Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 7, Episode 6 - Episode #7.6 - full transcript
Morgan searches for Al, only to discover that he's not the only one looking for her, and that his search may have put a target on his own back.
Listen, don't ask the pilot
any questions.
She's here to help.
The less you know, the better.
[Walker growling]
Sarah: Last thing I remember,
the bombs went kablooey,
the chopper
was spinning, and --
Al: The engine overheated.
The pilot had to set it down
a few miles short.
Who the hell was that, Al?
It's better
if you don't know.
We get everybody back,
Sarah.
And then
we're gonna get ready
for whatever happens next.
I don't know.
I never let anyone
ask me questions like this.
Since when were you okay
with cameras?
What do you want me to say?
You know why I found you.
Same as last time.

[Geiger counter clicking]
I know you're gonna watch
whatever I put on this.
So I am just gonna
say this now, and you can --
you can take it or leave it.
The others, they said
you mighta gotten separated,
but I'm starting to think
you didn't come back with them
for a reason.
I'm starting to think
that you believe
that the stories left out there
are too hard to pass up.
But I'm gonna remind you of a
story you recorded a while ago.
Remember when you
interviewed me?
Asking me questions I didn't
want to answer, but I did?
Mostly because you --
you wouldn't let me
not answer 'em.
And then, somehow,
you and John,
you convinced me
to stop running.
If only for a little while.
But I'm asking you
the same thing now.
Stop running, Al.
You know,
just for a little while.
Man: Copy,
Ground Control.
We're setting down
in two minutes, over.

Morgan: Al, if that's you,
you need to tell me now.
Al: Morgan...
Oh, God, it's your mask.
I had to be sure.
What are you
doing here?
I'm looking for you.
You didn't show up with
everybody else at the sub.
Did they see you?
They would've
if the gun ports weren't open.
We can't stay here.
They'll be back.
I'm fresh outta bullets.
We can't leave.
We gotta find Grace.
Where is she?
Looking for you, Al.
What the hell?
[Sighs]
I can explain,
just not now.
They'll be back.
Who?
Who are "they"?
I don't know.
You know.
Last time
I saw a helicopter like that
was back
when you disappeared.
And the others said
you sent somebody
in a helicopter like that to
lift them outta the blast zone.
Well, they weren't supposed
to tell you that.
I'm serious --
if we stay here, we die.
♪
Well,
then we move.
You tell me
what this is, Al.
♪
♪
♪
Al: One of their weapons
did this.
They're close.
We should be careful.
Morgan: Gonna raise Grace.
At least
try and warn her.
That would put a target
on her back.
Ours, too.
Where was
your rendezvous point?
Couple of miles
east of here.
Right before
where the radiation spikes.
Let's wait till dark
and then head there.
You can wait.
I won't.
Morgan,
they will kill you.
You know --
You know I can handle myself.
You don't know
these people.
You cannot cross them.
If you take them on,
even if you somehow win,
you still lose.
It's Grace, Al.
You know, it's --
Those soldiers
have something to do
with why
you didn't show up
with everybody else
at the sub?
It's complicated.
Less you know,
the better.
No, you don't
get to do that.
You don't get
to drag me and Grace
into shit like this
and not tell us what's going on.
I am trying
to protect you.
Are you sure
about that?
Yes.
You don't know what these people
are capable of.
Maybe.
But I think you're trying
to protect yourself, too.
From what?
I don't know.
That's why I'm asking.
Why didn't you come
with the rest of the group?
We found enough Prussian Blue
for everybody
to make the journey.
I belong
on the road.
Doing what I was doing
when we met.
There are stories
out here
that need to be recorded,
now more than ever.
So you're
doing that again.
Doing what?
You're putting the camera
between you and everybody else.
That is not
what this is.
I didn't even have
my camera.
Those assholes took it
back at the van.
Well, good.
Maybe that'll help you see
what's right in front
of your face.

