Julia: He's been watching since we moved in.
- This isn't gonna be easy. - When is it ever?
Previously on "The Walking Dead"...
Now we take it all.
Uh, is my mom pissed at me?
Magna: We need a key to crack the code.
Until we have that,
I'll write about Sebastian's heist...
and hang it around Pamela's neck.
Negan: You helped us,
and I am grateful.
Maggie: This fight that I started,
with Hornsby...
It's not gonna end until I end it.
Judith: I've heard a lot of stories about
when the world fell.
There were more dead than the living,
and it started to look like the world would go cold.
It felt like it was almost there.
Almost.
Some people survived by connecting with each other.
Making found families.
Others gave in to the darkness.
That was a long time ago.
And it's now.
Will it be tomorrow?
Clear.
Maggie: Clear.
Fan out.
Check every window, doorway,
stairway, and hallway.
This ends here.
How many you think they got?
Daryl: Don't matter.
Gonna take them out one by one.
Look who we found.
Where's Hershel?
He's with Elijah and the others. He's hidden and safe.
Negan: He's good, Maggie.
We're here to take out shithead and the dickless brigade.
Well, like I've been saying,
we should go back to the Commonwealth first.
Get our people out and then deal with Hornsby together.
Aaron: No, Gabe, he probably already radioed back.
You know that.
Look, he knows us.
We're never getting through those checkpoints.
And if he has his people go after
our families in the meantime?
Carol's there. So is Rosita and Jerry, Ezekiel.
We have to hope they can handle it.
Hope is running low, and the longer we're out here
having these debates, the more our families
back home are at risk. Our people are out here, too.
We need to find Hornsby and kill him before he gets to anybody.
Wait, wait, hold up, hold up.
We can do all of this.
They've never seen your face before.
Right, are you saying I just walk right on in there?
Yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying.
Me too.
No, Annie, not you too.
Only one of us needs to go into the belly of the beast.
Hey.
I need you to be safe.
Besides, I am fucked either way.
Hey, not gonna get rid of me that easy, okay?
Alright. So what's the play?
Man: Come in, this is Bravo team.
We need to clear out quadrant four.
Man #2: Copy that, Bravo.
Let's roll.
Alright, let's get this over with.
Does anyone have eyes on that goddamn car?!
Fire it up.
We need to get a message to the Commonwealth.
I don't think this signal is strong enough.
Dial in now!
Calhoun.
Calhoun! Come in. Do you read?
Contingency protocol on Daryl Dixon.
Aar...
Alright, go find a goddamn signal and get a message home.
If that car shows up, make sure our people
are on the wall, ready.
Yes, sir. Shoot to kill!
- Aah!
Man: We have visual on the stolen vehicle
heading westbound.
Moving to intercept, two minutes.
Take it down, then find the rest.
If this gets back to Milton or Mercer,
we're eighty-sixed.
We contain this now!
Ah!
Kill him!
Man: Target westbound!
Keep it steady.
Hold on! Target is now northbound.
Keep it steady! We almost got him!
Try and cut him off up ahead.
Crowd: We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!
We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!
We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!
We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!
We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!
We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now! We want justice!
Pamela: Citizens of the Commonwealth,
this is your governor, Pamela Milton.
And I want you all to know this so-called report
is nothing but lies meant to sow fear and anger
in people who have suffered enough.
Crowd: We want justice! Deliver Sebastian now!
Pamela: But I know my son.
He couldn't have done the horrible things
he's been accused of.
Crowd: We want justice!
Pamela: He is a good young man.
Crowd: We want justice!
Pamela: And the Commonwealth is his home.
Crowd: Deliver Sebastian now!
Pamela: He would never do anything to undermine
the safety and stability of our great community.
We want justice!
Crowd: We want justice!
This could get ugly.
We need to be ready to help these people
if it goes sideways.
It's only a matter of time until this gets worse.
We... We need options.
What you mean, leave?
No, I don't want to leave.
These... These people need our help.
Nothing gets decided until everyone's back, okay?
Secure the station.
Crowd: We want justice!
Pamela: That calling is an honor and a privilege.
Woman: He's in there! Bring him out!
Deliver Sebastian now!
What are you doing out of uniform?
Personal day.
Not today. Not with all this.
This isn't my problem. It's not yours either.
Man: General Mercer, sir,
you're needed in processing ASAP.
Not now.
You're gonna want to see this one, sir.
