Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 9 - Episode #5.9 - full transcript
_
Well, it was different.
I, uh, was on the run, Al.
From what?
- What were you on the run...
- People.
It was people.
See, somebody helped me.
That's what this is all about.
And the thing I did was cleanup.
Cleanup?
You know, like, killing them.
It was what I decided I could do.
That was my job, what I was good at.
I took a step back.
And figured out what I
needed to... keep going,
to keep helping.
You were there, Al. You saw me.
That's the place
where I was gonna spend
the rest of my days,
alone, with that cat.
This is better, much better.
It's like, every morning,
I just count up my regrets
and... hang them over the shoulders
and... start the day.
What do you do with the
time that you have left?
That's the question.
The universe has tested
us in no uncertain terms.
There's a utility to that.
One becomes formed into something else.
A survivor.
There's power in that.
Money.
It doesn't mean anything now.
I think about those people
sitting on piles of it...
I don't know.
Eating caviar out of ladles, something.
They could've done
something for the world.
But they missed their chance.
Us? This group?
We're lousy with skills.
That's what being rich today is.
And we sure as hell
gonna spread the wealth.
I had some caviar once.
I didn't... I thought
it tasted like bait.
I get that people don't trust us.
I didn't trust her when she reached out.
Now I'm reaching out.
Things change.
And if we can make that spread...
... that's everything.
I got a chance here
to do exactly what I need to do,
so I'm taking it.
Every time we saw each other as people
and helped each other,
things got better.
We're good at this.
It's like everything else
was training for this.
When we got that plane back in the air,
when we landed it,
when we did the impossible...
some people noticed.
At least a few.
But that's all we needed.
Was that your plane?
I heard your message.
Found one of those boxes.
Can you really help me?
We haven't stopped since.
So you're helping people.
What about the other thing?
The other thing?
What's the... What's the other thing?
You said it was time
we all started living.
Yeah.
Well, that... that is, uh, something
we're still working on.
Why is that?
Because, um...
I guess sometimes it's easier
to see what other people need help with.
- Got it?
- Mm-hmm.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
Let's get back to it.

After what happened,
I wanted to make sure I wasn't
the only one doing this, so...
Sorry.
I'm... I'm not used to being
on this side of the camera.
It's been a while... a long while.
Like... back when
there was a bar to go to
at the end of the day.
Um...
We raided a Big Stop,
we took every camera battery
and tape we could find.
I know how important this story is.
And I couldn't be everywhere at once.
After we made contact with a few people,
we knew that there were more out there.
So we picked up more trucks
so we could cover more ground.
This is C&L One.
Anything going on out
there this morning?
All quiet on the southwestern front.
We're en route to tank town, Mo-Mo.
Hit you if we get any pings.
Got it.
This here is how we
keep the convoy humming.
Polar Bear's dudes hooked us up with it
when we got to the oil fields.
We go fill her up every
couple weeks or so.
Logan was right about one thing.
Gas is starting to go kaput.
It was hard enough trying to get places.
We drive the MRAP behind the tanker
to keep it safe.
Right, Skidmark?
There's still people out
there who want to get it.
And we'd like to think our
presence discourages them.
See... Logan thought we were stupid.
He thought we'd fall for
that good Samaritan schtick
a second time, but...
he just wanted the gas for himself.
And the dick squad.
But we got him good.
Hey! Hey!
What are you doing?! Where you going?!
Stop!
Karma's a bitch, Logie.
I mean, technically, what we did to him
is not different than what
we did to Clayton, but...
this felt good.
It did.
I got lucky.
Fell in with the, uh,
right folks this time.
Now I'm basically doing
the polar opposite of what I used to do,
and if I keep doing that
for the rest of my life,
well, uh... it won't make
up for everything that I did,
but I'll know I did some good.
And being on the road,
you know, I can find her.
Maybe.
He won't let me give him a haircut.
Doesn't matter what I look like.
It does.
Daniel.
Look at me, man.
It wouldn't take much
to make you look very presentable.
