I need

We headed in?

Well, I can't show up

Wife wouldn't like that.

Oh, my God.

This garden's her baby.

Got herbs and teas
for everything...

pain, nerves, sleep.

How 'bout focus
and speed?

Well, those Whisper folk
really got you percolatin', huh?

There's a lot of lives
at stake.

Where are these munition depots
you spoke of?

Is this one of them?

Nah, that's just
an old lab...

some structural damage.

Wild animals
get in there sometimes.

Best to stay away.

When I said I had to
come home to my family,

I meant it.

I promised her
when we got married.

Flowers every day.

How are you gonna wait till now
to tell me this?

[SCOFFS]

Those words
don't come easy.

I don't like
to bring people here.

Don't trust 'em.

I was scared.

Are there any weapons here
at all?

I promised
I would help you check,

and I will,
but...

- Ugh, I'm gonna find 'em myself.
- The island's not clear.

No shit
it's not clear!

It was
until the others came.

They brought violence.

The sickness
came with it.

Killed my family.

We never had
a lotta Rippers.

So I never really
got good at...

doing [SIGHS]
what it is you do.

You're good
with a sword.

What are you askin' me?

My family's
still in there.

My wife.

My babies.

That's why
I asked you to come.

Needed you to come.

VIRGIL: I wanted to give them
somethin' they loved

to take with 'em.

And Jasmine
loved that book.

Look, I know that this is hard,
and I am sorry,

but I have got
to get back.

My wife,
whenever I had a hard time,

she'd talk me
through it.

Without her,
I don't know who I am.

It's not too late
to find out. Look...

I wanted
to ask you...

It's been
a long time

since I had a reason
to say thank you to someone.

Don't thank me.

Just show me
what I came here for,

and I'll go.

No,
it's gettin' late.

Tide's low.

Oh, God.

I'm not sure the boat'll make it
through the channel.

Might wanna stay here tonight
and not risk it.

Virgil, I need you to hold up
your end of the bargain.

Yeah. But...

[GRUNTS]

It's gettin' dark,

and some of the buildings
aren't safe.

Could we do this
in the morning?

We can do it
first thing.

Virgil!

VIRGIL: Why couldn't you
just wait until morning?

I told you
it wasn't safe.

Virgil,
open the damn door.

MAN:
Calm down.

Hello?

WOMAN: We've been trying
to talk to you.

How long
have I been in here?

A day maybe?

[SIGHS] A day?

Why didn't you answer me

when I called out to you
the first time?

He blows up
at us sometimes.

Gets in
one of his moods.

When he's angry
like that,

it's best
to be quiet.

You guys know this building,
right?

What's the layout?

Don't bother
trying to escape.

Whole place
is booby-trapped.

What's his routine?
How often does he come around?

As little as possible.

He doesn't like
to see us.

[SIGHS]

Celeste and I were researchers
with Virgil.

We wrote the papers.

- Yeah, and I swept the floors.
- She assisted us.

So you had a life here.
You knew each other.

Yeah,
we were friends with Virgil.

Tell me
what went wrong.

Stragglers used to come
by boat,

stumble on us,
and we took 'em in.

We took 'em all in.

One night,
it got really bad.

Food supplies
were gettin' low,

and a fight broke out
over the rations and...

And somebody pulled a knife,
and this newbie died.

Virgil was late
gettin' there,

panicked.

Said we need
to lock all the doors.

He didn't know.

Virgil didn't know.

Know what?

His wife and kids
were inside.

[SIGHS]

He snapped.

He was never
the same.

We've been in here
ever since.

You okay?

I will be.

I'm not
stayin' here long.

You need some rest.
Eat something.

The food
should be okay.

Save your strength.

You can't kill him if
you don't have your strength.

CELESTE: You haven't
told us your name.

It's Michonne.

[CLANK]

[PANTING]

I'm glad you ate.

Open the damn door!

I can't do that.

Why the hell not?!

Because you'll kill me.
