Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 12 - In Dreams - full transcript

What the hell do you unlock?

Just tell us where we
can find Morgan Jones.

Where's the place he's set up?

Is that a kick?

He is strong.

Grace,
do you hear me?

These contractions I think
they're getting closer.

What's wrong with you, lady?

Trying to get yourself killed?

You okay? Thank you.

Are you really sleeping
in a walker zone?



Uh...

I'm not so sure.

Back up.

Where'd you learn
to fight like that?

My dad taught me.

He's gonna kill me.

I'm not supposed toe
outside the wall alone.

We gotta move.

There's a clinic where I live.

Doctor can check you out.

Maybe you hit your
head or something.

What's your name?

Athena.

Athena?



Like the... Greek goddess.

My mom gave it to me

because she thought it
would make me strong.

What's your name?

I...

We better get you to the clinic.

Come on, lady.

Let's go.

Right there.

That's where I live.

No. This isn't possible.

How long have you been here?

Since I was born.

How old are you?

16. Why?

We only just built this
place a few months ago.

Hey, Max... let us in?

Come on. Let us in, Max.

Max: What the hell, Athena?

Remember what happened
last time you snuck out?

I know, but if I hadn't
snuck out this time,

she'd be husk chum by now.

She needs to see the doc.

If you just let me in,

my dad won't even
know I was gone.

Athena,
he already knows.

Morgan: You okay?

I'm fine.

What the hell were you thinking?

Babaji, I'm okay.

But I don't think she is.

Morgan?

Have we met before?

Max: Incoming.

Save the introductions
for inside.

Come on, inside.

Morgan: Go find the doc
to come check on her.

And we will talk later about

how you're gonna muck out the
stables for the next month,

you hear?

Are you okay?

It's everything you
wanted it to be.

You really don't recognize me?

I'm sorry.

My memory is not
what it used to be.

Morgan... it's me.

It's Grace.

How do you know about her?

Because I amher.

Why can't you see that?

I don't know what you're
trying to do here,

but you need to sto...
Morgan, I swear it's me.

The last thing I remember is
leaving this place with you

to go to the hospital
June was building.

But this place, it...
It was different.

If it's not me, how would I know

that we rode on a carousel
in a shopping mall?

Or that you and Duane used
to race cars together?

Morgan, it's me.

Grace?

Yes.

Yeah, this isn't possible.

You can't be here.

Why?

Are you sure it's me?

Morgan: I buried you myself.

How did I die?

Your baby.

The labor took a lot out of you,

and the radiation made you
sicker than we thought,

and it was...

I'm sorry. I tried to do
everything I could for you.

And my baby?

Is he...?

Did he make it? She.

And she did.

You've already met her.

I should've known.

Is she okay?

Mm-hmm.

I spent so much
time reading about

how it could all go wrong
because of what happened to me,

how the pregnancy wouldn't last,

how babies could
absorb the radiation

from their mothers. She's fine.

Trust me.

Before you passed, Grace,
you said you had one wish.

That you wanted to know

what Athena would be
e when she grew up.

I don't know, but

maybe that's why you're here.

People don't get
what they wish for.

Sometimes things happen
that you just can't explain.

She would love to
meet you properly.

I can't... We can't...

We don't even know
what this is, Morgan.

She asks about you.

There's only so much I know,

so there's only so much
that I can tell her. I know.

But I think we should
hold off on telling her,

at least until we
know what's going on.

June: Trying to
scare her, Morgan?

Usually I try to keep
people outof the grave.

I was just giving
her the walk-around.

This is Dr. Dorie.

Doctor? Well, self-taught.

I was a nurse before.

He insisted on the title change.

Athena told me what happened.

Let me just take a look.

It doesn't look like
you have a concussion

or any sign of brain injury.

What's the last tg you remember?

Um...

Traveling on the
road with someone.

And then

then it just starts
to get a bit fuzzy.

Okay. You'll stay here.

You'll get some rest.

Maybe some things will
start to come back to you.

Hand me that wate. Need
to keep her hydrated.

This is Charlie, my apprentice.

Charlie?

My parents thought
they were having a boy.

So did I.

Thank you.

It's gonna feel like a lot
of things have changed.

Daniel?

You don't happen to
be a barber, do you?

I'm getting too old for this.

We all are.

Maybe the next
stray you bring in

will actually be able to
give a decent haircut.

Are they actually...?

Friends? Yeah.
Something like that.

Dwight, how's the harvest
doing? Dwight: Good.

It'll be ready by next week.

Hey.

Hey, easy with that.

Who'd have thought?

He's more of a hellraiser
than I was at his age.

I don't
know about that, D.

