Original subtitles

They'll ask you one day

to tell them the story

of how the world was saved.

They'll want to know how we found our heroes

and together fought back.

But to tell that story,

you'll have to tell them how it was before.

You're too young to remember how green the world was,

how light, how full of hope,

and how we were too blinded

by the light of our own happiness

to see the darkness

buried right under our own feet.

And when it finally came,

it had only one purpose:

to destroy all that was good.

It was men who fought first, because that's what men do.

We fought, we bled, we lost.

So our mothers, our wives, our daughters, our sisters,

they picked up the sword.

They put on the Kodiak colors,

and made sure this was a war we could not lose.

-Commander.

Let them go.

Commander.

Commander.

This world has been broken many times.

And you don't listen to directions.

- Commander. - Keep it low.

Commander.

I'm with you.

Don't leave Kodiak.

We're with you, Commander.

We're with you, Commander.

Ready your positions.

Fire!

Fire!

This world has been broken many times,

and the Breakers are always different.

Sometimes they come from space, sometimes from underground.

Sometimes they're human.

Sometimes animal.

Other times no form at all.

A germ.

A disease. An energy.

But they bring death.

Always death.

But death is always followed by rebirth.

Destruction by renewal.

When that first Stitch opened 15 years ago,

this age old cycle started again.

You see, the Stitch was always there.

Mother Earth had just buried it deep,

deep down to protect us,

to protect her most cherished creations.

And then we--

cut down the forest, melted the ice,

opened up the Stitch and let all the Breakers out.

Blah, blah, blah.

Uh, young lady,

just who is telling the story here?

-Okay, well, you've told this story a million times, Dad.

I want a Kodiak story.

Well, you heard one this morning, so sshh.

As I was saying.

The destruction of the boreal forests--

-Kodiak.

-Or we can do maths.

- Kodiak. - How about algebra?

-Kodiak. -Let's do some algebra.

- Kodiak. - How about physics?

- Kodiak. - Okay.

Silence, silence.

Willa wins again.

This is the story of how Kodiak

took out a hundred Breakers

with one swipe of his mighty ax.

It was just a year after the Stitch had opened

and our brave forces were gathered in Glasgow

for their first assault.

The nights were long and wet and windy.

The only thing that kept them going were these stories.

My dad is a born storyteller.

-...teeth like daggers.

He says our stories are as important

as our guns and our swords.

Especially now.

They could fight.

Stories give those of us

that are still left, hope.

They inspire our warriors,

like my mom, to keep fighting.

Out in the dark, in the wet.

He tells me these things not to scare me,

but to remind me that one day,

they'll need me to tell the story.

The story of how we pulled ourselves

away from all this darkness and death and destruction...

- And that morning... - and found the light.

they were ready to fight.

-Were there flowers on the island?

Yeah, there were flowers.

Thousands of reds and purples

and yellows...

colors like you wouldn't believe.

The island was so bright...

It was so beautiful,

like heaven.

-Heaven?

Don't worry.

It sounds closer than it really is.

Were there animals on the island?

-Back then? So many.

Maybe...maybe there still are.

Bunnies?

-Bunnies and birds

and badgers.

All right, birthday girl.

-I'm gonna go grab some presents.

-Mom?

-Yeah, baby?

-Will you have to go away again?

Attention! Attention!

Return to your blocks and await further instructions.

This is not a drill.

Repeat:

this is not a drill.

Return to your blocks. immediately.

Attention! Attention!

Okay, make a wish.

Whoooooo!

Happy birthday, sweetie.

-Thank you. -Here you go.

-Mom, it's beautiful.

And it's warm.

-Well, it'll be cold there. She'll need it.

-There?

- Where are we going? - Okay, my turn.

All right. Now.

I know you're not my wee Willa Gorilla anymore--

-Dad, I am 15.

-Yes, but seeing that you've never had a real one,

I thought maybe...

-Oh, you're so cute. I love him.

What is it?

-That's a dog.

Helen Travis on the 9 Bloc makes them.

Proceeds go to veterans.

