Original subtitles

After the outbreak, cash became worthless, and status

meant nothing.

My

name's

Alex. Back then, I was nobody.

Just the estate handyman fixing pipes and wiring.

And me?

They barked orders at me like I was some dog they kept on the property.

Pick up the pace.

Miss Taylor rented this place for a party.

Not so you could slack off in some corner.

What the hell are you looking at? Pick it up!

Guys like you exist to serve people like us.

That's all you're good for.

That's more like it.

Best thing a man can learn is his place.

You worthless idiot.

Do you have any idea what those shoes cost?

You couldn't afford those in ten lifetimes.

It's just ice water.

Wipe it off and it won't stain.

You got a mouth on you now?

Enough.

Clean it, then we're done here.

Miss Taylor told you to clean it. You deaf or something?

Fine.

Get back to work, repairman.

Get the hell out of here.

Hope you never need this repairman to save your life.

What the hell did you just say?

Alex, you've got a footprint on your shoulder.

Thanks.

You could have hit him back. Why didn't you?

And then what?

Then I lose my job, and my mom's hospital bills don't get paid next

month.

You should stay away from Lucy and her crowd.

Why? Because when things go bad, people like that will throw you under the bus

first.

The moment I was pushed down, I understood.

What sends people to hell is never the monster.

Don't just stand there! Move! Follow me!

Get that extra weight cabinet over here!

Back there.

Why did you shove me?

I didn't.

Someone shoved into me from behind. I just lost my footing.

I saw your hand.

Victoria, we grew up together. Why would I ever try to hurt you?

Everyone, calm down. My father's security team is based in San Francisco.

If anything goes wrong on the estate, the security system automatically sends

out an alert.

They'll be here by dawn, latest.

Exactly. The Taylor family security team isn't just a bunch of bodyguards.

They'll come for us.

Just follow Miss Taylor's lead. We only have to hold out for a few hours, then

we're safe.

This virus spreads fast.

If San Francisco's already infected, your security team might not even make

it out of the city.

You need to count supplies now. Prepare to be stuck here for the long hang.

What, you hoping the security team doesn't show up so you can scare

everyone into listening to you?

I'm telling you, the worst case scenario may already be happening.

My family never abandons me.

Zombies won't go easy on you just because your last name is Taylor.

You.

You just know.

It had to be a fluke.

It went around him.

Twice. It's not blind.

The second that glass shattered, it locked on Maddie.

But it acted like Alex wasn't even there.

I have no idea.

Where are you going?

Checking the food and water.

Miss Taylor already said security will be here by morning.

Then stand here and wait if you want.

Guys, you need to see this.

They're dead. Leaving all this here would just be a waste. I couldn't even

get my hands on one before.

When security gets here, stuff like this will still be worth something.

Victoria, you're not taking anything?

My family doesn't need any of this.

So this is where you ran off to.

Digging through garbage just like the loser you are.

Everyone else is grabbing gold and you're hoarding expired cans.

Go three days without water, then try making soup with that gold watch.

Security will be here at dawn!

Then you'd better hope the zombies outside got the memo.

Put it down.

Move.

You got a death wish?

Before all this, I didn't fight back because I needed the job.

Now, don't touch me again.

Alex, you really put your hands on your boss?

You just found these.

Take them.

But once we get out, we can sell them for a lot of money.

Before all this, those rings could have bought you a car. In here, they can't

even buy this bottle of water.

I thought I heard someone say the security team wasn't coming.

From San Francisco to the manor, they'd have to get through several dense urban

areas. Once the infection spreads, even the best security team can't cut through

tens of thousands of zombies without taking losses.

Captain Lucas made it into Navy Special Warfare Selection. Lucas?

That washout who couldn't even pass the psych eval? What the hell are you

smirking at?

Nothing. Are you mocking Miss Taylor?

Enough. Put the food down.

Everything in this manor belongs to the Taylor family. I'm saying the old rules

are already breaking down. As long as the government and my family are still

standing, the rules still stand.

Then keep waiting.

I'm going to the garage to set up my own safe zone.

The security team might come, or they might never show up.

You can stay here, or you can come with me.

I'm sorry, Miss Taylor. I just want to survive.

I'm coming with you. You two idiots!

You'll die out there sooner or later!

When that day comes, I hope you don't come begging me for help.

These rich bastards never had to worry about running out of anything. Once the

power goes out, everything in the fridge buys us a few days at best. The stuff

that lasts?

Rice, flour, cans.

That's survival.

This garage has its own boiler and a staff break room.

If I can get the generator back online, this place is safer than the villa. You

really know how to fix a generator?

I'm the maintenance guy.

Carter always said maintenance guys were useless.

Then he better not come crawling to me when something breaks.

They really don't attack you.

You were bitten?

Three days ago.

I was fixing the underground pipes when I ran into a staffer who'd gone feral.

If I was going to turn, I'd be one of them by now.

So you're immune?

I don't know.

Not yet.

Or maybe I've already turned into something they don't recognize.

You can still go back to the villa. If you were a monster, you wouldn't have

saved me.

I'm staying with you.

Then you do what I say.

Don't wander off. Don't make noise and stay close.

Okay.

We're going down the mountain. Where are we going?

While everyone else is still fighting over jewelry, we're going after what

actually matters.

Stay close.

The dead won't go after me, but they'll sure as hell go after you.

But you still need to learn how to protect yourself.

It's all gone.

They cleaned this place out.

Most people just grab whatever's on the shelves.

Anything in the stockroom probably never made it out.

Water. There's so much water.

Easy. Slow down.

