In the infirmary, Dennis is checking on the dying Zeke. Morgan is present, before Dennis walks up to Morgan.
Morgan: Well?
Dennis: The bullet went severed and artery to his heart and the damage is irreversible.
Morgan's mouth drops.
Morgan: Is-is there anything more you can do?
Dennis frowns.
Dennis: I'm sorry. I've done all I could, but....the best thing to do is to make him comfortable.
Dennis touches Morgan's shoulder in a comforting matter, before walking away.
Dennis: I'll give you a minute....
Morgan walks up to Zeke, taking his hand.
Morgan: Hold on, Zeke....You're going to be okay.
Zeke: Hey.....it's going to be okay, Morgan.
Morgan: You're right...It will. You're gonna get through this and—
Zeke: No, Morgan. You know what I mean.....
Morgan: Goddammit.....these fucking people. Kyle and his people. They've done nothing, but bring chaos and death to Berrington.
Zeke: They saved us, Morgan.
Morgan: They didn't save anything. They've doomed us....all of us....We were all so much better without them. Look at what's happened....these people got Josh, my dad and my mom killed....and my sister's been captured....It'd be much better if they were all dead.....we need to do something, Zeke....we need to kill them....We need to kill them, Zeke...Do you hear me? Zeke?
Morgan perks up and realizes Zeke has passed away.
Morgan: Zeke? Zeke?
Morgan becomes tearful and cries over the loss of her boyfriend. Abigail enters the infirmary and Morgan looks up in anger. Meanwhile, Kyle, Shawn, James and Sarah are walking, before Abigail walks up to the group.
Kyle: What?
Abigail: Zeke's dead.
Shawn sighs.
Shawn: Fuck....
Kyle: Time to stop playing, then. Three of our people. This kid better fucking talk.
James: Kyle, hold up....This kid didn't kill Zeke.
Kyle: But his friends did....we're interrogating him. Like it or not, James.
Kyle, Shawn and Sarah walk away, before James raises his head, then stares at Abigail.
James: Fuck....
Hunter sits tied up to the chair, before Caleb sits in the front of him. Rachel leans to the wall.
Rachel: Seriously, Caleb. I can-
Caleb: No, I'm not leaving you alone with him.
Rachel: Why the fuck not?!
Caleb: Because you stopped Abigail from killing him?
Caleb turns to Rachel.
Caleb: Why is that?
Rachel sighs.
Rachel: I-
Abigail: Cause she knows him.
The two turn to see Abigail walk into the room.
Abigail: Don't you? The day we got barbwire and what took you so long is cause you were talking to him. I'm right, aren't you?
Abigail: He shot at us, Rachel....
Rachel: No, his raider friends shot at us.
Abigail: He's one of them.
Rachel: Abigail....come on...you've been in his position.
Abigail: Not like this.
Rachel sighs, before Caleb sighs and turns to Rachel.
Caleb: Two minutes.....that's all I'm giving you.
Caleb turns to Abigail, then nods, before the two walk out, leaving Rachel alone with Hunter. Rachel sits down in front of Hunter. Rachel then pulls out a candy bar and hands it to Hunter.
Rachel: Here....I thought you might be hungry.
Hunter sighs.
Hunter: Thank you. I'm...uh...kind of tied up at the moment, though.
Rachel breaks off a piece of chocolate and stuffs it in Hunter's mouth. Hunter moans.
Hunter: Haven't had chocolate in years. You people have food...real food.
Rachel: Why didn't you shoot?
Hunter looks up and then swallows his piece of chocolate
Rachel: You had your gun on me. You could've pulled the trigger. You didn't shoot. Why?
Hunter sighs.
Hunter: Because I just....I just couldn't do it. You're a good person.
Rachel smiles before Kyle, Shawn, James, Sarah, Abigail and Caleb walk in.
Kyle: Rachel. Get out. Abigail, you go with her.
Rachel: Kyle....
Sarah: Get out.
Abigail: Sarah....wait.
Sarah: Both of you.
Abigail sighs, then turns to Rachel.
Abigail: Come on, Rachel.
Rachel rolls her eyes and walks out of the room with Abigail, but then Abigail puts her finger to her lips, then points before she and Rachel stands right outside the closed door, listening in. Hunter looks up at the four adults, who glare at him.
Hunter: Please....please....I don't know anything.
Shawn: I....I....wait, where's Griffin? Damon? Did you guys kill them?
Hunter: I....I....wait, where's Griffin? Did you guys kill him?
Kyle: Hey!
Kyle slaps Hunter in the back of the head.
Kyle: That's not how this is gonna work! We ask the questions! You answer the fucking questions, boy! You got that?!
James: Kyle....
Kyle looks back at James.
James: We're beating kids tied behind their back now?
Kyle sighs, then James touches Kyle's shoulder, causing him to back away. James then looks down at Hunter.
James: How about you start with your name?
Hunter: Hunter....My name's Hunter.
Sarah: Alright, Hunter. Why do you do what you do? Why do you raid people like this?
