Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 3 - Alaska - full transcript

Al and Dwight go rogue on a recon mission for Ginny to follow a lead thought lost, but Al must choose between what she has now and what she's chasing.

Previously...

I want your word that you're gonna

keep us all together.

No can do. You're each gonna go

where I think is best.

We're just gonna turn ourselves in?

Is that what's happening?

She can take us wherever she wants.

I'm gonna need you to
tell me everything you know

about that helicopter you mentioned.

Boy or a girl?



We have a daughter.

We named her Morgan.

Hey.

How's that?

She likes it.

Yeah.

You brought back a lot.

Thank you, Morgan.

I-I brought you some... things, too.

There's, uh, clothes, food, books.

You know, 'cause you got to keep eating.

When Jenny was, uh, nursing Duane,

she couldn't keep the weight on,

so it didn't even matter



how much Chinese
take-out I bring home, but...

Where did you get this?

I got somebody on the inside.

- Can you trust them?
- Yes, I can.

And he don't know where we are.

And he won't. Not until we're
ready to get everybody else out.

I will leave you to it.

D-Do you want to hold her?

No, I don't think my
arm's quite up to it yet.

It'll be nice when Morgan
has a playmate around here.

Yeah.

Yeah, it will be.

Morgan, where are you going?

People didn't used to
change much before.

I mean, that was the
dream, though, right?

That's why diets and
the lottery and self-help...

And it happened.

Sometimes, but not much.

- Right?
- No.

'Cause I feel like I've been
16 different somebodies

since it all ended.

I'm gonna find Grace.

I'm gonna find the rest of them,

and I'm gonna bring them here.

Just by that time

when what I'm probably gonna have to do,

hell, what I've already done...

I'm scared, Rachel.

Scared I'm not gonna be
the man that they knew.

Maybe you've changed.

But you'll still be the man they knew.

Ready?

Yeah, let's roll.

Yours. And mine.

Camera "A."

Location 731.

Day 4.

1600 hours.

Initial breach. No live ones.

What do you think? Two, three months?

Let her figure it out.

Come on, Al.

Well, if she wanted our opinion,

she wouldn't make us tape it.

Your kill. Your state.

Arizona.

You got something
against the Copper State?

Got like 20 of them.

Well, Hawaii and Alaska
don't just fall into your lap, Al.

You gotta work for it.

Now, him, he... he could be an Alaska.

Yours.

Damn.

Montana.

Hey, I count at least 15 sleeping bags.

- How many did we drop?
- Not enough.

I'll go check upstairs.

Basement.

What's your current location?

Repeat, what is your current location?

Go again, Ground Command.

You're breaking up.

Repeat. What's your
current location, Ground 17?

We're waiting out some weather.

Then we'll make the hop to
drop site Baker for a refuel.

Will you arrive by 0400?

Affirmative.

Do you copy?

Do you copy?

I copy, Isabelle.

Roger that, Ground 17.

You okay?

No.

Did she just turn?

Smells like formaldehyde. I
think someone embalmed her.

What kind of psycho would do that?

- Location 731.
- Christ.

15 dead. No living.

Copy that.

We'll head to the rally point.

Not until you're done there.

It's a funeral home.

There's nothing worth scavenging here.

There are dead.

You know the drill.

Find out why.

So we make sure what happened to them

doesn't happen to us.

Copy.

I'm not staying here.

Well, w-we don't really have a choice.

This is bullshit.

I used to interview
people who were alive,

not figure out why they're all dead.

How many of these

do you think we've checked out for her?

I don't know. A couple hundred.

It's always the same.

People die because shit went wrong,

and if Virginia actually gave a shit,

she would have gotten to
them before it happened.

At least we're not inside
one of the settlements.

When I said there wasn't
anything worth scavenging,

I lied.

That good, huh?

Oh, it's skunked.

Thinking about beer lady?

Sorry?

What?

What am I supposed to call her?

Anything. Anything but that.

Okay, well, then tell me her name.

You know, this would
go down a lot better

with a bag of pretzels.

That's what Sherry used
to say about bad beer.

To your wife.

To beer lady.

Weather's clear. We're en route
to drop site Baker for a refuel.

