DUTCH Stop it! Stop it! Satrakian! ROSALINDA At least in here I can pretend things are normal. DUTCH Not for me it isn't. ROMAN This is a Whiskey 8-5 mod four variable unit nuclear war head. It's missing the pit assembly. FET The muncher convoy we saw, maybe that's what they were doing. We got to find that convoy. EPHRAIM Join the partnership. ALEX New horizons. It's on the wall in the transportation office. EPHRAIM And the train schedule, too. They've been shipping people out of the city. ALEX Where? EPHRAIM I don't know, but I can tell you one thing. I bet it doesn't look exactly like this. EPHRAIM Come on. Shit. Well, there's a town just south of here. Might be able to get a car, or at least siphon off some gas. ALEX Where is everyone? EPHRAIM Yeah, I guess we're both a little on edge. ALEX Yeah. What's so wrong about this place? EPHRAIM I don't know. Doesn't look like anybody put up a fight. Huh. No signal, but there's some juice in the battery. ALEX You looking for something in particular or just being a creep? EPHRAIM Maybe a clue to figure what happened around here. EMILY Hi, I'm Emily Stevens, and this is my vlog. I have enough peanut butter and tuna for, like, a really long time. I don't care if Dad traded for a cool new suitcase, I'm not going. ALEX That was dated two weeks ago. Go to the one from the day prior. EMILY I don't get why Mom and Dad are so excited to go to New Horizons. I just finished decorating my room. They can do what they want, but I'm not going. Fortunately, the workers never finished my closet. Dad has no idea. EPHRAIM Maybe she's still here. EMILY DAD Emily. EMILY Yeah? EMILY DAD It's almost curfew. Come inside and pack. EMILY But, Dad, I don't want to go. EMILY DAD I promise you're going to love the new place. We're gonna have a garden. You'll be able to play outside whenever you want. Doesn't that sound nice? EMILY Not really. EPHRAIM This is her house. EPHRAIM Emily? ALEX You worried about strigoi? EPHRAIM I'm worried about a strigoi Emily. Emily? Must have gone with her parents. ALEX You think? EPHRAIM Well, I don't see any cool new suitcase around here. ALEX You coming to bed? EPHRAIM Oh, um I should probably hit the couch. ALEX I didn't mean it like that. The safest thing for us to do is to be together. I promise I won't take advantage of you, Doctor Goodweather. EPHRAIM No, it's not like that. Normally I'd let you. I'm just trying to be a different person. ALEX Will you just shut up so we can go to sleep? FET Every time we get to a silo, these assholes beat us. ROMAN We're running out of silos to hit. We can't win. FET They'll be out of here soon. What the hell is that thing? QUINLAN A mongrel. The master's mongrels were baked on loam and anointed with a worm exchange over two full moons. ROMAN Obviously. QUINLAN A frontal assault at this point would decimate our ranks. FET You might be right. With these monsters, mongrels and all those collaborators, hitting them now would be suicide. QUINLAN Finally we agree on something. FET Yeah. We're gonna have to take them on the move. FET So, they're clearly taking the pits on route five. But where? ROMAN Might be going to the salt mine down state to dispose of them. FET If we want to turn our nuke into a functioning one, we're gonna have to steal a pit. BEN From that convoy? I don't think so. FET Come one, Ben. We can handle it. BEN The only thing we're getting from this shit show is our asses handed to us. COFFER We all saw those mongrel monsters. They even made Rob Zombie nervous. FET Quinlan can take 'em. BEN Quinlan can't even take care of himself right now. Charlotte's spoon feeding him our blood. Yeah, I think I've given enough. QUINLAN If they don't want to help, then I'll do it myself. FET Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey. We need those guys. QUINLAN I need no one. I've been hunting the Master on my own for over a thousand years. FET Yeah. And how's that working out for you? QUINLAN Don't test me. FET Look, I get it. You don't like people. And most of them don't want to share a beer with you. But what you're doing right now is stupid. All right. And you're only doing it because you're rattled. You almost died in that silo, but I got you out. So don't fight me. Work with me, and we'll get this job done. CHARLOTTE All right, the guys are in. FET What changed their minds? CHARLOTTE I did. I told them they