Original subtitles

I don't believe introductions are necessary.

Uh...

no.

I know who you are.

And we know who you are.

Or we know who you were.

How long have I been here?

Long enough to verify your story.

We found the raft you told us about.

We're processing the passengers now.

How many people were on those rafts?

Not as many as you thought,

but... enough to satisfy our needs.

How did you know they were out there?

I heard chatter on the radio,

and I thought you might be interested in them.

If you want to be part of what we're doing,

you need to show us that you're committed to our vision.

No, I am.

I am, and I will.

We'll see about that.

What is this?

Our newest intake.

Why are you playing it for me?

We want you to be a Collector,

to bring us children like this

one who recently joined the community,

brought to us by the same Collector who recruited you.

What are-- What are they doing to her?

Her? I had a daughter.

That's why I know.

We're drawing blood, giving her shots

to make sure she doesn't get sick.

To make sure she doesn't make other children sick.

What about the parents? Why can't we bring them in, too?

We tried.

We found they don't want to build something better.

They want to re-build what we had,

and what we had got us into this mess.

She's not happy. S-Somebody should comfort her.

Come on! She sounds scared!

Like all the children here,

she will learn to separate herself from her emotions.

Okay, stop!

- What's the matter? - This is a setup.

How did you know?

How did he know?! Did you tell him?!

A Collector bringing us a child and a new recruit

in one day doesn't happen often.

We had to be sure.

Does it look like I sold you out?

You need to bring me that child.

If you want to live long enough to see any of the things

you're trying to build here,

you will bring me that child at the dock,

let me get on a boat,

and get out of here with my daughter.

Do what's best for her, not you.

- That's what I'm doing. - Go.

I'll keep him honest till you're clear.

You sure?

I'm doing what I said I would do.

Your kid's not gonna grow up on this island.

Thank you.

Do you really want to do this?

There's nothing you could do to me

that's worse than what I'm already living.

We'll see about that.

Hold her!

Where did it come from?

Same place they always do.

The mainland.

Don't worry about it.

You're doing this for the same reason we do everything.

For PADRE.

Dove, help me!

What the hell happened in there?

- Why'd you freeze? - I don't know.

PADRE should've never let you in here.

- You're just too young for this. - I'm not.

You've gotta train me.

You've gotta show me what you did in your trial.

I have my offshore training next week.

That means I've got to cram on my survival basics.

What if I do your chores so you can study?

For how long?

A week.

A month.

Hey, Wren.

Who are we learning this for?

PADRE!

Who sustains our way of life?

PADRE!

Who is teaching us to be strong?

PADRE!

Who is rebuilding the world?

PADRE!

Shoot.

Hello?

Is someone there?

Hey! Can I get some help?

Closer...

Are you okay?

Hello?

Is anyone in there?

Wait, wait! Please!

I'm not gonna hurt you!

I just need your help.

Good morning, Lark.

It's that time of the week.

You gonna play nice today?

I see you're skipping meals again.

We have ways to make you eat.

See you next week, Lark.

Aah! Aah!

You really think we'd bring live ammo down here?

I know you want to die, Lark.

But PADRE's not gonna let that happen.

You don't have to go in there again.

I want to.

I have to go to the Mainland to help build our future.

Then wait till you're old enough.

I can't.

Every time I look out there,

I feel like something really big is missing inside of me.

And you think you're gonna find that on the Mainland?

Only thing that's out there is more Carrion.

Ones with teeth.

That prisoner down there in the cellar, why is she in there?

- How do you know about her? - A tank fell down the stairs.

I went to get it, and she asked for help--

You talked to her?

- I called for the guard, but then she-- - No.

Listen, you stay away from her.

That woman is dangerous.

We could get in a lot of trouble if PADRE

found out you were down there doing my chores.

Why is she there?

What did she do?

I shouldn't be telling you this.

Her name is Lark. She was... a Collector.

Rescued more kids than anybody.

Until, for some reason, she helped some new recruit

and his kid get off the island.

Who?

I don't know, Wren. Some dad and his baby girl.

I thought PADRE never lost a kid before.

I'm just telling you what people told me.