Hunter is hesitant.
Kyle: Answer her!
Hunter sheds tears.
Hunter: They....we had to do this. It's what I was told. I was told to be apart of this so we can live.
Kyle: So if some motherfucker told you to run into the run, you're gonna run into the motherfucking wall, huh?
Caleb: You're saying you had to do this? You're saying you had to break into our home and kill three of our people? Take three of them?
Hunter: You wouldn't understand what it's like.
Sarah: Then make us understand what it's like.
Hunter: I...I don't....
Kyle: Alright, fuck this.
Kyle grabs Hunter by the throat and activates his Zeus Corps machete, sticking the blade into Hunter's face.
Kyle: You see this?!
James: Kyle, what are you doing?!
Kyle: This fucking thing has sub-zero, heat and electricity features.
Kyle activates the electricity feature on his machete.
Kyle: If I stick this in you and activate it, you'll fry like a goddamn steak on a grill. Now answer the questions! Where are our people?!
Rachel bursts into the room.
Rachel: Kyle!
Kyle: I told you to get the fuck out of here, Rachel!
Rachel: He told you he doesn't fucking know anything!
Kyle: Or better yet, the people here just lost three good people. One of them was a kid. They're ready to string you up and watch you hang. All I gotta do is drag your ass out of here and put you in the middle of a fucking courtyard. How many of you are there?!
Hunter: Fourteen. There were fourteen of us, okay?! I think....
Shawn: You think?!
Hunter: Yeah.
Kyle: How long have you been out there? Raiding?
Hunter: Years.....
Kyle: Does your camp have walls?
Hunter: Walls. Walls won't keep you safe. Places like this don't last. That's how it happens. Over and over. Places like this always fall. My dad told me how the world changed. How people like you tried to rebuild, but couldn't. You can never rebuild the old world. Just don't go looking for them....I don't know where they are.
Kyle glares at Hunter.
Kyle: Liar! Motherfucking liar!
Kyle throws Hunter to the ground and steps on his neck, chocking him.
Hunter: I'm not lying!
Kyle: You want to fucking die, boy?! Huh?! I'll fucking kill you!
Rachel: Kyle, stop it!
Kyle: Shut up!
Hunter: Please, don't kill me. Please. I don't want to die.
Kyle reconsiders, but then raises his machete.
Sarah: Kyle!
Before Kyle can react, James rushes in and grabs his arm, causing Kyle to elbow James in the nose.
Kyle: James, what the fuck?! Are you crazy?!
James spits out blood and tends to his bloody nose, before Shawn holds him back as James pushes him back.
James: Are you? This is wrong and you know it.
Kyle glares at James, before Hunter speaks.
Hunter: There's a boat! There's a boat docked a few miles north from here, okay? It's our base. There's a good chance your friends might be there. You got what you wanted.
Hunter cries.
Hunter: Please don't kill me, Kyle. Please.
Kyle looks around at Shawn, James, Sarah, Caleb, Abigail and Rachel, before releasing Hunter. Kyle then turns to Rachel.
Kyle: I told you to get out of here.
Kyle turns to Abigail.
Kyle: Both of you.
Rachel: He's just a kid like me, Kyle.
Kyle: He's a threat.
Rachel: I was too at one point.
Kyle sighs and shakes his head, before leaving. Shawn, James, Sarah and Caleb leave, before Rachel looks at Hunter. Rachel then turns before Hunter shouts out to him.
Hunter: Rachel.....thank you...for stopping him.
Rachel turns to Hunter.
Rachel: Don't mention it. I've been in that position before, too. I've been at the end of a gun held by him.
Abigail: Yeah....we both were enemies.
In her house, Alicia is sitting on the couch, cris-crossed just as Cassandra and Margaret knock on the door.
Alicia: It's open....
Cassandra and Margaret walk in and approach Alicia.
Margaret: Hey.....
Alicia: Hey...
Cassandra: Peter says you haven't came out in a while....Well, really....since they buried Brigg, Brie...and...
Alicia: Zeke now...Anna's right, you know? It is my fault he's dead. As soon as Wes mentioned something about my sister's, I just....I just thought that....he was telling the truth. That there was a chance I'd get to see my sisters again.
Margaret: Alicia....Cassandra and I....we've been in that position of....losing siblings.
Cassandra, thinking of Maya, looks down.
Margaret: I lost my brother a few months ago.
Cassandra: But, hey, men like Wes will say anything to get you to believe them. You're going to learn from this, Alicia. You're going to become a strong survivor.
Alicia: I don't know if I can. I've never killed before....none of us have. Is it easy?
Cassandra and Margaret share a look, then back at Alicia.
Margaret: No, it's not.
Cassandra and Margaret then walk out to the porch.
Margaret: She's pretty fucking shaken up.
Cassandra: Well, she got people killed.
Margaret turns to Cassandra.
Cassandra: Hey, I'm just stating the truth....if she wants to survive, if these people want to survive, they have to learn....
Later on, Kyle is getting ready for a scouting party just as Shawn and Sarah join him.