could have all the silver in the back of that truck. FET I didn't see any silver. CHARLOTTE Well, neither did I, but they don't know that. FET That's my girl. Yeah. CHARLOTTE Hey. Hey. FET All right. Yes. CHARLOTTE Your blood. QUINLAN Thank you, Charlotte. LOUISA Hu Die, has there been any word yet? HU DIE I have seen no one of the type you search for. Not here. Not ever. Go. Abandon your quest. Unless you would like to come in. See for yourself. Tell your brother I wish him good fortune. LOUISA It is too late for that. SAILOR Clergyman's daughter, are you? Hmm? Take a walk with us. Come on. You bitch. LOUISA I will do worse. QUINLAN You seek me. Why? LOUISA You are an immortal. DUTCH No! Get off! No! Get off me! GUARD You're wanted downstairs. EICHORST I thought you might be hungry. Please, sit. I had so hoped we could have a civilized conversation. DUTCH Go to hell, you sick piece of shit. EICHORST Wouldn't you like to survive this ordeal, Ms. Velders? Your blood type is incredibly desirable, but, much like veal, there is nothing better than infant B positive. DUTCH What's the point of this charade? EICHORST I want you to enjoy a meal. You haven't eaten in days. DUTCH Not the meal. The makeup. Suits. The bullshit civility. You've won. You could be like your own kind now. EICHORST No. I'm different. I'm special. Apart from all the others, the Master blessed me with free will. He entrusted me with implementing his vision of this world. DUTCH What do you want from me? EICHORST Abraham Setrakian. Perhaps you can tell me his whereabouts while you enjoy your meal. Or I could make a meal of you. Then the Master will know everything. DUTCH Your minions separated us when they brought us in. I'm sure Setrakian has been drained and discarded by now. The very system that you created has robbed you of your greatest victory. You will never have the satisfaction of lording your big win over him. EICHORST Mr. Desai, check your records. An old man between the ages of 70 and a hundred had been processed the same day she was. What happened to him? DESAI Right away, Mr. Eichorst. All right, I have, um, four B positive men in his age range that were processed that day. EICHORST Is one of them Setrakian? Is he alive? DESAI Okay, two of them were drained, one of them died of pneumonia three weeks prior EICHORST And the last one? DESAI The last one is in a bone marrow experiment. EICHORST Where is he? DESAI Um, research wing seven. EICHORST Seven. I'll check for myself. DESAI Mr. Eichorst. What about her? EICHORST Hold her until I verify Setrakian, then drain her. DOCTOR HIMOFF We're actually in the middle of an experiment on geriatric patients to expand their viable blood production life span. EICHORST I'm not interested in your experiments. I'm looking for this old man with a tattoo. A, two, three, O, three, eight, five. DOCTOR HIMOFF I know the exact person you're looking for. EICHORST Where is he? DOCTOR HIMOFF Uh, he's, uh, right here. EICHORST Wake him now. DOCTOR HIMOFF Bone marrow extraction is incredibly painful, and he's been heavily sedated. A regimen of amphetamines would be too stressful for his heart. I mean, it could kill him. EICHORST Either you wake him right now, or I will make sure the next test subject will be Doctor Joseph Himoff. DOCTOR HIMOFF Nurse Cohen, 600 milligrams of dextramphetamine, please? FET Quinlan, you in position? QUINLAN Yes. The same position I was in 30 minutes ago. FET We spotted the convoy. It's headed your way. HU DIE QUINLAN No. LOUISA Do I sit here with a demon? QUINLAN Were you not sent by one? By the Master? LOUISA No. My brother. QUINLAN Your brother sends you looking for demons? LOUISA He seeks your gift immortality. He lies near death. Beyond the help of medicine. His curiosity about the dark arts revealed your secrets to him. He begged me to find someone from your exotic order. QUINLAN My order is not one I wish any soul to join. LOUISA If money or property is of no allure to you. QUINLAN You'd do this for your brother? LOUISA Please. He suffers so. QUINLAN I am indeed a demon. But my curse is my own. I have not gifts, dark or light, to give. LOUISA I beseech you. Visit my brother, if only to confirm his belief in the fantastic. CYRIL Louisa, darling? Who is with you? LOUISA Someone fantastic. CYRIL A strix, the immortal race. The lore is true. Oh, beautiful fiend, show me your