- No.
- Dwight.

- T-minus 10 hours.
- Hey. Dwight. Dwight.

No, who the... No, no,
who the hell is that?

Copy that, Ground 17.

- Who's Ground sev... What's drop
site Baker? - Just give it to me.

Do you know? Who is it?

- I can't tell you.
- Why not?

Trust me.

The less you know about this the better.

You say that every time
I ask about beer lady.

Oh, my God.

Ground 17... that's her, isn't it?

Is your camera on?

Is it on?

No. It's off.

Give it.

Yeah. Yeah, it's her.

Holy shit!

And what... and... and drop site Baker?

It's in the city, I think.

Wow.

They switch channels a lot,

but I've caught their
chatter a few times.

And been trying to
track their movements,

figure out what stuff means.

Do you... you really know,
like, where she might be?

Where she might be.

Okay, why aren't we
heading there right now?

She has protocols. I'm not even
supposed to know she exists.

Screw protocol.

We have them, too.

Yeah, and here we are
talking about breaking them.

Maybe she's having the
exact same conversation

with someone right now.

I mean, you could be there
when that helicopter lands.

And do what?

I don't know, uh, r-run off with her,

go back to where she's from?

I go AWOL, Ginny will kill us,

or she'll kill our friends.

Not if she thinks you're dead.

No, I've... No...

- Alright... - I've thought
about it a lot, Al, seriously.

Find a walker your size, recent turn,

mess up its face, toss the camera on it,

I tell her you bought it.

It's my escape hatch if I
ever found Sherry out here.

That's crazy.

- Yeah, well...
- I can't put that on you.

Yeah.

I mean, you're talking to a guy

who walked halfway across the country

'cause his wife left him a note.

And you haven't found her yet.

No, but if, you know, if I...
if I knew she was out there

and you didn't push me
to go, I'd kick your ass.

I'd like to see you try.

Get in the truck, bitch.

Burning daylight.

Let's go find beer lady.

That's drop site Baker?

Yep.

Must be a helipad on the roof.

You think that elevator's working?

Better start climbing now.

Look at that.

Alaska.

No!

Get the...

Yeah, tell me that's not a good omen.

I mean, I guess it
wasn't for him, but...

Yeah.

Hey, Al.

The world goes to shit.

Everybody's a philosopher.

Let's hit the stairs.

One...

two... three.

What the hell?

Hey, don't touch that thing.

What's the matter? You've
never seen a rat before?

I had one in my sleeping
bag the other night,

- but that doesn't mean I like 'em.
- Okay.

Alright, we better get moving.

That furniture is not gonna hold.

No.

We can't go up.

Whoa!

Okay, easy there.

- Don't move.
- How'd you get up here?

- We don't want any trouble. - We were
just trying to get away from those walkers.

No, I'll rephrase. What are
you doing in the building?

I said what are you
doing in the building?

We're just trying to get to the roof.

- You're with them?
- We're not with anybody.

If you think whoever's
been landing on that roof

is here to save you, think again.

Why's that?

'Cause the last guy who went up
there to find out got a bullet instead.

- They shot him?
- I heard it.

Right before I saw him go over the side,

and he was a friend of mine.

Okay.

Now, you want to tell me
why you're recording us?

Lee, put them in the
office, lock the door.

What the hell, Al?!

How was I supposed to know?

I'm not talking about them.

Do you think it was her?

Beer lady?

Do you think she shot our
friend Alaska down there?

Shit. We're...

Look, I-I told you
she has her protocols,

but we have no way of knowing...

So you were just gonna
let me walk you up there?

No, of course not. I would
never let her see you.

Well, how do you know
you weren't gonna get shot?!

I don't.

So, this is what you do?

You go around recording
places that have gone south?

- No, not exactly. - I watched
everything that's on here,

- and it's just a whole...
- It's so we can stop it

from happening to
people that are still here.

- Is that the truth?
- Yes.

You better turn 'em on.

Why?

'Cause we need your help.

How long have they been sick?

A few days.

Is this everyone?

Everyone who's left.

Lee, we need more water.

We have to go.

- Leave him.
- Huh?

