We’re Alive: Descendants - Chapter 10 - Caged Beasts - Part 2 of 2
The sun rises in Primm. Nick, Vincent, and Vera prepare for the Stomping Grounds. The Boar holds her cards close to the chest. Pegs demands to hear the truth, despite the risks.
18 years after the original STORY OF SURVIVAL, a new generation is forced to grow up in the post-apocalypse. The Infected have evolved into new deadly varieties, and humanity’s efforts to reclaim our lost civilization have put us in conflict with our greatest enemy: Ourselves. Now the countdown begins as the children of the survivors work to make sense of this deadly new world before it consumes them and everything they know and love.

Speaker 1 It's third down.
Speaker 2 Did you see the game last night? Of course you did, because you used Instacart to do your grocery restock. Plus, you got snacks for the game, all without missing a single play.
Speaker 2
And that's on multitasking. So we're not saying that Instacart is a hack for game day, but it might be the ultimate play this football season.

There's the part of me that everyone sees. I'm Howie Mandel, the comedian.
Apparently, I know what funny is. Funny bought me a house, but I also know what isn't funny, OCD.
Speaker 3 I've lived with OCD my entire life and people throw the term around like it's no big deal. But OCD is severe, often debilitating.
Speaker 3 It's a mental health condition that involves unrelented, unwanted thoughts that can make you question your character, your beliefs, even your safety.
Speaker 3 General therapy can help with some things, but for OCD, it can actually make things worse. That's why I want to tell you about No CD.
Speaker 3 No CD is the world's largest treatment provider for OCD and is covered by insurance for over 155 million Americans. Their licensed therapists specialize in ERP, the most effective treatment for OCD.
Speaker 3 If you think you might be struggling with OCD, go to NOCD.com to book a free 15-minute call. They are here to help.

Speaker 8 Caged Beasts
Speaker 8 Part 2 of Two
Speaker 9 Careful now.
Speaker 10 Here, watch your step.
Speaker 10 I told you to watch your footing.
Speaker 11 I know.
Speaker 11 But geez, this is a lot of stairs.
Speaker 6 Well, there has to be.
Speaker 9 We had to make it tall enough.
Speaker 9 But
Speaker 12 here it is.
Speaker 13 Whoa.
Speaker 11 Wait, it's done?
Speaker 14 Yep.
Speaker 12 All of it.
Speaker 9 The entire perimeter wall of Westport.
Speaker 9 Wow.
Speaker 15 That's incredible.
Speaker 12 You finished.
Speaker 9 Yeah, it only took 13 years and a couple thousand workers.
Speaker 11 But it is incredible.
Speaker 9 You know, I never thought we'd get it done.
Speaker 16 But here we are.
Speaker 9 Over a hundred miles of concrete and steel.
Speaker 9 I don't see how any infected could get into Westport now.
Speaker 9 Or anyone else, for that matter.
Speaker 11 Michael, I am so proud of you.
Speaker 6 Thanks.
Speaker 9 It seemed impossible when we started.
Speaker 9 But you know what? Now that it's done,
Speaker 12 I think I'm done.
Speaker 11 You're done?
Speaker 11 What does that mean?
Speaker 9 Retirement.
Speaker 9 It's about time.
Speaker 9 I'll stay on the council, but only in part.
Speaker 9 I mean, I know I'm not that old, but I put on a hell of a lot of miles on this old bot of mine.
Speaker 11 You're serious.
Speaker 11 You're not just going to find some other hobby or job to do next week.
Speaker 9 Well, sure, sure. There's other things I need to focus on now.
Speaker 13 But at home,
Speaker 9 Nick's 14 and is going to have the option to start training soon. And, well,
Speaker 9 I think it's time we told him everything.
Speaker 12 Really?
Speaker 19 Are you sure?
Speaker 9
And you know, Tanya said to tell him about his parents when he was ready. Maybe now that the wall is done, I can.
