When it comes to those you love,
what lengths are you willing to go to protect them?
Well, it depends on how far the world pushes you.
Sometimes the world pushes you pretty far.
Not too shabby, T.
Enjoy the meatloaf they're serving tonight,
'cause you earned it.
How long do you expect me to keep doing this?
I get it.
I know it ain't fun,
but you're doing great work.
I help the Last Men.
They help me get my wife and kid back.
That was the deal.
Come on now, T!
You know I've been pushing them to find Louisa,
but you're not thinking through what's next.
Your kid's a hybrid.
They'll come after it sooner or later.
I'd like to see 'em try.
You could have a legacy here.
Think I give a shit?
You've been taking credit for everything I've done since I joined up.
Time for you to uphold your end of the deal.
All right. All right. I'll make some calls.
Last I heard, they had a promising lead.
I hope for your sake it's them.
What? No, no.
No, no! Come on! Come on! Come…
Goddamn it!
What the…
You gotta be shittin' me.
And when the world pushes you like that, you wonder…
…can you come back from it?
I'm not afraid of you.
So it's true.
Dr. Singh's little pet can talk.
I am not a pet.
No, you're right.
I stand corrected.
You're not a pet.
You see, pets can be taught obedience.
You're not obedient, are you?
No.
You gored one of my men and you tried running away.
Where did you think you were going?
Home.
That's a quaint idea.
Let me explain something to you.
It's just a matter of time before the whole world learns
hybrids are the key to the cure.
And when that happens, which it will,
it won't matter how fast or far you run,
no place will be safe.
Everyone will want a piece of you.
Let me ask you something.
Why do you fight so hard
to live in a world which clearly doesn't want you?
Maybe it's you the world doesn't want.
Okay, maybe you can talk.
But you lied when you said you're not afraid.
You're terrified.
And so you should be.
See, you're a fawn thrashing in its snare,
knowing the hunter's coming.
Stop fighting.
Easy does it.
Attaboy. You will learn not to fight.
Did you know us humans found useful pretty much every part of the deer?
Intestines, the hide, the tail…
Even the fat can be slowly boiled down
and rendered to tallow.
Waterproofs our boots.
-I learned that in the Army. -Stop!
You know, Dr. Singh, God bless him,
he found useful the little stem cells
you creatures have tucked away inside your bones.
You crack those open,
and ta-da!
We have a cure.
I'm sorry, Bambi.
I didn't make those rules.
I just follow the science.
Of course,
there's one part of the deer prized above all else.
Gus.
See? He always comes back.
Don't come any closer!
Don't look at me!
They took it.
Why would they do that to you?
To make us afraid.
You guys were right. I should've never trusted Dr. Singh.
He's gonna kill us all for one big experiment.
Did you know that I've read every sign here at the zoo?
There was one about the white-tailed deer.
It says that when a deer's antler falls off,
it grows back…
stronger.
Hey.
We're getting out of here.
And we're going to be stronger than ever.
Yeah.
Blood oxygen, respiratory levels holding steady.
All right.
Body temp.
Uh, 97.2.
Look at me, darling. Look at me.
Ah.
You look passable.
Oh. Rude.
How are you? I heard you practicing early this morning.
I just can't wait for all of this to be over.
I hate that Abbot's dragging you into this presentation of his.
And inviting me to watch is clearly a power play.
The hard part's over.
As long as we can walk out of here
with the cure.
Mmm.
Should we let the chickens go when we leave?
Yeah?
Adi?
-What is it? -It…
It… It can't be.
Does that mean…
Oh God!
I'll put some… of the new…
…sample here.
And then…
The cure didn't work.
What's happening?
God! Something must've changed overnight!
Ah!
Adi. Okay, it's okay.
Hey, look at me.
Ah, don't touch me! Don't!
Okay.
I'm sorry.
After all that,
it failed.
I failed.
You did everything you could.
But it wasn't enough.
It's okay.
I can be done.
I'm tired, Adi.
I can't keep waiting to live.
There must be something else we can do.
Abbot expects your support at the event today,
to convince the Group of Three he has the cure.
-Oh God. Abbot is going to kill us. -No. Don't you see?
If you tell the truth, that he never had the cure,
then everything, his whole house of cards, will come crashing down.
