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 20 I don't either.

Speaker 20 What other choice do we have?

Speaker 20 Oh shit!

Speaker 20 Vincent! Run! Run!

Speaker 20 I can't take it! I can't take it!

Speaker 20 Hurry! I can't!

Speaker 17 Good.

Speaker 17 Good arm control.

Speaker 21 Swing down with the blade. One smooth motion

Speaker 13 You're good with a sword

Speaker 21 so are you a natural

Speaker 22 I don't want to get in that water.

Speaker 17 You can't make me

Speaker 23 Why can't you fucking talk to me?

Speaker 22 Fourteen hours till kickoff

Speaker 16 So uh dot

Speaker 25 you ready for this

Speaker 17 Dot

Speaker 21 Okay, so

Speaker 25 you gotta tell me is this some sort of speech impediment or is it like a head injury or what?

Speaker 24 Dot

Speaker 22 as your partner, I think I should know.

Speaker 17 This makes me very fucking nervous.

Speaker 19 Dot.

Speaker 25 Should we sleep?

Speaker 26 Nah, we ain't getting sleep.

Speaker 25 Been a long freaking day. I mean, who could sleep at this point?

Speaker 25 Shit, they're definitely not fucking sleeping.

Speaker 28 What the hell?

Speaker 18 Please, just please.

Speaker 22 You just talk to me.

Speaker 24 Dot.

Speaker 29 I am freaking out here and we're supposed to be partners.

Speaker 5 I thought fucking neck was bad.

Speaker 17 Oh my fucking... Yo, yo, yo, yo, Alex, Alex.

Speaker 16 Relax, man.

Speaker 31 Dot.

Speaker 20 Just enjoy your time.

Speaker 20 That's what we're doing.

Speaker 25 Yeah, that's what you're doing.

Speaker 22 Yeah, and everyone can hear what you're doing.

Speaker 19 Oh, really?

Speaker 14 Yeah, really?

Speaker 25 Don't you think it's a little rude?

Speaker 20 Gotta make every moment count, right?

Speaker 16 You got no clue, do you?

Speaker 4 What?

Speaker 20 Just got some training to do.

Speaker 23 Hey, just getting a snack. I'll be right there.

Speaker 21 You're fucking ridiculous, bro.

Speaker 21 Hey, easy.

Speaker 29 I ain't the enemy.

Speaker 12 Stop, stop. Sorry.

Speaker 12 God damn.

Speaker 23 I think we need to take a break.

Speaker 17 You are pretty impressive with that. Thanks.

Speaker 32 Started young.

Speaker 16 Well, just that one single word.

Speaker 14 Dot.

Speaker 16 I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Speaker 21 I'm sure it'll work out in the end.

Speaker 13 I'm gonna keep warming up.

Speaker 16 Are you?

Speaker 21 No, I'm done.

Speaker 21 Do the smart thing and get some rest.

Speaker 14 Breathe.

Speaker 33 I think it's dead.

Speaker 19 The blade is now too.

Speaker 34 Completely dull.

Speaker 33 That's gonna be your weapon of choice.

Speaker 13 Well, hopefully, something like it.

Speaker 33 What about this one?

Speaker 35 A katana.

Speaker 13 You had this all this time.

Speaker 33 No, actually, uh, this is from when I found Alvin. He can't have it, and I was gonna sell it, but I thought you might have a better use, seeing what you could do with it.

Speaker 13 It looks like it's been cleaned.

Speaker 31 And did you sharpen this?

Speaker 33 It was pretty grungy. Couldn't let you go out there with it looking like that.
Figure if they were letting you have a weapon in there, might as well be something that you want.

Speaker 1 This is perfect.

Speaker 13 This makes things a lot better.

Speaker 13 Still feels like I can't breathe, but I mean

Speaker 12 damn.

Speaker 6 Can we do this and survive?

Speaker 11 From what I've seen, I believe you can.

Speaker 6 The rest, I don't know.

Speaker 35 I hope you're not right.

Speaker 13 And to be separated?

Speaker 13 I won't know what's happening to Nick or or Alex.

Speaker 13 We're just so far from home.

Speaker 13 How can we ever get back?

Speaker 33 Just focus on finding that exit.

Speaker 33 You're a guardian.

Speaker 33 Use everything you know.

Speaker 33 Hey,

Speaker 33 it's gonna be fine.

Speaker 33 You're gonna be fine.

Speaker 12 What the hell are you doing?

Speaker 13 What the hell do you know about fine?

Speaker 4 Relax.

Speaker 17 I am I am trying to help. Relax.

