She's gone.

- She left us.
- You want to elaborate on that?

Mother A!

When it's my time to go,
I'll be gone.

There's gonna be a vigil tonight

at Mother A's house.

- Why kill just the committee...
- When we can

take out everyone.

There's a military facility.

Now, I want you to go there
and bring me back



the... fire.

- My life, for you...
- Harold!

Fuck. What is this?
What the fuck is going on?

You weren't supposed
to see this. I'm sorry.

No! No, Harold, no!
No, no, no, no!

We got her, Stu!
We got Mother A!

They found her!

All right,
get her to the infirmary.

We'll meet you there.
We'll meet you there.

This is
Harold Emery Lauder speaking.

I do this of my own free will.

Thank you...!

This is
Harold Emery Lauder speaking.

I do this of my own free will.



Breaker, Breaker,
that's a big 10-4, good buddy.

Over and out.

Harold...

- we've done it.
- No. That's finished.

We don't touch each other
anymore.

It got Flagg what he wanted.

No more Free Zone Committee.

Pretty soon there won't be
any more Free Zone at all.

He's gonna give me a woman

that makes you look
like a potato sack, Nadine.

Then you...

you get him.

Happy days, right?

If I were wearing
your hush puppies,

I'd be shaking in 'em plenty.

Come on, Nadine.

I want to be
a hundred miles gone by sunup.

Hey.

How's Frannie?

She's okay.

Little banged up.

And the baby?

Baby's good.

Far as they can tell, all good.

And you're here.

Which means the fires are out.

Yeah, we...

we got a few hot spots left,
but we stopped the spreading.

Good.

Harold do all this?

That depends
how you mean, Larry.

Yes.

Harold built the thing.

Right, but he's...

he's not the one that...
got it in the house.

Nadine?

Fuck, man.

And I thought
kicking dope sucked.

You think...

you think there's anything left
of Nick to bury?

I mean,
we got to bury something, right?

We'll bury something.

He was her favorite.

If she doesn't wake up,
she'd never have to know.

It might be a blessing.

Ray.

Mother.

I need you
to bring everybody here.

Right now.

Ray?

Frannie?

Hey. Frannie?

Frannie?

Mother Abagail is awake.

- Is she?
- Yeah. She's asking for us.

- Help me up.
- Wait. Slowly. Slow. Easy.

Come closer.

Everybody.

I have sinned.

I've sinned greatly.

I've sinned in pride.

I forgot...

I was not the potter

but the clay.

I thought Nick

was the one to lead you.

But the Lord saw fit
to take Nick home.

And that means...

that it's you, Stu Redman,

who must lead now.

Lead us where?

West.

To the Dark Man's stronghold.

You are to leave now, today.

On foot.

You are to take no food

and no water.

Just the clothes on your back.

One of you...

will not see the end
of this journey.

But God has not seen fit...

to show me who falls.

And you, Frannie...

you are not to go.

There's bitter days ahead.

Death and terror.

Betrayal and tears.

And not all of you
will live through 'em.

The Dark Man grows stronger
every day,

and I know you can feel it.

And soon he'll come

to destroy
all who stand against him.

His kingdom's in the west,

and it is there you must go

and make your stand.

This...

is what God wants from you.

Slow down!

Nadine!

Nadine!

Nadine, get the rope
from my saddlebag!

Nadine.

I-I broke my leg, I'm stuck.

I-I need you
to help me out here.

Get the, get the fucking rope,
for the love of God.

It's better this way, Harold.

You see that, don't you?

Better?

What the fuck
are you talking about?

He would have never
let you live.

He needs me,

and I need him.

You were never meant
to be a part of that.

Sorry, Harold.

I am.

You can end it quickly,
you know,

if you're brave.

You don't think I have it in me?

Did I get you,
you crooked bitch?!

Nadine!

Goddamn you!

You bitch!

How long is it gonna take
to get there?

Walking?

I don't know, it's hard to tell.

Glen ain't exactly
in his 20s anymore, and...

neither are Ray and I,
for that matter.

I figure if we...

average about 25,
30 miles a day...

make it to Vegas probably...

the end of February.

That's about a week
before the baby's due.

Yeah.

Yeah, right about then.

Do you think she spoke for God?

I don't know.

All I know is that we dreamed
of her and she was real.

I think she did.

Speak for God.

I think we're all just pieces
for Him to play.

And the people over in Vegas...

They're pieces
for the other one to play.

Like Harold.

You tried to warn me.

I didn't listen, did I?

If I'd have listened,
a lot of innocent people

would still be alive today.

Nick.

Mother Abagail
never mentioned Harold.

No, she didn't.

You think he's going to Vegas?

I think that's the only thing
that makes sense.

They got to go collect
their prize.

Bringing him to justice
is not part of your mission.

But you're gonna do it anyway.

If I can, yeah.

And you don't want me
to do that?