Morgan, did you get
the tomato seeds?

Now's the time to plant 'em.

Oh, uh, yeah, I will
stop up at the seed store

on my run this afternoon.

Oh, sorry. This, um...

Hey, I'm Dwight.

Uh, Sherry.

And this is Tina.

And the boy over
there, that's John.

It's so nice to see such a
happy family living here.

We got lucky.

Come on.

Hey, don't forget
those seeds.Seeds.

Come on, bud.

When did they get back together?

Not long after Athena was born.

And Alicia?

Al, everyone else?

Alicia's running a
place of her own.

She fixed up the
burnt-out stadium

that she lived at with her mom.

And Luciana and
Wes went with her.

Al... Well, Al left a while ago.

She said she was
chasing a story,

but, uh, we all think what
she was chasing somebody.

What?

You know, I never did tell
you this from before, but...

I didn't think this
was gonna work.

I wanted to believe
like you did,

but after the way we all
fell out with each other,

and what we were facing...

I didn't think it would happen.

How'd you do it?

What brought everyone together?

We were struggling.

We didn't know who was
painting the graffiti

or what they would do to us.

We couldn't even agree wih
each other how to face them.

And then

then you had Athena.

And we lost you.

Everybody forgot
their differences

and rallied around that child.

They still do.

I'm just sorry

that you didn't live long
enough to see it happen.

Me too.

I think there's a way that
you can get to know her

without having to
explain what's going on.

I do.

Athena. Athena.

You want to go on a run?

I know what you're
doing, Babaji.

Morgan: Yeah?

You think if you take
me to the feed store

every once in a while,

I won't sneak out anymore.

And do you think it'll work?

Yeah. It might.

"In Dreams"?

Roy Orbison.

That's what you're
singing, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Never knew what it was called.

I never go anywhere
without it...

Even though my dad says it's
not safe to listen to out here.

Can I see it?

No.

I don't let anyone
else listen to it.

My mom, she wanted
me to have it.

It's the only thing
I have left from her.

Maybe not. What does that mean?

Morgan: Hold up. What?

Athena: What is
it? Eyes and ears.

Morgan: Athena,
wait right there.

Athena: Why is there a car here?

Morgan: Remember those
pee I told you about?

The ones who attacked us
just before you were born?

They used to leave
messages like that.

Hey, we need to
get back and warn everybody.

Morgan?

I've seen this before.

They used to be
all over this area.

You probably saw something
like it a long time ago.

No.

No, I've seen this before.

The car.

On a highway.

The signs.

You were there, too.

It's just like...

Morgan:
Grace, wake up.

I need you to wake up.

Morgan!

Grace, are you there?

Grace?! Grace?!

Athena: Lady!

We've got to get out of here!

Where is he?

Where's your dad?!

How far are we... Couple miles.

Grace,
can you hear me?

Did you hear that?

No. Grace...

Morgan?! Where are
you?! You hear my dad?

I'm right here, Grace.

There. I'm right here!

Did you hear that? Those
are just the husks.

Morgan! We're right here!

Grace, come on.

Morgan... where'd you go?

Please

where are you?

Morgan

where'd you go?

Come on, Grace.

Come back to me.

Come back to me.

I'm right here!

Grace... Morgan?!

We have to keep moving.

Grace... Grace: Morgan?!

I can hear you!

Lady, can you hear me?

Do you hear me?!

Come on.

The wall is just ahead.

I heard him... I swear.

Morgan.

You're gonna get us
both killed. Morgan!

Come on.

The wall is just ahead.

You just

killed him back there.

We need to get back.

No.

No, the wall is this way.

It's this way.

Morgan!

What's going on?!

Come on. The wall's just ahead.

Come on. The wall's just ahead.

Come on.

The wall's just ahead.

Come on. The wall's just ahead.

Come on. The wall's
just ahead. Come on.

We're almost to the wall.
We're almost to the wall.

We're almost to the wall.
We're almost to the wall.

The wall's just ahead.

This isn't real.

Eyes and ears.

Come on.

We're almost to the wall.

What are you waiting for?

I was with Morgan
on the highway.

I was en route to the
hospital June was building.

The... The car, it exploded
just like it did here.

I'm unconscious.

I'm unconscious.

What did you say?

Grace?

Hey, I'm right here.

I'm right here.

What did you say?

Grace, I need you to wake up
so we can deliver this baby.

I can't do this without you.

Grace. Grace, please.

Gonna figure out where
I've got you hid.

Wake up, Grace.

You gotta wake up.

That's why I kept
hearing Morgan's voice.

He was trying to wake me up.

Morgan?

Morgan, can you hear me?!

