Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 14 - Mother - full transcript

I wouldn't be standing here if
Alicia didn't stick her neck out for me.

Now, you and the folks
you came here with

destroyed everything we
have been working toward.

Years of work.

You destroyed it!

What do you want?

To save you, Alicia.

I don't need saving.

I know you don't believe
in this, but you will.

Intensive care units
across the country

are reaching capacity,



and hospital morgues are
filling at an alarming rate.

Medical and government
officials are joining forces

to try to quell what is
quickly becoming an epidemic.

We are hearing
report after report

of grisly attacks in hospitals

by patients who are no longer
in control of their faculties.

We are seeing sick people no
longer seeking medical care

because of violence
erupting from patients

no longer in their right minds.

No!

No!

No! Oh, God!

No! No!

Come on! Let's go!



Don't be afraid, George.

Don't be afraid.

Remember, the end
is the beginning.

You're about to be
given a new life.

You actually believe all the
bullshit you spew, Maddox?

Get it all out.

You'll be walking
this walk soon enough.

Oh.

Ah.

Guards! Guards! Open the door!

Hey! Stop!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

I was right. I was right.

I just needed to be patient.

It's not bullshit, Hayes.

It's revelation.

Oh, God.

You have been here before.

You have lived
this moment before.

We don't want to
believe that, do we?

We don't want to
accept the circularity.

But believe me when I tell you,
my friends, we are in a loop.

You have been here before.

You have lived
this moment before.

We don't want to
believe that, do we?

You have been here before.

You have lived
this moment before.

before.

We are in a loop.

We are in a loop.

In a loop.

In a loop.

In a loop.

This world wears its
ugliness on its sleeve.

It has told us who it is.

Are you ready to
accept his word?

Accept the pattern.

Or break it.

We can break it.

We must break it,

or we're doomed to repeat it.

You have been here before.

You have lived
this moment before.

We don't want to
believe that, do we?

This world wears its
ugliness on its sleeve.

It has told us who it is.

And it leaves us with a choice.

Accept the pattern.

Or break it. Or break it.

We can break it.

We must break it, or
we're doomed to repeat it.

You stopped sending
your errand boy.

You stopped eating your beans.

This wasn't my preferred

method of induction
for you, you know.

Locking me up like a prisoner?

I was locked up myself once.

Oh, I thought it was the
end of the road for me.

Turns out, it was
just the opposite.

I'd hoped that, uh,

it would yield the same
revelation for you.

Sorry to disappoint.

Oh, but I-I do bring good news.

We've found our new home.

The others are packing up
to head there as we speak.

Oh, this place has
served its purpose,

but we needed, eh,
something safer, sturdier,

somewhere we could,
uh, truly begin again.

You know?

Now, before we take our
first steps together, Alicia,

I need some assurances from you

that you are, um...

I don't know, dedicated,

committed to what
we're doing here.

Well, you're not gonna get them.

What am I gonna get from you?

I don't know. Something
you probably won't like.

We're wasting our time with her.

Riley. She's never
gonna see the truth.

Riley. Let's end
this right here.

Let's leave her behind.

No. No.

She's coming with me.

Surprising what you pick
up on death row, huh?

Where are you taking her?

I have a personal
matter to attend to.

I want her to accompany me.

Why her?

I would like to get to know
her a bit better, Riley.

I have a feeling she
is going to be critical

for our new beginning.

Don't question me
about her again.

Who are they?

New recruits we picked
up on our scouts.

Welcome, welcome.

You all are gonna see
our new home, huh?

Dakota?

Alicia?

She a friend of yours?

It's not the word I'd use.

She killed someone I knew.

Why?

Something that had to be done.

Have you come to us alone?

No family?

She actually tried
to kill her mother.

Did you succeed?

I didn't.

Someone else did.

A woman after my own heart.

You hop in. You're
coming with us.

I'm not going anywhere with her.

I'm afraid you're not at
liberty to make that call.

If you're smart, you
wouldn't bring her.

You shouldn't go
with either of them.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Alright, alright, alright.

Now,

if I don't
show up by tomorrow,

you know what to do.

Now, come on. Let's go
see what we got, huh?

Listen, Alicia, this
isn't what it looks like.

It wasn't the last time, either.

This is different.

