Present Day. 2042.
In Berrington, the next morning, Kyle wakes up and sits up in bed to see Sarah isn't in bed. Kyle then walks downstairs to see that Sarah is preparing coffee. Sarah turns and presents a small smile on her face.
Sarah: Morning, sleeping beauty.
Sarah picks up a large mug filled with coffee.
Sarah: Made you some coffee. Alicia handed me some.
Sarah hands Kyle the mug and he takes a sip of it, before sighing with content.
Kyle: Haven't had a good cup of joe in years. Surprised you know how to make it.
Sarah: You forget that before here, I worked as a waitress in Cratersville. Coffee was a simple basic concept once Colin taught it to me.
Kyle: You're right. Thanks.
Kyle looks up from his cup of coffee.
Sarah: What?
Kyle: Where is she?
Sarah sighs, before she and Kyle walk to the living room to find Rachel sitting on the couch, thinking as she sips a cup of coffee.
Kyle: Hey, kid.
Rachel turns to Kyle.
Rachel: Hey.....
Kyle: Trying coffee for the first time?
Rachel: Yeah....I don't see why adults love this shit so much. It literally takes like burnt crap.
Sarah laughs.
Sarah: Well, when you add some sugar and creamer to it, it tastes much better.
Rachel: Hmm....
Rachel looks between Kyle and Sarah.
Rachel: Guys...last night? I heard Peter...and what he called me.
Kyle and Sarah look at Rachel, concerned, as she looks down at the floor then looks up.
Rachel: Did I murder Laura? Was it right what I did?
Flashback
The rain continues to pour down on everyone as both the survivors and Berrington residents stare at Laura's dead body.
James: Rachel!
Cassandra: What the fuck did you just do?!
Morgan: Mom!
Kyle takes the revolver from Rachel.
Kyle: Give me that! What the hell were you thinking, Rachel?!
Caleb: Jesus Christ!
Samantha: Mom! Mom! No!
Samantha rushes over and cradles Laura's dead body. Morgan looks down at Laura's dead body in tears and shock.
Peter: No....
Connor: Holy god!
Zeke: Shit!
Chloe: We could get medicine! Maybe we could-
Dennis: "Medicine"?!
Andrew: She's fucking dead, Chloe! The girl just blew her brains out!
Peter: You just shot her. She's dead. You're a murderer.
Rachel frowns at Peter.
Zeke: Rachel....
Andrew: My God....
Peter turns to Kyle.
Peter: You promised Laura! You told her you were going to help her fix things!
Brigg: What the fuck did you people teach this girl?!
Present Day
Rachel: Peter called me a murderer...but....she was a bad person. She killed her husband and kept telling lies. I thought I did the right thing.
Kyle sets his mug on the dresser.
Sarah: Peter was right. Sometimes people do bad things, like Laura.
Kyle looks at Sarah in shock.
Kyle: Sarah....
Sarah: What?
Kyle: I mean, she had a gun to your head.
Sarah: I know, but she surrendered, Kyle...
Sarah turns to Rachel.
Sarah: And when you shot Laura, Rachel, she wasn't a threat anymore. If you kill someone when they're no longer threatening you, that's murder.
Rachel: Was it murder when you killed Quinton and those slavers after they surrendered?
Sarah: That was different, Rachel....They were sex-trafficing slavers....they were bad people....
Rachel frowns and turns away, walking over to the window.
Rachel: What now? What are we going to do?
Flashback
The people of Berrington face off with the survivors. Morgan clenches her fists. Sarah jumps in fear, before a gunshot is placed next to the feet of the Berrington people. The people of Berrington turn to see Margaret with her sniper rifle, running over to the side of the survivors.
Margaret: All of you better calm the fuck down!
James and Cassandra steps up, attempting to calm both sides down.
James: Hey, guys! Hey!
Cassandra: Guys....don't. This is going to go too far!
Shawn: Why not? It's already gone far enough...
Both sides stand off silently, before Anna walks in between both sides.
