Previously, on
"The Walking Dead"...

I got her! Let's go!

Hey Maggie.

We were gonna
lose everything.

Negan's the reason
we didn't.

You attacked our home,
killed my friends, our family!

Who are you?!

So this is home
sweet home.

Yeah...

it is.

Come on.

*THE WALKING DEAD*
Season 11 Episode 01

Episode Title:
"Acheron: Part I"

Come on, boy!

Mom! Mom!

Cole has a surprise!

Guess who
this cat dragged in.

Agatha!

Oh!

Can't get rid of us
that easy, kid.

Shoulders.

I missed you,
too, man.

It's good
to see you, Mags.

Good to
see you, too, Duncan.

I thought
you guys were dead.

We thought
the same about you.

When we got to Meridian,
we, uh...

well, we figured
if you were still alive,

you'd be here.

That him?

- For my family, man!
- Hey!

Hey, break it up.

- Come on.
- That's mine, alright? I said break it up.

Come on.

Everyone calm down.

There's enough food
for everyone.

One week.

That's it?
In that last run, just a week?

We can make it work.

How?

We just took in
two new communities.

We have no crops,
no back stock.

We can get there.

Got people
out there right now,

scavenging houses
for materials.

And they're
slowing down.

It's a little hard
to put up a wall

with broken tools
and an empty stomach.

Our people
are good hungers.

Frost and I
could take a group out.

Ground's all spent.

The last big horde
scared all the animals away.

We can find
new territory.

We don't have time.
We need food.

Lots of it.
Now.

I know one more place.

The place I lived before this.

Where we lived.

Meridian.

It's got plenty of food,
water, crops, and animals.

Yeah,
and now it's gone.

So, what happened
out there?

We were on a mission.

Leading walkers away.

Duncan, Agatha, and Frost

took the last shift
at the front of the herd.

Going miles out.

I circled back
with Elijah, Cole.

On the way back home,
things kept going sideways

and we got stuck
out on the road.

Looking back now, I don't think
that was an accident.

All of a sudden, we heard
these screams in the distance.

We raced back home.

But it was too late.

Most of our people
had been slaughtered.

And the rest of us
barely got away with our lives.

The people
that attacked us...

We only knew
two things about them.

They come at night,

and by the time you see them,
you're already dead.

That was before
we caught one.

Daryl was with me.

He came after us alone.

Why?

Because there aren't
that many of them.

They're at Meridian now.

There's plenty of food
to feed Alexandria

'til we get this place
back up and running again.

That's why they took it.

We just need to take it back.

So... you're leaving
to fight ghosts.

That's the plan?

You have a better one?

Shore up Alexandria,
for starters.

The walls
are not stable.

Walkers will
get inside.

That's not if,
it's when.

Alexandria needs us.

This is
for Alexandria.

My son is here.

I have skin in the game, too.

Yeah, but if
they slaughtered everyone once,

what the hell makes
this situation any different?

Duncan, Agatha, and Frost
are Meridian's best fighters,

and now I have them.

And hopefully,
some of you, too.

Maggie, this sounds like
a suicide mission.

Well,
if we don't have food,

it's not
gonna matter, anyway.

I'll go.

Anybody else?

Alright.

Negan, how much longer
'til we're through the city?!

Well,
we got about six hours!

We should hunker down,
wait for this to pass!

You don't get a vote,
asshole!

Ah, he's right.
We need to find some shelter.

No!
We don't have time!

We can't
stay out in this.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Alright.
Which way?

Not to sound like
a broken record,

but I think
we ought to take a breath,

hunker down,
and wait for this storm to pass.

You don't wanna
go in there?

No, I don't.

I don't give
a shit.

Which way?

Yellow line north.

Switch to blue
at Reagan National,

then hop the red
toward Bethesda.

Come on.
Let's go.

Hey,
can I talk to you?

Why's that?

You think we're buddies
or something?

Come on.

Come on, boy.

What the hell was that?

