We’re Alive: Descendants - Chapter 6 - From Life… Till Death - Part 3 of 3
The first day of the Games comes to a close. Mirra seeks an audience with The Boar.
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.

Chapter 6:
From Life
Till Death.
part three
of three
You got mud damn near everywhere in this pistol.
Well, it was either that or leaves it or you in the river.
All good.
All good.
At least it gives me something to focus on.
Um, water's done boiling in the canteen.
Let it cool over here.
Any luck with fish number two?
Cockroaches' bait don't seem to be working.
Maybe I could go down there and try to find another worm?
No, just stay on the roof.
I don't want to have to pull you up again.
I'm tired as it is.
This reminds me of when I was younger.
When my dad and I used to go fishing along the creek by our house.
My mom passed when I was young, so it was just he and I for a long time.
We would just sit there and talk, and he'd
wait,
wait,
I think we got one,
we got one.
This one's gleaning.
Don't break the line or the stick.
I won't.
Okay, grab the line.
Help me pull it up.
Come on.
Careful.
Careful.
It's a long way.
Come
Come on.
Almost got it.
She's a beautiful.
Rainbow trout.
Wow.
Good size, too.
Nice.
I'm still hungry.
We can save the MRE for another night.
Good job, Lisa.
Well, I know this.
Go ahead.
Do your thing.
You mean I I have to gut and prep this fish too?
Well, I'm doing the same to your pistol.
But I will admit, this is a lot less gross.
Oh, come on.
Big, bad, tough Vera.
Ha.
Hand me your katana.
You will remember to clean it after.
I'll try.
What was that?
Just some coyotes.
What are those?
Dogs?
Wild dogs?
You really don't know?
Anything that makes noise around Westport usually dies, so.
No,
I don't.
Well then, I would take them as a good sign.
If they're around,
maybe there's no infected near.
Didn't think about it that way.
You know,
I never had a chance to properly thank you for coming after our helicopter like that.
Even if it did turn out like this,
I still wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
Nick brought us the mission.
I was just following orders.
Yeah, but he didn't give up.
And you got Alex and I out of there.
Well, sort of.
We'd be back in Westport if it wasn't for Nakoma.
If I ever get out of here,
she'll earn what's coming for her.
I don't know.
She seems stuck.
Like it wasn't much of her choice.
We all have a choice in how we choose to act.
She picked the side of suffering.
I guess.
Oh, I'm right about that.
If something happens to the others, I'll just
drives me crazy not to have any idea what's happening to Nick or Alex, where they are now, or if they're even still.
I think they're okay.
But how do you know?
Just a feeling.
I wish I had the same.
I just keep seeing something different in my head.
I know Nick is strong,
but this place might be even stronger.
How long have you been friends with Nick?
Since we were kids.
Your families were close?
My mom and his dad knew each other in the early days of the outbreak.
Does he ever talk about it?
I mean, I never asked, but
everyone knows Saul's story.
Only I didn't know your mom knew him.
That was such a long time ago.
What about your dad?
What does he do?
Uh.
Him?
I have no idea.
I'm sorry.
Did he pass?
No.
At least, I don't think so.
I just never knew him.
Oh.
Mama said he walked out on her before I was born.
It must have been hard.
I think it was for her.
Didn't matter, though.
She filled in both roles.
There's nothing my mama couldn't do.
You have no idea where your dad went?
Why he left?
Nope.
Mama doesn't talk about him much.
Barely even knew his name till I found it on a note buried away in a desk at home.
Oliver.
Guess it's better that way.
That's so sad.
What about you?
You said you lost your mom.
But what about your dad?
He works on the rail line, so I don't get to see him often.
Can't imagine what I would do without him.
Well, we wouldn't be eating right now, maybe.
Then, thanks to your dad.
What's his name?
He just goes by Grant.
Our last name.
Well,
thank you, Grant, for the fish we are about to eat.
If I don't burn it first,
yeah, don't do that.
Look, just
let me finish eating and I'll help you cut down those logs, okay?
No,
I got it.
You mean it's gotta be hard, the wood all wet like that, and cutting them with just your spear?
Oh, yeah.
It is.
We're gonna be worth it.
Then then let me help.
No!
I said I got it.
Fine.
Fine.
Whatever.
There it goes.
Phew.
Now that should give us more than enough time to get some sleep.
Burn all night now.
You're welcome.
I mean, I would have helped, but...
Didn't need it.
Sure look like you did.
Look, we're a team, okay?
One of us gets injured doing something stupid, and we both suffer.
What are you trying to do?
Make a show for the cameras or something?
No,
it wasn't.
You think they have those?
Watching us?
Yeah.
I mean, I doubt they have...
Any in here, but I bet they do outside.
I mean, how else are people gonna watch what's going on in the arenas?
