Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:11,445
- I didn't know it
would last this long.
2
00:00:11,545 --> 00:00:13,581
I had no idea.
3
00:00:13,681 --> 00:00:16,117
- It's been so freeing
to create this world
4
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:17,818
and to live in this
world for this long.
5
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:24,024
- It's just a really
special bond that we have.
6
00:00:25,126 --> 00:00:27,246
- We didn't have nearly as
large of a cast back then,
7
00:00:27,295 --> 00:00:30,364
so it was a much smaller
ragtag group of people
8
00:00:30,464 --> 00:00:32,433
who were there all the time.
9
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:34,868
- It was just us in the woods
10
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:37,238
as a family just kicking butt.
11
00:00:38,306 --> 00:00:40,541
- I wasn't really 100% sure
12
00:00:40,641 --> 00:00:44,645
how the general
public would take it.
13
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:48,282
- We never dreamed
that there would be
14
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:50,351
this kind of response
to this show.
15
00:00:53,121 --> 00:00:55,055
- 21 million people a week
16
00:00:55,156 --> 00:00:57,558
watching your show
at the height of it.
17
00:00:57,658 --> 00:01:00,861
- I thought that I
would be fine, prepared.
18
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:02,996
I fucking was not.
19
00:01:03,097 --> 00:01:05,866
- Because it was like
jumping on a moving train.
20
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:10,371
- You will not be able to talk
about the history of television
21
00:01:10,471 --> 00:01:14,074
without talking about
AMC's "The Walking Dead."
22
00:01:14,175 --> 00:01:15,935
- I love that I get to
be a part of something
23
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:18,446
that meant so much to people.
24
00:01:20,514 --> 00:01:21,914
- For all the skepticism
25
00:01:22,015 --> 00:01:24,318
about whether a zombie
show could work on TV,
26
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:26,053
it kind of blew everyone away
27
00:01:26,154 --> 00:01:29,056
as to what could be
done with the genre.
28
00:01:29,157 --> 00:01:31,459
It felt very special
from the beginning.
29
00:01:33,127 --> 00:01:34,662
- How do you bring
a story like this
30
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:38,699
to a conclusion that
is worth the legacy
31
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:40,601
of what this show is?
32
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:42,170
- What do we want
to give people?
33
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:43,737
Why have they been
with us this long?
34
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:45,539
And how do we honor that?
35
00:01:45,639 --> 00:01:47,317
- The goal from the
beginning was, make it as big
36
00:01:47,341 --> 00:01:50,110
and make it as impressive
as we possibly can.
37
00:01:50,811 --> 00:01:53,045
- It's just gonna be crazy, man.
38
00:01:53,146 --> 00:01:55,015
- Have I thought
about the end? Yeah.
39
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,751
Kind of breaks my
heart, to be honest.
40
00:01:57,851 --> 00:01:59,387
- We're gonna see
41
00:01:59,487 --> 00:02:02,756
a bit of the OG
"Walking Dead" return.
42
00:02:02,856 --> 00:02:05,058
- Get ready. It's
gonna be bloody.
43
00:02:11,832 --> 00:02:12,900
- So we ready to roll?
44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,868
- I'll have you
introduce yourself,
45
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:17,971
uh, and kind of tell me what
your job is on the show.
46
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:19,307
- Hi. I'm Tom Luse.
47
00:02:19,407 --> 00:02:21,542
I'm an executive producer
on "The Walking Dead"
48
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:23,043
and part of the producing team.
49
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:24,878
- I'm Denise Huth, and I'm one
50
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:26,856
of the executive producers
on "The Walking Dead."
51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,282
- My name is Scott Gimple.
52
00:02:28,382 --> 00:02:31,752
I am the chief content officer
of "The Walking Dead" universe.
53
00:02:31,852 --> 00:02:33,221
- My name is Angela Kang,
54
00:02:33,321 --> 00:02:35,989
and I am the showrunner
of "The Walking Dead."
55
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:37,758
- My name is Gregory
Paul Nicotero,
56
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:39,460
March 15, 1963,
57
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,295
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
58
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:43,897
- Yeah, I've been here
basically longer than anybody.
59
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:46,300
So I know it all.
60
00:02:49,937 --> 00:02:52,440
- For any of us that started
on the show early enough,
61
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:55,609
I don't know that there were
very many people who were like,
62
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:57,611
"This could totally
become a franchise."
63
00:02:57,711 --> 00:02:59,256
We were just like,
"Well, this is the show,
64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,915
"and we're gonna make the
best version of this show
65
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:06,086
that we can for as long
as we're allowed to."
66
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:08,922
- "The Walking Dead"
has always been
67
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:10,791
the greatest summer
camp on Earth.
68
00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:13,527
That aspect of it, of
us being in Senoia,
69
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:15,663
this lovely little town,
70
00:03:15,763 --> 00:03:19,533
just doing our thing
away from the world,
71
00:03:19,633 --> 00:03:22,436
there was a purity to that.
72
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,204
- The expectations
at the beginning
73
00:03:24,305 --> 00:03:27,408
were not that we were gonna
become what we have become.
74
00:03:29,243 --> 00:03:30,278
- It's been interesting.
75
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:32,179
I've done a lot
of zombie movies.
76
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,482
I've never done a zombie school.
77
00:03:34,582 --> 00:03:36,884
So I thought that it
was really good for me
78
00:03:36,984 --> 00:03:39,186
to be able to go through
and kind of handpick
79
00:03:39,287 --> 00:03:41,622
the people that I really liked.
80
00:03:41,722 --> 00:03:43,724
For quite a while, we had talked
81
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:48,962
about the idea of doing some
sort of genre zombie show.
82
00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:50,063
And then, of course,
83
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:51,403
"The Walking Dead" comes along,
84
00:03:51,432 --> 00:03:52,966
the comic book.
85
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:55,536
- We first got the
rights to the comic book
86
00:03:55,636 --> 00:03:57,204
way back in 2005
87
00:03:57,305 --> 00:04:00,408
and spent five years
trying to get it made.
88
00:04:00,508 --> 00:04:02,410
And so AMC finally said yes,
89
00:04:02,510 --> 00:04:06,614
and we were able to shoot
that first season in 2010.
90
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:09,617
- Norman Reedus, take one.
91
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:15,356
- There was so much
care and thought
92
00:04:15,456 --> 00:04:17,757
that went into that
original casting.
93
00:04:17,858 --> 00:04:19,427
You know, I remember being there
94
00:04:19,527 --> 00:04:22,363
for when Andy came
and did a screen test
95
00:04:22,463 --> 00:04:23,831
and Bernthal and Sarah,
96
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:26,400
and it just felt very
special from the beginning.
97
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,336
It felt like this little
kernel of something
98
00:04:28,436 --> 00:04:30,704
that could be amazing
and we wanted to protect.
99
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:32,005
- I won't do it.
100
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:33,407
We can't just leave.
101
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:35,843
- Carol, the group is split.
102
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:37,578
We're scattered and weak.
103
00:04:37,678 --> 00:04:41,181
- What if she comes
back and we're not here?
104
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:42,616
Could happen.
105
00:04:42,716 --> 00:04:44,952
- If Sophia found her way
back and we were gone,
106
00:04:45,052 --> 00:04:46,454
that would be awful.
107
00:04:46,554 --> 00:04:48,556
- I came to be a
part of the show
108
00:04:48,656 --> 00:04:50,558
having done a film
called "The Mist."
109
00:04:50,658 --> 00:04:53,193
And I think it was
three years later
110
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:56,096
and totally unexpected.
111
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:57,531
Got a phone call
112
00:04:57,631 --> 00:05:00,133
they had a role for me
in "The Walking Dead."
113
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:03,437
I had no idea what
"The Walking Dead" was.
114
00:05:03,537 --> 00:05:05,072
I remember going
to the comic store
115
00:05:05,172 --> 00:05:06,807
to find out what it was,
116
00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:10,210
and I opened the book,
just some random page.
117
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:11,879
And it was...
118
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:14,214
And I was like, "Oh, dear.
Oh, dear. Well, I don't know.
119
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:16,384
What am I getting myself into?"
120
00:05:16,484 --> 00:05:18,251
- I read the pilot.
121
00:05:18,352 --> 00:05:20,153
It seemed super honest.
122
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:22,790
I didn't really read
zombies into the pilot.
123
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:24,825
I saw a man trying
to find his family
124
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:26,727
and being confused and worried.
125
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:28,496
And it really struck with me.
126
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:32,900
- Dad!
127
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,902
Getting cast on the show was
128
00:05:35,002 --> 00:05:37,337
pretty fast and really exciting.
