The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020) s02e05 Episode Script

Previously on "The Walking
Dead: World Beyond"
You'll have to lie to him
about what you know.
You know something,
and you're not telling me.
What -- What did --
What did she say?
No, no! Did she do
something to Iris and Felix?
No, Dad,
can you just trust me?!
If the CRM would've
destroyed Omaha,
it would've gone
through my mother.
Alright? She would've
told me. She's lying to you.
That means
the CRM really
This changes everything.
What about Silas?
He's alive.
At a culling and maintenance
post not far from here.
If he's
where she says he is,
I might know a way
to get everybody out.
Uh, so
Hmm?
You really think
this is gonna work?
Yes. You?
Yeah.
How's Hope?
She okay?
I mean, you never
really said anything.
S--
Uh, she .. she's good.
This time tomorrow,
you can ask her yourself.
Hey.
We gotta be close,
right?
Should be
just over this ridge.
Won't be long before this music
fills the whole area with 'em.
Gonna need
an exit strategy.
I'll stay back,
lure 'em into this creek bed,
try
and keep things clear.
The rest of you,
keep moving.
Look, you need help, alright?
Can't be just you.
I'm not
leaving you here alone.
You and Will
stay back.
Us three
will go ahead.
Percy: Yeah, we'll, uh,
we'll go in, we'll make contact,
we'll get out.
Things get dicey,
we'll split.
Smart and safe.
Just like you taught us.
Stay low,
keep to the shadows ..
And watch
for spotters.
We will.
Hey, come on.
Come on.
Alright, next time,
I'll do it.
Yeah, sure.
It's his turn.
Hey, Silas
So, this one usually
gives us trouble, but, um
into it,
should get it done.
I'm gonna go cover the north end
'til he's back.
You know
how to reach us.
Hey.
Not yet.
Just wait.
What're you doing here?
I'm so glad
you're okay.
Good to see you,
big guy.
So they're all dead.
Everyone?
Yes.
My uncle
Look, I'm sorry.
It's so much.
We left, but
We never thought
it'd be gone.
And they took Hope?
And Huck's one of 'em.
She was playing us
the whole time.
For them.
The CRM.
Are you sure
we're safe here?
Yeah.
The guy running this place
left for the facility,
and the others
don't come in here much.
Look, they -- they do treat me
okay here, so maybe
Hope and your dad
are okay, too.
Silas,
an entire city's gone.
The University's gone.
If we're right about this,
what they did was genocide.
If you're right?
We don't have proof,
but we know they did it.
I know.
They're guilty.
We're not wrong.
Not this time.
Elton:
We have a way in.
And Will
knows a way out.
Iris:
This area right here,
they call it
the Detritus Service Terminal.
That's where all the bio hazard
waste gets taken out.
Will says the guy
who runs this place ..
Dennis. Yes. He has
access. A key card.
Now, tomorrow,
you're gonna take Dennis' card.
You're gonna borrow
one of the trucks.
You're gonna
book it over there.
You're gonna use
the card
to open the door
at exactly 2:00 p.m.
We'll time it out
so we're on the other side,
ready for you
to get us out.
Then we take off
and head right for Portland.
Portland?
We can tell them
what happened.
They can
keep us hidden.
Elton: You'll have
a 20.minute window at best.
As soon
as you're a mile out,
long-range security
will spot you,
and they'll call it in
to the gate guards.
If you haven't checked in
with official business by then,
they'll come looking.
What if I can't?
They're just starting
to trust me here.
You are
the only chance we have.
I could tell Dennis
Percy: What?
I.I think he'd help us.
No -- That's what
he wants you to think.
He's the enemy.
He's one of them.
I get it,
but he's not like Huck.
Okay, I just --
I don't think he could know
the CRM did something like that
and be okay with it.
If I tell him --
You tell him any of this,
we're dead.
They're liars.
They're the reason
the only family we got is dead.
