Kyle, Shawn, Sarah, John and Anna were walking in the forest, trying to find the boat Hunter told them about.
Kyle: Once we find the boat, we'll look for a way to sneak on board.
Shawn: Should be around here somewhere.
Shawn folds the map up.
Anna: Not if Alicia fucks it up like she did last time.
Sarah turns to Anna.
Sarah: Look, Anna, I know how you feel, but it wasn't Alicia's fault!
Anna: Bullshit! My uncle, Zeke and Brie died, because she—
John: Guys....there it is!
The five crouch walk over and see a large boat nearby, all of them hide among the bushes. Shawn pulls up his binoculars and looks through it.
Sarah: You see anything?
Shawn: A beach, a boat and a pier.
Kyle: Let's spread out and focus on those areas. Keep your heads very low.
Everyone spreads out and looks around the boat. Kyle goes over to Anna and both of them see a large amount of supplies.
Anna: We should burn their supplies.
Sarah goes over to John to look at the boat and they can see an opening at the front, looking big enough for someone to climb through. Sarah also sees a path leading to the boat.
Sarah: There's a path that leads to the boat, but it's too open. We're going to need one helluva distraction.
Gorman: Infected!
Orion from above shoots down the infected with her sniper rifle.
Orion: Jesus, Gorman.....
John: So what? Now we just need an army of infected.
Sarah: Yeah....we do.
Shawn looks at the boat and sees Georgette having Samantha at gunpoint as they walk along the boat.
Shawn: Wait, I see Samantha!
John: Holy shit. This is really it! We found them!
Finally, all five of them gathered around.
Kyle: We should get out of here before they spot us. We can talk through the plan once we're somewhere safe.
Everyone starts to get away from the boat.
John: Alright, so what's the plan?
Sarah: Well, they've got guards posted on the pier and the boat. There's no way we can take them all out at once.
Kyle: She's right. Our only hope is to distract them while we sneak on board.
Shawn: We could burn their shit.
Kyle: That could do that.
Anna: Whatever we don't burn, we should take. I mean, Chris is a mechanic, right? He'd make use out of it.
Sarah: Burn the supplies. The fire will lure the raiders away from the boat and we sneak across the pier.
Anna: If anyone sees us, they'll shoot.
Kyle: They won't...
Shawn: What makes you so sure?
Kyle: I have a plan that might get us on. If we gather a big enough group of infected, we can cut open one of em, smear their guts on us and blend into the crowd, without being attacked or seen.
Kyle starts to walk ahead, the others following behind.
John: Uh....how do you know that'll work?
Kyle: I don't, but I'm willing to test it out.
Sarah: It could work....right, Kyle?
Kyle: What do you mean?
Sarah: I'm just saying; how do we know that it will work?
Kyle: We ask Kayla.
Anna: What about after we get everyone home? I mean, the raiders'll just come attack us again. What then?
Sarah starts to say something when Kyle stops and grabs Sarah's arm, up ahead they can see someone chopping some wood.
Shawn: Hide, quick!
All five of them hide behind trees and bushes. Sarah looks over at the person for a moment, before Shawn speaks.
Shawn: Is that a raider?
Sarah turns to Shawn and Kyle.
Kyle: Gotta be. You all stay here. I'll see if she knows anything that could help us.
Sarah: You sure?
Kyle nods at Sarah, before he walks out from behind the tree and sneaks up behind the person as he pulls out his Zeus Corps machete. Kyle gets up behind the person and raises his machete to the person's neck.
Kyle: Drop it. Now.
The person drops the axe.
Kyle: Where do you keep the people you steal?
Melanie: I don't know what you're—
Kyle moves the blade a little closer to Melanie's neck.
Kyle: I'm not fucking around. Answer the question or I'll cut your goddamn throat.
Melanie: The brig. Boiler room.
John's eyes widen.
John: Holy shit....
John stands up.
Shawn: Hey, what are you doing, man?
John: I know her!
John runs up to Kyle.
John: Kyle, stop!
Melanie gets out of Kyle's grip and turns to look at him.
John: Hey, Melanie.
John steps forward and Melanie hugs him.
Melanie: After the attack, I wasn't sure if you all made it...I mean, I heard they burned half of Berrington down. Who survived? Peter? Brigg? Kale? Josh? Morgan? My sister? Did Alicia make it?
Anna: Peter, Morgan and Alicia made it. My uncle, Brie and Zeke didn't. And Josh and Kale, they died.
Shawn, Anna and Sarah come up to Melanie as well. Melanie places her hand over her face for a moment then looks up.
Melanie: How's Alicia? She still drawing?
Shawn: What?
Melanie: My sister was such a creative artist. She drew me one of the most detailed horses ever. She drew my tattoo design.
Kyle: Yeah, she's still drawing if that's what you're concerned about.
Melanie glares at Kyle, Shawn and Sarah.
