Original subtitles

- [Narrator] Previously on Age of the Living Dead.

- I can't live as a vampire, not any more.

If you love me, you wouldn't wanna see me suffer.

- Launch.

- Ma'am.

(dramatic music)

- [Announcer] We have confirmation, go for launch.

(explosions booming) (alarm buzzing)

- I watched the watchers.

- Marcus.

Watch him. - Consider it done.

- You ever forget things are better?

- Oh no, your mother wasn't the woman you recently forgot.

- It's an EMP, electromagnetic pulse.

Destroys anything with an electrical signal,

including nuclear warheads.

- They'll be completely defenseless,

they'll be open to attack.

They'll be slaughtered-- - What would you have me do?

- They've developed a blood synthesis,

something they can replace our need for

supplying the blood-- - What are we looking at?

- [Gerry] I've got this information from--

- The man holding our daughter's my husband.

(hissing)

(loud thudding)

- Don't stop!

Get my six, anybody!

(creature roaring)

- Uh, ah, uh. (flesh squelching)

(creature grunting)

- Now what? - Hold here.

(people yelling in distance) (gunshots firing in distance)

(gun clicking)

(creature grunting)

(alarm blaring)

(metal clicking)

(Gerry gasping)

- Bite me. (gun clicking)

(Gerry gasping)

- Hello, darlin'.

(Gerry gasping)

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking that I look the same

as when you left me.

Possibly, even younger.

- This isn't happening. - But don't turn away.

Please.

- Just kill me now, please just kill me now, please.

- You're thinking this is a nightmare?

That somehow you'll wake up in the comfort of your bed

with me lying beside you.

I still remember you waking me up with a smile.

I can still smell the coffee.

Walking down the stairs to find you in

that awful dressing robe.

You'd always greet me the same way.

Do you remember?

- Yeah.

I hate you.

- A lot's changed since then.

Part of you is hoping that I died, that this is a trick.

But it's all very real.

And you know Gerry?

I thought you died, too.

You know?

You know?

(flesh squelching)

- What is this?

- This?

(loud thudding) (metal clicking)

This is a family reunion.

(eerie dramatic music)

(Gerry gasping)

You killed eight, you know?

- Good.

- They had families. - I had a family.

- Does it surprise you they had families?

- Nothin' surprises me any more.

- You and that British sarcasm.

And that accent's,

reasonably sure that accent's what got me pregnant,

don't you find that funny?

- I'm not laughin'.

- I don't imagine you've been doing a lot of laughing

these past couple of years.

Tell me,

how many have you killed?

- What?

- Of my kind, how many have you killed?

- You're the walking dead, I don't--

(Gerry grunting) (Marie screaming)

- Look what you do, Gerry!

I know that you burnt each one in your mind

how they look, how they fight.

You've etched each one into your memory.

Every one you've counted.

How many, Gerry?

- 27. - 27.

(Gerry gasping)

Now, that's impressive.

You know of every human,

as ruthless as you,

you might actually stand a chance.

(Gerry gasping)

- That's just your opinion.

- That's what wives do.

- I don't know what you are.

- Come on, Gerry.

- My wife died years ago.

I loved her and I lost her, you know?

- Right here?

- You're a monster.

- Now you're just calling names.

(distant screaming)

Just taking orders, no witnesses apparently.

- What happened to you?

What did they do?

- They fed on me.

They left me for dead.

It was days before I came too

and realized what had happened.

- Jesus.

- Hm.

You and I both know he probably doesn't exist to

what's around anymore.

- Marie, let me-- (Gerry grunting)

- Was it hard for you to leave me there to die?

- [Gerry] Marie, you were dead the minute you--

- Who left me there?

Do you wanna renew your vows?

Six, and...

Till death do us part.

- I remember promising my dying wife

that I would do anything to protect my son.

- Adam.

- If we're gonna die,

don't you wanna do it helping our friends?

- We are helpin' our friends.

