Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Not Fade Away - full transcript

Another one burnt last night -
it's better than TV.

People outside the fence - they
took the last ones four days ago.

People, just like us,
run like cattle,

piled into trucks,
one suitcase apiece, headed east.

At least that's the rumor.

Bakersfield, Vegas... Who knows?

It's safe inside the fence.

Outside, everything is dead.
Everyone is gone.

This is day nine.

Nine days
since the lights went out

and that fence went up...



...and our little green friends
moved in.

Travis says we're the lucky ones.

He would throw those dudes a parade
if they would let him.

And look,

we are grateful to our saviors,

to the ones who protect us,

to those who know...

...when it's feeding time at the zoo.

There's nothing you'll ever take
that nature won't take back.

It all belongs to her again.

And the dogs and the dead, and the...

Hello!

Hey!
We have to repaint the family room.

We did it last week.



I know. It needs a new coat. Travis
found some more paint in the garage.

- What's the point?
- Semi-gloss... What? Excuse me?

No one is coming to the open house.
The market has taken a turn.

I can still see the stains.

Hey! Did you see the ocean?

What...? Still not on...

They probably don't want to strain
whatever is left of the grid.

Don't worry.

We're going to get it sorted!
Oh, my God.

Where are you going?

Moyer's... He's making some kind of
announcement and asked me to attend.

Well, we wouldn't want to upset him,
would we?

Okay...

What's the problem?

- How much time do you have?
- Maddy?

My house is a refugee camp,

my daughter's room
is an ICU unit for strangers,

someone has to cook,
someone has to clean,

someone has to watch Nick,
and that someone somehow is me,

because your ex-wife is gone.

She's helping sick people.
Is this about Liza?

- What? No, it's about you!
- Me?

Yeah, you run off

to play man of the people
with your soldier friends...

- This is not easy...
- Stop, stop! Oh, my God.

Just stop it!

This domestic bickering
like it's normal,

that you're normal people
in a normal kitchen...

It's not normal. Stop it.
Stop acting like it is.

Are you ready to go?

Please.

Do it.

Come on. Just do it!

Come on.

Chris? What do you think
you're doing? Get down here.

- Dad, you've got to see this.
- Now! I want you to help Madison.

- Okay, just look at this.
- I don't have time for...

Just five seconds. Look.

There. Do you see that?

- See what? What am I looking at?
- It's like a light or a glint.

But they said
there's nothing alive out there.

Okay. Come inside.

- There's someone out there.
- There's no one out there.

It's just the sun
has caught some reflection.

You've got to stop.

Alright?

Come on.

I found this on the counter.

Oh! Yeah, I guess I forgot.

Oh, you forgot?

Yeah.

I guess I did.

- Okay, here it is.
- Oh, no thanks. I'm good.

I don't think that's the best idea.

I've got to kick it.
That's the whole point.

Nick, come on.

- Nick...
- Give it to Griselda.

She needs it more than me.
You said so yourself.

I know what I said, but the point
is to wean you off of it slowly,

so it just doesn't, you know,
happen again.

I thought you'd be happy.

I am happy. I just...

Okay, well, if you need it,
it's right here.

- Don't be a hero.
- No chance of that.

- Hey, Mom!
- Yeah?

Are you okay?

Enjoy your swim.

Alright, listen up here, folks!

As Commanding Officer
of this detachment,

I am proud to announce

that we are infect-free

for a 6-mile radius
around this perimeter.

We are on the offensive.
The tide has most definitely turned.

Yeah.

Alright, Command asked
that I read from the following -

be advised the DZ remains off limits

while hazmat teams dispose
of any biohazardous materials.

- What biohazardous material?
- I need to read this.

- You need to listen.
- When will you get the phones up?

Anyone attempting to compromise

or circumvent the perimeter
of this camp will be detained.

Are we being relocated?

This is a secure position,
so you'll stay put.

Curfew will remain in effect
until further notice.

The new health screening policy
will continue.

Sanitation, water treatment
and other services will return

as we approach total containment.

We need medicine. What about that?

We are working on that.
Keep boiling that water.

You will also find several iodine
tablets in your weekly rations.

And the people outside the fence?
Where did you move them?

Alright. Folks, listen!

You are in one of 12 safe zones

south of the Saint Gabriel's, okay?

So you guys are the lucky ones.

You guys, you get to stay in your
homes, ride this thing out, alright?

So relax! Count your blessings.

Be nice!
So I don't have to shoot you.

Yeah.

What's your name, miss?

- Alicia Clark.
- Oh, Clark. Yeah, right here.

Hi.

Ofelia Salazar.

Oh, could you spell that for me?

