Bye.

It's hard not to feel lucky.

Though Dad says there's no such thing.

There's those who are prepared for
opportunities and setbacks, and those

not.

Luck doesn't exist.

After the wars, it was very obvious who
was prepared and who wasn't.

Man had fallen far away from his
primitive roots.

We forgot how to do the most basic of
things.

Like getting food.

I still don't know what it means, but
apparently everything was wrapped in

plastic and ready to go.

Dad loves that thing

We

don't disagree on much of anything

I

feel real lucky to have the dad I do

How'd you go?

Decent. We're into season.

Six cohoes, couple dogs.

In the smoker? Yep.

Coal chamber's leaking pretty bad.

I've patched it up, but I think it needs
a proper redo.

Put it on the lid.

Already did.

The supper's on the stove, heating up.

I'll be in shortly.

It's okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Let me in.

Let me in. Don't look at him. Don't look
at him. Let me in.

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

You okay, Jakey?

Dream.

You know, the wars are in the past.

We've got to do something to erase these
memories.

Focus on the future.

Bury the past.

Okay?

Need a hand, old man?

I'm good.

You sure?

Bet I can have half a quarter wood
chopped by the time you get back.

You're dreaming.

Loser cooks and cleans.

Deal!

This act is sharp. Well done.

Get in the house.

Stay here.

Anyone comes through that door, that is
not me. You shoot him in the face. Seth,

I can help. I can take these SOBs out.
You are going to stay here and protect

what's ours.

Sweep the perimeter, and if I'm not back
in 30 minutes, you know what to do.

You good?

Yeah.

Yeah. You got a couple of rounds off,
but he's a lousy shot.

You're early.

I heard the shots. I just wanted to
help.

Your time will come to bury plenty of
men.

It's just as important for you to stay.

Keep our home safe.

I'm ready now.

I know.

And I think we're getting too
comfortable. He was on his way to our

When we're not prepared, we'll be the
ones getting buried.

Now, you take care of this SOB.

I'm gonna go back to the cabin and get
cleaned up.

Dad!

What? You're bleeding.

Fuck.

Oh, it's nothing.

Don't worry.

You finish up here and meet me back at
the cabin.

Go on.

This is not a democracy.

Oh, my God.

I love her.

How are you feeling?

I told you to stop worrying.

Stop asking.

Not a big deal.

It's just a 9mm.

Dad, you know in the Swiss family,
Robinson and the father pray to the God

safety and then they find the island?

God didn't point them there.

No, Jake.

The point was to show how desperate he
was.

Talking to the fictitious in survival
mode.

And besides, it's just a story.

A story about finding utopia.

Away from humanity and all its evils.

Why are you drawing that?

That man had it written on his chest.

And?

The outsiders still believe in the
religion?

And I'm sure the poor and the desperate
still cling on to it.

How can they go through the wars and
still believe?

You've got to think for the math. That's
all they've got left, right?

Hope for the hopeless, that's all.

Hey, Jakey, come here.

Don't be scared.

This man can't hurt us anymore.

What if more bad men come?

Well, then we'll have to be prepared.

But you just can't be scared, Jakey.

Otherwise they get you.

And it's not like us.

Just don't look them in the eye.

And then you'll be fine.

Why?

Because if you look them in the eye,
they'll trick you into thinking that

they're still human.

Don't you ever forget that.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I told you to quit asking.

How many traps you set today?

Seven?

Try and get a dozen by the end of the
day, okay?

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

What can I

do?

Boil some water and get me some whiskey.

Get some gauze out of the first aid kit.

It's all gone.

Get the cleanest rags you can find and
put them in the boiling water.

We have everything we need.

This is our home now and forever.

What about Mom?

Is she never coming back?

Jakey.

Mom's dead.

She's not coming back.

They killed her.

Do you understand?

I hate them.

You don't fill your heart with hate,
son.

We have each other.

And I will protect you until the day I
die.

You take these keys.

Go to the caches.

Jakey, if I'm too weak and the outsiders
come,

he got his shit to kill.

If anybody steps a foot on our land,
I'll kill them dead.

Go to the cache by the big spruce.

HGF book.

Yeah.

You need to know you're ready.

You gotta feel it in your bones. I knew
you.

You're a better shot than your old man.

You need to be ready to bury anybody you
come across. Are you ready for that?

Dad, I'm ready.

