Previously on Age of the Living Dead.
You fired a missile into no-man's land.
We have an escaped criminal.
Is she dangerous?
To you, we are all dangerous.
Firing at our outpost?
This is an act of war.
They're still out there,
and somehow they've survived this long.
There is nothing we can do to help these people.
I am confident the formula is gonna work.
Time is a factor.
We're launching a preemptive missile strike.
What?
A preemptive strike, Sheena, tell them.
I didn't have a choice, Gerry.
Max, they'll all be killed!
You okay, you okay?
Adam, Adam!
Adam, step away from her.
Dad, she saved me.
It's true.
Saved you?
Adam that thing led them straight to us
whether she meant to or not.
Lucky with me, stay here.
We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go.
There you go.
You did good out there, okay?
You finish that off for me, all right?
Attention all personnel,
all medics are to report...
- Phil! - Yeah?
- How many? - 13.
- Safe? - Yeah.
Attention all personnel,
please be aware the UV system is offline
due to irreparable damage.
That's just fine.
I'm okay.
Adam, get Adam.
I would never leave you.
Marie?
We have to get out of the house.
I know, I'm right behind you.
Just go okay?
I'm not leaving you.
Leave our sun!
Marie!
- Adam? - Hey.
What happened?
- You... - Oh my god.
You shouldn't have done that!
That was dangerous, you could've taken too much.
It was either that or I watch you die.
Then you should've let me die.
Then who would protect me?
You don't know what I am.
What I'm capable of.
I know that without your strength,
a lot of people wouldn't be alive.
I'm gonna go back out there.
You should come with.
I'm staying here.
No show them you're not afraid.
Show them what you showed me.
What was that?
That you're not a monster.
You saved their lives.
They won't see it that way.
Well why don't we find out?
Attention all personnel.
Perimeter patrols will be doubled until further notice.
Team leaders please submit
new rosters to the base commander.
- Gerry. - Dad, wait.
Gerry, Gerry!
Get off me!
She's fine.
That didn't even hurt, did it?
When we bleed, it really does hurt.
You, you don't feel a goddamn thing.
She helped us.
Well shit, she was feasting on everyone else...
I didn't see you tearing up vamps with your goddamn hands.
Doesn't matter if she killed them,
the whole reason they were here
in the first place is for her.
Is that her fault?
Yes it's her fault!
Otherwise where does this blood belong, huh?
You tell me!
What are you looking at?
Get back to work!
I did not want this.
But you knew about the tracker, right?
You knew they'd come for you.
Yes, but I didn't think...
Of course you didn't think!
You're not able to think!
You're an animal!
Dad, come on!
Adam, now is not the time, okay?
Fact is, they came for you
and you're all they want.
I tried to save the people here.
I protected them.
Protected them?
Look around, sweetheart.
You didn't protect them all.
13!
13 lives lost because of you.
That's not fair.
Well there's very little fair
about who lives and dies here.
Adam, you're with me.
I can help.
Help?
Well thank you sweetheart, but the people of the Haven
don't need or want your help.
- Adam. - No, Dad.
I'm gonna stay here and help the wounded.
- I need you... - No!
You do what you gotta do, and I'll do the same.
Attention all personnel,
all personnel with blood type O negative
are to report to the medical unit immediately.
That's all personnel with blood type O negative...
If it wasn't for her, Gerry,
we would've lost a lot more men.
I know, but do me a favor.
You keep two guns trained on her at all times.
The minute she blinks in the wrong direction,
you take her down, because that 13 lives Phil,
it's just not worth it any more.
If she wanted us dead she would've done it already.
That's the spirit.
Hey, look at me, look at me.
You'll be all right.
How bad is it?
Bad.
They were on a mission to kill.
This wasn't a feeding?
Afraid not.
This, this was an assassination.
It was like...
They didn't want to leave any witnesses.
Yeah.
What about...
Oh she didn't hurt anyone, Gerry.
You're sure?
No one at all?
Nope.
She killed her own kind.
All of them.
Yeah I know.
I would think you would find that good news.
Not really, not actually.
Think about it.
Someone like her does that to her own kind,
what does she think of us?
I mean I have no idea whose side she's on.
I don't know, Gerry.
But a lot of us are alive because of her.
Keep me updated.
Attention all personnel.
All personnel with blood type O negative
are to report to the...
Yes?
- Marta! - Quiet!
Where is my daughter?
If you want an answer to this question,
I need to be alive to answer it.
More importantly, you need to be alive to listen.
No, no.
There is no need.
Marta?
We are fine.
Quite a grip, Marta.
