We’re Alive: Descendants - Chapter 12 - The Price for Freedom - Part 1 of 2

Speaker 1 Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for the team today?

Speaker 2 It was the new game day scratchers from the California Lottery. Play is everything.
Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

Speaker 5 Are you saying it was the off-field play that made the difference on the field?

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

Speaker 7 Coach, one more question: play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams Scratchers from the California Lottery.

Speaker 8 A little play can make your day.

Speaker 7 Please play responsibly, must be 18 years or older to purchase play or claim.

Speaker 9 We're alive

Speaker 10 in the fall. Descendants.

Speaker 11 There's a place.

Speaker 9 Written and directed by KC Waven.

Speaker 9 stands with a

Speaker 9 cold embrace

Speaker 9 chapter twelve lights fire

Speaker 9 the price for freedom with her stare

Speaker 12 part one of two

Speaker 12 Her love's always left.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Cold,

Speaker 12 coated in wine.

Speaker 12 A bittersweet

Speaker 12 compromise.

Speaker 12 Now she gone away.

Speaker 12 Oh, she's gone away. We're looking at it.

Speaker 15 Already scraggly.

Speaker 15 We still like strangers

Speaker 15 and a

Speaker 15 masquerade.

Speaker 15 Who the fuck?

Speaker 15 Michael, Michael, pull up. Help us all the way.
Don't miss him.

Speaker 15 Tell me what happened when we did this.

Speaker 15 Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 15 Good morning, pegs.

Speaker 17 Want some tea?

Speaker 17 Uh

Speaker 18 yes, thank you.

Speaker 18 Where's Where's Ruth? I thought she was gonna make breakfast pancakes.

Speaker 20 Yeah, she uh

Speaker 21 well

Speaker 21 What

Speaker 22 do you want the honest truth?

Speaker 18 Yes,

Speaker 11 She's gathering intel on the conflict with the Republic.

Speaker 23 Oh.

Speaker 24 Is that all?

Speaker 11 Hey, now that you know, you can know it all, right?

Speaker 12 Uh-huh.

Speaker 25 Did you sleep okay?

Speaker 23 No.

Speaker 23 I have a lot on my mind.

Speaker 18 I keep replaying what happened to Michael over and over in my head, trying to make some sense of any of it.

Speaker 18 It never even crossed my mind that something could happen to him.

Speaker 27 I mean,

Speaker 23 it's Michael.

Speaker 23 My Michael.

Speaker 26 And now

Speaker 17 he's gone.

Speaker 18 And where do I even begin to go from here?

Speaker 15 We've been together for so long, I forgot what my life was like without him.

Speaker 11 I can't imagine coping with all of that.

Speaker 23 No.

Speaker 18 No, you can't.

Speaker 26 You couldn't.

Speaker 6 And now,

Speaker 29 on top of everything, I have to piece together what you both told me last night and how to deal with what I genuinely think of you two.

Speaker 11 You know, Pegs, that who we are hasn't changed, though.

Speaker 30 But you have to me.

Speaker 30 It's like I hate you, but I don't.

Speaker 29 But I do. I mean, I don't even know.

Speaker 11 Honestly, I thought that too.

Speaker 11 When my moms first told me about what we were a part of, what we were a part of,

Speaker 11 it's like they became entirely different people overnight.

Speaker 11 I couldn't believe anything they said.

Speaker 11 But then, after a while, I started to see that they were still the loving parents they always were.

Speaker 11 Being part of the families doesn't have to change who you are.

Speaker 11 Only if you let it.

Speaker 24 You didn't know about all this growing up?

Speaker 23 No, not for a long time.

Speaker 11 Especially while having to deal with what was going on in the world.

Speaker 11 I mean, I had, you know, a few weird suspicions with the kind of people that interacted with my parents and some of the things the two of them could do.

Speaker 11 I mean, they can practically operate any type of vehicle. Big rigs, planes, whatever.

Speaker 11 And they can get into anywhere, talk their way through people.

Speaker 11 When they told me, it all sort of clicked.

Speaker 11 After a while, I thought it was kind of cool. You know?

Speaker 11 Like,

Speaker 11 I'm the son of a spy, right?

Speaker 31 Can I ask, and

Speaker 18 I know this might not be appropriate, but

Speaker 23 how

Speaker 18 exactly are you their son?

Speaker 11 Oh, oh, it's not some big secret. Ruth used to be married to a pretty normal guy named Dustin, then got pregnant and had me in 2008.

