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 survivor. called her the lone survivor, the savior of the refugees. But I called her mom. This is life on the changing earth. Ah, it's good to be home. Well, kind of home.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Oh, yeah. We are right by where we used to live, right, Dad? We sure are, buddy. I think I remember it. Kind of. I would rather not remember it at all. Nothing but pain for me here. I know, Star. It's over now. Is it? Growing up, I could have never imagined this. Why did it have to happen? I don't know, Star.
Starting point is 00:01:29 The Earth has changed before and it will again. We were arrogant to think that it wouldn't. But I still asked myself why. There are no answers. I will tell you, I'm glad to have you as a daughter. And that's the best thing that came out of all of this misery. Thank goodness for you, Erica. God only knows what would have happened to me without you.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Guys, we need to quiet down. Sometimes they have random patrols out here. We are not landowners either. We are just as vulnerable as you are out here. Understood. And all life keeps pushing, but you keep losing yourself before you find out where you are.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Did you find out who you are? Certainly looks like a happening place. We can definitely find some quality entertainment later. Yuri, keep your head in the game. This is why you are never allowed to come. Who's in charge here? Do you remember Zeb Reed? I do.
Starting point is 00:02:56 in charge here. Let's go talk with him. Sir, Zep was not expected you today, sir. No, boy, he wasn't. I'll get him for you. No, you'll take me to him. But, sir, he's at home. Do I look like the kind of man who likes to wait?
Starting point is 00:03:17 No, sir. Then take me to him. Yes, sir. Rylan, what are you? T.J., sir, I didn't know you were coming today. You invited me down here. I am sorry, sir. I don't understand. Why don't you invite me into your home, and we can talk about it?
Starting point is 00:03:40 Of course, yeah. Come in, sir. Sergei, do your thing. It is all clear, T.J. Please sit down. Would you like to have a drink? Without question. What's been going on down here, Zeb? We've been together for a lot of years. You never faltered up north.
Starting point is 00:04:06 The people here, they're hard to motivate. Remove their food. Two weeks of no food rations, and they'll change their mind. There's food coming from somewhere else. Where? I don't know, sir. If I find out you're lying, you'll become very well acquainted with pain. I'm telling the truth, sir.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Vodka I don't normally drink vodka Uri Yes, D.J? Drink this That's some damn fine vodka Wouldn't you agree? The finest around
Starting point is 00:04:40 I want a tour Yes sir Mark Now Yes sir Please follow me sir Damn, Mom! Are you trying to get yourself killed? Sometimes I think it might be easier.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Don't say stuff like that. Daniel needs you. And what about you? And I need you too. There's a time to live fast and a time to live slow there's good people out there, but none that I know. It's all about Daniel, though, isn't it, Mom? What? I heard you and dad on the boat.
Starting point is 00:05:32 He's the important one. He can still have kids. Dexter, I've never lied to you. And I'm not going to start now. See, it is all about him. I'm not going to hide the fact. We got him out in time. And he can still carry on the family line. That's important to us, but...
Starting point is 00:05:51 Why? Why couldn't you get me out in time, Mom? we tried baby believe me we tried we rebelled as hard as we could you know i did but what could we do they just put me in that box and did it anyway i know mom i'm sorry you know i love you look at you my big man getting all grown up mom i love daniel too i really do it's just I know you love him and your brothers. I understand it's hard not to resent him a little as well. Right now we just have to focus on keeping him alive and we'll worry about all this later.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Looks like there's a storm coming in. Sure does. Now the good Lord is standing me dead in the face and watch for my child but I forgot. Don't these guys? Don't these guys ever give up? They're persistent. Come on.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Where are we going? We have to check some traps, but there's something else I wanted to show you. Who are you? A survivor. Where'd you come from? The Badlands. That's a nice bat rabbit.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Here. Hold it. Why reset it? Thanks for helping us. I'm sure it's not easy feeding all of us. You can make yourself useful by checking that trap over there. We got another one. Careful when you reset it.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I don't need to treat any more wounds. I've got it. Follow me. Why would you help us? Shh. Look over there. Do you know him? I do.
Starting point is 00:07:49 His name is Dante Jefferson. He fights for the militia. He's been looking for you. But he avoids those other fighters as well. He could help get his home, or at least get a message to the mercenary army. You stay here. I'll get him. But he'll recognize... Those other fighters find you. They will kill you.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I'll bring him back. You're right on all accounts, and I have a lot to thank you for. On the way that's up game, I feel like going home now, now, now, now. Fills and turns to luck. Words I'm making it, it seems. This will be our biggest obstacle. This is where the mountain sheared. And Vince saved Big John Green.
