A troubled survivor finds allies in an unexpected place; the life Madison has fought to build comes under threat.

Previously on AMC's
"Fear the Walking Dead"...

So... what's your story?

I'm just passing through.

Well, why don't you come on
and sit a spell?

All right. I didn't save you
so I could kill you.

Just want to ask you what
you've seen, where you've been,

where you're going.

I'm a journalist.

Anybody know
what that 51 means?

Markers like that have been
popping up around here

the last few weeks.



Drop it!

Drop it!

So what the hell's
your story?

Your family?

Can you tell me
anything about them?

I don't want
to talk about it.

That's OK.

We can talk about
something else.

Like what?

Like...what was

your favorite subject
in school?

Music.

Favorite food?

Pizza.



What about
least favorite food?

Salmon patties.

Salmon patties?
What's a salmon patty?

It's like...
it's like canned salmon

with mayonnaise,
bread crumbs and onions

grilled in a pan.

Ughh.

Oh, that sounds terrible!

Spend your whole life swimmin'
upstream, end up a patty?

Yeah. Shoulda swam
the other way.

Yeah, shoulda.

I know living here is gonna
take a while to get used to.

But this is home now.

And I want it
to feel that way.

I'll do everything I can
to make that happen.

I just need you
to help me a little bit.

What direction were you coming
from when you found us?

Good morning,
folks, this is your friendly

morning wake-up call.

It's another beautiful day,
with clear skies,

and for those keepin' score,
today is a big one.

Today marks 365 days
in the diamond.

You heard the man.
We're celebratin' today.

With syrup.

Hey, cut him some slack.

Do you know how hard it is to
find Vermont Fancy in Texas?

It's the finest vintage.

Yah! Ooh.

- No, on my eggs.
- Yeah, on your eggs.

Was she up all night again?

Mom?

Mom.

- You missed breakfast.
- That kid needs a place of her own.

I was thinking about
putting the bed over here.

- Did you get any sleep?
- Couple hours.

Well, we've got
the run today.

I'm fine, Nick.
Tell your sister I'll be there

- in a little while.
- What?

Can anyone around here
give me a courtesy laugh?

I survived out there
on a lot less

than a couple of hours
of sleep.

Yeah, and you were
a lot crankier.

- Maybe a bit funnier.
- Ha ha ha.

- See? I can do it.
- No.

Caffeinate.

We are leaving in 20.

Did you know he
only lived to be 27?

I think you might've
mentioned it.

And did you know people say he
might've sold his soul to the devil?

That's what "Cross
Road Blues" is about, right?

Uh-huh.

What's wrong
with the turnips?

I'm not sure.

Looks like someone
swallowed them

and puked them back up.

Well, look at it this way--

it's one less vegetable
you gotta eat.

I like vegetables.

How old are you?

How much food do we have
in the pantries?

Um, enough.

Yeah, but how long
would it last

if it's all we had?

Charlie...

you don't need to worry about
stuff like that anymore.

You know, we're almost
growing enough

so we won't have
to go out there for anything.

Come on.

Let's look at the cabbages.

- Charlie's family?
- She said they're out there.

- You got her to talk about it?
- Not exactly.

She pointed.
But I checked her book,

it's from the public library
out in Bartlett.

Hm-mm, hm-mm.
That's outside the range.

- Yeah.
- I thought we agreed

nobody goes outside
the range.

We did, but this is
a special case.

The kid can't look
for her family on her own.

- We have to do it for her.
- We don't even know

- if they're alive. - Yeah, but we
didn't know you were alive

when Viv convinced us
to look for you,

and look
how that turned out.

I wasn't out of range.

Well, it wouldn't have
mattered to me if you were.

What about you, Viv?

All right.

Radio us back
the second you can.

- OK?
- Let's go.

Hey.

You mind
giving me a hand? Huh?

Ain't a road trip
without snacks.

Aren't you on watch today?

It seems like you know
my schedule better than I do.

Because I made it.

And I put you on watch
for a reason.

Lucy.

Change your mind?

No. That kid
needs a new book.

Think you could find her one
while you're out there?

Well, you should come
and help me look.

Well, I've got
a turnip situation.

Don't you get bored in here?

I do, yeah.
It's great.

Ohh. It is.

You wanna just
stare at a wall later?

