Stake Land

Call me Martin.

I've seen things

you wouldn't believe.

Things a boy shouldn't see.

But... I'm not a normal

boy anymore.

And it ain't a normal world.

Get used to it.

That's what Mister tells me.

We live by his rules

or we die.

Or worse.

We die and we come back.

But let's begin at the beginning.

I was like any other kid,

I had a family.

I went to school,

I didn't believe in the boogey man.

But then the world

woke up to a nightmare.

...Stay in your homes

and not to travel by night.

Route 22...

Maybe we should wait.

We'll take the back roads,

you'll be safer there.

No. Martin, come back!

Hey!

Martin!

Cooper!

Cooper!

Cooper...

Cooper...

Cooper!

Martin, run!

Mom!

Shh! Shh!

You wanna live boy,

you listen to me.

You scream,

I'll break your neck.

They're dead!

There's nothing to be done

about it but kill that thing.

Can you shoot?

You shoot me

I'll f***in' kill you!

...A 24 hour hotline

for missing persons

attributed to the outbreak

has been set up on

a county by county basis.

Phone lines in all areas

have been flooded in.

Officials ask for patients as

recovery teams are doing

all they can to maintain order

on the east coast...

...I repeat, do not venture outside

after sundown.

Stay in your homes and

lock the doors and windows...

Get a f***in' hammer!

I only got two hands, boy.

Do it!

Save him...

One day you'll learn

not to dream at all.

Get your sh*t.

Welcome to Stake Land, kid.

Months passed

in a blur of days and nights.

We traveled east and west,

but always north.

Away from death.

We avoided the cities.

Mister said they were the worst,

hit the hardest in the beginning.

As people flocked together

for safety,

the plague marched through

their locked gates

and they became death traps.

When Washington fell, it was over

for America as we knew her.

As government blew away,

our great leaders ran for it.

And hope was abandoned.

We were on our own now.

Me and Mister.

Traveling through a ruined land.

Pockets of civilization survived.

Towns locked down behind fences

and guns holding the night away.

Cults spread like wildfire

across the southern states.

Waitin' for the messiah,

but he never came.

Death came instead.

And it came with teeth.

Dumb f*** got himself trapped.

Burnt up in the sun.

Berserker.

It's the oldest of the vamps.

Can't stake 'em in the chest.

Got a breast bone like iron.

Gotta get 'em in the

base of the skull.

Vamps...

function from the reptile brain.

It's like pullin' the

plug on a computer.

We were all orphans.

Just lookin' for something

to hold on to.

He's a Mister.

Maybe that's why

he keeps me with him.

What's that?

Garlic oil.

Does that really work?

Don't hurt.

One strike boy.

Make it true.

Where you boys comin' from?

South.

Get outta the car.

Did you get any?

They alright boys, let 'em roll.

Another town,

another lockdown.

People just tryin' to go on.

Hopin' they'd wake up

and it would all be a bad dream.

They could go back to their lives,

families and careers.

He needs more fresh food.

And some vitamins,

if you can find them.

Where's his folks?

Dead.

He'd be better of here.

With people.

Other children.

What do I owe you?

I could use all of them.

Good.

Hey.

Got any liquor in this town?

Jake's.

Homemade, mostly.

We got some tap beer.

Little sour,

but it wont kill ya.

Boy needs a haircut.

Sheriff said take whatever you need.

It's on me.

Have you been through Haggerstown?

I had family there.

Vamped out,

everything south of here.

Rea?

He really kills 'em, huh?

You gotta get 'em in the heart.

Pierce the breast plate.

Guns hurt 'em but unless you

sever the spine they keep comin'.

You got any gum?

Yes.

Cool.

Ah, just...

So who are you?

His helper.

Where are you, uhh... where are

you guys headin'?

North.

Uh, Mister says less population,

less bloodsuckers.

Wait, wait, wait...

Not New Eden right?

We had a fella,

he came through here.

He said there's nothing there,

there's no food at all.

He said it's not the Vamps

ya need to worry about...

it's the cannibals.

Thanks.

Sometimes I think I could

stay in a place like this.

Make friends,

live in the daylight.

Just be a kid.

But the truth is

I don't feel safe around people.

They can think what they want

but New Eden was real.

It was the answer to all of this

and we were gonna find it.

Fight our way north,

make the open territories.

Like Mister says.

'Live free or die tryin'.

F*** the cannibals.

What's her name?

I didn't ask.

Why did this happen?

How can God let this happen?

How can this be his love...

Oh... oh, God!

Oh... oh, God!

It's okay, lady.

- No! No!

- Shh. Shh.

It's okay!

- No! No!

- It's alright!

No!

It's okay. It's okay.

it's okay, it's okay.

Mister,

where'd all that

hate come from?

I never asked.

Those men that...

They said they were Christians.

We don't do history.

Doesn't do anybody any good.

Grab them traps, boy.

Give me a finger.

Time to go fishin'.

Get the long pole.

Sister Agitha.

We thought she was dead.

She is.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna kill that thing.

Go with God.

Lock the door.

Newbie.

Shouldn't be too hard.

Too fat, I can't break the spine.

You missed the heart ya,

dumb sh*t.

F***in' vamps!

Stop it!

Mister dug a grave.

I think he felt bad

for the sister.

He did pull the fangs out, but...

he waited till she went

to pick the flowers.

How many of those things

have you killed?

Not enough.

And people?

Those two men?

In my book,

rapists got no place to live.

It's not ours to judge.

Then don't.

Next lockdown,

we drop you off.

You go save some souls.

And what about him?

He's just a boy.

Yeah.

A live one.

But we never dropped her off.

Where was she gonna go?

Satan's soldiers

march the night,

but God has not abandoned us.

Those who believe in him

shall never fall.

Jesus and the angels are

coming and judgment is upon us

and the Christian Army of Aryans

are here to fight for you.

And have created a safe refuge

for the holy among us.

Join us brothers and sisters,

Lafayette Valley welcomes

the righteous and the pure.

Together we shall lead

the world back to the light.

And the right,

the America God loves.

In desperate times,

false gods abound.

People put their faith in the loudest

preacher and hope they're right.

But sometimes they're wrong.

Dead wrong.

My name is Jebedia Loven.

And you killed two of my men.

In cold blood.

Staked one in the back.

He was my son.

My own boy.

He was only sixteen.

He cried for his mother for

three hours before he died.

God rest his soul.

Now you a fine lookin'

young buck.

That's your father?

My father's dead.

Oh, don't you worry.

We'll get you some religion.

Bring you to God

and the right way.

Good stock.

You'll still serve.

As for you, Mister.

Oh, yeah.

We know who you are.

You kill them that come back,

them that serve us,

them that God brought down

to do his work.

Leavin' us to purify