I can be there for him a little more.
Speaker 12 And for you, as well.
Speaker 12
Well, don't worry about me. I'm totally fine.
I'm low maintenance.
Speaker 10 I'm sorry, it sounded vaguely like you said you're low maintenance.
Speaker 12 Is that possible?
Speaker 12 You?
Speaker 12 Hey, you know what?
Speaker 11 You're right. I'm not low maintenance because as far as you're concerned, I am a princess.
Speaker 13 Yes, that you are.
Speaker 12 Hey, uh,
Speaker 13 you know, uh,
Speaker 9 there was, uh, there was another, another reason I brought you up here.
Speaker 11 Not just to enjoy the view?
Speaker 14 Nope.
Speaker 9 Uh, I've been I've been thinking a lot about us lately,
Speaker 9 our little family, and doing some soul searching, and
Speaker 9 and I
Speaker 9 think I'm ready.
Speaker 9 You're
Speaker 11 you're not
Speaker 11 Michael.
Speaker 12 Oh my god! Oh my god!
Speaker 9 I should have done this a long time ago.
Speaker 3 Will you- Yes!
Speaker 22 Yes!
Speaker 13 Yes, of course! Yes! Yes!
Speaker 11 Oh my god, I really thought you would never ask. Like, really? Like, never, never in a million years.
Speaker 12 I've given up.
Speaker 23 I love you, Pegs.
Speaker 12 I love you too, Michael.
Speaker 12 Okay, well.
Speaker 8 All right, so...
Speaker 9 Come on, it's cold up here. Let's go home and share the news with Nicholas.
Speaker 11 And Kelly, and Bert, and Riley and oh, you know, nobody, nobody's going to believe me. If I didn't have this ring, nobody would believe me.
Speaker 11 So, what's the ceremony going to be like? Are we going to have one at all?
Speaker 12 Is it going to be big or small?
Speaker 8 You know, I haven't thought about that much.
Speaker 12 What? How could you not have thought about it?
Speaker 9 Uh, well, I've been a little busy building a wall.
Speaker 11 Well, now that you're retiring, you can focus on this, right?
Speaker 17 All wedding, all the time.
Speaker 12 Wink, wink.
Speaker 9 Oh boy, I'm regretting this already.
Speaker 11 I knew it.
Speaker 12 I knew it. I'm kidding.
Speaker 24 I'm kidding, of course.
Speaker 11 You better be.
Speaker 9 But we got time.
Speaker 9 We have our whole lives ahead of us.
Speaker 9 Peggs
Speaker 9 Peggs
Speaker 12 Pegs
Speaker 12 What
Speaker 25 I hate to ask this, but
Speaker 25 the doctor wants to know what to do with
Speaker 12 Michael.
Speaker 12 With him?
Speaker 25 How should they take care of his
Speaker 12 body?
Speaker 12 Oh.
Speaker 12 I
Speaker 16 don't know.
Speaker 24 I don't know how to deal with any of this.
Speaker 25 Look, you don't have to right now.
Speaker 25 I can help.
Speaker 13 No.
Speaker 11 You have more than enough to do.
Speaker 25 I do, but
Speaker 25 I want to be there for you.
Speaker 25 Peggs, I am
Speaker 15 so,
Speaker 15 so sorry.
Speaker 12 It's 3 a.m.
Speaker 11 I know you have to go. It's okay.
Speaker 25 Part of me has been preparing for this.
Speaker 11 Honestly, I never expected to talk to him again.
Speaker 27 At the very least, I got to do that
Speaker 11 one last time.
Speaker 12 CJ,
Speaker 11 what Michael said before
Speaker 25 about what's in his desk and I've already got someone going through his things in the office. The minute we find something,
Speaker 16 you'll know.
Speaker 25 Thanks.
Speaker 25 Please, if you need anything at all, you go ahead and call me.
Speaker 15 President or not, I'm always here for you.
Speaker 13 Okay?