Alright, I'm on my way.
We want justice!
Crowd: Deliver Sebastian now!
I need you today.
These people do.
Now suit up.
Crowd: We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!
We want justice!
I will find the real culprits and bring them to justice.
Now I will answer some written questions
submitted by citizens.
Crowd: We want justice!
You think she knows where he is?
No. Probably in hiding.
He's more afraid of her than he is them.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah.
Pamela: We are following multiple leads.
I want to keep going.
Then we will.
Pamela: We are working diligently to find the people
responsible for spreading these lies.
Rest assured... they will be brought to justice.
You know me?
Yeah, word gets around the wasteland.
So no.
A friend told me about you.
Said that I should ask for you
when I came looking for her.
April.
When I came looking for April.
Do you know what happened to her?
I think you asking me that means that it can't be good.
Why are you really here?
Ran into some trouble.
Some shirt-and-tie-wearing shit and his
clamshell assholes he runs with.
Get him some water.
Now.
Alright.
Who sent you?
I think you know who sent me.
Daryl.
So, listen.
So, this Hornsby prick?
He's been cutting us up out there,
and we're dealing with it.
But see, the problem is that we got people in here
to protect, too.
That's my job.
And yet I was sent here anyway.
I can't just let you in. We got rules here.
Oh, rules? Right.
Well, if no one else is playing by those rules,
then why are you?
Aunt Carol?
Hmm?
The blueberry pancakes are burning.
Oh. Oh, no.
You don't like them burned?
Not really.
You're missing out.
Kelly took these?
Mm-hmm. What for?
So we can learn about this place.
Keep an eye on things.
When are Uncle Aaron and Uncle Daryl coming back?
Why? You like their cooking better?
No way.
Unless there's a campfire, Daryl has no idea what he's doing.
My dad's a good cook
wherever he is.
They'll be back soon.
What is it?
Maybe nothing.
Alright. You guys get up. We got to move.
But breakfast.
No, we'll come back later.
Right now we got to play the quiet game.
It's empty.
Are you sure he didn't say anything else?
Dixon was the only name that came through.
Let's check the school.
Dude. What the hell?
What are you doing here, man?
Well, I'm here to save your asses.
Where is Carol?
Okay.
Charlie Whiskey Actual.
Charlie Whiskey Actual, this is field unit Bravo.
Charlie Whiskey Actual, Charlie Whiskey Actual,
this is field unit Bravo.
Man: Copy, this is Actual, go ahead...
Actual, this is field unit Bravo OTB.
Message from Hornsby, as follows...
Man: Field unit, come back. I didn't get that.
Carol: We're just gonna have a little adventure today, okay?
I need you guys to go back to the bedroom and wait.
And don't come out until I call. Go.
Jerry: Carol, it's clear.
Hey. Hey.
Turns out you might've been right...
I probably should've stayed in the goddamn cabin.
Hornsby tried to scare Maggie by interrogating Hershel.
So the thought is that he is somehow gonna try to use
the kids to draw our people out.
That's why they came for Daryl.
Uh-huh.
But if Hornsby sent those two,
he's trying to keep it under the radar.
Which means we might be able to get ahead of them... and him.
Jerry, do you still have access to that attic space?
Yes, ma'am.
Stocked with supplies, like you asked.
Keep the kids there, and get word to the others.
Tell them to be ready to move on your signal.
I'll start the chain.
Ready for what?
I mean, this doesn't seem like the kind of place
that you can just
stroll out the front gate, hand in hand.
That's why me and you are gonna go try to get some insurance.
Woman: There she is, over there!
Man: Our daughter is dead.
What are you going to do?
I can't imagine the pain you've experienced.
And I share your horror.
Though I can't bring your loved ones back,
I will get to the bottom of what happened...
And who was responsible.
We know who did this.
He did this.
Where are you hiding your son?
What you read was not the truth.
You know where he is.
Guard: Alright! That's enough!
Get back! Now!
Or what, you gonna disappear us, too?
Hey. We hear you.
We do. Guard: Calm down!
To make it here, after everything,
and then lose loved ones this way?
It's unthinkable.
We will find out what happened.
And we will update you on every step of the investigation
throughout the whole process, okay?
Come on, everybody out.
You heard him. Move along. Let's go!
Move it. You, move along.
Man: I'm tired of the lies.
Woman: Everyone's blood is on your hands.
