Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 7, Episode 4 - Episode #7.4 - full transcript
Against the advice of the group, Sarah searches for Wendell, and in the process encounters a dangerous survivor who forces her to take part in a search of his own.
This may be the end
for all of us.
We may not make
that bunker.
♪
I'm sorry, brother.
Mr. Jones may have got
the best of me today...
but there's always
tomorrow.
If I hear that you've hurt
anybody I care about,
I swear to God --
What Morgan?
What?
I will come for you,
Victor.
Shit in a sandbox.
Come on!
Who the hell are you?
Don't ask the pilot
any questions.
She's here to help.
The less you know, the better.
The hell is this place?
Hello?
Hello?
Aw, hell.
You're awake.
She's awake!
Sarah.
Did you just say
what I think you said?
♪
Welcome back.
♪
How long was I out?
Two days.
These readings
are off the charts.
What the hell
did this thing walk through?
You didn't get anything
on you, right?
Mm.
It shouldn't have
gotten past the gate.
Unless somebody
left it open.
I closed it.
Are -- Are you sure,
Daniel?
Yes.
No.
I don't think so.
Sorry, uh, where are we?
It's called
Fort San Vicente.
Least it used to be.
Decommissioned in
the '60s,
and then some rich guy
bought it,
turned it into
a B&B.
How'd I get here?
Last thing I remember,
the bombs went kablooey,
the chopper
was spinning, and --
The engine overheated.
The pilot had to set it down
a few miles short.
The pilot.
Yeah. Right.
Who the hell was that, Al?
It's better
if you don't know.
You're not the only one
she's not telling.
Mm.
It was
a pretty rough landing.
You hit your head
and got knocked unconscious.
Jacob and I --
we pulled you from the chopper,
then we
carried you here.Luciana:
Past the dead.
So many dead.
Luci and I
stabilized you
and patched you up
as best we could,
but Jacob's really been
keeping an eye on you.
Yeah.
He's out marking
the east boundary now,
but, well, he'll be happy
to see you back on your feet.
Where's Wendell?
He make it here?
He...
He what?
What?
We haven't heard from him
since he left the dam.
We've been
searching for him,
but the only thing
we've found so far is this.
♪
What are we
sitting here for?
Let's --
Let's go find him.
Hey, Sarah --
Hey, hey, hey.
You don't
want to do that.
He's right.
It's not safe.
I'd step aside,
if you want to keep your teeth.
We already searched
the safe zone.
If you go past it,
you will end up like
that Cesium-laced corpse.
Cesium?
It's more dangerous out there
than we imagined.
The pilot
already gave us
just enough courses
of Prussian Blue
for a few of us to have a shot
at getting out of here.
If you just
burn one up --Burn this.
Hey!
Sarah, you don't understand!
If you go out there,
you will die!
No,
you don't understand!
However hard
you think you looked,
I will look harder.

He's alive.
And I will find him.

Wen, can you hear me?

I've been trying every channel

Hey, Wen, it's me again.

Wen, if you can hear me,

If you're out there, Wendell,
I want you to know,
I'm still looking.

Alright, bro.
I'll be riding the airwaves
again tomorrow.
Over and out, buddy.
Somebody there?
Wendell?
Sarah?
Is that you?
Who is this?
Morgan.
Momo?
That's what we're calling
the baby.
Wh-- Whose baby?
Oh, um,
it's a long story.
Morgan,
I gotta tell you,
hearing your voice
is music to my ears.
Yeah, it's good
to hear yours, too.
I thought
you were dead.
No, I'm alright.
Grace, too.
But what happened
to Wendell?
I caught the end
of your broadcast.
Yeah, that's what
I'm trying to figure out.
Where are you?
You haven't heard from him,
have you?
No. We've been holed up
in The Pennsylvania.
Where are you?
With Daniel, Luci, Wes,
Charlie, Jacob, and Al.
Al?
Yeah,
she saved our keisters.
Tell me where you are.
I'll come to you.
I'm at
a lookout point.
Uh, a few miles from a spot
called Fort San Vicente.
I'd steer clear,
though, Morgan.
Uh, things look good
in our immediate vicinity,
but we think
one of the warheads was a dud.
It's leaking like a sieve
somewhere near here.
Morgan,
you there?
Morgan?

Yes. Alright.
Come on.
Come on, come on!

Shit in a sandbox.

And who might you be?

