4-6 Back to Vegas

[00:00:02] Pain

[00:00:03] Pain is the great equalizer, the secret to life.

[00:00:08] From the time I was a boy, I learned to always inflict pain faster than my opponent.

[00:00:14] To never let pain guide my decisions, it always harnessed the pain from my own strength.

[00:00:20] The great quake brought misery and death to a callous number of people.

[00:00:24] But it made me, a god, ruler of my domain, the greatest bounty hunter to ever live.

[00:00:33] No one, no one dared run from TJ Swinson. Except one.

[00:00:40] They call her the lone survivor, the savior of the refugees.

[00:00:46] But she is my greatest bounty ever. This is life on the changing earth.

[00:00:59] I want to go.

[00:01:02] We've had this conversation, buddy.

[00:01:05] I don't care. I miss my friends and I don't want to miss my family. I don't want to sleep alone.

[00:01:12] I love you, Daniel. We will be back.

[00:01:15] I love you too. I just...

[00:01:17] It's time to roll, guys.

[00:01:18] We're coming. I love you, buddy.

[00:01:21] Make sure you come home.

[00:01:23] Bye, Daniel. Keep an eye on Johnny for me.

[00:01:26] I will.

[00:01:27] I want to see a cool new painting when we get back.

[00:01:30] I love you, little bro.

[00:01:32] Bye, star. I love you.

[00:01:35] I just well just ripped my heart out and stomped it into the ground.

[00:01:40] The world won't magically fix itself.

[00:01:43] We have to get my mom away from Tweed.

[00:01:47] Hold on the sun, call it your calling.

[00:02:15] I'm sorry about Shawn, star. So am I. What happened?

[00:02:19] Jensen got word from Cole when he checked in that the feds had invaded,

[00:02:23] and they decided to reveal themselves to me, like I didn't know he was following me.

[00:02:28] Anyway, he told us we should head west immediately with him.

[00:02:33] Cole was worried that they would come for me.

[00:02:35] Shawn freaked out he didn't want to have to leave his band.

[00:02:38] He didn't want to go back to a life on the run.

[00:02:41] You know the drummer, Todd?

[00:02:43] Yeah?

[00:02:44] He has a sister, Bre.

[00:02:45] She fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

[00:02:49] But they're landowners.

[00:02:50] He talked with another manager, and the guy arranged the paperwork.

[00:02:54] He said he still loves me, but this is his big chance to become a superstar.

[00:02:58] How do you feel about that?

[00:03:00] Well, I'm pissed. And sad. I miss him.

[00:03:05] I got him all those gigs. I thought he loved me, but it was all a lie.

[00:03:10] I don't think it was, star. Mary knew it was a fast decision that we had to make.

[00:03:16] What else was he going to do?

[00:03:18] I think he did love you, but his head grew too big, too fast once he started drawing crowds.

[00:03:24] Well, I think he's an asshole. And if I ever see him again, I'm going to rip off his balls.

[00:03:30] Dad?

[00:03:31] What? Nobody hurts my superstar.

[00:03:34] Oh, dad.

[00:03:36] Hey, I'm serious.

[00:03:37] I never trusted that jerk off anyway.

[00:03:40] Stop it, guys. He's a good guy. He just loved his music more than me.

[00:03:44] His loss.

[00:03:51] Good to see you, sir.

[00:03:52] Are we ready to roll?

[00:03:54] Yes, sir.

[00:03:55] Staff Sergeant Bingham made contact with Greg and Pitt.

[00:03:58] They should be ready for us.

[00:04:00] Excellent. Put on your thermal cloaks and keep your heads down, people.

[00:04:04] We're going into the lion's den.

[00:04:06] A tiny voice is ringing in my head.

[00:04:12] Is this the beginning or the end?

[00:04:16] I just don't know.

[00:04:31] Johnny, you watch yourself out there.

[00:04:33] We're set to go, sir. Our caravan will head south toward Vegas and pick up Dexter's family.

[00:04:38] Keep your head on a swivel. Hopefully all goes well in Vegas, but you never know.

[00:04:42] Sir, I'll do my best to come home safely. But if they need help, I'm going to provide it.

