Original subtitles

So you'll take the boy with you, huh? That's the plan.

God is still here, and the boy is proof!

That's what faith is.

If you need proof, you've already lost it.

I can't see them. The fire's like... I

mean, using your dead daughter to manipulate me. This is gonna be the one

us home. This plane will never get off the ground with all four of us. So,

Paris, we have a problem.

You know where I'm from.

They say you blow on those to set your wishes free.

In French, it's called pisani.

Because if you eat one, it makes you pee in bed.

To Cindy Lee.

There. I found this in a trunk of a car.

I did what I could with the strings.

Parajon, did you try to play that?

You're like 70s rock.

Neil Young, John Baez, Led Zeppelin.

You're not coming, are you?

Somebody has to stay behind.

It makes sense that it's me.

You want to talk about it?

Why? Why don't you change your mind?

Every time something good happens, something bad comes to ruin it.

It's only temporary.

Then why does it feel like forever?

It's a long way to America. You'll be all alone.

I've been alone before.

A lot of times.

I'll make it back.

You can't promise that.

Hey, look at me.

I can't promise that.

I must see you again.

All right.

Go ahead.

Play something.

Always get what you want.

Can't always get what you want.

Try sometimes.

Just make fun.

Get what you need.

How's it looking?

I want you to know that I won't be coming with you.

I want you to take Daryl and the boy.

Why should I help any of you?

You bring me here under bullshit pretenses.

I mean, for what?

So now I can do you a huge fucking favor.

You want to punish me, I get it.

But you won't be doing any worse than I'm already doing to myself.

Please don't take it out on them.

And for a while, he served psychiatric life.

Maybe we can find some equipment.

Leave the horses here.

Okay.

It was time.

We're having a lot of fun.

Thanks.

You see that spasm there?

And there, that means he's dehydrated.

Do you know a horse here?

A mule, rather.

My father was a peasant in Algeria before we emigrated.

You had brothers and sisters?

Two brothers who died.

And a sister, Jamila. And I lost her race.

And you had a family?

I came all alone from Cameroon.

And when the infirmary arrived, they had nothing to lose.

It's hard to continue when you have nothing to lose.

Are we going to inspect?

You can stay there with the horses.

Shouldn't we all stay together?

A little dangerous inside.

C 'est exactement ce que je viens de dire.

Intéressante celle -là.

Attention au coup de foudre.

The French health system is the best in the world.

Shall we fly?

I think you know.

So what?

Do we have to kill your friend?

Hey, man.

Where's Dickson?

We don't know where he is.

What is it?

I don't think he likes me.

You ash?

He's got a lot on his mind.

Because you lied to him.

Something like that.

And now you feel bad, too.

People shouldn't die.

No, they shouldn't.

But I'm glad you did.

If you told Ash the truth, you might not be here, and neither would Daryl.

You have a really special way of saying things, don't you?

They're gonna make a lot of friends at the Commonwealth.

Do you think Daryl will be able to make it back by himself?

What kind of hoes are we looking for?

Something long enough to run from an external tank, so we don't have to stop.

We got Greenland.

I heard about that.

Hey, look, man.

I don't really need any help here.

All right, fair enough.

What happened to his parents?

They were wrong.

He's an orphan.

I'm sorry about your kid, Carol told me.

I was there when she lost Sophia.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

You lose a wife or a husband, you're a widower, a widow.

But if you lose a kid, there's no word for that.

Maybe that's too hard of a thing to name.

You got kids?

No.

Well, maybe it's a good thing you don't have to worry.

I worry about plenty.

You know, you came here to save a kid.

You still can.

Wait a minute.

Hi.

I guess I am kind of glad you're coming with us.

I used to live on the street when I first moved here.

Ran away, actually, from our little village to be a singer.

Hated my mother for not believing in me, but maybe she was just trying to

protect me.

I wonder if she'd be ashamed.

Why is she, anyway?

Back home, I guess.

In Karelia.

You're going to get us killed.

Perhaps you remember me from that cesspool you operate.

Oh, yeah.

He came as a man and left alone.

I wanted them things he wanted.

I didn't help him. Why help you?

I know they have an airplane.

Help me find them or your friend's pretty face goes next.

This is why I don't make friends.

And I don't give without getting something good in return.

What about your life?

I could take it.

Or live it.

What do you want?

To go home.

Back where my people are.

So... I help you find the boy.

