Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 8, Episode 2 - Blue Jay - full transcript

Who is teaching
us to be strong?

PADRE!

He'll train
eight-year-olds

to kill without a good reason.

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

Back up. Don't!

What are you doing?!

I brought you here
seven years ago.

I also helped you and
your father escape.

Where are you taking me?

I made a promise to your
dad, and I intend to keep it.



Why was she back at PADRE?

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

How'd they find us?

Now we have
something to fight for.

Warbler,
what's your ETA?

10 minutes out.

Hurry up. Got a
lead on an egg.

Might be a whole mess.

Ah, God damn it! We've
been hit.

I repeat, we've been hit.

Warbler, is that
you? What happened?

Where are you?

Warbler, come in.

What happened?



What do you think happened?

That asshole got us.

Cut our goddamn fingers off.

You should've been
ready for them.

They've been at this
shit for years now.

Oh, spare me your "I
told you so" bullshit.

When I find this son of a bitch,

I'm gonna cut off both his hands

and shove them down...

PADRE 3.
Rescue complete.

Copy, PADRE 3.
En route to you now.

Hello?

I just wanna talk.

Don't shoot.

Give me one good reason not to.

Just hear me out. How'd
you find this place?

I followed you here.

Please! I'm the one who's
been writing on your signs.

Name's Adrian. I don't
want to know your name.

I need your help.
Can't help you.

My daughter, Hannah...
Don't know her.

Collectors took her away from
me years ago, right near here.

I said I don't know her!

Maybe not.

But you know PADRE.

I've seen your signs.

What you've got in that jar.

I know you can help me.

Get out.

You don't trust me?

I get it. Ask me
whatever you want.

I don't want to get
to know you. Why not?

Because I don't want
to get to know anybody.

What did they do to you?

Did they take your kid?

Did you take kids for them?

Get out!

And don't come back.

Hey! Whoa!

This is my daughter.
This is Hannah.

This is Hannah.

She was 7 when this
picture was taken.

She'd be 12 now.

That bracelet?

She made one for each of us.

Please.

I said I can't help you.

I-I'm gonna be back
here every day.

There are a lot of
like-minded people out here

who would help you
with what you're doing.

We're forming an army
to take on PADRE.

You could be a part of it.

I see you here
again, I'll kill you.

I think you're just saying
that to scare me off.

What I want to know is why.

Let me give you a
piece of advice.

If PADRE has had your
daughter this long,

you're not getting her back.

Why not?

Because they use the people

you care about the
most against you.

I'm not gonna stop
looking for her.

Not now.

Not after all this time.

So you can either kill me...

or help me.

But I'm not giving up.

I'm not giving up!

We know who you are now.

We'll be back.

Shit.

Shit.

Don't move.

I didn't know there
were kids on board.

Where did you... I hid under
the tarp when you shot them.

Can you put the gun down?

I'm telling PADRE what you did.

Don't do that.

Please, don't do that.

PADRE two, our
boat got attacked.

Finch?
Where's Whistler?

Dead. She killed him.

And Red Kite and Starling?

She knocked them
out.

What's your location?

Where are we?

Hey. Hey. Whoa.

Damn it.

Repeat, Finch, where are you?

June, is that you?

Shit.

She shot you with her darts.

She was trying to
steal the boat.

Holy shit.

It's you cutting
people's fingers off.

- No, no.
- Dwight, let go!

No, I don't think so.

Why is she calling you Dwight?

You ran way from PADRE
to... To... to do this?

It doesn't matter.

You used to be at PADRE?

We don't have time
for another boat.

What are you saying?

Look, you don't have to
answer our questions.

But he needs help.

Alright, we think
he has appendicitis.

He... He needs surgery.
Take him to the clinic.

What do you think we were doing?

We've got a patrol heading
out. Do you copy, Finch?

Tell them where
we are, Red Kite.

- Hey.
- No.

Why not?

She's gonna do the surgery.

Dwight, no. She's a nurse.

You were taking
him to the clinic.

Someone there will
be able to help you.

That's 20
miles from here.

His appendix could
burst by the time

we get back there on foot.

I don't have what I need in
my kit to do an appendectomy.

Well, you need to figure it out.

And why is that?

'Cause if you don't,
I'm gonna tell PADRE

who's been cutting off all
his Collectors' fingers.

I just wanted to leave.

Why?

Because...

it's not safe for
me here anymore.

Hey, buddy. You alright?

Why don't you hop off the
boat for a minute, okay?

Alright. Hey, remember
what I taught you.

You see Carrion...