This could keep us alive for weeks.

You okay?

I'm okay.

Then maybe let go of me first?

You're crushing me.

Sit down. Let me check it.

Does that hurt?

No.

It's okay.

The glass is holding. For a second back there, I thought I was dead.

Not while I'm here.

What if tomorrow we're one of them?

Then we make tonight count.

Alex, I don't want to think of you as my big brother anymore.

If you think you're going to regret this, now's the time to stop.

I won't.

Don't stop.

Out there is the hell every living person fears most.

And in the apocalypse, nobody knows if they'll even get it tomorrow.

When we get back to the manor, don't tell anyone yet.

What, you don't want to take responsibility?

I'm just worried Victoria will eat you alive.

Why is she the first person that comes to your mind

Someone

find us some food and water Carter you go

This

is all that's left in the kitchen that and some flour then cook it

Does anyone here know how to cook?

We've always had chefs at home.

I only know how to work a coffee machine.

Carter, you do it.

Miss Taylor, my family has chefs too.

So none of you can start a fire, and none of you can cook?

supplies! That all belongs to Miss Taylor! Bring it back right now!

You lowlife thief!

Miss

Taylor?

I'll go get it all back right now. You're going to rob him?

It belonged to Miss Taylor in the first place.

Alex risked his life hauling those supplies up from the mountain. He works

for this manor.

Anything an employee gets while on the job belongs to the employer.

The world's gone to hell and you're still talking about employment

contracts?

The security detail is probably already on the road. By sunrise, they'll be

here. They might even bring hot coffee and fresh blankets.

The tailors don't break their promises.

We just have to make it through one more night.

You said the security detail would be here before dark. It's almost midnight.

They could have hit trouble on the road. What kind of trouble?

Infected, roadblocks, anything.

Did you actually get through to them?

There was some interference on the sat phone, but the automatic distress signal

went out.

You're sure about that?

I know the Taylor emergency protocols better than any of you.

The garage has its own boiler.

There's still a diesel generator in the staff warehouse.

Get the power back on, reinforce the roll-up doors, and this place could work

as a temporary base.

I'm not going anywhere.

The security detail?

Everybody up! Rescue is here! Are you insane?

That could be zombies out there. Or it could be the security detail. If there

are living people out there, why aren't they saying anything?

Do not open this door.

What if the security detail is surrounded? We need to let them in. If

they're real professionals, they wouldn't ask us to open a door without

knowing what's on the other side.

We can check from upstairs first.

Fine. One look.

Trouble just showed up.

They're about to get in.

Do something!

Barricade the door with the couch, the tables, anything!

It won't hold.

There are more of them every minute.

The lights and noise last night probably drew them here.

The security team.

Has to be close.

If we hold out, they'll come. If they're so close, why haven't we heard a single

gunshot?

I don't know.

Everyone upstairs!

Move!

Are you going to save them?

Once that horde breaks through the villa gate, they'll follow the noise straight

to us.

So you're doing this to protect our base?

What else would I be doing it for?

I thought maybe you couldn't just watch Victoria die. Why would Victoria be the

only one I couldn't watch die?

Because she's gorgeous.

And she's the former president's daughter.

You're not exactly hard on the eyes yourself.

Was that supposed to be a compliment?

Close enough.

How are you going to lure the horde away?

Zombies are drawn to sound.

There are too many zombies out there.

They won't touch me.

But we still don't know if that thing could suddenly stop working.

Lock the door.

No matter who shows up don't open it.

Then come back soon.

How is that even possible?

There must be something in Alex's body that masks his living scent.

If it weren't for him, we'd be dead already.

Maddy, the horde's away from the villa. Get ready to pick me up. Are you hurt?

No. Then hurry back.

Your steak's getting cold.

He could have saved us this whole time, but he waited until the last second on

purpose!

Do you hear yourself right now?

Zombies don't attack him.

He can gather supplies with zero risk.

But he's been hoarding all the good stuff for himself!

That's his ability.

Not yours.

He works for this estate.

Everything he collected should be turned over to Miss Taylor and distributed

properly.

Miss Taylor, that little influencer is the only one in the warehouse.

Alex is gone. We can take back the supplies that belong to you.

He just saved your life.

Saving us is his job.

Then why didn't you do your job as supervisor and go lure the horde away

yourself?

Victoria, we haven't eaten in a whole day.

Just some water and a few cans. Alex has so much, there's no way he can finish it

all.

I didn't tell anyone to rob him.

But the estate supplies should be managed centrally.

Understood. If he dies out there, you take his things.

What if he comes back alive?

I'm almost there.

Is the door locked?

It's locked.

No matter who it is, don't open it.

Got it.

Maddie, open the door.

Mrs. Taylor said to hand over the food and water.

Alex told me not to open the door for anyone.

He's a damn maintenance guy. You're going to listen to him over Ms. Taylor?

We brought those supplies back from the mountain ourselves.

We use the estate's trucks.

And you're hiding out in the estate's warehouse.

So that makes those supplies estate property.

Open the damn door. I'll lock this lock open. Let the zombies outside come keep

you company.

Alex, Carter's outside.

He's trying to break in. Stay calm.

Grab a few bottles of water and some cans.

Slide them under the door. But they're ours.

We can spare it. Just don't open the door.

Step back.

I'll slide them under the door.

Don't try anything stupid See should have done what you were told from the

start

He's been bitten. He's been bitten.

Gwen's a doctor. If we move fast, he still has a chance.

Catch the supplies first!

