We

0:05

are aligned. Decentence,

0:12

written and directed by KC

0:14

Whelan. Chapter

0:21

ten, caged

0:24

me Part

0:28

one of two. What

1:14

now?

1:22

This is the boar. Go

1:26

ahead, patch him through. Hello?

1:33

Is this thing working? 2 out again.

1:36

Chancellor.

1:38

There you are. Four, I

1:41

have doctor Andreas breathing

1:43

down my

1:43

neck. We need those samples ASAP.

1:46

That. Yes. Yes. I understand.

1:49

They will be sent right away like I promised.

1:52

Already being packed up as we speak. It

1:54

beyond the truck going out tonight.

1:56

Good. Good. I'll let him know.

1:58

You're

1:59

doing a great service with all this.

2:02

Will you be traveling here as well.

2:05

Want to make sure to show our gratitude.

2:07

I'm going to try to make it down there next week.

2:09

Can I just have some important best of these under

2:11

right here? How are you

2:13

coming?

2:15

We have a full plate with some plans

2:18

in motion. Very important

2:20

Republic

2:21

business. I'm sure you understand.

2:23

Oh, I'm sorry you won't be able to make

2:25

it. Maybe next time.

2:28

Maybe. Little easier for

2:30

you to come here, you know, for security

2:32

and

2:33

appearances. I'm sure something

2:35

can be arranged.

2:36

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

2:39

Give my best to the wife. Will do.

2:42

Good luck on your festivities.

2:46

Thanks. What

2:49

a magnanimous prick? What?

2:59

Wallace, what's our status? The

3:01

stopping grounds are being retrofitted as

3:03

we speak. We're installing obstacles

3:05

in various structures and trying to make

3:08

it more

3:09

spotting. When will it be

3:11

red My crews are gonna work

3:13

through the night to make sure it's done. Good.

3:16

Then I'll set the start time at dawn.

3:18

I 2 get things moving along as soon

3:20

as possible. I'll be sure to let

3:23

them know.

3:25

What? For the love

3:27

of What is

3:28

it?

3:31

Cheese. Can a girl drink whiskey

3:33

and peace? You

3:34

know how rare this kind is? Sorry, ma'am,

3:36

but you're gonna wanna see this. Walk.

3:41

You're slimy hands off me. Try

3:43

that again. I dare you.

3:46

Vera, you came back.

3:49

Was it my choice? Surprised,

3:51

Jackal. I didn't think you could do it.

3:53

Wasn't me? She captioned

3:55

her. You lose

3:58

something? Nicoma. My

4:01

best trapper continues to live up to

4:03

her name. Couldn't stay away.

4:05

Could you? Copy. One snooping around

4:07

the 10 dorms. I heard you

4:09

were looking for an outsider.

4:11

This one seemed really out of place

4:14

trying to get in the way What were you

4:16

up to, Myra? Fuck

4:18

you. And your game. I know

4:20

what you're gonna do next. Don't you

4:22

now? Well, again, how

4:24

that might change the odds?

4:27

Put her with the others from Westport. Make

4:29

sure they're all locked down good and tight,

4:32

especially Mira here. She's

4:35

a slippery one. You

4:37

betrayed what we stood for. You

4:39

know what you've done. I've heard

4:41

enough. Wallace,

4:43

Jack o, escort her. Then head back to the

4:45

stadium. We don't have a lot of time.

4:47

Right. You

4:49

heard a move

4:51

Hey. Hey.

4:53

Nowhere to go now, lady. They're

4:55

gonna hear about this, I swear. I

4:57

will tell them myself. You know the rules.

5:01

I suppose you'll be wanting a reward,

5:03

nacoma. How

5:05

about we start with a glass of whatever

5:07

that is? High

5:10

prize, but

5:12

worth

5:12

it. To

5:29

good health. Sure.

5:32

To that. You

5:37

know, you really do have a talent

5:40

for bringing me things I need. It's

5:42

a gift.

5:44

For a while there, I thought you'd left.

5:47

There was a lot to consider. I

5:50

did say you had a little time to decide

5:52

but then you took

5:54

a while.

5:55

Does that mean the offers off the table? Now

5:59

I never said that,

6:00

but I

6:02

have to ask, why now?

6:05

What made you change your mind?

6:07

Figured I could scrape a living somewhere

6:09

else. Get by for a while

6:11

with what I won from all this

6:15

or I can stay.

6:18

I live a lot better life for as long as

6:20

I was breathing.

6:21

Glad

6:22

to see it my way. Things

6:25

are going to change here soon. It's

6:27

essential to have people around I

6:29

can trust to be a part of that.

6:32

Does that mean I have a job? Of

6:34

course. It's only the

6:36

matter of a title. Let

6:40

me think. That

6:47

would be perfect. How

6:50

about the Shrew.

6:53

Seriously? And you're gonna do me

6:55

dirty like that? You

6:57

see, the shrew is small

6:59

yet incredibly dangerous. Even

7:01

for their size, they have enough venom to

7:04

kill two hundred mice. It's

7:06

potent enough to paralyze most of their prey.