Starting point is 00:08:38 The water is seeded quite a bit after the initial quake. But we have to cross that cable? It's the only way. Otherwise, we have to go around for miles. Don't the soldiers monitor it? They do, but not all the time. all the time. I'll go across and scout it.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Dexter. Think about it, dad. You and mom will have to get Daniel across. I'll go with him. They're not wrong, Vince. Okay. Go scout it. This is the trading center, though.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Sergei, did you see those two guys leave? Yes, D.J. Follow them. Everyone take a knee and prepare for inspection. Uri, give the order. Bletch shirts. ID chick. Zeb, where are your records kept?
Starting point is 00:09:42 We keep meticulous records of the stock that comes through from Mexico or the badlands. Make a copy of your last six months. Lauder will ensure they match his numbers. Is. Tiji, we can't verify the identities of this group of people. Do any of them have trackers? Those five on the right do. Load them up.
Starting point is 00:10:12 You two, come over here. Do you know who I am? Yes, sir. Who are you? We're land orders from the east. Just here looking to buy stock. How about you, honey? You in the mood, to be honest?
Starting point is 00:10:27 We're looking for our daughter. Some asshole took her here to sell her. I do love an honest woman. Have you found her? No, sir. Are you working with the militia? No. We were surviving just fine on our little homestead,
Starting point is 00:10:42 stayed out of everyone's way, and hoped they would stay out of ours. You're wrong. I'm going to believe you for now. You're going to stay in a cell until I can verify your story. Thank you, sir. Don't thank me yet. This is Sarah F. Hapaway, the creator of the Change in Earth series and the voice of Erica Moore.

They're really good at moving stealthily as a team. I'm going to go check it out. I should have gone to begin with.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Just wait, my friend. You have some smart kids there. They know what they are doing. There they are. You ready to do this, baby? Jump up on the line. I'll hook Daniel up. You pull.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'll push. Sounds like a plan. You're doing good, Mom. Keep coming. Guys are almost across. You're almost here, Mom. Watch your step. The rocks are slippery.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I'll help pull Daniel in. We made it. Here comes Tony and baby George. Is he letting Boris do it? It looks that way. Boris is on the line, tied to Vlad, but on his own. Damn it, I told him not to let him do it. Gunshot!
Starting point is 00:13:05 Hang on, Boris. Vlad, are you okay? Dad, there's a guy out on that ridge. Star, fire some shots at him now. We can't have him shooting anymore. Erica, Tony, take decks, set up a perimeter. Just in case there's more of them headed this way. What are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:13:25 I'm going after Vlad and Boris. Baby George can stay here with Daniel. Come on. You got to be able to make it, Vlad? Yes, yes. Just please get my boy out of here. See you at the top, buddy. Boris, stay here. Wait for your dad, okay? Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:02 You okay? I'm fine. Are the girls okay? Yeah, we took down two more over there. Think it's all clear? I don't know. There could be some sleepers out there. You stay here, keep an eye out. I'm going down to check on mom. Do you need another magazine?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Nope, I'm good. Did you get him? Yep. Did I make it? Yep. Stay here with Dex. Make sure to hold this line. I'm going to check on the girls.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Got it. How'd you guys do? Good, I think. We got two. I got three sneaking up behind you. What would I do without you? Well, today, you'd probably be dead. I love you.
Starting point is 00:14:51 I love you, too. Thanks, baby. How's Vlad and my boy? They're okay. They cross safely. Star thinks she got the shooter. Let's go find out. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Let's be smart about this. I'll take point. You two cover me. I got you. You are all. No, you're dead, whore. Well, that solves that. You remind me of my friend Greg.
Starting point is 00:15:25 He would have done that just the same way. Sounds like someone I could have gotten along with. Good job, ladies. We've got to move fast, though. Someone could have hurt all these shots. Let's strip their uniforms and throw their bodies in the ravine. I think it's worth the time? I think so.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Finding their soldiers will keep them busy for a while. How did you know where to find us, Jefferson? When you didn't check in as scheduled, Jessup got a hold of Nicholton. He checked at the homesteads, and Cassidy sent me out. Makes sense. She wanted to come herself, but it's going to be hard enough to get you home as it is. Someone's here. I was thinking the same thing.
