Chapter 48 - WARNING SPOILERS FROM THE FINALE!

[GamerGirl]

Great ending to a great show.

But n I next time I get my two big predictions & pet theories on the forus & not just on the WA Fancast.

Ink & Scratch dead.

Slow turners on a plane spread the z plauge from LA. (Tonya's theory)

[REZombie]

Was happy to see that a few of my early predictions actually were right!!! I had said that Michael(or someone) would be reading to Nicolas about everything that happened.... Also said that Saul/Datu/Tonya would be the one to take out Ink because of the slow/no turning.


Not really sure what to say now though....I loved the ending, was an amazing episode....but its...its over.....i feel so empty inside now, lol.. Gonna have to start from scratch( :) ) and listen to it all again.

But i really want to say THANK YOU to all of the cast and crew of this masterpiece! I have never felt so emotionally involved with any characters in any book, movie, game, or anything the way i have with WA. When i put my headphones on and start playing WA its like i become a part of the action. I love it, and just really wanted to say thank you, to everyone involved.


*heads reluctantly back into the real world and awaits the zombie apocalypse*

[Footbutt]

Finally got to listen to the finale....
Wow.

Just a completely fantastic story. Lacking in nothing!
I truly hope this brings KC and the gang lots of $$ to make even more stories!

Celebrate and take some well-deserved time off!

[Sgt606]

I too am sad it is over. It has been quite a ride...and I enjoyed every nail biting minute of it.

Thank you KC and crew for bringing us an amazing tale that pulls together the best and worst of human nature, spun together masterfully in a underutilized medium. I really hope that the radio drama comes back to life, as I really enjoy being able to listen and get lost in my imagination, while I work at my desk or drive somewhere in my car. I wish nothing but success and to everyone involved with Were Alive. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I really thought that we were going to find out that Ink was part of "The Family". I am not disappointed. But after hearing about how well Durai seemed to know Ink, I thought they would be spun together and I would be right about predicting something. Maybe in the Tales from Were Alive??? Please make me right, KC.

[HorrorHiro]

I really wish Scratch died a warriors death.

[YetAnotherBloodyCheek]

Basically, after 48 chapters, we only got the truth as written down in some diaries.

[TodTai]

Just finished listening to the We're Alive Fancast Q&A with KC Wayland Ep. 58. It answers a lot of questions and sets out some of the his next projects. Can't wait for the next one- this programme is just sooo good I am confident the Wayland empire will emerge from this, he and the team seem to be just getting started!

I recommend watching this g+-hang-out as well. Kc speaks about similar things as within the Q&A, but some things receive more attention: http://youtu.be/qFjozcKQXDU

[Miharu]

I thought 28 Days latter only had a happy ending in the American release ('cause aparently we need rainbows & butterflies in all or movies).

Someone told me that the UK ending killed off there was no rescue.

I haven't seen it as I dislike a lot of gore ior zombie stories heavy on the zombies.......

They don't even get rescued in the American release, from what I remember. The plane just flies by and they can only hope.

Meanwhile, after Britain is finally reclaimed, Jim gets put on death row and more than likely executed for his crimes at the army base. Canon.

[Monty]

Absolutely fantastic finale, couldn't have been better! Kc and everyone involved really outdid themselves and I am so proud to say we have all stayed with it until the end. Truly one of the best things out there.
One quick question though. I was absolutely heartbroken when Saul died, but did anyone else hear someone shouting down the radio while Michael was talking to CJ? To me it sounded like someone was shouting they were alive/all right. Skip to 38:48 and turn up your volume.

Lol, it was Saul, which some have taken it as Michael remembering Saul's last words, but I feel that it was just the device that they had replaying. It probably was just a memory though, considering Nicholas didn't get the audio. It would have been the only thing that he could renember his father by.

[Miharu]

Listening to it again, there is a definitive beep before the audio stops. So it has to be Michael replaying it...for some reason.

Maybe CJ asked if they had any recordings from what happened or Michael mentioned that they recorded his last words. I figure pretty much anyone would have wanted to hear the last things their friend said since they would never hear his voice again.

Fair enough. Awesome username xD

[Monty]

Makes sense. Glad that's cleared up. :')

[nickyfordinsky]

At about 39 minutes in turn up the volume and when Michael says they are taking a break listen for his radio. Saul was on it.

[nickyfordinsky]

Fair enough. Awesome username xD

He definitely says "Michael I'm here. I'm alive"

The chronicles of Nicholas the z killer.

[jamers503]

I have GOT to know what Saul is talking about in the moment before he blows the C4! In the 24th minute he gives a final transmission over the radio as Michael and Victor are heading out of the tunnel. The transmission is replayed in the 39th minute when they get back to the others. It sounds like Saul is screaming one of these two things:

A) "Michael, I see him! You were right! It was him!"

