In the back of the truck, Hannah continues treating the wounded Olympian Soldier.

Hannah: I know it hurts. We're almost there.

Rory waves to an Olympian guard in the tower.

Olympian Soldier: Open the gate! Let em through.

Rory looks down to notice blood stains on Hannah's back.

Rory: Hannah.

Hannah: What?

Rory: You're bleeding.

Hannah: Where?

Rory: Your back.

Hannah: Squeeze this as hard as you can, okay?

Rory removes Hannah's backpack and presses her hand on Hannah's wound.

Olympian Soldier: Fuck...

Alfred: Holy shit.

Hannah: I didn't even feel that.

The truck stops at the infirmary entrance.

Rory: Hey! We got two!

The wounded Olympian Soldier stands up as other Olympian Soldiers help him exit the truck.

Hannah: He's got a gunshot to his hand.

Hannah steps down from the truck with Rory helping her down and handing Hannah her backpack.

Rory: Hey, you did good back there.

Hannah laughs.

Hannah: That almost sounded like a compliment for a minute.

Alfred: Go get that checked out.

Hannah: Stay, Bertie.

Bertie whines.

Alfred: It's okay, girl.

Olympian Soldier: Come on, Hannah. It's this way.

The Olympian Soldier helps Hannah to the infirmary as Rory and Alfred sit down

Alfred: Sit, girl.

Alfred pets Bertie, before he sighs.

Alfred: That was a lot of blood, huh?

Rory: She shouldn't be out with us.

Alfred: She'll be fine. She'll be fine.

The truck drives Rory and Alfred to the front of home base where the other trucks are parked. An Olympian Soldier with a leash approaches Rory, Alfred and Bertie as they exit the truck.

Olympian Soldier: What's up? Who do we have here?

Alfred: Hey, c'mon, girl. This is Bertie.

Olympian Soldier: Come on, Bertie. Good girl.

The Olympian Soldier puts a leash around Bertie's collar, before walking her to the dog cages with the other dogs.

Alfred: Thanks, man!

Another truck carrying Olympian Soldiers arrives and parks.

Alfred: These new guys. I don't trust them.

Alfred walks past the new Olympian recruits.

Alfred: Thanks, again, fellas.

Rory and Alfred approach the entrance of home base and check in with the clerk.

Rory: Checking in.

Olympian Soldier: Hey, you two.

Alfred: What's on the agenda today?