[00:04:47] I would expect nothing less. Keep an eye on that boy.

[00:04:50] I'll be fine, sir, and handle all my responsibilities.

[00:04:53] I know you will.

[00:05:10] Here we go, Burgers.

[00:05:11] Why are they flying us out? Why use the fuel?

[00:05:14] The earthquake risk is upticking exponentially. We need our command ready to respond.

[00:05:20] I hope they make it.

[00:05:25] They have the orders and a head start on the crowd.

[00:05:28] Look at how many people are here.

[00:05:30] We've got to get back to the north.

[00:05:32] That's where they're headed, ma'am. We can debate how we shouldn't have left at all.

[00:05:36] But that won't do us any good now.

[00:05:37] I knew your feelings then and now, Cole.

[00:05:39] Right now we need to focus on moving these people smoothly.

[00:05:43] We won't let any more Americans needlessly perish.

[00:05:45] Couldn't agree more.

[00:06:13] Alex!

[00:06:15] Hi, Erica.

[00:06:16] Vince, good to see you.

[00:06:19] Look how big you guys have gotten.

[00:06:23] White, take your team and secure the gardens. Erica, Dex, Smith, let's go.

[00:06:29] Keep your mother safe.

[00:06:31] I will, dad.

[00:06:37] There's a soldier.

[00:06:40] It's Walker.

[00:06:41] The cameras can see him, but they can't hear him.

[00:06:47] I'll walk through the gate and open it.

[00:06:49] Walk through and quickly search the other side.

[00:06:51] It's all the time you have to get through.

[00:06:54] The refugees are ready on the other side.

[00:07:08] Zulu, hotel, Bravo, Golf.

[00:07:14] Hello, sir. Welcome back.

[00:07:16] I wish I could see how I was happy to be here.

[00:07:18] Who would wish that, sir? Come on.

[00:07:21] Dexter Smith, you two hold this position. No one comes in.

[00:07:24] Yes, sir.

[00:07:26] She's not in any of these cells, Bennett.

[00:07:28] Come on. A lot of times they keep VIP prisoners in the other wing.

[00:07:31] Plus, the armor is over there.

[00:07:37] Hello, sir. Glad you made it.

[00:07:39] Is the armor stopped?

[00:07:40] Full ammo resupply this morning, sir.

[00:07:42] We don't have enough weapons to arm everything.

[00:07:44] That's okay. We can improvise.

[00:07:46] Go. Start bringing them all. We'll need them.

[00:07:49] Yes, sir.

[00:07:54] She's not in any of those cells either, sir.

[00:07:57] We have to find my mom.

[00:08:05] The riot ain't already. Everything is happening too fast.

[00:08:08] Don't worry. We'll find her.

[00:08:13] Guess we're going live.

[00:08:34] It's Hire! It's Erica, the savior of the refugees.

[00:08:41] We're all in this together.

[00:08:44] Has any of you seen Nancy Fisher? She's an older woman.

[00:08:48] No, man.

[00:08:49] Tweet moved her.

[00:08:51] He has her, Bennett. I have to go get her.

[00:08:53] Erica, that base will be swarming right now.

[00:08:56] She's my mom, Bennett. Don't you understand?

[00:08:59] Who's your commanding officer?

[00:09:00] I am, sir. I'm gunnery sergeant Christopher Crane, sir.

[00:09:07] I'm leaving Corporal Smith with you. He knows the details of this mission.

[00:09:10] I need you to rally these refugees and keep them pressing on towards the aid.

[00:09:14] The mercenary militia team won't be long. Just keep them alive.

[00:09:18] Dex, Erica, let's go.

[00:09:42] Disaster Coffee is fueling disaster relief in America.

[00:09:46] Our coffee is roasted to order and shipped to your front door.

[00:09:49] You cannot get it any fresher.

[00:09:52] Visit disastercoffee.com and caffeinate with a purpose.

[00:09:56] That's disastercoffee.com.

[00:10:13] They're looking good.

[00:10:15] God's making great progress.

[00:10:17] Wayne's still the most natural leader.

[00:10:19] What about Rick and James?

[00:10:21] Snipers, DJ. An outstanding one.

[00:10:25] Our Uri and Serge coming soon.

