The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

1
We don't know
what happened.
It had to have been
someone else.
Silas isn't a murderer.
Iris
It's not possible.
We've seen him
lose it before.
He was drunk.
Blacked out.
He woke up
covered in blood.
Their blood
He could've stumbled on them
just like us.
He told usthat he doesn't remember,
and I believe him.
All right?
I do.
But we have to look
at the hard facts.
He was angry. He didn't like Percy
Tony and Percy
were grifters.
They must've had enemies.
What if someone
that they ripped off
came back for revenge?
Turned this whole placeupside down.
There's no evidenceanybody
else was in here.
Strangers would've taken
their shit.
He was passed out
at the scene,
his wrenchcovered in Tony's blood.
I don't wanna believe it,
either.
All right? It's the last
thingl wanna believe.
But Huck said it.
We have seen Silas
lose it before.
Hope, come on.
We've heard the storiesabout his dad.
You're all acting like
we don't know him.
Silas is our friend.
He has earned our trust.
There has to be
some other explanation.
Wild animals.
Marauders, even. I
What about Percy?
We never found
his body.
What if he's alive
and he needs our help?
Yes, yes.
He could tell us
what really happened.
We searched, okay?
We did.
For hours.
We found a trail of blood
that stopped at the river.
I mean, even if
he was still alive
there's no way
he could fight that current.
But why would Silas
attack the people
who were trying
to help us?
I don't know.
I think I know why.
Sorry, kid.
Saw this when we made campthe other night.
Come on.
Wasn't my business.
But it is now.
So what?
They're drawings.
They're mine.
Dad?
You.
Wipe that stupid look
off your face and answer me
Do you want to live
in this shit?
Answer me!
Are you a pig?!
Disrespecting the house
that your grandparents
left for us?!
You're gonna make a mess?
I'll teach you!
I'll teach youto disrespect this house!
This is so messed up.
It's just
a couple drawings.
Iris,
you threw these away.
He dug through
our trash
He was a janitor.
It was his job.
Exactly.
It doesn't have to
mean anything.
It doesn't,
but it might.
He likes you,
Iris.
He was different
with you.
We all saw that.
Maybe he saw that you
were different with Percy.
No, I wasn't.
He wasn't
They were in his bag.
We should put them back.
Why?
Iris may not have wanted
those drawings,
but Silas did.
All we have
is what we carry
on our backs.
Obviously, Silas thoughtlris'
work was important enough
to bring with him.
We have no right
to take that away.
Book says
we take him to the City.
Have the OPD
arrest him.
Have a trial.
Yeah.
I know.
So you saying
we turn around,
make the long-ass
walk back?
Maybe it's just you
that takes him.
Now that they know
where their dad is,
the girls aren't justgonna turn back.
I-I gotta
keep them safe.
Kid's twice my size.
All he has to do
is sit down
and we ain't
going nowhere.
Then what do we do?
Decision falls on us.
Do we take him with us
or leave him behind?
I do not know.
You shouldn't
come in here.
It's not safe.
I'm not safe.
I disagreewith your hypothesis.
The only timesl've seen
you engage in violence
were in self-defense
or the defense
of someone else.
I hurt you.
Back at the school.
You were defending Iris.
You want me
to be scared of you.
But I'm not.
Because I don't think that
you would ever hurt anybody
without just cause.
You said it yourself.
You don't remember
what happened.
Is it so hard
for you to believe
that you might
be innocent?
So, the guys
at the plant are saying
that we're gonna relax
power rationing
for the holidays.
No more
"two bulb nights."
Maybe there'll
beChristmas lights this year.
The kids at school
would love that.
Silas,
maybe tomorrow
take you down
to the bazaar,
and you can pick out a gift
for your mom.
Silas?
If you're not going to
believe in yourself,
I'll have to do it
for you.
But I will need
to find proof
that you
were not involved.
If I can't
they're going to
leave you.
Nope.
Yep.
Felix'll shit twice
if he realizes
you're out here.
I was looking
for Elton.
If you're gonna stand there,
might as well be useful.
Can I help you?
The walls
are very thin, Silas.
Do you know
what that means?
It means I hear things
I'd rather not hear.
Now, I need to speak
to your mother.
E-Everything's fine. You don't need to
I'm not leaving
until I see her.
Preferably away
from that piece of human refuse
you call a father.
I don't want to have to go
to the authorities again
Then don't, please.
My mom's at work. She'll be back later.
It's just me.
My dad
doesn't like cops.
