Fear the Walking Dead (2015–…): Season 8, Episode 5 - More Time Than You Know - full transcript

The heroes fight the clock and PADRE's forces.

There are thousands of
carrion in that shipyard.

We taught the kids how
to fight for a reason.

It's time they showed
us what they've learned.

PADRE wanted her to find a way

to stop the effect
of walker bites,

a treatment, radiation.

- How are you feeling?
- I think the treatment worked.

- We'll meet you on the mainland.
- Okay.

I'm paying the price
for chasing the dead.

I'm sick, Morgan.

Help me! Help!



Come on. Come on.

Morgan: Can we go faster?

She's burning up.

She's losing so much blood.

Here, put this on it.

June... do you copy?

Dad, she's waking up.

Hey, Grace.

Morgan...

It's okay.

Where are we?

We're on a boat.

What's going on?

You got bit.



I remember.

The house...

in the rubble...

It's gonna be okay.

No.

No, it's not. It is.

June has a way of
treating bites.

No one does. Mo: It works.

Finch... he got bit.

They're right. It's
helping. He's doing okay.

It helps to stop the infection,
and it stops the fever.

So we're gonna get to do
the things that we said.

We're gonna get to spend
some time together.

You, me, and Mo...

Shit. They caught up to us.

Everyone stay down.

They're getting closer.

I'm pushing it all I can!

June... do you copy?

Go for June.

It's Grace. She's
bit on the side.

We can't amputate.

What you did for Finch, you
think it'll work for Grace?

Maybe.

We'll take maybe.

Morgan, to do it, we need
equipment that PADRE has.

Where did you treat
Finch? On a train car.

She's overheating.

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

Morgan, what's her temperature?
Do you have a thermometer?

I don't, but she's hot.

She is really hot, June.

Okay, we need to treat her fast.

Where was the last place
you saw the train car?

Female voice: It's not
there, Nightingale.

Why do you think I put it on
wheels in the first place?

To keep people like you
from messing with it.

What the hell do you want?

To help.

To save Grace's life.

Then tell these assholes
to stop shooting at us.

Not before you hear me out.
I don't have time for this.

No, Grace doesn't
have time for this.

So listen carefully...

I'll tell you where
the train car is.

My people will escort you there.

I'll even allow Blue Jay to
administer the treatment.

Grace will get the
care she needs.

And what exactly do you get?

I paid a little
trip to King County.

I saw what you did
outside your house.

I saw how many walkers you
killed single-handedly.

Well, except for the
one who bit Grace.

What do you want?!

There's a shipyard, one that is
very important to our future.

And that has what to do with me?

There are thousands
of Carrion inside,

and I need them all cleared.

I don't care if you get help...

From Red Kite, Starling, Lark,

even that army of parents
you're assembling...

I just want the Carrion dead.

I was going to have
the prefects do it,

but why risk them
when I have you?

That's how Grace gets
a shot at living.

God, she's losing
so much blood.

We can't waste any more time...

I need another dressing...

We shouldn't even
be on this truck...

There's more of us than them.

She's waking up.

Where am I?

Hey.

Where are we going?

We're on our way
to the shipyard.

And then they're going to take
you to the train to meet June.

You surrendered to them?

How do you know they're
gonna do what they say?

Because we're not gonna
clear the shipyard

until we're sure
you're safe with June.

It's too dangerous.
We've got it handled.

Morgan for Daniel...
Where are we?

We're armed and ready, Morgan.

But we need assurances
from that woman

that we're not
walking into a trap.

I assure you the
Carrion are real,

and I want them dead.

The contents of
these containers,

they're valuable to me.

What are you gonna help her do?

We're gonna clear.
We're gonna clear.

We got people, we
got the weapons.

You need to tell us
where the train is.

No guns.

Has to be done by hand.

And why is that?

There's supplies in
these containers,

supplies we need to
rebuild the world.

Fertilizers, munitions...

One stray bullet and PADRE's
entire legacy goes up in smoke.

Why didn't you tell
us that before?

I knew you had an army.

I didn't know you
had an armory, too.

You already told her
too much, Morgan.

This is too dangerous now.

I can't ask my
soldiers to do this.

What does that mean? Daniel.

