" Hear it change, Todd, the change is coming." " I know." "You don't have to remind me." " What are you gonna do about it, Todd?" " I'm taking him to the farm." " Why?" "You need to go to a group." " I'm not taking him to a group." " He needs people, he's just a kid..." " stop!" "How can you say that after what happened last time?" " It's what he wants." " No." "People are dangerous." "That's the only truth now." "We're going to the farm." " Is that what's best for him?" " He doesn't know what's best for..." "Hey." "Go where I can see you." " Todd." "Don't blame yourself, Todd." "Hey." "Time to go." "Last one." "Make it last." "We're going into the town we saw the other day." "You ready?" "Let's go." "Benny!" "You can have 'em." "Hey!" "We don't have room for toys." "You know that." " Shut up and get in the shadows." " You have three seconds before..." " quiet." "Over there." "Come here." " Damn it, Benny." " Benny, no!" "No!" "What have I told you about fighting?" "Huh?" "They're bigger and stronger than you." "You know that." "Thanks for watching my back." "You know what to do." " Well, I suppose a thanks is in order." "Although, you know, if you weren't so loud." "I haven't seen you around here before." " It's a big world." " Yeah, well, I know most drifters." " Yeah, well, you don't know me." "And I don't know you." "Let's keep it that way." " You know there's a shop that you can trade..." " yeah, I know of it." " I thought you weren't from around here?" " I never said that." " Hey." "My kill, my spoils." " Let's go." "More can show up any second." " Hey." "For your arm." "Now we're even." "You know we could use someone like you." "We have food and water." " No." " We're working on a cure." " There is no cure." "There's just this." " It's safe." "And there's other kids for the little guy." " I said no." " Do you really think that's what's best for him?" " Don't tell me how to raise my brother." " Don't ever touch me." "Go ahead." "Kill me." "It doesn't change anything." "You might be a hard ass but it doesn't mean that he is." "Go ahead." "Do it." "Please." "You're what?" "17, 18." "How much longer do you think you have, hmm?" "Where does that live him?" " Go to hell." "We're leaving." " There's a place for you." "For the both of you." "We're just on the edge of town." " Don't care." " Yeah, well, you should." " Well, I don't." "Hey, here's a map." "I circled our camp." "They'll know I sent you." " Go." "This place'll work." "Thirsty?" "What are you drawing?" "Looks pretty good." "You're getting better." "Hey." "I know that place sounds good." "Alright?" "But it's not for us." "Who do you trust?" "Todd." "Todd, your brother." "Say it." "Who do you trust?" "Say it!" "Speak!" "Why don't you ever talk?" "!" "You know I could change into a zombie any day now." "Are you even gonna say good-bye?" "Huh?" "Alright." "Go on, hit me, tough guy." "Get up." "You don't need to be a killer but you're gonna learn to defend yourself." "Come on." "Come on." "Get up!" "Yeah?" "Yeah?" "Oh shit." "Hey, hey, hey." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Are you okay?" "All better?" "Can I get a hug?" "You know, you were just born so you probably wouldn't remember the farm." "It was something else." "Green fields." "A river that was nice and cool in the summer." "A big tree with a swing on it." "We had wild animals." "We'd have chickens and we'd gather their eggs every single day." "You know the best part?" "No zombies." "No people." "Just you and me." "I know." "Weird." "You know the drill." "We can't stay here." "We need to keep moving." "Thirsty?" "I know." "I'm thirsty too." "We'll find some water in the morning." "Alright?" "Get some sleep." " Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." "It's alright." "It's alright, you're just having a hebbie jebbie." "Come here." "You're alright, buddy." "You got your whole life before the change." "At least eight more years." "You want me to read?" "Alright." ""Bandy legs"." ""As I was going to sell my eggs," "I met the man with bandy legs." "Bandy legs and crooked toes..."" ""bandy legs and crooked toes," "I tripped us heels and he fell on..."" "show yourself!" "Don't come any closer!" " Steady." "He means me no harm." " Yes, I do!" " Easy." "I only want to share your fire." " Bullshit!" "What are you doing with bodyguards?" " They are not my bodyguards." "They were lost children once." "Now, they are my family." "Home is further than we wish to wait." "Share your fire, we'll share the meat." "A fair trade," "I think." " No." "This is our spot." " If I wanted to hurt you," "I would've already done it." " There's more than one way to hunt prey." " What are you doing?" " Cooking you and that boy dinner." " We don't want your meat." "I know your kind." " You don't know me." " I know enough." " I'd love to hear what you think you know about me." "Water!" " Don't