We're helpin' every single human who's still alive

and a good deal that used to be.

- What are you talking about?

- You saw what the cure could do.

You saw that it could turn vampires back into a human state.

- So, that's the big plan.

We're gonna cure everyone

and just pretend that the last 10 years never happened?

Mm, maybe I should just have a nice coffee with

the guys that ripped my four-year-old brother apart.

Or maybe we can find the guy that killed your wife.

- Okay, that's enough. - How's this gonna work, Phil?

- I don't see what the alternative is.

We wait here, we die,

or we could just close our eyes

and wait for them to rush across the borders

and then destroy us.

- No, we fight, right now.

- I'm not afraid of a fight, Lucky.

- Well, it sure looks like you're hiding to me.

- Our commander, my friend gave me an order.

An order that had no ambiguity to it, whatsoever.

An order that was bigger than Gerry.

Bigger than me, bigger than you

and bigger than everybody else in the haven

'cause it could potentially save mankind.

Now I don't know what happened down there.

They could all be wiped out, we could be the only ones left

and, if we are,

if we are, we have to continue the mission

and not let anybody down.

We have to honor the fallen

and get the cure to where it belongs.

- So, we're supposed to be doin' the smart thing, right?

Which means that you already know

that if they're chasing us down this tunnel,

they're gonna catch us.

- Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

- The Brit's gave us that cure.

Meaning that there's more of it out there.

Trust me, they didn't give us their only batch.

It'll still get to where it needs to be going.

- Not unless there's no time left.

Yvonne already told us

that the vampires are comin' for the borders.

- Well, let's go meet them up, face-to-face.

- That is dyin', for no good reason.

This, this Lucky, this is a good reason.

- Well, I'm tired of running.

I wanna fight.

- Give it back.

- We drink this right now, we'll be invincible to a bite.

Then we don't have to worry about dying while we fight.

- Well, they can still tear us apart, Lucky.

Now, come on.

All right.

Be sensible.

Give it back.

- You're a coward.

Because you won't do what needs to be done.

And you know that we can't outrun them.

(alarm blaring) (gun clicking)

(Lucky grunting)

- Oh. (gasping)

(Lucky gasping)

- You were wrong about me.

I will do what needs to be done.

And I don't need to outrun them.

I don't need to outrun you.

This, doesn't belong to us.

I have to get it to the President.

- You're just gonna leave me?

- I'm real sorry, Lucky.

But you wanted to dig in and have a last stand.

Now it's your chance. - No.

Phil, don't do this.

(dramatic music)

(electronic beeping)

- You intend to wait?

- Only for Andrew to confirm if they have this cure.

- Madame President, with every minute,

with every second that we delay,

we lose the tactical advantage.

- Ma'am, you and I both know

if I agree with the General, well,

we have something to worry about.

But I agree with the General.

We have the advantage.

- And if the British have a cure?

- Let's say they do.

Let's say they developed a cure.

They didn't generate it in the last 24 hours,

they've had it.

They've tested it.

They've had it for some time.

- Which means that we can only assume

that our old allies are no longer on our side.

In actual fact, we can safely assume

that we are totally alone.

- Professor? - Yes?

- Could the British have developed a cure?

- It's possible. - You've been developing

a cure? - No, no.

Let's, let's be honest here.

We've been lookin' at developing a way to kill them.

We've never treated it like a disease.

- And if we go through with this,

we lose all chances of getting the cure,

of having it in our possession.

- I'll be honest.

That's a risk I'm willing to take.

- A risk to end all suffering?

- We will never end suffering, Madame President.

- I'll give him two hours,

that's still within the launch window.

- But, just when we are starting to--

- General, my word is final.

If I am to march us into the end of days,

then I'll do it at my own damn pace.

(eerie music)

(crickets chirping)

(Gerry gasping)

- You've overplayed your hand, husband.

Where's my son?

- I don't know, I made a promise.

- You made a promise to me,

and here I am.

- I made a promise to my dead wife.

