1
00:00:02,398 --> 00:00:04,515
Previously, on
"The Walking Dead"...
2
00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:06,382
I got her! Let's go!
3
00:00:08,973 --> 00:00:10,292
Hey Maggie.
4
00:00:10,463 --> 00:00:11,935
We were gonna
lose everything.
5
00:00:12,020 --> 00:00:13,678
Negan's the reason
we didn't.
6
00:00:13,863 --> 00:00:16,748
You attacked our home,
killed my friends, our family!
7
00:00:16,833 --> 00:00:18,459
Who are you?!
8
00:00:22,646 --> 00:00:24,513
So this is home
sweet home.
9
00:00:24,862 --> 00:00:26,748
Yeah...
10
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:28,576
it is.
11
00:07:29,901 --> 00:07:31,144
Come on.
12
00:10:16,581 --> 00:10:18,587
*THE WALKING DEAD*
Season 11 Episode 01
13
00:10:18,672 --> 00:10:20,280
Episode Title:
"Acheron: Part I"
14
00:11:02,427 --> 00:11:03,888
Come on, boy!
15
00:11:32,925 --> 00:11:34,731
Mom! Mom!
16
00:11:36,997 --> 00:11:38,731
Cole has a surprise!
17
00:11:40,340 --> 00:11:42,763
Guess who
this cat dragged in.
18
00:11:43,933 --> 00:11:45,144
Agatha!
19
00:11:47,068 --> 00:11:48,495
Oh!
20
00:11:49,847 --> 00:11:51,842
Can't get rid of us
that easy, kid.
21
00:11:52,684 --> 00:11:54,003
Shoulders.
22
00:11:57,362 --> 00:11:59,066
I missed you,
too, man.
23
00:12:01,615 --> 00:12:02,964
It's good
to see you, Mags.
24
00:12:03,097 --> 00:12:04,722
Good to
see you, too, Duncan.
25
00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:07,996
I thought
you guys were dead.
26
00:12:08,081 --> 00:12:09,575
We thought
the same about you.
27
00:12:09,784 --> 00:12:11,308
When we got to Meridian,
we, uh...
28
00:12:11,393 --> 00:12:13,636
well, we figured
if you were still alive,
29
00:12:13,721 --> 00:12:15,159
you'd be here.
30
00:12:17,409 --> 00:12:18,753
That him?
31
00:12:19,941 --> 00:12:21,332
- For my family, man!
- Hey!
32
00:12:21,417 --> 00:12:22,464
Hey, break it up.
33
00:12:22,549 --> 00:12:24,155
- Come on.
- That's mine, alright? I said break it up.
34
00:12:24,239 --> 00:12:25,394
Come on.
35
00:12:25,761 --> 00:12:27,425
Everyone calm down.
36
00:12:28,152 --> 00:12:29,980
There's enough food
for everyone.
37
00:12:30,065 --> 00:12:31,214
One week.
38
00:12:31,299 --> 00:12:33,886
That's it?
In that last run, just a week?
39
00:12:34,112 --> 00:12:35,384
We can make it work.
40
00:12:35,651 --> 00:12:36,729
How?
41
00:12:36,814 --> 00:12:38,824
We just took in
two new communities.
42
00:12:38,909 --> 00:12:40,723
We have no crops,
no back stock.
43
00:12:40,808 --> 00:12:41,738
We can get there.
44
00:12:41,822 --> 00:12:43,253
Got people
out there right now,
45
00:12:43,338 --> 00:12:44,864
scavenging houses
for materials.
46
00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:46,650
And they're
slowing down.
47
00:12:46,871 --> 00:12:48,832
It's a little hard
to put up a wall
48
00:12:48,917 --> 00:12:50,747
with broken tools
and an empty stomach.
49
00:12:50,909 --> 00:12:52,730
Our people
are good hungers.
50
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:54,862
Frost and I
could take a group out.
51
00:12:55,226 --> 00:12:56,714
Ground's all spent.
52
00:12:57,097 --> 00:12:59,894
The last big horde
scared all the animals away.
53
00:13:01,378 --> 00:13:02,972
We can find
new territory.
54
00:13:03,096 --> 00:13:04,823
We don't have time.
We need food.
55
00:13:04,908 --> 00:13:06,693
Lots of it.
Now.
56
00:13:14,964 --> 00:13:16,808
I know one more place.
57
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,347
The place I lived before this.
58
00:13:20,022 --> 00:13:21,628
Where we lived.
59
00:13:24,472 --> 00:13:25,855
Meridian.
60
00:13:26,528 --> 00:13:29,963
It's got plenty of food,
water, crops, and animals.
61
00:13:31,266 --> 00:13:33,361
Yeah,
and now it's gone.
62
00:13:36,783 --> 00:13:38,635
So, what happened
out there?
63
00:13:46,533 --> 00:13:47,955
We were on a mission.
64
00:13:48,611 --> 00:13:50,206
Leading walkers away.
65
00:13:51,845 --> 00:13:53,590
Duncan, Agatha, and Frost
66
00:13:53,675 --> 00:13:55,184
took the last shift
at the front of the herd.
67
00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:56,519
Going miles out.
68
00:13:57,082 --> 00:13:59,300
I circled back
with Elijah, Cole.
69
00:14:01,916 --> 00:14:04,428
On the way back home,
things kept going sideways
70
00:14:04,513 --> 00:14:05,948
and we got stuck
out on the road.
71
00:14:06,551 --> 00:14:09,339
Looking back now, I don't think
that was an accident.
72
00:14:12,556 --> 00:14:15,388
All of a sudden, we heard
these screams in the distance.
73
00:14:16,653 --> 00:14:19,529
We raced back home.
74
00:14:19,746 --> 00:14:22,143
But it was too late.
75
00:14:24,142 --> 00:14:26,196
Most of our people
had been slaughtered.
76
00:14:30,158 --> 00:14:32,704
And the rest of us
barely got away with our lives.
77
00:14:38,437 --> 00:14:40,163
The people
that attacked us...
78
00:14:40,882 --> 00:14:42,718
We only knew
two things about them.
79
00:14:44,241 --> 00:14:45,730
They come at night,
80
00:14:46,382 --> 00:14:48,694
and by the time you see them,
you're already dead.
81
00:14:52,265 --> 00:14:53,739
That was before
we caught one.
82
00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:55,264
Daryl was with me.
83
00:14:56,648 --> 00:14:58,410
He came after us alone.
84
00:15:00,269 --> 00:15:01,574
Why?
85
00:15:02,386 --> 00:15:03,906
Because there aren't
that many of them.
86
00:15:04,846 --> 00:15:06,847
They're at Meridian now.
87
00:15:06,933 --> 00:15:08,929
There's plenty of food
to feed Alexandria
88
00:15:09,013 --> 00:15:11,453
'til we get this place
back up and running again.
89
00:15:11,537 --> 00:15:13,237
That's why they took it.
90
00:15:13,321 --> 00:15:15,413
We just need to take it back.
91
00:15:18,544 --> 00:15:21,659
So... you're leaving
to fight ghosts.
92
00:15:21,808 --> 00:15:23,291
That's the plan?
93
00:15:23,376 --> 00:15:25,076
You have a better one?
94
00:15:25,232 --> 00:15:27,252
Shore up Alexandria,
for starters.
95
00:15:28,318 --> 00:15:29,701
The walls
are not stable.
96
00:15:29,786 --> 00:15:31,486
Walkers will
get inside.
97
00:15:31,571 --> 00:15:33,485
That's not if,
it's when.
98
00:15:33,842 --> 00:15:35,542
Alexandria needs us.
99
00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:38,009
This is
for Alexandria.
