- Well, don't you
look like a bundle of fun!

So you're old school
Defense Force.

All that knowledge out there
and you limit it with one book.

- A lot of rubbish
is sold as knowledge.

I choose to be careful
where I get mine!

- You brought a message into
town for the Defense Force.

What is it?

- You the boss?

(dramatic music)

- What is the message?

This isn't like
the other cities,

a little picking here and
there and then we move on.

It may take us days or even
months but when it's weak.

(twigs cracking)



We're not leaving until
this city's finished!

- That's spooky!

(bright music)

(people chattering)

(horse harnesses jingling)

(ominous music)

- Somebody
call the fire company!

- Help, we need water!
- Hurry, help!

Help, help, hurry!

Help!

- Is there
anyone in there?

- There's six or seven,
but the door's jammed shut!

- Okay, let's do it
together, one, two three!

What about the fire company?

- They're down
on Third Street,

they won't be able to make it!

- It's not budging!

Here, help me with this!

- Hey, everybody get back,

they're trying to
get through the door!

- One, two, three!

(door thudding)

(door cracking)

Wait, let me go in, I used
to work for the fire company!

(dramatic music)

There's no people,
there's no furniture,

there's no nothing, (gasping)
the building's empty!

(somber music)

(people chattering)

- Tough luck, I call it.

- Probably
been too long.

(knuckles rapping)
(door creaking)

- Hi, Alec.
- Hi.

- I'll get Elsie.

What happened to you?

- There was a fire
down at the Quarter.

- Tell
me you didn't go in.

If you get hurt again, Alec,

there's no one to take
care of your sister.

- There was no
luck on jobs today.

- Nothing
even promising?

- Oh they all try to be nice.

Did seem a little stiff
at Richard and Sons.

- The paperhanger?

Bet that stirred the
talk around town.

- Yeah, I probably stirred
it up more down at the fire.

Came out of the building,
got a bit emotional.

What do you expect?

You lost your arm and
almost your life last time

you fought a fire.

Oh, if you'd have
gotten here earlier,

I had a notice for an
opening on Crown Street.

- What time does it close?

- 15
minutes, I think.

- I could take the back way.

- Nothing
good happens down there.

- I'll be fine, you mind
watching Elsie again?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Love you, Elsie.

(gentle music)

(bell tolling)

- I'm gonna
ask you again.

What is the message?

- Help!
- Quiet!

- Hey, what's
going on down here?

- Why don't you
find another way around?

- Hey, is that
a Defense Force agent?

- I said, move along!

(tense music)

We've got to get
him out of here.

There's too many people around.

You are trying my patience.

- You're
trying my patience too.

- Yeah, mine too.

- I'm gonna ask
you one last time.

What's the message?

(blow thuds)

(Boss thuds)

(dramatic music)

Do not let him get
to the Defense Force!

- What do they want?
- Right now, you and me!

(thugs grunting)

Quick, in here!

Get in!

(footsteps thudding)

- I saw a guy
in a mask like that

at a building fire today.

- Keep talking.

- Thing was, there was no fire.

Just lots of smoke.

When it cleared,
everything was gone,

desks, chairs,
people, everything.

- They must be up
to something new.

Got to get this
message to the CDF.

And you might have
a better chance.

- You want me to get it
to the Defense Force?

- The front entrance is guarded.

There's a back way.

CDF boat waiting
down at Front Street.

They can get you there.

Give it to the chief.

- "Raiders coming, New
Haven next target"?

- It's not just that,

you need to tell them
about the smoke and masks.

This is not a
normal raid, either.

They seem to have bigger
plans for the city.

You should join the CDF.

- Yeah, I'm not
sure they'd take me.

Plus, I've got a little
sister to watch out for

and not sure this would
be the best job for that.

- Everyone will be involved
before this is over.

If you join, this is invaluable.

- Just gonna get the
message through for now.

- Keep it, if I'm caught,
they'll throw it away, anyway.

(footsteps tapping)

(dramatic music)

- I heard something!

(door squeaking)

Is that a doily?

- Okay,
that's creepy!

(debris clattering)

(seagulls squawking)
(water lapping)

(door squeaking)

(engine puttering)

- Wait, I've got a message
for the Defense Force!

- Who are you?

- I have a message
that must get through

to the Defense Force!

- Hey, I didn't give you
permission to come on board!

You don't look like
an agent to me.

- I'm not, but one of your
agents gave me this message

before he was captured.

- Run!

- There's your agent!

- That thing in the doily?

I guarantee you that's
not one of our agents.

- Inifatige!

(engine puttering)

- Got
you, one armed man!