I would hate to see how lethal you are
when you're in need of a feeding.
A peace offering?
I don't want a peace offering.
Of course.
Do you like it?
It's very beautiful.
Enough with the games, Marcus.
However did you get her to marry you?
She has so much fight in her.
Men like that.
Enough with the games, please Marcus.
Where are they?
I...
Obviously not good news.
We lost contact with the team.
The whole team?
Leave us.
Your expert team couldn't handle a teenager, Marcus?
It appears not.
What should we do?
We?
Yes, we.
She may be your daughter,
but she's one of us.
What affects her affects us all.
She must not be harmed.
If you were recently turned,
and had made such mistake,
the elders would have judged you.
You know I don't respond to threats well.
Perhaps we should just take a moment.
Yes, a moment.
A moment to contemplate why your daughter ran away.
Why she chose now to do it, and why,
finally, you've decided to hide this from us.
It was a family affair only!
Please, for the good of your daughter,
I find that very hard to believe.
We are capable of compassion.
What do you intend to do, Victor, protect her?
You and I both know
that I could have you both killed right where you stand.
Then why don't you?
Because, like the humans,
our relationship is a symbiotic one.
We need each other
as surely as the humans need
air.
What does that mean?
It means every relationship,
no matter how ancient,
beneficial, must end.
- We should... - Enjoy a drink, Marta!
I'm going to assemble the elders.
That's their position, Madam President.
They can't go any further?
I'm afraid not.
There's a nasty sandstorm on its way.
They're having to bed down for the night.
As far as the Haven, we still haven't heard anything.
No communication, or response of any kind.
What does that mean?
That they're dead, that the vampires got to them?
No, Marcus plays a shrewd hand,
but he doesn't have all the cards yet.
Isn't it a little dangerous
playing poker with people's lives?
What else can we do?
Where are we with the preparations?
Ahead of schedule.
We have seven tactical nuclear missiles prepared.
These are ready to launch at your sites in Nevada.
Will we launch them all?
No, we'll target four key sites on the east.
Two of those targets are military targets.
We'll also target Chicago and New York.
Will that be enough?
The key is to destabilize their control.
New York is where the elders are.
Where the ancient family of vampires are.
Remove their head, and we'll be able to
aggressively attack them with military action.
Vampires have a key structure,
a key way in which they work.
All action is controlled by the elders.
Without the elders, they'll go into chaos and panic.
We hope they will be.
Can't a vampire survive a nuclear attack?
Radioactive fallout, yes.
Obliteration from an explosion, no.
Dawn attack will also ensure maximum exposure to sunlight.
This will also help us in the cleanup
of any surviving vampires.
But the fallout on our own shores
is surely something we should factor.
There's no point in throwing
the baby out with the bathwater.
What does that mean?
He means what's the point in saving our home
if we're gonna spoil it with radioactive fallout
so that none of us can actually live here?
We should be safe.
Should?
This is our home.
We can do a lot better than should.
This debate is pointless.
The countdown has already begun.
Sears is right.
The wheels are already in motion.
What's next on the agenda?
The ground assault followup.
Look she's smarter than the doc
and she's stronger than me,
so I don't know who we're talking about here!
Are you listening to yourself right now?
- Oh come on! - Considering I'm...
Oh come on, are you even listening to yourselves?
Hey hey, hey hey hey!
What's going on?
We all think she should die.
Oh.
We?
- She's one of them. - We do not kill something
we don't understand.
She's not your typical vampire.
Gerry, look I have yet to see another like her.
I know, Doc.
But Lucky's right.
She could be a risk.
Phil?
I personally think she's an asset, sir.
And I'm inclined to agree.
Nobody's killing anybody tonight, Lucky, sorry.
All right, it's settled then.
She lives.
This is messed up, she's a killer!
We sleep down there.
This is not gonna happen, this is ridiculous.
You are dismissed, lieutenant.
Yes sir.
I got some work to get back to.
Gerry, you made the right decision.
Thanks Doc.
Hey go check on her, Doc.
She could of course be correct.
I don't see what other choice we have, Gerry.
I know.
Let's just remember not to leave Lucky
alone in a room with her.
You okay?
I'm fine.
It didn't hurt.
Yeah but it was still humiliating.
It's fine.
Look my dad he, ever since my mom...
It's fine, Adam.
He's just trying to look out for me.
Then let him.
Even if that means being separated from you?
What's it like?
What?
To live as...
As one of us?
It's not living, it's a nightmare.
You can always wake up from a nightmare.
Due to supply shortage, med kits will now...
I need a word with it.
She has a name, Dad.