129
00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:39,516
They originally had said,
"We're gonna bring you out
130
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:41,241
for a screen test
with Steven Yeun."
131
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:42,652
And then, like, a
day later, they said,
132
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:43,720
"Actually, we're gonna
fly you to Georgia
133
00:05:43,744 --> 00:05:45,546
and you're gonna
start filming."
134
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:50,918
- It was just sort of the
perfect work atmosphere.
135
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:52,853
And everybody was very excited
136
00:05:52,953 --> 00:05:54,655
'cause we were going
into an unknown.
137
00:05:54,755 --> 00:05:59,326
There wasn't a show quite
like "The Walking Dead."
138
00:05:59,427 --> 00:06:01,104
Nobody knew what was
going to become of it.
139
00:06:01,128 --> 00:06:04,598
We were aware that this
would be a six-episode pilot.
140
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:07,367
We didn't know if we
would have another season.
141
00:06:07,468 --> 00:06:09,770
- There was no expectation
of a season two.
142
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,640
So it sort of felt like,
do whatever we gotta do
143
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:15,776
and just get through
those six episodes.
144
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:19,379
- Our production budget and
our crew size was modest.
145
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,518
We had very few resources
to make the show.
146
00:06:24,618 --> 00:06:28,388
What we had were an
amazingly dedicated team
147
00:06:28,489 --> 00:06:30,190
behind and in front
of the camera.
148
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:31,659
- A variety of different bloods.
149
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:33,861
This is, like, our zombie blood.
150
00:06:33,961 --> 00:06:36,196
We have dark zombie
blood, dressing blood,
151
00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:38,999
pumping blood,
dark pumping blood,
152
00:06:39,099 --> 00:06:41,969
mouth blood, zombie mouth blood.
153
00:06:42,069 --> 00:06:43,837
I think six different
kinds of blood?
154
00:06:43,937 --> 00:06:45,138
Something like that, yeah.
155
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,374
- We shot on 16 millimeter film.
156
00:06:47,475 --> 00:06:50,911
We did almost all of
our effects in camera
157
00:06:51,011 --> 00:06:54,715
and kind of embraced an
old-school horror mentality
158
00:06:54,815 --> 00:06:59,252
that got me very excited
about new ways of filmmaking.
159
00:06:59,352 --> 00:07:01,188
- Ooh. There we go.
160
00:07:01,288 --> 00:07:02,322
You know, it felt like
161
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:04,024
a little feature, to be honest.
162
00:07:04,124 --> 00:07:05,124
It felt like a movie.
163
00:07:05,192 --> 00:07:06,894
Who are these people?
164
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:08,896
It was the first thing I'd done
165
00:07:08,996 --> 00:07:11,398
with a group of actors
166
00:07:11,499 --> 00:07:13,333
that were 100% behind you.
167
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,936
Everybody was in it to win it,
168
00:07:16,036 --> 00:07:17,738
and it was a family.
169
00:07:17,838 --> 00:07:20,941
- That whole ensemble feel
170
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:23,677
was really laid down
171
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:26,780
really nicely by Andy Lincoln.
172
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,782
- He was like a superb leader.
173
00:07:28,882 --> 00:07:31,519
- I want to make this
as real, as harrowing,
174
00:07:31,619 --> 00:07:35,923
as raw, and as exciting
as I can possibly do.
175
00:07:36,023 --> 00:07:38,258
I'm gonna give it my all.
176
00:07:38,358 --> 00:07:39,793
- Everybody really
bonded like that.
177
00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:41,373
You know, we were
away from Hollywood,
178
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:43,631
away from our families.
179
00:07:43,731 --> 00:07:45,098
We were out here in the woods.
180
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:47,167
It was just kind of
our little bubble.
181
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:51,071
- It's sort of the
lure of the show,
182
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:53,106
how the cast in those
first few seasons...
183
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:54,651
You know, they never
went to their trailers.
184
00:07:54,675 --> 00:07:55,808
They never weren't on set.
185
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:57,286
It's just they came to
set in the mornings,
186
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:58,612
and that's where they were.
187
00:07:58,712 --> 00:08:02,415
- This is a segment
called Hugs for Free.
188
00:08:02,516 --> 00:08:03,751
- No, no, no.
189
00:08:03,851 --> 00:08:05,851
- It felt very... almost
student-film-ish in a way,
190
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:07,387
but we had a better
budget than that.
191
00:08:08,756 --> 00:08:09,866
I mean, not great, but better.
192
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:13,293
- Episode two in the can.
- Yay!
193
00:08:13,393 --> 00:08:14,738
- A lot of people
initially were like,
194
00:08:14,762 --> 00:08:15,996
"Oh, yeah, I don't really...
195
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:17,097
"it's a zombie show.
196
00:08:17,197 --> 00:08:18,599
It's not really my thing."
197
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:19,979
And then word of mouth came out,
198
00:08:20,033 --> 00:08:22,970
and people would say,
"It's not a zombie show.
199
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:24,471
"There are zombies in it,
200
00:08:24,572 --> 00:08:27,307
"but that's not what it's about.
201
00:08:27,407 --> 00:08:28,776
This is a story about survival.
202
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:30,944
This is a story about
people banding together
203
00:08:31,044 --> 00:08:33,346
to fight against a
greater common enemy.
204
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:35,816
And that's how we fell
in love with Daryl,
205
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:39,352
you fell in love with Carol,
you fell in love with Maggie,
206
00:08:39,452 --> 00:08:41,054
you fell in love with Rick.
207
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:46,359
And that's when the show began
to gain a lot of momentum.
208
00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:49,663
It was pretty fascinating
what we were able to do.
209
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:54,635
The fact that we were changing
the rules of television
210
00:08:54,735 --> 00:08:57,337
and changing the rules
of genre storytelling.
211
00:08:57,437 --> 00:09:01,008
I really do feel that
"Walking Dead's" footprint
212
00:09:01,108 --> 00:09:04,511
has been emulated in so
many shows since then,
213
00:09:04,612 --> 00:09:05,779
because up to that point,
214
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,081
we'd never seen
anything like it on TV.
215
00:09:09,783 --> 00:09:11,351
- I remember early on thinking,
216
00:09:11,451 --> 00:09:14,755
"This is absolutely
phenomenal."
217
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:19,760
Suddenly, people know who I am.
218
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:26,433
And you realize this
is kind of a big deal.
219
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:31,538
- There was definitely a moment
220
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,242
when it felt a bit overwhelming
that it had gotten so popular,
221
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:37,210
and I remember Steven
and I talking about it
222
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:42,182
and kind of trying to find
a way to process that...
223
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:45,753
That you were that
interesting to people.
224
00:09:45,853 --> 00:09:49,089
- You know, the thing
about the fandom
225
00:09:49,189 --> 00:09:52,059
and the popularity of the show,
226
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,895
we didn't really feel it
till, like, season three
227
00:09:54,995 --> 00:09:58,398
or four because
we were out here.
228
00:09:58,498 --> 00:10:00,367
We were so deep in
it that we didn't
229
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:02,502
really see the outside world.
230
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,404
- It's pretty
incredible to be a part
231
00:10:04,504 --> 00:10:07,407
of something that becomes
a worldwide phenomenon.
232
00:10:07,507 --> 00:10:10,243
I feel so fortunate to have been
233
00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:12,079
a part of putting
something together
234
00:10:12,179 --> 00:10:14,281
that resonated as
much as this did.
235
00:10:18,518 --> 00:10:20,096
- It wasn't like we
went to those fan events
236
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,521
and there was, like, 10 people,
237
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:23,590
and then 100 people,
and 1,000 people.
238
00:10:23,691 --> 00:10:25,893
We just went to them and
there was 10,000 people,
239
00:10:25,993 --> 00:10:27,194
like, right off the bat.
240
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:28,537
And it was like that everywhere.
241
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:30,731
There were drones being
flown around here,
242
00:10:30,831 --> 00:10:32,099
people trying to spy.
243
00:10:32,199 --> 00:10:34,067
There were people
hiding in the woods.
244
00:10:34,167 --> 00:10:36,407
- I've never had an experience
where I've gone somewhere
245
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,038
or somebody's noticed
or said anything
246
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:40,073
when it hasn't been an
emotional connection
247
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:41,374
with a fan.
248
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:44,778
And... and I just
thought, "Yeah,
249
00:10:44,878 --> 00:10:47,080
because that's how we
feel when we make it."
250
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,074

251
00:10:58,726 --> 00:11:01,061
- The thing that's
interesting right now
252
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:04,297
in terms of making
people realize is,
253
00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:07,000
is that, you know,
we're officially in prep
254
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,602
for the last episode.
