I remember time before the Great Quake. Before the climate refugees called FEMA Camp's home. Before the labor laws and infertization 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 Good morning, Cupcake. Good morning, Bennett.

How's he doing? The fever is down, but he's still out. You need to sleep. I'm fine. Erica, you need to sleep. I don't follow your orders. I'll decide what I need, Sergeant. Mom, is everything okay?

Everything is fine, baby. I'll take them out, Mom. Is that coffee I smell? The coffee is for people who slept last night. Ooh, I slept last night. I'll take a cup. I slept like a baby. Okay, two cups coming up. I'll take one.

And one more cup coming up. Let's see who's left. Come on, Bennett. Nope, not that one. Do I get one? Did you sleep last night? I sure did. Then here you go, young man. Come on, he's too little for coffee.

Not anymore. He's got work to do. I do? Yep, everyone gets your gear on. We're hit it out. Oh man, it's cold out there. Quit your belly aching. I'll make sure you stay warm. That's what I'm afraid of.

Come on, trucker. Bennett, seriously? Coffee? Oh no, look at that. It's all gone. I guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. Do you want me to come? No, I want you to get some sleep.

Today we are making snow. Today we are making snow shovels. See that thick bark? We're going to attach it to those limbs over there. What are we going to shovel? I'm glad you asked, Dexter. Yeah, great question, Dex. Every day you'll trade off duties.

We need a trail that goes to the left when you come out of the door for the latrine trench. The path to the right will have to be about 25 by 25 square at the end. We'll put the woodpile there and we'll use it for training. Do I get to carry two? Careful what you wish for, Danny. Star, you're with me. you're leaving what are we supposed to do i just told you make the shovels dig the trails use the metal shovel to dig the latrine dig out the training field and then fill the wood pile until i return how long is that going to be until i get back

bye guys have fun We're going to be able to be. Good morning, T.J. Yes, it definitely is. How are you feeling? Fine. Can you please put her away? Do you mind if Caitlin eats with us? That's fine.

She can help you clean today. I'm going to the doctors and to lunch with Susan, then working here. She could stay in the cell with Jamie until you need her. You're really thinking about keeping her? Yes, I am. Bring her out then. Come eat. with us. Yes, T.J.

Thank you, T.J. Caitlin, this is Teresa. She takes care of my home. Hello, ma'am. Hello, Caitlin. T.J. honors you by allowing you to sit at his table. And I'm forever grateful for his kindness. I can see why he likes you. Go ahead and eat your omelet before it gets cold. Tell me, my sweet Kalyn, what should be done with Jamie? A quick death would be too kind for that traitor, T.J.

Teresa, the woman speaks the truth. I mean, how can you argue with that logic? T.J., you know I don't get involved with your business. T.J., what are you doing? I'll get those dishes. You look tired, and I want you to relax. I'll do it. I can do it, T.J. See that, Teresa? Caitlin can do it.

What do you think? I'll teach her what I know. Get going. Thank you. I'm going out. You listen to Teresa and do what she says. Learn what she knows. When she's not here, you go in the cell with Jamie.

Yes, T.J. I got my little house I'm living in I got my little babe I feed her because everything is under control control control every day is new but I'm old now I'm so yeah I'm so

There's a good spot over there for a deadfall trap. Do you think anyone else is out here? Most folks around here already stocked up for the winter. Are the only ones dumb enough to be out here? You said it, not me. Impressive. Come on. We'll follow us trail out of ways and then we'll loop back. Where do you come from, Bennett? The South.

Where in the South? Were you born in California? You know I was. No, I know Eric have found you there. Yeah, I was born there. Let's use these trees to set up a couple of snares. The snow will hide the loop. That's what I was thinking.

I don't need you looking at me. Examinating closely what you see. Do you have a family? I had to come from somewhere You left them I belong to the core We're going to meet Vince's parents That's an interesting way of saying

Grandparents But they're not really my grandparents They are star Erica never says you're anything else Other than her daughter There's a good spot over there And all life keeps pushing But you keep losing yourself

Before you find out where you are Did you find out who you are? That's far enough for today. Let's head back. I don't know about Sean, though. Why? What did he say?