We need to get you
back to Dr. Dorie.

We have to go warn everyone.

Why can't he hear me? Morgan?!

You're gonna draw more husks.

That's why you
couldn't hear him.

You're not real.

That feel real?

It's in my head.

It's just fragments
of different memories

things that I've thought about.

My brain's trying to
make sense of it all.

I wanted it to be real.

I wanted you to be real.

Lady, you're gonna be wisg
for something else real soon.

Why could I hear him before?

The car, the explosion...

I started hearing him

when I saw things from before...

Hey!

You won't hurt me.

Give it back.

That belonged to my mom. I know.

I packed one just like
it to take to June's.

To listen to when
I was in labor.

You have a kid?

I will.

Come on, Morgan.

Come on.

Morgan: June?

June, can you hear me?

I repeat... can you hear me?

June: Morgan, I
copy. Where are you?

What's your ETA?

June... thank God.
There's no ETA.

We're... We're
not gonna make it.

We got attacked on the road.

There was an explosion,
and people came after us.

It's working.

We are now holed up
in a vet's office.

Who, Morgan? Who attacked
you? It doesn't matter.

Listen, Grace is unconscious.

I need you to tell
me what to do.

How are her vitals?

She is breathing.

But her pulse is weak,
best I can figure.

But she was
in labor when we left.

What?

I need to wake up.

He was right. I was in labor.

Okay, tell me where you
are. I'll try to get to you.

It's a vet's office.

It's at the junction
of 77 and 28.

That's at least five or
six hours' ride away.

We don't have any gas.

I'll come on horse. Okay.

Morgan, it's not just Grace
we need to worry about.

The baby could be
in distress, too.

Morgan, I'm here.

I'm right here.

How do I get you to hear me?

I gotta go. I think
they found us.

Who? Who found us?

Something's going on.

We're in trouble.

What is wrong with you? Of course
we're in trouble. Not here.

There. Riley: Morgan Jones?

You've been a hard man to find.

Leave. You're not real.

It's not gonna
make a difference.

We know you're here somewhere.

And you have something we want.

Morgan.

I thought this would
bring you back.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Morgan!

What did you do?

You broke it.

This is all I have let from her.

I didn't break it.

It's not working because
Morgan shut it off.

I need to find something else
that'll connect me to him.

Are we near 77 or 28?

77's close. 28's
not much farther.

Why? There's a vet's
office at the junction.

I need you to take me there.

Lady, I'm not
taking you anywhere.

Take me there or I
really break this.

Morgan Jones!

I'm sorry, Grace...

I have to move you.

I'm sorry, Grace,
I have to move you.

It's working.

Keep moving.

We need to get to that building.

Riley: So just show yourselves,
and this can all be over...

What was that?

You heard it, too?

Riley: Why wouldn't she?

Who are they?

I think they're the people
who blew up the car.

Athena?!

Athena!

Aah!

It's okay.

It's just a
contraction. I think.

You have something we want.

Where are they?

Where did they go?

It's okay.

I think they're contractions.

What?

Wait.

Why are you feeling them, too?

I was wrong.

You arereal.

That's the only thing
that makes sense.

We're connected.

I don't understand.

I'm your mother.

And I need to wake up
so you can be born.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Because I didn't know
how to explain it.

Because I didn't
think you were real.

I am real.

I know.

I'm sorry I took
your tape recorder.

Sorry I poked you with my stick.

So what happens
when you wake up?

I think all this

goes away.

It's not fair.

I just found out.

There's so much I want to know.

Guess I'll just have
to ask when I'm older.

Right.

You'll just have to wait.

It's happening like
this for a reason.

I need to wake up
so you'll be okay.

It'll take hours on
foot. It's too far.

Why was my dad playing
that song for you?

Wherever we really are.

It was one of your
dad's favorites.

I've heard him singing it.

No.

Not Morgan.

I was talking about
your biological dad.

What was he like?

His name was Matthew,
and he was kind and

handsome and smart.

Big Roy Orbison fan.

What happened to him?

We worked at a power
plant together.

He got exposed to some radiation

that made him very sick.

I lost him

before we got as close as
either one of us would've liked.

But I'll always be grateful
we had what we did.

Without him, I
wouldn't have you.

Morgan: Grace.

Grace, can you hear me?

It's working.

He's close.

You gotta wake up.

You gotta. They're
gonna find us.

Riley:
Get going! Go!

We don't have much time.

Get in there!

Break it down!

Wake up, Grace.

Wake up, Grace.

Morgan?

Grace?

The stables.

We're here.

What's wrong?

This may be the only time
I have with you, Athena.

Before...