She's down there for a reason.

They say she took out over a dozen guards

with just a sledgehammer.

Twice as many Carrion.

She almost killed PADRE.

We training or not?

Why can't you do that in the Circle?

I don't know.

You assholes were already here this morning.

Young Girl: I'm not here to hurt you.

You came back.

How did you get down here?

I snuck past the guards.

They leave it unmanned when they do their rounds at shift change.

Why'd you come back?

I need you to teach me.

Teach you? What?

Teach you what?

How to kill Carrion.

Where'd you get that?

Gardening shed.

I know you helped someone escape from the island.

I know you took out half the settlement's guards with this.

Heard you even almost killed PADRE.

And y-you want to finish the job?

I shouldn't have come here.

No. Please, no.

I can help you.

You'll teach me?

What do you care about killing the dead?

I need to show PADRE he's wrong.

I'm not too young to wear the mantle.

I'll help you.

If you do something for me.

- What? - See that valve?

See it?

I need you to turn it off.

What will that do?

Exactly what you think.

You want to die.

You want to know how I took out so many guards?

I didn't care whether or not I lived.

I already did what I set out to do.

So, I show you how to use this, you turn the valve.

Do we have a deal?

Yeah.

Yeah, we do.

Well, let me see your grip.

Okay. Now swing it.

You gotta let the-- the weight of the hammer do the work.

I don't understand.

Well, I just think you're gripping it too tight.

So, here-- let me show you.

Let me show you.

Okay. Yeah.

Here.

Back up. Back up!

Don't!

What are you doing?!

Shit!

You lied to me!

You didn't hold up your end of the deal.

What the hell's wrong with you, kid?!

I'm not getting in trouble because of you!

Where'd you get that scar?

I don't know. I had it since I was little.

- How old are you? - 8.

Why are you asking me this?

Shit!

- What? - God dammit!

What?!

- It can't have been that long. - What are you talking about?

What's your name?

Wren.

No.

No, it's not.

It's Mo.

I brought you here seven years ago.

I also helped you and your father escape.

- What? - That's why they locked me up.

- You're not supposed to be here. - No.

I'm not the kid you got off the island.

You are. You got this during the escape.

- That doesn't make sense! - I know it doesn't make sense!

So they must have brought you back.

Down here! Come on!

Change of plans.

We're leaving.

Don't do anything stupid, Lark.

- Let her go! - Hand her over!

- I'll kill her! - Step away from the girl!

Where are you taking me?

Where I thought your dad took you a long time ago--

as far away from PADRE as possible.

This is PADRE 1-- I want patrols

in every direction for a 15-mile radius.

She needs to be found and brought back immediately.

Man #2: Copy that, PADRE 1.

We walk the rest of the way.

No. I'm not getting off.

I made a promise to your dad, and I intend to keep it.

Here, put this on.

It'll help hide you when they come looking.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

To find your dad.

Do you even know if he's alive?

This is why PADRE built things the way he did,

so people like you don't do things like this.

You're gonna get us killed!

I'm not here to argue.

Head into the marsh.

It'll be impossible for anyone to track us there.

Here. Here, let me--

My foot, it's stuck.

Grab this.

Hey! Hey! What the hell are you doing, kid?

Ahh.

PADRE, can you hear me?

This is Wren.

I repeat-- this is Wren.

I don't think so!

Back off, lady.

They're coming for me.

They're going to find me.

So are the dead.

And they're already here.

Shit.

Lost my gun over there, too.

I can't to protect you out here.

We gotta move inland.

You won't get far without oxygen.

Come on. This way.

They won't find us the deeper we go in the swamp.

You can't breathe.

You're gonna die out there.

You comin' or not?

No.

I told you-- I'm waiting for PADRE.

It's gonna take them weeks to find you out here.

I'm trained in survival.

But you never killed the dead.

We're already drawing them in from all over.

I can handle myself.

What the hell happened? What was that?

I don't know.

Hey. You're 8 years old.

It's okay to be scared of them.

I'm not scared.

Okay. Let's go.

I wouldn't go that way.

Not safe in there.

Who's that?

That's your dad.

I knew you'd be alive, Morgan.

