Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 8 - The Door - full transcript

I want every single person
we took from that damned gulch.

♪♪

I found this in Cameron's hand.

From the pattern, I think,
it's from the grip

on the knife handle.

Everything I've done,
I've done so that we could all

be back together, and it doesn't
work if it's not all of us.

Dakota is welcome.

I can't stay here. If I do,
I'm not gonna last long.

You can't just leave.

I don't wanna leave.
I don't wanna run anymore.



D.b.: I wouldn't do that
if I were you, John.

It'll do you no good.

The mayor
has policemen downstairs

with instructions to remove

all marks of identification
you may have on your person.

You'll be buried
in Potter's field,

and you will have
accomplished nothing.

[Clicking]

John: I've taken care of that.

I've already mailed
a copy of this letter

to Mr. Connell.

♪♪

John, why don't you forget
this foolishness?

Stop right where you are,
Mr. Norton,



if you don't want
to go overboard with me.

I'm glad you gentlemen are here.

You've killed
the John Doe movement, alright,

but you're going to see it born
all over again.

Ann: John! John!

[Walker growling]

[Gun cocks]

[Gunshot]

♪♪

We'll start all over again,
just you and I.

It isn't too late.

The John Doe movement
isn't dead yet.

See, John!

It isn't dead,
or they wouldn't be here!

It's alive in them.

They kept it alive
by being afraid of it.

That's why they came up here.

Oh, darling.

Sure, it should have been
killed before.

It was dishonest.

But we can start clean now.

Just you and I.
It'll grow again, John.

It'll grow big.

And it'll be strong
because it'll be honest.

Oh, darling,
if it's worth dying for,

it's worth living for.

Oh, please, John!

[Walker growling]

Oh, please, god, help me.

Dorie: Ohh!

John. Dakota?

[Gun un-cocks]

What... what in the hell
are you doing here?

Uh, i'm... I'm running
from my sister.

You?

Well, I guess you could say
the same thing.

You the one that corralled
those passed on the bridge?

No, uh...

He did.

[Door creaks]

Ah.

[Chuckles]

Hey, John.

Well, I'll be damned.

How'd you find us? I didn't.

The passed on the bridge,

they kept washing up
near my cabin,

and, well, this river has a way

of bringing people back to life.

But I gotta say, buddy,
you've looked better.

Mm-hmm.

Getting across the bridge,
putting the barricade up,

trapping the dead,
his wound had opened up.

But I patched it up
as best as I could.

Good job.

[Chuckles]

We heard the shot at the gulch
that night.

We didn't think
you made it, man.

Neither did I.

How'd you survive?

Had some help. Who from?

That night? I don't know.

I came to,
I was already patched up,

but they'd moved on.

Somebody else helped me out
a while later.

But now I'm gonna have to
add her to the list.

It wasn't hard.

Somebody stocked the shelves

with everything I needed, so...

Yeah.

It's good to see you, John.

I feel like
I'm looking at a ghost.

Oh, you are. [Chuckles]

How'd you wind up
with that big herd on your tail?

Virginia set her rangers on us.

We were trying to outrun them
with Alicia and Charlie,

but we hit the herd,
got separated.

We should
start looking for them.

She's right. We should get back
on the road and get ourselves there.

Just hang on, hang on.

You're not going anywhere,
at least not like that.

Where are you trying to go?

He's got a place
that he's building.

One that's safe. Shh.

[Horse neighs]

[Whispering] Hide that stuff.
Clean it up.

Come on, Morgan.

[Sighs]

You should have shot him.

I didn't need to.

These times, John.

♪♪

They make us men
we tried so hard not to be.

Let's get out of here.

We'll be safer at my cabin.

[Clears throat]

How'd you learn
to cook like this?

Well, I spent every summer
out here when I was a kid.

When in Rome.

Well, that's no good.

Place we're going
is built on a dry riverbed.

Water nearby, plenty of fish.

Be nice
to have somebody out there

who knows how to cook 'em.

Come on.