The storm's pushing air
through the pipes,

making them groan.

It's nothing serious.
We're good.

Know what that noise
actually is?

That is God,
telling us to turn around.

I'm pretty sure He would have
ran that by me first.

Yeah?

The Good Lord direct
your one eyeball to this?

Water-line mark.

That means this tunnel floods
on a regular basis,

like when it rains.

It's bad down here.
It's worse up there.

Look, man,
all I am saying...

And it ain't working.

You trying
to run shit.

Keep moving.

Come on.

Dog!

You're in on it.

Eugene Porter?

Yes.

That is my given moniker,
yes.

There's no need to be nervous,
Mr. Porter.

Not if
you're honest with us.

Those who know me,
know me to be an honorable gent.

If you're
inferring something

from my manner of speaking,
well...

that's just how I roll.

Verbally, that is.

We are Auditors
for the Commonwealth,

and you are under
Level One Assessment.

If you pass inspection,
you'll move to Level Two.

What if we don't
pass inspection?

You will go through
re-processing.

What's re-processing?

We should start
the assessment.

What did your parents do
for a living?

My father was
a mechanical engineer, and...

My mother
taught Sunday school.

You mean
deadbeat loser number one

or raging prick number two?

What did you do
for a living?

I was a zookeeper.

I worked
at a music store.

Lawyer.
What is your alma mater?

What's the relevance?
It's just procedure, ma'am.

I attended Oxford
for my bachelor's,

Harvard for Law.

Highest level
of schooling?

Three years at the
University of North Carolina.

You didn't graduate?

- I had to leave due to a...
- So, no?

What was
your zip code?

How can anyone possibly
be expected to remember that?

From 1978 to 1984,
it was 75001.

From 1984 to 1996,
it was 76244-0361.

From latter half
of 1996 through...

What were the results
of your last routine physical?

Uh... I-I don't think
I've had one.

Have you ever been vaccinated
for measles?

Would you like
the dates?

Any history of cancer?

None.

Tell me about
the goiter.

It's a benign growth.
I've had it since childhood.

Where did you get the cash
we found on you?

The $2 bill?

Tell us exactly
where you got it.

Uh, so,
when I was 15,

my first job
was at Missy Moose's Pizzeria.

- You know, the...
- You can skip to the end.

When I cashed my paycheck
at the bank,

I asked for a $2 bill
so I could keep it,

because it was the first money
I'd ever earned.

When we're done
with these questions,

can I get
my $2 back?

Have you ever
been arrested?

- No.
- No.

- Yeah, but it wasn't me.
- Wasn't me. Yes, during a student protest.

- History of drug use?
- Define "drug".

I was a proud
founding member

of the anti-drug and alcohol
coalition at my high school.

How many bowel movements
do you have a day?

Excuse me?

- What do you use to wipe?
- Pass.

Why were you
at the train station?

I was on the road
with my traveling companions,

Ezekiel and Yumiko...

...for years,
wandering from place to place.

We ran
into Princess...

...I helped them out.
They loved me.

I decided
to stick with 'em.

We were holed up at a place
that had a working radio.

Stephanie and I
made a connection.

We wanted to meet,

but my friends were worried,
so I...

...pretended like there were
more of us than there really are.

- And that's how we wound up at the rail yard.
- So we wound up at the rail yard.

I would really like
to speak with Stephanie.

Do you consider yourself
a fundamentally honest person?

Yes.
Of course.

- Yes.
- Hell yeah.

Did your mother
work outside the home?

I told you.
Grace Baptist Church.

What's the location
of your settlement?

You already
asked that one.

What was your highest level
of education attainment?

- Location of your settlement?
- What settlement?

Have you run into
any groups out there?

We've had some
negative encounters.

How lucky are you
and why?

What?

Location
of your settlement.

Do you think
this is funny?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Are you in charge?

You've been
standing there,

not saying a damn word
like you're the man in charge.

Yeah.

I'm in charge.

Do you think
that I fear you?

You look scared
to me.