McTaylor! If we open that door, the rest of them will get in. So what? We just

scared-

save me i i got bit getting water for everyone getting it or stealing

it now is not the damn time

The infection is moving up his leg. You can save me, right?

There's only one option.

What?

We cut it off.

No! I'm not losing my leg!

If we don't, you're going to lose your life.

Miss Taylor.

No anesthetic.

Your choice.

You just want an excuse to chop off my leg, don't you?

I can walk away.

Save me!

Do it now!

Get rope.

Hold him down.

Selene, keep pressure on the artery.

Riley, bring me the red hot tongues.

Scared?

Then don't look.

I'm not scared of you.

I've just never seen anything like that before.

We got to it in time.

The infection hasn't spread any farther.

For now.

Will he make it?

We still have to keep an eye on him.

Infection, blood loss, shock.

Any one of them could kill him.

Thank you for saving him. He stole my supplies and threatened Maddie.

Saving him doesn't mean I forgive him. Then why save him at all?

Because I don't want him to die that easily.

Slow down. You've been dehydrated all day. Don't drink too much too fast. What

are you talking about? Your body can't handle it. If you're badly dehydrated,

drinking too much too fast can mess with your electrolytes. Oh, please.

You're just afraid there won't be enough left for you, so you're trying to scare

us. Lucy, stop!

See? I'm fine.

Nothing happened.

The water's poisoned.

Alex poisoned it.

Poisoned? Get it away from us now!

It's not poison.

She drank too fast and made herself sick.

How do you know that?

Are you working with Alex?

If it's not poison, somebody take a sip and prove it.

Tastes fine.

You're greedy and stupid.

You drank until you puked, then blamed the water for being poisoned.

With a brain like yours, even if help comes, you probably won't live long

enough to see it.

Wait.

You've got enough food hoarded away. There's no way you can eat it all by

yourself. There are two of us now.

Fine. Even with Maddie, the two of you can't eat all of it.

Get us safely to the rescue point, and I'll give you $100 million.

$100 million?

Cash, stocks, property, whatever you want.

Once we get out of here, I guarantee you'll get every penny.

Miss Taylor, right now dollar bills are too stiff to wipe my ass with.

If you want food, trade me medicine, weapons, fuel, or labor. You want me to

work? What, the former president's daughter doesn't have hands and feet?

My father's security team will be here any minute Then keep waiting

My base has room for people who make themselves useful,

but I don't carry dead weight And I sure as hell don't feed spoiled princesses

living on promises about tomorrow Why the hell does

the security team keep delaying

Did you even get through to them?

The satellite phone is being jammed by the weather and magnetic interference.

That's not an answer.

First, you said they'd be here before dark.

Then you said before sunrise.

Now it's day two, mid-morning.

Something must have happened on the road.

Show us the satellite phone.

Let's see if you ever actually reach them.

Watch your mouth.

She's the former president's daughter.

The dead outside doesn't give a damn who her father is.

How long has it been dead?

How long?

Since the first night.

You mean you haven't contacted anyone this whole time?

The emergency auto-send might have already sent out the distress signal.

Might have?

Even if the phone is dead.

Once my father realizes the estate has gone dark, he'll send people after me.

You don't even know if he's still alive.

Shut up!

We almost got overrun by a horde.

Carter lost a damn leg.

And you still expect us to sit here waiting for a rescue that might never

come?

What do you want from me?

I wanna stay alive.

Where are you going?

To find someone who can actually keep me alive.

What do you want?

You said this place takes people who can pull their weight.

So what do you bring into the table?

I run a farm.

I can grow crops, handle livestock, fix tractors, and work on diesel engines.

You've got food and water, but canned goods won't keep people alive forever.

If you're building something long-term, you need crops, steady power, and

someone who actually knows machinery.

I know machines too.

One man can't do everything.

And I'm not looking for a free ride.

Come in.

Wait!

It's a cold night.

No man should have to spend it alone.

I could keep you company, make the night pass a little faster.

Long nights burn a lot of firewood. You know how to split logs?

That's all you care about?

Firewood? What else should I care about?

Guess your skill set doesn't count for much out here.

I can learn.

I can do whatever you need.

Maybe we should let her in.

Did you forget she shoved Victoria toward the dead back in the ballroom?

But if we leave her out there, she'll die.

That soft heart of yours is gonna get you killed someday.

You can come in.

But in here, I don't care about your status or your pretty face.

No work, no food.

No problem.

I'll do whatever you need.

You're up.

I made you breakfast.

You made this?

Of course.

I got up before dawn to make it.

You're not going to eat it?

How did the breakfast you made end up in her hands?

I put it on the table after I made it. I just wanted to wash the pan.

I was just bringing it to you for her. I didn't want it to get cold.

Next time, whoever makes it brings it herself.

Don't let anyone take credit for your work.

Why do you always assume the worst about me?

I just want to help out around here.

Good.

Take inventory of everything in the warehouse.

Sort it into food, medicine, fuel, and tools. I want the list by tonight.

All that stuff?

You want me to count it all by myself?

You said you wanted to contribute.

Why am I the only one you're ordering around?

I didn't come here to be your personal pack mole.

Who was kneeling outside my door last night?

Saying she'd do anything.

But look at me.

I'm pretty.

That fuel line's more rusted than the old tractor back on my farm.

The filter's completely clogged and rats chewed through the wiring.

We've got to replace all of it today.

See that?

That's a skill.

Being pretty isn't a skill.

You this thoughtful with every woman on the team?

I just don't like watching you rub engine oil into your eye.

And here I thought that was a special perk of joining the base.

The only perk around here is more work.

