The Walking Dead: World Beyond.
Why do you want to come?
I don't want to be
who everybody thinks I am here.
We should get going.
Felix is going to be coming for us.
The map says there's
an airfield on the other side.
Empties coming from the east
have to go around it.
There's an old tornado siren
on that roof.
It could create a nice diversion.
You want to send someone in as bait?
It's too dangerous for the bait.
Hi Silas. This is your birthday tape
from Pappy and Grammy.
We love you very much,
and miss you tons, kiddo.
We're just so excited
that you're six years old now.
Where did the time go?
We want you to know
you're special, Silas.
You're a sweet, thoughtful,
caring young man
and we're so proud
to have you as our grandson.
Hey sleepyheads. Wake the hell up!
Hope?
Hope, where are you?
Take a guess.
We're doing Elton's plan.
No, we're not. You are not.
I can get to the factory,
sound the siren,
clear a path
for you guys to get through.
It's your best chance
of making it out alive.
We don't even know
if the siren works,
or if we can get it to work.
We weren't going to risk anyone
on this. We decided.
You decided.
Hope, just come back, please?
Chill, okay?
It's not even all that bad down here.
At least
not compared to your cooking.
We will find another way,
just come back.
We knew what was up when we left,
how it would be.
But we did it for Dad.
This, it should be me.
It has to be. Oh shit, I gotta go.
Hope.
Are you there, Hope?
Hope!
We're glad you're here, Silas.
And we're glad your uncle
decided to sponsor you.
You know what that means, right?
It means you get a fresh start.
Hey.
Omaha is pretty great. Okay?
But this place?
It's big without being too big.
Now
I understand that you, uh
You want to work with your uncle
here in the physical plant,
instead of going to school?
Yeah, Silas here, he's
the hardest worker you'll ever meet.
Look. If you ever do
change your mind, Silas,
school is always an option for you.
Alright?
Monument High is a great, great way
to meet people your age.
Well, he appreciates the opportunity.
We both do.
He's a good kid.
No matter what anyone says.
He's a good kid.
Hope? Hope?
Hope, are you there?
Sorry, things got hairy for a sec.
Jesus.
Listen. I'm in an office
in front of the factory.
It's a straight shot
from the entrance.
Not too many empties.
From here, I can use the siren
to clear a path to the exit.
We're on the way, stay there.
The thing is, I'll be gone
by the time you get here.
Just get here.
Stay put, wait until you hear the
sirens and make a run for the exit.
I'll meet you there.
No. Just stay there
and I'll go with you.
I will move faster and quieter alone.
You need to trust me.
Hope
Iris. Do you trust me or not?
- Yes.
- Good.
I have to turn off my walkie
until it's safe.
In the meantime,
do exactly as I'm telling you.
Got it?
Iris!
- Yes. Okay, I'll do it.
- Awesome.
And Iris, just one more thing.
What?
Grin, girl. I love you.
I'm grinning.
No, you're flipping me off
through the talkie.
I'm grinning.
Good.
I can see the office.
It's a straight shot,
just like she said.
Most of the empties are attracted
by the fires on either side,
but we might still bump into a few.
We should go now.
I hope we don't have to kill any,
but in case we do,
do you think you can do it?
I'll carry all your bags,
so you can kill.
You both can.
I mean, I'm strong.
It's the best I can do right now.
And we'll go faster this way.
Let's go.
Silas!
Let's go!
Hey.
You okay?
I just got turned around. That's all.
Until we hear from Hope,
we should check this place out.
See if there's anything we can use.
Weapons, food, anything.
Roger that.
Shit!
What's up?
My mom used to buy me these.
I used to ask her to. Back in Omaha.
You know. Before.
You miss her?
No.
Sometimes.
You miss yours?
Every day.
So what was that? Out there?
It's okay if you're scared
I'm not.
Not of them.
Hey, Silas,
can you give me a hand over here?
It seems this door's stuck.
Hey, relax. It's me.
Felix!
- Hi.
- Hi! Hi.
Are you okay?
Where's Hope?
Where the hell's Hope?
Iris
Wait, wait, wait.
So you're telling me that this
was all your idea? And not Hope's?
I talked her into it.
So one of you two
left the breadcrumbs?
Bread What breadcrumbs?
Can of peaches on the street?
The graffiti?
The trail one of you
left behind to get us here.
No. She didn't leave those.
She wouldn't.
She? Sh
You're telling me that was Hope.
I'm saying
it couldn't have been on purpose.
She wants to find Dad
as much as I do.
Would you just tell us where she is?
Where the siren is she's going for?
- I can't.
- Iris.
You're smarter than this. Okay?
We're talking about Hope's life.
And if I tell you where she is,
then you and Huck go after her
and get yourselves killed.
There's a plan.
This part of it is hers.
I hate it.
But it's our best chance
of getting out of here alive.
You're just going to
have to trust her,
like the rest of us.
I hate to say it, kid's got a point.
There's a crowd of uglies incoming.
