Life was so simple when I was young. I fell in love, graduated from college, and started a family. We shopped in supermarkets, sipped coffee, and watched TV. We should have known it was coming. The Bible foretold it. Nostradamus predicted it. And the Hopi elders told stories about it. The Great Quake. The earthquake that changed everything.

People who lost it all became climate refugees and those that didn't became elitist landowners. They call me the lone survivor of Sacramento. The savior of the refugees. But I'm just a woman, a wife, a mother. This is life on the changing earth. Ugh, I can't believe we still have to eat this crap. I don't see the other rescue squad here. Maybe it's because we are still in training.

Or maybe it's because Bennett has it out for us. Not all of us. Yeah, thanks a lot for having my back this morning. We were all late. That comment about how the team wasn't yours it was Bennett's. That was FK. I thought he was going to laugh. Oh boy that fast fire.

I'm not getting on his bad side. That man looks like he was gonna laugh. Oh boy, that backfire. I'm not getting on his bad side. That man looks like he could be brutal. And my mom gets carted around on his go-kart like the Queen of Sheba. Well, we're all sucking dust. What? I'm not gonna say no. And I would probably fall over dead from all that damn exercise. Well, we're gonna be ripped after this.

And speaking of kissing up, what's up with you constantly trying to outperform everyone, Erica? I have to earn brownie points where I can. Plus, normally if you go faster than everyone else, you get a rest while everyone catches up. But Bennett always seems to have something more for me to do. How about those guys that were working out on the field next to us? Hot!

Really? Not as hot as you though. No, they were freaking hot. Hahaha, hi cupcake. You ready to get back to it? I was just finishing up. You're done, come on. Guess I'll see you guys later.

I was actually impressed by you this morning, but now we're going to see what you can really do. You still have a little tooth stuck in your mustache. What? Nothing. In here. First let's see how you do in the ring. But sir, I don't see anyone my size. Recruit more? Are you thinking again? Plus, no one is your size.

Sir, I'm going to get creamed if I step in that ring with either of those men. It's not thinking, it's self-preservation. You know what, recruit more? I'm done giving you orders. You're not going to follow them anyway privates will you please escort this recruit to the ring let's see how far her mouth will get her in there yes sir what's up with the little scrappy girl sergeant watch this chick fight she's tough as nails

nails. Oh damn, she folded him with that kick. They're not going to underestimate her anymore. Oh that punch dazed her, it's over. Hold on. Oh, elbow to the abdomen followed by an axe kick. That's a sick move. Oh, that kick broke her ribs for sure. But she's still going.

She knocked him out cold, that's unbelievable. Go get Smith, get in there. Yes sir. Oh. Oh. Oh. Ah. Oh. Oh. Oh. That's enough boys, you can go. Recruit more?

Orders are to be followed. You have to work together as a team to win, and you must be ready to lead that team and keep them alive. Now stand up. Yes sir. The shit out there is real hopscotch. You need to be 100% on task or your family will die. Yes sir. Better, much better. You are dismissed. I think the best when I can not breathe We only talk inside of your dead head I'm volunteering for the war

To want less, much more You're burning roses when you're scared I'm sorry I can't Jesus girl, are you okay? Yes sir, I'm fine. Are you going to get some chow? Not tonight sir. I'm not myself, but I don't need help I'm holding on, with me around tonight

I've been searching for the one I love, but she seems to have slipped away. There you are. Where have you been? I was worried sick. Oh my god, what the fuck happened to you? Sergeant Bennett didn't like my answer. He did this to you? I'm gonna kill that bastard!

This is it, Erica. We are done. Vince, just calm down. He didn't do this. Some of the soldiers I was in the ring with did. He was just trying to get me to follow orders without questioning. It's my fault. We can't quit now.

No, baby. This is too much. I'm not letting some asshole beat my wife to a pulp. I'm going over there and- No, Vince. You can't. Please. Really. It was my fault. I knew I shouldn't, but I did it anyway. My little fireball. Come here. It'll be okay Please tell me It'll be okay Get them on the transport and get them out of here before the feds come. You think this will work TJ? If we get them out of here before the sun comes up.

What the hell is a holdup, Yuri? They're ready. Except Guy insists on talking to you. Guy, get on the bus. Why are you sending me away, TJ? You don't ask questions, boy. You trust me and do as you're told. Now get on the bus. Yes, yes, yes sir.