255
00:11:09,703 --> 00:11:11,271
It's not just an episode.
256
00:11:11,371 --> 00:11:13,606
- Walkers, everybody...
Stunt walkers,
257
00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:16,744
everybody's gotta be full
performance every time.
258
00:11:16,844 --> 00:11:18,511
No sleeping walkers.
259
00:11:18,611 --> 00:11:20,748
Every time, it's gotta
be spot on, right?
260
00:11:25,052 --> 00:11:26,052
- So am I looking into...
261
00:11:26,286 --> 00:11:27,420
- You look at me.
262
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,521
- Look at you? Great.
263
00:11:28,621 --> 00:11:30,123
- Well, they're
also prescription.
264
00:11:30,223 --> 00:11:31,491
Are they?
265
00:11:31,591 --> 00:11:33,236
- I can... I'll take
them off at some point.
266
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:34,995
How about that?
267
00:11:35,095 --> 00:11:37,164
- So how much of me can you see?
268
00:11:37,264 --> 00:11:38,331
Waist up?
269
00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:41,468
- My white socks.
270
00:11:41,568 --> 00:11:43,136
- So you can see my socks?
271
00:11:43,236 --> 00:11:44,447
- White socks.
- Hold on. Let's cut.
272
00:11:44,471 --> 00:11:45,839
- Yeah.
273
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:48,308
- You should sit over
there, because that way,
274
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:50,343
if I say something
bad, I can see Brandy
275
00:11:50,443 --> 00:11:52,512
over your shoulder going...
276
00:11:52,612 --> 00:11:54,314
- Yeah, I feel
like I should be...
277
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:56,049
I should be here, though.
278
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:58,151
I should be like, "I
can't believe it's over."
279
00:11:59,619 --> 00:12:01,989
- My name is Ross
Marquand, and I play Aaron.
280
00:12:02,089 --> 00:12:04,724
- Hi, I'm Seth Gilliam,
and I play Father Gabriel.
281
00:12:04,825 --> 00:12:07,194
- I'm Josh McDermitt.
I play Eugene.
282
00:12:07,294 --> 00:12:09,196
- Hi. I'm Khary Payton.
I play King Ezekiel.
283
00:12:09,296 --> 00:12:12,232
- My name is Cailey Fleming,
and I play Judith Grimes.
284
00:12:12,332 --> 00:12:13,901
- Hi. I'm Lauren Ridloff.
285
00:12:14,001 --> 00:12:16,536
I play Connie on
"The Walking Dead."
286
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:22,843
- The experience getting
cast on the show,
287
00:12:22,943 --> 00:12:24,011
for me, was life-changing.
288
00:12:24,111 --> 00:12:25,678
- It was pretty surreal.
289
00:12:25,779 --> 00:12:29,616
- Fans came up to me and
said, "You should be Negan."
290
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:34,087
It was maybe the most
exhilarating work
291
00:12:34,187 --> 00:12:36,423
I think I'd ever done
up to that point.
292
00:12:37,825 --> 00:12:40,260
- I was a bit
intimidated coming here
293
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,429
with an ensemble cast
who had been doing this
294
00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:45,966
and had made such a
name for themselves.
295
00:12:47,534 --> 00:12:50,103
- Very intimidating coming
into a show that you love.
296
00:12:50,203 --> 00:12:52,572
You don't want to be the
one who screws it up.
297
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:55,608
- It was kind of like,
"Here's the script, dude.
298
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:58,211
Don't screw this up," you know?
299
00:12:58,311 --> 00:12:59,856
- But we'd all tell
you the same thing.
300
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,815
We were welcomed right away.
301
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:05,352
- You know, Andy gave
me some shit initially.
302
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:07,220
But it was very good-natured.
303
00:13:09,389 --> 00:13:12,392
My first day on set,
I was just blown away
304
00:13:12,492 --> 00:13:14,061
about how kind they were.
305
00:13:14,161 --> 00:13:16,964
They were so welcoming
and accepting of me.
306
00:13:17,064 --> 00:13:18,341
- Hi.
- I'm Andy. What's your name?
307
00:13:18,365 --> 00:13:19,867
- Addie.
- Addie.
308
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:23,403
- Andy Lincoln came on a
day off just to greet us.
309
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:26,306
Who's done that for me
before in my career?
310
00:13:26,406 --> 00:13:27,807
Nobody.
311
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:30,277
- Before I even got on a
plane to fly out to Georgia,
312
00:13:30,377 --> 00:13:33,646
Steven Yeun was emailing me
saying, "Hey, here's my number.
313
00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:34,882
"Let's hang out, let's"...
314
00:13:34,982 --> 00:13:36,383
You know, "Welcome to the show.
315
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:37,985
I'm excited to be
working with you."
316
00:13:38,085 --> 00:13:39,752
That really set the tone.
317
00:13:39,853 --> 00:13:43,556
- When you're coming into
such a crazy environment,
318
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:45,225
it's such a nice thing to do.
319
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,660
I want to do that for
people in my career.
320
00:13:54,434 --> 00:13:55,678
- This was a really tricky year.
321
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:56,846
It's been a really
tricky two years
322
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:58,271
for the entire world.
323
00:13:58,371 --> 00:14:02,175
And our writers were
already well at work
324
00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:07,147
in the room in January,
February, March of 2020.
325
00:14:07,247 --> 00:14:12,085
- Our usual schedule, we start
the writers room in January.
326
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:14,363
And then, you know, we work
for a certain number of weeks,
327
00:14:14,387 --> 00:14:18,825
and then we pitch AMC the...
Our plans for the season,
328
00:14:18,926 --> 00:14:21,494
and then we start writing,
and then we start shooting
329
00:14:21,594 --> 00:14:24,998
somewhere around the end
of April, beginning of May.
330
00:14:25,098 --> 00:14:26,833
- We had actually
just had a pitch,
331
00:14:26,934 --> 00:14:28,878
what we thought was gonna
be a traditional season 11
332
00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:30,470
of 16 episodes.
333
00:14:30,570 --> 00:14:32,039
And then the pandemic hit.
334
00:14:34,641 --> 00:14:38,445
- At that time, we were
already in pre-prep.
335
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:40,647
Like, sets were being built,
336
00:14:40,747 --> 00:14:43,116
department heads were
getting ready to travel,
337
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:44,684
like, all of that kind of stuff.
338
00:14:44,784 --> 00:14:47,320
It became apparent
that this wasn't,
339
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:49,489
like, gonna be a
four-week thing,
340
00:14:49,589 --> 00:14:52,659
where we pause and then we
got back up and running.
341
00:14:55,062 --> 00:14:57,064
We were just starting
to understand
342
00:14:57,164 --> 00:15:00,867
it was going to be
very hard to produce
343
00:15:00,968 --> 00:15:02,869
the episodes that we
initially had planned
344
00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:05,138
for the start of season 11.
345
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:07,140
But we were one
of the early shows
346
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,376
that started producing again.
347
00:15:09,476 --> 00:15:11,578
Really, not very
many people were able
348
00:15:11,678 --> 00:15:14,481
to get up and running
very quickly in 2020
349
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:18,085
because there were all
these health protocols
350
00:15:18,185 --> 00:15:19,919
that had to be figured out.
351
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:22,189
It was this huge learning curve.
352
00:15:22,289 --> 00:15:24,557
- I got you.
- Thank you so much.
353
00:15:31,798 --> 00:15:33,400
- I honestly thought
this show was gonna
354
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,402
keep going for a while.
355
00:15:35,502 --> 00:15:37,537
- One, I think
more than anything,
356
00:15:37,637 --> 00:15:39,572
it was a shock.
357
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:42,175
- I kind of had a wave of panic.
358
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:43,610
I was like, "Wait, wait, wait,
359
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:45,078
"I'm never going
back there again?
360
00:15:45,178 --> 00:15:46,298
What are you talking about?"
361
00:15:46,379 --> 00:15:47,656
I don't know. It's
just... it's surreal.
362
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,282
I haven't really
accepted that it's over,
363
00:15:49,382 --> 00:15:51,384
I don't think, to be honest.
364
00:15:51,484 --> 00:15:53,084
- And then we got this
phone call saying,
365
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,625
"Hey, so we're gonna
do 24 episodes."
366
00:15:58,725 --> 00:16:00,927
And of course, first
thing I thought about is,
367
00:16:01,028 --> 00:16:04,631
"Holy shit, like, shooting
16 episodes almost kills us.
