- She won't talk.

- Ellen.

- I need for you to tell me where you were last night.

- I think it would be better

if I talk to her.

- Oh, you do? Yeah?

- Yes, alone. Yeah.

Thank you.

Don't worry, I won't tell

her about the blood.

Anna, you can't do

stuff like this.

How am I supposed

to protect you?

Let me see.

Ellen!

[door opens]

Ellen!

- Yeah?

- We need to take her to the hospital.

[grunting]

[grunting]

Thought so.

You're looking

for the others... like you.

I haven't seen one of

your kind in 16 years

since the last purge.

Yeah, I remember that night.

I'll never forget it.

Men from the town said they

got every last one of them.

But that isn't

quite true, is it?

Do you wanna know

where your mother is?

[instrumental music]

[bats screeching]

[gunshot]

Gabe, you okay?

I'm fine!

[baby crying]

Any more of them

bastards back there?

No, we got 'em all.

Every last one of them.

[baby cooing]

You're my special little berry.

[breathing heavily]

[instrumental music]

[light growling]

[handcuffs click]

[light growling]

[handcuffs clicking]

What's going on?

We found Lawrence..

...and her dress

by his body.

[music continues]

[handcuffs clicking]

I'm sorry, Anna.

I really wanna understand.

I'll be back.

[clock ticking]

[light growling]

- Goodnight, Roger.

- Goodnight

[door closes]

[footsteps]

[sniffing]

Before I got you, I had a dog.

His name was Jasper.

Good dog.

Always a bit of a rebel.

But then after the night

I got you

Jasper got crazier and crazier.

And then finally

one day he snapped.

So I had to send him

to the better place..

...you know.

I swore an oath, Anna.

That I would kill the Wildlings.

If I had been..

...half the true hunter

Jasper was

there would be no Anna..

...and Jasper would still

be at my side.

There's a better place for you.

Lift up your shirt.

Find the place..

...and put it in.

Now, push it in.

Push it all the way in.

Daddy, why didn't you tell me

that I'm a Wildling?

I wanted to spare you.

Why?

(needle drops)

Why did you spare me?

Anna was a mistake..

...and so is daddy.

Roger.

[instrumental music]

[light growling]

[music continues]

[cell door slams]

Good morning, Anna.

You okay under there?

Come on get up, I need to

take you to the district..

[groaning]

Ah! No! No! Anna!

- Anna?

- Drive!

- Anna, seriously... Can you

go a bit quicker, please?

Where are we even going?

- To the Northern Light.

- Seriously?

This is crazy.

I mean, you're a fugitive.

No, I'm a Wildling.

Why are you slowing down?

Why are we stopping?

What is it, a Wildling?

- Keep driving!

- What is a Wildling, Anna?

I wanna help you,

but you can't honestly

think that we can just

steal a cop car like this.

They can trace this thing!

[indistinct radio chatter]

Hey.

Hey, Wildling!

[light growling]

[water gushing]

[instrumental music]

Aw, f***, that's cold.

You're gonna get sick

in those wet clothes.

Hey, come on, Anna.

Get up.

Raise your arms.

[instrumental music]

[light growling]

[gasps]

I won't bite you.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[moaning]

[wolf howling]

[door opens]

You track her down?

Get the men.

I can't do that, Gabe.

Not if she's with the kid.

I ran into Cooper this mornin'.

I tell ya she's asking

too many questions.

I'm not going to jail

for this, Gabe.

Not for your mist..

You let her get away!

It's not that bad really.

It won't stay like this.

[birds chirping]

[growling]

[growling]

What is it?

[eerie sounds]

- Run.

- What?

[barking]

[gunshot]

Ray, stay down.

[groaning]

[indistinct chatter]

[gun fire]

Come.

[gun fire]

[groaning]

[dogs barking]

- You gotta jump!

- What?

If we follow the river, it's probably

gonna take us back to the lake.

From there, we can find

our way back to the car

and find Ellen.

[dogs barking]

Come on, let's go.

[instrumental music]

Ellen.

Ray!

Oh, my God.

- Who did this to you?

- No f***ing idea.

Where is Anna?

Gone.

Over there.

Let's head over this way.

[indistinct chatter]

...the lead suspect

in the murder of

fellow high school class

mate Lawrence Fuller.

Fuller was found dead at

a party three months ago

and his killer

is still at large.

Anna was arrested shortly

after the murder

but escaped and is still missing

several months

into the investigation.

An important warning, authorities

are urging residents

not to take matters

into their own hands

as they fear this female

suspect may be dangerous.

She has been linked to..

[coughing]

[groaning]

[instrumental music]

[baby crying]

We gotta go.

And Roger's with them.

Alright.

Almost, almost.

Alright, come on.

[growling]

Light so blind

Through these endless skies

Feel so distant and far

Trees that sway

Under the moon so brave

Is there life beyond

these stars?

I wanna wake up inside

Oh I wanna wake up inside

I wanna wake up inside

Yeah I wanna wake up inside

Wildling

The prettiest thing

I've ever seen

Wildling

The prettiest thing

I've ever seen

Wildling

I wanna run with you tonight

And temper keeps me

up at night

As dreams flow

under the door

Wakin' up deep inside

Afraid of wanting more

I'm gonna wake up inside

Yeah I'm gonna

wake up inside

I'm gonna wake up inside

Yeah I'm gonna

wake up inside

Wildling

You're the prettiest

thing I've ever seen

Wildling

I know it's hard