Let's move on out.
I'm in the Sprinter
with Strand and Luciana,
which means we're the lead
vehicle when we go out.
It used to be because I was,
like, the first line of defense,
but now I'm helping map out
which roads are still clear.
I think the change is good.
It's what I needed.
Tell me about Alicia.
She's my friend.
I wasn't with her when she needed me,
but I'm with her now,
and I'm doing what she can't.
Grace and I,
you could say we're in
charge of the caravan.
We left the river mill
'cause everyone we found
who's needed our help
was so far apart, it
just didn't make sense
to operate out of one place.
We try to keep everyone comfortable
when we're taking them back and forth
between the outposts we
set up along the road.
_
Rice noodles.
Oil.
Garlic powder.
We're running low on powdered eggs.
Growlers!
Everyone in the truck!
We'll find a place to call home.
Eventually.
But it's got to be the right place.
When's the wedding?
I think we've got more
important things to do.
As far as I'm concerned,
we're already married.
She has my word, and she has my heart.
That's all that matters in this world.
Sorry. What was that you were doing?
Earlier, you had your
fingers around your neck
like you were...
Like you were checking your lymph nodes.
I wake up every morning,
wondering if... today will be the day
I... start to feel sick.
Used to stop me from
doing a lot of things.
But now I'm trying to
do as much as I can...
while I can.
What are you listening to?
Oh, um...
It's an audiobook.
I listen to it at double speed
when we're on the road.
It's good.
Back when we were on that plane,
I never pictured this.
Us coming this far.
But I do feel good.
About what we're doing.
Seeing what it's doing for everybody.
What about you?
What do you think it's done for you?
Now, if you'd asked me
that before we met Tess,
I might not have had an answer for you.
But you do now?
Morgan, do you copy?
We could use some help.
Luciana?
Yeah, we copy.
Just tell us where we're going.
She was trying to reach
her husband on the walkie.
What's her name?
It's Tess.
He hasn't come back.
I-I don't know why it's taking so long.
Why don't you come out and talk to us?
I can't. I just...
I don't know where they are.
Ben rigged the field.
"They"?
You don't know where what are?
Landmines.
It was landmines.
Look out.
How many more mines you
got buried out there?
I don't know.
He wanted to make sure
no one could get close.
That's gonna bring a lot more.
We got to fix that fence.
♪ But they's a roadblock
up on the cloverleaf ♪

Yeah!
Sarah and Wendell really
like their trucker music.
It's, um...
It's all they listen to.
This is not music.
Oh, that ain't just music.
That's our anthem.
That's how we stay in touch
when I'm out on the road
and Wendell's back watching
the kids at tank town.
Chuckles, tank town is a
"need to know" kinda spot,
and nobody else needs to know, you know?
Cut the cam.
They should've shut Logan's mouth
as soon as he opened it.
No more words.
He'd proven the worth of his words.
Can you keep them from coming?
Yeah, we're trying.
If they get too close to
the house, there are...
Ben, he... he put them everywhere.
Gotta keep them away from that fence.
Yeah.
Tess?
Tess, talk to me.
I... I don't know what to say.
Where did your husband go?
He went to the drug
store to find an inhaler.
My son, he has asthma.
But he's all right?
His breathing, it's okay?
Yes.
No.
Yes, yes.
All right.
Look, we're gonna send
some people to look for him.
In the meantime, why don't you come out?
Come out and see what we look like.
Are those cameras?
Yeah, maybe we should
turn them off for now.
No, it's important.
Yes.
We are, uh...
We're recording
so that we can show
people what we're about.
Not a lot of people saw what we did.
With the plane.
Figure this is the best
way to get the message out.
Still figuring out a way
to... actually get people to watch it.
So they know we're not full of crap.
No, I can't leave.
All right.
June, Alicia, we need your help
- with a run for our new friend here...
- Tess?
... and a ammo re-up for me, pronto.
Come on, Tess.
Tell me why you can't leave.
I... I haven't left the house
since everything went bad.
