In Berrington, Shawn and John walk through the neighborhood's street.
John: So, how long y'all been out there?
Shawn: Most of the time. We were on a train for almost a year until Peter found us. He brought us in.
John: You folks got a lot of people with you.
Shawn: Yeah....we're all like family.
John: Especially James, right? I heard he's your brother.
Shawn: Yeah. He's my blood brother. Cassandra's his wife, my sister-in-law.
John: I see....so you were a Zeus Corps Soldier?
Shawn: Yeah....served for some time along with Kyle, who's been my best friend since we were kids. He and I are like brothers. Anyway, we both turned against Kronos, took em down. Survived. Built this group together in some way.
John nods.
John: So....that kid, Rachel, she's the one who....you know....
John mimics a gun and then "pow!".
Shawn: Yeah.
John: She ever kill anyone before Laura?
Shawn sighs.
Shawn: Only when she's had to. Same as us.
John turns to notice Andrew and Mikayla walking towards the gate with their backpacks.
John: What the hell?
Shawn: What?
Shawn and John walk to Andrew and Mikayla.
John: Hey...
Andrew turns to John, rolls his eyes then turns to Connor and Bryan.
Andrew: Connor. Bryan. Open the gate.
John: The hell are you doing?
Mikayla: We're leaving.
John: Y'all going on a run?
Mikayla: No.
Andrew: We're leaving Berrington.
John: What? Why?
Andrew: Because....you and Samantha are trusting people like....
Andrew's eyes dart towards Shawn.
Andrew: Him with our safety.
Shawn: You got a fucking problem with me, boy?
Andrew: You're a killer. All your people are fucking killers.
Shawn: You do realize the assholes coming for you are worse than us. If you go out there, you don't know what you'll encounter, besides those raiders....there's all sort of infected out there....beyond Laura's perfect fucking walls!
Mikayla: And we're supposed to just fucking trust you all after Rachel killed Laura?
Shawn sighs.
Andrew: We'll take our chances out there than in here.
Shawn seethes at Andrew and Mikayla, before Kyle walks up to the confrontation.
Kyle: Let them go, Shawn. If they wanna leave, let them leave.
Kyle turns to Andrew and Mikayla.
Kyle: You both go out there; you're both not coming back.
Kyle turns to Connor and Bryan.
Kyle: Open the gate, guys.
Connor and Bryan open the gate, before Andrew and Mikayla hesitate for a minute, but then leave Berrington. Shawn turns to Kyle.
Shawn: Why'd you do that?
Kyle: They die out there. That's on them....and they'll slow us down.
In the woods, in the greenhouse, Rachel, Abigail, Zeke and Morgan are collecting barbwire and a few items to make a bomb. Abigail turns her head to Cassandra, looking back at Morgan with a glare.
Abigail: She got Moses killed...almost got Rachel killed.
Cassandra: She did...
Abigail: Samantha should exile her. I don't care if she's her sister...someone like that. Do we really need these people?
Cassandra: We don't....they need us....
Abigail: We should just let them die...or let them be taken.....Part of me should just lead her into the woods...slit her throat....say she was killed by infected...it's just that easy.
Cassandra notices Abigail's glare, immediately recognizing it.
Cassandra: I know that look...that's the look you give about killing someone that's wronged you...I know cause I've given you that look. The day you and I met on the day my sister died. I thought you were an enemy. I wanted to kill you for what Lynn did to my sister.....I wanted Sarah to kill you.....but then you saved me and now you're one of the most important people in the world to me. We can make this better....but hey, honestly...you lead her into the woods and don't come back with her...I won't say shit.
Abigail gives a look of confliction.
Abigail: Um.....I'm gonna follow your lead, then.
Abigail nods, then her, Cassandra, Rachel, Morgan and Zeke grab the barbwire and leave the green house. The group then walk through the woods. As they walk, the three hear a noise of infected.
Rachel: What is that? You hear that?
Zeke: Hear what?
Rachel walks in the direction of the noise and the three teens discovers a granite quarry consisting with thousands infected, barricaded by two Zeus Corps trucks.
Zeke: Holy shit....
Morgan: My god....
Rachel: There must be thousands of them....this is it. This is how.
Morgan: How what?
Rachel: How you people are all still here. I know you've all had infected at your walls, but a lot of or most of them end up here. If one of those trucks gives.....
Zeke: It's all over. They're all coming here.
Morgan: We have to tell the others....
Abigail: This isn't the threat right now. The raiders are.....
Morgan: Yeah, but what about after or if we've dealt with the raiders?
Cassandra: Hey, we will.....
Zeke: Listen to them, Morgan. We're gonna win.
Morgan shakes her head, before walking off.
Morgan: Let's just get back.
Zeke sighs, before shooting Rachel an apologetic look and walking off. The five then walk, before Rachel hears a noise and then sees movement. Zeke turns to Rachel.
Rachel: Nothing. I thought I saw—
Suddenly, the hill becomes unstable and Rachel falls down to the ground below.
Cassandra: Rachel! Rachel!
Abigail: Rachel, you okay?!
