Previously on "The Walking Dead"...

My friends have been taken, removed from the Commonwealth.

Magna, Connie, Kelly, all of them.

Tell us where our friends are.

I'll show you.

I know the route the supply train takes to get there.

Commonwealth has a working train?

It's part of a plan...

Expand the Commonwealth's reach.

The only thing I've ever known is the fight.

There's so much we've done.

So much more to do.

But I want to believe there's hope.

That together, there's hope.

Isn't there?

Mom!

Hershel! Hershel!

Hey, hey. Hey.

Shh.

Shh.

Oh, shit!

Aah!

Aah!

Hey!

Hey, hey!

Hey! Hey!

Over here, over here.

You okay?

Been better.

You?

I've been worse.

Trooper 207 from Outpost 41 checking in.

No sign of 525 or the escapees. Over.

Copy that, 207.

This is 141.

Got a set of boot tracks.

Looks like they could be 525's.

Fuck.

Let's go.

Is everybody alright?

Ezekiel.

Are you hurt?

No.

Not since they...

How long were we out for? I don't know.

My neck's still sore from whatever they injected us with.

One of the trucks is missing.

No sign of Gabriel, Maggie, or Rosita.

They're unloading a bunch of stuff off the trucks.

Can you see the kids?

No.

I was in and out.

We stopped for a few minutes.

There was a crash.

You think that was them?

It fits.

They either bailed, or...

Or what?

Good morning, and welcome.

Today is the first day of a new beginning.

The world works when everyone knows their place.

Your place is at the bottom.

All of the resources that we use to bring the old world

back into the new and sustain it,

it all starts at places like this.

You should take comfort in knowing that good people

will benefit from your labor here.

That is your redemption.

That is your salvation.

Your children are safe and being attended to.

Play by the rules, you get to see them again.

In order to do that, you must work as one.

Here...

nobody has a name

because we have no need for them.

I'm not gonna tell you mine,

and you will not...

address each other by yours.

When I point at you, you stand up.

You exit the rear.

You.

Let's got! Let's go!

You.

You.

You, you.

You.

Gonna be okay.

You.

And you.

Let's go! Move!

I am gonna get us out of here.

All three of us.

I promise.

Step out, exile.

They are being transported to another site.

The rest of you will work until the tracks are clear.

Everybody up!

The work is hard,

but you'll be protected by our great Commonwealth.

And although you have been delivered from the paradise

of the Commonwealth,

take solace in knowing that it's better being here

than it is being out there... In the wastelands.

Alright, everyone! Get to work!

Let's go, let's go!

Come on, move!

Mom! Mom!

Hershel!

Left.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Hold up.

What's the plan here?

We're gonna follow the convoy wherever it goes.

And then what? There are two of us.

What, do we knock on the door and say,

"Can we see our daughter, please?"

Do you have a better idea?

I'm all ears.

Let's split up. We'll cover more ground.

No way. I'm not leaving you.

Then left. Come on.

Aah!

What is it? My arm is dislocated.

I need you to pop it back into place.

Come here. Take my arm, pull it out.

Okay. You're gonna have to put your leg right here.

Right here, come on.

Okay, on the count of 3.

1, 2, 3.

Okay.

We need to rest.

God, I should've never brought her here.

Come on. Don't do that.

Do what?!

Torture yourself. What good does it do?

What do you tell me when I beat myself up?

Quit bitching and move forward.

Quit bitching and move forward.

Okay?

Just take a breath.

Okay.

Is that a train?

That's a train.

Can't be a train.

There's six of 'em.

You think we can follow it without them seeing us?

I think we hang back far enough, we'll be fine.

They got Connie.

Guy's saying I have to put an exile on here.

It's a cargo transport and against regs.

Over.

It's been cleared from up on high.

She's not gonna be a worker. She's designation two.

Oh, shit.

Yeah, exactly.

Get her there safely.

Copy that.

What's "designation two"?

We can't go get her.

They'll radio ahead.

We'll go find the kids.

Hey.

We'll hang back, and we'll follow it to the others,

and we're gonna bust them out all at once.