Speaker 11 He didn't survive once the infection happened.

Speaker 11 I don't mind you knowing, but my mom doesn't like to talk about it.

Speaker 11 As far as she's concerned, Mira's the love of her life.

Speaker 18 I um I appreciate you telling me.

Speaker 28 So, uh, was

Speaker 18 Dustin a part of the family, too?

Speaker 11 No.

Speaker 11 She actually never even told him. Decided it was better to keep that part of her a secret.

Speaker 18 It sounds like such...

Speaker 26 a weird,

Speaker 26 complicated life.

Speaker 16 Well,

Speaker 11 not much of a choice, really. If you're blood-related, that means you're part of something bigger than yourself.

Speaker 11 That's all there is to it.

Speaker 18 They force you to do things to stay?

Speaker 11 There are some that treat it that way, but no.

Speaker 11 Look, I know you had run-ins with a lot of the bad parts of the family, and believe me, they are there.

Speaker 11 But it's definitely not all of us.

Speaker 18 I thought Ruth said you weren't officially a member yet.

Speaker 11 Well, technically, yeah, I'm still a blood-born. You You have to go through a rite of passage to become a full member.

Speaker 18 Which is...

Speaker 3 It...

Speaker 11 Honestly, it's weird talking about all this with like a normal person.

Speaker 11 But what they do is they give you your first task. It's like a challenge the family gives you to complete.
Full members can perform tasks all the time, like what we're doing here in Westport.

Speaker 11 But your first one, that's your initiation.

Speaker 18 Like, what kinds of things do you have to do?

Speaker 11 Family business. All the different families support each other in some way.

Speaker 11 Sometimes that may mean giving a bribe, maybe stealing something,

Speaker 21 or

Speaker 11 even

Speaker 24 killing someone?

Speaker 11 Don't get the wrong idea. It's usually for a very good reason.

Speaker 27 So tell me again how you're not all horrible people?

Speaker 11 Okay, I get how that looks on the outside, but it's not.

Speaker 11 Remember that guy, Simeon, from the Twin Towers jail?

Speaker 11 The hit that took place in the colony? That was a bad guy, a liar, and a killer in his own way. The family's righted a wrong.

Speaker 18 See, this is where you start to lose me.

Speaker 11 You're saying you don't know anyone who's had to take a life under any circumstance, even when it's warranted?

Speaker 11 Hmm.

Speaker 11 Exactly.

Speaker 11 So, how can you judge a person by that, especially with what's going on in the world?

Speaker 6 By

Speaker 18 doing this task,

Speaker 24 that's what makes you become a full member?

Speaker 6 Well, yeah.

Speaker 11 Once you complete it, then you get your own ring.

Speaker 24 Can I see one?

Speaker 11 Oh, you mean a real one, not like the one you pretended to find.

Speaker 18 Is it here?

Speaker 3 Ruth's.

Speaker 11 I mean, yes, I guess I could, could,

Speaker 11 but

Speaker 11 ah, one sec.

Speaker 11 Hello.

Speaker 11 Uh,

Speaker 11 oh, uh, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 33 Yes, she's right here. Hold on,

Speaker 33 it's CJ.

Speaker 23 You mind?

Speaker 23 Yeah, yeah, of course.

Speaker 6 Hey,

Speaker 6 how are you holding up?

Speaker 18 Best I can.

Speaker 18 I was surprised you're still staying there.

Speaker 28 I tried your house first, but it's good to be around other people.

Speaker 30 And maybe it's letting me put some pieces together.

Speaker 30 Anything you can share?

Speaker 27 Nothing yet.

Speaker 34 Well,

Speaker 34 I may have something

Speaker 34 about what Michael

Speaker 24 managed to tell you before.

Speaker 18 You went through his office?

Speaker 34 We found only pieces, really. Some scattered notes, a few were pretty old.

Speaker 34 Others that looked more recent.

Speaker 18 Does it make sense of anything he said about the director or whatever?

Speaker 34 Apparently, Michael has been dealing with this person for some time as far back as 2019 and

Speaker 34 only by that name.

Speaker 34 Director is only mentioned in the call logs. The rest was removed or shredded.

Speaker 23 Seriously?

Speaker 24 So weird.

Speaker 18 I can't believe he never said anything to me.

Speaker 34 I don't think he said anything to anyone. From the way he handled this, he was keeping it a secret from everyone,

Speaker 30 including me. But why would he do something like that?

