Starting point is 00:00:00 I remember a time before the Great Quake. Before the climate refugees called FEMA Camp's home. Before the labor laws and infertilization program. They called her the lone survivor. They called her the lone survivor. survivor the savior of the refugees but I called her mom this is life on the changing earth Wow. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:01:01 I guess the birds had a hand in this, because there sure are a lot of them. This is unbelievable. Look at all the trees and the grass. It's a floating jungle. Is anyone else here? Not that we've found so far But this place is huge
Starting point is 00:01:20 And any of the doors we have found They've been locked from the inside I don't think we should stay here too long My not mom, it's like paradise I just don't know It feels wrong And how long do you think it will take that helicopter To find it? How far have we floated
Starting point is 00:01:40 From the shoreline? I can't even see it anymore Slow down Erica there's nothing we can do about it now there's food and water here even vending machines who knows what else we can find I need some time to repair the boat if we want to make it back to the coastline
Starting point is 00:01:59 plus we really need to recuperate I know you hate the ocean but I don't see what choice we have right now she's right about the helicopter though dad is that a Snickers I didn't think I'd ever see one again. Yep, I told you, vending machines.
Starting point is 00:02:21 They're still full. Here you go. That's a little grayer than I remember. That's because it's like 10 years old, babe. Is it still good? It's good. Hmm. A little crunch.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Shear, but so freaking yummy. If the helicopter comes by, we'll deal with that then. But right now, we have no choice. We need food and a couple days to get ourselves and our boat back together. Look at Daniel, for God's sakes. Dad's right. Trust me. I'm the last one that wants to spend any time out here.
Starting point is 00:03:10 But, dad's right. Let's focus on the basics. first. I'll pitch camp. I already have a great place picked. I'll get wood. Where do you have picked out, Dex? The gun turrets still stick out. We can put a tarp over one and fall on. Camp. Let's just use that little cupboard area by the locked door we found. It will be easier to set up and there's more room to spread out. Come on, Dad. They're not that high. I'll get it What if there's someone down there and they come out the door? No one is down there, Dex.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Would vending machines still be full if anyone was on the ship? I don't think so. Fine. I'll help you with Daniel. What about the control room, Dad? That door was locked too. I bet we could break one of those windows and get in there. I don't know, Dex. This is a battle.
Starting point is 00:04:10 This is a battleship. I bet that's some thick glass. And we're going to lose our light soon. Let's just set up for tonight, and we can always check it out in the morning. Okay. We are in this together, so give help to someone we need. We can live for each other. They're strength, and I love to believe.
Starting point is 00:04:40 We will make this land better. We'll make it for you and for me. You're losing daylight, Ryan. The parts for the truck have been secured, along with reinforcements. Good, put them to use. It's a hunt, sir. She's a creature of habit, just like all the other bounties. I know she's headed north, and I'm betting she's going back to her old stomping grounds.
Starting point is 00:05:16 There's a small base in South Lake Tahoe. They have an airport. It would make good headquarters for your operation. Yes, sir. They're betting on you down at the pit. What do my odds look like, sir? Not good. Looks like you're going to make a lot of money when I bring her in then.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Let me know when you hear something. We'll do, sir. T.J., Susan asked to see you, sir. About what? I'm not sure, but she said it was urgent. Is Teresa okay? I don't know, sir. What do you know, Anthony?
Starting point is 00:05:54 Susan asked me to come get you, T.J. I'm sorry, I didn't find out more. You are not a grunt, Anthony. Get the information and give it to me. Yes, sir. Come on. Let's go find out what she wants. far too seldom do I get the chance to even put a smile on my face I'm not one for strength more and more I find myself growing passively entertained
Starting point is 00:06:34 with the end of all this pain I wonder how this ship broke its moorings. And what happened to Hawaii? How is he? Not good. He wakes up less and less. I don't understand. Dexter and Star are rebounding.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Well, good. Hey, buddy. How are you feeling? Okay. Here, have some water. Drink it slowly, baby. I'm so tired. I know, baby. You just rest.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Slowing down, I can't move. Battle my feet to get through. Can't let go. I'm holding on it. It's all I ever. I don't know what to do, Vince. I don't know either, baby. We have to get to that medicine lady.
