Outside of the hydro-electrical plant, Lynn and Colm are having a conversation.
Colm: You kidnapped two of them?!
Lynn: Shawn Burton and his friend.
Colm: Are you fucking stupid?! They're gonna be out looking in numbers now!
Lynn: I have a plan. With them, we'll be able to draw Kyle and Sarah out....without anyone getting hurt.
Colm: People are going to get hurt. Innocent.
Lynn: These people are not innocent, Dad. They're the key...to what we want. They're going to help us take who we want without firing a single shot.
Colm: How can you be so sure?
Lynn: Cause they got family in there, and they won't dare fire on us with their family hostage.....
Colm: And if they do....
Lynn: Then we fire back.
Afterwards, Colm and Lynn address the matter to the rest of the Reapers.
Abigail: Wait? So you kidnapped two of them? Shawn and another woman in order to draw Kyle out?
Colm: He'll surrender...easily....These people...they're friends of the hostages and of Kyle. They're not all bad, but if they're like Desipich and his wife....then they're thieves...murderers...These people they...they killed my son. I wanted to let that go, but I can't....I don't want to die...I don't want my daughter to die...
Colm points to the Reapers.
Colm: I don't want you to die. You can't live in this world without getting blood on your hands. We need to make our move against these people....cause soon, Shawn Burton's brother is gonna realize they're missing and come looking for them.
Lynn: We need to take these people by surprise. They have no idea we're coming so we have the advantage.
Abigail sighs.
Selene: I'm in. These motherfuckers killed my best friend. If they side with Desipich, then they die.
Carter: Me too.
The Reapers speak and nod in agreement.
Colm: Pack up and get ready. We'll go over the plan in half an hour.
The Reapers disperse while Abigail crosses her arms and stays behind.
Colm: What?
Abigail: We're really going to kill all these people if Kyle doesn't surrender?
Colm: No...
Lynn: Just Desipich.
Abigail: And what about his wife? You want her too, right? So you can kill her in front of him?
Lynn approaches Abigail.
Lynn: Abigail....Desipich killed my brother. Your boyfriend. Don't you get that? I know we haven't seen eye to eye....but you're family.
Lynn walks off as does Colm, before Abigail gives a contemplated look. In the trailer, Colm bandages Shawn's head wound.
Shawn: Get the fuck off me, man!
Colm: Hold still, son....There.
Shawn: Fucking prick.
Colm stands up back up before turning his head to Maya then Shawn. Both tied up.
Colm: You know who I am, boy?
Shawn: Yeah....
Colm walks over and brings Maya next to Shawn. He then pulls out a candy bar and places it on their lap.
Colm: You two should eat. It's going to be a long day. No one's going to hurt you.
Maya: I don't believe that.
Colm: I don't give a shit.
Colm turns and sits, placing everything back in the first aid kit.
Maya: You want to tell us what this is about?
Colm: Did your friend not tell you?
Maya turns to Shawn.
Maya: Shawn?
Shawn: Kyle and I are on the run....from this asshole, his daughter and his gang of biker fucks.....because we killed his son.
Colm: Correction; Kyle killed my son. Shot him in the head and I didn't get to say goodbye. Shawn, I want you to know. I don't a problem with you because you weren't the one that pulled the trigger. I want Desipich and that's it. You two are gonna help me get him. No one needs to die.
Shawn seethes at Colm for a moment.
Shawn: You're your daughter's bitch now. She's playing you. You're not in control of this group anymore....You're gonna die. All of you. You're gonna die just as your son-
Maya turns to Shawn.
Maya: Shut up. You're not making it better.
Maya sits up.
Maya: You want Kyle?
Colm: Yes.....and I won't kill him on the spot. I'll take him back with me to face a punishment for killing my son.
Maya: Look, I'm sorry about your son...and I'm sorry that it was my friend who killed your son....but we have people in that hydro-electrical plant. Families. Children. We can find another way to make it right. Work together. These people; do you love them?
Colm turns to Maya.
Colm: You've got a good heart, Maya. A better heart than Kyle.
Maya: It's just....you're a parent. I can see that. Kyle was once, too. Everything you've said....you don't want to go through with it. Your daughter does.
Colm: Kyle and I will never be able to work together. Shawn and I, we'll never be able to work together. There's too much bad blood.
Maya: We can find another way.
Colm: This is the way!
Colm turns to Maya and Shawn.
Colm: I'm sorry you two are caught up in this...but I'm trying. I could've just marched in guns blazing and killed every single one of you....but I didn't....I'm trying....this way, both of you survive and I can...get closure.
Colm stands up and heads to the trailer door, before Maya speaks again.