Aim for the eyes.

Yeah. I got it.

Alright.

Why are you making me do this?

Why are you making us
make you do this, June?

What the hell happened to you?

Look, I'll tell you what.

You do the surgery, we'll...
We'll get you a boat.

You... You could take it
wherever the hell you want,

and PADRE will never
know it was you.

That's your kid, isn't it?

The one you were pregnant with
when they found us on the rafts.

Does PADRE know?

He... He doesn't know that,
uh... that Dwight's the father.

He said he's been teaching him.

He teaches all the
kids. Combat training.

They, uh... They
call him Red Kite.

And you?

PADRE's got me in the nursery.

And... And Finch doesn't
know about either of us.

How'd you get on the boat?

PADRE would never let you
spend time with your own kid.

I got myself reassigned.

So you lied?

We've been following
PADRE's rules.

We haven't spent time
together in years.

We wanted to make
sure Finch was okay.

And then?

Once the surgery's done,
we'll take him back,

and no one will be
the wiser, right?

Everything will go
back to how it was.

Please.

I know where we can
do the surgery. Where?

I don't want to
answer any questions.

I will take you there.
We will do this.

But then you need to hold
up your end of the deal

and get me that boat.

We will.

Come on. Let's go.

This is where you
want to do the surgery?

Yeah, how'd you even
know about this place?

Uh, why is that there?

Jesus.

You sure this place
is safe, June?

It is now.

Take this. It'll
help you fall asleep.

Hey, I'm ready to
start the anesthesia.

Will it hurt?

No, sweetie, no. You
won't feel a thing.

And when you wake up,
you'll feel all better.

Oh.

Uh, and I...

brought that.

Why would you bring
that? I don't know.

It's... You know, there's
nothing like waking up

to a new-car smell.

Uh, Sherry, can you get me
the airway from that shelf?

Mm.

How did they make
a hospital on the train?

Don't worry. We have
everything we need.

Just try and relax.

I'm feeling sleepy.

That's good. That means
the medicine is working.

Sherry, we need to get started.

Can I talk to you?

Both of you?

What the hell is this?

Huh?

Who are these people?

No questions. That
was the agreement.

No, no, no. No,
the deal's changed.

You're not laying a hand on him
until you answer some questions.

You asked me to do this.

Uh, Sherry's right, June.

You... You gotta give
us something here.

This is...

Hands up.

- Oh, shit.
- Okay.

Who's this? What are
you doing with that kid?

I'm trying to help him.
Two Collectors from PADRE?

It's not what it looks like.

My daughter, Hannah.
PADRE's got her.

One of you knows where she
is, and you're gonna tell me.

Maybe we could help you.

- Sherry.
- No, she's right.

Look, this does not have
to end in a fight, okay?

I'm sure... I'm sure
your daughter's fine.

PADRE hasn't lost a kid yet.

And I teach them how
to protect themselves,

so if you tell me
what she looks like,

then we can figure
something out here.

Adrian, your location.

Please respond.

Oh.

Adrian, where are you?

No, no, no.

Don't even think about it.

There are lots of us.
We'll do whatever it takes

to make sure you can't
hurt any more kids.

We brought him here to
save his life, you asshole.

We have a problem.

The bullet hit
the control panel.

I can't do the
surgery without power.

Please, it hurts!

Dwight.

There's an emergency override
at the back of the train.

If we can turn it on, we'll
have the power we need.

You're lucky.

I'll go.

Come watch him.

June, get out of my way.

You can't walk
through the train.

Why not?

It's full of the Dead. What?

What are you... What
are you talking about?

Damn it, June, just tell
us what happened here.

I used to work here.

How come we never
heard about it?

It was off the books.

PADRE didn't want
anyone to know.

Experiments they
were conducting.

The walkers, like
the ones in the file?

That woman in the photos,
her name is Shrike.

She works for PADRE.

He wanted her to find a way to
stop the effect of walker bites.

That's not possible.

She thought it was.

She had an idea. A treatment.

What kind of treatment?

Radiation.

Slow and painful.

It was worse than
dying from the bites.

Shrike tried to force me to
administer the treatments.

But I wouldn't do it, so I ran.

We have to get to the
back of the train.

And we can't exactly go around.

I don't think we have to.

I'm sorry about all this.

I told you to stay away from me.

If I had, I wouldn't
have seen this place.

And this shows me you
know even more about PADRE

than you let on before.

I can't help you.

Can't or won't?

Your little sniper attacks,
you're not stopping them.

You're barely slowing them down.

You want to do something?