Al, hey... Al, hey, hey, hey.

We can do right by these people.

- We can radio in to Ginny.
- Listen to me.

No, Ginny will kill
us for going off map.

We can't stay here.

Well, she doesn't have to
know how we ended up here.

The... The rats, the
bumps on their neck.

It's bubonic plague.

You've seen it before?

In the field in Algeria.

What happened?

We couldn't get antibiotics in
time. Everyone in the village died.

- Well, then we'll get them
antibiotics in time. - It's too late.

Ginny is not gonna take that risk.

Listen to me.

We'll be lucky if she takes us back.

Come on. We can't do it for them.

It's too late.

Hey.

Hey! Where are you going?

Where are you going?

We're just gonna let them die?!

Back up.

They are days away from turning
out like every place we've seen.

You can't do this.

- Ginny is not gonna help them.
- Your people... You have to call them.

What are we gonna do?

- Are you still going up there?
- Hey!

You're the one who
convinced me to come out here.

Yeah, before I knew

- she was maybe gonna shoot you
on site. - You can't leave us like this.

Hey, if she does, she does.

Al, this is crazy!

What's crazy is doing
what we've been doing

- and calling it living.
- Hello? Hello?

Come on, Al! Think... Just
think about it for a second, Al!

We made a game out of seeing
where dead people came from.

Dwight...

The last time I felt

just alive was with her.

And I want to feel it again.

And even if that means
just taking the risk

that it's just for a moment,

then I would still
choose that over this.

Uh, how much time do we have left?

3 hours, 12 minutes.

Well, we better get going.

Mine!

We're gonna have to find another way up.

Come on.

Tennessee.

Keep it.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe we shouldn't be doing this.

I didn't mean it.

Where'd that come from,
anyways? The license thing?

Uh, a game I used to play
with my brother on road trips.

Only back then,

it was with license plates
and no dead people.

What are you gonna say to her?

The beer lady.

You mean when she's
pointing a gun at me?

No, when she puts the gun down,

if she puts the gun down.

What are you gonna say?

I don't know. I only
knew her for two days.

So?

Me and Sherry met pretty quick.

It's different.

What are you gonna say to Sherry

when you finally see her?

I had... I came to peace with the fact

that's not gonna happen, so...

What are you talking about?

What about all the
things Ginny was saying

about she knew somebody
who "broke bread" with her?

It's bullshit.

We know that.

You heard her voice on the walkie, so...

Well, I-I was dehydrated
and I hadn't slept for days

and I thought I was gonna die.

I think I heard it

'cause I needed
something to keep me going.

Let's see if it's clear.

Shit.

Maybe beer lady's gonna be late.

Shit!

Maybe they know another way up.

What the hell?

I thought those things
were carrying the plague.

They are.

And you still want to go up?

You hear that?

I think there's more up there.

Let's just keep moving.

Go. You got it.

Ground 17 to Ground Command.

We're T-minus 30 to set down at Baker.

Roger that, 17.

Keep us apprised. Over.

We gotta haul ass.

Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with that.

Dwight?

- Yeah?
- You're not gonna like this.

Shit. They could be infected.

Yeah, but we have to keep moving.

Let's go.

Come on.

- You okay?
- Yeah. Nothing's broke.

- There's more of them with the plague?
- Yeah.

They died of it. Let's go.

In here.

Alright. Uh...

Dwight, what is that?

What?

On your neck. What is it?

You're infected.

I told you not to come.

- It's not your fault, Al.
- No, I...

You were trying to help me.

You got sick. I'm gonna make this right.

Right, just stay away from me

'cause I don't want to pass it to you.

No, it doesn't work like that.

It doesn't spread person to person.

Well, how long before
the symptoms show up?

A day, t-two days, usually.

I couldn't have got it here.

Oh, there was the rat in my sleeping...

in my... in my sleeping bag.

Could've picked it up days ago.

Maybe.

You were trying to
do a good thing for me.

- Hey, Al.
- We'll figure this out.

It's not over, Al.

I'm gonna get you up to the roof.

Are you kidding? No.

- No, we need to get help. - No, do you
know how much crazy shit I went through

to try to find Sherry?

