speaker 19 He was stabbed in his office in Westport. He never fully recovered and passed a few days ago.
Still, no one knows who did it. Not even us.

Speaker 3 Damn.

Speaker 20 Wait, is that what Vincent was talking about back in Prim? Warning me to go home? Apparently, he fucking knew somehow?

Speaker 12 I only knew because of her.

Speaker 7 Me?

Speaker 4 Vincent, you son of a bitch.

Speaker 17 Oh, still up?

Speaker 7 I am now.

Speaker 2 The whole house can hear you.

Speaker 24 Yeah, she told me.

Speaker 21 Vera was in and out of consciousness after that, darn.

Speaker 2 I got real chatty about Nick while I carried her to the plane.

Speaker 7 I did.

Speaker 25 It's been known to happen. My toxins can have weird effects.

Speaker 22 I

Speaker 22 think I kind of remember that.

Speaker 22 It was constantly on my mind how to tell you, Nick.

Speaker 7 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 19 Really had me worried, Nick. After I saw that infected attack, the what?

Speaker 4 You were attacked. I'm fine.

Speaker 2 You sure they're clean?

Speaker 16 Negative QI tests, all of them.

Speaker 7 Huh.

Speaker 7 You are really lucky.

Speaker 9 And then to be able to follow us all the way here, too.

Speaker 14 Figured you'd take the advice, Nick.

Speaker 7 Go home.

Speaker 2 But nope, didn't want to listen to me.

Speaker 20 Give me my gun back now.

Speaker 27 Hey, hey, no, you don't get shit.

Speaker 4 Fuck it.

Speaker 28 I don't even need a weapon.

Speaker 2 You really want to do this again?

Speaker 4 Remember what happened before?

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 20 But this time,

Speaker 20 Nick!

Speaker 18 Warned you.

Speaker 7 That?

Speaker 21 That was nothing.

Speaker 14 Do I have to choke you out again?

Speaker 23 Oh, it won't come to that.

Speaker 27 Oh, damn. I was hoping to see Vincent lose for once.

Speaker 23 Oh, he's going out.

Speaker 24 Losing battle, man.

Speaker 7 Nick, don't.

Speaker 12 I'll never give up.

Speaker 2 Stay down.

Speaker 19 That's enough.

Speaker 23 Nick,

Speaker 23 get away from me.

Speaker 7 Oh, no. Oh, no.

Speaker 7 Oh, God.

Speaker 7 All that.

Speaker 19 From a little blood?

Speaker 7 Told you I had to use the bathroom.

Speaker 29 He's still air sick from the flight earlier.

Speaker 19 Vincent, go back upstairs. You're not helping right now.

Speaker 7 Fine.

Speaker 20 You're the boss.

Speaker 19 Then call someone to clean up this mess.

Speaker 2 Whatever.

Speaker 19 Fingers. Escort them to the guest house.
If he needs medical aid.

Speaker 21 I don't need it.

Speaker 20 I need to go home.

Speaker 19 And I won't stop you. But now is not the time.

Speaker 19 I am very sorry for what happened. And how you found out.

Speaker 19 I thought you already knew.

Speaker 19 But whether you leave tonight or tomorrow won't make much of a difference.

Speaker 24 He's right, Nick. And

Speaker 24 I don't know if I can go any further.

Speaker 10 Me neither.

Speaker 25 I'm exhausted.

Speaker 19 Nick, in the morning, I'll help you however I can.

Speaker 19 I promise.

Speaker 26 Whatever.

Speaker 19 Fingers, show them the way.

Speaker 27 Yes, boss.

Speaker 19 And for the last time, good night.

Speaker 7 Can you walk?

Speaker 27 You need help up?

Speaker 7 I'm fine.

Speaker 22 Nick, I'm so sorry. I never never meant you.

Speaker 22 No, wait.

Speaker 7 Please, Nick!

Speaker 7 Nick!

Speaker 24 We should give them some privacy.

Speaker 7 Right.

Speaker 7 Whatever.

Speaker 7 Drama.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 7 Please.

Speaker 22 You have to believe me. I didn't tell you because I...

Speaker 22 I wanted to protect you. It wouldn't have made a difference before.

Speaker 7 You don't know that.

Speaker 23 Maybe it would have.

Speaker 20 Maybe I could have done something.

Speaker 20 Or maybe I just would have gone home instead of following your ass here.

Speaker 7 That's not.

Speaker 22 You don't understand.

Speaker 7 Yes.

Speaker 20 Yes, I do, Vera. You don't.
I flew thousands of miles in the wrong direction because of you.

Speaker 20 Only once I get here, I find out this was for some fucking happy reunion with your dear old dad.

Speaker 14 And me?

Speaker 20 I came all this way just to find out

Speaker 20 that I was losing mine.

Speaker 7 That's

Speaker 7 no, Nick.

Speaker 7 No,

Speaker 7 Nick?

Speaker 7 Whatever.

Speaker 27 This way.

Speaker 24 So, this place really has a big library. You think I could borrow some books after the bathroom, of course?

Speaker 7 Uh-huh.

Speaker 27 When I get a chance, I'll show you.

Speaker 29 Fingers, huh?

Speaker 17 Is that because you're good at

Speaker 7 you know?

Speaker 27 I'm good at lifting things, I steal stuff. Don't get the wrong idea.