I get the plane.

And the pilot.

So, this way.

We're going to be able to talk. This tells us how high we are.

Pretty

good with

him, huh?

Yeah, he is.

Yep.

Brought you something?

No way.

You lug this all the way here?

Well, he allowed one carry -on, so...

Yeah.

Thank you.

Daryl, listen.

Look, you know what you're gonna say?

You ain't staying.

It's the right thing.

For everybody.

It's already settled.

I'm gonna get you home, even if it means me staying behind. Because if anything

happens to you, I'm not gonna be able to live with myself.

He's right.

Daryl has been here longer, on the ground.

He knows how to survive.

And you know the plane.

You can help me.

Ash, this isn't about that. It is about whatever can get that kid back to a safe

place.

Looks like you're outnumbered.

She sent us to the life.

They are coming for long.

You ready to fly?

Yo -Yo, right now.

Come on, help me get this wall down.

You're right there.

I got to test the engine.

Plane is on the other side near the racetrack.

They want to come in this way.

Allez -y.

It doesn't look like it used to.

Does it?

It will be beautiful again.

Someday.

I hope you get to go home soon.

So, which way?

Through the garage.

It will take you to the truck.

Okay. Go ahead.

Lead the way.

Up to you.

He could be an electric tip -off.

Our braider's a little stubborn.

I gotta make him twig.

Hop out.

Skip means that they're in the fuel, huh?

That's right.

Tiny the intake, that ought to do it.

What about it?

They found him.

All right. Give me some time to get down that runway.

You got it.

Look at me.

I'll see you soon. All right.

I promise.

So be gone.

Okay, fighting!

We good?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're good.

FUCKING MOTHERFUCKER!

Yeah I know.

They say they'll be here by sundown.

We can head out in the morning.

Who are these people?

They can help us get to England. From there, you may find a way across from

America. They speak English?

They're from Scotland, so... No.

It looks like it's better in England.

No, no.

I went to London when I was little.

The food is terrible.

Concentrate.

You can come, you know.

I don't know. I like Paris.

I don't know, there's something special about surviving here.

And I hope to always find Jamila.

No.

Maybe your pals could stop pointing those things at us.

Oh.

Bonjour, mes amis.

This is Fiona and Angus.

They will be our guides to the island.

Good to see you.

Daryl, Codron, Carol and Akira.

Hiya. Nice to meet you.

No supplies to get through the checkpoint.

Wine. A bit of food.

Very good.

Aye, that should be plenty.

At least one more than we need.

Oh.

We were in Edinburgh for a few years.

And Fiona said, to hell with it. Let's get hitched.

I thought that Paris would be romantic, you know.

We were young.

Young and dumb.

You know, I've always had this dream about France.

The history, the culture, the food, you know.

What was it really like before the world turned to shite?

La France.

Parfait.

Well, most of the time.

Of course, some things were not always so good.

I had these neighbours, the Desjardins, the White family.

They were so nice.

My food smelled bad. I played music too loud. I worked in a hospital back then.

So I came and went all hours.

They complained about it.

Then Monsieur Desjardins, he lost his job.

Drunk a lot.

Started calling me names.

Terrible words.

Tell me I should go and live in that good door.

for this terrible thing to pass.

One night, I hear a knock at my door.

I grab my weapon and look out.

It's him, holding his two -year -old child, limping his arms, pleading his

for me to help.

He thinks he's dead, but no.

Her airway was blocked, and she passed out.

And the father?

He took her and left.

But I saw gratitude in his eyes.

So, the apocalypse put an end to racism?

No. Maybe it covered the field a tiny bit.

Only two kinds of people now.

The dead and the living.

We need more wood.

What happened next?

A family moved out.

I used the furniture to make wood.

It kept me all winter.

Goodbye.

Tomorrow, I'll be too shy.

Come back with us.

I'll never forget you.

Let's say goodbye again.

I'm sorry about what happened to the nun.

She's probably in a better place, huh?

Like my brother.

His name was Michel.

It's a very old name in France.

I used to laugh about that with him.

He hated that.

It was so hard to see him that way.

Having to finish him off.

You put an end to a part of yourself.

Yeah, I can imagine.

You never tell me what happened.

Are you kidding me, sir?

She told me it was you.

What did you expect her to tell you?

So what? Everything's starting down in Marseille.

The things I did.

of that's because of her.

I guess she was a pretty good liar.