I can do this.

And you tell me you will put a bullet...

Between the eyes of any person you see,
any man that I see, man, woman, or

child, that will kill you just the same.

You not underestimate them or you will
not make it back here alive.

This is really important, Jakey.

This is our first line of defense.

The outside world is full of filthy and
desperate people who will shoot

us dead on sight.

There are gangs of marauders roaming
around in gas -powered vehicles ready to

take anyone away.

Even kids?

Especially kids.

There are cities and...

Major towns that have been burnt to the
ground and women and children burned

alive. Why?

Because people are desperate and ill
-prepared.

They will burn our house down with us in
it just for a gun or a piece of food.

That's why I brought us all the way up
here.

We're going to be safe here for a while.

I got the antibody steroids.

Hey.

Hey. Anyone see you?

No.

Nobody saw me.

You see outside it?

Yeah.

And?

Killed him dead.

How many?

Where?

Just the lady.

The men are complete.

No men.

No others.

There were fresh tracks and food.

If there were, they were probably out
hunting here. I scoped the area for a

before sniping the woman and breaching.

You sure you weren't followed?

Yeah. I dove back twice for the
snowfall, I'm sure.

It'll be too dangerous to go back there
for a while.

You see any supplies?

I didn't see any real value.

The perimeter defenses were non
-existent.

I didn't think they had guns.

Everyone has guns.

But it's impossible.

There should be half a rack of jerky
left.

Just the salmon stuff we made the other
day. I just checked.

But I know there was half a rack of
jerky in there.

Maybe the wolves got in.

I told you to patch that up. I did.

Maybe they outsmarted us again.

Fuck.

We're gonna need to get some red meat
for winter.

I'll go.

Dad, I can handle it.

I got the antibiotics tonight.

I just don't want us making any more
unnecessary risks with me being hurt and

all. Dad, I got it.

I'll patch the cellar up before I head
out.

You're right.

Sometimes I forget you've grown into a
man.

Don't you go near that farm, though.

They'll be looking for the people that
wronged them.

I won't.

I don't know.

Are there others here?

What are you doing in my house?

Are there others here?

Please, Joe, kill me. I said are there
others here?

No.

You're not lying, are you?

Did you tell others about me?

Did you follow me?

What are you doing here?

I...

Then

why don't you just leave?

I'm not afraid to kill you.

What do you...

I came to meet you.

Do you have a name?

Jake.

I'm Henrietta.

Do you wanna get those clothes dry?

Maybe take a hot shower?

I'll finish making some food, and then
maybe you can tell me why you're

in my house pointing a gun at me.

I'll fix it or I'll break it!

Did you turn the handle on the right?

What did you do with my gun?

Created it.

Why'd you do that?

Please just leave.

For God's sakes.

I could kill you just as easily with
this.

I couldn't do it. Just do it already.

Are you done?

Don't touch my gun again.

I'll give it to you when you leave.

Now the knife, hand it over. How can I
trust you?

I'm trusting you by letting you be in my
home.

Now show me the same respect.

A man without a gun is nothing.

Well, I don't like them in my house,
especially when I'm putting them in my

face.

We'll get it back to you when we leave.

Is that plastic?

Yeah.

It's all wrapped.

Is it ready to go?

Why would they go on this page?

See?

Was that you snooping around here last
week?

Do you want to share why?

Medicine.

Well, what for?

My dad got a pretty bad infection. We're
low on preps.

Well, why didn't you just ask?

Because I wasn't sure if you were
dangerous.

Then how do you know that I'm not?

How do you survive here without guns?

Pretty well, actually.

And what do you do when outsiders come
to attack?

Well, you're the first person in my
entire life that has ever pointed a gun

me.

I've never had soup like this.

Homegrown chilies, that's my secret
ingredient.

I think that the cold, wet climate up
here makes them sweeter.

Granted, you have to grow them in a
greenhouse, kind of like tricking them

feeling safe and warm.

I think I can taste it.

Taste what?

That you tricked them.

I'm feeling safe and warm.

It's amazing.

So it's just you and your dad?

There's no family or visitors?

No. No one like us.

Just the outsiders.

Tell me more about how you live.

I should really be going.

Oh, wait, Jake.

You can stay the night.

Just leave first thing in the morning.
You know, let your clothes dry. No, I

have to get some venison.

I hate our jerky.

What? Why?