-Well, maybe someday we'll find you

a real one.

-What's his name?

-Well, he's yours now.

You name him.

It's time, ma'am.

-Five minutes.

-Yes, sir.

-Willa. Fill it up. Essentials only.

Just clothes, boot, thermos, okay?

Yeah, him too.

-How long will we be gone?

-Just fill it up, Willa.

But Dad...

Essentials only.

Essentials only.

Baby.

-Okay. I'm good. I'm good.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

-I love you.

-You closed that Stitch.

I don't understand.

-One closes, another one opens.

We can't hold the line anymore.

We lost the 8th battalion two hours ago,

near Coventry.

Christ.

You know, we've got 15 veterans in this Bloc alone.

We could still fight.

-You did. You did fight.

-I can fight again.

Listen to me.

You get one bite, even a single scratch-

-Oh, look who's talking.

-It's been 72 hours.

I'm clear.

-You're not totally immune, you know.

No matter how badass you may be.

Oh, s o now you think I'm a badass?

-Yeah.

is dead. Well, that's it, then.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Shh.

It's okay.

- This way. - Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Make your way to the last truck now.

-Go, go, go!

- How close are they? - Eight clicks north.

-Are there any Hybrids? -Of course there's Hybrids.

And if you don't get your ass in there fast,

you're gonna become one. Go on!

Go! Come on! Go, go, go!

This one's going to Mercy Bay, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Get in.

I need to ride in the front, lead the convoy.

I'll see you when you get there. Okay?

-Mom, where?

Mom--Mom, where are we going?

-Dad, where are we-- -Someplace safe. Come on.

-Listen up. I don't care who your wife is.

You so much as sneeze, you so much as cough...

-I've seen it happen. If it happens to me,

I will pull the trigger myself.

Hurry.

Shut your eyes now.

-You know why dudes can turn and not us?

DNA, right?

-'Cause we don't have time for that shit?

-You know, you're not totally immune.

No matter how badass you think you are.

She's right. No one is.

We can turn. I'm sure.

Anybody can.

The male brain is simple.

Synapses in straight lines.

One-lane roads.

The infection burns them out quick.

Our synapses are like webs that stretch clear

across our brains

and cross each other multiple times.

-We're more complicated.

That's right.

-Is my brain more complicated?

Lady, you are a female teenager.

You're damn near indestructible.

Ready to fight.

Just like Kodiak.

-What about Kodiak?

He's not a woman.

He's killed over a hundred Breakers.

I'm sure he's gotten scratched.

Kodiak can never turn.

I heard he's part Breaker himself.

-A hundred Breakers? I heard it was 300.

-What does it matter the number?

Point is he did it.

His pet bear killed at least 50.

- Pet bear. - Kodiak is a bear.

- Look at the bloody heraldry. - You're wrong.

The bear is how he got the name.

He raised it from a cub he found in Anchorage.

-My dad's fought with him.

-If I had a pound for every man

who said they'd fought with Kodiak.

-Tell them. -No. It doesn't matter.

-It was in the Scottish blitz.

-I heard nobody got out of that one unscathed.

-No one did.

-Kodiak has a bear?

You never told me that.

-It doesn't matter.

They're stories is all.

Bear or no bear, he still fights like one.

Like we need to fight.

Tooth and claw.

-I think I'm gonna call him "Bear"

because he fights with Kodiak.

-Welcome to the family, Bear.

We'll be there soon, my love.

Try and get some sleep.

Why have we stopped? What's happening?

Breakers! Breakers!

Fall back! Fall back!

On the left! On the left! Go!

Stay in the truck.

Watch out!

Go! Go, go, go!

- This way. - Dad.

- Come with me. - Get down, get down.

Hey!

-Go, go, go!

Get up. Get up. Get up.

Under. Get under. Go.

Nooooo!

Yeah!

-Mom! -Let's go.

-Mom. Mom.

Come on. I got you.

You're okay now.

That was the last of them.

Come on.

What happened?

-They were on us before we could react.

Three of them.

Get everyone off the road into the forest.

It's safer.

- You heard her. - Get off the road.