Speaker 14 I know.
Speaker 16 Go home.
Speaker 25 Get some rest if you can.
Speaker 26 CJ, we're going to be late to the press conference.
Speaker 12 Would you give me a break, please?
Speaker 26 It's best we get a statement out now, rather than later, and get ahead of this.
Speaker 13 She's clear.
Speaker 18 Floor is free.
Speaker 28 Hey, Pegs.
Speaker 28 Do you want us to take you home? Your own home, maybe?
Speaker 29 Or you could still stay with us. Whatever you need.
Speaker 21 Dean and I can help.
Speaker 11 You know what I want?
Speaker 12 Ruth.
Speaker 13 And Dean?
Speaker 11 What I need is for you to tell me what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 11 Not some half-truth or I can't say or dancing around the topic because I am done.
Speaker 11 And if there is anything you are holding back or not telling me, so help me, I will do everything in my power to make sure you feel every bit of pain that I am dealing with right now.
Speaker 12 I don't care what time it is or what other excuses you have.
Speaker 22 I fucking want my son back, and I will not let you get in the way of that.
Speaker 13 Mom?
Speaker 29 All right, Pegs.
Speaker 29 I will tell you what you want to know.
Speaker 29 But we can't do this here.
Speaker 12 All right, Ruth.
Speaker 11 Start talking.
Speaker 21 Mom, are you sure about this?
Speaker 29 We don't have a choice. At this point, she deserves to know.
Speaker 20 Yeah, damn right I do.
Speaker 11 What are you waiting for? You're both a part of the families, aren't you?
Speaker 20 Aren't you?
Speaker 29 Yes.
Speaker 29 Dean is only attached by Blood, Bloodborne. He's not a full member yet, but Mira and I are.
Speaker 11 What does that even mean?
Speaker 28 Pegs already knows about Latch and Scratch, and a few others.
Speaker 11 Just tell me why you're here.
Speaker 28 I said we were here to protect her. Let your mother speak, okay?
Speaker 21 Okay.
Speaker 29
You know bits and pieces about who we are, but there's a lot more to it. We have to live in secret.
It's how we've been able to exist for hundreds of years.
Speaker 15 Hundreds?
Speaker 29 And those others, Dean mentioned?
Speaker 29
You've known a lot of bad members, ones who've misused their positions. But we're not all the same.
Many of us are very different.
Speaker 28 See, there's not just one family, there's three.
Speaker 28 The Amsels, the Blackburns, and the Chisholms.
Speaker 29
Each household has their own tree and hierarchy. Even a few variations and surnames within their own families.
I'm from Blackburn, and Mira is from Amsel.
Speaker 11 What does any of this have to do with why you're here?
Speaker 29
I'm getting to that. We all follow strict codes and rules to protect ourselves and one another.
Telling someone outside the family about us is against one of those rules.
Speaker 12 Well, fuck your rules.
Speaker 29 Look, I need you to know that I'm making a big exception here. What I tell you can be used against us, and maybe even you.
Speaker 29 You have to swear you'll keep this between us.
Speaker 29 Fine.
Speaker 20 Fine.
Speaker 28 Pegs, at the hospital, did you tell CJ what we talked about before?
Speaker 12 No.
Speaker 11 I was a little busy with Michael.
Speaker 11 You know what happened to him, don't you?
Speaker 29 We don't have any knowledge about who attacked Michael.
Speaker 16 But
Speaker 29 we do think it might have been someone from the families.
Speaker 11 I knew you weren't telling me everything.
Speaker 11 Why do you think that?
Speaker 29 The knives.
Speaker 29 Family members are trained in a lot of forms of combat.
Speaker 29 Killing with those is one of them.
Speaker 29 By the way it was done and then after what Michael said about Angel.
