Synopsis[]
In the sub's Mess Hall, Luciana and Daniel use a set of cards to test Daniel's memory, with Daniel successfully picking out the matching boat card. Although Luciana is pleased, Daniel accuses her of letting him win, which Luciana denies. Luciana notices Daniel staring intently at the boat card, and he explains that he's seen it before. Luciana points out that they've played this game about ten times, but Daniel is certain that that's not it. Watching from nearby as he packs a bag, Wes warns Luciana that the others are going to leave without them. Luciana orders Daniel to keep at it until she gets back, as she can see that it's helping him. Unconvinced, Daniel tells Luciana that he should be the one helping her, but he calls Luciana by his dead daughter's name, Ofelia. Noticing Daniel's slip-up, Luciana reminds him of who she actually is and that Ofelia is no longer here. Daniel recalls that Ofelia left and instructs Luciana to be careful outside too. As Luciana leaves, Daniel continues to stare intently at the boat card.
In one of the bunk rooms, Sarah and Sherry discuss the plan for their upcoming two-day mission as they pack up. Joining the two women, Morgan asks what they're going to be up against, and Sherry tells him that Dwight reports a hundred or more walkers outside with no way of telling how many are inside. Sarah and Sherry are excited about their odds and Morgan asks Luciana how Daniel is doing as she joins them. Luciana admits that Daniel is making slow but steady progress and asks where they're going. Sherry states that they're going to help Dwight recover a stash of weapons that he had found, but Morgan thinks that it's probably best if Luciana stays behind. Sarah objects that they could use the help against the number of walkers that they're up against, but Morgan believes that Luciana helping Daniel and pushing him some more is important too: while they're going to need the weapons to get into Strand's Tower, they're also going to need Daniel's help too, as he knows how Strand thinks better than anyone. Luciana asks if Morgan thinks this is why she's helping Daniel with his psychological issues. Morgan tells her he doesn't, but they need to use everything they have to accomplish victory.
Their argument is interrupted by Wes with the news that Daniel has disappeared. Luciana guesses that Daniel has wandered into the sonar room again, but Sarah tells her that she welded the door shut after the last radiation leak. Wes tells the group that Daniel is not on the sub anymore, because the front hatch was open and a protective suit was gone. Luciana orders the others to go after the weapons while she goes after Daniel. Morgan wants them all to go instead, but Sherry argues that, if they don't leave now, they won't get to Dwight before dark. Wes refuses to let Luciana go alone and Morgan orders them both to go after Daniel and to send up a mayday if there's any trouble while Morgan, Sarah and Sherry go to help Dwight recover the weapons cache that he found.
Daniel wanders an abandoned playground, calling out for Ofelia. Investigating a moving spinning wheel, Daniel only finds a badly burned walker trapped on top of it. Daniel is attacked by another burned walker, losing his protective mask before he manages to put it down. Daniel switches to calling for his daughter over the radio before Luciana and Wes emerge from the fog looking for him. In his confused state, Daniel fails to recognize his friends for a moment, ordering them to take their masks off and firing off a warning shot before calming down. Wes determines that the air is clean anyway, so it's safe to go without their masks, and Luciana demands to know what Daniel's doing out here.
Showing Luciana the boat card, Daniel explains that Ofelia needs him. The last time that Daniel remembers seeing his daughter, he was on a boat, and he's now convinced that Ofelia is sending him a message. Daniel is out there both because of the card and because Luciana had told him on the sub that "Ofelia isn't here", which Daniel has taken to mean that she's on the boat. Luciana tries to tell Daniel that his daughter's dead, that Ofelia had died in Mexico years ago, but Daniel's insistent that Ofelia is still alive and that he saw her the day before, refusing to accept the truth. Wes and Luciana insist that Daniel's confused and, while he's doing better, Daniel is wrong about Ofelia. Daniel continues to deny that Ofelia's dead and states that, while he cares a lot about Luciana, Ofelia is his daughter, and he cares about her more than anything. Luciana's continued attempts to convince the increasingly irrational Daniel that Ofelia's gone only cause him to accuse Luciana of trying to take Ofelia's place in his life, telling her that he knows she's lonely, but she can never replace Ofelia, leaving Luciana visibly hurt.