Get that bus out of here! The sun is coming up, DJ. Grey will be here soon to oversee the procedures. I know. I'm stalling. Commander Grey needs to experience Sheila's wrath so that he will never cross me again. Oh, what are you going to to do TJ? You'll see. Get the fighters lined up for the spectacle with Nate and let me worry about the rest. See you day come.

Good morning TJ. Do you have the facility ready? We're all set. I'm lining my fighters up now. There's something I need to show you before we begin. Okay. The fighters are assembled TJ. Black shirts in front just like you see. You may be wondering why I gathered you all here today. As my elite fighters, nothing less than excellence is required from you. Everyday you make choices, and one of you made the wrong choice. Nate, step forward. Take off your shirt and face the fighters.

Yes, T.J. Nate chose to break a direct order. He made the choice out of compassion, a weakness that will not be tolerated. Nate now wears my mark. His compassion was aimed at a fellow black shirt, which one of you would hesitate to make the same choice? Each of you should be honored to wear my mark and only those of you who have earned your black shirts will have the right to wear it. Who is deserving enough to step forward and receive it?

I am sir. I am sir! Shirts off, line up. After you receive the honor, head towards the medical tent. Yes, TK! My mind, I work that way. I won't forget that pain. My mind, I work that way. Goddamn, these guys are dicks. What the hell is the feds feeding them?

Whatever it is, it sure does keep them high strung. You ready to head out, Major? I am, but I'm not going with you. Come again, sir? I want you two to head back to Reno. Make sure everything is in order and our trucks are ready to go. Where are you headed, sir? I'm going to the homesteads in Colorado. Johnny's coming with me and Nicholson's meeting is there. That's a big risk, don't you think? Maybe, but we

can't talk on the airwaves. If this woman is the lone survivor, I have to know. We can use her legend to inspire the others. You know what happens if chaos reigns, sir? People die. I know. We're taking a page from William Baker's book. We're going to fight them in the courtroom with public opinion so we can maintain order and transition back to a free system peacefully. Sounds like a pipe dream to me. Call it what you want, but we have to try.

I'll meet you back in Reno, but have us ready to roll. Yes sir. Come on, Johnny. What's up, Tim? You've been quiet lately. I just got a lot to think about these days. Better get your head in the game. You know that Burgess gets caught. We're going to be in a full time civil war. I know, but I have to agree with Burgess. If we don't make

a stand for the people of this country who will, we're recovering. We could reestablish the Constitution. Now you're dreaming too? It's not, Chappie. That was the promise the governing board made when they instituted the infertilization procedure. You think they're going to give up their power? If the people call for it they would have to reinstate it. The fighting would end and I could start a life with... With Ginger? Yeah, with Ginger. Cause I tried and tried to tell her what I really was. I tried to tell her who we are.

What are you not telling me? Nothing. There's something you're never this quiet. You can't tell Virgis. Oh man, I knew there was something. And I can't tell Virgis? Now you have to tell me. Ginger is pregnant Bill. You're gonna be a daddy?

Yeah. That's a great thing. Why would you want me to keep it a secret? Ginger and I are both mercs. So? So that's no way to raise our child. People do it all the time Tim. We have daycare. I know that. We just don't want to raise our kid in this fight. Look around Tim. This is life now. Wherever you go it's going to be a struggle. At least when we fight we're fed and free.

You said it yourself Bill. A war is coming. I'm not sure I want to be here when it comes. None of us do. What happened to someone has to do something for these people. You encouraged Burgess to come back when it comes. None of us do. What happened to someone has to do something for these people. You encouraged Burgess to come back into the fight. Now you want to leave because your girl is having a kid? That's fucked up, Tim. So much has changed since I found out about the baby. I have the woman I love and a baby on the way. I don't know.

It's just what they call it. It's just a nesting instinct. Because of the kid, I don't know. It's just, what do they call it? It's just a nesting instinct. Because of the kid, it will pass. Nesting instinct? What the hell do you know about nesting instincts? What are you gonna do then? You're going to a camp. If you don't fight, that's where you're going. I know.

It'll pass, Tim. You'll see. I guess. But but all the same please don't tell Verges about ginger yet whatever you want but you know it'd be happy for you guys And that the stars above it all gone and black and white I will connect those lines and find another place to hide I'll try to love this life away Hi, this is Jane Austen, otherwise known as Survivor Jane and the voice of Dolores Chapman. 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 Hy 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. That rain was intense this morning. At least you guys get to stay inside this afternoon.