Speaker 11 Angel Tenuto was a family member, but
Speaker 28 he's been dead for what over 17 years now maybe it was someone meant to look like him a disguise to frame someone else we don't know
Speaker 12 But
Speaker 11 but why would anyone want to kill Michael
Speaker 29 if a family member is murdered a vendetta is established Where the family can't move on until whoever is responsible for their death is brought to justice
Speaker 29 another Another one of our many rules.
Speaker 12 Oh.
Speaker 28 We think someone might have blamed Michael for Angel's death.
Speaker 14 Wait.
Speaker 11
Angel was killed by scratch. It's written in one of the journals.
Lizzie wrote about it. I can show you.
Speaker 29 We know.
Speaker 29 Michael wasn't truly responsible, so his killing would never have been a true vendetta. But that doesn't mean someone inside the family isn't acting on their own.
Speaker 28
That's why we've been watching you. We're trying to make sure whoever did it can't attack again.
It's why we were hanging around Michael at the hospital, too.
Speaker 29 We weren't expecting him to be attacked.
Speaker 29 That caught us by surprise.
Speaker 24 So,
Speaker 11 if you're not involved with any of that,
Speaker 11 then why are you here? You've been living here for years.
Speaker 29 Actually, we were sent to Westport to watch over someone else.
Speaker 14 Nick?
Speaker 28 No.
Speaker 21 Vera.
Speaker 12 Wait.
Speaker 12 Why her?
Speaker 29 She's the daughter of a very high-ranking family member, Oliver Blackburn.
Speaker 29 Some might know him as Jeremy.
Speaker 29 He sent us to keep an eye on Vera.
Speaker 12 But
Speaker 11 then you lost her.
Speaker 28 I know.
Speaker 28
I should have gone on that mission with them. But it could have blown my cover.
And
Speaker 28 Vera wasn't our only task. I was also supposed to keep a tab on what goes on here in Westport.
Speaker 11 Then you're a spy.
Speaker 28 Well, not exactly. I was just keeping tabs on things.
Speaker 11 That is exactly what spies do.
Speaker 28 It's more than that.
Speaker 29 We're here to help you, Pegs.
Speaker 29 That's it. We're on your side.
Speaker 29 You can trust us.
Speaker 22 Like, that will ever happen.
Speaker 11 Especially after one of your people just killed Michael.
Speaker 11 You lied about being friends with Nick, about everything else, all to get closer to what you want, and you seriously expect me not to tell anyone about this.
Speaker 28
I am Nick's friend. I didn't lie to anybody about that.
Just because we live in secret doesn't mean we don't care. We aren't some evil mafia like out of the movies.
Speaker 29 Why do you think we were sent to look after Vera? To this day, I know Oliver Oliver still cares for CJ and has risked so much to try and protect both of them and this place.
Speaker 28 And we're actively trying to bring Nick and Vera home safely with every resource we have.
Speaker 29 My own wife left to help find them, and I haven't heard from her since.
Speaker 29
We have made every sacrifice possible to protect you and bring these kids home. Our backgrounds might be different, but we are with you in this fight.
I swear it.
Speaker 19 This is.
Speaker 11 This is all so crazy.
Speaker 29 I'll tell you whatever else you want.
Speaker 29 But only because you swore to keep everything to yourself.
Speaker 29 No one can ever know about this.
Speaker 4 Ever.
Speaker 25 Not even CJ?
Speaker 11 She's Vera's mother.
Speaker 29 No one.
Speaker 29 If Oliver eventually wants to tell her, that's up to him. He's within the rules to do so now that Vera is of age.
Speaker 11 And because Vera's dad is part of the family, she is too?
Speaker 29 Blood is the strongest bond within the families. It's how you can guarantee trust.
Speaker 11 So that's how it works for you, Dean.
Speaker 28 I am blood-born, like Vera, not a full member yet. There are more steps to get there.
Speaker 28 But Vera's a little different than me.
Speaker 12 How?
Speaker 28 Her dad is the current head of all three families.
Speaker 28 It makes her practically royalty.