No, I can't undermine him in front of everyone.
Says who?
When those warlords find out,
they are going to eat him alive.
It's going to be absolute chaos.
That's when we leave.
This…
This is our chance.
If I give up on the cure, then you'll…
We will be free.
Dr. Singh to the main gate.
Dr. Singh, please report to the main gate.
Okay.
-Hey. -Yes…
I'll do the top button.
You can do this, Adi.
You have more power than you think.
Let's go.
Target confirmed.
One hybrid, possibly of the feline variety.
We can talk like normal people.
-No sign of the parents? -None.
-All I see is a tail. -Let me see those.
What do you see?
Might not be a hybrid after all.
Should we call it off?
No, we should go in.
We're here for hybrids, nothing else.
If I'm right about this, it'll be better than capturing a hybrid.
What's better than capturing a hybrid?
Something much less innocent.
Becky!
Bear?
Becky!
-We gotta stop her! She's Animal Army! -I got this! Call for back-up!
Copy.
Hey, bestie.
I always knew you were soft.
But joining the Last Men, that's a new low, even for you.
You don't get to decide what the lows are, not after your little coup!
What are you even doing here?
We heard there's something going down at Essex Zoo.
They're locking up hybrids there.
We just needed a Last Man to confirm our intel,
and here you are.
Your plan was to waltz right into the city?
You're no match for Abbot's army.
You're gonna get people killed!
That's the idea!
No, I mean Animal Army.
Rhino, Pony.
You.
We're soldiers, Bear.
No, we just thought we had to be.
You never answered why you're here.
I'm going to the zoo too.
Gus is one of the hybrids they're holding. I'm going to get him back.
Not if I stop you first.
I can't have you blowing our cover.
Oh, man.
Good thing I got here when I did.
Uh, Sergeant's on his way.
He's not gonna believe this.
Doctor.
Everything in order?
Yeah.
Excellent.
I can't afford to have any mistakes today.
What a delightful dinner we had last night.
-We must do it again. -Oh, yeah.
Stage fright?
I… I always preferred one-on-one with my patients
over… over giving talks.
Hmm.
Let me give you a little advice. I usually think of my audience as puppets,
and then I just pull the strings.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Do you hear what I hear?
That's destiny calling our names.
Congratulations, Abbot.
You've made yourself impossible to ignore.
I take it word of my little tour reached the lowlands.
Oh, you know it did.
You've always known how to work a crowd.
It warms my heart to know you've managed to put our little differences aside
and do what's best for your territory.
I prayed for you.
Ah! You must be Voss!
-I never had the privilege-- -So this is where you keep the Centauri.
Hybrids.
Yes, the extraterrestrial invaders.
Don't worry, Voss. My men have them under lock and key.
I thought your hostility towards the Centauri only angered them.
But then I heard about your cure.
Thanks to my rock-star scientist,
we are one step closer to passing it…
The unbelievers are dying in droves.
-But we will endure. - We will endure.
Yeah, we'll endure.
I'll hand it to ya, I didn't think you'd manage to get her attention.
Ah, there she is.
Like a rose in the desert.
Mrs. Zhang.
Oh, General, please! Call me Helen.
So nice to finally meet you in your zoo.
Hmm.
Well, thank you for accepting the invitation,
taking time away from your war with the Baron.
I'd hardly call that little skirmish a war.
Well, I'm not getting any younger.
You didn't invite us here to just hand out the cure, did you?
Ladies and gentlemen.
It's time to talk about our future.
It's time.
We've slowed him down. We've studied his every move.
This is our one chance.
We're done being prisoners in our own home.
Teddy, do you have the sunblock? You know what to do.
Once we're out of the Kennels, we head for the south gate.
First we have to get through the atrium.
Gus, we'll follow your lead through there.
Really?
You're sure about this?
-We're ready. -No.
This.
I trust him.
He's one of us.
Is everyone in?
Are you Ash?
Yep. And you are the hybrid catcher.
I gotta tell you, man.
It is crazy how many of those things--
Marlin said you might know where my family is.
Not exactly a conversationalist, are we?
Makes sense, though.
Spend enough time alone with those things and…
If you know where my family is, you better tell me right now!
Shit, man! Okay!