[00:10:27] Yes, sir.

[00:10:28] Lawner's been going out of his mind, road-hitting stock to get ready.

[00:10:31] Mind you worried about your business.

[00:10:34] I quit worrying about mine.

[00:10:36] Yes, sir. I'll pick you out a good one.

[00:10:39] You do that.

[00:10:49] Are you ready for some new stock?

[00:10:51] I'm so ready. Someone better know how to give you good massage.

[00:10:55] I've been working my ass off.

[00:10:56] I'm sure you'll have plenty to choose from.

[00:11:03] Black shirts. Line them up.

[00:11:06] Well done, boys.

[00:11:07] Did you pick one?

[00:11:14] This girl, Alexis.

[00:11:17] Her eyes are as blue as stars and I like her white hair.

[00:11:23] Don't you pull away from me. Get over here.

[00:11:27] Uri!

[00:11:28] I'm keeping this one.

[00:11:30] Her name is Tina. We'll see how long she lasts.

[00:11:36] Which of you is Dolores?

[00:11:39] My name is Dolores.

[00:11:41] I've read your file. You're coming with me.

[00:12:05] Hello.

[00:12:06] Hello, sweetie.

[00:12:07] What's your name, ma'am?

[00:12:08] My name's Dolores. What's your name?

[00:12:11] My name is Jenny.

[00:12:12] What do you do, Jenny?

[00:12:13] I play some clean football, DJ.

[00:12:16] I miss the introductions.

[00:12:18] I'm sorry, DJ.

[00:12:19] Don't you have work to do?

[00:12:21] Yes, DJ.

[00:12:23] You remember who protects you.

[00:12:25] You know what happens to naughty girlies around here?

[00:12:27] I don't, DJ. I'll get dinner ready.

[00:12:30] Stay focused and don't forget it.

[00:12:32] Yes, sir.

[00:12:42] Dolores, let's you and me have a chat and talk about your future here.

[00:12:46] I have nothing to say to you.

[00:12:49] Let me tell you how this is going to go.

[00:12:56] I'm going to ask you questions and you're going to tell me the answer.

[00:13:02] If you don't answer, there'll be pain.

[00:13:04] If I don't like your answer, there'll be pain.

[00:13:10] Don't!

[00:13:11] What?

[00:13:12] You never run from me. Do you understand?

[00:13:15] Not one step.

[00:13:17] I understand.

[00:13:18] This is your world now.

[00:13:20] I'm your god and you will worship me as such.

[00:13:24] You're crazy.

[00:13:26] Woman, you don't understand a half of it.

[00:13:28] I suggest you start reconsidering your place in this world.

[00:13:31] You're mine now.

[00:13:35] We'll take care of this attitude tonight.

[00:13:42] This is going to be fun.

[00:14:04] Bingham and I will hold this position.

[00:14:06] You two secure the control room.

[00:14:08] We're on it.

[00:14:20] Dad, wait. Greg, is that you?

[00:14:22] Star? Vince? Buddy, I'm glad to see you.

[00:14:26] Hi, Vince.

[00:14:28] Hi, Penny. Where are the kids?

[00:14:30] Jen and Mitchell have them in the adjacent warehouse.

[00:14:32] We're ready to go, brother.

[00:14:33] Where's Erica?

[00:14:35] She's with Bennett and Dex.

[00:14:37] They went to get her mom and the mercs out of the prison.

[00:14:43] Established in Vince, what do you think?

[00:14:45] I've been doing here.

[00:14:46] Vince, Nancy's not in the prison. Tweet has her.

[00:14:49] What?

[00:14:51] Everything secure in here?

[00:14:53] Erica's got a freak. She'll go to Tweet.

[00:14:56] They're going to trigger the alarm.

[00:14:57] This place will be swarming by then.

[00:14:59] We have to get there before the alarm sounds.

[00:15:02] Get where?

[00:15:03] To Matthew Tweet in the Luxor.

[00:15:06] No, hold on, Vince. I'm the senior officer here,

[00:15:09] and our top priority is to secure these gardens.

[00:15:13] Sebastian, I'm sorry, but I know my wife.

[00:15:17] I know what she'll try to do.

[00:15:19] I can't let her die.