After today, no she doesn't.
What do you want?
What would you say if I said
to wipe your species from the planet?
I wouldn't disagree.
Well that's the interesting thing, isn't it?
A vampire who kills her own kind.
I've never seen that before.
Well there's a first time for everything.
Who are you?
Nobody.
Oh, nobody.
Hear that?
A nobody they send a whole strike team to retrieve.
A nobody they send a drone to kill, rather than be captured.
- Doesn't matter. - Dad.
Stop lying to me.
Why don't you tell me who you are,
and I'll start believing some of the good things you say,
but you have to meet me halfway.
My name is Yvonne Karakova.
What, what does that mean?
The Korakovas are one of the core families.
Ancients.
Vampire purebloods.
Faster, stronger, much more lethal.
Is this true?
Purebloods.
Jesus.
Karakovas are the ones that drew up
the Bloody Sunday Agreement.
No wonder they want you back.
I'll leave.
I'll leave so that you can live.
Like hell you will.
Hell is what you'll see if they think I'm still alive.
They won't stop.
I cannot be your prisoner without inviting more death.
Well that's a good point, isn't it?
Because I've only ever seen one pureblood in my life,
and he killed 72 people
in the space of two hours, not a scratch.
Prisoner?
You were right, Phil.
She wasn't our prisoner.
She's only here because she wanted to be.
What were you doing, out there in the desert
where my son found you?
She was trying to warn us,
or die trying.
Is that true?
He's right.
I came to warn you.
Why?
Immortality with all that blood on your hands
too much for you?
It's not as simple as that.
Oh really?
How many people have you killed, huh?
Give me a number.
How many?
She hasn't killed anyone, Dad.
Oh please, how many people have you killed
before you got that moment of clarity?
Come on, nothing will shock me, not with you.
I don't want to live in a world filled with vampires,
where humans are hunted and killed for bloodsport.
They can't kill us, not all of us.
They need us, even if it is as livestock.
They don't.
Not anymore.
Attention all personnel,
please ensure all rifles...
What?
They've managed to synthesize hemoglobin cells.
What does that mean?
Blood.
They've learned to synthesize blood.
But that would mean that they...
They don't need us anymore.
How do you know that?
Because of who I am.
Because of my name.
That's why they want you back.
Yes.
Because knowledge is power.
It is, and now you have that knowledge.
We have to get word to LA.
Open up a line to the command center...
I can't, the radios were fried after...
Then we'll have to go to LA
to get the message there ourselves.
That's where I was running to.
You must escape this place, or fight.
There will be no more peace in our time.
They're coming for you all.
Phil, with me.
Fan of the classics?
Can't say that I am
Well do you know that story?
No, and that's not why I'm here.
Tell me what he did to my daughter.
It is an interesting story.
In ancient Greece, Pygmalion was disgusted
with the women of his small town,
so he vowed to never love them again.
Instead he dedicated his time to something else.
He sculpted the image of a perfect woman,
and he spent months
carving this image into the world's most beautiful woman,
and in the evenings he would sit
and talk to her as if it was his lover.
Bring it gifts, as if
it was his wife.
So, Aphrodite, the goddess of love,
she looked down on Pygmalion and saw his devotion
to this statue and gave it flesh
as a reward to Pygmalion.
Okay, so what happens?
That's where the story ends.
It's almost as if the gods can create miracles,
but they can't predict the future.
They gave it flesh and blood
and put breath into its body,
and let it out onto the earth.
Would she love the man who created her, huh?
Who knows?
Who knows, yes.
Some things are better left unfinished.
Quite true.
So, you're here about Yvonne, my finest work.
I beg your pardon?
Well I'm more of a mother to her than you are.
I mean surely you've seen, she is different.
You mean her eyes?
More than just her eyes.
She could walk the earth like them, in the sun.
What?
She was created right here in this lab.
At the point of turning,
we also injected her with UV proteins,
meaning that her vampire DNA
is infused with UV resistant protein.
She can't get burned by the sun.
Does she know?
Of course not.
Our plan was to develop a vaccine into all the vampires
so we could conquer our fear of sunlight.
So why did you stop?
Because it's unstable,
and eventually it may kill her.
So why wasn't I told?
Because you didn't need to know,
and you could take that up with your husband.
I will.
What kind of a mother loses her child?
Oh I'm sorry that I didn't have time
to congratulate you on your wedding to Victor.
Modern day Romeo and Juliet.
I'm sure you know that story.
Yes, I know he dies at the end.
And so does everyone who tries to help him.
Do you think it'll pass?
With our luck?
No.