Get out of the road into the forest.

Quickly.

Come on.

Get everyone off the road!

-Christ. How long have I got!?

Five, ten minutes?

-Everyone's different.

I'll stay with you till it's over.

We're safe here.

-Your face.

Oh, it's okay. It's human, not Breaker.

It's not too far.

-Mersey Bay's-- -It's west.

It's four kilometers, maybe five.

We'll get there by dawn.

- Can you run? - Why?

Want to race?

-Take my gun.

- No, there's no point. - It'll slow 'em down at best.

-Listen to me.

We're gonna make it through this.

But you cannot stop.

You can be afraid but you can't let it stop you.

Let what scares you move you forward.

You understand?

I love you, Willa.

I have to stay.

-Mom...no.

-I have to stay. I have to fight.

-You said we were going. You said we had to go.

-They need me.

You said we ..

You said we ..

-They need me.

-I need you.

I need you.

Please. Please.

- Hybrids. - It's a Hybrids.

They're coming.

-We'll hold them back. You go!

-Come on. -Go.

-Everyone go! Go! -No! Mom, no!

With me!

-Not that way. This way.

-What? -Come on.

-But, Dad, we need to go

-with them. -No. Move!

-Do what you gotta do.

- Keep moving. - We're almost there.

How much further is it?

Not far.

Remember the stories I told you?

Back in the day before you were born,

when Mom and I would go fishing?

You mean when there were fish?

I thought you made those up.

Get that.

It's small, but it's seaworthy.

-It's not that small.

We could still take a couple of those people with us.

-This is our path, not theirs.

-But we could help.

-Willa, this is our path. You and me.

We cannot think about anyone else right now, okay?

Come on.

-Isn't that how the world breaks?

-Please. Undo the rope.

Hey.

Yours?

No. No.

We're just checking it, looking for food.

-It's your boat.

-Okay. Okay. It's our boat.

And you're going to get me out of here.

Those things are coming.

Come on. Get it in the water.

-Okay, we're just not gonna go very far without petrol.

You don't think I'd leave it here with a tank

full of gas, d'you? For someone to steal?

No. The motor's dry.

-So where's the fucking gas?

-It's in the boot of one of the cars around the corner.

-Okay. Come on.

Come on.

-Willa, stay here. Just stay here. Okay?

- Let's go. - Okay.

Is it just you?

-It is now.

Ever wonder what it means?

-What?

-What it means it's just only us gets hit?

Not our wives, not our mothers, not our daughters.

-Well, women have turned. It's male biology.

-It attacks the Y chromosome-- -We're evil.

That's what it means.

The world wanted revenge, and it knew who to blame.

Some things you just can't wash off.

Open it.

Open it.

-Just getting my key.

-Come on, come on. Let's go.

-What about the man?

- He got scared. - He ran off.

Come on, help me.

On my count.

One, two, three.

-What do you say, Bear?

Do you want to get some breakfast?

Hold on tight, Bear.

We're almost there.

Sorry, Mrs. Tern.

I'll only take three.

You'll see.

It's not so bad having just one.

-Nothing in the snares?

-Mm-mm.

What?

-Oh, come on. You're always happy

when those traps are empty.

-That's not true.

Need to eat, Willa.

Not just tinned beans and scraps from the garden.

And you need protein.

-So do you, skinny!

Look.

-I told you that climb is too risky.

-It's easy, Dad.

Now, don't get cocky, young lady.

Anything happens to you...

All right, take them inside.

We'll eat them when I'm done.

Put some wood on the fire.

The dry stuff: the wet stuff is too smoky.

-Why don't you let me split the wood sometimes?

Huh? Hmm?

I mean, I can swing an ax like Kodiak

taking off a Breaker's head, unlike you.

- Oh, yeah? - You think so?

Are you trying me?

All right, show me.

Okay.

-Come on.

Show me how you swing that sword.

You win, I'll let you split the rest.

Come on.

Haa!

-You're not ready, Willa.

You need more training.

Oh, good. Kindling.

Did you see what happened

when you first approached me head on like that?