I'm not that easy to get rid of.

What the hell happened? Why was she back at PADRE?

How'd you find us?

I heard the chatter on the walkies.

And this is where we landed when we escaped seven years ago.

Are you really my father?

I am, Mo--

Wren.

My name is Wren.

Right.

Right.

I don't know what PADRE told you about parents,

but I promise you, it is okay.

'Cause I'm here to take you back to him.

This is PADRE 1-- Wren, do you copy?

Here. Can you take this?

Wren, do you copy?

This is PADRE 1. We heard your message.

What is your location?

I repeat-- what is your location?

This is Nightingale.

I have Wren.

Nightingale? This isn't a sanctioned operation.

I heard the alert. I was nearby,

and I had an idea where they would land.

You're with them?

You've been locked away a long time.

What are they holding over you?

Just had to accept what you said to me the first time we met.

She's better off with them than me.

It's okay.

I want to go back.

I spent seven years in a cell so you could be with her.

This isn't about you.

This is about what's best for my kid.

Always was.

I know! I'm doing this for her!

Unh!

No. You're doing it to make yourself feel better

about all those other kids you took.

I do not want to hurt you.

Incoming.

I am bringing them both in.

Negative. Just the fledgling.

We no longer need Lark.

Wren is fine, and Lark is no longer a threat.

I repeat-- we no longer need Lark.

She's become a liability to the settlement.

What's that mean?

Means I'm not going back with you.

Do you copy, Nightingale?

Copy that.

I need you to go wait for me over there.

Please.

Seriously?

I'm sorry.

But if I don't do this, they might not let her back in.

And if we're honest, this is exactly what you wanted

when we were back on that beach in Louisiana.

Can you go and wait for me over there, please?

I need you to go wait for me.

Take her hammer with you.

Back on that beach, I said I was gonna save your daughter.

I also said I was gonna save you.

I guess that's what I'm gonna have to do.

We don't need saving!

He's right. I want to go back.

It's because you don't know anything else.

And something made you forget.

We can't wait here. That's our only option.

Get up.

We are screwed, because that's the way I went

with her seven years ago.

What happened there?

No use scaring her.

This time's different.

She's got both of us now.

I'm not sure that's gonna be enough.

Swamps are like flypaper to walkers.

They all come in here, but they can't get back out.

And it's only gonna get harder.

So how much you got left in that tank?

- I broke it. - I'll get it working.

Just keep going. I can manage.

Doesn't sound like it to me.

I just need to last long enough to convince

you not to take her back.

That's not gonna happen.

Hey.

We get out of this swamp, I'm gonna take you back

so you can live on that island like me and you never met.

You understand?

I'll go back to doing what I've been doing

for the past seven years.

Yeah, you're a Collector, aren't you?

That's why PADRE let you live.

You know, the least she knows about me the better.

They got Mo. Who else they got?

Her mother? Is that why you're doing this?

I don't understand.

That's how PADRE gets people to do what they want.

They find out what matters to you and threaten it.

They provide a way of life that works.

You really buy that bullshit, Morgan?

You need to call me Nightingale in front of her.

"Morgan"?

What kind of name is that?

It's your name, too, kid.

Wren suits you better.

Is that why you were a Collector?

Because PADRE threatened people you cared about?

Is that why you rescued me?

They said they'd go after my kids

if I didn't do what they wanted.

- You have kids? - I did.

A son and a daughter.

Were they on the island, too?

No.

PADRE didn't take Nick and Alicia

because they were already dead.

But PADRE lied to me, made me think they were alive,

that he knew where they were.

When I found out the truth,

that's when I decided to help your dad get you back.

Probably be dead if you hadn't brought me to the island.

Is that what you want? Her thinking this?

I want her to be alive.

And, also, she's right.

'Cause when you found us, we were out of food,

damn near out of water, and at the mercy of a posse.

It was only a matter of time before things ended for us.

Morgan.

There's boats. PADRE.

Where the hell are they getting gas?

I don't know, but we need to get out of here.

Come on. I was supposed to get back with you.

You okay?

Yeah.

Now they think we're running.