B) "Michael, I see it! You were right! It was here!"

No matter how many times I listen to it, I can't tell which line he is saying.

If it's option A, is he talking about Randy? If so, how did Randy make it so far away from the explosion to survive and get killed by Vic a minute later? Was Saul talking about someone else?

If it's option B, then what's the "it" that he's talking about? Am I forgetting about some theory that Michael had earlier in the series?

Usually I would think "it's okay, KC will explain it in a later episode." But DAMMIT, this is it!

Anyone able to shed light on this?

No idea. Me personally, I hear: "Michael! I can see 'em! You were right! It ????...!" Then it's played once again when he and Victor return.

[airrunner]

No idea. Me personally, I hear: "Michael! I can see 'em! You were right! It ????...!" Then it's played once again when he and Victor return.

Interesting. I get. "Michael. Michael. I see them. You were right. There were more!" In the background are the sounds of a large horde of zombies surrounding Saul.

As for the repeat of these words when CJ asked Michael if Saul did it, I take that to mean Michael recalling that the last words Saul spoke to anyone were directed at him and it causes him pain to think about so he tells CJ to just leave it at that.

I hadn't thought of it as a recording. Did the radios have a recording feature on them? Also, Michael was practically ejected out of the tunnel after the C4 blast. He even lost his tank. I would think that his radio may have been heavily damaged or destroyed in the process.

BTW, how did people feel about not finding out more about Ink's new creation? It very much felt like watching the "Return of the King" and never seeing Sauron make a reappearance in full force because he never got his ring back. During most of three "Lord of the Ring" movies, I felt the menace of Sauron possibly reuniting with his ring, only to never witness the payoff. After the fact I rationalized this as being a good thing in my head thinking that realistically if Sauron had retrieved his ring, Middle Earth would have been doomed. Just like if we had gotten a glimpse of a the new creation it probably would have meant it had escaped the tunnel and that the survivors would be doomed as a result. I'm guessing Ink had perfected what he wanted out of a zombie soldier in this new creation.

[airrunner]

Nice catch Miharu and Snake Liquid. I definitely hear the beep while CJ is talking to Michael. So I guess they did record Saul's voice. Sounds to me like CJ had gotten her hands on the radio and did a quick rewind to hear what the last words were. This is completely in character as she prefers to know things first hand, rather than via hearsay. At that point she says to Michael "He did it..." as though she was listening to the recording and referring to it. Michael turns off the recording and says "just leave it at that," which is when you hear the beeps. I know this is a cut off because originally Saul says "You were right. There were more." (at least that's what I think he says) and in the playback it's only "You were right." before the recording is cut off, presumably by Michael.

Love this REZombie!!! I feel the same way. I love the characters so much and feel more connected to them than any character in any other medium I can remember in a long time (this will probably be lost on most people, but the only fiction where I loved the characters this much was a series of fantasy books called Dragonlance that I discovered as a teen). I'm positive the radio drama format really helped connect me to the characters, especially during the age of the smart phone and high quality listening devices like earphones that immerse you in the sounds of what you are listening to.

[airrunner]

It's crazy not to love Scratch ...

I do love me some Scratch. I think my favorite line from her is when Kalani and Hannah first meet her after she and Latch pick them up from the Airport. Kalani thanks the brother/sister duo for saving them. Scratch says something like "Relax. You're safe." The way she says "You're safe" is simultaneously soothing and menacing. It's such a great bit of voice acting.

But as much as I love her, I was so paranoid of Scratch. I spent the entire fourth season chasing my own ghosts, but not like Burt and Riley. I wasn't hoping for folks to hunt down Scratch. I wanted the Survivors to stay as far away from her as possible. Any time any of them were alone or in small numbers, I was waiting for Scratch to jump out and kill them: Datu at the water pump station, Pete at the water station later, Tanya at the morgue, Victor, Lizzy, and Saul at Dunbar, Victor on guard duty at the Colony, Pegs on guard duty at the Colony, Hope at the Colony with the radios -- it quickly became Scratch lurking in every shadow to me. I almost found listening to each chapter stressful, because I was so sure Scratch was going to pop out and kill somebody I liked.

That's when I finally told myself to just breathe and trust in KC. His writing has never taken me in a direction that I couldn't handle. And it was true. The ending was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable.

You nailed it. That's the exact same way I see it, I guess.
in the beginning I was really furios about Scratch and her actions. It started with her killing Charly for absolutely no real reason. She just put blame on him, because she herself was not capable of stopping the "theft", as she calls it.