I feinted, you passed and I came in from behind

and gave myself the advantage. Understand?

Mm-hm.

-Good. Don't worry, I'll carve you another.

Bring some of this firewood in, okay?

Special tonight only:

tern egg omelets,

French green beans.

Get it while you can.

What are you doing?

-I like the way that she did it.

Can you help me?

-Okay. Coming.

-Did she teach you?

No. I had to learn by watching her do it.

Just like you're learning watching me...

to hunt, to run, to climb, to fight.

To survive.

And when this war is over, you'll get to learn the rest.

-What's the rest?

-To live.

-How will she know what I look like now?

Oh, Willa, it's only been a year.

-Only?

She could pass me on the street and she wouldn't recognize me.

-Oh, I think you're overestimating.

-Do you think she's met Kodiak?

-Sure. Of course.

Why not?

-If she's with Kodiak, she's safe.

Okay.

How is it?

-Looks just like how she did it.

Thank you.

-Can we eat?

Okay. Just one

and then you eat, okay?

Just one story, and then we eat.

This is the story of when

Kodiak was way up north.

He was collecting firewood

for the long, cold winter ahead.

Now remember, for Kodiak, gathering firewood

is not like what we do, picking up sticks and driftwood.

No, no.

He could take down an entire tree with his ax,

an entire forest...

And with every blow of that mighty ax,

thunder would rumble through the sky.

You know, he made that ax himself.

He carved the handle from an English oak

that had been hit by lightning,

forged it from steel from an old Welsh mining ground.

Diamond hard.

Indestructible.

The day he was heading back to his camp...

he heard something,

something no one had ever heard before.

He was the first to see it. The Stitch.

And crawling out of it--

- Breakers. - Mmm.

-But he wasn't scared?

-Of course he wasn't scared.

He was ready to fight.

Yes. And fight he did.

And he took out a hundred Breakers

with one swipe of his mighty ax.

-Well, it was one Breaker,

-actually. -Aww.

But it was the first.

Many more came after, we know that.

But this was the first,

and this is how we learned that to kill 'em, you have...

-...to take off his head.

Decap. Only way to do it.

-Not the only way.

The fastest. Bullets work,

but they're not as effective.

It slows them down, but it doesn't kill them.

The end. Time for dinner.

-These stories...

Yeah?

-About Kodiak...

Mm-hm?

-You know them so well.

-Every parent does.

-Are you sure...?

-What?

-...he's not you?

Willa.

Well, it sounds like you.

Strong. Powerful.

Good with an ax.

-Oh, please. Go on, go on.

-When I fought, we would go into battle

knowing there was a giant out there with an ax

made of lightning slicing through Breakers

like a hot knife through butter.

Kodiak gives us hope.

If he could stand tall,

if he could save this world from breaking--

-Maybe you could.

Because he's totally you.

-Willa, these stories are important.

We need to keep telling them how the Stitch opened,

how the first Breakers came, then the Hybrids,

and how we stood tall, how we fought back,

found our heroes.

And one day, when this world is bright

and green and alive again,

we will go back.

-Do you believe that?

Oh, yes, I do.

-Why?

-Because when I look at you, I'm reminded.

-Of what?

-Hope.

Yeah. Now have your dinner.

You said there used to be bunnies out here.

Is that true?

Oh, yeah. Hundreds.

-It's so cold here. Ugh.

You think she's warm, Bear?

No, she doesn't have fur like you!

I know she's fighting, but...

wherever she is...

I just hope she's warm.

They can't see us, can they?

No. They don't see like we do.

Don't even think they have eyes.

But they have other senses, ones we don't have.

And the Hybrids...

well, the Breakers use them as their eyes and ears,

kind of like they're connected somehow, you know?

Brain to brain.

-But they don't know we're here, right?

On this island?

-If they did, my love, we wouldn't be on this island.

-What about the land mines?

-Just a precaution.

-To stop the Breakers?

-To stop anyone.

Here, eat up.

You're gonna need your energy.

-Why do they want to hurt us

if we didn't do anything to them?

