Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - TEOTWAWKI - full transcript
Alicia and Nick fall in with new crowds. Madison discovers Otto's past mimics her own.
I was in the dining room
dry-canning some beans
When an angel
fell from the damn sky
And crashed in my backyard.
I screamed
and ran out there.
And there she was,
All of 12,
A lump on the ground,
Holding on to
a giant lawn umbrella.
She had jumped
off the roof.
Thought the thing
would hold her.
She broke her arm
in two places,
But she never cried.
Charlene embodied
the spirit of this place--
An always-ready,
never-quit,
Get-it-right-this-time
spirit.
And she would have...
If she wasn't
risking her life
for the unprepared.
Pat, thank you.
Hello.
I just want to introduce
my family.
I'm madison clark,
and these are my children,
Nick and alicia.
We wanted to offer
our condolences for charlene
And for the others
you lost.
We've lost loved ones, too.
Travis.
Travis, he was our compass,
and he...
We just wanted to say
thank you for sheltering us
And thank you
for your generosity.
We will repay it.
Thank you.
We've all lost.
We share that.
And grieving's hard,
But it's important
that we process it--
More important
to prepare, jake.
Good point!
I'm sorry.
There is a time and place
for mourning,
And patty
is owed that.
But who brought down
the helicopter?
We aim to find out, vernon.
When?
We're gonna get
to the bottom of this.
What's your timeline?
Jeremiah, please.
Nothing's changed, vernon.
Make no mistake,
we're in a wartime posture here.
We tasked alpha station
to scout the crash site.
When we know
what we're dealing with,
we'll act.
If it's some wing nut,
we'll act.
If it's a larger challenge,
we will act.
Payback, vernon.
Yeah!
That's what my father means.
Whatever this threat is,
large or small,
We will make this right.
Hey, we'll mete out justice
When we know what it is
we're dealing with.
We can't afford
to lose ourselves.
We're more than a mob.
We have to be something
hopeful in this world.
Like my father says,
if you plan for the future...
Plan for a better one.
Freeloader.
Excuse me?
You know
the fable "the ant
and the grasshopper"?
Hey, what's your problem?
Let it go.
Let it go.
They should be
harassing troy, not us.
I think they would be
if they knew what he had done.
Madison and alicia,
i'm gretchen trimbol,
vernon's daughter.
Saw you at the meeting.
Welcome.
I'd shake,
but it wouldn't
be sanitary.
Damn hangnail
can take you down
these days,
You're not careful,
you know?
I'm so sorry
for your loss.
I wish i'd have had
the pleasure of knowing travis.
Thank you, gretchen.
Hey, alicia, the rest
of christ rizen and i
were wondering
If you wanted to join us
for bible study.
Oh, we're not really--
when is it?
Tonight.
One hour, two, tops.
Music, punch,
and the lord,
of course.
What, uh,
is christ rizen?
Oh, sorry.
Christ rizen is our band.
That's terry and gabe.
You'll meet
geoff if you come.
We're jewish.
Cool. We'll do
old testament.
Corral at 5:00.
We need supplies, nick.
Water, weapons.
We must be ready to leave.
They're going to take
the cuffs off soon.
You can walk around
and see the place.
No.
Eat, luciana.
I can't forget
what they did.
i know.
As soon as they free me,
we go.
I just want us all
to feel safe in one place.
I had a chance
to make that happen.
I had a chance
to kill him.
But...
That would not
have made us safe.
And you know this.
This is not you, nick.
You're not a killer.
How's luciana?
Oh, still alive.
I liked your speech.
I liked how
you said his name.
Travis.
It makes him matter.
Makes him real.
He was real.
That's not why
you said it, though.
It wasn't out of grief.
It was pointed.
You wanted to remind us
that you're a victim, too.
You feel like a victim?
Are you analyzing me now?
No.
What did you do
in the old world?
Guidance counselor.
At a high school?
Oh.
I never attended.
"certain social aspects
of academia
Proved challenging
for troy."
You must have been lonely.
No, no.
No, i, uh...
I had this place.
Everything that i do
is in service to this place.
