It'd been months since a nuclear bomb

had sent the United States of America into the abyss.

Enemies both foreign and domestic jumped on our weakness.

They sabotaged our grid, they poisoned our minds.

But there were still a few who believed in what our country stood for.

God, freedom, and family.

Ah, uh, uh,

He's not here yet, but he's coming.

How are we doing?

-They're getting close. -They're getting close.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -That's good.

Let's, let's go to the bed.

Breath is your friend. Okay. Yeah, turn around.

Another pillow. Hold on.

Oh, okay, take a breath.

-Hey, Jenna. -Yeah.

This baby is coming soon.

Just— okay, all right, Grace, come here.

Just be here with her. I'm going to go get the doctor now.

-Hmm,....you'll be back. -Okay.

I will.

Hi, Grace.

Oh— uh— ugh!

What do you see?

I see a lot of snow.

When will Uncle Evan be back?

3, 4 days.

I miss Abe and Mom.

Me too.

Do you think that they're still with us?

This is the last of the corn.

-She's close...Yeah, she's close. -Oh, she's close.

Gloria a Dios. I'm going to go see her.

-Mom.-Yeah.

The orphanage is completely out of food.

I know. Okay, just come with me.

They missed breakfast.

The babies haven't eaten this morning.

Some of the moms are too sick to breastfeed, so,

uh, I don't know what we're gonna do.

Just keep your voice down. I think they're gonna hear you.

They're just gonna keep getting sicker and sicker.

Kane and the committee are still 100%—

I don't care about the committee, Mom. They're babies.

Okay, we're doing as much as we can do. I, I don't—

No, we're not doing enough.

Oh, okay. Let's focus on Jack right now, and then I promise you we will—

we'll figure this out. We'll figure it out.

Please, can you go get the doctor and bring him to Jack's cabin?

Thank you.

You get it?

Mm-hmm.

Nicole, look at this.

See this little guy here? Look right here.

That's our problem right there.

Gun'll fire, but you'll blow case every third round.

End up picking brass out of your face.

Headspace is off.

That's right. Headspace is off.

Who taught you so much about guns?

My dad, my mom, before—

Hmm. It's very impressive.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

I do have one question.

What's that?

Don't you have any better music?

What are you talking about? That is very good music, okay?

That is classic country right there.

I thought classic meant old.

Yeah, I suppose it does.

All right, that's enough out of you.

I want you to go get the, uh, armorer's wrench for me, okay?

It's down the hall, uh, all the way down to the right.

Okay. On the bench.

It's green and it's flat!

I know!

How's it going over there, Tick?

Uh, it's still cold. Locals are getting restless though.

Copy that. Erikkson out.

Hey, hey, trading post is closed!

Hey! Huh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You don't got to do this.

Ah, I'm starving.

Jeff, we got multiple hostiles coming in.

Pray with fire. I'll repeat, pray with fire.

What is it, Dad?

Prayer fire, prayer fire. All units to Homestead defense immediately. Hmm.

Keep breathing. Uh, that's our way through.

-We breathe. -Hmm.

I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, okay?

Hey, gimmie, gimmie.

Help!

Find it!

Nicole!

Hmm. Take the bolts down there— let's go!

Uh... oh... hmm... no... yeah... uh... ugh...

Ugh. Hm. Ahhh!

Claire!

Use it if you have to.

Jeff, go!

I'll stay with the kids.

Dad.

I love you.

Dad!

it's okay, he's going to be okay. M—

Check your fire, too many friendlies.

1, 2, 3. Come on.

Ah, ah, the doctor!

Okay, okay, Grace, make sure the door's locked.

It's coming, it's coming!

I know, here we go, we're going to do this, we're going— all right,

just look at me, look at me, it's okay, it's okay.

Claire!

Uh, Jimmy, you okay?

Jimmy?

Someone's coming. Get ready.

Oh, jeez.

Claire! On me!

Rick, get my back!

Huh, where's everybody's guns?

We can't shoot, there's too many friendlies.

Yeah, I think they're running away.

I think I hit him. The vault's still open.

Rush him on 3.

1, 2...

Nicole?

You okay, sweetie?

Kane.

No! Wake up— wake up—

wake up— wake up— wake up— oh....

Again, we had been attacked,

but it was neither greed nor lust for power

nor war that came against us.

It was famine.

Ugh,

Push! There we go.

Come on, one more time.

Famine and plague shook our unity.

It shattered our hope.

The third horseman of the apocalypse on his dark horse, driving all before him.