Then if I get this generator running today, can I ask for a private reward?

What do you want?

I'll tell you when I decide.

Your coffee's getting cold.

You still haven't had breakfast.

Someone's got a pretty strong sense of territory.

Where's Riley?

Where's Lucy?

They're both gone!

really going to die here?

Even Lucy ran off.

Then let them go.

When rescue comes, I won't take a single traitor with me.

He's starting to run a fever.

Didn't we already amputate the leg?

Amputation only stops the virus from spreading.

The wound can still get infected, and blood loss can still kill him.

Miss Taylor?

I lost a leg trying to get your supplies back.

Once we get out of here, I'll make sure you're well compensated.

Thank you, Miss Taylor.

What he needs right now isn't some future payout.

It's antibiotics.

Done.

We've got power!

Voltage holding steady.

Good work.

That's it? Just good work?

I'll throw you an extra piece of beef tonight.

Beef isn't exactly what I'm after.

I'll cook.

Smells better than I expected.

I can still cook a little, you know. Give me a bigger bowl. I sorted through

a ton of stuff today. You only sorted half of it. I'll finish the rest

tomorrow.

Rations are based on what you put in.

Why the hell do I get so little?

Riley fixed the generator.

Maddie cooked.

You only finished half the inventory.

You're doing this on purpose.

You're singling me out.

Then finish the rest of the inventory and come back for the other half.

That's meat?

And hot soup?

I can't take this anymore. I really can't.

You pulled the horde away today.

Eat more.

We still need to reinforce the electric fence tomorrow.

Our leader needs his strength.

Alex, I can... Eat your own food.

Miss Taylor, I want to go beg Alex to take me in. You are not going anywhere!

The security team is coming.

How many times have you said that already?

If you betray me now, when that helicopter lands, none of you gets a

seat.

You've been feeding us empty promises this whole time.

Security team, helicopter, safe zone.

Not one damn thing you promised has shown up.

Get this straight.

We kept you safe and followed your orders because you promised you could

get us out.

Now you need us. We don't need you.

i've been tracking alex for the last two days in daylight zombies move slower and

can't see as well but maddie still got attacked that's why we're not going far

this

place is only 500 meters from the villa alex hasn't cleared it out yet

there are zombies outside if we stay here with no food or water we're dead

anyway

Tomorrow morning, we hit the staff warehouse and haul back supplies.

That's too risky.

Then do you have a better plan?

Alex is different.

His body's different. Just because he can go out there doesn't mean we can.

Then stay here.

But don't expect a single thing we bring back.

I'll go.

Dr. Gwen, will my leg grow back?

Sure. Just pray the security team comes back with some cutting-edge regenerative

treatment the Taylor family can make that happen We're going to the staff

warehouse tomorrow. You stay here. No, I need to protect you Miss Taylor, I lost

a leg for you.

You're not gonna leave me behind. Are you I won't leave you behind

Still up?

The fuel line on this old engine was unstable.

I wasn't about to wake up freezing in the middle of the night again. The

output's 20% more stable than before.

Better than that.

Now it can power the heat, the cold storage, and the perimeter searchlights

all at once.

Starting tonight, this place finally has a real heartbeat. That's your reward.

One can of beef? That's all?

Everybody else gets half a can.

I spent all day fixing your generator.

I saved months worth of food. One can isn't enough.

Then what else do you want?

Didn't I tell you?

I'd let you know when I figured it out.

Now I know.

You know, Maddie and I... I know.

I'm not asking you to leave her.

And I'm not trying to take anyone's place.

Then what do you want from me?

Now I just go after what I want.

You sure about this?

You ask too many questions.

Before all this, she had land, a farm...

and a life she'd built with her own hands.

In this new world, she proved she had the skills to earn her place and

survive.

As for the reward she wanted, I had no reason to say no.

I threw myself at him, and he humiliated me in front of everybody.

Riley fixes one damn generator, and he takes her to bed?

All that crap about work and skills was just an excuse to play favorites.

So, you're not the only one.

This has nothing to do with you.

How is it not?

You risked your life getting out of that villa with him. You even slept with him.

And now a woman who's been here two days because she can fix an engine is already

taking your place?

Shut up.

You really thought you were the lady of the house?

To Alex, you're no different from me.

Just another woman he can replace whenever he feels like it.

Thought I found a way Thought I found a way, yeah

Don't open that. The smell of meat will blow every dead thing around.

I'm starving. I'm about to pass out.

Then carry it back first.

There's one more over here.

No! Run! Now!

You almost died for this?

A few cans and half a bag of flour?

What's wrong?

I'm okay.

It's just cold.

Let me see your arm.

Ella, don't make me ask again.

She's infected!

It's just a scratch.

That doesn't mean she's going to turn.

It's already in her bloodstream.

If we take the arm now, she might still have a chance.

Touch her and I swear I'll kill you.

Lena, move.

You said it was safe to go out during the day. That's why we went to the

warehouse. If we hadn't gone out, we would have starved in here.

This is your fault! You did this to her! And you!

You kept lying to us, saying rescue was coming. If it weren't for you, we would

have left with Alex already. I never wanted anyone to get hurt. But we're all

paying the price for your choices!

This isn't the time to blame each other.

Every second we wait, her chances get worse.

Lena, I don't want to become one of those things.

You won't!

You're not going to turn.

If I do turn, don't let me hurt you.

Her heart rate's climbing.

How much time does she have?

I don't know.

Get her outside!

She's gonna get us all killed!

Shut your damn mouth!

She's not human anymore!

Miss Taylor, you're safe now.