(Alec groaning)

- Hey, what did I miss?

There's the one-armed guy!

What?

(dramatic music)

I think he'll make it.

(water splashing)

- You know you
wanted to do that.

(engine puttering)

- Were those raiders?

What's with the masks?

- Something new, I guess.

Have you dealt with
these raiders before?

- They're the main
reason for the CDF.

Haven't seen much of them here,

but they've been a real
problem in the other cities.

- Why haven't
I heard of 'em before?

- We fight them
mostly behind the scenes.

Keeps people from worrying.

- Boat coming in!

- What's inifatige?

You know, the thing
that your agent said?

- Emergency passcode.

Whatever your message
is, it must be important.

(gentle music)

- Peter!
- I forgot.

Bag's under the seat.

- Why can't you be
more like Eddie?

He always signs in and out.

It's not that hard.

- Eddie never leaves his boats.

I'm in and out all day long.

- Who are you?

- Oh, I'm Alec, I think
I need to sign in.

- Where did you get that book?

- He has a message
for the chief.

It's inifatige.

- Let's see it.

- I think I'll give
it to the chief.

- You can give it to me.

- Louise, let's get
it to the chief.

- Sign out when you leave!

(clock ticking)

- Where did you get this?

What did the raiders look like?

Did you see their faces?

Do you know anything
else about the smoke?

I need details.

Alec?

How about the
raiders themselves?

- I think that's it.

- So what do you think?

What are they up to?

- I don't know.

But the raiders are here.

Call an all-hands meeting.

(people chattering)

- Let's sit here.

- That
didn't go very well.

- Chief's in!

- Just how he is, very
smart and a great person.

- He's also kind of short.

- Okay, everyone, I'll
get right to the point.

The raiders are here.

Some are wearing masks

and might be tied to the
smoked-out buildings.

- You're in my chair.

- Gas masks,
maybe for the smoke.

We need to find out what's
going on and stop them.

- Alec, this is Carson.

- Hi.

- Shouldn't have
civilians on base.

- Alec, would you please stand?

Our agent was captured, Alec
got the message through.

We owe him our thanks.

(Carson clapping)

Have the boats ready
to move at all times.

That's all.

(Louise whispering)
(dramatic music)

Hold it, everyone!

Lou.

- Building's just been
hit on First Street.

All the occupants are missing.

- What's the address?

- 1325.

- Okay, everyone,
let's get to it!

Let's find some clues.
- You okay?

- Why are they
hitting buildings?

What do they want, and where
are they operating from?

(somber music)

- What are you doing?

- Got to get to the orphanage!

- Got someone there?

- Please, Pete!

- I'm sorry, they're gone.

The force will send out
a boat to investigate.

We'll find out what
to do from there.

Maybe there will be some
way for you to help,

but right now you gotta
let us do our job.

- Carson, this one's yours.
- Yes, Sir!

- Eddie, how about boats?

- Okay, boats
two and three are out.

I'll get one moved over to
the second slip right away.

- Are there any questions?

- I want to help.

I want to join.

- Come on, sit down.

This isn't what I meant.

- It is not the time for this.

- My sister was
in that building.

I want to join.

- I'm sorry for your loss,
but we are done here.

Get that boat moving!

- You've
got to let me join!

I want to help stop the raiders!

- You lost someone you
love, I can understand that,

but you are wholly
unsuited for this job.

- What do you mean?

- Outside
of your limitations,

I assume you don't
have much schooling.

This is an elite force, years
of education and experience.

- Hey, come on.

You couldn't even get
your life jacket on.

Let it go.

- Hey, Carson,
get that boat moving!

- Yes, Sir!

- I'll be at
your door every day,

I'll follow your boats!

- No.

- If you
don't let me join,

I'll fight the
raiders on my own!

- He did get
the message through.

- You want him?

- No, I'm just saying--

- He's all yours.

- You're about
to get the speech.

- Hey, Alec!

- Told ya.

- Alec?

Learning, education, knowledge,
these are what empower us.

These are what
define our success.

If you are to succeed here,

it will be because you
are always learning.

These books, these books
are your life blood.

Know them inside and out.

Study them and restudy them.

- Are they tactical?

- Yes, but
they're much more.

A wealth of philosophies
that don't just shape

what we do but who we are.

- Your agent
gave me this book.

He said it was invaluable.

Do you know what it is?

- This is our old
training manual.

It was okay for its time
but very out of date now.

I wouldn't spend too
much time with it.

If you want to grow,
keep your focus here.

You're in barracks three at
the bottom of the stairs.

Pete will start your
training in the morning.