- I'm not dead, Gerry.

- You felt your pulse recently?

- Good one.

My heart may not beat,

I may not breathe,

but those are just physical aspects.

What are the things you had to endure,

the terrors you faced, the things you did to stay alive?

And I wonder,

if maybe, I'm more alive than you.

(Gerry gasping)

(creatures grunting in distance)

I still love you.

I can give you a life, with no pain, no illness,

no fear, no limits, no death.

Eternal life for you and for Adam.

- It's not a life.

- You're not gonna give him up, are you?

- No.

- There she is.

You know the thing about eternal life is,

a teenager will always be a teenager.

You've been keeping some interesting company.

- Hello, Marta.

- I've asked you repeatedly, to call me mom.

- You're not my mother.

- No, not actually, but,

I like the title

and the power it gives me over you.

Wouldn't you agree, husband?

- Wait?

This is, Adam's-- - Mom.

- Yes. - Oh my god.

- I see no introductions are necessary.

- Are you taking me to my father?

- I'm afraid not, my dear.

Marcus would like an audience with you.

(dramatic music)

(electronic beeping)

(car horns honking)

- Hello to you all.

Some of you know me and some of you don't.

Well, I know all of you, very well.

Those who know me are aware of what I do.

I investigate and surveil people of interest.

And I have at one time, or another,

investigated and surveilled, all of you.

The fact that you still sit at this table

is testament to the fact

that you are trustworthy.

However, there is one member of the Elders

for whom this cannot be said.

48 hours ago, Victor hired me to watch Marcus.

And I watched him very carefully.

Over the course of a brief two-day period,

Marcus met with Clandestine forces,

opposed not only to the power of this Council,

but our way of life.

He possesses information that would benefit you all.

In fact, he has been hiding

the fact that the leak of information

is one of the core family

and the fact that she

is still missing, he has been very careful

to present himself to all of you,

in a certain light.

And you may think him, a lovable rogue.

But he is far more dangerous.

He has an ego and above all,

an agenda that is at odds with this council.

It is my opinion

that if Marcus goes unchecked

he will attempt to overthrow this Council

and claim power for himself.

He must be eliminated, immediately.

To delay,

is to endanger yourselves, your families,

our very existence.

He must die.

(dramatic music)

(crickets chirping)

- Adam! (gasping)

No!

- Get away from him! - You stay away from him!

- For a purebred, you're far too slow.

You have a pulse.

How is that possible?

- They found a cure.

- It's true, Marie, it's true.

We have a cure, I can cure you, I can cure Yvonne.

I promise, I can save you.

- I need no saving.

Put him down.

- No, get away from him!

Get away from him.

- It's been so long. - Leave him alone!

- No, Marie, Marie, no, please, please Marie,

I beg you, take me, please Marie,

if there's any other way, please!

- Watch me.

Watch me as I save our son.

- Marie, please!

- Watch! - Please, Marie!

- No, don't do it! - Marie, please!

- Watch! - No!

No.

(Adam exhaling)

What did you do?

What have you done?

(Marie grunting)

- What any mother would do.

I protected my son. - You have cursed him!

- He would have died at your feet.

Is that what you have wanted?

- My boy.

You took my-- - No.

Because like me, you would have done anything to save him

and I can save you, Gerry,

I can save you.

- Go to hell. - I hate you too.

(loud thudding) (metal rattling)

(gasping) I'm gonna turn you anyway.

We have 10 years to catch up on.

Cat got your tongue?

Conversations with my husband must have been awkward.

- Turned him into a monster.

- You love him?

Wonder what your father would say

to find out, that you've fallen in love with a human?

Quite poetic, actually.

Vampire girl, falling in love with a human boy

only to have roles reversed.

- Do your worst.

- My worst, would be pale in comparison

to the immeasurable pain that Marcus would bestow upon you.

Why did you do it?

- Because I couldn't stand being a vampire.

- Looks like you got your wish.

You love him and now you're powerless to protect him

because you denied who you were.