How much do you want to bet Bennett keeps me out in the rain all afternoon? I thought you two had been getting along good these past couple weeks. We have. I just know him and he wouldn't miss the opportunity to torture me. At least you get to learn new stuff every day. I know more than the morons teaching these classes. Now they're asking me to show the crew about the electronics. Hey, future job security!

True. I've got my hands full with prepping the gardens for while I'm gone, and making a list of supplies we need. I don't know what's out there so it's kind of hard to be specific. What about you Penny? How's your training going? I enjoy learning all the medical knowledge and you know it's gonna be useful in the future but I just don't know if I'm cut out for it. I sure am. It makes me feel so good to know I can help. Doesn't it make you nervous to have someone else's life

in your hands? It does but without my, they'd be worse off for sure. I better go. Bennett will be pissed if I'm late. Enjoy the rain, baby! Thanks. Hi, Sergeant. Nice to see you inside. We're not staying in. I have a bag hung for you out back. This is perfect. You're going to see a lot of rain in Colorado and you have to know how to fight in it. Yes, sir.

Besides, if it ain't raining, you ain't training. It's my favorite it. Yes sir. Besides, if it ain't raining, you ain't training. It's my favorite saying. Come on. Now, when you're fighting in the rain and you go to throw a punch, I want you vertical, like when you throw a hook. Yes sir. Now show me how it's done. Recruit more. I told you I wanted you to use a vertical punch. I'm trying sir. Well, you're not trying hard enough.

Recruit. I gave you an order and you're going to follow it. It's too slippery sir! Let me show you. Oh crap! The bag just... I told you not to use that punch and you completely disregarded my order. No sir I just...

I was so pissed I... You were so pissed you didn't follow my order. You can't let your emotions cloud your judgments. You have to follow orders. What's a big deal anyway, Sergeant? I knocked the shit out of it, didn't I? The big deal is you are still questioning. Well, maybe orders aren't meant to be followed.

They're stupid, sir. Erika, orders are all we have anymore. Orders are what is keeping our country together. Orders are stopping chaos from reigning in every part of the world. Stupid, sir! Erica, orders are all we have anymore. Orders are what is keeping our country together. Orders are stopping chaos from reigning in every part of our country. Do you think orders are easy to follow? No they are not. Do you think it was easy to maintain order after what we all saw?

No it was not. It was the orders that brought us back to a civil state. It was orders that gave us the strength to squash many a rebellion. And it was orders that made me put you in that box. What did you say? It was you? You son of a bitch! Yeah, it was me. And do you think that was an easy order to follow? No, it wasn't. If I was in your shoes, I would have done the same thing, but I wasn't. I had orders to follow. Orders that couldn't for a moment be questioned,

where the whole fabric of our society breaks down, people get hurt, and anarchy returns. This system may not be ideal, but it is working. People are eating again and even feel safe. I tried then to make you understand, to calm your rage so that you could exist, and now here we go again. I'm telling you Erica, you have a chance at a new life, a fresh start, but you have to follow the orders and you have to do it precisely for the sake of yourself, your family, and our community. I can do that. Can you? I can, sir.

And it seems like you've been holding on for the chance to feel anything at all. I know. I got it. Mr. Lee, what a surprise. It's nice to see you. It's nice to see you as well, Theresa. Could you give TJ and I a few minutes? Sure. I was on my way to bed anyhow. Thank you. Not a problem, Mr. Lee. You gentlemen take care. What are you working on? Still trying to track down that rat down south.

Dixon? That's the one. Every time I get close, poof, he's gone. Then he pops up again. The strange part is... Oh, forget it. What do you want to talk to me about? No, continue. The strange part is...

My leads are good. The information is solid. He should be where the intel says he is, but he pops back up too soon. It takes a certain amount of time to get from point A to point B. Maybe he has a helicopter. They still have oil down there. Maybe, but I haven't got my intel on that. Are you going to just sit there? Or are you going to offer me a drink, son?

Oh, sorry. I forgot you sent Teresa to bed. You want a beer? No. Pour me a glass from your reserves. Yes, Mr. Lee. That was some stunt you pulled out there today. Was it today hard enough without worrying about my black shirts? You mean the infertilization procedures? We got enough rugrats running around here as it is and you saved half your teenagers

on that bus you kept running from town to town. Is that what all this is about? No TJ, that's not what this is all about. Then what Mr. Lee? What did I do now? Sit down, you know I hate your fidgeting. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You turned Nate's punishment into a graduation ritual. It was supposed to set an example. It did set an example. I'm their god Mr. Lee. They're mine. Why shouldn't they wear my mark?