Don't be scared.

From now on, your safety is on me.

You came! I knew the security team would come for me! You saved my life.

Once we're back in the safe zone, I'll pay you $20 million.

Miss Taylor, getting you out was always the mission.

Then get us out of here.

Wait.

What about my father? Is he safe?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Nothing.

I just never thought I'd see you like this.

So helpless.

When are we leaving?

We lost a lot of men getting to this estate.

We're low on ammo and supplies.

We need to hold here and regroup.

But this place isn't safe.

It will be once I'm in control.

Miss Taylor, can you still reach the President?

The satellite phone is dead.

Don't tell him everything. We lost signal the first night. Where is my

father now? Did you make contact with him? When I left San Francisco, the

government emergency center had already fallen. The president was evacuated

under escort. After that, no one heard from him again.

No.

That's not possible.

Let's hope he's still alive.

If he's alive, he'll come for me.

Of course he will.

Where are the estate supplies?

If I tell Lucas, he'll take everything from Alex.

Miss Taylor?

There's a staff warehouse behind the hill.

The key is hidden somewhere in the villa.

It's dark now and there are too many infected outside.

First thing tomorrow morning, I'll take you there.

Fine.

What the hell are you doing?

Centralized control.

From now on, my men will control all weapons, food, and medicine.

On whose authority?

The authority of loaded guns.

Captain Lucas is right. In a crisis, centralized control is necessary.

And who the hell are you?

Carter Winsburn, estate operations director.

I've been managing these people on Miss Taylor's behalf.

A cripple running the place?

Are you supposed to be rescuing us?

I'm keeping you alive.

By locking us in a room?

They're infected all over the grounds. You're scared, emotional, and unstable.

Keeping you together in one room is the safest option.

Move them.

Don't touch it!

Miss Taylor, I have more information about your father.

I need to tell you in private.

Don't with him!

She's just shaken up.

Okay.

You said you had news about my father.

I do.

The bad news is, the old world is gone.

Your father may be dead.

And the government is finished.

So you, the former president's daughter... What

makes you any different from any other woman out there?

You said you had news about my father.

I told you already.

The government went silent.

The president is missing.

Even if my father is out of reach, the Taylor family still has people all over

this country.

Had. Past tense.

What the hell are you doing?

Before all this, this bottle cost more than what most men made in a year.

Now, it won't even get you one bottle of clean water. You still don't get it, do

you? this, Taylor.

Your family name isn't your most valuable asset anymore.

Get your hands off me.

Before the disaster, I stood outside your door all night like a damn dog.

When you felt generous, you called me Captain. When you didn't, you looked

right through me.

Now your father can't save you.

The law can't save you.

Nobody is coming.

I treated you well before.

That's why I'm giving you a choice.

Behave, and I'll be good to you.

Help!

Somebody help me!

Captain gets first pick.

The president's daughter.

So what do we do with the rest of the women?

Why rush?

Once we take the warehouse, we'll have all the supplies and women we want.

You heard them.

They didn't come here to rescue us.

Victoria's in danger.

Then we get out.

Now.

They have guns outside. How the hell are we supposed to get out?

You can pick locks?

Back at the boxing gym.

Idiots lost their locker keys every week.

Where are you going?

To find Alex.

We kicked him out, cursed him, and stole his supplies.

Why would he save us?

Because right now, he's the only man strong enough to save anyone.

And if he says no?

Then I'll get on my knees and beg.

Those meds belong to Miss Taylor.

Captain Lucas knows I'm the estate manager.

I can help you keep this place running.

You can't even stand up.

Who the hell are you going to manage?

Thirsty?

Crawl over there and drink off the floor.

Before the

disaster, no one would have dared talk to me like that.

Who is it?

It's me, Selene.

Lucas has taken over the villa.

Victoria is in danger.

So these are the security guys you've all been waiting on?

They're not security anymore.

They're thugs.

And why is that my problem?

I know we were wrong before.

If you help them, I'll join you. I'll train your guards and help you out of

debt.

Are you trying to cut a deal with me?

No.

I'm begging you.

Alex?

Get up. I need fighters in this base, not slaves.

I thought you'd use this chance to humiliate me.

If I wanted to humiliate you, I wouldn't have opened that door.

Lucas brought six men.

Two at the front door, one by the stairs, two outside the room where

they're holding them, and one outside the master bedroom.

They're all armed.

If we hit them head-on, we don't stand a chance.

But I've repaired every inch of this estate.

There's a maintenance tunnel beneath the boiler room. It leads straight into the

villa's basement.

There are zombies near the entrance.

Zombies don't attack me.

But they'll attack me.

Then stay close.

How close?

Stay within two feet of me.

Closer if you can.

Is this close enough?

Saving people comes first.

Maddie, Riley, hold the warehouse.

Lucy, you stay here too.

Why can't I go?

Because I don't trust you.

Selene, lead the way.

You can't do this! I'm the president's daughter! If you touch me, my father

will hunt you down!

Go on.

Keep talking.

This is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

Please.

Lucas, I can give you money. Anything you want. Just let me go.

Money?

These days it's not worth a single bullet.

Picking on women?

Is that all you've got?

Alex Cruz.

You remember me?

When I first joined the teams, you were one of the instructors who trained me.

Was I supposed to remember every recruit?

I wasn't running a damn fan club.

After you got out, we all figured some tier one black ops outfit had recruited

you. And now look at you.

Fixing toilets in this dump?

Join us.

I'll follow your lead.

Hell, I'll put you in charge of the whole crew.

My people have real firepower.