I went looking for
you in the city.

I followed them on all their
scouting missions as best as I could,

hoping that you'd be on one
of them, but you weren't,

so I got in with them,
told them I wanted to join.

I came here to help you.

I don't want your help.

I don't need your help.

I left after I heard what
happened underground.

Alicia, it's getting really bad.

Morgan tried to bring
everyone together

to try and figure out how to beat these
people, but I think it's getting worse.

I'm not listening to you.

I want to make up for
what I did. I need to, Alicia.

Whether you believe me or not.

I heard them talking about
the place they're going,

that it's stocked
with so many supplies

that they wouldn't even have
to step outside for years.

We can kill him.

He is scary as
hell, but he's old.

We could do it.

You know, he's stupid for
not believing who we are.

There is no we here.

There never will be.

Just stay out of my way.

You want to know
what he's up to,

where it is that he's going,

why he's got those
keys on his necklace.

So, what are you gonna do?

Shall we?

Alright.

This isn't gonna work.

What isn't? Bringing me out
here is not gonna break me.

I don't understand.
Oh, cut the shit.

I know you listened to all
the recordings Riley made.

Somebody told you
about the stadium?

Who was it? Luciana?

What, the stadium? The
place I used to live.

Oh, with your mother.

The place where you told me
she... she grew the crops?

Oh, you expect me to believe
this is just all a coincidence?

There are no coincidences.

The universe sends us signs,

and it's up to us
to interpret them.

Like what?

Well,

I don't think it's an
accident you're here, Sioux.

Sioux? Sioux Falls.

It's my favorite
city in the Dakotas.

But your arrival, or
the timing of it, I...

It's for a reason.

And what's that?

Well, these things tend
to reveal themselves.

Yeah.

Can you give me a hand?

Yeah. Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Hello, Mother.

Mother?

How did she die?

She was taken way
before her time.

No, but that doesn't
mean that she can't be

part of our new beginnings.

When we're finished, all this

will be gone.

This is why you brought us out
here? To dig up your mother's corpse?

Look, all three of
us have lost mothers,

and I wanted both of you to help me
accompany mine back to our new home.

Why?

God, I wanted to break these
patterns for such a long time.

I told my mother
I was gonna do it

and wound up in a prison
cell condemned to death.

I thought I'd just

failed.

Every night, in
my... In my cell,I...

I looked at this.

Disgusted with myself
for what I'd done.

I thought I got it wrong.

It was all for nothing.

But then I realized
I wasn't wrong.

I just needed to be patient.

And then

it happened.

What happened?

The world changed, and with it.

My freedom,

and a chance to
reshape the world

into everything I
believed it could be,

where I could preserve
everything I...

loved

and destroy everything I didn't.

You think you can do all
that with a pair of keys?

What do they unlock?

Oh.

Our future.

You're really starting
to sound like my mom.

W... Mother!

Oh! Oh, God!

Oh, my God!

Mother.

Oh.

Mother.

It'll be alright.
Would you please come here

and help me get her
back onto the truck?

Please.

Right. Okay. Alright.

There we go.

Teddy. It's okay. What?

Oh. Don't.
You'll draw more.

Take that.

A-ha.

Cole?

Alicia?

Is that you?

I was gonna ask you
the same question.

Who the hell is that?

An old friend.

What kind of old friend?

Her mom

is the only reason I ain't
one of these skinbags.

Your mother, huh?

How's that for a sign?

Riley, are you there?

We are in need of some
roadside assistance.

Riley, do you copy?

Uh...

I'm gonna see if
I fare any better

up the road a bit.

Come on.

I can't believe it's you.

You been on the... the road?

Yeah.

Long time, Alicia.

We spent weeks
looking for you all.

When we didn't find you, well, we just
thought you must've died in the fire, too.

Wait, "we"?

Doug. Viv.

Bunch of us from the stadium are still
around thanks to your mom, what she did.

How's your brother?

I'm sorry.

Luciana, she's still alive.

Victor, too.

Where are they?

Luci lives at the
same place I do.

Victor

went his own way.

He always does.

What you doing out
this way, Alicia?

You must've come from far all this...

gas you're carrying.

You don't see much
of that these days.

Teddy's been stocking up on
some supplies for a while.

Who is he? What's his deal?