368
00:16:04,731 --> 00:16:06,466
How are we gonna
shoot 24 episodes?"
369
00:16:06,566 --> 00:16:10,570
I mean, this is not
a courtroom drama.
370
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:12,272
This show is hardcore.
371
00:16:12,372 --> 00:16:14,274
- It's like every
episode, we approach it
372
00:16:14,374 --> 00:16:16,643
like it's its own
little indie movie.
373
00:16:16,743 --> 00:16:18,811
I think for everybody,
just the idea
374
00:16:18,911 --> 00:16:22,382
of how do we produce this
in the time that we have
375
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:25,318
with the restrictions
that we have?
376
00:16:25,418 --> 00:16:27,320
- How do you bring
a story like this
377
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:31,058
to a conclusion that
is worth the legacy
378
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:33,493
of what this show is?
379
00:16:33,593 --> 00:16:37,397
- This is a very
widespread story
380
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:41,234
with literally dozens
of well-known characters
381
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,836
that we all have to...
You have to pay off.
382
00:16:43,936 --> 00:16:47,174
And that is... That's
a very difficult,
383
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:48,641
very difficult thing to do.
384
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:50,410
- People are getting used to it.
385
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:51,710
- What I'll say is that, like,
386
00:16:51,744 --> 00:16:53,246
I know that every
person in this room
387
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:55,091
was like, "Oh, shit, we
have to end the series.
388
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:57,326
Like, let us not fuck this up."
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
389
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:00,253
- Angela Kang and the
writers really had to,
390
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:02,565
you know, drop whole things
that they had been working on
391
00:17:02,589 --> 00:17:05,325
to shift gears to
do more episodes
392
00:17:05,425 --> 00:17:07,493
to get us into the 24
episodes of season 11.
393
00:17:07,594 --> 00:17:08,904
Oh, and by the way, you
also have to wrap up
394
00:17:08,928 --> 00:17:10,163
the whole show.
395
00:17:16,969 --> 00:17:18,338
- This is the end of the series,
396
00:17:18,438 --> 00:17:19,705
so we have to, like...
397
00:17:19,806 --> 00:17:23,276
You've gotta raise
those stakes in a way
398
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:25,444
that, like, elevates
it to the point
399
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:27,980
where these are the rides
we're gonna take you on.
400
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,718
- It's like a story of,
like, the gut, the heart.
401
00:17:31,818 --> 00:17:35,188
You're dealing with, like,
almost, like, the bureaucracy
402
00:17:35,288 --> 00:17:37,390
and the institution itself
403
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:41,027
as being the enemy
of human progress
404
00:17:41,128 --> 00:17:43,830
and, like, how people
with good intentions
405
00:17:43,930 --> 00:17:46,133
can still build something evil.
406
00:17:46,233 --> 00:17:48,168
- I don't think the
Commonwealth thinks
407
00:17:48,268 --> 00:17:49,469
they're evil,
408
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:52,004
given what's happened
all around them.
409
00:17:52,105 --> 00:17:54,407
- In all societies where
there's, like, a figurehead
410
00:17:54,507 --> 00:17:56,243
and they have all the power,
411
00:17:56,343 --> 00:17:59,312
ultimately that
power will corrupt.
412
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:01,481
- So how do you still
ground that down
413
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,550
in the visceral sort of thing
414
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:04,893
that makes it "The
Walking Dead"?
415
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:06,395
- We know that there's
still a contingent
416
00:18:06,419 --> 00:18:11,090
of our people in Commonwealth
that are in imminent danger.
417
00:18:11,191 --> 00:18:13,336
- Well, the alternative is,
you go out into the wasteland
418
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:14,427
and you eat worms.
419
00:18:14,527 --> 00:18:17,597
The alternative
is literally hell.
420
00:18:17,697 --> 00:18:19,199
- Yeah.
421
00:18:19,299 --> 00:18:21,934
- It's teeing up what becomes
a do-or-die kind of situation.
422
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:33,880
- There's a big statement
being made this season.
423
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:36,216
It's not really
what we're used to.
424
00:18:36,316 --> 00:18:38,084
It's something we've fallen on.
425
00:18:38,185 --> 00:18:41,454
And then the writers
themselves are telling a story
426
00:18:41,554 --> 00:18:44,524
of equality and social justice.
427
00:18:44,624 --> 00:18:46,626
- I feel like through
the apocalypse,
428
00:18:46,726 --> 00:18:50,463
we rediscover what is
really important to us.
429
00:18:50,563 --> 00:18:53,366
And then we have
to reenter society.
430
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:56,403
And that is the Commonwealth.
431
00:18:56,503 --> 00:18:59,572
And we face the threat
432
00:18:59,672 --> 00:19:02,542
of losing ourselves once again.
433
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:05,378
So the battle is really about
434
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:17,257
- You've fallen on hard times.
435
00:19:17,357 --> 00:19:18,758
And that is where
the Commonwealth
436
00:19:18,858 --> 00:19:21,661
is more than willing to help.
437
00:19:21,761 --> 00:19:24,564
If you remain, we can
provide labor and materials
438
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:27,200
to help you build
back all you've lost.
439
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,770
However,
440
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:34,006
if any are interested,
441
00:19:34,106 --> 00:19:36,443
I do have another,
442
00:19:36,543 --> 00:19:40,313
potentially more
interesting choice to offer.
443
00:19:44,617 --> 00:19:47,587
- This whole season
feels like an escalation
444
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:49,256
across the board.
445
00:19:49,356 --> 00:19:52,492
Now we're at a place where
we have multiple communities.
446
00:19:52,592 --> 00:19:54,232
And we introduced
Commonwealth this year,
447
00:19:54,261 --> 00:19:56,663
which is by far the
most advanced community
448
00:19:56,763 --> 00:19:58,798
we've ever seen in the
history of the show.
449
00:19:58,898 --> 00:20:00,667
You know, it's a community
of 50,000 people.
450
00:20:00,767 --> 00:20:02,101
It's the closest thing
451
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,770
to what the world
used to look like
452
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:05,204
that we've ever seen.
453
00:20:05,305 --> 00:20:07,907
And that was a huge undertaking
for the production crew.
454
00:20:09,576 --> 00:20:10,810
- My name's Roger Scruggs.
455
00:20:10,910 --> 00:20:12,345
I'm the construction
coordinator.
456
00:20:12,445 --> 00:20:15,181
- Mike Sullivan, and
I'm the scenic charge.
457
00:20:15,282 --> 00:20:16,449
- I'm Gia Grosso.
458
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:17,850
I'm the set decorator.
459
00:20:17,950 --> 00:20:19,118
- I'm Vera Chow.
460
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,787
I'm the costume
designer of this season
461
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:22,889
of "The Walking Dead."
462
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:24,123
- It's been huge.
463
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:25,358
We've had big builds
464
00:20:25,458 --> 00:20:27,226
pretty much every
episode this year.
465
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:28,995
It's been really ambitious.
466
00:20:29,095 --> 00:20:31,364
Everything that's in
there in the square,
467
00:20:31,464 --> 00:20:34,534
the Commonwealth square,
we built this year.
468
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:36,135
- They'll design the set.
469
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,704
They'll come to me and say,
470
00:20:37,804 --> 00:20:39,506
"This is the kind of
look that I'd like."
471
00:20:39,606 --> 00:20:41,408
And then we just
have to run with it.
472
00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:44,411
The first big set that we
did was the Commonwealth.
473
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:47,614
We had no idea how large
it was going to be.
474
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:52,919
- The Commonwealth is
the biggest community
475
00:20:53,019 --> 00:20:54,387
that they've been
in in the show,
476
00:20:54,487 --> 00:20:59,326
and though it has a really
dark underbelly to it,
477
00:20:59,426 --> 00:21:01,761
it's a community that...
478
00:21:01,861 --> 00:21:03,530
That is successful.
479
00:21:03,630 --> 00:21:05,164
This place,
480
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:06,775
compared to any other
place they've been,
481
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:11,338
is so shiny and nice and safe
482
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:13,906
that the place in and of itself
483
00:21:14,006 --> 00:21:16,576
made our characters into aliens.
484
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:19,779
- You kind of walk into it
and you're like, what is this?
485
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:21,881
Yeah, people in the
outfits walking around
486
00:21:21,981 --> 00:21:23,450
eating cotton candy and stuff,
487
00:21:23,550 --> 00:21:26,085
which is definitely different
than what we're used to.
488
00:21:26,185 --> 00:21:27,520
You're like, where are we?
489
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:31,624
You're like, are we being
punked, like, you know?