Help me find Hannah.

Or help him.

Get him out of here before
those Collectors come back,

before they take
him back to PADRE.

No.

I can't.

'Cause you're afraid.

You said PADRE used the people
you cared about against you.

You can't run away from that.

I'm sorry for whatever
happened to you.

Truly.

But if that stops you from
getting close to anyone again,

what exactly are you living for?

We back in business?

We are.

How's Finch doing?

He's still asleep,

but the medication
won't last much longer.

Alright, we're on
our way back now.

We'll take that asshole off
your hands when we get there.

Be careful. This train's
seen better days.

You okay, honey?

What? What? What is it?

It's just you calling me
"Honey" and seeing Finch.

I can't snap back to
how things used to be.

I mean, look, hey,
hey, we only have today.

We make the most
of that, you know?

What if we didn't
just have today?

What are you talking about?
We made a choice, D, right?

Years ago, when we got
brought in on those rafts,

we said we wouldn't fight back,
we would play by PADRE's rules

because we thought it was
a safe place for our son.

But this?

After what we saw here today,

I-I can't bring
Finch back here, D.

This doesn't' feel safe.

This feels like... Sanctuary.

Yeah.

So let's do something about it.

Like what? Like leave.

Look, June knows all of
PADRE's collecting grounds.

Right? All of the places
that he would look.

Yeah.

Uh... Uh... Uh, where
are we gonna go?

We'll find a place.

And then once we're
settled, we'll find a way

to let everyone inside
know the truth about PADRE.

You, uh...

You really think we can
do this? Be a family?

This is... Yes, yes.

I know we can.

Hey, I saw it earlier,

when you gave Finch that
stupid air freshener thing.

Yeah.

We can do this.

Hey. Oh.

Shit.

What the hell's going on?

Dwight, Sherry, what happened?

Dwight,
Sherry, are you okay?

Shit. Oh! D!

Ah!

Roof caved in.

We landed in a-a car full of
walkers like I've never seen.

Stay where you
are. I'm on my way.

No, no, no, no. No,
no. It's too risky.

I-I went through all my ammo,
and it wasn't hardly enough.

I'll figure it
out. No. No, look.

June, Finch needs you
for the operation, okay?

And, uh, look.

Um...

if we don't make it back,

promise me you will
take care of Finch.

Please promise me.

June.

Stay where you
are. I'm coming.

No, no, June! Do not c...

Hey. Hey, what the
hell are you doing?

They need to survive. For him.

Are you doing this because
it's what's best for that kid?

Because you're afraid you
might end up being the one

who has to take care of him?

Don't follow me.

I'm so sorry.

Come on!

I told you not to follow me.

Good thing I didn't listen.

You should have.

We're a lot alike,
you know that?

The only difference is, I
still have someone to live for.

You need to find yours.

I told you there are
more people like us.

Together, we can
take down PADRE.

I can't help you.

I'm not doing this for me.

I'm doing it for Hannah!

I'm going to find her,
whether you help me or not,

and when I do, I want her to see

her father isn't the
man PADRE says he is.

We should keep moving.

I'm coming with you.

It's too dangerous.
You need to go back.

I can handle the Carrion.

Red Kite taught me how.

How was that?

That was good, kid.

What are you doing here?

I'm gonna tell PADRE how
I fought the Carrion.

Finch, we're n... we're
not gonna go back to PADRE.

Why not? Look, we
want what's best

for you, and it...
And it's not there.

What are you talking about?

We're... We're your parents.

No, you're not.

Hey. No.

No.

Okay, I... sweetie,
I know this is a lot

for you to take in right now,

but I promise you, we're
gonna figure it out, okay?

As a family.

Yeah.

Oh. Hey. We really should get
him back to the operating room.

Let's go.

No.

Hannah.

You knew! Hey! Let her go!

That's why you wouldn't
help me! You knew!

- Let her go!
- Get off me!

It's okay. It's okay.

You killed her. No.

You did. I tried to save her.

You killed her.

I treated her for asthma
when she first came to PADRE.

She was just a scared kid.

She missed her dad.

She reminded me of my daughter.

And I wanted to take care of
her and make her feel safe.

You're a liar. I
thought she was.

No, you're a liar.

No, and then she
went on a scout.

She went off-island
and she got bit,

but it was on her back,
and I couldn't amputate,

but I had to do something.

I had to save her.

That woman... Shrike...

She put my Hannah
through that treatment?

It wasn't her
treatment. It was mine.

What are you talking about?