All I want is you
to get home safe

so we can raise
this baby together.

Swear you'll come back.

- Frannie, how can I...?
- God can't run all of it.

Not all of it.

Swear it.

I swear I'll try.

Hey, I'm gonna need you to take
care of this for me, little man.

We're gonna need it
when I get back.

All right, then,
I'll, um, I'll see you soon.

Take care of yourself.

Hey.

"Take nothing but the clothes
on your backs."

I know, I know,
it's not for me, it's for her.

Why?

I figured we ought to document
the moment for posterity.

Yeah?

All right, line up.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Kojak, come on.
- Come on, Joe.

- Taking a little photo.
- Okay.

- You getting in, Kojak?
- Get over here.

Come here.

Get a little tighter.

All right, has anybody thought
about how we're gonna get water?

Seeing as every day
each of us needs,

what, like a gallon
or some shit?

Larry, we've got
over 800 miles to go.

You start rolling out
the big logic questions,

we're never gonna make it.

Yeah, Larry, what's next?

You gonna ask why
we're not driving to Vegas?

She said bring nothing,
go on foot.

I'm not arguing that.

I'm just wondering
if anybody here has got a plan.

All right, you want a plan?
Here's the plan.

We make it to the next town,

we find a grocery store,
we stock up

and hope
that we can carry enough

to get us to the next town.

Well, we got to walk
all the way across Utah, yeah,

before we even get to Nevada?

Last I checked.

I toured Utah.

My memory is that they just got
long stretches of... not much.

Well, there's streams
and lakes, whatnot.

Yeah, true, but can you tell

which ones
won't give us giardia?

What?

You figured the "Injun girl"
must know the ways of the Earth,

least enough to find you water

you won't shit yourselves
to death?

Well, can you?
Well, do you? Yeah.

Of course.

Tell me again why

we're allowed
to pick up food and not weapons.

Same reason why we're allowed
to pick up backpacks.

"Power is not in the book.

It's in the interpretation."

Good news or bad news.

Well, the good news is,

kind of think
we've covered 90 miles.

Bad news is, we got about
700 miles till we make Vegas.

Shit. The longer the better,

'cause you know
the guy's just gonna

wipe us all out
when we get up there anyway.

- Hey.
- No.

Mother Abagail would never
send us off to get murdered.

She said
she didn't know the outcome.

Well, she also said this may be
what God wants for us.

Wait. Don't... don't tell me

the world's preachiest atheist
all of a sudden found religion.

My wife used to say,
"There's no difference

"believing in something
for which there is no evidence

"and refusing
to believe in something

for which
there is overwhelming evidence."

I have no idea if there's a God,

or if He was speaking
through Mother A,

but we're on this train now

till the end of the line.

Guess that's true for all of us.

How y'all feeling?
You ready for a break?

Yeah, we can make camp
up around the corner there.

It looks all right.

Isn't it, like, bad luck
to set up camp

under circling vultures or...?

I think we're past the point
of it being about luck, Larry.

We're in his country now.

Do you feel it?

Yeah, I feel it.

Looks like
they got something big.

Guys, tell me
that's not Harold's bike.

Jesus.

There's no sign of Nadine.

Well, she either went on
without him, or...

didn't make it this far.

What the hell you doing?

We can't just leave
the body uncovered.

Fuck him!

That little shit murdered Nick.

Listen, I followed this kid
halfway across the country.

And he got me to Boulder.

That doesn't change,
it doesn't matter

what he did or what
the Dark Man made him do.

Fucking bleeding-heart bullshit.

Aah! Aah! Yah!

Get out of here!

"There was a game we played
when we were children...

"out at the sand pit
on one of the back roads.

"Well, a lot of the other kids
played, but I just watched.

"I was too afraid.

"They jumped from the top
of the pit

"and rolled over and over down,
laughing their heads off.

"I never could get my legs
to do it, though.

"To jump.

"Everyone called me a pansy,
and I kept going back

"to prove myself,
but I never did it.

"I wonder if, just once,

"I could have
convinced myself to do it,

if I might not have
ended up here."

"Well, fuck all
those bullying assholes.

And fuck me for letting myself
turn into something even worse."

"I apologize for the
destructive things I've done,

but I do not deny that
I did them of my own free will."

"The Dark Man is real.

I let myself be misled."

"I sign this, my final word,

"by a name
given to me in Boulder.

"I couldn't accept it then,
but I take it now freely.

Hawk."

I was starting to think
you'd never get here, kid.

"Nadine...

How I love to love Nadine."

We did it.

We killed them.

You did, baby.

I-I don't know how many.

A-a lot of them, um, I think...

Um...

Harold didn't make it.

Well, Harold was very loyal.

But his purpose is served.

He was never meant
to ascend to Olympus,

to live among the gods.

Like you.

Stay with me, baby.

You held up your end, Nadine.

Kept yourself pure for me.