Speaker 14 Really?
Speaker 11 Is that why you were sent to protect her?
Speaker 11 But from who?
Speaker 29 The families don't always get along like they should.
Speaker 29 Infighting or whatever. Especially near the top.
Speaker 11 What does that have to do with Vera?
Speaker 29 Bloodlines and power are usually mixed. One and the same.
Speaker 29 Currently, she would be the next in line after him.
Speaker 28 But Vera doesn't know who she is.
Speaker 11 So?
Speaker 28 So she could be used as leverage.
Speaker 6 Or worse.
Speaker 29 Oliver never told anyone about her.
Speaker 11 That's why you're so focused on bringing her back.
Speaker 30 Yeah.
Speaker 28 If another family member finds out who Vera is,
Speaker 28 it could end very badly.
Speaker 28 We have to get to her first.
Speaker 31 Vera, I wanted to see if you wanted to spar a few rounds before bed, and
Speaker 14 oh
Speaker 16 hey,
Speaker 31 you okay?
Speaker 24 Please go away, Vincent.
Speaker 31 What's up?
Speaker 24 I was supposed to be the strong one.
Speaker 17 Maybe it really should have been me who died in there.
Speaker 31 No.
Speaker 31 Can I be the first one to say, Nick is dead wrong?
Speaker 1 Okay.
Speaker 32 Bad choice of words.
Speaker 2 Look, Vera, I watched the playback.
Speaker 31 You did everything you could in that arena.
Speaker 31 You were lucky to get out of there at all.
Speaker 24 How can you be so sure?
Speaker 31 I'm objective.
Speaker 31 He's not.
Speaker 31 You pulled Lisa along through most of that, and she made the choice to go back for you in the end. That's what happened.
Speaker 31 It's no one's fault. Especially when this place is designed in a way that no one is supposed to survive.
Speaker 1 When I look back,
Speaker 24 I just cycle through in my head all of the things I could have done differently.
Speaker 31 Don't do that to yourself. What's done is done.
Speaker 31
You need to look forward towards tomorrow. We need you to be able to focus if we're to stand any chance.
Who knows what they're gonna throw at us?
Speaker 31 Last thing you need to do is go in there with regrets.
Speaker 21 You're right.
Speaker 15 Vincent,
Speaker 27 why did you volunteer for this?
Speaker 27 You don't even know these people you're trading places with.
Speaker 31 I can't leave you and Nick behind like that.
Speaker 31 We made it this far together. Besides, you really expect me to stand by and let the boar win after all she did to us?
Speaker 31 Well,
Speaker 27 thank you.
Speaker 27 It means a lot.
Speaker 31 Just promise me you'll watch my back in there.
Speaker 31 I got yours too.
Speaker 24 Of course.
Speaker 31
Like I said, don't think about anything but tomorrow, okay? Forget Nick. Forget Lisa.
Just focus on killing those things and getting the hell out of this place once and for all.
Speaker 27 When did you become so committed?
Speaker 10 What can I say?
Speaker 31 I'm motivated now.
Speaker 22 The three of us together, we have a chance.
Speaker 31 But we have to be ready for it.
Speaker 16 You're right.
Speaker 10 Of course I am.
Speaker 27 Did you tell Nick the same?
Speaker 31 I'm warming him up. I mean, if this lowly nomad's got to be the one to keep us all together, so be it.
Speaker 25 Thanks.
Speaker 31 Now go get some sleep. Sun's up in nine hours.
Speaker 31 And I have a feeling tomorrow's gonna be a long-ass day.

Speaker 21 Good morning, friend.
Speaker 21 This is your wake-up call.
Speaker 21 If you don't get out of bed now, you might just miss the biggest matchup of the year.
Speaker 21 Maybe even the decade.
Speaker 21 Come on, come on to the final round for the Guardians. We're almost sold out, so get your spots now to see all the action up close and in person.
