The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020) s02e04 Episode Script

Family Is a Four Letter Word

Previously on "The Walking
Dead: World Beyond"
Hey there.
I come in peace.
I don't understand.
We lure the dead in
with lights and music,
blow 'em up,
then we clean 'em up.
Silas: Where's he going?
CR's Research Facility.
Why you asking?
Know someone there?
So I don't give a damn about
how you justify your lies.
You find my daughter.
I thought you were
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought
I was, too.
Hope we're not causing
too many problems.
I need you to take me
to Iris and Felix.
Percy: What she did
to my uncle.
Huck is gonna pay
for what she did.
Margaret:
Daniel. Daniel, get back.
She's turning.
Daniel:
No, she's still breathing.
I think
I think she's waking up.
There you are.
Try not to move.
Arm's broke,
but help's on the way.
Down here!
Looks like you've
been through it.
Lord knows how long you've been
floating down that river.
Thank God
the OPD is quick.
Welcome to Omaha.
Can you tell us
your name, dear?
Save your strength.
We'll just call you --
Indira:
Staff Sergeant Mallick.
Indira.
It's been
quite some time.
What brings you
out so far?
Iris?
Iris?!
Hope?
Iris!
You hesitated.
The first two
we've seen.
Few more might've made it in
from the breach.
I'll be sure that
lndira knows about that.
Hope?
And Huck.
What're they --
No, no. Hey, stop.
If she sees you right now .. No.
Hey!
Look, there could be
more of them.
Alright, we gotta
be smart about this.
Yeah.
We do.
-Stay here.
.Felix ..
I can't believe
you're here.
Is Dad with you?
Uh, no, it's just us.
Huck had to
sneak me out.
Where's Dad? Is he okay?
Yeah, he's fine. He's fine.
Hope.
Felix?
Hi.
Felix!
Huck:
What do you know?
Just like old times.
Asha:
I don't get it.
Why's Staff Sergeant Mallick
here with your friend?
I don't know.
You good?
You alright?
Hope: Yeah.
Yeah? Yeah. A lot's happened.
I hope you're not
bringing trouble, Jennifer.
I'm not.
Does your mother know
you're here?
She doesn't.
And she won't.
I just want
to talk to them.
Alone.
You're aware this place
has not seen bloodshed
since its founding.
I'd like to keep it
that way.
Yes, ma'am.
So, it's Jennifer, huh?
That's nice.
Why are you here,
Jennifer?
What do you want?
Hope:
What we want
is for you and Iris
to come back with us.
Man: 1, 2, 3, 4!
Webb: Clear a path!
Grady, move in!
Tiga, watch his six!
Open the gate!
Today, Plaskett!
Grady, move!
Tiga, eyes on Webb!
Speed it up!
Let's go! Let's go!
Come on, let's go!
Grady,
get that in the cage!
Webb, Tiga --
you got strays to put down!
The hell's wrong with you?
Move!
What died up his ass
and came back to life?
Dennis: Plaskett!
Plaskett!
Plaskett!
I said cut the music
and prep for cleanup!
Yeah, sorry, I --
I don't care.
You're not here.
Unless you wanna end up
on the wrong end of a kill stick,
pay attention!
Don't.
When we're done here
you're coming with me.
Felix:
What are you talking about?
Why the hell
would we go with you?
You wouldn't.
We'd take you
most of the way,
then you'd make like you found
the place on your own.
What is this about?
Being together.
Keeping you safe.
Keeping Dad safe.
You said
Dad was okay.
He is, okay?
He's .. He's worried, okay?
And I'm worried
he's gonna stir shit up
if we don't bring you back soon.
Iris, he could get hurt.
Or worse.
Meanwhile, the CRM's
looking for you
back at the retirement
home .. No. No.
Not your mom.
No, she was just here,
with soldiers.
Is that -- Is that --
Is that why you're here now?
Use Hope
to lure us out?
Hey. You okay?
I don't know.
I.I.I can't really, um
She knows.
She knows I'm here.
They can't see us
back here.
I-I --
S-She just knows, okay?
I
I'm sorry.
I can't be here right now, um
Where are you going?
Hope: There was a woman
with a gun.
It was your mom.
Sit still.
The more you squirm,
the longer this'll take.
You a fan?
My dad was into music.
Well, rock,
mostly, but
I was more into
guitar riffs.
You play?
No.
I'm not, uh,
too coordinated.
How'd this happen?
So, does the music ever,
like, bring people here?
People from
the Research Facility, or
people looking
for the ..
The only people you need
to worry about
are the ones
not breathing.