7:09

Just like you.

7:11

Aren't you the walking encyclopedia? And

7:14

what can I say? I love animals.

7:17

I'll have you get

7:19

started after these next round of games

7:21

unless you're interested in heading out and

7:23

trapping some more contenders in the meanwhile. These

7:26

are going to be large shoes to

7:28

fill. Kinda wanted to see

7:30

how this next round ends

7:31

first, you know, bet on my

7:34

horses.

7:36

Now, I don't know if that's the wisest idea.

7:39

Thought you said the games aren't rigged? They

7:42

aren't. There is a

7:44

chance, just not a very

7:46

big one. The stomping

7:48

grounds aren't known for their winners. Either

7:51

way it'll be one hell of a show. Right?

7:55

That I can guarantee. 2

7:58

the games, to

8:00

the games. Come

8:16

on. My god. 999

8:19

Riley. Come on. We 2 go.

8:21

Alright. I'm coming. One sec.

8:26

Look at all this. I wasn't even

8:28

trying to win. I guess I'm just lucky.

8:31

This way, we gotta move. What is

8:33

it? Wait till we're outside.

8:42

When did you find out? The

8:44

game starts tomorrow morning. They're preparing

8:47

and stating it

8:47

now. We

8:48

don't have much time then?

8:49

No, we don't. Keep your head

8:52

down and follow me. We need to know

8:54

more. We need to get to Alvin.

9:00

Are we gonna get caught up here in the

9:02

open? We're not supposed to be in this section.

9:04

Right? Someone might

9:05

see. Relax. I have this. Infected

9:08

management. Who is it?

9:10

You know who it is. Come on.

9:12

Who would that be? I thought

9:15

you said you knew this guy. I

9:17

too. Al, it's Nicoma. Give

9:19

me a break. And

9:23

who is

9:24

this? A friend. Now let

9:26

me in, and I'll explain.

9:34

Alright. Who did you bring here? Riley.

9:37

She's chill. She's from Westport like

9:39

the others, came to help get her friends

9:41

home. That might as well be my

9:43

kids.

9:44

Oh, really, I

9:47

I'm so sorry for your loss. That must

9:49

have been devastating.

9:51

You have to know we did all we could

9:53

to try and help.

9:54

And I'm gonna need some more of

9:57

it.

9:57

You can say that again, jeez. Why

9:59

what happened?

10:00

What is this place?

10:02

Infected management. It's where we

10:05

house different subspace before

10:07

moving them around the compound. We gotta

10:09

find out what's in the plan for tomorrow. See

10:11

if we can't do the same as before, give our

10:13

contenders a fighting

10:13

chance. Not

10:14

sure how much that's gonna help this round. And

10:17

there's something else I need to show you

10:19

first. Come with me. You're

10:22

sure we can trust him. He's

10:24

a captive like the others, doesn't

10:26

like this place anymore than we do.

10:32

Before we

10:38

go into more detail, there's

10:40

the matter of my fee.

10:42

Again, what do you want

10:45

now? Look, I've got plenty of

10:47

weddings. I can share them. I have chips

10:48

too. Your money doesn't do me any

10:51

good. You got me in here. Now

10:53

I need you to get me

10:54

out. Wait. You what?

10:56

Him 2. He was spared the

10:58

worst. Well,

10:59

can you do it?

11:01

That's a

11:01

hell of a price, Alvin.

11:03

Something bad is going down, and

11:05

I sure hell don't 2 be

11:07

around when it does. Inside the arena?

11:10

Outside. I'm

11:11

afraid. Look

11:16

down there.

11:20

Oh my god. Are those

11:23

infected in those pens? I've

11:25

seen all this before. Not this

11:27

you haven't. By the loading

11:29

dock, those are

11:31

dead ones down there. What?

11:34

The infected that were just killed in the

11:36

arena, the ones the handlers could get to,

11:38

their bodies are being shipped off

11:40

somewhere. Various subspecies 2,

11:43

bulls, skin walker, sea dogs.

11:45

Why are

11:45

they going? They wouldn't tell me

11:47

outside my pay grade. I

11:49

don't need to tell you a dead infected is almost

11:52

as dangerous as a live 1, especially

11:54

when they start to decompose. Whatever

11:56

the intent, it is not gonna end

11:59

well. Jeez.

12:02

Thanks for telling us, I

12:04

guess.

12:05

That part comes for free. Now,

12:08

what you're really here for? Yeah.

12:10

I don't know if I can

12:12

guarantee you a release. It's gonna

12:14

be hard enough to get the others out of

12:16

here. Especially, with what's going

12:18

into the stadium. Why? What

12:20

do you know?

12:21

Promise me first. I

12:23

can't promise that. But we'll

12:27

try. Okay? We got

12:29

enough shit to deal

12:29

with, enough stacked up against us right

12:32

now. Well, I

12:35

guess that'll do. Does that mean you'd

12:37

help us? However, I

12:39

can, I suppose? So

12:42

here's the bad news. The boar

12:44

has three infected slated for the

12:46

arena. You've seen the skinwalkers already,

12:48

but for

12:48

this, the handlers

12:51

sedated and brought one the meanest of their

12:53

tribe.

