Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 14 - Today and Tomorrow - full transcript

Showed up on a run I don't
really need help on. How come?

Just didn't think
it was smart

for you to be
out here on your own.

Morgan. What are
you smiling about?

- No reason.
- Every time I cough,

every time I lose my breath,
I wonder

if this is the beginning
of the end for me.

And we brokered
a deal with Logan

to help us expand
what we've already built.

You help us
keep this place going,

there's no telling
what we can offer each other.



I can stay.

I'll help you make it.
I know how.

We can
keep you alive.

Now that sounds like
a deal to me.

What was her name?

Her name was Jenny.

Where was she from?

North Carolina,
originally.

We had met in Raleigh.

What do you want
to tell me about her?

How much tape you got?

She hated the water.

You know, she... she hated it.

But she still
didn't have the heart



to tell me I'd wasted
half a paycheck

rentin' that damn boat
for our date.

Her family was there,
and, uh, my brother.

It was just a small ceremony,
you know,

and that was alright with us.

I didn't sleep...
I mean, really sleep...

good three months.

He wanted to get a dog.

Yeah, he, um...
he played baseball,

and he was terrible.

Boy just... just loved comics.

He made me this card

for Father's Day.

My boy, Duane...

he was the best of both of us.

You know, you grow up,

and you think
that you know what life is,

that you...
you seen the patterns.

And the clichés
are pretty much true.

And then you have a child,

and it reframes everything
that everybody knows.

Morgan,
we're all gassed up.

I was just...

you know,
I was just watchin'.

Nice.

We should get back
to the convoy.

Been outta range
for a couple of days.

Still got some boxes
to drop off, though,

don't we?

We haven't been
this far west before.

We're runnin' low
on gas.

How low?

About a day's worth?

We should drop off
some more boxes, though.

You know, they could make
a difference for somebody.

I don't know.
We should get back.

Boxes make
a difference, Al. We...

Alright.

Shit.

What?

There were
three cans of gas.

Battery's probably dead.

Hey.

Look, even if you got
some of that gas in there,

it's not
gonna start.

- Back away.
- It's alright.

We just need
the gas back.

- "We"?
- Easy there.

I said back away.

No,
she's right.

We do need it.
So listen.

Why don't we
talk about it?

Just get the hell
away from me.

Hey, need you
to lower the knife.

Come on.

Lower the knife.

Now, why don't you tell us
where you're trying to get.

Morgan.

No. No.

They found me.

Get in the van.
Al.

Shh-shh-shh.

Al.

Four?

- Shit.
- What?

- Uh, gas cap.
- Al.

Over here!

He went this way!

Okay,
start talking.

Who the hell
was that?

It's alright.

We can help you.

That's what they said.

Destiny guides our fortunes more
favorably than we could've expected.

Look there, Sancho Panza,
my friend,

and see those 30 or so
wild giants

with whom I intend to do battle and slay.

And with whose spoils we shall
begin to make our fortunes,

for this is righteous warfare,
and it is God's good service

to sweep so evil a breed
off the face of the Ear...

Hey.

What are you
listening to?

"Don Quixote"...
Cervantes.

Ah. Beautiful.

Long-winded.

Yeah.

Anything we can salvage
from the stores?

Nothing so far,
but even if we did,

we're running out of room
in this truck.

- We could make room.
- Why don't you take a break?

I saw
a case of Fanta.

Grape or orange?

It's an
important distinction.

Whichever one gets you
off the roof faster.

Well, convoy's gonna need
solar panels

for when we find a place
to settle down.

Nothin' wrong in stockpiling
for the future, right?

No,
there isn't.

But I wanna go to the
record shop and see what I find.

You're talking
about the future.

Nice to hear you
looking in that direction.

It's orange,
by the way.

Ah, I was hopin'
for grape.

Hey, hey, come on.

Grace,
do you copy?

Go for Grace.

Daniel.

I got
a bunch of great records...

Chuck Berry,
John Lee Hooker,

Traveling Wilburys.

That was the convoy.

The oil fields...

we lost them.

I-I don't understand.

I mean, I'll do this,
but what's it for?

Just start
with your name.

Tom.
My name's Tom.

See, Tom,
it's not gonna be so bad.

I promise.

Where you from?

Paradise Ridge.

What's that,
a-a city, town?

Th-This... Whatever this is,
this isn't gonna work.

It will.