(Yvonne sobbing)

(birds chirping)

- So.

This is your cure?

Why do you think we need cure, hm?

And of what?

There's nothing wrong with us.

We're far better than you humans.

(liquid splashing) Whoops.

- You are animals!

(laughing)

- Ah, on the contrary,

you humans are the animals.

Livestock to be hunted.

You know our species is the dominant species of this planet.

We don't need a cure, we, we, are the cure.

For humanity.

(laughing)

- Some cure.

A cure that can't even stand a healthy dose of sunlight.

Look at you, dripping in sunscreen.

- Yeah, well, plans are already underway to change

that aspect of ourselves.

So, why don't you tell me, where are they?

The others?

- What others? (bones crunching)

- Do you feel your ribs cracking?

- Ah. - Where are they?

- Friarstown. - No.

No, you are lying.

That's not where they are.

Perhaps,

they are at The Haven?

Yes.

You knew that was it.

- Never heard of it.

(laughing)

- Of course you haven't.

You know, you smell much different than the humans here.

Maybe it's because they are rotting away behind this wall

you built to keep us in.

But soon that wall will crumple

and the world will be ours.

You know, we don't have a lot of knowledge

about this wide world,

but a human like you, have a lot of knowledge.

The knowledge of your countries, military,

very useful for us.

- I'm not telling you a damn thing.

(laughing)

- Well, no, I didn't expect you to, not as a human.

But, when I make you one of us,

you will willingly give me all your secrets.

And maybe, thank me for making you

a member of the master race.

(vampire laughing) - No.

(flesh squelching) (man screaming)

(creatures roaring)

- No.

- Mom?

- Yes.

Here I am, son.

- Ah.

What happened to me?

- I think you know it happened?

- No.

- I was, bit?

You were there.

- Take your time, you need to adjust.

- [Boy] It's me.

- What is this I'm feeling?

- [Man] She's gonna kill me if she wants to.

- [Man] It isn't all it should be.

That's the thing.

- That's your body changing.

Right now you can probably hear more

than you've ever heard before.

- If you see him (music drowns out speech).

- I can.

- [Marie] Focus on my voice.

- [Adam] Where have you been?

- [Marie] Been away son, but now I'm here with you.

- I missed you. - I missed you too.

You been a good boy?

Yes.

Your father's done well at raising you.

He's done a good job.

- I love you mom. - Daddy?

- I love you mom.

- I love you too.

My special boy.

Feels like just yesterday when I last saw you.

(creature grunting) (voices whispering)

- I'm hungry.

- I know.

It'll pass.

- What's next?

- [Marie] We have work to do.

- Work?

- Marie, look what you've-- - Shut up, Dad!

- Most people think that once we are turned

we become evil.

That's not the case.

You see.

We see the world in such startling clarity

that everything else just falls away.

- Am I supposed to be impressed by that?

- Yes.

Before Yvonne slaughtered one of our own in this

place, the last reported incident of a pureblood

killing another vampire was,

why don't you tell them Yvonne?

- The last recorded incident was 600-years-ago.

- 600-years-ago, Gerry.

Our kind is about order and loyalty,

something that is not learned,

but genetically becomes a part of our DNA.

Loyalty to our own kind.

- You're an idiot.

- Excuse me? - Recorded incidents?

How'd you think Marcus

and my father have amassed so much power?

Through loyalty?

They would happily burn The Elders alive

if it served their own end.

- Delusions of a teenage girl.

- Oh, I don't know, she's startin' to grow on me.

- Good, because you're about to witness first hand

how loyalty, is as much a part of our lives

as murder and betrayal is a part of yours.

Tell me, Adam,

what have they been hiding?

- No, Adam.

- They have a cure.

- Yes, I know, your girlfriend is proof of that.

The cure, there's something else to it?

- It's not administered easy,

you have to get close to us,

then you can administer the cure.

- Somewhat of a stumbling block?

- Yes. - What else?