[00:15:20] You're under orders, Vince.

[00:15:22] But I'm not a merc.

[00:15:24] Greg knows this system better than I do at this point.

[00:15:27] I'll stay, Dad.

[00:15:29] I'll help the incoming refugees organize to load on the train with Alex.

[00:15:34] What's your permission? I'd like to go with Vince, sir.

[00:15:36] Just go get her and get back here.

[00:15:55] What do we got, Ben?

[00:15:56] A damn shit show, sir.

[00:15:58] Merkley put his kid in charge of training.

[00:16:00] We'll put an end to that. I'll talk to Merkley.

[00:16:03] A lot of people want to keep moving. They're tired of fighting.

[00:16:07] We have to keep their hope alive.

[00:16:09] If they don't believe we can win, how will we?

[00:16:10] I'll do what I can, sir.

[00:16:12] Hopefully Ben it gets here soon. He can help you.

[00:16:15] You got a second, Cole?

[00:16:16] I have places to be, sir.

[00:16:19] You're dismissed. Come on in, Cassidy.

[00:16:21] I'm headed out.

[00:16:22] What? Now?

[00:16:24] We need to go back to Dallas.

[00:16:25] We need to have a clear path for refugees headed that direction.

[00:16:29] Can't you stay the night?

[00:16:31] Press me, babyface.

[00:16:32] Nothing would make me happier, but Governor Dixon doesn't stay in one place very long.

[00:16:37] The meeting is already set up.

[00:16:39] Damn your responsibilities, woman.

[00:16:42] I'll be back in a few days, and I promise to stay in one spot for a while.

[00:16:46] Go do what you gotta do.

[00:17:38] Hi, this is Jane Austen, otherwise known as Survivor Jane, and the voice of Dolores Chapman.

[00:17:45] I'd like to invite you to my website, survivorjane.com, where I write in a conversational tone on topics of how better to prepare yourself and family.

[00:17:55] You can also find links to my books, What Could Possibly Go Wrong, Emergency Survival Hygiene, and my game book Puzzling Over Preparedness.

[00:18:04] You can also find information on Prepper Camp, the largest three-day preparedness event in the country every fall, hosted by myself and my husband, Rick Austin.

[00:18:23] Stay in the shadows.

[00:18:25] Grace this little, like, Christmas tree.

[00:18:27] I know another way in.

[00:18:30] Guards on the upper floor where all the lights are. One guard stationed by the door.

[00:18:35] And we've got one inside.

[00:18:38] No, he's a refugee. He has chains in his room on the floor.

[00:18:43] I'm taking.

[00:18:44] Let's move.

[00:18:47] Hello. Nice night.

[00:18:49] Hold it right there.

[00:18:52] Now don't you move a muscle. Either of you, or he's dead.

[00:19:03] Don't shoot him. I'm putting the gun down.

[00:19:05] Slowly now. Slide it away.

[00:19:15] Now he's even, sir.

[00:19:18] Clint? What in the hell are you doing here?

[00:19:21] I'm headed for Texas after my run in with y'all, but the damned feds caught up to me.

[00:19:29] I needed supplies. Ain't you glad you didn't kill me?

[00:19:33] I guess so. You know, I always thought Erica had been wrong to let you go.

[00:19:39] I guess she wouldn't.

[00:19:41] I see you're still getting used out of my cloak.

[00:19:44] We sure are. But Clint, I need you to focus.

[00:19:47] How many more guards will be between here and Tweed's office?

[00:19:53] Hell if I know. I ain't never been in enough trouble to get sent up there.

[00:19:59] That's where we're headed.

[00:20:00] Well, y'all are on your own.

[00:20:04] Come on, Jensen. We'll go through the refugee processing area.

[00:20:14] Here's all this fence.

[00:20:16] They ensure all the refugees are cleaned up before being displayed to the landowners for adoption.

[00:20:21] That's sick, man.

[00:20:23] That door takes you back into the main area of the Luxor.

[00:20:27] That one will take us to the adoption interview rooms.

[00:20:35] Matthew Tweed's office is down here.

[00:20:38] This is it.

[00:20:41] Three, two, one.

[00:20:45] Just hold it right there.

