James puts on his goggles over his eyes, covering them from the snow.
Sarah: Can't see shit with this snow storm.
Kyle: But that means Taker's can't see us.
Kyle, James and Sarah sneak through courtyard, avoiding any Takers in the way or taking them out quietly. Eventually, Kyle, James and Sarah manage to make it to the train hangar and manage to sneak their way into the control turn table room. Taker members attack the three, but Kyle and Sarah manage to hold them off while James turns the turntable on. James joins the gunfight and in the midst of the fight, propane tanks are hit that cause an explosion, which causes the floor beneath the turntable control room to collapse. Kyle, James and Sarah fall to the floor below.
Sarah: Shit, that was close!
Kyle, James, and Sarah recover.
James: Look! There's a manual drive on the platform! It's gonna be hard to turn it that way, but at least it'll get the hard part done and over with!
Kyle, James and Sarah fight to the platform while James enters the train and gets to the front of the train.
James: Okay, how the fuck do I drive this thing?!
While James tampers with the train controls, more Taker guards arrive, but Kyle instantly guns them down with the assault rifle.
Kyle: They're down!
Sarah: Kyle, give me a hand here!
Kyle and Sarah turn the manual drive lever, allowing the train to be free. James starts the engine and the train moves. Kyle and Sarah manage to jump on as James pulls on the accelerator.
Taker: They're taking the train!
Taker: They're gonna ram the fucking gate!
Kyle and Sarah join James at the bridge of the train. Sarah laughs.
Sarah: We did it!
Sarah hugs Kyle, but suddenly, movement is heard on top of the train and a flash grenade is dropped into the bridge.
Kyle: Shit!
The flash grenade explodes. After the flash, Kyle awakens to find him, Sarah and James surrounded by Takers with their weapons aimed.
Taker Officer: Base, we've apprehended the engineer with his friends! Kyle Desipich and his wife! Over!
The officer's radio is broadcasting feedback. As this is happening, Kyle looks up to one of the Takers, who winks at him.
Taker Officer: Roger that, base!
The Taker Officer turns to the other Takers.
Taker Officer: All right....the engineer's gonna be our prisoner. We could use a man of his skill....as for these two, kill them.
The two Takers nods and aim their weapons at Kyle, but suddenly, the two Takers aim their weapons at the other two Takers and shoot.
Taker Officer: What the fuck are you doing?!
The two other Taker grabs the Taker officer and his accomplice and force them on their knees while the other female Takers pull out their knives at put it to the others throats.
Joseph: Get on your knees!
Rocky: Get down, bitch!
Marcus: Shut up!
Cassandra: Be smart.
The Takers holding the officer and the accomplice at gunpoint take off their disguises, revealing to be Shawn, Caleb, Marcus, Rocky, Joseph, Cassandra and Margaret. Rachel, Jenny and Abigail walk onto the bridge of the train, before Kyle laughs and helps Sarah.
Kyle: You're a sight for sore eyes.
Shawn: Tell me about it.
Taker Officer: Goddammit! You're all fucking dead! There's a squad of twenty Takers who's about to ambush this train up ahead. You won't make it.
Caleb: Did they have clothes like this?
The Taker Officer looks at the clothes as he recoils in horror.
Taker Officer: Shit....
Rocky: Yeah, it was more about fourty guys.
Joseph: So, you guys found a working train? This is incredible!
Rachel: I can't believe this....shit!
Margaret: Your Dad never told you about this train, Rachel?
Rachel: No, he didn't. He must've always had this as a backup just in case shit got bad here.....which in case point, definitely has.
Shawn turns to James.
Shawn: So, you little shit-sniffer, after all this time you finally found something good.
James: Uh....honestly, yeah.....
Shawn: All because you wanted to find a goddamn signal.
Jenny: Actually, Shawn....your brother was right.
Cassandra: What?
Kyle: The Takers were using a signal jammer to block out communications from outside of Taker city.
Sarah: They were also executing other people! People who were just trying to survive! From other cities! Men, women and children!
Taker Officer: Because you people killed our leader!
The Taker Officer turns to Rachel.
Taker Officer: You....you betrayed us and killed your own father for this fucking wasteland trash!
Marcus hits the Taker Officer in the back of the head.
Marcus: I told you to shut the fuck up!
Margaret: Marcus.....
Cassandra looks at James, before she turns to Kyle.
Jenny: What's the play here, guys?
Shawn: Well, we've got no moves left....the Takers aren't going to let this go.....this might be our only chance to get the hell out of this city once and for all.
Kyle ponders before a train horn up ahead is heard.
Kyle: What the hell is that?!
Shawn: James?
James: I don't know.
Abigail turns to the Taker Officer.
Abigail: Hey, asshole. What is that? Down the road?!