What did you do
before the fall?

Let me guess.
Asshole beat cop.

That's why this fascist crap
comes so easy to you.

Look at you.

All they had to do
was give you

a pumpkin
colored space suit

and you're back
to power tripping

with your head up your own ass,
just like before.

You think I was some
"power tripping cop"?

The shoe fits.
But honestly, I don't care.

You've been asking us
the same damn questions

over and over
for seven hours straight.

I've been cooperative.

My people
have been cooperati...

Thirsty?

I'm fine.

You told off
their leader?

I was
asserting myself.

Perhaps I could've
handled it better, but...

I didn't like
the way they talked to me.

Ezekiel,
do they know...

No.
They don't know.

Gonna be fine.

They seem obsessed
with our medical histories.

- They might not let you...
- I said don't worry about it.

We gotta pull the rip cord
on this.

Yes.

Yes.
Thank you.

This place is...

I don't even know
what this place is.

And does anyone else think

the Commonwealth
might not be real?

Yes, Yumiko.
Thank you.

I assumed you would
think otherwise, but...

It doesn't matter. Never mind.
Time to get out. We gotta...

No, no, no, no.

Please, hold...
Hold onto your horses.

Look...
they're asking

admittedly strange
and intrusive questions,

but in
a polite manner,

and this gruel is not
the worst thing I've ever eaten.

Stephanie warned me
up front

that her people
were uber-cautious.

Michonne...
Our Michonne...

Shut people out from Alexandria
for years.

This is a test.

We have to hunker down
and level up.

Maybe we should just get honest
with the "heat".

- Oh, you mean the solider-cops?
- No. No.

Yeah, that's funny.
No.

You really want these guys
rolling up to Hilltop

or Alexandria
with their machine-gun swords?

Apologies.

Our people need help,

and... I-I think
these people can give it.

Excuse me?

Uh,
sorry to bother,

but... you mind me asking
how long you've been here?

- Four... four months.
- Nine.

It's been nine,
remember?

Right. Yeah.
The... the re-processing...

But... but it feels like things
are finally...

I'm sorry.
What do you mean?

Wait. Wait!

Wait, no!
No!

No!

Stop! Stop!

Wait! Wait!

What did I do?

Where are
you taking me?

Re-processing.

Okay,
we gotta go.

Oh.

Why didn't it
make any noise?

Throat's slashed so deep
it almost severed his head.

The guys we're going after
do this?

No.

These people were killed
during the fall.

All of 'em?

What?

We're walking through
a mass grave

that could still
be in use.

So,
I am asking you...

Are you sure all of them
were killed during the fall?

Take each one out.

Clear the path.

- Maggie, hold up...
- We're not stopping.

Kid!

Pay attention
so we don't miss any more.

Pay attention?

That's it?
That's...

that's your new
big plan?

Tell me, Maggie,
anything in particular

we should be
paying attention to?

I'm real close to shoving a gag
in your mouth.

Well,
why don't you

get up on your little tippy toes
and try?

Cut it out.
Both of you.

This kid almost died.

You don't give a shit
about that kid.

No,
shedoesn't give a shit.

She has been playing dictator
since we left,

not listening to me,
not listening to him.

Hell, not even
listening to you.

We don't know
if this tunnel

even has a way
out.

Whoever
or whatever

killed these rot bags

could still
be down here.

Has that thought crossed
anyone's mind?

Exactly.
It has.

So, then this
is a death march,

and you are
the goddamn pied piper.

Now, y'all wanna roll with
that shit, that's fine.

Knock yourselves out.

But not me.
Not today.

I am out.

Me, too.

What?

He... he's a dick,
but... he makes sense.

Yeah, we shouldn't have
come down here.

We're not splitting up.

It ain't up to you.
"Buddy".

Just let him go.

He's supposed to be
helping us,

but all he's doing
is slowing us down.

- We can't.
- Why not?

We need him.
He knows the city.

Oh, is that
why I'm here?

