You like you're not a... What

the hell do you unlock?

Just tell us where we can find Morgan Jones.

Where's the place he set up?

Is that a kick?

He is strong.

Ray, do you hear me?

These contractions, I think they're getting closer.

And it was perfect

Is he sleeping in a walker zone?

I'm not so sure.

Where'd you learn to fight like that?

My dad taught me.

He's gonna kill me.

I'm not supposed to be outside the wall alone.

We gotta move.

There's a clinic where I live.

The doctor can check you out. Maybe you hit your head or something.

What's your name?

Athena.

Athena?

Like the Greek goddess?

My mom gave it to me because she thought it would make me strong.

What's your name?

I... Come on.

Better get you to the clinic.

Come on, lady.

Let's go.

Right there.

That's where I live.

Impossible.

How long have you been here?

I think I was born.

How old are you?

Sixteen. Why?

We only just bought this place a few months ago.

Hey, Max.

Let us in.

Come on.

Let us in, Max.

What the hell, Athena?

Remember what happened last time you snuck out?

I know, but if I hadn't snuck out this time, she'd be positive by now.

She needs to see the doc.

Come on, if you just let me in, my dad won't even know I was gone.

You okay?

What the hell were you thinking?

Papa G, I'm okay.

I don't think she is.

Morgan?

You met before?

Save the introductions for inside.

Come on inside.

Go find the doctor. Come check on him.

And we will talk later about how you're going to muck out the stables for the

next month. You hear me?

Are you okay?

It's everything you wanted it to be.

You really don't recognize me?

I'm sorry.

My memory is not what it used to be.

Morgan, it's me.

It's Grace.

How do you know about her?

Because I am her.

Why can't you see that?

I don't know what you're trying to do here, but you need to stop... Morgan, I

swear it's me.

The last thing I remember is leaving this place with you.

To go to the hospital June was building.

But this place, it... It was different.

If it's not me.

How would I know that we rode on a carousel in a shopping mall?

Or that you and Dwayne used to race cars together?

Morgan, it's me.

Grace.

Yes.

Yeah, this is impossible.

You can't be here.

Why?

Are you sure it's me?

I buried you myself.

How did I die?

Baby, labor took a lot out of you, and the radiation made you sicker than we

thought, and it was...

Sorry, I tried to do everything I could for you.

And my baby?

Is he... Did he make it?

She... And she did.

You've already met her.

I should have known.

Is she okay?

Mm -hmm.

I had so much time reading about how it could all go wrong because of what

happened to me.

How the pregnancy wouldn't last.

How babies could absorb the radiation from their mothers. She's fine.

Trust me.

Before you passed, Grace, you said you had one wish.

That you wanted to know what Athena would be like when she grew up.

I don't know, but maybe that's why you're here.

People don't get what they wish for.

Sometimes things happen that you just can't explain.

She would love to meet you properly.

I can't.

We can't.

We don't even know what this is, Morgan. She asks about you.

There's only so much I know, so there's only so much that I can tell us.

I know.

But I think we should hold off from telling her.

At least until we know what's going on.

I'm trying to scare her, Morgan.

Usually I try to keep people out of the grave.

I was just giving her the walk around.

This is Dr. Dory.

Doctor. Well, self -taught. I was a nurse before.

He insisted on the title change.

Athena told me what happened.

Take a look.

Doesn't look like you have a concussion.

Or any sign of brain injury. What's the last thing you remember?

Traveling on the road with someone.

And then...

Then it just starts to get a bit fuzzy.

Okay. You'll stay here. You get some rest.

Maybe some things will start to come back to you.

Give me that water.

And keep her hydrated. This is Charlie, my apprentice.

Charlie. My parents thought they were having a boy.

So did I.

It's gonna feel like a lot of things have changed.

Daniel? You don't happen to be of Arbor, do you?

I'm getting too old for this. We all are.

Maybe the next tray you bring him will actually be able to give a decent

haircut.

You're always complaining, Victor. Are they actually... Friends? Yeah,

like that. Dwight, how's the Harvard doing?

