She started her day at home in the mountains just like any other.
There was nothing unusual about making the familiar drive down to Sacramento to go to work.
Then, in a flash, Mother Nature decided it was time to create a new landscape.
Follow the journey of a dynamic young woman, mother and wife, Erika,
as she is thrust into a world turned upside
down by a series of natural disasters. Embark on a gripping journey with Erica
in Sarah F. Hathaway's Day After Disaster.
You better start talking, sweetheart.
If I tell you what I know, how do I know you'll help me safely cross the river?
You shouldn't ask so many questions with a gun pointed at you with nowhere to go.
Oh Sam, don't act like one of those jerks out there.
Show her the crossing and let her go if that's what she needs.
She's not asking for food or water. She's offering to help, so shut up!
My name's Jack. We aren't going to harm you, the girls, or your horses.
My name is Erica.
Please follow me.
I'll show you the river crossing and a place for your horses while we talk.
This is quite a community you've built here.
We've been trying.
At least we're clean.
Wow, this isn't a crossing. It's a bridge. We've been trying. At least we're clean.
Wow, this isn't a crossing. It's a bridge. I held up my end with a bargain. You can tie your horses up there by the river so they can drink.
Thank you.
Please, sit here.
I came to tell you all about an impending attack.
When?
Tonight.
How do you know?
What else do you know?
I traveled all the way from Newcastle, keeping to the edge of the forest.
I saw those men, and I heard what they said.
They said they were attacking tonight with
grapplers.
How can we believe this girl? I mean she's waltzing down the mountain with two horses.
How'd she ever get past that patrol? I think she's a plant.
You can believe what you want Sam, but I'm telling you the truth. I have no reason to
lie to you.
Steve, will it work?
I don't think a grappler would be able to penetrate the walls, but if they could get
up and over, yeah, they could pull it down.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but do you mind if I see to my horses and the girl?
We have a long way to go still.
I'm leaving too.
Jacqueline, we talked about this.
I need to see to the horses now I
feel kind of bad for telling them I don't like being here knowing those men
are coming we're leaving as soon as the horses have some water No matter the rain, no matter the storm, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Leave open the gate, don't turn off the light, I'm a hero Don't you know it's not polite to sneak up behind people?
I'm sorry TJ, I just love watching you.
Come on over here.
R-really?
Yeah, you wanna try?
Yes sir I do.
Well then, move your feet boy.
Thank you sir.
Be careful, she bites. I think I got it.
Ow! Dang! I told you she bites. I think I'll just watch you if that's okay TJ.
When did you get that win? It was the best birthday ever. My father just got ownership of the hotel.
I cleaned it from top to bottom that day, but I got my own bedroom for the first time, and Javier and I found Sheila and Maria.
Why do you call her that?
That's a story for another day.
Don't you have some place you need to be?
Yes sir, TJ.
Then get there.
Yes sir, TJ. Then get there. Yes sir TJ.
You just can't let go of the worst best thing
That's ever happened to you
Where do you think they all went?
It's like a damn ghost town
They're probably sheltering a place, hoping help comes before a looter does
I don't know Major
Seems really quiet
It's creepy
What was that?
Running from the grocery store? Yeah.
I think it was a kid.
Let's check it out.
Stay frosty.
In here.
Chappie, Monroe, you're on point.
Yes, sir.
Bottom level clear Yes sir. Bottom level clear sir. Let's clear upstairs. In here sir. Please
don't hurt us. We're here to help you. Are you okay? My mom, she's really sick. Higgs, what do you think?
Major signs of dehydration. Has your mom been throwing up? Yes, when she wakes up.
Burgess, there's a group of refugees at the other end of town. We have to keep moving.
Do you want to come with us?
Yes.
Get the woman ready to move. We'll take her to the med center in Fargo.
Yes, sir. different me how do i come back
can we let it be for just a little more
my mind is wide and aching at the core. 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.
You can also find links to my books, What Could Possibly Go Wrong, Emergency Survival
Hygiene, and my game book, Puzzling Over Preparedness.
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.
We've decided to leave as well. Really? Where will you go? I don't know, but those
men are just gonna keep coming until they have accomplished their goal and we're dead or captured.
Once the winter comes, this place is gonna be a mud hole anyway.
I'm headed up the mountain. My horses could help carry your stuff.
We sure would appreciate that.
They're coming soon. We need to move fast.
We aren't leaving quietly. We have defensive water cannons.
And we're going to rig the generator to blow the bridge.
That should slow them down.
It's going to be a challenge for Kit to pull a cart in this mud.
And we better get them handed out as soon as possible.
Who's going with the cart?
We're sending Richard and Joan. They survived with their four-year-old and they're taking care of
another child they found lost in the neighborhood. We don't need them in battle.
Taylor, Rainy and Kim will go with you to make sure they're safe. We have two more
groups pulling the hand carts. We're gonna send them in different directions.
We'll all meet up at the top. That way, if any team has followed, only one falls.
I'm out of here. I can't wait to see my kids again.
Thank you for giving me the motivation, Erica.
You all packed then?
