Thorne, I need to speak
with you privately.

- Let's take a ride.
- Yes, sir.

He told me everything,
gave me the full briefing.

The Echelon Briefing?

The CRM
will bring the world back.

Tell me
you won't come after them.

No. Because we are coming
for them.

We're gonna get the dossier.

He's gonna get
the Echelon Briefing

and find out everything
that they do

that the city
doesn't know about.

We're gonna help the city
stop them.

I remember it all.

What it was like.

Who we were.
Who we are now.

My name is Michonne.

I lost someone.

Years ago.

Both of them have
something I believe the CRM

needs to become
what it needs to be.

People are a resource.

I know how
to build things,

and I know how to burn things,

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

You tried
to escape four times.

Why are you here?

There's someone
you love out there.

Do you still love me?

Always.

It sounds simple, right?

We each go in.
You get the briefing,

I get the dossier
she left behind.

We bring what we know
to the city, then go home.

Together.

It's never that simple.

I'm Sergeant Major
Rick Grimes.

You probably think I'm dead.

He said I didn't need
to be scared,

that it was just "the burning."

You're really here.

Yeah.

You gave them the debrief.
Now tell me what happened.

Well, there was turbulence.

We-- We went low
to get out of it.

- We were struck by lightning.
- Yeah.

We were going down over water,
and Bethune shoved me out.

She saved my life.

Not hers, mine.

So thank you
for bringing her in.

No, you brought her in.

Why don't we just say
it was Okafor?

That we were just keeping
his thing going.

I used to think
that giving up

meant a lack of character

and a-- a weak will.

But you and I, we gave up
so much to be here.

And now I realize that giving up
can be a sign of strength.

A commitment to something
bigger than oneself.

Giving up made me understand
what we're really doing here.

Hopefully,
you will understand, too.

I want to.

I'm glad
you made it, Rick.

You are needed.

It is up to us,
but not like

Okafor said.

Okafor, he...

He was never really here, not in
the way he should have been.

That's why he died.

But you lived.
I lived.

We are meant to be
a part of this.

It's time to let go
of his bullshit.

Well, show me
the other way.

Threat neutralized.

I'm gonna take a sweep
of the perimeter.

He wants to talk to you.

Rick.

This is it.

I never had to do this.

I never had to do my six
for citizenship because I--

I never really became
a citizen.

The end of the world and
the beginning of the world.

And we're
the dead ones, Rick.

We're kind of like them.

But they only kill for food
or out of compulsion.

Isn't that right?
It is.

Our scientists haven't
figured it out.

Maybe they never will.

But us, the other kind of
dead ones,

we have this.

The sword that kills is
the sword that gives life.

And that's us.
We're the sword.

I have my aides and lieutenants
leave me in solitude

the day
before an operation.

I don't like
distractions.

I alone decided
the path ahead,

and I alone want to feel
the weight of it.

I never interrupt
that time.

But you are here.

After everything.

And I am humbled by that.

So, I'll share some time
with you,

maybe even ask you to carry
some of that weight.

Officer Stokes?
Are you in there?

Put your gun on the table.

That prosthetic with the blade.

In front of me.
Away from you.

I want you to reflect
on your life.

On all your lives
before and after.

All the before and afters.

All the things you did
before this moment.

Because...

after this next moment,

everything will change.

What was the worst thing you did

to make sure
someone else survived?

No!

Aah!

I killed someone
with my teeth.

Like they do.

I'm sorry you
had to do that.

Oh, you don't have to be.

Still, it's a damn thing,
isn't it?

Yes.
Yes, it is, sir.

You've made some
extraordinary choices, Grimes.

I've given this briefing,

the Echelon Briefing,
2,533 times.

Just me and the elite soldier
in question.

And the soldier
in question

has never been
someone like you.

Never.

This is the first.

It's the start of what's next.

And that couldn't be
more appropriate for today.

A day completely about...

tomorrow.

I missed you so much.

Words can't even
say it right.

You don't have to.

I know.

Are we crazy?

Certifiable.

I grew up in Pittsburgh.

The same day my alcoholic
father broke my jaw,

I left home and landed
a job at a VFW hall.

Barback.

I was 15.

And those men and women
at the VFW,

they became my real parents.

They were who formed me.

So when I was 18,
I signed up to fight.

I went to Vietnam.

Twice.

But there was a whole journey
beyond that.

Fort Benning,
officer training.

Then the journey led me
back to Pennsylvania,

to its National Guard,
and through its command,

thank God.

I went away.

I had to.

I could've let the world
take me away.

But I came back...

like you.

Copy that, sir.