Dad doesn't want contact with outsiders.

So I had to get out for a hunt without
suspicion.

Why doesn't your dad want contact with
outsiders?

Because outsiders are dangerous.

It's frozen.

It's ready to go.

Well, it's yours if you want.

You can stay the night and wait out the
storm and let your clothes dry if you'd

like.

I gotta head out.

Jake, your gun is in the kitchen
cabinet.

I found it.

I hope your dad is okay.

Thanks.

I hope to see you again.

Do you know where to find me?

What took you so long?

So long it took?

Three days to go to the banks in a bag
of dough.

No deer at the banks, so I had to hike
to the meadows.

That's where this is from?

Yeah.

Where's the rest?

I didn't get a clean shot.

Wolf's got the rest.

It's all I could salvage.

So how'd you make that clean cut?

I used a saw.

I stole it from that farm.

Do you want to press charges?

No, I don't want to press charges. I
want to know who he is.

Did you ask him?

Okay, what I mean is I want to know if
he's okay.

You said he's a grown man.

Yeah.

To be frank, this department doesn't
have the manpower to comb through the

because of some bad vibes.

In a 10 -mile radius, we have...

72 drilling rigs operated by miscreants
who couldn't work at a gas station.

That leaves the four of us to police a
mob of drunk, angry boys who are going

be gone in a month when the season's
over.

You know, I've got assault, rape,
murder.

So it sounds like to me, your mole
person's one of the good ones.

Jake. What?

His name is Jake.

My father's name is Troy.

I'm getting you my number.

I understand that you're busy, and if,
you know, just keep an ear out.

Thank you for the detail of the count.

Thank you. Have a good day. You're
served.

What's this?

I added chilies to it.

Those to keep the animals off the
garden.

You know that, Jake.

Yeah, I know, but it makes this taste
amazing.

What are you doing?

I wanted to try something new.

What has gotten into you, Jake?

What is going on?

The Swiss family Robinson used oyster
shells to eat mussels and ate lobsters

with biscuits.

I mean, they have fun trying new things
and making feasts. Why can't we?

We eat to live.

We don't live to eat, Jake.

You're being ridiculous.

The families in National Geographic have
tables full of food, big spreads, end

to end.

What'd you see?

Something I saw once.

Where?

Been reading some new books.

What books?

Stuff I found myself.

Stuff that I scavenged. Of the outsiders
you've shot over the years.

This make you feel good?

Keeping this stuff from me?

You keep stuff from me? No, I do not.

I have never lied to you.

Yeah, I'm not so sure.

Well, you should be.

How do you know that lady deserved to
die?

She was an outsider.

But how do you know she deserved to die?

Jake, I know you must be feeling bad.

about killing that lady and all.

But you gotta know it's for the best.

You did what you had to do.

Don't second -guess it.

It's just wasting valuable time.

I don't know that I had to kill her.

Well, what makes you say that?

I think she was harmless to us.

I think she could have maybe helped us.

Jakey, you have to understand that just
because she was a woman, it doesn't

change anything.

Outsiders are out.

that'll ruin our world.

I think I could have brought her back
here.

Started a family. If this was Family
Robinson.

Are you serious?

What if you die, Dad?

I need to be able to finish what you
started here.

Have a family like you and Mom had me.

Maybe you're right.

I wouldn't have anything without you.

Maybe we need to start preparing you for
a future without me.

I'm not trying to upset you, Dad.

I'm just trying to prepare like you
taught me.

We should go look together.

It's no better.

I mean, you're not going to know what
you're looking at.

I don't want you getting your hopes up
either.

They're all lying whores.

Found the missing jerky.

Oh, yeah?

Whereabouts?

It was out past the creek.

A raccoon must have buried it for
safekeeping.

Raccoons don't bury their food.

No, they don't, do they?

You want to tell me what the fuck is
going on?

We were going to clean this until I know
you're sorry about lying to me.

Do what?

What had gotten into you?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Your whole attitude has changed.

Are you sure that there's not something
you want to admit to me?

No, sir.

Have you seen outsiders?

No. Jason.

Have you seen outsiders?

No!

None besides the one you had me shoot
dead.

And are you 100 % sure she's dead?

She's dead, Dad.

Dead like Mom.

What is happening to you is not what's
happening to me.

It's what you said it was out there.