Damn it!

Just get ahead of it.

Train's gotta hit that junction.

We should just sit tight until it does.

I don't think I can do that.

Do what?

Sit tight.

Daryl.

Hey.

When I saw Connie get on that train,

and I saw the door shut,

I thought the same thing that you did.

What's that?

The cave.

Do you remember what Kelly said the minute her sister was gone?

"We can't save them if we're dead."

We can play this however you want.

But if we go it alone,

we might be making the same mistakes again.

Alright.

Good.

141 checking in.

Crossing is clear. No sign of them.

Gonna move to the next area for our sweep.

Over. Copy 141.

Give it a double check. We need to find them.

No!

No.

It's alright.

141, finish up there.

They just ripped him away from me.

I wasn't strong enough.

I hate not knowing.

It's worse.

I shouldn't have...

I shou...

This is not on you. You are just one person.

Doesn't matter.

It's on me.

You know...

I barely saw Daryl

when I got my new job at The Commonwealth.

I barely saw anyone.

Just doing our own thing.

It was like the old world.

Back then, we never would've spoken to each other.

But after The Fall, we were forced to become family.

That's a good thing.

It's a gift that's held, even in that place.

They had to come at us when we were separated.

What does that say to you?

That we scare the shit out of Pamela.

Exactly. And she failed.

We're not alone any more, and we're gonna make it right.

Carol. Maggie!

How did you find us?

We heard a train.

Did you hear a train?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Where's Daryl? Is he with you?

He's inside.

Let me see.

You're running outta time.

I'm gonna ask you to please do something good

with the time you have left.

Where's that train going?

They put a friend of mine on it.

Said she was "designation two."

What's that mean?

You know, I was like you once.

I joined the force.

'Cause my family needed money.

I'm guessing that's your story, too.

They took my kids from me,

and I want them back.

You hear me?! Aah!

Train's gonna be here soon.

That's alright. We can hurry.

You wanna die quick?

Or you wanna die screaming?

I know you.

Every Sunday, back pew, closest to the door.

You'd always come a little late and leave a little early.

Seemed like you wanted to talk about something.

Does God forgive people like me?

I don't know.

I wish I did.

It's, like...

torn up all the time with guilt.

And shame.

Because you're a coward.

It's okay.

You're trying not to be.

Fear can make us do things that...

that bring shame.

Could also push us into the light.

And you're trying to do the right thing now.

He sees that.

I see it, too.

We all do.

I wish I'd talked to you sooner.

I wish you had, too.

People remember the last thing that you do.

The end of each story is very important.

How do you want yours to end?

They punish exiles by making them do hard labor.

Your friends are on railway duty.

Where?

I don't know.

They called me out when you escaped.

You'll have to follow the train to find out

where your friends are.

I've only heard rumors about designation two.

They're taken somewhere far away.

They're never seen again.

Will you help me?

And pray with me while I go?

Can you give us a minute?

If that train pulls in, Connie's gone.

If they see us coming, they're gonna radio ahead.

The best way for us to get the kids is with them

not knowing that we're coming.

We can't just leave her on there, though.

We won't. I think there's a way to do both.

Ah, excuse me.

Hey.

There's three guards.

We should run. We can make it to the trees.

Don't do anything.

They can't catch all of us.

Stop talking and keep working.

Hey. Don't mean to bother you, but...

my wife was one of the ones that left on the trucks.

I wonder if you could just tell me where she...

Ow!

You stop to eat. You stop to sleep.

Understood?

Understood.

Okay, now, go, go! Hurry!

Come on!

Ezekiel, let's go.

Runners!

They're heading in the trees!

Go!

Aah!

Everybody up!

Back to work!

Now!

Train 4 to Outpost 22. We got a stuck junction switch.

Gonna be a few minutes before we dislodge.

Over.

Train 4 to Outpost 22, come in.

Over.

Put it down.

Over there.

Hey! How hard could it be?

Come over here and I'll show you.

Asshole.

Come on, man.

Woods.

The flank.

Woods are cleared.

Heading back.

Easy. Quiet.

"How hard can it be?"

