Pain. Pain is the great equalizer, the secret to life. From the time I was a boy, I learned to always inflict pain faster than my opponent, to never let pain guide my decisions, and always harness the pain for my own strength. The Great Quake brought misery and death to a callous number of people, but it made me a god, ruler of my domain, the greatest bounty hunter to ever live. No one, no one dares run from T.J. Swenson, except one. They call her the lone survivor. The savior of the refugees. But she is my greatest bounty ever. This is life on the changing earth. Do not make one wrong move. I'll go get the tickets.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. I just love waiting. Don't you, girlie? Answer me when I talk to you. One day you'll be mine. The Supreme General will tire of you and throw you to the dogs. I've been thinking of what I'd do with a fiery little spirit like yourself.

Sheila and I would delight in making you scream. I will bring you endless pain unless you do exactly as you're told. There'll be no other life but the one I allow you to have. You are mine to command for as long as you live. And you will worship me. You are such a smooth talker, TJ.

Woman, you'll thank me for your existence. And every choice you make will be one I've provided. Can't you just leave her alone for a while? Why, Bishop? You like her? No, you're just a dick, TJ. Good. Because as soon as the Supreme General is done with her, she's mine. I already marked her. Yeah, I remember.

Stand here, girlie. Two days? What do you mean, two days? Aren't you the son of the acting leader of the Mercs? I am, but this area is all militia run. The forge letter from my father is the only thing that got us a ride that fast. They've been moving people non-stop. Great. Just great. You guys want to camp outside of town or get a room somewhere? You guys want to camp outside of town or get a room somewhere? Let's get a room. Maybe we could get some eggshell. This bounty hasn't been any fun at all. I'm out of bed.

We need to make camp outside of town and away from prying eyes. Get over here! We camp outside of town. Okay TJ, you win. We'll camp outside of town so there's less chance of Erica being spotted. She's keeping that hood on the whole time we're here. My point is, there's less ways for her to figure out an escape route. Let's just stick to the mission and not get distracted.

I know more of her shirt is missing now. For sure. This looks like a nice isolated spot. I'll start the fire and make food. Come on, girly. Meet your new tree. Perfect tree for a message for Bennett. I'll just save that for later. Where do you think you're going? You don't run from me ever.

You may not have said it yet, but you will learn it. Get over here. Stand up. What did you put down here? Get over here. Stand up. What did you put down here? How long we been playing this game?

She's been leaving strips of material with her initials on it. Don't worry, Carl. It's a needle in a haystack. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. Come here, girly. Turn around. Now stay there. She wants to rip her shirt up. No more shirt. Now I can admire my work all the time. Bishop, will she be okay? Just make sure she doesn't get too cold at night. It won't kill her.

Especially since we haven't seen the sun in days. You are mine. You are mine. You are mine. You are mine. Show me how this works in case we need another mechanic. In case something happens to me? I didn't want to say it out loud, but since you brought it up... Check this out.

I've rerouted the air filter so it can be changed from inside the cab. This keeps the ash out of the way. You must have been building this thing for years. I have been. It is disaster proof. This cannot be taken out by EMP or a volcano. I bet a tornado could still take it out. You are right. I have not figured that one out yet. Food, water, weapons, gasoline loaded and ready to go. We're shoving off.

Safe travels to you, guys. Take care of that lady, Walker. I'm sure that baby is going to make you a proud papa. Thanks, Beans. I hope you find her. And when you do, you kick some ass for me. You know I will. Let us load up.

I've got shotgun. Everybody in? Yep. Then let us roll. I won't forget a single thing From drunken nights to Sunday mornings And how you smile at me Wish you'd stay

Stay here beside me This isn't how it's supposed to be Wish you'd stay Stay here right with me I can't shake that feeling I didn't know we had a vehicle running. We do not. I do.