Speaker 26 And why would he tell Hope?

Speaker 23 I have no idea.

Speaker 24 Well, what about the other thing he was trying to say?

Speaker 30 Let you or let you or something?

Speaker 34 Now, that we did find. It's a location on a map he had.
A place called Lechugia.

Speaker 18 Letuguilla?

Speaker 28 Where is that?

Speaker 34 New Mexico. It's actually not far from the Republic.

Speaker 18 You think that's where they would have taken Nick?

Speaker 34 This is all we found, I promise.

Speaker 30 Well, can we send someone there, a team, or no?

Speaker 34 That's really close to the Republic and very far away from us.

Speaker 34 I'm spread thin as it is.

Speaker 34 Every move I make is being

Speaker 34 watched right now.

Speaker 34 With what happened to Michael and

Speaker 34 Westport elections, I

Speaker 34 can't risk it.

Speaker 26 CJ, what happened?

Speaker 34 They've announced this morning who's running against me.

Speaker 34 Command Sergeant Major Hawks.

Speaker 17 What?

Speaker 27 Him?

Speaker 18 The guy who took Michael's place?

Speaker 34 That's who the counterparty is backing.

Speaker 34 The emergency election is being held in two weeks.

Speaker 34 I can't deal with all of this at the same time. I just can't.

Speaker 18 You've done enough, CJ.

Speaker 30 Thank you.

Speaker 18 You focus on what you have to do, okay?

Speaker 6 I

Speaker 26 will take care of this.

Speaker 26 Oh,

Speaker 18 if this has any possible way to lead us to Nick and Vera, I will see it through.

Speaker 18 Okay.

Speaker 18 Thank you, Pegg.

Speaker 18 Honestly, it feels like you're the last one on my side here.

Speaker 34 Look, I'm sorry. I

Speaker 23 gotta go.

Speaker 19 Good luck.

Speaker 34 You too.

Speaker 27 Dean?

Speaker 11 Anything good?

Speaker 23 Maybe.

Speaker 21 Whoa.

Speaker 18 Is that it?

Speaker 25 A real ring.

Speaker 11 Please be careful with this.

Speaker 11 Wow.

Speaker 24 It's beautiful.

Speaker 24 Such ornate detail.

Speaker 11 It was my grandmother's. Naomi Blackburn.

Speaker 18 Are those eyes?

Speaker 23 Uh-huh.

Speaker 11 Blackburns are all about not being seen. And three represents each of the families.

Speaker 30 So heavy.

Speaker 11 Like I said, super special. One of a kind.

Speaker 11 Now, can I put it back?

Speaker 11 Thank you.

Speaker 11 What did CJ want on the phone?

Speaker 27 Dean,

Speaker 18 can I trust you?

Speaker 11 I mean, I pretty much just handed you our most sacred possession.

Speaker 24 I think that's. But you.

Speaker 24 Look, you want me to trust you.

Speaker 13 Yeah, of course.

Speaker 26 And you have connections.

Speaker 30 You can pull strings.

Speaker 15 Why?

Speaker 11 What does that mean? What do I have to do?

Speaker 18 I need you to get something.

Speaker 18 Something

Speaker 14 big.

Speaker 11 Is this what you had in mind?

Speaker 22 Wow.

Speaker 22 She's gorgeous.

Speaker 21 I'm a scratch on her.

Speaker 18 You sure this can make it there?

Speaker 23 Uh-huh.

Speaker 11 Right up on this model. The Malibu Meridian has a range of a thousand nautical miles.
It's the only plane in Westport's fleet that could possibly go that far.

Speaker 11 But even then, this will only make it one way. You'd have to find a fuel source after you land, and I don't think you're going to.

Speaker 21 Then,

Speaker 24 whatever happens,

Speaker 18 I'll just have to find some other way back.

Speaker 11 Are you sure you can even fly this? How long has it been since you've been behind the sticks?

Speaker 26 Years.

Speaker 26 But

Speaker 12 I remember it all.

Speaker 18 I spent enough time with my dad in the cockpit, and he actually flew something similar to this. Maybe even a bit bigger.

Speaker 11 But are you sure you want to?

Speaker 11 You don't even know if there's anything still there, and Michael's records could be years old.

Speaker 23 I have to try.

Speaker 18 And honestly, why not? It's not like there's anything left for me here.

Speaker 18 I...