Does your father
believe that?
Yeah, he understands.
You know,
complicated problems call
for complicated solutions.
Killing people's
not complicated.
It's simple.
Do you see?
You understand this world.
You understand me.
That's why i picked you.
But i didn't--
i didn't pick nick.
He comes with me.
Package deal.
Why were you separated?
Why was he with strangers
and not his family?
He doesn't deserve
his place here.
I think you know it.
He'll earn it.
That was made
this morning, troy.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
dante's not gonna be happy--
Hey!
Hey, you're making a mistake.
Huh?! You're making
a mistake!
This is a mistake!
Victor...
Don't.
They don't want us here.
Most of them don't mind.
The ones who do,
we win them over.
You want to win over troy?
Work in progress.
In the meantime, both of you
stay away from him.
Not sure i can do that.
The hell you can't, nick.
You don't know
what sets him off.
He doesn't know
what sets him off.
Okay, but if we stay,
we need to do something.
What does that mean?
I'm doing something.
No, what do you mean, nick?
What are you gonna do?
Do you want my knife?
You gonna do something?
All i'm saying is that...
We should start over
somewhere else, okay?
Like find a house,
grow crops.
We don't have
to stay here,
that's all.
Farming's more your style.
We have options.
We're not leaving.
Why?
We're not leaving!
Why are you so convinced
That this is the place, mom?
Because it's all we have.
Because there's
no place better.
Because we hauled you
out of that hell hole
And travis died
because of it.
Luciana won't be safe here.
They let her in.
What if they make her go?
You'll have
a choice to make.
Something's wrong.
That's not many klicks
for mccarthy to cover.
We should have
heard back by now.
How many times did you
and charlie fly that route?
Six times
in four weeks, maybe.
People tend to knock
before they enter.
Or is this different
back in angel city?
Front door was open.
What do you need,
madison?
Reassurance.
You took us in
and i thank you
for that, but--
And you are welcome.
But some people here
resent us.
Well, that's natural.
You are strangers.
We're not strangers
to troy.
What did he do?
Broke into our place,
threatened nick.
I'd like you to keep
a leash on your son.
And i'd like you to help us
with the other people.
The ranch ain't
my autocratic plaything.
Its residents don't
bend to my whims and
wills and fancies.
It's a place for free people
who only ask for help
When they need it.
I'm asking.
I need it.
You a hard woman
to like, madison?
I'm extremely
goddamn hard to like
When someone
threatens my family,
and that's what troy did.
That's fact.
If jake hadn't shown up
at the depot,
We'd be dead.
That's fact.
And it's something
no one here seems to
give a shit about.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No need to curse.
He murdered people,
and he called it science.
Maybe the ranch
should know that.
Yeah, i'm starting to grasp
why folks' fondness fails
When it comes to you,
madison.
Dad, she's justified--
uh...
If my people take umbrage
at your presence,
That's on you.
I won't let anyone drown
Without teaching them
how to swim.
Jake, show her
the lectures.
Did troy hurt you?
Has he always been
this way?
I'll take care of him.
Okay.
Yeah, you and your dad
keep saying that.
Thank you...
For saving alicia.
Well, she saved me, too.
She...
All right, i'm going
to put on some coffee.
You're going to need it.
You worried about
the helicopter?
Nah. It'll turn out to be
some crackpot scavenger.
Whoever it is,
i want to meet him.
Our country is ablaze.
If only our ancestors can see
the chaos of modern america.
You gonna ride?
Dad used to take me
to the equestrian center.
No, i'm not riding.
I'm waiting for gretchen.
Going to her first bible study.
We stay, we should
get to know them.
You're invited.
So...
Is that what you want?
You want to stay?
No.
But i've seen
what it's like out there,
And it's all just
different circles of hell.
Why not this one?
Sorry what mom said.
It wasn't fair.
It's not wrong.
Bad time to form
a conscience.
What happened to you
out there?
the boar's back.
Keeps digging up
the fence posts to get
to the cabbage.
Could use
an extra pair of hands
tracking it tonight.
Stay away from madison
and her family.