490
00:21:31,724 --> 00:21:36,596
And I think it plays on my
face in all the scenes there.
491
00:21:36,696 --> 00:21:40,467
- What I do in my
department, my crew, is,
492
00:21:40,567 --> 00:21:43,970
we handle all the set dressing.
493
00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:47,774
For instance, this sofa
would be in our realm.
494
00:21:51,210 --> 00:21:54,614
We had a great time doing
the Commonwealth town
495
00:21:54,714 --> 00:21:57,784
because it's a mix
of found things.
496
00:21:57,884 --> 00:22:02,121
And the little bit that
they do manufacture,
497
00:22:02,221 --> 00:22:05,425
paper goods and you
see a lot of fabrics,
498
00:22:05,525 --> 00:22:08,561
it was really fun
to make the shops
499
00:22:08,661 --> 00:22:10,797
using all of those elements.
500
00:22:10,897 --> 00:22:12,799
There's a lot of weird
shit in those shops.
501
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:17,504
- We've gone from
"The Walking Dead"
502
00:22:17,604 --> 00:22:19,672
back to the living people.
503
00:22:19,772 --> 00:22:22,074
It's kind of like
they're in a community
504
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:24,844
where they're not out in
the wild all the time.
505
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:26,946
They have running water.
506
00:22:27,046 --> 00:22:28,515
They clean their
hands every day.
507
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:31,651
- I was aware of
the introduction
508
00:22:31,751 --> 00:22:34,320
of the Commonwealth,
like, brand-new villains.
509
00:22:34,421 --> 00:22:38,991
So it was a chance to
really change things up
510
00:22:39,091 --> 00:22:40,593
and elevate it.
511
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:44,330
So we started thinking about
what kind of technology
512
00:22:44,431 --> 00:22:46,433
would actually exist
in the Commonwealth.
513
00:22:46,533 --> 00:22:48,034
And there's, like, no rules
514
00:22:48,134 --> 00:22:50,837
in terms of what
decade we're in.
515
00:22:50,937 --> 00:22:52,705
It's not our actual present day.
516
00:22:52,805 --> 00:22:54,707
So how has fashion evolved?
517
00:22:54,807 --> 00:22:57,677
How has clothing
and sewing evolved
518
00:22:57,777 --> 00:22:59,612
in this little town
of 50,000 people?
519
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:01,648
It's entirely up to me.
520
00:23:01,748 --> 00:23:03,249
So that was fun.
521
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:07,386
- It's been such a
massive transition.
522
00:23:07,487 --> 00:23:10,623
And there's not been a
slow progression in that.
523
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:13,192
We really shove our characters
524
00:23:13,292 --> 00:23:17,497
into quite drastic
changes this season.
525
00:23:18,665 --> 00:23:22,201
- I think our group is too
smart to be fooled by it,
526
00:23:22,301 --> 00:23:23,736
to be honest.
527
00:23:23,836 --> 00:23:26,806
And so we're kind of
reluctantly pulled into it
528
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:28,541
because we want
safety for our kids.
529
00:23:28,641 --> 00:23:30,342
We want them to
have a better life.
530
00:23:30,443 --> 00:23:33,446
And then it sort of
unravels around us.
531
00:23:35,014 --> 00:23:36,916
- There's a direct
clash, I think,
532
00:23:37,016 --> 00:23:40,219
for people on the outside
and people on the inside.
533
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,922
And there's an unrest inside
the Commonwealth as well,
534
00:23:43,022 --> 00:23:45,324
and all of that is building up.
535
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:47,694
- The leader is
kind of a dictator,
536
00:23:47,794 --> 00:23:49,596
and she's lying to everybody.
537
00:23:49,696 --> 00:23:53,032
And they're just now opening
their eyes to it, I guess.
538
00:23:53,132 --> 00:23:56,703
- What's exciting is, Mercer
has finally come around
539
00:23:56,803 --> 00:23:59,271
and was able to rescue Eugene.
540
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:02,441
And now we're gonna
see what comes of that.
541
00:24:02,542 --> 00:24:06,178
- After having had Hershel
kidnapped by Pamela,
542
00:24:18,658 --> 00:24:21,027
- The scale of what we're
trying to accomplish
543
00:24:21,127 --> 00:24:25,097
for this finale and
building up to the finale
544
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:26,866
is remarkable.
545
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:30,637
And I think the
scale of everything
546
00:24:30,737 --> 00:24:34,473
is going to be a bit
bigger, a bit bolder,
547
00:24:34,574 --> 00:24:36,475
and a bit more surprising.
548
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:37,977
- All right, here we go, team.
549
00:24:38,077 --> 00:24:39,311
Ready?
550
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:40,489
All right, let's
see what happens.
551
00:24:40,513 --> 00:24:42,148
- We owe it to our fans
552
00:24:42,248 --> 00:24:44,283
and the legacy of this show
553
00:24:44,383 --> 00:24:47,319
to have a... lack of a
better way to say it,
554
00:24:47,419 --> 00:24:49,321
a thrilling conclusion
to "The Walking Dead."
555
00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:50,623
And we're gonna do that.
556
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:52,258
- Mark.
557
00:24:55,928 --> 00:24:58,097
- I've never been on a show
558
00:24:58,197 --> 00:25:01,300
that has this many
enormous sets.
559
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,069
And just trying to get sets done
560
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:07,006
with the time frame
of a episodic TV show,
561
00:25:07,106 --> 00:25:08,808
the challenge is
what I really like.
562
00:25:12,545 --> 00:25:15,815
- When I read a script,
I do get really excited
563
00:25:15,915 --> 00:25:19,118
when there is maybe
a new scenario
564
00:25:19,218 --> 00:25:20,987
we haven't done before.
565
00:25:21,087 --> 00:25:23,790
I'd say one of the first
ones that interested me
566
00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:25,958
was our subway tunnels.
567
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:30,196
To create an apocalyptic
subway tunnel
568
00:25:30,296 --> 00:25:34,000
was really a challenge that
we all really welcomed.
569
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:37,737
We just knew it was
going to be so fantastic.
570
00:25:38,938 --> 00:25:40,607
- One of the big
highlights this season,
571
00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:42,842
they built a
50,000-gallon water tank,
572
00:25:42,942 --> 00:25:45,044
and we filmed in it, and
it was the flooded basement
573
00:25:45,144 --> 00:25:47,346
of Aaron's house.
574
00:25:47,446 --> 00:25:49,515
We have... Judith and Gracie
are trapped down there
575
00:25:49,616 --> 00:25:51,651
being attacked by walkers
who are in the water.
576
00:25:51,751 --> 00:25:54,220
Aaron's jumping in and
smashing their heads in
577
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,822
with his mace hand.
578
00:25:55,922 --> 00:25:58,457
And it's just... it is wild
to shoot in those conditions.
579
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:00,660
I'd never been able to
do anything like that.
580
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,394
- Thank you.
581
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:05,898
- We've had quite a few
sequences like that this year,
582
00:26:05,998 --> 00:26:09,736
and they've kind of, you know,
taken up the scale of things
583
00:26:09,836 --> 00:26:11,604
just a bit, those writers have.
584
00:26:14,140 --> 00:26:15,908
- Episode nine,
we had the hwacha,
585
00:26:16,008 --> 00:26:18,010
which just fires
rocket arrows out
586
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:20,747
as, like, a ballistic missile.
587
00:26:20,847 --> 00:26:22,481
And they're firing into a herd,
588
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:24,150
and they're exploding
and blowing up,
589
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:28,320
and the rockets hit the walker,
590
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:29,555
shooting out sparks,
591
00:26:29,656 --> 00:26:32,224
and then they explode
into a million pieces.
592
00:26:32,324 --> 00:26:34,026
And there were so many elements
593
00:26:34,126 --> 00:26:35,327
we had to come up with.
594
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:37,229
- I built a couple prototypes.
595
00:26:37,329 --> 00:26:40,199
Effects built the working model,
596
00:26:40,299 --> 00:26:42,468
because mine would
have caught on fire.
597
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:47,640
- Excuse me.
598
00:26:49,842 --> 00:26:52,244
I have to take this. Sorry.
599
00:26:52,344 --> 00:26:54,413
Hello?
600
00:26:54,513 --> 00:26:57,516
Everybody is at the
top of their game
601
00:26:57,616 --> 00:27:01,020
and experts in their field
in each and every department.
602
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:02,454
I'm talking greens.
603
00:27:02,554 --> 00:27:05,624
I'm talking art
department, crafty.
604
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:09,261
And sometimes when I don't
necessarily have to be on set,
605
00:27:09,361 --> 00:27:11,798
I'll come on set
just to watch them
606
00:27:11,898 --> 00:27:14,266
because it's so impressive.