Gonna have you down in
the action with the crew soon.
No point having you working
the lights and sound forever,
kid your size.
Okay.
Go like this.
Just like that.
You don't exercise that hand,
nerves won't heal right.
All you have to do is play dumb
about knowing I was CRM,
about the code books,
the fuel caches,
and you'll be good.
My mom will take you in.
You'll be safe.
"Safe."
It's just one lie.
What about Omaha?
That just one lie,
too?
Wait.
Uh, you knew?
I-I didn't know that you knew.
I was gonna tell you ..
Felix: So it's true?
It's just gone?
The Campus Colony, too.
The CRM couldn't mobilize
fast enough to save either one.
Or maybe they were the ones
who made it happen.
It was the dead,
a giant cluster.
No. I think you
killed those people.
The empties were just
a cover-up'
We're about bringing
the world back.
Why would we kill
a hundred thousand people ..
Why don't you tell us?
This is crazy.
Do you know something?
If you're asking
if I can prove it, I can't.
But there is no way in hell
I am going anywhere with her.
No. Hey, no, where
are you going?
I have nothing else to say
in front of her.
This is not
about her!
It's about Dad!
Don't you wanna see him?
Of course
I wanna see him!
But we would be idiots to go
back in there without a way out.
She's absolutely right.
We are not doing this.
What about Silas?
What about Silas?
He's alive.
At a culling and maintenance
post not far from here.
He's being
taken care of.
I made sure of it.
You come with us,
you get to see him, too.
Did you know?
Have you seen him?
This is the first that
I'm hearing about this.
-Because she's lying!
.It's the truth.
I just didn't wanna
complicate things
any more than
they already are.
Come with us
and you'll see.
I wanna talk to you.
Alone.
Hey!
What's up with you?
You shouldn't be
out here.
What is this place?
Nothing.
Just an old
hunting blind.
No, no, it's got all kinds
of medical supplies from the CR.
Is someone from your group sick?
Why is it hidden?
Look, this doesn't have
anything to do with you, okay?
Forget
you saw anything.
So then, what is this?
Part of some secret side deal?
Shouldn't your mom know
about this?
She already does.
I'm the one who's sick.
Plaskett.
Going somewhere?
Um, I was --
Well, I was just ..
Looks to me like
he was trying to bail on us.
-No. No, I wasn't.
.Yeah.
You were.
Are you gonna
tell Dennis?
No.
See, Plaskett
out here?
We take care of our shit
our own way'
I'm taking a walk.
No, you're not.
Not alone.
I know it's only been
a few days, but
you just seem older
or something.
You're the one who's
older.
I-I can't believe
I missed your birthday, Hope.
Oh, it's okay.
Dad put a candle
in my eggs, so
That sounds like Dad.
Yeah.
This is the first time that
he's been distracted by work
since I got there.
Seeing him okay,
with all those other doctors
from Portland and Omaha
that are just like him
I think I'm starting to get it,
why he's so into it,
why -- why it's
so important.
So, Dad's
happy?
Not with the CRM,
but
He has a girlfriend.
What?
Shut up.
I'm serious.
She's really smart.
She's a scientist.
This guy Mason says she's, like,
a really big deal or something.
Mason?
Who's Mason?
Oh, he's just a guy.
He's in some of my classes.
It's not how it sounds.
It sounds like
you're meeting guys.
And talking about
Dad's girlfriend as if it's ..
Iris, I'm trying to get us
back together
so we can figure things out
in a way that's smart.
What's smart
is you staying here
so we can get Dad out
together.
If I stay here,
they'll find us all
before we even
get a chance.
Look, at the facility,
we can --
we can take our time,
w-we can think things through.
We can plan.
We'd be prisoners.
We'd be alive.
Portland is
2,700 miles away,
and there is no way
we'll get there
with a target on our back,
and you know it.
Our home is gone.
We are all we have.
Yeah, I know.
How'd you find out?
About home.
I don't wanna
talk about it.
Just say you'll
come back with us.
Hope.
I can't.
You can.
And you should.
But I get it.
You won't.
Listen.
I need to tell you
something.
Don't.
No, we're not doing this.
Felix
Leo and Hope
don't even know.
Know what?
My mother.
She sent a team out
on a recon mission.
And, um
It went bad.
They lost Will.
I know what
he meant to you.
And I can't even begin
to tell you how ..
Then don't!
How the hell
did it get in?
They'll come --
They'll come looking ..
And they'll find you bit.
Turned.
Miles from here.
Another dead asshole
roaming the Earth.
Felix!
