The Walking Dead s11e14 Episode Script

Previously on "The Walking Dead" I sent out a convoy for that other thing.
It was hijacked.
Troopers guarding it, all dead.
I need a surgical solution.
There's a group of about 40 people holed up in an apartment complex.
We want to make first contact and offer them help.
What did you do? My job.
- Negan? - Gabe.
Where are my weapons? I don't know.
- Sir.
- Hmm? Thank you.
Home Fire 1, this is Open Range, do you copy? Copy, Open Range.
Status? Location secured, brother.
Fantastic.
The shipment? We're searching floor by floor.
The residents haven't been very cooperative.
I'm surprised.
These people have regressed into God knows what.
It's like getting mad at a rat that can't tell right from wrong.
Yeah, well, the small taste of some law and order will help them remember.
It sure will.
Keep me posted.
Copy.
Sir.
What? We've got two down at the east exit.
No! No, no! - Daryl.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Was just looking for you.
Yeah? Been doing a little more of the side thing lately.
Anything else about home? - Not exactly, but - Dixon.
You joining us today? Yeah.
You want to have lunch later? Yeah.
Noon at the diner? It's a date.
Okay.
What? Just really living up to that stereotype.
I mean, I liked 'em before.
No? Mm.
Good morning.
Today's duty assignments are as follows Douglas and Ross, Sector A.
Lim and Baker, you're B.
McHugh and Howell, take C.
And Espinosa and Dixon, I want you on Sector D.
Any questions? Alright, let's get to it.
You're just staring at those teeth.
You see, the problem that most people have is when they start to panic.
But when I'm around the rotters, my heart rate actually goes down.
Dixon's seen it.
Seen what? How I handle myself with the rotters.
Come on.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's, uh It's good stuff.
Hey, Dixon, Espinosa What's up? Swarm's been spotted near the north perimeter.
We've been assigned to check it out.
Vicker says we only work patrol.
Yeah, and now she wants to see what you can do outside the walls.
Look, your sector's covered, so let's go.
Come on! One more step, you die.
Drop your weapons.
You first.
Not happening.
We're here to help.
And who the hell are you? - I'm - Her name is Maggie.
Jesus.
Everybody.
Let's put our shit back in our pants and zip up.
Shall we? Hey, kiddo.
What are you doing here? We live here.
Okay.
So what now? They have Gabriel.
No, they don't.
Come on.
Ian he walled up the doors to hide the apartment.
There's a couple in the building.
Maggie? Hey.
I wasn't sure you'd made it.
I almost didn't.
Did your people steal their guns? - Hijack their convoy? - No.
You sure about that? I am really sick of them asking me this.
So am I.
You know, why don't you just ball up and stop tiptoeing around it and call her a liar.
Your boss had skulls on his bookcase, so, yeah, I'm inclined to call bullshit.
- We didn't do it.
- Yeah? Then who did? It doesn't matter.
We have to get these people out of here.
We can't leave.
Not with the rest of my people still hiding.
Okay.
What do you want to do? Split into teams, sweep each floor for whoever's left, then find a way out together.
Okay.
Alright, let's go.
You stay here.
They need someone they trust protecting them.
She comes with me.
How much longer? Oh, not long.
There it is.
Where's everybody else? There is no one else.
You want the four of us to take all that out? You aren't gonna take them out.
You're gonna go through them.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about my buddy Cooper.
We grew up together.
He lived in a big house Right right down there.
His dad was actually the president of SDS Bank.
Anyway, his dad was also a prepper, so he turned his office into a panic room.
It's where he kept all his good shit, like whiskey, weed, E, coke.
He also kept cash in there.
Lots of it.
And that is what I need you to get for me.
This is a joke, right? No, sweetie, it isn't.
Alright, look, my bitch mother has cut off my line of credit, so I need to come up with creative ways to support my lifestyle.
So have these dickheads do it.
They don't want to because they can't shoot down there.
You see, fired rounds are tracked, so it'd raise questions.
And if these guys can't shoot guns, well, they would probably get dog-piled and suffocate.