Rachel stands up and dusts herself off.
Rachel: Yeah, I'm fine.
Abigail: You see a way back up?
Rachel looks at the hill, not seeing a way to climb back up.
Rachel: Uh...fuck....no. Just take the barbwire and other shit back to Berrington.....I'll be fine.
Abigail: You sure?
Rachel: I can take care of myself....
Abigail: You're not back in two hours. I'll come for you.
Rachel nods, before Cassandra, Abigail, Morgan and Zeke walk back to Berrington, before Rachel makes her way through the forest.
Morgan: With any luck, she'll stay gone.
Zeke: Really?
Hearing that comment, Abigail pulls out her pistol and aims it at Morgan.
Abigail: You want to say that shit again?
Zeke: Whoa! Hey, Abigail!
Cassandra: Abigail.....
After some tension, Abigail lowers the pistol, before Morgan walks past her. Zeke looks at Abigail for a moment, before following Morgan. Cassandra and Abigail walk together, before Abigail speaks.
Cassandra: When I said your name like that, I was wondering what you wanted to do.
Abigail: You were going to let me shoot her?
Cassandra: More or less.
Abigail shakes her head then laughs. She then turns her head, frowning.
Cassandra: She's gonna be okay, Abigail.
In Berrington, the Berrington residents and the survivors are working on making Berrington safe. John sweats, before Caleb walks over to hand him a cup of water.
Caleb: Here you go.
John: Thanks, man.
Caleb then turns, before John speaks again.
John: It's Caleb, right?
Caleb turns.
Caleb: Yeah.
John: You been with Kyle long?
Caleb: Since Midtown Manhattan.
John: You were a Zeus Corps Soldier, too?
Caleb: No. What makes you say that?
John: It's just you always seem prepared. Ready.
Caleb: Have to be in this world.
Samantha stands with her arms crossed, before Sarah walks up to her.
Sarah: I didn't get a chance to say yet, despite what happened.....I'm sorry about your mom and dad. Your husband. Laura did bad things, but she was still a good person and Kale, he was kind and smart. They were all good people. You made the right call trusting us.
Samantha: We need this. What else do we need?
Sarah: I know your mom was against it, but people needed to be armed inside the walls. They need to be trained. Everyone.....even the teenagers.
Outside the Berrington walls, some of the survivors and Berrington civilians are working on the walls when Samantha attempts to walk, but Sarah stops her.
Sarah: Don't. They need to do this.
Sarah turns to Kyle.
Sarah: Kyle...
Kyle turns to Sarah, then back at Brigg.
Kyle: Brigg, heads up.
Brigg and a few other Berrington civilians turn to see the infected walking towards and immediately begin to panic.
Brigg: Shit...
Chris, Kayla, James, Margaret, Rocky, Cassandra, Caleb and Shawn attempt to join in, but Kyle stops them.
Kyle: No. No. They have to do this.
Kyle speaks to the Berrington residents.
Kyle: Use your knives and shovels.
Brigg: Help us, man....
Kyle: You can do this. You need to. All of you.
Brigg and the Berrington residents struggle to take out the infected.
James: Shit...
James runs in.
Kyle: James, don't!
Kyle, Shawn, James, Sarah, Cassandra, Caleb, Kayla, Rocky and Margaret run and take out the infected. After this, Kyle glares at James.
James: Dude....what the fuck, man?
Kyle folds his lips, before he catches Brigg's glare. In the woods, Hunter is looking around in the woods, while listening to his music on his walkman. Suddenly, an infected attacks him, before he falls. Hunter attempts to grab his knife, but suddenly, the infected is shot in the head. Hunter pushes the infected off of him and looks around, but then realizes his walkman has broken.
Hunter: Ah, man....Come on, dude....how can this get any worse?
Suddenly, a gun is pressed to the back of Hunter's head, prompting Hunter to reach for his gun.
Rachel: Easy....don't move. Don't scream.
Hunter sighs.
Rachel: Stand up.
Hunter stands up, with his hands raised.
Rachel: Turn around.
Hunter: Look, just don't shoot me, okay?
Rachel: Do as I say and I won't have to.
Hunter turns around and is shocked to see Rachel.
Hunter: You're-you're a kid just like me.
Rachel: Yeah....I'm also a kid with a gun. You're not one of Berrington's people, are you?
Hunter: No, I'm not.
Rachel: You're one of them, aren't you? One of the raiders.
Hunter: Shit....you're that girl that Wes, Tobin and Griffin attacked, aren't you?
Rachel: What are you doing out here? Spying on us?
Hunter: No, no...I....I just want to get away and clear my head. Get some space.....
Rachel tilts her head, noticing the broken walkman on the ground. Rachel then lowers her gun.
Rachel: Get your shit...and get out of here. Don't come back.
Hunter then picks up the walkman, before Rachel turns and begins walking.
Hunter: I'm Hunter, by the way.
Rachel stops and turns to Hunter.
Rachel: I'm Rachel.
Hunter: Thanks, Rachel. For saving me....
Rachel nods, before walking, but then Hunter calls out again.