I-I'm your
DC tour guide?

What, nobody here know
how to read a goddamn map?

I'll tell you why I'm here,
man-tits.

She brought me here
to die.

If we get through this,
I'm not coming back.

She'll find a way,
she'll find a reason,

she'll do it herself.

Away from the prying eyes
of Alexandria.

Here in the jungle.

Man, I really thought
you were in on it.

I did.

But see, I can tell from
that glazed look in your eyes,

you didn't have
a clue.

None of you did.

You're paranoid.

But I'm right.

Look, you all want
to put your lives

in her hands?

Her head
isn't even in the game

because I'm in her head,
living rent-free.

So, Maggie,
me dying on your terms,

it ain't happening.

So,
what do you say?

Let's just
get her done.

Right here
and right now.

Because I am not gonna let you
drag me through the mud,

filth, and slime
to put me down like a dog.

Like Glenn was.

We're down here
because up top is death.

We're moving fast
because our kids are starving.

And I'm
calling the shots

because that's
how everyone voted.

As for me
killing you...

It's always
on my mind.

I'm not gonna tell you
that you're wrong about me,

because you aren't.

The woman who left
six years ago

is not the one
standing over you now.

There's a little bit of her
left in me,

and that little bit
is the only thing

keeping you
breathing.

But I don't know
how long that's gonna last.

So keep pushing me,
Negan.

Please.

What do you think,
Princess?

Princess.

Princess.

- I'm sorry, what?
- Ideas?

How to get
past the guards.

Oh, yeah.
Not yet.

What?
What are you looking at?

Livits and Zell
are at it again.

- What and who-who?
- You know, the two

that are always
flirting with each other.

The big guy...
Livits.

The skinny one...
Zell.

You know their names?

- Yeah.
- You can tell them apart?

- You can't?
- Okay, we're wasting time.

Hold on.
Princess,

how can you tell them apart,

and... and why do you believe
that those two are flirting?

Oh, I dunno.

I overheard stuff
when were on the wagon,

and I remember things
about people, you know?

Like,
Zell is from Cleveland.

Livits hurt his leg,
so he favors the left one.

Sorsensen smokes.
He doesn't like Garcia.

That's the guy
with the bladder problems.

I always used to ask him
if I needed a pee break

when we were
driving here.

Oh, and
Livits and Zell are having sex,

but they don't want anyone
to know.

They're not
looking at each other.

Yeah,
but it's obvious

from the way they're
not looking at each other

that they're jonesing
for it.

They, uh, change shifts
every six hours.

Whenever they're on break,
one of them takes off,

and then three minutes later,
the other one disappears, too.

Gone for about an hour,
mas o menos.

Probably most of the time
is spent

taking off
their armor.

Oh.

Uh-huh.

What was the result
of your last routine physical?

I don't understand
these questions!

What are you
talking about?

Hey!

Where are you taking
those two?

Yeah, that's what
I'd like to know!

This is bullshit!
We have rights!

Re-processing.

Move along.

A wall of the lost.

We have a straight shot
to the back gate,

but we gotta
go now.

Yumiko!

- Let's go, let's go!
- No.

Mira.

Isn't that you?

Yumiko!

I...

I have to stay.

Shit.

Need a battery swap.

Gage?

- Gage?
- Roy?

Has anyone seen them?

They took our supplies.

Ammo clips, rations...

Oh, great.
That's just great.

It's this asshole's fault.
He scared them off.

Shh!

Listen.

Alright.
Cut them off.

We'll clear the rest.
Agatha!

- Blocked.
- Here, too.

Hold this.
Let me try.

Fall back!
Now!

Go! Go!

- Go!
- Can we get around it?

It's a choke point.

We don't know
what's on the other side.

Up top.

Go, all the way up.

Go, man. Up top.
On top of the platform.

Go. Hurry.

Come on, man, get up.

All the way up to the top.
Go!

Come here, boy.

Dog! No!
Come here! Dog!

Go. Let's go.
Let's go.

