The Host Page #4

They only see you.

Now, Maggie.

Don't you "Maggie" me,

little brother.

It could bring a whole

army down on our heads.

I don't see anyone.

I'm in here.

This is unkind, Jebediah.

Let's go.

Life is unkind, Magnolia.

JEB:
Watch your head.

MELANIE:

Where are we, Wanderer?

I reckon it's safe enough now.

So many humans alive.

We haven't lost.

Jared!

Jared!

Jared's alive! Jared's...

(GRUNTS)

Enough, Jared.

MAGGIE:
Jebediah,

I know it's hard.

But we gotta do

what's best for everyone.

She's gotta go to Doc's place.

Just like the rest.

Ain't that right, Doc?

No!

Jamie!

I don't see any tracks.

She didn't fly away.

This Wanderer is

living up to her name.

We find her,

we find the resistance.

Melanie?

Wanderer?

They don't know a human can

stay alive in a body.

You can't tell them

I'm in here.

They won't believe you.

They'll think you're

lying to save yourself.

Oh, God.

They're gonna kill us.

I'm sorry.

Move aside, Jared.

Get out of the way.

IAN:
We can't keep her

prisoner forever.

It's gonna escape

and lead them to us.

I don't want to

hurt you, Jared.

But I will.

No!

I am what you want!

Stay back!

I am what you want!

(GRUNTS)

Ian! Get it!

Leave him alone!

MELANIE:
Keep breathing! Come on, Wanderer!

Fight him! Fight!

Finish it!

(CHOKING)

JEB:
Good evening, everyone.

I hate to remind you, but this is

my place, and you are my guests.

For the moment, she is, too.

I don't take kindly to my

guests strangling each other.

Jeb, it's got to die.

We took a vote.

This ain't a democracy.

It's a dictatorship.

It's a benign dictatorship, but

it's a dictatorship just the same.

You mind telling us what

you plan on doing with it?

This ain't never

happened before.

One of our own coming back.

For right now,

this tunnel is off limits.

If I find any of you back here,

I'm asking questions second.

I'll take

the next watch, Jared.

Keep it away from the kid.

SEEKER REED:
I do not think

we are looking for Wanderer.

I think we are

looking for a body.

SEEKER PAVO:
Even if she were

not hurt in the wreck,

how long could she

survive in this place?

From my experience, this

host has difficulty dying.

There's too much

land for us to cover.

I am requesting more Seekers,

ground and air patrols.

Are they really such a threat?

We outnumber them

a million to one.

He's still pissed you hit him.

I told him you were sorry.

I'm not.

I know.

No one's ever sorry

for hitting my brother.

It looks like they're

calling off the search.

Not that one.

MELANIE:
Jamie!

Little brother.

Do you know who I am?

You are Jamie.

But you're not Melanie.

I want to know what happened