We've survived wave after wave of those dead freaks. We're the kind of force

that can actually make it.

We're heading east, to Nevada.

There's a settlement in Nevada.

Survivors have built intel legit. Rock solid.

Before the signal died, the raised OU kept broadcasting it, over and over. Why

the hell are you protecting these spoiled bitches?

You know exactly how they treated guys like you before the world fell?

Ordering you around, looking down on you. Now, stand with me. You can have

any woman you want. Take your pick. You've got a point. But this isn't the

kind of deal we talk about with a room full of guns pointed at me. Tell your

men to lower their weapons. You and me, we step outside and talk terms. One on

one.

That's what I like to hear. I like dealing with smart men. Come on, let's

talk outside.

Sir, whatever your plan is, I'm with you all the way.

Fuck! We've got a zombie breach!

Alex, don't trust him.

She used to treat you like hired help.

Now she suddenly cares about you?

At least you never shoved a gun in my face.

So, what kind of deal are you looking for?

That intel about the survivor base in Nevada?

Is it legit?

Early in the outbreak, the radio kept broadcasting the coordinates.

Military built walls, medical facilities, the whole package.

What else?

Join me, and I'll make you my second in command.

Funny. Didn't you just say you'd make me the boss?

Drop your weapons You heard him drop them

The

bites too close to the artery we take the arm now or the infection spreads

fast You brought that thing in here she's been in the villa the whole time

your men just did a lousy sweep

Saving your life doesn't mean you get to stay.

Just do it!

Take your men and get the hell off my property. You're letting me live? One

arm gone, dragging a bunch of dead weight through zombie territory, that's

a lot more interesting than killing you. I'll be back to settle this. Next time

you come back, it won't be your hand I take.

Thank you.

I saved everyone.

But you saved me too.

I was wrong before. I never should have kicked you out, I never should have let

Carter humiliate you, and I never should have forced everyone to wait for a

rescue that was never coming.

Sorry doesn't put food on the table.

I'm willing to work.

What can you do?

I can manage people, finances, and supply chains.

Good Start with the canned food inventory at my base. You're not the ex

president's daughter.

You're just another member understood Is

it over he saved me by the way, where

is he?

I'm here to make good on my promise.

What promise?

You got Victoria and the others out.

I join your base and train your guards.

That's a partnership, not a debt.

I know.

Which means what comes next isn't me paying you back.

It's what I want.

How long are you going to keep me pinned?

Until you tap out.

Tonight, I can lose once.

Before the fall, I was the one serving them.

Bringing tea, fixing toilets, getting ordered around like a dog.

Now, if they want to stay, they live by my rules.

I can handle it myself.

I know.

Alex, food's ready.

I'll help her.

I don't need help.

Good. I wasn't doing it for you.

Why the hell am I getting so little?

You get what you earn.

You only swept half the warehouse today.

I'm an actress, not some damn janitor!

There aren't any studios anymore.

You're doing this to get back at me!

If I wanted payback, I wouldn't have let you into the base.

Fine! Then I'm not eating.

Works for me.

Saves us your next ration, too.

I'm injured. Your wound is stable and your arms work just fine. You only

sorted ten tools today. I got hurt trying to get food for everyone. No, you

got hurt trying to steal my food.

From today on, this base runs on three rules.

Rule one, rations are earned through work and useful skills.

Rule two, no hiding supplies, no messing with equipment.

Rule three, nobody lays a hand on anyone in this group.

Break rule one, you go hungry. Break rule two, you're gone. Break rule three,

and I deal with you myself.

The bite's completely healed. No signs of necrosis around the wound.

So I'm immune?

For now, all I can say is your blood carries a unique antibody against the

virus.

Checking my heartbeat usually take this long?

I'm a doctor.

Doctors check abs now too?

No.

But you're the most unusual patient I've ever had. I want to be thorough.

Don't tell anyone about this.

Not yet.

Why not? Those antibodies could make you a symbol of hope.

But in the wrong hands, they could also make you lab material.

Alex?

I'm not really cut out for dirty work.

But I can be useful in other ways.

I'm prettier than Maddie, younger than Gwen, and I know men better than

Victoria ever will.

Give me a little extra food.

Let me move into your room.

I'll do anything you want.

When was the last time you showered?

You put on so much perfume, you're giving me a headache.

No wonder the whole hallway smells weird.

You too?

A

woman

that hot throws herself at you, and you really feel nothing?

Pretty doesn't keep the bass powered.

What about pretty and good with engines?

That might be worth an extra piece of beef.

I wasn't talking about beef.

He humiliated you, didn't he?

Get lost!

You really think he doesn't want you?

He just likes watching people crawl.

What are you getting at?

As long as Alex is alive, we'll always be living off his scraps.

The generator, the food, the weapons. He's got all of it.

If this base falls into chaos, he won't be in charge for long.

You have a plan?

I know where they keep the diesel barrels.

Are you sure no one's gonna find out? That engine's been falling apart for

years.

If it craps out, everyone will blame Riley.

Why the hell is the power out?

The diesel's contaminated.

Wasn't Riley in charge of the engine?

Maybe she got dirt in the fuel while she was working on it. I don't screw up like

that. I saw Riley hauling tools over here earlier.

Maybe something slipped in by accident. Shut your mouth!

Maybe something got in when I topped it off.

But not this much. Either way, the generator was my responsibility.

This isn't the time to point fingers.

Tomorrow, I'll head down to the gas station and bring back clean diesel.

I'm coming with you.

Even if we swap out the diesel, it'll take hours to get the power back.