607
00:27:14,366 --> 00:27:16,635
- Just tell me your name
and what you do on the show.
608
00:27:16,736 --> 00:27:18,637
- Taylor Knight. I'm the
hair department head.
609
00:27:18,738 --> 00:27:21,207
- Brad Carey, and I'm
the key greens person.
610
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:22,909
- Geoffrey January.
611
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:24,443
First assistant director.
612
00:27:24,543 --> 00:27:26,813
- I'm Jody Winslette.
I'm the transpo captain.
613
00:27:26,913 --> 00:27:29,148
- Bryan Carey. I'm
the greens foreman.
614
00:27:29,248 --> 00:27:30,582
- Vincent Gideon.
615
00:27:30,683 --> 00:27:33,786
I am the key hair department
for "The Walking Dead."
616
00:27:41,861 --> 00:27:44,163
- It's been a challenging
season, without a doubt.
617
00:27:44,263 --> 00:27:47,800
But the only way
that it has survived
618
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,169
is because the passion
of the crew and the cast.
619
00:27:50,269 --> 00:27:51,747
- A couple more times.
- Is that good?
620
00:27:51,771 --> 00:27:54,440
- I need to see four more tests
before I'm comfortable with it.
621
00:27:56,743 --> 00:27:58,721
- Shooting "The Walking
Dead" is like playing chess.
622
00:27:58,745 --> 00:28:01,180
It's a very complicated
show to make.
623
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,451
We have visual effects and
special effects and stunts.
624
00:28:08,387 --> 00:28:11,357
- The glamour of
"The Walking Dead"?
625
00:28:11,457 --> 00:28:13,826
There is no glamour
of "The Walking Dead"
626
00:28:13,926 --> 00:28:15,871
while you're shooting "The
Walking Dead," you know?
627
00:28:15,895 --> 00:28:18,765
It's like go, go, go!
628
00:28:18,865 --> 00:28:21,167
Oh, it's hot? Well,
yeah, it's hot.
629
00:28:21,267 --> 00:28:22,845
Oh, there are mosquitoes?
There are ticks?
630
00:28:22,869 --> 00:28:24,349
Yeah, there are
mosquitoes and ticks.
631
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:25,772
- Bug spray on the tracks.
632
00:28:25,872 --> 00:28:28,674
- And honestly, when
I'm away, I feel guilty
633
00:28:28,775 --> 00:28:31,844
because I know that my crew
is out here busting their ass.
634
00:28:31,944 --> 00:28:33,379
And I want to be out here,
635
00:28:33,479 --> 00:28:35,314
you know, feeling it with them.
636
00:28:35,414 --> 00:28:37,449
The truth is, we make
magic in eight days.
637
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:39,029
And if you do it
with people you love,
638
00:28:39,085 --> 00:28:40,352
it's actually worth it.
639
00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:48,527
- This show makes
you uncomfortable.
640
00:28:48,627 --> 00:28:51,363
But I think it helps for what
you guys see on the screen.
641
00:28:51,463 --> 00:28:53,165
You feel that uncomfortableness,
642
00:28:53,265 --> 00:28:54,466
and that plays
643
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:56,702
because we're in the
middle of an apocalypse.
644
00:28:56,803 --> 00:29:00,907
Those of us that have been here
longer than a year are insane.
645
00:29:02,008 --> 00:29:04,710
- I've been in awe of the people
646
00:29:04,811 --> 00:29:08,014
that I've collaborated
with over the last 12 years
647
00:29:08,114 --> 00:29:10,549
of making something
that's been amazing.
648
00:29:10,649 --> 00:29:14,486
And we continue that dedication
649
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:17,723
and that passion all the way
through to the last ring.
650
00:29:17,824 --> 00:29:20,692
- We are gonna work our
asses off until then,
651
00:29:20,793 --> 00:29:24,396
and then we're gonna
have a lot of tequila.
652
00:29:32,872 --> 00:29:35,374
- Anything that happens
from the moment we shoot it,
653
00:29:35,474 --> 00:29:40,012
we'll take in 40, 50, 60 hours
worth of material sometimes.
654
00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:41,914
Once we take that footage in,
655
00:29:42,014 --> 00:29:45,284
our assistant editors digitize
that footage for the editors,
656
00:29:45,384 --> 00:29:47,887
put it into the machines,
kind of put it into order,
657
00:29:47,987 --> 00:29:49,822
and get it ready
to be worked on.
658
00:29:52,959 --> 00:29:55,627
- I'm Megan. I'm
the VFX coordinator.
659
00:29:55,727 --> 00:29:58,297
- I'm Mike, the VFX editor.
660
00:29:58,397 --> 00:30:00,632
- I'm Alan Cody,
and I'm the editor.
661
00:30:00,732 --> 00:30:03,635
- I am Ryan DeGard. I
am the post producer.
662
00:30:04,703 --> 00:30:07,106
- There's some
fun stuff in post.
663
00:30:07,206 --> 00:30:09,475
And I think a lot of
times, people think,
664
00:30:09,575 --> 00:30:11,277
like, "Oh, like,
it's done shooting."
665
00:30:11,377 --> 00:30:12,778
Like, you must all
be on a break."
666
00:30:12,879 --> 00:30:14,981
And I'm like, "No,
production is on a break."
667
00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:18,689
There's an entire
post-production process
668
00:30:18,717 --> 00:30:21,420
that's happening that
goes on for months
669
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,122
and months and months.
670
00:30:23,222 --> 00:30:25,925
- I think that's one
of the misconceptions
671
00:30:26,025 --> 00:30:28,895
of, you know... just in general
with television and movies.
672
00:30:28,995 --> 00:30:30,338
It's like, as soon
as you've shot it,
673
00:30:30,362 --> 00:30:32,664
why isn't it ready
for us to watch it?
674
00:30:32,764 --> 00:30:35,567
So it's like, you have to
go through these processes,
675
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:37,003
and they take a lot of time.
676
00:30:37,103 --> 00:30:39,505
And the post process
consists of editing,
677
00:30:39,605 --> 00:30:42,975
sound, visual effects, mixing.
678
00:30:43,075 --> 00:30:44,795
And we kind of put that
whole thing together
679
00:30:44,877 --> 00:30:48,014
in the post process and,
you know, condense that down
680
00:30:48,114 --> 00:30:50,416
into something that we
put out to the public.
681
00:30:50,516 --> 00:30:52,919
- I'm Jamie. I'm
the VFX producer.
682
00:30:53,019 --> 00:30:54,219
Our show has a lot of killing,
683
00:30:54,253 --> 00:30:56,255
especially of zombies.
684
00:30:56,355 --> 00:31:00,459
And each actor has kind of
their own, like, hero weapon.
685
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:02,794
And if we see that green
end when we're watching,
686
00:31:02,895 --> 00:31:04,172
we know, "Okay, we're gonna need
687
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:05,831
to extend the length of it."
688
00:31:05,932 --> 00:31:07,333
And then we'll kind of take
689
00:31:07,433 --> 00:31:09,969
that second half
that we're building
690
00:31:10,069 --> 00:31:12,438
and be able to swing it
through the actor's head
691
00:31:12,538 --> 00:31:15,807
and add the blood and
all of the fun stuff.
692
00:31:15,908 --> 00:31:17,376
- So all of those things happen.
693
00:31:17,476 --> 00:31:19,211
There's an entire mix process.
694
00:31:19,311 --> 00:31:23,015
And our post producer does
an incredible amount of work
695
00:31:23,115 --> 00:31:26,052
with the people that
do ADR and loop group
696
00:31:26,152 --> 00:31:28,187
and add all the
background noises.
697
00:31:28,287 --> 00:31:29,607
- Let's do these
three right here,
698
00:31:29,655 --> 00:31:31,123
and then we'll
move them in there.
699
00:31:31,223 --> 00:31:32,324
- Get down!
700
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:38,564
- As far as sound
goes, this show is,
701
00:31:38,664 --> 00:31:41,067
you know, built
on sound, really.
702
00:31:41,167 --> 00:31:44,503
I mean, there's just a lot
of layers to what we do.
703
00:31:44,603 --> 00:31:46,572
- It is a zombie show.
704
00:31:46,672 --> 00:31:49,408
We take a lot of
pride in the artistry
705
00:31:49,508 --> 00:31:50,909
that goes into the zombies.
706
00:31:51,010 --> 00:31:52,850
We work really hard to
think about the zombies.
707
00:31:52,945 --> 00:31:56,082
Here we go.