What? What about it? I've seen people
and places, and it is not the chaos and

marauders that you've always described.
Jakey, you haven't seen shit.

We are miles away from the real shit.

Why do you think I brought you all the
way up here?

To keep you safe.

Away from the chaos.

You want to ruin everything that I built
for us here?

I think you're wrong.

Where the hell are you going?

To bring her back.

Bring who back?

I'm going to show you, Dad. She's okay.

Wait, wait.

You're the one who's in the wrong here,
Jake.

I just don't want you to get hurt.

Dad, if you are ever going to trust me,
then you need to let me go.

I'm a grown man.

Fishy?

Blackwater muffled.

You dove for those without a wetsuit?

Yeah. Place I call the wall.

Were you freezing?

I was a little cold, but I had a fire
waiting.

It's been snowing. How do you make a
fire in the snow?

Yellow cedar shaving will light a fire.

Even when it's raining hard.

I've got a lighter for emergencies, but
I don't like to use it.

Not when everything I need can be
scavenged.

The drill could save your life.

The drill?

Set traps?

Better to be prepared than not.

I don't need any traps.

Just in case.

I like knowing you're protected.

Freshwater mussels.

Dad says cooking them over a fire is too
much work, but... I like it.

so easy.

What do you mean?

I just... Existing here, there's a
balance, a beauty to

it.

I've been at it for some time now, and I
think that you would do better with

your hands tied behind your back.

That's all I know.

What else do you want to know?

Stuff nobody can answer.

Yeah?

Like what?

Like... Where do we go when we die?

What do you think?

Well, Dad says we go in the dirt and
stay there.

Swiss family Robinson believe in Jesus.

What do you think?

Well, I think we go in the dirt and get
eaten up by the plants, like the big

trees and the yellow cedar that I shaved
today.

Then we can go lots of places.

We could grow into leaves atop the
forest one day to fall back down to the

and do it all over again.

Or maybe a fairy that a bird eats takes
us on a ride far away from here.

Constant circle of life.

She's the very top.

The tallest golden spruce in the entire
forest.

A tree so beautiful when you see it, it
breathes you right where you stand.

Thank you, Jake.

For what?

Just for being you.

I want you to come home with me.

I think you'll love it.

What would that look like, Jake?

Like an old oil painting.

Like a family living in harmony with
nature.

Giving back more than we take.

Growing slowly with the tallest trees.

Like heaven.

But a real one.

Right here.

Jake, I'm old enough to know better, so
I'm just going to say this.

What happened last night was pretty
amazing.

I don't want to rush things.

I don't think that's good for either of
us.

You don't want to be with me?

No.

I don't know. I mean, we just met.

And I'm not in a position in my life to
be making big decisions like that.

I have some stuff I need to deal with
today, and I don't think you should stay

here. I'm sorry.

And I can help you.

It's personal.

I'll see you soon, though, okay? I
promise.

When?

I don't know. Maybe in a few days.

Do you know where they live?

Jake, he just... Stops by from time to
time. Stops by?

Ma 'am, are you in danger?

Well, what did you find out?

Do any of these places or dates mean
anything to you?

No. How old is Jake?

I'd say 25.

On December 11, 2002, in Chicago, Troy
Belter kidnaps his son and attempts

murder on Miss Chandry.

House burns down and arson is suspected.

What are the chances?

The only thing we have on the son of a
bitch is his Illinois State driver's

license. I've never seen Jake sad.

That's what I'm glad I can't.

I don't know.

You sure?

home, huh?

Town.

It's rich.

Two plane rides to a ferry and to
another plane that almost killed me.

To a skiff.

I think it's pretty safe to say this is
not a town.

How are they?

They're good.

They're where they want to be, home.

Don't be an ass, Andy.

I'm not.

I'm just being real.

Thank you.

How you doing?

Okay.

It's been pretty rough, but I think I'm
starting to find what I was looking for.

And what exactly was that?

Again, just to be clear.

In nature.

That's it?

Nature?

You still get it, like, even a little
bit.

No, I guess I don't.

We met when we were so young.

I don't think we even knew who we were
then.

And I never wanted to live in the city.

Maybe I wasn't ready for the
responsibility of kids.

But then we did, and...

Your job, and it was like we were stuck.

Every day, worse than the last.

And the city and the people, it was
eating me alive.

I honestly think it poisons the purity
people are supposed to have in balance,

where things matter more than just
money.