- Thank you.

- It's not a special
needs class, Alec.

If you slow us down even a
little bit, you're out of here.

Do you understand?

- Yes, Sir.

(gentle music)

(Alec sniffing)

- There was nothin'.

Just an empty building.

It's fine for tonight,

but I don't want to see
any tears in the morning.

(Alec sniffing)

- Heard what Carson said.

It's tough.

But in a way he's right.

We've got a job to do.

Gotta put it behind
ya, and get to work.

(gentle music)

- Hey, watch the dock!

(people chattering)
(engine puttering)

- Hey, you and
Baxter backin' 'em up.

- So far, not seein' it.

- Didn't even look.

- I looked, but
I'm not seeing anything.

(people chattering)

- Got a lot to
cover, get dressed.

Eddie's waiting for you
out at the boat dock.

(engine puttering)

- No, you can ask him,
I didn't ask for the job.

- Oh, two inches.

- Just load
up, real quick.

- You done crying?

- Morning, Carson.

- You don't get to wear that
hat till ya prove yourself.

- At the door.

- I thought someone
was supposed to fix that?

- Bring it down slow.

- Load two out.

- This one fits better anyway.

(engine puttering)

(bright music)

- Hey, stay
out of my stuff!

- Hi, I'm Alec.

- I know who you are.

Let's get to work.

- What is this?

- I have no idea, it
was before my time.

All right, let's
get things going!

These boats are your
primary transportation.

You need to know the specs,

design, capacity,
speed, limitations.

You're gonna need to
know how to pilot it,

that means drive.

(target clicking)

- You're up next.

Pull it back, put the dart in,

shoot it at the target.

- This ought to be fun.

(target clicking)

- You know, you could
follow me around

and hand me my ammo.

(target clicking)

(bell ringing)

- That dart has a
chemical compound

that's released on impact.

If it hits a person, it
causes a temporary paralysis.

I wouldn't put it in your mouth.

- Do clothes or masks stop it?

- No, pretty much goes
through everything.

Better get to tactics.

(gentle music)

- There's smoke coming out
of a two-story building.

Raiders are seen
at a nearby house.

Our agents are here and here.

How do we approach it?

- Shetland set up,
but close A gap

to provide additional cover.

Lock down until
raiders' first move.

If exit from front, close out.

If from rear, and
we're not seen,

recon for potential
leads on their base.

- Excellent, Carson.

Leads to their base
are very important.

(Alec snickering)

- We could send Lou in.

- Mr. Alec, you will refrain

from comments until you
actually know something.

- Shetland set up?

- Basic tactics,
you gotta learn this stuff.

- I meant that in a
complimentary way.

Just seems like you'd do
very well with the raiders,

with your aggressive,

confrontive qualities.

That's a very nice scarf.

- I guess you don't
know what stop means.

- I don't
think she likes me.

- She's been
around a long time

and usually a good
judge of character

and knows more about
the raiders than anyone.

- Who are
the raiders anyway?

What do they want?

- Best guess
is money or power.

- Who runs them?

- Far as we know,
no one's ever seen him.

(dramatic music)

- I
wouldn't do that!

- I did it.

(door clicking)

- From
New Haven, Sir.

- Thank you, Lieutenant.

Why the souvenirs?

- It helps
keep it personal.

Did the Force get
the message through?

- They're starting
to respond to our movements.

- Did they figure
out it's about the people?

Doesn't appear so.

- Can you read, Lieutenant?

(thugs giggling)

- Sorry, Sir.

(thugs laughing)

- Let the Force feel like
they're doing somethin'.

Throw them a bone or two.

(dramatic music)

- Glad to, Sir.

- Aw, come on!

- We'll get you back.

- It's humiliating!

- We'll get you back.
- Yes, Sir.

(door creaking)

- How ya doin'?

- Glad for a bit of a break.

- Hit on King Street!

Pete, Carson, this one's yours!

Don't take the boat,
it'll be faster on foot.

- You're with me, you're
watching this time.

Eddie, it's time for
you to see the world!

- I don't
want to see the world!

- Eddie, let's go!

- Ever, Lou, I'm not
supposed to leave my boats.

- Your boats will
be here when you get back.

- Why are
you doing this to me?

I don't even know
what I'm doing!

(dramatic music)

(crossbow clicking)

(body thudding)

- We just shot Carson!

(bright music)

- It was
a mistake, okay?

- We just shot Carson.

- I told them to leave
me with my boats.

I told them, I said,
"Leave me with my boats!"

What a mess!

- You think you got us!
- They did get us!

- Lou, we've
got some prisoners!