They're my friends.
They came here
under my invite.
They trust me.
They came here not to get eaten.
I wouldn't flatter yourself.
Yeah, but they're staying
'cause i said i'd protect them
From you.
And how are you
going to do that?
Please don't do this.
Troy, please.
I'm the one that still
believes in you.
Well, i don't
need you to anymore.
Yeah, you do.
You do.
If the ranch knew
what you really are...
And what am i, jake?
Do you really think
that you were helping
Those people
out at the depot?
I think i was
helping all of us.
Troy...
When dad's gone,
This is all on us.
We have to take care
of this place.
We have to lead...
Together.
Yeah.
But i need you
to do something for me.
I need you to stay away
from the clarks.
Do you hear me?
Yep.
I hear you.
Do you mean it?
I always mean it, jake.
How much further?
We're here.
You first.
All right, everybody.
Get your study materials.
Greens to the new girl.
She is one
of god's chosen people.
This is not
what i expected.
Go your way.
Eat your bread with joy
And drink your wine
with a merry heart,
For god has already
accepted your works.
You have turned
my mourning into dancing.
You've removed
my sackcloth
And clothed me with gladness.
you said "sackcloth."
"we can be heroes"
playing
So, where is geoff?
Say hi, geoff.
If you're gonna plan
for the future...
Plan for a better one.
Cut it.
I look like an asshole
out there.
I didn't know
what the hell
i was saying.
I told you to use
the cue cards.
I don't need
goddamn cue cards.
I know my lines, okay?
Okay.
Now, what i want you to do
is pick up that sniveling idiot.
Why don't you pick him up?
I'm going back to the house.
No, you're staying
right here.
Hey!
You're staying right here.
We're gonna do another.
You hear me?
Enough!
It isn't enough.
It's enough when i say
it's enough.
I'm tired!
You're not tired.
You're thirsty,
that's what you are.
You're goddamn thirsty.
You're hurting me!
jake, tend to your brother.
Let's do this again, okay?
One more take.
We'll do it again.
Sorry, no.
See what you started?
Jeremiah, let her go.
Why don't you
just shut up, okay?
Just shut your damn mouth.
Not my finest moment.
How far did you get?
I didn't get through
the first tape.
It's funny,
where we start
and where we end up.
What happened
to their mom?
Troy's mom.
Jake's was my first wife.
I was married twice
before i gave up
The sacred institution.
Did she die?
Yeah.
Before.
My father was a drunk,
like her.
The booze kill him?
In a way, yeah.
Drink took tracy.
Got real ugly at the end.
Troy tended to her, and...
Fed her and cleaned her.
She hated him for it.
Where were you?
Selling buckets.
I suffered
the same affliction.
No, no, no, no.
It was the night before
we signed the paperwork
For the fortuna resort.
I'm positive.
It was that night,
because we were never sure
We were gonna
close the deal.
Thomas's counter
was aggressive.
Either way,
the sun had come up,
And you and thomas
were making crepes chocolates
On a bonfire
of god knows what.
It was the wood case
of the vino hormaechea '89.
And all the while
i was singing juan gabriel
to a cactus.
yeah, that's right.
Oh, man.
I'm...
I'm assuming...
Thomas did not...?
Huh.
So, you escaped this hotel
in this crazy woman's car,
And all you have with you
are your wits and charms
And this crunchy
suede coat?
don't forget
my good looks, dante.
Well, it's nice to be back
with a like mind.
Salud.
Salud.
He wants to know
where you're from.
El sereno, los angeles,
california,
America, north america,
earth.
Geoff wants to know
what it's like out there.
Chaos.
Ruin.
And it changes you.
Not like geoff.
Something worse.
Can i ask geoff something?
Sure.
Who are the ottos?
Our founding family.
They made this place before
most of us were even born.
Jeremiah saw
what was coming.
And how long
you guys been here?
It varies.
Most came when
the event began.
Geoff showed up
a week after t.E.
He was the first one
we saw like that--
Dead alive.
Geoff claims
he's from flagstaff,
But i doubt it.