12:53

That's it down there wearing the wool

12:56

skin. Uh-huh. I

12:58

think this one was in line to be

13:00

an alpha.

13:03

Next up is a little

13:05

new. A nomuraama.

13:09

They're feeding it Horse?

13:11

No. That's the infected's

13:14

captive.

13:15

Wait. What? The Nom Rama

13:18

are the only ones to ride

13:20

horses. This subspecies in

13:22

slaves and rides them for hunting,

13:24

they dig their claws into their

13:26

chest and hides to hold on. The

13:28

riders have long spears they

13:29

use, and they only say one thing over and

13:32

over. It's

13:36

old after a while I don't trust

13:38

me. So

13:38

that's all three.

13:39

I don't think they count the horse

13:42

because the worst one is last.

13:45

Buffalo, Bill.

13:47

No, shit. Uh-huh.

13:48

Damn it. After it got

13:51

stabbed a few times in the arena, Bildot

13:53

really pissed off, killed a bunch of

13:55

its own tribe, decimated

13:57

the skin walkers too, took just

13:59

about four full strength, strength bulizers just

14:01

to bring it in. It's

14:04

sedated now, which I doubt will

14:06

last long. They're moving it

14:08

into arena

14:08

now. Boy, I wouldn't want to be

14:11

there when it wakes up. That's

14:13

Bifalobina. It's huge. Bigger

14:15

than it looked on the TV. Back up.

14:17

Back up, don't let the handler see you,

14:20

please. That one already killed

14:22

Lisa. It almost got bare

14:24

2. Didn't seem like they could even hurt

14:26

it. Those three are all going

14:28

into the stomping

14:29

grounds. Uh-huh. And even if they

14:31

managed to kill the first two, don't

14:33

think they'll be given weapons that'll leave a mark

14:35

on

14:35

bail. It's a no win scenario.

14:38

Great.

14:38

I thought you said you could help us out.

14:41

Now now I've been thinking about

14:43

that. What if we gave them a

14:45

weapon to use against

14:47

Bill? So you got some way

14:49

to stop him, a mottigan or

14:51

something? I might.

14:54

It's a little unconventional but

14:57

it's right over

14:57

here. Is

14:59

it one

15:00

of these? Don't touch those. Their

15:03

artifacts recovered from infected tribes.

15:05

What is all this.

15:06

Broken bone, gross, and infected. Some

15:09

of them were made into little ornamental

15:11

items and tied together.

15:13

Are these dangerous?

15:14

At this

15:14

point, not likely, but it's better not to mess with

15:17

any of it. So

15:19

where's this weapon 1

15:21

Last man at the end, then

15:24

locked up a long while. He's

15:26

the last of his

15:27

kind, a very

15:29

special first generation. A behemoth.

15:35

You're familiar? Too

15:38

familiar. Got

15:40

real close. Ended up putting an hour through

15:42

its eye. I thought all

15:44

of these died. Inc.

15:46

Made them years ago. Right?

15:48

He may be old, but still

15:50

mean as hell. He's one of the

15:52

original infected fighters that the board brought

15:54

here. I think they captured him way

15:56

out where you all are from in Cali for

15:58

you. Been here so

15:59

long, you can't even sedate him anymore.

16:03

Might even be bigger than

16:05

though. Look. He's covered

16:07

in tattoos.

16:09

Weird. Most likely he had

16:11

those from when he was still human.

16:13

So How does this help us

16:16

exactly? I thought you said you had a

16:18

weapon. He's it.

16:20

This one will kill any

16:22

other infected he comes in contact

16:24

with.

16:24

Maybe the only thing that could possibly

16:27

stand up to Buffalo Bill. Wait.

16:30

Their big idea is

16:32

to put another massive killer

16:34

infected into the arena with our

16:35

contenders. You're an idiot.

16:38

You don't understand it. I've seen

16:40

the highlights from the previous battles.

16:42

Watch this. Whenever

16:45

they put him in the stadium with humans and

16:47

infected, he ignores the humans

16:49

completely he has

16:51

some inner rage toward the

16:53

infected that goes deeper than

16:55

any other drive. That's

16:57

even how they lure him back into

16:59

his pen and offering.

17:03

Different

17:03

subspecies of infected tend to extreme

17:06

hostility, tribes constantly warring between

17:08

each other. Can you imagine what

17:10

would happen if they ever started working

17:13

together? Thankfully,

17:13

they all seem to hate each

17:15

other. This one

17:17

1 particular takes it to a whole

17:20

another level. What

17:28

is the crowd saying. Frater.

17:31

But one of his

17:33

2, could be his name, could be something else.

17:36

This is what everyone calls

17:38

him

17:38

now. This

17:39

is the best you can come up

17:42

with.

17:42

You wanted a distraction. Didn't

17:44

you? That's a big one. Yeah. But

17:46

we'd need more than just this.