[00:20:47] Burnin' some dies.

[00:20:49] How nice of you to join us, Vince. It's been a while.

[00:21:01] This is like organizing feral cats.

[00:21:04] They're just scared.

[00:21:07] Terrence.

[00:21:08] Hey there, Star. Good to see ya.

[00:21:10] We got too many folks around those gardens.

[00:21:13] I'll clear them out.

[00:21:14] We'll help you.

[00:21:18] You guys need to head towards the train. Clear this area.

[00:21:27] Let's check on Greg.

[00:21:35] Where's he headed?

[00:21:37] I know that guy.

[00:21:38] Staff Sergeant White? He's with us, Sergeant.

[00:21:41] He's with the feds.

[00:21:42] You must have him confused with someone else.

[00:21:45] Tell him you start.

[00:21:46] He's with the feds.

[00:21:48] Who?

[00:21:48] I saw that guy that just left. White.

[00:21:51] He was here a little over a month ago.

[00:21:52] They flew him in on a helicopter.

[00:22:00] The feds are pressing this way.

[00:22:02] Greg, what did he say before he left?

[00:22:05] Who?

[00:22:05] White. What did he say before he left?

[00:22:07] He mumbled something about how we were going to lose our gardens.

[00:22:10] He's a mole, Greg.

[00:22:12] What do you think he'll do?

[00:22:13] We got him with his billions.

[00:22:15] And I've got to warn my folks.

[00:22:17] Where did Staff Sergeant White go, Greg?

[00:22:19] Defined by Sanerica.

[00:22:21] I don't know what the feds are planning to do here, Greg.

[00:22:24] You might want to think of moving your people out of here.

[00:22:27] I know you need this food.

[00:22:29] It's not worth your life.

[00:22:31] I have to find one.

[00:22:47] The girls Yuri and Sir had brought in are some quality women, TJ.

[00:22:52] That stock I've seen in a while.

[00:22:54] Well fed and healthy.

[00:22:55] All thanks to their caretaker, Miss Dolores.

[00:22:59] The pretty woman on the wall?

[00:23:00] She'll be broken soon enough.

[00:23:02] You going to keep her?

[00:23:03] She'll always be close. That's for sure.

[00:23:05] Good. Let me use it for my girls.

[00:23:08] Duh.

[00:23:09] You picked at a girl yet, Carl?

[00:23:11] The night is young, Chuck.

[00:23:13] What's the rush?

[00:23:15] How's the Supreme General's battle going?

[00:23:17] Bad.

[00:23:18] He's losing ground in the south and the west.

[00:23:22] He has enough force to kill half of them, so the others submit.

[00:23:25] It's more complicated than that, TJ.

[00:23:28] Is it?

[00:23:29] I thought you should know Erica is alive and she's headed to Vegas.

[00:23:34] I know.

[00:23:35] You knew where she was all along, didn't you?

[00:23:38] Of course I did.

[00:23:39] Why didn't you tell the Supreme General?

[00:23:42] I'm not a killer, Carl.

[00:23:45] The hell you aren't?

[00:23:46] I guess it depends on the opponent.

[00:23:49] I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to break that woman.

[00:23:52] You're going to have to.

[00:23:53] The Supreme General is bringing the planes from Vegas now.

[00:23:57] They're going to bomb the city on their way out.

[00:24:00] That strategy sounds too familiar, but hell, maybe it'll work for him this time.

[00:24:06] Jenny! Get me another bottle.

[00:24:08] Where is that girl?

[00:24:21] Jenny, what are you doing back here?

[00:24:24] I'm sorry, TJ, it was...

[00:24:25] ...hanging out with a refugee whore.

[00:24:27] Alexis, get your ass out of here and find Ser J.

[00:24:30] Yes, sir.

[00:24:31] Jenny, come here.

[00:24:41] You don't talk to refugees.

[00:24:43] But she wanted to play and I was all alone.

[00:24:46] You want to back talk me?

[00:24:49] No, TJ. I'm sorry.

[00:24:51] You think you're alone?

[00:24:52] You can spend the night in that cell and see how alone you are.

[00:24:55] TJ.

[00:24:56] What? You have more to say?