Starting point is 00:16:19 They don't know you two are with me. I'll go see what happened. I can't leave Johnny. Stay frosty, Major. Welcome, Major. Put your rifle and sidearm down. Would you like to risk your young friend's life over it? How would the general feel if he lost his only son? Okay, I'm putting down my guns.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Good, now step away. Johnny, are you okay? Yes, sir. Avery, you good? As good as to be expected, sir. Mr. Broken is just fine. You could have saved yourself a lot of time and stayed at the crash site.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Where's your friend, Major? It's just the three of us. Oh, and you three just whipped together a cave home in a day. I don't think so. This is my home. Look at the big man. You found refuge with Sasquatch. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:17:36 You'll fetch good money. Miller, Arbor. Put those two able bodies in cuffs. Kramer? Kill broken boy. I got the man. Major. Major, look out.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I'm got you, Burgess. Oh, man. Come on. Major. I'm hit. Avery, you took him out with one arm? Yes, sir. Let me check that arm. Thanks again, Jefferson. Johnny, you in one piece? Yes, sir. We thought you and John were coming home. Once we realized they already had the drop on us. It worked out, okay, but I wish we could have left one alive. I would have loved to know who they're working for. He's a lucky man. The bullet would have hit his heart, but since we have his arm brace, that bullet lodged in his tibia.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Will he be able to travel? We have to go. I'm good to go, sir. I told you, you were going to earn your stripes. They'll be back, and we can't be here when they do. No, no, no, no, no. Let's go. No, Erica, we're not going that way. Over here. Down the cliff?
Starting point is 00:19:11 We'll have to repel down, but it's the safest way to get past the guards. Are you serious? How are we going? to get Daniel and Vlad down this. We'll have to tie them to the stretchers and lower them down. We've done it before. We'll send one climber on either side to make sure they don't flip. We have three guards headed this way, but they're a good distance off.
Starting point is 00:19:32 We have to move fast. Daniel is the lightest. Let's get them down first. Decks go down with him. Ready? Let's start slow. Easy. Okay. He's good. Bring it up. Let's send Vlad down next.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Got him? I do. One, two, three. Okay, he's good. Tony, Vince, go down. Star and I will follow. Star and I will follow. They're coming. Go down.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I'll untie the rope and send half down to you. You hold onto it, why come down? And we can pull it soon away finds it. Sounds good. Stay still. Stay still. They're right above us. Thank you, God.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Come on. Let's go. The sun is coming up. We're almost there. Behind this rock. This is cool. How are we going to get the stretchers through? We have to take them off the stretchers.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Let's get it done then. Your gardens look good. The warehouses are fully powered. Where are your garden records? Charlotte. She? I, uh... Where's Charlotte?
Starting point is 00:22:06 In the office, by the entry. Go get me the records and send them to Susan. Yes, DJ. See, Zeb? The problem I'm having is everything looks, good. You have no excuses for the unproduction. The loss must be happening and shipping. Don't
Starting point is 00:22:21 lie. I know all that happens in my lands. You have fields and warehouse base for potatoes, yet the numbers are down. Maybe we need to increase the sawer quality. Yuri, get this worthless piece of crap out of my sight. Ship him north to the pit. Sir, I'm sorry, please.
Starting point is 00:22:37 What's going on? Tell me right now. The vert has been trained in his look at your militia. He's been feeding your people. And you've been supplying him with potatoes. Yes, sir. Where is he? Show me on this map.
Starting point is 00:22:51 His homestead is out in this forest. And where are they trading? T.J., sir. Honestly, I don't know. They pay me to look the other way. I don't know the details. But you knew where Liberto was. I went out there.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Why? That's a show of solidarity. Yuri. Come on, Zip. Sir, please. It will never happen again. You think you can pull a stunt like that and retain your position?
Starting point is 00:23:16 Nobody defies me. Nobody crosses me and nobody runs from me. Sir, I'm so sorry. Guess you should have thought of that to begin with. Come on, Zeb. If you don't piece him off, you may be able to leave. All right, honey. Kill it.

Starting point is 00:24:55 No news yet. Tony left about an hour ago. There's a small patrol with a fire that's watching the upper hill. There's scouts come and go about every half hour. Is Daniel going to make it? Only time we'll tell Star. Right now we just have to stay strong for him. Look at my face.
Starting point is 00:25:14 You can't tell Wouldn't know it Hides well Can't let go It's in my blood It's all I ever wanted Slowing down I can't move
Starting point is 00:25:35 I battle my fate To get through Can't let go I'm holding on It's all I ever want. Someone's coming. It's me. We're clear to go, but our group is too big. We'll have to go in shifts.