17:48

This doesn't help the contenders get

17:50

out. What else do you know about the

17:53

stadium? Not much. It's

17:55

huge about the size of Old

17:58

World sporting fits about thirty thousand

18:00

spectators on multiple levels. All

18:02

around the pit are

18:04

reinforced walls with curved

18:06

in metal bars along the perimeter

18:08

to prevent anything from crawling

18:10

out. The only time one ever

18:12

escaped is when an infected was thrown

18:14

out by

18:15

Frater. By that time, it didn't matter,

18:18

splat. How

18:18

are they

18:19

infected or people brought in?

18:22

Could that be reopened? They interview the

18:24

tunnels as usual. Those are

18:26

all controlled electronically. I believe

18:29

I can manually override those to let

18:31

Frado into the

18:31

stadium. But out, no idea

18:34

how that would

18:35

work. Is

18:36

there anyone who

18:37

would? Well, No

18:41

one I can think of offhand.

18:43

I mean, we might be able to

18:45

bribe some people or Wait

18:48

a minute. What

18:50

about will? That young man

18:52

you met here last time. He

18:54

designed most of the electrical subsystems. He

18:57

practically built this place.

18:59

Okay. Was he?

19:01

Right now. I I

19:03

have no clue. I

19:05

might be able to ask around, find

19:07

out if this shrimp title is good

19:09

for something. You remember

19:12

your

19:13

promise. Right? Course.

19:16

We'll be back. If you

19:18

come up with anything better than your

19:21

Alfredo option, you let

19:22

me know. Seriously.

19:24

I'll try, but you know that

19:27

old saying. The enemy of my enemy is my

19:29

friend.

19:30

Yeah. Trust me. That doesn't always

19:33

work out as well as you think.

19:36

Stay alive, Alvin.

19:45

This is going to be just great.

19:48

No one said this would be easy.

19:50

But if anyone's gonna our next

19:53

move. It'll be Will. He's like the

19:55

smartest guy here. And I'm

19:57

pretty sure he's on our side. Pretty

19:59

sure

19:59

Okay. I'm sure. And once we

20:02

talk to him, we'll figure this

20:04

all out.

20:12

We'll be back after a brief word

20:15

from our

20:16

sponsors. And now, we

20:18

continue with descendants. Will

20:26

see you right

20:26

now. What do you mean?

20:29

He's been locked in his lab all day.

20:31

Sorry. And I was specifically told

20:33

no one in or

20:35

out.

20:35

Come

20:35

on, myself. I

20:36

only 2 talk to

20:37

him. Yeah. It doesn't matter what you

20:40

want. You

20:40

know, I'm one of you now. Right?

20:42

Board just named me the show. Yeah.

20:44

It doesn't

20:45

matter

20:45

to me. Okay? And why do

20:47

you wanna see him anyway?

20:50

Well, Give me a

20:53

second, and I'll show you.

20:56

Riley, get over

20:57

here. Any luck?

21:00

Give me my bad.

21:02

Just play along. Check

21:06

these out seal NVG's

21:09

night vision goggles if you

21:11

weren't

21:11

aware. Super rare, very expensive. What

21:13

really? I've never seen

21:16

those before. I got a buyer

21:18

with

21:18

me too. Real interested in them. Aren't

21:21

you? Oh, yeah.

21:22

I need those for sure. That'll help

21:24

me see anything sneaking up in the

21:27

dog. Only

21:28

problem is they don't work right.

21:30

There's something wrong in the

21:31

trigger. I was hoping Will

21:34

could help out with that. It's probably

21:36

something simple. That way we can fix

21:38

anything.

21:38

Yeah. That's why. If

21:40

the

21:40

goggles don't work, there was less

21:43

to me. Wasting my

21:44

time? Come

21:45

on, ma'am.

21:46

Just tell you

21:47

what I'll do. I will split the profit with

21:49

you fifty fifty. They're worthless as

21:51

they are right now. Yeah. And how much is

21:54

that?

21:55

Fifty. Oh,

21:56

fifty. Wow. That wasn't. Get

22:00

the foot. You're not

22:03

serious. Fifty thousand? All we

22:05

gotta

22:05

do is fix them up and the money is

22:07

ours.

22:09

What do you have to 2, partner?

22:13

He ain't going anywhere?

22:15

Nope. He's in

22:17

his lab, isn't he?

22:21

Alright. Fine.

22:22

Fine. Fine.

22:23

Go ahead. Okay. Just make it quick. Okay. Make

22:25

it quick. You won't regret it, man.

22:28

Thanks.

22:28

Oh, wait. Wait.

22:32

Wait.

22:33

You're going 2? I need to

22:35

make sure that I 2 work and they won't fall apart

22:37

the minute I need to use

22:39

them. Fine. Fine. Just

22:42

just don't hurry. Alright?

22:49

Cheese. Look at this

22:52

place. So many gadgets.

22:54

How

22:54

well do

22:55

you know Will?

22:57

I might say less than Alvin,

22:59

but we all share a common threat.