Speaker 13 You're the whole reason we're here.

Speaker 33 I get what I look like from your perspective, but what?

Speaker 13 You brought us here, and now you give me this.

Speaker 13 What is your game?

Speaker 36 What are you even doing? What do you gain by this?

Speaker 33 This is no game. I'm trying to help.
You win, I win, right?

Speaker 13 We lose, and you still live. live.
So what the fuck does that mean for us?

Speaker 33 I'm trying to help you, okay? Maybe not. Maybe you don't understand, but I'm doing what I can.

Speaker 17 Oh, please.

Speaker 37 You're a soldier. You...

Speaker 33 You get orders. I'm a survivor, so I do what I have to do.

Speaker 37 There could have been other ways.

Speaker 13 Save it.

Speaker 35 What the hell do you know about what I've had to do?

Speaker 33 This is probably the first time you've actually been drugged through real shit in your life, and you don't know how to deal with it. Yeah.

Speaker 33 I've got countless stories and scars. Not to mention, I was already in the same damn place you're in now.

Speaker 36 You don't get it.

Speaker 13 None of us would be here if it wasn't for you.

Speaker 13 If anyone dies in there, it's because of you.

Speaker 33 Good luck out there, Vera.

Speaker 33 I hope you never have to make any hard decisions in your life. Must be nice.

Speaker 33 Keep the sword. It's yours now.

Speaker 33 Only spent the last two hours working on it.

Speaker 33 And take this, too.

Speaker 33 I think it's Nick's.

Speaker 25 Capital of Old Rhode Island?

Speaker 17 Dot.

Speaker 27 Four times four?

Speaker 31 Dot.

Speaker 16 How old are you?

Speaker 19 Dot. This is pointless.

Speaker 11 Three letter words signifies abbreviations.

Speaker 31 Dot.

Speaker 17 You're not helping.

Speaker 35 She got that one right.

Speaker 31 Dot.

Speaker 38 Whatever, dot, dots. I gotta get going.
Okay, I gotta I have to sleep.

Speaker 33 Good night

Speaker 18 Look at this guy

Speaker 23 back so soon there um Romeo

Speaker 14 sorry, sorry, we're uh we're done now.

Speaker 20 It was just a uh aftershock. You know how those go.

Speaker 19 Uh-huh.

Speaker 20 That's all you've gotten out of her?

Speaker 25 Nothing else. Nakoma doesn't know anything either, only that she's from the UA and she's an East Coaster.

Speaker 19 Dod.

Speaker 20 Still playing charades with that one?

Speaker 18 Give it a rest.

Speaker 27 She ain't your partner, so back the fuck off.

Speaker 20 Think she could fight?

Speaker 17 Dod.

Speaker 21 Only one way to find out then.

Speaker 24 Fight her.

Speaker 32 What?

Speaker 32 I mean, yeah.

Speaker 20 See what she does. He's gonna break her.
You see how short she is?

Speaker 21 I don't think you're giving her as much credit as you should.

Speaker 25 You serious? Like it's a- what?

Speaker 27 What? Like, it's an act?

Speaker 21 Or a trauma could just be a mask.

Speaker 20 A way to not have to deal with things out of her control.

Speaker 14 Well, come on, both of you.

Speaker 18 Push the couch back.

Speaker 13 Nick, I'm gonna take another shower.

Speaker 20 Oh, that's cool. I'll uh, I'll join you in a minute.
I wanna see this.

Speaker 32 Okay, then.

Speaker 15 See, she gets the idea.

Speaker 20 Understands more than you think.

Speaker 16 So,

Speaker 25 hand to hand, go for a submission, I guess.

Speaker 25 I won't hurt you, I promise.

Speaker 20 I'll go easy, okay?

Speaker 17 All right, let's go

Speaker 25 for Mr. Vincent here.

Speaker 13 Stop.

Speaker 13 All right.

Speaker 17 Begin.

Speaker 26 Wait, I can't touch this.

Speaker 24 Damn,

Speaker 17 and he's about to be a sleeper. Yeah, tap out, Abby.

Speaker 14 Tap out.

Speaker 17 Okay, tap out. Oh, boy, I should have put money on this one.

Speaker 14 Wow.

Speaker 20 Oh my as much as I love to see this, this is embarrassing. I told you.

Speaker 17 What the hell?

Speaker 24 Dot,

Speaker 23 the f.

Speaker 20 Yeah, you're gonna do just fine.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I should be relieved right now, but I'm kinda scared.

Speaker 31 Dot?

Speaker 17 I'm okay.

Speaker 17 Thank you.