You know what I think?

I think you're going through an early
midlife crisis.

And you don't know what you need right
now.

You could have got another job.

You could have gotten out of the house
once in a while.

But instead, you're... What?

You're here.

It was like I was just waiting to die.

I tried to tell you and the kids what I
needed, only to land on deaf ears.

I was ignored and hated.

Like it was some kind of unattainable
reality.

Look at you.

You're up here hiding from the real
world. I'm not hiding.

I can't go back to who I was.

The kids like living in the city, Ann.

With their friends and school.

Because they don't know anything else.

I think I should have full custody of
the kids.

What? You chose to come up here without
them, without us.

Over and over, I begged you and them to
come with me.

All it did was alienate me from my own
family. What was I supposed to do?

Anne,

you're the only person that wanted this.

Just you. I can't. I can't. I can't see.

Do you ever think maybe they don't want
to see you?

All you do is hurt them.

And yourself.

And let's be honest, they're not going
to make this god awful trip up to this

shithole to visit you anymore. Fuck you,
Andy.

Go back to your suburban pacifier.

I'm going to get a lawyer to fix this.

I'll get a lawyer to fix this. Good
luck.

Don't forget you wanted this, not me.
Not like this. Not fair. No, what's not

fair is bailing and thinking you have
the same rights as responsible parents.

What the fuck are you doing?

Who the fuck are you?

Oh, wow.

Even legal?

Wait till the kids find out Mom's
banging a boy.

Good luck finding a lawyer in buttfuck
nowhere.

Leave me alone!

Why are you following me? What the fuck
do you want?

Who was that man? It's my husband. It's
on the goddamn list.

You have a husband?

Get the fuck away from my truck!

I don't know how to get home from here.

Jake,

you need to go home right now. Who are
you? You need to leave.

How could you do this to me?

Yes, Jake. I have an ex -husband. And I
have two kids. And you don't know

anything about it. You don't need to
know anything about it. And you don't

to judge me.

I betrayed my father. And for what?

People did awful things during the wars,
but I would never, ever leave my family

or betray my wife.

The wars.

World War III, man's last mistake.

World War III?

December 11th, 2002.

Yeah, it rewrote history.

There was no World War III.

What happened to your mother and you
that day was awful, but there was no

War. What are you talking about?

Why are you lying?

Jake. I'm so sorry.

I had no idea what kind of fucked up
shit your father's been telling you all

cooped up out there in the woods.

But there was no World War III.

He kidnapped you and he tried to kill
your mother.

Stop lying to me! Okay, I can't do this.
I have my own shit to deal with.

Where did you get this?

Do you know where that man is?

What is this?

I need to know who this man is.

Don't come here again.

You decided to come back.

I want the truth.

About what? About everything.

I have never lied to you about anything.

What about the wars?

There were no marauders?

Gangs of limbless men? Psychos trying to
kill each other?

You need to go further, Jake.

There you'll see the fucked up, damaged
world.

Did World War III happen?

Did the wars happen?

Yes. Flying.

December 11th, 2002.

The day humanity died, shit hit the fan.

So there was no real war?

A conventional war, no, but a war
nonetheless. We barely escaped.

Why did we kill this man?

Why did we kill any man?

Us or them?

There's a family looking for this man. A
little girl.

Dad, why did we kill him?

He was going to kill us.

Jake, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Dad, that man said something to me
before he died.

He was dying, and he knew it. And all he
said to me was, tell my daughter that I

love her.

You are out of your depths, son.

The human species has gone AWOL.

They don't know what's right or wrong
any longer.

What happened to her?

I don't want to talk about it. I want to
know what this lying whore has been

filling your head with. Nothing. She's
not... I just want the truth, Dad.

You want the truth.

I want to know who she is. Who is she?

It doesn't matter. Is she the woman that
you said you'd kill?

Did you fuck her?

Yes, Dad.

And I bet in that moment you felt better
than you ever had in the whole world.

And then she fucked you over, didn't
she?

She lied to me.

She has a family.

She abandoned her family.

I know how much that can hurt, son.

You have fallen prey to the world.

Like I always said you would.

People seem good.

I tried to protect you from all this.

It really felt like I could trust her.

It's okay. Sometimes we have to learn
the hard way.

They're all liars.

I have told you this so many times.

I know.

Then why don't you believe me?