He didn't say anything. I'm just saying with the body as hot as yours, you can have your choice of any man. See, that's just the thing. Sean looks past my body into my heart. He'd love me for who I am inside. He's got you fooled. No man, his right mind is looking past your body. Thanks for grueling my point.

Can't fault a guy for trying. Look, we got one. We got two. Looks like rabbit stew for dinner. I want you to make sure you're taking some days off and getting plenty of rest. I feel like all I do is rest these days, Doctor. Good. Your body's fighting hard. It needs proper nutrition and plenty of rest to do that.

But the test results are inconclusive? We don't have access to the specialist system like we did before the quake. It is what it is. It's frustrating is what it is. I understand. Thank you, Doctor. Why don't you check back with me in a month? And if you have any other problems between now and then, just let me know.

thanks doctor how did it go fine i just wish we had more answers what did he say to do eat right and rest how many times you lived in pain how many scars between your veins were you and this was being real have a seat ladies You're going to spend the afternoon cleaning TJ's home. Do you want me to help you? No, TJ has a young lady helping me. Her name is Caitlin. Really? What's up with that?

He never keeps women around. He's rather smitten with her. He asked me if I would train her. What will you have? We'll take two of the special? Coming up. To do what? Cook and clean for him.

The pasta recipe? For him, of course. Any woman taking care of him needs to know that. I think you're. He's going to replace me. Here you go, ladies. Thank you. Why would you think that?

When he comes to the office, he only wants to talk to Patrice. Didn't Jamie work for her? Yeah. She was aligned with the militia. That's all he was after. Maybe you're right. I know I am. I'm here to tell you this will last forever.

If you surrender Whenever you hear my voice Whenever you feel in love Are you coming by tonight? Sounds like T.J. has a full house. Why didn't you come to my place? He's having a party. I need to be there to make sure everything is taken care of.

Okay, I'll come over. Don't ever do it. I won't. Feel the music, let the music live in you. Thank God you finally came. That traitor stinks. Let's get you out of here. We've got a lot to do.

Tell me where to go, ma'am. You can start in TJ's room. The sheets seem to be stripped and everything needs. needs to be dusted. With pleasure. The sheets stink like him. Sometimes he's so tired after the gym, he doesn't shower. It's not that bad.

Better than the shitty-ass barn my parents had us living in. Don't you miss them? No. They were paranoid. They never let us go anywhere. They always fought about everything. Honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I guess everything happens for a reason.

I know, right? Look at me. Living in T.J. Swenson's home. He gives me anything I want and takes me everywhere with him As long as I listen and do what he says Sounds like you're really enjoying your time with him Oh no, he's a complete asshole But no other men touch me and I mean

He's T.J. Swenson If I married him, I could have anything I wanted for the rest of my life That would be pretty great You can start on the bathroom now I'm going to get started dusting the main room Come get me when you're done Yes ma'am Now, all memories, well, they still make my heart hurt when the world ends, babe, I hope you burn.

Thank you. Major Virgis, we meet again. Please have a seat. Thank you, ma'am.

That's some storm out there. Would you like some coffee to warm up? Yes, please. I insist you and your people stay in the officer's quarters until this storm is over. Thank you. I'll take you up on that offer. So, what have you been doing with your time lately, Major? Rumor has it, you've been chasing fugitives out west. That's why I came to speak with you.

What do I have to do? with escaped refugees. This family's parents live in your region. As servants? No, they're landowners. Then why was this family in the camp? They were there since the quake. Their paperwork was lost. The director overlooked them.

Why did they escape the camp? The parents could have put in a request for them. No one told them. The director didn't want the blemage on his record. He was going to eliminate them. Mr. Tweed is up for a promotion, but he's such a kind of... such a kind man, opportunistic, but kind.

I can't speak to his character, only the facts I was told. What do you need from me? I need to bring them through the wall. You found them? I did. You're bringing them home to their family. I am. You can bring them through my gate.