Starting point is 00:07:49 The boat. We're never going to make it in that thing. Storm destroyed it. Yes, we will. I'm almost done with the repairs, and then we'll just have to go for it. I don't know how much longer Daniel can hold on. Don't say that, Vince.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Don't even say that. He's going to make it. He has to. He's my baby. I know he's gonna make it. He's strong. Dad! Dad, come quick.
Starting point is 00:08:17 What's up, Dexter? I think there's a boat approaching. Come on, Dad. I'll go check it out. What do you see through those binoculars, Star? Look! What am I supposed to be looking at? See that spot out there?
Starting point is 00:08:34 Looks like a boat headed this way. Oh, crap. You're right. It is a pretty big boat, too. It's definitely heading this way. Good eye, Star. Dexter's the one who saw it first. Well, then. Great job, Dex.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Now, we have to figure out what to do about it. It's obvious they have already seen this ship. Star, stay here, keep out of sight, but keep an eye on them. Dex, come with me to get Mom and our guns. Okay, Dad. Hi, this is Sarah F. Hathaway, the creator of the Changing Earth series and the voice of Erica Moore.

Starting point is 00:10:51 The leadership in the badlands is going to change Johnny What are you talking about, sir? Sergeant Avery, you are not to repeat this conversation, ever. Yes, sir. I've dug some holes I can't climb out of, Johnny. I understand, sir. When I find Erica, I'm taking her back to the northern region and you're staying here.
Starting point is 00:11:10 What? Why wouldn't you want me to go with you? Don't question my orders, Johnny. Yes, sir. Every, look out. Holy shit. That guy's an RPG. Johnny, Avery, are you okay?
Starting point is 00:11:45 I'm good, sir. Do you have your pistol? Yes, sir. Kill them all, or they will kill you. Yes, sir. Stay alert, boys. They might have... They're alive?
Starting point is 00:12:05 Johnny, behind you. Thank you, Burgess. We need to get Avery out of here right now. Avery, can you hear me? Yes, sir. Are you hurt? My arm is busted, sir. Hang tight. We're going to get you out of here.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I'll get the pry bar. Do it quickly. That's it, Johnny. And we got you. I'm going to strap your arm to your body for now. When we get someplace safe, we can splen it. Did you? Sir, how nice to see you. It's been a while. That means people have been doing their jobs.
Starting point is 00:12:52 So, then why are you here, sir? I'm asking myself the same question. Where's Susan? In her office, sir. Thanks. What are you doing sending Anthony for me with no information? No information? T.J.A. Is Trees okay?
Starting point is 00:13:11 Yes, T.J. Then what is going on? The Chattanooga city sector has been constantly missing their quotas. Cut their rations. We did that. They're getting help from somewhere. The Texas militia? We think so, T.J. If they can sway the people, they may try to take the city.
Starting point is 00:13:27 This is not what I need right now. I know, T.J. That's why I wanted to tell you myself. Technically, it's my responsibility to make sure the quotas are met, but I've done everything in my power. power. But not within my power. Thank you, Susan. Hello! Should we answer? No. We have to do something.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Wait for my signal. Oh shit. It's a grappler. It hooked. We'll wait for someone to get on the line. Someone's on it. Wait. Three, two, one. Hold it right there.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Let's not be hasty. Maybe you didn't notice the rifle on you. Yeah, let's not be hasty. Now slow down, lady. I've got my dot on your chest. No, it's on my chest. You better slow down. Everybody, hold on.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Hold on. Looks like this is a numbers game and you win. Plus, you caught me. How do you say, with my pants down? We're all friends here. What do you want here? We are merchants. I've never seen this boat here before. We just came to see where it came from.
Starting point is 00:15:21 And what, you could salvage from it? Of course. That's the name of the game, right? We tried to say hello, and when no one answered, we assume no one was here. You assumed wrong. Dex, let me handle this. So what do you want to do here? I can't hold this rope forever.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I can either climb down and we will drive away or I can come up so we can discuss a trade. I don't know what you have to offer that we need. Dex, that's enough. Let your dad handle this. How about a ride? Did he say a ride? What should we do?