Maya: You say you want Kyle to surrender as peaceful as possible. That means you'll be willing to hurt or kill people to get him. My sister, Cassandra, she's in there. Her boyfriend. Kyle's wife. A fourteen year old kid.
Maya gestures to Shawn.
Maya: His brother. Families. Good people. That's who you'd be killing. If you know what it's like to have a family, how could you be willing to kill someone else's family?
Colm glares at Maya.
Colm: Cause it's not my family.
At the hydro-electrical plant, Marcus is lying in bed with Vivian by his side.
Marcus: Christ...I need a fucking vacation.
Vivian: Oh, really? Where?
Marcus: The mountains....the Bahamas....the beach.
Marcus sighs.
Marcus: You know; I think it's our one year.
Vivian: Really?
Marcus: Well, shit....soon to be coming up.
Vivian laughs, before resting in Marcus's arms. Vivian sits back up.
Vivian: I'd say Niagara Falls. You ever been there?
Marcus: Mm-mmm.
Vivian: My mom took me there once when I was little. When we were up there, all the way at the top of the falls, you could just feel free.
Marcus: Well, shit, looks like we got a set vacation.
Vivian lets her head down and kisses Marcus. In the guest home, Sarah turns her head, before turning back to Kyle. Her expression angry.
Sarah: You cannot seriously fucking consider still going through with this?! After seeing her scars?
Kyle: And what are we gonna tell Dodge? That we figured out he's a piece of shit father so we're keeping her and raising her as our own?
Sarah: Fuck Dodge. I'd put a bullet in his head given the chance.
Kyle: Hey. Hey.....she's not our daughter. Not our blood. Plus, you saw what happened with Charlie and Elijah....you want into another situation like that? You want another situation where we have to-
Sarah: What? Bury another little girl? I've done that twice in my life....We take that girl back to him and we're not better than Dodge. We'd might as well just kill her ourselves.
Kyle: She's going to be okay. She's smart. She knows how to survive. Plus, she's good with a gun. She's a survivor.
Sarah points a finger at Kyle.
Sarah: Will you stop saying that shit like you don't fucking believe it, Kyle?! Jesus Christ!
Kyle looks down at the ground.
Kyle: Sarah....I don't want to go through another Rose....not again. Do you?
Sarah: What the hell are we gonna tell Shawn when he gets back?
Kyle sighs.
Kyle: I don't know...but this isn't our curse. If we took her, we'd be taking a girl from her father.
Sarah: Well, maybe that's best for her....Kyle, we can't take her back to her father. We just can't. She's just a kid. This girl looks up to us....up to you, especially. I know you. Despite not being with you anymore, I know you're still a good person. Please. Please don't send her back to that life.
Sarah puts her down to her fists. Kyle looks down, before raising his head.
Kyle: We can't keep her with us.
Sarah stands up.
Sarah: Yeah...guess we can't. Better go say our goodbyes, then.
Disappointed, Sarah walks past Kyle, who sucks his teeth, before he follows her. The two then run into Rachel, briefly. She stares at the two, before Kyle walks off. Sarah smiles at Rachel.
Sarah: Hey.
Rachel: Hey.
Kyle, Sarah, and Rachel approach James, who has his backpack and weapon ready while Jenny is petting her horse. Cassandra by his side, prepping him.
James: Hey...just getting myself ready for the trip.
James turns his head to Rachel.
James: Don't worry, kid. You'll like riding with me.
Rachel: Yeah.....
Rachel turns to Jenny.
Rachel: Sorry about stealing your horse.
Jenny: It's okay, kid. Pretty bad-ass of you.
Kyle turns his head to Sarah, before turning to James and speaking.
Kyle: Actually, James.....I think it's best if Rachel comes with us....plus, I don't think we can take her to Taker city after what we just learned....
Rachel lifts her head in what seems like cautious excitement, and Sarah gives her former husband an approved smile, but a small smile creeps up on her lips.
James: What?
Kyle: We'll just take two horses for the trip. One for me and Sarah. One for your brother and Rachel. We're gonna find a new home out here.
Rachel's smile grows bigger. James looks at Cassandra, before turning back to Kyle.
James: Look, we could discuss this at least. I mean, you said yourself, the Reapers are after you.
Kyle: Yeah, well....you know me. My mind's all made up. You two have something great going here and I don't wanna ruin that. You've earned a life.
Kyle turns to Cassandra.
Kyle: Both of you.
James: There's a place for both of you here, you know. You're family, and you're always welcome.
Rachel: You really mean it? You're not taking me back?
Sarah: No, honey. We're not.
Through happy tears, Rachel beams and hugs Sarah.
Rachel: Thank you! Thank you so much!
Sarah laughs, before Kyle sighs. Sarah clears her throat, before Kyle turns his head and she starts gesturing to Rachel.