Someone here?
Rufus!
Hey, buddy.
Hey, how'd you get here, huh?
Where's Momo?
Here you go.
There you go.
♪
Step away
from my brother.
♪
Who the hell are you?
What's your brother's head
doing in a box
with my friend's name
on it?
Your friend's head
was meant to be in that box,
not my brother.
Your brother was the psycho
who tried to kill Morgan?
His name was Emile.
And Mr. Jones
killed him.
I'm sure
he deserved it.
What's your beef
got to do with me?
Been tracking you
for days.
You're the one who's gonna
help me find Mr. Jones.
Tough to do
when you don't know where he is.
I heard you
on the radio.
He's in
The Pennsylvania.
Is that a hotel?
Restaurant?
Whatever it is,
you're gonna take me there.
♪
♪
Shoot me if you want,
asshole.
I don't rat out my friends
to human guillotines.
I'd reconsider it
if I were you.
And why is that?
Because I'm the only hope
you got of finding your brother.
How do you know
about Wendell?
I told you.
I heard
what you said.
I suggest
you accept my offer,
unless you want your brother
to wind up like mine.
You can find him?
I found you,
didn't I?
It's more than just blood
I share with Emile.
When I need to find somebody,
I will stop at nothing,
and I do mean nothing,
until I find them.
Morgan Jones in exchange
for your brother.
Tell Mr. Jones to meet us
outside the rest stop...
...off Exit 74A
at dawn tomorrow.
We find Wendell first.
That's what I intend.
I work fast.
What happens
to Morgan?
You're asking
the wrong question.
You should be asking
what's gonna happen to Wendell
if you don't accept
my terms.
♪
♪
Morgan, you copy?
♪
What makes you so sure
he went this way?
Only place
I haven't checked.
If I get exposed,
you're giving me
some of those pills you got.
Same goes for Rufus.
Hell no.
I only swiped enough
for me and my bro.
I don't even know
your name, amigo.
I agreed to help you
find your brother.
I didn't agree
to die for him.
The name's Josiah.
Sarah Rabinowitz.
Well,
Sarah Rabinowitz...
...it's time for me
to get to work.
I don't think you're gonna
find him in there.
I will
if they ate him.
How long
has he been missing?
78 days.
And you still think
he's alive?
Wendell's a fighter.
I warn you,
if he's dead,
we might not
find him.
The dead can cover
a mile and half an hour,
up to 36 miles
in a day.
If your brother's
a dead man walking,
he could be
as far as Spokane.
"Dead man walking."
Wen will love that.
He hasn't taken a step
in almost 40 years.
Been in a wheelchair
since he was a kid.
Well, that there narrows
our search radius.
Do you have anything
that belongs to him?
Yeah.
Rufus is
a cadaver dog.
He can smell the living
and the dead.
Attaboy.
Here.
Go find.
Should we follow?
We'll give these two
their proper rest first.
♪
Things would go
a helluva lot quicker
if we
didn't have to bury
every skinbag we shunked
along the way.
Dead should be treated
with respect.
Besides,
the readings are still safe.
If you
respected the dead,
you wouldn't be toting around
your brother's head in a box
like a goddamn
pet rock.
Don't talk
about my brother.
Look, I get it.
Wendell and I --
we're twins, too,
but you got to think about
what he would want.
I made him
a promise.
He ain't gonna
hold you to it.
And I will not bury him
until it is kept.
You're so
full of shit.
Driving around
in a search and rescue SUV,
and all you're looking to do
is kill.
Using a dog
ain't even yours
to help you
do that killing.
You don't know
a damn thing about me.
Oh, I know a stone-cold psycho
when I see one,
and I see you,
asshole.
You so fear
the loss of your brother
that you offered me
Morgan Jones' life in exchange,
and you got the nerve to
stand there and call me crazy.
Not just crazy.
You're a dead man.
What makes you think
you're gonna be able to do
what your brother couldn't?
When you've endured
what I have,
it makes you capable of things
you never thought possible.
Come on, now!
Get out!
Get!
I said get!
Get out of here!
Don't move!
Hang on, now!
I didn't do nothing.
You put my dog
in danger.
For that alone,
I should kill you.
He came at me.
And I intend
to find out why.
Mask off.
No way.
Readings are clean.
And I'm not asking.
What have you got
in there?
More.
Like them.
Any of these Wendell?
Mnh-mnh.
What the hell
are you doing with 'em?
What happened
to their clothes?
I'm just supposed to
spread them around.
Why?
If Rufus wasn't interested
in them,
he must've been
interested in you.

too dangerous, too late.

in the smoke.