100
00:15:39,088 --> 00:15:40,728
My son is here.
101
00:15:40,813 --> 00:15:42,252
I have skin in the game, too.
102
00:15:42,337 --> 00:15:44,509
Yeah, but if
they slaughtered everyone once,
103
00:15:44,594 --> 00:15:45,574
what the hell makes
this situation any different?
104
00:15:45,658 --> 00:15:47,706
Duncan, Agatha, and Frost
are Meridian's best fighters,
105
00:15:47,790 --> 00:15:48,969
and now I have them.
106
00:15:49,053 --> 00:15:50,579
And hopefully,
some of you, too.
107
00:15:50,663 --> 00:15:53,756
Maggie, this sounds like
a suicide mission.
108
00:15:58,340 --> 00:15:59,892
Well,
if we don't have food,
109
00:15:59,977 --> 00:16:02,021
it's not
gonna matter, anyway.
110
00:16:02,631 --> 00:16:03,857
I'll go.
111
00:16:04,403 --> 00:16:05,873
Anybody else?
112
00:16:20,169 --> 00:16:21,435
Alright.
113
00:16:46,801 --> 00:16:50,169
Negan, how much longer
'til we're through the city?!
114
00:16:50,614 --> 00:16:52,162
Well,
we got about six hours!
115
00:16:52,246 --> 00:16:54,567
We should hunker down,
wait for this to pass!
116
00:16:54,652 --> 00:16:57,005
You don't get a vote,
asshole!
117
00:16:57,386 --> 00:16:59,783
Ah, he's right.
We need to find some shelter.
118
00:16:59,868 --> 00:17:01,559
No!
We don't have time!
119
00:17:01,651 --> 00:17:03,247
We can't
stay out in this.
120
00:17:07,941 --> 00:17:08,968
Yeah.
121
00:17:09,053 --> 00:17:10,442
Let's go.
122
00:17:43,712 --> 00:17:45,329
Alright.
Which way?
123
00:17:45,727 --> 00:17:47,611
Not to sound like
a broken record,
124
00:17:47,696 --> 00:17:48,907
but I think
we ought to take a breath,
125
00:17:48,991 --> 00:17:50,851
hunker down,
and wait for this storm to pass.
126
00:17:52,088 --> 00:17:53,698
You don't wanna
go in there?
127
00:17:55,052 --> 00:17:56,562
No, I don't.
128
00:17:56,815 --> 00:17:58,586
I don't give
a shit.
129
00:17:59,153 --> 00:18:00,462
Which way?
130
00:18:03,820 --> 00:18:05,257
Yellow line north.
131
00:18:05,491 --> 00:18:07,351
Switch to blue
at Reagan National,
132
00:18:07,436 --> 00:18:09,156
then hop the red
toward Bethesda.
133
00:18:11,195 --> 00:18:12,789
Come on.
Let's go.
134
00:18:12,874 --> 00:18:14,851
Hey,
can I talk to you?
135
00:18:15,086 --> 00:18:16,375
Why's that?
136
00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:18,212
You think we're buddies
or something?
137
00:18:18,649 --> 00:18:19,929
Come on.
138
00:18:20,354 --> 00:18:21,750
Come on, boy.
139
00:19:12,605 --> 00:19:14,097
What the hell was that?
140
00:19:18,745 --> 00:19:20,372
The storm's pushing air
through the pipes,
141
00:19:20,456 --> 00:19:21,737
making them groan.
142
00:19:21,964 --> 00:19:23,628
It's nothing serious.
We're good.
143
00:19:35,698 --> 00:19:37,761
Know what that noise
actually is?
144
00:19:37,934 --> 00:19:40,809
That is God,
telling us to turn around.
145
00:19:41,690 --> 00:19:43,917
I'm pretty sure He would have
ran that by me first.
146
00:19:44,002 --> 00:19:45,002
Yeah?
147
00:19:45,087 --> 00:19:48,050
The Good Lord direct
your one eyeball to this?
148
00:19:48,807 --> 00:19:50,548
Water-line mark.
149
00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:53,870
That means this tunnel floods
on a regular basis,
150
00:19:53,955 --> 00:19:55,268
like when it rains.
151
00:19:59,737 --> 00:20:02,003
It's bad down here.
It's worse up there.
152
00:20:02,234 --> 00:20:04,449
Look, man,
all I am saying...
153
00:20:04,534 --> 00:20:05,870
And it ain't working.
154
00:20:06,276 --> 00:20:07,940
You trying
to run shit.
155
00:20:08,322 --> 00:20:09,753
Keep moving.
156
00:20:11,095 --> 00:20:12,221
Come on.
157
00:20:12,306 --> 00:20:13,487
Dog!
158
00:20:15,221 --> 00:20:16,878
You're in on it.
159
00:21:12,955 --> 00:21:14,603
Eugene Porter?
160
00:21:15,855 --> 00:21:17,120
Yes.
161
00:21:17,375 --> 00:21:19,204
That is my given moniker,
yes.
162
00:21:19,289 --> 00:21:21,970
There's no need to be nervous,
Mr. Porter.
163
00:21:22,321 --> 00:21:24,433
Not if
you're honest with us.
164
00:21:24,603 --> 00:21:27,509
Those who know me,
know me to be an honorable gent.
165
00:21:28,384 --> 00:21:29,449
If you're
inferring something
166
00:21:29,533 --> 00:21:31,376
from my manner of speaking,
well...
167
00:21:32,073 --> 00:21:33,861
that's just how I roll.
168
00:21:34,852 --> 00:21:36,335
Verbally, that is.
169
00:21:36,689 --> 00:21:38,666
We are Auditors
for the Commonwealth,
170
00:21:38,946 --> 00:21:41,126
and you are under
Level One Assessment.
171
00:21:41,248 --> 00:21:44,453
If you pass inspection,
you'll move to Level Two.
172
00:21:44,623 --> 00:21:46,572
What if we don't
pass inspection?
173
00:21:47,329 --> 00:21:49,470
You will go through
re-processing.
174
00:21:51,317 --> 00:21:52,666
What's re-processing?
175
00:21:52,751 --> 00:21:54,626
We should start
the assessment.
176
00:21:57,352 --> 00:21:59,611
What did your parents do
for a living?
177
00:21:59,970 --> 00:22:02,095
My father was
a mechanical engineer, and...
178
00:22:02,309 --> 00:22:04,227
My mother
taught Sunday school.
179
00:22:04,357 --> 00:22:06,057
You mean
deadbeat loser number one
180
00:22:06,142 --> 00:22:07,625
or raging prick number two?
181
00:22:07,710 --> 00:22:09,150
What did you do
for a living?
182
00:22:09,283 --> 00:22:10,653
I was a zookeeper.
183
00:22:10,738 --> 00:22:12,142
I worked
at a music store.
184
00:22:12,227 --> 00:22:14,447
Lawyer.
What is your alma mater?
185
00:22:14,532 --> 00:22:16,659
What's the relevance?
It's just procedure, ma'am.
186
00:22:16,744 --> 00:22:18,749
I attended Oxford
for my bachelor's,
187
00:22:18,833 --> 00:22:20,064
Harvard for Law.
188
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,752
Highest level
of schooling?
189
00:22:21,993 --> 00:22:24,040
Three years at the
University of North Carolina.
190
00:22:24,143 --> 00:22:25,452
You didn't graduate?
191
00:22:25,621 --> 00:22:28,431
- I had to leave due to a...
- So, no?
192
00:22:30,814 --> 00:22:32,127
What was
your zip code?
193
00:22:32,212 --> 00:22:34,548
How can anyone possibly
be expected to remember that?