Speaker 7 Ah, okay.

Speaker 7 Well,

Speaker 5 I had to ask.

Speaker 5 Come on,

Speaker 7 come on, knock it off.

Speaker 7 Don't knock it off.

Speaker 28 What are you doing?

Speaker 28 Could you not really like stop being so gross?

Speaker 7 I can see that now.

Speaker 28 Scared the shit out of me. Something that big waking me up.

Speaker 7 Dot.

Speaker 7 He came back.

Speaker 31 So what? You're taking my horse now, too? What?

Speaker 28 No, it's not like that. He found us and...

Speaker 26 I'm kidding.

Speaker 31 That horse never wanted to go back down into the Atlas.

Speaker 31 He chooses where he wants to go now.

Speaker 7 Dot.

Speaker 31 And apparently he wants to be with you. Now come on, we need to get moving before the Boers people do.

Speaker 23 Oh shit!

Speaker 30 There's a lot more of them now.

Speaker 31 They continue to arrive through the night, and it won't be much longer. I already sent off the truck with the injured and woke up the rest of the refugees.

Speaker 31 They're getting ready to move in a few minutes. Sun will be up in about a half hour, and I guarantee they'll be on us by then.

Speaker 18 Why don't we leave behind our best shooters?

Speaker 28 Keep them on this ridge. At every turn, we have to try and slow down the Boars crew.

Speaker 7 Already ahead of you.

Speaker 31 Gran is gathering the most able-bodied to set up sniper spots along our path. At least until Golden Valley.
After that, there will be nowhere else to hide.

Speaker 28 Well, that's why we have to block their advance at Union Pass before they get to the valley. Are your explosives ready?

Speaker 7 Here.

Speaker 31 The switch on the side will give you either a 30 or 60 second timer. After you toggle the safety, they're armed.
That's it.

Speaker 19 How'd you learn how to rig bombs?

Speaker 7 From your movies?

Speaker 31 Actually, your mom made them.

Speaker 7 Oh.

Speaker 31 Yeah, it was a while ago. For the Atlas.

Speaker 1 But they'll still work.

Speaker 28 So, I'm setting these up, right?

Speaker 31 Well, you've got the horse. Only way you might possibly catch up with the refugees.

Speaker 28 Because we can't just blow the pass ahead of time.

Speaker 14 We need to do it while the Borsch people are coming to the choke point.

Speaker 31 Uh-huh, otherwise it'll give them more time to go around.

Speaker 31 Alex, this is our one shot.

Speaker 7 All right,

Speaker 19 then it's gotta be me.

Speaker 28 I'll set these up while you all push ahead.

Speaker 7 Dot, Dot.

Speaker 7 No, you're going with Gloria.

Speaker 28 Both of us don't need to go.

Speaker 10 Two?

Speaker 7 Two.

Speaker 31 All right, she does have a point. Two bombs, two of you.
You're the only ones with body armor. And she's light enough.
The horse can probably handle both your weight.

Speaker 28 I know Demon can.

Speaker 28 I just.

Speaker 2 to risk you, Dot.

Speaker 7 Dot.

Speaker 7 Okay. Okay.
You're right.

Speaker 7 It's you and me.

Speaker 24 Cute.

Speaker 31 I'll travel ahead with the main group and try to get the Atlas open and everyone inside through the stable entrance.

Speaker 31 Dot, cut!

Speaker 23 The Borsch people are on the move.

Speaker 28 Tell Grant to get his fire team in place.

Speaker 30 I'm going.

Speaker 28 We'll get to Union Pass as quickly as we can.

Speaker 30 Good luck.

Speaker 22 Don't blow yourself up.

Speaker 22 See you at that, let's kid.

Speaker 30 Come on, go.

Speaker 28 Sniper team one, take up the ridge now. Second team, cover the retreat to the next checkpoint, and so on.

Speaker 23 Tactical retreat.

Speaker 28 Let's go, people.

Speaker 28 Come on.

Speaker 7 This

Speaker 7 will work.

Speaker 7 And I hope so.

Speaker 23 It has to.

Speaker 28 The race is on.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Come on.

Speaker 7 Luck who's finally up.

Speaker 4 What the hell is that noise?

Speaker 24 Cicadas.

Speaker 7 Fuck is that? Bugs.

Speaker 25 Big ones.

Speaker 24 According to this book, the Baton Rouge brood hatches every 13 years.

Speaker 24 They must have arrived a little later than expected, according to this chart.

Speaker 7 Cool.

Speaker 26 Well, can you tell them to go away and come back later?

Speaker 7 I don't mind them.

Speaker 25 It's the other bloodsuckers inside the house that I'm more concerned with.

Speaker 24 Cicadas don't suck blood.

Speaker 20 What are you even reading?

Speaker 2 Where did you get that?

Speaker 21 Oh,

Speaker 24 you were asleep for a while, and I was up early, so fingers let me borrow these from their library. This one,

Speaker 24 this one's on the local ecology. I was curious about what those bugs were.

Speaker 2 You got up early and started reading.

Speaker 20 Man, well, something else.

Speaker 7 Sometimes I just do not get you.

Speaker 24 I don't know. It kept my mind off other things.
And

Speaker 24 how else do you ever expect to build off the knowledge of the old world?

Speaker 7 Easy.

Speaker 26 I don't.

