04x07 - The Wrong Side of Where You Are Now
Posted: 10/15/20 07:28
John...
Stay with me, all right?
Got your note.
I got your note.
Take him this way.
Hey!
She's right there.
She's just one of 'em.
We're gonna get 'em all.
I came here with him.
I'm his friend.
- Okay.
I can get medical supplies.
- I got it.
- I'll be back.
- I know you will.
Guys.
Behind the bus.
Go, go, go.
You told me we could take 'em!
Yeah, I was wrong.
We've got to get out of here.
Let's go!
Cover me.
Wait!
Stop.
I just need the field kit.
No, we need to get outta here.
Please!
Jesus, Naomi.
I thought you got it.
We took you in.
No...
I wasn't.
It's not what you think.
We gave you a home.
And you took it...
There's nothing left here.
We have to get him someplace else.
Get him where?
I know a place, but we have to get him out of here somehow.
I'm sorry.
We gotta leave!
Al...
John's hurt real bad.
We need to get in there and get him out.
Al.
Hey.
I'm not part of this story.
Hey, no, no, no.
You're not hiding behind that thing today.
Because if you do, a good man is gonna die.
This story's almost finished.
Doesn't have to be that way for John.
Look at me.
Let's get him inside.
We gotta move.
Now!
Hey.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I have to go make sure Mel's okay.
Over there!
Erm, he's gone.
I'm real sorry, but you need to come with me.
It's the only way you don't die.
All right, where we goin'?
The stadium.
They told us that place fell.
It did.
That's why we have to go there.
You're supposed to be dead.
Want to tell us what else they got wrong?
All right.
Hey.
You know none of this is gonna be ready for months?
The rations'll get us through.
Did you ever think we weren't gonna make it?
Plenty of times.
So what got you through?
Thinking about how bad I didn't want to be back out there.
It's better in here.
We're better in here.
Hey, Madison?
What is it, Douglas?
We got a visitor.
Why you here, Charlie?
I need your help.
He doesn't have much time.
I'm in, Morgan.
I'll get him there.
Okay.
You're Nick's friend.
Yeah.
You know what I did.
Why did you save me?
Because this has to stop someplace.
You know?
Yeah.
Come on.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Stay with me.
He's been looking for you.
He has, all this time.
He never gave up.
You try to protect someone...
you just wind up hurting them.
What happened?
Alicia, Luciana, Strand, Nick?
What did you do to them?
What happened back there wasn't her fault.
It was mine.
He is breathing.
Barely.
We've got to bring him back.
I think he may have some lung damage from the crash.
So, Charlie, why'd you come to us?
Why didn't you go to someone else in your own group?
Because Mel and Ennis had a fight.
About what?
I...
I don't know, okay?
They were fighting and Mel told me to get in the bus.
He said we were leaving.
When we were driving, one of the dead stepped onto the road.
He tried to go around it, but...
If we leave him out here, will he make it?
I don't know.
If any of the dead show up, he's not gonna be fighting them off.
So, leaving him out here, we're leaving him out here to die.
Okay, so they lost.
Ennis was mad.
And they know we have supplies now.
You got us pretty good before, Charlie.
I lied about that, and I'm sorry.
But I'm not lying now.
Madison.
Please.
We'll bring him back with us.
Whoa, whoa.
Mom, we just started replanting.
We're finally in a good place again.
- If this is some kind of trick...
- It's not.
If it is, we'll handle it.
But we don't know who they are, okay?
We don't know what this is.
Mom, we can't just keep doing this.
She pointed a g*n at my head when we first met.
And now we're replanting our crops, thanks to her.
I'll help you get him in the truck.
This one's got keys!
He got hit in the gut.
She'll be looking for supplies.
The Vultures raided every place from here to the stadium.
Except for one.
Wait.
How long was she with you?
How.
Long.
You know what?
It doesn't matter.
What am I doing here?
It's all right.
You broke a couple ribs.
You may have bruised your lungs.
I can't be in here.
Where's Charlie?
Where's Charlie?
Charlie asked us to help you.
She's here?
She safe?
She's fine.
You need to let us go.
I can't be in here.
You have a serious injury.
It's not safe in here.
You said that once before, but we proved you wrong.
My brother...
He said if this place wasn't gonna fall on its own, he was gonna make it fall.
You know how many weapons we have.
You know how many people are here.
If your brother and your crew want to try something, we can handle them.
They're not the ones you need to be worried about.
The tanks were empty.
The dead were gone.
This is all that was left.
Mel's telling the truth.
You think Ennis is leading them all here?
No, he wouldn't do that.
Are you sure, Charlie?
Gotta be ready, either way.
It's gonna be tough, but we can manage.
Madison, the tanks where we met our new acquaintance, Naomi, were not the only ones out there.
They run the whole length of the railway.
Those tanks have dead in them, too?
Had.
How many are we talking?
- Oh, my God.
- Tell Douglas to double the watch.
Check the weapons in the armoury.
No one goes in or out without us knowing.
I'm on it.
You take Charlie to your room.
Make sure she stays there.
All right, just try to take the deepest breaths you can.
You take me to Charlie.
Right now.
Ah!
Don't make me break those cracked ribs.
Your name is...
Naomi, right?
I'm here to keep you breathing, that's it.
These people, they...
I keep warning them, but they won't listen to me.
But Charlie...
She said you're new to this place.
Maybe you were out there for a while.
Maybe you were at another place that went down.
Maybe you know what I know.
The people who stay die.
And everything they were fighting for dies with them and...
Doesn't need to be that way for you, Naomi.
Whatever you think of this place, it's not worth your life.
You should come with us.
You help us, we'll help you.
'Cause I just got a feeling that...
You know I'm right.
Madison.
Madison.
Madison...
Need the lumber to reinforce the walls.
We'll build you another room once this is all done.
We're not safe here, Madison.
- We will be.
- No, we won't.
Mel?
We should consider what he's saying.
We should think about leaving.
No, that's what they want.
That's what they've wanted since the minute they showed up.
Whatever comes at us, we'll handle it.
'Cause goin' back out there...
things don't get any better.
Madison...
No.
I built this place for my kids.
So Nick and Alicia could have something close to a real life.
You want to protect them, you're going to have to disappoint them.
I thought about us walking away.
After we came back with the seeds, I asked Alicia to prep a car.