Bennett, what are you doing with him? I gave you orders to report to Lieutenant Colonel Jackson. Is that Staff Sergeant Gleason back there? I want you people out of that vehicle right now. Respectfully, sir, I can't follow that order. We're headed to Denver, and then we're going to find Erica. That is not the order I gave you, soldier. If you drive out of this town in that truck, I don't want to see either

of you again. You are done fighting for the mercenary army. You can keep these stripes, sir. Are you serious right now? Goodbye, sir. It won't always be blue skies ahead Sometimes you might

need more help Just like The road is very slippery, so I have to walk a lot. Just like I am Chopping Zion Making it stronger Calling us higher When we're helping each other We're growing together Why didn't we just go to Trance? We don't need Grey that deep in our business. I just want to get home. I need a shower, a bottle of vodka, and a woman.

Couldn't agree more. She looks cold. You want me to bring her over by the fire? She's fine. Sorry, things got a little tense. I just don't trust this woman. You don't have to apologize to me, Carl. You have a job to do.

We finally have her. Once she's standing in front of the Supreme General, I'll feel much better. She'll no longer be allowed choices. It's clear she can't make the right one. Whatever it takes, we're getting her home. Your boy Bishop may feel differently. He was raised in the military and has a commitment to the citizens of this country. He's loyal, but doesn't fully understand the way these people sometimes need to be motivated to stay in line. Give him a

chance. He'll come around. If you say so, Carl. All she's done is watch that road since we stopped here. I noticed. She still has hope that someone is coming to rescue her. Well, we'll have to take care of that, won't we? Damn, it's cold. Where are you, Bennett? No one's coming. We killed them all.

I know. But you still think there may be some chance that they're still alive, don't you? I put two bullets in the man myself. You saw the bombs we dropped. Star will be sold, and Dexter is already in federal custody. Star will be sold and Dexter is already in federal custody. And then there's First Sergeant Bennett, the traitor. If he would have stayed with the federal forces, he would still be alive now.

What? We made sure he didn't leave Denver alive. There's nowhere to run to. Your old life is over. Don't worry. I have a new life plan for you. Where would you go? Erica, listen to me very carefully. If you don't answer me when I ask you a question, it isn't choice. You will live to regret. Where would you go? I don't know. Good choice. Are you cold?

Yes. Would you like to come sit by the fire? Yes. Tell me that you'll never run from me. This is when you answer me. No. Have a nice night. now. Have a nice night.

Shaded with someone I'm not really into Do you need to fix it Talking bullshit It's hard to make you not blue. Not blue Not blue Hi, this is Sarah F.

We appreciate you helping the Changing Earth world go round. Visit us at www.changingearthseries.com. That's www.changingearthseries.com. Thank you so much for the truck, Gear. That saved us a ton of time. I am just glad she made it. Hello, gentlemen. Hello. How did you get this truck running?

I kept it out of the storm. And it is fitted with a bigger air filtration system. We can change the air filter from inside the cab. Nice. Aren't you First Sergeant Bennett? That's right. Where's your stripes, sir? The General and I had a difference of opinions. Nice. Aren't you First Sergeant Bennett? That's right. Where's your stripes, sir?

The General and I had a difference of opinions. Well, whatever the problem, you led one hell of a fight down here, sir. What can I help you with? We need to speak with Lieutenant Virgis. I think he's over in the little town camp. Thanks. Wow, look at this place, Dad. They're shoveling the ash like snow. I can't look, Star.

All I see is Erica out there. I wish you would stay, stay here beside me This isn't how it's supposed to be I wish you would stay, stay here right with me I can't shake the feeling that we said goodbye too soon. You guys wait here. Bennett, you're back? I sure am, Ben. How many men did he send? None. He wouldn't send any. Bennett, you're back? I sure am, Ben.

How many men did he send? None. He wouldn't send any. Patrick, I just got word you made it back. Where's the reinforcements? They got hit bad, guys. The quakes and bombs. Everything is gone. The people on the northern route have large amounts of casualties as well. There are going to be a lot more people headed your way. What about Erica? Is Vince with you? Of course he is. I wouldn't let him down. We're going after her. I'm done taking orders. Sounds like something Erica would say.