Luciana refuses to translate the Spanish for Wes and instead decides to just go back to the sub. However, hearing a noise, Wes spots what he believes to be walkers closing in, and Luciana guesses that Daniel's gunshot must've lured them. Daniel refuses to leave without Ofelia, but Wes realizes that it's not walkers, but rather the Stalkers. Armed, the Stalkers surround the group, and Arno sarcastically greets Luciana. Another Stalker spray-paints over their masks as the Stalkers prepare to take the group with them.
The Stalkers bring Daniel, Luciana and Wes to their base at an old salvage yard, where Daniel accuses Luciana of causing their predicament by stopping his search for Ofelia, but Wes sarcastically points out that they wouldn't be here if Daniel had just stayed in the sub. In Spanish, Daniel suggests that they can take the Stalkers, but Luciana points out that they are outnumbered three to one. Recalling that he's a soldier trained by the CIA who's done things before and after, Daniel says he is not afraid of Arno's people. "What's scary is what I'm gonna have to do to them." Daniel simply laughs at his companions' looks of shock and Wes concludes that they're screwed. Arno orders the group to remove and hang up their gear, allowing them to test for themselves that it's safe. Arno explains that the Stalkers are lucky, as the wind hasn't brought anything nasty their way, and they want to keep it that way. Daniel insists that they can take them, but Luciana recognizes Sabrina amongst the Stalkers and asks if Wes recognizes these people too. Wes explains that they're Teddy's people from the Holding and Luciana knows that that won't help them make friends.
Outside, Arno, who now has an amputated left hand due to having been shot by Paul, along with Sabrina, Sage and several other Stalkers show Daniel, Luciana and Wes around the Stalkers' base on the interconnected vessels of the salvage yard while a herd growls up at them from the ground. Arno blames Alicia for the Stalkers being forced to abandon their previous two homes and live here, and Wes recalls that he and Luciana were there the first time, but Arno already knows who they are. Daniel asks why the Stalkers don't use the walls to keep the dead out, but Arno explains that, although they tried, the walls didn't hold. Letting the walkers roam the ground at least keeps the living away, with Arno noting that Strand got one thing right at the Tower.
Arno decides to question each of them one-on-one, but Daniel is only interested in finding Ofelia, against Luciana's objections. Luciana suggests that Arno let them go and they can help the Stalkers with whatever they need, but Arno finds it unlikely. Noticing Arno's gun, Daniel grabs it and turns it on Arno, while Sage and Sabrina hold back Luciana at gunpoint. Daniel demands to be allowed to go look for his daughter while Sage aggressively orders Luciana to back away from Daniel, but Arno orders him to stand down. Arno challenges Daniel to kill him, but when Daniel pulls the trigger, the gun is revealed to be empty. Another Stalker restrains a laughing Daniel while Wes realizes that the Stalkers are actually out of bullets and had only been bluffing by carrying the guns. Daniel tells Luciana that he was right, that they could've taken the Stalkers, while Arno explains that bullets are hard to come by these days and that, while empty clips work on people, the dead aren't scared that easily and it won't help the Stalkers get the Tower.
Arno reveals that they heard radio chatter from the sub, and he suggests that they stop broadcasting their plans. As a result, the Stalkers know that they've found a weapons cache, but they don't know the coordinates. Luciana refuses to tell them where to find it, but Arno warns her that they'll end up with the dead below if they don't. Staring at a nearby boat, Daniel mistakes it for Strand's destroyed yacht, The Abigail, despite the very obvious differences between the two boats, and he believes that Ofelia is on board. Arno orders his men to save Daniel for last and that Wes will go first. The Stalkers shove Daniel and Luciana into a cell on one of the boats. Luciana tries to get Daniel to stop trying to escape, but Daniel no longer believes that they have to. Stating that the boat card spoke to him, Daniel points to the other boat and tells Luciana that Ofelia is on it. Daniel ignores Luciana's attempts to convince him otherwise, calling for the guard and telling her that all he has to do now is let the Stalkers know where the weapons are, and they'll return Ofelia. Although Daniel doesn't have the coordinates, he knows more or less where Dwight is.