Speaker 24 I have a feeling that this is where Michael wanted me to go.

Speaker 32 Alright then.

Speaker 11 If you're so sure,

Speaker 11 I guess I'm going with you.

Speaker 21 What?

Speaker 11 You can't go by yourself. That would seriously be nuts.

Speaker 18 But I thought you said you have to stay here and monitor stuff.

Speaker 11 Ah, my mom can take care of keeping an eye on things here.

Speaker 14 Trust me.

Speaker 11 And I will not be left behind again.

Speaker 11 I swore that I'd protect you, so where you go, I go.

Speaker 24 Well, what if I don't want you to come?

Speaker 11 If you're serious about finding Nick and dealing with whatever might be there after you land, you won't want to do that alone. I've been trained as a guardian and as part of the family.

Speaker 11 You need me for this.

Speaker 11 You don't even handle guns, right?

Speaker 23 Fine, you can come along.

Speaker 18 But you have to listen to me. That means everything I say.
No exceptions. Got it.

Speaker 11 You're in charge.

Speaker 11 So, when do you want to go?

Speaker 18 When's the earliest we can fly out?

Speaker 11 I mean, might be able to scrounge up some fake orders, but uh, you'd want to leave under the cover of darkness.

Speaker 26 So, then tonight.

Speaker 3 That's soon?

Speaker 17 I mean, it's possible, but what about,

Speaker 15 you know, Michael's funeral?

Speaker 11 Won't they wonder why you're gone?

Speaker 24 Michael would want it this way.

Speaker 26 Can you do it?

Speaker 11 If that's what you want, there are ways to make it happen.

Speaker 11 But

Speaker 11 couldn't you just ask CJ for all this?

Speaker 18 She's in no position to hand out favors right now. We have to do this ourselves.

Speaker 11 Okay, then. Tonight, I'll get my things ready and put in a requisition order for supplies and weapons.
Never know what's gonna be out there when we land.

Speaker 23 No, we really don't.

Speaker 11 Do you honestly think that's where Nick might have gone for all this time? What would this director even want him for?

Speaker 32 Well,

Speaker 18 just as Vera had a secret, so does Nick.

Speaker 11 Hmm, yeah, his immunity. Or, you know, whatever.

Speaker 30 He told you?

Speaker 11 I know enough.

Speaker 16 Oh.

Speaker 18 Of course he did.

Speaker 24 Michael always warned about someone trying to use that against Nick.

Speaker 18 Exploit what made him special.

Speaker 11 Is that what you believe?

Speaker 20 After all this,

Speaker 18 I mean, I'm starting to.

Speaker 24 If anyone else knew about Nick's gift,

Speaker 18 I think his life would truly be in danger.

Speaker 9 Shit.

Speaker 36 Nick's gonna be out of range of our life scanners soon.

Speaker 22 And he still hasn't changed.

Speaker 17 Even a little.

Speaker 36 You never know. The infection may take more time to kick in.

Speaker 22 I don't think so. I've got a feeling about this one.

Speaker 22 If there's one good thing to come of this disaster, Nicholas's immunity would make it all worth worth it.

Speaker 20 You serious?

Speaker 10 How?

Speaker 22 Can you get to him?

Speaker 13 Out there with all these things running around?

Speaker 36 Even if he is immune, I don't think he's gonna make it much further.

Speaker 36 Hmm.

Speaker 22 But what about that blood sample we took? Do we still have it?

Speaker 20 Yeah, and cold storage, but it's not gonna last long.

Speaker 35 Then get it.

Speaker 22 Keep it cool. And take the sample down to the Chancellor right away.
That's now your top priority.

Speaker 20 Really?

Speaker 36 And how do you expect me to do that exactly?

Speaker 22 Take one of my private planes. They should be fueled up and ready to go.
I'll radio ahead for a pilot.

Speaker 37 What?

Speaker 37 You're not coming?

Speaker 22 No.

Speaker 22 I still have a company of loyal people held up in the barn. I spent too much time building this place to lose it now.

Speaker 14 Well, all right then.

Speaker 36 That's what you want.

Speaker 20 I guess I'll be seeing you.

Speaker 22 I'll send a message on what to do next once you're there. But getting that sample to the Chancellor as fast as you can is the most important thing right now.

Speaker 22 Whatever Nicholas is, may be exactly what we've been searching for.

Speaker 38 Good luck.

Speaker 9 We'll be back after a brief word from our sponsors.