Kyle: Dammit....
Kyle turns to Rachel.
Kyle: Look, Rachel....I--
Rachel cuts Kyle off and gives him a big hug, shocking him.
Rachel: Thank you, Kyle.
Kyle lets out a laugh, before returning the hug. The two then break the hug.
Rachel: So, now what? What do we do, cause my Dad won't take this news well.....
Kyle turns to Sarah and James, before turning back to Rachel.
Kyle: Look, Rachel, we'll--
Before Kyle can finish, an explosion is heard.
Jenny: Jesus!
James: What the fuck?!
Cassandra: What the hell was that?!
Sarah: Come on!
In the outside perimeter of the hydro-electrical plant, Kyle, James, Sarah, Rachel, Jenny and Cassandra run out of the guest house and meet up with Marcus, Margaret, Joseph and another survivor, a Korean-American man named, Jayden.
Kyle: Keep back!
The group reaches the fence to see one of the guard towers has been destroyed. Outside the perimeter fence, Colm, Lynn and the Reapers are at the gates.
Colm: Kyle Desipich! Get your ass down here! We need to talk.
Kyle looks around at the others, before looking back at the Reapers.
Kyle: Why? Why should I talk to you? You talk to me. You talk to my people.
Colm: Is Maya one of your people?
Carter brings out a tied-up Maya out of one of the cars. Cassandra puts her hand to her mouth.
Cassandra: No....
James: Shit...
Colm: What about Shawn?
Another Reaper brings out Shawn, who is tied up and brought next to Maya. Both Shawn and Maya are set on their knees.
Kyle: This isn't my place! This isn't my choice.
Colm: This is your choice today, son. Come down here. Let's talk. We got a lot to talk about.
Kyle swallows hard, before turning back to Sarah.
Sarah: I don't like this.
Kyle: Neither do I...but I don't really have a choice.
Kyle turns to Rachel and touches the back of her neck.
Kyle: It's gonna be okay, kid. You hear me?
Rachel nods, before Kyle opens the fence gates and heads down to the gate. Meanwhile, Sarah approaches Margaret.
Sarah: Please tell me there's another way out. Cause we can't win this fight. Not upfront like this. We don't have the numbers for this.
Marcus turns to Sarah.
Sarah: You did train everyone to fight, I assume?
Margaret: Yeah...thing is, we're good on weapons, but....we're low on food....we don't have that much.
Sarah: We'll be okay. Shit hits the fan, start exiting through the back.
Marcus: What if everyone can't make it to the back? How long do we wait?
Sarah: As long as we can.
Kyle finally approaches the main gate with the Reapers, Shawn and Maya outside. Kyle speaks to Colm and Lynn directly.
Kyle: Colm, you listen to me. You let them go right now. They have nothing to do with what happened, alright? I'm the one you want. Me. You punish me. I'll stay down here. Talk as long as you want, but you let them go. You got a whole army of Bikers. You don't need goddamned hostages.
Colm: I'm afraid I do. These two are just to prove that I'm serious....
Colm folds his lips.
Colm: You killed my son....shot my boy right in the head. I didn't get see his face...I didn't even get to bury him....
Kyle: I'm sorry, but your son was killed in a fight that he started.
Lynn: Bullshit! It was Dodge that fucked up the job. You should've killed him! You should've just let my brother shoot him!
Colm turns to Lynn.
Colm: Lynn....
Colm turns back to Kyle.
Colm: I'll make this simple, Kyle. These two; for you.
Lynn spots Sarah and then smiles.
Lynn: Actually, let's sweeten the deal a little bit. You...and Sarah.
Kyle folds his lips.
Kyle: Why? Why her, too?
Lynn: So, I can make us even. So, you can know what it's like to watch someone you love die in front of you.
Lynn turns to Colm.
Lynn: Right, Dad?
Colm rubs his eyes, before turning back to Kyle.
Colm: That's...that's right. Both you and Sarah have to surrender to the Reapers....or we kill these two. Then we kill you. Then everyone in that plant.
Kyle: Doesn't have to go down this way, Colm.
Colm: I got more people, more guns. This has to happen, Kyle. There it is. It's that black and white. I promise, it'll be a humane death for both of you.
Kyle: There are families in this plant. Good, honest people. Reconsider this.
Colm turns his head, before turning back to Kyle.
Colm: I have a goddamned turret with a grenade launcher....and what else is there to discuss?
Back at the hydro-electrical plant perimeter, Sarah starts handing out assault rifles; the first to Joseph, who is holding his cross pedant.
Sarah: You know how to use one of these?
Joseph: Yeah....I've had some training besides medical.