Guard: Clear the area.
Woman: We are not gonna go anywhere.
Come on. We want...
Move it along. Man: Alright, that's good.
Your friend, Connie, the journalist...
You don't suppose she would have an idea
who wrote that piece, do you?
It would surprise me if she did.
Crowd: Down with the Miltons!
Down with the Miltons!
Man: Where is Sebastian?!
We want Sebastian! Pamela, where is he?
B14.
Do it right away.
What do you mean Pamela knows?
Well, suspects, you know, at least,
who's behind the article.
But she doesn't have any proof.
Not yet.
Have you told Connie?
I really wanted to talk to you first.
But you know who what she's like...
She's never gonna run away from a fight.
You think I will?
Please.
From the beginning, you've seen this place for what it is.
You've never stood for bullshit.
It's one of your better qualities.
But you know... More than anyone...
We've made it through a lot by knowing when is good to go.
And if things go bad here,
I want a strong exit plan for you guys.
"You guys"?
Come on, Magna. You know I can't leave Tomi.
We don't go anywhere without you.
End of story.
No, Magna, that's... Miko.
If the time comes to go, then we're all going.
Even if I have to drag you and Tomi along.
Until then, we keep our eyes peeled,
help everyone we can, and wait for the other shoe to drop.
You're so stubborn.
Not one of my better qualities.
But you never seemed to mind.
Woman: Lockdown procedures initiated.
Proceed to your residences, follow all instructions,
remain inside until further notice.
This might be the other shoe.
Come on.
Deliver Sebastian now! We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!
A swarm has been detected five miles out.
Lockdown has been instituted by order of Governor Pamela Milton.
Return to your homes immediately.
After curfew, anyone found on the streets
will be arrested for their own safety.
I repeat... a swarm has been detected five miles out.
- Clear out, everyone. - Alright. Okay.
Our brave Commonwealth Army will be intercepting it
before it reaches our gates.
Guard: You heard him. Let's go.
- Can't stay here. - What are you doing?
Lockdown has been instituted by
order of Governor Pamela Milton.
Take it easy! There are kids here!
Little help. I got a tail.
Keep up with me, okay? We're gonna need to motor.
Come on. Go.
Woman: Get out of the way.
Return to your homes immediately.
After curfew, anyone found on the streets
will be arrested for their own safety.
Alright.
What are we looking for exactly?
Um, blueprints, schematics.
Plans for Union Station have to be here somewhere.
Uh-huh. And what else?
The person that I'm looking for was in the building
right before people started calling for his head.
So he may have stayed.
So, if he stayed and everybody was looking for him,
then he has one hell of a hiding spot.
Yeah.
Hey, did I, uh... Did I tell you I got married?
Mm. Why are you telling me this now?
Well, I don't know.
Because...
Because she is out there, and...
she is carrying our child.
It's gonna be okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Man: Check up ahead.
Where are the others?
Maggie: They'll be here.
Daryl, what y... What you did back there...
I know that Leah meant something to you.
I'm sorry.
Glenn would've wanted me to look after you.
You don't have to ever say sorry.
Not to me.
Hey! Hey! Sss!
Anything?
He's dug in up ahead with half his men.
We wouldn't get close.
The others are flanking us from behind.
We should go east before they pin us in.
Is there any way to get behind him?
Not without them spotting us.
Unless they never see us coming.
Come on.
Come on, buddy.
Go. Go.
Go. Go, go, go.
Hello there.
Small favor, please.
Man: That is last call before we head out.
You made it.
I heard walkers needed killing.
I couldn't resist.
Man: Swarm is past the second checkpoint.
We need support.
Hold your position. On our way.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just... you know.
Yeah. I do.
You want to take a minute?
No, we should keep going.
If we keep going that way, we should come up
right behind them.
Maybe we can get them to come down here to us.
I hate to say it, but we are running out of places to look.
Let me have a look at that.
Huh. What?
There should be a door here.
Jesus.
What the hell?
How'd you guys get in here?
Whoa. Ugh!
Easy, champ.
Get off me!
What do we have here?
Do you know who I am?
Aw. Do you know who Iam?
What do you assholes want?
Get up.
We're taking you home to your mother.
I'm not going anywhere until this thing blows over.
My mother doesn't care anyway.
Yes, she does. You're her kid.
The Commonwealth is her kid. I'm just a problem.
Aw. Oh, my God.