Meet me
at the next platform.

Daryl, wait. I'll be fine. Go.

Daryl, wait!
Dog!

Dog! Dog!

Negan!

Where's Maggie?

She was right behind me.

And then we just keep going.

- Ezekiel's gone.
- Someone took him!

For the last time,
just stick to the story.

Hey! Dog! Come here!

Dog!

I did what needed
to be done.

Sync corrections by srjanapala

This first shot,
on Daryl's wings...

It just feels right to kind of
start this season on Daryl.

There's this big story line that

he's helming
for this first block.

And I think that that
angel-wing vest

with the modifications that
Judith made in the last season,

there's something
that's so emblematic about it.

I think it speaks a lot to the
person that Daryl wants to be,

and there's times when
those angel wings

have gotten destroyed.

There are times when
it's been built back up.

And so we love that image,
and it just felt like

the right thing to kind of
start the story on.

So, we have seen lurkers on
"The Walking Dead" before,

but we just haven't really done

a big lurker
action sequence like this.

They're the type of
zombies that

just seem like they're dead,

and, suddenly, they'll wake out
of this sort of dormant state.

They are a big part of
the mythology of the comic book.

Most walkers are roamers.

They are the ones that just...
They move and move and move,

constantly in search of food.

We thought it would be really
fun to just feature the lurkers,

where the danger is, how many of
those bodies down there

are actually dead,
how many of them might be alive,

and how do you avoid
kind of, like,

stirring up that hornet's nest?

So, it's definitely always
been part of the mythology

but not one that we've used
very much until now.

It was really fun to do
this action sequence and see our

amazing women do the fight.

That idea really
came about because

if you're gonna send people
down into a building,

you want to send
the lightest people.

And why not do,
like, a super-cool sequence

with the women and start off
the season that way?

It was really, really fun
to see them kick ass

I think what's really important
to keep in mind

when we're talking about
our characters

and the debate about
whether to go to Meridian

is that they have
just come out of

this massive war
with The Whisperers.

And it just was devastating
for their communities.

So they're still just
licking their wounds

and trying to pick
themselves back up.

There are people that wound up
homeless, basically,

and had to be taken in
as refugees.

So the idea of kind of traveling
a distance,

going to face these people,
when they are practically starving,

for some of our people, it just
feels like it's bad trade.

Why not try to fix those walls

and find the food
closer to home?

For Maggie, of course
she wants to help our people,

but is there this element of
revenge that's driving her, too?

Does she want to take it back
just to get the food

or does she want to take it back
because she's angry about

what happened and because
the people from Meridian

are kind of pushing her?

So, I think, really, there are
multiple sides to the issue,

and I personally don't feel like

any character is wrong
in this scenario.

You know, it's just really
a matter of,

what are the different things
that need to be done

to keep everyone safe?

And I think people come down on
different sides of it

and have reasonable opinions
on either side.

Well, if you
don't have food,

then it's not gonna
matter anyway.

I'll go.

Anybody else?

In the subway, we really
loved that feel of, like,

the long corridors
that you're sneaking around,

and it's just...
It's dark and it's dank,

and there are
things moving and lurking.

That was something that we
particularly love.

Whenever we do
an environment on the show,

especially if it's something
that's as featured

as the subway, we want to tell
a little bit of the story

of what was there before,

you know, or, like,
what has happened since.

And I think, for us,
we were really thinking about

stories of people who are
homeless living in subways,

and there's
a real story about class

which runs through
what happens in a subway.

And it's also a place where
people from a variety of classes

crash into each other
as they're going to work

or they're kind of
going about their lives.

That, thematically,
is very important for us

for the entire season.

So we thought we'd take this
opportunity in the first episode

where we wanted to do the subway
'cause we thought that that

was cool and scary
and we just...

We haven't done something in
a subway before on the show.

So we're always looking to
kind of mix that up.

But we thought like, "You know,
there is this opportunity

to tell this story about
high and low

and the mix of people that
kind of crashed into each other

at the beginning of
the apocalypse.

