- Get down! -Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Get down!

-On the ground. -Okay, okay.

Where's the ambush?

There's no ambush. Just me. Just me.

Tell the lady to get out the car.

-Get her out! Get her out! -Okay, okay, okay.

-Take-- -Hands down.

It's okay, it's okay.

-We got a flat in the front. -Stand up.

-What? -Stand up.

-Stand up! -Okay, okay. Just...

Turn around.

-Turn around. -Okay. Just...

-What scam are you running? -We're not. We're not.

What kind of scam are you running?

We're not running a scam. Okay, take our food. It's fine.

-Move, move. -Listen.

Whoever's out there, reveal yourself

or I'll blow them away!

I swear I'll do it!

It's just us.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Good heavens, man.

You didn't tell me you had a boy.

Would you?

You terrified us. Seriously, we just a got a flat tire.

Just stripping the lug nut. I need help.

Sorry about that.

You're sorry about that?

Holy cow.

What's your name?

This is William.

It's William?

It's okay, honey.

Come on.

Okay, you warm?

You mind?

No, please help yourself.

Thank you.

So, you guys got all this way with no trouble?

There aren't many people here.

High desert.

You been holed up in your house this entire time 'til just now?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I made a run to the Penny Pincher

for canned food before the lights went out.

Filled up the wagon,

put it all on the credit card.

-Yeah.

We're headed south now.

Well...

you guys really shouldn't be out here with no protection.

It's rough.

Lucky for you, ran into a Navy SEAL,

not some dirtbag.

Where are you headed?

Uh...

South Valley.

Yeah, our church is a couple hundred miles that way,

set up real good down there.

How'd you know that?

Well, it's on the radio.

Autumn in the north and my destroying angel.

Shall loathe their homestead, Gomorrah.

My warriors, be thou faithful unto death,

and I will give thee the crown of life.

-Amen. -Amen!

Yeah, I know this guy.

We're heading there now.

A couple more days,

we will be in the land of milk and honey.

-Milk and honey? -Yeah.

Hmm.

Why don't you join us?

We got enough food to get us there. If you can, um...

you know, do security.

Do security. Hmm.

Very kind of you.

Might just do that. Little William's okay with it?

-Yeah. -Yeah, I think so, yeah.

Road trip.

Road trip.

I'm talking about the furthest ridge up there,

I want you two stationed there until I say otherwise.

Verticality, Joash.

It's what separates us from the snakes.

Up.

You're the son of the High Elder.

When you wallow in the muck,

you drag my office into the filth with you.

Do you understand?

-I wasn't wallowing. -Fetch my coat.

-Where are you going? -Home.

Home is 40 miles away. Were you going to walk there?

-You said to get your coat. -You have to think.

Joash, just like the rest of us. Think.

You said coat.

-And there's no coat. -You argue with me?

You feeble minded boy.

You arguing with me?

You said coat.

Fetch my jacket.

Excuse me, High Elder.

Uh, we've captured three raiders from the prison,

rapists, we believe, and a murderer.

I want them killed now.

Up on that ridge for the whole world to see.

And, sir, we've detained a woman

from the north, from High Elder Thayer's people.

-What? -High Elder Thayer.

Don't say that name again.

I am a High Elder, young man.

I am called of God, and so you blaspheme.

I apologize. I...

Stop talking.

Bring her to me,

and let her speak to no one.

No, it's a mistake.

You said that High Elder Thayer called me.

Well, he was wrong.

It's like when God called Abraham

-to put Isaac on the altar-- -Don't!

Don't bring up that story.

Abraham didn't have to sacrifice Isaac

because God stopped him.

-Dad... -This is not that.

What if it is?

Take the boys out, please?

Tish.

I've buried men out there.

I've watched good men bleed out on the ground.

I know what calling looks like, and this is not it.

Honey, you're my little girl.

I'm not a little girl anymore, Dad.

Well, you're my little girl,

and you always will be.

Dad...

I'm going.

With everything that we've lost,

how could God ask me to give up my daughter as well?

What if He does?

Well then I don't know Him.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, honey. I...

I just...

I don't know if I can do this, you know?

I don't know if I can protect you out there.

If this is Him,

then you won't have to.

Ladies, something we could have used days ago

a little hand to hand combat,

-multiple attacker scenario. - Okay.

Identify your target.

Create space.

Secure the arm and rotate the hips.

Okay. Bend.

Secure the arm and rotate the hips.

-Got it? -I gotta get faster.

Okay.

- A little faster. -Okay.

You gotta keep it moving. Step over.

All right. I want your pop over here.

-Watch it again. -Okay.

All right. So...

-So here, hips.

Jeff?

Where's Claire?

-She's sick? -No, no, she's just...

I had her do something for me. We started without her.

You okay?

Well...

The High Elder called for me a couple days ago.

He wants me to lead a Kindred army.

Where?

South Valley.

He said Burnham's taking control.

He's going to attack us.

So this is the plan.

We attack them before they attack us.