We have supplies, a septic system,
and we even have a garden inside.
Would've been helpful if he'd made a map
of where those things are.
You know, it took me a long time
to leave the first
place I was holed up in.
Why is that?
Just did.
You all don't need
to put yourselves out.
Ben will be back soon.
I'm sure he will.
But we're gonna stay here all the same.
Make sure your boy gets what he needs.
Told you we were gonna draw a crowd.
You think they're gonna find him?
Uh...
We got on a plane,
crashed it, rebuilt it.
Somehow, finding
someone's husband out here
seems like it's harder.
You found June.
Maybe we ought to save the questions
till we're free and clear.
I guess this day hit us
all pretty close to home,
each in our own particular way.
There's no inhaler, Morgan.
He must've already been here.
He walked here to get it.
Which means he walked home.
Tess needed to leave that
house, and she couldn't.
That's what can happen when you
settle in one place too long.
Things go bad.
We decided to split up.
Thought we could cover
more ground that way.
_
Nothing this way.
You guys seeing anything?
Nada. Alicia?
My mom used to look for
the little bit of good
every time she went out into the world.
She would've liked this.
I haven't killed...
since after the plane.
Just seeing that tree, I...
I... just...
I didn't want to go back there.
John.
All right. I'll cover you.
Okay.
I knew this was loaded for Morgan.
That woman and her
son, and what he lost?
Does he talk about it?
No.
When I was a cop, you'd go whole shifts
without saying more
to your partner than,
"Good morning" and "Who's driving?"
Still, you knew what made 'em tick.
He got my back, I got his.
You couldn't ask for a
better partner on a run.
You're not gonna show
this to June, are you?
John's not a big talker.
At least not always.
Neither am I.
At least not always.
You want to put that down for a minute?
I've rolled during worse.
Back up, back up!
Tell me about the minefield.
Well... I've called a lot
of things ugly mustard,
but this was by far
the ugliest mustard I've ever seen.
What?
Where did that phrase come from?
Uh, it's something my
grandpa used to say.
He worked in a delicatessen.
If you hesitate, you
don't get the story.
It was intense.
Yeah.
We got to hit 'em before they...
You okay?
Trust me, words cannot describe it.
You two all right in there?
Yeah. Yeah.
Guys, where are we with the inhaler?
The tree wasn't the
only remarkable thing
we found out in those woods.
That walker that came at
Alicia wasn't just any walker.
It was him.
It was Tess's husband.
- That's all we have.
- Right.
Morgan...
Mommy? Mommy!
We don't know how close
those mines are to the house.
It could hurt the
people inside, the boy.
Morgan. Morgan!
It was loaded for me.
I knew it from the moment
I first talked to her.
Because of what happened
to your wife and son?
Yes.
Morgan, stay in the craters!
Don't move!
- We're clear!
- Don't move!
Your left foot.
Shit.
Morgan?!
John. Don't come any closer.
Yeah, we're not gonna
listen to you on that one.
I don't want anybody else to get hurt.
Well, neither do we.
Looks like this could
take a while, though.
Might as well have some company.
Huh?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy. Easy.
We have the inhaler.
Just take it easy.
We don't know how many more of
these things there are around.
What's going on out there?
Tess, we found the inhaler.
But we're gonna need you
to come out here and get it.
No. No, Ben... he'll be back.
He can get it. He can help you, too.
I didn't want to tell you like this.
Ben's not coming back, Tess.
No. No, he will.
We found him.
He had the medicine
that your boy needed.
He got what you needed.
Can you come out here?
No.
Whoever you found, it wasn't him.
He's coming back.
She just couldn't bring
herself to say goodbye.
I get it.
It's hard.
Morgan...
Morgan, I...
She's not coming out,
so we're doing this now.
Got to get that inhaler inside.
I'm putting the camera down.
No. They need to see this.
So, you dealt with one
of these before, Al.
Did an imbed in an EOD unit overseas.
That you're not already a
goner might mean it's a dud.