Sarah then hands assault rifles to Cassandra, James, Jenny, and Marcus. Sarah hands an assault rifle to Rachel.
Sarah: You ready for this?
Rachel: Yes.
Sarah: Hey....just like New Chicago. You make...
Rachel: Every shot count.
Sarah nods. Rachel takes the assault rifle and cocks it while Kyle continues talking with Colm.
Colm: I could kill you all. You'd all shoot back. I'm aware of that...but we'll win. You'll all be dead. I don't want that. Like I said; it's up to you.
Infected start to draw in, before Lynn pulls out her pistol and shoots the infected down. Lynn then turns back to Kyle.
Lynn: Now I was never good at math, but if I recall a gunshot will draw more and more of the infected and if that happens, it'll be harder to keep this place afloat. Now, won't it?
In the hydro-electrical plant, Margaret and Jayden climb to the other tower and aim their sniper rifles at the Reapers. Sarah and Rachel aim their assault rifles at the Reapers.
Rachel: We gotta do something.
Sarah: Kyle's got this.
Rachel: They're talking. We could kill that prick right now.
Sarah: From 50 yards?
Rachel: I'm a good fucking shot. You've seen me shoot. I could end this right now.
Shawn: Yeah, or you could start something right now. You gotta trust Kyle, okay?
Outside of the hydro-electrical plant, Colm looks out into the sky.
Colm: You got an hour of sunlight left. I suggest you make your choice....cause the longer you wait to decide, the harder this place becomes to live in. You surrender; we'll take out the infected that show up quietly for you. You have my word.
Kyle looks around, unsure of what to do.
Kyle: We could-
Maya looks up.
Kyle: We could come to a better understanding. A truce. This journey that I'm on...that your daughter...and son signed for...
Lynn: You mean that little brat that's the cause of all this? Why she's so important?
Kyle sighs.
Kyle: The girl is Dodge's daughter.
Colm, Lynn and the Reapers look amongst each other.
Kyle: I've decided I'm not gonna do it from what I just learned, but....if y'all were to go to Dodge and tell him that his daughter died out in the wasteland, then he'll pay you for your troubles and Dodge is a fair man.
Lynn laughs.
Colm: A valiant offer....but I don't think my daughter or my son's friends would be too keen on taking a buy off from the man who killed him.
Kyle: Dodge pays well.....he may be a prick, but he's fair. Once you get your payment of weapons, food, you go back to your city and after today, we'll go our separate ways. Never have to see each other again.
Maya turns her head to Colm.
Maya: He's right. It can work.
Lynn: It could've, but it can't. Not after all the bullshit. Not after Roscoe. Not after Caleb.
Kyle: Look, I'm not saying it's gonna be easy, but it's gonna be helluva lot harder than trying to kill each other...but I don't think we have a choice.
Colm: We don't, son. You do.
Kyle: I'm not surrendering.
Lynn folds her lips and glares at Kyle. Colm sighs.
Kyle: You try to force me and Sarah and my people will put up a fight. We won't win, but we will take some of you or most of you out. You won't have shit. We won't have shit. Like you said; gunfire will bring out the infected. They'll overrun the place and this plant won't mean shit. Now, we can put our differences and come to some sort of agreement.
Losing her patience, Lynn sighs before she steps down. Colm turns to her.
Colm: What are you doing?
Lynn: I think these people...
Lynn grabs a machete from a nearby Reaper.
Lynn:.....need a little incitement.
Lynn goes over to Maya and raises the machete blade to her throat.
Colm: Lynn! Goddammit! No! Lynn! Lynn! Don't.....
James and Cassandra rush to the gate. Cassandra sobs at this sight.
James: No--!
Cassandra: Maya!
Jenny: Oh, god!
Sarah: Shit...
Colm: Lynn...don't!
Maya looks down at the grass as Kyle glares at Lynn, before he looks around at the other Reapers, making eye contact with Abigail, who gives a conflicted look. He then points to her.
Kyle: You! Yeah, you! Small redhead girl with the freckles! What's your name?
Abigail: A-Abigail...
Kyle: Abigail, you want to kill all these innocent people?! C'mon, you don't want to do this. I can tell by the look on your face you don't want to do this! None of you want to do this!
Selene: What we want is blood. Blood for Roscoe. Blood for the Reapers you've killed. Point blank period. Time for you to give up, motherfucker.
Kyle: Look, he knows this. His son was an asshole. I'm an asshole, too....but we don't have to be. There's something more to this. I have friends who have become leaders here. That could be you. You can be your own leaders. Now you put down your weapons, walk through those gates, it's settled. Give up this Reaper renegade. We forget all the past, all the bullshit, and we live. No one dies. Those of us who are still alive we've all lost people we've loved. We've done terrible things to stay alive.