Starting point is 00:15:56 Do you need a ride? Maybe we should just kill them and take their boat. What's stopping us from killing all you and taking your boat? Mommy, can you see the big boat now? Vince, no. You see there? I'm a family man, a trader, not a threat. What about your man there? The one with the gun on me? He looks to be a fighter.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Don? Don is harmless. Well, actually, he is not. But he is with me. Don, put your gun down. You too, Tony. Vince, maybe we should at least listen. Come on up, then. Let's talk. I thought we weren't supposed to trust anyone. Just relax. Think you can help me with the rope?
Starting point is 00:16:38 My arms are killing me. That, star, pull him up. Hello, sir. I'll let your boy hold my firearms, so you know I mean no ill will. Wow, this is really something. It's a jungle up here. Nice to meet you as well, young lady.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Always nice to meet a friendly face. Not too many of them left nowadays, are there? No, sir, there is. Okay. So now what? How about telling me your name, sir? We can start there. I, um...
Starting point is 00:17:11 My name is Vlad. My fine bride down there is Tony. My name is Erika. And this is my husband, Vince. These are our kids, Star, and Dexter. And you guys are wanted by the government. How did you know? I didn't. You just told me.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I've met a lot of people in my years on this coastline, and anyone that hesitates to tell you their name usually has a reason for it. More times than not, the government More times than not, the government is to blame. Am I right, friend? You're right. What happened? Let me guess.
Starting point is 00:17:40 You took too many rations. Picked up a gun. Wind against the landowner. We escaped from Vegas. You escape the camp? This is truly an odd day. No wonder you folks are out on this ship. How long were you in?
Starting point is 00:17:53 Ten years. That's all the way back to the Great Quake. We're from California. We help build that damn camp. This is a first for me. So now, what do you plan on do? You're going to try to take us in for the big reward? No, no, no, friend.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Never have been a big support of overbearing rulers. I was a simple fisherman like my father and his father, but all this garbage in the water is spoiled the fish. I get by trading with the coastal refugees that have rebuilt little communities. I float peacefully with my family so I can avoid all of the mainland turmoil. What about the U.S. and Russian navies?
Starting point is 00:18:28 Don't you have to answer to them? Most of the U.S. ships were taken up to the Mississippi Sea to maintain order with the states. They do have a couple ships patrolling the Pacific. They are mostly up north staring at Russian ships. Mom, we should go check on Daniel. There's something I'm missing. What is the problem?
Starting point is 00:18:46 Our youngest son is very sick, and we don't know why. My wife has been studying medicinals with this woman in Reno. Did you say the medicine woman in Reno? Yes, you've heard of her? Yes, we have. That's where we're headed. I can bring up my wife.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Is that okay? Yes. Burgess In here No, Johnny, the record should be too obvious We need to find a place in the woods We can watch the road There's a cove up ahead
Starting point is 00:19:52 With hidden cliff up on a ridge It's perfect, big pines to hide us Let's go This is a good spot for Avery over here, sir. Thanks, Johnny. Get me the same splint. We have to get his arm back together. Oh, holy fuck, that hurts.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Oh, my heart. Oh, I can't move it. Give me another splint, Johnny, and all the ace advantages we have. Another splint? It's broken in two places. Oh, don't touch it. Oh, it hurts. That hurts.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Don't. Oh, not too tight. Grab me that extra t-shirt as well. What are you going to do with it? I can use it to make a sling. That's right. Put your head through the head hole. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Your arm through the bottom of the arm. Okay, how's that? Oh, it still hurts like crazy, but it's better. You just chill. What do you see out there, Johnny? I don't see anyone out of the road. We can't risk going back out there. What are we going to do?
Starting point is 00:21:04 The nearest outpost is hundreds of miles away, and all we have are our personal emergency kids. Major, there's movement out there. Two vehicles on the road. They're going slow, and there's a group of five fighters walking along the road. Are they wearing militia markers? No, sir. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:21:20 They don't have black uniforms. Who do you think they are? I don't know. Let's stay hidden until nightfall. We can move in nightfish, and hopefully they can. Hi. 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 conversation
Starting point is 00:21:58 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. I can't say if I tried enough I can't tell if I want too much I was there when you need it
Starting point is 00:22:43 with me I need you to fix me Danny, how you doing? Hi, baby. This is Tony. She came to health. Okay. Is he always this sweaty and clammy? Since we got here a couple of days ago. He doesn't have a fever. His blood pressure is a little high, but not dangerously. Has he had any past medical problems?