Come on, don't do this.
Don't back out on us now.

I'm not the one you
should be angry with.

He's right.

Daniel?

Daniel, it's okay.

I don't want anyone
to die for me.

I'm sorry, Grace.

I wish we could help you.

Over and out.

We can do it without them.

You don't know that.

You need to be here for Mo.

And you guys need to
be here for Finch.

I had to watch Jenny
die from a bite.

I can't do that again.

It's not up to us.

It is if we can save you.

You can't.

It's not like I had
much time anyway.

What is she talking about?

Before the bite...

I was sick.

It's cancer, Mo.

Can't June help?

No.

No, my sweet girl.

I've been running away
from it for a long time.

It's finally catching up to me.

How much time do you have left?

Months?

Maybe a year?

Well, that's a lot
more than a day.

Why are we stopping?

Shrike, what the
hell is going on?

If you're not gonna
take the deal,

we have to make sure Grace
doesn't hurt Wren or Finch

when she turns.

What the hell? Hey,
easy, easy, easy.

Don't do that.

Mom! Easy, easy.

Wren, this is to protect you.

Listen, I will do
whatever it is you want.

Just please don't do this.
Don't make her watch.

Don't make Mo watch. Look
at me, Finch. Look at me.

Don't let her
watch! Stop. Please!

PADRE One, do you
copy? You okay?

Good instincts. Do you copy?

You trained me well, Red Kite.

What's your ETA?

Gonna fight for every
minute I can get with you.

Is it done?

Move on to Nightingale,
then Red Kite and Starling.

I'm afraid Kingfisher and
Magpie aren't gonna be able

to, uh, comply
with those orders.

Just so you know, Red
Kite, others have tried,

but no one's ever stolen
a child from PADRE before.

Well, I think, uh, Finch and Mo
are gonna be the first of many.

Let's take a look at
the map in the cab.

Might have the
location of the train.

No.

Even if we find the train car,
we'll never make it there.

June will never make it there.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

No.

Just...

Just take me...

Can you take me there?

I want to spend whatever
the time I have left

with you and Mo there.

What is this, Grace?

Just take me there.

Just take me there, please.

Hey. Fever's getting worse.

We don't have much time.

Is the train car on there?

It don't see it.

Mm.

Those are the tracks it was on.

Shrike moved it.

It's got to be
further down the line.

These coordinates.

I want to know what's here.

It's a repeater station.

Like the one Grace
serviced for PADRE?

Why would she want to go there?

Because she's sick.

She doesn't know
what she's saying.

I don't know. She seemed
pretty clear to me.

I just got you both back.

I'm not gonna lose you again.

When we first met, you
sent me back to PADRE

because you thought
it was best for me.

This is no different.Okay.

We're gonna do it, alright?

We're gonna take Grace
to the train car.

Sherry, raise June.

Tell her to do everything
she can to meet us there.

Shrike is not gonna
make this easy.

I know, Dad.

But we're fighting
for someone we love.

That's why we're gonna win this.

Here.

Status report...

PADRE Three en
route to target.

Negative on the
south access road...

Keep looking.

We found Kingfisher and Magpie.

Are they breathing?

We found their trail.

How far are they?

It's okay.

They're not talking about us.

It's Dwight and Sherry...

They're acting as
a decoy for us.

You okay?

Where are we?

We thought we'd be
hard to track in here

even if they did figure
out what we're doing.

Well, the c...
the coordinates...

they're inland.

Where are you taking me?

Those coordinates,

they were for one of
PADRE's repeater stations.

I know.

So where are you taking me?

To the train car.

What? No...

June's gonna try
and meet us there.

We can stop this, Grace.

We can give you more time.

There's no way PADRE's
leaving it unguarded.

Well, we still gotta try.

Trying is what's
gonna get you killed.

Both of you.

What, so we should go to
some repeater station?

You want to tell me why?

It doesn't matter.

No, just tell me.
It's too far now.

They found us?
No, that's not us.

Those shots are too far away.

Mo, raise Dwight for me, please.

Hey, Dwight, was that you?

Go, go, go.

Dwight, you okay?

We're pinned, Morgan.

We can't stay here long,
D. They can flank us.

