Chapter nine. A

life for a life. Part

2:00

two of

2:02

3.

2:27

We got about a block more and it'll be on

2:29

the rad.

2:30

I know where it is. Well,

2:32

either way, I have to escort you to the dorms.

2:35

Just keep your hands rugs and see them, contender.

2:39

I can't believe they let you keep that sword.

2:42

It was mine to begin with. Mhmm.

2:45

What does it matter now? Are I free

2:48

to go? Once you're done out processing,

2:51

there's still the last few couple of things to do,

2:53

you know, exit interviews and

2:54

such. He'll have to change and get ready

2:56

for those.

2:58

Can I be done with this? Not

3:00

much longer now.

3:02

Okay. Wait

3:05

up.

3:06

Who the hell is that? She doesn't

3:08

matter. Let's just get there.

3:13

Oh, it's you. You 2

3:15

to be here in Tacoma? You're

3:18

freaking did

3:18

it. I can't believe it. Look,

3:21

I'm really sorry about your friend. 2

3:23

put up a hell of a fight. I

3:26

wish things turned out differently, but

3:29

you did what you had

3:31

to and it's

3:31

over. Are

3:32

you supposed to be gone? Didn't they

3:34

pay you already? Get the fuck away

3:36

from me. I just wanna Do you have any

3:38

idea what you've done? You're

3:40

responsible for

3:41

this. Leave me the hell

3:43

alone.

3:45

I gotta agree. The contenders

3:47

no longer your concern move along.

3:50

No one asked you, Sue. Aren't

3:52

you miss his money back now? So

3:56

why are you still around here?

4:02

I don't know. You

4:19

got two hours in the dorms to get yourself

4:21

ready. Whatever.

4:24

Just want it over already. I'll

4:31

be back to escort you and the other winners

4:33

to the next event. See you then.

4:39

Wait. They're already back.

4:43

I was

4:43

wondering when you would get here.

4:47

No, none. Get off

4:49

of me. Back up.

4:51

Next, we what?

4:54

I'm so glad you're

4:56

okay.

4:56

Oh, I am far from

4:59

okay. You

5:00

know everything that happened? Oh,

5:02

I saw it

5:03

all. All of

5:04

it. There's

5:05

nothing I could do about Lisa. We

5:07

had a plan. She she decided to

5:09

change it.

5:11

She told me that

5:13

you were a protector. You

5:16

promised me. And I tried.

5:18

I did everything possible.

5:20

She just Well, she

5:22

does.

5:23

Died. How can

5:25

you put all of this on me?

5:27

You are field

5:28

trained. Spent years doing

5:31

it. Everything you prepared for

5:33

in in in this. What the hell could I've done

5:35

differently?

5:36

Do you know what I went through in

5:38

there? Well,

5:40

I'm going through now after losing

5:42

her like that. Yes. Yes.

5:44

I do. Before

5:49

before we were sending, you said

5:51

that I didn't know love. The

5:53

hell I didn't. I

5:56

loved her. For

5:58

the for the first time and

6:00

the longest time. I

6:02

felt like I had something real with someone.

6:06

And now now

6:08

it has gone. She's

6:11

she's gone. This place

6:15

took her away, not me.

6:18

Yeah.

6:19

If I had been in there, it would have been

6:21

different. You can't know

6:23

that. Yeah.

6:28

What

6:28

if that had been me? It

6:31

almost was.

6:33

Lisa came back to help me. What

6:36

if she

6:36

didn't? Would

6:39

you be yelling at her right now? Would

6:44

you even feel the same way if you never

6:46

saw me again? I

6:51

guess one have her now. Nick.

6:55

Nick.

6:57

I can

7:04

to this. I

7:06

just can't.

7:35

I think we lost them. The

7:38

infected could keep up. I

7:43

know. I'm exhausted too. I'm

7:50

kidding. Good demon.

7:54

We'd be sunk right now if it wasn't for you.

8:01

Is home much further? I

8:04

mean, it's gotta be around him somewhere.

8:09

No, but I have a pretty good idea.

8:11

We're just looking for the entrance. It's hidden in

8:14

all. Wait.

8:19

Is that a stable.

8:22

Please tell me that's the place Chuck talked about.

8:27

That's gotta be it. There's nothing else around

8:29

for miles. Come on,

8:31

demon. When let's go. Come on. We're

8:33

almost there. Did

8:39

I die? Trust me. I

8:41

know it doesn't look like much, but there's a lot

8:43

more to it. The

8:45

Atlas, it's meant to be

8:47

hidden. Time.