Taker Officer: The Takers have called the Ampere. It's a train that has mini-guns....it's to stop any trespassing motherfuckers from stealing our train. You're all fucked!
Kyle sighs and turns to James.
Kyle: James? Can you see anything down the road?
James: The road seems good....at least until the hundred click mark...
Kyle: Is there a safe place we can stop nearby?
James: There should be!
Joseph: Yeah, but if that other train is as bad as this asshole claims it is , then we'd better get the fuck out of here! Fast!
Kyle addresses the rest of the survivors.
Kyle: Alright, guys. We're about to steal a very important thing to the Takers. We're taking a long shot, but....this might be a way to finally find someplace better out here. It might be a dangerous journey.....if y'all wanna back out, here's your chance.
The rest of the survivors look at each other and nod.
Rocky: I got nothing better to do, so why pass on a kick-ass journey across the wasteland with Kyle Desipich.
Rachel: I'm stuck with you guys....I'm in.
Abigail: Me, too.....
Caleb: We're not splitting up. Not again.
Shawn: I think the group's made their choice, Kyle.
Sarah: You know me. Til death due us part.
Kyle nods.
Kyle: Okay....
Marcus: Kyle, what do you want to do with these four Takers?
Kyle: What they were gonna do to me and Sarah. Kill them.
Taker Officer: NO!
Rocky: Get up!
Marcus sighs while James shakes his head in disapproval, before Marcus, Cassandra, Margaret and Rocky pull the pleading Taker Officer and three other Takers outside and brutally execute them. Afterwards, Rocky, Marcus, Margaret and Cassandra step back into the bridge of the train.
Rocky: The trash has been taken out.
Marcus looks at Rocky and rolls his eyes.
Marcus: Dude....
Rocky: What? It was funny.
Kyle: All right....
Kyle turns to James.
Kyle: Full steam ahead!
Kyle turns to Sarah.
Kyle: You okay?
Sarah nods.
Sarah: I am....
Sarah's eyes filter to Rachel, who steps outside as James drives the train. Sarah nods to Rachel.
Sarah: I'm gonna go talk to the girl, okay?
Kyle: Okay....
Sarah steps outside of the side of the moving train and approaches Rachel.
Sarah: Hey, you okay?
Rachel sighs.
Rachel: It's just....once I leave here, I'm never coming back. I was born here, Sarah. I lived here my whole live and then I ran away and ran into you guys.....I guess my Dad got so paranoid that people would figure out that he was a terrible father that he created a radio jammer....I still can't believe it.....and the Takers....they killed all those people who were just scavenging because of us, because of me!
Sarah: Rachel....
Sarah touches Rachel's shoulder.
Sarah: That is not on you.....okay?
Rachel: But I'm the one who killed my Dad, remember? If I hadn't done that, if he was still alive, he would've called the Takers off....
Suddenly, another train horn is heard. The sound causing several birds to fly off.
Caleb: Uh-oh.
In the bridge, Cassandra, Kyle, Shawn, Caleb, Rocky, Marcus, Joseph, Jenny, Margaret and Abigail all prepare for a fight as Sarah and Rachel look. After a tense moment, another armored Taker train with a pair of razor teeth painted at the front bursts through the building and rams into the stolen Taker train.
Rachel: Whoa!
Sarah: Holy fuck!
The survivors are knocked down by the impact as Sarah and Rachel then enter the bridge with the others.
Ampere Pilot: Stop the fucking engine immediately and come out with your hands above your heads!
On the side of the train, a cockpit with a gun turret opens as the survivors notice this.
Kyle: Shit!
Shawn: Down! Get the fuck down!
Jenny: Holy shit!
Rocky: Jesus H. Christ!
The gun turret opens fire as the survivors duck and take cover.
Ampere Pilot: That was a warning shot! If you don't comply, we will shoot to kill!
Rocky: Motherfucker. That's some armor! And look at the goddamned machine guns on that bitch!
Kyle: It's a fucking Zeus Corps train! How the hell did the Takers get their hands on that?!
Shawn turns to James.
Shawn: You happy now, James?! Is this what you were hoping for?!
James: What the fuck are you yelling at me for, dick?!
Shawn: Because you had to go and look for a goddamned signal!
Cassandra: At least he did something, Shawn! You sat around in the dirty subway and didn't do shit!
The Ampere gun turret opens fire again, hitting Caleb in the shoulder.
Caleb: Agh! Jesus!
Jenny: Caleb!
Margaret slides over to Caleb.
Marcus: You good, brother?!
Ampere Pilot: That was your last fucking warning! Stop the goddamned engine immediately!
Rocky: Caleb, you good?!
Caleb: Yeah, just a scratch!
Cassandra talks into the Taker radio.
