You took part in an
operation that went bad.
I work for the other survivor.
There's a tattoo

Bugs Bunny,
holding a stick of dynamite.
-Are you the Bowmans?
-Yeah.
Show me the gauntlet.
I've been looking
for this thing for a long time.
This camp, what are we
looking at when we get there?
It's a good place.
Sometimes it can be political.
-What am I looking at?
-A plan for Los Angeles
after the rendition.
They want to use LA
to build a bio-weapon.
Everything you think
is going to happen here,
it's already happening.
In Seattle.
The Resistance,
outside the walls.
They've been sending
messages about Seattle.
The whole colony
was renditioned.
The camp needs to see
what you've uncovered.
Help me get this
to the right people.
[indistinct chatter

Got it.
Told you you'd barely feel it.
You missed some,
there and there.
There's some dirt
embedded in the abrasions.
Let's have a nurse clean it.
You're all good.
I'd milk this for some ice
cream on the way home though.
Can you help me

-Sure.

-That's why I came to you.
A friend of mine
has a head wound.
A bad one, and he can't
come to the hospital.
I don't handle
those kinds of cases.
You need to talk

There is nobody else.
This friend of mine,

to help our neighbors

Do you know what's

Shot came out of nowhere,

He got lucky.
The bullet's lodged
in the frontal lobe.
I grabbed some surgical

This isn't stitches

It's brain surgery.
You guys have to dump him

Do you think
there's other kids here?
Oh yeah,
I'm sure there will be.
And it's safe, right?
Well...
These people have been
living here for a long time.
Good morning.
I'm Andrew MacGregor.
I, uh, run this place.
Hey, would you mind?
The adults need to talk.
Could you step out
for a minute?
Okay?
I want to know how you
got a hold of the gauntlet.
Um, my team hit
a secure train
that turned out
to be transporting a RAP.
A Click, and we got
the gauntlet off its suit.
What happened to the Click?
The Occupation recovered it.
Well.
You're welcome
to stay at the camp.
Provided you follow the rules.
Children go to school,
adults work.
There's a strict curfew.
No one's allowed outside the
perimeter without permission.
And there are no
electronics of any kind.
So that's how you stayed off
the drone's radar.
By keeping the camp analog.
Before the Occupation
recovered the captured Click,
were you able
to interrogate it?
We tried,
it was unresponsive.
Your defector,
can you communicate with it?
It's not a defector,
it's a prisoner of war.
-Oh, we--
-It's good for morale
for people to believe
that their enemy is divided.
My team captured that Click.
It's the single biggest victory
of the Resistance.
Now...
I'd like you to write down
everything that you learned
in Los Angeles.
Tactical layout of the bloc,
the full details
of the Click operation,
including anything you may have
learned about the gauntlet.
Anything you think
might be useful
will be useful.
I want to see it, the Click.
Well, of course.
Once you prove yourselves.
I think we proved ourselves
when we brought you
the gauntlet.
[exhales]
And I'm grateful for that.
Start with the book,
then we'll talk.
[whistles]
[indistinct chatter]
It's worth the risk.
They're just people.
I don't like people.
I'm starting to get that.
Look, we're low on supplies.
We can't get a car to work
since all the gas has gone
bad, and maybe those guys
can give us a ride.
A truck is too high profile.
Well they must
know something.
They've been living out here
since the Arrival.
You don't know that.
It's going to take us
months to hike north.
Every day
on the road is a risk.
What's the harm in talking?
Besides, if it goes badly,
you can always just...
Shoot them.

I know a place

If you help us get them,
give you that ride.
So what do you think?
I don't know yet.
Vincent warned me last night
this place was political.
And when we got here
with the gauntlet,
they didn't exactly
treat him like a hero.
I know, but they have a RAP.
Do they?
I trust that guy about
as far as I can throw him.
Well, you don't like him
because you don't
like taking orders.
I don't like to take orders?
[laughs]
Look, we came a long way
to find this place.
And you heard him, they've got
a way to stay off the grid.
And a school for the kids.
Yeah, they could use
a taste of a normal life.
Halfway normal.
It's also a chance to be
a part of something big.
Can you imagine actually
talking to a RAP?
Finding out why they came here.
What it is
that they really want.
I love you.
I'm going to dig
into this camp.
See if it's
a safe place to settle.
I'll fill this out.
What if that guy
doesn't keep his promise?
Well, we brought him
something incredibly valuable.
We deserve to be a part of it.
In my experience,
deserve ain't got
nothing to do with it.
Well, a lot of my friends
died for that thing.
I'm not taking no
for an answer.
Then may God have mercy
on this camp.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm Dr. Donovan Landay,
the camp's physician.
Will Bowman.
This is Charlie, Gracie.
We offer physicals
to all the new camp members.
It's usually been a while since
people have seen a doctor.
That's good.
Long enough to make you
feel a little nervous, huh?
-She hates getting shots.
-Oh, me too.
But most of
the vaccines have expired.
So these days, I rarely
chase after kids with needles.
Why don't you two go introduce
yourselves to the teachers?
Go.
They'll be fine.
I know.
It's just we haven't left them
with anyone else
in a long time.
So, what kind of things
you treat around here?
Oh, small town stuff.
Accidents,
GI issues, women's health.
Got much experience
with combat injuries?
Well, you need me
to take a look at something?
No, not yet.
Everyone in this camp works.
The new arrivals
always start in the fields.
You should report there.
Got it.
Doctor's orders.
We call it a dead zone.
Walkers keep everyone out.
It's like
there's an invisible wall,
and if you cross it,
they shoot on sight.
Now every store outside
the zone has been stripped,
but in there,
there's plenty of supplies.
Including medicine
for your wife.
Yeah, there's a pharmacy
just across the border.
You can pick out the drugs
we need for everyone.
I'll let you two talk.
-No.
-Why not?
They're amateurs.
The moment something
goes wrong, they'll panic.
Give them a little credit.
They've survived this long.
Dumb luck
only takes you so far.
We need a ride
and we need supplies.
Two birds, one stone.
Unless you want to hike
the entire Central Valley
on two bottles of water
and a granola bar.
We'll go take
a look at the op.
But if I don't
like it, we bail.
Fair enough.
Can't tell me you're
not a little bit curious
about what might be inside.
If the RAPs are guarding it
that carefully.
Got enough
mysteries in my life.
-They're watching us.
-Yeah, so shut up.
We have to keep to ourselves.

Like I told your husband,
this is a political place.
We are all supposed

We are on the same side,

It's for the good of the camp.
We've made mistakes.

You haven't.
Um, it doesn't speak.
-Because it's dead?
-No.
It's not like that.

God damn it, Vincent.
I dragged my family hundreds
of miles across bad country

I've earned
a seat at the table.
-I agree, and you'll get it.
-When?
Hey, this may be
MacGregor's camp.
-We have all made sacrifices.
-I know.
Look.
I disobeyed orders
to come and find you

by your story.
And because I believe in the
possibilities of the gauntlet.
But it requires
a lot of experience
to navigate this camp.
Let me play this out.
