[NEGAN] Previously on Dead City...

I'm a New Babylon marshal.
Have you seen this man?

[GRUNTING]

You're the last person
that I wanted to ask for help.

They took your kid.

[MAGGIE] The man who's got Hershel,

they call him the Croat.

I tracked him all the way
up to Manhattan.

Manhattan was one of the epicenters.

Military destroyed all
the bridges and tunnels

hoping to contain it.

Death is the most abundant resource.

As the bodies break down,
they produce methane.

Hey, when this is over,

will you look after Ginny for me?

I killed your dad.

Found this in one of those
tourist shops,

I thought maybe you could
give it to Hershel.

[THE CROAT] He needed a little push...

Mom!

But you brought him home.

[HERSHEL] You're obsessed with
Negan, with what he did.

[MAGGIE] That is not true!

But you never see me.

There are others.

If we could unite them,
we'll be indomitable.

[NEGAN] Why would I help you?

[THE DAMA] My former guest
and I had a lot of talks.

I eventually let him go
in exchange for you.

But I kept a little piece of him

and I can always go back for more.

[MAGGIE] Wait...

Overhand, remember?

It's more accurate. More spin.

It's okay. You'll get it. Okay.

You get scraped by the brambles?

I'm fine.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[SOFT MUSIC]

[FIRE CRACKLING]

You sure about this?

Casey wanted a desk for her room
and I don't use it anymore, so.

All right.

Probably got some old clothes
you can donate to her brothers.

[SIGHS]

Looks like you outgrew
the corduroy jacket.

Sure. Take it.

Actually, I'm feeling kinda tired.

Maybe we can take it down
tomorrow or something.

Of course.

Our signal.

When you were little,
in case we got separated,

so I'd know that you were okay.

Do you remember how it started?

You were five or six.

We were on the road, camping
just north of Charleston.

I woke up, heard feet crunching
on leaves outside.

Then I noticed your blanket was empty.

So I got up, pulled my knife out,

started toward the sound.

Then all of a sudden,
this creature came running

from behind the bushes.

And a little voice said,

"Look, Mom! I got it".

And you had your hands cupped together,

and you opened 'em up to show me...

A lightning bug.

[MAGGIE] Yeah, a lightning bug.

[SOFT MUSIC]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

You got any leftovers?

What's in it for me?

Well, what's in it for you is

you don't have to eat
a plate of cockroaches.

Or I can trade you for this

lovely bucket of
my very own piss and shit.

Yeah. I uh... I have had
my eye on that bucket

for the past couple of months.

I know you have.

But, I think I'll hold out
for that ratty blanket.

Thank you.

You said a year ago that

I would be beggin' for cockroaches.

Christ.

How's it looking?

[PLUCKING STRINGS]

[PLAYING LIGHT MUSIC]

[DOOR OPENS]

Unlock it.

It pains me to see you like this.

Time has run out, Negan.

She's going to talk,

and you need to listen now.

Are you ready to listen?

What about the boy?

You know, I have been thinking
about that myself.

You see, he is home. He's safe.

And in order to get to him,

you would have to go through his mom.

Who, I'm not sure
that if you recall, but,

she is a mama bear

that would tear out your throat
with her teeth

right after she gutted you
with her claws.

Yeah, that's what I've been
thinking about.

Hey, don't you worry about me. I'm good.

Look at this. I got this nice bed.

I got a private toilet. Gourmet meals.

Mm, it's just how I like it,

crunchy on the outside
and soft in the middle.

In that case,

I fear things will have to escalate.

[CREEPY MUSIC]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[WALKERS GROWLING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[ENGINES RUMBLING]

We need to get back.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

If y'all don't remember me
from admission day,

I'm Charlie Byrd,

governor of The New Babylon Federation.

Your governor.

I could ramble on, but,

I got a feeling you'd
rather hear from someone

whose reputation precedes him,

a man who traveled to a distant land,

made huge discoveries.
And as if that weren't enough,

tracked down the notorious
outlaw, Negan,

and brought him to justice.

Thank you, Governor.

Looking around today,
I think it's fair to say,

we're no longer just lucky to be alive.

We're living.

Getting back what we lost.

But our work isn't done.

There was a place once.

Full of so many buildings,
so packed together,

you could barely see
where the sky started.

A strategic port.

The center of music,

food, art,

and commerce.

A city that announced
to the world, we are here.

Humanity is here.

All that's left today are
crumbling buildings

and a million dead souls.

It's been overrun by lawless barbarians.

So what's our interest in it?
Why would we go there?