I'm still trying
to figure it out.

No signal.

I don't suppose you
know where we could, uh,

find a new car, do you?

But there's an old auto
parts shop nearby.

I wouldn't go
there on your own.

It's not safe around here.

Seen these before.

How they set them for
people passing through.

"They"?

Unsavory types.

Take whatever they want.

I was out on a food run, I
ran into a bunch of them.

Been trying to get back
to my people ever since.

A lot of the dead you see
around here, they killed them,

left them looking
like Swiss cheese.

After they took
what they wanted.

I'll get you where
you need to go.

I know which roads to take.

You don't need to do
that. I believe he does.

Lead the way.

I am gonna need, uh,
your gun, though.

I'm not handing anything to you.

Alright.

Hand it to her, then.

I'm beginning to trust you.

I just want to make
sure we can trust him.

It's alright.

How long were you locked up?

Mm, almost 30 years.

What did you do to get in there?

Mm, I killed some people
who got in my way,

people who didn't see
the world the way I did.

My mom locked me up.

Did everything she could
to get me away from people.

Did you know any of them?

A few.

Did you feel bad killing them?

Do I detect some guilt

over your own acts
of malice, Sioux?

I only killed people I had to.

So, you knew them, then?

One of them more
than the others.

You know, for a
bit, he was

kinda starting to become like family.

Did you feel bad about
what you did to him?

No.

Didn't really give
me much of a choice.

But when I tell people that,

they look at me
like they're scared.

But from what I can tell,
that's just how things are now.

Oh, but people... Yeah,
you don't frighten people.

I mean, they're frightened
by what you're saying

'cause they know it's the truth.

And you're right.

It is the way of things now.

This is it.

You got my gun.

We could take him
out. No, I can't.

Not until I know
what he's doing.

But if he's gone,

doesn't seem like there'll
be much to worry about.

He's got a group. If he
doesn't do it, they will.

Any idea what "it" is?

No, I don't know, but it's
gotta be something big.

He and his followers have
been setting up a place,

a bunker, with enough
food to last for years.

You know, you could join us.

After you find out
whatever you need to.

Me, Doug, Viv, and the others,

we got it pretty
good where we're at.

Cole, I can't.

I've been looking for a
way to pay back the favor

for what Madison did for me.

Maybe running into
you... Maybe this is it.

Maybe I finally found it.

Is there a problem?

You remind of her.

Who?

Mother.

My mother.

Have you decided yet
what you're gonna do?

You gonna join us underground?

No, 'cause you're wrong.

Hands up.

Cole?

Those unsavory types?

I'm one of 'em.

You can take them off now.

Viv? Sorry, Alicia.

Doug?

Are you kidding me? No.

We're not.

After her mother
saved your lives?

Yeah, well

maybe she should've let us die.

Wasn't lying when I
said I got attacked.

We all did.

We're the only ones who didn't
get shotgun shells to the gut.

When?

When?

About a week after the
fire at the stadium.

What happened?

We were looking for
a place to hole up,

to regroup so we could
come looking for you,

and Nick, and
Victor and Luciana.

Went into a motel off 78,

and there were some people
in there waiting for us.

They killed most of us.

Who's left?

You're looking at us.

So, you've decided
to do the same thing

to whoever else
crosses your path?

This is what I've been trying

to get you to
understand, Alicia.

The patterns of the universe.

It's because of
people like you, Cole,

that the world needs
to be destroyed.

Hey.

We ain't proud of
living like this,

but it's all we can do.

We had another way.

And you know how that ended.

We tried to find you,
to do something more

than just look
out for ourselves.

Then, well,

most of us were gone.

So, we found this way,
and we're still standing.

You became the people we
were always fighting off.

There's always bad
people out there

waiting to make things go south.

That is, south for
you, not for them.

You know how we
can fix it, Alicia?

Getting rid of them.

That seems hard to do when
you're on this end of my shotgun.

Keep walking, Gramps.

Hey, Alicia.

I didn't come over here to rub
salt in your wounds, but, uh...

I know what you're
thinking right now.

Oh, I highly doubt that.

Eh, you're thinking your...
Your mother died for something,and

all the people she saved are

somewhere out there
living meaningful lives.

But most of them are dead,

and the ones that aren't are
living like bottom feeders.