As Kyle speaks, Lynn starts to slowly remove the blade from Maya's throat.
Kyle: But we can get a clean slate. We get to make a change. We get to live. We all have a choice.
Maya smiles as the Reapers look around at each other, seeming convinced. Colm looks down, and nods.
Colm: He's right.
Colm lifts his head then turns to the Reapers.
Colm: He's right. This isn't the way.
Selene: Colm—
Colm: This isn't the way, Selene. Too many Reapers have died over this. There's a better way than this.
Colm turns to the Reapers holding Shawn and Maya hostage.
Colm: Cut them loose.
The Reapers turn to each other, before back at Colm.
Colm: Now!
One of the Reapers starts to untie Shawn as Colm approaches Lynn.
Colm: Lynn. Put it down. It's over...it's time to let it go.
Lynn then looks at Colm and then lowers the machete, before Colm looks up and turns to Kyle, giving him a respectful nod. Lynn looks down at the machete, then gives Kyle a hateful look.
Lynn: Fuck this.
Clutching the machete with both her hands, Lynn then slices Maya's neck, much to everyone's shock. Abigail gasps as she places her hand over her mouth.
Colm: LYNN!
Shawn looks over with a saddened look. At the hydro-electrical plant, Sarah and Rachel give shocked saddened looks while Marcus, Jenny and Joseph react and spread out.
James: NO!
Cassandra screams in anguish. Maya, bleeding out, falls to the ground.
Kyle: MAYA!
Kyle pulls out his pistol and shoots at the Reapers. Rachel opens fire, hitting Colm in the shoulder.
Sarah: You evil fucking cunt!
The survivors and the Reapers then exchange gunfire. Shawn rolls over with his hands tied. Devastated and screaming, Cassandra raises her rifle and opens fire.
Cassandra: Maya!
James: Maya! No!
Kyle retreats behind a downed generator, taking a bullet in his leg.
Kyle: Fuck!
Shawn manages to get behind the trucks. Abigail backs away in shock. Maya crawls on the ground, before Shawn manages to free himself and takes down a Reaper, snapping his neck and grabbing his assault rifle. Lynn catches up and grabs Maya, who coughs up blood.
Maya: May God have mercy on your soul.
Lynn savagely decapitates Maya with the machete, splattering blood on her face. Abigail kneels on the ground and lays down her weapon.
Selene: Abigail, pick up your gun! Fight, now!
Selene jumps down and kneels to Abigail.
Abigail: This isn't right. We shouldn't be doing this.
Selene: We are, girl.
Abigail: Lynn is fucking nuts! She just hacked a girls head off!
Selene: These people killed your boyfriend, remember?!
Abigail: This isn't for Roscoe, anymore! This is too much! We're killing innocent people!
Selene: This is for Roscoe, okay, Abigail? For our blood! Our family.
Selene puts her forehead to Abigail, comforting her.
Selene: We family. You, me and the Reapers, you hear me? We family!
Lynn stands up over Maya's decapitated body and raises her head, looking at the sky and smiles. Colm grabs Lynn and backs her into the truck.
Colm: What the fuck was that?! I didn't give you the go ahead!
Lynn: You were gonna take his offer! After what he's done!
Carter approaches Lynn and Colm as they argue.
Carter: What are we doing, guys?!
Lynn looks at Colm, before looks down.
Colm: Retreat! Everyone retreat!
Lynn pushes Colm off of her.
Lynn: Fuck that!
Lynn turns to Carter.
Lynn: Ram the fucking gate! Get in your cars! We go in hot!
Lynn turns to the hydro-electrical power plant.
Lynn: Kill everyone.
Colm: No! No! Stop!
The Reapers move in and destroy the hydro-electrical plant gates.
Colm: I said stop, goddammit! Listen to me!
Carter: Sorry, boss. I'm with your daughter on this one.
James and Cassandra retreat further back while Jenny, Marcus and Joseph open fire behind cover. Margaret and Jayden open fire from the guard tower. Sarah opens fire, killing a few. Cassandra runs out of ammo.
Casandra: Shit! I'm out!
Cassandra switches to her bow and arrow, before James taps her shoulder.
James: C'mon!
The Reapers use their APC grenade launch turret, killing a few in the explosion.
Rachel: Shit!
Marcus, Jenny and Vivian stay behind cover and fire on the Reapers as they breach the hydro-electrical plant. Casualties on both sides. The Reapers move up ahead while Colm reloads his pistol and lacks behind. Kyle then tackles Colm to the ground, before punching him in the face. James and Cassandra are barely knocked down by an explosion, Rachel retreats after being fired upon. Colm slams the back of Kyle's head on the generator, before Kyle removes Colm's hand and attempts to backhand Colm, who dodges and punches Kyle twice in the stomach. Colm then punches Kyle in the face, before Kyle does the same. Kyle then slams Colm in the generator and punches him again. Colm then blocks another attack and headbutts Kyle. Vivian attempts to fire at the Reapers, hitting a few. Marcus falls back.