Anna: Hey! Hey! No! Everybody stop!
Brigg: Anna, move!
Anna: No! Hey! Everyone just back off! Chill out! Stop!
Peter: I had it under control! We talked Laura down, and these people fucking murdered her!
Anna looks over at the survivors.
Anna: Kyle, take Rachel, go home Please.
Anna points to the house. Kyle turns to the survivors.
Kyle: Everyone go back to the house.
Chris: What about them?
Rocky: Yeah, how do we know they won't try to sneak in our house and put a bullet in heads in our sleep after what just happened?
Kyle and Sarah walk up to Rachel.
Peter: Oh, just let them go back to the house?! What happens the next time one of us does something these people don't like? Are we expecting a bullet to the head?
Shawn: Keep running your fucking mouth and that's exactly what you'll get!
James: Shawn, stop!
Kayla touches Shawn's shoulder.
Kayla: Shawn, please....
Zeke: Look, it's not what happened.
Peter: Bullshit! It's exactly what happened! It was over, til the Tiny Killer decided otherwise!
Sarah: Look, we wouldn't do that! We never hurt any of you.
The Berrington residents glare at the survivors.
Kyle: Laura threatened us! She had my wife in a chokehold and a gun to her head!
Brigg: Rachel pointed the gun at Laura first!
Anna: Uncle Brigg, we get it, just back off, okay?
Brigg: Me?! Back off?! Seriously?!
Kyle takes Sarah's hand in his, before turning to the survivors.
Kyle: Everyone, let's go.
Rocky: You sure, Kyle?
Caleb: Yeah, who knows what these people will do?
Kyle: Guys, just go back home.
Present Day
Rachel: Guys? Guys? You think this is bad karma for being Dodge's daughter?
Rachel turns to Kyle and Sarah.
Sarah: What? No.
Sarah goes to sit next to Kyle.
Rachel: Well, my dad was a murderer and a monster....so maybe the spawns of murderers and monsters are just going to have a bad life.
Kyle: Rachel, you are not a monster. You made a call...You mad a mistake....but sometimes, bad people can be forgiven...
Sarah: But you were never bad, Rachel.
Rachel: I've done bad things, though, guys.
Sarah: We've all done bad things.
Rachel: It's going to be hard to earn these people's forgiveness, huh? Especially Samantha's.
Kyle and Sarah sit in between Rachel.
Sarah: We're going to fix this. All of us. We're going to help you atone. Make up for what you did.
Kyle: We're going to make this alright with the people of Berrington.
Flashback
The survivors head back towards the house, before James speaks to Kyle.
James: Kyle, this is bad. This is really bad.
Kyle: I know.....
James: We might have to-
Shawn walks up to James' shoulder.
Shawn: James, not now. Not in front of the people.
Cassandra tugs onto James' hand.
Cassandra: James, come on. Let's go.
Chloe is heard crying, before she touches Samantha's shoulder. Morgan angrily turns to Kyle's group and stomps over to them.
Chloe: Samantha, come on, girl. Come on.
Samantha: No....
Brigg: Come on, honey....Come on.
Bryan: It's okay, Samantha....
Brigg and Bryan stand Samantha up on her feet. Seth walks out and notices Laura's dead body.
Seth: Mom!
Samantha turns to Seth
Samantha: Seth! Honey! Don't look!
Seth: I heard a noise....and I couldn't find Dad anywhere....What happened to Grandma?
Samantha: Hey....baby...don't look, okay? Just....don't look. Let's go back in the house, okay?
Samantha leads Seth back to the house while Chloe kneels to Laura's dead body.
Chloe: Goddammit, someone help me with this!
Mikayla: I'll help.
Anna touches Peters' shoulder.
Anna: Come on, honey. Let's go.
Kyle is walking when Morgan walks up to him.
Morgan: Hey, asshole!
Kyle turns and is punched in the face by Morgan.
Morgan: She brought you in, all of you people and then you fucking murdered her?!