That's fine, but you showed Nate nothing. I already accomplished this humiliation in the field. I guess we both know who bore the pain of Nate's failure. Nothing came of it. This thing with Nate is done. Are we finished here? Because I'm supposed to meet Yuri. Yeah, we're done. You go do your thing, but I want to see you in the gym bright and early. Whatever you want, Mr. Lee. Don't you forget that.

You know where my loyalties are. I know, son. I know. It wasn't a moment It was a feeling of moving back I've had nothing like it since And oh, where did it, where did it go? And oh, where did it, where did it go? TJ, what are you doing here? I need to get out here and do something. I'm going crazy.

You want to go to the pit and watch the fights? I hear Hernandez and Rigby are rematching tonight. Just like the good old days? Yeah, let's do it. Ladies, put your clothes on. We are going out. Alright. Who's your friend, Yuri? He's not my friend.

He's my brother. His name is TJ. TJ Swenson? It must be my lucky night. What's a girl got to do to become yours, TJ? For some reason, most of my women don't last that long. You better back off, honey. He's a rough lover.

Oh. I don't know. It's been so long since I had a real one. Come on. We can talk about it at the feet. Let's go. Let me grab some beers for the walkover. That's a great start to winning my heart, darling. See? I told you I could do it. Rigby's gonna stay the champion. He's the strongest fighter of all the Blackshirts. Do you think so?

Not all Blackshirts fight in the pit, Jameel. I don't know. I think Rigby may be able to rival you, TJ. I think you may have a sharp learning curve tonight. Would you ever get in the pit, TJ? Please, honey. Don't encourage him. We want to have fighters to guard the towns. The ladies in the camp said you got in there with one

of your top fighters one night. They said it was spectacular. But Rigby may be better. Drink your beer and shut your mouth. If he likes you, you will have a much better experience later. Do you hear me? Yes, Yuri. Just do as he says and only speak if he speaks to you.

Let's go. It sounds like a fight already started. Relax. It's just the pre-fights. Where are you going, DJ? Let's go to your box. Let's blend in tonight. My box is too high above everything. I want to smell the blood. Okay, brother. I'll find us some seats down front. I agree with you, TJ. I would rather sit in the crowd and enjoy the party. Exactly. Why don't you send your friend to get more drinks? I'll be right back. TJ, over here.

Perfect spot, Yuri. Here you go, a vodka for Yuri. But I thought you were more of a whiskey guy, TJ. More brownie points. It's nice to meet a woman with a head on her shoulders. Thank you. Come here. Sweet too.

You'll definitely do for tonight. You won't be disappointed. Maybe you'll consider keeping me around. Don't count on it. Oh, did you see that hit, TJ? That straight from Lee's book. He trains them well. You want another drink, TJ? No. Sit here with me. Nice hit. Who's that kid?

His name is Diaz. That's Diaz? He's growing up. It happens. Did you get him on the bus? I did. Good job. And the winner is David the Dragon Diaz! And the winner is David the Dragon Diaz! Now normally I would announce our main event.

However, Rigby has fallen ill and he's a no-show. What? Don't they have someone else? So I ask you out there in the crowd, who has the guts to face our runner up? Jared the hammer, back dead in the pit. I'll face him! DJ, you know it. Shut your mouth, Fury. Yes, DJ. There we go, we have a volunteer. Step on up, sir. Oh my goodness, TJ Swenson? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, we have an honor of being in the presence of our leader, TJ Swenson. Do you like morale patches? Morale patches that are prepper related?

You may be helping to save a life I thought you said we weren't doing anything together and now here we are

How come you brought me so I can keep an eye on you I remember what happened last time you and chapter were alone without supervision. You don't have to worry about that I'm just kidding. We don't have to worry about that. I'm just kidding. We need to talk to someone. Who? Cassidy? No, he's a merc. You saw him while you were cleaning cars that first weekend.

His name is Gunnery Sergeant Ben Nicholton. Good guy. Very. I want you to meet him officially. Okay. Why are we meeting him at the homesteads? It's a quiet place. You'll like it.

Here we are. It looks like a hippie commune. How do you think people are surviving without government handouts? I didn't know people were. Mike Jafones, sir, I wasn't expecting you here today. That's because I wasn't here today. Look around, Johnny. Life goes on. People survive. They grow their food, make their own medicine, take care of one another.