I don't know.

Do you not trust me?

You believe there are good people out
there, Dad?

They're all filthy, lying, greedy
cheaters.

It takes time for some of them to reveal
their true colors, but you can't trust

one of them.

How do you know for sure?

With age and wisdom, you earn the power
of judgment.

Did she give this to you?

She found it.

Does she know you know her?

She needs to die, Jake.

Does she have to?

Do you want them to take all of this
away from us?

To take us away from each other?

Why would they take us away from each
other?

To protect us from them.

I've had to do things that they deem
wrong, but I know all right.

I've got to go finish breaking that deer
down.

You pack our bags.

We leave before nightfall.

Yes sir.

What are you doing?

We can't kill her, Dad.

She's probably just like us.

She's made mistakes just like us, but
you don't kill someone for that.

You can't be certain of that, Jake.

But what I can be certain of is when she
is dead, she will no longer be a danger

to us.

I'm not certain.

But I am willing to bet my life in place
of hers.

You really mean that?

Oh, for both our sakes, I hope you're
not wrong.

Dad, let me go to her.

I can trick her, make her feel safe and
warm, and she will never be a problem

for us ever again.

I'm trusting you with that.

I want to show you something I should
have shown you a long time ago.

Come on.

Go on.

All the way in there.

All the way to the back.

Sometimes the things we do in life don't
make sense straight away.

But in time they do.

I'm sorry, Jake.

But you don't understand what is going
on here.

That woman is a poison in our world.

Let me out!

You shouldn't have lied about killing
her. Dad, listen to me. I promise you

she's not going to hurt us, okay? You
may be willing to risk your life for

but I am not.

I know what a woman like that can do.

Dad, dad, dad.

Listen to me, listen to me.

She's not going to hurt us, I promise
you.

She's not going to hurt us.

I'm going now.

I'm going to clean up your mess.

You fucking liar!

You said you never met the father. I
haven't. And the son never mentioned

anything about the missing hunter?

Um... So it could be Jake. No.

No? You said he attacked your husband.
It was a misunderstanding.

It was a violent misunderstanding.

Jake is not a killer. So after the flyer
business, he just disappeared into the

woods, roughly?

He was really upset, and he went into
the woods, yes.

Yeah, well, me and one of the boys are
going to escort you back for safety,

because right now there's only one other
trooper, and he's four hours behind us.

Oh, no, no, no, that's... I'm fine.

I'm fine. Thank you, though.

It's okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Let him go!

Let him go!

Don't look at him. You leave him alone.

You fucking leave him alone!

Come on, let him go! It's gonna be okay.

We just want to have a look -see. Is
that really necessary?

Jake!

No, they're cops!

Put the gun down. They're here to help
us.

Put the gun on the ground and drop to
your knees.

No, no, no, no. He's fine.

It's okay. He didn't know. He doesn't
know.

Henrietta, you need to move to the side.

He didn't mean any harm. I promise.

Put the gun on the ground.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not fucking okay. What the fuck
is happening? I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. It's okay. It's my father.

He's coming to kill you.

We need to get you somewhere safe.

I have an idea.

It's a trap.

I gotta go now.

Do not backtrack.

Help me follow my tracks.

Dad? I know you're here.

Where is she?

No.

This has to happen, Jake.

No, it doesn't.

She's a good person.

She shouldn't fucking die because you're
not.

You woman, you think you can just fuck
up a man's life and there'll be no

consequences?

Well, I got news for you.

Not me!

You children can continue to fuck up the
world.

Corrupting my son.

There are snakes like you that are
ruining humanity.

Poisoning my son.

I'll be the last mistake.

You.

Thank you.

of your book.

Who the hell was it?

I didn't realize it right then and
there, but my faith in humanity was

pretty close to your father's.

Truly, I fear that I could have ended up
just like him, isolated and

bitter at the world.

It took him almost killing us for me to
realize just how far I had let myself

go.

And while I still struggle at times with
the world we live in today, you gave me

something back I was missing.

The belief there is still good in the
world.

I thank you for that, Jake.

It's the greatest gift a person could
give.

I didn't know about this one.

It's outside the perimeter.

Dad called this area no man's land.

I don't know how I feel about luck these
days.

I know I'm prepared for the worst if
that should ever actually happen.

But really, I'm just hopeful.

Hopeful for my future.

Hopeful for this world.