Speaker 24 You're missing out.

Speaker 7 I mean, to think.

Speaker 24 Their lives were so easy, they just could sit around and write books about bugs, trees, whatever they wanted.

Speaker 25 Yeah, it was simpler times.

Speaker 7 Really?

Speaker 7 You knew it.

Speaker 7 How old are you?

Speaker 25 That's a hell of a question to ask a lady.

Speaker 7 So

Speaker 25 I was five when the outbreak hit.

Speaker 25 One, two, three, four, so

Speaker 2 that would make you.

Speaker 24 23.

Speaker 24 Or 24, depending on when your birthday is?

Speaker 25 23.

Speaker 2 I knew it.

Speaker 2 If you were five,

Speaker 20 you didn't really know that much of the old world.

Speaker 17 It was long enough to remember the feeling, okay?

Speaker 25 You don't have to be around long to understand what peace was like.

Speaker 20 You think we'll ever go back to that?

Speaker 25 Not after all I've seen. And I thought I'd seen it all, but then there's this place.
It almost feels like it was frozen in time.

Speaker 24 It is something, isn't it?

Speaker 17 They had people cutting the grass this morning.

Speaker 24 It's like, why even bother?

Speaker 10 Very much old world ways.

Speaker 25 Getting caught up in trivial bullshit like that. Grass looks better uncut.

Speaker 25 They do get some things right here, though.

Speaker 25 I enjoyed having fresh eggs.

Speaker 7 Wait, you made breakfast? If you want any, there's still a lot left over.

Speaker 27 I mean, don't they have like a gourmet chef on staff or something?

Speaker 25 I didn't trust their cooking, would you?

Speaker 20 Like, they'd poison us?

Speaker 25 Who knows what they're capable of? Why give them the chance?

Speaker 29 So, what's the plan?

Speaker 17 We made it here.

Speaker 25 Now what?

Speaker 20 I don't.

Speaker 20 I don't have any idea.

Speaker 20 Still replaying everything from last night, and

Speaker 20 about Michael.

Speaker 24 It must have been awful to find out like that.

Speaker 7 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 19 It's hard to believe.

Speaker 20 And what's worse,

Speaker 21 not knowing who did that to him or

Speaker 21 what Pegs is going through.

Speaker 24 You want to go back to Westport?

Speaker 25 It wouldn't be like hitchhiking a ride home. That's a hell of a long way.
You just want to turn around now?

Speaker 7 What about Vera?

Speaker 20 They want her here so badly.

Speaker 20 Why even bother?

Speaker 25 You'd leave her in the hands of these people?

Speaker 1 You don't even know who they really are.

Speaker 24 You haven't figured it out.

Speaker 26 And you have?

Speaker 24 Did you get a good look at the inside of the house?

Speaker 24 I got to see a little more when Fingers showed me to the library.

Speaker 24 The wild pighead above the front gate, the rings they all wear, the way they talk, the weapons they use, and even how they fight.

Speaker 24 It all reminded me of some high-brow secret society, like the Hermetic Order or the Black Hand.

Speaker 7 The what?

Speaker 20 Those are a thing?

Speaker 20 How would you even know that?

Speaker 24 Reading.

Speaker 24 I told you, the Boer had an extensive library. I was able to get through pretty much all of it.
Had a lot of time on my hands. I wasn't allowed to do much else.

Speaker 24 But the point is, those societies were dangerous. The Black Hand was responsible for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 7 that was bad,

Speaker 7 right?

Speaker 24 It led to World War I.

Speaker 16 You think these people are that dangerous?

Speaker 24 Why not?

Speaker 24 They stayed organized and survived through the outbreak. Vincent is a hell of a fighter, nothing like I've seen before.
No offense, Nick.

Speaker 20 I'm starting to get that now.

Speaker 24 And from the decorations around the house? I mean, they even had a 1700s musket on the wall. These people have been around for a long time.

Speaker 24 And if Vera is the daughter of the one in charge?

Speaker 24 Nick, do you know all of her story? You've been friends with Vera a while.

Speaker 2 Her whole life, but this.

Speaker 28 this is all new to me.

Speaker 20 I mean, I got pieces, but even she didn't know about him. Only that he walked out on her and her mom.

Speaker 18 Nothing about being the head of a cult.

Speaker 24 It doesn't seem like that's what this is.

Speaker 2 But whoever they are, we need to be very careful.

Speaker 7 Agreed? Careful of what? Jesus!

Speaker 7 Where did you come from?

Speaker 7 Good.

Speaker 27 You're all up now. Glad you showered and changed those nasty ass clothes.

Speaker 17 Boss wants to talk to you.

Speaker 7 All of us?

Speaker 16 Just him.

Speaker 7 Me?

Speaker 27 That's what the man said.

Speaker 2 Fine.

Speaker 24 Are you sure, Nick?

Speaker 21 Hey, you want to know what's going on?

Speaker 20 Gotta go to the source.

Speaker 29 He better come back.

Speaker 16 Or you'll do what?

Speaker 27 Just stay in the guest house.

Speaker 2 It was the new game day scratchers from the California Lottery.

Speaker 2 Hey, a little play makes your day, and today, it made the game. That's all for now.

Speaker 10 Please play responsibly, must be 18 years or older to purchase, play, or claim.

Speaker 18 And now, we continue with Descendants.