June can cook 'em
just as good as me.

Better, maybe.

[Chuckles]

How long you been out here?

Couple of weeks.

And where's June?

Why is she not with you?

It's not worth talking about.

Oh, it's not?

Where is this place
you're settling?

[Scoffs]

Alright.

40 miles north.

That's a ways to go on foot.

Probably got enough gas
in the truck to get you there.

I was hoping you would come.

What we're doing,

we could use somebody
with your skills.

My skills? What might those be?

Plan is shifting because
we can't make a clean trade,

but Virginia's still gonna want
her sister back.

What, so you...
You want to use me as bait?

Yeah. But you don't worry.

I'm not gonna let her
get to you.

Hey.

Do it like this,
it means a fight.

That's why you need me.

Well, things will be
different, though.

We're gonna be set up to win.

We'll be fighting
on our own turf

and on our own terms.

God, John, it's for our family.

Dakota: What's this?

Nothing.

Looks like blood.

It's off a knife handle.

What knife?

The one that killed Cameron.

The ranger?

The one that Janis was with?

I thought
if I could find the rest of it,

it would lead me
to whoever killed him.

I couldn't.

Why do you still have it, then?

You're doing it again.

What?

What you told me about before,
when you were a cop,

how you hid yourself away
from the world up here.

Well, it's different this time.

Why's that?

Virginia: Morgan? You there?

We got something
we need to discuss.

Don't. Don't.
Rangers are nearby.

They might figure out
where we are.

John's right. Don't.

She's just trying to scare you.

Grace: Morgan? It's me.

Aw, hell.

Sorry, I have to.

Dakota: Morgan!

♪♪

Yes, I'm here.

Virginia: I thought
that might do the trick.

Grace, are you okay?

Is the baby okay?

Grace: I'm okay, Morgan.

So is the baby.

I think this little one's
about seven months now.

I thought you were dead, Morgan.

We all did.

Hey.

You hear that, Morgan?

Grace is fine,
but that'll change real quick

if anything happens
to my sister.

Call the rangers off.

They're gonna get
everybody killed,

including your sister.

♪♪

Oh, my rangers will find you.

In the meantime, I know
you'll keep my sister safe

'cause if anything
happens to her,

it's not just grace and
her little chick who are dead.

It's the whole damn coop.

♪♪

We'll talk soon.

♪♪

We need to get out of here now.

We need to draw Virginia to us

before she does something
to them.

Last time you locked yourself
away up here,

June washed up.

Today, it was us.

If that's not the universe
telling you to come back,

I don't know what is.

Yeah.

I just...

I don't care to kill anyone.

Yeah, you called me a ghost,
and I am.

'Cause all I'm here for
is to free our people,

give that baby a chance
at a next world,

one where, I don't know,

all life might actually
be precious.

I think we can do it, John.

I think it's not gonna be
the way that we want it,

but we can end it.

Alright.

♪♪

I-I ain't right.

I just ain't.

I'm sorry.

I can't do it.

♪♪

But I will help you
cross that bridge.

It's the only way north.

We gotta pack up.

♪♪

This is all I got.

Is that gonna be enough
to kill all the chompers?

Your guess is as good as mine.

But there's only one way

Dorie: [Grunts] Sorry, John.

Sorry?

What do you got to be sorry for?

You're the one got dragged
through the woods by your neck.

Yeah, I've been racking up
a whole lot of miles lately.

You almost got killed.

I didn't, though,
'cause you stopped him.

Well, it shouldn't have
come to that.

I should have taken my shot
when I had it back at bill's.

You didn't take it
'cause you didn't have to.

You know
that's why I need you, right?

Help keep us
from becoming like Ginny.

You know that, right?

That's not the only reason.

Got all the gas out.

That's about
all it's good for now.

We're gonna need another car.

We could get back in a canoe,
head upstream,

find another vehicle
back by bill's.

I can't risk it,

not with all those rangers
out there looking for us.

And there might be more
once he doesn't check in.

Right.

What about that one?

That?