To bring it back. It's not too late.

Manhattan can once again
inspire and spread hope,

and serve as a bastion for civilization.

Now, look... I'm not gonna lie,
it's not gonna be easy.

Which is why we've been going
from town to town,

drafting soldiers for an
exploratory mission,

as is the federation's right by treaty.

You're scared. I get it.

But look, this is a fight.

This is a mission worth fighting...

[CROWD GRUMBLING]

Go! Ginny.

[MUSIC]

State your name and town.

Jason Ornell. Madgeburg.

State your crime.

[MUSIC]

After arrival at Madgeburg, Mr. Ornell

chose to shamefully flee

rather than face conscription.

He was apprehended in the forest.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Code 52, section 8.

"Refusal or evasion of registration

into the armed forces
of The New Babylon Federation

shall be punishable
by public execution".

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[ENGINE STOPS]

Our eyes and ears on the mainland

have intercepted messages
between the colonies.

There is to be an exploratory mission

followed by a massive land invasion,

so we must be ready
with an army of our own.

To that end,

uptown is controlled by three groups.

They are ferocious and territorial.

And the park sits between them,

acting like a buffer.

No man's land.

Yeah, because no man comes out alive.

If we can form an alliance,

bring everyone onto our side,

then New Babylon won't stand a chance.

Now, the groups interface once a month,

at this plaza for a form
of street trade.

Gambling on sport.

Got your own farmer's market.

Yeah.

It was a brainchild
of a man named Bruegel.

And unsurprisingly, he has accumulated

a good deal of wealth
from this, this trade,

weapons and food, armor, shelter.

He's a snake, snake charmer.

Silver-tongued...

Well...

The next meeting is tonight.

I've invited them
to the church afterwards

for a little nightcap.

My overtures have gotten us
as far as they can go.

What's required now is leadership.

Inspire them.

Manipulate.

Terrorize.

Put on a show.

Whatever it takes to get them on board.

Is it to your liking?

You're a gin man, right?

I am, indeed.

Here's the thing, I...

I feel like we had this conversation

a couple of months ago.

My answer's still the same.

Hell no.

[SOFT MUSIC]

You yourself have seen

what New Babylon is capable of.

As Dama says,

we have been given a gift.

The old world, it was a place
of suffering and injustice, yes.

But our past has been erased.

With the methane,

we can bring the city back

in wondrous new ways.

A church can be a power plant.

A gym teacher can command an army.

This is a little too fancy for my taste.

But I do appreciate the gesture.

You know, when our people
were out searching for you,

they heard whispers
of a settlement in Tennessee

that was home to a woman and child.

Annie and Joshua, if I'm not mistaken.

Their wagon train was meant
for Missouri, as you know,

considering you yourself
paid the driver.

But a flooded Mississippi
rerouted them to Memphis.

I hate spoiling the surprise,

but now that they're
en route to the island,

I suppose you'd want to
make your preparations.

[MUSIC]

[TIM] At least with Manhattan,
there's a chance.

- We don't know for sure...
- No.

No, it's a death sentence either way.

Anyone they take to Manhattan,
we'll never see them again.

[PIERCE] It was the capital
of the old world.

Home to museums, theaters, churches.

Avenues as wide and open
as a prairie plain.

And will all soon be restored
just as sublime as it once was.

[CHUCKLES]

Excuse me?

Nothing. It's just everything
you're saying is total bullshit.

Well, considering I've spent
years poring over old textbooks,

maps and periodicals,

I would think that what I'm
saying is not total bullshit.

But you haven't been there.

Wait, you've... What's it...

It's full of walkers.

More than you've ever seen before.

And... and those museums and churches,

they've all been looted or blown up.

There's this one bridge,
high up between the buildings,

it started to fall, but
then it caught itself

and got all twisted, so it's like uh...

Here, I'll show you.

[MUSIC]

It's better now than it ever was.

Can I keep this?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Why don't we pick this up after dinner?

[ARMSTRONG] So that's your son.

That's my son.

It's been a while.

Yeah. Congratulations, by the way.

Tracking down the
notorious outlaw, Negan,

and shooting him dead.

I only said that to protect him.

Where is he? What happened to him?

Still on the island for all I know.

What do you want?

I'm gonna recommend your conscription.

I think you could be an asset
to the mission.

You've been there.

You got your son back from the Croat.

You know his weaknesses,
how he operates.

You've got it all figured out, I guess.

I know how you feel about New Babylon.

- I've got my doubts, too.
- Why now?