Marcus: Vivian!
Vivian: I got this! Go!
The Reaper grenade launcher aims at the guard tower as Marcus and Jenny notices.
Jenny: Margaret! Get out!
Margaret turns to Marcus, then the gun turret.
Margaret: Fuck me! Jayden! Out!
Jayden: What?!
Margaret: They're aiming for the tower!
Margaret jumps over the railing of the tower as Jayden looks ahead to notice the Reaper turret launcher, hitting the tower in an explosion. Margaret jumps down in time, but Jayden is killed in the explosion as Margaret lands on her back. Marcus and Joseph appear and rush to Margaret.
Marcus: Margaret!
Joseph: You okay?!
Margaret: I'm good....Jayden?
Marcus gives a saddened look as he nods, confirming Jayden's death.
Joseph: Fuck!
James and Cassandra enter a large armored humvee and starts it up. He then drives through incoming Reapers as they attack. Lynn and the Reapers close in on Sarah and Rachel. Sarah then arms a nail bomb with a pistol in her other hand.
Sarah: Ready?!
Sarah throws the nail bomb into the air at Lynn and the Reapers. Lynn dodges just in time, but the other Reapers around her are shredded to pieces. Abigail gives a look of shock, before dropping her gun and drawing herself away from the fight. Colm throws Kyle down, before stepping onto his throat.
Colm: I didn't want this.....I just wanted justice for my son.
As Colm chokes Kyle out, suddenly, Shawn appears and hits Colm in the back of the head with butt of his assault rifle. Shawn then aims his assault rifle at Colm as Kyle stands up.
Kyle: Where's Sarah? Rachel?
Shawn: I don't know. They're inside plant somewhere.
Kyle runs back to the now burning hydro-electrical plant while Shawn aims assault rifle at Colm still.
Colm: It's not going to make it right.
As Shawn prepares to kill Colm, the sound of infected are heard as they begin to rush into the now vulnerable hydro-electrical plant. Colm uses the opportunity to hit Shawn in the mouth with the butt of the rifle, before crawling away. Shawn sprints off as the infected pour in. James and Cassandra drive up to Marcus, Margaret and Joseph with Vivian still holding the Reapers back.
James: Guys! Get in! Come on!
Marcus, Margaret and Joseph jump into the armored humvee as Marcus looks back at Vivian.
Marcus: Vivian! Run! Come on!
Vivian sprints to the humvee, but Selene shoots her in the abdomen, fatally killing her. Vivian falls to the ground dead, leaving Marcus devastated. Marcus attempts to run to her, but is held back by Margaret and Joseph.
Marcus: No! No! I can't! Let me go!
Margaret: It's too late! No!
Joseph: Marcus, No!
Joseph turns to James.
Joseph: James! Drive! Get us out of here! Now!
As Margaret and Joseph forcibly pull Marcus back in, James immediately drives off and away from the burning hydro-electrical plant. Jenny runs to her horse and hops on, before she gallops away from the hydro-electrical plant, running into two Reapers in the process. Kyle runs into the hydro-electrical plant.
Kyle: Sarah! Rachel!
In the midst of the smoke, a Reaper with a machete appears from behind Kyle, but is suddenly shot. Kyle turns as the Reaper falls dead.
Sarah: Kyle!
Kyle runs to Sarah and hugs her.
Kyle: You okay?!
Sarah: Uh-huh.
Kyle: Where's Rachel?
Sarah: I don't know. We got separated.
The infected begin to converge and devour on any remaining survivors or Reapers. Lynn recovers from the explosion as the infected start to come towards her. Lynn sighs and sees Kyle hugging Sarah, before she grabs a machete and approaches the two. Sarah looks up from the hug and sees Lynn approaching. Sarah pushes Kyle out of the way as Lynn thrust the machete into Sarah's lower abdomen, impaling her.
Kyle: NO!
Kyle attempts to shoot Lynn, but his clip is dry. Sarah is in shock as she has been stabbed, before Lynn in stabbed in the back by Rachel. Lynn then backhands Rachel, knocking her down.
Lynn: Sneaky little cunt!
Sarah then grabs Lynn's arm and punches her across the face, before she takes the machete out. Kyle reloads his pistol and attempts to shoot Lynn, but she flees. Sarah falls to the ground, bleeding and kneeling.
Kyle: Sarah! No, no, no, no.