I don't want him
to be mad.
Did he hurt you,
Silas?
You can walk out with me
right now.
Wait for your mom
at my place.
I know people that can
make sureyou're both safe.
It'll be okay.
Um, I think
you should leave.
If that's
what you want.
How you doing?
Yeah.
Stupid question.
I know.
You thirsty?
You need anything from us,
you just holler.
Okay?
Hey.
Okay?
Is Iris okay?
One of her friends
is dead.
What if it wasn't me?
Look
I wanna help you,
Silas.
Okay?
But you've got to give me
something to work with here.
I can't remember.
My dad could never
remember anything
when he blacked out, either.
I read your file,
Silas.
You were never convicted.
What happened with your dad
was ruled self-defense.
Was it?
You promised me
a fresh start.
I got one,
probably two people dead.
And on top of that,
I got people inside
that I really care about.
Okay?
And I need
to keep them safe.
What do I do?
Do I trust you
to stay in control?
To not
put everyone else in danger?
I don't
wanna be like this.
Like my dad.
I know you don't.
Easy
It's stupid.
I barely knew
the guy.
And he tried to stealall of our stuff.
Kind of a dick,
actually.
So
he was all right.
Yeah.
He was a mixed bag,
like everybody.
Even Silas.
If you're trying to get
meto forgive and forget
Not saying that.
Feel how
you wanna feel.
Be sad.
Be pissed.
Just keep
asking yourself
how to serve
the greater good.
That's how
you stay focused.
You've got
the wrong sister.
Iris has always beenthe good one.
I'm talking
the greater good.
Doesn't always have to be about
right or wrong.
It's about doing what's best
for everybody,
even when you know
it's gonna hurt.
You all want to get to
the C.R.'s research place?
Help your Dad?
Every choice has to be about
making it there.
Sometimes what's painful
in the moment
is what gets you
where you need to go.
Deep enough.
Hey.
Any progress?
I thought
breaking this code
would be
a good distraction,
but instead it's justreminding me of how
nothing makes sense.
We buried Tony.
And we left markers
for him and Percy.
Even with everything
the blackout,
the blood
I just
I still have this
feelingSilas didn't do it.
Never know
what someone's capable of.
You didn't know
what I was.
One mistakedoesn't make you a bad person.
Silas didn't just
make one mistake.
How many chances
do we get?
Hope We know
where Dad is now.
We are so close.
We can't let anyone
stand in the way of that.
I wanna believe him.
Because if he did it,
I should've
seen it coming.
I should've known.
Not if
he didn't want you to see.
Maybe he thought
he was protecting you.
No, that would only
make it worse.
How?
It'd meanhe let me live in a lie.
Dad?
You in there?
Dad?
You shouldn't be out thereby yourself.
Okay, the last thing we need
is somebody else
getting killed.
Where were you?
Found him
out by the river.
Do me a favor
Keep an eye on him.
I followed
Percy's trail,
looking for evidence
to exonerate Silas.
You find any?
I don't know forensics.
And it's dark,
so no.
Why are you fighting
so hardfor a lost cause?
'Cause it isn't.
Look, we don't know
what happened.
The only fact
I know
is that I haven't had a family
in a long time.
But I have one now.
Even if Silas is guilty,
he deserves our help.
That's what family does.
So you'd just
forgive him?
Let himget away with murder?
I don't think it's something
you get away with.
You still have to live with
what you've done.
We have to focuson the greater good.
What's best
for everyone.
What's best
is for us to stay together.
Dad?
Didn't mean to hurt you.
Just wanted you to stop.
Please.
Silas.
Yeah?
Lie down.
What,
you don't trust me?
Close your eyes.
You wanna hearwhat a
real concert sounded like
before everything
went to shit?
You gotta imagine
thousands of voices,
shouting the words
all around you.
The bass
shaking the sky.
When I saw AC/DC
in '88,
they practically cracked
the arena in half.
This is what music
should be like.
You should feel it
in your entire body.
Feel that?
Yeah.
I feel it.
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hooo!
Silas?
Silas?
Mom!
No!
Mom,
get out of the house!
Mom,
get out of the house!
Stay back.
Stay back.
What the hell?
You should've yelled.
I-I Why didn't you?
I almost
I don't know
if you meant to,
but I think you probably did it.
I'm sorry, but it's just what I think.
Why'd you save me?
Enough people have died.
You asleep?
I don't think any of uscan sleep right now.
Every time
I close my eyes
I keep thinking about
something Hope used
to saywhen we were kids.
