The clock tower begins to tilt.
Kyle: Get back!
The survivors and Berrington residents move out of the way as the clock tower falls, destroying a part of Berrington's walls. The survivors and Berringon survivors recover as the dust settles and infected begin to breach the premises of Berrington.
Kyle: Everyone! Get back! Get into your houses!
Kyle shoots at a few infected, before Sarah pulls out her machete and slices a few of the infected. Alicia pulls out her pistol and shoots a few of the infected down. Meanwhile, Caleb, John, Peter, Anna and Kayla manage to retreat to the nursery. Dennis attempts to rush in also, but is dragged outside and devoured by infected.
Dennis: No! No! No!
Kayla: Dennis!
John: Come on! It's too late!
John pulls Kayla inside and slams the door. Kyle, Sarah and Alicia continue shooting at infected, before Alicia manages to save Kyle from getting attacked from behind.
Alicia: You okay?!
Kyle nods.
Kyle: Alicia!
Suddenly, an infected attacks and bites Alicia on the arm. Alicia screams in pain, before Sarah shoots the infected in the head.
Alicia: Oh, god!
Sarah: Alicia! You okay?!
Alicia: My arm! My arm!
Kyle: Sarah! Hold her arm out!
Sarah: What?!
Kyle: Just do it!
Sarah holds Alicia's arm out as Kyle equips his Zeus Corps machete, activating the fire feature.
Alicia: Wait! Wait!
Kyle: It'll hurt just only a few minutes, okay?!
Kyle quickly severs Alicia's infected arm off as she screams. Meanwhile, Cassandra is struggling to retreat, but successfully manages to climb up a tower. However, the ladder breaks, but Cassandra clings onto the edge and climbs onto the surface of the tower, successfully. She then looks at the yellow balloons floating. In the streets of Berrington, Kyle carries the wounded Alicia with Sarah covering for them.
Chris: Kyle!
Rachel, Chris, Savannah and Morgan sprint and join Kyle, Sarah and Alicia.
Morgan: Is she okay?!
Sarah: She got bit!
Morgan: What?!
Kyle: We cut off her arm! We need to get her somewhere safe!
Alicia: Just leave me....please...
Kyle: No fucking way.
Sarah: We're not leaving you, Alicia.
Suddenly, more infected block their path, but then Brie and Zeke shoot the infected down.
Brie: Come on! Get in my house! Go!
Kyle, Sarah, Alicia, Chris, Savannah, Rachel, Morgan, Brie and Zeke retreat into the house. Outside of Berrington, James and Hunter look at the chaos.
James: Fuck....
Hunter: What now? They got in....
James: We gotta get in there. We gotta help...
Hunter looks down and shakes his head.
Hunter: James...we can't save Berrington. It's as good as dead.
James: Hey, no. I don't buy that! Okay? We can still save the community. All of us!
Hunter: This is how it happens, James. This is what always happens.
James: My wife is still in there. My best friend, Kyle. Families. Friends. People who care about you.... Rachel....she's in there. You're just gonna run away? Forget about this. Then fine....but you're dishonoring yourself and all the people who have died.
James walks away, but Hunter, after thinking, is convinced. In the Burns house, Kyle and Sarah carry Alicia. Seth is in his room, listening to the commotion outside.
Kyle: Samantha! You got an extra bedroom?!
Samantha: Uh...yeah...yeah! Here! Here!
Samantha leads Kyle and Sarah upstairs.
Kyle: Which one?!
Samantha: The one on the right! The right!
Samantha enters Seth's room and walks past him in frenzy.
Samantha: Seth, let down the slides! Stay away from the windows!
Seth: Why, Mommy?
Samantha: Seth, just do it!
Seth looks outside to see the horde of infected.
Seth: What happened? Mom?
Samantha: Seth, just close the blinds and stay away from the windows, honey!
Seth looks to the room across from him to notice Alicia's amputated arm.
Seth: What happened to Alicia?
Samantha: Don't look, baby. Look at me.
Seth: Are we gonna die?
Samantha: No, baby. We're not. We're going to be okay. It's going to be okay. Just be brave, alright?
Samantha turns to Savannah, then grabs a pen and paper before writing on it. Samantha writes "My son is scared. Can you stay with him?". Savannah reads the note, then nods.
Samantha: Thank you.
In the nursery, Caleb, John, Kayla, and Peter look outside. Kayla looks outside to notice the infected still devouring what remains of Dennis.
Kayla: Dennis. We just left him.
Caleb: Hey...there was nothing. We could do.
Peter: You guys see anything?
John: Those things are filling the fucking streets....fast, too.
Caleb sighs.