[00:24:58] No, TJ.

[00:25:00] Or keep that whore on Alicia, Ser J.

[00:25:13] So the girls want to give you?

[00:25:16] It's a part of TJ.

[00:25:18] The way you treat that girl, she won't last a month.

[00:25:21] I'm not going to let Jenny get attached.

[00:25:23] Oh, TJ's off spot for his little girls.

[00:25:28] You better shut your mouth, Ser J.

[00:25:30] Or what, TJ?

[00:25:39] Send me a prayer and I'll spy

[00:25:41] My wings to the sky

[00:26:19] Let's go

[00:26:25] I'm not going to let you get in your knees, Vince.

[00:26:26] Or I'll kill her.

[00:26:28] Your dark friend too.

[00:26:30] Get their weapons.

[00:26:34] There, that's better.

[00:26:36] I wasn't expecting you, Vince.

[00:26:38] Where is that whore wife of yours?

[00:26:41] Not talking?

[00:26:42] Show him what happens when refugee scum

[00:26:44] Doesn't do what they're told, Captain.

[00:26:47] With pleasure, sir.

[00:26:55] Remember knocking my tooth out, you son of a bitch.

[00:27:03] That's enough.

[00:27:05] Now, let's try this again.

[00:27:07] Where is that bitch of a wife of yours?

[00:27:10] If you're here, she's here.

[00:27:12] Where is she, Vince?

[00:27:14] Oh, was that your tooth?

[00:27:17] Go to hell, Matthew.

[00:27:19] Captain.

[00:27:28] You know where she is?

[00:27:30] He wants to talk.

[00:27:32] See, Nancy, people are always willing to be helpful.

[00:27:35] You just have to ask the right way.

[00:27:37] You pig!

[00:27:38] Wait until you see what I'm going to do to your daughter.

[00:27:42] Maybe I'll let you watch.

[00:27:45] So, Mr. Black, where is she?

[00:27:49] She's flying overhead right now on a purple peg, assistant.

[00:27:52] What? Do you think this is a game?

[00:27:54] Captain!

[00:28:03] Vince, can you hear me?

[00:28:05] I will kill Nancy.

[00:28:07] I have you now, so where's Erica?

[00:28:19] I've got the captain!

[00:28:28] No, you don't!

[00:28:30] Get out of here!

[00:28:31] Get off me, you fat pig!

[00:28:33] Oh, you piece of shit!

[00:28:43] Mom? Mom? Oh my God, Vince!

[00:28:47] Let's get Tweets fat ass off of him.

[00:28:55] I'm... I'm good.

[00:28:57] Thank God he's alive.

[00:29:10] I'm afraid that in the end you're more than I deserve.

[00:29:18] Every time I count my blessings I count.

[00:29:29] Every time I count my blessings I count you third.

[00:29:35] Every time I count my blessings I count you...

[00:29:49] That girl is so sweet, DJ.

[00:29:53] Well worth the time and effort.

[00:29:55] If you and Anthony keep after her like that, she's not gonna last long.

[00:30:00] She's like a drug, DJ. I can't stop.

[00:30:07] Looks like it's my turn to game.

[00:30:21] Your men are pigs.

[00:30:23] There's something about that girl, isn't there?

[00:30:26] I raised her like a daughter.

[00:30:28] My brother, Sergei, chose her.

[00:30:30] She says now.

[00:30:32] Just like your mind now.

[00:30:34] The sooner you realize that, the easier your life will be.

[00:30:41] What did I tell you?

[00:30:43] You never run for me.

[00:30:45] Not one step.

[00:30:47] When I talk to you, you say, yes, TJ.

[00:30:52] Don't push me, woman.

[00:30:55] It will not end well for you.

[00:31:02] Can you hear her screaming?

[00:31:04] No!

[00:31:06] No!

[00:31:13] You wanted to stop?

[00:31:29] Yes, TJ.

[00:31:31] Then tell me, TJ, I will never run from you.

[00:31:35] TJ, I will never run from you.

[00:31:37] Good girl.

[00:31:47] Jenny, breakfast in the morning.

[00:31:50] Yes, TJ.

[00:31:56] Grandma!

[00:31:57] Come on, Vence.