come any closer!" " Relax." " Hands where I can..." " sit!" "Please." "That's better." "If you're not going to let me feed you." "The least I can do is satisfy other needs." "We eat like this every night and have plenty to share." "Are you sure you don't want any?" " I said no." "Drink you water!" " Can I pour you another cup?" " He's had enough." " I see." "You're right." "Do I make you that uncomfortable?" "In my camp, we're all family." "We live comfortably in the woods by the lake." "You could be a part of that family." " I know what the plains witch does to her family." " The plains witch?" "That's funny." "How can I make you more comfortable?" " Leave." " You think those stories are true?" "They're only lies and half-truths." " Would your mother agree?" " Where did you hear that?" "!" " So, it's true." " Todd." "Todd?" " Benny?" "Benny!" "Hey." "Hey, you." "Hey." "Hey." "Kid." "Kid?" " You have to find him, Todd." " I will." " He doesn't like to be alone." " I know." " Did you hear that?" " Shhh." "Where's your camp?" "!" "Tell me now!" "You have three seconds." "Take me there." "How much further?" " Matra will be back, my children." "Release him!" "So glad you could make it." " Where is he?" "!" " My children, pay attention." " Shut up!" "Tell me where he is!" " This is between you and I." "Let 'em go." " If I die," "I'm take you with me!" " My children, here is your lesson." "Never underestimate your opponent." " What did you do to me?" "I can't..." " put him in the cage." " Todd!" "It's happening." " Help me!" " Help you do what?" " Help me get it out!" "I can get it out!" "I can get it out!" "I can get it out!" " It doesn't come out, Todd." " I can get it out!" " Don't do it, Todd!" "Todd!" " He's changing!" "Hey, he's changing!" " No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" " He's not changing." "He's reliving his own hell." " Todd?" " Benny, wait." "Sarah!" "Sarah!" " How do you know he's not changing?" " This is his punishment." " Sarah, no!" " You did this to him." "Make it stop!" " Only he can make it stop." "He allows his mind to be tormented by the past." " Sarah!" " Which makes him weak." " It's okay." "Breathe." "Breathe." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Just breathe." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Breathe." " I'm so sorry." " Todd." "It's not your fault, Todd." " I wasn't there to protect you." "How is that not my fault?" " I forgive you." " I don't deserve your forgiveness." "Where is he?" "!" "Tell me, you bitch!" " Do not speak to immortal Matra that way." " If I find out you've harmed..." " when you've learned to speak to me properly," "I will let you out." "Until then, you will remain in here with our other troubled youngsters." " We'll never follow you!" " Oh you will, my child." "You will." "Everyone has a breaking point!" " How long have I been out?" " Three days." " Now be sure to eat everything." "We wouldn't want any to go to waste." "In order to gain the strength within, it must be devoured completely." "That is the promise Alma makes to us all." "Do any of you know who Alma is?" "Alma is our spiritual leader." "She guides and protects us all." "Much like how I guide and protect you." "But she demands commitment." "We show commitment to her in dances, sacrifices," "and war." "What do we do to those who threaten our family?" " We destroy them!" " We destroy them!" " Right." "You wouldn't want anyone to hurt our family, would you?" " No!" " No!" " You wouldn't want anyone to hurt me, your Matra, would you?" " No." "No." "No." "Those few hawks hurt your Matra." "What are we gonna do about it?" " Destroy them!" "Destroy them!" " Again!" " Destroy them!" " Again!" " Destroy them!" " Again!" " Destroy them!" " Again!" " Destroy them!" " That's right." " Don't listen to what she says." " It's time for a lesson in respect." " Please don't do this." "Why are you doing this?" " Quiet!" "When you do not show respect to me, you do not show respect to Alma and she demands punishment for those disrespect her." " Please don't do this!" " Only one of you, the stronger one, will survive the day." "The decision is yours." "You may begin." "Weakness is not tolerated here." "If you do nothing, you are useless and will be discarded." " Stop!" " You can make this stop!" "All you have to do is prove that you are stronger." "Prove that you are ready to show respect to Alma!" " Ow!" "Please!" " Last warning!" "If you do nothing, you will be killed!" "Now, fight!" "Yes." " Please." " Well done, my dear." " Don't touch me." " You have proven your strength." "Now, you must show your respect." "You must eat your first kill." " You did what you had to." "It's what you do now that determines who you are." " It's time, my dear." " Remember who you are." "Who you were." "Remember." " You have proven your strength." "Now you join the fight." "This