Speaker 20 Clean yourself up.

Speaker 21 Hey, buddy. How's it going?

Speaker 33 She's stronger than she looks. That's for for sure.

Speaker 13 Alex is in good hands.

Speaker 28 Yeah,

Speaker 20 we might actually make it through this.

Speaker 13 We might.

Speaker 21 Well, I've had my fill. Till the morning, Nick.

Speaker 16 Uh, yeah.

Speaker 31 Dad.

Speaker 31 God.

Speaker 28 Wanna trade?

Speaker 14 Dad.

Speaker 20 Yeah, you could say that again.

Speaker 27 I'm gonna call it two.

Speaker 27 Night all.

Speaker 26 Dot, you...

Speaker 31 Dot.

Speaker 31 Dot.

Speaker 32 Night. Night.

Speaker 32 Ugh.

Speaker 32 Nick,

Speaker 13 this is crazy, right?

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 20 How did we ever get into this mess?

Speaker 13 Oh, I know the reason. Come over here, away from the cameras.

Speaker 20 You think the trapper's watching?

Speaker 35 Nokoma?

Speaker 17 Probably.

Speaker 13 How are we going to get out of this? Any way to escape?

Speaker 20 Lisa and I talked.

Speaker 20 I think we gotta go through with it.

Speaker 13 There's no other way.

Speaker 20 From the looks of this place, doesn't seem there's any way out.

Speaker 20 But after we win, then

Speaker 17 what?

Speaker 13 Get roped into some other bullshit?

Speaker 36 Look at at Nokoma.

Speaker 7 It's one big pyramid scheme.

Speaker 13 They move you up, but you can't truly get out.

Speaker 20 No, we're different. We have somewhere to go back to.

Speaker 25 She didn't.

Speaker 13 What if they don't let us out?

Speaker 20 Then we'll just keep fighting.

Speaker 20 I mean, what else can we do?

Speaker 13 Ugh! The army and now this?

Speaker 13 I feel like I've never had control of my own life.

Speaker 20 Does anyone ever?

Speaker 13 the worst of it is

Speaker 13 I won't know what's going on with you

Speaker 13 and Alex.

Speaker 20 I'll be alright. I got the uh thick skin, remember? I'm more worried about you.
And Lisa.

Speaker 13 You actually trust Vincent in there with you?

Speaker 20 Well, he needs me as much as I need him.

Speaker 20 You spend time with him. Think he can hold his own?

Speaker 13 Uh he seemed pretty good when we were sparring.

Speaker 6 Plus he lasted that long out in the red zone by himself.

Speaker 14 Yeah,

Speaker 20 so he should be able to do alright.

Speaker 14 But

Speaker 14 in there,

Speaker 17 I don't know.

Speaker 13 You better come back to me, Nicholas Tink.

Speaker 20 That's pretty much a guarantee.

Speaker 13 Is it ever?

Speaker 20 Ain't nothing gonna harm a hair on this fine ass.

Speaker 32 Relax.

Speaker 13 Why do you kid all the time?

Speaker 20 Why are you so serious all the time? It's better for your nerves to ride the wave and not paddle against it.

Speaker 13 Maybe because you don't have to be as worried as the rest of us.

Speaker 20 That's bullshit, and you know it. I have no guarantees.
Same as the rest of you.

Speaker 13 I didn't mean it like that.

Speaker 20 Hold up. Where did you get that sword?

Speaker 13 The katana?

Speaker 13 Nakoma gave it to me. Look, what else?

Speaker 22 Huh? Tanya's journal? I thought this was gone.

Speaker 17 Thank God.

Speaker 13 She gave it back.

Speaker 20 Maybe she's not half bad.

Speaker 13 We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her.

Speaker 12 Well,

Speaker 20 she risked herself for our benefit already. Not to mention, this weapon is kind of perfect for you.

Speaker 13 I know.

Speaker 20 Maybe luck is on our side.

Speaker 14 I don't know.

Speaker 20 Maybe, uh.

Speaker 20 maybe we're supposed to be here.

Speaker 13 In some crazy way you might be right.

Speaker 21 Oh, Vera, all my ways are crazy ways.

Speaker 13 You are not as mysterious as you think you are.

Speaker 14 Oh, yeah?

Speaker 20 What would you know?

Speaker 13 Everything.

Speaker 14 Really?

Speaker 13 Try me.

Speaker 17 Favorite color? Green.

Speaker 20 Easy one.

Speaker 20 Favorite book.

Speaker 23 You don't read.

Speaker 26 Ooh, harsh, girl.

Speaker 12 True.