[00:32:03] Thanks, Nancy.

[00:32:05] That was badass, Mom!

[00:32:07] Now we know where you get it from, Cupcake.

[00:32:09] Oh, man.

[00:32:10] Look, I'm here.

[00:32:11] Let me take a look at that.

[00:32:13] That should do for now. Let's go.

[00:32:32] How are y'all doing?

[00:32:34] We could have used some help.

[00:32:36] I can see that.

[00:32:38] Clint, what in the hell are you doing here?

[00:32:40] You know this guy, Erica?

[00:32:42] Long story, but yeah.

[00:32:46] Hey, thanks, mister.

[00:32:48] We can't have you slowing us down.

[00:33:05] Staff Sergeant White, why aren't you at your post?

[00:33:08] I have one more thing to do before my mission is accomplished.

[00:33:12] What are you talking about?

[00:33:13] The mission is not over until the compound is ours.

[00:33:16] Please don't do it, Sebastian.

[00:33:19] I'm so sorry, Vence. I like to,

[00:33:21] but she has to die for the good of our great union.

[00:33:25] No!

[00:33:29] Las Vegas is compromised.

[00:33:31] Target has not been destroyed.

[00:33:37] Star? Are you okay?

[00:33:39] I'm good. Thanks to you.

[00:33:42] My superstar.

[00:33:51] Let's move to the building.

[00:34:19] Erica!

[00:34:20] Clint's dead!

[00:34:21] Leave him. We have to go.

[00:34:23] In the freezer.

[00:34:34] In the freezer?

[00:34:35] I'll unplug it. It will keep us safe.

[00:34:37] Come on, Erica!

[00:35:43] If Henderson couldn't have the gardens, no one could.

[00:35:48] Do you think they survived?

[00:35:50] Henderson hasn't been able to take them down with Danny.

[00:35:52] I'm sure we'll find him.

[00:36:00] Can I help you?

[00:36:01] Hi, Terrence.

[00:36:02] Oh, hey, Daniel.

[00:36:03] We're looking for Staff Sergeant Bingham.

[00:36:05] We haven't made it. We'll find him.

[00:36:07] There's Greg.

[00:36:09] Hey, Daniel.

[00:36:11] It's good to see you.

[00:36:12] Who's your friend?

[00:36:13] This is Trent Holland, Johnny.

[00:36:15] We're going to get Mom and Dads.

[00:36:17] Where are they?

[00:36:18] We're not sure.

[00:36:19] Is your family okay?

[00:36:22] We're good.

[00:36:23] But if you have doctors, plenty of work to do.

[00:36:25] Walker, can you get the people that are left organized?

[00:36:29] We brought buses for the wounded,

[00:36:31] but we need to get these people on the move.

[00:36:33] Yes, sir.

[00:36:34] Where was the last known location of Bennett and the Morse?

[00:36:37] They went to the lecture.

[00:36:39] I'll show you the way.

[00:36:40] Daniel, bring Tucker.

[00:36:42] He'll find Dexter.

[00:36:43] Okay.

[00:36:44] Come on, Tucker.

[00:37:01] The bombing stopped.

[00:37:18] Here, hold the light.

[00:37:26] Oh, man, this is not happening.

[00:37:30] Come on.

[00:37:31] At least there's a cold steak for my face.

[00:37:35] But everything is going to melt.

[00:37:36] What about Jensen's arm?

[00:37:39] Is there anything we can use to wrap it better?

[00:37:41] Someone help us!

[00:37:44] They can't hear you, Dexter.

[00:37:46] Oh, it has to be daytime by now.

[00:37:49] Hey, look, ice cream.

[00:37:51] But nothing to help Jensen.

[00:37:53] Here, it's chocolate.

[00:37:55] Really, Bennett?

[00:37:56] Why not?

[00:37:57] In a few hours, it'll be liquid anyway.

[00:37:58] I'll take a chocolate chip cookie dough in that case.

[00:38:03] This is the plan.

[00:38:05] Debris has blocked the door.

[00:38:07] Eventually, they'll search this area.

[00:38:08] We have to make sure we're making noise while they're searching.

[00:38:11] We'll go on half hour shifts of banging the shelf against the door.

