We’re Alive: Scout’s Honor - Chapter 8 - Sink or Swim

Michael Swan (0:00)

This production contains scenes of graphic violence and strong language, which some listeners may find offensive.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (0:14)

Wow.

Michael Swan (0:15)

Aw, man.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (0:16)

I was kinda hoping we'd find your dad's Lamborghini in here.

Dillon Wrich (0:19)

There's like a 20-year waiting list for island car passes on Catalina. Doesn't matter how much money you have.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (0:24)

Geezees. Aw, there you are, my old friends. I remember these.

SPEAKER_4 (0:29)

Who are G and C?

Dillon Wrich (0:31)

Grand Cru 1 and Grand Cru 2

Isabella Burer (0:33)

The golf carts?

Beauden Michael McConnell (0:34)

Oh, I see. The license plates.

Dillon Wrich (0:37)

It's a wine joke. Same initials.

Beauden Michael McConnell (0:40)

We're going to drive golf carts through the town as our getaway vehicles?

Dillon Wrich (0:44)

These aren't your normal electric carts. My dad bought top-of-the-line ones. They're quiet and fast.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (0:49)

Faster than some of the cars on the island, that's for sure.

Beauden Michael McConnell (0:53)

Great. Okay, so now I have to learn how to drive a golf cart. Andy Yacht.

Am I the only one kind of freaking out here?

Julian Vidaurrazaga (1:02)

Don't worry about him.

Greg Perrow (1:03)

It's so easy. Push and go.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (1:05)

That's it.

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:06)

Yeah, maybe for you. I've never driven anything.

Isabella Burer (1:09)

Then I'll drive the golf cart. You worry about the yacht.

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:12)

Thanks Ruby, but that's not much better.

Isabella Burer (1:15)

Hey, we'll figure it out together.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (1:17)

What else do we need?

Dillon Wrich (1:19)

I've been making a list. Food, water, weapons, walkie-talkies.

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:23)

I've got them here.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (1:25)

We should check on the surveillance channel.

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:27)

Um, testing?

Julian Vidaurrazaga (1:29)

Geez, Zach.

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:30)

Testing?

Julian Vidaurrazaga (1:30)

So what, you've got a TV in every room of this house, even the garage?

Dillon Wrich (1:34)

Something like that.

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:35)

Test. These walkies are dead. We need to find fresh batteries if we want to use them.

Dillon Wrich (1:40)

I'll start looking around.

Isabella Burer (1:42)

Wait, what is that?

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:44)

What?

Dillon Wrich (1:45)

Where?

Isabella Burer (1:46)

In the corner of the TV security footage, the camera showing the beach. Look at the bottom of the cliff, those two things.

Beauden Michael McConnell (1:55)

Looks like seals.

SPEAKER_8 (1:58)

Those are not seals.

Isabella Burer (2:00)

Infected or on the beach below the house.

Beauden Michael McConnell (2:02)

What do we do?

Julian Vidaurrazaga (2:03)

Do you think they can smell us up here?

Dillon Wrich (2:04)

That's a pretty steep cliff. It's about a couple hundred feet. I think we're safe at the moment.

Isabella Burer (2:09)

But it's just a matter of time.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (2:11)

Okay. So then we're doing this now.

Dillon Wrich (2:13)

What about the supplies list?

Julian Vidaurrazaga (2:14)

No more time for lists. We need to go over the plan and get out of here while it's still dark.

Dillon Wrich (2:19)

Okay.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (2:20)

Everyone, eyes on the map.

So Zach and I will be in Golf Cart 1 and head up Wrigley Road to the broadcast tower. Frankie and Ruby, you'll be at the top of Wrigley Road here in your golf cart waiting for a signal. We need to make sure the walkie-talkies will work, so we definitely need to find fresh batteries.

Dillon Wrich (2:36)

Of course.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (2:37)

Once we clear the tower and Zach gets everything working, we'll start pace 1 We'll use the Bracket's Tower to alert the infected here to the east.

SPEAKER_8 (2:59)

Found the golf clubs.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (3:00)

Lame sport, but these should come in handy. Here, I'll go check the town one last time.

Isabella Burer (3:08)

I'll take this one and the putter too. Franklin, did you find the batteries?

Beauden Michael McConnell (3:12)

No! I mean, an enormous mansion, full of stuff, and no batteries in the whole place.

Dillon Wrich (3:18)

Found some. I emptied every TV remote control in the house. This should be enough. Won't be needing these anymore.

I just hope they still have some power left.

Julian Vidaurrazaga (3:28)

Nice.

Isabella Burer (3:30)

Here, take a club.

Dillon Wrich (3:31)

Ah, good old nine iron.

Isabella Burer (3:34)

Do you see any infected with your scope? What are they doing now?

Julian Vidaurrazaga (3:38)

It's still dark, but, yeah, I could tell there are lots.

Dillon Wrich (3:42)

Are they sleeping?

Julian Vidaurrazaga (3:43)

It is 3 a.m. They're not as active, but mostly grouped around the town.