194
00:22:34,632 --> 00:22:38,947
From 1978 to 1984,
it was 75001.
195
00:22:39,114 --> 00:22:44,642
From 1984 to 1996,
it was 76244-0361.
196
00:22:44,907 --> 00:22:46,533
From latter half
of 1996 through...
197
00:22:46,644 --> 00:22:49,423
What were the results
of your last routine physical?
198
00:22:49,603 --> 00:22:51,948
Uh... I-I don't think
I've had one.
199
00:22:52,033 --> 00:22:54,142
Have you ever been vaccinated
for measles?
200
00:22:54,227 --> 00:22:55,405
Would you like
the dates?
201
00:22:55,531 --> 00:22:57,275
Any history of cancer?
202
00:22:57,382 --> 00:22:58,751
None.
203
00:22:59,767 --> 00:23:01,139
Tell me about
the goiter.
204
00:23:01,223 --> 00:23:03,548
It's a benign growth.
I've had it since childhood.
205
00:23:03,713 --> 00:23:06,017
Where did you get the cash
we found on you?
206
00:23:06,217 --> 00:23:07,352
The $2 bill?
207
00:23:07,437 --> 00:23:09,137
Tell us exactly
where you got it.
208
00:23:09,275 --> 00:23:10,690
Uh, so,
when I was 15,
209
00:23:10,775 --> 00:23:13,151
my first job
was at Missy Moose's Pizzeria.
210
00:23:13,236 --> 00:23:15,447
- You know, the...
- You can skip to the end.
211
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:18,026
When I cashed my paycheck
at the bank,
212
00:23:18,110 --> 00:23:20,626
I asked for a $2 bill
so I could keep it,
213
00:23:20,738 --> 00:23:23,040
because it was the first money
I'd ever earned.
214
00:23:25,683 --> 00:23:27,427
When we're done
with these questions,
215
00:23:27,511 --> 00:23:29,118
can I get
my $2 back?
216
00:23:30,102 --> 00:23:31,447
Have you ever
been arrested?
217
00:23:31,532 --> 00:23:32,469
- No.
- No.
218
00:23:32,554 --> 00:23:35,043
- Yeah, but it wasn't me.
- Wasn't me. Yes, during a student protest.
219
00:23:35,127 --> 00:23:37,654
- History of drug use?
- Define "drug".
220
00:23:37,738 --> 00:23:39,345
I was a proud
founding member
221
00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:42,174
of the anti-drug and alcohol
coalition at my high school.
222
00:23:42,259 --> 00:23:44,455
How many bowel movements
do you have a day?
223
00:23:44,540 --> 00:23:45,791
Excuse me?
224
00:23:45,876 --> 00:23:48,050
- What do you use to wipe?
- Pass.
225
00:23:48,224 --> 00:23:50,134
Why were you
at the train station?
226
00:23:50,368 --> 00:23:52,557
I was on the road
with my traveling companions,
227
00:23:52,642 --> 00:23:53,807
Ezekiel and Yumiko...
228
00:23:53,892 --> 00:23:56,385
...for years,
wandering from place to place.
229
00:23:56,470 --> 00:23:57,580
We ran
into Princess...
230
00:23:57,665 --> 00:23:59,330
...I helped them out.
They loved me.
231
00:23:59,415 --> 00:24:00,666
I decided
to stick with 'em.
232
00:24:00,751 --> 00:24:02,714
We were holed up at a place
that had a working radio.
233
00:24:02,798 --> 00:24:04,447
Stephanie and I
made a connection.
234
00:24:04,556 --> 00:24:05,807
We wanted to meet,
235
00:24:05,892 --> 00:24:07,518
but my friends were worried,
so I...
236
00:24:07,603 --> 00:24:09,557
...pretended like there were
more of us than there really are.
237
00:24:09,641 --> 00:24:11,691
- And that's how we wound up at the rail yard.
- So we wound up at the rail yard.
238
00:24:11,775 --> 00:24:13,681
I would really like
to speak with Stephanie.
239
00:24:13,766 --> 00:24:16,540
Do you consider yourself
a fundamentally honest person?
240
00:24:16,681 --> 00:24:17,813
Yes.
Of course.
241
00:24:17,952 --> 00:24:19,348
- Yes.
- Hell yeah.
242
00:24:19,432 --> 00:24:21,089
Did your mother
work outside the home?
243
00:24:21,173 --> 00:24:24,198
I told you.
Grace Baptist Church.
244
00:24:24,283 --> 00:24:26,392
What's the location
of your settlement?
245
00:24:26,574 --> 00:24:27,837
You already
asked that one.
246
00:24:27,922 --> 00:24:30,861
What was your highest level
of education attainment?
247
00:24:31,157 --> 00:24:33,845
- Location of your settlement?
- What settlement?
248
00:24:33,930 --> 00:24:35,790
Have you run into
any groups out there?
249
00:24:35,875 --> 00:24:38,173
We've had some
negative encounters.
250
00:24:38,258 --> 00:24:40,228
How lucky are you
and why?
251
00:24:40,313 --> 00:24:41,500
What?
252
00:24:41,585 --> 00:24:43,603
Location
of your settlement.
253
00:24:46,910 --> 00:24:48,579
Do you think
this is funny?
254
00:24:48,735 --> 00:24:50,150
Yeah.
255
00:24:51,237 --> 00:24:52,689
Yeah, I do.
256
00:24:55,853 --> 00:24:57,337
Are you in charge?
257
00:25:03,562 --> 00:25:04,954
You've been
standing there,
258
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:07,368
not saying a damn word
like you're the man in charge.
259
00:25:09,702 --> 00:25:11,157
Yeah.
260
00:25:12,329 --> 00:25:13,790
I'm in charge.
261
00:25:15,314 --> 00:25:17,314
Do you think
that I fear you?
262
00:25:19,610 --> 00:25:21,446
You look scared
to me.
263
00:25:24,628 --> 00:25:26,658
What did you do
before the fall?
264
00:25:26,786 --> 00:25:29,939
Let me guess.
Asshole beat cop.
265
00:25:30,930 --> 00:25:33,275
That's why this fascist crap
comes so easy to you.
266
00:25:33,438 --> 00:25:34,587
Look at you.
267
00:25:34,672 --> 00:25:36,111
All they had to do
was give you
268
00:25:36,196 --> 00:25:38,158
a pumpkin
colored space suit
269
00:25:38,454 --> 00:25:39,689
and you're back
to power tripping
270
00:25:39,773 --> 00:25:42,083
with your head up your own ass,
just like before.
271
00:25:42,243 --> 00:25:44,618
You think I was some
"power tripping cop"?
272
00:25:44,775 --> 00:25:47,658
The shoe fits.
But honestly, I don't care.
273
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:49,743
You've been asking us
the same damn questions
274
00:25:49,827 --> 00:25:51,932
over and over
for seven hours straight.
275
00:25:52,017 --> 00:25:53,431
I've been cooperative.
276
00:25:53,516 --> 00:25:55,767
My people
have been cooperati...
277
00:26:08,945 --> 00:26:10,340
Thirsty?
278
00:26:10,479 --> 00:26:12,197
I'm fine.
279
00:26:42,861 --> 00:26:44,868
You told off
their leader?
280
00:26:48,408 --> 00:26:50,392
I was
asserting myself.
281
00:26:51,478 --> 00:26:54,056
Perhaps I could've
handled it better, but...
282
00:26:54,469 --> 00:26:56,822
I didn't like
the way they talked to me.
283
00:27:00,993 --> 00:27:02,479
Ezekiel,
do they know...
284
00:27:02,564 --> 00:27:03,908
No.
They don't know.
285
00:27:03,993 --> 00:27:05,158
Gonna be fine.