So
I really have to be careful with what I say and do.
If they can hear us,
do whatever you want.
We can make it more entertaining.
You like that?
Would you stop fucking around?
Alright, fine, fine.
Sorry.
Geez.
Just having a little fun.
You know what?
Right now I'm a bit too drained for your fun, okay?
I get it.
You're right.
Just making light of being watched, you know?
This whole thing is a damn joke.
I mean,
we're stuck in here while God knows what else is happening out there.
The Republic could be marching on Westport or that fucking monster Alvin let out, Cole, could be attacking, and no one can even warn them.
Here we are, stuck in some damn game, and for what?
Can't focus on everything,
only what you can control.
Get through this, and then do something about what's waiting for you out there.
That's what I'm doing.
I mean, yeah,
yeah, I get that, but
look, man, I just want to get this done and over with.
You want to sleep in shifts?
Why don't you go first?
I'm not tired.
I was actually gonna say the same thing.
I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight.
You know?
I think I owe you one.
I can't believe that fire thing worked.
Hey, you killed the first Yeti, so we're even.
If we stick together, we might just get out of this yet.
Cross those fingers.
Hey, uh, what do you got waiting for you out there?
Me?
Well,
I got some family I figure I should see.
It's been a while.
Try and find them.
Who?
My dad.
Really?
From pre-outbreak?
And he made it through all of this?
That guy is tough as nails.
Older than sin.
But still kicking.
I got a friend.
Similar.
Like uh like a grandpa to me.
Same way back home.
He's like 80, I think.
Hell, I lost count.
Is that where you would go?
Did your grandma live in Westport, too?
Um
yeah,
she did
until she passed.
Did they uh, you know,
get her?
She was tougher than that.
Infected didn't stop her, but
she uh
she couldn't fight off cancer.
Damn.
You got anyone else?
I uh I got a mom and dad too, but
they're not my real ones.
They they took me in, you know.
My real ones passed a while back.
Damn.
You had it rough, man.
Yeah, you could say that.
But you got adopted.
That must have been nice.
A lot of kids get abandoned when something happens to their folks.
Your new ones must be something special looking out for you.
Yeah.
They they were.
It's
it's just
It's just shit right now.
Why?
I um
I uh when I left
I think I said some things that
I shouldn't have
Especially to my dad
He was always
looking out for me
Even if I didn't want him to
but
Damn if he wasn't right
Sounds like you got a lot to say once you get back
Yeah,
I think I do
To the people who actually still give a shit about us, huh
to them
At least the snow water's good
You know, I think I got a lot to say to my pops too
Being in here kind of puts uh everything into perspective.
This is some shit, huh?
Nick,
Nick.

Are you saying it was the off-field play that made the difference on the field?
Hey, a little play makes your day, and today it made the game.
That's all for now.
Coach, one more question!
Play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams Scratchers from the California Lottery.
A little play can make your day.
Please play responsibly, must be 18 years or older to purchase play or claim.
And now, we continue with Descendants.
Follow me and keep your heads down.
We do not want to draw any attention to ourselves.
Look at all this.
They're bringing back Sin City.
Just beyond the Nevada border.
Surprised CJ didn't know about it.
I'm pretty sure she did.
But what can you do about an entire city, really?
Disgusting.
People keep making the same mistakes they always do.
Profiting off suffering.
Exactly.
Hey, are you looking for a good time?
I'm good.
Thanks.
What?
I didn't say anything.
But you didn't proposition me.
We didn't bring enough gold.
Please, you two.
God, another poster.
We need to hurry.
Look, the barn.
Well, this must be where they run everything.
What do they got in there?
Cockfighting?
Smells like it.
It feels like Vegas all over again.
This is weird.
Where are we going?
I don't know about you, but if you want to look around, I see a cozy place at the craps table.
Really?
I'm kidding.
But it is tempting.
We need to find a way to the boar.
The boar in the barn?
Cute.
She seems to have a thing for animal names.
That's as much as I know.
You seem to know a lot already about this place and what's going on.
What are you saying?
Well, what else aren't you saying?
Whoa!
Wasn't today exciting, huh?
Let's take a look at some of the highlights as things start to quiet down.
Look, it's Nicholas on the TV.
Come in.
Oh!
That one's sleeping all over.
Shit.
They are in there.
I can't watch.
Just as these two slippery fellas were knocking at death's door, they turned up the heat on the eddies and started their own fire to get away.
All while 20 feet up, dangling in a tree.
Hard to see from this distance, but looks like they used gunpowder from a bullet to get the fire going.
Oh, very clever move.
Fuck yeah.
Good thinking.
You aren't serious.
So, in Winter Wonderland, there's one dead infected so far, and the two contestants remain unscathed.
Where is this being broadcast?