Sage arrives and Daniel tells him that he has some information for the man in charge that he needs. Sage threatens to throw Daniel to the walkers if he's playing another trick while Luciana objects to Daniel's course of action. Daniel fiercely tells Sage that he doesn't play tricks with his daughter's life and Sage relents. Luciana convinces Sage to bring her along as well, claiming that Daniel's English isn't as good as it used to be and that she will be needed as an interpreter. Daniel warns Luciana that she won't be able to stop him, but Luciana tries in vain to convince Daniel not to make things any worse. Daniel knows that he was hard on Luciana earlier, but he's convinced that he's right. Luciana admits that Daniel was right, that she doesn't have anyone, and hasn't since she lost Nick. However, meeting and listening to Daniel has made Luciana feel as if she's not alone and she doesn't want to lose Daniel. Daniel asks if she really means that, and Luciana explains that she's worried about what could happen to him when Daniel discovers that Ofelia is dead. Daniel reassures Luciana that he's going to find his daughter, and that none of them will be alone again when he does. Sage returns with another Stalker and leads the two out of their cell.
Arno locks Wes in a large cage over a pit of walkers and demands to know where the weapons are, threatening to lower Wes into the walkers when he refuses to answer. Wes refuses to betray his people, so Arno brings up Wes' brother Derek, reminding Wes that he had betrayed Derek and revealing that it was Derek who had found Arno and brought him into the Doomsday Cult. Arno is angry that Wes had killed his friend, but Wes tells him that Derek was his brother and Wes loved him, but Derek killed a lot of his friends, and he was going to kill a lot more. Arno states that Wes would've been alive if he'd joined the cult, but he obviously chose wrong. Reiterating his demand to know where the weapons are, Arno partially lowers Wes into the pit, but he continues to refuse to betray his friends.
Arno admits that he would've done this anyway and starts to lower Wes all the way in, but he is stopped by the arrival of Sage, Sabrina and another Stalker with Daniel and Luciana. Sage reveals that Daniel wants to make a deal and Arno raises Wes back out of the pit, although he refuses to release Wes from the cage as leverage. Daniel mockingly tells Arno that he knows how to make people talk and Arno's tactics aren't going to work. Arno states that it's worked so far and Daniel guesses that Arno probably kills everyone that gets in there, which he silently acknowledges, but if he kills Daniel and the others, he has nothing. Conceding the point, Arno asks if Daniel really knows where to find the weapons, which he confirms over Luciana's objections in Spanish. In return, Daniel asks for his daughter Ofelia and points to the boat that Daniel thinks is The Abigail. Arno truthfully tells Daniel that he has no idea what Daniel's talking about, but Daniel angrily grabs him and demands his daughter back as Sage and another Stalker try to restrain him.
Looking at the boat, Arno orders his men to let Daniel go. Arno lies that the Stalkers do have Ofelia, but Luciana tries to convince Arno not to go through with it, telling Arno that Daniel not only doesn't know where the weapons are, but he's having problems remembering what's real and what isn't. Luciana pleads with Daniel in Spanish to think of their people who are searching for the weapons and not to trust Arno who is only using him. In fluent Spanish, Arno tells them that it's not true and asks if they thought that they could fool him by speaking Spanish, but Luciana insists that they weren't trying to trick him, but speaking his native language grounds Daniel. Daniel reassures Luciana that he knows what he's doing, and Arno lies that Daniel is right and the Stalkers have his daughter on that boat. Daniel is ecstatic to have been proven right and warns Arno that he'd better not have harmed Ofelia, and asks to see her. Arno asks for the weapons first and Luciana chides him for using Daniel in such a way. However, Arno is unrepentant, as he's unwilling to be condemned to living like this. Wes states that he's seen a hell of a lot worse places than this.