Speaker 1 Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for the team today?

Speaker 2 It was the new game day scratchers from the California Lottery. Play is everything.
Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

Speaker 5 Are you saying it was the off-field play that made the difference on the field?

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

Speaker 6 Coach, one more question.

Speaker 7 Play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams Scratchers from the California Lottery.

Speaker 8 A little play can make your day.

Speaker 7 Please play responsibly. Must be 18 years or older to purchase, play, or claim.

Speaker 9 And now, we continue with Descendants.

Speaker 9 Will!

Speaker 35 Will, are you in there?

Speaker 35 Please tell me you're okay.

Speaker 6 Hello?

Speaker 40 Let me in!

Speaker 37 Shit! It's locked!

Speaker 8 Who's out there?

Speaker 40 It's Alvin!

Speaker 35 There any guards?

Speaker 35 No!

Speaker 35 But they have the door chained!

Speaker 33 Let me find a rock!

Speaker 17 Wait!

Speaker 15 No, I have this!

Speaker 33 Okay, maybe I don't.

Speaker 4 Wh where where's the lock at on the door?

Speaker 41 Can you tell me exactly where?

Speaker 40 Uh, it's um

Speaker 33 it's about five finger widths centered above the doorknob.

Speaker 6 Why?

Speaker 35 Stand to the side. Way back.

Speaker 8 What are you going to do?

Speaker 6 Clear!

Speaker 25 You got it!

Speaker 29 How did you do that?

Speaker 41 I'd say it was a successful test of the Matagun pistol.

Speaker 35 Get in in here.

Speaker 41 What are you carrying? Uh, a briefcase?

Speaker 33 Uh, just my papers. I had a feeling you'd still be here.
Everything's going nuts outside.

Speaker 41 I know. I've-I've been watching on the monitors.
I-I tapped into the camera system.

Speaker 33 So then you saw what happened at the stadium?

Speaker 12 Uh-huh.

Speaker 41 G good job.

Speaker 41 You were right about Fredo.

Speaker 33 Are those monsters still going at it?

Speaker 41 They've slowed down a bit. Neither can get the upper hand.
But

Speaker 41 there's something else I think you need to see.

Speaker 25 Nicholas?

Speaker 33 He's out of the stadium.

Speaker 41 That's not all.

Speaker 33 Watch this.

Speaker 33 Oh no.

Speaker 33 He was bitten by a skinwalker?

Speaker 42 Just a matter of time.

Speaker 33 And this is him now?

Speaker 33 This This is live?

Speaker 41 It doesn't seem to be affecting him much.

Speaker 41 Must be one of those slow turners.

Speaker 6 Maybe not.

Speaker 33 This would confirm it.

Speaker 33 This would make sense of everything.

Speaker 32 What do you mean?

Speaker 33 Someone I worked for, the director, said there were others that were immune. They were the one who sent me to find these very important documents.

Speaker 41 Your papers.

Speaker 33 Where is this right now? Where is Nicholas?

Speaker 41 Still over by the stadium. Doesn't look like he has any weapons on him.
Nothing. He's a sitting duck.

Speaker 33 Then Nick's in real danger now.

Speaker 33 This is the barn currently?

Speaker 3 Uh-uh.

Speaker 33 Boar is gathering her pack.

Speaker 33 Those troops will be sent in soon, and

Speaker 33 this place will end up just as it was before.

Speaker 33 That wasn't enough infected to make a difference.

Speaker 20 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 42 What the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 33 You know, Prim inside and out, right? Would you be able to get Nick out of here, away from the city?

Speaker 41 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 41 That's a long way to that side of the city.

Speaker 33 They can't have Nick. Promise me, you'll help him.
And then you and him get out of here.

Speaker 41 You're serious?

Speaker 33 More than you'll ever know.

Speaker 33 And take my papers with you, please.

Speaker 21 What?

Speaker 35 Take them where?

Speaker 33 To the director. Nick needs to go there, too.
They will know what to do with him next. I'll draw you a map.

Speaker 35 I'm not carrying these with me.

Speaker 24 I might as well just stand them.

Speaker 41 It'd be a lot easier.

Speaker 23 Well,

Speaker 33 that would have been a lot more handy than carrying them around.

Speaker 33 Technology, right?

Speaker 41 Wait, so what are you going to do?

Speaker 33 Can you give me access to all the entrance and exit points in the infected paddocks? Heartland, Winter Wonderland, all of them?

