Clementine remains in the medical tent with Eliza, trying desperately to figure out what to do. Bryce continues to fire his rounds into the air hoping to scare her and Christa out of hiding.
- Bryce: Come on out, now!! The longer you wait this out, the more I'm gonna lose my patience.
Eliza gets out of her bed and walks up to Clementine.
- Eliza: We're in trouble because of you?
- Clementine: I can't believe they followed us...
- Eliza: What did you do?
- Clementine: This woman tried to rob me. My friends boyfriend tried to save me...but he...(starts choking up)
Eliza frowns.
- Clementine: When Christa came, she killed that woman and some scavengers that were raiding his body. I killed one of them. The other... shot in the leg. I thought he'd die eventually, but...
- Eliza: How come you never told me?
- Clementine: I don't know. I didn't know they were with a bigger group.
- Eliza: Well what are going to--
BANG!!
A gunshot scares both Clementine and Eliza followed by the screams of a woman.
- Woman: OH MY GOD!! JASON! NO! (sobbing).
- Bryce: (shouting) My patience is up!! Lady, if you and the girl don't come on out within the next 60 seconds, I'm putting one more bullet into another kid!! So what's it gonna be?!
Rob: (shouting) KID, HURRY THE FUCK UP AND COME OUT!!
Clementine: Oh no. This is horrible.
Suddenly, she notices Eliza has taken her hat.
- Clementine: Hey! What are you doing?!
- Eliza: He said they're looking for a girl with a blue cap.
- Clementine: Eliza, no!
- Eliza: Just get out of here and find your friend. Besides, You saved me. I'll never forget that.
- Clementine: I can't let you do this!
Eliza moves in to hug Clementine.
- Eliza: You really are a great friend, Clementine. Thank you.
Eliza leaves the tent and goes around to join the crowd with her hands in the air.
- Eliza: STOP!! I'M COMING OUT!!
Everyone turns to face her. Some people looking at her confused, but Bryce is more than pleased.
- Bryce: 'Bout fucking time! And where's the other bitch?!
- Eliza: ...she's gone!
- Bryce: Hmph. Disappointing, but I guess you'll have to do. Come here!
Eliza slowly and calmly walks through the crowd. Meanwhile, Clementine tries to sneak her way out of the camp before she's spotted by Christa and Donald, who have arrived and have been hiding in Clem and Christa's tent.
- Christa: (whispering) Clementine! Over here!
Clementine gets inside the tent.
- Donald: Clem, what the hell's goin' on?! Who are those people?!
- Christa: Where's Junior?!
- Clementine: Christa, those men are from the same group as the ones we killed at the pitstop. The one who passed out survived.
- Christa: Oh fuck...
- Donald: Goddamnit! Anna's out there with your kid!
- Clementine: Where are the other hunters?
- Donald: Waiting in the forest. Once the opportunity comes, I'll give 'em the signal and they'll attack.
- Clementine: Eliza....
Christa peeks through the opening in the tent. She aims her rifle with Bryce in her sights.
- Donald: Wait! Are you crazy?! If those other men hear the shot, they might kill everyone! Besides, what if you miss?!
- Christa: (cocks gun) I won't.
- Clementine: What about the other men?
- Christa: We'll worry about that later--wait what?
Christa sees Eliza walking up onto Bryce's truck and notices she's wearing Clementine's hat.
- Christa: What is that girl doing and why is she wearing your hat?
- Clementine: That man said he's looking for a little girl with a blue hat. And she took it from me.
- Christa: Why would you let her do that?!
- Clementine: She wanted to help me!
- Donald: Dammit. We gotta help her. I ain't gonna let that little girl die!
The three pick up and listen to what's going on.
- Bryce: You're in a lot trouble, kid. Those were some good people you and your friend killed back there.
- Eliza: ...
- Bryce: Nothing to say, huh? Well then, suit yourself.
Bryce aims his gun down at Eliza and gestures her to get in the truck. Suddenly an 11 year-old boy named Jacob yells to Eliza.
- Jacob: Wait!! Stop!! That's not her!!
Everyone looks at Jacob. Bryce moves the gun away from her and focuses his attention to him.
- Bryce: I beg your pardon?
- Jacob: That's not the girl your looking for!! She's still hiding out here!! Eliza, don't do this! She's not worth it!!