-Remember our lessons about insects, ants?

How they'd kill the wasp

trying to invade their ant hill?

-Yeah.

-Well, maybe it's like that.

They think we're like the wasp trying to invade their home

so they eliminate the threat.

Us.

-It's our home too.

-That it is, that it is.

So we'd better be ready to fight for it.

Are you ready to fight, maggot?

Thirty-three seconds.

Can't you hear them?

The Breakers are coming.

What do you do when you hear my horn?

Get to the cottage.

Forty-eight seconds.

Which direction is the cottage from the White Cliffs?

North!

How far?

Point four miles.

Faster, maggot. Come on.

Dodge those Breakers.

The Hybrids are coming.

They're coming for your little doggy.

-"Save me, Willa. Save me."

-Fifty-nine.

Which direction to the Boat Cove!?

East...no, south!!

They're behind you.

Come on. Move it, maggot.

Breakers are coming.

Come on. Almost there.

-A minute 10.

-How d'you kill a Breaker? -What?

How d'you kill a Breaker?

- Decap. - Show me.

-And a hybrid?

-Decap.

No, not enough.

-Brains.

Smash the brain! Aahh!

-Minute 22. That's not bad.

But you can do better.

Feel that, maggot?

Warrior burn.

-Okay. What now?

-On your mark!

Get set--

Come on, maggot!

Yeah, I know, Bear.

He's a monster.

-Your reward.

-For not dying?

-For not quitting.

-It's not a bug, is it?

Oh, I wish it were.

More protein.

-What are they?

-Strawberries. Try one.

They've always grown wild here.

I just assumed they died out with everything else.

But this island, it's special.

Somehow they're still holding on.

-Split them?

No, you have them all.

-I've tried them before. -Okay.

-No, no. -Urgh.

-Just the red bit.

-Ah.

Yeah.

Life's little pleasures.

Used to be a lot more of them, back in the old days.

-Strawberries?

-Pleasures.

Your mom...

when we got married just before you were born,

before the Stitch,

all she wanted for the wedding party

was strawberry shortcake.

What is strawberry shortcake?

It's a yellow cake, sweet whipped cream,

and dozens of those.

-Dozens?

Did she like them?

-Like them?!

She ate the whole damn cake.

Didn't leave a crumb for anyone else.

She was the...

She is the life of the party.

Always has been.

And she loves strawberries.

Like you do, apparently.

Die, Breaker, die!

How do you kill a Breaker, Bear?

Oh, okay...

I told you, you need to cut off the head.

We're nearly there now.

Oh, stop complaining, Bear.

I don't think I will.

I can't believe he doesn't think I'm ready yet.

"Not strong enough, Willa, to fight."

To fight like mom fights.

You know what? No...

he just thinks that I can't do what he did to that man,

but I could fight if I had to...

Hey!

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Stop! Stop!

Don't move! Stop!

Stop moving now!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stoooppp!

Okay. It's okay.

Just...

Okay, no, you're fine.

Okay, just don't move and take a step back, okay?

Just...

Just look at my legs, okay?

You do one.

Okay. Now two.

Okay, okay. Don't move.

Let's get back from this.

Okay.

Oh.

Okay.

Um...You're okay.

You're okay.

-Do you want to tell me what happened?

Are you alone?

Is someone out there?

Everyone.

They're all out there.

-No. Everyone's okay.

No, no, no, no, no. It's fine.

No, it's fine, okay?

Um...uh...uh, no. Okay, you know what?

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna take you someplace warm, okay?

Let's...let's go someplace warm.

Okay. This is my.

It's okay.

Just take my hand, and let's get you inside.

Okay, just a little further.

Stay right there.

I'll start a fire, okay?

Let's get you warmed up.

-Here you go.

Drink something.

You must be thirsty.

You're bleeding.

-I must've hit my head on the boat.

-What boat?

-We were headed up the coast to my grandma's house.

Said it'd be safer there.

Something came up from below.

Knocked us over.

My dad, brother, we all went in the water.

We didn't know they could swim,

-and it was big. -No, it's okay.