But you two? I know that you can do it.
I I believe in you.
Now, this is the code to the office's electric lock.
Now, there's a solar generator in the garage - that you can go thro - Nah.
No, we ain't doing it.
Yes, you are.
Now, you're gonna slime yourself up with guts, and then you are gonna walk through that swarm, and you are gonna get me my cash.
Or what? Hey, how are your kids doing? Your little one, he just jumped two grades, right? And And Coco, is she walking yet? Hey, hey.
You think your "advanced military training's" gonna help you right now? Drop it, or you're both dead! Not before I take this asshole's head off.
Let's get something a little straight.
You threaten our kids one more time, - and I will gut you - Hey! Hey, who said anything about hurting kids? I'm just saying that I can make their life easier.
Or you can make them both orphans.
It's your call.
We do this, and that's it? Yeah.
Totally.
Hey.
Blood it's fresh.
This way.
Over here.
You need power for the lock.
Hey, behind you.
Can't be more than a few days since they've turned.
Yeah.
Hello? Hey! Are you with another group?! We're with The Commonwealth Army.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
The money is in here, but I'm I'm the only one who's left.
He's done this before.
Please, please! Please don't leave me! - No, no.
- Don't leave me! I've been in here so long! Please! No, no, no.
We won't.
We're not with the people who sent you in.
Did they force you in here? I was in debt, and then, uh, one day, a man showed up at my door, and he said he could get me get out of it.
I have two kids.
I have two kids.
- It's okay, it's okay.
Where - Please! How many of you were sent in? 12 of us.
But only three of us made it inside.
We got the generators on, and then and then, the two guys that I was with, they turned on each other.
So I locked them out, and that's That's when the power went off, and I-I haven't been to get this door open! You stay with her.
I'll go find the generator.
It's alright.
Just hang on, okay? Okay.
What's your name? My name's April.
I'm Rosita.
Rosita.
Listen, I don't want you to worry.
We're gonna make this work, okay? You left without saying a word.
I left because I gave a shit.
I left because that's what everyone needed.
Right? How'd you find them? And your what is she to you? You're married? It's crazy, right? You being here fits.
You have a hand in putting any of those skulls on Ian's shelf? Says the guy that rolled up with the Gestapo.
We didn't know.
The place we're living now is different from any place we've ever seen.
No, it isn't.
I hoped that they might be, but they just want to swallow up other communities.
They're like the Whisperers.
They just wear different masks.
Negan, do you copy? Yeah.
Where are you? Fifth floor.
Listen, the soldiers are spread out, but our window's closing.
Tell the others to move.
Copy that.
Hey, is Maggie still with you? She is.
Alright, look.
It's just, um Stop worrying.
I'll see you soon.
Oh, shit.
Sit and stay! Sarge, I found a truck on the perimeter.
Kid hiding inside.
- Did you say a kid? - Affirmative.
We're all clear down here.
Take your gear upstairs.
Ginger? I'm 12 weeks, give or take.
And yeah, it's his.
Not that he'd want me telling you.
Hey, Annie, do you copy? I'm here.
I found someone.
Who? Maggie's son.
What?! Yeah.
Turns out you had stowaway that you didn't know about.
I'm coming to you.
No.
You stay with Annie.
Negan He's safe.
Alright? You stay focused.
If anything happens to him It'll have to happen to me first.
He's in good hands.
He's in the hands of the man who killed his father.
Five clear.
I know who he is.
And what he did.
He told me.
And you're still with him? None of us have clean hands.
I've seen what people will do to each other to survive.
Sometimes, it was done to me.
Other times, I did it to them.
I'm not proud of it, but it happened.
All I can do now is try to be better.
Just like him.
He doesn't get to forget.
He hasn't.
Post two out front, nearest the front gate! What matters to me is who he is now.
He's someone who'll do whatever he can to protect your boy.
My mom told me to stay away from you.
Well, your mom is a very smart lady.
Why doesn't she like you? Because of something that happened a long time ago.
Was it something bad? Yeah.
Yeah, it was, uh It was something bad.
