How long is it going to just stay in there? It's totally waiting for us. It knows we're here. Not all the big ones are dumb. If we go for the car and it smashes it like the other game over. Alright, alright, alright. So one of us gets the car and the other deals with the muck raker. So I'm driving now? I mean you can, right? Not too well. They let me fix them. Not really drive them and it's stick shift. So what now Will? Do you want to deal with the infected? What if the car doesn't start? Okay then we're wasting even more time. Head around the other side of the street. I'm gonna pull him away. You get to the garage when it's clear. With any luck I'll hit the soft spots in the neck and take it down. The last big ones weren't that fast so hopefully I can give us enough space and time to loop back. You just gotta get the car started. Okay, that's a plan. Alright, get moving to the corner and wait for me to shoot. Got it. Breathe. Aim. And pull. Damn it! This one's thick around the neck too! Follow me you swamp fucker! Come on now! Put your hands down! It's fucking blocking my shots! Hurry up Will! Oh man, okay I better have enough charge now. No, no, no, no, no, no! Come on! Keep charging for hours! Come on! It's not the battery. Not now! You can't focus Will! Focus! What is it? What is it? It's gotta be the starter. It's not the only thing left! It's gotta be the starter! Will! It's not working is it? Don't answer that! I already know! Come on! Stay on me swamp thing! They couldn't take you down before! Is that right? Need this thing for miles! This is your town, isn't it? Will! I'm gonna try and circle back around the block! Damn it! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This was not the right way! Oh no! Will! I'm trapped! I can't get over the fence! Shit! Hide in the suburban! What? That won't help! Just do it! Oh god! Oh god! What do I do? What do I do? Okay, focus! Focus! Focus Will! He needs you! I have to take it down! I have to stop it! The monopistol! That's the only thing! It has to work! Okay! Oh! There's barely any air in the tank! Yeah! Enough for maybe one shot! But I need a ball bearing! Or there's gotta be something in here! Son of a bitch! I'm gonna not let this be the end of me! Fucker! Fucker! You got you! Finally! Oh, oh, oh no! I can't! I can't move! I can't move! This was not bad! I did it! No! Hold on! Just hold on! It's almost there! Yeah! It helped! It helped! The back seat is pushing against you! Here! On three! I pry! And then you pull as hard as you can on the chain, okay? Holy shit! Holy shit! Oh my god! I was so fucking scared! I didn't think I'd be able to get you out! You were wet shit in there, good! Yeah! The... the fuck fucker! Modipixel! I had just enough for one shot left! Found a wheel bearing! I just didn't think it was gonna work! But... You were right! We should have stopped and fixed that thing up a long time ago! Oh man! No go on the car? The starter isn't turning over! I keep trying, but... We got more companies! Go! Do we... do we run for it? I mean, I mean, that sounds like a lot more than we might be able to handle! How far would we even get? Let me try one last thing with the car! All right, Will! One chance! That's all that we have! Man, they must have heard that the territory was up for grabs now that the swamp thing is dead! Like... like it was keeping others away? Yeah! It makes sense why we haven't seen any others in town! Okay... Get in! Turn the key when I say! You ready? Now! Get the... get the... Get the... get the... Really? That's your plan? Hitting it? Just keep trying! Again! Will! Start, you son of a bitch! Holy shit! You did it! You... No! Come on! Give us a break! I gotta... I gotta... Start a food... in the carburetor! We gotta go, Will! One last try! Yeah! Now keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times! Might need a new paint job now, but listen to that, baby! Parn! You did it, Will! Okay! I think I'm gonna be sick! Oh! No, no, no! Look, I got this now! Shit, man! You've done enough and I cannot believe it, honestly! You okay? Right? They didn't get you or bite you? No, no, no! Just, uh... that was a lot! Yeah! And it's... it's all catching up now! Well, you get to sit back, breathe, relax, it's all over now! We got ourselves a ride! Woo! That was crazy! Okay, so where are we going? Where's the map? Uh... Will, where's the map for the rail line? The one that Oliver drew for us. Don't... don't tell me that. It's in the garage. Oh! No shit! No shit! Uh... well, we ain't going back. Uh... 115 to 71 to 759 to 103 East. That'll take us south to the rail line! Wait a minute, you remember all of them? I stared at the map long enough, didn't take much to memorize, didn't think I'd have to. I'm gonna write that down so you don't forget. I could be wrong, but I'll put together the pieces when we see the roads. So, I guess maybe you can't sit back and rest then? Nope. Well then, hopefully you'll be able to sleep on the train. Do you really think that'll be possible? Hmm, probably not. Well, we'll rest when we're dead, Nick. Rest when we're dead. Yeah, damn straight.