He's indifferent
on the ottos,
Except troy.
Geoff is not a fan.
troy took geoff's body.
Troy's done a lot worse
than that.
Troy and the militia
do what we can't.
They protect us.
You can't rely on
the troys of the world.
Not anymore.
We've been behind the fence
since this started, alicia.
We can't do
what he does.
Sometimes you have to
handle your own shit.
Geoff wants to know
What bad stuff
have you done
out there?
I killed a man.
How did it feel?
Easy.
¿qué?
¿qué? ¿qué?
This man was cartel
before the fall.
His function was to take
from honest people
And to kill those
who refused.
Which he did.
See, in my world now,
there is no room
for such people.
No, no, no, no.
Hey! Hey...
Dime...
Did you truly think
that we were friends
in the old world?
We made each other money.
That's very american
of you, victor.
I know why you're here.
It's why you were always here.
You want
what is not yours.
You wanted my people's land,
and now you want my water.
Everyone wants your water.
Not everyone is quite
as thirsty as you.
I'm not here
to take from you.
Some food, shelter,
a cocktail, perhaps.
That would suffice.
No, no, no.
Nothing suffices.
Nothing satiates.
You cannot help
your need to take.
It is in your nature.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You need me, dante!
You need me!
Hold it.
¿cómo?
You're begging
for an attack.
You can't sell so close
to your source.
It's only a matter of time
before they try to take it,
not me.
Oh, you wish to serve me?
Yes, i wish to serve.
You wish to advise me?
Yes, please. Listen to me.
You must sell off-site.
And for that,
you need transport.
Guns and more men
And ammunition
to guard that transport.
I can organize that.
Water is the currency now.
How could i ever
trust a thief?
I never stole from you.
You stole from thomas.
We can work this out.
Did-- did thomas die
believing that you loved him?
I did love him.
You will say anything.
Aah! No, please!
Please!
No!
Why are you doing this?
So you suffer.
You exploit everything
that you touch.
And for that,
you owe a debt.
You will work it off.
You will feel
just like the people
that you've taken from.
You will feel powerless.
"once in a while"
playing in background
A bunch of us
are going hunting.
You can join
if you're not too busy
Watching old folks bone.
Middle of the night?
Boars are nocturnal.
Catch them sneaking around
in the dark.
Nah, i don't hunt.
This is more--
it's more maintenance
than hunting.
More cultivating
than killing.
Come.
Earn your keep.
Evening.
Jake tells me your son
went out on that boar hunt.
Nick doesn't hunt.
He's a city kid.
You don't have guns
in the city?
Not in my house, no.
Now?
Now's now.
How long does this hunt
normally last?
Well, it varies.
A couple hours,
all night.
Boys are fierce creatures.
They'll come back safe.
Alicia must have read
the entire book of moses by now.
Some mothers might be happy.
My daughter's finding god?
Finding place.
They never had that.
Place.
Nick's an addict.
Spent the last five years
Waiting on a call
from the morgue.
Today i told him if he left,
i'd let him go.
But here you are.
Here i am.
Things we do
to our children.
And the things we do for them
to make up for it.
You want to know why
i tolerate my son?
Come on, take a walk.
Such!
Such.
Such. Such.
Such.
Such.
Fass, fass, fass, fass!
Go, go!
Hey!
Go, go, go, go!
Move!
Where are we going?
Underneath my house.
My tapes didn't make me
the lightning rod i hoped to be,
But enough people woke,
Invested in the vision.
We call this the pantry.
Some say this mess
we're in is revelations,
God's vengeance.
I'll tell you what it is.
It's an opportunity.
A new life.
A chance to make amends.
I broke troy
in that old world.
In this one,
he has a purpose.
We all do.
And nothing
heals a family
More than that.
We will build something
better than before.
It won't be easy,
madison.
You think your family's
up for it?
Absolutely.
The ground's soft.
You could dig a grave
real easy.
I mean, people would
suspect you, but...
Well, they really
wouldn't know for sure.
I wonder how long
it'll take you to turn.
Eighty-seven minutes.
Eighty-seven minutes
given my weight, bmi, age.