I didn't tell you everything.

There's a reason why my

why oursubconscious

created this place
the way it did.

Why I wasn't a part of it.

Why my grave was
behind the wall.

Out there, in the real world...

I'm sick.

I was exposed to radiation
just like Matthew.

I survived long enough

for you to grow
inside me, but...

I don't think I
have much longer.

I don't think you're gonna
get the chance to know me.

No.

No,
you can get better.

People don't get better

with the kind of stuff
I've been exposed to.

I know why I'm here.

I was so scared

that you'd be born into a
world that didn't deserve you.

Where I couldn't protect you.

But now I know that you're
gonna be okay without me.

No. Because you're strong.

You are so strong.

And you're gonna bring
everyone together.

You're gonna be
the hope they need.

Come on.

Do you know the real reason why

I was outside the
wall when I found you?

I was worried about my dad.

About Morgan.

I thought if I went
out looking for seeds

then he wouldn't have to.

I don't want to grow
up without my parents.

And you won't have to.

Morgan, everyone,
they're gonna raise you

just like they did here.

You got nowhere to go.

Now how about giving
us what we came for?

Morgan: Grace,
you gotta wake up.

They're gonna find us.

Get behind me.

We gotta get through
the and inside.

No.

This isn't just the only
time you have with me.

It might be all I have with you.

And I'm gonna fight
for every second of it.

You should turn
around and leave now.

Turn around and leave now.

Hand over that key
you're wearing,

and this all goes away.

We've been looking for
that key for a while.

Hired someone to find it.

Even sent two friends after him

when he didn't deliver.

I'm guessing you
had something to do

with why none of them came back.

Just leave.

Or I will do to yu
what I did to them.

That key is gonna
change everything.

Riley: We're not
leaving without it.

Mom, look out!

You can't stop us.

I think I just did.

Mom...

How'd you get that?

My dad, Morgan, he gave it
to me when I was little.

He said to wear
it as a reminder.

Of what?

The cost of peace.

What does that mean?

Mom!

Grace, hang on.

What's wrong?!

Mom?!

June, she's not breathing.

She's not breathing.
I'm losing her.

You're already dead!

You both are.

She's not breathing.

Come on, Grace. Come on.

Grace, come on.

I know you thought this
would end differently...

Come on, Grace.

Come on.

Breathe! Breathe!

But that was just a dream.

I will never give
up on you, Grace.

You found us.

He's here for me.

Morgan: We don't have much time.

Are you ready?

I don't want to say goodbye.

But I have to.

Come on, stay with me.

Stay with me.

Come back.

Even if I'm not there,

I know you're gonna build
everything that we couldn't.

Please

come back to me.

Remember this when
you get older.

I will.

You can make sure of it.

Record what you
want me to remember.

Come back to me, Grace.

Please.

Come back to me.

I love you, Athena.

I always will.

Come back to me.

I don't want to lose you.

You won't.

You never will.

You don't have to be afraid.

I'll always be with you.

You can let go, my angel.

Well, good morning.

Oh, you're
awake, you're awake.

I'm here, Morgan.

I thought I lost you.

I had to come back.

So that Athena could be born.

Athena?

It's a girl, Morgan.

I'm gonna have a girl.

I'm gonna have a daughter.

I don't think I'm
gonna survive this.

No.

You don't know that...

I do. I saw it.

You saw what?

The future.

Her future.

Everything's going to be okay.

Because of her.

There's a playlist of
songs I left on this tape.

I hope when you listen to
them, they'll make you smile.

Make you feel like I'm
right there with you.

Because I will be.

Morgan: I got you that water.

Thanks, Morgan.

Is that for, um...?

Athena?

Athena.

You keep saying that name.

What happened when
you were out, Grace,

in that dream that you had?

What do you think it was?

I know when people

come as close to their
last moments as I did,

sometimes they see things.

Things they can't explain.

Like a near-death thing?

It felt real.

I really think it was her.

Hmm.

That's how I know that
everything's gonna be all right.

I've seen...

Ohh!

You okay? Yeah.

You drop the stick,

or I will shoot
you dead right now.

Do it.

I told you I was gonna
t what I came for.

Go.

Though something tells me

this time you're gonna
be less stubborn.

Morgan, what's he talking about?

That key around his neck.

Come on, you know what to do.

Stop, pl... Stop.
Grace: Morgan...

Just give me the key,
and I will walk away.

What does it open?

Why do you want it?

It doesn't matter.

It's inevitable.

No matter what you do.

"The cost of peace."

That's what she meant.

Morgan, give him what he wants.

That key is not the future.

She is.

This baby, she's
gonna create a future

where people like
you will never win.

