[S2E1] Journey Into Night High Quality

Strand explains to Bernard that they have Search and Rescue teams 'at the other Parks' but he's in Westworld as, as far as they know, this is where most of the Board was when 'the incident' began. However, he adds, communications have been down for two weeks, confirming that is how long it's been since the night of the Gala. Which, he says, is why he's very happy they found Bernard...unless Bernard 'is going to hold out' on him. Seeing another Host being summarily shot, reminds Bernard of just how much he has to lose if the whole truth is discovered, as Strand takes them further into the Park to try and find out how it all started.

[S2E1] Journey Into Night

The Hosts going in search of a target 'with more cushion', Charlotte tells Bernard that they need to move. But another of the female guests argues that they should stay that QA will be looking for them. Blaine Bellamy, a Delos Board member scoffs at that, saying he's going to fire the entirety of Quality Assurance, suggesting that they are on their own for now. Getting up he asks Bernard if there's an outpost near by. wanting to know where the nearest access point is. About 2 miles north east, Bernard replies, a refurbishment outpost. As they go to move, a side door to the barn opens and a young host, the stable boy enters with a lantern, sending them all scurrying to hide again. Bernard points out that he's harmless but Blaine grabs a shovel, saying it's a machine and he's not taking any chances. On seeing them, the stable boy is friendly, greeting them, wondering they're looking to saddle up "To ride to the green pastures of the Valley Beyond?" as he approaches them, only for Blaine and the other male guests to beat him to death, pushing Bernard out of the way when he tries to stop them. Bernard rising to find clear synaptic fluid from his CPU leaking out of his ears. The patch job that Felix did in restoring him after Ford forced him to shoot himself[2] starting to give. Slightly disorientated he hears Charlotte's voice telling him it's okay to want to be a hero but not to sacrifice himself for 'the merchandise'. Taking hold of his hand she pulls him up with her, the group making their way quietly out of the stable, into the night.

An irate Delos board member, Ronald, comes from nowhere, approaching him - calling him "Bill" - while berating him, demanding to know where Q.A. is, and threatening a major lawsuit. Mid tirade Ronald is promptly shot through the head by two renegade hosts who go straight after the MiB. Ducking behind a stone water well for cover, William manages to waylay one of the hosts as he walks around the well to go after William, slitting his throat with his knife then using him as a shield and dispatching the other armed host with the pistol from the now dead host he is shielding himself with. He goes into the cabin, bandages up the gunshot wound in the arm he received the the night before,[2] and donning his black hat, smiles, just slightly. 041b061a72