Good. It'll be ready by next week.

Hey.

Easy with that.

We're going to stop.

More of a hell raiser than I was at his age. I don't know about that, Dee.

Morgan, did you get the tomato seeds?

Now's the time to plant them.

Oh, yeah, I will stop up at the seed store on my run this afternoon.

Oh, sorry, that's, um... Hey, I'm Dwight. Uh, Sherry.

And this is Tina.

And the boy over there, that's John.

So nice to see such a happy family living here.

We got lucky.

Hey, don't forget those seeds. Seeds.

Come on, bud.

When did they get back together?

Not long after Athena was born.

And Alicia?

Al, everyone else?

Alicia's running her place of her own.

She fixed up the burnout stadium that she lived at with her mom, and Luciana

Wes went with her.

Al, well, Al left a while ago.

She said she was chasing a story, but we all think, well, she was chasing with

somebody.

What?

You know, I never did tell you this from before, but I didn't think this was

going to work.

I wanted to believe like you did.

But after the way we all fell out with each other and what we were facing, I

didn't think it would happen.

How'd you do it?

What brought everyone together?

We were struggling.

We didn't know who was painting the graffiti or what they would do to us. We

couldn't even agree with each other how to face them.

And then... Then you had Athena.

And we lost you.

Everybody forgot the differences and rallied around that child.

They still do.

I'm just sorry that you didn't live long enough to see it happen.

Me too.

I think there's a way that you can get to Noah without having to explain what's

going on.

I do.

Athena?

Athena, want to go on a run?

I know what you're doing, Babaji.

Yeah? You think if you take me to the feed store every once in a while, I

sneak out anymore.

And you think it'll work?

In dreams?

Laurie Everson.

That's what you're singing, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Never knew what it was called.

I never go anywhere without it.

Even though my dad says it's not safe to listen to out here.

Can I see it? No.

I don't want anyone else to listen to it.

My mom, she wanted me to have it.

It's the only thing I've left from her.

Maybe not.

What does that mean?

Hold up. What? What is it? Eyes and ears.

Athena, wait right there.

Why is there a car here?

Remember those people I told you about, the ones who attacked us just before you

were born?

They used to leave messages like that.

And we need to get back and warn everybody.

Morgan.

I've seen this before.

They used to be all over this area. You probably saw something like it a long

time ago.

No.

No, I've seen this before.

The car.

Signs.

You were there too.

It's just like...

Grace,

wake up. I need you to wake up.

Are you there?

Grace?

Lady!

We gotta get out of here!

Where is he?

Where's your dad?

How far are we from? Couple miles.

Grace, can you hear me?

Did you hear that?

No. Grace?

Morgan!

Where are you?

You hear my dad?

I'm right here, Grace.

There. I'm right here. There, did you hear that?

It's the husks.

Lady, can you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Come on.

The wall's just ahead.

I heard him.

I swear.

Morgan? You're going to get us both killed. Morgan!

Come on.

The wall's just ahead.

You just killed him back there.

We need to get back.

No, the wall is this way. It's this way.

Morgan! What's going on?

Come on.

The wall's just ahead.

Come on.

The wall's just ahead.

Come on. The wall's just ahead. Come on.

The wall's just ahead. Come on. The wall's just ahead.

We're almost to the wall. Come on. We're almost to the wall. We're almost to the

wall.

This isn't real.

Come

on.

We're almost to the wall.

What are you waiting for?

I was with Morgan on the highway.

I was inward to the hospital junior's building.

The car, it exploded just like it did here.

I'm unconscious.

I'm unconscious.

What did you say?

Grace?

Hey, I'm right here.

I'm right here.

What did you say?

Grace, I need you to wake up so we can deliver this baby.

How can you do this without you?

Grace. Grace, please.

You're going to figure out where I got you here.

Wake up, Grace.

You've got to wake up.

That's why I kept hearing Morgan's voice.

He was trying to wake me up.

Morgan?

