Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 8, Episode 1 - Remember What They Took from You - full transcript

I think we might actually
have someplace to go to.

She's better off
with me than you.

You don't get to decide
what's best for my family.

Let me go. I want my kid.

And you want yours.

I don't want to find them.

Man: Hands where
we can see them.

Hey. No one's gone
until they're gone.

- Who's he?
- Collector.

He has something to offer.

Where the hell are we going?



Where is PADRE?

I don't know.

♪

♪

PADRE: I don't believe
introductions are necessary.

Uh...

no.

I know who you are.

And we know who you are.

Or we know who you were.

♪



How long have I been here?

Long enough to
verify your story.

We found the raft
you told us about.

We're processing
the passengers now.

How many people
were on those rafts?

Not as many as you thought,

but... enough to
satisfy our needs.

How did you know
they were out there?

I heard chatter on the radio,

and I thought you might
be interested in them.

If you want to be part
of what we're doing,

you need to show us that
you're committed to our vision.

No, I am.

I am, and I will.

We'll see about that.

♪

[Baby monitor crackling]

[Baby crying]

What is this?

Our newest intake.

Why are you playing it for me?

PADRE: We want you
to be a Collector,

to bring us children like this

one who recently
joined the community,

brought to us by the same
Collector who recruited you.

♪

What are... What are
they doing to her?

Her? I had a daughter.

That's why I know.

We're drawing blood,
giving her shots

to make sure she
doesn't get sick.

To make sure she doesn't
make other children sick.

What about the parents? Why
can't we bring them in, too?

We tried.

We found they don't want
to build something better.

They want to
re-build what we had,

and what we had got
us into this mess.

She's not happy. S-Somebody
should comfort her.

[Baby continues crying]

Come on! She sounds scared!

Like all the children here,

she will learn to separate
herself from her emotions.

[Crying continues]

Okay, stop!

What's the matter?
This is a setup.

How did you know?

How did he know?!
Did you tell him?!

A Collector bringing us
a child and a new recruit

in one day doesn't happen often.

We had to be sure.

[Crying continues]

[Grunting]

♪

Does it look like
I sold you out?

You need to bring me that child.

If you want to live long
enough to see any of the things

you're trying to build here,

you will bring me that
child at the dock,

let me get on a boat,

and get out of here
with my daughter.

Do what's best for her, not you.

That's what I'm doing.

Go.

I'll keep him honest
till you're clear.

You sure?

I'm doing what I
said I would do.

Your kid's not gonna
grow up on this island.

♪

Thank you.

♪

Do you really want to do this?

There's nothing
you could do to me

that's worse than what
I'm already living.

We'll see about that.

You're just too young
for this. I'm not.

You've gotta train me.

You've gotta show me what
you did in your trial.

I have my offshore
training next week.

That means I've got to
cram on my survival basics.

chores so you can study?

For how long?

A week.

You don't have to go in
there again. I want to.

I have to go to the Mainland
to help build our future.

Then wait till you're
old enough. I can't.

Every time I look out there,

I feel like something really
big is missing inside of me.

And you think you're gonna
find that on the Mainland?

Only thing that's out
there is more Carrion.

Ones with teeth.

That prisoner down there in the
cellar, why is she in there?

How do you know about her?
A tank fell down the stairs.

I went to get it, and
she asked for help...

You talked to her?

I called for the guard,
but then she... No.

Listen, you stay away from her.

That woman is dangerous.

We could get in a lot
of trouble if PADRE

found out you were down
there doing my chores.

Why is she there?

What did she do?

I shouldn't be telling you this.

Her name is Lark. She
was... a Collector.

Rescued more kids than anybody.

Until, for some reason,
she helped some new recruit

and his kid get off the island.

Who?

I don't know, Wren. Some
dad and his baby girl.

I thought PADRE never
lost a kid before.

I'm just telling you
what people told me.

She's down there for a reason.

They say she took out
over a dozen guards

with just a sledgehammer.

Twice as many Carrion.

She almost killed PADRE.

We training or not?

[Knocking]

You assholes were already
here this morning.

Young Girl: I'm not
here to hurt you.

You came back.

How did you get down here?

I snuck past the guards.

They leave it unmanned when they
do their rounds at shift change.

Why'd you come back?

I need you to teach me.

Teach you? What?

Teach you what?

How to kill Carrion.

Where'd you get that?

Gardening shed.

I know you helped someone
escape from the island.

I know you took out half the
settlement's guards with this.

Heard you even
almost killed PADRE.

And y-you want to
finish the job?

I shouldn't have come here.

No. Please, no.

I can help you.

You'll teach me?

What do you care about
killing the dead?

I need to show PADRE he's wrong.

I'm not too young
to wear the mantle.

I'll help you.

If you do something for me.

What? See that valve?

See it?

I need you to turn it off.

What will that do?

Exactly what you think.

You want to die.

You want to know how I
took out so many guards?

I didn't care whether
or not I lived.

I already did what
I set out to do.

So, I show you how to use
this, you turn the valve.

Do we have a deal?

Yeah.

Yeah, we do.