Caleb: But what about Kyle? Sarah?
Kayla: I see Cassandra on the tower....but I don't see my sister.
Peter: I don't see Anna, either. Shit.
John: What are we going to do? How are we going to get out of this?
Caleb sighs.
Caleb: Hey...we've been through worse than this. We'll be fine.
In Brie's house, Samantha begins to cover the windows as Kyle approaches her.
Samantha: How is she?
Kyle: Fever's kicking in. We might've been too late....if she does, she knows how it's gonna happen, right?
Samantha: Yeah, she does....
Kyle sighs.
Kyle: I thought Melanie was dead all this time...but she survived of course....she went to the quarry and brought those infected here.
Samantha touches Kyle's arm.
Samantha: Kyle, you couldn't have known.
Kyle: We have food to last us a while. They're bound to cluster up and move to one area, when they do, Sarah and I will get to the armory. Fire off a flare to draw them off and away from Berrington. See if we can get them somewhere that's not here.
Sarah sits in the room with a dying Alicia.
Sarah: How you feeling?
Alicia: Like shit.....I should've just let you shoot her.....Did she really kill Colleen?
Sarah, unable to answer, looks down. Alicia's lower lip quivers.
Sarah: I'm sorry, Alicia. We were eventually going to tell you, but....this happened....
Alicia: Fuck.....she did it to save her own ass....now all my family is gone.
Sarah: Hey, no....you're gonna live....through this....you will live through this....
Alicia laughs.
Alicia: So I can get another person killed again; like I got Brigg, Brie and Zeke killed.
Sarah: That wasn't your fault.
Alicia: Yes, it was, Sarah....and again; it was because Wes talked about Melanie...and now, Berrington's gonna die because of me again....You don't need someone like me slowing you down.....
A brief pause.
Alicia: How did you do it? After you lost your sister? How did you cope?
Sarah sighs.
Sarah: I....I remembered when I was pregnant with my daughter, Rose, who....I also lost....I was scared....I didn't what to do, but....Kyle....he walked away, but then his brother, Jake, convinced him to step up....Kyle pulled me through....so many times and I pulled him up when he lost Jake....lost his father, Andrew....when he....when he had to kill his mother...
Alicia: I'm sorry....but maybe you can get a chance again....here...to have a family....to start something....
Sarah: I don't know. I don't want to go through that again....losing a child in this world....it does something to you....
Alicia: But gaining a child can also build something in you.
In the kitchen, Chris is looking out the window with his machete in hand, before Kyle approaches him.
Kyle: You got any ideas?
Chris: If we had the ammo, we could shoot our way out.
Kyle: Fuck....
Chris: Uh...when I was on that tower, I used to read Zeus Corps magazines on weapons and it's a very simple concept....would've been useful now.
Downstairs, Morgan goes to the garage as she then leans against the wall, grabbing her hair. Rachel sees this and enters the garage, closing the door.
Rachel: Morgan? Hey....
Rachel approaches Morgan.
Rachel: You okay?
Morgan: We're all gonna die....we're gonna fucking die.
Rachel: Look, Kyle's smart. He'll figure something out..
Morgan turns to Rachel, glaring.
Morgan: Bullshit.....Kyle is just gonna get more people killed. Cause that's what you and your people are. Killers. People around here may have forgotten, but I still remember what you did. You killed my mom, our real leader.
Rachel: And you killed Jason and Joshua, you remember that?! Hmm? And Kyle is a real leader. He helped you all fight back against the raiders and we won...We fucking won, Morgan. Don't you see that?!
Morgan stares at Rachel, then looks around.
Rachel: Look, I know you don't like me, but now is that the time for this bullshit.
Morgan: We're gonna die, Rachel. My sister. My nephew.
Rachel: Hey, listen to me. We're going to make it. All of us.
Morgan walks past Rachel to the garage door and locks it.
Rachel: What the fuck are you doing?
Morgan: Sarah. Kyle....You...you're all dead, too.
Morgan then reaches for her gun, before Rachel's eyes widen, then she runs.
Morgan: We're all gonna die.
Rachel attacks Morgan, causing a struggle. The two fall as Morgan grabs a shovel and attempts to attack Rachel, who dodges and shatters the glass to the door, drawing the infected attention. Kyle and Samantha run to the garage door and attempt to open it.
Kyle: Rachel!
Samantha: Morgan!
In the garage, Morgan presses the bar of the shovel against Rachel's neck, choking her, but outside, the infected break in through the fence.
Kyle: Rachel! Open the door!
Samantha: Let me in! Morgan, open the fucking door right now, goddammit!