Speaker 24 Sure, I mean, I can write the code, but you have to run it from infected management.

Speaker 33 I can do that.

Speaker 24 Wait, well, you're going to let all of them out?

Speaker 33 It's the only way to be certain. Once you're clear, I can make sure this place will never be as it once was.

Speaker 23 Well, why don't you help Nick?

Speaker 15 You know more about all this.

Speaker 33 This is bigger than us now.

Speaker 33 You know how to get him out of Prim. He needs that more than anything.
And me,

Speaker 33 I'll be honest.

Speaker 33 I'm more of a follower.

Speaker 33 Good. It's done.
Take that with you, and keep it safe. Those papers may seem like gibberish, but they're not.

Speaker 30 Well, I guess the mod of pistols will have to get field texted.

Speaker 21 Oh boy,

Speaker 42 I don't know if I'm ready for this.

Speaker 41 You don't have any stardust with you, do you?

Speaker 41 Or know where some is?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 33 No, I don't. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, but he will need you.
Nick is more important than anything else. You have to believe me.

Speaker 23 All right, all right.

Speaker 23 Okay. Uh-huh.

Speaker 23 Okay, but

Speaker 41 put this USB stick in the infective management terminal.

Speaker 42 It'll do the rest.

Speaker 33 Thank you, Will.

Speaker 41 Once you open those doors, I

Speaker 41 don't know if you'll be able to make it very far after that.

Speaker 20 Are you sure about this?

Speaker 33 I felt for a long time like something in this place has been my purpose. Now I know what that is.

Speaker 31 If you say so,

Speaker 41 I can escort you part of the way. The rest is up to you.

Speaker 33 How much time do you need to get out of here with Nick?

Speaker 41 From there,

Speaker 41 about 30 minutes.

Speaker 33 In 35, I'll run this code and unleash hell.

Speaker 33 You and him better be out of here by then.

Speaker 33 Damn it!

Speaker 21 Shit burns.

Speaker 21 That's it?

Speaker 19 That's it?

Speaker 25 Nothing else.

Speaker 33 Nothing else, right? right?

Speaker 33 It still

Speaker 35 feels like me.

Speaker 37 I'm I'm me.

Speaker 10 I'm immune.

Speaker 37 I can't be turned.

Speaker 21 Son of a...

Speaker 36 Where did he go?

Speaker 21 Where the fuck are you, Vincent?

Speaker 19 Where did you take her, you bastard?

Speaker 19 What?

Speaker 35 is that you?

Speaker 35 Guess this shit in all this dust.

Speaker 35 Where are you?

Speaker 35 Damn.

Speaker 37 What do we got here?

Speaker 17 You don't look so hot.

Speaker 10 What

Speaker 17 can you

Speaker 15 Can you get up?

Speaker 15 No.

Speaker 35 Shit.

Speaker 35 Do I gotta carry you?

Speaker 14 Maybe.

Speaker 35 Fine, fine, whatever.

Speaker 37 But I don't even bother with you.

Speaker 25 What the fuck happened?

Speaker 35 Vincent. Vincent?

Speaker 36 Did this sue you?

Speaker 14 Dart?

Speaker 14 Fuck.

Speaker 35 I bet that's how we got Vera. Fucking traitor.

Speaker 35 You know, this one word shit that you're doing is starting to sound a lot like that.

Speaker 35 No.

Speaker 35 Look, where did they go? Do you know where they went?

Speaker 35 Fly?

Speaker 17 Fly?

Speaker 37 As in they're gonna try to fly out of here?

Speaker 37 Yes.

Speaker 32 Shit.

Speaker 35 You got any other weapons? I'm out of rounds. I got nothing on me.

Speaker 35 No.

Speaker 35 Well, that's fucking great.

Speaker 35 Is this dark thing gonna last long?

Speaker 35 Maybe.

Speaker 37 Well, maybe.

Speaker 35 I should leave your ass behind. After everything that you did.

Speaker 35 Please.

Speaker 37 Dumb. Yeah.

Speaker 15 Alright. Whatever.

Speaker 35 Well, good. Because I gotta catch up with that punk-ass bitch traitor, Vincent.

Speaker 35 What did he do?

Speaker 20 This.

Speaker 11 And he took Veritu.

Speaker 40 I don't know why, but his ass is grass.

Speaker 42 I don't know if we'll have time to do both.

Speaker 41 We need to get out of this city, like, now.

Speaker 21 Why?