Speaker 13 Whatever you do, be sure to place your beds before the sound of the buzzer, because who knows what will happen next?
Speaker 22
Wake up, everyone. Come on.
Don't care if you're not hungry. Get something in your stomachs.
Speaker 8 You better have slept.
Speaker 21 I'm up.
Speaker 12 I'm up.
Speaker 22 No sleeping in, Nick.
Speaker 33 Don't you worry about me.
Speaker 33 Not even time to mourn, and we have to go right back in. Hey, focus on what is here, okay?
Speaker 31 Remember to stretch.
Speaker 10 Yourself loose.
Speaker 33 Limber is the key. What side did you get up on?
Speaker 21 Who the hell are you?
Speaker 33 Someone who wants to win, all right.
Speaker 12 Now come on, warm up, dig deep, dropping jacks.
Speaker 22 Let's go,
Speaker 33 Nick come on try who is this
Speaker 31 help or something
Speaker 5 not from you
Speaker 31 Let's go people
Speaker 33 Ollie you put those on we're heading out.
Speaker 32 Monorail is leaving for the stadium
Speaker 26 Handcuffs is this really necessary?
Speaker 33 Yeah, you put them on or there will be consequences Kelly just do what he says.
Speaker 26 What if we don't want to go?
Speaker 21 Either you go or I drag you
Speaker 3 There is no way you're taking your gun.
Speaker 34 I don't care if it's not loaded.
Speaker 30 She doesn't leave my side.
Speaker 10 That's not an option.
Speaker 30
Well, that's the way it's gonna be. Then you carry it.
Otherwise, you'll be dragging me there.
Speaker 21 And this fatty don't move easy.
Speaker 1 Jesus.
Speaker 2 Whatever, fine. Just give it to me.
Speaker 35 Where are we going exactly?
Speaker 33 The boar has special box seats for you in the stadium.
Speaker 3 She wants to make sure that you're watching.
Speaker 5 Great.
Speaker 34 What a sick fuck.
Speaker 30 Is it too late to switch places with the kids in the arena?
Speaker 8 I'd rather they go free than us.
Speaker 4 Speak for yourself, Bert.
Speaker 2 Oh, it's already done.
Speaker 21 Now, March.
Speaker 32 This is Seal. I'm bringing over the Westport captives now.
Speaker 36 Okay, they're moving Bert and the others now.
Speaker 27 I got eyes on the slave camp.
Speaker 35 The number of guards is pretty light.
Speaker 8 You were right, Will.
Speaker 27 They all must be watching the game.
Speaker 37 Yeah, not much work is getting done today.
Speaker 36
There's only two in the watchtowers. I'll be able to dart them and then work on the gates.
The nearest tunnel entrance is north of here, right?
Speaker 37 Just past the Monorail Depot,
Speaker 37 near the mountain arena.
Speaker 37 There's an emergency access to it where the old 15 ran.
Speaker 12 Got it. Riley, are you ready?
Speaker 12 Riley.
Speaker 11 I'm in Bat's truck.
Speaker 1 Damn it.
Speaker 11 All of our weapons were taken, and they broke the lock on the door.
Speaker 11 There's some ammo left, but looks like they smashed the madigan.
Speaker 37 Are the main air tanks still there?
Speaker 11 Yes, the seem fine.
Speaker 29 Pressure is up.
Speaker 37 Take whatever supplies are left, unless you want it torched.
Speaker 11 I am.
Speaker 37 You know that trigger device I gave you? Attach it to the main batteries, but but make sure it's close enough to the air tanks. They need to cause a chain reaction.
Speaker 21 Done
Speaker 37 once the match starts, you'll have to drive on the street that takes you around the bazaar There will be a stadium gate on the southwest corner of the stomping grounds.
Speaker 37 You should be able to get the truck close to it
Speaker 11 It's pretty empty out here. I don't think anyone will get in my way
Speaker 37 All right Alvin, what about you?