Look, they know they're
following the wrong people.

Okay? You may
have company soon.

Copy that.

Shrike, if you're
listening, it's me you want,

not Dwight and Sherry.

Why don't you let them
take their kid and go?

D, you think she'll listen?

There's no way she's calling off
her dogs after what we've done.

She sent prefects.

She knows we won't kill them.

Finch.

Um...

I'll lay down suppressive fire.

If they do what I taught
'em, they'll... they'll...

They'll fall back to regroup.

Okay? You take Finch and run.

D... What? I'll be
right behind you.

Go, go. Go, go.

This isn't what
I wanted, Morgan.

This is why you
should've listened to me.

You want to tell me
why you wanted to go

to that repeater station?

I told you it doesn't
matter anymore.

Oh, come on, Grace. Why?

What is it?

It's our future.

Over the years,

I'd been scavenging for supplies
to fix things for PADRE, and...

I collected other things, too.

Like what?

Things to make a home.

A place where we could live.

A place where you'd feel safe.

I didn't know that.

I thought we both agreed

that PADRE was the
best place for her.

I did.

But it doesn't mean
it's what I wanted.

Should've said something sooner.

Maybe that would've
changed our minds.

But I waited until
it was too late,

'cause that's what I always do.

If I'm not gonna make it...

I at least wanted to
give her a moment there.

A moment for how it
could've been for us.

Hey, she still can.

We can take her there after
June has stopped the infection.

They know we're in here.

What's wrong?

We can't stop.

You okay?

I just gotta catch my breath.

Did you get... Did
you... Did he get shot?

Did you check him? No,
he... H-he didn't get hit.

D, D. What?

He's... He's burning up.

Okay, yeah, I know.
We've been running.

No. You okay?

Yeah, I-I can still...
I can still keep going.

No, no, no. Hey,
unh-unh. No, no, no.

It's okay. Sit down.

Alright, look here... call June.

Uh, June... do you copy?

What's going on? How is Grace?

It's Finch. Um...

He can't catch his breath,
and, June, he's burning up.

How hot is he?

I don't know. He's hot.

What does the bite look like?

Um...

Oh, God.

Am I going to be okay?

Hey. Oh, yeah.

Whatever it is, June's
gonna figure it out, okay?

It's red and inflamed.

Is it hot, the skin around it?

Yeah.

Uh, the infection...
It could be back,

but I'd have to
see it to be sure.

What does that...
What does that...

W-What do you mean "back"?

Dwight, I really need to see him

before I can make any
kind of assessment.

Where are you?

Uh, Grace's repeater
station. It's close by.

We'll send you the coordinates.

Copy. Standing by.

Morgan, were you listening?

I was, June.

You go to Finch. He needs you.

I'll get to the train
car as soon as I can,

and I'll talk you through
it over the walkie

if I have to, okay?

I know you will.

And thank you.

No.

She has to get to the train car.

No, you heard her, Mo.

Looks like Finch's
infection is back.

She said she needed
to see him to tell.

No, Mo.

If his infection
is back, then...

Then whatever June's doing...

it doesn't work.

We can't give up.

I won't give up.
I don't want that,

but I can't have
you and your dad

risk your lives for a
treatment that doesn't work.

What are you saying?

I want to spend whatever
time I have left with you.

The carnival.

You remember that place we
walked through with Madison?

Look, it's not much,
but if we block

off the entrances,
we can be there.

Yeah.

For as much time as we have.

Let's do it.

No.

We can't give up.

It's not giving
up, my sweet girl.

It is accepting how things are.

Dwight was right.

They are getting closer.

I'm gonna lead them away,

and I'll take the long
way to the carnival.

Dad, no. It's alright.

I will meet you both there.

Here.

Thank you for
understanding, my love.

Hey.

It's what I want.

But I'm gonna see you soon.

I promise you.

You go.

Mo, look after your mom, okay?

Morgan: Mo, where are you?

I'm where we said,
but you're not here.

Please answer.

Mo.

I think I know where you are.

I'm coming for you both.

It's okay.

He'll understand
when you're better.

What are you doing?

It can't be much further now.

Stop, please.

Please, Mo, stop.

We don't have time to stop.