You said you saw what
the federal forces

did at the beginning.

I did.

They bombed the cities.

Okafor said that they called it
"clearing disease vectors."

"Vectors," yeah.
Their word.

I made the decision
to take them on ourselves.

Second Civil War fought
on good Pennsylvania ground.

There were two fronts--
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

And we were losing.

We couldn't sustain
two theaters of battle.

In my hometown, we had
an opportunity of terrain,

tactics, and a massive
incoming dead mass

that the federal forces
were unaware of.

So, uh, I evacuated our forces
under the cover of night

and let the dead
overwhelm their troops.

And that whole city.

I saved Philadelphia
by sacrificing Pittsburgh.

My enemies, my friends...

my home.

It's not exactly tearing into
a person with your canines,

but it's not nothing.
Isn't that right?

No, it's not nothing, sir.

My dad taught me,
for better or worse...

...sometimes things have to burn
to bring things back.

It was that.

The sword that kills
is the sword that gives life.

I killed my past
and a whole city

so another could live.

Let me tell you
the first secret, Grimes.

The first one that I share
with each Frontliner

I've briefed.

The most likely outcome after
all the fighting and killing,

all the plans
and sacrifices, we lose.

Most likely outcome
is that we're all gonna die.

The CEP overview
will begin imminently.

This is a mandatory briefing.

Please sign for review.

Man #2: Heads up, everyone.
Eyes front.

Man #3: One of the most
sensitive aspects

to Operation N1W is
the Child Evacuation Protocol.

So, we were born this way.

- Aah!
- Aah!

Aah!

I guess so.

We've discovered million-strong
dead masses out there.

Our modeling shows that
non-necrotic human life--

people-- now have 14 or so
years left on this planet.

Could be quicker.

And it isn't just
the delts.

It's starvation--
the tenuous balance

between population
and yield.

Disease, with a billion
petri dishes

out there stumbling
and cooking in the sun,

waiting to transmit
God knows what to us

while it transforms
into God knows what.

And in the end,
the most likely outcome

is that this rock will be
cluttered with corpses

to eventually rot
into food for the trees.

And it all becomes
a strange temporary museum

to an even stranger species
that conquered it

and marked it
for a blink of its existence.

This is why we do
what we do.

What do you do, sir?

We're trying to beat
the odds, Grimes.

Aah!

Man #3: Through CRM Frontliner
embeds living in Portland

under false identities,
we have, over years,

had operatives enmeshed
in the Portland school system

to facilitate an evacuation
of selected children.

The CRM destroys communities
for resources,

for strategic superiority,

and to ensure the city's secrecy
and security above all.

Once the operation
on Portland begins,

children will be airlifted away
from three school sites.

It will result in an evacuation
of possibly 10% of the children

in the city
before the area is gassed

and its population
is liquidated.

We have embeds--spies--

in selected communities
throughout the continent

and the world to monitor them,
to potentially sabotage them,

to influence their politics
and approaches.

Up until recently,
we supplied test subjects

for scientific experiments
to CRM-run labs.

Omaha didn't just die.

We destroyed it,
along with its Campus Colony.

And in 18 hours, we will
take our final action

to leave us as the supreme
force on this continent,

maybe the world.

We will destroy Portland.

We tell the Civic Republic
what the CRM does.

Like the bombing,
whatever else they do.

If we don't, who will?

No one.

You don't leave
people behind.

This is the shit we do.

In response to the loss
of Portland,

our last alliance partner--

which we will report as another
tragic, mysterious,

shocking incident--
the Civic Republic Military

will declare martial law
on the city,

doing away with the Council.

Stakes are too high for freedom.

With the city under CRM control
and our Alliance partners dead,

we will march
across this country

and further eliminate
any growing competition.

We will take their resources
and ensure supremacy.

And maybe...

Maybe we get to survive.

Man #3: Bubble windows
will be in blackout.

The children will not see
or hear

what is happening to the city.

It is critical to remain even,
to be steady,

to not give in to the trauma
the children will experience--

or that the participating forces
will experience.

We'll get back to the Civic
Republic in Jadis's helicopter.

I'll fly us to jump points for
the refuels they won't expect.

Anything changes on base,
key the walkie.

I'll get back to you
when I can.

If I can be
gotten back to.

You expecting a call?

That was Thorne.

She went through this.

Thought it would be good
to talk it out.

Man #3: Soldiers should put
the children's focus

on the comfort items
we'll furnish them with.

Avoid saying,
"It's going to be okay."

Just say "they" will be okay.

Any one of them could prove
to be the difference

in our civilization's survival.

We will, in many ways,
scavenge...

