Previously On "The
Walking Dead"...

I got her! Let's go!

Hey Maggie.

We were gonna lose everything.

Negan's the reason we didn't.

You attacked our home, killed
my friends, our family!

Who are you?!

So this is home sweet home.

Yeah... it is.

Come on.

Come on, boy!

Mom! Mom!

Cole has a surprise!

Guess who
this cat dragged in.

Agatha!

Oh!

Can't get rid of
us that easy, kid.

Shoulders.

I missed you, too, man.

It's good to see you, Mags.

Good to see you, too, Duncan.

I thought you guys were dead.

We thought
the same about you.

When we got to Meridian, we, uh

well, we figured if
you were still alive,

you'd be here.

That him?

For my family,man!
Hey!

Hey, break it up.

Come on. That's mine,
alright? I said break it up.

Come on.

Everyone calm down.

There's enough
food for everyone.

One week.

That's it? In that
last run, just a week?

We can make it work.

How?

We just took in two
new communities.

We have no crops, no back stock.

We can get there.

Got people out there right now,

scavenging houses for materials.

And they're
slowing down.

It's a little hard
to put up a wall

with broken tools
and an empty stomach.

Our people are good hungers.

Frost and I could
take a group out.

Ground's all spent.

The last big horde scared
all the animals away.

We can find new territory.

We don't have
time. We need food.

Lots of it. Now.

I know one more place.

The place I lived before this.

Where we lived.

Meridian.

It's got plenty of food,
water, crops, and animals.

Yeah, and now it's gone.

So, what happened out there?

We were on a mission.

Leading walkers away.

Duncan, Agatha, and Frost

took the last shift at
the front of the herd.

Going miles out.

I circled back
with Elijah, Cole.

On the way back home,
things kept going sideways

and we got stuck
out on the road.

Looking back now, I don't
think that was an accident.

All of a sudden, we heard
these screams in the distance.

We raced back home.

But it was too late.

Most of our people
had been slaughtered.

And the rest of us barely
got away with our lives.

The people that attacked us...

We only knew two
things about them.

They come at night,

and by the time you see
them, you're already dead.

That was before we caught one.

Daryl was with me.

He came after us alone.

Why?

Because there aren't
that many of them.

They're at Meridian now.

There's plenty of food
to feed Alexandria

'til we get this place
back up and running again.

That's why they took it.

We just need to take it back.

So... you're leaving
to fight ghosts.

That's the plan?

You have a better one?

Shore up Alexandria,
for starters.

The walls are not stable.

Walkers will get inside.

That's not if, it's when.

Alexandria needs us.

This is for Alexandria.

My son is here.

I have skin in the game, too.

Yeah, but if they
slaughtered everyone once,

what the hell makes this
situation any different?

Duncan, Agatha, and Frost
are Meridian's best fighters,

and now I have them.

And hopefully, some of you, too.

Maggie, this sounds
like a suicide mission.

Well, if we don't have food,

it's not gonna matter, anyway.

I'll go.

Anybody else?

Alright.

Negan, how much longer 'til
we're through the city?!

Well, we got about six hours!

We should hunker down,
wait for this to pass!

You don't get a vote, asshole!

Ah, he's right. We
need to find some shelter.

No! We don't have time!

We can't stay out in this.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Alright. Which way?

Not to sound like
a broken record,

but I think we ought
to take a breath,

hunker down, and wait
for this storm to pass.

You don't wanna go in there?

No, I don't.

I don't give a shit.

Which way?

Yellow line north.

Switch to blue at
Reagan National,

then hop the red
toward Bethesda.

Come on. Let's go.

Hey, can I talk to you?

Why's that?

You think we're
buddies or something?

Come on.

Come on, boy.

What the hell
was that?

The storm's pushing
air through the pipes,

making them groan.

It's nothing serious.

We're good.

Know what that
noise actually is?

That is God, telling
us to turn around.

I'm pretty sure He would
have ran that by me first.

Yeah?

The Good Lord direct
your one eyeball to this?

Water-line mark.

That means this tunnel
floods on a regular basis,

like when it rains.

It's bad down here.
It's worse up there.

Look, man, all I am saying...

And it ain't working.

You trying to run shit.

Keep moving.

Come on.

Dog!

You're in on it.

Eugene Porter?

Yes.

That is my given moniker, yes.

There's no need to be
nervous, Mr. Porter.

Not if you're honest with us.

Those who know me, know me
to be an honorable gent.

If you're inferring something

from my manner of speaking, well

that's just how I roll.

Verbally, that is.

We are Auditors for
the Commonwealth,

and you are under
Level One Assessment.