Starting point is 00:23:20 No. He's always been totally healthy. You didn't eat any fish, did you? God, no. I didn't even see any except dead ones by the. the shore. You'd be surprised. The starving idiots sometimes eat anything. Makes them very sick. I bet. We were eating our leather at one point, but I'd still eat that over those nasty fish. I'm going to make him a tummy soothing tea for him to drink. He's been drinking and eating, right? Yeah, a little when he's awake. I've had to mush up the big chunks smaller and smaller. And he's been going to the bathroom? Yeah, but not very much, though. But not very much,
Starting point is 00:23:58 We were really dehydrated, and we thought he would come around like we all did, but he didn't. Don't worry, Mama. We'll figure it out. Yeah, yeah. Hit it. Ready? Nice hair. Mom, Dexter taught me to play baseball with a mango. Except he hit it so hard, it exploded all over the place. Come on, Dexter.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Those goofballs. Why don't you go be a goofball too? Really, Mom? Yeah, there's nothing you can do here. We'll start dinner in a little while. I love you, Mom. You too, little bro. Do you have any water?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Here. Bottled water? My husband would die for this. He would be the talk of the trading circle. We found it here. I'm sure Vlad can have some. We can only carry so much once we get off this ship. what's in that tea
Starting point is 00:24:59 it's a mixture of filled mint pineapple weed and wild ginger pineapple weed isn't that wild chamomile? Yeah it is I'm impressed I used to study a little bit about it before the quake I learned a little more from a woman I knew in Vegas I was 16 living in Seattle
Starting point is 00:25:18 when the quake hit I was sucked out to sea clinging to debris I floated for days but then Vlad arrived and pulled me out of the water The little one is hungry I didn't know you had two sons This is baby George How about you, mom? You ready for some dinner?
Starting point is 00:25:38 You can call me a lot of things But don't call me late for dinner Come on, miss late for dinner Found some new friends That we met while we were there And now we left around The fire that we share DJ, I have been looking everywhere for you.
Starting point is 00:26:14 I've been here all afternoon. I came to tell you some wonderful news. What's that, Yuri? Trent has installed the chain system for the pit. It is time for Malik to face his fate. It is going to be awesome. That's good. DJ, the man tried to kill you and take over your operation.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Would you not love to watch him die? He's already broken anyhow. Didn't have much backbone after all. What is wrong with you, DJ? It will be epic party. Because of bounty. For Henderson? Yes, and now Chattanooga's production is slipping, and they may be trading with the Texas
Starting point is 00:27:00 militia. What? And you are here? Hitting a bag? Let's go and beat them until they remember who they belong to. I have to stay to direct the tracking teams. Isn't Mr. Lee here? Come on, we can go beat the streets and work out all your frustrations.
Starting point is 00:27:23 That does sound like a good idea, and someone's going to have to do it. Someone is going to have to do what? Sergei, Chattanooga is underproducing and possibly trading with Texas. We have to go down there. It's probably all partying, they do, with the horse coming through town. Regardless, their production numbers are down, and they grow fat while their rations are cut. T.J., you cannot go to. there now. What about the tracking teams?
Starting point is 00:27:57 Sergei, you don't tell me my business. This will be just like you. Right when there is work to be done, you and Yuri decide it's time to party. Sergei, you better shut your mouth before I shut it for you. No, T.J. I am tired of working all the time while you two flutter about. Nobody said you can't come with us. You chose to be the trainer. No, you and him put me in this position. When you refuse to do it. You want to keep talking?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Come on, DJ. Just freaking try it. What in the hell is going on out here? Sir? Oh, DJ. In my office now. Now! Damn it, T.J. Are you going to make me say it?
Starting point is 00:29:00 Mr. Lee, this freaking... Sit down. Explain to me what's going on. Sergei doesn't want to train the grunts anymore. That is not true. That's what you just said. I said there are two important hunts going on right now, and you couldn't leave. Oh, really? And where are you going, T.J.?
Starting point is 00:29:22 South Mr. Lee. Susan has tried everything to get Chattanooga's numbers on track, and despite the limited rations, they survive. I thought we had that locked down. How are they getting food? She's worried it's from the militias. Oh, and you want to go down there to straighten things out, huh? Yes, sir. You know, come to think of it, that's not a bad idea. You could pick up some more quality fighters for the big event with Malik.