Whatever you're running from,
people need to know.

You can trust us,
Tom.

Whatever happened before,
that's not what we're about.

It's a condo complex.

- Like a settlement?
- A few dozen people.

Most of us
lived there before.

I was the president
of the HOA.

Only got the job
'cause no one ran against me.

Then two weeks later,
the dead started walking,

and everyone looked at me
like I knew what I was doing.

Well, you must have
'cause you're still here.

No, I got lucky.

The building had security.

Half the units
hadn't been sold yet,

so we had room
to spread out.

We used the pool
to filter water.

There's a rooftop garden
to grow vegetables.

So what
are you doin' here?

Like I said,
I got lucky.

And then
I got unlucky.

Our water supply
started to go bad.

We couldn't grow food.

The fence failed.

The roof started leaking.

We were ready to split
before they showed up.

- People on the horses.
- Did they attack you?

No. They showed up
and offered to help.

They said they'd clean
our water supply,

get us food while we figured out
how to grow our own,

fix the walls,

the roof,
whatever else we needed.

So what happened?
Why are they chasing you?

They said it was my fault

that things had gotten
to the place that they had.

They said they were trying
to build something bigger,

something better.

They said
that it wasn't about today.

It was about tomorrow.

I just wasn't
part of it.

My sister, Janis,
she's still in there.

They tried to kill me.

They'll do
the same thing to her

if I don't get her out.

Back up for a second.
Walk me through this.

- When they talked about today and tomorrow...
- Al.

- ...what did they say exactly?
- Just what I told you.

They said what they were doing
wasn't about today.

It was
about tomorrow.

All they cared about
was the future.

You heard what he said
about his sister, right?

We'll get her out.

We'll go in,
and we'll get her out.

We're clear.
Open her up.

So, they're in and out
every couple of hours.

They really want
to find you.

Probably shouldn't even
be this close, Tom.

I just don't understand
what they want with this place.

I don't know.

Whatever it was,
they didn't want me to see.

Alright.

You don't
have to do this.

Al, you gonna be smart
about this?

Gotta get in there before
something happens to his sister.

Or we could wait

till the people that are
after him are not in there.

Well, we don't know
when that's gonna be.

You need
to be in there now.

That is
about his sister, right?

It's not about
just chasing a story.

How can you even ask me
that question?

Fair.

Look,
it's not about a story.

I don't want you
to go in there on your own.

If you think
he needs to get to safety,

get him to safety.

I can get in,
get out

without any of those assholes
knowing I was ever inside.

Just said it was not about
chasing a story.

It's not.

He's not the only one
who needs something in there.

What does that mean?

Just trust me
on this.

Come on.

Come on.

What the hell?

You're welcome.

They clear the dead
whenever they kill them.

I just
have to get one close,

and then
we can get in.

You're not
goin' in there alone, Al.

Ain't goin' in there
at all.

You wanna tell me

who it is
we're lookin' for in there?

Tom's sister.

Who is it
you're lookin' for, Al?

I have trusted you
with a lot.

Think you could
do the same for me.

- Have you?
- Yeah.

Jenny.
The tapes.

Duane.

Yeah, told me a lot
about where you've been.

Yeah.

You haven't told me shit about
where you're at right now.

What are you
talkin' about?

Why don't you wanna
go back to the convoy?

We're droppin' help boxes,
settin' up outposts.

We're doin'
what we do.

You're doin'
that thing you did when...

when I first
interviewed you.

And what is that?

Runnin' from somethin'.

Don't know what.

Try not
to kill this one, okay?

We fried
the transmission.

We're pulling
too much weight.

Tess,
do you copy?

I'm here, Grace.

We're gonna be a while
before we get to the rendezvous.

Copy that. Let us know
if you need any help.

I wish
we were there.

When it happened,
maybe we could've helped.

But we were helping.

We got supplies.

All this stuff.

We could
come back for it later.

Made
the classic mistake.

I thought we could bring back
everything we found.

Usually, I'm the one
who's more of a realist.

There was no way
we could know

what was
gonna happen, Grace.

A year ago,
I was a realist.

I could not imagine
I would be here with you,

doing good things,
trying to help people,

making things right,
and here I am.

You, me, and a cat
with serious behavioral issues.

Bein' a realist is not
a realistic option anymore.

There's some places

we might be able to hole up
a couple of miles from here.

Moon's bright enough tonight
we can make it on foot.