Time to batten down the hatches.
What if more of them come?
We hope that sandstorm slows 'em down.
All right, let's lock it up.
Bring all the supplies inside, Lucky.
Hey you two, come on let's go.
Come on, I need you guys to get these bins
out of the way as soon as possible.
Let's go, I need you to hustle, come on!
Attention all personnel,
with immediate effect...
Uh sir?
All personnel are required
to double their personal ammunition...
What?
The others, they...
Out with it, Phil.
That is all.
What happened to Max?
He's not coming.
Why?
Because he picked his side.
Why would he do that?
I don't know, the promise of immortality, the coward.
There's gonna be more of them.
Guarantee it.
The drone, the strike team with orders to kill?
They're desperate to get her back.
She must be important.
We're the idiots protecting her now.
It's more complicated than that, though.
Hand to hand combat training...
I don't see why.
She kills her own kind.
How desperate would you be to get someone like that back?
Good point.
We have another problem.
What now?
We still have the tracker.
Oh bugger.
So what do you want to do?
We've been compromised.
The only thing we can do.
We have to abandon the Haven.
We should fall back to Camp Navajo in Arizona.
How far is that?
Well, once we get everybody up and ready to go,
six, eight hours?
We're not gonna be able to load all this gear.
Well we take what we can.
And leave the rest for them?
We leave the tracker here,
and then we wire the Haven with explosives.
Scupper the ship?
How do we set it off?
Motion sensors.
I like that.
Yeah, we'll wait for the storm to pass.
Wire it up, get everybody ready.
You got it.
Your move.
Advance the plan?
Why?
There is a potential leak of information.
For whom?
That is of little importance.
This council will tell you
the importance of the information you tell us.
The leak will be removed and dealt with.
Are you not certain that the humans
are aware of what we're planning?
That's correct, though I find it helps
to err on the side of caution.
To err is to be human, Marcus.
Has the sample been synthesized yet?
We are close.
We must be closer.
After centuries of hiding,
we chose to rise against the humans.
To wipe them from this world.
And we will!
Once the entire United States has fallen under our control,
we will turn our attention to the rest of the world.
You should not be so certain of your claim to this world.
The time of living in the shadow has passed.
It is our world now, as it should be.
Many of our kind perished
when we rose up against the humans.
But we now rule.
We rule half the country.
The rest of the world is very much under human control,
where we are now viewed as vermin.
Some say we had more strength in the shadows.
As monsters, as fairy tales?
We had no power living in the shadows,
simply feeding when we could,
desperately clinging onto human life to fit in?
No look... Quiet, Marcus!
Do not overstep your position.
If you wish one night
to sit on this council,
you will need to learn to respect it.
Of course.
The fact remains that humans are a hard breed.
The Russians destroyed their own country
rather than give it up.
A radioactive wasteland that has no...
With nothing to feed on.
To take this world, we must accept
that there will be losses on both sides.
The humans are strong.
They will fight.
I hope they do.
They taste better when their blood pumps faster.
Make your preparations.
Praying for anything specific?
Hoping he'll hear me about refugees to China.
We need them now.
How the world has changed.
How was your family?
They're good, sir.
Kids?
Learning to play the drums.
Excellent, I'm glad.
That was a pleasant moment, wasn't it?
Sir?
We got to have a conversation like normal people,
just for a moment.
We did, sir.
I sometimes listen to my security detail
discussing wives, girlfriends, kids.
It's been a very long time since I've gotten worried
about something as innocuous as the weather.
Sir, if I may?
Yes of course.
I wish I too could talk about
the weather with you, Prime Minister.
So, you made your way halfway across London
to get to me about something
that can't wait for the weekly briefing.
I'll assume you don't have good news.
That's an excellent assumption, sir.
Sir, I...
What is it?
What the hell are you doing?
Getting prepared to set off.
Set off?
Gonna reach LA.
Gerry, the sandstorm.
I know, it'll be all right.
No it's suicide.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
- I'm serious! - And so am I!
Phil, look.
We have no choice, okay?
We have to warn them.
And I need your help.
You're in charge 'til I get back.
With Lucky as second?
No.
No, Lucky locked my son in one of the holding cells
with a very hungry vampire the other day,
so I don't trust her anymore.
I'll deal with her.
Save the court-martials for later.
Right now we're on the ropes.
Right now we need every soldier.
What are you doing?
Adam, I don't have time for this right now.
Is he serious?
- I have to get to LA. - What were you gonna do?
You're just gonna leave?
Without saying a word?
You know what's out there.
- Son, understand... - Dad.
That sandstorm is lethal.