Kyle: Back up! Back up!
Kyle equips his Zeus Corps machete and attempts to break the door handle. In the garage, Rachel headbutts Morgan, causing her to lose her grip as the infected attempt to break in.
Morgan: Shit...
Rachel grabs a shelf and presses it against the door, blocking the infected.
Rachel: Morgan! Help me!
Morgan then looks around and grabs her gun just as Kyle finally manages to break the door open.
Kyle: Come on!
Rachel and Morgan run through the door as Kyle and Samantha shut it. Rachel and Morgan help the adults keep the infected back.
Chris: Kyle!
Chris brings a piece of furniture.
Kyle: Move! Move!
Samantha, Rachel and Morgan back away as Kyle and Chris press the furniture against the garage door. Sarah runs downstairs.
Kyle: We need more furniture and we need to be quiet.
Sarah: I'll see what I can find.
Chris: I'll help.
Zeke: Me, too.
Sarah, Chris and Zeke run off to find furniture. Kyle nods to Samantha.
Kyle: Samantha!
Samantha: Yeah...
Samantha: helps Kyle, Rachel and Morgan keep the furniture back.
Kyle: Rachel, what the hell happened?!
Rachel: We....we were looking for tools and knocked down a shelf.
Samantha: We heard yelling and it sounded like-
Rachel: Yeah, Morgan saw them break through the gates. We needed to move. That's what happened.
Morgan walks over to Rachel.
Morgan: Rachel, there's nightstands in my room that could help. We could brace the couch with them.
Samantha: Wait, wait....it sounded you were fighting.
Morgan: Uh...
Rachel: Yeah, we were fighting them.
Morgan walks upstairs, before Rachel looks at her, then at Kyle.
Kyle: You sure you're okay?
Rachel: Yeah, it's okay.
Upstairs, Morgan and Rachel enter Morgan's bedroom, before Rachel shuts the door.
Morgan: Rachel, I-
Rachel aims her pistol at Morgan.
Rachel: Give me the fucking gun. Now. Or I swear to God, I'll kill you. I don't care if every infected in the community hears it.
Morgan: Rachel, I'm sorry, okay? Please, don't shoot me.
Rachel: I won't....if you do like I asked and give the fucking gun.
Morgan looks down at the gun, then hands it to Rachel, who then puts the pistol in her back pocket.
Rachel: Look, I get it.....You don't like me and I killed your mom...but your mom was a real bitch....She would've traded you and your family to save her own ass in a heartbeat.
Downstairs, Chris and Sarah look outside Berrington as Kyle, Brie, Zeke, Savannah and Morgan join them.
Sarah: They knocked that sculpture over.
Samantha: All that goddamn noise is drawing more.
Savannah speaks in sign language to Rachel.
Savannah: Are we okay?
Rachel: (sign language) I don't know, honey.
Samantha turns to Seth.
Samantha: Seth...why don't you and Savannah go back upstairs, okay?
Seth nods.
Okay.
I'll go check on Alicia.
Kyle goes upstairs to check on Alicia, finding her passed out. Kyle shakes Alicia awake.
Kyle: Hey...
Alicia: Hmm?
Kyle: You passed out.
Alicia: I did?
Kyle: Yeah....
Alicia: Shit....didn't feel like I was dying....
Alicia smiles.
Kyle: What are you smiling about?
Alicia: It's just....I was dreaming about that place Melanie was talking about....where people get to be people again.....I was there for a moment....with my parents, Melanie and Colleen...but they looked....they didn't look like they did when they died....they looked clean of their wounds....
Alicia: Laura would've made you their leader, Kyle....I'm honored to die as one of your people rather than hers.
Kyle: Laura never made me Berrington's leader.
Alicia: She didn't have to....I didn't save you, because I liked you...or because I think you're a good man or a good father.....or because you can grow a lot of hair....that's the one thing that bums me out....you're gonna need a new barber.
Alicia laughs as Kyle laughs, too.
Alicia: I ran over to help you, because you're one of our people now. You're our kind.
Kyle: You sound like James.....
Samantha: Kyle! We need you!
In the nursery, Caleb, Kayla, John, Samantha and Peter continue to wait.
Samantha: Well, on the bright side, most folks got inside their houses. There's that.
Kayla sighs.
Kayla: You think this is it?
Samantha: What?
Kayla: You think this place is over?
Caleb: No, it's not. We're going to fight....Sooner or later, we're gonna end up fighting our way out of here.
Kayla sighs.
Kayla: I don't want to say it...but I feel like Shawn's dead.
Caleb: I know Shawn. He's been my friend for years. Margaret, too....and James....they're gonna make it. Rocky and Hunter, too....they're going to make it back here.