Speaker 33 They've moved Buffalo Bill and the other two infected into their relief spots at the stadium. I'm just finishing typing out your code now, Will.
Speaker 37 Perfect.
Speaker 21 Oh boy.
Speaker 33 I think Fredo knows what's about to happen next.
Speaker 10 He's all riled up.
Speaker 37 Good. Then he better go after the infected and not our contenders.
Speaker 33 Don't think that'll be a problem. He may have smelled Buffalo Bill when they moved him.
Speaker 3 Fredo is not happy.
Speaker 12 Okay.
Speaker 33
Code is good to go. Then we're all in position.
Get ready.
Speaker 8 Come on, demon! You can do it!
Speaker 22 The sun's coming up!
Speaker 13 We're almost there!
Speaker 22 Easy now! Hold on!
Speaker 22 I know we're heavy, and I know we have a lot of gear, but we need you!
Speaker 12 Our friends need you!
Speaker 22 Run like the wind, demon, please!
Speaker 22 Dodge!
Speaker 12 Oh, no!
Speaker 22 The sun's up!
Speaker 8 Alright, you three. Move forward.
Speaker 3 You know the drill.
Speaker 8 Time for weapon selection.
Speaker 8 Well, this is it.
Speaker 10 What do we get?
Speaker 33 Better be good.
Speaker 1 Come on.
Speaker 13 Come on.
Speaker 33 You've got to be freaking kidding me.
Speaker 8 No guns? Well, wouldn't want you shooting into the crowd now, would we?
Speaker 31 Hey, they got my spear.
Speaker 29 And is that my katana?
Speaker 8
Grabbed it from your room after you left. You seem to know your way around these weapons, and I thought it only fitting.
Better sport that way.
Speaker 6 And that means that I get
Speaker 1 this.
Speaker 21 Uh-huh.
Speaker 8 Good old bow and arrow.
Speaker 12 For long range.
Speaker 8 Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 There you go, Robin Hood.
Speaker 30 Plenty of arrows, at least.
Speaker 8
No need for survival packs this time. You won't be in there long enough to need them.
The arena is scattered with what you might encounter in the red zone.
Speaker 8 Disabled cars, down trees, even a few mock structures to give you all a real sporting chance.
Speaker 29 What are we up against?
Speaker 5 Oh,
Speaker 21 you'll find out.
Speaker 8 Wait up there at the main pit doors. Once I announce you, those will open and uh things will begin
Speaker 8 and you know good luck.
Speaker 21 I mean
Speaker 8 been fun as hell watching you all really has really
Speaker 8 it's more fun for me to see someone win for once
Speaker 8 give them hell
Speaker 22 a fucking bow
Speaker 33 Damn, I wish I would have taken Riley up on her help with these things.
Speaker 31 Yeah, I don't think trading with you would help much here. I'm not good with that.
Speaker 25 Me neither.
Speaker 6 Well, that's great.
Speaker 31 I'm glad at least you two got what you wanted.
Speaker 12 Look,
Speaker 27
I have the shortest range, but it's quick. Vincent, you have a bit more distance and leverage with your spear against bigger infected.
And Nick, you have range.
Speaker 27 The more we coordinate, the better our chances.
Speaker 6 Exactly.
Speaker 33 You guys really think we have any chance to make it through this? You do know this is a setup, right?
Speaker 31 I thought the same about the last round, but look what happened there.
Speaker 31 Anything that lives can be killed.
Speaker 16 Yay.
Speaker 31 If nothing else, let's go out swinging.
Speaker 12 Hey, Nick,
Speaker 13 can I talk to you over here?
Speaker 31
You guys do your thing. I'm gonna limber up.
Remember to stretch.
Speaker 33 Look, okay, I get what's going on.
Speaker 6 Do you?
Speaker 27 The last thing I want to do is go in there with regrets.
Speaker 33 I understand.
Speaker 33 All right, we don't need to keep going over what happened. Stop.