Speaker 41 Alvin, he's going to open the doors on all the infected enclosures.

Speaker 37 Let them out?

Speaker 25 What the fuck?

Speaker 41 Burn the city down to the ground.

Speaker 35 Yeah, that'll do it.

Speaker 35 Look, my friends, they're headed to meet us outside of the walls.

Speaker 41 Hopefully they can get far enough away and we'll have time to warn them.

Speaker 35 Air strip first.

Speaker 37 I have to try.

Speaker 24 And we gotta hurry.

Speaker 24 Come on.

Speaker 43 Alright, I'm gonna push the throttle all the way. Hold on to something.

Speaker 11 What? That's it?

Speaker 31 As fast as it goes, I guess.

Speaker 20 Whoa, this thing's weird.

Speaker 13 Makes me feel like I'm at Disneyland or some shit.

Speaker 43 Well, the monorail is the safest way to get around right now. Stay above the chaos.

Speaker 6 Really? Let's you see everything from up here, too?

Speaker 12 So high up.

Speaker 22 The whole city's gone crazy.

Speaker 36 Well, what did you expect after what happened?

Speaker 39 You wanted this, right?

Speaker 20 Careful what you wish for.

Speaker 43 Sure is gonna make things difficult getting out of here.

Speaker 11 The monorail will take us to the front gate, right? Then we can head to the rally point from there, right?

Speaker 43 To that tree by the tunnel you mentioned.

Speaker 31 I'm just gonna be glad to be out of this awful city.

Speaker 14 Look at all of it.

Speaker 12 I didn't get a good look before.

Speaker 14 Damn, this place is huge.

Speaker 41 Just think about all the people that died making it that way.

Speaker 41 Today,

Speaker 31 what about the captives?

Speaker 20 We promised to get them out to contact Westport.

Speaker 11 A friend is helping free them. We got it covered.

Speaker 11 Damn.

Speaker 39 She didn't need our help at all.

Speaker 12 Well,

Speaker 37 I mean, you helped a little.

Speaker 11 There's no way we could have gotten a stadium open.

Speaker 37 I can't believe you all came here.

Speaker 11 How did you ever find us?

Speaker 43 Pieced it together from your crash site. And we got a bit lucky at the same time.

Speaker 31 Are you sure the captives are safe?

Speaker 5 Look at the camps over there.

Speaker 31 The place is burning. Dod.

Speaker 11 Oh, no. Glory must be in trouble.

Speaker 15 Gloria?

Speaker 35 Who's that?

Speaker 11 It's a long story.

Speaker 1 Hell of a firefight going on.

Speaker 35 Does not look good.

Speaker 11 A bunch of people are cut off from the tunnels.

Speaker 25 We need to help her.

Speaker 12 Wait, wait, what?

Speaker 11 Not all of us.

Speaker 37 Dot and I can get off. There's a stop coming up.

Speaker 11 Are you sure? We can handle this.

Speaker 17 Trust me.

Speaker 11 You all keep moving to the entrance. But are you guys gonna be okay on your own?

Speaker 12 Are we gonna be okay?

Speaker 20 Boy, do you know who you're talking to?

Speaker 11 Yeah, an 80-year-old former Marine.

Speaker 12 Hey, once a Marine?

Speaker 14 Always a Marine.

Speaker 43 There's gonna be so many fleeing this city, I doubt we're gonna have problems blending in.

Speaker 11 Then you'll be fine.

Speaker 25 But those people need our help.

Speaker 31 There's hundreds still there.

Speaker 29 Shouldn't we all go?

Speaker 37 You don't have any body armor.

Speaker 11 We have training, and we were just there. It'd be better if we go.

Speaker 31 Todd, Todd,

Speaker 11 he's right.

Speaker 25 Yeah, we're not equipped for that.

Speaker 25 Well, then, uh.

Speaker 13 This is your stop, Alex. This is where you get off.

Speaker 33 We'll see you at the rally point.

Speaker 22 Tree.

Speaker 12 Well, that's a new one.

Speaker 29 Hey, she's trying.

Speaker 43 Okay, slowing down. Ready?

Speaker 35 We'll see you soon.

Speaker 35 Proud of you, kid.

Speaker 11 Thanks, Bert.

Speaker 33 Now get the hell out of here.

Speaker 20 That kid's come a long way.

Speaker 19 They all have.

Speaker 12 Whoa.

Speaker 15 Look up ahead.