Or it's a pressure-release device.
- We can't know.
- Okay.
You should get back.
No. We can do this.
I'll talk you through it.
First, you just need
to dig out around it
- so we can see what we're up against.
- Dig out?
Yeah, gently.
Morgan.
A smaller blade...
that'd be more precise.
Thank you.
- Could you... ?
- Yeah.
Got it.
Thank you.
Okay.
Here.
Which one?
- Uh, this one.
- Here?
Should access the fuse, yeah.
Wait.
Wait. That... That could
trigger the firing pin.
Uh, yeah. It's... It's this one.
How sure are you about this?
Fifty-fifty.
Fift...
Okay.
Okay.
I had something planned for tonight.
Something I think we all need.
No, don't go making
any final pronouncements.
I'm not, John, I'm not.
I'm just saying we're still
gonna do it, all right?
Okay.
So, on three.
One...
two...
Wait.
What are you doing?
Pulling the firing pin.
That won't work.
I saw Ben do this a
hundred times before.
No, stay back.
I can help.
I want to help.
I know... he's not coming back.
He used these.
Thank you.
Right, as soon as the holes line up,
you're gonna slide the pin in.
Just... lift your foot very, very slowly
to release the pressure.
Okay.
I think that's in.
- Think it'll hold?
- I don't know.
Think you should back up.
Think everybody should back up.
Careful.
Come on.
Oh.
Move.
Let's go.
She hadn't stepped outside
the house in two years.
But she did today.
To help Morgan.
All because we were there to help her.
- Oh, my God.
- Morgan.
How do you feel?
How do I feel...
Whoa!
I didn't think she would come out.
Why not?
You can hear that somebody's gone.
You can see it for yourself.
And even then, you
still can't believe it.
Sometimes it...
Sometimes you just can't say goodbye.
We've been wanting to do it for a while.
Finally, we could.
Psst. Grace.
Tell me about the Pad Thai.
I had this recipe on
my fridge for years,
and... this is what it took
for me to finally make it.
I managed to find all the ingredients
in some form or another.
Worcestershire as fish sauce,
and ketchup packets are damn versatile.
It's just missing the peanuts.
He didn't think that everyone was bad.
He just thought...
that we should stay put.
Try to survive where we were.
That help would come someday.
He was right.
Thank you.
There's a proud tradition
of eating noodles around a campfire
with this group.
Come on.
You want to get some
practice in tomorrow?
It's been a while.
Actually, I'm kind of working
on something of my own.
Okay.
Hey.
I want to know who's
painting those trees.
I want to find them.
Missing spice or you want spice?
You never know where
help is gonna come from.
But we all need it at
one time or another.
Talking about Tess?
Talking about you?
You said you didn't think
you could answer my question
before you met Tess.
What did you mean by that?
I knew I needed help with something.
And I didn't know what it was.
And now you do?
It's been a long time since I lost them.
I still haven't said goodbye.
I think I need to, Al.
But I just don't know how.
I don't.
I need help.
Help finding my own way...
to make things better.
I need to figure out
how to make this world
a little more like the
one we used to have.
I need to find a place for all of us...
that won't be like the
other places I've been.
So, what now?
I've got a lot more things I want to do.
Making the most of my second chance.
Being the man
that my daughter would've been proud
to call her dad.
Ending each day
knowing I've tried to make
someone else's life better.
Doing right by the people
who took a chance on me.
Keepin' that rig chugging
for the poet of the pavement.
What about you, Al?
What do you need help with?
Making sure these stories
aren't just interviews on tape.
I started filming our
stories so we would have it.
It became about so much more.
We are out here helping,
but this is bigger than any of us.
And we can't do it on our own.
That's why we made this tape.
That's why you're watching it now.
We need you.
However you can
with whomever you can.
Because that's how this lasts.
When everyone starts helping...
... that's how we start
helping everyone.
So if you're watching
this, um, pick up a walkie,
leave somebody some food,
do something, do anything.
Help yourself.
Help them.