Thank you, ma'am. However, they will face the Northern Governing Board, so the board can decide how to handle this. I understand, ma'am. I've had better days. I've been sweet of songs. I had a younger mind. with the younger heart what did she say we can bring them through we can't get to them now no we can't we'll wait on the storm go see General McClintock at the

Capitol where it is he's a Millie lax for the winter going home for Christmas sounds like a plan to me sir go help Averyne look here looks like we'll be here for a while yes sir I used to get my way I had a lighter load I I used to fool around I had a softer side But I had stronger bones Oh, where did I go? The merch have this place sealed up tight.

You're not authorized to kill anyone. That's the only way we're getting in there. Pull out. We're not creating an incident. There's one more thing, sir. What? Burgess is here. Did he bring Erica? Not that I've seen, sir. Just him with two other bozos.

Get me as much intel as you can and get home. Winter's coming in fast. Yes, sir. T.J. What the hell is your problem? The Merck's have Porter locked down for the winner. Nate and Anthony can't get it. get to her. No, sir, and Verges is there. You already found Erica? I think so.

Quit staring out the window, and think, son. Where was Ryan? East of Helena. Find out what's immediately east of there, and that's where she's going to be. There has to be some town or something over there. There's plenty between here and there. What the hell are you looking at, T.J.? That asshole, Angelo. Every time Nate leaves, he's after her. After Margaret? Yes. They've been picking on her because she brought that traitor into your home. She didn't know. It's not your problem, T.J.

Let's her train a student. Yes, sir. Go home and do your job. Yes, sir. That boy is so mixed up. Is he? He's not supposed to be concerned with those trivialities. You saved him and you love him like a son.

You saved him. And I own him. He's worth much more of me than a son. He saved that girl. He cares what happens to her. He took her from her father. You know how he feels about children. Another weak spot.

He'll make a mess of everything if he's allowed to handle the situation with the girl. I just know it. Then you handle it so he doesn't have to. Or make Serge handle it. Serge isn't taking care of it because he knows T.J. favors her. I got work to do tonight. You need anything before? I go? Nah, I'm good.

You done with that woman yet? Nope. Have fun with that. Don't worry, I am. Get your gear and get to the training fields for weapons practice. Yes sir. Alright, you stay here. Yes, sir.

Did I do something, sir? Get in the ring. Yes, sir. Hit me. You bring traitors into my son's house? I didn't know, sir. You like that? Do you like the pain? No, sir.

Get up. Pain's the secret to life. You have all people to know that. Your father brought you plenty of it. T.J. Save me from that pain. No. T.J. introduced you to a new pain. You have to love the pain, and you will conquer.

Did it hurt to kick your father in the street? No, he deserved it. Don't wait for your employer. hone it to deserve you deliver the pain faster and no one can hurt you not your father not those kids and not angelo what about tjay he is the pain margaret Are you sure you don't want to come with us, mom? No. What if your dad wakes up? I need to be here. Are you sure you're going to be okay, Johnny? I'm tired of laying around. Bennett said it was okay.

Yeah, I know what he said. Do you need anything before we go? No, Daniel and I are going to work on training, Jack. I'm keeping you boys fed today. Come on, Johnny. Let's stock that wood pile. What pile is over here? So, uh, I'm sorry I shot you.

Yeah. It's just, my mom had just killed, like, a dozen soul. And things were all crazy. I get it, dude. We tracked you guys across the badlands. I know it was a crazy trip. We almost starved. And then Daniel almost died.

We went hand to hand with wild dogs. And well, you see what happened to my dad. But you made it. Your family's all together. It's more than I can save for mine. What happened? My mom died in the quake. That's rough, buddy.

Concessions. and needed to bits I had it in. When the light is then, I started chatting to myself and deep conversations and made of the bits I had in. There could be some kind of loneliness and a lot of pain.

There could be some kind of something. Could be some kind of flawless and a lot of thing But I'm gonna rock this house with my part tonight Are you just gonna sit there while I do all the work? You shot me in the arm, bro. I can't chop. You still got one good arm. You could stack wood and fill the sled. If you held your hands further back on the axe, your swing would have more power.

Oh, really? Says the man with one arm. It works, right? Yeah, it does. What's that you're wearing on your hip? Throwing knives. You any good? Just got them. I haven't had much time to practice.

But I did hit one of the dogs. Let's try him. You can use the target over there. Yeah, but if we miss, we'll lose them in the snow. That's true. That's true. That's true. Let's do it.

