Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 11 - La Serpiente - full transcript

Well, it never was
all that clear

Why you left me
standing in the mirror

The horizon

Dragged me down

Though I never did
completely know

Why you sunk down
on that gas pedal

Always trying...

Correct.

Then what are we looking for?

All things come
to those who wait.

Audio memento



Music to my ears...

What have you gotten us into?

"Jesus saves."

Whatever you're looking
for, find it now.

There she is.

Give me a hand.

We're not getting
through them in this.

We aren't getting through
them, we're going under.

I came to the trading
post this way.

I can get us back
to the dam as well.

What about the truck?

The dead don't drive.

They'll go away once we get...

underground.



There's gotta be a better way.

If there was,
Strand would take it.

He's not the sewer tunnel type.

How right you are.

Whoo!

The smell's a bitchslap,
but you'll get used to it.

But I do suggest
you holding your breath

on the descent.

Ooh.

Ooh.

I'm not following
that man into the dark.

I'm going for the water.
That's the fastest way.

You trust the journey

or you go back emptyhanded.

Your choice.

- You good?
- God.

So, was I...?

Wait, wait. Okay.

This way, this way,
this way, this way.

God.

- Okay.
- Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Okay, come on.

Okay, okay, come, come, come.

Shit.

Wait, wait, no, no.
Not... not this way.

- What?
- It's, I think, this way.

That's what he said about
the last five we passed.

You spent all my gold.

The son of a bitch is lost.

This son of a bitch saved my family.
I trust him.

That's why I traded your gold.

If you wanna give
someone shit, give it to me.

- We can take them.
- No.

There may be more in the dark.

- Come on, come on.
- God.

Which way?

We need to know now.

Okay...

Wait.

That's it. I'm done with you.

Wait. Hey, Walker, wait!

Which way?

We should find
the surface, Madison.

- He's right.
- What are you looking for?

The open eye. It's a symbol
that the Proctors use.

How do you know it's down here?

Well, I bought my way in

with the Proctor's scouts
after I left the dam.

They are unseemly but efficient.

We just need to keep looking.

Madison, he's right, I'm lost.

- No, we're getting to the dam.
- No.

- We're all in.
- Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

Madison, there's something I
didn't tell you about the dam.

- What?
- Daniel's there.

Holy shit.

His neardeath experience
hasn't opened his heart.

He's saltier than ever.

What did you do, Victor?

When my fortunes
turned to the dam,

I... I used Ofelia as bait.

I told him that I knew
where she was.

When he discovered my lie,
he left me for the dead.

Well, I can make good
on your promise.

Ofelia's at the ranch.

Hope springs from darkness.

Come on.

This way.

Madison, Strand!

- They're coming.
- Follow me.

This pipe gets us to the dam.

The other route spits us out
to the streets of Tijuana.

I say we take it to the streets.

There's no time, Walker.

After you.

My God.

Wait a sec.

Something's behind us.

Probably coming from outside.

That doesn't sound like outside.

Go. Come on, go.

God. Shit, shit.

Hurry up!

Shit.

I got it. I got it.

Back up, back up.

It's stuck, just like we are.

Walker, pass me the hatchet.

- Can you see around it?
- No.

We have to remove it.

What do you mean, "remove"?

Strand. Strand,
grab the arm and pull.

Okay.

Pull.

Wait, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Stop!

Agua!

No!

Hey!

Daniel, don't.

It's me. No, it's okay.

Daniel, thank God you're alive.

We thought you burned
in the fire.

You remember what happened?

I'm better now.

Ofelia?

She's alive, Daniel.

How can I believe you with
this culero by your side?

Strand was telling the truth when
he told you Ofelia left our group.

This man found her in the desert.
He saved her.

She lives with us on a
ranch across the border.

But we're in trouble.

We need your help.

We need water.

Let me speak to Lola first.

Let me handle the negotiation.

You don't speak for me.

Daniel and I have
a relationship.

There's an understanding
between us.

You haven't seen him
in some time.

He'll help us.

I know he'll help us.

Come in.

Sit, please.

Our camp is running
out of water.

But we have resources
that would benefit you.

We can offer you cattle, fuel,

or guns in trade.

Efra.

I'm sorry for your troubles,

but we have no water to spare.

I don't understand.

You have more than enough.
You have a lake.

We have no water for you.

Consider this.

I know your men
were set upon just today.

They want what you have
and they will come for it.

You don't know the situation.

I know you're under attack.

There's nothing left to discuss.

There will be no trade.

You can stay the night,
leave in the morning.

Adelante.

Lola...

I guess we're roomies tonight.

Everything's funny to you.

It's not possible
to have a sense of tragedy

without having a sense of humor.

Will you laugh when Madison
loses her home because of you?

What do you mean?

We had a deal for water before
she sacrificed it to save you.

If she can't make a new deal,

the ranchers will have to go.

There's not enough water
for both sides,

and my side comes first.

What about Madison and her kids?

Let's hope she doesn't
regret her decision

when they're back in the desert.

It's not about the water.

You're afraid to trade with us

because of what
the people will think.

I have difficulty enough getting
water to other colonias.

They will revolt.
Some already have.

And then if you trade
with the gringos...

There will be bloodshed.

There will be bloodshed
either way, Lola.

I think you know that.

And I will fight against that.

Sometimes a leader has to
show force to gain respect.

I can't lose their trust.

I have two kids
and a ranch full of people

who are relying on me
to make this deal.

I'm begging you to help me.

You're trying to save
your children.

I'm trying to save my city.

There's something
I can offer you.