Now you get to be my wife.

Something's not right.

Shh...

Shut up.

Well, shit.

Somebody ought to call
the Highway Department.

No way but forward.

Hey. Easy, Stu.

Come on, boy.

Showoff.

All right.

- Whoa!
- Easy.

You all right?

Thank you.

Yes.

Way more graceful.

- All right.
- All right.

All right,
now comes the fun part.

Go on, Kojak.

Go on.

- Just like that.
- Yeah.

All right, who's next?

Last one down, first one up.

It's all you.

All right.

All right. I got you.

Nice and easy, old man.

Hey.

Kiss my ass.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Think I just did.

You all right?

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Come on, Glen.
I got you.

All right, all right.

Already. Ruff, ruff, ruff.

Good boy.

Nothing to it.

Stu! Stu!
No!

Shit!

Stu!

- No! Stu!
- No!

- No! Stu!
God!

Jesus!

- Stu!
- All right! Don't try to move!

Stu!

Hold on, Stu.

- Stu, hold on!
- Jesus. Stu.

Easy.

- Holy shit, Stu.
- My God.

- Holy shit.
- Try not to move.

Hey. Here. Easy, easy, easy.

Okay.

My leg's broken.

We got to put it back in place.

- Stu...
- Listen, listen, listen.

This ain't the first time
I took a bad step, all right?

Larry...

grab me by the ankle.

I need you to pull my leg
straight, okay?

The bones are gonna
line back up. If they don't,

you're gonna have to use
your hands. Do it by hand.

- Stu, I...
- Hey. Hey.

Come on.
You can do it, buddy.

All right?

Okay.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

On the count of three. Right?

One,

two,

three.

Yeah. Just tie that one off now.

- That's good?
- That's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, so I guess,
we're camping here,

so I'm gonna try to find
a stretcher and some supplies

or something like that,
all right?

- I'll go with you.
- No.

Look...

she told us
this was gonna happen.

One of us would fall.

I'm the one.

-Man, come on.
What are you talking...
-Hey.

We made an agreement.

All right? All of us.

Standing
by Mother Abagail's deathbed.

And we are
gonna live up to that.

Stu, we're not leaving you here.

Larry.

What are you gonna do?
You gonna drag me to Vegas?

You gonna carry me on your back?

That ain't gonna happen.

I'm afraid he's right, Larry.

Whole trip's based on the idea
Mother Abagail knew

what the hell
she was talking about.

In for a penny.

No, we're not leaving you.

We knew
what we were signing up for.

Did you go to church
when you were growing up?

Yeah. So what?

You remember Psalm 23?

"Yea, though I walk
through the valley

of the shadow of death..."

"I will fear no evil."

I want you to look around you,
Larry.

What is this, the valley?
Is that what this is?

What do you think it is?

"Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,

- I will fear no evil."
- Stu,

we're not leaving you.

I want you to say it with me.

"I will fear no evil."

Say it.

"I will fear no evil."

Say it again.

"I will fear no evil."

Larry.

Look at me.

Mean it.

"I will fear no evil."

You're in charge now.

Why me?

Let's just say
I got a good feeling about you.

Go on. Get out of here.

Mitakuye Oyasin.

We are all related.

All right.

How's the pain?

Well, pretty good
since you gave me those pills.

All right.

Well, here's
the rest of the bottle.

All yours.

All right? Just take one
every 12 hours.

Thing about pain,
of course, is...

well, stay ahead of it.

Stu.

Important about the dosage.

Take three or four of those
at once...

liable to be fatal.

You get me, East Texas?

Yeah, I get you.

It's been a... pleasure
getting to know you.

I wish I could say the same.

I didn't mean it when I said it.

Don't make me laugh.

Bye, Glen.

Bye.

We're almost home, sweetheart.

What are you doing?

Go on, git!

Go on! You're gonna give Glen
a heart attack! Go!

Yeah.

Kojak?

Kojak?

Kojak!

- Should we stop soon?
- Probably chasing
a rabbit or something, Glen.

- He'll-he'll catch up.
- I don't know
if he's back or forward.

- Kojak!
- Kojak's smart.

He runs into anything
bigger than a rabbit,

he'll just head back our way.
Don't you think, Larry?

Yeah, no doubt.

Stupid dog.

Should have never
let him off leash.

Kojak!

Hi, fellas.

And... "fellettes."

We've been expecting ya.

You know, my boss told me

when you'd be walking out of
that canyon down to the minute.

Isn't that crazy?

It is a crazy fuckin' world.

We tried it their way.

We tried it their way.

Render unto Caesar's...

We're not gonna have
any whining, my friends.

Can't have any pussies, either.

We tried it their way,
and it didn't work.

- Now it's our turn.
- That's right, sweetheart.

Darling, why don't you head down
to greet our guests?

Out you go, shitbirds.

Come on.

Hello, friends.

Welcome...

to New Vegas.