Help us.
Help everyone.
_
Shit.
Look, I don't want any trouble.
Yeah.
Neither did I.
There's something you need to see.
That's what happens to your shoes
when you walk 200 miles.
Imagine what happens to your feet.
The dead walk.
We weren't meant to.
Least I'm not.
Spent a lot of time...
clearing these roads with Clayton.
So did my crew.
And now we can't even make
use of our own handiwork...
'cause you took our gas.
Doris.
Hey. Hey!
I wouldn't do that if I were you!
Why don't you just tell us
where the oil fields are,
and...
we can forget all this horseshit?
I don't know what kind of horseshit
you're talking about.
I'm ignorant of said horseshit.
You're not with them?
With who? The people on that tape?
No. I'm not "with them".
More horseshit.
Different kind.
You steal that from them?
I like you.
Make sure he can't follow us.
Whoa.
Aww.
You got the front tire. It's not like...
Come on.
God.
Unless you want to join the
marching band over there...
... you might want to get out of here.
How?
Call them.
And when they pick you up...
tell them they're making more enemies
than friends out here.
And we got more bullets
than we know what to do with.
Well, it was different.
I, uh, was on the run, Al.
From what?
- What were you on the run...
- People.
It was people.
See, somebody helped me.
That's what this is all about.
And the thing I did was cleanup.
Cleanup?
You know, like, killing them.
It was what I decided I could do.
That was my job, what I was good at.
I took a step back.
And figured out what I
needed to... keep going,
to keep helping.
You were there, Al. You saw me.
That's the place
where I was gonna spend
the rest of my days,
alone, with that cat.
This is better, much better.
It's like, every morning,
I just count up my regrets
and... hang them over the shoulders
and... start the day.
What do you do with the
time that you have left?
That's the question.
The universe has tested
us in no uncertain terms.
There's a utility to that.
One becomes formed into something else.
A survivor.
There's power in that.
Money.
It doesn't mean anything now.
I think about those people
sitting on piles of it...
I don't know.
Eating caviar out of ladles, something.
They could've done
something for the world.
But they missed their chance.
Us? This group?
We're lousy with skills.
That's what being rich today is.
And we sure as hell
gonna spread the wealth.
I had some caviar once.
I didn't... I thought
it tasted like bait.
I get that people don't trust us.
I didn't trust her when she reached out.
Now I'm reaching out.
Things change.
And if we can make that spread...
... that's everything.
I got a chance here
to do exactly what I need to do,
so I'm taking it.
Every time we saw each other as people
and helped each other,
things got better.
We're good at this.
It's like everything else

At least a few.
But that's all we needed.
Was that your plane?
I heard your message.
Found one of those boxes.
Can you really help me?
We haven't stopped since.
So you're helping people.
What about the other thing?
The other thing?
What's the... What's the other thing?
You said it was time
we all started living.
Yeah.
Well, that... that is, uh, something
we're still working on.
Why is that?
Because, um...
I guess sometimes it's easier
to see what other people need help with.
- Got it?
- Mm-hmm.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
Let's get back to it.

charge of the caravan.
We left the river mill
'cause everyone we found
who's needed our help
was so far apart, it
just didn't make sense
to operate out of one place.
We try to keep everyone comfortable
when we're taking them back and forth
between the outposts we
set up along the road.
_
Rice noodles.
Oil.
Garlic powder.
We're running low on powdered eggs.
Growlers!
Everyone in the truck!
We'll find a place to call home.
Eventually.
But it's got to be the right place.
When's the wedding?
I think we've got more
important things to do.
As far as I'm concerned,
we're already married.
She has my word, and she has my heart.
That's all that matters in this world.
Sorry. What was that you were doing?
Earlier, you had your
fingers around your neck
like you were...
Like you were checking your lymph nodes.
I wake up every morning,
wondering if... today will be the day
I... start to feel sick.
Used to stop me from
doing a lot of things.
But now I'm trying to
do as much as I can...
while I can.
What are you listening to?