It's bent.

Somebody jammed this.

Everybody get back here now.

Does anyone copy?

Hey.

Drop it.

Drop it!

Crossbow, too.

You took out that antenna? Hmm?

Yeah.Yeah. You cut the wire or you shut it off?

Answer me!

You okay?

I do what you're asking, I'm dead.

You know what? You're dead if you don't.

Sit down.

My family lives at a nearby outpost.

Warden finds out I helped you...

I'll end up just like your friends.

They took our children.

You said you have a family?

I bet hehad a family.

There's a map.

Back at the train.

It's in the engine room.

Let's go.

Stay back!

Put it down.

I'll do it! Please.

I help you, my wife and two boys will die!

No, listen.

Just tell us where our people are, and we'll injure you.

N-Nothing serious. Just enough to make it look like...

Make it look like you barely got away,

and you can tell him you escaped.

He'll never know.

He'll know I lied!

He'll torture me when he finds out I did!

Then he'll kill my family.

Please... I can't!

I'm sorry!

No!

Don't turn around.

What do you want?

I want to get on the same page.

I stayed away from you for years.

For a reason.

Well, you need to shelve that shit.

Shi...

Melting people's faces with irons?

Coercing women into marrying you?

Slaughtering my people?

That shit I have notforgotten.

Nobody has.

Yeah, well, just so you know, I haven't forgotten, either.

And for the shit I've done,

I probably deserve to be in a place like this.

It fits.

But, Ezekiel, it doesn't fit you.

It doesn't fit the others, and it sure as hell

doesn't fit my wife and baby that's on its way.

Where did they take her?

I don't know.

But I need to find her.

I promised.

Look, man...

I am coming to you as a f...

Soon-to-be father and as a man who has led people.

We have got to put our shit aside and work together.

For everyone.

What are you thinking?

I know this Warden's playbook, using fear as a weapon.

You wanna scare people into an uprising?

That only works if you're the one holding the gun.

Fear's not gonna work.

But hope?

Hope will.

And that is your thing, Ezekiel.

It is definitely not mine.

This place thrives on separating people.

They're already breaking us down.

We have to unite folks, but...

But what?

We need a... a spark that reaches into their hearts

and wakes them up.

I don't know how to do that here.

We can barely talk to each other.

I can get you a spark.

But when I do...

You need to know that I doubt

that I'll be getting outta here with you.

What's that supposed to mean?

What are you talking about?

Back to work!

Back to work!

Now! You! Back to work.

Are you with me?

I'm with you.

For now.

We don't know.

Don't worry. We'll find Kelly.

We can go back to the train, get the long-range radio back up.

Come on.

Get the radio back up.

Alright, let's pack it in and load up!

Come on, you heard him! Let's go! Go!

Load up! Move it!

Alright, let's go! Move it along!

Move it along.

Outpost 22 this is 301, I need help.

The train was overtaken, and I'm in the woods, I'm lost.

They're still looking for me.

I-I need to get back to the site. Over.

Outpost 22, please.

I need help, over.

301, what was your original sit-rep and location?

Junction seven! I'm the last one left!

Damn. Copy that.

Don't worry. We'll get you home.

Do you still have your compass?

Yes. Good.

Head due north through the woods.

You'll eventually reach a breach.

After that, you'll be on a rough road.

That's Packard Avenue.

Gauge your direction, and head south.

Copy so far?

Yes, copy.

Eventually you'll hit highway 30.

Take it east.

Get off at Crooks.

Head down the road until you find a suburban neighborhood.

A section has been shored up and fortified with walls.

You'll see friendly faces in the guard tower.

When you get here, you'll take the northeast gate

closest to the railroad tracks,

and we'll have guards on the lookout for you.

Unfortunately, we don't have any spare units

to send out your way for a pickup.

We have a convoy coming in for colonial processing.

Governor's orders.

Open up.

22, did you say a convoy is coming in for reprocessing?

Yes, ma'am.

Word is that most of the processees used to live here

before the Commonwealth claimed the territory

and turned it into an outpost,

back when it was still called Alexandria.

The Warden will debrief you when you get to base.