Morgan, can you hear me?

We need to get you back to Dr. Dory.

We have to go warn everyone.

Why can't he hear me?

Morgan! You're gonna draw more huts.

That's why you couldn't hear him.

You're not real.

That feel real?

Fragments of different memories.

Things that I've thought about.

My brain's trying to make sense of it all.

I wanted it to be real.

I wanted you to be real. Lady, you're going to be wishing for something else

real soon.

Why could I hear him before?

The car.

The explosion.

I started hearing him when I saw things from before.

Hey!

You won't hurt me.

Give it back.

That belonged to my mom.

I know.

I packed one just like it to take to June's.

To listen to when I was in labor.

You have a kit?

I will.

Come on, Morgan.

Come on.

June.

June,

can you hear me?

Now repeat.

Where are you?

ETA.

There's no ETA. We're not going to make it. We got attacked on the road. There

was an explosion and people came after us.

It's working.

We are now holding up at a vet site.

That doesn't matter. Listen, Grace is unconscious.

I need you to tell me what to do.

How are her vitals?

She is breathing, but her pulse is weak, best I can figure.

What?

No. What's the matter?

I need to wake up.

He was right.

I was in labor.

That's why we're going to June's.

Okay, tell me where you are. I'll try to get to you.

It's a vet office at the junction of 77 and 28.

That's at least five or six hours right away. We don't have any gas.

I'll come on horse.

Okay. Morgan, Morgan, it's not this race we need to worry about. The baby could

be in distress, too.

Morgan, I'm here.

I'm right here.

How do I get you to hear me?

I gotta go. I think they found us.

Who? Who found us?

Something's going on.

What?

We're in trouble.

What is wrong with you? Of course we're in trouble. Not here. There.

Morgan Jones!

You've been a hard man to find.

Leave. You're not real.

It's not going to make a difference.

I know you're here somewhere.

And you have something we want.

This will bring you back.

It's gonna have to wait. No, no, no, no, no, no, Morgan!

What did you do?

You broke it.

This is all I have left from her.

I didn't break it.

It's not working because Morgan shut it off.

I need to find something else that'll connect me to him.

Are we near 77 or 28?

77's closed. 28.

Not much further. Why?

There's a vet's office at the junction.

I need you to take me there.

Lady, I'm not taking you anywhere.

Take me there, or I really break this.

Morgan Jones!

I'm sorry, Grace. I have to move you.

I'm sorry, Grace.

I have to move you. It's working.

Keep moving.

We need to get to that building.

Just show yourselves and this can all be over.

What was that?

You heard it too?

Why wouldn't she?

Who are they?

I think they're the people who blew up the car.

Lupita!

Lupita!

It's okay.

It's just a contraction.

You have something we want.

It's okay.

I think they're contractions.

What?

Are you feeling them too?

I was wrong.

You are real.

It's the only thing that makes sense.

We're connected.

Your mother.

And I need to wake up so you can be born.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Because I didn't know how to explain it.

Because I didn't think you were real.

I am real.

I know.

I'm sorry I took your tape recorder.

Sorry I poked you with my stick.

Look.

So what happens when you wake up?

I think all this goes away.

That's not fair.

I just found out there's so much I want to know.

I guess I'll just have to ask when I'm older.

Right.

You'll just have to wait.

It's happening this way for a reason.

I need to wake up so you'll be okay.

It'll take hours on foot. It's too far.

Why was my dad playing that song for you?

Wherever we really are.

It was one of your dad's favorites.

I've heard him singing it.

Oh, not Morgan.

I was talking about your biological dad.

What was he like?

His name was Matthew.

He was kind and handsome and smart.

Big Roy Orbison fan.

What happened to him?

We worked at a power plant together.

He got exposed to some radiation that made him very sick.

And often before we got as close as either one of us would have liked.

But I'll always be grateful we had what we did.

Without him, I wouldn't have you.

It's working.

He's close.

You gotta wake up. You got us. They're gonna find us.

Keep going. Go.

We don't have much time.

