Original subtitles

But what I don't get

is why The Dama treats you like her redheaded stepchild.

I knew our boy was involved

the second he sent the smoke signal.

How are you gonna explain this to Narvaez,

you being the Negan slayer and all?

That man that killed your father, is his name Negan?

I was shocked to hear

when Christos lost it to you in one of your little games.

What if we don't wanna join you?

If what Negan said is true,

we gotta scope it out.

But some churches have secret chambers,

private entrances we can slip in through.

I don't know.

Am I crazy?

Could we actually pull this off with just a dozen of us left?

I think, if they don't know we're coming,

a location's all we need.

Should be a bridge up ahead.

Otherwise, we've taken a wrong turn.

That...

the drawing that you made...

... of the woman.

You said that it was off a billboard or something?

Yeah.

What was it like seeing Negan?

What'd he say to you?

He said that we should leave, that we should go home.

And that's what we're gonna do.

No. Come on, think.

Think.

You've gone that way twice already.

There you go.

New duds.

Dama?

Come in!

Feeble and pathetic. How did this happen?

Our technician abandoned his post,

so we are still trying to ascertain

the reason for the outage.

Don't you see how this makes us look?

As I said, it is being handled.

It better be.

Without the methane, we can forget about

bringing back the city, let alone defending it.

No, no, it was one substation.

We lost power only on 6th Avenue.

I-I think we can be grateful that there wasn't...

Well, the show must go on.

Our forces are almost ready.

All that's left is Christos and his band of savages,

- which... - And then we're done, right?

After Christos, I get my family back.

That was the deal.

"Was" being the operative word.

"Deal" being the operative word.

Y'know, I just hate the idea of you putting in

all this hard work

and missing out on all the fun.

I think you and I have different ideas of what fun is.

Such a shame.

No one ever lives up to the hype.

It is a shame.

See, I'm as good as it gets and I'm all you got.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Christos was always going to be the feisty one.

You get him onboard and we're good.

Pinky swear. Pinky toe swear.

There you go.

I knew you could do it. Aw.

You still hungry?

When we visit Christos,

I will bring the canisters of methane as a gift.

Oh, because that worked so well the last time.

No, Negan goes alone.

Are you sure?

They did not exactly get off on the right foot.

Negan was right to put Christos in his place.

Boundaries were established.

Dicks were measured.

I still think it would make more sense if I were to...

No.

You'll be busy cleaning up your little mess.

And change out of that ridiculous outfit.

You look like a bellhop.

Where's Roksana?

She has been detained as an enemy of the federation.

As soon as she agrees to support us, she'll be released.

You have no authority to detain them.

No, you have no authority.

Put him in the box.

You're arresting me, too? For what?

Treason.

We gave you a hero's welcome when you came home.

And you said you executed the outlaw, Negan.

But you didn't.

You let him walk.

You're wrong.

I was there, and I saw it happen.

He killed him.

Arrest her, too, for bearing false witness...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I let him go.

But you're lucky I did 'cause he's with the Croat now.

He told us where the methane is and he knows a hell of a lot

more than that. He's the only connection we got.

And she's the only one he trusts.

Take the two of them to my quarters.

Narvaez. Narvaez!

Ginny.

Ginny, innocent people...

Did you know you were gonna see him?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I know that you have a gun.

And I had to wonder who it might be for.

He said you know where the methane is.

Where is it?

What happens once I tell you?

Nothing.

Unless you break the law.

I mean, it doesn't matter anyway

'cause you're not gonna like the rest of what Negan had to say.

'Cause even with your soldiers,

and the people that you've got here,

you'll never stand a chance against the Croat.

He's got fifty people, maybe a hundred.

Or you're just saying that because you want me to give up.

Because if I give up, you get to go home, right?

What do you think? Can we trust what Negan says?

- Yes. - Why?

I-I think that he feels he-he owes her.

What about her? Does she feel like she owes him?

What does that matter?

I want you to go to him and offer our surrender.

Under one condition.

You bring Negan and the Croat to the boathouse,

so they can escort our forces,

unmolested, off the island.

So that you can ambush them.

Even if you had Roksana's people,

you really think you can take the Burazi?

No. We don't have to.

You're gonna lead them through the tall grass.

The dead will take care of them. Most of them anyway.

And don't worry, we'll save Negan for you.

And why would I do that?

Because your son will be staying here with us.