"Just in case." But I saw it on her face.
Like I was chipping away at everything we'd built here.
I told myself I wouldn't use it.
I think you should reconsider.
What'd he say to you?
He didn't have to say anything.
Madison, I've been on the wrong side of where you are right now.
And I really don't want to see that happen to you.
This place...
I know you built it for your kids.
But it's not worth risking their lives.
Or yours.
You want to go?
Go.
Why are you really here, huh?
Turn everyone against us?
Bring this place down from the inside?
Where's Charlie?
She's not going with you, Mel.
I helped you.
I told you about my brother.
Where's Charlie?
Which is why we're gonna protect this place.
But I can't let you risk Charlie's life by taking her out there.
Open up the gate.
Madison, what are you doing?
Get the Land Rover.
Mom?
There's food in there.
There's supplies.
But he's hurt.
He might die out there.
He wants to go.
It's not up to us to show him the way.
We don't have time to.
Open the gate.
Madison, I'm standing here because you didn't give up on me.
What makes him any different?
Open the gate or I will.
Gate.
Let's go.
Let me take her.
Please.
- No.
- But...
The two of you, moving place to place, you won't make it.
Even if you do, whoever Charlie turns into won't be Charlie any more.
Madison, please.
The g*dd*mn walls aren't gonna hold!
Yes, they will.
And we'll keep her safe.
Oh, "We will keep her safe"?
Really?
That's the same thing Charlie's parents said to me.
And you know what?
They died.
Right in front of her.
Don't make her go through that again.
That wasn't here.
That wasn't us.
You're holding onto something that's gone!
You're trying to be the type of people that are extinct!
No one's gone till they're gone.
Seal that up.
And don't think about what he said.
Think you should've made him stay.
He was gonna get out anyway.
He might've taken Charlie with him.
Wouldn't have gotten far.
He's not gonna get far now.
I'm trying to protect you and your sister.
- Hey, Mom.
- What?
You remember when I said that I was afraid of who I was out there?
I think I was really afraid of being away from you.
Because you show me the way.
And you always find me when I get lost.
And I felt found here.
I felt like...
I was finally starting to get it.
So, having a guy k*ll himself because we're afraid of him...
I don't think that's the way you wanted us to wind up.
He's gone?
But he's hurt.
He's not gonna make it.
And he's my friend.
I put a walkie in the car.
It's on.
Please.
Please let me just see if he's okay.
Mel?
Mel, can you hear me?
Charlie?
Mel, where are you?
Are you okay?
Mel?
Mel!
Mel?
Please.
Please, you have to help him.
Let's get a couple more over there.
I'm hopin' all this keeps out whatever's comin' our way.
Cole?
We're gonna need you to take it down.
We have to get out.
Does Madison know you're leaving?
What do you think?
You gonna let us out or not?
You're going after him, aren't you?
Your mother did the same thing for me.
Far be it from me to stop you.
Come on.
Let's take it down.
Keep up the chatter.
Madison never checks higher than channel 6.
Sure this is the right thing?
I'm sure.
She'll come around.
We'll find Mel.
She'll remember why she built this place.
Ready?
You know what to do.
You here to tell me you're going?
No.
In that case, sorry about your bedroom.
I can sleep anywhere.
But if you try to remove the showers, I will chain myself to the pipes.
I forgot what it felt like for my kids to look at me like that.
Wouldn't it be worse if they didn't look at you like that?
Guess I taught 'em something after all.
Whatever's gonna happen, it's gonna happen soon.
I'm prepping the infirmary.
Over there.
The Land Rover.
There.
We found him.
Then get back here with due haste.
Is he okay?
Tell Naomi we're bringing him back.
He's in rough shape.
Alicia.
It's all right.
It's all right.
We're just gonna take you back to the stadium.
Wait, Alicia.
Please.
No, no, no, no.
Headlights.
Headlights.
Headlights.
Okay.
It's Ennis.
Strand, you have a convoy coming your way.
Take the county road.
We can beat 'em back there.
Get Madison.
Sound the alarm.
You knew they went out there and you didn't try to stop 'em?
They needed to do it, Madison.
They needed to save him.
Doesn't mean I have to like it.
There.
That ain't a convoy.
Nick?
Alicia?
Is that you?
We're still half a mile off.
Who the hell is that?
We don't know.
Just get in here.
What if they want you to open the gate?
What if it's a trap?
We gotta get 'em inside now.
What's happening?
They're out there.
Nick and Alicia.
Take her.
I'll be back.
We're gonna open the gate.
Get inside.
They're covered in oil.
They get close...
I know.
Get the irrigation truck!
Madison, you can't go out there.
My kids are in that parking lot.
You gonna stop me?
No.
I'm coming with you.
So am I.
- How much a*mo do you have?
- Not enough.
We're not gonna last much longer out here.
There's too many.
We can't drive through them.
Open the gate.
We're going out there.
Now wait!
We gotta get that fire out before anybody goes anywhere.
Not a discussion, Douglas.
Shut up and open the gate.
I got this.
Mom, I'm sorry.
We had to come out here.
We had to try and save him.
We couldn't just...
Hide.
We didn't mean to do this to you.
But it was the right thing to do.
No.
Don't stop.
We don't have time.
You're sure this place has what you need?
I set up the infirmary myself.
What makes you think it's still there?
Ennis and the rest, they took what they could from the outside but even they wouldn't go in there.
But we are?
Please...
Hey, Al.
I think I know who you are.
- I think I've seen it.
- Yeah, you definitely don't know who I am.
'Cause I am a chick with layers.
Hold on.
Stay with me, all right?
Got your note.
I got your note.
Take him this way.
Hey!
She's right there.
She's just one of 'em.
We're gonna get 'em all.
I came here with him.
I'm his friend.
- Okay.
I can get medical supplies.
- I got it.
- I'll be back.
- I know you will.
Guys.
Behind the bus.
Go, go, go.
You told me we could take 'em!
Yeah, I was wrong.
We've got to get out of here.
Let's go!
Cover me.
Wait!
Stop.
I just need the field kit.
No, we need to get outta here.
Please!
Jesus, Naomi.
I thought you got it.
We took you in.
No...
I wasn't.
It's not what you think.
We gave you a home.
And you took it...
There's nothing left here.
We have to get him someplace else.
Get him where?
I know a place, but we have to get him out of here somehow.
I'm sorry.
We gotta leave!
Al...
John's hurt real bad.
We need to get in there and get him out.
Al.
Hey.
I'm not part of this story.
Hey, no, no, no.
You're not hiding behind that thing today.
Because if you do, a good man is gonna die.
This story's almost finished.