Look at the kids playing. They look so happy. That's because they are. The world is quieting down. There's another way to live, but that means some people will lose their power. People with power over others don't often give it up. Major Verges, sir, right this way, right this way. Johnny, you're with me. Yes, sir. In here, sir! Major Verge, sir. How good to see you.

Gunnery Sergeant Nicholton, it's good to see you as well. Let me officially introduce you to Private Johnny McClintock. Looks like Major Verge has got your head back on straight. Yes, sir. I made an error in judgment and deserved every bit of what I got. I can respect that. None of us are perfect. It's nice to officially meet you private. What did you find out? The woman, Erica. She's on the team. Did Alex pass along the schedule?

They're training to perform a salvage mission in Hopetown, Colorado. That doesn't leave me much time to get to Reno and back. It is what it is. I couldn't tell you on the radio. I know. Get this, Bennett is training her squad. Really? Yeah.

Ferns and Tweed agreed that if he could re-educate her in the box, he could train her to do this job. Then he would know her story. He may know her story, but this mission is a go. We need a merc team to send with the rescue squads and and the federal skeleton crew. Do you want it or not? This is your chance to meet her and judge for yourself. Her story will not be enough to convince the people. She's going to have to be more. You're right Ben, I have to meet her. Sign up my team. Consider it done. Get your people in order. I have to go or

Merkley will start to question where I've been. Thanks Ben, I appreciate it. I'm with you. Till the end, brother. Come on, Johnny. Major Burgess, a moment of your time if you please, sir. Miss Cassidy Baker, I wasn't expecting to see you here. That's funny because I wasn't expecting to see you here either. Johnny, wait out here.

What are you working on Major? Why all the secrecy? We're going with your dad's plan. We're going to fight them with counsels and public opinion. To do that we need a face for the movement. Whose face? I may have found the perfect person, but I have to know for myself. We're going on a salvage mission to Hope Town. What? My dad's base of operations is there. Are you serious?

He must have known the town has been scheduled for evacuation. How much defense will be there? You're worried about the lives of your men? What about my father, Verges? You have to warn him. He has a weak. Your face of the resistance? A person on the salvage team? Working with the feds? You sure that's the best choice? She's a weak. Your face of the resistance? A person on the salvage team?

Working with the feds? You sure that's the best choice? She's a refugee. She? Don't be jealous. Yeah, you wish I was. There's no time to lose, Virgis. Seems like we both have work to do.

Story of our lives. I'm going to the beach to get some fresh air. I'm going to the beach to get some fresh air. I'm going to the beach to get some fresh air. I'm going to the beach to get some fresh air. I'm going to the beach to get some fresh air. I'm going to the beach to get some fresh air. I'm going to the beach to get some fresh air. At least not for me. I'm still your name, so... Good morning, baby.

Oh yeah, chains. Good morning, sleepyhead. Did you know they were going to put us in chains? I had no idea. Bennett and I really saw eye to eye after that rainstorm. I was even having fun with him. Doesn't really matter anyway, does it? We're out. It's so beautiful out there. Talk about a change in scenery. Where are we now? We're just about to Colorado, I think. I overheard Sergeant Walker talking to Sergeant Ponover.

She's nice. I think she has a thing for Terrence, too. She keeps that rifle awfully close It'll be okay Erica. This feels Different it does I've never banged through Colorado before I think I had a layover in Denver once I know I did and I've driven through here on a trip with my parents. But I was so little then. Hey, what are you looking at out there? Are you thinking about your mom and dad?

I don't want to talk about it now, Erica. I want to know what's out there. Not much. From what I can see in the headlights, it's still dry and dusty. I wonder what happened to the roads. It's hard to believe they could deteriorate so fast. But there are rivers out there. They're full and they're running.

It's raining a lot somewhere. Every now and then I can see the light of a small farm. See? Like that one. Way out there. Oh yeah, I see it. Did you sleep at all? Yeah, I dozed here and there.

No, you didn't. You sat there and stared out that window all night, didn't you? You're right, I did. I'm just so excited. Look at that, Vince. Dang, that farm is huge! And you can smell the moisture in the air.

And look at that town, Erica. It's like a jewel shining in the mountain. A new town? Nope. Look at the sign. It's called New Dumb. It's beautiful. Hey guys, we made it to Colorado! Okay guys, from here we head north into the mountains. The Rockies have become unstable in the past few months, so we're going to feel some shaking. Their height is increasing and it's causing unpredictable flooding, fissures, and landslides.