23:02

At least Will was an old fan

23:04

one. You have a weird

23:07

relationship with people here. Don't

23:09

you? Like

23:10

betting on a lot of risk. And

23:13

your bets have been paying off lately.

23:16

Right? Uh-huh.

23:20

Oh. Sorry.

23:23

I I didn't know anyone else was in

23:26

here. Are you

23:27

okay? I'm fine. Just gave

23:29

me a few spooners.

23:34

Damn are you okay? Will, you're all sweaty

23:36

and pale. Oklahoma. How how

23:38

did you get in here? Pascinated

23:40

to God? Will.

23:43

Hey, you think you could take a look at these NVGs. Let me

23:45

know what's wrong with them. What what why

23:47

are

23:47

why are you shouting? Oh.

23:52

Oh. Yeah. III get

23:54

it.

23:54

All part of our cover. Seriously,

23:57

you

23:57

okay? I'll

23:59

be I'll be fine. Who

24:01

who is this? I'm

24:04

Riley, a friend from Westport. You

24:06

get my address. You you were one of

24:08

the ones who came to 2, you?

24:10

I thought the board captured all of

24:12

you. I'm

24:12

the only one who's left.

24:14

Can consider yourself

24:16

lucky. Now, What are

24:19

you working on? That looks

24:22

familiar. I I have to finish this. I

24:24

have to This

24:28

this this this was a mod again.

24:30

Only I've been working on on making

24:32

some improvements, a new

24:34

one.

24:34

Yours is a lot smaller. That's

24:37

the point. I I love

24:39

the design Wayland gunpowder

24:41

is expensive. These these these are quieter

24:44

and more powerful against infected.

24:47

But if they were more

24:48

portable, they'd be perfect. III

24:50

almost have this one done because

24:52

combines both. I

24:53

spent a lot of

24:54

time with the men who created the original

24:57

tattoo. I

24:58

think he'd

24:58

been impressed You

25:01

did? Thanks.

25:05

So you

25:06

you you wanted me to take a look at those

25:09

MVGs? Said this was our cover. They

25:11

worked fine. Oh, right.

25:14

Right. Then then why are

25:16

you here?

25:17

You know, I'm already in

25:19

trouble. Right? Look, I

25:21

get

25:21

it. But this is

25:23

more important. We

25:25

need you to 2 do

25:29

what?

25:29

To help us break again.

25:31

You don't think

25:34

I already tried. Out several

25:36

times. And and what happened? It's why I'm

25:38

stuck here now about ready to

25:40

peel my own skin off. What

25:42

did she do to you? What

25:44

she kept from me. About

25:46

control. Well,

25:49

you're the only one

25:52

who knows this place inside and out enough to actually be able

25:54

to do

25:54

something. Breaking her game isn't

25:57

going to change anything. She she'll

25:59

just find another way to get

26:01

more what you want. If if I

26:03

try anything now, it'll just get me

26:05

killed. And and why? To

26:07

save three more people do do you have

26:09

any idea how many were already

26:11

lost in in in those arenas? No.

26:15

No.

26:15

I I have to finish this. I I 2 to.

26:18

Well, come on, please.

26:24

What was

26:25

the point in coming in here

26:28

then? We're wasting time.

26:29

What if

26:30

we didn't just break? The

26:33

game. What if we brought down all of it?

26:38

You you won a dismantle PRIM?

26:42

Everything she built like like that's even possible.

26:45

Could it

26:46

be done? You would know. You

26:48

created a lot of the tech yourself. I

26:52

I

26:52

did. So you also know

26:54

its weaknesses. We'd or

26:57

if

26:57

you. Then

26:58

why not

26:58

help us? We've been working

27:01

on something. A plan

27:03

sort of. But we can't do anything

27:06

without you.

27:09

What did you have in mind exactly?

27:13

Okay. We're still working out the

27:15

details, but we got an ace up

27:17

our

27:17

sleeve. I

27:18

don't know if

27:19

it's much of an ace. Alvin

27:21

says he has a large infected

27:23

that doesn't like any others.

27:25

Yeah.

27:26

Fratero. The boar intends

27:29

to release buffalo bill and two

27:31

other high class infected into the

27:34

stomping grounds with our remaining contestants. And Alvin

27:36

wanted to release 2 during the fight into

27:38

the stadium. They need something in

27:40

there.

27:40

Otherwise, they won't last long no matter

27:42

what we do. Pretty damn

27:46

risky. Throwing another and if that

27:48

convicted into the 2, that that that

27:50

freighto was

27:50

unpredictable. That's what I was saying.

27:53

But it it might work.

27:55

Could in fact be their only

27:57

shot? III doubt the board would give would

27:59

give them any weapons where that would do

28:02

much against

28:02

bill, but it's

28:05

still a

28:06

stretch. It'll be chaos in there.

28:08

And then while that's going on, maybe

28:10

we can figure out how to get the contestants

28:13

out. Every

28:15

everyone will 1 be there.

28:18

Right? In in the

28:20

stadium? After last rounds that

28:22

this one is 1 to be more popular

28:24

than

28:24

ever.