S-A-L-A...

You're not even looking.

Yeah, here it is. Ofelia.

- Mr. Manawa?
- Yes, sir.

A word, please.

Come on!

- Have a nice day!
- You too!

One case per family.

The guy who lives here
with the covered car - Thompson...

- Doug Thompson? Yeah.
- Yeah.

So he won't do the screening.

His wife thinks for some reason maybe
you can talk some sense into him.

I don't really know him.

We had a beer once, and he showed me
this car he was rebuilding.

Are you a gearhead?

I kept my father's Ford going
for over 30 years.

30 years? That is so great.
Can you help me or not?

It's just...
I don't really know the guy.

Okay. Okay, the thing is
that I'm trying to avoid a situation.

So either you're going to go in
and talk him down,

or I'm going to go in
and take him down.

Yeah, or no?

- Okay.
- Good.

Gloves on. Let's go.

How long has he been in there?

He was acting strange yesterday
and then at dinner, he...

Maria, how long?

Since then, since dinner last night.

The soldiers wanted to talk to him,
but I thought...

I thought it would be better
if it was someone he knew.

He likes you so much, so...

Doug?

What's going on?

Hey, Trav.

You're worrying your family, man.

I know that.

But I don't think I can do it.

Do what?

- Take it easy. Take it easy.
- They keep asking what's happening.

They keep asking me if everything
is going to be okay and...

I don't have the words.

It is going to be okay.

That's what you say.

That's all you have to say.

Will they know that I'm lying?

Doug, your family needs you.

Now.

They need you to go outside that door

and tell that guard
that you'll be okay,

show them that you're okay.

That's all.

FOR MY SU-SU
LOVE ALICIA

Hang in there, buddy.

Hey, handsome.

I've got to go.

You have plenty ofjuice
for the night, okay?

He's stable.

Morphine's helping.

You can't stay? I made some soup.
The squash from my garden...

- I have other people to check on.
- Please, take some with you.

You must have seen a lot of people
like Hector at the hospital...

Yes.

Take it.

I don't know what I would have done.

Hector is all I have.

Thank you.

Thank you, Liza. See you tomorrow.

- Why show me that?
- Did you see it?

I mean, why not show your dad?

I tried. He just...
said it wasn't anything.

Maybe he's right. It could be
just a piece of metal or a window.

Or, I don't know.

Look, there's a pattern, okay?

Someone's out there.

A human someone, who needs our help.

- We don't know that.
- What else could it be? Why else...?

If someone needs help,
they go to the soldiers.

Perhaps they can't.

Or they won't.

Do you see it?

Three Two Echo,
this is Bravo Actual.

Standing by for a sit rep. Over.

Three Two Echo,
this is Bravo Actual.

Do you have to get that?

...standing by. Over.

He'll leave a message.

You're in my head all day.

I can't concentrate.

Maybe we should
just slow down a little.

Right. Yeah, we should.

- I'm sorry.
- No, it's...

No. It's okay. I just...

I like you, Ofelia. That's all.

You're the only thing that makes me
believe there's still good in people.

Hey,

of course there is.

Hey...

Did you get the medicine?

I tried. I asked the corpsman.

What did he say?

They've got it all locked down tight.

I guess they're stockpiling for
the big push to take the city back.

It's just that
my mom's really sick, so...

Yeah, I know that.

Three Two Echo. Where the hell is...?

Sorry.

Please advise.

Bravo Actual, this is Three Two Echo.
Finishing patrol.

Heading back.

Was that makeup sex?

We've got to fight more.

Hey! What's the hurry?

I thought that was nice.

It was.

But I've got things to do.

Can't they wait?

Come here.

Come back.

What's going on?

I don't know.

There's no news from anywhere.

Vivian said she heard soldiers
talking about quarantine camps

out near Barstow.

I mean... I don't know.

- She's a gossip, but...
- No, I meant with you.

What's going on with you?

I mean, you're buzzing around here
all day, every day,

driving yourself nuts.

I mean, you hover, clean,
watch Alicia and Nick like a hawk...

Nick needs to be watched.

Yeah, I know.

Still...

If we're exchanging parenting tips,

you might want to
pay more attention to Chris.

Oh, okay. I mean, all I do all day
is pay attention to...

Positive attention.

Alright.

How come I feel like
I've been called into your office?

I missed you.

He showed me the video
he took from the roof.

Jesus! That kid has got a world-class
imagination, you know that?

I saw it, too.

- I did.
- Yeah?

Okay.

What did you see?

I don't know, like a...

Like a light.

- Like someone reflecting the sun.
- Great. You saw a light.

What am I supposed to do with that?