Speaker 29 I just
Speaker 12 Wait, what?
Speaker 27
And not just in an I've known you forever kind of way. This goes way deeper.
I don't want to go in there thinking that you hate me when you're the person I care about the most.
Speaker 21 Look, I um.
Speaker 23 I don't know what to say.
Speaker 27 I know. You already know.
Speaker 24 We don't have to pretend anymore.
Speaker 24 I mean,
Speaker 33 I guess I do,
Speaker 16 but
Speaker 33 I still don't know what to say. I mean, this isn't the right time.
Speaker 27 There's no way I could go through those doors without you knowing for sure.
Speaker 27 If you want to hate me, that's your choice, but please.
Speaker 21 I don't
Speaker 6 hate you.
Speaker 33 I'm still a mess from what happened, but I.
Speaker 6 I don't hate you, Vera.
Speaker 21 I can't.
Speaker 1 There's just...
Speaker 33 It's just hard to know what I'm feeling right now.
Speaker 6 Dealing with all of this.
Speaker 33 Is this what you were trying to tell me before?
Speaker 33 Well,
Speaker 27 there is something else.
Speaker 11 But I can't say yet.
Speaker 29 It's just not the right time.
Speaker 6 But But this was
Speaker 6 possibly easy.
Speaker 6 Come on, get over here.
Speaker 22 Just a minute, okay?
Speaker 12 Um,
Speaker 21 come on,
Speaker 6 Vera. I, uh,
Speaker 21 yes,
Speaker 30 like, um
Speaker 21 say it.
Speaker 6 Stay close.
Speaker 6 Okay?
Speaker 6 Don't you leave me in there?
Speaker 13 I won't.
Speaker 21 I promise.
Speaker 11 Come, come, come Kelly Victor, you made it just in time.
Speaker 30 Fuck your time.
Speaker 13 Ah, Bert.
Speaker 12 Always a delight.
Speaker 29 Unless you plan to force my eyes open, I'm not watching.
Speaker 23 There's some twist of shit making us sit here like this.
Speaker 3 It's petty, even for you, Michelle.
Speaker 19 Watch it, Mira. I don't go by that name anymore.
Speaker 1 Uh-huh.
Speaker 19 So much can happen here.
Speaker 11 You really can't assume anything until it's all over.
Speaker 12 Can't I?
Speaker 12 Uh-huh.
Speaker 19 Don't you know? These games are so unpredictable.
Speaker 19 Even when you try to rig them.
Speaker 6 What?
Speaker 19 Stop the disruptors.
Speaker 35 What are you doing? No!
Speaker 22 Sit down!
Speaker 19 Watch the game.
Speaker 19 It's about to begin.
Speaker 11 I got the truck back at the gates. Thumbs ready.
Speaker 12 I just need to hit the switch.
Speaker 1 Shit! Come on, get out!
Speaker 1 Go up, beat!
Speaker 1 I can't! I gotta stop!
Speaker 1 Come on!
Speaker 1 Riley!
Speaker 20 Damn it! The guards are gone!
Speaker 22 They aren't in the watchtowers! I-
Speaker 22 Shit! I've picked it out! More guards are here!
Speaker 1 More guards are here!
Speaker 19 You didn't think I didn't know about your friends wandering around Prim, did you, Mira?
Speaker 10 What does that mean? Damn it!
Speaker 16 You bitch!
Speaker 19 Handcuff her to the chair.
Speaker 11 Wait,
Speaker 11 what's happening?
Speaker 6 Can't be anything good.
Speaker 14 All right, we're ready.
Speaker 19 You can start the game now.
Speaker 33 There we go.
Speaker 21 You good?
Speaker 33 As I ever could be with a damn bow and arrow.
Speaker 27 Stay alert, stay alive.
Speaker 6 Hey, uh,
Speaker 6 there.
Speaker 19 Yes,
Speaker 23 we got this.
Speaker 29 You bet your ass we do.