[00:38:15] Dexter, you're up first.

[00:38:18] All we can do is rewrap it for now, Jensen.

[00:38:21] All this crap is going to melt.

[00:38:23] Let's pile it all on the shelf over there.

[00:38:25] We can slide these two together so Jensen and Vince have a place to lie down.

[00:38:30] If we pile the meat, it should stay frozen longer.

[00:38:34] So, how was it living in Dallas?

[00:38:37] Hot.

[00:38:38] I enjoyed the position, but I missed my grandkids so much.

[00:38:43] Don't get me wrong, Brett's daughters took good care of me

[00:38:46] and her children are little dollies.

[00:38:49] But it only made me miss Dex, and Star, and Daniel more.

[00:38:53] I thought maybe we could get you once we got to Minnesota,

[00:38:56] but that was a joke.

[00:38:58] After news of the Northern meeting came,

[00:39:01] I knew there was no way I'd be able to get across Region Pass.

[00:39:07] Then, one day Matthew shows up.

[00:39:10] He claimed my occupational pass was denied.

[00:39:14] We took a train back to Vegas, but I knew something was wrong.

[00:39:19] None of it felt right.

[00:39:21] We had all seen Matthew's desire to discredit you,

[00:39:24] and when it all blew up in his face, he was livid.

[00:39:29] I knew he wanted revenge, but he housed me well

[00:39:32] and often spent evenings talking about what happened to him after the Great Quake.

[00:39:38] The governing board made him a scapegoat, Mom.

[00:39:41] I had a run-in with Miss Crane Tillman,

[00:39:44] leader of the Western FEMA region in Colorado.

[00:39:47] She told me that they didn't want to make a murder of me,

[00:39:50] and that's why they let me go.

[00:39:52] She didn't seem to have a problem with it anymore though,

[00:39:55] and was going to ship us back to the capital to be tried, executed.

[00:40:00] Matthew was just a pawn.

[00:40:02] I'll take the next shift, Dex.

[00:40:07] The trip across the country was crazy, Grandma.

[00:40:13] We saw the USS Missouri.

[00:40:15] The battleship?

[00:40:16] Yeah. That's when Daniel almost died.

[00:40:20] What?

[00:40:21] They implanted him with a tracker that had a kill switch.

[00:40:24] What?

[00:40:25] You have a tracker in you?

[00:40:27] We can get that taken care of though.

[00:40:29] Then we fought dogs and that got bit back.

[00:40:34] He's got a gnarly scar on his arm.

[00:40:36] Why didn't you tell me all this when we talked?

[00:40:39] The government was monitoring all of our conversations.

[00:40:43] I couldn't.

[00:40:44] We've killed a lot of soldiers.

[00:40:46] Bennett covered for you?

[00:40:48] You're damn right I did.

[00:40:49] Erica's story has had a big impact on this country.

[00:40:52] We were winning.

[00:40:53] But then, Henderson made himself the supreme general and took total control.

[00:40:58] I'll take over, Bennett.

[00:41:26] Did you sleep?

[00:41:27] How can I sleep with all the endless banging?

[00:41:30] It's your turn.

[00:41:33] No, no, no!

[00:41:35] You have to be kidding me!

[00:41:38] Someone help!

[00:41:42] Erica, it's okay.

[00:41:44] We'll all together. We're alive.

[00:41:46] They'll find us.

[00:41:47] Bennett's right, baby.

[00:41:50] Did you hear that?

[00:41:53] I think I heard something.

[00:41:57] We're out there!

[00:42:05] Trucker?

[00:42:06] It's okay, buddy. We're here.

[00:42:09] Is that you, Dex?

[00:42:10] Yeah, we're all here.

[00:42:13] Daniel, I'll truck her back.

[00:42:31] Bennett, he needs help.

[00:42:33] Jensen's hurt too.

[00:42:35] Oh my God.

[00:42:37] Look at what they did.

[00:42:41] Hi, Mom!

[00:42:44] There's a site for sore eyes.

[00:42:46] Oh, trucker!

[00:42:51] Let's get moving, guys.

[00:42:53] Earl has medical busts in caravan and ready to roll.

[00:42:57] We need to move now.