You know,
if you do do it,
You should time it.
Journal's in my pocket.
You are not a scientist.
Time it.
Nick...
Please.
What is wrong with you?
Newton stabbed
his own eye
To understand
the nature of light.
I just...
I need to know.
I need to know
why we spoil.
Hey! Hey!
hey!
I think we can
be friends now.
You should be sleeping.
How's your wound?
Better.
Thank you.
For what?
Waiting for me to heal
before we leave.
I'm sorry for travis.
He saved my life.
He was a good man.
A much better person
than i am.
He saved us.
We're not going
to throw that away, are we?
We survive now...
At all costs.
Turning water into wine?
Praise jesus.
Everybody, listen up,
please.
I just got updated
on outpost alpha.
Mccarthy and his unit
went out 36 hours ago,
And we ain't heard
nothing back.
Could mean
a hundred things,
99 of them benign.
But we always got to prepare
for the one-off.
Troy here is gonna take
a party out,
But we're gonna need
volunteers.
Blake. Mike.
Coop. Jimmy.
And madison clark.
All right, everybody,
enjoy your meal.
Your kids are over there.
I know.
I knew you would
drink it all.
dry-canning some beans
When an angel
fell from the damn sky
And crashed in my backyard.
I screamed

And there she was,
All of 12,
A lump on the ground,

If she wasn't

Pat, thank you.
Hello.
I just want to introduce
my family.
I'm madison clark,
and these are my children,
Nick and alicia.
We wanted to offer
our condolences for charlene
And for the others
you lost.
We've lost loved ones, too.
Travis.
Travis, he was our compass,
and he...
We just wanted to say
thank you for sheltering us
And thank you
for your generosity.
We will repay it.
Thank you.
We've all lost.
We share that.
And grieving's hard,
But it's important
that we process it--
More important
to prepare, jake.
Good point!
I'm sorry.
There is a time and place
for mourning,
And patty
is owed that.
But who brought down
the helicopter?
We aim to find out, vernon.
When?
We're gonna get
to the bottom of this.
What's your timeline?
Jeremiah, please.
Nothing's changed, vernon.
Make no mistake,
we're in a wartime posture here.
We tasked alpha station
to scout the crash site.
When we know
what we're dealing with,
we'll act.
If it's some wing nut,
we'll act.
If it's a larger challenge,
we will act.
Payback, vernon.
Yeah!
That's what my father means.
Whatever this threat is,
large or small,
We will make this right.
Hey, we'll mete out justice
When we know what it is
we're dealing with.
We can't afford
to lose ourselves.
We're more than a mob.
We have to be something
hopeful in this world.
Like my father says,
if you plan for the future...
Plan for a better one.
Freeloader.
Excuse me?
You know
the fable "the ant

Hey, what's your problem?
Let it go.
Let it go.
They should be

What, uh,

Oh, sorry.
Christ rizen is our band.
That's terry and gabe.
You'll meet
geoff if you come.
We're jewish.
Cool. We'll do
old testament.
Corral at 5:00.
We need supplies, nick.
Water, weapons.
We must be ready to leave.
They're going to take
the cuffs off soon.
You can walk around
and see the place.
No.
Eat, luciana.
I can't forget

Why was he with strangers

He doesn't deserve

I think you know it.
He'll earn it.
That was made
this morning, troy.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
dante's not gonna be happy--
Hey!
Hey, you're making a mistake.
Huh?! You're making
a mistake!
This is a mistake!
Victor...
Don't.
They don't want us here.
Most of them don't mind.
The ones who do,
we win them over.
You want to win over troy?
Work in progress.
In the meantime, both of you
stay away from him.
Not sure i can do that.
The hell you can't, nick.
You don't know
what sets him off.
He doesn't know
what sets him off.
Okay, but if we stay,
we need to do something.
What does that mean?
I'm doing something.
No, what do you mean, nick?
What are you gonna do?
Do you want my knife?
You gonna do something?
All i'm saying is that...
We should start over
somewhere else, okay?
Like find a house,
grow crops.