After everything,

after all the escape attempts
to right here, now...

I think that the next leader
in the next decade,

that might be you.

After trying to get away
so many times,

after so many years, you found
yourself free, dead to us.

You could've gone wherever
it was you wanted to go.

And you came back.

You've become a powerful story.

A powerful symbol, one the CRM

may need to tell to
win the hearts of the people

who will see some of their
freedoms delayed yet again.

I sacrificed.
Okafor sacrificed.

I would expect the same for you.

But you said it--
you already have.

Who's the person closest to you
who's died in all of this?

My son.

He's who I saved tearing out
that man's throat.

But you couldn't save him
in the end?

No.

What if I told you you would
never have to suffer

that kind of loss again,

that wherever you were
running to,

whoever you were
running to...

you could keep them safe,
you could bring them to us?

Family, friends, a lov--
I don't give a damn.

They will be spared
from our march,

whenever we would have
found them.

I'll take that chance.

I'm taking that
chance on you.

Portland will die,

and this force will take
over the Civic Republic.

We will begin our march
on the countryside.

The Next World will begin,

and through that, somehow,
some way, we will survive.

We will burn things
to bring things back.

The sword that kills is
the sword that brings life.

Swear on the sword.

Let me ask you a question,
Grimes.

I'm just gonna ask it
and look in your eyes.

Swear on the sword.

Don't let it take.

No.

Why did you come back?!
Aah!

You were gone!
You were dead!

You could've saved whoever
you wanted to

and then saved the world.
Why?

The world
isn't gonna end!

It is! I'm trying
to make sure we don't!

Goddamn Okafor!

I never lost my son.

I lost myself.

He brought me back.
My wife brought me back.

We're the sword
that kills.

We're the sword
that gives life.

One life.
One unstoppable life.

We're not dead.

Aah!

You are.

Thorne?
It's Grimes, over.

Copy. Over.

I got the briefing.
We'll talk later.

Beale went to the woods to be
on his own

before the all-hands, over.

Do you want to meet now?
Over.

No.

Beale gave me
something to do already.

Over.

Damn it.

Got to do it.

Rick!

- We can't go home.
- Not yet.

No.
Do you know what
they're gonna do?

I got the Echelon.
How did you--

They have an entire tent
of bombs out there.

They're evacuating
the kids,

then it's a whole city
of people, Rick.

This is happening now.

We can still get home,
but not yet.

We have to stop them,
because we can stop them.

Is this yours?
Yeah.

What's in it?

What are you
up to, Grimes?

How'd you come up
with this?

Took some inspiration from
the genius known as Nat.

You know, Beale said I could
lead the CRM one day.

Shit.

Guess you were right.

You could do this
all by yourself.

We could just go.

This is--

What we have to do.

What sort of world are
we making for them

if we walk away
from something like this?

You know...

I'm mad at
the time I missed.

Not seeing
our kids growing up.

I know we can't,
but I just...

I think about that time
and...

I just want to go back.

We are back.

And this is
the shit we do.

Yes, it is.

Grimes?

All-hands briefing in 10.
Squad assignments posted.

All-hands briefing in 10.
Squad assignments posted.

...after final intelligence...

...Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...

...confirmed at squad level.

Confirmed at squad level.

This is it.
Yeah.

This is the last
we're apart.

I should be scared.

Just standing here,
I should scared, but I'm not.

Because of you.

I forgot.

I have something for you.

But if I argue for her, they'll
think I'm emotional, indebted.

You gotta make sure
she stays.

I put my neck out for her.
For you.

We need to take
care of this.

She's not gone.

Hey!

Hands!

Hands!

Where's Beale?

I know you lied to me.

What did you do?

Rick.

Dana.

Thorne.

Take off your helmets.

Put your bag down.

You are going to turn around,
you are going to go back inside,

and you are going to undo
whatever you did.

And when I find Beale,
you're going to regret this.

Keep going!

You're going to fix this.

It never died.

It won't stop.
It can't stop.

This way!

Pull the flag
down over us!

Just a little longer.

It breaks up quick.

Grimes!

There's Thorne.

She's got a mask.

I'll rush her.
You get the other mask.

Why you?

- You got the sword.
- We go?

We go.

You-- You destroyed
our chance!

You destroyed
the whole world!

You were the one he was
always trying to get to.

How did you get to him?

I didn't give up.

I didn't give me up
like you did!

Where is he?!

Where is he?!

Turn around.

You don't understand.

In a dead world,
love is dead!

Love doesn't die.

Watch.

Love...

doesn't...

die!

Okafor was right.

He was right.