Hey, dealer, where does this come from?
Oh, the Barnes penthouse.
Up the elevator.
But you ain't getting up there.
I see where we need to go.
Come on.
Should we go back home and get help?
Look how far away the kids are now.
And we're very outnumbered here.
If they're already stuck in the.
What do you expect to do?
Get them out.
By any means necessary.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
Bert, I don't know.
If hide your guns, just follow my lead.
Why should we?
Because it's the only chance you have right now of getting them back.
You leave now, they will be done for.
So we follow her?
Yeah, pretty much have to.
I don't like this.
Another exciting day in the Heartland as well.
The massive newcomer Buffalo Bill and his infected clan continued to hunt down the female guardians from Westfort.
Vera and Lisa.
Barely making it across the river in time, they remained undiscovered.
Was it luck?
Or skill?
You can decide.
But it wasn't all waste.
They end the day having found the first clue that could lead them out of the arena.
Look.
Look, on the wall, they're a building.
Is that the one?
I don't want to look.
Tell me when it's over.
Okay.
Okay.
They're surviving so far.
It looks like the girls are camping out right now.
They're playing Prim's game and they're doing just fine.
That's Nicholas, Vera, and Lisa.
But what about Alex?
Sadly, it wasn't lucky travels for all our contestants.
As for the Waterworld team, they
did not resurface.
Seems the Sea Dogs pulled them under to the briny depths, leaving nothing but red waters behind.
All bets for the survivor of the City of Lost Souls dot and the Guardian Alex have been called in.
Can't win them all.
No!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Better luck next time.
Shut the fuck up.
Hey, we all lose some.
Place your bets for day two.
Odds are already on the wall.
I can't believe it.
Fuck.
Hey, guys, get over here.
Hey, where do you think you're going?
VIPs only.
Tell the boy I want to talk.
Right now.
Lady, everybody does.
Piss off.
Give her a message.
She'll let me up.
Oh, yeah.
And if she doesn't,
this bag of gold is all yours.
You trying to buy me off?
She says no, and it's yours.
You have nothing to lose.
What's the message?
From life till death.
That's it?
That's it.
Yeah,
we got someone here who wants to relay a message.
From life till death.
Or some nonsense.
What are you all waiting for?
Come on.
Get over here.
It's Alex.
He's.
He's.
Look.
Just can't.
He's gone.
God damn it.
Tell me who I gotta kill.
Is it that guy?
Easy.
Easy.
Look, I'm very sorry about what happened, but bullets won't get you close.
Words will.
And you know the right thing to say, huh?
How?
Good and bad connections.
All I need to do is talk with the boar.
Maybe then we'll have a chance.
And if that doesn't work,
we go from there.
I don't think that's the best idea.
She...
Ah.
The boar said to come up.
Guess you won't be having this gold after all.
We're going to see her?
Told you.
Right this way.
Good.
Good.
Follow me.
Riley.
Wait.
She did this?
The bull?
Listen, I need you to stay here.
Don't come up with us.
Why?
In case something goes wrong.
Take the gold, use it to get word back to Westport.
Can you do that?
Wait here, and if things
look off, you go.
But I could do something.
I want to help.
You are.
Now wait by the craps table.
Play a few rounds if you have to.
You need to blend in.
I don't know if I can do that.
You coming already?
You have to, Riley.
Please.
All right.
Fine.
She coming.
Nope.
If you say so, this is crazy.
The boar is waiting.
Take the elevator to the top.
What about right?
Camera's in here.
Just play it cool.
Follow my lead.
Can you do that?
Why not?
Followed you you this far.
Who are you all supposed to be?
Well, who the fuck are you supposed to be?
They call me the Walrus.
Well, Ku Kuka, fucking chew.
Watch it, old man.
Where's the boar?
We need to have a word.
Not armed, you're not.
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't like this.
Yeah,
no way.
Well, then you ain't talking to her.
Then I'll do it.
I'll talk to her myself.
Take my pistol.
Smart move.
So we wait here?
While you go alone?
Vic, just stay with me, okay?
Yeah,
this will only take a moment.
The rest of you, why don't you have a seat?
Enjoy the view.
Catch any of the action today.
It's goddamn disgusting.
Oh, bet on the water team, huh?
Well, that's a shame.
The boars through there.
Hello,
Boer.
I don't know you,
do I?
You don't.
But you know the words.
What's your name?
Mira.
Mira Mullen.
And what's your real name?
Mira Amsel.
That's what I thought.
You have your ring?
You're not wearing it.
People know what to look for now.
I can never be too sure.
I have to wear mine around my neck.
I understand.
I never wear mine anymore.
Tusks.
So you're a chisholm.
I knew it.
Really?
Well,
figured if anybody was running this place,
they had to be part of the family.
You know how it is
from life
till death.