Why all of a sudden do you wanna
bring back Manhattan?

You want the methane.

I've seen the moths.
You're running out of ethanol.

They've spread all over the south.

Laying eggs in the corn,
rotting it from the inside.

We can survive without it.

New Babylon can't,
which is just fine by me.

It's true.

If we can take over their
methane operation,

it's ready to go, practically unlimited.

It'll fuel power grids.

Give us back technology and medicine.

People wouldn't have to die
of infection or the flu.

And I'm not just talking
about my people.

Your people.

Everyone.

But if we don't get that methane,

if New Babylon falls,

we've lost too much.

Why would we put ourselves
through that again?

We're in this together.

Are we?

Where's your wife then?
Where are your daughters?

Why aren't they coming to Manhattan?

Exploratory mission, huh?

'Cause we're just the first
wave, the conscripts,

just a bunch of fucking guinea pigs.

I'll remind you that you're
treaty-bound members

- of the federation...
- Which you forced us into,

cut off all of our trading partners...

Even if you can't see it's in
your interest as much as mine...

- Not that I voted for it...
- You're coming.

- Is that right, Marshal?
- Colonel. It's Colonel now.

If I'm treaty bound,
then it'd be my duty

to inform your superiors what
really happened to Negan.

[MUSIC]

If I come to the island,

no one else from the Bricks gets
drafted that doesn't want to.

I'd have to sell it to the governor.

Get selling.

[MUSIC]

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned...

And sinned, and sinned, and sinned.

[LAUGHS]

I'm sorry your wife and son
got dragged into this.

But think of it as less a threat
to your family and more a

chance to welcome them
into our larger family, huh?

Hey...

I have a surprise for you.

Huh?

Just like the original Lucille.

Although I have added some,
shall we say, improvements.

I understand.

After a long break,

when a performer takes the stage again,

he wants to try out new material.

But in the end,

all the audience really wants
are the greatest hits.

We have to go. It's time.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[CROWD CHEERING]

Goddamn, farmer's market.

[CROWD SCREAMING]

No! Get up!

[CROWD CHEERING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Major Narvaez,

I read that Manhattan's power
grid was run underground

after the blizzard of 1888.

Which means that it's probably
survived the destruction

of the city.

I'm getting ahead of myself,
but is it possible...

Don't you have some journaling to do?

She's just jealous, Mr. Pierce.

The history you'll be
recording along the way,

the tales of discovery and glory,

they'll be our biggest victory of all.

Speaking of which...

Only to be smoked in celebration

when we get what we're after.

Have you given any thought
to what we talked about earlier?

[NARVAEZ] That Bricks woman?

Is she really that important?

She's the woman I met on the island.

She single-handedly rescued
her son from the Croat.

So let's just draft her.

We could try.

Over her dead body, as she put it.

Either we bring her
on incentivized alive,

or we throw away yet
another opportunity.

By my count, we have 20
able-bodied soldiers here.

Is this woman worth 20 soldiers?

I think she is.

So then let her prove it.

I think that's smart.

We'll conduct an assessment
of the woman.

Why does it have to be you?

Because that's the only way
that this works.

Yeah, but you didn't try
to find another way.

You just...

It's almost like you wanna go.

I don't wanna go.

I'm doing it for you, for the Bricks.

Hersh... Hershel.

[TENSE MUSIC]

No, no, no.

If you plan on taking the place
of 20 conscripts on the island,

it won't be soldiers you'll be fighting.

[CLAPS]

[WALKERS GROWLING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I only just found out.

Anyone intending to enlist,
step up to the corral.

[MUSIC]

Ginny, you're not going in there.

Wait, hold on. We can't...

- What's the problem?
- She's just a kid.

And kids can't fight?

This isn't what we decided.

No one gets drafted involuntarily.

That was the deal.

[WALKERS GROWLING]

Don't make me say it again.

Please.

[MUSIC]

No, Ginny! I said...

Goddammit.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[WALKERS GROWLING]

[GRUNTING]

[BANGING ON FLOOR]

[ORGAN MUSIC BLARING]

[MUSIC STOPS]

Thank you all for coming.

From what I gather,
y'all hate each other's guts.

I gotta say, I get it.

I just walked in the door

and I already hate your guts.

And yet, here we are,

all together in God's house.

I gotta say, I was a little
surprised that nobody got...

I don't know, struck by lightning,

or burst into flames.

I mean, after all, we are the
walking manifestation of sin.

But here's the thing.

Why bring this motley group
of shitheads together?

I mean, what is the fucking point?

Anybody recognize this?