708
00:32:01,787 --> 00:32:03,855
- There's just some
incredible work
709
00:32:03,956 --> 00:32:07,326
that they all do
that's on screen.
710
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:09,171
- The last music spot
on "The Walking Dead."
711
00:32:09,195 --> 00:32:11,430
- I know!
712
00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:15,367
- God, shed a tear,
and here we go.
713
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:18,037
- I love working
with our composers.
714
00:32:18,137 --> 00:32:20,439
Bear and Sam are just...
715
00:32:20,539 --> 00:32:21,740
They are the best.
716
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,243
They are so story-driven.
717
00:32:24,343 --> 00:32:26,778
They really, like, are
thinking it through
718
00:32:26,878 --> 00:32:28,780
in terms of, like,
what is the story
719
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,948
we're trying to tell?
720
00:32:30,049 --> 00:32:32,451
- Coming out of the
previous episode,
721
00:32:32,551 --> 00:32:34,520
it will have been
emotional, I think.
722
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:37,423
To some degree, we can
just, like, carry that over.
723
00:32:37,523 --> 00:32:39,125
- I agree, but it's like...
724
00:32:39,225 --> 00:32:40,802
I think what you're
suggesting is what I wanted,
725
00:32:40,826 --> 00:32:43,195
which is to start
that more noticeably
726
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,197
the instant passes out...
727
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:46,398
- Yeah.
- Right.
728
00:32:46,498 --> 00:32:48,634
- so that that's all
part of the piece.
729
00:32:48,734 --> 00:32:50,269
- We talk about every scene
730
00:32:50,369 --> 00:32:52,038
and we talk about the
episode as a whole
731
00:32:52,138 --> 00:32:53,939
and we talk about,
like, what are themes
732
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,774
that we're trying to get across?
733
00:32:55,874 --> 00:32:58,044
Like, what are the
emotions of this scene?
734
00:32:58,144 --> 00:33:00,046
And once we have
that conversation,
735
00:33:00,146 --> 00:33:02,448
they go off and
they play with it.
736
00:33:02,548 --> 00:33:03,782
They imagine.
737
00:33:03,882 --> 00:33:06,252
They come up with themes.
738
00:33:06,352 --> 00:33:08,054
It really just adds
to the experience.
739
00:33:08,154 --> 00:33:10,322
- Are we still
planning on recording
740
00:33:10,422 --> 00:33:12,958
the main title theme
with the live orchestra
741
00:33:13,059 --> 00:33:14,060
as well?
742
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,561
I would love to do that.
743
00:33:15,661 --> 00:33:16,971
- I mean, let me
put it this way.
744
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:18,830
- That'd be rad.
- It doesn't need it.
745
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:20,399
It doesn't want it.
746
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:22,734
But we'll do it because
it will look awesome.
747
00:33:24,403 --> 00:33:28,574
- This idea of having Bear
and Sam use a live orchestra
748
00:33:28,674 --> 00:33:30,776
had been kind of percolating
for a while for me.
749
00:33:30,876 --> 00:33:34,012
And I'd been kind of thinking
about it in the background.
750
00:33:34,113 --> 00:33:35,614
It's a big moment for the show.
751
00:33:35,714 --> 00:33:37,349
And when you have
a live orchestra,
752
00:33:37,449 --> 00:33:38,917
it's big, right? It's epic.
753
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:41,987
So, like, the idea that Bear
and Sam are gonna deliver
754
00:33:42,088 --> 00:33:44,756
this music in a way that
we've never experienced
755
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:47,025
really on this
show, it's exciting.
756
00:33:47,126 --> 00:33:48,694
- Some of the stuff
they're composing
757
00:33:48,794 --> 00:33:50,662
that hasn't aired yet,
it's just... it's epic.
758
00:33:50,762 --> 00:33:52,298
It's amazing.
759
00:33:52,398 --> 00:33:54,109
Like, I think people
will really, really enjoy
760
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:56,302
the soundscape of
these episodes.
761
00:33:57,469 --> 00:34:00,038
Welcome.
762
00:34:00,139 --> 00:34:03,008
This particular episode, we
wanted to send out the show
763
00:34:03,109 --> 00:34:04,676
on an even bigger note.
764
00:34:04,776 --> 00:34:06,545
So everybody on
the show is excited
765
00:34:06,645 --> 00:34:08,380
to bring in the
winds and the brass
766
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,150
and just do something
even bigger than normal.
767
00:34:11,250 --> 00:34:13,319
So just really want to
say thank you to them
768
00:34:13,418 --> 00:34:16,054
for letting us do this tonight.
769
00:34:16,155 --> 00:34:18,857
And thank you all
for being here.
770
00:34:18,956 --> 00:34:21,393
Okay, bows up. Bar two.
771
00:34:30,502 --> 00:34:32,271
- It's truly, truly a process
772
00:34:32,371 --> 00:34:35,706
that hundreds of people
from start to finish
773
00:34:35,806 --> 00:34:37,176
are working on.
774
00:34:38,744 --> 00:34:43,014
It's so fun to get to
be part of all of that.
775
00:34:43,114 --> 00:34:45,984
But just the amount of
work that people put in
776
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:48,820
to, like, really
craft every episode
777
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:57,154
- I'm trying to get
your kit pretty much
778
00:34:57,529 --> 00:34:58,897
in the same direction
of the lens.
779
00:34:58,997 --> 00:35:00,199
So you're like...
780
00:35:00,299 --> 00:35:03,335
- All right, here we
go. Let's try one.
781
00:35:03,435 --> 00:35:06,405
Here we go. Let's
roll, please.
782
00:35:06,505 --> 00:35:08,240
- The nature of the show
783
00:35:08,340 --> 00:35:09,875
and being an actor on this show,
784
00:35:09,975 --> 00:35:12,578
you always sort of feel like
the axe is about to drop on you
785
00:35:12,678 --> 00:35:14,045
at any second.
786
00:35:14,146 --> 00:35:15,666
- Shoot yourself
back just a tiny bit.
787
00:35:15,714 --> 00:35:16,882
By, like...
- Like that?
788
00:35:16,982 --> 00:35:18,584
- Yeah, perfect. Thank you.
789
00:35:18,684 --> 00:35:21,453
- I always answer the phone
to Angela the same way,
790
00:35:21,553 --> 00:35:23,355
which is, "Is it... am I dead?
791
00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:26,024
Is it now?" I don't
even say hello.
792
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:27,859
- All right, that's
a series wrap
793
00:35:27,959 --> 00:35:29,428
on Michael, guys.
794
00:35:32,531 --> 00:35:34,633
- You know, on our
show, we have wrap-outs
795
00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:38,036
as people have their
final series wraps.
796
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,606
And the final
episode of somebody
797
00:35:40,706 --> 00:35:42,217
who's been on the show
for a while is always
798
00:35:42,241 --> 00:35:43,742
really emotional, you know.
799
00:35:43,842 --> 00:35:45,110
And usually, in any given year,
800
00:35:45,211 --> 00:35:47,279
you might have, like,
a handful of those.
801
00:35:47,379 --> 00:35:48,947
- Maggie nods her head.
802
00:35:49,047 --> 00:35:50,949
And Duncan closes his eyes.
803
00:35:51,049 --> 00:35:55,120
And she gently slides her blade
up into the back of his skull.
804
00:35:55,221 --> 00:35:57,656
End of act three.
805
00:35:57,756 --> 00:36:00,226
- We have our traditions.
806
00:36:00,326 --> 00:36:04,330
We always try to celebrate
when one of us, you know,
807
00:36:04,430 --> 00:36:06,998
goes off into the world again.
808
00:36:07,098 --> 00:36:09,167
We love you.
809
00:36:09,268 --> 00:36:10,769
- We all had a sense
that, you know,
810
00:36:10,869 --> 00:36:12,471
time was very precious.
811
00:36:12,571 --> 00:36:14,406
- I'm Michael Cudlitz.
- I'm Michael Cudlitz.
812
00:36:14,506 --> 00:36:17,476
I'm Michael Cudlitz.
813
00:36:17,576 --> 00:36:19,645
- And we should invest
as much in each other
814
00:36:19,745 --> 00:36:22,448
because you never knew when
you were gonna lose somebody.
815
00:36:22,548 --> 00:36:24,483
- This is great.
816
00:36:24,583 --> 00:36:27,152
- As time goes on, you
get used to people dying.
817
00:36:27,253 --> 00:36:30,088
But we just find ways to make it
818
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:32,724
ridiculously
celebratory and fun.
819
00:36:34,092 --> 00:36:36,094
- Thank you.