Make sure the exhaust isn't blocked.

Think it overheated?

Are you suggesting the compressor failed?

That I made a mistake?

N-no, I-I didn't mean...

How do you think it makes us look that the power is out?

Huh?

How does it make us look?

- Tell me! - I don't...

- I don't... - It makes us look weak.

Do you think I would let that happen?

Something that makes us look weak?

Check the compressors.

You have children?

Three daughters.

They're gonna think I died a traitor.

But I knew this day would come.

You, on the other hand, you've still got options.

You could join New Babylon.

Help Major Narvaez get what she wants.

If you don't, you'll be executed.

And if someone else takes your place,

they'll have to make the same choice.

Either way, you die for nothing.

You know...

I had an uncle, Cyrus.

He had this little yellow bird.

It would go everywhere with him.

And he'd get out this box filled with colorful papers.

On each of them was a riddle. And the bird would hop off,

and go into the box

and pull out one of the papers with its beak.

Whatever it chose, that was the riddle meant for us.

The bird always knew somehow.

When Iraq invaded,

he was conscripted.

Sent to fight in a war he knew nothing about

and had nothing to do with.

I remember the morning he left.

The sun hadn't even come up yet.

That.

That was dying for nothing.

I come bearing gifts.

I got this.

I can see that I'm interrupting dinner,

so I'm gonna cut right to the chase.

I'm here to ask you one last time if you're gonna join us

in the fight against New Babylon.

And you should know that everybody's in, even Bruegel.

You made a big mistake coming here.

You attacked me in front of my men.

And now you're here for what, hmm?

To pressure us, intimidate us?

I told you last time, we are not interested

in what you're selling.

And there's no big fucking speech you can give

that would change our minds.

Look at this thing, no?

You know where you are right now, hmm?

'Cause you're not at your pulpit.

No. You don't have your Burazi,

or your methane torches,

or your bat.

'Cause you're in my house now.

Papa, Papa!

Mila!

Yeah?

You know, I think, uh...

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

I did not realize the situation you were in.

Clearly you have people you are trying to protect,

and that changes things.

I don't wanna do anything that jeopardizes their lives.

Let's just say I, uh...

Let's just say I can relate.

- Let's go. - What are you doing?

If you're going after Narvaez,

they won't stop until they catch you.

They'll kill you and all your people. Your son.

Then I'll make sure they don't catch me.

Maggie! Maggie!

Maggie! Maggie!

You know, after 10, 15 years of scavenging,

there was nothing left.

So when Bruegel started the fights, it just, you know,

it made sense.

If we couldn't scavenge, we could trade.

The more we lost, the more we had to keep playing.

Playing the game, playing his game.

Until we lost everything. Our weapons.

Our food. Our home.

And now you've come here,

and it's not just trade, it's not, it's-it's-

it's going to war.

It's making alliances.

You gotta imagine from where we sit,

it just seems like more rigged games.

I hear you. Honestly, I do.

But you can't sit this one out, man.

You know, you don't wanna help us, that's fine.

But one day, the Croat and all the others,

they will come for you.

And if not them,

then god forbid, it's New Babylon.

Or you fight with us.

The harder you fight, the bigger your seat at the table.

The more you get to decide the way forward.

Now you leave it to the likes of-of Bruegel

and New Babylon,

they're gonna decide for you.

You don't want that.

My apologies for dropping by unannounced.

Hey, so I was just, uh, shootin' the shit

with Christos here. I think we, uh,

we found some common ground.

Common ground cannot exist

when someone has already demolished it.

I never took you for a man who knew a lot or even a little

about circuitry.

I don't know what he's talking about.

You knew that to knock out the fuse box at the substation

would be to knock out 6th Avenue.

I'm impressed.

I don't know what the fuck he's talking about.

I found that under the fuse box.

I imagined you'd want it back.

Listen to me, whatever you are thinking,

no, don't do it.

It's already been done.

Goddammit.

Now obviously, I cannot let this go unpunished.

The gas has been going the whole time.

You have about... 30 seconds remaining.

Now, you listen to me.

Goddammit.

Shit... You asshole...

Ha, ha, ha.

Don't worry, I let the women and children live.

I'm not a monster.

Negan,

they sabotaged our facility.

They put everything at risk, everything we've worked for.

The Dama asked me specifically to...

She asked you to kill them?

So what's the situation with your mom and Negan?

Did he break her heart?