Are you a bad man? I was.
Look, kid, I My mom told me a bad man killed my dad.
It was you, wasn't it? Yeah.
Yeah, it was me.
Look Kid, what I took away from you and your mom, there is nothing I can say or do that is gonna make that better.
And I know you want to pull that trigger, and I don't blame you.
The thing is, if you do, the bad people are gonna know where we're hiding.
Maybe I deserve to die for what I did to your dad, to your family but these people here they don't.
April, are you still with me? Yes.
Alright, we're coming in.
Oh, God.
Thank you! Thank you! - Okay, okay.
- Thank you! The safe is right there.
- Can you get into it? - I don't know.
We'll try.
Oh! What is that? Aw, shit.
No! No, no, no! No, they're drawn inside the house! - Okay, alright! - Shut it off! Yeah, I just have to cut the power to the circuit board.
Hurry.
Hurry! Hurry! Come here! Give me a hand! Oh, they're coming! Please, hurry! I know! Hurry, please! Come on.
Move away from the door.
We go out the same way we came in.
No sudden moves.
We walk right out that door.
- You ready? - Wait.
She doesn't have enough blood on her.
Oh, God.
No.
- Put that on.
- What about you? I'll be fine.
Thank you.
You gonna let us in or what? How'd you know where we were? You didn't show up for lunch, so I got Mercer.
Alves and Castle said you came here to steal some money.
Nope.
That did not happen.
What, y'all looting houses now? Is that it? Sebastian made us come in here.
He threatened our kids.
And who are you? Some soldiers brought a group of us here, and they told us that if we We got in, we could have a cut of the money.
How many were in your group? 12.
Now it's just me.
How many more rounds we got? Maybe 10.
Lot more walkers out there than that.
We gut up, and we go.
No! No! No! No! No, please! No! No, no! No, no, no, please! Alright.
These people Anyone you find, they refuse to give you something useful, you just pop them in the head and move on.
We find our guns in the next hour or we burn this place to the ground.
Gabriel, Aaron, you there? We're here.
- Is Elijah with you? - He is.
Good.
I have a plan.
Anything? Nothing, sir.
Aaron, up to the roof! It's that goddamn priest again.
Let's go! Stop! Drop it! Just enough of this shit! What are you even thinking? Huh? Just turning on me? On The Commonwealth? For what? Some tenement warlord and all these thieving followers? I just I really thought you were smarter than all that.
All Troopers, up to the roof, now! Commander needs assistance! Sir, we have combatants inbound.
Fall back! Okay.
Okay.
Ooh.
That's good.
The wisdom to know the difference, right? Look, things just got a little out of hand.
We all just need to Hoo! Take a breath, right? Listen.
Listen, we just need to talk things Aah! Oh, God! Oh, God! No! Oh, God, no! No! No! Help! No! Could've used your help back there.
Yeah, looks like it.
But we don't answer to you.
That the money? How many others did you send in before them? I don't know.
What, 30? Maybe 40? Hey, at least we're coming home with You have to pay him.
- Sebastian.
- What? - No - If you don't, he'll come after you, and that's a fight you ain't gonna win.
I'll carry the bags through the gate.
They won't search me.
Alright.
There they are! So? Yes! Well done, ladies and gents! Well done! Yes! Hey, where are? Where are Alves and Castle? They didn't make it.
Huh.
- What's that? - That is your cut.
I'm of course going to pay you.
Oh, my God congrats, guys! We did it! Hey, I am so glad that we're friends again.
Hmm.
Open Range, do you copy? Open Range Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
It's late.
Where you been? I was helping some friends out of a jam.
Yeah? Yeah.
They were on a a mission for the Governor's son.
He's been finding desperate people, sending them through swarms to get stashes of cash.
Most of them didn't make it out.
He sent your friends to do this? Yeah.
They all made it back, though? Barely.
Good.
And the money? Did they get it? Yeah.
Ah.
Finally.
Why Why did you send the other people? W-What did they do? They put themselves in bad situations, either through stupid choices or an unwillingness to play by the rules.
I tried to throw them a lifeline.