teeth. I want to know forever. I want to know deliverance. QUINLAN Syphilis the great pox. LOUISA For a time I covered the guilty rash and became quite artful with stage makeup. But now... now it has his mind. QUINLAN Release him. A draught of laudanum from Hu Die. LOUISA I can't. Losing my twin is like losing half myself. I don't want to live without him. Are there any others of your kind who might QUINLAN There are no others in all of London Town. Of that I'm certain. LYDIA Mama. LOUISA Child, what is it? LYDIA I had a bad dream, mother. I thought I saw a monster. LOUISA Welcome Mister. QUINLAN Quinlan. LOUISA Welcome Mister Quinlan to our home like a proper lady. EPHRAIM How long you been up here? ALEX Lie down. Look at this. I haven't seen stars in nine months. EPHRAIM Couldn't sleep? Yeah, me, too. ALEX You ever wonder what life would have been like if this never happened? EPHRAIM I try not to. ALEX I always thought I'd move out of Philly one day. Get a house like this. Live the American dream. EPHRAIM Yeah, I wasn't really cut out for suburban bliss. ALEX You know what I mean. No matter how you might have felt about your old life, it's better than this. FRANCIS Slide me that weapon. You want to lock the door, sweetheart? FRANCIS What are you two doing here? EPHRAIM Just taking shelter for the night. FRANCIS You know they send strigoi in forces through here every couple days. Better be careful. EPHRAIM Thanks for the advice. Do you mind lowering the rifle? FRANCIS Sorry about that. EPHRAIM It's all right ALEX We understand. You're scared. FRANCIS I'm running out of time. ALEX We're still in this. We work together, we can turn it around. FRANCIS No, me. I'm done. Look at me. EPHRAIM You're turning. FRANCIS Goddamn monsters. It's just my luck. I escaped from that New Horizons. Then this happens. ALEX You escaped? From New Horizons? FRANCIS They sold us all a bill of goods. Told us we won't have to worry about rations and curfew anymore. We were gonna start a farming community. I got to that welcome center, I just got a weird feeling. Saw a delivery truck leaving, hid in the back. Figured I had enough in cans to last a while, and I'd scavenge the rest. EPHRAIM So, you didn't actually see the farming community. FRANCIS I didn't want to. That truck pulled out. I rolled out the back. Took the back roads to here. Been hiding out ever since. EPHRAIM Could you find it again if you had to? ALEX I guess. I don't want to. EPHRAIM This is important. I need to understand what they're doing. If I can, maybe we can beat them. EICHORST A-two-three-O-three-eight-five. Welcome back. SETRAKIAN Rather an imaginary snake attack me than see your face, Eichorst. Where am I exactly? EICHORST Don't you know? This is the end. SETRAKIAN Of what? EICHORST Of everything. Of our decades-long conflict. Of Abraham Setrakian. SETRAKIAN Even on my deathbed, your pettiness is nothing more than an annoyance. EICHORST Oh, don't you worry. You're not going to die. Not yet. First, I need you to do something for me. Then, and only then, will I allow you to pass. SETRAKIAN I will do nothing for you. EICHORST But what I ask is so simple and will ensure your suffering is brief. I just need you to admit one thing. That your God does not exist. SETRAKIAN For your sake, you should hope that he does not. EICHORST Oh, Abraham, I know he doesn't. I just need to hear you say it. SETRAKIAN I'll see you in hell, Eichorst. EICHORST Yes. But you are already there. ADMINISTRATOR You are the lucky ones. The shaving is just the first step in a new radiation inoculation which will help with the potential side effects from the Illumination. What's this? GUARD 1 She's priority. Per Mister Desai. ADMINISTRATOR Thank you. This batch is all being processed this morning. ROSALINDA You okay? GUARD 2 All right, curly, you're up. Take a seat. Eyes down. Be still. DUTCH This is all a lie. GUARD 2 Hey, shut up. DUTCH You're all about to be murdered! Drained of your blood. Just like the babies that they are draining in here, our babies! GUARD 3 Sit down. DUTCH That's what they're counting on. That we will willingly go to the slaughter. ADMINISTRATOR Restrain her! Now! DUTCH Get the others out of here. ROSALINDA What about you? DUTCH My friend might be alive. If he is, I have to help him. DUTCH Professor? Professor. SETRAKIAN Miss Velders how are you? DUTCH Better now I found