He killed my dad.

- And now they're friends? - No.

But she didn't kill him. Why?

I tried to kill him once.

It was a long time ago.

I didn't set out to do it, it just...

Suddenly the gun was in my hand,

and I was aiming at him.

And then what happened?

I-I missed.

Well, if you couldn't pull it off,

a 12-year-old girl will have to do.

And if she misses, then I'll get the job done.

Ginny, put that gun down.

Ginny, put the gun down!

Hey, can you, uh,

hold up for a second?

Listen.

What's done is done.

And anyways, who gives a shit what the Dama's gonna say?

Look, I hate sounding like a broken record,

but it doesn't sit right with me how she treats you.

She treats her goddamn rat better than she treats you.

She treats the rat better than she treats both of us.

Strokin' it and feelin' it, and lovin' it,

and givin' it a great, big giant maze.

You are building her a methane empire,

and yet that rat gets more respect for what,

sniffin' around, gettin' lucky, finding a half-rotted berry?

Do not sweat the Dama.

All right? I got your back.

I should've stopped her.

From getting caught? From death?

That's how you see it, isn't it? Something to back away from.

It's what gives them power over you.

If you stop fearing what you're so sure are the endings,

you start to see they're also the beginnings.

Be your own little bird. Pick one.

Ah, that's a good one, a hard one.

After years of walking through the woods,

a man comes to a fork in his path.

To go left is to return home, to his past.

It'd be nice, he thinks, to wear his old clothes,

to sleep in his old bed.

But what if nothing's like he remembers?

To go right is to venture into the unknown,

to see what his future holds.

But what if there are hidden pitfalls or bandits?

The man is getting old.

He's got life left in him for one last journey.

Which way does he go?

The bird always knows, I guess.

Or...

... the bird got some help.

We were surrounded the second we got there.

If the Croat hadn't shown up when he had...

Do you think I'm stupid?

I gave you explicit instructions.

I guess I don't understand why this is such a...

I am not speaking to you.

I am speaking to him.

Why do you keep insisting on compromising

every fucking thing I've built?

You've built? What am I?

Just a rat in your fucking maze?

No, worse than the rat.

At least he has a little prize waiting for him.

We'll speak about this

once you've gotten a hold of yourself.

This is your last chance to change your mind.

Anything to say?

Don't be afraid.

I'm not leaving you. I'm joining you.

I'm only going where we're all going,

where we've always been.

I'll see you all very...

Mom! Mom!

Get off me!

Keep them quiet!

Hershel!

Hershel.

That woman that I drew.

She was real.

She was with the Croat.

When I was kidnapped. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I should've.

Did you send the smoke signal?

The one that we found in Bayonne.

Was it you?

Does she have something...

over you?

We just talked mostly.

She was nice.

She wanted to...

to know me.

What did you talk about?

The city.

Her plans for bringing it back.

I guess I found it inspiring.

She wanted me to protect it

from New Babylon.

And she was right about them, you know?

Everything they've done, everything they're about.

It's all like she...

I-I didn't...

I didn't know about all those...

At the docks, I was just gonna come get you and Ginny

and go home, but I didn't. I keep all these...

Seeing all these soldiers crawling out of the water.

I should've known it would happen like that.

All-all those people...

Hey, it's okay.

It's over now.

We're gonna go home now.

Yeah?

It, uh, looks like I'm late to the party.

Dama, I...

I'm ready to speak again.

We have a lot to discuss. We should waste no more time.

Dama?

Dama?

Are you calling the shots now?

You're running the show, is that it?

Is that the message you're trying to send?

Enlighten me, please.

Dama, I-I don't understand.

I pulled you out of the gutter!

I put you back together. I gave you a new life.

And this is how you repay me?

I should've let you fucking die.

I came here to make peace.

You are nothing without me.

You are nothing without me!

I have given you new life!

I have done everything!

All you do is pick and pick and pick

from the comfort of your high throne!

You're an empress with no clothing!

A proud, pathetic little queen!

Help!

Mile!

Mile!

Mile, help me! Get it off!

Please!

Mile!

Help!

Mile!

Mile, please help me! Get me out!

Help me!

Mile!

Dama's dead.

What happens next?

What if I could give you the methane?

Bruegel can't be trusted.

If he is willing to double cross the Croat, why not you?

He's offering me a chance to finish it.

Tell me another way.

What is that?

Close it!