Where do you want them?

- They did get
us, but there'll be other.

- Put 'em in the brig!
- Plenty of others.

- Who are you thinkin' of?
- Others!

You can't put me
in here with him!

I demand solitary confinement!

Put me down, with this!

- I'll give you the cup!
- Help!

- Where's Pete and Carson?

- Guard!

- Carson,
what happened here?

- You were supposed
to carry your end!

- It got heavy.

- The raiders got him?

- They didn't get him, they did.

- What do you have to
say for yourselves?

- I think his back is
gonna need some lotion.

(Alec sighs)

(dramatic music)

(Alec sighs)

- Get your stuff,
you're done here!

- It was an accident.

- How about laughin'
through tactics

and reading that instead
of the books I gave you?

- I got laughing
and I couldn't stop.

I'll read the books.

Please, just give
me another chance.

- Pete, Lou, what do you think?

Another chance?

- No.

- Yes.

- His work speaks for itself.

- He'll wake up in
an hour and be fine,

which you probably
should think about.

I do know we
couldn't have caught

both the raiders without Alec.

He made a bad situation okay.

- Last chance, I won't
risk lives or the city.

Do you understand?

- Yes, Sir.

(dramatic music)

(class applauding)

- You've reached the
25-mission milestone, good job.

- I had my doubts,
but I have to say

I've never seen anyone
more dedicated to the work.

You're not there yet, but
we're proud of your effort.

A job well done.

- Thank you, Sir.

(triumphant music)

- You earned this.

Glad you're part of the team.

- You know, I think I'm attached

to my other one, but thanks.

(class applauding)
(people chattering)

- Good job.
- Congratulations.

- Good job.
- Congratulations.

- Well done.

(people chattering)

(target clicking)

- Hey, maybe you should follow
him around and hand him ammo.

Hey, Pete.

- You look kinda down.

(somber music)

- Do you ever get that feeling,

like, despite all our
efforts, the city's changing?

Colder, darker?

- We're doing okay.

You should lighten up.

- Yeah, you're probably right.

(gentle music)

- Give him some more TNTs.
- Sir?

- Yeah, what can I
do for you, Alec?

- I was wondering about
taking a day or two of leave.

- That would be fine.

- Thank you, Sir.

- Make sure to
sign out with Lou.

(gentle music)

(knuckles rapping)

- Gonna go take a
few days' leave.

Need to sign out.

- You think you're
doing great, don't you?

Everyone else may be
sold on you, but I'm not!

(Alec groaning)

(dramatic music)

- What exactly's going on here?

How did you get back on base?

- I'm just trying to figure out

who's been messing
with my stuff!

Look, every day a
new bookmark appears

in a different
section of this book.

- And what do the sections say?

- I don't know, I'm just
tryin' to figure out

who's been putting
them there and why.

- You signed out and were
on base without permission!

- Alec, Chief needs you
in his office right away!

- This isn't over.

I will see you outta here!

- Took too long for you

to get us back this time!

- Yeah, we
were almost to Division!

- We got you
back, that's all that matters.

- Hey.
- Now listen!

Boss wants you to take this one.

I demand you do the job right.

No messing up,
utmost seriousness.

Is that understood?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

- You may find
your stuff cute, but I don't.

You're gonna get in, you're
gonna get the job done,

and you're gonna get
out, nothing else!

Now get moving!

- Yes, sir.

(door thuds)

(door clicks)
(bright music)

- Lieutenant!

- Sorry, Sir.

(door squeaking)

- The hole's cut,
you can shove up the pipe!

Did you hear what I said?

You can shove up the pipe!

(dramatic music)

- Wait, what is that?

- There's
nothing to see here, okay?

There's nothing to see here!

It's just a pipe with
smoke pouring out of it!

Just return to your little
lives, you didn't see anything!

Just don't tell anyone, yow!

- He's standing
in the middle of the street.

People are everywhere,
smoke is pouring out of it.

(sighs) They broke
the trap door.

We can't get it closed,
the tunnels are exposed.

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

You want us to
blow the building?

- They must not
find those tunnels!

- Yes, Sir.

(people chattering)

- So, I don't really
know what to do about it.

- Yeah, it's just
one of those things.

- Probably time to head back.

(dramatic music)

- I want an explanation--
- Raiders!

- Of exactly
what happened here!

- Well, outside of
the smoke and the trap door,

I thought things were
going according to plan.

- Still keeps comin' out!

- Hey, I've
had about enough of this!

- So have we.

Yeah, try being us.

- I don't much
care for fixing your mistakes!

- We can tell.