Did you guys find out anything about that guy's tattoo? No. Our communications are still down, but we did get an ID on the vehicle. It was a black Chevy Tahoe with a Colorado plate. The number was Golf Tango Kilo 680. We're headed towards Dallas. Hopefully, we find something along the way. But if not, Harold will have intel. I'm going, too. Cole, your place in the Merc Army will be lost. Merkley won't take us back.

Forget Merkley. Erica needs us. You know I'm in. I'm going, too. Gunny, you can't do that. The hell I can't. If my friends are going, I'm going along for the ride. We've got civilians with us that need housing until we can get back. We can talk with Eli and Darren and get them housed in the militia quarters. Sounds good.

Let's go, guys. We've got some new recruits and a place for the civilians to stay. New recruits? You didn't think we'd leave you hanging, did you, Vince? Oh, man. Thanks so much, guys. They've caused enough pain. Teamwork makes the dream work. Gear, drive truck around, back to the militia quarters. You got it, Bennett.

We should head on back before the day breaks. You got it, Bennett. There's a power when we stand together And I can see you on the other side Won't you take me all the way tonight Get on the boat. Do not start problems now. Excuse me, sir. What? I don't know where you come from, but where I come from, we don't parade women around half-naked, even if they are refugees. What do you care about?

Either cover her up, or I'll throw you off my boat right here in the middle of a lake. Here's a jacket. Do it, TJ. Come here, girly. You satisfied, Captain? Yes. Have a nice ride, fellas. I could take that guy. Why does he care what we do with some refugee whore? DJ, just let it go. We don't want any trouble here. Let's just get back to the border. Then we're home free.

That guy should not be allowed to get away with this kind of interference. It's just not right. You must have screwed up big time where your handlers are just major dicks. What happened to your shirt? Where are all these people going? Some will be sold south to Mexico and some will be sold as slaves in the Federal Republic. Why the hood? America more. slaves in the Federal Republic. Why the hood? I'm Erica Moore. They're taking me to General Henderson. You gotta tell the guy who runs this boat. He knows me. And I'm Mother Teresa. Get over here. What did you tell her? That I was an angel sent by God. What did you tell her? sent by God. What did you tell her? We're going to be off this boat in a minute and then Sheila can find out. I didn't tell

anything. That's why I had to wear the hood. What did you freaking tell her? Tell me. I told her I was here and you were taking me to I told her. I was here. And you were taking me. Sergey.

Erica told that woman who she was. I want you to take out the lady and the landowner as soon as we dock. Where is he going? It's your fault. Now that woman on the boat has to die. And your son too. He's gonna kill you! Run! Shut her up. Fuck! to die and your son too he's gonna kill you

I'm sorry Erica son of a bitch that's not nice. What? We all set, then? It's taking care of. Good. Let's get back into federal territory. Only a couple more miles now. Once we get into Chattanooga, we can take a transport back to the capital. We'll be heroes. The Red River. The boundary between Federal Land and Texas.

We're home. Time to see that pretty face again. I know you didn't just pull away from me. Answer me. Stop. Don't you hold that chain. You're going to break my freaking neck. I thought the Supreme General said

pure and unbroken. Don't you tell me what I'm going to do. TJ, lay off. Make the right choice. Now that we're here, let's take a break, TJ. It's been a long day. I'm fine with that.

Merkley, find us a campsite. You need some? She's fine. TJ, we can't take her to the general dead. Fine, but just a little. She doesn't need that much strength now. That's enough.

Trying to fill your sister's shoes is not easy, John. She will be missed. More than she could imagine. What are you doing out here? I need you to make sure my family is safe. I am going to help Vince find Erica. My sister would approve. And I like that woman. She's a good friend.

Couldn't agree more. I'll make sure Elizabeth and your kids stay safe. We've got a couple more families with us that will need to be looked after. We got it. You guys just focus on getting her back. The faster you get on the road, the less time swoops away. My thoughts exactly.

Take care, Eli. We'll be back as soon as we can. Vince, I'm going to stay here and help Eli. The truck is full and they really need the help. Take care of our people and thank you, Victoria. You're not leaving me behind.