Iris: I know it's a lot,
but time's not on our side.
And we can't do this
without you.
Are you in?
Roger that.
Dennis: Looks like
you could use it.
Dropping off
some work orders.
Marjorie still brews
the best cup of coffee
outside Trabruzzi's.
Read they started brewing
actual coffee.
Thanks for
the other night.
Probably should've led
with that.
Not just
for the truck.
For trusting me.
We're still married.
I used to know
exactly what you were thinking.
One look and I knew
where things stood.
Now
Now I just
have to "trust you."
It's different now.
Everything.
All of it.
It was always
gonna happen.
Civilian oversight
after 10 years.
Part of
the Founding Compact.
Thing is, no one knew
what the hell
"10 years later"
would look like.
If you ask me,
after Omaha,
we're back at square one.
So why's the civilian government
pushing for it so hard?
Don't they trust us?
They should.
I mean, there's always
been friction
between the military
and the politicians
But
we've all bought in
to what we're doing.
Yeah
Elton:
It's Silas.
He'll come around.
We exiled him.
He exiled himself.
When I heard
you turned yourself in,
I didn't know if they were
gonna leave you alive or ..
I didn't, either. I only
let you walk away
because I thought
it was what you wanted.
That's not why I'm --
It's just .. It's a lot.
I know.
You --
You're sure it was a CRM?
All of 'em?
Oh, it was them.
We have to get
Hope and my dad out.
You, too.
Silas,
we need you.
Please say
you'll help us.
Okay.
So you're in?
We were
kind of eavesdropping.
2:00 p.m., tomorrow.
Detritus Terminal.
I'll be there.
Thank you.
Now
if anything
happens to us,
if we don't make it there
in time for whatever reason
just go.
You wait for us,
you'll get caught.
Don't worry about us,
just take care
of yourself.
Okay?
Okay.
You guys should go.
Yeah, thanks,
big guy.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Um
This is just something
I drew.
Hope.
Hope, wake up.
Mm.
What?
What's happening?
A team's heading out
to look for Iris and Felix,
and I'm
going with them.
They're finally
letting me.
No, no, no,
Dad, you can't.
You can't -- I should've
told you. It's okay.
Raising a little hell,
not taking no for an answer,
it finally paid off.
Just like it did
with Will and ..
Ellis: The potential
for growth in this field
is astounding.
Woman: Potential's
an understatement.
Lyla: Not potential,
then.
Trajectory.
Hope.
Just the young mind
we were looking for.
I wanted to talk to my dad,
but, you know, I could just go.
Hey, hey
you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I'm still trying to find answers
about Felix
and your sister,
but
Professor Ellis called early
this morning and discovered ..
Am I in trouble?
No. No.
Oh.
Come in.
Hope you don't mind,
but I took the liberty
of doing a little
extracurricular noodling,
applying
your yeast theory
to your dad's
fungal decay research, and
Would it work?
Try rephrasing that
as a statement.
Hope,
this is Dr. Amanda Siegel,
one of the most
well.respected mycologists.
Once your dad and Dr. Ellis
looped me in,
I asked her to tag along
on his fishing expedition
on the chance
that something were to bite.
It did.
We've identified
three strains of yeast
which we believe,
with some
additional augmentation,
could greatly accelerate
necrotic decomposition.
There's a lot of work
yet to be done,
but it's sparks
like this
that'll one day light a path
to a new world
where the dead have been
neutralized as a threat.
You should be proud,
Hope.
It's early,
but this could be big.
Uh, uh --
could you guys excuse us?
I just need
to talk to my dad alone.
I know this potential
breakthrough is bad timing,
but -- I saw Iris
the other night.
What?
Huck took me to see her
and Felix.
And --
And Will is there, too.
And they're not
that far.
Hmm?
There's a lot that
I haven't told you.
You're going to
turn yourselves in?
That's our plan.
Me and Felix.