Speaker 27 Sir, I have Nicholas Tink with me.

Speaker 19 Thank you, Fingers. Send him in.

Speaker 7 Damn.

Speaker 3 That's a lot of books.

Speaker 19 Knowledge is power. Your friend Will seems to understand that better than most.
He was already rooting through these this morning.

Speaker 20 This was all here before the outbreak?

Speaker 19 Not quite as many.

Speaker 19 We saved a fair amount of these after the outbreak, along with a few other relics.

Speaker 20 No way!

Speaker 21 Are these real dinosaur bones?

Speaker 19 Well, the museums don't need these anymore. If we didn't retrieve them, someone else would have.
Could have ended up damaged or destroyed. We hope to preserve a bit of the old world in the new one.

Speaker 20 Is that what you're doing here?

Speaker 19 In part.

Speaker 3 So,

Speaker 7 what are you all?

Speaker 20 A secret society or some shit? You're like the Black Hand, or what was it? The uh the Hermetic Order, right?

Speaker 19 Right to the point.

Speaker 19 No, we're nowhere near as bad as the Black Hand. Although I admit, I haven't heard that one mentioned in a while.

Speaker 20 Well, hey, you know, Will's not the only one who knows how to read, but um, you're something like one of those groups, right?

Speaker 19 We're more like a family, connected through the generations. You're correct in how we have to operate in secret.
But even you understand how valuable anonymity can be.

Speaker 7 Do I?

Speaker 19 You cut to the chase, so I will too.

Speaker 19 Vera is my only living blood relative, and that means a great deal here.

Speaker 19 In many ways, she's the only opportunity I'll have to leave any legacy behind.

Speaker 20 And why exactly would that matter to me?

Speaker 19 You care about her safety, her well-being, as do I.

Speaker 19 If she were to stay here, not only would that be guaranteed, but it would also come with opportunities that no one else could offer.

Speaker 20 To become more like you.

Speaker 7 Yes.

Speaker 20 And you already told her all of this.

Speaker 19 And now I'm telling you.

Speaker 20 Because she said no.

Speaker 19 She did.

Speaker 19 Partly, I'm assuming, is because of you.

Speaker 20 Me?

Speaker 19 Can I ask you what you plan on doing now?

Speaker 2 Um, I don't know.

Speaker 20 I'm figuring it out.

Speaker 19 You want help with that?

Speaker 19 I told you I would offer assistance.

Speaker 7 How?

Speaker 19 I can't tell you much about who we are, but I can say that we are very connected with places and people all over.

Speaker 20 Is that supposed to mean something to me, or are you gonna just keep being cryptic?

Speaker 19 After Michael died, Pegs left Westport to try and find you.

Speaker 19 I happen to know where she went.

Speaker 20 She wouldn't go past the walls. How could you possibly know that?

Speaker 19 Because one of our members went with her.

Speaker 7 Who?

Speaker 19 Dean Mullen.

Speaker 23 Fucking Dean?

Speaker 14 He's one of you?

Speaker 20 I know his moms, man.

Speaker 7 There's no way.

Speaker 19 Oh, Ruth and Mira are part of us, too.

Speaker 23 Are you fucking kidding me?

Speaker 14 So, what?

Speaker 20 He's been spying on me this whole time?

Speaker 19 Keeping an eye on Vera and Westport, along with his parents.

Speaker 19 I know that's difficult to hear, but oh my damn right, it is, dude.

Speaker 26 Oh, my God.

Speaker 20 You tell me someone killed my dad, and then my best friend is a goddamn liar for the entire time that I've known him.

Speaker 7 I mean,

Speaker 20 why the fuck would I ever want your help,

Speaker 7 Nick?

Speaker 23 Screw this place!

Speaker 23 Nick! Nick!

Speaker 22 Hey! What is going on?

Speaker 22 Nick!

Speaker 9 Nick! Wait! Dean!

Speaker 20 Dean's one of them!

Speaker 20 Did you know that? You've been keeping that from me, too?

Speaker 22 I only just found out. I didn't know how to tell you yet.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's what I thought.

Speaker 1 Please, wait!

Speaker 22 Nick, will you listen to me?

Speaker 22 I know what you and Dean had beneath all of that. I have to believe he really was our friend.

Speaker 7 Yeah, was.

Speaker 20 Damn right. Bunch of goddamn liars all around me.

Speaker 20 You know what? Maybe you are better off staying with them. You fit right in.

Speaker 22 Look, hey, stop walking away from me.

Speaker 22 You didn't deserve to find out about all of this the way you did.

Speaker 21 It's too late now, isn't it?

Speaker 20 Anything else you want to surprise me with?

Speaker 29 Look, I am so sorry that Michael's gone.

Speaker 22 I know how much that hurts.

Speaker 21 No, you don't.

Speaker 20 You never lost someone like this.

Speaker 22 Maybe not, but I know how much he meant to you and how much you meant to him.

Speaker 2 We fought like, like daily.

Speaker 22 Because he wanted the best for you. And if you both weren't so damn stubborn, I'm sure you both would have said how much you really cared.

Speaker 22 He may not have been your real dad, but he tried to be.

Speaker 20 First, Lisa.

Speaker 20 Then Michael.

Speaker 20 Best friend was a phony.

Speaker 20 My mom's apparently out in the red zone trying to find me.