Oh, no. We are not taking any gimps along with us. I'm fine, brother. Look. Yes, yes. Get in the truck. Everyone ready to roll? We're all set. Vince! Vince! Wait a second. Could you use a couple more hands?

We sure could. It's going to be a tight fit, but there's nobody I'd rather be traveling. Let's get her back. These are unusual days. We're finding ourselves in a whole other life. So let's be the ones who have changed. And speak only words that can bridge the divide. Hold on, hold on. The timing is right to lay down the anger and leave it behind. Hold on, hold on. It's simple and true. The blood that's in me is the blood that's in you.

We are, we are in this together, so give help to someone in need. We can, we can live for each other, there's strength in our love to believe. We will, we will make this land better, We'll make it for you. I got a spot. Come here, girlie. Nice spot. Secluded. Defendable.

I still can't believe that guy on the boat. I don't know where he's from. But where I'm from, you don't talk back to superiors. Just calm down, DJ. We're almost home. You can send a crew to eliminate him if you want. I may do just that. What the hell are you doing?

I'm tired. My neck hurts. If you promise me you won't run, I'll put the chain back on your waist. I won't run. Tonight. Promise me you won't run ever. Say TJ, I'm sorry, I will never run from you. Say it just like that. Fine.

Then deal with it. Hands behind your back. Legs. Such a pain in the ass. The biggest pain in the ass melty ever. This isn't how it usually goes. Hell no. There's no stew packs left.

Only ration bars. Are you serious? What I wouldn't give for some of Jeannie's pasta. That girl can cook. She's almost as good as Teresa's was. Give me that roll of TP. I'll be back. What is this in the ground?

It's a knife. Come on over. I am so sorry, Erica. Do you think sorry is going to make up for this? My family is dead. What can I do? Jerry! Mercury. My family is dead. What can I do? Jive! Mercury.

What happened, girlie? I don't know. Mercury. Now for the commander. What the hell are you guys doing? Bishop, check on Sergei. You freaking whore. Give me your hands.

Commander, grab me some more gauze. Damn it. Didn't I tell you guys not to get close to her? Keep pressure on him. Right there. We'll have to get him to Chattanooga now. Come on! There's the checkpoint. Commander Gray. Sir. Do you guys have a vehicle here?

Yes, sir. A jeep. Is it running? Yes, sir. Give me the keys. Yes, sir. Quick, load them in the back. I'll drive. You're with me, girlie.

Yes. To be continued... you have in your own home right now, don't click off this ad. Hey everyone, this is Dave Jones, the NBC Guy, and I've prepared a special class. Contact me at NBCGuy.com to learn more, or send me an email at NBCGuy at ProtonMail.com. I'll help Bishop get him into the hospital. Take her to a cell. It's just you and me, girly. Don't you run from me. Say it! TJ, I will never run from you! No!

Say it! Come on! Give me the keys to his cell. Sir, we can take care of the prisoner for you. Nobody touches this prisoner but me. Nobody. Do you hear? It is for your protection, not hers. Now give me the keys.

Here you go, sir. Get up. Face the bars. Do you have a pair of shackles over there? Yes, sir. We sure do. Bring me some real handcuffs, too. Yes, sir. Do not, under any circumstances, get too close to those bars. I'm not kidding about this one.

Yes, sir. Bishop, is he going to make it? I don't think so, TJ. No. No. Even if the road ahead is long and winding Even if the road behind us left you crying Even if the tears come streaming down your face It's gonna be okay You have to let me give her the J for Serge. For Serge. Give me another set of handcuffs.

Yes, sir. Sergei Pavlov is dead. Good. You know what that means. You get a J. Jen. Sergei Pavlov was my friend. And Vince Moore was my everything. We're not even anywhere near even!

Let's spread those arms out, nice and wide. Scream for me! You defiant whore! Have a nice night. Is this song going to be orange forever, Dad? Dad. Dad! One day, it will shine again, buddy. When?

I don't know. One thing's for sure. This rain is not going to be good. Why? It'll turn the ash to concrete and make it even heavier. Oh. Gunny, did you hear if Supply Team Charlie made it to Denver before you left? There were a couple of crews resupplying the North, according to the runner's reports, but I don't know specifics, Bennett. I'm sorry, but it's not really my area. That's better news than I've heard so far. We'll be back, Bennett. She'll be there. I hope so.