Every minute's going to count.

I don't know why
you can't see it,

I don't know why Dad
can't see, but I can.

We're going to save your life.

Even if we make it
to the train car,

it's not gonna work.

I'm gonna show you you're wrong.

Mo... Mo, I'm afraid you can't.

Good thing it's not up to you.

The prefects... They're
gonna take you back.

They're gonna take
you back to PADRE.

What is it? What is it?

Are you gonna turn around?

No.

But you were right.

They found us.

Call your dad. He'll help us.

Mo... walkie him.

He'll make us go back.

Mo...

Mo, please walkie him.

Here it is.

Why do you think Grace
wanted to come here?

I don't know.

But June's on her way.

We're gonna get you
better soon, okay, bud?

Dad...

Let's get you comfortable, okay?

Grace must have been preparing
for life after PADRE.

She's still gonna get
it. And so are you, bud.

Okay. Lay down.

Okay.

You're going to be okay, Finch.

Just stay strong for us, okay?

It's June.

Hey. Where is he? Come on.

He's in here.

Madison's standing guard
with some of Daniel's people.

You're safe here.

Stop right there.

I said stop.

Mo, do what they say.

They're not gonna hurt me.

Are you, Dove?

Wouldn't be so sure.

Mo. Come on.

Do they know?

Do you know?

Know what?

The truth about PADRE.

There is no PADRE.

He's been dead for a long time.

And that Shrike and
Crane are full of shit.

That they're doing all this
because they lost their dad.

PADRE isn't a person.

PADRE is an idea.

The right one.

Stop, Wren.

You'll have to kill me.

No, Mo...

Mo, no.

Don't make me do this. I
know how upset you were

when you found out
your mom was dead.

I don't think you want
me to feel that, too.

Dove?

Mo...

Mo, please.

I don't think any
of you want that.

I don't think any
of you will hurt me

just to keep me from
trying to save her.

It's gonna be okay.

We're gonna save you.

Here.

It's gonna be okay.

We're gonna have more company.

They're drawing Carrion.

You okay?

How'd you know...

the prefects wouldn't hurt you?

I didn't.

But I had to take the chance.

June, we made it.

I repeat... we made it, June.

Do you copy?

I copy, Mo.

Can you help me?

I think so.

What's making Finch sick?

It's not the radiation.

The infection's back.

I didn't give him a high
enough dose to kill it

because I didn't want the
radiation to kill him.

But I came close to getting it.

And if Grace already
has cancer...

We don't have to worry about
how much radiation she gets.

It might work.

It might buy her
the time you want.

What's gonna happen to Finch?

We're working on it.

Hey, Mo, whatever you do,

don't let them destroy
that equipment, okay?

Are you ready?

Tell me exactly what to do.

line up the gantry
above the bite...

Make sure the guide
lights cover the bite

and the surrounding area...

go to the back of
the train car...

Wait for the radiation
to dissipate...

Mom.

Do you think it worked?

I hope so.

June, how long until
we know if it worked?

It could take a while.

We have to watch
Grace's temperature.

If it starts to fall,
that's a good sign.

And if it keeps going up?

We'll deal with it.

Uh, what does that
mean for Finch?

Grace had the infection
longer than Finch did

when I treated him.

If she responds to this
dose of radiation...

it might work for him, too.

W-W-What do you mean "might"?

June, what next?

Uh, power down the machine
and turn off that generator.

I don't want you to be exposed
to anything you don't have to.

We're not gonna be able to
get out of here ourselves.

Your dad's on his way.

Where are the prefects?

I'm sure they're hanging
around somewhere.

Red Kite taught us never
to leave ourselves exposed

if we didn't have to.

They're gonna try to stop
Dad from getting to us.

You were so brave back there.

When they tried to stop you.

Losing you, that seemed scarier.

When I was your age,

I couldn't even
work up the courage

to pick up the telephone

when my parents left me
at home with my sister.

What's a telephone?

I forget how different
things are for you.

That's what I was trying to do

at the repeater station.

Show you how things were.

How they still could be.

You'll still get to show me.

What is it?

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're getting hotter.

The fever... Maybe
it's breaking.

June, she's burning up.

She's way hotter than before.

What's her temperature?