So do you think he gripped the handle or the blade? I don't know. Try both ways. Okay, here it goes. Nice. You did it. Try the other way. That sucked. It bounced right off of it. You want to try? You shot my good arm. Yeah, you probably won't be any good anyway.

Okay, give it to me. I'll try. Oh, crap. You cracked the wall. What is going on out here? Obviously not getting wood chopped. Here, take the rabbit in the house. Good job, Bennett. So, boys, it doesn't look like the woodpile got much bigger.

And what do we have here? You two planning on turning the few walls we do have into Swiss cheese? What do you plan on doing with you? these anyway. I'm going to learn to fight with them. Boy, you have a long way to go before you need to worry about adding weapons to your fighting skills. And right now, you have a wood pile to stack. Yes, sir. No more breaks until it's done. Yes, sir. That goes for you, too, Johnny. But, sir, my arm. Don't give me that sob story. You got enough energy to goof off. You have enough to stack wood. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Fine job. You've earned your team extra rations for lunch and extra time off tonight. I'm going to suggest to Mr. Lee you run the gauntlet. Thank you, sir. You're dismissed. Hit the showers and go get some food. Yes, sir.

Sir, can I talk to you for a minute? What do you want? Why would you give that traitor a second chance to be a black shirt? Just because she's T.J.'s favorite. She's not a traitor, and she earned it with hard work and discipline. A quality you may want to develop more of. I'm the best fighter here. It should be me running the gauntlet. Did you knock your partner out?

No, sir. Listen to me very closely, Angelo. because I'm not going to tell you again you're not running the godlet before you learn discipline and self-control you run your mouth when you think too much of yourself

Tell me when he's ready. Yes, sir. DJ's having a party tonight? Yes, sir. You guard him, Serge. Stay close. Yes, sir. DJ, what are you doing here? I'm coming to train. What does it matter to you?

I thought you were having a big party tonight. That's not for hours in Teresa's cleaning. What is your problem anyway? The juniors are finishing in the showers. Is that little bastard Angelo in there? DJ, he deserves another chance. He's a good fighter. He seals his own fate.

Maybe it's your affection for Margaret that does that. Maybe you should mind your own business, not worry about mine. Yes, DJ. Serge, my brother, come in. What are you doing? We're having a pre-party. Have a drink. Enjoy the girls, Sergei.

I don't want a woman right now. What is the problem, brother? DJ and Angelo and Margaret, all of these bullshit. Do not worry about all that. Relax. You work to play, Sergei. Father always said you were a clown, Yuri. You were going to run away to the circus.

But he set me to learn to fight. With you. You are a good, brother. brother. Father would have been proud. Ah, Sergei, you honor me. Look here. Liberto just made a new batch of vodka. We have to do some quality control. Not too much. I have to have my head on when we go to Tj's. Sit down and relax. Ladies, take care of him. Yuri, I told you. Are you sure we can't help you relax? I guess, Sergei.

I guess, maybe. Here, sample is vodka. No wonder you wanted Liberto here. I suppose we have a little time to rest before we have to go. They're singing lae, la, la, la. Lae, la, la, la. How lay-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-l. How long has it been back?

Two years. I was back after the Okololitan collapse. What about you, Avery? It's been five years, sir. No reason for me to come back. Where's your family? No longer on this earth, sir. Then you and I have got something in common. Did yours die in the quake, sir? No, my mom died of cancer, my dad died of a broken heart, well before the quake. My mom wasn't doing well when I got transferred to the badlands. It was rough leaving her, but she recovered. Dad says she's trying to stay alive to see me again Well isn't this just some cheery shit Looks like another storm coming in

We were lucky to get the window we did Go grab a bunk We poured in tomorrow Yes sir When I started it all But it was different than the times before When I started it all Come in

Why, sir? How have you been? I've been better. Come in. Sit down. Yes, sir. That woman sure has stirred up at Hornets nest goal. Colonel Henderson's in an uproar. Unrest is moving through the population. And it sounds like you've been cleaning up the mess as they travel. She's been keeping me busy, sir. Did you find her?

