My name is Michonne.

I lost someone years ago.

[g*nsh*t]

[Explosions]

Rick!

But I just found out that he might...

I just found out that he's alive.

♪♪

I saw two people who needed me, your people, and I helped them.

That's it.

No other reason.

No agenda.

But I see what you have,

and I've still got a long way to go.

So, I need to ask for some help myself,

and if you're not in a position to give it,

I understand, and I will be on my way.

First, I just want to thank you.

I appreciate that.
Could I have a horse?

Before we get into that,

I just wanted to get to know a little bit about you

and tell you about our community.

Thank you. I am impressed

with what you have, with what this is.

But that "someone..."

I am eager to go because I just found out that he's --

You could be an asset to this place, you know,

if you don't find this person.

Elle, just give her a horse.

I could just go.

I didn't mean to offend you.

You saved my sister's boyfriend and my sister.

So we should talk about more than --

Just give her a horse.

I meant to say

if you do find him, you could be part

of this community, both of you.

We have a community.

We have kids, kids who need to see their father,

kids who I need to see.

So I have to find him, and I have to go, now.

Go where?

[Sighs in frustration]

It's a place called Bridgers Terminal.

It's north.

You don't want to go north.
Not now.

Stay with us until the migration is over.

Migration?

The tri-state area had millions of people before.

Now they're the Wailing.

We don't know why, but this time of year,

a lotta crowds, they move south.

A couple months, they move north.

It'll be safe then.

Just stay with us for a little while, get to know us.

They say you don't stop for anyone, ever.

Not even your own sister.

We're a community.

We live by the same rules.
We don't stop.

Trying to save two, we could lose 200.

That doesn't sound like a community.

Well, this is how we've survived.

But not everyone, right?

If you don't want to give me a horse, I'm good.

[Door opens]

Wait.
I'm out.

You know the rear guard tried to stop me from going after them?

Of course you do.
Because I keep this place going!

Well, I'm done.
I'm packing my wagon.

I'm packing my wagon

and the rest of my g*dd*mn toys, too.

She was your sister, and they were my friends.

This system is bullshit, Elle.

We're strong enough to stop.

We're strong enough to save people.

What the hell is the point otherwise?

I mean, Jesus Christ, she was your sister.

Nat.

[Gasps]
Holy sh*t.

[Both chuckle happily]

What the hell happened?
Hurt my ankle.

I w--
I went after both of you.

Nat, Nat, she saved us.

[Horses whinnying in distance]

Hi.

And you just... brought them back?

They asked for my help, so I helped them.

You want your own wagon?

You ride VIP with us from now on. Say the word.

Thanks, but, uh, even if I didn't have somewhere to be,

I don't leave people behind.

Yeah.
Me either.

But you're here.

[Clears throat]

Where's this "somewhere" you gotta be?

A place called Bridgers Shipyard.

North.
Well, sh*t.

That's a stupid-ass plan.

You know about the migration?

Five-mile-wide hordes of the Wailing?

I'm going.

Looks like you are.

Lemme get you a horse.
You can have your pick.

Nat --
She can have her g*dd*mn pick!

You said one hour.

Where's the horse, Nat?

You need more than a horse, and I need more than an hour.

Come on. You ain't got much daylight left.

Stick with us for a night.

Sleep in a bed.

Do your su1c1de commission tomorrow.

Bailey: Got you one of the best.

That's my sister's horse, and she doesn't know it yet.

And we can't wait to tell her.

There you go, Michonne.

You can bounce right now.

But if you give us a night, give us a chance to equip you,

tell you how some of said equipment works,

well, maybe you'll survive


once you hit the Delaware border.

One night.

And I'm leaving at dawn.
Lovebirds!

None of those emergency hides for her.

No.
Something custom.

We measure, you get to work,

I walk right through the screamsticks --

God help her -- then she sleeps

so she can face oblivion with some pep,

and we do an all-nighter.

Copy that.

Measure what?

And what are screamsticks?

Bailey: You'll find out.

Really?

♪♪

♪♪

Thank you for the armor, the horse, and everything else.

Michonne, you're gonna find him.

I know it.