If you pass inspection,
you'll move to Level Two.

What if we don't
pass inspection?

You will go through
re-processing.

What's re-processing?

We should start the assessment.

What did your parents
do for a living?

My father was a mechanical
engineer, and...

My mother taught Sunday school.

You mean deadbeat
loser number one

or raging prick number two?

What did you do for a living?

I was a zookeeper.

I worked at a music store.

Lawyer. What is your alma mater?

What's the relevance? It's
just procedure, ma'am.

I attended Oxford
for my bachelor's,

Harvard for Law.

Highest level of schooling?

Three years at the
University of North Carolina.

You didn't graduate?

I had to leave due
to a... So, no?

What was your zip code?

How can anyone possibly be
expected to remember that?

From 1978 to 1984, it was 75001.

From 1984 to 1996,
it was 76244-0361.

From latter half
of 1996 through...

What were the results of
your last routine physical?

Uh... I-I don't
think I've had one.

Have you ever been
vaccinated for measles?

Would you like the dates?

Any history of cancer?

None.

Tell me about the goiter.

It's a benign growth.

I've had it since childhood.

Where did you get the
cash we found on you?

The $2 bill?

Tell us exactly
where you got it.

Uh, so, when I was 15,

my first job was at
Missy Moose's Pizzeria.

You know, the... You
can skip to the end.

When I cashed my
paycheck at the bank,

I asked for a $2 bill
so I could keep it,

because it was the first
money I'd ever earned.

When we're done with
these questions,

can I get my $2 back?

Have you ever been arrested?

No.No.

Yeah, but it wasn't me. Wasn't
me. Yes, during a student protest.

History of drug
use? Define "drug".

I was a proud founding member

of the anti-drug and alcohol
coalition at my high school.

How many bowel movements
do you have a day?

Excuse me?

What do you use to wipe? Pass.

Why were you at
the train station?

I was on the road with
my traveling companions,

Ezekiel and Yumiko,

for years, wandering
from place to place.

We ran into Princess

I helped them out.
They loved me.

I decided to stick with 'em.

We were holed up at a place
that had a working radio.

Stephanie and I
made a connection.

We wanted to meet,

but my friends
were worried, so I

pretended like there were more
of us than there really are.

And that's how we wound up at the rail
yard. So we wound up at the rail yard.

I would really like to
speak with Stephanie.

Do you consider yourself a
fundamentally honest person?

Yes. Of course.

Yes. Hell yeah.

Clark: Did your mother
work outside the home?

I told you. Grace
Baptist Church.

What's the location
of your settlement?

You already asked that one.

What was your highest level
of education attainment?

Location of your
settlement? What settlement?

Have you run into
any groups out there?

We've had some
negative encounters.

How lucky are you and why? What?

Location of your settlement.

Do you think this is funny?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Are you in charge?

You've been standing there,

not saying a damn word like
you're the man in charge.

Yeah.

I'm in charge.

Do you think that I fear you?

You look scared to me.

What did you do before the fall?

Let me guess. Asshole beat cop.

That's why this fascist
crap comes so easy to you.

Look at you.

All they had to do

was give you a
pumpkin-colored space suit

and you're back
to power tripping

with your head up your
own ass, just like before.

You think I was some
"power tripping cop"?

The shoe fits. But
honestly, I don't care.

You've been asking us
the same damn questions

over and over for
seven hours straight.

I've
been cooperative.

My people have been cooperati...

Thirsty?

I'm fine.

You told off their leader?

I was asserting myself.

Perhaps I could've
handled it better, but...

I didn't like the way
they talked to me.

Ezekiel, do they know...

No. They don't know.

Gonna be fine.

They seem obsessed with
our medical histories.

They might not let you...

I said don't worry about it.

We gotta pull the
rip cord on this.

Yes.

Yes. Thank you.

This place is...

I don't even know
what this place is.

And does anyone else think

the Commonwealth
might not be real?

Yes, Yumiko. Thank you.

I assumed you would
think otherwise, but...

It doesn't matter. Never mind.
Time to get out. We gotta...

No, no, no, no.

Please, hold... Hold
onto your horses.

Look, they're asking

admittedly strange and
intrusive questions,

but in a polite manner,

and this gruel is not the
worst thing I've ever eaten.

Stephanie warned me up front

that her people
were uber-cautious.

Michonne... our Michonne...

Shut people out from
Alexandria for years.

This is a test.

We have to hunker
down and level up.

Maybe we should just get
honest with the "heat".

No. No.Princess: Oh, you
mean the solider-cops?

Yeah, that's funny. No.

