One week in the woods and

we were becoming different people.

Small talk stopped.

We worked as a pack,

each to his task.

It was cold here in the hot passes,

but we hadn't seen any vamps.

The forest cast

a kind of magic over us.

Away from people.

I stopped thinking

about the past.

And about my family.

I had found a new one.

You think we'll make it?

I'm just worried about the girl.

She's slowin' us down.

There's no wind.

Berserkers.

Run!

Come on!

We gotta run now, lets go.

Move!

She's comin'!

No, no, no!

What are you doin'?!

What are you doin'?!

We gotta go!

Keep movin'!

- Please, Please. We gotta move.

- I need one second!

Sister?

I got you, I got you.

Just a little bit further.

Come on, keep moving.

She's comin'!

Keep going.

Come on, we gotta go.

We gotta go faster.

Come on, you f***ers.

The Lord is my strength.

My Lord is my...

Father,

forgive me.

Martin, let's go.

I don't think she's coming, Martin.

Come on.

We've been travelin' for days

now and hadn't seen a soul.

It was like people

had just disappeared.

But Mister wasn't

takin' any chances.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm just getting old and scary.

You okay?

Oh, yeah...

Baby just kicked, I'm okay.

Here, give me your hand.

- Wanna feel?

- Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Let me check that out.

Here, give me your hand, wait.

That kid's got a strong kick.

She's like, "Let me out,

I wanna meet everybody."

Wake up.

Get your boots on

and your guns ready.

Willie's missin'.

Something's dead.

It's fresh.

Jesus! F***...

Oh, f***.

Oh, f***.

F***.

Oh, my God...

Come on. Come on.

- Come on. We have to go.

- I can't.

Come on.

From now on you keep your

weapons close and ready.

That thing took Willie

away to kill him.

He got around our traps.

What are you saying?

This one uses its brain.

I've seen a lot of mutant vamps

but I ain't never seen

a thinker before.

We were entering the lowlands.

New Eden was just beyond

the mountains.

We were getting close.

But so far

no sign of anything...

Alive anyway.

- You okay, girl?

- I...

I have cramps.

My back hurts really bad.

I just...

I just need to sit for a minute.

I'm sorry.

- We gotta keep movin'.

- I can't.

It's okay.

I got you.

You okay?

My daddy used to carry me

like this when I was little.

I'm not your daddy.

You ain't such a hard ass,

you know.

Let her sleep.

She needs it.

At daylight were gonna put some

distance between us and this place.

What are we gonna do

when the baby comes?

Oh, f***.

F***.

This way. It's close.

That's her.

That's her.

Wait.

It's leadin' us, boy.

Tough sh*t.

Drink up, boy.

I am a vengeful god.

Eye for eye.

Tooth for tooth.

Son for son.

This is between me and you,

you bloodsuckin' son-of-a-b*tch.

When you left me for them,

I prayed.

I prayed and God listened.

So when they came for me,

the hungry ones,

I gave my blood, willingly, hunter.

Thank you.

I am your God now.

Yah.

Nice try, child.

Try this, you f***er.

'Bout time you learn how to drive.

Almost there.

Almost.

'Almost' is a big word.

F***.

Hold it right there!

Don't move.

Thank you.

You boys look like hell.

Sh*t happens.

Yeah, sure does.

But like my mom used to say,

"Things are what they are.

Get used to 'em."

Smart woman.

She owned this place.

Last stop before the wilderness.

Buried her out back and

I've been on my own ever since.

Except for them.

It's good shootin'.

Lots of practice.

I'm gonna take a look around.

What's your name?

Martin.

I'm Peggy.

It's been a long time

since I seen a boy.

Come on.

You gotta wait 'til it's in the lot.

What's wrong with it?

They're runnin' out of food

so they're...

skinnier but meaner.

It smells us now.

Oh sh*t.

It's Walter again.

I went to high school with him

and I haven't been able

to get a clean shot.

He was such an a**hole.

I'll get him.

Martin!

No, stop!

Get in here.

What are you doing?

Martin!
