Could be out here shooting for days. Good to know. Hmm. What kind is this infected? Hmm, hard to say. Got clothes on, but they're pretty ragged. I'd say first gen. Used to be human, but was turned in the last few years. Hmm. Seen a lot of those on this road. I wonder if it has anything to do with us being so close to the UA border. People coming out here to scavenge for supplies or old tech. We're only like 20 miles from the Mississippi River? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. You ever been there? The UA? UA? No. Her parts of it were nice the further in you go. Most of the states don't even have to deal with the infected anymore. Must be nice. But they still have their own issues, you know, conflicts between states over resources, food shortages. And how do you know that? Oh, I overheard a few of them talking in prim. The ultra rich would fly out, spend their money and go back home. The UA has strict laws against the kind of games Bo ran. Oh, good. At least they got that right. Generally, they rarely venture past their own borders. UA maintains some of the railroads in farmland in the red zone, but that's about it. So probably wouldn't get involved with the Republic if there was a conflict, would they? Most of the functioning oil refineries are in the Republic. There's no way they would risk upsetting such a powerful economic partner. Hmm. Figures. What else do you know? Didn't hear much in Westport. I mean, I know we used to trade with the UA via the rail lines, but that's about it. A little here and there. United America has 22 states east of the Mississippi. Their capital is in Bristol. Well, you don't need to give me a history lesson. I know all of that. But like, what do you know that others don't? Oh boy, you would have to be a little more specific. Like, where did most of the people come from that went to Prim? Like, which states in the UA? Oh, Mariana for sure. Lots of gambling already there. But, you know, they like the high stakes. Warnock, Eden, our two others. We had visitors from every state, but those were the most common, for sure. Oh, one more. Hold up. 19. Hey Nick, are you sure this is the best way? We have to stay on the road? Oliver drew out the best route on this map with the least amount of infected and obstructions. So far, he's been right. Besides, we have a long way to go and I am not tromping through all that brush, ticks, mud, all kinds of places for infected, wild animals. I mean, who knows what else could pop out. At least on the road, we could see things coming from a distance. And they could see us. Man, I'd rather deal with that. You know, back in Prim, the one place we didn't get many people from was Westport. Even though you were the closest state compared to others. Doesn't surprise me. We got pretty good people there. CJ runs a tight ship. That's who was in charge? Yep, and she's also... What? Never mind. It doesn't even matter. You don't trust me? Not that. It's just operational security, you know? Oh, so you don't? Look, I've been burned bad recently. My friends I thought I could trust. And I mean, I've only known you so long and... You understand, right? Um, yeah. Yeah, uh, that makes sense. CJ is Vera's mom, alright? Really? High profile position like that in her daughter still serves as a guardian? Vera wanted to. Ever since she was little, she had to be involved. That's just who Vera is. Wow, no wonder you never told anyone. If the boy knew... Luckily she didn't. And I'm sure the people Vera's with now? No, so... Honestly, it doesn't even matter anymore. Well, I appreciate you telling me. Mm-hmm. What's it like back home in Westport? I don't really know much about it. Is it safe? Safe? Yeah. Probably the safest place you could be. Big-ass walls surrounding the entire city state. We're talking 50 feet high and wide enough to drive a truck on. I mean, they actually do. Moving mounted guns around the perimeter, it's crazy. That make sense. We'll cover more ground that way, mobile defenses. I mean, since I was a kid, I'd practice shooting infected from up there on the walls. Honestly, it's how I got so good at it. There's also a few outer fences past that and other smaller walls inside if anything got past the first line defenses, so... Yeah, I'd say it's pretty damn secure. Wow. Has anything ever got in? Rarely. Only times I've heard of is when some idiot snuck in infected body parts, then turned mishandling them. Aside from that, we haven't lost anyone, so I'd say we're pretty lucky. And, uh, living there? What's that like? You and your questions. If I'm gonna end up there, I wanna know what to expect. It's where I grew up. It's all I've ever known, so... how would I know any different? But in Westport, you can do what you want, eat what you wish, go where you wanna go, go shopping? For the most part, yeah. Military service used to be mandatory, but they got rid