Clementine, Christa and Donald are all shocked.
- Clementine: Oh no. No no no no. Why would he do that?!
Donald: Fuck. What are they gonna do to her?
Bryce: ...and what's this girl's name?
- Jacob: Clementine.
Bryce sighs in disappointment, then shakes his head.
- Bryce: Motherfucker.
Bryce pistol-whips Eliza in the back of her head. She falls on her knees screaming in pain while holding her head. Bryce picks her up in one hand and aims his gun at Eliza with the other.
- Bryce: Listen, Clementine! I'm through wasting my time with these people! This is your last chance! If you don't come out within ten seconds, I'm blowing this kid's fucking brains out!
- Jacob: NO!
- Rob: GODDAMMIT, CLEMENTINE!! GET THE FUCK OUT HERE!
- Bryce: You see?! We can put all of this behind if you just cooperate!
(BANG!) A gunshot is heard and Bryce is hit in the shoulder. Eliza get's off the truck and runs to the crowd.
- Christa: Shit, I missed his head!
Bryce gets up holding his shoulder.
- Bryce: KILL THEM ALL!!
Bryce's men proceed to shooting the crowd. Rob is the first among the group to get shot down.
Donald comes out of the tent and blows his whistle. Three hunters emerge from the forest on the left side of the camp and start shooting at Bryce's group while taking cover behind a big boulder. Bryce gets off of the truck and hides behind it. His men follow him. One man goes into the truck and takes out a Malatov Cocktail. He lights it up and throws it at the crowd.
Many people get caught up in flames as well is some of the tents. Everyone is trying desperately to escape.
Christa and Clementine leave the tent and run into the center of the camp.
- Christa: I have to find Junior!!
- Clementine: We can find him faster if I help you!
- Christa: No! It's too dangerous! Just grab your things and get out of here!!
- Clementine: ...
Christa takes a knee and holds Clementine.
- Christa: I'll find you. Just be safe. Okay.
- Clementine: (tears up) Okay.
- Christa: Now go!!
Christa disappears into the crowd.
Clementine looks around and sees Eliza going into the medical tent. She quickly runs after her trying to get by all of the scurrying people. She get's in and sees Eliza going through all of the supplies.
- Clementine: What are you doing?! We have to go!
- Eliza: (Walks up to Clem with a first aid kit) I'll need this.
- Clementine: Okay, good.
- Eliza: Let's go!
The two quickly look to the truck and see that Bryce is being devoured by a walkers that were drawn to the gunfire. The hunters and Bryce's men are know focusing their attention on the walkers. The flames from the tents, however, are getting bigger. Eliza looks and sees that her tent is engulfed in flames.
- Eliza: Mommy?
- Clementine: (Pulling on Eliza's arm) Come on! We have to go!
The two finally leave the camp and run into the forest along the water's edge. The camp is now in complete ruins.
After 15 minutes of non-stop running, Eliza, running behind Clementine, collapses. Clementine turns to her and tries to wake her up by shaking her.
- Clementine: No! Eliza! Wake up!! We have to keep going.
- Eliza: ...
Clementine decides to wrap Eliza's arm around her neck and carry her to the edge of the cliff, not too high from the water. The cliff has enough open space for the two to make a camp.
Clementine takes out a water bottle and lays it on the ground. She lays Eliza's head on her backpack like a pillow. She uncaps the bottle and gives Eliza some water.
- Clementine: Just get some rest. I'll keep us safe.
- Eliza: (feeling woozy) My head...hurts...so much...
Clementine turns around and looks into the forest, awaiting anything or anyone to come near. She takes out her knife and sits down, trying to catch her breath. She starts to get tired. Then drowsy. Finally, she falls asleep while sitting up.
HOURS LATER
Now nighttime, both girls are still asleep...until Clementine wakes up to the sound of a twig snapping. She quickly stands up and gets her knife ready. She looks into the pitch black forest awaiting her possible attacker.
- Clementine: S-STAY AWAY!
She hears footsteps drawing closer to her. Each step she hears is making her more frightened. Until she hears a familiar voice.
- Christa: CLEMENTINE!
Clementine drops her knife, relieved to see Christa and Donald, as well as Junior in Christa's arms.