There's a geothermal backup system under the presidential suite. It's not on the

blueprints. Because it wasn't for regular guests. It was VIP only.

i've stayed at another estate from the same chain the control room was hidden

behind the private hot spring you sure about that rich girls aren't completely

useless at least we know where rich people hide their secrets lead the way

You just saved everyone's asses. That's the first time anyone's praised me for

something besides my face, my dresses, or my father's name. And it's the first

time you've done something worth praising.

Other women spend their whole lives trying to prove how capable they are.

But tonight, I don't want to cash this in for anything from you.

Then what do you want? I want you to see me.

The real me.

Not a walker daughter, not some pretty little thing who screams when she's

scared.

This doesn't get you extra food.

And it doesn't get you out of work.

Good. Then I'll know you want me, not my father's money.

Be back early.

You worried about the base or worried about me? I handle supplies.

And the leader is a valuable asset.

Now that sounds more like the old you. Then let's say I'm worried about you.

Eat this on the road.

No detours.

Relax. I'm not dragging him all the way back to Tennessee.

What do you think you're doing?

The latch felt loose. I was worried a water might slam into it, so I came to

check. See? Doesn't it feel a little loose?

I checked it myself last night.

Guess I was overthinking it.

She's lying.

Your power is starting to feel like cheating. Yeah, but it can't protect

anyone who's not right beside me. That's why we need walls, generators and guns.

You get through the dead and I make sure there's fire, hot water and strawberry

pie waiting when you get back.

Not exactly the place to talk about food.

There's something off about Lucy.

And last night's diesel contamination?

That probably wasn't an accident either.

I don't have proof.

Then we don't tip her off.

Not yet.

Alex!

You have to try this.

I made this black carrot jam all by myself.

Don't eat it!

These aren't currants.

It's belladummia, deadly poison.

No!

I wasn't trying to hurt Alex!

I thought they really were currants!

I believe you.

Who told you those berries were safe to eat?

Lucy did.

Those are wild blackcurrants.

They're sweet.

Really? Alex loves jam made from those.

Pick some and make it for him.

Who knows?

Maybe he'll let you share his bed tonight.

I just wanted to make him something to thank him.

Right.

To thank him.

She did it on purpose.

The generator.

The iron gate.

The nightshade.

I'm ending this.

Now. Wait.

You still want to plead for her?

No.

Right now, all we have is Maddie's word.

Lucy can claim she mistook it for something else.

So? We get her to confess.

Did you used to set up your business rivals like this?

I just used to waste these skills on the wrong people.

Are you two done whispering?

Tonight, we'll stick to the plan.

Victoria knocked over the jam.

Did she figure it out?

I don't know.

Find a chance to grab some food tonight.

We leave together.

Move the base?

And go where?

Lucas can't have gone far.

Give him the base's location and defenses, and he'll protect us again.

If Alex dies, doesn't that make the base ours?

Then let's see if he makes it through tonight first.

I made this with the gooseberries I picked fresh.

Try some.

Alex!

It was her!

Maddie poisoned him!

It wasn't me.

She used deadly night seed and tried to pass it off as gooseberries.

She did this on purpose.

I knew something was wrong with her.

She's been trying to keep Alex all to herself.

Why aren't you dead?

Because there's no poison in this jam.

But you...

How did you know it was nightshale?

I just guessed. The nightshade outside the kitchen window was picked today.

The stems are still fresh.

And in this whole base, you were the only one who told Maddie those berries

were gooseberries.

I made a mistake.

And the diesel?

We found wheelchair tire tracks in the mud beside the diesel barrels.

Looks like one bad leg doesn't stop you from doing dirty work.

Lucy made me do it!

Bullshit! It was your idea!

It was your idea!

One of you sabotaged the generator.

The other tried to open the base gate.

And together you almost used Maddie to poison me. Base rules are clear.

Sabotage equipment, you get exiled.

Hurt one of our own...

I deal with it myself.

Nobody move.

Get me a vehicle, food, and a gun, or I'll slit her throat.

Alex, drop the gun.

Forget about me. Shut up!

right there you want a car i can get you one and food and guns

you can have it all but you made one mistake what

you never should have touched her

Back then, I was just doing what Miss Taylor told me to do. You bullied me

because you thought I was too weak to fight back. And now you tried to kill

Maddie because you thought she was weaker than you.

I can change!

Save it for the zombies.

Victoria!

Save me!

Take it and get out.

I was wrong.

Please, don't throw me out.

You're alive.

That's more mercy than you deserve.

We grew up together.

Please talk to him for me. You shoved me toward the zombies, sabotaged the base,

and tried to poison Alex.

I was just jealous.

Maddie, you're kind. You won't just stand there and watch me die, right?

I can't let you stay.

Because you tried to hurt Alex.

Victoria humiliated him too. She treated him like a dog, bossed him around, then

threw him out.

Why does she get to stay while I'm the one getting thrown out to die?

Just because she's prettier than me? You got it.

I like Victoria.

And yeah, she's way hotter than you.

I like you too.

I was just trying to piss Lucy off.

Why is Victoria taking this seriously?

You cheating scum-ass!

Victoria!

Lay her down flat!

Now!

Are you insane?

You really think someone like her could hurt me?

I was scared she'd hurt you.

It's deep.

She needs stitches right now.

This place isn't serial. The infection risk is high. Do whatever it takes.

Save her.

I will.

When you said you love me, did you mean it?

Every word.

You survive this, and we're going to Nevada to find a preacher.

We're getting married.

You should be thanking God Victoria's still breathing.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be walking out of this gate alive.

I'll be back!