of that too, not too long ago. So many people showed up in the last few years. It's not even an issue now. You get to be who you want, as long as you follow the rules. And who sets those? I don't know. The council? The elected people, I guess? Whoa. That's so cool. Is it? I mean, just the idea of the people controlling the people, it's weird. I guess for you, maybe. I'm excited. What can I say? Already the most free will I've ever had in my life is my time with you. That's pretty sad, Will. Well, look, we're gonna change that. But first, we gotta do some things. Hey, I understand. And I am all in. I'm able to do what I want now, and I choose to follow you, right? How ever far you wanna go. How, uh... how you been feeling, by the way? Uh, you know, legs are sore. I'm more tired than I've ever been, but I can do this. No, I mean with the other thing. Uh, still nauseous, but sweating it out seems to help. Good. Good to hear it. What about you? Anything from your, you know, the bite? Um, nothing. I'm fine. It's mostly healed. It's just, the whole thing is kinda crazy. You know, I still can't wrap my head around it. You are immune. Only a living person who can claim that. Yeah, um, learning to live with it myself. Didn't know for sure until this, but I guess now I do. It does make me wonder something. What's that? If you're immune, right, does that mean that there's some way that you could help others be, too? When I was young, they did tests with my grandmother and me back in Westport. Took a lot of blood. Tried a bunch of different things. They spent years doing that, but nothing ever came of it, so... Well, maybe they just didn't know what they were doing. It seems like they did. Lots of tests or whatever. Finally, doctors told me about a year ago, whatever makes me special can't be shared with anyone else. Well, I mean, part of me wonders if there's still a chance, you know? Man, look, I can only get poked so many times for it not to mean something. Well, so then what if... Will, relax, okay? I'm done with all of that. Alright? Just gotta deal with what I am. Okay? Yeah, yeah, of course. Sorry, just curious. Oh, another. Add another mark. Hey, hey, you know, I could try to shoot the next one with my MP5 if you want, you know, for practice. No, no, no. Save your ammo. That's better for up close anyways. Huh. Another first gen. Well, what happens if we encounter something different? Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Speaking of bridges, this must be the Red River. Ugh, should be the Brown River. I meant, what if we encounter something that our guns don't work on? Tanya's journal describes some fourth and fifth generations having skins so thick that even bullets aren't effective. I mean, we've already seen some of those. What's your point? Well, we do have something that could make a difference, the mod-a-pistol I made. Now, it's out of ball bearings and the gases are low, but if we could stop somewhere, I saw an old hardware store not far from here. Look, most of those places aren't going to have much. I'm sure they were already picked clean. But what if they weren't? Right now, I don't think we have the time. Where we're at on the map, we're not even halfway there, and the train passes through tomorrow afternoon. So we step it up, make time. Here, you take a look, okay? You're better at this stuff than I am. You tell me how long it'll take to get to the train. Let's see, I, um... Oh boy. Is it that bad? Oliver said that we could make it in time. At our rate, it is possible, but only if we don't stop walking, even through the night. You're shitting me. I wish I was. Un-fucking-believable. If I had known it was this far, I would have asked for a truck or something. Like those family goons would have given us one anyways. What if we weren't supposed to make it on time? What are you saying? That this is a setup? Maybe. They wanted to get rid of us, didn't even give us transportation for this death march. Do we even know that that's when the train comes through? And you're just now bringing this up? I'm only asking questions. Yeah, damn good ones we should have asked earlier. Listen, listen, I could be wrong, right? We didn't know what our pace was going to be, we didn't know how long we were going to stop for breaks, didn't calculate the weight of our weapons, our packs. Okay, okay, okay, I get it, okay? Well look, it's too late now, so... I take it you want to keep going? Look, train or not, we're headed south. I have to go southeast eventually, so no matter what, we're going the right way. Still, this road has been pretty quiet, so maybe there's some truth to what Oliver said. I'm gonna hold on to that at least for now. Oh, that's... I know, I know. You can stop counting. Well, you take point, I'll cover the rear. Well, you take point, I'll cover the rear. I'll cover the rear. Nick. Yeah? I didn't want to