You really want these
guys rolling up to Hilltop

or Alexandria with their
machine-gun swords?

Apologies.

Our people need help,

and I-I think these
people can give it.

Excuse me?

Uh, sorry to bother,

but you mind me asking
how long you've been here?

Four... Four months.Nine.

It's been nine, remember?

Right. Yeah. The...
The re-processing...

But... But it feels like
things are finally...

I'm sorry. What do you mean?

Wait. Wait!

Wait, no! No!

No!

Stop! Stop!

Wait! Wait!

What did I do?

Where are you taking me?

Re-processing.

Okay, we gotta go.

Oh.

Why didn't it make any noise?

Throat's slashed so deep
it almost severed his head.

The guys we're
going after do this?

No.

These people were
killed during the fall.

All of 'em?

What?

We're walking
through a mass grave

that could still be in use.

So, I am asking you...

Are you sure all of them
were killed during the fall?

Take each one out.

Clear the path.

Maggie, hold up...
We're not stopping.

Kid!

Pay attention so we
don't miss any more.

Pay attention?

That's it?

That's... That's
your new big plan?

Tell me, Maggie,
anything in particular

we should be paying
attention to?

I'm real close to shoving
a gag in your mouth.

Well, why don't you

get up on your little
tippy toes and try?

Cut it out. Both of you.

This kid almost died.

You don't give a
shit about that kid.

No, shedoesn't give a shit.

She has been playing
dictator since we left,

not listening to me,
not listening to him.

Hell, not even listening to you.

We don't know if this
tunnel even has a way out.

Whoever or whatever
killed these rot bags

could still be down here.

Has that thought
crossed anyone's mind?

Exactly. It has.

So, then this is a death march,

and you are the
goddamn pied piper.

Now, y'all wanna roll with
that shit, that's fine.

Knock yourselves out.

But not me. Not today.

I am out.

Me, too.

What?

He... He's a dick,
but he makes sense.

Yeah, we shouldn't
have come down here.

We're not splitting up.

It ain't up to you. "Buddy".

Agatha: Just let him go.

He's supposed to be helping us,

but all he's doing
is slowing us down.

We can't.Duncan: Why not?

We need him. He knows the city.

Negan: Oh, is that why I'm here?

I-I'm your DC tour guide?

What, nobody here know
how to read a goddamn map?

I'll tell you why
I'm here, man-tits.

She brought me here to die.

If we get through this,
I'm not coming back.

She'll find a way,
she'll find a reason,

she'll do it herself.

Away from the prying
eyes of Alexandria.

Here in the jungle.

Man, I really thought
you were in on it.

I did.

But see, I can tell from that
glazed look in your eyes,

you didn't have a clue.

None of you did.

You're paranoid.

But I'm right.

Look, you all want to put
your lives in her hands?

Her head isn't even in the game

because I'm in her
head, living rent-free.

So, Maggie, me
dying on your terms,

it ain't happening.

So, what do you say?

Let's just get her done.

Right here and right now.

Because I am not gonna let
you drag me through the mud,

filth, and slime to
put me down like a dog.

Like Glenn was.

We're down here because
up top is death.

We're moving fast because
our kids are starving.

And I'm calling the shots

because that's how
everyone voted.

As for me killing you...

It's always on my mind.

I'm not gonna tell you
that you're wrong about me,

because you aren't.

The woman who left six years ago

is not the one
standing over you now.

There's a little bit
of her left in me,

and that little bit

is the only thing
keeping you breathing.

But I don't know how
long that's gonna last.

So keep pushing me, Negan.

Please.

What do you think, Princess?

Princess.

Princess.

I'm sorry, what?

Ideas? How to get
past the guards.

Oh, yeah. Not yet.

What? What are you looking at?

Livits and Zell are at it again.

What and who-who?
You know, the two

that are always flirting
with each other.

The big guy... Livits.

The skinny one... Zell.

You know their names?

Yeah. You can tell them apart?

You can't? Okay,
we're wasting time.

Hold on. Princess, how
can you tell them apart,

and... and why do you believe
that those two are flirting?

Oh, I dunno.

I overheard stuff when
were on the wagon,

and I remember things
about people, you know?

Like, Zell is from Cleveland.

Livits hurt his leg, so
he favors the left one.

Sorsensen smokes. He
doesn't like Garcia.

That's the guy with
the bladder problems.

I always used to ask him
if I needed a pee break

when we were driving here.

Oh, and Livits
and Zell are having sex,

but they don't want
anyone to know.

They're not looking
at each other.

Yeah, but it's obvious

from the way they're not
looking at each other

that they're jonesing for it.

They, uh, change
shifts every six hours.