Hey, Junior, when you're pissing in jars
and everybody wants you dead, call me nuts,
but I think maybe it's time to rethink your options.
Now, this one here, well, she is a goddamn magician.
I have seen her pull little bunnies
right out of her ass with my very own two eyes.
So if, for whatever reason, she is throwing you a life raft,
well, then I recommend you jump in that sucker
and save yourself from drowning.
You really think you can help?
Stop.
You are in violation of curfew.
The swarm is past the first two outer checkpoints.
Go to your homes immediately.
My daughter can never return home.
And we're not moving until
Sebastian Milton is brought to us.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
This is Henderson. We have a situation.
Hey. Hey.
I found him! I found him!
Sebastian's here! He's over here!
You guys go. I'll take care of this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You got the wrong guy.
He's over here! Sebastian's here!
He's getting away!
You are mistaken.
This is your final warning. Go home!
You are not safe here.
Crowd: Pamela lies! Sebastian kills!
Pamela lies! Sebastian kills!
This is for your own protection!
Sebastian kills!
Just shut the hell up and listen for a second!
Fine. Clear them.
Man: They've passed Checkpoint 3.
Execute Echo, Delta.
Delta team, keep moving to the west.
Echo is en route. Espinosa and I will handle what's left.
What happened to the outer perimeter?
How did the walkers get this close?
Somebody wasn't doing their job.
Seems to happen a lot around here.
About the other week. That shouldn't have happened.
But I appreciate you having my back.
Yeah. You're trying to do what you can. I get it.
Yeah. Shit is upside-down around here.
In this job, I need people like you.
People I can trust.
I can't. I'm sorry.
If you need my help out here, I'm your girl.
But you want my help back there, that's not for me.
My daughter and my family will always come first.
I respect that.
If the time comes, and you decide to go
and you need help getting out...
I got you.
Man: This is Delta! Echo is down!
- Vehicle overturned!
- Watch it. - Come on.
Take them out. Take them out.
Go!
Give me your hand!
Help me!
No!
We got to go, sir!
Would you like one?
It's a little early for me. Thank you.
You tear-gassed my friends.
If they were there, they were in defiance of lockdown.
And did it help?
Did it actually make the troopers' jobs
easier outside the walls?
It was about what could have happened.
It was about safety.
It always is.
And you don't care that it makes you look guilty.
If you have an accusation, Yumiko, make it.
Look.
Can you really sit there and say there is no way your son
did the things he was accused of?
He's always been something of a renegade, it's true.
But his grandfather and uncles were the same way,
and they mellowed over time.
Became leaders of men.
Maybe he's having his youthful rebellions later than most,
but he's not a murderer.
Pamela, I am trying to figure out how much you knew.
It might be my job to defend you.
How can I talk to my lawyer freely when she's also friends
with the most prominent journalist around?
Mom, I...
You've humiliated me. And yourself.
I told you I shouldn't have come here.
Look at me!
What did you have to do with all of this?
Nothing. Mom, I... Look.
That story is a lie.
People... they want someone to blame,
and I'm an easy target.
You'll need to tell me more than that for me to save your ass.
I think we can help each other.
And who are you?
I work for Lance Hornsby.
He's out there hunting my friends under your flag.
I need your help to stop him.
I don't know anything about this.
And I don't see how it helps me.
If your son didn't do the things that he's accused of,
someone did.
Okay, this ends now.
Drop your weapons!
Guns on the ground.
Guns on the ground! Tell 'em! Now!
Weapons down!
Pamela: This is not just about you. I need him alive.
Daryl? What have you done?
What does Pamela get out of this?
Saving her son.
You go after the Miltons, they'll crush you.
Pamela: You're trying to win a game,
but you've never been a player in it.
Whatever game you're playing, Pamela, I'm very much in it.
A swarm has been detected five miles out.
Lockdown has been instituted
by order of Governor Pamela Milton.
Return to your homes immediately.
Kang: Our characters that are in the Commonwealth
are experiencing their first-ever lockdown drill.
It's really about our characters
feeling like the net is closing around them
and what they've got to do to try to break out of that.
Aah!
Fan out.
Check every window, doorway, stairway, and hallway.
This ends here.
I think Lance is used to being the smartest person in the room.
And I think that he kind of underestimated
some of our group.
Aah! Oh! Oh!
At this point in the story, they've just become
a major nuisance for him, because they will not
just listen to instructions,
and he can't have that.