Oh, um...
It's an audiobook.
I listen to it at double speed
when we're on the road.
It's good.
Back when we were on that plane,
I never pictured this.
Us coming this far.
But I do feel good.
About what we're doing.
Seeing what it's doing for everybody.
What about you?
What do you think it's done for you?
Now, if you'd asked me
that before we met Tess,
I might not have had an answer for you.
But you do now?
Morgan, do you copy?
We could use some help.
Luciana?
Yeah, we copy.
Just tell us where we're going.
She was trying to reach
her husband on the walkie.
What's her name?
It's Tess.
He hasn't come back.
I-I don't know why it's taking so long.
Why don't you come out and talk to us?
I can't. I just...
I don't know where they are.
Ben rigged the field.
"They"?
You don't know where what are?
Landmines.
It was landmines.
Look out.
How many more mines you
got buried out there?
I don't know.
He wanted to make sure
no one could get close.
That's gonna bring a lot more.
We got to fix that fence.
♪ But they's a roadblock
up on the cloverleaf ♪
♪ And them bears was wall-to-wall ♪
♪ Yeah, them smokies is thick
as bugs on a bumper ♪
♪ They even had a bear in the air ♪

♪ 'Cross the U-S-A ♪
♪ Ooh, convoy ♪
Yeah!
Sarah and Wendell really
like their trucker music.
It's, um...
It's all they listen to.
This is not music.
Oh, that ain't just music.
That's our anthem.
That's how we stay in touch
when I'm out on the road
and Wendell's back watching
the kids at tank town.
Chuckles, tank town is a
"need to know" kinda spot,
and nobody else needs to know, you know?
Cut the cam.
They should've shut Logan's mouth
as soon as he opened it.
No more words.
He'd proven the worth of his words.
Can you keep them from coming?
Yeah, we're trying.
If they get too close to
the house, there are...
Ben, he... he put them everywhere.
Gotta keep them away from that fence.
Yeah.
Tess?
Tess, talk to me.
I... I don't know what to say.
Where did your husband go?
He went to the drug
store to find an inhaler.
My son, he has asthma.
But he's all right?
His breathing, it's okay?
Yes.
No.
Yes, yes.
All right.
Look, we're gonna send
some people to look for him.
In the meantime, why don't you come out?
Come out and see what we look like.
Are those cameras?
Yeah, maybe we should
turn them off for now.
No, it's important.
Yes.
We are, uh...
We're recording
so that we can show
people what we're about.
Not a lot of people saw what we did.
With the plane.
Figure this is the best
way to get the message out.
Still figuring out a way
to... actually get people to watch it.
So they know we're not full of crap.
No, I can't leave.
All right.
June, Alicia, we need your help
- with a run for our new friend here...
- Tess?
... and a ammo re-up for me, pronto.
Come on, Tess.
Tell me why you can't leave.
I... I haven't left the house
since everything went bad.
We have supplies, a septic system,
and we even have a garden inside.
Would've been helpful if he'd made a map
of where those things are.
You know, it took me a long time
to leave the first
place I was holed up in.
Why is that?
Just did.
You all don't need
to put yourselves out.
Ben will be back soon.
I'm sure he will.
But we're gonna stay here all the same.
Make sure your boy gets what he needs.
Told you we were gonna draw a crowd.
You think they're gonna find him?
Uh...
We got on a plane,
crashed it, rebuilt it.
Somehow, finding
someone's husband out here
seems like it's harder.
You found June.
Maybe we ought to save the questions
till we're free and clear.
I guess this day hit us
all pretty close to home,
each in our own particular way.
There's no inhaler, Morgan.
He must've already been here.
He walked here to get it.
Which means he walked home.
Tess needed to leave that
house, and she couldn't.
That's what can happen when you
settle in one place too long.
Things go bad.
We decided to split up.
Thought we could cover
more ground that way.
_
Nothing this way.
You guys seeing anything?
Nada. Alicia?
My mom used to look for
the little bit of good
every time she went out into the world.