Grace: That is inevitable.

So give him the key.

Because he's already lost.

He just doesn't know it yet.

Do it!

Do it!

Good luck.

You okay?

You don't
have to worry, Morgan.

She's gonna bring
everyone together.

She's gonna give everyone
something to fight for.

And I know it.

I know it.

Okay.

Okay.

I believe she will.

Morgan?

Morgan, what's wrong?

Why isn't she crying?

Why isn't she crying, Morgan?

Come on, baby.

Why isn't she crying?

Morgan?

Morgan?!

Morgan...

Let me see her.

I'm sorry.

Oh, baby.

Oh, my sweet baby girl.

Oh, you're so beautiful.

Oh, my Athena.

I, uh...

I
don't understand.

I don't.

I don't understand.

What I saw...

They weren't... They
weren't my last moments.

They were hers.

I thought it was
going to be different.

But it was just a dream.

It was just a dream.

It's in my head.

It's just fragments
of different memories.

Things that I've thought about.

My brain's trying to
make sense of it all.

This episode is
called "In Dreams,"

and the title has
several meanings to us.

I think the biggest one
is it's the title of

the Roy Orbison song which
looms so large in the episode.

And sort of on the other side,

the episode is
constructed as a dream.

I love you, Athena.

Both the song and the dream
itself build on each other

as we get more into Grace's head

and her vision for what she
hopes her daughter will become

and what role she'll
play in the future

even if Grace does not
survive long enough to see it.

What's wrong
with you, lady?

- Trying to get yourself killed?
- Oh, God.

We wanted Athena to be
strong, to be independent,

to be a leader,

someone that you would
absolutely understand

came from Grace and from
being raised by Morgan,

sort of the best
of both of them.

You get that right
from the beginning

when Athena saves Grace from
the walkers in the woods.

Where'd you learn
to fight like that?

My dad taught me.

She embodies all
of those things,

and, you know, she's a pretty
remarkable young woman.

Morgan?

We met before?

Goldberg: For Grace,
when she arrives

and Morgan doesn't
recognize her,

it doesn't compute for her
because she just saw Morgan,

and now he looks a lot older.

Everyone else is a lot older.

She's still wrestling with
"What is this that I'm seeing?

Is it a vision? Is it a dream?"

I think what was
important to us is that

only as the episode wears on

and she starts to find
these touchstones...

I've seen this before.

Of things that are palpably
from the real world

like the car spray-painted
"The end is the beginning,"

that's when it clues her
into what she's experiencing

and how she can get
back to reality.

No.

What's the matter?

I need to wake up. He was right.

I was in labor.

There's a drive to what's
happening for Grace,

which is that she needs to wake
up so that Athena can be born.

It was important to us
to construct it that way

so it wasn't just a dream

that Grace was a
passive participant in.

There is this real ticking clock
of Grace needing to wake up

so that this possible
future can happen.

I think Grace believes
Athena's going to be

the hope that people need

because Morgan essentially
tells her that.

When you had Athena
and we lost you,

everybody forgot
their differences

and rallied around that child.

They still do.

Grace now has seen firsthand

what an amazing
person Athena is,

and she's hopeful
and... and knows that

this birth is gonna be the
thing that changes everything.

We're connected.

I don't understand.

I'm your mother.

I think the beautiful
thing to the episode

is that she has to work
together with her daughter...

So that Grace can give birth

to the young woman that she's
fighting alongside in the dream.

There's a playlist of
songs I left on this tape.

I hope when you listen to
them, they'll make you smile.

Goldberg: Grace has been
pregnant for a while,

and she had that Walkman
with her to listen to

when she knew she
was going into labor.

Athena's biological father
was a big Roy Orbison fan.

"In Dreams"?

Roy Orbison.

That's what you're
singing, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Never knew what it was called.

Roy Orbison sings
in the song about.

"In dreams I walk with you,"

and that's what we've
seen her do with Athena.

So for Grace to be
listening to that,

she's manifesting
this idea that.

"All I have to do
is get through this,

and then that dream can happen."

And of course the
devastating part is

everything she experienced
is ultimately only a dream

and that none of it's going
to come to pass in reality.

Out there, in the real world,

I'm sick.

Grace knows from her experience
working in the power plant

that often pregnant moms, the
radiation exposure they have

will go to the baby.

And it was something that she
believed based on the dream

that maybe it was the opposite,

where she absorbed it all
and the baby didn't get it.

Morgan, what's wrong?

Why isn't she crying?

You know, her initial instinct
turned out to be right.

Let me see.

Morgan: I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

What I saw

they weren't my last moments.

They were hers.

It was just a dream.