Rachel: Oh my god. Sarah!
Tears stream down Sarah's face as Kyle attempts to help her up.
Kyle: Can you walk?
Sarah wobbles a bit but falls forward against a nearby fence.
Sarah: Does....that...answer....your question?
Rachel: Look out!
Rachel points and Kyle looks over to see a car coming at him. Kyle grabs Sarah and ducks out of the way as the car stops and the driver, a Reaper, gets out and Kyle pulls out his gun and shoots the driver in the head.
Kyle: This is our way out!
Kyle carries Sarah, bridal style, while Rachel leads them to the ar.
Kyle: C'mon, honey, c'mon.
Sarah: Did you just call me "honey"?
Sarah laughs.
Sarah: That's sweet. You almost forgot we're divorced.
Kyle: Shut up. It's a moment of panic, okay?! Don't make something out of it!
Sarah tries to fight to stay awake but the blood loss and the pain makes her blackout. As Kyle helps Sarah into the car, he then grabs Sarah's hand.
Kyle: Hold on! You're going to be okay!
Kyle walks over to the front driver seat.
Kyle: Rachel! Stay in the back! Keep her awake!
Kyle open the car door as a Stitcher runs at him, but James, driving the armored humvee, drives up and hits the Stitcher.
James: Head south, we'll catch up!
Kyle gets into the drivers seat and takes off. Shawn is fighting off the infected when James' armored humvee drives up to him. Shawn runs towards the van and jumps inside of it. Shawn shuts the door as James drives away from his former home. In the armored humvee, Cassandra sobs over the loss of her sister while Marcus, Margaret and Joseph look back at their former home now burning. The two cars drive away from the burning hydro-electrical plant. Maya's decapitated head and body remains in the grass. In the aftermath, the two cars finally manage to get some distance. Jenny rides her horse alongside the vehicles.
Kyle: Are they following us? The Reapers?
Rachel looks out the window and see James' van.
Rachel: No, just James and the others. Looks like we're okay.
Both cars come to a crossroad and stop as all the passengers exit. Jenny stops her horse and hops off.
Shawn: You guys good?
Everyone gets out of their vehicles. Sarah leans against the car, clutching her wound. Jenny hugs Shawn.
Jenny: What just happened?
Margaret: I can't fucking believe it.
Marcus pounds on the side of armored humvee.
Marcus: Fuck! Vivian....
Marcus mourns the loss of his girlfriend while Margaret comforts him.
Joseph: That was....all of our friends. All those people....
Jenny: Are we all that made it?
James: I think so, Joseph.
Joseph turns and notices Sarah's wound.
Joseph: Oh, my god! Sarah!
Joseph and Margaret rush to Sarah's aid, examining her wound.
Margaret: What happened?!
Rachel: She was stabbed.
Cassandra stands alone, looking out towards the road the group just drove on.
Margaret: Oh, Cassandra....
Jenny: Maya...she....that fucking biker bitch.
James: Goddamn it...she didn't deserve that.
James walks over to Cassandra and touches her shoulder, before she turns and embraces James. Cassandra then cries. Kyle looks down in guilt at the chaos.
Kyle: I'm sorry. Maya, she-
Cassandra pulls back from the embrace and turns to Kyle with an angered look.
Cassandra: You're sorry? You're sorry?! You're the reason they came to the goddamn plant in the first place, Kyle!
Cassandra gets in Kyle's face.
Cassandra: My sister's fucking dead because of you!
Shawn: Cassandra-easy. This wasn't his fault.
Cassandra: Bullshit! Maya, the plant, our home...what we build for two years is all gone! All because this asshole had to come back into our lives! Everywhere he goes and everything he touches, he destroys!
Kyle is left speechless.
Cassandra: Can't even say anything? You're a goddamn coward!
Cassandra punches Kyle in the face, knocking him down.
James: Cassandra! Stop!
Kyle looks up as Cassandra punches Kyle again.
Jenny: Cassandra, just stop!
Cassandra: My sister was your friend and she fucking died! Those people died! Because of you! This is all your--
Before Cassandra can punch Kyle again, they hear a gun cock. Kyle and Cassandra look and see that Rachel has a gun aimed at Cassandra.
Rachel: Hit him one more time and I'll fucking shoot you!
Cassandra backs away from Kyle stands up, his hands raised.
Cassandra: Easy, kid.
Kyle: Rachel!
James: Rachel! What the hell are you doing?! Put the fucking gun down!
Cassandra: Do you even know how to shoot--
Rachel shoots a round near Cassandra's foot.
Cassandra: Jesus Fucking Christ!
Jenny: Whoa!
Jenny's horse freaks out as Jenny calms him down.
Shawn: Rachel! Don't!