What is it?
What did you find out here?
♪
What is that exactly,
Morgan?
♪
You think
they're still here?
We'd be dead
if they were.
We'll be dead
if we stop moving.
[Walkers growling]
Only way to the rendezvous
is through there.
I don't understand.
If they're looking
to kill us,
how'd you get them
to rescue everybody?
It's complicated.
We're just out here
looking for Grace, right?
What else
would we be doing?I don't know.
Looking for your camera,
maybe.
Looking for
whatever story
you think those soldiers
might have for you.

I'll be there.
Why are
you doing this?

They'll see it otherwise.
Get the tracks, too.
The irradiated area's about
a hundred yards straight ahead.
We could just
walk into it.
I mean, we'll have to take
a course of Prussian Blue,
but maybe
that'll keep them away.
If you got something to combat
radiation exposure,
they've got
something better.
Who are they exactly?
Oh, don't expect too much of
an answer from her about that.
Sarah told me
about the baby.
So sorry.
Thank you.
It's, um --
It's hard.
Some days, it's...
still hard.
Just different.
Mo's helped.
Rachel's daughter?
Rachel didn't make it.
So we've become
the closest thing
that little girl has
to parents.
[Birds chirping]
All the more reason
to get you home to her.
Say the same for you,
Al.
Those soldiers
stay on mission,
they're gonna keep
coming after us,
keep coming after
your friend.
We gotta stop them.
Only way to do that
is to kill them.
Then that's what we do.
Morgan...
Somebody that Al cares about
is in danger.
Gotta help.
If we kill them,
they may just send more.

