- MAN: We need to hurry.
- Charlie. She's sick.
He needs surgery.
That's your kid, isn't it?
When Finch wakes up,
we're going to take him away
from this place.
Her name is Shrike. She works for PADRE.
He wanted her to find a way to
stop the effect of walker bites.
- What kind of treatment?
- Radiation.
It was worse than dying from the bites.
I have faith you'll
get it right this time.
I'm going to kill you!
GIRL: I want to be a part
of the future PADRE's building.
PADRE: I'm glad to hear that.
Can you pull over?!
WOMAN: Morgan, go!

Good.
Sorry about the sedative,

How long are you gonna keep me here?
Haven't you taken enough blood?
We've moved beyond studying your blood.

It'll be easier for Blue Jay

You're part of this, too.
Not by choice.
You the one who had them drawing
my blood all those years?
It wasn't me.
I didn't even know
you were alive, Madison,
until Shrike just gave me your records.
What happens now?
I've done everything I can
to put her off.
From what? What is she gonna do to me?
[GROWLING CONTINUES]
Shrike has ideas
on how to heal Carrion bites.
They're based on Alicia surviving a bite
as long as she did.
Jesus.
[GROWLING CONTINUES]
And now she wants to test it.
That's probably why
she was collecting your blood.
She thought maybe it was
something besides the radiation,
something hereditary.
Could she be right?
Anything's possible, but there's a
there's a boy who seems to be
responding to the radiation,
but it hasn't even been a week.
If I don't do this, Shrike will,
and your chances of it
working are better with me.
[GROWLING CONTINUES]
Can I ask you a favor?
Anything.
There's a file back on the island.
A file?
It's got the names of the kids
I took when I was a Collector.
Not the names PADRE gave them,
but their real names.
And where I took them from.
What do you want me to do with it?
What I promised Mo I'd do.
Help track down these kids' parents.
Every good thing I've tried to
since I've been at PADRE
has blown up in my face.

Wow.
Cool.
Man.
We shouldn't be in here.
There weren't any guards outside.
- PADRE: What are you doing in here?!
- [BOTH GASP]
We need to get out of here.
[LAUGHS] "What are you doing in here?"
Dad. Not funny.
You should have seen your faces.
Yeah, we did, in that.
Which, by the way, is creepy.
It's not so bad.
It lets me keep an eye on things
when I'm in meetings.
Also, you've gotta get that mic fixed.
Yeah, you're gonna freak
people out with that.
Sergeant Brenner says it's probably
just a faulty wire.
I'll get it taken care of.
You really have to go today?
I do.
Why?
[SIGHS] Come with me.
I want to show you guys something.
Come on.
A woodpecker?
KRENNICK: Look closer.
The red marking on its head.
It's a middle-spotted woodpecker.
So? What's the big deal?
Remember what your mom said
when she gave me these?
"So you'll always see what's coming".
When I looked through them
and saw that bird this morning,
felt like she was trying
to tell us something.
What?
That we were gonna be okay here.
These birds, they live in families.
They cooperate to raise their young.
If they can do it, so can we.
General Krennick,
should we load up, sir?
Give us a minute.
I hate it when you leave the island.
That's the way we're gonna help
people rebuild.
How?
The same way we built this place.
The shipping containers.
Each one is filled with enough
supplies for folks to rebuild.
It's dangerous out there.
I mean, Atlanta was bombed. And L.A.
We need to enact
our distribution protocols.
We need to seed new communities, Ben.
That's the way the program was designed.
But how do you even know
there's still people out there?
- Right.
- You remember Elias?
Senator Vasquez?
We made contact with him yesterday.
He and his staff are in a bunker
beneath the Franklin Hotel in Galveston.
They're safe.
So then, why can't you
do the same thing?
Why can't you stay here
on the island, until it's safer?
Look, we'll never survive here
if it's just us cut off from the world.
What'll happen when our supplies run out
if we don't have trading partners?
Other communities to rely on?
[SIGHS] Don't worry.
You're gonna be safe here.
Remember, if we communicate by radio,
I want you to use those
code names I gave you.
- The bird names?
- It's for your safety.
I'm Crane, right?
That's right.
Why do I have to be Shrike?
'Cause a shrike may be small,
but it is brutal when it needs to be.
Doesn't hesitate
to look after its family.
I'll be right back.
I want you to keep your brother safe
while I'm gone, you hear me?

After everything PADRE
gave you, you betrayed him.
This is how you're gonna
make it up to him.
And you won't be alone.
Nightingale is gonna be
right here next to you.
As soon as we can find him.
Why is PADRE doing this?
The same reason he does everything.
To ensure what he's built endures.