Speaker 20 I'm losing the few people I got left.

Speaker 22 You will always have me, no matter what.

Speaker 7 Do I?

Speaker 22 I know it was wrong to keep what happened to Michael from you.

Speaker 22 If I could go back, I would.

Speaker 22 But I hope you know why I didn't say anything. That whole time in Prim, we had no control on what was happening to us.
I was trying to protect you. How would you have reacted if you'd known?

Speaker 22 Like this?

Speaker 30 I don't know.

Speaker 14 Maybe I would have tried harder to get out of there and go home.

Speaker 22 Or you could have made mistakes, been distracted.

Speaker 22 From what Oliver said, even if you had made it back to Westport, it wouldn't have made a difference.

Speaker 21 No, that's not true. I could have had a chance to say goodbye, told Michael that I was sorry for a lot of this shit that I said and did.
Now I gotta live with that.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 20 I would have been there for pegs.

Speaker 20 I mean, I'm all she's got now.

Speaker 21 Look, there's a lot that I could have done if I had known.

Speaker 21 Maybe I wouldn't have came here.

Speaker 22 But do you understand how much it means to me that you did?

Speaker 7 No.

Speaker 22 More than you know.

Speaker 22 Neither of us had any idea what was happening to the other. I was just as worried about you.

Speaker 22 But we're both here now.

Speaker 26 Look, I can't stay there.

Speaker 20 Not with my mom out there looking for me, and not after everything that she's been through.

Speaker 14 You know that.

Speaker 7 I.

Speaker 22 I do.

Speaker 22 As much as I want you here,

Speaker 22 she needs you more.

Speaker 20 What about you?

Speaker 21 Are you actually considering staying?

Speaker 22 I was told they're gonna find a way for me to call home. And that when I'm ready, I can fly back to Westport.

Speaker 14 Wait, shit, can they do that now?

Speaker 20 I mean, I'll take the damn plane.

Speaker 22 They won't have jet fuel for a while. Said it could take weeks to get enough to travel that far.

Speaker 20 I don't know if I have weeks.

Speaker 19 There might be another way.

Speaker 2 This fucking guy.

Speaker 20 How could I possibly trust what you have to say?

Speaker 22 Would it hurt just to listen to your options?

Speaker 4 Fine.

Speaker 20 What is it?

Speaker 19 Dean said he and Peggs were headed to a place called Lechaguilla in New Mexico. It's near the western border of the Republic.
I can give you the coordinates. You won't find it on a modern map.

Speaker 20 Why the hell would they go there?

Speaker 23 And what's Lechig?

Speaker 2 Whatever the fuck that is, Lechigia.

Speaker 19 Dean's message didn't really say, other than that's where they believed you went.

Speaker 20 So they may not stay there long if they don't find me?

Speaker 19 Well, your guess is as good as mine. I will try to send a message, but that could take time.

Speaker 20 Okay, so then what's this other way if we can't fly there?

Speaker 19 There's a rail line just south of here that comes from the UA through the Republic. Passengers and cargo.
Comes and goes every few days.

Speaker 19 If you can hit your ride, it'll take you all the way there, or at least as close as possible.

Speaker 7 Really?

Speaker 19 It's not going to be easy, but.

Speaker 20 But it's a way.

Speaker 7 It is.

Speaker 7 Well,

Speaker 20 then that's where I'm going.

Speaker 19 And you'll take your friends, too? Staying would make things complicated.

Speaker 20 Yeah, members only, right?

Speaker 7 I don't make the rules.

Speaker 19 Letting you in here as long as I did was quite out of the ordinary.

Speaker 20 But you're in charge, though, right? You're saying you can't change those rules?

Speaker 19 I can't. There are courtesies allowed to help others in need, which is why you could stay the night.
But even my close friends that I traveled with from the colony weren't allowed.

Speaker 19 The only exceptions outside the family that can be made are for trainers with special skills.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 19 I'm sorry. That isn't you.

Speaker 7 Gee, thanks.

Speaker 20 Not that I'd want to stay here anyways.

Speaker 20 Hey, you sure you don't want to come with us, Ver?

Speaker 5 I think I want to stay.

Speaker 17 See this through.

Speaker 22 Might be a bit different than what I'm used to, but that's a good thing.

Speaker 22 I'll learn things I'd never get a chance to anywhere else.

Speaker 19 The more knowledge and skills, the stronger the warrior.

Speaker 20 Hey, this is her decision, all right?

Speaker 14 Not yours,

Speaker 7 Nick.

Speaker 22 Look what happened on our first mission after graduation.

Speaker 5 And with Lisa,

Speaker 22 I failed all of you.

Speaker 20 There was no way any of us could have known what was out there or how to deal with that fucking monster in the arena.

Speaker 22 Well, maybe now I will. Maybe this could help all of us survive, even help Westport.

Speaker 21 But you have not failed us

Speaker 20 ever.

Speaker 20 But if this is what you want.

Speaker 22 I do.

Speaker 22 I want it for me.

Speaker 20 How long is all that it's supposed to take?

Speaker 19 To officially become part of the family, that depends a lot on the initiate and how quickly they master each skill set.

Speaker 19 Could be months. Some take years.

Speaker 22 I'll be done in a week.

Speaker 7 Well, we'll see.

Speaker 20 And you can guarantee that she's gonna be safe here.