You all right?

They should be there by now.

Ezekiel's probably showing Ash around.

Maybe Judith is trying to teach Laurel how to use her katana.

It wasn't easy there.

Never felt like home.

It'll be different this time.

We'll stay together.

I can't remember.

Is it her after the farm?

It was her before.

That little girl that I would read stories to.

Sing with and laugh with.

Time took that Sophia away.

Love is life, just what came of it. Or it's more than that.

It just seems that way.

It's tired, you know.

It's been so long, it all just got turned up again for her.

Lizzie, Henry.

Hey.

None of that's your fault.

We keep going.

All right?

That's what we do.

So that's it, huh?

A bit worse for wear, but we can still get through.

Wow.

The channel.

50 kilometres downwind.

It took us about nine hours to walk this on the way here.

Take care.

You too.

We'll all be here thinking of you guys.

Let's go.

I know you will get where you are going.

It's been a privilege fighting with you guys.

Thank you for everything.

What is that?

It said your brother's in arms.

It's worth all he's done.

Your flesh is getting better.

So what's England like?

England's shite.

Not bad, huh?

Actually, army took over and got things locked down pretty quick.

The island was good when we left.

Aye, they're still English, so they're shite.

Now Scotland, there's a wet fucking drain.

What the hell is that?

Guano.

Guano? That shit.

Don't touch it.

Don't worry.

That's just psychoactive.

Ground to the channel, huh?

I hope that's feeling holes.

Growning's not anything I had on my to -do list.

Don't worry.

Pressure will crush you to death before you get your hair wet.

That's comforting.

Thank you.

How do we know how far we've gone?

That yellow door leads to a service tunnel.

There's one every half kilometer.

Only 91 to go.

Now hold up.

That must be a checkpoint.

English? Why so close to France? To keep out the fucking French.

Hey, relax now.

Just keep your guns away.

Let me do the talking.

You'll just piss them off.

Hello?

We're British.

Please don't shoot.

We come bearing gifts.

Angus, get it. Go, Angus, go.

Dino!

What's going on, Dino?

God save the Queen!

I guess they're not going to be needing a wine.

Not for us.

Thank God.

Ed, let there be...

It

killed the door.

Why would they do that?

Maybe it's the guano.

If you breathe it in too long, you can start to see things.

Start getting you paranoid.

They lose their minds.

You want to keep moving?

What is this?

Bioluminescence.

Some animals and plants generate their own light.

Like fireflies.

Yeah, exactly.

Walker.

All right, follow me. Single fire. Keep quiet.

It's time for the mini froggy.

Where's Carol?

Amen.

We've got enough masks for the lot, mate.

We've got people waiting for us back home, mate.

This has been so long.

You think you've had enough?

That there's nothing left inside you?

You think it's over?

Not like him.

Remember when we first met?

Good luck, Mr Dixon.

You okay?

I think so.

Where's Cuddle?

He ran off.

Let's go home.

You can't always get what you want.

You can't always get what you want.

But if you try sometimes,

you might find you get what you need.

Au revoir, les enfants.

Goodbye, children is the title of episode six. It references a great old

movie, and it had some themes that were very relevant for this series. It's also

relevant to the episode because we are saying goodbye to Laurent, at least for

the time being.

You're not coming, are you?

Somebody has to stay behind.

That whole section was really moving.

Daryl being left alone again. That surprised me a little bit. I was kind of

gripped by that because I'm like, wow, he started alone washing up on a beach

and now he's getting left alone again. That's what it feels like in the moment.

Go ahead.

Play something.

Yeah, I can play guitar. I've been doing it for a year and a half, maybe two

years. It was kind of hard to play on that guitar on set because it wasn't

tuned. But I think they wanted it to not be tuned because who would pick up a

guitar after 12 years and just strum it and it would be perfect pitch.

The playfulness of badly singing this amazing song together, the thread became

visible between the two of us, which kind of connected us like magnets, and

it went to a really sad place. I think the most important thing here is with

the violence and all the action and all the thrill and all the drama, that you

never lose sight of that very simple human emotion of people saying farewell,

that's empty for the last time.

I'll make it back.

I can't promise that.

I can't promise that. I think these two characters, they grow on the sort of

mental relationship in season two, even more than in season one.

Yeah, I mean, the relationship between Laurent and Daryl, it's very similar to

the relationship between Louis and I. We've really bonded quite a bit. We bond

over funny things. We tell jokes a lot.