say anything, but I don't think I can walk a whole lot more. Well, I'm glad one of us said something. It wasn't gonna be me, but for real, I'm beat. How are you gonna catch the train then? No way around it, we'll just have to wait for the next one, I guess. There's always another, right? I'm sure there will be. So... So then we need to find a place to spend the night, right? Uh-huh. I'd rather not travel in the dark anyways. It's a lot harder to see something coming at you. I'm sorry, I know you were set on getting to your mom as fast as possible. Yeah. Marksville, Louisiana. Well, should we set up camp in town? Why not? Okay, what should we look for? Where would be best? Some place higher, a rooftop, second floor. Anywhere we could put some distance between us and them with good visibility. Most of these buildings are one story. Everything's kind of flat here. I've noticed. It's not like my LA, that's for sure. What? What? Oh, Louisiana, I get it. Okay, looks like this town has a water tower. That high enough? Got a catwalk around it near the top? Yeah, I don't know about spending a whole night 30 feet in the air on some rally. It's high enough that the infected won't bother us. Let's just keep looking. Nick, I'm seeing something else. Well, I hope it's better than the water tower. It's not. There's some bodies on the ground up ahead. Alright, stay sharp. Take it slow. Oh, there's a bunch. They're all spread out. I'm seeing that bullet holes scattered around the buildings here too. This was a shootout. Oh boy. Easy, man. Focus and breathe. I'm trying. We may not need to worry. This happened a long time ago. They're decomposed, maybe in six months. Well, in Prim, I saw bodies decay over time when they were left in the arenas. It's gross, but helpful to know now. Decomposition references. Well, whoever it was, they were ambushed. More dead first gen infected too. The people they attacked had uniforms on. Oh, man. This was their truck. It's all smashed in. Big, uh, dead third or fourth gen infected over here. That was a muck record for sure. Its skin isn't even fully decomposed yet. What do you think happened exactly? It wasn't just one-on-one. This infected's body was completely crushed in. They were having an all-out brawl. Everything and everyone at once. These uniformed guys have IDs. This one was a contractor for the UA. Same with this dude. They definitely weren't prepared for this. They were armed, fought back, tried to escape, but their truck was stopped. The whole front end is flat. There was no way out. The infected fought each other and the UA people? Mm-hmm. That big muck there has some infected claw scratches in its skin and bullet holes. Barely did any damage. Look at that hide. They couldn't take it down with guns. Massive hyperkeratosis. What'd you say? Keratin growths. I learned about it in one of my bio books. It's fairly common among infected. Hardens and thickens the skin. See, that's what I was worried about. Bullets can't penetrate this. It wasn't the UA that finished it off either. It must have been another infected. Massive bruising along the skin. The skull is concave. Your grandma wrote about behavior like this. Remember? They're very territorial. A bigger muck raker had to have done this. Fighting another over the kill. Infected, killing other infected. As long as it's not us. Must have been so massive. They did this just to fight over the bodies? And in the end, still left them all behind to rot. No, maybe not all. There's blood stains over here. Some were dragged off. Not that any of this matters now. We should keep walking till we find another spot to stay for the night. In my matter, what about their weapons, these rifles and ammo? I mean, those have sat outside exposed to the elements. See, showing spots of rust. Not worth trusting your life with. And we have enough ammo. Don't care to add more weight. What about their uniforms? We need to board a UA train, right? Should look the part? You want to wear their nasty ass gear after they've been decomposing in it? Well, what if they had spares? A change of clothes? Maybe that would come in handy. Nice. What size are you? Large. Long. Okay, put the shirt and pants in your bag. And we have their IDs as well. We can use those. Who do you want to be? We got Jess Forrester or Chris Danes. You look more like a Chris. What's thinking the same thing, Jess? Anything else useful in there? Not really. Unless... What are you looking for down there? A blessing in disguise. Wait, is that... No. The fuel tank has a lot left in it. It's not sludge like the rest of the ones sitting out here. This gas is still fresh. I mean, yeah, but we can't drive this truck, obviously. No, no, but if it has one other crucial part... Give me a hand with this. Bingo! Car battery's still intact. So we're driving? We don't have to walk? We gotta find the right car under the ideal