Speaker 20 But so harsh.

Speaker 13 You can try and try, but you're pretty easy to figure out. It's not like I haven't seen you practically every day of our lives.

Speaker 20 Oh, don't need to remind me.

Speaker 17 Okay, okay.

Speaker 20 If you know me so well, tell me something. Something that I don't even know about myself.

Speaker 13 There's a big one.

Speaker 13 And despite despite all your training, you still don't know a thing about it.

Speaker 13 Really?

Speaker 13 What?

Speaker 20 Just say it.

Speaker 19 Love?

Speaker 29 The hell I don't.

Speaker 20 You kidding me? I mean, after all the girls that I've dated?

Speaker 13 From someone who has been forced to be familiar with every one of your escapades, you obviously don't.

Speaker 20 Okay, those are big words. You've never even been in a real relationship.

Speaker 13 At least I know what my relationships are. I'm never in love with any of them.
It's only physical.

Speaker 20 So you don't even know.

Speaker 20 Why are we having this conversation? Okay, is this what was so important to say?

Speaker 23 Look, I gotta go get some rest.

Speaker 20 I'm already up too late.

Speaker 13 Hey, don't get all pissy with me.

Speaker 33 I don't deserve that.

Speaker 20 What do you want from me, Vera?

Speaker 13 I want to know that I don't have to worry about you, that you're not gonna do something stupid.

Speaker 34 That we're

Speaker 13 that we're gonna be okay.

Speaker 24 I

Speaker 30 won't

Speaker 14 look,

Speaker 20 it's going to be fine, okay? We'll get through this just like we get through everything else.

Speaker 37 You better be right

Speaker 32 now.

Speaker 20 Come here, give me a hug, damn it.

Speaker 20 Mira.

Speaker 19 Alright.

Speaker 19 Fuck.

Speaker 28 What?

Speaker 28 What happened?

Speaker 40 God, Nicholas.

Speaker 13 You know how your mind lets you forget something when too many things are in front of it?

Speaker 20 Daily? Are you kidding?

Speaker 20 What'd you remember?

Speaker 13 Something I know, and I want to say, and maybe should.

Speaker 12 But can't.

Speaker 13 It's not important for what's next, you know, but

Speaker 13 I feel like I need to get it out.

Speaker 20 It sounds like you could use some uh alone time, if you know what I mean. This some type of confessional?

Speaker 13 No, uh, this is serious.

Speaker 13 Nick, can you not joke for once?

Speaker 38 What?

Speaker 20 I always joke.

Speaker 17 Why?

Speaker 17 It's

Speaker 20 the only way I can get through stuff like this.

Speaker 20 You should try it.

Speaker 13 I wish I could. My mind is just replaying every scenario over and over.
What if this happens? You do this, and thinking about every situation and variable, and then Lisa, and

Speaker 13 this is it's just too much.

Speaker 28 Look, I know.

Speaker 20 Okay?

Speaker 20 I'm right here with you.

Speaker 5 Are you?

Speaker 30 Yes.

Speaker 21 Always.

Speaker 20 You uh.

Speaker 20 You think anyone's looking for us?

Speaker 28 Back home that is

Speaker 13 Knowing who we are who raised us

Speaker 11 I'd guarantee it

Speaker 20 I Don't know Michael's probably thrilled that I'm gone.

Speaker 13 Don't say that never say that

Speaker 13 you know it's not true

Speaker 12 Yeah,

Speaker 28 I know

Speaker 13 But even if they are looking

Speaker 13 There's no way they'd ever guess where we are.

Speaker 15 We'll be back after a brief word from our sponsors.

Speaker 40 You told her I was coming, right?

Speaker 14 Uh, I may not have had a chance to.

Speaker 40 That's why I'm getting that look.

Speaker 14 Ruth, hi, I

Speaker 37 did not expect you to be here.

Speaker 40 Peggs, I wanted to come. Dean said you were getting phone calls?

Speaker 37 A few hang-ups, it's really not a big deal.

Speaker 40 We just wanted to make sure you're okay. After everything going on, CJ has people watching the house.
I'm fine, but you're there alone.

Speaker 37 Dean, are we getting close?

Speaker 23 Yeah, yeah, we're almost there.

Speaker 39 She lives this way. I didn't want to scare her off.

Speaker 37 You're coming too?

Speaker 13 I can wait at the curb if you want.

Speaker 19 No,

Speaker 31 sorry, yes, come. It's I'm just you don't have to explain.

Speaker 13 I'm here to help.

Speaker 16 The apartment building is locked.

Speaker 37 Try the buzzer.

