* It's the Rage. Where are we going? To get medicine. Don't go. Something is wrong here. I have to go after them. You were right, though. Something's not right here. Tie her up, and let's get out of here. You could've left me to die, but you didn't. You stayed and helped me. That's how it should be. You have powers. Just concentrate on him and will it to happen. (WHOOSH!) Welcome to your new dominion. What's that? I don't like the look of it. (SCREAMS) Don't touch the fog. I'm finished. I'm not gonna let the Rage win. Not this time. Without me, you and Rose still have a chance to escape. You can't just give up. No! Who said anything about giving up? (POIGNANT MUSIC) (SOMBRE MUSIC) Made you some dinner. I don't want any. Well, you have to eat something. (SIGHS) Look,... I know you still miss Jen, and losing Caine has probably brought all of that back, but... you have to keep going. What's the point? Well, she wouldn't want you to give up. We have to keep fighting, not just for Jen, but for everybody who hasn't made it.

Sooner we get you back to the farm, the better. Come on, pack up. (OMINOUS MUSIC) WHISPERS: Tom! ECHOES: Tom. ECHOES: Come on, Tom. Don't, Tom. I'm so cold. So cold. Cold, Tom. MUTTERS: Shut up! What did you say? ANGRILY: Nothing. (BIRDS SING, CRICKETS CHIRP) What? Turn around. (OMINOUS MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (BOTH GASP) Rose?! Ben, I told you to wait at the farm. The farm? Where's Eliza? Who? Eliza. I told you guys to wait for me. I don't know what you're talking about. SOFTLY: We have to get back to the farm. Eliza. We're going. Hey` Oi. I` I can't let you go. What, we're prisoners? No, I mean I can't let you go alone. It isn't safe. We can look after ourselves. We don't have time for this, OK? I don't wanna get caught out here after dark. Just let them go. We're coming with you, if that's OK. Sure. Just keep up. So that's the famous Rose, huh? Not as tall as I imagined. Look, we don't need her. I can handle the Sisters. Let's hurry up. (SINISTER DRUM MUSIC) Water? Still a little freaked out, then? I disintegrated a person with my mind. What do you think? Fair enough. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think they're people. Not any more, at least. Mm. It doesn't. Things will get a whole lot clearer once we get back to the city. I promise. You promise ` what do you reckon that's worth? Well, that's a bit mean. Things will get so much easier if you just accept your destiny. (SIGHS) Thanks for the advice, Obi-Wan (!) (SIGHS) I was 5 years old when the Walking Man first spoke to me. First time I actually saw him was at my mother's funeral. He was just a shadow. Freaked out at first. Thought I was going insane. But then I realised,... I had been chosen to be part of something big. I'd been chosen above everyone else. Sweet story (!) But we'd better get there soon. You're really getting on my nerves. (UNSETTLING MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (EXHALES) (MAJESTIC MUSIC) (THUNDER RUMBLES) Wave's almost here. We'd better get inside. You OK? Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I haven't got the Rage, if that's what you're worried about. I'm just tired. OK. WHISPERS: Tom. ECHOES: Tom. ECHOES: Tom. We'll all be together soon. You'll see. ALL: Together soon. (SINISTER MUSIC SWELLS) You were right, though. Something's not right here. * Tie her up, and let's get out of here. (TENSE MUSIC) (THUNDER RUMBLES IN DISTANCE) Wait here. Eliza? (THUNDER CRACKS) (THUNDEROUS RUMBLING INTENSIFIES) How long are we gonna wait around here? Rose needs our help. We've got enough problems of our own. She's not here. Who? My sister. (OMINOUS MUSIC) Tracks. Reapers. Heading back to the city by the looks of things, and... and they had a prisoner with them. Eliza. I'm gonna go after Eliza at first light. You guys are welcome to stay here. No, thanks. What she means is ` we'll help you track her. That's not what I meant at all. Your girlfriend runs a little hot. She's not` um, I mean, we're` we're not` I` We're just` Friends? We run a kind of a resistance against the Reapers. Wow. That's quite a turnaround from being one of them to leading the charge against them. I'm impressed. I mean,... we hit and run, uh, generally do whatever we can to make their lives uncomfortable, but... the darkness that rules them, it... grows stronger every day. If the Reapers have taken your sister, then we'd better get to her before she reaches the city, or... I mean, you may never see her again.

(SINISTER MUSIC INTENSIFIES) Don't open it! What are you doing?! Can you tell your girlfriend to keep her hands off my brother? They've found us. He was gonna let them inside. Who's found you? The Sisters! What sisters? They're the things we've been hunting. They've been hunting us, more like. Well, can everyone calm down? We've faced a lot of crazy things since the Wave, but nothing we haven't been able to handle. Yeah. Yeah, we've all heard the stories. But the Sisters, they're different. Tell her. They're vampires. (OMINOUS MUSIC) WHISPERS: Vampires? I know it sounds crazy. Sounds impossible. Tell that to the people we've lost. Actually, nothing's impossible. Very improbable, yes. But... in an infinite universe, technically, nothing's impossible. You're feeling better, I see. Look. All I know is if it looks like a vampire and acts like a vampire, it's probably a damn vampire. Or an actual living creature that inspired the ancient myths. Well, three of those ancient myths are currently standing outside our window. What do they want? Me. They attacked me in the forest last night. Why didn't you tell me this before? I thought it was a dream. There's something about him that they're drawn to. A sadness. It's making him weak. They won't stop until they get him. OK. So say they are vampires. How do we kill them? Wooden stakes through the heart? Silver bullets? That's werewolves. What? Pretty sure the silver only works on werewolves. We're safe in here. They can't come in unless they're invited. Seriously?! We have to tie the kid up. Before they get inside his head. No, you don't. She's right. Tie me up. I can hear them in my head right now. (SINISTER MUSIC INTENSIFIES) At sunrise, the Sisters will be forced to find shelter from the sun. Mm. 'Course. That's when we make a run for it. What about tomorrow night? And the night after that? Out there, on the open road, we are easy targets. I'm sick of running. I say we go out there, and we end this tonight. Wait a minute. I've seen enough old movies to know that vampires are strongest at night. So you wouldn't stand a chance. So you agree with Ben? You think we should just run? No. I think we should... wait the night out here, and in the morning, track them to their hiding place, and... attack them while they sleep. It's actually a pretty good plan. We'll have to set up a watch in case they try anything overnight. I'll take the first shift, yeah? (OMINOUS MUSIC) (GENTLE BREATHING) WHISPERS: Hunter. ECHOES: Hunter. ECHOES: Hunter. Cut their throats. Cut their throats. Throats. Throats. Don't trust her. She's trying to take over. Take over. She's trying to take over! Take over. Let us in, Hunter.

Does your offer still stand, helping us track her? Sure, but... My guys need to rest. Well, they can rest all they want. Tom and I leave in an hour. (SINISTER DRUM MUSIC) We're here. Rose is coming after me. When she gets here, you'll be sorry. No, I won't. I can't wait to see her. I like Rose. I really do. THE WALKING MAN: Rose can't save you. Shut up. I will destroy her first. Didn't work out that way last time. I am stronger now. Leave me alone! 'Leave me alone'?! But there is no 'me' any more. There is no Eliza. Who you talking to? Nobody. (TENSE MUSIC) Welcome home. I'll leave you to get acquainted. 'Acquainted'?
