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.

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

- Did you?

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

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.

I told them TNT wouldn't do sh*t.

I lied.

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