Why not
you and Percy?
We're not
the CRM's priority.
It's better if we stay
on the outside.
Yeah.
Felix: And we'll approach
from the south,
so it doesn't look like we
crossed through your territory.
Still, a willing surrender
may draw suspicion.
What if
we turned you in,
made it look like
we caught you?
It would look
less suspicious.
And it would show the CRM that
we're honoring our agreement.
You would do that?
Of course.
But my concern
is for you.
Escaping
will be dangerous.
And from
what I gathered,
your sister didn't seem
so eager to leave.
That was before
she knew the truth.
She's my sister.
She'll leave.
Will:
Once they're out,
they'll pick up me, Elton,
and Percy a mile west from here.
We'll lie low
for a while,
maybe at that underground mall
near Cornell that you mentioned.
Then,
once things blow over,
we all head west.
With the CRM,
things don't just "blow over."
If you need help on the inside,
you'll be all alone.
Percy: Yeah.
Me and Will --
we found a way
that they can get a message out
if the plan changes.
It's a dead drop.
How?
You've said your supplies
come in from the CRM
late in the day,
right?
The first Wednesday
of every month?
That's tomorrow.
Elton:
If this plan works,
we'll finally
be out of your hair.
It hasn't been so bad
having you in our hair.
You'll get
to see Hope.
Are you sure this is
what you want to do?
Knowing what
you could lose?
It's their turn
to lose.
And I'm gonna make
damn sure they do.
All set?
Just about.
Uh, when Indira turns us in,
they'll take our weapons,
so I wanted you
to have this back.
It got me
over a thousand miles.
Helped me feel
brave.
Strong.
You already were.
This was just there to be
what you needed it to be.
Well, now it can be
whatever you need it to be.
Thanks.
Hey.
The one that killed Romano,
tried to kill you ..
He have a name?
I'm just asking
for a friend.
Smart and safe.
Yeah.
You get in there,
you get out.
I thought I lost you
once before.
You won't.
This isn't goodbye.
Are you sure
I can't come with you?
Help you
escape from the inside.
I'm good at
getting outta places.
Hmm.
I.I could say I'm ..
I'm somebody from
the University. Right.
I could say --
But we can't risk it.
You can't risk it.
I'll see you
on the other side.
It's time to go.
Here.
These are
for your wrists.
We'll tie you up and
blindfold you when we're close.
Here we go.
So
Yeah.
you and Iris,
huh?
That's cool.
Yeah,
you and Asha?
What's going on there?
What. Wait.
You --
You think we're?
No. No. No.
No way.
I mean, we're leaving
tomorrow. Mm.hmm.
And she's got a lot
going on.
I mean,
I can't even
Shit's messy.
Yeah.
So much for making
our lives count, huh?
I thought that's
what we were doing.
Yeah.
So did I.
What?
Why do people keep
looking at me like that?
Sentries?
Not exactly.
What he hell
are you doing here?
Indira: We are not far
from a checkpoint.
A patrol could be here
any minute.
You should go.
Now. I.I know, but .. Listen.
I can pickpocket,
I can pick locks,
I can help you --
No.
If they see you,
it could be over.
Is this about helping us
or killing Huck?
Look, I -- I want --
I want Huck dead.
Not like before.
Not by putting anybody else
at risk.
By what?
By being Elton?
Hmm?
Listen, you say yes,
I'll do whatever I got to do.
I'll kill a hundred
of those assholes.
I don't care.
Whatever I gotta do
to get you out safe.
Then what?
What happens to you?
Then I'll, uh,
well, then, I'll finish
what I set out to do.
And, uh,
I'll try to make it out.
And I'll
find you again.
Look, I'm sorry, okay,
but we can't risk this.
It's too late.
They're coming.
You get the rope.
I'll get the blindfolds.
Elizabeth: And Indira said
she found them yesterday?
Pierce: Her story checks out
with theirs.