conditions. It's not that simple just to get anything running. Yeah, but you can do it, right? You worked in the motor pool in Prim, right? I mean, you said that before. Yeah, yeah, I mean... Okay, I need some additional parts and it'll take some time, but I can probably do it. Gotta move quick before we lose light, but are you sure you want to hang around? You see what happened here? Yeah, that was a long time ago. Things change. Look, we'll keep an eye out and play it careful. Okay, so you're good with this plan? Oh, yes. We just need to find a car around here that'll work, right? Yup. Let's go car shopping. Let's go car shopping. Ooh, ooh, look at this one. Not in bad shape. On the outside, on the inside... The engine is a rat's haven. Ugh, nasty. Oh, this one looks pretty new. Too new. We don't want fuel injection. Too many parts to replace. Ugh, is this one old enough for you? Hmm, yeah, hmm, could work. Too bad there's already someone driving it. Ugh, yikes. How long do you think they've been in there? Long enough to look for another option. How about something red, fast... And flash. The driveshaft is sitting on the ground. Are you even looking at these cars? Ugh, fine. Will, your turn. Let's take a look in that garage. The blue house over there. And what makes you so sure about that one? A hunch. Damn! Wow! There. That's alright. A 64 Chevy Nova wagon. Oh, that's a pretty rare find even for back then. And now Will, how the hell did you know this would be in this garage? Those old car parts sitting on the side of the house. Owner was definitely working on something and this is something. Now it ain't new, but damn sure looks good. Okay, I've been sitting in here for over 17 years. Hasn't been exposed to the outdoor elements. Let's just hope it's not missing anything. Woo! Found the keys on a hook over here. That'll make things easier. And let's see, it's stick shift. Good so far. Can you drive manual? Manual. I mean, kinda. My Uncle Vic let me drive his car a few times. You know, I'm not the greatest, but I can do it. Okay, not too bad. Carbureted engine, downdraft system. And it's not frozen. See here. Fuel tank is empty too. That's good. So what I'm hearing is that you can make it work. I think so. I'll need to replace a few things, spark plugs, check the seals, maybe have to rig some sort of trickle charge, you know, for the battery. But yeah, by morning we'll be driving. Woo hoo! We will be driving. But we gotta move fast. Siphon the gas from the smashed car, remove the battery, and get back here before dark. I saw an auto parts store back in town where we could get some small stuff, and luckily looks like there's enough tools here already. Cool, cool, cool. So we do all of that and we'll be able to make it to this train on time, right? With this? Oh yeah. With plenty to spare. Music to my ears, Will. You're a genius. No compliments yet.

Hey babe, we seriously need to come back here together. You'd love Morocco. We went hiking in the Atlas Mountains yesterday. Got you a little something from the market too. Mainly so I could use some of my 22 gaugey baggage. Hiya! Hi Ellie! Anyways, I hope you're all good. I'll bail you later on the Wi-Fi. I want to show you the hotel. It's like a proper Riyadh with a spa. Miss you! 22 kilograms of baggage included. Nothing beats Jet 2. Subject to availability in editions. And now we continue with Descendants. Now remember Vera, for every test you fail you will need to repeat the previous training course. I know. Are you sure you're ready? Can I start? Begin. Okay. Does this have to be timed? Everything is. In this test, pin tumbler locks have various lengths. You need to get them all to the shear line if you hope to turn the plug. I know, I know. Use your tools, that's what they're there for. If you turn the tension wrench when it's not ready you'll break it. Not like that. If that one isn't working, move on to your rake pick. Just, I almost have it. I can, I can feel it. It's going to break. No, no it's not. Oh really? Looks like it's going to snap to me. No, it won't. Hmm, very good Vera. Now on to the next lock type. They get harder with each set. I feel ridiculous. Disguises are an onion. Each component is like a transparent layer, but when applied together you are meant to disappear. Really? Facial hair too? When someone were to describe you, the real you. We would want every way they could to be wrong. It's not always about looking like someone else, more about not looking like you anymore. Hair is one of the first things someone notices. Where do I put this? Over your teeth. To hide yours and change the profile. Weird. And where does this part go? The palate of your mouth. It will forcibly change the way you speak. Like this? Oh wow, how could anyone use this? You get used to it after a while and relearn how to speak. Disguises aren't just about facial appearance, but how you dress and carry yourself. You're every move and especially how you were hurt. Whoa. Aim, pull back and let it slide through your fingers. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Grip the knives like you're shaking someone's hand. Aim, pull back and once your arm gets to here, let the knife slide out. Let the blade do the work for you. Now you do it. Don't rush. Take your time. Hey, that's one. Yeah, now get all the knives there. Oh boy. Nope, nope, that's not it. Wrong. Try again. Ugh. The cipher shifts based on the calendar day. Run the calculations and send the message again. Isn't there like a program or something you can make for this? And we have them. But if and when you find yourself in a place and need to contact the family with someone else's radio. The only tool you'll have is your head. Ugh, does that happen a lot? How do you think Vincent was able to contact us from the plane? Think about it. And encrypted Morse code is the only way we can use open channels. It's life or death. Stop bitching. Now keep memorizing. You're doing quite well actually. Ugh. It's shit like my granny did. She's dead. Now come on, pick it up. You want faster? Fine. Me? Uh oh. You've been spotted. Let her get out of that kill zone. Ugh. Oh shit. Ugh. You're not seriously shooting at me are you? Shooting at you? Yes. Seriously? Not really. Whoa. Ugh. You're doing great Vera. Only one more module left for the day. You promise? You? Miss me? Why are you one of my instructors? You forget that I'm a full member. I went through all this too. Came out with a few uh, specialties. Oh really? And what is yours? Deception. Ugh, I should have guessed. That is something you are qualified for. Now now, you might want to play nice. This module includes a few perks on my end. Go ahead and have a seat and strap that around your wrist. A lie detector? Really? Among other things. Now go on. Do I have to? It's all part of the process. Vincent will treat you like any other instructor would. Right Vincent? Of course. I think you understand the point of this. The idea is to deceive me. Convince me. Establish a baseline of your normal self. What is your reality? And try to maintain that. Are you ready to begin? Yes. Good. Now. Where are you from? Westport. Ow! What the hell? The idea is to lie to me. Try again. Who are you and where are you from? Eileen Haymes. Organ. Ow! That was so obviously a lie. Try again. Confident and with specifics. Know your deception before you tell it. Again. My name is Kylie Walter. I'm from Lenore Village in New Vermont. I'm a tourist. Lie. Ow! Is that really necessary? Only when I think you're lying. How would you even know? That machine does. No need to check it. Every bit of your face reveals either your authenticity or a fabrication. If you believe it, I will too. Breathe normally and try again. What do you do? I'm a personal trainer. Ow! You touched your arm. It's a pacifier movement. Maintain your baseline like I told you. Did you take my money? Of course I didn't take your money. Ow! Did not. Not didn't. Syntax shortening provides an easy insight to a lie. Every time? How would you even know that? Witness interrogations and enough experience. It becomes like second nature. So you do this a lot. Where were you last night? I was in my room. Doing what? Sharpening my sword. What? That wasn't a lie. You actually did that. How would you know? Because I can tell. Again, the point of this is to teach you how to lie under pressure. Convince me its truth. Vera, do you enjoy being part of the family? It's growing on me. Very good. We'll continue. It was nice training with you. Fuck off. You have to expect to get a little hurt in the exercises, right? What was the point of that? And with him? I didn't learn anything. Oh, I think you did. By the end there, you started to look and sound convincing. You saw all of that? Have you been watching? A few of us have. Your evaluators. Overall, you're doing well. How much more of this is there? Hard to say. You have to pass all these modules before your final test. And what is that going to be? It's different for everyone. Yours has yet to be determined. But you'll get there. I'm confident. I don't know who you were watching, but I've gotten my ass kicked so far. That's the point. And this is just the start. So it gets harder? Why? Thinking of quitting? You understand this initiation is all a choice. You can back out anytime. I'm not quitting. That's what I thought. Giving up is not in your blood. You know, I've waited for this for a long time. You being here and all. Started to think it might not ever happen. Didn't want to imagine the alternatives. That your bloodline wouldn't live on. Is that it? Selfishly, yes. But there's a lot more to it than that. Things that have been going on for some time, the changes on the horizon. Part of the reason I watched you with him in