Starting point is 00:29:50 But, sir, he... Sir? Sirge, stop. You are going to go with him to protect him. Sir, I... Sirge? Yes, sir, Mr. Lee. Now, both y'all get out of my office and stop acting like children.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yes, sir. Just great, TJ. Now, I have to go traipsing around the countryside with you and my idiot. brother. I thought you wanted to get out more. I will go back my things. Are we going? We're going. Mr. Lee liked the idea and said we should bring home some meat for the pit. That's a great idea. He always comes up with the best ideas. Well, then you should love this one. Oh, DJ. Sergei is coming with us. What? He is like giant rock in mud.
Starting point is 00:30:48 A stick in the mud. Exactly. Be ready to go. in the morning. Sounds like you had a restless night. He was in a lot of pain. We need to get him to Dolores and Reno as soon as we can. That's where we were headed before the storm. Do you think she would turn us in? No, she is a sympathizer.
Starting point is 00:31:17 She will help you, and she has the equipment to do so. If it were my son, that's where I would be headed. Shh. The fog is too thick for them to see us. We must not be too far out to sea. Eventually they'll find the ship. And we do not want to be here when they do. But that moment is not now.
Starting point is 00:31:47 And I have a surprise for you. What? Come on. we'll be ready Oh my heavenly father above is that Bacon I smell Surprise Oh how I love you
Starting point is 00:32:08 I thought you would like that Good morning babe We heard a chopper out there They're still looking Still? After breakfast it is time to go Vlad I want to stay It is so wonderful here.
Starting point is 00:32:23 It won't be once the soldiers find it. She is right, Boris. The morning fog will lift, and it is too great a risk staying here. We will give you a ride to the closest walk to Dolores's. Thanks, Blad. We'll help you load whatever you want from the ship. We just need supplies to make it to Dolores. And a little something to trade for her services, friend.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Of course. She is fair lady. It will not be much. Let's get to it. The sooner we get the boat loaded, the sooner we can get Daniel help. Hey fellow patriots bravo echo here are you paying attention to what is happening in our great nation are you prepared if not come see us at hopefor survival.com that's hope for survival.com be safe and be blessed
Starting point is 00:33:39 I can't major I'm sorry I can't go any further we haven't seen them in a day it will be easier for him to walk out at the road no I have to rest you can leave me but I really have to rest you need that arm set by somebody who knows what they're doing
Starting point is 00:34:05 sir there's a little cabin back in the woods over there Want me to check it out? Okay, look for any signs of recent use. Yes, sir. Don't worry, Avery. We'll figure something out. Looks great, sir. Lots of cobwebs and mouse poop.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Perfect. Don't go in there. We don't want any trouble, mister, but I will shoot you if I have to. Huh. There's a lot of people tracking you. Are you sure you want to risk discharging a weapon? That's the only thing keeping you alive right now. Why do you think I'm here now?
Starting point is 00:34:42 I don't know. Why are you here? Your friend is hurt. He is. You're mercenary soldiers, but your reputation precede you, Major Burgess. And you are? I'm the man who's going to help your friends and feed you dinner. Sounds like the best offer we've had in a while. Follow me.
Starting point is 00:34:59 When I started a row, I had hit a wall. You live in a cave? Yep. Put your friend on the cot over there by the fire. There's food in that pot next to the fire and water over by the door. Thank you for your hospitality. How long your fellow's been out there? About four days now.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Don't. This was a good rap, but only a temporary fix. I think you're going to want to drink some of this whiskey before we do what we got to do to that arm. Thanks. But could we skip that part? You want to be able to use your arm again? I wouldn't recommend it. Okay. Give me the whiskey.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Where are we? The middle of Utah. No one comes out here, and that's the way I want to keep it. You can rest for a couple of days, but then you need to go. We'll be gone long before them. We have a long journey ahead of us. What's your name, son? Sergeant Avery, sir.