Yes, sir. I assume you visited with the... Elena Porter on your way here. Yes, sir. She agreed to let Erica in through her gate. What's the trade-off? The family will answer to the governing board. It will give them a chance to go public. There's no harm in it. That's not what concerns me.

That what is, sir? The southern forces aren't sure she can turn the votes. They're thinking of siding with the militia. Damn it! Maybe I can talk to Cassidy. No, that relationship has caused enough problems. This is not a problem we have to solve right now. It's going to be a long winter.

How's my boy? Is he with you? No, sir. I left him with Ben and Eric's family. He was shot, sir. What? You may have led with that fact. Is he okay? Of course he is, I would not have left. Bullet grazed his arm, he'll be fine. How?

There was some confusion when we first met the family. Erica shot him? No, her son did, but he had no idea who Johnny was. There's a lot riding on this, Cole. We've got the winner to plant it out. The party can now begin. Yuri and Sergei have arrived. It's about damn time.

Come and have a seat. Did you bring some of Leberto's vodka? You know that I did. But are you dreading me for it? I could get some of Dr. Bone's secret mix. Your women will forget any life except the one with you. with you. My women do that anyway.

Speaking of women, TJ. You're not going there tonight. Yes, sir. I am. Caitlin is just too damn pretty, and I don't see Erica occupying yourself. She is pretty, isn't she? Sweet as can be, too. You said I could have a turn if Erica wasn't here in the next couple of days. I know what I said.

Take her. But, T.J. Shut your mouth and go to my room. Yes, T.J. Go, take your turn, Carl. You don't have to tell me twice. Where is the joke? He's got some jobs to finish up.

You stink like vodka. Where have you been all afternoon? With my brother. We had to make sure the airto's new batch was palatable. Mr. Lisa, you're here to guard me, didn't? I would be here anyway. Fine job, showing up smashed orange. I can hold my leagher, DJ.

Where are you going? I need some air. I'll come with you. Don't. Just sit down and relax. It's a party, Sergei. It wasn't a moment. It was a feeling of moving back.

I've had nothing last. Where did it, where did it go? Where are you going, T.J.? Chuck, you're here early. I didn't want to miss the fun. What are you skulking around about? I just need some air. Already?

The night's so young. Come on. Where did it, where did it go? Chuck, come in. Sit down, Nelson Vodka. What did you do to piss you off already? Carl won't a bit and took his woman for a turn. That explains it.

I wanted to talk to you about her, and since you're in a sharing mood. What do you want? You know I've been put together that, Harley? Yeah. I found her perfect gas tank for it, but this guy has everything. Except a woman. Not a woman. The woman.

He described Caitlin. To a T. Do you want to trade my woman for a gas tank? Not a gas tank, the gas tank. You know you owe me. Who was the one who brought you with those burners? Oh, little starving T.J. He must have been so cute.

Shut your mouth, Sergei. Don't even get me started. Come on, Sergei. Not tonight. I don't know, Chuck. I like this one. I'm going to have a heart attack. DJ actually has a soft spot for this girl.

Sergei, stop. You better listen to your brother before I... DJ, go grab another bottle and think about it. What are you all upset about? Caitlin. What about her? Chuck wants to trade her for the gas tank he's been looking for, for his Harley. I'd give the man what he asks of me, but...

Let her go. She's not worth the spit in her mouth. Why would you say that? Because you care for her, and she only cares for herself. She's not good enough for you. What would I do without you? Probably starve. Here you go, Chuck.

Come and get the girly tomorrow. Are you serious? She's just a whore, and you're my family. Ah, you're the best muffin. Get off me. You're nasty. Oh, it's so sweet. I better get to ride that bike when it's done. It's easy to get caught up in nonsense.

It's easy to get away of the world. This spinning around in circle got me sicker than that's of the world. Everything is ugly. It's practically dirty. And crux of in Congress sent in my pockets for what you do. Don't talk to me less don't drink you. You wouldn't like me when I am sober. I talk to you the same parent or mess,

90 times over. I'm drunk, so give me my elephant gone. I kill all that kind in the room. Soon we will be born there. Hi, this is Jane Austen, otherwise known as Survivor Jane. voice of Dolores Chapman. I'd like to invite you to my website, Survivor Jane.com,

Giron, no! That's enough. Yuri, take him out back and kill him. Yes, sir. You piece of shit! Your training begins now. You will not raise your voice to me, ever. No!