"You do know what's coming, don't you? Alicia and Morgan -- they're gonna get you all killed," Arno warns ominously. Luciana asks what's coming, but Arno refuses to elaborate and instead asks Daniel where the weapons are again. Luciana asks if Arno knows what's going to happen when Daniel finds out that he's lying, but Arno reiterates that he's protecting his people, the same ones that Alicia couldn't. Arno promises that, if Daniel gives him the coordinates and they're correct, Daniel will get his daughter. Luciana tries a final time to convince her friend that Arno can't give him back his daughter, but Daniel doesn't think that he has any other choice, and he writes the coordinates down on the back of the boat card. Satisfied, Arno orders Sage to send a patrol to check it out and he warns Daniel that if Daniel is lying to him, all of Daniel's group will end up with the walkers, and he finally releases Wes.
Returned to their cell, Wes reassures his friends that he's alright and that he hasn't been bitten and he would die before giving Arno what he wanted. Daniel calls Wes a fool in Spanish, elaborating in English that Wes would've been a fool if he'd died at Arno's hands. Wes tells Daniel off for using his problems to keep hurting people, but Daniel states that he's always done what he's needed to do and no one's gonna get hurt. Luciana angrily tells Daniel that their people could be killed if the Stalkers get to the weapons cache first. Daniel reveals that he gave Arno the wrong coordinates, causing Arno to send half of his people 20 miles in the wrong direction. Wes worries that they'll just be killed when the Stalkers return, but Daniel insists that they won't be here when they get back: Arno sent half of his patrol to the site, and it takes around 24 hours just to get there and back. Wes realizes that they're facing half as many guards now and Daniel draws a knife, stating that without weapons, the Stalkers can't stop them. Daniel explains that he stole the knife off the Stalker that had shoved him up against the wall, noting that the Stalkers are very badly trained. Daniel refuses to accept that his daughter is gone and promises Luciana that he and Ofelia will thank her and she'll be welcomed into their family. Daniel tells the others that it's time to get the hell off the boat.
As Daniel lays on the floor, apparently unconscious, Wes and Luciana yell for help, drawing Sage's attention. The two tell Sage that Daniel collapsed and isn't breathing, reminding the young man that Luciana had warned the Stalkers that Daniel wasn't doing well. After Luciana tells Sage that it'll be on him if Daniel turns, he finally enters the cell to check on him. Daniel effortlessly overpowers Sage and orders the frightened young man at knifepoint to take them to the boat. Sage admits that Ofelia isn't there and he doesn't know where she is, but Daniel refuses to believe him. Wes wants to leave, but Daniel refuses to go anywhere without Ofelia. Luciana orders Sage to take them to the boat, explaining to Wes that Daniel won't leave unless he sees the truth, believing that it's the only way that Daniel will understand so that they can leave.
On the way to the other boat, Luciana questions Sage about Arno's warning and he reveals that the dead are gathering in one of the blast craters. There's bad stuff in the crater and the walkers are more dangerous now, but Sage doesn't know why Arno's so scared of them when they're stuck in the crater. Finding the boat empty, Daniel demands to know where Ofelia is, but Sage reiterates his earlier statement that Ofelia isn't here. Daniel holds Sage over the edge of the boat as the walkers below reach up towards him and Sage admits that Arno had lied about Ofelia being there because he wanted to know where the weapons are. Daniel insists that everyone is wrong and are liars and that the card was a message from Ofelia, who is on a boat. Sage and Luciana both insist that she's not, while Wes warns them that they haven't been very quiet, so their actions will be noticed soon.
Luciana pushes Daniel to accept the truth that Daniel had told her: Ofelia had died in Mexico and he'd buried her himself. Daniel sadly tells Luciana that he was looking for Ofelia to tell her who he is and apologize for his lies. In a moment of clarity, he realizes that this is why he's so confused. Sage swears that it wasn't his idea to lie to Daniel and that he didn't know what Arno was doing. However, Daniel is furious that Sage still went along with it, telling him that the mind is very fragile, easy to break and very hard to put back together. Sage pleads with Wes, saying that he knew Wes' brother, and Wes tries to ask him if Derek knew that he was at Tank Town when the cult destroyed it. Daniel slits Sage's throat before he can answer, killing Sage, and telling Wes that he's better off not knowing the answer, as the truth about people is always disappointing. After crossing the connecting plank to the bridges throughout the salvage yard, Daniel tosses it into the walker pit, leaving Luciana and Wes stranded. Daniel refuses to leave before dealing with Arno, stating that while he's upset, he's not confused. Daniel intends to make Arno pay for what he did, and he doesn't want Luciana and Wes to stop him. Daniel knows that Luciana doesn't want anything bad to happen to him and promises to be back before walking off, ignoring Luciana's protests.