is yours." "Use it wisely." "Alma has made us a promise." "If we honor her and respect her, she will Grant us immortality." "We grow stronger every day." "Soon we will be strong enough to bring justice to those who held your Matra prisoner for so long." "War's coming." "And each and every one of you is just as important." "You would hurt your Matra?" " You're not my Matra." " Oh, my child!" "My child." "My child." "My child!" "My child!" "Oh, my child." "My child." "This is what happens when you allow your mind to be controlled by weakness!" "Let this be a lesson to you all!" "Oh, my child." "My child." "Look at what you've done!" "This is your fault." "Open the cage." "You poison my little girl with your rebellious idea." "Now, I'm gonna cut you!" " Try it." " You're not afraid of death." "We make such a good pair." "Your strong offspring in me only." "Offspring?" " Bullshit." " I've been promised immunity." " We all change, there is no immunity." " Wrong!" "When we ingest their blood, we ingest the answer." " You're just eating rotten meat." " Wrong!" " Listen." "They die just like you and me." "You know this." "You've killed them." "See?" "They're not undead." "Only changed." "Their minds gone." " Your mind is gone." " I don't wish to kill you," "I need you." "You could make my hunters with such great" "results." " Matra!" "Matra!" " I'm here." " I got another for the war." "A runner." " Think about it." "She'll do nicely." "Throw her in the cage." "Don't let her get too close to him." " Looks like you've found yourself a good" " shut up." " Look, have you seen two girls." "Roughly 13." " Ruby?" "!" "Ruby!" "Ruby." "And Bella?" "Damn it!" "They've been missing for two weeks," "I've been out looking for them." " Already tried." " Yeah but the both of us." " Maybe." "But they're always watching." " When the time is right." " There you are, my little warrior." "Your lines of power are in place." "Breathe in." "Breathe in your invincibility." "Here you are, my warriors." "Now, you are ready for battle." "Show me your war stance." "Good." "Good." "You will be fierce, each and every one of you." "Now, go!" "Practice war!" "Remember, you are invincible!" " Hey." "You know she's crazy, right?" "She's gonna get you killed." "Are you listening to me?" "!" "Go on, do it!" "Get off of me." " Knock it off." "You keep this up and we won't be able to escape." " Why should I help you?" " You need me as much as I need you." " Where is your rescue party?" " I was it." "We can't spare anymore people." " Some camp." " Runners die." "It's part of the job." "We can't risk losing more to save a few." " What about for kids?" " Everyone is just as important as the next person." "That's how we survive." " Until a corrupt few think differently." " Not in our camp." "Tommy keeps everyone in line." " Tommy." "Sounds like the crazy bitch here." " She's changing!" "She's changing!" "Her faith is weak." "We must consume her." "Feed with me family!" "We will be children forever!" "Alma demands more." "We eat her raw." " Now's our chance." " This way." "We can lose them..." " I'm not leaving without my brother." " Oh, okay." "If we take from the shadows, we can..." " Todd?" "It's time to wake up." " He's awake!" " Benny?" " Look at me, my child." "I am your Matra." "We are your family now." "He means nothing to you." " Benny don't listen to her..." " silence!" "Step back into formation!" "You have a broken mind." "There are only two things to do to a broken mind." "Break it into submission or destroy it." "You may begin." "Finish it!" "Finish him." "There must be a winner." "Finish it or you both die." "Finish it!" "Finish it!" "Finish it!" "Get them!" " Benny!" "It's me." " Everyone stay where you are!" " Benny, don't listen to her." " Your darn fine idea." " Benny, it's me." " He's mine." "My loyal warrior." " Benny." "Benny, look." "I got you something." "It's for you." " Put that down!" "You carry a spear now!" "I said put that down." "Defiance has a punishment around here." " Todd!" " How dare you defy your Matra?" " Todd!" " But we were supposed to live together forever." " No, no, no." "We need to keep moving." " You spoke." "You spoke!" " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sor..." " no, it's okay!" "It's alright." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I'm here." "Everything's gonna be okay now." "Listen, I know you wanna be with those other kids but we don't belong there." " I know." " Yeah?" " Not all places are like that." "Good ones exist." "Like our camp." "Now what?" "What'd I say this time?" "I take it, you're not coming with me?" "Well..." " Todd." " Eve." "This belongs to you." "I'll see you around." " Alright, time to go." "You wanna piggyback?" "Yeah?" "Come on." "Hey." "Say my name again." " Todd." " Again." " Todd!" " Again!" " Todd!" " Again!" " Todd!" " Again!" " Todd!" " Whoo!"