You will respect me. And you will do as I command. If you don't, you will follow your brother to your grave. Do you understand? Yes, T.J. That's much better. We're going to have some fun. Sergei, my brother.

Thank you. I'll tell Mr. Lee you did your job. No one will ever touch you, brother. The militia sent it, DJ. I know. That's something I intend to remedy. We're going to scour my territory grid by grid until we found every militia's scum

hiding in every corner and eliminated. That should keep it. computer fighters busy this winter. Exactly. I feel so alive Oh, I feel so alive. Oh, I feel so alive. Oh.

I hear your voice when I'm alone, but it's not grown. you were my bed you were my future you were my kids you were my muse if you were next to me I would keep you on repeat

I would steal you hide and heal you take the bat from every wheel and I would say the only words that you would all to hear and I would move

you never lose you And if you felt, I'd take the bruise, I would put it all the way. If you were here today, you'd never break. How long have I been out? About four hours. But you were out for five days before that. Look at you with your book, your rifle, and your dog. You've been sitting here the whole time worrying about me?

Of course that happens. What would I do without you? I love you. Oh, baby, you're not lucky enough to get rid of me. Shut up, Vince. Did I hear you say Sergeant Bennett found us? Or was that just a dream? Yes, you did. You weren't dreaming.

Thank God for that man, Vince. He saved you. With the antibiotics? Yeah? You were in a bad way. And I'm sick of worrying about my family dying. This didn't even have to happen. Cole was looking for us to save us from the feds. Turns out that there's a resistance movement growing that's bigger than we could have imagined. So, what do they want from us?

What do you mean? Why would the resistance movement want us safe? Why would they waste resources on that? Why would Sergeant Bennett come all the way out here? Don't hide anything from me, Erica. I'm hurt, but I'm not stupid. It's our story. And the stories of the revolts at the camp are escape.

Word has spread, and the resistance wants to harness that energy. Oh, Master Sergeant Bennett likes us, and so does Cole. Well, that's a good thing. and his master sergeant now Erica I thought we were getting out to live freely so we didn't have to fight anymore what was I supposed to do baby

you were being poisoned by that infection you would have died do you know how much we owe them now I don't think they're playing us Vince what goes around comes around in life and if not in this life and the next I talk with Bennett about it and yes he does want to use my voice in our stories

But it will be for something good in this world, for freedom, for everyone. Always the little fighter. Come here, give me a hug. I just hope I can do it. Do what, baby? Have the spirit to go on fighting. Have the power to take on forces that are so much bigger than me. Yeah, but it won't be just you.

You have your family behind you. Promise? Cross my heart. Don't finish that statement. Daddy! Hey, buddy! Dad! Aren't you two a sight for sore eyes?

And this is Johnny and Sean. Johnny is General McClintock's son. Hello, sir. Pleasure to meet ya. And Sean is from the Freetown we went to. We did? Well, we were on the outside. You were pretty. out of it. Nice to meet you, Sean. It's great to see you awake, sir. Your daughter speaks very highly

of you. Yeah, I'm kind of partial to her as well. How are you feeling, Vince? Little like I got hit by a bus. Good thing we found you when we did. We got the word your family was hunting for antibiotics, so I came very prepared. Thank you, Bennett. Thank you for everything. We never got a chance to tell you that after we left the camp. Don't worry about all that now. You just keep healing. and get back on your feet your wife however has no more excuses to sit in this cabin moping around like a slug she's probably lost every bit of muscle in that tiny body sitting here worrying about you we're going out tomorrow to get you moving again Erica oh really you don't give orders around here remember no I don't but Star told me she wanted to stay in tomorrow

to make a special rabbit stew Daniel told me who wants to work on his painting Dexter, Johnny, and Sean told me they needed to spend tomorrow restocking our woodpile. So I'm in need of a scout. Looks like you're the only one with nothing left to do. But I have to stay and look out for Vince. I'll be fine, baby. All the kids will be around if I need anything. You should go.