28:25

Does that matter? We

28:27

have to stop it. No. No. You don't you

28:29

don't understand. I I mean, print will

28:32

be understaffed. There

28:34

there won't be as many manning the walls or

28:36

or or security points.

28:38

The guards will be watching the match on

28:40

on TV, focusing on on what happens.

28:42

So that's the time to strike.

28:45

But but not not with just Fredo.

28:47

You would need more more distractions

28:50

outside the

28:50

arena, may maybe something that could

28:53

also increase your numbers. Like

28:55

what? Right. The camps. If

28:59

enough were freed. At the

29:01

right time, they they would easily outnumber

29:03

the board army. I've seen those

29:05

people many are weak, even sick

29:07

looking. Given the chance

29:09

of

29:09

freedom, they will fight with every breath

29:12

they have left, we all

29:14

would.

29:14

There's no way the board

29:16

would be able to contain them and the

29:19

fight inside the stadium at the same

29:21

time. You think you can do that?

29:23

Me? No. I would

29:26

I would have to rely on on on

29:28

YouTube. I can point you in in the

29:31

right direction and give you

29:33

instructions, but I'm I'm stuck

29:35

inside

29:35

here. Are y'all almost done in

29:38

there? Almost

29:39

this this thing is pretty tricky,

29:42

but I I think I can fix it.

29:44

It's well worth the

29:45

cost. Good.

29:47

Good. Let's just hurry a

29:50

crack.

29:50

But what about

29:53

Nick and the others in the arena? They're

29:55

stuck inside. Even if we do send Fredo

29:58

to

29:58

help, can we get them out?

29:59

No. That that's gonna be tricky.

30:02

There's a way to open the control points

30:04

between Freda's containment cell and

30:06

stadium. That's easy because they've they've done

30:08

it before in in other games.

30:10

I can give you the code

30:12

2 and Alvin can execute

30:14

it, but opening the doors

30:16

to get someone out 1 that that has

30:18

to be done manually and in

30:20

person. And we can't do

30:23

that. The

30:23

exit tunnel will will be surrounded by the

30:25

boars people for sure. We can't lower a

30:27

rope or something? Pouted.

30:33

Honestly, about the only way to get

30:36

them out is is to knock

30:38

one of the walls down.

30:41

Shit. Like

30:45

with a bomb, Something

30:47

like

30:47

that. Why?

30:49

Maybe we have one. What

30:51

about the bastard? They're gonna

30:54

have to narrow that down. We're

30:56

in

30:56

him. Who are you talking about?

30:58

Not a person.

31:00

A truck. It has a massive

31:03

madigan with compressed

31:05

air

31:05

tanks. And it's a hybrid with lots

31:07

of batteries too.

31:08

Would any of that work?

31:13

Perhaps if it's parked near the

31:16

stadium's maintenance gates, that that that might

31:18

be enough to blow out the hinges. But

31:20

it'd be better if if if your car bomb had a

31:22

little extra help. I think I

31:24

I have all the pieces needed to do

31:26

that here like like

31:29

a like a timer and and extra

31:30

fuel, that would cause a

31:31

hell of a distraction, and the infected in

31:34

the state you can get out too.

31:35

It it it 2 be chaos. Could

31:38

could give you enough time to get the workers

31:40

from the camp in the tunnels Wayland

31:42

outside the

31:42

city. With me

31:45

included? I doubt anyone will be guard you

31:47

once everything starts going

31:48

bad outside. I bet

31:49

that'll give us a chance to get 2 and the

31:52

others out 2, even Alvin.

31:55

It's going to

31:55

be risky 2. Won't have much

31:58

time. The board will be focused on keeping her

32:00

city together. She she's not gonna care

32:02

about your friends at

32:04

that point. Point. This

32:06

place is what she cares about

32:08

most. Here.

32:10

Let me let me get together what you need for your

32:13

truck.

32:14

You're sure about this will. We

32:16

are asking a lot. I

32:18

don't know if we can guarantee your

32:19

safety. You you're

32:22

bringing this placed

32:22

down. Right? Well, yes. But if you're

32:25

not sure, I'm positive. You

32:27

you don't know a prim like

32:29

I

32:29

do. Let me ask

32:31

you something. Did did

32:33

either of you know your mother or

32:35

or your father? Until I

32:38

was six, when

32:40

they both

32:41

died. I left France when I was twenty

32:44

three, and then everything happened. There

32:46

were older, and I

32:47

don't think they made it.

32:50

Well, I never knew

32:50

mine. My parents

32:52

were killed before I was even old

32:54

enough to remember what they even looked like.

32:56

There

32:57

there are countless children here who

33:00

can say the same. Oh,

33:03

god.

33:04

I'm one of the lucky ones. But

33:07

only because of what III can

33:08

do if

33:10

there's any chance to

33:13

end all of this even if it means

33:16

risking myself I'll take

33:17

it. That's what I was hoping to

33:20

hear. You all one of the

33:22

good ones will. I hope you

33:24

know that.