I saw someone survive a bite

longer than anyone
I had ever seen,

and she'd been
exposed to radiation,

so I thought if
it worked for her,

it could work for Hannah.

Youdid this to her?

I gave her radiotherapy

with equipment that we
scavenged from a hospital.

It stopped the infection.

But the amount of
radiation that it took...

just made things worse for her,

and I wanted to
end her suffering.

So why didn't you?!

Because Shrike wouldn't let me!

She wanted to let her turn!

Why?

Why?!

So she could study her.

See how long it took.

And you let her?

I didn't have a choice!

She held a gun on me

and she said as long as her
finger was on the trigger,

I had to keep the
experiments going,

or other people
would pay the price.

That's how this
whole place happened,

because I tried to save
someone I cared about.

And PADRE made sure that other
people suffered as a result.

So I made sure Shrike
couldn't do to anyone else

what she did to me, and I
took her trigger finger.

I knew they couldn't do
the experiments without me,

which meant as long as I
stayed away from here...

Stayed away from people,

no one else I cared
about could get hurt.

She was all I had left.

I understand now why
you want to be alone.

Adrian!

Adrian, no!

I gotcha. Oh.

I'm sorry, baby.

Please forgive me.

He's stable. He
should be awake soon.

Thank you.

I held up my end of the deal.

You should arrange
for that boat.

We will, uh, but, June...

look, when it gets here, we want
us all to get on it together.

No. We agreed.

Well, things have changed, June.

For who?

When Finch wakes up, we're gonna
take him away from this place.

Yeah. We're... We're
gonna try and be a family.

What's that got to do with me?

You're family.

We know what happened
to you, June.

We understand why you left

and why you've been
out here on your own,

but we can't let you
end up like Adrian.

What's that supposed to mean?

As someone who doesn't
have anybody to live for.

Look, I've told you before,

but I wouldn't be here if
it weren't for you and John.

You know, I have a, uh...
A family because of that,

and I want you to
be a part of it.

That's, uh, if you want to.

Okay.

Adrian saved me so I could
find someone to live for.

I just need
to do something.

I need to go put Hannah to rest.

And Adrian, too.
They've suffered enough.

Yeah. We're right here.

Hello, Blue Jay.

Oh, good.
You're waking up.

How did you find me?

I figured it was you as
soon as the Collectors

started showing up to the
island without fingers.

No one else could
be that precise.

Then when I heard
a transport got hit

with a kid who needed
surgery on board,

I knew you'd come here.

June, what the hell is going on?

I assume Blue Jay told you
what this place used to be.

How much promise it had.

Promise?

That what you call
murdering people?

We never killed anyone.

No.

This place was
about saving lives.

Protecting the future of PADRE.

You're full of shit.

You're the one who lied to PADRE
about what you were doing today.

I brought Finch here to keep
him safe from assholes like you.

No one wants these children
safe more than PADRE.

That is why this
place is so important.

What we were doing here
could have protected

these children from Carrion.

Can you imagine?

But Blue Jay ran off before
she could perfect the cure.

Cure?

Everyone we tried it on died.

That was then.

But I have faith you'll
get it right this time.

This time?

PADRE's got something planned,

something big, expansive.

He wants these children to
be as safe as they can be.

You need to pick up
where you left off.

I w-won't do that.

You will.

You just need a
little motivation.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey! Hey!

No, no,
no, no, no, no, no!

Please don't.Stop,
please! Stop it!

Finch, wake up! Finch!
No, no. Please stop.

Wake up, Finch!
Finch, wake up!

Stop it!

Finch, wake up! Wake up, Finch!

Finch, wake up!
Stop! Please stop!

- Stop it!
- Finch!

Wake up!

No, no. Finch!

No, please! Please!
Please wake up, Finch!

Finch! Finch!

Stop it! Stop!

No! Wake up, Finch! Wake up!

Finch! Finch!

Finch! Finch!

Please, no! Finch, wake up!

Stop! Finch!

Finch! Oh, my God. No!

No!

Hey. No, no, no,
no, no.

No!

I'm gonna kill you.

Why would you do that?

I am the only one who
can save his life.

Well, weare.

Get them out of here.

Please!

No! Please!

Please. No, no, no,
no, no, no, no! No!

I'm gonna kill you.

I'm gonna kill you!

Better get to work, Blue Jay.

You've got a lot to catch up on.

We've got new patients on
their way this very moment.

There's just one thing
we have to do first.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What?

We have to make
sure that Blue Jay

can never hurt us...

ever again.

No.

You know where
they're taking us?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Why, Morgan?

Why what?

