Little over a week.

Thanks.

A few months.

They're better off than the ones left behind.

After what you did for us today, well...

I'd go so far as to consider us friends.

Appreciate your hospitality.

What were you doing out there?

Were you tracking the MRAP, too?

I was looking for somebody I thought might be in it.

I'll be honest, though...

I'm glad I found all of you.

Why's that?

'Cause I'm building something.

Found somewhere where Virginia won't be able to find us.

I just need people like yourselves to help make it what it can be.

We don't need a place where Virginia can't find us, because she'll be dead.

We've got the MRAP.

We've got everything we need to take her out.

Sherry's right.

You don't sit on a w*apon like that unless you intend to use it.

Yeah, things may have to come to that.

But now is not the right time to strike at Virginia.

Now's the perfect time.

She has no idea we have this kind of firepower.

That doesn't mean you need to use it, does it?

SHERRY: Look, Dwight told me that you think that all life is precious, but this is different.

If one life controls so many others, we...

We're all gonna have to do things that we might not have done before.

But I have been through a w*r that took too long to end and took too many lives.

So has your husband.

Our friends are still inside Virginia's communities.

I'm sure you got people that you care about who are there, too.

If you strike and it doesn't break your way, you'll be putting them all in a lot of danger.

You just want to make sure we can get out people out first.

Yeah, but not until they got somewhere to go, until this place that I'm trying to build is ready.

This place I'm talking about, I'm going there tomorrow, and you can come or not come.

But the only thing I'm asking...

Do not make a move against Virginia until the time is right.

Please.

You want to go with him?

Look, Morgan and Al...

they're like family.

And they're a big part of the reason why I am who I am right now.

Wasn't Morgan's last plan the reason you ended up inside Ginny's walls?

We wanted a place to disappear to.

I say we give it a shot.

We go there, and then we wait to take on Virginia when the time is right...

When is that gonna be?

Yeah, she would, and she has, but that still don't make now the right time.

Right is what got us here in the first place, Morgan!

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

You say you've got a place where we can be safe...

where you can help protect us?

Right.

But we've heard it before.

Why is the place that you're building right now any different?

'Cause I'm different.

'Cause we're gonna do things different.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

But Sherry's right.

Nothing's gonna be different until Virginia's gone.

Well, I am doing this. I am.

Soon enough, this'll all be behind us.

So, you just pull the lever?

Yeah, but sometimes it sticks.

What's wrong?

Were you really gonna let the dog k*ll that guy?

Uh, I had to make him think I was.

Is that what you did?

What you had to do before?

Back at the Sanctuary.

- Never worked, but I had to try.

- Did you?

We can't take chances with anybody who might screw this up for us, and that's including Morgan and Al.

What does that mean?

It means I may have to sideline them until this is done.

I thought that you said that they were like your family.

Yeah, they are like my family.

You're right.

You are my family.

And I'm not gonna let anybody get in the way of what I have to do.

What you have to do?

When Virginia gets here, I'm gonna k*ll her myself.

We're still gonna try and steal it, right?

I told them TNT wouldn't do shit.

I lied.

Worse comes to worst, I can take out the steering column, at least.

Listen, I couldn't suss out any gas reserves, so we better hope whatever's in the t*nk gets us out of range. Otherwise...

Otherwise what?

We're gonna blow up the MRAP?

It shouldn't come to that, but yeah.

If they screw this up, our people will pay the cost.

Al.

I knew you would try something like this.