We are walking through
a mass grave

that could
still be in use.

She has been playing

dictator
since we left.

Maggie and Negan...

There's just no
love lost between them.

They don't trust each other.

And why should they, you know,

given the history that has
preceded them up to this point.

After Glenn was killed
in front of Maggie

and he just seemed to find
such glee in that,

I don't feel that Maggie
is at a place

where she thinks she's ever
going to forgive this person.

And I think, for Negan's part,
he feels like

he's been on a journey
to try to redeem himself,

and it's been a bumpy one,
you know?

I mean, this is not a person who
is, by any means, perfect.

I think there's
a lot of times that he is

definitely in a gray area, maybe
even still in a villainous area.

But he's trying, and she has not
been privy to a lot of that.

And so he feels like her view of
him is stuck back when

she came and was going to,
as a vigilante, take him out.

And she just left him
to rot in jail.

So I think, on either side,

the lack of trust
is absolutely warranted.

Like, if you were Negan,
of course

you think she's gonna
try to take you out.

She did it once.
Why wouldn't she do it again?

And I think, for Maggie's part,
I think she recognizes,

very reluctantly,
that this is a person who is

formidable
and can be a resource,

but she doesn't trust him.

So I think, like, they're really
starting out the season

just as far apart
as they can possibly be.

Keep pushing
me, Negan.

Please.

In our first view of how
the Commonwealth handles things,

our people basically going
through a detention center,

which is, like,
prior to coming into

the walls of the Commonwealth.

For the interrogation, we wanted
this sense of a few things.

Like, one, that our people
are going through

this really horrific sort of
repetitive, strange process.

We also wanted to show that they

were good liars and had clearly

come up with some sort of story,
maybe on the wagon ride over.

But they have decided
that they're gonna tell a lie,

which is probably smart,

given how hardcore
this group is.

Do you consider yourself a
fundamentally honest person?

- Yes. - Of course.
- Yes. - Hell yeah.

We sort of thought,
early on, like,

"You know, maybe this would be
a time to try a split screen."

It's not something that has been
part of the visual language

of this show up to this point.

But it felt like it
was right for this moment.

And I think, like, we got some
really great moments out of it.

Have you ever
been arrested?

- No.
- No.

- Yeah, but it wasn't me.
- Yes.

- It wasn't me.
- During a student protest.

Do you
think this is funny?

Yeah.

Our people find themselves
in the uncomfortable position

of being wannabe
immigrants or refugees

into whatever this place
winds up being.

I don't think they have a really
good sense yet of what it is,

but what they're seeing are just
these kind of odd clues

that perhaps the Commonwealth
is both like and unlike

a world that they once knew
before the apocalypse.

And so, you know,
they see this wall of the lost,

and we've seen things like that
just in the real world.

When there's a major disaster,

people are looking
for their loved ones.

And that comes straight out
of the comic book.

And I think Kirkman took
inspiration from similar things,

where there's this
real sadness to think about

how many people were lost

during even this
fictional zombie apocalypse.

It's just that reminder,
once again, that any community,

at this point in the story,
is comprised of people

who have lost so, so much.

And so that's gonna drive
the decisions

they make about how to move on.

I have to stay.

The final scene
with Negan and Maggie...

I think we were really
interested in the idea of just

pushing the conflict between
them as far as possible.

Negan... that guy's a survivor,

and if he thinks somebody
is out to kill him,

then, you know, I don't know
that he's actively trying to

get rid of her, but he's an
opportunist, as well,

so he sees this opportunity
to just not help,

even if that effectively means
he's okay with

letting her fall to her death,
possibly.

For us, it was always about
this character moment

of these two people that
hate each other

and don't trust each other.

And when you're
in an extreme situation,

do you step up
and help unexpectedly,

which is usually, like,
what we see our characters do,

or do you let kind of, like,

the worst version of
things happen?

We just thought
that it was interesting

to push them to that point.

Negan!