That's just been collecting rust
since I was a kid.

[Metal creaks]

[Grunts]

[Metal clanks]

Where'd this come from?

Well, it belonged to my dad.

We were gonna fix it up together
once upon a while.

Hmm.

You know, I've spent
more than my fair share of time

in one garage or another

making cars in much worse shape
than this run again.

We're gonna need a battery
and a distributor cap,

but I think
I can get this going.

[Chuckles]

It's not too late.

What's that?

Ah, just something
my daddy used to say.

It's not to late
to learn something,

to do the right thing,
fix a mistake,

and apparently, get an old
Chevy truck running again.

Well, there's some wrecked cars
one cabin over.

Lot less likely of running
into rangers over there.

You should go with John.

No, I can handle it.

Any other rangers show up,
I'm not sure that I can.

They get a hold of Dakota,

everybody else is gonna be
in real trouble.

Alright, well, let's go.

You get those guns
when you were a cop?

No, they belonged to my pop.

And he gave you the guns?

Well, he sent them to me
that same summer

we were supposed to
fix up the Chevy.

Why didn't he bring
them to you? [Chuckles]

Well, he never showed up.

Moved to a cabin on his own
up north,

away from everybody.

Me and my mama included.

I got the occasional
birthday or Christmas card.

A phone call
every once in a blue moon.

But I never saw him again.

Ah.

Here, hold that.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Why did he leave?

Did he kill someone,
just like you did?

No.

What was it, then?

Well, he did the wrong thing,

but for the right reasons.

If that makes sense. [Grunts]

[Tool clacks]

Kind of seems like
he was punishing himself.

Yeah, maybe. [Grunts]

Just like you.

Morgan was right, isn't he?

That's why you're here.

Come on.

There's one more thing
we got to get while we're here.

Know-it-all.

Hey, you know what happened
with Janis?

You don't have to feel bad
about that kind of thing.

It's... it's just
how life is now.

People... people kill,
people die.

It still should mean something.

Why?

Well, if it don't mean nothing
when you die,

then it must not have meant much
when you were alive, either.

So?

Boy, I'm glad
Morgan's taking you

to that place he's
building. Why's that?

'Cause you're starting to sound
an awful lot like your sister.

Now stand back.

Hey!

[Pounds on door]

Anybody home?

[Lock clatters, door creaks]

Alright.

There's nothing in there
that we need for the truck.

Who said we're here
for the truck?

[Chuckles]

What do you need a door for
if you're coming with us?

Morgan: 'Cause he's not
coming with us.

Are you, John?
What you doing here?

I found these.

There's only so many words
you can spell out with those.

These are not meant for you.
I know who they're meant for.

♪♪

Look, I was gonna tell you

after we cleared the bridge.

I'll keep my word.
I'll get you across.

But then
I'm coming back here after.

'Cause of what you had to do
to Marcus?

No, not 'cause
I had to kill him.

It's because
I didn't kill him before.

[Hammering] Damn it!

♪♪

I don't know why...

I'm not meant
to live in this world.

If I'd have just
kept my nose out of it

when Cameron was killed,

Janis would still be alive.

If I'd have shot Marcus
when I had the chance,

you wouldn't have nearly died.

Hiding away in that cabin
ain't the answer.

Best one I can think of.

[Scoffs]

You went looking for a door

to shut yourself away
from the world,

and you found us.

Does that not tell you anything?

You're like that guy

who walked
halfway across the country

to get away from
the people he cares about most

and found himself sitting across
from your campfire.

And because I found you,

I found everybody
I think of as family right now.

I found grace.

And that wouldn't have happened

if you hadn't insisted

that I sleep in the bed
of your truck that night.

You gave me that family, man.

You gotta help me get them back.

♪♪

The best way I can think of
to do that

is get you across that bridge

and then stay out your way.

That door
is not gonna keep us away.

Not me, not June.

This door
ain't for keeping people out.

What the hell's it for, then?

It's to keep the passed
from getting at me

after I do what I need to do.