Why don't you think you can be
the person Mo needs you to be?

You know, what
the hell happened?

What's holding you back?

We may not be alive long enough
for me to pass judgment on you.

I been thinking
about a thing I did.

Actually, a thing I
didn'tdo a long time ago.

What? It doesn't matter.

Can you fix it?

Not the worst of it, no.

Some of it? Maybe.

Then what the hell
are you doing here?

She needs you. What
are you saying?

You need to do whatever it
takes so you can move forward.

I'm not exactly in a situation
where I can call the shots here.

I know.

You okay?

Hey! You...

You need to pull over!
Can you pull over?

She can't breathe!

Come on. Come on.
She needs oxygen.

On your feet. Come on.

On your feet!

Get her a tank.

Madison!

Morgan, go!

Go!

Do what you need to do!

After everything
PADRE gave you,

you betrayed him.

This is how you're
gonna make it up to him.

PADRE's
lied to all of us.

We can find out what
else he's lied about.

We'll let the commander decide.

Who's the commander?

No more hiding
behind the mirror.

Time to tell the truth.

When we first meet
June in the second episode,

she is in a very dark place,
and I would venture to say

it's probably the darkest
we've ever seen her.

This is a June who
is on this mission,

single-handedly hunting down
Collectors and taking them out.

But she's not just
taking them out.

She's doing something
very specific.

For her, it's a way of kind
of removing their power,

saying, "You can't
hold a gun to my head

'cause you literally don't
have trigger fingers."

Cut our fingers off.

You should have
been ready for them.

They've been at
this for years now.

I think reuniting
with Dwight and Sherry

is a really complicated
moment for June.

It's the last thing that
she wanted to happen.

You don't have to answer our
questions, but he needs help.

Alright, we think
he has appendicitis.

He... He needs surgery.

That's your
kid, isn't it?

The one you were pregnant with
when they found us on the rafts.

And Dwight and Sherry represent
a real problem for her

because these are
people from her past

that she cares about
that need her help.

How'd you get on the boat?

PADRE would never let you
spend time with your own kid.

I got myself
reassigned. So you lied.

Once the surgery's done,
we'll take him back,

and no one will be the wiser.

Which just shows you
how difficult it is

to navigate at a
place like PADRE,

where family is at the top
of the list of no-no's.

I know where we
can do the surgery.

Where? I don't want to
answer any questions.

I will take you there.
We will do this.

But then you need to hold
up your end of the deal

and get me that boat. We will.

Come on, let's go.

What the hell is this, huh?

Who are these people?

No questions. That
was the agreement.

The whole kind of idea
for this train car

that was kind of
this horror show

of... of these really
twisted medical experiments

ultimately came out of us
thinking about June's story

and what it could be that
would really set June off,

the thing that PADRE could
have forced her to do

that would... would kind
of be beyond the pale.

I used to work here.

How come we never
heard about it?

It was off the books.

PADRE didn't want
anyone to know.

Experiments they
were conducting.

It was worse than
dying from the bites.

Shrike tried to force me to
administer the treatments,

but I wouldn't do it, so I ran.

The more we talked about it,
kind of the more excited we got

and... and just thinking of
all the really scary visuals

we could create.

It also allowed for the
lighting of the episode

to be just really moody,

and it just ended up being
kind of this gauntlet

that June had to traverse
that put her kind of

into direct confrontation
with her past

and all these things that
PADRE had forced her to do.

How did you find me?

I figured it was you as
soon as the Collectors

started showing up to the
island without fingers.

PADRE's got something planned.

You need to pick up
where you left off.

I w-won't do that.

You will. You just need
a little motivation.

I think it's probably
one of the most brutal scenes

that we've seen on... on "Fear."

And it really does paint Shrike

in just a really, really
kind of vicious light.

But it also raises a bunch
of questions about Shrike,

about what happened in her past.

Finch, wake up!

Finch, wake up!

Finch! Finch! Finch! No! No!

No!

Please!

I'm gonna kill you.

I am the only one who
can save his life.

Well, weare.

Well, when Madison met
Morgan at the end of Season 7,

Morgan only had one goal,

which was he wanted
his daughter back.

At the end of this episode,

she's really scratching
at this with Morgan

and wondering why... why he
doesn't feel he can protect Mo.

What's
holding you back?

She needs you. What
are you saying?

You need to do whatever it
takes so you can move forward.

She knows how important it is

for Morgan to be
able to fight for Mo.

And she's doing everything she
can to make that happen for him.

Morgan, go!

Do what you need to do!