- Adam, please.

Don't, Adam! - What else?

- There's another team coming,

a backup team.

They have more of the cure.

- Very good Adam, very good.

- Adam, how could you? - Don't be mad at him, Gerry.

Like I said, loyalty to our own kind.

It runs in our blood.

That's why you're such a freak of nature.

(Yvonne gasps)

Adam, would you like to accompany me on a video call?

- Yes, mother.

- Adam, don't do this, you're still in there.

(loud whacking) (Yvonne grunting)

- [Adam] Mother?

Can we keep them alive?

- That's so human of you-- - As bait.

- That's my boy (laughing), watch them.

(dramatic music)

(car horns honking)

- All of the drones?

- All of them.

- But the drones were providing us with protection.

- We were foolish to rely on the drones of Europe

to protect us, this has simply forced the issue

that we must act.

- You would have us go to war blindly?

- No, I would have us enter into war with our eyes open.

No longer hidden behind

the vale of Europe like a scared child.

- I believe you have overplayed your hand, Marcus.

Your desire to be a member of this Council

is proving your undoing.

- I do not wish to become a member of this Council.

I wish to rule it.

- [Michaels] What are you playing, Marcus?

- My winning hand.

- Why are we presented with these newly-turned?

- I'm with my son, this is Adam.

He's with the humans in New Mexico.

- With the humans?

Adam? - Yes.

- You may not know these people

but they are the rulers of our kind,

the Elders, there are vampires

that have existed for centuries

that have never even seen the Elders.

You are very privileged.

- I see. - The Elders are wondering

why you are in New Mexico?

Perhaps you can explain?

- I'm with my father in The Haven.

- What is The Haven?

- The Haven is a forward community, an army,

a first defense team against our kind.

- Is that all? - They have a cure.

(Marcus laughing)

- As do we.

We no longer need feed on them as livestock.

We do not need the humans to exist.

This world will truly be ours.

An army hidden in no-mans land.

A preparation for assault.

It is my belief

that the humans are preparing a nuclear assault

on the East Coast. - The strike isn't nuclear.

- Excuse me? - It is not nuclear.

It is the cure.

- Well, it is my understanding that--

- The cure is the weapon.

- Is this true? - Yes.

- How would they use it against us?

- Well, that's the thing.

There's no possible way they can.

You have to be in close-quarters to use the cure.

Inject it straight into the heart.

- Then, it is as good as useless.

- Yes, exactly.

- The human's actually no threat.

- You have done well.

- Where did they create this cure?

- Vancouver. - I see.

(creature roaring)

- I'm sorry, dinner has arrived.

(electronic beeping)

- Re-establish a connection.

Quickly.

(dramatic music)

- Ma'am?

It's time.

- Andrew?

- If you think I take pleasure in this moment,

you are very much mistaken.

- I know you don't, General.

- But war is an evil task

that sometimes is absolute. - I know.

- We need the word, Madame President.

- Fire away, General.

And may god forgive us.

(plastic rattling)

- [Announcer] 30 seconds--

(background music drowns out speech)

(explosions roaring) (alarms buzzing)

(dramatic music)

(alarms wailing)

- What is it, Victor? - It's the humans.

- What? - They've launched

nuclear missiles. - What?

- The boy lied. - Evacuate the Elders!

Now!

- How? - We detected a massive

build-up, it's enough to wipe out all the bases

on the East Coast. - Connect with the troops

on the borders, tell them to launch the invasion.

- Very well. - We will evacuate

to the fallout shelter.

We'll survive the blast in there.

Now, Victor! - You knew, didn't you?

You knew what they would do.

- Yes.

- Why?

Millions of our people are gonna die.

- But millions will live

and we will destroy the humans.

- This is an act of war.

- The Elders would have never break the status quo.

They needed a push.

- Marcus.

This is treason.

- It is the birth of a new era.

- Of war? - Of our destiny, Victor.

- The Elders would have never accepted anything of this.