Get in there.

Break it down.

Wake up, Grace.

Wake up.

Morgan?

Grace?

We're here.

This may be the only time I have with you, Athena.

Before... I didn't tell you everything.

There's a reason why my... why our subconscious created this place the way

did. Why I wasn't a part of it.

Why my grave was behind the wall.

Out there, in the real world.

I'm sick.

I was exposed to radiation just like Matthew.

I survived long enough for you to grow inside me, but... I don't think I have

much longer.

I don't think you're going to get the chance to get to know me.

No.

No, you can get better.

People don't get better with the kind of stuff I've been exposed to.

I know why I'm here.

I was so scared that you'd be born into a world that didn't deserve you.

Where I couldn't protect you.

But now I know that you're going to be okay without me.

Because you're strong. You were so strong.

And you're going to bring everyone together.

You're going to be the hope they need.

Do you know the real reason why I was outside the wall when I found you?

I was worried about my dad.

About Morgan.

I thought if I went out looking for seeds, then he wouldn't have to.

I don't want to grow up without my parents.

Then you won't have to.

Morgan, everyone, they're going to raise you just like they did here.

We've got nowhere to go.

Now how about giving us what we can't afford?

At least you've got to wake up. They're going to find him.

Get behind me. We've got to get through there and inside.

No.

This isn't just the only time you have with me.

It might be all I have with you.

And I'm going to fight for every second of it.

Turn around and leave now.

Turn around and leave now.

Hand over that key you're wearing, and this all goes away.

We've been looking for that key for a while.

Hired someone to find it.

Sent two friends after him when he didn't deliver.

I'm guessing you had something to do with why none of them came back.

Just leave.

Or I will do to you what I did to them.

That key is going to change everything.

And we're not leaving without it.

He can't stop us.

I think I just did.

How'd you get

that?

My dad.

Morgan. He gave it to me when I was little.

He said to wear it as a reminder.

Of what?

The cost of peace.

Hang on.

What's wrong?

June,

she's not breathing.

She's not breathing. I'm losing her.

You're already dead.

You both are.

I'm breathing.

Come on, Chris.

Come on.

Come on.

I know you thought

this would end differently.

Come on, Chris.

Come on.

It's a dream.

I'll never give up on you, Grape.

You found us.

He's here for me.

We don't have much time.

Are you ready?

I don't want to say goodbye.

But I have to.

Come on, stay with me.

Stay with me.

Come back.

Even if I'm not there, I know you're going to build.

Everything that we couldn't.

Please, come back to me.

Remember this when you get older.

record what you want me to remember.

Come back to me, Grace.

Please, come back to me. I love you, Athena.

I always will.

I don't want to lose you.

You won't you never will You don't have to be afraid

I'll always be with you

Go away. Go away.

I thought I lost you.

I had to go back.

So that Athena could be born.

Athena?

You don't know that.

There's a playlist of songs I left on this tape.

I hope when you listen to them, they'll make you smile.

Make you feel like I'm right there with you.

Because I will be.

Got you that water.

Thanks, Morgan.

Is that for, um... Athena?

Athena.

Keep saying that name.

What happened when you were out, Grace, in that dream that you had?

What do you think it was?

I know when people come as close to their last moments as I did, sometimes

see things, things they can't explain.

Like a near -death thing?

It felt real.

I really think it was her.

That's how I know that everything's going to be all right.

Dean.

Drop the stick. I will shoot you dead

right now.

Do it.

I told you I was going to get what I came for.

Go. Though something tells me this time you're going to be less stubborn.

Morgan, what's he talking about?

A key around his neck.

Come on. You know what to do.

Stop, please. Stop. Morgan.

Just give me the key and I will walk away.

What is it open?

Why do you want it?

It doesn't matter.

It's inevitable.

No matter what you do.

Morgan, give him what he wants. That key is not the future.

She is.

This baby.

She's going to create a future where people like you will never win.

That is inevitable.

So give him the key.

Because he's already lost.

He just doesn't know it yet.