286
00:27:05,243 --> 00:27:07,548
They seem obsessed
with our medical histories.
287
00:27:07,876 --> 00:27:10,501
- They might not let you...
- I said don't worry about it.
288
00:27:32,934 --> 00:27:34,576
We gotta pull the rip cord
on this.
289
00:27:34,661 --> 00:27:35,716
Yes.
290
00:27:35,801 --> 00:27:37,497
Yes.
Thank you.
291
00:27:37,582 --> 00:27:39,098
This place is...
292
00:27:39,278 --> 00:27:40,810
I don't even know
what this place is.
293
00:27:40,895 --> 00:27:41,818
And does anyone else think
294
00:27:41,903 --> 00:27:43,068
the Commonwealth
might not be real?
295
00:27:43,152 --> 00:27:44,450
Yes, Yumiko.
Thank you.
296
00:27:44,535 --> 00:27:46,426
I assumed you would
think otherwise, but...
297
00:27:46,595 --> 00:27:49,295
It doesn't matter. Never mind.
Time to get out. We gotta...
298
00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:50,723
No, no, no, no.
299
00:27:51,036 --> 00:27:52,822
Please, hold...
Hold onto your horses.
300
00:27:52,906 --> 00:27:54,521
Look...
they're asking
301
00:27:54,606 --> 00:27:56,256
admittedly strange
and intrusive questions,
302
00:27:56,340 --> 00:27:57,498
but in
a polite manner,
303
00:27:57,583 --> 00:27:59,770
and this gruel is not
the worst thing I've ever eaten.
304
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:01,684
Stephanie warned me
up front
305
00:28:01,769 --> 00:28:03,856
that her people
were uber-cautious.
306
00:28:04,526 --> 00:28:06,801
Michonne...
Our Michonne...
307
00:28:06,886 --> 00:28:08,880
Shut people out from Alexandria
for years.
308
00:28:08,965 --> 00:28:10,231
This is a test.
309
00:28:10,434 --> 00:28:12,581
We have to hunker down
and level up.
310
00:28:12,919 --> 00:28:14,848
Maybe we should just get honest
with the "heat".
311
00:28:14,933 --> 00:28:16,459
- Oh, you mean the solider-cops?
- No. No.
312
00:28:16,543 --> 00:28:17,637
Yeah, that's funny.
No.
313
00:28:17,722 --> 00:28:19,545
You really want these guys
rolling up to Hilltop
314
00:28:19,629 --> 00:28:22,262
or Alexandria
with their machine-gun swords?
315
00:28:22,723 --> 00:28:24,169
Apologies.
316
00:28:24,911 --> 00:28:25,982
Our people need help,
317
00:28:26,067 --> 00:28:28,864
and... I-I think
these people can give it.
318
00:28:29,117 --> 00:28:30,339
Excuse me?
319
00:28:30,424 --> 00:28:31,786
Uh,
sorry to bother,
320
00:28:31,871 --> 00:28:35,007
but... you mind me asking
how long you've been here?
321
00:28:35,171 --> 00:28:37,449
- Four... four months.
- Nine.
322
00:28:38,324 --> 00:28:39,686
It's been nine,
remember?
323
00:28:39,779 --> 00:28:41,817
Right. Yeah.
The... the re-processing...
324
00:28:41,902 --> 00:28:43,409
But... but it feels like things
are finally...
325
00:28:43,493 --> 00:28:44,801
I'm sorry.
What do you mean?
326
00:28:48,348 --> 00:28:49,966
Wait. Wait!
327
00:28:50,050 --> 00:28:51,403
Wait, no!
No!
328
00:28:51,488 --> 00:28:52,848
No!
329
00:28:53,090 --> 00:28:54,473
Stop! Stop!
330
00:28:55,186 --> 00:28:56,364
Wait! Wait!
331
00:28:56,449 --> 00:28:57,801
What did I do?
332
00:28:58,825 --> 00:29:00,380
Where are
you taking me?
333
00:29:00,493 --> 00:29:02,184
Re-processing.
334
00:29:13,684 --> 00:29:15,488
Okay,
we gotta go.
335
00:29:36,878 --> 00:29:38,206
Oh.
336
00:30:23,153 --> 00:30:25,059
Why didn't it
make any noise?
337
00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:37,647
Throat's slashed so deep
it almost severed his head.
338
00:30:40,917 --> 00:30:42,835
The guys we're going after
do this?
339
00:30:42,982 --> 00:30:44,047
No.
340
00:30:44,218 --> 00:30:46,280
These people were killed
during the fall.
341
00:30:55,268 --> 00:30:56,648
All of 'em?
342
00:30:59,531 --> 00:31:00,618
What?
343
00:31:01,203 --> 00:31:03,047
We're walking through
a mass grave
344
00:31:03,132 --> 00:31:04,735
that could still
be in use.
345
00:31:04,820 --> 00:31:06,968
So,
I am asking you...
346
00:31:07,492 --> 00:31:10,820
Are you sure all of them
were killed during the fall?
347
00:31:18,062 --> 00:31:19,562
Take each one out.
348
00:31:20,688 --> 00:31:22,335
Clear the path.
349
00:31:23,964 --> 00:31:26,709
- Maggie, hold up...
- We're not stopping.
350
00:32:06,723 --> 00:32:08,202
Kid!
351
00:32:37,348 --> 00:32:39,996
Pay attention
so we don't miss any more.
352
00:32:41,414 --> 00:32:43,114
Pay attention?
353
00:32:43,674 --> 00:32:45,637
That's it?
That's...
354
00:32:45,863 --> 00:32:47,676
that's your new
big plan?
355
00:32:48,754 --> 00:32:51,521
Tell me, Maggie,
anything in particular
356
00:32:51,606 --> 00:32:53,653
we should be
paying attention to?
357
00:32:54,972 --> 00:32:57,723
I'm real close to shoving a gag
in your mouth.
358
00:32:58,714 --> 00:32:59,864
Well,
why don't you
359
00:32:59,949 --> 00:33:01,954
get up on your little tippy toes
and try?
360
00:33:02,091 --> 00:33:04,450
Cut it out.
Both of you.
361
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,403
This kid almost died.
362
00:33:08,684 --> 00:33:10,301
You don't give a shit
about that kid.
363
00:33:10,413 --> 00:33:12,778
No,
shedoesn't give a shit.
364
00:33:13,176 --> 00:33:16,137
She has been playing dictator
since we left,
365
00:33:16,301 --> 00:33:19,051
not listening to me,
not listening to him.
366
00:33:19,168 --> 00:33:20,911
Hell, not even
listening to you.
367
00:33:20,996 --> 00:33:22,582
We don't know
if this tunnel
368
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:24,231
even has a way
out.
369
00:33:25,598 --> 00:33:27,771
Whoever
or whatever
370
00:33:27,856 --> 00:33:29,185
killed these rot bags
371
00:33:29,270 --> 00:33:30,420
could still
be down here.
372
00:33:30,504 --> 00:33:33,441
Has that thought crossed
anyone's mind?
373
00:33:35,543 --> 00:33:37,480
Exactly.
It has.
374
00:33:37,565 --> 00:33:40,418
So, then this
is a death march,
375
00:33:41,324 --> 00:33:43,871
and you are
the goddamn pied piper.
376
00:33:44,604 --> 00:33:46,957
Now, y'all wanna roll with
that shit, that's fine.
377
00:33:47,220 --> 00:33:48,398
Knock yourselves out.
378
00:33:48,483 --> 00:33:50,358
But not me.
Not today.
379
00:33:50,926 --> 00:33:52,207
I am out.