I'm all set.
I'm gonna miss you. But I understand. They're coming down the canyon side Open the gate!
Jacqueline will be caught!
Run Jacqueline! Run! Are you hungry yet?
Yes sir.
Theresa.
Yes TJ. hungry yet yes sir Teresa yes TJ take him a small cup of water
the pain can end anytime you like all you have to do is make a choice.
What do you better do with the woman you brought in last night?
Whatever I want. She tried to kill me.
Why do you care?
I don't.
Don't lie to me.
She's my sister.
In that case, your choice doesn't just indicate your pain anymore.
But I can be benevolent as well.
You've seen the loyalty of my community.
Teresa. You've seen the loyalty of my community. Theresa!
Yes TJ. Who made you serve me? No one. You saved our town. I serve you because I
want to. You see I'm trying to save these communities. We need to reserve supplies
to save as many people as we can. I don't want to fight.
Your leader in Henderson chose to attack me.
Tell me his name, and you and your sister can stay here, be fed, and fight for me.
Choose wisely.
You'll kill me if I tell you.
Teresa, please go to your room.
Yes, TJ.
Good morning, girly. Please don't do this.
Please, sir.
I want to introduce you to one of my favorite ladies.
Her name is Sheila.
Please, sir, don't touch her. You can end it all right now.
Arnold, don't you tell a thing.
Susan!
Are you ready to tell me?
I told you. I don't know!
Your sister just told me you know.
So don't freaking lie to me!
Oh no, no, no!
I get it.
You're a man that likes pain. Let's see how you like this.
Don't touch her!
Arnold, I don't give second chances. But if you tell me right now, I'll give your sister one.
It's Kelly Doyle!
His name is Kelly Doyle! me I will stand out and catch you slowly I feel like a hurricane going round and round
in my veins.
Hello, this is L. Douglas Hogan, voice of T.J. Swinson. You can follow me at Amazon
or go to Facebook.com slash honor your oath.
I look forward to seeing you there.
But she's sick and needs help.
Is she a landowner?
What does it matter?
She needs help.
I understand, but as you can see our beds are full.
We can make room, but we have to reserve the spots for landowners.
Take her to the FEMA camp.
That's where we're shipping all the sick refugees.
These are people, Doctor.
National triage, Major.
This flu is kicking our butts.
If you have supplies, I'll take them, but I can't take more refugees.
If I bring you more supplies, will you take her?
I'm sorry, Major Verges. I can't.
Good luck getting supplies then.
Should we take her inside?
No. We have to take her to Minneapolis.
This medical facility is full.
You're not looking too good verges
I'm fine. Let's move out
Why don't we take her to Earl? You know he'll help. I
Like the way you think chappy
major
I'm not feeling so good
I'm going with you! No Star, stay here!
No, Erica, don't leave me, please!
Come on!
But you hold tight and don't let go!
Erica, they have a herd!
There's nothing we can do.
You're right. We have to get back. They're going to blow the bridge. And we're on the wrong side.
Doug, there it is. The horse. Those girls are riding it. Hang on.
Go Erica, go!
We'll be safe once we're past the damning.
The walls are coming down!
They're pulling back to the bridge. We have to get across it before it blows.
Come on Erika!
He's dead!
Sam will trigger it! Oh crap!
What?
He's dead. You just keep riding.
Do you understand?
I told you to keep riding.

Teresa! Teresa?
Yes TJ.
Go get Yuri. You asked for me?
Looks like I won the bet.
You always win the bets.
That's because I'm the best.
Take Harlow here and put him in the pit.
Let the fighters beat him until he's dead.
He told you what you wanted.
You said we could have a second chance.
No, darling.
I told him I would give you a second chance.
Don't make me reconsider.
You got what you needed then? I did. And she's
going to tell me the rest or she'll share his fate. I'm sure I can find other uses for
her. Once I'm done, she's yours. How you feeling?
A little better today.
You're looking better, but you'll have to spend two more weeks in there.
I understand.
How many have we lost, Doc?
Too many.
You're lucky to have recovered so quickly.
I'm going to put water in the doorway.
Do you think you have enough energy to take it around?
I can do that.
Thanks.
I only have so many hazmat suits, and I'd like to wait until tomorrow to use another
one. Here you go, Sharon.
Thank you for caring for us.
Is my son okay?
He was quarantined for two weeks and didn't show any symptoms.
He's staying at the orphanage until you recover.
Thank you.
Monroe, wake up, buddy. Thank you.
Monroe, wake up buddy. Ugh.
Virgis?
Here, drink this.
Oh man.
I feel like I was hit by a truck.
You're going to make it, brother.
What about Chappy and Higgs?
We lost Higgs, but Chappy is right over there.
He'll recover as well.
Oh man.
That's some gnarly stuff.
It's not easy to beat.
We were lucky.
You rest, buddy.
What?
Chappy?
Chappy?
Wake up.
Here, drink this.
Thanks, Berthes.
Just rest, Chappy. You'll be better before you know it.
I hope sorry. Am I one of those crazy people?
Should I stay here or should I let go?