We don't have
to stay here,
that's all.
Farming's more your style.
We have options.
We're not leaving.
Why?
We're not leaving!
Why are you so convinced
That this is the place, mom?
Because it's all we have.
Because there's
no place better.
Because we hauled you
out of that hell hole
And travis died
because of it.
Luciana won't be safe here.
They let her in.
What if they make her go?
You'll have
a choice to make.
Something's wrong.
That's not many klicks
for mccarthy to cover.
We should have
heard back by now.
How many times did you
and charlie fly that route?
Six times
in four weeks, maybe.
People tend to knock
before they enter.
Or is this different
back in angel city?
Front door was open.
What do you need,
madison?
Reassurance.
You took us in
and i thank you
for that, but--
And you are welcome.
But some people here
resent us.
Well, that's natural.
You are strangers.
We're not strangers
to troy.
What did he do?
Broke into our place,
threatened nick.
I'd like you to keep
a leash on your son.
And i'd like you to help us
with the other people.
The ranch ain't
my autocratic plaything.
Its residents don't
bend to my whims and
wills and fancies.
It's a place for free people
who only ask for help
When they need it.
I'm asking.
I need it.
You a hard woman
to like, madison?
I'm extremely
goddamn hard to like
When someone
threatens my family,
and that's what troy did.
That's fact.
If jake hadn't shown up
at the depot,
We'd be dead.
That's fact.
And it's something
no one here seems to
give a shit about.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No need to curse.
He murdered people,
and he called it science.
Maybe the ranch
should know that.
Yeah, i'm starting to grasp
why folks' fondness fails
When it comes to you,
madison.
Dad, she's justified--
uh...
If my people take umbrage
at your presence,
That's on you.
I won't let anyone drown
Without teaching them
how to swim.
Jake, show her
the lectures.
Did troy hurt you?
Has he always been
this way?
I'll take care of him.
Okay.
Yeah, you and your dad
keep saying that.
Thank you...
For saving alicia.
Well, she saved me, too.
She...
All right, i'm going
to put on some coffee.
You're going to need it.
You worried about
the helicopter?
Nah. It'll turn out to be
some crackpot scavenger.
Whoever it is,
i want to meet him.
Our country is ablaze.
If only our ancestors can see
the chaos of modern america.
You gonna ride?
Dad used to take me
to the equestrian center.
No, i'm not riding.
I'm waiting for gretchen.
Going to her first bible study.
We stay, we should
get to know them.
You're invited.
So...
Is that what you want?
You want to stay?
No.
But i've seen
what it's like out there,
And it's all just
different circles of hell.
Why not this one?
Sorry what mom said.
It wasn't fair.
It's not wrong.
Bad time to form
a conscience.
What happened to you
out there?
the boar's back.
Keeps digging up
the fence posts to get
to the cabbage.
Could use
an extra pair of hands
tracking it tonight.
Stay away from madison
and her family.
They're my friends.
They came here
under my invite.
They trust me.
They came here not to get eaten.
I wouldn't flatter yourself.
Yeah, but they're staying
'cause i said i'd protect them
From you.
And how are you
going to do that?
Please don't do this.
Troy, please.
I'm the one that still
believes in you.
Well, i don't
need you to anymore.
Yeah, you do.
You do.
If the ranch knew
what you really are...
And what am i, jake?
Do you really think
that you were helping
Those people
out at the depot?
I think i was
helping all of us.
Troy...
When dad's gone,
This is all on us.
We have to take care
of this place.
We have to lead...
Together.
Yeah.
But i need you
to do something for me.
I need you to stay away
from the clarks.
Do you hear me?
Yep.
I hear you.
Do you mean it?
I always mean it, jake.
How much further?
We're here.
You first.
All right, everybody.
Get your study materials.
Greens to the new girl.
She is one
of god's chosen people.
This is not
what i expected.
Go your way.
Eat your bread with joy
And drink your wine
with a merry heart,
For god has already
accepted your works.
You have turned
my mourning into dancing.
You've removed
my sackcloth
And clothed me with gladness.
you said "sackcloth."
