the blood of our fathers.

And when that day comes,

he will bring them back

in peace and purity

will reign on the earth.

Forever!

Amen!

Amen!

What do you have to say

for yourself, sinner?

F*** you and f*** your God.

Well...

You can tell him that yourself.

You're about to meet him.

Welcome to the Valley of Them.

Last stop for the weak of faith.

Get him out here!

Ow!

Ah, look at them.

The children of salvation.

They come at my calling.

They feed on the unfaithful.

Shh.

They say hell is cold,

Hunter.

Don't let that flame burn out.

Get back, you bloodsuckers.

How's your head?

Mister.

I'm sorry.

Go down to the creek,

fill 'em up.

Bring 'em back.

Wait.

Hey, boy.

You can run if you want to.

Ain't nothing out there

but sundown and them.

You won't get far.

Mister taught me

how to read the stars.

I could make my way

back to the car,

get the weapons,

find them robe-wearin' crazies

and send them back to that God

they kept talking about.

I had to keep movin'.

Had to make the car

before night came.

Mister was gone.

And out here alone

I didn't stand a chance.

Shh.

How many of them

things out there?

One.

But she's really pissed off.

Make some noise.

Hey! In here!

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Come and get me!

Yeah, that's right, come on!

I'm in here!

Hey, I'm in here!

Heeeey!

Come on, baby,

come on, baby.

Martin.

I hate f***in' vampires.

The Brotherhood needs

your eyes, followers.

There are evildoers among us.

This enemy of America

walks with faith.

His name is Mister and he

is traveling with a young boy.

They are armed and dangerous.

What happened?

They were last seen heading

north to Lafayetteville.

If spotted,

dispatch of them immediately.

These actions will not

go unrewarded.

We're gonna leave in the morning.

We'll have to take a back road.

Brotherhood got the

rest locked down.

Let it go, boy.

Get over there.

You're gonna be crispy

in the mornin'.

Come on, Willy!

Give him a hand!

Whoa!

What have ya got for trade?

Antibiotics.

Some weed.

And these.

Goddamn.

That's a big one.

What about the boy?

I ain't got no soda pop.

Give him another glass.

You fellas look like

you've seen some trouble.

A little.

Vamps?

Holy rollers.

Yeah, well, we don't tolerate

religion or politics in here.

Where's the next lockdown?

Just over the mountains.

Past Lafayette Valley.

But that's Brotherhood territory.

They don't take too kindly

to strangers.

# ...I'll shiver the whole night through

# Her husband,

was a hardworking man

# Just about a mile from here

Thanks.

Been talk there was a hunter about.

Thought you was all dead by now.

Not yet.

# ...My girl, my girl, don't lie to me

# Tell me where

did you sleep last night.

# In the pines, in the pines,

where the sun never shines,

# I'd shiver the whole night through.

Thank you.

We got one more for ya.

Ready, boys?

# Maria please don't leave

me now I need ya

# I'm a wanted

# There's nowhere I can go

# My up's turned down

# My luck's spun round and left me

# No I didn't see it...

Her name was Belle.

Her story was no different

from anyone else's.

Home gone.

Family gone.

Oh, and she was pregnant.

But I guess life goes on.

She wanted to get to New Eden

before the baby came.

Hi.

Scamp!

In the attic!

Do it.

Stake the b*tch.

Stake the b*tch!

I let her go and

she'll eat your ass!

A Scamp.

That's what Mister

called the kid vamps.

She was just a kid.

And if not for Mister,

I might have become like that.

Out of the f***in' car!

Out of the f***in' car!

Get your hands on your head.

That's a nice shot, kid.

F***.

Hey, hey.

What the hell

happened to you, man?

F***in' Brotherhood

dumped me out of a truck.

For vamp bait.

This is their territory.

Let's get the f*** out of here.

I was in the Marines.

Got called back from the war

when it started.

What happened with the war?

No one left to fight it.

The Middle East is gone.

Vamp land.

How did you end up here?

We were deployed to

see to the evacuation to Canada.

Keep the peace.

But we couldn't contain it.

Most of their troops left,

tryin' to make it home to their families.

I guess you heard

the President's dead.

Which a**hole's president now?

Beats me.

Way I see it,

muthafuckas booked and left us

with our dick in our hands.

Baby don't you cry.

Papa's gonna make sure don't...

Please help!

No!

Please!

I need a doctor.

The baby's coming.

Where the hell

did you come from, girl?

I'm traveling with three men,

but they can't help me.

Where are they?

Right behind you.

You should have been an actress.

What are they doing?

They've been takin' out the

lockdown towns with captured vamps.

They crash the trucks into roadblocks

and let the vamps do their thing.

They even crached a few planes loaded up

with vamps into cities at the beginnin'.

That's what took down Washington.

Check the other one.

Howdy, Clem.

This your boy, Clem?

Sh*t!

Where's the woman?

B*tch run off.

We was just tryin'

to protect her.

Run!

Vamps could smell blood

from miles off.

Mister knew it.

And so did Jebedia Loven.

I could tell by

the look in his eye.

We were movin' north.

Away from The Brotherhood,

skirting the Adirondacks

Less towns, less people.

Hadn't seen any vamps yet.

Mister said it was too cold for

them up here in the mountains.

They were cold-blooded.

Like reptiles.

When we hit the lowlands,

they'd be back.

If you are

receiving this signal,

you are approaching

the Strivington border.

Under protection of the

United States volunteer militia.

All those seeking asylum

will be processed and

dealt with accordingly.

Weapons will be confiscated...

You get 'em back when you leave.

Mm-hmm.

Where you comin' from?

South.

Lafayetteville.

Any trouble with The Brotherhood?

Nothin' we couldn't handle.

They renamed

their town Strivington.

Said it all.

It gave me hope for people.

It gave me hope for New Eden.

Sometimes hope is all ya got.

And it was over, like that.

All that goodness.

Shattered by some Christian crazies

droppin' vamps from the sky.

We're gonna stay

right here till morning.

Fine by me.

How you doin', mama?

She's gone.

Tough old lady.

Climbed those stairs

and didn't say a word.

Damn Brotherhood sh*t-kickers.

Ten dead.

We've got things

under control now.

We'll have this place

up and runnin' in no time.

Sure you won't

stick around for a while?

We could use

a couple good men.

No.

We're headin' north.

Stick to the back roads.

They're the only way outta here.

Brotherhood owns the rest.

Good luck to you.

Thanks.

We'd come far.

We didn't know

what was waitin' for us.

But anything had to be

better than what we left behind.

At least I kept

telling myself that.

But when I close my eyes,

I kept seein' that

little girl's dead legs

stickin' out from under that tarp.

Ah, f***.

What is it?

F***in' radiator.

Can you fix it?

Not this time.

She's dead.

Everybody grab your sh*t.