There's a thermometer
in that rolling cart.

It's 106.

What does that mean, June?

June, what's happening?

I'm sorry. The radiotherapy...

She didn't get it in time.

No...

No, I got her here
as fast as I could.

It's not you, Mo.

Even if she had
gotten the treatment

right after the bite, it
might not have been enough.

It hasn't worked on anyone else.

We can give her more.

Tell me how much to give her.

No, don't do this.

Tell me how much.

Give her any more right
now, Mo, she won't survive.

She's not gonna
survive the fever.

It's okay.

Tell me how much to give her.

It's okay.

You did everything you could.

Tell me how much.

I'm sorry. I can't
help you any more.

All I can say...

is enjoy the time
you have, okay?

Come here, my sweet girl.

Hey.

We don't have much time left.

Mo?

Mo?

Are you there?

Answer me, please.

Dad?

Hey, I'm on my way to you.

I tried, Dad. I tried.

I know. I heard it all.

I'm sorry.

Listen to me.

You have nothing
to be sorry about.

Be careful.

There are prefects in the woods.

Well, if they're smart,
they will listen to me,

because I know they can hear.

Don't try and stop me.

Don't you try and stop me!

You still in the train
car with your mom?

Yes.

Then let me talk to her.

Hey.

It wasn't meant to be.

Should've listened
to you before.

No, it's okay.

I understand why you didn't.

Grace, I don't think I'm
gonna make it to you before...

I'm so sorry, Morgan.

I'm gonna do everything I can...

Everything I can...
To get there,

but if I can... If
I can't make it...

Grace, Mo's gotta leave.

But she can't.

There's walkers outside.

You know what you
have to do, right?

I know.

I love you.

I love you so much, my darling.

And nothing...

Nothing will ever change that.

I love you.

I'm not ready to let you go.

Neither am I.

I don't want to hurt you

if I'm going to go
before he comes.

I need you to.

If I can't hold out,

you have to promise
me you'll do it

before I come back, okay?

I promise.

All you wanted was to spend
whatever time you had left

with me and Dad, and
I took that from you.

I took that from him.

That's not true... It is.

You gave us more time, Mo.

No.

I wasted it.

I wasted all the
time we had left.

I'm not talking about today.

There was a time...

when things were really bleak...

When your father and I...

were thinking of ending things.

We came so close to doing it.

Do you know why we didn't?

Because we heard you crying.

You gave us a reason to live.

You gave us more time...

Than you know.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

I can't do it.

I can't.

Mom, please.

Hey.

Nightingale.

We need to talk.

I'm gonna be right back.

Okay?

Okay.

It's a promise, Mo.

You're a brave man.

I thought we'd have to
come in there to get you.

Any one of your people

could've killed me
before, but they didn't.

They knew what Heron
would've done to Wren a...

Grace. Alright?
Her name was Grace.

We dug this out of storage.

We remember what you did
with it seven years ago

when you tried to run.

It's a shame you couldn't have
used those same skills today.

Can you leave us alone? Let
us just bury her properly.

I'm sorry, but I can't.

You can still make things right.

I wasn't asking permission.

You need to leave us be.

You're not going to
hurt my prefects.

But they don't have that
same hang-up about you.

Hey.

They're not the ones you
need to worried about.

Listen, Nightingale.

And listen closely.

I could kill you right now.

But I don't want to.

I know the pain Wren's in.

The whole reason I am
doing what I'm doing

is to prevent anyone else from
feeling that kind of pain.

She already lost a parent today.

Please, don't make
her lose a second one.

Dad... stop.

Mo, go back inside.

Go inside.

She's right.

I don't want to feel
like this any more.

There is nothing she can
do to make that go away.

Why do you need to get to the
containers in the shipyard?

So we can build new settlements

all over the country.

So we can make sure no one else

feels what you're
feeling right now.

You can't run away
from your feelings.

She won't be running
from anything.

She'll be heading
towards a bright future.

What bright future?

You can't even get to the
containers in the shipyard.

I can clear it.

Mo.

If you help me.

It's what PADRE's been
training us to do for years.

She's right.

Mo, those walkers
are gonna kill you.

Not if we do it smart.

Not if we use our training.