In the meantime, keep an eye out

for any more hostiles on the road.

If you have to engage, shoot to kill.

Watch your six, and godspeed, 301.

Thanks, 22. I'll see you soon.

Milton has underestimated us since day one.

We are gonna get our kids, take back our home,

and make it right.

And Pamela's never gonna see it coming.

Negan!

It's bad. I don't think any of 'em are gonna make it.

We need to go in now.

This world is broken.

But we don't have to be.

I think Maggie has always had this kind of steadiness to her.

I think one of Maggie's great strengths

is that she has a very clear sense of

what she thinks is right and wrong,

and I think that there is

a selflessness about her in general.

To have that kind of clarity of purpose,

I think, does give her an advantage

when she's in a really difficult situation.

Ahh!

Oh!

Wait, wait a minute. Hold on.

What's the plan here?

I'm gonna follow the convoy wherever it goes.

And then what?

There are two of us.

What, do we knock on the door and say,

"Can we see our daughter, please?"

Do you have a better idea?

It's really fun to write for Rosita and Gabriel.

They have this kind of interesting relationship.

Let's split up. We'll cover more ground.

No way. I'm not leaving you.

Almost, like, unexpected love story that they had,

and then they broke up,

but they continue to work together really well.

It's really fun to see them in this scene

where they're in conflict.

You need to rest.

We're out of here.

Don't do that.

Do what?

Torture yourself. What good does it do?

You have, like, this really fun bond

that we enjoy kind of exploring further.

Is that a train?

That's a train.

I think for our characters, children Walkers

are particularly heartbreaking.

From the very first episode, from the pilot,

there is this reminder that zombies are not just monsters.

There is a tragic story behind every zombie.

Particularly when you see children Walkers,

there's this duality of, like,

"Look at this horrible monster,"

and yet, this was somebody's child.

And I think for Maggie particularly,

as she's looking for her son,

it's like this child Walker is haunting her,

and she ha a hard time killing it

because all those feelings of, like,

"This was somebody's child" are just holding her back from what

she would normally do without even giving it a thought.

They just ripped him away from me.

I wasn't strong enough.

We really wanted to have a Carol and Maggie scene,

because a lot of times, they are sort of like

their own leads in separate storylines.

I hate not knowing.

It's worse.

I think it's interesting when two people

like Carol and Maggie, who have kind of different ways

of dealing with problems, different worldviews,

different kind of philosophies of leadership sometimes,

but in spite of all those differences,

they are still family.

They love each other, trust each other,

and care for each other deeply.

This is not on you.

You are just one person.

Doesn't matter.

It's on me.

We really feel like the story is about this family

that they've built over time.

Well, you're not alone anymore.

We're gonna make it right.

Don't turn around.

We loved the idea of really putting Negan and Ezekiel

together for the first time in a very long time.

What do you want?

I want to get on the same page.

Ezekiel really hasn't had much of a reckoning with Negan,

and Negan and his Saviors killed the majority of

Ezekiel's Kingdom group.

I stayed away from you for years

for a reason.

Well, you need to shelve that shit.

Sh...

When he looks at Negan, he sees somebody

who has gotten to skate by.

That shit, I have not forgotten.

Why does he get to just live his life,

after everything that he did?

And for the shit I've done, I probably deserve

to be in a place like this.

It fits.

We have got to put our shit aside and work together.

This is just kind of the start of a little bit

of an arc for them, but I do think that for Ezekiel,

he deserves to express his anger.

Horrible things happened to him at the hands of the Saviors,

and he's not over it.

Back to work!

No, you. Back to work.

You with me?

I'm with you.

For now.

Learning that their old home of Alexandria

has just been taken over by the Commonwealth completely

and turned into a hard labor facility,

it brings a personal level of just,

"Well, we have to fix this situation" to it.

To add insult to injury,

they did this to our home that they were helping us rebuild.

For them, it definitely just kind of

lights a fire under them to fight that much harder.

Milton has underestimated us since day one.

We are gonna get our kids,

take back our home,

and make it right.

And Pamela is never gonna see it coming.