Shawn: What are you thinking?
Kyle: I'm thinking we take a small crew out to go check if that boat he mentioned is legit.
Shawn: And if it's not?
Kyle: Then I'll come back and slit his fucking throat.
Sarah: You really mean that? You gonna kill a kid, because he lied?
Kyle: Yes....
Sarah: Kyle, are we really those type of people now? Killing kids? I thought we were past that with Rachel, Moses and Abigail. Moses was a Ravager and Abigail was a Reaper.
Kyle: This is different, Sarah. Rachel was cargo. She didn't shoot at us. He did.
Sarah: Abigail arrived at our gates with the Reapers and Moses attacked you when he was with the Ravagers. This boy did not. Rachel told me he had a gun on her, but he didn't shoot. It's obvious he hates doing shit like this.
Kyle: Look, just meet me by the gate in a few, okay?
Kyle sighs, before leaving to the living room to find James on the couch, Chris, Caleb and Hunter, who is tied up, all playing video games.
Kyle: What the hell is going on? Why aren't you guys ready?
Chris: Kyle, what are we gonna do with the boy?
Kyle: Who fucking cares? Throw him in the fucking closet, pick him up later, leave him locked in here-I don't give a fuck.
Chris: Hey, Kyle....uh...Rocky and I were kind of hoping to rebuild the walls from all the damage.
Caleb: Yeah, and I gotta do some training with the Berrington civilians.
Kyle looks down.
Kyle: You just remembered now, huh?
Chris: I mean, it's a necessity. The raiders come back and those walls still look like that, we're fucked.
Kyle: You two want to stay here? Fine. Just make sure you're not fucking around.
Hunter turns to Kyle.
Hunter: Listen, Kyle. You don't have to do all this. I mean, you've made your point clear. I'm not going to run away.
Kyle: Do me a favor, kid. Shut your fucking mouth or I'll shut your fucking mouth for you, okay? And it's Mr. Desipich to you.
Chris: Kyle, come on, man.
Kyle: Why are you guys letting him play video games, anyway? He's tied up.
Caleb: He said he was bored, dude. He said he never played a video game, also.
Caleb and Chris laugh.
Kyle: You know what; I'll just take Shawn and Sarah with me. I'll grab Anna and John, too. I'm not letting this little motherfucker get in the way of shit.
James: Wait...what about me?
Kyle: No.
James: No, what?
Kyle: He's staying with you and Cassandra.
James: Wait, what?!
Kyle: Stop fucking questioning me, James.
James: Why the fuck am I watching him?!
Kyle: Cause I fucking said so.
James sits up, taking off his goggles.
James: Don't fuck with me, Kyle! I'm not fucking taking him to my house tied up like that!
Kyle: Well, then, cut him loose, dumb ass. You heard the boy.
Kyle turns to Hunter.
Kyle: You're not running away, are you, kid?
Hunter turns to Kyle.
Hunter: What? Oh, no.
Kyle turns back to James.
Kyle: There you go. You go home, you and Cassandra do a little babysitting.
James: Why am I on babysitting duty while you get to do all the good shit?
Kyle: Cause you're so insisting on his age. So there. Meanwhile, we'll scope out the raiders hideout.
Kyle taps James' shoulder.
Kyle: Make sure to change his diaper when he pisses himself.
Kyle leaves, before James sighs. Hunter looks back at James.
Hunter: So....you and Cassandra, huh?
At the raiders hideout, Melanie is on guard smoking just as she spots Samantha, Sylvester and Chloe tied up and escorted by Georgette.
Georgette: Move!
Melanie's eyes widen as she tosses the cigarette and rushes over to the group.
Melanie: Hey, guys!
Sylvester: Melanie!
Chloe: Holy shit! You are still alive!
Samantha's eyes widen.
Melanie: Hey, Samantha....
Samantha: Hi....
Georgette: Melanie, they're being taken to the brig. Wes's orders.
Melanie: Just...just give me a minute....okay?
Melanie looks at Samantha.
Melanie: How? How have you been?
Samantha: Well, my parents are gone. My husband....still have my sister and my son.
Melanie: I heard about your parents and Josh....I'm sorry....how's Seth?
Samantha: He's getting big...And there's a new guy in charge. A guy who I thought was my friend until he let me get caught.....
Samantha shakes her head.
Samantha: I never should've trusted him. At least, you and your sister are here now.
Melanie: Well, I am....but....Colleen, she....
Samantha is saddened.
Samantha: I'm so sorry.
Melanie: Look, I know things are bad, but maybe we can catch up sometime.
Samantha smiles.
Georgette: Time's up, Melanie.
Melanie sighs.
Melanie: Okay....
Melanie moves to the side as Samantha, Sylvester and Chloe are forced to walk. Melanie then shouts at Georgette.
Melanie: Hey, Georgette. I'm going to go chop some wood.
Georgette: Okay. Here.
Georgette throws her walkie talkie at Melanie.
Georgette: Stay in radio contact.
Melanie: Got it...