Speaker 19 That's my daughter. Of course she will be.
Family members have rules against hurting one another. Outside of any normal training or sparring, of course.

Speaker 22 Not that different from Guardian School in Westport.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 7 All right, then.

Speaker 20 I guess you can stay.

Speaker 5 Not like I needed your approval, but I appreciate your support.

Speaker 26 Of course.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 20 I should probably start getting ready myself.

Speaker 19 If you head out soon. You should be able to get to the rail line within a day or so, just in time.

Speaker 19 Otherwise, you'll be stuck waiting for the next one.

Speaker 20 Then we gotta get some shit together.

Speaker 19 We don't have much to go on, but fingers will prepare some travel packs to take with you. Make sure you're well supplied.
I'll let her know.

Speaker 26 Cool.

Speaker 7 Cool.

Speaker 3 Um,

Speaker 20 I guess I better go tell the others.

Speaker 16 So, what, that's it? She's just gonna stay here with them.

Speaker 20 Yep, that's what she told me. Wasn't much of a point arguing with Vera.
Seemed like she's already made up her mind.

Speaker 29 She wants this?

Speaker 2 I guess.

Speaker 24 Doesn't feel right.

Speaker 24 Honestly, I'd want to stay. Decades, if not more, of survival training, literature, resources.
And I mean, just look at this place.

Speaker 20 Yeah, well, don't get too attached.

Speaker 26 We can't stay.

Speaker 20 Members only shit.

Speaker 20 But they are gonna give us supplies so we can head out before lunch.

Speaker 24 Wait, we're going now?

Speaker 24 To where, even?

Speaker 20 I am headed south. Gonna catch a ride and try to find where my mom went.
Apparently, she took off after Michael died looking for me.

Speaker 20 I gotta get back to her.

Speaker 20 You're welcome to come with me if you want, or go wherever on your own. That's up to you.

Speaker 24 Stick with you.

Speaker 24 I'll stick with you.

Speaker 25 There's really no other options than if we're getting kicked out.

Speaker 20 If you want to tag along, you can.

Speaker 21 I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 14 I still hate you for what you did to us, but

Speaker 20 you did get us here, so.

Speaker 25 At least I never stabbed you in the back like Vincent.

Speaker 1 And you're just gonna leave Vera here with him.

Speaker 20 I don't like it either, but I mean, what can I do, okay? I have to trust that Vera knows what she's doing.

Speaker 21 Grab whatever you can.

Speaker 20 We need to get going. I want to try to make it to the rail line before long.

Speaker 7 Oh,

Speaker 7 on a train?

Speaker 24 I've never been on a train before.

Speaker 7 So, I have.

Speaker 20 Trust me. You ain't missing much.

Speaker 27 I packed a few days' rations and plenty of the other supplies you might need.

Speaker 29 What about our weapons?

Speaker 27 I took the liberty of unloading everything. You can chamber rounds once we close the gate.

Speaker 20 Don't trust us, huh?

Speaker 16 After you're outside our perimeter, you're someone else's problem.

Speaker 27 Just don't get lost.

Speaker 7 I got the map.

Speaker 24 I have a good idea of where we're going.

Speaker 29 What about my dart tube?

Speaker 27 That, uh, yeah, completely useless, but here you go.

Speaker 25 If you only knew.

Speaker 24 Uh, and what about my weapon?

Speaker 27 Yeah, I don't even know what the hell this is supposed to be.

Speaker 24 Oh, it's a tomato pistol. I made it myself in the lab back in Prim.

Speaker 24 Uh, if you have all the right materials, it's pretty easy, but I can just build more cartridges since I don't have any more right now.

Speaker 34 Hey, look, whatever.

Speaker 27 Just take your junk.

Speaker 7 Okay.

Speaker 22 You all set?

Speaker 7 Uh-huh.

Speaker 26 Last chance.

Speaker 20 You sure you don't want to come with us?

Speaker 7 I'm

Speaker 22 good here.

Speaker 22 Actually getting excited about it now.

Speaker 20 Yeah, well,

Speaker 21 I'm still worried.

Speaker 25 I'm more so about you.

Speaker 7 That's a long way to go.

Speaker 20 Well, Will's never seen the world, and now I get to show him a little part of it.

Speaker 24 Yeah, we get to go on a train. That sounds pretty fun.

Speaker 24 First, a plane, now a train. Well, what's next?

Speaker 20 Automobiles.

Speaker 7 What?

Speaker 20 Nothing. Um,

Speaker 3 Bert, we'll get it.

Speaker 24 Sure, yeah, or boats.

Speaker 25 Benson's not gonna show up to send us off.

Speaker 20 Yeah, I'd sure like to send him off.

Speaker 34 Because that worked so well for you last time.

Speaker 34 Look,

Speaker 20 we better come home soon, okay?

Speaker 20 You'll find some way to keep me updated, right?

Speaker 7 Okay.

Speaker 27 Once you get to Dean, he'll be able to get messages back to us. We have ways.

Speaker 24 Well, really? Like what? Encrypted relays or sap phones? How does your tech work?

Speaker 25 I'm not telling you.

Speaker 27 Oh, go on. You're burning daylight.

Speaker 20 Just

Speaker 26 one last thing.

Speaker 7 Sarah.

Speaker 7 What is it?