Speaker 36 A bunch of planes are taking off.

Speaker 43 Getting the hell out of Dodge.

Speaker 31 Must be coming from the S-trip we drove by when we came in.

Speaker 39 This place has everything.

Speaker 13 It's too bad it's as fucked up as it is.

Speaker 12 Uh-oh.

Speaker 35 What is it?

Speaker 43 Another monorail has stopped on the tracks at the next station.

Speaker 24 Can we go around?

Speaker 36 Kelly, it's a monorail.

Speaker 36 That means one track.

Speaker 12 You never know.

Speaker 30 There could be another one right alongside of it.

Speaker 31 You're just not seeing it.

Speaker 43 Hang on, we're gonna have to stop.

Speaker 12 Damn it.

Speaker 39 What station is this?

Speaker 12 Um.

Speaker 12 Oh, shit.

Speaker 6 We're coming up on the barn.

Speaker 36 Maybe we can get off this monorail car and get onto the other.

Speaker 24 That's kind of what I meant.

Speaker 24 Here's hoping.

Speaker 20 Station's clear.

Speaker 39 Nobody's here.

Speaker 36 Right, then let's hurry.

Speaker 25 Get into the other one.

Speaker 31 Well, I don't think it's going to matter.

Speaker 19 Holy shit. What happened to the track?

Speaker 42 It's completely gone.

Speaker 43 Something must have damaged it from below.

Speaker 17 Took out the pillar.

Speaker 43 Well, looks like we go on foot from here.

Speaker 20 Just great.

Speaker 10 Wait,

Speaker 20 this is perfect. We're at the barn, right? Shirley is right upstairs.

Speaker 21 What?

Speaker 24 But we don't have time for that.

Speaker 20 We only got the two pistols and your bow.

Speaker 14 We could use something of a heavier caliber.

Speaker 12 You never know what we're gonna encounter.

Speaker 24 You just wanna get your gun, admit it.

Speaker 13 Well, of course, but we really could use it.

Speaker 38 I mean, we're already like on the eighth floor or whatever.

Speaker 13 It's not much further to the penthouse.

Speaker 31 We need to get out of here as fast as we can. You understand that, right?

Speaker 25 What if we gotta put a big-ass hole in something, or someone, to escape?

Speaker 20 Why rush into death if we can put up a better fight?

Speaker 43 He's got a point.

Speaker 40 Thank you. Really?

Speaker 43 But the sooner we move, the better. Burke, I'm going with you.

Speaker 43 The rest of you stay here, holed up in the depot. The penthouse isn't far.
We'll be back shortly.

Speaker 39 In and out, I promise. And to be honest, I don't want to leave Shirley behind with these freaks.

Speaker 36 She's not the original, you know that.

Speaker 20 She's still irreplaceable.

Speaker 6 It's not worth arguing with him.

Speaker 20 Exactly.

Speaker 20 She knows.

Speaker 43 Here, Kelly, take one of the pistols, we'll take the other.

Speaker 43 Stay safe, all right?

Speaker 35 All right, I guess.

Speaker 25 You're giving it to her?

Speaker 31 She made the right choice.

Speaker 35 Whatever.

Speaker 35 Just go.

Speaker 19 Hurry up.

Speaker 20 Thank you.

Speaker 43 Was taking longer to argue at that point. Then you'd be whining about it the whole way home.

Speaker 20 You're probably right.

Speaker 43 You okay? One more flight?

Speaker 15 Yeah,

Speaker 25 it's been a while since I did some step aerobics.

Speaker 43 Yeah, well, you better pick it up. We're running out of time.

Speaker 12 Yeah, yeah, I'm coming.

Speaker 15 This is it.

Speaker 13 That bastard seal would have left my gun in the room where they were holding us.

Speaker 13 Clear.

Speaker 13 End of the hall.

Speaker 13 That's where Shirley will most likely be.

Speaker 15 Hello there,

Speaker 32 Bert

Speaker 10 Mira.

Speaker 13 Oh, shit.

Speaker 14 Hello, Boar.

Speaker 36 We're alive.

Speaker 9 Descendants will return next week.

Speaker 1 Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for the team today?

Speaker 2 It was the new game Day Scratchers from the California Lottery. Play is everything.
Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

Speaker 5 Are you saying it was the off-field play that made the difference on the field?

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

Speaker 6 Coach, one more question.

Speaker 7 Play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams Scratchers from the California Lottery.