Starting point is 00:25:55 What did I miss? We have to go on shifts. We'll take Daniel first. I'm thinking Erica and Starr will go as well with Boris. That way Vince and Dex can help carry Vlad in the next shift. Let's do it. We have to go now. The darkness won't cover us forever.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I'll get Boris ready. Are you sure, Vince? Don't split up. We have to get Daniel there as soon as possible, and Tony will need health-carrying glad. Patrol just went by. Let's get Daniel out of here and on the stretcher. You got this, baby. I love you. Okay, Dex. Star, let's go. You guys ready to go?
Starting point is 00:26:35 Yes, ma'am. Mom? Mom, why are we weaving all over the place? It's going to take us twice as long. Yeah, what it's much harder to follow the trail that way. I get it. This way. Another run-down shed. That means another tunnel. Oh, joy. Tony, these must be the folks you were telling me about. Erica, we have to carry Daniel down. Can you do that? I'm going back for the boys. Yeah, I got him. Come on, Boris.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Down here, ma'am. That's the tunnel? You lay down the metal cart. It'll take you to Dolores's. Oh, hell no. What if a quake hits? That's the chance we all take every time, good-looking. But it's the only way to Dolores is without passing guards. I suppose you could just mosey on up to some soldiers, though,
Starting point is 00:27:54 and they would let you continue round your merry way, right? Come on, Star. Don't worry, you guys. It's fun. Take me as I am, because you don't know me anymore. Because it gets hard sometimes. Fighting wars You can look me in the eyes
Starting point is 00:28:22 And try to see me as you did But do not criticize If you no longer see the kid That you used to know So let them know So let them go And don't be afraid of the trade I'm giving you the best I can
Starting point is 00:28:55 Don't feel scared I'm afraid Do you think he knows where they're trading? No, T.J. I try to let him know how much Easier his life would be if he could provide you with that information. I don't think he knows. Stupid piece of garbage doesn't even know what's happening under his own nose.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Who's second in charge around here? Ryland, sir. You met him earlier. That stumbling idiot? If Teresa wasn't so sick, I'd send Susan down here for a while. DJ, the militia definitely have a trading hold. Here, in town. Where?
Starting point is 00:29:46 I caught the two guys and questioned them, but they wouldn't tell me. Where are they now? They will tell me. They were too soft, DJ. I'm sorry. I killed them too fast. Well, that's just great. You should have brought them back. Sheila would have found out. If we go out and get Liberto, he will tell us where. No, we still have the element of surprise. And what do you want to do? Go get that woman who lost her daughter.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I'll meet you at the holding cells. Yes, T.J. Sir, what can I do for you? Yes, sir. Handlers, line up your product in a row for inspection. Everyone take a knee. All of the women look up at me. So which one is she? There she is.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Mama, you found me. Get back on your knees, girl. Please, let me take her home. Where is the militia trading post? I don't know. I know. one in town and you're going to tell me where it is or your daughter's going to be sold on the stage. It's in the church at the other end of town. There's a secret basement where they store
Starting point is 00:31:23 everything. Sergei, put the women with the other women we were taking home. You said I could take her home. No, I told you she would not be sold on that stage. She won't be. You bastard. Woman? Sergei, get them out of here and teach that woman her place. Yes, DJ. Yuri, find an entrance and round up everyone you find there for the pit fights. Yes, Dean. There's the white. Getting brighter! Hey, Boris, good to see you again.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And hello, ladies. Lorris's waiting for you. Let's get you unloaded. And this must be our little man that's not doing too well. Well, let's get him on the gurney and over to the medical facility. Follow me. Did you see the other tunnel entrances back there? I did.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Oh, wow. He'll be in good hands. Alex will show you where to wait. Hi, please come with me. This is incredible. It's like a house from before the quake. Completely underground? I think so.
Starting point is 00:33:25 How come the windows show outside? It's fake. It's a TV. News of you all come and hit me like a ton of bricks last night. Hi, I'm Dolores. Jell are welcome. Good to see you, little bored. But you're not so little anymore, are you? No, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Oh, yes, you've grown up quite a bit. Would you like to go out and play with the kids, sweetie? Yes, ma'am. You two come over here. Okay, Dr. Wilson, work your magic. I don't want these two lighten up my private bungalow. You two have tracking devices planted in your bodies, and we're going to have to get them out before soldiers come knocking on my door.