Starting point is 00:36:00 You are going to earn your stripes on this mission, Sergeant Avery. This I needed a way, make the days, make sure I didn't waste what was there when I started it all. stacked end to end with his merchandise. Always better to have too much than not enough, Bear. Did you modify it with the sale? You bet I did. It's sturdy and efficient. Come check it out, Dexter. We even have a hot tub.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Stirty and efficient? I mean, when in Rome? Do as the Romans do. We kept the hot tub. I can't believe they built boats as beautiful as this. I'm just happy we found it. Come on. I'll show you your roots. We only have two available rooms So Vince and Erica you can take this one
Starting point is 00:37:12 And Dex and Star you can have this one Thank you, Tony You can get freshened up before dinner We'll be to the coast by morning These are much nicer accommodations Than on our boat Baby, are you okay? I can't do this anymore, Vince
Starting point is 00:37:30 I can't live this life I know it's hard right now Erica But what are we supposed to do? I know it sounds horrible, but sometimes I wish we would have never left the camp. If we hadn't left, then we'd be dead now. You know what Matthew was going to do. Can't have a blemish on his record. Do you think if we get caught, they'll kill Daniel? I think they would.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Daniel can't die now. He's the main reason we were leaving anyway. He can still carry the family lying. We were just lucky to get out when we did. I can't believe I let those jack-offs touch my children. It's not your fault, Vince. God knows we tried. Those fucking bastards. Who are they to decide whose family is worthy of life and whose is it? I can't believe it either.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Who would vote for that? Just think how Dexter and Star must feel. Having their bodies altered? To have the joy of holding your own baby. Maybe stripped away from you because of some bureaucratic asshole. If I could, I would kill all those fucking doctors myself. Come here, baby. We'll figure this out, Vince.
Starting point is 00:38:49 We always have before. We just have to keep going. We have to be strong for Daniel, Dex, and Star. So maybe there's not a lot to say. Maybe I'm wrong to do and feel like to. My way, yeah, but maybe things will be okay. If I get it together and do something clever, I'll make it better with you. How long will you be gone?
Starting point is 00:39:24 A couple of nights for sure. You can stay with Susan, or she can stay here, but I don't want you to stay alone. Please stop worrying about me. Not going to happen, woman, so stop suggesting such things. T.J., I... You're the closest thing I've ever had to a mother. Thank you. And I love you as a mother loves a son.
Starting point is 00:39:43 You have helped heal the pain of losing my family. So, then listen when I tell you. I don't want you here alone. Susan will take care of you. Yes, T.J. Because everything I try to hide, I know you'd seen it in my face. And all these lines...
Starting point is 00:40:06 against my skin I know they tell my story aloud I'll get it Hi Chuck Good evening Teresa I'm just finishing up dinner would you like some I would never say no to a chance to eat your cooking And who's this?
Starting point is 00:40:26 A gift for T.J. for the night Come on in and sit down Thanks What a beauty you brought me You want earn yourself? though? No. Just put her in the chains while we eat. What brings you by? You're at it south? I am. I have to do some cleanup. Here you boys go. Thank you, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:40:53 I have a favor to ask. You know I'll bring you back more women. We could use a refresh on the stock, but this favor is not for me. Now I'm curious. There's a guy, liberato he makes the finest vodka so Yuri wants to bring him home why doesn't he Liberto has ties to the militia they buried him deep how do you know he's still in my lands I don't but if you're looking for the militia infestation you may find him why didn't Yuri tell me this he doesn't want to bother you with the trivialities he knows you have a lot on your mind and you're just fine with adding to that list of course you can lead them all remember I'm starting to regret the day
Starting point is 00:41:32 I told you that. You said it, my friend. Enjoy my gift and have a safe journey. Thank you, Chuck. That was wonderful. As always. You have a nice night. You too.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Good night, T.J. See you in a few days. This stretcher should help us move him quicker. Are you sure the straps aren't too tight? We can't have him sliding off. What are you guys doing? We're going too. I thought you were staying.
Starting point is 00:42:24 It's too dangerous for you and your children to travel with us, Glad. It is dangerous, but... But we want to go trade with Dolores. We need more supplies and we got some things from that ship Dolores would really appreciate. We owe her that. Plus, I wouldn't want my comrades getting lost. We'll be fine. Dexter, enough. We've taken care of ourselves before we can do it again. I agree with Dex, although I don't think I would have put it quite that way. You guys don't have to do this. We are all able fighters and we can make it.
Starting point is 00:42:59 I believe it, my friend. That is another reason why it would be best. better for us to travel with you. Much safer. Awesome.