Chambliss: This episode
is called "Reclamation."
That is a word that has
particularly loaded meaning.
Man: We're sending
a reclamation team.
We first heard it back in
Season 5, when Isabelle
talked about the fear that
a reclamation team would come.
It was something that
Isabelle spoke of
as being dangerous, relentless,
something to be feared.
This is the episode when
we see a reclamation team
for the first time.
Man: 3, 0-3, 40...
This episode marks Al's
last appearance this season.
I don't know.
I never let anyone ask me
questions like this.
In Al's history on the show,
we have seen her
filming other people,
asking other people questions.
In this episode,
we actually see her
on the side of the camera.
We see her in these
stolen moments
that she had with Isabelle
just before the bombs went off.
What did you find
out here?
It speaks to the way that
Isabelle is able
to get at who Al really is.
♪
Morgan and Al's reunion
was a lot of fun to shoot,
because it's
a very charged moment.
If we stay here,
we die.
Well then, we move.
You tell me
what this is, Al.
Al has heard on the radio that
a reclamation team is coming,
that they're aware of the fact
that Isabelle helped some people
escape the nuclear blast,
and that they're coming
to figure out
exactly what went down.
It's kind of this quick reunion
before they realize
they have to keep moving
because the reclamation team
is nearby.
[Gunfire]
Get down!
♪
Who are they after?
The pilot who lifted
everyone to safety.
Why'd she help us?
Because
I asked her to.
What are you,
together?
When Morgan learns
that there is, in fact,
a person who Al
has feelings with
and a person who helped Al
save everyone,
his desire to risk his own life
to help Al is all about
wanting Al to be able to
experience something like that.
You can still
find her.
I've made my peace
with it.
Morgan kind of invoking
his biggest fear,
the thing that we heard him say
when he first joined
"Fear the Walking Dead" --
I lose people
and then I lose myself.
Chambliss: And that really
spoke to his fear
of opening himself up
to human connection,
because there are many
great things
that come along with that --
friendship, companionship,
love,
but at the same time,
it carries a great risk
in this zombie apocalypse.
It's not uncommon to
lose the people around you
just like that.
Man: We have the two parties
you escaped with.
She shared Ground 17's
whereabouts.
We will
eliminate them.
We heard from Isabelle
just how capable
a reclamation team could be,
so we knew that it was really
gonna have to come down to
our characters outsmarting them
so that we wouldn't have to
be having Morgan and Grace and
Al looking over their shoulders
for the rest of their time
in "The Walking Dead" universe.
It kind of had to be
a clean defeat
where no one knew what happened.
[Gunshot]
[Grunts]
[Scuffling]
You're not killing
anybody.
One of the other things that
we were kind of interested in
is giving the MRAP kind of
its last, heroic moment.
This is a vehicle that made
its entrance
back in the first episode
of Season 4
and it was always meant to
be a part of Al's character.
[Door clanging]
We saw it used to great effect.
We saw the guns on the roof
used.
♪
[Guns click]
We, of course, know those guns
are out of bullets
in this episode,
so we got the idea that we would
use these old,
Civil War-era cannons.
♪
CRM soldiers think the guns
are going to be used,
but ultimately, they're not.
It's really just
to distract them
so the MRAP can
pull out of the way
and Morgan can pull the fuse
on the cannon
and use the cannon to
essentially obliterate
the soldiers in a very,
very messy way.
There's always something about
seeing a Walker in pieces
and of course,
Al is a bit sarcastic
to a CRM soldier.
Where the hell
are your legs?
One of the last scenes
between Al and Morgan
is an interview where Morgan
says he saved Al's life,
so she owes him an interview,
and that is a direct callback
to the fact that
that Al saved Morgan's life
way back in 401
and said that meant
he owed her an interview.
You really know
where she is?
Yeah.
I do.
Why are you not
going after her?
He's asking her these questions
because he wants her
to have to confront the fact
that she's the obstacle
standing in the way right now
between her reunion with
Isabelle, the woman she loves.
♪
This episode was very much
a callback
to Al and Morgan's first episode
on "Fear the Walking Dead,"
and that episode, of course,
had one more person in it,
and that was John Dorie.
Even though he's not with
these characters,
we can feel him there,
because Morgan is moving forward
with the lessons he learned
and Al is hearing kind of
the echoes of everything
that John Dorie would have said
if he were standing there
in this episode,
telling Al that she's got to
get on that helicopter
and try to find Isabelle.
Truth is something
you can't get around.
Nope, you can't.
♪
While we're giving them
the "Fear the Walking Dead"
version of a happy ending,
we wanted to be clear
that it wasn't going to be easy.
We kind of landed on this idea
of having Al's interview
that she had done with Isabelle
to be playing in the background.
It spoke to Isabelle's love
for Al,
that she's in this cabin
watching this tape
and she's obviously still
thinking about her.
You know,
if I come with you...
it won't go well.
But at the same time,
it allowed someone to voice
all the practical concerns
that they would have to face.
[Gun cocks]
Isabelle: Al.
We've got to stop
meeting like this.
Al.
Just can't live my life
looking over my shoulder.
We'll always be
looking over our shoulders.
That's okay.
What that did was
it essentially allowed Al
to speak to the fact that
their love for each other,
the fact that they
can be together,
can outweigh all of
those negatives.
This is about the best
happy ending you can get
in "The Walking Dead" universe.