"we can be heroes"
playing
So, where is geoff?
Say hi, geoff.
If you're gonna plan
for the future...
Plan for a better one.
Cut it.
I look like an asshole
out there.
I didn't know
what the hell
i was saying.
I told you to use
the cue cards.
I don't need
goddamn cue cards.
I know my lines, okay?
Okay.
Now, what i want you to do
is pick up that sniveling idiot.
Why don't you pick him up?
I'm going back to the house.
No, you're staying
right here.
Hey!
You're staying right here.
We're gonna do another.
You hear me?
Enough!
It isn't enough.
It's enough when i say
it's enough.
I'm tired!
You're not tired.
You're thirsty,
that's what you are.
You're goddamn thirsty.
You're hurting me!
jake, tend to your brother.
Let's do this again, okay?
One more take.
We'll do it again.
Sorry, no.
See what you started?
Jeremiah, let her go.
Why don't you
just shut up, okay?
Just shut your damn mouth.
Not my finest moment.
How far did you get?
I didn't get through
the first tape.
It's funny,
where we start
and where we end up.
What happened
to their mom?
Troy's mom.
Jake's was my first wife.
I was married twice
before i gave up
The sacred institution.
Did she die?
Yeah.
Before.
My father was a drunk,
like her.
The booze kill him?
In a way, yeah.
Drink took tracy.
Got real ugly at the end.
Troy tended to her, and...
Fed her and cleaned her.
She hated him for it.
Where were you?
Selling buckets.
I suffered
the same affliction.
No, no, no, no.
It was the night before
we signed the paperwork
For the fortuna resort.
I'm positive.
It was that night,
because we were never sure
We were gonna
close the deal.
Thomas's counter
was aggressive.
Either way,
the sun had come up,
And you and thomas
were making crepes chocolates
On a bonfire
of god knows what.
It was the wood case
of the vino hormaechea '89.
And all the while
i was singing juan gabriel
to a cactus.
yeah, that's right.
Oh, man.
I'm...
I'm assuming...
Thomas did not...?
Huh.
So, you escaped this hotel
in this crazy woman's car,
And all you have with you
are your wits and charms
And this crunchy
suede coat?
don't forget
my good looks, dante.
Well, it's nice to be back
with a like mind.
Salud.
Salud.
He wants to know
where you're from.
El sereno, los angeles,
california,
America, north america,
earth.
Geoff wants to know
what it's like out there.
Chaos.
Ruin.
And it changes you.
Not like geoff.
Something worse.
Can i ask geoff something?
Sure.
Who are the ottos?
Our founding family.
They made this place before
most of us were even born.
Jeremiah saw
what was coming.
And how long
you guys been here?
It varies.
Most came when
the event began.
Geoff showed up
a week after t.E.
He was the first one
we saw like that--
Dead alive.
Geoff claims
he's from flagstaff,
But i doubt it.
He's indifferent
on the ottos,
Except troy.
Geoff is not a fan.
troy took geoff's body.
Troy's done a lot worse
than that.
Troy and the militia
do what we can't.
They protect us.
You can't rely on
the troys of the world.
Not anymore.
We've been behind the fence
since this started, alicia.
We can't do
what he does.
Sometimes you have to
handle your own shit.
Geoff wants to know
What bad stuff
have you done
out there?
I killed a man.
How did it feel?
Easy.
¿qué?
¿qué? ¿qué?
This man was cartel
before the fall.
His function was to take
from honest people
And to kill those
who refused.
Which he did.
See, in my world now,
there is no room
for such people.
No, no, no, no.
Hey! Hey...
Dime...
Did you truly think
that we were friends
in the old world?
We made each other money.
That's very american
of you, victor.
I know why you're here.
It's why you were always here.
You want
what is not yours.
You wanted my people's land,
and now you want my water.
Everyone wants your water.
Not everyone is quite
as thirsty as you.
I'm not here
to take from you.
Some food, shelter,
a cocktail, perhaps.
That would suffice.
No, no, no.
Nothing suffices.
Nothing satiates.
You cannot help
your need to take.