380
00:33:55,363 --> 00:33:56,794
Me, too.
381
00:33:56,878 --> 00:33:57,957
What?
382
00:33:58,042 --> 00:34:00,340
He... he's a dick,
but... he makes sense.
383
00:34:00,425 --> 00:34:01,945
Yeah, we shouldn't have
come down here.
384
00:34:02,105 --> 00:34:03,309
We're not splitting up.
385
00:34:03,394 --> 00:34:05,786
It ain't up to you.
"Buddy".
386
00:34:05,916 --> 00:34:07,275
Just let him go.
387
00:34:07,691 --> 00:34:08,732
He's supposed to be
helping us,
388
00:34:08,816 --> 00:34:10,598
but all he's doing
is slowing us down.
389
00:34:10,771 --> 00:34:12,371
- We can't.
- Why not?
390
00:34:12,456 --> 00:34:14,059
We need him.
He knows the city.
391
00:34:14,331 --> 00:34:15,754
Oh, is that
why I'm here?
392
00:34:15,839 --> 00:34:19,285
I-I'm your
DC tour guide?
393
00:34:20,574 --> 00:34:23,379
What, nobody here know
how to read a goddamn map?
394
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:27,051
I'll tell you why I'm here,
man-tits.
395
00:34:27,315 --> 00:34:29,246
She brought me here
to die.
396
00:34:32,391 --> 00:34:35,730
If we get through this,
I'm not coming back.
397
00:34:37,145 --> 00:34:38,836
She'll find a way,
she'll find a reason,
398
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,434
she'll do it herself.
399
00:34:40,519 --> 00:34:43,590
Away from the prying eyes
of Alexandria.
400
00:34:44,739 --> 00:34:46,457
Here in the jungle.
401
00:34:49,366 --> 00:34:51,754
Man, I really thought
you were in on it.
402
00:34:51,980 --> 00:34:53,324
I did.
403
00:34:54,605 --> 00:34:56,856
But see, I can tell from
that glazed look in your eyes,
404
00:34:56,941 --> 00:34:58,332
you didn't have
a clue.
405
00:35:01,418 --> 00:35:02,973
None of you did.
406
00:35:03,285 --> 00:35:04,685
You're paranoid.
407
00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:06,168
But I'm right.
408
00:35:07,915 --> 00:35:09,902
Look, you all want
to put your lives
409
00:35:09,987 --> 00:35:11,145
in her hands?
410
00:35:11,934 --> 00:35:13,523
Her head
isn't even in the game
411
00:35:13,607 --> 00:35:16,832
because I'm in her head,
living rent-free.
412
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:20,746
So, Maggie,
me dying on your terms,
413
00:35:21,528 --> 00:35:23,152
it ain't happening.
414
00:35:24,449 --> 00:35:26,145
So,
what do you say?
415
00:35:26,402 --> 00:35:28,020
Let's just
get her done.
416
00:35:28,511 --> 00:35:31,020
Right here
and right now.
417
00:35:31,234 --> 00:35:33,761
Because I am not gonna let you
drag me through the mud,
418
00:35:33,845 --> 00:35:37,230
filth, and slime
to put me down like a dog.
419
00:35:38,717 --> 00:35:39,863
Like Glenn was.
420
00:35:49,396 --> 00:35:52,051
We're down here
because up top is death.
421
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:55,535
We're moving fast
because our kids are starving.
422
00:35:55,941 --> 00:35:57,350
And I'm
calling the shots
423
00:35:57,434 --> 00:35:59,824
because that's
how everyone voted.
424
00:36:00,877 --> 00:36:03,316
As for me
killing you...
425
00:36:05,629 --> 00:36:07,770
It's always
on my mind.
426
00:36:09,332 --> 00:36:11,190
I'm not gonna tell you
that you're wrong about me,
427
00:36:11,274 --> 00:36:12,629
because you aren't.
428
00:36:13,409 --> 00:36:16,368
The woman who left
six years ago
429
00:36:16,453 --> 00:36:18,762
is not the one
standing over you now.
430
00:36:19,887 --> 00:36:22,270
There's a little bit of her
left in me,
431
00:36:23,394 --> 00:36:25,028
and that little bit
is the only thing
432
00:36:25,113 --> 00:36:26,645
keeping you
breathing.
433
00:36:28,069 --> 00:36:30,934
But I don't know
how long that's gonna last.
434
00:36:33,314 --> 00:36:35,269
So keep pushing me,
Negan.
435
00:36:37,710 --> 00:36:39,059
Please.
436
00:36:53,403 --> 00:36:55,074
What do you think,
Princess?
437
00:36:55,851 --> 00:36:57,117
Princess.
438
00:36:57,762 --> 00:36:58,794
Princess.
439
00:36:58,879 --> 00:37:00,302
- I'm sorry, what?
- Ideas?
440
00:37:00,387 --> 00:37:01,895
How to get
past the guards.
441
00:37:02,194 --> 00:37:03,824
Oh, yeah.
Not yet.
442
00:37:04,631 --> 00:37:06,645
What?
What are you looking at?
443
00:37:06,793 --> 00:37:09,441
Livits and Zell
are at it again.
444
00:37:11,379 --> 00:37:13,469
- What and who-who?
- You know, the two
445
00:37:13,553 --> 00:37:15,254
that are always
flirting with each other.
446
00:37:15,410 --> 00:37:16,718
The big guy...
Livits.
447
00:37:16,803 --> 00:37:18,168
The skinny one...
Zell.
448
00:37:19,893 --> 00:37:21,072
You know their names?
449
00:37:21,157 --> 00:37:23,261
- Yeah.
- You can tell them apart?
450
00:37:23,346 --> 00:37:25,264
- You can't?
- Okay, we're wasting time.
451
00:37:25,348 --> 00:37:26,840
Hold on.
Princess,
452
00:37:27,050 --> 00:37:28,309
how can you tell them apart,
453
00:37:28,394 --> 00:37:30,591
and... and why do you believe
that those two are flirting?
454
00:37:30,675 --> 00:37:31,770
Oh, I dunno.
455
00:37:31,855 --> 00:37:33,888
I overheard stuff
when were on the wagon,
456
00:37:33,973 --> 00:37:35,442
and I remember things
about people, you know?
457
00:37:35,526 --> 00:37:37,004
Like,
Zell is from Cleveland.
458
00:37:37,091 --> 00:37:39,575
Livits hurt his leg,
so he favors the left one.
459
00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:41,474
Sorsensen smokes.
He doesn't like Garcia.
460
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:43,005
That's the guy
with the bladder problems.
461
00:37:43,089 --> 00:37:45,283
I always used to ask him
if I needed a pee break
462
00:37:45,368 --> 00:37:46,887
when we were
driving here.
463
00:37:47,510 --> 00:37:51,687
Oh, and
Livits and Zell are having sex,
464
00:37:51,772 --> 00:37:53,855
but they don't want anyone
to know.
465
00:38:01,258 --> 00:38:02,770
They're not
looking at each other.
466
00:38:02,855 --> 00:38:04,809
Yeah,
but it's obvious
467
00:38:04,895 --> 00:38:07,131
from the way they're
not looking at each other
468
00:38:07,215 --> 00:38:08,809
that they're jonesing
for it.
469
00:38:09,012 --> 00:38:11,418
They, uh, change shifts
every six hours.
470
00:38:11,503 --> 00:38:14,312
Whenever they're on break,
one of them takes off,
471
00:38:14,397 --> 00:38:17,324
and then three minutes later,
the other one disappears, too.
472
00:38:18,104 --> 00:38:20,496
Gone for about an hour,
mas o menos.