Mo, please.

Who's with me?

Alright.

Let's do it.

Mo... don't.

Mo.

Let's go. Please.

Don't do this!

It's not gonna
work! Please don't!

I can't lose you, too!

I can't!

And there we have it.

It's not about what she wants.

It's about what you want.

Hey. You?

You're gonna get
my daughter killed.

I told you... I don't
want to kill you.

Alright.

Alright.

Smart man.

Mo!

I warned you.

You're not gonna kill me...

because you can't.

What makes you think that?

Because I don't die!

Everybody else does,

but I don't.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe you need to think about
why that keeps happening.

Make sure he can't get out!

Oh, my God.

I thought I was past this.

What's going on, Morgan?

All I do is kill.

What the hell happened? Mo?

Don't come after me.

Kill as many as you can.

We find him, we get the
coordinates before Shrike does.

Shrike's going to the swamp.

I'm gonna make sure she
doesn't come outta there.

I need my axe. Morgan!

Baby, run.

-Dad. She's waking up.

-Hey, Grace.

-Morgan, what's going on?

-You got bit.

It's gonna be okay.

-No. No, it's not.

-It is.

June has a way of
treating bites.

-No one does.

-When Shrike realizes what
has happened to Grace,

she offers Morgan this deal.

-I'll tell you where
the train car is.

I'll even allow Blue Jay to
administer the treatment.

-What exactly do you get?

-There's a shipyard.

One that is very
important to our future.

There are thousands
of carrion inside,

and I need them all cleared.

That's how Grace gets
a shot at living.

-Morgan being presented with
this deal with the devil.

And it really is all designed to
kind of play on Morgan's fears.

-You know, Dad, we're
fighting for someone we love.

That's why we're gonna win this.

-Grace, when we first met her
on the show in Season Five,

she already believed she had
a ticking clock on her life.

She realizes that the
odds of the bite treatment

saving her are pretty low,

and she really just wants to
spend the final few moments

she knows she has
with her family.

-Over the years...

I'd been scavenging for supplies

to fix things for PADRE,

and...

I collected other things, too.

-Like what?

-Things to make a home.

But I can't have you and
your dad risk your lives

for a treatment
that doesn't work.

-The one person who
can't accept the fact

that there is no
hope for Grace is Mo.

She is just pushing forward kind
of against her mother's wishes.

-It's okay. He'll understand
when you're better.

-Please, Mo, stop.

-We don't have time to stop.

Every minute's going to count.

-It leads to what ultimately
is a really beautiful moment

where Grace ended up
getting what she wanted.

And that was this really kind
of sense of this strong girl

she was gonna be leaving behind.

-If I can't hold out...

you have to promise me

you'll do it before
I come back, okay?

-I promise.

-It's so traumatic for
Mo seeing her mother die

that it actually scares her

and she wants to pull away
from family altogether.

And she goes all in on PADRE,

which for Morgan, then, is his
worst nightmare coming true,

which is he's lost
the woman he loves

and now he's gonna
lose his child.

-I don't want to feel
like this anymore.

-There is nothing she can
do to make that go away.

-Why do you need to get to the
containers in the shipyard?

-So we can build new settlements

all over the country.

So we can make sure
no one else feels

what you're feeling right now.

-I can clear it.

-Those walkers are
gonna kill you.

Mo...
- Let's go.

-Please, don't do this!

-I want to spend whatever
time I have left with you.

My sweet girl.

It is accepting how things are.

-When I think about
saying goodbye to Karen,

I think about the things
we were looking for

when we wanted to cast Grace.

She has to be an actor

who has kind of this
warmth beneath the surface,

and ultimately, Karen
has that in spades.

I mean, it's impossible
to kind of meet Karen,

to be in a room with her
and not feel that warmth.

And that's always
the hardest part

in saying goodbye
to these characters,

is saying, like, "Oh, man,
I'm not going to get to

kind of work with them
on a daily basis."

-It's very painful to say
goodbye to Karen and to Grace.

When we lose characters
on this show,

we want it to leave
an emotional ripple.

And it's impossible not to feel
devastated to see Grace die.

And we're gonna miss her.

And I'm very grateful to Karen

for being part of the journey.