8:54

Yeah. Yeah. This is definitely it.

8:57

Here, you get off

8:59

first.

9:09

Dot dot. I'm

9:12

hungry

9:12

too. I think there should

9:14

be food in here. We just need to find

9:16

the entrance. No

9:25

shit. Here's the

9:30

elevator lift. It's under the head just like puck

9:33

said.

9:33

You gotta activate it

9:35

though. Should be a trigger around here. Look

9:37

for a way in. Talk to

9:40

us. I don't know. Like, a

9:42

hatch or lever or

9:44

a button. Dot?

9:57

Dot keypad. Dot?

10:03

A keypad shit.

10:07

Alright. I don't

10:09

know the code. Dot. I don't even

10:11

think Chuck did. He said they were changed

10:13

all the time, but they fixed

10:15

the table and the pad.

10:18

So that's something Shit.

10:38

I have no clue what it is. There's

10:41

power at least, but Done.

10:47

Damn it. I

10:50

thought this would have been hit, you

10:52

know. But

10:55

the only thing this place is useful for

10:57

now is just to get out of the sun.

11:00

Maybe wait till it gets darker.

11:02

At

11:04

least demon has some to eat.

11:05

We'll need him if we have any chance of

11:08

getting out of here now. Dye.

11:16

Dye. Dye.

11:18

Dye. Dye. Dye. Dye. Dye. Oh,

11:21

it's

11:22

called the Atlas.

11:23

It's an old missile silo.

11:26

Dye? No. No. No. Calm down. It's

11:28

not like that anymore. It's

11:30

very different now. At least

11:32

that's what I was told. There's a

11:34

bunch of converted rooms places to

11:37

grow food, gun range, movie

11:39

theater, anything you can imagine. It was

11:41

total, it was almost magical.

11:46

And my mother

11:48

used to live here. They

11:54

were right. There's

11:56

nothing out here. That's

11:58

why no one could ever escape PRIM.

12:03

I'm sorry, dot. I really

12:05

am. IIII

12:21

What? What are you saying?

12:24

Dot. Dot.

12:30

Tied, odd. If

12:34

all this wasn't hard enough, can't

12:36

even really talk to you. It's just Don't

12:44

die.

12:47

Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

12:50

You're probably

12:52

right. We're gonna be

12:53

okay. I thought What what do

12:56

I do? You heard

12:58

something? Oh

13:04

my god. The cuts in your back, those

13:06

still hurt you?

13:08

Dot. What

13:11

did they make

13:13

you do?

13:15

Digging? That's what you did in the war

13:18

camps? Todd.

13:19

Did they know who you

13:21

were? But they

13:25

found out. God.

13:29

Jeez.

13:31

Look at you. That scar is all

13:33

over. Some of these

13:35

are old. Are

13:38

those from before? When

13:41

we were getting blood drawn, they said, you were

13:43

in some city. God.

13:45

What was he called? City

13:47

of lost souls or some shit?

13:50

Mhmm. How long

13:52

were you there for? Die

13:55

die.

13:55

Mhmm. You're rocking.

13:59

What? Mhmm. Oh,

14:03

baby since you were a baby.

14:05

A dot. Dot. Oh,

14:07

a little older? I

14:11

wonder you can't read or write, but at least your

14:13

shreds are working? Dot.

14:20

I'm sorry. I I just

14:24

That must have

14:24

been awful.

14:26

You were by yourself?

14:31

Mhmm. Living

14:31

alone in a city

14:34

filled with infected? Jesus.

14:37

And I thought I had

14:39

a bed. Tied.

14:41

Tied. Mhmm.

14:43

Oh, me as a

14:46

baby? Tied. I group

14:49

at Lake Matthews.

14:50

It's this

14:51

little town outside Westport's borders.

14:53

A ways out.

14:54

That's where people are processed before they're let

14:57

into the city state. My

15:02

mom raised me there. My

15:04

dad, he died

15:07

long before I even knew of them, but

15:13

they met here. Todd?

15:15

I know. It's

15:17

weird.

15:17

And again, it's a long story, but

15:19

I didn't know all of it until recently.

15:29

Damn. Her little got wet. Fuck.

15:35

We're still good. We're

15:38

still good. Bye.