Speaker 20 Something's been on my mind.

Speaker 20 About how you weren't totally honest about what happened.

Speaker 22 Do we have to keep going over that?

Speaker 7 I told you.

Speaker 20 No, no, no. I know, but

Speaker 20 there's something I need to come clean about.

Speaker 20 Something that I kept from you.

Speaker 7 Oh?

Speaker 20 Those, um...

Speaker 20 Those orders that we followed for the journal that took us to Lisa's crash site?

Speaker 22 The ones you totally made up yourself?

Speaker 20 You knew?

Speaker 15 Please.

Speaker 22 How can I not have figured that out?

Speaker 4 Like, this whole time.

Speaker 7 You're not that clever. I played along.

Speaker 22 I wanted to support you.

Speaker 20 Because that's what you've always done.

Speaker 22 Finally, understanding that?

Speaker 20 I'm getting there.

Speaker 20 But

Speaker 20 those orders, I mean, if

Speaker 20 we didn't leave at all.

Speaker 22 I've played the game too.

Speaker 7 The ifs.

Speaker 22 There's no winning constantly looking behind.

Speaker 22 The only thing we can do now is to look forward.

Speaker 22 That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 29 You need to as well.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 20 And I know where that needs to be.

Speaker 7 Your mom.

Speaker 20 She needs me.

Speaker 22 More than anyone right now.

Speaker 32 Come on, I have things to do.

Speaker 20 Bye, Mira.

Speaker 20 I love you.

Speaker 3 Love you too.

Speaker 7 I heard that.

Speaker 20 No one asked you well.

Speaker 7 Wait, hold up. Oh, what now?

Speaker 10 Seriously, be careful.

Speaker 22 I know he's your dad and all, but I'll be fine, Nakoma.

Speaker 24 I just

Speaker 7 Vincent grabbed you.

Speaker 24 You have no room to talk.

Speaker 29 After what you did to us,

Speaker 22 why would you even care?

Speaker 26 Hey, what's the Hoda?

Speaker 22 I appreciate you bringing Nick, but I think you'd better go.

Speaker 7 Uh,

Speaker 7 yeah.

Speaker 7 All right.

Speaker 27 Y'all don't come back now.

Speaker 34 You hear?

Speaker 22 Message me once you get there, okay?

Speaker 20 Adios, Muchacha.

Speaker 7 Okay,

Speaker 24 uh, Compass says we head this way once once we're past the traps.

Speaker 25 Get behind me. Don't exactly trust you walking in front.

Speaker 24 Good. Yeah, I wouldn't either.

Speaker 4 Man, this is nasty.

Speaker 13 These dead bugs are damn near everywhere now. I didn't even notice them when we were coming in.

Speaker 24 They're just starting to die off.

Speaker 24 The book says they don't live long.

Speaker 24 They laid their eggs and now they'll start the 13-year cycle all over again.

Speaker 13 Some life,

Speaker 20 what is dead and buried, doesn't always die, does it?

Speaker 20 I keep learning at the hallway.

Speaker 7 Ah,

Speaker 7 man,

Speaker 14 they couldn't have waited another day.

Speaker 26 This is disgusting.

Speaker 13 What's up with you?

Speaker 27 Something doesn't feel right.

Speaker 4 What? You see something?

Speaker 7 No, about Vera.

Speaker 7 All of this.

Speaker 24 To leave her there with those people.

Speaker 32 If they're anything like Vincent.

Speaker 25 You heard her, okay?

Speaker 20 She wants to stay. Her dad's there.
She thinks this is a good thing now. Go ahead.
Try to convince Vera to do something she doesn't want to do.

Speaker 27 No kidding.

Speaker 22 I want to go back.

Speaker 14 And do what? Exactly.

Speaker 20 You heard them. We're not welcome.

Speaker 17 I know the way through the traps now.

Speaker 29 What spots they'll be watching from.

Speaker 7 And then what? Huh? What?

Speaker 20 You're gonna watch them from the outside until they catch you?

Speaker 29 We already passed a few abandoned houses and farms. I could easily hold up in one of those.
Keep an eye on the place. I've survived in far worse.

Speaker 14 Why would you even do that?

Speaker 32 Look, I got you out of danger, or as much as I could, but now we just delivered her from one madhouse into another.

Speaker 14 Yeah, uh-huh. And you're the one who even pushed me.

Speaker 32 You all keep reminding me of what I did.

Speaker 20 Like, I don't already know.

Speaker 29 One death is on my conscience.

Speaker 32 I can't have another when I still have a chance to make things right.

Speaker 28 Is that what you think you'd be doing?

Speaker 14 You really think that she's in danger?

Speaker 32 And if she's not,

Speaker 7 what would be the harm?

Speaker 32 You don't need me. You have Will.

Speaker 24 Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I can't do much.

Speaker 32 And you don't even like me.

Speaker 20 You're making some strong points.

Speaker 17 Let me do this.

Speaker 21 I'm not in charge of you, Nicoma.

Speaker 17 But I trust your judgment. As misguided as you are, sometimes you seem to know what's right.

Speaker 17 You say no, I won't.

Speaker 20 What do you think, Will?

Speaker 24 Oh, don't look at me. I'm no military strategist.

Speaker 14 Yeah, but you do know things.

Speaker 20 You were there with us. You saw stuff that we didn't.

