At the raiders boat, Wes is venting to Tobin in his office.

Wes: Fuck! That was a fucking disaster! For three of those fucking people!

Tobin: I told you! I warned you! Now, those motherfuckers got Griffin. He knows too much.....

Melanie walks into the office.

Melanie: Wes....what happened?

Wes turns to Tobin, then at Melanie.

Wes: We only got three of them. Samantha, Chloe and Sylvester.

Melanie: Samantha? She's here?

Wes: Yes.....

Samantha: What about everyone else?

Tobin: They're still back at that community. They killed Freddie, Charlotte and Bakari.

Melanie sighs in sadness.

Wes: They've also captured Griffin....and my son.

Melanie: What? Wes, we gotta save them. Who knows what they'll do to them!

Wes: We will. Once we leave and deliver these three back to our camp in San Francisco, we're coming back, and we'll take the rest of them.

In Berrington, the sun is rising as Kyle and Sarah get a better look around the courtyard. James was sitting down, holding Cassandra's hand. Anna was leaning over Brigg's dead body, crying and holding his hand, Sarah looks behind her to see Bryan and Connor were digging a grave for Brigg. Cassandra and James go over to Anna.

Cassandra: I'm so sorry, Anna.

Anna: When I was little.....my parents died...and Brigg looked after me. People said he was a prick, but he was the only thing I had to a Dad....and now...now he's gone. Stabbed in the throat by some fucking asshole who didn't even know him.

Cassandra leans down and places a comforting arm around Anna's shoulder.

Cassandra: Brigg...he...he gave his life so we can keep living on.

Anna: I know that, Cassandra, but it doesn't make it easier.

Cassandra: He'd want us to rescue our people....

James: She's right. That's how we honor your uncle.

Anna: He'd want us to kill the people who took them.

James sighs and then gives a look. John comes up to Kyle and Sarah.

Kyle: So?

John: Griffin's tied up in the basement. He passed out from the pain. Rocky and Shawn are with him now.

Sarah: And the boy?

John: He's in the admin building. I think Rachel and Caleb are with him.

Kyle: Thanks, John.

Peter walks up and then kneels to Anna, taking her hand.

Peter: Hey, baby...it's time for us to bury Brigg and say our goodbyes.

Anna wipes her tears.

Anna: Okay...

Brie, Connor, Bryan and Alicia walk up to them.

Alicia: I'll help you...

Anna quickly stands up and shoves Alicia down.

Anna: You don't fucking touch him! He's dead because of you!

Alicia falls on her back. Margaret steps in and restrains Anna.

Margaret: Hey, hey, stop. This isn't helping!