33:24

This might be our

33:28

only shot. Here,

33:47

place this directly on the hybrid batteries

33:49

in the truck. It has

33:51

a timer on it for sixty seconds.

33:53

Should be enough to do

33:55

what we need. You have to

33:57

get the vehicle as close to the gate

33:59

as you can for it to work. and

34:03

here, I've been modifying some

34:05

of the board's radios. These will

34:07

let you monitor what they're what what they're saying

34:09

on channel 1, but if you

34:11

want to talk to each other and and me, click here. I

34:13

made a special encoded channel

34:15

and and these

34:18

aren't affected by the scramblers.

34:20

Damn! You really

34:21

are a freaking wizard, aren't

34:23

you? Well, well,

34:26

I try.

34:27

0II

34:29

meant to 2, how are Alex

34:31

in Dot

34:31

doing?

34:33

What? And they made it to to Westport. Right?

34:36

That that's that's why you came to help, wasn't

34:38

it? Wait. They're

34:39

alive. We thought they died in

34:42

the arena. You

34:43

don't know? I snuck

34:46

them out right after their game started through

34:48

the

34:49

tunnel. No We haven't had anything.

34:52

Where would they have gone?

34:54

Alright. Alright. Enough

34:54

is enough. I can't beat

34:57

this up all

34:58

day. Check them

34:59

out. Right? Right? Hit the

35:02

lights.

35:02

Wow. They

35:03

work perfect.

35:07

We're done here.

35:11

Okay. Your chips. Give me what you

35:14

have. Pay

35:14

me. You know. Here's ten

35:16

thousand. I'll give you the rest

35:18

after the game tomorrow. Thanks.

35:20

Wait. Wait. That wasn't

35:23

the deal.

35:24

Here you go, Seal. Why don't you take this ten k

35:26

for now? And I'll pay you the other fifteen

35:28

tomorrow. It's a deal then.

35:32

What what what's what did you all answer stuff in the box? Those

35:34

are good parts. They

35:35

were worth treating. The hell you're

35:38

doing

35:38

what the fuck is

35:39

going on here? We

35:41

were just You don't trust

35:44

me? Fine. Take the

35:46

energies. Hold on to them till tomorrow. At least

35:48

I know the work

35:49

now. You better

35:50

not break them. Wait.

35:52

What what what? Now

35:54

that

35:55

they work because they're worth more than

35:57

fifty k to me. Along

35:59

with this other stuff. Why don't

36:01

I come back tomorrow for the

36:03

MDGs? And I'll give you an

36:05

additional

36:05

fifty. Seriously? Look,

36:08

I deal with many one of

36:10

a kind old world items internationally.

36:13

You help us

36:15

out here or there? I

36:17

make it worth it

36:19

for you. Come

36:20

on, 2. Don't fuck this up

36:22

for

36:22

me. I'm

36:23

one of you now. Alright. Okay. Okay. I'm

36:25

not loud and steel nose wouldn't take

36:28

his place. Look, I'll be here all day

36:30

tomorrow.

36:31

Okay? I'll just be over

36:34

the day shift, but you better fucking pay up.

36:35

You better not break that. Crosma

36:38

are hope

36:40

to die.

36:41

We'll be back. I'll see

36:43

you tomorrow. Glad

36:47

I could help. Holy

36:55

shit. That

36:57

was close. Good thinking on

36:59

your toes back there. That was all

37:01

of my chips. I kept raising

37:03

the amount. I hope we don't

37:05

actually need more. We won't.

37:08

This time tomorrow, this is going

37:10

to be a very different

37:11

perm. And

37:12

did you hear what he said about Alex and

37:14

Dot? We got out. Where did

37:16

they go? Hopefully

37:17

to get help 2 Wilson,

37:20

because something tells me we're gonna need

37:24

it. Come

37:43

on. Come on. Someone must have

37:45

heard our message. Right? Mhmm.

37:51

Come on.

37:56

1 one's gotta be out there.

38:02

Please listen. Please listen. To the

38:04

two

38:07

thousand two hundred and sixty cents.

38:10

We have an encore event that

38:12

will take us back into the ocean.

38:14

Being ground stadium. The last surviving contestants

38:16

have a great and a

38:18

winner take all bonus

38:21

rounds. No

38:22

fucking way. Vera and

38:23

Vincent, face off again stream. I didn't

38:26

do nothing. Why would why would they

38:28

do that?

38:30

And hate approval, mad

38:32

god, tomorrow morning, a tunnel to be

38:34

buried. You can't wait. You can't wait.

38:38

Bore this once in a life time event begins.

38:40

Space is limited to be

38:42

sure to focus on us as soon

38:45

as

38:45

possible. We a special

38:48

means. This is

38:49

just sick. They're never gonna be able

38:51

to leave. Come

38:52

on. Come on to the two,

38:55

sir. Sounds like Lisa didn't

38:58

make it, did she?

39:03

Damn it. Sun

39:07

up. When

39:09

is that? What time is it? We have, like,

39:12

ten hours

39:14

God. What are we gonna do? We

39:16

have to do something. Right? Come

39:22

on.