15:40

Bye. My

15:43

mom left me this. A

15:45

note, sent a 2 before she

15:47

died. He's a

15:49

well, an old friend of mine,

15:52

I guess. Was here when my dad was

15:53

here. I snuck it

15:56

in my boot before the arena, be

15:58

damned if I let anyone else have

15:59

it. It's the

16:02

last thing I have left from her.

16:05

What

16:07

does it say? It

16:10

says, to Samuel v

16:12

puck,

16:12

I need to trusted

16:14

you, so I will too.

16:17

Help Alex become a man like his father.

16:21

That's it.

16:24

But I guess it says

16:26

everything. Growing up.

16:29

I never really thought my mom

16:31

cared, but also

16:34

I didn't know what she went through before.

16:37

Life hit her pretty

16:39

hard.

16:42

I'm sorry. This is nothing compared

16:44

to you and Dot. Dot.

16:47

Dot. I don't

16:49

know. Part

16:52

of me always felt like the better version of my mom

16:54

was left behind here at the

16:56

Atlas. That

17:00

was when she used to be happy, before

17:03

she became broken.

17:10

Thai.

17:10

I know. Who isn't broken

17:12

in some way anymore? The way

17:14

this world is? That's what it

17:16

does to you. Growing

17:18

up. I didn't understand that

17:22

or her.

17:23

Just got so angry. Maybe

17:28

she was really just trying to protect me from what

17:30

everything was, like outside our

17:32

home. Thanks.

17:39

Yeah. I'm fine, really.

17:45

I never talk about her. Maybe

17:48

it's easier if I tell someone who can't talk

17:50

back. Time. Yeah.

17:52

I mean that in a good way.

17:58

We were so close

18:00

to getting somewhere. Almost

18:03

felt like my mom wanted us to find this

18:04

place. I mean, demon led

18:07

us right it. Almost feels

18:10

like she's still here.

18:14

Die.

18:15

Hey, Damon. You know the

18:18

code? They give that to you?

18:21

I

18:22

suppose I could trial nine thousand nine

18:25

hundred and ninety nine combinations. Dot

18:27

dot dot.

18:28

Probably get locked out for sure if we

18:31

do that. This

18:36

place would have made it possible to go

18:38

back to prim. Do something about everything

18:40

we went through. Help the others.

18:42

I just

18:45

just really thought this was

18:47

it, you know? Right,

18:50

mom. What?

18:54

What? What

18:56

about the

18:56

note? Dot. I

18:59

don't understand you. What? Dot dot dot dot

19:01

dot dot dot dot 2 dot. Stop.

19:04

Stop. Stop. Okay. Don't tear it even

19:07

more. Already been

19:10

damaged enough.

19:14

What? What'd you say?

19:16

Two. To Samuel

19:18

V. Puck. I need it

19:20

trusted you. I don't

19:22

get it. Oh,

19:23

two. Wait.

19:26

You think that's

19:27

part of the code? Todd.

19:29

Samuel v

19:31

wait. V is in pucks middle name.

19:35

He said that my mom got his name wrong.

19:37

V could be a five. Times.

19:40

2. Sam, that could

19:42

be an s, so seven on the

19:44

pad, and puck is AP7

19:48

also. That'd be 2757.

19:56

Dut? Damn.

20:00

Thought we had something there. Maybe

20:03

there's something else we

20:05

missed.

20:05

At least you have

20:08

more words now. Number

20:10

two, can you say that again?

20:14

Shot. Damn. Really?

20:17

Gone already? We

20:19

can keep trying maybe eventually it'll

20:20

stick. You

20:21

died. No shit.

20:25

Back up. Back up. The code actually

20:27

worked. Just second for

20:29

the elevator.

20:40

So did we get

20:43

in?

20:43

Todd? What about demon?

20:46

Well, I guess

20:47

he wants to stay out here.

20:50

Mom did want me to

20:52

come here. This note

20:54

proves it. God.

20:57

Damn. I don't know

21:00

if I'm ready for this. Alright.

21:06

Okay. Here it goes.

descendants. Yeah.

24:26

It was still running. I knew it.

24:30

III Yeah.

24:33

I

24:33

think we're safe.

24:35

I don't know if anyone

24:37

would still be here. There's

24:40

only one and I know would be able 2. And

24:43

I'm not even sure they're alive at this

24:45

point. What was it?

24:47

Twenty ten? It's been

24:49

almost seventeen years. Yeah.

25:03

This place has seen better days.

25:07

Dot. Dot.