It's gonna eat you alive before you have time to think.
Phillip has already...
- Phillip's not your son. - I know what Phillip is!
This is Lieutenant Lucken.
Does anyone have eyes on the commander?
Copy, I have him here.
Go ahead.
You need to get down here to the south entrance.
We're on the way.
What now?
Open up!
This best be worth our time, Lucky.
Son of a bitch.
Should we let him in, sir?
No.
Sir.
He left you here to die.
He drew me away, don't forget that.
He made his bed, so he can lie in it.
Dad, he's human.
Well he doesn't want to be.
He wants to be something else.
That's not the point.
Hey kid.
What the hell are you doing here, freak?
Lieutenant Lucken, back off.
Thank you.
Don't thank him.
We've just all seen enough blood spilled
to last two lifetimes.
What happened?
One of our own.
That's not the problem.
The problem here is that the walking dead
are advancing across the desert
with the firm intention of wiping us out,
and somebody needs to tell the president.
Sir, that somebody can't be you.
If you go out into that storm, it's gonna kill you.
But it won't kill me.
Yeah, like we're gonna send her.
I don't need to breathe.
I can make it through the storm,
ensure the message gets delivered.
Yvonne, even if you get there
you're gonna get killed on sight.
But the message will get through.
I'll make sure of it.
You can't do that.
It's the only way.
You sure you won't be affected?
She's lying.
She'll run off, and if she comes back
it'll be with an army of bloodsuckers.
Lucky, head upstairs.
Try and figure out how long this storm is gonna last.
Yes sir.
All right, we'll send you when it thins.
Phil, let's plan a route for her.
What about your friend?
Yvonne, you shouldn't go out there.
I have no choice.
Your father's right, my people they will wipe you out.
All of you.
What about you?
What about the danger to you?
I just want to save you, Adam.
It's the only way.
You was trying to control me
like you tried to control our daughter!
Might I remind you,
you're not even her real mother?
Might I remind you, I did more to raise her
than the woman before me.
A freak of nature she may be,
but she's still our daughter.
Think I don't know that?
We can get her back from Marcus.
She doesn't know anything that's gonna jeopardize his plans.
Really?
What are you doing?
Watch this.
Mother.
Father.
Do you remember the housekeeper?
Doesn't matter, I don't suppose you do.
But ever since that moment,
I began to realize the suffering
that we were causing.
It's just like Yvonne to...
- I've always boasted... - Quiet.
Next step of the human evolution.
That we, that our place on the food chain
was at the very top.
I disagree.
We are an aberration.
An anomaly.
Perhaps we were created.
Perhaps we evolved.
But our purpose is clear.
To destroy the human population
like a virus.
Of all things.
And then I learned about the blood,
about the synthesized blood.
I realized your plan was not to co-exist with the humans,
but to wipe the earth instead.
I could not be part of that world.
I cannot be part of this world.
I'm sorry, truly.
What the hell is she getting on at?
There are easier ways to kill yourself, Victor.
She didn't have to go to no-man's land to kill herself.
What?
She didn't say she loved us.
So?
She went out there, perhaps to die.
Maybe to turn herself in.
The point is Victor,
she doesn't feel like she's part of this world anymore.
I see what you're saying.
Then say it.
There's nothing stopping her
from telling the humans everything.
Then what do you think Marcus will do to us
when he finds out?
You can't possibly know that.
I have intel that suggests the Americans
are planning a counteroffensive, sir.
Reliable?
For now.
With what?
Nuclear?
Possibly.
But we disarmed all the warheads.
It was his last noble act.
The warheads are still there, sir.
I see.
Any idea how many?
No sir.
It might only just be one missile, we just don't know.
Well.
One's sometimes enough, isn't it?
It can be.
Target?
Unknown, although I deem New York
to be the most likely target.
- Where they are. - Yes.
Dispatch Sephora.
- Sir. - Do it.
All due respect sir, Sephora's execution is difficult.
This might be fresh news for you, Matthew,
but it's actually something I've always known is coming.
I always knew the sins of our fathers
would be something we would have to recompense.
The equilibrium's always tipping.
10 years ago, we left them, our allies, to die.
We closed our borders, we closed our eyes and our ears
to things that we didn't want to see,
and we left them as collateral damage.
And we lied to the world about the survivors.
They're alone, they're desperate,
and desperate people do desperate things.
Especially for a chance at living.
So yes, Matthew, Sephora isn't perfect,
but it's a lifeline to an old friend,
and it's something we should give them
'cause all it takes for evil to walk all across this earth,
is for good men to do nothing.