Chambliss: This episode
is called "Reclamation."
That is a word that has
particularly loaded meaning.
Man: We're sending
a reclamation team.
We first heard it back in
Season 5, when Isabelle
talked about the fear that
a reclamation team would come.
It was something that
Isabelle spoke of
as being dangerous, relentless,
something to be feared.
This is the episode when
we see a reclamation team
for the first time.
Man: 3, 0-3, 40...
This episode marks Al's
last appearance this season.
I don't know.
I never let anyone ask me
questions like this.
In Al's history on the show,
we have seen her
filming other people,
asking other people questions.
In this episode,
we actually see her
on the side of the camera.
We see her in these
stolen moments
that she had with Isabelle
just before the bombs went off.
What did you find
out here?
It speaks to the way that
Isabelle is able
to get at who Al really is.
♪
Morgan and Al's reunion
was a lot of fun to shoot,
because it's
a very charged moment.
If we stay here,
we die.
Well then, we move.
You tell me
what this is, Al.
Al has heard on the radio that
a reclamation team is coming,
that they're aware of the fact
that Isabelle helped some people
escape the nuclear blast,
and that they're coming
to figure out
exactly what went down.
It's kind of this quick reunion
before they realize
they have to keep moving
because the reclamation team
is nearby.
[Gunfire]
Get down!
♪
Who are they after?
The pilot who lifted
everyone to safety.
Why'd she help us?
Because
I asked her to.
What are you,
together?
When Morgan learns
that there is, in fact,
a person who Al
has feelings with
and a person who helped Al
save everyone,
his desire to risk his own life
to help Al is all about
wanting Al to be able to
experience something like that.
You can still
find her.
I've made my peace
with it.
Morgan kind of invoking
his biggest fear,
the thing that we heard him say
when he first joined
"Fear the Walking Dead" --
I lose people
and then I lose myself.
Chambliss: And that really
spoke to his fear
of opening himself up
to human connection,
because there are many
great things
that come along with that --
friendship, companionship,
love,
but at the same time,
it carries a great risk
in this zombie apocalypse.
It's not uncommon to
lose the people around you
just like that.
Man: We have the two parties
you escaped with.
She shared Ground 17's
whereabouts.
We will
eliminate them.
We heard from Isabelle
just how capable
a reclamation team could be,
so we knew that it was really
gonna have to come down to
our characters outsmarting them
so that we wouldn't have to
be having Morgan and Grace and
Al looking over their shoulders
for the rest of their time
in "The Walking Dead" universe.
It kind of had to be
a clean defeat
where no one knew what happened.
[Gunshot]
[Grunts]
[Scuffling]
You're not killing
anybody.
One of the other things that
we were kind of interested in
is giving the MRAP kind of
its last, heroic moment.
This is a vehicle that made
its entrance
back in the first episode
of Season 4
and it was always meant to
be a part of Al's character.
[Door clanging]
We saw it used to great effect.
We saw the guns on the roof
used.
♪
[Guns click]
We, of course, know those guns
are out of bullets
in this episode,
so we got the idea that we would
use these old,
Civil War-era cannons.
♪
CRM soldiers think the guns
are going to be used,
but ultimately, they're not.
It's really just
to distract them
so the MRAP can
pull out of the way
and Morgan can pull the fuse
on the cannon
and use the cannon to
essentially obliterate
the soldiers in a very,
very messy way.
There's always something about
seeing a Walker in pieces
and of course,
Al is a bit sarcastic
to a CRM soldier.
Where the hell
are your legs?
One of the last scenes
between Al and Morgan
is an interview where Morgan
says he saved Al's life,
so she owes him an interview,
and that is a direct callback
to the fact that
that Al saved Morgan's life
way back in 401
and said that meant
he owed her an interview.
You really know
where she is?
Yeah.
I do.
Why are you not
going after her?
He's asking her these questions
because he wants her
to have to confront the fact
that she's the obstacle
standing in the way right now
between her reunion with
Isabelle, the woman she loves.
♪
This episode was very much
a callback
to Al and Morgan's first episode
on "Fear the Walking Dead,"
and that episode, of course,
had one more person in it,
and that was John Dorie.
Even though he's not with
these characters,
we can feel him there,
because Morgan is moving forward
with the lessons he learned
and Al is hearing kind of
the echoes of everything
that John Dorie would have said
if he were standing there
in this episode,
telling Al that she's got to
get on that helicopter
and try to find Isabelle.
Truth is something
you can't get around.
Nope, you can't.
♪
While we're giving them
the "Fear the Walking Dead"
version of a happy ending,
we wanted to be clear
that it wasn't going to be easy.
We kind of landed on this idea
of having Al's interview
that she had done with Isabelle
to be playing in the background.
It spoke to Isabelle's love
for Al,
that she's in this cabin
watching this tape
and she's obviously still
thinking about her.
You know,
if I come with you...
it won't go well.
But at the same time,
it allowed someone to voice
all the practical concerns
that they would have to face.
[Gun cocks]
Isabelle: Al.
We've got to stop
meeting like this.
Al.
Just can't live my life
looking over my shoulder.
We'll always be
looking over our shoulders.
That's okay.
What that did was
it essentially allowed Al
to speak to the fact that
their love for each other,
the fact that they
can be together,
can outweigh all of
those negatives.
This is about the best
happy ending you can get
in "The Walking Dead" universe.

go first?