We didn't want people
to know where Sarah was
when we came into this episode.
The last time we saw her,
she was getting on
a CRM-branded helicopter
at the end of Season 6,
flying off to
we didn't know where.
So we wanted to preserve
the mystery
as long as we could of
where she wound up,
what she's been up to.
And there's a lot of fun
in that opening sequence,
seeing her walk around
this strange place,
which we pretty quickly realize
isn't the tower and figure out
just where she wound up
and who she wound up with.
Sarah learns a lot of things
when she starts to talk
to everyone else
in the group.
She learns that they're at
this kind of historic fort
that had been converted
into an Airbnb
shortly before the apocalypse.
It's in the safe zone,
so they are not as vulnerable
to the ravages
of the nuclear apocalypse
as some of the other characters
we've seen in previous episodes.
But the one thing that we do
know is that in their scouting,
they have learned about
an undetonated warhead,
a dud that's out there,
that is leaking radiation.
And really the most devastating
thing that she learns
is that Wendell never made it.
He's been missing
for a long time,
and that just sets Sarah
back on her heels
because Wendell is the person
who means more
to her than anything.
What are we sitting here for?
Let's -- Let's go find him.
Hey, Sarah.
Hey, hey, hey.
Okay.
You don't want to do that.
He's right. It's not safe.
Step aside
if you want to
keep your teeth.
When faced with
the loss of Wendell,
Sarah goes to some places that
we have never seen her
go before.
However hard you think
you looked,
I will look harder.
And I will find him.
Ultimately,
her encounter with Josiah
is going to really put that
into perspective for her,
because that is a story
about someone
who has drastically changed
because of the loss
of their twin brother.
Brother Psycho tried
to kill Morgan.
His name was Emile.
You're the one who's going to
help me find Mr. Jones
in exchange for
your brother.
I think there's part of Sarah
that
is trying to figure out Josiah.
She's trying to appeal
to his humanity
and also just trying to get
to the bottom
of who is this guy
that would be
carrying around his brother's
severed head in a box.
She's trying to figure out
how did he go from whatever
he was before to this killer
that he's become now.
And ultimately, for Sarah in
the episode, it's realizing that
while she sees him as crazy
and unhinged
at the beginning
of their relationship,
when faced with the loss
of Wendell herself,
she realizes she's not that far
off from what Josiah has become.
We wanted the moment when Sarah
saw Wendell's wheelchair
to really feel like
that was the end.
And we wanted to,
more importantly,
see what that would do
for Sarah,
how she would take action
as a result.
And I think what we see there is
that she ditches Josiah
and is going to leave him
there to die,
which is something that Sarah
would not have done before.
But she feels like
now that Wendell's not around,
what does it matter?
We're done!
♪
The moment when Josiah and Sarah
are stranded down
in that ravine together
after the car crashes is
a real moment of connection
for both of them
and their relationship
because from Josiah's
perspective,
seeing Sarah struggle
to breathe,
thinking that Wendell is dead,
it triggers
Josiah's own feelings
of his relationship
with his brother,
and it forces a connection
from him
saying that "If your brother
was dead,
you wouldn't be out here
looking for him. You'd know it."
And it doesn't mean
that Josiah is in a place
where he's ready to stand down
from his revenge for Morgan yet.
But you can see these characters
starting to form
a bond together
that's ultimately going to
help them both pull back
from the edge
of their own worst instincts.
You ready to honor
our deal?
We're going to keep looking
for Wendell,
but you ain't going to
kill Morgan.
And why is that?
Because you're not
a killer.
While Josiah lost his brother,
Emile,
there is someone
that's still around
that he has a real connection
to, and that's Rufus.
And it's the moment when Rufus
is bit by Emile's own head
that it sort of knocks Josiah
back and he realizes,
"My God, what have I done?
In my quest for revenge
and not being able to say
goodbye to my brother,
I've now cost myself
my dog that I love,"
and it sort of wakes
and shakes Josiah up out of this
just obsession
that he's been in about revenge
and he realizes the cost of it.
I'm sorry about my brother Emile
coming after you like that.
He wasn't always like that.
None of us were.
I think Morgan sees
a great change in Josiah there,
and Morgan also understands
from his own experiences
what grief can do to you.
Wendell doesn't
have his chair.
He would have needed help
from somebody.
You know who might have
helped Wendell?
Victor.
He's alive.
This is a very loaded moment
for Strand
when he sees
Morgan face to face.
What we're seeing
is just him doubling down
on what we saw him do in the
premiere episode this season,
which is he is not allowing
personal connections
to get
in the way of what he's built,
and he's remembering who stood
with him and who didn't.
And he doesn't see Sarah
as enough of a loyalist
to let her into the tower.
He's extremely pragmatic
and even a bit cruel.
But we also see
that he hasn't become a monster.
There is still part of him that,
while he's not going to let
Sarah into the tower,
he also does agree to not tell
Wendell that Sarah is out there
because it's the way
to sort of honor
Sarah's wish that her brother
stay safe.
We're gonna get
everybody back, Sarah.
And then we're going to
get ready
for whatever happens next,
right?