Go to Moyers and say, what?

"My kid saw a light,
so your soldiers...?

"Tell them to drop their duties..."

That is their duty. It's nine days...
What have they done?

They promised medicine, doctors,
electricity, information.

Where is it? What about the phones?

Don't you wonder
why they can't get a landline?

No. Maybe they have something
bigger to worry about.

Maybe they don't want
the phones to work.

Oh, babe. Are you listening
to yourself talk? You're paranoid.

I don't want to encourage this
with Chris. You shouldn't, either.

So you did see it.

Travis!

- It's Maria.
- Travis!

Maria?

What are you doing out?
It's past curfew.

- So shoot me.
- What's wrong?

Doug's gone.
I was in the house with the girls.

- I don't know where he went.
- Calm down. Breathe.

He's missing.
What did you say to him?

I didn't say anything.

He took his stupid, precious car
and I don't know where he went.

- Let's take the girls in.
- They stay with me.

I'm sure he's OK.
He'll be clearing his head somewhere.

We can't drive inside the fence.
It's not allowed.

I know, I know.

- I understand.
- What if he...? Oh, my God.

Look, just don't go there, please.
I'm going to find him.

I'll find your dad, alright?

We'll find him. Yeah?
Come on. I'll walk you home.

Shit!

Christ! I hooked it.

His wife's worried he went over.

I'm just asking that
you send out one patrol.

- He hasn't been missing long.
- He's not missing.

We pulled Doug Thompson last night.

We found him by the fence balling his
eyes out in his damn muscle car.

That guy... Man, he is...

He's a head case.

Can't have that around camp.

Goddamnit!

Don't look at me like that! It's not
my order, but I agree with it.

You should, too.
You talked to that guy, didn't you?

Did he seem okay to you?

- No.
- No. So what are we talking about?

Thompson gets the help
he desperately needs

back at headquarters.

I don't have to worry about some guy
going psycho inside the fence.

That's a win-win.

You could have
notified his wife, sir.

I'm not a social worker.
That's your job, Mr. Mayor.

But you go ahead. Notify away.

What?

My son... He saw a light in the DZ,
up on the hillside.

There's nothing alive there.
He didn't see anything.

We... We went house to house.

Block by block.

I know. Forget it.

I already did.

Oh, that's muddy!

Cynthia?

Liza! There you are.

Where's Hector?

Getting the care he needs.

- Who are you?
- I'm Dr. Exner.

She's from the government.

Cynthia has told me all about you.

Oh.

What did she tell you?

That you're the reason why
her husband's alive.

That you're a good nurse.

Nurse practitioner -
that's basically a doctor.

Where did you take Hector?

Sit down.

I want to see him.

Cynthia was kind enough
to show me this chart.

I'll admit,
I'm not familiar with some...

Look, I should explain this to you...

Cynthia, do you mind
if Liza and I speak privately?

Oh, no, no.

That's okay. Of course.

I should get packed anyways.

Liza, you're an angel.

Where is she going?

She wanted to be with her husband.

Where is that?

You used a morphine drip.

- Unorthodox.
- I...

I didn't have any nitrates, so I had
to salvage from another neighbor.

I had to find a way to get
the pressure off of his heart.

What about your other patients?

I've already met four people

that swear you're
the reason they're alive.

I'm just making them comfortable.

Hector's the only crit case.

Well, you did very well, considering
you're not actually a nurse.

Are you?

He was going to die.
I didn't know what else to do.

I needed to get her to trust me,
so that she could let me...

- So that I can help.
- It's alright.

Desperate times.

Perhaps you'd be willing
to pretend a little longer?

Excuse me?

AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY
EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES

It was under control.

I drained it,
we changed the dressing twice a day.

With no antibiotics,
this was always the outcome.

It's not anything you did.
We'll take care of you.

- She said that...
- I know what she said.

It's what they always say.

How are you going to do this?

We have a facility nearby.

- A military facility?
- It's military now. Fortified.

We have beds, surgeons,

which I am afraid
is what your wife's injury requires.

Why is she whispering?
Does she think I'm a child?

My wife would like to know
how far this place is.

Close. 15 minutes. There's
not a lot of traffic these days.

I am going with her.

Of course. She's your wife.

- This is good news.
- Are you sure?

No.

No, no, no.

Nick?

- Nick?
- What?

This is Dr. Exner.

Hi.

I understand
you may be in need of methadone.

Well, I would love methadone
if I was trying to kick,

which I've already done.

When's the last time you used?

I don't know. When did the world end?
A couple of days before that.

What's this?

Overdue house calls.

- I'm Dr. Exner.
- Oh. Travis.