- Deal.
- Yes.

I'll bring the jicama.

Can you make sure
she comes back this time?

Mm-hmm.

You're never
gonna let that go, huh?

Eventually I might.

- Be careful.
- Mm-hmm.

He's gotta come out sometime.

He will when it's right.

You weren't there
when I found him, Lucy.

He just needs to be
in a place

where he feels safe
right now.

Solid jerky
Cole packed for us.

Will you just have a drink
with the guy already?

Madison, you know
I only drink with you.

Nick, over radio:
You guys still in range?

What is it?

I figured out what's
wrong with the turnips.

Weevils.

They got to the roots.

We're gonna have
to dig 'em all up.

You need us to look for
pesticides while we're here?

Nick? Nick.

You copy?

And so ends
our broadcast day.

OK, Luciana,
you go with Strand.

Alicia, you come with me.
You know how it works.

Eyes open,
stay close, keep talking.

Any sign of Charlie's family,
radio us.

Clear.

This place has
been picked clean.

There's nothing left.

Strand, over radio:
Some avaricious looters

got to this place.

They took everything--

even the light bulbs.

- What do you think it means?
- I don't know.

Come on.

Oh.

I bet this camp
is where Charlie's from.

Kid's lucky she got out
of here alive.

You guys see any signs of survivors?

None.

It's not only the survivors
who are in absentia.

The dead.
Where are they?

We haven't seen one
since we entered this burg.

Yeah, neither have we.

Hang on.

We're gonna be another minute.

I think there's someone
around here.

Looks like one person.

I found what's left
of their lunch.

Copy.

You know, she won't go back
until she looks under every rock.

Huh.

It's the only reason
I'm here.

Only reason
we're all here.

Well, she didn't just
find me down there.

She saved me,
and she didn't have to.

- Well, you know what she says.
- I do.

But I made a pretty powerful
argument to the contrary.

Still never asked her
why she helped me

after what I did.

Ask her.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

It's OK. They haven't
been gone that long.

I know it wasn't
a regular run.

Well, look,
we didn't want to tell you

because we didn't want you
to get your hopes up.

But if your family
is out there, we'll find 'em.

Why don't you ever
go out there?

Because I like it
better in here.

Now, you gonna help me
with those puke turnips?

Mom? Did you find anything?

- Don't.
- Mom.

Now turn around.

Your keys.
Hand them over.

You don't have to do this.

The keys.

Shit.

We have a settlement.

Strong walls...

plenty of food...

good people.

It's the truth.
We just took in a kid.

Says she's from around
here somewhere.

Little girl?

Named Charlie?

- You know her?
- I don't have a kid.

Please just stop.

It's OK.

Easy there.

Wait!

Madison!

Please, put it down.

We're not gonna hurt you.
You can trust us.

You need help, hell, you need
the car, we'll give it to you.

Don't!

- Don't!
- Aaah!

It's OK.
We'll get you out.

Aaah!

Get the hatch open.

It's rusted shut.

- Stay close.
- I'm trying!

Good, good, good.
Push. Push.

Mom?

Madison, who on God's earth did we
risk life and limb to save this time?

I didn't get a chance
to ask her name

when she had me at gunpoint.

Hey.

No one's gone
till they're gone.

Naomi.

My name is Naomi.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't going
to hurt you.

Well, somebody led them
into the tank.

Any idea who?

I just camped there
last night.

- I'm not from here.
- Where are you from?

It's been a long time

since I've been
from...anywhere.

You've been traveling
this whole time?

The whole time.

We should leave.

Now.

- We gotta do something.
- Like what?

I don't know, go out there
and figure out

where that music came from.

Maybe it was something
to do with why

they're not back yet.

You know? Maybe it was them

trying to signal us.

Look, I know you're worried

about your family,
but let's just wait,

see if we hear it again.

I need you
to open the gate.

I can do that.

Ohh.

Nick, get back here.

Nick! What are you doing?

You know,
just taking a stroll.

What happened to you?

Get in.

Charlie, can we talk
for a second?

It's OK.

I know you didn't find them.

I'm sorry.

I've gotta ask you
another question, though.

It's not an easy one.

What happened at your camp?

Do you know who did that?

We can talk about it
another time.

- Thanks.
- Least I could do.

You a nurse
or a doctor?