Recruit more, you know the rest of the details. The town before the lake collapses down the mountainside. The soldiers will take care of the threats. Rescue Squad A will assist the people and we're after supplies. You all know your role as a team. You're the ones who will be in charge of the rescue squad. You're the ones who will be in charge of the rescue squad. You're the ones who will be in charge of the rescue squad. The soldiers will take care of threats. Rescue Squad A will assist the people and we're after supplies. You all know your roles, so stay focused.

There's the city. There's already soldiers in there. Who are they? Contract workers. We call them mercs. So we'll stop burning minds As long as I'm here I'll hold on And nothing more will shall be over This never over Until it's gone Until it's gone Until it's gone Yeah

Until it's gone, baby Disaster coffee is feeling disaster relief in America. Our coffee is roasted to order and shipped to your front door. You cannot get it any fresher. Visit DisasterCoffee.com and caffeinate with a purpose. That's DisasterCoffee.com. Ha ha! That was epic, brother! None of your Fidels will ever forget why you were in charge here. I thought Hernandez would have a chance, but he never did. Did he?

No, woman. He didn't. His technique was flawed, and his weakness obvious. He may never walk again. Do you think that was necessary? Maybe not, but it sure was fun. You're so powerful. I thought it was a spectacular fight. I told you, DJ was the best. Why would you do that to your fighter? Do I detect a hint of disapproval? A good fighter knows how to use control.

I did use control. I knew exactly what ligaments I was destroying. You have to set the tone, girly, or they'll walk all over you. Why don't we go to my place for drinks? We're going to your house? Of course. We're not going to sit in Yuri's hobble. My place is nice.

I have great hospitality. But I have better liquor. I can't argue that. Oh my goodness, TJ, your hands are bleeding. It's nothing. Just old wounds I opened up during the fight. Yuri can re-wrap them later. Come on in. TJ Swenson's house. This is great.

This is nice. I'm a simple man. I guess so. Yuri, go grab us some drinks. I'm getting that bottle of vodka. I've had my eye on it. Go for it. Have a seat, Chamille.

You come sit with me. I've been hearing about these free towns in Colorado. Henderson has been sending crews to gather supplies. Really? Maybe it's time we send out our crew for some goodies. We could use some more seed stock. That's for sure. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to gather some refugees. I don't have to pay Tram for it.

Let's set it up then. You know how I love to beat the streets. It's been so boring around here. I don't want to talk about the compound. How'd you end up here, TJ? I walked. No, really, how did you end up in Lee's Summit? I walked.

It's true, Jamil. We walked here. From where? St. Louis. You're so strong. You're amazing. I do what I do, woman. And you do so many good things. Like those kids you saved from the orphanage. And all those teenagers you hid from the federal soldiers.

Are you surprised? It's just all the refugees you traffic and the Laudner girls. We gotta pay the bills one way or another where you think the peace in my communities come from? Someone has to pay for it. Where do you think the clothes on your back came from? And right now all I can think of is getting them all off of you. Come on, it's time to go. Nice fight tonight, brother.

It felt good to be back in the ring. Are you coming? No, I'm gonna stay. I think TJ could use a company. I would let you go if you wanted to. You're so charming. See ya in the morning. you wanted to. You said timing. See ya in the morning. Aren't you gonna give me like a tour? There's not much to it. You wanna be my girl?

Yes TJ. Then come here. Where are we going? You'll see. Turn around and face the wall. Okay. TJ, that was a good shirt. I would have taken it off for you shhh quiet if you want to be one of my girls you have to meet my favorite girl her name

It's your call Any sign of Cassidy or her father they must have packed up and left already thank goodness What about this refugee woman that you're looking for Monroe? What have you seen their crews are clearing those buildings over there? Looks like they're focused on the building with the materials, but I can't tell which one is her in this ring They will stop for the night after the town is clear. We'll camp with them for now Let's focus on getting the supplies we need and getting these people loaded, whether the feds like it or not. Let's clear this whole room. Look at the wonderful materials, Erica. It's great, mom.

Hey, Greg, check this out. Check what out? I found a trap door under these bolts of fabric, sir. Let me look at it. Don't you think we ought to tell someone about this, sir? Recruit more, I am more than capable of handling whatever is down there. Don't touch that rifle, boy. Foster, look out! Nobody else move or you're dead! Way to go, quick drama,

Recruit Moore feared for Private Foster's life and dispatched the man with Private Foster's sidearm, sir.