It's a rare thing these days,
getting answers.
What the hell is this?
Sorry for your loss, man.
The Big Man had given everything.
But somehow, he lost even more.
In the town where I grew up, there was a wooden bridge.
Rickety old thing, and rain, hail, snow ate away at it.
I kind of knew that one day it was going to collapse,
but nobody in town listened to little Dougie.
No.
Government built it, government knows best.
And eventually when it did collapse, it took two innocent men with it.
It's a funny thing.
People only start listening once someone dies.
Our illustrious Dr. Singh is going to paint a picture
of the most important bridge in our collective paths.
Doctor.
Right.
Uh, what if I told you someone in this audience right now
has the Sick?
In this, uh…
Oh God, uh…
…hypothetical scenario,
the Doomsday strain would kill half the people here by next week.
But not before those people transmitted the virus
to another dozen people each.
Okay, that's 80 deaths resulting directly from one single event.
The, um… The original virus killed
98% of the population.
As a physician, I… I witnessed this firsthand.
This new strain…
We are looking at…
99… and rising fast.
It finds us,
kills us.
It clearly can't be contained.
So, where is this goddamn cure?
Well, the truth is…
The truth is…
that the cure is our only way to beat this.
But we don't have enough of it.
It requires a somewhat…
unconventional ingredient that is--
Now, now. Thank you. Good job.
We're not here to reveal trade secrets.
Johnny!
This is Evergreen.
This is how we defeat the Sick.
Bro, you're up.
-Lunchtime, freaks! -Lu--
Lunchtime, freaks!
What the hell are you all up to now, huh?
The shit?
Lunchtime, freaks!
Now!
Dear God, no!
Oh, you're all gonna pay for this.
Looking for this?
-Yeah! -We did it!
What'd she say?
I think you can guess.
Come on, guys. Let's get out of here.
Follow Gus, one by one.
It was just a rumor in my early Army days,
this unfinished housing development long-forgotten.
Fifty-three lush acres with everything we'll ever need.
It's fortified with a 30-foot-high wall
to keep all unwanted elements on the other side.
Mrs. Zhang,
Voss,
Dutch,
I'm offering you a place in Evergreen,
alongside 150 of your best people, each.
A hundred and fifty?
And what about the rest?
I hate to break this to you, but it's too late for them.
Either we save a select few, or we all fall to the Sick.
You want us to pick and choose who survives?
Did you pay attention to the good doctor?
Either you choose, or the Sick will choose for you.
What's the price of entry?
As you can see, I have the infrastructure.
I have the personnel to maintain it. I have the cure.
But the truth is, I don't have the resources
to maintain a city of this magnitude in solitary confinement for up to a year,
which is what it will take. Am I right, Doctor?
That's correct.
Mrs. Zhang, you have mastered the art of agriculture in our post-Crumble world.
We will never know hunger.
Dutch, you have a river running alongside Evergreen.
We need fresh water.
Voss, you with your mills and your solar panels
and airy-fairy lights, we need electricity to power this puppy.
Food, energy, fresh water.
All those people drowned, and the Ark became Noah's salvation.
Evergreen is ours.
Hide! Hide! Hide!
Hide! Hide!
Hide! Come on! Hide!
…squabbling over petty resources…
-It's coming from the bus border. -Keep it down.
Or we can choose…
-Who do we have posted there? -No one at the moment.
-I beg of you to choose wisely. -Take a team.
No fuss.
I don't want trouble on the general's big day.
Humanity will be nothing more than a distant memory.
Griffith, Stewart, Grace, Foi, report to the motor pool.
-Trouble at the border. -Copy. On my way.
Teddy.
Teddy, come on.
Come on! Teddy!
Come on, Teddy!
Get the others out of here.
I'll find you.
Look!
Hey!
Wendy. We've gotta go now.
Gus told us to.
A hybrid escaped. That deer one.
Damn!
…through Evergreen,
we will be the seeds through which humanity flourishes again.
Whatever it takes, by any means necessary.
I don't like you, Abbot.
That doesn't mean you're wrong.
I'm in.
The Centauri have shown you the way.
Thanks to Evergreen, we will endure.
Yes, we will endure.
Mrs. Zhang? What do you say?
You can't do this.