We didn't want people
to know where Sarah was
when we came into this episode.
The last time we saw her,
she was getting on
a CRM-branded helicopter
at the end of Season 6,
flying off to
we didn't know where.
So we wanted to preserve
the mystery
as long as we could of
where she wound up,
what she's been up to.
And there's a lot of fun
in that opening sequence,
seeing her walk around
this strange place,
which we pretty quickly realize
isn't the tower and figure out
just where she wound up
and who she wound up with.
Sarah learns a lot of things
when she starts to talk
to everyone else
in the group.
She learns that they're at
this kind of historic fort
that had been converted
into an Airbnb
shortly before the apocalypse.
It's in the safe zone,
so they are not as vulnerable
to the ravages
of the nuclear apocalypse
as some of the other characters
we've seen in previous episodes.
But the one thing that we do
know is that in their scouting,
they have learned about
an undetonated warhead,
a dud that's out there,
that is leaking radiation.
And really the most devastating
thing that she learns
is that Wendell never made it.
He's been missing
for a long time,
and that just sets Sarah
back on her heels
because Wendell is the person
who means more
to her than anything.
What are we sitting here for?
Let's -- Let's go find him.
Hey, Sarah.
Hey, hey, hey.
Okay.
You don't want to do that.

When faced with
the loss of Wendell,
Sarah goes to some places that
we have never seen her
go before.
However hard you think
you looked,
I will look harder.
And I will find him.
Ultimately,
her encounter with Josiah
is going to really put that
into perspective for her,
because that is a story
about someone
who has drastically changed
because of the loss
of their twin brother.
Brother Psycho tried
to kill Morgan.
His name was Emile.
You're the one who's going to
help me find Mr. Jones
in exchange for
your brother.

to his humanity
and also just trying to get
to the bottom
of who is this guy
that would be
carrying around his brother's
severed head in a box.
She's trying to figure out
how did he go from whatever
he was before to this killer
that he's become now.
And ultimately, for Sarah in
the episode, it's realizing that
while she sees him as crazy
and unhinged
at the beginning
of their relationship,
when faced with the loss
of Wendell herself,
she realizes she's not that far
off from what Josiah has become.
We wanted the moment when Sarah
saw Wendell's wheelchair
to really feel like
that was the end.
And we wanted to,
more importantly,
see what that would do
for Sarah,
how she would take action
as a result.
And I think what we see there is
that she ditches Josiah
and is going to leave him
there to die,
which is something that Sarah
would not have done before.
But she feels like
now that Wendell's not around,
what does it matter?
We're done!

The moment when Josiah and Sarah
are stranded down
in that ravine together
after the car crashes is
a real moment of connection
for both of them
and their relationship
because from Josiah's
perspective,
seeing Sarah struggle
to breathe,
thinking that Wendell is dead,
it triggers
Josiah's own feelings
of his relationship
with his brother,
and it forces a connection
from him
saying that "If your brother
was dead,
you wouldn't be out here
looking for him. You'd know it."
And it doesn't mean
that Josiah is in a place
where he's ready to stand down
from his revenge for Morgan yet.
But you can see these characters
starting to form
a bond together
that's ultimately going to
help them both pull back
from the edge
of their own worst instincts.
You ready to honor
our deal?
We're going to keep looking
for Wendell,
but you ain't going to
kill Morgan.
And why is that?
Because you're not
a killer.
While Josiah lost his brother,
Emile,
there is someone
that's still around
that he has a real connection
to, and that's Rufus.
And it's the moment when Rufus
is bit by Emile's own head
that it sort of knocks Josiah
back and he realizes,
"My God, what have I done?
In my quest for revenge
and not being able to say
goodbye to my brother,
I've now cost myself
my dog that I love,"
and it sort of wakes
and shakes Josiah up out of this
just obsession
that he's been in about revenge
and he realizes the cost of it.
I'm sorry about my brother Emile
coming after you like that.
He wasn't always like that.
None of us were.
I think Morgan sees
a great change in Josiah there,
and Morgan also understands
from his own experiences
what grief can do to you.
Wendell doesn't
have his chair.
He would have needed help
from somebody.
You know who might have
helped Wendell?
Victor.
He's alive.
This is a very loaded moment
for Strand
when he sees
Morgan face to face.
What we're seeing
is just him doubling down
on what we saw him do in the
premiere episode this season,
which is he is not allowing
personal connections
to get
in the way of what he's built,
and he's remembering who stood
with him and who didn't.
And he doesn't see Sarah
as enough of a loyalist
to let her into the tower.
He's extremely pragmatic
and even a bit cruel.
But we also see
that he hasn't become a monster.
There is still part of him that,
while he's not going to let
Sarah into the tower,
he also does agree to not tell
Wendell that Sarah is out there
because it's the way
to sort of honor
Sarah's wish that her brother
stay safe.
We're gonna get
everybody back, Sarah.
And then we're going to
get ready
for whatever happens next,
right?