It is in your nature.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You need me, dante!
You need me!
Hold it.
¿cómo?
You're begging
for an attack.
You can't sell so close
to your source.
It's only a matter of time
before they try to take it,
not me.
Oh, you wish to serve me?
Yes, i wish to serve.
You wish to advise me?
Yes, please. Listen to me.
You must sell off-site.
And for that,
you need transport.
Guns and more men
And ammunition
to guard that transport.
I can organize that.
Water is the currency now.
How could i ever
trust a thief?
I never stole from you.
You stole from thomas.
We can work this out.
Did-- did thomas die
believing that you loved him?
I did love him.
You will say anything.
Aah! No, please!
Please!
No!
Why are you doing this?
So you suffer.
You exploit everything
that you touch.
And for that,
you owe a debt.
You will work it off.
You will feel
just like the people
that you've taken from.
You will feel powerless.
"once in a while"
playing in background
A bunch of us
are going hunting.
You can join
if you're not too busy
Watching old folks bone.
Middle of the night?
Boars are nocturnal.
Catch them sneaking around
in the dark.
Nah, i don't hunt.
This is more--
it's more maintenance
than hunting.
More cultivating
than killing.
Come.
Earn your keep.
Evening.
Jake tells me your son
went out on that boar hunt.
Nick doesn't hunt.
He's a city kid.
You don't have guns
in the city?
Not in my house, no.
Now?
Now's now.
How long does this hunt
normally last?
Well, it varies.
A couple hours,
all night.
Boys are fierce creatures.
They'll come back safe.
Alicia must have read
the entire book of moses by now.
Some mothers might be happy.
My daughter's finding god?
Finding place.
They never had that.
Place.
Nick's an addict.
Spent the last five years
Waiting on a call
from the morgue.
Today i told him if he left,
i'd let him go.
But here you are.
Here i am.
Things we do
to our children.
And the things we do for them
to make up for it.
You want to know why
i tolerate my son?
Come on, take a walk.
Such!
Such.
Such. Such.
Such.
Such.
Fass, fass, fass, fass!
Go, go!
Hey!
Go, go, go, go!
Move!
Where are we going?
Underneath my house.
My tapes didn't make me
the lightning rod i hoped to be,
But enough people woke,
Invested in the vision.
We call this the pantry.
Some say this mess
we're in is revelations,
God's vengeance.
I'll tell you what it is.
It's an opportunity.
A new life.
A chance to make amends.
I broke troy
in that old world.
In this one,
he has a purpose.
We all do.
And nothing
heals a family
More than that.
We will build something
better than before.
It won't be easy,
madison.
You think your family's
up for it?
Absolutely.
The ground's soft.
You could dig a grave
real easy.
I mean, people would
suspect you, but...
Well, they really
wouldn't know for sure.
I wonder how long
it'll take you to turn.
Eighty-seven minutes.
Eighty-seven minutes
given my weight, bmi, age.
You know,
if you do do it,
You should time it.
Journal's in my pocket.
You are not a scientist.
Time it.
Nick...
Please.
What is wrong with you?
Newton stabbed
his own eye
To understand
the nature of light.
I just...
I need to know.
I need to know
why we spoil.
Hey! Hey!
hey!
I think we can
be friends now.
You should be sleeping.
How's your wound?
Better.
Thank you.
For what?
Waiting for me to heal
before we leave.
I'm sorry for travis.
He saved my life.
He was a good man.
A much better person
than i am.
He saved us.
We're not going
to throw that away, are we?
We survive now...
At all costs.
Turning water into wine?
Praise jesus.
Everybody, listen up,
please.
I just got updated
on outpost alpha.
Mccarthy and his unit
went out 36 hours ago,
And we ain't heard
nothing back.
Could mean
a hundred things,
99 of them benign.
But we always got to prepare
for the one-off.
Troy here is gonna take
a party out,
But we're gonna need
volunteers.
Blake. Mike.
Coop. Jimmy.
And madison clark.
All right, everybody,
enjoy your meal.
Your kids are over there.
I know.
I knew you would
drink it all.