Yeah.

Said they've got stockpiles of food.

Okay.

And how do you see this working?

We need explosives or men.

We don't have either of those.

He said God called me to do this.

What I've learned is starving men are prone

to making up stories that aren't true.

Dad.

Hey.

Hi, Ms. Jenna.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Can we have some food? -Me too, I'm hungry.

Yeah, there's apples in the back of the OHV.

Thank you.

That's the last of the apples?

If Burnham them attacks us,

we won't survive it.

I need your help.

Just let me think about it.

Claire.

What are you doing?

I'm taking these to the orphanage.

-Claire, you can't steal food. -They're starving.

We're starving.

No, we're rationing. They're starving.

That's the last one. Don't take any more.

-Why weren't you at training? -I don't care about training.

People are relying on you.

I covered for you.

People down the hill were relying on you

when you shut down their trading post.

I didn't know Cain was gonna do that.

I promise you.

When are you gonna tell Cain about the orphanage?

-Not right now. -Why?

There's a right time for things,

-and then there's a wrong time. -You're stalling, Mom.

-I'm not stalling. -You are.

When Cain feels like something is a threat,

he seeks to eliminate the threat.

What does that mean?

Did you know exactly what happened to Christian?

-No. -Neither did I.

And I was walking the other day in the backwoods

and I...

I found a rope hanging from a tree.

I thought to look down and...

found Christian.

He's buried in the snow.

Just left there like a piece of trash.

Not even buried.

But...

Christian did betray us.

Forgiveness requires restraint.

Cain doesn't understand that.

That's why I can't tell him about the orphanage.

But we are doing a good thing with the orphanage.

He won't see it that way.

Okay, well the longer you wait to tell him,

the more it's gonna seem like betrayal to him.

I get that part. And that's why I'm going to God.

I'm waiting for God to take care of the orphanage.

I don't wanna talk about it. You know what? No, I'm over it.

I don't wanna talk about God.

What you're letting happen here.

It would break Dad's heart.

You okay, sweetie?

You okay?

Yeah.

No.

My brother left us so much.

And it's all gone.

The raid killed us.

I looked at everything two days ago

and I measured it out, we're still losing more.

Somebody's stealing from us, Jenna,

and it's killing us.

Maybe it's just our first winter,

we're figuring it out.

We don't have time to figure it out, Jenna.

We got two weeks.

Two weeks to what?

Two weeks of food.

It's gone.

I know where there's more food.

More food?

Down south.

The Kindred have asked Jeff to lead a military effort.

They're saying that the Southern Kindred

are hoarding corn and wheat.

And so the plan is to send Jeff

to take our military along with our good friends,

the Kindred,

and go down and stir up that hornet's nest, right?

Nathan Burnham is planning revenge on us.

He'll come here.

Across 60 miles of winter, across burning cities,

we're supposed to worry about that.

Fine, let him go. Send him.

Send Jeff on a brand new military crusade. Let him go.

It's not like they're doing anything anyway here.

Hired them to protect the homestead.

I don't even know where Evan is.

Jeff's never here. So, yes, absolutely go fight him.

Fewer mouths to feed,

but it doesn't solve the problem

of who is doing this to us.

Whoever is stealing from us,

Jenna, I was supposed to protect this

and I have failed.

I'm supposed to protect you. I'm supposed...

And I don't know what to do.

All I'm doing is failing.

Just take a breath.

And there's people out there, and they're hungry.

Or we can help.

Maybe we can lead with love and light.

And we could do it together.

I wish we could go back.

We can.

No.

We can't.

It's too late. Everything's changed.

Everything has changed.

End of the world has changed all of it.

Okay, and whoever's stealing from us

is going to die first.

How do we cleanse the north?

How do we cure them of their wickedness?

We must take strength from Benaiah,

descendant of Aaron and defender of King Solomon.

Lion-like men and the fiercest of all the gods that had known.

Ah, so freaking boring.

He's talking about battling the bad men.

I wanted to hear.

Your parents are turning you into a bible nerd.

Ever seen Braveheart?

What's Braveheart?

Named after William Wallace, little bro.

You should know.

So William was a Scottish dude

who took on the English king after they killed his wife.

Got a bunch of Scots together,

had these massive battles with these...

with these huge swords.

Before one of the fights,

he looked out amongst his men

and he said, "If you fight,

you might die.

They can kill us,

but they'll never take our freedom!"

Pretty cool, right?

Was a lot cooler in the movie?

I dubbed the Sir William.

William Dinkhauser.

Dinkhauser.

Alrighty then.

William Dinkhauser.

We will cleanse the north of the wicked men!

-Consuela. -Si senor.

Half rations on the soup.

And half rations on the bread, too. Everything.

Are you kidding? What is this?

Half rations.

From now to the end of the winter.

You got something to say about it, Mark?

-Because I really hope you do.

Listen, everybody, it has been a hard winter

and we are very low on everything.

From now on, you get half rations

or you get out.