It drove sane men to desperate violence.

It hung over our sons and our daughters.

Famine would drive us now into the pale veins of cold Winter—

into the stiff arms of death.

Jeff!

I can feel his heartbeat.

Oh, thank God, thank God.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff!

Uh, Georgie and Leif?

Yeah, yeah, they're, they're okay. They're, they're with Consuela.

Ugh, you have to pull that out.

What? Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

All right, Jeff, uh, um, I'm going to pull this out on the count of 3, okay?

-1— -huh, ugh.

-Hey, hey, -SitRep...

They're gone.

Hey, you shouldn't get up. You don't look too good.

Tell it to that guy.

Ugh. What did they take from us?

I don't know, bunch of food. Didn't see what else they got.

They didn't get into the vault. We didn't lose any guns.

All I saw was them running with a lot of food.

Daddy!

Oh...

All right.

Are you okay, Dad?

Yeah.

You know who she looks like?

You look like your daddy.

-Let me get you a towel. -Oh...

Claire, you're bleeding.

Mom, I'm, I'm good, I'm good.

They're gone, we're okay.

Who's they?

I don't know.

How did they even get in here?

We think that they came in through the forest on the east side.

Were there casualties?

Yeah, a lot.

Okay. Ugh. Hmm. Um—

Do you want to meet the newest member of the Homestead?

Um, I, I have to go help.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Sir, we repelled the attack. They didn't make it to the vault.

They made off with all the food they could carry.

Yeah, they got a lot.

Oh, that needs a bandage. Whoa, whoa.

Hey, let's get you to med bay, huh?

I'm fine.

Okay.

I don't think we can handle another one of these attacks.

We need help.

Evan's team will be back soon.

No, we could We need more than that. We need the Kindred Church.

Kindred?

The church that almost attacked us? That church?

That was— that was Father Burnham.

It wasn't the church. They reached out.

I think you should talk to them.

We got to mop this up first.

-Hi.-Hi.

You okay?

Yeah, are you?

Yeah.

Good.

What were our losses?

We lost a few, uh, mostly on their side.

Jack had her baby, healthy.

No, not people, food.

What were our food losses?

Well, I'm still waiting on the numbers,

some of them. I did check the wheat.

It's down considerably, and they— they got all the beans.

The beans are supposed to last until May. It's only January. There's no way we're—

What's on your hands?

It's nothing.

Uh, who hit us? Was it Kindred?

No, uh, we don't know. Just the hungry people.

Hungry people.

We made ourselves a light on the hill.

They saw the damn light.

Jenna, uh, you don't want to hear this.

We're gonna have to shut down your trading post.

-No, we're not. -Yes.

No, we're not. We still have bread and there is some wheat.

I'll go and double-check it to make sure.

And we need the work. We can't—

Jenna, the price of bread just went up, all right?

There's nobody out there worth a loaf.

It's our lifeline.

Yeah, we have too many mouths to feed.

We're gonna have to kick some people off.

I know you don't want to do that. I know you don't want to hear that, but we do.

These people are like our family.

Well, there's like family and there's family.

And how do you think you're gonna do this?

I'll figure it out.

No. Kane, you do not kick anyone out of here without my say-so.

Boy or girl?

-What?-Jac,

She have a boy or a girl?

She had a, a girl.

Okay.

That's good.

Over here, bring that table up.

Somebody help him up.

The medics are right over here.

Oh, that's flat. Okay.

We have a sink inside.

Okay, are you hurt?

Okay, over there. Medic will be here.

I think we have 2 more.

Lift that up, please.

Claire.

What?

What are we doing?

What do you mean?

They're not homesteaders.

That doesn't matter! They just attacked us, okay? They're zombies—

You don't have to call them that...

Good teamwork guys!

What are you doing?

We're pulling out of here for good.

What about food? What about the trade?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

They attacked us, stole our food. It's what they get.

I thought you were supposed to be born again.

How can you possibly think that this is right?

Yeah, I'm still trying to understand what that means in this broken world.

Besides, it doesn't matter what I think.

Claire, they let me stay even after fighting with Raven Rock.

Well, the least that you can do is, is leave them something.

It's not my orders. Talk to your uncle.

When my mom finds out about this, she's gonna make sure that—

Your mom already knows.

She's good with it.

We gotta go. Come on.

No, I have to stay and help.

Claire, what are you doing?

Fine. I can't be a part of this, all right? I'll come pick you up.

There's no way she would agree to this.

Where is she?

Someone bring me my baby!