- The Elders have grown comfortable.

Happy to live underground,

happy to live in a world in which you have

treaties with a humans.

We are the greatest species.

There is no denying it.

- Where's my daughter?

- She had made her choice.

You can either walk with me into a new age

or you can stay and burn with The Elders.

Contact the troops!

We march tonight.

(dramatic music)

- Adam? - Yes, mother?

- Why did you say it was from Canada

when the soldier we killed was British?

- Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

- Mm.

(keyboard clicking)

- [Adam] Mother, could you hand me that handgun?

- Yes, yes I can--

(dramatic music) (Marie groaning)

(flesh squelching)

(Marie gasping)

(bones cracking) (Adam grunting)

(metal clanging)

(Marie gasping)

(soft thudding) (dramatic music)

(heart beating)

(background chattering)

(footsteps thudding)

- Prime Minister?

- Very well.

Launch the EMP.

- We have the order.

(keyboard clicking)

(electronic screeching) (radio chatter)

- Adam, it's not too late--

- Shut up!

(dramatic music) (bones cracking)

(Marie gasping)

(bones cracking)

(Adam grunting)

- What did you just do? - You'll see.

- Gerry, it's still him.

- Adam?

Adam? - I'm your son.

Dad, I'm your son.

- Oh, thank god.

I thought I'd lost you.

- It's your son.

He's our son.

(Marie grunting) - Oh, hey.

Oh god, Marie.

- I hate you. - I hate you, too.

It's you.

Oh, god.

Marie.

Can't believe this, it's you.

- Oh my god, she's-- - I feel like a fog's

been lifted. - It's her, Dad.

I brought her back.

I brought Mom back.

- How? - I bit her.

When I was attacked, I injected the Sephora.

It's in my blood. - Your blood merged

with Sephora? - When Mom turned me I,

I felt different, but the same.

- But that means-- - Your DNA merged

with Sephora. - I'm something different.

Something stronger.

Let's go. - Where?

- Outside. - Adam, the sun

will be rising. - I know.

I don't want us to miss it.

(electronic screeching) (radio chatter)

(air whooshing)

(alarms blaring) (machines whirring)

(rocket roaring)

(alarms blaring)

- Madame President, are you okay?

- I'm fine.

Is everyone okay? - Yes.

- We lost all communication.

- The missiles, what about the missiles?

- I don't know.

No, it can't be.

- What? - Oh my god.

- Ma'am, it's across the whole city, everything's out.

- The missiles? - The missiles will not

have reached their targets. - What?

- EMP, electromagnetic pulse

from high altitude or low orbit.

- Before the breakup we were working on this technology,

but certain events, they just--

- It never got beyond the prototype stages.

- The rest of the world have had 10 years

and worked on the prototype.

- Would it short circuit the missiles?

- Yes.

- But surely our missiles had in-built technology?

- Our missiles are 10 years behind

what the rest of the world's got.

- How widespread could the damage be?

- Total.

- But that would mean...

- That we are totally defenseless.

(alarms blaring)

(church bells ringing)

(footsteps thudding)

- Well done, Prime Minister.

The EMP disabled every missile.

And there's already a long line of world leaders

phoning to congratulate you, sir.

- Congratulations are not in order.

(somber music)

We may well have,

saved our bacon,

but we sold-out a friend to do it.

And more than that.

We didn't just scupper

the desperate Hail Mary final attack plan.

(somber music)

The EMP,

would have wiped out everything on the West Coast.

And been big enough for

the vampires to see what they were planning.

Congratulations,

are not in order.

We let them down 10-years-ago.

Made life very hard for them to survive.

And now,

we've left them completely defenseless

and painted a target on their chests.

Vampires,

aren't known for their mercy.

And when they've decimated our allies,

destroyed their blood supply,

where do you think they're gonna look?

The next fresh

blood supply.

Congratulations are not in order.

I didn't save the planet today.

I may well have just handed it to the vampires

on a silver plate.

(somber music)