In the Burns house, downstairs, infected begin to break in through the front door as Samantha and Chris hold furniture against the door while Rachel and Morgan press more furniture against the door. Kyle runs in and presses himself against the furniture.
Chris: Shit, there's just too many of them.
More infected break in through the door as Sarah equips her machete.
Sarah: Get upstairs! Now!
Kyle, Sarah, Samatha, Morgan, Rachel, and Chris run upstairs and block the stairs with the couch. Seth pops his head out.
Seth: Mom?!
Samantha: Honey, go back in your room right now, okay?!
Seth walks back to Savannah and sits with her, before she writes on her notebook. She writes, "is everything okay?". Seth writes "No, I think the monsters are inside."
Sarah: Please tell me you have an idea.
Kyle: I do....
Kyle equips his Zeus Corps machete and hacks into two infected, before he brings two infected upstairs.
Rachel: Go. I'll watch if anyone squeezes through.
Kyle and Sarah bring the two infected into a bedroom.
Kyle: We need bed sheets, enough for all of us.
Samantha: For what?
Kyle: We all go to the armory.
Samantha: How?
Kyle: We're gonna cover our scent from the infected. Cover ourselves with their guts, it'll mask our smell, make them think we're one of them. It's how we were able to get on the raider boat.
Morgan: What?
Kyle: It's how we rescued the others from the raiders.
Chris brings the bedsheets.
Samantha: You sure this will work?
Kyle: It will. Look, they're in the house and making noise. More of them are coming....
Kyle and Sarah bisect and disembowel the two dead infected. Rachel, Samantha, Morgan and Chris give disgusted looks.
Chris: Fuck, man....
Kyle: It's either this or we die.
Chris: What about Alicia?
Kyle, unable to answer, looks at Sarah, who then sighs. Sarah then walks into the room and finds Alicia, apparently sleeping. Sarah then shakes Alicia.
Sarah: Alicia? Alicia?
Sarah soon realizes Alicia has passed away from blood loss coming from her amputated arm. Sarah gives a tearful look and pulls out her knife.
Sarah: I'm sorry, Alicia.
Sarah then exits the bedroom as she looks at her bloodstained knife. Kyle then walks up to Sarah.
Sarah: She's dead....I made sure she didn't turn.
Kyle nods and is visibly saddened by Alicia's passing. Shortly afterwards, Kyle, Sarah, Chris, Samantha, Morgan and Zeke cover themselves in bedsheets and mask themselves in the infected guts.
Morgan: This is so fucking disgusting.
Rachel: You wanna stay here and die, you be my guest.
Sarah: Enough. Both of you.
Samantha: Morgan....if we all stay here, we die.
Seth walks out of the room.
Seth: Mom?!
Samantha turns to notice the horrified look on Seth's face.
Samantha: Seth! Hey, baby!
Samantha runs over and touches Seth's face in a reassuring matter.
Samantha: Baby, listen to me, okay? It's not safe. We have to leave here or we die!
Seth: Mom, but the monsters—
Samantha: I know, baby, but you have to be strong for your mom, okay?
Seth: Mom, are you sure about this?
Samantha: Yes, honey, we have to go. We have to trust Kyle.
Savannah walks into the bedroom, then taps Rachel's shoulder. Savannah speaks in sign language.
Savannah: Rachel? What's going on?
Rachel speaks in sign language.
Rachel: We're going to get out of here. We're going to use the blanket of the infected guts to get by. They can see us, but they can't smell us. You stay by us, okay? We're not safe here. They're getting in, honey...and...and we're gonna have to make ourselves think we're them in order to get by them.
Savannah: (sign language) We're gonna die if we do that.
Rachel: No, we won't....we're going to be okay.
Sarah looks over the railing downstairs, looking at the pit of infected in the living room. She then turns back to the others.
Sarah: We have to go.
Samantha turns to Seth, taking her hand, then at Morgan, who is looking down.
Samantha: We're ready....
Morgan doesn't seem to hear Samantha.
Samantha: Morgan? Did you hear me?
Morgan: Hmm? Yeah...
Morgan raises her head.
Morgan: Okay...I'm coming.
Kyle, Sarah, Chris, Savannah, Rachel, Morgan, Seth and Samantha, now covered in the infected stained blanket, walk downstairs through the infected, without being attacked. Outside, James and Hunter climb a tree, spotting Cassandra on the tower. Outside the Burns house, Kyle, Rachel, Samantha, Seth, Savannah, Morgan and Sarah join hands and walk through the giant crowd of infected, with Seth looking the most fearful.