But yeah, our relationship, it's pretty strong. He's a cool kid.

The hippodrome sequence was many days. I think it was a full week and multiple

units. It was probably the hardest overall sequence we filmed in the whole

series.

It's one of the final big events of the season.

Well, the action that happens here in this location is quite extreme. There's

starting gate.

There's a horse starting at the hip drum and that's going to be the barrier that

they erect.

It stops at the center of our warriors from capturing Louis. And there'll be a

fierce gun battle.

This beacon is going to be so epic because there's going to be people

stop us getting away and going up in the sky.

We're going to have an explosion as well underneath the car. So the car is going

to throw a grenade and the car is going to lift on two kickers.

And then a motorbike following a plane, then the plane taking off.

There was this real plane.

This plane is able to fly, you know, so it's crazy. I love that.

Very often directors like their toys, they like their ships and their planes

their trains, but they all come with all sorts of problems. You know, it's very

complicated, very difficult. We've had to do aerial photography, we've had to

onboard plane photography.

Some we've done live, some we've done against green screen.

It adds enormous complexity, but it's so rich in terms of the scale and scope it

gives us. The first thing we've done is we did a big rehearsal with the plane to

see if it was possible, and then we worked with a storyboarder, and we

much drew the whole scene.

And here we are, shooting it.

My fondest memory of shooting that whole crazy hippodrome scene would be Carol

laying in the grass, taking that shot.

And then looking over and seeing Daryl.

Daryl seeing Carol.

There was some strange happiness happening there. The other thing that I

about it that I didn't even realize until I was standing there when we were

doing it, I was like, all the characters are here. All the stories came together

in this huge action piece.

Having everybody together, injecting their taste. It's fun to do. It makes it

feel like a whole pie.

It's chundled.

So we end the season in the tunnel. The tunnel is a tunnel that connects France

to England.

And the idea that we're positing in episode six is that things in England

better, ostensibly, and that that would be a place to get to and also a place

that's a little bit closer to home.

It's sort of like being in deep space or like being really, really low

depths of the ocean. It's claustrophobic, but also pretty

same time. Of course, the channel holds certain unexpected risks and jeopardies

that they encounter.

I was shocked by their beauty.

They are new zombies. They are very different, and they are amazing.

We've been testing these bioluminescent walkers. This fungus that gets

underneath the skin glows, and there was a lot of talk at some point of, like,

well, maybe we can put some LEDs in the prosthetics themselves.

The trick with that is the minute the actor moves, if he pulls a wire out,

all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. It's really, really challenging to get

lights. underneath the prosthetic makeup. So we opted for some blacklight

-activated paint. And then we have several full -body suits.

And we would paint the suits and then put layers of translucent silicone over

top of them to diffuse them so it looked like they're actually glowing from

underneath.

In the writer's room, we were talking about things that could happen in the

channel. And we wanted something a little crazy. We were talking about

there'd be lots of bats there. And then we talked about guano and the effects of

ingesting guano. So then we ran with that. So it's a mix between a kind of

reality and a kind of dream nightmare, you know.

And then it became about how to give resolve to the Daryl Isabel.

daryl in france story and how do you also give some kind of resolve although

ends mysteriously with codron and his brother that's how we went back crazy in

the writer's room back in season four when they were going to kill carol

off i had gone to the studio and they made a latex of my face and he used that

as i guess the preliminary drafts for some of the carol walkers which is uh i

don't know a little disturbing to see but it's just enough to not totally

mutilate carol in her own mind whatever perception she has in that moment of

hallucinating and in the depths of her perception of herself i think it's just

enough to make that work for that scene we are saying

goodbye to this sort of version of sophia that is haunting carol Her fight

survival is a tribute to Sophia, and it always has been. I think it's a

punishment that she may not even deserve.

And I think that's what she needs to get beyond. There's so many losses that she

had taken responsibility for. Not that Sophia's gone forever, but this idea

she only sees Sophia as a walker. That walker Sophia leads.

You okay?

I think so.

I like ending this season with just the two of them. It's a full circle.

It's an effortless relationship, and you don't need a lot of words to express

how they feel about each other. And that's how close those two characters

It's just the two of them now.

They're not back in the Commonwealth.

They're still in Europe. What's on the other side of the tunnel, and where are

they going to go from here?

Let's go home.
