Say Goodbye To America/Special 5

The Middle of Nowhere
Carter: We should keep moving. There's no telling how many of them there are

Izzy: They left us. There is nowhere to go. We're on our own for now

Carter: They probably didn't go far. Maybe they stayed in the general area and are waiting for us

Izzy: We can't be certain they would wait for us. They might have been spooked by the walkers and fled in fear

Carter: Do you really think my best friend and your sister in law would just leave? They don't know Thomas is dead. Would Lucie leave her own brother behind? Would her grandfather let her do so?

Izzy: I don't see any signs that they wouldn't leave us behind. We've searched the cars; there is nothing left. They're gone

-

Lucie: Should we go back?

Tyler: Two hours and that's the first thing you say. I know we should've gone back. But I don't think there's anything left. Chances are, they didn't make it out

Lucie: Still, shouldn't we go back? Maybe they did survive

Tyler: Would you risk it? If we stop here for the night, maybe they'll catch up. We didn't go very far, there was too much action on the road. They might catch up

Jake: I agree with the resting part. I would like to get outside for a bit and stretch my legs

Tyler: We can camp here for the night I guess. Find a car in the morning so we don't have to have six people in one van

''As they set up camp, the sun sits in the sky, barely moving. Tyler takes Lucas out to hunt. They spot a deer in the cleering and Lucas peers through the scope at the animal''

Tyler: Aim for the chest

''Lucas aims straight at the doe's chest and pulls the trigger. The animal goes down in one shot. The two grab the doe and drag it back to their campsite''

Cindy: Did we have to kill it?

Tyler: We don't have a lot of food, deer. We needed to kill it so we could eat. We need to eat so we survive

Lucas: Dad, I need to use the bathroom

Tyler: Just go in the woods. Not too far though

''Lucas walks in the woods, but as soon as he gets far enough, he pulls a candy bar out of his pocket and starts to eat it. The crunching in his ear drowns out the sound of leaves being stepped on. He is then hit in the head''

-

"He's only a child. We don't deal with this shit"

"But Scott, he was alone. A child alone in the woods, that's not right"

Scott: Why did you hit him over the head then?

"Do you think he would let us get hold of him? He looked fucked up"

Scott: Gale, I don't care

Tobias: So what do we do with him?

Scott: Put him in the basement with the others. We'll figure out what to do with him later

Gale: He's awake

Lucas slowly opens his eyes, scratches his head  and dries his eyes of a few leftover tears

Lucas: Where am I?

Tobias: You're in the middle of nowhere kid

Austin: What's you're name kid?

Lucas: Where's my dad?

Scott angrily glares at Gale and Tobias

Austin: I fucking told you to leave the kid alone, Gale

Lucas: Where's my dad?

Gale: What do we tell him, Scott?

Lucas: Where's my dad?

Scott: We don't know, kid! If you tell us your name, we might find out

Lucas: Lucas Thymes

Scott: Okay Lucas. Where did you last see your father?

Lucas: We were out in the woods. I killed a deer in one shot. My sister wasn't happy about it but dad said it was necessary to live

Scott looks at Gale questioningly

Scott: Lucas, we're going to help you find your father. But it is too dark out now. It is unsafe to leave now. Gale is going to take you downstairs. We have bedding set up, and there are three others downstairs living there. You will have company. You'll be fine. In the meantime, we're going to plan out our route to find your family. We'll bring your father home. I promise

Gale picks up Lucas and carries him into the basement of the large building

Vincent: Kid's a crack shot, you heard him. Took a deer down with one bullet. That's pretty good for a kid his age

Ted: Are you asying he's dangerous? He's just a little kid

Tobias: I bet his father taught him that

Austin: What do we do when we find this kid's family?

Scott: We kill them

Austin: You can't be serious. You promised that kid we'd bring his father back to him

Scott: I promised the father. No one else. We keep the father in the basement. We promised that kid his dad. We're gonna come through with it. I'll take Tom and Hal out right now. Strike when they least expect it. Silenced guns only

-

Tyler: Where the hell is he?!

Luice: I knew we shouldn't let him go alone

Tyler: Lucas! Lucas!!

''Tyler's voice echoes through the dark of the night. No response''

-

''Scott, Tom and Hal slowly walk through the woods, hugging KY-9 highway. Along the way, they spot a car inhabited by a lone man.''

Scott: This can't be him

Tom: Do we leave him be?

Scott: Now why would we do that? We want what he has

Hal: Scott, are you crazy? You're talking about stealing from some random person. He could be dangerous

Scott: Hal, in this world, we need to do what we need to do in order to survive. If that means steal, then we steal. If that means kill, we kill. So are you content with this?

''Scott walks up slowly to the man with a Smith and Wessen Model 15 in hand. He cocks the gun by the man's head''

Scott: Give me your supplies now, before you lose your god damn head

" I see one of you. You can’t over power me"

Scott ooks to his left, than his right, and two men came out holding a baseball bat and a crowbar

Scott: Tom, hold the man down. Take his supplies

Tom: Sure thing, Scott

Scott: Don't test me, I have killed two people this month with this gun

Scott: Hal, make sure there is no one else in the car

Hal slowly walks to the cars, crowbar ready to strike, and checks the windows

Hal: I don't see anyone in the car. This guys all alone

Scott: Have you got anyone else with you? Maybe a son? He go missing?

