Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 4 - Buried - full transcript

Let's get this over with.

We... We can wait.

Until he's buried, at least.

You took us there, we'd talk.
That was the deal.

Ask what you want to ask.

How did you end up here?

That's a big question.

Sometimes, those are
the easiest ones to answer.

There was one day...

When we could have stopped
all of this from happening.

Let's start there.



Tell me about that day.

How long had it been
since they'd showed up?

A couple of weeks.

We started to stretch our rations
with cattle feed.

Have you ever eaten cattle feed?

Lemme tell you...

It's an acquired taste.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Allow me to be of assistance.

No, let's save it.

It's the last we have.

Yeah, when the pancakes get better.

For when things get better.



That's right.

This is far too significant a condiment

for cattle feed pancakes.

For when things get better.

That can happen.

It already did for us.

Even if it feels not like that right now.

Things will get better.

Shouldn't we be eating the cattle
before we eat their feed?

No one's killing anything
that moves today.

We're sailing out even farther?

We've already been everywhere
within 50 miles of here.

Everywhere we thought
there might be food.

I started to get creative.

I thought of places our friends
in the parking lot may not have hit.

Bowling alley?

Who knows?

Maybe they have nachos.

Cheese that comes from a can.

Where we going?

"We?"

No one goes out alone,
and I still have half the county to grid.

Let's go.

Going on runs that day...

That was our first misstep.

Now, remember,

no spines,

no purple, no black.

You know I went to A&M, right?

Spent more time smoking the plants
than I did studying them, but...

I know which ones are safe to eat.

All right, I told you something.

Now you tell me something.

About what?

About you.

I didn't go to A&M.

Look here.

It appears our search has borne fruit.

I'll see if there's a cart.

How long you gonna keep doing that?

Doing what?

Acting like you're afraid of me.

Ah, I assure you,

that is not the case.

Well, then what is it?

Were you afraid of him?

No. Of course not.

What did you think of him?

I thought we were talking about Nick.

Talking about you.

Oh, man.

Heads up!

I see him.

Ah!

Thanks.

Pricks.

Saw it on my map
when my mom brought us out here.

I know it's crazy,
but it felt like a sign.

Of what?

We're not gonna find food in the library.

I know.

You coming or not?

I went because
Nick wanted me to.

I thought it would be good for me.

I thought it would be good for him.

You really taking that?

Nick, what are we doing here?

Books, we need books.

- For what?
- For a library.

People need a reason to fight, Lucy.

People need a reason
to want to stick around.

It can't all just be about food.

Nick, there's nothing left.

There's gotta be something.

This is about her, isn't it?

She thinks they're looking out for them,

she thinks they're like family.

I was just like her.

At the colonia, I believed
in what we were doing.

I thought it was a good place to be,
but it wasn't.

I just couldn't see it.

And you helped me.

And we'll help her, just not like this.

But you couldn't help her,
could you?

She killed Nick.

What do you think?

Hey.

You know, I used to be a police officer.

And I knew a guy back on the force.

He'd drink a bottle of rye whisky
for dinner every night.

Day in, day out.

Then one day,

he survived a close call with a suspect.

Stole a garbage truck,

squashed his patrol car flat as a pancake.

You know, he only went one week
without that rye.

What I come away with was,

takes more than one bad afternoon,

or a good one,

to turn somebody.

So I'm guessing once we pay our respects,
you're gonna be on your way, huh?

Back on the old course.

Tsk.

I'm telling you...

I'm telling you, I'm gonna find her.

I am.

And I want you with me when I do.

I want you to meet her.

I want her to meet you.

I just want to see him buried, John.

And then, yes, I will be on my way.

Man, I'm better on my own.

We can stop.

If it's too much.

Too much?

It's okay.

You just...

Your brother just...

Yeah, he did.

Man, I used to love these places.

You ever been?

Been a while.

Just you?

No.

Places like this...

They made really good churros.

Yeah, they did.

This is a good one.
We should take this back with us.

Height's good if you get caught
with the dead around you.

Run flat tires.
Gets mileage, but holds a lot of gas.

It's even got a tape deck.

No keys, though.

How do you know so much about cars?

I don't know that much.

Come on.

Looks like people lived here.

Mmm-hmm. Till the fences gave.

Whoever was camped here

moved to higher ground
when the fence went down.

Looks like they barricaded the stairs.

There.

That's how we get up.

Think we can make it?

Yeah, we can make it.

So what's your record of churros
in a single visit?

Four.

I was having fun.

May have been high on chlorine.

Well, that's worse than
Band-Aids in the water.