It's a badge.

A lawman's badge.

Do you remember the law?

I mean, I know it's been a minute.

From The New Babylon Federation.

See, I got this badge

when the asshat that was
chasing me down lost it.

That is correct. I was
once a wanted man.

[CHUCKLES]

Lawman chased me down, so I came here.

I came here because I hear
this island's got no laws.

Got that right, bitch.

[NEGAN CHUCKLES]

[NEGAN] The question is,
are you gonna keep it that way?

You see, where this badge came from,

there's a hell of a lot more of 'em.

And they are coming here
right now as we speak.

See, New Babylon,
they found out about your

kick-ass, bad-ass way of life.

And to them, that's a problem.

For New Babylon, the solution
to that problem is their laws.

So you join us,

you put aside your differences,

and we fight.

We keep New Babylon...

♪ Kumbaya, my Lord Kumbaya ♪

And you are?

[CLEARS THROAT] Christos.

Christos? Christos. Very cool name.

Here's the deal, Christos,
I'm wondering if we can save

the Q and A until...
I don't know, afterwards.

What if we don't wanna join you?

[CROWD] Yeah.

[CHRISTOS] Hmm?

What if we don't want to uh,
put aside our differences?

[CROWD] Yeah.

Why don't we all just take a breath?

What if we like things
just the way they are?

[CROWD AGREEING]

And we don't give a fuck about
someone else's problem.

[CROWD] Yes!

Hmm?

Now I don't know what
the old lady was hoping for,

but there is no way
I am bending the knee

to some skinny fucking
bitch-ass old man.

[CROWD SHOUTING]

Who's come here out of fucking nowhere

thinking he can sell us
on some bullshit!

[CROWD AGREEING]

'Cause if we're fighting,
I think we know whose ass

we're fucking up.

[CROWD SHOUTING]

Damn right! Damn right!

[BANGING BAT]

This is my fault. It is.

I'm gonna take all the blame for it,

but I think we're having a little bit

of a misunderstanding.

I am not asking for any kumbaya.

You see, I am not a preacher.

And you sure as shit
ain't no congregation.

But you are gonna fight.

And not for the common good.

I could give a rat's ass
about the common good.

No, you are gonna fight...

You're gonna fight because I say so.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Get that fucking thing out of my face.

Nah.

Get that fuckin' thing...

[CHUCKLES]

Methane...

We got it. You don't.

We got the bright lights, the cool cars,

the awesome weapons. We got bombs.

You see, power,

equals power.

It's as simple as that.

So if you ain't with us...

I guess you're in for a bit of a shock.

So why don't y'all talk
amongst yourselves.

Think about it.

But do me a favor, yeah?

Don't think too hard.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[ELECTRICITY HUMMING]

[BLADE CLANGS]

I need my compass.

[HERSHEL] Why? What's going on?

She thinks she's coming
to Manhattan and she's not.

The three of us,

we know what it means to go back there.

I'm worried about you.

Okay?

I made him a promise.

I swore that I would look out for you.

Is this about Negan?
Is that why you wanna go?

- I can't let you.
- You're not my mother.

You're not anything to me.

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

- I'm going, too.
- What are you talking about?

[HERSHEL] I'm coming with you.

- No.
- Ginny can go, but I can't?

[MAGGIE] Yeah, because you're my son.

And, I'm only going because I have to.

Or maybe you're going for him, too.

What is it 'cause you feel bad?

You feel guilty 'cause
you left him there?

What are you talking about?

Or is it still about everything
from before?

I mean, I thought we were past that.

I thought we finished it.

That's what you said, it was finished!

I thought we were getting better,

but you just keep holding on.

This has nothing to do with Negan.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you wanna go back?

After everything that happened?

Why?

You went through my things?

What do these mean to you?

Nothing.

Did something happen to you there?

Other than being kidnapped?

Does the city have some
kind of pull on you?

No.

Who is this woman?

I don't know.

I saw her face on some billboard
or something.

I'm not lying, Mom.
They're just drawings.

I don't wanna be apart.

I just...

I don't want you to go.

[SOFT MUSIC]

You know, I...

I didn't... I didn't know my mom.

I mean, not for very long
and not very well.

By the time I got things right
with my dad,

I was all grown up.

And I had my own life.

[SOFT MUSIC]

All I'm trying to say

is that these last few months with you

have meant the world to me.

And it's like you said,

we're finally getting better.

We're finally moving past...

all of it.

That's why I have to go,
so that you don't have to.

So I can protect what we have here.

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna come right back.