Nurse.

What kind?

Last answer.
No more questions.

ER, then ICU.

Hey, how'd she take it?

I don't think
it was a surprise.

All right, I'll go
check on her.

Thank you.

You didn't tell me your
camp was a baseball stadium.

You didn't believe
I had a camp.

- How many people live here?
- Forty-seven.

Forty-eight
if you decide to stay.

I pulled a gun on you.

But you didn't shoot.

I've done a lot worse
when I was out there.

We all did.

I thought I lost my kids
for good because of it.

But I found 'em.

And then we found this place

and we built it up.
Together.

We are who we are
because of it.

You don't even know me.

And you don't know us.

So we're both
takin' a chance.

I know it's a lot.

Why don't you see
how you feel after a shower?

A shower?

Uh-huh.

- Is the water--
- Yeah.

But you gotta turn the knob
all the way to the right

to get it really hot.

Hit them if they get
within 50 feet of us.

Copy.

You know, I could've
helped you guys out there

if he'd let me come along.

I don't think
that's why he didn't want you to come.

Well, then
what's the deal?

He acts like he doesn't
want to get to know me.

It might be
the other way around.

Does he really think
that's gonna stop me?

Cole, over radio:
Luce?

You guys need to get inside
right now!

Why? What's wrong?

Ditch the truck! Right now!

Lock the gate.

Who in the hell is that?

Get to the armory.
Bring everything.

"The Blue Danube Waltz"

You picked one hell
of a night to join us.

There a problem?

We're good.

You want one?

We got a lot of people inside
with a lot of guns.

That's a hell
of a welcome.

We saw what you did to
that camp by those tanks.

You think we did that?

Well, your flag
was flyin' over it.

Yeah.

Because we had
to clean up their mess.

You see, the thing
no one thought about

when they built a camp
between all those giant...

metal drums is what would
happen if the bleeder valve

got jammed on one
of those things.

We warned 'em,
but...they didn't listen.

What do you want from us?

We want you... to listen.

'Cause you have a mess of
your own out here. Don't you?

A...bad batch of turnips,
from what I hear.

You should tell Nick
to check the rest

of his crops, too, because the
weevils are a bitch to get rid of.

How the hell
do you know his name?

Come here, kiddo.

Hey.
Come here.

How you doin'?

They take
good care of you? Huh?

I'm so sorry we were late.

Just had to clear the road
of the fallen back there

so we could chat
out here uninterrupted. But...

I got you
some new records on the bus.

Go on, get in there.
Good girl.

God, she's a good kid.

We found her a while back.

Turns out she has a real knack
for finding the good stuff.

Boy, she...she hit
the jackpot here.

You're not takin'
anything from us.

People always say that.

You see, we're not taking
anything from anyone.

Anyone who's alive, anyway.

You see, look-- I've had this
conversation a hundred times.

We know that
you're good people. Yeah?

Look, 27 machine guns,
six rifles,

14 handguns,
six dozen hand grenades,

and until recently,
a great crop yield,

but there is a natural cycle
to a place like this.

OK? And yours is about
to run out.

So there's two ways
this can go--

either you give us
your stuff and live--

I mean, hell,
you can--you can join us,

you could become one of us.

Or we wait for you all to die,
tryin' to make things work.

But either way, I end up with that gun
on your hip and whatever else I want.

That's not a threat,
that's just...

the way it goes.

Oh.
I'm Mel, by the way.

We're not goin' anywhere.

Yeah, I've heard
that before, too.

We've lived like you.

Movin' from place to place,

doin' whatever
it took to make it.

We're not goin' back
to that life.

You saying
you're better than us?

I'm saying
we found a better way.

Because you live in there in those
walls, you don't have to do

the sorts of things
we have to do?

Let me tell you somethin'.

You just haven't
been tested yet.

But you're about to be.

You change your mind,
we'll be out here waitin'.

We're not who
you think we are.

Hey, help yourself.

- Leave that one be. Just leave it.
- Hey, OK, OK.

All right, all right.

You're with them!

With who?

The Vultures.

I don't know
what that means.

Maybe if you assholes
put your guns down

we could help each other.

Who put that flag up?

- What did they do to you?
- How about you answer our questions?

That flag isn't yours?

All right. Show us
where you found it.