25:13

Dot. It's

25:14

a parking garage. The

25:17

previous owner had a thing

25:18

for cars. Don't know

25:21

if the gas in these would have held out

25:23

this long, but If

25:25

they we give demon a rest. Enough

25:28

fuel, and we could even drive back

25:31

to Westport. This

25:35

place for sure has guns. I

25:37

could replace the stamped crossbow.

25:39

Hate this thing. Done.

25:46

Yeah. I think there might be food

25:49

too. But it

25:50

could be old. Pretty dark.

25:52

I wonder where the light

25:54

switch is. Done.

26:00

Jeez. Alright. Nice

26:02

work. Done.

26:07

I don't know. What the

26:09

hell is

26:10

that? It's

26:12

coming from inside here.

26:15

This was

26:21

the auto shop, I guess.

26:22

I think this would

26:25

have been where sheep. No.

26:27

Don't touch that.

26:29

Diet. Is that

26:33

mom? Hello,

26:36

Alex.

26:36

Oh my god.

26:39

Mom. If

26:39

you're hearing this, that means you've figured out

26:42

the message I sent. Well

26:44

done. I have

26:46

no

26:46

idea. If you'll ever come here, but I wanted to

26:48

give you the option if you needed a place

26:50

to

26:50

go. With all

26:52

the uncertainty in the world, this is one

26:54

of the few locations I knew to be

26:56

safe. When did she record this? You left

26:58

for training in Westport a few

27:00

days ago. So There you

27:02

go. Maybe this will end up being like

27:04

a graduation

27:04

gift. Lucky you.

27:07

I only came back here

27:09

to activate your code, add a few extra

27:11

security protocols, and

27:14

then will head back home to

27:16

Lake Matthews. She died before

27:17

my training was over. I almost

27:21

didn't finish because

27:23

of it. I'm

27:24

sorry for

27:26

one. I

27:30

know how hard it is to talk and

27:32

I have been the easiest to along with.

27:36

It's not fair. I

27:40

know. But when I look at

27:42

you, I

27:42

see pieces of the people that I

27:45

lost, your

27:48

father, I had

27:51

anita. I swear if

27:53

I didn't

27:55

see come out me, I wouldn't even think you were

27:58

mine. I'm sorry,

28:00

that's not

28:01

funny, but it's easier to

28:03

say to the cat than it is to

28:06

you. I guess

28:06

that's where I get it from.

28:08

Maybe

28:08

you'll never see my message. Maybe

28:11

this is just a huge waste of

28:13

time. I'm

28:13

here now, aren't I?

28:15

And you may see it long after I'm

28:16

gone, but

28:18

it's worth it if you do. I

28:19

don't know. If you ever do, I just want you to know

28:22

that I am very proud of

28:23

you.

28:23

You were becoming

28:24

every bit a man like your father was.

28:29

Alex.

28:29

I wish.

28:31

Oh, I

28:32

wish things could have been different.

28:37

That we hope could have been, I

28:39

don't know,

28:40

a family, whatever the definition of

28:42

that is anymore.

28:44

But one thing I have had to learn is

28:47

that so much of our lives is outside of our

28:49

control. Whatever

28:51

happens happens.

28:53

And I wish

28:54

that I was stronger in dealing with all

28:57

of that.

28:59

Whenever you

28:59

find this, if you

29:02

do,

29:03

know that I love you. You,

29:08

Alex, and I have always loved you. I love

29:10

you, mom. And even though I wasn't

29:12

always there for you, I will always be

29:15

with you.

29:25

Holex. Hey.

29:30

That's four words now. Time.

29:35

I have

29:36

to go. And

29:37

before someone finds out that I'm

29:39

here, Those books on the desk behind you, that is

29:42

every schematic and operating manual for the

29:44

entire facility. I made sure to

29:46

document everything in case anything

29:48

broke And

29:48

yes, believe me. It does and it

29:51

will.

29:52

I hope you

29:53

can make this place your own. Well,

29:58

unless she's still here. I

30:02

love you, Alex. Bye.

30:06

Can't believe it. Really didn't want

30:09

me to find the

30:09

Atlas, and we're here.

30:12

And I got to see her. It's

30:15

just God.

30:19

God. I guess this

30:21

places ours unless

30:25

that. She Oh,

30:30

her?

30:30

I guess my mom's referring

30:33

to me? Oh, shit. Gloria.

30:40

Who else would be

30:42

here? Now

30:45

mind telling me who the hell

30:48

you are and

30:50

how the fuck did you

30:52

get into my Atlas?
