If you've become separated from someone

and you don't know where they are,

a hotline has been set up to help you.

Hey, what the hell, man?

Bullshit.

What does that mean?

It means we're screwed.

Hey!

Hey! Do you hear that?

Matty, kill the lights. Let's go!

What are you doing?

I'm going to draw them away

and hope like hell they take the bait.

I'll come with you.

No, you're gonna be cutting the lights

and keeping those a**holes quiet.

- What if I cut the...

- Just do what I say.

Come on, Matty.

No!

Stop! Hold your fire.

- What did I tell you to do?

- It wasn't me.

You almost took my head off!

I thought they got past you.

You give me the gun.

I'm not giving you dick.

Who the hell put you in charge, anyway?

Okay, let's compromise.

What?

More?

Sh*t.

Give me that.

Danny.

Man!

Your dad said you were up here.

You saw him? Was he okay?

Yeah, but it's bad down there, man.

Where are our troops, Jed?

I don't know.

Toni.

You hurt?

No, I'm fine.

Fine.

Is Erica here?

I think they took her.

Everybody inside.

Wake up.

What's wrong?

That a**hole Pete and his buddy

took off with all the food.

I need you guys

to take anything we can use,

put it in the truck and

hide it in the woods.

And that prick knows

where we are so keep your eyes open.

Matty, come with me. Let's go. Get up.

North Korea.

It doesn't make any sense.

There's a bigger picture here.

They had to have had help.

You think it's like this everywhere?

I don't think they've come all this way

just for Spokane and Seattle.

Where do you think Dad is?

Probably down there.

With anyone else they think is a threat

or they can get information from.

You think Erica is in there?

Your girl is a fighter.

She'll be okay.

We got to get them out of there.

We can't just call 911, Matty.

We got to stay put for now and just pray

like hell it doesn't get any worse.

Hey!

Hey! They found us.

There's no one here.

I swear. This is where they were.

Son of a b*tch. It's Pete.

Holy sh*t. Daryl, that's your dad.

What? Let me see.

Quiet. Stay down.

Jesus Christ.

Boys,

it's Mayor Jenkins.

Captain Cho here is the acting prefect

of this district.

He says you seriously injured

some of his men

and he's given me his word,

if you turn yourselves in,

no one is going to be hurt. Okay?

Boys?

Daryl?

Son?

I'd like you to come home.

Guys, shouldn't we do what he says?

What do we do, Jed?

We don't move.

- But if my dad trusts this guy...

- Daryl, shut up.

Everybody stay still.

Boys.

If youre out there,

if you can hear me, listen up.

It's a tough situation all the way around.

A lot of tough choices.

I love you both.

I hope you know that.

What I'm going to ask you to do