We separated
and questioned them.
No apparent
inconsistencies.
Send for
Staff Sergeant Mallick.
Yes, ma'am.
Staff Sergeant Mallick?
The Lieutenant Colonel
is looking for you.
Hello, Iris.
Officer Carlucci.
And, uh,
Elton Ortiz, is it?
Uh, you're the one
keeping us here?
Well, I thought it'd be impolite
not to stop by.
To say hi?
You've made
quite the journey.
Mm.
More than a thousand miles.
Perilous miles.
Only to have the Perimeters
apprehend you.
That must've been
quite concerning.
They had blades
at our necks.
Thought we were screwed
'til we showed 'em the map
that you gave the girls,
told 'em we were looking for the
CR's research facility, and
here we are.
Iris: It's been
over 10 hours.
Yeah.
We could use something to eat.
How's the ankle,
Officer?
May I call you Felix?
Of course.
It must be quite odd to be
on the other end
of the intake questioning.
Let's see it.
That's freshly bandaged.
Yeah.
So, did Indira's people
help you with that?
Indira?
Their leader.
No.
Uh, right before
we found Elton,
we stopped at
a retirement home miles back.
Place was
fully stocked.
We got lucky.
Mm.
Uh, are we good?
I'd really like
to see my dad.
I'm sure you would.
It's a process.
Finally found 'em,
huh?
Is this why
you wanted to see me?
That place
where you left them.
Were there
medical supplies?
Yeah,
there were.
Why?
You said you didn't
consider them to be a threat.
You still believe that?
They won't be happy
finding out who I am
or that I faked
their dad's messages.
But when they realize
that Hope's here
and that they don't have
a home to go back to
that'll help keep things
in perspective.
Mm.
We'll need to keep
a close eye on them.
Their trust
will need to be earned.
Trust is everything
between people,
wouldn't you agree,
Jennifer?
Of course.
Mm.
Mm.
Corporal Pierce said
that she found you in my office.
Was curious if you
had lunch plans.
Do I now?
They've taken
our home
taken away
all our choices
I keep picturing us
running away,
getting to where
Iris and Felix are
But this place
is a prison.
It is.
But
what if
it's also the future?
I don't mean the CRM --
the researchers?
The research?
Look, even if we could run,
do you really think ..
Oh.
You're here.
Yeah, I'm here.
I'll explain everything.
Yes?
I have a question.
Go ahead.
A bunch of empties found
their way into the creek bed.
Yeah.
Tiga called that in.
Those empties are pretty
screwed up from the fall.
I thought maybe
I could clear 'em out.
Is the question coming?
Yeah. Uh
Would you mind if I borrowed
the box truck
to tow 'em
to the dump site?
You know
how to drive?
My uncle taught me.
Oh.
Yeah.
Swipe this for access
and have the truck back by 3:00.
I will.
Oh, and Plaskett?
Yeah?
Good work
these past couple days.
It's gonna get tougher
when the rains come
and the heat of the summer
when the new recruits come in,
but by then,
this'll be old hat.
Thanks.
I'm glad
we're doing this.
Um, I'm going to be
leaving again.
Some official business
with Major General Beale.
Oh, yeah?
I'm sorry
for questioning you before.
About Omaha.
I was just,
uh, tired
exhausted from the weight
of everything.
I guess maybe being under
for that long
took more out of me
than I thought.
The secrets,
lying to everybody
all day, every day.
I can only imagine.
I know
that I tend to favor
the tough side
of tough love.
I only hope that when you have
your own child someday,
you'll understand
what you would do
to protect them
in this world.
To make them stronger.
So that they can do
the excruciatingly hard things
that need to be done to protect
the world from itself.
You -- You remember that summer
on, uh, Block Island?
I think you were 4,
m.maybe 5
and we used to go eat at
that Italian place on the beach.
You'd always
get the Bolognese
and then get it
all over yourself.