Half rations for you too?

I'm gonna make this simple for you, Mark.

I'm going to make it simple for everybody.

If anybody here thinks you deserve a full ration,

you need to now work twice as hard.

I work about four times as hard as you do,

and I talk about half as much.

So I think you're pretty good.

The rest of you, some of you bigger guys

who work a full day,

if you think you work twice as hard as Mark here,

you know who you are. We know who you are.

Raise your hands. Raise them up.

Whoever does.

We know who you are.

Yes, see these hands.

They get full rations. All right.

Wives, too.

Their wives get it, too, right?

-Yeah. -Right.

All right.

You good, Mark?

Okay.

Mark's good, everybody.

Leave us.

Un-gag her.

Hi...

Tell me what you told my man.

I only said that in town

High Elder Thayer's holding meetings.

You saw him?

Yes.

He, uh...

Alive?

Yeah, but... I didn't.

Gag her.

-No, I have children. -Now.

I have children.

-Come here.

Take her into the woods far from here.

I want her quiet forever.

Take her to the woods.

-You understand me?

And shoot her to death.

Now! Joash.

And bury her where only the animals can find her.

Speed is security.

What does that mean?

Means to go as fast as you can.

Try not to stop. Don't mess around.

Evan's team's recon in the city right now, it's a death trap.

I want you to go wide

out west through the desert, then south over the mountains.

-Okay. -Okay.

Once you get there, find friendlies.

Convince them that Thayer is the true leader,

establish a fighting force,

and sabotage Burnham's ability to make war.

That's not what Thayer told me to do.

It's what's gonna keep you and your daughter alive.

The Lord will keep us alive, Mr. Erickson.

Do not get caught.

You understand?

They will execute you.

Are you gonna do what Thayer tells you to do?

Godspeed.

Evan needs you at Echo Squad.

You sure?

They need you more.

Pack your bag.

Dad

Dad!

Hey, uh...

I'm okay.

Uh...

I'll be back in a bit.

Georgie.

Come now.

It's gonna be okay.

Leave him alone.

Hi, Elder. Jeff is here.

Brother Erickson.

Good evening.

Please have a seat.

Have you given thought to your calling?

I have.

And...

You're sure Burnham's gonna attack?

I would wager

that Burnham feels like he was defeated

by you at the homestead.

But it's my simple existence

that keeps him from rightfully claiming High Elder.

He wants revenge from you, from me, from the homestead.

He wants to control it all.

How many men does he have?

Well, it's hard to say.

His radio reaches far and wide,

maybe hundreds, thousands,

are there or are heading that way.

Thousands.

Yes.

He's giving them food, safety, shelter.

These days,

I'd presume they would do anything he asks.

They have supplies.

The South was our breadbasket.

Plenty of food for the entire valley.

Our church's strategy

was to provide food from the South,

gasoline from the North,

but he's broken all of that.

If I do this,

I'll need your help.

Tell me what you need.

We'll give you whatever we have.

Explosives and men

as many as you can get.

Explosives?

I don't know.

But men will reach out to every congregation in our area.

There is one thing

that we can share.

There's something you must understand.

We knew the collapse was coming.

Ah, yeah.

Prophecy.

Yes, but, uh...

The US Government knew about the crash

years before it happened.

Not the how, but the what and the when.

They provided these binders

to a few leaders in each region.

Government, faith, business.

It's a plan.

A recovery plan.

Crops, water, medicine.

It's all in there.

Brother Eriksson,

the arm of the flesh is nothing

compared to the arm of God.

-Lie down, Sir.

Let's let him rest.

I'll walk you out.

You okay?

-God will provide.

So...

will you help us?

Will you lead our army?

Just give me a list, okay?

Whatever you need.

And please keep this to yourself.

Yeah, don't look at her. She ain't gonna save you.

Mama's boys don't survive in this world.

Come on, put it up.

There you go.

Too fast. Oh, you got me good, William?

I'm bleeding out.

Read me my last rites.

Die.

Okay, dinner's ready.

-You really think that's stew?

Haven't seen your puppy in a little while.

Carl, dinner.

Got you.

All right, okay.

I'll get you back in that sword fight.

-Smells good. -Thank you.

-Special recipe. -Mmm.

-Straight from the kitchen.

-Hey, biscuit.

-Biscuit.

Come on, come on, get down.

- Down, down, down. - No!

Stay that way.

-Help me! -You okay, buddy?

Keep breathing, keep breathing.

Keep pressure on the wound, Brenda.

I got you, boy.

-Come here. -Help me. I need help.

I got the boy, I got the boy! Come on.

Hey, hey, come on, get down.

Stay here.

No!

No!

No, no, no.

I'm sorry, buddy.

Stupid.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Fear not the things which thou suffer,

behold, we will strike down the Sodom in the north.

The mightiest of men,

Benaiah did not have a...

Bing Durante,

The Lord calls to you.

Pick up the sword of Benaiah.

And show the wicked the...