Before Morgan can punch Kyle again, Sarah steps in, backhands Morgan and throws her to the ground. Sarah then kicks Morgan in the stomach, flipping her on her back, before she steps on Morgan's chest.
Sarah: Touch him again and I'll fucking kill you! You hear me, little girl?!
Morgan: Go ahead, then! Do it! Or get Rachel to do it! Then who else after? My sister and nephew? Bryan? Connor?
Kyle steps in to diffuse the situation.
Kyle: Hey! Enough! Haven't enough people died tonight? Kale, Laura. We can't keep killing each other like this.
Sarah lets Morgan up.
Morgan: How the fuck are you saying that shit to me after what just happened?
Morgan then spits out blood.
Morgan: To hell with all of you.
Morgan walks back to Laura's body. Kayla approaches Savannah, who speaks in sign language.
Savannah: What happened?!
Kayla frowns, then speaks in sign language.
Kayla: Laura is dead.....Rachel shot her.
Savannah: (sign language) Are we going to have to leave?
Kayla: (sign language) I don't know, honey.....it's not looking good, though.
Savannah frowns, before Kayla hugs her. Rachel, understanding the conversation, frowns.
Present
Rachel looks down at her feet.
Kyle: Hey, what is it?
Rachel: Both of you have killed a lot of people.
Then, Rachel looks up at Kyle.
Rachel: Kyle....you killed Sarah's brother and his girlfriend before that, didn't you?
This makes Sarah and Kyle jump in shock, before asking in unison.
Kyle: What?
Sarah: What?
Rachel: You said Nora wasn't armed. She wasn't a threat. So, that would mean you murdered her, Kyle.
Kyle: I killed Nora, because I cared about her. I didn't want her to suffer.
Rachel: How? She'd be dead.
Kyle: She would've turned. I didn't want that for her. She deserved better.
Kyle turns his head away.
Sarah: As for my brother, he.....I loved him, but he was becoming dangerous to the group. Kyle did that to protect all of us.
Sarah looks down as Rachel thinks this over.
Rachel: I....I'm thankful for you guys.
Kyle and Sarah look over at Rachel.
Sarah: We're thankful for you, too.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door as Kyle shouts.
Kyle: It's open.
The door opens as Shawn, James, Caleb and Cassandra walk in.
Shawn: Morning...
Kyle sighs, before he stands up.
Kyle: Morning....
Kyle, Shawn, James, Sarah, Cassandra, Caleb and Rachel discuss the matter at hand.
James: I'm not going to lie to you, Kyle. Things are not looking so good. The people of Berrington; they're scared of us.
Shawn: They shouldn't be. You asked me...
Shawn turns to Rachel.
Shawn: I say you made the right call.
Cassandra: Shawn....
Caleb: Are you serious? This communities leader is dead.
Shawn: Yeah, but she had a gun to Sarah's head, not to mention, this bitch killed her fucking husband. Who knows who Laura was gonna kill next?
James: Or give up next? I'm not really worried about Laura....I'm more worried about what you said.
James turns to Kyle.
James: Kyle, did Laura really sell those two twins to some other assholes?
Kyle: That's what Kale told me before he died and she was going to do the same thing to our people if these assholes came back.
Cassandra: Well, we shouldn't worry about those raiders now. These people are angry at us....
Caleb: Yeah, who knows these people will do in mourning?
Suddenly, there's a knock on the door and Alicia walks in.
Alicia: Hey.
Alicia walks over to the group.
Alicia: Samantha said to come get you for the funeral.
Kyle: Really?
Shawn: They want us there after what happened?
Alicia: We used to have them more, then we stopped. It seems right, though.
Alicia turns to Rachel.
Alicia: Hey, I want to let you know; everyone may be upset with you, honey, but I think you were very brave last night.
Rachel: No, I'm not. I'm a murderer.
Alicia: Rachel, no you're not. Laura was the murderer. In the old world, if you were a murderer, you'd have to have a trial. They decided shit like that in a courtroom. That's how it was. They made rules on who was guilty and who was innocent.