473
00:38:21,962 --> 00:38:23,691
Probably most of the time
is spent
474
00:38:23,776 --> 00:38:25,355
taking off
their armor.
475
00:38:31,785 --> 00:38:33,332
Oh.
476
00:38:34,074 --> 00:38:35,488
Uh-huh.
477
00:38:38,505 --> 00:38:41,162
What was the result
of your last routine physical?
478
00:38:44,721 --> 00:38:46,815
I don't understand
these questions!
479
00:38:47,358 --> 00:38:49,511
What are you
talking about?
480
00:38:58,542 --> 00:38:59,832
Hey!
481
00:38:59,925 --> 00:39:01,878
Where are you taking
those two?
482
00:39:05,909 --> 00:39:07,366
Yeah, that's what
I'd like to know!
483
00:39:07,450 --> 00:39:08,758
This is bullshit!
We have rights!
484
00:39:08,950 --> 00:39:10,394
Re-processing.
485
00:39:13,078 --> 00:39:14,800
Move along.
486
00:39:41,804 --> 00:39:43,652
A wall of the lost.
487
00:39:58,718 --> 00:40:00,201
We have a straight shot
to the back gate,
488
00:40:00,285 --> 00:40:01,764
but we gotta
go now.
489
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,312
Yumiko!
490
00:40:08,467 --> 00:40:10,108
- Let's go, let's go!
- No.
491
00:40:10,989 --> 00:40:12,264
Mira.
492
00:40:13,108 --> 00:40:14,335
Isn't that you?
493
00:40:43,632 --> 00:40:45,114
Yumiko!
494
00:40:47,749 --> 00:40:49,343
I...
495
00:40:50,899 --> 00:40:52,593
I have to stay.
496
00:41:16,330 --> 00:41:17,889
Shit.
497
00:41:26,248 --> 00:41:27,534
Need a battery swap.
498
00:41:27,619 --> 00:41:29,189
Gage?
499
00:41:31,538 --> 00:41:33,889
- Gage?
- Roy?
500
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,874
Has anyone seen them?
501
00:41:36,584 --> 00:41:38,068
They took our supplies.
502
00:41:39,933 --> 00:41:41,421
Ammo clips, rations...
503
00:41:41,554 --> 00:41:43,507
Oh, great.
That's just great.
504
00:41:43,975 --> 00:41:46,046
It's this asshole's fault.
He scared them off.
505
00:41:46,250 --> 00:41:47,602
Shh!
506
00:41:48,193 --> 00:41:49,468
Listen.
507
00:42:05,695 --> 00:42:07,439
Alright.
Cut them off.
508
00:42:07,593 --> 00:42:10,070
We'll clear the rest.
Agatha!
509
00:42:35,266 --> 00:42:37,314
- Blocked.
- Here, too.
510
00:42:37,398 --> 00:42:40,970
Hold this.
Let me try.
511
00:42:57,212 --> 00:42:59,843
Fall back!
Now!
512
00:42:59,928 --> 00:43:01,871
Go! Go!
513
00:43:07,827 --> 00:43:10,093
- Go!
- Can we get around it?
514
00:43:10,255 --> 00:43:11,113
It's a choke point.
515
00:43:11,198 --> 00:43:13,035
We don't know
what's on the other side.
516
00:43:13,700 --> 00:43:14,949
Up top.
517
00:43:15,339 --> 00:43:16,778
Go, all the way up.
518
00:43:21,268 --> 00:43:23,839
Go, man. Up top.
On top of the platform.
519
00:43:23,923 --> 00:43:26,320
Go. Hurry.
520
00:43:32,802 --> 00:43:34,023
Come on, man, get up.
521
00:43:34,107 --> 00:43:36,635
All the way up to the top.
Go!
522
00:43:39,184 --> 00:43:40,229
Come here, boy.
523
00:43:40,314 --> 00:43:42,798
Dog! No!
Come here! Dog!
524
00:43:45,336 --> 00:43:46,949
Go. Let's go.
Let's go.
525
00:43:47,033 --> 00:43:48,821
Meet me
at the next platform.
526
00:43:48,905 --> 00:43:50,562
Daryl, wait. I'll be fine. Go.
527
00:43:50,646 --> 00:43:51,954
Daryl, wait!
Dog!
528
00:43:53,392 --> 00:43:55,857
Dog! Dog!
529
00:44:53,992 --> 00:44:55,882
Negan!
530
00:45:12,305 --> 00:45:13,422
Where's Maggie?
531
00:45:13,507 --> 00:45:14,952
She was right behind me.
532
00:45:15,538 --> 00:45:17,522
And then we just keep going.
533
00:45:18,726 --> 00:45:20,547
- Ezekiel's gone.
- Someone took him!
534
00:45:20,866 --> 00:45:23,062
For the last time,
just stick to the story.
535
00:45:24,068 --> 00:45:25,725
Hey! Dog! Come here!
536
00:45:26,005 --> 00:45:27,005
Dog!
537
00:45:33,613 --> 00:45:35,758
I did what needed
to be done.
538
00:45:36,139 --> 00:45:38,139
Sync corrections by srjanapala
539
00:45:45,587 --> 00:45:48,736
This first shot,
on Daryl's wings...
540
00:45:48,892 --> 00:45:53,354
It just feels right to kind of
start this season on Daryl.
541
00:45:53,439 --> 00:45:54,987
There's this big story line that
542
00:45:55,072 --> 00:45:57,950
he's helming
for this first block.
543
00:45:58,034 --> 00:46:00,377
And I think that that
angel-wing vest
544
00:46:00,462 --> 00:46:03,612
with the modifications that
Judith made in the last season,
545
00:46:03,697 --> 00:46:05,932
there's something
that's so emblematic about it.
546
00:46:06,017 --> 00:46:09,439
I think it speaks a lot to the
person that Daryl wants to be,
547
00:46:09,523 --> 00:46:11,044
and there's times when
those angel wings
548
00:46:11,128 --> 00:46:12,552
have gotten destroyed.
549
00:46:12,637 --> 00:46:14,947
There are times when
it's been built back up.
550
00:46:15,032 --> 00:46:17,666
And so we love that image,
and it just felt like
551
00:46:17,751 --> 00:46:21,103
the right thing to kind of
start the story on.
552
00:46:23,118 --> 00:46:26,549
So, we have seen lurkers on
"The Walking Dead" before,
553
00:46:26,634 --> 00:46:28,762
but we just haven't really done
554
00:46:28,847 --> 00:46:32,111
a big lurker
action sequence like this.
555
00:46:32,236 --> 00:46:35,126
They're the type of
zombies that
556
00:46:35,212 --> 00:46:37,064
just seem like they're dead,
557
00:46:37,149 --> 00:46:40,782
and, suddenly, they'll wake out
of this sort of dormant state.
558
00:46:42,216 --> 00:46:46,267
They are a big part of
the mythology of the comic book.
559
00:46:46,540 --> 00:46:48,087
Most walkers are roamers.
560
00:46:48,171 --> 00:46:50,175
They are the ones that just...
They move and move and move,
561
00:46:50,259 --> 00:46:51,655
constantly in search of food.
562
00:46:51,739 --> 00:46:54,627
We thought it would be really
fun to just feature the lurkers,
563
00:46:54,712 --> 00:46:58,227
where the danger is, how many of
those bodies down there
564
00:46:58,311 --> 00:47:01,197
are actually dead,
how many of them might be alive,
565
00:47:01,282 --> 00:47:03,307
and how do you avoid
kind of, like,
566
00:47:03,392 --> 00:47:04,908
stirring up that hornet's nest?
567
00:47:04,993 --> 00:47:07,354
So, it's definitely always
been part of the mythology
568
00:47:07,439 --> 00:47:09,884
but not one that we've used
very much until now.