Starting point is 00:34:12 What? Then why haven't they found us? Well, the radiation on the West Coast disrupts their signal. And we have shields over our underground facilities. But short-range trackers from the soldiers upstairs could still pick you up. Your family is all those soldiers are hunting right now. We need to get this done quickly. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:34:32 It's on your left side, directly under your armpit. You'll have to remove your shirts. You've been through some tough battles. The road hasn't been easy. Dolores? I'll be right back, ladies. Okay, I found it. Now hold very still.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Now that it's out, we clean up the wound and there you go. That wasn't so bad, now was it? Actually, no, it wasn't. I had visions of the Total Recall Movie with Arnold Swee. Schwarzenegger pulling a huge ball out of his nose. No, these are much more elegant. And now it's neutralized. Now it's your turn, young lady.
Starting point is 00:35:24 What about my son? Your son, madame, is the reason you were allowed admittance here. It's a good thing. And it's a bad thing. How do you mean? Your son has a new and improved chip. This chip comes fully equipped with a kill switch, once activated both the individual and the chip self-destruct. What? Those fucking bastards?
Starting point is 00:35:51 Your son's chip has been activated, but the radiation from the Pacific and a very strong will to survive have kept it from working properly. We've never had the chance to study this chip before it instructs, so you bringing him here has presented us with a very unique situation. And what about my brother? The objective here is to get the chip. and keep both the boy and the chip intact. Once the chip is out, your son should be fine. The trick is getting it out without destroying the chip and killing the boy. How's that? You just removed our chips pretty easily.
Starting point is 00:36:24 We've never removed one of these new chips, though, and we'll have to convince it that it's still in working condition, or it will self-destruct. We'll get it done, though, and we'll save your son. I've got to go now. Dolores will be back in a moment. Make yourselves at home now. Can you believe this? Oh, I believe it, Mom.
Starting point is 00:36:47 This is certainly not the world that my mom and dad told me about when I was little. You haven't talked about them in a long time. The world's a much different place than it was when they left. Priorities have changed. It just seems like the focus should have turned to healing, healing the people and the planet. I have to believe that nobody in a position. of power as doing anything with the thought of hurting other people. They do what they think is for the greater good.
Starting point is 00:37:16 They never consider all the lives that are affected by their decisions. They were dependent upon beliefs in a system that failed. They thought they could conquer the planet through industrialization, never considering that our technology didn't have to dominate the planet, it could have worked with it. Now they want to return to the familiar ways they once knew to the beliefs in the economy and progress that felt normal to them. To achieve that system, some people have to go.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Some people will have to be used, but their lifestyles will be maintained and the world will be rebuilt. And to what? I don't know, Star. I just don't know. Hello, ladies. Now that we have that little chip problem solved, we have to solve a much bigger one.
Starting point is 00:38:04 What's that? Your rags, of course. I can't have you stroll around and start. sitting on my sofa like that. You'll stick out like a sore thumb around here. Now y'all follow me. In here, ladies, now Erica, you'll look spectacular and black. And Star, this red dress is for you. I'm sure you'll find the sizes to be a match. This ain't my first rodeo. The showers over there, and you'll find everything you need to do up your hair and face. I want you all to use it. I know you ladies have been held up in that awful refugee camp.
Starting point is 00:38:37 for a long time. But around here, I expect to see all my ladies look in their finest. That lady has a whirlwind. For real, Mom. She expects me to wear this? It's too small. And me wear this? Oh wow, when in Rome, right? What? When in Rome, do as the Romans do? It's an old saying. I guess so. Real old. Whatever, I'm not that old If you say so Come on, let's take that shower Think Daniel will be okay mom
Starting point is 00:39:13 After hearing all that Sam had to say I'm scared Me too, but I think Tony brought us to the right place I love you I hope that I can be as strong as you one day I love you too Let's take that shower you stink This is beautiful
Starting point is 00:39:32 It's been a long time since I saw real marble you're shaking are you okay it's okay mom he's gonna be okay I'm not as strong as you think I am Star I can't do this can't relax and shower when I know he's lying in there on the brink of death
Starting point is 00:39:56 there's nothing we can do now we'll make it through this we left them all behind Star we left our dearest friends for our freedom, and now Daniel may die for it. Yeah, we did, Mom. Not many people get to choose their life anymore, and we made a choice. Who knows what would have happened if we stayed? But you always told me that we can't focus on the what is, only the what is.