They're trying to flush us out to an estuary.

- It's a couple of miles ahead. - How do you know?

Because that's exactly what they did to us seven years ago.

You okay, kid?

- I'm fine. - Give me my radio back.

I can call this off and get us picked up.

What the hell?

We're gonna need that.

Guess you can't take the easy way out now.

We could die out here!

PADRE did that.

That's how they're keeping her "safe."

Because you took her off the island!

No. No, we have to go back. We have to get that walkie!

Wren!

You need to forget the walkie.

You're gonna get yourself hurt.

I can handle myself!

Okay.

We have to find shelter.

Yeah.

I know a place.

Home, sweet home.

Is it safe?

Yeah, as long as we don't draw any more.

Hey, kid.

Kid.

You okay?

Did something happen to me here?

Told you, the less you know the better.

Come on. We need to stay ahead of them.

They're still coming.

I'd stay away from the window.

When we don't show up at that estuary,

PADRE's gonna come looking for us here.

Let me.

God, what were they doing to you back there?

They drew blood.

Once a week.

I didn't always cooperate.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know they locked you up.

I'm still here.

Should've seen this coming.

They manipulated you just like they did me.

Well, I gave myself a set of rules.

I only take kids who have lost their parents

or kids whose parents give them up willingly for a better life.

What's PADRE think about that?

PADRE doesn't know.

What happened here?

Is this where PADRE caught you and Mo?

That's not worth talking about.

You know what PADRE's training the kids for on the island?

Come on. He doesn't share his plans with me.

You don't train 8-year-olds to kill without a good reason.

You think she's not safe there?

I've been locked up a long time.

I don't know what to think.

Who else is on that island? Who was on those rafts?

Not many you would know.

Daniel, Luciana--

I don't know where they ended up.

And Victor?

Well, he wasn't on the raft when PADRE found them,

and nobody knows where he is now.

What's this?

Don't.

- What is it? - I don't know. It's, uh...

some kinda graffiti.

"King County"?

What is that?

What does it mean?

I told you, I don't know.

It was already here when I found the place.

Here.

What about all this stuff? Was this here, too?

Did I not say?!

- I told you-- -"The less I know..."

I get it. You don't want to tell me.

What are you trying to hide?

Nothing, Wren. It is...

nothing.

Come on.

I said it was nothing.

Who's that?

That is just a song.

No.

No, it's not!

♪ Yeah, I'm...♪

Who's that?!

It's just-- just a song.

I remember.

It's okay.

They're gonna pull us under.

- What's she talking about? - I remember!

- No. - What's she talking about?

The Carrion are gonna pull us under.

Shouldn't have done this.

You shouldn't have taken me off that island!

- Hey, stop! - Whoa!

PADRE are gonna find us before anything happens.

They don't even know we're here!

The Carrion are gonna kill us because of you.

But you don't care!

Because that's what you want-- to die!

It's not true.

Wren, no!

More are gonna come now.

Why did you bring me here?

Because, Mo, I needed to save you.

Well, you can't save me.

Just get over on that side.

We need to get her out of here.

No, we'll get torn apart.

Here.

We wait for PADRE.

- What if they don't show up? - They will.

Just like they did before.

How did they find us last time?

I radioed them.

I called them, told them to come.

I tried to kill the walkers to stop them

from pulling us under, but I couldn't.

There were too many of them.

Couldn't protect you then, and I can't protect you now.

We don't have a radio. We can't call them.

We have to do this ourselves.

You can barely stand, let alone fight.

I don't need to.

Then we go out this way.

There's not as many of them.

Okay?

Come on.

Go! I'll draw them away.

Eyes ahead. Keep your eyes ahead.

We're all right.

My foot! My foot, it's stuck!

- Stuck? - My foot's stuck!

She's stuck!

[Distorted] I'm sorry.

I thought this was what you needed.

I'm doing this for you.

You take care of her, all right?

Like you said.

You take care of her!

Take care of her. Get out of here!

Get her out of here. Get her out of here!

This is what happened last time, isn't it?

Yes. I'm so sorry.

Over here!

Over here!

Over here!

Over here!

Over here!

Over here!