there. Vincent? I wanted to see how he responds to you. What he truly thinks of you being here. You don't trust him either? But you played it off. Who do you think used to be the instructor for this module? When everyone here knows how to lie, how can anyone possibly understand what the truth is? Honestly, I'm surprised he brought you back here at all. I don't understand. Vincent. Nice work in there. Top of the master. I only hope I did alright. A few more sessions and you might think Vera actually enjoys this. Ha. I'm heading back for dinner. You going there too? I have something pressing for now. But I'm sure Vera is hungry. Yeah, sure. After today, you'd have to be. Again, nice work. You know all those jolts I gave you? That's all part of this training. I'm only doing what's required. Uh-huh. You should have seen my wrist after my first session with your pops. He wasn't the head of the families back then, but it didn't matter. He was brutal. In the end, I learned a lot. The process lets you focus on the flaws, programs them out. Did it feel like that's what you were doing? Ha, don't be like that. Look, we got along before. Before I knew who you really were. Even now, I don't even know. That's the point of all this, right? Deception and lies. You may not believe it, but once I found out who you really were, I can't tell you how excited I was. Uh-huh. Right. No, really. After the outbreak, there's not many in the next generation. There's so few of us left now. We need good family members to help shore up the walls. Be damned to let it all cave in after we've been around for so long. So you really believe in all this? The rules, the facade, the black and white? Sure. I may be biased. I grew up in it. Surrounded me at every moment of my life. And yet, the things you get to see and feel, the experience, the power, it's unlike anything else in the world. Even after the rest of the world ended, we're still here. What's left, anyway? But what has the family actually done? I hear talks about all these influences throughout history. And yet, looking around, how it continues and survives, it's living in the past. What about what's going on out there now? Maybe you are starting to understand this place after all. It does need to change. Fresh blood will do it some good. That's what everyone keeps telling me. After you. Where do you want to sit? You know what? Nakoma is up in our room and hasn't eaten all day. I was gonna get mine to go. So yourself. See you tomorrow, Vera. Hey. Will. Hey, hey, man. I hate to wake you up, but it's getting late. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, easy. Oh, didn't remember where I was for a moment there. Seems even higher in the day. Really, the tallest place in the whole town. You were right, though. At least it was safe up here. With that ladder lock, ain't nothing was gonna scale the water tower. We, uh, we getting down now? Yeah. Here, I'll unhook you. Ugh. I did not get enough sleep last night. Between finishing the repairs and being up here. Yeah, me neither. You think that the car's ready? Trigletargers should have got enough light by now. Battery hopefully has enough voltage to start the engine. Nothing else left that you gotta do, right? You're sure? Well, that was the last thing, but no way of knowing it all worked until we turned it over. Ugh. Sounds pretty quiet, at least. No infected other than that ambush site. With all the racket you were making in the garage last night, I thought for sure you would draw something in. Yeah, yeah, we were lucky. Let's hope it holds out. Ugh. Oh, man, that eye. It beat. You know what? We get that thing running. You may be able to sleep a bit while I'm driving to the train. Or, if we get to the tracks early, I'll keep watch. Oh, man. That would be great. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, shit! Back, back, back, back! Do you think it's us? No. Still wandering around by the garage. Looking for something. Um, maybe it smells where we were. So, oh boy, I'm so glad that we spent the night up in the water tower. Oh, shit. That's one big-ass muckraker. Do you think it's the one that killed all the others? I mean, it could be. It looks pretty scarred up. So what? What, we wait? Back off and see if it goes away? What if it's waiting for us? Then we don't let it find us. It'll get bored and wander off. I mean, we only have so long. We can risk a little time, but we need to get moving to the rail line. So what are we gonna do if it doesn't leave? Walk the rest of the way? No, no, no. If we miss the train, we'd end up stuck by the tracks for days, so maybe the next one passes through. But all while other infected can come around and pick us off. Nah. If that muckraker's gonna get between us and our ride, we have no choice. We're gonna have to take that fucker out. To be continued in the next episode of Where Alive? Descendants.