This is what you want.

Well, I don't want
to see you in pain.

But you don't understand.

We're both after the same thing,

for you to fulfill
your potential.

The more I learn about you,
the more confident I am

that you are the person
I've been looking for.

You're delusional. I...

But... But you don't
know what it is

I'm setting out to do.

No, I have no idea.

I've been trying to
figure that out for weeks,

and I have no clue.
No one does,So, just tell me.

When you're ready.

Hey.

Now, what is it about
guns pointed at you

makes you think you
can take a break?

We gotta move.

Take the truck. Take
whatever you want in it.

We'll walk out of here
and never both you again.

Right?

Mm, I don't make
promises I can't keep.

No, we tried playing nice once.

And the assholes we robbed,

they came back and
nearly killed us.

But this place you're headed...

Man, it sounds really nice.

So, you won't mind telling
us exactly where it is.

There's gotta be a map.

Oh, no, you're not gonna
find anything in there.

It's in there, huh?

'Cause I'd be more than happy
to open that up for you.

Cole... Why are you
protecting this asshole?

Where is this
place you're going?

Teddy.

It's okay, Sioux. It's okay.

We've been here
way too long, Cole.

All this noise...
It'll bring more dead.

Forget him, Cole.
We've got a truck.

We've got gas. We've got food.

That's more than we
had this morning.

Nah, this place he's hiding...
It's stocked with supplies.

He's got water, he's got power.

We'll be safe there.
We could live there.

Where is it? Go on.

Kill me. Return me to the earth.

I will live on,

and, uh, someone else will
finish what I started.

I know how to get you to talk.

Move.

Move!

I saw how upset you were
when her body went flying.

Teddy.

What the hell?! I'll
blow her damn head off!

Go on.

What kind of
a psycho are you?

Eh, you're the one who's shooting
shotgun shells into a corpse.

I'm sorry. Oh, don't be.

That's not my mother.

Wait. What did you say?

My mother's buried on the
family farm outside Grapevine.

So, you lied to us? No.

I showed you the truth.

But you were right, Alicia.

I confess.

Our journey here was
not a coincidence.

I was, uh, hoping
to find, um, proof

that all the people that
your mother saved were dead,but

I didn't suspect that I
was gonna find a living one,

which, uh, proves
my point even more.

Fix the tires.

We'll take the truck.

Hey.

I'm sorry, Alicia.

I really am.

I know what your
mother did for us.

So, I'm gonna do something
I normally wouldn't.

Come with us.

I can't.

I have...

I have to find
out what they're doing.

Why? Because
people will die if I don't.

Who? Victor?

Then why isn't he out
here looking for you?

That truck, that gas,

we can get the hell out of here.

We drive smart, we can get
halfway across the county,

far away from
whatever he's doing.

And you know Victor would
be doing the same thing.

I gotta warn you, Alicia,
you don't take me up on this,

we got no choice but
to kill you, too.

Well, I guess that makes my
decision a little easier.

You can go to hell.

On your knees. Now.

I'll make it fast.

One more chance, old man...

Where are you going?

Alright. Doug? Viv?

It's okay, Everything
I planned will proceed

even without us being present.

Are you really going to do this?

I gave you your out, Alicia.

We'll put you down. Bury you.

Oh, thank you.

You two... Well, you two
can be a warning to others.

Get it over with. We're
about to have visitors.

Viv? Doug? Look at
me. We can work this out.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Nah, we've heard
that too many times.

I'm sorry, Alicia. I really am.

Oh, they don't
know what we know.

Hey, Cole.

Killing people you know can be
very difficult if you're weak.

Good thing we don't know you.

Move.

Viv. Viv.

You okay? Yeah, you?

I'm gonna miss this.

Don't. I'll shoot you, Alicia.

Kill him! Wait.
Wait.

Shoot him.
Do it!

She died so you
could have a chance.

Alicia, I know you don't want to
get rid of your mother, but...

Shut up! I'm not talking to you!

You were supposed to
make it mean something.

And you threw it all away.

Maybe it's time you
listened to your friend.

Maybe it's time
you just let go...

You know, you're wrong.

You don't have to destroy
everything to make it better.

Just people like him.

See? It's not as
hard as you think.

For you.

No, not just for me.