Next time, I won't let you walk away.

Alex,

Victoria, Maddie,

I swear you're all going to pay for this.

Why the hell are you out here alone?

Captain Lucas, he's running that state. Alex is like a damn tyrant. He kills

anyone who gets in his way. I fought back, stabbed Victoria, and that's how I

got out.

You stabbed Victoria?

She took the knife for Alex.

She's badly hurt, unconscious. Alex must be losing his mind by now.

Lie to me again, and you'll regret it.

I'm telling the truth.

I know the base lake out. I know where the generators are, where the electric

fence is, everything.

Prove it

Then

you lead the way

You're

controlling the zombies they don't think they just follow noise

Draw it all for me the entrance the electric fence the generators the guard

posts everything I'll get you inside But Alex is mine And

what exactly are you gonna do with him I'm gonna make him get on his knees and

beg me for mercy You can try tonight

Alex and all his women feed the dead

Don't leave tonight.

Gwen said you need to rest.

I almost died once.

I'm done putting off what I want until tomorrow.

Back then, I made you get on your knees and shine my shoes.

Now, if someone has to bow their head, it can be me.

You don't have to pay me back like this.

I'm not paying you back.

And this isn't for food or a roof over my head.

It's because I want you.

Alex is still resting.

If anything comes up, tell me first.

So you're speaking for him now?

I'm just doing my job as quartermaster.

Got it. Just work.

We've got a horde incoming. Everyone, defensive positions!

Lucas led this horde here on purpose.

So what's the play?

Celine, Maddie, Dahlia, round up gasoline, alcohol, old clothes, and

empty bottles. Start making tolinovs. Got it.

Riley, keep the generator and the fence running. We don't kill the power until

the last possible weapon.

I'm on it.

Gwen, Lena, load the meds and food onto your truck. If the second line breaks,

we pull out immediately.

You, back to bed.

What am I supposed to do?

Stay alive.

I'm not your patient.

Right now, you are.

I can handle the supply evacuation.

Inner zone only.

And you?

I'm circling around back to take Lucas out. No way!

Trust the man you chose.

Come back alive.

What's wrong?

Consider that a blessing from an old friend.

If we're handing out blessings, I'll save mine for after the fight.

Survive first, flirt later.

Keep her safe.

Where are you going?

To put an end to this swarm.

If this keeps up, the coils are going to fry.

From here, we've got a clear shot at the fuel line.

Sully, the generator's been hit. The fence has three minutes top.

Water and meds first.

Canned food goes last.

Lift!

Alex isn't back yet.

I'm not leaving without him.

You want him to come back and find both of you dead?

He promised he'd come back.

He promised he wouldn't leave me behind.

Fine. If you two aren't leaving, neither am I.

But pulling out now is suicide the road is packed with walkers we try to punch

through we die

Then

we hold as long as we can He

saved every one of us now it's our turn to hold his base

Stand by for orders

We

meet

again

You got me, Alex.

I can live with that.

Took you long enough to admit it.

But I still don't see you making it out alive.

Kill me, and you're still stuck here with them.

You forgot one thing.

They don't go after me.

So the rumors are true.

Beck!

Alex!

Alex,

I was wrong. I screwed up.

Lucas made me do it.

I can take you back to the base.

So you can poison us again?

Or mess with the generator one more time?

From now on, I'll do anything you say.

I gave you more chances than you deserved.

You did this to yourself.

Took her to pain.

It's not gonna kill me!

Hey.

Don't read too much into it. I just don't want Alex coming back and blaming

me.

Gave you my word

You

promised

you wouldn't leave me behind too I remember

man knock over every fuel barrel now you want to set the whole perimeter on fire

as long as the base is still standing we can rebuild the walls

people come first as

long as we're still breathing nothing else matters

Hold for ten seconds!

That's all we need.

Run around like that again and this wound really will get infected.

I couldn't just stand there and watch him walk to his death alone.

Looks like I've got plenty of competition.

Don't forget to count me in.

Kidding.

The vehicle damage is minor.

I can finish the upgrades in three days.

We still need to reset the outer perimeter.

We only have enough medicine for one month.

We need a supply run.

This is the Nevada Survivor Base.

Coordinates 39 degrees north, 117 degrees west.

We have secure walls, clean water, and medical facilities.

Any survivors hearing this message are welcome to join us.

Assuming the broadcast is still live.

Either way, at least we've got a direction now.

When we get to Nevada, we're getting married.

Who says he has to marry you first?

He promised me himself.

That was just him trying to comfort you because you were hurt.

How would you know?

I was right there.

I don't mind a fair fight.

Gets a Nevada alive first.

Then you can argue about who sleeps in which vehicle.

Medically speaking, Alex's body is now a high priority research subject.

That wasn't a joke this time.

Before the outbreak, I was just a repairman everyone pushed around.

After the outbreak, cash became worthless.

What really matters now is food, weapons, and strength.

And he's worthy enough to stand beside me.

This time,

there's no family, no security team, and no helicopter.

I only trust you.

I trusted him from the very beginning.

Technically, in the beginning, you were just scared of being left alone.

Still better than showing up late like you did.

Everyone, get in.

On the way back, I'm taking the front seat.

We'll talk when we reach Nevada.

Nevada Survivor Base calling all survivors.

Possible full antibody carrier identified.

Target name, Alex Cruz.

What is it?

Target appears to be ignored by the infected.

Get located.

Capture him alive.

Looks like Nevada may not be waiting to welcome us.

Then we'll make sure they understand we're not coming to beg for help.

We're going there to beg for help.