- It's
only half-hearted work!

We should tell the boss.

- Get that box
around back, you're with me.

(box rattling)

(fuse hissing)

(dramatic music)

- Pete, it was explosives!

They were trying to
blow the building!

Pete?
- Hey, in here!

(door squeaking)

They were trying to cover this!

You won't believe
what's down here.

- Sir, I think we got a lead.

We found a hidden
tunnel going away

from one of the
smoked-out buildings.

It was full of all the
things from the building.

- Doesn't look like
they wanted the stuff.

Maybe just the people.

Wasn't just one tunnel either.

Lots from all over the
city leading to the river.

That's where they end.

- Excellent work,
this might be our big lead.

- One-armed man?

Could be on to us.

He's fallen in line with
the rest, let it ride.

- Yeah, what's
a one-armed man gonna do.

- Better be
safe, call in a favor.

- Yes, Sir.

- Lead on the tunnel
was significant.

We need you to follow
it up, upriver.

It's a bit of a shady area,

but there might be someone

that will give us
some information.

Whatever it takes, you
need to find the source.

- Yes, Sir.

(engine puttering)

- Hey, where are they going?

- They're heading upriver.

- Pete, you need to wait!

- Pete, you need to go.

- Yes, Sir!
- Lou, settle it down.

- Sir, I need to talk
to you about something!

(people shouting)

(water splashing)

(engine puttering)
(people shouting)

- Do you want some root beer?
- Yeah, root beer!

(people chattering)

- Hey, get out of there!

That's my food!

- Yay, more root
beer and ginger ale!

(people laughing)
(people chattering)

- We've got problems.

- I didn't even think
anybody noticed us.

- Exactly, something's wrong.

Wait over by the stove.

When I give you the
signal, kick the pipe free.

(people chattering)
(tense music)

- You knew we were
coming, didn't you?

- Yeah.

- I guess there's no
information, is there?

Who tipped you off?

(tense music)

Well, isn't this pleasant.

Now, Alec!

(dramatic music)
(blows thudding)

(glass crashing)

(water splashing)

(glass crashing)

(blow thudding)
(door creaking)

(bright music)

(door thudding)

- Hey, did you hear that?

(door thudding)

Get that door open!

(dramatic music)

- Hey, a little help here!

- Hey, get a rope!

That is it?

That is all that's left?

- Sorry, Eddie, the boat's gone.

We barely made it out.

- Hey, Chief wants you two
in his office right now!

(tense music)

- We have protocols here
that will not be broken!

- Indications point to
you working as a spy.

- Someone tipped them off,

but it doesn't make
sense that it was Alec.

- It wasn't, all
I was trying to do was--

- Quiet, the situation
has been explained.

You broke into the base,
nothing further is needed.

Lou.

- Your termination is
effective immediately,

and you are hereby banned
from all Force facilities.

A breach of these orders
will result in imprisonment.

- Take him away.

- I told you it was
about the bookmarks!

- You need
to listen to him!

You're making a mistake!

- You need to trust me,
it's the right thing.

- Pete, I'm not the spy,
which means someone else is!

Watch yourself!

I already told you
about the bookmarks!

It doesn't even make sense!

- Hey, what's
the matter with you?

(crickets chirping)

(Alec sighs)

(dramatic music)

(bell ringing)

(crossbow clicking)

(gentle music)

- What's going on?
- Sit down and listen.

- Lou, you had me kicked out!

You had me kicked--
- Sit down and listen.

- You had me kicked out!

(crossbow clicks)

- Are you gonna listen?

'Cause I have no problem
shooting you again.

- I'm listening.

- You discovered something
important with the tunnels.

Someone's trying to
have you taken out.

It's not me.

- So you had me
kicked out to save me?

Then who's the spy?

- I don't know.

Winston thinks they
might be local,

but it could be
someone up at Division.

(dramatic music)

- You're the one
behind the bookmarks!

- I was trying to get
you to read the book.

- I'm always reading!

I'm always studying!

- You're always studying
the new books, tactics,

which are fine if you
can see the big picture.

But if you can't, you're just
more useful to the enemy.

This book is not
like the other books.

The force was strong back
when we focused on the book.

We could see behind
the raiders' plans.

Now with the other books
everything's become cloudy.

Everything except our
feeling of intellectualism.

Patting ourselves on the back

while the city grows
colder and darker.

- I used those exact
words with Pete.

You really think
a book could make

that much of a difference?

Do the raiders know about it?

- There's other things

in those tactics
books that are subtle.

They aren't there by accident.

The enemy knows that
if something's based

on the wrong ideas, it's
only a matter of time

until it collapses.

