Enjoy.

Some days you try to do good.

Some days you survive.

Then there are other days when you pray

pray to forget there's no mercy for the living.

Like so many billions of souls, the past is gone.

But you try not to think about it.

But sometimes our darkest moments

hold the key to our future.

The Man.

Yes.

No.

Just one more.

24 hours.

That depends on the locals.

I'll try.

But mercy has a different meaning out here.

This will all be over soon.

Afternoon, fellow survivors.

There's no need for your weapons. We mean you no harm.

I'm looking for a Doctor Harold Teller.

Perhaps you know him.

He's five foot eight. Blond.

As you can see,

he's the last name on my list.

All the others are accounted for.

It's very important I speak with him.

Doctor Harold Teller.

We don't know anybody by that name.

Well that's odd.

He was the Founder and CEO of Mercy Sciences here.

Same company you all seem to work for.

You're him. The Man.

You're the one who's kidnapped all those people.

Nobody's ever seen them again.

All those people off your list.

You're nothing but an executioner.

That's totally uncalled for.

I've been completely professional up to this point.

My methods have been exaggerated,

my motives misunderstood.

I just need to speak with the good doctor.

How bout some ID?

You got a badge?

Badge?

It's the Apocalypse.

I don't need a badge.

I work for very serious people.

It's important to them that they speak with Doctor Teller.

So important,

I'm authorized to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

You're the one that killed all those engineers.

At the power plant.

They chose their fate.

I just delivered it.

There's still time for you to make a different choice.

Bring me Doctor Teller.

Cleanup on aisle nine.

Don't worry about that. Just a little recycling.

As I was saying.

It's imperative

for your sakes, and for humanity's, that I speak

with Doctor Teller.

He's dead.

Really?

Was he mercied in the last 24 hours? Because

I have this drone photo

showing him standing right about where you are now.

Taken yesterday.

Does this belong to any of you?

He's my brother.

Sorry to hear that.

If you hurt him, I'll kill you.

I've been instructed by the people I work for

to be merciful when possible.

That's not my forte,

but here goes.

Tell the good doctor I'll be back in 24 hours.

If he's not waiting for me,

Nature-Boy here is the first one to die.

24 hours, Doctor Teller.

Or be held accountable.

What are you gonna do when he comes back tomorrow?!

What then, Doctor Teller?!

Are you just gonna let them kill him?!

‭-

Hey guys, look what I found.

Shhh.

Puppies and kittens.

‭

)))

Ok. Alright, there you go.

Where'd this come from?

Get away from him. I found him.

Was anybody with him?

He said something about a doctor.

The Man gonna kill them.

What?

He's gonna kill them.

You kill man.

Oh no, no, no. We no kill man. We on mission.

Scram, kid.

Caw.

He just caw at me?

Murphy. Get Lucy some water.

Can you get this one some too?

Your thirsty, sweetheart?

Poor kid doesn't even know how to drink out of a cup.

Must've been four or five when all this started.

Apocalypse is all he knows.

Where's your mama and your papa?

Just sister.

Okay. Is she with the others? The ones that are in trouble?

Yes.

The Man will kill them if the doctor won't talk to them.

Doctor? Who's this doctor?

Did I mention that we are on a mission?

Yeah. We got Lucy to think about too.

Yeah,

but we can't just let some man kill a whole bunch of people.

Sure we can. We do it all the time.

I vote we help the kid.

As much as it pains me to say it,

Blue Face is right.

We're on a mission.

Okay, we don't know what we'd be walking into.

And we can't take a chance like that.

So what are we gonna do? Just leave him?

Can we talk about this?

Hey!

You much as twitch,

and brains will be the last thing you think about.

We're good. I swear. I just want my gun back.

That little thief over there stole my gun.

Ask him. That's mine.

That his gun?

Caw.

Sorry. He was raised by crows.

I mean really, he was raised by

Now you freeze.

Tell him to drop my gun.

Get off her!

‭

10K in the middle of all that?

Stop it! Get off of her.

Hey, hey, hey. That's enough! Fight's over! Hey, hey, hey.

Hey. Hey,

Fight's over. Fight's over. Girl, you better

Ok? Calm down.

Leave him alone. He's just a kid!

He's more like a wild child.

Time out, Mowgli. Shhh. Hey. Stop struggling, okay?

Stop. Hey. Stop struggling. Okay? Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Stop trembling. We're good.

Okay? You're safe, okay? Okay. That's it.

Alright, that's it, right?

Everybody, just chill out.

Nobody's gonna get hurt. Nobody's gonna get mercied.

We're just gonna talk. Okay?

You wanna tell me what this child is so afraid of?

There's a man

going around with a list of names looking for people.

One of the names is a scientist

hiding among the survivors we're with. Doctor Teller.

What does The Man want with the people on the list?

Nobody knows. They disappear.

So where's The Man now?

I dunno.

Said he was coming back in the morning.

If this Teller guy wasn't waiting for him,

he would kill my brother.

Then all the rest of us, one by one, till he finds the doctor.

How'd you get away?

Caw!

Caw, caw caw.

Did you catch any of that?

No. He lost me at caw.

So what does this Man fella got against doctors?

People say he's some kind of avenging angel.

Making people pay for the Apocalypse.

Well somebody should pay for all this.

Where are the survivors?

Yeah, they got vehicles.

We could use some transpo.

And we're down to puddle water and orange peels.

Is this the part where I drop my pants

and show you the tattoo on my ass?

You know, the one that says, "never get off the boat."

Keep your pants on. Okay?

We're just gonna check it out.

She said The Man's not coming back till tomorrow,

which gives us plenty of time to get out of Dodge

if we don't like what we find.

Okay.