Whenever they're on break,
one of them takes off,

and then three minutes later,
the other one disappears, too.

Gone for about an
hour, mas o menos.

Probably most of
the time is spent

taking off their armor.

Oh.

Uh-huh.

What was the result of
your last routine physical?

I don't understand
these questions!

What are you talking about?

Hey!

Where are you taking those two?

Yeah, that's what
I'd like to know!

This is bullshit!
We have rights!

Re-processing.

Move along.

A wall of the lost.

We have a straight
shot to the back gate,

but we gotta go now.

Princess: Yumiko!

Let's go, let's go! No.

Mira.

Isn't that you?

Yumiko!

I...

I have to stay.

Shit.

Need a battery swap.

Gage?

Gage? Roy?

Has anyone seen them?

They took our supplies.

Ammo clips, rations...

Oh, great.
That's just great.

It's this asshole's
fault. He scared them off.

Shh!

Listen.

Alright. Cut them off.

We'll clear the rest. Agatha!

Blocked. Alden: Here, too.

Hold this. Let me try.

Fall back! Now!

Go! Go!

Go!
Can we get around it?

It's a choke point.

We don't know what's
on the other side.

Up top.

Go, all the way up.

Go, man. Up top. On
top of the platform.

Go. Hurry.

Come on, man, get up.

All the way up to the top. Go!

Come here, boy.

Dog!
No! Come here! Dog!

Go. Let's go. Let's go.

Meet me at the next platform.

Daryl, wait. I'll be fine. Go.

Daryl, wait! Dog!

Dog! Dog!

Negan!

Where's Maggie?

She was right behind me.

And then we just keep going.

Ezekiel's gone.
Someone took him!

For the last time, just
stick to the story.

Dog!

I did what needed to be done.

This first shot,
on Daryl's wings...

It just feels right to kind
of start this season on Daryl.

There's this big story line that

he's helming for
this first block.

And I think that
that angel-wing vest

with the modifications that
Judith made in the last season,

there's something that's
so emblematic about it.

I think it speaks a lot to the
person that Daryl wants to be,

and there's times
when those angel wings

have gotten destroyed.

There are times when
it's been built back up.

And so we love that image,
and it just felt like

the right thing to kind
of start the story on.

So, we have seen lurkers on
"The Walking Dead" before,

but we just haven't really done

a big lurker action
sequence like this.

They're the type of zombies that

just seem like they're dead,

and, suddenly, they'll wake out
of this sort of dormant state.

They are a big part of the
mythology of the comic book.

Most walkers are roamers.

They are the ones that just...
They move and move and move,

constantly in search of food.

We thought it would be really
fun to just feature the lurkers,

where the danger is, how many
of those bodies down there

are actually dead, how many
of them might be alive,

and how do you
avoid kind of, like,

stirring up that hornet's nest?

So, it's definitely always
been part of the mythology

but not one that we've
used very much until now.

It was really fun to do this
action sequence and see our

amazing women do the fight.

That idea really
came about because

if you're gonna send people
down into a building,

you want to send
the lightest people.

And why not do, like,
a super-cool sequence

with the women and start
off the season that way?

It was really, really
fun to see them kick ass.

I think what's really
important to keep in mind

when we're talking
about our characters

and the debate about
whether to go to Meridian

is that they have
just come out of

this massive war
with The Whisperers.

And it just was devastating
for their communities.

So they're still just
licking their wounds

and trying to pick
themselves back up.

There are people that wound
up homeless, basically,

and had to be taken
in as refugees.

So the idea of kind of
traveling a distance,

going to face these people, when
they are practically starving,

for some of our people, it
just feels like it's bad trade.

Why not try to fix those walls

and find the food
closer to home?

For Maggie, of course she
wants to help our people,

but is there this element of
revenge that's driving her, too?

Does she want to take it
back just to get the food

or does she want to take it
back because she's angry about

what happened and because
the people from Meridian

are kind of pushing her?

So, I think, really, there are
multiple sides to the issue,

and I personally don't feel like

any character is wrong
in this scenario.

You know, it's just
really a matter of,

what are the different
things that need to be done

to keep everyone safe?

And I think people come down
on different sides of it

and have reasonable
opinions on either side.

Well, if you don't have food,

then it's not gonna
matter anyway.

I'll go.

Anybody else?

In the subway, we really
loved that feel of, like,

the long corridors that
you're sneaking around,

and it's just... It's
dark and it's dank,

and there are things
moving and lurking.

That was something that
we particularly love.

Whenever we do an
environment on the show,

especially if it's
something that's as featured

as the subway, we want to
tell a little bit of the story

of what was there before,

you know, or, like,
what has happened since.