That the sky is full of
starsthat have already died.
Empty stars.
Their light carrying on
acrossmillions of miles of space
after they're gone.
It's a graveyard
up there.
Actually, stars visible
to the human eye
are mostly a couple of hundred
light-years away.
We'd be able to tell
if they were in
the early stages of death.
So
The stars that you're looking atup there
they're very much alive.
I hope
that makes you feel better.
It does.
A little.
How are you doing
with everything?
I've been thinking, too.
I've been operating under
a false assumption.
I mean,
there are no laws out here,
and as such,
nothing specifically
empowers the adults
to decide Silas' fate.
I mean, you're the closest
thingto a leader we have.
You should have equal say
in what happens to Silas.
And so should I.
And And Hope.
Elton
This isn't justsome problem to solve.
If you refuse
to exile Silas,
then all we'd need
is one more vote
in our favor.
Then we'd have the majority,
and Silas can stay.
Hope won't
You think Huck?
Not Huck.
He doesn't want
to leave anybody.
If we present
a united front,
I-I think
he'll back us.
It's up to you.
Why'd you keep them?
They were too beautiful
to throw away.
Tell meyou didn't kill anyone.
If you say it,
I'll believe you.
I told you oncewe wouldn't leave you.
Help me keep my promise, Silas.
Iris?
Wait.
I got free last night.
I wanted
to talk to you.
I didn't want you
to see me like this.
Silas
I wish I could tell you
what you need to hear.
I don't remember much.
Just being angry.
It's happened before.
I thinkthere's something wrong with me.
No, Silas
Thank you
for believing in me.
Wanting me
to be a hero.
I wanted that, too.
I killed my dad.
I killed Percy and Tony.
I'm a killer.
I don't want to cause you
any more problems,
so I won't.
I'm sorry you met me.
But I'm glad
I got to know you, Iris.
I'll never forget you.
What happened?
He's gone.
Think he'll
change his mind?
Come back for us?
I don't.
No, all he wanted
was a fresh start.
Maybe now
he'll finally get one.
Yeah.
Are we leaving already?
I have come toa very difficult decision.
I'm leaving
to join Silas.
His odds of survivalincrease dramatically
with suppliesand
somebody watching his back.
You can't.
That's crazy.
If I don't
go after him,
Silas will spendthe rest of his life
thinking thatnobody believes in him.
He'll spend the rest of his life
believing a lie.
I just
I can't
let that happen.
You'll give my best
to the others?
It's going to be too
hardto say goodbye, so
I-I'd rather not.
You're serious.
You're really leaving.
We could never
see you again.
What about our family?
Silas is family, too.
Everything happensthe way it's supposed to.
And I thinkl'm supposed to find him.
And then I thinkl'm supposed to find
my mother
and my sister, too.
Elton Look, I-I
thought it was crazy,
but you were right.
They could still
be out there.
It's just like my father'striceratops horn.
If I could But what if they're not?
Not what?
I lied to you,
Elton.
I thought I was protecting you
from the truth,
but I made it worse.
I don't understand.
You can't keep looking
for someone that's not there.
I can't
let you do that.
I'm so sorry.
You forgave Silas.
Maybe one day,
you'll forgive me, too.
The Night the Sky Fell,
I was with my mom.
There was a woman
with a gun.
I didn't know it
until I saw the picture
in the book, but
it was your mom.
And she was scared.
My mom tried
to calm her down,
and I jumped
between them,
and the gun went off
and my mom
she died.
I don't know
if your mom meant to do it,
but she dropped the gun,
and I picked it up.
I didn't know
what to do,
so I pointed it at her
and it went off in my hand.
Lieutenant Colonel,
we have eyes.
Good.
Bring her in.
She's late,
but she made it.
She did.
This far at least.
It'll only get harder
on this sideof the Mississippi River.
She's aware.
So am I.
With respect,
I just wonder
if there isn't an easier
way to There isn't.
We know there isn't
because she's the one
who was on the ground,
watching and listening
and doing the very hard thing
of becoming someone else
to find out
there isn't.
She knows
it's dangerous.
She knows she could die.
They both could.
She's out here
risking everything
because there's no
easier way.
I was only able to get
awayfor about 48 hours.
I'm not back soon, they'll come looking.
What about the asset?
The asset's safe.
And you?
I'm fine, yeah.
Good.
Clean up,
we'll debrief.
And take this.
Is this
Dad's?
So next time
you won't be late.