You're okay now.

I'm Willa.

What's your name?

-Rose.

But everyone calls me Rosie.

-When's the last time you ate, Rosie?

Okay, um...this is what I have left.

I'm gonna go and get you some real food, okay?

-No. -It's okay.

You need to eat.

You need protein.

Okay, all you have to do is make sure the fire keeps going.

- I can't. - Sure you can.

All you have to do is put a log on,

make sure it doesn't die.

-Please don't leave.

-Okay.

I'll stay... for a little longer.

Willa!

Willa!

Willa!

Willa! Willa Gorilla!

-Mom...

you came.

You came.

-We don't have much time. Let's go.

They're waiting at the boats.

-But Mom--

- We need to go now. - There's no time.

But what about Dad?

We can't just leave Dad.

We need to get him.

We need soldiers, Willa.

Warriors like you.

He can't fight anymore.

But you can.

-Me? But Mom--

- What's wrong? - Aren't you ready?

-I'm--

Aren't you prepared?!

I--I'm sorry.

-We're not totally immune, you know?

No matter how badass we may be.

Point four miles due east!

Dad!

Oh, god.

Willa. Are you okay?

-I'm fine.

-You've been gone all day.

I--I scoured the island.

I blew the horn. Didn't you hear it?

-I was...I fell asleep in the Pine Grove

because of all the training.

I'm sorry.

-Sit down. I'll make you some food.

You might have noticed

it's not easy surviving out here.

The tinned food is gone.

The garden is spent.

We are living on fumes, Willa.

We have to be careful. We have to be smart.

-That gun...

it was that man's, wasn't it?

We left everyone behind that night we came here.

-Didn't have a choice. Not that night.

-Mom did.

-What?

-Had a choice.

But she chose to leave us.

-Mom had to leave to save the world,

and I had to save you.

-Are you all bad?

What?

-Men. Are you all...

bad because you can turn and we can't?

-No, Willa. Of course not.

Not all men are bad.

And girls can turn too, remember?

It's just less likely.

-Have you killed Breakers?

Of course, I've told you the stories.

When it comes to it,

if it comes to it, you will too.

Hybrids?

-Yes, but it's not so easy.

They were once us.

-Would you kill a person?

-If they threatened you or Mom in any way?

Yes, I would.

All right.

You need to eat some soup.

Point four miles due south.

Okay, slow down.

I don't have many of those.

It's better to savor it.

-Do you live here?

-Oh, no. I...

I just come here sometimes to get away.

It's like a girl cave.

-Are you alone? Like me?

-Yeah.

-Where do you live really?

-Um...Hey, do you want to see something?

-Sure.

-This is what the world used to look like

before the Stitch opened.

Everyone looked so happy.

-Yeah, they did.

My dad said these were called fish.

-Fish? -Yeah.

What are these?

I don't know.

They sort of look like Breakers.

My mom said there were flowers back then.

Thousands. Colors you've never seen.

Everything was alive.

The world was bright and beautiful.

-I miss my dad... and my brother.

-It's okay. I'm sure they're okay.

They're probably out there right now, looking for you.

What's his name?

-Bear.

-Bear? Isn't he a dog?

-He's a dog, but I call him Bear

because he fights with Kodiak.

-Kodiak is dead.

-What?

-Well, if he were alive

and he could do all the things they say,

we'd have won by now.

-He can't do it on his own.

He needs our help too.

Do you like stories?

This is the story about Kodiak

and the first battle with Breakers.

It was after the first Stitch opened,

and already Kodiak was a leader among men.

Kodiak and the men slayed every single Breaker

that came at them.

We thought we had won the battle.

This is when they realized

that Breakers weren't their only enemy.

We were also fighting with ourselves.

-So Kodiak killed the first Hybrid?

-Yeah, and he told us how to do it.

Gotta mush the brains.

-Nothing else stops them.

That's right.

Kodiak's not dead.

He's out there, fighting for us and with us.

And together, we're gonna close that Stitch

and the world won't be broken anymore.

You'll see. Okay. I'm gonna go.