39:36

Doors open. I

39:39

never realized this

39:42

place was so fucking big.

39:46

Die

39:46

die. Any luck? Like,

39:49

I

39:49

don't know if anyone hurt us, but we

39:52

sure as hell

39:54

heard them. Prime is broadcasting about the next match, and

39:56

our friends are about to get slaughtered.

39:58

Wouldn't be the first time they've sent out one of

40:00

those

40:00

1. What? Did you hear

40:03

what I said? We already lost one of our friends 10 their 2,

40:05

and now we're about to lose two

40:07

more. What do you want for me,

40:10

kid? What do you think? How about a

40:12

little help?

40:13

I'm I'm not going anywhere. You wouldn't have

40:15

to. We'd go, but we

40:18

have nothing with us.

40:20

Okay. So what? Your plan

40:22

is going all the way back

40:24

there. And then you,

40:25

too, are going to fight against

40:28

the whole eighty

40:31

dot. Again, I told

40:33

you it's suicide. Just give

40:35

us the chance. All we need

40:37

is weapons, maybe rations, any thing

40:39

you could spare. Please. I

40:41

mean, that's still a lot.

40:43

Come on. The fight starts to sun up. We

40:45

don't have much time. But

40:48

I can't leave them

40:49

behind. I can't. Not if there's any chance for

40:50

me to do

40:51

something about it, and you are

40:53

a only shot to

40:56

try.

40:57

You aren't

40:58

going to accept no as an answer.

41:00

Are you? Probably not.

41:03

Why would I expect anything

41:06

different? Okay.

41:08

Follow me. Thank

41:09

you. No. No. No.

41:12

Don't thank yet. Let's go

41:15

see what I

41:18

have. Alright.

41:25

Take your pick. Dot. Dot.

41:28

Holy shit. This is

41:30

incredible.

41:31

Well, it was. Quite

41:33

the collection used to be

41:36

bigger. Take only

41:38

what you know how to use and what you

41:40

can carry. Don't waste my

41:43

stuff. Body armor, kevlar

41:45

helmets, fragmentation

41:47

grenades, you really are ready

41:48

for a war, aren't you? The surface

41:50

is a day dangerous place. I

41:52

needed to be prepared. You

41:55

mind if we take

41:57

the body

41:59

armor? Maybe

42:00

those two grenades?

42:02

Well, as long

42:02

as you bring them back. Right?

42:05

Of course. We'll return 10 when

42:07

we're done. Got it.

42:09

Uh-huh. Nah.

42:10

I mean, we will. Maybe not

42:13

the

42:13

grenades. What's with a couple

42:15

empty spots in the wall?

42:17

I'm missing a few. From the last

42:19

time someone came through here and

42:22

borrowed weapons from

42:23

me, a special gold

42:26

one

42:27

went there.

42:28

Any idea where that might be?

42:31

How should I

42:34

know? Mhmm.

42:37

Right. Dot.

42:40

A shotgun? You sure? What

42:43

about for distance?

42:47

A 10 too?

42:50

2. K. Oh,

42:52

kid, you can only

42:53

have one now.

42:54

Then I'll take the 10 fifteen

42:56

all

42:57

the way.

42:57

Or is this an M sixteen? What I've been trained

43:00

on. Good for close and far away.

43:02

So grab your rounds and gear. There's a

43:04

bag you can use.

43:06

Only what you

43:08

can

43:08

carry. I mean,

43:09

I was eyeing that nice Barrett m eighty two sniper rifle. It's not

43:11

gonna happen, kid. That one's

43:14

mine.

43:14

Come on. Load up. I

43:15

wanna get

43:18

to

43:18

bed. You sure you don't wanna come with us?

43:21

2. No.

43:25

No. Thank

43:26

you. Come

43:26

on. What else you got going on

43:29

down here? No offense

43:31

kid. Knowing what your

43:33

up against

43:34

I have a

43:35

feeling that once you walk out that

43:38

door, there's no way you're

43:40

coming back.

From The Podcast

We're Alive

Listen to the entire epic series, which follows Survivors in Los Angeles after the world has been turned upside down. It begins with “A Story of Survival” which spans from Chapters 1-48. Our survivors band together, fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that the Infected are far from the biggest threat they will have to face.The adventure continues with two mini-series:“Lockdown” - A small group of inmates and prison guards are trapped in the T-block at Twin Towers Jail. They are forced to work together and find a way to escape while the rest of the world ends around them.“Goldrush” - Set 17 years after the main events of “A Story of Survival”, this is a recollection story that describes the efforts of the four Soldiers as they attempt a side mission to retrieve a suspected stash of gold bullion.Our newest season is “We’re Alive: Descendants”:The story of survival continues; the fight is not over.18 years after the Outbreak, the world is starting to re-organize and rebuild, but many different forms of humanity are still struggling to survive in the aftermath. Nicholas Tink grew up in the shadow of his father- the late, great, Saul Tink. Little does he know that deep in the places where infected dwell, another descendant lies waiting. Content Warning: This podcast contains descriptions of graphic violence, sexual references, and strong language.
