- There's blood.

- Can't breathe.

I'm okay, I'm okay.

Where's your inhaler?

I lost it.

Oh, sh*t.

John Reese became one of them.

Isaac!

I'm walking to Wainwright.

It's 80 miles, there's no way to

get there.

- Go upstairs.

- Wilson.

Come on. We need to get out of here.

Bring your mother too.

- We'll die if we go out there.

- No.

I'll die if I stay here, that's what will happen.

Leave me alone.

What's he doing?

Just keep quiet.

- I'm sorry.

- It's alright.

Let's just go back upstairs.

Is there a bathroom?

Just open the valve afterwards.

Who would've thought we'd make it

this long, huh?

We're ahead of the curve.

Everyday they need more food,

they'll be back.

Dad?

Dad?

No noise.

- Wait, you can't just rush out there.

- He's my father!

No, wait!

Stella, you alright? What happened?

Isaac went to Wainwright.

Wilson went to find him.

How long have you been down here?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

We should've fought harder...

...kept Wilson here.

It's hard to stop someone,

when their family's at stake.

The things you'll do to save your home.

We were like that once.

Weren't we?

Let's go on.

It's snowing.

As soon as it's safe, we have to move.

Canned goods, Stella ?????

Uh, propane, and batteries.

Jake, better get supplies.

We meet back here in 2 minutes.

- Let's go.

My wife and I wouldn't live on these things

while she was gone.

I'm done playing with this one.

Do you wanna play with me now??

What?

She was just a girl.

You did the right thing.

It's okay.

Who was she?

Does anybody recognize her?

The white-out is over.

We can't stay here.

But the utilidorm's too far without cover.

Eben?

Can you make it to your station,

if someone created a diversion?

How?

These things can't survive the sun.

What if we brought the sun early?

Helen had that operation at home.

Yeah, she used an ultraviolet light

to grow the stuff.

We can run for her place,

let them follow me.

And hit them with the sunlamp, while

the rest of you beat it to the sheriff's station.

Just because something stopped

Bella Legosi, doesn't mean,

...it can stop these things.

Why would they send that

stranger to cut us off?

...into the light?

And what if it doesn't work?

It has to.

I'll do it.

- I'm the fastest.

- Bullshit!

I weigh less than you, and I

know grandma's house.

You've got a wife, people need you.

Jake.

I saw you in the back with the ax.

You think you're up to doing that

You don't think this plan will work.

Yeah, but you do.

I'm going.

See you at the station.

You'll need to start the genny first.

See you soon.

- Okay.

- Goodbye.

Hey...come on motherfuckers!!!

Come on!!

Come on Stella.

Are you there?

Yeah, yeah it worked.

But they're gonna cut off the power

so.....

Stella.

We got em.

Oh, it's good to hear your voice.

Don't wait for me.

Eben, run for Rogers Avenue, towards

the trencher.

It's my turn.

F*** off!

Open the barrel.

Top of the world.

You ain't gonna eat me.

Beau

and Doug.

Now there's 6 of us.

And then there will be just 5.

The little girl in the store.

Changed.

Just so thirsty now.

I couldn't tell you.

That photo is all I got left of my family.

Martha was taking the kids

to visit her mom.

They were hit....

...by a drunk driver.

Anna wanted to be with me so much.

I couldn't bring myself to do it.

But, I know they're waiting for me.

I can't live forever.

I can't.

Don't let me.

No Carter.

He told us what he wants.

Do you see that?

Yeah.

It's Billy.

Billy.

It's Peggy and the girls.

I heard the screams.

I didn't want them to die like the rest.

I was about to shoot myself too...

when the f***ing gun jammed.

I shouldn't have signaled you.

I just couldn't stand being on my own.

You have a family.

You don't ever hurt them!

You don't ever hurt them.

Maybe they tried the utilidorm.

Gail!

Gail!

No, Stella!

I'll meet you at the utilidorm.

No, Billy, stay there!

Eben!

Jake!

Stella?

Gail Robbins?

We don't know.

Stella, this is Eben, come in.

Stella, this is Eben, come in.

Chocolates, vitamins and vodka.

Stella, come in, this is Eben.

We should celebrate.

One day til sunrise.

You did good getting everybody here.

Eben.

Stella.

???? is walking around.

Just had to hear your voice.

Like you're there with me.

Where are you?

Are you okay?

???????

I'm freezing Eben.

I can see the car,

the rack on the right.

We're coming to get you.

There's way too many of them.

They'd kill us before we got to her.

We have to cut off or they'll hear you.

I'll call you back when it's safe.

The sun comes up tomorrow.

We're going to watch it together.

I'm so sorry baby.

I should never have left you.

The street's filling up with oil.

They broke into the pipeline.

They're burning down the town.

Nobody will know what happened.

They'll just think it was some

horrible accident.

Next time, they'll take out Point Hope,

Wainwright.

Wait, wait.

This building's strong.

Can't we just ride it out here?

They'll kill her if she runs.

She'll burn if she stays.

If you go out there, won't they come

after all of us?

Oh dear God.

When they're all watching me...

...get on the walkie talkie.

- And tell Stella to run for it.

- What are you talking about?

When John Reese and Carter changed....

they were only bitten, they stayed who

they were for a while.

We can't fight them the way that we are.

Thanks, little brother.

Take care of Stella for me.

- Are you f***ing crazy?

- That's somebody else's blood.

He's one of them.

- How do you know?

- He won't attack us.

- Maybe we should stop him now.

- Shut up.

Shut up!

Nobody touches him.

I can smell your blood.

You can't fight them all Eben.

Stella, it's Jake.

Get out of there now. Run!

Go!

What did you do to yourself?

What I had to.

Should I go after them?

It's almost dawn.

We made it.

The dawn.