Then what happened?

I just wanted to do the right thing.

There's a reason why
we haven't been on a run before.

Look, if you don't like me,
you can just tell me.

I do.

That's why I didn't want to
give you a chance to get to know me.

I've, uh, done things.

I keep this to remind me

that I don't want to become
that man again.

Just looks like a piece of rock to me.

It's not.

So, going on the run
brought you closer together.

Of course it did.

We were the only people there
still breathing.

Go.

Ah!

There's still some ammo.

We should grab the extra.

Naomi!

Hang on!

When did you sharpen it?

That came later.

Keep talking.

Check this out.

Okay, this stuff's really hard to come by.

We gotta take
as much of this back as we can.

Thanks.

Here.

Take a look.

Maybe those people missed this whole area.

This might not be
the only place around here

those people haven't picked over.

I thought I saw some buildings
off the road back there.

We could drive out there, maybe.

Naomi?

So what happened?

Did she run?

We were all running.

Victor?

What the hell, man? Where are we?

I've been loading this
with provisions since the crops failed.

There's enough in here to last...
Maybe a month.

Why are you showing me this?

There's enough room in here for two.

This food, the stadium...

Victor, people are hungry.

What's here would barely feed
everyone for a day.

Yeah, and that day could be the difference

between people making it
and not making it.

So can this.

I did things before I met you.

People got hurt. People died.

At times, for no other reason
than my own self-preservation.

I wanna live.

There's famine on our horizon.

And this,
this is how I ensure I survive it.

How we both survive it.

You want to get to know me?

This is me.

I'm sorry, Victor, I can't do that.

I didn't think so.

I'll drive myself back.

You got everything you need right here.

So, did you leave?

Strand?

You think this is your fault.

Why?

It's not his fault.

He wasn't the only one
that thought about leaving.

Shit.

Second time you ran out on me
since we met.

You don't have to tell us
where you came from

or what happened to you.

You don't have to tell us anything. But...

You're either with us,
trying to keep this going,

or you're not.

I just can't do it again.

I just... I can't.

Do what?

Try to keep this going.

I did the same thing once.

I went off on my own.
Nobody could've talked me out of it.

Then I realised it wasn't

where I wanted to be, not really.

Maybe you will, too.

Let's get you some gas.

What about you?

Did you think about leaving?

Yes.

We all did.

We have to go.

There could be something for her.

Records or cassettes or CDs.

Something.

Lucy, I'm sorry,
we shouldn't have come here.

I don't want to
end up like that.

We're not gonna end up like that.

We're not gonna give up, okay?
Things are gonna get better.

This isn't the colonia.

Maybe it is.
Maybe we just haven't realised it.

No. We know what's wrong,
we're trying to fix it.

Maybe we just can't!

What if we found a new place?

What if we started over?

New fields, new crops...

We've done it before, we can do it again.

Where would we go?

First page we open to,

that's where we go.

That's where we start over.

That's where we take everyone.

What page did it open to?

Whatever page it was,

it's the reason
you're sitting here, isn't it?

I never should have opened that book.

You need help with something?

Got any relish in there?

You finished the relish already,
haven't you?

And the ketchup, and the mustard.

Always go through all the condiments

trying to dress up the things
you really don't want to eat.

Smell pretty good, don't they?

Considering they're from a can.

So...

Where you sending everyone
out to these days?

So you can beat us there?

I don't think so.

You know, Madison,

every time you send someone out

there's a chance they might not come back.

They'll be back.

You sure?

I know my people.

Okay.

Did I ever tell you the story about

where Ennis and I were
before I packed up the bus?

I used to live just like you fine folks.

Well, not in a baseball stadium,
nothing quite that unusual, but...

It was a settlement.

My family's cattle ranch
in the hill country,

two or three other families.

It was a really nice place to be.

Then some wildfires kicked up
about 30 miles away...

I know where
you're going with this.

You were smart.

You saw what was coming,

tried to warn everyone else,
but they didn't listen.

So, you and your brother left
before the fires hit.

I'm sorry about the rest of your family.

People are stubborn creatures.

Weenie?

I'm good.

If you didn't come out here
for the food or the...

...company, what are you doing here?

To tell you that my offer still stands.

You want relish, I'm sure we could
scrounge up a packet or two

in the concession stands.

We could all make a go of it in there,

if we just work together.

You genuinely believe that, don't you?

I do.

That's why this place is gonna fall.

My offer stands, too.

Oh, I'm not gonna join you.

You had the story wrong, by the way,
about me and Ennis leaving.

I convinced everyone to stay.