And I think, for us, we
were really thinking about

stories of people who are
homeless living in subways,

and there's a real
story about class

which runs through what
happens in a subway.

And it's also a place where
people from a variety of classes

crash into each other
as they're going to work

or they're kind of
going about their lives.

That, thematically, is
very important for us

for the entire season.

So we thought we'd take this
opportunity in the first episode

where we wanted to do the subway
'cause we thought that that

was cool and scary
and we just...

We haven't done something in
a subway before on the show.

So we're always looking
to kind of mix that up.

But we thought like, "You know,
there is this opportunity"

to tell this story
about high and low

and the mix of people that
kind of crashed into each other

at the beginning
of the apocalypse.

We are walking
through a mass grave

that could still be in use.

She has been playing

dictator since we left.

Maggie and Negan...

There's just no love
lost between them.

They don't trust each other.

And why should they, you know,

given the history that has
preceded them up to this point.

After Glenn was killed
in front of Maggie

and he just seemed to
find such glee in that,

I don't feel that
Maggie is at a place

where she thinks she's ever
going to forgive this person.

And I think, for Negan's
part, he feels like

he's been on a journey
to try to redeem himself,

and it's been a
bumpy one, you know?

I mean, this is not a person
who is, by any means, perfect.

I think there's a lot
of times that he is

definitely in a gray area, maybe
even still in a villainous area.

But he's trying, and she has
not been privy to a lot of that.

And so he feels like her view
of him is stuck back when

she came and was going to,
as a vigilante, take him out.

And she just left
him to rot in jail.

So I think, on either side,

the lack of trust is
absolutely warranted.

Like, if you were
Negan, of course

you think she's gonna
try to take you out.

She did it once. Why
wouldn't she do it again?

And I think, for Maggie's
part, I think she recognizes,

very reluctantly, that
this is a person who is

formidable and
can be a resource,

but she doesn't trust him.

So I think, like, they're
really starting out the season

just as far apart as
they can possibly be.

Keep pushing me, Negan.

Please.

In our first view of how
the Commonwealth handles things,

our people basically going
through a detention center,

which is, like,
prior to coming into

the walls of the Commonwealth.

For the interrogation, we wanted
this sense of a few things.

Like, one, that our
people are going through

this really horrific sort of
repetitive, strange process.

We also wanted to show that they

were good liars and had clearly

come up with some sort of story,
maybe on the wagon ride over.

But they have decided that
they're gonna tell a lie,

which is probably smart,

given how hardcore
this group is.

Do you consider yourself a
fundamentally honest person?

Yes. Of course. Hell yeah.Yes.

We sort of thought,
early on, like,

"You know, maybe this would be
a time to try a split screen."

It's not something that has
been part of the visual language

of this show up to this point.

But it felt like it was
right for this moment.

And I think, like, we got some
really great moments out of it.

Have you ever been arrested?

No.No.

Yeah, but it wasn't me.Yes.

It wasn't me. During
a student protest.

Do you
think this is funny?

Yeah.

Kang: Our people find themselves
in the uncomfortable position

of being wannabe
immigrants or refugees

into whatever this
place winds up being.

I don't think they have a really
good sense yet of what it is,

but what they're seeing are
just these kind of odd clues

that perhaps the Commonwealth
is both like and unlike

a world that they once
knew before the apocalypse.

And so, you know, they
see this wall of the lost,

and we've seen things like
that just in the real world.

When there's a major disaster,

people are looking
for their loved ones.

And that comes straight
out of the comic book.

And I think Kirkman took
inspiration from similar things,

where there's this real
sadness to think about

how many people were lost

during even this fictional
zombie apocalypse.

It's just that reminder, once
again, that any community,

at this point in the story,
is comprised of people

who have lost so, so much.

And so that's gonna
drive the decisions

they make about how to move on.

I have to stay.

The final scene with
Negan and Maggie...

I think we were really
interested in the idea of just

pushing the conflict between
them as far as possible.

Negan... that guy's a survivor,

and if he thinks somebody
is out to kill him,

then, you know, I don't know
that he's actively trying to

get rid of her, but he's
an opportunist, as well,

so he sees this opportunity
to just not help,

even if that effectively
means he's okay with

letting her fall to
her death, possibly.

For us, it was always
about this character moment

of these two people
that hate each other

and don't trust each other.

And when you're in
an extreme situation,

do you step up and
help unexpectedly,

which is usually, like, what
we see our characters do,

or do you let kind of, like,

the worst version
of things happen?

We just thought that
it was interesting

to push them to that point.

Negan!