Hope is all we have to go on right now. We may have won the battle, but the war is far from over. But now we're free to take the fight to them. Von Hollow will welcome us all. Yeah, don't you know the night's still young You can do whatever you want So don't you let the light burn out Always keep your head up, never let it be dark Just hold on Yeah, hold on Hold on So hold on Always keep your head up

Never let it beat ya How you doing this morning? There aren't many nights I don't enjoy the company of a woman in my bed. He will be missed, TJ. More than you know. What do I say to Yuri? You already know the answer to that question. I do, but I don't like it.

None of us do. I talked to the hospital administrator. They are going to prep his body and send it north. Thanks. The car is ready. Let's load her up. Your eyes are heavy with the weight of the world. Lost in a life you never could affirm Sleep well.

Stand up. See? You're learning. Let's go. You dumb whore. You don't even know what you've done now. But you will know the pain. And when the Supreme General is through with you, you'll learn to worship me as your god. These refugees create chaos everywhere they go.

That's why they need to be on a leash. Isn't that right, Curly? Girl, I swear. Yes, TJ. You don't know the pain like I unleash. You will pray for death. Each breath you take will be given to you by me, your god. She's falling asleep. She's going to the Supreme General. I need her to stay awake. What's that? Smelling salts. No one told you you were allowed to pass out.

You fucking jerk. What? What did you say? Just leave me alone. Oh no, girly. You are mine now. You will not command me. Whatever. You're losing her again. No, I'm not. You will always sleep when I tell you to sleep. We made it. We did it, TJ. Welcome home. Take care of these men. Yes, TJ. Don't go near her. Just leave her be.

I'll be back. TJ! TJ, how good it is to see you back, son. Can we talk, Mr. Lee? Of course, TJ. Susie, pour TJ a drink. Yes, Mr. Lee. I did it, Mr. Lee. I did it, Mr. Lee. I brought her home.

But, Sergei and Gerber... They're dead, Mr. Lee. Oh, no. Not Serge. The hospital in Chattanooga is going to ship Sergei's body home in a couple of days. He was almost home. I know. I heard He was almost home. I know. I heard you guys were home. Did you leave Sergei and Gerber at your place, DJ? What, DJ?

Sergei and Gerber are dead. What? They didn't make it, Yuri. Who could have? It was that little bitch, Mulderdeet. It was. She is an absolute wild card. Just when I thought she was under control, she turned into a killing machine.

My hands are tied, Yuri. She wasn't my bounty. If she were any other man's claim, I would let you have her. But she's going to the Supreme General There's nothing I can do No, T.J. This isn't true Tell me all this is not true

My brother is dead at her hands I know, Yuri Use the pain, brother Let his spirit make you stronger Is T.J. home? Use the pain, brother. Let his spirit make you stronger. Is TJ home? Dolores, my sweet, come here. It's good to be home.

Today, Dolores, I brought home Erica Moore. After years of chasing her, the objective has finally been completed. The Supreme General wants to welcome her like a returning hero. However, so many of her actions require disciplining on the way home. She's a mess now. Have Law Nurse supply you with some makeup. Commander Grey already ordered a high-neck dress from the city. As soon as it arrives, you get to my home and work your magic on this woman.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get her? I do mind you asking. Now go do as you're told. Yes, TJ. So what are you going to do about this, TJ? This girl has been nothing but problems. If the Supreme General tries to house her now, she'll run. I'll make sure to convince him of that and insist that she stays with me until we can get facilities there ready.

We can't kill her or take her yet. But how does a night with Sheila sound? I've faced the wrath of Supreme General to give you that. I'm going to catch it anyway. I already put my initials on her for Gerber and Sergei. Did she scream? She's one tough girl, Yuri. That's not what I asked.

Did Erica scream? No. I have to get back home. This girlie has a meeting with Supreme General, and the road was too long. It's good to have you home, son.