Chance: I'm alone. I'm always alone

Before Scott can respond, a man yells ''from behind the car in front them holding a machete and swings at Hal. The man hits Hal in the head. Tom grabs his gun and shoots the man in the shoulder. A woman comes out from behind the car and stabs Tom in the neck.''

"Do you want to end up like your friends here?"

Scott: No

"Then I suggest you leave… NOW!"

Scott begins to run off into the woods

"Malcolm, let's get out of here"

 -

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Izzy and Carter come across a large building in the distance and begin walking towards it

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> -

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> Austin: Scott, where's Hal and Tom

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> Scott: We came across these people. We only saw one man originally. He wanted our supplies. We told him no, and when we did, two people came out and killed Hal and Tom. I couldn't..... I couldn't stop them from killing them. I shot one, though in the shoulder. And I ran back here. We need to find Lucas's family and then we kill these other people. One of their name's was Malcolm. Ask Lucas if he knows a Malcolm, and we kill two birds with one stone

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> Gale: He doesn't. Not only does he not know anyone with that name but he said, and I quote, "What kind of a name is that?"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> Scott: David, Vincent, Joe! I want you all by my side. We leave at first light to "find" Lucas's family

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> -

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> Parker: Whose the fresh fish?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Jessie: Some little kid

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: A little kid, really? Now they've gone too far. The next person to come downstairs i'm going to kill. We'll be free

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: What do you mean?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Boy, you're imprisoned here. For all we know, we might die

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: That man said he would bring my father here. He's gonna pick me up

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Which man said that?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: His name was Scott

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Boy, don't trust Scott

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: But he promised me

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: And he'll keep that promise. But there's always something else. Do you have a family with you?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: Yes

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: And what did he promise you?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: My father

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Not you're whole family, just your father?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: Yes

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Son, he's not going to bring your family. Did he promise your dad alive?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: No

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Then we can't be certain what he'll do. But if you help me, we're gonna get out of here, and Scott won't be able to kill your dad. If we're lucky, we'll kill Scott as well

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Lucas: What must I do?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Lie down and act like you're in pain. I'll call for help

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">''Lucas complies with Trey and Trey begins to scream for help. Once a man goes down the stairs to help, Trey jumps on top of him and wrestles the man to the ground. Trey punchesthe man in the back of the head before taking the man's knife out of his back pocket, stabs the man in the beack of the head and runs to the foot of the stairs''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Trey: Come on. We can leave

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">''Parker and Jessie stare past Trey where Austin and Tobias stand behind him. Trey turns around to look at them, with pistols in their hands''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Austin: Drop the weapon

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">''Trey lunges at Austin, who grabs Trey's arm, pulls Trey towards him and shoots him in the head. Trey's arm goes limp in Austin's hand''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;">Austin: Clean up Jerry. Not a word of this revolt to Scott. We'll say he killed himself, unable to deal with the loss of his brother

Austin looks at Lucas, who glares back with fear in his eyes

Austin: Welcome to the new world order, kid. And just so you know, we've done this twice before. We didn't want to kill him, but follow our rules and live. We feed you. You have company, you have a bathroom, you have some reading material to keep you entertained. So why revolt?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> -

Joe: Does that match the description the boy gave?

Scott: One young man?

Joe: Yes

Scott: One young woman?

Joe: Yes

Scott: A really old guy?

Joe: Yes

Scott: Two little children?

Joe: Yes

Scott: That's them. David, take the shot

David: Which one?

Scott: How about one of the kids?

David scopes in on Alan and shoots him in the chest with a high powered rifle

Scott: Now go. While they're scared

Tyler: Alan! Alan!

Lucie: Who would do this

They hear footsteps running towards them and Tyler pulls out his gun

Scott: Woah. Woah hey. Calm down. We heard the guns too. We thought it might be you

Lucie: Some asshole shot our son

Vincent: Who would of doen something like that?

Tyler looks up and sees David holding a rifle

Tyler: Maybe it was him

He shoot David twice in the chest and points his gun at Scott and Vincent

Scott: We have your son. We have Lucas

Lucie: Lucas? My boy?

Tyler: Is he alright

Scott: He's fine. He's fed, he's housed. Come with us and see for yourself

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:28px;"> -

Tyler: He's down in the basement?

Scott: That's where we had room. He bunks with three others. He wanted to see you, Tyler and you too, Jake

Lucie: Not his own mother? I must see him

Scott: Not yet. Gale, bring Tyler and Jake downstairs to see the boy

''As the two head down the stairs, the door is slammed shut and locked behind them. On one side of the door, Tyler pounds it to get out. On the other side, Lucie and Cindy are knocked unconscious''. A voice chimes from behind

Jessie: Welcome to hell, you two