They're going to kill her!

Over here!

Over here!

Come on.

No! No, we can't leave her behind!

You have to!

That's why I'm doing this.

- No! - Mo!

- Come on! - You did the same thing.

Because your boat was being pulled under by the walkers!

Go, please!

How did you survive?

I killed as many as I could,

and then PADRE came and saved me,

but I don't think they're coming this time.

Mo!

I heard the radio chatter! I got here as fast as I could.

Who are you?

I'm your mother.

Now let's get the hell out of here.

Come on.

You're with PADRE, too?

He's got me maintaining their radio towers.

Radio traffic exploded when you escaped.

I heard Nightingale's message.

Figured you'd end up here at the houseboat

after he went silent.

Nightingale? Jesus...

They got all of you.

Your voice.

You were the one singing on the tape.

I made that a long time ago.

I remembered it even before I heard it on the boat.

You've got to try to put that out of your mind.

Here.

You all dried off?

Just in case.

They still looking for us?

Haven't heard anything yet.

We don't have to go back.

What are you talking about?

You did save me, you know.

Back then.

You called PADRE seven years ago, and you didn't want to.

You almost died fighting to get me back to them.

Did you not see what happened today?

You showed up.

We can do this.

Yesterday, you're fighting to get back to the island,

- and then today-- - PADRE's been lying to me this whole time.

Telling me that you were selfish,

that you couldn't make the hard calls to protect me.

But you did before.

And you did just now.

You can come with us.

I'll just slow you down.

I did what I set out to do.

So you think it's okay to give up and die out here?

What about everyone else?

What are you talking about, Mo?

I can't be the only one you took.

What about all the other kids you "rescued" for PADRE?

I can't help them.

Why not?

You helped me, and we wouldn't be doing it alone.

Right?

It may not be that simple.

Why not?

- PADRE? - How'd they find us?

We radioed them.

- What? - Morgan?

They can protect you in ways that we can't.

No. That's not true.

This is not up for debate.

I won't go.

I don't want to.

There's so much I don't know about you.

You have to go back, Mo!

You have to forget everything that happened back at the boat.

No.

I can't.

When I looked ashore, I knew something was missing.

It was you.

- You're my parents-- - No, we're not.

Okay? We're not. We're not your parents.

Your parents were Isaac and Rachel, and they're dead.

They died a long time ago,

and they made me promise to take care of you.

And that is what I'm doing.

And that's why you're going back to PADRE.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You have a chance to be with her,

and you're throwing it all away.

You-- You need to get out of here.

You need to run and not make this any harder

than it already is.

You're making the biggest mistake of your life.

PADRE will kill you.

Let him.

You have to save yourself.

You have to save yourself so you can help everyone else.

I'm not gonna make it.

You have to try.

Get her.

Don't worry. I still have use for you.

Remember what I showed you.

Remember what they took from you.

Let's go, Wren.

Heron, go to the Delta Receiver for repairs.

Well, at least we got to see her.

That's what makes it harder.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Where does PADRE want me to patrol now?

PADRE is retiring you as a Collector.

- I brought her back. I-- - He's invested too much in that girl

to run the risk that she'll cross paths with you again.

Not when she knows you're her father.

I made sure that that's not gonna happen again.

Because you thought that's what's best for her now.

That might not always be the case.

Take him away!

Write that down.

You've had quite a day, Wren.

- I'm sorry. - Sometimes we have to

learn lessons the hard way.

I'm just glad you're okay.

I have a feeling you're about to play a crucial role

in the next steps the settlement is about to take.

We need to talk.

I shouldn't have gone down there.

I want to be a part of the future PADRE's building.

I'm glad to hear that.

We need citizens like you.

Lark showed me what it's like out there.

She showed me how lucky I am to be here.

Let me show PADRE I'm not too young to protect it.

And that's why I'm willing to

let today's transgression slide.

But, Wren, any future transgressions

will bring harsh consequences.

Hope you learned your lesson.

Don't worry. I did.

I'm not gonna have to worry about you ever again,

am I, Wren?

No, sir.

Nothing to worry about at all.

Do I have your word on that?

Yes, sir.