You may not see it, I
know if we don't get back

to the book, it's over.

- I know the city is slipping.

"If you join, this
is invaluable."

That's what the
agent said to me.

Where do we go from here?

- Well, it's up to you.

Could walk away,

or you could let me
retrain you with the book.

Might get you back
with the Force,

maybe sway the others like Pete.

We might even have enough time

to turn the tide on the raiders.

- I'm in, so what's the plan?

- Glad you're in, Alec.

Well, let's start
with reading the book.

- By the way, why
is my back so sore?

- Well, I had to drag
you several blocks.

- And my head?

- And there were a few stairs.

(gentle music)

(door clicking)

- Followed?
- Maybe.

- When you said you were
gonna look for raiders,

I thought you meant
hours, not days.

- I followed a lead,
it just took a while.

Grab your stuff, we gotta go.

How'd it go?

- Book's been good.

No magic moments, though.

To be honest, it's
felt a little slow.

- It's not an instant solution.

The more you read, the
more you'll see its depth.

- What are you doing?

- I thought we just
read the book, right?

- We need things like tactics

but you've got to separate
the facts from the rubbish.

Actually, you can
pitch that one.

When you see the
author hates the book,

get what you need
somewhere else.

- So what's your lead?

- Raiders are gonna
turn the city.

When they think it's
weak enough, they
make their big move,

take what they can and
burn it to the ground.

I wish we had more time,

but I gotta get you back on now.

- Winston made it pretty
clear, if I step back on base,

I'm going to prison.

- Let me handle that.

- That didn't go so well.

- Winston said he'll review
the facts when he gets back.

The Force was called out
on an urgent mission.

He said he couldn't take
any risks, I'm sorry.

- Lou.

- Howdy, Eddie.

- I'm not
supposed to talk with you.

- You know, I don't
think these work as well

on someone with one arm.

(dramatic music)

(knuckles rapping)
- Hey, I'm supposed to knock!

- No, I'm
supposed to knock.

- You're
supposed to talk

and I'm supposed to knock.

- No, I was
supposed to knock

and Boss said for you to talk!

- No, he didn't!

- Yes, he did!

- No, he didn't!

- I'm gonna knock on you!

- He told me to, ow!

He told me to knock and you to--

- I'm supposed to knock
and you're supposed to talk!

- We've got problems.

- Let him out, Eddie!

- Yes, I am!
- No, you aren't!

- Ow, you're
making a scene!

- Eddie, you're
here, Lou, up above.

- I don't care
if I'm making a scene!

Just let me knock!

- I won't,
I'm gonna fly at you

and you won't know what hit you!

- I know exactly
what hit me, it's you!

- Just quit the pushing!

- They have a cannon.

- We don't even
know if anybody's home.

Hello, anybody in there?

(crossbow clicking)

- Looks
like they're home.

- Is everyone set?

Stay under cover until
they start coming through.

- I never shot one
of these before.

- You shot Carson.

- Not by myself.

- You'll do fine, point
and shoot, at the raiders.

- If it was up
to me, I would have left ya.

(cannon booming)

- That would be the door.

(dramatic music)

(crossbows clicking)

- Eddie, Eddie, come
on, we need you!

You can do it, Eddie!

(crossbow clicking)
(bright music)

- Lou, are you seein' this?

Eddie's not goin' down!

Darts aren't working,
let's charge him!

(Alec grunting)

(crossbow clicking)

- Sir, we can't
get past the half wall.

- Only the mechanic was
supposed to be here.

- Well,
you missed that one.

- Time to move to plan B.

- That'd be me.
- Try and save the cannon.

- Yes, Sir.

(crickets chirping)

(crossbow clicking)

(raider grunting)

(bright music)

- I think we're clear!

(crossbow clicking)

- I think you kind of like that.

Hey, hold up.

Do you have any idea
what happened to Eddie?

- I used a short-term dart
on you at the hideout.

But these don't seem to
have any effect at all.

Must have lost their potency.

(dart thuds)

Or maybe not.

- Feeling okay, Eddie?

- Yeah, I feel great.

- Well, looks like
we've got a cannon.

- Force is back.

(gate rumbling)

- Winston.
- What happened here?

- Well, there's
a pile of raiders

and we're holding cross bows.

- What is he doing out?

- I let him out, and
it was a good call.

If it wasn't for him, you
would not have a base.

- He's right, you
wouldn't have a base.

(gentle music)

- All right, you're reinstated.

I thank you for your actions
today, but you're on probation.

- Seems like he's
always on probation.

- Pete, keep an eye on him.