She would've liked this.
I haven't killed...
since after the plane.
Just seeing that tree, I...
I... just...
I didn't want to go back there.
John.
All right. I'll cover you.
Okay.
I knew this was loaded for Morgan.
That woman and her
son, and what he lost?
Does he talk about it?
No.
When I was a cop, you'd go whole shifts
without saying more
to your partner than,
"Good morning" and "Who's driving?"
Still, you knew what made 'em tick.
He got my back, I got his.
You couldn't ask for a
better partner on a run.
You're not gonna show
this to June, are you?
John's not a big talker.
At least not always.
Neither am I.
At least not always.
You want to put that down for a minute?
I've rolled during worse.
Back up, back up!
Tell me about the minefield.
Well... I've called a lot
of things ugly mustard,
but this was by far
the ugliest mustard I've ever seen.
What?
Where did that phrase come from?
Uh, it's something my
grandpa used to say.
He worked in a delicatessen.
If you hesitate, you
don't get the story.
It was intense.
Yeah.
We got to hit 'em before they...
You okay?
Trust me, words cannot describe it.
You two all right in there?
Yeah. Yeah.
Guys, where are we with the inhaler?
The tree wasn't the
only remarkable thing
we found out in those woods.
That walker that came at
Alicia wasn't just any walker.
It was him.
It was Tess's husband.
- That's all we have.
- Right.
Morgan...
Mommy? Mommy!
We don't know how close
those mines are to the house.
It could hurt the
people inside, the boy.
Morgan. Morgan!
It was loaded for me.
I knew it from the moment
I first talked to her.
Because of what happened
to your wife and son?
Yes.
Morgan, stay in the craters!
Don't move!
- We're clear!
- Don't move!
Your left foot.
Shit.
Morgan?!
John. Don't come any closer.
Yeah, we're not gonna
listen to you on that one.
I don't want anybody else to get hurt.
Well, neither do we.
Looks like this could
take a while, though.
Might as well have some company.
Huh?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy. Easy.
We have the inhaler.
Just take it easy.
We don't know how many more of
these things there are around.
What's going on out there?
Tess, we found the inhaler.
But we're gonna need you
to come out here and get it.
No. No, Ben... he'll be back.
He can get it. He can help you, too.
I didn't want to tell you like this.
Ben's not coming back, Tess.
No. No, he will.
We found him.
He had the medicine
that your boy needed.
He got what you needed.
Can you come out here?
No.
Whoever you found, it wasn't him.
He's coming back.
She just couldn't bring
herself to say goodbye.
I get it.
It's hard.
Morgan...
Morgan, I...
She's not coming out,
so we're doing this now.
Got to get that inhaler inside.
I'm putting the camera down.
No. They need to see this.
So, you dealt with one
of these before, Al.
Did an imbed in an EOD unit overseas.
That you're not already a
goner might mean it's a dud.
Or it's a pressure-release device.
- We can't know.
- Okay.
You should get back.
No. We can do this.
I'll talk you through it.
First, you just need
to dig out around it
- so we can see what we're up against.
- Dig out?
Yeah, gently.
Morgan.
A smaller blade...
that'd be more precise.
Thank you.
- Could you... ?
- Yeah.
Got it.
Thank you.
Okay.
Here.
Which one?
- Uh, this one.
- Here?
Should access the fuse, yeah.
Wait.
Wait. That... That could
trigger the firing pin.
Uh, yeah. It's... It's this one.
How sure are you about this?
Fifty-fifty.
Fift...
Okay.
Okay.
I had something planned for tonight.
Something I think we all need.
No, don't go making
any final pronouncements.
I'm not, John, I'm not.
I'm just saying we're still
gonna do it, all right?
Okay.
So, on three.
One...
two...
Wait.
What are you doing?
Pulling the firing pin.
That won't work.
I saw Ben do this a
hundred times before.
No, stay back.
I can help.
I want to help.
I know... he's not coming back.
He used these.
Thank you.