And we are gonna pick up
right where we left off.

Okay?

Okay.

This has nothing to do with Negan.

When we came to the end of season one,

Maggie had made a promise to Hershel

that we were going to put
the past behind us

and find a way to move on
and heal all these things

that had come before.

And pretty early on, when
we see the characters again,

we're going to see this promise
already challenged in a big way.

Hershel's relationship with his mother

is a very complicated one.

The fact that his mother
is always obsessed

with his father's murderer

and also not willing
to kill his father's murderer.

I think that is a huge issue for him.

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna come right back,

and we are gonna pick up
right where we left off.

Okay.

I think she's just sort
of desperately trying

to erase all the trauma,

everything that's kind of
gotten in the way

and trying to tell herself,

"This is home, and we're okay,
and everything's gonna be okay".

She's trying to create a kind
of sense of family and home,

and being there for Ginny too.

What's primarily motivating Maggie

this year is to try
to hold on to something

that she owes her son
and promised her son

while navigating the kind of challenges

that we know come up in this show.

- Aah!

Initially, when we meet
Negan, he's in the cell.

I think on some level, he's like,

"This is where I want to be.
This is where I should be".

You know, he's got his
[BLEEP] pot, he's got his bed,

he's got his cockroaches.

Got any leftovers?

Uh, yeah, I got the cockroaches again.

Here's the deal.

Uh, eating a plate of cockroaches

when you're blind and your character

doesn't get to wear glasses
is a problem.

And they were like, "Oh, Jeff,
this one's, like, filled...

This is like a chocolate thing,
and this one's filled

with, like, uh, custard or something".

Mikey said, "James, I really need you

to make a very overloaded,

juicy roach for Jeffrey. Just one".

Well, y-y... yes, I did
tell James Rosenthal

to make an extra juicy cockroach

'cause I wanted to see
it shoot out of his mouth.

And I kept eating these
[BLEEP] things and going,

"That's not chocolate".

And, you know, he's
a good friend of mine,

so you got to [BLEEP] around
a little bit, right?

Um, no one told me that half
the plate was real cockroaches.

[MUNCHES]

Oh. Just how I like it.

And so I probably ate
10 to 20 real cockroaches before

I even found out there was
real cockroaches on the plate.

Yeah. So I put one in my mouth,
too, and it was disgusting,

but, you know - but they are baked

and cooked, and they are edible.

And in other places of the
world, they eat cockroaches.

I'm like, I can't... You guys, it's just

like a [BLEEP] brown thumb to me.

"I'm gonna eat it".

that was home to a woman and child.

Annie and Joshua, if I'm not mistaken.

You know, the one thing
that Negan has done,

and the only reason that I'm
still wearing the leather jacket

is because that
he has continued to evolve.

And I think that this season,

Negan finds himself
in a bit of a predicament

that he's certainly never been in.

I think he's being used, and
he knows he's being used.

But Negan is always
kind of a step ahead.

He knows what's going on.

So, for him, it's about pulling
off the biggest scam of his life

to keep his family alive.

So watching him figure out
how to get ahead in the game

has been an interesting story this year.

I knew that this season
was going to be a season

where the old Negan
comes back, in all ways,

so he couldn't have come
back without Lucille.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]

We wanted to give it something
new, a new layer there,

and if it was a bat
that could be electrified

with the barbed wire,
and our props department,

they made it believable and real,

and they figured out
the sort of technology

and science behind it.

This is Lucille 2.0.

Takes me about four hours
to build one of these.

I'm happy if Jeffrey loves it.

He doesn't like to be
separated from it, seriously.

I don't let go of it between takes.

So there are people who always rush up,

"Jeff, can we take Lucille?"
"No, I got it".

I've never had a prop
in my life as an actor

that felt so innately mine

and feels like an extension
of the character.

And I think, for so long,

we have kind of pushed away that Negan.

So to come back to that,
one, it felt like I was home,

but it felt like a very good
reason to be at home

and to have her back.

And me personally, I adore her.

I mean, I got a tattoo this
year, and it says "Lucille".

Um, and it helps that
my wife played Lucille,

but really, it's the bat.

[LAUGHS]

Season two, fans can look
forward to a lot more New York.

We're gonna be moving
north, into Midtown.

I am excited always
to continue this story

of the two characters that
we've known for so long

and finding a way to continue
the story in an original manner

and dig deeper into the issues
that they have with each other

and survival and all of it.

The thing I'm most excited
about for this season

is for everyone to see what we've done.

I'm just, like, really
humbled and grateful.