- I'll keep an eye on him too.

- Let's get this cleaned up.

Let's get that door fixed.

- There's also a cannon
and more raiders out front.

I think I need a nap.

Whoa.

- Eddie, hey, Eddie?

- What's the matter with him?

- He got hit by a
lot of darts today.

I didn't think they
had any effect on him.

Must have just been delayed.

I don't work for 'em, Pete.

- Never thought you did.

Glad to have you back.

- Thanks, Pete.

- Winston's gonna have a fit

if you're not reading
the core books.

- That's okay.

You know, you should
read it, Pete.

- It's been a
while, maybe I will.

- I'm not fooled by
you or your books!

- We're on the
same side, Carson.

- Are we?

- Hey, get these two
to Winston's office!

- I'm not finished yet!

- Hold it!

- You stay out of this, Pete!
- I said, Hold it!

Did you say "forks"?

- No, uh uh,
I didn't say forks!

- No,
he didn't say forks!

(bright music)

I think we should be quiet now!

(gears clicking)

(electricity sizzling)

- Are all these
pipes putting stuff in?

- I'd be more worried
that they're taking stuff out!

(raider screaming)

- We're not taking anything
out or putting stuff in.

We're just taking your pulse.

- Lou, are we ready?

- I'm not ready!

- We're ready.
- I said I'm not ready!

- The location of
your base, is it here?

(dramatic music)
(pencil scraping)

How 'bout here?

How 'bout here?

- (screaming)
I can't take it!

I can't take it!

I can't take it!

They broke me. (sobbing)

I tried, but they broke me!

- I think we found the base.

- They just broke
into our house,

now it's time to visit theirs.

All boats, all crews, let's go!

- All boats, Sir?

Shouldn't we send a scout?

- Pete, keep an eye on him.

(engines puttering)

- All right,
you two, to the brig!

(dramatic music)

- You
think they bought it?

That'll be a wake-up call!

(engine puttering)

(dramatic music)

- I don't feel good
about this, Pete.

- Neither do I.

- Pete, drop me
off there, will ya?

- I'm gonna scout up river.

I'll be back for ya.

- Pete, it's a range marker!

(cannons booming)

Quick, turn around, it's a trap!

- Turn the boats
around, spread out!

Turn around!

(cannons booming)

Turn the boats around!

Get them turned around!

- Pete, come on!

(cannons booming)

Pete!

Come on, Pete!

Pete! (crying)

Pete!

(cannons booming)

(frogs chirping)

(pensive music)

- Wow, that
was quite a nap!

What'd I miss?

- Eddie!

(water trickling)

- So they got
'em all, everyone?

- Pete, Carson, then
they must have hit the base

and captured Lou and the
rest while you were sleeping.

(somber music)

- It was the darts, nothing
you could do about it.

Probably, time to
head up to Division.

There's nothing for us here.

There's raiders
all over the city.

We'll have to be prepared.

(somber music)

- You okay?

- Just thinking about
Pete, Lou, and Carson.

Somehow it seemed like as long

as the five of us
stayed together,

things were gonna be okay.

- Yep.

- It's for you, Lou.

No, we're not doing this!

We're not giving up!

- We can't
fight them on our own!

- Carson and some of the others
may have just been captured.

If we could get 'em free,
and with the raiders busy

in the city, the base
might be less guarded.

- Alec, we cannot go upriver.

- Eddie, I'd rather go
down with my friends

than retreat to Division.

- Okay, Alec, there's a
spare boat at the warehouse.

- Let's do this, Eddie.

(dramatic music)

(tense music)

(engine puttering)
(frogs croaking)

- You're quiet.

- Bad memories.

- You're not gonna
have a flashback

and lock up on me, are ya?

- No, we've
got a job to do.

So after the first round
of shots, I hit this?

- Right, that'll
give us a little more speed,

not a lot.

- Enough to get us under the
guns before the second round?

- Maybe, anyway, wait
till I give you the word.

(dramatic music)

- Here they come,
brace yourself!

(cannon booming)

Now?

- Now!

(cannon booming)

Gentlemen, I believe I
have something of yours!

(cannon booming)

(frogs croaking)

(dramatic music)

- Eddie, you keep
your eye on them.

I'm gonna go scout out the base.

- What shall we talk
about, gentlemen?

- Eddie, the base, whoa...

Eddie, what's going on?

- Me and these boys are
having a conversation.

- Eddie, the base is empty!

All the prisoners are gone.

- I know that.

- You do?

- Since I brought
the cannon over,

these guys have
been very helpful.

You should know they've
taken over the CDF.