No, I'm not gonna
kill you tonight.
No, I just wanted to know what
it's gonna feel like when I do.
Enjoy your walk,
Jennifer.
-Webb: Come on, move it.
.Silas: Where are you taking me?
Tiga: Shut up!
This is it.
Grady: So, what exactly happens
if he doesn't make it out?
Webb: Tough shit.
What's the point
of being here
if he's just gonna
screw shit up for us?
He's gotta learn.
Swing at anything
that moves.
Holy shit balls.
How many down
is that?
9, 10?
In under
two minutes.
Almost broke
your record.
Yeah, right.
I tapped a full baker's dozen
my first time.
You know,
for the record,
I was only a little
on board with this.
What the hell
is this place?
We call it
The Parade.
It's our
training facility.
It's where we practice,
keep sharp.
It's Dine and Dash.
You dash or they dine.
Theoretically, of course,
on account of them
not having
working mouths or teeth.
But -- did Dennis
set this up?
We made it ourselves.
But he knows about it.
Look, we want
outta here, too.
Just in
a different way.
Why do you think we're out here
busting our asses every day?
We put in the time,
do well,
Dennis tells
the people upstairs.
Then maybe we get bumped up
into CRM training.
Officially.
That's why we made this
extra spicy.
And we were ready to jump in,
but damn.
You handled it.
And, look, you promise to have
our backs, we'll have yours.
It's all good, man.
So
no hard, right?
Felix: Hey.
The hell'd you go?
I know this is gonna sound
crazy, but I think I just saw
Percy coming
from the armory.
Look at this.
This was here
when I got in.
What?
I think
this is Percy's.
Shit.
Armory's open.
Shit.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Where you going?
Hey, I think he's alive.
Okay?
I think Percy's alive, and if
he is, he's going after Huck.
And if we don't get him first,
he's gonna get us all killed.
Dennis:
Plaskett.
You gonna tell me
where you're off to?
Everybody's running
from something.
The crew can be tough.
And the work is
work.
But this isn't the end.
This is us saving ourselves
from the end.
Webb just got accepted
into basic training.
He's leaving tomorrow.
I'm gonna need you
to step up.
I was trying
to find my friends.
We were going cross-country
together before we got split up.
And someone
in the group
she's dangerous.
A-A killer.
And the others
might not even know.
Maybe they do.
Maybe they already
handled it.
You don't know Huck.
"Huck"?
Kid, I don't care
what she's done.
You're not allowed to be afraid
of some battle.axe named "Huck."
I can't just give up.
I can't.
Well, you can be a part
of something here, Plaskett.
Your friends
they're probably a lot stronger
than you think.
Just going off to find them
in the great big nothing?
How does that work,
really?
How do you do that?
You don't.
Running away
that's giving up.
Got an early morning.
I suggest you get some sleep.
Do me a favor?
Take that bottle.
I'm sick of
staring at it.
Use it
to clean your hand.
Plaskett?
You get one
screw.up here.
That was your one.
Hey!
No.
Will: Yeah, it's me.
No!
Will?
Will, what the hell
did you do?
This doesn't make
any sense'
I thought you were dead. Yeah.
We had to make the CRM
think I was
to throw them
off my trail.
They're trying
to kill me.
They killed Romano.
They want me dead.
So, as long as I keep
the dialysis thing going,
I feel fine.
No big deal.
Nobody else knows, except
.. My mom and my brother.
Sucks having to rely
on the CRM, but
I just don't want people
looking at me different.
You're looking at me
different.
Sorry.
It's just, um
Y-You're very
So, what was up with you
bugging out back there?
Well, uh
Things with my friend Hope
are, um"'
messy'
We're all scrambled up.
You know, I used to believe
that my mother and my sister
were still out
in the world somewhere.
But, uh
that was just a dumb story
I told myself to feel better.
What do you think happens
to things when they die?
Well, they, uh
break down into their
original compounds.
But after they're absorbed
into the ground, then what?
Then they're reabsorbed
by plants ..
Plants that become food
for an insect
that's eaten by a bird
or another animal.
The original thing's now part
of a bunch of other things.
But just because their matter
lives on, there's
no proof
their consciousness does.
So?
I have faith
that it does.
I should go
find my mom.
Thanks for
keeping my secret.
I -- I th--
I think you're very brave.
That's what I was trying
to tell you earlier.
You should talk
to your friend.
Maybe she can make things
a little less
scrambled.
I was onto the truth
about Omaha.
That's why they tried
to kill me.
To cover up
what they did.