'Cause I found him, you found us.

Circles, you know?

Nat: So, let me get this straight.

Rick blew up on a bridge, and it's been years?

Tread lightly, Nat. What he said.

Alright, alright, alright.
It's just...

I like these two, and now I like you.

I'm not too keen on losing

I can stand on this planet, however recent the acquaintance.

They leave people to die.

Why do you stay with them?

I didn't like it before, either.

It was the same thing then, right?

People were left to die.

Yeah, but it's not before anymore.

I think you're all too smart
not to find another way.

Ah. I guess we're
surprisingly stupid, Michonne.

Or afraid.

I'm glad I met you three.

Good luck.

You, too.

Come on.
Let's go.

Hey.

You said your kids were in Virginia, right?

You can try, but you're gonna
be out of range soon

if you aren't already.

You can still talk to them, though.

Then you can show it
to them when you get back.

I thought this was su1c1de.

It is.

I was just being nice.

They're gonna burn

on either side of the valley

Michonne: Alright.
I-I know the story well.

[Laughs]
Oh, my gosh.

You fell off your horse?

Oh, my God.

I didn't fall off.

I was knocked off.

There was a Gasman.

A Gasman?
Yeah.

I'm not gonna ask further
about that.

The purple light,
what was that?

If I ever left, I had this idea
for clearing valleys --

huge, localized,
long-lasting burns.

I had the chemicals
in my red wagon.

I got a lotta toys
in there.

And, uh, the fuel
is out there --

you know, buildings,
vehicles, whatever.

Bailey and Aiden wanted
to go after you,

which is insane
for a multitude of reasons,

but they had enough.

I had enough a long time ago,
but I stuck.

Kept on thinking,
"Just a little longer.

Next spring."

Maybe when I made
the right w*apon,

had the right plan,
and years went by.

[Lighter lights, clicks shut]

It was time to go
a long time ago.

I knew it.
And look at that.

You know, a lot of people
felt the same way, and suddenly,

I had more than just
the chemicals in my red wagon.

Thank you.

Thank you for waking
our asses up.

It's a big move for us.

Yeah, it was.

I know how to build things
and I know how to burn things.

But it takes more than that
at the end of the world.

You showed them that.

You showed me that.

We'll take you as far
as you need.

When I get Rick, you'll come
back home with me, all of you.

You'll be a part of it.

It's just gonna take
a little building.

That I can do.

And now
I am going to sleep.

Mm.

I'm gonna get you
something to eat.

No, no.
I'm fine.

I know.

You need to eat.

You're pregnant.

[Door closes]

[Laughs]

I was, um, craving honey.

And I was just hoping we were
gonna come across a hive

at some point, and Bailey
saw me looking in the trees,

and he told me that he saw
a billboard for a big-box store.

He was trying to surprise me.

Apparently, honey just
never expires, I guess.

My dad wasn't
in the picture.

Supreme assh*le didn't want
a "little" little kid.

Nice, huh?
[Laughs]

And I had bullies.

A lot of 'em.

So I started burning things,

blowing things up
in the woods.

And then my mom, she, uh --
she met this guy --

called himself Danger,
if you can believe it.

She worked at a truly
horrible chicken place


and had one very troubled kid,

who hated Danger as soon
as he looked at him.

And this guy,
with this stupid name,

looked at that
and said, "Hell yes."

Bailey: Whoa!

What's wrong?

There's something
in the front.

I got it.

Anyway, he married my mom,
and right after he moved in,

suddenly, Danger had these
problems he needed solved.

You know, like, that
he needed me to solve.

Couldn't load his truck
with his bum shoulder,

so I built him a lift
and runners

out of stuff
from the garage.

I built him a temperature gauge
he could call on his phone

to see if he left
the stove on,

a timer that shut off the sink
so he wouldn't leave it running,

but could he have
loaded his truck?

Did he forget to turn off
the stove, the sink?

♪♪

Or did the sonofab*tch
focus me up

on how I could build things
instead of burn them?

Guess that's somebody else
I liked.

Sounds like you loved him.

Well, sh*t.

Sure sounds like it.

Well, I love you, Nat.

Please shut up.