We contain this now! Aah!
Kill him!
It's not often that they come across a community
that pushes back so hard
against what the Commonwealth is doing.
Ugh!
I think Negan is eager to help
because he still feels like he has something to prove.
And he's been trying to show
that he is somebody that they can rely on and trust.
And he wants to earn his place with them.
It was really fun to get to
write a car chase into the show.
And you know, the footage they got
was really, really cool and fun to see.
I think everybody did a great job
that's involved in the scenes,
and I hope everybody enjoyed watching.
When Negan shows up at that detention center,
we thought it'd be interesting to see
how Negan handles intake,
knowing what he knows now
about what our people have been through.
Mercer: You know me?
Yeah, word gets around the wasteland.
So no.
So his entire goal
is to get Mercer in there to talk to him directly.
And then he's gonna try to sweet-talk his way in.
Our characters... they think
that Mercer is an honest operator
and that he's somebody that they could perhaps convince
to help them.
Why are you really here?
Ran into some trouble.
We really liked the idea of something that had
almost like you're in a spy thriller
and that the vibe is, you've got to have
a very honest conversation while being careful,
knowing that people might be listening nearby.
Alright.
Who sent you?
I think you know who sent me...
Daryl.
We really had a lot of fun with this one
and seeing it kind of come together,
'cause I think Jeffrey and Michael did an amazing job
playing all the nuance of that scene.
I think Carol is definitely shocked
to see Negan show up at her door.
Carol is wary of Negan.
Like, we've shown that she was gonna kick him out
and just, like, kind of walk him off into the woods,
which Negan makes a joke about.
Turns out, you might have been right.
I probably should have stayed in the goddamn cabin.
It's a really fun dynamic for us to play with,
because Carol just suffers no fools.
And in her mind, Negan is still a little bit shady.
So there's definitely always gonna be
a little bit of tension between those two.
But at the same time, they realize
that they have a bigger problem
that they've got to work on together.
I mean, this doesn't seem like the kind of place
that you can just stroll out the front gate hand-in-hand.
That's why me and you are gonna go try to get some insurance.
We've well established that Negan does respect people
who are strong and smart and have purpose.
Now, this one here...
Well, she's a goddamn magician.
So if, for whatever reason,
she is throwing you a life raft,
well, then I recommend you jump in that sucker
and save yourself from drowning.
I don't think he has a lot of use
for people like Sebastian,
who just are kind of drifting through life
and relying on everyone around them
to prop them up.
I definitely think he sees somebody
that has, like, just drifted off of others
for way too long.
Hey, Junior, when you are pissing in jars
and everybody wants you dead,
call me nuts but I think
maybe it's time to rethink your options.
One of the relationships
that we've really enjoyed building a bit this season
has been between Rosita and Mercer.
These are two people
that are really, really good at what they do.
And I think that Mercer really is somebody
that can identify that in somebody,
and so he looks at Rosita as somebody
that he can trust and that he respects.
If the time comes when you decide to go,
and you need help getting out,
I got you.
Trooper: This is Delta! Echo is down!
Vehicle overturned!
And I think Rosita, for her part,
she respects people that are the same way.
You know, she can see that Mercer works hard,
is good at what he does,
cares about the people that work for him,
even though she does not entirely think
that the system is a great one.
In this job, I need people like you...
People I can trust.
If you need my help out here, I'm your girl.
But you want my help back there, it's not for me.
My daughter and my family will always come first.
There's sort of a line
for how far she's gonna go for the Commonwealth.
When Daryl and Maggie are on a mission together,
they're really great as a team.
They have such a long relationship,
and both of them are really tough,
they are leaders in their own right.
But I think that Daryl really feels
like he still owes this debt to Maggie
because of what happened to Glenn.
He blames himself still.
Glenn would have wanted me to look out for you.
You don't have to ever say "sorry"... not to me.
So much of the world is so broken at this point,
our characters... They don't have
a lot of trust in the Commonwealth in general,
but especially not at this point.
Hope is running low.
And the longer we're out here having these debates,
the more our families back home are at risk.
Our people are out here, too.
We need to find Hornsby and kill him
before he gets to anybody.
They are so outgunned,
there's no safety if they really
get in the crosshairs of the Miltons.
Trooper: Drop your weapon!
Guns on the ground.
Guns on the ground!
Down! Now!
Weapons down!