Melanie: Shawn, Sarah....and Kyle Desipich. The man who took over Berrington after Laura died. It's weird, I thought everyone would want to make their own choices, not have a bunch of newcomers make the choices for them.
Sarah: Do you have a problem with that?
Melanie: Yes, I have a problem with it, bitch. Your so called "leadership" is going to get my little sister killed.
Kyle: Excuse me?
Melanie: Griffin figured he could talk Laura into handing everyone over, like he and Wes did...like they did before...but you and your people fucked up the plan.
John: What the hell are you talking about? Laura traded you and Colleen like it was nothing!
Melanie: Yeah, and we both survived it. Laura wouldn't have never made them fight, the way you and your people did. She wouldn't have gotten people killed.
Melanie continues to glare at Kyle, Shawn and Sarah.
Anna: That is bullshit. Kyle saved our lives.
Melanie: Really? Then how come so many people are dead?
Kyle: She wouldn't have gotten people killed? Laura murdered her own husband!
Melanie: What?
Melanie stares at Kyle.
Melanie: Hunter.....Damon and Griffin....where are they? I heard you captured them.
Kyle: Well, Griffin and Damon dead.....but we still have the other boy.
Melanie: You people killed Damon? A fucking kid?
Kyle: Should've been as cooperative as Hunter.
Melanie sighs.
John: Wait, Melanie.....where's Colleen?
Melanie: She...uh...she died protecting us. A hero.
Peter and Anna look upset.
Sarah: A hero? You're lying, you—
Wes: Melanie!
Sarah: Shit.
Kyle grabs Sarah's hand as everyone scrambles and hides again.
Melanie: Baltimore.
Kyle and Sarah hide behind a tree.
Wes: How come you're not answering your radio?
Melanie: Sorry. I....I was occupied.
Wes: Well, finish up and head back. I want to be in before dark.
A few seconds of silence.
Melanie: Yes, sir.
As Wes leaves, Melanie picks up her axe then walks over to Sarah and Kyle.
Melanie: Our boat leaves for San Francisco in three days, then it'll be a couple weeks before we can come back for the rest of your people. When we do, do not fight us. The only way you can save your people is to let us take them. I'm serious. Don't fight us on this.
Kyle: If Alicia could see you now, she'd be ashamed of you.
Melanie looks down at the ground, before she runs off. All of them come out of their hiding places as John looks down in sadness.
Shawn: You good, man?
John: It doesn't matter. Not one little bit. We still have to get onto that boat.
Shawn: Goddamn right we do.
At the boat, Tobin talks with Wes.
Tobin: Wes, if I may speak.
Wes: Go ahead, Lieutenant.
Tobin: If Griffin or Damon talk, I know we'll have to kill him, but if Hunter talks....well, you know the penalty.
Wes sighs.
Wes: Hunter's too weak. Too fragile. He won't speak. Even these people are a thorn in my side, but Hunter luckily is weak willed.
Tobin: You gonna kill the boy if he talks.
Wes: If he does, I'll kill him myself.
In Berrington, James brings Hunter into his home.
Hunter: You live here?
James: Yeah...just me and my wife.
Cassandra: James?
James: It's me, babe.
Cassandra walks to the front door to find James and Hunter.
Cassandra: Uh....
James: Oh, babe. This is Hunter. He's going to be staying with us for a little bit.
Cassandra: Hi.
Hunter: Hey....
Cassandra: Why is he—
James: Kyle ordered me to keep an eye on him.
Cassandra folds her lips.
Cassandra: Uh-huh.
Cassandra turns to James.
Cassandra: Can I talk to you for a minute, babe?
James walks up to Cassandra and the two walk to another room and talk in private.
Cassandra: Is Kyle fucking serious?!
James: I know. I don't like it either, but hey, it is what it is.
Cassandra: You could've said no, James!
James: I could've but the kid is scared. He's fifteen.
Cassandra: He's also one of those assholes.
James: I know, but....look, something tells me I had to do this. I just did.
Hunter knocks on the door and walks in.
Hunter: Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I understand your suspicion of me. I'm not going to cause any trouble.
Cassandra: Hey, look, kid. I'm sure you mean well, but you were just shooting at us last night. Don't think I'll play nice.
Hunter gives a guilty look.
Hunter: I know...
Cassandra walks away, before James walks up to Hunter.
James: Hey, look, kid. What if I say you could sneak out of here, take your shit and just leave Berrington. Never come back. Tell Kyle I never saw you that you fucking ran away or some shit. What do you think?
Hunter sighs.
Hunter: Look, James....Um....I don't want cause any problems for the people here. So I think I'm just going to ride it out. See what happens.
James nods.
James: Okay.
James sets Hunter up on the couch in the living room. Hours later, Sarah is looking out the window as Kyle walks up to her. Rachel then sits in the shed behind Kyle and Sarah's house, contemplating. Shawn holds Kayla on the couch while Rocky and Margaret are laughing and socializing.