Wes stands on the boat looking down at the herd below. Luciana joins him and admits that she didn't find anything that would allow them to cross. She apologizes, knowing what Wes was hoping Sage would tell him. Wes reveals that he had actually hoped that Derek knew that he was at Tank Town and launched the attack anyways. Wes killed his brother, and he can only live with that fact and not be haunted by it for the rest of his life if he knows that Derek deserved it. However, Luciana doubts that that would make Wes feel any better, but because of Daniel, they'll never know either way. Wes begins searching for another way off of the boat with Luciana.
Standing near the cage, Sabrina uses a boat hook to put down a radioactive walker on the ground below her and Arno. Arno states that it's the third one today and Sabrina informs him that the walkers are building up at the east gate. Arno instructs Sabrina to draw the walkers away and get rid of the body. Putting down the boat hook, Sabrina leaves to follow Arno's orders as he thanks her.
Left alone, Arno is ambushed from behind by Daniel and held at knifepoint. Daniel locks Arno in the cage over his protests that Daniel is making a mistake, but Daniel states that Arno's mistake was lying to him. Arno desperately points out that Daniel would do anything for his daughter and Arno was doing the same thing to protect his people. However, Daniel states that they are not Arno's family, and lowers Arno into the pit full of walkers as he had done to Wes earlier. Arno pleads with Daniel in Spanish, but Daniel only compliments his Spanish. As the cage reaches the ground, Arno furiously yells that, whoever Daniel's daughter is, she's better off without him. The walkers grab at Arno through the cage, tearing his legs through the bars and devouring them as Daniel watches.
Luciana and Wes run up and are horrified by what's happening. Daniel yells that Arno made him do this, as Wes lifts the cage holding the leader of the Stalkers. Arno comes back up, barely alive and with his legs badly chewed up. Arno tells Luciana that there's no beginning and the people Alicia was supposed to take care of are all going to die because of them. As Arno begins to lose consciousness, Luciana yells at him to wake him back up and she promises Arno that she will make sure his people are okay, but Arno needs to tell her what's coming so that she can help them. With the last of his strength, Arno reveals that the dead in the Pit are being let out by someone. They're too dangerous to touch or get close to. He says the only way to survive is to get to the Tower as he dies from his injuries. Wes stabs him in the head with the boat hook to prevent him from reanimating.
Daniel defends his actions, blaming Arno's lies about Ofelia being alive. Luciana expresses understanding over his actions while Wes tells Daniel that he wouldn't lose sleep over Arno's death, since Arno had tried to do the same thing to him. Daniel tells Luciana that this is the second time that he's almost gotten her killed and Luciana should leave him here. Luciana refuses, telling Daniel that she understands why he did what he did, but Arno manipulated him, which is why Daniel still needs her help. Daniel states that no one knows his real background, the part of his life that Ofelia never knew and that he couldn't explain to her. However, Luciana does, she's seen it and she's still here and Daniel wants to know why. Luciana tells Daniel that we all make mistakes, and an emotional Daniel proclaims that they are now family, which an equally emotional Luciana thanks him for. Wes asks Luciana what they're going to do about the Stalkers and the radioactive walkers, reminding her that Arno had said that they can't touch or go near those walkers. Luciana proclaims that everyone needs to leave immediately.