But what does tell me about Scratch or the actress Jenna? That that early in the story of WA this was some really amazing and fine voice acting. And it kept that way almost the entire time. During season #4 I had the impression that Jenna has lost some of the power for Scratch. But this is, I guess, just the result for Scratch not having been in the focus of the story anymore. Her rare appearances seemed kind of random to me. But I am glad that in chapter #48 Scratch had her great moments after all.

"Scratch" is a matter of perspective, emotion and emotional opinion. As much as I hate her, just as much do I like, if not love her. If I ever had the chance to meet "her" in real life, I would wonder and try, if it is possible, to break through the hard shell she has created around herself. Especially in those moments, when Scratch and Lizzy seemed to "connect", it has become obvious that in her heart she is a good person, who was out and about to finde the peace she longed for for such a loooong time. Would you agree?

Best wishes!

Kc gave several interviews, in which he explains the situation: In his last moments in life he sees the new breed or next generation of breed Ink has produced. Then he triggers the bomb. According to Kc Saul, Victor, and Michael were just there at the right time to nuke the shit out of this devil's pit.

[Kc]

It's intentional for this not to be revealed in the story, it wasn't the right time. Unveiling something very fast at the end of the story just wouldn't give justice to what Ink created.

And that's all I can say.

Randy was next to Michael, about to kill/turn him, just as he jumped out of the entrance to the cave. If he was next to Saul when Saul said option A, he must of ran fucking fast from the bomb, to the entrance and be ready to pounce Michael :P Haha

But in seriousness, like the others have said, it was option B; the new kind of creation Ink was working on, attempting to reach the surface world, that the guys theorised about, thus the "You were right" :)

I'm personally kind of glad that Ink's latest wasn't revealed in the finale, for the reasons that KC just mentioned. It would have been just too short of a time span to take it all in. We spent SEASONS learning about the Behemoths and Little Ones. When the story was getting closer and closer to a close, one of the biggest worries that I (and a LOT of others) had was that it seemed too close to the end to add new mysteries. What we got is more of a tease than a full-out unanswered question.

[airrunner]

Oh that's right. I completely forgot about that when you introduced us to Kodi at Ft. Irwin in Season 3. Michael and Puck went over a replay of Kodi's luring and execution of a bunch of biters in I think it was Barsto. That same recording was given to Tanya to look at while she was held up in her cell. I just needed a refresher on the details. Boy, this show keeps you on your toes.

[airrunner]

So, having listened to both of the fan podcasts that were created around We're Alive, I have to say there seemed to be a lot of Pegs hate going around. Well thinking on how the final episode played out I could imagine after the defeat of both Ink and Scratch that Pegs and Michael found some time to compare notes. If we think of both climactic story lines as heroes going up against bosses, it's clear Pegs outdid Michael.

Scratch has been every bit a force of destruction for the survivors as Ink was. Scratch and her actions led to the destruction of the Original Tower, the deaths of Bill, Kalani, Angel, Hanna, Bixby, Dr. Jason, and Gatekeeper, and the mutilation of Burt. Ink and his actions led to the abandonment of Dunbar, the destruction of Ft. Irwin and Boulder, and the deaths of Tommy, Datu, Muldoon, Robbins, Carl (nobody ever calls him by his last name, huh?), Samantha, and Martin. In terms of sheer scale, Ink did a lot more, but perhaps from the Original Towerites' perspective, Scratch was at least as responsible for bringing them misery as Ink, if not moreso.

So, Pegs faces off with Scratch one-on-one and takes her down with her pistol. Granted she had some assistance from CJ to at least get to the fire escape, but after that it was all Pegs (and Hope's gun). Michael, on the other hand, didn't face off with Ink one-on-one and was more of a cheerleader from afar while Victor killed off any zombies that got close to him and Saul handled the dirty work of cutting Ink down and setting of the C4. Michael did one CJ-like thing when he assisted Saul in killing Ink by showing him the katana, but that's it. It's simple. Michael's a** and his plan needed to be saved by both Saul and Victor alternately. Pegs saved the rest of the survivors by beating Scratch.

Case closed.

I can envision Michael and Pegs relaxing on a couch after the day's events and Michael excitedly talking about how "he did it!" Ink and the special zombies have been defeated. Pegs just rolls her eyes, sighs, and responds that she also had a tough day at the office having to take down Scratch near solo, but you don't see her bragging about it.

Not entirely so, Michael was the one responsible for the change in mind and tactic that made ink a priority. He was, in the end, more responsible for the mission, than the people. He was now in the position on Angel from the beginning. Had it not been for his efforts in the scheme to take down ink, there's no telling how far he could have gone.

