It's missing the pit assembly.
- That muncher convoy we saw. Maybe that's what
they were doing. We gotta find that convoy.
- "Join The Partnership." - New Horizons.
It was on the wall in the transportation office.
- And the train schedule, too. They've been shipping people
out of the city. - Where?
- I don't know. But I can tell you one thing.
I bet it doesn't look exactly like this.
(engine stalling) (Ephraim): Come on.
(engine sputtering)
Shit.
(birds chirping)
Well, there's a town... just south of here.
Might be able to get a car
or at least siphon off some gas.
- Where is everyone?
(both chuckling)
- Yeah, I guess we're both a little on edge.
- Yeah.
What's so wrong about this place?
- I don't know.
Doesn't look like anybody put up a fight.
Huh.
No signal but there's some...

- You looking for something in particular or...
just being a creep?
- Maybe a clue to figure out what happened around here.
- 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.
- That was dated two weeks ago. Go to the one
from the day prior. - 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.
- Maybe she's still here?
- Emily!
- Yeah?
- It's almost curfew.
Come inside and pack. - Well Dad, I don't wanna go.
- I promise you're gonna 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? - Not really.
- This is her house.
Emily?
- You worried about strigoi?
- I'm worried about a strigoi Emily.

The safest thing for us to do is to be together.

We're running out of silos to hit. We can't win.
- They'll be outta here soon.
(snarling) - What the hell is that thing?
(snarling)
- A mongrel.
The Master's mongrels were baked on loam
and anointed with a worm exchange over two full moons.
- Obviously.
- A frontal assault at this point would decimate our ranks.
- You might be right.
With these munchers and mongrels,
and all those collaborators...
hitting them now would be suicidal.
- Finally, we agree on something.
- Yeah. We're gonna have to take 'em on the move.
So, they're clearly
taking the pits south on Route 5, but where?
Might be going to the salt mine down state
to dispose of 'em? - If we want to turn our nuke
into a functioning one, we're gonna have to steal a pit.
- From that convoy? I don't think so.
- Come on Ben, we can handle it. - The only thing we're getting
from this shit show is our asses handed to us.

They even made Rob Zombie nervous.

Hey.

- Don't test me.
- Look, I get it. You don't like people,
and most of them don't wanna 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.

But, much like veal...

You haven't eaten in days. - Not the meal.

You've won.
You can be like your own kind now.
- No.
I'm different.
I'm special.
Apart from all the others, the Master blessed with me
with free will.
He entrusted me
with implementing his vision of this world.
- What do you want from me?
- Abraham Setrakian.
Perhaps you can tell me his whereabouts
while you enjoy your meal...
or I can make a meal of you.
Then the Master will know everything.
(giggles)
- 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.
(door opens)
- Mr. Desai, check your records.
An old man between the ages of 70 and 100 had been processed
the same day she was. What happened to him?
- Right away, Mr. Eichhorst.
All right, I have, um, four B positive men
in his age range that were processed that day.
- Is one of them Setrakian?
- Um... - Is he alive?
- Okay, two of them were drained, one of them died
of pneumonia three weeks prior. - And the last one?
- Last one's in a bone marrow experiment.
- Where is he? - Um...
- Research Wing Seven.
- Seven.
I'll check for myself.
- Mr. Eichhorst?
What about her?
- Hold her until I verify it's Setrakian.
Then...
drain her.
- We're-we're actually in the middle of an experiment
on geriatric patients to-to expand
their viable blood production lifespan.
- I'm not interested in your experiments!
I'm looking for this old man with a tattoo:
A230385.

- Where is he? - He, uh, he's, uh... right...
here.
- (woman): Nurse?
Nurse?
(indistinct shouting in distance)
- Wake him.
Now.
- Bone marrow extraction's 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. - Either you wake him right now,
or I will make sure the next test subject will be...
Dr. Joseph Himoff.
- N-Nurse Cohen, 600 milligrams of Dextroamphetamine, please.
- Quinlan,
you in position?
- Yes.
The same position I was in 30 minutes ago.
- We've spotted the convoy.
It's headed your way.
(indistinct conversations)
- No.
- Do I sit here with a demon?
- Were you not sent by one? By the Master?
- No. My brother.
- Your brother sends you looking for demons?
- 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.
- My "order" is not one I'd wish any soul to join.
- If...
money or property is of no allure to you...
- You'd do this for your brother?
- Please. He suffers so.
- I am indeed a demon,
but my curse is my own. I have no gift,
dark or light, to give.
- I beseech you. Visit my brother,
if only to confirm his belief in the fantastic.
(coughing)
- Louisa, darling? (sighing)
Who is with you?
- Someone...
fantastic.
- 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!
- Syphilis.
The great pox.
- For a time I covered the guilty rash
and became quite artful with stage makeup,
but now...
...now it has his mind.
- Release him.
A draught of laudanum from Hu Die.
- 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...
- There are no others in all of London Town.
Of that I'm certain.
- Mother!
- Child, what is it?

I thought I saw a monster.

Yeah. Me, too.

Get a house like this.

Told us we weren't gonna 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.
- So you didn't actually see the farming community?

That truck pulled out, I rolled out the back,
took the back roads to here.
Been hiding out ever since.

Of our decades-long conflict.
Of Abraham Setrakian.

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.
- I will do nothing for you.

is so simple
and will ensure your suffering is brief.
I just need you
to admit one thing:
that your God
does not exist.
- For your sake,
you should hope that he does not.
- Oh, Abraham, I know he doesn't.
I just need to hear you say it.
- I'll see you...
in hell, Eichhorst.
- Yes.
But you are already there.