Cassandra: Okay, okay! We are stopping, but I gotta say, our brakes are not in great condition!
Kyle: Cassandra, what the hell are you doing?!
Cassandra turns to Kyle.
Cassandra: Buying us time....
Cassandra turns to James.
Cassandra: James, start slowing down. Make them think we're gonna surrender...
James: Okay...
James slowly starts pulling on the brakes.
Ampere Pilot: Ah, finally some good brains! Now keep braking until it comes to a complete stop!
Cassandra turns to the other survivors.
Cassandra: Okay, any ideas?
Margaret: Your husband's the one who's usually with the good plans.
James: Her husband is driving a fucking train right now and can't think at the moment!
Abigail: Well, we gotta do something, cause they're gonna fucking kill us.
Kyle: Everyone calm down!
Rocky: Grenades won't do shit against armor like that...
Marcus: What about the inside?
Jenny: We don't have enough explosives....
Joseph: We could put everything we have in their firebox...
Rachel: That could work.....
James: That will work!
Shawn: So, who's gonna do it?
Kyle: I'll do it.
Sarah: Why you?
Kyle: Who else?
Shawn: You need back up! I'm going with you.
Kyle: All right. Shawn and I will leap over as soon as we slow down! Everyone else distract them in the meantime....
Kyle and Shawn follow Caleb and Rocky to the boiler level of the train.
Rocky: Plastic explosive, the real shit!
Caleb: We will give you cover....
Rocky hands Kyle the explosives. James talks to the Ampere pilot.
Ampere Pilot: Y'all better cut the shit, assholes! You people have nowhere to go!
Kyle and Shawn manage to jump on the back of the train, before the two climb onto the back of the train. Kyle and Shawn slide on the side of the train and Kyle pulls a Taker on the side out of the train. Kyle and Shawn then sneak aboard the train and sneak their way to the front of the train, just as the Takers are preparing to open fire on the survivors train.
Ampere Pilot: Times up, assholes! What's it gonna be?!
James: Easy! We're trying to slow down, but the brakes on this thing are shit....
Jenny: This is going to turn to shit, soon.
Cassandra: What the hell are Shawn and Kyle doing?
Rocky: Yeah, they better hurry up.
Just as the Takers prepare to open fire, the survivors aim their weapons at the Ampere with Margaret equips her sniper rifle, sets it to the automatic feature and aims it at the Ampere train.
James: Ready, guys?
Sarah: Ready.
James: Wait...wait...
Ampere Pilot: Hey, who am I currently talking to?
James: James Burton....
Ampere Pilot: The tech guy?
James: Yeah....
Ampere Pilot: Where's your leader? How come I'm not talking to him?
The Ampere opens as the Takers open fire.
Margaret: Now!
The survivors open fire on the Takers, killing a few of them with Kyle and Shawn opening fire on the Takers on the Ampere train.
Taker: Shit! There's two of them on the train!
Ampere Pilot: You motherfucker! Now you've done it! You're all dead! A bullet for each of you! I'm going to execute you personally through your forehead! Fuck visible targets! Cut that thing and turn it into swiss cheese. Fire at will!
James: Kyle! Shawn! Come on, gooddammit! They're gonna tear us to pieces here!
Shawn: We're working on it, James!
Rocky: Shawn, Kyle! Place the bomb as close to the boiler as you fast as can!
Kyle and Shawn reach the firebox section of the Ampere, but Takers on the bridge close the door just as Shawn gets a shot.
Shawn: Fuck!
Kyle: Fuck them! There's the firebox!
Ampere Commander: Are you dipshits sleeping? They're already here! They reach the engine, I'm gonna kill you myself!
Kyle and Shawn sprint into the firebox, where the worker puts his hands.
Worker: Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'm just a worker, man!
Shawn: Get the fuck out!
Shawn grabs the worker and throws him aside as Kyle plants the bomb close to the boiler.
Kyle: Bombs planted!
Shawn: Let's go, then!
The worker jumps off the train, but unfortunately, onto the train tracks of the survivors train and is ran over.
James: Oooh.....
Kyle and Shawn spot the survivor's train coming as Shawn pulls on the brakes, slowing down the Ampere and allowing both Kyle and Shawn to jump onto the front of the train. Caleb and Marcus help the survivors up onto the train, before the three join the others. Kyle then presses on the detonator as the charge on the Ampere explodes, destroying the entire train and causing it to crash. The survivors cheer and shout in joy on the train.
Rocky: Wooo! Fuck yeah!
Sarah sprints to Kyle and hugs him.
Sarah: Thank god you're okay!
Rachel then hugs Kyle.
Rachel: You're fucking crazy, you know that?!
Shawn: You're just noticing that about us, kid?!