They were just trying to keep
Omaha quiet till we got Hope there,
so Leo wouldn't think
that his family was dead.
Oh, come on.
That's bullshit.
That doesn't mean
they were behind ..
Are you blind?
Or just really
that stupid?
If the CRM would've
destroyed Omaha,
it would've gone
through my mother.
Alright?
She would've told me.
Open your eyes.
She's lying to you.
You've spent your whole life
lying to everyone around you.
What makes you think
she's any different?
Sun'll be up soon.
I need to find Hope
and go.
No. No.
So you can tell them
about Will?
About all of us?
I won't.
You have my word.
You have every reason
to hate me.
But like it or not,
I'm the closest thing
to a friend in the CR you got.
Bye.
Be safe, kid.
Hope:
Take care, okay?
So, we're really
doing this?
What they tried
to do to Will
that means
the CRM really
You should've told me.
This changes everything.
I wanted to tell you.
Why didn't you?
I don't know.
I
Maybe I should've.
Anything else
I should know?
Gonna miss you.
We will get you and Dad
out of there.
We will.
Just tell him
not to worry.
And that I'm okay.
I wish I could.
Will:
Did you talk to Percy?
I read him the riot act.
He was only doing
what you wanted to.
You know that, right?
But I didn't.
Look, I'm glad
that he's okay.
We can't stay here.
It's not safe
for us anymore.
It's not safe
for you.
The smart play for Huck
is to keep this quiet.
She tells the CRM,
she exposes herself.
It's mutually assured
destruction.
I'm not gonna
lose you again.
We'll find a way
out of this.
How're we gonna do that?
Hmm?
I don't even know how to
save Hope and .. and Leo.
Now Silas --
Silas?
Wait. He's with
them, too? Oh, no.
Huck said something about a --
about a culling outpost?
What?
It's a long shot, but if
he's where she says he is
I might know a way
to get everybody out.
Sorry.
I-I-I can, uh --
can come later.
No, it's okay.
Come in.
How are you
holding up?
You know, killing has-beens,
that's, uh .. that's easy.
I lost track.
But a person?
I never wanted something so bad
in my entire life.
You wanted justice.
And I think we're both willing
to go a little further
than most people
to get it.
I thought my sister was
like that, too.
Are you mad
Will stopped you?
You know, she shouldn't
be able to walk around
like what she did
doesn't matter.
But I-I sh-- I should've been
thinking about everyone.
About Will.
Felix.
You.
Percy
I-I should, uh
I should go.
Elizabeth:
Today we honor a part of us.
A part of our Alliance
of the Three.
The fallen city of Omaha
and its Campus Colony.
The tragedy that befell
our sister city
is an immeasurable loss
that reminds us just how
precious each and every life is.
As the Civic Republic's
military emissary to Omaha,
I feel this loss
very personally.
Deeply.
But now is not the time
for doubt.
To question our resolve.
We could lose everything.
If Elton tells anyone
if people find out --
They won't.
'Cause I told him I was
the one who was sick.
Now more than ever, we have
to stand strong, united,
as one alliance.
Dennis:
Congratulations.
Transport's picking you up
in two hours.
Elizabeth: For the Civic
Republic and its military
are forever bound to you,
Portland, as you are to us.
Today, on behalf
of Major General Beale,
I pledge to the citizens of
Portland and the Civic Republic
that these tragedies
will serve as a clarion call
for our military to stand
even more firmly resolved
ready to fight for our survival,
for the survival
of our alliance,
and for the survival
of humankind.
And as we pray for the souls
we've lost,
we say to you,
our allies in Portland ..
Stay strong, stay vigilant,
and may God bless us all.
Jennifer.
Huck: Hey.
Were you watching?
I hope I didn't come across
as nervous'
No.
If you were, you did
a good job covering.
Good.
It's been a bloody awful
difficult three days.
I'm sorry that I didn't
make your reinstatement.
I -- I got called
to the CR
on some urgent matter at
the Health and Welfare Complex.
It's handled, but I was
wondering if we could ..
How many actually survived
in Omaha?
You have their names?
You said they were
airlifted out.
You know that that, uh ..
That kind of
confidential information
is above
a staff sergeant's rank.
I'm not asking as
a staff serg.. Don't.
You've only just gotten back
what you lost
after a horrendous error
in judgment.
I would hate
for someone
to think that you hadn't
learned your lesson.
Felix: You spent your whole life
lying to everyone around you.
What makes you think
she's any different?
I'm ready.
Why did you do that?
Raft's ready,
team's waiting.
Can we just
get this over with?
I'm going to miss you.
Always know
that I love you.