And then, after dinner,
I'd scoop you up
and carry you
into the ocean
and wash it off.
It became our thing.
I don't remember.
I wish you did.
Yeah.
I wish I did, too.
You were
so gentle then.
So trusting.
I couldn't bear
the thought
of anyone else
destroying that in you.
So
You should put the pasta in
before it gets to a hard boil.
Wait.
Y-You want us to leave now?
Why today?
Why 2:00 p.m.?
The guard shift happens
at 2:00.
Will's got this
all mapped out.
It's the only way
we can get out of here
without
anybody noticing.
Yeah,
but if they do,
I'm gonna hang back,
give you guys cover.
And it's when Silas
is meeting us
at the
Detritus Service Terminal.
Wait. Hold on. You
were with Silas? Yes.
He's coming with us.
It's a long walk
to Portland.
Dangerous.
We got here,
we'll get there.
They need to know what
their "alliance partner" did.
If they catch us,
they could kill us.
Kill all of you.
They want you and Hope working
towards the future, right?
If we get caught,
why not leverage that
for our safety?
This is our best chance --
and right now our only chance ..
To be a family again
on our terms.
Is this
what you want?
Look, you said it was about
making our own choices.
And right now,
this is
the only choice we've got.
I need
to say goodbye to Lyla.
Or
maybe she could come.
UhLyla.
Is she ..
The only person
outside this room we can trust.
I have to
talk to her.
Thought you'd be
packing up.
There's not much
to pack.
My mom's not too thrilled
about Percy.
Will's not too thrilled
I let him go.
Why did you?
We've all got
our choices to make.
And that was his.
And mine was staying back
with Will.
And with someone who's
only been honest with me.
Someone who's made
everything seem like, uh
a little bit less of a mess,
I guess.
I'm rhyming.
My mom's sick.
Not me.
I lied to you.
What?
Why -- I did it to
protect her secret.
Some of the people here
have different ideas
about how this place
should be run.
If Brody or anyone else
found out my mom
had a private agreement
with the CRM
it'd be used
against her.
She's the only thing
keeping us together.
I'm sorry.
Promise me
you won't tell anyone.
Is she gonna be okay?
As long as she keeps getting
what she needs from the CRM.
Maybe it's all a mess.
Maybe there's
no avoiding it.
Maybe we're idiots
to think we can.
Well,
if it helps at all
I've come to realize I'm
that kind of idiot all the time.
I should, uh,
probably get going.
Hey.
It was nice
meeting you.
It was nice
meeting you, too.
Whoa.
Terry, I'm sorry.
Everything alright? Yeah.
H.Have you seen Dr. Belshaw?
She's not
in her office.
I think I saw her
in the teaching lab
'bout an hour ago.
It's just down there
on the right.
Yeah.
We need to talk.
What the hell
are you doing here?
Now.
I wouldn't be coming to you
if it wasn't life or death.
Please.
You've got
less than one minute
to tell me
what the hell this is about.
Look, I don't know what
Hope's told you
about Omaha
and the Campus Colony
but these are coded
CRM transmissions
proving that the military
brought in those empties.
What are you
talking about?
See these letters
and numbers?
They're not part
of the CRM code.
It's the coding system
for test subjects.
I don't know
how all of it fits,
but some of the people
killed back home
were being used
for research.
Research I think is still
being done right here.
I need
your help finding out
what the hell's going on
and who's involved
so we can stop it.
Stop!
Hands high!
One false move,
we shoot.
I just got word.
The new TS has arrived?
As you requested.
Came in
from the Civic Republic.
Male.
Age 24.
Healthy.
He's a soldier
Keep him sedated while
we establish baseline vitals.
I realize this is my last chance
to get this right.
Please assure
Lieutenant Colonel Kublek
that I will.
The Lieutenant Colonel's
been called
to the Civic Republic
indefinitely.
Until further notice
you'll be answering
to me.