Look this place works because everyone plays their part.
If you can't or won't, it hurts everyone else.
That's when the system breaks down, and we can't let that happen.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Yeah, people can either be part be of the problem or part of the solution.
I knew you'd get it.
Hmm.
Well I'll let you get back to work.
- Carol.
- Yeah.
It's nice to be able to talk to someone who sees the big picture.
- Not many can.
- Mm.
You and I, we have some unfinished business, don't we? I tell you what.
You go back with your mom.
Help her rebuild your home.
And in a few years, when you've grown up a bit come find me.
And I promise you, we will settle it.
What did he say to you? What are you gonna do? Can't go back to Commonwealth.
No, we kinda have to.
Lance is gonna want to know what happened here.
Well, the more immediate problem is these people.
It's only a matter of time before Hornsby comes for them.
Then we have to do something.
All of this over some guns.
Yeah, but if Ian didn't steal the weapons, who did? No, no! Please, please, please, please! No! Please, no, no, no, please! No, please, no, no! It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a bunch of strangers to just keep the two of you alive.
Unless they weren't strangers.
Are you calling us liars? Whatever this is, if the Miltons are involved, they'll keep it locked up.
You could change this place.
You could be so much more.
You expect me to trust him? I'm asking you to trust me.
Sit and stay! Sarge, I found a truck on the perimeter.
Kid hiding inside.
- Did you say a kid? - Affirmative.
This story with Negan and Hershel is just It's really important to the story of Negan and Maggie.
We've always shown and we've always known that Negan has, like, a fondness and a sense of care for children.
My mom told me to stay away from you.
Well, your mom is a very smart lady.
He actually is often able to speak to them and reach them in a way that perhaps their parental figures can't.
Look, kid, I My mom told me a bad man killed my dad.
It was you, wasn't it? He has no animosity towards Hershel, but he can certainly feel that that animosity is coming the opposite direction.
But this is complicated 'cause it's Maggie's child and he knows that there is so much, like, weight behind anything related to it.
And Maggie, for her part, of course, does not trust him with her child.
If anything happens to him It'll have to happen to me first.
Even if that wasn't a child related to Maggie, like, I do think he would protect the child.
He absolutely would, but on top of that, I think he's trying to relay to Maggie, like, "I'm not exactly the same person that I was or that you think I am.
" Like, I think he's trying to tell her, like, "You can trust me You don't have to like me, we don't have to be friends, but the thing is, like, when it comes to this stuff, I'm gonna live up to my word.
" You want the four of us to take all that out? You aren't gonna take them out.
You're gonna go through them.
What are you talking about? The idea of money in this world is so arbitrary.
You know, it feels so stupid to both Daryl and Rosita.
The fact that they're going out and risking their lives and that other people have risked their lives over something that ultimately, like, we assign the value to You might as well just not have anything at all and people take what they need.
Hey, how are your kids doing? Your little one, he just jumped two grades, right? And And Coco, is she walking yet? Hey, hey.
They get to a point in this scene where he's said this thing about their kids, and they're not dumb people They know that he has the power to cause them trouble or the power to, like, make their stay pleasant.
They're not happy about it.
They're They feel like they've been compromised, but they might as well just get it over with 'cause they're gonna have to pay this bill one way or another.
Can't go back to Commonwealth.
No, we kinda have to.
Lance is gonna want to know what happened here.
Well, the more immediate problem is these people.
It's only a matter of time before Hornsby comes for them.
Then we have to do something.
All of this over some guns.
Yeah, but if Ian didn't steal the weapons, who did? We were always planning to bring Leah back, so we'd always, like, intended for it to be, like, this story of here's somebody who had good qualities and yet things went pretty dark with them.
Bad idea.
You gonna kill me? Should I? Daryl he's a complicated character and he has different relationships with every single character that he encounters.
And so we just we kind of thought, from Leah's side of the story, I do think she actually really, really cared about Daryl.
You ain't gonna talk to me? But at the end of the day, she's going to choose her team first, and that makes, like, for a difficult situation for our heroes when she comes back.