Sarah: Well, if this place was anything like the old world, we'll have to make rules like that. We're not going to rely on people to make rules for us.
Alicia: Anyway, I think you're okay.... so does Zeke.
Rachel perks up at that.
Rachel: He does?
Alicia: Yeah.....just so you know; they buried them already. Samantha'll start soon. See you out there.
Alicia walks out of the house just as Rocky, Chris, Kayla, Savannah and Margaret walk down and join the others.
Chris: Morning, guys....
Margaret: What was Alicia doing here?
James: They're having a funeral.
Caleb: And we're invited.
Savannah: Oh....
An awkward silence takes place.
Rocky: Well, this'll be like standing in the middle of crowd with a huge boner.
The survivors look at Rocky with disgust.
Rocky: I'm just saying....
Kayla looks down and speaks to Savannah in sign language.
Kayla: Thank god you cannot hear half the shit that comes out of Rocky's mouth.
Savannah: (sign language) Swear!
James: Guys...this is going to be hard.
Kyle: Yeah.... Everyone is going to be upset at us. We need to show them that we care.
Chris: Do we care, though? I mean, Kale, I get....but as for Laura, fuck that bitch.
Caleb: I'm with Chris on this guys. This really isn't our place to attend a funeral for someone we kinda killed.
Cassandra: Guys, for now, let's just try to be respectful. Okay?
The survivors get up and head for the door, before heading outside. The survivors make it outside when Rachel walks over and stares at the pool of blood.
Rachel: Jesus....I didn't think that there was so much blood.
The survivors stare at it for a few seconds before Kyle turns to Sarah.
Kyle: Come on, sweetheart.
The survivors head over to the graveyard. The Berrington residents were there, gathered around Laura's and Kale's grave. Chloe placed flowers on Kale's grave while Samantha and Morgan gives a saddened look at their parents' grave, then all of them look to see the survivors standing there. Samantha holds Seth's hand.
Brigg: Oh, for fuck's sake....
Sylvester: Jesus Christ. They're here.
Anna: So what?
Brigg: Anna...
Zeke: She's just saying; they knew Kale, didn't they?
Chloe: Yeah, but Laura-
Samantha: Guys, please....for my sake, just drop it.
Peter sighs.
Anna: Peter, let it go, okay?
Peter: Shit...
Savannah tugs on Kayla's hand, before she looks down and Savannah speaks in sign language.
Savannah: Kayla?
Kayla speaks in sign language.
Kayla: Yeah, sweetie.
Savannah: (sign language) Why do people have funerals? I mean, I know we had one for Joseph, Marcus, Jenny, and Moses....but I don't get it.
Kayla looks down.
Kayla: (sign language) Well, to remember people we loved.
Savannah: (sign language) They really loved Laura, didn't they?
Kayla: (sign language) Yeah, they did.
Rachel sighs.
Rachel: I didn't mean to hurt them. I've felt like that before...with Abigail and Moses.
Cassandra: We've all felt hurt like that.
Chris: Still don't get what we're doing here.
Kayla: Chris...
Chris: What? I'm just saying. Why does this bitch get a fucking funeral?
Caleb: She was a goddamn monster.
Kyle: Laura did bad things, Chris, but she wasn't a monster.
After Anna reads the bible over Kale's grave, Samantha turns to Alicia.
Samantha: Alicia, you ready?
Alicia nods then walks up to Kale's grave and pulls out a drawing out of her pocket.
Alicia: Kale, you always loved the mountains, so, I drew this for you. Hope you like it.
Alicia lays the drawing on the grave, before she and Samantha share a small smile. Anna then goes over to Laura's grave.
Anna: Laura, she....
Anna starts to say, but stops as she struggles for words.
Anna: I'm sorry. No. Not for her.
Morgan: What?!
Samantha sighs.
Samantha: Honestly, I don't blame her. After what Mom did to Dad and the twins, I...
Morgan: Samantha! Are you shitting me?! It's Mom!
Bryan: You were always a bitch to your Dad, Samantha! Always mean to him.