569
00:47:10,748 --> 00:47:14,299
It was really fun to do
this action sequence and see our
570
00:47:14,384 --> 00:47:16,854
amazing women do the fight.
571
00:47:16,939 --> 00:47:18,857
That idea really
came about because
572
00:47:18,941 --> 00:47:21,903
if you're gonna send people
down into a building,
573
00:47:21,987 --> 00:47:23,721
you want to send
the lightest people.
574
00:47:23,806 --> 00:47:27,088
And why not do,
like, a super-cool sequence
575
00:47:27,173 --> 00:47:29,471
with the women and start off
the season that way?
576
00:47:29,556 --> 00:47:32,782
It was really, really fun
to see them kick ass
577
00:47:39,853 --> 00:47:43,252
I think what's really important
to keep in mind
578
00:47:43,337 --> 00:47:45,144
when we're talking about
our characters
579
00:47:45,228 --> 00:47:47,299
and the debate about
whether to go to Meridian
580
00:47:47,384 --> 00:47:49,260
is that they have
just come out of
581
00:47:49,345 --> 00:47:51,672
this massive war
with The Whisperers.
582
00:47:51,756 --> 00:47:55,719
And it just was devastating
for their communities.
583
00:47:55,803 --> 00:47:58,040
So they're still just
licking their wounds
584
00:47:58,125 --> 00:48:00,333
and trying to pick
themselves back up.
585
00:48:00,417 --> 00:48:03,259
There are people that wound up
homeless, basically,
586
00:48:03,344 --> 00:48:05,077
and had to be taken in
as refugees.
587
00:48:05,161 --> 00:48:08,805
So the idea of kind of traveling
a distance,
588
00:48:08,890 --> 00:48:14,694
going to face these people,
when they are practically starving,
589
00:48:14,779 --> 00:48:18,655
for some of our people, it just
feels like it's bad trade.
590
00:48:18,739 --> 00:48:20,483
Why not try to fix those walls
591
00:48:20,567 --> 00:48:23,095
and find the food
closer to home?
592
00:48:23,179 --> 00:48:26,185
For Maggie, of course
she wants to help our people,
593
00:48:26,269 --> 00:48:29,704
but is there this element of
revenge that's driving her, too?
594
00:48:29,789 --> 00:48:32,931
Does she want to take it back
just to get the food
595
00:48:33,015 --> 00:48:36,447
or does she want to take it back
because she's angry about
596
00:48:36,532 --> 00:48:38,736
what happened and because
the people from Meridian
597
00:48:38,821 --> 00:48:40,112
are kind of pushing her?
598
00:48:40,196 --> 00:48:43,245
So, I think, really, there are
multiple sides to the issue,
599
00:48:43,329 --> 00:48:45,376
and I personally don't feel like
600
00:48:45,461 --> 00:48:48,033
any character is wrong
in this scenario.
601
00:48:48,157 --> 00:48:49,948
You know, it's just really
a matter of,
602
00:48:50,032 --> 00:48:52,037
what are the different things
that need to be done
603
00:48:52,188 --> 00:48:53,821
to keep everyone safe?
604
00:48:53,905 --> 00:48:56,086
And I think people come down on
different sides of it
605
00:48:56,203 --> 00:48:58,957
and have reasonable opinions
on either side.
606
00:48:59,041 --> 00:49:00,393
Well, if you
don't have food,
607
00:49:00,477 --> 00:49:02,758
then it's not gonna
matter anyway.
608
00:49:03,264 --> 00:49:04,571
I'll go.
609
00:49:04,786 --> 00:49:06,573
Anybody else?
610
00:49:12,493 --> 00:49:15,657
In the subway, we really
loved that feel of, like,
611
00:49:15,796 --> 00:49:19,586
the long corridors
that you're sneaking around,
612
00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:22,483
and it's just...
It's dark and it's dank,
613
00:49:22,568 --> 00:49:25,444
and there are
things moving and lurking.
614
00:49:25,529 --> 00:49:28,334
That was something that we
particularly love.
615
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,946
Whenever we do
an environment on the show,
616
00:49:32,030 --> 00:49:33,912
especially if it's something
that's as featured
617
00:49:33,997 --> 00:49:38,146
as the subway, we want to tell
a little bit of the story
618
00:49:38,255 --> 00:49:40,380
of what was there before,
619
00:49:40,466 --> 00:49:42,631
you know, or, like,
what has happened since.
620
00:49:42,716 --> 00:49:46,092
And I think, for us,
we were really thinking about
621
00:49:46,177 --> 00:49:50,505
stories of people who are
homeless living in subways,
622
00:49:50,638 --> 00:49:53,467
and there's
a real story about class
623
00:49:53,552 --> 00:49:56,405
which runs through
what happens in a subway.
624
00:49:56,489 --> 00:49:59,887
And it's also a place where
people from a variety of classes
625
00:49:59,971 --> 00:50:02,020
crash into each other
as they're going to work
626
00:50:02,104 --> 00:50:04,022
or they're kind of
going about their lives.
627
00:50:04,106 --> 00:50:06,311
That, thematically,
is very important for us
628
00:50:06,396 --> 00:50:07,350
for the entire season.
629
00:50:07,435 --> 00:50:11,159
So we thought we'd take this
opportunity in the first episode
630
00:50:11,247 --> 00:50:13,205
where we wanted to do the subway
'cause we thought that that
631
00:50:13,289 --> 00:50:15,366
was cool and scary
and we just...
632
00:50:15,451 --> 00:50:18,037
We haven't done something in
a subway before on the show.
633
00:50:18,122 --> 00:50:20,912
So we're always looking to
kind of mix that up.
634
00:50:20,997 --> 00:50:23,358
But we thought like, "You know,
there is this opportunity
635
00:50:23,443 --> 00:50:26,264
to tell this story about
high and low
636
00:50:26,349 --> 00:50:28,841
and the mix of people that
kind of crashed into each other
637
00:50:29,005 --> 00:50:31,049
at the beginning of
the apocalypse.
638
00:50:31,133 --> 00:50:32,872
We are walking through
a mass grave
639
00:50:32,957 --> 00:50:34,794
that could
still be in use.
640
00:50:34,949 --> 00:50:36,214
She has been playing
641
00:50:36,299 --> 00:50:38,260
dictator
since we left.
642
00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:40,232
Maggie and Negan...
643
00:50:40,316 --> 00:50:43,235
There's just no
love lost between them.
644
00:50:43,319 --> 00:50:44,873
They don't trust each other.
645
00:50:44,958 --> 00:50:46,455
And why should they, you know,
646
00:50:46,539 --> 00:50:50,807
given the history that has
preceded them up to this point.
647
00:50:50,951 --> 00:50:53,866
After Glenn was killed
in front of Maggie
648
00:50:53,951 --> 00:50:56,373
and he just seemed to find
such glee in that,
649
00:50:56,458 --> 00:50:58,912
I don't feel that Maggie
is at a place
650
00:50:58,997 --> 00:51:01,340
where she thinks she's ever
going to forgive this person.
651
00:51:01,424 --> 00:51:04,935
And I think, for Negan's part,
he feels like
652
00:51:05,044 --> 00:51:07,412
he's been on a journey
to try to redeem himself,
653
00:51:07,497 --> 00:51:09,342
and it's been a bumpy one,
you know?
654
00:51:09,427 --> 00:51:13,221
I mean, this is not a person who
is, by any means, perfect.
655
00:51:13,305 --> 00:51:15,093
I think there's
a lot of times that he is
656
00:51:15,177 --> 00:51:19,069
definitely in a gray area, maybe
even still in a villainous area.
