The Strain

Previously on The Strain .. I hate you!

I live in this building with a bunch of other kids. I was wondering if...

If you could bring them some of my food?

You have no idea how much this means to me.

Munchers beat us again. We're gonna have to steal a pit.

Right, the guys are in. I told them they could have

all the silver in the back of that truck. I didn't see any silver.

They don't know that. We risked our lives

taking this convoy so that you could get plutonium and we could get nothing?

Let's get out of here!

Has there been any word yet?

I have seen no one of the type you search for.

You seek me?

You are... an immortal.

My brother. He seeks your gift.

He lies near death, beyond the help of medicine.

A strix! The immortal race? For a time

I covered the guilty rash and became

quite artful with stage makeup. Our father,

which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name... and lead us

not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

How much further to Cheyenne?

250 miles. You got a plan?

Well, national guard's got an armory.

I figure we'll start looking there for supplies.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Just hold it right there, Brooks brothers.

Chilly out here, yes?

It is if your dumb ass forgot a coat.

What do you want? Information.

I am looking for two men.

Well, one man.

Vasiliy Fet?

And a half-breed named Quinlan.

So...

You have seen them.

Any idea where I might find them?

Probably somewhere east of here

looking for an airfield. Shut your goddamn piehole.

We don't owe them a thing. Sobs nearly got us killed,

and for nothing.

In that case,

I have good news and I have bad news.

The good news is I am taking that truck off your hands.

Just like that, huh?

Just like that. What's the bad news?

The bad news is...

I only need one of you to drive it.

He's a strigoi! Kill him!

Congratulations.

Tonight is your lucky night.

Jesus Christ!

I'm standing next to a fully pitted nuke. Can you be

a little more careful? We left New York

more than nine months ago. Time is of the essence.

Well, the airfield's not far. Should take us less than a day.

You're certain we'll be able to get a plane?

Certain-ish.

The guy who runs it - Dooley - had about a half a dozen

aircraft last time I heard. Good.

Ah, wouldn't start popping corks.

We have to actually see if he wants to trade.

Why would he not? All our ammunition,

food, and vehicles for just one plane is more than reasonable.

Yeah, well, Dooley...

Ain't exactly reasonable.

Former special forces. It's his way or the highway.

Then I'll show him my way.

You keep staring at me like that,

I ain't coming to New York. Seriously.

Why are you coming

seriously.

Ha ha. Look who's got jokes.

I figured I'd have a better chance

with you guys than by myself. We made a pretty good

team so far, right? Oh, really?

Mhm. oh, yeah?

You're so tough. You're so tough.

Put me down.

Put me down! Now?

I suppose we have. Whoa.

That's not cool.

Really? - Mhm.

Are you feeling OK, Quinlan?

Can I collect you some more blood?

That won't be necessary; thank you, Charlotte.

Fet, a word?

Oh, go on. I'll get you some more fresh coffee.

Why the long face, born-o? Huh?

I mean, today's the day we get to...

Leave this frozen wasteland.

Charlotte cannot come.

Excuse me? - Her usefulness has passed.

Yeah. That's not for you to decide.

This is my mission. And you wouldn't

have completed it without me or Charlotte.

For that I'm grateful. But now we must focus

on the next steps. She will only slow us down.

Charlotte has risked her life for us

more times than I can count.

So don't you dare question her commitment!

I'm not. I'm questioning yours.

Everything OK here?

Yeah. yeah, yeah, we're good.

Make sure that we are, Fet.

I found you! Catch me.

Lydia, to bed please.

Miss Richmond will be here to watch you soon.

But I want to play with Mr. Quinlan.

He'll be back soon enough.

Say good night to Mr. Quinlan.

We'll continue our games tomorrow.

We're going to the theater.

I've... Never been.

I know.

We mustn't dally. The curtain is at eight.

No one's ever accused me of dallying before.

I must've lost the time

whilst watching Lydia. My apologies.

I appreciate how good you are with her.

Hello.

She was so withdrawn

after her uncle passed, but...

Now she's opened up;

she listens to you.

Clearly, she needs a father figure in her life.

Because her true father remains a mystery?

We're nearly there.

Stay back.

Quinlan!

Invictus?

Is that you?

You've come.

And I shall come for you.

All right, all right! Let's load up, everyone,

before Q has an aneurysm.

I can think of worse things.

Hold up!

I'm coming!

Uh, can I help?

I can handle it.

Well, there's not much that you can't handle.

What's up?

Quinlan... um.

He thinks that, um... You shouldn't come to New York

but - before you say a thing - I just want you to know

that I told him that it's not his call.

You know, that, uh...

You've done more for us than anyone else.

We owe you everything. But, uh...

Then it dawned on me that, you know,

whether he wants you to stay or I want you to go or...

It doesn't really matter

because what really matters is...

What you want, you know?

So? - So...

You wanna come?

To New York? Huh?

Hell, no. - What?

I mean, you said it was a suicide mission, right?

Yeah. I.. I just...

I just thought that...

Then when we're done here, I figured that I'd

go out to my dad's cabin in Montana

and... just live off the land

at least... at least as long as I can.

Yeah, that, well... that...

That... that sounds... That sounds nice, actually.

Well, it's better than the alternative.

Right?

Yeah.

I guess.

Good.

Wait a second. Did you just break up with me? Huh? Hey!

(Indistinct speaking over loudspeaker)

That was me. Up there, on the second floor.

I could see the whole neighborhood

from my desk.

See, um... My parents coming home.

They were right there when it hit.

I looked up and they were

at the crosswalk, looking back at Liberty island.

The blast wave rolled through and...

They were just...

Gone.

Sorry.

It's OK. It's not your fault.

Thank you...

For bringing me here.

Of course. No problem.

You never talk about your parents.

I assume they're, uh... you know.

My mom is.

I'm not sure about my dad.

You don't know what happened to him?

Nope. and I don't care.

You wanna talk about it?

My mom was turned.

Shit.

My dad... thought she was gonna hurt me but...