Hunter: Hey....I was just about to have some lunch. I don't ever really get company to eat lunch with. Everyone in my group is always so busy.....plus I'm the only teen in the group.
Rachel turns to Hunter.
Hunter: Care to join me? I make really good steak sandwiches.
In Berrington, in the pantry, Kayla is getting food from the pantry, when she suddenly hears voices.
Brigg: Time is running out for us. He's talking about fucking fighting back putting everyone in jeopardy.
Chloe: Rachel stopped Laura. She stopped her.
Brigg: Stopped her? She surrendered and then Rachel shot her dead.
Bryan: Laura killed Kale, Brigg.
Connor: Not to mention she gave Melanie and Colleen to those assholes and she said she would've done the same to not just Kyle and his people, but us. She didn't give a shit about any of us.
Brigg: What Kyle wants to do is fucking suicide and Samantha is asleep at the wheel. Andrew and Mikayla left because he's going to turn our home into fucking warzone. So it's on us. We have got to put an end to him. Stop him.
Anna: How do we do that, Uncle Brigg? Hmm?
Kayla catches on then leans into the conversation, spotting Brigg, Peter, Anna, John, Chloe, Connor and Bryan having a secret meeting.
Brigg: Peter. Work with me here. You were shot because of these guys. You think they would've shed a goddamn tear for you?
Peter: Yeah, I did, but I didn't die. Look, despite how I felt, Kyle is the right one in this situation.
Brigg: He's right. He knows one of those assholes. Someone else he pissed off in the past. All of these people are dangerous. Every single of them.
Anna: Even Savannah? A six-year-old girl, who's deaf.
Brigg: What's to stop her from killing? From becoming Rachel? How many more of us have to be killed before we do something? Cause pretty fucking soon, it's gonna be too late.
Anna: Uncle Brigg, you need to be really careful here. You're talking about us going to Samantha and telling her-
Brigg: No, fuck that. I'm not talking about talking some more. No more words. I'm talking about doing.
Chloe: What are you saying?
Brigg: We kill him before he or his people kill anymore of us.
Kayla's mouth drops before a can of food drops to the floor, causing the others to turn. Kayla then backs up and falls to the floor. Brigg steps out with a gun in his hand, looking down at Kayla.
Kayla: Uh....hi.
Brigg glares at Kayla.
Brigg: Were you ease dropping?
Bryan: Brigg...don't.
Anna: Uncle Brigg.
Brigg: She heard.
Kayla: I didn't.
Brigg: Bullshit, you little bitch. You heard.
Kayla: I didn't. I mean, I didn't-
John: Brigg, don't.
Brigg: Yeah...she heard.
Brigg cocks his pistol and aims it at Kayla.
John: Brigg, put the fucking gun down!
Connor: Are you crazy?!
Chloe: You can't! She has a sister!
Kayla: Please. Please.
Before Brigg can do anything, the door opens and Kyle, Shawn and James walk in.
Shawn: Kayla!
Kyle: Shawn....
Kyle raise his hand to Shawn, calming him down.
Kyle: What the fuck is this? What are you doing?
Brigg turns back and forth between Kyle and Kayla.
Brigg: I'm taking this place back from you. You're a killer. You're all killers.
Kyle turns to John, Bryan, Connor, Anna, Peter and Chloe.
Kyle: That's what this conversation was about?
Peter: Kyle....
John: No, that's what he was talking about, man.
Kyle folds his lips, before he laughs.
Brigg: What's so funny?
Kyle: Shit, man. It's just...See, I would've-I would've at least set up a guard at the door. You know, have Bryan or Connor on lookout. That would've been the smart thing...you know, just in case...but I'm sure you and I have a nice calm conversation and find a reasonable--
Kyle then grabs Brigg's hand, disarms him, backhands him with the pistol then drops him on his knees. Kyle then aims the pistol at the back of Brigg's head.
Anna: Kyle....
Brigg gives a worried look and raises his hands up.
Brigg: Please. Just please.
Kyle: Shut the fuck up and listen to me. You really think you have a chance against these raiders without us? You really think you're going to take this community from us? People like Shawn? People like James? People like Sarah? People like me? You have no idea who you are fucking with, do you?
Brigg: Please, it was just me.
Kyle: Excuse me?
Brigg: It was-it was just me. Just-just kill me and get it over with.
Anna: Kyle...Kyle, please...
A brief moment, before Shawn finally speaks.
Shawn: Kyle.
Kyle looks up at Shawn, before he laughs again.
Kyle: Relax. I'm not gonna kill him.
Kyle lowers his pistol and puts it in his holster, before he looks down at Brigg.
Kyle: I'm not going to kill you, Brigg. You can try to work with us. Survive.
Kyle walks in front of Brigg, offering his hand.
Kyle: Can you do that?
Brigg takes Kyle's hand, who helps him up.
Brigg: Yes....
Kyle pats Brigg's shoulder.
Kyle: Good. Now, if you want, I hear you're a man who's good with bombs.
Brigg: I am.
Kyle turns to James, who nods.
James: I'll work with him.
Kyle: Good. Get Chris to work with him, too.