Luciana addresses the remaining Stalkers, acknowledging that they've been enemies in the past and that they've each hurt people that the other cared about. However, they all need each other now more than ever to escape this land and the dead. They need to fight Strand and take his Tower, and only then will they have a new life and a new beginning together. After a moment's hesitation, Sabrina says that it's what Teddy would've wanted, and the Stalkers begin packing up to join Morgan's group, the conflict between the two groups finally at an end. Wes wonders if they can really trust the Stalkers, as they killed the group's leader, but Luciana reminds her friend that these are the people that Alicia had wanted to join them. While Alicia couldn't convince Arno, he's dead now and the rest are more agreeable to the idea.
A pessimistic Daniel tells Luciana that none of it will matter when the Stalkers realize that Luciana can't deliver what she has just promised them. Luciana denies this, certain that they can take the Tower with the Stalkers' help. Daniel points out that the Stalkers couldn't get it when they had a nuclear warhead, but Luciana tells Daniel that they have something that the Stalkers didn't: Daniel, someone who knows what Strand is thinking before Strand does. Daniel is doubtful, as he can't even get simple things straight, revealing that he lost Skidmark before this mess began and he almost got them killed when he left the sub. Luciana points out that Daniel freed them from that prison and made it to the boat. Daniel states that it was his need to get to Ofelia that gave him focus.
Realizing what Luciana is thinking, Wes pulls her aside and Luciana tells him that all of these people and everyone else back at the sub are depending on them to make it to the Tower. Against Wes' objections, Luciana insists that this is the only way, as Strand has outsmarted everyone else so far and Daniel will get himself killed if he's out there any longer. Wes refuses to have any part in it and leaves. Reluctantly, Luciana lies to Daniel that Arno had told her before he died that Ofelia's alive, and where she is. Daniel reminds Luciana that she had told him that Ofelia is dead, but Luciana claims that that was what she thought before, and Arno knew where she is: the Tower. Luciana claims that she didn't tell Daniel before because she was afraid that Daniel would go to the Tower alone and get himself killed trying to get in. Luciana is only telling him now because of what Daniel did here and, if knowing that Ofelia is alive gives him clarity, then Daniel can lead everyone and take the Tower from Strand. Daniel tells her that, if this isn't true, it will break him. Despite the potential consequences of her actions, Luciana lies to Daniel. He promises that they will get into the Tower and he, Luciana and Ofelia will be together always. While Daniel is excited about this, Luciana is visibly haunted by her deception and manipulation of her friend.
Outside, Wes informs Luciana that the Stalkers are ready to go. Wes recalls his and Derek's saying that people are people, which means that people suck. Strand and Alicia had tried to make Wes see things differently when they found him and they succeeded for a little while, but they are now at each other's throats, while Morgan hasn't done much better. While what Luciana was doing for Daniel had made Wes want to question his beliefs and think that there might still be some kind of hope left for everyone, her actions just now proved that they are no better than everyone else. Wes hands Luciana his Geiger counter so that she can get everyone to the sub, and reveals that he's not coming back with them. Wes wishes Luciana luck, admitting that he doesn't know where he's going to go. Wes just knows that he can't be around someone who is pretending to be something that they're not. While Daniel is confused and not right, he can't help it, but Luciana knows exactly what she is doing. Wes leaves and Luciana decides not to go after him, knowing that they're unlikely to change his mind.
In the sub's Mess Hall, Dwight, Sarah and Morgan unpack the impressive arsenal of weapons that they've retrieved from the weapons cache that Dwight had found. Dwight is glad that it worked out, and Morgan tells him that these weapons could make all of the difference. Morgan wants to do an inventory of the weapons while Dwight notes that they just need soldiers to carry them. Sherry enters with Luciana, Daniel and the Stalkers, with the news that the Stalkers want to help them. Morgan asks about Wes, but Luciana informs him that Wes isn't coming and while she hopes that Wes is okay, Luciana thinks that he needs some time. Daniel is pleased that they've found the weapons and tells Morgan that now all they need to do is start planning how to overthrow Victor Strand.
Wes walks onto the platform outside of the Tower and makes contact with one of the Rangers inside. Wes asks to talk to Strand and offers to make a deal with Strand to save the Tower, betraying the rest of his friends.