- The CDF?
- Yep.

- The raiders?

- That's right, they
brought all the prisoners,

now they're shipping 'em out.

- How long do we have?

- Boys, how long do we have?

A day, maybe less.

- We'd better move it, Alec.

(somber music)

(dramatic music)

(water splashing)

- What is going on?

- Some of the
Force agents are holding out

in the barracks
and fighting back.

We can't get in.

- Make for sure
they can't get out.

They can't do any
harm from there.

Keep these prisoners moving!

Yes, Sir, let's go!

Keep it movin'!

(door clicking)

- I tried that already.

It's not worth it.

- What'd you find out?

- The place is packed
with prisoners.

They're getting
ready to move them.

Carson and some of the
others are holding out

in the barracks.

If we could get them free--

- There's gonna be
a lot of raiders.

- I got a few ideas.

We're gonna need some supplies.

- And hopefully a good plan.

(dramatic music)

- Come on, Eddie!

(men groaning)

- This was a terrible plan!

What were you thinking?

(crossbow clicking)

- Eddie!

(gentle music)

- Someone's coming!

Help me move this stuff.

- Pete, Pete, you made it!

I can't believe you made it!

- It was just a cannonball.

- Hey, Lou.

I'm sorry, guys, we tried.

- Tell me the two of you did
not just charge the base!

- It seemed like a
good idea at the time.

- It seemed like a good idea?

What could you possibly
have been thinking?

- We were thinking, how
could we get to the barracks.

(dramatic music)

- So you meant to get captured?

- Eddie.

It seemed like an ideal location
to strike at the raiders.

And these should get us started.

- We're gonna try
to retake the base?

- We have bigger plans.

- Sir?

- What is all that noise?

Where's the lieutenant?

- CDF
somehow got a crossbow

and tried to retake the
base, but we put 'em down.

Lieutenant's making sure
it can't happen again.

- Good, split 'em
up and ship 'em out.

- We've
got bigger problems.

The routes we're using
to ship out the prisoners

to the other bases
have been compromised.

- No one even knows the
locations of those bases.

- The
last two shipments

of prisoners have been
intercepted by CDF.

Someone must have talked.

(tense music)

- When we're finished,
send in Winston.

- Winston?

- In the other room, working
on plans for our next attack.

- We need
secondary routes.

- Here, down here and there.

Double the number of guards,

and then set an ambush
for their ambush.

That ought to be a surprise.

- So will this.

Thank you for your help.

It would have taken us months
to find those locations.

(crossbow clicks)

(dramatic music)

- It'll save us from having
to listen to a bad guy speech.

(clock ticking)

- I've got one for you.

Raiders running
all over the city.

CDF agents going down.

Chief turns out to be
working for the raiders.

How do we approach it?

- I don't know what
you're talkin' about!

- Ran into an interesting person

among your prisoners, Roberts?

- He's from Division,

and had a lot of
information, about you,

and about the replacement
chief for New Haven.

- The game's over, Winston.

(crossbow clicks)
(Winston moans)

(somber music)

- I never liked
that guy, anyway.

- Me neither.

- I don't get how
he got in this deep.

- They intercepted
one of our messages

about promoting a new chief

and slipped in their
own guy instead.

- He's been in a while.

Don't know how we missed it.

- I never thought about
the boss goin' bad.

- It's always important
to make sure people are

on the right track, especially
someone in authority.

- So who's the new chief?

- It's Pete, promotion
is effective immediately.

(triumphant music)

- Pretty hard to
believe about Winston.

- Good thinking getting
the location of the bases.

- Carson gave me a
description of your sister.

I'm pretty sure I know
where she's being held.

- You do?

- We'll get her back.

- Let's get these
two up to Division.

- Yes, Sir!

- Lou, sign 'em out.

- I've got men all
along those routes.

We'll be out before evening.

(ominous music)

- No, you won't.

We're sending you via
a different route,

with a special transport.

(dramatic music)

(boat thudding)

- I think it pulls a
little to the left.

- I'm guessing about
halfway through the trip

just making it to Division
will start to look pretty good.

- I'm not getting in there!

You can't make me!

- Load 'em up!

- Gentlemen, I will
be with you shortly.

(gentle music)

- It's good to be
back as a team.

- Yep, it sure is.

- But it's not time to
pat ourselves on the back.

We got off track and
almost lost the city.

Alec?

Lou, can you find
copies for all the team?

- Glad to, Sir.

- It's time to get back
to what's important.

We could use another
good man, Roberts.

- I'll think about it.

- If you join,
this is invaluable.

- Yes, it is.

(triumphant music)