You just have to hope
Beale was wrong.

Come on!
Come on!

...N1W.

With the CRM's Frontliner force
and the CRM Force Command--

including Major General
Johnathan Beale--

all casualties of the incident
connected

with the shocking revelations

regarding all their operations
and activities,

the CRC voted unanimously
for emergency oversight

over the remaining forces
of the CRM.

Command hierarchies and
layers of operational secrecy

indicate infantry
and enhanced infantry units

were unaware of and did not
participate in the atrocities

perpetrated by these
highest levels of the CRM,

thus presenting hope
for immediate reform.

And in another stunning,
unanimous vote by the CRC,

overturning more than a decade
of CRM guidance,

free movement has been
established for the Republic.

Citizens are now free
to leave at will,

and the city will now
welcome new citizens,

as they may arrive.

A historic day to begin a new
chapter for the Republic.

Shoto?
It's Daito.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi. Hi.

How are you doing?
Oh, my. You're so big.

Hi there.

I knew it, Dad.

I knew you were
still out there.

I just never wanted you
to feel alone.

I thought I was.

Then I realized...

...I wasn't.

You got him back.

You told me to.

You're the brave man?

I am.

He is.

But maybe you can
call me Dad.

I knew you'd come back.

How?

I believed.

We tell the Civic Republic

what the CRM does,

like the bombing,
whatever else they do.

If we don't, who will?

No one.

At the start
of this episode,

Rick and Michonne
couldn't be closer,

and it's just everything
coming together

towards a final reckoning.

What we need to do
is find out

what the CRM
have been doing,

and also destroy
the information

that Jadis has
by Alexandria.

So there are these two
conflicting plot lines

that are happening
simultaneously.

The world that we were
finding ourselves in

has been hinted at.

We're talking five, six years

of leaving breadcrumbs

to see it all come
together like this.

It's incredibly satisfying.
It's crazy.

I saved Philadelphia

by sacrificing Pittsburgh.

My enemies, my friends,

my home.

Beale made his own sacrifice.

That, I think, instilled
a real pragmatism to Beale,

to do what he had to do
to bring the world back.

And this is
where we find out

that one man's vision
for the future

is despotic and wrong.

What they're about
to do at Portland

is to pretty much gas everybody

and most of the children
as well.

And it's born out of an idea

that happened in
season two with Shane.

I'm sorry.

Basically, it's about
pruning the weak.

This is the only way
that you survive in this world.

It's not natural selection,
it's artificial selection.

I think that the next leader

in the next decade,
that might be you.

Beale detects that Rick
can't go along with him

before Rick says anything.

We're not dead.

Agh!

You are.

The architect of this
appalling dictatorship is dead.

There's a power vacuum now,
and Thorne will take it.

Unless Rick deals
with this thing.

And then also the front liners,

they have to get rid
of this army of 3,000.

We can still get home,
but not yet.

We have to stop them.

They both have
the same instincts

in that last episode.

They're both, like,

right on par
with each other.

If they look to the left
or the right,

they're right next
to each other.

They just have
this compatibility,

and they both fit
into this realm

where they are driven
in the exact same way

and will go
the exact same lengths

that most people would not go.

Hands!

Rick and Thorne

are kind of mirror images
of each other.

They've had a similar journey,

but Thorne and Michonne are,

you know,
even more mirror images

'cause Thorne gave up,
Michonne never gave up.

In a dead world,
love is dead.

Maybe in another life they
would maybe have been friends.

But in terms of
Michonne's state of mind,

Thorne is just a part
of something

that Michonne wants removed.

These are two people
that were separated by time

and space and circumstance

in a world where it's impossible
to go a few miles

without experiencing danger.

And they found each other.

She knew, she said,
"I just kept feeling

that you were still out
there needing help, needing me."

And he was.
That type of connection

that just never died
between them is epic.

You're not stuck anywhere.

I'm not stuck either.

We can make this whole
damn world ours if we want to.

What Danai
and myself and Scott

and all the people involved
in the writers room

wanted to do is to give a story
that felt complete,

that was heightened,

that each episode
felt like its own kind of film.

When I woke up
in the hospital bed

all those years ago.

It's one continuous story

that began with a man waking up

three weeks
into the apocalypse,

half dead,
looking for his family.

And his family obviously became
this apocalyptic family,

the people that they collect
along the way.

And I wanted the reunion.

And then I love a
"Shawshank Redemption" finish,

which is get them together,
see the emotion,

and then pull away
into a God's eye view.

That last image is
the visual expression of them

making the whole world theirs
if they want to.

And they did.

I knew it, Dad.

I knew you were still out there.