Oh.

Ah, shit.

Morgan.

That tanker...
it's ours.

Not anymore.

Where you goin'?

You're right.

I have been avoiding
going back to the convoy.

Why?

It's complicated.
But if something has happened to them...

- Morgan, there's no way we can... We don't know that.
- If it has... If it has, it is my fault.

It is.

What is it
you think you can do?

I'm gonna talk to them. I'm
gonna find out how they got...

- They see you here, they will kill you.
- You don't know that.

- I do.
- How?

This
"bigger, better,

building towards the future"
stuff,

I have
heard it before.

From who?

Someone whose organization

might be working
with these people.

Someone I never thought
I'd see again.

And you're
lookin' for 'em?

Yeah.

Then go look.

I'll find
Tom's sister.

And I'm gonna find out
how they've got our truck.

There's a bar
just ahead.

And not
a moment too soon.

It's Skidmark's dinnertime,

and he is very particular
about schedules.

He's lucky
to have you.

After all this cat
has done for me,

the least I can do
is feed him.

What do you mean?

For a long time,
he was all I had.

We ate together,

we listened
to music together,

and, for a while,
it seemed like

that's the way
it was gonna stay.

What changed?

Well...

Aw, no respect
for vinyl.

Daniel.

Get the crate.

We gotta
get outta here.

Now!

Janis?

She's not here.

You find
what you're lookin' for?

Not yet.

It looks like she took care of
whoever was comin' after her,

but he might still be a problem
for us.

Copy that.

Al,
we gotta go... now.

You okay?

Thank you.

We gotta
get the hell outta here.

Whew!

Generator's purrin' like
a kitten in catnip coop.

You two sure know
how to make an entrance.

We're on our way.

Copy.

They're gonna kill us
like they tried to kill Tom.

I think
they would've done it by now.

We've been here.
We've seen this place.

That's enough.
Believe me.

Let's just find out
what they gotta say.

Sorry to
keep you waitin',

but you did leave quite a mess
in the pool.

Strawberry or apricot?

Hmm?

We make both.

Here, why don't you try
a little of each?

I'm sorry.

We should probably start
with the basics first.

I know you're Morgan,
and you're Al.

I'm Virginia.
Folks call me Ginny.

How do you know
our names?

I saw your tape.

It was a hoot.

I never considered "documentary
to spread the word" angle

until I saw yours.

Very smart.

So, what brings you
to Paradise Ridge?

Where's Janis?

Oh, you ran into Tom,
didn't you?

Well,
Janis must've run off

right after
her brother did.

Turns out,
she left a nice, little surprise

in her room, too.

You tried
to kill him.

No, we're tryin'
to preserve this place.

It'll be a lot easier
now that we have gas.

What did you do
to our friends?

Your friends are fine.

Unless you considered Logan
a friend,

in which case,
my condolences.

You had no right
to take it.

We're tryin' to do
the same thing you are.

Well,
not tryin'.

Doin' it.

You wanna help people.

So do we.

We just have different ideas
on how to accomplish it.

Yeah, you kill,
and we don't.

Spaghetti ain't simple,

and it's usually messy
one way or another.

We could help you, too,
if you'd let us.

Really?

How?

How's it been,

dealin' with the loss
of your family?

You should talk
to Miss Phieffer.

She's an MFT,
not a full headshrinker, now,

but, man,
she helps with perspective.

Bad patterns.

She travels between
the bigger settlements.

She talks to people.
She's good.

How big
are the settlements?

Like...

they have helicopters?

Helicopters?

Honey, we just got
a gas supply yesterday.

What made you have
that crazy idea?

I just wanted
to know.

Darlin',
I am an open book.

Ah, I wish
we could chat for longer,

but you got
a lot of work to do.

I told your friends the same
thing I'll tell you now.

Our doors
are always open to you.

That's it?

We're free to go?

That's right.

And I can
keep the tape?

I want you to show it
to as many people

as you possibly can.

The future's
a lot easier to get to

when you're not
doin' it on your own.

You think
this is about the future,

but what you're doin',
it's about the past.

It's about holdin' onto it
no matter what the cost.

Oh, Morgan,

I guess we'll just have to
agree to disagree.

Oh,
I completely forgot.

They always
remember these things.

We have a woodworker
in our community.

He's a real craftsman.

I asked him if he could
fix your stick for you.