Samantha looks around at everyone and shakes her head.
Samantha: The funeral's over. Everyone go home. If anyone wants to speak for my mom go ahead, but I won't.
Samantha looks down to Seth.
Samantha: Let's go home, Seth.
Samantha walks away.
Brigg: Cunt.
Anna: Uncle Brigg.
Brigg: Shut the fuck up, Anna.
Peter: Dude, don't.
Brigg: Seriously, Peter? Laura was our leader. She wasn't perfect, but she deserved better than to gunned down by that kid.
Brigg turns and points at Rachel.
Brigg: Rachel gunned Laura down like it was nothing. We all saw it and no one stopped her.
The survivors look amongst each other.
Sarah: You're right, Brigg.
Zeke: What?!
Sarah: I said Brigg is right. Laura didn't deserve what Rachel did to her.
Rachel: I know what I did. I'm sorry. I know I'm a murderer, but I'm going to atone to it.
Peter: Jesus Fucking Christ. I'm not listening to this.
Peter walks away and past the survivors.
Anna: Peter!
Rachel: What I did was wrong and we'll make it up to you, guys. I promise.
Zeke: You don't have to make up shit, Rachel!
Brie: Zeke!
Zeke: No, this is fucking bullshit! You guys are blaming them for Laura's bullshit.
Mikayla: Zeke!
Andrew: You fucking serious?!
Zeke: No, this is fucking bullshit! You guys are blaming them for Laura's bullshit.
Samantha: He's right.
The other Berrington residents look at Samantha in shock.
Chloe: Samantha?!
Morgan: You fucking serious?!
Samantha: Yes. My mother was a fucking murderer and a goddamn liar and maybe if we'd all asked more questions about what happened to Melanie and Colleen, none of this would've fucking happened!
Samantha shouts at the other Berrington residents.
Sylvester: They have a point.
Connor: Shut the hell up, Sylvester. This isn't Laura's fault!
Samantha: Then who's fucking fault was it?!
Cassandra: Samantha's right. You all share responsibility for what happened to Colleen and Melanie. And to Kale.
Morgan: And what about Laura? Who's responsible for that?
Rachel looks down.
Morgan: See what I mean? These people are dangerous and we can't trust any fucking one of them! Her and her boyfriend tried to kill me before this happened.
Rachel glares at Morgan.
Samantha: What are you saying?
Morgan: I'm saying they gotta fucking go. I say we have a meeting deciding if they stay or they leave.
The survivors give each other worried looks.
Chloe: That does seem fair.
Sylvester: Are you serious? It's fucking stupid.
Andrew: You're fucking stupid.
Shawn: What? This is so fucking stupid. All cause you all are ass hurt by your treacherous leader's death?! And cause we got caught up in her bullshit?!
James grits his teeth.
James: Goddamn it, Shawn. Maybe choose your words carefully.
Shawn: Fuck them. All cause they can't handle the truth.
Kayla: Wait, guys...
Kayla turns to the Berrington survivors.
Kayla: Please, don't do this. I know you're angry, butwe have wounded girl and a child and--
Brigg: You don't know shit. If you all did, you would've stopped Rachel.
Sylvester: Like you stopped Laura from killing Kale? Fucking hypocrite.
Connor: A vote's the only way to settle this, or we'll be arguing forever.
Zeke: This is so fucking stupid.
Samantha: Jesus Christ...I get we're all having a fucking meeting.
Samantha turns away from the others then turns to Anna.
Samantha: Peter needs to vote. Could you go get him, Anna? Try to talk to him.
Anna nods. Alicia nods.
Samantha: Could you go wait in the house? I'll come get you.
The survivors nod at them and turn around to head back. Rachel stops then turns to the others and pleads to them.
Rachel: If you could, just please...don't kick everyone out. Just me. Punish me.
The others Berrington survivors glare at Rachel as Sarah goes up to her and places her hand on her shoulder.
Sarah: Come on, sweetie. Let's go.
The girls turn, meet up with the others and head back to the house.
