In the RV, Nathan is ranting.

Nathan: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Walter: Okay, we need to talk about what that was back there!

James: Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit....I-I'm sorry.

Ashley: It's okay, James.

Walter: Is it? We need to figure out what just happened. We just lost another home.

Billy: Well, we're lucky to have this RV and nobody is dead.

Nathan: Nora's fucking head is split open! We need to stop and treat!

Nora: I'm fine, Nathan! Really.

Kyle: They attacked us, because we killed Miguel.

Nathan: Well, shit, Kyle, if you hadn't-

Sarah: Nathan, this isn't his fault!

Nathan: Sarah, stay of this!

Nora: Nathan, no.....it's not his fault.....I was the one who killed Miguel....

Nathan: Nora.....

Nora: I'm sorry....I-I couldn't risk it.....

Billy: It's getting dark....

Nathan: So, what do you suggest we do?

Kyle: Pull over and stop the RV so we can get some rest.

Nathan: No.....we keep going.....find something.....anything.....until we reach Midtown Manhattan.....

Walter: Midtown Manhattan? The fuck we going to Midtown Manhattan for?

Kyle: That's where Miguel said our medicine and weapons were....so that's where we're headed.

Walter: That's a long ass fucking drive, dude!

Kyle: You see any other options?

Nora is taking a moment to catch her breath.

Nathan: Are you all right?

Nora: I'm fine.

Nathan: Everyone get some rest.....it's going to be a long ass trip...

Kyle walks back as Ashley is sitting with Billy while Walter stands up with his hands leaning on the sink. Kyle sits down and sighs, before Sarah walks over and lays down.

Sarah: Fuck....

Kyle: Yeah...that's how I feel.

Sarah: I miss Dante.....I miss Colin.....I miss my Dad.....

Kyle: So do I......you know, back in Cratersville, your dad, Dante and Colin were about the only men who seemed to trust me....

Sarah: Billy trusts you....Nora does....so do I.....

Kyle: Your brother doesn't.

Sarah: He'll start too....

Kyle: what about Ashley?

Sarah: She's still deciding....but she'll come around....can I lay on your lap?

Kyle: Think your brother would like that?

Sarah: Eh...

Sarah rests her head on Kyle's shoulder as Kyle gives a look of concern on what to do next. Nathan looks back and gives a stern look towards Kyle. The next morning, Nathan stops the RV.

Nathan: Shit....

A tree is blocking their path as Kyle, Walter, Nora, James, Billy, Sarah and Ashley walk up to the front.