Kyle: Rachel. This isn't necessary.
Kyle walks over to Rachel.
Rachel: She was hitting you. Getting in your face.
Kyle: I get that you're trying to help, but this isn't how you do it?
Cassandra: Just fucking shoot me already! I don't give a shit anymore!
James: Cassandra! Stop!
James turns back to Rachel.
James: Rachel, please. Don't do this. You kill an unarmed person, you'll regret that for the rest of your life. Please....you don't want to do that kind of blood on your hands, do you? This is my wife, okay?
Kyle: He's right....it's not worth that guilt.
Rachel looks at Kyle, frowns then shakes her head and glares at Cassandra.
Rachel: Don't touch him again.
Rachel puts her gun away and runs off.
Kyle: Rachel!
Shawn: Let her go. She just needs to cool off.
Cassandra leans against the van and slides down to the ground as she cries. Marcus wipes his tears away.
Marcus: We have to go back. We have to bury Vivian and the others.
James: I wish we could, but the electrical plant's overrun now. We can't.
Joseph: Well, we're not safe out here either.
Shawn looks out to see a mall nearby.
Shawn: What about that mall? It might have some medical supplies. It might have food...supplies...maybe medicine.
Cassandra: All I want is to find the bitch who killed Maya! She....she needs to die!
As the group argues, Sarah falls to the ground.
Kyle: Sarah!
The rest of the group rush over and tend to the unconscious Sarah.
Kyle: Get up, get up, get up....You gotta get up! Come on!
Sarah's eyes start to close.
Kyle: Sarah! Please! I can't do this without you. Please.
Joseph checks her pulse.
Joseph: I got a pulse...but it's weak. We gotta get somewhere now.
Jenny: Then we gotta get somewhere now. She'll die if we don't get her somewhere fast!
Shawn: Guess the mall's where we're going.
At the hydro electrical power plant, Colm, Lynn, Selene, Carter and the remaining Reapers are standing by as Colm vents.
Colm: That was a complete clusterfuck! Look at this! The plant is burning and most of the us are dead! Today, there were sixty of us now there's fucking twenty! Twenty of us!
Colm stares at Lynn.
Colm: And you. You disobeyed me. You killed that girl and started a fight that I was trying to avoid.
Selene: With all due respect, Colm, I for one think Lynn made the right call.
Colm: What?
Selene: Honestly, there's no way that Desipich's solution was gonna work out anyway.
Colm: You don't know that.
Carter: Plus, two cars got away from fight and Desipich or his wife's body weren't found. They definitely got away.
Colm: No....no...we're done. This has gone too far.
Carter: What?!
Colm: I said no, goddammit! I'm still in charge of this group! That has not changed! Y'all need to remember at that! I'm the one in charge of the Reapers! Now, that's not changing until the day I'm good dead and in the fucking gr-
Suddenly, Colm is shot through the chest by a 12 gauge shrapnel, shocking Carter, Selene and the other Reapers. Colm kneels on the ground, clutching the wound in his chest. Colm coughs up blood, before Lynn walks around and in front of Colm, who immediately notices the 12 gauge shotgun. Colm looks up to Lynn in shock. Lynn tosses the 12 gauge on the ground, before pulling out her knife.
Colm: Lynn....what are you—you're my daughter. I'm still your father.
Lynn: Sorry, Dad.
Lynn grabs Colm by the head and stabs him multiple times in the chest, before finally the head. Lynn steps back as the other Reapers look in shock.
Lynn: Well....
Lynn turns back to the other Reapers.
Lynn: Looks like we're in the middle of a pow-wow....for who's next in charge? Democracy time....so I vote me....that I take up my father's mantle as leader....
Lynn raises her hand.
Lynn: All in favor?
The Reapers look at each other, before Selene raises her hand. Carter does the same, followed by the rest of the Reapers.
Lynn: Yeah....guess I'm in charge now. So....as the new leader, this is what we're gonna. We're gonna hunt down Kyle Desipich, Sarah Desipich and whoever he's with and we are going to kill them all. No rest. No prisoners. No mercy.
Lynn turns to Selene.
Lynn: Selene....follow the tire tracks out of that plant. Find out where they went. If you find them, kill the rest, but leave Kyle and Sarah to me. Alive.
Selene: You got it.
Selene takes a group of Reapers and departs.
Carter: Lynn....we couldn't find Abigail. What do we do?
Lynn: Fuck her. The bitch was too soft.
Infected start to close in due to the gunshot.
Lynn: We should move...
Lynn stares down at Colm's corpse.
Lynn: My Dad will be glad to give them dinner.
Lynn, Carter and the rest of the Reapers depart from the area as the infected arrive and begin to devour Colm's corpse.
