The Sacrifice Part 3

Part 3 was released on September 28.

Plot
Part 3 focuses on Francis' past.

This section begins with two Soldiers patrolling an outer section of Millhaven, complaining about Lieutenant Mora trying to save his men. Not soon after they're talking, they heard the Alarm being raised and almost instantly, one of the Soldiers, Nate is pounced by a Hunter. As Jim, the other Soldier raises his gun to shoot the Hunter off, he gets pulled away by a Smoker.

After this, Bill, Zoey and their companion are seen approaching the Armory. As they try to enter it, the Doctor remarks that the keypad is sticky, but not with Boomer Bile. When they finally opened it, inside are Louis, Francis, Jeff and Annie. When Zoey notices that Louis managed to find some peanut butter, she enthusiastically takes his jar from him while Francis makes a joke on Bill's age once again who surprisingly says that he missed Francis' joking. But, he quickly shutted his next joke down before letting it get out of hand. Louis exclaims that he and Annie were discussing a way out which Bill inquires about. She talks about a Troop transport on the east side which is unfortunately the opposite end of the Millhaven base. Jeff insists that it's suicide, but Bill ensures him that after coming all the way from Philadelphia, they are more than up for the task. Zoey asks Francis about his joke which was cut off by Bill and asks how he can still keep cracking jokes despite the Apocalypse. Francis stated that the Apocalypse was the best thing to happen to him as a flashback occurs.

Two days after the first Infection, Francis is held up by a police officer for stealing a TV. He tries to convince the officer that he is a cop. The scene jumps forward where it turns out that Francis is in a bar, having a flashback within a flashback. He explains to his friends that was the reason why he was going to jail. His friend, Sandra (Who he refers to as Becky) states that she would miss him, but Francis tries to lighten the mood by saying that she can visit him during conjugal visits until someone else (Presumably from the same gang) reminds him that Pennsylvania doesn't allow conjugal visits, much to Francis' distaste. He asks them to remind him to impersonate a cop in another state such as Ohio before Sandra whisks him away. As the two began to make out, however, Sandra vomits much to Francis' slight disgust, barely missing his vest. Sandra tells him to wait which he does so. Then, she became fully Infected and bites the Biker. Francis pushes her away and states that she will be banned from conjugal visits when he goes to Ohio Prison (Though maybe a one-off visit), still not knowing about her Infected condition. She leaps at Francis, startling him until she is shot by another fellow gang member. Francis identifies the shooter as Duke and reprimands him for shooting Sandra (Who he identifies correctly this time). Duke only states that the government just wants them to believe that it's just a flu. Reminiscent of Francis' familiarity for vampires, Duke talks about a conspiracy involving satellites and mobile phones leading up to a "Zombie Apocalypse" which Francis believes right away. It quickly dawns on him that the zombies can't imprison the other people so he tells Duke and another gang member, Danny to grab a jukebox and follow him to the roof. On their arrival, the two asked Francis why he told them to do so. He simply tells them that "you could not get a party going without a little music." One of the members estimates that roughly a thousand Common Infected are roaming the streets below them. At which point, Francis picked a gun up and starts to countdown from 1000, counting them off audibly as he kills each Infected.

The flashback ends and Lieutenant Mora and four Soldiers are seen fending the Infected off. One of the soldiers gets a call about Major Everly requesting everyone to the East Side of the base to make a stand. The Lieutenant tells him to ignore the call before his mask is ripped off by a Common Infected. Before the situation gets out-of-hand, Mora commands his squad to pull him back up to higher ground. They hesitated before refusing as he was seemingly "compromised." Growing impatient, Mora asks for a spare mask instead before stating that if he turns, they can shoot him. This doesn't interest the Sergeant or the other Soldiers and they walk off, leaving the Lieutenant to deal with the ever-growing swarm of Infected.

The Comic changes to show the team of Bill, Louis, Francis, Zoey, the Doctor, Jeff and Annie. Bill gives orders that they are going to procure a train heading to the South. Zoey asks why he chose the South and Bill just asks her to trust him. Then, she questions his motives to leave the "New Meat" behind, saying that he isn't going to which Bill simply replies with a "watch me". This provokes Zoey to ask what about her and Francis and Louis which Bill responds that they always come back for their own. The Doctor comments on the momentary absence of the Infected, stating that it is a good sign. Louis compares the situation to a shark attack by saying that if there's no Infected around, there's bound to be something much worse nearby. Then, they spotted the badly-injured Lieutenant Mora aiming a gun at them. Louis attempts to negotiate with him, but his methods are questioned by Zoey until Francis steps in, saying that he is a Cop and it is all Louis' fault. When asked which of them is Louis, he whispers to the group to run except Louis before Bill steps in and punches the Lieutenant, knocking him to the ground. Bill orders them to move fast. As Mora aims his gun steadily at the retreating group, his head is suddenly ripped off by a Tank. Meanwhile, Major Everly and another soldier are attempting to escape via a helicopter. The Doctor spots the helicopter taking off and he advises them to flag it down. Zoey declined and orders them to keep moving. Right at that moment, the Tank punts a car from behind which hitted the helicopter head on. It crashes and explodes, killing Everly and a part of the debris hits a nearby Jeep, puncturing it's fuel tank. As the Tank loomed towards them, a panicking Annie asks what to do which Zoey orders her to keep running and not to let the Tank close the distance between them. The Tank ripped a part of the road out which Annie comments on and Zoey assures her that "they'll do that". Louis gets in the Jeep and drives it towards the Tank. He tells himself to get ready to jump before realizing that he would do so out of a moving vehicle and comments on his own stupidity. Francis asks Bill why Louis is being stupid which Bill suddenly realizes that he's leaking gas. Louis drives the Jeep square into the Tank's chest and Bill flicks his trademark cigarette onto the trail of fuel. Louis quickly hurries back to the group in time to see the Jeep blow the Tank up. He notices train tracks, telling Francis that he was right in that they would make it. Annie spots the holdout spot and tells the others that she and Jeff will join up, despite Zoey's offer for them to accompany the Survivors. Annie says that they will hold out a choke point there before heading to Outpost Echo. Zoey makes one last ditch attempt to convince Annie to join them, stating that "they never stop coming". Annie reminds her that without their gas-masks, they could pose a hazard to them if they became Infected. Zoey cuts her off mid-sentence, saying that she understands. She wishes them luck and Annie and Jeff officially detached themselves from the group and headed towards the holdout spot. Bill asks Louis if he still has some pipes left which Louis acknowledges. Bill instructs him to throw all of them to assist the Soldiers still alive at the holdout point. They boarded the Train and Francis says that he can hotwire it. Bill shoves Francis out of the way and presses a large green button on the dashboard. However, the holdout point starts buckling and the Soldiers are becoming overwhelmed, leaving just the West Wall still in contact. While the Doctor tries to board the train, it starts moving before he can get on. Zoey asks Bill to slow down a minute, but Bill refuses to listen. Eventually, while running alongside the Train, the Doctor is pounced by a Hunter and grabbed by a Smoker. Zoey repeatedly orders Bill to stop the Train which Bill rejects by saying that they only look after their own. Zoey asks Bill to stop the Train before nearly screaming at him to stop the Train. Part 3 is concluded with a final shot of the Train speeding off.
