Someone there?
I mean... not one
of the passed?
( clears throat )
I haven't used
my voice in a while.
Uh...am I talkin' loud?
I am.
Maybe, sir or madam,
you are not there,
but it is something to hear
your voice after a bit.
Just saying words.
Platypus.
Pasta.
Potable. Hmm.
If you are there,
you can come out.
We can sit. Split a can
of Pecos strawberries.
Have a little...badinage,
my mama used to say.
That's just a fancy word
for chat.
It's been...
I don't know...
maybe a year.
( clears throat )
I had a place
where I was before.
I had a good metric ton
of popcorn.
I've still got a lot.
I could make some.
I just read books.
I...
I watched movies mostly.
But I read--
I read books now.
I got a few with me...
if you have a need
for reading material.
( sighs )
Well...
since there is
no one there...
hmm... before I...
go quiet again
for maybe another year...
I might as well
tell you that I--
I did talk to someone.
She wasn't just someone.
She came to my door.
Just showed up.
I let her stay.
And we fell...
We had feelings
for each other.
One day we allowed it.
One day.
I just thought I'd say that.
'Cause I supposed
I would see it when I said it.
And I did.
And that was nice.
There ain't been
a lot of nice.

I thought maybe
we could continue
our acquaintance.
"Here" and "there"

It's all one place.
You could do all this
somewhere else.
Or... well...

wouldn't.
I was hurt.

You brought me in.
You didn't have to.
Morgan, you don't have
a gunshot in your side,

hurt.
Come back with me.
Don't wait this time.
Don't...waste

You're alive.

come across a woman

Identical, in point of fact.
I've been looking for her...
for some time.
Not seen anybody like that.
I'm gonna go.
Wait-- Hey, there--
there's no sense

Why don't you take

Thought you didn't
drive at night, Al.
Was parked nearby.
Heard a shot.
Wanted to see
what was what.
So what's what?
He said
he was on his own.
His friend
damn near shot my hand off.
Al: New people.
I like new people.
Just keep driving, Al.
We're good here.
You don't look good.
You look hungry.
I got a case...
Cup-O-Noodles in the back.
Korean brand.
It's got that kimchi powder
you mix up on top.
- Not enough, Al.
- I'll throw in a case
of Pall Malls.
I know how you love
your Pall Malls.
You got your hand
on the lever?

Thank you.
Leland and his boys
have gotten pretty desperate.
Seems like every store,
kitchen, and pantry
from here to Tyler
is picked over
down to the studs.
I'm guessin'
from your vehicle
that you are or were
an officer of the law?
Not exactly.
I'd like to get out
of here, please.
Anywhere along here
is fine.
Sorry, guys.
Didn't rescue you
out of the goodness
of my heart.
You guys owe me.

- John: Ho.
- You're quick.
- I am.
Well, easy there, cowboy.
- ( bag unzips )
- I didn't save you
so I could kill you.
I just want to ask you
a few questions.
- Questions?
- Yeah.
What you've seen.
Who you've met.
Where you've been.
Where you're going.
- Why?
- It's for a story.
I'm a journalist.
Al:
You were alone
at the cabin.
- John: Yeah.
- Before Lauren showed up?
Laura.
- Right. Sorry.
- Nope. Nobody.
I talked to myself a lot.
But I had to quit.
Al:
Why?
Because I started enjoying
that conversation too much.
( chuckles )
What else can you
tell me about Laura?
In case we ever cross paths.
Mm...
she enjoyed a Black Jack.
- Card player.
- Taffy.
Licorice. I never much cared
for 'em before.
And now?
I don't mind 'em.
You think
you'll find her?
I know I will.
How exactly
did you get split up?
( inhales )
Um, I'm afraid that's
not a very happy story.
- Most aren't nowadays.
Ours will be.
This one will be.
Once we find our way back
to each other.
Was that...?
Great. Thank you.
Sure.
How about you?
How long you been
on the road?
What does it matter?
These questions--
There's no news stations
left.
I saved you.
Noodles and effort.
You owe me.
No.
I don't need that.
I need your story.
Al:
What brought you out here?
You goin' somewhere?
Getting away from something--
I didn't ask you to save me.
I'm gonna go.
Or are you saying I can't?
John:
Hold up.
Hold up, friend.
Hey, you've been held
at gunpoint with somebody,
I think you earned the right
to call him friend.
I don't want to answer
any more questions.
I just want to be left be.
Well, I just want
to give you something.
OK? Clean socks.
Worth their weight
in gold.
'Course, gold
ain't worth much nowadays.
I seen the pair
you was wearing
'round the campfire.
I think it's time
for an upgrade.
Thanks.
Apologies about the corn.
Especially since
they're for your feet.
You sure you're gonna be
all right out there
on your own?
This world...
we're always on our own.

Markers like that
had been popping up
around here
the last few weeks,
but never anyone around
to ask but the dead.
The dead?
I call 'em the passed.
Call 'em walkers
where I'm from.
Look at that.
A piece of personal history.
You still owe me.
Then pull over.
Al:
Your name?
Morgan Jones.
Where do you come from?
Atlanta and, um...
then Virginia.
How'd you
get here?
I ran.
Then I walked,
drove...
walked again.
Were you part
of a settlement in Virginia?
A couple.
Can you tell me about them?
( chuckles )
One of them
was called Alexandria,
and then
there was a place...
called the Kingdom.
Actually had--
had a king.
A king?
- ( laughs )
- Even had a pet tiger.

- ( John chuckles )
All right,
we're gonna have
to sidebar that one.
These settlements,
were they good places
to live?
They were safe places.
Good people inside.
I had been
with some of them
for a while.
It--
Al:
What happened?
There was a fight.
With another group.
It was a big, big group.
We won.
But you didn't stay.
I already left...
before I left.
I don't understand.
Did they do something?
Or did you?
I told you things,
and that was the trade.
You told me you were
with good people
in Virginia,
and then you left.
Why? Were you trying
to get something?
Get away from something?
How about
you tell me about you?
Like, um,
how'd you get this van?
And why
asking total strangers
questions like this
is so important to you.
Huh?
- Look, I saved your ass.
- And we saved yours.
Well...
I want to thank you both
for your help.
But I think it's time
that I was going on my way.
- What about your leg?
- No, I'm fine.

fine.
Tell me one real thing,

In exchange for more
of his story.

I don't.
I just don't think
about it that far