Okay, okay. Hey, hey, I'm coming. Hold on.

-Who's your baby? -Where is she? Where is she?

When's the last time you saw her? Where was she?

I don't know.

You don't know where she went?

No, I had her. I had her.

Okay. All right, we're gonna find her, okay?

What's your name?

Beth.

Okay, okay, Beth. What's your baby's name?

Her name's Sarah.

Okay, we're gonna find Sarah, okay?

Let's, let's look at your leg.

uh, can you find me a splint for her leg, please?

Give me a hand here. I'm on this truck. Hmm.

Aren't the Kindred Burnham's people?

No. The attack against us split the church in two.

Then what are we doing here?

I don't know. High Elder Thayer asked for me by name.

He said it was urgent.

I, I think this is what God wants.

Elder Thayer.

Rick.

Deacon Warburg. This is, uh, Jeff Erickkson.

-Pleasure. -Nice to meet you.

Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.

I apologize for not making your acquaintance sooner.

What I'm going to say to you is going to sound strange, but—

there is no other way but just to say it.

We believe the Lord has given us wisdom

regarding certain men who have betrayed us,

who plan to attack our people, attack the Homestead.

I am humbly asking you to lead a force against those men in our church who—

Yes. I believe it'll be of great benefit to you,

your family, your friends, for us to open trade with the valley south of here,

which is currently under blockade.

I don't understand.

It is this blockade that is causing the famine.

I understand the Ross homestead also is running out of food.

It is Nathan Burnham who has split our church in two.

Burnham has caused a schism,

North and South.

And the South Valley farmers

were in the middle of a harvest when the power went out.

And then the train stopped running.

But the corn, the grain, the oats, the hay— it's all still there.

All of it. Stored away.

There's plenty enough for everyone.

But this— Blockade. Burnham's blockade is a great evil.

Rick, what I'm going to ask you is going to be hard.

Your daughter must go south.

If there's any chance to avoid bloodshed, she will be the one.

What?

I mean, that's ridiculous. She's— she's just a kid.

I know. Both you and she will sow seeds of truth there in South Valley.

Elder, she's— she's 15 years old, and it's the Wild West out there.

She will bring the truth, or Mr. Erickkson will be forced to bring the sword.

Send me, you know? Let Tish stay here at the Homestead, and I'll go. I'll go alone.

Both of you are called.

Both of you.

To bring the Lord's truth, to bring reconciliation to the South.

I strongly believe the Lord wants you to open Nathan Burnham's hand

and free the South to trade.

The Lord wants me to—

Yes, he does.

How did Burnham get that kind of power?

That is what we must do

to the wicked of the North with its Judases, its drug dealers,

its murderers.

And then shall we rise up in their ashes and crush their charred skulls

beneath our boots.

Crush these sons of Belial,

these wicked fools.

And the Lord shall burn them like chaff.

That valley of criminals to the north, and their so-called Homestead will burn.

Come south, good kindred.

Come into the Lord's fold.

Join us here in the land of milk and honey.

Stand with the army of justice, and we shall cleanse the city

of evil and restore what has been promised to us.

Amen! Amen!

Brothers and saints, My closest cohorts.

Why me?

Why do I stand before you now, calling for action,

calling for vengeance?

Well, vengeance is mine. Says the Lord!

The Lord puts to use men such as me, such as you,

such as all of us, to bring his righteous fury.

We will defend our church against— this Homestead,

this nest of liars and killers.

We will take possession of the gasoline that has been promised us by the North.

We will stomp out the criminals who cross our border,

and so shall we draw our church back from the edge of apostasy

and black dealings with these apostates.

Yeah. Amen. Amen.

Makes sense.

How?

Obviously, he knows about my past.

Burnham's got a farmer army that needs to be gut-checked, then I'm your guy.

Okay, okay, so you think that,

that God is calling you to what, kick butt, take names?

That's what you got out of that?

Yeah.

Okay, then why did Elder Thayer call my 15-year-old daughter?

Make that make sense for me.

Sorry—

Listen, God knows I can't be you.

I'll take care of them.

Try to do it your way.

Testament style, right?

I don't think I can do this all alone.

You're not gonna have to.

Hasn't there been enough death?

Yeah.

Now there has.

Nicole!

Hey.

Alongside the Horseman Famine

rode the Pale Horse Pestilence,

wielding his deadly bow.

His arrows would pierce my heart most deeply.

Of all the scourges of that age,

this plague would lay us lowest of all.

Ah!

[solemn music]

[solemn music continues]

Ah!