I'll be back soon with some more food.

Will you be okay?

Um...this is for you, to keep you warm.

When can I leave?

-Soon.

Come on!

Thirty-three seconds.

Faster. Best one yet.

Come on, maggot. Hit it.

Stay on that log. Focus.

Keep going.

Come on! Yes.

That's my girl.

You can do this.

Come on, Willa.

It's under a minute.

This is your best, Willa.

Keep going.

It's your best time yet.

What are you thinking about?

Are they Breakers or Hybrids?

-Oh, just kill them!

-Good.

You just decapped four Breakers.

But now... now...

there's a Hybrid coming.

I tag you. They tag you.

They tag you, it's not mud.

Yah!

-Come on, Dad.

-Come on.

Come on, then. Ah!

Dad, are you okay?

-I'm not your daddy.

Agh!

-Do you yield, Hybrid?!

-Hybrids don't yield!

Hiding won't save you, little pig.

Come out, come out, wherever you--

-Dad?!

No.

Dad?

Dad?

Okay, okay.

Are you okay?

Okay. Okay.

Try and get back up.

-I'm okay now.

Give me my stick, will you?

-Okay.

-I'll start the fire.

I'll warm you up some soup, okay?

-No.

-Dad...

-I'm fine.

-You're not eating.

-Of course I'm eating.

-No.

You're not eating so I can eat.

-Willa, we have to keep rationing

until she comes.

-What if she doesn't?

-Don't say that.

What if they lose the war?

Then you would have kept me here for what?

-For nothing. -Not nothing.

-I'm just supposed to stay here?

Carrying around rocks?

Swinging a bat and wooden sword?

Training me for a war?

You won't even let me fight.

-I am not just training you to fight, Willa.

I'm training you to live.

How is this living?

This is like a prison.

We stay here and do nothing

whilst out there Mom does every--

-Five years!

Five years I fought.

And your mother is still out there fighting.

We lost everything, Willa.

Everything!

Don't ever say we did nothing.

I'm sorry.

She loves you very much.

-Then why isn't she here?

I promised your mom

I wouldn't give this to you until you were ready.

Well, today... you proved that.

This was mine...

and now it's yours.

Tomorrow, I will show you how to fight like she does.

I'm gonna go check the rabbit snares.

-Great. Rabbit stew for lunch then.

-I'm back.

Hope you like sardines.

Why would she--?

No.

Oh, Bear.

Rosie?

Rosie, why would you do this to Bear?

Rosie?

Are you okay?

Hey!

-Come on.

Let's go. Let's go. Come on.

Let's just stop here for the night.

Let me look at you.

-Did it...Are you hurt? -No.

-Are you cut? Are you scratched?

-What did I do? What did I do?

- Willa... - She was just a girl.

I didn't think...

-Listen to me. -I'm sorry.

-Listen to me!

None of that matters now.

It called out to them. It signaled them.

You remember what I told you, the Breakers and the Hybrids,

they are connected.

They know we are here now, so we leave.

-Where are we going?

-Boat Cove.

Hey. This is what you trained for, Willa.

The Breakers are coming,

and they will destroy everything here

until it looks like there.

-We're going back?

We're going...home?

-No, we go somewhere.

Just not here.

-Dad, I'm scared.

-You let what scares you

move you forward, remember?

Come on.

We're on the wrong side of the island.

We've got a long hike up and over to the other side.

You never told me they could swim.

They're predators, Willa.

When they sense prey, nothing's gonna stop them.

They'll have to come ashore on the beach

because it's less rocky.

The mines can slow them down a bit.

Give us time to get to the cove.

If we're still moving when we hear those explosions,

it means we don't have a lot of time.

Ten, 15 minutes at most.

-When we get to the boat, where are we gonna go?

-South.

Keep the mainland to the left,

and we keep going.

South is our safest bet.

-Okay.

-Ah, my leg.

Let's just rest here.

Just for a bit.

We're doing fine.

Once we're through the Pine Forest,

it's another five minutes downhill to the cove.

Where's your hat?

-I gave it to her.

