I swore I'd never let that

happen to my boys again.

So this time, we thought we'd

change things up a bit, right?

Do a little recon before we

just jump into a situation.

Know what I mean?

Look at those eyes!

That boy couldn't hurt a fly.

Those... now, those are

eyes you can trust.

Do you see?

Sacrifice.

So what now?

Rest up.

That's it?

Is there a problem?

No problem.

Good.

Eddie can take the first watch,

and you take the second watch.

What about him?

He's done plenty already.

I bet he has.

Now, you boys listen up.

We've been waiting a

long time for this.

We're gonna do things

in a civilized manner.

Now, one of the boys so

much as touches one of them

girls before, God

help me, I'll gut you.

This is our chance.

Can I just have

a minute with them?

Alone?

Make it quick.

But boss...

He's just gonna

make things right.

I'll take it

from here, Eddie.

You have to understand.

It was just to make

sure that it was safe.

I never meant to hurt you.

You have to believe me.

You lied to me.

But if I had told you

everything, would you still

let me stay?

I know that this seems

bad, but it isn't.

This is a chance for

all of us to rebuild.

Charlie is smart.

He has a vision.

He's figured all of this out.

We've been waiting for years,

and we finally found it.

It?

What is "it?"

This place,

safety, other people.

So girls.

You mean that you need girls.

Well, how else do you

expect us to rebuild?

Hey.

I know that I wasn't completely

honest about everything,

but you have to trust.

Trust you?

After what you've done?

This is a good thing.

This is civilized.

"Civilized?"

Being tied up is

anything but civilized.

You would have died out there.

They were only protecting

you from yourself.

You're a filthy liar.

You betrayed Jenny.

I knew it from the

first moment I saw you.

Please, just listen to me.

You both think

you know what's best.

Why don't you just

kill us now?

Spare us from the

rest of your lies.

No one is gonna kill anyone.

Yeah?

Not if I had things my way.

If you wanna leave,

then leave... now.

I won't stop you.

Go.

OK, fine.

We're going.

This will be the start

of a new beginning.

For once, you'll have the

chance to actually live.

Jenny, let's go.

Come on. this is our chance.

Let's go.

Jenny, please.

Please, just hear him out.

He could help Danika.

He knows about her sickness.

Jenny, don't listen to him.

What's all the racket in here?

I'm just trying to

get them to calm down.

I wasn't talking to you.

Get back in that

room, before you

hurt your pretty little face.

I'm leaving.

You ain't going

nowhere, sweetheart.

- Don't touch her!

- Shut up!

I will kill you.

Sit down!

Thank you for your cooperation.

Come on.

You got this covered?

Yes, give me more time.

I ain't leaving after that.

Charlie wants to talk to you.

Just you and the little one.

What about Sarah?

That's why I'm here.

Let's go.

No, I'm not leaving without her.

She'll be fine.

Don't ruin this.

Give us a couple minutes, Eddie.

Leave us, my boy.

I think it's best if I stay.

Really?

Just listen to

what he has to say.

There's no need to be nervous.

We'll just talk.

Believe it or not, young lady,

we're not here to hurt you.

Come on, now.

We're just talking.

She's got it.

No.

She's sick.

How long?

Listen, I don't know what

you're trying to do, but...

I'm just trying

to open your eyes.

Look, this grown-up talk's

gonna get real boring for her.

Why don't you just let

her run along and play?

No, she stays here with me.

Danika, wa...

It's OK.

Eddie's real good with kids.

He had two of his

own younger than her.

And then it all happened.

You know the little ones, they

don't tend to last that long.

She's been holding

out a while now,

still moving, still walking.

She's not sick.

Well you can

deny it all you want,

but it's not gonna help

her, not gonna help us.

You ever wonder why

she's still here?

Why you all are still here?

Because my father

dedicated his life to make

sure that we would survive.

Now, where do you think

he got that idea from?

Because he left us.

It's because he was chosen.

He was given a responsibility.

Do you know why the

dinosaurs were wiped out?

No, I...

I don't, but...

You know, those creatures

have been extinct for millions

of years now.

And since human beings have

been put on this earth,

we've never had to

face extinction.

We've experienced wars and

plagues, storms, millions of us

wiped out in a

short space of time,

but there's always

a few of us left.

Do you know why that is?

Because He is one of us.

Do you know we're

the only creature

that has a soul, a spirit?

And because of that,

He'll never let us go.

Without us, there's nothing.

So we have to rebuild and

nurture the spirit of humanity.

If this is our ark,

we'll survive the flood.

And we have to come together.

We haven't proven we

can come together yet,

but when the time is

right, He'll blessed

us with the gift of life.

Now, look at you and Danika.

She's got it and

she's still alive.

He's chosen her.

Chosen me.

You...

I got it, in the beginning,

along with millions of others.

None of 'em lasted

for than a few days.

But I'm still here.

You and your sisters

are still here.

Please, I just

wanna save my family.

I know, baby.

It's OK.

And you will.

You will.

You will.

But for once in

your life, you're

gonna do it like a human being.

Not scavenging around on

the brink of extinction.

And Danika?

She's here for a reason.

He put her here so that we can

be brought together, a family.

He's given us the answers.

And together we're gonna thrive.

He's all around us.

He's watching over us.

Can you feel that?

Stop, get off of me!

Sarah!

Sarah.

Jenny, he tried to hurt me.

You lied to me.

You promised she would be safe.

How could you

Quiet!

Boss, I...

I didn't do it.

You... you gotta believe me.

You were chosen.

And you spit on the

hand that cradled you.

Eddie, get him outside and

bury him as best you can.

Ryan, you get girls and

you fetch 'em outside.

Yes, sir.

Heathens are the poison

that got us where we are now.

And there ain't no

room for them here.

It's OK.

It's OK.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm not gonna leave you again.

I promise, OK?

Yeah, it's OK.

You're OK.

Hey, Dani.

You scared me.

We'll all be OK soon.

I'm sorry things had

to happen like this.

You're OK, though.

We'll all be OK.

Danika, you do

not leave my sight!

How could you let

that happen to her?

I didn't.

I don't know.

I don't know what happened,

and that's the honest truth.

Do you really think

Charlie can help us?

Yes, he can.

I wouldn't be here and have

gone through all of this

if I wasn't sure about

that, but it wasn't

supposed to happen like this.

I'm sorry for what

happened to your sister,

but that's not what we want.

I...

How's she doing?

Betrayed, angry.

Everything that I'm

telling her is backfiring.