you. EICHORST How touching. I'm sorry to say that your reunion will be short. What can you possibly do with that? MAN Run him over. PARTNERSHIP DRIVER That guy you just ran over? He's on the trailer now. QUINLAN Resist the temptation to read anything into the fact that I saved you. Again. FET I will. CHARLOTTE We better hurry. Reinforcements will be on the way. FET And I'd bet my bed roll that there's a tracking device on this truck. BEN All right, let's get that silver and get the hell out of here. FET Uh, yeah. About that. CHARLOTTE I might have stretched the truth about exactly how much silver we saw being loaded into the truck. BEN How much did you see? FET Approximately? None. COFFER Hold on. You telling me we risked our lives taking this convoy so that you could get plutonium and we could get nothing? FET I wouldn't say nothing. You have our undying gratitude. COFFER I'm guessing the Partnership will do better. In fact, I'm fairly certain they'll pay a pretty penny to get their plutonium back. Along with you and hairless. Dead o CHARLOTTE Wait! Guys! FET Roman, come on. ROMAN You want to go in that truck? FET We got to get the pit. Before back-up shows up. Come on. No other munchers in here. ROMAN Oh, be careful, be careful. This stuff is no joke. FET I wasn't planning on being anything but careful. QUINLAN Took your time. FET Well, we got the pit. It's all that matters. QUINLAN Nothing matters until the Master's destroyed. FET You just can't be happy, can you? CYRIL Bring me another. Another! I want the curse. The life. Louisa! Help me, please! Please! Louisa! QUINLAN Near death. Yet you still cater your brother's madness. LOUISA Because of compassion. Do you have none? QUINLAN I don't know. I've never wondered. LOUISA I don't know how I'll go on without my twin brother. I would be shut away in Broadmoor forever if not for Lydia and you. QUINLAN Me? LOUISA Cyril would recount for me tales of history. Bloody battles in palace intrigue. You have lived them. QUINLAN You are a strange creature. LOUISA Will you indulge me? LOUISA You are quite beautiful. Please. I want to feel it. PRIEST Our father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever, amen. PRIEST Sister Agnes, what's this? Relic from overseas? Sister, did you open it already? Soil? ON-SCREEN TEXT New Horizons / Get out of the city, get back to the land. EPHRAIM Francis? FRANCIS Stay close to the shoulder. If you hear a vehicle, hide. ALEX How you feeling? FRANCIS Like I'm dying slowly. EPHRAIM You're doing the right thing taking us there. FRANCIS What's the point? I'll be one of those things soon. EPHRAIM No, you won't. When the time comes, I'll make sure of it. FRANCIS Oh, great, you're going to kill me first. Thanks, doc, I appreciate it. EPHRAIM It beats the alternative. FRANCIS I went that way to the welcome center, but we should take the access road. ON-SCREEN TEXT New Horizons Welcome Center Ahead ALEX What we're looking for probably won't be at some welcome center anyway. EPHRAIM I've been thinking. The Master reverted our information society to a technological society in a matter of weeks. This New Horizons seems like another step backwards to an agrarian society. ALEX He wants us to be farmers? EPHRAIM Not a chance. FRANCIS Oh, dear lord. ALEX Is that? EPHRAIM Yeah. FRANCIS EPHRAIM You okay? FRANCIS There's something evil down that road. I don't want to see it. I didn't want to see it before, and I definitely don't want to see it now. It's my last day on this planet. I can't. No, I won't go. EPHRAIM Francis, if I don't release you, you'll turn into one of them. FRANCIS Release me? You mean murder me. No, doc, I don't want you to kill me. I did what you asked. ALEX Go. It's her choice. ALEX That smell, what is it? EPHRAIM Nothing good. You sure you want to keep going? ALEX I don't want to. I feel like we need to. EPHRAIM You hear that? ALEX Yeah. FRANCIS Goodweather. I knew you'd surface. EPHRAIM Yeah, I'm back. You know where I am? FRANCIS New Horizons. You did not release this body when you had the chance. Perhaps you hoped to hear from me about your son. EPHRAIM Zach's alive? FRANCIS Yes. He is an apt student. You would be astounded by his progress had you not fled New York like a coward. ALEX You okay? EPHRAIM Yeah, let's finish this. Oh, my God. This is the Master's final solution. We're not the farmers. We're the livestock.