Without some kind of distraction,
we ain't getting out of here.
Don't worry, okay. We can
still get out of this, it's not over.
And then what?
I know how it's going to go now.
How it always goes.
Sh. Let's go.
Oh, hi!
Hi.
This is my dad's lab.
I left my English Lit homework here.
I'll get out of your hair.
See you around.
He left a week ago, for this
Alliance Science Exchange thing.
You know, with the Civic Republic.
I don't know where he is, or
when he'll be back.
My sister's mad at him for going.
I just miss him.
Every family's got something, right?
Bye.
Alright.
Let's see if it's working.
Son of a mother
So, uh,
let me get this straight.
She wants us to find her,
and then all of a sudden
she just goes rogue
and runs kamikaze
into The Blaze? Why?
So we wouldn't have to.
To spare me the responsibility.
I don't know
what's going on with her, but
But what she's doing now
It's not just about Dad.
I, uh
I think
I know why.
Maybe.
Well?
At the tree house
That empty didn't go away by itself.
Hope led it away.
She told me not to tell.
Why?
She, uh She said something about.
"Our mistakes
shouldn't have to follow us."
Okay
What does that ha
Sometimes our mistakes follow us.
Did Hope say anything else?
No.
But I think she's done something
she feels bad about.
Why is that?
Is that what you're doing out here?
Trying to get away from
the things you've done?
Hey, Huck.
Hey.
I shouldn't have come here.
What? Why would you
You have to be different. Strong.
You are strong.
Not in the way I want to be.
What I am
What I've done
It's why I shouldn't
That's why I can't
It's why I didn't even
- I'm sorry.
- Listen.
My sister's going through something,
and I have no idea what it is.
I don't feel strong.
I just want her to be okay.
I don't care about her mistakes,
or yours.
You should.
Silas, what are you so afraid of?
Me.
I'm afraid of me.
I still can't believe
they let him in.
Right? The reason we got walls
is to keep the monsters out.
monsters out
Silas?
You guys there?
Hope! Hope, where are you?
Good news is, I found the siren.
What else?
What's the bad news?
Bad news is, the crank was broken
so I took the whole thing apart
and now I don't know
how to put it back together.
How's your day?
Well, there's someone
who'd like to talk to you.
Hope? Where are you?
Felix? Is it just you?
Huck's here too. Now Hope,
tell me where you are
so I can come find you.
No! No, I'm not putting you in
any more danger, okay?
Just keep everyone safe, alright?
I got this.
Hope, we're all here.
All of us. Let us help you.
Hope?
The second I sound the siren,
it'll clear a path for you.
But you need to haul a
What? Haul what?
Ass!
You need to haul ass to the exit.
Okay, well I'm not very familiar
with that terminology,
and with stakes this high I feel
we should be clear with what we say.
Run, Elton,
just run to the exit, okay?
I will meet you there.
That way,
Felix can chew me out in person.
Now can you please put my sister on.
I'm here.
You can do this!
Like when we were kids, remember?
Listen
I'm not mad.
Just get to the exit.
I will. But if I don't
Hope, please
If I don't,
promise you won't come back for me.
I won't.
Because I won't have to,
because you're gonna make it.
I wish I hadn't had that stupid fight
with Dad before he left.
Look, I still want to find him,
I want to see him
But I just didn't think
we'd be any good to him dead.
I know.
We're going to talk about it.
We're going to make it.
Just haul your ass to that exit
or I will kill you myself.
Got it. No goodbyes, okay?
No goodbyes.
Are you giving me the finger?
Yeah.
Cool.
Haul ass Yeah, I got it now.
Oh my God
Everybody get ready to move.
These'll help with the smoke.
Lucky for you, we brought extras.
- Take the lead, I'll cover your six?
- Yeah.
Silas
I I don't think I can.
Well I do.
You can.
Here we go.
Come on, keep up.
"Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? And what dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars
threw down their spears.
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?"
Monument High's a great,
great way to meet people your age.
This is your new home now.
You get a fresh start.
Yeah!
"Did he who made the Lamb make thee?"
Get them out! I got it.
Come on!
- Wait, I need my bag!
- Elton!
"Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?"
You should have come to me.
Why? So you could try and stop me?
Isn't that what you wanted?
Think about what you want.
Your sister, your friends
They're all counting on you.
Daylight's burning. We should
pack up, get ready to hit the road.
- The road where?
- We're not going back through that.
And the other options on foot
aren't much better, so
We cut up to Omaha, resupply.
The next transfer to the University
is in about two weeks.
That's how we get back.
Avoid The Blaze.
I'm not going back.
Me neither.
You promised me a fresh start.
This is it.
Your uncle's worried sick about you.
You know that, right?
Yeah, I I miss him too, but
I'm supposed to be out here.
I think he would want me to be
where I'm supposed to be.
I'm where I'm supposed to be too.
Great.
Me too.
If you want to keep your promise
then help us find Dad.
He's in New York.