I just want it to be over,
Morgan.

[Gun cocking, un-cocking]

Got the truck running.

That's good.

Wasn't that long ago
I was in something like

the place
that you are now, John.

Uh, every time
I work myself up to it,

one of the passed washes up,

steals my nerve.

That's 'cause
it's not your time.

This is not
how you should go out.

Here.

Night at the gulch...

...whoever saved me,
they left me that.

Made me realize
what I had to fight for.

That place you're building?

Yeah, and that
it wouldn't mean anything

if it wasn't all of us.

But if I was gonna
get everybody there,

I had to...

I had to make a change.

Or I would lose,
well, all of you.

You know
you're not your dad, right?

I know that. And
that you don't have to

make the same mistakes
that he made,

that you can come with us.

I found my way to keep going.

I think
maybe you could find yours.

Well...

[Walker growling]

Wouldn't count on it.

[Gunshot]

We better get up there.

The passed must be building up
on the bridge.

You know, we might need
these doors after all.

[Walkers growling]

Alright.

We'll clear the passed
from up there.

Keep them from getting tangled
in the wheels.

Provided you can get us across.

[Sighs]

Uh, my daddy used to let me
drive his six speed

in the church parking lot
on Sunday afternoons, so I...

It didn't usually get
this crowded.

Okay.
Well, I'll talk you through it.

John. Where is he?

[Crying]

Where is he?

Floating down river,

with a bullet in his chest.

♪♪

It was your knife.

You killed that ranger.

[Sniffles]

♪♪

You're gonna take me
to the place you're building.

You're gonna let me be a part of
it like you were before.

♪♪

[Gasps, sniffles]

You're not gonna hurt me.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I am the reason you are alive!

I saved you at the gulch.

That is not what
happened. It is.

Ginny... she left you to die.

Dragged yourself
up to the church.

The dead followed you.

They were on top of you,
about to eat you.

But I was there.

I killed them.

That's not possible.

It is.

I followed Ginny
and the rangers to the gulch

'cause I wanted to see her
go down.

And, I mean, even though
that didn't happen,

I mean,
it's a good thing, right?

'Cause I stitched you up,
stopped you from bleeding.

I gave you antibiotics.

I gave you painkillers.

I-I left you food and supplies.

Okay, stop. No more lies.

No, you don't know me!

But I've heard your message.

You need to do the same.

"You still have things
left to do."

♪♪

I wrote it.

I wrote that note.

I left it for you.

And I was right to

because that thing
that you have to do,

you're gonna have to do it now.

And what is that?

♪♪

Kill my sister.

♪♪

You're not breathing
because you have

some silly, little paradise
that you have to build.

You are breathing

because you are the only
person left that can end her!

Hey.

That's not what
this is about. It is.

It is.

And it is the only reason
that you are still here!

[Knife clatters on pavement]

Someone cleaned the place out.

Where the hell are they?

June, where are they?

I don't know. I don't know!

You sure about that?

I am sick of your
sh... Morgan: Virginia?

Morgan, you're late.

It's John.

He's been hurt.
You need to help him.

It was your sister.
She did it to him.

Morgan, where is he?

Where's my sister?

He's heading your way.

He's coming down river.

I'm trying to get to him,

but if I can't find him first,
please help him.

Then we talk.

You heard Morgan.
Go find ranger dorie.

[Dog whines, barks]

Well...

This is it.

Yeah, it's what we rebuilt
so far,

but it's a start.

Where's Morgan?

We got separated.

Morgan: Al? Dwight? Do you copy?

Go for Dwight.

Start getting
the dam wall ready.

We may end up bringing
this fight with Virginia

to our own doorstep.

Copy, Morgan.

And, Dwight,
maybe reach out to Sherry.

'Cause we're gonna need
all the firepower we can get.

You need to send more rangers
to look for him.

I already have.

Radio Morgan.

I need to know what happened
if I'm going to help.

Damn it!

Hill, what's going on
down there?

What do you have? [Scoffs]

[Gasps]

John!

John!