What's up, Daddy-O? Is Vera awake? You want me to check? Fine. Vera! Wake up! Godfather's here! Funny. Gotta get my kick somehow locked in this room? Training is until eight. Why are you here so early? This can't wait. If today is any bit like yesterday, I'd be better off getting as much sleep as I can. Come with me. Is everything okay? Yes, we just need to do this now. I made a promise. What is it? Just follow me, Vera. Fine, don't say, whatever. Nakoma, you know you can leave, right? Anytime you want. I'm working up to it. What promise? Now or never. You wanted to call home, didn't you? I can? But we have to hurry. Why such a rush all of a sudden? Our window is closing. I have our contact set to receive this and relay to CJ. Wait, I thought I was gonna be able to call home. You are, but it'll be more like leaving a message. That is hardly what you promised. There was any other way I would. This is all I can do. You want to talk to her or not? I do. Then have a seat. This'll take a second. You need your ring for this? It gives me access to sending code and messages. The ring is also the cipher key. Those are a lot fancier than I thought. Yeah, we'll either keep up with the times or end up getting buried in the past. We don't have much time. Would you enter the Mullins code from the book? Oh, um, sure. A lot faster than my hunting and pecking. Westport officers have to do a lot of typing. What can I say? It's ready. This mic? Yes, and be careful what you say. Nothing about where we are or any of this. I understand. And try to be gentle with what you tell her. I know your mom tends to overreact. Oh, do you? And you can explain you're with me. Got it. And maybe have that spend. Okay. And if it comes up that I had no choice to leave. You sure you don't want to talk to her? Sure. It's recording. Oh geez, already? Hi, mama. I'm safe. I want you to know that. At least now I am. After we left, we were captured and taken to Prim, a slaver city on the Nevada border. It's an awful place. They gamble on people fighting against infected. If you can do anything about it, please. But I know you have your hands full. You may already know all this, but Nick said Bert and the others were flying home and Alex is probably with them. So he'd be able to give you more details. We did lose a lot of the other guardians. Some at the crash site and one in the arena. Lisa Grant, if you can let her dad know. Nick, Nick, he's okay too. He knows about Michael and he's trying to get back to pegs, although we are a long way from her. What? That doesn't give our location away. I actually got to meet someone. We were brought together. Don't know if you're gonna be mad or happy about this. But I met Oliver. I know who that is now. You told her your real name, right? Yes, I did. Just tell her how much you care about her and you'll be home soon. Can I tell her about what I'm doing? No, not really. Can I just start over? It's transmitting now. You can't. Thanks for the warning. Um, there's a lot I'm gonna tell you once I get home. So many things that I can't now. But I think I would make you proud. I love you so much, Mama. And the minute I can be there, I will be. We got about 45 seconds left. And now Oliver wants to talk to you. What? No, I don't. In case you don't believe me, Dad? Dad! Hi, CJ. Vera's here. She's with me. And? And... What am I supposed to say? This is your call. I said my piece. Your turn. What? He has a lot to say to you. 17 years and 30 seconds. You better start talking. Um, hi. You think with all your expertise, you could handle something like this. Talk to her. So, Vera is great. I can see a lot of you in her. You should be very proud. I just, um... What if you always wanted to tell CJ it's now or never? What can I say? The last few days have reminded me of what it would have been like to have stayed behind with you and Vera. It was impossible to let go. So, I hope you forgive me. I've done whatever I could to try and still be a part of your lives even if it had to be from a distance. The choices I've made have never been easy. Many loaded with regret. But I'd never go back and change our time together. Meeting our daughter now. And seeing the kind of person she is. You are every bit of the parent I wish I could be. Out of all the things I've had to go through and all the kinds of people I've met, nothing would ever prepare me for... from meeting you. I miss you, CJ. And that's it. I'd lay it all out there. I'm glad you did. For me to hear anyway. You really miss her? All the truth. There was a time when I didn't want the life that led me back here. When I was with her, I wanted to be a part of what she was building. Maybe she'll know that now. Yeah, let's just see if this message goes over well or if I'm gonna end up with a bunch of Westport guardians hunting me down for the rest of my days. Do you know CJ after all? Mm-hmm. Why was there such a rush on this? We could have sent a transmission at any time, it seems like. No, not exactly. To upload something as big as an audio file, we had to make special arrangements and sending something intended for Westport of all places. It was better out of the purview of others. Like who? Well, you may not have noticed, but after you arrived, other members have returned to assist or oversee your initiation. And a few are still on their way. Some of these members of the family are not very fond of Westport because of our past dealings and how some of our secrets were published. And where? Oh, and in the story of survival? The family has talked about in there? Now, it's subtle, but enough. Why I was hesitant to make the promise in the first place, but I'm a man of my word. Are any of those members here now, the ones who don't like Westport? Mm-hmm. That's why you were watching me with Vincent. You don't trust him either. He was gone for quite a while, and his connections in the family run deep. There's a lot of questions that remain unanswered, but that's for me to worry about, not you. What if I helped? Maybe you don't have to do all of this alone anymore. Well, I'm glad to hear it. For now, you need to focus on your initiation. That's going to be difficult enough as it is. Are you sure? Let me be your father for once, and protect you from this. It's better for you to stay unbiased and on course. Speaking of, you need to get upstairs and get ready. You have another full day ahead of you. No chance in taking the morning off? You got me up early. Not really. Now, go on. Breakfast starts in ten minutes. If I have to. You march up to your bedroom right now, young lady. Fine, dad. I'll go get ready for school. What was that all about? It's nothing. It doesn't seem like nothing. What's going on? I need to get ready. Something doesn't feel right, does it? It's not that. I just... I need to get downstairs. Alright, don't tell me. But you know something's up. There's no way this family is telling you everything. Even your pops. He just wants me to focus on my training. Yeah, I don't think that's what's going on. I think. I don't want to talk about this right now with you. You forget I'm the only one here who doesn't bite into their bullshit. You need to start thinking of how you were going to get out of this place, before you're in too deep. What if I don't want that? You might not now. But later. I'm good. Thanks. Fine. Whatever. I guess it's just some things you're better off finding out for yourself. You're right. You're absolutely right. So, you change your mind? No. But some things are better off if I find them out myself. What does that mean? I'll bring you breakfast when I can, or have someone send it up. Oh gee. Thanks. I appreciate you trying to help, but I have this handled. Alright. That's what you want. I'll keep milking this free room and board. Good luck today with whatever it is you won't tell me. Thanks. I'll need it. I'm gonna get him to talk. Whether he wants to, or not. Wait. What do you say? Who? Vera. Who? To be continued in the next episode of We're Alive. Descendants.