It's okay.

It's the only way you don't die.

The rations'll get us through.
Did you ever think we weren't gonna make it?

Thinking about how bad I didn't want to be back out there.
It's better in here.
We're better in here.
Hey, Madison?
What is it, Douglas?
We got a visitor.
Why you here, Charlie?
I need your help.
He doesn't have much time.
I'm in, Morgan.
I'll get him there.

Alicia, Luciana, Strand, Nick?

He is breathing.
Barely.
We've got to bring him back.
I think he may have some lung damage from the crash.
So, Charlie, why'd you come to us?
Why didn't you go to someone else in your own group?
Because Mel and Ennis had a fight.

They needed to do it, Madison.
They needed to save him.
Doesn't mean I have to like it.
There.
That ain't a convoy.
Nick?
Alicia?
Is that you?
We're still half a mile off.
Who the hell is that?
We don't know.
Just get in here.
What if they want you to open the gate?
What if it's a trap?
We gotta get 'em inside now.
What's happening?
They're out there.
Nick and Alicia.
Take her.
I'll be back.
We're gonna open the gate.
Get inside.
They're covered in oil.
They get close...
I know.
Get the irrigation truck!
Madison, you can't go out there.
My kids are in that parking lot.
You gonna stop me?
No.
I'm coming with you.
So am I.
- How much a*mo do you have?
- Not enough.
We're not gonna last much longer out here.
There's too many.
We can't drive through them.
Open the gate.
We're going out there.
Now wait!
We gotta get that fire out before anybody goes anywhere.
Not a discussion, Douglas.
Shut up and open the gate.
I got this.
Mom, I'm sorry.
We had to come out here.
We had to try and save him.
We couldn't just...
Hide.
We didn't mean to do this to you.
But it was the right thing to do.
No.
Don't stop.
We don't have time.
You're sure this place has what you need?
I set up the infirmary myself.
What makes you think it's still there?
Ennis and the rest, they took what they could from the outside but even they wouldn't go in there.
But we are?
Please...
Hey, Al.
I think I know who you are.
- I think I've seen it.
- Yeah, you definitely don't know who I am.
'Cause I am a chick with layers.
Hold on.