Good luck

You

okay

You don't have to worry mark

She's going to bring everyone together.

She's going to give everyone something to fight for.

And I know it. I know it.

Okay.

Okay.

I believe she will.

They call it Batman.

Tiptoes to my room every night.

Just a sprinkle of stardust and a whisper.

Go to sleep.

Everything is alright.

I close my eyes.

Then I drift away.

Into the magic night.

Then I fall asleep to dream

my dreams of you.

I talk to you.

Why isn't she crying, Morgan?

Come on, baby.

Why isn't she crying?

Morgan?

Morgan?

Morgan?

I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

I don't... I don't understand.

What I saw... They weren't... They weren't my last

moments.

It's in my head.

It's just fragments.

of different memories, things that I've thought about.

My brain's trying to make sense of it all.

This episode is called In Dreams, and the title has several meanings to us. I

think the biggest one is it's the title of the Roy Orbison song, which looms so

large in the episode.

And sort of on the other side, the episode is constructed as a dream.

I love you, Athena.

Both the song and the dream itself build on each other as we get more into

Grace's head and her vision for what she hopes her daughter will become and what

role she'll play in the future, even if Grace does not survive long enough to

see it.

What's wrong with you, lady?

Trying to get yourself killed?

We wanted Athena to be strong, to be independent.

To be a leader, someone that you would absolutely understand came from Grace

from being raised by Morgan, sort of the best of both of them. You get that

right from the beginning when Athena saves Grace from the walkers in the

Where'd you learn to fight like that?

My dad taught me. She embodies all of those things.

And, you know, she's a pretty remarkable young woman.

Morgan?

We met before?

For Grace, when she arrives and Morgan doesn't recognize her, it doesn't

for her because she just saw Morgan and now he looks a lot older.

Everyone else is a lot older.

She's still wrestling with what is this that I'm seeing? Is it a vision? Is it a

dream? I think what was important to us is that only as the episode wears on and

she starts to find these touchstones.

I've seen this before.

Of things that are palpably from the real world, like the car spray painted

end is the beginning.

that's when it clues her into what she's experiencing and how she can get back

to reality.

No.

What's the matter?

I need to wake up.

He was right.

I was in labor.

There's a drive to what's happening for Grace, which is that she needs to wake

up so that Athena can be born.

It was important to us to construct it that way so it wasn't just a dream that

Grace was a passive participant in.

is this real ticking clock of grace needing to wake up so that this possible

future can happen i think grace believes athena is going to be the hope that

people need because morgan essentially tells her that and you had athena and we

lost you everybody forgot the differences and rallied around that

still do grace now has seen firsthand what an amazing person athena is And

she's hopeful and knows that this birth is going to be the thing that changes

everything. We're connected.

I don't understand.

I'm your mother.

And the beautiful thing of the episode is that she has to work together with

daughter.

So that Grace can give birth to the young woman that she's fighting

the dream.

There's a playlist of songs I left on this tape.

I hope when you listen to them.

They'll make you smile.

Grace has been pregnant for a while, and she had that Walkman with her to listen

to when she knew she was going into labor.

Athena's biological father was a big Roy Orbison fan.

In dreams?

Roy Orbison.

That's what you're singing, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Never knew what it was called.

Roy Orbison sings in the song about in dreams, I walk with you. And that's what

we've seen her do with Athena.

So for Grace to be listening to that, she's manifesting this idea that all I

have to do is get through this and then that dream can happen.

And of course, the devastating part is everything she experienced is ultimately

only a dream and that none of it's going to come to pass in reality.

Out there in the real world.

I'm sick.

Grace knows.

From her experience working in the power plant that often pregnant moms, the

radiation exposure they have will go to the baby. And it was something that she

believed based on the dream that maybe it was the opposite, where she absorbed

it all and the baby didn't get it. Morgan, what's wrong?

Why isn't she crying?

You know, her initial instinct turned out to be right.

I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

What I saw, they weren't my last moments.

They were hers.

It was just a dream.