Bring your family and Ofelia here.
Them alone.

You can live and work here.

They'll be safe
as long as I'm in charge.

It's rare a leader
does right by everyone.

It's not rare.

It's impossible.

Can I help?

I was a doctor in a former life.

It's just a nick, a graze.

You'd think the people
would be grateful

that you bring them water.

We've got a saying back at home.

"Don't bite the hand
that feeds you."

They wouldn't bite
if Daniel didn't shoot.

So...

you're former military,
too, like Daniel?

No, I'm a man of the people.

- I help them, never harm.
- Of course.

Daniel keeps the sheep in line

so you can minister
to the flock.

When there are so many desperate
souls, problems arise.

So, Daniel's shooting
was justified.

The people were desperate.

Dangerous.

No. Daniel had no right.

People are thirsty, scared.

He's paranoid.

Why should he be paranoid?

He thinks the people
are plotting a takeover.

He tries to convince Lola.

I keep her mind clear.

Dissatisfaction breeds dissent,

and dissent leads to revolt.

You not wanting Daniel to be
right does not make him wrong.

There are those who want chaos,

but violence begets violence.

What would you have Lola do?

Open the floodgates.

Let the river flow
to the people.

The water would evaporate.
You'll be left with dust.

And then the rains
will come again.

God will choose.

This...

this is too much power
for any one person.

"Uneasy lies the head
that wears the crown."

I appreciate what you did
for my daughter.

You raised a brave woman.

What does she do in the ranch?

She walks with me as a soldier.

I did not raise my daughter
to be a soldier.

She's a hero to us.

What do you mean, "hero"?

We were about to attack
an enemy's camp.

They were heavily armed.

She gained their trust,
then poisoned them.

She saved a lot of lives.

By taking others.

I keep trying to force
everything to stay together,

everything keeps falling apart.

Maybe you're not meant
to stay at the ranch.

Lola offered
to let us stay here.

Well, you wouldn't have to
worry about water anymore,

and this place
is as safe as any other.

This place isn't safe.
You know that.

It's defensible.

Yeah, if Lola would defend it.

She's not willing to sacrifice
that part of herself.

I admire that.

I don't know what's gonna happen
if I don't get this water.

You always find a way
to protect your kids.

I've done some godawful
shit in the name of family.

Alicia and Nick have seen it,

followed it.

Sacrificed too much.

You think you have a say on
what they do or don't do?

Come on, now.

Remove them from the picture.

Just this once, for me.

All right?

Now, what do you want?

I don't know, it's been too long

since I've thought
about what I want.

Since before they were born.

Let's go back to then.

It was, what,
the late '80s, right?

I bet you had a perm.

What did permed Madison want?

A Mustang, tickets to Cheap
Trick in Birmingham.

I come from country, Victor.

That ranch
has problems to spare,

but it's the closest thing
to what I know.

It's where I want to be.

Are you sure?

What about you?

What future do you see?

One where I don't
fail my friends.

No. Lola.

I don't know
what you're thinking,

but I'm sure that
serpent brain of yours

is coiling around an idea.

I don't know what you're
talking about, old man.

Whatever it is,

if it benefits both of us...

I'll look the other way.

If not...

I'll have you in my sights.

Walker. Where are you going?

Why do you have such a hard
time honoring your word?

You lied to me,

and there are consequences.

- The ranchers must leave.
- You can't do that.

- There's too little to share. You must have known this.
- There's another way.

They can leave peacefully
or we can force them.

- Their choice.
- Walker, please, we're too close!

I'm just as angry with
myself as I am with you.

Please don't do this!

We won't survive
out there again.

Tell me she changed her mind.

I tried to convince her,
but I couldn't.

She thinks she's the only one
who knows what the dam needs.

Yeah, what about what you need?

Lola saved my life.

I can't abandon her.

She's in this position
because of me.

You can't leave Lola or you're
afraid to face your daughter?

If I were to leave
this place now,

the dam would fall
in a matter of days.

Lola is in danger.

- Ofelia is safe.
- Yeah, for now.

She needs her father, Daniel.

Ofelia will always
be my daughter,

no matter what
that man had her do.

Let's go. We'll make
it by nightfall.

Madison, wait.

Strand, Madison.

No...

Can your ranch provide this?

Yes.

How much water do you need?

10,000 gallons a week
until the rains come.

And a tanker to bring back
today as a show of good faith.

Do we have
a spare truck and fuel?

Yes. That will not be a problem.

The first trade
will be in five days.

There's a trading post,
stadium on the border.

Equidistant for both sides.

We can meet there.

I want Ofelia at the trade.

She will be there.

Thank you.

This is gonna be a good thing.

Be careful.

A friendly face
will slip a knife

in your back when it's turned.

I know this.

Adios, Daniel.

Not adios, Strand.

I expect you back in five days

with my daughter.

"Palaces of Montezuma"
playing on radio.

How'd you do it?

Must've been a spark.

You saw the safety
regulations at that place.

An accident waiting to happen.

Cut the shit.

You asked what I wanted,
then it happened.

A trick I saw in an old movie.

I had my doubts.

Thank you, Victor.

You would've done
the same for me.

Would I, now?

I'm not so sure.

A custardcolored superdream

Of Ali MacGraw and Steve
McQueen, I give to...

Come on, baby, let's get
out of the cold...

Thirsty?

And give me, give me, give
me your precious love

For me to hold

Come on, baby,
come out of the cold

Yeah

And give me, give me, give
me your precious love

For me to hold

Yeah, hey, come on

Yeah, come on

Yeah, come on

Yeah, come on...