I can't tell you
how happy we are to see you.

- Is something wrong with Nick?
- No. I'm fine.

But your ex-wife, man, she's a narc.

She told this lady
I was the neighborhood dope fiend.

98.6.

I'm going to check
your blood pressure.

So, are you the one that decides
who goes to this facility?

Well, I have some help, but yes.

Like Doug Thompson?

I can't discuss other patients.

Excuse him.
He worries about everyone else.

Your friend is in good hands.
Just like Hector Ramirez.

Just like Griselda will be.

You okay, Nick?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Is Mr. Ramirez okay?

Congestive heart disease
is manageable.

Your heart rate's elevated.

You're a very attractive woman.

Where did you go?

Outside the fence.

What did you see?

Who is that?

That's the doctor. She wants to take
my wife and do surgery on her.

Well, that's good.

Tell me what you saw.

Bodies.

Yes.

The infected,

but...

Go on.

There was a man
shot like the others, like the rest.

But he... He wasn't sick.

And there were others like that.

When I was young...

...these men...

These men from the government
came to our town,

and they took some people away.

My father was someone of a certain
importance in the community,

so he went to speak to the captain

and asked, "When will they return?"

And the captain told my father,
"Miguel, don't worry!

"They always come home."

And they did.

I was standing in the river, fishing,

just a boy.

And I found them.

All of them. All at once.

All around me.

In the water.

My father told me
not to have hatred in my heart.

He said that men do these things
not because of you.

They do evil because of fear.

And at that moment,

I realized my father was a fool
for believing there was a difference.

If it happens,
it will happen quickly,

and you must be prepared.

Yeah. But what...? If what happens?

I must go with my wife.

If I don't return,

you will look after Ofelia for me.

She's a grown woman.

- She doesn't need me to...
- Please.

You will look after Ofelia
for me, please.

Thank you.

Keep your son close.

What do you want me to say?

You don't know.

What?

You have no idea.

- Go away. Go away.
- What happened to your face?

- Knock, for Christ's sake! Go away!
- Let me have a look at it.

- Nick! Let me in!
- What's going on?

Let me in!

- Nick! What happened?
- Travis, stop. Look.

Let me just...

I've got it, okay?

Okay.

Nick? He's gone.

Come on. Let me in.

Do you want me to get Mom?

Who did that to you?

Are you okay?

Do you want to talk about it?

Hey, hey, it's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

Alright.

This is good. This is good.
Okay, come on. Alright.

Careful.

I don't know how long we will be.

What the hell is going on?
Hey! Whoa! Hey, hey. What's all this?

If we don't get Griselda
to the surgeon, she'll lose a foot.

- You're in the way.
- Alright. Okay.

Alright, step...

Good.

Okay.

- Sir, I'll need you to wait.
- No, that's okay. That's his wife.

I have two names.

- Griselda Salazar, Daniel Salazar.
- No, not you. Nicholas Clark.

- What?
- Come on, man.

Free medical,
care of the US military.

Run.

That's a mistake. No, no, no.
That's a mistake. That's a mistake.

- Nick!
- Wait, wait! Hey!

- No, no!
- Take it easy! Take it easy!

- No, don't you hurt him! Nick!
- Stand down. Stand down, ma'am.

Nick!

- No! He's not sick.
- Calm down, ma'am.

What's going on?

- Hey, hey, hey!
- Whoa!

- Easy! Take it easy.
- Dad!

- Step back!
- What are you doing?

Take it easy, man. He's a kid.

It's an old man and a kid.
What are you doing? This is our home.

What are you doing, man?

I didn't do anything.

Get him in.

Let Nick stay. He's not a risk.
I'll look after him. Please.

- You said you wanted to help.
- Yeah, I do, yes, but...

Then get in the truck.
We could use you at the hospital.

- He knows me. Let me talk to Moyers.
- It doesn't matter.

- Just let me talk to Moyers.
- No, no!

No! No, Nick!

- I have a son. He needs me.
- We'll come back for your son.

He's safe here for now.
But Griselda, the others...

They need you. I need you.

Are you coming?

Liza?

Mom?

Alright, clear out.

Mom?

Where is he?

Where did you take him?
Where is he? No! Nick!

Chris?

Liza.

She did this.

Patrick,

if you find this, I'm sorry.

If you find this,

I love you.

I saw something today,
something that horrified me.

At first, I thought it was unnatural.
I thought it was an aberration.

But I was wrong.

What I saw was prophesized.

What I saw was godly.

And I think it's overdue.

I wish you were here,
but I will see you soon.

And you will hold me.

If you find this,

I'm sorry.

If you find this,

I love you.