He was happy
to oblige.

Says that joint should hold up
to whatever you throw at it.

Huh.

Thank you.

Sure thing.

This is the future,
Morgan.

You just
don't see it yet.

But you will.

Well,
unless you die out there.

People tend
to do that.

Which is why
we're doin' what we're doin'

and why
you should join us.

Go on.

Suck on a stone when
you could be slurpin' soup.

Daniel.

Rustled you up
some breakfast.

It's not
quite Cinnabon,

but Cinnabon-adjacent,
maybe?

Thank you.

There's no way those records
survived the night.

I'm sorry.

They may not
have stomped them all.

I wanted her to listen
to the Traveling Wilburys.

- Who?
- Charlie.

That's who
you got them for?

Uh-huh.

You asked me
what changed.

When did it stop being
just Skidmark and me

and the warehouse?

It was Charlie.

Nothing felt the same to me
after she showed up.

You think
you know what it is

that you're gonna
leave behind.

I thought it would be
my daughter, Ofelia,

but things don't always go
the way you think.

No,
they don't.

If things don't go
the way I think,

do me a favor.

Keep an eye on Charlie
and Skidmark.

Okay.

But the first thing
I'm gonna do

is find someone else
to keep an eye on them.

I thought you were
looking toward the future.

It's not about
how long I've got.

Back at the mall,
I decided that

I would start living
for something beyond today.

Seemed like a good idea
at the time,

but I have a bad record
of making things worse.

I try not
to blame myself too much.

I know
that's indulgent.

What is troubling you,
Grace?

Morgan.

I thought
I could help him.

I tried.

I think you've helped that man
more than you can imagine.

I saw him
in the mall.

He was smiling.

Smile, smile till he
run out of cheek.

Are you sure?

Yes.

You want Charlie
to hear the Wilburys?

Maybe we don't
need records.

What do you mean?

I took some lessons
when I was a kid.

I might be able
to pick it up.

We could
teach Charlie together.

What makes you think
I can sing?

♪ Well, it's alright ♪

♪ Ridin' around
with the breeze ♪

♪ Well, it's alright ♪

♪ Living life
as you please ♪

♪ Well, it's alright ♪

♪ Doin' the best
that I can ♪

♪ Well, it's alright ♪

♪ As long
as you lend a hand ♪

I'm so sorry.

All last night you spent
tryin' to help me,

tryin' to
find Janis.

We told you
we would.

She wasn't even there.

You could've been out
looking for your own people.

I got you into this.

Hey, we needed
to see it for ourselves.

Now we have.

Put your faith
in us, Tom.

Told you
we were gonna help,

and we're not gonna give up
till we have.

Tank's almost empty.

Really hope there's enough
in that gas can back there

to get us
to the rendezvous.

So, let's pick up
where we left off...

the, uh...
the card

that Duane made you
for Father's Day.

Card.

Yeah.

You know, that was...

Person you were lookin' for
in that place,

you care about 'em?

It's not
about me now.

It's about both of us,
isn't it?

Yeah.

I care about her.

I also c-care about
where she was from,

what they were doing.

She talked a lot
about the future.

I just wanted there
to be a connection, so I...

Virginia, what she's doing,
this is not that.

So, um...

the card.

I told Virginia
she was holdin' onto the past

no matter
what it cost.

She's not the only one.

I don't think
I need to do this anymore.

I, um...

Yeah, I think I'm good.

Okay.

Grace,
do you copy?

Grace?

Grace, if you're hearin' this,
tell me where you are.

I need...

We need to talk.

Morgan.

Daniel, hey.

Are you with Grace?

Yes. We were heading back
to the convoy,

and she seemed fine.

Then... And then,
suddenly, it changed.

I wanna talk to her.

Grace. Grace.
It's Morgan.

Morgan.

Hey. Hey.
Where are you?

We'll come to you.

I'm not sure.

We were on our way
to the rendezvous.

Are you okay?

Mm.

I'm not sure,
Morgan.

Mm.

What I was
worried about...

I think
it's happening.

Just tell me where you are,
and, um, we'll be there.

Mm. Mm.

We are at a bar
just south of the 290 junction.

290.
Copy that.

I hope I see you.

I'd like to see
that smile again.

I just...

I don't think there's...

much time left.

Thank you, Daniel,
for singing with me.

You're gonna be okay.

Okay.

I won't be
a realist, then.