Well, let me see your grip.

Okay. Now swing it.

[Sledgehammer clatters]

You gotta let the... the weight
of the hammer do the work.

I don't understand.

Well, I just think you're
gripping it too tight.

So, here... let me show you.

Let me show you.

[Air hisses]

Okay. Yeah.

Here.

Back up. Back up!

Don't!

What are you doing?!

Shit!

You lied to me!

You didn't hold up
your end of the deal.

wrong with you, kid?!

trouble because of you!

No.

No, it's not.

It's Mo.

seven years ago.

I also helped you and
your father escape.

What? That's why
they locked me up.

You're not supposed
to be here. No.

I'm not the kid you
got off the island.

You are. You got this
during the escape.

That doesn't make sense! I

So they must have
brought you back.

hard calls to protect me.

Write that down.

PADRE: You've had
quite a day, Wren.

I'm sorry.
Sometimes we have to

learn lessons the hard way.

I'm just glad you're okay.

I have a feeling you're
about to play a crucial role

in the next steps the
settlement is about to take.

We need to talk.

I shouldn't have
gone down there.

I want to be a
part of the future

PADRE's building.

I'm glad to hear that.

We need citizens like you.

Lark showed me what
it's like out there.

She showed me how
lucky I am to be here.

Let me show PADRE I'm not
too young to protect it.

And that's why I'm willing to

let today's transgression slide.

But, Wren, any
future transgressions

will bring harsh consequences.

Hope you learned your lesson.

Don't worry. I did.

Goldberg: When we come
into season eight,

we're introduced to
this new character,

Wren, a young girl at Padre.

And she really, really
wants to prove herself.

[Walker growling]

We see that she's
struggling a bit with it,

and then to be quite sure why...

[Walker growls, Wren groans]

to gain a higher
status in Padre's eyes.

[Squelches, walker groans]

[Wren groans]

Chambliss: Padre is all about

putting the settlement first,

putting community first.

In many ways, we kind
of thought of this

as kind of like a modern-day
version of Sparta,

where the children were taken
and were raised in barracks

and were taught how to fight,

were taught how to put
the city state first.

That's kind of what
Padre is all about.

[Grunting]Man: Who
sustains our way of life.

All: Padre!

Goldberg: And then
she learns about

this mysterious
prisoner named Lark.

Hello?[Latch clanks]

Is anyone in there?

Wait, wait. Please.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Lark was put in this
prison for trying to help

one of the collectors get
his daughter off of Padre.

We realize, of course,
that Wren is Mo and Madison

failed to get Mo off of
the island seven years ago.

Goldberg: What we
were trying to achieve

with the houseboat sequence

was sort of this
nod to this mystery

that's slowly unspooling
in the premiere episode

of what exactly happened when
Morgan tried to escape with Mo.

Why didn't it work out?

Home sweet home.

Is it safe?

Yeah, as long as we
don't draw any more.

What we like with
these set pieces

whenever we can is of course
we want them to be cool

and we want... we want it to be,

you know, seeing swamp walkers

attacking the houseboat
and it's sinking.

But the most successful ones

are the the ones
that sort of dovetail

with the emotional reveal
that as this is all happening,

it forces Morgan to reveal to Mo
what happened seven years ago.

♪

Morgan: We wait for Padre?

What if they don't show up?

They will.

Just like they did before.

How did they find us last time?

I radioed them.

I called them,
told them to come.

It's kind of this huge shock

for both Madison, for
Wren, for the audience.

The thing that Madison thinks
will give him what he wants,

kind of their mission completed,
and he picks up his walkie

and he calls into Padre
and he says, "I've got her.

Let's get her back
to the island."

What's wrong with you?

You have a chance to be with her

and you're throwing it all away.

It's all about creating
this question of...

"What has to happen to a man

to make him lose kind
of his belief in family.

To think that giving his
daughter to a place like Padre

that wants to
essentially kind of drive

any sort of personal
connection out of her,

what makes him think that
that's the right move?"

Wren: They're
going to kill her.

We can't leave her behind.

Grace shows up at
this pivotal moment

to help rescue Morgan,

Madison and Mo
from these walkers

that are kind of threatening
to pull them under.

Who are you?

I'm your mother.

And here it feels like
family is saving the day.

For Mo it's this, like, glimmer
of what she's been missing.

Maybe Padre is wrong. Maybe
I'm meant to be out here.

Maybe I'm meant to be
with these two people.

And maybe we're going to get to
kind of ride off into the sunset

and finally be a family.

It's really setting
Mo up for a fall

when she realizes that
both Morgan and Grace,

they've called Padre, and
they're handing her over.

Padre. How did they find us?

We radioed them.

♪

What? Morgan.

Morgan: They can protect
you in ways that we can't.

We realize that they
do still love her,

that they do still want
what's best for her,

but they just think that's
her living on the island.

That's her being
raised by Padre.

It's all about showing
how far they've fallen

and really creating some
real mystery about what it is

that makes them think that they
can't give Mo what she needs.

And that's kind of the
question that we spend

in the next five
episodes unpacking.