I told them we could save the place.

And they listened.

Then the fires got close, and...

My brother and I were
the only ones that made it out alive.

We could hear them dying.

Screaming as we drove off.

So that's why
this day was so important.

Because you decided to leave,

because you gave up on the stadium.

Here we go.

I was a nurse in ICU.

I saw a lot of car accidents,
lot of strokes.

After a while, you knew
who was gonna make it and who wasn't.

You gotta talk to your mom.

The stadium...

It's not gonna last.

You gotta start thinking about
where you're gonna go next.

I'll talk to her.

You think you know
what happened that day,

but you're wrong.

Where's Victor?

Is he okay?

Why'd you bring back
the supplies for everyone?

Why not just try to get Cole
to keep it a secret?

I got a little reminder
of what I stood to lose.

And what did people think

when they found out
about your escape hatch?

Wow. Looks like
you guys had a big day.

Finally caught a break, right?

But, boy, we were due! Good work.

I didn't tell them the truth.
I was the one who packed it.

So, are you gonna tell me?

What page did it open to?

I guess we're going north.

Wonder how the soil is up there.

Lucy, what if there's another way
of looking at this?

I don't understand.

Where did the book take you?

What'd you find?

Okay, what if we went
farther than anywhere on these maps,

farther than those assholes
in the parking lot have scavenged?

Nick, we can't go that far out
every time we need something.

No, we only need to do it once.

We find seeds,
we find fertilizers, we replant.

You know? We turn this place
back into what it was.

Okay. I'll go tell the others.

Good work.

Thanks for today.

Hey, replanting was your idea.

I'm just glad we're gonna do it here.

Mom.

We need to talk.

You told her about Naomi, right?

No.

Were you always right?

The ICU.
The patients you thought would die.

They ever live?

No, I let Naomi do her own talking.

Nice wheels.

What else did you find?

Even if we make it work here,

things are gonna get worse
before they get better.

I want to help set up an infirmary.

And I'm gonna help.

I don't understand.

You stayed at the stadium,

you fought for it.

Why is that the day everything changed?

We should have talked my mom into leaving.

I should have followed my gut.

I should have kept that car a secret.

We should have flipped to another page.

We should have found someplace else to go.

But we wanted to believe.

We wanted to stay.

I wanted to be a better person.

That's why my brother is dead.

That's why Nick is dead.

That's why my friend is dead.

We could have stopped it all.

Is this it?

This is it.

Why here?

What difference
does it make to you?

I... I just wanted to know.

Oh, this isn't about Nick, is it?

You're going after the rest of them.

Even after what happened to him?

It's what Nick wanted.

You don't know that.

You didn't know Nick.

You've been lying to me this whole time.

We had a deal.

To answer your questions. And we did.

The answers only matter
if they're the truth.

They are.

Maybe.

But you served them to me
between two slices of bullshit,

so how am I supposed
to tell the difference?

Sniff before you bite.

Good luck finding them without me.

We don't need you any more.

Alicia found this

on our friend with the El Camino.

They spilt off across the landscape

and reassemble with their gains.

We know where they meet up next.

You just needed a ride here.

You got snookered, Al.

So you're all really gonna lug all of this

wherever the Vultures are meeting?

Depends.

You offering to drive?

Don't take them, Al. Take me.

Their story just ends up
with more people getting hurt.

Mine doesn't.

There's a lot of our story you don't know.

Give me one reason I can believe

anything you tell me from here on out.

We don't have to tell you anything.

You want the truth?

You want to know how this ends?

Come see it for yourself.

Load up.

But you're still planning on
burying your brother, right?

You're not just gonna
leave him on the side of the road?

We'll bury him here.

Here.

He liked growing things, right?

Hey.

Where'd you get that?

We took what we could
when we left the stadium.

Guns, supplies.

Put 'em in anything we could find.

Could I?

Please? It belonged to her.

To who?

Laura.

Uh, we should set this stuff up
in the locker room.

Just give me a second.

Naomi?

Her name was Naomi?

She never told me her real name.

Where is she?

Where'd she go?

Where is she?

Naomi didn't make it out.

The stadium.

Things went wrong.

What happened?

She's dead.

No, that's not true.

She's out there.

She gotta be.

There's the rub.

Your story did end
with someone getting hurt.

Looks like you need something...

Shut up.

They did this.

Come with us. Help us end it.

John...

Just let me be.

Everybody, just let me be.

I'll find out what happened.

And I'll come back for you.

Al.

Go.

Go.

I'm sorry, John.

You were right.

We're always on our own.