Speaker 43 Hello?

Speaker 39 Miss Fortain?

Speaker 23 Does a Miss Fortaine live here?

Speaker 39 Why?

Speaker 39 We just have a few questions.

Speaker 19 Great.

Speaker 40 Push the button again.

Speaker 19 Want me to try?

Speaker 14 No.

Speaker 39 I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 Did we get disconnected?

Speaker 7 I don't want to talk right now.

Speaker 31 Can you tell if that's her?

Speaker 27 I barely remember much after the grog bowl, let alone what she sounded like.

Speaker 27 But she might remember me.

Speaker 2 Uh, we spoke the other night.

Speaker 9 Yes! Hi!

Speaker 43 You know me, or remember me?

Speaker 14 Hello?

Speaker 14 Hello?

Speaker 32 Ah, that button doesn't work anymore.

Speaker 37 We can't let her ignore us.

Speaker 32 I can't tell from here.

Speaker 40 Well, I'm not gonna let that stop us.

Speaker 14 Oh, there are better ways.

Speaker 27 Um,

Speaker 19 give me a sec.

Speaker 37 What are you doing?

Speaker 32 Picking the lock.

Speaker 13 Dean, really?

Speaker 32 What?

Speaker 4 It's the only way

Speaker 37 you can do that?

Speaker 14 Standard guardian training.

Speaker 14 Huh.

Speaker 40 Okay, which door is it?

Speaker 32 Third on the right.

Speaker 29 Hey! Open up!

Speaker 29 Denise!

Speaker 29 Open the door!

Speaker 33 I really don't have the time right now.

Speaker 29 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 35 I really don't have it.

Speaker 44 Look, lady, I don't know why the hell you won't open the goddamn door, but I have a husband in the hospital and a son who's lost right now, so I don't have a lot of time to bullshit.

Speaker 44 But if you have answers, you better believe that I will fucking tear apart every piece of the house between us until you tell me everything you know.

Speaker 25 way to lay it all out there might have come on a little too strong

Speaker 43 i'm sorry i don't know anything is that her uh denise uh we met at the party didn't we you gave me a book yes that was you to give to nicholas yes it's her it's you yeah i remember you now you wore the thing with the blue or like a red

Speaker 37 anyway why did you have the journal? Where did it come from?

Speaker 33 I was given it to give to Dean. The girl said she was too shy.

Speaker 32 What?

Speaker 39 That's it?

Speaker 37 Wait, someone gave the journal to you to deliver to Nick.

Speaker 40 But it was another girl?

Speaker 13 What do you know about her?

Speaker 33 I've actually never seen her before. She was outside the party and asked if I'd give it to Nick.

Speaker 33 Felt like a book, so it seemed harmless.

Speaker 25 That means she wouldn't be on the event roster.

Speaker 39 What else do you remember about her?

Speaker 12 Shorter girl, uh, wore a long coat.

Speaker 37 Anything else? Please, anything more you can give us.

Speaker 33 I'm sorry, I didn't even know this was an issue. Is Nicholas okay?

Speaker 6 The more you can tell us would help.

Speaker 17 Right.

Speaker 29 Well, anything you can remember.

Speaker 24 Um,

Speaker 13 what is it?

Speaker 33 I don't want to seem mean, but there was something

Speaker 33 funny about her eyes.

Speaker 19 What do you mean?

Speaker 33 That was about the only thing I remember. Like, she looked at me, but

Speaker 33 didn't.

Speaker 7 I think I know who it is.

Speaker 14 I do, too.

Speaker 37 Why would she okay?

Speaker 44 Okay, you've been very helpful. Thank you, Denise.

Speaker 33 I hope you find your son, and that your husband gets better.

Speaker 17 Thank you.

Speaker 13 This is getting exciting.

Speaker 40 I'll drive.

Speaker 13 Where are we going?

Speaker 17 Hospital.

Speaker 14 We're alive.

Speaker 15 Descendants will return next week.

Speaker 15 And now a word from our sponsors.

Speaker 1 Coach, the energy out there felt different.

Speaker 2 What changed for the team today?

Speaker 3 It was the new game day scratches from the California Lottery.

Speaker 5 Play is everything. Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

Speaker 7 Are you saying it was the off-field play that made the difference on the field?

Speaker 3 Hey, a little play makes your day, and today, it made the game. That's all for now.

Speaker 4 Coach, one more question.

Speaker 8 Play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams Scratchers from the California Lottery.

Speaker 9 A little play can make your day.

Speaker 8 Please play responsibly. Must be 18 years or older to purchase, play, or claim.