This is the least I can do for you.

Dwight, listen to me.

We need to get you Cipro fast.

Maybe we can get
to the rally point early.

- Thank you.
- You're lucky I don't shoot you.

Your boss. Call her now.

Trust me, she will not help you.

She will. She'll find antibiotics,

and it looks like your
friend could use some, too.

That blockade's not
gonna hold much longer.

Look, Al's right. We can't make the call

'cause it's not gonna
do anything for you.

But I got enough gas in my truck.

We can go find a pharmacy.

You've been around those rats.

You're exposed, too, you know.

I can take care of myself.

Fine. Let's go.

Roof access is on the
other side of this floor.

How do you know that?

Holiday party, 2008.

Too much tequila.

You worked here. So,
you knew these people?

We lived on this floor all this time,

and the rest of us left last
week when people started dying.

We only made it down to the fifth floor

before more of us got sick.
We couldn't go any further.

Alright, you let them out.

I'll kill them.

We'll take it nice and slow.

How many bullets do you have?

Three.

Move!

Let's go.

Al.

Nora.

Nora, we need to go.

Don't record them like this.

No one should remember them like this.

It's hard to even remember
what they looked like before.

Your friend,

the one who went up to the roof?

What was his name?

Mark.

Why?

Thank you.

Let's go.

Roof access is two flights up.

Five minutes ahead of schedule.

You better get going.

You'll hit every pharmacy you can find?

I will.

You'll make sure he's okay.

Of course.

You probably still think I'm an asshole.

No.

I-I worked down on the fifth floor

selling timeshares to desperate people

who were trying to
escape their boring lives

in places like Peoria and Wichita,

which is funny 'cause I was
too much of a chicken shit

to go to any of the
exotic locales myself.

So, you're a lot braver than I am.

Or maybe just stupid.

I don't think I'd say anything.

Uh, to Sherry.

You know, if I saw her,

I think I'd just hold
her as tight as I can.

I hope you get to do
that with beer lady.

I don't think she's gonna shoot you.

Here.

Oh, no, no.

L-L...

I left something on there.

For you. For the chopper ride.

- It's...
- Alright.

Hold on to it.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey, bud.

Uh, I think you're taking
a leak or something,

so I only have a
minute till you get back.

But, uh, do me a favor.

When you end up wherever it
is you two are going to end up,

crack one open for me, please.

Oh, and, uh, don't forget the pretzels.

That way you can get 'em down.

Alright.

Love ya.

Ground 17, reverse course.

I repeat, Ground 17, reverse course.

Who is on this channel?

Just someone who wants to help you out.

With what?

This place is filled with the dead.

They're infected with the plague.

It's not safe to land.

And you?

Are you infected?

I don't know. Maybe.

Thank you for the warning.

You should stay off this channel.

Copy that.

There's some beer in the supply crates.

Hope it's not your last.

Thank you.

Wait.

I told you to stay off this channel.

I just want to say...

it is good to hear your voice.

Because there aren't many people left.

Copy that.

Ground Command, do you copy?

We copy.

Drop site Baker has been burned.

Proceeding to drop site Delta.

I repeat, proceeding to drop site Delta.

Dwight?

What's going on? Why
is the chopper leaving?

Stay where you are.

I'm coming down to you.

What happened up there?

I lost a brother once.

Tapes are all I have left of him.

Guess I didn't want
that to happen again.

Come here.

Get yourself some Cipro.

I will.

Have you really been
here since the beginning?

Yep.

It's not like that out there anymore.

Not that it ever really was.

This place you're from.

What's it like?

You don't want to go there.

But we will find you someplace better.

Al.

The plague, the rats...

I don't think it's an accident.

What, do you think someone
made these people sick?

Like Ginny?

We're outside of her territory.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was

whoever spray-painted
that message in the lobby.

Look, maybe we should
just check in, you know,

- so the rangers don't start
asking questions. - Yeah.

Yeah. Of course.

I repeat, I saw your signal flare.

Is someone in trouble on the roof?

- Is someone in trouble on the roof?
- I'm sorry.

- What?
- Give me that.

Wh...

Honey, is that you?

Dwight?