I was just trying to help.

God, this is all my fault.

-No.

This world, what's happened...

none of it is your fault, you understand?

-Yeah.

-And what happened to that girl wasn't her fault either.

It just happened.

Here. Eat this. It'll keep you warm.

Five minutes and we go.

Do you want a story?

-No.

-No? Who are you?

What have you done with my daughter?

-Not like the others.

Not a Kodiak story.

I want one from before.

-Before?

-A story with her.

-Those hurt to tell.

-That's why you need to tell them.

-Already there were rumors about the awful things

happening up north...

Entire towns, ravaged.

people slaughtered

by an enemy we did not yet understand.

But we didn't care about any of it.

We were happy.

I'd never met anyone with so much light.

So much love.

We knew that no matter what should come...

we had each other

and we couldn't wait to bring you into this world.

And when you finally came,

this little lamb so full of trust and wonder,

you didn't cry.

You didn't scream.

You had no fear.

And the world,

just for that smallest of moments...

It was unbreakable.

Unbreakable.

You told me it was going to be hard.

Would've been nice if you'd told me how hard.

I know that you're out there

and I know that you're coming back.

Please. If you can, make it soon.

Not for me. For her.

Help me...save her.

They're here. We go.

- Faster. - How far?

-It's not far. Keep this way.

We'll be there soon.

Go. Go, go.

Through there.

-You did this? -What?

You think Kodiak's the only one who can chop down a tree

with a single blow?

The Breakers aren't big enough to get across this.

They'll have to go around, which should buy us a few minutes,

unless we can't get over it.

So come on, maggot.

You first. Walk the plank.

You've done this a million times.

Come on.

Eyes on the tree.

Stay steady. Focus on the front.

Focus. Good.

Okay, piece of cake.

Look, Dad!

No! Stay there!

-Aaahh!

Aaah!

- Mush the brains. - Remember?

-That was her brother.

-Any bites? Scratches? Any blood?

Good. Go. Go.

-Can you make it?

Can you get over?

-Hey, who trained who?

Just a little bit further.

Are you okay?

- Come on. Get up. - I can't.

- Get up. - I can't.

-Just try. -I can't.

-Just get off me a sec.

-It's their father. You really gotta get up now.

He's here.

- Try and get up. - Willa, I can't!

I can't.

You could do this.

You could do this.

This is what you trained for.

You can do this.

-Yah! Agh!

Okay.

I can help you.

Let's go.

We made it.

Oh, she's still there.

Okay.

I can help you down.

-Do you remember how to prime and start the motor

like I showed you?

-I guess.

- You guess? - You do or you don't?

-I--I--yes, I do.

- You cut the mooring rope. - There's just one swipe.

It should slide down on its own.

You won't even need to push it.

-But Dad, you're gonna...

No. No.

-Listen to me.

No.

-I will give you as much time as I can

so you can get to the boat and go.

I will hold them off.

-No, I can stay and I'm gonna fight with you.

I know you can fight.

You have already proved that to me.

Not today, not now.

Please. Let me stay.

-Let me do this for you, please.

You are a warrior, Willa.

So you fight, but don't forget to love.

You love it all, even the darkness.

-This world is so broken, Dad.

I can't do it.

The world isn't broken, Willa.

It has you in it.

-Mm.

Yes.

-Go. Please, Willa. Go. Go.

- Willa, go. - Okay.

One swipe of the sword!

-Okay.

Okay, Bear. We got this.

No.

No. No!

No. No.

No.

I'm sorry, Bear.

I tried.

They'll ask you one day

to tell them the story

of how the world was saved.

And you'll tell them

there was a girl named Willa

who was strong, full of hope and fear.

Willa was scared of what was to come,

but she was ready.

Because, like in all good stories,

Willa had a hero.

And when they want to know if Kodiak is just a story,

you'll tell them...

Kodiak is real.

The hero who gave Willa hope.

The hero who gives all of us hope.

-Go!

Aaah!

Come on!

-Come on.

-Aaggh!

-Come on then.

This will be the story

of how the world didn't break.