- European.
820
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:38,163
- Yeah, he's European.
821
00:36:38,264 --> 00:36:39,465
- It's special.
822
00:36:39,565 --> 00:36:40,842
Take as many of these
traditions with us
823
00:36:40,866 --> 00:36:42,000
as we can, I think.
824
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:46,938
- It's a beautiful way,
actually, to say goodbye
825
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:50,041
to somebody who's been a part
of the show for a long time.
826
00:36:54,813 --> 00:36:56,448
- You know, everybody
comes here to die.
827
00:36:56,548 --> 00:36:58,293
When I meet somebody,
that's what I say to them.
828
00:36:58,317 --> 00:36:59,718
Everybody comes here to die.
829
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:01,498
And some people would
be, like, horrified.
830
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:03,355
But that's what
our show is about.
831
00:37:10,329 --> 00:37:12,531
- The big departures,
it's always like,
832
00:37:12,631 --> 00:37:15,534
everybody's, like, a
little, like, choked up,
833
00:37:15,634 --> 00:37:17,269
and it's touching.
834
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:23,709
But this time, we had
to wrap the entire cast,
835
00:37:23,809 --> 00:37:27,613
because for everybody, this
was their last episode.
836
00:37:28,747 --> 00:37:30,916
- How are the cast and
you preparing for the end?
837
00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:35,020
Um...
838
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,556
taking a lot of photos, I think.
839
00:37:37,656 --> 00:37:39,891
It's going to be
840
00:37:39,991 --> 00:37:43,028
a mammoth sea of
emotion when it happens.
841
00:37:43,128 --> 00:37:44,830
It's just crazy. Yeah.
842
00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:46,898
But we've done
something great here,
843
00:37:46,998 --> 00:37:50,035
and we've got something
to be so proud of.
844
00:37:50,135 --> 00:37:53,171
And...
845
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:55,674
dang, this has been...
846
00:37:55,774 --> 00:37:57,409
It's one in a million.
847
00:38:06,385 --> 00:38:11,457
- I went to the IMDb
and just scrolled
848
00:38:11,557 --> 00:38:12,791
on and on and on and on,
849
00:38:12,891 --> 00:38:16,862
and there is almost
100 pages here
850
00:38:16,962 --> 00:38:20,566
of cast and crew
over these seasons
851
00:38:20,666 --> 00:38:22,934
that have come
through these doors
852
00:38:23,034 --> 00:38:25,771
to help make this
show come to life.
853
00:38:25,871 --> 00:38:28,774
It's amazing to me to think
854
00:38:28,874 --> 00:38:31,076
that this is what I'm a part of.
855
00:38:32,678 --> 00:38:35,381
And...
856
00:38:35,481 --> 00:38:39,751
we're a part of something
pretty darn incredible.
857
00:38:41,219 --> 00:38:42,654
And I'm grateful.
858
00:38:49,828 --> 00:38:51,763
- I know the product
859
00:38:51,863 --> 00:38:54,232
that we put on
screen is one thing,
860
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:57,302
and that's what connects
so much of the world
861
00:38:57,403 --> 00:39:00,171
to "The Walking
Dead," but for us,
862
00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:03,174
it's these relationships
that we share.
863
00:39:03,274 --> 00:39:04,743
- Pan over there. Over there.
864
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:10,749
- It's been a huge, massive part
865
00:39:10,849 --> 00:39:13,452
of our everyday life.
866
00:39:13,552 --> 00:39:16,588
And that will never
happen again, ever.
867
00:39:16,688 --> 00:39:19,925
That's what I'll miss.
868
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:22,594
- I'm in denial. I'll
be really honest.
869
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:24,539
You know, I'll look at
Norman, and he'll be like,
870
00:39:24,563 --> 00:39:26,364
"It's gonna get sad."
871
00:39:28,133 --> 00:39:30,969
- It's very, um...
872
00:39:31,069 --> 00:39:33,972
surreal to think that
it's all ending now.
873
00:39:34,072 --> 00:39:36,675
- I've definitely had moments
where I'm like, "Oh, wow,
874
00:39:36,775 --> 00:39:40,779
this is the last time this
and that is gonna happen."
875
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:42,548
- I'm nervous about
saying goodbye.
876
00:39:42,648 --> 00:39:43,882
I'm not gonna lie.
877
00:39:47,285 --> 00:39:50,155
- I think I'm just gonna
make an Irish exit.
878
00:39:50,255 --> 00:39:52,724
- I haven't said goodbye
yet, and I don't plan to.
879
00:39:52,824 --> 00:39:55,193
- I'll just dip out.
880
00:39:55,293 --> 00:39:56,795
It'll be too hard.
881
00:39:56,895 --> 00:39:58,630
- So I'm just gonna
kind of walk away,
882
00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:00,666
and then I know I'll
see everybody again,
883
00:40:00,766 --> 00:40:03,469
and we'll just leave it at that.
884
00:40:03,569 --> 00:40:05,737
- Personally, I'm trying
to get as many moments
885
00:40:05,837 --> 00:40:08,874
individually with
people as I can.
886
00:40:08,974 --> 00:40:12,377
I'm trying to not be
fearful about sharing
887
00:40:12,478 --> 00:40:14,913
just how much I love them.
888
00:40:15,013 --> 00:40:18,884
I hope it's not goodbye.
889
00:40:18,984 --> 00:40:21,520
These are my best friends.
890
00:40:23,489 --> 00:40:26,858
- That's a series
wrap on Mr. JDM.
891
00:40:28,359 --> 00:40:29,828
That is a wrap on Khary.
892
00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:33,331
Series wrap on Josh.
893
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,769
Series wrap on Christian.
894
00:40:37,869 --> 00:40:40,572
Mr. Norman Reedus, Daryl.
895
00:40:40,672 --> 00:40:42,340
Series wrap on Melissa.
896
00:40:44,042 --> 00:40:45,410
- Love you guys a lot.
897
00:40:45,511 --> 00:40:47,613
- It was truly an honor
being here with you.
898
00:40:47,713 --> 00:40:50,048
- Thank you. It's really been
899
00:40:50,148 --> 00:40:52,217
one of the best
experiences of my life.
900
00:40:52,317 --> 00:40:53,619
- The one thing we have is that
901
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,186
we were all in the
trenches together.
902
00:40:55,286 --> 00:40:57,523
No one can ever take
that away from us.
903
00:40:57,623 --> 00:40:59,625
- And I won't forget
you. I appreciate you.
904
00:40:59,725 --> 00:41:03,228
- We could lose our
friends, people we love.
905
00:41:03,328 --> 00:41:05,697
It's not about us anymore.
906
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:07,232
It's about a future.
907
00:41:11,637 --> 00:41:14,105
- Do I want the fans to
be happy with the show?
908
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:15,406
Yeah, of course.
909
00:41:15,507 --> 00:41:16,867
The fans and the
cast and the crew
910
00:41:16,908 --> 00:41:18,309
and everybody else
911
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:20,445
has a real relationship
with the outside world
912
00:41:20,546 --> 00:41:22,548
through the show.
913
00:41:22,648 --> 00:41:25,450
You know, the number of families
914
00:41:25,551 --> 00:41:26,752
that have come to me,
915
00:41:26,852 --> 00:41:28,887
thanked me for
playing the character,
916
00:41:28,987 --> 00:41:31,790
how I play the character, and...
917
00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:34,125
Daryl's tough, so it's
helped me get through stuff.
918
00:41:34,225 --> 00:41:37,729
You know, things like that
have meant the world to me.
919
00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:39,765
- It just means so much to us
920
00:41:39,865 --> 00:41:42,901
that people are able
to have that escape.
921
00:41:43,001 --> 00:41:44,636
- There are fans
who tell our actors,
922
00:41:44,736 --> 00:41:47,338
like, this show gave me
923
00:41:47,438 --> 00:41:49,741
something to talk
to my dad about
924
00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:52,778
or it allowed me to
come out to my family.
925
00:41:52,878 --> 00:41:56,314
- I know for me, I
am eternally grateful
926
00:41:56,414 --> 00:41:58,483
to have been a part of it.
927
00:41:58,584 --> 00:42:02,721
That being said, there are
new things on the horizon.
928
00:42:05,624 --> 00:42:07,192
- We loved being on the show.
929
00:42:07,292 --> 00:42:09,027
We loved making the show.
930
00:42:09,127 --> 00:42:11,997
It's been us against
the world down here.
931
00:42:12,097 --> 00:42:15,834
But outside of here, it's
just one big happy family.
931
00:42:16,305 --> 00:43:16,498