Speaker 24 I mean, if I were to sign a number based on suspicion,

Speaker 24 20% chance something's up.

Speaker 7 Whoa, that high, or 15, probably more like 15.

Speaker 24 I do think that is her dad. That there's a resemblance, and I do feel he cares about her, so maybe it's nothing.

Speaker 32 You want to leave Vera on a maybe it's nothing.

Speaker 20 Look, I just gotta get to my mom.

Speaker 9 I, you know, I just wanna that's why I would go back

Speaker 17 win-win here.

Speaker 7 Fuck it.

Speaker 20 Will, you you got me out of prim.

Speaker 21 You'll do great by my side.

Speaker 20 We can get by without Nicoma.

Speaker 24 That's hardly a good assessment.

Speaker 29 You're making the right call.

Speaker 29 I'll be her safety net.

Speaker 20 And if she starts to fall, you're gonna catch her.

Speaker 10 Exactly.

Speaker 7 You had to spell that out?

Speaker 21 Do not make me regret keeping you around.

Speaker 7 Alright.

Speaker 7 Alright, right.

Speaker 18 Good luck to you two.

Speaker 25 May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your your house.

Speaker 20 What does that even mean?

Speaker 3 It's a blessing, right?

Speaker 3 It's not exactly from my people, but it always felt like it fit.

Speaker 25 Honestly, it's meant to be about a literal house, but

Speaker 24 I find it has always given good karma.

Speaker 17 Like, I wish you the best.

Speaker 2 Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 Maybe I don't like you only

Speaker 7 a little now.

Speaker 7 Whatever.

Speaker 24 Go on, you see. Catch a train.

Speaker 25 Okay, but um, bye, Nakoma.

Speaker 3 Good fucking luck, Nakoma.

Speaker 20 That's uh, like a blessing for my people, the swearing ones.

Speaker 7 Should we

Speaker 24 keep going? Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 This way?

Speaker 7 Yep. Um,

Speaker 24 well, uh, we'll head to the 182 freeway. That should be clear of most infected.
Uh, at least that's what Oliver said.

Speaker 20 You gonna be able to keep up?

Speaker 7 Sure.

Speaker 24 I mean, when I'm not vomiting or or shaking uncontrollably.

Speaker 7 Great.

Speaker 20 Well, you're gonna have to work through it because this is not going to be easy. Not just the road there,

Speaker 20 the train, most of all.

Speaker 7 Uh,

Speaker 24 how so?

Speaker 20 Well, there isn't a stop on the tracks anywhere near where we're headed.

Speaker 24 And what does that mean for us?

Speaker 20 It means we gotta get aboard that train somehow,

Speaker 20 and it's not stopping.

Speaker 7 Oh boy,

Speaker 20 you want to ride a train, right?

Speaker 7 Not anymore.

Speaker 7 Come on.

Speaker 28 I can see our group.

Speaker 13 The refugees. They made it to the Golden Valley.

Speaker 28 We need to finish placing the other bomb like now.

Speaker 7 Come on.

Speaker 13 These rocks are so tough.

Speaker 28 I'm barely making a dent. The other side was so much easier.

Speaker 7 Deep. Uh-huh.

Speaker 28 If we don't get these explosives deep enough into the rocks, they'll just go off on the outside and that won't do any good.

Speaker 28 We need both formations of the Union Pass to break up and collapse into the road.

Speaker 13 Demon, demon, stop.

Speaker 7 Okay, okay, buddy. Okay, okay.

Speaker 28 Can you take him down the hill? They're gonna be here any minute.

Speaker 7 Demon.

Speaker 7 Shit.

Speaker 28 No, no, not yet. It's not ready.

Speaker 7 Did you rope him off?

Speaker 28 Alright, get into position at the other bomb. When I give you the signal, flip your switch.
They're only gonna be set for 30 seconds. I'm gonna try to get this one in deeper.

Speaker 13 Hopefully they won't see it.

Speaker 23 Cover that one in brush.

Speaker 23 Holy shit. That's a tank in front.

Speaker 23 Oh man, this better be deep enough.

Speaker 7 I know, I know.

Speaker 23 Wait for my signal, okay? Once the tank gets to that cactus there, flip the switch, and then run back to demon.

Speaker 27 Done.

Speaker 7 Go, go, get in position.

Speaker 23 This has to work.

Speaker 23 Stay behind the tank!

Speaker 11 They probably got more snipers than these does.

Speaker 7 God damn being great.

Speaker 30 Where'd they get all these fucking guns anyway?

Speaker 30 Wait for it. Wait for it.

Speaker 7 A little closer.

Speaker 7 No.

Speaker 28 Come on now. Why'd you stop?

Speaker 20 They're getting away.

Speaker 7 Something doesn't seem right.

Speaker 7 Flip it.

Speaker 7 You hear that?

Speaker 7 God, do it.

Speaker 11 I heard someone.

Speaker 30 Don, run. They're onto us.

Speaker 7 There they are. Come on.
Move. Everyone up.

Speaker 7 Stay behind the tank. They're ambushing again.
Doc, go! Go!

Speaker 7 Come on, just a little closer. I saw him! He's behind the rock down the cliff.
Fire the main gun! Flash that motherfucker with the tank! Oh, no!

Speaker 7 No! Get away! Get away!

Speaker 7 Fire!