Do you realize how far we are
from the rest of the troop?
I need to do this.
Do what?
We need to see what's in there.
[GROWLING CONTINUES]
SHRIKE: Years from now, when
people look back and wonder
how PADRE was able to stop infections
from Carrion bites from killing,
- they'll remember today.
- [GROWLING CONTINUES]
And you'll be a hero.
I think Finch might be inside.
Finch?
He never came back from his surgery.
Because he's still recovering.
You really believe that?
Why wouldn't I?
After his transport boat got attacked,
PADRE sent guards after him.
I checked the logs, Dove.
It says they went to
the old railroad museum,
but there was nothing there.
I think someone must've moved
the train car here.

It's good for the mental focus.
You want some?
I'm good.
[SLURPS] Mm.
I'm not proud of what I did.
You know, who I became.
I just want a chance to make it right.
You and me both.
So maybe we can help each other.
What makes you so sure?
We've been looking for
that damn island for years.
If what you're saying is correct,
you're the best and only shot
these folks have
to get their children back from PADRE.
They're all parents?
Mm-hmm.
How'd you wind up with them?
Seven years ago,
Morgan told PADRE we were out there,
and they found us
and brought everyone
to a ship to assess us
before deciding where
we were gonna be sent
according to our skills and usefulness.
Some people went to the mainland.
Others went to the island.
Others, I don't know where they went.
PADRE thought that
I was too old to be of any use,
so they dumped me in the swamp.
[SIGHS] Sorry, Daniel.
Eh. He was right about one thing.
I was old.
But he wrong about everything else,
because being old
doesn't mean to be useless.
I can take care of myself.
So could everyone in the group.
Except for Charlie.
What happened to Charlie?
Morgan didn't mention it?
He didn't get a chance to tell me much
before PADRE figured out
what we were up to
and separated us.
She was very sick.
She had become like a daughter
to me by then.
I said that I would stay with her
till the end, so she wouldn't
have to die alone,
like Ofelia.
And I broke my promise.
I wasn't there for her.
I wasn't there for Luciana, either.
I'm sorry it happened that way.
I know Morgan would be too.
I had no purpose.
And then I found these folks,
this angry, desperate group of people
in search of their kidnapped children.
It motivated me,
gave me a reason to stick around.
So I organized and trained them,
turned them into an army.
Strong, getting stronger,
because there's more of them out there.
I lost my family, Madison.
But I'm gonna fight
with everything I got
to help these folks get back to theirs.
Maybe you haven't lost everyone.
The files.
It's not just the kids in there.
Luciana, Charlie
you can find out what happened to them.
DOVE: We can use
the prefect transport boat
to get back to the island.
Dove, are you sure you want
to go down this road?
Maybe you should stop asking questions
and begin answering some.
Like what?
Like who else knows
you're PADRE's daughter?
Not many.
How come your father separates
children from their parents,
but he doesn't do the same to himself?
You don't get it.
Yeah, sure we do.
He's a hypocrite,
like every other asshole
that runs places like this.
No, he's not.
The way this place is run,
the way we do things,
PADRE believes in it.
Has for a very long time.
What you're saying doesn't make sense.
She's right. Why is
he sacrificing people
for an experiment
that will never pay off?
It will pay off.
It already is.
Look at Finch.
MADISON: What happened to your father?
Why'd he build a place like this?
Hey. Come on. We gotta go.
Where did you come from?
Before you were at PADRE.
I don't know.
Why do you care?
Do you know me?
I've never seen you before in my life.
HAWK: Move away from the boat. Now.
♪
Let her go.
You don't understand.
She's PADRE's daughter.
You've been lied to.
PADRE has been ripping families apart,
and yet, he has kept his daughter
by his side all this time.
It's true, Hawk.
She told us herself.
Maybe you should focus more
on getting me out of here.
Dove, you and Wren don't have
to go along with this anymore.
- We're going to the island.
- Why?
So PADRE can give us some answers.
Who are you to question PADRE?
It's not just her, Hawk.
I've seen some shit today.
At the train.
PADRE has a lot to explain.
You're not thinking straight.
I can say the same for you.
All these people
lost their children to PADRE.
And there are more of them.
Maybe your own parents.
Our parents abandoned us.

kind of lifts the veil on PADRE.

Come with me.
I want to show you guys something.
A woodpecker?
So? What's the big deal?
These birds, they live in families.
They cooperate to raise their young.
If they can do it, so can we.
CHAMBLISS: It was all rooted
in connection,
the very thing that PADRE now
is trying to eradicate.
I want you to use those
code names I gave you.
Why do I have to be Shrike?
'Cause a shrike may be small,
but it is brutal when it needs to be.
It doesn't hesitate
to look after its family.

is kind of unpack
how something with such
kind of benevolent beginnings
could be perverted in such a way
that it could be kind of
this unrecognizable force
that we know in the present day.