It's just how the
world is working now.That...

That's what I
tried to explain to John.I just...

I wish he'd seen
it the same way we do.

I told you there is no "we".

I didn't want to kill him.
I had to do it.

I want to believe
in something better.

Like your mom did?

I never had that.

No one ever gave me
anything to believe in.

That's not true.

I tried.

And you threw it away,
just like they did.

I'm so proud
of you, Alicia.

You let go of your past.

You... You... You
aren't afraid to change.

That doesn't mean I'm about
to fall in line behind you.

You're not afraid
to question me.

You really do
remind me of Mother.

Did she think you
were a nutjob, too?

When I was at mortuary school,

when I was trying to figure out

how I could change things,

mother found my
journals and read them.

She saw the part
where I wrote about

why we needed to end everything.

She thought I was sick.

No, no.

"Disturbed" was
the word she used.

She threatened to call
the county social services

and have me committed.

"That'll put an end to your
sick thoughts," she said.

Yeah. "Give you
a new beginning."

Oh, she never knew
how right she was.

I take it you didn't
listen to her.

I killed her.

Buried her in the backyard.

I waited all fall and winter,

worried that s-somebody
was gonna find her body.

And then, when
spring rolled around,

oh, the strangest
thing happened.

The most beautiful
morning glories

sprouted and bloomed
right over her body.

That's when I realized it wasn't
enough just to change things.

That was the first part.

What we needed was
a new beginning.

A world where people
like Mother could thrive,

free from the patterns
of our broken world.

How do you plan
to destroy it all?

Well

you certainly have
earned the truth today.

That key will launch a missile

from a beached submarine

washed ashore in Galveston.

That should do the
job, don't you think?

I think...

That Cole isn't the only
person we need to get rid of

to make things better.

You're gonna have to
get rid of me, too.

What happened to
making things right?

I've been waiting a long
time to get a fresh start.

Thought it was gonna
be with you and Morgan,but

looks like it's gonna have
to be with him,What a surprise.

I will shoot you!

No, no, it's okay, Sioux.

I mean, she's not gonna stop what
we're doing, and I want her alive.

Morgan, do you copy?

Is anyone there?

Does anyone hear me?

Hello?

Alicia?

Victor?

Yes, it's Victor. Are you okay?

Can I trust you?

Of course. What's wrong?

You need to get to Morgan,tell him I
know what the keys are, what they're for.

He needs to find a beached
submarine near Galveston.

Don't worry.
It's just Victor.

He'll be getting himself as
far away from here as possible.

No! She would've killed you.

I know.

That's what I was
hoping she would do

because it means you are the
right person for what's to come.

Back in the 1950s,
Uncle Sam built a bunker

beneath this resort for,
uh, government officials

to wait out the, uh,

inevitable destruction
that was coming.

It was long forgotten,

'til Riley found mention of it

in a newspaper article about
the hotel's bankruptcy.

I...

Uncle Sam was smart
about what was coming,

just not about when.

What's it like, Riley, hmm?

It's better than The
Holding ever was.

Oh, God. Well, I suppose
I should thank you

for burning our
other place down.

Do they know?

Your followers?

Oh, they just think
they're going to live

in a very well-stocked new home.

Everybody inside?

We're ready.

You... You wait here, Sioux.

I want... I want to show
this to Alicia myself, okay?

It's alright. There's
nothing to worry about.

Oh, I wanted to get
to know you today,

and I'm glad I did
because now I know

you're the one to
finish what I started.

I'm not finishing anything.

The beginning is the end.

I'm the ending, so I
can't be the beginning,

but you can.

What the hell makes
you think that?

Because you can do
what needs to be done

without losing sight
of the one thing

that's gonna be in short
supply once this is all over.

What's that?

Hope.

I told them what you're dong,
and they're gonna stop you!

I know this is hard
to accept, Alicia,

but this is what's happening.

You are going to rebuild
the world from in there.

You and I are very much alike.

I was way ahead of my time

living in a world I
was ill-suited for.

But while I was inside,
the world changed

into a world that was
perfectly suited for me.

That's exactly
what's gonna happen

with you inside.

Good luck, Alicia.

You lock me in here,

I'm not gonna make the world
the way you want it to be!

I know.
That's what I'm counting on.