Lieutenant Colonel Kublek
gave us the map.
I know. But you're going to
get yourselves killed.
You realize that, right?
Like you nearly did back there.
So come with us. Both of you.
We're safer together.
And you keep saying there's nothing
you can do to help Dad, but there is.
You can help us help him.
Or don't.
We're going with or without you.
She's got a point.
You know that, right?
There's no turning them around.
Not right now at least.
Keeping them safe is all we can do.
Until there's something more
we can do.
Yeah.
Hey.
Thanks for having our backs,
back there.
What changed?
I guess I did.
I was scared.
I'm just tired of being scared.
Listen, Iris.
There's something I have to tell you.
The night that Mom died
It wasn't you.
And it wasn't empties.
It wasn't people.
It was me.
Hope, what are you talking about?
I haven't told anyone, even after
all of these years, not even Dad.
The pregnant lady we saw that night.
She came back.
And she had a gun.
She was freaked, and I came at her,
and maybe
if I'd done nothing at all she
She shot Mom.
I scared her and she shot Mom.
I killed her.
I shot her.
I picked up the gun
and it went off and I shot her.
You should have told me.
I just didn't want what happened
to change you.
I didn't want what happened
to change the way you saw me.
But you're right.
I should have told you.
Yeah, you should have.
I knew there was something
you didn't tell me.
That night
We were just kids.
And the goddamn sky was falling.
We weren't ready for it,
none of us were, but
Iris, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Okay, okay. I know you are.
We're going to get through this.
We kind of have to.
Come on.
Look, we should go to Omaha.
That's where safety is,
and your dad wants you safe.
Not that either of you
seem to care about that, at all.
Look, this is a mistake, okay?
You're going to see it.
I just hope to God
it doesn't take one of you getting
hurt, or worse, before that happens.
Are you trying to say
you're coming with us?
- You giving me an option?
- Not really.
Then that's what I'm saying.
At least until I can convince you
to just turn around and go back,
which I will.
- Cool.
- Yeah.
For what it's worth,
I'm sorry I dragged you into this.
But I'm kind of glad you're here.
Well
That makes one of us.
And I'm sorry
for stealing your jacket.
- And Will's.
- I mean
Even though
they look really good on us.
Nah, they totally look better
on me and Will.
Yeah, no
Go!
Hey.
So shall we talk about why you went
back inside the devil's asshole
to save some luggage?
It was to save my mom's manuscript.
She never finished the last chapter,
so I want to.
For her, but for me too.
- I know it was irrational to go in
- It was.
But it was also kind of badass.
Silas, Pastor Ridgway said something
in church this morning that stuck.
It was a passage from Isaiah.
He said, "God is great.
He does not faint, or grow weary.
His understanding is unsearchable."
I think that means that even with,
well, the hardest people,
the people with problems,
God loves them.
He does not give up on them.
Hey.
We love you, Silas.
We're so lucky
to be your grandparents.
Life isn't easy kiddo, but it's good.
We make it good.
Lieutenant Colonel?
Sergeant Major Barca.
You're off base. It's late.
I'm due back.
I've been walking this city, and
I found myself here.
Come in.
I can't get what we did
out of my head.
Stand at attention.
You know what we did, Barca.
You know exactly what we did.
So tell me.
Say it.
We neutralized a threat.
That's right.
Ma'am.
With respect, I, uh
They didn't seem like a threat.
Thanks. I just wanted
to talk about the consignment.
We're talking Civic Republic issues,
that's a sensitive one.
Let's do this!
Listen, I believe in the program.
Better minds than me came up with it
and I've seen it succeed
what happens
when I roll it down the deck
We have energy, water,
medicine, transport,
the Council, the courts,
the schools, culture,
currency, an economy,
agriculture, manufacturing,
law.
We are the last light of the world.
We are the last hope.
And we, us,
we enabled this population
of over 200,000 souls
to live.
To create the future.
"They didn't seem like a threat."
They were going to be.
I don't know if I believe that.
Sit down, Barca.
I'll get you some soup.
Answer it.
Go on.
You will be remanded to the CRM
Health and Welfare Complex
until you are deemed ready
to serve again.
Albeit, in a labor-orientated capacity.
I don't think I'll ever
be ready to serve again.
Then you won't be leaving
the Complex.
Do you think about how many died?
We are the light of the world.
That's a lie.
It's a goddamn lie.
You know what we did!
It's a goddamn lie!
Well, that's because of
a scientific principle
called potential and kinetic energy.
You ever heard of those words?
Not really.
Alright.
Well I'll show you
what's going on in there,
and it's relatively easy to make.
But first, I want you to understand
what "potential" and "kinetic" mean.
The word "potential" means "stored",
and the word "kinetic"
means "moving".
Here's what you're doing
with these two forms of energy
inside the can.
When you roll the can down the table,
it's kinetic energy, right,
the energy of motion.
There's part of a pipe
and some elastic bands.
The weight is probably heavier
than the can and the elastic band