Starting point is 00:40:24 So you take a look in the mirror and feel sorry for yourself. Take that moment to let yourself worry and second guess and then stop it. Yes, we were fed. And yes, we were safe. But were we ever fulfilled? Did you want to spend your life in that place forever? I hated every minute of it. So take your moment and then get over it.
Starting point is 00:40:51 We have to be strong. We have to carry on. For Daniel. You're right. I'm sorry. Don't be. We're all scared, but we have each other. What did you ever turn out so grounded in this world? I just got lucky. I had two sets of awesome parents.
Starting point is 00:41:11 We've traveled years down the road. Circling back through mistakes and denial. So let's carve a new path and go. And bring only joy in good faith for survival. Hold on, hold on. now so tear down your blame and teach someone else how hold on hold on it's darkness to light let's take up our hearts and agree to unite we are we are in this together so give help to someone in need Do you like morale patches, morale patches that are prepper-related?
Starting point is 00:42:07 Things like, hey, can I drink that fuel? Two is one, one is none, three's a guarantee, or been prepping since Y2K? Well, if so, go to patch of the month.com and subscribe for $10 a month or $100 a year. Car is just around this corner. You doing okay, April? Yes, sir. Ready for arrest. Hang in there, Sergeant. You didn't have to walk us out here.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I wanted to see it through. Why did you help me? Because I had the chance to help a friend and I didn't. That choice haunts me to this day. You have the chance to help my friend. So by helping you, I have the opportunity to help my friend. What is your name? She knew me as big John Green,
Starting point is 00:42:56 but it would probably better to never mention me because if she ever tried to find me, I'll be gone. Thank you, John. You ready to go, Major? We'll be back in Reno before you know it, sir. Sounds good to me. We all deserve a moment of rest. I don't get on. We all fall down. We don't get up. We all fall down.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Get up. Get out. We all fall down. Down. Down. down We all fall down The yard is clear sir Sergei is finishing the sweep on on the home now Excellent. Are we all set, Sergei? It's ready for you.
Starting point is 00:44:11 I don't need a gift. No money or labor. What if we just say, you owe me a favor? Liberto Meschelow. How nice to finally meet you. It's a shame it had to be under these circumstances. You've never had any problems with my alcohol productions in the past. No, I never have. Uri loves your vodka. It's true. A connoisseur, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Your blend is so smooth. My palate sings with joy. Would you like a drink? We didn't come for the drinking, and Uri will have a drink whenever he wants one in the future. Of course. Your skill is the only thing keeping you alive right now. Sir, I don't understand. You're coming back to my compound. Uri's in charge of your future. You will make alcohol and sleep and be thankful for each day you still breathe. Why would you do this? I didn't do this. You did.
Starting point is 00:45:15 That's what you say, I'm going to be. Deal. Lovely ladies. Much better. Let me see you too. Looks like you've seen some challenges, Erica. Do you want a shawl? Actually, no. I'm good. How's Daniel? He survived the procedure. Come on. I'll grab Dr. Wilson. Oh, thank God. See, Mom? We're going to be okay. And may I say how much better you ladies look and smell. Daniel's one hell of a fighter.
Starting point is 00:46:08 I got the tech out, and the boy will make a full recovery. Good, see him. This place is amazing, Dolores. Did you put all this together after the Great Quake? No, no, Erica. I've always loved women in medicine, so I've always made sure that my ladies have access to the best medical care available. I want quality women by operation, not skanks off the street.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Oh. Here he is. Well, if you keep inside your heart, a little space when things get hard. Well, I will be there when you need. I will never be that far. And I will say it like new that I'm so proud of you. Oh, he's so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Your husband and son have already been to visit him. They're here? They made it? Yes, they're getting cleaned up now. Thank God. But you ladies could use a rest. Come on. Your boy'll be fine. See?
Starting point is 00:47:16 I'll let you know as soon as he's awake. Sounds good to me. I could use a drink. Come on, Mom. This flat okayo as well? He'll be fine. We treated my horse here. He got lucky.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Bull it missed his femoral artery. That's good. You ladies can relax here. You're safe. Eat, drink, and be merry. But your family will have to push on as soon as Daniel is healthy enough to do so. Having you all here is just too risky, even for me. But the tech that boy carried has paid for your stay in full.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Thank you, Dolores. I don't want you to get in any trouble on our account. We'll be gone as soon as Daniel is able. Don't worry about that now. Enjoy your time here while you have it The world out there will not give you as much time to relax These ladies anything they want Food, drinks, smoke, men, anything they want