Right, as soon as the holes line up,
you're gonna slide the pin in.
Just... lift your foot very, very slowly
to release the pressure.
Okay.
I think that's in.
- Think it'll hold?
- I don't know.
Think you should back up.
Think everybody should back up.
Careful.
Come on.
Oh.
Move.
Let's go.
She hadn't stepped outside
the house in two years.
But she did today.
To help Morgan.
All because we were there to help her.
- Oh, my God.
- Morgan.
How do you feel?
How do I feel...
Whoa!
I didn't think she would come out.
Why not?
You can hear that somebody's gone.
You can see it for yourself.
And even then, you
still can't believe it.
Sometimes it...
Sometimes you just can't say goodbye.
We've been wanting to do it for a while.
Finally, we could.
Psst. Grace.
Tell me about the Pad Thai.
I had this recipe on
my fridge for years,
and... this is what it took
for me to finally make it.
I managed to find all the ingredients
in some form or another.
Worcestershire as fish sauce,
and ketchup packets are damn versatile.
It's just missing the peanuts.
He didn't think that everyone was bad.
He just thought...
that we should stay put.
Try to survive where we were.
That help would come someday.
He was right.
Thank you.
There's a proud tradition
of eating noodles around a campfire
with this group.
Come on.
You want to get some
practice in tomorrow?
It's been a while.
Actually, I'm kind of working
on something of my own.
Okay.
Hey.
I want to know who's
painting those trees.
I want to find them.
Missing spice or you want spice?
You never know where
help is gonna come from.
But we all need it at
one time or another.
Talking about Tess?
Talking about you?
You said you didn't think
you could answer my question
before you met Tess.
What did you mean by that?
I knew I needed help with something.
And I didn't know what it was.
And now you do?
It's been a long time since I lost them.
I still haven't said goodbye.
I think I need to, Al.
But I just don't know how.
I don't.
I need help.
Help finding my own way...
to make things better.
I need to figure out
how to make this world
a little more like the
one we used to have.
I need to find a place for all of us...
that won't be like the
other places I've been.
So, what now?
I've got a lot more things I want to do.
Making the most of my second chance.
Being the man
that my daughter would've been proud
to call her dad.
Ending each day
knowing I've tried to make
someone else's life better.
Doing right by the people
who took a chance on me.
Keepin' that rig chugging
for the poet of the pavement.
What about you, Al?
What do you need help with?
Making sure these stories
aren't just interviews on tape.
I started filming our
stories so we would have it.
It became about so much more.
We are out here helping,
but this is bigger than any of us.
And we can't do it on our own.
That's why we made this tape.
That's why you're watching it now.
We need you.
However you can
with whomever you can.
Because that's how this lasts.
When everyone starts helping...
... that's how we start
helping everyone.
So if you're watching
this, um, pick up a walkie,
leave somebody some food,
do something, do anything.
Help yourself.
Help them.
Help us.
Help everyone.
_
Shit.
Look, I don't want any trouble.
Yeah.
Neither did I.
There's something you need to see.
That's what happens to your shoes
when you walk 200 miles.
Imagine what happens to your feet.
The dead walk.
We weren't meant to.
Least I'm not.
Spent a lot of time...
clearing these roads with Clayton.
So did my crew.
And now we can't even make
use of our own handiwork...
'cause you took our gas.
Doris.
Hey. Hey!
I wouldn't do that if I were you!
Why don't you just tell us
where the oil fields are,
and...
we can forget all this horseshit?
I don't know what kind of horseshit
you're talking about.
I'm ignorant of said horseshit.
You're not with them?
With who? The people on that tape?
No. I'm not "with them".
More horseshit.
Different kind.
You steal that from them?
I like you.
Make sure he can't follow us.
Whoa.
Aww.
You got the front tire. It's not like...
Come on.
God.
Unless you want to join the
marching band over there...
... you might want to get out of here.
How?
Call them.
And when they pick you up...
tell them they're making more enemies
than friends out here.
And we got more bullets
than we know what to do with.