[Witch_Doctor]

Raven noticed that Tanya's notes were sealed in the archives are reminiscent of Marie Curie's notes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie#Death) that are locked away because of the radioactive danger they pose. Are Tanya's notes locked away because of a perceived infectious danger?

That's true, though with a heavy assist from Tanya. Even during Season Two, among all the characters, she was the first one to really be focused on the How and Why's of the zombies rather than just the Who, What, and Where's that everyone else cared about. I think Michael's change in tactics and strategy came when he accepted Tanya's hypothesis that there was something different about the zombies in L.A. compared to anywhere else. I remember a scene in the old Tower when Tanya was asking a bunch of questions about the zombies and Michael cuts her off and then she just storms out of the room in a huff. That's when Randy got her. It seems after that point, Michael started treating Tanya's inquisitive nature and desire for more information with greater respect.

Maybe not so much due to radiation, but because of the secrets they contain. If Nicholas is to be kept safe, so must that stuff. If anyone could just read the raw versions of the journals, they'd know he might be immune.

What would happen only if they found out that his high Midi-Chlorians level? :)

But seriously, is there no way to get rid of this immunity connection thing between Tanya - Saul and Nick whilst still preserving the recorded data? I mean, everybody else was granted a clean slate scenario when z-day happened.

How come Victor or any of the other people who breathed gas at some point didn't turn?

[Gooer]

How come Victor or any of the other people who breathed gas at some point didn't turn?

A certain amount of exposure is required, not like how one bite/scratch would turn you.

[LiamKerrington]

How come Victor or any of the other people who breathed gas at some point didn't turn?

As what Gooer says; also the complete show reveals that a certain constitution of a person might be helpful as well. Pegs and Victor, each of them had a good share of the gases, but they did not turn; I guess it is not too far fetched to assume that to a certain degree their bodies can fend off the zombie-agent very well.

[Leiana2213]

Just finished We're Alive today, and i gotta say I loved how it ends. This needs to be turned into a movie, big time. I'd die to see it.

So, Tanya became "obsessed" with her work after they were able to finally relax? I wish we were given more insight of what she was up to. Any theories to why she and Saul didnt turn earlier on? They both inhaled the gas (which i imagine being a yellowish brown color) and even Tanya had the bite long before that.

[werewolf]

I am re listening to whole series again. In the ending when Saul sacrifice his life for the his family and friends. I am surprised that he didn't yell out before setting off the c4 bomb. "I'm Coming Lizzy! I love you!" come to think about why didn't Saul get tombstone next to Lizzy I know that after a explosion there wouldn't be anything left. but, still it would be nice for Nicholas to be able to visit if in name only. other than that, I love the whole thing.

They both inhaled the gas (which i imagine being a yellowish brown color) and even Tanya had the bite long before that.

I am going to assume some of that will be covered in the Tales from We're Alive KC is working on..

I am re listening to whole series again. In the ending when Saul sacrifice his life for the his family and friends. I am surprised that he didn't yell out before setting off the c4 bomb. "I'm Coming Lizzy! I love you!" come to think about why didn't Saul get tombstone next to Lizzy I know that after a explosion there wouldn't be anything left. but, still it would be nice for Nicholas to be able to visit if in name only. other than that, I love the whole thing.

His body would be nothing, considering he was right next to the C4 when it went off.

Even if his body was intact, it'll be under all the rubble from the explosion. They'd have to dig it all out, and also find where the tunnel was. Finding the tunnel alone would be hard, never mind trying to remove the dirt and shit.....

as I said. "I know that after a explosion there wouldn't be anything left." the thought of his dad and mom together might have been comforting to him, if in name only.

As what Gooer says; also the complete show reveals that a certain constitution of a person might be helpful as well. Pegs and Victor, each of them had a good share of the gases, but they did not turn; I guess it is not too far fetched to assume that to a certain degree their bodies can fend off the zombie-agent very well.

My theory is that as long as you don't choke to death in the gas and escape, you'd be fine. CJ's side of the tower, first noted that their convoys found the zone was harder to breathe. I suppose couple of their guys were exposed to it as well. (correct me if I'm wrong... its been so long.)

And when the gasses came up, I guess that majority of the people choked to death and came back alive, it was probably heavier too when the gasses broke out.

I think i recall that the person in CJ's old group managed to get back to Dunbar before being turned. Don't remember where i heard it, haven't listened to the podcast in a looooong time....

Hi KC!

Just binge listened to all the chapters during the last few weeks of work. Just wanted to say thank you for such a great experience. Extremely well written and acted. The dynamic between Lizzy and Saul was one of my favorite parts as well as their exits. And had a soft spot for both Datu and Kelly. I enjoyed how the character's grew and changed with the show. Thank you so much for the experience and I cannot wait to listen or read more of your works.