657
00:51:19,154 --> 00:51:22,123
But he's trying, and she has not
been privy to a lot of that.
658
00:51:22,208 --> 00:51:26,967
And so he feels like her view of
him is stuck back when
659
00:51:27,052 --> 00:51:30,673
she came and was going to,
as a vigilante, take him out.
660
00:51:30,757 --> 00:51:32,592
And she just left him
to rot in jail.
661
00:51:32,677 --> 00:51:34,460
So I think, on either side,
662
00:51:34,544 --> 00:51:38,072
the lack of trust
is absolutely warranted.
663
00:51:38,156 --> 00:51:39,647
Like, if you were Negan,
of course
664
00:51:39,732 --> 00:51:41,577
you think she's gonna
try to take you out.
665
00:51:41,662 --> 00:51:43,998
She did it once.
Why wouldn't she do it again?
666
00:51:44,083 --> 00:51:47,951
And I think, for Maggie's part,
I think she recognizes,
667
00:51:48,052 --> 00:51:52,397
very reluctantly,
that this is a person who is
668
00:51:52,482 --> 00:51:54,957
formidable
and can be a resource,
669
00:51:55,042 --> 00:51:56,525
but she doesn't trust him.
670
00:51:56,609 --> 00:51:59,608
So I think, like, they're really
starting out the season
671
00:51:59,693 --> 00:52:03,522
just as far apart
as they can possibly be.
672
00:52:03,607 --> 00:52:05,505
Keep pushing
me, Negan.
673
00:52:06,036 --> 00:52:07,525
Please.
674
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:13,494
In our first view of how
the Commonwealth handles things,
675
00:52:13,579 --> 00:52:16,350
our people basically going
through a detention center,
676
00:52:16,435 --> 00:52:18,139
which is, like,
prior to coming into
677
00:52:18,224 --> 00:52:19,766
the walls of the Commonwealth.
678
00:52:19,850 --> 00:52:23,694
For the interrogation, we wanted
this sense of a few things.
679
00:52:23,779 --> 00:52:26,983
Like, one, that our people
are going through
680
00:52:27,068 --> 00:52:32,272
this really horrific sort of
repetitive, strange process.
681
00:52:32,357 --> 00:52:34,030
We also wanted to show that they
682
00:52:34,115 --> 00:52:36,561
were good liars and had clearly
683
00:52:36,646 --> 00:52:39,897
come up with some sort of story,
maybe on the wagon ride over.
684
00:52:39,982 --> 00:52:42,000
But they have decided
that they're gonna tell a lie,
685
00:52:42,084 --> 00:52:43,458
which is probably smart,
686
00:52:43,543 --> 00:52:45,771
given how hardcore
this group is.
687
00:52:45,850 --> 00:52:48,841
Do you consider yourself a
fundamentally honest person?
688
00:52:48,926 --> 00:52:51,323
- Yes. - Of course.
- Yes. - Hell yeah.
689
00:52:51,408 --> 00:52:53,904
We sort of thought,
early on, like,
690
00:52:54,076 --> 00:52:56,777
"You know, maybe this would be
a time to try a split screen."
691
00:52:56,861 --> 00:52:59,476
It's not something that has been
part of the visual language
692
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,391
of this show up to this point.
693
00:53:01,475 --> 00:53:03,943
But it felt like it
was right for this moment.
694
00:53:04,028 --> 00:53:06,387
And I think, like, we got some
really great moments out of it.
695
00:53:06,471 --> 00:53:07,823
Have you ever
been arrested?
696
00:53:07,912 --> 00:53:08,708
- No.
- No.
697
00:53:08,793 --> 00:53:09,873
- Yeah, but it wasn't me.
- Yes.
698
00:53:09,957 --> 00:53:11,637
- It wasn't me.
- During a student protest.
699
00:53:12,663 --> 00:53:14,388
Do you
think this is funny?
700
00:53:14,473 --> 00:53:15,969
Yeah.
701
00:53:16,177 --> 00:53:19,539
Our people find themselves
in the uncomfortable position
702
00:53:19,623 --> 00:53:22,934
of being wannabe
immigrants or refugees
703
00:53:23,018 --> 00:53:26,024
into whatever this place
winds up being.
704
00:53:26,108 --> 00:53:28,853
I don't think they have a really
good sense yet of what it is,
705
00:53:28,937 --> 00:53:32,422
but what they're seeing are just
these kind of odd clues
706
00:53:32,506 --> 00:53:36,861
that perhaps the Commonwealth
is both like and unlike
707
00:53:36,945 --> 00:53:39,211
a world that they once knew
before the apocalypse.
708
00:53:39,295 --> 00:53:42,052
And so, you know,
they see this wall of the lost,
709
00:53:42,169 --> 00:53:46,349
and we've seen things like that
just in the real world.
710
00:53:46,433 --> 00:53:48,220
When there's a major disaster,
711
00:53:48,304 --> 00:53:49,874
people are looking
for their loved ones.
712
00:53:49,958 --> 00:53:52,396
And that comes straight out
of the comic book.
713
00:53:52,481 --> 00:53:56,357
And I think Kirkman took
inspiration from similar things,
714
00:53:56,442 --> 00:54:00,101
where there's this
real sadness to think about
715
00:54:00,186 --> 00:54:02,155
how many people were lost
716
00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:04,844
during even this
fictional zombie apocalypse.
717
00:54:04,929 --> 00:54:09,530
It's just that reminder,
once again, that any community,
718
00:54:09,615 --> 00:54:12,853
at this point in the story,
is comprised of people
719
00:54:12,937 --> 00:54:15,201
who have lost so, so much.
720
00:54:15,286 --> 00:54:17,052
And so that's gonna drive
the decisions
721
00:54:17,137 --> 00:54:19,927
they make about how to move on.
722
00:54:21,632 --> 00:54:23,052
I have to stay.
723
00:54:29,265 --> 00:54:31,742
The final scene
with Negan and Maggie...
724
00:54:31,827 --> 00:54:35,787
I think we were really
interested in the idea of just
725
00:54:35,872 --> 00:54:40,372
pushing the conflict between
them as far as possible.
726
00:54:40,499 --> 00:54:42,708
Negan... that guy's a survivor,
727
00:54:42,793 --> 00:54:45,930
and if he thinks somebody
is out to kill him,
728
00:54:46,014 --> 00:54:49,295
then, you know, I don't know
that he's actively trying to
729
00:54:49,380 --> 00:54:52,153
get rid of her, but he's an
opportunist, as well,
730
00:54:52,237 --> 00:54:56,037
so he sees this opportunity
to just not help,
731
00:54:56,122 --> 00:54:59,008
even if that effectively means
he's okay with
732
00:54:59,093 --> 00:55:01,641
letting her fall to her death,
possibly.
733
00:55:01,725 --> 00:55:05,863
For us, it was always about
this character moment
734
00:55:05,947 --> 00:55:07,969
of these two people that
hate each other
735
00:55:08,054 --> 00:55:09,156
and don't trust each other.
736
00:55:09,241 --> 00:55:11,464
And when you're
in an extreme situation,
737
00:55:11,703 --> 00:55:15,002
do you step up
and help unexpectedly,
738
00:55:15,086 --> 00:55:17,309
which is usually, like,
what we see our characters do,
739
00:55:17,393 --> 00:55:18,702
or do you let kind of, like,
740
00:55:18,786 --> 00:55:20,704
the worst version of
things happen?
741
00:55:20,788 --> 00:55:22,357
We just thought
that it was interesting
742
00:55:22,463 --> 00:55:24,257
to push them to that point.
743
00:55:24,452 --> 00:55:25,882
Negan!