The Centauri speaks.
No! No! The cure is made by killing us!
Stop!
I want to hear what it has to say.
My Pubba taught me… that if I saw a human, I should hide.
But I am done hiding!
You can't hurt any more of my friends.
Until I got here, I hadn't met anybody like me, until I met Wendy.
She's smart, strong, kind and brave.
She does not deserve to die.
Her brother Roy didn't deserve to die, and Peter didn't deserve to die!
They're the secret ingredient.
Oh, don't be deceived!
With one of these little mutants,
I can make enough of the cure for everyone in this room,
which is a price I don't mind paying.
Would you rather die to save this thing?
You tried to scare me.
But you're scared too.
The Sick is your enemy, not us!
Shut him up.
Hey, hey, come on!
Stop the car.
Stop the car!
Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang.
Both you and I know I won't be able to pull this off without you.
Mrs. Zhang!
Well, that was a disaster.
Helen. I know you have no qualms in killing hybrids for the cure.
If you're in, both Dutch and Voss will follow.
So what's it going to take?
Painting yourself as a savior to humanity. That is a bold move.
Preening, but that's your style.
One hundred.
I'll give you 100 additional spots in Evergreen.
I don't want 100 spots. I want all the spots.
Family is the most important thing in the world to me,
and I come with a big family.
I have to do right by them. You understand.
Still, without their resources, Evergreen does not happen.
And that is your plan's fatal flaw.
You are relying on two extremely ordinary men.
But I have them under control.
Control?
You couldn't even keep that hybrid in its cage.
Voss and Dutch don't have the stomach for this.
If their resources are what you want, I'll get them for you.
What are you saying?
We simply eliminate them.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Put the guns down!
I want to make a trade.
We got your signal. Who am I speaking to?
Someone who has intel on a threat to Abbot.
Gonna have to be more specific than that.
There's gonna be an attack on the zoo very soon
by the woman who used to run it.
Your source?
Up until a few hours ago, I was planning it with her.
You're one of the walk-ins from a few days ago.
What do you want?
A hybrid.
Just one.
The deer boy.
I won't negotiate with someone I can't see.
Not for something as valuable as a hybrid.
Hey! Hands where I can see 'em!
Tell me when the attack's happening, and I'll consider a deal.
Not until I've seen him with my own eyes.
I need to be sure he's still alive.
Why the deer boy?
He's my kid.
Check about the deer hybrid.
Nuh-uh.
What the…
-We got movement! -Eyes on!
Looks tight. Get ready.
What in the--
Uh-oh.
Big Man?
How did you know?
Gus…
That's one of ours.
Somebody bag that thing, now.
Go ahead, kid! Go! Get out of here!
Don't shoot! We need him alive!
You supported Abbot's lie.
I know I can fix this.
-The cure didn't work. -You might not believe in it, but I do.
I'm not about to give up just before the finish line.
I just need the right ingredients, stem cells--
Hey, listen to me.
Even if there is a cure…
…I don't want it.
Not if it means killing hybrid children!
I did this because you asked me to!
I know, and I was wrong.
I thought this would give us a future, but all it did was pull you away from me!
I'm trying to save you.
Then why do I feel like this isn't about me anymore?
I warned you I'd go numb if I kept going.
And I'm saying you don't have to do that anymore.
I want to go back to the old us.
There is no going back.
Take my wife back to her room, please.
Adi.
Adi!
Lock down all areas. Secure the perimeter.
Report any signs of hybrid activity to command immediately.
Sir, the, um… deer boy is still on the loose.
And the other hybrids are gone too.
I pried victory from the jaws of defeat today.
I would have liked to celebrate…
with my brother.
Instead, I see him helping one of these mongrels escape.
I'm thinking that's my own brother working against me.
What have I done to you, John?
Why in the name of humanity would you do such a thing to me?
Because they're kids.
What?
They're kids, Dougie.
What would Mom say if she was still alive?
Hey, over here! He went this way!
Hey, Jimmy! He went this way!
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
-I'm not afraid. -Hey.
Sweet Tooth.
Big Man. What are you doing here?
I'm rescuing you.
Uh, how did… how did you--
What the hell happened to your antlers?
They took it.
Come here.
I missed you.
Yeah, I missed you too.
